#I think he has 50/50 chances

[mouse-drawings]

Three bugs climb up to the top, but how many can come down?

I have a few ideas for this, but as I was thinking about it, I got curious.

Preview of the runner up results from this poll. I wish everyone who wanted to see more SVSSS characters from me a merry "I'm So Sorry'.

pairing ten's "will just kind of let himself be used as a vessel for romance if someone makes the first move" trait with his "spent a whole season not catching that his codependence insanity bestie was in love with him" trait means that if martha had made like astrid or christina and confessed/kissed him outright i think they would have entered a 10x more nightmarish toxic relationship where ten would attempt to get on the comphet grind to ignore his ptsd and depression harder and martha would have to speedrun all the highlights of a loveless marriage with a 20th century war veteran that never learned what being aroace is. i think she would have to leave and never talk to him again

i think the fell xenologue does a great job at characterizing some of the royals beyond the vanilla game mostly because every single royal has like one or two core principles that really make them who they are and so getting rid of those one or two things completely converts them into a completely different person. like alcryst losing his self doubt, celine loses her empathy, hortensia loses her resilience, etc etc. but i think my favorite version of this has to be fogado, who has in my opinion the most drastic change. i think all of the other royals have very outward presenting traits that you can easily catch onto and see theyve lost. but fogado is just a little different, because what fell fogado lacks isnt really a trait; he loses his sense of love. (rest under the cut bc it turned into an essay. my bad also fell xenologue spoilers obvs)

“our” fogado (?? idk how to differentiate between them. work with me here) is not an easy person to read in universe. he makes it very clear in chapter 13 that he’s pretty good at deception and is very willing to make use of that skill. his supports with timerra and pandreo also tell us he’s gotten used to keeping up a specially crafted persona meant to kind of suppress his feelings (that timerra and pandreo can see through but. like 1. theyre smart 2. sister and bff ok moving on). but he doesn’t do it out of malice or because he just likes being tricky, he lies because he loves. everything in fogado’s life is shaped by what he loves: his country, his friends, and his sister. every single motivation he has is fueled by this: the constant partying, how often he leaves the castle, all his acting. its even in his goddamn class name (cupido) and birthday (feb 14) if you needed the game to spell it out for you

so thats why when we get to the fell xenologue, the fogado we meet is changed in that one specific way: his love is gone. we know this because of a few things, the first of which is that he is honest. aside from the robe (in which he is assassinating someone! but also. lets be so honest with ourselves here. you can see his fucking face) he’s immediately upfront with his intentions: he wants the bracelets, he wants power, and he wants you to die. and thats it. he just kind of hands you that information, and then fucks off when you win. on what earth would our fogado do that? dude wouldnt even tell you if he broke his leg, he just partied a little hard last night. but thats just it isnt it? our fogado lies because he loves people, hes protecting them. fell!fogado is transparent because he’s not protecting anyone, he doesn’t care.

but the biggest kicker in fell!fogado’s lack of love is in his interaction with our timerra. our fogado loves his sister more than anything, as he literally plans his entire life around making HER life easier. he sacrifices even just spending time with her just because he needs to make sure hes fully prepared to keep her safe (not that timerra wants that for him but he doesnt really get that. which is another topic i could dive into but this post is long enough lets not make it a novel). fell!fogado though? well you see–

any love fogado holds for his sister, or any love at all really, is just not present in fell!fogado. and you could say that maybe its just because of the corruption, but then why do we still see love between the fierenese and brodian siblings? even fell!timerra still loves her brother if her conversation with our fogado is anything to go off of. but the writers know that fogado lives and dies on his love for people, its his entire being and so much more so than the rest of the cast. which is why thats what had to change in him for the fell xenologue. it wasnt really just a flip of the switch haha murder thing (though. it could have been handled better. lets be real) but it was the loss of everything that makes fogado him. and i think the fact that this gets to be highlighted in the dlc just makes base game fogado all that much more interesting, because it cements his motivation now that we know what he's like without it. fogado is a guy driven by love and its just fucking great

