rambling dont mind me

[mangionebabymama]

hI hope ur having a good day!! i think these would be the traits luigi would find magnetic

-> intelligence

-> grit

-> resourcefulness

-> thoughtfulness

-> curiosity

-> generally interesting/strike him as a challenge ??? loves the chase..dare i say...

he tries so hard to yk form this utopia of himself that im starting to think the person he would prob end up with would inspire him A LOTT my man knows his worth fr

Hi lovely, I hope your day/night is going just as well!

And by magnetic, these would be a couple of qualities that would draw him into you right away, like a dart searching for its fitting bullseye.

Intelligent: it shouldn’t be a given, but it kind of is. But in spite of this, he’s not enthralled into what you’re educated about—it doesn’t matter to him one bit if you, unlike him, didn’t earn a Master’s degree, attended an Ivy League university, recognized as the top of your class—he’s captivated by what drives you to want to learn and understand about new things, and how you have the capability to grasp with new and difficult situations. Human intelligence is differentiated into many different ways, and he’s one to know this, and one eager to come across another who is intelligent in a completely way, on the contrary, from him.

Grit: To have the spirit and spunk to want to achieve anything and everything that you have your eyes set on, by all means necessary, and to not let something—or someone—put you down? He’d admire that, and he’d be more than willing to support you in all that you do and want to do for yourself.

Resourceful: This kind of relates back to intelligence, as well as his personal desire of self-efficiency.

Thoughtfulness: I mean, come one. You could be any person in the world, but one without a heart? What’s there to even consider that if you consider the needs for other people, how can you even consider yourself and what you need?

Curiosity: kind of again with the intelligence. Luigi may have been top of his graduating class and attended the University of Pennsylvania, earning two degrees in Computer Science, but he, without a doubt, has knowledge of recognizing that even after college, you never stop learning about the unknown and undiscovered.

Generally interesting/strike him as a challenge: it’s hard for him to not be investigative and curious in wanting to deconstruct your personality, your essence, your story as a person. He seems to have stronger connections with people who are more complex, round individuals, who have a variety of thoughts, feelings, and experiences that make them the most unique that they come out to be.

And he does know his worth, as he knows who his authentic self, in and out, and knows what he wants and does not want. So when he finds that person, right for him, he’d know it without hesitation.

No pressure or anything but I would love to read your talk about the nuance and complexity of dickkori because I do want to know a bit more but it’s hard to find explanations for newcomers. No pressure.

ok so full disclaimer while i do have lots of thoughts on them im also not fully sure on how accurate they r. i will answer this with my personal rambly thoughts but also so that someone more educated than me can also come along and add something better lols

for me i think dickkori is really compelling cuz its like a union of people who seem so so different. koriand'r the princess of tamaran, a person that believes in expressing yourself and freedom and feeling things so so deeply and dick grayson, raised by the batman, a performer since birth, wearing ever shifting faces and burying and concealing. then there's also the conflict the is introduced with them pretty early on in ntt--kori has ANGER. she is so angry. she did not wish to show compassion to her enemies (although no amount of torture could have beaten her love out of her) and dick who has misgivings about kori's power and emotions. and im gonna ignore dicks precrisis girlfriend before Kori and say that narratively i think them being each other's first serious, truly committed partners is so so mmmm. coming together despite the differences and believing in love. kori letting dick open up and dick helping kori not give into that rage in her. they're passionate and loving and taught each other so much yk?

i think there's lots of stuff there which im not well acquainted with but i also think there's the stuff after their breakup as well which i feel is ignored. i think honestly dickkori should be like life-altering for both of them, however metatextually i also feel there is not enough talk about how dependent some people/writers make kori on dick. in the text i find dick's treatment of kori (at least in earlier comics. im remembering some instances sometime in postcrisis) as sort of like a forever backup option interesting also when u consider his chasing of the past. the stuff with mirage etc also could be well explored by a competent writer. going back to the point of her being dependent on dick, i feel like many fans of the ship don't actively read up on kori outside of her being with dick and i think dc writers also keep using the popularity of the ship from tt 03 the show and using it for sales which makes affects kori much more than it does dick if im being honest. free her (and let her get with donna)

thats all i can think of to say rn but ty for the ask and im hoping to hear from more ppl on this!!!!

[kafkasmjjw]

hi !! Im new to the sfh fandom and I’ve read one or two of your works and you characterise mjjw so well !!! (and ur writing style is so amazing like damn??) but I think half because of my subtitles being crap half because of how complex these characters are I’m kinda struggling to characterise them well in a way that feels canon compliant while attempting to write fics if u gm? Do you have any tips for writing moonjo, jongwoo, or mjjw? Like how they think or speak or just general things like habits etc. /nfnf but itd be really appreciated <3

hello<3 so sorry for the late response im barely on here. first of, thank you sm and welcome to the fandom<3

i actually watched the show quite a few times before i started writing for them (understatement.. ive seen the show an embarrassing amount of times lol). i think the biggest difference between moonjo and jongwoo is that moonjo is relatively quiet and has calm mannerisms (slow smiles, picking his tongue, gazing lovingly, listening without talking) while jongwoo is a much more agitated guy (pursed lips, glancing away, fidgets, shifts his weight, huffs, parts his lips like he wants to sigh but catches himself last second) and that has a lot to do with moonjo being more integrated into his surroundings and more respected by the people he mingles with while jongwoo is mostly looked down at and patronised which makes him more on edge and spiteful. in terms of speaking, moonjo is just generally much more refined; could be due to his profession or his upbringing. while jongwoo is angry asf which makes him more vulgar and wayyy less restrained. moonjo's more put together, he thinks before he speaks while jongwoo is messier(?), so maybe he hesitates maybe his anger and frustration bleed into his sentences and make him stammer a bit. also like, it depends on whether youre writing canon fics or post canon because maybe (just an opinion) jongwoo would be more unfiltered post canon and says everything thats on his mind while canon jongwoo stays quiet and thinkw it/fantasises about saying it. thats all just my perception of them btw. i just like the idea of jongwoo being better at writing than speaking.

for them together, i think some back and forth is in character? moonjo's patience — because he never struck me as someone who forces jongwoo's hand or pressures him into anything — and jongwoo's inner turmoil that makes him fierce and mean. because canonically, jongwoo did tend to victimise himself a lot; it only makes sense that he'd blame his own feelings on everyone but himself. so yk if youre writing a lot of monologue and introspection you can have jongwoo's unreliability sneak in and have him blame his feelings and circumstances on other people while moonjo either supports him or smugly counters him. i think both options are viable hes a menace.

i dont know if any of this makes sense its 3am and idk how to put my thoughts into words😭😭 but good luck with writing and as long as you have fun and are content with what you write it doesnt really matter:))

into the dark news + poll

i will also be announcing this in the notes of the next chapter update, but i just want to inform you all that i will be going back through and mass-editing/rewriting all chapters from act one (chapters 1-40). all throughout act one, i really let outside forces influence how i wrote this fic. i pandered to the fandom because i was afraid to make anyone upset rather than writing what i wanted to write. i saw people saying that their precious sirius would never do The Prank, so i made peter do it when i really wanted sirius to. i added 540957345 povs (most of which will stay because i do believe they shape the story) rather than just keeping it to regulus + james because i saw people saying that not giving each and every character an in-depth plotline in an mlm fic was misogyny and neglect. i came up with an elaborate scheme to keep lily alive on halloween 1981 because killing lily is misogynistic. (lily will stay alive on halloween like i promised yall because i have grown so fond of her and i know that you should kill your darlings but i've never been very good at that). i planned a lot of elaborate schemes to keep a lot of characters alive and spread myself thin trying to shove intricate plots for the black sisters, marypanlily, peter, remus, dorlene, rosekiller, etc. into this fic because i didn't want to offend anyone or make anyone upset. i truly do not give a fuck about james and sirius’ friendship, but i threw it in this fic's face since so many people regard it as The Holy Grail and i didn't want to disappoint them in any way. i wrote the black brothers way more tame than i wanted to because if regulus doesn’t want a relationship with sirius it’s framed as him blaming sirius.

