Dating Sim where you start as Zeus and Hera's marriage counselor and as it becomes increasingly obvious that they need a divorce you get to date one of them

Regardless of which one you chose the other smites you so there's no good endings. They also get back together.

There's no good way for it to end. And that's what makes it funny.

Also that reminds me I did have an idea for a Greek god dating sims a while back but they were all women and it.

It was mostly because I wanted to design hot women based on the geek gods admittedly but I think Hera and Zeus routes both involved them flirting with you to spite each other

“Which canon character does your OC respect a lot?” And “Which canon character does your OC not respect at all?” For Cerise Landors-Tate and “Which canon character would be most likely to get a crush on your OC” for Fuyune Shimizu?

For Cerise the answer to those are both her dads. She respects Jack a lot for taking her in and his charity work, while does not respect Sky at all because he's a cop and a rule following nerd (she loves both of them dearly)

For Fuyune, the funniest answer IS Kotaro because we love giving him unfortunate crushes but as a bonus based on Fuyune's pre-being arrested for murder status as the girl all the sapphics at Miyajou are into I think if Minori was told she had to pick a girl she'd date that isn't Haruka, she'd say Fuyune

Do you have any example furry/anthro artwork?

This post made me dig out my old OC and actually design and thief outfit for her lol

Anyway this is Ryuko Saito, a 3rd Year at Kosei in the music department and member of the theater club.

While not on paper one of the clubs leaders she is de facto one since all the underclassmen listen to her and she's generally well-liked

Her thief Codename is Bard and I tried to go for like a rocker vibe. Her Persona, Pied Piper, specializes in Psy damage, plus healing and status moves.

My original concept for her persona was like it became a giant amp that she plugged her bass into but then I found out hypmic was a thing and got worried it was too derivative but also I Suck and designing personas Or like inhuman characters in general so that's what I have for now, *shrugs*

Anyway. Her

Need enough friends with Phantom Thief OCs to make an entire second team of Phantom Thieves

How does katya fit into ur main storyline?

She doesn't have a huge role, but she does feature a bit more than the other BATTs. As we know from the show she's been imprisoned multiple times for her eclectic tastes in fiction and general rebeliousness, and on one of those occasions, Murph (as The Rustwarden) was also being held at the Conformatorium. Murph broke out and destroyed a large section of the prison in the process, allowing other prisoners to escape, and Katya was one of them. When she returns to her friends she talks about a brave and dashing stranger in a mask that saved her, but she has no idea who it was. Their paths cross again a few years later once the rebel group is in full swing, and Katya is the one who convinces Murph to join their group. She nurses a little crush on them for a while but it doesn't last long once Steve shows up and Katya puts the pieces together - they do remain very close friends though, and Murph confides in her a lot. She is also cousins with Roscoe, one of my other OCs, which was my way of explaining how he ends up joining the BATTs as well

👋 I left you a comment on AO3 earlier on the AA prosecutor meta, but seeing as you did cover the one-off prosecutors in Investigations (as well as the Paynes), I'm curious about your thoughts on Lana Skye especially. I really like RFTA as a window into the legal system's politics, and Lana as a character is especially intriguing in comparison to the other prosecutors we defend (e.g. Edgeworth/Blackquill/Nahyuta/Barok) because we never actually face her in court...but they still draw on RFTA's themes and character beats for some of those cases, especially in 6-5 and DGS2.

Oh hello!! Awh thanks for reading my meta essays I wrote mostly in the span of two days! XD

Lana Skye is a very interesting one, mainly because, as you noted, we never see her prosecuting style in court and that's really one of the biggest ways I draw characterisation notes from our rivals in these games. Seeing how they are presented to us as obstacles and how we are meant to slowly warm up to them was my main goal with those lil essays, but I definitely got off track a bit hahaha.

(Got a bit carried away here, too, so. Read more!)

Lana is an interesting case, though. She's our first defendant (if you play these games in order from the ds release on) we're really unsure if we can fully trust. She is trying to confess to the crime, and only by the grace of Ema's belief in her does Phoenix also agree to believe in her. She's short with us and pushes us away, giving the distinct impression that something is pretty wrong.

