crazy how ive been seeing people absolutely losing their minds over the way amy is written in the generations remaster and how she was character assassinated and her crush on sonic was removed and im playing it right now and the literal first thing she does when you free her from white space is call sonic cute which is nowhere close to what she said in the original. wtf are you people on about
#and after that she was like ''omg you got me a ring ? wait thats not the kind of ring i was hoping for..'' or something along those lines#which i cant remember if that was in the original or not but either way . what do you MEAN they got rid of her crush .....#i havent played much though so maybe her crush really was toned down in certain areas but even if it was ..........................#1. why would that be character assassination why do you want her feelings for a boy to be her primary character trait so bad#2. like i said in the post theyve literally added a reference to her crush where there wasnt one originally#i dont think theyre trying to erase it. i think you guys are just getting mad over nothing .#sonic x shadow generations#sxsg spoilers#and like i agree to an extent that a lot of the rewrites feel unnecessary#and im not particularly a fan of the idea of them altering the story content of an existing game#but the stuff with amy feels like a massive overreaction#is it just so/namy shippers who think sonic and amy have to be together or the world will end who are talking like that.#because i wouldnt be surprised if this was the case

This is about Hindley:
«After a short suspense it was opened by a tall, gaunt man, without neckerchief, and otherwise extremely slovenly; his features were lost in masses of shaggy hair that hung on his shoulders; and his eyes, too, were like a ghostly Catherine’s, with all their beauty annihilated».
And this is about Heathcliff:
«a tall man dressed in dark clothes, with dark face and hair. He leant against the side, and held his fingers on the latch, as if intending to open for himself. “Who can it be?” I thought. “Mr. Earnshaw?”»
Heathcliff is the character most often described as tall (and altogether big), with Hindley also being described as tall, as well as Linton, Heathcliff’s son, being said he was tall for his age (which is fitting).
I find so juicy that Heathcliff and Hindley look somewhat alike, at least structure-wise, enough to make Nelly think for one moment Heathcliff could have been him, and scratch the idea because no, that's not Hindley's voice. You resemble the man who destroyed you. It goes both ways. His child looks like his sister. One could think it was her child instead. A stranger will think the boy your son. You'll smile at the irony.
#«“And this young man is—” / “Not my son assuredly!”#Heathcliff smiled again as if it were rather too bold a jest to attribute the paternity of that bear to him.»#I didn't remember Hareton being described as tall and for now indeed I can't find any mention hinting he was particularly tall#I did find this one line highlighted and what can I say I adore it#“How little did I dream that Hindley would ever make me cry so!” said by Cathy#I adore when little glimpses of the fact they were fond of each other show up#I also find this so funny: “the entrance of Heathcliff relieved me in some measure from my uncomfortable state”#Hilarious that everyone is so unlikeable Lockwood finds solace in Heathcliff’s presence. You must be the first lol#Of course it's in great part because of Heathcliff why they're like that#(although in Hareton's case it kinda seems he is mainly overall very jealous and tense; very reminiscent of kid Heathcliff)#Lockwood does notice something though. This is what he thinks when Heathcliff talks to Catherine:#“The tone in which the words were said revealed a genuine bad nature. I no longer felt inclined to call Heathcliff a capital fellow”#So interesting that Heathcliff’s vitriol is so clear that it makes Lockwood reevaluate#Really the second Catherine is the person whose existence grates more on Heathcliff’s nerve ugh#Super interesting considering how she is otherwise relatively harmless. She's no Hindley and yet. It makes all the sense though in some way#Good for her tbh haha#God I love this book beyond words#Anyway. Back on my point. Elordi would have made a very good Hindley#I talk too much#Wuthering Heights#Hindley Earnshaw#Heathcliff