the truth of the matter is, this is a jegulus fic, centered around regulus black, james potter, their relationship, and no one else. not lily. not sirius. not anyone. that isn't to say that i can't have complex plots devoted to other characters, because i can, i will, and i love to do it. every plot i inserted into this fic will remain the same, just with a few tweaks and possibly with less pagetime.

the biggest change will be that i am going back and rewriting The Prank. sirius will orchestrate it like god intended. i completely understand if these changes make this fic less appealing to you, and i absolutely respect that. DLDR is one of my biggest mottos and something i heavily encourage, so if you don't like this fic, it is totally okay to "don't read"/DNF.

i also want to draw more attention to pandora’s past sexual assault. it’s been quietly in the background, which was - in part - intentional since she herself shoves it down and blocks it out, but there are so many instances where it could have been addressed and wasn’t. idk i think id just like to have it be more front and center because it is such an important aspect of the story that im afraid gets lost in the sea of other plots in this fic.

again, there won't be very many "big" changes, but the little things will add up a bit yk? the rewrites won't be published until every chapter has gone through it, which won't be for a few months, but i will let yall know when they are.

i also don’t know how i want to orchestrate the rewrite. that’s what the poll is for because i truly do value your opinions as readers. once the rewrite has been completed in my drafts, im unsure whether i should just keep them in the original work, delete the original altogether and start from scratch posting the rewrite as its own fic, or leave the original up and post the rewrite as a separate fic (but still titled into the dark — rewrite)

[riddlesmoon]

my hp fey worldbuilding ideas are soooo..... i dont want to say cringe because cringe culture is over, but. rules for thee but not for me!! /j

FAIR WARNING: i did not grow up in europe or anywhere with real fairy legends/folklore, 90% of my knowledge is from like. kids media cuz thats what got me into it. tho if i learn about something in real fairy folklore i try to fit it in, but mostly this is just incredibly self-indulgent whimsy and im not trying to be that accurate to real folklore!!!

the base idea is that magic originated with the fey (or they were the first to utilise it) so theyre more in tune with it. they dont need specific wand motions and incantations... like im sorry sometimes i think those are just a bit too narrow... im not sure how to explain it but something about like, being able to claim a wand movement and phrase and its automatically a certain spell? seems a bit rigid. idk.

so (in my worldbuilding! headcanon!!) thats not really essential for a spell to be done, what matters is intent. like how are kids doing spontaneous magic if they dont have the technique 🤨 sheer will, thats how. its just that wizards assume it matters so they kind of trick themselves into thinking its more effective if they do it a certain way. kind of like how, for some people, saying youre gonna do something gives you the strength to do it. and then it ends up a cycle where theyre like ah see it worked better when you use the right phrase/movement! and school was made. thats also how people make new spells btw. intent... and then whatever movement and incantation or ritual they want sort of "cements" it in their mind yk. tho i do think longer rituals for more complex things would be fun to have as well

but the fey should be able to do any magic just by willing it, though of course it still depends on your power, and incantations and movements can help, theyre just not essential. (the rest is under the readmore cuz it got way too long)

also, ive always liked the idea of leylines and the source of magic being a big ass tree (yggdrasil) as seen in some other media so im thinking that magical settlements could be based on the location of certain leylines. like theres a fountain of magic in each major area (it doesnt have to be a physical fountain) and people are just drawn to it without realising, and set up communities there. growing up near a fount of magic helps you develop your magic, maybe, makes it stronger or something, so going to a school or being homeschooled in a magical community have similar results... so living in a hovel on the edge of a muggle village, rather than a magical community makes it hard(er) to git gud at magic, huh, merope?

okay so theres 2 ways this can go! first off:

wizards are descended from the fey

this has appeared in many other fics before and is sometimes used to explain why purebloods are so gatekeepy about magic and think muggleborns are weaker or whatever. sure. so how do muggleborns get magic? changelings? that would explain muggleborns randomly having magic (though i know the "canon" (read: not in the books so go figure) explanation is that muggleborns are descended from squibs (ive also thought about this, does that make squibs reverse changelings?)) though it does raise the question of who is doing the swapping. obviously it cant be the purebloods (well, unless theres a coalition of wizards who like to pull shit like this for fun. or for malicious reasons. anything can happen ig) so the only way this works is if fairies do exist separately.

now canonically fairies are dimwitted vain little humanoids on account of having like. tiny ass brains. but i think thats bull and like many other fairy media they should be able to shrink and unshrink. animagi can turn into tiny animals without losing their intelligence after all. that and/or the small stupid fairies wizards use for potions are like... a subspecies of fairy without much intelligence. possible. pixies exist after all, there could be different forms of them like how theres different forms of mermaids/selkies...

so if the tiny fairies are real fairies, why do wizards think theyre stupid as shit? why would the fairies act dumb? they just dont like humans? humans just dont understand and assume theyre dumb? possibly. perhaps the wizards' fey ancestry is so far back that current fairies dont gaf about humans.

but if the tiny ones arent actual fairies... where are the real ones then? well, in their own realm of course. now lots of fairy medias do this but one interpretation i like is that it mirrors the real world/used to be the same realm but separated over time, but essentially the names and geography of places are sometimes the same or very similar and thats how you get like, entrances into the realm, places where the boundary is thinner. but its also cool to have it be a completely different world thats fun too

the second idea (for the entire fairy concept) is um. okay. its a bit edgy. i cant lie when i was younger i was sitting there thinking "haha wouldnt it be funny if, for all that purebloods claim to be superior, there was actually a higher form of being (fairies) and as such even a half-fairy would have 'purer' blood than them" but this relied on 1. purebloods not having fey ancestry 2. them not being aware about fairies (mostly). OR they could be aware but have beef with fairies cuz they disagree on it. or, i guess, they do actually respect the fairies as their superiors and the pureblood sentiment is a human-only prejudice. yeah i can see that.

anyway i went with the unaware line cuz who doesnt like an "in your face" reveal... and again, canonically they classify fairies as stupid little insects. so it makes sense if they arent aware of their full power. (unless they know these little fairies arent real fairies and are just gatekeeping that knowledge! or the knowledge of fairies being superior is really old and forgotten) then i had to think, okay, why wouldnt they be aware of fairies? fairies would have to be intentionally hiding their existence from wizards. and why would they do that?

because wizards stole their magic.

yes i took the accusation against muggleborns in book 7 and flipped it on them KSDJGHSDKG. now i cant say ive thought this through entirely and im sure people could point out holes in it, but the gist of it is that a very very very very long time ago humans, greedy as we are, wanted magic for themselves, if only so they didnt have to bargain with the fey for magical favours. now i havent worked out how exactly this went or how it works, but im thinking it changes their blood/body in some way, they just forgot it was stolen from fairies (or who knows, maybe fairies intentionally removed those memories). i dont think "diluting" it would do anything to its efficiency though i think just having a drop of it is enough. its a gene, i guess.

