#THIS LONG ASS REPLY !!!!!

[forallthoseweary]

hey uh- hi.

*have a sad looking Randal!! There’s a completely inconspicuous little pile of fog at his feet!!*

Sorry about the other day. That was- i shouldn’t have done that. I know it’s something you’re sensitive about and I took advantage of it so- I’m sorry.

*he hands will all the clothes he’s lended him*

…I thought you might want these back.

-@ask-randal-magnus

He takes the clothes, looking at them for a long while. His expression is mostly blank and, for a moment, it seems as though he isn’t going to reply.

“I’m— Not just going to say ‘it’s fine’ and move on. I’ve learned better. What you did back there was an asshole move, otherworldly powers or not. I just— Respect my boundaries from now on, yeah? I’ve been trying so hard on my end only for you to start up an argument over something that is entirely reasonable to want to ignore. This—”

He sighed, taking a second to collect himself.

“We won’t work out if we get into fights over things all the time. There were faults on my end as well and I’ll admit that. I shouldn’t’ve snapped so quickly. I should’ve kept my temper in check and talked it through.”

“That being said, I forgive you. And I love you, there’s no need to act like one argument at the very start of our relationship ruins it entirely.”

He stands up from where he had been sitting, setting the clothes down and slowly taking Randal’s hand into his own.

I have been following your work since the beginning. At first I just really liked your sense of humour and analysis of MDZS, but with time I started to really enjoy watch your progress in this drawing journey. I just watched your animatic and just wanted to say that I'm really happy for you, you're a really inspirational person.

I usually don't comment in anything and it's just because I'm really awkward about commenting. But I'm always accompanying your posts and seeing your notifications always make me smile, please continue with your good work!

(English isn't my first language, sorry for any mistakes)

Thank you very much! I've seen you around for a long while; I sincerely appreciate your support, no matter what form it takes!

The fact that so many people don't see the bottom Oscar vision is baffling to me

Okay we saw baby Rappa with Faye but what about like… ACTUAL Rappa. I’m just imagining her showing up at Faye’s shop one day talking what seems to be complete nonsense but it’s her just. Super excited to meet Silvergun Shura’s lady??? Also Faye absolutely fixed Rappa’s hoverboard thingy and then gets an uptick in customers because Rappa makes graffiti advertisements in some places in her town in as thanks.

faye grew up as the baby of her family, so rappa would instantly be like the younger sister she never had. faye would also call her by her japanese name, ranha. she'd find rappa's way of speaking to be very endearing and wouldn't be at all shocked by it as boothill would have mentioned it to her before. seeing rappa mimic boothill's mannerisms would make her heart swell with so much love for the two of them, i don't think she'd be able to contain her urge to smother both of them with a big hug if they were all hanging out together. faye is also bilingual, so i thought it'd be funny to have them speaking broken japanese with each other. (side note: i didn't realize they were both cropped top and whale tail girlies until drawing them together ;w; ouughh i love them)

bonus:

if rappa did end up advertising the shop, i don't think faye would have been made aware of it. so one day, the two lone mechanics of the small repair shop would just be completely overwhelmed by the new clients (they should probably look into finding more mechanics to hire or something)

[identifying-cellphones-in-posts]

I don't know if this allowed but can you identify my two phones?

Typically I don't do personal challenges cause I feel like they're 'gotcha' bait and because they don't really go with the whole bit I'm going for lol

BUT I will answer this one cause it's easy. First pic is most likely an S24 Ultra (or S23U, or maybe S22U, they all look almost identical), and the second one is definitely an S9 Plus because it's written on the back of the case lol 🤭

Mixing two Fandoms but which link do you think would get along the best with Innes?

I'M LOSING MY MIND OVER THIS ASK ANON OOOUGH I actually did draw a lot of sketches to go with it but my yapping got so long I decided to upload those pics in a separate post tomorrow, so I can yap here freely lol

super long yapping incoming by the way lmao

Ok so, for my loz oomfs who aren't versed into fire emblem, innes is a semi plot relevant character from the game fire emblem: sacred stones for the gba

Innes is an overconfident, proud, blunt, brash, smart, perfectionist, super tsundere crown prince, he's known to be the best archer and tactician in the entire continent, and yet, no matter what he does, he is always compared and is always somehow second best to Ephraim, the prince from the neighboring kingdom

