MOAB subliminal challenge

(Click links)

The Mother of All Boosters, commonly known as MOAB, is a high-potency subliminal booster originally created by the user ItsaKid (also known as Synergeticboy). Developed over the course of nine months and upgraded in three, MOAB is engineered to serve as the foundational accelerator for any subliminal system, built with both speed and complexity in mind. While multiple versions exist, MOAB 1.0 remains the go-to for those prioritizing rapid, concentrated results. It activates deep neural, energetic, and subconscious layers, effectively removing resistance, integrating affirmations faster, and collapsing the delay between intention and manifestation.

MOAB is structured around a modular design system—each formula is written in code-like expressions, such as {B} = {Topic} or {S} = {Topic[Submaker (Formula)] × Topic[Submaker (Formula)]}. These modules allow users to target specific goals (like confidence, wealth, or void state access) and fuse them together to multiply their effects. The booster works in tandem with these scripts, interpreting them like psychic commands. MOAB 1.0 is optimized for velocity: it initiates a kind of subliminal combustion that prioritizes speed over subtlety, making it ideal for users who are mentally stable and spiritually prepared for rapid transformations.

We will be using 1.0 rather than 2.0 because it focuses on speed. In essence, MOAB 1.0 acts like a raw psychic amplifier. It does not hold back. It is especially compatible with other generative subliminals, morphic fields, or void-based systems. When paired with clean scripting and a clear mental field, MOAB doesn’t just boost results—it warps time around them, often collapsing what would take weeks into hours or days. Due to its sheer intensity, scripting clarity, hydration, and intentionality are strongly recommended. This is not a casual track—it is the Paragon Core for speedrunners of the subconscious realm.

If you’d rather use your own subliminals instead of the ones I picked, you’ll need to learn and research how the module system works on your own. Direct any specific questions to the original creator on Reddit or to ishteham. I just don’t have time to build individual module setups for everyone. :)

The challenge

This challenge is extremely simple and honestly, you don’t even need to overthink it or do deep research unless you want to. I’ve already done the work for you. Everything is set up. The subs are chosen, the formula is written. All you have to do is follow the steps below and stay consistent.

1. Every morning, listen to the MOAB Booster. (Download here)

It’s about 45 minutes long. If you’re short on time, just set an alarm for an hour before you need to wake up, play it, and go back to sleep. That’s it. One listen per day.

Then, throughout the day (and overnight if you’d like), listen to the two subliminals I’ve assigned for this challenge. You can loop them while you work, study, sleep—whatever works for you.

2. Make a playlist called: MOAB Challenge

Add these two subliminals to it:

Infinite abundance by moza mroph

Problem solving by slade

These are your daily subs. Listen whenever you feel called, or just keep them looping gently in the background during the day or while you sleep.

3.important (!!!)

Save this in your Notes, Google Docs, or wherever you track subliminals. DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. This is your energetic formula. Just copy and paste it lol.

{S}= {infinite abundance[Moza morph (C.O.D)]} X{Problem solving[Submaker (Formula)]}

{S}= {infinite abundance[Moza morph (C.O.D)]} X{Problem solving[slade (thestral wings)]}

{B} = {Lucid Dreaming}

{B} = {Manifesting}

{B} = {Reality Shifting}

{B} = {Self Concept}

{B} = {Luck}

{B} = {Wealth Building}

{B} = {Mental Health}

{B} = {Void State}

{B} = {Lucid Dreaming(G)}

{B} = {Manifesting(G)}

{B} = {Reality Shifting(G)}

{B} = {Self Concept(G)}

{B} = {Luck(G)}

{B} = {Wealth Building(G)}

{B} = {Mental Health(G)}

{B} = {Void State(G)}

{R}= {Infinite Abundance [Moza Morph (C.O.D)]}

{R}= {Problem Solving [Slade (Thestral Wings)]}

{C} = {MOAB Challenge}

{H} = {Lucid Dreaming}

{H} = {Manifesting}

{H} = {Reality Shifting}

{H} = {Self Concept}

{H} = {Luck}

{H} = {Wealth Building}

{H} = {Mental Health}

{H} = {Void State}

If you’re using your own subliminals instead of the ones I provided, you’ll need to create your own formula and module sheet. If you have questions about how to structure them, I recommend reaching out to the creator directly—@Itsakid has a Reddit community and can explain everything way better than I can. He built the system, so you’ll get the most accurate answers there. But here’s the module explanation.

Final words

The subliminals used in this challenge also work perfectly with the Lucid Dreaming Challenge so if you want to combine both, go for it.

That’s it. I lucid dreamt immediately using this method. It’s simple but powerful especially if you’ve struggled with manifestation, resistance, or stagnancy. The booster handles integration.

FINALLY locked in and opened the store again after my one con during the semester lmao erm anyway link in bio

Rbs very appreciated bc I got slapped in the face with a $5000 vet bill last month for this expensive gentleman ⬇️

(Also hoping to open commissions sometime…… soonish…..)

[clanwarrior-tumbly]

Since Dream BBQ released I got an idea. Can you do Meanie!ENA x Shy!Fem! Reader where reader is from the human world and works as ENA's salespartner. You can also add teasing/limes if you'd like.

Yay! First Ena request since 2021 (I think lol)

I'll leave out the last part so this is completely sfw

....................

"You know, I'm still impressed that you could understand all these people. Are language barriers just...nonexistent here?"

"Barriers? What a silly prospect, dearest." Ena chuckled as she looked at the list of jobs you were both assigned to carry out. "Let's proceed onwards. Everything we do will bring us one step closer to--turning off that goddamn smoke and giving the Boss a piece of my mind!!"

"Wah!" You jumped back in fright as her "meanie" side started yelling out of the blue, crushing the paper in her grasp.

Having known her for so long, you should be used to this being a daily occurrence...yet somehow she never fails to startle you.

"Did you forget the mission?! This isn't a date!! Put those squishy eyes to work and start looking for that last pet...or baby..or..or whatever!!"

"...y-yes ma'am." Sighing, you tried to shake off your nerves and search for the final trail of blood, not wanting to get her any angrier.

You weren't sure how you winded up together, or how you even got thrown into this strange world in the first place, but Ena was the first to find you. She dragged you into her "business", where you also met Froggy and learned more about what they did.

While you didn't fully understand everything, you knew this much: you've been going around doing favors for people who, for some reason, despised Ena's species. Even if you didn't know what they were saying, their general attitude towards her implies that she did something really, really terrible...or they could be mistaking another Ena's actions for hers.

But you didn't know anything about her past, nor what her kind might've did except exist, though it was through your intervention alone that helped most clients to calm down.

Sometimes, it was difficult for you to speak up given your shy demeanor, which hasn't quite left your personality even now. Although with time it got easier, and Ena helped you come out of that shell more and more.

Of course, you made sure clients fully paid you both for your services--but instead of using cash like you expected, the popular currency here was apparently "chocolates". They were edible, although Ena advised you to hold onto them.

So this was pretty much your new life, and somewhere down the line she became your girlfriend. Her "Salesperson" side loved you dearly and made sure you didn't put yourself in any danger, often speaking on your behalf.

The only problem was getting along with her Meanie side to where her outbursts didn't scare you anymore, and perhaps...you could uncover that bit of softness hiding behind her rough exterior.

That became your mission, and you hoped to make at least a little bit of progress if you're going through all of this trouble to find the Genies and convince them to clear the smoke.

After finding the last pet and bringing it back to Shoryo, you received a handful of chocolates. It was then you realized you've lost track of Ena and searched around the land, eventually finding her near the bridge.

A ratlike person was seemingly guarding it, hoarding different things and looking very alarmed at her presence.

He began yelling in Italian, stomping around and flailing his arms about until suddenly--

He collapsed, fainting much like a goat would when startled. But he stopped moving entirely, and Ena just stared down at him.