okay so WHAT ABOUT MUGGLEBORNS? again, changelings! except this time, there really are fairies swapping babies for fun. again i had two ideas to choose from:

if muggleborns are changelings, that means they are fairies, straight up. and any kids theyd have would be half-fairy, and eventually a good portion of the population should have fey ancestry, which... could work, itd just be the muggleborns having fey ancestry instead of the purebloods?? LOL

muggleborns are descended from changelings. so the genes do get mixed a bit, but theyre more human than fairy still. of course this still means that a muggleborn has more fey in them than a pureblood, which, if we're adhering to the fairies-are-a-superior-being thing, means their "blood" is actually (magically??) purer than a purebloods. haha. hahaha. poetic irony or something

now we gotta iron out the kinks. do the changelings have magic? depends. do we want fairies to naturally have magic, or do they just happen to live in a magical realm and are very good at using it? if we go with the latter, then it makes sense a changeling in the muggle world wouldnt be able to use magic. uh, but then how does its muggleborn descendant get magic??? also this kind of fucks up my idea about them stealing magic okay, so what about the former idea instead:

fairies naturally have magic. so why doesnt the changeling have magic? well, if we also make the fairy realm a place of magic, perhaps a fairy's own natural magic is enhanced by living in a magical place. so in the nonmagic world with no magic, they eventually lose any magical abilities. the opposite of a magical human child, if you will, where perhaps they exhibited a lot of weird symptoms as a baby that eventually died down.

and their muggleborn descendant? well, the fairy gene has always been there, lying dormant. perhaps they came across something magical that triggered it, perhaps its just. random? (well, you could make a case for coming across something magical, which might explain cases like colin and dennis creevey, two muggleborn children in the same family) okay but then you say, then the whole family should eventually become magic once exposed to the muggleborns magic/any wizard who visits them, cuz they all have the gene. perhaps after a certain age the gene cant be activated. perhaps the gene only has a chance of activating, and is more likely in some. or the gene isnt passed down to every child. i am not a biologist <3

(deep breath) okay so why do fairies do this. historically, or, uh, traditionally, its because theyre tricksters and wanna mess with humans.

so what about the wizard version of a muggleborn—squibs? for that we have to go back to the whole "wizards stole magic from fairies" bit. see, i imagine the fairies didnt like that. i think theyd be pretty pissed that humans, who they view as lesser, had the audacity to try and take whats theirs. or maybe they think that if humans get their own magic they wont need fairies for magical favours anymore. boo. not fun (no one to mess with)

so yes, in this world theyve got beef with wizards. whether wizards are aware of that/are active participants is up in the air. if they are aware then there would probably be a lot more altercations throughout the story (or in the bg at least, harrys not privy to all this shit). if not, we can kind of stick with the original plot without too much changes, where fairies basically "dont exist". maybe fairies used to be more abundant in the human realm, but after that whole fiasco they were like nah fuck you guys and generally stuck to their own realm instead.

so back to the squibs. i think fairies wouldnt swap wizard babies as often as muggle ones, because 1. they wouldnt want a fairy to grow up with wizards, and 2. wizard houses are obviously better guarded against magical threats than muggle houses, so its not worth the trouble. but it can still happen! careless parents, or particularly vindictive fairies—maybe a family disrespected an individual fairy and they want revenge. though thats more likely to lead to a stolen child than a replaced child...

but anyway, if they did do a swap, again, i dont think theyd want a fairy growing up with wizards. so what do they do? well, they swap it with a muggle baby, of course! and there you have it, a squib! (what happened to the original baby you ask? idk maybe they killed it no sorry they couldve tossed it back to the human world, and that child would just grow up to be a "muggleborn"... or take the same role as a changeling (in that their magic dies, though this depends entirely on how wizard magic works when growing up without being in proximity of magic) okay scratch that actually that doesnt make any sense because we got canonical orphaned wizarding children tom and harry who grew up in nonmagical areas.

yk now that i think about it itd be much less convoluted if squibs and muggleborns were just the product of fairies switching magical and muggle human babies. but traditional changelings are humans swapped with fairies... but that doesnt really matter because the child just needs to be "other"...... did i make this way too complicated helppp arghhhhhhhh

(and a smaller note: "dont they realise the swapped children dont look like them?" i think normal fairy folklore would also face this question, which is usually solved by like. glamour spells. maybe it even becomes permanent after enough time has passed/their magic has died. "thats not how glamour works it wears off" fuck man i dunno!!)

"woah!" you say. "doesnt that mean half-bloods with muggleborn parents (like harry via lily evans) also have a little fey blood? and by that logic eventually a portion of the wizarding community will be a fraction fey" youre so right. because i just thought of this argument while writing this post. fuck!!! (30 mins later) also i reread my post and saw i already mentioned this a little bit earlier. so yes this does kind of debunk the whole "a half-fairy has purer blood than a pureblood (and is therefore superior)" thing cuz sooner or later the wizarding world will be filled with people with fey ancestry anyway. all i can say is.. um... the actual blood doesnt matter. as the original moral of the story was anyway, that your blood doesnt matter. not that the original series actually fixed their problems related to this moral lol but other people have discussed this already. if we really want to keep the fairy-human dichotomy separate, we can kind of make the argument that after a changeling settles in the muggle world, it genetically stops being a fairy?? but itd still have the "magic gene" that gets passed down to a muggleborn so scratch that also, this argument doesnt work at all lol sdkjfhsdg

erm. so yeah it doesnt matter if they have superior blood or not since thats an arbitrary requirement purebloods made up. yeap. the question is would fairies also subscribe to this thinking. if they do think theyre better than humans, as many portrayals of them do, then what do they think about half-fairies. it cant be too negative, since fairies do sometimes fuck around with humans and have babies with them... actually who am i kidding, its totally possible for them tod do it and decide they dont gaf about the baby. maybe fairies discriminate more on the basis of growing up in the human realm. if a human grew up in the fairy realm, theyd still be a bit mean about them being human, but theyd respect them more than a fairy who grew up in the human realm? idk i havent thought about this part too deeply...

"so whats all this for" my silly self-indulgent yume fanfic.........................

HOW R U DOING THO?

how has the hiatus been treating you?

i hope everything is going well pookie bear 🙏🙏🙏

DWW TAKE UR TIME RESPONDING HAHA (ik i have, i’m sorryyy, just been extremely busy + inactive haha)

i have a friend in america, but she’s a junior and so she explained the whole semester system the us has. and just from what she’s told me, gOOD LUCK 😭

‘if dadjo was canon, the world would have exploded’ — oh absolutely 😭 i was eating up the dadjo-fit in s1, like he looked so YUMMY 😋 (and ofc, the dadjo stuff is just the cutest thing in general)

but i believe you’re right. he gave more of a teacher-who-cares-a-GREAT-deal-about-his-students vibe more than a dad vibe. like a fun uncle who, again, cares a GREAT (emphasis on great) deal about his nieces and nephews. the dad thing is still such a cute headcanon and i love seeing things about it 😫

and honestly, just for the sake of joking around, i don’t think canon-him would particularly oppose it (but then probably would when his students remind him that being a dad = being old and then he’d throw a fit)

could talk about him for centuries days, honestly

‘second hand embarrassment is my vice’ — LMFAOOO 😭

girl you’d hate to be around me irl. i’m so incredibly clumsy, like on friday, i was rushing home from college in my converses (this is important to the story ‘cause i usually wear 3 inch platforms with an extra 2 inches inside from the insoles to make me taller, and on that day, i wore converses ‘cause they matched my fit) and then i tripped so bad. like my head was SO close to the ground 💀

but i trip so often that i kinda just shrug it off and go about my day regardless. it got to a point 😭

‘everytime i watch haikyuu, i have to skip the hinata ball boy arc...’ — honestly? i can understand that 😟

‘ALSO I JUST NOTICED U EDITED OUR PFPS ON THAT PIC LMAO THATS SO CUTIE’ — 🥰 no ‘cause i do this with all my friends irl too and i realised how i seem to be the only one doing it, why is society not normalising this? i need to show my love 🙄

