hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!
(page 424-430)
8/2/2009 WHEEL SPIN: being silly :3c VERDICT: incorrect :(
Tumblr media
The lore dump concludes!! Personally, I could listen to Nannasprite exposit all day, but it's probably for the best that John doesn't keep Rose waiting too much longer. I really love that her face is now angry in the notification bubble. Does this mean she's officially gone Rancorous?
New information about the light vs dark war really changes the dynamic - the forces of light are destined to lose, so it's not an equal fight. More importantly, Nannasprite - who is in part guided by the game - encourages John to head for the light, and Sburb provides gates that go up, but not down. Fighting on the side of the forces of light is seemingly the intended gameplay path for the player, and it seems like John will follow this path - although not because he's deeply invested in being a good person, he's just focused on saving his dad. I think John is focusing himself on the smaller scale goal to distract himself from the idea that Earth is beyond saving, and because whatever else Sburb has in store for him is way too huge to fathom right now.
But what about Rose? What about Dave? They're much edgier people, and if Dave does find his brother's discs and become Rose's server player, I can totally see them going evil mode together, forgoing building upwards and instead trying to explore the mysterious fog below.
We learn that when four kernels land in four spires in both the castles of light and darkness, then things really begin - I guess this means the first four players to reach this point in the game? Which suggests John is the first person in the whole world to reach this point and to beat the meteor level? I'm actually so proud of him, he and rose are really true gamers 🥹 Four spires feels like a narrative choice made so that John's four-person friend group can be the first four players, except GG doesn't have a copy of Sburb, so it would be funny if the game was John, Rose, Dave and some random guy Todd from Missouri.
It seems like the imps, as the lowest level and most common enemy, represent the pawns on the chessboard. So what's next? Will we meet a different boss type for all the pieces? Will we get harlequin horses for the knights to ride on? Will we also meet the white pieces, the counterparts to the black who John might fight alongside?
Nannasprite says that John's journey is t̸̲̿̄h̴̡͓̐̂ͅe̸͔̦̓ͅ ̸̖͖̎u̸̜͒l̴͓̮͚͋̈́̍̊t̸̜̟̎͜ḯ̷̝̟͂̏ḿ̴̻͍̒a̶̟̎t̵̲͊́͊̚e̴̱͙̠̟̊̚ ̴̢̥̪̪͊ŕ̷̨̗͕̜̑̂i̸̩̗̳̼̋̔͊d̶͙̲͓̯͘d̸̤̦̿͆̿̕l̷̗̯̆͐ḙ̷̢̘́ so to help John out I've looked up the top rated riddle on riddles.com, which is probably the ultimate one? But only look up the answer if you want big homestuck spoilers, because this answer reveals everything.
When Nanna floats through the wall, she leaves ectoplasm dripping down John's Con Air poster which is 1. exactly like a real ghost and 2. kind of rude, John loves that poster. But for sure this is going to tie into John's paranormal lore and ectoBiology. In fact there's a bucket right there for him to collect the slime and do experiments on.
Nanna is EXACTLY like dad. She bakes cookies instead of cakes, and maybe is into a different flavor of clown (perhaps she loves mimes?) but they share so much in common. It really positions John as the odd one out in the family for Not liking clowns and baked goods.

Leaving this idea here because I thought it was cute.
Steven is canonically a gamer, so what about a little date with his partner? But what he wasn't expecting was to enter Y/N's home for the first time and find a HUGE collection of videogames. Old ones, new ones, classic ones, indie ones, everything. All of them on huge bookshelves, which are completely filled with just games. And every possible console, of course! And a huge TV so they can play the games on full HD!
Baby boy realizing that his partner is also a gamer!
Oh, and have some cookies! 🍪
- Fairy Anon 🧚🏻‍♀️
Wait where was that ever mentioned??? I don’t remember that. But I guess it’s a good thing he is because I have something else I’m working on :3c also I hope this alright and sorry if the ending seems rushed ;;
While you and Steven had been dating for quite awhile now, going on about a year, you had never invited him over to your house. Sure, he’s picked you up from your house and such, but he’s never been inside. You just never saw the need to, since you two usually were out and about. However, you decided that you wanted a more… casual date, so you decided to let him come over to your house and play games with him.
You were brought from your thoughts as you heard a knock on the door. You already knew who it was, but you went up to the door and opened it, looking up at your tall boyfriend.
“Hey, Steven.” You smiled softly and moved out the way, allowing him into the house. Steven walked inside and you closed the door behind him.
“Come on, I’ll show you the game room.” You took his hand into your own and walked with him towards another room in the house. You watched as Steven’s eyes lit up while he looked around the room. In the room was several bookshelves filled with all kinds of video games: new ones, old and classic games, indie games, along with many different genres of games include fighting games, adventure games, RPGs, and much more. And in the room was every console possible, as well as a huge tv to play games on.
“Well? What do you think?” You asked him. He was silent for a moment, as if still in awe of your game room, before he turned to face you, placing his hands on your shoulders before he said:
“If I didn’t love you before, I definitely do now.” Which made you laugh a bit in response.
“I thought I told you I play video games?”
“Well, yes, but i was not expecting all of this.”
“Well, you’re more than welcome to come by any time and play games with me, Steven.” You reached up and kissed his cheek. “Now come on, let’s find something to play.” You walked over to one of the shelves and started looking through your collection, Steven walked up to you, now standing by you as he looked for a game to play with you as well. After a few minutes of looking, you had grabbed out (2 player game of choice) from one of the shelves, and hooked up the console before inserting the game into the console.
“You ready to play?” You asked as you and Steven sat down on the couch, you handing him the spare controller. Steven nodded as he sat beside you, taking the controller from you.
“Of course.” You started up the game, and the two of you ended up playing together for a few hours. As you two played, you made little jokes and comments here and there, occasionally having to pause the game because you two were laughing so much you couldn’t breathe.
Other than that, you two continued to play games until you got hungry, and stopped to make some dinner.
“Hey, Y/n?” Steven spoke up as you two sat down at the table.
“Yeah? What’s up?”
“How did you get into gaming, anyway? I’m just curious.”
“Oh! It was because of my grandmother/family member. She/he/they got me into playing games, and ever since I’ve just enjoyed them.”
“I see.” He smiled faintly at your response, and the two of you sat in silence for a few moments as you ate your dinner.
“How long did it take you to collect all of those games and such?”
“That took me several years, especially the older consoles and games as they’re more difficult to find than modern ones.”
“Fair enough.” Steven chuckled a bit in response. He was happy that you were also a gamer, and he was definitely going to be coming over more often for gaming dates.
“You ready to get back to the game?” You asked him, snapping him back to reality. Steven nodded and stood up, grabbing his plate and walked over to the sink, helping you clean up.
“You didn’t have to do that, love.” You told him as you put the dishes up to finish drying
“Y/n, I’m not going to have you do everything, I’m not heartless.”
“Thank you, I do appreciate the help. Now come on, let’s go back to the game.” You grabbed his hand and walked with him back to the game room, sitting on the couch with him beside you.
“Ready to get your ass kicked again?” You chuckled a bit, him playfully rolling his eyes in response. You two had been playing (super smash bros/other fighting game of choice) before you stopped to eat dinner, and the last round, you had completely defeated him.
“That last round was a fluke and you know it.”
“Sure, sure, let’s just play.” You two chose your characters and stage before you were back at it again, laughing and smack talking, in a playful manner of course, as the two of you ended up playing games together for the rest of the evening, until you two got tired. However, due to how late it had gotten, you had Steven sleep at your house, as you didn’t want him walking around late at night, despite the fact that you knew he was capable of making it home by himself, but you just wanted to spend more time with him.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Raw asf introduction panel for Flagstarr
Tumblr media
Do you guys think Everett Ducklair paid his taxes
Tumblr media
Most logical you say? I'm sure that's not a trait that will come up later-
Tumblr media
BRO IS JUST BAILING 😭
Tumblr media
Lmfaooo I love framing Angus Fangus for federal crimes get rekt bozo (also really good looking panels hii Flagstarr hiiiii)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Donald being held at gunpoint like a week after the whole nuclear blast thing, he really can't catch a break can he?
