#paraphrased most of these but yea

[wordholic]

nothing on my mind except “i promised no more poetry / you are still the first person i want to share new things with” and “throw myself mouth open into the ocean for the chance to drown somewhere you can see it” and “i am afraid i’ll love you forever and we will never be in the same room again” and “love i realized is something your spine memorizes” and “it doesn’t always have to hurt but it always hurts me” and “i promise i will try to stay on my side of the couch” and “i wish i never figured it out that i love you it’s only been a torment” and “i just can’t say it out loud” and “i swear three blocks away they can smell the smoke”

[p0rk-guts]

waitt but what's different about your ocified velvette... i like her a little but find myself wanting more substance from her in canon tbh

TEEHEE WHAT A GOOD QUESTION I TOTALLY DIDN'T SET PPL UP TO ASK ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay sew me and @ajistorpid were talking and they inspired a good chunk of my ideas so you can blame them for feeding my sick delusions.

Read more just like last time bc I talk too much sorry but there's art in there too oooo you should look u should read my ramblings

As far as I know, Velvette has no canon age at death, cause of death, or death date so based on what we know we just crafted our own headcanons. AJ proposed she might've had parents who ran one of those family vlog channels with her as the face of it, becoming a child influencer under her parents' control. I was thinking she could've been a child model- yk like. dance moms or something. Idk I don't remember what was happening on that show— anyways. Yea

Either way she grew up constantly controled and perfection was her standard. All of her outside thoughts and feelings and interests and opinions were constantly dismissed in favor of what made her more marketable. She never did get that popular in life tho, and her mentors always shamed and blamed her for it.

Idk if this is canon or not, but the idea of the sinners designs reflecting their vices or things they regreted or hated in life is an untapped gold mine to me so that could explain where Velvette's supposed doll and clown themes come from. Became a toy dressed up and paraded around for the entertainment of others + joke never taken seriously. She'd hate that

(As for how that ties into my redesign…. me and AJ were thinking she could be a vampire doll, but I'm not sure IDK I wanna sketch that out and see what it's giving)

In hell she easilly fell back into this warped facsimile of her old life bc it was all she knew. "she feels some form of pseudo control and enjoyment because she has no one pulling her strings now" (<-AJ) SHE'S running things!!! Who's the puppet now!!!!!!

Then THAT had me thinking too because now that I think about it. Why Is she the backbone of the V's?? She's like. An undergrad student in my mind at the MOST and Vox and Val are two men pushing 40 I'm sure. I think a big part of it is the fact that those two are almost complete and utter buffoons who let their emotions cloud their actions constantly, Valentino most obviously but even tho Vox seems more composed like when he's talking Val down from his outburst and when he was talking to the press, we can still see he's a total mess—especially where Alastor is concerned. He lost it so bad during their duet HE SHORTED PENTAGRAM CITY'S POWER.

Now out of all the V's we've seen the least of Velvette (I'd call it what it is but yall gon get real mad at me), The most we really got out of her character was the overlord meeting (and despite her huge ego and unruly behavior she did end up speaking facts), so maybe she Is just as unstable as them in canon but canon is SHIT and this isn't about canon anymore. In my mind she's very much in charge of the back end of their work. Vox is obviously the head of the operation—or at least he seems like it to me—what with the tech company having his name and with him answering the interviews, but I think that's all he is. The figure head. Velvette is the brain behind it all. When Vox proposes new buisness endeavors off the cuff she's the one who goes back and makes sure they're getting handled properly because he doesn't really dig into the backend of how things happen. Vox goes to most of the conferences or whatever (Vel's too busy running her shows and serving cunt after all) but Vel follows up on what was learned.

(also yeah all that makes this very much an au of an au bc it'd take a lot of radical changes for the two of them to be friends I think. It's fun to imagine anyway)

Quoting AJ here bc I'm bad at paraphrasing and they said it well:

"And if we're going to make her sympathetic, (obviously not excusing her enabling a rapist) Val and Vox are grown ass men and she never got to experience the world outside a camera

Velvette is easily malleable with no real relationships!! Some victims tend to gravitate towards people who are similar to their abusers the only exception is that she feels like she has control this time"

THIS this. THIS! Okay uhh vague personal experience w/ abuse cw ig. skip this paragraph if you don't wanna hear it. But It kinda reminds me of my relationship with my parents- NOT THAT I SEE THEM AS TWO DADS AND A DAUGHTER I DO NOT BELIEVE IN THAT NOTION IN A POST PILOT WORLD If future content proves me wrong it proves me wrong but at this moment they're all equals in my mind (…and I hc them as poly BUT WE'LL GET THERE) but In my situation it's like. I hate my parents for the abuse they've caused me, my mom more than my dad bc she's satan incarnate, but there are still things I like about my dad and. Tolerate. About my mother. We still can talk cordialy and spend time together, have fun together even, and I show affection to them, but deep down I know I wanna cut my mom off later and maybe my dad too depending. Additionally my mom is completely Incompatent and pulls none of her weight so despite it all I've been forced to pick up the slack and become half the brains of this family. I do chores she should take care of. Handle money. Make important decisions about our health and safety she doesn't care about.