‘it was otw back from him driving me to my fav coffee shop so i tolerated it for the sake of the coffee’ — i can understand this too. i loveeee coffee. especially iced coffee. iced lattes. with extra caramel syrup… and whipped cream on top… 👀

‘lowk im encroaching on a new man but i dont rlly know if i should be he's like rlly good friends w my best friend. my best friend is a lesbian but i dont rily wanna like mess w their relationship’ — i meannnnn if things do go south, make it end in a civil way so that your friend and her relationship with him doesn’t sour regardless of the fact that you and the guy broke up (that’s on the chance that you do get with him and break up at some point) 🥴

but being single isn’t a bad thing at all. i personally prefer it bc satoru gojo literally exists

‘do i come across as kageyama's my type??? this is a terrible day. no shade to kageyema but i am a proud seijoh4 stan....’ — no you don’t come across it specifically. but like, i’m assuming you like megumi (given by the fact that you’re reading my megumi/reader story and he’s ur pfp), and then you like that zen guy from that game 😭 those two don’t have anything in common except, perhaps, being kinda emo 💀

so i just thought kageyama would be there too 😟 like an additional grump to ur collection of emo boys idkkk

‘LMAOOO YES U SHOULD!’ — this might just take me out of my irrational fear of reading jjk fics… 👀

‘but lowk my long fic is kinda... yk.... a bit embarassing for myself... as it is a... bakugo fic.... that i started writing.... in my sophomore yr...’ — i meannnn if it’s anything like that bloody zen guy 😭 yeah, maybe not a bakugo fic

i’m not even into anyone except gojo, but like, everyone already knows that 😭

i’m aware you do smaus, so i might just read all the gojo ones!

‘DONT YOU DARE SAY THIS TO ME.’ — DON’T ACT LIKE ZEN DOESN’T LITERALLY BEHAVE LIKE MALAKAI WOULD IF HE HAD A LOVE INTEREST 😭😭😭

‘OKAY BUT I GREW UP W ZEN... HE WAS 13 YR OLD KAY'S FAV CHARACTER EVER...’ — ok, understandable, but at 13, i was crushing on characters like chad dylan cooper. WHY ZEN 😭

‘lowk me neither’ — any time someone tells me this, i get surprised ‘cause i thought i was the only one lmao 😀

‘i just think they're a rily good duo and their stories r so complex’ — oh agreedddd. like i appreciate all of this paired with seeing them as platonic soulmates, but that’s just me 🌝

‘okay but lowk yoosung's the youngest character option and he acts like it too... i got his route the first time i played and i rmbr getting kinda icked out’ — but… you didn’t… get… icked out… by zen…? 😭

ok i’m sorry i’ll stop making fun of you kay

i’ll probably bring this up again at some point

‘i like truly annoying men....’ — now if i came with a trailer, this would be the motto 😭

‘also tmrw the decisions for one of my top 5 schools comes out and i'm so spooked...’ — AHHHH

‘im a very average student tbh so if i dont get in, i may cry’ — ISKSIEJDIE WELL I RESPONDED TO THIS LATE SO THE DECISION MUST ALREADY BE OUT, DID YOU GET IN? 😧

I’M GONNA PRAY YOU DID I’M SORRY I’M LATE

‘HOW R U DOING THO? how has the hiatus been treating you? i hope everything is going well pookie bear 🙏’ — thank you for asking, i’m super duper tired ‘cause i’ve genuinely been forcing myself to study exactly how i said i would in my hiatus note 🥴 and i’m lowkey depressed without being able to write for LL 😕

but it’s all right! just have to wait till june…

[imraespace]

‼️ before reading this i just wanna let you know i yapped so hard during this and i never realized how long this was until i started rereading im so sorry. i hope everything i said makes sense </3 ‼️

ohymogsh thank you for suggesting sae w mala by 6ix9ine bc you just gave me the most brilliant idea ever omg

ALSO OMG U ALSO EDIT/EDITED OMG YAYAYAY i wanna learn how to do like yk those complex transitions w them cubes and all that bc they look so cool but im so scared ill mess them up and its gonna look so bummy 💔

I ANIMATE/TWEEN AS WELL but i use the term animate more bc the term tweening reminds me of gacha life tweening tutorial and my gacha phase was something thats for sure..!

im lowkey considering to like stop editing and start writing stories or create smaus because it takes so long to animate and i cant really do anything else except a simple zoom in/out ☹️

ive been trying to tween this one kaiser fanart and i never realized how bad kaisers hair was until i was erasing each layer of hair for 12 hours AND IM STILL SOMEHOW NOT DONE?? I STARTED THIS ABOUT A MONTH AGO TOO. i have beef w ness now cuz he couldve just gave this guy a bob cut and my life would have been so much easier >:(

i apologize that i never stop talking bc once i start talking about something im interested in i just somehow never stop BUT IM GLAD WE HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON OTHER THAN OUR LOVE OF BLUELOCK !!

- 🐙

LMAO ITS OKAY once i start yapping i cant stop as well

ALSO YIPPEE IM GLAD YOU LIKED IT!!

ABT THE COMPLEX TRANSITIONS I REALLY WANNA LEARN THOSE AS WELL i went looking at my old edits and realized i didnt even have a certain style it was all over the place LMAO i mostly edit during my genshin phase and i swear one day it was a cute yoimiya edit then next it was a depressing albedo edit that looks wayy different..

i say you should do what you want to rn like i had fun editing for while until i got bored then randomly i made a book on wattpad and it was fun to do so now im here writing for fun! ive gotten the feeling to edit a few times before but i realized how TIME CONSUMING IT IS LIKE WITH WHAT YOU SAID WITH KAISER IT TOOK ME A WHOLE MONTH TO MAKE A WHOLE EDIT WITH JUST TWEENING.

and DONT GET ME STARTED ON WHEN YOU FINISHED CROPPING THE INDIVIDUAL PARTS AND PLACE IT IN THE EDITING APP you realized you missed something out or theres a noticeable spot you forgot to hide(esp for the hair) it makes me wanna just delete everything

i think ness was feeling a bit goofy when he did kaiser haircut bc his rat tails in the back of his head is kinda funny.. i wouldve just made kaiser bald and do the edit just like that for funsies

ALSO SAMEE i cant stop talking if its something im interested in AND YIPEPE WE GOT TWO(hehehe three if you count our non stop blabbering) IN COMMON

whatever you choose to do with the editing or writing just have fun with it and you can always go back to the other one if you want!

WAIT I FORGOT TO SAY THIS HELP I HAD A GACHA PHASE AS WELL I HAD A YT CHANNEL AND SADLY I DELETED EVERYTHING BC I WANTED TO WATCH MY CRINGE VIDEOS BUT ITS ALL GONE. but ya!

[totaldramafan-lauri]

I want to rant on how gorgeous and beautiful Golden cheese is in your story..

Like she is so benovelent and gentle to anyone even outsider, like she freed reader from prison multiple times and have listen to the reader voice on what's the problem. I bet that's why reader have fallen in love with her so quickly, well so do I if I'm in that situation where i am in a tight situation and Golden cheese just comforted and helped me.. I would be down bad too!..

I'm sad that such character is not real, I know I'm crazy for saying this and just seeing her, loving her... it's weird for everyone if you love a fictional cookie but yk? When you fall in love with something.. you can never let go, I started the crk game just for her, to pull for her..

I like how sassy and passionate she gets in-game, even calling herself a god. how cute though, wish I can talk to her like the reader.. maybe I'm going to deep Inlove with this..

