[writterings]

honestly my state's pride was ultimately underwhelming this year for me, but i gotta say it's...somewhat nice that it can be boring? like im so accepted and validated by people in my life that pride no longer feels like (for me) an escape or outlet. i attended this specific event with my mom in 2018 and it was my first pride event. i was still in high school. i remember it literally brought me out of a deep depressive episode for a bit, because of how fun and affirming and safe it was. it was a celebration of me and people like me!

but now i kinda get that everyday in my life. so pride really only offers me a chance to hang with some friends, day drink, smoke weed in public, and pick up freebies at every tent. it's basically like any other holiday to me now. but isn't that amazing? that im so accepted and loved and celebrated as a whole queer person, that i can take something like pride for granted?

i'm super thankful for that. i'm still super thankful for pride.

and, i gotta say, it was really touching to see so many middle school and high school aged kids there, sometimes with their parents and sometimes by themselves. i hope they one day can find pride as "boring" as i do. i hope every queer person can.

re: timing of mentor reaping

ooh both options are delicious. the tragedy of obi-wan operating per usual and volunteering only for anakin to be called soon after is appealing, but i feel like mentor reaping after the tributes could be really interesting.

like on obi-wan’s end, the horror of anakin being called could freeze him in his place, also make him think about the year he put his name in multiple times and wondering if he lied and did it again, thinking about having to mentor someone he wants to die so that anakin makes it out, etc. and then on anakin’s end, i feel like even if he is nonchalant-ish about being reaped, the moment that would create insecurity/break him momentarily would be obi-wan pausing to volunteer as mentor bc he would follow obi-wan anywhere and and kill to come back to him and why is obi-wan not doing the same? when rlly obi-wan is just too shocked/still processing to react in a timely manner

j my thoughts, thanks for listening!

(re: this hunger games au post)

so this absolutely mirrors my thoughts and why i'm torn!

if obi-wan's 'reaping' is first and he volunteers to be the mentor regardless of his name not being drawn because the one chosen is pregnant or just won five years ago and is too traumatized or something, and THEN anakin's name is drawn, it's devastating for obi-wan who now has to be his mentor and maybe watch him die while trying to do everything he can to prevent it. it's also devastating to anakin who will never know if obi-wan would have volunteered for him.

if obi-wan's reaping is after anakin's and he volunteers, a part of anakin can just be smug and satisfied -- and there can be a moment where he's watching the victor section from the stage, eyes locked on obi-wan's devastated face, and he gets to see him volunteer, gets to see him torn to shreds by the possibility of losing anakin and then maybe gets to see a hint of 'killer disassociation' flash over obi-wan's eyes as he stands to volunteer to be the mentor. anakin's obsessed with obi-wan's games and would absolutely adore obi-wan getting so angry and feral over him.

and then there's the option where the victor mentoring reaping is after the tribute drawing but obi-wan's name is pulled and he doesn't volunteer at all - either anakin's latent but powerful control of the Force makes the person drawing choose the slip of flimsi with obi-wan's name on it, or the odds are just in anakin's favor and the galaxy itself knows that where anakin goes, obi-wan should follow and vice versa, aka what anakin's been trying to tell everyone (even obi-wan) for years

THE YEAR OF NIKOLEKSI

inipit - what qualities do they seek in a partner? describe physical qualities and personality traits?

𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒 ( also asked by @rozyrne & @unsungblade )

Rafal wouldn't be able to pinpoint his own romantic preferences due to general inexperience and doesn't seek after specific qualities. With the low life expectancy of Sombron's children, having a partner also isn't a possibility or forecast that he ever anticipated for himself.

The harsh reality is that Fell Dragons of alternate Gradlon are thinned out on multiple fronts by fighting their father's wars or sibling infighting. Rafal didn't expect to survive to adulthood and the normative luxuries of life like partners and mates felt far out of reach. When the true Nil in the DLC remarks that siblings stronger than himself have died, the sense of anxiety and danger is then doubled down for the weakest children who had no remarkable abilities to speak of.

