I well and truly had to go through a hero's journey with my relationship to masculinity and how it affects my sense of self in my attraction to others. Man I wish I'd been able to go through this process YEARS ago, I wasted so much time trying to pin myself into something I wasn't and was never going to be. Good news is I know it now, so I can start really digging in and learning more about who and what I am!
#Took me so long but I think I'm finally in a place to try dating outside of other people PUSHING me to and it's fucking weird to be here tbh#Was starting to think I never would be.#Anyways this post is actually about the months I've spent going through like. the stages of grief about my attraction to clint eastwood lol#and now I'm on the other side and I'm like y know what? I'm allowed to have probelmatic faves! I am not the exception to that!#thought crimes aren't real and I'd kick my friends ass if they were beating themselves up about it like I did with meeeee!!!!#I'm also still ace. This is different from normal attraction for me but. Still ace lol#I think some of it is the sheer gender envy of it all @tall men GIVE ME YOUR HEIGHT#My brother is so TALL and I'm NOT it's NOT FAIR >:(#me#kat gets personal

intro, I guess?
hii! I figured I should make a post like this even though I have a feeling it will be like super messy xD
I've had an interest in history, specifically World War II basically since I was a kid. It was only recently though that I found out that there's a community for it! I've always had a thing with expressing my interests in ways that may seem slightly odd to other people, so it feels nice to see that there are others who seem to experience this in similar ways :3
I want to make it very clear that I am NOT a nazi or rightwing in any way, and I don't want actual (neo-)nazis to interact with my blog, get the fuck out! Similarly, I don't want racists, lgbtq-phobes, ableists, religious extremists, pedos & zoos or people of similarly disgusting kind to interact! I'm literally queer and neurodivergent (undiagnosed/suspected bc getting a therapy place is hard :/), this is not a place for you!
+++
I've been a fan of the Downfall parodies on youtube when I was younger and recently relapsed into this fixation😭 I don't know if this fandom even really exists at this point since it seems that many creators have left in the meantime, but I'd love to talk about it, maybe I'll even get to write fanfics at some point. Also a short disclaimer that when I talk about historical figures that play a major role in the Downfall parody universe (such as Fegelein, Krebs, Burgdorf etc), it will usually be about their parody selves, not the real people! I'll try to clarify that individually if needed though.
I've also started lurking a little in the reichblr tag with a feeling that I'd describe as "indimidated fascination". Currently I'm mostly interested in some members of the Wehrmacht, but other historical figures that I had or have an interest in might come up as well. Overall any stuff that I post will probably go more into the lighthearted and humorous direction, but I'd love to bring in some more educational stuff as well.
My inbox is always open if you want to gush or ramble about your favourite historical figures or Downfall characters (both from the parodies and the movie itself) and such! Please talk to me about our shared faves😭🫶
+++
I get crushes on fictional characters and sometimes historical figures too, but that doesn't mean I support, condone or defend their worldviews or actions in any way (this applies especially to real people of course)! These "crushes" usually stem from a place of fascination with who they were behind their public appearance, I want to know more about them as a private person, like their hobbies, favourite food and other mundane things like that. Often it's also simply that I feel physically attracted to their appearance because I think they're handsome, either that or they give me massive gender envy (or both lmao). I don't really control on who I fixate like that, it just happens, but I hope that this will be a place for me to express those feelings in some way and find like-minded people. Though I also want to point out that not all my fixations are automatically also crushes! Usually I will mention whether they are or not, or you'll probably notice based on what kind of posts I make about them lol.
Current main historical fixations:
Erwin Rommel (I can't help it I just think he's cute ._.)
Fritz Bayerlein (he's the dude in my pfp lol, there's barely info about him but idk I just think he's kinda interesting😭 also yes he was actually bi)
Current main Downfall fixations:
Hans Krebs & Wilhelm Burgdorf (the otp ever)
Wilhelm Mohnke (ngl Downfall!Mohnke is kinda fine❤️🔥 ... idk maybe I'm just finding the actor hot though😭)
+++
If I encounter things that make me uncomfortable I follow common fandom courtesy and block tags or blogs accordingly. This is nothing personal, I'm just curating my own online space. I don't want to see any harassment here, neither towards myself nor to others!
