#which no pressure on any of you guys to answer them! even tho i do still admittedly look forward to replies eventually--

[take-ya-to-the-ghey-bar]

-✧{𝓑𝓮𝓵𝓪𝓽𝓮𝓭 𝓒𝓱𝓻𝓲𝓼𝓽𝓶𝓪𝓼 𝓖𝓲𝓯𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓰}✧-

{these are so shamefully overdue lmao, and part of me would still love to send them out individually with a bit more flavor, but-- i've also realized that i just might not be able to find the find the juice for that... so instead, i'm posting a majority of these belated gifts below the cut, "tagged" to the muse they're intended for~}

First up, for Souji~ { @akumanoken }, Micchan predictably went extra-- and ended up getting like three whole outfits-- with plenty of accessories too lol

All of which are admittedly probably not something warm enough to wear out for a date given the season, but... Micchan would have zero objection to Souji picking one for an in house "date"--

Next up, for Caleb~ { @cuteteacakes }, ya boi didn't go quite as extra-- But hopefully a cute jacket, hoodie, and pair of squishy friends make for a good enough bunch u w u

And a bonus mention here for Jackson~, because while Micchan did only happen to pick out one gift for him... It does happen to be quite the nice fountain pen--

{additional pics of which can be found here, and here~}

Meanwhile, for Shizuma { @shizumaikushima }, Micchan admittedly couldn't find as much stuff as he would've liked... But, ya boi did at least come away with a trio of shirts he felt his boyfriend would look good in--

Plus, a night in, or heading out for a little date somewhere is always on the table as a bonus too~

And now, to close out this post-- i've got bonus mentions for @nacreousxhearts , @meretrixious , and @malafxde because while Minato would've loved to get his Nii-san, and Remy something-- i just could not manage to find any ideas back when i dug up all these-- So, i'm more or less putting an IOU on those gifts, until i can hopefully think of something that'll fit the bill lmao. And as for Gabs, we do actually have a couple small gifts ready for her~! I just didn't include them here, because there's plans to exchange them in return for an old gift ask i still have waiting in drafts~💕

[zablife]

This is not really a request, but more of an idea that I just had, so please feel free to ignore this and don’t feel pressured to respond or write anything!! :)

I loved the ‘Johnny defending you’ fic so much!! This is based off how the fic mentioned that they recognized the reader from the bar a couple months ago! I was thinking that maybe the first time she went to the bar, Johnny saw her and pretty much almost fell in love with her at first sight but he thought she was too young for a guy like him :( and she was also hanging off the arm of the rowdy ‘kid’, so he didn’t talk to her or anything (maybe he also thought she seemed too sweet and out of place hanging out with the group of rowdy asses, let alone dating one). After he kicked out the rowdy group, he assumed he would never see her again so he tried to think nothing of it (but then he does!!)

Idk if this makes sense at all! Again, feel free to ignore this :)))

Hi lovely, I'm so glad you enjoyed Imagine Johnny Defending You. Tysm for this incredible bonus thought which has me feeling so soft as I envision protective Johnny wanting nothing more than to make you his so he can love and care for you properly 😍

Now I can't stop picturing the way Johnny's eyes dart toward you the moment you walk into the bar, unconsciously memorizing every detail about you. He immediately reasons you’re much too young for him, wide eyes and fidgeting hands making you appear like a lost child rather than a woman. But there’s a quiet sweetness to you as well that can’t be denied and he’s powerless against your charm.

It isn't something you're aware of at first, stumbling at the threshold as you clutch your boyfriend's arm to keep from falling. He never breaks stride to check on you, dragging you along with a warning to hurry up and insisting he'd rather leave you outside when he meets the leader of the Vandals, if only he could trust you not to act like a whore.

It makes Johnny seethe with anger to hear the way he talks to you, not to mention his overall lack of care for you. He quickly notices that you're shivering beside the young biker, leaning into his arm for a hint of warmth which he never seems to return.

As the punk makes his demands of Johnny, the older man can't help but think of all the things he'd rather do for you instead. If it was up to him, he'd throw these assholes out, make you sit down and eat a good meal bc it doesn't look like you've had one in weeks. Then he'd lead you to the back room to sleep off whatever drugs you're on bc that glassy stare is beginning to worry him. And even tho you glare back at him when he finally catches your eye, he manages a small smile. He knows you’ve been in survival mode too long to recognize genuine concern, but he wants so badly to show you what real love feels like.

As Brucie jabs him in the ribs for his final answer, Johnny rejoins the conversation. “Nah, we don’t take kids.”

As the kid begins to protest, Johnny ventures one more glance at you with a dull ache growing in his chest. Suddenly he realizes he can’t change any of this sickening reality and the thought fuels a new wave of rage.

“I said you ain’t fucking welcome here!” he shouts, slamming his fist on the table.

The pool game in the corner halts as a few beer bottles crash onto the floor, shattering at your feet. Johnny has to look away as you flinch in response, suddenly ashamed of himself. He watches crestfallen as the Renegades stomp from the bar, taking you with them and out of his life forever.

[teeth--king]

no pressure to answer but i'm curious about how much and in what ways wolfe changed since moving into the valley, like how he was right before and how he develops as time passes, maybe even well into the future? what were the biggest catalysts for his development like getting more comfortable with people and all? what are some things he struggles with currently? anndd how was his life growing up? (skip anything u dont have an answer for or dont wanna share lol)

Thank you so much asking! I'm always so happy to talk more about my guy here! Sorry if it's a bit unruly, my brain is a bit of a mess right now but I do want to talk about this especially since I got myself to make some messy art for it.

Putting this under a cut just for neatness in case it's too long.

Forgot to add kid Wolfe to the art but that's cool, the main stuff is about his adulthood anyways. But when growing up Wolfe was neglected in a non physical, but emotional/mental way. He had to always be what his parents wanted and would be their emotional sponge, causing him to grow up to be more silent and impulsive to put others before himself. The few times he would go to his grandfather's farm, and then home after getting too old to continue to care for the farm, were some of the few times he got to live a little more freely.

Before coming to the valley he was extremely depressed and dysphoric, he dropped out of his marine biology studies due to mental health, because of this his parents disowned him and stopped helping him with any forms of financial burden, so for the next year(s) he became unhappily employed at Joja to help cover living and repaying loans. After having a breakdown from everything weighing too much on him, he decided to take his grandfather's offer of a farm as a way to start over as the true version of himself.

When first in the valley, Wolfe tried too hard to present himself in the way he wanted to be instead of in the way he actually was, because of this he was and came off as anxious. Constantly double taking and forcing himself into and out of situations. He was indeed growing in the way he desired, but at the same time, accidentally stunting his growth due to his own actions and negligence. Finally after making some bonds and friendships he started to actually feel like apart of the community and started to stop forcing himself to be something he wasn't and develop naturally.

Finally more current Wolfe, he's much more confident and comfortable with his part in town but still deals with his fears and anxieties revolving around himself and others. Suddenly growing a sprout was a bit of a set back as it was a new way for him to feel othered, but this was not as much of a set back as he had people to fall back on for support.(sprout is a whole other thing, technically a magical parasite from him messing with magic too much on the farm)

As for future tho, I'm still work shopping that portion.

His biggest catalyst for dealing with people and himself, is himself. He does tend to have a negative mindset and will make assumptions of others before honestly learning about them. Any form of confirmation of his fears has a chance to make him spiral and start to close off again. He does require help from others to get out of this spiral as he can get caught in his own head, which would only make it worse. Despite being appreciated in town and working smoothly with others, he is doomed to always have a creeping fear that it will all crumble away because of him.

Thank you again for asking and let me know if I missed or glossed over anything, my mind is a bit scattered so I would not be shocked if I did so(and apologies if I did).

[bartholomew-junior]

23 25 26... hmm. maybe sips ANd erina And gothi (unless you dont feel like that feel free to just choose one of them cause. 6 entire different answers to think) <3<3

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE thank u circular 4 ur boon of kindness. it is appreciated. apologies for the wait, as i had to let the ideas for this ripen be4 properly answering. i’m gonna start the first ask off with gothi from ep.10.

first of all, i just love her mask and am permanently sad that she never gets to wear it again. bonus for foreshadowing face reveal a few episodes down the line and making her an incredibly ominous cryptid like presence kind of. i just think she’s neat. next is erina in ep.32:

honestly i was really tempted to use a frame from when she was xanu possessed cuz it looked real fuckin cool, but i think this one’s more meaningful. she’s sympathizing with sips for once instead of trying to one up him (at least after a bit) and realizing how tough shit must’ve been for him. agh they make me insane. next is sips from ep.15:

from right after he ate bou claire’s heart. the buildup narration to him looking into the mirror is, ,, agghhh. the fact this was used to promo merch is funny also.

now for q. 25: technically, my first impression of gothi was her getting sips to do karaoke while drunk (lol) and that being the catalyst for EVERYTHING (this campaign is the equivalent of a snowball rolling down a hill). but now, it was her kind of managing and trying to quell sips’ anger best she could along with erina.

erina was just a memelord to me lol. sips wasn’t in the best condition the first few episodes, so my first impression was just that he was a bottomless pit of rage. now looking at the early episodes feels like looking at alpha minecraft in comparison to 1.21, especially without xanu or abby. sneeze was just a little guy.

