household // 1910s caleb & lilith & lily [DOWNLOAD]

It's so much fun throwing the Vatores into random historical eras. This is what you'll get if you throw my late Edwardian Zhu-Vatore household into your game! I may have gone a bit overboard.

↓↓↓ tl;dr household download link & required cc below the cut ↓↓↓

There's absolutely gorgeous Edwardian cc out there, so I collected it for you 💖

The Edwardian era was marked by excess and conspicuous consumption. They liked big hair and big hats, and by the end of the period people had come to agree that the sexiest shape a woman can be is cylindrical.

Caleb, Lily, and Lilith really pull off the look. Neither lady is particularly cylindrical, but they look great in these dresses and absolutely rock the Gibson Girl updo and fancy hats.

I aged Lily down and changed her hair color, removed Lilith's tattoos, and gave Caleb a basic dark form, but no other changes. I tried to make them cousins? But when I loaded the household onto my laptop, they weren't cousins anymore :(

You'll need Vintage Glamour, in addition to Vampires and Werewolves. A few of Caleb's outfits and his hair are from VG and you CANNOT pair side bangs with Edwardian clothing. It's a fashion law.

In order to cut back on the amount of cc, there's less variety of hats, hair, gloves, and shoes than I'd like. I also didn't include jewelry. If people are interested, I can put together a list of supplementary cc that can be swapped in.

Please tag me @dead-lights if you use these for anything! I'd love to see my pixel buddies walking around in other people's saves.

Now buckle up, y'all. This gets long.

Extract that into your Tray folder (in the same folder as your Mods folder). You should see the household in CAS when you open your gallery.

If you're trying to replace the default in-game:

move this household into wolfsbane manor with the default vatores, then delete the defaults

use mods/cheats to make the new lily the vatores' cousin (i think mccc and ui cheats can both do it)

move custom lily in with the volkov household - use cheats/mods to copy her default relationships if you'd like - and then delete default lily. you will also need to mod/cheat lily back into the moonwood collective if you want her to keep her position. all three characters still have their occult rank and powers. she does NOT keep her special moonwood mill gossip dialogue - not sure why.

TOU

don't put my stuff behind a paywall

don't claim my stuff as your own

don't violate the TOUs of the cc makers i've included

Please let me know if there are any problems - this is my first time putting up a household and I'm only mostly sure I did it right 😅 I managed to get it to work on my laptop, so there's that.

If you're just here for the download, you're done now! If you're interested in learning more about Edwardian fashion, let me ramble at you for a bit :)

my notes

This isn't the most historically accurate set, but I'm calling it close enough - if you're interested in learning more about the era, Edwardian Promenade is a great place to start.

Edwardians had really weird, complicated rules about hat and glove wearing. For most of these outfits, people would don and remove their hats and gloves based on social context - they shouldn't be wearing gloves when they eat, for example, but should always wear gloves when they're dancing. It's hard to find consistent information about the specific rules, but I've read excerpts from the Edwardian equivalents of Miss Manners and Good Housekeeping and they are fascinating.

I found some great reference images for sportswear from Silhouettes Costumes. Caleb's athletic outfit is based on this contemporary illustration. The unfastened bottom button is a nice detail to have - it was fashionable for men to leave the last button undone, as a nod to King Edward.

The ladies have 3 sleep outfits - the first are nightgowns that they would wear to sleep, the second are corsets, with other undergarments still on underneath, and the third are chemises, which were worn under their corsets - the underest part of the underwear, essentially.

For an in-depth explanation of Edwardian lingerie, check out The Fashion Archaeologist's Blog. For information about Edwardian nighttime hair care, check out Sew Historically.

The girls are wearing lingerie dresses for their hot weather outfits - lacy dresses made with the same materials & techniques as lingerie. These were good casual afternoon dresses, and were sometimes worn without a corset. Learn more about them from The Dreamstress!

An Impromptu Ranking of Hugolian Adoptive Parental Figures

Ursus,The Man Who Laughs : I know everyone's going to want Valjean to be first place, but he's not. Ursus takes the lead not only because he's got two adopted kids, but because he does what no other dad-mom-general-adoptive-parent on the list does, and actually does the grubby hands-on work of Raising Kids. He doesn't have maids or nannies or nuns or any help; he's just a guy living in his traveling van and raising up a couple kids (who arrived at his door horribly sick and injured, even, which he manages to treat?? ) with zero support except for a literal wolf. He's honest with them and openly loving and teaches them how to survive in their own time and society. Too bad about the kids existing in a really bleak Hugo novel, but you did great, Ursus. 10/10.

Jean Valjean, Les Miserables: He loves Cosette SO much and tries SO hard! Second place only because (1) during the convent years, he sees Cosette for one hour a day , and while that limitation is definitely not his ideal choice,it does mean he's just not the constant primary caregiver the way Ursus is and (3) More Trauma means More Problems, and especially So Many Communications Issues. Plus a really really misguided faith in the importance of attaining bourgeoisdom. IDEK , man. Heroic efforts, heroic failures, 18/18 Napoleonic Antithesis Points maybe?

Lethierry, Toilers of the Sea: a decent normal guy raising his niece, who has very normal 19C Dad Faults-- too much trust in stereotyped gender roles, and too much focus on his job at the expense of his domestic life. Absolute middle of the road, not heroic as a parent but also doesn't do anything that makes me go "holy shit NO , dude" . He's just a humanly flawed but caring parental figure. 5/10 complete middle of the road

Cimourdain, Ninety-Three: Listen I LIKE Cimourdain. I respect his whole narrative arc. I think he's probably the most interesting character in the novel. But he loses Parenting Points for (1) not being the primary hands-on caregiver for large chunks of his adopted kid's life and (2) uh. the whole. the thing where he kills his adopted kid. There are circumstances yes I know but still . If you are directly responsible for the death of your kid you are going to lose points in the parenting games. That's just how it is. 4/4 with full symbolic meaning of the number.

Frollo, Notre Dame de Paris: HOLY SHIT NO, DUDE.

Semi-adopted THREE kids and TWO died horribly and he directly threatened the life of the last one. Even before then he's not a GREAT parent, largely leaving the raising of his sort-of sons up to others, locking one up in a single building, letting another fall into addiction, and the third go starving and homeless on the streets. So it's already not doin' great but arguably he's Trying?

But then he wants to bang a teenager, and decides they're all expendable. Absolute worst reason for the absolute worst parenting decisions. 8/8 you ARE the Fatalité , dude, look within and quit blaming your issues on teenagers.

Honorable Mentions: Radoub, Ninety-Three: gets the "like a mother" comparison, goes through a firefight for his adopted kids, stays sweet and cheerful and soft around the babies to the end. Gets set here because he's NOT an adoptive single parent, he's actually co-parenting with the kids' birth mom and they are delightful platonic parenting partners. We wish you, Michelle, and the kids all the best , Radoub! Good job getting out of your novel without killing anyone you love!

Gavroche, Les Miserables: OK he only manages to adopt the momes for an evening, and for an adult I'd be docking All The Points for that, but for an unparented 12 year old he is doing GREAT. He even kept looking for them afterwards! The biggest and most sincere You Tried star for you, Gavroche, it's not your fault you're all getting atomized hard enough to explode a barricade.

Dishonorable Mentions:

Gillenormand, Les Miserables : If you're gonna hold a kid as a financial hostage and destroy his dad's life because the kid's soooooo important to you, you might also try making sure that kid has any way to know that you actually give a damn about him? Maybe at least don't beat him with sticks? Legos be under your feet forever, Gillenormand!