Anyway I guess that's it for now? Idk if this is any good as an intro post but for now it'll have to do I guess😂 I'm generally not really sure yet in which direction to go with this blog (should it be more Downfall or reichblr focused? is there a lot of overlap between the fandoms? do they even get along? help😭). I also don't know how active I'll be in general, I'm also constantly jumping between thoughts like "yee this is gonna be fun" and "dafuq am I doing here I should feel ashamed about myself" but I hope to meet people who share my interests :3
#downfall parodies#downfall parody#downfall#der untergang#reichblr#ww2#ww2 germany#how do I tag this help#also I have no idea what to do for my blog theme so I guess for now it's just Fritz lol#I'm honestly nervous about posting this ahh

HELLO
ivan, chuuya, fukuchi, tetchou, AAAAND
yosano
HELLO!!!!!!!!! THIS IS GOING TO BE LONG ivan goncharov first impression: oh how did fyodor fuck you up (did not know/realize he was lobotomized either) impression now: ohh he's my silly. his english dub voice gives me gender envy. i like his eyes. he is weirdly a well-written lobotomized guy. i looked into actual lobotomy for you favorite moment: his entire fight scene was good and more people should talk about it. signed yours truly me idea for a story: primarily? a general character study, however, - bubble bath. it is a character study with him and shibusawa. not set in canon - highschool au. he deserves to be a normal highschool student. he would swear a sweater vest. i will die on this hill unpopular opinion: his character is really fucking good and yes his ability's name is on the nose but i hope we see him again. i don't like shipping him in canon though bc he can't. Consent. Fyovan should not exist. also i think more people should be paying attention to the bsd side characters favorite relationship: shibuvan/shibusawa x ivan and you know it. my #1 comfort ship in my heart. they are so cute <3 favorite headcanon: he has tics and freckles. also sometimes i like making him trans the others are below v
chuuya nakahara first impression: oh he's cool impression now: I WANT TO BE YOU YOUR CHARACTER IS SO COOL GIVE ME YOUR GENDER YOUR CHARACTER SCRATCHES MY BRAIN YOUR ABILITY IS SO COOL. I AM NOT NORMAL. favorite moment: THE HELICOPTER SCENE OH MY GODD idea for a story: i have many! - hirotsu visits him during a stormy night and he's suffering w chronic pains but hirotsu gets him his meds. they get to talk a little. they are silly to me - summer camp au w dazai they are at war constantly - i have too many, but to briefly summarize the rest: fan dancer and kitsune au, meiji era/period au, chuuya and kouyou fic/character study, there will be more after i read stormbringer unpopular opinion: he probably doesn't have anger issues. might just be agitated easily or because of dazai. also people need to stop getting his character soo wrong because the amount of mischaracterization that surrounds that man is NOT funny favorite relationship: people sleep on his and hirotsu's possible dynamic. next one is well. okay. it's obvious, but soukoku, i just like their dynamic whether it's romantic or not. absolute menaces. shoutout to kunichuuzai also, but i honestly cannot ship that man all the time. bonus platonic relationships i really like is the idea of tetchou and chuuya becoming good fucking friends. let chuuya have so many friends to make up for the ones he's lost favorite headcanon(s): freckles chuuya, lightning scars chuuya, nonbinary chuuya (i dont use they/them for them all the time but i am a believer in it), chronic pains, autistic, metal/rock (the song genre) lover, sanrio and ocean life special interest, also demisexual/demiromantic !! sorry they have the most. favoritism is showing fukuchi ochi
first impression: oh doesn't he kill everybody's faves. meh impression now: YOUR CHARACTER AND WRITING IS SO OVERLOOKED. YOU ARE DAD MATERIAL AND THAT SCARES ME BUT IM ALSO :D ABOUT IT favorite moment: the entire fucking fight he has with atsushi and akutagawa. you don't understand he was both terrifying and also that gave me an actual adrenaline rush once i watched it in the anime. the music was so good. also the scene w aya !! idea for a story: the main one is a fukufuku fic where it goes through how overtime, fukuzawa in fukuchi's eyes is more like a wolf than a human being. it's his way of making it hurt less when he has to hurt him. i cant remember any others, but i hope there will be more unpopular opinion: can the fandom not hate on him so much lmao i dont mind seeing people dislike him that's valid but like. give him a chance i swear. he also can be trusted with children favorite relationship: him and fukuzawa's (romantically or platonically idrc). holy shit. holy shit. holy shi- also bonus shoutout to him and ranpo's!! it is not shown a lot but augh. of course i love his relationship with the hunting dogs too but fukufuku sits at the top favorite headcanon: hm. i can't think of any rn tetchou suehiro
first impression: AUTISTIC impression now: AUTISTIC favorite moment: them and kenji's fight >>>>> idea for a story: they are a samurai and they meet jouno along the way. they stay with fukuchi after having a rough run-in with an innkeeper and some people who are after them. they smell like blossoms unpopular opinion: i wish people wrote them beating up people more they're literally one of the strongest characters (physically specifically) of bsd favorite relationship: them and jouno's is peak favorite headcanon: asexual and nonbinary tetchou for the win. my most favorite one of all time though is them being half-taiwanese :] akiko yosano (surprise???)