AAAny ways. This is so my version of Velvette. No I'm not projecting (I am). She pulls a big chunk of the weight around there (some of it being carried by Vox and virtually none by Val). She's very close with the two of them but isn't a fan of everything they do (Cares more for Vox than Val in my mind). Speaking of, she definitely isn't some saint now, she still makes the love potions and is Impassive to both Val and Vox's behavior, but part of that Is her just seeing it as part of the business. Shady practices and exploitation are par for the course in any business to her. She never truly grew out of the harmful mindsets ingrained into her by whoever her enabling caretakers were in life and they're still apparent in hell. (Maybe she even experienced some of the darker sides of exploitation in life but was groomed into thinking it was okay contributing to why she doesn't see Valentino's actions as heinous. Idk. thinking on it)

Circling back to my poly V's idea. Idk it just seems plausible to me. Vox and Val already have their whole thing going on, they all live together, and they all have nicknames for each other (Vox calling her my dear, Val calling her baby doll, Vel calling Vox darling). Ik that could just be their personalities and the pet names don't have to mean anything more but this is MY au and my word is gospel hope this helps. It just makes sense

I could go on and ON about the toxic insanity of the Poly V's in my mind— particularly between Vox and Valentino— but this is NOT their post so maybe next time. As for Velvette, I get the vibe that she'd be intimate with both of them and enjoy it but she's never the one to initiate anything. Sometimes they're all like this 🤞🏾 and others the boys are a complete turn off to her (main example being the difference in her attitude towards Vox in episode 3 vs episode 8). Her tolerance of them flips on a dime depending on how they're acting. She also prefers to be a casually entertained observer to VoxVal more often then not (ex. end of episode 8 imo)

Boys aside. My Velvette is still a social media influencer and she's all about advertising. advertising products (like the love potion), clothing looks, technology... Heck even herself. "You're nobody if you don't wear this or use this or look like this ^ - ^". Projecting on her even further by making her have a love/hate relationship with her profession aka the modeling aspect of it: she's always had a genuine love for fashion and dressing up but the internal pressure for perfection she's placed on herself makes it hard for her. She's very hard on her models and designers bc of this

Couldn't think of a segway for this but also WHAT HAPPENED TO VELVETTE WANTING TO FIGHT THE ANGELS??? The "full assault plan" against the angels??? And then when the fight actually came they were all just lounging around watching it go down like it was afternoon tv????? This isn't even a "we'll get to it in season 2" thing did they honest to god forget? Did that line not mean anything??

Well I didn't forget and it's pissed me off since my first rewatch of that meeting scene. Don't think we don't know how the V's got the angel head, but In my head Velvette was the one who initially proposed the idea for an assault against heaven and her insatiable need to feel respected and feared only spurred this plan on, incredible risk be damned.

It also felt weird to me that Velvette just. Let it go when Carmilla said the meeting was over. Just. "Oh ok! Plan cancelled no more attacking heaven ^ - ^ I'm gonna go scroll for the rest of the show!" Hu h. My au-ified Velvette would definitely fight her on it— if she thought killing angels would change the game and Carmilla held the secrets behind it she would pry! Blow up at her about it until she wasn't getting results and bitterly storming off with as much composure as she could muster. Not wanting to team up with Carmilla but find some way to use her for all she was worth and get her way in the end, use the power and resources the V's had to actually make a plan. Would it have worked without the Morningstars? Eh. Either way I'm sure she could delude herself into thinking they were the most powerful people in hell. Ugh I don't wanna make an au rewrite of the show and I that was never my plan so idk where that'd go but. Yea

ANYWAYS anyways. wow you made it to the end somehow! Here's your treat :3

Context u didn't ask for: Some days Velvette overwhelms herself with her own impossible expectations. Nothing she creates or puts out is good enough. She gets extra anxious about her following; nothing's happened to them, but what if they see the miniscule flaw in her latest clothing that she sees? What if she's no longer perfect? (Even worse in the vamp Velvette redesign of her bc she literally feeds off their attention and admiration)

She'll snap at everyone and disapprove of every look and then hole herself away somewhere where she crashes and is just. So. Tired. But she'll be out of it the next day, ready to keep the conveyor rolling.

(cr2 rewatch update) got to the part in ep97 earlier in which tmn find out everything that essek did and how he betrayed them, worked with ludinus and ikithon etc, and it did not change how i felt about him. i feel so bad for beau and veth who are clearly the most hurt right in that moment at the idea of just letting things go. beau shakily saying that thousands are dead because of this :(( veth reminding everyone her husband was kidnapped because of this. and i very much understand where cad is coming from but he's removed from it all so.. beau and veth </3 .... but also rly like the moment of cad being vary wary about restarting a war trying to enact revenge (because yea, he's got a point) and then caleb saying to focus on doing anything that they can so no more children are ending up on the pyre, and cad saying "no more children on the pyre. i can get behind that" . (reminds me of when tmn first met him and were trying to convince him to help free everyone and he was like "well, i dont like cages" and decided right away). also my one hater moment was essek being like "im irredeemable :((((" and i was like true . only for him to continue that (paraphrasing) "if im found out ill be killed" .. hes not remorseful for the people he hurt (outside of tmn) hes just sad he got caught. he does basically say that too, that he doesnt regret what he did, just that he ruined his own friendship . girl i think there are bigger problems

