I've seen a number of people worried and concerned about this language on Ao3s current "agree to these terms of service" page. The short version is:

Don't worry. This isn't anything bad. Checking that box just means you forgive them for being US American.

Long version: This text makes perfect sense if you're familiar with the issues around GDPR and in particular the uncertainty about Privacy Shield and SCCs after Schrems II. But I suspect most people aren't, so let's get into it, with the caveat that this is a Eurocentric (and in particular EU centric) view of this.

The basic outline is that Europeans in the EU have a right to privacy under the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), an EU directive (let's simplify things and call it an EU law) that regulates how various entities, including companies and the government, may acquire, store and process data about you.

The list of what counts as data about you is enormous. It includes things like your name and birthday, but also your email address, your computers IP address, user names, whatever. If an advertiser could want it, it's on the list.

The general rule is that they can't, unless you give explicit permission, or it's for one of a number of enumerated reasons (not all of which are as clear as would be desirable, but that's another topic). You have a right to request a copy of the data, you have a right to force them to delete their data and so on. It's not quite on the level of constitutional rights, but it is a pretty big deal.

In contrast, the US, home of most of the world's internet companies, has no such right at a federal level. If someone has your data, it is fundamentally theirs. American police, FBI, CIA and so on also have far more rights to request your data than the ones in Europe.

So how can an American website provide services to persons in the EU? Well… Honestly, there's an argument to be made that they can't.

US websites can promise in their terms and conditions that they will keep your data as safe as a European site would. In fact, they have to, unless they start specifically excluding Europeans. The EU even provides Standard Contract Clauses (SCCs) that they can use for this.

However, e.g. Facebook's T&Cs can't bind the US government. Facebook can't promise that it'll keep your data as secure as it is in the EU even if they wanted to (which they absolutely don't), because the US government can get to it easily, and EU citizens can't even sue the US government over it.

Despite the importance that US companies have in Europe, this is not a theoretical concern at all. There have been two successive international agreements between the US and the EU about this, and both were struck down by the EU court as being in violation of EU law, in the Schrems I and Schrems II decisions (named after Max Schrems, an Austrian privacy activist who sued in both cases).

A third international agreement is currently being prepared, and in the meantime the previous agreement (known as "Privacy Shield") remains tentatively in place. The problem is that the US government does not want to offer EU citizens equivalent protection as they have under EU law; they don't even want to offer US citizens these protections. They just love spying on foreigners too much. The previous agreements tried to hide that under flowery language, but couldn't actually solve it. It's unclear and in my opinion unlikely that they'll manage to get a version that survives judicial review this time. Max Schrems is waiting.

So what is a site like Ao3 to do? They're arguably not part of the problem, Max Schrems keeps suing Meta, not the OTW, but they are subject to the rules because they process stuff like your email address.

Their solution is this checkbox. You agree that they can process your data even though they're in the US, and they can't guarantee you that the US government won't spy on you in ways that would be illegal for the government of e.g. Belgium. Is that legal under EU law? …probably as legal as fan fiction in general, I suppose, which is to say let's hope nobody sues to try and find out.

But what's important is that nothing changed, just the language. Ao3 has always stored your user name and email address on servers in the US, subject to whatever the FBI, CIA, NSA and FRA may want to do it. They're just making it more clear now.

THE WAIT IS OVER. THEY ARE FINALLY HERE

[hexedkakes]

It’s bad… it’s as bad as SCC

Always the characters with 0.5 seconds of screen time dude 💔

(Thank you Northe for writing 99% of the Pipis 💔💔)

(WAIT MOST OF THEM ARENT HERE 😭)

(Thank you for the 50%)

I love Ramb… I love him so much. I shed a tear for him. Multiple even.

