a friend who'd wait :)

[inbabylontheywept]

my grandpa was a good man. and it really wasnt his fault - recreationally lying to kids is a proud family tradition - but he told me, once, that cutting a worm in half resulted in two worms.

i think he said it so i'd be more morally okay with fishing? i actually dont remember the context.

point was, he told me this, and he understimated (by a very large margin) how much i liked worms. i was a worm boy. very wormy. and after hearing that, i went home, and i dug through the garden, flipped over every rock, did everything i could to gather as many worms as i could, and then i uh.

i cut them all in half. every worm i could find. all of them. with scissors.

i then took this pile of split worms, and i put them in a box with a bit of lettuce and some water and stuff and went to bed expecting to double my worms overnight. i have math autism, so i had a vague understanding that if i did this just a few times in a row, i would eventually have a completely unreasonable amount of worms.

i was very excited to become this plane's worm emperor.

(i think i was...six?)

anyway, i did not become the inheritor of the worm crown. i instead woke up to a box of dead worms and cried. a lot. i got diagnosed with panic attacks as a teenager, but i think i had them as a kid, i just had no idea what they were. i was kind of processing that a.) i had killed what i had assumed was every single worm in my yard, and thus would have no more worms, and b). i was going to like, worm hell.

(six year babylon spent a lot of time worrying about god.)

so i kind of freaked out, and i climbed a tree, because god can only smite you if you're touching the ground (?) and i sat up there mostly inconsolable until my mom came out and asked, hey, what's up? what happened?

so i explained to her that i had killed all of the worms, forever, and was also Damned, and she took me to the compost pile, and we dug for all of five seconds and found like twenty more worms.

the compost pile was full of worms.

she then told me that a). there were more worms, and we could put them back under rocks and stuff and recolonize our yard and b). that one day, i would die, and go to heaven, and be able to talk to the worms face to face. that i'd be able to tell them all that i was very sorry, and that i killed them on accident, driven only by excessive Love, and that she was positive they would forgive me because worms have six hearts and no malice.

at that point, i think i was sixty percent tear-snot by weight, and i had no choice but to gather enough worms that i could hug them. which my mom helped with. and then after that she helped me put some worms back under each rock.

and for my epilogue: i spent a significant portion of my childhood in trees. and for many years after, even when my mom didnt know i was watching, i would catch her giving the space under the rocks a light spritz with the hose. not because she loved worms.

but because she loved me.

❗️For commonly asked qs please see my BTD FAQ

After doodling the first image that hug body slam meme immediately came to mind and i couldn't help myself 😂

Thanks very much I'm glad you are enjoying my art and characs! :D

To put the answer simply, Rire used to work for the prior King as a Collector (of souls) and he was that King's only Collector and so got the brunt of his ire for any related, perceived fault. Aside from that personal connection Rire also really disliked him because he viewed the prior king as a useless glutton who failed at ruling a sector (conditions were tanking/had tanked for ages), and which the Royal powers were wasted on.

Almost all of his sunglasses are actually normal human sunglasses, he can just see better than a human can 😎

Anything can be a kink, anon :d

Boring victims are often exceptionally weak-willed victims so that's something in particular he dislikes.

Yes he can play the piano and violin, and horseback ride and ballroom dance etc. Put it this way he has a lot of particular small skills that he picked up during his Earth visits so he could hide in plain sight with the upper echelons XD

Not like how a snake or cat hisses which is what I'm assuming you're implying XDDD He can't bite off a limb (his mouth ain't that big) but his teeth are very sharp so he can feasibly take a chunk out of someone or like, completely bite off something smaller (finger, ear...)

I havent added to it in a while (since I dont often find songs I like enough to actually download lol) but this is my current playlist for him in no particular order:

Anon, the fact you capitalised "Aliens" made me think of Xenomorphs and I had to immediately stop thinking 🤣

On a side note, I can't actually tell you either way because he hasn't encountered an alien (that isn't a demon or a human) lol. He'd probably initially treat an alien much like he would treat a common demon, if they are obviously not human, and then if he realises they are also not quite a demon this could peak his interest.

Pointing you in this direction because regardless of the canon answer this proves he could look good in one LMAO

Sorry to burst your bubble but no :d Though I suppose he could simulate the effect by reverting parts of them to their "liquid" state 🤔 DO WITH THAT INFO WHAT YOU WILL.

It is theoretically similar to a human's.

If you can remember his age then that is how old he is :d I'm not really like other creators who give their characs a definitive "birthday" down to the year, mainly because I don't often have set "time periods" in my stories lol.

His birth date falls somewhere between late October - late November though.

In the context of BTD; they just don't like each other XD Well I can't actually speak for Cain, but Rire not liking Cain is partly a riff on general angel/demon rivalry dynamics, and partly because Rire would see Cain as more of a threat since canonically Cain is way more OP than him.

Most of the time when i draw them Cain is also actively getting in Rire's space whilst Rire is actively trying to avoid him, so there's also that XD

It...depends. On which aspect of "ownership" you're implying. For those that he has deals with, he'd calculate what exactly the value of the deal lost would be and in this situation he'd likely write them off as Cain would be more annoying to handle then they'd be worth (he can always make more deals).

If someone was specifically marked by Rire, that's a different level of possessiveness and he'd actually try cos like

Hey guys some offence but why are some of you sending me asks formatted as if i were ChatGPT

Is there one for like, personal ambition or cunning or something cos I don't think he'd be any of those listed lol.

Rire doesn't have a mobile phone and he doesn't need one because he has a demon power that basically CCTVs all his citizens to himself. And really, if he wants to find you he'll find you.

He's somewhere in the middle of that scale through the sheer fact that he's been around long enough to see technology change and would've kept up with how to use things to blend in better, but also doesn't need to use the electronics to the point that he'd need to be an expert at it.

Is this cos Gato is Canadian cos I don't remember a country location being specified when we did it? |D Personally I figured most of the settings were in the US since the US has the most documented serial killers

Also sos no i dont anon, you'll need to either ask Gato or EP or dig through any of their lore posts they might have left.

Think kind of like Rire (he did learn a lot from her after all), but with a more Elizabethan era socialite vibe. Possibly a black widow but we dont have any proof about that.

