#which is dumb bc any food is better than no food

Headcanon dumb bc why not?

We'll do one per character since I don't do that very often

Lucifer showers in the morning and night every day and, if he can, will brush his teeth three times a day (once in the morning, once after lunch, once at night)

Mammon sleeps in nothing normally, but if MC asks him to be in their room, is sleeping in his room, or he's sleeping over at someone's house, he has the decency to put sweatpants on (unless MC doesn't want him to 👀)

Levi is amazing at art and regularly does commissions for people. In Satan's room, above all the shelves, he has posters made by Levi for his favorite shows and books.

Satan goes to varsity Fangol practice, not because he's on the team, but because he likes watching the cheerleaders practice (and he has a crush or has had a crush on half of them)

Asmo regularly takes selfcare days, which almost always include shopping and treating himself in the morning at various stores and spending the afternoon (and sometimes night) at Purgatory Hall with Solomon.

Beel will often take food from anyone, but if he notices a particular person giving him their food a lot of the time (looking at you Asmo, Luci, and MCs with an ED) he will stop accepting it to make sure they're eating.

Belphie almost never sleeps in his own bed. Beel's is warmer, much more comfortable, and it has something to cuddle that occasionally bites his shoulder as he sleeps.

Diavolo has a shower that's enchanted by Barbatos to always spit out healing water, which is part of the reason bruises never last long (the other reason is that Diavolo has a crazy good immune system and it's hard to bruise him anyways.

Barbatos fell in love with Diavolo's mother and father and they were together until Diavolo's mother died. After that, since Diavolo's father was broken-hearted, Barbatos swore off love

Mephisto has a cane because of an accident when he was younger. He rode horses for sport and during one of the races (that little Diavolo was allowed to go to, I might add) another jockey purposely knocked him off his horse, leading to a permanent injury in his leg so he limps all the time and it causes lots of pain

Solomon has lived through three different earths. The first earth, where he was a peasant. This earth was wiped out because the ecosystem was falling apart (not the human's fault, for once) but the humans were allowed to go to the next earth as the first humans. The second earth was wiped out while he was in Devildom, so he wasn't wiped out with it. The second earth was wiped out due to Lilith and Belphie. The third earth is what we know today.

Simeon can actually use his phone a lot better than he lets on. He just absolutely adores the look on Luke's face when he helps him fix something.

Luke cannot seem to get any Devildom pastry right. It's always slightly off. He knows this because Barbatos always smiles sadly at him when they do their taste tests. For the life of him, he cannot figure out what it is

Thirteen was once a human who lived in the first earth with Solomon (she hated him there too) When she died, her sins and virtues were exactly equal, so the father and mother (God and Devil herself) decided to make her a reaper, a being to watch over the newly created life candles that hindered a being's lifespan.

Raphael isn't actually indifferent to most things. As an angel, he was taught not to show his emotions and be a perfect guard for Michael (pretty sure thats what he is) so he never learned how to properly express emotions (and he's a lil autistic)

I struggled with some of these, sorry if they're bad or inaccurate. I haven't met Mephi, Thirteen, or Raphael yet

okay i typed this in a reply but i need to say this more detailed here too, the way totk dealt with horses (and stables) is bad and worse than botw imo (yes i can rant about that too, these weird choices are in every little spot in totk, its almost impressive)

in a game that lets you build cars and stupid flying maschines, towers that shoot you into the stratosphere AND teleporting points all over the place, the chance is already low that you use a horse- though i would be one of them bc i love horses and hate building and didnt find it fun at all-

(also i almost never used any parts i had with me bc you cant put them back and your dumb vehicles despawn as soon as you dont look at them- also a negative thing about that system that reinforces the feeling of actually using it being more punishing than rewarding with the added bonus of the good ol saving your health potions forever problem)

-and something i DID like was that you can have more horses and the ... one.. new color (the lil spots but only AFTER you do that one quest in the spy post)

the stable points seemed like a neat idea, but like so many things, are utterly cheatable, imo the system should have only given you a point when you visit a new stable, so you actually have to go around and visit them all

(also .. add new stables, like mini ones or sth that dont offer beds- you dont need that anyway- so you have more places in which you can get them ... why did they remove some of them anyway, shouldn there be MORE now that the land is supposedly healing/being repaired? especially the one next to the big canyon, its so empty there it would have the perfect place for sth like a new settlement or a big boss arena but no its more empty than it was before, why?? and then putting yet another repeating annoying quest there in that weirld empty place?? i just dont get it)

letting you farm points by sleeping at a stable or bringing in a horse gives you LESS incentive to actually go around the world bc you can just farm it there

(and if that was done so youd 'discover' the malanya talks to you in your sleep 'secret' ... that is literally told to you, and if its bc you dont want to force players to go around and find every stable to get all those rewards ... why do you have 140 or whatver caves then with the majority of them being the literal same thing over and over ... to make people actually use the sleeping thing there? .. why, who uses that anyway, and farming points by sleeping there .. what the hell does that add? AND THEN the stupid sleep over tickets, probably the most nothign reward ever, dont count?? i dont think i ever used one- it just all doesnt make any sense, everything plays against each other)

the upgrading system for your horse is .. once again, a neat idea horribly executed, you have to go find malanya to upgrade them, and similarly stupidly like the fairies, they only tell you what food you need for what upgrade when you are there .. or when you are sleeping in the special tm bed at a stable, randomly, one food, bc the quantity changes too

which is just so ??????????? let me go and do a quest that rewards you with a lil booklet in which you can look up what an upgrade costs, or let the stables have that, either as a list or in the menu when selecting a horse or something?? (also why the hell is malanya in a different spot anyway, like, it feels like a modder just plopped them over there, their og spot is just empty now - except for yet again a stupid filler quest for .. another big horse and a yaaaaaaaaays crystal shrine quest- ... the spot is even still called spring of the horse god .... its so stupid, just like the fairy shuffling around, like you really couldnt think of a better way to reuse that concept other than to ... move it to a different spot in the same map and map level???? and not change anything in their og spot except idk, put a hole in the map ... for one of them like .. its like they moved them around last minute just to have the semblance of things being 'changed' with no regard what makes a change actually feel like one and what just feels like, pick up thing, click on random spot on map, drop thing- its like that for the fairies and shrines too, its so dumb and .. feels disrepectful to botw and how much thought seemed to have went into these spots that were clearly built about those things)

and like it couldnt get WORSE, they cut off the paths that horses follow automatically with one of those miasma buttholes (sorry its just a hole cut into the map, it doesnt even look like miasma burst through, it just .. cut out) a monster camp (that RESPAWNS, i thought those camps you clear with a quest would stay clear, but that would make sense, so of course it respawns and you can do the frame rate killer quest over and over yippieee) or otherwise like, with a big rock or a broken bridge-

and there is NO WAY to create a new path or fix or move anything in a game ABOUT BUILDING supposedly, like you needed more reasons to never use a horse????? i liked jsut hopping on and letting them follow a path and chill looking at the landscape, you cant do this here, and you cant even excuse it with 'its bc of the theme' as in, stuff is destroyed bc calamity 1.5 or whatever bc nothing in the game makes it feel like theres anything actually at stake, but the real crime is to make it not be fixable. WHY??? link moves entire buildings with ease but cant move one freaking rock that fell into a river?????? you swing around logs like a club but cant fix a bridge so your horse can get over it??????????????????????????????

