#i love him greatly

[misty-moth]

One year anniversary of loving Arthur!!! 🥳🥳🥳

Routes finished in the year: 17

I shall write the tale of how it all started below~ warning: rambling, simping, cheesiness

So I started off in ikepri on April 25th, 2023 after seeing Yves on fb. After ~5 days I decided I loved it (pretty bois and no ads 🙌) so I checked what other games they had.

Fun fact: I adore vampires. My Twilight phase did a number on my psyche.

So ikevamp became an obvious choice, and as it was downloading I thought about what type of character I’d like the most. My conclusion was “whichever vampire actually likes being a vampire and will bite me gdi.”

I think we know where this is going.

So I started the prologue thinking “is this guy one of the options? I mean, he must be, he has a sprite” (sorry Comte). Up next I saw Napo with “ooo I like his hair :3c”, nodded, and kept my options open.

Then Arthur showed up, and I had that moment of THAT ONE. That’s right, it was love at first sight 🫰😌 more characters popped up and as it kept going, I highkey became concerned with myself 😅 “…in this house of incredibly important and interesting historical figures, am I really going for the author of Sherlock? I’ve never considered his existence before. I don’t even like Sherlock” 😭

And yet, I loved him greatly from the moment I saw him. He was my first route, and I had a goofy smile the whole time. If I had time to wonder is this just because he’s my first route? it didn’t last long.

Part of me wants to eventually write up a huge post on why I love him so much… it gets kinda sentimental and irl-filled so I won’t go into it here 😅

But the other part likes just the daily simping, art appreciation, fic reading, and keyboard mashing about him with everyone 🥹 so for now, on this post, I shall just say that he’s been a very lovely presence in my very chaotic noggin 💙

a bit of stanley, if you will?

aka I FINALLY finish Stanley's reference sheet!!! so after WAY too long, here's my boy<33

as always, click on the image for better quality bc tumblr likes to tear my resolution to shreds

(ramblings/details and closeups below the cut!)

a couple little things I didn't stick on here!

-he has a gap in his front teeth and one of them is chipped!

-his eyes stop being that same yellow as Narrators once Narry stops monitoring him (I believe i elaborated on that part a while ago, I'll see if I can find it)

-he just loves hideous socks. I'm talking neon purple with lime green stripes. bright red with emojis. ones that look like bananas. just as awful and gaudy as it gets. him and Narrator made it into a sort of inside joke where every time he reloads Stanley's model into the game, he gives him a new pair of Terrible Socks, usually worse than the last pair.

-I couldn't figure out how to put this into the drawing, but he is. so so so very Autism and ADHD (he's just.like me fr)

-the clicking sound we hear when you press a button on ur keyboard (or the 'a' button on console) is Stanley! if he were to try to talk, that sound would come out instead of words

-hes mostly nonverbal, he chooses to communicate typically through ASL or BSL, or just letting Narrator see his thoughts (which he usually prefers bc its a little easier to convey what he wants). He does make a LOT of sounds though (he makes the clicking sound mentioned above almost constantly). like. he can "mhm" "nuh uh" "uh" "hmm" "huh?" "ohh". yknow. all the sounds!

uhhhh yeah! I can't think of anything else in particular atm, but here's some closeups!

I’ve had this joke in my head since I evolved my wooper into him

I'm usually pretty memey when it comes to lovin my f/os (to hide my epic mega secret lovey-dovey thoughts) but there's something about Howdy that activates my cuteness agression

I'd like to say that I love your art but never really saw the older stuff where Machete is just getting the shit kicked out of him by a homophobic universe so I only know your cute gay dogs as operatically dramatic dudes getting into Situations that only homosexuality can save them from.

SOULMATES SHIT

something so cunty and delicious about both kayleigh and kevin having their lives depend on the whims of obsessive men. how close they both were to tetsuji/riko and how, ultimately, their lives were thrown away once they no longer served the family’s purpose (and how both their absences were greatly noticed and mourned by the men who hurt them). both lifetimes of wanting to play exy and travel the world, and not a single drop of control for their fate shared between mother and son. tragedy of all tragedies

Hot Gryffindor Casanova Remus Lupin makes me viscerally upset, that man was NOT a Casanova, he was a weird looking, not conventionally attractive loser with chronic back issues.
