I was talking with someone the other day and they mentioned they were vegan, so I was like, oh, I have been wanting to try making some vegan cheese!
They asked if I was vegan, and I said no, my friends are.
And that's how I learned not everyone goes ridiculously above and beyond to cook things their dietary restricted friends can eat.

It's so miserable making side characters for a story and getting attached because now not only are you obsessed with a guy that only exists in your head even if they existed out of your head they'd still be basically just in your head. Like no you guys have to trust me they're so deep and intricate no none of this stuff ever comes up you just have to believe me and like them as much as I do
#rat rambles#oc posting#ofc then comes the fight of wanting to make them more relevant but having to pick your battles#bonus points if theyre not even a side character theyre like. a shadow on the wall thats implied to exist. screams.#bonus bonus points if you can't even bring them up because itd give away stuff the audience isn't supposed to know#I am eternally obsessed with Them but I cant ever talk abt Them because its pretty important to me that I keep this particular secret#in general Ive been trying to not talk abt this story plot wise too much because I wanna make it real someday but man it's rough sometimes#especially since theres just full characters that as I currently have things planned wont even come up in the comic#well They kind of will. but only barely. as in their existence will be implied. and we'll only sort of see part of them like once.#and I love them so much theyre so silly and fun plus their mere existence adds a whole other layer to a member of the main cast#but I have already decided I will not be revealing this stuff to the public so they remain trapped in my head#plus even if I did reveal them no one currently would give much a shit lol#I gotta make the comic real first and then in like another decade I can maybe post a sketch of them <3#but first I have a billion other things I need to do before Im ready to start that comic#including but not limited to finalizing raiden's design 😔#after taking a hill break and thinking on it some more I have someeeee ideas of how to maybe improve things?#my main two goals now are to make their silhouette more plush like and make their clothes more fantasy esc#and I have some extremely vague ideas for both but nothing concrete#I might mess around with shifting them to having traits from a different animal#I dont want to but if it helps with the silhouette problem then I think its worth considering#but yeah I think the big issue is that the rest of the cast are mostly built out of large simple shapes while raiden has bits that arent#mainly their tail but I also feel like theyre just lacking notable defining shapes in general#so the goal is to give them more noticable shapes in their design and make the silhouette even more simple#no I dont know How Im going to do any of that but Ill figure smth out eventually#not tonight tho its late

i really wish people could learn to appreciate canon relationships instead of turning everything into ships and this being the only way they're able to consider it
#usually i enjoy shipping a lot. i'm romantic as fuck.#not in the typical sense of like...having the character trait of being romantic#but in the sense of romantic relationships being very important to me and occupying my mind a lot. its kind of always been that way#so this is rare coming from me#but good god there was one friendship between 2 characters recently which i got really really invested in. it felt so unique. so specific.#so rich in potential and so special. like i haven't seen anyone do this dynamic quite like it before#and then people started shipping the two and it ruined it. no this doesn't make it more interesting. it doesn't make it 'tragic'.#all it does is give one half of the dynamic another L as if she doesn't have enough of those already in canon#and it's not in a catharic way of the suffering that comes from it being meaningful. it's just a cheap way to get some sadness points.#AND it also breaks up a really interesting canon relationship. i'm no stranger to not following canon's lead when it comes to ships but thi#one genuiely is just more interesting and makes the story better.#in a BEST case scenario turning these two into a ship adds to a parallel between them & a different pair#since that other pair is clearly more romantic or at least closer to it#but i dont think it needs that. i dont think it needs it that much. and some people dont ship it for this purpose anyway#not to mention im getting so fucking PISSED at this parallel bcs now it's almost the only way in which anyone mentions my fav character#who has more going on than being a parallel to someone else. shut up about it shut the fuck up about it i dont fucking CARE anymore.#WHEN YOU MAKE FAN CONTENT OF HER MAKE IT FOR THE SAKE OF HER FOR ONCE.#im not gonna tag it but god the fandom went so downhill in neglecting canon and overwriting it with things that are worse so fast i'm just#so fucking disappointed.#i should replay the game to remind myself that it was actually good but i kind of dont feel like it bcs of the bitterness the fandom left m#augh

i dont like what theyve done to kazehikis voicebank for his vocaloid release i think it sounds bad. he sounds like a million other vocal synths which is sad because the entire reason i like him is because his utau banks are so unique. i mean i understand not wanting to make the vocaloid bank sound exactly like an existing utau bank but he doesnt fucking sound like kazehiki. except for the most like whisper-y parts but outside of that he just sounds like a fucking kindergartener or some random woman depending on how hes tuned. and its BAD im sorry but it sucks so bad. and thats not even touching on the fact that hes a v6 ai voicebank and the way the ai is implemented sucks all the soul and intentionality out of vocaloid as a medium

four years for this show...