Tumblr media
Btw I am CHEWING on the colors in these pages. Who knew purple and green gradients could be so menacing?
Tumblr media
Looove the background of this page being made up of the X-transformer.... mwah 👌
Tumblr media Tumblr media
sorry
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Spam don't read this part) OK listen I know that losing the west coast is bad and all, but also like, do we really need California? I'm just saying like-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
PK: "IF WE DON'T STOP THOSE EARTHQUAKE MACHINES IT'S GONNA UNEARTH A SUPERCONTINENT AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL DIE" Uno: "Uuuuh idk that actually sounds kinda dope haha. Like a new continent sounds sick as fuck. Maybe we should just let the entire western US die idk lol"
Tumblr media
THEY'RE GETTING DIVOOOOORCED 💔💔💔
Tumblr media
btw guys I'm getting a playlist set up for this issue send me song recs

I was explaining the plot of this comic to a friend (one who knows literally nothing about the duckverse) and she was like "oh Fairfax's motivations sound exactly like Team Magma from Pokemon Ruby" and like... yeah... I GUESS

Yeah it really DIDN'T work out. You're telling me he wanted to keep the keys apart and his master plan was to give the second key to the only other person on the plane with him? Just huck it in the ocean or something cmon Fairfax use that big brain of yours-
I said before in my last post but I just love this issue. I'm sure someone better at literary analysis could explain better than me, but the artwork, the COLORS, the story is all just sooo good and I'm putting it all in my MOUTH. I especially love the messaging between doing what's logical and doing what's right, cause at the end of the day morality is a subjective human trait, and who's to say that killing millions of people for the potential benefit of billions isn't a noble thing to do? Also a rare Uno L in this issue but he's LEARNING okay. He's just a little guy he's just a little hyperintelligent sentient building ok.... leaf him alone........
Btw in case you haven't noticed by now this issue also happens to be what the blog description of @duckblr-book-club is based on and no I'm not the one that wrote that. It is true though, the Pangea Project will be real in 24 hours if certain people don't catch up on reading these comics. SEE YOU NEXT WEEK FOR ODIN TIME!!!!!!

Ahem.
Tumblr media
Trick or treat!! I hope you have an amazing Halloween!! 🖤
(sorry for the delay, today has been! a day!!)
Tumblr media
The ancient door opens slowly, creaking ominously as it goes -- you're kind of surprised they haven't oiled it, actually, given this is a working funeral home and all.
But Maxi steps out from behind it, beaming in his Masquerade finery - the storm gray suit with the skeletal black brocade on the arms and legs, the bones stitched corresponding to the limbs the fabric covers; the blood red dress shirt beneath. Makeup that same shade of red is smeared around his eyes, but he has his glasses on over it this time, clearly having not bothered with contacts.
"Well hi there, sugar!" He looks delighted, genuinely. "You're our first of the evening." He extends the pumpkin-shaped plate in his left hand, upon which rests lots of smaller pumpkin-shaped cookies (with some napkins off to the side - coordinating motif, of course). The jack-o-lantern faces are iced on, and you can guess who did which ones based on the shades of red, green, and purple that outline their features.
"It's just a pumpkin spice recipe," he goes on, shrugging shyly. "But they are a favorite, this time of year. Take a couple, why don't you, we've got plenty."
"The purple ones are better!" Hector's voice calls from somewhere further in the House.
"Aren't you still gettin' dressed?" Maxi frowns over his shoulder.
"Someone's hogging the eyeliner!" Hector hollers back.
"Get your own, you baby," you hear Rora echoing from somewhere deeper still.
Maxi looks back to you with a confiding eyeroll. "Anyway. They all taste the same," he whispers to you. "Hex's just prone to a very... avant garde decorating style."
It's true, the purple jack o lanterns are more likely to have odd rhombuses and swirls for eyes and noses, rather than the more traditional, cheerful shapes of the red faces. The green ones rather look like they've been overgrown with moss, or are all howling in agony.
"It's not mold, I promise," Maxi laughs a touch nervously. "Rora's just, uh. Very naturalistic." He frowns again, looking over his other shoulder. "Speakin' of her... just, uh, keep an eye out for trip-wires and stuff. But anyway!" He looks to you again, grinning. "Thanks for stoppin' by! I love trick or treaters, we almost never get any."
(The cookies, when you try them, are obviously oven fresh, tasting deliciously of pumpkin and weirdly reminiscent of warm autumn sunbeams.)
thanks so much, babe! :3c

tel me abt any cryptid au thoughts you’ve got please
YYAAAAAAAAAAA TY okie so :3c
theres no real rules here its very as they come so far I've just been taking cookies and evolving them like pokemon. there's some monsters, some creepypasta type shit, some corruption arcs and some rewrites you get it. anyway tw use of tumblr formatting features(<- /joke)
Cotton
the og girlie it all started with her!! i spoke about my vampire au before somewhere but its not looking like that fic is coming out any time soon so here's a rundown:
when frost queen offers sherbet a second chance at life, cotton accepts it on his behalf.
and frost queen turns him into a vampire.
frost vampire
whatever
so he's not the same as he was, both physically (his frostbite doesn't go away because no bloodflow, so his hands and feet are black and his joints are busted and he can't talk well) and mentally (he's...undead he's like. not . ,. human. he's kind of a shell honestly)
he attacks cotton as she's carrying him home
frost queen couldn't send them home because she was immediately disgusted at what she had done vis a vis the flow of nature
he attacks cotton as she's carrying him home, and she decides to hide him in his own home
she convinces the rest of the village sherbet's dead and to leave the house alone as a kind of memorial.
no one lives there anyway
shes not manipulative at all!! it just kind of...happens
plus she has to keep everyone safe, not only from sherbet, but from her! as it turns out, letting a vampire feed off you wrongly turns you into a vampire!
funny how that works out
so she turns into a vampire about a year into this when sherbet gets sloppy (you cant blame him he's basically a zombie at this point)
and she starts to feed off of sheep, and when people realise, she starts to feed off them too!!!
and then in one timeline there's a witch hunt that results in her and sherbet being burnt to death along with the house, and in another she succeeds in turning the whole village into vampires looking for unsuspecting travellers to consume! yahoo :)
Cream Unicorn
i mean they're kind of a cryptid on their own i didn't do much. idk if they're an actual wooden unicorn or not i guess so
the reason they can switch between forms is because they're a mascot!!
once upon a time, you could go to the theme park, buy lightsticks and headbands à la The Mouse, eat candyfloss in their palette, and most notably ride the cream unicorn on the carousel!!
as for their human form...... you ever heard of equestria girls?
Kevin Defunctlands voice: And then it went defunct. or whatever he says idk
the theme park lost all relevance and money and shut down
but what's this???? the animatronic(s) of the cream unicorn still exist and have become sentient!
cream unicorn has ball joints and his paint is chipped :(
Caramel Arrow
i've seen this a bunch of times and take no credit for it: she's part dragon! this one's a lot less fleshed out, feel free to add
she was brought to the citadel as a kiddo after being found wandering the wastelands!
classic little 'oh no! lost child' vs 'oh crap! where's my child'
(she lived with her dragon parent up until then. she was just exploring. she wasn't even lost. she just didn't know how to tell them this)
and then she learnt dragons are generally menaces to cookiekind and her parent was probably an exception
she has a tail and horns? although i don't know if i prefer the idea they're just jougwan (thank you fandom wiki) or disguised as such.
she has very very good perception and battle instincts as well, which aren't technically Dragon Traits but they sure as hell help.
lookie!!! she has a tail!
