Is "Too Sweet" a Houlihawk song? Discuss.

I told the entire storyline of Malevolent to my friends (up to the episode i reached) and they just sat and listened... i talked for 3 fucking hours and they just listened and i don't think i can appreciate them more
Also only read up to tag 3 cause there are spoilers up to episode 25
#like damn u guys care about me so much to just let me go on a tangent about this podcast#that you will never listen too?#i love you all#like bro#there was actually one friend who got invested and might start the podcast but idk#i was telling the entire story just so i could laugh at the cruel irony of arthur turning into a monster#and john turning more human#malevolent#malevolent spoilers#arthur lester#john doe

me after editing the aau prologue for the bajillionth time
#First chapter I changed the opening bc I always thought it felt off/abrupt and wanted to have it be prince pov from the start#I wanna get in his head more ok sue me#Beyond that tho it was just some wording edits#Specifically with the internal dialogue moments I helped them flow more/feel more like thoughts#Also mj gets a bit more of their usual edge/pessimism bc the prologue they always felt a bit too “ówò sad poor smol bean” or whatever#That’s it tho chapter 4 I didn’t change bc it’s peak#Did add some teases to later things tho like snatch senses mjs soul at the end of his chap but doesn’t realize it#Or like I added the Not Now running thing in the earlier chapters bc it was more of a chapter 4 thing so I wanted 2 set it up more so boom#I think that’s all the notable edits ig like I said just description additions the only actual new thing is the opener for chap 1 👍#Also also I got to include a hc that I have that I neglected to do before but I hc a!prince used plural internal dialogue#Because lol we love dramatic irony in this house#Grace post#this reminds me tho one of these days I should look through heart strings chapter one to look for editing things#Bc I think I did that recently but I don’t remember it much tho#Mostly just when the Hat stuff starts that was the parts I never directly rewrote I just edited them so they feel out of place in my brain#Also I’d wanna edit her dialogue bc it *was* in character (after rereading her diary’s to confirm) but I wanna have her be a bit more snark#Hat is Hard bc i Need the balance of cute little kid and also smug little shit (affectionate) like she is a pain to write man cries#This is just me rambling lol ignore it I just wanted to spam aau thoughts#In other news I made shapes redesigns but I’m on the fence on posting them bc idk if I wanna spoil or not hhhhhhhhh#Nowadays I’m more chill w spoiling things than I used to be#But there are a handful of things I’ve kept shut about (ex being princes name or mjs species stuff etc)#So I’m not sure if this thing with shapes i should keep secret or just post bc I used to spoil it but idk now#Shrugs#maybe I’ll do a poll later I dunno#Ok yapping over byeeeeee

The Ones That Got Away (Touchstarved OC Rewrite)
I changed the lyrics to “The One That Got Away” by Katy Perry (I listened to this cover by Brielle Von Hugel), based on my Hound!MC Alon's backstory and their childhood friend's betrayal.
Summer in the city where we grew up.
Running from our troubles and tryin’ our luck,
Searching for a world that’d be big enough for two.
Used to steal Headmaster’s liquor and climb to the roof.
Dreamed about the future like we had a clue.
Never thought that one day, I'd be losing you.
In another life, I’d still be your friend.
We'd keep all those promises, be us until the end.
In another life, you would make me stay,
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away,
The one that got away.
One night on that rooftop, we’d made our pact
To leave these walls together, have each other’s backs.
Sometimes when I miss you, I climb towards the sky.
Summer kept on passing, and we grew up,
Found something in the city much bigger than us.
It’s time to face the music, we had long run out of luck.
But in another life, you’d be by my side.
We'd keep all those promises to take charge of our lives.
In another life, I would fight to stay,
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away,
The one that got away.
The one that got away.
All that money won’t buy back our time for me.
Can't replace you with a million dreams.
I never thought you’d turn our dream on me.
So I guess this is goodbye.
But in another life, I could still believe
That friends would keep their promises…
In another life, we’d make our escape,
And everyone who stayed would say we were the ones that got away.
The ones that got away…
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away.
The one that got away…
#touchstarved#touchstarved game#touchstarved oc#alon the hound#erick the wolf#song parody#lyrics rewrite#the word “dream” is used a bunch because it's not just the childhood friend they lost in the betrayal it's also their shared dream.#the word “luck” is also repeated because of the childhood friend oc erick. he likes card games and gambling.#“we had long run out of luck.” referring to the heist that was the catalyst for the betrayal.#I changed the bridge lyric to “I can't replace you with a million dreams” for one of the songs I had in their playlist. “a million dreams.”#the “turn our dream on me” refers to the promise to leave the city. so alon did actually end up fulfilling that dream thanks to erick.#via exile. we love irony.#I liked playing with the phrase “the one that got away” because it can mean a lost chance#but since the hound mc is a thief it could also mean the person that escaped. like oh no the criminal got away!#with alon and erick in particular it refers to their promise to leave the walled city together once they gathered enough coin#that was also tied to finding a cure for alon's curse but the most important part of that pact was to be together no matter what happened#for the bridge after the chorus I just took out the second part of “we would keep our promises” because I thought it was more fitting#the sentence just ends because it's too painful to repeat. I also think it makes that quieter more subdued part stand out from the others.#my favourite change was the switch to plural in “everyone who stayed would say we were the ones that got away.”#it's meant to convey: “we were supposed to be the ones that made it out. we were supposed to make it out of here together.”#again it's playing with that phrase: “the one that got away.” I imagine it sung in a very raw and agonized way.

