#which is like. correct! to me! why would u know anything abt people you have to be nosy to know abt people

[b4kuch1n]

I used to feel like very Eh on Leon but your art has made him (and Sonia and Raihan tbh) some of my favorite Pokémon characters of all time, I love him/them now, so thank you for that :)

haha thank you! I'm glad to be the gateway for some folks. I really love them so fuckin much

[dylansyummyv0dk4]

I kinda feel bad abt u? I'm not sure about the age gap since it's almost bad but at the same time it isn't so i THINK it's okay.(don't attack me for this)

But no offense but you are a LITTLE corny, everyone is corny too but wtv.. anyways. how long have you been in the TCC?.. Kinda curious.

1. all respect and serious question. How am i corny? Is it for defending my partner lol? Is it the gacha? cause they use it not me. And with my actual art I am new to animations and I'm still figuring my way around stuff. Please explain how I'm corny. If it's my mental illness that's very much real and not me being corny so if you could explain that be great :)

2. 11 months isn't bad at all. I think ppl are assuming I was born in in the start the months? I was born in December which makes the gap not bad + I am never sexual or ask for explicit photos or sext them or any of that. Ive asked them to not be sexual with me either. They're also just saying bs cause my partner uses gacha. They're still learning about tcc but get called bs for supporting what I like LOL. Also I do wanna say I know laws. I know what's morally correct and incorrect as I've been a victim with a lot bad people hense why I know me and their relationship is okay cause 1 I'm a victim 2 I've done research for years.

it's consensual + 11 months gap + me and them don't want to be sexual. (IM NOT ATTACK U JUST EXPLAINING FOR ANYONE ELSE :D)

3. Well community? On and off when I was 14 kinda in it. Then came back when 17 but then left again now I'm back. But for loving true crime and not being on tumblr or other stuff much ive been into crime since I was 8 or 9. My brothers loved zombies movie or anything with gore and would talk about crime. I also used it to cope with shit going on in my life [not venting lol]. So I've always loved true crime, psychology and shit since I was very little. My first case I learned was gypsy but I got more into dahmer then gypsy. Then I learned about the slenderman killers. And it went on from there. :)

I appreciate 1 you're not anon 2 you were respectful and kind about everything. cause this drama started I think either when I posted how I didn't support that one guy for rape jokes. Or ever since they saw my partner use gacha.

Also I agree we all have our corny moments LOL.

still in utter bafflement that people thought as piasco was unfolding that oscar’s decision to go mclaren, a team that was on the upward trajectory ever since 2018, over renault works team, a known disaster class since pre-historic times, was a dumb move. wym?? people at that time did not have all the info about how alpine absolutely fumbled 2 contracts, on top of otmar controlling the narrative, throwing around words like “loyalty”, it would have still been a better decision, because it gave oscar the opportunity to prove himself against a highly rated driver like lando, instead of pierre whose record is not perfect. hell, had everything that alpine lied about around oscar was correct, meaning that say he was ghosting them after promising to drive, it still was the correct decision 😭

hmm. im not actually sure if i agree w you, because i don't think the difference between renault and mclaren was actually that cut and dry. when daniel moved from renault to mclaren in 2020 ppl called it a sideways move, and for good reason. since id say 2019 at least, mclaren and renault had been in the upper midfield and in direct competition with each other. 2022, the year of the piasco, alpine beat mclaren in the wcc (mostly bc of daniel shitting the absolute bed, but still). the length of time since theyve been successful was kind of equivalent (renault's last wdc is 2006, mclaren's is 2008), and arguably renault hadnt recently had a period of such despairing backmarker incompetence as mclaren had circa 2017 (they're having it now tho, lol. oops). so to anyone looking alpine seemed like a reliable midfielder which had been floating around 5th place in the wcc since like 2017, while mclaren had had the epic highs and lows (of high school football) and was now looking as if it had clearly gotten the new regs all wrong.

THAT SAID. alpine is run by french people. so, you know, that's an important factor to consider

at the time, before learning abt the absolute legal / bureocratic incompetence that drove oscar away, i still objectively thought oscar had made a good choice – but thats bc im a big ol mclarenhead and also biased against alpine. i didn't trust the management of otmar szafnauer or the rest of alpine's higher-ups (rightfully so lol), and i knew enough about the things mclaren were saying to believe that we'd have a change in fortune long-term after the wind tunnel was finished. still like, when 2023 came along and mclaren were clearly backmarkers if not the slowest car on the grid, in retrospect i understand the ppl who made fun of oscar for turning down alpine's offer (and in such a dramatic fashion too, lol). im obviously laughing in all of their faces currently, but yk, i get it ig

also re: proving himself against lando, i think ur accidentally forgetting which frenchie was actually in the other alpine seat LMAO he wouldve gone against ocon, not gasly (i shudder to think of the gasly-to-mclaren alternate universe dear god). i rate ocon i think he's an alright driver but ig my question is more like, why would it be in the interest of a rookie to go against what couldve been a teammate-killer*? like look at alex - his reputation was hugely damaged when he went against max, then his stock HUGELY boosted when he was paired up with latifi and sargeant. north american loserboy pay drivers are necessary to the economy of the f1 paddock bc they make everyone going against them look sooooo good lmao. if anything oscar's reputation wouldve probably benefited more from going up against a race winner like ocon (or gasly if ur suggesting mclaren wouldve tried to get ocon instead, which wouldve been difficult but marginally more rewarding for them) (and less of a nightmare for me) who he couldve possibly actually convincingly beat.

all that considered like. fundamentally oscar DID make the right choice. and not just bc mclaren is a frontrunner big 3 now and alpine has barely gotten any points this year, bc f1 is a game of chance and u never know where any team will actually end up in next year's order. so even ignoring that, oscar made the right choice bc of what he himself has said time and time again - he enjoys and appreciates being wanted. alpine kept him in the attic like that dusty broken air mattress u only bring out when u've got one too many guests for the sleepover. meanwhile, mclaren broke daniel's contract and paid like 20mil partly just so they could secure oscar's seat before anyone else snatched him up. oscar had literally already signed the mcl contract before fernando announced his shock departure. he did not believe his alpine seat was secured or even available at all - there were talks of loaning him to williams or whatever and like out of everyone THATS a team that cant escape its reputation for perpetual floppage lmao. so fundamentally mclaren was in the right to try to secure his contract and oscar was in the right for trying to get out of being the understudy of an old man who doesnt ever seem to want to stop driving.

*i dont actually think lando is a teammate killer, even if he's obviously performing substantially better than oscar up until this point. i think hes unfortunately just a ricciardo-killer lol

[liauditore]

Thought I might say hello and make some small talk, seeing that I'm camping on your trafficshipping tag and all.

Well hi! Lovely place you've got here. Fantastic art, GREAT vibes, very nice. I'm specially enjoying your character rambling; your takes on them are super interesting and they tickle my brain 👀

May I send Divorce Fource/Quartet and Majorwood for the shipping bingo? Divorce Fource were a right mess (affectionate <3) and a perfect one at that, but I can't help but wonder how the recipe would have turned out if the soul ties were Cleo-Pearl, Martyn-Scott.

