#but i didnt specify my ideals!

[thelikesoffinn]

Hey friend 👋 I have this Astarion based inquiry I wanted to ask you. Simply, what type of person do you think he is attracted to?

I wondered after the player + Star's meeting Sebastian in Cazador's lair and Star's mention of a "Darling boy" he met within the 1st decade of he captivity. I'm sure that Cazador is not picky about the type of people that the "family" brings in as long as this person's absence doesn't bring unnecessary attention, which would lean the "family" towards those that are considered to "dregs of society"

Star said to tav that he would try to pick "beautiful people" but eventually stopped caring (not exact wording, something along those lines), althought he didnt specify if be meant apperance or personality, I feel like his choices of Sebastian or "Darling boy" ( shy, naive, sweethearted individuals) are the personalities of person would pick for his own personal escapism for that night.

But my conflicting lies in his approval of a player that does things that are cruel or manipulative. So maybe, he just have a soft spot for people he deems as innocent or naive and not necessarily a romantic attraction, since he seen how cruel the world can be 🤔 I'm sure his preference changed between him being a magistrate, captive and post-game, but I think ideally he'd like someone that's good of heart?

idk what do you think?

Oooohhhh, that's a neat question to wallow over! Let's see, love, let's see...

I do agree that Astarion seems to have a certain weakness for good-hearted, somewhat naive and innocent individuals - almost golden retriever types - for the same reasons you mention. And, if we nitpick, we could add the fact that he used to dream about someone like Wyll saving him and if Wyll Ravengard is one thing and one thing only it'd be a goodie two shoes. (And he does have his innocent and naive sides as well, doesn't he?)

In the end, I do believe that a good heart is something spawn Astarion admires and looks for in a person. Probably because it feels so strange and alien to him after his years of abuse, something he hasn't seen or experienced in a long time and that he is now drawn to like a moth to light.

But, at the same time, there's a few... limitations. A good heart is one thing, but I have my doubts about how well a relationship like that - one with one of those kind, naive, innocent golden retriever types - would work in the long run.

While we could argue that Astarion has a good heart - which I personally do believe he does, deep down - he isn't innocent or mellow in character. Astarion is a character that tends to see the need for cruelty - and I do think he does enjoy his casual bouts of cruelty as well (think act 1, scaring the tiefling children) - and he is somewhat of a jackarse. A loveable jackarse but a jackarse nonetheless.

If we combine that with his polar opposite - a naive, innocent do-gooder - it makes for a rather...explosive combination.

There's a lot of room for conflict in that connection, because we're faced with very clear differences in core values and believes that are usually hard to navigate.

(In general, every person has a set list of core values that make us who we are. Those values determine not only how we act but also who we surround ourselves with and to form healthy, long lasting relationships - platonic or otherwise - those values need to somewhat overlap between us and the people around us. The less they do, the harder it is to keep a relationship stable. It still is very much possible, but it will require a lot of communication, openness, acceptance and understanding by all involved parties.)

I think that sort of relationship would come with a long list of big and small frustrations. Astarion would be frustrated because why can't they see how this is necessary? Do they always have to save every kitten in distress? Why do they care so. much.!? Can't they just turn and walk away for once? What has the world ever done for them? How can one person be so fucking naive?!

And darling would be frustrated because, hot damn why can't he do the right thing just once? Why does he need to be so cruel to everyone else? Why are we even discussing this!? Why isn't the path already clear to him? What has the world ever done to him? Why is he so cold? We are able to help so we fucking should!

As you can see, the script nearly writes itself. There's a lot of room for disagreement and even more so for annoyance and even infantalising - on part of both parties.

(And if, to top it all of, darling is one of the softer do-gooders - one of those that have trouble standing up for themselves and pushing back when necessary - the relationship could quickly delve into Astarion continuously walking all over them, whether it is intentionally done or by accident.)

As I mentioned before - Astarion is a jackarse. In order to be with someone like that, you need to be able to push back when necessary. Give shit where shit is due to drag him off his high horse. And I think this is something he is well aware of and doesn't necessarily mind. You can call him out on his shit multiple times over the course of the game and, far as I can remember, he doesn't disapprove most of the time - Cazador-centric moments not included. (Example - calling him an arse because he's being a racist shit towards the gur hunter in act 1.)

He needs to be told off just as much as he needs to be agreed with.

And this is, essentially, the problem with the darlings. Realistically speaking, I think there'd be too much disagreement and telling off and not enough agreement in most situations. It lacks balance. A person who is kind hearted and does good but can be cruel and cold if the situation calls for it would probably fare much better with him in the long run because they can see eye to eye when it comes down to it.

So, to answer your question:

I do believe that Astarion has his fantasies about those very lovely, kind and innocent people just as much as anyone. Maybe it's a thought he likes, maybe there's even more to it - we don't know.

But, in its essence, this seems more like one of those fantasies one might have or one of the archetypes one might like that aren't all too feasible in reality. You know, like how some people love the classic Tall Dark Dangerous but if they ever were to meet one of them in person, they'd probably be throwing hands.

(It's me, I'm some people.)

And sure, this might work for a night. Chat up the innocent and kind person, seduce them and, dare I say, corrupt them with a little bit of himself for one night - if only to escape reality, as you mention -... yeah. Yeah, seems feasible.

But a relationship with someone who he actually CAN see eye to eye with at least half the time would likely be much more realistic and sustainable and I think it's something he himself is well aware of, which is precisely why we gain the approval the way we do.

It's a fantasy. And some fantasies are meant to remain as such.

Luckily, attraction is based on a great many factors and can change the better you get to know a person! So, while he might initially be more attracted to a prince charming, that attraction can quickly fade. Meanwhile, someone who's the furthest from innocent and kind can become more attractive the more time is spent with them. Attraction is lovely like that, it's willing to shift and morph into anything for us!

Woof! I think I strayed a lot in the middle there, I'm sorry, love, but I hope I could answer your question!

You only have yourself to blame for putting us in this pack brain rots 😂💛

I'm going to be cheeky and ask the pack 2 questions but they're closely related (as if I didnt do a whole series asking questions already 😂😘)

I'm pretty sure the pack mentioned wanting some kids but they never specified a number or will they just play it by ear seeing how the experience plays out?

Second, does anyone already know what name they want their future kids to refer to them by? E.g. mama instead of mom, papa isnt of dad etc.

P.s. again with you keeping me up last night with horny pack promises??!💛

"Pups, pups, pups." Chan says teasingly, grinning. "People always wanna know about the pups."

"And your breeding kink." You point out cheekily, and the head alpha groans and rolls his eyes, fixing you with a pointed stare.

"Yeah, but that's not what we're discussing right now, is it?"

"No...."

Chan nods firmly once more and then says, "Let's start easy." He glances around at the waiting pack mates. "How many pups does everyone ideally want? Have you thought about it?"

Minho huffs a sigh. "I say one is enough. Have you met a kid recently? They're monsters."

Seungmin nods in serious agreement. "Absolutely. And the earth is already over populated."

"Oh my god." Chan breathes out from beside you, pinching his nose in open exasperation. "Okay. Anyone else?" He looks around hopefully.

"I think we have a kid, see how it goes, and if we don't all lose our minds, we go from there." Changbin offers matter of factly.

Hyunjin holds up a finger. "I agree."

Jisung throws himself back into the couch, slumping down between the alpha and omega on either side. "God, can you imagine more than one little Changbin-hyung running around?"

Changbin gives the beta an offended glare, but he just keeps going.

He pitches his voice into a poor attempt at a child's and moves his hands like they're speaking the words. "'Is there protein powder in this bottle? Look at my swole gains, I don't even fit in my toddler clothes anymore!'"

