Sunday and his weird infatuation with your thorax.

I just noticed, in your HHStargazers AU no one has pupils - except for Alastor and, if she's canon, Carmilla. Does that mean slit pupils are a sign of a demon in disguise?

Good eye! 👈👈👀 (Pun unintended.) Though I don't really plan for this trait to be repeatedly shared amongst the disguised demons. Mostly to not limit my designs to an obvious tell. But the slit pupils were indeed intentional flaws I added in for those two in particular. Because according to MY headcanon, both angels and demons are beings beyond human comprehension. Thus, it's only to be expected that even when they TRY to fit in, they'll be unable to keep EVERY aspect of their uncanny nature concealed. At best, they're imperfect imitations of what "normal" should be. It just so happens that in my AU, angels have a much easier time concealing most of their little quirks and oddities away than the sinners for my own reasons and as for WHY no one ever grew suspicious of the eye thing, it's because Charlie's curiosity could be easily curved. While for Lucius to point this out, he'll have to admit that he's been staring at Alastor's eyes a lot whenever he gets close enough to drown in the depths of his gaze and- EHEM!!! Which he's NEVER done, mind you! AhahaHAH- What slit pupils??? Never noticed those before. Nuh-uh. NO siree. NOPE! Lucius is normally so, SO normal about Alastors VERY much normal eyes in a TOTALLY normal amount of normal. A-ANYWAAAYS!!! Lucius would also be a hypocrite if he was bothered by them considering his own occupation and the people he's usually surrounded by (yet to be revealed). As for the other humans, Alastor doesn't care enough about their opinions for it to be a threat to him and people often just avoid the guy unnerving them with his creepy ass stare. So it's all good! Hope you like these bonus fun facts! 'Cause I have a feeling I left you with just as much questions as answers, but that's the fun of an ongoing story, yeah? Stay tuned~! 😉✨️ -Bubbly💙

the webisode “An Hexclusive Invitation” aka faybelle’s introduction webisode pisses me off so bad

and it’s all because of how they introduce her. hopper comes up to her and they proceed to have this unnatural sounding conversation where they force-feed information in regards to faybelle. which yeah a lot of media does but ever after high literally has NARRATORS, CHARACTERS THAT SERVE AS PLOT DEVICES AS AN EXCUSE TO SPOON FEED EXPOSITION, and yet they DIDN’T USE THEM instead opting to talk through the characters like bro ARE YOU SERIOUS???

instead we need hopper asking, “Hey are you Faybelle Thorn daughter of the dark fairy from Sleeping Beauty and head cheerhexer at the school Ever After High from hit series Ever After High?,” and faybelle telling him, “Yes, I am Faybelle Thorn daughter of the dark fairy from Sleeping Beauty and head cheerhexer who attends the school Ever After High from hit Mattel franchise Ever After High and i’m an evil character.”

Kipperlily's grades are incredible all the way through. But what you notice is that her accomplishments. In freshman and sophomore year are pretty lackluster. They chose adventures that were not that impressive.

They just wanted to succeed. So they picked easy adventures.

I feel like this is a pretty big reason for the conflict between the bad kids and Rat grinders. Especially kipperlily. It's clear she wants to be a great adventurer. But lacks confidence. While the bad kids seemingly just fall into adventures. I mean they probably don't seem to motivate to kipperlily. Some of them flake on classes. And they never even went to the far heaven woods. Which probably seemed like they were just blowing it off. Then prompocalype roll around and this kids who didn't even seem to be trying save the day?

It's basically the reason a really shy person. Who is self conscious is going to resent a super confident person. A person who wants to be an adventurer but is too scared? Is going to resent people who just seem to do it?

I really do hope that the upcoming elder scrolls game includes “immortal” characters from Skyrim or other titles (Neloth, Serana, Teldryn, etc) instead of starting on a completely clean slate.

When games have little character bits about previous titles in them and uses that to build more of a story, it’s really entertaining.

