I don't know if I'm partial to the idea of Ramy and Robin being in love in Babel

What I do know is that, even in this, R. F. Kuang speaks of privilege because, at its core, loving freely is a privilege, and you can feel it in the way Robin expresses the night at the -much discussed- ball:

'Their eyes met. Robin felt a prickle at the back of his neck. The space between them felt very charged, like the moment between lightning and thunder, and Robin has no idea what was going on or what would happen next, only that it felt very strange and terryfying, like teetering over the edge of a windy, roaring cliff'

And this is horrible, because sometimes, when you're already in a position of vulnerability, wherther being for the color of your skin, your place of birth, your sex, gender, mother tongue and so many others, you just can't give the system more ways to vulnerate you.

(I'm not saying everyone does it, sometimes people are brave and courageous, and they persist and change things)

The possibility of them being in love or even considering it is something Babel also takes from them. From my point of view, they feel it and immediately resign to the oportunity, as they had with so many others things

It’s insane to read dog man as a kid and you know laugh at the goofy backstory,

oh , his body is dead ! and his head is dead !what shall we do ! Let’s fuse his head with his body of course! They are both alive as one ! Well dog man is mostly dog / Greg than human / knight because dog head , but we will not develope that !

But know , it’s so messed up , dog man is the dog put inside of the body of his best friend/ owner/ maybe dad. Do you have any idea how messed up that is . And since his body is still living inside does dog man do things that officer knight would normally do and then realize he’s doing it .

Anyways I’m excited for the dog man movie!

Sometimes I wish I had the capacity to interact more, but I'm so bad at this.

So, sorry if try to talk to me and sometimes I seem like I don't wanna talk. That's really not it, I just don't know what to do or say :(

But at least I have good news, my parents got me a new laptop! And I'm really happy with it. It's really not the best yet, but in comparison with my old one, it's a big difference and now I'm able to play games that I couldn't before and get back to drawing :D

Something that I discovered is today after a guy was rude to me today, I think.

I was heading to my doctor appointment and walked nearby by the road, basically minding my own business until, It was a car that passed me and I believe it was some younger guys who drove it.

The guy yelled at me for some reason or at something…?

It was so hard to make out what he said since his yelling was so low at the same time… but even if he yelled at me.. I simply didn’t care? Probably bc I was dead ass tired that I simply just don’t care.

Maybe I should be more tired often, since I don’t care about what ppl think of me when I’m tired lol

So about the Knights Of Guinevere the new glitch show . In the story of King Arthur , Guinevere was revived by Merlin and Lancelot the royal wizard and royal guard respectively after being cursed by Morgan the evil witch . I’m putting my two cent right know and saying that the princess lady was revived by those two girls we keep seeing because she was probably killed and they both couldn’t handle her death so they choose to find a way to revive her using modern technology and it didn’t end well

Ink interacting with a million blorbos because he knows creators love to see their blorbos interacting other characters, not realizing that he is the ultimate blorbo because he's the one having THE MOST interactions. And a wide variety of complex and multi faceted ones where he may be angaonist one moment, but have genuine moments of deeper connection, or friendly bond only for there to be a sudden clash that they have to work through. He doesn't change like the others because well... idk anyone else, but it's the characters I use the least but still really like that I change designs and tweak the most. If I'm constantly drawing a character till I can draw them by memory, then I don't change their design till years upon years down the line. I don't want to make all my art out dated and I can already draw them by memory so well, you know? But he's so focused on look OUT that he never considers looking in. That he never considered why he's the one that seems to break the trends to notice how deeply he's loved. Maybe not every ink, but of course this creator touching this multiverse loves him deeply. Who wouldn't love their most inspiring muse? Their biggest cheerleader that helps them through their worst art blocks? Their favorite silly little guy? But, unless a creator wrote themself into the story, he would never know. Could never truly know just how adored he is. Somehow, even when he isn't the blorbo, he still isn't.

Actually we should lean more onto Ink knowing stuff. The idea of him knowing who's the favorite within the utmv is so funny to me

Whether it is by him having out of verse knowledge (creators snitching on each other's fav blorbos/them asking Ink to "keep an eye out for them), him knowing about the omniverse (he asks other inks about their own multiverses and gets hit by the knowledge that there are those that remain and the very few that, curiously, change every time) he knows who are the favorites based on those who know the most woe/joy within their incarnations. He knows the Creators love Sans because they keep on messing with him. He equals love with change. To be unloved is to remain unchanged (and how cruel it is that he was born as a template without change nor base for him but he can't think about it for too long)

So when he looks at Dream... he knows this multiverse's creator somewhat like him. How could he not? Even before omniversal knowledge, Dream remains Alive. He remains relevant. He doesn't fade into obscurity. He's there. He cannot kill him nor harm him because THAT IS someones blorbo. So he doesn't. Not like he would do something like that just because, but the mere thought is extremely forbidden. He can't.