Im deep down delusional and not even resisting because of how I admire golden cheese cookie.. she is beautiful and gorgeous on fanarts on Twitter. I only use Twitter to just search for Golden cheese fanarts and add it to my galary..

Some people would act like this too, even worse then me to be honest.. I really like and love Golden cheese and to top it with your work is a cherry on top.. I still play the game because of Golden cheese despite all of the bad updates.. Its really refreshing that there is someone who love her the way I do too, I bet you love her more then I do because you write a whole long story just for her.. I appreciate that.

I'm a little embarrass to say all this and yap about golden cheese like no tomorrow :D.. I really admire a character that is well written and such, I can't wait for Golden cheese beastyeast update and her awaken Costume to appear. I would be spend all my time grinding if I can just get that costume or something like that..

To be honest, I really like how you write her down, make her say something that fits what her character is like... It's a bit sad that' it's going to end.. so uhm Thanks for reading and even considering to read this.. I really like your work! Keep going and don't quit please ^^)..

I-I......hhhhhh.....Th-thanks.....I-I'm really, really happy that the way I write her pleases someone who is s-such a big fan of her......! >//////<

I-I wish I could freely vent in depth about all the things I love about her, but....wh-whenever I try to, I just find myself at a loss of words.....a-and I get so e-embarrassed...M-my biggest Tumblr friends don't know about CRK, cuz I got into it through Discord, so I find it hard to open up about it here....e-especially her.....S-so...you're doing what I can't.......X///////D

A-all I can really say, is just....e-everything about her, j-just....everything....everything....appearance, voice, personality, relationship with her subjects, everything...I-If I was less shy, there's be a big big list of things about her that appeal to my tastes.....B-but the thing that FIRST made me realize I was falling hard on the first day was something actually pretty simple, and it was just her overall demeanor....and her dialogue, just....the way she carries herself. How in control she seemed to be....the amount of respect she commands when she speaks, to the point where I felt humbled in her presence....Sh-she's just flipping majestic and I dunno how else to put it in words, there's just something special about her, which makes her SOOOOO different than other god complex characters who don't have anything to back them up, pffff....

*cough* U-uh....th-that's to say......uh, you'renotalone...! U-uh, I didn't start playing for her - I've been playing since 2021 - b-but.....b-being obsessed with her....? Y-yeah,Icompletelyunderstandanddon'tworry,she'dLOVElearningaboutthatso-ahahahaha......e-everything'sfine.....x//////x

A-as for how I write her, I wouldn't say she's gentle to ANY outsider, pffff.....benevolent, yes, but let's just say that Reader here has more going for them than they think they do when it comes to drawing out her soft side.....namely, they're vulnerable, loyal and they do as they're told. They're also SO into her that she can't even be irritated at their stumbling, haha...Anyone who DOESN'T listen to her is not being treated gently. She's very patient with her subjects, sure, but OUTSIDERS? Psssshhh, you respect her, or else. X/////D

As a sidenote: I-I dunno what you mean by "despite all the bad updates". CRK's been fine to me. I-I think it's been in a pretty good state, so....yeah.....O.o Grindy games aren't for everyone, tho....Not all the updates have been amazing, but I wouldn't call any of them bad....and I find the current one very addictive (ERROR BUSTERS MY BELOVED), so....I-I kinda disagree with you, I guess.....? B-but yeah, I can't wait for her awakened form.....I dunno how she can become even MORE gorgeous, but they'll find a way somehow, I'm sure....X////D

[m1ckeyb3rry]

FR!! I love the whole universe that’s been established through all the characters and dynamics like >>>> and it’s also not just ships palooza which is honestly refreshing

No because sometimes I find some Naoya memes funny where people are shitting on him and even his character is sometimes SO ridiculously misogynistic it’s funny like how do you even exist?? I love naoya slander jokes fr though (I forgot but it’s literally so ironic apparently the way Naoya speaks is a bit lost in translation and he kinda talks like a little girl according to some jp users who’ve pointed it out?? Like BRO) but yeah the only thing he has going for him is his face card maybe (also I originally thought his hair was gonna be green but)

Oh I was not aware oh that foreshadowing!!! Haha!! Self sacrifice!! Lol!! It’s ok y/n’s alive now though so!! But yeah anyways I’m also like…in the scope of jjk0 there’s quite literally only (including y/n) 5 characters/classmates that fit into like the friend group positions? And excuse the collateral slander one of which is a bear, the other quite literally cannot talk, one who acts like a bully, one who was BULLIED like adding ocs helps broaden the dynamic possibilities a lot more?? Like there’s ofc no problem NOT adding ocs but I don’t see how you can blame someone for wanting to add them because that’s literally the tiniest class of students I’ve ever seen?? Let’s give our protag some more friends…also if you don’t like it just close the tab and go for a different fic?? I seriously don’t understand the need to vocalize complaints like this when they won’t benefit the anyone in any way like also wait THAT WAS THE COMMENT?? Wow really came full circle with BLLK Karasu and PI but BRUH yeah maybe it’s just a wattpad thing….although this is kinda unrelated I’ve also seen some really rude anons here too? Like I’ll just scroll through a tag or a blog and I see like, someone asks anonymously and goes “you’re so fucking annoying and your work is shit” BRO WHO IS COMPELLING YOU TO SAY THIS??? The fact that they take the time of day to go find their ask box and submit something like what does this achieve?? The audacity of some people it was nice to see other blogs like quote reposting and calling anon out for doing such heinous shit but what even….

I’m laughing like theoretically when I put the puzzle pieces together…yes bf material..? But also my brain says um. LMAOAOA it’s so funny I mean I don’t doubt that he would be a good bf but I can’t wrap my head around bf material and todo being in the same sentence HAHAHA

The shitty familial clans always get me the fact that they kept refusing to heal sorcerers associated with y/n?? And then tullia was truly the final straw…but so real I know they aren’t l/ns but I mean dad’s side of the family smh the hiiragis too in hollyhock <<<<<<

“Quick and easy” LMAOOO sorry it makes me laugh sm because in the span that we’ve been talking there’s already been multiple incidents of “this turned out way longer than it was supposed to” HAHAHA yk…if you just make an approximation and multiply it by 2.5 i think you’ll be good LMAO bro really said lemme churn out the Walmart version for otoya so I can get cracking on masterclass version for Karasu (I say Walmart version lightly because I know it’ll still be top tier LOL) but honestly so real gotta do the best for our man karasu

Ok by association (?? Ik there’s a better word than this but I can’t think of it LMAO) if otoyas is at 10k rn does that mean Karasu’s is gonna but the 20’s /j

Imagine it was angsty and karasu drowns (im joking no one dies in soccer!!!!!!!!!) but OMFG. I AM. SO. READY!!! LETS GOOO I LIVE FOR MEDIOCRITY COMPLEX KARASU ANGST!!! EVERYBODY CHEERED WAHOO ok but im fr so hyped for the lineup of BLLK fics you have in the works it’s been awhile since I’ve seen sm quality content being posted its such a change from the disappointingly inactive tags LMAO

This would be the crossover of the century y/n and her mom going to watch the BLLK u20 match causing and even BIGGER commotion with the press too like imagine all the cameramen who are there for the match swerving to look at the models LMAOOO I can imagine Yuki being really close to her and looking up to her almost like a mentor or cool aunt(kinda giving Gojo’s role to the jjk students except, well mrs l/n does not act like a teenager LMAOO) I bet Yukimiya would have to reign everyone in like a THATS MY BESTIE/BASICALLY MY SECOND MOM???? It’d be funny to see yuki kinda lose him temper like “no you stay TF away from them I will not allow you to taint them with your weirdness”