Changbin pinches his ear, hard.

"Ow!" Jisung yelps and pulls away with a glare, crossing his arms over his chest. "I'm just saying. Kid would be a gym rat before the age of three."

"I want a lot of kids." Felix interjects with a slight shrug, and no one seems surprised by the admission. He smiles softly. "I like the idea of all the pups having siblings to play with."

"Me too." You nod, and then you grin slyly at Felix from across the room. "And hey, gotta get at least one kid from each alpha am I right?"

Chan groans again.

"Hey, it's good for the diversity of the gene pool. I'm thinking of the planet!"

"Moving on." Chan sighs and rubs at his temples, glancing to the next question. "What does everyone want future pups to call them?"

"Supreme Lord Over Ruler." Minho replies without hesitation.

Beside him, Jeongin cackles.

Chan sighs once more, ignoring the other alpha. "I think we've talked about this before, but I believe we just agreed on going by whatever the pup decides. But we're all cool with dad or daddy and just ask to differentiate, or to make it easier, we'd each go by previous said titles and then our name-like Chan-appa or Minho-appa etc."

"I get it easy." You grin. "Only one mom or mommy in this household."

Hyunjin fixes you with a blank stare. "What if I want to go by mommy too?"

You stick your tongue out at him. "Already monopolized. Pick a different name."

"Fine." Hyunjin folds his arms petulantly. "MILF it is then."

"Absolutely not."

"Wait, that was an option this whole time?" Jisung shoots up, expression betrayed. "Well then I'm changing my answer. I want to be referred to as DILF from here on out by any and all future children. And Hyunjin." He adds, with a smirk in the omegas direction, earning him a middle finger.

Chan rolls his eyes. "No one is allowed to be called anything by our pups with the word fuck in it."

Jisung sinks back into the couch and grumbles beneath his breath in the direction of the head alpha, "Party pooper."

"As far as protectiveness and subgenders go," You consider, glancing to Seungmin, who seems interested in this new topic, which is no surprise. "that's an interesting topic, because it kind of changes when pups and pregnancy come into the picture for a pack."

"Right." Seungmin agrees with you, already getting into explanation mode. "Because we've already decided that Lix and Noona are gonna be the one to carry pups, but one is an omega and one is an alpha right? Doesn't matter. The moment a mate gets pregnant, the wolves immediately disregard any former status in favor of the growing pup."

"Basically," You add, holding up a finger to make your point. "Pups are the next generation, they carry on the bloodline, so the wolves favor them over anything-and I mean anything-else."

"Also, it's very common for pack members to realize their mates are pregnant before they even test positive. Call it a shift in scent or pheromones or hormones or whatever you want, but it's been studied, and time and time again, other members, especially the head alpha, realize a successful breeding and implantation before the parent carrying the pup themselves."

"Oh my god." Jisung sighs beside Seungmin. "You guys are both such fucking nerds."

"Actually," You continue, ignoring Jisung entirely. "Sometimes it's said that the alpha that knotted and created the pregnancy can tell the moment after breeding that it was successful."

Seungmin nods. "Call it wolf's intuition, but that has also been proven true."

"As far as protectiveness goes, again, nothing else matters besides the safety of the pup, and with that, the safety of the mate carrying the pregnancy. So, subgenders are ignored in favor of the mates protecting said incubator."

"Yep." You nod. "If I got pregnant, the fact that I'm an alpha and completely capable of protecting myself and my mates would go out the window in everyone else's eyes, especially the other alphas. I'd be treated just the same as Felix-or anyone-if they got pregnant. Protected and doted on and babied, to put it lightly."

You grin over at Chan who rolls his eyes at you.

"Why are you looking at me when you say that?"

You shrug. "Biology?"

Chan narrows his eyes at you. "Sure."

Seungmin focuses his gaze on the head alpha now. "She's right you know. You're gonna get fucking ridiculous when one of them is pregnant."

Chan opens his mouth in what appears to be protest, but Seungmin holds up a hand and goes on.

"I'm not saying it's gonna be completely voluntary either. Your wolf is just gonna kick into overdrive and control a lot of the things you do from there on out, all in favor of the pup."

"Cute." You lean over and pinch Chan's cheek teasingly, and he growls low in his throat with annoyance.

"Wait, wait wait." Jisung sits up again, perking his ears in sudden interest. "It just occurred to me. How are we gonna pick which alpha gets to blow their load and become a biological dad?"

"Ew." Hyunjin makes a face at his crass wording and Jisung shrugs defensively.

"I'm just saying!''

You laugh, even as Chan's ears go pink.

"It's fine, Sungie. It's a legit question." You shrug. "Basically, when it's time, and I'm on my cycle or Felix is on his heat, we're just gonna have them take turns." You cock your head and consider with the start of a smirk. "Everyone gets a chance to shoot, but only the best sperm hits the bullseye."

"Ew." Hyunjin repeats, and Jeongin looks a little green.

Seungmin looks entirely unphased. "Biology is fascinating."

"You would say that." Jisung remarks. "Fucking nerd."

OOHHH do you think they're opposites?? I'm trying to think about their personalities rn... I can't decide. I do think their voice/sense of humour is the same tho:0 and it does depend what version of batman we're talking about

Danganronpa in toki pona, part 2: talents

if you havent read the first part go do that

toki!

the first post only focused on transliterating, but now were getting into actual translation territory. that means I get to explain toki pona words and grammar. the main two words Ill be using here are ken (ability, skill (but also possibility)) and wawa (power). then there is of course jan (person) to talk about the actual students. for convenience, and to keep with the toki pona spirit, I will try my best to keep phrases short and only use up to one pi.

speaking of which

what the hell is pi?

this is one of the aspects of the language that is most difficult for new learners to grasp because theres really nothing like this in english. so, in toki pona you cant really combine multiple words into one (a process called agglutination, something you might know from jokes about how long german words can get) instead, you have one main word that you attach modifiers to (names, by the way, are always modifiers in toki pona, which is why they need a head noun). so a phrase X Y can be interpreted as "X exhibiting qualities of Y, Y-ish X, X of Y, Y's X", stuff like that.

but things get ambiguous when you have three words. "mute" means many, a lot, etc, but its also used to mean "very". so if you read something like jan pona mute, how are you supposed to know whether its "many good people" or a "very good person"? this is where pi comes in. pi regroups modifiers, and its easiest to show this with brackets. if you do not use pi, modifiers apply to all the words before them. so jan pona mute is ((jan pona) mute), many good people. jan pi pona mute, however, is (jan (pona mute)), a very good person. this is a very important concept to understand in toki pona.

a note about translation & interpretation

words in toki pona dont really correspond 1:1 to any specific word. rather, they cover a range of meaning that can be intepreted in various ways depending on context. akesi Lipamanka calls these ranges "semantic spaces" and has started writing a dictionary based on them. this is sort of like calling something a building and not specifying whether you mean a house, a school, a church, a shopping mall, etc. if its obvious from context, then you dont need to specify. the only difference is that toki pona words generally have broader ranges than english words. just know that for any translation and backtranslation I give, theres a lot of other ways someone could read them.

also, ideally all of the talents would actually be translated into full introductory sentences, both because its more pona and because, again, itd provide some neat opportunities for distinction between characters, especially ones who share a talent. but whenever I need to refer to their talents in a short-form way, these phrases will have to do.

so, aside from individual pieces of vocab, theres not much else to know. I will explain everything else as I go along.

- - -

talentless - jan ken ala (not skilled-person, non-ultimate) or jan pi ken ala (unskilled person, someone with no skills) Im sure theres something fun to be done with the subtle difference between these

ultimate ??? - jan pi ken ???