Which is why the headcanon that Innes' brash and egotistical/overconfident attitude is actually to mask his huge inferiority complex towards Ephraim makes sense to me lol also Innes has a one-sided rivalry with Ephraim, he is obsessed to show him he's the best prince, much to Eph's annoyance lol

This is him, i want y'all to look at how pretty he is, I would die for him, but i'd also put him in a blender and then analyze him under a microscope

ANYWAY now that the intro to my bestie (innes) is done, the Link I believe he'd get along with best is probably Wars lol

I was thinking that maybe he could get along with Legend but Innes would probably hate Legend, like Leg is too similar personality wise but lacks Innes' extreme overconfidence and bluntness and also, Innes would probably see himself too much in Legend and like, I don't think he'd be gentle, like "oh you are mean to mask ur emotional insecurities too?? I will be EXTRA MEAN back instead of bonding over it" kinda way lmao classic innes, which would make everything worse lmao anyway keep those two away

Now, for Wars, I can see it, but like, hear me out first

Innes means well, he is actually pretty soft under his thousand layers of pride and bluntness, but he has zero charisma, and thus interacting with the more soft/nice Links would result in disaster, in Innes' game the only people he has supports with are the ones who talk back to him and are mean to him back, I've always liked the idea that softness and niceness puts him off a lil bit, he feels more comfortable with people who can respond to his banter lol

Now, Innes actually really likes and respects a character named Gerik, who's the best mercenary in the continent and who's under Innes' command but speaks to him freely

Innes respects him and actually admires Gerik and seeks out advice to him, another one of innes' subordinates is Vanessa, and Innes also likes her cause despite Vanessa being under his command, she also speaks freely to him

I can see something like that happening with wars, like wars is an army captain, a tactician, a perfectionist and also uses his overconfidence and pride as a way to mask his trauma and imposter syndrome, like they're pretty similar with the big difference that wars has like extreme charisma while innes doesn't lmao also wars isn't blunt or brash, but he can banter and reply back

Which is why I feel they'd get along best, Innes is a prince, but his entire inferiority complex is cause a fellow prince, his equal, is better than him

Wars is an army captain and not royalty, even if Wars were to be better at stuff than Innes, I don't think Innes would like, see him as a threat to his abilities since Wars isn't royalty and thus isn't an equal to him lmao

Wars would know how to handle Innes since he knows his way around nobles and royalty, Innes would probably really like Wars' perfectionism and attention to detail and also his leadership skills

I can see them exchanging tactics and comparing strategies, they'd both probably geek out over it lol

I can see Innes being his blunt brash mean self towards wars a couple of times and wars not replying back cause like, Innes is a prince and Wars is just a captain, but I like to think wars probably replies back someday and throws some banter Innes' way and oh that's settles.it, he is now Innes' fave lmao

I feel like Innes could absolutely banter with legend too, but they'd be hurtful to each other, I can see innes having playful banter with wars though, like wars would know how to deal with blunt royalty he can play innes like a fiddle lmao

Also, I can see innes going into a long rant about his younger sister, tana, and wars relating and ranting about linkle back and yeah, wars is innes' fave alright lmao

Anyway, yeah... sorry for this super mega hyper long reply I am....very unwell for innes lmao

Chef greg delivery just for you. it's a wonder I hadn't bearified him yet, he's my fave greg too 🔪

i actually thought i was alone thinking that sylus had way less cards compared to the other guys in lads, but seeing that you think so too makes me feel better but also sad? why is it like this 🥺😔

NOOOOOO this is a widely discussed topic in the LaDS fandom !!

Loads of fans have done the math and noticed the discrepancies between Sylus and the other LI's. He was only just recently given a 4 star banner with MC depicted in the art, whereas the other guys have upwards of maybe 4 or 5 each ?? Zayne, Xavier, and Rafayel are the OG LI's so I understand why they would have more stuff like that.

BUT when Caleb debuted, he was released with a full range of stellactrum banners. I distinctly remember being annoyed that Sylus' first ever yellow stellactrum card was hidden behind a paywall– you couldn't just pull for it. By now I think the two of them have the same number of banners and anecdotes (don't quote me on that), but the time it took for Caleb to get that amount of content vs. Sylus is crazy.

Sylus came out July of 2024. Caleb came out January of this year. The devs put the pedal to the metal to get Caleb's content sorted, meanwhile Sylus has been out for 9 months and I'm still eating CRUMBS. CRUMBS I SAY !!!