[generalluxun]

Y'know what I just realize: the only times Chloe was ever "helped" was in Despair Bear, Zombizou and Malediktator. even then:

Adrien "jokes" about how she will never change once she goes back at it (+plus he's overall an enabler & a bystander spewing empty nothings like: chloe that was uncool)

Miss Bustier doesn't give Chloe any disciplinary action (also an in-show thing)

Ladybug giving her the Bee Miraculous was not the right move, even Marinette knew after Queen Wasp (not only did she finally take that action too late, she didn't confiscate the dragon miraculous even though kagami's id was revealed

Everyone else either aids her in her nonsense or stands by as she goes through w/ her nonsense, essentially enabling her whether intentional or not.

Not even Marinette, Chloé's main target gets to make the excuse of "everyone gave you chances, but you threw them away" (the same one adrien made in derision, but that's a mini complaint for later). While yes, it was likely her who suggested the party in Queen Wasp and she figured Chloé would change via baby steps, mostly she shit talks and returns Chloé's insults. Plus, none of them even believes she could change (hell, despair bear happened before malediktator where chloe admits her insecurities to ladybug. quite a gap, ain't it?)

Speaking of the above paraphrased quote, why suggest that Chloé is not worth your time when you know how she is. At the very least, Miracle Queen should have told you that she needs immediate help w/ her behavior; after all, who's to say she won't intentionally let Gabe akumatize her again? I get why Mari said this, but again, Miracle Queen, maybe drill this into her father's head, or Zoe and have them help her. Alas, Zoe could've been a potential avenue, if Marinette hadn't said that Chloé is hard to be reasoned with (i mean she is, but even the most immovable object can be moved. you just need the right people for the job). Even then, her little feel-good speech in Queen Banana was all she did.

S' yea, tl;dr, no one actually cares about Chloé getting better; Thomas can go suck a lemon :3

I always try to bug picture these discussions so people don't get hung up on Chloé specifically.

Some problems take a long time to solve.

Somee people fail a lot before they succeed.

Every abused child needs to be saved.

Denying any of these in a show is bad.

I'm reminded of how duchene was fired the following mid-season from the habs after taking them to the mothaflippin scf just that prior season.

What was the biggest most important thing martin st louis said in all his press conferences and interviews upon being hired??

These boys need to get back to having fun. Have fun playing hockey. Have fun on the ice.

Obviously, paraphrased. But yea that was it. He made suzuki smile again. He brought cole back up from Laval and made him laugh again because they had all become forlorn chimney sweep boys covered in soot riddled with despair coughing and hacking up their young depressed lungs

The oilers started this season with the same level of expectations as the habs did-- if we could do that last season we should be even better this season.

Ofc the habs actually went through some MAJOR roster changes over the summer bc of LTIR weber & price, etc, and instead had to eventually accept that they needed a full rebuild from GM down.

The oilers went in fact in the other direction this summer. Added in brown, etc. Trained together as a team (good number of em) in newmarket w davo's gary, then headed to edmonton early for captain's skates prior to preseason.

Pressure is a helluva shitpile that just keeps growing.

Yes, oilers need to get back to having fun. That will help them. But you can't just tell them to "stop feeling so much pressure. Just have fun"

Just smile. Be happy. Why can't u just be normal and have fun at the party?

My god how many times have i heard that from my family.

Cup or bust

There actually needs to be a moment of realization that they can actually no longer lose the cup. Right now they're still operating at:

Win game = win the cup

Lose game = lose the cup

There will be a game very soon where if they don't win it, that's it, they're no longer in the running for a playoff spot, not even a wildcard.

That's when the pressure will lift. It will be a point of tension break. Bliss. Their outlook will change to:

Win game = huh ok.. wheee! that was fun

Lose game = oh meh whatever. we were just fucking w the other team's playoff chances. that was fun

They will at that point actually be able to:

...get back to having fun. Have fun playing hockey. Have fun on the ice.

Now. Will the owners, president, gm wait for that point? Ofc not. Heads will roll. Someone will have to take the fall.

The oilers players are in so deep that the lose = lose the cup gets heavier and heavier around their necks like those oversized novelty hockey team logo necklaces on huge thick shiny chains, but like instead heavy as a few bricks with more being added on with each game.

Really hope for themselves as people that they've got therapy and meditation going on to help them bit by bit ease the grip on their sticks.

And let's see who gets fired/traded first because that's how the hockeymen operate. They literally all have the yips. Two of the best scorers in the world are whiffing. Whiffing. That's incredibly sad. A break of pace through a trade or a change in coaching or management is what'll do the trick, the trusty ol' sports team plan.

[teabutmakeitazure]

Wait! So I know Childe just likes to lay on reader’s bed and just watch them but i keep thinking if it were me I would lowkey get upset when anyone messes up my plushie arrangement 😭

And then I imagine once reader moves into his room 😵‍💫 like the pillow between them was one (slightly) cheeky thing but if I wake up and find my Cinnamoroll plushie on the floor I’m in my feelings all day.