Also there is so much potential in Limlife Majorwood for eroguro if you're nasty. Which I am. Time cannibalism, respawning mechanics, birthday time... blender go brrrr 👀

!!!!!!!

y'all are really enabling my habit of long ass posts huh 😭😭

OK SO first off thankyou so much?? thats so sweet?????? 😭😭 i really don't think my character ramblings are anything special, but i like reading other ppls insane takes so i thought i'd provide others with the same 👍

not to get too into it but i feel like a series like life smp is best enjoyed with your own crazy delulu takes (similar to touhou if anyone heres familiar w/ that fandom). and it makes me kinda sad to see ppl arguing abt whats 'canon' or 'correct' cus that's no fun lol

ANYWAY yeah uh im glad u like the vibes!! :J

TREEBARK

this one first cus chronology. I honestly don't know if there's anything I can say here that hasn't been said before? But yeah they're. tasty. something about martyn waiting the entirety of third life to betray ren and never getting the chance and now longing to have him back. lots of regret but regret. for what. yknow. and ren always looking out for martyn even from a distance. and then martyn losing that connection in limlife.

yeah i can see why people ship lmao

uhh i don't really know what else to write here so have some of my insane ramblings copy+pasted from my shipping doc 👍

Martyn fancies himself a schemer, someone who's not afraid to play the game the way it's intended. If that means earning a powerful ally's trust only to shatter it then he was going to do it. Only, Martyn's bark is worse than his bite, and every night he spends in lying awake in those soft, warm sheets that Ren had laid out just for him (freshly washed too, he might add. Smelled like sunshine) he wonders if he can do it. He can, of course. (he can't. he won't. he's too soft. soft and useless.) He'd cut his head off already. (he wants to vomit) (this is why no one needs you. wants you. loves you) Who cares about other people anyway? He is the only one who really matters. (the thought of being alone makes him want to cry) Ren, on the other hand, is a capable leader. The definition of loyal and dependable, if not a bit dramatic. He struggles with self-worth, being good enough, useful enough, powerful enough. But to others, he's the opposite, caring and protective of any who would ask for his aid. After all, every citizen deserves to live in safety and comfort, and providing that is what a good King would do. ~ Martyn's not as sneaky as he thinks he is. Ren knows. Ren sees the signs. It's a death game for a reason. But he doesn't let Martyn know. He doesn't even hold it against him. He doesn't see the bloodthirst anymore, only the broken pieces lying underneath. ~ or the King's Hand, it was the thrill of feeling Useful, Powerful, Feared (loved). He was going to miss it after he betrayed him, the high of bloodlust, the smell in the air as he charged into battle. (the way his hands held him so gently) For the King himself, deep down he knew it was never to be. He had met a monster, but he hoped his efforts calmed the storm ever so slightly. On some days, he pretends to forget about the death game entirely and imagines the speech he'd give to retire his Hand. "You don't have to fight anymore," he'd say, "I'll take care of you from now on, I promise. So put the sword down, okay?" But in the end, it was all a fantasy, wasn't it?

^ yes this is so cheesy but so are they.

Cry with me again Smile with me again Scream with me again Sing with me again Dance with me again Talk to me again…

"Lower One's Eyes" (Oktavia translyrics)

MAJORWOOD

I think.. I talk too much abt scott seeing as that's who everyone points out when it comes to my headcanons 😭😭 but uh i swear everyone else is just as messed up. and martyn is like. just as bad if not worse (if that wasn't made clear from my ramblings before)

anyway uh say it with me rebound 👏 relationship 👏

i think they're both.. very numb to it all once limlife rolls around. they're just tired and have this mutual understanding and both think they're horrible people. martyn just wants to play the game. scott doesn't even know what he wants anymore.

but ofc, they're both still human and want love and comfort, so they try to seek that from one another. even if it's fake. even if it doesn't matter in the end.

Baby, though I've closed my eyes I know who you pretend I am I know who you pretend I am

Washing Machine Heart (Mitski)

We’re the Delusioned Victim Cash-in Union Praise to the “love” that will bring salvation!  Two fools singing to a shallow melody Restart, reflation, teleportation Time and again we’re stuck in rotation Circles inside a love without any ending

MKDR (SirHamnet Lyrics)

Scott uses Martyn as a replacement for Jimmy and Martyn uses Scott as a replacement for Ren. they know they dislike eachother (see: all of double life) and that only one of them will make it out alive. but they can't get that love and comfort from anyone else now.

also uhhh eroguro my beloved...... im assuming this is getting brought up cus of my mentions of loving eroguro in the past. and yes to all of that very much i agree. but i do have kind of.. a limit to what i do w/ these characters specifically because of the fandom/ccs (at least publicly). if i ever do decide to share the nastier stuff in my head or go into detail on gore and whatnot i'd probs make a sideblog and tuck it away and maybe block scott and martyn for always somehow showing up on my posts lmao

[oz-moth]

Hi hi hello we've been trying to reach you about your Addisons' extended warranty :D

Sooo. Flair and Pay 👁👁 They're a little 🏳️‍🌈🫳✨️ /pos, what's their relationship like?? How does Pay end up giving Flair their redemption arc?

Also WHERE DID PAY HIDE THE STILL-ALIVE BODY. You said he 'ate' the first Yellow CEO (correct me if I'm wrong on the 'first Yellow CEO' part), and yet Clip is still alive because Pay doesn't have it in him to kill.

Is Pay just- slowly consuming parts of Clip in secret while keeping him alive? Or was the 'ate' thing just a speculation for Clip's disappearance, if Clip was the first at all (I think it was implied he was but I'm not sure)?

(Also *cough cough* would Pay get along with Scrollon from Brightgoat since they both have those cannibalistic tendencies *cough cough* /not forced to answer this one btw, just me hyperfixating and making weird connections in my head ^-^)

Also, is cannibalism just- known to exist among Addis but nobody really tries to stop it? Is it more of a hidden thing? Why is it allowed for Reds / whoever a Purple or Orange serve to just- not buy from them even though it's slowly killing them and it'll likely end up in one of them dying, you'd think there would be laws or protections in place for that, wouldn't there? Or are Oranges and Purples just so low on the social ladder that it's acceptable to mistreat them for some reason? (In which case OOOF, slay for eating the people who are mistreating them in that case)

(Aghh your AU is so interesting I love it :D)

1. Pay and Flair have a very on and off relationship, it's complicated as Pay wants to be open but Flair dosent as (While he's a asshole) he cares more about his job than Pay.

Flair ends up doing quiet alot to make sure he can date Pay safely. (Riots, he rioted on authority. He went from being picture perfect to a complete Rebel.)

2. Clip is under the Mansion. Not with the Spamton bot.

Hes lower.

(Not Spoilery I just don't want a make the post to long. Idm if U have any questions after ABT locations n stuff after tbf I could go on all day)

Pay knows where Clip is.

Also if Scrollon is the cannibalistic Pink I think your talking about.

Yes.

They would get along. Clip is in a specific place where theirs a Area VERY based of The Cutesy Cannibal stuff Scrollon has going.

3. Cannibalism is tricky. It's more not told to the public because they don't want to stop making them. Cus that means less money.

It also just means less competition. So Those who find out. Shut up.

