#I might be forgetting some things

[sucka-1]

The 2nd Trump admin so far---simplified edition---

I saw a post on reddit asking what Trump has done so far, but my reply was too long, so I thought it'd be worth adding here instead

Main points are emboldened, sub points/related actions are italicized→

1. Instated tariffs(taxes on companies when they import goods and products from foreign countries into the US) on all countries except for North Korea and Russia. These tariffs have caused markets to plunge and have raised prices greatly for just about all products in the US. The way that works is that, many people have the misconceptions that tariffs are a tax on foreign governments, but that is not the case. They are a tax on companies importing products made in specific foreign countries to the US. These companies, to make up for the loss of money from the tax, raise their product prices---therefore, the buyers, Americans, have to pay 200 more dollars for their iphone that was fabricated in Taiwan, and 10 more for their coffee, the beans that were used to make it being able to be grown almost exclusively in equatorial countries. Raising product prices is also cheaper than bringing their(tariffed companies') manufacturing force back to the US. The tariffs have also been placed on countries with incredibly small populations, such as McDonald island, with a population of 0. There are now fears of a recession, or historic depression, as we are more than likely to lose these trades wars.

Trumps ideas on tariffs are inspired by the books of Peter Navarro(a man who has also worked as an advisor for him), whose main source for the information in his books is Ron Vara, a fake person Navarro created to put into the resource sections of his books so his information would appear as if sourced from a real economist or historian, and not his own head.

2. Created ICE, an organization that raids locations where they suspect illegal immigrants are. These places can include homes, schools, offices, etc. So far, it has deported several people wrongly, such as a Maryland man, who specifically was ruled not to be deported, as he had escaped to the US from South America after being threated by gangs there. It has also defied court orders from judges to return planes carrying immigrants. Trump has also changed laws that allowed many foreigners to enter the country legally for years now, to make it so that, anyone who had entered the country in those ways in the past, are now illegals to be deported. They have also created a point system, where, if an individual gets 8pts, they can be deported, which has lead to the wrong deportation of a gay barber who had two tattoos on either of his arms of crowns, which earned him 4pts each.

These people are not detained or allowed to contact their lawyers when they are taken. They are immediately deported, without due process(The rule of law, for example, getting to speak to lawyers/getting a court hearing/getting thorough investigations or background checks before being deported). It has also been found that ICE has detained people and kept them in their(ICE's) vehicles before drafting the documents for their reason for detaining. Many on the left fear that soon a native American citizen will be racially profiled and deported to country they've never been to. Denying due process for anyone on US soil is illegal and unconstitutional.

3. (somewhat related to ICE)Detained/Inhumanely detained foreign travelers(NON-immigrants) who attempt entering the US legally. For example, an Australian MMA coach and youtuber visiting the US for a seminar who had a slight mistake in his VISA, who was kept in a federal prison directly among actual criminals for 24 hours. Some of the guards spoke to him as if he were a criminal, and he got involved in a fight with an inmate attempting to steal his(the MMA coach's) items. He details the story of his experience on his Instagram account: coachsubotic. Or a French scientist who was detained and denied entry for having messages criticizing Trump on his phone.

and

Detained immigrant young people who have insulted the administration or have openly supported the liberation of Palestine, justice for Palestinian civilians, and end of the genocide(ethnic cleansing/mass murder of a certain people group) of Palestinians. For example, a Turkish woman who travelled to the US to get an education, who was kidnapped off the sidewalk by police officers wearing masks because of a plead in an article written by her, asking the US government to consider divesting(un-investing) in Israel. Her plead was deemed "support for Hamas" and her VISA was revoked without her being notified. She was taken from Massachusetts to Louisiana. At one point, her lawyers had no way of knowing where she was located, and therefore, no idea what jurisdiction she was under for them to make a petition for her VISA to be reapproved. Or a Chinese student who came to the US when she was 7 years old who got her green card revoked for having attended peaceful protests fighting against the expulsion of students who had publicly defended Palestine.

