haikyuu boys + an s/o who can knit

request from @crystal-lilac​ : Hey! I'd like to make a request. Its up to you on the layout, but could you do something where the reader knows how to crochet or knit and makes their partner something and its just really Fluffy and cute. I'm a suckered for that stuff. If you can't do crochet/knitting, then maybe baking? Can it be done with Akaashi, bokuto, and kuroo?

fic notes :  akaashi, bokuto, and kuroo x gn!reader, fluff, headcanons, wc: ~0.43k

from elle !  pls this is so cute omg…my heart really went so soft after seeing your request aaaa tysm for sending it in and i hope you like it.

➹  akaashi k.

it’s not exactly a secret that akaashi is very perceptive, he notices literally everything when it comes to you. the first time he entered your bedroom, he’s taking mental notes of anything that pertained to your likes and hobbies.

so when he noticed a small basket filled with several colors of yarn and knitting needles, he doesn’t fail to put two and two together, and comes to conclusion that you know how to knit.

but listen, as much as he would love to receive something handmade from you, he’s too shy to straight up ask you to make something for him. so akaashi settles on lingering gazes on your knitting tools and hopes that you would eventually get the hint.

and you did !! you always wanted to make something for him, but you just can’t figure out for the life of you what to give him :(( you were just waiting for any sort of indication of what he might want knitted.

“ouch.” akaashi hissed, pulling his hand back from the hot cup of coffee that sat in front of him.

“is something wrong?” you asked, noticing him softly blowing on his fingertips.

“nothing, i just keep forgetting how hot cups are sometimes.

and just like that, the little lightbulb in your head turns on >:) then and there you decide to make him cup cozies for his coffee and tea so he didn’t burn his fingers off every time he makes a fresh cup !!

luckily for you, making a a cup cozy doesn’t take too long and you were able to make two different ones in two days. then again, you were just generally excited to give him his gift that it was all you could really focus on.

“i have something for you,” a grin slowly spread across your features, it was very much clear to akaashi that you were hiding something behind your back. his mind races, wondering if he had forgotten some sort occasion.

you ask him to hold out his hands and close his eyes — which he does with a really light flush on his cheeks.

he gasps once he sees what you have knitted him, immediately recognizing what they were, “darling, you shouldn’t have…”

akaashi literally tears up !! he just feels so warm and loved that you remembered such a trivial inconvenience for him and then went out of your way to ease it up a bit.

he engulfs you in his arms and thanks you a million times over. becomes so clingy that he’s practically glued to your side for the rest of the day, not that you have any complaints.  

➹  bokuto k.

you don’t exactly hide the fact that you can knit from bokuto. every time he comes over, he finds you in your room knitting and he doesn’t make any efforts to stop you. he just cuddles up by your side and watches you with such awe and amazement. sometimes he’ll also talk about his day, other times he just takes a nap on your lap  <3

and can you blame him for being so heart-eyed and in love? look at you !! you’re creating all these cute pieces out of essentially just thread and just *wow* ; bokuto just thinks you’re the coolest person on the planet.

“baby” bokuto called out, placing his head on your shoulders as you continued knitting your latest piece. 

your heatbeat picks up from the sheer amount of admiration in his voice, the shyness in it too. it’s not often that you see him like this, a small blush on his cheeks and looking down at his fingers, fiddling with them. you tilt your head to the side, heart melting at the sight of him, “what is it kou?” 

“do you think you can make me something?” there’s a small, hopeful smile that crosses his features.  

how can you say no to him? especially when he bites his lip in anticipation for your answer. 

though you do take a few seconds to respond and bokuto just panics !! the last thing he wants is to pressure you into making something — it’s just an idea that’s been playing on his mind after spending roughly a few weeks watching you knit.

you reassure him immediately that it was fine and that you don’t mind making something and bokuto just lets out a the biggest sigh of relief you’ve probably ever heard from him. 

he literally can’t sleep because he’s so so so excited for your gift ; he just knows he’ll love it regardless of what exactly you make.

the fact that it’s from you, that you spent a couple of hours of your time to make him something is enough to make him swoon.

“here.” you smile, handing him a small knitted coin purse, knowing he had a habit of storing his spare change in random pockets and places of his bag.