"What the hell? I was gone for five minutes!" Mortified, you rushed over and kneeled down. "Sir, can you hear me? Are you-?"

"Don't even tell me you were gonna say "alright". What does it look like?!"

"We have to help him, Ena." Looking up, you saw Meanie's expression remain unchanged, and you sighed. "Please. I know the lost witch probably went over this bridge, but..it feels wrong to cross without his permission."

"....."

"Pretty please?"

"....ugh fine. Let me at him." With a huff, she urged you to move aside while she somehow magically revived the hoarder, who seldom thanked you both and apologized for his outburst.

The stresses of his work were creeping up on him, and apparently he was growing paranoid of the purple villager who stood on a nearby decrepit building, convinced they were scheming to take his "property".

So he tasked--or demanded, rather--that you covered their eyes with something.

Eventually, your aimless wandering led you to a small green alien who was trapped within a bubblegum vending machine with three legs. They were eager to sell you products, but after recognizing Ena, they seemed frightened and insisted they couldn't sell anything to her.

"Okay, now you're being ridiculous." You frowned. "You have something we want, and we're trying to-"

"Guys, guys! Wait!!"

Turning to your girlfriend, you could see Meanie's eyes growing wide--as though she was terrified of something. Her head was spinning, her limbs discombobulating.

It was unlike anything you've seen before. "Ena..?"

"I'M NOT DOING WHAT YOU SAY I'M DOING!!" She yelled out. "I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING!! I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING AT ALL-!"

"Ena! Hey. Hey."

Feeling hands on her shoulders, she suddenly looked at you. Her eyes were still wide, but she had seemingly returned to reality as she calmed down. "[Y/n]?"

"Yeah, it's me." You reassured, moving to take her shaking hands into yours. "You're alright. I believe you."

"........"

Somehow, the vending machine alien was moved by your words, and allowed her to buy one thing and one thing only: mayonnaise that was apparently good for the eyes, but you both knew what to do with it.

Before setting off to complete the hoarder's request, you wandered around a bit to see if anybody else needed help.

But you kept thinking back to Ena's apparent panic attack and stopped for a moment, clearing your throat. "So...um-"

"You heard nothing."

"....did you even know what I was gonna-?"

"Don't back-sass me, sweetheart!" She spun around to face you angrily, fists shaking. "You wanna walk the road alone?!"

"No." You put your hands up in defense. "I'd....much rather walk it with you. Wherever it might lead us, I hope we can face it together."

Meanie blinked, surprised by your words. They sounded so sweet, so endearing...and it made a slight blush rise to that specific side of her face. "Ugh....y-you're lucky you're cute." She grumbled, handing you the paper. "Let's just go find that bug-eyed moron and be done with this."

"Alright." Nodding, you led the way, although occasionally you'd glance back at your girlfriend to see her geometric claws trying to cover up the blush--to no avail. You smiled sweetly, and she just stared at you, the burning sensation getting worse. "You know, you're not too bad, Meanie."

"What did you do to me? Why does my face feel like it's on fire??"

"It's called "being bashful", honey. Humans feel that sometimes, especially around the person they love." You winked.

She just mumbled something unintelligible, her hat hiding her eyes from you, but you both kept continuing forward.

'Huh, there's a way to crack through that exterior after all..'

Neteyam's first birthday!

Language notes under the cut:

so, the third panel there: Jake doesn't forget what day it is, he just has no idea how to express "May 28th" in Na'vi, so he switches to English.

The Na'vi of course don't traditionally use the 12-month calendar we have here on Earth. However, there is a way to express such dates in the language...mostly, I suspect, for the convenience of us nerdy fans who want to talk about our humany matters in Na'vi lol, but I believe the in-universe explanation is that they learned about it from Grace and only really use the terms if they need to talk in sky people timetables for whatever reason.

Because it's a borrowed concept, the terms are quite literal descriptions: "month" is vospxì, which is short for vosìpxì zìsìtä, literally meaning "one-twelfth of a year". To name specific months, you just add their number: May is therefore vospxìmrr, essentially "one-twelfth-of-the-year number five".

As for the day, that's actually a little trickier because Na'vi counts in base 8, not base 10. Instead of thinking of this number as two-tens-plus-eight like we do, they'd think of it as three-eights-plus-four: pxevosìng. Unless you're very good at math (which I am not lol), these decimal-to-octal conversions can be really hard to keep track of/calculate on the fly even before you try to start applying the Na'vi vocabulary!

All that to say, "May 28th" in Na'vi would be something along the lines of trr apxevosìve vospxìmrrä - 28th day of May, or most literally, "28th day of one-twelfth-of-the-year number 5".

...yeah, I don't blame Jake for just switching back to English for this 😅

on a much smaller note, I am not 100% certain that the adverb nìpxi can be used in this sense of "exactly/precisely", but I asked around among some other speakers and they generally agree that it's the best option available so I'm gonna roll with it. If it turns out to be wrong, well, I can always fall back on the "it's Jake" excuse lol

[goomyloid]

Can you tell me about your dt player. Since from the way you portray them they aren’t meant to be you. Kinda your oc in a way huh. It’s a cool depiction so that’s why I’m curious.

well today is your lucky day because i literally just filled out this chart right before answering this:

basically my version of them is thoroughly mentally disconnected from all consequences, because everything is just a game to them.

apathetic with only the desire to see what happens, and what becomes of kris and noelle (in the weird route). They always just barely have the upper hand; if things don't proceed down a certain path (i.e. aborted weird route or something) it's only because they allowed for it to happen. kris is very smart, but 'our' knowledge just objectively surpasses theirs in every way. for the most part.

i guess if i had to describe them as a real-life player, it would be the kind of person that plays all the routes without feeling bad about it, someone that somehow doesnt feel as though they're entirely to blame for the story going this way. (they taunt kris over this, maybe just to pick at their brain to get a look of how they're feeling about all of this.)

after all, deltarune is a game. it's meant to be played, it's only natural that people will want to pick it apart inside and out with its level of popularity. nothing should make a player feel bad about playing the game that they bought and spent time on.

regardless of one's investment in the characters, the world is simply not real to us. but in terms of vessel specifically talking to kris or something, it's not like THEY'RE the one saying "kris you're not real lol" or anything like that, it's more so their existence as a 'watcher' of sorts outside the bounds of comprehensible reality renders them in a similar position as us, someone in control and free from any consequences (presumably), letting kris and co. take the brunt of all your wrongdoings.

there's all of that, but i also like to portray them as being more on the extreme side, going as far as to treat characters fictional even when said character is standing right in front of them.

the 'commodification' of noelle plays into this a lot i think. we haven't seen it much in game so far, but we get the implied player attachment to her via treating kris as a self-insert of sorts just so you can get weirdly, creepily close to and controlling over noelle. it comes off more as vessel only wanting to be close to noelle and kind of discarding kris, just like they once were (lol).

the player's funny little fixation on noelle definitely throws a wrench in things kris-and-noelle-relationship wise, because this Thing is masquerading as kris, and noelle (and maybe toriel to a degree) is the only person able to tell something's wrong. it's almost like Hikaru Ga Shinda Natsu in a way -- your friend has been replaced, and you're the only person to notice just because you know them so well. it comes down to noelle's heart and ability to see through whatever vessel throws at her, if she'll be able to reach her hand out and save kris from sinking away before it's too late.

ummm. im getting off track. got too krisellepilled for a sec. VESSEL. i'm definitely not immune to portraying them more lightheartedly sometimes, but when I do that, it's usually in game, more so showing up as the soul instead lol

they're still sarcastic and blunt and weird, but at least they're not crazy destructive and sociopathic. gotta tone it down for the sillies

anyway i think thats all i can think of to say at the moment, if i think of something else big i might add it in a reblog, idk lol. thank you for asking, sorry about the long post!