- - -

ultimate lucky student - jan wawa pi ken pona ("powerful good-possibilites person", luck is.. difficult to translate, but I feel like ken pona is alright at being both concise and clear enough in meaning. its also a wawa cause yknow. luck isnt really a skill)

ultimate detective - jan ken pi kama sona ("skilled knowledge-aquiring person", yeah, no notes here. after all what is a detective if not one who figures out information?)

ultimate affluent progeny - jan wawa pi mani mute ("powerful rich person", I didnt really lean into the heir aspect here sorry. I also do not really care about this guy so eh)

ultimate writer - jan ken pi toki musi ("skilled entertaining-words person", musi is a rather broad category so I think it fits for stories)

ultimate murderous fiend - jan moli ken ("skilled death-person", pretty self explanatory)

ultimate pop sensation - jan ken pi kalama musi ("skilled fun-sounds person", so I really wanted to make sure I distinguished the music-based talents cause technically you could just reduce all of them to kalama. kalama musi is a pretty widely used and generic phrase for music, which imo fits well for pop)

ultimate baseball player - jan ken pi tawa sike ("skilled ball-movement/circular movement person", okay so. I was originally going to talk about how I wouldnt be able to disambiguate the two ball sport related talents bc like. theyre both about moving balls, sike tawa. but then I had the absolute genius idea to use tawa sike instead since it can refer to both the movement of the baseball itself and the circular movement of running around the bases)

ultimate programmer - jan ken pi ilo nanpa ("skilled computer person", ilo nanpa is a fairly common way of referring to electronic devices so. yeah)

ultimate biker gang leader - jan wawa pi lawa kulupu ("powerful group-leadership person" uhhgh sorry I dont really know how to put the kon of "biker gang" into an short phrase. this is an example of why full sentences to describe talents would probably be more apt)

ultimate moral compass - jan wawa pi nasin pona ("powerful good-rules person" nasin can be interpreted as a lot of things, but fundamentally it is some sort of way one might follow, either physical like a path or metaphorical like rules (fun fact: in the context of languages, its often used to mean grammar. people who speak toki pona in a way that deviates from common usage generally call this their personal nasin)

ultimate fanfic creator - jan ken pi sitelen musi ("skilled entertaining-pictures person", I think thats a reasonable translation of comics? plus sitelen can also refer to writing so it works in two ways)

ultimate gambler - jan wawa pi musi mani ("powerful money-games person", also a luck-based talent, therefore a wawa. I dont think this one needs much explanation)

ultimate martial artist - jan wawa ken ("skilled strong person", wawa can also mean physical strength so. I really wanted her to be a jan wawa and a jan ken, to emphasize her strength and add to her initial intimidation factor)

ultimate swimmer - jan ken pi tawa telo/kala ("skilled water-movement/fishlike movement person" both of those are fairly uncontroversial ways to describe swimmimg. no notes here)

ultimate clairvoyant - jan wawa pi sona kama/jan sona pi tenpo kama ("powerful incoming-knowledge person/"future knowledge-person", uouuugh. this is one of the ones that gave me the most trouble. clairvoyance is something thats real fucking difficult to put into a quick and snappy phrase. moreover, I think the second phrase is more accurate but it doesnt include wawa which would set him apart from other ultimates for basically no reason? like mayybe I could say jan wawa pi tenpo kama but "future powers" is a bit too vague imo :/)

ultimate soldier - jan utala ken ("skilled battle person", no notes here)

ultimate fashionista - jan ken pi len pona ("skilled good-clothes person", theres a lot of ways you could go about translating fashion, but I think this one suffices. do not even ask me to try and translate ultimate analyst into a simple phrase I will literally die)

- - -

ultimate everything - jan pi ken ale ("all-abilities person", fitting + contrasts nicely with jan pi ken ala)

ultimate gamer - jan musi ken ("skilled games person", musi refers to anything related to entertainment, and its often used on its own to say game so. yeah)

ultimate imposter - jan ken pi jan ante ("skilled other-people person", again, I think this one especially suffers from not being in full sentences, but I think its still accurate. their talent is (being) other people)

ultimate animator - jan ken pi sitelen tawa ("skilled moving-pictures person", sitelen tawa is a fairly common & uncontroversial translation of movies/videos/animations so yeah)

ultimate chef - jan moku ken ("skilled food person", I really really dont think toki pona is built to get across the tiny little nuance cook vs chef so I guess thats staying out of the tp translation? then again I dont think Ill translate anything with teruteru in it because I dont really like him at all)

ultimate photographer - jan ken pi ilo sitelen ("skilled picture-tool person", no notes)

ultimate swordswoman - jan ken pi ilo utala ("skilled fighting-tool person", no notes)

ultimate yakuza - jan wawa pi kulupu Jakusa ("powerful Yakuza-group person", Im gonna say it outright, any attempts to describe the yakuza in this tiny little phrase turned out reductive and Bad. you really cant put the intricacies of organized crime into a two word toki pona phrase. it does feel kind of like cheating to simply tokiponize the word but the other options all suck ass. the actual description will simply have to be contained in fuyuhikos introduction, where I can use full sentences)

ultimate musician - jan ken pi kalama wawa ("skilled loud-sound person", like I said, I wanted to differentiate the kalama-based talents, and if theres one thing ibukis music is, its loud)

ultimate traditional dancer - jan ken pi tawa musi ("skilled entertaining-movement person", yeah, fairly normal way to say dancing. thats it)

ultimate nurse - jan ken pi pona sijelo ("skilled body-wellness person", if youre partial to nimi ku suli, you could also replace pona sijelo with misikeke ("medicine"), though due to the changed modifier amount the whole thing would then be jan misikeke ken)

ultimate gymnast - jan ken pi tawa mute ("skilled lots-of-movement person", no notes)

ultimate team manager - jan ken pi pona kulupu ("skilled group-wellness person", no notes)

ultimate breeder - jan ken pi soweli mute ("skilled many-animals person", while calling his talent unpa soweli might be more accurate to him being a breeder, I really really didnt want to call him the animal sex guy)

ultimate princess - jan lawa ken ("skilled leader", so, I generally consider leadership to be a wawa rather than a ken, however, I also wanted a way to contrast her talent w kokichis, and I think wawa is more capable of having sinister undertones than ken. I mean think about it, between "skilled leader" and "powerful leader", who sounds more menacing?)

ultimate mechanic - jan ken pi pona ilo ("skilled machine-wellness person", no notes)

- - -

ultimate pianist - jan ken pi ilo kalama ("skilled instrument (sound-tool) person", since theres no other talent that specifically mentions an instrument theres no need to specifically describe a piano)

ultimate child caregiver - jan awen ken pi jan sin ("skilled child (new/young-person) protection person, so I wasnt quite sure how to convey taking care of someone without using too many words, but I think awen comes close enough? because youre keeping them safe and happy? I dunno. though I do like that awen doesnt necessarily imply that maki would be nice to them, which I think could work in her favor?)