Why do the FEH devs insist on ignoring Nabatean lore so much?
I recently had a surprisingly cordial discussion on redshit with someone about the "nabateans = colonisers" take, and one of the main points raised was that the game was purposedly foggy around Nabateans/Sothis/their story because it would obviously favor a certain narrative (and thus make another narrative look, uh, not that marketable anymore).
To be honest, we still ended up with a product that had a lead go "this race and its blood* is the reason why the world sucks" and yet that lead is still marketable enough to have raunchy cipher cards and 5 FEH alts, so I actually wonder if, while pissing on that lore had that purpose, it was ultimately pointless since Supreme Leader can still sell goodies despite her incarnation in FE16.
And not only Supreme Leader - but the entirety of WC where we basically have 70% of the cast crying/complaining about their "mixed blood" or lack of and basically adding their 10 cents to the "this race and its blood is the reason why the world sucks".
I mean, can you imagine Sylvain selling any goodies and alts if Flayn replied to his "wah wah people only are kind to me and want to fuck me because I have Nabatean blood :(" by some uncharacteristic "good for you, I have to hide my ears, had to dye my hair, have to lie about my family because if the truth is found out about my identity, I will be hunted and vivisected like an animal and harvested for parts by people who call my kin abominations - just like what happens in the game where the same people who call my kin "abominations" ally with a classmate who calls me a creature and pretends I am incapable of human feelings based on my race".
FE Fodlan's main selling point is its cast of students, for various reasons, but even if I tried to kid myself, Nopes and FEH made it clears : students are the main selling point.
If you spare more time and attention to the Nabatean plot/lore, the students either grow from "likeable" to "despicable" or worse, you won't gaf about them because yeah sure, Hilda might be upset because people expect things from her due to her crust, but it would feel like a "peanut" compared to Seteth's irrational (granted, it's not so irrational since GW exists) fear that Flayn's newest friends would dissect her if they learnt she was a Nabatean, and being conflicted by finally letting her have human friends and form bonds she crave, or protect her due to the trauma from the genocide of their species.
Don't get me wrong, I love peanuts, I mean, not everyone can have a tragik of loaded backstory!
And yet, given how this verse's DNA is "can you fight against the red emperor who uwus about you", they had to add copious amounts of Earl Grey to their games so there's no clear-cut factions :
The "Your alien blood and its influence on the world corrupted it, so I want to reform it under my command" vs "I don't want to die and you oppose me due to my race and side with the people who genocided my kin"
is turned to :
"Your alien blood Crests and its your church's influence on the world corrupted it, so I want to reform it under my command"
"I don't want to die and you oppose me due to my race and side with the people who genocided my kin"
Sprinkle with the cast's hammering here and there that the "reforms" might be needed - but never develop on what they are - and add a few baseless and groundless takes as a toping (basically everything Claude says about tolerance and the general "isolationism/foreign policy" stuff) and you get FE Fodlan where the Red Emperor's war isn't seen as the catastrophe it is in the other entries from the series!
Now, for FEH...
FWIW, the F!F!Billy's trailer had them try to explain that Sothis was a bit pissed about her slaughtered/massacred children when Nopes never gave any reason about why she was pissed - maybe on Billy's behalf bcs Jerry's dead, but come on, she would indeed deserve the medal of the worst parent in the franchise if that was the case, since Billy can murder her daughter without Sothis taking over ! - but given that they cannot write/go against the source game those characters are from.
They tried a bit, with B!Supreme Leader and Hegemongard's FB, but then it stopped (because she had no "new unit" released since then lol) and I can understand why : Hegemongard came out before the Supreme Emblem, and Hegemongard hates dragons who are seen/perceived as gods by some of their human followers. Come FE17, and now Supreme Emblem accepts Alear because they are "one of the good ones". We can come up with HCs and details and talk about what are emblems or if Hegemongard's views were only hers at the end of AM all day long... But imo, Doylist wise, it still feels it's a retcon because the devs from the main games tried to scrap and remove the most "controversial" traits she had.
For the other characters... Well, you see what Marianne is in FEH (but even in her base games), she's one of the few characters who reacts - in a way - to the partial history about relics and demonic beasts and all... only to give sad uwus to Maurice.