ok freebie question time. i’m gonna pick q. 22 even tho there hasn’t been a new fic at all on ao3 since i updated my own fic (which makes sense considering we’ve kinda already met the goal of the series even if there’s a lot of stuff on the horizon). and i’ll pick all 3 of them + xanu for this cuz. why not

sips: a lot of the fics on ao3 4 this fandom are oneshots, so there isn’t much they’re able to explore if they’re low word counts, but my dream sips-centric fic would be like. a collection of missed/deleted scenes from his early life and time in ammurin with a kind of dream/void/death motif. bonus points if he’s trans

erina: i haven’t seen ANYTHING about her early life in kylandria being the child of busy royal entertainers, hell even her weapons are like a carnival trick, so i’d really like to see a bit of early life stuff again. are you sensing a trend. also her just dealing with royalty is fun and i have many ideas

gothi: early life again. listen she was a whole ass princess who was allowed to exist only because of her rank she was under so much pressure all of the time, especially with being buddies with xanu. did she ever talk to another defective foreclaimer. who are her parents. did they love her. ugh. also, seeing her interact with vicky is something i haven’t really seen before, so that’d be fun.

xanu: listen. i feel like he’d be the hermit on the high mountain type never interacting with anyone like thanos after killing half the universe. also, i feel like a lot of aspects of his character get discarded in favor of making him easier to digest and write, which i’ve done, and this does not do him any service. i think making all the fools gold cast kind of,, mlp headcanon designified is also fun and i want to do it. also bonus vicky

in conclusion: thank u circular <3333333 :]] :), i hope this isn’t miserably long. i’ve been all worded out for the day. do u ever think abt how vicky and sips are parallels and

[thecourtoflionsandwolves]

@probablynottola thank you for tagging me! I love this games and also love Ted Lasso! I almost used it here, but thought the answers would be too repetitive so went with something different hehe.

Rules: Choose any three fandoms (in random order) and answer the questions, then tag 10 people you want to know better

@black-market-wd4o, @voiddusk, @kaokhss, @ellavrena, @jaypentaghast, @andy4yippee, @unhinged-nonsense, @gayboymolloy, @hearfrost, @waterghoulcalamity

P.S. As I edited this on my drafts, some of the blogs I'd successfully tagged got unmarked and I don't know why? So I'm keeping it anyway in case it does show up on the notifications or people see it on their dash and want to play. No pressure tho. ^^ x

I choose:

Interview With the Vampire.

Stranger Things.

Shadow and Bone (going with the books because I'm not caught up on the show, but I did love season 1!).

The first character you loved:

Lestat, but things shifted pretty quickly to Louis, Claudia, Armand, Louis again and so on... But I guess he was the first because I wish I had his confidence.

El.

Alina.

The character you relate to most:

I relate to a lot of things with all of them, the least would be Daniel, but I still have one or two things in common with him. It's hard to say, but I think Claudia is a safe choice. She's definitely one of them and could definitely be the very first.

Will.

It depends, but Alina or Genya.

The character you'd slap:

ALL OF THEM except Claudia.

Lonnie. Would happily kill him with my bare hands.

The Darkling. Would happily give him the slowest, loneliest and most painful death in the world tbh.

Three favorite characters in order of preference:

Like I said, at this point it really depends on the episode. Sometimes I don't know who to choose even on one scene with just two people. Things are that balanced for me, which is a testimony of how mind-blowing the acting and writing are on this show. It's so satisfying to not be able to choose because all the options are amazing, I hope that never changes.

Will, El, Mike.

Alina = Mal, Genya.

A character you liked at first but don't like anymore:

Santiago. I hate him as a person, love him as a character, cheered when he died and applaud Ben Daniels for his amazing work. All reactions can and do coexist in me.

The only one I can think about is One? I mean, he is supposed to be the character you root against because of spoilery reasons, but I did like him at first. And I did see that plot twist coming from miles away. And it was still one of my favorite scenes from all time anyway because it was that powerful to see. Emmy material. And while I root against him, I still love him as a character. Wow. Such an upgrade in that category of specific type of characters. I love it.

I don't think there's one? Now that I'm thinking about it, I believe this story actually didn't have any traitors or characters that frustrated me? I started and finished the books loving/hating the same people, the only ones that I changed my opinion about grew on me after their development, never the other way around. Unless I'm forgetting something.

A character you did not like at first but now do:

Armand. It was more of a neutral opinion than dislike or hate. There wasn't much to know about him on season 1, but now... I'm obsessed. Assad is a wonderful actor, he stole the scene several times and gave me some of my favorite moments in the history of television.

Steve. I think the writers didn't know what to do with him at first, so he behaved in bad ways that really don't make sense with the person he turned out to be. It wasn't even like "wow, what a great character development", because he has absolute no signs of that guy anymore. It just feels like a totally different character at this point, but in a good way. He's my favorite among the teenage characters.

Zoya.

Three OTPs:

So I don't have OTPs that easily, it depends a lot on the writing, chemistry and the characters having a good amount of screen time for a pairing to get on OTP level for me. But here we go:

OTP

SHIP that has potential to become otp depending on future development

Ship I like and I root for, but some things are still missing for me OR there's probably not enough time left for it to become a full otp at this point

LOUSTAT? Okay, these two I'm not sure if they are a ship or straight-up OTP to me, I'm still figuring it out, but they're my favorite so far. Also, the church scene and the hug are my top 3 of favorite scenes on the show and some of my favorite on anything I've ever watched. I think Loustat will go down in history not only as one of the biggest pairings on TV shows, but also as the only one that fully explored all the depths of a relationship and even the depths of existence for the characters as individuals. The good, the bad, the ugly, the complicated. There's nothing else out there with that caliber of writing, chemistry, details and layers. At least not so far. And I'm in for it. ARMANDIEL, I need more time, but I'm invested. I haven't read the books, but everything I hear about Devil Minion sounds so compelling. And that scene with young Daniel is the other scene from my IWTV top 3. It's one of my favorite scenes ever as well. The chemistry was out-of-this-world and I hope they develop their dynamic on both timelines. LESMAND, I need more and I'm incredibly invested too. Everything about them on the books just sounds so insane. That scene they had alone, the chemistry was fantastic and so hypnotizing... They could be as explosive as Loustat, but in a totally different way if the writers want. I'll probably still root for the endgame ships, because that's what they'll spend more time with anyway, but I could accept any, each and everything they give me because the chemistry between all the duos is that incredible. Even Loumand, that sank pretty fast in the narrative, I loved their flirty and courtship phase so much. I'd also accept a large polyamorous ship if they gave me, but we know those vampires would kill each other and themselves because they can't really share lol. But I'm just enjoying the ride and having a great time.

BYLER, Jancy, Elmax.

MALINA, Genya x David, Nadia x Tamar (tbh that's the only other ship I remember/think that exists on the books and I'm neutral, but Nadia is AWESOME and I love her).

[stygianheart]

inspired by your post asking for headcanons, i, in fact, do not have any to give you. i do come with questions tho!!

will koby like. ever get used to being around luffy? like one day he'll blush a bit less, in the very least. also is the easy and super red blush a koby thing or a koby-being-like-that-specifically-about-luffy thing?

ALSO UNRELATED TO THAT BUT is koby always in the verge of breaking down? after the chapter where he's (rightfully) very pissed and screams about the situation they're in, it got me thinking if it was not just what was happening that caused that reaction, but also weeks or more of constant stress he has to keep in check frequently, or else he'll snap just as bad/even worse as he did that day.

(when i say stress it's more like... beyond his profession? like not only about his job but other things too, as minimal as they are, that keep adding and make him have to keep a great hold of himself to not break.)

Even better, questions. I adore questions, it gets the rusty gears in my head moving.

*pulls up chair and desk* YAY NOW TIME TO ANSWER—

Fortunately for Koby, he will finally get used to being around Luffy. Might take a while, since they’ll have to meet up in secret, but one day, he won’t be a tomato every time he sees Luffy. Though personally, I feel like he’ll still blush a smidge whenever Luffy compliments him, which ties into the next question. Since it’s practically canon that Koby is an ex-crybaby, I like to think that he gets flustered by compliments from anyone quite easily, not just Luffy. However, him turning EXTREMELY red is a Luffy-Only reaction, one that Luffy probably likes a whole lot.

As for the second question: yes. Koby’s a young man of his pretty high status, so he feels like everything had to, while not being perfect, he as close to it as possible. He’s like a naturally stressed out and worried guy, and as the top ranking officer of his own ship, he has the weight of at least a couple dozen marines’ lives in his hands. He feels like it’s his duty to make sure that everyone on his ship is safe (hence him jumping off a cliff with a bomb in his hands.) But during this mission with the Straw-Hats, it’s a different type of pressure/stress. As we know, it’s been Koby’s dream to be a marine since god knows what age, Oda’s never told us. Yet he’s coming to face the harsh truth (once again) that his dream heroes (the Navy/Marines) aren’t as perfect as he grew up thinking they were: they’re corrupted and negligent to those of lower status, and rather biased. Koby, as a *cough* friend *cough* of Luffy, probably doesn’t completely understand why the Marinez hate him so much, and as the hours tick by, he’s only discovering worse things about the people he used to idolize. Which will likely lead to Koby confronting the higher-ups when all is said and done. Who knows. Maybe he’ll blackmail them into allying with Luffy.

Thank you SO MUCH for the ask!!!!!

[Magi rewatch] Episode 14: Alibaba’s Answer [Part 2]

With no context it's like they're just chatting

This is still so fucking hilarious. The fact that he just went and said, yeah, pretend we didn't lose any right and all that, pretty please

She needed a moment to process it.

