I think I've said a couple times that seeing too much radiosilence angst made me want a fluffier qpr version, but tbh I still want all of the angst; it just needs to be framed as eventually leading to a happy ending.
alastor and vox hating each other is thematically inevitable. I am in love with the fake enemies trope; I tried playing around with that, but there is no universe where these characters are remotely close to canon and actually like each other lmao. I think it needs to be more "vox pretends he only hates alastor and alastor pretends he doesn't care about vox but they actually both understand that they really had something and destroyed it because of mutual differences." like, symbolically, it's old vs. new, right? and alastor is good because he values what worked in the past and cares about artistic integrity but bad because he refuses to see progress or accept change; vox is good because he's innovative and ambitious but bad because he's tacky and too profit-driven. that dynamic has way too much potential for us to skip the part where they grow to see the good side of each other's perspectives while keeping their own identities intact.
AUGH the angst would just be too good; vox and alastor kind of being on the same wavelength at first when they weren't too far apart era-wise, alastor not really taking his ambitions seriously and finding them entertaining, vox actually caring at first about making TV as a legitimate creative endeavor and them connecting over a love for entertainment ... but eventually vox gains power, he starts getting distracted by money and takes shortcuts, he stops creating almost completely because it's easier to make contracted souls do it instead. alastor's cute plaything (that maybe was actually interesting to talk to and had good ideas ...) becomes this tacky capitalist that he can't manipulate as easily, so he gets bored of him. vox is so happy when he finally becomes an overlord; alastor is gonna be so proud! only for him to realize that alastor never saw him that way. alastor never actually liked him, did he?
cue them getting mad at each other and starting a feud that is much more comical on the outside than it is privately. vox is still a little confused and very much in pain ... he knows his own flaws but his greed has too much of a hold on him to make him actually change for alastor (vox: I'll do anything! just tell me what to do, what to change, and I will. please just stay. alastor: would you give up your company? power? money? would you stay with *me*? vox: ...). alastor is disappointed and tries to make it seem like he really had no affection for vox, but those memories of drinking together on sunday nights, listening to how excited vox was about a new invention ... maybe, in the very back of his mind, he realizes he misses that. that he feels left behind.

ik we haven't even decided the laws or how exactly the government works yet, but I think our national flower should be the King's lomatia.
it is one of many flowers that reproduce asexually, (heres a reddit thread with a bunch of other ones: https://www.reddit.com/r/botany/comments/18pzbid/are_there_any_plant_species_that_only_reproduce/ )
and it is a flower so it is already aro.
The King's Lomatia is officially the national flower of the AroAce Spec Empire!
Also it looks really pretty-

lays down and makes high pitched noises of distress
Astarion romance confession scene is. BONKERS. exactly what I wanted from a character like this
he literally comes up to you like "hey, um. bad news. I feel like crap because I originally slept with you because I feared being abandoned and seducing you was the only way I knew how to find safety, except I accidentally tripped into love and it turns out that I would like this to be real" and then he confesses that intimacy just makes him hate himself and if you tell him that you care about him he looks scared shitless
THIS IS NOT THE EXPRESSION OF A MAN WHO KNOWS WHAT TO DO WITH BEING TOLD THE PERSON HE JUST LAID HIS SOUL BARE TO ACTUALLY GIVES A SHIT
that's his actual response. "Really?"
YES YOU BITCH THAT'S WHY I TALKED A DEVIL INTO KILLING HIMSELF AND HIS CAT FOR U JESUS COME HERE LET ME HUG U AGAIN
and the the game DOES let you hug him, thank GOD
10/10 I'm gonna reload and replay that scene like 10 times now to get every dialogue variation