[midnite-c6]

would you perhaps write patrick teaching reader to jerk off? i loved your childhood friends fics btw!

childhood bsf!patrick zweig x reader warnings: 18+ fem!reader, fingering, jerking off, slight dubcon, mutual masturbation, friends with benefits

lol this ones short and sweet, this ones kind of based off the scene where patrick talks abt how he taught art to jerk off~ ♡⁠(⁠˃��⁠ ⁠દ⁠ ⁠˂͈⁠ ⁠༶⁠ ⁠) other childhood bsf patrick smut is this and this !

～ˆつ⁠｡⁠☆ your best friend, patrick zweig, finally got back home for the summer from his fancy boarding school for tennis, and you'd be absolutely ecstatic. especially since you've missed him. he's out there doing big boy tennis outside the city and you're still living in your child-hood home, trying to figure out what to do in life!

though it was tradition, every time he comes back from boarding school the two of would always be inside your house and in your room hanging out. this summer was nothing different, though he'd try to convince you this time that you and him were both too old for silly slumber parties! yet you begged patrick to visit you for the last time, he owed it you anyway, being gone for so long.

the following night would end with the two of you tiring each other out rambling on about life stories about his fancy tennis school and your own school, both sleeping next to each-other in your tiny bed. only for you to wake up in the middle of the night. the light shining from the window allowed you to see patrick sitting on the end of the bed. his feet on the edge, his standing cock sliding in and out of his right hand, the sloppy and wet sounds of the movement were barely muffled. his shirt was lifted up so he could bite the end of it, silencing his own whines in case you wake up, in which, you did.

you slowly sit up, rubbing your eyes with your hands, trying to un-blur the sight in front of you. "pat'...?" he stops in his tracks, caught red-handed, he'd internally curse himself on why he would do such a risky thing, but it's patrick, of course he'd do it, he has no shame.

"shit- yeah. what?" he says as he puts his dick back inside his shorts, rubbing the residue of his pre-cum on the thin fabric. ew. he's glad you wouldn't notice.

"you're... doing something." he pushes you with his 'clean' hand back to lay down on the mattress. "yeah, i'm doing something. go back to sleep." you immediately sit back up. eyes wide and curious as you finally take in what he was doing. "you're mastur- masturbating." the words leave your mouth like it was a curse, something that you don't usually say. something that you can't say at all.

"just go back to sleep, this is adult stuff." he couldn't look at you, being very confused. he'd think you'd be running outside of your house by now, telling on your parents and eventually banning him from your life forever. but you're not. you're even asking questions! "you're only a year older."

"but i know what i'm doing." you frowned, something he could still see despite the barely-lit room. "i know you're jerking off."

"why are you?" this was all too conflicting for patrick, because he was immediately turned on, by whatever the fuck you were doing to him, he knows you weren't asking these questions to mess with him and that you were actually curious, but that only adds up to the thrill. his right hand would now move past his waistband and try to find his twitching cock again, rubbing on it slightly as he grunts.

"because i can't... sleep." reasonable explanation, everyone does it once in awhile. "what do you think about while you do it?"

you. he almost says, though thank the heavens he groaned instead, due to being annoyed by your countless questions, and that he's unmistakably getting closer to the edge, "nobody! or, somebody. just what do you want? go back to sleep, this isn't what you wanna do right now."

"how do you jerk off?" you never fail to ask patrick the most stupidest questions, questions that make him ache even more against his hand. "what. you gonna start doing it too?" and you stare at him deadpan, nodding. "fuck off." he turns away from you and you tug on the collar of his shirt from the back to make him look at you, "pat'! i'm serious!"

he fully turns to face you, eye to eye, making you take a good look of the aching cock that he's holding, a tight grip from frustration, not moving like he was edging himself. "just touch yourself!" his eyes would roam to your thighs, covered by your pajamas, "but, how? how do i touch so it'll feel good?"

"just touch yourself... you'll know when it'll feel good, i don't know everything!" you sigh, your own hand coming to move to the in-between of your thighs, rubbing slightly on your clothed core, though it didn't feel good, you felt nothing. patrick would stare, you were doing it wrong, he thinks, but was he even supposed to look at you like this? it feels like he should shut his eyes or turn away, but he couldn't. he just couldn't. "it doesn't feel like anything."

"do it under your panties, idiot." you take off your shorts and underwear so that he could slightly see a tinge of what you were touching. yet you were still doing it wrong. ugh. "not like that." he takes your hand that was working in-between your legs, positioning your index and middle finger onto your clit. "rub that." you do as he says, finding it to be working, it finally felt good, unfamiliar yet delicious. "oh... yeah." your eyes were turning glossy, your breath was more rigid, and patrick could notice every time you were slowly coming undone. you were too easy, really.

"you're not done. you have to put it inside your... hole." he wasn't taught to teach this. to you out of all people. "both?" "if you can take it. then yeah." you shove both your middle and pointer finger inside. he's glad he didn't have to guide you there too. a high-pitched whine comes out from your mouth. you whined his name. fuck, out of everything you could whine about. "do i move?" he could only nod, fear of embarrassingly moaning in-front of you if he did speak. your fingers barely had a rhythm, it looked like it didnt feel good for you.

"then... what do i think about?" you huffed, "... uh... any crushes?" you shake your head, your dizziness was blurring your vision "i don't know..." he smiles, "then, just, look at me.. yeah?" and you both stare down into each other's eyes, panting heavily, breathy moans harmonizing with the need to cum, conveniently in-front of your 'best friend forever', "look at my dick." he orders, "you see what i'm doing?" he gestures about the way he was moving his hand on his dick, with an incredibly tight hold (maybe replicating the way you'd be so tight), in a slow yet rhythmic pace. "copy that, but with your... fingers moving inside."

you do as he says, you're body was responding well with your hands, grinding against your tiny fingers as your hips move back and forth, your tongue slipping out from your mouth trying to concentrate. barely able to reach his own pace he ordered you to do. "feel good?" he checks in, even though he was wrecked himself as he pumps his dick faster and faster, so you would further speeden up the pace on yourself. "yes. yes. really..."

"you feel something in your lower stomach? that's when you know you're gonna cum." you squirm, indicating you were close, the room was suddenly too hot, and everything felt ten times more messy. "oh-my- i'll make' a mess." "it's okay." he gives you permission, like it wasn't your bed that you were messing up.

you finally cum, sweat beading down your forehead as you catch your breath, looking at patrick who also cums right after you. white residue would make your shorts and bedsheets damp. you look at him all concerned and worried, your eyes asking for approval of: "did i do it right?" and he gives you a signature shit-eating grin,

"you can do better." maybe you guys weren't too old for sleep-over's and slumber parties after all.

to the ppl who r requesting challengers ILY i need more challenger fans

[khaoala]

If you have time & will to do it obviously, would you mind sharing some of your favorite fkt moments of 2024? Or any significant moments of them?