I feel like the manga showed better how Alibaba's 100% aware his argument is bullshit, but this one might be a bit overthinking on my part. In the manga simply Alibaba's and Ka Koubun's thoughts align, where here we only get Ka Koubun being like this is bs, and Alibaba thinking the argument is forced. It's not as jarring as many other changes, but can be misunderstood if you're not paying attention.

When the princess actually decides to tell the Emperor about some bratty prince's pseudoarguments, rather than disregard them entirely right away.

It's a slight difference here. In the manga Alibaba thinks more about Kougyoku's lack of authority and the fact that she doesn't want to get married, while in the anime he comments how she folds easily under pressure, and then the marriage thing. Obviously, I like the manga version more - there's more of Alibaba understanding the circumstances, but the anime isn't that bad either, as it frames it as him just being able to read her that easily.

One day his bs will save your country, you don't even know

Still, you gotta appreciate the fact that she didn't actually fold that easily.

Also, yeah, yeah, Kougyoku spam. She's my beautiful daughter, I'll do what I want.

Your time to shine, Womanizer of the Seven Seas (fuck you, tho, not literally)

But also Jesus fuck. I wasn't sure bc of the wording, tho looking back, yeah, it was obviously that, but he's just saying that, yeah, Balbadd's joining the SSA, so it'd be hard for the Emperor to try to conquer Balbadd, and I'm like, bro, you've been waiting for this moment.

Ok, a change, in the manga Sinbad is surprised to have Alibaba join in. And also Alibaba is, once again, much calmer about it. Here he does kinda look like he's clutching at straws, while in the manga he was talking like it was obvious, how did you not know about it?

But also, it does make me think about that time he later used Sinbad's name to get the pirates sent to Sindria, rather than potentially becoming slaves and all that. It's kind of funny. But in his defence, Sinbad started, and he just rolled with it, and also later did the same again, so.

God, she looks so tired.

Can't blame you, girl.

Grl no

The way he's just running after her yelling "Himegimi! Himegimi!" XDDD

"This really just happened?"

The way his shoulders just fell

Proud dad

Honestly, that's a really sweet moment

Shame it's about to get really, really bad soon

Grl no

GRL NO

NO GRL NO HE'S AN ASSHOLE

Live Ka Koubun reaction

Ok, so, stuff changed. In the manga Alibaba tells them more to do, Sahbmad & Barkak included, while some stuff is skipped, which, alright, but then we have Barkak being like, yea, people will call for our execution alongside the previous kind, so let us atone for our sins by death, and like ???? First of all, in the manga it's Alibaba who says that people will want 23rd executed, but he'd rather send him to be held in confinement, since he still doesn't want to kill his own brother, and then he's like there's no laws yet, anyway. In the naime there's, like I've said, this whole Barkak being yo so we're gonna die, too, k, and Alibaba's like how about no there's no laws for it anyway, I need you guys to help build a republic, and like. Is it for the sake of drama or what. Also he kinda makes it sound like he wants 23rd to help, too, he doesn't even mention the confinement.

Kinda lmao

speech time

Huh, I thought it'd be a bit longer, but we cut to Banker really fast

I mean. It looks a little silly. I know it's about there being a lot of them, but it looks like these birds are simply that big

I can't believe Aladdin just exploded

Bye bye, Aladdin!

Ok, back to speech. And also the building is so pretty.

How loud is he speaking, actually.

Oh, hi there, in the manga... tbh, I don't think we know where you are in the manga.

You're about to stop smiling very, very soon

: ' )

Also, ngl, The Bravery is growing on me a little bit. It has that nostalgic feel to it, y'know? It reminds me about SAO's Crossing Field a little.

[golbrocklovely]

so this video was interesting to me for a lot of reasons. i definitely liked it more, i think, than tommy and foolish's but i think that's also bc so much more happened.

first off, i think the girls did excellent for their first investigation. they weren't too freaked out, even tho they had every right to be, and i liked their overall presence in the video. they seem pretty cool :)

now… as for the place they went to….

ngl, it seemed a bit freaky, for sure. i'm a little confused how all of the documentation of a place can be burned and yet ppl still know everything about it, but i digress lol

god knows there's probably some stuff that slipped thru the cracks and found it's way into history books.

i think the main issue i had with this video is the lack of physical evidence. i'm not one to discount other ppl's experiences. i believe them all when they say they felt something was there, or was watching them, or they saw something that the camera didn't catch. i'm not gonna argue that.

what i am gonna argue is this: if you truly feel like you are hearing things when no one else is, feeling touched or pressure on your body…. leave. step outside and center yourself. and if it seems to be a reoccurring issue, don't stay there. i feel terrible for niki bc she was getting the worse of it. but girl… walk outside. there's no way i would be chilling in a set of caves allowing ghosts to cop a feel for an hour lol i would be such a bitch about it, they would want me out of those caves asap.

but she's nicer than me so i get why she stayed.

i just feel like in places like that, where it's mostly feelings rather than evidence like devices going off, it becomes an echo chamber. one person freaks out, and bc you care about them, you start freaking out as well. and so on and so forth. and i think that's why investigations that take place in those type of locations, you need to have some form of grounding exercise or something that can center you. and not just being saged outside before walking in.

i always carry or have on two crystal necklaces that i've had for years now. i don't even know if they're real crystals, but bc they make me feel at peace, i make sure to always have them with me regardless. and i think bc none of them had anything like that, things spiraled very fast.

hell, i usually have my crystals on when i do tarot, let alone if i went into a place like this.

i don't fault any of them (except maybe snc bc they should know better by now) for not knowing what to do in situations like this. i can only imagine how fucking weird it must have felt.

the only point i want to argue is that when they were talking about "oh i feel this pressure on my chest, like it's hard to breathe"…. you're hundreds of feet down in the earth. that's gonna happen. the air in the caves is probably from the 1800s. literally body juice (ew) is leaking into the caves. it's not the healthiest air down there.

but aside from all of that, i think the video was really good. the estes methods were both interesting and creepy all at the same time. i hate when colby did the estes method and it was all sexual and pervy… no thanks. i also DESPISE that colby went into a trance for a minute when they went down into the lowest part, or hell. absolutely FUCK NO BABYYYY lol

i think the medium/guide they had was an interesting character, and i feel bad that she felt so emotional towards whatever was following them. also, it was very weird to see something want to attack colby, bc that usually happens to sam. so… i wonder why that was the case. but i have an idea as to why that happened (i'm gonna be answering an ask that talks about it in case you want to know).

overall, great video. enjoyed the collab. maybe if snc are in the uk again, they can collab with niki and gee. can't wait for the next video, which should be daz !

let me know what you guys thought about the video :)

✨What's a fic you've posted you wish you could breathe life into again and have people talking about it? (or simply a fic you wish got more credit)

(prev) hmm, maybe Hair-Trigger? like, it got a good response, i'm very grateful to everyone who's read it ❤❤❤ i don't mean in a 'im looking for more hits' sort of way, i just really love Porsche & Kim as a duo and spin them around in my head like a shiny rock all the time. this mostly manifests in me spamming tortoise with Kim & Porsche snippets and thoughts that never seem to flesh out into proper fics, so Hair-Trigger has a special spot in my heart because it's my one finished Porsche & Kim fic and I want everyone to look at Porsche being extremely fond of Kim and Kim feeling all sorts of things about how fond Porsche seems to be of him (surely???? this is a trick????? he is so nice and smiley????????? a mystery)

💫what is your favorite kind of comment/feedback?

i like them all!! i genuinely enjoy all "types" of comments for different reasons, it feels weird to rank them against each other. so long as the comment is excited to engage with me/gush over idiot nerds together, i'm excited to answer and chat with them (although, i am. very behind on my inbox rn. hjghjg im sorry friends, i promise i will respond even tho it might be v late 😂💦)

💘Is there any posted fic you want to rework/re-edit/re-write?

I've actually been rewriting a *checks date* 5.5 yr old yoi WIP (*winces*) for a while now. very slow as my attention gets drawn away, but i love epistolary fic and there's a funny satisfaction without pressure to re-writing it.

but the story rewrite that actually has been sitting on my head for...forever really, is my ft story Jinxed. i was very new to fandom/writing fic when i first posted it, and at the time i'd just posted what i wrote and then went "...wait, how the fuck do you write a multi-chapter story???" and i really psyched myself out of posting more for it.

however, it's always like...sat in the back of my head, even after the fandom bullshit and when ft went to shit. because i just...don't like soulmate/soulmark AUs. 😅 the reasons behind my dislike for the trope are uh...kinda long and extensive actually, so i'll save that for a different post if anyone cares enough to ask, but the premise in this story of two girls with mismatched timers who fall in love and choose each other anyways is one i'm extremely drawn to. and i'm still like, figuring out how to write long stories, and i'm never going to write again for ft, so whenever i look over the old story drafts and notes, i'm actually thinking about it as an original story. not one i've started and maybe i'll stumble into a fandom that i want to apply this premise to, but...after i figure out long-form stories, i really want to swing by this one again, if simply to have it stop haunting my brain every few months.

