Hey I'm Charlotte I'm a 24yo transfem nonbinary woman thing. I got social anxiety but I'm down to talk.

Favorite Animes:

Revolutionary Girl Utena/Shoujo Kakumei Utena (also my favorite piece of media in general)

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Trigun

Bloom Into You/YagaKimi

Steins;Gate

Kaguya-sama: Love is War

Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War is my favorite game. Juri Arisugawa, Misato Katsuragi, Himeno (CSM), Utena Tenjou, Vash the Stampede, Kino (Kino's Journey), Kurapika, and Rukako are some of my favorites characters. I watch things besides anime I swear lol. Also shout out to Touhou Project fav touhous are Satori, Kaguya, and Meiling.

Also DNI minors (under 18), homophobes, transphobes, racists, anti-Semites, bigots of all kinds, ableist, MAPs, conservatives, and "centrists".

Also hornyposts are common here typically Sapphic and t4t. Dom/Sub, kink, all that good stuff. I have a boyfriend and we're in a monogamous relationship so no sexting but friendly flirting and discussion and openness about sex is cool. I'd say I'm a Sub leaning Switch.

My b-day is in October . My hrt anniversary is 8/25/2022.

Ungulate Omega has giant horns like a Highland cow. Not only does he like to bash them into things and rotate them to try an impale things with them but they are actually head mounted turrets, the tips are anti air missiles that he can fire.

This is the most beautiful love letter I have ever been sent. Thank you so much.

I cannot imagine how irritating he would be on a stealth mission clanking and galloping. But he's a great battering ram ❤️

I know you've already got designs for the Spamton and Jevil, but I'd like to say that it would be incredibly fitting for them too have been humans who ended up in the dark world and gotten insane/corrupted, given that it's fairly similar to what happened to them in canon. To much knowledge, to much understanding, and it broke them. INB4 Someone's said this already. In which case my apologies.

Well, at the very least, Jevil and Smapton's origins are a bit more of a mystery compared to the usual old god bosses like King and Queen!

(Anon who asked about the vlog screenshot, thank you for sending the video btw!)

In your personal opinion, would it be too unhinged to dress up as Joel and take a picture with the Etho (Kakashi) statue? Going to Japan soon, and technically admission to that amusement park is free

I have trouble figuring out if my ideas are good bits or just weird, so any advice would be sick, thank you!

Ya knaur you could’ve just asked this out of anon Joel.

Everyone knows you’re obsessed with Etho you don’t need to hide it anymore

Requested by @aecholapis:

⭒ 🎫 for Paradigm please (and get well soon!) ⭒

I'm sorry that this took me so long to get around to lol, my brain was not firing on very many cylinders yesterday

(Also, thank you! I'm still not 100% but that's to be expected with COVID. I'll be back on my feet in no time!)

Anyway! Paradigm lore time >:D

Specifically Paradigm lore: relationship (?) edition!

Paradigm and Karma

Paradigm has this sadistic and crazed view of Karma, mostly because he was the first bot to ever break out of Paradigm's implanted memories/personality blockers via mnemosurgery. Ever since then they've had this absolute, twisted fascination with Karma and they take any chance they get to meet him face to face again. Literally. They will drop everything if they've got information on where Karma is because they want to see how much they can fuck with his brain, and what limits they can push him to before he breaks. It's fucked

(For the record, Jekyll is the one with the sadistic interest in Karma. His brother, Hyde, finds endeavors with the bot a waste of time and entirely frivolous, but the intense feelings from his brother often overrides his control when Karma is the subject of conversation. Also, they refuse to call him anything but Ignitious, much to Karma's absolute hatred.)

Paradigm and Halcyon

Halcyon is an absolute brat and a pest, though a useful one. Not only are they incredibly scatterbrained and rather obtuse (when not in the lab), but they also nag Paradigm like a rabid turbofox when they want something. Paradigm often gives in purely so that the mech will leave them in peace for a few cycles (if they're lucky).