i'm very unlikely to be able to make this work which is why i'm posting about it instead of writing it but. i DESPERATELY want a bit in a princess luz AU fic wherein amity is just kinda like listen. luz. look. i honest to god don't care if you killed your dad. it's FINE. we ALL want to murder our parents sometimes. and i'm not just saying that because i don't want you to kill me too even though it would be so awesome for you not to kill me too

and luz, who is still in friendly princess-empress mode, which is VERY DIFFICULT for her to turn off in front of anyone other than hunter, is like whaaaat!! noo haha :) why would i do that :) i had an extremely normal well-adjusted childhood alongside my hunter :) i'd never Need to kill my dad :)

and amity is like. [head in hands] luz. listen. people who had normal well-adjusted childhoods don't openly have panic attacks every time their hunter is further than a whole entire two hallways away,

Featured breed: devon rex

(The cats are solids, because apparently locketed chocolate tabbies can't be found on the internet. By me, i mean. I'm not very good in this. But hey, at least I found some solids!)

genetics guide

Brown (tyrosinase-related protein-1, TYRP1): this gene determines the quantity of the functional eumelanin.

dominant allele: B - full pigment production, black cat (wild type)

"middle" allele: b - less pigment, chocolate cat (variant)

recessive allele: bl - even less pigment, cinnamon cat (variant)

Order of dominance: B > b > bl

The depicted variant is chocolate.

Further description in this post

Low-grade white (?): Hypothetic gene(s). Even with the extreme variability of the white spotting allele(s), the existence of some independently inherited genes is strongly suspected. Their effects most commonly manifest as a white locket: a small white patch on the chest or the belly, and/or a white tail tip. I'm not sure if there is any consensus whether these are more likely to be recessive or dominant alleles.

Bonus: tailtip

Norwegian forest cats with a white tailtip because I count that here too but I always show lockets

Ok ok, I'm actually not sure that their white tailtip is not just part of their general white-spotting, which does have a lot of unpredictibility. But still, cats without any white but their tailtip exist. I think.

So I just binge read the entire jjk manga to catch up a few days ago and I’ve been stewing in the thoughts. Especially thinking about how the story will end, who else is gonna die. Honestly I think it might be a shorter list naming off who I think isn’t going to die and it’s making me very sad. Even the characters I am the most convinced Akutami won’t kill off still have like a 40% chance of dying. God this manga is sad.

Went outside today to test out my new macro clip-on camera lens for my phone, and the first thing I see is this lovely little assassin bug (Pristhesancus plagipennis) sitting on the roof of the dog kennel! It sat perfectly still so it made a great model to test the lens on <3

It was really smart of Matt to put in adorable Gwendolyn scenes before the whole Delilah thing came up. It makes Percy's coldness and refusal much more understandable when we see directly what he's afraid to lose

[charred-angelwings]

Anybody else nervous that this next episode could be Soldier Boys last episode 👀👀

[fortune-maiden]

Welp, started Shadow Dragon and because I am determined to make this an iron man run, I decided to set it to hard

Fun Fact: I have never played any Fire Emblem on hard, and oh my god why are all my characters so weak and refuse to gain any strength

(regular enemies are ok, bosses are a nightmare. also what is this exp curve.)

My stepdad just got sworn in as a US citizen after living here as an immigrant for nearly 25 years and like I'm happy for him but knowing he wasn't gonna do it originally because he'd have to revoke one of his other two citizenships (??? Idk if that was real or not but someone had told him for years that if he wanted to be a US citizen he had to revoke either his Australian or Swiss citizenship).. and that he did it now in case my mother dies. Is kind of scary

[jesterlaughingstock]

It is increasingly obvious to me that Dz Amine's first and only ooc moment is when he helps out the old man who gifts him the phone in return. It is a kind, selfless and compassionate gesture and he does not have the capacity for any of these virtues

I think julian, in whatever critical r/ole slash dnd verse I develop, should have a lil animal buddy <3 he deserves it