(rest under the cut because i am rambly lol)

🌈is there a fic that you worked *really fucking hard on* that no one would ever know? maybe a scene/theme you struggled with?

hmm Silver for Truth is the obvious one since i whined about it taking a yr+ to write, but i think everyone understands when i say Tawan is an annoying ass bitch to write.

i'm actually going to cheat and say the freezer!Kim WIP i'm writing with @majestictortoise. there's a few different POVs in this story and one of them is Porsche's POV, and there is something about Porsche's POV specifically that i find very hard to capture. even when i know what i want from his arc and character struggles, post-canon Porsche carries around some conflicting beliefs and mindsets that i find really tricky to write, plus he's also a guy of action who's been forced to a standstill and i want to capture that trapped feeling without making it obnoxious. he's just tricky to me in a way that other characters aren't. (i actually ran into this issue with Hair-Trigger too, except it wasn't so hard because that's a fic about him Doing A Thing He Wants To Do, which is why i was able to write it within the timeframe i did. oh Porsche, ilu, why do u stick in my head so. orz)

🦋what are you most insecure about when you post a fic?

everything? idk, my reaction after i post a fic is to either Stare At My Inbox or desperately try to distract myself from the fact that i Posted A Fic, which really go to show how secure i feel about my writing 😂 i try very hard not to let a fic's reception get to me when i post because i've been down that road and it's really bad for me. all fic i post is fic for me, but i haven't hit the carefree attitude of "idc what you think, its for me first and foremost" yet.

🌻what makes you want to give up on writing? what makes you keep going?

there's nothing that makes me want to give up on writing specifically. i wail and cry when stuff isn't flowing right, but like. so i had an irl thing run me over like a truck april/may of this year and it's bullshit kept spilling out through june and july too, so i had like no time or energy to write or even spend much time on fandom stuff for four months, and i went absolutely bananas. i need to do something creative to feel good, and writing is my favorite of those.

posting...posting is a different story 😂 weirdly if im chasing the high of posting a fic/the high of comments on fic, i dont like to post as much. the hill in my head is too much to get around, so that ig.

🌿how does creating make you feel?

*points up*

also prev

🍉in what ways has writing helped you process trauma and/or navigate through your own life?

...this is such a weird question lmao (not u, the person who made the question list should have deleted this). i've always found writing as a good way of examining my internal biases and preconceptions i might not have otherwise had opportunity to find and reflect upon so clearly, and i'm going to leave it at that.

🎈describe your style as a writer; is it fixed? does it change?

fuck if i know what my writing style is 😂

🎀give yourself a compliment about your own writing

*curls up in more shy* hmm, i really like reading my own stories. like, i always have cyclic periods of "oh god this is garbage what the fuck was i thinking" feelings for each of my fics, but i know now that feeling is brief and it'll be gone soon enough and it will stay gone longer than it comes. the person who reads my stories the most is me, and the fact that i want to go back to read them again is really important to me.

🎉how often do you celebrate completing & posting a work? how often do you give yourself the credit/validation that you seek from others when you post? (if you don't, you should!)

i don't think i linger so much on the actual posting of the fic, but i return to my fics a lot and i've also started paying more attention to how much i post. i'm trying to find a balance between acknowledging that i posted stories vs "oh god, im not posting ENOUGH," but back at the turn of this year, i was really bummed that i didn't get as much posted during december as i had set out to do, specifically because i felt like 2021 had been a really strong year and i'd let myself down not finishing as many fics in 2022. then i actually checked my AO3 stats for 2021 to 2022, and realized i'd posted 4x as much in 2022 than i had in 2021. over 100k words altogether even!

i think i'm getting off topic, but between rereading my own stuff pretty frequently and trying to get a better grasp on how much i've actually posted vs what's in my head, i think i celebrate pretty often? idk 😂

💞what's the most important part of a story for you? the plot, the characters, the worldbuilding, the technical stuff (grammar etc), the figurative language

characters!!! everything's built around the characters. i love worldbuilding, making up worlds is a lot of fun, but i worldbuild through the lens of "what am i interested in?" (which starts with characters) and "how does this affect x?" (because if it doesn't matter to/affect the character, it shouldn't be a priority to me). similarly, plots exist for me to put Specific Guys Into Situations. a plot can be objectively interesting, but i'm not going to stick to it if i don't care about the people going thru it, my brain just doesn't focus like that.

the actual writing of the story is lowest priority on my list. there's a lot of writing types i don't like, but i can muscle thru a lot in the name of a good cast or plot. similarly, i don't give a flying fuck how pretty or polished a writer thinks their sentences are, if the actual story is boring or OOC, i am not reading it. or i am reading it and bitching extensively in friends DMs, which is worse. 😂

💝what is a fic that got a different response than you were expecting?

honestly, hard for me to answer because i'm actively trying not to think about what sort of response i do get. i guess one that still amuses me quite a bit is the response to my fic Shining Dishonesty (howls moving castle AU for haikyuu!!). i love this story to bits and i really love the comments i have on it, but it's weird/funny to me because it's my most recommended and mentioned fic on twitter, but it's one of my lowest in terms of kudos & comments. idk what's up with that 😂

🤍what's one fic of yours you think people didn't "get"?

*big shrug emoji* nothing that comes to mind???

maybe Silver for Truth, just a little bit???? everyone got the message of "get fucked Tawan" but there was also a little more pity for Tawan than i'd expected. like, not really, because Tawan's annoying, but i don't know that everyone quite caught Khun's trap for Tawan in it. Tawan could've completely turned things around for Vegas and ruined Kinn's lie by confessing his own failures/betrayals and accepting the consequences, except Tawan puts himself before all others, even someone he claims to love.

🕯️was there a fic that was really hard on you to write, or took you to a place you didn't think it would take you?

honestly? i don't remember the specific writing issues once something is done. even for something that takes me a while to write. usually my writing hang-ups are related to irl stressors. Pitch It was an extremely hard fic for me to write, but that was because it had a deadline attached to it while i was also trying to come up with money for a new car after my previous one was totaled 😂 and while i approach all stories with a vague plot in mind, it's purposefully vague so i can adapt to where's best for the story to go. that's the part i look forward to the most when writing lol.

💥find your least kudos'd fic - say something wonderful about it.

lol i don't even have to sort my stories to know which one is my least number of hits/kudos. it's by dawn's early light, which i wrote for the bnha myths zine, and it is literally one of my favorite fics i've ever written. there's some stuff i would've done differently now, but i liked it when i finished it, i liked even thru that fucking project's mess, and i liked it enough to post it after the project was finished, and that is probably the highest praises i can give that particular fic.

(this response probably doesn't make much sense to anyone who hasn't participated in a zine before and i'm not going to burden you with context if you haven't, but like. trust me. that's saying a lot 😂)

🍭why did you start writing?

to make a dick joke. i haven't changed.

💎why is writing important to you?

it's just fun. i really like doing it and i really like connecting with people over it/through it.

🪄what is your post-writing/sharing aftercare? How do you take care of yourself or celebrate yourself when you've finished a fic?

i re-read the story about a bajillion times in that first week. you'd think i'd be sick of it by the time it's posted, but the satisfaction of having finished something changes the way i read it and i just bask in that.

📡why is writing and sharing your writing important for fandom?

another terrible question in this otherwise nice questions list.

i like it, so i do it, and i'm lucky enough to have made friends through it.

🎙️which one of your fics would you like someone to make a pod-fic of?

i'm excited if anyone wants to make a podfic of my work and i give general permission for it, but it's not something i seek out specifically. i have very bad ears, it just doesn't really cross my mind.

🤲what do YOU get out of writing?

*points up however many questions ago* it's very fulfilling for me and i like it a lot. i'm lucky enough to have also made connections to others by way of writing, but first and foremost is i enjoy the actual act of it.

💋when you leave comments on a fic, do you want to hear back from the writer?

maybe? idk, i leave comments because i like to leave comments. i like hearing back, but its not like im leaving a comment looking for that. wrong mindset for this question, u know?

☯️how do you think engaging with each other through tumblr, twitter, comments, kudos, creates healthy fandom experiences? How do you deal with that if you're not a social person/experience social anxiety?

*sighs* this fucking questionnaire maker lmao.

responding to fics is fun for everyone. it's a great way to make new friends if that's the fandom experience you're hoping for (same goes for responding to edits, art, etc). if you're anxious to start talking to people or leaving comments or whatever, take the babysteps you need to try to push and expand your comfort zone. and be gentle on yourself -- there's no "right" way to interact with fandom, and you don't have to be perfect at what you want to do right away either.

but if that's not the way you want to interact with fandom, you don't have to. there's nothing wrong with "lurking" and frankly i care about my stuff being enjoyed (even if i never hear about it!), not the ~proper~ way to be in fandom or whatever. furthermore, my healthy fandom experience is regulating and maintaining my own reactions to the reception (or lack of) i get when i post so that it stays fulfilling for me, and that's how i create my healthy fandom experience.

🧿what steps do you take to not take things personally if a fic doesn't do well, or if your writing/posting/sharing experience isn't going how you'd like it to?

mostly i look inwards to see what exactly im dissatisfied with and examine why. there's plenty of stuff that i wish had a bigger reception, but i focus on things that i can control (what im happy with in a story, what i enjoyed about the process, talking about it more in my own blog space so people can choose to engage or ignore, etc) and push myself to that framework of mind. the worst thing you can do is focus on things you can't control, especially something as random and fickle as other people's reactions or a post/story hitting the trend wave just right.

timeloop AU!! (prev)

timeloop AU will be 3 chapters + an epilogue. first chapter is Kim POV, the second one is Big POV, and third is Chay POV. Kim is the first one trapped in the timeloop. Big joins him later. Chay never does.

