#ellie rambles about stuff

[oscalesoffeeling]

i think shipping with an old character (especially if they’re considered ‘too old’ or ‘ugly’ by conventional beauty standards) is sooo cool and sexy. i love old people and they deserve so much love and appreciation <33

i don't think we talk enough about how scary being regressed can feel sometimes, especially for regressors with trauma (esp esp childhood trauma,) mental illness, and/or neurodivergence, etc. being regressed can intensify already difficult to deal with feelings!! it's so so normal to get overwhelmed and frightened while regressed.

When did you initially come up with your oc's? Like... long has the concept of hexes on the shelves existed in your head? :0

Also, this may be a hard question but do you maybe have any voice headcanons for them? :o

Ok this is actually a hard question to answer, since the actual idea of a duo of character that can see ghost and it's ghost partner started way way back when I was a kid due to a pair of Spanish educational point & click adventure games called "Central de Fantasmas" (ghost central)

While the games are surprisingly high quality for the standars of educational games (the guy voice actor also does Fry in futurama as well as a lot other characters in other shows), all things considered they didn't do much with the ghost idea, so it led to my kid shelf imagining this stories about a duo of characters one human and one ghost, I'll be honest I don't remember anything about them.

A few years back, on 2022 I got really nostalgic for this games and decided to play them (took a while to make them run since these where designed for Windows XP tops) and the memories of me playing came back and through the next days of playing I started again tinkering with the idea of a human/ghost duo, it all clicked when YouTube recomended me the song "All my friends are ghost" by Dib Dooley (the original non music video is older but it's no longer on her channel)

That's the point where my mind gave form to Ely, this parody of a mystery children book protagonist, unlike those who pieced things together out of clues that then would lead them to traping the villan thanks to their quick thinking and resourcefulness, Ely was clumsy, almost always was in the wrong track with her assumptions, and only managed to catch the bad guy at the end and survive fighting against literal crime bosses because of her friend Dan, a grumpy ghost who despite what he says really cares about Ely and makes sure to protect her, all lead to this.

The first ever art of Ely & Dan.

Ely's dressing was roughly inspired by another parody of Kids mystery books, Jenny LeClue, while Dan's was inspired by Gibson from the Webtoon "Greetings from Grisley".

Despite the fact that Jenny doesn't have a hat while Gibson does, the hat actually was originally drawn as part of Elly's design to complement the detective look, then it was given to Dan as it's design looked to simple.

The idea kept going in my head and some questions started to form "Why can Elly see ghosts?" "Why does Dan want to become a writer so bad?" "How does Dan manage to pay the bills with him being a ghost and his book store not making any money?".

That's the point where I decided to actually make a story out of this and started to learn how to use adventure game studio, when I more or less had an understanding of how everything worked and had programed a way to switch between normal Ely & Dan Elly, I realized that I didn't have any sprites or artist abilities, after some days and a bunch of re doing I had the sprite versions that I posted over here.

I decided to park the project for now and develop some art skills moment in which I started to draw other ideas I had (check the art section in my pinned post for more on that).

The Ideas for Ely & Dan keep going in my head evolving until their current version and at that point I just couldn't take it I needed to share them, so I took your advice and decided that even if they weren't going to look the best they could at least they were going to look, and so Elly & Dan were posted.

So yeah, to answer it simply, the concept as we know it today, middle of 2023 more or less, the original concept more or less middle to late 2022, the Original idea 2010 or so...

Also about the second question, I don't, I've tried to come up with voices for them both in English & in Spanish but they always change.

every popular male comic author who i hate will have leagues of fans who are like omg u just read his REALLY bad stuff the rest is better. it totally doesnt have the same problems as his bad stuff did. and then it in fact does

[foofygoldfish]

also when i say i'm back on my bullshit

[hollow-reign]

My ace ass, a fool who never learns: oh boy, I can't wait to start this book my cousin and his wife got me for Christmas! A lot of people are talking about it and it sounds really interesting! Surely this book aimed at older teens/new adults will not contain anything that could make me, a sex-averse ace, uncomfortable--

The first chapter of the book: already briefly mentions characters talking about sex and introduces an obvious enemies to lovers setup/ dynamic with a super hot guy that the protagonist needs to stay away from but because they've already described the guy's appearance in great detail and the protagonist is immediately attracted to him, you know damn well those two will sleep together later on and that the mounting sexual tension is going to be an annoyingly prominent part of this story

Me: man,,,,I hate it here

[hollow-prey]

Me trying to calm myself down/rationalize with dumb anxiety brain about my f/os dying/getting hurt/having canon partners in their respective source materials whenever I revisit their media: listen. listen. it's all gonna be okay. your boys are okay. no matter what happens to them in their source canon, they will always still come home to you. You can always bring them back home when you miss them. You control and create your own story with them. Take a breath, and remember that they're with you right now.