first impression: please be well written. impression now: she is so cool!! i wish she had more screentime but oh my god she is so cool <33333 she is fun in the manga and i love her so much favorite moment: her backstory i wanna say. we don't get too much content of her but damn her backstory hits hard. it adds so much to her character and i love her a lot idea for a story: she and fukuzawa go shopping together. i think she also deserves some fics w fukuzawa. they have a fun time !! unpopular opinion: not a fan of kousano favorite relationship: her and ranpo's. siblings your honor, absolute siblings, ALSO THAT ONE SCENE IN HER BACKSTORY WHERE HE KNEELS DOWN TO HER AND SHES CRYING AND SJJSDHHFBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA favorite headcanon: aro/ace yosano is cool. very cool. aro/ace yosano.? holds her out to you. Consider

Helloo :DD since your last post I was “ok sure let me ask them smth in the ask box for fun :)” soo who are you favourite ninja from least to favorite and maybe how these prefferences changed during the seasons (like for example in season 1 come was your fifth but now he’s your second fave u know what I mean)
Have a good day or night >:D
ooooh good ask good ask
it’s easy to answer my favorite ninja: Kai. I love him. he’s been my favorite since the dawn of time even though he’s very stupid sometimes and often gives me second hand embarrassment. the writers let me down with him in the later seasons so I just constantly come up with massive storylines entirely revolving around him <3
my second favorite has to be Cole. Kai is my gender-envy-guy and Cole is my how-are-you-so-attractive-you’re-a-lego-guy! I, uh, I think that sums him up well. I like a lego-man who can toss a car like a frisbee. ALSO WHAT A BANGER DESIGN FOR HIS LAVA ARMS THING HOOLLLLYYYY MOLY
third favorite is where it starts to get difficult but I’m gonna go with Jay. Jay is like me a bit too much. there are two wolves inside of me and one of them is Jay Walker and the other is Kai Jiang-Smith. also once again, I love his elemental powers and their potential is boundless
fourth favorite is Nya. she’s risen up in my rankings I feel like cuz she’s just so interesting I guess?? like all her story arcs and background and skills and everything is just so good??? she’s such a well rounded character it makes me happy. also her being angry,,, with the sea at her back,,, could kill you and will,,,,,,,, amazing
fifth favorite is Zane. he. he just like me fr (again) but seriously he’s like Nya he’s just an all around GOOD character. he’s done evil he’s done sacrifice he’s done missing social cues constantly— what else could I ask for? he’s such a good go-to for a healer type character in my opinion
sixth favorite is Lloyd not because I hate him, it’s just that out of all of them I tend to think about him…. the least…… which is weird since he’s the main character but what I want with him is for him to be annoying and a kid. that’s my favorite bit about Lloyd, canon or fanon. he also deserves a break in my opinion, let him be the younger brother side character for once. also he achieved the “you were the hero of the story all along” trope pretty well and that’s my shit, sooooo yeah!
I feel like these have all stayed pretty much the same except for me liking Nya more as the show goes on \o/ all around good stuff I love all of them very dearly
#ahhhh that was nice I liked that#lists are good and ninjas are good#splintered asks#ninjago#lego ninjago#kai smith#cole brookstone#jay walker#nya smith#zane julien#lloyd garmadon

Give me a Hawks manifesto. Tell me all there is to appreciate about Hawks.
OKAY FUN FACT HAWKS THE NR 2 HERO LEFT MY BRAIN I am now obsessed with another fictional man. HOWEVER. I AM IN TOKYO RN AND. HOPE THISLL DO???-
1. He’s blond
2. He has magnificent red wings. Have you seen them?? THEYRE MASSIVE and I want to help him preen.
3. “I’m optimistic to a fault” same bro. Hurts, doesn’t it?
4. Did I mention his [redacted] waist to hip ratio??
5. His hero name is hawks. My favorite birds are hawks. I could go on a tangent about hawks the bird group too if you wish.