4. Created a crypto-currency rug-pull(also known as coins, meme-coins, or shit-coins) called $TRUMP. Its somewhat complicated to explain what a crypto-currency is from the start, but to put it simply, there things that people can invest their money into, just like stocks, and a rug-pull is when the creator of the crypto-currency 'pulls out', which is a way of stealing all the money that investors invested.

5. Pardoned January 6th, 2021 rioters who broke into and vandalized the capitol building. Many officers were assaulted by rioters that day. The capitol building itself had to undergo heavy repairs. Trump incited this riot because he did not accept the result of the 2020 election and believes it was stolen and fraudulent. Rioting and riot incitation is illegal.

6. Threatened to annex Canada, Greenland, and the Panama canal.

Threatened to annex Canada: This has eroded the relationship of the two most culturally similar and closest allied nations in history. There isn't anything in particular the US would gain from this besides population, land area, and some negligible natural resources such as more snow or plants that probably only in that biome.

Threatened to annex Greenland: This is because Greenland is, despite being enlarged by the common map projection(ways that a spherical globe is broken and stretched to be placed on a rectangular map), a relatively sizeable landmass in a good geo-political location on earth, and, as global warming continues and more parts of Artic Ocean melt away and open up, Russia and the US(Canada rather, though next is us) have a direct northern route to each other. Because of this, Trump wants to annex Greenland, a Danish territory currently seeking sovereignty(independence). Typically, countries would just place military bases in a sovereign point of interest like this (for example, all the US military bases in the Philippines, Japan, and just about every country surrounding Eastern China) so it is atypical to imperialize in the Contemporary era for this reason.

The Panama canal has been taken. The background to this is imperial desire is that originally, the US helped Panama gain independence from Colombia in the early 1900's specifically to build the Panama canal.

This(alongside the trade wars) has caused almost all countries on Earth to lose a centuries worth of trust we had earned, and eroded American hegemony(dominance/significance in the world).

7. Not attended the transfer of the bodies of four American soldiers(Dignified transfer) who died during training in Lithuania back to the US. Presidents typically attend dignified transfers as a way of honoring the men who have fallen for the sake of the country.

8. Banned Trans people from participating in the military and asked for anyone experiencing gender dysphoria(dissatisfaction with ones own gender at birth and belief that ones gender at birth, also known as biological sex, is not the same as their gender, or gender expression) to leave. This means trans Americans will no longer get the chance to serve their country or gain the military benefits that every other able-bodied American can if they so choose.

9. Discussed a 3rd Presidential term multiple times. Serving more than 2 presidential terms is illegal and unconstitutional.

10. Ruled that there are only two genders in the United States, that women are females, and that females are "person[s] belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell" and men are males, and males are "person[s] belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell". This means that everyone in the United States is Agender(Genderless) as no human being has either large or small reproductive cells at conception(though, people often make the joke that 'everyone is female' as the tissue there looks akin to a female reproductive cell early on).

11. Changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to 'The Gulf of America', and the name of Mt. Diwali(The name the native peoples gave it, and that we've recognized as a way of respecting them) to 'Mt. McKinley.'

12. Allowed a civilian without clearance to enter official meetings. Allowed a civilian who was not approved by Congress to handle a government department. This civilian stayed in the country illegally, defying the constraints of his VISA, and is therefore an illegal immigrant. This civilian has about 500 billion dollars in his bank account.

13. (Adjacent, but significant)DOGE(Department of Government Efficiency):

One of the first things they did was fire hundreds of FAA(Federal Aviation Administration) employees, who keep planes in the air and organized. There has now been an uptick in plane close calls and mishaps, such as a plane flipping and landing upside-down. They have also defunded the national parks, which bring in magnitudes more than the amount that is spent on them. They have also defunded science research, such as research for curing cancer and making cancer aid more efficient. They also made cuts to social security(tax money allocated to aid Americans in their old age).

Hundreds of employees from other departments and gov. funded sectors have also been fired, re-hired, and paid for their time away, meaning a loss of thousands of peoples worth of money for time where they were not allowed to work, therefore, money was spent on work that that was not done, and unnecessarily not allowed to have been done.