another thrilling spirealm update

henlo my friends yes it's that time once again where i tell you what is happening on the bizarrely named drama "the spirealm," i am at episode 25 having shotgunned it all weekend and i have thoughts, opinions, and a gabillion screencaps of ruan nanzhu looking stricken, i finally had to stop taking them because he has the exact same face of devastated yearning in all of them and i was filling up my cloud drive. spoilers ahoy! [parts one and two are here if you even care]

as just mentioned, ruan nanzhu spends his time looking either 1) icily indifferent (when people who aren't qiushi are talking to him and/or dying in front of him, to his vast annoyance) or 2) torn asunder by pangs of desire (whenever he's staring at qiushi, who's babbling obliviously about science or clues or absolutely nothing of any importance whatsoever). here is a representative screencap but he has this look on his face pretty much continually, like he's just been hit by a car. a car of love.

it makes me put my head in my hands and scream quietly, i haven't seen a BL actor who understood the assignment this well since zhang xincheng or maybe even z1l. (who all clearly not only read the novel but underlined it, highlighted it, and stuck in colored post-it notes.) when not busy with adoration, he swans around being magnificent in a frockcoat like he's edward rochester, while lin qiushi trails behind him wearing a fit he got out of the goodwill box in his college dorm.

in spite of being besties with a literal fashion icon, at no point does it ever seem to occur to lingling "hm maybe i should dress a bit more formally for my imminent demise inside the doors"—no, instead he proudly wears his ratty sweatshirt with holes in it. which i sort of think might belong to huang junjie. idk maybe qiushi trusts it, and feels safe in it, hey look at that i made it sad.

massive power couple energy. also notice how their outfits are exact black-and-white negatives of each other, the harper's bazaar wedding photoshoot would have been so goddamn lit.

taking a brief moment for a shoutout to this guy. chen fei i don't even know what your fate will be but i already know you deserved better. not only do you patch everyone up with your veterinary knowledge, but i have seen your unrequited love. it did not go unobserved. you would have been a great partner, you're unimpressed by everything and drink your soy milk with chilling apathy. i'm real sorry the theatre gay didn't love you back. you're too similar i guess.

back to lin qiushi who has the worst case of main character energy since harry freaking potter. somehow the game is about him??? he has trauma??? none of this was in the novel and i'm just pretending it's not happening until it becomes impossible to ignore. in the meantime he continues to sympathize with door ghosts because he's just that nice of a guy. (EXCEPTION: nanzhu literally murdered two competitors bc they threatened his darling, and lin qiushi helped him cover it up. i was appalled for like 5 minutes then i shrugged. it's a cutthroat game, the doors change people. also it's like captain mal used to say: if someone tries to kill you, you kill 'em right back.) i have big Theories about what is fixing to happen but for now i will end by relating that lin qiushi has gone into a door alone, because he wants to butch up and be a better partner for ruan nanzhu. and that would be a great idea and super helpful except that nanzhu IMMEDIATELY WENT OUT OF HIS MIND WITH BLIND TERROR. outwardly of course he gives no signs of this (other than hiring someone to protect his fragile boyfriend, which, if lingling figures this out, ruan nanzhu will be sleeping on the sofa forever).

here he is pushing food around his plate miserably at lingling's funeral pre-solo-door party. everyone is having such a fun time.

and here he is standing in front of the door waiting like a dumb wounded animal. i have a feeling if lin qiushi doesn't emerge at 15 minutes on the dot, nanzhu will simply expire on the spot, like a wolf separated from its mate. maybe that's the end of the spirealm JUST KIDDING, we still haven't gotten to the part where they're on either side of a different door wailing at each other. i really need lin qiushi to stop being such a cheery equanimous little frat boy and START SUFFERING, can we get some mutual pining up in this bitch. (also i need his hair to change in the traditional BL post-wedding hairstyle alteration because i can't remember at this point if huang junjie even HAS a forehead under that vast curtain of bangs)

to sum up, we've had a) sexy handfeeding of lychees b) tender cat fur removal from face and c) stalking your pretty boyfriend aggressively against the wall so you can…offer him a packet of disinfectant. in the novel of course nanzhu bites him and yes xia zhiguang absolutely knows that's what he's supposed to be doing here, we love to see it.

oh and also d) "i'll protect you. i'll protect you forever."

SOON: THE THRILLING CONCLUSION. IT'LL BE SO FUCKING SAD. PS unrelated to any of this but the OST SLAPS and i sing along every time now, that opening song is an unskippable cut scene of a banger

PS gonna be sad when [redacted] dies, he's a real card. and that other person dies too. and that third person. shit it's about to get messy

[pumpkinsy0]

Pony and Curly are soo stupid I love them so very much. Hc it takes them forever to actually recognize their feelings for one another cause they’ll be like “he’s just fun to mess with” or “we’re just close friends”. Like oh my GOD just KISS ALREADY. Curly yapping about Ponyboy to his siblings with every breath and then proclaiming he doesn’t like guys, he just likes hanging with Pb. Pony confusing his feelings for annoyance because Curly IS an annoying fucker. “God he is so annoying; I can’t get him out of my head”. They’ll do dumb stuff like learn the other’s favorite food or drink and then deny it like their life depended on it if questioned

Anyways hiiii do you remember that post you made a while back with Spider-Man PaperCut hcs,,, do you perhaps have any more to spare,,,,,

i DO remember that post and i DO have more hcs to spare

•curly does have spidey senses and he uses them to his advantage during fights, but if hes play fighting w pony sometimes he’ll b nice and wont rlly react in time to level out the playing field and give pony a chance

•his spidey senses also makes curly pretty good at gambling and he wouldnt tell ANYONE this, everyone just thinks hes regularly cheating which ig isnt too wrong, they just cant prove it, pony REFUSES to play any card games w the bastard

•do yall think he purposely stuck his and ponys hands together,,why not their whole bodys together actually

•once he decided to b an extra creep and crawl on the walls of ponys room after getting in through the window to sneak in and ponys never felt such fear as he has in that one moment before, all he saw was a blob

•apologies to all the “curlys shorter than pony” luvrs out there, bc of that spider bite, curly actually had a growth spurt and is taller than pony here and hes so annoying about it

•im pretty sure spidermans blood just always flows in one direction no matter what, and thats y he can stay upside down for so long, and i promise u, curly us juat always upside down, hes jump scared pony so many times by just dropping down, but even when talking hes just,,,,upside down at times, usually on the monkey bars in a playground