This can look like:

•Character from title 1 had an interest in magic, in title 2 they become an evil magician.

•Character death is implied in title 2, but their family can be found and introduced as new characters.

•Child character from title 1 is seen in title 2 as an adult with a good story.

•A book, item, artefact or overheard dialogue referencing a character from a previous title, shedding light on what might’ve occurred with them after the events of title 1.

It would be awfully satisfying if they made Neloth some sort of wicked character, he deserves that for all of this troubles.

On the other hand, I think it’s very unlikely that characters and bits from Skyrim specifically will be revisited, though it’s nice to think of. Ramble over.

Ok. Watched dungeon meshi recently .... and why did noone tell me Falin is also autistic??

Like. Yes yes, all the mob vs laios autism polls are fun, but mob is so much more similar to Falin than Laios -  not just in how their autism manifests, or their personality, but like..... they're even both extremely powerful in their magical fields!! They both see and communicate with ghosts!!! They both ride the line between human and monstrous!!!! I love them so much...

But. If we're talking comparisons, between Mob and Laios...

I really think they're two sides of a coin. None is better than the other, they do vastly different things and are great in their own rights because of it.

Laios is an adult with autism who is surrounded by people who are annoyed by his presence or generally find him strange or offputting. He highlights the struggle of that, how hard it can be to find and keep true friends that actually care about you and aren't lying about just tolerating you when you're neurodivergent - and how even when you have great knowledge or skill in something, just as often it helps you, it will also make people look at you weird. He's loud. He's unapologetic. He's passionate!!! And the right people will come to appreciate that. But it doesn't erase the struggle that being so open often comes with.

Mob's narrative, on the other hand, is a coming of age story. It's about a traumatized autistic kid who isn't open, isn't loud, who makes an effort to not stand out - because he got burnt in the past, and he himself burnt others in the past, as a result of how his autism manifests. And it's about how he comes to realize that coming out of that shell is worth it. That there will be kind people waiting on the other side, that you're not doing anyone any good by ignoring your own wants and needs. That you have good to offer to the world!! That there's good people to meet !!! That you have more strength in yourself than you think !!!! And how even at your most destructive, all your flaws and true colors revealed, mask finally off .... your friends will still love you. Because you were always yourself. Even when you were hiding.

They do different things.

Dungeon meshi is a more realistic story - there's no otherwordly psychic powers amplifying the autistic symptoms present. It's just a weird, wonderful autistic man with his encyclopedia of knowledge and his small gaggle of friends. And the autism may not be absolutely central .. but it's there. Following the story every step of the way, influencing it that way or the other.

Mob Psycho 100 on the other hand is a lot more fantastical, and a lot more idealistic. There's no heavy worldbuilding to dive into, and the monsters and antagonists they face aren't the main course - instead, the main focus is on Mob, and his inner world, and gradually revealing more of it. In that way - while DM is an 'outside looking in' kinda story, mp100 is an 'inside looking out' one.

And I love both of them.

(Keep in mind I haven't read the dungeon meshi manga yet, just watched the anime ;^^ so I'm sorry that there's probably a lot more to add to the comparison on that front. Please don't spoil in the notes tho!!)

I did wonder at some point WHY Arlecchino is potrayed as a bunny, especially when the game has tried to paint her as a wolf in a sheeps clothing (despite it turning out to be the other way around), but then a friend pointed out a certain thing about rabbits.

Which links so well with her own story quest

She plucks off her own "fur" so her kids can have a nest (which is entirely subjective to what the kids wants (stay in the house or live a new life))

[xxacidnekoxx]

There is kinda a point at painting where you realize you can just use any color you want at all times and honestly I haven't thought about color theory in like 7 years ever since I learned value is the real thing to pay attention to

thinking cove is such a sassy man and 50% of the reason why is his banter(?) with liz growing up bc duh older sister in law figure

45% of it is mc and 5% is lee so basically the last family is responsible for what he’s become 🤭

-🗑️

LITERALLY he had to fight back against liz's (and lee's (occasional)) teasing!!! n it's just natural since he and MC have been around each other their whole lives, so of course he's gonna learn how to tease you back n mess with you

love to think that as he gets older, 40s, 50s... he's not such a blushing maiden anymore, although of course you can still get him to blush- it's just in his nature to blush when you tease/compliment him..

but now, there's a good chance he'll hit you with an even better quip and leave you flustered, embarrassed, laughing. whatever.

oh my fucking God. i just had a thought.

