I think this should be Vic's story rather than Aaron's story at least primarily and that's one of the reason's it's not working if that makes any sense.
The loose cannon of the mansion, the Scarlet Devil, is possessed by a harmless boy from the Outside World, sating most of her destructive nature and vampiric urges.
However, even if she's a loose cannon, she is still Remilia's sister... along with friends of others. If word got out of what happened, the mansion would definitely not know any rest at all.
At the same time... if Eri does go back... Flan would go back to being a loose cannon again. It's unfortunate, but it had to be done.
Which just makes him wonder... just how many friends does he actually have in Gensokyo? Are they tolerating him despite their smiles? Or do they truly like having him around regardless?
How about when he asks them to relief his vampiric body from his libido? Do they not mind it at all? Or find it incredibly awkward?
...
That kind of anxiety is eating his brain, to the point where he wants to vomit. Which... is why he's usually staying out of sight.
Pac: I'm not going to say anything to you guys [Chat], I'm not going to say anything to you. I'm not saying absolutely anything, I'm not going to comment. Man, you broke me here, you broke me in 3 parts! I'm not going to- no no no no no, I won't fall for your game, I won't fall for your game.*
Pac's chat allows viewers to make music requests, which led to this very well-timed moment today where Careless Whisper started playing as soon as Pac met back up with Fit.

Honestly, it depends on my mood. I tend to feel better when I listen to songs that reflect my current mood - sad songs make me feel better when I'm depressed, happy or upbeat songs give me a good feel when I'm happy, and, well, heavy metal helps me relax when I'm agitated or angry.
However there is one song I have never been sad while listening to - Good Time by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen. It always gives me a great feeling inside although... if I'm being honest, I have never actually listened to it while depressed so I don't know how much better it might make me feel. I have specifically avoided doing that because when I'm depressed I prefer to let my emotions out (provided I'm alone and in a safe space) rather than try to force myself to change moods when there's no one around to make me feel bad for having feelings. Mainly because I think suppressing my emotions for all those years is a big part of why my head is so fucked up today! But, I'm not here to talk about that. XD
Also Raining Blood by Slayer.
Y'know what fuck everything I just said Goodbye Forever by Volbeat is The Song™️. It makes me feel good when I'm sad and better when I'm happy, and it's got that vibe that relaxes me when I'm agitated too. So yeah. That one.
3. What's your favorite candle scent?
I'm not really familiar with a lot of candle scents - I don't own any as I don't exactly have the money to buy them or the space to keep them - but I have gone candle-sniffing with a friend a few times and we'd usually smell all of them so I don't really remember any specifically except the one I used to have, which was honeysuckle. I bought it at the time because I find the scent comforting - it reminds me of home. Wherever that may be.
22. What would you say to your future self?
Bro, you don't have to remember where you came from. You can let it all go and never look back. Just don't forget where you're going, and don't forget the lessons you learned along the way.
23. Favorite piece of clothing?
Hmm, you know what? I'm going to say my favorite piece of clothing is probably my Death Note hoodie. It's the best of everything - it's soft and warm and feels like wearing a hug, it's big enough to hide the things I don't like about my body, it makes me feel very secure, and IT'S A GRAPHIC HOODIE FOR PETE'S SAKE NOT TO MENTION FROM A MEDIA FRANCHISE I REALLY LIKE. What's not to love??? And, well, to be honest it gets me a lot of compliments, not that I'm overly concerned with what others think of me. But it does make me really happy when people start talking to me about Death Note just because of the hoodie.
"IS DEATH NOTE YOUR FAVORITE ANIME" yup.
"HAVE YOU SEEN THE MOVIE" don't get me started.
"WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER" Ryuk of course.
And this week it was "IF YOU LIKE DEATH NOTE YOU SHOULD WATCH CHAINSAW MAN" awesome, thanks. I've been hearing about it recently and wasn't really sure if it would be my thing (ADHD decides, I don't) but now I will definitely watch it.
Anyway I'll wrap this up now, it got long (and dark lol I'm sorry) and I probably should have deleted most of it because reasons but then again the ask game is about getting to know a person. XD
Rewatched the Beast movie, got emotional about it, and like... what if... Chuuya self-love self-care??? 🥺🥺🥺 He needs it, he deserves it, he should get it.
I know Jack and Maddie's relationship in canon is probably MEANT to be seen--depending on the episode--as a pretty bog-standard, 2000s-era "idiot big dad and exasperated, smart wife who puts up with him" trope.
BUT
my personal favorite interpretation is that BOTH are equally genius engineers who are also equally on the autistic spectrum, with a specific hyperfixation on ghosts and mad science.
The main difference is that Maddie has siblings and female social expectations, so she had to learn how to mask in ways that are seen as sociable and polite and attractive and "smart." When she does bumble major social cues (such as not recognizing Vlad's flirting until Danny points it out decades later, or humiliating her kids by showing up in a hazmat suit at school), it feels more "socially acceptable" from her.
She genuinely loves Jack because he could not care less about her being Feminine or Socially Acceptable. He just wants to shout with her about ghosts! So the nanosecond she's around him she can yank the mask off and go chasing spirits with a toaster turned into a machine gun.
i'll stop boosting this series of drawings after this, but i did want to take a moment to appreciate what obsessively drawing the same character for 3.5 years does to a person. thank u for everything miss ruby.

Every time I see that machine in the True Lab, I wonder if it could possibly be Chara's soul in there? Probably unlikely, but not impossible... It's interesting to think about what the implications of that would be.
A version with no text and then a version with just the machine, because I think it looks pretty cool and ominous alone as well.....