•he really only needs a few hours of sleep, so when ponys just cannot sleep, curlys up w him trying to get him to lose his energy, if ponys sleeping he just,,,,watches

•which is a lil scary cause if the moon reflects just right and ponys up, curlys eyes can shine and jesus fucking christ does that wake u up😭

•hes really good at gymnastics now and pretty flexible, AND he can self heal, which is great for him bc the main reason y pony didnt teach him flips n stuff was bc he was scared curly would just bust his ass, and hes not wrong, but now he can do flips AND more and heal pretty quickly, be teases pony about being better

•IMMMM giving curly retractable stingers and yes, he DOES use them in fights but most importantly he uses them to poke pony w in the middle of class to see him jump

I'm not really good with explaining myself (also English isn't my first language) but I saw someone else's post about it this week and their take when they first read the book was that Peeta used the "star crossed lovers" purely as a strategy in the beginning (the op of that post recognizes that they were wrong in that regard but it's such a good post! I could link it for you if you're interested?)

Anyways, they made the point that it started feeling real in the cave when Katniss is trying to get them food and she goes and says that Haymitch didn't want her to talk about certain topics. And then they kiss and Katniss feels something stirring inside

And I thought it was such!! An interesting view!!

Because like the op of that post and you just said: it would make sense for Peeta to feel a little betrayed at the end of the first book. Because even though it started as a strategy on his/their part, he fell and thought she was falling, too.

Which makes sense if we look at Katniss wording on that scene and the general opinion that she can't act out of the two of them. Of course he would think she was falling, after all he did.

I don’t know if I'm making any sense

I'll try to find the post I'm referencing tho!! They were way better at explaining than I could ever be lol

posting your follow up too!!

Found the post, if you're interested! https://www.tumblr.com/devildogdemon/750318145002192896/bracing-myself-for-committing-potential-everlark?source=share

yes i'm inclined to agree that it's the post-feast kiss!! i think it's the feast scene too -- @mollywog left an AWESOME reblog on my original post with some highlights for that exact same scene pointing to it as the moment when things become "real" for peeta. and i think, no matter how much we think peeta's crush is real or played up or whatever else, i agree that scene is significant as the moment where it becomes "real" for peeta. because she's willing to do something irrational for his sake.

and it's interesting too that that's ALSO the scene where it becomes "real" for katniss!! "it's him" she says -- she doesn't want to lose HIM. and then of course that famous "stirring" kiss

and interestingly we can also draw a connection to their beach kiss in catching fire -- another moment where the "reality" of losing peeta hits katniss in full force and she realizes she can't really deal with that. "i do, i need you" is kind of the grown up version of that "it's him" line -- they're both moments when she recognizes for herself that she isn't just doing this to survive, or because he happens to be there with her, but because she genuinely cares about HIM, as a PERSON, as an INDIVIDUAL.

@mollywog also pointed out that one of peeta's biggest pet peeves (seems like a weak word to describe it but go with it) is being called stupid or having it be implied that he doesn't "get" something. and yes it's a brilliant connection that it is the one line we get from his mother: where she calls him stupid. and whenever he gets mad at katniss and/or haymitch in the books, it's usually for implying that he's dumb or for keeping secrets from him. like when katniss says he doesn't "get" the concept of owing someone something and he's like um wtf. (that scene always makes me laugh bc she's like no peeta you don't get it, i owe you for saving my life, and he's like ok right... so the thing that you... also just did for me. but back to the topic at hand) and that moment at the end of the first book ties both those things together: not only does she imply that he misread her actions as genuine when she was faking them, she also says that haymitch kept the danger of their situation a secret from him -- and i think that hurts him too!

so i guess the answer is kind of what i was pointing to in my original post. that is, like, peeta is right! katniss IS genuinely falling for him, and he, correctly, picks up on that! it's not peeta's misreading of the situation, it's katniss' defense mechanisms that are the root of the issue. peeta knew when things became real; he's hurt that katniss is still denying it.

i guess it's just interesting because i feel like on a first read, it seems like peeta is just sad that katniss was faking their romance the whole time. but the more you dive into it, i think what he's actually sad about is that he thinks he misread the moment when things changed for her as just being part of the act. but the beauty of that is that like, he didn't! he was actually totally correct.

and katniss knows it too -- she talks about that kiss regularly. it also kind of ties into that quote from catching fire where she's talking about the fake pregnancy and she says "it could be true" but her logic isn't like "if this wasn't fake," her logic is "if i hadn't spent years building up my walls." so she kind of admits it as well -- that it's more so that SHE'S too scared to let it be real, and that SHE'S the one deluding herself -- not him! (i wonder on what level he recognizes that too! like, i definitely think he's hurt by her implication that he misread their whole dynamic. but i also wonder if there's a side of him that's also hurt that she won't let go of her defense mechanisms for his sake. because a part of him must still be thinking there's no way i misread ALL of that. why won't she just admit it too?)

ugh. so interesting to think about. he's so complex! it's easy to reduce peeta to just like -- king of my heart best boy ever the blueprint book boyfriend -- but he's actually a really interesting and nuanced character and his traits all make sense when you put them together in context of his background and his relationships. so good!!

Soooo, long time no see. Anyway I'm going to Disney and was wondering if you have any head cannons of the gang there. Like what their favorite rides would be.

I'll go first. My favorite ride is the haunted mansion.

First things first, Snotlout would probably be terrified, and hide it incredibly badly. Clinging into Astrid or Fishlegs.

Hiccup is probably interested in how the ride itself works, "there's a lot of cool stuff, how does it work"

Fishlegs isn't as scared as Snotlout, but there's definitely fear there, just barely kept at bay by his curiosity much like hiccup.

Astrid couldn't care less, but enjoys the ride. She likes the killer bride part.

The twins enjoy the ride too, but much more, and much more chaotically of course. Probably relate a lot to the guy sitting on TNT in the stretching painting room, and look to Snotlout to recreate it with them. (He just flips them off)

This is the picture I mean btw.