Has/had a p good relationship. I use both terms because I still never decided whether she was currently dead or not lol.

Lol a misconception but Rire doesn't actually perceive humans as trash XD Trash suggests that he hates them and they wouldn't be worth regarding at all, whereas Rire usually finds them more like...novelties. Or like whatever that feeling that is associated with viewing ant farms or animals performing tricks is. Rire's mother would view them as more like working animals or livestock.

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

hi ms raven :D i was playing through vil's dream in book 7 and i was wondering if you could explain a little more about his character? i remember struggling to understand his motivs leading up to his overblot. the current understanding i have now is that vil wants to be the best or the most beautiful but is constantly getting blocked by neige probably because hes not perfect and it makes others lean towards him and want to support him while vil has reached a level where hes seemingly flawless on the outside making it hard for people to get close to him the way they do with neige? does he crave the validation from others and is that why there was an emphasis on him declaring that he himself is the most beautiful like in b6 and b7? i dont think i really understand him enough and its just been on my mind for a while now TT

I think Vil's got one of those backstories and motives that's easy to misunderstand if skimmed. This can lead to misinterpretations where fans assume he's vain and only seeking to take Neige down for shallow attention. It's a lot more complex than that!

The first thing to note about Vil is that he is a child star. His father, Eric Venue, is also a very successful celebrity, but the public does not know about their familial relationship. Vil has worked very hard to achieve his level of stardom all on his own, without relying on nepotism or riding on the coattails of his father. However, that also means that Vil was under an intense amount of pressure and scrutiny since a young age, and that can really mess with one's self-perception.

Since the start of his career, Vil has only ever been casted in villain roles. His post-OB flashback shows Vil asking his dad "Why do I keep getting picked to play the bad guy? Do I really look that mean?"

And though his father reassures him and calls him cute and charming, the vast majority of other people Vil interacts with judge him and assign labels to him. Children Vil's age "hold [him] accountable for work(s) of fiction", equating him playing villainous roles on TV to him actually being a villainous person off-set.

Similar things occur in his professional life. Film crew members praise Neige for his friendliness and wholesome vibe, but also express that Vil is just too perfect and hard for audiences to relate to, so Vil apparently isn't suitable to play the hero.

So on one hand, you have Vil's peers, who assume that he must be an awful person, just like all the characters he plays. Then you have Vil's colleagues, who put him on a pedestal, calling him "special" but also saying he's not relatable. Both viewpoints isolate and dehumanize him. They indirectly tell Vil--a young, impressionable kid--that he's not capable of goodness or of being a normal person. You also have to keep in mind that because Vil always has eyes on him, he has to maintain a cool, mature, and perfectly curated public image. He has had to grow up extremely fast in order to handle himself in the entertainment industry. That's an INTENSE amount of pressure to be under. So how does Vil react to all this pressure? By pushing himself to work even harder to prove everyone wrong. "I would do anything to be beautiful. The most rigorous training. The most tedious hair and skin care regimens. I would shy away from none of it." This is later repeated in the Tapis Rouge event: “[…] looking for the easy way out. Something I detest. […] I love to see someone with a lofty goal who’s not afraid to work for it.”

At this juncture, I'd like to point out a vital area where Vil's story and that of Snow White weave together. In Snow White, physical beauty is used as shorthand to indicate the goodness of a character. Snow White is pure, beautiful, and innocent because she has a good heart. The Evil Queen is more accurately depicted in her hag form because of how her jealousy twists her into something hideous. When Vil speaks of beauty, it's also in a similar context. He's using "beauty" as a metaphor for "goodness", hence why he fixates on Neige being the "fairest one of all". Neige is the one always playing the hero, and he is also the one the internet considers the most beautiful--so if Vil can become the most beautiful, then surely he, too, can be a hero.

If beauty = goodness, then the opposite is also true to book 5 Vil: ugliness = villainy. And if he is always assigned the villain again and again and again, then its telling Vil that he's “ugly”, that he is a bad person and can never be anything but that.

Not only that, but Vil's worries about permanently being labelled a villain relates back to how his peers and colleagues perceive him. "[...] villains never stay on stage for the whole play. Once their role is finished, all they do is watch from the shadows as the happy ending plays out. [...] All I want is to stay on stage until the end of the show." Vil wants what has always been denied to him: the ability to stand on stage and take a bow with the other actors, to be treated like a normal person that's a part of the group, to have that humanity handed back to him. Why should he be the only one languishing backstage while Neige and other heroes get to soak up that spotlight? He wants to be a part of it, too. He wants to be included.

Let's get back into book 5, present day, now. Vil spends much of this book driving his teammates VERY hard to achieve his vision. To this end, he is imposing harsh restrictions on them, such as new diets, new skincare, new practice routines, and more. This of course garners many protests, but Vil insists on having his way and admonishes those who complain. In these moments, Vil is very much acting like a "villain"--but to him, it's all worth it, because he wants to win against Neige fair and square, earning that victory through his own efforts. "[...] I have no interest in spells that fade when the clock chimes midnight. What I seek is genuine, authentic aesthetic perfection."

Recall that I said earlier that beauty is used as a shorthand for goodness. Because Vil is stating that he wants to win fairly, he is attempting to demonstrate his own beauty--his own goodness--in this bid to triumph over his rival.

But what ends up happening? Vil sees Neige's practice performance and realizes right away that NRC is destined to lose. He tries to take matters into his own hands by cursing a bottle of apple juice and offering it to Neige. While book 5 is vague about what the consequences of drinking that cursed juice would have been, book 7 implies the worst--that Vil had intended to kill Neige with it. Vil went against his own principles (which he stated earlier in book 5) and used a dirty tactic to get Neige out of his way. He can only win if he harms others in the process. I would argue that what triggers Vil to snap and OB isn't his failure to poison Neige (although that's certainly a part of it), but rather Vil realizing he just... proved what everyone has always said about him right. That he's rotten to the core (ie "ugly") and will never be anything else but a villain.

Vil fixates on the eyes of his teammates, perceiving them to be staring at him and judging the moral ugliness of his actions. Like in his childhood, he derives much of his image from public feedback--from the eyes on him. "Please. Don't look at me... Don't look at me with those eyes! Why? I wanted to be the fairest one of all, so why am I so... so... ugly? Ugly?! UGLY?!"