Keep the blorbos close and the scrimblos closer...

When the blorbos are secured, he doesn't get as protective with the AUs. How could he, if the creators willed for them to be? He couldn't just obstaculize them, even if the script is ruined. Its a thing. He has to let them have some fun before he gets fuzzy!!! Hes a secondary character to the blorbo. He needs to complement them. He needs to be a character the blorbo interacts with. Somewhat fun. People love when the blorbo interacts with other characters. Screentime! They all love screentime!

Blorbo doesnt like you? No problem. He could be the antagonist. The annoying pal the blorbo has. Its a thing. He doesn't mind (genuinely, of course!) he's absolutely thrilled to act the part. Its almost like he has a script of his own

Hed wonder if theres a multiverse where he's the blorbo. Its a fun thing to think about

Reader getting attached to Sans despite their best attempts. Wanting to give Sans the ability to be his own person as best they can because they don't want to control or hold power over him. Desperately trying to remove all of their influence from his existence and ready to alter and change anything he wants even on the smallest whim. Vs. Sans' need to feel that his existence is important and that he is wanted. Clinging to everything that was given to him because no matter how big or small, no matter the reason. Never wanting to change a thing about himself because they gave him this voice because they liked the sound and body because they thought it was silly and cute. I hope that if any parts of him lose luster that they'll poor as much care into him again to make him shiny and new all over again

1x04 - Babel

[opal-kitty333]

While his vials give him the ability to feel, he takes a little bit of each every day so he can feel dynamically and respond like anyone else. They're still his emotions. He just essentially needs a regular and balanced dosage of ink to be able to feel the.

If they aren't balanced right then ya, he'd be forced to feel specific things, and I think this could very well lead to manic or depressive states that he would be forced to wait out or balance. If he doesn't have anything, he becomes a husk that doesn't even move.

Like, just because they come from paint doesn't mean his feelings are happening in response to things around them. Just because they're 'artificially induced' doesn't make them any less

I do genuinely believe that people who deny that Ink's vials are a literal akin to mood stabelizers medications are, in fact, stupid. Sorry (not sorry)

Do the slomen have seasonal coat changes? Like how in some birds when it gets colder their feathers change to be more pale or just all white

Yes, there are some smaller changes to a sloman's coat, but to a human, most would be barely noticeable. In the wider open communities where slomen naturally mix, these characteristics often become a lot less saturated, or they are gatekept as some sloman families try to control where their genes are passed or try to create their own by selecting mates carefully. This is how the cultural thing of "prize men" came to be. But about that another day.

Some sloms become a bit lighter in colder seasons, while others who aren't so familiar with snow lose saturation after early summer. You could also say they just gain saturation late winter, but again, humans can hardly judge these differences a lot of the time. Consistently, redness is the color more mixed in as mating season comes up, and it affects the coat and the chest skin in both sexes. Though women usually stay brighter than men all year, it's their chest skin that gains extra color. Some women will grow longer head feathers, and majority will grow longer mid-arm feathers for spring.

There are many unique changes in smaller groups or ones living under more specific circumstances, like the shown Pumpa tribe, where both sexes go through changes, but it's actually the women who have a more dramatic coat shift (the 'women' in slomen have the male sexual organs) which might be since these are one of few cultures where sexes are distributed more equally in a community and monogamy is very common.

The other drawn example is of a Frecasis man, whose primary spring change is tiny blue spots. In the nation, this trait is highly valued although uncommon, and it's unheard of anywhere else. The reason the trait isn't getting passed on to more is that it's hard to inherit, and Freca is culturally so different from its neighbouring nations that very little mixing actually happens. In Ciwa, it's even widely believed it's a fake trait painted onto the men to make them more "marketable" to other nations in marriage.

And also some southwestern sloms do actually go partially from browner to white for winter, but here I drew the ones who don't.

But yea, overall there is a lot of variety coming from the expressive genes, but it doesn't look like much when compared to some sloman relatives where the looks play a bigger role than communication.

Trends in looks are followed strongly in sloms, and so changes to a look in a group can be fast if focused enough and with small enough numbers. Many unusual features come from long family lines that have become standard in the current day. On one hand, it can be very easy to understand one's ancestry by looks, but it can also be impossible. It's a goofy world. I won't go any deeper here because it's another very painful to write topic, so yea.