I'm literally so sorry that I'm getting to this so long after you actually went and it's like not crazy relevant anymore omg I got real busy for a bit there but I am here now lol

Okay, so I've been to Disney maybe twice forEVER ago, and I don't really know the rides all that well so this is gonna be more of a list of vague theme park/disney headcanons than exactly what rides they would like

Snotlout and the twins are SO excited to go like they are dragging Hiccup, Astrid and Fishlegs behind them

Hiccup and Astrid get Mickey and Minnie ears and it's very cute

The twins obviously love the roller coasters and stuff the faster the better

They go on the teacups and the twins are in one w Snotlout and they spin it around so fast that he throws up

While the rest of the gang goes on rollercoasters, Fishlegs is the one who waits for them and holds their bags

Fishlegs also constantly remind people to drink water and reapply sunblock and stuff

Snotlout complains about the slow rides and stuff but he's also terrified on the roller coasters (he screams the whole time) there's just really no pleasing him

They cannot for the LIFE of them pick a ride, the twins want to ride EVERYTHING, whatever's closest or fastest, Fishlegs planned the whole day in advance and his plans went out the window immediately, Snotlout and Astrid never want the same thing and bicker about everything and Hiccup is just trying to survive the day lol

Fishlegs is so excitable the whole time bc he loves Disney movies

He wants to get as many character signatures as possible

The twins keep trying to bribe people for their positions in line lol

Astrid also really likes the roller coasters

All of the pictures that they get from being on the roller coasters she looks totally cool like she's just sitting there or wtv

The twins are always making dumb faces or doing something stupid in the pictures (but they don't know when to expect them so they just do stupid stuff the entire time)

Snotlout and Fishlegs look like they're about to cry

Hiccup is having just so much fun he likes that it feels like he's flying

They all wanna try everything but obviously, that's a lot of food so they get one of everything and share it between all 6 of them and it leads to a lot of bickering

Fishlegs insist they take pictures in front of the castles and stuff

Fishlegs actually takes a lot of pictures throughout the day

Astrid hates waiting in line hates it so most of the rides she suggests are just whatever has the shortest wait time

Any of the rides like the like competitive shooting things ones?? idk what they're called, or if there are more than the toy story one which is the only one I remember or if that one is still there or wtv but any of those Astrid KILLS it there's just no competition

The twins are very good at those too

That’s what I’ve got for now I’m so sorry this is so late lol

[fruitless-vain]

Such a weird outing, we went to Michaels which was a first for both of us, stores are still doing Black Friday sales but it’s midday on a Wednesday so yknow not a lot of people are at stores at that time. Still pretty busy though but not too bad

She nailed walking through the doorway and not sniffing the carpet, we did some back and forths along the exterior to get the store smells before entering and that seemed to help her a lot. She took about 30 seconds to just observe the environment and scent the air then clicked right in to work mode. The store was dead quiet which meant that every product falling, machine beeping, and cart clattering was random and startling- after the first two random sounds she realized it was normal and didn’t have any further issues/ losing focus due to clattering sudden sounds.

She was more unfocused than usual today, needed me to cue some leave it’s, pause walking to have her fix her position, and actually cue focus a couple of times. Each time I cued she immediately responded and adjusted as needed so I’m really happy about that, she was just very interested in the environment today. She was seeming a bit exciteable and like she had some pent up energy when we got started to I believe that’s what was making this so hard for her.

The bane of my existence today was a single red floor pom pom, food on the floor? Not an issue. People calling to her? Not an issue. Scented products and potpourris? Easy peasy. A single pom pom on the floor? WHAT IS THAT I GO SEE IT?????

She did great ignoring people, even the one who just reached down to greet her for no apparent reason. But this ONE person she really struggled with????? They were minding their own business and she just had such a hard time disengaging and ignoring them idk what it was with this person but man it was HARD for her.

They were restocking so she got some good practice ignoring things on the floor and in her walkway, sniffed one box then realized what the goal was and ignored the rest, plus got some practice for squeezing in tight spaces when we both can’t fit.

She held some downs while I looked for stuff really well, no issues with things crinkling above her head or me stepping a few steps away (I don’t like going further than that personally, people do dumb shit).

She successfully alerted to a 150hr which I ended up catching on camera (above) and then I did have to sit down while she did some DPT, she did all of that flawlessly.

Finished off with her holding a down while I did the self checkout which I’m super proud of her for bc it was busy, people were zooming by closely, and the worker monitoring the zone would pop by to gather peoples baskets so they popped right next to Yo to ask to take ours and Yoshi maintained her position well unfazed/ uninterested in the person. A little bit of her drifting forwards towards the exit which is a big area we’re working on but she is showing a lot of improvement there.

Just a weird day with a lot of things I wish were better but also? She literally did her job despite being pretty effin distracted today? So I don’t know how mad I can really be about that 😂

Also honestly wondering if maybe she wasn’t That Bad it’s just that my anxiety was high in a new place and PA is new for us so Imposter Syndrome. Realistically it wasn’t that bad I just know it can be better so yknow, we’ll work on making it better and figuring out what went wrong today.

(But also look how stress free and happy n peppy she looks! Love a joyous working lil lady)

[justaboymadeofhoneyandglass]

OKAY SO IM GOING WITH BULLET POINTS BC LISTS>>>>

Having textures that made me scratch myself to get rid of the feeling— like past Raine, GIRLIE, it's not normal 😭😭 I mean she new that but she thought they were just WEIRD 😭 and the textures of food that made me gag and wanna puke, like .... YES TEXTURE IS SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN TASTE IN FOOD

Not being able to read social cues— I thought I was just dumb low-key 💀 like it happened but I didn't comprehend that it happened until now yk? like it would happen and I would have no clue what was wrong and not have any clue what happened

SPECIAL INTERESTS�� OMG I had no clue, bc like what happened is that FOR YEARS, these were basically my only hobbies/likes(reading, writing, anime and webtoons, vampires, and sloths) AND ITS NEVER FUCKING CHANGED and I didn't realize that until my friend pointed out that I didn't like anything else and I was like :0

Having strict routines/places for stuff— this was a hard one to figure out cause it was mixed with the adhd, which made it hard to keep a routine and things in one place, but the main ones that survived were my bed routine(my blankets have to be in a specific order and I have to have the same stuffed animal, and etc

Stimming— once again I just thought I was weird, like people have told me to stop moving sm, or to stop walking like that(aka while moving/flailing my hands and arms) saying I look slow 💀

and vocal stimming too— fun fact, one of my stims is every time my doorbell rings, I say "ding dong" right after I hear it LOL, I also make lots of clicks with my tongue and stuff

empathy(like low empathy)— I had a HARD time with empathy as a child, like not super super hard, but it was hard for me to feel bad for others, like sad movies didn't phase me in the slightest(like I knew objectively they were sad but they would never make me sad), even when a family member died when I was younger, I didn't cry (still haven't) and like I just didn't understand why(it's sometimes still hard for me now but idk it's gotten better over the years)

and there's probably more I'm not remembering LMAO but yeah I was just always told I was weird for these things but I didn't suspect I was nd 😭

YESSS OMG SO SO MANY OF THESE ARE SO MEEE

[stylesloveclub]

ok first this i funny bc i think the last ask i js put in was not as an anon which is fine bc it's really not that deep but i signed it as my anon name (which i adore btw tysm for that) and i js think that's quite silly

ANYWHORE....