#IM SORRY. ITS JUST. IM SO. HHHHHRGN#its fine. its good. its entertaining to say the least#but from a writing perspective......#im not an anti i am the worlds biggest helluva boss enjoyer the hellaverse is SO SPECIAL TO ME#but.. the more i see about hazbin s1......#how in over four years was this what you came up with. how is the pacing this insane. how is this character treatment ok.... PLEASE#my sorta toxic trait is that as someone obsessed with media analysis; narrative devices; and story structure -#as well as just. someone who is an aspiring showrunner/creator working on my own huge projects -#is that every time i come across a movie or show that i think is done in a really lacking way. all i can think about is how i would#have done it instead#(this happens in a non-critical way too tbf if i really enjoy a book or game i'll be like they should let me make a based on film)#but hazbin. hazbin. all i have right now is 'i could fix her' in my head#I WOULD TREAT THESE CHARACTERS RIGHT I WOULD GIVE THEM THE NARRATIVE THEY DESERVE#there is. so much potential here. how is the execution so lacking#mine#good ideas!!!! good moments!!!!!!!! THE OVERALL CONSISTENT NARRATIVE IS NOT DOING SO HOT#as a side note though i really think this is why helluva is doing so much better in terms of pacing and writing. the structure of that show#is so much more accommodating to a long intricate story WHILE weaving in a billion different character stories#8 episodes for hazbin is insane season 1 needed twice as much#nyx crit tag

It's been a while since I came up here to bitch about something absolutely unimportant so here I am
People who have good vision don't realise how good they have it, because wdym I can only cosplay specific characters, because my eyes are so bad that without my glasses I'd exist like an amoeba..?
And yea yea, I know, "you can cosplay characters who have no glasses, cosplay should be fun yada yada I'm sure it won't brother anyone"
Brother it bothers ME!
It bothers me!! It bothers me SO much!!!
Just like my eye color. Like I thought mutations survive and remain ONLY if it gives some kind of benefit to the person? There's ZERO benefits to this shit and I hate it.
But that's a whole other topic. Anyway...
I've tried searching for every media I like, hoping at least one of em is gonna have some glassed characters in them, but the mental whiplash I got, holy shit.
Why do characters with glasses have such insignificant quantity? And better question, why am I only noticing now..? Me! I have glasses, and I'm only noticing this now. What. I mean that's kind of funny, but. Man...
There's exactly one (1) character I can cosplay with my glasses (that I actually know and like) isn't that fun?
#its not even just abt cosplay ngl but ive started with that topic so im sticking to it#theres so many fun traits you can give to characters who have glasses too ppl are just sleeping on them#the audience could pick up so many character traits from a simple action like them cleaning their glasses#what are they cleaning it with? a tissue? a microfiber cloth? THEIR CLOTHES?? it can speak volumes#there's also one canon event for every person who wears glasses and thats the#“can I try on your glasses” to “how many fingers” pipeline#I'd KILL to see one character in a medium show how annoying that can be. but you see?????#how someone's response can show so much character????!!#how many fingers✌️ how about now☝️ how many fingers now🖐️ how many now🤟 how many fingers now🤙#how many NOW BRO LEAVE ME BEEE🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕#OH OH ALSO#people not understanding how hard it is to maintain glasses is REAL and it's OUT THERE and it's ANNOYING#because yes. when my hands are wet I'm GOING TO spray water in your face (depending on circumstances)#but if you dare#bro#DON'T SPRAY NOTHING ONTO MY GLASSES. IDC THAT IT'S “JUST WATER”#because NO IT'S NOT. It's not “just”. it's WATER. on my GLASSES. plain as that.#and I'm going to make you wipe them so clean and good that I'll see in 8K ultra HD 120 fps in real life !!!#but you SEE??!! YALL SEE??!!! CHARACTER TRAITS (if I was a character)!!#all these just tell you that I've had them for *qhite* a while. whereas a person who just got their glasses not long ago might#not find these so annoying#i was bitching about cosplay and now I'm bitching about something baerly related to that so I'll just stfu bc man#i have opinions#pofazing#cosplay#cosplay talk#glasses#glasses problems#glasses wearer#the typos are intentional (no they're not) yes they are (no they're still not) they are fr I never make mistakes

