#she would definitely improve

[kamiraaah]

Silly visual anon back! Imagine Maleficia going full dragon to let the kids in Vovó Bucchi's neighborhood play on her. And, imagine Maleficia also carrying little beans with her mouth.

SILLY VISUAL ANON! Hello! How are you doing?? :D

Maleficia would probably be a little confused… But she would soon find it curious… And she would probably have to be stopped so she wouldn't start adopting the children.

Vovó Bucchi: Come on madam, the children have to go home-... Oh don't you even dare look at me like that! They're not even your children, put the little one down!

Remi and Swimming

Why can’t Remi swim?

That’s a genuine question. Why does Remi, at seventeen years old, not know how to swim?

After some quick research, I found that being unable to swim is actually way more common than I thought. Still, I want to speculate on Remi’s reason.

The Red Cross lists fear as the top reason people cited for not learning to swim. Other reasons I can think of for not learning to swim are: couldn’t afford lessons, didn’t live near a pool or body of water, disability, or simply never made time to learn.

However, in Remi’s case, I think it’s much more likely because of her ability than anything else.

It could be because her parents wanted to wait until she had better control of her ability before putting her in water with other kids. This of course, raises the question of why she didn’t learn before her ability developed. It could also be that someone in her family had an incident in the water, and the family was very cautious after that.

I personally like to believe that Rei had an ability-related incident when Remi was quite young, and her parents wanted to keep Rei out of the water until he could control his ability better. Because it would be mean to take Remi swimming and make Rei stay behind or on land, Remi’s lessons got put off indefinitely until they were forgotten about.

Of course, this scenario also means that Rei never finished learning to swim either.

I also like the idea that their mom was the one who had a swimming accident, and was somewhat traumatized by it and therefore extremely paranoid about putting her kids in the water. This explanation would also mean that Rei probably couldn’t swim.

I will now kindly place here for my own enjoyment, a reminder that Blyke was the one who taught Remi to swim and it was cute as fuck:

Ceroba ramblings (+ Staroba)

Now listen: Ceroba lied about stuff, but never being with anyone else after Chujin passed? She's too stubborn and too emotional to lie about that + she clearly still cares about him (probably always will and won't remarry or have any more kids with anyone else; she just feels to me like the kind of character who wouldn't lie about how much her family will always mean to her). It wasn't a perfect marriage (he kept really important stuff from her for waaay too long and she let him "work himself to death") but the love was there. Just look at how she talks about Chujin (it pains my heart Star doesn't get this kind of attention but then again, Ceroba shouldn't be judged for finding something special in Chujin and not him):

There are TONS more:

Starlo's physically weaker but emotionally stronger. Ceroba's physically stronger but emotionally weaker. These differences sometimes work really well but other times personalities and viewpoints clash (like with staroba imo, already discussed)

Star's the type of person to quickly bounce back no matter what happens or at least never lose hope/optimism (he's still able to smile even after Clover's passing - although that might have to do with how he copes, but still, he's strong enough to at least pretend to be strong).

Ceroba needs Starlo as a friend because she's emotionally weak. That's why she messed up so badly with Kanako and lied to everybody and manipulated Clover. She did horrible things but the deeper meaning behind them doesn't convince me she's a bad person.

"The end justifies the means" is the motto Ceroba lived by before she realized the error of her ways.

... true, Ceroba injected her daughter, but to anyone who might say she didn't care about her (I'll discuss all this in more detail soon):

It’s official? Your girlfriend is now your wife? CONGRATULATIONS!!! May you have many happy years together! (Also, if you ever find out how your awkward autistic ass managed that, please share with the class.)

:D Thank you. Although she has in fact been my wife for over twelve years now! The wedding we were at was her aunt's. If I ever figure it out I'll share the secret, but considering we've been dating since 2006 and I'm still going "???" about it...

Do you think Jax knows the npcs are sentient?

I can see it going either way. Maybe he doesn't know, so he doesn't see any reason to not act out every sadistic whim on them. Or maybe he does, and he doesn't care. Considering how he treats the other characters (throwing Pomni of the truck, petting centipedes in Rahatha's room), knowing the npcs have feelings likely wouldn't change his behaviour.