Tumblr media
Alchemist
BOY OH BOY. I CANT BELIEVE I FORGOT HER :3c god i need to redraw this this is from a year ago
Tumblr media
ZOMBIE!!! YAHOO!
by complete fucking coincidence she becomes immortal-ish at the same time as her brother
'at least i'll be free of him when i'm dead. FUCK."
she spilled a fucked-up chemical on herself 300 years ago
batman-villain style
she's slightly radioactive and you'll get woozy if you stay next to her for too long
but that effect will completely wear off after another 600 years dw
her hair is still green and vampire does it up for her every so often
naturally it's red. like his!
he's immune to radiation btw
'at least i'll be free of him when i'm toxic. FUCK.'
Mango
something something ferryman of the dead.
Captain Caviar
something something ghost ship
(something something davy jones cookie)
Squid Ink/Black Pearl
i mean. its self explanatory they're a fucking kraken aint they what do you want me to say
Chili Pepper
this includes red pepper but i'm not an ovenbreak player SORRY
magpie-ish!
she's a harpy. in appearance, sort of, kind of, at least
she covers up her feathers by wearing trench coats and big ass hats.
also her feathers look like chili flakes! i thought that would be fun
lives in a fucking tree probably
also ties in with :
Rye
has been sheriff for as long as anyone can remember..... because she's immortal! firework noises
she's like. a guardian of some kind
rye shoots and she farms and she defends and she tends.
she has the western movie mentality of 'this is my turf' ect but thats just canon
also this is why she's the only person with her accent
its a dialect from decades ago
also her skin is very dry and cracked. like shes made of stone!
i'm not sure of the reason she exists. maybe borne out of the rockeyst mountains as a savioer of its toment'd dwellers or some such
so there's no real coherence or rhyme to any of these, just a bunch of ideas i have. some (like alchemists) just my headcanons and dont count as an AU per se...? idk i have a whole lot of thoughts on a bunch of em!! let me know what you think or if there's anything i could add, anyone i could add.,.,. :Dc i'll draw some of em maybe.

Trope Game
Someone I follow liked this and I stole >:3c
Rules: How much do these tropes affect your decision to click on a fic?
-10 -> very dissuaded
0 - don't care either way
+10 -> very enticed
nope -> if it's a hard no and you'd never click on a fic with that tag or or you even have the tag blocked or you'd insta click out of the fic if it wasn't tagged
Bonus points for explaining the rating and whether it's conditional.
Age gap: -4/nope
It highly depends, it's not a determining factor of whether I'll like a fic or not *if* both characters are adults. If both or one is a minor or too close to be a minor it's a hard nope. If the fic revolves around age gap I'm distrustful generally
Codependency: -2~+3
It can explore interesting ideas for sure! Sometimes it's too much for me though. It highly depends on the author's vision for me here, what situations the characters are in. If they have a long convoluted history it's a plus.
Obsession/Possessiveness, jealousy: +4
I do like possessiveness tropes but hear me out. Both characters are possessive in very different ways and they clash over it. They don't understand each other's way to go about it.
Opposites (grumpy/sunshine etc): +5
It just tends to work well! Sometimes it's boring instead it depends on how well the characters are explored for me.
Enemies to lovers, Enemies with benefits: +100
Forever a favourite. I live for homoerotic rivalry.
Friends with benefits: +3
I don't have anything special to say about this one
Sex to feelings: +7
Yeah I just like to watch characters despair over not getting too attached and failing. This can go many ways other than that, it just tends to be interesting.
Fake dating/relationship: +2
I've never read something like this but I'm interested!
Friends to lovers: +4
I was going to rate it lower but then I remembered long time friends that are not supposed to be friends due to stuff like status and secretly pining for each other and changed my mind.
Found Family: +5
Bonus point if they unionise
Hurt/Comfort: +3000
I'm so down for this always. It's one of my favourite tropes ever. My ultimate coping I guess.
Love Triangle: -1
Nothing wrong with it, I just don't find it so interesting.
Poly, open relationships: 0
Very neutral on this one so far. Reason is no other than I'm very picky about which charas and ships I read about so poly fics with the ships I like are rare. Otherwise good, be poly, kiss a lot
Mistaken/hidden identity: +6
Those are usually very interesting!
Monsterfucking: +473920305
*Looks to one side. Looks to the other. Does finger guns*
Pregnancy: -7
I'm terrified of pregnancy. Unless it's a casual thing happening for plot needs I won't usually read, especially not if the fic revolves around it.
Second Chance: -3
It's ok I guess.
Slowburn: +10
Yesyesyesyesyes. What else do I have to say.
Soulmates: +2
If you mix this with they hate each other it turns into +9 for me
Feel free to consider yourself tagged if you see this!
Extra comment: I love psychological horror tropes. Apocalypse stuff too. Ok that's it thanks for coming to my TED talk have a cookie

The Courtiers as a random assortment of stim/fidget toys that have their vibes and or I can see them using🤲✨
This is SUPER self-indulgent and tailor-made for me by me, BUT I was scrolling an online shop looking at some for myself and couldn't help but assign some to the courtiers hdfighfd (I am a courtier stan first, human second I guess) Again, some of these are just based on vibes alone, but I did try to pick some I can see them actually wanting to use :3c
Valdemar
Tumblr media Tumblr media
First one is obviously based on vibes and vibes alone idfhgifd BUT I think Valdemar constantly needs to be doing something with their hands, and I think the tiny little critter balls are perfect as you can pull on their little arms or even just roll them around for peak hand feelings hehe
I think they would handle the plague beetles in a similar manner tbh; you constantly have to be moving your hands to catch them when handling a beetle + their little feet scurrying would be great for Valdemar :3
Volta
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think any chew jewelry would be very ideal for Volta; she needs to sink her teeth into something. that something being a squishy fake cookie could do the job before she really needs to start biting into something dfighfid (she's probably just consumed these toys though in a blind moment)
Same sorta logic goes for the putty; like Valdemar, Volta needs something to do with her hands (besides nervously wringing them together), and the food smells can either be slightly comforting or just motivating (depending on where in the timeline she's at lmao)
The others (Vulgora, Vlastomil, and Valerius) are undercut :3
Vulgora
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Vulgora definitely needs something that can withstand their just sheer fucking grip lmao Very cool sensation with the metal chain tangle, and it also just looks edgier than a lot of the other tangle options lmao they stim with a THREAT
they can pretend they're crushing Lucio instead of that little angry dude in their hands uwu or anyone that really pisses them off (which is..... everyone..... except maybe Volta)
Vlastomil
Tumblr media Tumblr media
these are..... pretty obvious LMAO anything relatively wormy to keep his hands/mind preoccupied. he truly doesn't care about what anyone is saying ever unless it's about his babies, so he's gotta keep those weird (loving) long hands busy
I liked the desk one particularly, I feel like he would have that like in his office lmao
Valerius
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Personal HC that Valerius has a really bad habit of pulling his hair while stressed/disassociating (as well as biting his nails/cuticles), so he'd need something that literally would emulate that for him when he's super stressed out/anxious from work.
