I love your unhealthy clingy famous MC you don't understand how feral I'm over him

THANK YOU I LOVE HIM SO DEARLY TOO!!!!! the backstory with absent parents and just. everything about seven... i think makes a lot of infamous ocs potentially lean into this?? or at least there are a ton of choices that just made me go "oh yeah. that's him" . idk there is an element to how infamous is written that really helps with characterising him, including how customisable it is, and i do love that about this IF!!!!! crying about him below the cut <3

aki kind of navigates the world worried his loved ones will leave him and is a little too clingy because of it. he also has been playing those worries off by being charming, flirty and funny. like he can somehow project this hyper-extrovered version of himself and try to make people love that !!! he drops that more around his bandmates/friends, but not in front of people he's just met (please guess who accidentally escalated the bed fight on the tour bus)

aki also hooks up with people a lot, just cause he likes sex but also because he enjoys the no-strings-attached. because of those attachment issues, when he gets something that feels black and white to him, something one-and-done and he leaves in the morning, he can just. take feelings out the equation. he knows its not meant to last so he can just walk out (leave! hit da bricks!!! walk out!!!!!)

committing to a romantic relationship . you can imagine. is a little complicated due to all this LMFAO he just overthinks and worries before even getting into it, regardless of if it's reciprocated or not. between the one time he's actually into someone (seven) and how that ended (...badly) + the fact that deliriously avoiding commiting to anything except hookups = very little (none at all) actual dating experience. aki has no idea to deal with it and will balk. yeah this is immature of him but i have plans to make this guy character develop so hard throughout the course of infamous that he may implode

i love the genre of character where they're just going "i know i have a few issues, who doesn't, but honestly i think i'm well adjusted!!" <- they are not well adjusted. in fact they're worse than they think

also no one asked for the orionmance essay i sent my friend but here it is <3

I know people love baking Steve but I think while he would be good at cooking he's not as good at baking. Cooking he can just say fuck it and throw whatever he has on hand in a pot sometimes for a stew or gets gifted fun spices by neighbors that he can experiment with. He can play around with things in the kitchen esp if he's lazy or tired or having a bad head day but baking? Too precise too much math this is a strange science that is too tetchy for him he will stick to store bought mixes thank you

I like using Occam's Razor when I theory-craft, because often the simplest answer is the best solution.

But man does it sometimes lead to the most BORING answer known to man.

@yeonban​​​​ said: ❛  when  was  the  last  time  you  slept ?  ❜  shal  &  chrollo!

there’s always a downside starters

   Shalnark won’t like the answer that Chrollo has to give. His forehead rests against the cool glass, chilled from the rainfall outside and the dawning of night that would chase away the pleasant warmth of the day. Although it would hardly have an effect on him given the weight of his coat. Grey eyes stare outwards, watching raindrops shatter the stillness of puddles and reflected neon lights further down the street. He has half a mind to go out, but that probably would not be something that would help when Shalnark was already intervening.

  (  Few would. He knew of their worried stares, and often times would escape before an intervention could be sprunt on him.  But this time Shalnark had moved before the spider could desert his current roost. )

   “  Forty-six hours ago.  “  Chrollo answers after he spares a glance towards the clock to ensure his accuracy. Shalnark wanted facts, not excuses. Besides, Chrollo wasn’t one for pointless fluff or excuses. It paired well. But if he was asked where those forty-six hours had gone....Eight had went to finishing the book he’d been reading on his travels.  One had gone to waiting in line for meals on the occasion someone had reminded him. But the rest? Some had been spent wandering, floating like a ghost through the city, and others had been spent stagnant, lost inside of the labyrinth of his own mind, seeking answers he would never find.

   In the gloom of outside, Chrollo’s eyes look more like grey tombstones, present yet distant. Something untouchable in them - an ancient god, a disappearing ghost. Slowly however he grounds himself as Shalnark speaks and watches.

   “  I know. I should rest.  “  He allows a thin smile, eyes closed to conceal what truth might rest in them.  “  Don’t fret about me.  “  It never particularly worked when he said that to any of the troupe members. Even Kalluto didn’t seem to buy it. On the contrary, many of his dear spiders seemed to worry MORE when he said that.  “  You have plans, right?  “  Shalnark hadn’t said anything and Chrollo had not pried - nor did he now.  It wasn’t his business after all, and he would never press for information where it wasn’t offered. But he knew how the legs moved.  “  Have fun.  Maybe I’ll be resting when you get back.  “  

   He wasn’t even sure if he believed himself when it came to that. It was, factually, a possibility (willingly or his body giving out), but if he’d CHOOSE that was another matter. This really wasn’t helping his attempts to ease his spiders’ concerns when it came to handling himself outside of missions. He sighs, and there’s something more defeated in that exhale than simple exhaustion.

   “  I promise I’ll make an effort to sleep.  “

The bookmark tag was #holder until i think of a tag for these asks but To Be Real even I forgot what it was...

BUT YEAH thanks so much for reading and I'm glad it's :] Intelligible At Least :] obviously I would be up for reading anything that came to mind after putting you and your followers through All That but understandable... A lot of people I've shown the checklist items or pointed out specific behaviors to have actually said similar [i.e. I'm In This Picture And I Don't Like It], so I totally get what you mean, too!

I think a lot of my picks wound up being generalized trauma responses/aftereffects of abuse or neglect [hence I meandered off into just talking about Jo's father half the time], so I guess it's to be expected a lot of them don't read as being CSA-specific or are broadly relatable; it's not like he's supposed to be read that way, after all. I just wasn't able to zero in on many of the more specific ones because I've Never Seen Jo In This Situation Chief I Don't Know What He Thinks About His Name Or His Body Or Mirrors Or Sex Or Affection I Don't Know How Well Or Poorly He Sleeps [Presumably Poorly Though He Has The Second-Reddest Eyes In The Whole Game]

I don't really think I'll have anything to add though unless Infinite Wealth goes off the rails or I actually continue reading the book... so that will have to do... I originally was just riffing on RGGJo's attachment issues, self-destructiveness, and specific entwinement of sexuality/aggression/romance, and his portrayal in my fic lined up pretty closely, so I thought it'd be interesting to apply the same lens to Y7Jo...

But Yeah x2 thank you for the opportunity to talk about it and I'm Glad It's Intelligible At Least x2

THANK YOU i really should change that tag to something better... <- i will immediately forget to do so like a jackass

BUT YA OF COURSE OF COURSE i was truthful when i said it was a real good read (but once again. i have -5 speech skills so i can't properly word SHIT) and was a thorough examination of jo's trauma and how it manifests in him and how it's exhibited through his actions. ALWAYS a big fan of that :)

there's plenty of very valid criticisms for saw (2004) but one that bothers me is when ppl are like "it's impossible to lay still like that for so long" like??? no its not??? tobin bell literally laid there the entire bathroom shoot its incredibly doable... plus even if adam or lawrence saw the body move what're they gonna do?? check it?? like why would they jump to that conclusion rather than assuming they're either seeing things or the body's going through rigor mortis sdkjhsjkfhsjkfhs idk i think its perfectly reasonable given the circumstances
