#hyperfixation-fueled yapping

[oikoraart]

I might explode if I don't share this, so here goes an unhinged rant/theory that has to do with the Book of Bill. brace yourself!!

ALRIGHT SO background: yesterday I read a post talking about Silas Birchtree being one of the best iterations of "Bill using a human body as a flesh puppet" (agreed), and somewhere (I can't recall if it was op or a comment I'm sorry) there was this joke about Bill having a thing for people with tree surnames. and I was like haha funny yeah, and then moved on with my day.

but NOW IT HIT ME.

IT'S NOT SIMPLY TREES, OR LIKE, ANY KIND OF TREE.

HE FIRST WENT FOR A GUY WITH THE SURNAME BIRCHTREE. BIRCH. YOU KNOW, THAT WHITE TREE THAT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS EYES ALL OVER???

AND THEN, OH THEN HE WENT FOR PINES. A PRETTY TRIANGULAR-LOOKING TREE IF YOU ASK ME.

AND- OKAY I'M PROBABLY JUST REACHING HERE BUT HEAR ME OUT.

DOES HE,, DOES HE HAVE SOME SORT OF STRONGER INFLUENCE/PULL TOWARDS THINGS THAT SOMEWHAT RELATE TO HIM?? (not really sure why he'd go for trees* twice but- TRIANGLES, EYE(S), BILLS?, CIPHERS)

AND YOU MIGHT BE THINKING "nah he's just that badly egotistical, he picks like that on purpose" AND AT FIRST I WAS ALSO GOING TO JUST SIT WITH THAT CONCLUSION (and not write this post) BUT LIKE ACTUALLY NO THAT'S NOT IT.

BECAUSE alright let's say for the sake of argument that Bill could've had anyone else with a big brain and self-esteem issues construct his portal (debatable) and he just happened to choose Ford because "ehehe surname relating to me and birth defect too"...

BUT HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN SILAS???

THE GUY JUST RANDOMLY DIED. HE CHOKED ON A COIN THAT HE TOSSED AFTER FAILING TO MAKE BUSINESS IN THAT TOWN. JUST THEN DID BILL KICK HIS LITTLE CULT-FOR-PORTAL-CONSTRUCTION PLAN INTO MOTION, WHICH, NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT, WAS DESTINED TO FAIL FROM THAT CHOICE ALONE.

HERE it is WAY harder to make the argument that he could've picked anyone from the town because, unless he was planning to fail on purpose, why would he choose a rotting body as a host?? it makes no sense: it puts a time limit to get it all done before the body is completely useless. it doesn't make any sense unless that was his only option. maybe he was already planning on entering the guy's dreams but then he just dropped dead and Bill went "ah shit. well, time to work with what we have, I guess!"

SO! in short, I believe that whoever Bill uses as his puppet/anchor to this world has to meet the requirement of somehow relating to him (his imagery and/or motifs), not just out of preference, but because it's a must, some sort of limitation or arbitrary rule that he has to follow, for him to be able to get to you.

...and personally I think that THAT'S SO COOL AND INTERESTING OMG MR. HIRSCH YOU ARE SUCH A BIG BRAINED MAN-

SO YEAH. I might be going a little insane. perhaps. cheers to that!!

now I have to figure out how/if this rule checks out with Alex Hirsch himself because (canonically? I think?) Bill has controlled him before and (iirc) is implied to still be tethered to him in some way

*the only explanation I can think of for trees would be the fact that [tree -> three -> triangle] but like idk that might be too far. or maybe that's precisely why he can only go for things related to specific trees, like [birch = tree + eyes] and then [pines = tree + triangular shape]. maybe the rule is even more complex than I first thought... hmmm

[leeki]

adrian has consumed my waking life. please bro get out of my head, i can barely function as is. please bro why you simply existing makes me want to pick up a pen and write down every fantasy scenario i have of you.

[novastar-creations]

IM LIKE PILLED ON @ghostlychaosfoil’s STAINED AU ATM I HAD TO DRAW HERRRR AND IT CAME PUT A LIL JANK BC IT WAS IN MY SKETCHBOOK BUT YK WHAT? BEST KINDA ART :]

[localfanbaselurker]

I’m watching Voltron: Legendary Defender for the first time and here is what I have had to say per each season (this is 1-2) (3-4) (5-6) (7) (8)

Pre-Watch Knowledge

->big transformers type robot

->pretty alien girl that looks like princess yue from A:tLA

->they are the epitome of color-coded characters

->space??

->there was crazy people in the fanbase that sent cupcakes laced with something to the creators

->queer baiting (this one in particular got me)

->klance.

->^honestly I only knew that because people were comparing it to zukka and I wanted to check it out

->my friend really likes it

Post S1 thoughts-

->that cliffhanger was crazy imagine they weren’t renewed for a s2

-> i went on tumblr after and youre telling me they made that show IN TWO YEARS?? EIGHT SEASONS. IN TWO MF YEARS?? that is insane. props to the writers bro they fr must of known what they were doing.

->all of these characters already scream “doomed by the narrative”

->my fav characters are pidge and lance

->I definitely did NOT expect yue Allura to be British

->bonding moment.

->^like yeah okay i get it now

-> the healing pods are a very interesting concept. Like, what if you get some ailment that it doesn’t recognize?? Do you just die??