the way digimon does conflict/drama between two characters who should be or are close: chef’s kiss <3
the way sonic idw handles creating conflict/drama between two characters who should be or are close: *wilting flower*
#keyword: adding#in digimon conflicts come about as a result of independent viewpoint differences#ie takuya vs kouji. taichi vs yamato#or (since i just watched 02:the beginning) lui and ukkomon’s conflict is SO GOOD#it BUILDS to something. lui and ukkomon’s disagreement builds up to: they need to communicate. they both come from a good-faith angle#ukkomon so desperately wanted to make lui happy and failed to look closer to see what WOULD - and lui didn’t know how to express#what he actually wanted to ukkomon. or try to reach out to ukkomon in turn instead of basking in his life finally going ‘right’#but then not as much in idw gives me that good feeling of ‘ahhh they built to this and it is so nice’#or when conflict is created it isn’t because despite best efforts people clash and have to work together#it’s when someone does a stupid and someone else has to pick it up#it means a lot when you see kouji driven to press takuya to the wall and see them shout at each other#because they both have to realize that with words they will never convince the other of their viewpoint.#even though they both think the way the other looks at things will get the group killed#and of course it makes sense that the group would follow takuya. he’s their heart. their core#takuya’s the reason tomoki stayed in the digital world and junpei and izumi find confidence being there because he’s there rallying them#and in this case that good trait winds up being wrong. he gets everyone captured by the enemy and thinks theyre all better off if he wasn’t#part of the group from the start. but THAT isn’t true either - he just needs a BALANCE of his excellent helpful determination and willpower#and seeing things as they are and not as he believes them to be - more like kouji#he WAS wrong but not for HAVING the traits he had - for leaning too much on them#or (also going to a media im currently engaging in) sundered star. things go bad between people a LOT but it’s not frustrating.#it’s SATISFYING/ENGAGING seeing feferi leave eridan and watching eridan go insane and give in to the horrorterrors. of course it couldnt-#-go any other way for them. eridan wouldnt change until he realized he could lose feferi and feferi wouldnt bring him any real consequences#-to make him consider that until she was leaving and would never come back. and it was never her fault that leaving eridan lead to-#-catastrophe and devastation. it just happened as a consequence anyway#anyways i guess. if i see the characters do their best and things still fall apart it’s better than#seeing an idiot plot or characters written to be worse than they were to make conflict happen#with takuya he wasn’t suddenly bad or misjudging everything. he just didnt have to deal with negative consequences for misjudging before-#-because they hadnt met someone like duskmon that they COULDNT eventually beat before. even gigasmon who wrecked them all at first-#-was beaten once they had beast spirits and were on equal footing. so takuya assumes the same for duskmon without realizing that#they arent on the same level. so the issue didnt come from nowhere - it just comes to a head now

Mystery pick a card (Some 18+)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Since I did a tarot reading poll for my next tarot reading. lets get the rest of the stuff out of my drafts and reach whoever whenever divine pleases. all different type of questions. some 18+, some not. choose what pile you feel intuitively drawn too.
if you fount it on 10/20-21 24 feel free to vote on the poll for the next reading: https://www.tumblr.com/astrow0rldx/764872633973145600/a-tarot-reading-poll-%E0%AD%A8-%E0%AD%A7?source=share
One
18+ who wants to fuck you?