Kalim and Rook try to reassure Vil and remind him that Neige didn't get hurt, so it's okay. But Vil only gets more upset and continues to berate himself. "What does it matter who forgives me?! I can't... I can't forgive myself!" This makes sense for Vil, who is a character that has consistently held the people around him, as well as himself, to high standards. He has betrayed himself, and he is ashamed of how ugly his envy has made him.

After Vil's OB, Rook pretty succinctly states why Vil fails to be "beautiful": because he doesn't believe in himself. Throughout his entire life, Vil has been relying on the words of others to affirm his identity as someone "beautiful", as a "good" person. You can even argue that Vil being so strict with himself is to earn the approval of others, to be seen as the "most beautiful". But Vil never truly believed he was "beautiful" ("good"), and that lack of confidence is ironically what is keeping him from realizing his full potential. "Nobody should believe in your beauty more than you yourself [...] No amount of validation from the rest of the world will ever leave you fulfilled. Even if you wind up old, emaciated, grimy, and stooped over... If you were to truly believe that you are the fairest of all despite that, even the Magic Mirror of legend wouldn't contest your claim. The strength and pride to believe in yourself is what marks the true fairest one of all. Roi du Poison. Fair Vil. I implore you to believe in yourself more than anyone else. Beauty is always with you. At this exact moment, you are the fairest one of all."

In book 6, we get to see how far Vil's character has progressed. When Idia taunts Pomefiore, calling them "wannabe heroes", Vil responds with, "You know, I've always wanted to be cast as a hero, just once. But there are no heroes or villains here. This time I'll be the one who stays on stage till the very end!" He now disregards the notion of labels and is only committed to being the one that puts an end to Idia's machinations.

This point is even further driven home when we see old!Vil, the result of him diving into Tartarus to pull Idia out. Though his dorm members are shocked to see their glamourous leader in this state, Vil laughs it off and announces, without hesitation: "Even though I'm grimy, withered, and emaciated... At this exact moment, I am the fairest one of all." This parallels the words Rook imparted onto him at the end of book 5. ("Even if you wind up old, emaciated, grimy, and stooped over... [...] At this exact moment, you are the fairest one of all.")

It's a complete reversal of Vil OBing. Back in book 5, Vil went mad because he realized his jealous actions made him hideous (even if he still physically looks young and conventionally attractive). But now, in book 6, Vil is content in knowing that his heroic actions make him absolutely beautiful (even if he stands there, old and grey). It doesn't matter what he looks like on the outside, or what other people think of him--because Vil has learned to love himself and to stay true to his principles.

He is deserving of standing on that stage with everyone else. He is human, like everyone else. He’s not THE Vil Schoenheit anymore, he’s… just Vil. This also shows in vulnerable moments late game, like him squealing from excitement at the end of book 6 or screaming in fear in book 7. He still has the image of a celebrity to maintain, but he’s now allowing himself to be less of that “perfect” person, at least around his peers. I believe this is what Vil’s dream in book 7 reinforces. This is most exemplified when Vil faces his OB self and announces, “Oh… This is deplorable. I’m so steeped in envy and resentment there isn’t a trace of beauty to be found. But I won’t turn away from it any longer. I accept this nauseatingly ugly part part of myself. This is… the real me.” I won't get into the details of that dream, since I assume you've played it + it would just repeat what I've already gone over in this post. That’s honestly what most (if not all) of the book 7 dreams do, try to summarize their personal issues, how the dream attempts to placate them with convenient falsehoods, and then have the dreamers confront those falsehoods with what they’ve learned through their own arcs.

[lavandulawrites]

(Not sure if this was asked before, hope u dont mind) im a bit tired of the 'always weak Reader'. Like, why is the reader always so weak? The other characters always more strong- its not fair at all. So i wanted to ask, would u love the tought of the Reader finally being more stronger then characters? (Yandere's, of course.) for once, Reader is hard to catch, better at everything whether attacking running and etc, maybe even playfull like bratty but not rotten and actually kind to others- chaotic personality i guess.. Maybe it can be somehow inspiration to you. I hope u have a good day :3 (and please dont mind my bad english)

This is a very good question, anon.

I do get why many authors make the ‘reader’ weak. There may be serval reasons as to why such as: it may make writing ‘reader’ easier as they don’t have to have a strong personality (after all docile characters don’t necessarily need too much thoughts to them to make it work), if we are talking about a yandere context it may make the yandere seem more intimidating, it may be a preference by the author. After all we all have our own preferences. It would be extremely boring if everyone agreed on anything. I personally don’t mind weak ‘readers’ at all.

I personally hate the overly bratty/ bitchy/ rude ‘readers’ and I find them annoying (I’m thinking of the stereotypes, like Wattpad and etc.). I think it’s extremely frustrating how a female character almost always has to be physically strong and a ‘badass’ in order to be considered a ‘strong/ powerful woman’. I think that a female character is 100% able to be considered strong without being a warrior with non-feminine qualities. Being a strong female lead is not about how many men she can kill or how much she bench presses, it’s about being true to herself and being kind without letting others step over her (not saying that women can’t be physically strong obviously). She needs to stand her ground and not let anyone ruin her dreams hand her belief in her self.

I think the new Snow White movie is a good example. They made her be a strong leader who doesn’t need a romantic relationship. Which is in itself nothing wrong (I love a strong leader), but it’s too contradicting to the original story. Yes, Snow White was no fighter, but she was kind and helped everyone around her. She didn’t let the dwarfs boss her around, but instead lived in harmony with them. Is she the best example for a strong female lead, no, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t a strong female character.

My point is that I’m so incredibly sick and tired of seeing these ‘strong female leads’ that are only considered strong if they act ‘manly’ or is a fighter. Katniss on the other hand is a strong woman, but it’s not purely for her fighting abilities. It’s her morality and mental strength that makes her powerful. (I really do love Katniss and I think she is definitely one of the best female leads).

Little Women is also another great example. The sisters are all so different, but at the same time extremely strong in their own accepts.

And remember a weak character doesn’t mean she can’t be strong. That is a misconception that irritates me. Take Yui from Diabolik Lovers. Many people call her weak, but I disagree. In the games her personality really shines through and it’s impossible to say that she isn’t a strong female lead.

