something interesting i realized while on the vessel-making screen in the deltarune introduction is that it's physically impossible to make kris: there is no hair that perfectly matches theirs (none have the cowlick or the right jagged shape on the bottom), and there is no sweater that perfectly matches theirs (none have a single stripe). this is fascinating, as it perhaps suggest that, if we (the player) had a choice, we *wouldn't* make kris. they aren't something we want, or are even capable of wanting, rather something we're stuck with.

and i suppose the fact that they can't be *created* as a vessel is telling, because we didn't create kris -- they weren't made for us, they're not a player avatar. they're a pre-existing person we just happen to gain possession of.

we weren't made for each other; they don't want us, and we don't seem to want them either (if the inability to choose to create someone like them says anything); funny, then, that in a way we're "soulmates"...

MIKE WHEELER + A MEDITATION ON BOUNDARIES

"Back when I thought I was straight I would go on dates with boys. The boys would usually want to kiss me. I disliked kissing, but I thought that their preferences deserved to count as much as mine, and I reasoned that they probably liked kissing more than I disliked kissing. So kissing was a morally good thing to do. I also reasoned that if I told them I disliked the kissing then they’d feel guilty and enjoy it less. So I did not tell them.  I am certain I was making some kind of critical error but it has taken me a long time to figure out what it might be." (x)

listen guys I love Peri a lot too, I think there's a lot about his character worth studying and that he's a good guy but you all have GOT to stop blaming Dev here when Peri is arguably more at fault!

Sure, Dev was mean to him, but Peri was mean back! And Peri is an adult while Dev is a ten year old child, Peri should have the capacity to not complain about him directly to his face, especially considering Dev has been emotionally abused all his life.

Ultimately, I don't consider it to be either of their faults. Sure, Peri was bad at this, but he straight up didn't have any experience except for Timmy, where he took up the role of a brother instead of a parent, a VERY different dynamic. Peri should've gotten like at least 3 different godkids before someone like Dev, to give him a feel for how different kids can be, and how you need to deal with different situations in their own ways. And that's just the lowest I'd advise going, he should've definitely had more.

So I blame the system for throwing him to the wolves fresh out of schooling, especially considering, iirc, Fairy Academy is canonically pretty terrible, as it's more like a military academy than an actual school. He had no proper experience, no way of knowing how to help a kid that doesn't seem to want to be helped...

But if you're going to blame anyone, blame Peri. Not the child that he was supposed to help, the child that he failed.

Mind you, 10 year olds literally don't even have fully developed minds yet, of course his sense of morality is a bit twisted. His brain isn't fully grown!

Clone cadet OCs: Skimp and Corre

Brothers who developed a bond when Skimp, a cadet who’d often zone out during instructional courses, was assigned the usually dreaded task of watching over the youngest age group (2 standard) of cadets. Corre was notorious for being the fastest runner among his peers, making his little getaways a point of contention with his caretakers.

Skimp was the one elder brother who went “you know what? Same.” and would help Corre sneak off. They would spend time in an unused storage closet on a stolen datapad, and Skimp would teach Corre combat moves for fun even though he’s considered too young to learn.

After the events of Order 66, they were evacuated off Kamino along with the other cadets before it was destroyed by Vice Admiral Rampart, and taken to a non-disclosed location. Learning that their training was not actually going to continue and they were in danger, Skimp took Corre and managed to escape from the “training facility” with a stolen ship.

Now on their own and without the reliable support system they once had, Skimp and Corre must learn to fend for themselves in a galaxy that has suddenly become more hostile.

it’s hilarious to me that absolutely no one knows what the gods or high-profile monsters look like in the modern world. they have to suss it out. a guy on a motorcycle offers them help and annabeth only figures out he’s ares because he sings the praises of war and calls himself their cousin. to which he says “you must be athena’s kid,” implying that only smart people can figure out who he is. scraggly guy walks out from the mechanic room in the thrill ride o’ love and annabeth only figures out he’s hepheastus when he says “i built this.” the furies who? medusa who? echidna who? can someone please make a photographic manual already

I’ve been seeing stuff that implies Luke is better in the PJO series because the gods abandon their kids and he’s sick of it.

That’s in the books too! That was his motive! Luke’s point as a character is to draw attention to the fact that the Greek gods are actually pretty awful. Riordan is commenting on myth through Luke. The series rests on themes of myth and one is that the gods are jealous, vengeful, and a hazard to people in dozens of stories. He’s a villain because of his methods, but he brings up both the PJO in-universe wrongs of the gods and the classical ones (when he explains the bear twins). I get the show provided a better example with Athena being painted so poorly. But Luke’s point is exactly the same and is heavily backed in mythology itself. He’s a really good villain concept. And I like that he’s bad not because he’s wrong but because he’s willing to stomp on his friends and innocents.

Ask Box is open again! However I am a little busy over the next couple of days so slots for asks are very very very small lmao. So don't be surprised if you find that the ask box is already closed again when you find this post. But don't be afraid to ask any questions if you want! The Mayor is very emotionally vulnerable right now so make the most of it

Does Al ever struggle with his weight / has he ever?

do u mean like, Self Worth wise or actual physical fluctuation wise? if the latter I do like drawing him at firm strongman peak since he's a farmhand but sometimes he isn't actively maintaining muscle so he's saggier (<- most of recent art of him) ....

as for the former I've never wanted to stray in that direction for fat characters, and any issues he has wrt self image (slim as he know's he's endearing and handsome) are more about how his overall size (big and tall) might be perceived as dangerous or a threat due to some formative and isolating events in his childhood, and less about it being focused on weight specifically ykwim. because otherwise he has no issues there ^_^