6. Concave ass.
7. His voice. HIS VOICE. It gives me insane levels of gender envy it’s unhealthy.
8. His lack of facial hair is giving me transmasc energy and I’m here for it because me too bro.
9. Father Problems. Is that something we should appreciate? Anyway
10. In my time of being in Hawks the Nr. 2 hero I have not had a single thought and I bet the people around me needed that silence from me.
11. Have you seen his figures? Have you seen his artfx figure? Foaming at the mouth.
12. I love queer men that kill. Exhibit A: Hannibal and Will. Don’t you love bloodthirsty queer men? You should.
13. His clothes look mad comfy. His fashion choice is immaculate (derogatory, it’s seen better days).
14. His fave food is fried chicken and it just suits him so well.
15. Meme material.
16. Definition of head empty no thoughts but I pretend to have them because the safety of all these people I have parasocial relationships with depends on it.
17. Did I mention he’s blond.
18. I don’t know how manifestos work. What am I manifesting, a man with crusty hair to finally know what its like to be loved?
19. Most things here are derogatory but I love him anyway your honor. He should learn to love himself tho.
20. His boots have a slight platform and I love that for him. Get that extra height.

If you were able to make your dream team in 3 houses and pluck and pick anyone from any house to make a new one , who would you choose ?
OHOHOo THANK YOU FOR SNEDING THIS IN IT MADE ME GET OUT OF MY CHAIR AND WALK AROUND FOR A BIT HEHE
to preface this though im by no means "good" at this game or anything dfgjkdfn i just go with the flow sometimes and choose whatever speaks to me yk... and im certainly not like. competitive or whatever. i mainly play games for enjoyment so please dont hurt me
was there any point in saying all that? no. since based on the ask it seems youre asking more abt creating an ultimate house full of faves rather than a list based on compatibility / playability during battles but. just wanted to make that clear
i also havent played the dlc yet so i dont know any of the ashen wolves ): once i play that this selection maaaay get updated
WITH THAT BEING SAID. SORT OF A BORING ANSWER BUT LIKE? IN TERMS OF DREAM TEAM IN BATTLES. ID DEF HAVE TO SAY ALL THE GIRLS... I THINK THATD JUST BE FUN.... its actually something i plan to do at some point after i finish up this run of azure moon :D
in terms of ultimate faves coming together in one house though? regardless of compatibility in battle? def dorothea marianne and mercedes... and edie. and lysithea. is there a cut off point? ok wait hold on. there's typically 8 per house right? ok. ok. fuck hold on.
DEF dorothea marianne and mercedes. edelgard i suppose as house leader even though claude comes VERY close. unless im able to put 2 house leaders in one? bc id love to do that. ok. so . them and then linhardt . fuck this is hard. uhmmmm.
UHM . OK. DOROTHEA MARIANNE MERCEDES EDELGARD CLAUDE LINHARDT LYSITHEA AND . PETRA ? IF IM UNABLE TO CHOOSE CLAUDE THEN ..... FERDIE ..... FINAL ANSWER
AFTERE PETRA WOULD BE INGRID THEN CASPAR THEN HUBERT I THINK
youa ctually dont understand how difficult that was for me. narrowing it down to only 8 characters? aaauugh im so indecisive. i only recently settled on my top fave from each house. only took me like . 2 years to do so. 3 actually
the other characterss i def still like (i pretty much enjoy all of them) but i dont have like HUGE attachments to them. like raphael and ignatz? i think they are very cool and neat but i wouldn't say theyre at the top of my list by any means, despite me like ..... suuuper respecting them
sylvain is an interesting character (as are pretty much all the blue lions) but i just dont reallt care abt theme ...... exception being mercedes and possibly ingrid. i see a character who puts their "niceness" on full display who also deserves to get angry and i get attached so of course mercedes grew on me. plus i think she's real sweet. not to say mercedes being nice is a facade but her being seen as the "mom friend" all the time must wear her down. like. when has there been a moment where she WASNT coddling someone / saying the nice thing / saying slash doing what the other person expects from her? NOT TO SAY SHES A PEOPLE PLEASER EITHER BUT JUST.... BC I KNOEW SHE WANTS TO SPEND THE REST OF HER LIFE HELPING OTHERS...... I JUST ENJOY CHARACTERS LIKE THAT LOL..... theyre easy to project onto. and i say ingrid bc her timeskip design..... gives me so much gender envy you have no idea. i already sort of talked abt the blue lions in another psot but. yeah! theyre all very interesting but for the most part i just couldn't care less