4. Mistreatment is fine. No one cares. Their are social groups who think The Addison rank system is bad but no one listens to them. People care more about money.

Unsure if I made it clear. But Red Addisons/Higher ups can buy from their assistants. They just don't care enough to. They are made in masses so it's easy to replace.

It's a power dynamic thing.

If I missed anything or smthn you can pester me idm!

[sirenofthegreenbanks]

2 + 3 + 12 + 33!!!!

had to fish around to find that ask game again!!!!! also hiiiii better late than never :))) :}}}}} <3 i need to tell u smth abt kleo i have Thoughts (not big thoughts this sounds as if its big it isnt i just reconsidered my initial statement that u might not like iiiiit)

2. anything that you'd like to write but feel that youre unable to??

oh yes!!! so much!!!!! even the things im writing bring me constantly into a situation of hair-tearing-out crying-clawing-screaming hitting-head-against-the-wall. i flip-flop between thinking i cant even write what im writing and thinking that im kinda decent. hhhhh. anyway!!!!!

i want to write a solid longfic with extensive worldbuilding. it doesnt matter the genre, just solid and rich worldbuilding where the writing stays consistent and steady until the end is already good. but if i could specifiy, i yearn for it to be a canon compliant/canon divergence/canon era fic with a unique take on canon. i want to write canon era fics in general, but im always hesitant to. i know what happens when i fall into a research hole, it fires up my anxiety. and i want to write scifi or a cool space opera. and i want to be able to write novel fic (of tyk) and not want to die during the process. all these things feel impossible to me :]]]]]]]]

3. how would u describe ur writing style?

i had to think about this for a bit!!!! because my writing style is unfortunately directly connected to my mental stability which is not always. stable. huehe. hmmmm i think my style (given that im doing good!) leans very hard into economical but evocative storytelling; like, i mean the rhythm of oral storytelling. stream of consciousness. prose poetry. poetry slam. i want the words to explode in your mouth and i want it to paint a very clear image in your head. i want people to hear me telling the story! even if the reader (or listener!) cant be there to experience it for themselves, at least i can tell them about it! thats probably because my first experience with story as a concept comes from audio dramas and generally someone reading something to me. thats honestly still the medium i prefer, tbh.

12. if you write in more than one language, whats the difference?

TvvvvvvT

currently i dont write in more than one language, if u dont count non-fictional handwriting bc i write all my notes in my native language. but i still remember how it used to be to write creatively in german. like im always whining about how difficult it is to cast the same image in english as in german; i just dont have that fine motor control over english as i have over german. i can easily switch between gears in german but english still ,, befuddles me pfft. its most noticable when im mucking around drafting and spend more time thinking about fun stuff like correct grammar and correct sentence structure and which word means what in english, than about the story and the characters. it takes so much energy and effort to think about and of all of this, there is barely any space left for the story that im trying to tell. which is def a major drawback for me and one of the reasons that ive been considering to start writing in german again. even though i have uh some baggage there that i dont really want to face. language is so connected to identity and culture. and thats another reason why english is difficult; i know english, aside from school, mostly from usamerican books or from online interactions with usamericans or people talking usamerican. so that has ofc heavily influenced my own english. like, i set all my stories in germany for reasons, but its stupidly hard to draw up the cultural markers because the language itself that im using is already coming with cultural influences from another country. its really strange and confusing, and i would find it fascinating and interesting if it wasnt so frustrating. sometimes it feels like there is a veil between me and what im trying to say, and also as if my thought patterns dont work as they would because the language that should just be a tool to tell a story is already so dominant. thats def smth i hope to change in the future

33. give your writing a compliment!

hmmm. its very earnest. reading my own stuff, even old stuff, i can tell what sort of struggles made it hard to get smth specific onto the page. and sometimes what ends up on the page is not what was supposed to be there in the first place. but its earnest and i can see that. its always the best i can do in that moment, and its always a piece of me because i give so much of myself during the process. thats not always a good thing but its how i am. im glad the earnestness, the sincerity, the love, the faith, the hope, is so visible to the bare eye.

yet another writing ask

[my-mt-heart]

Hi MT,

Im french and i needed to vent about something. I watched the finale when it aired in english. I cried and screamed with joy when he said i love you.

But i rewatched in yesterday, and for the first time, in french. I could not wait to hear "je t aime", also because i love the french voice actor who is quite famous here in the "dubbing" world. But i disgress.

So i watched it in french, with my popcorn, ready to hear "je t aime" . Guess what?

They translated it in... "i care about you, you know" and she answered the same.

I am fucking mad.

What were they afraid of?? That we dont consider it platonic enough?? Im curious to know how it went in other languages, if anyone can help....

I mean if in the original language they were not afraid to use i love you, platonicwise or not, why would they change it in french?? Its bad enough that all the other carylers hates us now because of te spin off 🤣 (joking... hopefully)

That said, Caryl is not the only one who suffered from it.

Rosita's "i'm glad it was you in the end" became "im proud of what you became" which litteraly doesnt mean... the same at all

The guy in the helicopter said to Rick something like "its like HE told you", dont remember the exact words but it definitely was a HE, and it became "I told you". In one case, you hear abt a mysterious character that viewers will probably meet in the spin off, in the other case it means nothing special. Please correct me if im wrong now i have doubts. It was a HE right?? In english

Anyway, i can tell u that it definitely wasnt i love you in french and im pissed beyond mesure.

Im sorry that i cant bring anything positive, i just needed to talk abt it with someone. My friends watch twd but they dont care abt shipping ...🤷‍♀️ lol

Also, now i know that even when i love the french actors that beautifully dubbs my favorite characters's voice, its still better to watch it in the original language... so much is lost in translation, or worse

Some languages translated “I love you” in a romantic context, others didn’t. It’s a really tedious task going through scripts and making notes to avoid miscommunication, and some things unfortunately get overlooked. I don’t think that’s the case here though. The real issue has nothing to do with the dubbing at all, it was the insistence on keeping Caryl’s relationship ambiguous. We can talk about body language and micro expressions all day, but the bottom line is Caryl fans shouldn’t have been expected to connect the dots for themselves after waiting years for the payoff. It was an obvious marketing ploy, a way to put a band-aid on the spinoff fiasco while making it safe enough to reinvent Daryl in the spinoff 🤦‍♀️

The thing is, Caryl fans still cherish that milestone in their relationship. Daryl spoke with conviction. It was a promise, not a goodbye as some have put it, so how the hell are we supposed to buy that he’s feeling uncertain again in the spinoff? How is that “tension” going to make us feel anything other than irritated? Carol is riding Daryl’s bike, crossing a damn ocean, and probably retracing his steps to find him. What’s Daryl doing to get back to her, specifically her, not just “people.” Not just “them.” 🤨 I don’t want to waste my time looking for subtle clues here and there. If the payoff starts with Carol, that’s whose story I want to follow to get there.