14. Allowed Bibles to be required to be present in all classrooms and effectively rendered the point of public schooling void, as public schools exist specifically to be inclusive to all students and not encourage only one identity. So far, this is only the case in Oklahoma, but the fed has yet to declare it unconstitutional and force the requirement to be dissolved. This defies one of the founding American principles of separating church and state. It is illegal and unconstitutional to involve the church with the state.

15. Removed DEI(Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) laws, which have historically existed to fight against discrimination, primarily racial(intentional and unconscious racial biases), in the job hiring process, and to fight against discrimination in the work place. Often before DEI, people with high merits and achievements were not hired due to conscious or unconscious racial biases. This means those racial, among other biases, will begin affecting people searching for employment once again.

16. Taken down government website pages of significant historical American figures who are minorities, such as famous baseball player Jackie Robinson. They have also taken down the Spanish version of the white house site.

17. Made voting and updating social security more difficult for the disabled. Now people, including the elderly and disabled(for example, an elderly man who DOGE employees decided was dead who had to drive a long distance to reassure that he was alive,) have to travel to voting offices and social security offices to vote and make sure their social security is intact.

Many of these laws have directly been caused by Trump using executive orders, which have yet to be deemed as going beyond his executive power or not. A loophole in the Constitution is that, there are no constitutional enforcements of judges orders, therefore the things judges deem only follow through if people in the government recognize it, which is why nothing has occurred to Trump or his appointees for the mentioned crimes, pre 2nd admin crimes, pre 1st admin crimes, and the following crimes.

---Adjacent---

1. Hegseth(one of the people Trump appointed) created a group chat on a non government messaging site called 'Signal' and discussed classified information with other high government individuals. We know this because he accidentally added a reporter, Jeffrey Goldberg, to the group. Only government messaging sites are allowed for classified messaging. He was also recently found to be doing classified messaging on Gmail. Insecure messaging such as these, especially google, can be hacked or accessed by foreign intelligence. Classified messaging on non-government channels is illegal.

2. His wife has a rug-pull of her own as well, $MELANIA.

3. Elon Musk(one of the people trump approved, who was not appointed by Congress) raised a sieg heil(a hand signal, where the arm is raised forward, pointing straight, at an angle. The hand signal supports the Third Reich, also known as Nazi Germany). The hand sign is debated to be intentional or accidental. He has also been supporting AfD, a neo-Nazi party in Germany that is essentially revising history and downplaying the Holocaust.

4. R.F.K(one of the people Trump appointed) has indirectly caused the first measles death in the US since 2015 with his anti-vaccine rhetoric.

I watched M27!! it was fun so here's some thoughts

[crabussy]

dude. my life fucking rules. feathered velociraptor shleich figurine for $2 at the op shop. captain of one of my favourite ferries complimented my shirt TWICE (and we are now introduced!). new friend waved me over to sit next to her in a lecture. found a way to make my pony collection even more enjoyable. sky was so beautiful it was a crazy pale blue and there were cirrus clouds catching the sun. the ocean looked like molten green glass. I'm going swimming in the sea and having lunch with a few friends in a weeks time. I've earned 500 dollars this week just from my art which is a milestone I didn't expect to hit without joining a company. I'm not feeling as fatigued as usual. it rained in the morning which was really lovely. I thought I was going to be super late for uni but I made it right on time. I'm kind of in love with the world today

[monsterbisexual]

[sunlight-shunlight]

pondering that falon'din is associated with an owl, and those are also messengers of andruil. and he's referred to as "winged death" which is also mentioned to be something that elgar'nan deploys against enemies. and both falon'din and andruil are referred to as venturing into dark places, where no one else can survive/wanted to go.

and ghilan'nain was not initially an evanuris, but was antagonistic towards them and making a bunch of weird creatures. she was given the offer to join them in return for getting rid of the creatures, and accepted. but with "pride stopping her hand" from destroying a few. and when asked about trusting people to share power, solas says "I know that mistake well enough to carve the angles of her face from memory."