Liz bringing up how she essentially helped you guys get together. referencing step 2 when she was calling him your baby boyfriend, or when she teased you two during the road trip about getting married to each other

n fucking imagine cove, just relaxing.. leaning on the counter, peeling his orange.. and he just smirks, and goes "yknow what. you're right, liz. it turned out to be a great idea." and he nods to your rag-tag group of children in the living room behind her

she'd be so shocked (no one can ever get used to cove's quick, witty quips, too used to teasing him n enjoying him flounder.) but it'd get such a good laugh outta her n you

(if the kids heard though, regardless if they're slow on the uptake, they piece it together n their faces are all scrunched up in disgust.😂😂)

SCREENWRITING

Could you possibly elaborate more on your EQ movies?? I'm really interested in this Cove Sunset... 👀

oh yeah actually i would love to talk more about that! so basically i wrote two movies intended to be the penultimate and the final installment in the Equestria Girls series since that’s definitely never going to get an official ending. i wanted to tie up loose ends…

i made a poster for the second one of the two that i made a few years back right here. but anyway…

the first of the two is called “Royal Nightmare.” the premise is as follows: it’s now spring of the girls’ senior year, and rarity has made the decision to run for queen of the spring fling after being robbed by sunset she tried to run for princess years ago. but when rarity gets possessed by dark magic, sunset has to confront her repressed baggage from the past if she wants to save her friend before it’s too late.

basically, this one deals a lot with sunset’s past with rarity. the film has a mix of the events taking place in the present day as well as flashbacks to the past, being the girls’ freshman year. it covers stuff like sunset arriving for the first time, her meeting flash, how she rose to power, and what she did to rarity (i changed it up just a tad because the junior novelization is a Weird book). it also has a lot of focus on rarijack as well.

the other one, intended as a finale movie, is titled “Forever Friendship.” after finally graduating from canterlot high, the girls are about to move onto the next stages in each of their lives. however, sunset still has unfinished business in regards to herself. together, the girls set out on one last adventure to uncover the truth behind sunset’s family and the sunset from their world. but could this be end?

this one is basically, like, giving sunset closure. in it i explore sunset’s origin and the truth about the Other sunset shimmer. it has an entire conflict that revolves around a discussion of the moral dilemma that comes with having magic in the human world. at heart it’s about sunset finding her purpose once and for all. i can’t say much else without spoiling it.

royal nightmare is complete in THEORY but needs a lot of, like, extra fleshing out and possibly the addition of a few more scenes. also, forever friendship is now missing a song or two because i removed one scene entirely and instead repurposed the song for royal nightmare. also ALSO, they’re a bit old now and i approached them differently than i did when writing for ever after high. i wasn’t totally thinking about completely matching the tone and more about cinematics. it’s not that i bumped the ratings up, but i let dialogue be lengthy and… idk, nuanced? i guess? more so in forever friendship than royal nightmare, at least. and there’s probably an occasional typo in them both.

i would share them, but the thing that makes me hesitant is the fact that for the songs, i made an unlisted youtube playlist of myself singing them each just for people who read them to have reference when the scenes pop up. it wasn’t so embarrassing when it was just being shared between myself and my friends, but the audio is kinda bad and there’s no music it’s just me singing. i didn’t even have the same range as i wanted for some of the songs or the characters so i sound wonky in it. and i can’t redo it now because i’m older and my voice has dropped so that’s a no-go.

idk, maybe i could give in with enough convincing.