people probably know them. they are very confident, bold, brave. self assured. they are very wishful, they have a lot of ideas. they could be hopeful, and faithful for big dreams. they could be a person who's naturally inspired, or just carries themself that way. looking for purpose. not really immature energy though, like they seem actually goal-oriented and grounded and serene. this person could make money and actually be well known. they might have a busy life or a lot of eyes on them, like they wake up with a purpose, ideas & confidence in their world,shining. leo, sun, solar plexus energy. but also goal-oriented, focused, practical, money getter. receives nice things. the way they may flirt may be cold-hearted, clever, non chalant. if charming then not too vulnerable. could even be a little shy, have anxiety. or maybe traps in their own head when talking, arguing, etc. so maybe quiet. i don't see them as this optimistic person all the time, they could be very down. maybe a lot of loss hopes. maybe focusing on the bad. could be a person to be like awnn im so sad, so they get inspired to find purpose. they find purpose in themself, and their character and life. you could know them for getting through things. like this person could be strong, a wounded healer. signs: leo, cancer, thick hair, ginger hair, nature, fairy/mermaid, coquette, nighttime, rich, spiritual, moon, been in jail, popular, famous, pretty/handsome. good sleep schedule. mourning and sad but strong and hopeful. get through it energy.
Two
18+ their sexual fantasy with you?
makeup sex, remove tension, confusion and conflict with sex. even tease you a bit. if you guys were both going through a lot because of the connection, or your personal lives, they want to move in and just protect you. stand strong and live a happy ever after and forget about the bullshit. they definitely have fantasies about you fucking while living together and different places around the house, marriage and children may be involved. this type of sex they want to give you they want it to be deep, or performative something to make their mark, own you and make you realize about them or you two. they fantasize about moments when they have to hesitate and they don't know, like should i make a move or should i not. should we go right now, or should we not. and its just so much adrenaline and passion between you guys. they fantasize about you being their ideal woman. you even dressing up in dresses for them, putting yourself together. and then they get to see you take it off, take it off for you and take control. they fantasize about this being connective sex though, so not them only doing the work by the way, don't be afraid to add force, strength or bratty. they want to get.. THERE. rough girlfriend sex. if not girlfriend, bestfriend with benefits, fuck buddy type of thing.
Three
hyping you up and calling you out?
numerology number 222 - You thrive in partnerships, value emotional connection, and have a strong intuition. traits like : Harmony, cooperation, empathy, and diplomacy. You may struggle to assert yourself, compromise too much, or fear conflict. traits like : Indecisiveness, over-dependence, and passivity.
Signs: Strong Libra, Leo, Scorpio, Fire Signs. Favorite - Nicki Minaj
Social butterfly, Creative/Inner child energy. ADHD? maybe Balanced, makes clear decisions. Popular girl energy tbh, if your not, express yourself! popularity doesn't matter anyways your bright regardless this is about you, not others. Heavy re-invent yourself type of person, no matter if its what you been through, your look/aesthetic-ness. Who you are, what you do, you are transformative.
You are a warrior, Your strong. You been through a lot but it made you stronger & only balanced you out. Courageous! It's like you have the power to conquer anything because you rise from it, with grace & confidence. No one should be able to take control of your way when you decide to take control. Game of Thrones energy, like you could look at yourself as some type of character, angel or you know what I mean, it adds to your ego & personality about the stuff you went through. Like this is my goddess, I have faced hardship and became a strong, balanced, warrior with angel wings because of that. You are balanced, wise, & fair. You can make clear, rational decisions. Resilience - the capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties. You can re-invent your self, and shine in your character. You are radiant, your full of life, and you bring light to everyone around you. Your positivity & energy is magnetic. Success, joy, and happiness is the aura and energy around you, embrace it and feel it.
Your like this clear, smart, rational person who shines bright and has this positive inner child energy about them. You have a lot of energy, and adaptability. Always on the go, always on the move, facing things, experiencing and going through stuff, or just being that way as your personality. Like Momentum is on your side, you move with speed & purpose. Push forward!!!
Four
how to get to your desired reality?
signs - National Olympics Games, Spelling bees, Swimming, NBA/NFL, Competitive things. Competitive work place/friend group/family. song: Candy Man, Planez by Jeremih. book: 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene.
you may want to get away with something. wish you can take something. have a little secret. be a thief, manipulator, sneaky, rebel. something hidden that you want to get away with. this could involve a relationship or another thing you can desire in your life is a relationship. maybe a dynamic of earth sign fem/water sign masc. energetically, a woman who’s stable, has all her material desires, thriving in the physical & reality. with a emotional, caring, loving, mature man. with the 8 of cups outside of that and 7 of swords before you might have sneaky things going on in the relationship that you might want to leave behind. or you might want to leave a relationship for another person. or leave with this person. this could be another desire in your life to just maybe leave something behind, and move on from something.
you probably miss your innerchild. you miss someone you were in the past. a era in your life before. you want enjoy life, take the innocence and playfulness, the creativity & kindness of it all. you probably wish you had more integrity, more real, more logical. you probably wish you were more of a warrior, stronger, control things when it’s unfair. wish you had justice. you wish you were smart, straightforward, and had clarity, can understand things faster and see things through. better communication skills. work hard, you wish you can have consistency and persistence. good work. learn faster. wish you were good in school and your matters pertaining to your education, work, legal matters and children.
