If the Characters from Dream along with me were to meet the gang from Welcome Home, who would you think would get along great or the best with who?

Oh this was fun to think about!! It'll be long... excuse the word wall!

I think Archie would get along best with Julie Joyful and Barnaby Beagle! Julie and Barnaby both have friendly, goofy, fun-loving energy that Archie enjoys being around :o) Earl, Mae, and Lunette would love these two hooligans as well for obvious reasons! I feel like their energies would bounce off each other a lot in a funny way!

Mae would have an appreciation for Sally Starlet and Eddie Dear! Sally's bombastic theatre energy would draw Mae in and excite her! Eddie is relatable to her as the two are the apparent people-pleasers and Mae would sympathize a lot with his struggles. Mae would also be very drawn to Wally for reasons she can't explain, she just finds him charming and handsome :o) Poppy would also be a warm presence to her, and she'd view Poppy as an older sister/motherly figure to look up to.

Honeybell would hang out exclusively with Frank Frankly and they'd gossip with each other and share little theories about the friends around their neighborhoods HAHAHA! She'd also call Sally Starlet noisy to her face. (rude)😭 I think she'd also be drawn to Poppy's caring heart too!

Fiona would try to get on Howdy Pillar's good side to gain another client, honestly HAHA. I think she'd take Julie, Barns, and Wally on joyrides on her vespa, they'd all have a fun ole time (except Wally, who might not enjoy this) right up until she crashes it. She'd offer to deliver Poppy's baked goods to everyone around Home and Dreamalong (and give Mufflin a damn run for his money)

Teddy would try to flirt with Julie before getting an epic Frank smackdown. I don't think anybody from Home would like Teddy. 😂 Perhaps he'd be tolerated by Barnaby and Howdy (moreso frienemies with Howdy). He'd have a rivalry with Sally Starlet that's petty and stupid. He harbors a raging jealousy of Wally.

Mufflin and Bertie would absolutely not go near Howdy with a ten foot pole-- Bertie would probably get some underhanded insults from Howdy for being a slow speaker, and Mufflin is experienced enough to spot a jerk when he sees one 😭 Mufflin wouldn't know how to feel about Wally, torn between feeling off with him and wanting to comfort him.

Roy would find Howdy delightful and get into staring battles with Wally before breaking out into wild, unhinged laughter.

[syntheticcharmva]

Let's say, both Welcome Home, and DAWM had official international dubs.

What voice actor claims you'd claim for Howdy, Barnaby and Roy?

Hmmm ya know i don't know enough about actors in different countries. BUT I'M SUPER CURIOUS.

So i'd rather hear all of you guys' voice claims. feel free to share in reblogs n such i'll give em all a look see

[shantimochi]

Who are the characters you're the most excited to see appear in the show or feel the most relatable to in DAWM?

Oh, and I just love how small, cozy, and friendly the DAWM fandom is!

There's no drama, everyone's so friendly and kind, little to no bad apples, no ship wars, etc. it's so nice here!

Looking forward to seeing the show once it arrives! And happy late thanksgiving! 😁

Oh I’m excited for every one of the characters really! There has been so much talent that has been poured into different aspects of the characters whether that be with design and writing, or voice work— Even their quirks and the way they carry themselves! All dripping with personality!

Earl is my personal favorite- he’s a blast to work on and has a lot of layers that I’m excited for the audience to have fun and play with. :]

I think I relate to several of them in different ways! As I hope you all will too 💖

There is something in them for everyone!

I get what you mean by how cozy the fandom feels! It’s always a bit of an adjustment for Mage and I when something blows up and suddenly there are more eyes on it than before. People can be kind of wild depending on the platform, (as is the way of the internet) but overall, the people who stick around have been the kindest, most supportive fans and it’s been a real honor to have ya’ll along for the ride in the early stages of the project!

You're Drunk babe

Summary:where Jude is Drunk and the reader has to deal with him

A/N: requests are open

Jude and I are at a club after his training and he's got a week before he has to Report back to club duty so we're spending as much time as possible

I see jude take his 9th shot of the night and I slightly begin to become concerned as this means I have to drive us home, because there is no way he is

"Babe come dance with me" he says

"Jude I can't, I need to make sure you're ok"

"I am, now stop worrying and relax and come dance with me

" Go ahead babe, I'll wait for you here, plus you need it more than me with how hard you've been working"

He stares at me for a while then kisses me on my forehead "I love you" and blends in with the crowd

I sip on my lemon water and slightly boping to the music playing

After 15 minutes I get bored and try to find Jude because I wanna go home

" Mate, what's your problem, I was just trying to get my drink"

" you did it on purpose"

"Oh get over it it's not like you died" Jude says walking away

"Hey love, you alright?"

