I'd like to take a moment to point out to detractors of ships involving Laios who feel that "Laios wouldn't take any interest in people!" that he'd hyperfixated on Shuro so badly it was ruining the man's life lmao

The clock keepers' uniform involves capes to protect them from the cold of Kako and Mirai's city of snow. Keeping up the pattern of every school mystery clothes reflecting their past living situation.

Akane loses energy in the heart of his own boundary but has resistance to it.

Surprise Sketches of some OC’s I was working on for a fic I was writing. Again, not an artist but I think they turned out okay! :D (I think the tiny is going to be smaller but I’m physically incapable of drawing that small on my current canvas size)

Don’t worry, the big guy is gentle… even if sometimes he doesn’t realize things until after he’s done them. But aghhh. Tiny with a broken wing, forced to stay with someone hundreds of times bigger than himself until he’s healed up which could take months? Amazing. Chef’s kiss

I won’t reveal the names yet, but this one is an extreme size difference because I love it so much 🫶

*E1-3 of Season 2*

Me: oh wow they're really giving Ed a dark villain arc! I love it! Of course, this means we will get a glorious redemption arc throughout the rest of the season where he does his best to make amends with Izzy and the crew, who he was explicitly shown to torture and traumatise <3

*After Ed's canonically-acknowledged-as-incredibly-shitty apology to the crew*

Me: Right, well that is obviously the moment where he changes and starts developing as a character! We're going to get a lot of growth this season; I can feel it. He's going to figure out that this isn't about him, it's about the people he hurt. He's going to actually improve as a person, in such a way that he starts to respect and care for his crew in a way he's never been shown to in the past! What an awesome arc! Yay!

*Season finale*

Me: ....

my only critique of hi fi rush is that there shouldve been blood. and sure, maybe it wouldve been totally tonally incongruous, but consider this: i want BLOOD.

How are you adjusting to the whole Norse mythology situation?

LEO: I’ve mostly been bugging some of the older einherjar, and Hunding, a little bit, to figure this place out. Do you know how cool it is that some people have been here since the industrial revolution?? There's no way that I'm the first of my dad's kids to make it here. I just don't know who to talk to about it.

((Leo's coping mechanism re: Norse mythology is just hating himself more bc of course he doesn't belong in his own afterlife. but he won't admit that to anyone bc he doesn't know who can be vulnerable with.))

I love your characterizations of most of the Hazbin cast across... well, a LOT of different fics and scenarios.

Any thoughts on how you'd approach writing Lilith, especially if it turns out she's the one who owns Alastor's soul?

Thank you so much! :D I genuinely am so glad to hear that!

Unfortunately, having no fucking idea how to characterize Lilith is exactly why I struggled with writing Knock, Knock! It's Your Worst Fucking Nightmare! until I realized I could make Adam the antagonist, hahaha. It was originally going to be whoever holds Alastor's contract, which I actually personally think might not be Lilith (she feels like a red herring to me), but still had her as an option, and...

To be perfectly honest, we just don't see enough about her in canon, even in the form of hints, for me to have any idea what her personality is like. So the way I approach writing her is pretty much as, basically, a ghost haunting Lucifer's memories every time I write his POV, but never really in explicit flashbacks or in person. She works better for me as an idea and an absence to mourn than a character that I'm comfortable making assertions about.

Proof that bsd would be a lot better if they just let it pass the Bechdel test more often

when you think about it clive and flora are actually perfect narrative foils on complete accident. like what's up with that. professor layton and the completely imagined literary devices