Also want to add your writing is soooo good. I go back and reread your fics and feel like I have the biggest brain when I catch something. The line where you said (paraphrasing) he keeps the muzzle on and hands you the leash (?) keeps me up at night (affectionate) BECAUSE HE ACTS WEAK (er sorta?) ON PURPOSE AND LETS YOU HAVE (some) PEACE OF MIND WITH (most of) YOUR AUTONOMY ??! Yea in my head rent free

I don't have plushies so I didn't specify them because not everyone sleeps with plushies but for those who do,

yes. he punches them when you're not there. wdym they get to cuddle you and he doesn't???? sometimes he purposely doesn't smooth out their faces so you can see the after effects of the punch and when you angrily call his name and confront him when he saunters into the room, childe just gives you his best puppy eyes and goes, "well, that's what they get for hogging you."

if you find any of them on the floor, he will not confess. he'll just say something like "oh it must've fallen down when we moved in our sleep," knowing damn well he chucked it across the room in the middle of the night.

and yes!!! that's precisely what that line conveys! childe is just acting tamed. it's fun to see you think you have control over him, and it helps him catch on when you subtly try to manipulate him (like how it was mentioned in the second part that he doesn't respond to reader's subtle manipulations anymore). he knows you, and he knows what you're doing. he just lets you get away with it so that you feel comfortable <3

[somethinabouttwistedwonderland]

Hello! I saw that matchups were open and thought I'd send in a request for Twisted Wonderland.

Appearance-wise I am a 165 cm tall, average build, Bangladeshi woman (She/her but also cool with they/them). I have wavy black hair that just reaches below my shoulders and I usually dress in South Asian attire, usually salwar-kameez plus a hijab. I also wear glasses. I don't really feel comfortable going out without them 😅

My MBTI and enneagram: INTJ 5w4

Star sign: Sagittarius sun, Virgo moon and rising (I act more like a Virgo, allegedly)

Sexuality: demiromantic asexual (demisexual?)

Personality traits: Calm, collected, polite, quiet, shy (but that can easily be mistaken for being aloof or done with everyone's shit (they aren't entirely wrong about the latter) (someone told me I radiate black cat energy), not very facially expressive (I'm the most emotional emotionless person I know. I do feel things more deeply than people give me credit for), a good listener, hardworking (I often bite off more than I can chew and end up burnt out), intelligent (especially with numbers. RIP impostor syndrome + gifted kid burnout syndrome. As much as I love my major, electrical engineering is kicking my ass). I am also the oldest of three sisters, so I'm good at handling kids (I'm also expected to be the perfect daughter, so... yea). Someone also told me I'm wise, but all that wisdom came from all the books I read + watching Avatar: The Last Airbender lmao. The same person also said my presence was therapeutic (paraphrasing, of course. Also, this is alleged)

Hobbies: Making art, making jewelry, reading, writing, animating (I'm relatively new to animation. I don't know what I'm doing most of the time, but I'm still having fun), basically anything creative. I especially like to draw and paint things that radiate a sense of comfort, nostalgia, and serenity. Someone also told me that my artworks also hold a sort of innocence in the composition of the shapes, colours, and overall vibe of what I draw/paint. I also make jewelry from time to time

Likes: Classical music, lofi hip-hop, indie rpgs (Yume Nikki and Off have me in a chokehold, though not as tight as Obey Me, Court of Darkness, and Twisted Wonderland), tea, creative outlets. I also like to learn psychology

Dislikes: Cruelty, anyone who would dare to threaten my family or friends, loud noises, red meat (The texture is too much for me to handle), bright lights. I also dislike strong smelling things and being in crowded, noisy and bright environments for prolonged periods of time

What qualities do you look for in a partner? It may not look like it on the surface, but I'm a huge softie, I'd like anyone who I can feel safe talking to. They don't need to be perfect, I just need them to put effort into helping me with my emotional needs. I already do that a lot with others, so I'd like it if they turn the tables on me. I also would not tolerate it if my partner belittles me or if they're just mean or rude for no apparent reason.

My love languages include making art for them and spending quality time

How do you want to receive affection? As I stated before, I would like them to put effort into helping me with my emotional needs. I already do that a lot with others, so I'd like it if they turn the tables on me. I would also like physical touch and words of affirmation, but I can't guarantee I'll know how to react to that at first 🥲. It's gonna take some time for me to get used to it

I hope this is enough information. Thanks in advance if you choose to write this

I match you with...

KALIM AL ASIM

When you spoke about being an older sibling, it immediately reminded me of Kalim, and eventually I thought he might work!

Kalim, in all honesty, needs to work on how he handles himself around more reserved people. However, I think that the way you described your ideal partner lead me to think that Kalim was the best option.

Kalim is kind, generous, and is always looking out for the people he loves (even if he can be a tad dense at times.)

Kalim might be rather... erm... how can I say this in a polite way. stupid? Stupid in an endearing way. He'd always find time to make you happy and attend to your needs, however. He often says that teamwork is a valuable thing, and that's even truer in a relationship.