"Yeah, you ready to go home?"

"Yeah c'mon let's go"

We walk out the club and to the car, I get into the driver seat and Jude in the passenger seat and start the car

"So this is what it feels like to be a passenger princess" He says clearly drunk

"Yep" I say

"You know, some times I wonder what would happen if... if... if, shit I forgot what I wanted to say"

I laugh at him and continue to focus on the road ahead

"Babe?" He says

"Yeah"

"Where are we going?"

"Home Jude"

"Can we take a roadtrip?"

"Not now hunny, first I need to get you home"

"Ok, babe?"

"Yeah"

"Can you please give me a kiss"

"No Jude I'm driving"

"I'll take the wheel" he says

"You'll kill us before we even get to live our lives together"

" Y/n?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you "

"I love you Jude"

I turn my head to see him fast asleep

When we arrive at the house I park the car in the Garage and wake Jude up

"Jude, Jude, babe wake up"

He wakes up and looks at me like he's just seen a Ghost

"C'mon we've arrived, let's go to bed" I say

We walk out the Garage with his arm around my shoulder with most of his weight on me

We walk into the house and walk up the stairs

I toss him in the bed and start undoing his pants and pull them down

"What's, what's happening he says abruptly waking up"

"Calm down it's just me"

"Oh" he says laying back onto the bed

He slightly turns his head to his left hand

And sees his ring

"Sorry lady that's undressing me what's that thing on my hand"

I look at him confused

"Uhm, your wedding ring I say"

"Wait what I'm married" he says

"Yep"

"Then get off me, my wife might walk in and think something is happening"

"Jude, how much did you drink tonight"

"I don't know, but what I know is that my wife won't be happ you seeing you undress me"

"Jude I am your wife"

"Wait really?"

"Yeah, babe we've been married for 3 years now"

"Wait so you're my wife"

"That's what I just said"

"Shit"

"What?"

"Nothing just thinking how beautiful you are, and you're my wife?"

"Yep"

"Dawm, that's mental, you're so beautiful"

I laugh at him and continue changing his clothes

"There you go now you're ready for bed"

"Thank you my beautiful wife"

I smile at his comment and make my way to the bathroom, so I can get ready for bed myself

"Where are you going?" He asks

" The bathroom"

"Can you leave the door open, so I can still hear your voice"

"Weird but ok"

I do as he asked and he starts asking me questions

"So how did we meet"

"We met at a meet and greet when you were signing shirts and posters for fans and I was one of them"

"Did I look good though?"

"Yeah babe you looked hot"

"What else"

"What else do you want to know"

"Did you ever hate me?"

"Nope if I did then I wouldn't be where I am right now"

"Right"

I walk out the bathroom and make my way to bed

"Can you come closer, I wanna cuddle" he says

I shift closer to him and he wraps his arms around me and his head on my shoulder

He pecks my neck and falls asleep

Permission to start my chaos asks of unhinged Virgil again?

As much as I love the fluff and NSFW I missed making him unhinged af because gahd dawm is he hot af while unhinged

He likes to watch you, especially when you sleep :)

At times he even lays down in bed with you and stares. Of course he won’t touch you. Not without your consent. He wouldn’t dare betray your trust!

He can be a bit delusional at times. Like I said, his common trait in every versions of Virgil is being a caretaker, he enjoys to taking care of someone. And he still is! Just uhhh somewhat twisted that he didn’t even notice!

He love to wear your clothes! It gives him the comfort that you’re with him! (Even if you’re not at the time-) but don’t worry! He’ll always wash them! Just don’t ask why some of your undergarments are missing he has no idea why! Maybe you have misplace somewhere?

He has this weird fascination about staring your face (yes that’s right more staring!) he likes to see every single detail of your face, your eyes, your lips, your nose, your flesh, everything, staring at you so your face can burn inside his memory forever.

He has your ip, your home address too, your government file says a lot about you/j

Hi! I hope you're doing well in the pilot animation but if you don't mind asking, what is mae & honeybell relationship is like?

AH THANK YOU I am looking forward to what we'll be releasing this year for you! A lot of life's ups and downs have caught me off-guard this year but I'm back in the stride of things!