-me,the barely-3-months-into-the-fandom

oh jesus, i had to open my events tags tracker for this one and even then, i'm so 100% sure i forgot many amazing moments, but stay with me (needless to say that this is a long one right? i'm sorry, it's a very long one).

i'll start with first's favorite moment of 2024, if you'll let me actually. he said on his last event of 2024 [ #MelaxFirst ] that every moment was special, but especially the ones he was with khaotung, because those moments gave him courage to explore and discover himself more which felt amazing. i have no words for this actually, just let all of this sink for a moment. and it's not even about shipping or being dululu or anything. i'm talking about the trust and care they have for each other and you can see it from miles, i love love this moment.

but now we go back to the beginning of the year, otherwise i'll completely lose track of my thoughts. it feels like it happened a hundred years ago, but you guys, the event where khaotung was nominated for and they separated him not only from first but also earthmix was their first event of 2024 [ FirstKhaotung x 28thATA ]. and let me tell you anon, since you're a baby som, we have this running joke that fk can't be separated, and especially during events, they get even more attached, but since they split the party and left khaotung alone, during the whole ceremony, you'd see first (who was sitting in the first row) looking back at the direction where khaotung was all the time. they were on their phones the whole night and every time he could, khaotung would slip towards his little group. he didn't win, but first wrote, "it's okay, let's win many awards together, don't be sad" and khaotung replied saying that he wasn't the first one to cry.

their first fanmeeting in macau [ #FirstKhaotung1stFMinMacau ]. there's a moment when khaotung talks about how he calls first to talk about his worries and cries to him, and first adds that they are each other's best supporters and safe space for each other. these past few months, there are many people who have been trying to discredit their relationship by saying they are in their divorce era (just because they don't public post their interactions a lot like other artists do) which is insane to me, because these two are like family to each other, and they care deeply about what the other thinks and they are each others' support system. people have been spoiled by joong always giving us content that they forgot that them not posting much is their default.

their trip to rome was very memorable, and very special. it gave us a glimpse into the emfk polycule and i would be dishonest of me not to mention it here. it has some of the best pictures and interactions we've had the pleasure of seeing (look up the tag for their fm at #FirstKhaotung1stFMinRome because a lot of content is in there).

both lol fanfest days gave us amazing content [ FK x LOL2024Day1 FK x LOL2024Day2 ], from the songs they've performed to the words they've said to each other, and let's never forget let's try pirate!version that will be so so difficult to top this year, i'm so serious (day 2 left me unwell for days).

i gotta add emfk being menaces together during the wolverine screening too [ #SFxEMFKxDeadpoolWolverine ], bc listen, it was close to mix's birthday and khaotung gave the the idea to buy him a cake and in the end the one who had to order it was first, and first just picked the flavors he likes instead of catering to mix's taste while earth just observed the three cats being mischievous and laughing their asses off. these four are my everything.

whatever was happening during the international novel festival [ #งานมหกรรมนิยายนานาชาติ2024xFK ] we need it back. they were flirting left and right, first was shooting cupid arrows at khaotung, khaotung was whining bc a fan flirted with him and first went "why are you flirting with my boyfriend? x2", so sweet, so nice.

i know i talk about their birthday events constantly, but pls understand, they mean everything to me. for first's [ #FirstUniverseBDParty2024 ], he was so happy talking through his career and fans and he was crying but the moment khaotung showed up with the cake, boy smiled a smile that i don't even have words. and when khaotung left the stage saying he wanted first to have more time alone with his fans, first went "did you come just for that [bringing the cake]? you can stay longer" and during the messages too, khaotung said "stay with me nanana" like ray and first was holding back tears. first makes my heart really happy, he's such a sweet dude.

and during khaotung's birthday party [ #Khaotung26thBDParty ], we always have the pleasure of having khaotung's mom and sister in these, and let me tell you, she loves first like he's her own son. i think it was fanday 2023 when khaotung's mom attended and khaotung said she came to see first. but anyway!!! khaotung's birthday party. we were lucky enough that mix was also in the birthday event, bc he teamed up with the mc to tease them, and they teased poor first so much, because he was blushing a lot [ 1 2 ]. mix even wished fk to have each other forever which you know, coming from your married friend, means a lot in my eyes. this whole event makes me smile like a mad woman, pls check the tag and enjoy.

the busan saga of course [ ACAGOTT2024 x KHAOTUNG ], that i've talked about here.

thailand headlines person of the year awards [ FIRST KHAOTUNG x TLHL 2024 ] was also iconic, not only because they won an award together (it's a popularity award, and they won the most beloved duo) and khaotung had promised first they'd get an award and go up the stage together, but their vibes were just so nice that day. they were wearing matching lapel flowers with p'tha too which was hilarious to me (and also gave me firstkhao and milklove in the same frame).

the innisfree event [ #INNISFREExFirstKhaotung2024 ] and this one will be short, because despite having many many sweet moments, the one where first asks khaotung is he's good at pleading still lives in my heart.

honorable mentions:

the oned presscon with the cast of only friends was also very nice and it was purely because they were giving us firstkhao overflowing with husbands energy. and the pictures for this one were also so pretty [ oneDoriginalPressCon x FK ].

their valentine's day event was also pretty great [ #พาเฟิร์สข้าวตังมาเดอะมอลล์ ]. first was using khaotung's necklace here, and valentine day events are always nice for flirting.

the taro live stream was actually insane bc they were so giggly and happy and feeding each other and flirting, it was so great [ #TAROxFirstKhaotung ]

khaotung's cerave event [ #CeraVexKhaotung ] because he looked so pretty even though he was wearing a sweater under the midday sun and dripping sweat, so he's here for the effort.

whatever was happening during the skintific livestream [ #SkintificxFK ] they were being so sus, especially when khaotung just casually said, "we woke up together".

nivea's top spender event [ #NIVEALUMINOUSXFIRSTKHAOTUNG ] because husband 2.0 strikes again, especially in this picture like ???? and the cute aggression?

the gmm outing [ #GMMTVOuting2024 ] was also fun, they showed up a lot more than other years, but not so much to make us spoiled. we got possessive khaotung in 144p, and we've got one of my favorite fk pictures:

"you've been friends for a long time. when will you be lovers?"

[ MUSICONHK x KHAOTUNG ] was fantastic, and you might be saying, "but bibi, this is an event with only khaotung, it's not a fkt moment", that's where you're wrong because even though first didn't fly to hong kong this time and stayed in thailand to work out, and p'dorn showed us a picture of him working out while checking the fk tag. and we're almost sure, he was also using first's necklace, too.

firstkhao reacting to the trailer of the heart killers in front of basically the whole thai entertainment industry [ #iQIYIiJOYTH2025 ] (they were sitting right beside yinwar. lysm, englot and bounprem were some of the people who also attended and that's how we got this ywfk photo).

their chongqing fanmeets [ #First1stFSinChongqing #Khaotung1stFSinChongqing ] that happened in different days and they couldn't even interact bc china has terms of service and gmm is very strict about it, but they have us this:

the winter whispers event for the pure married vibes [ #TheWintersWhispersWithFirstKhaotung ].

starlympics where lightning cheetah lost every sport [ FIRSTKHAOTUNG x SLM2024 ] but firstkhao still served married moments by being menaces and serving cunt. that's when we got this picture, too:

first crying because he couldn't find khaotung the hat that he wanted for his birthday that i talk about here.

they went to a couple of concert dates this year, too, which was pretty fun for them and for us. [ 1 2 3 4 5 ]

there was also the boat trip they did with joong that i go on and on about here.

speaking of joong, the kiss incident that joong posted about during ciize's birthday party.

this whole thing when they were recording never back down, i assume.

and to end it all, they spent the new year together.

i know for a fact that i forgot things or left some out because this is ridiculously long, but i do hope you have a good time checking these out anon.

Is there a more useless cape in the bay than triumph?

After much soul searching, wiki browsing and pondering, the answer to that question is yes. Yes there is.

Meet exhibit A: Trevor, AKA Chariot.

The worst fucking tinker to ever live.

Outwardly, very similar to Triumph. Complete mouthbreathing fodder.

What really puts Chariot in 'I would rather have greg veder have this power' tier is the fact that he had so much potential.

Chariot is a movement tinker, one who I cannot stress this enough, HAS ACCESS TO TELEPORTATION TINKERTECH.

TELEPORTATION TINKERTECH.

One more time for the people in the back,

TELEPORTATION.

TINKERTECH.

I could cry, really I could.