I like the idea of him keeping the lamb on his desk and just stabbing it whenever he gets overwhelmed or angry over Lucio's incompetence <3

*bursts through your wall* VALTIEL!! THE HORNED KING!!! For the character ask. Pwease <3c ~ avid-adoxography
Send me a character and I'll list:
Valtiel
Favorite thing about them: The fact that he exists as an actual guardian angel to Cheryl? Granted the canon doesn't do much with this and in canon he probably doesn't actually care about her but I don't care, "Girl and her weird pet monster" is like my favorite friendship dynamic
Least favorite thing about them: How we just know so little about him and how he never appeared in another Silent Gill game outside of that weird dungeon-crawling spinoff, Book of Memories. And there he had no story significance, he just gave you missions. Pyramid Head is cool and all but PLEASE can we get some Valtiel content. He's the one that actually makes sense to see again since unlike PH he's not tied to one specific person's mind! But granted, I really want to see him be pals with Cheryl and they definitely won't do that since it wouldn't be scary.
Favorite line: He doesn't talk outside of giving you missions in Book of Memories. I like the noises you can hear him make in the cutscene where he retrieves dead Cheryl though. He's a snarly hissy boy
brOTP: CHERYL! I love the idea of him being all protective and friendly with her. And her helping him when he's banished because he gets hurt pretty bad...
OTP: I don't really know honestly. He's not a character I tend to ship romantically. I've seen stuff of him and Pyramid Head which was SPICY but idk if I like them romantically together
nOTP: I don't really like the romantic ship with Cheryl but it doesn't repulse me enough to call it a nOTP
Random headcanon: uh...he can walk normally he just prefers crawling
Unpopular opinion: I guess just that I don't ship him with Cheryl? Most of his fans seem to
Song I associate with them: Almost Human ~ Aurelio Voltaire
Favorite picture of them: Uh...IDK honestly
The Horned King
Favorite thing about them: Ugh, EVERYTHING. But I'll settle on his voice. John Hurt did such a good performance.
Least favorite thing about them: How little Disney actually acknowledges him. And that the only attraction that ever featured him is closed forever. One of the things I'd do if time travel were possible: Visit the Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour. One of the things I'd do if I were filthy rich: Buy whatever's left of his animatronic and have it restored for my own collection (or have a new one built if there's nothing left)
Favorite line: He doesn't have a bad line but I love the way he taunts the protagonists after capturing them. He's being sarcastic but the way he says it it doesn't even sound cocky, just cold. Shivers.
brOTP: I currently have him as besties with the other necromancers I've f/o'd -- Demongo and Licorice Cookie. For just Disney villains, I like the idea of him being reluctant pals with Madam Mim who just playfully annoys him. And I feel like he could lament over being a criminally underrated Disney villain with NOS-4-A2.
OTP: ME. ok but besides my selfship, Maleficent. I just...think they're cool together.
nOTP: I don't really have any ships that I really hate with him
Random headcanon: The gwythaints are like pets to him and they're descendants of the ones Arawn used to torment into obedience. They're one of the only living things he's kind to.
Unpopular opinion: Uh...IDK. Honestly at this point I think just liking him as a villain is an unpopular opinion because a lot of people either don't even know about him or think he's nothing special. In that case maybe my unpopular opinion is that I actually really like the movie he's from and would love to see it attempted again (preferably still animated but I would settle for a live-action adaptation as long as it uses good practical effects everywhere it can.)
Song I associate with them: I have a whole playlist but my go to song is Hail To The King ~ Avenged Sevenfold.
Favorite picture of them: I don't know if I still have it but that one where he sees the Cauldron-Born starting to die off again and he just looks DISTRAUGHT.

I rlly want to know how you did you're header cuz holy fuck it looks so cool!!!
OK OMG SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG TO ANSWER THIS BUT. First of all, thank you so much 🥺💖💖 Second, I'm more than willing to answer so I can brag about my header cuz I worked SUPER hard on it and would love to share my work process 💖💖💖 This is gonna be a liiitle complex, so here's the TLDR version of my process with a full explanation under the cut (plus some other fun info under the cut!)
I made the colored overlay in my art program of choice (Illustrator) and made the colors partially transparent, while keeping the black lines 100% opaque to have solid separations between each clip. I also figured in advance that I'd fit 5 boxes in the frame at a time so I sized them appropriately
I used my video editing software of choice (Sony Movie Studio) to place each clip in and manually crop and pan all 13 of my selected video segments to make sure they fit in their respective boxes. This was the biggest chunk of the work tbh :0
My original plan was to export the clip as frames and place them into a gifmaker, but this thing was such a beast at 15 seconds and 449 frames that it exceeded the frame limit of any gifmaking site, so instead I exported the clip as a video and used an MP4 to GIF converter.
The final file came out to 34 MB (which is HUGE for a gif) so to get it under Tumblr's 10MB gif limit, I had to compress and optimize the hell out of it by shrinking it, cutting the colors down and adding lossiness, and the final file in my header right now is a bit under 9MB
There we go, that was a condensed version of my whole process!! But under the cut I've got some screenshots of the editing process if you're interested :3c. Give it a look, I worked super hard on it!
Tumblr media
Here's the original file of the colored overlay! The canvas dimension started at what I knew would be the width of my GIF, so I started at 720px and measured 5 boxes within the space. Afterwards, I copied and pasted the boxes until I had 18 total, and I resized the canvas to fit the entire thing accordingly. See how the five boxes on the end are the same colors as the five at the beginning? That's where the GIF loops in the final product!
Tumblr media
And here we have the video file I used to create the GIF! Fun fact, I actually intended there to be a text overlay of my url, but I decided to remove it at the last second. In my opinion, the finished piece looks much better without text uwu But you can still see the layer up top that had the text in it!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's really hard to describe how much work this actually was unless you're familiar with video editing software, but basically everything you see that moves in the final gif, well, there's no automatic process to make it move in that way. To put it simply, the easiest way I could do it was to tell the editing program to move the clip from point A to point B, but those two points had to chosen manually. This was much easier on clips of my f/os who stayed in one spot, like Tom, Massimo and Robotnik's clips, but there were clips where my fave moved around so that they wouldn't still be inside the box if I only gave the clip the "point A, point B" command. That means that there had to be multiple other movement points in between, and some up these clips move a LOT so they ended up having to go from point A to, like, point H. (Discord's is actually kinda messy in my opinion, as I was trying to keep his head in frame even when he threw it back to laugh, so you'll understand what I mean if you go back to that one in particular.)
But I also had to make sure that the clips didn't overlap each other, so for every single clip I had to crop them using a cookie cutter video effect, which I also had to, you guessed it, give a point A and point B to move across. Also, you may notice the top five clips that I had to cut to go at the end and beginning of the GIF so that it looped properly, and for all of those clips, I had to make sure the end and beginning had the exact same frame, and I had to copy-paste the position coordinates as well to make sure that the loop was nearly seamless. In the final product you can notice a slight stutter where the gif loops, but in my opinion it worked out much better than I thought it would!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay that's pretty much it for the technical stuff but lastly, I wanted to show off the notes I was doing on my little desk notepad to keep track of stuff during this whole project. Fun fact I started this project a little bit before I added Massimo as an f/o, which is why his name is kinda reluctantly squeezed in on both pages. On the left you can see my process for deciding the colored box I'd assign to each f/o; my starting number was 12 faves so I tried to do 2 shades of each other the rainbow's colors. You may also notice that Hopper's color ended up being Massimo's, and I changed Hopper's to more of a forest green!
On the right I had the order the clips were going in, as well as some various coordinate notes to help me remember where to place a few clips. You can also see I wrote down the conversion site I used to turn clips I found into MP4s, cuz sadly youtube to MP4 sites are becoming an endangered species ;-;
Aaaand that's about everything I can think of! I'm very happy with the final product and I'm very glad that a lot of people seem to think it's cool! 💝💝💝

The two of them had been at each other’s necks all day, a little more than usual. On the one hand, Max generally seemed to be playing around with Henry or at the very least, unaware of how much he was bothering him. But, he definitely had to be purposely upsetting him today. Charlotte… didn’t want to get involved. In general, she was a peacemaker, and specifically, she was their peacemaker. But… This was supposed to be a fun weekend!