OOOO YAY A MAE AND HONEYBELL QUESTION!! Let's see... let me ask them... They're slumber party pals 🥹����💜 Honeybell is Mae's wise, intellectually dependable friend that she can depend on for life advice, and Mae is Honeybell's soft filter on life that helps her face her daily burdens.

Mae's naivete frustrates Honeybell though, and Honeybell's impatience with high-energy antics makes Mae feel somewhat repressed sometimes, requiring more of a social battery for their interactions. There's little things about each other that annoys the other but they try to accept each other for their faults! They still love each other! :oD

Mae: Earl said something about mixing rubbing alcohol and bleach to get tough spots out, I might-- Honeybell: GIRL NO!!!! NO!!!!!

Genesis 1

In the beginning, we’re told, there was gods.

Yes, gods. Don’t like it? Take issue with the original: “אֱלהִים” wasn’t my idea. Stupid idea, if you ask me, pluralizing “אֱלוֹהַּ.” Did I ask the original writers of this book to do that? No. It was all their brilliant idea. Why did they think this was a good idea? I don’t know! Do I look like a necro-telepath to you?

Anyhow. In the beginning, there was gods. And gods went right ahead and created the ground and the space above the ground. Also there was a lot of water. And things were dark, because there wasn’t any light.

Also the spirit (or wind or breath or mind or…) of gods was hovering over the water, which I guess is to give us an idea of where they were in all this.

So we’ve got some ground, and some water, and some space, and a gods.

Then gods goes ahead and speaks light into existence. That’s right: they “hey, Siri”d light into existence, except without Siri because they’re gods and whatever they command just plain happens. Poof, light. Nothing emitting it. Nowhere for it to come from. But hey—there’s light. Completely and utterly sourceless. Don’t ask me how that works, because I have no idea. So far as I know it’s actually impossible. But here we are. Gods, right?

Next gods takes a look at the light and decides it’s all right. So they divide it from the darkness, which… apparently didn’t happen automatically. Strange, you’d think it would. How could light not be divided from darkness?

If you’ve got photons, you haven’t got an absence of photons. Got an absence of photons? Boy, do I have news for you: you haven’t got any photons!

But somehow light (the presence of photons) was indistinguishable from darkness (the absence of photons) until gods separated the two. How is this possible? I don’t know! This makes no sense whatsoever! Ahahaha! Gods, amiright?

Anyway.

Gods’s next move is to call the light “day” and the darkness “night.”

Oh, so we’re talking about some generalized light and darkness here, not “I lit a candle so now it’s day in my room” stuff… right? Right?

Note that there’s still no source for the light. “The sun is shining on this part of the planet, so it’s day here” is not a thing. Day is completely independent of the sun. The light fades out—evening—and fades back in—morning—and here we are, the first day. With no sun. Just light. Coming from… nowhere. Gods, man. They make no sense. Presumably there was a night in between that evening and morning somewhere, but who knows?

[cough]

So. Gods’s next move, on this first day of all days, is to create a firmament.

What the heck is a firmament.

“רָקִיעַ,” as it turns out, is an “extended surface.” So that’s what a firmament is: it’s a solid, flat, long and wide thing that’s useful as a base or a support. All right. Fine.

Where does gods put this firmament? Uh… in the water. Dividing it. So there’s some water below this firm, extended surface, and some water above it. And gods calls this thing “sky,” which is… interesting, because I’m pretty sure no airplanes or rockets or what-have-you have ever run into a firm, extended surface anywhere up there in the sky, and there’s no water outside the atmosphere, so—

No, no, don’t stone me.

If the Bible says the sky is a solid thing with water above it, well. Who am I to question the Bible, right? I’m sure there wouldn’t be any misinformation in here. The Bible is a great source of scientific knowledge, or so I’ve been repeatedly told.

Maybe there was an OS update later, or something. “Remove solid sky.” Who knows? Gods move in mysterious ways.

So. Speaking the sky into existence in the midst of the waters so as to put some water above it and some water below it takes up the whole of the first day! The completely sourceless light fades out, then back in again, starting up the second sunless day. Was there a night in there? Who knows! It’s not mentioned! You’d think we could assume, but—gods! Gods be weird, man. They might just be skipping it.

Second day, gods talks the water under the sky into bunching up into one spot so as to clear some dry land. You’d think this would result in a big pile of water towering over the land, but—gods! Maybe it was like that. Maybe it wasn’t. We don’t know.