So first off, you need to understand just how good his power is. He literally made fucking POWER ARMOR that could go 100 mph with fucking dogshit scraps. Fucking power armor. The only other tinkers with power armor was trainwreck (a guy who's specialty is literally working with scraps) and Armsmaster, who's funded by the protectorate. And this guy just fuckin made some shit in his basement with an oven and a blowtorch or something.

He's got an extra dash of that shardstuff for sure. Also for some reason he just has extra insight into tinkertech? Just added on, for shits and giggles. His shard was forking over the shardbucks to give it's host a head start, too fucking bad it landed on literally the worst person in existence to have a tinker power. even fucking leet would be better than this idiot.

Not only that, he was able to copy trickster's power. Yk, trickster, just the guy with one of the most versatile and powerful powers in a street level setting and even beyond some of that, no biggie. fucking trickster.

This guy could scan movers and copy their powers.

In a world where this guy had a single braincell, he would've joined the protectorate, scanned strider's power and worked with dragon to set up fucking portals all around the united states or something.

Instead, we get this fucking brainlet.

I'm assuming he could also make some sort of neurological implant to speed up his thoughts to keep up with his tech, but thats just another failure of this troglodyte.

I still, I'm still laughing at how utterly fucking stupid this shit is, but one of his gadgets that he made.

So get this, he made a jetpack right, or a flight pack whatever. Guess what this dipshit decides to add in his shit. A fucking bomb. Yeah, he added a bomb in something he was carrying on his back. The reason? As far as im concerned, as a fucking escape route.

Yeah, you heard that right.

The MOVEMENT tinker, put a fucking bomb in their movement gear, to ESCAPE.

???

Unless he had some sort of secret 540000 iq plan to do something else with that bomb, but considering this guy's track record I doubt it. Even then that's fucking stupid. Why are you blowing up your gear? 'Oh hey! I got a great idea! Instead of doing literally anything else, how about I put an EXPLOSIVE right next to me in volatile tinkertech! What a great idea!'

Anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself.

So, this guy triggered about a year before canon start. What was he doing in all of that time?

Literally fucking nothing.

All he did was just ride around at 3 am being a little shithead. A year btw, he did that for a year.

Then he eventually got caught by assault (lol) and was forced to talk to Kid Win. In an incredible play, since Chariot was working for coil and decided to become a rat, got DISCOVERED BEFORE HE EVEN SIGNED THE PAPERS. LOL?

This fucking dipshit was like 'Yeah, they'll never see it coming >:)' meanwhile the PRT had a meeting deciding to fucking just feed this guy faulty information. Can you fucking do anything 😭.

He just was taking L after L.

He's like Leet but he doesn't even have the excuse that his shard hates him.

He's literally Legend's long lost cousin.

no goals, no plans

what are you doing man? 😭

Worst fucking spy on the planet.

Literal shithead kid waking people up at 3 am going on joyrides, which would be based if he wasn't so stupid. Such a cool power too, definition of wasted potential. I just agh.

WHY DO YOU GET. LIKE. UNDERSTANDING OF OTHER TINKERS SHIT. JUST TACKED ON. WHY ARE YOU BUILT FOR COLLABS AND YOU DO NOTHING.

Only fucking this guy could take a teleportation tinker spec and be absolute fodder.

Im still laughing at the bomb shit. Why is your first thought as a movement tinker to put a fucking bomb inside of your tech. Like what? Instead of literally making anything else. Are you fucking stupid? Yes you are, you are stupid. Even if it wasn't an escape plan (still can't believe it WORKED as an escape plan.) Like, what are you gonna do, throw your shit at the guy your fighting then stumble away because you blew up all of your shit. This fucking guy.

Anyway, stay tuned for more hating.

Shadow's development Headcanons

Started off looking like more of some .. creature than a hedgehog

Like way too many or not enough limbs, especially because of the Black Doom DNA

I'm imagining him having one eye and being more of a scaly texture but still oddly goopy lol as well as not having hands or fingers and instead having some tentacle type things

Between getting experimented on and his normal growth he eventually grew to look like a normal mobian hedgehog with some key differences

The differences being, the whites of his eyes having a light green tint, too many teeth, every joint is double jointed, quills that are unable to fold down/look relaxed, sharp claws, etc, etc

I also think it'd be fun if one of his feet had one or two extra toes :3

I think at some point during his development he looked like Stitches alien form (from Lilo and stitch)

Whether he can still regrow the limbs now, Gerald manually rewrote his DNA, or one day he just lost the ability to use them is up to you bc idk

Maria watched Shadow grow up essentially from a weird amoeba looking splotch to a semi grown Hedgehog

I headcanon that Shadow's body didn't look like it does now when he originally went into stasis, and he grew while in containment

Hedgehogs aren't supposed to lose quills unless they're under high stress. I think Shadow sheds a lot by nature, and he frequently has to brush his quills to make room for the new ones growing

Teaching Shadow to talk was a rough process. Mostly because he didn't always.. have a mouth.. or hands... so Maria and Gerald had to be on top of figuring out new ways to communicate, just in case

Perfecting his design was painful, Shadow could gain or lose random parts of his body, organs could be grown wrong and bones had to be corrected and moved over and over again, just for the sake of a "perfect" life form

They'd put Shadow back in the Green Tube when they knew a long process was going to be painful, but sometimes he would need to be awake so they could watch his development, but I would hope at least Maria would fight for these processes to be as few and far between as possible

The first words Shadow said were "Maria", "sister", and "pick up"

It took years before Gerald was finally happy with Shadow's look, and even after that he was still being experimented on to track the progression of his steadily growing powers

Things like his enhanced memory, speed, agility, strength, etc

I think Shadow was given his inhibitor rings for ease of retrieval and containment, and it was an easy way to keep track of his powers while not letting him over use them

This is not to say there was nothing redeemable about his childhood. He technically still has good memories to look back on, after all he still had Maria

Anyways uhm yeah, I'm going to post this without proofreading it hopefully that doesn't backfire :D

Feel free to add your headcanons or whatever !!!!

I'm a Tails centric blog, but please hop into my ask box or DMs, I love meeting new people :33

[d8tl55c]

y ' a l l . it took me multiple weeks to start working on a pony town skin <- real <- i made SIXTEEN other ones before the one i wanted

so now you're gonna look at them :D

behold! i bring you: disheveled TCO & rehabilitated TCO

it was a long journey to get here and every freaking detail has some personal lore about it- so if you want to see some progress shots ive chronicled them below X3

ok so 💕✨\o_🎉

the original plan was to: 0. go for a cho post-Showdown and pre-Box 1. use my existing spacescug colors (so i wouldn't get overwhelmed and stop) to create interesting gradients with the black, 2. dress them in.......... WHATEVER seemed cool at the time, and 3. have fun.