💌share something with us about an up-and-coming work (WIP) that has you excited!

in my fic Single Star Review, Khun goes to university and then starts seeking extra therapy help. i am Extremely excited for this one, but one of my favorite-favorite parts of it is Khun dismissively says "it's not like i can call Kim and gossip about boys" and Flop (the therapist, no that's not actually his name) asks Khun "why not" and Khun stares through a wall for a solid three minutes realizing hey, he CAN call Kim to talk about boys actually.

-later that night-

Khun: Kim! Kimmy-Kim my littlest kin! forget your other plans, tonight we are painting our nails and gossiping about BOYS

Kim: what the fuck

Khun: my therapist thinks i should try talking to you about stuff

Kim: THERAPIST?!

Khun: THAT'S NOT THE IMPORTANT PART HOW DO I HANDLE HAVING A CRUSH

(Kim is, ofc, over the moon and extremely excited when his brain catches up with his ears, even though he's a total little brother about it.)

💌share something with us about an up-and-coming work (WIP) that has you excited!

Red Line fic is the first installment of a 4-fic series (tortoise is laughing at me for thinking it'd stop with 1). mostly because it immediately dived into one of my favorite variations for how Chay kills Korn.

Korn's death is not a fix-it.

random question but do u have any recs for good YA books? ive started like doing student assistant stuff for my schools librarian so ive been reading a lot of books from there in my free time. usually i gravitate towards the classics but ive started really reading YA for the first time and im honestly really liking it. i already finished speak and the hate u give and my heart and other black holes and some other popular ones and wanna know if theres any particular YA you like that i should try. or i'll even take middle grade recs too if there are any good ones that you can think of

again i know this is a random question lol ive just seen you sometimes posting abt YA and middle grade and i trust your judgement so i figured why not ask😭 no pressure for a reply tho

ok sorry it's taken me like 2 weeksish to answer i've been like. in some kind of torment nexus or something idk. it happens! anyway! any ya i have to recommend is gonna be at least 8 years old at this point i fear so i can't exactly give current recommendations but i mean it's not as if libraries don't have older books so i guess it's fine <3 anyway if you want to read a series there is always the mortal instruments of course.... would not be me if i didn't throw that out there... not the entire shadowhunter chronicles that would be an insane thing to recommend to a person i've never done that and i wouldn't unless i was speaking to a 13 year old who has that kind of stamina and passion. but the mortal instruments books 1-3 is actually a really great trilogy. and i know there's 6 books but you can read 1-3 as a trilogy it's set up weird like that. moving on. idk about genres you like but given your examples i'm getting a contemporary fiction vibe. so here's some of my favorite ya books like that i read in high school that actually stood the test of time for me and i still hold in high esteem and would recommend unlike say. john green's paper towns (not necessarily hating on paper towns or john green. but i just personally would not recommend his work... it doesn't stick out to me...sorry john) anyway here's a list

the sky is everywhere by jandy nelson. it's about a girl grieving the loss of her sister and there's romance and it's well written if you like a sort of camp-esque purple prose writing style, which jandy nelson does in a way that would be annoying if she wasn't so good at it. i'd technically recommend her other books but this is the one i'd say to start with it's her first and it's definitely the one with the most chill version of that writing style. like just in case you find it ridiculous the sky is everywhere is the toned down version

i am the messenger by markus zusak. insane book. maybe not as good as the book thief which is his popular one but still solid. take this rec with a grain of salt though because this was my favorite book in ninth grade and i don't actually know 100% if i just have a nostalgic fondness for it or if it was actually that good

hacking harvard by robin wasserman. insane silly fun book about a group of guys in like 2007 trying to scam some deadbeat kid into harvard to win a bet. it was awesome

aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the universe by benjamin alire sáenz. have to get ari in this list that's literally my buddy ari.... you have most likely heard of this one before i won't bore you with a description

the upside of unrequited by becky albertalli. same author as simon vs the homo sapiens agenda, but this one's better. source: dude just trust me....

one of us is lying by karen mcmanus. i will not lie to you i didn't like this book and i don't think it's good. however. it was memorable. it was SOMETHING. i have read manyyyyy books in my day i do not remember a lot of them but this one i remember clear as day because it was so like. kinda bad... my intro to the world of the mid murder mystery.... cannot deny the impact. for an EXPERIENCE this is the book

in terms of middle grade i fear i have not much to say on the subject of contemporary fiction in middle grade... i think all the middle grade i've ever read in my life is fantasy or historical mystery or something weird idk. but i love the sisters grimm series a lot and i think it should have been as big as percy jackson or harry potter if we lived in a world where books could have female leads and still be considered gender neutral and get popular with all kids regardless of gender. alas i guess young boys just don't want to get their asses up and read about girls. even though it's literally not written For Girls it's written exactly like every other gender neutral kids book series. it's just like percy jackson. the author is literally a man. we live in a society

[thebleedingeffect]

Hi I’m very late to the party BUT I just saw this post (https://www.tumblr.com/thebleedingeffect/761565830330925056/hi-hello-hello-can-someone-please-ask-me-about-how) despite it being days old and. If you are still wanting to talk I am wanting to listen!!!! No pressure tho :-)

HIIIIIIII EMIL <33 AND YES I WANNA TALK ABOUT THIS SOSOSOSSO BAD, THANK YOU FOR ASKING !!! Apologies that it took me a second though to answer this, I fell asleep just as I got it and then I had to go do some irl responsibilities... but I'm here now and ready to lose my mind!

So, just to preface this and give some more depth to this rabbit hole I'm about to go down, I want to say of just how fascinating it is to me whenever Zelda and Link parallel each other. Botw is the most overt example of this, at least in my opinion, but sksw, oot, and ww are also very good examples of this trend. And just to be clear, it's a very good trend! The idea of Link and Zelda mirroring each other and their journeys, struggles, and clear parallels while being so apart for one another? It's brilliant and genuinely one of my favorite things whenever it comes to thinking about any Link and Zelda dynamic. From sksw Link and Zelda having a very clear emotional journey entirely separate from each other where they're forced to grow up from forces much larger than them. From oot Link and Zelda being mirrors of the lose of innocence, loneliness, and sacrifice in the face of a world that will never remember just what you gave up. From ww Link and Zelda and how the ultimate fate of hyrule forces them into these predestined roles that they eventually break out of, symbolizing the death of the old hyrule.

Which is why tp Link and Zelda are so fascinating to me, because they are the one exception to this rule.

From the beginning of the game, hyrule and the princess Zelda are introduced as this far-away, near untouchable force. There's the sort of sense that the castle, and therefore Zelda, is larger than life and the sheer power and regality of her reflects that. Put that in comparison to Link, who's introduced by sitting next to a lake, being a normal guy who lives in a simple village, and who does the equivalent of chores for other people. How they're both introduced is fascinating because it puts them at direct opposition of each other's world, they couldn't have been more different from the start if they tried. Link, who's very much a part of the community and his presence is reflected back onto so many of the side characters throughout the story. Zelda, who's the princess of hyrule and even accepts surrender in the face of saving her own people, but there's an undeniable distance that puts her apart from her and her people.

Part of me believes that the communities that surround both Link and Zelda are sort of reflections of their own selves. Ordon and the rebellion are very much freedom fighters who are intensely concerned with protecting their own and their protectiveness reflects just how much they care about each other on an individual level. Castle town is strangely... distant, almost absent, and seem intensely focused on themselves or keeping the peace. Castle town is an undeniable symbol of prestige, privilege, and wealth as well as sitting right in the shadow of the crown of hyrule, the castle itself. Where each of the corners effect each other throughout the rest of hyrule, castle town is pretty isolated and does not concern itself with the struggles of what's outside its walls, with the exception of the rebellion. This does not mean that Zelda is secretly a cruel, indifferent, or selfish person, but to me, it simply illustrates just how deep her isolation runs. The closest person that Zelda is ever shown to be with is Midna, and even then, Midna still had an entire kingdom and even Link by her side. Between the three of them, I would say that Zelda is most definitely the one most starved for connections outside of her station.

In any other loz game, this would probably be an introduction to Link and Zelda beginning to fall by each other's side and either a sort of alliance or understanding is formed from the difficulties of their own shared journey. But, simply put, that never happens. This Link and Zelda are probably the most distant incarnations to each other that have existed thus far. They're so much of opposites and each have their own issues with isolation, loneliness, abandonment, and belonging, that both parallel but also deeply clash with one another. In my mind, I've always believed that tp Zelda has had the idea forced upon her that she is the literal reflection of the kingdom and should act as such. She's the princess, the pride of hyrule, and her behavior and relations towards others should be reflective of her status. Does she truly believe she's above everyone else and should be treated like royalty at all times? No, but she holds herself to such intense standards that it's just hard for her to sympathize and have an equal respect/trust relationship with most anyone.

That's why she connects with Midna so well because, out of everyone, Midna is the most likely one who would understand the struggles of being the lone ruler to a struggling kingdom. Midna is easily relatable as they share the same struggles, thus Zelda feels more at ease as she doesn't have to risk any sort of uncomfortable vulnerability that she's been taught is unbecoming of her station. She can't risk any sort of weakness as she is the very pillar of the kingdom, and Midna is, sadly, the best shot she ever had at having someone who understood her with so few words spoken.

All of this comes back to the idea of tp Zelda and Link having such a hard time understanding, sympathizing, and getting along, at least in my mind, because they've been kept separate and have their own problems that get in the way of them connecting.