However, we also get told multiple times that this isn't her usual personality. That she "changed" once she became Chief Prosecutor. So it's a little harder to grasp her personality on top of take anything she says with a degree of belief. Her actions are more about sowing seeds for the mystery of why she would be so determinedly trying to get convicted instead of establishing a solid character for her. We do get the sense that she's a hard nut to crack, that she cares too deeply for Ema, but otherwise her cold and stoic personality is a complete front, we're told. A means of pushing those who used to care for her further than arm's length to keep them from discovering what's happened, to keep them from getting caught up in the splash zone.

There's also the odd note that she was close with Jake and Neil Marshall enough so that Ema was fond of them, too. Specifically the Marshall brothers, not Angel Starr or Bruce Goodman. I always found this interesting because Lana kept Ema away from Gant, but didn't mind letting her get close to the Marshall brothers. Gant was far more dangerous, especially as we learn about his all but framing Ema for Neil's murder, but it's still an interesting thing of note that comes up once at the beginning and kind of never again.

Even when you finally get a chance to talk with Lana about Gant before the final day of the trial, she's still composed and cool. Still completely under control. It's not until Ema is actively in danger of being found guilty of murder does she lose it. The final day of the trial is her at her most desperation mode, renouncing Phoenix's defence and running for that Guilty verdict. She has to keep Ema safe no matter what and it's interesting that the game lets us ruin that for her! This is probably why there is a slight bad end scenario where we don't play our cards right; it's all in service of these high stakes and connects to Lana's own desperation.

It is another interesting note how, at the end of the second trial day, she admits to the forged evidence. She has realised, on some level, Phoenix will claw his way to the truth no matter what. So she admits to this thing she knows would just get proven anyway. She's the one to cause the uproar and delay the trial one last time. It's all a part of her cool and calculated control, but it's also an admission that we've done well to get this far. It's a victory, but one delivered the same way she stabbed Bruce Goodman's body. The only person spared was Gant; everyone is going down with her.

It really is a fascinating mindset to see. I'm not a huge fan of the whole "stoic woman smiling at the end to show she's come out of her shell" anymore because AA uses it a bit too much (when will we get the male equivalent, huh??? Blackquill and Barok were right there!!! Make them smile, damn it!!!), but it is refreshing to see that Lana no longer has to keep her heart frozen over. She ans Ema hugging is the MUCH better payoff, even as Phoenix waxes poetic right behind them. XD

So yeah!! Despite this case saying on the surface that we shouldn't trust Lana, it really leads us along to trusting and liking her pretty much from the start. She's compared to Mia, after all. She is also the only defendant to date to turn their back to us and I still think that's funny as hell.

I... had more to say than I thought!! Hope this satisfies a bit of what you wanted!!

Ah shit I missed that the finals were going on. I would have contributed to the propaganda (though Hilda does suck) Fun fact here are ptsd symptoms Alear shows at a quick glance and all of these are because of Sombron

Post-mortem propaganda I guess 😂 And yep all of these check out

[nexttrickanvils]

Bruh bruh I am so annoyed seeing everyone gobble up the Pokémon rip off. It's clearly someone wanting to be an Edgelord, "oh you can murder the not-Pokemon and you GRAPHICALLY HARVEST THEM! Oh you can treat humans like the not-Pokémon which here are your slaves and you get bonuses for destroying their mental health" and I haven't seen ANYONE describe like what the game says about it? Or even the harder battle system which it seems like based on the popularity of rom hacks and Nuzlockes is what older fans actually want?

Like I rolled my eyes with edgy murder Mickey Mouse but come on what is the appeal of Pokémon but with murder? Congrats you're as creative and have as much media literacy as PETA

I avoided talking about it for various reasons like I know there were people who interested for reasons other than "it's pokemon but edgey" and more monster catching games in pokemon's vein should be a good thing.

But after seeing the designs, some of the uglier aspects of the gameplay, the dev's cheerleading for AI, and seeing people ride the game's dick cause they wanna say fuck you to Nintendo. I'm just. I'm done being nice.

I hate the fact that it has this built in defense of "you just hate it because you're a Nintendo stan."

BITCH I DIDN'T EVEN BUY SCARVI BECAUSE OF ALL THE BUG AND PERFORMANCE REPORTS!