ultimate assassin - jan ken pi moli len ("skilled hidden-death person", no notes)

ultimate astronaut - jan ken pi tawa mun ("skilled star-travel person", no notes)

ultimate.. leader - jan lawa wawa ("powerful leader", like I said earlier, I think this makes him sound kind of ominous which fits the way he presents himself over the course of the game)

ultimate adventurer - jan ken pi tawa musi ("skilled? entertaining-travel person", because what is an adventure if not an exciting journey. also Im not sure how going on adventures is necessarily a skill but its even less of a wawa, so)

ultimate tennis player - jan ken pi sike tawa ("skilled moving-ball person", having tawa sike vs sike tawa as disambiguation between this and baseball is like, really flimsy but its better than nothing so Im keeping it)

ultimate maid - jan ken pi pali mute ("skilled many-jobs person", yeah, I think this pretty much gets across her Mädchen für Alles (lit. "girl for everything", a person whos there to help with anything and everything when someone needs them) energy)

ultimate magician - jan ken pi wawa musi (calls herself jan usawi wawa) ("skilled entertaining-powers person/powerful magic person", so. usawi is one of them newfangled words that barely anyone uses but its special to me bc jan Usawi makes some damn good music. also I read somewhere that in the japanese version himiko actually speaks in a distinct dialect? therefore I think itd be kind of cool for her to use nimisin that no one else does)

ultimate neo-aikido master - jan ken pi tawa wawa/tawa Akito ("skilled powerful-movement/Aikido-movement person", uhh this one could go either way. tawa wawa is more descriptive but tawa Akito is clearer abt the fact that its aikido specifically? then again it always feels a bit like cheating to just tokiponize. what ever)

ultimate artist - jan ken pi kiwen sitelen ("skilled artful-stone(or other hard material) person", shes a sculptor. thats her talent. why did they just translate it as generic artist SHES A SCULPTOR. shaking the localization by the neck)

ultimate anthropologist - jan ken pi sona jan ("skilled people-knowledge person", no notes on the talent itself but I heard this guy talks in a sort of archaic way. therefore Id like to propose that he uses majuna bc its a pre-pu (therefore old) word and the word itself means ancient. I think it would be funny if that was a word he used, and perhaps also limited to no usage of ku words? much to think about)

ultimate inventor - jan ken pi ilo sin ("skilled new-tools/machines person", no notes)

ultimate entomologist - jan ken pi sona pipi ("skilled bug-knowledge person", no notes)

ultimate robot - jan ilo wawa ("powerful machine-person", as mentioned in the names post I think theres some interesting stuff to be done with people referring to him differently, especially kokichi)

ultimate cosplayer - jan ken pi len ante ("skilled different-clothes person", so obviously cosplaying is more than just clothes, however it works well enough here  + len can also mean cover in a metaphorical sense, like hidden things and secrets. which works rather well I think)

Trans headcanons for the mercs?

gonna get in detail about this but also understand that i consistently orbit around all of the concepts i propose here because i’m at a level of gender you need a master’s degree to understand

scout: if he lived in 2022 he would identify as gnc gay trans man but instead he has so much gender in 1972 that we’re still reeling. not even transitioning medically but the most Some Guy that anyone has ever been

soldier: so fucking transgender he makes jane seem like a male name. so fucking transgender that he had a deadname and jane is his new name and that’s pretty masc of him

pyro: literally give up now. more gender than anyone on the planet

demo: trans man obvi but actually hes the equivalent of the joke a friend of mine makes of “transitioning into a cisgender man”. like 5% gnc but it’s a very nice 5%

heavy: result of the first recorded use of testosterone for gender transition (because medic offered)

engineer: world champion ‘literally didnt even take T or get surgeries he just looks like that because he’s over the age of 35’. short kings never die. also this might sound odd but i feel like he’d be a trans dude and would also in a scenario where it’s possible i think he would really enjoy being a drag king too. idk

medic: invented all trans medicine and has been using the others as guinea pigs for the new methods he’s invented. t4t gay man. tacks on the ‘he did his own top surgery’ joke for OSHA compliance purposes.

sniper: this is such a personal take but he’s a trans dude who would still use the term ‘butch’ to describe himself because that’s an important part of his gender identity still after this long.

spy: genderfluid because just this fucking once i’m giving him nice things in the form of The Actual Ideal Scenario. pyro invented Good Gender and spy is performing heist movies to recover that Good Gender

my credentials include being objectively right. as for amount of transition and duration of it medically or surgically etc etc i can’t stress enough that i’m not gonna specify because,, in my personal opinion, assigning things like ‘scout got top surgery but not bottom surgery and hasnt started t!’ is the sort of thing that pretty heavily preys on stereotypes and this assumption that performing masculinity includes like, checklists? honestly the way their gender intersects with their characters vis a vis their relationship with gender and masculinity doesn’t necessarily have to change at all based on whether they’re trans or cis. in my personal opinion, inclusion of the fact that they’re trans—and where they’re at in any potential transition they go through as a result—is something that can add interesting details and textures to their personality and the way they present themselves to others and why, but i maintain that being trans alone isn’t even necessarily the most significant qualifier to the way they present themselves.

[chokkito]

Wooooo! I’m glad!

Well, first daily question then. :]

What are things or ideals important to your OCs? These can be either material or general, such as people they might hold dear. However, if under certain circumstances of either being forced to give them up or otherwise betray and go against them, would they end up doing so? Or would they instead hold their grounds?

And, has this ever actually happened in a specific instance of their story?

- Daily question Anon. ❓

Yippieee!!! And alright, let me think...Since you didnt specify the oc, i'll write for just three, hope you dont mind!!

Nikita - I would say that for most part what Nikita values the most are his dog (tsar) and his humanity. Since a young age he had to go through the whole process of having to deal with people seeing him as a ressurection of a higher being, he never had the chance to actually be seen as a "human", so he really values it all...And for his dog, he is very dear to him as he was his only friend through his whole life and was what kept most of his sanity...As if he would betray those, i do not think so, since he sees betraying those morals as betraying himself. (Also as a plus me and my dear friend @raskolovey have made him and their oc Anya be besties so he also holds her dearly in his heart)

Belinda - As for the material part, a thing she holds dear to herself is the necklace she uses, as it was the only gift she still has from her mother, one that she was given when she was still a child, so it is less about the actual value of it and moreso the emotional part, and in a more general way...She really values her morals, having some strict moral code...But honestly, yeah, Belinda would 100% betray or give up on those depending on the situation, of course she would not like to do so, but there would be times she would have to do it (and it would happen in the story cause y'know. funger oc.)

Angeline - She values her freedom more than anything, after spending most of her life as some type of bird in a cage, she just values it more than anything else, not caring how hurt she gets or how bad things are, as long as she can make her own choices, she does not think about anything else, that's why i think she would never give up on it, prefering to die than to do so.

[pikslasrce]

*sees a discourse post* hmm yeah they got a point here somewhat

*sees a discourse post REFUTING the previously seen discourse post* oh true i didnt think of it like that.

*the two discourse post fight to death in my head* oh well you see. both sides have a point but both of them come from such a generalizing stance, each side assumes that the other side of the argument advocates for the total enforcement of its ideal, whereas that is realistically impossible to do in either case

*reblogs them both to signal i agree w each of them partially doesnt specify which parts she agrees with*

[spouseoftherisingsun]

such an agressive reply but i literally agree with your point?? im most definitely not a stan, i rly dont care that much abt any of this lol. i guess i should have specified. bc yea i do agree with your original point that their strong nose is part of why ppl are probably overlooking them. i just, i guess, didnt see her as "conventionally attractive" (not that she isnt clearly considered attractive) bc i rarely see people of her ethnicity look like her

You're probably right and I got your other ask too, and I'm sorry if I came off so aggressive - it's been an emotional day dealing with a lot of kindergartener meltdowns over missing moms at work and I had a huge headache, so I was pretty testy, plus I'd been talking with my best friend about beauty standards and antisemitism and stuff and gotten super bothered about it. Mb on that account - I definitely took it the wrong way.

And I do live in an area where plastic surgery is extremely normalized and a button nose is basically prerequisite for being considered attractive, so when I refer to it as generic, that plus the internet's perpetuation of those sorts of ideals with no regard for variation (as I'm familiar with it) is the context I'm speaking from to be clear.

I knew I was kind of being a bitch when I wrote it but was too tired to actually edit my first draft to be more pleasant/thoughtful/considerate, so that's on me as well.