“baby! i love it!”

next thing you know he’s peppering kisses all over your face. 

bokuto definitely offers to treat the team to some snacks whenever he can for the sole purpose of taking out the coin purse you’ve made him and bragging about how you made it for him >:)

➹  kuroo t. 

kuroo hasn’t exactly seen you knit, but he sees the things you’ve made and just makes the (right) assumption that you know how to ; he sees the blanket you’re cuddled under, how soft it feels against his skin. he sees the mittens you wear on your hands on particularly cold days, the cardigan that matched it.

and he’s just so proud and amazed !! kuroo doesn’t even notice how much he’s talking you up to anyone who’s willing to listen — even to those who won’t, tired of hearing him go and on about how “yn wore a really cute sweater today. i’m willing to bet all the money in my wallet that they made it themselves! ah, it’s just cute as them!”

and kenma is just tired of hearing about you almost every hour of every day, even though he also thinks that it’s pretty cool that you know how to knit.

“i’m just saying, yn.” kenma sighed, briefly taking his eyes away from the screen, “try to make him something. maybe that might shut him up, do the entire team a favor.”

you let out a quiet chuckle, knowing that he was partly-joking, “i don’t know kenma…”

his eyes go wide, “i’m not trying to pressure or anything.”

“i’ve always wanted to make him something but…” you bite the inside of your cheek, looking up at kenma, “do you think he’ll like it?”

“yn, you could literally just hand him a piece of thread and he’ll cherish it like it’s gold.”

kenma is really out here making some points™.  

you decide to make him a scarf, mostly because he’s been complaining non stop about how he’s always cold. 

every time kuroo sees you with something you’ve knitted he just showers you in compliments and it takes everything in you not to spill the surprise.

“oh? what’s this, babe?” kuroo asked, raising a brow as you handed him a small paper bag. “last time i checked it isn’t my birthday or our anniversary.”

you shake your head, “it’s just a little token of my appreciation.”

kuroo actually squeals, insanely close to tearing up !! he’s flustered and blushing, barely able to stutter out a “thank you” ; just feels so loved and cared for that his heart is speeding up like crazy. he pulls you close to his chest and whispers that he loves you.

it doesn’t matter who on the team is freezing, kuroo is not letting them borrow his scarf. it’s his and his alone. and if kenma thought it would shut him up, he’s definitely wrong. it makes him show you off even more <3

—  see if you can request something here.

[ishgard]

emet & exarch >:3c

AAAA GOOD YES. I’mma just… put it under a cut cuz it got a bit l o n g. 

First impression

When we first saw Solus? As he is up there? ”It’s Ardyn.” Pretty much. I won’t count the first time we saw him in a casket cuz that just amounted to ‘he dead’… which was WRONG.

Impression now

“It’s Ardyn.” Okay, not really, I think they’ve got a lot of similarities, but gosh, I could not have been prepared for what SHB did with him. I’m… still not okay. Just looking at that gif and I’m emotionally compromised all over again. Him and Ardyn share a top spot for Final Fantasy antagonist - possibly just most media in general, really. Anyway, I adore him, the tragedy of it all, and for me personally I suspect he’s going to be The Bar that all other antagonists fall woefully short of.

Favorite moment

…..Oh… oh that’s… That might be the toughest question honestly? I mean. Just one? Impossible. I loved every time he’d answer our questions, I loved when he fucking peaced out on us in Rak’tika and everything when he came and saved Y’shtola and oh absolutely yes the scene at Bottom Rung was So Good. The scene after Innocence? The talk with Hythlodaeus? The ENTIRETY of the everything leading up to and following the final confrontation? Augh. A U G H. …I’ve put myself in a state again.

Idea for a story

I had an idea I was working on where the WoL holds onto a piece of the auracite and begins having dreams and visions of communicating with him; just a small piece of him that remains much like a shattered version of himself. There’s so many other things though… plenty with Persephone, and the other members of the Convocation. The idea of a shattered Hades ‘reincarnation’ even many years down the line from where we are now in the story seems interesting too - not necessarily as someone inherently important to MSQ, but someone experiencing the world as it is now and learning to fall in love with it. Ahhhhh….