In totality, it means he has few standards when it comes to appearance or personality. It ultimately doesn't matter to him whether someone is ugly or attractive, has positive or negative personality traits, is a man or a woman, so on and so forth; however, due to his childhood loneliness there are things that he absolutely wants out of people.

That checklist is both very short and very demanding:

A heart that has room for only him

Eyes that will look at only him

Someone who will love only Rafal

This sounds easy on paper, but Rafal is a character of extremes who loves very intensely. He's made jealous in a romantic context by seemingly inconsequential details. If you so much as speak alone with someone he perceives as a rival, young or good-looking or even neither of those things - an individual just capable of drawing out your laughter or your smile - he sees a problem.

There's a deeply ingrained and unconscious desire for him to feel and receive love. To heal his formative deficit of it as a twinless Fell Child, to satisfy his natural intensity of being, his ideal life partner would be someone who adores him wholeheartedly, even single-mindedly. That is most attractive to him and that is most desired.

Roses & Musket Day 5 Spoilers (Hidden Dialogue)

I forgot how cursed his mind is when it comes to making different dishes. Also, I love how Ayato has a love for sweet cold beverages.

[accelerandy15]

In case anyone forgot again... Happy 4th Anniversary to Choco Kano! 💝

[heartbeetz]

One of Anton's main character traits literally just being "drunkard" is soooo funny for our ship tbh. Guy who drinks a lot + guy who likes the taste of alcohol but NOT the effects. Lmao.

wait, when Palamedes finds a romance novel in his post-explosion river bubble . . . was that Dulcie's influence????????

A Christmas letter from Jade

To the one I hold dearest to me,

Did I go too far with kissing you everywhere? It was your wish to receive that from me as a gift, was it not? That gift you gave me shall be handled with care each and every day. I’ll even hold it while I sleep. If I were to say that out loud, what kind of expression would you show me? Well, I guess you don’t know till you act out yourself.

Thank you for spending the holidays with me,

Jade Leech

I’m also doing matchups you can find that here: 2 Lines & A Circle : Flavor of Love, Find Your Match~ (tumblr.com)

[chromaji]

oh right i decided yesterday i’m not doing that christmas game made. so i guess i was right when i said i was NNNAWT GONNA DO THAT‼️‼️🫡 turns out i really was not!

maybe if i had more time in previous weeks i could’ve walked out with something? But really the main issues for me is the maximum 20 mins playtime, my love for dialogue, and preferring some sort of battle system. I don’t think i’d be able to manage all that & walk out with something i’d be happy with, especially in the character department (aka the most important to me).

i did consider using characters from previous games several times but in the end it was like… ehh nah

[chasing-storm-s]

My thoughts exactly 😂

IT'S BACK

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

PLEASE READ THIS ROUTE/S YOU WON'T REGRET IT

[autumnalfallingleaves]

so i remember you saying that we dont talk about the hilda tie-in books, but im curious if you know if the information inside is canon at all? (like the dates or currencies used) i cant find a straight answer to this online so im wondering if you might know

(lmao I just said that because, even though I haven't read them myself, I've seen stuff about how the portrayals of all the characters are shitty and Jo, Frida, and David are just sorta straight-up abusive towards Hilda)

(I know there's a couple posts floating about detailing all of that but I don't think I've rb'd them and I'm a little too tired to go looking rn sorry)

Disregarding the editing of show canon (events/characters), I think you could consider worldbuilding info canon? Secondary canon, at least, when stuff in the tie-in novels doesn't contradict show canon (primary canon). I.e, if the tie-in novels call the currency kroner (which I think they do? Not sure on that) and the show doesn't contradict that, you can consider it canon, same as with dates.

In my opinion, until show canon states otherwise, you can consider official secondary canon (the tie-in novels as official publications) canon. HOWEVER, this is fandom and you can do whatever you want, so if you want to splice together primary canon and secondary canon, go for it!
