#cen's ramblings

[rottmeltson]

Rigel and Cen theme color is yellow and green.

i haved noticed in the drawings of Zeddyzi the color pallete she use with them is usually as the normal one, just that with them they have a yellowish subtones in their skin, eyes, etc. Sometimes more obvious, sometimes more sutil.

Obvious exemples:

this are basically screaming yellow, THE COLORS ARE SO GOOD THO‼️‼️

Sutil exemples:

In this ones we can apreciatte the under color yellowish cover up of all the other colors , Even in the mafia au the stripes in their suits are sligthly yellow, it may be too for color theorie and how affects the space, but i like to it is not a coincidence.

In one there is seem to be a brown, but if we look good it's going towards the oranges and more important yellow.

EVEN THEIR ACCESORIES ARE YELLOW.

Here are some examples of green, tbh not so much about it, obviously these are old drawings, but it shows the intention of the creator from years ago.

They are all still yellowish but with subtones greens, is like a yellow who is triying to escape from the green.

Even Rigel in his old design haved a green coat, it was pretty much green.

And now you would ask "but Rott, why tf do i wanna know this shit? Don't you notice your life is becoming a misery becuz of them? Does this even matter to their characters at ALL??

The answer little fella, is NO !! THIS IS JUST A THEORIE,, I DO THIS FOR FUN !! but here are some significances of the color green and yellow, and seeing how they are and their personalitys, i would say it fits really well.

It would be more likely them being traitors since they care most about the money [showed in old art and the comic] then basically everybody else/depends on the person but ya got it, also it would contributate some negative aspects and deeply depeloved to their characters.

@zeddyzi You genius genius mind.

I wonder if anyone ever looks at my account and wonders "Oh I wonder what their favorite ship is." And then scroll a little on my account and go "Oh." And then they scroll a little more and theyre again like "Oh." And they they scroll even more and are like "Oh. Okay. Yeah. They have a problem."

Yes I do. You're welcome.

[sourgummydog]

reminder.

if you ship error/fresh/geno together + also reblog art of them being portrayed as siblings, i Will be looking at you weird.

[asmfic]

One of the things that really gets me about how we're telling the story in ASM is that there are so many things that are going to get LEAGUES more significant when we can finally lay out the entirety of the kids' timeline. But because we started in media res its like. "Hey those random girls get mentioned a bunch."

[volfoss]

never underestimate my dedication to taking notes <- just spent over 4 hours researching something i hated

APRIL FOOLS PRANKS CEN AND RIGEL WOULD PULL ON THE RAMSHACKLE CAST BC THEY ARE LITTLE $H!T$‼️‼️

All jokes here, this was made purely in the spirit of April fools and because @rottmeltson told me too.

Skipp- oh lord this poor boy. You know those fake fruits your parents or relatives have out on a table that look eerily realistic but they are only for display. Well, they gave Skipp a fake apple, made of styrofoam and plaster in the middle. Skipp took a massive bite outta it and it may or may not have resulted in a chipped tooth. They also took his mandolin and replaced the strings with shoelaces, because they didn’t feel mean enough to actually damage the instrument ( Cen told Rigel not to screw up his pookies stuff too much)

Stone: from the very moment he woke up and stood up this man couldn’t get a moment of peace. You know those little snap it firework poppers? Yeah, that night Cen and Rigel taped handfuls of those onto the bottom of Stone’s shoes since he hates loud noises. So instantly when he stood up it was like a firecracker went off under him and for a second he swore he saw maggot. And the twins took his fiddle and messed with it to the point where it’s gonna take DAYS before it’s in tune again.

Vinnie : they used their half brain cells and remembered static electricity exists. So they stole a pack of balloons, and while Vinnie was asleep or distracted, rubbed the balloons on her hair until they stuck onto her. It took hours to locate all the balloons in her hair, and she would get randomly jump scared by one of the balloons randomly popping in her hair. They also took her wooden sword knife thing and replaced it with a spoon.

Tre:this man uses unholy amounts of hair products, right? We all know this by now. So they took Tre’s hair gel specifically and dumped ungodly amounts of glitter and mica powder into it. So when Tre was half asleep doing his hair in the morning, he leaves his mansion looking like a unicorn princess threw up on him. As well as replacing all his main pens and inkwells with disappearing ink, so when he writes down his notes during the day, all that work will be gone within an hour.

Ditch: any weapon from a knife to a gun has been tampered with or flat out replaced. His signature dagger is now nothing but a dollar store play knife from a toy kitchen set. And his pistols and revolvers are either water guns or shoot out confetti and glitter. Cen and Rigel also put Ivan’s fashion ramblings too good use and practiced their makeup artist skills on Ditch.

Ivan FranzWick: speaking of Ivan, since he doesn’t wear an eyepatch over his missing eye, the twins stuck either one comically large googly eye onto the missing one, or several small multicolored googly eyes onto his missing eye. ( mini hc that Ivan has nerve damage on the skin of his missing eye due to trauma and can’t really feel any sensation over the skin of his missing eye) the twins also mismatched every single article of clothing Ivan has, like patterns that shouldn’t even go together,or ugly color combinations.