I’m ngl I was fr just a reader/lurker until recently, I actually used to just use the web version without an account because I was too lazy to set one up and have another thing potentially entering my email inbox until the site started forcing you to get the app which requires an account so I was like ok well gotta do what you gotta do….and then I proceeded to do exactly what I did before (literally just lurking and silently enjoying LOL) and not try to explore any of the app features and uh. Well here I am!! I’m sure I’ll figure it out someday when something prompts me to do so LMAO the platform in general is so interesting though especially compared to most other social media platforms out there!! I don’t feel like conquering that learning curve today oops

-Karasu anon

there def are some side ships (togetullia, mrs l/n and toji, elakshi and noritoshi) but for the most part yes there’s not a ton of romance going on!! plus of those three relationships only one even works out so �� truly the strength of pi imo is the platonic relationships it has (tullia and y/n will always be famous to me like it’s not at all romantic but the way they loved one another is so integral to the story it makes me emotional 🥹)

NAOYA IS JUST CRAZY TO ME LMAOAOA like he truly feels like a govt experiment…he kinda looks like raichi from bllk (or raichi looks like him idrk which one came first) but raichi is so enraged 24/7 that no one acknowledges his face card 😭💔

NO THAT’S WHAT I’M SAYING like sorry i want to have more than female character in my stories…sorry not every single character is in love w y/n…LMAO also yeah idk why people haven’t grasped the concept of just clicking another story HAHAHA like?? if you don’t like it then read something else!! why would i change how i like to write because some random on the internet is annoyed, esp considering how many people love my stories?? the entitlement is weird to me but i try not to complain abt it a lot because ik that in terms of hate i’m very lucky in that i’ve never gotten anything too bad…i have seen those types of anons it’s insane!! personally somehow i’ve avoided getting any myself HAHA idek what i’d do if i did 😩 i try to stay relatively unproblematic and in my lane on here so i haven’t ever gotten involved in tumblr drama like a lot of other accts have but i live in fear of the day that someone comes in my inbox and is a jerk 😰

when you think about it objectively todo is a good bf but when you see him you’re like “well…” HAHA i think having him as a weird rival bestie is the best in between because you get the benefits of him hanging out w you without it being romantic

THE DAD’S SIDE OF THE FAMILY IS ALWAYS THE ENEMY KFKFJDJD the hiiragis are so l/n coded too LMAO

please i need to just stop having expectations atp because i KNOW it’s going to be crazier than what i think…LMAO the otoya one is silly and unserious and more along the lines of the last part of fwtkac but i’m planning on having something a bit closer to the instrument for the karasu version where it’s more serious (we’ll see though because something abt tabieita brings out the crack fic writer in me so there’s a chance it’ll end up silly as well) HAHA as much as i love otoya i fear karasu deserves the best so my time love and energy will be going into his version

atm i’m hoping for something in like the 6-9k range for the karasu version?? so make of that what you will…the otoya version (which i should be posting in the next hour or so i hope) is almost 13k words so obviously i’m way off in my guesses as it’s over 3-4 times longer than i initially thought 😭 if the karasu version ends up being 20k words i might cry HKDJDJSK i think i’ll have written more for him than even nagi w peregrine at that point 😩

omg ykw just because you said that i’m going to make him drown LMAOAOAAO not permanently though but like 😏 mediocrity complex karasu my beloved…i’m so excited to get working on that HAHA i need to get the otoya version over with so i can focus on my main man 😢 HAHA i’m doing my best to contribute to the fandom i think i’ve written over 100k words of bllk fics since may so yk i’m putting in the work

LITERALLY omg y/n and her mother are the WAGs of all time 😭 everyone in the crowds in shock because it’s the most random soccer match ever and for some reason famous former model mrs l/n is there?? and her daughter is equally as pretty?? i feel like having endured the modeling industry mrs l/n would def take yuki under her wing and try to help him through it (maybe he was signed to the her old agency or smth) and she absolutely would NOT let y/n anywhere near that whole scene even though agents keep trying to scout her 😩 omg yuki would be sooo pressed it’s like that one tik tok sound that’s like “how old is your dad—” “TOO old for you!! and he’s married!! stay away from my dad guys he’s married!!” HAHAHA and if yuki and y/n are just friends and not dating at that point i bet otoya and aiku would try to rizz her up and she’d be so uninterested 😰 honestly besides yuki i could maybe see her going for hiori LMAOAOA so like imagine karasu’s face if he tries to flirt with her and she’s like “cool 👍 abt your friend though…😏🤩🥰” (the friend in question has zero clue what’s going on and is completely confused when she tries to talk to him)

it def is a learning curve but once you get it it feels intuitive ig?? until they throw another curveball at you 😰 even now i’m still discovering features that i didn’t realize existed 😳 i was def a silent reader/lurker for a while too!! i feel like i still am a lot of the time haha it doesn’t help that i rarely read other people’s fics because i’m usually working on my own 😓 if you ever need help w anything on here lmk though i will do my best to give advice 💪🏻

[nobodys-mother]

Oh fuck that "into the read as an acceptance who he's become" bit is

Ughghghgg im gonna cry abt it. Bc yeah my like... thing is, hes kinda treated as dumb/brutish within the world itself too by many people (not the writers), and I have this like.. thing, about him being someone who is different (he exhibits a lot of compassion in the comics, a lot of loyalty, etc which doesnt seem to be usual in the murkof enviroment) and that difference is assumed to be stupidity.

Your reading of judged by the blood actually also allows me some scratches, bc i kinda do view Chris as someone who was seen as USEFUL due to his build/strenght since childhood. Re: this bit.in the comic:

"I always been big, and I was m.p. when i was army" is a really strange answer to "you're good at violence", at least to me. He goes onto talk about being taught judo yes, but the first thing, "always having been big" stands out to me weird. Idk, being good at violence is a weird sentence in on itself but thats just Pauline being snarky i assume. He jumps to his size- something that he would have been valued for above his more compassionate side (also shown in the comic when he talks abt the other soldiers). Im circling w my words but my point is that I get the vibe that Chris is someone who was almost infantalized/demeaned by his enviroment because he was a little different, maybe softer, more trusting, possibly very loyal, and he was praised for his strenght & taught he could use it for something awful because it was useful. Judged by how much blood he can shed for us, not by his words, and he will shed blood for us. I dont know if its shame, but that is very possible too.

NOT to claim that hes some sweet innocent angel forced into murder 2 be clear, i love him but even w what im saying theres the clear implication that he values his own status/station/standing w ppl more than the lives of others, unless he genuinely believes in the good of what hes doing.(which is also very possible, esp post-engine) but yk. I just think a story of a complex person being simplified & stuffed within the box of the one trait thats valuable to the shiddy capitalistic imperialist system he lives slots p nicely into the world of outlast.

Thoughts on these Chris lines? They stand out bc most of his dialogue seems to be repetition of job reporting/protocol or direct talking to whoever he's chasing. This comes off a bit more... poetic? I'm fully aware that it might just be kinda rambling, and the words themself aren't out of place, but I thought I'd ask since there's always potential of me lacking some context/language experience!! :]

My assumption is that it' just him mumbling to himself about either some feelings, memories, trying to piece reason etc together. But it is interesting... judged by the blood esp stands out to me, it could mean a lot of things. Violence makes too.