Unpopular opinion

-looks into the camera like i’m on the office- ….Favorite characters aren’t a political opinion. But no, really, I think there’s a pretty clear divide on whether folks wanna see him come back in some capacity or another. Me? I don’t hate Zenos, but if I had a choice, I’d trade that return for a return of Emet-selch in a heartbeat ngl. idk if I want him to be an outright ally in his return, but I think it could be very interesting if he has a hand in our victory in whatever comes next (defeating Zenodiark? Overcoming Elidibus? I had a vague idea of us moving towards untempering plots and all, and us actually untempering Eli somehow) Overall, if Ishikawa is in charge, I have a lot of faith in her doing such a plotline justice. 

Favorite relationship

I love whatever relationship it is he has with the WoL. I try to steer away from “their relationship with the WoL” for this one as much as possible, but that one in particular, and in this case especially, was just… it was so good imo, and so deeply intriguing. Whether he comes back or not, I really hope we at least get a chance to somehow glean more into what came before. Really kick us while we’re down and show us what we lost.

Favorite headcanon

Shoebill. :| Okay, that’s more of a conspiracy theory, but it gives me hope. Favorite HC is probably… WoL as Persephone. A bit less of a HC for HIM, but deeply related. I have a headcanon that his empress was actually the Source’s shard of Persephone before they died and were ultimately reborn as the current WoL. 

First impression

G’raha: “Who the fuck is this little shit?”

Crystal Exarch voice in WoL’s head: “Who the FUCK is this little shit?”

…So it goes.

Impression now

G’raha then: ; ^ ; I love.

Crystal Exarch now: ; A ; I LOVE!

But yeah, there are obvious… ‘differences’, all things considered, between the two, so I’ll keep this primarily to the Exarch, and good god do I adore him. I will rewind a bit to say that while I did love G’raha a lot! he was by no means a super big all-star fav of mine. But once we’d gotten that first art of the Crystal Exarch and there were the details that the Crystal Tower would be important to SHB story, the dots were pretty solidly connected in my head and I couldn’t wait to see what happened. Needless to say, I was not let down one bit. He’s just such a good boy and seeing how much he loves and cares for you is so moving - oh look, I’m crying again.

Favorite moment

R o u g h. Two that come to mind though are, well, the whole instance with him in Kholusia with that one dwarf whose name presently escapes me, and the scene with him on the cliff top which I’m just gonna smoosh together cuz the other one, probably obviously, is the one after Innocence which… -gesticulates dramatically- E M O T I O N S. MY INSPIRATION!!! ; A;

Idea for a story

My idea is mostly this: Ahru and the Exarch curl up together and take a long-needed and much-deserved cat nap. That’s it. Might not be a long or riveting story, might be more of a snapshot than anything else, but that’s it, and it’s important to me. Also just going on adventures together in general.

Unpopular opinion

D: ..I don’t think I have one? I don’t think this is an unpopular opinion per se, more just personal thoughts, but as much as I love the ExarchxWoL ship, I can’t quite wrap my head around it for an Ahru ship (and I’ve shipped her with just about everyone at some point or another.) which is awful cuz gosh he loves WoL so much. ; - ; 

Favorite relationship

That said! I do love ExarchxWoL SO MUCH, like Emet, the way it was portrayed especially in Shadowbringers was so good. His interactions with everyone were fairly interesting though, and his relationship with Lyna and the people of the Crystarium were also very moving and sweet.

Favorite headcanon

Oh here’s one maybe? I don’t see him as being quite so… shy and passive? as I think he’s often portrayed. I think once he’s found some self-assurance he doesn’t lack for confidence and is apt to playful teasing. (side note: I’m thinking mostly along the lines of a close/romantic WoL-based relationship).

(Send me a character)

June 25, 2018

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:16] On another subject...

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:16] :)

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:16] What would be more in the Doctor's things: a kid banging with thunderbolts from his hands, or feeding a mech with his super powers?