Sorry, I had some venting to do myself. I have no clue about the helicopter scene lol

[skinner17]

bro that was a lot of words to justify a straight ship, which is usually the norm anyway? idk let gay people dislike straight ships and not "acknowledge" it or whatever, most people enjoy their friendship anyway, fandom is actually really peaceful rn, and i'll be honest, posts like yours do kinda irritate me bc it assumes straight ships are equal to gay ships whem i've spent years dealing with censorship, hate and having to be thankful for "subtext" crumbs. meanwhile straight ships get called boring by gay fans and sometimes gay people dislike them. like, i'm not trying to start anything, i know you have good intentions with making everyone get along and such, which is why i decided to message you, you seem open to conversation, so i would ask you to understand why saying gay people HAVE to acknowledge that a man and a women who are canonly only friends have a relationship with romantic undertones when the big majority ship marcille with falin and already have to deal with pushback even though it's currently the most popular ship? i honestly believe that to be in poor taste. like ship and let ship, i guess, but also let gay people dislike straight stuff after a lifetime of being forced to deal with it

Hi Anon, thank you for writing, Its natural that ure upset by my writing since u ship the other sip. I write because I just want to take off anything in my brain at the moment. And at the moment I feel like there's not enough Laimar essay when there's plenty of moment on the manga to hype.

I write for fellow Laimar shipper. And accept that it will upset farcille shipper. I am not asking any gay or het ppl to like ship they don't like. Its impossible.

I feel Tumblr is a good space to talk and writing whatever abt ship that often ignored/hated on popular fandom social media like Twitter.

I easily hype any other popular ship, gay or het on my Twitter acc.

It's not politically correct? Maybe. but heck I am in the fandom for fun.

There's big possibility that my blog will continue to upset you, because whatever I like and I write will not consider to what others ship. And that kind of dynamic is normal when involved with ship.

I am kinda flattered that you scroll through my account because my writing. I also understand if you block me. The point of fandom is having fun and it will be such a waste to spend it being upset about what other's ship.

[omegamoo]

HELLO OMEGAMOO .looking into your soul with my autistic eyes. can you explain the worldbuilding of wp pretty please. anything abt it i like your rambles and hearing about whittled pantheon

OH MY GOD HI MOSS.. thank u... lets go... under the cut. again. warning. there are some messy bits its not all the way figured out yet. hopefully i got all this right i guess tgm + twig can come correct me haha. and im mostly going to be explaining the failsafes and global worldbuilding here! theres lots of cultural worldbuilding we're working through but thats a lot more specific and less. plot relevant? if that makes sense.

OKAY SO. the first thing u gotta know is that there's a Guy (gender neutral) who creates the universe. the Guy has no role in the story whatsoever hes just the universe creator. and anyways. he creates galaxies and solar systems and also souls. but the souls like. don't behave? they just kinda float around through each solar system and get in the way. so the guy goes well this isn't working and creates shepherds for the souls, one for each solar system. the shepherds lead the souls to the afterlife and oversee like. creation of people getting souls. life and death. in the solar system where the pantheon old world planet is, the soul-herder is Sephtis, god of death, who ends up getting involved with the pantheon and running the shepherding from the wp planet.

also, the Guy creates these entities known as the Carvers, approximately one for each solar system, to go to each of the planets and bring life to them. the Guy hands each Carver two carved wooden & prismarine figures for each planet. these figures are gods, essentially. we call them the failsafes. the Carver is supposed to go to each planet in the solar system, drop off and activate the failsafes using her blood, and then move on to the next one. the failsafes then are like. faux-carvers who will oversee the world.

more on the failsafes - there are two per planet. one is earth-centric and the other is water-centric. so like, the two things humans need to live, if that makes sense. water failsafe controls the water (duh) and the earth failsafe has the ability to open tunnels between planets. this would allow for the carver to travel between planets, especially if something is to go wrong. again, these failsafes (and all other gods) are activated by the blood of a Carver, since the Carvers are like. magic. in the old world, the two failsafes are melior, goddess of aid (she's the earth one) and palaemon (water god. duh). this is why specifically the death of palaemon throws everything so out of balance! in the new world, the only activated failsafe is aides, the earth-centric god of caves. melior gets the gods from the old world to the new world during the catalyst, and aides creates the warren (chaotic system of tunnels more on this in a bit) so that daemon can get back and save iota.

so okay. the reason why the wp planet stands out is because the solar system's Carver is the only one who decides to try and carve her own gods to help humanity. this is how we get the pantheon. she carves and activates morrighan and ludo using her blood. they're supposed to enticehumans to explore and protect humans, but they swipe the prototype carvings of iota and daemon and then fuck off to who knows where. at this point the carver goes "well maybe this isn't working" and activates the first failsafe, melior. iota & daemons carvings are set down in a spot where the carver tripped and skinned her knee which activates them. they convince the carver to carve statikos. and so it goes.

palaemon's figure gets chucked into the ocean. we haven't exactly talked in a while about how this happens. maybe it was the carver maybe ludo tried to activate it and got pissed off and threw it into the ocean. i dont rememebr. but anyways the carver dies and her blood goes down into the ocean and activates palaemon. maey and palaemon r the last gods activated.

so now all of the Carver's duties have been split up amongst the gods alongside her blood. they each carry a bit of her purpose and self. this is why they are able to pass through the tunnel into the new world

in the new world, the gods find that there is no Carver in the new world and no active failsafes, which means there's no way to get iota back. so, they activate the earth-centric failsafe, aides, using their own combined blood since it was originally the blood of the carver. this Works but only kind of. aides isn't a full god, and thus the passageway he creates back to the old world is Fucked.

uhm. okay. i think.... for the present this is it. i could get into like. the mapping of the world or i could get tgm to talk about linguistics and we have a whole calendar system set up and i have so many thoughts about. the night sky. but this is like... what you need to know. about how the world(s) came to be

[sewer-sermon]

OOH! OK OK!! ABOUT THE HCS UMM HOW ABOUT SHERIFF?? AND/OR AUDI? :O

OOOOOOOOO ive actually been thinking abt audi a good bit lately bc i picked them up in an rp server a bit ago and once i start writing for a guy i guess im just cursed to absorb them as a blorko

so the way employers work to me, all 4 of them are given a certain "domain" to preside over and work with- conductor has time, stygian has death, deliberator has karma and auditor has society. however, as society did not always exist within nevada (u know, since with all periods of evolution there was a time where the animals were Just Animals), Auditor did not always exist!

the maker only brought them about once nevadeans began to band together in organized groups and figured stuff out like agriculture, making them the youngest of the four employers. despite this, they lie pretty flagrantly to the agency and pretty much any non-Employer that'll listen, claiming to have powers they don't or that they've been around since the dawn of creation. agency clones, for the most part, actually straight up don't know the other 3 employers exist (based off the way sanford & deimos react to mentions of the employers in m:pn)! and, because they're the most involved employer in nevadean society, it's not like the other three are ever around to correct or object, since their respective jobs keep them away from Nevada pretty much full-time.

also because of such hands-on involvement, which krinkels has described before as "ill-advised", theyve picked up a ton of nevadean mannerisms- employers are extremely different from nevadeans in a VERY obvious way, the most noticable being that they really don't do much idle behaviors. they truly are focused beings created for a single task, and it's extremely evident in their lack of behavior. however, auditor's broken past this over the years- their siblings find all their idle fidgeting and noise-making and expressions rather strange.

