dawg my body is so ready for seeing your human versions of the gang. like the need to draw these sillies is JUST TOO DAMN GREAT--(please don't take this as "OMG HURRY UP", i'm just very excited to see your interpretations!)

well shit now i gotta buckle down on brushing up + improving upon my human scribbling skills, which - meager to begin with - have deteriorated due to Puppet Disease (and i say this with playful exasperation. i've been needing an excuse to Practice and this is a damn good one)

though i will say! i'll be adhering to the ~canon~ human versions we've been gifted via Clown's pokemon au. ofc since we don't know what Howdy, Poppy, Sally, and Eddie look like, i'll have to think of something myself

you ever see a callout post for a user you've never heard of, and so many of the listed issues consist of the most sensationalized 'ok, yes... and-?' bullet points so you just keep scrolling like

Reasons why Scaramouche is Just Like Me FR

He wasn't taught/never learned to deal with anger and despair in healthy ways, leading to him perceiving things like his friend's death as "betrayal"

Abandonment issues (abandoned by our parents gang gang)

He wants to prove that he's not a puppet to be discarded, that he's worth so much more

He has a deep seated need for validation

i met someone at this pride event that happened in town (first time this has happened) and like honestly i really really wanna get involved w what she was doing, my mom like introduced us since apparently at the opening thing my dad was talking about me coming out(again. smallish town pride event and my parents are fairly active) and like yeah !!  she’s an older trans woman (though it was really fucking funny  she said i was ‘older’ in regard to like time being out) and president of this group that’s like, she was explaining it as a panel that goes to different schools, colleges, etc. around the state and it’s just like, queer people and allies talking about their experiences and she like invited me to join and like, i put my email and stuff so i think i’m just gonna need to wait to hear back from her???  honestly i think the wait is the worst part like i’m sososo excited to potentially do this, i’ve only talked on a panel at the true colors conference once though that was kind of a pathetic occasion because uhh. NOBODY came even though they were invited but i think even just being able to like sit with other like queer people, teachers, administrators, family members, etc. and just like talk was great so like i really feel like this is something i want to do and also i could probably use the public speaking experience lmao but yeahh

watched the new john mulaney special and honestly it made me very happy. a lot of it is like deeply worrying shit ofc but i think its rlly clear that hes comfortable by how ridiculous it was and glad to be in a better place so thats nice. very much the same comedy and im glad for it bc hes earnestly rlly funny and i still enjoy it. i think society would improve more if we stopped paying attention to twitter,

[cryptotheism]

Is it a ‘religion a good and vital part of the Human Condition but on gods the actions people take with theism as a cause can be heedlessly horrifying’ kinda deal for the antitheism

Ehhhh I take issue with the idea that religion is somehow inherent to the human experience. Plenty of folks are born atheist and die atheist after a lovely and fulfilling life.

Like, I don't think religion is good or bad, it's just one of the many possible gears in human culture. Sure it's often used to justify oppressive power structures, but so is like, the printing press. Painting religion as a unique evil seems just as reductive as painting it as a unique good.

It's the Belief that troubles me. At a certain point it just feels like lying to people. At a certain point you just have to accept that no, the earth is not 6000 years old. But that doesn't mean you gotta stop going to church yk? Hanging out with your neighbors to sing old songs can be fun. Nothing wrong with that.

[daemon-in-my-head]

You know, really playing the intro and thinking about some of the stuff Durge did, I truly do believe they weren't that "feral" or smth... It kinda reads more like they were scared of Bhaal, of failure, of what would happen if they couldn't live up to being the perfect Bhaalspawn.

It might just be my bias and all, but flaying oneself, literally begging for forgiveness for something as human as having feelings, the inherent wish for even their own obliteration, idk man. Doesn't sound like a feral madman but more like someone incredibly fucking scared who really does not want to be where they are. And I mean rightfully so, their father introduced himself by making them slaughter their family. Considering the whole Bhaalists think death is a mercy bit, Durge just really doesn't sound so vile yk. And while cannibalism sounds like a fun bit, the circumstances that would drive someone to do that kinda aren't, also the implication that there aren't more "homemade" Bhaalspawn because Durge failed at that + the whole fun with corpses thing? Reads more like that was rather involuntary and not the desirable outcome.