The Slaveowner Uncle in Bug Jargal : absolutely perish

Scavengers playlist

Made this way back and have just been adding stuff as I listen to em but thought I'd share it here because why not, possibly maybe even get song recs from some of you guys ahaaa

Random thoughts and stuff about which songs are for who or why I put em there below the cut ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Alone Together by Fallout Boy - saw someone on tumblr say this song was "literally the Scavengers anthem" and they're so fucking real for that; "I don't know where you're going but do you got room for one more troubled soul" is literally them.... mann... Also that Fallout Boy album just bangs hard in general

Dare to Be Stupid by "Weird Al" Yankovic - they DO dare to be fuckin stuuuuupiiddd, i love these idiots

Dare by Stan Bush - This and Dare to be Stupid were both in the Transformers '86 movie so that's how I thought about em, aside that though I was listening to em once and just went "oh damn this is kinda them i think"

Bang Bang by K'NAAN - Shoot Shoot Bang Bang core, so much in fact that I've been wanting and still want to do a Scavs animation with this song

21 Guns by Green Day - its a lot more heavy in tone and serious compared to most of the stuff in the playlist, but I put it here cuz it sort of feels like an anthem for just the general rank and file of either faction?? like idk if that makes sense, it just kinda fit the post-war "what are we gonna do now if there's no more fighting" kinda vibe

NOT ENTIRELY ALONE by The Narcissist Cookbook - found this through someone else's Scavs playlist and while it's not a song I'd regularly listen to (it's more of a grand monologue really), I really like it and it's literally about a bunch of supposed outcasts finding each other and sticking together amidst it all

For some character centric ones I've got:

Me and The Boys by the Living Tombstone - Krok!! This one's from In Sound Mind, beautiful fuckin game, it's a lot about therapy and mental health and stuff so damn that's fitting; not only that though, but this specific soundtrack is for a character in that game that's a veteran who experienced a lot of trauma and lost all his friends in the time of the war... so yeahhh

Make A Move by Icon For Hire - love rock, it makes up most of my playlists but maybe you couldn't tell from this; anyways I just feel like it encapsulated Spinister well in vibe and it sort of being like Spin waiting for others to make a move and choosing to just blend in the background or take a back seat from what's usually happening idk how else to explain it really ahaha

need to go real quick since im typing this late so im gonna speedrun the rest lol

Cheer Up by Big Reel Fish - It's literally Crankcase, thats literally HIS song, just take a listen to it!

Bubbly by Good Kid - something about the chorus ("I never sleep, I never eat; I never leave my house alone; another evening in between what I believe and what I know") is just very Fulcrum to me, combined with the vibes

United States of Whatever & Talk Too Much - both very Misfire core to me, Talk Too Much is obvious from the title lol even if the song is about something else entirely aha and United States of Whatever is just... sillyy in a Misfire-y way yknow?

For the rest I didn't mention specifically, they're all just kinda there for vibes and I had no specific thoughts about em lolz

[sleepyconfusedpotato]

Hey sleepy! So i have a quick question, do you think a combat medic SO would be a good fit for Ghost? Im asking cuz im thinking of making an OC and i would looove to hear your opinion. It's just i think he's so versatile like that that you could create almost anyone for him so long as there's trust and understanding. What do you think? :D

Hello Anon! (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)/ First off, I really am honored that you'd ask me about how to pair an OC with Ghost. I was like WHY but I'll probably just tell you what I think about when making things happen with Ghost.

I think you can make any type of SO work with Ghost, it's just how the author could make it work with him.

Ghost is a very, VERY private man, would talk only when he needs to, and I'd imagine he would literally avoid talking to other civvies, and create as less as possible the connection with other people given his job and identity. Dude's living as quite literally 'no one'.

"As long as there's trust and understanding" -> THAT'S RIGHT! But the question is, how does your OC earn his trust? Why would he trust your OC, being the extremely private man that he is?

I feel like he's a person who wouldn't bat an eye/wouldn't care for anyone or anything -> That's why, this SO gotta have something/do something - A trait - that makes Ghost care for them ✨

In your case, a medic SO would very much make the SO care for Ghost, but making Ghost care for a medic is the part where you gotta work on.

How did the interaction start? How did they meet? What was the first impression (is it a BANG or is it just an ordinary meeting)?

What was the hook? At what point did Ghost start making an effort to get to know the SO better? What happened that made Ghost start to do that? Cuz it's EXTREMELY hard for someone to interest him, like he avoids people, it's gonna take something special -> what is it?

It is entirely up to your creativity and imagination to answer those questions!

Even further, usually a relationship/a pairing/a ship changes the character, in personality, emotionally, etc, either to the positive way, or negative way. It's a character development. Does your OC impact Ghost in positive or negative way? Your call 👀

Other than that, in order to make the story as authentic as possible, don't forget to search up what an army medic does! What does your OC do in their daily life? What differentiates them from a medic or an army surgeon? Do they go to the battlefield or stay back? What rank is your OC? These questions can make your character more believable and even help develop your stories as you pair your OC with Ghost.

So there it goes! Hope that answers it (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

G1 Climax night 1 preview

This is the opening night of New Japan's annual heavyweight singles tournament. This year's format involves twenty men, divided into two blocks of ten. Over the next month, each participant will have one match against each of the other nine men in his block. The goal is to have the best win-loss record among your block.

The top three in each block advance to a knockout stage on July 15 and 17. This is a pretty big change that I'm excited about, because it means more wrestlers will be mathematically alive much later in the block stage. Basically it'll be #2 vs. #3, for the right to face #1, to decide the block winner. Finally, on July 18, the winner of A Block meets the winner of B Block, with the winner earning a trophy, a flag, and the right to challenge the IWGP world champion on January 4, at Wrestle Kingdom in the Tokyo Dome.

A Block: Tetsuya Naito vs. Shingo Takagi - Naito regained the IWGP world title a couple of weeks ago in New York; the title is not at stake throughout the tournament. If Naito wins the G1, he'd earn the right to choose the challenger for Wrestle Kingdom, but I don't expect that to happen. On the other hand, if anyone beats Naito during the tournament, they'll likely get a title shot within the next couple of months, and I definitely see that happening.

Naito won the tournament in 2013, 2017, and 2023. Takagi's personal best is 7-2-1, which would probably be good enough to get out of the blocks this year. This is only the second time these two have met one-on-one; Naito won their last encounter.

Star power aside, the big draw here is that Naito and Shingo are members of the same faction, Los Ingobernables de Japon. I don't expect any dissension in the ranks, but they're also not going to go easy on each other. Takagi's whole style is to clobber the fuck out of dudes, which is a problem when Naito has been visibly banged up for years. The most exciting finish would be for Shingo to score a bit of an upset over his leader, the world champion. But I can't really see them running this match back in September, so I'm picking Naito to win.

B Block: Yota Tsuji vs. Konosuke Takeshita - This is Tsuji's second trip to the G1; last year he debuted with a 3-3-1 record that I found somewhat disappointing given all the hype around him. Takeshita is new to the tournament. He's been affiliated with DDT for years, and his big claim to fame is AEW, but if he's representing any group it's probably the Don Callis Family. Not counting crossover shows like Forbidden Door and All Together, I think this is his first time stepping onto New Japan's cerulean blue canvas.

I like that Tsuji is second from the top because he's one of the guys they need to elevate, and quickly. I don't know that I'd pick him to win the tournament, but I would definitely give him a a lot of key wins, and probably finish in the top three. But he's got a tough draw tonight, because this is a must-win situation for Takeshita.

I think Takeshita will probably end up in the middle of the pack, maybe finishing around 4-5. Newcomers and outsiders tend to only do so well in the G1, and he's both at once. But in light of that, New Japan knows he needs a strong start, and Tsuji is the kind of guy they can feed to someone who needs a strong start.

A Block: EVIL vs. Gabe Kidd - Evil reached the semifinals last year, mostly to tease what a debacle it would be if he won the whole thing, without actually doing it. I can't imagine they'll take it that far again this year. Kidd, the STRONG men's champion, debuted last year with a 2-4-1 record, because he's more concerned with hurting people and freaking out than figuring out how to win. That's a good character for him to play, but this tournament is about results, not tantrums, so he's probably not going to be competitive in the G1 for a couple more years.