Funn oddity, both Ellie and Travaldo have the last name Jones. Idk if they're siblings or if it's just a coincidence, but a fun thing nonetheless

The second game got spoiled for me too 😔

I became a fan when episode 1 aired in January, I liked one tiktok about it and then for some reason the algorithm put a clip of Joel’s death on my page the next day 😭 no spoiler warning or nothing. I ended up falling down the rabbit hole and watching all the game play so I could find out why it happened

Somehow my friend was able to go the entire season without any spoilers??? And she has no clue about what’s to come next season?? She’s got a big storm coming lmao

I'm sorry, anon :(

dude? that freaking sucks :( I didn't even like anything related to tlou on tiktok until after I watched it, I think? but I got spoilers for the show literally the day after it started airing, so the show also got spoiled for me.

I thought Sarah was gonna die later on, so let me tell you, her death hit even harder cause I thought she'd actually be in the show more :( I also knew about David beforehand? so everytime there was snow, I was terrified for Ellie. for the 6th episode, I was not calm or relaxed or anything, because there was snow everywhere, so when her and Joel split? I was STRESSING. I also knew Joel got injured? didn't know how, so I assumed he got bit? and then I saw scenes from the second game and figured he'd die because of it? like, obviously, he would, but I wasn't sure if it was a bite. so I assumed he'd die from whatever injury it was

but yeah, tiktok kept showing me stuff from the second game once I started saying I wasn't interested in the show stuff?? and there were no warnings or anything, so I knew of the golfing before I even watched anything. but everyone was calling it the golfing or saying the two went golfing, so I genuinely thought Joel and Ellie went golfing? I was very confused lmao also didn't realize it happened SO quickly??? I thought I'd have more time 😭 I also accidentally found out about Abby being the surgeon's daughter? that one's kinda my own fault, so I'm not mad about it, but it would've been nice to keep that a surprise. I also knew Ellie had a baby? did not know it was Dina's and just thought Ellie somehow got pregnant? saw a bunch of the birthday flashback scenes, but that one was happy, so I didn't mind that much. after a certain point, I decided I just needed to watch it before the whole thing got spoiled for me

your friend is so lucky??? she has a HUGE storm coming, oh my lord 😭😭😭 one of my friends also doesn't know what's coming and I am SO envious of her. like, she even offered to watch it so I could ramble to her about it? we love her so very much for that, but I told her to go into this blind. she did tell me that I'll be the first person she talks to when the season comes out, though! because this is my special little show (she told me this like twice, but it has just stuck with me hehe)

Hoshino Gen - Comedy

Stupidly grinning but also bawling at this song’s lyrics. 

I know this was the ED song for SpyxFamily, but... again, how I cannot resist to Hoshino Gen’s music (I am fan!)? And the video is too cute, too?

But the song??? OOOF. The translated lyrics into Spanish (through subs) make me think in stuff... scenes and what not while obviously thinking in my charas, (ofc)... it’s inspiring??? their dynamic and such as an “endgame” of sorts. It’s just... adorable (I see why it was also used for SxF, hahah)

I’m a hopeless romantic, and this song feeds me a LOT of those feelings.

This is the fourth time damian brought the college student over.

Damian, despite being 14, has been accepted to a gifted school as he had already been taught in the most subjects one usually learns at a slower pace.

(He still gets a headache over the fact his son won't get a normal childhood.)

Which is how he befriended the 17 year old Daniel, an overworked and sleepdeprived college student, getting dragged along and following with no complaint.

Bruce is, even if he wanted damian to befriend someone more around his own age, very welcoming of the student.

Alfred made sure the boy took enough food with him home, always leaving the mansion at point 4 pm.

It really shouldn't have been surprising when Bruce Wayne, yes, THE Brucie Wayne, summoned him to his office.

Danny entered the room fidgeting, giving a nervous smile to the man behind the desk and questioning what he did wrong to offend the patriarch of the family.

(Lies and slander, we, the readers, are fully aware that Alfred is the patriarch.)