As someone who lives very close to Hollywood though, she is definitely, definitely a conventional face for an actress. I can't speak to like, where the series is made, how the casting went down, her particular background or that of the showrunners, etc. But as far as the entertainment world goes. I have met way too many actresses and wannabe actresses to call her unique looking, for her ethnicity or otherwise. I've known like twelve TV acting majors that looked exactly like her. She certainly fits the type.

D'Arcy isn't necessarily unconventional looking either - she just doesn't have the perfect infallible soft features look that's so desirable right now. Which leaves her open to a lot of unfair hate. Something my Jewish actress best friend has had to deal with even while being conventionally hot lmao

Anyway, hope this wasn't as aggressive as last time, the intention is certainly not as defensive as I was feeling. I definitely let my bad experiences with GO*T show stans color my interpretation of your ask and I apologize for that - I need to remember to Actually practice good faith online, instead of just performing it, which is in a lot of ways worse than unacknowledged bad faith readings

Wilbur?

rp/

favorite thing about them: he's my favorite character i feel like it should be easier for me to specify why i care about him so much but i think it really comes down to how utterly...human he is, if that makes sense? this shit isnt gonna make sense but like...hes the son of death and her angel and yet he is so...unequivocally human. he wanted to believe in the power of words so badly because he wanted to believe people were good, that they didnt need violence to solve their problems. but then he witnessed how cruel their world was first hand, and he doubted himself. he began to hate himself for being human, hate his own wide eyed idealism for betraying him. and that was the start of the fall, wilbur's descent into himself. in the end he went out with his country, thinking destroying both l'manberg and himself would finally make him worth something to those he loved. he hates himself so much that he was and is still entirely unable to comprehend that others love him as he is. he feels like he needs to be worth something for people to love him, its part of why he created l'manberg in the first place, to protect his family, to prove to them and himself that he was good enough. he hates himself for his humanity, but its what i love most about him. he's an absolute tragedy of a man and that is what makes him human, what made me relate to him in the first place.

least favorite thing about them: despite being my favorite character i've always been open about my problems wilbur, though i can't really talk about that without addressing that i'm so frustrated by him specifically because i relate. but i think his biggest problem, as well as my own, is equal parts chronic escapism and an inability to ask for or accept help because he inherently doesn't view himself as having any worth. and let me be clear, wilbur made mistakes, tommy put it the best "he decided he wanted to be treated badly so he started treating others badly" but he was never a bad man, and no one sees him in as negative of a light as he sees himself.

favorite line: “you deserve to be safe tommy”

brOTP: if you don't count tommy cause they're brothers then his best friend is niki and they love each other

OTP: he will literally fuck anything, the mother of his son is a god damn salmon. but i do appreciate whatever the fuck he's got goin on w big q.

nOTP: i support him in being a whore but i cannot excuse the flirting w c!dream

random headcanon: he collects dead shit he finds lying around to remind him he is alive and also because he likes it. his favorite is a dead bee in a jar that he carries in his pocket. 

unpopular opinion: just because he villanizes himself doesn't mean its okay to villanize him and call him an abuser for being the wrong type of mentally ill and doing so is a slap in the face to both survivors and the mentally ill.

song i associate with them: oh so many but i would say waste and cant get it out by brand new

[liyawritesss]

I have a question but I'm afraid of sounding racist. But why do u specify that reader is black if it doesn't really affect the story? We assume that reader is whatever ethnicity we happen to be, right?

Hey there hun!

To answer this, I need to give you a bit of context as to the history of fanfiction and fandom content from my perspective

I've been writing for years. I've been on every content platform you can think of - Wattpad, DevianArt, Fanfic.net, AO3, Quotev, Tumblr, etc - and while back then I wasnt confident in posting my writing online I still loved to see content created by different people for characters I enjoyed.

Younger me had a lot of internalized anti-blackness that fanfiction inadvertently played a part in. I would imagine myself as a thin girl with blue eyes and blond hair and pale skin because that's what the "reader" was and still is portrayed as. What's funny is - I didnt even think it was wrong. I thought that was the normal because I never saw character x black!reader content in my early teen years. I was never represented in fanart or fanfictions because I was not desirable.

I still see it today when reading shit like "he combs his hand through your hair" or "you blushed bright pink" or "you balled your fists so tight they turned white/red". I'm not fair skinned, my hair is definitely not straight or thin enough to be combed through by hand, and blushing is not easily shown through melanin. So I feel displaced, I feel like I dont fit the criteria of the ideal type of the character I'm reading for. I'm not represented at all, and it makes me feel undesirable.

My dark skin, coily hair, big nose and forehead were not desirable because society continues to masculinize black women and hyper sexualize us, to the point where we are not seen as worthy of having romantic relationships, or being soft and delicate or worthy to be catered to.

I make sure to specify that I write for black readers because I want to make a space for myself and others to show that we are desirable. We may not fit into the beauty standard of blond hair and blue eyes and slim figures, but we're beautiful and elegant in our own right. We deserve to be seen in romance endeavors, we deserve to be pampered and loved and adored and not used to portray the sexualized ideas of vixens and mistresses just to be sexually appealing.

I'm not a sex object. I'm your fantasy. I'm human. I deserve to be loved, to be catered to, to be delicate and soft and shy and timid and pampered.

So I write the way I do because other writers particularly white writers, don't leave the room for black and poc readers to feel included by specifying hair texture or skin color. I want to write for my black girls so that they know they're desirable and that they are loved.

And other pocs will write the way they write to accurately portray their people because their peoples are their intended target audience, like how mine his black girls and/or nonbinary people. This is just my part in making space for black girls to feel and be themselves.

Sincerely,

Liya

(1) Hello, I saw you were accepting match ups and I jumped in your ask box :) So I am a Gemini INTJ, creative, ambitious, honest and thoughtful. I can come off as cold as I am mostly neutral in my expression, but I am very loyal and caring towards my friends and generally compassionate. My passions are writing, reading, ballet and learning new things (criminology, literature, history, sociology, psychology, sciences, philosophy), I am kind of a master of all trades. I also stand up for feminism

Here ya go, luv!

(+you didnt specify pronouns so i hope you're okay with she/her! If not please let me know and I will change them~)

I match you up with... Napoleon!

When you first meet (a proper meeting, not him trying to get you out of a mansion full of vampires), he is not fazed in the slightest by your neutral expression. If being in a such important position has taught him anything, that'd be not judging a book by its cover; you never know what people are hiding just beneath the surface. The same way, you want to witness and judge with your own two eyes the man's qualities and faults before running after him because "omg napoleon bonaparte-senpai!! >\\\<", and this is something that doesn't go unnoticed

Despite the fact that you don't throw yourself in his arms at the sight of his interest in you, one could say that your relationship started off on the right foot. You are straightforward and honest, and on multiple occasions you directly tell him that you want to see who he is for yourself instead of blindly believing rumors and legends

By now Cupid has already hit him with his arrow, and it's clear as day that his feelings will only grow from then onwards. All he can do is show you his true colors and hope that you'll like the view

Though he won't tell you so at the beginning of your friendship, he feels immense pleasure whenever you turn down Arthur's (or any man's) advances. And when, as your feelings develop into something stronger, he sees you walking to him with indescribable and genuine love in your eyes, he feels his heart bursting in his chest. Seeing how the most important person to him gifts him with unwavering loyalty, something that he had learned not to take for granted, it really makes him realize how much of an amazing person you are