so as we all know midterms are a terrible rotten creation and the person who made them deserves to burn in hell (maybe that's a stretch but they certainly get zero brownie points from me 😠) and ofc you absolutely feel that way when you're studying for them. and YES okay, you studied bc failing bc you didn't study and failing bc you don't understand the material are two very different things. the minute you find out you're absolutely CRUSHED bc you work sooooo hard in this class and are always studying and doing what's required of you but it just doesn't make a single ounce of fucking sense in your brain. so you trek back to your place all mopey and sad and on top of that you have work tonight, and don't get it twisted you love your job (otherwise you wouldn't have met harry) but all you want to do rn is curl up in a ball and shovel loads of junk food in your fat gob and wallow in the feelings of pity and being a failure :(((((((. but you can't bc for whatever reason the government says you're legally and big girl and have to take care of yourself (fuck that) so you put on your little uniform and walk the few blocks it takes to get to Pleasing. ppl can tell you're sad and just not your regular chipper self when you come in, but they also know it's best to leave you be in these situations bc you're bound to start SOBBING if someone asks what's wrong and as much as your coworkers love and care for you they cannot afford to be down a staff member so you crying is not any option 💀💀. so you're going through your shift and it's honestly better than you thought it would be bc it's keeping your mind off your grade and how bad it is and your friends and making you laugh, but then the snob of the night just has to come in and ruin the whole mood. you already know you won't like serving him the minute he opens his mouth, all "listen honey..." and you tune out the rest of his words until he finally orders. his date looks bloody miserable, and you wish you could tell her to run for the hills, but at least she's getting a free meal from a five-star restaurant. so yada yada yada things are going relatively fine with the customer until *uh oh* his pasta got messed up. he asked for his cilantro on the side and it, unfortunately for you, came with none at all. you're on the verge of apologizing when he starts chewing you out "what the fuck is your issue? are you really that dense? i get you're just some dumb waitress but you have to have at least half a brain to work at a place like this...." he's so unbelievably rude, causing a scene and grabbing the other customers attention, making them stare as he just yells and yells and yells :(((((. eventually, one of your coworkers, jenny let's say, comes over with the cilantro and slams it on the table and "we're sorry for the inconvenience sir, please enjoy your meal" he doesn't thank them or apologize to you (though his date does which is unnecessary but appreciated) and jenny ushers you away and is all "go see harry hun, it's fine" bc she's one of your closer friends from work and knows more about your relationship with harry than the others. so you run over to his office with a short nod of thanks to her and you don't even bother knocking before you push the door open. and harry's about to scold you until he sees you're crying (which you hadn't realized until just then) and he's pushing away from his desk and rushing to you and "puppy? what's wrong, my sweet girl?" :(((( and so you run down the whole day, from your failed midterm to the shitty customer just a few minutes ago, crying and blubbering into his pristinely pressed shirt. you don't notice that he makes a short call during your rant to get the customer who yelled at you kicked out, but it doesn't matter bc it's short and his full attention is back on you in no time. "baby, m'sorry, so so sorry about your midterm and the mean customers" :(((((( and he wipes your tears away until your cries have settled down to soft hiccups and "c'mon puppy, we're ending the night early"

AND THIS IS TOO LONG HOLD ON

[justsomeoneintoomanyfandoms]

Can I have a match up for BSD, JJK, and AOT (preferably adult characters of any gender. Im a leo sun, Aries rising, and cancer moon. I’m an INFP and a certified good girl lmao. What I mean by that is I’m very sweet and kind and I don’t like to get into trouble. However, I do having a kind of teasing side and I can get really loud and funny. Outwardly, I’m delicate and gentle but, like a reverse sour patch kid, I get cheeky and will tease you. I’m smart and am very good at art and most generally subject within the arts. I’m good with kids and kind of need constant attention or I’ll get sad. I yearn for princess treatment and am very generous with my patience and love. I am really good at understanding others and am great at listening to them and making them feel heard. I love people and prefer to be around people but sometimes, when I’m very sad- which happens often- I turn into a recluse so I need help coming out of my cave. I want to be held and touched constantly. I don’t know if I’d admit this out loud but I kind of like aggress people, like I obviously need treated gently, but I don’t mind being shook around and I really like being teased idk why. I also need someone who might make the for at move but that isn’t always a requirement. I can be painfully shy or dense about love. I ADORE cute things so much like a whole lot. I love the color pink and sweets. Sanrio and other brands like that are a gift from god. My fave Sanrio is Usahana. She’s so cute and I also like Hongyudon. My fave ice cream is cheesecake flavored. I love making cheese trays or charcuterie boards for my friends bc I just like feeding people. My fave animals are rabbits, bats, ferrets, and jellyfish. Btw the way I’m very neurodivergent liek I’m AUT/ADHD. I like watching stimboard videos, horror, anime, stage plays, sketchbook tours, and unfortunately I really love loud, random humor I’m so sorry.

Hi Anon! Thank you for your request! I hope you like your matchups!

In Bungo Stray Dogs, I match you with...

If you’re looking for someone to tease you, Dazai is the perfect person for you. He’s just the right balance of teasing and genuine. He can also take teasing so there’s an almost constant stream of banter between the two of you.

Really good with treating you the way you want to be treated. Sometimes he might need you to tell him what annoys you but he won’t infantilize you or treat you like you’re dumb.

He’s also really good with physical affection, always picking up on when you want a hug or want to hold his hand. He likes the contact as well.

Knows all the best cafes around where you can get sweets and cheesecake ice cream. Chances are high he’s also got some of your favourite snacks stashed away for emergencies.

Thinks you’re intriguing for liking such different things as cute stuff and horror movies but that only makes him more interested in you as a person.

In Jujutsu Kaisen, I match you with...

If there’s anyone who could rival Dazai in terms of teasing, Gojo is the one. He’s a bit more ruthless in his teasing than Dazai but still has his moments of sincerity.

Much like Dazai, Gojo won’t treat you as if you’re dumb or a child. He knows better than anyone the intelligence and sass you hold and he loves that about you.

I see Gojo as someone who has a sweet tooth as well so he’d love to go on food dates where you try out a bunch of places neither of you have been to. He’s certainly got the money to spend.

Would love making charcuterie boards with you. He’s got a good eye for placement and putting things together for the best combinations so it’s always a good time. Plus you get to eat all of the amazing food after, so it’s a win-win.

You are united in your dislike of Toji Fushiguro. Gojo thinks it’s destiny that you hate the same person and will use it as a reason as to why the universe brought you two together.

In Attack on Titan, I match you with...

Hange is probably the least teasing person on this list. But that certainly doesn’t mean she won’t tease you when she feels like it.

I don’t think she’s capable of talking to anyone as if they’re dumb. She just assumes people will know what she’s talking about, even if she’s using the most complex scientific terms.

In a modern au, Hange would absolutely be into watching stimboard videos. That is so up her alley, it isn’t funny. She’ll ask for recommendations occasionally and gets to know your preferences so she can recommend videos for you to watch as well.

Amazing with giving you attention and physical affection. She loves receiving both of those as well so if you return the favourite it’s a win-win.

Would love going to zoos and aquariums with you. Hange’s definitely an animal lover so the fact that you like so many different animals as well is great. She’ll be spouting off facts the entire time though, so be prepared.