All of that to say: I also wish he had more banners. Everyone that mains him wishes he had more banners. I've seen event speculations/projections on Twitter and Red Note, and it looks like he won't be getting a new myth or anything like that until maybe the end of the year ?? Gnashing my fucking teeth together over that, but it is what it is :'))

i find people are very weird towards the thought of george being nd in any way i just don’t understand why though

Because they are thinking of neurodivergency as a shield from the criticism they have of him, most prominently the idea that he is lazy and not fit to be a content creator because he is not suplying his fanbase with enough content and thus his fanbase is undeserved. But obviously and whether or not he is neurodivergent or not, the qualities they claim him to have are just a negative lense to comorbidities he presents. executive dysfunction, trouble focusing, perfectionism to the point of not doing anything are things you can find in adhd autism ocd addictions ptsd etc. these are just things that happen to people with different disorders and literally just Observing how george behaves in social contexts is how you understand he is most likely to have audhd than other neurodivergencies (per example, his thing with smell or the way he speaks). when you are talking about laziness, you are describing a not action that can be caused by a million things, like decision fatigue, being overwhelmed by sensory input, or a lack of motivation in life. Understanding neurodivergency as a series of things that your brain does differently than what you were led to believe was the norm is like step one of becoming less bigoted, but it is important to go beyond in that understanding and comprehend that the way your brain works is the way you understand and Behave in the world, and no amount of Studying What Normal People Do changes that basis. Some folks think that a neurodivergency stamp is a way to allow someone to just not do shit with their lives and have no agency and thus no responsabilities, and some nd people even internalize this and act entilted for this reason. I think that people are seeing these very clearly neurodivergent traits in a negative fashion and at the thought of being bigoted they're simply lashing back because they think their reasons to resent george are greater than the change of being a bad person, and also "allowing" george to be neurodivergent means they "must" give him more grace. I think there's also this weird vibe in some anons I've seen where george being neurodivergency means that now everyone must be kind to him and like I think we should be kind to him regardless. I wouldn't care if george didn't make content ever again tee bee ache I would miss him and his content era but it's not a requirement for me to talk about him fondly and I don't think him being neurodivergent makes it that it's more "acceptable" he is not producing things. he is simply a guy who does content because he likes to and if that ever changes then it will be sad but we will all move on. And I think you can disagree on that on principle that ccs Owe us content but I will never live life that way I can't conceptualize how that is your truth but I do not care to think about it further than accepting that I understand content differently than other people in our fandom. TLDR I think that people should read more recent literature on the ever evolving nature of neurodivergency and well some people would call me ableist for asking people to read more so. I actually don't have a tldr i am so using that concept wrong. Also while I just said I have read about this most of my conception on audhd comes from being autistic and living with very autistic people and also not knowing about this til I was like 16

I feel like, a while back, there was a discussion about Leman Russ constantly giving his beloved puppies. Just way too many puppies. And I can totally imagine his sons doing the same with their girlfriends/wives.

But now I'm thinking about a similar situation with Vulkan and the Salamanders. But instead of puppies, it's literal children. Like, they cannot stop adopting orphans.

Salamander's wife: "Honey! I'm so glad your home- oh not again."

Salamander: "Just look at her! She was cold and alone and scared and I couldn't leave her behind."

Salamander's wife: *sighs* "Fine. But you're going to have to expand the nursery. We're running out of room."

Salamander: "Wonderful! I love you and our children so much! By, the way here are her three little siblings too."

this is hilarious XD

[coldslaws-gear-station]

Soooo this is a bit awkward to say, but do you mind explaining the Lance arcs in the manga to me like I'm five really quick..? I never read those ones and I have zero clue how it goes, which low-key fucks up Eurynome's lore (which I'm fiddling with rn) and I'm sure you also have headcanons with the story that'll need to be integrated 😅