Paradigm does respect Halcyon's immense knowledge in chemical fields and his proficiency in scientific fields. That, and the obvious sadistic nature and the whole mouth-needle thing. It's odd, because they find Halcyon's methods rather crude, while not being much better themself.

Paradigm and Vyrox

Easily Paradigm's strongest relationship- one that actually has trust in it and one where Paradigm views the other as a near-equal in terms of intellect and strength. Vyrox's incredible talent for information gathering and eir talent for creating transmittable cybertronian viruses always brings a grin to their face.

Vyrox is also a vital component in weeding out those who want to gather information or simply try to cross Paradigm and the members within their fold. Those members are given special treatment, the good old one-on-one time with Paradigm for their...efforts.

Paradigm and Turncoat

This relationship is...turbulent. Paradigm sees the value in Turncoat, after all he is a shifter who can literally look like other bots for spy work, but his personality just reeks of insecurity. Paradigm can hardly stand his petulant whining. Oftentimes they'll force other members of the corps to be around the runt or simply find ways to get the smaller to shut his mouth.

That being said, they can...tolerate the sadistic mind Turncoat has- his way with words, how effortlessly he gathers blackmail. It pleases Paradigm greatly. When he actually does his job instead of complain, that is.

(When they discover Turncoat and Reaver's relationship, they find it repulsive, intriguing, and useful all at once. Paradigm sees no use in nauseating things like relationships, but they know that the knowledge by itself holds a lot of power over not only Turncoat, but Reaver as well. Emotions are easily swayed when you hold something dear over another. They'll use the information to the fullest, if the time ever comes.)

Paradigm and Serrous

Paradigm respects the hell out of Serrous, not only for his giant stature but his unwavering loyalty and overwhelming bloodlust. Paradigm had no doubts when they chose Serrous to lead their weapons and enforcement division- and moreso once operations kicked into high gear and Serrous has more than carried his weight twice over. The efficiency with which he tears through enemies excites Paradigm, and the sheer brutality of Serrous' makes them proud.

While Serrous is rather brilliant with military tactics, Paradigm finds that he too easily falls into anger and gets blinded by his own foolish nature. He also can be too stubborn for his own good at times- occasionally going as far as to question Paradigm's reasoning for certain plans and procedures. Paradigm was always quick to remind Serrous who's in charge, and the latter easily takes the threats for what they are when he has to piece himself back together.

Paradigm and Reaver

Paradigm finds Reaver impressive, yet...soft. Much too soft to properly fit into the corps. Yet, Paradigm let him join as he was perfect for intimidation, and as they came to learn, construction. Reaver oversees all construction projects and works at them with an efficiency that Paradigm could never quite manage prior to him signing on.

The troops that follow him also surprise Paradigm, and not in the good way. They look at him with a similar gleam in their eye as they do the infamous Optimus Prime. At least, how they looked up to him in the stories. A great leader, who led for the rights of others and wanted peace. It was too...gentle. Too kind. Paradigm judged the mech too harshly from appearances.

Sure, the bot has easily done extermination work for Paradigm in the past, yet he leads with an air unbecoming of a member of the Ruination Corps- much less of the Salvific Six. Though if he could fool Paradigm towards his true nature, perhaps he could do the same to those who challenge them. They're counting on it.

BONUS Paradigm and Caliper

Paradigm has always seen Caliper as an object or trophy rather than a true pet, despite the programmed sparkeater acting like a guard dog for the six. Usually, Caliper is off with Reaver (him and his dreaded sentimentality towards the creature) or sitting next to Paradigm's throne, imposing and obedient.

(Despite what they might tell you, Paradigm does have a fondness for Caliper. One that they only share in private- petting its head, scratching its jaw, treating it closer to an animal. Don't tell them that though, or you'll be Caliper's next meal.)

Some Assorted Notes & Musings on How I Read Cards

So @rivthewitch suggested I talk about how I interpret cards for tarot, and I love hearing how other people interpret their cards too, so here are some ways that I read/interpret my cards and some of the rational behind those methods.