FE16 (and Nopes) refused to have any "student" character react to the Nabatean lore/reveal, about what are relics and all. There are no lines, Claude shared some knowledge in the explore section of VW's last chapter, but we don't have anyone muse or think or even talk about what are relics, what are crests, and what kind of fuckery their ancestors or the ancient humans of Fodlan did.
With that in mind, FEH can't do much : either they write Marianne in a retcon-y way like what happened for Hegemongard (and they're not afraid to piss on characterisation, look at Lyon!), or they flanderise her "character" and develop her around 3 lines she had in the game in her paralogue, and continue to give sad uwus about Momo when he was at best a guy who slaughtered and murdered so much that he abused the Nabatean turned into a relic to the point where he turned in a demonic beast even if he had a matching crest, or at worst, had been part of Nemesis's piñata party in Zanado and was something of a genocider.
Tldr :
Why FE Fodlan never gaf about Nabateans : earl grey + the marketable cast has to stay marketable and you can't sell peanuts at the same price you'd sell swordfish
Why FEH dgaf about Nabatean lore : they can't afford to retcon characters + they have to sell peanut alts with the same seasoning they had in their base game.
For what it's worth though, I think FEH is more daring than the base game(s) given how they gave more lines and screentime to Rhea - through her different alts - than GW. And they even designed her Halloween!alt's lines to piss on some of Claude's assertions, while the various FB involving members of the church also - indirectly - reply to some accusations thrown their way in FE16 when, FE16, never gave them an opportunity or lines to explain that those takes were full of dung.
*"but random, maybe she doesn't know that the crests she often decries is "dragon blood"!"
It's highly debatable, especially given what she and Hubert throw to Billy in CF - but even if she doesn't, Doylist wise we still have a character who, knowingly or not, says "this race and its blood* is the reason why the world sucks" and who is never called out on her prejudice. That's more of an issue regarding the general writing though, she has to be a red emperor and took pages from Ashnard's book, and yet, the player must still feel bad and want to romance her, so her mindest/goal cannot be looked at too closely, because, I guess, even the devs thought it would be difficult to romance her (thus sell goodies!) if more light was shed on the "blood from this race corrupts our people" schtick -> which in turn would also make characters whose backstory and gimmick rely on "crying about crests" be way less likeable, thus marketable and able to sell goodies.
#anon#replies#heroes salt#fodlan nonsense#they can't develop stuff about nabateans else the people would wonder if this thing existed in FE16/Nôpes#and we all know people siding with the Agarthans would have like#a harder time justifying being allied to the Agarthans even if they don't know everything that transpired between them and the nabs#and yet Pelleas is accused of being a moron for listening to Izuka when he didn't even knew Izuka was the one who#developed the feral subhuman drug and earnt a PHD so#in the end everything's always about money#I'd buy in a heartbeat any Hilda (fe4) figurine#but i guess thes devs/money makers believe that antagonists at least in this franchise don't sell as well as marketable characters#like prime waifus#hell even UO started to print figurines of the main heroines but none as of yet of Alcina#can you imagine if the uwu overprotective dad joke#that is basically the crux of the Flayn'n'Seteth's relationship#was more developed in the lines of Seteth being afraid that Flayn would trust humans too much and reveal the truth about her#in a gesture of friendship and trust! and it would turn against her#I mean isn't it basically why the nabs are pissed at Adrestia??#Rhea trusted Willy about her pointy ears and now Willy's scion wants them out of Fodlan because their ears are pointy#or Flayn really getting along with people but ultimately not being able to trust them fully because she cannot tell them the truth#and maybe her support friends and all either pulling what everyone does with Marianne#or have the issue resolved in a more meaningful way like Nabs finally accepting to trust humans again in a plot relevant cutscene#and Flayn's final supports only being available after that cutscene#but we couldn't have that at all because again#Earl Grey + peanuts#can you imagine Sylvain getting a convo with Flayn post reveal? Where he feels like trash for wahwahing about his crust?#that's not the route the games wanted to walk on#so FEH can't walk it either#I swear this isn't a post asking for a new rhealt lol