-> genuinely felt so bad for Not Yue. Allura. Allura when they had to remove her father’s memory thing. Like yeah I know the castle was corrupted or wtv but bro imagine. Your entire race is dead. your mom, who you previously knew alive is now most likely dead. You already had to go through losing your father once, and now you have to lose him again. Any sliver of hope you had of staying connected with him is gone, because the entirety of his essence is now gone. She’s stronger than me, I would have never given him up so easily. I admire that about her.

->I also made the horrible mistake of going on ao3 after

yk for gits and shiggles… and when I go to a new fandom I always search by hits to see the classics first yk

…

WHY are you guys so 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂… I genuinely shed a tear what. I was flabbergasted to say the least.

On that note the top 23 were about redguy/blueguy getting smoochy-smoochy with each other so I guess that should be a hint as to what you guys like

->the description of the show says the robot (voltron) is operated by “five teenagers” but that shiro guy has to be AT LEAST 25. He is pushing 30 you can’t convince me otherwise.

->for now it’s kinda giving atla except the war is intergalactic and lasted 10,000 years instead of 100.

->all the other characters seem to have a pretty clear background, but we haven’t yet heard about Keith’s backstory, so I want to know (I know now, this was my initial thought)

->shiros backstory/ptsd is very interesting, lots of angst possibilities i see

-> I had an inkling that pidge was…genderly different. (At first I thought she was transmasc)

Post S2

-> WHERE is my man. Where did he go.

-> Pookie please come back. Now. It’s not a suggestion.

->KEITH BACKSTORY I PREDICTED THEY WERE GONNA SHOW US YAY I LOVE BEING RIGHT

-> he’s galra! Soooo much whump opportunity

-> the whole “Allura doesn’t hate you she’s just a little upset to find out ur part of the race that killed off her entire peoples and family and okay maybe she does hate you” scene with keith and hunk is really giving that scene in atla: the southern raiders where zuko thinks katara hates him and sokka reassures him (badly) while he was just trying to get laid w suki.

->^ that’s gay

-> the aliens they met are going to be very important, aren’t they?

->^ oohhh so this is where the “langst” stuff comes from? he’s just kinda insecure i think, but it can’t possibly just be this episode that has that tag so high, unless flanderization is just really popular with you guys, but already suspect that unfortunately

->^Allura high key ate with this

->the “Blade of Marmora” people are definitely gonna be important later

-> the mall episode was soooo fun! fav s2 episode for sure!

->^gay. It’s literally giving “two bros chillin in a hot tub. five feet apart cus they’re not gay”

-> I know of 2 ships now. klance and allurance. I only see the former though, the latter seems more like a running gag/unrequited crush thing (for now i suppose)

-> Coran is an icon. I love that whimsical man. he’s beekeeping age per say.

-> I need pidge to find her brother and father man I feel so bad for her PLEASE DOBT TELL ME THEYRE DEAD ILL LITERALLY DIE.

-> pidge is sooooo cool i love her so much she’s literally the pookiest of the pookies

-> Who tf is gonna be the black paladin now. Keith sure as hell isn’t ready for that. maybe Allura?? Cus yk she kinda already leads them a little bit

These are thoughts I had compiled over a while now. I am on S5E3 as of now (07/03/24) but I wanted to document my thoughts either way. I will post on the tag “laura’s first vld”

[yingren]

i’m delirious and half asleep but i’ve been thinking about crushes and that initial state of liking someone and how fucking hilariously awful it is when in the denial stage. a million emotions and only one idiot to deal with them. a guy so sickeningly stupid like. i’m so normal. i’m not at all climbing the walls. i’m not pacing the kitchen at 3am. i’m not thinking about them when i see two clouds next to each other. i’m not insane. my dead friend’s electro vision is not activating. i’m normal and i don’t know what you’re talking about

[berry-lost]

HGH thoughts because Im hyperfixating on danganronpa and Lunar is one of if not my fav ao3 author that also feeds us all!!

*eats all 11 chapters without leaving any crumbs before scurrying away*

AAAAAAAAAAA I LOVE THIS SO MUCH??? Rare Lunar fanfic Tsumugi moralish W. Good to see her as not, well the torturer and actually helping!! Her ACTIVELY TRYING to feel remorse is so funny- I imagine she felt somewhat relieved when she felt guilty for sending Shuichi in there! I hope so at least, hope to see more of her!! It's such a different perspective from how you usually write her and I am so here for it! I love actually being able to be in her POV for one of the chapters! I also love how even though youre writing her like this you aren't really taking away the aspects of her from the game and your other fics! Tsumugi acting like this is REALLY throwing me off guard but I LOVE IT. Wonder if she'll end up turning similar to how love letter Tsumugi acts in her 'we're friends aren't we?' way! I doubt she'd do any more torture though considering how upset she seems but you can NEVER know, look at motive 5, look at love letter!