Though on the overall you're pretty independent and can hold your own on most occasions, he'd like it if you relied on him more. From morning to dusk you're like a train running at full speed on neverending rails, so sometimes he has to run after you and snatch you away to force you take a break. Overtime he has learned to read every sign your body has to offer, no matter how subtle. He knows when you can still keep going and when you're a inch away from snapping, in which case he'll gently hold your hands and press a solemn yet soft kiss to your cheek, whispering words of encouragement in your ears

He particularly loves seeing the fire in your eyes whenever you talk to him about all the causes you support so firmly. He carefully listens everything you have to say, posing insightful questions as the will to share your ideals burns deep in his resolve. It's one of the reasons he realized he became so utterly whipped. You both share strong convictions that are able to fire you up fiercely in mere seconds, and to share such passion and conception with someone else makes him feel like he came back for an actual reason

Second choice: Leonardo

The moment he lays his eyes upon you, he already knows that there's much more about you than you let on, great minds (or storms in Leo's case) think alike and are bound to recognize each other. He's immediately drawn to you and being as curious as he can be, he immediately takes a liking to you and starts trailing behind you like a lost puppy, though unfortunately for you he plans on endlessly teasing you until he's satisfied with the results of his newfound research

It doesn't take much time for his interest to be rewarded with the first fruits of knowledge as you show him both your passion and skills. The vast variety of topics you cover with your knowledge make you an extremely great partner for all kinds of conversations, especially for someone as cultured as him. Your creativity matches perfectly with his spontaneous personality and oftentimes you find yourselves lost in deep and long conversations, considering and discussing all kinds of ideas and projects

You're also caring and considerate, and it's one of the aspect of your personality he finds liking a lot pretty quickly. You don't overstep boundaries nor ask him questions he'd rather not answer to, and you're genuinely concerned for whatever may bring him harm despite his inhuman resistance. While there isn't anything strong enough to physically bring him down forever, it feels nice having someone fussing over your bruises, tending to your wounds and checking your temperature; it's a completely new feeling for someone without a real family like him, and knowing he can completely trust you with anything is what ultimately wins his heart over

As the days pass by he gets to know you better, and just when he thinks you couldn't surprise him more than what you had done already, he discovers a new side of you, passionate and vigorous. You were out on a date walk in the city, going around and giving a hand to whoever needed it, when suddenly a couple started arguing in the street. It was a man harshly gripping a woman, probably his lover, by her wrist while yelling all types of misogynist insults as she tried to break free. The argument was rather one sided, and Leonardo could clearly see how hard you were staring at the scene in front of you, fists tight with rage and repugnance. As you went to tell him off, the pureblood followed you ready to back you up any moment. In the end everything was solved with just a punch in the face of the man and comforting words to the woman. As the two of you started walking away, Leo asked you about how you were feeling about the whole situation, interested and worried at the same time; that's when you finally explained about how you were an activist and fought against injustices, describing how situation was back in your time and how things developed through the years. Seeing your eyes light up with fire and finally understanding how deeply you cared about equality, he feels his heart flutter in adoration against his chest. You're truly one of a kind, and he can't help but want to support with everything he has.

Your relationship developed pretty fast as he found falling for you almost immediately, and being the flirty little tease he is, nothing changes much even after you start being a thing. He becomes more openly affectionate, that's true, but it comes so naturally to him that it's as if you've always been a couple

Most of your dates involve either philosophical conversations or happen in the library. You take naps together, or he gives you books he read that he knows you'll like. It kinda became your favorite meeting spot, and everyone in the mansion prefers keeping a certain distance from the room whenever you're in it, not wanting to be the third wheel or walk in on something embarassing

By M’gann

Welcome one, welcome all! M’gann here today, since I’m the only one in the superhero community with experience running a blog. It’s a pleasure to meet you all, even if it isn’t under the most ideal of circumstances...

This is the Justice League’s official tumblr blog! Since our identities were outed, we don’t have to worry about accidently leaking personal information anymore, and we decided to create various social media accounts so our actions are more public and available to everyone, and totally not because if we didn’t, our actions would have to be monitered by the government and none of us want people following us around at all times, or Secretary Ross anywhere close enough to have his eyes on us!! :)

(Scarlet Witch/Wanda just burst out laughing, and she doesn’t have her phone on her, so I think she’s reading my mind, now I know how it feels, but at the same time, I’m glad I made at least one person laugh with that)

If we just post what we’re up to, then we can just refuse to post about when we go to the bathroom unless it’s important, which was a big concern for us all when people following us was first brought up. But that’s besides the point!

This blog will contain all the stuff we’re posting on other social media, so you can just follow us here to get all the tea!

... My uncle just came in to inform me that those of older generations might not know what that means, and that I have to try to not leave anyone out.

‘Tea’ means gossip.

Okay, so starting off this blog with a bang, the entire superhero community (which also includes vigilantes, anti-heroes, and villains, not just superheroes, it’s just quicker to say!) decided to all create twitter accounts to post their name, if their identity was revealed and their civillian name. Now, I don’t know EVERYBODY in the community, so I put in everyone who commented superhero-like stuff on the post. I’m pretty sure that they aren’t real heroes, but it’s better safe than to be rude and exclude people! Besides, I didn’t know about the Defenders half an hour ago until I heard someone in the house exclaim that someone named Daredevil was finally getting media coverage because of this. Apparently a few people in the house were fans of him. __________

Okay, so... You guys weren’t there, but I stopped writing for a few hours to attend a justice league meeting with the avengers and quite a few other people, and here’s what was ultimately decided:

Because we have so many enemies, it isn’t safe for any of us to live alone anymore, so we’ve basically all moved in together? Well, not all of us. Those who had their identities revealed, and those who lived with them, or could have their identities revealed based on everyone else.

For example, Batman had his identity revealed, which, by the way, what???

Bruce WAYNE??

But yeah, Batman had his identity revealed, but Robin didn’t. The new Robin. Not the first one. Nightwing is his eldest son, Dick Grayson. But people can figure it out based on his height. Which, by the way... Bruce has his reasons for letting him into the community, give him some slack. He’s been getting a lot of hate from it. And speaking of Bruce Wayne, it is his manor that we’ve all moved into, since it’s large and has excellent security. I haven’t met his other kids yet, so I don’t know if they already knew their dad was Batman, and their siblings were Nightwing and Robin. I’ll ask them when they show up. __________

Okay, so I left to get food for five minutes, and when I came back, the og JL members were staring at my screen and laughing their heads off while Bruce sat by the side and scowled. So... I’m concerned. If this post never goes up, assume I’m dead.

BUT ANYWAY!!!!!!

I made everyone in the house promise not to read the comments on the original twitter post, and only read them here, as some of us wanted our accounts not to be spammed by their friends. Like, Garfield uses his account to advocate for animal rights, he doesn’t want to constantly respond to other supers’ messages. He’s too busy for that!

The mess on Twitter, as follows: __________

Youonyourphone,situpstraight! @ #1FBIAGENT Plastic Man, aka Patric O’Brian. I was outed, which makes my job VERY interesting now... (read: awkward)

Winged Warrior @ Hawkwoman ✔️ Shayera Hol. I have wings. If  you couldn’t figure out my “civillian identity” by me walking down the street, earth is too dumb to save anymore

So, quick note, the next people... Well, I haven’t got any confirmation that they’re ACTUALLY heroes. But I don’t wanna exclude anyone, and they might just be obscure vigilantes that I don’t know about, but they commented on the thread that only heroes were meant to, and it’s not like believing them to be heroes will get me hurt like it would on a mission if they were villains in disguise, so... I’m just going to trust them this time! __________

Adam @ DEATHJR (It’s all cool Brian, not your fault!)

Cuz common sense is the rarest resource @ FAMINEJR Well, most of us can unite, anyway... I miss Pep, even if she had a weird name that I’m pretty sure was fake, looking back on our childhood.