solas also has nothing good at all to say about falon'din, mostly calling him a bloodthirsty tyrant who went so far in encroaching onto other evanuris territory that mythal had to besiege his temple and beat him up to stop him.

but he says nothing about dirthamen at all.

dirthamen is described as having gone missing unexpectedly, scaring all his followers, because they were now unprotected. and caught between their own high priest wanting to lock them into the temple forever like a cask of amontillado, and other forces outside that wanted to take their secrets by force. there is one note that a dirthamen follower defied the evanuris and took on a forbidden (probably a dragon) type of form, and was judged by elgar'nan harshly. he apparently also invented the varterral to protect his town from a high dragon? wack, but also could indicate that he had worked with ghilan'nain on making it, since she's the only one who's otherwise mentioned to be bioengineering stuff.

dirthamen has very very few surviving statues or depictions, and is more associated with falon'din than as his own independent figure in the dalish myths. even his own temple includes mosaics of falon'din. there's a few statues that are probably dirthamen, but the most striking is in mythal's section of the fade behind the eluvian, which is a statue of a hooded figure, doubled over with a giant sword sticking out of his back.

giving my ava design some colors finally :)

[white-hole-station]

It is and has always been one of the wildest and most appreciated things about this game to me, the way it just installed a mental framework in me for accepting the unacceptable.

Anything and everything you've ever known is going to die. That is the starting, baseline premise of the story. Which means that anything you do in it - any hours of fun, any laughs, any exploration, any beauty, is done with the constant reminder of that utter finality in the background, spaced 22 minutes apart. Done with, in between, and in spite of that.

It doesn't need to matter to be worth it. It doesn't need to not be about to die in fire to still be beauty.

Several dozen hours of that, set to music that starts playing in my mind whenever I could most make use of the reminder, is the gift this game gives me for times when everything feels lost. It amazes me, as it always does, just how powerful of a thing shared between humanity a story can be.

#23.2 Teases

Dan sighed wistfully. He couldn't help but feel jealous as he witnessed the couple kissing.

It must be great to be Grace. He was attractive, rich, powerful, talented, and respected. He had everything every person in the tower could ever wish to have. So it should come as no surprise that even Princess Endorsi would want him.

But despite all that, Dan didn’t want to be in Grace's shoes. Power and fame came with a price, and he knew how hard Grace had to work for it.

Maybe he wasn't actually jealous of Grace's charm. He was just not willing to let his goddess, Princess Endorsi, pick anyone else as her partner.

Dan let the realization sink in, sulking while chewing on another spoonful of meat curry. Gyetang must've felt even sadder than him, considering that his reason to join their team was to meet Princess Endorsi.

"What happened?" the guy in a tracksuit –Sibisu, if he remembered correctly– asked, as he and the others took a seat.

"Princess…" Hatz trailed off. "She used her tag to 'talk' with Grace. And when they returned, Grace had a kiss mark on his cheek."

That was a surprisingly objective summary.

"You know, I realized something after kissing him." Boss commented. He was looking at Princess Endorsi mirthfully. "The kiss mark on his cheek earlier was tilted in an odd way."

Princess Endorsi raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Boss waited a few beats. Then he shrugged. "Never mind. I was simply sharing my thoughts."

Princess Endorsi gave him a long stare, before her eyes lit up in realization. She chuckled, "How observant."

Dan could only sit there. At least he wasn't the only one that was confused. After all, he didn't really pay attention to the mark position before Grace wiped it out, so he didn't know what kind of odd that Boss meant.

"Woah! Bam–"

The Khun guy whisper-shouted, loud enough to pull Dan out of his thoughts.

"–You learned how to use chopsticks?" 

Khun looked pleasantly surprised, and it kind of baffled Dan. He didn't think anyone, especially from the Khun family, could be impressed by such a mere act.

Viole grinned sheepishly. "Yeah. I've wanted to learn it ever since you showed me how."

