Like little memory chambers in the brain. It's a marvelous pattern.

[edwinisms]

crystal palace surname von hoverkraft is a mean girl. and an empath. she’s toxic. she’s the most caring and empowering person on earth. she’s a skeptic. she’s a mystic who can see ghosts and read minds. she can and will have someone hit you with their car if you’re an asshole. she’s a high school dropout. she’s made out with at least two different supernatural entities. she probably knows paris hilton personally. she went missing under mysterious circumstances. she shoplifts for fun. she’s on pretty good terms with an ancient goddess. but above all else, she’s bisexual

actually i want us to go further than just “not hating on crystal because she gets in the way of charles and edwin”. i’d like us to actually talk about her and appreciate how wry and funny and strong she is and the way she threw away returning to her old life to save her friends and all the great moments she has in the show!! i’d like us to appreciate her as an integral part of the story and the cast of characters!

I was just thinking that, if we do actually get amnesiac Jay, him eventually getting his memories back could be really interesting. Because obviously you’ve got all the great memories with his family and the people he loves, but at the same time just— the horrors. The guy has so much trauma piled up from over the years and I feel like that would be A Lot to have dumped on you all at once.

shoutout to all the girls and gays that have had a platonic friend say something totally not platonic to you several times yet not totally reciprocate feelings for you and have been in edwin's place before. i feel you. i'm raising a glass for you.

i have seen lots and lots of posts about what people want out of payneland in season 2 and that is all good. so there's no use restating any of that because i agree with quite a bit of it and theres like a dozen or more posts about it. but here's something i want out of season 2:

to see crystal dealing with the remains of her life before she lost her memories. specifically, i want to see how she handles the relationships with her friends from before... do they become deeper now that she's had time to learn and grow? or does she, in trying to repair her old relationships, realize that all her friendships were just as shallow and empty as she was before losing her memories? does she make new human friends over the course of whatever season 2's plot will be? have her old friends even cared that she was gone? did she leave behind other ghost friends, like emma?

there is SO MUCH POTENTIAL for crystal's story now that she has her memories back and is back in london and i want to see it ALL.

how different do you think things would be in the storyline if it were to actually follow canon? as in acht/ahato knowing marina and whatnot

LOL I DONT KNOWWW ;u;

14 crush is so off base that i think itd be like a different plot entirely if it actually reflected canon. that's why around when splatoon 3 was getting close to launch, i could see the signs, and i was like. Ok crush is in stasis forever so i dont have to change anything about it no matter what happens HAHAH

i have different agent OCs these days that arent as bound to a specific story so they can be a little more flexible with canon. also they're just more in line with the kinds of OCs i make now compared to when i was a teenager ... i talk about them on main sometimes you might see em around. these ones have actual names!! crazy

(this art is kinda out of date though... i rly do need to make actual ref art thats not chibi... lol...)

Tumblr decided it didn't want to upload these first time so here we go again

Woah. Can't believe pride month is almost over already here's some shitty memes

[that-ineffable-devil]

The Washer Woman told Crystal to "stop looking without and look within" because Crystal said "I need to know who I am" not "I need to know who I was."

Crystal was never the sum of her memories. She was always so much more.

do you think crystal would remember if she had any allergies? like i know she could remember part of her name and what kind of movies she watched, but what about possible allergies? she has no way of knowing what memories david stole from her, he could have taken anything.

idk im just imagining shes with niko and is offered like a pb&j or something and she hesitates for a second, not knowing if she should take it