MY NAME IS AWESOME, FIGHT ME @ WARJR You wanna go, Wensly?

Pestilance? @ POLLUTIONJR YOU’RE ALIVE?!!

MY NAME IS AWESOME, FIGHT ME @ WARJR Yeah, I’ll DM you three my number so we can catch up.

Pestilance? @ POLLUTIONJR Is it really her though?

Adam @ DEATHJR Well, you DID forget to put your name down Wensly. Nice to see you again Pep!

Pestilance? @ POLLUTIONJR But they could have just hacked your computer?

Adam @ DEATHJR If she did that, she would have called him Wenslydale, not just Wensly. She knew better.

Cuz common sense is the rarest resource @ FAMINEJR One way to find out. @ WARJR, say you’re name to us all within the next five minutes!

MY NAME IS AWESOME, FIGHT ME @ WARJR Pippin Galadriel Moonchild, Pleb. Bow down to your missing member.

Pestilance? @ POLLUTIONJR OMG, I’m legit crying you guys...

Cuz common sense is the rarest resource @ FAMINEJR IT REALLY IS YOU!

Adam @ DEATHJR Glad to know you’re safe and sound, Pep. 🖤

MY NAME IS AWESOME, FIGHT ME @ WARJR Puh-lease. You really think *I* could keep out of trouble?

Adam @ DEATHJR Glad to know you’re sound, Pep. 🖤

MY NAME IS AWESOME, FIGHT ME @ WARJR Glad to be sound, Antichrist! 🖤 Still haven’t learnt what safety is tho... :P

Pestilance? @ POLLUTIONJR Pepper? Living a calm enough life to be SAFE? Wouldn’t dream of it. 🖤

Cuz common sense is the rarest resource @ FAMINEJR Send me your number so I can cry while hearing your voice 🖤

MY NAME IS AWESOME, FIGHT ME @ WARJR Sure, it’s in your DMs now, and Wensleydale? You were right. “Pippin Galadriel Moonchild” isn’t my real name.

Cuz common sense is the rarest resource @ FAMINEJR FUCKEN CALLED IT!

Pestilance? @ POLLUTIONJR WAIT WHAT?!

Pestilance? @ POLLUTIONJR HOW DID THE TEACHERS LET YOU TWO GRADES ABOVE WERE YOU REALLY THAT SMART??

MY NAME IS AWESOME, FIGHT ME @ WARJR OF COURSE I WAS YOU ASS! But nah... I ran away from home, hitchhiked, skipped the county, forged my ma’s signature to put me up for adoption, stole some adoption papers, and placed them on the mayor’s desk filled in, and as far as anyone was aware, I was now the daughter of the local hippie

MY NAME IS AWESOME, FIGHT ME @ WARJR I picked “Pippin Galadriel Moonchild” as my name because I was a massive nerd.

Adam @ DEATHJR THERE IS SO MUCH TO UNPACK IN THAT I DON’T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN, WHAT THE FUCK PEP?!?!?

MY NAME IS AWESOME, FIGHT ME @ WARJR I’m an agent of Chaos.

Two Seconds Away From Giving Up @ JERomY Kid... __________

This thread wasn’t important, but... I just found it heartwarming that they found eachother after assuming Pepper was dead, and I found it funny. __________

Miraculous @ LadybugOFFICIAL Okay, I have convinced all of the team to say their name and position. I even managed to get everyone to get matching Team Names, and put their superpower as their user! Only those with identities revealed will have to say their name, however.-OGLB

Miraculous @ LadybugOFFICIAL This account is run by two different ladybugs. If you don’t see a signature at the end of a post, it’s Bugette, the current Ladybug. If you do, it’s me, the last Ladybug. -OGLB

Cataclysm @ ChatNoirOFFICIAL My identity is still secret, suckers!

Like I’d tell you @ RenaRougeOFFICIAL Rude. Alya cesaire. I’m a retired hero, but doing my best every day to be once again worthy to wield a miraculous. I doubt it would be the same, however, as @ NeurofoxinOFFICIAL is a much better fox than I am it seems.

Miraculous @ LadybugOFFICIAL DM me -OGLB

Miraculous @ LadybugOFFICIAL Alya! You were meant to put your special power in the user! :(

Like I’d tell you @ RenaRougeOFFICIAL I was going to, but then Viperion pointed out to me that our powers were too obvious by our special power name, and that the two of us in particular needed others to not be aware of what we can do to make us all safer.

Miraculous @ LadybugOFFICIAL That is a very sound judgement! I’m glad you thought ahead and made the wise deciscion!

Your new goth gf @ NeurofoxinOFFICIAL Rena, you’re a better fox than me, it just seems like that due to self-doubt. You are more suited to the fox than I am, it’s just that the fox is needed that I am even a holder at all. WHEN you get back on the team, I’ll either be retired or given another miraculous instead. I just have the better name.

SHELLter @ CarapaceOFFICIAL Not gonna say my name, but it’s pretty obvious if you pay attention, so just like... watch if you wanna know?

Chloé Bourgeois @ QueenBeeOFFICIAL ✔️ I used to be the best holder of the Bee Miraculous, but I gave it up to @ HoneyBeeOFFICIAL, and they are acceptable.

Wenom, uwu @ HoneyBeeOFFICIAL Thank you Chloé! I couldn’t ask for a better predecessor!

Chloé Bourgeois @ QueenBeeOFFICIAL ✔️ You are most welcome, HoneyBee!

Miraculous @ LadybugOFFICIAL Uhmm... Chloé? You were meant to put your power in the user, not your name. And everyone knows what you can do, so there’s no point hiding it from everyone. -OGLB

Chloé Bourgeois @ QueenBeeOFFICIAL ✔️ You misunderstand, Ladybug. As Chloé Bourgeois, I am well known for being rich and famous.

Miraculous @ LadybugOFFICIAL And? -OGLB

Chloé Bourgeois @ QueenBeeOFFICIAL ✔️ Being rich IS my superpower.

Miraculous @ LadybugOFFICIAL SMH -OGLB

BRB, Got sword homework @ RyukoOFFICIAL @ QueenBeeOFFICIAL @ HoneyBeeOFFICIAL I am Ryuko. While the previous Hawkmoth knew my identity, the new one does not. So I will remain in the shadows, as it is now safe for me to do so and wield once more.

Miraculous @ LadybugOFFICIAL I thought we all agreed to put our powers in our users!!

BRB, Got sword homework @ RyukoOFFICIAL My skill with a blade is much more beneficial than my power over storms, I thought it more prudent to use the talent that I actually worked for. Besides, @ ChatNoirOFFICIAL sent me a meme, and it was enough to make me laugh in front of my mother, so I decided to use it.

Miraculous @ LadybugOFFICIAL DM me about how she reacted...

Miraculous @ LadybugOFFICIAL ^Same, and Chat, stop spamming our inboxes with memes! -OGLB

Pls don’t need me so I have to use it... @ ViperionOFFICIAL I am the Aforementioned Viperion. And yes, my weapon IS what you think it is. No-one knows who I am as of right now.

Your new goth gf @ NeurofoxinOFFICIAL My identity is a secret but my name is Neurofoxin.

Creation @ Ladybug Tikki here! The current active kwamis are going to sound off. Our usernames will be what we are the kwami of, and our @ s will be what animal we represent!

The ORIGINAL @ Catwoman Plagg here.

Creation @ Ladybug PLAGG!

The ORIGINAL (Destruction, THERE, HAPPY TIKKI!?!?) @ Catwoman UGH!

Avatar @ Fire Nation Dragon Well, since Plagg already broke the rules... Longg here. And I am technically not exactly breaking the rules..