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:17] I write such a small script, and in the final I have a choice between this and that ;)

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:17] Heheheehehe

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:17] Somehow it made me laugh

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:18] I think the mechs are not Doctor-like, but thunderbolts from hands... kinda already were XD

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:18] Gosh, this is an old idea that I once had, but it has taken me so much now, that I even know what music would be in the background :)

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:19] Well what? :D

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:19] This: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u75pbfLi6_M

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:19] Because words fit the story

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:20] But music is also so typical for such a situation :)

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:21] Too, too :)

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:21] That was in the Sonic series?

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:21] In the game

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:21] Better yet :)

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:22] That is, the plot of the two games was based on this black hedgehog, but for the animation only the first story was used

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:22] The beginning of this little piece of my work is awfully ripped off, but consciously ;)

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:23] Also from this game?

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:24] From the first game/series

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:24] How was it going in the text: "You have made me"? Your kid will be created by someone too?

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:24] Yes and no :)

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:24] This can also be interpreted differently ;)

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:25] In games or series, the creator of the black hedgehog has been dead for a long time

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:25] oooo

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:26] I am just listening to some analysis of this character

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:26] Ooo, share the link? :)

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:26] Interesting indeed

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:26] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh9HbDjCsdo

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:26] I have never been into that universum

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:27] Me too just as much as the series, but I liked this Shadow :)

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:27] I always watched an animated series when I was able to... I guess the three episodes could gathered... I think

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:27] And I'm also familiar with Eggman, because my friend called himself with that name XD

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:28] There were a few series - I know one, I wonder if we talk about the same thing

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:28] I have no idea, I can give very little detail

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:28] I remember some city after the apocalypse or something

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:28] With people, or the animals alone?

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:29] With people

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:29] It's probably the one I watched :)

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:30] Yeeey: D

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:30] I know that fandom hates it exactly for human characters :P

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:30] Well, they are a bit out of the way, as if it was some "Sesame Street", but actually I don't know how it should work in general. Did these little ones come from outer space, or it is the outer space or what

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:31] And finally Eggman is also a human (?), but it's probably not a deal without him, right?

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:31] That is, Eggman collected 7 such super-powerful stones, and there was a boom

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:31] And they landed in the human world

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:32] I dont know how in games, but in the series there was a thread that Eggman discovered that his grandfather was a human and he moved to that world of animals

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:33] It is: Eggman didnt come from Earth (I mean: didnt he know about it)?

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:33] Hell knows, they cut this thread ;)

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:34] More probably this grandfather

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:34] hehe

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:34] Well, there was something with these crystals

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:34] He was the one who created Shadow

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:34] I wonder how a friend with that nickname looks at it

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:34] In general Eggman in games is called differently

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:35] Well, I am just listening so to this recording and it comes out of it, but... I would be very disappointed if it were different ;)

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:35] I know :)

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:35] Eggman had several names

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:35] In the game it is probably dr. Robotnik?

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:35] Dr. Robotnik - in series this is how his grandfather is called

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:35] Oh, that's it

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:35] Aaaa, Ivo Robotnik, yes

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:36] Somehow the fans nicely put all these names - here's the name, here's the surname, there's a nickname ... But I dont remember exactly

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:36] In my Doctor work, of course, there will be no hedgehog, but guess who will replace Eggman ;)

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:36] Apparently the author of this character wanted to somehow give the synonym of someone intelligent in the name

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:37] But he completely didnt get the Slavonic languages and was fooled by the word "robot" X)

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:37] Ooo, will someone replace? The Master?

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:37] Missy ;)

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:37] Or maybe your Nemesis? :p

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:37] Aaaah...

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:37] So in total I guessed XD

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:38] The kid, in turn, will be a chunk of Clara, but it doesnt matter in the story - it's about Missy in the first scene having him with whom to confuse :P

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:38] Yes? With who?

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:39] In Sonics was like this: Eggman doesnt know what's in this hibernation container, opens it up, it's blowing smoke...

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:39] And he only sees the contours - contours identical to Sonic

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:39] He thinks it's Sonic

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:39] And it was Shadow?

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:39] Yes

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:40] I just got to it in the recording :p

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:40] (I pause every now and then.)