So will I make ‘reader’ or [Name] a strong female lead? The answer is yes, but not necessarily the way you might think. There are many ways to make a character strong that isn’t just purely physical strength and that’s extremely important to remember. Robin is a strong female character and it isn’t because of her physical strength.

Will [Name] be a feminist? Absolutely. I would never make a female character that isn’t a feminist.

Anyways, I hope I answered your questions anon and I hope you have a great day as well!❤️

If anyone has any other questions about Astralis Desires, please let me know! I will be happy to answer them❤️

Weirdest fucking thing happen to me today

I fell asleep and ended up Lucid dreaming (i think? Its the first time it ever happened to me and i was able to control what i was doing so idk),

For a while it was just normal random dream logic until at some point someone said my real name in the dream. (This made realize until then nobody used my real name and instead a mix of different alias i have) and just said "we need to find [my name]"

Also for context i rarelly remember my dream but when i do they always take place in the same place, so much i managed to make a map of the dreamworld irl by patching it every now and then, and its pretty detailled.

Anyway since i almost know by heart what the world look like and since it was the first time i was in actual control while dreaming i decided to explore the part i had never gone to, still random dream locations but that's how the rest of the dream went

Except every now and then someone in the crowd talked about finding or searching or hunting or learning about me, and its was always distinct because that would be the only time they'd use my real name, i remember they would sometimes even ask me where [real name] me was, and didn't seems to understand that that was me

My dream ended abruptly with me going down an escalator when a feminine voice suddenly said "i found you [real name]", followed by silence for a few seconds and then a loud bell sound. And then i woke up

I woke up with a sense of dread i never felt before, it was kinda like the kind of fear you get when doing a sleep paralysis but somehow it was deeper

Idk what it was but it was weird and pretty scary im still slightly afraid of whatever happened, and i can almost hear the bell in the back of my mind. I'm kinda scared of sleeping tonight because i really dont want it to happen again

The Hunt.

[orangepeelknives]

i can see the first couple words of any asks people send me in my notifs but cant actually read them all or respond to them, but a few people have asked about my writing process, writing fast, characterization process, ect, and since i just finished a little characterization exercise fic yesterday (hohmann transfer orbit) i thought i'd talk about it!!

i started writing fic wat back when ff.net was still relevant and when i was about sixteen i participated in nanowrimo for the first time, and pumped out my first long fic! and i loved it, i loved writing, and when the month was over i just kinda kept writing at the same pace? ever since ive tried to do at minimum 2k words a day, even if it's just school assignments! i enjoy it, it makes me a better critical thinker, it exercises parts of my brain that math and science dont! i posted about this a while back but in hs i got long acrylics and discovered voice to text, and ever since i've used that a LOT. so i'll map out my scenes in my head, think up the dialogue, little sentences, and then a lot of times i'll VTT them out. ive been doing this for years and have a lot of practice, so this is how i write pretty fast! i'll VTT most of the story, and then heavily edit it to make it flow, change words, ect. this is how i'll put out a 35k story in a week, for example. years of writing for at least an hour or so a day, and very polished VTT skills. also, this is a misconception i think, but i had most of better half written before publishing it! and i had all of it mapped out in my brain!

now, i think most people want to know about my willmack specific process so here goes!

first of all, even tho i havent had a tumblr for long, ive been following the willmack of it all since fall. im irl extremely into the sporty side of hockey so obvi i was keeping up with mr first overall, and the way that he and will were acting was veryyy interesting to lil ole undergrad sports psych minor me. this is around the time i started READING hockey rpf, and willmack stuck out to me as hey, i could write it too! i'm a scientist (pending phd so only kind of) and i luvvvv field notes so i essentially turned them into my lab rats lol. 

i have a characterization doc in my drive with media quotes, events, dates, body language observations, relationships, interviews, ect where i put together my chara notes -- some are what i think is 1000% real (will being a planner, mack being a spaz -- things we have proof of) and some which i more infer or like, take further than what we know to be true (will emotionally regulating mack in private -- how would we know?? mack being snappy to the team after bad losses -- likely, but again, not certain, will being observant about mack's wants/needs -- we know he's observant, we know he remembers things (games, plays, ect), we know he takes mental notes, but i take it a step further abd apply it to mack). every time some new plane hits the wacklin towers, i add this event to my field notes and try to pull from it. a good example is the worlds tiktok, i'll add their body language, words, tone of voice, ect, and try to extrapolate. will -- looking right at the camera, small meepy but genuine looking smile, no fidgeting, "hope youre having fun", no indication hes insecure. mack -- all over the place, making his exasperation with this stupid tiktok kinda known, fleeting eye contact, fidgets, not as confident, hesitating before speaking, ect. for my chara notes, this reinforced that will sets the tone for both of them. with will out of the room, mack had a hard time setting the tone and was all over the place, downplaying, ect. mack has a harder time being sincere of his own volition. he lets will lead the friendship. then i take this, and try to put it into context! 

and as we all know, i LOVE an unreliable narrator. i almost always write from a third person limited perspective, and for me to really create accurate characterization, it's important for me to try to view things strictly thru the eyes of the character. as ive gotten better as a writer, this has moved from just events to pretty much everything. a different person would notice different things, actively think about differeng things, dwell on different things, ect. emotions look different on different people too. events look different too! memories too! peoples' tones! everything! so for example, when i write mack, when he's watching the sharksbplay thru his eyes, he pays a LOT of attention to will's hockey. youll notice in my writing, will's plays are embellished, have loads of detail, and look probably better than they are. this is because of the way mack views will, and views will's hockey! will's hockey is important to mack, so it gets more attention than other things would! and when i write will, he'll catalogue things about mack. facial expressions and body language and emotion -- in my characterization, note taker WSH is note taking mack too. of course mack notices things about will too but when i write will's pov, this is more intentional. 

to develop these povs and characterizations, i write a lot of chara exercises of sorts. i'll take a really basic, plotless scene, and try to fic out how i think each of them would exist within that scene, how they would interact with each other and other people, what they would say and do and feel. sometimes these chara exercises grow into longer fics (hohmann transfer, and a few ive added chappys to by request) but lots of times they serve no plot purpose but to help me develop them in my head and solidify behaviors and traits. 

anyways! cant imagine that anyone could have more questions after this gd essay, but if u do.....uh.....my inbox doesnt work rn. i miss u guys maybe i'll make a discord or smth. you can always comment questions on ao3, i'll keep an eye out for them!