She had been having a blast with Oyster, who wanted her to try to do his hair like hers. “Your hair isn’t the right texture for this style.”
“Can you do it to Angus?” He wondered. Angus’ afro was 3c, maybe 4a, so close enough to her curl pattern where she might.
“What makes you think that Angus wants this hairstyle, Oyster?” Charlotte asked.
“I’ll take it,” Angus said, laughing. Charlotte then proceeded to make rows of braids on the sides of Angus’ head, pulling up into a fro hawk, as he played videogames.
On the other side of the room, Henry glared at Max and Ray came up with a plan, “Look at that! Look at that!” He said.
“What?” Henry and Jasper wondered.
“Charlotte and the puffy haired kid. They’re hitting it off, right?” He asked. “What if… he asked her out on a date?”
“She’d say no,” Henry said, at the same time Jasper said, “He’d get embarrassed in front of his friends.”
Ray rolled his eyes and said, “You kids no nothing. I’ve gotten rid of a TON of women by just pushing them off on somebody else and I’m sure that I can get Charlotte off of that kid you hate, the same way.”
“Charlotte’s NOTHING like anybody that you’d date,” Henry tried to point out to him.
Meanwhile Jasper said, “You can’t outsmart Charlotte, Dude.”
But Ray was on his way. He flopped down next to the two and made Charlotte mess up her current braid. She scoffed and looked at him. “So… This is cute,” he said and pointed between the two. Angus glanced at him, confused. “You two look… mighty cute together. Anything in common?”
“Max,” Angus said. This was Max’s girlfriend, as far as he could tell.
“Oh, that guy, yeah. I don’t see how either of you are friends with him, if I’m being honest, but you’re JUST friends, right Charlotte?” Ray asked. She laughed nervously while Angus got distracted from the game to look up at her reaction, messing up the same braid again.
“Yeah, yeah, we are,” She said, then told Angus, “Eyes front, Bro. I’m almost done.”Angus returned to the game, but Max had just won the match. He groaned, but this wasn’t Max’s girlfriend? That was… interesting… But, she definitely wouldn’t be interested in him though. She seemed really smart and stuff. He was some artsy dude who embarrassingly had once referred to himself as a living Drake song.
“Well, I think that you would be adorable together,” Ray said.
“You don’t know anything about this guy,” Charlotte told him.
“I know that he’s beautiful. His voice is very soothing. His hair is nice and full. He’s great at video games. He has fashion sense, I think… for your generation, I guess. You like fashion and video games, too.”
“I’m a musician!” Angus said, more to Charlotte than Ray.
“Charlotte LOVES music!” Ray said, giving him a playful punch in the arm. Charlotte squinted her eyes at Ray. What was he up to? “You know, she was in a band once?”
“I was too, with Max,” Angus said. “Now, I have my own. I make tracks, they’re kinda rock, kinda rap, but not like that metal rap stuff from your day. Good, honest rap and good honest rock. It’s a vibe, really.”
“My day?”Ray repeated. “I’m not that old…”
“So, there’s like an age gap between you and your partner?” Angus wondered.
“My partner?”
“He thinks you and Schwoz are together,” Charlotte presumed and clarified.
“WHAT?” Ray said and now, he was done speaking to this guy. He returned to Henry and Jasper and told them, “Not gonna work. Kid’s a complete moron.”
“You sure about that Mr. Schwartz?” Henry asked, laughing. But, they heard Angus ask Charlotte, “So… You’re… really single?”
She laughed and looked at him, “I don’t know how anybody finds the time not to be, to be honest. I’m single by choice. I have no idea why he’s trying to play matchmaker. He’s not good at it. He’s not good at most things…”
Angus got eliminated and sighed. Two losses for him, then. “Well, yeah… I can’t imagine what somebody like you would see in me,” he said.
She furrowed her eyebrows and said, “All done! We oughtta take selfies.”
Max was watching the whole time. He couldn’t hear the conversation, but he felt territorial, nonetheless. Technically, he knew that he probably shouldn’t be. Charlotte was very independent and wasn’t officially his, and even if she was, she was the type to value her freedom and love someone who could trust her to be around anybody else. But, not everybody else knew her like he did. He had paid a lot of attention and learned a lot of information. While Angus might be hitting it off with her or was happening right now, he had no idea that their little whatever was happening right now, he had no idea that their little superficial brief connection was cutting into Charlotte’s lunch time.
Soon, her blood sugar would be low, she’d be cranky and ready to snap at people, then be mad that she had to fix something  to eat/that she had let herself get hangry.
Max left them to their laughter and such and went to fix her a sandwich, some fries, put a few cookies on the plate, and make some tea. He set everything down and went outside to grab some flowers, just to accent the tray. Whenever he got back inside, she was getting up from the couch with her grouchy face on…"Char!“ He called.
She looked up, and he could tell that she was about to brush him off because she needed to get something to eat, so he spoke quickly as he handed her the tray, “Made you lunch. I know that you’re approaching hangry hours.” She stared at the tray for a moment as he announced, “Grilled gouda BLT with arugula and spinach and honey mustard, fries, lemon white chocolate cookies and a chai latte… Your… brunch order, right? Whenever you call The Deli Royale? I just… hacked into their system for the recipe so I could make it for you at home for a fraction of the price… free to you!”
She looked up at him, and he could see in her eyes that he had won. She stepped closer and smiled, picking up a fry. “Wanna share?” she asked.
“Not really hungry, but might grab a few fries.” They sat at the island and chatted while she ate and touched him casually, numerous times. They were sitting close, knees touching and he leaned in to tell her stuff the entire lunch.
“So… Are you on truce with Henry right now?” She asked. “You two sure seemed out for blood earlier.”
He shrugged his shoulders, “He was out for my blood. I basically was just plucking him in the forehead. You know that if I ever actually wanted to come up against Henry, he’d be destroyed.”
“I appreciate you holding back for him,” she said with a little smile.
“I don’t do it for him.”
“You know, you’ve said that before to me, but you never expound. You do it, why? For the sake of being a hero? Because you’re bigger than that or something?” She wondered as she took a sip of her drink.
“I do it for you,” he said, as plainly as one might say ‘hello.’ She choked on her latte and he winced. She laughed at herself by the time she stopped choking and placed a hand on his shoulder. “Sorry. Didn’t mean to catch you off guard,” he said, blushing. “You all set to destroy these guys?” He asked.
“Yep!” She was about to take her dishes away, but he grabbed the tray from her, kissed her on the temple of her head, which she leaned deeper into, and he smiled against her skin and went to put the dishes away. Charlotte slowly slid off of the stool to go back to the others, unable to stop smiling about what had just happened. That was… not platonic, right? That was definitely not her imagination. Max had made her lunch, told her that she mattered and kissed her on the face. Sure, friends did stuff like that, but… This didn’t feel like that.
“Where’d you vanish to?” Oyster wondered when she showed up again.
“I was right there, at the island, having lunch,” she said and pointed to it. Max laughed from the kitchen… which was open to the living room. “Or, are you messing with me, Oyster. Because, I honestly can never tell if you’re actually confused or pulling my chain.”
“I actually have never joked about anything, ever in my life. I’m a very serious person,” he said. Charlotte sat down in between Oyster and Angus as Angus played against Henry. Max came to the couch and Oyster and Charlotte slid over so that he could be in between her and Angus.
.
Whenever Henry and Max played against each other, they were bickering again. Charlotte laughingly watched them, but the more that they played against each other, the uglier it got. “I mean, maybe I won’t beat you in this game, but I definitely think that there’s something that I have to be able to beat you at.”
“Whenever you think you’ve figured out what that is, let me know and I’ll be happy to prove you wrong,” Max retorted and stuck his tongue out.
