tamaki's relationship with the others!

TAMAKI -> CASSIAN: who is this </3

CASSIAN -> TAMAKI: uhhh i don’t really have a clue?

TAMAKI -> CECILIA: i’ve seen her a few times at the mall i think? i recognize her bc of her pink hair lmfao

CECILIA -> TAMAKI: ohhh i’ve seen him! sometimes when i go shopping i see him, he’s got a cool look

TAMAKI -> LUNE: ahh, the scary guy? saw him beating the fuck out of this guy, it was pretty entertaining, and he looked like he was having a lot of fun lol

LUNE -> TAMAKI: oh i remember this guy, shockingly. he saw me beating someone up and then told me to carry on, strange dude

TAMAKI -> LUCIAN: ohh luci, he’s a funny guy, we’re friends, i don’t know how we became friends and i’m almost certain he doesn’t either. we hang out every now and then, he’s strange but he’s not a bad guy, he’s pretty entertaining if i’m being honest. he kind of reminds me of shadow the hedgehog a bit? but i think that’s the vibe he’s going for. 

LUCIAN -> TAMAKI: tamaki? i think he’s cool, he’s kinda like me, so we see eye to eye on a lot of things. i… don’t remember how we became friends honestly. i usually ride solo but he’s alright, i don’t mind keeping him around (secretly kinda happy that he has a friend though, as much as he won’t admit it) 

TAMAKI -> NOX: not a damn clue

NOX -> TAMAKI: am i supposed to know who this is?

TAMAKI -> ROWAN: i… don’t know </3

ROWAN -> TAMAKI: hmm??? :D

i also decided to try something new! here's how he is in a relationship :D

TAMAKI tends to cater to your needs and tries to treat you as well as possible but can become unstable at times. he will never ever take his anger out on you but instead becomes sad and desperate. he hates getting into arguments and will beg for forgiveness if he thinks you’re upset with him, but if he’s upset with you he tries to guilt you into feeling bad and spending more time with him. he likes to take care of you as much as he can, if you guys are in a relationship he will make you feel loved constantly, he likes keeping you happy. he’s very insecure and needs a lot of reassurance but he can make you happy he promises! he likes taking you shopping and dressing you up. he especially likes it when you help pick out clothes for him. he wants to pamper you as much as he can. he gives you some of his sweaters, his arm covers, and lets you basically do whatever you want. he likes having your attention on him so he loves to stay near you, he loves it when you guys play games together and loves to play the guitar for you. he gets really flustered and giggly when you do his makeup or hair, he loves you so much. he is the happiest when he is around you and would drop anything to be with you. if you ever left him he would die. he can’t live without you.

(i have this little blurb for my other ocs too! if you wanna see them pls lmk haha)

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR GREAT GOD GROVE!!!

// A small walk through a gallery of stained glass \\

I kinda wanted to base this off of when you start to fully realize Inspekta is actually the villain? Sort of like the feeling of it creeping up behind you :]

(I started to realize when I got to Bauhazzo, so I put the Godpoke there :])

Also all the stained glass on their own because I am

Very proud on how they turned out :]

[sincerity--extreme]

Just spent over 10 hours editing each single episode of Dracula to finally have all Katie's scenes on my collection, and looking at Lucy's pouty face and teary eyes and overall jealous behavior for the entire thing was so heartbreaking but also so cute cause Katie's pout is just so perfect... Poor baby Lucy, deserved so much better

I can't recall if I ever went on a ramble about a MD head canon I have (I feel like I have, but maybe I've just thought about it so often that I've convinced myself I've made a post about it. Either way, let us endulge in the fixation)

it's about the worker drones' simultaneous crippling fear of the disassembly drones and general indifference to death.

Here's a cut because this ended up way longer than I thought it would-

Just about every worker drone is terrified of the murder drones (reasonably so, as they can peel one of them open like a mechanical orange) and yet in spite of this, they show a blatant disregard for safety once the sky demons are out of sight.

First two times we see something like this happen is when Khan lets Uzi go outside at night to "look at the door hydraulics" and later when the WDF guard corrects N on the name gin rummy instead of running for his life. Now, maybe Khan was too excited about Uzi showing an interest in doors to think about the potential danger, and maybe worker drones are big dumb dumbs most of the time.

But then you have situations like in the promening and cabin fever where groups of drones will initially show fear before quickly relaxing around the murder machines. They go from shaking in fear after watching one of their classmates being shot to offering friendship and poking one of them in the face in mere minutes.

So, why do they go from terrified to unbothered so fast.

Well, we know the drones on Copper 9 were mostly used for mining, a dangerous job that can have deadly accidents even when human safety standards are in place. So, JCJenson has to program these drones to dig up the ore, carry it to the surface, process it, et cetera. Building and repairing robots costs money, so ideally you'd want to minimize them getting damaged in the most cost-effective way possible. Safety measures decrease production and safety equipment costs money, so what are they to do?

My head canon/theory is that they programmed the drones to avoid situations that will damage themselves. Something to stop them from walking into pits and sticking their heads between moving gears. So if a drone sees another drone get broken by something, they're programmed to avoid the thing that lead to their buddy getting killed. See another drone get crushed by a rock? Avoid loose boulders. See another drone fall into a smelter? Avoid moving along the edge of the catwalk. And so on and so forth.