[moonshynecybin]

would you mind sharing your marc marquez likes you power ranking?

im still working it out in my minddddd… so. with the caveat that i am just saying words recreationally:

alex

HUGE gap

aleix has known him FOREVER. theyre complex but im throwin him here bc there arent many men on the grid marc would let ass-lift him to the moon

im gonna say. fabio. traded helmets. always friendly. also fabio LOVES HIM and marc will usually match someone's energy…. have they hung out much this year? no. but we always have TOMORROW

enea… maybe… he’s ALSO known him about ten years by now and enea is like. the contrarian of the italians. friendly little guys having gay brunch together as ive discussed… again marc WILL meet your energy and i think enea is just kind of a dreamy lil sweetie sometimes and he can leave stuff on track pretty well. marc appreciates that i would wager…

about on par with enea if MAYBE slightly under him depending on who we’re talking about are the rest of the spanish/catalan riders... he helmet traded with jorge martin last year, he was teammates with joan... i think mileage varies depending on how long hes known em but we can go ahead and group them under distantly friendly but bonded by place of origin. pedro not really a marc fan but also a child so he maybe drops a few places but not too far.

luca. true neutral. would be friendlier but the vale of it all prevents them from wearing joint turtlenecks to some event in like. cunty solidarity

diggia? needs further investigation

pecco. do i think hes UNfriendly no. do i think they could easily GET unfriendly absolutely. they dont super jive to each other's jokes, pecco was mean to alex like three weeks ago, they genuinely would rather crash than let the other pass, and there's the specter of vale's little legacy coloring every interaction. that being said i think they are both VERY invested in not having the media recognize it as an actual personal rivalry and could play a game of cards in an airport waiting lounge if pressed. pecco i think in particular has this gentlemen's duel perspective, but marc simply doesnt want to get asked about it every weekend until he dies... pecco ALSO likes to get a lil bitchy in presscons and i think marc doesnt like that lol. have some couth. anybody remember BYE BYE HONDA ? not endearing

franky. marc and alex have had an INSANE relationship this year with franky including like. rushing to his aid in a medical emergency and numerous racing incidents where franky was low key being a maniac with BOTH of them. lots of that. franky had been around the longest of the academy kids so he has enough context to keep his cards relatively close to his chest but i get the sense hes a little WISER than some of these other punks so hes kind of an x-factor. ranking him below pecco purely bc i dont think marc in particular takes kindly to alex slander lol sorry 2 my frankyalex queens you are correct but MARC. is stupid thx

jack miller. called marc a whiny princess or something about his arm surgery that marc ranks among the most traumatic events of his life. im guessing marc did not enjoy that.

bez. no quarter for this clown.

[ofeliaxoxo]

On the mischievous question from your other ask, there are some more translation notes (and a longer part of that interview segment) here for anyone curious I think OP did such a nice job of trying to explain / provide context for non Italian speakers haha. Why were they doing sooo much with their reaction to that question lmao - https://www.tumblr.com/nottiinrosso/734854887978975232/sky-italia-abu-dhabi-preview-tumblr-doesnt-let?source=share

(Plus the other small character notes… Carlos saying he is more stubborn between the two of them… also rolling my eyes at him trying to sneakily raise his hand when they thought the question was "who like girls better"…)

The timing of the interview kind of also gets me. Like they look so relaxed here to me they're just having a good time even though they're not fully understanding all the Italian lol. None of it is actually that funny but it is when they're together because they make each other laugh through all the media they have to do. Like that's basically what they'd been doing for three years (at this point in time) finding ways to make all of the more annoying parts of their jobs Fun lol.

But this is also Abu Dhabi 2023 aka the last race weekend they had before both of them knew that they weren't going to be teammates anymore after 2024. Or maybe by late Nov Charles already knew that Lewis to Ferrari was basically a done deal idk. Obviously we'll never really know the precise timeline of it. So I guess at the very least it was Carlos' last race before knowing he'd be done driving for Ferrari and being teammates with Charles at the end of the following year. And remembering that makes me a little more :/ watching this stupid interview again lol… :/

slay thank you for the extra context!

i love this actually because they're both like. huh. half the time but that doesn't stop them from doing their best.

kind of dead at them thinking they're being asked who likes girls more. just a totally unreasonable question lmao but it shows how used to being asked ridiculous nonsense they are that they fully accept it without question. charles decides to mediate by saying look we have different types. whos to even say which of us is more of a fiend. while carlos is cautiously trying to claim Nasty Dog Championship.

what stands out to me is how they both instantly raise their hands when asked who's fastest but carlos also extends the little "both of us" branch which charles does Not do.

"None of it is actually that funny but it is when they're together because they make each other laugh through all the media they have to do." literally. and tangentially related to this point is a moment from one of the team torque eps where carlos is trying to answer a question but he cant think of anything so theres a moment of silence which he breaks by just directly saying to alex "help me". and what came to my mind was the comparison how instinctively and smoothly charles and carlos did help each other with media without ever having to say it.

"at the very least it was Carlos' last race before knowing he'd be done driving for Ferrari and being teammates with Charles at the end of the following year" :(

to sum up: me when i LEAN into my buddy and we have our own special jokeee we are sooo funny and you dont get it btw! just us:)

[laurelwen]

I feel dumb asking this but do u have any info or opinion about tvis image?? I dont really remember the context of the scene it appears in but I have been wondering who it could be or what it means i the movie. May be theres an obvious answer but I didnt want to make any conclusions.

So first off, this isn't a dumb thing to ask! It's worth looking at in detail and others might enjoy a little mini deep dive as well.

The image is a drawing on the wall in Nigel's secret room. We only see it when Sally investigates the room after Nigel is already dead and Alex is in custody. That part of the wall is never shown in the scene between Nigel and Alex, unfortunately. We can tell there are some sketches/papers on his walls, but the actual area of wall where this sketch is hung doesn't appear on camera.