No, I hate it because it's the same tired jokes I've heard for over twenty years. I hate it's stupid sense of humor (oh the not-pokemon who wants to bang people is number 69, hardy har har.) I hate the designs of the not-pokemon especially since some of them do just look like pieces of established pokemon copy and pasted onto each other. (There are also accusations that they stole concepts from fakemon which given the AI accusations, would not surprise me.)

And I am not opposed to there being more pokemon-likes.

Competition is good.

But I would not be surprised if after the shock factor wears off, it just falls off. So uh, I don't think this is gonna be the shot in the arm to wake up Nintendo/The Pokemon Company.

#only small addition I have is you *know* some of the outsourcing of captions is being transferred to specifically Uber-style gig jobs#In fact I do know - I briefly attempted one a few years back!#And hearing that this stuff tends to require special training#puts into perspective why it was taking me multiple hours to caption one episode of television

@saxoboneless hope you don't mind me building off your tags, but yes this is 10000000% part of the problem! And is sort of what I was talking about when I mentioned people starting up "shitty little slopshops of people who can prove a high WPM rate to type up captions for a pittance."

For a while both before and after my job at the captioning company, I was inundated with "transcription jobs" that were basically just "can you type above 90-120 words per minute? can you hear things? take our placement test to see if you could do transcription!" And all these "companies" wanted was for you to have a home computer that you could type fast on, maybe some headphones, and that’s it. Oh, and the rates? One of the worst I remember seeing was $0.10 per word. Best I can remember seeing was around $0.30 per word. Absolutely abysmal.

For reference, that last paragraph is exactly 100 words. And depending on what you're transcribing or captioning, it could easily take an hour or more to do that little even with a stenotype machine and training. But they weren't asking for that. They just want some schmuck who doesn't know about the barebones regulations for captions, who doesn't know how hard a job captioning/transcription really is, and who will accept pennies to do it cuz they don't know better. So if you ended up spending an hour transcribing that 100 words of text, that's between $10-30 for that one hour. And with these companies, that could be all you get for a whole week.

(And that's if they even hired you in the first place—I applied to several in desperation before I got that captioning scheduler job, and even with a WPM that ranged from 90-110 depending on the day, I never once got hired. Sometimes it was a bad day and I made too many mistakes, sometimes they didn't say why they weren't taking me on. It was a complete toss-up.)

So it's only natural that eventually studios, production companies, etc. would completely bypass even that shoddy level of effort and go straight to places like Fiverr and get unprofessional captions for even cheaper. Because hey, at least they're getting captions! That's the law, they don't have to be great captions, they just have to exist. Cuz who cares about DHoH people's money and enjoyment?

And the fact that anyone can just go to a gig site and hire someone to do shitty captions for pennies is absolutely something that needs to be legislated against! It's not something that should be acceptable when it comes to disabled people's basic needs! The Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Justice (the latter is who oversees and enforces the Americans with Disabilities Act) NEED to make some strong changes to our national laws about the absolute bare minimum standards that should be met.

And while I think it's stupid that film/tv sound editing has gotten so bad that even people with perfect hearing and no auditory processing issues need captions now, the silver lining is that maybe now, more people will actually start taking these governing bodies to task about how garbage the standards and practices for captioning are and how much they need to be updated. They don't listen to actually disabled people, but maybe able-bodied and neurotypical people will be able to cause enough fuss to make them pay attention.

I, a hearing person who likes subtitles just as a preference, shouldn't have to read a subtitle that's obvious nonsense, go back a couple seconds, and listen again in order to figure out what's going on. An accessibility feature should not be the most half-assed part of a professionally made production. Scripted media has absolutely no excuse for not having subtitles or having subtitles that aren't perfectly verbatim. Professional captioning services should be ashamed of the shoddy work that they put out. Captions should be treated as a part of the production, just like filming, editing, audio balancing, etc - and anything that releases with missing or bad captions should be seen as unfinished

[yusuke-of-valla]

I'd point out that Narcissus is a narcsissist, not aroace, but, upon reflection, (WAHA!) I don't see why both can't be true.