SAVE KOKICHI OMG THE POOR GUY??? I HATE ALL OF THEM. BE NICE TO KOKICHI YOU FUCKERS. I HOPE THE HIGHER UPS IN DANGANRONPA EXECUTE YOU WORSE AND EXTREMELY MORE PAINFUL THAN ALL THE DANGANRONPA EXECUTIONS FROM GAME 1 TO V3 COMBINED. LIKE WORSE THAN ANYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE BECAUSE I HATE THEM. MAKING HIM SUFFERUIGEWFIGFEw:( "You remind me of my son before I ate him!:D" "...Wtf."

Love the mom torturer tho

I feel so bad for Kokichi omg. 'I cant handle just a little bit of electrocution" BOY FIRST OF ALL 1) A LITTLE??? 2) THATS TOO MUCH AND SHE WAS TORTURING YOU BRO, IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. I need the cruel one to get their fucking hands off of Kokichis hair. AND NOT THEM BRINGING UP KOKICHI TO MAKE HIM SAD AND WORRIED??:( I hope he isn't too worried, CANT WAIT FOR BRO TO GET MEDICAL TREATMENT!!

Shuichi makes me so sad too- LOVE HIM SM. HIM DIGGING HIS OWN GRAVE:( THE 'voice annoying, sorry' interesting to see you GIVING/replacing his eye instead of just stealing it!! NOT MAKI ASSUMING KOKICHI DID THAT TO HIM- LISTEN I GET YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS AND ALL BUT DO YOU THINK HE WOULD GO SO FAR AS TO DYE HIS HAIR AND DO ALL THAT OTHER STUFF- I MEAN HIS LITERAL ARM?? Bro even if he WAS the mastermind he'd probably see that as too much work- Also even if he WAS the mastermind Shuichi said it wasnt- LOVE MAKI THO<3 LOVE TO SEE BADASS MAKI PROTECTING HER FRIENDS!! RIP Tsumugi for when she finds out about her frfr! Kaito LIVE PLEASE, DONT DIE EARLY LIKE YOU DID IN THE OG CAUSE BACK THEN IT WAS BADASS, SATISFYING AND SAD NOW ITLL JUST BE SAD

Praying Kokichi wont freak when hes in Tsumugis room ESPECIALLY once he will (And itll probably be like really quickly cause of their plan) find out shes the mastermind I want to give him a hug and give him stimulis AKA NON BORING THINGS AND ALSO COMFYNESS AND COLORS AND SILENCE AND PERSONAL SPACE AND JUST AS MUCH FREEDOM AS POSSIBLE (Thank you so much for making him suffer. I ADORE angst and your writing!!)

I LOVE MY FAVS SUFFERING EXTREME, EXTREMEEE PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL TORTURE!!!<3

[blocksgobrrr]

oh my LORD! i am so obsessed with them right now. the hyperfixation is literally insane. please ask me about my feelings toward them bc i will blab on for hours. i am really glad that xisuma has been more social in season 10 bc it give me more fuel!!!

more yapping!

[cher-ubic]

my dork ass might make a full blown au out of it. i'm just stuck with images of him in a full group. one of the best drivers to run point on tornados even though he looks like the most unassuming lil guy ever.

my friend convinced me to watch the new twisters movie. now all i can think about is comet completely covered in mud while running data on storm cells and tornados. hunched over in an open van door trying to write on a yellow notepad but he's trembling from adrenaline.

Alpha and Omega Earth Sova Dynamic + Sova Lore Yap Session B)

Saw a post floating around talking about the dynamic between Alpha and Omega agents and how omega agents being labelled automatically evil is kinda stupid. Because no, they're NOT evil. They're Omega's Earth's last hope of survival. They're the heroes, much like how our Alpha agents are the heroes of Alpha Earth for standing up to this bizarre threat. It leads to a fun grey area that is not explored at all. I hope it gets some love in the future, but for now, character development is more important for the game.

That post got me thinking about my own HCs and interpretations of A and O Sova. I rly got into exploring elements of the Alpha and Omega aspects of the game's story due to me shipping Owling (Sova/Sova) but it suddenly became a really fun thing to dive into. It's going to be a long post, so for those who kinda want the TLDR, the img below has a summarized ver of my HCs for A and O Sova's dynamic. Also, these are just my personal thoughts on the character and it's definitely not me trying to sell these HCs as canon or the closest truth we can get to on Sova's lore. Riot please write more shit for this guy I'm begging you. At least explain his stupid eye or his old alias I'm on my hands and knees bros.

Grab some snacks and bevvies for the big wall of unedited hyperfixation fueled yap under the cut. I'll also include my thoughts on ASova/OSova, but I will mostly be discussing their dynamics and stuff outside of the topic of shipping.

Initially, Owling started as a fun indulgent cloneship that had no rhyme or reason, but the literal next thought I had was treating the ship like some kind of character study based off my HCs of him. The then evolved to become a journey of Sova learning to love himself, literally and metaphorically, however incomplete he may be.

As mentioned in my chart, the Sovas are true clones of each other, mirrors. Their major life events are similar but the outcomes are different as well as the way they choose to interact with the people in their lives and the world. This therefore creates small differences in their 'perfect mirror-like' likenesses.

