Just in case you didn't already know; Dashingdon is shutting down so if you don't want to lose your work you need to transfer your demo somewhere else.

I've seen, thank you! (And thanks to the multiple messages saying similar things 🥰)

I'm not sure yet what I'll do exactly 🧐

I think putting it on itch with choice-script + save system, if I can manage, would be nice. But I'd have to look into it first!

ik a lot of ppl compare diona to diluc, but honestly, i think she and kaeya have a lot of similarities tbh - which, i know is vv typical coming from the guy who sees kaeya similarities in literally everything lmao, but hear me out on this:

kaeya seeing her angry, child self in diona - being angry at a father who abandoned you (whether it's physically or emotionally), but still being so desperate for his affection again. believing that if you could somehow prove your worth or save him (kaeya wanting to be a good spy, diona wanting to destroy the wine industry), that he will come back and love you again... that you can be his little girl once more and save you from the horrors you had to endure in order to make him proud / save him from himself.

they are both being thrown into dangerous situations (kaeya being left alone in a foreign country in the middle of a storm, diona literally working as a bartender, despite being like 12), and while both of them obviously see what's wrong with their situations (kaeya being a repeat runaway, diona regularly trying to make the most disgusting drinks imaginable to scare off customers), they still don't quite understand the weight of their situation - believing that their suffering must be for the greater good if it means that that one day, their fathers could be happy and that they could finally be a family,,,, they both scream "LOVE ME LOVE ME PLEASE LOVE ME !!!" even if they do their best to push other people away... they want to be loved. they just want to be loved. loved by the man who was supposed to protect them - not the other way around.

perhaps, in a way, kaeya sees her child self and her inner feelings in diona - young and angry at everyone, overwhelmed by these negative emotions that you don't know what to do with; and diona sees a dreaded future in kaeya - a heavy drinker who fakes a laugh and smile, suppressing those emotions deep within you, just so you could be tolerated and loved by everyone. idk, there's much to consider here, i think.

the psychological horror of being the boy that David the Demon possessed.

you don't know how long it's been. you don't know how long your mind hasn't been your own. all you know is that you were in London the last time you were conscious, and you wake up on the ground all the way in America. in a desolate, dark place with two people standing over you. one of them holds a butcher's cleaver.

you don't know that for God knows how long, a demon has been using you as its puppet to traumatise someone. using your mouth to manipulate, threaten and abuse.

are you told any of this? do you really want to be? of course, you should be made aware of the extent of what's happened to you. you have the right to know why you're so far from home, why you can't remember the past weeks, perhaps even months. but would it be better if you didn't? could you handle the truth? could you live with it afterwards?

you have been forced to act as the villain in someone's horror story. it's your face that a girl you don't recognise sees in her nightmares.

it's not even clear if the very name "David" belongs to the demon or yourself.

"rin."

he pauses in the middle of sounding out a word for your daughter, one long finger tapping against the crimson blotch on the page. she grabs at his finger; he lets her wrap her little hand around it and drag it towards her.

"yeah?" he asks, glancing at you from under his eyelashes, his eyes the color of the mid-morning sky.

you hesitate. you pick at your fraying sleeve, playing with a thread, wrapping it around your finger until it almost hurts.

"have you—have you heard from sae?"

his lips flatten out into a thin line. "no."

"not at all?"

rin shifts; he scoops up your daughter and settles her into his lap. she coos in delight, honey-bright, and he presses his lips to the crown of her head, into the cherry-dark shine of her hair.

"i said no," he says. there's frost in his voice, the first kiss of winter.

"oh."

he glances at you again. "what?"

"he's your brother," you say.

"so?"

you wince. "rin," you say. "don't say that."

he glowers. his jaw works for a moment, the muscles flickering beneath the surface of his skin.

you wait, but he doesn't say anything.

"rin," you say softly. "did i make it worse?"

he reaches out and grabs the book he'd been reading to your daughter. she claps on his lap and pulls it closer; one of the pages threatens to tear under her little fist.

"careful," he tells her, unwinding each tiny finger to loosen her grip. "you'll tear it."

"rin."

he turns the page.

"yeah," he says. "you did."

rawr

thanks for becoming a moot with me 👉👈 have some goobers <3

Awww!!! That's so cute!! Tbh while I do kinda ship them I think it's more one sided with Brown having a big crush on Shellington and either doesn't show it or Shellington is really oblivious to it 😭 but he still likes hanging out with shellie a LOT. and y'know maybe Shellington will feel the same way eventually if I stop being a coward 😅 but that being said I'm chill if art of them depicts both liking eachother (infact I would be and am totes down for that) that's just my current canon atm. I think art of them just being besties is also good too

(worth noting that if I end up selfshipping with shellie, Brown would be my stand in lol)

anyway now that I'm done explaining things AHDJOSHFAHJAJS I LOVE THISSS ITS SO ADORABLEEEEE they're both so shyyy hehehehehehehe cmon Shellington give quick facts about a sea creature that'd get Brown's attention he loves listening to your rambling 🥹 (specially with those big ears of his hehehehe) tytytyty this is amazing I love it

as much as i love gray angst, i actually believe that galuna was about challenging, and then reaffirming, gray's decision after ur's death to move on from the tragedy and begin a new life.

lyon serves as his double, in a way: his adoptive brother who, losing someone that he loved, lost years of his life responding to that grief and trying to resurrect a bygone era. gray's decision to join a guild and lead a life entirely divorced from isvan seems akin to betrayal, to forgetting his roots; but it's simply a different way of dealing with a horrible situation. (of course, gray does try to cast iced shell at two points, thereby derailing my argument and demonstrating that he was actually still just as tied to the past as lyon...that's a bit of a sticking point, though, that doesn't change the overarching message of the arc.)

i'm trying to write a fanfiction about gray returning to isvan and confronting his own life in fiore, however i realized that mashima already did it quite well. although gray is pretty unhappy at times, whose emotional state is a more active part of his character than other's, galuna was specifically about highlighting how he had chosen to handle his trauma in a different, healthier way after losing ur, since being chained to his grief the first time resulted in someone's death. it's essentially a revenge arc in disguise.

thinking about how corporations are nations unto themselves, and thus would have their own fleet of spaceships, and if they'd have ship prefixes like how we do... HMS, USS...

and thought. what if. way back when. an arquebus ceo was like "we will use the prefix 'Arquebus Service Ship'". they could not be dissuaded even when people pointed out this would make the prefix ASS.

to date, people (balam) call arquebus's space fleet the "ass fleet", even after a later CEO changed it to smth like "arquebus corporate vessel" (ACV)