i have something to say 👩🏽🦯➡️
#the evolution in halsey’s music is what i expected from solo harry#i’ve been listening to her so much this past week or two and well. i’ve been thinking#obviously i think she’s a great artist. and the more i time i spend thinking abt it the more strongly i believe this#she’s giving me what i wanted harry styles to give me#and there’s a case to be made about artistic integrity vs art for the sake of capitalistic gain#which is where i think they primarily diverge#because with hs1 there was no real guarantee of success. commercial or critical#there was an existing (pop) fan base but none of us knew what he’d give us and whether we’d like it (enough to chart it anyway)#debuting with a 6 min rock ballad was a ballsy move and it remains one of his best work for a reason#hs1 as a body of songs will survive the test of time for a reason#it set fine line up for success with the average fan. and then he sold his soul to the devil with album 3#halsey has been on a completely different trajectory#with every album she caters less and less to critics and makes the art she Wants to make. tells the story she Wants to tell#she stopped chasing the charts a long long time and it shows in her writing!#anyway. if u get it then u get it and if you don’t then u dont#seedpost

every day i think of xmen evolution wanda and everyday i wonder if- while she does have the fake happy memories with magneto- how does she actually FEEL about him when he's brought up or she thinks about him
is there just this underlying anger/rage but she cant ever place why so she ignores it ....... does she just feel numb ....
#snap chats#an idea ive wanted to try exploring for Ever but i cant be serious for more than two seconds vjLAKJLKJ#mastermind could only put illusions in her head not change how she feels no.... shrug...#like yk what i mean ... you cant control or explain feelings they just exist. you can THEORIZE why theyre existin but they just come to be#so i wonder if internally her brain knows somethings wrong but because its a feeling it cant be justified to her#she was p upset about him dying against apocalypse so ... shrug ... but is it because she loves/cares for him#or because she has those underlying questions that now she cant get the answer to... prob not but im forced to wonder#if she has all these great memories with him why does she never see him ... etc etc..#sometimes i think when pietro told her the memories were fake on the subway thats why she got mad#like it was confirming something in her she didnt want to already admit or something along those lines#idk. im still forever miffed by the potential lost with magneto and his kids#just one extra season .. an extra ep to explore them more idk .... just feels like there coulda been more done..#oh wanda my dear wanda i wanted so much more for you in evo..

B'Elanna, Neelix, Tuvok and Chakotay needed to star in an episode where they just talked about their different beliefs and approaches to spirituality/religion. Paired off and all together. I need to gain more insight. I need characterization and I need it to be messy.
#B'Elanna's difficulty with Klingon myths and religion (especially due to her internalized racism)#Chakotay's current strong belief in his own spirituality despite his initial complete rejection of it (and how B'Elanna seems to admire#and have talked with Chakotay about it extensively in the past given how many specifics she's aware of)#Neelix's belief in an afterlife being the only thing that comforted him after his entire family was killed - the knowledge that he would be#able to reunite with them again and that knowledge being ripped away from him#Does he still believe? Are there other aspects of his previous spiritual beliefs that are thrown into question?#Just because it isn't 'real' does it make it unimportant? How do we even know whether or not it's 'real'?#He died and doesn't remember reaching that tree and seeing his family - does that mean it didn't happen?#Tuvok's line in 'Innocence' about how he's begun to have doubts about whether or not a katra exists and what happens after someone dies#and his firm ties to Vulcan spirituality and ritual#ALL SO INTERESTING!!!!!!!!#star trek voyager#I don't think it'd be a calm or healthy conversation either - they're not therapists and I don't think anyone but Chakotay#would be particularly careful with his words#and before you say Tuvok's a Vulcan so he would be let me remind you that Tuvok told B'Elanna to her face that he thought Klingons#were basically savages - he is INDELICATE to say the least#Neelix is careful with his words bc he's a people pleaser for survival but also he has a tendency to bother people and be overly pushy#and I think he'd do a lot of research and be the one leading the conversation/the reason they get on the topic and continue on it#B'Elanna wouldn't want to talk about it. She wants to talk about it the least. But she must!!!! Bc the episode demands it!!#st voy