because they're the youngest, and because they so frequently remain in their simple, humanoid form for ease of communicating with the agency members, they are significantly weaker compared to the other employers. it's more difficult for them to access their more natural form, and even when they can, they have less energy to work with combatively. of course, a nevadean facing off against them would never know the difference- but in a fight against any of the other 3 employers, they'd likely go down first without any form of extra aid. (which is likely why they were so desperate for the keystone fragment!)

more personal hcs, but them & phobos have a sort of father-son relationship to me, in like a real fucked up cycle of trauma way. they were the one who selected Phobos to man Nexus personally to prove to the other 3 they were a capable decision-maker (which was swiftly pointed out by the other 3 as a horrible idea, being that Phobos has an original S-3LF- and original S-3LFs are historically known for being corrupt leaders). to further try and prove the other 3 wrong, they made Phobos out pretty much exactly in their image, and you can outright see the resulting parallels in the series- DOWN TO THE PEOPLE THEY'RE BETRAYED BY! THANKS, CHRISTOFF AND HOFNARR!

phobos & audi cant fucking stand eachother half the time and their relationship is super terse, cut and dry businessy, though they always act really pleasant around eachother in that insufferable corporate "im trying to one up you" way. phobos actively defies auditor at every turn he can get just to prove he answers to no one, and auditor delights in using whatever means they can to force him to do anything, just to remind him who put him in that position in the first place. the agency and nexus used to be competitors as much as they were eachother's suppliers, and auditor delights in knowing they've outlived Phobos and Nexus as a company. (they figured they would, being an employer, but they enjoy the satisfaction nonetheless!)

and, since you asked about sheriff as well, ill say this- auditors relationship with sheriff is definitely an ill advised one. sheriff's whole life is really only gonna be a blip to them- of course, between enmeshment and cloning tech, they could find ways to keep him around forever...

but would he really want that?

does he get much of a choice, at the end of things?

NAWW don't worry about it tho. they're happy for now!!! :o)c

hey im sorry if youve already answered this and i just didnt see or understand, but ive been wanting to ask this for awhile. im from romania and growing up i hung out w roma ppl who rly didnt care abt the terminology, we called them țigani, they called themselves țigani. over the years i have seen many roma ppl from here who think the push to be called roma instead of țigan is ridiculous/doesnt help/performative/annoying/its a upper class thing. most also reffer to the language that they speak as țigăneşte, and this is the terminology that we use too. however, there is also the side which says that it is an offensive word and that they would rather be called roma. i guess what im asking is, in your opinion, is the word ţigan inherently a slur? and, another thing, is the word țigan and gypsy (which i know theres also the same discourse in romania abt) the same thing? thank u and sorry again if u explained before

Hi anon!

Regarding the word țigan (or, to be honest, anything that has to do with terminology) we have to remember that there are a lot of Romani groups different from each other when it comes to history, dialects, customs, etc. So one group of Romani people may be comfortable with țigan, or with gypsy, but not other groups

Personally, all the Roma from Romania that I have met consider it a slur. All the Romanian Romani organizations that I know of consider it a slur, and the translation of the word țigan in German, "zigeuner", is unequivocally a slur. That's why I would consider "țigan" a slur, however, if your local Romani communities don't consider it a slur and are using it and are okay with you using it, then I won't speak over them, they know better than me how it's like living in Romania so I won't contradict them.

It can be a big intra-community discourse, however the general tendency nowadays is to consider cigan and variants of the term a slur, at least that's been my experience, that's been the experience of all the Roma I have met so far, and that's what I've seen from Romani organizations. But there are some Romani groups that disagree with that, and I respect that

I really get what you mean about it being somewhat ridiculous, performative, pointless and a privileged conversation. I often feel like that too, because often times on the internet and in mainstream politics, people will focus on what's the correct language to use, instead of discussing more pressing issues (i'm thinking about stuff like housing and access to healthcare, for example). That's why I try not to discourse too much about language and focus more on those other issues, though I do think it's good to remind people that the words they are using are sometimes, at best, derogatory, otherwise they'll get too bold and start insulting you...

tl;dr, I don't really think of this issue in terms of 'is it inherently a slur', for me it's more about supporting what the general Romani opinion is, and from what I've experienced, the general Romani opinion is that it's a slur, however I won't fight the Roma who disagree because they are entitled to their own opinion

And as for your last question, "are țigan and gypsy the same", the answer is no, not really. Words always carry different connotations when used in a different language. It's even more blatant in this case, because even though gypsy is used to translate țigan, "gypsy" comes from the word "Egyptian" while "țigani" comes from the Greek word "athinganoi". When people say gypsy translates to țigan, it's because this word is the closest equivalence in the targeted language, it's not a direct translation the way "zigeuner" directly translates to "țigan"

I hope this helps and that my explanation makes sense!

YTA.

Anne (24f) was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. I don't know when, she just told me this years ago. I've seen tiktoks about bpd and researched Google about bpd a little so I know all about how they have fave persons and will "mimic" people in the friend group and become clingy, manipulate, etc.

first of all. seeing tiktoks abt bpd is not "knowing all about" it. googling it is not "knowing all about it". especially with something as stigmatized as bpd where a lot of articles are ableist about it. also saying people with a disorder are "clingy and manipulative" is ableist and also just mean.

she said she only joined the theater club because a boy she had a crush on was in theater. That should've been my first red flag

how is that a red flag 😭?

One of our friends Mike (25m) is a trans man. We met him four years ago. He's very handsome, broody, introverted, intelligent, great listener, very accepting and understanding, similar to me but opposite to her.

INFO: are you in love with mike?

I asked him on a date

ah.

Well last year Anne suddenly tells us that she is trans too. She says she's bigender. She says she is okay with either she her or he him because she feels like a man and a woman at the same time. Some days she's a woman, some days she's a man, and some days she's both, according to her. She says she does not like they them pronouns.

okay? good for him. it's weird that you've been using only she/her this whole time and it's weird to say "she says" and "according to her" about her identity bc it kind of implies a disbelief .

Here's the problem: she has not changed her outward appearance, her name, started any kind of medical stuff, joined any groups, bought a binder etc.

you don't need to do any of that to be trans or nb and you don't need to do any of that to deserve respect. also do you know how hard it is to "start medical stuff" (which some people don't even want for a variety of completely valid reasons), how expensive binders are and how they can be hard to size and painful, etc etc etc. why should your friend change her presentation for you? why do you need him to do that to believe that he's trans? would you be judgemental of her if she had immediately started to take hormones or get surgery? respectfully, i think you would. i don't think this is about him at all, i think this is a you problem

We all continue to call her she and her because she fully presents as female and doesn't have a problem with it.

are you sure he doesn't have a problem with it or is her whole friend group misgendering him and he doesn't want to start drama. correcting someone who is misgendering u is terrifying ESPECIALLY when it's a friend u value and ESPECIALLY when it's a lot of people

Also she's very effeminate in body language, the way she talks, etc.

and? why does this matter? why should he perform masculinity for you to believe he's bigender? why can't she exist the way she feels comfortable?

Mike is the only one who uses he and him pronouns with her as often as she and her, but she has never thanked him.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO THANK SOMEONE FOR THE BASIC DECENCY OF USING THE PROPER PRONOUNS. oh my god. there is so much transphobia and ableism to unpack in this post i barely even know where to start.