Ramb come home please

ANYWAYS first time drawing Kris since like… elementary. 💔 Wild to think about, I hate it actually‼️

There’s like… 4 more drawings but I can’t ADD them (I’d kill two of these drawings but the 4 pictures related to each other so hfjtjudhc)

There’s a single Elnina… I was gonna draw Lanino (and more of them in general) but I got hungry and tired so I ate him and took a nap/hj

Speaking of nap, I’m going to NOT do that and draw more Ramb

[unikhroma]

yesterday i noticed that in one of the swatchlings' bits of dialogue, they mention that the mansion used to be a home for upper-class citizens:

which to me suggests that that's no longer the purpose of the mansion, and that made me think of the possibility of swatch and the swatchlings being in the mansion before queen*. the same swatchling was definitely around at the time it Was for upper-class citizens since they also mention spamton and his habits when he still lived there

i guess they were all still butlers, but for many darkners rather than just queen. the rooms are now used for lightners instead of darkners now that it's been repurposed. i feel like that's probably the silver lining for swatch and the swatchlings despite having to now take orders from queen, since they're all very dedicated to their role as darkners

cap'n also chimes in with "until queen came around" when scc talks about themselves, which i think is a decent confirmation that queen wasn't always around in cyber world generally speaking either

*it also suggests that all of the upper-class citizens who once lived there had to be evicted at some point, which would make more sense as to how any of the addisons knew what day spamton was getting evicted since it may have made the news

[twist-is-not-sane-lol]

Since so many people have a fanmade weird route variant, might as well join.

It's called SugarSong/Forced Friendship.

It's a K_K-centric route because I like tormenting my comfort characters. SCC are siblings in this AU.

To start the route, Ignore every NPC except K_K. You don't have to buy his CD bagels, you just aren't allowed to buy them from Cap'n. You can't talk to anyone who isn't K_K, so ignore the other NPCs as well, You MUST talk to K_K every time you see him. Next, when you get to the battle, have Susie constantly use rude buster on both Sweet and Cap'n. Doing this about 4 times(2 on each) will end the battle, causing this interaction:

Sweet: "I don't feel to good..."

Cap'n: "Same here man, battles done."

K_K: "Oh no! Yes, let's go home!"

Once this happens, continue as normal(Without talking to NPCs. Scripted events don't affect this.) up until you reach Sweet Cap'n Cakes shop. Enter the shop. Everything is normal aside from the fact that the Auto Axe is replaced with a new item, the DigiScarf(They don't wanna sell an Axe to a girl who beat them up with one not to long ago.). Go to the talk section and click on the new dialogue option simply labeled "Cakes," Although dialogue implys that Kris is saying "K_K is my favorite." K_K reacts very positively towards this, thanking Kris while beaming. Sweet and Cap'n, despite seeming a bit jealous, simply talk about how K_K is pretty cool, not pushing any further. Leave. afterwards everything will continue as normal until you fall into the garbage dump. There you see K_K humming a quiet tune to themself and smiling. Talking to him, he will mention how he decided to go for a walk, but now he's a little lost. Ralsei will invite him to stick with the $!$! squad(Or whatever name you picked for your team in chapter 1, I just used that because picked it.), to which K_K agrees, as he likes how kind Kris was to them back in the field. K_K will always appear in the garbage dump, but will decline the offer if you didn't follow the exact instructions. Once K_K is in your party, he gets unique dialogue when interacting certain things. Such as laughing when you interact with the Egg plant that looks like a trash bag, feeling bad for trashy when Susie and Ralsei ignore him, and stuttering when meeting Nubert(He's starstruck OK?), Etc. When Susie and Ralsei leave, K_K stays behind. "Don't worry! I'll stay! We're friends, aren't we?:)"

Some important battle info:

Default Armor: Golden Bracelet

Default Weapon: NewCD

K_K has multiple spells:

K-Action: How K_K ACTs by himself, like with all Characters. Does not cost TP.

SilkMilk: Heals the entire party. costs 16% TP, 8% with BrokenCD

RockABye: Puts TIRED enemies to sleep, similar to Pacify & SleepMist. Costs 50% TP, 25% with BrokenCD

TastyBeats: K_K's equivalent of IceShock, killing/paralyzing enemies using powerful sound waves. costs 16% TP, 8% with BrokenCD.

