Okay I’ve gain a bit of an obsession with Theadora after the last post you made of her. How about a fem reader who has a bit of a hyperinflation of wanting to pet her head, since she looks like a cat an all. But I’m not talking about the little porcelain version of her. I’m talking about a fully form being version of her. The artist mikoft is my reference but you could do whatever design you think is best.

What: 5 Headcanons of Theodora X Fem Reader Who Really Wants to Pet Her

Who: Theodora from ENA Dream BBQ (By Joel G)

How Much: ~1100 words, ~5 mins

Credits: Image Banner -> Joel G, Divider -> @aquazero

Warnings: None

Clown Phone Says: I assume you meant hyperfixation, not hyperinflation. Is that a Freudian slip I detect? Honk honk.

It’s a dirty world out there, and everyone you’ve ever talked to is looking for the Bathroom. You used to exchange theories and rumors with your fellow explorers, but these days, you tended to keep to yourself on the matter. Others might be confused or envious if they knew that you were given a free shortcut there after your first visit. All you had to do was find a well and climb inside, and your body would inevitably cascade through worlds beneath this one and congeal within the Bathroom, soul ready to be forgiven once more. Your “going to the Bathroom in the well” technique, called that for lack of a better title, didn’t come from any sort of treasure or even from having gone to the Bathroom before. It was a special ability which emerged upon becoming the Genie’s favorite.

Theodora says that you’re her favorite because of your openness to self-improvement, freely-given love and your earnest heart. You ask her how she knows any of these things, to which she sing-songs a reply. “My eyes, ancient and wise, have seen deep into your heart upon our first meeting. You are someone who understands aspiration.” It sounds mystical and powerful, but it’s not true at all; your first instinct upon meeting her and seeing her small porcelain-self was to lift her up out of the well and into your arms, petting her head gingerly. You couldn’t restrain yourself from letting out a little squeal. She was so cute and small! You left an impression on Theodora with your affection and declining of her aspirations, even on subsequent trips. Nobody has ever held her like this. Nobody has ever treated her like this… You made her gloomy, hazy church feel like it had unlocked a new flavor of sacred. A healthy divinity. She had to have you. And, through every little action you took and path you retread, you gave yourself over to the spotless deity.

You end up spending more than half of your time at the Bathroom with your holy love. The Bathroom is dim and ominous, sure, but it’s also a sacred place completely separate from the world where you could hear a rainpebble drop. It’s a nice break from the chaos. Whenever you come here, Theodora hears your shoes clacking just outside and, instead of letting herself be lifted out of the well, eagerly lifts herself out with her noodly arms. If it’s not you, she’s a little disappointed. “Hello~ Oh. You’re not who I was expecting. Congratulations, I suppose, on reaching the Bathroom.” You two spend a lot of time chatting, trading uplifting words of affirmation. You also pet Theodora a lot of the time that you’re there. She starts expecting it and eyeing you warily if you don’t supply her. You’re not sure if it’s taboo or something, since she is a deity and not an animal. She lays this out often for you before you begin her unintentionally patronizing massage. “I am not a cat, you know. But my head welcomes your hands either way.” You point out the way her ears and legs look. She pouts (the best she can, anyway, with her unchanging grimace). “They may be pointy but they are the ears of a Genie.”

To show her that you just like to touch her, every incarnation of hers, you also pet her when she’s existing as her statuesque layer. She’s giant, obviously, but she contentedly leans into your small hands either way while her doll-self wiggles nervously within her eyes. Stone skin and porcelain can’t be ignited by the spark of another’s touch as well as flesh can, so it’s really the gesture that gets Theodora feeling lovestruck. Despite this, you think she deserves to have some form of sensory comfort besides the cold and sterile walls of the Bathroom. You say as much—say that you wish you could pet her and she could feel it because she deserves it. That she’s missing out. Her statue-self looks slightly bashful. “I think… that I aspire for that too. But to achieve this aspiration, you will have to reach a deeper layer of myself than the ones you have yet seen.” Lowering her head, a hatch on top opened into an inky darkness. You simply chose the action that made the most sense and went inside.