no one asked for this and YOU certainyl didnt ask for this but i wanna go through each house real quick.... i love the black eagles w/ all my heart. theyre def my fave house. im most emotionally attached to dorothea and linhardt i think though.... i just rly rly rly like edelgard. plsu i think all the hate surrounding her is dumb more than half the time. plus she was one of the characters i most had my eyes on back in 2020... when i firtt started playing.... the main reason why i GOT three houses was bc my friend told me i could marry her / marry a girl gkdfkgg so of COURSE shes gonna be held close to my heart..... but anyway. ferdie hubert and petra..... ferdinand and hubert grew on me after getting their A supports w/ byleth. its been a while since i watched the supports / thought abt them individually as characters but . i just remember feeling very ): (positive) after those moments. i rly enjoyed their character development... off the top of my head i love how hubert was like ... we can be the twin eagles flying alongside edelgard.... or some shit. and the whole like. if he had two lives he'd dedicate one to you..... I JUST LOVED THAT SO MUCH...... ferdie's an annoying noble sure but him post timeskip is just ..... idk man i just remember loving him during it soooo much. sucks my thoughts arent incredibly elaborate rn (will probably be so after playing crimson flower again) but. yeah. petra just. i instantly liked her and enjoyed her presence. plus shes a pretty solid unit. i wish i had more i could say but i dont really think about her in depth very often. i just think she's neat :) BERNIE. IA LMOST FORGOT ABT BERNIE. shes def the same as petra in this case but just ranked a bit lower. i dont think abt her much in depth but. yeah. i guess i dont rly think abt ferdie and hubie in depth either? i just think theyre neat. AND CASPAR.... I LOVE HIM TOO..... his A support w/ byleth made me ): but hes also not a character i think abt in depth very often... once again, i just think hes neat
now for the golden deer... marianne and claude and lysithea..... oh maaaan.... ESP MARIANNE....... HER ARC W/ HER DEPRESSION JUST.......... maaaaaan. i already knew i loved her but her A support w/ byleth made me love her so much more than before..... claude is just. him being mixed and him feeling demonized and out of place in both almyra and fodlan despite being BOTH almyran and fod.....lan just..... that's just the everyday feeling of being mixed white. his A support w/ marianne and the little story he shared with her to make her feel better abt her bloodline? abt bearing burdens they didnt ask for? god man.... and i just think lysithea is neat :) plus her whole like.... life being cut short and her working extra hard and CONSTANTLY overworking herself bc of it is jsut .... it makes me so sad. her supports w/ lorenz esp rly made that clear for me.... like how she was like. she doesnt give a fuck abt the future of the alliance bc shes not gonna be there to even see it? how she said that id be better for him to speak to someone (abt this stuff) who has one (a future)? it's so fucked up. she deserves better. also her and marianne's relationship to death..... i may make a separate post abt that, but they make me ACHE. as i said before, raphael and ignatz are my boys but theyre not at the top of my list yk. id be happy if i saw them on my team but theyre not my ultimate faves yk. lorenz is jsut. idk. my opinion on him def changed a bit after going throuhg his supports w/ the golden deer but other than that. ... i just hate how he treats claude LMAO he has a stick shoved up his ass like constantly. but i can respect his more pleasant moments absolutely. almost forgot abt hilda im sos sorry hilda. and leonie. idk theyre okay! theyre def in the same boat as ignatz and raphael. leonie did get on my nerves a bit sometimes though. her whole thing w/ jeralt just got annoying sometimes. she got better post timeskip i think but. yeah
SORRY FOR GOIONG ON AND ON LOL THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SENDING THIS IIIIIIN!!!!

Uh hi. Lomg time listener first time caller. I'm a bi+ enby but also a vagina-haver. I like to write fic of my fave mlm ship with two penis-havers and I like to wrote a lot of sex. There's plenty of G-rated stuff throughout too.
Basically my question is this: my cishet friend told me I was fetishizing mlm relationships inappropriately for writing fic. I think of it as more of a gender exploration (...and maybe envy a little) thing for me tbh, but they don't know I'm enby. I'm not sure that people enjoying fictional characters doing anything is wrong really, but even so, I try to research and push healthy communication, safe/sane/consensual behavior, the biological differences in sensations etc.
My concern is: could they be right? Or is it healthy/"normal" to explore this through fic?