SugarSong: K_K's Equivalent of Snowgrave . Fatal towards target, Causes user immense physical pain while being used. Costs 200% TP, 100% with BrokenCD.

Anyways, Now that we've heard that, let's continue with the route.

Continue with K_K, using TastyBeats to kill enemies. During this, K_K's smile seems to falter. After killing 10 enemies, K_K asks Kris a question

"...Why are we doing this again?"

After the question, you are given 2 responses. "Self Defense" & "We're friends, Right?" You must click the second one to progress through the route. Upon asking that, K_K says yes, and you are given 2 more choices. "I thought so" & "Friends do what friends want." You must click the second option once again. K_K look hesitant, but agrees. The only friends he ever had were his brothers, and they always listened to him. Surely it's a normal thing. Surely friends always listen to each other. Continue killing enemies until you reach the Addison from Snowgrave. They'll mention how they have a great gift for a pair of friends. This is the CentreCD. It will always be $1 more than the party has. Consistently pressure K_K into stealing it, until he stops protesting. The screen blacks out and you get the flavor text "the music sounds uneasy." shows on screen. When the screen lights up, the CentreCD is in the inventory and the Addison is gone. The front of the shop looks like it had been burnt. K_K looks uneasy, and when the CentreCD is equipped, he's silent. Continue through the route like normal, killing all enemies you encounter. K_K is no longer smiling and walking a lot slower. His battle sprite is now almost completely still and he rarely talks. Upon killing enough enemies, walk back. The boxes where Sweet Cap'n Cakes are in the normal game is replaced by an empty room with a broken CD. Equipping this for K_K will lower his HP down to 55 and he responds will a verbal "Ow" and an uncomfortable buzzing sound. Then walk back, killing every enemy you may have missed until you get to the room where the Berdly encounter would normally happen. This time however, it's Cap'n and Sweet. The beginning of the encounter goes something like this:

Cap'n: "K_K! There you are!"

Sweet: "We've been lookin' all over for man! We need to get home.

Cap'n: "Yeah, some psycho is going 'round and killin' everyone!"

K_K: "..."

Sweet: "Hey, uhm, everything alright man?"

Kris/Player: "Friends do what Friends want."

K_K: "...What?..."

The player repeats the sentence, with K_K becoming more shaken and desperate each time. Eventually Sweet and Cap'n butt in.

Sweet: "Look... We don't know what's going on but,"

Cap'n: "No one, messes with K_K like that."

Afterwards, a battle starts, with K_K becoming panicked. Like in regular Snowgrave, you need to max out your TP to use their new ability, SugarSong. K_K will not do anything during the battle. Not listening to anyone. He's in too much pain from the CD and too much distress with the current situation. Once your TP is maxed out, click on it. K_K will look at the ground in distress. The interaction goes like this.

SugarSong

"What?..."

SugarSong

"...N-No, not them..."

SugarSong

"I don't wanna hurt them..."

SugarSong

"..."

SugarSong

"..."

Friends do what Friends want.

K_K looks at the ground, before casting the spell. The Screen blacks out and the Flavor text reads "And suddenly, there was silence."

When you can see again, Sweet and Cap'n are nothing but piles of scrap metal and K_K is down(Reread the description of SugarSong). Interacting with K_K says "Put the scrap away?" You must select yes. The screen fades out and back in, now with K_K gone. Checking your items shows an unnamed object with the description "A friend. Fast asleep."

The rest of the route continues like a normal route, mainly due to the fact that there's no reason for any major changes. A few lines will be different but most things stay the same.

In the lightworld, there is a cassette player and speaker lying on the ground. interacting with them says "Broken beyond repair."