Maroon: they foraged a gift of flowers to Maroon, making it look like Avrille sent some lovey dovey gifts to Maroon. Chocolates, flowers, and a teddy bear. Well the flowers were coated in sneezing powder, so when Maroon smelled them, she immediately began sneezing for extended periods of time. The teddy bear was coated in itching powder, so when she hugged it, she immediately broke out in a rash. And lastly, the chocolates weren’t chocolates but actually garlic dipped into chocolate. They really used her lover girl personality against her.

Avrille: they were just out here wanting to destroy her candy business. They planted fake bugs outside and inside her shop, even getting a few other scraps to cause a scene inside her shop, saying how disgusting and horrid it was selling candy while having a pest infestation. Essentially going on a holier than thou type speech. As well as reusing the chocolate dipped garlic prank. This lead to her shop being closed and under health inspection for weeks.

Dante: poured out/ maybe drank some of the top shelf liquor and whiskey at Dante’s bar and replaced the alcohol with apple juice, water, or vinegar. This single handedly caused one of the largest bar fight brawls in Ramshackle.

In conclusion, all the pranks either ended careers, relationships, and people’s will to live. Resulting in monumental crash outs or became the thirteenth reason.

Anyway, happy April fool’s day!!

[whosthere54]

So there's this quote that I keep seeing on my Pinterest and EVERY TIME I go lol hey it's Broters or lol hey it's Prison duo but I wanna talk about it for a min cause sjkfkfkfkf I'm so normal

If u wanna I'm gonna yell about it below the cut :)

(Disclaimer it's all just incoherent ramblings at *checks watch* sometime around 1 AM but there's some sense to it I promise just trust me /lh/silly/hj)

So the quote is short, it’s just-

"Icarus should have waited for nightfall. The moon would have never let him go" - Nina Mouawad, blue sun

And I shake it. I shake it around. There's so much symbolism of Icarus and the sun. Icarus and Apollo. I always make comparisons of "hey what is Icarus's sun" cause I think it's many things- not even just Fable, though in some ways it could be the sun for Icarus. The thing causing them to fall, but he's always more Daedalus coded consistently.

Icarus's sun and Icarus's ocean I feel are two very similar things. The whole the sun is what causes Icarus to drown in the first place idea, is basically what I'm getting at.

I say many words but to try to shorten it, Icarus's sun is their fathers words, the idea they were something more than they were (something *better*). Their sun was just a touch of praise and validation (something they had been starved of for so so long). At the time, with fable, it may have still been out of reach for them. But, it was attainable. And that's all that matters to Icarus, isn't it?

Basically, their sun is the idea they can fix their mistakes. The idea that they could do something right for once. The thought that they could fix their relationships with the people they cared about (who they repeatedly pushed away for a taste of sunlight)

But, that sun isn't really the sun. it was the water that swallowed them whole as they fell deeper and deeper into what they deemed as trying to fix things. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, they couldn't quite tell anymore. Their ocean was the thoughts that came with flying, the thoughts that drowned them in their own mind. (The thoughts that told them they were doing the right thing. Their lungs filling with salt as the things around them told them this wasn't right, told them that he was wrong.)

The water was the trust they would tell themself Fable earned. (Maybe it was wrongly placed- but who else could Icarus have believed they could place that same trust on then) That's my whole "Icarus falls for a taste of the sun, but they chose the wrong sun to believe in" idea.

So that's the sun and the water blah blah blah /lh I'm yapping too much. I say "I try to shorten it” and then yap for an hour/silly

Now to the moon symbolism. So- Rae is alwyas moon and stars coded. As it goes- void prince my beloved.

Centross I say is moon coded personally. In my heart.

So, the moon symbolism I know of and think of off the top of my head are Cycles, immortality/eternity, the soul, enlightenment but also like dark side of the moon shit. But we go with the hey it's she who guides my way through the darkest of nights type stuff-yknow. With a quick google search and clicking on the first page that came up it's all I said before also can be like realm between conscious and unconscious, capacity for reflection and adaptation, decline of life and sleep. Which- some of those are namely Icarus coded but. Yknow.

Now, Rae and Cen are Icarus's moon because they're the things guiding them. Keeping them together. Helping control the tides and the storms within them. The moon reflects the suns light in the middle of the night- helping people see. They're trying to get Icarus to see what fables actual motive is.

See the moon never stays the same. It's always changing. And that's not a bad thing. They were trying to help Icarus learn that- yet they do what they do and pick something that they've picked before (the repetitive cycle continues) and pick Fable over other people. He's not consistent, yet they don't *really* remember that. But he doesn't change. He's predictable even if just in tone and inflection, but also action. And looks and. A lot of things about Fable stay the same. Have *stayed* the same since their childhood, no matter what they do or don't remember they can grasp that.