Silver vs Eggman Nega is kinda messed up. Like imagine a more innocent version of Sonic fighting a more evil version of Eggman, from a younger age, BY HIMSELF.
What I think makes this situation even worse for Silver is the fact Eggman Nega seems to thrive on riling up his nemeses. Blaze exploded on him in Rush Adventure, and Silver can be equally hot-headed as her. I can imagine that in their fights, Eggman Nega does not refrain from taunting and mocking galore, just to make Silver angry! I think it also shows a nice contrast between Silver and Sonic: Sonic is noted to be hot-headed, but when it comes to a battle he generally manages to keep a cool head. In fact, he's the one riling up Eggman instead! To me, in that way, Silver and Eggman Nega's fights are an interesting inversion of the dynamic Sonic and Eggman have.
#silver the hedgehog#eggman nega#I know Eggman Nega is not regarded particularly favourably by the fandom but I honestly always was intrigued by him#I think he's both even more unhinged but also more incompetent than Eggman#and for someone who despises his ancestor for his failures that is honestly an irony I live for#I've got a rewrite of Sonic Rivals 2 in my wip drafts and Nega is NOT happy with the fact he can't reach Espio with his taunts haha#Espio is far too good at keeping a cool head in such situations!

Imagine being like one of miquella's close assistants during haligtree era and somehow the conversation ends up converging towards the role of empyreanhood and ascension and he's like "ah... godhood... indeed.... alas to become a lord i shall find a consort... if i could i would have made malenia consort, for we have already been one several times, and perhaps in birth too, but alas her fellow empyrean natures doesn't permit it" and you're standing there being like "did this guy just admit he fucks his sister"
#malmiq#sorry been acting extremely craycray lately. brainrot be like that tho#anw i have said this already but i think that like. their relationship started when they were reaaallyy young to cope with their loneliness#and it got willfully ignored by the others around them because addressing it wouldve been uncomfortable#they probably don't even considerate themselves two separate people from each other like one soul three people#(yeah i include t/rina here too)#i also think that the truth about their parents would have also made that feeling deeper#esp because they are the mirror image of their opposite sex parents#they'd be all like 'oh we are them reborn. but unlike them we'll do this right'#never grew up from that codependency. which imo fits the miq eternal childhood thing and mal's speech patterns#being kinda childish in the jp text (iirc)#also bitter irony that like the leaders of the more decent faction in the shattering were. like that#and the fact that it doesn't even impact their kindness 😭

#idk i feel like he must have gone down some kind of pipeline when he was on break.... his newest video really didnt sit right with me at all#like before i was definitely willing to stomach some of the things he said because they seemed self-aware enough#and while theres still an element of that it seems to be fading away into genuity and not irony#like before i felt like hed do the whole 'use rightwing terms ironically' thing to make fun of them that you see on left wing videos a lot#and like hes definitely got left wing convictions (active on union rights. critical of right wing government policy and us imperialism etc)#but like the video from yesterday he was talking about 'd.e.i' in quite a right wing way and it really put me off#between that and the Really poorly aimed jab at chelsea manning made me stop watching the video#a lot of the comments are noticing it too i want to have faith in him but im worried he goes more right wing#and the problem is the core of the video is good! he makes a few good points but he gets caught up in these strange tangents#i dont know man. i dont like it