The smile that crept up on Khun's lips was genuine and fond. It was a familiar expression, one that Dan often saw Boss wearing when he looked at Grace.

He noticed that everyone was also looking at Khun and Viole, as the conversation around died down. Hatsu coughed, and Princess Endorsi rolled her eyes.

Khun, noticing this, glared at everyone. "What?"

Sibisu waved his hand dismissively, grinning. The others avoided eye contact.

Grace smiled as he glanced at Boss…expectantly? Teasingly? Dan couldn't tell.

Boss glanced back at Grace, smirking.

Grace chuckled, as if they were gossiping telepathically.

They did that enough times that Dan had gotten used to it. Exchanging looks without words as if they could read each other's minds. And honestly, Dan wouldn't even be surprised if they revealed that they actually had a telepathic ability.

Khun was now frowning. Dan could imagine two cat ears on his head pointing backwards. "Are you making fun of me?"

Grace quickly waved his hands in front of him. "What? No! I would never."

Boss laughed at Khun, as if daring him. "You are so obvious, it's embarrassing."

Novick coughed, trying to hide his laugh. "It somehow reminded me of that one time Grace tried to make a perfect apple pie, and we ended up having a week’s worth of pies. All because he wanted to impress Boss."

"The pie was delicious. I was impressed." Boss nodded approvingly.

Grace closed his eyes, smiling proudly. "Worth it."

Oh, the lovebirds, Dan thought to himself. Khun must've reminded Boss of himself, which was probably what he and Grace were making fun of earlier.

Princess Anaak raised her hand, palm facing Boss and Grace. "Please don't kiss again. I'm trying to eat."

Dan heard Viole whisper to Khun. "So that's what a kiss is…?" Which was just another whiplash to him.

The more he learned about Viole, the less he fit a slayer candidate's fearsome and mysterious persona. FUG's god, as they called him. He was still a kid at heart, clueless and learning.

"What's up, Blue Turtle? Did you finally find your banana?"

Khun whipped his head, and Dan noticed a light blush on his cheeks. "What does that even mean?! Stupid crocodile."

"I wonder who's actually the stupid one," Hatz shrugged.

Khun growled, took a deep breath, and sighed. "Let's just ignore them, Bam."

It seemed like Khun was used to being antagonized by his own team. But Dan thought that he might understand why.

The strong temptation to tease and nudge the lovebirds, especially when they were so obvious yet clueless. Case in point: Grace and Agni, when Dan was new to their team. He couldn't keep himself from smiling at the memory.

He enjoyed Grace's old team’s company so far. He used every opportunity to join the conversation, especially when everyone started bickering and exchanging stories. The cafeteria had never been so lively before with only the five of them.

The chaotic energy that Grace's old team brought was like adding new flavors into the mix. Only time could tell whether it was a good combination or not, but he hoped that they'd get along. Especially because it would be a lifelong regret if he were to lose the chance to have Princess Endorsi around.

a few fav scenes

emotional support cwab

they weren't meant for this purpose exactly, but i do have countless "fluffy sticks" loose in my notes and homework sheets from the school years.

papery critter.

even when i wasn't confident in fur or feathers, they helped me practice posing and create some satisfying gradients/flowing poses. (im a sucker for good tail poses) (oh yay! i found a good pic...)

and finally, little sneak peak for you for reading so far ;3

i realized that whiteboardfox is pretty great for my working needs. simple and to the point and all. feels nice with the mouse and the tablet.

so i started hashing out a big project idea just to see if it holds up and

[

several hours later ...