YOU GOT TO HAVE FUN THIS WORLD IS YOURS. GET SOME CONFIDENCE AND BRAVERY. take down your haters. make it through any competitive shit and stand on your throne. you control your reality, you manipulate the situation. you gain the control and the power. that means you decide when stuff is done, you leave stuff behind that doesn’t serve your best. and be in peace. SAVE and NOURISH and RESPECT & VALUE your peace. PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE put your respect and values to the right things and PEOPLE. your peace can help you understand your wishes and your values and your hopes. and help the tooth fairy to come and help you get it and gain control over the situation. meditate. and WIN 🥇
all you have to do is realize something and have the right discernment and judgement. crumble what doesn’t serve you even if it’s chaotic. bond with the right people and go to/make genuine connections. and that can help you unblock something in you to get here.
Five
How to get to your desired reality?
(same question for pile four)
signs - “Just Do it” Nike. Gigi Hadid, Victoria Secret Modeling, Makeup, Pink. Sexy (Red and Black). Red Room. Leather, Black Boots. Blonde Ponytail. Tumblr Feminine Culture. Female Gaze. Fake Friends. Popular Girl Clique. McDonalds. 4 for $4. Song: Pretty Hurts by Beyoncé. Sippy Cup by Melanie Martinez.
okay you ready to see your work that you put in, the time and investment finally make you satisfied. you probably been holding on to some burdens but your ready for a new life a new beginning something fresh. your ready for the heavy book bag to be off your shoulders life to stop kicking your ass and you can innocently walk into something new. you put in the work and your just waiting till the plants grow and you are thriving and the voids are filled. the happiness and everything you want is there. maybe something that you been wanting to start that you been investing in, caring about is something you see as a fulfillment.
you wish you were more abundant, you wish you were more lucky, you wish you were more physically wealthy. you can receive your wants more easily. you wish you were more of a person that receives good karma and fate. you wish you were emotionally stable and mature and looked at the world differently. and were a better and stronger person to achieve and accomplish.
Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and celebrate. emotionally go forward and connect with people. But be guarded and self assured. start being kind of selfish and more connected back with self. holding on to things valuing things. be more energetic fast and about that action. start moving and starting. start DOING.
you might have body insecurities. you might have insecurities about your luck and fate. insecurities about time. insecurities about your learning abilities, your studies, your goals and ambitions. insecurities about your emotional well-being, your depression, looking on the down side. insecurites about your procrastination, persistentence, and future. your material stability. your plan and progress your path.

Question about deathbed: i havent seen much about it yet but what ive seen doesnt make it sound very...fun to be alive in that world and that its like influenced by practices of the christian church during the middle ages and stuff like that, so im wondering how that would affect being able to even really play a woman being badass in that game?
Is it basically hardmode difficulty if you wanna play a woman?
I have two answers to this.
First is that in Death Bed, a woman can be badass. I’ll demonstrate by making Herr Rike, an old literary and AD&D character of mine, in Death Bed. @thepleasuregoblin @ashweather and @umbraldame can attest that she is just about the most believably badass person there is. (Despite the title of “Herr,” she is a woman and always has been. Well she’s female, technically she isn’t human and in her setting “woman” is a human-specific term while other sapient species have their own terms for genders but you get the point.)
Tumblr media
(art by @chaospyromancy)
I’m not gonna go through this very granularly because in Death Bed most stats are rolled, start out very low, and then are upgraded one at a time by level-ups. But over the course of building her stats up to where they should be to represent her I would focus on Agility, Scripture, Dexterity, Vigor, Strength, Endurance, Arcane, and Attunement from highest to lowest in that order.