Back in castle town, Sweet Cap'n Cakes place won't be there, for obvious reason's, but entering Kris' room, K_K will be curled up in the corner, asleep. Interacting with him says "Goodnight Scrap friend"

[the-meme-monarch]

Do you ever think darkners fear about being taken from their homes and separated from their families/friends/connections? Like how queen was supposedly separated from her family? All this to say would that be something scc worried about? I can imagine k_k lowk being a little grateful to be in castletown where, at least to my understanding, they couldn't be taken out of since it's pure darkness in that closet. sorry if this sounds incomprehensible I've just been thinking about that concept a bit

i don’t think i know of a line about queen being separated from her family :’0c !

but yeah no it’s horrifying to me. at the very least when it’s lightners interacting with light world objects there seems to be like. a correlation to what happened to the darkner that isn’t presented as ‘a lightner did this’. queen met spades king bc I Like To Think she used to be the teacher’s laptop in the pre-abandoned classroom. spamton and queen met tenna bc kris borrowed the laptop from the library to bring home, and that laptop had a spam email in its inbox. spamton ‘abandoning’ tenna could be from kris just having to return the laptop back to the library. spamton got kicked out of the mansion and ended up in the trash zone bc someone printed off that spam email and threw it away, but for the most part these things haven’t been presented as being a lightner’s fault (tenna does say ‘I wish they never brought that laptop home’, and the pippins/ramb acknowledge that kris stole them, but) it seems to me at least they just see it as How Their Life Went. they certainly Acknowledge lightners and their impacts of their lives, like queen and spades king about their searches/their abandoning of them. idk I don’t think we know how darkners Perceive lightners/their actions when there’s no fountain open(to look at them face to face like we see in-game, with the fountains open) other than ‘like gods’ as seam described. but at the very least spamton doesn’t seem to acknowledge what happened to him as being lightners faults, it’s just presented as his life story. i imagine it’s usually something they don’t even realize was Because a lightner did something. this is why i’m atheist bc if i started believing in a god or that my life was dictated by someone else in any capacity I’d turn into a secret boss in real life. and this is just normal for darkners. that is Unquestionably and Unwaveringly their reality. it’s fucked !

anyway I’ve been thinking lately that sweet and cap’n didn’t used to live with kk :]c that was a recent development. I’ve been thinking maybe they used to live in the library dark world and it sucked bc well. they didn’t really fit in. and one day in the light world they got moved to the computer lab, where you’re allowed to play music as loud as you want :] and their cool older brother had already moved there(got moved there)

but yeah i think. most darkners are afraid for their own mortality. especially things like electronics that can break down and just stop working. things that outlive their usefulness. I think they’re aware that lightners have an impact on their lives but I’m not sure they know the minutiae of it

Little P from The Dancing Cat in San Jose, California

Click here for more information about adoption and other ways to help!

Click here for a sweet video of Little P!

Little P might look a little different, but he's just a diamond the the rough. He is a low-key, mellow cat who enjoys lounging and being brushed. He's not a very active cat, at least in his foster home, so he might be a wonderful couch potato! 

You may not know this, but it's quite dangerous for white cats to be outdoors because sunburn can lead to cancer. Unfortunately, that's what happened to Little P: he needed his ears amputated because of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), a common form of skin cancer.

Little P has a small area of pre-cancerous SCC on his nose that looks like a little scab. We're keeping an eye on this spot and so far it's healing well.

Given Little P's medical history, his expected lifespan will likely be shortened. In the meantime, he has a lot of love to give and would enjoy having a home to call his own.

I AM SO OBSESSED W SCC RAFE YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!! could you write something about scc reader overheard someone saying that rafe is cheating? maybe they said rafe was checking someone else out. and scc just assumed it was right and swallowed it because she never questions rafe but he noticed she’s putting up distance between them and the kids also noticed then how would he react? I LOVE ME SOME GOOD ANGST

cw: mentions of cheating but it’s not true also use of the word “bitch” by rafe

you weren’t even supposed to hear it.

just passing by — holding your baby’s bottle in one hand, laundry basket tucked against your hip — when you heard it. rafe’s name. a hushed laugh. something like, “he was totally looking at her ass.”

you froze.

you didn’t ask. you didn’t say anything. you just swallowed it down. like everything else.

because you never ask rafe questions like that. you never pry. never accuse. and if he was? what would you even do?

so you just… started pulling back. gently. subtly.

you didn’t sit close on the couch that night. didn’t text him during the day like you usually do. didn’t even say anything when he came home late again. just smiled a little. nodded. said “okay.”

but he noticed. immediately.