]

oh

oh man

it's a little bigger than i expected

<next>

[solplease]

here's something no one asked for, my ocs when they were a bit younger! :] (more like how they were in highschool lmfao) ((not aster tho sorry my king. u did not have a highschool.))

as always, close ups and more info under the cut!! OH and i put an updated relationship chart at the very end!! it's in writing this time because i thought that would be easier (it's long.) </3 i am so sorry in advance there's a lot under this HAHA

lune:

lune was a little shit, he's very rebellious now but he was even more rebellious when he was a teenager lmfao

he would CONSTANTLY get into fights, anyone that pissed him off he did not hesitate to attack

his relationship with his parents was already bad but it quickly deteriorated at this point in time

he was relatively popular in school but uh, everyone stayed away from him or tried to be on his good side because... well yk! didn't wanna get attacked..?

also people thought he was annoying but hey at least he was good looking!

he did not know he was popular btw. like at all, no idea, still doesn't know

his grades were like... okay, not great, but not bad, and he would skip class a lot... dumbass

his nails were constantly painted different colours bc cecilia would do them often, he was also never seen without a bracelet on his right wrist

huge troublemaker (some things never change!)

he hasn't really changed since then lmao

cecilia:

she was a bit more reserved back in highschool, still nice and friendly but she had a hard time approaching others because she was nervous (and others found her a bit intimidating cause she didn't smile much) ((and she's related to lune and that guy was known for being crazy))

her and lune were known as "those rich twins"

was constantly stressing over lune because of how much he got in trouble it's not like their parents would do anything about it.

kept her hair long and undyed! she liked doing different things with her hair and would try out diffy styles a lot of the time

she liked having long hair, and randomly cut it off impulsively lmfao (3 am on a school night, she couldn't sleep and was like ok why not)

good student, wasn't always at school but she was doing well

hated going to school, couldn't tell you why, just hated it

she was really awkward as a teen, but she was trying her best

always had bracelets on, if you saw her she had a bunch on her left hand, and then just one on her right.

always had her nails done (she did them herself ^^)

would always carry a few hair ties on her in case any one needed to tie their hair

one time she tried to be cool and approached a girl who didn't have a hair tie and just dropped it in her hands and walked away (she then walked out of class bc she felt embarrassed)

she tried out a lot of different clothing styles

nox:

so, he still had a shitty sleep schedule!

hard to find, he was always somewhere, no one knew where tho

good student, did not give two shits about school though

not very memorable? he was quiet and would leave as soon as he could

every time there was a group project he would ask the teacher to work alone

didn't have any friends.

his classmates were kinda scared of him lol

would braid his hair a lot

had blue on him at all times, there will ALWAYS be blue in his outfits, whether it’s the shirt, pants, or a hair tie, he always had SOMETHING blue on him (this applies now too)

no one really knew much about him, and he liked keeping it that way

fuckass edgelord (kinda)

he was always like 5 minutes late to his first class (there was a cat that would wander around in front of the school and... he couldn't resist)

he would go see that cat every day btw. before and after school, he would also go eat lunch outside so he could see the cat (and he always brought something for it too!)

loser

cassian:

very social! had a lot of friends and was very outgoing

always doodling in class

he was rather popular! and well i guess some people didn't like that

he was known as the rich kid but people were always giving him things because he was super sweet HAHA

a really bright and helpful guy

he was usually seen with a smile on his face

it's a shame how things turned out, hm?

he would bring his shoujo manga to class and just read that (he was always sitting at the back of the classroom bc he was tall so the teachers didn't really pay attention to what he was doing)

and in the rare chance his teachers saw him doing something other than classwork they would mostly let it slide, he's a good kid, so it's fine (favouritism.)

lowkey the typical popular shoujo manga male lead (wow! just like he wanted!)

really good student too, always on top of his stuff

he had these sword earrings that he really liked, he used to wear them a lot!

always wore darker and muted colours, and liked more comfortable clothing

no one said anything but they really missed him after he left, maybe if someone helped him, things would've been different

rowan:

was completely different when he was younger

always angry, or sad, no one really knew what he looked like when he smiled

no one knew what was going on with him

but he was quiet, and didn't talk to many people, he wasn't a mean or scary kid, but people were still intimidated by him

his hair was longer and uneven, it looked like he had cut random bits and pieces

he was smart but wasn't doing so well in school

it always looked like something was stressing him out

he would stay behind after school

tense and uneasy most of the time

hair super healthy tho LMFAO (his mom would oil his hair regularly!)