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:40] It may be a bit different in games, but I guess similarly in general

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:41] They said that this theme opens the games, more the second one

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:41] I mean: he had to be before what was in the games

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:41] Namely, Shadow appears in Sonic 2

Capitano: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:42] And on the basis of this is also his story in the series

Astroni: [Jun 25, 2018, 12:43] I like how they called him - an antihero. Very interesting. And an hour ago I was not really aware that there is someone was like this

[hamstermastersamster]

Aww man, Voltron S7. General SPOILERY observations under the cut:

- 13 EPISODES AAAAAAAAAA - I binged them all in one stretch and I’m not even sorry.

- Oh, Dreamworks. You were so close. But it still counts as Bury Your Gays if you kinda split them up before you kill one of them :’( Disappointed.

- Once I caught wind of that Shiro revelation I was really looking forward to a good feelsy reunion once they reached earth and it was totally denied. We don’t even get to know more about this relationship, or what Adam was like as a person, or how he felt after Shiro took off for that last time and then was reported dead. These missing holes are always so frustratiiiiing grrrrrrr!

- Please for the love of god now hook Shiro up with some cute garrison officer or resistance fighter between seasons. Let him rest, let him love.

- I enjoyed seeing the brotherhood between Shiro and Keith develop in ep 1, but the other revelation about Shiro being chronically ill (I feel you, bro) was really odd. I’m all for characters with chronic illnesses that they just gotta Deal With but this disease has literally never been mentioned or its impact seen ever again. Not throughout the entire season, nor ever referenced by Shiro and Keith in seasons prior. Did the galra cloning process eradicate it? Is it just gone now? All the physical stuff he’s done right up until the final episode, he still seems at pretty peak condition to me!

Of course, maybe he’s just a Chronic Illness Icon and extremely good at pretending to be abled. God knows the poor dude has got enough else going on visibly (PTSD, amputated arm . . .), maybe he just told his invisible illness to piss off and deals with it without mentioning it ever (life goals right there).

Whatever, it’s weird. Chronic illnesses are called that for a reason - pls don’t drop ‘em in and then forget they exist.

- I think that intro threw me off ‘cause the season intro felt slow to me, without providing the meaningful post-S6 character moments I think we all wanted (or I wanted?). I wanted Shiro team hugs, to hear his feelings about Kuron beyond that, granted, hilarious one liner about his evil clone, to see if HE WAS OKAY MENTALLY but, as Romelle kindly points out, we all just move on again. There were 13 eps this season, there was room for this important shit!

- Okay, I laughed a lot at the obligatory comedy episode this season. Parody!Lotor made me piss myself and I never want to see blushing Haggar again.

- Zethrid/Ezor shippers, do your thing. I was glad to see Lotor’s generals get some much needed time for their characters to shine.

- Feels latched onto me from the lost in space ep and never really let me go from there. Until that point I was feeling like I could maybe watch this season in a few sittings. But team bonding is my jive, and . . .

- POST-APOCALYPSE EARTH IS ALSO MY SUPER JIVE OH SHIT. It’s like they knew what was in my heart. Everyone who knows me knows that I live for this crap and I never get tired or stop feeling emotions at the sight of our civilisation in ruins and brave desperate human factions trying to correct that :’D

- At first I thought the world’s reaction to Sam’s global broadcast was so simplistically naive. Like, based on today’s situation I’m pretty sure nations would immediately accuse each other of a) lying, b) developing superweapons to bolster their own power and take over the other nations, and c) start world war 3. But Veronica later says that WW3 has already happened on this Earth, and the garrison seems to be just one site for an international military organisation, so I’m gonna assume we’re at the point of worldwide peace, an enlightened human race and international alliance, and let it slide.

- Speaking of, SO MANY GREAT MINOR CHARACTERS WTF?! The cute MFE cadets! Veronica! Resistance fighters! And the usual effortless unspoken Voltron diversity in the garrison troops and the resistance fighters is so refreshing and fills my heart with joy. Women and PoC are just allowed to exist in the Voltron world without having to justify their presence or be a plot point or serve the white dudes of the series. They can be good, bad or nothing special in between and why isn’t this the basic standard of entertainment oh my god. It makes it doubly frustrating that they didn’t give Adam his due, gdi.

- I just really enjoyed watching Earth fall to the galra and the level of detail lavished on establishing that was, for once, just right. To the point that I didn’t even realise we’d gone a few eps without seeing a single Paladin. Sam Holt’s a good egg.