Link, in particular, I think struggles heavily with the burden of responsibility and the fact that he truly does not feel like he belongs in either hyrule or Ordon after the events of the game. He's changed to much, seen to much, has bled far to much to ever go back to the life he once lived with a near care-free nature that seems so alien to him now. He feels like he must hide the true scope of just how much he's changed because, to the world, he's either the hero or the small town boy. He's one or the other, he finds that he cannot be both, and part of him doesn't want to be either of them. Link is stuck in a situation where he has not only fulfilled his role, but he has surpassed it, and just like how Zelda in confined to her role as princess... Link begins to be confined to his role as hero. A role that he took up because there was no one else and he truly did want to help and save people, but will he be allowed to be his own person once the dust settles? Will he be allowed to breath when a hyrule who has just escaped a near calamity is so desperate for the two beacons of hyrule?

This is interesting to me because Zelda's and Link's situations either contrast sharply or directly mirror each other, but their own differences make it so, so incredibly hard for them to understand each other. In a way, Midna was the best thing for them as she was the sort of bridge between them, but with her gone? Their loss, grief, feeling of abandonment, and their own crushing sense of responsibility on their shoulders means that it's just so hard for them to sympathize and understand each other. In my personal interpretation of the both of them, I think Zelda is desperate for things to go back to "how they used to be" so that she can ignore the own pit of longing and loneliness that she carries now that Midna is gone. The kingdom was saved, her people are now desperate for a sense of stability and comradery, and it's the perfect distraction that she needs to push down her own feelings. After all, she's the princess first and human being second, so it's just easy for her to lose herself in the demands of her own people and let her own needs fester inside her.

But Link? Link just cannot pretend that everything is fine and that everything will be okay if it all goes back to normal. In a strange sort of way, Link is the more emotionally honest one by saying that he just can't be the same farm boy as much as he can't be a knight of hyrule. Link knows this about himself, as much as he hates the truth, and I also really like the idea that Link is one of the few people who approaches Zelda like a person first before he ever approaches her like a princess. It's that unspoken breach of how she carries herself and for what the world has deemed her greatest purpose to be, that immediately puts her on edge. Link hates being spoken to like "the hero" and as such, refuses to approach Zelda with the same formality since it's so strange and uncomfortable to him.

It's all of this and more that eventually spirals into them having such a hard time speaking and even interacting with other. Their lives, their worldviews, how they approach grief and responsibility, and the inherent opposite nature of how they've processed their own trauma- makes their relationship extremely rocky. All of their sharpened edges clash with other in their most vulnerable places, and it doesn't help that they are each other's most painful reminder of the troubles they've endured. So, in a way, they still do mirror each other, but in such a way that leaves them so incompatible because they're so stuck in their own hurt and worrying for others- that they just cannot bridge the gap of misunderstanding and hurt on their own. It doesn't exactly help that so much of their own self-worth is tied up around in "serving" others that in order to help each other, they would either have to be painfully vulnerable or sacrifice their own happiness and comfort! One demands for everything to go back to how it was, so that she can ignore the pain in her heart, as if it never existed in the first place. The other demands for a home, to be his own person, to be more than the legacy that was forced upon him, at the same time as knowing that he can never go back to the life he was once so happy with.

One demands for the past, the other wants another future.

Kripint genetics and biology

I’ll dig deeper on how genetics work for these guys, as well as starting with some more of their biology.

As you now know, kripints are shapeshifters, they can disguise as any being they’ve tasted the blood of. However, the main form kripints are born with cannot change at all, this is known as true form

Disguise biology

*For how long and in which circumstances can kripints keep a disguise?*

The short answer is: for as long as they want and on pretty much any circumstances.

They can keep their disguises while they sleep, during stressful situations and even during mating (this is a biological adaptation since their bodies need to perfectly mimic the reproductive methods of the species they’re trying to breed with).

The only exceptions are:

-When having impaired senses due to consuming substances (such as alcohol or drugs). They need to get to the territory of impaired tho; come on, one beer is not gonna make Memo show his pretty scales, but if they’re drunk then there’s a big chance their bodies will mess up the disguise. This can be completely or partial.

-During illnesses. Maintaining a disguise implies maintaining a certain level of energy. Is not extremely tiring, and becomes easier the more the kripint does it. They can keep it awake and asleep as long as they get enough sleeping and food. But when it comes to illnesses, where the body uses all energy to work on recovering, keeping a disguise is impossible. *(More on kripint illnesses later)*

Genetics

Genetics in kripints are similar to humans, meaning that kripints can be born on their true form with traits from their parents, grandparents, great grandparents and up to the fifth generation. The most usual is for them to be a mix from their two families and the environment.

*What does this mean and how does it work?*

Well, you already know that kripints can adapt to any environment by shapeshifting into the species that inhabit it; however, this also applies to their true forms. Once a kripint is pregnant, the environment where they inhabit while the fetus is developing will likely impact on their image; more specifically: the type of fur and keratin constructs.

*This mean, for example, that two feathered kripints, from completely feathered families could have a cub with thick rocky scales and a chubby body if they’re living on the volcanic region*

Following this example, there’s a big chance most kripints born in human towns on earth are hair-type, since human towns tend to not be in climates extreme enough to require any different type.

*Is this my child?*

I hear what you’re thinking: if kripints can have offspring so different to the parents, can they then cheat and give birth to an affair baby?

Well, it would be basically impossible. Kripints actually watch the moment their two **seeds** mix and accept each other, then when one of the two receivers the **fertilized seed**.

As I explained before, once the pouch of a kripint closes with a fertilized seed inside, it’s nearly impossible to open, except for birth or in the case of a miscarriage, which are very uncommon for kripints, basically, the pregnant kripint needs to almost die before anything could happen to the fetus.

*Is it possible then to baby-trap a kripint?*

Well, yes and no.

First of all, I need to explain that kripints can willingly do their special dance for reproduction or just for fun.

The dance only produces a seed if the kripint consciously produces one. Even if the pouch opens, even if they reach *ahem* “total happiness”, the kripint cannot accidentally produce a seed.

This includes impaired senses. It’s an evolutionary trait to prevent unwanted pregnancies. So a drunk kripint will be completely unable to produce a seed during a dance.

*Because of this, kripints must have a serious talk with their mates before even having a dance*

How can they get baby trapped then? Short answer: peer pressure.

You see, unlike humans who either produce one egg per month approx and go through periods or have a constant production ready, kripints only produce seeds during the dance.

*So, they don’t go through any bad secondary effects from producing their damn seeds like us?*

Hahah, they actually do! Though, only if their seed is not fertilized.

If the seed is fertilized, then they only have the bad secondary effects of pregnancy. But if the seed is not, then it will stay around the kripint for 3 to 5 days.

During those days, the pouch will remain open, and the kripint will go through serious cramps, headaches, dizziness and will have a very hard time eating. They also won’t be able to have anything solid, only blood, and just a little bit.

The seed will also gradually lose its brightness until it completely dissolves (that’s when the pouch finally closes and the kripint can finally go back to normal).

During this process, the more time it passes, the more possible it is for the baby kripint to come out with some illness or condition if the seed does get fertilized by another kripint.

*So, kripints can use this to force their mate into producing a seed to fertilize theirs asap*

This is a serious crime in Stila

Very few kripints used to even attempt this, because they knew that then the mate could just escape (which is quite easy since those who haven’t produce a seed can just immediately close their pouches and the one with the seed will not be able to chase in their state). Then, the other kripints would keep the perpetrator locked and prosecuted. This could mark a kripint for their whole lives as untrustworthy on the best case scenario. (More on crime and punishment later).

Unfortunately, although is still a taboo for most kripints, some of the most vile and obsessive families of the group that wants to repopulate the planet, have begun to force their adults into producing seeds against their will. Because of this, and many other things, a lot of young kripints keep leaving this obsessive repopulation groups and instead go to the ones who try to keep their culture (or straight up leave the planet to join the other group).

Kripints can be infertile tho. Is not common, but it happens. This is not a taboo for their normal culture, those are deemed just as normal as any other kripint. But the repopulation obsessive ones have recently started to see it as a curse.

I dont play twisted wonderland, but I wanted to make something for this fandom from reading multiple yan!twst. I kept most things vague, but if I got something wrong about a character tell me. One day when I am finally able to change my phone the first thing i would do is download this game TvT

Edit: I play Twisted Wonderland now-

Tags: fem!reader, child!reader, platonic yandere Characters: School staff

Imagine just a small child was the one who gets taken into twisted wonderland rather than Yuu. The small child doesn't even know where she was as the cat who was surprised kept bugging her with question after queation about how you got here and such.

You cant answer, you didnt even have the answers as you just remember falling asleep on your bed peacefully only to wake up in a huge box opened by a cat.

A talking cat at that.

Dear the stress you gave to the poor thing when you suddenly grabbed the cat's cheeks and just pulled them. Made the poor cat yell in pain.

Crowley found you soon after, shocked to see a small child here in twisted wonderland! As he too started to ask where your parent was and how did you get here even berating the cat for being you here. (The cat Grim just continued to vehemently deny that he was the one who brought you here!!) You could not answer the man, just cheerfully telling the man that you were sleeping in your bed only to wake up here.

After realizing that he can't get any answers from your Crowley just picked you up in his arms as he called the other teachers to his office. 

The other teachers were also surprised when they saw you in Crowley's arms. They had wondered why the headmaster suddenly called for an emergency meeting and expected a few things may have gone wrong or some sort sure...

but a kid??

Sam jokingly asked if you were Crowley's kid that he never told anyone about which Crowley pointedly denied. He soon explained what had happened.

