why knowing the unseen worked (and why i'm afraid mafu6 won't)
disclaimer: ena's father did traumatize her and his actions can't be justified. but the event doesn't try to justify them or act like he's had a complete change of heart since then
the fundamental nature of the abuse was different, so reconciliation is cathartic and beneficial for ena but not for mafuyu
ena's dad put her down, so what she needs is to be lifted up. mafuyu's mom wanted to control who she was, so what she needs is to break free (which she's already done)
the point of adding depth to shinei is making ena realize she's not talentless like she thought, that she's worthy of being an artist. what would be the point for mafuyu of having her mom suddenly show remorse?
ena's dad made her feel worthless because her self-worth was tied to her art. so to realize that she's actually been the most precious thing to him ever since she was born is rewarding for her. it's not about redeeming him
mafumom could say all kinds of nice things to her daughter in the next event and it wouldn't mean anything. she already calls her a "good girl" and stuff all the time. she's manipulative
shinei is not manipulative. he couldn't be even if he tried because the man is emotionally incompetent
that's why it's only through his art that he's able to convey his true feelings to his daughter, which is so fitting since art is the thing they share, or at least should share
mafumom has already had an arc, which was like the opposite of a redemption arc. mafuyu went from thinking of her as a good mom to realizing she was destroying her. to redeem her now would just be going backwards
by contrast, knowing the unseen is the first time we're really delving into shinei's character, and what we learn about him doesn't contradict anything from before
rephrased: mafuyu thought her mom truly loved her, but it turns out she only loved the idealized daughter in her head. ena thought her dad didn't care about her, but it turns out he loved her from the start
so yeah
#sorry if this is incoherent#i was going to use this as an outline and turn it into a proper essay post but#i don't think i'll have time to do all that before the event ends on en#project sekai#pjsk#nightcord at 25:00#n25#ena shinonome#mafuyu asahina#mafumom#shinei shinonome#shinonome ena#asahina mafuyu#kana5#niigo#overanalysis

The fact u use AI for virtually all your fics is fucking crazy 🤣
I’m only going to say this once: I have never posted anything written by AI.
1) It uses an insane amount of water and energy.
2) I write when I need a break from my literal constant studying, it’s a hobby and an escape that can’t be replaced by AI.
3) I have nothing to gain by posting fics that I haven’t written myself. I’m not getting paid for this. No one even knows who I am. I had to take a break for months because I was exhausted from writing and had a nasty case of writer’s block!
I understand that AI is becoming more and more prevalent, concerningly so at times, but unwarranted accusations like this hurt writers who pour their passion and effort into their work.
Also, I’ve been using the em-dash since before AI co-opted it (shoutout to my 9th grade English teacher who used to be a journalist and introduced it to me), but now people think it’s a sign of something generated by AI which is so annoying 😭
#the only thing i use AI for is condensing notes and making study outlines#it can be a valuable tool when used in the proper context#but it cannot replace creativity or soul

I once wrote a crack AU where Penelope and Ctimene told Odysseus and Eurylochus basically the same thing before the Trojan war like, "I don't care who you sleep with so long as it's not with a woman" and they're like "OK bet." And they hooked up once when drunk and then just didn't stop. The plausible reason for that being Eurylochus catches feelings over the fact that Ody looks so similar to Ctimene (they're twins here) and Eury misses his wife hardcore- why is Odysseus doing it? The fuck should I know. Ody is also in a weirdly devoted situationship with Diomedes during this- Odysseus and Polites also hooked up like once but it stayed as a one time thing because they're just bros (QPR, dare I say? Idk why, but Polites just gives aroace- romance and sex indifferent -who loves his friends a lot vibes, or maybe I'm projecting because he's my favourite). MEANWHILE, PENELOPE AND CTIMENE ALSO HOOKED UP??? I kept Eury and Poli alive at the end, just because I wanted Eury and Ctimene to have a conversation that was like-
"YOU FUCKED MY TWIN BROTHER????"
"YOU FUCKED HIS WIFE?????????"
(Please read the tags lol)
#epic the musical#epic musical#eurylochus#polites#penelope#ctimene#diomedes#odysseus#odypen#odydio#euryody#odypoli#is there a ship name for pen x ctimene???#diomedes has a toxic masculinity reform moment where hes so sick of agiale's bullshit#he spends the last nine years of the Odyssey in ithaca with Penelope#when ody comes home they kinda add dio to the marriage#diopen daughter???#the outline for this au is really shitty but i feel like i could make a proper crack taken seriously fic out of it