“Invoking Best Friend Privilege for Charlotte to tell me Max’s weaknesses!” Henry declared, on the verge of losing the match.
Charlotte’s legs were draped across Max’s lap as she listed off on her fingers, “Well, I know for sure that you can’t defeat him in anything academically especially not math or science related, he’s a former tennis champ, master of pranks (Henry scoffed, but he knew that it was probably true. Max was smart. Smart goes a long way with pranks), his Hero Tracks shows that he’s got more hero credentials than you, he’s whupping you in video games…”
“I asked for weaknesses, not to add insult to injury while he decimates me!” Henry fussed at her.
“SORRY! I’m doing the process of elimination out loud!” She fussed right back. “For instance, we know that he can cook AND ALSO bake, he plays guitar, is good with animals and babies… OH! Can you draw?” She wondered. “Henry is pretty artistic. Remember that time you carved that pumpkin to look like Ray?” She asked Henry, excitedly hoping that she was helping, because Max had just beat Henry and Henry had fallen back onto the couch in exhausted defeat.
“I can draw. Remind me to show you some of my gadget designs and portraits,” Max said, coolly, then asked Henry, “Can I get you some ice, Hen?” He smiled as Henry slammed the controller into Schwoz’s hands.
“He’s not good at writing,” Oyster said. “Remember those songs you used to try to write?”
Max narrowed his eyes at him, but just as well, because Charlotte shook her head and said, “Henry sucks at writing. Jasper’s the writer of our group.”
Max’s head turned quickly towards her and he pointed a pinky at Jasper and asked, “That Jasper?”
“He’s the only one I know,” she said, defensively. Jasper lowkey worshiped Max. There was no need for him to start being ugly to him. “He could’ve helped you write a song, Mr. Extra Toe.” Max chuckled and handed off his controller to Wolfgang. Charlotte tilted her head, trying to think. “Oh! He’s good with flowers!” She cheered, excitedly.
“Once brought a plant back from the dead,” Max bragged.
“It became a room sized monster,” Nora reminded him.
“So, I made it EXTRA alive!” Max said. His sister rolled her eyes.
“I need to know that story,” Charlotte said. Max moved his mouth to begin, but she cut him off. “Not now, though. Jasper… I’m invoking Best Friend Privilege for you to remind me of Henry’s strengths as his best friend and soulmate.”
Henry frowned. He couldn’t BELIEVE that it was this hard for Charlotte to tell him something that he could be better than Max at. But, Jasper was READY to be tagged in. He yelled, “Dance Battle!”
Henry’s ears perked up, but when Max smirked, his shoulders sank. “Are you a dance champion too?”
“I mean… not a champion, but if you’ve seen me fight, you should know that I’m very fluid and agile… also I’ve danced for many years.”
“Didn’t you have a dance battle at a school dance one time?” Nora asked.
“Sure did. Dude got served. Then, I swerved on the girl that I battled for.”
Charlotte sat up more erect and asked, “It was for a girl?”
“Mostly for my pride. After she chose me, I realized it was really pitiful that I was willing to put all those moves into getting her to like me.” She nodded, but she looked bothered. “You… okay?” He asked.
“Sure.” She laughed. “Why wouldn’t I be?” Then, after Jasper yelling out random things, Charlotte finally said, “Brotherhood!” Max furrowed his eyebrows. “No offense, but whenever we met you, you sold your sister out and while that may have changed by now, your siblings are here way less than Piper is and Henry NEVER would have done anything to ever hurt, harm or shame Piper, all the years of her life, so… I’ll say that. And, it’s gonna have to be enough for Hen, because I have racked my brain.”
“Max has DEFINITELY done a lot of crappy things as a brother,” Nora said, nodding her head. She and Billy began to list off some stuff while Henry gave Charlotte a high five.
Max smiled and said, “Well, at least there’s that, Henry Hart.” Then, he began a slow applause that made Henry feel less excited about the small victory.
Charlotte placed a hand on Max’s and stopped him, giving him a look and mouthed the words, “For me?” Her eyes did the questioning. Would he stop bothering Henry right now , for her? He immediately stopped taunting Henry and intertwined his fingers with Charlotte’s.
“Anything,” he whispered.

Okay, this can be the last Video Game Tournament Weekend chapter. I’ve been stagnant for the past few weeks. Between being sick, broke, overworked, and depressed, I just had a hard time creating. Seeing the promo for Cave the Date helped, though. All up in my “Love on Charlotte” feels at the moment.

“Oh, that guy, yeah. I don’t see how either of you are friends with him, if I’m being honest, but you’re JUST friends, right Charlotte?” Ray asked. She laughed nervously while Angus got distracted from the game to look up at her reaction, messing up the same braid again.
“Yeah, yeah, we are,” She said, then told Angus, “Eyes front, Bro. I’m almost done.”Angus returned to the game, but Max had just won the match. He groaned, but this wasn’t Max’s girlfriend? That was… interesting… But, she definitely wouldn’t be interested in him though. She seemed really smart and stuff. He was some artsy dude who embarrassingly had once referred to himself as a living Drake song.
“Well, I think that you would be adorable together,” Ray said.
“You don’t know anything about this guy,” Charlotte told him.
“I know that he’s beautiful. His voice is very soothing. His hair is nice and full. He’s great at video games. He has fashion sense, I think… for your generation, I guess. You like fashion and video games, too.”
“I’m a musician!” Angus said, more to Charlotte than Ray.
“Charlotte LOVES music!” Ray said, giving him a playful punch in the arm. Charlotte squinted her eyes at Ray. What was he up to? “You know, she was in a band once?”
“I was too, with Max,” Angus said. “Now, I have my own. I make tracks, they’re kinda rock, kinda rap, but not like that metal rap stuff from your day. Good, honest rap and good honest rock. It's a vibe, really.”
“My day?”Ray repeated. “I’m not that old…”
“So, there’s like an age gap between you and your partner?” Angus wondered.
“My partner?”
“He thinks you and Schwoz are together,” Charlotte presumed and clarified.
“WHAT?” Ray said and now, he was done speaking to this guy. He returned to Henry and Jasper and told them, “Not gonna work. Kid’s a complete moron.”
“You sure about that Mr. Schwartz?” Henry asked, laughing. But, they heard Angus ask Charlotte, “So… You’re… really single?”
She laughed and looked at him, “I don’t know how anybody finds the time not to be, to be honest. I’m single by choice. I have no idea why he’s trying to play matchmaker. He’s not good at it. He’s not good at most things…” 
Angus got eliminated and sighed. Two losses for him, then. “Well, yeah… I can’t imagine what somebody like you would see in me,” he said.
She furrowed her eyebrows and said, “All done! We oughtta take selfies.” 
Max was watching the whole time. He couldn’t hear the conversation, but he felt territorial, nonetheless. Technically, he knew that he probably shouldn’t be. Charlotte was very independent and wasn’t officially his, and even if she was, she was the type to value her freedom and love someone who could trust her to be around anybody else. But, not everybody else knew her like he did. He had paid a lot of attention and learned a lot of information. While Angus might be hitting it off with her or was happening right now, he had no idea that their little whatever was happening right now, he had no idea that their little superficial brief connection was cutting into Charlotte's lunch time. 
Soon, her blood sugar would be low, she'd be cranky and ready to snap at people, then be mad that she had to fix something  to eat/that she had let herself get hangry. 
Max left them to their laughter and such and went to fix her a sandwich, some fries, put a few cookies on the plate, and make some tea. He set everything down and went outside to grab some flowers, just to accent the tray. Whenever he got back inside, she was getting up from the couch with her grouchy face on…"Char!" He called.