Sova Lore + HCs in General

My ASova headcanons are as described in my little chart. I feel like the Sova we get presented is very work-oriented whose past was shaped by his time in the military. It may very well be all he had had when he was younger. Perhaps it was what he turned to for direction in his life. I don't really have a solid headcanon for his upbringing, I'm mostly tossing several ideas around because they all seem very possible depending on how I want to picture Sova. Currently I lean more towards his parents being too busy to raise their son and therefore handed him over to his babushka to be cared for and raised. They still exist in his life, but their absences had made a significant impact on his psyche. He believes if he becomes someone useful, someone whose work was meaningful and worthy of praise, perhaps his parents would regard him more tenderly, their visits would be more purposeful, there would be reason to see their son other than obligation. He wishes to be useful not just for the sake of his parents, but for his babushka who is old and frail but has taken great pains and burdens to raise him to the best of her ability. Sova turned to the military for it was a respectable line of work. You serve the country and therefore its people, it seems a perfect fit for him who had much affinity for physical skills (hunting and general fitness). Not only that, the military would be good for him, for he need not think about his pains and troubles. The strict drills and constant orders would give him little time to dwell on his sorrows or whatever ails him. Even if his heart is lost, at the very least he has orders to follow, his path would straighten out for him as long as someone was telling him what he should be doing. In regards to his old callsign 'Filin', I'm sticking to the generally accepted HC that it's his old callsign from whatever military company he was in before Valo. As for his experiences then, my thoughts aren't too lengthy. It was a normal job experience, but he was very much just a machine there. A good obedient soldier. However, a mishap in one of his missions cost him his right eye. He continued to serve despite the injury and forced himself to remain useful to the company.

As a result of such life experiences, the Sova we see today can easily be described as a straight-laced man with strict morals who works to live. From what little trivia we have of him, he definitely has hobbies and interests outside of work. He likes hunting, photography that leans towards nature as it's focus. From his voicelines, we can gather that Sova is actually a really friendly and loving guy. He is vocal about his love for his babushka, he praises his teammates often, and he always seems ready to jump in the line of fire for his teammates if it means saving them (and by proxy, the mission). This kindness extends even to those he shouldn't extend it to, namely OSova, who is the enemy. Can you imagine sparing the guy who is invading your earth? Giving them a second chance? I feel like it's more than just some good samaritan thing/altruism, but there is unfortunately no reason given from Riot so far.

With all that knowledge of him, I interpret Sova as a person who is kind, friendly and full of desire to do good. But he has a lot of personal struggles under the hood that he pushes away in order to service others, in order to continue to be seen as a 'good soldier', to be seen as useful. His life outside of work is lackluster, his personality centered around being an asset. He struggles to properly care for himself mentally and emotionally, but is very good at sweeping everything under the rug and calling on his 'work mode' to 'solve' these issues. They don't exist now that a gun's in his hands and his boots on the field. His personal troubles will leave him, like the arrows that fly from his bow, like the bullets that race towards his target's head. The only grounding things in his life are: - His babushka loves him - He's a damn good shot with the gun and the bow - He's an excellent soldier, amazing at his job

Sova, you are miserable in your excellence.

For all his amicable nature and good intentions for others, he hardly shows the same courtesy to himself.

And finally, I yap about OSova.

Omega Sova

OSova is almost everything ASova isn't. - He is less of a workaholic (he very much works to live, but not as intensely as ASova). - He is more open to others and therefore his relationships with the Valo protocol and others in general are much more intimate and closer. As a result, his dynamic with his Cypher is also a lot less charged and they actually get along. - He is more in touch with his emotions and is tackling his fears and problems. Very unlike ASova who is avoidant.

I like to think of OSova as a representation of what a slightly healthier Sova would be. A version of Sova who is trying to improve his mental health and his relationships. He's not the 'Perfect' version of Sova, he too, is still very flawed. But he is happier, is mentally healthier and lives a generally more fulfilling life because he is actually putting effort into himself, trying to be whole.

Personal HCs on their first encounter

When ASova meets OSova for the first time, obviously nothing meaningful goes down because they gotta kill each other. But personally, I think on one occasion, ASova gets curious about his mirror self. He wonders if their lives are truly mirror-perfect reflections of each other. And he steals OSova's eye. He cuts along the familiar eye scar but cuts an additional line for he dislikes that they look exactly alike and the scar mysteriously remains permanent (this is just for my enjoyment and definitely has no real supporting rhyme or reason lol). He doesn't give the eye to KJ despite her expressing interest in it, for this is a personal selfish matter. What he finds shocks him, for OSova lives a very different life from him. And he grows angry for he is... jealous. His mirror self seemed to be living a beautiful life as compared to him and he wants to know why. He needs to learn more, needs to collect more intel. There has to be a reason his mirror self is enjoying things he doesn't seem to have himself despite being a good and useful person on his earth. Therefore, in addition to being his enemy at work, he cannot spare OSova ever again. He needs his eye. He needs to know.

AOSova Interactions HCs

It is natural that the Sovas are hostile to each other, for they are enemies. But OSova is surprised at how vicious and almost predator-fierce his mirror is with hunting him down and killing him. Sometimes it feels like ASova kills him with more brutality than necessary for whatever reason. When OSova is cornered and most definitely dead, it seems like ASova seems to go out on a limb to kill him in a more vicious way or uses excess effort to take his mirror out. OSova, being Sova, who has a soft heart and an inherent sense of kindness, tries to speak to ASova before he is killed again. But of course, ASova, who is blinded by his envy and hard driven by his soldier's duty to kill his enemy, doesn't let him talk. But eventually, one day, he does. And OSova questions their likenesses. Are they truly clones? He didn't know he was quite so fearsome, quite so merciless and cold. ASova finally allows OSova to speak, and suddenly, he realizes that they are so much more different than what he has seen. ASova also comes to realize that perhaps, in this big wide world and beyond, maybe his enemy, his 'evil' self, is the only one who can truly help him understand his pain.

