OOPS I meant to post this last night, had it drafted and everything lollllllll. but this was Yugi's date outfit last night, aka finally an excuse for me to redesign his DSOD look with a little more Edge

I was going to draw the Puzzle and his other shoe but lol apparently I forgot to save last night and lost everything I did last night and like, it wouldn't be hard to do again, but I want to get back to my commission so. pretend they're there!

base credit // I don't usually do that but I was in the middle of work and couldn't rest until I got this idea out and wanted to start as soon as possible lol it was supposed to just be a quick rough doodle to get the idea across but then all 4 fashion illustration classes I took in college kicked in lol. making it non rebloggable tho

what are some recurring things you've noticed across most/all of your writing? It can be something as simple as "found family" or other tropes, or something as deep as a whole analysis on the hidden symbolism, it's totally up to you!

mundane things I've noticed: most main characters have at least one sibling, everyone I write is at least a little queer, all* of my villains are potentially redeemable *(Eoland Thawne is an outlier and should not be counted), all of my main villains are initially introduced as an ally, and yeah I usually add a healthy dose of found family lol

for deeper stuff I tend to use fic as vent pieces a lot of the time so you'll see a lot of dealing with homophobia and transphobia and internalized ableism and struggle with identity

Abby has another great FNAF lore question for Michael,,

[ruindunburnit]

Would a fem matsuda be a bit like misa, and would an Male misa be a bit like matsuda?

Ooh, this is an interesting question! (You can tell, because the longer I dwell on them, the longer I take to answer them. Sorry!)

I think the issue with this question is that it presumes that Matsuda and Misa are anything alike, and I just do not think that's true.

See, I think Matsuda, in his essence, is so idealistic and eager to prove himself because for a large portion of his life, he has had a very easy time of it. Given how he's often called naive and stupid by his colleagues, he's not someone who went into policing with any awareness of the state of the society he is trying to police (at least, nothing more than a surface observance of someone who watches the news with no questions and has no idea what it's like for society to snap back at you when it all goes wrong). He has a job in the NPA because he has an uncle who does, and he has Soichiro Yagami as a mentor because his uncle put in a good word and asked the Chief Superintendent to give him a chance. Really, in terms of background, he has a lot more in common with Light Yagami. In fact, all that separates the two of them is just a handful of years and the fact that Matsuda needed the connections to succeed in the NPA, and Light wouldn't if he didn't have them.

A fem Matsuda (and for argument, let's say this is an AFAB, fem-identifying Matsuda) however, is a different story. Given the fact of how deeply sexist Japanese society is, she would have needed those connections to get hired at the NPA, but for her to even be considered, she would have had to already have the grades and aptitude. She would have had to ace any entrance exams, and perform far and above expectations of her male colleagues, and she would have still needed her uncle to speak on her behalf. After all that, she would still be subject to doubts about her performance and skills, as well as other microaggressions, telling her that she shouldn't be taking a man's space. That would harden anyone.

Would she still have that sweet lightness in how she interacts with others, the way Misa does? I want to say she would, if just to soften how she's received by others so she isn't accused of being a "bitch", but in the world of the NPA that would undermine the image she is trying to project even further.

See, Misa can act sweetly and have it work to her advantage, because in the world of modelling, performing femininity so highly is the expectation. Yes, it does mean people underestimate her skills and prowess, but in her world, that kind of subterfuge works because every other model does it too. They have an image to protect, a public face and a private face, and Misa is only doing the same thing, and doing it well.

Our fem Matsuda, though? She couldn't do that. Hers is a balancing act, between being masculine enough to prove she can handle the world of criminal investigation, and feminine enough to still conform in the professional workplace in Japanese society. Hyper-femininity undermines her, and any excessive masculinity locks her out of progressing in a professional capacity.

So, fem Mastuda could not be like Misa.

As for Misa herself, we're talking about a different set of circumstances. I wouldn't know if she came from a middle class background, or a more working class one, but we don't know that because her family was murdered. That kind of grief, even in someone who has healed from it, adds a degree of sharpness that cannot be discounted here. Everything she has, she worked out for herself -- a home, a career in Tokyo, everything, and all without attending university. She put everything into modelling and entertainment and won. That kind of scrappiness sets her apart from Matsuda right off the bat.

A masc Misa (an AMAB, masc-identifying Misa in this case) making his mark in an industry like modelling, where there's space for men by necessity but there will always be accusations against your masculinity (whether that's about your sexuality or just being masculine enough), that takes one hell of a thick skin. A thick skin that Matsuda took far longer to grow.

On that account alone, I don't think a masc Misa would be like Matsuda.

Again, this is just my opinion, but that's simply what I think. A fem Matsuda would not be like Misa, and a masc Misa would not be like Matsuda, and that's because of the delicate, complex double-binding effects of sexism and misogyny intersecting with class and the demands of their very different professional industries.

these are the questions about history that the people really need to ask

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.

i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.

anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.

I was recently asked to name 3 of the Great Lakes during a mental eval and now I'm curious about just how standard it actually is for people to know them, so

I am at my heart a hypocrite because I'll talk long and hard about the importance of platonic relationships in fiction and how they're just as important and powerful as romantic ones and then the instant two characters show undying loyalty for each other I'm like"👀👀👀👀 what if they kissed?"
