Also yes they’re at a Denny’s… they give off “has-formal-meetings-at-Denny’s” vibe.

I want to write! I want to draw! I want to play in the snow and clean my room and pet my cats and eat lasagna!

It's a beautiful day and I am capable of putting down my phone. The internet will still be here when I get back.

I found a shirt I made. Idk how old this is. maybe 10 years old. It's got some of my favorite Destiel fanfic titles at the time on it. Some of them are gone from the internet. Some of them have gone on to be published (I think), and all were amazing. Sigh. The good old days.

so like.... things happened 🦊

oh right .................................................. thanks to @soulsbetrayed, firefly will sometimes be known as meteora ! it's an aspect of their identity that they own for once, as even the name " firefly " is just referencing the type of unit she is. most muses will not know this unless she tells them directly. please keep this in mind for interactions going forward !

ANYWAY now that ive gotten my firefly rant off my chest and on a more positive note about the story overall; i Really liked it!!!! and character-wise specifically the biggest surprise for me in a huge W way was actually acheron??

& given i was actually somewhat committed to pulling her anyway (well. initially as kafka replacement to pull my first lightning carry after losing 50-50 but. Well. she had mercy on me at the v last moment thank goodness 😭😭) so actually ending up liking her character this much just cemented that resolve for good too. cant wait for her!!! like i am still meh on her base design not bc its that bad by itself but simply bc seeles existence just cheapens it so much like. Why are they so similar. but its not bad lmao

anyway to her actual characterization. first of all. the VAs delivery omg yall beidous english voice is already one of my all time favorites in genshin and shes doing an amazing job as acheron like. she started talking and im just INSTANTLY warmed up to her just from that KDJSKDKJK i love love love her attitude and energy!!!!!

n personality wise too??? like ive seen others mention a similar sentiment but its just the way how. even after getting the warnings from now Two separate characters that shes up to no good. im just like. "nah id win" abt it SHSKDKSI like throughout the story she comes off as so damn likeable and grounded and realistically friendly (as in not like. too open n aligned w the player from the get-go to feel believable for the character as opposed to a plot contrivance) that i just. even if shes bad news im team acheron truly.

she has genuinely funny one liners too ??? like not necessarily jokes outright but the kinda comments she says are just . very realistic in that dry witty way that comes off as natural and entertaining shes so charming!!! i love her. the more contemplative stuff she says too

but also like. girl whats up w the ominous red text ily but are we cool 😭😭 and the whole shredding us into thin slices on first encounter in the dreamscape like. Ok uhhhhhhhh ik i said nah id win and team acheron forever but this is kinda. worrisome

BUT that just means im so fucking excited to see her go apeshit too lmao like. oh shes an emanator here to do murder and spread death? COOL i hope she has fun!!

(and ik i said firefly rant over but. what the actual hell is that post firefly merk dialogue option where the games like very heavy handedly implying ur supposed to be blaming ACHERON for "letting it happen" in some emotional frenzy???? bro what 💀💀 0/5 moment i would never. n even if she plausibly did im just. dude her being cold towards firefly is just a plus for me when the narrative has just railroaded the TB into being sooo charmed by her magical presence lmao i Liked that acheron was suspicious n cold)

overall Definitely wasnt expecting acheron to establish herself as such an instant favorite for sure but. shes here now and im v happy abt it im super looking forward to seeing those more dubious goals of her come to the forefront in the future like. im so curious about whats up w her and her memory and that red text and everything

there's something wild about watching firefly for the first time while also knowing it gets cut short and most things dont get the payoffs theyre clearly hoping for, but even still, realising that the tam's parents only show up in a single episode throws me the fuck for a loop

[the-firefly-jar-system]

kidcore transmasc here! 🙋‍♂️

I appreciate "just some dude"-type of masculine aesthetic and comIetely understand why there is a lot of transmascs who lean towards it, but I just can't relate to it. I need more representation of transmasculine people who transition to be a dark academia history professor, an effeminate dandy, a mad scientist with mysterious sadness in his eyes, a gay politician, a Fyodor Dostoyevsky impersonator, a

A muse smacked my consciousness with this story, fully formed; I just wrote it down.

i like that Everyone gets in on teasing simon a little, as they’re insisting he come on the job, including book LMAO.

but i do think something pretty significant is also happening. like. i’ve written before about before how simon feels like he Has to watch river at all times, and while some of that is specifically because mal explicitly tells him to keep her from doing anything “too crazy” in the pilot, that’s not all or even most of it. i think it is east to forget that simon spent /two years/ knowing river was in trouble and being hurt but not being able to get anywhere near her or do anything about it. once he WAS able to get her out, it’s really not surprising that he’s as protective of her as he is and that you get the sense he would Prefer she be in his line of sight at all times. it’s kinda understandable, given everything.

but! it’s also just not really sustainable or healthy. simon Can’t be around river at all times, and moreover, it’s probably not good for either of them. while i do think river generally gets a lot of comfort from simon’s presence, it’s also not hard to imagine at times she feels a little smothered (like possibly at the start of safe.) it’s also pretty clear that simon can get overwhelmed and weary from feeling like he has to watch her constantly and be on guard for for any perceived threats. (evident again throughout safe.)

this is not the point of the scene, and i don’t think it’s anyone’s primary purpose in corralling simon into going on the job, but it’s a very casual, subtle way for simon to see it demonstrated that he can leave river for a bit and it will be Fine because they’ve got a support network. mal reassures him that they’re not going that far when simon seems hesitant/worried and book promises to watch over river while he’s gone. he is not alone in river-protecting.

and they manage this while also still 100% making fun of simon and corralling him into a job he doesn’t really want to go on. lmao