Back in the day, whenever two Bullet Club guys faced off in a tournament, they'd do a comedy routine about how one of them is willing to lay down for the other, but then they'd have second thoughts and end up having an actual match. Nowadays, though, they don't even bother to act like collusion is possible--the War Dogs (such as Kidd) are too belligerent, and everybody in House of Torture (like Evil) is too devious. My guess is that Kidd will come out swinging, and Evil will hit a low blow (or get someone else to do it) to level the playing field. Evil should probably win here, although I don't expect him to be a major factor late in the tournament.

B Block: David Finlay vs. Yuya Uemura - Finlay is the IWGP global champion, and he was one of the quarterfinalists in last year's G1. Uemura returned from excursion last fall, so this is his first trip to the big dance. Typically when Young Lions graduate to full-time wrestlers and qualify for the G1, they do very poorly in the first year, so it'll be a moral victory for Yuya to secure even one win. But he's definitely not going to pick up that win here. I expect Finlay to start very strong and then stumble in the home stretch. This is going to be a mugging.

A Block: SANADA vs. Jake Lee - Sanada won the 2020 tournament; last year he went 7-0 in block matches, so you'd have to figure he's a heavy favorite. Lee, coming in from Pro Wrestling NOAH, is appearing in the tournament for the first time.

The big story is that, on July 13, Lee disbanded NOAH's Good Looking Guys stable, turned on his ex-partners, aligned with New Japan's War Dogs, and declared his exit from NOAH altogether. I'm not exactly sure what that means, but this will be our first glimpse of Lee and whatever repackaging he'll undergo for this new direction.

Sanada is an easy pick to win the G1, simply because he lost the world title at the last Wrestle Kingdom, and it'd be straightforward to tell a story about him getting it back one year later. But the easiest story to tell for Sanada in this tournament is if he stumbles early and has to climb out of a hole. So Lee is my pick to win here.

B Block: Jeff Cobb vs. Hirooki Goto - Cobb, the NJPW World television champion, went 8-1 in the 2021 tournament, so he's got what it takes. Goto has won the whole thing, but that was waaaay back in 2008; even his big second-place finish in 2016 feels like a lifetime ago. Much has been made of the way this year's tournament excluded aging mainstays like Hiroshi Tanahashi, Tomohiro Ishii, and KENTA; the fact Goto made the cut suggests they have a purpose for him here. But I suspect that purpose is to finish 2-7 so he can put over a bunch of guys like Cobb.

A Block: Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Great-O-Khan - Sabre was a quarterfinalist last year. Khan (the KOPW champion, for whatever that's worth) has never scored better than 4 wins and 5 losses. Throughout 2024, Sabre has been acting like he knows big things are awaiting him on the horizon, and he's repeatedly commented that he needs to win the G1 this year. He sounds like someone who's been told he's getting a big push. Now, I don't know why he would telegraph that to the audience in such a blatant fashion. So I could be totally off the mark, or he could be feeding us a red herring.

Regardless, I think Sabre will finish in the top 3 for the block. To create suspense about that, though, he should give up some wins against weaker opponents, and I think Khan fits the bill nicely.

B Block: HENARE vs. El Phantasmo - Henare only won one match in his first G1, and only two in his second, and that really pissed me off. I'm always pulling for this guy and being bitterly disappointed. Hopefully that's going to change after he recently won the NEVER championship in the biggest match of his career so far. Phantasmo's personal best isn't much better--three wins, three losses--but I'm not as worried about him finding ways to get ahead.

In 2023 Phantasmo was turfed out of Bullet Club, and he went into last year's G1 feeling incredibly isolated until the Guerillas of Destiny invited him into their stable. In 2024, all the Tongans in GOD have left to join the Bloodline in WWE, so Phantasmo is headed into this year's G1 feeling even more isolated. Will Jado still be by his side? Will he introduce a new look or something? Will he just be a sad sack devoid of motivation? This match will answer those questions. I just hope ELP protects his neck, or Henare will run him down like a truck.

A Block: Shota Umino vs. Callum Newman - You'd think Umino would be pushed as the future of the company, but his G1 debut last year with a 2-3-2 record suggests otherwise. He needs to post a higher score, and it'd be pretty hard not to. Newman is a newcomer, and I wouldn't have expected him to make the cut in 2024 except that he won a six-man tournament to qualify, scoring upset wins over the likes of Kenta and YOSHI-HASHI.

Umino ran into some trouble a month ago when he suffered hip and back injuries in a routine AEW match. I was real curious if he'd even make it to the G1, and he didn't confirm so until this past Monday. I doubt they would rebook the tournament to give him more losses on account of that. But if he's still hurting, this could be a particularly grueling tournament for him. I don't expect Shota to get out of the block, but he could surprise me. As for Newman, he's at the "just happy to be here" level where a 0-9 record is very possible; he's the heavy underdog in all of his matches, including this one.

B Block: Ren Narita vs. Oleg Boltin - Narita debuted in the G1 last year with an anemic 3-4 record. Boltin is entering for the first time, following a six-man qualifying tournament where he knocked Toru Yano, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Taichi out of the field.

Boltin was a Young Lion when he, Tanahashi, and Toru Yano captured the NEVER trios title a few months ago. I expected that to effectively "graudate" him out of the Young Lions system, and he'd get to pick out custom gear and have his own entrance music. But so far, he's had none of that--even when he qualified for this spot, he was wearing the plain black trunks and they played the generic curtain jerker theme. So maybe this match will be his big coming out moment. Or maybe he just doesn't give a crap, I don't know.

If any other Young Lion made it into the G1 like this, I'd expect him to lose every match. But Oleg is 265 pounds of solid muscle, and they've given him Brock Lesnar's finisher. They have big plans for this guy. Big enough to get past the chicanery Ren Narita brings to the table? Well, we'll see. I think this one could go either way.

🥛 atsumu is definitely a perfectionist

🥛 always speaks his mind

🥛 also definitely on the fun and outgoing side as a partner

🥛 can do unexpected things at times (showing up at your house for an impromptu date with a suit / tie and a bouquet of roses in hand, for example)

🥛 is used to motivation and motivating (read "motivating" as "challenging osamu, sometimes unintentionally")

🥛 he knows what he wants in life and he isn't afraid to go for it

🥛 admires you for being the same

🥛 also tends to overwork himself so you'd both have to remind each other to take it easy

🥛 if he had time for dating, atsumu strikes me as kind of a player

🥛 not many people can keep up with his nature or have the patience to deal with his volleyball obsession

🥛 so he'd be used to people coming and going

🥛 but once he falls, he falls HARD

🥛 love letters kinda guy

🥛 would be either one of the following two:

🥛 shamelessly serenades you with them and reads them in front of everyone while under your house either trying to get you to go out with him (before the relationship) or lowkey just making you embarrassed (during the relationship)

🥛 too embarrassed to share his deepest feelings with you until osamu completely outs him by secretly mailing you the letters (think "all the boys")

🥛 you can definitely talk to him even at 2 a.m.

🥛 will probably be asleep then (he's gotta get good sleep to be in peak athletic condition) but will be up and bouncing within seconds if you need him

🥛 i believe atsumu will be big on giving words of affirmation and physical touch

🥛 strikes me as a pda guy

🥛 almost solely because it annoys osamu

🥛 loves going on dates with you, both chill and fancy

🥛 WILL put effort into fancy dates

🥛 honestly just wants to spend a lot of time with you because he's usually very busy with volleyball

🥛 if you're okay with it, he's running to you before and after a game and giving you a big kiss

🥛 calls you his good luck charm affectionately

runner up for you was oikawa tōru!