First off, Anne and Mike are NOT compatible.

INFO: How is this your business?

It feels like she was attracted to him, found out he usually dates other trans people, and found a way to continue being cis but claim to be trans without having to do anything trans related, basically mimicing her favorite person. As soon as they met they hit it off, or should I say she clung to him and pretended to have the same likes and dislikes whenever they were alone I assume.

you literally just made this up and believed it. you have no proof for any of this it's all speculation because you don't like this person and are ableist against pwBPD.

It sounds terrible I know,

it does

the group chat not only agreed that she is far too "obnoxious" for him (those were NOT my words!) but that she is faking being trans in an attempt to make him fall in love with her (which seems to be working.)

these people seem like assholes

So then a few of the people in my group chat and I held an intervention with Anne alone. The six of us (the others don't live close enough to come) met up with Anne at her place and told her what she was doing was wrong and gross and that she needed to get help for her bpd and to stop catfishing Mike.

so SIX of you WENT TO HER HOUSE and ACCUSED HER OF "CATFISHING" (??? INFO: do you know what catfishing is) because she... has bpd and is trans in a way you dont like?

She didn't take well to what was said, which I anticipated, but she went crazy. She was screaming at us, insulting us, sobbing while yelling etc, literally said if we ever contacted her again she would call the cops, so we left.

yeah no fucking shit. this is probably because you went to his house to talk shit about him, misgender him and tell him you think he's not really trans, said it was because of his BPD with, again, absolutely no proof. i would have flipped out on you too! what the hell is wrong with you! imagine if someone came to YOUR house, accused you of being a manipulative stalker because of a mental health issue you can't control, told you they thought you were faking your identity... frankly i think she responded very well.

Since Mike doesn't know anyone in the group chat I went alone

THESE PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW MIKE?????

and I explained EVERYTHING before she could gaslight and manipulate him even further.

INFO: did you learn these words from tiktok too?

a few hours later he texted me to never to speak to him again, and then blocked me on everything. I showed up to his house

WHAT THE FUCK

they either didn't respond or said for me never to contact them again because I was being transphobic.

YOU ARE

Listen I know under NORMAL circumstances you shouldn't question when someone comes out but

there is no but. you don't get to decide who's really trans and who's not! nobody gets to decide that but the trans person in question! it is transphobic no matter what!

I am concerned Anne is unsafe for Mike but also an unsafe person to know,

based off of what? what has she ever done to make you think mike is in danger? i have not heard a single thing in this long ass post that implies she is hurting him or could hurt him and that's a super fucked up thing to baselessly accuse someone of.

as she literally is trying to destroy my life because I called her out on some seriously messed up and abusive behavior.

that is not what's happening. you talked shit him behind his back, baselessly accusing him of faking his gender and being controlling/clingy/manipulative/abusive/etc, and now he has to try and repair the damage you have caused to his friendships. they have heard your side of the story and they have heard his and they chose him. he has done nothing messed up or abusive and you showed up at his house to verbally attack him and tried to convince his boyfriend to leave him off of, once again, entirely baseless claims. you were an asshole and now people don't like you. suck it up.

TLDR am I the asshole for trying to protect my trans friend from a potential stalker?

literally where the fuck did the stalking come from. this isn't what the situation was at all. a better TLDR is "am I the asshole for slandering my friend behind his back, misgendering her, saying cruel things about him because of his BPD, turning her friends against her, showing up at his house, trying to destroy her relationship, and calling him an abuser?"

the answer is yes, YTA.

INFO: What the fuck is wrong with you

aita for calling out someone for being manipulative towards a trans friend? Names have been changed for privacy reasons and TLDR at the end because this is long.

I (24f) am cis but have had a lot of trans friends (binary, nonbinary, and neopronoun) throughout the years and am very supportive so i take this very seriously. So I met this girl my first year in college (we were 18 at the time) and we became friends. We're polar opposites, she talks a lot and I don't, she parties a lot and I like to do more sophisticated things, she's a typical extrovert basically, and I'm more introverted. Anne (24f) was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. I don't know when, she just told me this years ago. I've seen tiktoks about bpd and researched Google about bpd a little so I know all about how they have fave persons and will "mimic" people in the friend group and become clingy, manipulate, etc. I've seen pics of her in high school, noticed that she was a theater kid, she said she was good at acting and even said she thinks her bpd helped with her acting although I'm not sure how, but she said she only joined the theater club because a boy she had a crush on was in theater. That should've been my first red flag but I was naive. She has a degree in something else (not theater) because our second year in college her favorite character in a TV show did a certain job, she got interested in that, and now she also does that as a living. She doesn't talk about her bpd, she's only mentioned it a handful of times. I can count on one hand how many times. And I get it because she said someone once told her people with bpd should be sterilized and not be allowed near children. Which is really messed up and I hate that someone said that.

However on with the situation. One of our friends Mike (25m) is a trans man. We met him four years ago. He's very handsome, broody, introverted, intelligent, great listener, very accepting and understanding, similar to me but opposite to her. Now we didn't know he was trans until two years ago, because I asked him on a date and he turned me down, and when I asked why he told me that he was mostly T4T and only viewed me as a friend. We were like woah you're trans, okay that's cool, etc. He explained that he was lucky enough to get on puberty blockers and transition young etc which is why he passes. I said okay I'm not trans and you're mostly T4T fair enough.

Well last year Anne suddenly tells us that she is trans too. She says she's bigender. She says she is okay with either she her or he him because she feels like a man and a woman at the same time. Some days she's a woman, some days she's a man, and some days she's both, according to her. She says she does not like they them pronouns. Suddenly her and Mike are spending all this extra time together. Last month he confided in me that he thinks he's in love with her, after years of him only seeing her as a friend, and then they started officially dating.

Here's the problem: she has not changed her outward appearance, her name, started any kind of medical stuff, joined any groups, bought a binder etc. We all continue to call her she and her because she fully presents as female and doesn't have a problem with it. Also she's very effeminate in body language, the way she talks, etc. I know technically I could call her a he or a him, too, but she never asks me to or corrects people when they call her she because well technically she is a she too. Mike is the only one who uses he and him pronouns with her as often as she and her, but she has never thanked him. It really feels like she's saying she's trans and then going about her life exactly as a cis woman simply to convince Mike to date her.

First off, Anne and Mike are NOT compatible. She likes to party, smoke weed, talks a lot, I'm not sure how she graduated with such good grades or why she does so well in her job because she is honestly a LOT to handle and I'm saying that as nice as possible. Mike would never touch weed or go to clubs and he says he would be fine staying home while she does those things but how could you trust someone to party while high and not hook up with others? I've seen her make out with five people in one night at a frat party. They also had wildly different childhoods, such as she grew up in a conservative community and doesn't speak to her family, and he grew up in a liberal area and is close with his family. But more importantly she has a history of joining theater because she had a crush on someone in theater (plus she admits she is good at acting, so maybe she is acting now?) and getting a degree and job in a field because a favorite fictional character did that and now this? It feels like she was attracted to him, found out he usually dates other trans people, and found a way to continue being cis but claim to be trans without having to do anything trans related, basically mimicing her favorite person. As soon as they met they hit it off, or should I say she clung to him and pretended to have the same likes and dislikes whenever they were alone I assume.