SO! i did. ~

(fun facts: the spacescug is one of the 16 skins i crafted while anxiety-ing over ava/m (sometimes ill use it to SNEAK AROUND and admire people (pls say hi lol <3 )))

features. i went with the fluffiest hair i could find, a starry mask for privacy, a comfy sweater, and my two pride and joys: firetail and transparency-skirt.

see look look it's supposed to be showing the legs on the other side of the fabric :D :D :D !!! and, if you look close, it's discreetly distracting from the big shackle i added to the left hind leg. (if you look REALLY close, you'll see i drew some grass in the "hole" of the head. this is why im so excited about this i went ALL IN ;v;;;;) (transparency-skirt ruled as a concept, but in the end it didn't make it any further through my TCOs)

okay so then i spot this character.

i instantly fell in love with the way they did their head (never before seen by me), and was inspired to refine my own work a little,,, so i would fit in more with them when we hung out.

i tore the sleeves off of the cozy sweater, added a Rocket-Brand™-lookin collar, and retired transparency-skirt.

i enjoyed this version so much i didn't change it until fall rolled around....

in which, while re-doing my whole catalog of fav skins to match the new ground color, i changed like 7 entire pixels of the design which i am not going to waste your scroll bar with. <3

now it's getting real.

one day, i needed a break from a thing and decided to dev some more accessories. i had an idea to strap down the wings with one of the feather outline colors and a Waist item, and that quickly spiraled into changing several many, many, more things.

speed round! extra features include:

firetail upgrade! ++shiny

+detail on right hind leg: scars? a tracking device maybe?

aforementioned wing restraint

right cozy sleeve ripped further to install the

Rocket™ wristband: that can't be good

hair accents match accessories and each other better

Back Mane changed for ++disheveled points

Ear accessory added for ++disheveled points

Ear type changed for more fluff back there

and as you can see i bit the bullet and tried to make an homage to my new friend's head style, and i found that these closed eyes (left) look like frowny cho-eyes. :3

AND THAT WAS AWESOME. i felt great. stylish, even. i sat there with an extra 10% deduction to needless social anxiety in my new threads.

and i thought, huh. i've made this little guy suffer, mentally and physically, for fifteen outfits now. what changes if they escape The Situation? and heal?

i pondered this for a while, but i didn't get the boost to act on it until i met this MVP.

they taught everyone on that day cool and funny pony-making tricks! and they're sweet.

from them i was inspired yet again ☝

and this time, i mixed in EVERYTHING. slowly untying the ropes, healing the scars, repairing the hair. the glasses trick that TDL taught me to get the more expressive eyes. the colors and patterning i learned from making a troodon skin (another of the 16) to re-dye the hair and add a new layer of striped pattern to the clothes. yellow with the red so it nods to TDL AND represents more fire. thE SLEEVES ripped ALL THE WAY OFF!!! YEAAAH SHUCK THAT ANGST I MADE THE MARKS BASED ON HOW YOUR CURSOR INVERTS IN WORD

WHAT IF INSTEAD OF RETURNING TO GREYS THEY START DRESSING IN LITTLE EXPLOSIONS OF COLOR •-|,=-||-•|-',=•-|"/, |'['-•-|_|<,['- [,-|'"/,/_',= '////////

and

that's it.

except for ofcourse the :V s :3333333

SO THAT'S THE STORY OF THIS

WOW, haha, thank you for coming on this journey with me. if you know more about pony town than me i am so taking suggestions- i am still learning and having a great time doing it!

TOODLES 💕

[freakoutgirl]

i would LOVE to hear your opinions on subject headings for spanish items! also are there any discussions in the US about cataloguing native american materials? especially post-trump? i’m australian and cataloguing first nations materials is a very big discussion in library services over here.

(Since you're a cataloger you'll obviously know some of this but I'm going to ramble a bit in case any non-catalogers want some background)

Okayyy so according to US cataloging standards it's not required to have subject headings in anything other than English which is super weird to me (how would a Spanish speaker be able to search books on certain subjects???). So I've been cataloging new books, and going through our catalog to add subject headings for older titles. Which is possible but kind of difficult since we are a small library without the Bilingual Index so I have to scrounge through different authorities (oh yeah typically subject headings have to be Authorized to keep everything consistent, though you can have local ones). The bilingual index isnt even updated anymore so probably not even worth buying. So to find the Spanish version of the English subject heading on a record, I've used a couple that I don't remember the name of like embne (which I liked but isn't up anymore :() or abne which is actually Castile Spanish so ehhh. I've ended up using the Queen's Public Library which is pretty useful but it's a catalog, not set up like an authorities database (look up authorities.loc.gov if you want to see what I mean) so it's a bit time consuming. But I feel like if even one person is able to find a book because of it then it's worth it. Basically this is all to say I think library organizations like the Library of Congress or ALA need to start prioritizing the needs of Spanish speakers, which is a growing population no matter what Trump wants. Accessibility!!!

An OHHHHHHH you brought up another big issue with the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). My library doesn't really much (if anything) in other languages besides Spanish and English (and my own little collection of French books for the French Club, but they aren't in our system) so I don't know much about cataloging Native materials. Ideally you would want info in the record to include the language used (summary especially). The subject headings would be harder since I doubt a lot of people are translating that language unfortunately. Buuuut we have a Texana collection (books about Texas culture and history), and one big thing that is hair pulling worthy is that (and I'm typing this one out for clarity) the LCSH still uses "Indian" instead of like... Anything else lol. They have Native Americans in general so I switched all of that over in older records, but when it comes to specifics it's like "Cherokee Indians" or "Comanche Indians" etc. and there's no alternative that's authorized like saying "Nation" or whatever official name is instead. It takes a long time for subject terms to be added or changed because they have to be approved (which is why other authorities exist, so they can streamline terms, like the homosaurus lol) but it's been a long time that we have known that word sucks so I don't know what the hold up is. Like they could have done it during the four years Biden was in office lol. Unfortunately, the USA doesn't really prioritize Native issues like I've largely seen from Australia (not to say things are perfect in Australia lol), so it's not a huge discussion though there ARE catalogers who do talk about it!! And I'm sure there's some at the Library of Congress giving voice to the issues, but red tape y'know. People have worked to change "transsexuals" and "mentally handicapped" so it's not a lost cause at least. I could put an unauthorized/local subject heading but I don't really do those since we don't have a system RN to keep track of local headings unless I wanted to make a spreadsheet no one would look at lol. Anyway, thanks for asking!

[mandiips]

Do you have a fusion evolution for Blizzarmon and Chackmon? (like Aldamon, etc) I know the canon one is Daipenmon but….eh

mmmmm hear Manny out

I have an AU I'm slowly cooking and I really just wanna do away with the fusion evolutions.

The whole Digimon cANT STOP FUCKING EVOLVING AND GETTING WEIRDER is BEAUTIFUL AND STUPID AND I LOVE..- but Frontier is like. It's?? it doesn't work well with Frontier.

Y'know, like how in other seasons, the Digimon were secondary/ complimentary characters to the kids. They could change forms all the time and still feel consistent because they're not the main, emotional crux of the show. Doesn't really work for me when the frontier kids are the Digimon!! It's inherently a different format. Power rangers. Magical girls. It's THAAAT format.

One of the reasons I really disliked the royal knights arc is because Emperor-something-mon and Beuoya-???-wolf??-mon just.. are not Takuya or Kouji. It's not even the "Kouji-Takuya show" like a lotta people argue (for me at least) it's the "who are you who are these people" arc because nobody acts or feels consistent. The design philosophy of both hyper-spirit-whatever just feels wrong too. If the context is that those guys are Kouji and Takuya. It feels wrong idk lol!!!!!

Anyway I know that's the hyper spirits and not the fusion ones, but it still extends to the fusions for me. (On my knees avoiding my Discord Fam's wrath) Those guys do feel like Takuya and Kouji!! Because they're just Agnimon and Lobomon but taller and more clunky armour. I just don't like them SHSGHSHSSBJDBD.

Daipenmon is so funny to me also LMFAOOhdgsyshshs. fucking?? Skyscraper penguin?? Like.. yah.. great job design team... HSHDHSHS THAT WAS A GENUINE GOOD JOB I LOVE DIGIMON HAGSBSBSV

sorry sorry damn. Rambling. Anyway. What I wanted to do instead was make slide evolution more of a thing. I love the human and beast spirit designs and I really wish they were played with more. My power scaling justification is that we don't see a lot of champion or ultimate Digimon in frontier anyway. Maybe digivolving is rare!! ...I think that was a plotline actually, it just got underdeveloped. Go figure.

With restricting everyone to Beast and Human evolutions, that gives us six kids with two Digimon forms each. But! Kouichi! That alone is 20 distinct designs to keep track of for the MC. That's a fuck ton already!!