For Traits, I would get her
Tumblr media
(this is a men-only Trait, and also one I will probably nerf before final release, but a female character can still take it, at a price.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(she isn't actually humble, but the effect of this Trait fits her personality.)
Tumblr media
(note the sidebars in this one)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(in no particular order)
I might also consider giving her Gentleman (Men only.) but at the moment in the game’s unfinished state that Trait has an unclear interaction with Lady.
Yes, she does have both men-only and women-only Traits, that’s allowed, it just reduces her Social Status. I rolled it and at the end of all those Traits she still has a Social Status of 27, which is fairly high.
Social Status is a stat representing how respectable the character is by the standards of 1400s society. It determines who gets to talk down to and degrade who. What the higher Social Status character says goes, and if this pecking order is challenged, that tends to distress people.
Characters who have Traits which fall outside their perceived gender suffer a debuff to Social Status, because that’s just how it was back then. Hell, that’s how it is today.
So she could kill monsters and shit with a sword just fine, the worst she would get is maybe the occasional weird look, especially since, in the Middle Ages, it was irregular but not strictly forbidden for women to practice martial arts. The super strict sex-segregation of martial arts was way more of a Renaissance and onward thing.
Tumblr media
Now for the second answer.
A lot of what our cultural idea of what is “cool” and “badass” is extremely masculine-favoring. And while yes, swords and armor and violence are cool and badass, (I’m not immune to thinking that the things knights do is cooler than the things their wives do.) a lot of “feminist” or “egalitarian” or otherwise “pro-women” media that is historically set ends up having the message “This woman is badass and cool because she’s.. like a man, unlike those other lameass women who are like women.”
It ends up being the medieval version of that action movie trope that goes like
Male Lead: (pleasantly surprised) “You know how to fight and be badass?”
Female Lead: *racks shotgun* “I grew up with 7 brothers and so I had to learn how to play rough and played army instead of Barbie dolls and I didn’t have a mother and my ex-special-forces dad taught me how to fight starting at a young age. All that masculinity helped me grow up to be cool and tough woman instead of a boring helpless stupid woman.”
instead of, like, celebrating the other 99% of women in that time period who just did woman stuff.
Death Bed allows you to make a character that is a woman but effectively fills the social roles of a man such as killing stuff with a sword*(which is something just about every other TTRPG on the planet also allows), and it allows you to make a character that is a woman and fills all the more normal social roles of a woman while still being a very valuable asset to the party both in and out of combat (and Death Bed has a lot of “out of combat” stuff going on. It’s a classic dungeon crawler, which involves a good amount of combat, but is not purely combat and a party needs plenty of characters who are focused on other things if they want to survive.)
*and again, this wasn’t even something women were strictly barred from doing at the time.
Tumblr media
Fencing Master: (Men only. +1 Social Status.) This struggler has +1 Scripture, +1 Strength, +1 Dexterity, and +1 Agility. Additionally, upon gaining this Trait, give him any three Weapon Special Attribute Masteries, selected at random from those he does not already have. Additionally, reduce his Hollowness by 1 each time he gains a new Special Weapon Attribute Mastery. However, this struggler must make a Despair roll any time his martial technique is called into question or disrespected, unless he proves himself. If he attempts to prove himself and fails, he must take an added instance of disadvantage to this Despair roll. He must also make a Despair roll each time his weapon is reduced in Maintenance Rating as a result of a failed attack roll. 
Additionally, this struggler gains 2x the EXP from engagements in which he fights alone without allies. 
Frightening Demeanor: (+1 Social Status.) So long as this struggler is not a non-combatant, apply a -1 to this struggler’s Attention each time their Attention is increased. However, apply an added instance of disadvantage to their reaction rolls. 
Humble: (+0 Social Status.) This struggler’s good nature is a bulwark to disrespect. They gain an added instance of Advantage to any despair rolls related to disrespect. They gain an additional added instance of advantage to any despair roll related to disrespect from characters of lower Social Status. 
Lady: (Women only. +3 Social Status.) This struggler has an added +3 to Scripture,[1] and an instance of advantage on reaction rolls. However, she must take an added instance of disadvantage to any Despair roll resulting from being disrespected by a man or woman of lower social standing, and must make a Despair roll up to once per Scene in which she is not wearing fine women’s clothing.[2][3]
[1. Sidebar] Literacy was considered the domain of noblewomen, clergy, and scribes.