Source

The drawing itself is based on a piece taken from The Anatomy of the Arteries of the Human Body, by author Richard Quain with illustrations by Joseph Maclise, published in 1844.

If you'd like to see the rest of the book, you can see all the art plates in the book here, with a link to the full digitized text as well.

Side by Side

The drawing isn't an exact match, as apparently the prop/set artists redrew the sketch to make it smaller and the area of dissection also smaller. While it was very clearly copied directly from this piece, the artist didn't quite replicate the exact facial features or even the anatomical details. Since it was used as set dressing and only seen for a split second on screen, I doubt it was given much importance--they were merely capturing the vibe of the art to support Nigel's characterization and further the macabre and gruesome atmosphere.

Meanings

It's part of the overall series of ephemera we are shown in his sketches and notebooks that highlight his interest in dissections, anatomy, etc. All of these sketches are meant to underline his "morbid fascination with all things dead."

The movie leaves us to decide whether we think he was copying this drawing from the book itself, or if he was sketching this from an actual dead human that he examined in person. We know from his notebooks that he did his own sketches of the animals he dissected, though it's hard to say if ALL of the images were his own work or if some were copied from books.

(I'm amused that Nigel Colbie was out here using regular old poster putty to put things up in his dorm room. It's so relatable and normal. He's truly just a guy.)

On the one hand, we know Nigel had access to the morgue. He knew where to find the tunnel entrance, knew that it would lead to the morgue and how to navigate the tunnels to get there, and he HAD A KEY. This absolutely suggests he had been there before. Perhaps he spent time studying and sketching the corpses. On the other hand, I find it unlikely that no one would notice if he had dissected the face and throat of a previously intact body, so it's hard to believe he could have done that and not alerted the staff to a security issue in their building. Another option is that he found one of these bodies already wounded in such a way that a study could be made without changing or disturbing it enough to be detected by staff later.

The simplest option is that he simply copied a drawing he found in a book, which is a standard practice for improving your art skills. Choose whichever possibility you find most believable and/or appealing.

One Final Note

I cannot decide if I think this was deliberate on the part of the production crew or simply a coincidence, but the original drawing does have hair that is vaguely reminiscent of Alex's style. In my opinion, the face doesn't really resemble him, though there are more similarities in the original than in the copy made for the film.

It feels unlikely to be a deliberate choice by the crew and I don't think it looks very much like Alex, but I feel like you could take that detail and run with it if you wanted. Invent head canons on why Nigel would sketch Alex with his throat sliced open, if that tickles your fancy. There's some fun to be had there.

[strwberri-milk]

hi berri! i wanted to ask what you think sylus and mc's first meeting would have been like if mc had recognized him?

would it be okay to ask if you'd mind doing a little drabble about that scenario? thanks for reading and thank you for your time :)

hi!! ik you requested a drabble but honestly he main reason why i dont do drabbles on request is bc i will sit here for a gazlillion hours and just not write it bc ive actually been fighting a writing slump for the better part of like, two years [sob] its why longer fics and stuff are so rare for me and im very sorry about that so i hope you take this offering but also uhhh this isnt phrased in a way that id write it as a request bc it seems more like youre asking ME and also uhh im rambling now

with the way that i want to approach this i honestly. would have to rewrite the entire scene bc just a short drabble >1k words wouldnt establish all the context i think would be needed to go into the depth thats required for the ramifications of rmring sylus + i dont acc know much of his myth outside the general stuff and honestly i dont intend to lean more actively + writing smth that long will never ever be finished by me bc ya to me it'd be a full fledged oneshot/fic but i dont do fics ever unless a concept grabs me by the BALLS

what i DO think would happen would be you'd skip a lot of that early push and pull.

honestly from what ive noticed in the story / the other interps ive seen other people take i think deadass sylus would be like, a week out from putting a metaphorical ring on your finger. i think things would just sorta like?? pick up where he thinks you two left off and hed basically sorta "expect" you (in the kindest way) to be okay with dropping everything to be at his side in the sense that fron the outside looking in, it's crazy to move in with a guy you met an hour ago but he sorta things that youd just be that comfortable with him right away and not really consider that you currently have a life in this world. his goal is essentially to find you again so like. when he does find you again in his head hes completed it and now its just time to enjoy being together!!

i saw someone say that sylus conquering the n109 zone is to fulfill a promise that was made in his myths and while i dont know mmuch about it to go into detail the parts i do understand i can see where its coming from which is why i think that remembering him basically gets you swept up into this whirlwiind romance and you do a bunch of domestic stuff and just like?? are with eaech other in every way that matters bc theres this mutal yearning/pining thats transcended time/reality so to me its not just him, but with any of the LIs that if you rmr him things would speed up 1000% esp since oyu also have the context of the previous "relationship"

[mossdoesartshit]

HELLO EVERYNYAN HOW ARE YOU FINE THANK YOU

long post ahead

context i watched this delightful video by lela studios https://www.youtube.com/shorts/th7_28E8k98

and before even being able to finish the video i had typed up an essay long comment "ABSOLUTELY EURYLOCHIS GETS TOO MUCH HATE!!! i have been meaning to write a thing elsewhere about eury's character, but in essence, he is a deeply flawed man who so desperately wants to trust and listen to his captain, he wants to get home too (iirc in the odyssey or. somewhere else that epic is based off of he has a wife! he has a wife that he wants to return to just as badly as odysseus!) and like. in luck runs out odysseus asks "hey, dont question me, i promise we can get home" and eurylochus is like "aight" IMMEDIATELY after his betrayal of odysseus (opening the wind bag), in puppeteer HE TRIES TO TELL HIM. HE TRIES TO SAY "hey odysseus i did. a horrible thing and i cannot keep it secret" and he trusts odysseus when he says "whatever you need to say can wait some more" when theyre at scylla's he tells odysseus because the guilt has been eating him alive (the fandom is like "Lol bro gets mad about 6 crew members dying when he caused the death of the majority)(FANDOM. HE FELT GUILTY AS HELL!!! HE WATCHED ODYSSEUS SACRIFICE 6 MEN AND seemingly NOT FEEL BAD ABOUT IT!!) (also also, from the musicals standpoint, eurylochus is the voice of the crew, he and polites are the ONLY ones who get characterization when others were planned to get that as well)(eurylochus is vocalizing thoughts and fears and wants from ALL of the crew, the want is not exclusively his own) (thats why in mutiny while he starts the fight, the rest of the crew vocalize how distrustful they are too, they ALL saw how odysseus felt no guilt or remorse about what he did which would put anyone at unease!!!)