im like sincerely so sorry bc my most shameful flaw is that envy is one of my favorite characters in the entirety of fma which is like. listen it's genuinely irredeemable but she knew exactly what she was doing when she made envy the pinnacle of gender envy bc my non-binary ass is NOT immune to feeling the gender envy to the highest degree for that little freak
#mine#i feel less ashamed for being hornee abt shin tsukimi do u understand. how humiliating that is.#literally dont even perceive me this is my greatest sin ok AT LEAST IM SELF AWARE#THEY LITERALLY DO ALL THE MOST HEINOUS SHIT IN THE ENTIRE SERIES NEXT TO KIMBLEE#AND THEY /BOTH/ GET OFF ON IT TOO WHICH MAKES IT WORSE#BUT THEYRE JUST SO PAINFULLY GENDER IM TOO WEAK TO RESIST#i want their voice. i want it so bad it's so painful i hate them so much. but i also adore them. and hate myself for that#she was targeting ME SPECIFICALLY when she made them frfrfrfr#fma#i hesitate to even put this in a tag but i feel like other trans ppl will get it. right. u get it right or am i just a lonesome fool#also. js. i hate kimblee. i fucking DESPISE kimblee actually. worst piece of shit ever in the whole series.#i actually got mad bc i forgot just how long he lasts in the series. FAR TOO LONG IF U ASK ME.#& also. i. feel like. i should get points too bc envy is rly the only absolute irredeemable piece of shit i actually enjoy#bc usually. i am a sheep. & i HATE them. but. i am also a sheep. to gender envy. sooooo. unsurprising exception.#but like otherwise unless u wanna count like my man dracula from castlevania which i feel like is not comparable bc he was VALID#envy is the only villain i actually truly like. any other 'villain' i like is more... morally grey. or. understandable. u know. u get it.#anyway. dont ever perceive me for this im ashamed#& also no the irony of having the mention of jealousy/envy as a my most strict boundary & yet having the literal embodiment of envy#as one of my fav characters in my favorite anime of all time is not lost on me. i am a walking contradiction we all know this#at least they're not THE favorite. u can take a very predictable guess on who that title goes to

"But it's not like that in canon at all!" ok but have you considered I. Don't. Care
#it's necessary to have people who can check things against canon and to call out flanderized and one-dimensional fanon portrayals#but sometimes fanon interpretations are more fun for people and their quality entirely subjective#also it's COMICS. It's all fanfiction! Just licensed to a company who pay some mediocre white men to write it#people who haven't picked up a back issue about the character they're writing even if they're literally paid to do it#Sometimes this accidentally ends up making the story and character multi-faceted. Other times it's just a constant butchering#We all have the same right to do whatever we want with our characters#there's no 'right way' to portray anyone. There's just good storytelling and bad storytelling#canon matters when you're doing META#That's where fanon is annoying as all fuck because you need to show your work#And even then bad faith readings exist. Which is different from simply interpreting things differently#meta discourse is supposed to be fun too#Not a game of one-upping each other and behaving like this is a PhD program#where you don't get to have an opinion if you haven't read everything ever#that one popular fandom blog got in my teeth so much because she was not just checking fanon against canon#but imposing her interpretation on everyone like it was fact too#I really think too much canon just makes you lose perspective about yourself#We aren't all here for the same things and that's quite alright#Also those with white queer brainrot seem to think that stanning the correct blorbo is activism#anyway if your main aim in reading comics is to dunk on other people's headcanons I suggest you get a life#It's high-key hilarious if antis reblog this. Absolutely no sense of irony in that lot#DCU#DC comics#Batfamily#Bat meta#DC meta#canon#fanon#fandom discourse#spite waffle

well friends I have officially joined the Chronic Pain Club, it’s not great to be here, there’s a chance it’s only temporary but my gut says ‘hmm many doubts’ and I won’t really know for a couple of weeks anyway until my doctors appointment. So. Been navigating that for four days and well we’re navigating at least
#there’s some sort of apollo prophecy dodgeball meme joke here#re me being close to many people w/ chronic pain/illness and being a strong empath#and already using spoon theory periodically for the mental health shite#‘ha ha wow this is so useful I’m glad spoonies consider mental health strugglers part of this too!’ and then I need you to imagine#that very specific TUNK sound a dodgeball makes#those thoughts have been living in my brain this weekend. anyway#mark and di if you happen to see this. TUNK (the dodgeball sound)#maybe it’s more irony than prophecy but as I said the thoughts have been there#I went to urgent care then the er thurs night because I spent an entire workday and over 8 hrs in severe abd pain#and it started on the lower right side so of course worried about appendix/gallbladder/etc#urgent care said yeah go to the er cause no matter what you need diagnostic imaging#and they asked have you ever had ovarian cysts I said no but my mom has (there’s thoughts it can be genetic)#do an ultrasound and sure enough I’ve got em!#and doing some reading up after the fact ‘most are asymptomatic and go away on their own!’ I was like well fuck#I mean that’s great but I’ve already failed the requirements I had STRONG symptoms#ibuprofen didn’t do a thing for the pain. until yesterday the hydrocodone they prescribed was all that would#yesterday experimented with three ibuprofen and that does help thankfully#so yeah needless to say I’m not very optimistic this is a ‘goes away on it’s own’ kinda cyst#but my obgyn is really booked and even squeezing me in/getting me in sooner is two weeks away#which is okay I get it healthcare is a mess#but yeah that means chronic pain for the foreseeable future#¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it is what it is#we’re navigating at least that’s all I can ask for#very glad I have today off because it was a very eventful weekend and I need an additional rest day lmao#but started off with low spoons because didn’t sleep well + pain so we’ll see how today goes#Cassie rambles#chronic pain shite#I have the mental health shite tag. might as well start that one lmao /cries