Oooh this might be a controversial take (for the bireena community maybe) but I feel like I need to get it off my chest
I don’t ship sekhan, I feel like that is completely obvious, but-
I didn’t want bireena in khaos reigns either (even before it came out and sekhan became canon)
At most, I wanted them to meet, try to kill each other maybe, have no choice but to team up, and then leave off on a cliffhanger on what the future could hold. LIKE that was it. No romance yet, maybe not even an official friendship, just obscurity to set up their future.
I feel like we’re still at a point where Bi-Han needs to make a lot of personal growth first. The last thing I want him doing is putting his nasty unredeemed hands anywhere near my precious SAREEEENNNAAAA!! If they were to interact at any point in future games or kombat packs, I want the focus to be on redeeming the two (mostly bi-han) cause at the end of the day, I am a Bi-Han fan first, bireena fan second. I will even take it if they just end up as friends if that means he can finally redeem himself and not go down the constant path of evil and being someone’s side-kick.
From my time on twitter I’ve noticed the constant need of some bireena fans to attack sekhan and complain that we didn’t get bireena, which is fair they’re allowed to do that, but I think that’s genuinely the wrong way to look at this whole situation. I mean, if you wanna think in context to how Bi-han acts/ presents himself in this timeline, I actually think he and sektor make perfect sense. He doesn’t like people disagreeing with him and sektor is basically the embodiment of an enabler/ loyalist. OF COURSE, he’d be down for that (which is not to say I like sektor’s writing either, I wanted her to betray Bi-Han and push her own image onto the Lin Kuei). But I think the point of putting him with her (though I don’t want to give NRS any writing credit yet) is to show how messed up his mind is and how he goes for the wrong methods to get what he wants (like liu kang said).
I know we shouldn’t exactly take the Johnny cage announcer voice as canon but I feel like everyone is missing the “future” part in “bi-Han’s future bestie”. They still haven’t even officially met if you don’t count him kicking nitara’s ass at the Ying fortress. If they had gotten together in khaos reigns it would’ve been just as bad and poorly written as sekhan. If you wanna attack sekhan and call it forced because her entire story revolves around a man then you need to also keep in mind that if Sareena had been written as a romantic interest to Bi-Han in khaos reigns it would be the exact same thing. Sareena still has her own soul to redeem and her own past to confront. The last thing she needs is to be with a man that has all the mental maturity of a group of middle schoolers who frequent Hot Topic.
(This portion is my own headcanoning and how I want them to meet, I’ll mark where it ends)
As stated before, I think the main priority should be Bi-Han and Sareena focusing on their redemption arcs if they are to interact with each other in the future. Bi-Han needs to see the error in his ways of thinking and let go of his pride. Sareena needs to see she’s more than just an underling to Quan Chi and break free from his control. If anything, I think the best way to approach this is to maybe bring up MK Mythologies again and have them meet through that. Maybe Bi-Han gets betrayed and gets stuck in the netherrealm and has no choice but to spare a life (Sareena’s) and relies on her to help him get out. That way it would teach him the value of mercy that he didn’t understand in Khaos Reigns. And from there I think in terms of Sareena’s story she sees someone with a tainted soul and feels some empathy about that. Helping him to redeem himself- to her- would be like a way of helping her understand that no soul is too far gone and she herself can be redeemed and help others.
As far as how he would act after being “redeemed” I can’t exactly tell you how I think he would act, especially since he’s not really the apologetic type. But maybe an interesting route he can take is Kuai Liang’s old role in the previous timelines. He’s seen how fa pride can take you and how destructive it is. That way he’s the perfect perspective to redo/ remodel the Lin Kuei. Kuai Liang seems too focused with the Shirai Ryu this time around so if anyone should be redeeming the Lin Kuei it should be the guy who has taken the most mental and physical damage from being a part of it. And from that little plot line, the Shirai Ryu and the Lin Kuei can make peace with each other.
Again, THIS DOESN’T HAVE TO BE ROMANTIC FOR BIREENA. I’m more than happy if they’re just friends in the end. I just want some sort of redemption and closure for them for ONCE! They’ve been subject to so much heartbreak and evil in previous timelines, they deserve better than this one dimensional writing.
(End headcanon here)
I know this may all come off as hypocritical coming from me, the most frequent poster in the bireena tag 😂, but keep in mind the type of content I post. I VERY CLEARLY do not take myself or my art very seriously and most of my art is comedy based. So before you sharpen your pitchforks and sum me up as just another bireena artist, just know I draw what entertains me the most and I’m usually not serious about it.
Do I still want bireena? Or course I do. I just don’t want it NOW. I’m willing to wait- I don’t want forced/ rushed writing on a ship I’ve devoted myself to for the past year.
#hot take#mortal kombat 1#khaos reigns#bireena#bi han#sub zero#sareena#sektor#THIS IS KINDA A ROUGH DRAFT#I have more thoughts on the manner but I’m not a super eloquent writer#plus I need to outline it since again- I struggle with writing#THIS IS EXACTLY WHY IM AN ARTIST AND NOT A WRITER LOOOL#I feel like if I could properly write I would have an actual bireena comic planned out by now#but I lack the proper skills and consistent writing for it#but hey that’s what practice is for#so I guess take this post as me practicing putting my thoughts into words instead of making dumb doodles#HOLY YAPP I SHUT UP NOW