She looked up, and he could tell that she was about to brush him off because she needed to get something to eat, so he spoke quickly as he handed her the tray, “Made you lunch. I know that you’re approaching hangry hours.” She stared at the tray for a moment as he announced, “Grilled gouda BLT with arugula and spinach and honey mustard, fries, lemon white chocolate cookies and a chai latte… Your… brunch order, right? Whenever you call The Deli Royale? I just… hacked into their system for the recipe so I could make it for you at home for a fraction of the price… free to you!”
She looked up at him, and he could see in her eyes that he had won. She stepped closer and smiled, picking up a fry. “Wanna share?” she asked.
“Not really hungry, but might grab a few fries.” They sat at the island and chatted while she ate and touched him casually, numerous times. They were sitting close, knees touching and he leaned in to tell her stuff the entire lunch.
“So… Are you on truce with Henry right now?” She asked. “You two sure seemed out for blood earlier.”
He shrugged his shoulders, “He was out for my blood. I basically was just plucking him in the forehead. You know that if I ever actually wanted to come up against Henry, he’d be destroyed.”
“I appreciate you holding back for him,” she said with a little smile.
“I don’t do it for him.”
“You know, you’ve said that before to me, but you never expound. You do it, why? For the sake of being a hero? Because you’re bigger than that or something?” She wondered as she took a sip of her drink.
“I do it for you,” he said, as plainly as one might say ‘hello.’ She choked on her latte and he winced. She laughed at herself by the time she stopped choking and placed a hand on his shoulder. “Sorry. Didn’t mean to catch you off guard,” he said, blushing. “You all set to destroy these guys?” He asked.
“Yep!” She was about to take her dishes away, but he grabbed the tray from her, kissed her on the temple of her head, which she leaned deeper into, and he smiled against her skin and went to put the dishes away. Charlotte slowly slid off of the stool to go back to the others, unable to stop smiling about what had just happened. That was… not platonic, right? That was definitely not her imagination. Max had made her lunch, told her that she mattered and kissed her on the face. Sure, friends did stuff like that, but… This didn’t feel like that. 
“Where’d you vanish to?” Oyster wondered when she showed up again.
“I was right there, at the island, having lunch,” she said and pointed to it. Max laughed from the kitchen… which was open to the living room. “Or, are you messing with me, Oyster. Because, I honestly can never tell if you’re actually confused or pulling my chain.”
“I actually have never joked about anything, ever in my life. I’m a very serious person,” he said. Charlotte sat down in between Oyster and Angus as Angus played against Henry. Max came to the couch and Oyster and Charlotte slid over so that he could be in between her and Angus. 
.
Whenever Henry and Max played against each other, they were bickering again. Charlotte laughingly watched them, but the more that they played against each other, the uglier it got. “I mean, maybe I won’t beat you in this game, but I definitely think that there’s something that I have to be able to beat you at.”
“Whenever you think you’ve figured out what that is, let me know and I’ll be happy to prove you wrong,” Max retorted and stuck his tongue out. 
“Invoking Best Friend Privilege for Charlotte to tell me Max’s weaknesses!” Henry declared, on the verge of losing the match. 
Charlotte’s legs were draped across Max’s lap as she listed off on her fingers, “Well, I know for sure that you can’t defeat him in anything academically especially not math or science related, he’s a former tennis champ, master of pranks (Henry scoffed, but he knew that it was probably true. Max was smart. Smart goes a long way with pranks), his Hero Tracks shows that he’s got more hero credentials than you, he’s whupping you in video games…”
“I asked for weaknesses, not to add insult to injury while he decimates me!” Henry fussed at her.
“SORRY! I’m doing the process of elimination out loud!” She fussed right back. “For instance, we know that he can cook AND ALSO bake, he plays guitar, is good with animals and babies… OH! Can you draw?” She wondered. “Henry is pretty artistic. Remember that time you carved that pumpkin to look like Ray?” She asked Henry, excitedly hoping that she was helping, because Max had just beat Henry and Henry had fallen back onto the couch in exhausted defeat. 
“I can draw. Remind me to show you some of my gadget designs and portraits,” Max said, coolly, then asked Henry, “Can I get you some ice, Hen?” He smiled as Henry slammed the controller into Schwoz’s hands.
“He’s not good at writing,” Oyster said. “Remember those songs you used to try to write?” 
Max narrowed his eyes at him, but just as well, because Charlotte shook her head and said, “Henry sucks at writing. Jasper’s the writer of our group.” 
Max’s head turned quickly towards her and he pointed a pinky at Jasper and asked, “That Jasper?”
“He’s the only one I know,” she said, defensively. Jasper lowkey worshiped Max. There was no need for him to start being ugly to him. “He could’ve helped you write a song, Mr. Extra Toe.” Max chuckled and handed off his controller to Wolfgang. Charlotte tilted her head, trying to think. “Oh! He’s good with flowers!” She cheered, excitedly.
“Once brought a plant back from the dead,” Max bragged.
“It became a room sized monster,” Nora reminded him.
“So, I made it EXTRA alive!” Max said. His sister rolled her eyes.
“I need to know that story,” Charlotte said. Max moved his mouth to begin, but she cut him off. “Not now, though. Jasper… I’m invoking Best Friend Privilege for you to remind me of Henry’s strengths as his best friend and soulmate.”
Henry frowned. He couldn’t BELIEVE that it was this hard for Charlotte to tell him something that he could be better than Max at. But, Jasper was READY to be tagged in. He yelled, “Dance Battle!” 
Henry’s ears perked up, but when Max smirked, his shoulders sank. “Are you a dance champion too?”
“I mean… not a champion, but if you’ve seen me fight, you should know that I’m very fluid and agile… also I’ve danced for many years.”
“Didn’t you have a dance battle at a school dance one time?” Nora asked.
“Sure did. Dude got served. Then, I swerved on the girl that I battled for.” 
Charlotte sat up more erect and asked, “It was for a girl?”
“Mostly for my pride. After she chose me, I realized it was really pitiful that I was willing to put all those moves into getting her to like me.” She nodded, but she looked bothered. “You… okay?” He asked.
“Sure.” She laughed. “Why wouldn’t I be?” Then, after Jasper yelling out random things, Charlotte finally said, “Brotherhood!” Max furrowed his eyebrows. “No offense, but whenever we met you, you sold your sister out and while that may have changed by now, your siblings are here way less than Piper is and Henry NEVER would have done anything to ever hurt, harm or shame Piper, all the years of her life, so… I’ll say that. And, it’s gonna have to be enough for Hen, because I have racked my brain.”
“Max has DEFINITELY done a lot of crappy things as a brother,” Nora said, nodding her head. She and Billy began to list off some stuff while Henry gave Charlotte a high five. 
Max smiled and said, “Well, at least there’s that, Henry Hart.” Then, he began a slow applause that made Henry feel less excited about the small victory. 
Charlotte placed a hand on Max’s and stopped him, giving him a look and mouthed the words, “For me?” Her eyes did the questioning. Would he stop bothering Henry right now , for her? He immediately stopped taunting Henry and intertwined his fingers with Charlotte’s.
“Anything,” he whispered.

Yoho! I decided to go ahead and make a TierList of my confidence level will all my muses! Heehe! Obviously, this is so people know who to send hate for that’ll shake me the most... 
Just kidding. It’s mostly for me, but I guess if people wanna help me get more confident they can send stuff in for the lower down muses. That said, don’t feel pressured to! I’ll build confidence in my own time regardless... (or in some cases, i wont, and things well end how they have here.)
  Anyway - under a read more cause BIG. 
https://imgur.com/a/QrbwUCD !!! 
There it is! All my OCs are at the top, cause obviously, i know them inside out. and then going down the list, my confidence goes lower and lower...  Ouch! 