Anyway, gods names the gathered-together water “sea” and the dry land “earth.”

Gods checks out what they’ve got so far, and decides it’s good.

This doesn’t take all day, by the way! They’ve still got time, so next they tell “earth” to sprout some plants: stuff that produces seeds and stuff that produces fruit that’s got seeds in it and stuff that produces fruit that is a seed. So… potatoes? Strawberries? Almond trees? Sunflowers? That kind of thing, I guess.

And earth sprouts the stuff. Pretty good considering gods never bothered to create any helpful microorganisms. Or a sun. And that they put all the water in existence either on the other side of the sky or in a big heap off to the side somewhere.

Gods, man. I know I keep saying it, but they defy reason, they really do.

So. They check it all out and go, “Yup, that’ll work.” And just in time, too, because the light fades out and back in again, and the third day starts.

Third day, gods figures it’s finally time for some sky decoration.

Why a sun is needed to shed light on the earth during the day when we’ve already had two perfectly well-lit days with no sun at all, gods only knows. The moon and stars make a little more sense, since light’s been completely excluded from the night—but wait, isn’t light day? And doesn’t sticking day into night kind of….

Well, never mind.

The point is, gods speaks a whole lot of lights into existence: a big one, a smaller one, and a lot of really little ones.

The idea is that these will really set the day and night apart from one another all fancy-like, and also they’ll be good for miraculous signs and omens and showing people what day or year or season it is. Super handy.

Now, don’t you get on my case about the sun and moon and stars being set up deliberately for use as signs from on high. This wasn’t my idea. “וְהָי֤וּ לְאֹתֹת֙,” gods says: “let them be for signs, omens, warnings, assurances.” I didn’t write this. Stop glaring at me like I invented the idea of the horoscope.

[sigh]

Well. So. Gods sets all these lights in the firmament. Yes, that’s right—in the firm stretched-out thing dividing the water under itself from the water above itself. Right inside it.

Don’t look at me like that. It’s not me that says this, it’s the Bible.

Incidentally, the sun and moon and stars are all the same type of thing: lights. Every one of them is a luminary—you know, an object that gives off light, a source of light.

Stop looking at me like that.

I’m not the one who says the moon is the same type of thing as the sun, only lesser. Anyway, who are you to say the moon doesn’t produce light? The Bible says it’s the same thing as the sun, just smaller and weaker! Who are you to question the Bible, huh?

So the sun and the moon and all the stars are inside the solid expanse of the sky, which has water above it. I don’t make the rules.

This little job takes all of the third day.

That’s right: commanding things into existence is time-consuming work.

The light fades, presumably taking the sun with it this time, then comes back again (probably bringing the sun with it this time, too), and here we are: the fourth day.

Gods commands the water to produce a whole bunch of living things. Does this include the water above the sky? That is up for debate! The Bible never says. Maybe there are fish above the sky. Maybe there aren’t. We don’t know, because we aren’t told. We could make guesses, or assume, but—gods, over here. Anything is possible.

Gods also commands there to be flying things, to fly above the earth, across the face of the sky.

So over the earth, under (but right up against) the firmament.

And that’s how everything in the sea and everything that flies got created. Right there and then. Fourth day. Gods checks it all out and yup, it’s good. But they’re not done there, oh no. They gotta endow all these creatures with the ability to reproduce. So they do that, and then they’re done, and the day is over.

Evening, morning, fifth day.

Would this be a good time to mention that traditionally, for the people who first believed this book, each new day starts at sunset? Sun sets, one day’s over, the next one’s started. So technically Wednesday night belongs to Thursday.

Yeah, not really important. Just a side note. Fifth day!

On the fifth day, gods tells the earth to sprout living creatures. Yeah, it’s the same word from when the earth sprouted plants. “יָצָא.” Once again, not my idea.

So the earth sprouts mammals and reptiles and bugs and all that.

Gotta emphasize here—this is gods making this stuff. Not the earth. Gods told the earth to do it and the earth did it, but that still counts as gods doing it. Okey-doke? Good. Glad we’re on the same page.

Gods inspects the lot and calls it good.

You ever notice what things gods inspects and what things they don’t? The ground and the space above it and the water—they never inspected that. Never checked it out and saw it was good. The darkness? Nope. Just assumed that one was all right, I guess. The firmament? Once again, free pass.

Anyway, creating every living creature on the land that doesn’t fly takes less time than creating a firmament, so gods goes on to another project.

“Let us make ‘Adam’ in our image, similar to us, and have it dominate all over living things and even the earth itself!”