Despite often being unaware of the people around him, I think that after Jamil, Kalim is much more patient when it comes to listening to others, and is better at pulling his own weight. So, Kalim makes an effort to better make you comfortable since he knows your introverted nature can contrast with his own more extroverted one.

Kalim would always make time for you, ask your preferences for things, and generally try to make you as happy as possible. Kalim loves to have fun, and he has the most fun when he's with the people he loves, and that's you!

Receiving personally made gifts from you would make him incredibly happy, and to him they would be worth more than all of the treasures his family has.

Oftentimes, Kalim can treat you like a younger sibling moreso than a romantic partner, however, it's because he loves you and doesn't entirely get romance.

Speaking of younger siblings, he can relate to you by being an older sibling himself, and he's happy to introduce you to his many, MANY, younger brothers and sisters.

Now onto the part that made me unsure about Kalim for you. Kalim is VERY extroverted. He throws large parties and banquets quite often, and leaves Jamil to bear the weight of a lot of it. I assume that the stimuli from these events would be.. difficult to deal with for you, and Kalim would very much want you to go, however if you tell him, he'll understand how you feel (even if he's sad about it.) However, if you think of Kalim like the extrovert who adopted an introvert (you) it's much more endearing.

Kalim does anything he can to see you happy, feeling at peace when he sees you able to laugh and smile.

Thank you for requesting a matchup! Sorry if it isn't to your liking!!

Other character(s) I considered: Silver, Lilia.

[uriekukistan]

choso and/or megumi? :)

im so. i just spent so long typing this out only for the page to crash and delete everything i said. why does tumblr HATE ME anyway thank you for the ask i’ll try to remember everything i said the first time 😭

choso!!

favorite thing about them: his relationship with itadori is so cute! such a good brother! his facial expressions are so cute and silly! literally found out itadori was his brother and went “okay i’ll die for u now”

least favorite thing about them: the fact that they robbed him of his sick shoes in the anime. maybe something else will come up in the future but for now that’s it

favorite line: i got two! *in a life or death situation* can u just call me onii chan like once please please please please (paraphrasing), *facing kenjaku after finding out that they’re his dad and yuuji’s mom* “hey little bros look at this im gonna kill our parent

brOTP: gotta go w yuuji since they are in fact bros. his relationship w mahito is so silly to me tho, and i’d love to see him interact with todo!

OTP: i dont really have one. rn i think he’s too focused on his brothers to think abt that

nOTP: its not a no for me per se just that i think choso and yuki are very one sided. yuki clearly likes him but he’s too focused on yuuji rn

random headcanon: i can see him having a long skincare routine with a fluffy hairband

unpopular opinion: i think he is frequently mischaracterized in the name of fitting ppl’s sexual fantasies about him. ofc im all for having fun but i noticed it does impact broader perceptions of his character sometimes. could say this about any jjk man tho.

song i associate with them: mmmm maybe sunflower by post malone, don’t have a reason for it buy yea

favorite picture of them: have two

MEGUMIIIII

favorite thing about them: he is me i am him we are the same. realistic depiction of what it is like to be abandoned by your parental figure and then be told you’re “special” for some reason and now too much is expected of you but you never wanted this in the first place. i could raise him so well let me adopt him. I Will Take Care Of Him.

least favorite thing about them: can’t. that’s my son.

favorite line: soooo many but i think about “so start by saving me itadori” DAILY. hourly even.

brOTP: love his relationship with kugisaki. would love to see him with yuuta more for purely self indulgent reasons that are not related to my dancers au….

OTP: obviously gotta go with ITAFUSHI i could talk abt them for hours. a brain virus fr they’re everything to me.

nOTP: 🧑‍💻 megumi & sukuna, megumi & toji, megumi & gojo, megumi & mai, etc. i try not to yuck other ppls yum but uh. i couldn’t even decide which of these was worst.

random headcanon: uhhh this ones a sad one, but i think before gojo came along, he and his sister were starving (compared to other characters shown as kids he looks much bonier), so even into adulthood, he has a hard time gaining weight from the effects of childhood malnutrition and as a result, is a bit less physically strong than he could potentially be (still very strong tho)

unpopular opinion: you already know what im gonna say. most overhated character in jjk. yall need to get off his back before i get violent im so serious rn everything he does is a perfectly valid reaction to the trauma he’s been through since he was literally a toddler

song i associate with them: i got so many…recently been thinking of dreams of losing teeth by suave punk & moon i already know by mount eerie the most

favorite picture of them: soo many…unhinged megumi vs pocket sized gumi i cant pick

How do you want to receive affection? As I stated before, I would like them to put effort into helping me with my emotional needs. I already do that a lot with others, so I'd like it if they turn the tables on me. I would also like physical touch and words of affirmation, but I can't guarantee I'll know how to react to that at first 🥲. It's gonna take some time for me to get used to it

OFF FANS RISE UP!!!!!!! BRING THE FANDOM BACK!!!

== Twisted Wonderland ==>

I match you up with…

Lilia Vanrouge 

Lilia is fascinated by you. You’re so young yet so wise! Your eyes and artistic works show so much wisdom and experience and he wishes to some extent that he could be like you. 