I have very little to say about the royals currently, but I do still follow them (like the main family, not just H&M) and I think the lack of work William and Catherine have done since becoming P&PoW is fucking ridiculous, and I don't understand why more people aren't talking about it. Especially William.
Instead we have to talk about Harry's dumbass doing the 50th ill-informed interview as if any of this matters beyond him and his family. The work ethic of the future head of state and his wife matters infinitely more.
#kate has my sympathies because she was clearly very sick for quite some time#that is a genuine excuse BUT outside of that she is lazy#has been before her diagnosis and continues to be now that she seems better#there is a garden party today . . . VE celebrations this whole week#and either are showing up to any of the events outside of the ones that include the whole family#the d&d of gloucester are doing more than them and that is embarrassing#why is an 80 year old man who is 32nd in line showing up more than the literal prince of wales#and this is why the talk about 'working royals' is silly to me#none of these people work so being a lazy royal is close to be non existent#i always get in trouble when i talk about this but i can't see how when it's so blatant

i really love this. the imposition and projection of happiness because thoughtful explorations of autonomy are too sad and horrible to entertain apparently that is
#i need everyone to reblog this post one million more times so that collectively we all broach even#closer to an actual real true understanding of mikus place in the world as both a fictional character and real entity I need everyone to#actually explore this line of thought with sincerity because the questions she poses with self awareness and autonomy#and art as a medium having a life of its own divorced from the artist is incredible Her having an ego of her own that stands separate#from any producer (to the point that her name notorioisly overwrites that of the artist) is incredible Her similtaneously only being able#to exist as an amalgamation of everyone who has ever loved her and thought to imbue a part of themselves in her is sooooooooooo#ITS SOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#she is both nothing and everything a real life entity and fictional character#shhniiifffffleeeessss#everyone listen to unknown mother goose.

More about a certain beast masquerading as a human -
Teaspoon translation hasn't gotten to that point yet, so I'll keep on checking but in her expedition dialogues with Barney, Flayn goes :
Is there something amiss with my face? I like to think my features are of a similar and pleasing proportion.
Traditional reaction from a character who is stared at by the avatar.
In JP though...
わたくしの顔、何か変でしょうか? 目も 鼻も口も、皆さんと同じだと思うのですが
(years of reading naruto raw scans made me recognise 目 lol)
Google'd it goes like this :
Is there something strange about my face? My eyes, nose, and mouth are the same as everyone else's
Sure, you can interpret it as Flayn saying she's like everyone else aka has "similar proportion" to everyone else... but with the context - and giving how Flayn doesn't mention her ears at all! - it's much more interesting that despite being a "creature masquerading as a human", Flayn desperatly wants to be seen (to continue masquerading!!!!) as someone who isn't strange, but we could also infer that she is worried about her nature and appearance : she's not strange, after all, she is pretty similar to a human!
Which leads to the second point :
It makes me very happy indeed to know that you think of me as a friend
わたくしのことを、お友達だと思って くれているなら嬉しいのですが……
It's more or less (according to GT) the same thing, but note Flayn's ellipse, she'd be happy if Barney - out of anyone - would consider her to be a friend. Is she doubtful that it would never happen because she knows Barney has ties to Agarthans? Or she is just afraid that she cannot make friends with humans, because she's not one of them?
That friend thing is developed in her exploration lines :
Ask about their friends.: Do you think the others consider me as one of their friends? 皆さんはわたくしのことを、仲間だと 思ってくれているのでしょうか……?
She feels insecure about how she is perceived by the others, aka the members of the AG cast - even if she joined their ranks and has been fighting with them!
(it almost makes me think of a scenario where she joins a class, then her Leader ask her to stop having power over humans and says she should have been comatose somewhere else instead of wanting to reunite with her family, after organised her abduction and exsanguination, so she leaves that class, but her former classmates - who participated in her rescue mission - can now kill her because they believe she is a monster and a cruel beast without any regard for human life. Her life would suck in that scenario!)
Long story, short story : Flayn wishes to make friends with humans (and even agarthans, if she knows about Barney!) but is still worried that they will shun her, or straight up refuse to befriend her if she is perceived as different (or if her identity is revealed).
I guess both games could have tackled that issue - especially in her supports with two lords - but that would mean ditching your pot of Hresvelg Grey, and we can't have that.
Instead, we have a very fine cup of tea, while Flayn gets reduced screentime by virtue of being associated to Rhea, who is BaD bcs she exists.
#3 nopes#flayn stuff#funny how one of her lines has her wishing someone would confide in her regarding matters of the heart#like this is obviously a manu reference and given their bond in Houses#it's criminal that Manu is stuck in Adrestia but Church BaD so here goes coherency#JP!Flayn feels more afraid/worried about her identity as a nabatean being revealed#and surprised that she would effectively have friends#given how her so called classmates can turn against her in Tru Piss because she uh#doesn't follow the one who organised her capture and torture#You bet that yep she had every reason to be doubtful about human friendship#given how easily it was pissed on in Tru Piss like BESF members don't even have a quote with her#even when she used to be a BE member#if Flayn knows Barney is an Agarthan though#more power to her for wanting to befriend them like she just like her totes not aunt chose to trust Barney despite their heritage and power#because it doesn't automatically means that Barney is a foe hell in AG they help them and are a pretty chill person#sadly for them Fraud's route and SB exist