It is not a pleasant thought, but that thought will soon disappear when his hunting knife goes through OSova's heart.

Sova Learns To Love Himself + Owling (Sova/Sova) Elements (Cont. from AOSova Interactions)

Teehee my fav part... If you so desire, this can be read as platonic as I've removed romantic elements.

The sauce for Owling in this sense comes from the fact that ASova believes that OSova is the only one in the world, this universe, that will understand his pain and accept him no matter what. Because they're Sova. They're supposed to be one and the same, right? Also because OSova has extended an extremely kind hand towards him over and over despite ASova mercilessly killing him time and time again without allowing him to even get a word or so in. OSova forgives this, for they both know they're 'both good soldiers who carry out orders no matter what'. And the orders are obviously to eliminate their enemies, their mirrors. ASova was just doing as he was told, and OSova holds no grudge. Hell, he probably even respects him for staying so loyal.

After OSova finally gets a word in, the pair often try to meet up secretly whenever they encounter each other on a mission to talk. It's mostly ASova talking, sharing his burdens with his copy, hoping to learn what the hell is he not doing right that OSova is. He too, wishes to live happily, much like how OSova seems to be living. OSova comforts his mirror. It is awkward initially, for what does one do when you enemy and mirror self comes at you, killing you viciously one day and then crying into your shoulder the next? But as they chat, OSova feels much pity for his copy. He wishes he could be happy, too. As much happiness their current situation allows. I'll skip over a lot of the story I've thought of for the both of them because this textpost is an ungodly length already. But, the most important interaction they will have, is that, one day, OSova reassures ASova that no matter what happens, no matter what becomes of them both, that he accepts him as he is. For they both deserve it. And if no one else will, it's ok. OSova will love ASova instead. Unfortunately, for it is still a time of war between Alpha and Omega earth, they can't both leave the field alive. And so, for now, one of them will have to go. Until their next encounter, then. But at least this time, ASova leaves with the reassurance that he can be loved. Even if it's only love from himself, he has it.

Ok I'm Done Now

And that's the end of the yap sesh phew LOL. I've left out a billion things but it's like 3am and I can't be here forever... I hope my point came across clearly enough and that any weird inconsistencies or holes in my thinking aren't too nasty because my ass aint gonna beta/edit this shit. If you read this all the way thru, thanks for braving through this behemoth of a post U_U)9 Also I hope this creates more Owling fans or at least some interest in the ship somewhat HAHA

what’s I,the gold (i feel like you have better taste than me. So)

eheheeeEEEEEEE

Okay so september 5th 2024, someone on youtube, “summer bloom”, released a short video “it is i, the gold” which, as far as i know, was the start of this project;

later, they released the song “AXOLOTL” (ITS AN ABSOLUTE BANGER SERIOUSLY I LOVE IT SO MUCH AND AAAAAA)

so anyways that was the first part of i, the gold !!!!

yesterday-ish they posted this;

which has the link to their new website as well as some hints to the riddles !! because ON THE WEBSITE THEY HAVE LOTS OF RIDDLES AND STUFF TO DECIPHER WHICH IS PERFECT FUEL FOR MY RAPIDLY GROWING HYPERFIXATION

AAEEEEEEEEAAA

anyways yeeee !!!!! with time they will be making more stuff and the website has a lot of hidden or not-so-hidden riddles to solve which i’m trying to do at the moment :DD

(((HEHEHEHEEEEHEHEHHEHEE I FINALLY HAVE SOMETHING TO WORK ON AGAIN RAHHHH IM SO HAPPY)))

i could yap more but for your sake i’m trying to keep it short and understandable

[chopprface]

Hello fellow Beast Wars enjoyer! :) I love to hear people yapping about their faves. What’s your favorite thing about Depth Charge that you spend the most time thinking about? His design, story, etc.?

Please feel free to go off lol I need more fuel for the Depth Charge hyperfixation

OH ABSOLUTELY

i probably spend the most time thinking about his design honestly, when i first started drawing the beast wars cast i had a hard time with his helm and kinda have my own hc design for his head with goggles and more pronounced 'gills' heres a little repost of a study of how i like to draw him hehe

hes honestly such a fun character to think about because theres simultaneously a lot and barely anything to work with. like optimus primal mentions how he wasnt always such an asshole and it fuels me. what was he like prior to the omicron massacre, and how does he process the survivors guilt that came after? theres a lot of ways to interpret him purely off the vagueness of his backstory and i love that..

i feel like him and rampage feed into their characterization, especially in their dialogue. "Like you had no time for starbase rugby? You had friends there! As I recall.. Tasty ones, too!" they just have so many memorable lines and they wouldn't be the same characters without eachother, and i find it a real shame that depth charge and rampage/protoform x's dynamic hasn't been explored more in other TF media! its a crime to have characters with such potential that are basically forgotten in the greater franchise, though i suppose there are lots of examples of that with how character-bloated a lot of transformers media can be at times.