Add the Lairmon (what I call the 'corrupt warriors' cause they deserve a kick-ass name) and that's 28!!!!!!! Distinct!!!!! Designs!!!!!!!!!!! For the warrior ten, whAT the FUCK.

So you catch my drift. I imagine Frontier could have more of a skill-based system instead of digivolve digivolve digivolve (WHICH IM NOT DISSING ITS JUST EASIER TO EXPLAIN THAT WAY) Ahem.

The AU is Growing Wings, and I'm cooking up a Master post to organize everything on Tumblr maybe. I say a lot of things and then don't do them.

[rosepetalkitty]

Hi Rose! A friend introduced me to you. I love your voice. Do you have any tips on voice training or voice acting in general?

oh hi omg ^-^ that's so cool!

on voice training: uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (i never did any, all i can really give ya is to try talking from the roof of your mouth instead of from your throat if that makes sense? idk. i found my voice like a week before i started recording audios and it was kinda just "i wonder if i could try to... ah. neat.")

on voice acting in general:

you don't need a crazy expensive mic or software. here's my recording setup:

blue yeti (imo the best USB mic available, plus it does a great job with stereo, and it isn't ridiculously expensive)

reaper (it will harass you about paying for it, you should but if you can't afford it you can just click through the prompt, and also it's wayyyy cheaper than smth like fl studio) — you can use tenacity if you want to but it's not very good by comparison because you can't do things like add reverb to a track and then remove it later. it's the ms paint of the audio world.

i have a lot of plugins that i use but really all you need are an eq (there are free ones in basically any daw, reaper included), a compressor (same), and some kind of noise suppression (you can get away with just using a noise gate most of the time and there's usually one built in, but there are also a lot of free denoisers that work well). i also like to use reverb plugins to add some space in my audios, there's a free plugin called protoverb by u-he and it's a little jank but i really like it because you can get it to sound like a real room (bathroom, bedroom, whatever is appropriate to your audio) instead of just a generic "space"

a lot of other vas i know record everything in one take and you totally can but honestly i prefer to record until i like misspeak, stop the recording, cut off the last few seconds and then start again from where i left off. there's a setting in reaper that i use to make it play like 5ish seconds of audio before the recording starts, and i try to talk along with it so that it doesn't sound like there's a cut.

also, i like to record speaking really really quietly really close to the mic, that way a) my voice doesn't get tired as fast, b) if i start whispering it doesn't actually end up being much quieter than the "normal" speaking so you can still hear it and c) there isn't as much noise because i can turn the gain way down on the mic

also if you're using a proper denoiser, record like 10s of audio on another track before you start actually recording, and then as long as you don't move the mic or your fan or whatever you can use that to train the denoiser and it'll sound a lot better than the "real time" setting where it trains itself on the fly

lastly, i highly recommend monitoring (hearing yourself through your headphones as you record) if you can, because it makes it way easier to notice when you accidentally bump the mic, speak too loud, etc., and that way you can catch it and stop the take to cut it out.

i could keep rambling for a long time but this is getting rly long lol if you have questions please dm me i love chatting ^-^

[exocynraku]

hi! no idea if this has been answered, but have you considered how groups of seals think about queerness as a whole? are there trans seals? how do they perceive gayness or a complete disinterest in sexual relations (and, tying into this-seals who have no desire to have a partner, whether or not it's platonic?) no pressure to respond d: love ur little guys the gene sheet is so cool

Short answer: our human concepts of gayness and transgendism don’t properly/fully apply to caeseal societies because gender is not a concept that exists. It’s just never been invented. sex-based genders (boy and girl), masculinity/felinity and tradtional gender roles don't exist. The only thing that does exist is different ways seals will PERSONNALY refer to themselves (pronoun wise i talk about mostly). I say personally because the pronouns seals use are ALWAYS DIFFERENT! specifically catered to the singular seal! (with the except of it/its which you'll have to read my long answer for if you want to understand that) Our human concepts of asexualism/aromanticism/things akin to that DO exist but play a more prominent role in pods. Hunts are kind of an odd ball, lol. Long answer: caeseals and their relationships with sexuality and gender are a lot more different than ours, mostly because:

 caeseals have little to no physical difference between sexes excluding reproducing organs. i'm still debating if i want to add any sort of sex-linked gene(s). this is very unlike most real species of seals but i decided on it mostly because i . Like it more than normal sexual dimorphism? that's sort of it. 

with no obvious sexual differences there also isn’t really a concept of ‘masculinity’ or ‘femininity’, and traditional gender roles haven’t been invented. 

and this all does play a part in caeseal society. how sexuality and “gender” both work differ between pod and hunt groups ! 

hunts: with mates being assigned, what we know as traditional romance is pretty much nonexistent. hunt seal romance is more akin to friendly rivalries.

sexual and romantic attraction really isn’t something that cross hunt seals minds. it does occur, but very few will act on them until later in their life (after they’ve mated, when they can do whatever they want). Excluding a distaste towards sex, which they’ll usually act on sometime after getting paired up by killing their partner.

the sex of hunt seals is known by the leader of the hunt. since they are the ones who choose pairings, they need to keep track of everybody to make sure pairings would be able to reproduce. 

all hunt seals start their lives being called ‘it’ (it/its). this also works as a catch-all term if you need to refer to a seal you don’t know the gender of.

most hunt seals will eventually stray away from 'it' as they grow. there are many reasons one may, and i couldn't list them all. but, as they stray away, the terms they choose are usually entirely unrelated to their sex. instead, it's usually related to their fighting style! 

all seals, no matter the group, attack by biting. but attacking is not all you need to know, especially in hunts. hunts teach all sorts of specialized moves, ranging from defense techniques, knowing your limits & how to use your differences to your advantage, surprise attacks, how to use your surroundings, etc etc. and a lot of seals have somethint they specialize in.

hunt seals use this when choosing how to refer to themselves. have you ever heard of kiki and bouba? how kiki sounds sharp and pointy and bouba sounds soft and round? hunt seals apply the vibes and feelings of different noises (letters) to the vibes and feelings of the thing they specialize in. 

a seal who specializes in surprise attacks would go for something short and sudden sounding (ex: t/k/v/j), maybe a noise that'd instil a feeling of dread. (ex: ss/ee) 

a seal who specializes in a battering-ram style charges to throw opponents around would want something that starts slower (oo, uu, aa, hh, gg) and ends solid, but not sharp. (d/g/b/m) 

etc etc, i could make a million examples. hunt seals who specialize in multiple styles could use multiple pronouns or mix two together. if a hunt seal's style changes over time, so could how they refer to themselves. 

what feeling a certain letter evokes does vary SLIGHTLY hunt to hunt, but that doesn't matter, and a hunt seal wouldn't introduce themselves to a seal from a different hunt. they'd just fight each other. 

i’ll probably make a guide for what letters hunt seals associate different things to. but that’ll be later

pods: pod culture around relationships is a LOT more complex than hunts and is a bit hard to define. Gender is . still a bit complex but it’s definitely easier to understand than their relationships

similar to hunts, pod seals begin their lives being referred to as it (it/its). but the way pod seals figure out what terms they’ll be referred to as isn’t actually determined by them. as seals grow up, the people around them and the people they’re close to, usually immediate family, will start referring to them in different ways. whatever their family thinks fits them. as time goes on, eventually certain terms will fall off and others will stick. and eventually, usually when they’re about halfway thru their juvenality, one will REALLY stick. that’ll be how this seal refers to themselves.

similar to hunts, these terms are usually made up, but not related to sounds. they’re related to things that the seals family associates with them. usually physical objects/things or ‘vibes’. this is a little hard to explain, but eventually i’ll make an easier guide/make examples.

If a seal for whatever reason doesn’t like the term that’s been decided for them, they can ask for more suggestions/pick a different one their family recommended/make one up themselves/etc. It’s rare for this to happen but it’ll show up every so often. 