Yeah, “אָדָם,” “aw-dawm, adam.” Just means “human,” basically. Or “man.”

Hey, “man,” “human,” what’s the difference?

So poof, there’s Adam, or Human, or Man—whatever you want to call it. Created in the image of gods, male and female.

...Okay, okay, I hear you! First we’ve got the plural “אֱלהִים” for one being, so I’m stuck saying “gods” when there’s a perfectly good singular “אֱלוֹהַּ” available, but I can’t use it and just say “god” because that’s not what the Bible says—and now we’ve got the singular “אָדָם” but it’s male and female so there must be two of it, right? Or is it intersex? Are “gods” a single being? Is “Adam” more than one person? Gaaaah!

The only thing to do is look at what the divinely inspired writer is actually saying.

Gods is plural. Adam is singular. Multiple gods created a single human, and that human was both male and female.

“But,” I hear you say, “this isn’t what I was taught in church!”

Well, I can’t help that, can I? It’s what the Bible says! It’s right there in divinely inspired black and white! “אֱלהִים” is plural! “הָֽאָדָם” is singular! This isn’t my idea! It clashes with what I was taught, too! But here it is! You want me to pretend these aren’t the words this divinely inspired writer used?

Thank you.

The gods endow this dual-sexed being with the ability to reproduce itself using basically the same words they used to bless the sea creatures and the flying things with that ability—“be fruitful and multiply”—which I guess means asexual reproduction was the original plan for humanity. Then again, who knows? These are gods. Maybe the plan was for Adam to split into two for the act, then recombine. Or some other weird thing that I can’t even think of. They’re, you know… gods. Anything is possible.

Incidentally, Adam is another thing that gets a free pass on the inspection deal! The gods don’t bother to check and see if Adam’s any good, nope. They just charge right on ahead into setting up what Adam’s going to eat (seeds and fruit, in case you were wondering), and what the other non-sea-based creatures are going to eat (the plants themselves).

Yes, vultures ate plants. Lions ate plants. Mosquitoes ate plants. Don’t question it. These are gods. They can do what they want.

Still the fifth day here, in case you were curious. Unless the time before light and darkness got separated counts as a day, in which case it’s the sixth day—but still. This is a lot to get done in one day. Guess they’re really hitting their stride, these gods.

And they’ve got time left, so they look over everything they’ve made and decide it’s all a-okay.

Evening, morning, sixth day starts.

Or seventh, depending on how you’re counting.

Can I just say I absolutely adore the Dream setting DAWM has? You rarely, ever, ever see media take place in a full on Dream setting and only Dream setting.

I wish more media would do that, as there’s no limitation to what you can do, plus lots of creative space to let your imagination run wild!

Oh same here! The moment I laid eyes on the project I fell in love with the dream setting it took place in and the soft aesthetics that come with it. It’s so conducive for nostalgia, the unexplainable, and the spooky! It really does feel limitless for what can be done and it’s very fun to play around with.

There’s some really cool world building that Mage has done with the dream setting in mind. We’re all stoked to show it off when the time comes!

Hello! I've been playing hzd and I'm level 23 now and I feel like I burn through my medicine pouch and potions very quickly when I'm in fights? I try to be stealthy but when that fails I feel like I'm screwed. Would you reccommend any equipment or mods that would make Aloy more formidable? Thank you!

Utilize all of your traps, they will save your ass every time. For emergency health situation, the first step is upgrading your medicine and potions pouch (pick all the plants whenever you can) so you have the max safety cushion. Other than that, stock up on all the health potions when you are buying from merchants. I can’t remember what it’s called but get the yellow one for sure because it has an armor element to it. And if you have melee/fire/shock resistant modification weaves, apply those to Aloy’s outfits.

Biblical Names We Pronounce Incorrectly

            On Facebook I am a part of several nerd related grounds. Many of them are not Christian. One group in particular, “Galactic Hitchhikers” is almost anti-Christian. This group formed out of a community love for a fantastic novel and its sequels: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Many memes on this page include anything related to sci-fi, space, movie adaptations, quotations, evolution and even Christian shaming. One thing I have noticed, besides the lack of Christian content, was one reason why several of the group’s members find Christianity “bogus”. When I read about it, I thought, “This is a relatively easy problem to solve, if we can get Christians on board.”  Some people are put-off by the Anglican/American pronunciations of Hebrew and Greek names in the Bible. They ask, “How can a dark haired middle-eastern man be named David? Or Joseph? Or fill-in-the blank.” They believe that if we are authentic (and we absolutely should be authentic), how could our English pronunciations infiltrate? To them, they think our pronunciations of Biblical names, were the actual names of everyone we read about, and they can’t stand it.