Rae or Centross would always try to catch them. They've shown it in the past with actions and words and they've shown it at that time with fable when Rae would still try to check in on their brother and Centross would get Icarus out of their house before his death, and show up to them/check in on them after. They're there, and they try. Fable doesn't, and that's the difference.

Rae and Centross would not let Icarus go until it was life or death. Fable, was fully going to kill Icarus for power. If that's not immediately letting them fall, then I don't know what is.

This is all a stretch but. Shaking it. I'm so normal. Arararah.

Thank you for reading my silly worbs come back later for more silly and more words :3

drunken antics

a bitch is BACCKK🙏 i remember writing the start of this fic before i had this blog omg

lee!venti

ler!aether

Aether hummed, his feet moving to the pace of the city. Friday nights in Mondstadt were especially busy, and even though it was half past 11, various lights and lanterns kept the village lit as people made their way around the place for personal needs and what not. His floating travel companion had tapped out this time, claiming she was too tired to go out on any favours.

The honorary knight walked down the paths near Flora's flower store set up, eventually reaching the lower levels of Mondstadt near the tavern. Glancing at the barrels in front, he quickly decided that going in for a few hello’s wouldn’t be too bad. With a quiet bell chime, the Angels Share noise set into his ears. With tables full and bard playing a lyre at the back. It set a nice ambiance, as he walked up to the ba-

“Traveller! Wha- *hic* Are you doing here?”

recognising the high pitched voice. He turned to meet the eyes of Mondstadt’s famous bard. Venti quickly spinned the chair around and stumbled off. Though, immediately falling into his dear friend wasn't quite what he was trying to do. But it didn't matter, he wrapped his arms around the knight tightly as Aether tried to pull him up to prevent him from falling.

“Ehe~! Aether..*hic* where.. Where have you beenn~? I haven- *hic* seen you in Mon- Monstadt for like.. ever. ehe..” he slightly rambled, huffing as the traveller finally stabilised his stance. “Venti.. who let you get this drunk?”

“I’m not drrun- drunk! jus- *hic* just happyyy~ ehehe.. Aether i'm all spinny.. you- can you pass my me-.. wait.. me my drink? yeah..” He giggled out, whining as aether threw their hand over his shoulder and led his arm around to their’s. “Come on, let's get you home okay?”

Venti gasped loudly, though not to be looked at twice with all the commotion in the tavern. “Whaaat? no!- nonono.. I still.. need to drink the rest..! Ae- tther.. pleasee? ill tell you a secret if you do!” he insisted, leaning over to the others ear and cupping his hands around his mouth as he spoke-

“I’m.. actually Barbatos. shhh.. you can't tell aannybody okay? its a secre- a secret.” He took his hands away and looked into his eyes waiting for a reaction. Aether couldn’t help but laugh a bit, faking a surprised expression. “Wow, really?” he gasped, his voice dripping in sarcasm. He reached into his back pocket and slipped a couple mora bills under the half filled glass. But knowing Venti, that wouldn’t be nearly enough to cover his tab. Poor master Diluc...

“ye- *hic* yeah! I'm like.. alot old. what's the word.. chemistry?” he mumbled, in deep thought. Which is probably why he didn't notice when Aether slowly led him out the tavern and got his own teapot out, because archons know where Venti spends his nights.

“Cen.. centuries! Yeah.. yeah that- that's the word. it means like.. centurie- oh! that was fast.. you're a fast walker..” he slurred his words, leaning his head on Aether’s shoulder.. “I’ll take you to bed, come on.” he insisted softly, leading him up the stairs and into his bedroom. Within seconds of noticing the bed, he tilted his head up all the way and reached out to it only for his arm to slump back down lazily.

Aether complied, sitting him up on the bed and reaching over to the side table to get a bottle of water. “..you- you're not gonna make me drink that. right?”

….

“..right?”

with a loud groan Venti flopped onto his back and turned away. “Nooo- sont- dont make *hic* -make me..”

“Come on, if you don’t drink this now you're gonna feel especially sick in the morning. Trust me, it's not fun..” he shuttered slightly, remembering the feeling of a particularly bad hangover.

“I don’t care! you- you're bad! you're a bad bad man Aether- you're the worst! i'm not- *hic!* touching your weird, clear, tasteless drink!!”

Aether sighed, setting the bottle back. “..You're drinking it, whether you like it or not. And if it means I have to take some drastic measures, so be it." He said, a serious facade on his face.

The drunkard bard seemingly taking it seriously had wide eyes and a small smile as he spoke;“Huh?! dr- *hic!* drastic! what are you gon- AH! Aethther! dohont- dohohnt yohou dahahare!”

In a swift motion, Aether hand gently moved his hands to scribble across Venti’s upper ribs, giggling softly along with him.