Pods relationships are open and ‘cheating’ is not a concept that exists in their society. Seals who never end up in relationships with other seals do exist but they’re hard to find. Most seals are able to keep track of who they’re in a relationship with but those who like having lots of partners will occasionally keep lists. 

Most seals end up in relationships with those who they grew up with but meeting someone totally new does happen. And when i mean meeting someone new, i mean both from a different pod and inside your OWN pod. This might seem crazy but, i think i’ve mentioned it, pods can get VERY BIG!!!! There is most DEFINITELY a chance there’ll be some seals you don’t meet for a long time or are only acquaintances with. 

Pod relationships are pretty complex but CAN be understood if you put a bit of brain into it. The only relationship that’s not hard to figure out are familial relationships as those just work as. That’s my family. That’s not my family. Otherwise, pod seal relationships usually consist of offshoots of platonic, romantic or sexual. (ps: when i say platonic i don’t mean stuff like friends or acquaintances those are their own thing that word just how they do normally in real life) to give a few examples, someone could have a solely romantic relationship with another seal, but be open to romantic or sexual relationships. Someone could like romantic relationships but only with people they don’t know very well. I could quite literally go on forever. 

But, when referring to another seal, pod seals will generally say ‘i don’t know that seal/we’re acquaintances/we’re friends’ or ‘we have a relationship/we are partners’ and then expand further or not depending on comfort. I’m not sure if i explained that well (like ive done with most of the stuff in this post putting my thoughts into words is brain melting) but i’ll have to cap it here before i die in some sort of way. But i’ll get around to making nice guides eventually, probably when school stops swamping me (who knows when that’ll be though)

s2, ep10 I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD KILLS continued! :3 sorry for the abrupt cut off yesterday/the day before! i got sad and decided to just be lazy lol also decided that i'd change the formatting a bit? i realize that there's this weird space between the images and text that just doesn't look all that ""aesthetically pleasing"" to the eyes eeek xc it looks evened-out BEFORE i hit post, which is strange but i won't question it. ANYWAYS! BACK TO THE EPISODE!

SO WE RE-OPEN WITH BROCK IN THE CAR WITH HELPER!!! it's the iconic ""jock rock"" argument-clip thing that EVERYONE has already gone over and spoken about, i personally don't care for it. everyone's already yapped their ears off about it and it'd just be somewhat stupid for me to point out and examine at this point. i've always found it cute that he decided to take helper with him in this episode. Brock's an "i ride solo" guy usually, but it's obvious he's warmed up to the family enough to accept SOME help (and also because Helper probably insisted.. either that or he just wanted company - like a cat that hates being alone lollll). also we don't get an incredible amount of brock content this episode siiigh. but we get him every other episode, so i could never complain (I GUESS).

i wasn't going to add the picture of him diving into the dumpster, because i didn't think it was silly enough but apparently you really get to see his barbie doll legs here so i said 'fuck it whatever' and added it in anyway lel

SO! Brock has a moment where he thinks the boys were really hurt/killed and ditched in a dumpster (because that's where the tracking - thingy lead him to). he's VERY relieved to see that he was, in fact, wrong and that it was just their wrist devices instead. he loves those boys to death ee >~<

he's too cute </3 my big blonde handsome pookie </33

AND THEN WE DISCOVER THAT MYRA'S BACK! and we get a silly brock face as a close up ^~^

he kind of looks like a frog here..

also the wrist devices were attached to a bomb! because myra is fucking insane!

he also survived the explosion??? which is weird all on it's own. again, rusty has a thing for blondes that are MENTAL. how she knew when to send the message(s)/detonate the bomb is beyond me. she's one freaky bitch, what can she say? i love her very much. BUT WHATEVERS! CUT TO THE BOYS! who are tied up inside of some dingy motel that myra brought them to.

my little chimpy boy.. his ears are always so fucking massive! four of them could easily make up the size of his entire head. he gets them from rusty, i suppose.

i really like this scene. easily second fav scene of ALL TIME. i imagine fri really liked this scene too. Hank is such a twat here.. just woke up and decided for ZERO reason to wake up Deans and annoy him. no initial panic, or questions, or stress. just a-- "eugh well isn't this new and different. (-︵-)" and that's IT. he's a terrible little boy. sometimes i feel like the fandom mistakes him for a golden retriever sweetie pants. HE IS a golden retriever. just an annoying one egehjehgehgghe that his unfortunate brother has to deal with blegggh

"i smell peepee" "well what're you looking at ME for??" (said immediately with a defensive tone and up-pitch in his voice bc he knows he's being accused of something)

"deeean.. did you get peepee scared again?"

(said in a way that's meant to provoke annoyance in dean because HE'S a little shit and loves to torment his brother)

"NO shut UP. (-`_´-)"

BEST GIRL MYRA ARRIVES AND IMMEDIATELY GETS ALL HANDS-ON WITH HANK!!! honestly the scenes with myra in this episode are some of my favorites in the whole show. i know they're played for laughs and gags but there's something about how totally fucked she is that i find compelling. i love her a lot. she's weird.

also kind of like how it's a thing for people to grab hank's face/cheeks and squish like nothing.

makes me really icked-out to see them (the boys, but also myra kind of) in this situation. feels eghghhghgghhh and weird. like a scenario that i PERSONALLY would love to be in, but under no circumstance would i want the boys involved in.

like stay away from my kids, yo >~< i love this freak show of a fucking woman. she's everything to me and her suits cool. she's also really sally-esque to me (i've mentioned this before but i feel the need to say it again. no one has ever spoken about it before i think). GONNA FINISH BATH THEN POST MORE!!! we have some henchmen stuff i like coming up so yaay! >3<

a redraw meme! I'm a little mad at myself for not doing this for a few years (I've done a few other redraws in the meantime, but...it wouldve been cool to have a bunch of years in a row! TwT)

2007 was the earliest made on gimp, a touchpad and NO pressure (obvious with the THICK CHUNKY LINES. im 90% sure I did lineart, colored over them, then lined over them again all on 1 layer...) plus the pattern fills gimp had (the stripes and rainbows, plus the repeating space background that needed a desperate scale-up...)

2015 might be the most obviously tmm inspired style wise ( and I think...this character WAS a tmm oc, actually, so this tracks. her name was star hoshiko (yes. star star.) and she was infused with star power instead of an animal. whatever that means. in my defense I was Ten 👍) and was when I was still using sai!!

2016&17 were me trying to sort of push into semi-realism, the smaller eyes, the more realistic skirt in the '16 version and more realistic hair in the '17 version, and also the first ones done in clip studio which is still my mvp program.

2018 was the furthest from the original, me REALLY pushing orangey yellows for some reason (the darker oranges let the yellow glowy parts stand out more was probably my logic at the time?) it's also funny to see that I went back to a more cartoony/anime style between 2017! the eyes got bigger again, the hair more stylized (esp with the shading/highlighting!) yet the clothes got more detailed....

2024- this time around I wanted to try and capture elements of the original design, since it seemed I was drifting further and further away from it... those very bright lemony yellows that scare me to work with sometimes, the original stripes, that BAD dark yellow for the base of the dress... I know a lot of people will prefer the semi-realism of the earlier years but I feel like the very anime style is more FUN. and I feel a lot more confident in my posing, expressions, and I just. focus more on having fun than making her pretty. that being said I did try to add little details from the previous years designs :3 doing redraws is always so nice to reflect on style and improvement!! I totally recommend doing one if you want to, a blank version is here!

also for funsies, heres how gross the flats look. man i HATE that weird base dress shade T_T u can tell I did shift it to be SLIGHTLY warmer, just a bit....the cool-toned shading pushes it back to the lemony again tho, lol