🔮 First I think it's a bit important to go over which sources I really used to learn tarot. I primarily learned from the Labyrinthos app and this website (thetarotguide.com) and I've found both to be pretty solid resources if there's anyone wanting recommendations for learning tarot. Some tarot books can be helpful and well done, but I would recommend that after you learn the basic meanings of the cards I'd try to find tarot books that are based on a 'tarot from x perspective' or 'tarot with x focus' for deeper insight. Taking notes about what cards manifest for you is also very helpful (for example, if you notice that the 3 of cups can indicate gossip more often with a certain deck). A lot of good card reading is intuition as well, sometimes things will come to you in the middle of a reading and sometimes you can pick up on unsaid things from the person asking for the reading. The individual art/visual seeds for decks also affect how things are interpreted (I give some detailed examples at the end with pictures).

🔮 Tarot/cartomancy in general is (in my experience) not for telling the future but for getting insight into the present energy/elements in motion. Divination tools give insight, but you should make your own decisions and outcomes can be changed. I don't care if you're getting a reading from the most talented reader in the world, you still need to evaluate a situation/concern and make you're own decisions. I (as a reader) basically take what context I know, the energy surrounding the subject, motivating factors, and the boundaries at play to say "ok this is where everything is and what's going on, X is probably what could happen- do with that what you will". At the end of the day, I'm just someone with some cards and the people involved in the situation I'm reading for are going to know better about what to do about that situation.

🔮 The main way I read cards is drawing cards for what a reading represents and then read those cards in context of the reading topic and what I know of the people in question. I could draw the same 3 cards for different people but those cards would mean different things/have specific nuances based off of the person's question and contexts.

🔮 I don't care what the reading is about (love, career, whatever) just because a reading indicates potential in something doesn't mean you have to pursue it. If a love reading indicates a connection has potential, if you don't want to date someone then you shouldn't. Simple as that. There are probably multiple different relationships or opportunities in your life currently that have some level of potential that you're not pursuing because you're just not interested (and that's perfectly fine). If you really want something, go for it despite a reading and if you don't want something don't feel pressured by a reading to go after it.

🔮 I used to use a lot of spread patterns (even made an outline and put it up on the blog) but I don't really use them often anymore. I'm not against using them obviously and structuring the cards in ways that make reading them easier is beneficial, but I don't tend to need spreads in smaller readings.

🔮 I really prefer to use oracle cards in conjunction with tarot in the bigger readings I do for people because a lot of them are more specialized in terms of topic.

🔮 I also definitely prefer reading for some topics more than others. I also, IMO, tend to do better work with the topics I prefer.

🔮 I really enjoy reading for people I've already established a rapport with, and while I'm not anyone's main reader (that I'm aware of) there are some people online and irl that basically just have to ask and I'll do a big reading for them. Having that rapport with them also allows me to look at cards and make easier connections because I know a bit more about them. Larger readings do tend to be more work for me, but some people are just a pleasure to read for.

🔮 I'm not hugely into the theory of birth cards, but I do tend to keep a lookout for the birth card sets if they show up together in a reading.

🔮 I actually changed how I drew cards a little over a year ago from selecting cards that felt right from the deck to shuffling and taking what one/two cards that jumped from the deck, and from feedback I've gotten and from personal observations I'd say the accuracy of my readings have really improved. I'll also put cards that jumped back into the deck if it doesn't make sense with what I've pulled or am reading for, but if the card jumps again it's kept in the reading. Establishing a relationship and or talking to decks in my experience tends to help (I usually try to at least thank my decks and other divination tools after using them if nothing else).

🔮 I don't typically read gender into most of the face cards or major arcana if the card is meant to represent a person in a reading. The cards representing someone (obviously) tend to reflect either where they are in life or their personal characteristics so most cards could represent anyone. I've had men come up as pages or queens and I show up as a knight or king pretty regularly in readings so🤷. In my experience it usually just comes down to either where they're positioned in life/the reading or their general vibe/presentation.