“Oh, I do dare. You know how to make it stop Venti~” The traveller smiled softly, his hands skilfully scratching in between the little bones all the way down to his waist. Venti dug his head into the mattress, kicking his feet out behind him as he squirmed. “ahahE!- noho! Ihi dohon’t wahahant to! goHo awahay!” His hands pressed into the mattress with all the strength he could muster up while like this (Which in all honesty wasnt alot, especially for an archon..) , his wide smile on display.

“Awh, Venti.. Has anyone ever told you that you have a very pretty smile?” He said softly, his fingers massaging into the other’s waist over the lazily tied corset. Venti let out a loud hiccup in between his giggling, shaking his head left to right. “eheno! stohhop teheasing meheee!”

Aether chuckled with a gentle tone in his voice, blunt nails dragging down to where his hips met his thighs, digging in between. “Oh, but I would never tease you, wouldn't even dream of it, Venti.”

Okay, now he was definitely teasing..

Venti’s legs continued kicking, his hands shot up at Aether’s shoulders with a tight grip. “What, you don't like it here? Right here?” The blonde spoke, scribbling his fingers along his lower hips.

“Aehetherrrr~! ihi am- I aham a archon!”

“Yeah, a very giggly one in your case.”

“Aham nohot!” He argued back even through the said giggles, denying any sort of claims. “A drunk one?” Aether counter-offered, his hands travelling down to squish at the sides of his thighs.

“Nohot druhunk! juhust hahappy! I alreheady said that, I thi- wahait wait!” He repeated his phrase from earlier before jolting, his knees trying to curl up to his chest. “What, hm? You're gonna drink some water now?” He asked, fingertips momentarily stilling but continuing to rest on the spot.

“Waihit- juhust wahait..” He insisted, letting out soft breathy giggles as he caught his breath. “Thahats- thats not fair.”

“Ihits not fair?” The traveller repeated, a slight laugh of his own leaving his lips. “And why is that?”

“Because- behecause I have my things on! And thats- its soho bad, so you can’t.” He explained drunkenly, a hand pulling at his own tights to give further example.

“Oh I can’t?” He pressed his finger pads into the small diamonds on the patterned tights, enlightening a giggly gasp from the other. “Are you sure I can’t?”

“..No.” Venti mumbled, a soft squeal escaping his throat when he felt the hands suddenly attach themselves onto his knees and squeeze.

“You're so stubborn, just give upp~ I need to get you to bed, yknow.” Aether shrugged, talking like he was completely oblivious to what he was doing.

Venti didn’t reply, maybe a few babbles about how ‘he wasn’t a baby’, which the blonde simply countered with the reminder that he had his head thrown back because he was just that childishly ticklish. He honestly had never seen him shut up so quickly.. he's definitely gonna use this for blackmail.

“Okahay okay!” He exclaimed dramatically inbetween his squeals, “Stohop, ihim gohonna die!”

“Dramatic, but okay.” He chuckled, rubbing the left over tingles away. “You're done with your little tantrum? You’ll drink it?”

“..I want apple juice.”

“I’ll take it.”

[beylinine]

looks like someone was 360 behind the back no-scoped in the 17th century. and you know what? its only going to get worse

Arthur James Kirkland headcanons

There will be no intermission and I will try to be normal. Relating to EN and his relationships and general person ig. History words will be used just fyi i gotta make use of this degree i can taste it already. Will I bring up the fact that I'm studying history everytime I ramble about hetalia? Yes, anyways. 

Was Arthur’s life ever truly peaceful? Well no. personifications never know peace ToT:

I sorta mentioned this in (this) ramble on personhood, but oh my god, when he was a 'preteen' to 'early adult' he really was 360 behind the back no-scoped throughout the late 16th to early 19th centuries (which inspired my drawings)

He did go out and explore during the 16th century (and a bit during the 18th cen.) but between the reign of James I (left pic) and Will & Mary (right pic),,,just,, yikes. but puberty does that to all of us.

Fashion historians please dont come for me regarding the outfits i tried ToT. But on the topic, while he would be out sailing the seas he enjoyed having his hair messy and natural, brushing it slightly imo for royal occasions. But as he had to grow and learn more, he began 'dyeing' his hair with different powders (i cant explain but google can sos ToT) as blonde hair was seen as a more 'feminine' hair colour and Arthur was a growing into a 'man' so he wanted to appear as such (especially when you think of his older brother, the dark haired Alasdair) Green eyes were also seen as odd (i think?) but cant do anything about that lol.

-Lots of burnt hair when the brothers would attempt to curl their hair for royal occasions oop

As the personifications are their own persons, with their own emotions and beliefs and whatnot, that can sometimes get clouded with the intent of the 'boss'. So do all his brothers 'hate' him? I don't truly think so, but since they have all had long complicated histories as themselves and as nations, the reality in their minds get murky. But when Arthur was a 'boy & teen' and was having to fight his older brothers? Oh yeah, he was crying whenever he could 😭 Like to believe that as the older brothers, Alasdair (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿) and Dylan (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿) did feel bad in some way seeing as they had to go years fighting and personally ignoring their baby brother.