[sugar-omi]

HI IM AN INSANE BAXSTAN AND SWIFTIE AND UR RYT MR PERFECTLY FINE HAS IMMENSE BAXMC POTENTIAL

while i think its not Unlikely for mc to forgive baxter within the span of the dlc, i DO think theyre not given enough options to feel complicated abt it. u pretty much have to decide how to feel from the start, and arent given a lot of room to change ur mind. For example, my mc Anne is a very forgiving person, especially with bax bc she understands his need to be entertaining & liked. HOWEVER she starts the dlc off thinking "ok if hes gonna be distant i can do that" but then when he jokes with xavier shes like "well im CONFUSED now and i need answers" and shes irritated, but also still likes him. after the bowling she hugs him and is still like confused, but again likes him still. by the time shes baking with him, shes both confused and endeared with him but is kinda harsh with him, even when hes apologizing at the wedding.

All this to say; its not UNREALISTIC mc would forgive in that timespan, its just the lack of complexity mc is or is not afforded that makes it feel too fast. additionally, while u do get to be mad, theres no real moderation for it, and no way to be like "this is a start, but it will take time to trust him fully again". so yeah, it feels rushed and personally i think it was rushed to be released due to whatever reasons (either not caring abt baxter or wanting to work on olnf, who knows)

anyway, i would go on about baxters dlc and its shortcomings for hours if given a chance so for now ill just call it here <3 signed, 🌸Anon

YES YES I AGREE

i do think there was a lotta effort n good stuff but into baxter, and i also havent replayed it since they updated some stuff so maybe its a bit better since release

but i do agree i think the emotional range is very limited its either "idc anymore", "im mad", "i look back fondly", "im pretty sad abt it", n all that stuff n its just pretty straight forward in whatever you choose

i think step 4 is a bit short? maybe?

BUT I ALSO THINK ITS PRETTY FLESHED OUT, now i haven't acted professional w baxter, i tried but i just didnt have time to go through w the route. but there are options!!! its just one and done i think so its kinda like, you cant express How conflicted you are

bc realistically id be so sad but i also hold a grudge so id be like "yeah you say you love me n all that n i GET IT but also im scared"

BUT I ALSO THINK ITS BC WE ARE PLAYING IT WITH SEVERAL HOURS??? like MC has 5 years to get through the emotions, but the time between him saying "see you never!!!" and "omg hi, i miss u but u dont need me but i miss u?!?!!?!" is like less than 5 minutes so.....

LITERALLY I WAS PLAYING IT THE FIRST TIME N I WAS LIKE "you bastard, fuck you. i hate you. stfu. YOURE SO CUTE. you ASSHOLE. i am going to KISS YOU. i want to slap you so fucking bad right now"

like pls i was freaking out during my first playthru

i think baxter's dlc was more focused on the "i am hurt" and "i have XYZ reasons for being like this" and it goes through all that and its less "lets work through your complex feelings/this is how you reacted when we met again bc you felt/feel very conflicted and now we will work thru it"

BAXTER DLC IS LITERALLY "I CAN FIX HIM" OMFG

but honestly i like the baxter dlc better than the derek dlc bc i HATED how "i can do everything by myself!!!!" derek was in step 2 and how sibling focused it was, i man i still loved it of course but i wish derek n mc had more 1 on 1 time

and then in step 4 it was like "i missed out on everything, i feel shitty n im sorry!" and mc just.... idk maybe i need to play it again but i was still mad derek ghosted for a whole step n then it was still very family focused, and while i loved that as well

i just wanted more derek by himself, i wanted to pamper him n love him n just yk

idk, all the dlc's are so good but i do think the forgiveness is very quick which makes sense bc they're making ol2 but man, i would love if it was just double the length or half that to just flesh it out some bc i wanted some sweet moments w the boys as well :(((

ANYWAY YES I DO AGREE ITS NOT UNREALISTIC

just unrealistic for ppl like me who take 2-3 years to get over wtf happened and another 2 to actually settle in my decision to forgive 😂😂 but even then, if i had 5 years to get over it i could prbly forgive him after a lot of crying and a bit of screaming LMAO

[jackienautism]

One thing about this game that really irks me is how Laura keeps saying how the werewolves “aren’t people” but is never really challenged on it. The game doesn’t want to talk about it either since Laura rudely asks Ryan if he “really wants to talk about ethics now” on the way to the mansion if you’re rude to her and enforces the idea that “we’re not killing Chris Hackett, we’re killing a werewolf.” I know the game’s supposed to be campy 80s horror but I just wish it explored this topic in full

this is actually a very great thing to bring up, ive never really considered it as anything more than a comfort thing. as something to make laura feel better about what she feels she has to do

i can absolutely see where shes coming from and why she says what she says, but you're right, that sort of thinking is definitely flawed. especially in the grand scheme of things. because yeah sure you're killing a werewolf but literally SECONDS later they transform back to human form.... and THEN you'll be forced to face reality. maybe there's no irl "equivalent" to this kind of situation, but going into it deeper wouldn't have hurt anyone. in fact, it would have been quite interesting, now that you mention it!

the idea that theres a chance where the creature nd antagonist of the game is actually someone you know nd love? only for a short amount of time too? meaning its not even permanent??? like. which is more important, yr own safety or that of yr loved ones (despite it being a gamble every time a werewolf enters view)? it's a fantastic concept. and yet they didn't really deliver, as you said

and like.... the one time they COULDVE done more with that topic (albeit w/ different characters) was with emma... when she gets bit in ch 4 and transforms in the van in ch 8? kaitlyn's able to shoot and kill her and yet. the game. doesn't have it so she and dylan find emma's body afterwards? they don't make them have that moment of. oh... i literally just killed my friend. like yes she did essentially kill only a werewolf but there's still someone BEHIND that werewolf, yk? and that someone is someone who she's spent the last 2 months living with and befriending

they do have kaitlyn be like "what if it's nick?" to which dylan responds with "what if it's not." which is a valid view, sure, but even if it were someone they didn't know, that's still a human person????

if Only the game presented and applied that specific dilemma to the characters more... bc even kaitlyn during her fight with caleb... i find it interesting that NO one ever had a moment of. ....i just shot and killed a person. like YEAH the person in question was under a different form and ATTACKING but, there's no way that still isn't in the back of their minds eating away at them yk?

the same thing can apply to silas too! and it's interesting to me because if you choose to not lift yr gun, laura DOES have a moment of "this is a boy im about to kill" but that's kind of IT........ so we KNOW that she understands theres a person behind the werewolf. but because there's no huge spotlight put on it in general, or shown to have been a problem for laura before, it doesn't really like. matter? it appears so. little. in comparison to everything else, i mean

the difference between chris and silas for laura was obv. max. but it is irritating how laura holds a certain view for chris' situation and a different one for silas'. especially when it's only seen in ONE potential choice during that scene. maybe it was to show laura's complexity nd duality, but i mainly think it was. poor writing. they should've made that predicament, that battle of morality, a bigger thing, for laura, for kaitlyn, for everyone

so, yeah, in the end it's never "just" a werewolf. in relation to chris, to someone like laura MAYBE, but to someone else, like ryan, it's just. not

My issue with Louis lack of role in Lestat's murder is litearlly the show made Lestat more explicitly abusive SO Louis could be the one to slice his throat. The escalation of violence was in part as the creatives have said to justify latter, both of which didn't exist in the book. If you take away Louis's agency in the murder, I think the domestic violence feels much more like a cheap shock value stunt.