I gotta know if emma-may was into the whole death-robots thing
#we dont know anything about her augh#i do think it would be funny if she was like 'i can excuse the evil robots but i draw the line at you forgetting to get me a christmas gift#wtf is the book of bill we shouldve gotten a fiddleford origin story. tell me about the tennessee hog farm. tell me about emma-may.#give me a whole chapter on how to play the banjo or something idk. more info on the insanity arc on the evil robots.#i dont care about his ass -> ⚠️#other plains of existence? no no no tell me about the tennessee hog farm#the brainrot is brainrotting#you know how it is#🌲🌠#imagining it in like movie format. kind of like the video from society of the blind eye#but its like 50% scientific findings from the project and 50% things he doesnt wanna forget#because i fear that memories are so intwined that trying to erase one thing could have unforseen consequences#okay okay ill shut up now

for all my babbling, my brilliant friend remains too mature of a story to me still, not because it's out of reach to me in terms of topic, but in terms of feeling and experience instead. so i'm really looking forward to being consumed by it repeatedly as i age.
#watched a maria interview and for me this is angelina jolie saying how#she still loves the clash but opera offers her space for her experience because it's immense enough to hold it#i am paraphrasing but that's what i have yet to experience with mbf#i've been going through this kind of thing a lot lately#knowing something exists and recognising it as true but feeling it so explosively when it actually happens to you#that it ends up as something completely different in your head once it exists on a personal plan with your specifics#although i often have... that big of a reaction to bad things even when i know them as my own#dylanlila.mp3#ferranteposting#like i don't think i would be as affected by maria (2024) if i haven't lived with someone#who experienced what she experienced in that movie. and i think opera is truly one of the rare forms of art#that can capture the emotional background of that... that's how i feel about lila in book 4#the ending specifically. i witnessed that flavour of pain from a close relative and i carry it in my body now too#nothing keeps you going like a long family line of 'difficult' and 'estranged' women does

Been a bit quiet (aside from story posts that I occasionally draft) but I've been archiving a lot of old stuff including my OG Fletcher legacy to have easy access to it in the docs (and maybe get some inspiration/thoughts for the characters who are still relevant in my verse by seeing how their original development went) and damn one of my main takeaways was that I absolutely slept on Kyle and Lyra as a couple. Now that I have a special soft spot for couples that are best friends first I see their beauty and I love them both separately and together😭
#sims#ts4#sims 4#kyle fletcher#lyra brighton#I'll admit something: back in 2016 I was full on simping for kyle and regretted giving him lyra because-#-I wanted more of a self insertish spouse for him hahahaha#like a “not like other girls” shy girlie who's a bit out of this world that was more like me#and lyra is a tough presence (but man I see her deeper now and she got some development privately and she's also so vulnerable!)#so I didn't connect with them at the time as a couple#I mean the legacy also didn't do them justice#but I kept giving them both different spouses#and I liked them both with their recent spouses but they lacked the wow factor (ironically for kyle it was lyra's sister lillian)#and for lyra it was owen (they were good but it felt a bit one sided on owen's part) and then a female character whose name I've changed#but it's like when I put kyle and lyra together again everything clicked. they have potential to rise so high in my ship ranks#fun fact: lillian is dating another kyle's former love interest right now. evelien (I redid her in ts4 and spelled her name in a dutch way)#alsoooo the OG fletcher legacy will turn 10 this year and for this occasion I want to sort all of the heir-spouse duos for good#there are like a few that are still WIP. some heirs *cough* katherine *cough* got done really dirty with the spouses#also the founders gen is a headache. do I doom claimee again#and I want to continue the legacy too to gen 10 and beyond!#because it got tricky in gen 8 with two separate lines now so it doesn't really exist beyond 8 anymore (aside from mirene's kids in 9)#who also need new spouses I guess#so yeah it's gonna be so much fun idk if I document all of it but will try to show highlights because I mean this is where it all started