He wants your dedication and intelligence, too. He feels like he’s made some mistakes in his lifetime, and in the darker parts of his mind, he wonders if he doesn’t deserve you. 

You’re quick to remedy that with kisses and cuddles though. 

Side note: Lilia is a little spoon. I do not make the rules. 

He’ll get lost in your passion and artwork for HOURS. Seriously, he’ll just stare at your art and get this sense of comfort that he hasn’t felt before. And he’ll get that comfort all the same with you. You’re like home to him. 

He keeps a small painting of yours on his person at all times, maybe in a locket, which helps him calm down when his emotions get the better of him. 

He’ll also just look at it and giggle and kick his feet. He is whipped. 

Lilia is absolutely someone you can feel safe talking with. He may not always understand your emotions, and he can be a bit pigheaded when he thinks he’s right, but if anyone can talk some sense into him it’s you. 

He’ll be there for you at the end of each day and the beginning of each morning, and he’ll always remind you of how deep his love for you is. You are his everything.

What the fuck was up with that bit about the black-ops team in HfJD thinking the kids were reincarnated thunder deities by the way? they didn't need that, and it doesn't come up again, so it's just another weird bit of racial politics in MV along with the whole 'noble savage' tribe Tessa's with in Ampere and then the Tuvalu stuff that probably hangs as the biggest Actually Uncomfortable Thing over the series

Honestly! The mildly racist undertones throughout the series just makes me feel icky! And that’s my least favorite part of the books. I think that’s honestly why many people say it just feels like a “ more conservative Percy Jackson”

No clue what was going on with the black-ops team thing that was weird! And I kept thinking it would be plot relevant and then it kept… not being plot relevant. Didn’t need to be there! Toss it out!

Don’t get me started on Tessa’s whole thing with the indigenous tribe. That was extremely inaccurate representation and honestly also didn’t need to be there.

I was also really bothered about Ostin’s weird Asian fetish thing? Like, thankfully they moved passed THAT in particular but, like, ew. And then he made that comment in book 7 about how (paraphrasing) “well statistically Asian people have the most similarities when it comes to eye and hair color- and I’m sitting here like “was that a necessary comment?” Because it was supposed to be about how Ostin doesn’t understand how to interact with women but- no one would say that. Like, NO ONE, would say that. And especially not to there ASIAN girlfriend! There’s obliviousness and then whatever you call that. It just felt kinda tone deaf and I was uncomfy!

I didn’t necessarily hate all the Tuvalu stuff because I think a lot of it was supposed to be showing how cruel Hatch was by invading a peaceful place and Hatch made blatantly racist remarks. But that was all for, like, showing how much he sucks. But there were times when I felt the Tuvaluians (I hope that’s the right way to spell that) became just a stereotype of “primitive native culture” and I wasn’t a fan. Yea it’s great to have native culture represented but i doubt much research went into accurately portraying there culture.

I don’t know I’m white so like, I don’t want to make statements on behalf of anyone so if I’m wrong let me know, but I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who noticed this.

ALSO! I don’t want to say that Richard is racist. I’m not in a place to say that and it’s quite possible that this is all just out of ignorance. But the story would have benefited from a sensitivity reader

Hello! I saw that matchups were open and came running right over, lol. Anyway, I would like to send in a romantic request for Obey Me. Or Twisted Wonderland. No first-years pls.

Appearance-wise I am a 165 cm tall, average build, Bangladeshi woman (She/her but also cool with they/them). I have wavy black hair that just reaches below my shoulders and I usually dress in South Asian attire, usually salwar-kameez plus a hijab. I also wear glasses. I don't really feel comfortable going out without them 😅

My MBTI and enneagram: INTJ 5w4

Star sign: Sagittarius sun, Virgo moon and rising (I act more like a Virgo, allegedly)

Sexuality: demiromantic asexual (demisexual?)

Personality traits: Calm, collected, polite, quiet, shy (but that can easily be mistaken for being aloof or done with everyone's shit (they aren't entirely wrong about the latter)) (someone told me I radiate black cat energy), not very facially expressive (I'm the most emotional emotionless person I know. I do feel things more deeply than people give me credit for), a good listener, hardworking (I often bite off more than I can chew and end up burnt out), intelligent (especially with numbers. RIP impostor syndrome + gifted kid burnout syndrome. As much as I love my major, electrical engineering is kicking my ass). I am also the oldest of three sisters, so I'm good at handling kids (I'm also expected to be the perfect daughter, so... yea). Someone also told me I'm wise, but all that wisdom came from all the books I read + watching Avatar: The Last Airbender lmao. The same person also said my presence was therapeutic (paraphrasing, of course. Also, this is alleged). Cats and dogs seem to love me also. Dogs like to come up to me and say hello, and cats just seem to feel at ease around me.