I think its also worth noting the fact depth charge and rampage are shipped pretty often by fans of the show! not personally my favorite pairing but its definitely an interesting interpretation of their dynamic with eachother.. rivals with romantic/sexual tension are lots of fun to write, and i think similar to stories about their dynamic with added romantic/sexual tensions are always pretty interesting, did they grow attached to eachother before or after rampage escaped omicron, are their feelings mutual, or is it more of a one sided thing for either of them? lots of places to take ramcharge i think.

i could yap further but i just got home and im probably about to pass out for a nap.. I may reblog this later with some further thoughts or reply to reblogs and such!

[foxthehunted]

Talking about Fialia :-)

Warning this is all yapping about an oc x canon I made last year and forgot about, randomly got hyperfixated on them and gave them lore, please excuse any issues in the story :-)

Tw for child neglect

Fiammetta’s backstory (simplified)

Fiammetta is a sea monster who lives somewhat close to the bottom of the ocean with her mother. Her father was killed by sea monster hunters. Fiammetta’s mother is neglectful, barely caring about her whereabouts and never talking to her. This drives Fiammetta to Portorosso. She had usually only people-watch with her head barely above water, but decided to test her luck after witnessing Alberto change to his sea monster form with no town reaction. This is where she meets Giulia, and the two grow so close that Fiammetta travels to Genova by sea just to continue hanging out with her. Eventually she returns home so her mother doesn’t think she died. Everything goes smoothly until Fiammetta decides to make the travel to Genova again during the spring. But her mother, Annamaria, has already been somewhat suspicious of her behavior and says she’ll be joining Fia. Fiammetta attempts to make her mother stay, but Annamaria questions her daughter until she breaks down and reveals the truth. Shes befriended a human and Annamaria can easily see that Fia has fallen in love with Giulia. She responds by tying her to an old abandoned anchor.

(there’s a lot to Annamaria that I won’t get into due to it just not being completely fleshed out, however her actions are selfish and out of her inability to recognize Fiammetta as her own person, not just her daughter)

Fiammetta does not accept this, and struggles for days trying to free herself, scrubbing the rope on rocks, shells, chewing on it, scratching it with her feet, and eventually freeing herself. She wastes no time returning to the surface and falling into Giulia’s arms.

Aftermath

Fiammetta experiences a LOT of guilt for loving Giulia, her mother’s reaction made her feel like her love for Giulia was wrong and disgusting. She tries to suppress her feelings to the point of not letting Giulia hug or touch her and avoiding her. Only when they’re alone and Giulia confronts Fiammetta about her behavior is when she finally breaks, spilling her feelings towards Giulia like a waterfall. I like to think that Giulia also had a crush on her and was quite obvious about it, but Fia was so stressed she never recognized it. I don’t think the two would instantly become a couple despite their shared feelings, Fiammetta still needs time adjusting and learning her feelings aren’t wrong.

Fun stuff now!!

Headcanons I have for them

Fiammetta absolutely loves gelato, in fact, she’ll ask Giulia to buy her some each time they pass the shop. Her favorite flavor is chocolate.

Fiammetta loves to rest her head on Giulia’s shoulder. Sitting down together on a bench? Sitting on the beach? Sitting at all? She’ll rest her head on her shoulder.

Fiammetta isn’t a good singer, however while she was underwater and tied to the anchor, she practiced singing the songs Giulia had shown her before. Now, she’s just decent. Giulia and her will sing those songs together.

Fiammetta probably chopped all her hair off once and had a bob for a while, though her hair grows much faster than humans. (Honestly the fact her hair can grow much faster than normal probably added fuel to the intrusive decision)

Fiammetta adores fashion, sometimes she’ll try on a bunch of clothes at the store only to buy absolutely none of them since she never has money. Store employees hate to see Fiammetta coming.

She needs to cool in order to sleep comfortably. Despite that, she’ll cuddle Giulia in bed even if it means not falling asleep until midnight.

Songs that remind me of this story

Fiammetta would love this song, and it fits her well.

This song reminds me of Fiammetta and Annamaria’s complicated relationship.

Ik you’ve probably heard this song a lot lately but it fits Fiammetta I swear.

Fiammetta and her emotions

If you read this far then tysm!! I love talking about my ocs and I’m glad you were interested enough to look at this! I’ll try to do more of these with my other ocs.. I’m going to bed now.

Uvonaga yapping under the cut ^_^

Don’t read if u hate this ship plzzzz I am so sick of the haters pls just scroll brah… if get another cmmt abt how “they were just friends” I’m gonna crash out yes I know just let me enjoy my own hyperfixation vro 😔

Okay I had to get this thought out cause I know if I fall asleep now I’ll forget it

I was thinking about how Uvogin’s relationship with Nobunaga was described, versus how we saw him with Shalnark. It’s interesting- from that interaction with Shal you’d think he’d be the most affectionate in the group, the one who’s the least afraid of showing his appreciation towards the others. But apparently, he wasn’t like this with Nobunaga. Why might that be?