Pre-roman Britain brother relationships my beloved. Little infant Arthur (based on The Beautiful World Christmas episode where they showed little FRA and tiny ENG wrapped up in a blanket)

and I say pre-roman because the Romans built a wall between England and Scotland and tried to build a ditch between Wales and England (that wasnt done until Anglo-Saxon times (which is when I believe Arthur managed to at least stand on his own two feet and talk yee old english), Offa's Dyke for those interested), brothers were definitely not happy about that (canon cue the brothers sending little Arthur curses and birds to attack him).

and pre-Norman because France doesn't start appearing around Arthur until Arthur is slightly older. Dylan took care the little nugget, a bit reluctant of letting humans coddle the 'baby'. Get that baby practicing magic ASAP (stayc girls its going down).

Speaking of Anglo-Saxon times, vikings! Vikings invaded different parts of the British Isles. So you would think there's bad vibes between Norway and Denmark and the British bros, but we don't see that in the show (some in the comics over blockades i think). If anything, Norway and England are friends that bond over magic (Christmas 2011 comics), All this to say some of the behaviour the personifications demonstrate are deliberately their own (i just wanted to say that FRA is just a big douche).

I know i said earlier that Arthur didnt leave England much during the reign of the Stuarts, but I believe he would sometimes just have enough and try to runaway onto new world ships and eventually was officially sent more often in the early 1700s

More on Arthur's relationship with his older brothers Dylan and Alasdair!

Based on geography alone, Arthur spent more time with Dylan. Even when the humans would try to separate them, they would find ways to meet by the marches (areas between ENG & WAL) or in Northern ENG whenever Alasdair had time to meet.

ENG and WAL were not "united" until the 15th century and SCT joined two centuries later, so it wasnt until then that the brothers were allowed to officially meet or gather (and then civil war breaks out, take a shot everything i mention it)

I like to think the brothers had a place in each of their nations where they could go get away from the humans and just live together (and that continues to this day, they yearn for the mountains; it was mentioned in the Hetalia Collezione profile that Arthur just wants nothing to happen -a phone that doesnt ring and a newspaper with no news or smth- like omg,,, he wants that grass so effing bad)

Real brotherly relationships through and through, the bants, the fights, just lads being bros. i love the family relationships hetalia has ToT <3

This is where I ramble about Arthur's relationship with Alfred and Matthew sit down yall:

Going off to see his younger brothers was a relief for Arthur from the national and international chaos he had over his 'late teen to early adult' years

Being the youngest after so many years, this was his chance to raise others, it would work out gr- (i was then shot 47 times)

-Ok but honestly, he constantly mentions (in manga panels relating to colonial americas) how being in the new world and being able to take care of his brothers like make food for them, is a stress reliever. He always apologizes for having to be away or having to leave quickly, saying how he knows what its like to be alone (curse you romans)

-And Arthur is just genuinely interested in having a good relationship with his new brothers (see: him looking at Matthew as his own person when they meet and not as just a piece of land with resources, I will talk about this manga chapter until the end of time HWS Chapter 192 my beloved) (also: when Alfred is trying to find Davie's flower and Arthur brings him some from England, even if it had to take a while but again, chaos at home so ToT it all ties back to how things that happened are out of his personal control even when he tried his best to make stuff work out) and he wants to do his best 'raising them' for the scary reality of being what they are after he just had his centuries of chaos

Mentioned this in my last ramble as well, but this genuine connection being then cut in the late 1700s went beyond mental and emotional turmoil, leading to Arthur getting ill and being looked over by Matthew for a bit (leading to Matthew and Alfred having a genuine argument not relating to them as countries, yall i cant do this anymore) 

General current person headcanons:

He is an excellent baker, I will die on this hill populated by sheep. All the brothers are, really (can personally only vouch for GB bros, I have not set food in the land of Ire for more than a layover sos ToT) Yorkshire puddings my beloved

Loves to bake pastries and desserts from other places and will send said representation an email/whatsapp asking for recipe ideas (he is so email/whatsapp just like me,,, just like me.)

Yes, Arthur is a London Boy…but before there was London there was Manchestaaa! That man spawned somewhere in (historic) Lancashire, I know it (plus War of the Roses and all that, fun little historical importance tie 

He can drive and I would trust him to do so, but definitely prefers public transport (and will complain about it at the same time, proper brit!)

Can he swim? Yes…not very well. He can stay afloat for a few minutes before he begins to panic. 

Arthur needs so much therapy but that is not an option so collecting old books and writing as a hobby to cope it is then? 

Truly would be a great writer (going off of all the famous English works ofc), but would dabble in painting, knitting and sewing, and music (which, as we all know, he loves to the point of having an electric guitar tattoo on his ass) 

Definitely one of those pretentious old music collecting snobs, but enjoys supporting small and local indie-punk rock bands (is loving the Charli renaissance and PinkPantheress era he's so proud)

He is an emotional and sleepy drunk as seen in the comics and show. He will be crying over his past mistakes one minute and snoring over the table the next.