Once again, might just be my bias and love for tragedy, but if anything Durge sounds like a poor tortured soul to me, rather than the edgelord who did shit for funsies. I mean, for goodness sake, they considered Gortash, someone who grew up being abused by everyone and everything, their equal. An ally. Someone genius who understood them. As much as I love cocky sorcerer Durge, it does kinda appear like a well crafted mask to push away the unsettling truth beneath. To me at least.

Hiiiii~! Can I kindly ask for some reverse comfort for Pomni, Ragatha and Gangle with an s/o who is a magician of sorts. S/o is always doing little tricks and such to keep them entertained and/or amused, they are always helping with something if they want. Like helping Gangle fix her mask or whisk away the centipedes Jax left in Ragatha’s room. And overall just provide a sense of comfort for them.

Pomni, Ragatha, and Gangle x a caring!magician!reader !

i really needed to write this because i really popped off with the character anguish in the last post i dont know what happened to me but i need to write something fluffy otherwise im going to implode i love writing about grief and the inherent weakness of man but god damn!!! also i hope you guys like the new format im trying out; i think i might switch between this format and bullet points since sometimes i just need to yap my trap but other times i need the structure that bullet points give me yk

POMNI:

while pomni is not a clown, i like to think you two try to magic tricks... i think, depending on how long pomni has been in the digital world, they would indulge in you... besides, spending time with you is always nice.. you teach her the ropes of the digital world as well, mostly things that ragatha missed and the like. you always lend a ear when pomni stresses over needing to find an exit. even if you arent actively trying to escape or if you have already accepted your current predicament, you still offer your support. its sweet, really. hold the jester, its why you were given hands

RAGATHA:

i know ive used this idea before, and you said it in your ask but i love the idea of someone/the reader helping ragatha check her room for bugs!! imagine making a show of the entire thing with your silly magician abilities to try to ease the tension out of ragatha; who is obviously scared about the fact that theres centipedes in her room. as a side thing imagine putting her hair back behind her ear... or rather, making the motion... im not sure if ragatha would have ears or not but... imagine doing the motion and pulling a flower out of thin air for her. i think that would be sweet and cute. ragatha takes the flower, rosy cheeked and all flustered and and and !!!

GANGLE:

when you came to gangle and gave her a repaired comedy mask she was over the moon! you had even added some extra flair for it so its more personalized for her.. she never lets you hear the end of how happy she is! though, i feel she would be more heartbroken than before if it were to break... but not to worry! you just turn this into a night between the two of you where you mend the mask together! kinda dry on gangle ideas for this one, my apolocheese </3

Hi!!

I would like to request a Wanderer x reader fic please!! Where reader is someone who trusts people way too easily :0

Im just kinda curious on how that will go- Since yk- Wanderer's past experiences TwT

I hope this request is fine!! If it isnt, you can ignore this!!

Either way, i hope you have a great day/night! :D

୨୧ trust

ft. wanderer x gn!reader

cw: fluff, reader is kind but naive, not proofread

>> 🍁 kazuha’s musings : i love this concept!!! i can imagine wanderer seeing a lot of himself in the reader and being very harsh on them just bcus he doesn't want his partner to go through the same life he did. i kinda relate positive + easily trusting ppl together?? i hope that makes sense to anyone besides me so that's what i went for

Wanderer's always took note of your light-hearted attitude, your caring nature providing a strange... comfort to his mind and soul. Keep in mind, it was difficult to get to this point, the Wanderer's gone through such turmoil that it seems he had desperately tried to pretend like he didn't have a heart at all. But it seems that you brought him inklings of that old feeling long ago when you crossed paths.