It sounds terrible I know, which is why I discussed this with a group chat first that neither of them are in, and the group chat not only agreed that she is far too "obnoxious" for him (those were NOT my words!) but that she is faking being trans in an attempt to make him fall in love with her (which seems to be working.) I would NEVER have gone further without making sure with them first. So then a few of the people in my group chat and I held an intervention with Anne alone. The six of us (the others don't live close enough to come) met up with Anne at her place and told her what she was doing was wrong and gross and that she needed to get help for her bpd and to stop catfishing Mike. She didn't take well to what was said, which I anticipated, but she went crazy. She was screaming at us, insulting us, sobbing while yelling etc, literally said if we ever contacted her again she would call the cops, so we left.

I immediately called Mike before she could and asked him to meet me at a restaurant nearby and that it was very important. Since Mike doesn't know anyone in the group chat I went alone and I explained EVERYTHING before she could gaslight and manipulate him even further. He left, did not finish or pay for his food. I messaged him several times, but a few hours later he texted me to never to speak to him again, and then blocked me on everything. I showed up to his house and Anne was there. Mike said if I ever contacted him again he would get a restraining order on me so I left. I've discussed this with the group chat and now suddenly half of them changed their mind and don't want to talk about it anymore. Several of them left the group chat. Not only that but several of my friends who know either Mike or Anne or both have blocked me on everything. When I've tried to contact these friends through other means and explain everything, they either didn't respond or said for me never to contact them again because I was being transphobic. Listen I know under NORMAL circumstances you shouldn't question when someone comes out but this is NOT a normal situation, and now I am concerned Anne is unsafe for Mike but also an unsafe person to know, as she literally is trying to destroy my life because I called her out on some seriously messed up and abusive behavior.

TLDR am I the asshole for trying to protect my trans friend from a potential stalker?

What are these acronyms?

f1twt has been popping off since the race ended too. someone posted a clip of lando asking his engineer to "SPEAK up" bc you know, his engineer was giving him important information about the tyres and gaps to other drivers at that point. heaven forbid lando want to actually hear that information. anyway they posted that clip with this big rant about how "if yuki told his race engineer to shut up, we/f1 would be attacking him instead of laughing about it" and i was genuinely sitting there reading all of the replies like. people just say things without even listening to the 5 second clips they're discussing anymore because you can very clearly hear him ask his engineer to SPEAK up. it doesn't even remotely sound like shut up. (not to mention lando had been asking will off and on the entire race to please speak louder because he was having trouble hearing him). but point is these people really just say anything without 1 second to check if it's really true. i also. idk. as a poc, find it rlly weird to be using the actual racism faced by drivers on the grid to push an agenda against a driver you don't like, instead of viewing it as it's own separate and real issue? like do u actually even care about the racism or is it just looking for reasons to hate and push an agenda against another driver u care about. anyway sorry this is long, that pissed me off since i saw it but there are 0 braincells among f1twt as a collective so i rlly did not want to say anything and have them coming at me fjskcks

ok this is kind of bizarre bc i DID see the post talking about lando telling will to shut up and how yuki would've been crucified for it, but it DIDNT include the clip in it. tbh u couldve seen a similar take but i actually think ur misremembering the post, mostly bc no one was picking on lando for the 'speak up' radio (even outside of that post), they were talking about when he cut will off somewhere in those last 20 laps saying "i see i see i see, i'm pushing mate". and then the yuki fan CONTINUED TO SAY that lando's radio was 'nothing serious', they were just pointing out the double standard of how the journos / comms / fandom / marko rinsed yuki and claimed he was not fit for f1 because of his 'angry' radios. i do think that fan was wrong bc lando very much got similar critiques after sochi21, but to be fair to them most fans on twt weren't watching f1 3 years ago so like i wouldn't hold it against them. idk like twitter IS full of idiotic takes & the algorithm will push the most annoying ppl ever onto ur timeline in order for u to take the ragebait and engage, but like. i rly dont think this fan was hating on lando in general or was even in the wrong for venting their frustrations w how yuki is constantly carricaturised and underestimated. which again - maybe im talking abt another fan but its unlikely bc its this one who caught ALL the flack from all my lando stan mutuals so i think its the tweet ur also referencing.

anyways i dont think its necessarily making it a race thing to point out if theres double standards between drivers (especially re: british bias) even though again i dont think in this case they were correct specifically abt lando. but i also wouldnt find it outlandish to consider the outrage re: yuki's swearing is part of a bigger pattern of how east asian men r treated. i think yuki has been infantilised and woobified bc of his race and height throughout his career, and the cognitive dissonance created when he swears a lot (perfectly normal for ppl who dont speak much english / are ESL to swear liberally) is bc ppl cant concieve of the innocent little baby yuki in their heads being an adult man who can use swear words. and i think in that respect his career & public perception has had a similar trajectory to lando (who is infantilised for different non-race-related reasons lol), which is why i have a lot of compassion for yuki fans who r frustrated with it. especially in a casual liveblog situation that wasn't meant to be a Big Statement. but idk maybe thats my yuki bias showing

[galsgeneration]

What do u love abt sonadow? :oc

Oh, there are quite a few things I love about them! Sonic and Shadow's canon dynamic is fascinating in so many levels, since their interactions mostly leave something unsaid or not acknowledged directly - the subtlety is the main point for me. I believe another point that made me like and see them as a cool and interesting pairing in the first place is how important their rivalry - in every aspects of life - is and means to them. It pushes them to do better in every way and help them learn/unlearn things about themselves, such as limits and beliefs, even as friends or foes depending on the circumstances.

Their lifestyles are different albeit similar, considering both of them value freedom and act by their own rules, not following orders or what's morally correct. It all depends on their principles (for Sonic) and goals (for Shadow), yet these two lines also can blur. Moreover, their communication through actions (from the games to recent comics) and gazes (like in Sonic X for example) is something I love to see explored within their dynamic, knowing how sometimes they understand each other in a sense, though not always agree with the other's ways of handling a certain situation they're in/a part of.

This idea is also tied to how they don't seek each other actively for anything, but for some reason, whenever they end up crossing paths again, Sonic and Shadow tend to stick together for a bit. Whether for the sake of the world or to basically challenge each other, they do have some fun in their own little ways. It's a very unconventional, impersonal yet meaningful dynamic and that's exactly why I love it.

SEGA JP was right to describe it as a rare, up-close and personal relationship. It really doesn't fall under a common pattern or can be compared to any other dynamics, since the details we get to see are very much them if you look closely and connect to past events/interactions. There's also a little care between them, not in the romantic sense, but they do appreciate each other's "existence" and input/assistance in a few moments.

Another point I absolutely enjoy is how whenever "they're off in their own little world" (Knuckles' words) at times, other people or main conflicts don't seem to matter until they're done with their competition. Sonic also tends to distract Shadow a lot from his goals, which is amazing and hilarious since his cold-hearted rival is very strict when fulfilling those. He has this hidden respect for Shadow (much like the other does), even when their opinions clash. He doesn't judge him when he gets to understand what and why he's doing what he does - even showing eventual trust (such as in Sonic Battle). Still, he is suspicious of him, and it's something fun to point out, because in the end, Shadow's methods tend to prove him wrong most of the time (like shown in Sonic Forces, Team Sonic Racing and the recent Sonic x Shadow Channel story).