Okie doke. This is a topic that I get a lot of questions about, so I'm going to share my thoughts on the topic.
So.
You can write whatever you want for whatever reasons you want. Ever. At all. Fanfiction is a creative tool, and you don't have to explain yourself to other people.
you could be writing mlm smut because you're exploring your gender. or because you're not into imagining bodies that look like yours. or because those are the fictional characters that you identify with most. or that's what the majority of other fandom people prefer, and you like going with the flow. or you could just find it hot.
All of these are fine reasons to writing smut involving two cis men (or any demographic that you are not).
I already wrote a whole post on ethical objectification, and this ask touches on that topic. You can imagine things and get off to things that you probably wouldn't do in real life (i.e. getting up close and personal in the bedroom of two random dudes having sex), as long as you don't allow it to affect the way that you treat people in real life. There are no thought crimes. There is no board of arbiters who get to decide who is and isn't permitted to write content on a specific topic.
On identity...
There is a huge push for #OwnVoices in authorship, which is incredible. It's good to read about marginalized characters, written by people who share those identities. The characters will be more authentically written, and knowing that the author carries that identity gives the reader a special connection to the work. It's valuable, it's great, and it's necessary to exist.
That being said...
The response to the rise of #OwnVoices work, and the calls for that kind of work, have created a toxic backlash.
A thing I have seen many times: an author writes something that involves marginalized characters, or a sensitive situation, and then are lambasted by fans for "appropriating" that culture, or being insensitive, or writing something they aren't allowed to write. And then that author, who was not yet ready to come out about that aspect of their identity, or who wanted a modicum of privacy, is forced into revealing that fact just to stop the abuse from fans.
It's awful. It needs to stop.
If someone doesn't like that you (not a cis guy) are writing smut about two gay cis men, the way that they can communicate that is by not reading it. They don't have to read it or review it. They can kindly tell you that they won't beta that content for you. But it's not their write to tell you that you aren't permitted to create that content. Especially not from a person who doesn't even share the identity of your characters! Like, if a gay male friend were saying this to you, because your writing felt personally fetishizing to them, then it would be important to listen to and learn from that person, But there is a horrific wave of people who aren't in a marginalized group saying "it's appropriate and incorrect for you to do this thing, because my ethics say it's wrong, despite the fact that I am not the person affected by it, and I don't have all of the information on the topic."
So.
Those are my complicated thoughts on the matter.
Write what you want to write, try and be sensitive when writing fic that depicts people from marginalized groups that you aren't in, and don't listen to that friend.

Not me @ almost 4am going "BESTIE WAKE UP, MY FAVE FIC UPDATED" to my friend who I just called on Discord fjffjfj
Ahhh the pain, the fluff, the more pain, the slip up, the struggle, the EVERYTHING
Inhaling this chapter like copium right now
I am completely speechless at how good everything was!! Seer's controled anger? Hot damn shoot me with that wrist gun of yours and I'll say thank you. Move Macaque, it's my time to get mawled by Seer!
The Titas fangirling I adore themmmmm I wanna hug them oml
Also mmmm Seer's been giving me some big neurodivergent vibes and I'm here for it yasssss
I can't wait to see what's in store for chapter 11 :blurryeyes:
~💮
My Titas once bugged me about my friend and when I accidentally said “he’s babysitting his baby sister” they went fucking feral 😔 they didn’t know he was gay until he arrived at my birthday with his boyfriend HAHA
Something abt controlled anger makes me feel something. And because I a fool, I depict Seer as someone who is the epitome of my gender envy so I’m kinda 👁👁
Bcoabdkwndh is it neurodivergent? I do those little things that Reader does lmao very well known to do happy tappy hands and feet or the rocking chair.
Side to side like a fuckin’ pendulum kek
Chapter 11 is the calabash episode with a touch of practicing with Mei. YIN AND JIN HERE I FUCKIN’ COME.