Okay Keelah, in your professional opinion, what pokemon are okay answers in the least favorite popular pokemon poll/you will not die for? (I voted pikachu and stand by my dragonite loving friends, but I might be canceled for evil crimes with my vote.)

youve awoken the beast kylea. also to preface this i dont give a fuck about competitive viability this is mostly just on their design and character, and a little bit abt their use in single-player

but youre in your right to vote pikachu, i considered it but voting for pikachu kind of felt like voting for saltine crackers in a "worst foods" poll bc like. yeah theyre nothing great but actively hating them seems like a waste of energy to me personally yknow

charizard is a fair enough choice to vote for given how much its popularity has been milked over recent gens so i wont bemoan anyone's vote toward it. but i personally find it hard to hate charizard on its own merit bc overall its still pretty dang solid

greninja i think is more than fair to vote for. its a very good pokemon to use in-game but it falls dangerously into the "designed to sell action figures to 11 year old boys" category of "cool" so it loops back around to being kinda lame to me. that being said i dont hate greninja theres just better options for me

lucario is the objectively correct option to vote for. i like it just fine, and i won't complain about its furrybait design (<- incineroar stan), but like cmon. its the lamest one here and we all know it and we know it. they tried to replace mewtwo with it in smash and ill never forgive that

if you voted gengar its because youre an obnoxious contrarian. i get being tired of its popularity but its popular for a reason. literally nothing to complain about on its own merit. hes purple and fat and i love him

garchomp is what i voted for personally just bc ive never really gotten the hype around it. people love to tout cynthia's garchomp as a mark of their traumatic childhood experiences with pokemon but i personally was more scarred by her spiritomb when i was a kid bc i literally thought my game was glitched when i first looked at that thing LOL. its design is fine but again feels real 11 year old boy action figure to me which i dont personally care for

i liked eevee way more before they started marketing it as the counterpart to pikachu. i despise the fucking Noises it makes in lets go eevee and onward. the eeveelutions, ive said before, are the disney princesses of pokemon in how oversaturated they are. but eevee itself isnt to blame for any of that so it felt unfair to vote for it

dragonite is perfect. theres nothing to hate. hes fat and hes orange. if you rubbed his bald head it would sound like youre squeaking a balloon. my boy lance had three of them and THAT was real traumatizing childhood experience. he delivers the mail. if you hate dragonite you'll die by my blade. and if anyone says any dumb bullshit abt how dratini/dragonair "deserved better" then theyre going to kill you too. thats their dad

gardevoir is also an objectively correct choice to vote for but people didnt vote for it bc they want to fuck it. which like fine you do you

and finally why the fuck is snorlax on this list. is snorlax that popular. like on par with fucking Lucario and Gardevoir popular. i really dont think it is i think op just had a secret snorlax bias which, as stated for dragonite, sickens me to my core. literally sincerely nothing to hate abt snorlax. "oh but he blocked the path" yeah and? he was sleepy. get over it

General Hcs

Aki, Power & Denji are each others found family

Aki is the older brother/parental figure

Power & Denji are siblings

Neurotypical characters? Not here

The trio likes to make merch of Pochita and Meowy and pretend that there's a rivalry between the two

None of them really feel like anything ( regards to gender ) but they just go with the flow and work with what they have and kinda just think about it occasionally at night while laying in bed

They def have dreams of them being the opposite sex or some extravagant alienated version of themselves that aren't restricted to human bodies

They all think they're the only ones experiencing it so they don't know they're not alone until years later

Adhd, mild autism & ptsd

Will actually play with his food while eating it but not in the "constantly moves food around with his fork" type the "will literally use his hands to make food monsters and fling food at people" type

Likes arts & crafts but won't admit it

Gives Aki & Power handmade gifts for holidays + birthdays but says he bought them

Calling people names ( loser, dumbass, idiot etc. ) And handshakes are his love languages

A/N: First and foremost please lmk if any of the sites I used for sexuality definitions are not credible or do not have the communitys best interest at heart as most of the labels I do not identify as and some of the sites I'm not familiar with !

Secondly, if you don't like or agree with my headcanons that's fine just don't be rude or keep it to yourself and feel free to share your headcanons ! :D

{Am I projecting onto these characters? Yes. Am I going to do it again? Also yes}

Lastly, If you, for whatever reason, want to know my takes on other characters feel free to request or comment and I'll make another post !

I will also probably be doing at least 1 more csm headcanons post later into the series. I'm mainly waiting until I find more characters I really like later on and/or there's more appearances of ones I currently find interesting.

[whydoyouwannaknowmyusername]

THIS is how im getting back on track

i got off track the last few weeks and i regained. the WORST punishment ever is no fitting into my fav jeans, that i bought already a tad too small, for motivation. just like half of my other bottoms, they'll fit but not as they used to, def not pretty. not getting to wear my usual clothes has rlly got me so insecure & miserable, i'm glad i'm the right headspace to fucking lose again.

ꕤ eat breakfast as normal, 5am, get my energy. do NOT eat it after 5am, that goes for weekends.

ꕤ don't snack at uni, that makes for a 8h fast. attack some gum, drink water.

ꕤ eat lunch at 1pm, have a small sweet, like 10g or less (i have a fav, its perfect).

ꕤ eat a fruit by 2pm, which is a time when i'm usually hungry for no reason but it's better to control it earlier than at night. NO carbs.

ꕤ fast till breakfast again, that should be agout a 15h fast. drink loads of water, DO WORK, practice yoga & pilates, take my vitamins, don't forget the iron specially around my period.

this is no 400cal a day diet ok, it's my way of remaining alive & actually healthy (acc to my doctors), maintaing a weight i already know i'm comfortable at, keeping up my energy and my youth bc honeslty i have too much shit to get done, i don't have time to be lethargic.

✩ keep out of the kitchen/living room at nighttime, since i know my tendencies to binge while watching something on tv. watch it in my bedroom.

✩ don't comment about food around my mom, don't give her any ideas of putting up an occasion in which my refusal to eat is a war declaration. for myself, avoid food content, baking videos, recepies, mealsp0, it makes me hungry.

✯¸.•´*¨`*•✿ ✿•*`¨*`•.¸✯

if i remember any others i'll update it bc it's more for me than for other ppl. and a reminder: if your're still a teen, if you're fucking 14 or smt, please understand your body is literally not developed and if you have any plans on being alive for the next decades you shouldn't stunt its growth by depleating it of nutrients. go. fucking. exercise. like crazy. it'll also help your growth, metabolism and overall health for years to come cz the benefits last a lifetime. so yeah dont be dumb.

thats it girlies, bybye

xoxo, s.

[devinescribe]

Añright imma go cry about it

Its for this request, im sorry my tumblr is jeing dumb

Of course bb

Warnings: Cursing? I think? Also slightly NSFW

This also has lots of pre-borderlands domestic fluff👍 bc why not.