So let’s get into this; According to Franklin, both Nobunaga and Uvogin were unable to talk about much they enjoyed being in the other’s company when they’d get paired up. Also, Uvogin would never admit that he liked fighting with Nobunaga by his side. He said he only liked fighting alone. But when he was with Nobunaga, he automatically got stronger. Because fighting for the sake of someone else, someone he loved, it fueled him. Uvogin liked protecting Nobunaga, though he never admitted it. Not because Nobunaga is weak, but because his hatsu isn’t suited for large groups of people, and therefor Uvo would feel responsible if something were to happen to him.

Now, with Franklin’s words in mind, let’s access why Uvo would be embarrassed admitting he liked having Nobunaga with him when fighting, while simultaneously kissing Shal on the cheek without any trouble, especially considering Uvo is stated to be much closer to Nobunaga than anyone else.

I think it’s because his relationship with Nobunaga was much different than his relationship with Shal. He was able to to show affection to Shal without much thought because his friendship with Shalnark is very causal. He felt grateful, and he felt like showing it in the moment, because he was confident in their relationship. He knew it wouldn’t change anything between them; he was just thankful. But with close he is to Nobunaga, showing affection like that might actually mean something.

I’m NOT saying this is what’s canon, I’m just spitballing possible answers. It’s impossible to actually tell what was going on in his head. Here are some of the things I’ve thought of as explanations (all uvonaga biased not sorry):

- What he feels for Nobunaga is just fundamentally different from what he feels for Shalnark. A causal friendship versus a deep friendship, and one is harder to admit for him. (is it really a friendship?)

- He’s not embarrassed, but he feels no need to verbally show affection towards Nobunaga because they’re both aware of how much they care for each other, even if they fight occasionally.

- He doesn’t want something changing in their relationship if he were to show the same level of affection towards Nobunaga.

- Him and Nobunaga simply have a different relationship structure, and he acts a different way around different people.

It’s late. I’m tired. I might update this in the morning. I HAD to get this out tho. If ur a non uvonaga shipper and u have an explanation that’s normal pls tell me cause I genuinely cannot see a heterosexual explanation for this but that’s cause I’m uvonaga brainrotted

Good night uvonaga Nation im sleepy I wrote this at midnight ignore any mistakes plz

Another match made, this time for @sugutoad ! Thanks for giving me so much info to work. I probably didn’t include everything, but feel free if you want to reach out for something more specific. Enjoy!

tw - discussion of suicide, discussion of suicide methods, discussion of mental disorders

you Bongou Stray Dogs matchup is… OSAMU DAZAI !!

• Dazai would be best for you! That mix of crazy but relatable seems to be something you enjoy, and what no better the the freakster himself. He’s not to mean to not care though, so that’s why I gave you him!

• Dazai is very carefree, and will either mess around with you to make you forget about your troubles, or take care of things himself (usually without you knowing). He somewhat take you under his wing in a way.

• He’s also the type to tell it like it is, sharing a bit of positivity here and there. It goes nice with your realism.

•He’s also very passionate and often hyperfixates on things! Like suicide for example. He wants to do a double suicide with you lmao.

• Dazai is a curious cat, and often likes to hear the gossip. He serves absolute cunt for that. The two of you love to share tea and learn tea from others too! Honestly, it’s probably the thing that got you two connected to each other at first, if Dazai didn’t already try to flirt with you.

• Instead of really going blank like you do, Dazai’s mind is constantly running and he’ll happily bring you back down to Earth if you need it. Simple daydreams he’ll let slide if you guys aren’t on any missions or something important.

• Most of his jokes are really funny, and theirs just other times he’s funny without even realizing it. He thinks you’re too adorable to not get a chuckle out of, and sometimes he’ll break down laughing if you say something out of left field. It’s hilarious!

• Dazai used to be a really strict guy, but nowadays he’s more chilled out. You wouldn’t need to go through that strict nonsense again. If you ever bring it up with Dazai, he’ll try even harder to be more of a good person. It just reminds him that where he is now is best.

• He loves showering people in compliments, and you’re no different! He compliments anytime he gets! Though brings it back during more intimate moments.

• While he may not be able to wrap his head around your anxiety of other people too much, he just validates it as a huge difference you two have, and gladly confides in you when you need someone to speak for you.

• He can be a little tone deaf sometimes, and if you ever talk about feeling down he’ll probably mention the double suicide thing again. PLEASE dont EVER listen to him,

• In actuality, I’d say to try a hand at the bright side! You have a loving boyfriend and a loving community within the Armed Detective Agency. They’re basically your guard dogs by the way, if you aren’t already a part of their group.

• Fuck other people who don’t want to hear you yap about shit! Dazai LOVES hearing you talk about your passions! Very rarely does he stop you, and he likes to ask follow up questions just to fuel the obsession! He’s a great person to talk to when you start to hyperfixate on something.

• Dazai mostly leaves you alone if you ask, but he’s also kinda clingy. Just don’t be away for too long, or he’ll get more and more needy.

• Dazai is a strong believer that it doesn’t matter what you wear! He’s the kind of guy that thinks you look good in everything, and will always find something about your outfit that he loves the most.

• He’s definitely a pretty boy, and well..he came from the mafia, so he definitely still has an edge to him. Some of his tendencies can even linger from time to time. I’d say he’s your type!