A/N: i hope you liked it 🎀anon! i hope this met your expectations :)

(i also really really hope i got the emoji right ik you sent me another message but i'm just a mess so there's a chance i messed it up)

[tetskuro]

hi gorgeous! could i be 🎀? your matchups are absolutely adorable and i thought of sending in one for myself because, hey, you're pretty cool and i just wanna see who i'm more compatible w shshsh. i would adore a long, romantic matchup!!! i'm a straight woman (she/her) and i'd love to be matched w a male character!! my ideal type in a guy would be someone who's attentive, and a perfectionist. i always work super hard to look good/stay good and i'd appreciate a person who does the same. i also want someone who stands up for what he thinks and isn't easily influenced yk? i like someone who keeps me on my toes and challenges me and motivates me to work harder. i love love love boys who take an effort on dates. i want a guy who listens to the similar music i do and makes playlists for me (id do the same duh) and writes long ass love letters, just because. i want someone who matches outfits with me and holds my hand in public. someone i can trust with anything and we can just yap at 2 a.m. about the most senseless thing there is on planet earth. bonus points if he looks tall and scary because like...yes.

i'm so sorry i ramble a lot but it's just like...unstoppable, anyways a tiny description of me!! i'm an introvert, even if i do not look the part. it's not like i'm shy, i just don't like keeping up w fake people if you know what i mean. i'm confident about myself and know what i want in life. i'm also pretty sarcastic usually and use humor as a coping mechanism. i usually tend to overwork myself because i want to be the best at everything i do. i also ALWAYS stick up for my friends and don't let anyone walk over me or those who matter to me. i love love love listening to people and offering them advice, it fills me with so much glee that they trust me with things like, i'm always here for u!!! also, i'm not exactly a sunshine nor am i grumpy? it really just depends on whom i'm around. i'm 5'0 feet tall, with brown layered waves and curtain bangs, and almond shaped eyes. i'm pretty fair ngl but super tanned around the arms (i forget sunscreen) and i have an hourglass figure. my hobbies are playing the guitar, doing ballet, watching sappy girly romcoms, doing my makeup, listening to songs, studying (sorry im a nerd), shopping and swimming. i do adore a good thriller novel too. ok, ranking the love languages wld be- 1) quality time (giving n receiving) 2) acts of service (receiving n giving ) 3) words of affirmation (giving n receiving) 4) physical touch (receiving) 5) gifts!! (receiving) sorry chat im too broke n uncreative to give any IM SORRY ILL SMOTHER U W LOVE extra info i saw the previous people give, i'm an intp virgo YAY i love taylor swift and the color pink (im the textbook definition of a girly girl) i adore english literature and have won plenty of international writing awards im so proud of it AND AND AND i think youre very cool and awesome and yeah. inserts bow emoji cause i cant find it. LOVE YOU TAKE CARE STAY HYDRAETD!!!! take ur time bb.

your matchup is...

sakusa kiyoomi

⭑ sakusa is a very attentive person and is always striving to reach perfection

⭑ incredibly detail oriented and doesn't like leaving things unfinished

⭑ you both work super hard and would definitely be able to keep each other on your toes

⭑ he puts a lot of effort into anything he does, so he'd plan out your guys's dates meticulously because he wants to make sure you have a good time

⭑ sakusa also has a tendency to overwork himself so he notices when you're doing the same; that way you'd be able to keep each other in check

⭑ i see quality time and acts of service being sakusa's biggest love languages when it comes to giving

⭑ i feel like the later into the night it is, sakusa would be more likely to indulge in random conversations about anything and everything

⭑ he knows he can always come to you whenever he's in need of any guidance because he trusts you wholeheartedly to listen to him and give advice on important things

⭑ sakusa isn't too big on pda but he would hold your hand while walking around or maybe keep an arm around your waist

⭑ with his dark hair and eyes and height of 6+ ft, sakusa can appear tall and scary to people who don't know him, especially with his mask on

⭑ he'd find your sarcasm amusing and you'd be able to get some chuckles out of him with your humor

⭑ i think he would be a fan of thrillers so he'd love your book recs and finish a novel within a couple of days

⭑ he finds your passion for english literature very admirable and thinks it's so amazing how you've won international writing awards? like that's a huge thing to be proud of

your matchup runner-up is kageyama tobio

[madam-kumo]

Identity V characters as Music

(I did skip some because I had no idea what to do for them. Also Major spoiler warning)

Masterlist

Survivors

Emily Dyer (doctor)

Nurses Office by Melanie Martinez.

For obvious reasons

Freddy Riley (Lawyer)

The Fine Print by The Stupendium

He mentions in his backstory that he hopes to find a better job than the "menial" job he has with a low wage.

Kreacher Pierson (Thief)

Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson

He literally steals parts from the ciphers.

Emma Woods (Gardener)

Dandelions by Ruth B.

A happy song for a happy character. (Emma is literally so cute, she deserves it)

Servais Le Roy (The magician)

Circus by Brittney Spears

Where do we find magicians? A circus...

Martha Behamfil (Coordinator)

Bang! by AJR

Martha has a gun. That's it.

Fiona Gilman (Priestess)

W.I.T.C.H by Devon Cole

I was gonna go with Dragula by Rob Zombie but that felt too aggressive for Fiona.

Tracy Reznik (Mechanic)

Puppet Boy by Devo

It has the cheerful sound to it like Tracy does but I chose this song because I love her mechanical dolls (they underrated).

Vera Nair (Perfumer)

Francis Forever by Mitski

I feel like this song sums up how Vera felt after murdering her sister.

Kevin Ayuso (Cowboy)

Country Girl by Luke Bryan

I gave him the most southern song I could physically think of.

Margaretha Zelle (Female Dancer)

Liquid Smooth by Mitski

I think this song shows how Margaretha felt and how she saw herself just before coming to the manor.

Sergei (Weeping Clown or Joker)

Cigarette duet by Princess Chelsea

This song is pretty much a nutshell of when Sergei was having problems with Margaretha and was trying to convince her to stay with him.

Aesop Carl (Embalmer)

Coraline Opening Song

If you paid attention to when the other mother is making the doll then you can see when she lays the great aunts doll on what looks like a kit of some kind then you can see that it's an embalming kit. (My favorite movie song for my main)

Norton Campbell

Wolf in Sheep's Clothing by Set It Off

I saw somebody use it in an edit when he attacked Orpheus and Melly so I think this song fits.

Patricia Dorval (Enchantress)

Come Little Children from the Hocus Pocus 1993 film

I always got the vibe that Patricia is very family oriented and tries to avoid social conflict when she can so a peaceful song like this literally being sung by a witch is something Patricia would enjoy. (I love this woman so much)

Mike Morton

Freak by Sub Urban

I couldn't really think of one without repeating so I decided on this one.

Demi Bourbon

Alcoholic Friends by Dresden Dolls

I think this was how she felt after her brother got the invitation to the manor.

Victor Grantz

Message man by Twenty One Pilots

I think this song fits him because I'd imagine he's very observant since he's so quiet so not a lot of people know much about him but he knows a lot about others.

Andrew Kreiss

Tears to Shed from the Corpse Bride film

The movie is about death and the song is about comparing yourself to others. Nothing else fits quite like this one does. (I can't describe how much I adore Andrew)

Luca Balsa ("Prisoner)

Welcome to the Internet- Bo Burnham

I feel like Luca matches the overall chaotic vibes this song has and he would probably explain the internet just like Burnham did (very quickly and kinda passive aggressively)

Melly Plinus (Entomologist)

Entomologist by GHOST

Need I say more

Edgar Valden (Painter)

My Ordinary Life by The Living Tombstones

This song sounds happy like Edgar

Ganji Gupta (Batter)

The Sports Wii theme song

This is what he gets for beating up my poor Geisha during rank

Anne Lester (Toy Merchant)

Pogo- Living Island

A cheerful song because she deserves it (I have a soft spot for Anne mains)

Ada and Emil (Phycologist and the Patient)

Dark Red by Steve Lacy

I love their relationship so much

Orpheus (Novelist)

Satisfied by Marina and The Diamonds.