But you don't want them to be too careful. After all, if you program them with too much anxiety they'll be too scared to work, which will decrease production. So they also programmed them to proceed if they see that there's no immediate danger. Sure, three drones fell into a sinkhole in this area last month, but Steve's standing over there and not falling into the ground, so it must be safe. With this, also comes an explanation for their indifference to death, even when it happens to friends or family. If a drone grieves losing a coworker, then they won't work as well. So once the initial fear of seeing another being breaking passes, they move on and get back to setting off explosions (standing a few extra feet away this time).

Going back to the scenes from The Prommening and Cabin Fever-

The crowd is initially scared of V when she drops in. But when Lizzy explains that they're friends and insists that they "forgive and forget" they go right to clapping and cheering. As soon as the known threat proves to be safe, the fear switches off.

Cabin Fever is an even better example. They've all just watched V shoot another drone. N acts very friendly, but they remain afraid. That is, until Lizzy and Thad move to stand next to the two murder drones. They see the two not die by doing this, and immediately the entire group relaxes and are soon treating N and V as though they're just your run-of-the-mill drone. The worker teens only show fear again when they do something that could threaten them. Such as at the archery range when V points the bow at them.

They show similar behavior around Uzi that episode as well. When ever her presence is brought to their attention, there's visible fear. This makes sense with her past behavior in mind. Railgun exploding in class, taking over classmate's sentience, general violence. She's proven to be a potential danger, and so they're afraid when first seeing her. When she doesn't immediately do anything to harm another drone, they soon calm down to the point that they forget she even exists. She makes herself known when the bus arrives at camp Fear till their attention is drawn to the teacher and then the murder drones She shows up at the archery range and arrow into a flesh beast Fear until she runs away, name then forgotten She rips a drone's head off and pauses for dramatic effect In those few seconds of not killing her, Lizzy switches from afraid to criticizing her

It's like once the "threat" is resolved, their brains determine she isn't worth focusing on to the point of the drones forgetting her name. (In particular, Lizzy is really unbothered by almost getting killed in that episode. Possibly because she's been spending time with V? A sort of desensitization)

After all, if another drone isn't a danger, and they aren't working alongside them (not in the same mining team, not in the same clique) it isn't worth it to have info on them and tosses it to the recycling bin.

We see the solver drones and disassembly drones break this line of behavior. Along with Khan, Thad, and Lizzy to an extent. (Which, in all fairness, could just be main character privileges)

Khan of course shows to still care about Nori's death years after the fact, as well as concern about Uzi leaving at the end of the pilot. I think it's worth noting how the other WDF members in episode 2 react to him prioritizing Uzi over building a door. Calling the idea "cringe" and displaying general annoyance and sickness at the idea. Is it just because it's Khan and Uzi, or do drones just see anyone putting family over work as strange?

Thad isn't afraid of Uzi and doesn't have a negative view of her like the other teenage drones. Has he not witnessed her "shenanigans" or is he just braver and kinder than most drones? He isn't afraid of N in episode 2, but, as he says himself, N helped save his life. He also shows some concern for other drones dying when he mentions the disappearances to Uzi in Heartbeat.

Lizzy has also shown to be braver than most drones. Little fear around Uzi, was able to hang around with V long enough to set up the prom scheme, helped Doll set up said prom scheme despite Doll doing a bunch of murdering, willingness to just walk up to J and trying to punch her. Her being around V and Doll would suggest she doesn't have the same concern about other drones dying the way Thad does. But that could just be her putting up a front. Perhaps we'll get to see a little more in episode 8.

Hope anyone who read through all this found at least some enjoyment in doing so. I thought this would be, like, 3 short paragraphs tops, but now there's a little over 1200 words.

[speakofthedebbie]

I think I genuinely broke last night. Like I went on a fucking tirade to no one but myself about how everyone's an ass nowadays and how in a world that's completely and thoroughly fucked it's not that hard to be a decent fucking human being. I'm not gonna post that insanity but just. Be kind guys. It takes 1% effort and makes this shitty world 100% better.

Ever remember that Eddie, whether unknowingly or by making a thoroughly educated guess, was able to put Buck at ease after the ambulance just by telling Buck that he could have Eddie’s back any day? Do you remember that this beautiful man, this brand new firefighter, saw Buck desperate for some trust, a partnership, a family, and without hesitation, gave him just that?

And it wasn’t that Eddie hadn’t been showing Buck how they could be as partners for the entire episode, because he was. Buck needed to hear those words directly. And it doesn’t matter that Eddie didn’t know Buck well enough yet to understand what reassurance Buck needed to shut the posturing down. Eddie still said exactly what Buck needed to hear, and that is why they are so special from the very start. They were what each other was missing, and they didn’t even need the usual getting-to-know you period with work partners or even eventual best friends. Both of them immediately dove in, making insane moves like introducing Eddie to Carla, letting Buck meet Christopher, rescuing people inside sideways buildings together, and having zero personal space between them. They were already so partner-coded for the other that it was impossible for them to end up anywhere but here.

Is it not insane that they bonded and clicked so quickly? Like, let season two Buddie have their shotgun Elvis wedding in Vegas because they were moving fast.