He couldn't help the grimace on his face, seeing you smile through practically any situation and looking out for anyone and everyone you met, even if you had no personal interest to help them. It was shocking, Wanderer saw the world as cruel and unforgiving, and the only way you could survive was to give into the inherent darkness of humanity. He tried to justify it in his mind, that he isn't human, to begin with, just another heartless puppet controlled by the strings of fate--and his fate was to forever wander with no true identity.

At first, he hated you for this, he hated that you always looked on the bright side, hated that you could be so blissfully unaware yet ever-so alluring and enchanting in his eyes--something that once Wanderer had he could never let go, no matter how much he despised it. He hates you, but is that how he really feels, or is it the trauma of his past blinding him from the true wisdom of love and beauty you held under your surface? It was short-sighted of him, to reject you so instantaneously, yet no matter how cold and cruel he was--you had seen right past him as if he were glass.

No, you were different, not yet subjected to that reality and living in blissful ignorance, going as far as to fall in love with him--a puppet designed to be nothing more than a prototype. You reminded Wanderer of him, the persona of Kunikuzushi, a bright-eyed boy travelling Inazuma. You and Kunikuzushi would have gotten along well, he thinks, both so wonderfully living in a gentle dream where the sun always shone brightly. Wanderer tries to forget, but he still remembers that sensation, something that bubbled in clear waters and reflected colour and light, so soft and airy that it felt nearly suffocating at times. That feeling only grew stronger the longer he knew you, traces of even a smile on Wanderer's lips when navy eyes met yours.

He's smitten, fallen and can't shake you off his mind. It's scary, so long since Wanderer's felt this way. He wants to prove his use to you, to know that he's no longer the sensitive boy that was Kunikuzushi, but Wanderer--a blank slate that's carried the memories of many and uses them to become whoever Teyvat needs him to be. And to the Wanderer, he's your omnipotent god but also, your protector.

You're the only one he trusts, but you seem so willing to give it to others like it's nothing. Trust is foreign and such a beautifully fragile thing to Wanderer, and he's not scared to put any lowly human in place if they decide to take advantage of your ever-lasting kindness.

It's almost humorous, the Wanderer prides himself on being the near equivalent of a celestial being yet practically worshipping the ground you walk on, never taking every second of love and care you offer him for granted. He can instantly call someone out if they're being dishonest, the Wanderer protectively drawing himself nearer to you as he watches your eyes sparkle or saddens with empathy listening to a fool's tale.

He can see the person's facade crack under the pressure of Wanderer's harsh glare, he's already mastered the art and then some. Before you can open your mouth to happily agree to whatever master plan is brewing in their mind, Wanderer's already begun speaking with that bored and sarcastic tone like he's silently telling the individual that he's wasting his precious time with you.

Wanderer's almost grinning by the end of it, flawlessly breaking down every lie until the jig was up--watching them try to double-down before finally accepting utter defeat. When he turns to look at you, his smile falters slightly seeing your expression mixed with surprise but also... empathy, even still that this person was attempting to toy with your feelings.

"Why do you look so upset? He was just trying to swindle your mora."

"There must be a reason why... maybe he's in a tough spot right now and this was the only way he could get mora!" is what you say, he quirks an eyebrow before sighing, shooing his hand dismissively at you.

"Fine, if you want to give him some, but don't say I didn't warn you."

A small part of him feels his heart flutter when he sees your eyes light up at him in awe, letting you fish out a small bag of mora and greeting the now dejected man. Wanderer's eyeing you two intensely, carefully watching the swindler's face for any signs of malice... but he doesn't see it this time, genuine tears forming glossy in that man's eyes before bowing and thanking you profusely. Wanderer couldn't make out the exact words you exchanged, but he could tell at least that the person was acting truthfully now.

You sent off the man with a smile before turning your head to Wanderer, smiling cheekily at him that made his eyes widen and heart skips a beat--it's that feeling again. He scoffs, ushering you to keep up with him as he's already setting off again. That smile you always carry when you're with him is intoxicating, contagious enough that unexpectedly, Wanderer finds himself smiling with you, too, not something faked to gain something, it's real.