The teachers tried to push you for answers, some almost demanding you to give them till you burst out crying for feeling so much pressure. Professor Mozus suddenly took you away from Crowley's arms comforting you in his arms trying to shush as he glared at the other teachers for being so pushy to a small kid.

Slowly they found out that you were from another realm, not from here and that they cant just easily send you off to your home.

Your family probably thought you were kidnapped at this point!

Crowley had an idea of sending you to an orphanage while he research a way to get you back to your home but reasons aroused that made it impossible to send you away like that.

That the teachers were forced to take care of you.

That would not be a problem at all…. sure…

Who will be taking care of the kid?

It was Mozus who spoke first at the silent atmosphere saying that he would be the one taking care of you tho he would probably occasionally need help if his teacher's duty kept him busy and that was fine with others.

A lot of students were shocked to see you in professor Mozus's arms most of the second years and up have to blink multiple of times or rub their eyes shocked to see a kid with the professor much less smiling at the old guy. The fact that he was also smiling at you made many students believe that this was either a dream or an illusion some choosing to forget the whole thing.

Well, as if that was possible when you follow the old guy to class listening in on the lessons... Listening to the old man or occasionally be seen drawing something while the old man would yell at the student who stared at you for too long.

Sometimes they found you to be with other teachers who looked rather awkward to the fact that they had to watch you. Sometimes they would yell only to hold their tongue when they realize a small child was there in their classroom and might cry like she did last time and they won't be able to fix the situation.

But time went by they grew more and more attached to you. They started to often fight on who you would stay with when Mozus was busy, not only that they started to ask Mozus if he ever wants rest they could help him watch over you. It was suspicious when they do that for Mozus who always deny their offer preferring to be with you than let others take care of you.

It was even annoying when Crowley started to ask Mozus if he could take care of you at that point Mozus's cat would hiss at the headmaster wearing a crow mask daring him not to go near you or even touch you.

Lucius was also the same with the students hissing at those who wanted to talk to you. The more curious students would often try to get close to while the teacher is teaching to ask who you were and if you really were the daughter of professor Mozus or any other questions that had to deal with the rumors floating around not before they were caught by a teacher and shooed away from you.

There were many rumors floating around about you and since they can't go near you and the teachers all give mixed or vague answers none of those rumors were able to be put to rest.

There were rumors where people thought that you were the daughter of Professor Mozus who gave his daughter to the other professors to take care of her every so often. That somehow Professor Mozus had either fallen in love or had a one night stand incident or just something when tho almost nobody could believe that.

Professor Mozus would often smile if asked if you were his daughter about it not denying or accepting the rumors to be true, while other teachers would quickly deny any claims of it which only made things all the more suspicious really. (Tho everybody saw the sour face professor Mozus had when asked about the mother.)

Mozus would get you to wear a more sophisticated look with dark colors and frills occasionally he would make you wear a more pastel lolita style, it makes you look as if you were really the daughter of Mozus which the professors absolutely dislike. So whenever they got you they would quickly swap your outfit that Mozus picked into something more their style. Crowley probably has a small mask and coat that is similar to his when he would make you wear as you go around campus carried in his arms as you giggled at how ticklish the feathers on the mask were.

When you are in Divus's hands you would be wearing a small white fur coat as he told you to straighten your back and chin up. The professor tries to make you a model somtimes and would nag you to keep the jacket on even when you feel stuffy. While Sam would make you wear clothes oh his color tones with an added skull as you try and help around the shop (most things he wouldn't dare you to touch would be placed on the high shelves). Same for Ashton where he would make you wear something of sports wear.

At some point, the professors started fighting for your attention trying to get you to come them that day with promises, candy, toys and even more. The students who have seen this happening cannot believe their ears so much so that they again choose to believe that all this was a dream and nothing more, choosing in the end to forget what had happened and when somebody talks about it they block their ears and started a shout as if doing that could deny them the reality of what has happened.

It was never said that Crowley stopped seaching for a way for you to go back. They didnt want you to leave having grown so attached to you, they wanted to be with you, they wanted you to stay while they became your official guardians.

So when you started to cry wanting to see your parents, they will soothe you by telling you that it was alright, that it was okay that they would be with you and that they would never abandon you. They would not disappear like your parents did and they would love you more than your parents ever did.

Really it is rather often that some of the teachers would fight over who actually becomes your father, sure all of them became your guardians but who is like your father? Sam is alright being your uncle so long as he was your favorite uncle but like it was never decided who is your father…

[jessidogg]

okay, imma be honest here... I was not expecting this silly joke to be such a big deal bahahah, but I do appreciate hearing feelings on this! I would like to add some things myself.

First, I would like to say that hating Creek is kinda my way of loving his character. After all, without Creek, Broppy might not even be a thing! That's the great thing about the story in trolls, things fall like dominoes, and usually everything ties together at the end. I do not like him especially because of the way he treats Branch, that is my whole thing, but it is important to point out that Branch isn't the only one affected by Creek's actions- Poppy is devastated to find that her closest friend would do such a thing. We can't say that "well, what else could he do?" because we know Branch and any of Poppy's friends, including BroZone, would literally die for each other and never do something like that.

Also, about BroZone, I am a huge BroZone fan, and I am NOT saying you have to be too, I just wanted you to know that you can't hold silly mistakes like that on them. They all obviously were angry in the moment, and it is mentioned that some even came back to find them. They probably saw Grandma Rosiepuff gone and guessed that everybody was gone forever or dead, and went off to live their own lives. Heck, John Dory probably didn't even know that Floyd as still living till Velvet's letter came, and he went looking for Branch because he heard about the world tour afterward.

Another thing: they were young, under loads of pressure, and probably felt so bad and didn't even think that their other brothers even wanted to see them again. Plus they were almost adults now and had figured that Grandma Rosiepuff had got it covered.

TOTALLY STUPID OF THEM. I KNOW. But in a way, this is kinda what Creek did to Poppy. Their job as brothers was to stand by their siblings thru thick and thin. They failed. It was Creek's job as a friend to stand with his friends thru thick and thin. He failed. oKay. The Difference? Creek apologized, yes, but never really changed, which really ticks me off about him. BroZone in the movie never really had time to apologize (except for Clay), but I know for sure they did, and they acted on it. Sure, they can still tease Branch and stuff, but they're his big bros- that's life. I have like five little brothers, and I get your guys' annoyance, but we do need to look at all sides of it.

The point of Trolls Band Together is to tell peeps that you don't have to be a perfect family to be a family. People make stupid decisions. I am adopted because my bio mom chose her messed up life over taking care of me. And tho it is too late now, she almost immediately realized her mistake and rushed to fix it. Now she is engaged, healthy, and has two baby boys that she won't have to worry about being taken from her. She apologized to me, told me she loved me, and acted on it. It may be a bit late, just like how it took Brozone 20 years, but they all realized they're mistakes, and were so happy to see each other again, especially Branch. They act on it. That's the important part.

My family is a huge mess lots of the time. We're not perfect. But we don't need to be. There are so many times when we all hate each other. But we get thru it. Being a teen is hard, and we always are doing stupid things. But we need to remember to act on our apologies, then we will be good.

Again, you can have whatever opinion you want, that is just my view of things and I feel I can easily relate. Also we love Branch's brothers cuz they're his brothers, he loves them, THEY'RE A BOY BAND LIKE WUT, and they are super fun characters. THX SO MUCH FOR HAVING THESE CHATS IT'S SO NICE TO TALK ABOUT IT WITHOUT BITING EACH OTHER'S HEADS OFF BAHAHA, THX FOR BEING MATURE ABOUT IT💕💕

This post was originally supposed to be a joke tho, and I did not expect so many literal answers 😂😂

-@jessi4branchifer

P.S. yes Branch is so autistic this is why we love him 😘

HOW?

Those People That Like Creek:

Me:

No, like fr tho- since it's obviously possible to love Creek HOW DO YOU DO IT?!!?!?!!?!!!!

Cuz I would if I could BUT I CAN'TTTT

Moon Signs Pt. 2

Hi guys here’s part 2 of the moon sign series! After I post this, I’m going to be focusing more on answering your questions, I have a lot to answer. Thanks so much for all the support! Without further ado, here’s Libra through Pisces moons! 

🌵Libra Moon: You guys LOVE attention, and you don’t even try to hide it LMAO. One of my good friends is a Libra moon and he literally loves to say outlandish things just to get a reaction from us and to get attention from us if we’re not talking to him enough in a conversation. Libra moons also love relationships and if underdeveloped they may feel incomplete without one. They can also be very dependent on their partner for happiness as well. However, they are romantic and in love with love. They’re also extremely sensitive and are very feminine. Even in men, it gives them a more feminine touch to their personality. They also hold their morals in very high regard. They have their set morals and won’t change them for anything or anyone. They also tend to hate conflict and usually shy away from confrontation. They’re also too nice, WAYYYYYY too nice. You guys need to be more assertive LMAO. They’re also extremely optimistic and if they don’t believe in that particular way they at least try to be optimistic with others. They’re always reminding you the glass is half full. Also, Libra moons are mad clingy. Even with those they’re not dating LMAO. My Libra moon friend whenever I try to leave the FaceTime Call, he’s like “Don’t go... :(”. They just love to be around the ones they love. They’re also in love with beauty, and all things beautiful in the world. They’re lovers of music, art, film, and literature. Libra moons also have a softness in their eyes, I can’t describe it. This girl I used to like has a Libra moon and her eyes were just so soft. They’re also extremely indecisive, they tend to flip flop between who they wanna be and what they wanna do. They also aren’t shy when it comes to compliments, they will compliment TF out of you. They’re the best hype man. They also put others before themselves a lot, and can be very shy upon first meeting them. However once they feel comfortable around you they open up. One last thing, I feel like they tend to like anyone who’s nice to them...don’t attack me. LMAO.  