Hobbies: Making art, making jewelry, reading, writing, animating (I'm relatively new to animation. I don't know what I'm doing most of the time, but I'm still having fun), basically anything creative. I especially like to draw and paint things that radiate a sense of comfort, nostalgia, and serenity. Someone also told me that my artworks also hold a sort of innocence in the composition of the shapes, colours, and overall vibe of what I draw/paint. I also make jewelry from time to time

Likes: Classical music, lofi hip-hop, indie rpgs (Yume Nikki and Off have me in a chokehold, though not as tight as Obey Me, Court of Darkness, and Twisted Wonderland), tea, creative outlets. I also like to learn psychology

Dislikes: Cruelty, anyone who would dare to threaten my family or friends, loud noises, red meat (The texture is too much for me to handle), bright lights. I also dislike strong smelling things and being in crowded, noisy and bright environments for prolonged periods of time

What qualities do you look for in a partner? It may not look like it on the surface, but I'm a huge softie, I'd like anyone who I can feel safe talking to. They don't need to be perfect, I just need them to put effort into helping me with my emotional needs. I already do that a lot with others, so I'd like it if they turn the tables on me. I also would not tolerate it if my partner belittles me or if they're just mean or rude for no apparent reason.

My love languages include making art for them and spending quality time. Also acts of service.

My favourite characters from Obey Me are Simeon, Satan, Luke (my son 💖), Beelzebub, and Diavolo. My favourites from Twisted Wonderland are Trey, Jack, Deuce, Silver, Jamil, and Malleus.

I hope this is enough information. Thanks in advance if you choose to write this

I haven't played chapter 7 yet, so this is based off of his vignettes and events.

I feel like he'd like someone who can be patient with him, and wouldn't really care too much about how your general demeanor is. As long as underneath you're someone he can rely on, someone who can stick to their principles, you'll be someone he loves.

Conversely, he also likes protecting people. He'll be someone who'll 100% listen, and while he'll be a little bit stiff with his words and affections, he'll try his best to provide that to you, and essentially be a rock in your life.

He'll be attracted to your wisdom (which you have, doesn't matter how or where you got that wisdom)

He'd be sensitive to your needs and either remove you from any overstimulating situations, or help you deal with it to the best of his ability.

Also, animals crowd around you now. In all situations. Is this good or bad? You decide.

Overall perfect 10/10 boyfriend, a little stiff with how he acts, but straight forward with how he feels, tells you how amazing you are, and is basically a really steady presence in your life that helps you deal with all the pressures from your life

Note : As an Indian, girl SAME. I just lucked out with being the youngest, but that burnout still hits hard.

So, I finally gave in and read all the current chapters of @glitchysquidd’s Frighteningly Intriguing. Needless to say, I’ve got plenty of highlights and these doodles are only a few of ‘em.

I’m paraphrasing most of it, of course, but yea that pretty much sums up each scene for me. Really wondering if that one Polaroid is from some newspaper reporter who covered the Bite of ‘83…

Edit: Oh NO. I forgot to doodle my favorite moment! The one where Springtrap freaks out over his reflection for a sec. BRB, I’m gonna go fix that.

Edit 2: Okay, I’m finally back with the doodles.

do you ever feel like people overcompensate making caduceus a jerk when trying to pushback against him being infantilized? i do like different takes on him, but i feel like an annoying amount of people are like "he's a judgemental prick and would insult someone to their face if they do something he disapproves of" which seems even moreso out of character for him.

oh hm. . maybe? i feel like the example you gave is probably just people who straight up don't like him lol, but ye i do sometimes see people i know really do like cad talking about how much of a bitch he can be, and like .. i also do this but at least with me and my friends it's kinda jokey yknow? so i kinda read other cad enjoyers saying it as half-joking too.. like he absolutely has bitchy moments ("sleep well with your bad decisions" was so funny and rude.. like my guy you can't be doing that akjnksjnfkja.....) and absolutely crosses lines sometimes and is judgmental in ways too. most of the time its like genuinely he doesn't mean wrong by it though, is the difference, so it's a character flaw and kinda changes throughout the show as his worldview changes. like, keep in mind this guy hadn't even rly left his house before meeting tmn so he doesnt really know how to act out of very specific interactions with his family and the mourners. and i definitely don't think he'd insult someone to their face because he disapproved of something. .at post he'd like , roll his eyes and grumble abt it (unless its someone mega evil like ikithon who’s actually hurting people). . idk. there's lots of fun flaws and things to talk about (ooough the saviour complex part of his character is so fun. the lack of social skills from his weird upbringing and how that effects how he treats people as 'projects' not necessarily in a way that harms them but more so that he has a role and a purpose), but yea, people seriously posting totally not-nuanced takes abt how he's actually a shit person is just kinda boring and simplifying. .. also for sillies i will say :-3 his autistic swag of being very blunt perhaps plays a part. like my guy absolutely does not know he can't just be saying stuff to people sometimes .. tmn even comment on it and call him "blunt and abrasive and awkward" (paraphrasing but it's those words). . like cad's a weirdo and sometimes that is simply in a way that is off-putting. also its hard for u to think you're wrong about stuff when youre literally getting messages from god about the Correct things.. so, lol. . i love him he's just a silly little guy

I match anon with...

Ruggie!!🍩

Now, this may seem like an unlikely match, but hear me out.

Ruggie is known to be a caregiver back in his community. He knows how to look after his own.