Creation @ Ladybug See what you’ve caused?!

Emotional @ Peacock Duusu here!! :D

Intuition @ sassysnake Sass here.

Timey-Wimey @ BunnyIsLate Goodbye and Hello! I am Fluff, and I won’t be active on twitter often unless I will.

Trixx @ FoxyLad Technically, I’m also following the rules. 😎

;) @ Multiplication I know I just put my special ability down, but if I put my animal representative down (rat) I’ll ruin the joke... Mullo here.

Subjection @ Busylittleworkerbee I feel like I’m one of the few that still actually listens to Tikki... Pollen, at your service!

Y’all better be rich if you talk to me @ TransportationTeleportationHorse Just providing a friendly warning... Kaalki here, and I only interact with the best.

Protection @ Turtle Wayzz here, feeling like a fool since I decided following Tikki’s rule was a good idea. __________

These two groups seem like they work together? Or they’re both coincidently animal-themed, and I’m making connections when there are none. The next few are seemingly one-off people! __________

Caroline @ GLaDOS While I never saved the world myself, I saved the life of someone who did, and that should count for something.

Refined Pig @ Waddles ✔️ ((I know this is an account for my pet pig, but the creator of this account, me, has saved the world, and Waddles was there, along with my brother, @ ConspiracyTheorist))

The government isn’t the only one hiding the truth @ ConspiracyTheorist ✔️ You make me sound like a sidekick like I didn’t save your behind multiple times.

Danny Phantom’s cousin @ CALLHIMINVISOBILL Dani Phantom here! I save Amity Park, plus the world, and I’m cute to boot!

Red @ Huntress @ CALLHIMINVISOBILL is my sidekick, ignore her.

Danny Phantom’s cousin @ CALLHIMINVISOBILL Rude!

Danny PHANTOM @ GhostKingOFFICIAL ✔️ DON’T CALL ME INVISO-BILL

Danny Phantom’s cousin (Ghost Princess?) @ CALLHIMINVISOBILL You love me! 💙💚

Danny PHANTOM @ GhostKingOFFICIAL ✔️ I know you are using those for the color aesthetic, but I hope you know the blue heart represents loyalty, because you have absolutely none of that for me.

Danny Phantom’s cousin (Ghost Princess?) @ CALLHIMINVISOBILL True... How’d you even find this account anyway?

Danny PHANTOM @ GhostKingOFFICIAL ✔️ I know better than to not keep an eye on you. I’ve known for months. __________

And that’s all for now! I know we’re missing some, like Batman and my uncle, but they should be on by tomorrow. An update will be posted then!

[demiromantic-official]

I have similar thoughts as the last anon, about being demiromantic. For now I believe that I'm demisexual. But lately I'm thinking I'm also demiromantic. But. There is that thing, I have had feelings about humans, who I don't know that very well. I never wanted to be with anyone, because I don't know them. But I had these fillings,that I created my self. Because I imagined those people are something they aren't. I don't know if you follow me. I don't know If I'm also somewhere in aromantic.

I think I follow! My understanding is that you have one idea of what a certain person is like, perhaps based on daydreams, that is not entirely accurate but may have nurtured your feelings towards them?

It seems like a tricky situation with you, though romantic attraction always seems more hazy than sexual attraction. One thing to keep in mind is people can kindle all kinds of feelings.  Which I suppose is obvious but worth stating.  Sometimes people are drawn to those they admire or want to be friends with (a squish) or just people they find aesthetically appealing.  You do not specify the nature of your feelings but if you didn’t want a relationship and didn’t imagine one, it is possible that they weren’t entirely romantic.  Again, hard to say based on a short ask since I don’t know the specifics of these feelings but if you feel they were not romantic in nature and are nothing you’d pursue then you are probably arospec! If you have had romantic interest/feelings towards a close person then perhaps you are leaning more towards demi.  If these idealized versions are the only examples, then perhaps something else is more suiting?

If you need more help, send another ask. :)

Costa Rica Snorkeling

Well my new most loved side interest here in Costa Rica is swimming and before you state goodness holy cow what an agreeable pastime let me include a little shading Swimming in Costa Rica isnt just about putting on some veil and balances and glancing around Not with the folks I go with These Costa Rica men were brought up around there and they can go out with only a stick and return home with enough nourishment to encourage their families for seven days It is very energizing really I went with a person a day or two ago whose moniker is Chino directly toward the finish of Playa Conchal and all was smooth and tranquil until I saw him plunge down 15 feet to the base All of a sudden there was this astonishing whirlwind and whirlwind of movement and a tempest of sand and didnt Chino think of a bunch of squirming and very terrifying octopus The thing was genuinely battling frantic and a startling marvel to see I ate a few and will make reference to that it was really intense yet I havent exactly gotten around to getting the plans from the Ticos yet Presumably ceviche They transform everything here into ceviche Yellowstone National Park

Another Costa Rica Snorkeling experience we had was at Playa Minas a couple of shorelines south of Playa Conchal and is a very much covered up and excellent virgin shoreline that at one time contained bauxite mines at each finish of the shoreline The old rails driving into the man-made natural hollows are as yet obvious and very fascinating as a discussion piece Any way we set out with our swimming apparatus and lance weapons on this day withdrawing directly from the center of the shoreline and straight out It was a wondrous day for submerged touring yet very little in the method for submerged lance angling Leading was a goliath turtle which I will specify is significantly more rich and nimble while swimming submerged than how we typically observe them awkwardly walking up the shoreline to lay their eggs Playa Minas is a major turtle shoreline incidentally related article

In any case in a matter of seconds into the swim I started to see what I thought were cloud shadows on the sea floor and saw a couple of dozen of these before we understood they were a gigantic collection of monster manta beams in part covered into the sea depths I will make reference to this was ideal at the time the well known nature experience fellow got destroyed through the heart by one of these animals Obviously he went excessively far with it plainly We were savvy enough to stay away however observing these ten foot wide atavistic shadows on the sea depths 10-15 feet underneath us was the thing of bad dreams yet energizing in its own right

Her eyes set on the prize in front of her: a stationary vehicle with a driver currently seated, the window rolled down. Bingo! This was Lydia’s chance. Half running over to the vehicle, half limping, she must have startled the other when her face suddenly appeared in the window, her hand resting against the side so she could catch her breath, wincing at the pain radiating through her leg. Lydia had the ability to scare people when she was having a good day, she must have looked borderline unrecognisable since she wouldn’t normally dare going out in public looking like… that: faded make-up, brunette hair disheveled, her face littered in grazes and little cuts dotted along the left side of her face and forehead, splotches of dirt elsewhere, her hair and clothes completely caked in mud. In her defense, it wasn’t her fault and she had no choice. The best laid plains go awry and hers certainly did, backfiring on her in any and every way possible, which led to her minor injuries. It was a long story – one of which she didn’t feel like telling. Nonetheless, it was not something worth crying over. All she knew was that she needed to get out of there and this person may be her only hope.

“Hey, look - I wouldn’t be asking if I wasn’t so desperate -” The woman suddenly called through the window after clearing her throat to make her presence known. A frantic look on her face, she looked around her, shaking her head quickly as she peeked back through the window. “–And it’s definitely not ideal for me, I probably hate this idea as much as you–” Lydia continued to ramble, not caring who the person in the vehicle was, her brows furrowed in concentration as she rushed to get her words out quickly, breathless. “But I need a ride. I’m cold, my body is aching and I swear I am not a lunatic. You do this for me and I’ll make it worthwhile; I’ll give you anything. But like - I’m in a hurry. So... we need to go now, preferably…” She urged abruptly, vaguely gesturing to the door. “Mind unlocking this so I can get in? I swear I’m not out to burgle you.”