[2. Sidebar] This Trait does not require the struggler to be a non-combatant. Though it was unorthodox for them to participate directly in battle, women of noble standing were not barred from martial training. In fact, a nobleman’s wife was expected to command his levies in battle should their home be attacked while he is away.
[3. Sidebar] Wearing fine women’s clothing does not preclude the wearing of most armor, so long as the visibly feminine elements are preserved.
Additionally, up to once per Scene, this struggler gains 100 EXP if she goes the entire Scene without getting her shoes or dress muddy, wet, or otherwise dirty. [gains EXP from reading literature or eating fine food and drinking fine wine? Figure this out.]
Paranoid: (-1 Social Status.) This struggler has an added instance of advantage to Agility rolls to avoid triggered traps, and, once per Hourglass, the player of this struggler can ask that the Narrator reveal to their struggler any and all traps in a room or general surrounding area and the Narrator will do so. However, they must make a Despair roll if they ever accidentally trigger a trap, or if anyone ever startles them such as by walking up behind them or waking them from their sleep.
Also, when the Narrator makes a wandering monster roll, the player of this struggler may ask that the result be revealed to them, but if they do so, this struggler makes a Despair roll.
Up to once per Scene, this struggler gains 10 EXP for being right about the dangers that lurk nearby.
Sharp Tongue: (+0 Social Status.) This struggler’s quick tongue and quicker wit allow them to wind around any social slight with the agility of a skilled fencer. At this struggler’s choice, they can cause the object of their ridicule either an added instance of advantage or an added instance of disadvantage to any Despair rolls related to disrespect from this struggler. Either advantage or disadvantage is doubled if their words are actually said in dialogue or at least summarized and the Narrator deems their remark sufficiently clever.
Tactician: (+1 Social Status.) Once per engagement, this struggler can bark out a specific order to an ally with a Social Status up to 3 degrees higher than their own, or any degree lower.[1] If the ally they are ordering complies, that ally gains an instance of Advantage to the next 3 rolls that carrying out that order may entail. However, if the ally refuses or fails to carry out this order, then this struggler must make a Despair roll. If the ally dies as a result of attempting to carry out this order, then this struggler must make a Despair roll with an instance of Disadvantage.
[1. Sidebar] This can be done even if this struggler is a non-combatant.
Additionally, this struggler gains 5 EXP for each successful roll on the aforementioned next 3 rolls made by their ally complying with their orders.

°˖✧✿✧˖°
Your fingers fly across the keyboard, your full focus on the game in front of you. Your forefinger clicks rapidly at your mouse, eyes darting every which way as you take in all of the stimuli from your computer monitor.
Your chat, sometimes slow but always steady, cheers you on. Your character’s gun fires rapidly, taking down players on the other team with no pause or hesitation.
“Come on, come on!” You urge yourself to click faster, move forward, pushing the other team’s players off the point. The time clock runs down at the top of the screen, creating even more urgency that fires through your blood like rocket fuel. 
“Overtime,” You hear the voice of the narrator in your ears, giving it your all for the last push. You ignore the ache in your finger joints, leaning closer to your monitor like it might actually give you some kind of advantage.
“Victory!” The narrator’s voice calls out, and you raise your arms and cheer, spinning around in your chair before focusing on your monitor again. 
“We did it, chat!” You clap and cheer loudly, laughing as your character celebrates on screen with you, striking a pose. You take a gulp from your water bottle, then hoist yourself up a bit on your chair to tuck your legs underneath you. Chat goes crazy, messages of praise and celebration flowing into the chatbox.
c4tak3mi3: ggs! 🎉🎉🎉 musicl0ver_09: ggs!! was that prongs tho?? redafterlife: omg u killed that gg
You read the chat messages as they scroll by. You aren’t a huge streamer, but you have at least a dozen very faithful viewers. You love your little community more than anything, happy to have found a little corner of the internet with people who love and accept you for who you are. 
new chatter alert! Say hi!
☑️Prongs: ggs! 
Your heart skips a beat. Several, actually.
The chatter has a checkmark, meaning the account is verified. You click on the username and it takes you exactly where you think it will.
To the page of one of the biggest streamers on the platform. And he’s in your chat. 