Fem!Primarch Au Ideas
Lion El‘Jonson: Is sligthly better at social stuff. Which might just be that it‘s more socially more acceptable on Caliban for a unmarried woman to refuse to speak to men. Officially spends most of her time telling Luther what to say and letting him do the social things. Unofficially has a crossdressing knight-persona to go out and do stuff. It took E like three days to figure out that that knight and Lion are in fact the same person. Might keep the knight-persona even after beeing found. Also she had a habit of sending all suitors on impossible quests in Caliban‘s forests where they would painfully die.
Fulgrim: Chemos has little to no genders. Either you can work or you are dead, what‘s in your pants doesn‘t really matter. Anyways, then Fulgrim get‘s discovered, introduced to the concept of gender and is now very anxious about performing gender expectations correctly. It isn‘t working very well. Guess who might not actually be a woman
Perturabo: Kind of got attic-daugthered by Dammekos, because of course all of that were his ideas, not the ones of a little girl. Perty is not amused by this. She later is in possesion of at least half the warcrime‘s squad braincells (the warcrime squad is a found family thing Angron, Sang, Perty and Konrad have going on), provides all the artillery support for them and is the main Konrad-handler (after Fulgrim of course). I haven‘t yet decided how much they are kissing.
Jaghatai Khan: Something, something crossdressing. Might kiss Morty. That‘s all my notes so far.
Leman Russ: I‘m really not yet sure what to do with Leman, because I could just do some purely cosmetic changes and it would be fine enough. But also I could do some really drastic changes… for example if I remember correctly in viking culture (which is what I‘m going off for Leman) magic was seen as a womens thing so you know ice-witch Leman would be fun
Konrad Curze: Still wondering if gender is something you can eat. Mostly cosmetic changes, but they are a bit more mentally stable due to the support of the warcrime-squad. I‘m considering giving Konrad a decently bad case of has-the-voice-of-a-little-kid, because that would be pretty creepy.
Sanguinius: I‘m going with the „Sanguinus was a slave as a child“-headcanon I‘ve seen in multiple fics and really like. So Sang had some pretty dark stuff happen to her and overall ends up beeing much less nice and more angry, the vibe is „Vampire warlord collecting the heads of her enemies“ and I love it a lot.
Angron: Is still Angron, no big changes here except she and Sang are kind of a couple
Roboute Guilliman: Had to spend a significant of time arguing over beeing allowed into politics directly (instead of doing the proper thing of marrying some old guy, puppeting him from behind the scenes and cashing in on the inheritence). Also Konor is still alive in this au, since Rob happend to be in the senate that day and carrying a hidden sword for entierly non nefarious reasons.
Mortarion: So Calas Typhon‘s mother was drowned for having a child with a overlord (presumably not voluntarely). If people start to suspect something similar happend to Morty, it‘s gonna be very good that Primarchs are very hard to kill. Especially if people don‘t take „there never was a child“ for a answer for where the nonexistent kid is, and start spreading rumors that Morty killed or abandoned it.
And I don‘t yet really have much or anything at all for the rest, so Rogal Dorn, Ferrus Manus, Magnus, Horus, Lorgar, Vulkan, Corvus and Alpharius Omegon, but feel free to give me some ideas
#You might note that I have not yet decided wheter to change their names or not#Also this is just ideas not yet a proper outline#warhammer 40k#female primarch#primarchs#lion el'jonson#fulgrim#perturabo#jaghatai khan#leman russ#konrad curze#sanguinius#roboute guilliman#angron#mortarion