coughs anyway yes i think eurylochus is overhated by the fandom, and i feel the reason for this is people wanting to scapegoat him into something or someone worse than he is, when every character is flawed, confusing, and desperate to get home after 10 years of war. i would love to see your interpretation of polyphemus, you could get some really delightfully freaky designs if you go a little outside the norms of typical cyclops designs" that. is the tl;dr version. and that is very long.

buckle up folks because i am about to yap about why i think eurylochus is overhated by the fandom, and while shit he doesnt do isnt the correct choices, they make sense and we should also remember that no one is safe in this musical from having complexities so fucking help me god i went through this with the hamilton fandom and this time i can actually yap JINGFDIJON

we have like a couple of songs that really push forth eury's story Luck runs out, Puppeteer, Scylla, Mutiny and to a degree Thunder Bringer in luck runs out, weve just been past a war, crew nearly starving, and quite a few people dying to polyphemus, plus odysseus fucking doxxing himself (this is a surprise tool that will help us later even if that part is more guessing) the entire song is eury probably vocalizing the entire crews "hey???? hello??? what the fuck???"

because eurylochus is the only one out of the crew we can distinctly point out (polites being the other one but. stares) but then toward the end when its just the two of them after the "thank you for the concern but brother i can assure you our journey is almost done", odysseus, like i mentioned in comment, is like "hey, trust me, dont question what i tell you to do" and eurylochus puts his trust into odysseus

then we hit with "keep your friends close" and "ruthlessness" video mentions it, odysseus DOES NOT FUCKING TRUST THE CREW which is entirely the winions fault (but also of the crew for trusting some random sky creatures)(which like. again. stares at the horrors theyve experienced up till then alone)(you want some fucking whimsy and treasure in your life)

eurylochus ends up being the one to open the wind bag, curiosity got the best of him, and then hes IMMEDIATELY hit with the worst consequences of the fucking CENTURY he fucked around and found out and BOY DID HE FIND OUT like he is quiet for the entirety of ruthlessness, but like those "captain" callouts from those drowning were hitting him too because shit man! he caused all that!

then in puppeteer, we immediately open on eurylochus trying, HE IS IMMEDIATELY AFTER HE HAS CAUSED SOME SHIT TO HAPPEN TRYING TO TELL ODYSSEUS "HEY MAN. I FUCKED UP BIG TIME. I FEEL LIKE SHIT ABOUT IT" and odysseus is like "lol man it can so wait. it can so wait. it can so wait" and eurylochus, feeling the guilt and still placing his trust in odysseus (this is where surprise tool and the guessing comes in)(given poseidon mentions TO ody "hey lol. you fucking doxxing yourself is ultimately what caused me to show the fuck up. fuck ya life, bing bong")(i would not be surprised if eurylochus' trust is shaken from that first) and then like. after the circe encounter, when hes like "lets cut our losses you and i and lets run" "of course id like to leave now, of course id like to run, but i can hardly sleep now, knowing everything weve done" and that whole lyric section i always read "i can hear her still, and her voice deceives. what if she cant be killed?" as trying to formulate a plan WITH odysseus not trying to make him go against the idea of saving the crew like "ok so. shes super powerful. what the fuck" and odys like "well lets fucking pray" and then the circe saga happens, and like yay! happy days!!!!!! a bit of trust comes back in

ACTUALLY SURPRISE CAMEO FROM DIFFERENT BEAST (and underworld saga) given i dont think any of the crew were privy to what tiresias told ody, and his breakdown after about "becoming the monster", to the crew, the cruelty comes out of NOWHERE like "ok sure, killing our enemies, yeah." " " "captain what do you mean cut their tails off and then throw them back into the water and let them drown"

because that IS crueler than just killing them, cutting their tails off and then throwing them into the water, its the order with which the thing is done that gets the crew to switch up from "WE are a different beast now" to "HE is a different beast now", because the hesitation comes back, the hesitation and the "hey. hey hold on" and the trust breaks again

and then in scylla, eurylochus finally tells the thing about the wind bag, (my partner has so fucking amazingly pointed out, scyllas singing fits both odysseus' and eurylochus' sides)("leaving them feeling betrayed" is what happens to both of them during that song)(eurylochus finally tells of his betrayal, and odysseus betrays eury's trust in him near completely)(theres a reason i say near completely)

and ok

so the fandom is like "lollll eurylochus???? eurylochus you caused the death of like closer to 500 men probably what right do u have to be mad about 6 deaths"

ITS BECAUSE ODYSSEUS FEELS NO REMORSE FOR IT the two have both caused death, indirectly at that point, but its the fact that odysseus CHOOSES to DIRECTLY cause death to the 6 men, and again, eurylochus is the voice of the crew, and to the rest of the crew, their captain sacrificing 6 of them and not at all feeling bad about it????? holy FUCK

so then the rest of mutiny plays out, (i will once again point to "eurylochus is the crews voice" with the lyric "how are we supposed to trust you now" because that shit mirrors exactly the stuff eurylochus is handling with the lyrics, its so hard to get lost in the sauce of it all but NO this is NOT AN IDEA HELD ONLY BY EURYLOCHUS-)

coughs anyway NGFDIJHN that "near broken trust" comes back into play because there is that little bit of trust still there eurylochus realizes he fucked up (which)(btw)(he was starving)(if you were starving and had the means to feed yourself not even GOD could stop you with any punishment from trying to feed yourself) and when odysseus goes into full captain mode, despite the fact he was betrayed, he makes a futile attempt at making sure his crew makes it out safely and we can only assume eurylochus is following orders then we reach thunder bringer eurylochus has realized he has doomed the crew and when he says "captain?" "i have to see her" "but we'll die" "i know,,," eurylochus has this. resignation and acceptance in his voice all rage has left all anger all sense of betrayal because he cant change that anymore like he fully accepts his fate and knows its because he fucked up

so like. teehee. sniles so sneetly JINGFDOIJN

eurylochus is a flawed character, but so is everyone else in the musical, and nuance should ALWAYS be considered when looking at them instead of "lol funni man bad funni man at the fault of everything in the musical (aside from ody doxxing himself that is a choice of foolishness the size of zeus' ego to not get caught by hera whenever he cheats)

i needed to yap otherwise the goblin inside my brain would have started eating it inside and out

Book 1 First Impressions

Part 1

Hiya, so as a kinda fresh ksbd fan I feel like other fans would enjoy hearing what it's like for a newcomer to read it for the first time. Maybe give them a little taste of what it was like to read it the first time themselves.

