🐀 Big rat meet li’l guy ★
(ID: Kirby series fanart of Shadow Kirby hanging out and interacting with Storo. Top - Storo and SK standing side-by-side carrying hammers, the rat looking over in wide-eyed surprise to see the puffball proudly hoisting up a hammer almost twice his size in one hand, a blue-and-white rope headband on his head. Bottom left - Storo sitting on the ground, leaning back slightly on one hand and holding up a bashful-looking SK in the palm of the other, a though bubble over his head showing the image of a basketball. Bottom right - SK and Storo wearing chef hats and standing side-by-side at a counter, the rat pinching his fingers in a chef’s kiss pose and lifting a cloche to reveal a plate of tasty-looking omurice, the puffball gazing at the dish in starry-eyed wonder. END ID.)

on the subject of piano practise...
Playing chords with my left hand is not nearly as difficult as playing chords with my right. My fingers on my left are all pretty free from one another and don't do anything I don't want them to do, but on my right, my ring finger reaally REALLY wants to do whatever my pinky is doing. It does not like holding itself even a millimetre higher lmao
I assume photoshop hotkeys and WASD + mouse gaming controls are to thank for my left handed dexterity lmfaooo
My right hand is frustrating me, tho....so I guess I'm just gonna be playing random chords with it as a general exercise for a while until I can get my fingers to move independently from one another. I wonder how much of that is building muscle memory, and how much of that is building...actual muscle...

still in my month long aminata moment. oops
“In that moment, against all reason, Aminata felt like she was in a fleet of two, a navy of her and Baru: she had just been promoted to Grand Admiral, captain of everything she had ever wanted.”
[ID: A digital painting of two dark-skinned women. One, Aminata, is dressed in red. She faces Baru, sat upon a white throne, looking down at her. An abstract ocean swirls behind Aminata, in shades of deep blue. Simple boats are drawn among the swirls in white. Aminata is nearly swept up in the waves, and Baru is not touched by them. END ID]

Alastor Has NPD Because I Said So: A Shitty Analysis
Grandiose sense of self-importance. Overestimating their capabilities or holding themselves to unreasonably high standards.
Bragging or exaggerating their achievements.
It's pretty clear he thinks highly of himself. I like to think that not only does he love radio, but, being The Radio Demon, he believes himself to be heavily associated with it as if it's part of him. So when he gloats about radio being a superior medium of self expression, he's speaking about himself as well.
He was gone for seven years, and it's pretty blatant that he expects everyone else to care about that. Even if he would most certainly not give a true answer had he been acknowledged, he's desperate for that "where have you been" attention, and gets pissed when it's not received. He just naturally assumes he's important enough that other overlords would be concerned about his absence.
Assuming his smile is something he chooses to do (ignoring the stitch mark theories), it's a very visible high standard he holds himself to, and according to Viv, it's something he judges others for as well. Even alone, he refuses to drop his smile.
Frequent fantasies about having or deserving success
The finale song showcases this well, as he outright states that he wants power/control, to be "holding all the strings"
Belief in superiority. Thinking they’re special or unique.
Believing they should associate only with those they see as worthy.
This goes pretty hand in hand with what I wrote in point one tbh. It seems evident that he's picky about who he's friends with as well, for example he only associates with Charlie for power.
Need for admiration. Fragile self-esteem.
Frequent self-doubt, self-criticism or emptiness.
Preoccupation with knowing what others think of them.
Fishing for compliments.
This is more of an internal thing, which can be hard to see in a character that hides his emotions so heavily. But you can see hints of it in his reaction when his commercial is criticized, he's proud and asks for feedback, and immediately reacts negatively and gets defensive upon criticism.
He had a breakdown over the thought of his image being tainted for saving his 'friends', he's less worried about his actual injury and rather the humiliation of being defeated over something so uncharacteristic of him.
Entitlement. Inflated sense of self-worth.
Expecting favorable treatment (to an unreasonable degree).
Anger when people don’t cater to or appease them.
The first point is basically what I already spoke about, I don't think he really expects favorable treatment (perhaps internally, but he doesn't demand it)
That last point can be showcased with how he reacts to Lucifer, who didn't acknowledge him at all and criticized his work. He was obviously pretty openly pissed when Lucifer wasn't sucking up to him and his work.
Willingness to exploit others. Consciously or unconsciously using others.
Forming friendships or relationships with people who boost their self-esteem or status.
Deliberately taking advantage of others for selfish reasons.
Do I need to say more than Charlie :/ and also like everyone ever that he interacts with 😭
Lack of empathy. Saying things that might hurt others.
Seeing the feelings, needs or desires of others as a sign of weakness.
Not returning kindness or interest that others show.
Yeah I don't think the guy who hurts people for a living cares too much about hurting others-
And of course back to the smile thing, he sees anyone who doesn't mask as heavily he does as weak, he looks down on those who display their emotions so openly.
Frequent envy. Feeling envious of others, especially when others are successful.
Expecting envy from others.
Belittling or diminishing the achievements of others.
I don't actually see too much of this symptom in him, though I think it's more of an internal thing for the most part.
Arrogance. Patronizing behavior.
Behaving in a way that’s snobby or disdainful.
Talking down or acting condescendingly.
He seems to act most condescendingly around Vaggie, especially in the pilot, he's downright disrespectful. His interactions with Charlie upon trying to cheer her up comes off as very patronizing too.