he was completely different around his mom though, his source of comfort

if anyone from highschool saw him now they'd think he was a completely different person (in terms of personality, since he looks... pretty much the same)

although, in the last few months of highschool, his demeanor had changed for the better, he didn't smile much still but he looked a lot more relaxed and calm

aster: (his stuff is different because he didn't have school in his world lmfao. but here's how he was as a teenager and some other info about him!)

his hair was reallyyyyyyy long when he was still in his world (you end up cutting his hair when he came here lmfao)

he was really lonely because he was the only elf in his world and he had no company whatsoever

he ended up collecting a lot of things because he would wander around a LOT

dora the explorer has nothing on him bro

he was (and is) very curious about things, he really likes to learn

he somehow learned how to braid his own hair, would spend a lot of time doing that when he was bored

he has a horrible sense of fashion, you took him shopping once and he picked out the worst fucking outfits in existence, you're basically his personal stylist cause what the hell

he likes when you dress him up though teehee

he originally saw you in a mirror he found when wandering in the forest

he became really really curious about you and accidentally yanked you to him

he was confused but really happy

blah blah blah you end up living together, we all know the story! (if you don't, you suggested he followed you because you felt bad for him cause he was PAINFULLY lonely)

you took it upon yourself to cut his hair because it was REALLY long when you first met him, he likes having his hair long though, mourned the loss of his two front strands (he will be growing them back.)

he didn't talk to you for a few days after you cut his hair for the first time, wasn't your fault... you accidentally cut off one of the front strands and had to cut the other off to make it even

fun fact about him, his eyes glow in the dark, it can be scary at times.

oh and his ears are expressive, dunno how that works but it does! and he also never goes a day without wearing earrings! he prefers the ones he came with but doesn't mind wearing whatever as long as he has earrings haha

now for the updated relationship chart! (this whole post has been about them from a few years ago but this is their current relationships with each other!)

ROWAN -> LUNE: he’s a weirdo but i’m glad we’re friends, i can handle his craziness more than most people… probably, i’d say he’s like a brother to me, but at the same time i’d probably lose my mind if he was my brother. no idea how cecilia does it

LUNE -> ROWAN: somehow he’s gotten used to me, he’s not so bad, i guess i’d call him a friend

ROWAN -> CECILIA: she’s like a little sister to me! cute! we’re good friends :] i met her through lune, they’re close! we’re like siblings the three of us

CECILIA -> ROWAN: reliable and nice! i wonder how he’s friends with lune. also. we’re the same age?? he’s real sweet tho, and he’s kind of like a big dog? haha

ROWAN -> NOX: who? :D

NOX -> ROWAN: i’ve seen him before (around the twins) he’s close to cecilia and that other guy who she's unfortunately related to

LUNE -> CECILIA: my little sister <3 we are best buddies, i’d do anything for her, she was there with me in our hardest moments, i wouldn’t let anyone hurt her, and she wouldn’t let anyone hurt me, one of the only people i’ll listen to lmao (she’s kinda scary when she’s mad at me but it’s also kinda funny?) i like bothering her but she might kill me one day though. she hides herself a lot, i don’t know why, it’s always been like this. i wonder if it’s because of me..?

CECILIA -> LUNE: dawg you’re like two minutes older than me (won’t deny the best buddies comment) he’s a really good brother though… but tough to deal with, he’s always causing some sort of trouble, but uh, well. anyway, we’re basically best friends… his words, not mine (she’s lying) he’s crazy but he’s not a bad person..? <- would defend him with her life. he’s an interesting fella that’s for sure, i’ve known him my whole life but there’s always something new with him lmfao. sometimes he comes into my room to knock something over and then he leaves, what an odd guy.

LUNE -> NOX: cocky asshole. so annoying. go to hell already. and stay away from my sister, i don't want you plaguing her with your presence.

NOX -> LUNE: fuck you insane bastard, go die.

CECILIA -> NOX: he’s pretty sweet (??????) we’re really great friends! i didn't think we would become such good friends tbh, he didn't seem to be the social type, and i'm not very social either haha... we're pretty similar i think! i can't remember who approached who first but that's fine. also, this guy has one of the worst damn sleep schedules known to man, i worry for that man. also, him and lune hate each other, no idea why.