I don't know, just seems fitting.

Alice Deross (Journalist)

Ramalama (bang, bang) by Róisín Murphy

If you've ever heard this song, you know exactly why I chose this song.

Hunters

Leo Beck ( Hell Ember)

We'll meet again- Vera Lynn

This song is probably something he would listen to on repeat to hope that it will help him reunite with Emma. (I'm gonna cry)

Jack (The Ripper)

Run Rabbit Run by Flanagan and Allen

I have a feeling that he's one of those killers that taunts his victims so this song fits.

Violetta (Soul Weaver)

Spider's Web by Melanie Martinez (my favorite portals song)

She's literally a giant spider. (And I love her for that)

Michiko (Geisha)

Washing Machine Heart by Mitski

Michiko just wanted to marry the man the man she loved but it was ripped away by her lovers father. (I wanna give my main a hug so bad)

Joseph Desaulniers (Photographer)

Paparazzi by Lady Gaga

You saw this coming, don't lie to me

Burke Lapadura (Mad Eyes)

Rainbow Factory by Glaze

He works on machines and stuff. I don't know, I'm running out of ideas.

Yidhra (Dream Witch)

Puppet Boy by Devo

This is the only song I'm repeating because it fits so well.

Robbie (The Axe Boy)

Teenage Dirt Bag by Wheatus

I feel like it matches his energy as a kid with way too much energy and mischief in his little body.

Mary (Bloody Queen)

Where's your Head at? by Basement Jaxx

You could say she lost her head....I'm done.

BonBon (Guard 26)

Blow! By Ke$ha

His ability is that he can make these explosive thingies when he chair someone.

Ann ("Disciple")

Brutus us by the Buttress

This song was the first thing that came to mind when I saw her, obviously.

Antonio Paganini (Violinist)

Sex with a Ghost by Teddy Hyde

I feel like the "woman in the mirror" could be replaced by the devil he made a deal with.

Galatea Claude (Sculptor)

Breezeblocks by Alt-J

This perfectly describes how I think Galatea felt when her statue was destroyed by her father.

Percy (Undead)

Zydrate Anatomy by Alexa PenaVega, Paris Hilton, and Terrance Zdunich

Another song I can't really explain why but it feels right.

Grace (Naiad)

Siren by Kailee Morgue

Perfect for Naiad by the title alone.

Phillipe (Wax Artist)

Hidden in the Sand by Tally Hall

His backstory has always freaked me out a bit since he literally has a corpse covered in wax glued(?) to his shoulder.

Keigan Nicholas Keogh (Clerk)

The Principle by Melanie Martinez

I feel like Clerk would be the kind of person to subconsciously abuse her power like the principle does.

Alva Lorenz (Hermit)

Rat by Penelope Scott

Alva says he will never know the true answers to humanity so I feel like this song fits into that phrase.

Ithaqua (Night Watch)

Below the Surface by Griffinilla

This song was the first thing to come to mind for him so I'm gonna keep it.

Sangria (Opera Singer)

Ballad of Jane Doe from the Ride the Cyclone musical

Jane doe hits some of the highest notes in this song I've ever seen in a musical and I just feel like Sangria would really like this song.

[gyroshrike]

10, 24, 33, 47, 51 and 69 for the 100 homestuck thing! ❤

10. Ever drank Faygo?

I have! I often buy it when I see it when I'm out and about. I have a favorite flavor, but I forgot what it was xD I know it was orange colored.

24. Least favorite guardian?

Don't dislike any per se, even Bro, because villains and bad people can be interesting characters and I like how that affects Dave's character arc and motivations. (Plus I love me some heartwarming Good!Bro AU's) I guess Alpha Rose is my least favorite? There is absolutely nothing I dislike about her, I've just connected with her emotionally the least. (But I also love the dynamic between Alpha Rose and Alpha Dave.)

33. Favorite pale ship?

Already answered this one!

47. Patron troll? Are you happy with them?

Soooo I always thought that your patron troll was your star sign, but I later learned it's not. Different sources tell me different things, but I always get either Karkat, Aradia, or Tavros. All of which are Very Good.

51. One ship you didn’t like at first, but like now?

Oh, literally like... so many. Too many. Most of them I didn't dislike, I just never thought to like them. Reeeally enjoying flushed NepJade and pitch EquiTav, and pitch FefKat.

There's a whole bunch of others that I didn't appreciate my first time reading hs. I wasn't much of a multishipper back then, so I only dabbled in This Is the Ship I Want To Be Canon type ship rather than enjoying the potential for AU situations or isolated dynamics and stuff. Or even 'I just want them to bang' type ships. Opening my mind more and actually really thinking about other quadrants has helped too.

JohnSol, GamJane, Solrezi, Equifef. And definitely more.

Flushed JaneRoxy? It's not that I didn't like it, it just never spoke to me? But now I think it's hella cute. Pale Cronkri, I suppose. Still not super into them being flushed, but I can enjoy it.

69. Classpects you’ve identified with before?

So, originally I took the Land of Celebration and Bells test and got Maid of Blood back in high school. Close to ten years later I took it again and got Monk of Space. The closest canon class to Monk was Slyph and my 'blood' ranking was only a few points lower than 'space,' so I decided to go with blood since it still ranked high and I'd been blood before. So since then I've been saying Slyph of Blood.

BUT a friend made me reconsider possibly going back to Maid.

And I feel like this was a really good point and it's been on my mind ever since.

100. One popular HS opinion you agree with?

Nooks and bulges! No biological differences between genders. Gender only varies by external expression. Some have fat deposits on their chests and some have less, but it's not dictated by anything related to sex/gender.

(Sorry, I threw this into my drafts months ago and just got around to finishing them now.)

[aimmyarrowshigh]

Hey Aim! 😊 I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the hell out of Haiku and I honestly let out a little squeak of joy when I saw it and read it. Great work as always. I also wanted to ask you what’s one pairing you want to explore next year, which work of yours have you reread the most, and which was your favorite pairing (or y'nno, top six to nine) that you wrote for this year for Ao3 wrapped? Hope you're having a great day! 😚

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. ^_^ I've never done a Reverse Big Bang before, so it was a different sort of prompt than I normally use and it was a fun new exploration!

19. What’s one pairing you want to explore next year?

Ooh. This is tough, because I honestly write pretty much whatever tickles my fancy without regard for whether other people will read it anyway, LOL. I'm excited to post more Stucky longfic (YEAR OF FINISHING WILL CONTINUE INTO 2023) and to finish and post the Steve/Joyce. I do really want to try writing Eddie Munson/Wednesday Addams, if I can brain up a plot for it. Right now the idea is just Good Vibes. I'm excited about a lot of the Femslash February pairings that I'm planning on for 2023, as well. But there isn't anything that necessarily sticks out to me like, "oh I wish that I felt like I could write X but I can't," because I just... do the thing, usually.

20. Which work of yours have you reread the most?

Of all time? I think Cinnafic, probably -- it's the oldest thing I have posted that I'm still actually quite proud of at least most of, and I just reread it this year so it's in my head. I think the District 4 story in that series in particular is what I've reread the most of my own stuff. If I do say so myself, the Vibes in that story are Immaculate.

Of things I've written THIS YEAR, Five Times Captain America Fucked A USO Girl & One Time Steve Rogers Got Fucked. I was in a writing fugue state while writing it so I didn't hyper-edit myself the whole time and make myself sick of it while writing, for a change. LOL

9. Favorite pairing you wrote for this year?

Oh man. I'm so bad at ranking pairings. I mean, I feel like I'd have to call myself a liar if I acted like anything other than Steve/Bucky were my OTP of the moment, but it's honestly kind of rare that I have a true One Pairing That I Like Best because I'm such a multishipper. I love writing Kate/Yelena. I love writing Gomez/Morticia, and I'm excited to write more Wednesday/Enid. I love writing just about any woman character/Velma Dinkley, hahaha. Dang who all did I even write for this year? I love Chrissy/Eddie :(((((((( my sweet doomed bbs. The pairings that I wrote the most this year are, in order, according to AO3:

Yelena/Kate

Steve/Bucky

Phryne/Jack

Booker/Nile

Joe/Nicky

Darcy/Wanda

Eddie/Chrissy

Katniss/Peeta

Gomez/Morticia

Andy/Quynh

But like, the pairing I wrote the most this year is still only 79/968 fics that I posted this year, so I've written A FUCKTON OF PAIRINGS.