And that’s how you got here, in a flat plane of tile, water and smoke. Theodora, not as an effigy, but as a living being around the same height as you, laid her head in your lap as you stroked her hair and pet her ears. They twitched a little as her musical voice resonated out into her inner world, drifting around like wind. “I should have aspired for this sooner. This is truly bliss…” Continuing your petting, you asked her about her inner world, and about her multiple bodies, and if there was a reason she didn’t like being in this one. She looked up at you with her continual grimace, but it seemed a little softer, somehow. “All of my bodies are me. I am as you see me, beloved one. Although a nesting doll serves best to allude to my nature, I am all layers. But no mortal has seen this layer before. It’s part of what makes you so special… I wouldn’t show this to anyone else. It is a rare blessing.” You wholeheartedly agreed. She was warm, and breathing, and although she insisted that she wasn’t a cat, you felt her purring. You kept on petting, the Genie peeling like an onion for you, your aspiration fulfilled.

A/N: It is crucial that you understand this: I see Theodora as someone who will extol you for your virtues and pure-heartedness when in reality she just has it really bad for you and is retroactively justifying how hard she’s crushing.

HI. OOPS. I MAY HAVE GOTTEN A LITTLE DISTRACTED? i was supposed to post these ages ago. hell, i finished these before i even started having tablet problems. super sorry for the wait! anyways, redrew a few backgrounds! along with a lot of other redraws (mostly cgs) that’ll prrrolly get their own posts? they’re already in the drive 👍

wow for once an update is actually short. some notes below the cut anyways!

hiii. so uh. i might’ve burnt myself out recently! yes you’re allowed to point and laugh. this was going to happen eventually, drawing nonstop for 2 and a half months straight was not sustainable. so! i’m taking a bit of a break from the redraw project! like an actual one i think. i’ve been getting into a bunch of other stuff and i have some drawing ideas i really want to work on! don’t worry, not dropping the project or anything. i think i’ve earned this break a few times over lol

okay onto the actual update. if you can call it that i added this stuff weeks ago lol. i’m not doing any of the moving backgrounds for the record! i wasn’t even planning on redrawing these originally. i just had so much momentum after finishing the enemy art that i needed to do Something. and these were actually pretty quick to do! makes me wish the game had more backgrounds……..

procreate doesn’t have a mosaic tool or anything to my knowledge, so i just made a copy of the drawing and made it super small lol. makeshift pixel tool 👍. this is also what i have to do whenever i draw loops star…

also, just because i got a ton of questions about it: yes you are allowed to use my art for phone wallpapers or backgrounds or Literally Anything. i get really excited about it actually it makes my day. go nuts!!!!!

okay! wow! not a lot to say this time around. i’ve still got a backlog of redraws to post, so hopefully i’ll be back here soon!! enjoy!!!

My current version, of my ever-evolving theory, on what constitutes "aromantic stories" is that first off, there's absolutely a wide spectrum between 1, "this is explicitly undeniably about aromanticism," and 2, "there sure is a noteworthy amount of aro subtext, but representing aros clearly wasn't the author's intent." But the spectrum is best completed not as a straight line, but as a triangle, where the 3rd point is "the story probably wasn't created with aromanticism at the forefront of anyone's mind, but was created with subverting particular expectations related to romantic relationships in mind." And in my experience, a lot of juicy aromanticism-related experiences that are underrepresented in their own right can lie in that third option, regardless of whether the characters are aro-spec or allo or kind of whatever you headcanon.

So, what does make a story on this spectrum "aromantic?" IDK, I wouldn't necessarily include all or most of the firm 2s (unintentional subtext) under the aromantic story mantle. But when you get into the gray areas that inch a little closer to 1 and 3, let alone the gray area between 1 and 3 where intent is ambiguous but ultimately may not matter, it makes sense that different people will have different takes.