HELLO GUESS WHO MADE ART OF THE SILLIES AGAIN?????
i love them so much they’ve infested my brain,,,, I love women, ,,!!!! I’ve been making some sketches over the last couple of week,, some that will be turned into big epic drawings over the next couple of months hehehheh.
thank you @friendlyengie for your epic characters they bring me joy,, 👍👍👍👍👍
YAYYYYYY !!! OLD PEOPLE !! This one has been sitting in the drafts for a little while,, hhhh. I like to think that the medics have entirely grey hair and just,,, dye it. Uh oh It’s the last hair dye box in all of New Mexico ,, they’re having a cowboy standoff thing or whatever you call it
cringe fail loser sapphic at it again. ,,,,, , she horrible o love her ,
woah,, tnnahts a lot of woman. ,,and pupy!!!. Got a little bit obsessed with the acne on Quinn. I have pretty bad acne myself and most people don’t really add it to their characters and stuff,, makes me feel a little sad and ugly. So thank you very much for that!! It makes,me happy 👍👍👍👍👍
when I first saw spy,, I was like. Oh yeah. That’s,, the,,, the, . She friends with orginal spy I think,, . That would be a little silly ,,I think. So that’s my little itty bitty headcannon. They hate each other too but in silly bestie way. B))
Went a little crazy with the weird gay thing,, just a little bit,,,,, just a. Yeah.
WEIRD GAY THING AGAIN ?????!!!! NO Way bro…,, This is a sketch I plan to turn into a finished drawing!! Also I’m so proud of myself the perspective looks very epic B)) Also I think Quinn is the type to sleep without a shirt on but I don’t know if tumblr would like that if I drewed that so she gets shitty tank top instead. They are having sleepover in demos room if you can’t tell
also that fucking bongu post keeps on coming into my brain at the worst possible times ,, like I’ll be having a really serious conversation and the fucking bongu appears and I fucking lose it
FINAL SKETCH!!! This is a very rough sketch of a very epic and cool drawing I plan to finish. If anybody has any suggestions I’d love to hear it!, I am struggling with what to shove into the background. Also fuck yeah the golden spiral babey,, putting those 9th grade art class skills into use B))
This’ll be probably the most intricate art piece I’ve ever made,, wish me luck. I think I managed to fit all 18 mercs in there! Hopefully! I’ll double check later lol.
(Drawings of the mercs by friendlyengie). Me when the women 👁👁
that’s the end of all the drawings!! Thanks very much for looking at them hhh,,,, I did not spend 16 hours on this, you spent 16 hours on this
go follow friendlyengie they make some sick ass drawings,, good food right there babey B)). I hope I was able to kinda characterize them correctly!! I’m not very good at that yet,, but I’m getting better I think!!
Now off to visit your mother. (Study and plan for spring term and clean my room)

Kris being AroAce but being More than a Friend to Susie and Noelle would probably prompt them to come up with a new title for them.
"Platonically Super Bestie For Forever"
"The Bestest Friend"
"Ultimate Super Best Friend"
"Platonic Ultra Friend"
Part way through typing this, I kinda want the title to be shortened to "MOSS"
What would fit that would spell:
M
O
S
S
Most
Outrageous
Super
Soulmate

Sorry I'm late to say this, I just got off of work, but-
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!
And happy Sonic's birthday month, too!
I don't know if I'm planning something big this year or not. Something always seems to go wrong on his birthday.
That was off track- No matter where you come from, your gender or relationship preferences don't define who you are or your worth! Everyone is amazing, from the gays to the zom/zomselves, and everyone in between. Don't be afraid to be yourself! Heh, fearless year of Shadow moment.
Off-topic again, but McDonald's is actually really accepting of LGBT persons! I swear, we're allowed to put pins on our hats, and everyone who actually does it has some form of pride pin or pronoun pin, and it's awesome!

aromantic heart… the one character whose own name is closely associated to love and romance… the one character who’s supposed to deal with the whole, vast spectrum of emotional experiences, yet struggling to fully grapple and relate with the romantic heartbreak suffered by the others…
interesting juxtaposition (plus aspec heart always stays winning!)