[aimedigital]

Sorry about the quality! So, first up on stage we've got my first Hazbin oc. This, my friends, is Teeveevix. Or Vixie for short.

[She's a demon with television antennae that move and pulse with electricity. She's a sinner who's close friends with Charlie, helping with her hotel. She's best friends with Alastor, the two having known each other for a long time. Adam has a big crush on her. She has one lightning eye and has a somewhat country accent. She wears a blue short frilly dress. She's a cheery person and gets bored easily. She loves dancing as well. She only argues with Husk because of their differing personalities. Her soul is owned by Vox and typically puts on shows/preformances for Hell. She typically doesn't like to get too emotional at all and keeps those feelings bottled up.]

Quick old lil' discription!

So, originally she was made out to be a potential love interest for Alastor. But I've decided since I'd rather her be a bit more of her own person, so I put that romantic idea to the side. I think she's great, I've had several people loving her design! Here was the early stage:

Oc: Teeveevix | h3ll’s superstar | a bit self-absorbed | “Hello hello, ciao, and bonjour, it’s Teeveevix your one and only superstar!” | Nickname: Vixie, Teevee | she/her || 31 || Mvdered but with lightning: media rebelled against her for many reasons, for example, rumors. Convinced her best friends to lure her outside during a thunderstorm to the exact spot they predicted lighting would strike [EDIT: lol this idea of prediction now kinda sounds a bit stupid XD|| Can manipulate others minds, see what their thinking, and make anyone love her (platonically or romantically), lightning | weak to other stars/famous people and jealousy | has a crush on Alastor but is well at hiding it | Best friends: Charlie + Vaggie + Nifty + Alastor | Wears shiny metallic short dress and boots, tv antennae, one lightning eye, bangs, straight hair | Co-parents Nifty | She tricked the media so she could be even greater and started false rumors since she was starting to be forgotten | Loves sweets | Adores Lucifer | d!ed in 2003 | Adam has huge crush on her, attempts to fl!rt | straight| W3@p0n: Lightning and antennae | full of herself

So yeah. Rough draft is pretty rough. I'd like to keep the Hell's superstar but my big inspiration for her was a video game character named Iono. My Pokemon fans know what I mean ;D.

[Image by Mothflesh on a different website. TYSM!]

For me Vixie was a popular person in my mind of characters, but nowadays she's a bit lower in the rankings. Still love her though!

Thank you all, -Aime

[bhawk-goose]

I randomly decided to rank a bunch of FNaF animatronics based on how much I'd want them at a party. Backseat also did something like this but he used a number system and had a math system, while I'm using a tier list and am a dumbass who's never played a FNaF game and just knows about them from Youtube Videos.

I won't be doing stuff from Ruin since I haven't watched any videos on it(no spoilers), and if there's any new animatronics from HW 2 I won't be including them either for the same reason. I'm using an online tier list so if I miss any from other games blame Random Internet Used #37. I'll also be making this under the assumption that if the animatronics were murderous or otherwise evil before, they've been rehabilitated, and that animatronics will be operating alone. Also I'll only be using the pictures in the tier list and memory for visual reference, so if I say something about how one of them looks that you don't agree with, it may just be the image used in the tier list.

Starting with OG Freddy(OG in release order, not chronological order). He looks friendly, he can sing, and he's the mascot, and has lots of experience since he also entertained in an older location before FNaF 2(I think, it's been a while since I've watched a lore video but I'm pretty sure he's the repaired version of withered Freddy). S tier.

Next is OG Bonnie. He's got the same amound of experience as OG Freddy and presumably the same musical talent, but he uses guitar which, makes him more versatile since he can use the guitar to entertain without drawing attention. He would be S+, but he loses points for, at least in the picture used for the tier list, doesn't look as friendly, and doesn't get the bonus Freddy did for being the mascot.

OG Chica isn't nearly as good as the other OGs. She's an ugly shade of yellow, no musical talent, annoying in the kitchen(banging pots and pans together isn't evil, just annoying, so I'm assuming she still does that), and for some reason still thinks she belongs on stage. I do love food tho and I've always assumed she serves the pizza(since she doesn't seem quite advanced enough to actually cook) so she's bumped up to B tier.

The last of the OGs is Foxy(kinda, Golden Freddy's still left but they aren't really part of the main group). He's supposed to be a pirate but the eyepatch doesn't even wrap all the way around his head, and from what I remember his hook looks actually pointy. I doubt it's that sharp, but it still seems like it could easily catch and damage baggy clothing if you try to get a picture with him, so that's not a very good start. He's also heavily damaged, with most of his legs just being bare endo, but that's not really an issue since he somehow has no exposed wiring. C tier.

OG Golden Freddy may seem like an easy F tier since he can't even move, but he is shown to be able to teleport and create illusions(the poster), So even if he can't make any illusions bigger than a poster he could still be cool if you just give him some paper, he could just make a 2d character and communicate through them with speach bubbles. Even if he can't make them move he could make it more like a comic and change the illusion to new panels. S+ tier.

Onto the Toys, Toy Freddy looks friendly, can sing, plays video games, AND is shit at them, which makes him a good entertainer and relatable, but the voice is just way too annoying. I'm fine with him sounding cartoony, but he sounds like someone was mocking cartoon voices and going over the top, and then someone else mocked THEM. F tier.

Toy Bonnie's visual design is a bit much, but it's not nearly as bad as Toy Freddy's voice, and I'm assuming he doesn't also have the voice issue, but I haven't heard his UCN lines so IDK for sure. He's presumably good with his guitar, he's a nice shade of blue, AND he can recognize criminals, which I'm assuming he'll only act on when it's a bad crime and not fucking throw someone out the window cuz they stole a chocolate bar when they were four. S tier.

Toy Chica's pretty simple. She's a nice shade of yellow, has a cupcake despite not being associated with food anymore, and that's about it. She's pretty average, B tier.

Mangle is probably the most damaged animatronic in the series, but somehow doesn't have any exposed wiring. Because of that I'm assuming they don't have any wiring at all, meaning they're waterproof, so they'd work pretty well in a pool. Combined with the fact that they're two animatronics in one with the extra endo head(even if it isn't sentient on its own they could still use it as a puppet) puts them in S tier.

Withered Freddy is pretty good for the most part. I prefer his boxy shape over Freddy's more rounded one, and he has buttons which make his torso seem way less empty. He does have a bunch of exposed wiring, but that's not as much of a downside as it would be for someone like Sun who needs to get up close to do his job, since Freddy sings. Still a bit of a downside, putting them in A tier(somehow the first A tier)

I initially thought Withered Bonnie would be the first F tier since he's missing an arm, but a quick google search revealed that there are one-armed guitarists, so assuming Withered Bonnie could learn to play with one hand him missing an arm isn't actually a downside. He's also missing the covering on his hand, which while I haven't tried to play guitar with mittens on, I imagine it's easier to do it without them. I also imagine it's harder to play guitar with one hand, but OG Bonnie just has a better color, so A tier.

Withered Chica has a way better color than OG Chica, but that's about it. They're missing both hands so while they may be able to carry food with just their arms the long exposed wires could be dangerous, especially if the food's greasy. B tier.

Withered Foxy is pretty similar to OG Foxy and I don't think he even has any exposed wiring, though he looks cooler so B tier.