The nice thing about coming to Scotland is that there's barely any fucking Tories up here!
Richard Hawley, earning himself a big cheer at last night’s Edinburgh gig 😂
#the irony is that he's probably more likely to encounter Tories around Edinburgh than most other places in Scotland#but he got a massive cheer so clearly there weren't too many of them in the venue 😉#Richard Hawley#Scotland

this is definitely bc I'm coming at it as a fan of the live action and not the book it is just so bizarre to see lwj presented as a super experienced and confident and suave sex expert right out of the gate. it just goes against all my perceptions of him as a character. except confidence maybe. to be clear he is horny and all I just don't think he'd really get very far with anyone beside wwx
#me reading fics where hes talking really dirty and goin 'MY lwj wouldn't say that'#and im not even saying I refuse to read anything kinky w them its just the dialogue and his demeanor feel SO off#honestly it felt weird in the book too. they're doing all that with ZERO experience???#obvs a danmei is not rly meant to present sex realistically but thats part of why I default to cql lwj#he just feels more realistic in a lot of ways#and I dont think hed be having casual sex I rly dont...like just based on his personality#in modern aus where hes like super experienced and all im always like. really?#less unbelievable if he didnt know wwx maybe#meanwhile ppl are way too worried about wwx being a virgin. I get the irony is fun but like. calm down#im not opposed to lwj having previous partners or anything but the way he interacts w sex just feels really off in a lot of modern aus#also its really embarassing to read when he talks so formally all the time. there has GOT to be a balance#just read one where he alternated between talking like a robot and dirty talk. misery#ficblogging

this is gonna sound bad but I'm watching the canon lesbian velma movie and. I kinda hate it 💀
#rando thoughtz#though velma being a lesbian is not the problem thank god#though idk.... the way they handle her crushing on this lady is a lil ehhh but it's. fine i guess#i do however have come go a realization i. hate the current scooby doo art style#not completely though its rlly expressive & fluid (in this movie at least)#and there's some rlly nice use of colors#but bc its trying to mimick the original animation style it also picked up how. flat it was#the compositions are often rlly. eh#it would work fine for a show but for a movie it feels too bland#and God Why Are All the women Drawn like that .#its so off putting to see daphne in comparison to the more recent stylizations that came before bc.#she has a insanely skinny waist & massive hips. its like cement got injected into them#its most obvious on daphne but hints of this is in most women in this including velma#like. the way they animate them feels so objectifying to me ........#especially lesbian love interest lady like My God she makes me uncomfortable#might be how she makes me think of that one lady from road to el dorado#in how a woman with a darker skin color is constantly animated w/ a huge focus on accentuating her promiscuity#idk the way women look in this style rlly doesnt sit right with me#something abt the writing also feels off to me but i cant put my finger on it so i wont comment on it much#idk. ig it has a bit of that mcu irony poisoning or smth like that#i might just be nitpicking a lot and maybe I'd feel different on a second watch#but im a person that likes be cool scooby doo i am p open minded when it comes to this franchise#especially since i mostly dont expect it to be a masterpiece like ever#the closest was the direct to vhs era & we're not ever gonna get back to that#idk man im sorry guys i just have a hard time enjoying this era of scoobt doo as much <////3#it might not be helping that a part of my perception of it is that they feature celebrities like sia & ricky gervais so. not great#the weird al episode i enjoyed though#ok sorry i got into a heated scooby fan moment </3 it might happen again#it almost happened before when i watched the scoob movie#but everybody was lucky i got over my irritation over the things i didnt like abt the movie by the time i thought to type it all out

ive already done a deep dive (essay) into c!Tom im super tempted to go into my headcanon of the dynamics of c!Tucker and c!Sonja’s as Mianite’s two champions and how symbolically/elemental wise i feel like Sonja is the storm, and Tucker is the sun
#something something the sun after the storm is favored in convention#magic being associated with lightning#the weight of the golden child/champion represnted by like sunlight; upholder of order how the sun dictates life#sonja and the juxtapostion of rainstorms destroying and creating#theres also a cool irony because of their palettes#mostly its cause of the hcs and the aesthetic boards and its inspiring me to want to do more character work for them#since ive developed them for the origins Au kight as well fuss with the canon versions#i also drew c!Sonja for an octobernite this week and it got me thinking Big#im embersduo (jordan and sonja) truthing too bc of the astro ads and. yeah#lafakiwi talks#verdigris musings