- The Hunk focus was welcome. The Hunk/Keith hug gave me life. Aw, Keith. You should do the emotional support thing more often. You’re getting better at it, honey.

- In general the Paladins w/family thing was super cute and cathartic after they’ve been away from home for so long.

- Like, I know there are a couple of ‘problems’ (arguably charming characteristics) of Voltron writing, that some people can’t stand. Like overengineered space problems for the protags to overcome (it took 2 Lions like, 30 seconds to take out one cannon in the end, WHY DICK ABOUT WITH THE REFLECTOR THINGIES AT ALL), or the deus ex machina (Coran you literally FORGOT you had an all-powerful crystal hanging from your damn neck and the base got exposed for NO REASON), or extremely delayed realisations of how a problem can be overcome while the audience is literally screaming at the screen (CALL YOUR DAMN LIONS IN THE CELLS GUYS DO IT DO IT NAO).

But I can’t lie - the way these scenes always get presented on screen in this series, with that incredible soundtrack making your heart race and the constant sense of urgency and danger, it really gets my blood going. I will defend its silly space antics until the day I die.

- I’m really glad Admiral Sanda got to redeem herself. She wasn’t a bad person, just had too much pride and bad solutions to an admittedly shitty problem. 

- Man I really hope not too many garrison peeps got crushed by moving sections when the Atlas transformed, lmao

- Damn, the Atlas mecha is THICC

- Voltron needs a serious upgrade. It can’t keep scraping through fights like this and needing loads of help, surely.

- I’m so incredibly glad they didn’t end on a cliffhanger. There were moments toward the end where I couldn’t remember how many eps I had left and I kept thinking they were gonna leave us in the lurch. Thanks, Dreamworks.

- All in all, not as great as S6, but as usual I had a good time and lots of feelings and I feel good about how it ended.

Trying 2 think of names for this project AAAAA

Cos seriously it can’t just be “the test game thing” forever, lol!

Okay so.. what’s a name that describes what it is, but doesn’t sound boring? Things that it is: dating sim, friending sim, basically like Rune Factory but you do not run a farm, so more like animal crossing but with jrpg fantasy people, oh and also its a test game thing XD So I actually kinda wanna use the word ‘simple’ in it somehwere, to reference that its supposed to be my first game, and all? or maybe a synonym more like ‘humble’ cos like that’s the big thing I want to achieve. I just wanna make a chilled out fun game where u live a lil fictional life and make this tiny pixel man hang out with tiny pixel friends. Give him one of seven happy endings, woo!

So.. something or other that’s like ‘humble dream’ or ‘simple life’...?? But those are names that sound a bit generic so maybe something else that means the same thing but sounds cooler... aaaa....

A completely random thought that came to mind... Heartful Trade? Cos like... ‘hey put your heart into working at this virtual shop’ but also like ‘it has dating sim elements, plz giv ur heart to these eligable batchelors and batchelorettes~!’ Also I just have a soft spot for titles like that, where its two english words that just Sound Catchy and you generally get what it means even if it’s like.. not supposed to be in that order. Like Final Fantasy instead of ‘the last story’, or Dark Chronicle instead of ‘the dark story’ or Radiant Historia instead of ‘a triumphant story’ or like seriously there’s so many JRPGs that’re just synonyms for story. Also Bokujo Monogatari aka literally Farm Story, which DIDN’T have one of these titles yet became Harvest Moon in the dub. I just really like clever meaningful titles like that?? You instantly know its a farm story cos its a random farm related term, which also sounds hella catchy! Tho then there’s stuff like Rune Factory which makes no damn sense cos its also a farm story and doesn’t even have industrial age technology, lol. Plus runes aren’t even particularly important, they’re just the mcguffin of the setting. That’s like if Final Fantasy was Crystal Story, or Kingdom Hearts was Kingdom H- actually, that raises a good point. Name your mc guffin something random as hell and you automatically have a good game name!

Also, umm, lol, I uhh.. ACTUALLY NEED TO DECIDE WHAT TRADE IS HEARTFUL, YO... Like I don’t even know yet whether I’m actually gonna do any sort of minigame thing as an excuse for the protagonist being there. I mean Animal Crossing just has ‘you move in, and then you Live’. I don’t necessarily have to have a farm or a shop or a shopfarm or a farmshop.