I just wanted to pop in here to say thanks for making Buck the way he is. He speaks to the “overly apologetic but a little freak(affectionate)” and “grandpa with hyper-specific interests” parts of my soul. I hope I can have a partner as good as Davey one day, you have raised the bar for me. I can’t wait for Villain Coded to be a comic, because I’m already having a great time thinking about the stuff we already have.
WAH.... THANK YOU... here's to love for all our gay little special interest freak soldiers out there. may you all be loved for exactly as you are...!!
#anonymous puzzler answers#anonymous puzzler originals#villain coded comic#buck has been a very fun character to organically develop over the past couple years i love where he's ended up#hoping to go a bit harder with villain coded devwork soon so I can actually start comic-ing and posting#there's a solid outline but i wanna review and re-edit that and start writing proper scripts and doin thumbnails

had an inspiring and riveting discussion about pixel art with some friends recently. heres some unfinished sprites of best friends + orange cassidy as a result. and a zoomed out version w/ some progress shots
#it wouldnt be proper to call this a wip because i am certainly not finishing it#wrestling#chuck taylor#trent beretta#orange cassidy#i fucking love pixel art btw. its my art origins™ so i have a lot of nostalgia for it. and also opinions#if i had more time i wouldve refined the sel-out. im not really much of a solid-black-outline type of guy tbh#and prolly tinker with the proportions more...#i liked the grayscale wip chuck proportions but i had to make him taller in order for trent + orange to not look weird#trent is a pixel or two too tall actually but. no. im not going to go back and fix it i have other things i need to be doing instead#pixel art

I don't really wish this because daydreaming fic is my survival mechanism -- but I do kind of wish that if work is going to wear me out so much that I can't write anything, that it would also make me too worn out to daydream up more fic ideas. Because when I said 'I'd love to write a remix one day', I did not mean 'right this second with the same story I'm also writing a missing chapter for'. And yet -- ONCE AGAIN -- that is what my brain is doing: brainstorming my own take on this 22 year old fic plot just because I interpret the characters differently than the original author. 🫠💀
#It's the melodrama okay#Like don't get me wrong I had fun leaning into it while outlining the missing chapter#But also it grated against my psyche just enough that it made me wonder how I would've written this if I was tackling it from chapter 1#And now there's an entire evening's worth of yearnful dancing and many many passionate affair smut scenes running through my head#🤷🏻♀️ I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M SUPPOSED TO STOP THESE THOUGHTS#Besides win the lottery; quit my job; and spend all day writing fic so that I can put a proper dent in my backlog#Which I would take#Which billionaire has a special interest in Niles/Daphne fic? Come sponsor me#🙏 For the low low price of 100k a year I will write many many Niles/Daphne fics.#Willing to negotiate a lower salary if you throw in full health insurance#Billionaires?... No?#Well fuck you too 😑