I love them ✨

Then do Auditor
Ez
Show us your thoughts
Ty for this wonderful opportunity
However,Woopsies this one took a while, had to condense my thoughts here and there because I don’t wanna share everything just yet (I want to talk about them more later down the line)
First Impression: I seem to have a trend of not paying much attention to one character at first and then becoming obsessed with them the next time. Anyways I just thought of the Auditor as the silly flame guy. Who had a whole agency to kill one single guy (what a loser (affectionate) Idk i just thought they looked really cool (gender envy) (another factor of me realizing I wasnt cis)
Impression Now: MANY MANY THOUGHTS, several discord messages with my friends are just about me rambling about Auditor, hell I have like 2 or 3 docs with hc’s/analysis’ about Auditor. But basically, I like to think that they’re the youngest of the employers (yes they’re all siblings, i love the employer siblings hc so much) and i think that sorta facts in with how they’re like rlly stupid and just kinda incompetent (like have you seen how much he struggled to fight hank in his mag form?) plus its been mentioned that they’re the only one of the employers to actually interfere directly with Nevada, which kinda gives me that “younger sibling that wants to prove themselves to the others but ends up messing up horribly as they’re very impulsive and kinda foolish” Also think they’re like secretly very interested in nevada and the people there, sorry i just kinda think they fit the like ‘sheltered disney royalty’ trope. ALSO!!! I think they rely too much on just how much command and how they’re like a literal god, and they just rely on that sorta status when really it weren't for all that, she would be almost powerless i think, Which i think rlly factors into how we seem him struggle a lot in fights against hank and why like in project nexus they just make people take care of everything for her. Also ermm I think they’re also like rlly into flashy entrances like the whole pillar scene thing where it rises and theres like flames everywhere, what a showboat (affectionate). So in conclusion, secretly very curious and a bit foolish while also thinking they’re above everyone else and having a really really short temper. Also ermmm took the lil tidbit of Auditor liking sugary things as a secret soft side, which I will talk about later and also ermm also gets embarrassed easily. Sorry I'm all over the place woopsies.
Favorite moment: FAVORITE MOMENT IS DEFINITELY THE WHOLE LIKE UHHH AUDITOR RISING ON THAT PILLAR AND WAVING THEIR SWORD AS LIKE A BUNCH OF FLAMES CAME UP. THAT SCENE WAS SO SO SO GOOD!! ALSO WHEN THEY TURN INTO A LITTLE BLOB AND SLIDE AROUND!!!
Idea for a story: MANY IDEAS, like one that explores the sibling dynamics in the employer family + Maker (yes i think Maker is the “father” of the employers) (he just created them from thin air and went “My kids!!! I love em!!”) anyways a lot of stories for that, sorry I love family content. For other stories, I have a bunch of au ones like the one where Auditor and Phobos temporarily took care of the knight in my madcom x hk au. Also have a few ideas of how I think Auditor views humans/nevadas and all the things that confuse them. Also a few on his day to day and like her decreasing mental state (sorry they’re my fave character ever and that means they have to suffer through the horrors) oh and a lot, a lot, a lot of Auditor/Phobos ideas, love these 2 sm. Yet also ermm will put them through the horrors (I have several solo fics about Auditor dealing with Phobos death and post fall of Nexus time) but also just a lot of stories exploring their dynamic and how i think it would develop
Unpopular opinion: Ummmm not sure here honestly since I havent heard too many people talk about Auditor sadly but ermm I guess just like a lot of people kinda brush over Auditor a lot and ermmm it makes me so sad because they’re actually so so so interesting, idk it that counts as an unpopular opinion or whatever but like eh
Favorite relationship: If you’ve been on my blog for a while, I think we all know what I'm going to say. AUDITOR AND PHOBOS!!!!! Love love love these 2 so so so much. Guys I need more people to like this pairing so I can ramble about it more. LIKE GRGHAHH love these 2 evil bastards being in love. So many hc’s about them (I have dedicated doc for them) (and a bunch of short ideas) (might share some them here tbh…) But graghhh love thinking that Auditor decided to interfere with Nevada and ended up having to work with Phobos’ annoying ass only to slowly fall in love with him. Sorry, I just really like to think about how their relationship would develop. Phobos would go from teasing and joke flirting with Auditor for Auditor to turn it around on him, until the Auditor deemed it “far too unprofessional” and called a truce. (they still hated each other but they decided to might as well try to put up with each other for the sake of this “business” relationship (ended with them growing closer and learning more about the other) (which led them to find solace in each other’s company, and enjoy their little friendship until they realized wait a minute I'm like actually in love with you, how is this happening) LIKE GRGAHHH love these 2, their dynamic is so silly.