🔮 I also tend to interpret my 2 tarot decks a bit differently as well, because the visual seeds of my Rider-Waite deck and my Shadowscapes deck are very different (I also use these decks for different topics as well, and I went more into that in this post). But usually (for my decks and their specialties) I let my Shadowscapes deck deal with relationships/spirituality/emotions and my Rider-Waite deck deal with more practical life matters/hobbies/creative pursuits/jobs (my Rider-Waite specifically hates doing romance readings and will be mean about it).

🔮 I've noticed that the 2 of Swords show up in a lot of the love readings I do, but that makes sense in that most of the love readings I do involve deciding whether there will be a relationship going forward or not. The 2 of Swords is often a decision that is permanent though.

🔮 I don't (typically) see Death or the Tower cards as necessarily horrible cards, but I usually interpret them as something that the person I'm reading for may not really like. Abrupt upheaval or a big change is often quite uncomfortable/unpleasant even if the end result is needed. Depending on the context of what I'm reading for, I'd honestly be more worried about a reversed Tower or reversed Death because those can indicate resisting change that is inevitable (and often needed). The Tower collapses because the foundation of what is collapsing is unstable (ie the root of a situation was going to be untenable in the long run and the longer it continues the worse the upheaval will be, it needs to end so good things can happen). Death works the same way, something isn't working and change needs to be allowed to happen so something good can come. None of these things are necessarily pleasant but they're probably going to happen whether you like it or not.

More specific card comparisons and interpretations are below

🔮For an in-depth analysis of how I interpret different visual seeds for the same cards, I'll show 3 pretty prominent examples and then go into how I view each card differently. The 3 cards we're going to be going over is Death, the 8 of Swords, and the Devil (as shown below. The Shadowscapes example pictures come from Stephanie Pui-Mun Law's official Shadowscapes site)

✨So when I look at Death in the Rider-Waite deck I typically see it as a big/fundamental change that's going to come to someone (usually it's a personal change that's going to come no matter how they try to stop it). I don't usually look at that the change Death brings as a pleasant/enjoyable process to go through, but I do usually view the results of that process positively. I also see it as more of an outside force making a change happen when I see Death from that deck. I see Death from the Shadowscapes deck as more of a sign of deep rejuvenating change with the Phoenix symbolism vs. the unrelenting change of horseman Death in Rider-Waite. I have another Death card in an oracle deck, but that Death card applies more to the ending of cycles, but if that card were to pop up in a reading with the tarot Death cards I would see it as more of a cycle-ending event that allows someone to move on over a event of change (though it could be both).

✨With the 8 of Swords I interpret the card as a sign of the querent/subject of the reading being being stuck, but the differences in the card's art indicate differences in how they're stuck. The Rider-Waite art shows the central figure as blindfolded and tied up while they're surrounded by sharp swords (the subject is stuck and can free themselves but they don't have the information/freedom of movement to free themselves safely and so they don't move) vs. the Shadowscapes art that shows the main figure of a swan wrapped in briars (again surrounded by swords) looking up at a flying hummingbird, with the swan struggling to fly but getting more stuck in that struggle. For the Shadowscapes card I see it as the subject of the reading needing to take a step back and understand how they're trapped so they can make plans for how they'll get themselves unstuck.

✨With the Devil card I interpret a lot of differences between my two decks (tbh though neither deck throw the Devil out often so I don't have much experience reading for it). With the Rider-Waite card I can read it as falling back into or developing bad habits/behavior patterns but feeling no control/powerless over the situation vs the Shadowscapes card, which shows someone with access to the key of the chains they're in with the devil flying over them with a heart, in my opinion could involve allowing oneself to fall into bad habits/behavior patterns and not getting yourself out (sort of like if you've known you're falling back into old negative habits/behavior patterns you know aren't good for you but allowing that to happen because those old behaviors are familiar or more comfortable/reassuring).