It may take some time to earn his trust, as he sees kind gestures as 'favors' that he is expected to repay. Show him that the gestures are genuine, without need for compensation, and with time, he'll warm up to you... eventually.

When in a relationship, any gift or piece of art given to him would be treasured. He'd be all aloof when recieving it, but I'll bet that if you ever visit his dorm you'll find each gift displayed or in some special box.

He's a good listener, feel free to rant to him. Can't promise that he won't find the source of your troubles and 'mildly' inconvenience them though.

A fellow hardworker! Well, Ruggie's a bit of a lazy hardworker, but he'll go pretty far for some food and coin. He'll help you out, but he'll expect something in return... a scratch behind the ears, maybe?

A real sweetie once you get close.

Street-smart, and intelligent, but he'll need your wisdom and your calm, collected energy to make sure he doesn't get in too much trouble.

Other options: Trey and Malleus

zeus, god of the sky (asteroids 5731 & h42)

WE MADE IT - 50 GODS, GODDESSES, AND LEGENDS HAVE BEEN POSTED!! the celebration doesn���t end here! the next post will be up in a few hours regarding aphrodite - her sign, degree, house, and aspects in your natal chart! so definitely stay tuned for my biggest post yet to come ;)!

“when talking about such a popular god or goddess i am going to for warn paraphrasing - of course all these stories have more details and all these popular gods have stories within stories. i would love to share them all/in detail but i would need a book and a lot more time to write it. my attempt in writing these posts are to inform you on the high level story of the god’s or goddess’s life. that being said if any one of the events regaled in the post pique you interest - please let me know i don’t mind giving a more in-depth tale of any of the events mentioned.”

now for the god who has been mentioned in 10/49 of my prior posts: zeus.

Zeus is the son of the titans Cronus and Rhea. As we know, Cronus had just usurped his father, Uranus, and had received the prophecy that he would be dethroned by his child. So in turn, when each of his children was born, he devoured them. Rhea was determined to save her sixth child (Zeus) after witnessing the first five get eaten (get mothering - took five cases of cannibalism smh). Rhea brought young Zeus to her mother, Gaea, who hid him while Rhea returned to Cronus with a swaddled stone in which he promptly swallowed. Zeus had a goat named Amalthea (yes, the goat (some stories have her as a nymph) from Abundantia’s story - I am sure that there is some sort of psychological insight to gain from that lol) who he received milk from (yea... definitely some thing for Freud to examine here) while warriors were made to dance and fight one another in the cave he was hidden in to conceal Zeus's infant cries (dang talk about attachment disorders and the inspiration for the little albert experiment). When he was finally old enough, he confronted Cronus and manipulated him into drinking poison that caused his siblings to be vomited up. With his sibling, he then planned a war to take down the titans - Titanomachy. With the help of his siblings and two titans (Prometheus and Epimetheus) a strategy was born - which resulted in the Cyclopes and Hecatonchires (the hundred handed primordial) being released from the forges in Tartarus. The Greek poet Hesiod believed that the Cyclopes are the ones who forged Zeus's lightening bolt as a thanks for their freedom. With the newly freed on their side, Zeus and his campaign were able to banish the titans to Tartarus and began the new era of gods and goddesses. Hecatonchires is said to be keeping watch over the titans as his form of thanks to Zeus for freedom. Gaea was irate by the capture of her children so she had another child with Tartarus - Typhoeus - who was also easily defeated. Gaea attempted to take Zeus down with giants as well but to no avail. As we know, his marriage to Hera isn't an easy one - early on she, Poseidon, Apollo, and Athena (namely) chained Zeus in his sleep and stole his bolt. It was Thetis and Briars who helped free him and get his bolt back - when freed, he used intimidation to make every god submit to his rulership and have them swear to never challenge him again. Poseidon and Apollo were sentenced to build walls in Troy (mentioned in Apollo's post), Athena got off easy because she was Zeus's favorite, but Hera suffered the most as she was sent to the void to be suspended in the sky with anvils hanging from her ankles, forced to stare into the gaze of Chaos until she swore allegiance to Zeus again. It is thought that perhaps this occurrence was the reason why he never truly trusted Hera again (and why he had so many affairs). Some of his most famed lovers include: Io (the cow myth - that was talked about in my Juno post), Europa (gave birth to Minos, you know the king from the Minotaur myth?), Leda (Zeus turns into a swan in this one), Danae (mother of Perseus - Medusa slayer), and Semele (Dionysus's mother). IN MY OPINION Zeus in a chart represents a) where you start from snatch, b) your relationship with siblings, c) where you save your family, d) where you experience trust issues, e) where you topple those in charge, f) romantic affairs, and/or g) where you are the ultimate ruler.

i encourage you to look into the aspects of zeus along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of zeus AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede zeus!

OTHER RELATED ASTEROIDS/PLANETS: amalthea (113), athene (881), pallas (2), URANUS, poseidon (4341), hera (103), gaea (1184), rhea (577), semele (86), io (85), apollo (1862), chaos (19521), kronos (43), hepimetheus (1810), prometheus (1809), thetis (17), europa (52), leda (38), and danae (61)!