It wasn't often you and your boyfriend, well, now fiancé were able to be home together. With work and family and friends.

It could be quite the handful.

But tonight was a Friday. A Friday you were both free.

Before a long weekend.

You had just gotten out of the shower when you heard keys jingling.

"Darling, I'm home!"

"I just got out of the shower, I'll be out in a minute!" You shouted back, quickly drying off and changing to your pajamas.

He knocked on the door, and you opened it. He had a tired smile on his face, and a singular rose in his hand. He offered it to you, to which you took it immediately.

You smiled, hugging him tightly. "I've missed you," he mumbled. You sighed, "I have too. "

He was always so sweet to you. He brought home flowers for you at random. Sometimes a singular flower, and sometimes a bouquet. How you loved either, as it meant he was thinking of you on his way home.

"How was work dearest?" He asked, placing a kiss to your temple, letting you go from the hug. "Oh you know. The usual. God that manger thinks she's better than everyone." you groaned, "How was your day?"

He laughed. "Fair enough. My day was fine. Anxiously waiting to come to you, my darling wife," he said. You giggled. "Fiancée. Not your wife yet," you reminded. His face broke out in a smile. "I wish you were my wife already," he muttered. "Patience Enji, patience."

"Alright, well, you go get comfy while I shower yeah?" He said. You nodded, pressing a quick kiss to his cheek.

You left, grabbing some blankets, throwing them on the couch. Then you grabbed the vase full of flowers, some dead, some alive. You picked out the ones that were dying, and placed your newest addition in the vase with a smile. The dry ones could be used for ink, tea, or rose water or oil.

You put on some background noise TV show, and scrolled through you phone.

You heard the water from the shower stop, and knew your lover would be out any minute.

He came up behind you, and kissed your cheek.

"Hey, do you wanna just order something? Don't feel like cooking," you suggested. He nodded. "That sounds fine baby. You pick whatever you want," he said, sitting besides you. You nodded. "Sushi?" You suggested. "Sure sounds good love. You know me better than I know myself most days," he mumbled. You smiled and got to ordering the food. Once you were done, you laid back on the couch, giggling and throwing your feet onto his lap. He looked over to you, and pulled you by your legs. You screamed, laughing at his childish nature. He pulled you into his lap and smiled at you.

"You're... so gorgeous. I'm so glad your mine," he mumbled, grabbing your left hand, placing a kiss on your knuckles. You caught him staring at the ring he had given you a month prior. You smiled, leaning in and kissing his cheek. He smiled, placing a soft hand on your cheek as he caressed your face.

"I feel so loved with you," he mumbled, you leaned your forehead on his. "And you make me feel so loved. Like I'm the only girl in the world, the only girl that exsists," you mumbled. He closed the gap, connecting your lips with his.

It wasn't long before your back was pressed down to the couch with him on top of you, kissing you like the world would end tomorrow.

His tongue danced with yours, but he was obviously winning. You pulled away, a string of siliva connecting both of you. A heavy blush covered his face, both of you panting heavily. He smiled, and he moved down to your neck. At first he left soft kisses that turned to soft bites. You knew it would leave marks behind but you didn't care.

Your hands tangled in his hair, and he moaned softly at the feeling.

Then the door bell rang.

He groaned.

"It's probably the food, I'll get it," you said as he sat up, and off of you. You stood up, and he said, "Maybe I should get it. You look like a mess right now."

"Honey, I dont think the poor delivery person needs to see your.. ahem.. problem, " you teased. He turned bright red as you grabbed one of his hoodies throwing it over you. "At least I can cover these hickeys," you giggled.

You went to go get the food, thanking the person, before going back to the living room.

"You know, I can't wait for our honeymoon," he mentioned as you set everything on the coffee table.

"Oh? You couldn't wait for me to be your wife, and now you just skip straight to the honeymoon?"

"Yeah.... yeah. I can't wait for a lot of things. I'm impatient."

"You're such a child," you giggled, as you sat on the floor next to him. He laughed. "Maybe. But you can't lie, you can't wait to be alone with me for a full two weeks, no interruptions," he hummed. "Yeah... no interruptions. Speaking of which-"

"Yeah yeah, we will definitely continue that later. For now, let's eat and enjoy the rest of out night dearest."

Life with him was blissful.

Yay! Another request down!

But like 20 more to go-

If your request doesn't get out within 2 days of requesting and you're upset about it... please remember that I am not only writing yours, but others as well. I try to get these out in the order they were requested in.

You and @notajoinerofthings are my number one Drei Fragezeichen source. So one is for you. I hope you have fun! We all have done the best and worst ddf episodes. So lets get a bit more specific: episodes for long travels, guilty pleasures, holiday favs, over the top episodes, ridiculous episodes, cringeworthy but entertaining, cozy mystery mood, darkest episodes, strong bromance vibes, best villain (can be more than one), fucked with your head, best plot, best ending and/or beginning, scariest episodes and whatever other category you might wanna add. :)

Ohh, anon, I did have a lot of fun with this indeed, thank you! I doubt you or anyone reading this will tho, bc I always give the same answers. I tried breaking out of my pattern a bit, but wasn't every successful. We covered a lot of silly episode discussions, true, incl. favorite MaSo episodes and best atmospheric ones. Gonna say Thank You for this honor, also on behalf of @notajoinerofthings even though we cab probably both agree that we don't deserve it, bc our involvment with DDF sure has seen better days. (I did listen to the newest release tho, whatsitcalled, und die Gesetzlosen. Because they baited me with a horse on the cover. Fell asleep to it twice and woke up to Bob monologuing each time. Was then told that they cut the part where they explain what the horse is all about. Thx for nothing, Europa.)

episodes for long travels: Gonna start by being a disappointment right away bc when I want travel and holiday episodes, I turn to TKKG!! But DDF does road trips fairly well. So how about und der unsichtbare Gegner & Straße des Grauens. Toteninsel, too, for the real adventure kick. Feuerturm & Geister-Canyon bc I love when they drive up to one of the national parks. guilty pleasures: I don't have guilty pleasures, only Big Pleasures!! If we go by what's often perceived as guilty pleasure by others tho, it'd probably be the entirety of the Crime Busters for me. And Mann ohne Kopf!! holiday favs: Same problem. It's tough when these kids barely experience any seasonal weather bc they never leave California. It's even tougher when you don't like their Christmas special episodes (which I def don't). So you know my answer: as soon as December comes round, I'll start listening to Pistenteufel & Geisterstadt on loop for four to twelve weeks (I wish I was kidding....). If you want even more snow, throw in Tödliches Eis bc I remember that one being decent as well. over the top episodes: Aren't they all LMAO That's the entry level requirement for being a DDF episode! Might pick Comic-Diebe bc it pokes a lot of fun at artists and fans, in a way that hits too close to home at times, but it does so with love!