you put together something truly amazing in that hunger games au. how cool is it that this was done in just a couple weeks! the work you created was moving and impactful. great job!
Thank you so so much!!! I'm very proud of it, and honestly even though I don't think it's anywhere near my best work, I actually learned a lot about my creative process through this and have a better understanding of how to tackle big projects in the future because of it, which is really neat!
#i'm traditionally a short form fic writer#the number of stuff i've got that's over 20k is miniscule compared to my oneshots and quick 3-chapter romps#so it was very valuable to realize that i CAN push through a 30k word first draft in less than a month if i have the proper outline for it#asks and answers#taylor talks#sfth hunger games meta

There are about 91 MTF's (I don't doubt there are more I haven't found yet) in the SCP universe as a whole. When they were created and which existed in the 1970s can make that number lower. However, I did manage to lower the potential MTF task forces down too:
MTF Gamma-6 (“Deep Feeders”): According to the wiki this taskforce, specializes in investigating and tracking oceananic anomalies.
MTF Eta-5 (“Jäeger Bombers”): according to the official wiki it's a "...rapid-response unit specializing in the tracking, capturing, and containment of Large-Scale Aggressors (entities over 30m in height). Deploys from, and detains LSAs within Dimensional-Site-172."
(I'm unsure though if this taskforce would be deployed.)
MTF Eta-10 (“See No Evil”): this task force, "...specializes in the investigation, acquisition, and initial containment of objects or entities exhibiting visual cognitohazards, visual memetic agents, or otherwise require indirect or alternative observation in order to safely handle."
(The cosmic entity in Still Wakes the Deep does seem to emit some sort of visual effect when seeing it or even looking at it for too long.)
SCP fans and anyone else who's been (or even is) in this fandom and has been for a good while, please share your ideas on which would be deployed (or even deployed first). I'll take the help I can get because this is a lot.
#scp fandom#scp foundation#scp#swtd#still wakes the deep#crossover#scp fandom please help me out#i literally don't know#I wanna do proper research on this to the point where I can get an outline

I know you talk mainly about dr2 on your blog, but what do you think about Kiiruma (Kiibo x Miu)?
Oh, I like Kiiruma! XD To be honest, I didn't pay much attention to their relationship when I was playing the game, but I started to like it when I looked at some of the fan art. I like the type of Kiiruma that Miu sometimes curses at clumsy Kiibo, but after all, she adores him. 😊
Here is a very cute Kiibo and Iruma Valentine's Day story from Ultimate Ask Blog that I often talk about on my blog, I would like everyone to see it!:
It begins with Kiibo being suggested to give Miu some chocolate 🍫: https://www.tumblr.com/ultimateask/742594134083289088/poor-miu-bro-keebo-get-your-girl-some?source=share
2. At the first answer, Kiibo hesitates, but when it is suggested again, he decides to give Miu a chocolate! 💝 But the chocolate is......... (See the actual post!): https://www.tumblr.com/ultimateask/743756747680956417/keebs-it-can-be-platonically-she-deserves-to?source=share
3. Then, Kiibo tries again! 🥛 : https://www.tumblr.com/ultimateask/744511778844770304/keebo-i-think-that-chocolate-needs-a-little-milk?source=share
4. And finally...! 🌟: https://www.tumblr.com/ultimateask/745780042162995200/keebo-thats-not-really-ugh-just-heat-up-the?source=share
Kiibo's hard work for Miu is cute! 🥰
#my art#ask#ndrv3#kiibo#k1 b0#miu iruma#I wanted to draw Miu and Kiibo one day#so I took the opportunity to draw them.#BUT Drawing Kiibo is much harder than I thought! X(#I look carefully at the art book#but his body is colored dark#so I can't really see where the outlines of each part are.#I envy those who can draw him well! (T_T)#I'm sure I'll have another chance to draw him. I'll make a proper observation then.