Sports are serious business in the british household. World cup 2022 wales vs england? Oh that was a weekend rager even though the match was during a weekday (based on witnessing the rivalries irl, it was serious yall) Snacks are always a must and even when absolutely hammered, he will clean up as to not deal with it the next day

Would put his phone of selective notifications or Do Not Disturb from time to time until the government comes knocking

Human stuff:

Between 28 to 32 years old. Would have gone to school for English literature and publishing up to Masters, getting a job at a publishing company with the dream of one day being published himself. 

Lives the London hustle life in a fancy flat, but is very Montgomery Ricky “you want a garden but you got a balcony” coded as he had grown up in a suburban house with his family and yearns for that quiet life again but believes he needs to be in the city in order to get somewhere. 

Unlike in Gangsta AU, the brothers are actually related in my head and heart ToT. All raised by their mummsy. Dylan and Alasdair different dad from Arthur, but its the mom’s side that counts as we all know

loser failure bisexual of course 

Cant think of anything else rn, so i’ll end it here by saying he would use reading glasses by like age 25 lol

Killer if u are seeing this answer ur stupid inbox questions i need to ramble about rigel and cen

[centroverted]

random cen shit

Im graduating college in a little over a two weeks!! Finally!! With a bachelor's in creative writing!!

houghghh,,..,...,.,,.

[xxx-theartofsuicide-xxx]

Hello! Hope you’re well and don’t mind me rambling some thoughts out about both the various iterations 💜 My introduction to the whole beetlejuice universe was the musical, which may play into my bias towards it. There’s a lot I like about it, like the whole Dead Mom aspect made for some compelling discussions with my best friend about childhood emotional neglect— I think the whole theme of grief and invisibility and CEN was actually really good, and I personally like the songs and Alex Brightman’s performance. It’s definitely a different story from the original movie, no doubt no doubt. I also find it ironic that it’s what got me into beetlebabes by starting me out on shipping musicalbabes, when shipping musicalbabes is hard when there’s antis and even the show itself isn’t exactly supportive. Musicalbabes enjoyers who were able to thread the needle or square that circle or whatever… y’all have my respect. And I don’t love that AB’s statement effectively enabled the antis! He really could’ve just said it’s not his cup of tea but that Harassment Bad! (That said, I don’t know how the dots connect leading to him owing Winona Ryder an apology, but that’s just because I don’t know everything and would appreciate enlightenment)

Either way, I’m really happy I watched the movie last week and the sequel today 🤗 The first movie wasn’t entirely my thing but I can see why it’s iconic, and the sequel? That was just made By beetlebabes enjoyers, For beetlebabes enjoyers, and I love that for all of us!

I posted my first beetlebabes fanfic on fanfiction.net in 2008 when I was fourteen years old, if that tells you anything about how long I've been here.

I was never allowed to enjoy the musical. Before a boot was available, ignorant children who had never seen the cartoon or the movie were calling me a pedophile. Needless to say, my taste for it was soured. Nothing I've learned about it since has ever managed to reinspire that initial curiosity.

The facts are that Brightman put on the suit and said what he did and poured gasoline on a fire that didn't need feeding. It's funny to joke that he owes me and Winona an apology, but I don't actually believe in witch hunts. I am interested to see how well his career fares from here on out. It's pretty obvious to me that he's pissed off some important people.

I'm glad the musical could do what it did for you, at least. You should give the cartoon a try.

Little side idea I had bouncing around in my brain

Includes 📰🍏 Paper Apple 🍎 🗞️ for those interested

Anyway…………

Skipp, one of the crafty scraps in Ramshackle, has recently found a way to make homemade paper. How did he acquire this skill? Probably being stoned out of his mind and experimenting with whatever was near, and then waking up to find the final result in the morning.

Skipp has been trying hard to perfect this new found skill because he thinks it would be useful ( he just wants something to do to forget about how $h!t his life turned out to be-)

Skipp was doing it to give more resources to Vinnie and Stone, maybe using the paper as extra cushion between them and the cobble stone when they go to bed. But then Skipp realized this skill is more useful than he thought since he has a certain newsie boy as a boyfriend who likes art.

Now Cen like any respectable scrap ,steals most of the time to get his resources. But for a few months now, hasn’t been able to pull a fast one on the old lady at the art supply store, which has left him with very little and limited supplies for his hobby. He has been through this before, so Cen knows how to scrape by with barely anything by finding and foraging his own supplies. But drawing on the side margins of the newspaper gets old after so long.

Skipp, knows this and just how bummed out Cen is because he can’t exercise his full creativity. So Skipp does what he can. He makes several batches of homemade paper,he finds some sturdy cardboard in the back of a random alley, and traded some trinkets with Franzwick to obtain a spool of thread and a needle. With all that Skipp then assembles a one of a kind homemade sketchbook for Cen. The book is a little janky, some paper sticking out of the cover in odd angles and it looks like it’s gonna disintegrate at any moment but it was made with love and good intentions.