“Hi! Hi, uh…” You stumble through your words, brain somehow running faster now than when you’re playing. “Are you… are you real? I mean obviously you’re real, but are you really Prongs?”
☑️Prongs: lmao yes im the real prongs ☑️Prongs: ur really good! u play comp often?
You blink at his messages again in disbelief. You almost feel like you did the first time a chatter messaged in your chat, only way more intense. Prongs is not only one of the biggest live-streamers on the internet, but he’s also incredibly attractive. You don’t watch him or his friends, the Marauders, often. But you know them, everyone knows them.
“No, I- Usually, I play unranked, my friends just recently convinced me to start playing comp.” You try to keep your voice steady but your heart is racing a million miles an hour. “I don’t think I’m very good…” 
His response in chat is instant.
☑️Prongs: well i think ur good 😁 ☑️Prongs: u killed me at least 4 times
The rest of your chat, as sparing as it looks compared to his, seems very excited that he is there. Everyone welcomes him, being very nice. They tease you, though, for your blush and the way you’ve been flustered since Prongs came into chat. 
You almost consider ending stream. This has to be a prank, right? Why would Prongs be in your chat? Why would he be interested in you or your skill level in the game?
But it’s not a prank. Or at least, you don’t think so. Because Prongs sticks around. Not just for the next game or the one after that, but for the entire rest of the stream. He’s active in your chat, talking with you and with your community. He follows you, which leaves you feeling a bit light-headed in the middle of a match. You think you die inside (in a good way) when you get the alert that he’s subscribed. Someone clips your reaction, and you make a mental note to delete the clip after stream.
When you finally do end stream, significantly later than normal with your head spinning and smiling so widely your cheeks hurt, you see that he’s joined your discord. Prongs, one of the hottest men alive according to the internet and an absolute gaming legend, is in your discord. 
And when you get a notification that he sent you a direct message, you think you can actually feel your soul leave your body.
Prongs: hey Prongs: we should play together sometime Prongs: ur pretty cute 😉

Bro...inhibitor ring Amy...ur mind bro....
Seriously though, while I'm of the personal opinion that her bracelets are weights like they are in the GBA games, I ALSO am a diehard fan of chaos-user!Amy.  In fact, ice been saying for years now that she IS a chaos user—she just gives her more supernatural combative abilities cutesy or simplified names as opposed to Shadow's more technical naming conventions. 
Storming Heart is a derivative form of Chaos Spear, which in the games looks slower and more concussive like a bomb might be.  Rose Typhoon is just a Chaos Blast supplemented by the shockwaves she generates using her hammer. 
I wouldn't be surprised if the more technical terms for her Invisibility and Precognitive abilities—referring to her tarot readings, accurate intuition, etc.—were something along the lines of "Chaos Shroud" and "Chaos Divination" respectively.  Then there's her pocket dimension where she keeps things like her hammer and cards, so that could just be accessing her own personal "Chaos Space".  Hells, she even has a uniquely strong capacity to sense the energy of other people and things, which is what makes her such a great tracker in canon, and if the energy she's sensing is actually just the chaos energy all living things naturally possess in varying strengths and signatures, then maybe she also employs a sort of "Chaos Dowsing" technique. 
Idk if you can tell, but I'm a big Amy fan lol.  I usually just love all-arounder characters like her—seeing how she's faster than Tails and Knuckles but not Sonic, stronger than Sonic and Tails but not Knuckles, and smarter than Sonic and Knuckles but not Tails.  Also, a sweet, peppy magical girl who's greatest traits are her passion and kindness?  Sign me tf up. 
Would be funny for her to ask Shadow to teach her Chaos abilities now that she knows to take off the inhibitors and for him to be all ???? "What are you talking about? You use them all the time??" lol. My shadamy shipper heart would also just love to see them grow closer over this, but that's neither here nor there
i love amyyyy i love her so much. her abilities are so wild and all over the place and the moment you think deeper abt them youre like,,,, how tf does she do what she does actually why tf does she have a pocket dimension. and you're so right abt the naming thing!!
to me it just makes sense her being a chaos energy user. all the other hedgehogs can do it, she's got abilities that are very similar to theirs, it makes sense that she channels chaos energy too. if sega weren't cowards, she'd have a super form by now 😔
also hilariously enough im in the middle of drawing a short lil follow up comic to my last one w that premise :3c sneak peek