• He loves going out and about when he can, especially for walks! It would be the perfect date for the two of you to walk around and enjoy yourselves, most likely talking about something for hours on end to the point where Kunikida would call you guys and ask where the hell you were.

Dazai can be very patient, and I’d say he’s the perfect boyfriend for you that is willing to be your shoulder to cry on, as well as an anchor. Just don’t mind him being a little screwed up in the head. <3

your My Hero Academia matchup is… EIJIRO KIRISHIMA !!

• Kirishima would be best for you! Kaminari is a close second, though I figured he may be too silly for your liking.

• Now, I figure you’d be looking forward to having a villain for your match, however, you also said you wanted someone who you could relate and confide in. Almost all of the villains (except for maybe Toga) would not give a shit or understand why you need that shoulder to lean on. If any of them do care it’s most likely for a manipulative reason. I would’ve probably picked Toga if it weren’t for your preference. Hopefully that makes sense!

• You may bump heads with Kirishima from time to time, especially during times where Kirishima is way too nice. Not every relationship is perfect though, and from this he can possibly teach you to liven up sometimes, as much as you teach him to be more grounded.

• He’s a chill and lax guy, and will definitely help you calm down in any situation you need a hand on. He’s honestly the best at pep talk and lending a reassuring hand. As such, he’ll never get to exhausted will how many times you fall back down to the ground. He’ll always be there to get you back up again!

• Kirishima is also really passionate about the things he loves! He adores to hear you talk about thing, similar to Dazai. He’d be especially appreciative if you let him yap about his aspirations too!

• His humor is a lot like yours, and basically what the whole Baku Squad finds funny! Aside from Bakugou himself of course, cause just a dick. I can definitely see you being a part of their friend group though!

• Kirishima hate being super strict, but understands restrictions on some things for everyone’s safety. As long as you aren’t doing anything that will cause you or others harm, he doesn’t mention anything. What’s the bother anyway?

• Kirishima has tough skin, literally, and will become your shield metaphorically and literally. He hates seeing you cry, I breaks his heart so bad. He’d take over the world to make you happy!

• A part of me feels like Kirishima might have his own lingering depression by just how much he tries to fit himself in. Please just have his back as much as he has yours.

• In his eyes, there’s no such thing as daydreaming to much..unless you’re in literal danger but i doubt that would be the case. Daydreaming is a healthy coping mechanism. Sure it can distract from important things, but there’s worse things you could be doing. Especially during those times where you want to be occupied in your own world, Kirishima will give you space.

• The fact you get angry easily? Well, it’s not the first time he’s dealt with someone like that, heh. I’m sure you’re a lot more tame than you-know-who.

• Kirishima is a GREAT listener. I swear he picks up on everything and remembers a lot. He definitely keeps track of your needs and wants. Gifts, if you’re into that, are very thoughtful as well.

• He loves giving out hugs! Sometimes they might be very random, but hey, if you like hugs that much it shouldn’t be a problem. For him your softer body makes it even better!

• Much like Dazai, Kirishima loves to be out and about doing stuff, whatever gets the blood going! Unlike Dazai though, he only goes out when he has the free time. If he has work to do, he’ll most likely postpone his time with you. It’s worth the wait though, because you guys end up having a wonderful time together!

• Even though he might’ve not been what you expected, I do think Kirishima is a wonderful match for you!

Hi! Saw u repost the thing abt the Gaza scam msgs and honestly same so l wanted to send u a real ask.

are you currently hyperfixated on smth u want to yap about?

what's a song u think is rly

underrated/overrated/just appropriately rated?

anything u want to tell abt urself or a talk about that u rly want to but never comes up organically in normal conversations so you can't?

anyways that's everything (:

Have a good day!!

hey thanks this is really nice

im currently obsessed with the new pinkpantheress mixtape, i think the melodies and samples are some of the best of her career and the mixing is untouchable. its so much fun and such a standout project from start to finish. i think the sub 2:30 songs work better here cuz theres a ton of transitions between songs and it really masks how short some of them are. its very reminiscent of magdalena bay's mini mixes

and idk about a specific song but i can say an artist i think thats super underrated is inji, (the story is) shes a college student in school for music, she and her friend made a song that went viral on tiktok and theyve just kinda kept pumping out singles. her lyrics have some peaks and valleys for sure but she utilizes a lot of different pop and club production across her catalogue and shes always doing fun and interesting things and not taking herself too seriously. gaslight, madeline, bellydancing, and nice to meet you are discography highlights but honestly every song is worth a listen cuz shes always trying new sounds. and its just FUN. we need more fun in this day and age.

thanks for the ask!!!!! talking about music fuels my soul

Hello, World!

Welcome to Glasses+Gazebos! ( AKA R+E :)

blog backstory: i hope i'm not too late to the game but i'm extremely obsessed with reddie (to a problematic degree). except my family + friends are sufficiently tired of hearing me nonstop yapping to them and my head will literally explode if i keep my thoughts to myself so i've decided to join tumblr! as of right now i'm planning for this blog to consist of random shower thoughts and original fanart! i also hope to turn my art into animatics in the future! though to be honest i don't know if tumblr will help to cure my hyperfixation or just fuel it more...