Though I did actually think of potentially a reason for the protag to move into this town! He is a badass wandering adventurer dude so why does he suddenly settle down and why in this town in particular? I was thinking possibly he got injured on the job, and has to rest here til he recovers! DUN DUN DUN its a bunni brainwave seriously everything suddenly makes so much more sense now So he was just questing around this area and the townsfolk helped him out when he broke his leg, and maybe Village Elder Super Grandma Mayor let him stay in the guest room of her house. And then he was only gonna hang around til he got better, but OH NO he falls in love with the town and makes a bajillion friends and possibly stays forever! It’d be a good excuse to give mayor grandma a bigger role, and also an excuse why he’s starting off at low level stats even though he’s an established adventurer. Its less ‘you’re bad at this’ and more ‘don’t strain yourself while you’re still injured’, and like.. relearning how to do stuff that’s become harder now he’s got to use a cane. (A VERY FANCY CANE. POSSIBLY CUSTOMIZEABLE.)

Tho I dunno, maybe if there was a job minigame it could have something to do with working for the mayor? Like maybe you’re her scribe/ye olde medieval office assistant. or maybe you start up some other business that’d be easier while you can’t walk so much, like you renovate her spare room into a small flowershop or something. Or a teashop! or a tailor shop! Or a souvenier shop! Or some sort of cute!!! Hmm I like the idea of tailor/embroidery shop tho, cos I wanted to have one of the annual festivals be a fashion show. I wanna put Lyall in cute outfits because i love him and he deserves to be happy! Also sewing stuff could be a cool way to make gifts for romancing the various ladies (and dudes)~! Oh or maybe he could be an author and make books about his adventures?? Or maybe a chef and give everyone cakes??? ...I can’t really decide, I think i’ll just make it so that various cute careers are the endings you can get if you don’t date anyone. Cos it’d feel less like ‘the bad ending’ if its a big triumphant pic of Lyall moving in to the town for good and opening his new shop of various different kinds depending on your highest stat.

Here’s the voice meme I was talking about! It’s creeping up on 10 minutes soooo strap in.

The last two questions and part of the previous one got cut off in recording somehow, so I’ll have to re-record them another time :/

Transcript below the cut.

"Heya, this is Jack Bisexualowain speaking and I'm about to do this sort of voice meme because I realized I didn't put my voice out there that often, which lead some people to inquire about my accent, so I decided to take questions from Tumblr dot com. So here they are!

Anon asks: What are some cool video games you first played this year?

"Gosh there's many... I feel like most games I've played this year have been good. Some underwhelmed and/or annoyed me, but no real stinkers I can think of. My favorites I think were Stardew Valley, Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age 2, Bayonetta, Fallout: New Vegas, Night in the Woods, Golden Sun and its sequel."  

Trish @ingleaisle asks a threefer: Adélie Penguins or Rockhopper Penguins? Fave citrus smell/look (since they're all gros, velvet-feeling, and inedible)? East or West Gastrodon?

"Uhh I feel like my honest answer to the first might be Adélie Penguins BUT with the eyebrows of the Rockhopper Penguins, but since that kinda chimera doesn't exist yet, I'll go with the vanilla Adélie. My favorite citrus smell would be boring lemons, because I am a w-word who steals them from their trees, and though my autistic mouth also finds them gross, they at LEAST smell clean, which I can’t really say for oranges.... As for Gastrodons... I think both are pretty good, but if a gun was put to my head I'd go with the East Sea, love that blue-green mix!"

Anon2 asks: How many active blogs do you have?

"Let's see, there's my main of course, Bisexualowain, then there's my Fire Emblem sideblog, currently Braveprincesslucina, my gaming sideblog, where I post my liveblogs, which is Owainsgamecorner, and then my not safe for work sideblog, which I will not name here, but that I assure you contains no less complaining than my others blogs."

User @sheseesthefuture asks: What would you say are your top 5 personal fave horror movies :?

"Really tough question. I do like horror as a genre a lot, buuut I feel like it's not even an uncommon opinion that... most of it is bad? But either way, I have a fondness for the Scream series, Halloween series, Hellraiser, Jacob's Ladder (which is a good, cerebral one) and... well this is a weird one but Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, which isn't scary all the time but still."