Puppet's kinda basic. They seem good for their role, but their role is giving people gifts, which is already what my friends and relatives would be doing for my birthday, D tier.

Withered Golden Freddy. Just normal Golden Freddy but he has exposed wiring and no illusions. D tier.

IDK enough about Shadow Freddy to properly rank him, but I'll do my best. I don't think he's real, meaning no risk of harm, but he's still visible on cameras so pictures are still an option, and him not being physical actually makes more options for pictures. He's also a nice shade of purple, but the glowing eyes and teeth don't really work well with the design and he presumably can't move, B tier.

Shadow Bonnie's just Shadow Freddy but they're a rabbit that's hard to see and it's unclear if they appear on cameras, but even if they do they're still D tier.

Balloon Boy has a repetitive laugh with no emotion behind it, may have only one balloon, but it may actually just be part of him, in which case he has no balloons. D tier

JJ is Balloon Boy but they don't even have a reason to have a balloon. They are a better shade of purple and I'm less likely to remember that I decided to have THEM at my birthday party out of all the animatronics. C tier.

Endo 2. IDK why they're here when Endo 1 isn't, or how they act, or if they act at all, or anything else. B tier by default.

Like I said I'm operating under the assumption that any animatronics which used to be evil are no longer evil, but Springtrap killed 6 kids(I think, maybe 5). I'm 13, I can't just have a party with someone who did that and not have it be akward, even if they're a good person now. Combined with the fact that they have a corpse inside them which may or may not still have blood they're the second F tier.

I'm assuming that none of the phantoms are physical, and I think Phantom Freddy has the best photo opportunities due to him not being nearly as damaged as some of the others while still being somewhat large. A tier.

I don't remember Watermelon being damaged at all, but she also just doesn't really look good. B tier.

Phantom Foxy's damage actually helps him here. I originally thought that being less damaged would help but thinking about it I think they just have different photo opportunities, so they're sharing A tier

Phantom Mangle doesn't really look damaged like Phantom Foxy, they just look like metal spaghetti, though at least they could still look cool climbing around. D tier.

Phantom Puppet's just too skinny for any cool photos that I couldn't get with normal Puppet. Still way better than Toy Freddy and Springtrap tho, so D tier.

Phantom Balloon Boy is a lot like Phantom Puppet, no unique photo opportunities. D tier.

With the nightmares I'll be assuming they're physical since they are in UCN. I know they mention that they were "given flesh", presumably for UCN, but I'm just assuming they kept their flesh. Nightmare Freddy is kinda meh on his own, but he has three freddles which seem cute in the context of them not screaming at you and summoning a guy that kills you. S tier.

Nightmare Bonnie's just meh, B tier.

Nightmare Chica is kinda like Nightmare Freddy but only one little friend, and while nightmare cupcake is cooler they don't seem like they could do much other than sit there and chew stuff. Still cute tho, so A tier.

Nightmare Foxy just looks cool as fuck. His hook looks just as sharp as OG Foxy but with him it fits. S tier.

Nightmare Fredbear looks kinda cool, but not as cool as Nightmare Foxy, and his belly mouth's just weird, but not weird enough to bring him down a tier. A tier.

Nightmare no last name given is just Nightmare Fredbear but black and transparent for no reason, C tier.

Plushtrap is like Freddy's Freddles but it's just one and the one's an ugly shade of green. C tier.

Nightmarionnette would be C tier, but in Help Wanted I'm pretty sure they can make tentacles that reach out of dark areas somehow which gives them much better reach, but aside from that they're boring and don't look good, A tier

Jack-o-Bonnie and Chica are pretty similar. I'm assuming, based on Jack-o-Chica's mechanic in UCN that they only appear in high temparature which is just annoying. If I picked either of these I'd have to keep the heater on just for them to actually be there. Though them being able to clone themselves is nice, so both go in C tier.

There are quite a few more but I'm getting tired so I'll stop here.

Questions for Twin OCs - Irwin-Lynley Edition

Meet Irwin (left, the boy) and Lynley (right, the girl)!

They are twin siblings of another OC couple of mine, Rurik and Manami, who are an archdemon (highest demon rank in my OCverse) and a sea spirit respectively. This makes them half-demon and half-sea spirits, or as how I'd like to think of them, sea demons. You'll find out more about them below the cut.

Archiving these threads from Twitter and adding a few extra stuff here for easier access. Questions are made by the admins on OCsbase, Twitter. Original thread (in Indonesian) on my Twitter, dated 5th February 2024.

1. "Let's introduce them first!"

Irwin and Lynley are a pair of sailor twins who often explore around the sea in the Underworld (and possibly the Overworld as well) along with Yorino, a bakeneko and close friend of theirs. As sea demons, Irwin has a water-based power, however Lynley has an electric-based power instead. About their age, they're probably around 13~15 in human age.

Until now, they are minor characters in Heaven Prequel of Salvation with no roles in the story YET. They are usually in the same group as the other lovechilds.

2. "Are they identical twins or fraternal?"

Fraternal! Even though they look identical (forcefully)

Though, I have a headcanon that since Lynley looks up to Irwin so much, she intentionally matches her own looks like the way Irwin dresses and how he stylizes his hairstyle 😂

3. "Who's the older sibling? Who's the younger sibling?"

Irwin is the big brother, and Lynley is the little sister. They probably only differ by 1~2 minute tho

4. "Who was created first by the author?"

Irwin of course! Lynley was created, like, a year ago because I suddenly had an impulse to create a jellyfish-themed oc 😂

5. "Are they close?"

So-so. I like to think they often bicker over unnecessary things, even if Lynley adores Irwin lmao

6. "What are their dynamics like?"

Irwin is quiet (to the point he is often mistaken for being mute) but can be very sarcastic and cynical once he speaks, while Lynley is calm and elegant but can become infuriated if something doesn't go her way. Kinda makes me think that their Chinese Zodiac would be Horse if they were born in the human world (for Lynley, at least)

Kinda wanna make them the Brother-Sister Team trope tho (because of the water-electric combo) 🤔 and then Irwin would be the brawn and Lynley the brains.

Their dynamic (along with Higan, their eldest brother) is love triangle, which can be interpreted as either platonic or romantic (I myself prefer platonic for Lynley and romantic for Irwin) however you want it but the point is like this

7. "Are they happy to be twins?"

So-so.

8. "Will they tell everyone that they have a twin? Or that everyone doesn't have to know that they have a twin?"

Irwin is the type to answer if asked and would admit that he has a twin sister, while Lynley who's the Big Brother Worship type (not to Higan tho) maybe will say it proudly but only to her or their closest friends because Irwin himself doesn't like getting the attention? Idk

9. "Do they have other sibling(s) beside their twin?"

Yes, they do! Their older brother, Higan. Their ages are far apart, at least 10 years. Unfortunately, the brother rarely comes home because of daddy issues, so the three of them rarely see each other 😔

Their relationship is pretty comedic to me with the love triangle thingy. Irwin wants Higan to notice him (implied big brother attraction?), but Higan responds by ignoring his achievements and whatsoever. Meanwhile, Higan wants to dote on Lynley and make her coo up to him (because his true ideal little sibling is a GIRL), but Lynley in turn ignores her eldest brother the way he ignores her slightly older brother as revenge.

10. "What are their similarities? For identical twins, apart from their physique."

??? They have ahoges, the same clothing style (sailor uniforms), the same hairstyle (bangs parted from the middle)... and they both are sea demons...

11. "What makes them different physically? If they're fraternal twins, tell us what's unique about them."

The point is that Lynley's unique characteristic is she looks like a jellyfish if seen from the back or based on her silhouette... and Irwin is the tallest one out of his siblings...??

Oh, and Irwin only has one ahoge pointing upwards, while Lynley has two ahoges pointing downwards. Irwin's genderbend (female) self also has long hair, but not wavy like Lynley and is slightly messy.

12. "What differentiates them from their personality?"

I guess Irwin has more self-restraint than Lynley...