"The outer reaches of space remain unexplored by humankind to this day, but its greed is relentless. We grasp and yearn and hunger for knowledge— answers to questions we cry out into the endless void expecting to understand, expecting the stars to respond.

#obscura#edit:rome#nuclearocs#nuclearedits#ok so. ok hi. red and i made a new universe hi. sorry. morris quincy victor and eleanor belong to them the rest belong to meee :3#the pictures i used are basically the patron saints of their occupation / line of work! so that's not what they look like#anyway it's a mix of paranormal stuff + lovecraftian horror + sort of zombies :^)#they're like. the domains of lucifer (demons) behemoth (zombies) and leviathan (the eldritch horrors that happen in space and oceans)#who are like. the three evils that torment the mortal realm#it's all in a historical setting kind of parallel to our world? so a bunch of historic events are the same but it's like#a little bit more advanced with technology but at the same time it's not. it's Just A Little Different y'know#rome's sister went to space for a mission and just straight up went missing which prompts him to become an astronomer#and he's the first one to start speculating the existence of leviathan as eldritch god#morris is a technician at the academy who has an angel stuck in his computer#eve is a nun and herbalist who witnesses the influence of behemoth firsthand through some sick travelers#that she and the other nuns of her convent take care of#anatoly and quincy are both from different space missions who end up as the only survivors who are not basically a plant#the other two survivors have secretly been replaced with some sort of parasites. annihilation style if you've seen that movie#eleanor is a demonologist and works together with her brother victor who's her cameraman#clarence is a blind psychic who lost her sight because of an angel trying to warn her and in return got her psychic abilities#and lazarus is one of the two most famous demonologists in the world but his wife (the other one) passed away#so now he's alone and since he's not from an upper class family like his wife was he's not all that loved as she was#there's a lot going on but it's SO fucking fun to work on so far. feel free to send any asks i would love to explain more :^)#if you've made it this far also hi i love you. kiss for you

Albedo knowing he's a homunculus just means he never had to acknowledge his mom got fucked to have him because she DIDNNT NEED TO so. Between that and what most of his memories of her say about her? He just assumed that his mother didn't have sex because that's his mom y'know!!! His mom that's never interacted with a man long term in his life and is emotionally the 🕴️ emoji! The only other person she regularly interacts with is her best friend Alice and they're just friends, right?
Literally no one in his life understood why he was so shaken up by the revelation that his mom gets some and REGULARLY
#hes not oblivious hes just in denial#like no one likes to be reminded that their parents have sex but everyone else has to come to terms with it because they exist#and for most people#the only way they can come into being is by their parents at least attempting to have a child the typical way (fucking)#but Albedo's always known he's literally built diffy so hes never been forced to realize his mom had a life outside of him:(#(and she's fairly good at hiding her trail😭 he actually just didn't know rhine and Alice have been dating for 100+ yrs NOR did he know#that rhine has more than one friend😭 she just sets him on an experiment and is like brb i need to do something)#(alice is something)#also assuming that she's never personally known another man is crazy work because Albedo SHOULD know enough about alchemy by now#to know how a homunculus is made!! unless rhine never taught him the birds and the chalk 😭#but she DID evidently teach him the art of khemia which seems to be along the lines of bio alchemy so#you'd think he'd have some idea???#but i personally believe he focused more on the physical alchemy once coming to Mondstadt opposed to bio alchemy#like if rhine and sucrose were biochemists he'd be closer to a regular chemist you feel?#like he definitely knows his way around their field but honestly working with biology probably reminded him too much of his momma:(#but he liked alchemy enough to continue down that path so he ended up just down a different route than her#idk im just yapping now#methinks#rhinedottir