“what’s with you?”

you shook your head. “nothing.”

“you’re actin’ different.”

you waved him off. “i’m fine, rafe. really.”

and the kids noticed too. especially your daughter — perched on the arm of the couch while you fed her baby brother, frowning as she whispered, “mommy, why didn’t you wait for daddy to come home tonight?”

rafe hears her. his jaw sets.

he doesn’t say anything right away. but his eyes don’t leave you.

and eventually—when you’re folding towels in the bedroom, trying to keep it together—he steps in, shuts the door behind him, and says, low and sharp,

“what the fuck did you hear?”

you blink. flinch. try to shake your head again, but he’s already walking toward you.

“you’ve been off all week. won’t even look at me. won’t touch me. won’t let me near you. so tell me what the fuck happened.”

“…someone said you were looking at another woman.”

you say it so quietly. like it hurts to admit. like you already convinced yourself it was true.

and that pisses him off.

“you think i’d cheat on you?”

“…i don’t know.”

“you think i’d throw away all of this for some random bitch at the bar?”

you look down. your throat feels tight.

and his voice drops—less angry now, more sharp and hurt.

“so that’s all it takes? some nobody says somethin’ and now you don’t trust me?”

you whisper, “i didn’t want it to be true.”

and that’s what stops him.

because your voice cracks on want, and your hands are shaking as you fold the last towel, and he can see it now—how scared you are to even ask him if it was true.

he exhales through his nose. jaw clenched.

and then he’s pulling the towel out of your hands, tossing it on the bed, dragging you into his arms. wrapping you up even when you go stiff.

“if i wanted someone else, i wouldn’t have married you.”

he grips your chin, makes you look up.

“don’t you ever let someone get in your head like that again. you hear me?”

you nod. still a little unsure. still holding back.

but when he kisses you — slow and firm and low against your lips — you feel your knees go soft again.

untitled clyde oneshot

SCC backstory 1

It wasn't often he visited home. Why would he? All he cared for was taking pretty Jenny out on dates now and then - he'd much rather spend time with that woman than the little parasite that'd follow her around like a leech she couldn't shake to the two of them. Jenny'd rather spend time with her new, loaded, scruffy boyfriend than that pest of a seven-year-old, too. Hell, have it her way, she would've thrown him away the same way she threw away her ex-husband. But it's all too late now, and it's not like she minds the surplus of money she gets from that childcare program. At least he was good for something, right?

Either way, when her boyfriend eventually came over, it's not like he ever got to leave his room. And being a broken family of two living through the 1930s, he didn't have much more to entertain himself than the collection of raindrops at the windowsill, pouring down one by one to create such a divine, effortlessly beautiful puddle. At least, that's how his optimistic, childish brain viewed it. If you'd ask Jenny, she'd tell you quite the opposite - complaining about her rickety floorboards and too-loose windows that the water of every spring shower never failed to seep through. In his mind, it was a blessing. Every time the rain ended and the spring heat cast over their little three-room house shed, it meant the same black-and-brown furred, calico cat limp on over to nibble on the food he always played out for her. It always came over in the same unkempt style, hair soaked and sticking out in a multitude of different directions. He didn't mind. Every time she came to him like this, injured and unfed, he'd sneak her the leftovers of his reheated yet moist meal and run his fingers through her fur repeatedly until it was all straightened out and neat. Every other week, she'd come back in this same filthy, weak condition, and every other week, he'd make sure she was all cleansed and full.