Also I'm trying to establish a timeline in a way, hense the fiddling. I've changed Eurynome's story into being founded in the viridian forest at 10, then raised in viridian city where she left at 16. I've also changed from her first Pokemon being mew to it being Gothitelle, it just makes more sense? But imma need all the deats with Lance, ramble to me please I actually need it--

this is doubly awkward. i have Not read the yellow-hgss portions of spe.. ive mentioned a couple times before that nhp (and a bit of rh) specifically used to be tied to the blogs of a friend, those of which focused mainly on gsc & hgss spe, who's since lost interest in pkm totally. and now it's sorta just up to me to fill in the blanks and even retcon a bit of it now that this friend is no longer really in the picture of my stories, because basically our lore was practically made in halves (i did half (unova), friend did half (johto)) that were totally enmeshed. so that is to say i never read lance and silver's stuff and relied on the retellings/hcs of my friend, and im not intimately familiar with what goes on in lance's side of things but i can give you the vaguest of rundowns. i am sorry 🙏

i guess this is the cautionary tale of intertwining lore with friends. but honestly i really enjoy what the concept of alder and lance being related has been able to do for ideas and stuff so i don't wholly regret it, it just sorta makes everything tricky now and is also why ive been keeping lance & co relegated to the bg. for one it just sorta makes me sad to try and portray silver and lance myself. and two i just genuinely don't know wtf im talking about for a LOT of lance's story..

but also hey at least it makes in character sense for alder to be cagey about exactly what went down LMAO

anyways as for the rundown

basically lance is a villain for about half or 3/4ths of his duration in spe. he has a whole N Moment where because he can hear the voices of pokemon he decides humans need to super majorly die rn and goes terrorist mode to get it done. so lance blows up like half of vermillion city with a help of a dragonair or dragonite (idr which one) and infiltrates both the team rocket and the e4 (which in spe, is already compromised by rocket if im not mistaken, like half the gym leaders and all of the e4 are evil in yellow istg)

then also similar to n has a come to jesus moment through the power of repeatedly getting her ass kicked by teenagers and is no longer committing murder but still kinda hates people, prior to gsc if im not mistaken. it's through hgss that lance seems to fully stop the hating people thing and chill out a bit via helping stop pryce from destroying the world

so that's the manga canon. and im aware that ive made time itself a bit fucked up and evil by the fact that i haven't really set specific years for everything that happens. honestly i kinda lost track of how much older n is than silver, which makes it WAY harder to figure out where exactly johto is, events-wise. silver gets kidnapped at age 2 which is what causes team rocket to start, and n is 8 currently. i think silver was a teenager as n was in their 20s so depending on how much of a teenager he was exactly, silver could probably already be born in rh, though probably not already kidnapped, therefore team rocket doesn't exist yet. which does throw a wrench in literally everything because before lance ever blows up vermillion he is already in the e4 which is already compromised by rocket, yet vermillion is already destroyed in rh because lance was put in a psych ward as a result. so. basically that's me saying ive created an impossible timeline /lh

we can finagle a bit and say lance did that before sneaking into rocket or whatever since again. rocket doesn't really exist yet. i never really liked the concept of the kanto pml being totally evil anyways. crooked, maybe, considering they'd allow a terrorist in, but idk! anyways yeah. im sorry that was a really lackluster and confusing reply. basically since ive mapped out so little with lance's timeline, when it comes to eurynome you have a good bit of wiggle room to figure stuff out, and if you have any suggestions of your own feel free to say em :]

also just as an aside lance and alder were also born in viridian forest, hence the pokemon talk abilities. it's just sorta spe canon that if you're born there you can hear pokemon in some capacity, and even heal them by touch which i omitted from lance and alder and such. but yeah that's all

I'm glad they left the casualty toll up for player interpretation because for better or worse at least it keeps people discussing DA2

If not this what else is left....do yall think Merrill uses the same ball of twine to find her way around town or does she buy a new one every day

me reading the replies i wrote when i was wine drunk last night

[greenbergsays]

not to be cliched, but we need an episode of eddie in el paso running into an old school friend whom he had a baby crush on but, bc of his home life/upbringing, he repressed that so hard & he convinced himself he was only straight when he eventually fell for shannon. eddie comes to term with his (bi? demi?) sexuality, mends bridges with Chris, & they all move back to LA just in time for him to realize he's in love with Buck

I've seen conflicting takes on whether or not this would be a good thing and I don't have any really big feelings on it myself, but I do think it's an easy way to show that these feelings aren't new for Eddie and the writers often go the unsubtle, easy way to show certain things to the audience, so it's not outside the realm of possibility

But, ya know, whatever they do, I can live with it as long as we get unapologetically gay Eddie Diaz at the end of it, I need him to be gay and I need for him to be happier for realizing/acknowledging it

I don't want turmoil for him on that front, I want it to be a joyful thing, which, y'know. I think they're heading towards that? With all the talk of joy and juice in 8A.

So here's to hoping???