Obviously, my confidence level is affected by a few things...like how new the muse is to my blog, or how much of a grasp I feel I have on their character. IC interactions and stuff help with that second bit.  Ultimately, though, my confidence level doesn’t dictate how well I know them - it’s just how I feel!
If anyone can understand the naming scheme of the tiers, then you get 1 internet cookie!  If you’d like, feel free to ask why certain characters are where they are, too! I’d do that in one post, but it’d be way too big hahaha!  ( also feel free to ask WHICH character is where in case you can’t tell whose who >:3c) 
Tumblr media
That’s all for now~! Don’t ask why I did this! Felt like it!

Get to Know the Blogger
Can be used for RP and non-RP blogs to get to know a bit about the person behind the screen! Repost, don’t reblog!
1. FIRST NAME:  My alias is KumaraDosha, and you can call me that, Kumara, Mara, or something else you have learned I go by. :3c
2. STRANGE FACT ABOUT YOURSELF: I have an extra half a vertebra in my lumbar spine, bigger on the left side, that makes my back less stable and more susceptible to pain and injury, and part of the reason I had to change my career from being a surgical technologist was because of that wear and tear.
3. TOP THREE PHYSICAL THINGS YOU FIND ATTRACTIVE ON A PERSON: ...I really don’t know how to answer this. Attraction is so finicky for me, and “aesthetically pleasing” really just depends on the person. I guess all I can say is the most identifiable “type” of person I’d be attracted to are sort of...waifish women? Maybe Scandinavian features, IDK. Something vaguely similar to Anya Taylor-Joy’s soft looks, any hair color.
4. A FOOD YOU COULD EAT FOREVER AND NOT GET BORED OF: Ice cream/shakes.
5. A FOOD YOU HATE: Olives.
6. GUILTY PLEASURE: Assigning characters of different fandoms Homestuck godtier classes and aspects.
7. WHAT DO YOU SLEEP IN: Usually an old, big shirt and pajama pants.
8. SERIOUS RELATIONSHIPS OR FLINGS: Serious relationships only, if not neither.
9. IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN THE PAST AND CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WOULD YOU AND WHAT WOULD IT BE: I might go back and pick sonography as my major first, instead of trying nursing school, getting psychologically abused and mistreated by nursing teachers, having a breakdown and quitting, getting a surgical technology degree after being treated poorly by teachers/students/staff, quitting surgical tech work after 3 years due to depression/anxiety and physical strain, then coming back to school for a third time with past healthcare-school trauma and trying to get a bachelor’s in sonography. Then again, I learned a whole lot--educationally, about life, about the behaviors and cultures of healthcare workers, and about how people are--in those other schools/professions, so I’m not sure that’s worth giving up? I’d be very much richer right now, though, and not dependent on family or in debt. Plus, surgical technology is actually really cool (and still very much a passion of mine), and I don’t want to give those experiences and memories up. So maybe I’d just nix the nursing school, do surgical tech for a few years, and then go for sonography. Who knows, man; life and its consequences are so unpredictable.
10. ARE YOU AN AFFECTIONATE PERSON: Probably not. I am very sensitive to rejection if I’ve been honest or vulnerable, so I usually only gush over people I trust and honestly feel that way about.
11. A MOVIE YOU COULD WATCH OVER AND OVER AGAIN: I really don’t know if there’s any like that for me?? But I guess The Signal is a movie I like to show people and watch with them, because many haven’t seen it, and I find it fascinating. I also love Tron Legacy a whole lot.
13. YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP ANY ANIMAL AS A PET, WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE: I would choose a Samoyed dog, if I were able to have it well-taken-care-of (which I can’t do at this point, which is why I don’t have one).
14. TOP FIVE FICTIONAL SHIPS: Oh boy, uh. At the moment? It’s hard for me to give any ultimate lists, because they can all be terribly mishandled or cringe depending on how they’re portrayed, which often somehow turns out to be popular in the fandom, and that spoils it for me a little bit... You know what, screw the rules; I’ma throw out a bunch--six from BNHA that I favor atm and then a diverse cast of some oldies I still like that will be more than five. Not particularly in order of rank...
From BNHA, Monoma Neito x Shinsou Hitoshi; Monoma Neito x Midoriya Izuku; Monoma Neito x Kuroiro Shihai (there may or may not be huge RP bias here); Bakugou Katsuki x Uraraka Ochaco; Bakugou Katsuki x Todoroki Shouto; Shigaraki Tomura x Dabi.
From other fandoms... Kuja x Terra (Dissidia Final Fantasy), Genos x Sonic (One Punch Man), Akabane Karma x Asano Gakushu (Assassination Classroom), Beyond Birthday x L Lawliet (Death Note, but ONLY from an epic-long series of canon-divergent fanfictions that nobody’s going to have heard of), Yami Bakura x Yami Yugi (Yu-Gi-Oh!), Aoba x Noiz (Dramatical Murder), Matsuoka Rin x Nanase Haruka (Free!), Eridan Ampora x Sollux Captor (Homestuck), Caliborn x Dirk Strider (Homestuck), The Batter x Zacharie (OFF), Sniper x Spy (Team Fortress 2). ...The hate/enemies/rivals ships are kind of a theme, aren’t they.
15. PIE OR CAKE: Cake.
16. FAVORITE SCENT: At the moment, I really like the Snowflakes and Cashmere body wash at Bath and Body Works. Also Butterfly Flower. Also give me baking cookies or blueberry muffins.
17. CELEBRITY CRUSH: They all disappoint me. They’re just human beings, often not very good ones.
18. IF YOU COULD TRAVEL ANYWHERE, WHERE WOULD YOU GO: Heaven, bitch. (Okay, maybe an island resort or a cruise or something.)
19. INTROVERT OR EXTROVERT:  Introvert who can appear extremely extrovert in comfortable company. I guess ambivert fits better.
20. DO YOU SCARE EASILY: Depends. In real life, I’d say not really, but if you can find a way to trigger my imaginative paranoia, then maybe. I can’t play scary video games, because they make me way too tense, but I absolutely love watching other people play them, and I get very scared, especially by jumpscares (but in a fun way, LOL). I also love watching horror movies (though most are embarrassingly un-scary). I do not like jumpscares in movies. Cheap. I also love reading/hearing creepy stories that are presumably true (that’s usually what triggers my imaginative paranoia and puts me in a bad headspace, but whoops, still interesting to me).
21. IPHONE OR ANDROID: I’ve only ever had iPhone.
22. DO YOU PLAY ANY VIDEO GAMES: Yeah. I wish I played more, but I seem to procrastinate a lot on playing games for some reason, and I’m not that good besides. I prefer PC to consoles, and I have tons and tons of games on Steam (many that I haven’t gotten around to trying yet), but I also have a PS4 and Nintendo Switch. Games of note that I have played a decent bit are Zelda Breath of the Wild, Fallout 4, Skyrim, Darkest Dungeon, Smash, Saints Row 3 and 4, many of the Final Fantasy games... And a heck ton more, uh.
24. WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH A MILLION DOLLARS: Pay off debts, share with family/friends, charity, invest in rich people stocks or whatever, and also live a nice-ass life. Honestly not sure if I’d quit working entirely...? I tend to get depressed if my life doesn’t have meaning like that. I have to give something back to the world. Besides, a million dollars literally lasts like under 20 years in normal circumstances...? That’s not something you retire on as a young person, unless you’re investing well...which I would need help figuring out how to do. I hate managing money.
25. FICTIONAL CHARACTER YOU HATE: Off the top of my head, probably Jane Crocker and Aranea from Homestuck.
26. FANDOM THAT YOU WERE ONCE A PART OF BUT AREN’T ANY LONGER: Trigun fandom! I still love that series...!
tagged by: @galaxythixf
tagging: You, but only if you like me, even if from afar. :3c