Skipp is kinda proud of himself with his handy work, and writes a sweet little note at the very back of the sketchbook for Cen. And that very same day Skipp is off to go deliver the gift to the newsie he loves so much.

The second Cen sees what Skipp has brought him, he is a little confused at first. But the more Skipp rambled on about why he made the gift, Cen almost exploded. Cen couldn’t wrap his mind around why Skipp would go through so much trouble just because he couldn’t snatch any new supplies from himself, but Cen was grateful anyway. Cen of course didn’t say he was so grateful, instead deciding to tackle Skipp to the ground like a lovesick fool before trying to act all nonchalant about it.

Later on Skipp continues to hand craft Cen little sketchbooks and even made Rigel a few notebooks for his poetry. Why? Because Skipp is a giver and Skipp is also dating Cen, so it’s in his best interest to stay on Rigel’s good side.

Thats it, this idea was bouncing around my head for awhile now and I wanted to get it write it down before I forgot it. I just thought it was a cute idea, and Cen and Rigel have been on my mind lately, so I guess Rott’s newsie propaganda is working.

Anyway, love ya!!

Back again with my Wandee Goodday weekly rambling! I will say that, while I'm still adoring it, the editing is starting to feel weird? Like, I know there's not a cut and an uncut version but sometimes it feels like it.

But! I'm also the kind of person who can nitpick something I love to death, so I'm not going to do that because I'm trying to ~ac-cen-tchu-ate the positive as Mr Mercer wrote. And, like, I'm just here to see two beautiful idiots fall in love XD Anyway! Here we go:

- Dee going straight for the necklace! XD

- HAND HOLDING SHOT!!! Will never get enough of those!

- Love that they don't talk >:) (No, really, I'm not being sarcastic lol I love it haha)

- Aww, I want to know what the souvenir is!!

- Love their apologies! I especially love that he said he'd have let Yak beat Ter up if he wasn't a doctor 🤣

- Seriously, though, his apology made sense! I'm totally extrapolating(?) here but I almost feel like he didn't know why he acted the way he did in the moment

- Okay, kissing only once is silly 🤣 but I'm here for silly! And he did say Yak has to learn to wait, which must mean he does plan on kissing him again. At some point. I can just FEEL Kao's long suffering BFF senses tingling however many apartments away haha

- (I weirdly love being frustrated by shows I love??? Just me??)

- Awww! Love the scene with Yak and Yei <33

- Dee didn't feed him?? Tut tut, doctor! Not taking proper care of your boxer guy

- "Let's pound" uh, sure... But right in front of everyone? 🤣

- Lmaooooo, Cher! I love him! Telling Dee the necklace suits him better haha. I love the way that he and Yei have just accepted Dee into the fold and omg they don't know it's "fake" do they??? I would love to see their reactions

- I loved the whole som tam scene

- Hm. I guess Taem *does* like Yak then? Not really keen on that, but I'll just go wherever the show takes me, IDC

- Yak getting horny watching the others get oil massages lmao love that they used that 'o yeah' sound bite

- (actually, there's a bit in one of the songs that sounds like part of O Yeah by Yello)

- but he got his oil massage!! Dee is doing a thorough job

- Ahhh, Yak asking Yei about the consequences of him losing the fight!!! He looks so young there D: and I'm glad Dee asked some stuff, too!

- Okay, but what is UP with the Nazgûl dude???

- Dee knows Yak's lying!!

- ...wait, how does Dee know about the hallucinations to tell Kao? (Is it really a hallucination when you're asleep? Is that not just a dream? I'm guessing this is a translation thing though) Like, I can infer Yak told him at some point, but it feels like a weird choice to not show that. Whatever, I'm not going to think too hard about it

- Boo, Ter!!

- "No because I must bring my special someone" is the best response to Kwan asking if Dee was asking Ter out! Lmaooo (I paraphrased a bit I think)

- Okay, it's so funny that Dee knows Yak is his special someone and that's why he's asking him, and he's happy to let Kwan and Ter and whoever assume that, but he won't tell Yak 🤣

- "Just one more time" ??? One more time for what? Maybe I should stop watching this when it drops because I'm always half asleep by then lol

- Whatever Yak says about it would be nice to have someone cook for him every day and Dee's desperate 'oh pleeeease let it be meeeee' kinda look lol

- Costume time!!! They looked soooo good in the first ones (I don't know if they're specific characters or just traditional)

- I love how grandma describes dancing but I didn't note it down. Oops! It was lovely, though! And very true—you have to be in sync with your dance partner and you have to give and take equally, otherwise it's not going to work and you may hurt yourself or the other person

- Lmao, they're still pretending! So silly after the kiss and I LOVE IT! XD this is what happens when you don't talk. Please keep it up! lolll

- Tbh, I think Dee's equally afraid if he tells Yak how he feels he'll disappear now (he probably has abandonment issues, I get it! He said that thing about presents making him feel like he hadn't been forgotten about a child, so yeah...)