"Uh— hi, Mr. Wayne." He sat when gestured to the chair, shitting bricks with how nervous he's.

The man nods in greeting, smiling. "Hello Danny–"

"Please don't kill me!" The teen in question blurts out, flushing in embarrassment once registered.

Taken aback and startled, Bruce snorts, stifling laughter by putting a hand against his mouth.

Shit.

"I don't know what I did! Very sorry if I offended someone!" He rambles, panicking and waving his hands around.

"Danny—"

"I must have done something! Why else would you call me? Oh god– I'm gonna be murdered by THE Brucie Wayne!"

At this point, the rich guy in front of him is barely restraining himself from laughing, trying his best to stay professional.

"Danny–! I- I won't murder you." He reassured, eyes crinkling from smiling.

"But–" he sniffs, both embarrassed and teary.

"I'm not gonna— danny." Bruce sighs, which sounds a lot like a choke, really. "Look, I just wanted a 1-on-1 talk with you about your friendship with damian and some concerns."

"Oh."

"Yes, oh."

Danny sighs in relief at this. "I can do some good old interrogation–" "it's not an interrogation–" "totally interrogation."

He huffs lightly, getting comfortable in his chair and preparing himself mentally.

"Alright Mr. Wayne! Shoot me!"

(Was that a pun? A joke to murder? Really?)

The man clears his throat, straightens his back and looks serious as he was before the accusations of murder.

"What are your intentions with damian and why become friends in the first place?"

Blinking, the teen brightens. "Oh, that's easy! Damian needs a friend. We just kinda clicked after I scared away a few pesky bullies."

Then he shrugs. "Besides, it's great training."

"Training?" Bruce asks, curious, tone light in the way that shows he's very interested.

"Yes. Despite his badly hidden murderous tendencies, love for knives, and slight lack of slang language and knowledge, he's still a kid." He nods.

"A young teen that goes through teen stuff that I barely remember going through and now get to relearn will be handy once Ellie becomes a teenager herself."

Batman was filing the information away, but Bruce kept going.

"Ellie?" He questions.

"My daughter– has damian not mentioned her? We always leave around 4 to get her from my sister. Sometimes, dami stays over for a few hours!"

Ah. Well. Seems like Alfred will have to make more food for the teen now.

"Would you like to stay for dinner today?" He asks, "Bring your daughter too. We won't mind you joining us." smiling and already planning for the new adjustments to make.

"On another note, what are your and your daughters preferences? Any allergies?"

Danny didn't even agree yet, not that he was gonna— mind you.

"No allergies, soft foods only, easy to eat." He answers, listing the stuff from the top of his head.

In a whirlwind of– of planning dinner?? Danny is out of the door and wide eyed.

"What just happened?"

(On the other side, Bruce face-palms, having forgotten to ask what age Ellie is. Damn in Bruce.)

—

On the fifth visit, Danny stayed for dinner.

Damian must know the age, for there are bowls with freshly cut fruits, yoghurt, and rice mixed with veggies and chicken.

On that note, where is damian?

Dick meets his eyes, asking the same quetsion with a look.

Just as Bruce was gonna ask, the door opened, and the cutest picture to ever exist was created.

(Dick RIPPED his phone out of his pocket, swiping a picture of the scene as fast as possible.)

Steph can't hold back the coos at the sight of Damian walking with a toddler into the dining room, her tiny feet propped up on his and in hand together.

She's wearing a Robin onesie and he is wearing his (stolen) Nightwing hoodie.

"Sorry, hope we aren't late!" Danny waves with a grin from behind the pair.

"You aren't, just perfect, in fact." Bruce reassures, waving the teens over to the free seats.

Damian leads the two to his seat, making sure they're next to him.

The conversation during dinner is one spoken fondly, Cass likes to make Ellie laugh with silly faces, Duke and Steph "secretly" feed her tiny pieces of strawberry and Dick is in a rather passionate discussion with both Tim and Danny.

Damian, once he makes sure no one is watching him, wipes the mess from Ellies face.

(Bruce was watching, looking away once damians face snapped to him. He wasn't aware his youngest had such a soft spot for toddlers.)

(It takes a while, but Danny and Ellie become family like every other person, while having not slept over yet, Alfred already has prepared a room for the two in the Family wing.)

(It's barely a week after that everyone bought and gifted him onesie's of their hero personas, with the excuse of them being the gotham vigilantes when questioned. After all, the Robin can't be a one man team.)

The Nightwing and his Robin.