           As Christians, and especially the preachers of the Gospel, we do not want our actions to deter anyone from coming to the saving power of Jesus Christ. Every decision we make has a cause and effect. So, if people aren’t coming to Christ because of our “simple” pronunciations, then we should change, or at the very least, learn that our pronunciations are actually wrong.

           If we want to be as authentic as possible, we should learn the proper names of all of our favorite Biblical characters, especially when the salvation of others is at stake. To you, it might seen like a silly, insignificant thing, but to those who recognize it, it is significant. I am not suggesting that we learn the proper names and then use them only—we just need to be aware that we, as English/Anglican speakers, are not doing it justice.

           This multi-part series investigates the correct pronunciations of Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek names in the Bible. The source I am going to be using is “The New Strong’s Complete Dictionary of Bible Words (1996) by James Strong. (This is not a complete list of all Biblical names.)

I defiantly think there should be a Rhaegar appreciation week he's a very loved by people of Westeros yet half of the fandom wants to villanize him so badly because they have the headanons that he was a crazy obsessed prophecy maniac who was a horrible father and husband without bothering to wait for the whole story to be told.I would love to take part in an apprication week for him but since I can't make any gifts I'm not sure how I can help.

Rhaegar deserves an appreciation week for sure :) I will try to ask around, to find people who would like to participate. Maybe you could make edits or write metas instead of gifs? Or just spread the idea. It would be help enough :)

And don’t worry, overall Rhaegar is loved in the fandom. He has only a little niche of haters, and some of them are on Tumblr (and their irrational hate here is 100% fueled by the socioracial atmosphere of USA; if Rhaegar was a “POC” they would adore him). For casual readers and show watchers Rhaegar is a fascinating mysterious character who was a perfect prince and died for love, just as romantic heroes die for love in many medieval stories. One of the very first chapters of ASOIAF has Robert screaming and insisting that Rhaegar kidnapped Lyanna ... but then as the story progresses, everyone else speaks of Rhaegar fondly and only positively. Robert story just doesn’t add up with every little detail we know about both Lyanna and Rhaegar ... and after reading the first 5 books almost every reader is convinced that they were in love. 

Remember the anon who asked me about him and said “I don’t get the worship he gets”? Rhaegar is popular in the fandom and even more popular in the novels.

What are they basing the “horrible father and husband” on? Also, “obsessed” is such an inappropriate and silly term to use ... “Obsessed” implies that Rhaegar was somehow irrational and unreasonable to worry about the War for the Dawn, but the Others ARE real, they ARE coming to destroy humanity, Valyrian prophecies ARE correct. Rhaegar was very dedicated to them for a good reason and he was right. Literally, the Others appear in the prologue, 14 years after his death. That means Rhaegar would have been 38 when they came. Preparing for the War for the Dawm was completely justified.

At one point you did mention that Babette is one of Teddy's 'evil exes'. How did they both break up? Why did they break up?

I am airing out Teddy's dirty laundry today it seems... 👁️👁️

So, Teddy is very oriented towards a certain plot-point goal, on top of finessing his magic feats and Ghostmastery Craft. He tries to make time for his dating life, but what ends up happening a lot is that his partners end up getting neglected, and him being somewhat of an egotistical flirt often makes them even angrier 😔

Babette Yaga is one of his more hot-headed exes geared towards total annihilation, yes, hahaha! She's a lover scorned! She comes bearing grudges! A recurring theme with a lot of his "Evil Exes"!

Left: Old Babette concept sketch! Right: A guy that sucks

Still tryna get this girl outta my head. Im thinking of her every single day. I know that i totally messed it up i broke her heard and destroyed her mind i fwel soo bad abd i miss her so much .

Didnt have enough selfconfidence. And I hate my self. It was the biggest mistake in my whole dawm life. I love this girl

Hey...take a deep breath and hold on...you need to give yourself a break...I understand you feel guilty and bad about yourself, but your mind can be tricky, you know? Positivity, good thoughts, a bit of hope, it can make it easier...have you tried to talk to someone about it? Maybe a friend, a sibling, a professional...you need help, so please, look for someone, look for good energies...I know you have the guts to go through this, you just need to get your strength back