The cat didn't have a name, a collar, and, obviously, no home, being a stray. And as much as he loved being open and honest with his oh-so-'loving' mother, he knew she'd probably shoot the poor thing if she ever found out about it. She'd reload the gun meant for a deer-hunting season and that'd be that. So he was forced to keep it a secret; even his dumb, foolish, too-trusting child-brain knew that much. And, if the cat ever came back with rabies, he might decide to die along with it because he loved that stray as if it were his own.

So, as the rain fell, he spent every last drop thinking about the precious furball. He had a broad smile, the same stupid smile he'd always worn.

That must have been why he held his gentle, subtle frown when it didn't show up the day after rainy weather. Nor did it come back the next day, or any day after that - in his head, the cat got rescued by a family that'd love her in ways he couldn't, one with more money, better food, and shelter. That's all he wanted for her - he wished it would've spared him a goodbye so he could hug it one last time.

He wasn't the type of kid to cry, being the happy-go-lucky, optimistic child he was. But he couldn't help himself, back pressed against his door and knees held up to his stomach as he listened into his mother's conversation with her new boyfriend in the living room, complaining about this rodent that 'attacked' her when she was walking back home. He was young but mature enough to understand the implications of her words.

more of my funny little deltarune OCS

Chapter 2 added so many different funny species(?)

Wen is an Ambyu-Lance who isn't very good at fighting and as such has just taken up running a cheap walk in clinic which gets transferred over to castle town after the fountain is sealed. They will actually accept things other than money as payment such as items. They will even work for free if they know their patient has nothing. This is the type of person who would manage to give spamton a bit of medical care by pretending to get ripped off by being paid in s.poison.

Forx is a plug boy and one of Wen's partners. She works a few different jobs as she doesn't really know what she wants to do other than supporting her partners. Forx does sometimes get annoyed by Wen's generosity but overall loves them for it. Forx also has a similar gag to sans where she is just everywhere with multiple jobs. The funny logic behind this is that electricity is really fast.

Knave is a werewire and the most alt fashion bitch I can make up in my head. It's a willing werewire but doesn't want to become a werewerewire because it prefers the colors of it's current form. Knave is the third member of Wen and Forx's polycule. It loves cuddling with it's partners though it's very worried about accidentally wrapping it's wire around them. It also is kind of a guard dog for the clinic. Desperate thieves are a bit common. It takes great comfort in that no one knows how it looked as a plug boy.

Vul is a virovirokun. My headcannon is that if a virovirokun gets proper treatment they stop being contagious unless they purposely infect someone. Vul is just some incredibly anxious chronically ill person. They get most of their treatment at Wen's clinic because they weren't exactly successful at getting money as a ransomware virus. Vul is basically a badly made script kiddie virus. Wen and their polycule have kinda adopted them.

more stuff under the cut about cannon character interactions and interactions with my other deltarune ocs

Wen lives with Forx and Knave. The three are in a very cute polycule.

They eventually end up taking in Dekyll, Throne and Kata and act as sorta parent/uncle figures.

This started because Wen runs a small clinic out of their home and ended up having Dekyll, Throne & Kata there for longer than other patients.

Dekyll was there because it needed physical therapy and treatment for injuries that had healed badly.

Throne was at first there because they didn't have a home and the clinic offered food but eventually had to stay for mental health treatment due to being a danger to themselves.

Kata was in recovery for many long lasting injuries and getting physical therapy as well as chronic pain treatment.

And because I really like Jevil, Spamton and Sweet Cap'n Cakes they also stay here sometimes.

Jevil only stays at the house/clinic sometimes. He enjoys cheering up patients & is kind of a therapy dog.

Spamton is a more permanent resident. He was homeless for a while in castletown as he didn't know what to do when he woke up there. He had more malnourishment issues as he didn't know all the best places to scavenge like he did in cyber city. Eventually Wen happens to find him passed out from hunger and thus the long road of treating malnutrition and starvation begins. Spamton has also been involuntarily kept at the clinic a few times due to being a danger to both himself and others

SCC mainly live at their shop thingy but all of them are frequent guests

Sweet is often there because they're a bit clumsy & need to be patched up. This eventually leads to a pretty good relationship with Wen and the others

Cap'n is mainly friends with Forx because of the Rebel Plug boy introducing them. The pair enjoy engineering and welding. Forx is a little bit of a therapist to Cap'n.