🌵Scorpio Moon: I feel like Scorpio moons have about ten different playlists relating to their emotions and still won’t open up to anyone about how they feel. Scorpio moons I feel have such intense emotions that they just don’t deal with them and they tend to implode after a while. I relate to them a lot in that respect tbh with my Sun square Moon, because that’s how I am. You guys are also super passionate and super creative. Every Scorpio moon I’ve met has been really creative in some way whether it be makeup, fashion style, or artwork. I’ve also noticed that this is a very alluring placement, there’s this intriguing way about them, and like Aries Moons, they have a fire in their eyes. Their gaze is INTENSE. They’re also very selective with who they let close to them, they don’t let just anybody in. They’re also very good at reading other people and seeing people’s true intentions. They have an extremely good intuition. If underdeveloped this can be used to manipulate other people, as well as being compulsive liars. Scorpio moons are also very protective over the ones they love. If you mess with anyone they care about, they will kill you. End of story. Also I feel like every Scorpio moon I’ve met has been through the wringer, like they’ve really had some hard experiences, it’s so sad to me. Scorpio moons are also extremely stubborn, remember this is a fixed sign. Scorpio moons ain’t playing, once they’ve settled on something, they’re not budging. Also, can we just say, masters at investigating people. These are the friends you want stalking your ex’s social media. They will find out everything. They’re also really good psychologists as well, almost all the Scorpio moons I’ve met are actually Psychology majors LMAO. They’re very good at finding the root causes of people’s issues. I also feel like Scorpio moons undergo a lot of transformations in their lives. I’ve known a Scorpio moon for about 10 years now and he’s undergone so many different transformations in his life. Mentally and physically. They’re also extremely sarcastic and have a tendency to be pessimistic. They’re also mad scary when angry. I’ve seen them angry before, as an Aries moon, even I get a little scared.... love y’all tho. 

🌵Sagittarius Moon: The funniest people ever. Sagittarius moons always have me laughing my ass off. Their sense of humor is very diverse. They tend to stick with sarcasm and like to say outlandish things to make people laugh. Also, I feel like Sagittarius moons tend to go for science/math oriented careers or at least have an interest in those subjects. I know four Sag moons, and they’re all in STEM it’s actually crazy. They’re also extremely blunt and honest, especially when it comes to people they don’t like LMAO. They make it very clear when they don’t like someone, it’s so funny. They’re also just so much fun, like they’re genuinely so much fun to hang out with. I feel like I’ve never not had a good time hanging out with a Sagittarius moon. I feel like Sag moons however tend to struggle with asserting themselves a lot of times, until they get really fed up.  They’re very much go with the flow kinda people, and this can be to their detriment especially with the ones they love, they don’t wanna rock the boat. However, they also make really good mediators and are good at settling arguments. They also really like to travel, and likely have traveled a lot. All the Sagittarius moons I know have traveled to at least 4+ countries. They love traveling the world, and I’ve also noticed move or want to move far away from their childhood home. They wanna explore everything the world has to offer. My cousin who’s a Sag moon left her parents’ house to move a few states away and my other friend who’s a Sag moon wants to move to the other side of the country. These individuals also tend to like foreign culture as well. I’ve noticed Sagittarius moons tend to like foreign music or foreign tv shows. I feel like they also tend to ignore their emotions when they get sad and just don’t like to deal with their emotions. They also don’t like to talk about how they feel and will brush sad things off because it’s just too upsetting for them. However, once the emotions boil over, just like their anger, they will blow up LMAO. I’ve also noticed that they’re really good at teaching people things? Like my Sag moon friend explained this Chemistry equation to me I couldn’t understand and I got it after 10 minutes. Natural teachers. 

🌵 Capricorn Moon: Guys, it’s okay to open up. You don’t have to pretend to be so strong all the time, you’re not weak for showing your emotions. Anyway, Cap moons have high expectations for people, and will not tolerate any bs from people. I seriously commend them for that. I feel like Cap moons struggle with how their points are being expressed, they can say one thing, but it’s seen as something else. While Capricorn moons may struggle with expressing their emotions, I haven’t found them to be closed off or cold when meeting them. Every Capricorn moon I’ve met has warmed up to me very quickly and have been super nice. I feel like they’re very friendly and once they have a conversation with you they’re really warm and kind. Also, they’re not afraid of anything?? Except for showing their feelings maybe. But like, they’re so open to trying new things like scary rollercoasters and aren’t afraid to fight for themselves if they have to. Also, super fucking ambitious. I wish I could be ambitious. These people will really have like three jobs, be in school, and tend to household responsibilities. I don’t know how you guys do it. Now everyone says Capricorn moons are just analytical and systematic when confronted with conflict, and I personally haven’t found that to be true. If they feel wronged?? Nah. They’re not going to be systematic or logical or anything. They will go off. As for personal challenges, yes they’ll be more analytical. But I feel like everyone boils down Cap moons to emotionless and machine-like nerds, which I find to be very untrue. Capricorn moons are very soft once they’re vulnerable with you, and genuinely feel like they’re bothering people when they show their emotions and feel weak for showing them. Also I’ve noticed that their mom is a big motivator for their success. Their moms always push them to do their best in work and school. If poorly aspected, they could feel too pressured by their moms to do well. Also, they’re so underrated for being funny. They have a really dry sense of humor and it’s well developed. I also feel like they get overlooked for putting others before themselves, when it comes to the people they love they’ll do anything for them. Brb gonna go give my Cap moon friends a hug. 

🌵Aquarius Moon: You guys are just so unique. There’s something unique about each and every Aquarius moon, whether it’s a quirk or a hobby. These people are literally the best to talk to. It’s so easy to have a conversation with them, they really can talk about anything. I’ve also noticed that Aquarius moons tend to be interested in astrology and tarot and things of that kind. Every Aquarius moon I’ve met has been really interested in it, and even involved in it. I feel like they also have big dreams, and have big plans for themselves. Aquarius moons also love to get lost in their music and tend to use it as an escape. This can be a problem because they tend to avoid dealing with their feelings. They also go between reacting to things really heavily vs not reacting at all. It just seems like it goes back and forth. They speak up with things are unjust however only to their friends or online. They just don’t like to deal with face to face conflict in that regard. They also give really great advice. My best friend is an Aquarius moon and she always gives me the best advice. She knows me better than I know myself tbh. I feel like Aquarius moons relish in being unique LMAO. I’m 99% sure they had an “I’m not like other girls” phase. I feel like this placement always tends to space out and daydream a lot. They also aren’t the types to just lash out at people, their anger is more subtle (unless they have other placements of course). I feel like Aquarius moons also have a lot of friends but they tend to have a small group of friends that they tend to be super super close with. They’re also...really charming? I don’t know what it is, but like every single one I’ve met has been really charming and likable. They also have a really goofy sense of humor and love to do wild shit to make people laugh. I feel like some downsides of Aquarius moons are that they tend to be too analytical and rationalize things too much, and they inadvertently invalidate other people’s feelings. Aquarius moons are also super open minded to all opinions. I have a friend who I tend to disagree with on certain issues but they’ve always been open to hearing my opinion. They also love to travel too. I’ve noticed that as well. 

🌵Pisces Moon: To think, I was almost one of you guys. No seriously I almost was, if I were born four hours earlier I would’ve been a Pisces moon LMAO. Anyhoo, Pisces moons are just so sweet. I don’t know how else to start, they literally are the sweetest people and give off this mystical type of aura. They’re very otherworldly. Also, these people daydream 24/7. They put Aquarius moons to shame in daydreaming. This girl I like is a Pisces moon and I always catch her daydreaming LMAO. They’re also extremely sensitive too and feel things so deeply. They try to hide how they feel from people, but you can see it in their eyes. I can always tell when my Pisces moon friend is upset just by the look in her eyes. They also tend to be introverted and it takes a while for them to warm up to someone. My co-worker is a Pisces moon and it took 2 weeks for her to finally start talking to me LMAO. They also have really vivid and wild dreams too. I feel like my Pisces moon friend is always telling me about some wild dream they had like that they were in a castle or in an ocean. They also can be really moody, they can be fine one second and then get really sad out of nowhere. Their emotions are like the ocean. I feel like another downside of Pisces Moons are that they can be very manipulative however this is really with any underdeveloped water moon/sun placement. I also feel like they tend to be escapists a lot. They don’t like to deal with reality a lot, and they see the best in everything and everyone even if it’s to their demise. They’re also super friendly and are nice to everyone they meet, even if they’re reserved they’re still very sweet. They’re also extremely creative too, I feel like every Pisces moon I’ve ever met has some sort of creative hobby. My co-worker who’s a Pisces moon is working on becoming a photographer and her stuff is AMAZING. I think that’s because they see the best in the world and the beauty in everything; and they know how to show that in their work so others can see the world like they do. They’re also super empathetic and are really good listeners. You can talk to them about anything and feel understood. :) 

So this wraps up my moon sign series! I hope you guys liked it! Again, don’t take offense these are just my opinions on each moon sign! Hope you guys enjoyed, and if you don’t see your moon sign here it’s likely in part one.