So, my first impression...

...was oh my god holy shit the art is so good wow wow wow cool oh my god wow

Also, as of writing I'm a decent chunk into book 3. When I first saw this panel I was actually overwhelmed. Which I feel like is the intended affect since the leading up pages are pretty typical. I didn't even notice the center figure got fucking beheaded until my 2nd reread.

But also it's fun seeing this panel now and being, like, hey I know what all these characters are

On that note, I am excited to eventually learn exactly what's happening here. Is that bird significant? I know what this area is called but is there anything more significant going on here? Is it all metaphorical.

Which i dont think it is, because in the description of many pages there is supplemental stories. They mimic ancient poems, and other historical texts.

And birds are mentioned pretty frequently, as small creatures made by old gods that are small enough to travel through holes in reality to other realms.

White Chain is a trans king. A male person stuck in the shell of someone who looks feminine. Based.

Although the more I read an angels gender seems to be pretty fluid, which would make sense.

I'm not trying to summarize the comics, but I guess for context. Angels can only affect the physical world through one of these sets of armors. Their real forms are less human, usually.

And I guess this is a good place to compliment the visual design. Holy shit the aesthetic of these cities being built on these corpses is extraordinarily fucking cool.

And in the description the author left an I-Spy sort of puzzle in the description which is an excellent way to get a reader to look at a panel longer.

And shoutouts to the commentor who told me to read the description and comics, there is so much extra content there I've re-read book 1 four times and have had new experiences each time.

The world building is so intricate it completely trumps most other media I've seen. I dunno what to tell you, its just great. You can just taste how long the author has been cooking this world for. And it all paid off.

Cool background character is cool.

In gonna talk about the extra description content again, they're cool and are mandatory to read. Although maybe leave it to your second or third reread because the world building already present is still very dense.

Some of them involve a figure who is talking to their birds and asking questions to the reader. Which people answer in the comments.

Those same answers are then mentioned later as conversations had by people in Yisun's hall.

Don't know who Yisun is? Read the comic.

But things get confusing, the figure asks the readers where they believe Allison is traveling right when she is pulled from her own world. Someone says that she is going to the future, and Yisun likes it and makes it true.

But she isn't going to the future? Like she just isn't? We know later that this is all taking place linearly.

It's all very meta.

On page 16 we get some wild lore. It seems to be a background on Pree Ashma. Who's name I definitely recognize but deadass cannot remember who they are.

I'm probably not gonna mention the description again, but I wanted to yap so there you go.

No clue who this person is but I thought she was cool enough to make my pfp. We know her last name from the description though.

Later clues tell us she's a knight. That and people call her The Beggar Knight.

Boy would I love to pick the authors brain about where his mind goes when he creates these characters. Because they are so consistently unique and impressive. Praman Nand is a more important character so I would expect his design to be more striking. But the effort in his design is present in even the most insignificant background characters.

I imagine the dialect Cio is speaking here vs how she speaks to Allison and White Chain is the devil equivalent of code-switching.

I really love the action scenes. The author packs in so much detail that one panel feels fast paced. While giving the important events time to breath.

And this is where I learned tumblr has a 10 image per post limit i didn't know about. Continued in part 2!

[starscream-is-my-wife]

Love how we all accept the mild to major misogyny but put our WHOLE CHEST OUT denouncing this BLASPHEMY of Starscream being “straight”.

Like

Misogyny : sleep no reaction

Straight: 😡🤬👏🏽👏🏽BITCH WHO THE FUCK

I wonder if in their universe he’s like the Logan Paul of transformers, loud, really popular, scammer, problematic, hurts his friends, kinda misogynistic, gets beat up a lot, there’s a moment where you think he’s redeeming himself and then relapses, no matter how much he’s canceled he will reappear like a cockroach, only difference is that he's gay lol

(More asks under the cut)

Just on the basis of being megatron probably all F, he would also rate everyone else F too, except for himself which he places on S (for starscream)

I'm gonna assume the cartoon Starscream cause he would be so pumped that Megatron is gone until he realizes he has to go up against a way smarter Soundwave but honestly he would be pretty unhinged too, depending on if he gets his cartoon immunity,

I'd like to think that the more he flanderizes himself the more immunity he gets but the more he loses any actual cognitive ability he has, if he ever goes full cartoon then oh man what a chaotic immortal force he would be!

I heard he had a mom and she wanted to steal his body? I dont remember the full context but i do remember she was pretty hot, I did Google starscreams mom and got a bunch of fan stuff, but I think that he should get all the credit for hating women on his own dammit! Why are we giving a WOMEN credit for his hard work?? Smells like the woke agenda to me /s

I wouldn't be surprised if he also gave someone mommy issues despite not being their mom... somehow. He can find a way

I'm not too well versed in beastwars because it scared me as a kid but I'm imagining the evolution of a gun to a gorilla being one of those awkward middle phases of an anamorph book

I'm not too well versed in prime because prime starscream scared me as a kid (prime megatron did not for some reason) but I did see that clip of him being a mlp fan, is there beastwars transformers in prime???

I don't remember what this ask was for sorry it took a while for me to respond 😅

I'm not too well versed in animated but yep that sounds like him! I used to work in a restricted area of a library where we keep comics and stuff and there was a bunch of tfa books that I never read, shame I don't have access to that anymore so I can check it out when I'm slacking off a bit haha, a bit off topic but although we were missing a lot of the modern idw comics, we had 2 copies of all of the og marvel comics (this is how i got into the marvel series lol), some comics of the 1986 movie, a bunch of the pre 2000s stuff, we even had a few of the marvel coloring books! And a couple of shelves over were a bunch of explicit gay erotica from the 80s, wild, I miss working there