13. "Who is most often compared to their twin?"

Maybe Irwin because there's a slight favoritism from their father (to Lynley) 😭

But I think both of them are equally smart, Rurik just needs a reason to nag at his SON because his true ideal child is a GIRL

14. "Do they have the same type of partner? Would they switch their partners if told to? Hehe"

I actually haven't decided but based on which character I ship them with, it seems that both of them are attracted to older partners hmmm.....

Though, I think maybe Lynley would have preferred a golden retriever partner or someone who could let her relax and play around for once. cough Yorino cough

15. "Lastly, how do they view and feel towards their twin?"

Overall, Irwin doesn't seem to mind Lynley looking up to and admiring him, even though it annoys him sometimes when she gets too far or talks too much. However, I don't think Irwin can actually get angry at Lynley, cuz she's his little sister after all and she went through the same abuse from their father (although Lynley had it a bit easier), so he still has that big brother instinct in him. And besides, he's not the type to overthink what others think of him. Though if he could, he would be the type to act like nothing happened the next day.

While for Lynley to Irwin, it's been said or implied plenty that she adores her big brother to the point of idolizing him (but not too extreme like ACTUALLY worshipping him). Though, she doesn't look like the type to constantly pester Irwin every second with girly "kyaa"s and "sugoi desuwa oniisama!", and besides, she's aware that even her adored big brother has his own flaws. Quick note that she only adores Irwin as her "older brother in shining scales" (because he's a sea dragon) and (possibly) only views him in a platonic way.

Bangs has SUCH a nice design. Know that they’re not a Sonic OC, but given the recent mashup art you did in curious; what would their stage rank quotes be?

Well, first of all, thanks! I'm glad you like Bangs's design; it always makes me really happy to see people like my characters. As for the quote ranks, I think they'd go as follows:

Bangs

E: "Urgh! Why aren't I taking this seriously?"

D: "My head wasn't fully in the game for that one, sorry."

C: "I can live with this."

B: "Not bad! Not bad at all."

A: "Well, I'm impressed!"

Beatrice

E: "Oops! Heh-heh, my bad."

D: "We'll do better next time, I know it!"

C: "Good that we're getting by!"

B: "Hey, we all did pretty good! Good job!"

A: "Guys, did you hear? We did perfect! Woo-hoo!"

Louise

E: "Hrmh. Maybe they were right about me after all."

D: "Hey, hey, I still finished! That's better than nothing!"

C: "Mm... Yeah. I'll take it."

B: "Bet they didn't think I'd do this good, eh?"

A: "Ha-ha-ha! Yes! I can't believe this! Yes!"

2023 in fics

So. This year was mentally and emotionally exhausting but I said, fuck that, and I've written the most fics ever. Here's a list, ranking my own fics.

super cool, I’m proud of these

So the first category is the fics that I’m extremely proud of and I think they did very well:

Start Again (and Again and Again): (Spider-Man Video Games) Miles/Peter, written for the small fandom bang, as per usual. I know I said it a million times, but first, this fic had only 4 readers, and considering how many months it took to write, I was a bit disheartened. Then SM2 was released, and the readership skyrocketed. I know, you should always write for yourself, but still it was heartwarming to see other people getting back to this ship. (Well, it lasted only for a few month, but you know I won't stop writing these two.)

But wait, there’s more…

the greatest hits

2. could I start again, somehow? (Spider-Man Video Games) Miles/Peter, written as a reaction to SM2

3. in the darkest little paradise (Spider-Man Video Games) Miles/Peter, obligatory tentacle porn, written pre-release

4. I was the dark, you were the light (Star Wars: Jedi: Fallen Order Series) Bode/Cal, do you remember a time when I was writing something other than Spider-Man? Pepperidge farm remembers. When I finished the game, I thought I'd write a million fics for these two, I craved a fix-it so bad. (Also, NOSHIR DALAL did it again, and I fell in love with his character.) And then... I just drifted away, but I'm glad I managed to finish at least one piece!

5. so darkness I became (Spider-Man Video Games) Miles/Peter, written pre-release, a darker look at the symbiote dynamic. a kind of what-if Peter turned Venom

6. there will be no tenderness (Spider-Man Video Games) Miles/Peter, written pre-release, a take on that rooftop scene. Only if we knew what we'd get in the game, lol

7. sose gondoltam arra, hogy többet nem gondolok rád (never thought of not thinking about you ever again) (Spider-Man Video Games) Miles/Peter, written after SM2, because Symkarian = Hungarian, I needed a Symkarian-focused fluff fic

8. hotter than hell (Spider-Man Video Games) Miles/Peter, PWP, Peter is pining, first foray into straight-up PWP

pretty decent

next category is the... fics that got some attention but nothing overwhelming. I don't declare them a flop because I KNOW I write niche shit.

9. bound to fall for you (Spider-Man Video Games) Miles/Peter, PWP, set somewhere in the future, Peter confesses his feelings while drunk

10. Finally Yours (Spider-Man Video Games) Miles/Peter, written pre-release, my first take on a supportive Harry

11. In Another Life (Spider-Man Video Games & Spider-Man 2017 Cartoon) Miles/Peter & Miles/Peter, written pre-release, and it's a crossover, I just love these two variations, so...

12. I'm here at the end of infinity with you (a lot of Spider-Man media, too many to list) Miles/Peter, written pre-game release, I just love the idea of different variants being in love, and I ship them in most media, so naturally I had to write this.

13. I only see him as a friend (the biggest lie I ever said) (Spider-Man Video Games) Miles/Peter, written pre-release, the most fun I've ever had writing a fic, lol

14. say you'll stay with me tonight (Oxenfree) Riley/Jacob, I knew Oxenfree was never a popular fandom, but last time, Alex/Jonax shippers delivered, and there was some fandom activity. Now that the new game has been released with a new main cast, I hoped to get at least a few fics. I think there are only 3 fics all in all for Oxenfree II, and there is literally no other for this ship. 😭😭😭

15. telling all your lies like second nature (God of War) Atreus/Heimdall, I started this year being absolutely insane over Heimtreus lol

16. my name's still on your tongue (Spider-Man Video Games) Miles/Peter, written pre-release, considering it's a ficlet it did better than I expected

the absolute flop

look, I know you shouldn't be a harsh critic, and don't judge a fic by its stats. I still like to look at my underperforming stories. these are the ones that are either too short (drabbles, hey) or somehow they are just so niche, but still I expected a bit more engagement?

17. Pattern of Pain (God of War), Atreus/Heimdall, written for the Candy Heart exchange, I get it, it's too short, but I still love it tho

18. I'm here waiting for you (Spider-Man Video Games) Miles/Peter, written just right now for the holidays, I know everyone is on vacation, I'm still gonna plop this fic here. Btw, I just checked out my list from last year, and I had to laugh that the most underperforming story there is now my most kudosed, so there could be redemption arcs, I guess.

19. A Broken Happy Ever After (Spider-Man Video Games) Miles/Peter, now this fic TANKED HARD. I get it, dark fairy tale is not everyone's cup of tea, but y'all you're missing out on Earth-423, just sayin'

20. Rainy Days (Spider-Man Video Games) Miles/Peter, written pre-release for a drabble party with the person who broke my heart, so I get nauseous looking at this fic, but I'm not gonna delete it.

21. I'm left here on my own (Spider-Man Video Games) Miles/Peter, written pre-release for a drabble party with the person who broke my heart, so I get nauseous looking at this fic, but I'm not gonna delete it.

22. loving so hard it left a scar (Spider-Man Video Games) Miles/Peter, written pre-release for a drabble party with the person who broke my heart, so I get nauseous looking at this fic, but I'm not gonna delete it.

23. you've brought me back to life (Spider-Man Video Games) Miles/Peter, written pre-release for a drabble party with the person who broke my heart, so I get nauseous looking at this fic, but I'm not gonna delete it.