NOX -> CECILIA: she's a close friend, i don't usually like making friends cause they end up thinking i'm weird, i don't really care about that but... i'll admit, it's nice to have a friend. she acts really differently in front of other people than she does with me, i don't think she's realized though? it's like having a cat open up to you haha, so i won't say anything. i hate her brother though, pretentious dickhead.

CASSIAN -> CECILIA: we were kids when i met her and her brother? she’s nice… and a lot like me… we still talk, she’s a good friend, thanks for keeping me company… and thanks for not asking me too many questions either

CECILIA -> CASSIAN: oh! cass is a childhood friend! we met at some event, he’s changed a lot since then, but i guess we’re more alike now? he doesn’t come out of his house much anymore, but we still text often. sometimes i see him online really late... bro... please get some sleep.... anyway, i never got to know what happened with him, and he doesn't like talking about it either, i won't pry though, because i understand.

CASSIAN -> LUNE: he’s scary, but i guess he’s not that bad..? i talk to him too, we’re not the closest, but he’s still a friend, i text him sometimes, he’s crazier than before, he was fun to hang out with when we were young, not that i don't like him anymore, he's definitely... special

LUNE -> CASSIAN: i don’t know what happened to him, but he doesn’t leave the house anymore, he’s not bad. he texts sometimes, i don’t know why because i think he’s scared of me, no idea why tho (???) i guess he’s a childhood friend? him, ceci, and i used to hang out before… well yeah, still don't know what went down

CASSIAN -> NOX: oh… i’ve never met him. cecilia’s told me about him before, lune’s mentioned him once, they have really different opinions about him

NOX -> CASSIAN: no clue, cecilia’s mentioned him before, i think he’s friends with her and… the other one.

CASSIAN -> ROWAN: another one of lune and cecilia’s friends i think? they sure are popular. (even lune???)  i dont know anything about him though

ROWAN -> CASSIAN: no idea who this guy is! 

ASTER: ??? :’D

i really don't care if lestat is 100% always telling the truth in s3 and that he's not actually that much of a liar because he's still going to be filtering his past experiences through his own perspective, which to me, makes it not an objective truth. even if the show isn't focusing on the unreliable memory thing anymore, memory can still inherently be unreliable. so im not about to treat lestat as the only one who can recall a clear unbiased recollection of the past now

-It was evening, about five minutes before the official closing time of the shop. Etho walks in the door and the little bell rings signaling the entry.-

-They look around for a moment for any sign of Joel or Tubbo, expecting Joel since Tubbo was likely still..traumatized? Or at least given a day off, maybe grounded. In any case they spotted him cleaning table and getting ready to close up.-

Hey..you got time for one more order? - @ethoslabdoesthings

Joel had been cleaning up a table, zoning out as he did so. The repetitive act of scrubbing at the table had lulled his mind into a momentary state of calm. That was until he heard the familiar sound of the bell ringing, signaling the sign of someone entering the cafe.

Joel suppressed a sigh. The place was empty and he was closing. Who in their right mind would come in right now? He opened his mouth to greet them before promptly closing it when he suddenly heard their voice, recognizing it immediately. A smile spread across Joel's face.

That was a voice he loved. A face he loved. "Etho. Here you are again." Joel adjusts the apron around his waist before waving his friend over. "I've always got time for you. You know that. This late though? You should have come sooner."

for the most part i think powerscaling sonic characters is pointless and theres no objective answer to most questions of who is stronger or who would beat who in a fight because the truth is that the answer to those questions will always be determined by what works best for the story being told . however. it does kinda bug me when shadow is portrayed as significantly more powerful than all the other characters and people (whether it be official writers or people in the sonic fandom) act like none of the other characters stand a chance against him in a fight or whatever because thats just demonstrably not true. i mean yeah hes the ultimate lifeform but that doesnt mean everyone else is weak and powerless compared to him