Shadow barely cares for what Sonic has to say about him and vice-versa, though they can rile each other up depending on the words they use or the situation at hand. They have a slight effect on each other and you can see that a lot from Shadow's side. He also likes to show Sonic how worthy of an opponent he is, and that's another point to pay attention to, because he doesn't do that to anyone else. This is why I love them, no matter the setting - as potential lovers or simply two guys being dudes, never excluding their rivalry. Their dynamic would remain the same in both cases, since their unusual interactions are what makes them so special to me!

THIS SO GOOD? Me when I have a paper to grade.

Q1 is exandroth her is exandroth her own character separate from peter: Perfect answer, correct, the little elaboration was not required but was super well put.

Q2 is exandroth evil: Could have used some examples but from your responses it seems you're a bit rusty when it comes to the contents of Apotheosis so I don't mind. Good work providing a framework for the question before answering!! Apotheosis is a morally grey campaign with morally grey characters, so it is essential to have a framework before you can approach the question, and your response does that!!

Q3 what is exandroth's relationship to peter, thanatos and rumi respectively: These are all great answers, partically the answer regarding Thanatos and Exandroth's relationship!! I'm going to actually note that down because that's something I've never actually had the words for myself, that's just brilliant. The tiniest nitpick would be that Rumi did not baptise Exandroth to try and kill her, but Rumi did (maybe, if u interpret it that way) want Exandroth dead so the sentimemt is still there.

(Q4 what are exandroth's distinct attacks): accidentally skipped this question but it's not too important so i don't mind. just included for something dilly i suppose.

Q4 why does exandroth despise the gods: Yeah pretty much. Exandroth being a radical, being imprisoned by them, and being looked down upon by the gods are all valid answers here.

Q5 were there any significant changes in exandroth's mentality over the course of the campaign: I am so sorry but would say that there are changes, mostly in regards to her relationship to others and how Exandroth's anger smooths out and I feel like something else but I forgor. A bit of the former was mentioned in your response with Exandroth's affection towards Rumi, but nothing about the latter, though I don't blame people since it flies under the radar pretty much.

For some elaboration, because I love talking about Exandroth, earlier in the campaign it's shown that Exandroth has really just so much anger and vitriol towards the gods that she can't control. Peter describes Exandroth as full of rage, Exandroth goes to murder Elotl without even considering letting Rumi and Peter help free Terran, Exandroth cusses out Rymir and goes to kill them without missing a beat.. But later in the campaign, funnily enough a bit like Thanatos, Exandroth lets the group attempt to free Aona and Tareus' vessels, and is also able to remain calm and even joke around when once again confronted by Rymir. So there is changes in how Exandroth thinks... Though reading back I feel like I didn't word this question the best (which I know I shouldn't worry abt since I wrote these out in like 2 seconds or something but you know).

Q6 did exandroth act out of character ep 13, if so explain in what ways and why that might be: This question wasn't answered and I have to like get ready for something I have today so I won't give an elaboration, tho once again I maybe could have worded this question better? But I think it was a hard question to word in the first place.. Anyways, Let's just skip this over.

Q7 what were exandroth's goals: maim murder revenge girlboss.

Bonus question: the addition is very funny and in character and improves upon the answer.

Anyways, I have no interesting in giving specific numbers or anything so I'm just gonna say u pass and tell everyone to go watch Apotheosis if u have access to the JRWI patreon because I think it's really neat and at some point Thanatos and Exandroth fight a bidet (with the help of the Moonbeast no less) and lose.

people need to not be allowed to do anything with exandroth until they pass an exam test i think. and you know what now that ive typed that down i think that would be pretty funny.

— warnings: mentions of dysphoria, mentions of being misgendered (but none done by the boys!), reader is trans (ftm) no pronouns are used but they are referred to as "boyfriend" multiple times!

— characters: azul, jade, floyd, ruggie

✿。 azul — when you come out to him, he doesn't want to overreact in case you don't want a big deal made about it, but he also wants you to know that it doesn't matter to him at all! he's very accepting of not only your gender but also your self-expression, etc which ties into his childhood and how he'd definitely believe that people should not be discriminated against or ridiculed for being who they are.

— whether you had transitioned prior to being in a relationship with him or during your relationship, he'll offer to get and pay for anything you need. if you ever have dysphoria, he'll always be there to comfort you to the best of his abilities.

— he'll always reaffirm your identity and make sure you know that you're his boyfriend and he'll always be here for you. he doesn't really know if there's anything he can do to be a better trans ally, but he definitely wants to be, so help him out! trans awareness being spread at mostro lounge? he's on it! whatever you want, it's up to you. ✿。 jade — he's really pleased that you felt comfortable enough to tell him! he'll smile like how he usually does and thank you for telling him, and that he doesn't mind it at all (if you were worried about his reaction!). he's just so proud of you for not only been brave enough to tell him, but also, if you hadn't transitioned prior to your relationship, he'd be proud that you found your true identity!

— if you're ever feeling down in relation to your identity, he'll definitely dote on you a lot more than he usually would. if somebody misgendered you, he would drag them through the mud. not in front of you though, but the next day you'd get a handwritten apology from whoever that person was. he always offers to listen to your problems, and whatever's on your mind.

— and if you ever misgendered yourself? he will not tolerate that. don't misgender his boyfriend! it makes him so irritated, why can't you see yourself like how he sees you! additionally, if you ever want to borrow some of his clothes, he'll definitely let you. ✿。 floyd — he's so happy for you! he just squeezes you in a big hug, because, like jade, he's so proud of you. he immediately starts going around like, look at my boyfriend, as if he didn't already do that before. nothing really changes, but he'll constantly make an effort to point out how handsome you look on a daily basis! you need to be reminded how amazing you are.

— also the kind of person to start throwing fists if somebody misgenders you, and he won't hear any excuses! but if you'd prefer to correct the person yourself, then he totally respects that and will just cheer for you on the sidelines.

— another one to let you borrow his clothes, he might even just gift a bunch of his old clothes to you if you'd like. he knows it'd save you some money, and it also comforts him to know that he'll be with you in spirit wherever you go. he's a very touchy person, so if you're even feeling down about your identity, he'll listen to you talk about what's on your mind with you preferably being in his arms, and he just hums against your back, reassuring you on whatever it is. ✿。 ruggie — he's glad you told him. he feels very honoured that you felt comfortable enough to come out to him. he's also one that doesn't want to make a huge deal out of it in case it makes you uncomfortable, so he just reassures you that he's proud of you.

— he's very understanding and a good listener whenever you tell him about your problems or concerns involving your gender identity, and will try his best to provide you with advice, reassurance, or a distraction! whichever you think will be most helpful to you.

— ruggie might even snag something from leona just to gift it to you.. but, it's the thought that counts, even if it's somewhat criminal, right..? honestly, whatever you need, he'll try his best to provide! he wants to support you in the best way possible, and he knows that he isn't the best at comforting you, so he tries in his own way.