Favorite hc: All of mine (/hj) but tbh the good thing about having a favorite character that isn't talked about, is that you get to make all the hc’s yourself. And oh boy do I have a few (MANY) but we’re doing favorites so I’ll keep this as short as possible. Auditor has a more dragon like form, which he just has large wings, a tail and horns, which means he can fly around YIPEEE!!!Also its very easy to tell Auditor’s emotions just by looking at their flames, flames will like flicer much more slowly and droop a bit when stressed/tired, when they’re furious, their flames will rise and spark violently, when they see something they like (or someone (hi phobos), little heart shaped sparks will emit from their flames, etc etc. Also like I mentioned before, very curious about mortals in nevada, despite seeing them as below them, Auditor finds them very interesting especially Phobos (they’re gay) ALSO!!! An awful cook, they just summon food they like out of thin air and will set the kitchen on fire if they try to cook anything. Also of course the usual touch starved and attention craving hc, this guys craves some sort of affection. Also!!! Definitely gets teased about her crush on Phobos by their employer siblings. Oh and woops angst jumpscare but Auditor would pick up Phobos’ smoking habit (yes I hc that he smokes) after Phobos dies as a coping mechanism. Couldnt let you guys off that easily. (evil little grin)

Share ten different favorite characters from ten different pieces of media in no particular order Then send this to 10 people (anon or not, your choice) 🎥🎬📺
Whooping, cheering, hollering, a chance for me to yell about my faves ❤️ here are my faves in no particular order:
Eddie Munson, Stranger Things - This one is obvious. He's a character I really connect with as someone who was also the school freak throughout most of my time at school. He also gives me big gender envy and I've never been so attached to a character like I am with Eddie.
Dorian Pavus, Dragon Age: Inquisition - I love this man to the moon and back. He's witty, funny, intelligent, handsome as hell, but most importantly he's an incredibly important character for me. A gay, POC character, who fights for what's in his heart and who he is regardless of what his countrymen back in Tevinter think of him. (Also fun fact they based him and some of his design on Freddie Mercury)
Sagacious Zu, Jade Empire: Ah, one of the first edgy sad men I had a crush on when I was younger. I love all of the Jade Empire characters, but Zu especially holds a place in my heart. He's also the first fictional character death I cried over.
Morgana, BBC's Merlin - I love Morgana. She's a great, complex character and her transition from good to villain will forever be iconic to me. Her whole character arc in the show and the way the writers sewed the seeds for her to become a villain very early on is what inspires me to write badass, morally grey women with the potential to become a villain if the story calls for it.
Solomon Wreath, Skulduggery Pleasant - Can't have a favourite character list without a character from my favourite book series! SP and the character of Solomon were my first introduction to necromancy and the concept that life and death flow into one another rather than being completely separate concepts. Even now, when I reread the books for what must be the millionth time at this point, he's still the one I loom forward to meeting again.
Bella Goth, The Sims franchise - She is beauty. She is grace. She disappeared in Sims 2 and I adore the lore surrounding her and what happened to her. Plumbella has some amazing videos on it and there's also a v cool Sims 4 Machina called Bella Goth Reborn on YouTube that is absolutely incredible and you should all watch it.
Vergil, Devil May Cry - This man. This man is hot. I love a hero to villain arc, but what I love more is a villain to ally arc. Vergil going from villain to ally in more than one game and his motivation being having the power he never had to save his mother as a child are I credibly interesting to me and what make his character more complex than a character such as Dante or Lady. Those layers that the fandom explores are what make me love him so much (also he's hot).
River Song, Doctor Who - Listen. She has me in a chokehold. She's a badass woman and the moment I first saw her onscreen I was in love. Getting to explore more of her character through watching the show amd having to wait for that pay off while trying to figure out who she was with the clues that we were given is one of the fondest memories I have of watching Doctor Who when I was younger.
Raikou Shimizu, Nabari No Ou - My favourite ever manga and honestly, hand on heart, the one manga I recommend to everyone. It's a beautiful manga and choosing a fave is difficult, but it has to be Raikou. He's once again a fascinating, multi-layered character, and I think he's a v good example of a character that appears to be a villain at first but at the end of the day is just trying to do what's best and make the world a better place just like the other teens and young adults in the manga are.
Giorno Giovanna, JJBA Vento Aureo - Giorno is the best Jojo you can't change my mind. Also the fact that had he been included in Part 6 of the manga the whole ending likely would've changed dramatically is smth I think about a lot. I adore Giorno's character and he is what made me enjoy Part 5 so much. I've even got a figure of him in my childhood bedroom and a poster of him in my uni bedroom. I often wonder what his relationship with his father would've been like had he not been killed off in Part 3 and if they'd ever met.