OK SO

I'm not going to go on my whole big thing about this but basically it boils down to two things

Depending on the version of the myth the "falling in love with your reflection" thing is basically a punishment for not being interested in anyone romantically. Like the way I heard the myth growing up was like "oh he's such a big meanie for rejecting Echo how DARE he not be interested in her" and even sometimes "he HAS to be selfish because he is not attracted to anyone." The lack of romantic attraction is kind of key to the whole story, not being interested in people is the thing he does to deserve the punishment (in the versions when it is a punishment and not just. like. he found his reflection lol). I'm not gonna say "oh the original myth he's aroace" because that's not true but it's certainly a story that opens itself up to aroace interpretations?

IF WE CAN REIMAGINE EVERY OTHER FUCKING ACTUAL MURDERER AND FLESH EATING MONSTER IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY AS A POOR TRAGIC FIGURE WE CAN HAVE THE GUY WHO'S CRIME WAS BEING KIND OF A DICK TO OTHERS GET THE QUEER REIMAGINING

So yeah that's my whole thing about it, and obvs you're right he can be both a narcissist and aroace (though like. There are articles that will argue he's not a narcissist either and sigmund freud can go fuck himself but that's a whole other thing).

Also there's a whole thing about the demonization of npd that I'm just not qualified to really talk about but I think fits into this conversation somewhere

[chosen-hero-inari]

can i get flip-flop and small things for face down in the carpet i feel safe? :>

Fic here!

You ever read an old fic of yours and are 80% sure you wrote it before you were on antidepressants? Anyway!

♡ SMALL THINGS: pick a fic and I’ll tell you my favorite minor detail from it!

You know what I'm really proud of myself for not mentioning Madarame by name in this! Sometimes i worry I'm not getting the idea across well enough but i managed not to over-explain on this one

Oh also yeah this is when I was into the headcanon of Futaba projecting her own struggles with depression onto Yusuke and being really protective of him because she can see the Warning Signs and that comes up here.

↻ FLIP FLOP: send me a scene from one of my fics and I’ll describe or write it from another character’s POV!

Been in kind of a writing slump but i garuntee you there's a 30 minute conversation after Akira talks with Yusuke which essentially boils down to "no Futaba you can't go murder Madarame even though we agree he is a shit head." Akechi was choosing to not be helpful on purpose :)

For The Longest Time - Wally Clark x Reader

In which Wally convinces everyone to help with an anniversary present for Y/N.

The Longest Time - Billy Joel

Requests are open (Please send them in)

Warnings: cussing? fluff, mentions of death?

(slight AU! where Mr Martin and Janet didn't do all that and instead crossed over, Maddie was killed by Mr Anderson.)

Wally had been a bit distant for the last few weeks. Everyone had for that matter. Rhonda didn't come to the last few girl's nights, which you had attributed to her newfound friendship with Quinn. Charley was suddenly busy with Yuri, which you could not be happier about.

Maddie was normally distant anyways, so it wasn't a massive shock, but Wally had never been this distant in the 20 years you'd known him. Hell, he'd called dibs on being your guide when you died and practically refused to leave your side until Maddie got here. You'd assumed that he had finally chosen her, remembering you had never made whatever you two were official.

You tried to not think about it, not wanting to heighten any emotions any more than they already were. You made your way to the gym, hopeful to throw basketballs at the windows for a while since there wasn't any meetings that day. You were shocked, however, to find it locked with a note taped to the outside, "Ghost Project in Progress Do Not Enter"

"Are you shitting me?" you asked to nobody in particular, deciding to make your way to the football field instead. Golf clubs to the vending machines seemed a little more therapeutic anyways.

You make it almost all the way to the storage shed when you are intercepted by Maddie.

"Hey, can I talk to you about something?" She asked.

"Yeah, what's up? And can we have this conversation while destroying things? That's kinda what I came out here for." You ask in return.

"About that. I kind of need you to come with me," She replied.

You let your head fall back with an exaggerated groan, shoulders dropping heavily.

"Okay, fine." You huffed, letting her pull you back towards the gym.

"I was just here," You whined at her.

"Will you just follow me and listen please?" She asked in more of a huff than you had.

She leads you to the stage, sitting you down in the only chair in the "audience" and moving to go behind the curtain.

"What is this?" you whispered to yourself in a mix of confusion and excitement.

