It's genuinely so embarrassing being so invested into friendships. I want to make these people laugh. I want to make them giggle. Even if I'm the fool about it, I want to be wanted. I want them to see my name and wonder what I'm doing. I want them to hear my voice and smile like I do when I hear theirs. I want to be a light for them like they are for me.

It's so embarrassing to love like this, to overshare who I am just for a laugh or a giggle, to do everything to make others laugh. And the worst part is that most of the time? I'm enjoying it.

What happens when things are quiet, when the doubt creeps in. What if they don't like me? What if they want me to leave. Am I just being annoying? Are they just humoring me?

When they laugh at my jokes I feel pathetic and invincible at the same time

Johnny: "It's good to have you, but what are we gonna call ourselves now?"

Richards, erasing the letters O, U, and R from the whiteboard

Johnny: "Fantastic Eff?"

Richards, writing the letter I

Johnny: "Fantastic Fi?"

Peter trying not to laugh

Richards quickly scribbles V and E

Johnny somehow still manages to suggest: "Fantastic Fixers?"

Characters who know eachother so well, they act on what they know the other will do even when they're separated. Characters who are such good friends/lovers/allies/whatever that they know what the other will say when something comes up.

Then they argue, because one of them thought the other would want something done, and the other says "I would never", and they both feel betrayed

I don't like machines because I want to escape decay. I like machines because they are kin to me. The ease of customization and the ability to ignore neurotypical standards is what appeals to me.

The cold comfort of steel, the consistent mechanical hums and clicks. A machine doesn't need to pretend to be something it's not. A machine doesn't need to make the right faces or say the right words. Machines simply are. Especially in fiction. Machines are free to not have to follow the social rules. They are free to act under strict reasonings and morality.

My desire for metal is not one of abandoning who I was, but one of embracing who I am.

The exhaustion I feel with my life has so long been staved away by upcoming dates. Just make it to next Sunday. Just make it to Saturday. Just make it to Silksong. Just make it to the next Overwatch season. Just make it one more day.

I don't know how many times I can make it one more day. But I think that as long as I have something to look forward to, I have a reason to try. And that's... maybe it's not good, but it's better than nothing.

Charon spends his days working. He toils. Immortal flesh doesn't require rest, but it can certainly ache. There are days, or nights?, where the ferryman wished to cease his function. Could Charon ever beg the unseen to allow him rest eternal? Maybe. Maybe one day he could plead for the rest he guides other souls to.

Charon wonders this for weeks. Weeks become months, and months become years. The day comes. He is exhausted. Thousands of years of servitude and labor, he wanted it to end.

Instead of asking the unseen, he stared into the Styx. His sharp cheekbones and slender face turned him a corpse in the reflection beneath him. He took a breath of the stagnant subterranean air and prepared his step, before he saw another reflection.

Looking to his side, Eros, Romantic Love, sat. The personification's legs hung off the side of the overhang. The god was mostly physically fit, with a slight pudginess in his abdomen and limbs that matched the metaphorical 'baby-face'.

His surprise subsided as Eros lamented the futility of his task. To make mortals fall in love only for them to drift apart or die. A fruitless effort. Charon could sympathize and offer comfort. Maybe Eros was here to do the same. Charon couldn't truly tell.

The two immortal beings, so opposed in theme and aesthetic, found comfort and companionship in eachother for longer than Charon could keep track.

Until Psyche came along.

And once again.

Charon was alone, with nothing but a practice in futility to keep him company.

My Overwatch OC (who my main blog is dedicated to @nullsector-xehnos ) has gotten a redesign

Support Character a member of the Gwishin faction who was once a salvage bot but has upgraded themself to repair living omnics.

“Scrapping was all I had known, ripping apart my fallen friends. Those human meka squashed my family like bugs. Did they even try peace? Or did they strike our envoys first? Not like it matters now. When Null Sector began broadcasting, encouraging omnics to join the cause for liberation, I was changed. Enlightened with purpose. I have wasted too long salvaging corpses. I will repair my kin while they stand, and we will be free.“

This is my dragonborn pc for a dnd campaign im in. She believes herself to be a spinel dragonborn and a to-be-god. Her name is Xridior, the feathered jewel. She's a divine soul sorcerer and is very relationally intelligent. Her breath weapon is a neurotoxic gas that causes those caught in it to hallucinate (taking psychic damage). Yes, she is covered in feathers and has a tail.

I think it would be something like a contact staff performance. Very flowy and tranquil almost. A moment of peace, for himself, something to temporarily take his mind from battle.

Alternatively, I think if Ramattra gets a walking emote it will have null sector drones materialize at his side and will be a march.

If ramattra does get a dance emote, what do you think it would be?

I almost think it to be like the hazbin hotel dance from fortnight because of the staff....but I don't know

You can find my original answer here

It's such a tough question-

If it had to involve his staff, maybe something similar to Reinhardt's Sweethardt dance or maybe even something with his orb like Zenyatta's dance emote.

Unless Blizzard decide to throw a massive curve ball and make him breakdance-