Perhaps, maybe he could get used to this feeling from long ago once more, with you.

trust doesn't even look like a real word anymore

When it comes to the Arin and Sora Oni and Dragon imagery I think of it more as representing the next generation of the balance, and Arin's villain arc being tied to his Oni imagery not because Oni are inherently evil, but because Sora, the "Dragon" in this scenario, has firmly placed herself on the side of good. I think in some way destiny needs one of them to go evil in order to maintain that balance, and due to circumstances Arin has found himself in the perfect situation to do that.

This makes sense in my head but I'm kinda high rn so idk if I'm explaining it properly.

oooh, that actually makes sense tbh!

them representing the next generation of the balance is something I'm actually obsessed with, but I've just seen people think that once they saw the oni imagery in arin, they immediately tied it w/ him being evil. while sora, the 'dragon', could've easily placed herself in that situation aswell. but she, like you said, has already earned her spot on the good side

the idea of the balance just being in a continuous cycle is really cool tbh I'm a sucker for stuff like that, but I'm just hoping if corruption arc arin actually becomes true it's not all focused on imagery because there's so much going on for his character that can be explored yk? it's pretty intriguing tho and I'm excited to see how it goes!

[cecilnightvalepalmer]

I follow a lot of people with a ton of various opinions on certain discourse and yk, it kinda fucks me up sometimes, cause I see a take on discourse that I inherently agree with, and then a moot comes in with a take I think is really bad, and then another moot comes in with a really good take reblogging the bad take and i just

Man I feel like I'm a kid in the middle of my parents arguing and at this point please just get a divorce /silly

WHY AUGUSTUS IS JONAH MAGNUS

(‼️SPOILERS FOR TMAGP4‼️)

we have now heard augustus talk but who is he you may be asking?? peter lucas??? i hear you say- jürgen lietner??? i hear you plea??

NO!! YOU FOOL!! its our favorite grandpop mr. magnus

BUT- i hear you saying- that was in no way our sweet boy ben meredith- so how is this possible?? I’LL TELL YOU HOW!!

IF hypothetically mr. magnus were to be yoinked into a windows 95- why the fuck would elias go with him??? elias, my dear, has been dead for many many years- jonah was only using his body as a vessel INCLUDING HIS VOICE! SO when mr. chesticles(jon) ‘💀ed’ elias- he also ‘💀ed’ jonah

but that whole death thing has been disproved by the fact that jon is now in a windows 95 so 🧍‍♂️whose to say magnus couldn’t do the same thing???

BUT THAT DOESNT INCLUDE ELIAS

ELIAS WAS JUST JONAHS VOICE AT THE TIME so it wouldn’t make sense for sweet sweet ben to voice jonah OUTSIDE of elias

AND THATS NOT EVEN CONSIDERING MY EVIDENCE!

throughout the whole episode augustus talks about an evil violin and a nephew and how he’s gonna ‘pass down’ this violin to said nephew- originally this violin starts as a hobby, but eventually it starts slowly 💀ing augustus BUT it’s the source of his power

YK WHO THAT KINDA SOUND LIKE?? JONAH MAGNUS AND THE INSTITUTE/ARCHIVES

but then there is the nephew- who tf is the nephew meant to be??. at the end of the letter augustus says “feed my violin, nephew” HES PASSING THE ‘VIOLIN’ DOWN TO HIS NEPHEW.

YK WHO THAT KINDA SOUNDS LIKE??? JONAH MAGNUS PASSING DOWN THE POWER OF THE EYE DOWN TO JON. INHERENTLY “FEEDING” HIS INSTITUTE

the nephew is a metaphor for jon

and i hear you saying- but fishy, yes maybe it’s a reference to jonah and jon, but that doesn’t necessarily make augustus jonah!!

and to that i say! YOU CLEARLY HAVE NOT LISTENED TO EPISODE 3! norris(martin) was the voice for that statement and it was all about grieving over a lover that the statement giver presumably 💀ed himself

HEY THAT SOUNDS PRETTY SIMILAR TO HIS OWN EXPERIENCES HUH

so why wouldn’t it apply to the other voices too?

final point: im right
