Call me Mad.This blog is a safe haven from reality- a break from stressors, a place to set down the guilt and anxiety and just enjoy my little handful of beloved fandoms and OCs. Take a breath, relax- you've earned it.Mentally sit around a bonfire, or sit on a window seat and watch the rain, sipping hot cocoa. Wander through a glade of calm and allow yourself to be a child again for a moment.@chikincatart on Instagram@Rainy_day_soft_blanket on AO3

The worst part of engaging with fandom internet culture is that I have never engaged with omegaverse content but I do have headcanons

so i had a Thought about kpop demon hunters
the patterns appear on a normal person after they make a deal with gwi-ma, and spread due to shame and also just. Soul Get Yoinked.
Rumi was born with the patterns and they spread due to shame as well.
When is the only time we see Jinu openly sporting his demon patterns in his human form?
When he's just betrayed Rumi.
He never wanted to. He was ashamed. But Gwi-ma had been in his head so long his thought patterns were twisted into having no hope that he could ever be free to do anything but obey.

Anyway it's 1 am and I was thinking
Why are shadows or shadow-symbolized characters always edgy? Shadows stick with you no matter what. Shadows dance. Shadows can seem playful. We use shadows for silly jokes and fun puppet shows. My kitty hides in my shadow on hot days. Shadows are just the flip side of the human coin. Why do we treat them like they're scary or angsty by nature? We projected our own darkness into them but they're just shades of us.

aja and krel would love kpop demon hunters btw. krel for the kpop and aja for the demon hunters. Somewhere along the way they both start crying because they both relate to Rumi a little too hard.
their next move is to get douxie to watch it. krel lures him in with promises of well-produced, fun songs. aja just uses puppy eyes. Douxie gets way too invested in jinu and yells at the screen during That Last Scene.
somehow they drag the others to a watch party and that's as far as the braincell got today

to my ftgoa readers (looking at you @smokefurball and @fandomchatfabi 🫰)
i just figured out a whole heckin theme of ftgoa while writing a jlaire scene and listening to OSP's detail diatribe about The Last Unicorn that came out yesterday. namely that this universe (tales of arcadia) is deeply driven by people coming back for each other. Tons of the major character beats in the franchise can be pinned down to one character returning to another character. i cannot tell if i am cooking or hallucinating

thought a little too hard about kpop demon hunters. very interesting to me that the lyrics in Your Idol go "pray FOR me now" and not "pray TO me now". almost sounds like jinu is sending out a plea to anyone who will listen to pray for his soul. or something

my daughters
anyway i had an idea for a third Cybertronian faction, the Cosmechs, that split off from Cybertron before the civil war broke out. The idea is that they aim to preserve and expand Cybertronian science and knowledge. Their vibes are based on Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis, Babylon 5, and Star Trek TNG, loosely.
The Cosmechs' lighting is (usually) reflective of the color of stars rather than the standard Autobot/Decepticon red vs blue. Among Cosmechs, red is for lower energy, older age, wisdom; blue for high intelligence, energy, and drive; yellow, orange and white, also exist, and other colors tend to take after the colors observed in nebulae. Black eyes with red or gold glow, like black holes, are essentially the Cosmech version of Decepticons' corruption-y red eyes vibe.

I watched transformers one. I think it fixed my art block. We'll find out soon.
Also I'm inventing a new cybertronian faction so that should be fun