You saw the curtain open up, revealing Wally Clark, front and center, in a tuxedo he must have found in the theatre department. You notice the stage is filled with ghosts behind him, all similarly dressed, in black like a show choir. You chuckled to yourself reminiscing in your living days.

You had been the alto in your show choir at Split River in 2002, unfortunately, you had been horrendously allergic to the throat lozenge that your teacher got in Europe and died right before your performance, landing you a nice spot in the afterlife support group.

You focused back on the stage, now seeing Maddie in a black polka dot dress, looking like she would rather be anywhere else, but the look on her face said otherwise, a sly smile creeping on her face as she noticed you looking at her.

"Whoa-oh-oh for the longest time" The ensemble (Rhonda, Charley, Yuri, Maddie, and Quinn) began, making your eyes light up.

"Whoa-oh-oh for the longest-" they continued.

"If you said goodbye to me tonight, there would still be music left to write." Wally began, visibly nervous, his voice much smoother than you expected it to be, "What else could I do? I'm so inspired by you, that hasn't happened for the longest time."

His eyes finally landing on you before the next line, "Once I though my innocence was gone. Now I know that happiness goes on. That's where you found me when you put your arms around me, I haven't been there for the longest time"

You could feel your cheeks burning, a combination of the blood rushing to your face at the attention and the stretch of your lips into the biggest grin you think you have ever had.

Maddie, Rhonda, and Quinn step forward for the next part, "Whoa-oh-oh for the longest time, Whoa-oh-oh for the longest-" Before stepping back for Wally to come in.

"I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall, and the greatest miracle of all is how I need you and how you needed me too, that hasn't happened in the longest time."

You could feel the tears starting, partly because you were just amazed that he would do something like this, but mainly because this was the song you never got to perform and had never told anyone. Hearing it in this context gave it such a better meaning.

"Maybe this won't last very long, but you feel so right, and I could be wrong, maybe I've been hoping too hard, but I've gone this far and it's more than I hoped for." He took a step closer to you, nearing the edge of the stage to sing more directly to you.

"Who knows how much further we'll go on, maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone, I'll take my chances, I forgot how nice romance is, I haven't been there for the longest time." He took another step and jumps from the stage to stand in front of you.

"I had second thoughts at the start, I said to myself 'hold on to your heart'. Now I know the woman that you are, you're wonderful so far and it's more than I hoped for." He moved to take your hand, fully meaning the next part.

"I don't care what consequence it brings; I have been a fool for lesser things. I want you so bad, I think you ought to know that I intend to hold you for the longest time."

"Whoa-oh-oh for the longest time, Whoa-oh-oh for the longest time..." The group finished, some choosing to fade out (Yuri and Charley) while others chose to end it at that (Rhonda).

Wally's eyes never left yours, searching for something. You were sure that anyone who looked at you at this moment would see a girl in love, smitten, head over heels, but to Wally, he had no idea what was going on in that pretty little brain of yours.

The silence between you finally being broken by your query, "How the hell did you get Rhonda to agree to be a backup singer?"

"Really? I pour my heart and soul out to you and that's what you're questioning?" He grabbed your face, fake exasperation drenching his.

"Wally, I have been hopelessly in love with you for the last 20 years. I'm glad you finally came around." You said, voice dripping with love.

"'Finally came around'? That was an anniversary present, darlin'" He said, genuinely confused, "You're supposed to go big for the milestone ones."

Your eyes searched his, looking for some sign that he was joking just then.

"Wally, as much as I thoroughly enjoyed that, you never asked me to be your girlfriend. I fully thought you were just a flirty dude and accepted that." You replied gently, placing a hand on his face.

"Oh, well that's my bad, totally forgot about that part. I meant to do that like 20 years ago. That makes a lot of sense now actually, Rhonda always made jokes about me being single for so long, I never really thought about it. Well in lieu of the last 20 years," He gets down on one knee, "Y/N Y/L/N, will you make me the happiest ghost at Split River and be my girlfriend? And also consider the last 20 years prior relationship experience, ya know, since I forgot and all"

You laughed at his proposal parody, and took his face in your hands once more, "Wally Clark, nothing would make me happier than to be your girlfriend of 20 years. But for real, how'd you get Rhonda to do that?"

Requests are open! I am obsessed with Wally rn and very sad at the lack of fics
