anything I write/draw that's remotely spicy always comes back to this vibe

other people: and then they smashed like beasts

me: they did that but also they made breakfast together in the morning

I think…after I finish this round of commissions I will close them for a bit. Maybe a month. I had planned to do another batch after, because I hate saying no to people, but I need a break.

My personal wips are calling out to me and I have no time in my day or creative energy to give them attention 🥲 I have some more comic ideas and Morgan stories in my head I want to get done.

anyways I just want to say if you're a trans woman suffering from erectile dysfunction 1) talk to your doctor about it cuz plenty of trans women have some viagra type of thing they use 2) get a strap, like legit some of the most fun I've ever had in sex has been topping with a strap, it's a different experience but it's great 3) if topping doesn't actually matter to you, then don't even worry about it, there are tons of toys to use, or go ham on oral or fingers there's a million ways to have sex allow yourself a chance to experiment and adapt 4) most of all don't let anyone make you feel like shit cuz of your body.

Double-Edged (?)

I got distracted by this while I was thinking about something else, but-

When you look the shapes Paracelsus takes in Strive when A.B.A's Jealous Rage is active, obviously it seems like the "blade" part of his body is reverting to a more ax-like shape and all:

(there's a lot to talk bout here, but for now let me just focus on the thing that distracted me)

What caught my interest is that when you look at the blade part, it definitely looks like there was half of it broken off, like it's supposed to actually be a symmetrical, double-bladed battle ax:

Now, since Paracelsus' shape is constantly changing, obviously this might not be representative of any physical damage that literally happened, and could instead be a symbolic representation of something, but

I kinda like the idea now that Flament Nagel started out as a double-bladed ax, and half of it was broken off at some point over the course of his history, like maybe all the way back when he was still an actual lifeless ax, or maybe as late as during his first battle with Slayer?

I dunno, that's just one possibility, of course.

Just kinda continuing from that train of thought while I'm at it, I'm sure a lot of folks already know that "Moroha", (the name of the berserk state that A.B.A and Paracelsus would enter in the past games,) actually translates to "double-edged".

When Testament says this during A.B.A's Strive arcade mode, they actually use that same "moroha" wording in Japanese, making a fun little reference to the mechanic:

Obviously that name, "double-edged" is also like, alluding to the "high risk, high reward" nature of the mode back in the day, since the resources to use it were limited, and it actually drained A.B.A's HP (which could only be replenished if you knew how to play it well)-

but with what I talked about above in mind, it's also kinda interesting to think about how that name is applied to fighting with an ax that's actually single-bladed.

This is now going into full "just my own thoughts" territory, but looking at it from this additional angle, I kinda like to think that, metaphorically, it's like A.B.A herself is now the second blade, so to speak-

Both in the sense that she provides an extra means of attack and defense, and has a certain restoring/healing influence on Paracelsus, but also in the sense that she introduces another risky, potentially self-destructive element to the balance again.

My theory is that Long Furby is a manifestation of the Gnostic god of material reality the Demiurge (Yaldabaoth) appearing in the collective unconscious as proposed by Carl Jung. In this essay I will-

I can't get over how Rosies and Lancers give the Little Sister that they retrieve a small like, assuring or freshening-up sort of gesture.

It's so cute and endearing on their part. Its precious. Such a small detail, but sticks out to me.

Then there's the Rumbler:

Two extra boops. It's like he's making sure she looks presentable and comfortable on her first day of school when they're just heading off to drain blood from corpses. I love this game and I love these dads so much-

Well deekideke’s fanfic script has given,,, so much. As a recap of what I personally got from it (A very devildice focused perspective):

King Dice drinks

This isn’t the first time Devil had Stickler walk Dice home

Based on the way Devil says it, he’s probably tucked Dice into bed, cradled his head, and told Dice he’s his #1 until Dice fell asleep before (please I need a short fluff fic of this immediately)

King Dice had to wear a flower gown

There’s a joke that he should be called Queen Dice

His gown is ripped into a fucking bikini and then he just “decides to own it and strikes a pose.”

Devil loves the chaos and was probably about to confess feelings before being interrupted

oh yeah devil is also in a wedding gown

they genuinely just flirt with each other

THEN they both sing “Endless Love” WHILE BEING DESCRIBED AS “It’s a romantic dance sequence for the length of the entire song”

AND THEN they almost kiss before… eugh Stickler.

but uh yeah that was a lot /pos

I’m almost 100% certain that Deekideke had/has ideas for other eps that would develop their relationship a bit more and come before this ep

either way, they’re gay+queer as hell <3

If you're a writer of any sort, I think your story needs to pass the Unhinged Powerpoint test.

If neither you nor a reader can make an Unhinged Powerpoint about it - the characters, the lore, the whole thing, whatever - you must re-evaluate it in some way.

The Unhinged Powerpoint is the sign of a story that is affecting people. Because they stayed up until 4 AM writing half-baked thoughts in comic sans about something. And that's worth everything.

Also more fnaf movie ranting, spoilers again. I saw this in theaters and let me tell you, the absolute joy I felt at the audience reacting to Easter eggs n stuff. Matpat showing up? The entire theater lost it. The living tombstone playing? At least three people started singing along and I heard so many people get excited. This was like the perfect theater experience for me

Also I didn’t hear anyone react to this but at the beginning there’s a brief flash of a piece of glass with “it’s me” written in the dust and I just love that. Although I will say I miss Cassidy bring back my horrible daughter