Pomni, on the other hand, has seen the sentience of the npcs first hand. She formed a brief yet powerful emotional with one. She saw him hurt, love, give up, get up, and even die. Pomni's seen an npc be just as human as she is.

And she hasn't seen just how shittily Jax is prone to treating them.

At least, not yet.

I watched inside out 2 with friends the other day and had fun doing it, but the personification of anxiety did worry me a bit

because, like I saw years ago with Virgil in sanders sides, the second someone personifies anxiety, you get people saying “getting medicated will kill the sweet little person in your head” and I cannot describe HOW DANGEROUS THAT THINKING IS

anxiety meds quite literally have improved the quality of all areas of my life. I’m able to do so many things now that I couldn’t before without a lot of stress and exhaustion!!

I’m healthier and happier. And while my anxiety hasn’t gone away, it’s *manageable* now. I can cope when I do have bouts of heavy anxiety, and I’m not getting full blown anxiety attacks and adrenaline spikes constantly.

saying that getting medicated will hurt or kill a personified emotion in your head is a dangerous thing to say, because people will believe it. Especially young people.

while not everyone will benefit from medication, it’s important to keep that doorway open for the people that might! Please do not use something fictional to scare people away from something that might help them.

i'd still love to see a farming sim introduce a rival marriage system that let's you influence who gets with who (à la fire emblem awakening or fates' pairing system.) i think a wonderful life would've been a great game to implement that in bc i feel all the marriage candidates could interact with each other in really interesting ways, especially if that marriage system also allowed for same sex relationships.

Thinking about [this HC here], The ironic part about Sketch's poor diet before meeting Wanda is that Skitch knows how to cook.

They aren't top-shelf, but Skitch definitely knows more than the basics and fundamentals of cooking.

Like, yes, you shouldn't over-beat the eggs, and yes, the cream goes last in the sauce so it doesn't curdle, yes, you want *this* specific cut of meat because it's less tough when making blah blah blah..... But can't we just order in though?-

You kinda pick up things when your childhood friend is a chef...

Ordering takeout is just a hell of a lot easier than constantly buying food to prepare and cook later. Being with Wanda, someone who enjoys cooking more than buying ready-made food, definitely makes that feel less tedious when they're, say, making dinner together.

Sometimes, on very dull days in Dagrun, Sonja’s mind will wander onto how different things could be now if she’d been more selfish with her choices. She’ll think back on her (lack of) time with Capsize a lot.

Capsize wasn’t a Champion, but Jordan is. Tucker is. Tom was. She isn’t, neither were the Modsteps and Nade. Being second best is just a pitfall they all ran head first into.

She’d seen the looks she’d given Jordan. Recognized the analytical once-overs and the critical gleam in her eye, all that was left of her to say was What makes you better than me?.

Sonja gets it. Of course she does! She knows that feeling much too intimately. Any minor attention will always default to Tucker, whether that be items, shit as they may be, or words of praise, it all goes to His champion.

Maybe if they had a heart to heart? Maybe if Sonja had warned her what the cost was for not being the favorite, things could’ve gone differently.

She’s sure that Capsize would’ve just said Ianite ain’t like that, lass. Or something along those lines, anyway.

How different could Lady Ianite be, truly? She’s related to her brothers and that’s not a very strong start. Sonja can’t blame her for not bringing Capsize back, the goddess was weak and it most likely exhausted her more to do something of that nature, she still can’t help but be wary. There were no funeral rites for the pirate, no grave, and no place to mourn, just her remains being treated as kibble for The Lady’s pet dragon.

Yeah, Sonja thinks, Jordan’s lost goddess is no better than her brothers.

She stops from mindlessly doodling in her journal, and goes back to writing down the properties of things around her that she’s researched.

Flux has strange reactions when mixed with living matter, perhaps she could…Those types of ideas stay as scribbled almost unreadable notes in her thaumonomicon. It never goes past the fantasy stage.