- Product placement time! There hasn't been much though

- Ooh, they're gonna get married :D

- Aww, that was a really sweet proposal!

- Thor is so much bigger than Fluke... Just needed to make a note of that lol

- More product placement!

- Dee! How are you going to feed your boxer man every day when you only have neatly arranged cartons of soy milk and a bowl of apples in your fridge??

- YAY ANOTHER HAIR DRYING SCENE!!! But this time with a hairdryer!!

- I knew Taem would be the reason Yak wasn't at the ball in the previews!

- gee, there aren't many people at the ball

- FUCK. OFF. TER!!

- Yak is going to rock up at the very last second...

- ngl, I thought Taem was into Ohm as well!

- Just say no, Dee! Just say no!

- I mean, that's a pretty good speech, pity who it's coming from lol

- Phew! He pushed him away! I knew he would, but still

- Yesssss! I actually fist pumped at Dee telling Ter he wouldn't be a good dance partner and that HE'S TOO VANILLA bahahahaha

- He was very gracious about it, too, which makes it even better

- Ooh, Ter's crying! Tbh, I'd feel bad for him if he wasn't a manipulative jerk XD he cries pretty, though

- Poor Dr Kwan!

- Dee waiting for Yak is breaking my heart!! Come onnnnn, Yak!

- YES!!! THERE HE IS! Cinderelly, you shall go to the ball! (IDK...)

- "My prince!" (x 2) Ahhhhhh!!!!!!! MY HEART!

- This is the most awkward dance routine lmao I kinda love it

- Ooh! Slow dance time!

- I THINK I LOVE YOU!

- (So what am I so afraid of, I'm afraid that there's no cure for, a love that I'm not sure of... Uh, ahem, where was I?)

- I think my whole heart leapt into my throat!! That was NOT what I was expecting at all and ahhhhhhhhh it was perfect! And Dee's happy little face!!!!! He's so amazed and happy and ahhhhh I don't want to wait seven days to see what happens next!!

-Also was that a new sing playing in that scene or something that already exists? Kinda sounded like Inn singing but idk

- Okay, but I am SO here for Yak trying to woo Dee next week lol like, he so doesn't have to, but I would definitely want to let the handsome man woo me for a little while too XD

- (I bet when Dee says enough and Yak's little face drops, it's going to be when he says the thing about loving Yak for who he is maybe, but IDK, I could be very wrong)

- Anyway. I THINK I LOVE YOU! Yesssss! Yak was so brave!! <333

[dragon-tummy]

3 am, almost 4 am, rambles.

Dunno why but my weed brain really really REALLY wants dragon Thoma. So I'll be talking about him.

Vore wasn't my focus for this, I'm just tryin to flesh out ideas that sound nice to me. I might add more to this later.

Probably poorly written but I'll find out when I wake up.

:3

For aus where I make characters monsters, dragons are my first thought for him. My dragon aus offer two forms beyond human, either (cen)taur or feral. It gives me a chance to make interactions with characters of varied sizes and worldbuilding opportunities.

Thoma would be pretty averagely sized, if just a bit more lithely muscled than other dragons. The term kobold comes to mind, but its more of a mean nickname to smaller dragons. Soft fluffy body. Scales dotted down the back break up the fur, a surprisingly unbalanced amount of fur to scales. His pyro doesn't seem to burn his fur, so it's not that big of a problem.

He trails after Aether, Ayato, and Childe often. The desire to tend to tasks for a dragon he sees as hard working and amazing is a strong one, his loyalty and eagerness to please leading him. Probably more characters like Neuvillette, Zhongli, and Ningguang but my brain is too squashed for many ideas.

He and Yoimiya tend to be saving a lot of regular humans from the chaos of Inazuma's varied dragon population. Because it's impossible to tell a kind dragon apart from a mean one, most humans don't know if a dragon is safe or not until its within reach.

Put me in tummy. Now.

Pyro themed stomach, a red to orange-yellow gradient. There's a magma pattern similar to that of a the underwater light pattern. Hard to explain like this, but it's the light u see on the ocean floor/distance n stuff.

Taur form, he holds people bridal style when awake and over the shoulder when asleep. There's the other option of uh... eating. But thats not special to a singular form.

Dragon ears are dog-like, one ear folded. Soft dragon paws and paw pads.

Dog-like habit of drooling when excited and licking others affectionately. The latter has gotten him into one too many weird situations with a smaller person. It's not his fault he gets overly eager! He just wants to have them as close as possible in his excitement. And that means in the mouth they go.

Aether is the person that has to listen to his rambles abt his day. Idly talking about a new recipe he tried making alongside chores done and things seen. Pair that with him doing something in taur form, he's bound to knock something over in his distraction. Surprisingly well balanced until he's set on a single goal, at which point he's very clumsy and unaware.

Big wings and feathery accents to indicate Mondstadt origin. Leans into the sky-related traits also including aerodynamically shaped horns and wider chest/ribs for larger lungs.