K_K is here because honk was really curious about Kata, after all Kata used to be part of a car. Unfortunately this initial interaction didn't go well but Knave was able to help. Eventually K_K looks up to Knave as they're an older person who has more experience with low empathy than K_K and can give advice.

| Reasons why I like SCC |

Starting this off with an explanation before anyone has the chance to say anything. Feel free to read these links explaining the trio's canon (or lack there of) relationship. (As of today's date, [07,01,2023). - Explanation from Nelnal (SCC character designer) - Explanation 1 | Explanation 2 With that out of the way, let's get going! First off, this is a hodgepodge of things from canon (gameplay), and things from Nelnal, plus my own perception of the trio. So, be warned in that regard!

1 | The Backstory for Their Creation: - I just find the fact that Toby originally wanted one shopkeeper and instead went with three because he loved them all so endearing. It's just genuinely such a cool and eat fact. I love that in another universe, there's only one… And we're the lucky universe that gets to have all~ three! - Quoted from Nintendo Everything, "I actually have another story about the musical shopkeepers. I asked a designer I love to design a musical enemy, and they gave me three samples. I liked all three of them, so I couldn’t settle on just one… so that’s how those three came to be" (Brian, 2021).

2 | They Robots: - I like robots. That is all I can say. Next. 3 | One of Them Green: - I like the color green. This is all. Next. 4 | Nakayoshi: - As seen in Nelnal's reference page, the word "なかよし" (nakayoshi) is written! This word translates to good friends, intimate friends, etc. I find this just really adorable. That the three are just the best of buddies. Inseparable pals. It's something that I hold dear to me. They just… auaughh… I love friendship. I love them. I love them being besties and so close that they go everywhere together, that they started a rebel band together. TOGETHER!! AUGH!! FRIENDSHIP!!! This also just makes me think of me and my qpp… We kiss and hug and go on dates… We say "I love you" and try to talk as much as we can. When we're together, it's like being home, being with someone who cares for me. And I can't help but look at SCC and see a QPR like that. Not romantic, not strictly platonic. Just… queer. And I love that so much.

5 | Tropes: - SCC have a lot of personality and physical traits that just match some of my favorite tropes ever. Height difference, opposites attract, friends to lovers, etc. You understand what I mean. It's just so cool that all my favorite tropes are bound up in this music trio! Like, how uber lucky?! 6 | Designs: - The way SCC are designed is just very appealing to look at. The spingly-spoingly arms of K_K… The oblong head of Cap'n's. And Sweet is. Cube. I just love how shaped they are! (The object heads are shaped)!! YAHOO!! Cakes is rectangular… Sweet is cubular… Cap'n is football. (You understand). I wish I could word this better, but in all honesty all I can say is I love how they look. They look so cool and robotic and I love robots, so ofc I love them. And I am probably one of the few that love that their teeth are buttons… 7 | Dialogue: - I really like how the dialogue in the game follows the band name. Sweet talks, then Cap'n, then (sometimes) Cakes. Plus! Sweet and Cap'n finish each other's sentences in the game all the time! I'm also really appreciative of just how much Sweet talks. If my mutuals and I did the math right… Sweet's dialogue takes up 36.5% of the overall dialogue for SCC. (Cap'n being 35.6% and Cakes talking 27.9% of the time). Plus, their hello/goodbye is so adorable. I quote this to myself all the time. Yo! What's up? Hey! See ya! Smell ya! Hear ya! 8 | SCC Color Scheme: - Depending on what color you see them as… I kinda go back and forth w/ Sweet between yellow and purple. But Cap'n's blue and Cakes is green, obviously. And if you see Sweet as yellow… yellow and blue make green. Kinda how Cakes looks up to Sweet and Cap'n. I know I'm reaching for this one, but this is my post about things I like, so this stays lmao.