ridiculous episodes: Die Karten des Bösen!! I don't care that it's a pretend case to distract our three heroes. Minninger went full out with e v e r y t h i n g and it's a complete overload: Tarot. Crazy old cat lady. Mad scientist. Murdered cat. Cryonics and resurrection of the (human) body. Alleged death of a client. DIE VERDAMMTEN ATOMSTROMGEGNER!! What even IS any of this?!? Hexen-Handy is as campy as it gets. Also Im Bann des Voodoo bc can you believe there was a time when Minninger wrote both a book and a script FOR A KIDS BOOK SERIES that featured a band called Wet Boys and a producer named Al Parker, which are both constantly mentioned throughout the episode, and they just... let him fsjdkjfkgklfg. cringeworthy but entertaining: Fußball-Gangster & Verdeckte Fouls!!! Actually, I don't think the former is bad at all, on the contrary, it's BJHW proving once again that she is a prophet, exploring topics and issues which couldn't be more pressing in the year 2023. It's just that Justus' cousin (Jimboy-Jonas wtf?!??) is very cringe and so is the sequence where the boys get distracted by this self-heating food packaging (I love it but it's so freaking dumb lmao). Verdeckte Fouls is especially cringe bc the main guest actor is... not a voice actor at all. And bc of all the cringy shit they do with the football club and player names. (once again: I LOVE it!!! But it is very silly.) Can't even pick that one for most ridic or over the top episode bc the whole plot of ominous sect infiltrating a sports club is based on real life happenings fsjdkdkf cozy mystery mood: Karpatenhund. Spuk im Hotel. Der tote Mönch. Die Spur des Raben. Haus des Schreckens. Das Erbe des Meisterdiebs. Das Auge des Drachen. Die Villa der Toten. Der Fluch des Drachen. Due verschwundene Seglerin. Der heimliche Hehler. I complain so much, all the time, but they have TONS of highly enjoyable episodes that do cozy mystery with just a touch of action incredibly well!!

darkest episodes: Every ep that deals with how utterly cruel humans can be to each other, out of pettiness or jealousy or fear, or bc of old resentments. Less for personal enrichment but for vengeance. Utterly fascinating to me whenever one of the writers manages to make that the core of a story. Minni and Marx in particular seem to have a knack for that, see Stimmen aus dem Nichts & Villa der Toten. I'm sure there's more but I can't think of any rn. strong bromance vibes: That's easy: Bob & Kelly! With Just & Kelly as a close second! I also believe that Kelly & Peter will remain besties all their life, even after their breakup (which will happen bc this is just a high school romance); they care about each other and are an important part of each other's life, and their friendship is gonna outlast any romantic feelings. Honestly, they all adore Kelly, and they all vibe with her. And Kelly would do anything for them, 9 out of 10 times. Just look how often she helped them out on one of their stupid cases!! (Bob & Jelena would work too, but alas, I'm a Bob/Jelena-is-endgame truther, so there's always that special spark that makes them more than besties.) (Peter & Jelena does not work bc I headcanon that while Peter likes her a lot, he's also a tiny bit scared of her.) best villain (can be more than one): I answered that here as well, and still stand by my picks. However, I would like to add the mad siblings Joseph & Rachel Hadden. It's been a while, but I remeber coming out of my last Toteninsel reread being severely disappointed that a) Marx didn't do more with them and b) we never saw them again. Their criminal energy was off the charts, in different ways, and they were both pretty unhinged. A lot of potential and a nice opportunity to let our three boys dip their toes back into corporate crime shenanigans like back in the BJHW era. They also have another Good Sister, Anne, whose moral compass may be intact but who's equally as crazy bc she sure was ready to go to whacky lengths to stop her siblings. I just want more of this very rich and extremely shady cutthorat family! fucked with your head: Wolfsgesicht! Probably one of the most clever episodes in general. The entire episode is designed to fuck with you and get under your skin (and the text itself even explains this to you). There's such an eerie quality to those letters. I always thought the psychological theory explored in this ep is somehow the equivalent to the use of modality in the fantastic (Phantastik): toying with the ways language can express various relationships to reality and truth, showcasing how your mind will always fill in the blanks and jump to some kind of (false) conclusion. I had c h i l l s the first time I listened to Bob realizing this might be about an assassination attempt. Personally, I am also lowkey fascinated by Katharina Fischer's short writing stint: she came, she served, she fucked off when she was out of ideas. Iirc the ideas for both of her stories came about while she was sitting a lecture, and ain't that the most relatable thing ever.

best plot: Idk about his more recent releases, but until his gradn re-entrance with Spur des Spielers, I don't think there's a single book by André Marx that has a shitty plot. They might not always be brilliant, but all his stories are at least decent and well-thought-through. Let's go with Feuermond bc what he accomplishes there in terms of engaging crime plot + bringing back old characters + adding more depth and emotion + picking up old storylines is ASTONISHING!! Complex, yet not convoluted. You can tell he wrote the entire camping trip as a filler bc otherwise the trilogy would've been a book short, but it doesn't even matter! As far as trilogies go, I'll always be a Toteninsel girlie, but Feuermond is as neat as it gets! best ending and/or beginning: Answered the one for best endings here already. Best beginning is a good albeit tricky one! I'm usually a fan of anything that doesn't start with the gd phone ringing (this pattern peaked with Toteninsel) or them hearing someone scream in the distance. Especially today where the exposition averages around 15 minutes, making sure you're already bored out of your mind before anything of significance has even happened. Not to be like that again, but TKKG really DOES have the better openings. Mainly bc they're not strictly confined to the pov of the three protagonist's. But also bc Wolf really was brimming with cool ideas and was always down for trying out something that reads more Adult instead of sticking to the formulaic. DDF has a few in medias res beginnings (every Europe trip ep starts that way iirc, and I love it, not knowing where they are or how tf they got there or what is going on), but they just can't compare to an opening where the patron saint of the kids gets shot while on a stakeout!! I do think the first 15 minutes of Schatz im Bergsee are the best of the entire series, but I am not particularly fond of the plane crash sequence which i s the immediate opening. So pass on that. Haus des Schreckens could be good, but it drags on and on and has lost all its momento once they get to the punchline. Gonna go with Im Bann des Vodoo (Minni combining his two fav things, horror & gay porn); Späte Rache (honestly? Peter getting capture inside his car... listen to that w/o any context and it takes on a completely different meaning... Also I'm always down for Peter & Kelly hanging out and going clubbing!); Stimmen aus dem Nichts which is a lame and common thing to say, but it IS a good one, and Minninger, for all his shortcomes, usually has very strong openings. scariest episodes: Im Bann des Voodoo for early adolescence nostalgia (even tho I talk about why that might be Problematic here.) And I vaguely recall Der verschollene Pilot being one of the newer episodes that actually did make me feel uneasy when I first listened to it (I was in the middle of a dark forest tho!! But iirc some of my girlies on here said they had a similar reaction so yeah!)