to suggest book lestat is less crueler than his show counterpart just cuz his cruelty in earlier arcs was subtler than str8 up assault is a bit.. lestat cannot thrive w/o being the center of attention & will force u to look at him #byanymeans. show wise ep1 dude literally said i got my daddy temper off the jump #hewasboundtobcrazy lovebombs louis welcome to the monster’s web🧛🏾‍♀️. white master black student equals in the dark like danny said. the show begs u to look at the violence in these power dynamics off rip. show louis in the modern interview literally admits to having uneasy/complex feelings [yk. the whole my lover maker murderer bit] on lestat. im not negating the fact that louis literally slit his throat nor am i taking away his ~agency~. what im saying is claudia knew that louis had love for their abusive maker & used that for her/their own ends.. & its also trapping lestat cuz he could delude himself into thinking him& louis back in love again n ~claudia’s getting in the way~. which is why louis issuing the killer blow is a statement in of itself to his own feelings about the abuse he faced, as well as how someone pointed out, claudia & louis ripped the same body parts off the guests in ep7 that was shattered when louis was physically assaulted in ep5. what im saying is 1) to a certain extent the murder plot is also about claudia asserting her idea of revenge at what she feell like lestat (& louis) took away from her. its infant death v. gentleman death, both warring for different things they want out of louis. lover or brother, companion all the same, the third party has to be eliminated. the nuclear family died. u got multiple shots where claudia & lestat r glaring at eachother anytime louis smiles at or pays one of them (& not the other) any mind. & 2) louis in the modern day tries to sell daniel an easy story of triumph over a past love gone sour, where louis seeks liberation w claudia [the image of them holding hands as antoinette burn] from lestat when thats not how the story finished at all.. like obviously claudia isnt even around in the modern day & the vampire armand is for one. louis cant even stomach himself to say the rest of the story, digging his feet into artificial sand and daniel’s badgering his ass og damn near boutta push louis into another break& this triggers armand into dropping his rashid ruse n finishing the story louis couldnt bring himself to tell [s2]. & we, the audience, get a view into another angle of louis memory, where we see louis cry over lestat’s body and go into quite frankly hysterics at claudia suggesting alone burn lestat as they did antoinette, choking claudia out.

(And 18 im v interested in frappe art)

I accidentally deleted the first answer I'm a clown

anyway at first I hesitated before reblogging, like "am I enabling Lucy to ask for all of them? is it wise to give her all this power?"

8) uuuh this is already hard but I think lineart and sketching! like, in general. I just feel like my drawings are more expressive when only in rough form, more dynamic. If I have to choose tho I'd say hair and sometimes hands (I'm weird that way)

9) since I'm quite content with my lineart, the most of problems come with coloring, especially color painting. thats the part I'd loved having someone teaching me the most. 90% of my art is self taught and I managed to learn anatomy and proportions through experiments, books and other artists speedpaints but man. color theory, shading, lights are hard. also my pc works against me bc its screen makes everything a bit lighter and bluer than ANY other device known to man

another thing I'd love to understand better are backgrounds. architecture school taught me (half assedly) perspective and composition, but often when I draw i try to use complex scenery to get used to doing it digitally and not with 3d softwares. those are also the drawings I end up not posting because I'm not satisfied with ;-;

14) uuh I'm not sure how to answer this one. up until I was 14/15 I really liked making realistic portraits and drawing animals, but then I went through a loooong art block where I hated everyone of my drawings, so to improve i started copying other people's art, screenshots and fanarts. after a while I was so unsure about what to draw that I thought I forgot how to draw original things.

just recently, like 2 years ago, I started watching jojo, and its artstyle and colors were so weird, and the fanarts so beautiful, I started trying things on my own, bought a thick sketchbook and started filling it with drawings that progressively were more personal and I decided than at the end of the sketchbook i would have bought a graphic tablet. and since then, I've been fighting with colors lmao

I don't always feel inspired, sometimes it's really frustrating and it feels pointless, but I think right now it's one of my happier periods, artistically speaking (and you and the things you write and your reactions have a huuuuge part in it, you have no idea)

16) if the most fun is composition, sketching and lineart, the most daunting is color painting. I love finding shades that go well together, but sometimes it is stressing, because I feel like I'm ruining the vibes of the sketch and the painting is completely different from how I imagined it :/ and also for all the reasons above, like, yk, my asshole of a pc.

18) a big big dream (not really a project) is to use illustration experience for architecture, or architecture knowledge to work in illustrated books, animated series or fantasy/sci fi movies backgrounds, but it's something that's still very abstract in my mind.

the more concrete project you already know about obv, and it's one of the things I'm more excited about, is collabing with you for your next big project!

basically, for everyone not aware, I'm going to illustrate Lucy's next long wip, a jujutsu kaisen gang au, satoru's prequel story of her oneshot rabid dreams, and I'm so excited about it that as soon as it's out I'm never going to shut up about it >:3

thank you for the ask lucy! (and you know u don't have to wait for an ask game for listening me ramble about art lmao)

hello!! if you don’t mind could you elaborate on how you think the twitter fab four like. interact with kobra or how they see him? do they have a personal relationship or is he just kinda there cause he’s poison’s brother yk? idk i was just thinking abt it and wondering what you thought, ty!!

sdfksjh "if i dont mind" like i ever dont want to talk about twitterverse

so yeah like, i've been saying it a lot recently but i always try to have my crewmates like. like each other. esp in my zones, being solitary and not having a crew, while dangerous, isn't necessarily a bad thing or too uncommon bc the level of trust that i see crews as needing means that most of the time, there aren't people in a crew just to be there, theyre there for the family as much as the protection

how this shakes down in twitterverse with kobra is, obviously yeah hes poisons little brother but they dont lie to each other and they do (unconsciously a lot of the time) trust each other very intimately. they didn't have much of a relationship before leaving the city so everything that they Do have was a conscious choice, a 'i dont know this person well but they Are my sibling by choice as much as by blood and im not letting go of them' there wasnt a lot of room to go into this in SOA but like, they really do love each other very deeply and even their fights are more out of a fear of losing one another than anything else. party's a hothead and he says things in the heat of the moemnt but, and i think this was clear in SOA (i hope it was at least), as soon as he calms down he regrets it and tries to make that clear, in their own way.

for ghoul its a situation more similar to how kobra and cherri are? its very much a relationship of equals. theyre both the youngest by a lot in the crew, they're reckless in sometimes dangerous and often annoying ways, ghoul's not as dependant on waveriding as cherri is or as kobra is with sugar but having been a wavehead and still waveriding now takes out a lot of the judgement that kobra can feel from say, poison or jet. its somewhat a newer relationship (two years vs kobra's five years with poison and jet) but theres understanding and trust and enjoyment in spending time together and blowing off steam together.

with jet its a little more complex? theyre as much kobra's sibling as poison is because, really, they met only about three days after kobra and poison met properly/left the city/formed their relationship. and so theres a lot of, not necessarily protectiveness that jet has over kobra but kobra was fourteen when they met and jet was twenty, now theyre 19 and 25, thats a HUGE period of growth that both of them went through not even counting all the like. actual events and struggles and things that happened in those five years. you spend five years with anyone in such a close proximity and with such high stakes (wanted desert rebels hello!) and youre either gonna kill each other or end up loving each other. jet says what theyre thinking and theyre honest with kobra which is good for both of them and kobra is, despite being a handful, fun. hes funny and him and jet share hobbies and he gets along with mad gear so they're good at spending time together. on the other hand, kobra is a little wary (or like, almost jealous?) of jet. jet had a super stable childhood/teenagehood esp by zones standards, theyve got a steady relationship, apart from more recent traumas and weird witch destiny shit theyre well adjusted. compared to how uh, not, kobra is. that can make it a bit hard for them to see eye to eye on things, especially with things like how kobra very rarely says what hes thinking, its obvious thats irritating to jet and they dont understand it. but they work around that, theyre crewmates, theyre family, kobra cant imagine life in the zones without jet and at this point, jet cant really imagine life without him either. but that goes for all the fab four. theyre so entwined in each others lives that shit like hm... a crewmate getting captured, perhaps, throws them all out of alignment in a major way

you had to have been expecting an essay but tldr yeah, theyve all got personal relationships they all love and trust each other a lot