Anon 3 inquires something I was not expecting at all: do you think well see renewable energy overtake non renewable within our lifetimes?

"My hopeful side wants to say yes, because it's not like we don't have the tech ready, buuuut also I feel like capitalism is such a broken system that it just will not happen that easily… makes me angry just to think about it."

Moving on,

Wiz @heywizards asks another three-parter: What is the first video game that you played that you fell in love with and couldn't put down? Which video game genre is your favorite? How cute and great is Shane from Stardew Valley? :3c

"I would have to go with Pokémon Ruby, which was my first video game. I always wanted a system but I don't think my parents ever GOT them until the neighbor's kid got this, so they allowed me to ask for one for my birthday, and I loved that game so much... even though I didn't speak English at the time and got lost and sidetrack pretty much constantly. I somehow managed to beat Pokémon Crystal before it, even though I got Crystal like a month after.  I don’t think I'm MUCH of a genre person, I'm pretty adaptable as long as the game feels good, but I guess I'd say it's either RPGs or Survival Horror. As for the last one aaaa I’m already getting flustered just thinking about it, but Shane is such a wonderful character, both objectively and from his writing and due to the way I relate to him and besides, he's so cute and loving once you get past all the layers of self-hatred and insecurity... but even those make him very human in a way that's attractive to people with similar struggles and all, I guess. I love him so much!"

Anon 4 asks: Hey Jack! Do you play Fire Emblem Heroes? And if so, who's your favorite unit?

"Heya! Yes I do! For the longest time my phone didn't support it, because it was a dino, but I recently got a new one that DOES run it. I think you'd need to follow my sideblogs to see my posts about it though. But uhh my favorite unit is definitely Cain. He's the one I was looking forward to the most since before getting the game, and I was so SO lucky to summon him super early, haha! He's just really handsome and charismatic... plus he seems to be having a good time in it, as opposed to his last outing in FE12 when he was dealing decidedly with a lot. I also really love Festival Dancer!Olivia and Lady of Ballads!Azura, along with Brave Princess!Lucina, which I guess you could gather from my naming of my sideblog."

Ohhh alright this one... @calamitaswrath requests me to recite the opening narration to "Avatar: The Last Airbender"

"Alright here goes nothing! Sorry for my enunciation, because I didn't grow up with the english version, but: Water... Earth... Fire... Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. And although his airbending skills are great, he still has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can change the world... save the world. thaat sucked.

Anon 5 asks what my favorite second generation units from FE14 are?

"In no particular order: Ophelia, Shiro and Rhajat."

Then Liesel @florinian asks: pick a character you love and what's one way in which you and this character are alike and one way in which you're different?

"I'm gonna subvert expectations a little here and pick Leliana from Dragon Age. I love her to death, but I'm about the least religious person I know, short of actually being an atheist (I'm agnostic for reference) and though that one's more setting-specific detail I also haaaaate Andrastianism. The way I'm similar to her is that I like to believe the best in other people and I wanna change when compared to the way I used to be, and just like in her story, I don't want to see myself becoming the people who've hurt me... sorry if that got kinda deep, oops."

Anon 6 says: Do you have rarepairs you wish weren't rarepairs?

"Rarepairs… that’s a funny word. Doesn't everyone? I feel like the one that comes to mind right now would be Mathilda/Sonya, which I kiiiiind of built myself? Other people ship it now independently of my influence and that's pretty cool, but I was definitely the… definitely the earliest earliest, so that's kinda something I'm proud of. I just think they'd gel pretty well together and could work on issues with mutual support, if only they ever interacted…"

Lastly, Ayla @gentleralts asks me what my quirk would be if I lived in the BNHA world.

“I’m kind of a sap when it comes to questions like this, and I usually pick teleportation, but I feel like that’s too vanilla for BNHA, so I guess the drawback would be that if someone were to shut my passage through time and space I would just get totally quantum-fucked… so if Horikoshi wants to kill me this way, I guess he has an out.”

And that’s about it… I’ll probably hate listening to this later but… fingerguns tchau tchau.
