#thanks I somehow really needed this

[egophiliac]

Hi it's just to let you know that the official romanization of Revaan's name is Raverne ! Also they have romanized Baul's name to Baur !

Twst coming back at us again with the least expected romanization! thank you everybody (oh god my inbox) (no it's great, I literally asked for this and the reactions have been INCREDIBLE, thank you all!)

I do like Raverne though, I think it's got a nice fancy sound to it! (I had kinda suspected it was going to be an R instead of an L, so the fact that it's SO close to Laverne except for that is hilarious to me personally.) and Dragoneye Duke is honestly probably the best translation for his title, I wasn't envying the localizers that one. :') Baur instead of Baul I was NOT expecting, but in retrospect I think his name's supposed to be a reference to the Bauru crocodile, so that actually makes way more sense!

someone else also said Meleanor has become Maleanor, which is the REALLY weird one to me, because I was so surprised it was written as Mel instead of Mal in the first place?! oh god no I can't decide which one I like better. 😭 (I wonder if they might change it to Mal...they have made romanization changes before) (like I remember House of Distraction being corrected to House of Destruction in Playful Land) (I did check and she's still Mel for now, but I dunno, they might Mal her up and some point and save me from having to make a decision about which one to use) (HECK I CAN'T DECIDE)

uhhhh thank you for letting me ramble about anime names, let's just say MONOGRAMMED SWEATERS FOR EVERYONE

Bluepoch gave us the gift of barely-subtext tragic sapphic-centric media do NOT throw that away.

Context regarding PJSK and Undertale under cut.

Project Sekai cast is dominated by female characters but mlm is more popular, meanwhile Undertale has canon wlw rep and oh my god they’re at the bottom. I have nothing against these fandoms or media (I’m literally currently/was in them) but yeah. I just HOPE r99 doesn’t end up in a similar state.

I wanna give him a blanket. Can it maybe just materialize outta nowhere?

(I know fabric wrinkles suck to draw. You don't gotta 😵)

[eh-whereismycat]

I feel like the fact that Felix is created from the emotion of jealousy explained his behaviour in his first episode to some extent, the way he impersonated Adrien out of jealousy, because Adrien has friends and crush (which he couldn't has neither of those until the death of Colt, stated in Representation, Colt's has the power to control Felix's feelings whenever he is attached to someone)

Yea, at this point of the plot we can all agree that Adrien is abused by Gabriel, but it was not this worse before Gabriel lose his fricking senses, poor parenting and madness asided, he "loved" Adrien when he obeyed him.

In Felix's eyes, even if he's obeying his father, Colt would just beat him up real bad, both mentally and possibly physically. But Adrien could live under a false impression of love and freedom, was able to express his feelings and bonding with his friends occasionally, NOT knowing the fear that his life is bonded with a fucking ring. BUT still, Adrien did not fight for his authority despite he has much more chance than him (Felix clearly doesn't know Adrien is Chat Noir).

Heck, of course he is jealous.

And while he is created from jealousy, Adrien is possibly created from a more loving and positive emotions, talking about identity crisis.

The core ingredient of his soul, the feeling that he is different from all the other humans, and the difference between him and Adrien, the only one kin he has before Kagami, he is filled with jealousy.

Regardless of all of these, he forms a similar understanding with the sweet boi Adrien about parenting and life.

During Pretension, Felix said "your duty is to protect them, love them, help them discover their own meaning to their existence."

During Representation, Adrien/Chat Noir yelled "that have a child is to help them blossom, to grow, to find themselves and to be free!"

As in S5 we see Felix is becoming more soft and sentimental towards his mother, duusu, also Kagami, and how Kagami is helping him to trust and works with Labybugs, this boi is growing up form his past, and I can see he is going to be filled with much more joyful emotions other than the jealousy that created him, I think we are all looking forward for these kids' future. They are breaking their parents' curse.

But still, please get them all into group therapy.

What are your ryomina headcanons? I've loved these two since I played P3 FES, and I'm so excited to get back into the fandom^^

hi!! thank you so much for the ask, welcome back to the p3 fandom, it's always a delight to see new and old ryomina fans alike! 🥺💛💙

as for headcanons, here's a "few" i that i tend to come back to a lot! my interpretations of them are influenced from both the source material and other's fanworks, so i've linked to them as i saw fit! hcs in no particular order under the cut because oops this got long (900 word bullet point list, mentions of reload content up to 1/1)

minato's hair is dyed blue (hair originally brown, you can see it in his roots!) and he has a beauty mark on under his left eye. i like mirror imagery and there's definitely a few arts i've rb'd that portray them this way :) (e.g. this one by feliichu and this one by marasschino)

as far as i'm concerned the bathhouse scene from the manga where ryoji's hair down = similar shape to minato? that is canon to me. this art from xierru is a fun depiction of hair down ryoji :D

ryoji is homeless. everyone say thank you foxmulder_whereartthou for this awesome fic it's why i have the headcanon! but like seriously. we have no idea where ryoji lives and i could believe this.

minato dying at the end of the game is sad to an outsider's POV BUT!!! ryomina gets to be together in death for the rest of their lives (this illustration from mafuwara is a gorgeous representation of them as nyx avatar + the seal)!

speaking of the seal, they are like telepathically communicating to me in the great seal together. (mymp3 had a comic wip with this. give it a looksie :D)

ryoji likes cuddling with minato because he's warm :) (something something orpheus has fire affinity, minato is warm by extension and ryoji is cold because he's death)

ryoji's camera roll is filled with pictures of minato! ryoji... loves life, to me. and i feel that photography and journaling are perfect ways of expressing gratitude and capturing the moments in life that are most important to you :3

my other favorite activity for these two is stargazing- i feel like it's something they could appreciate either in life or death (looking at the stars from the great seal...)! they do a bit of this in the fic eurydice's vow by crescentmoontea (P5R spoilers, takes place in third sem it's a very fun fic concept).

between ryoji and minato i feel like ryoji was the one who fell in love first- and it doesn't really click in place for minato that he loves ryoji until december hits (appriser reveal + ryoji transforming into thanatos). its about the realization that ryoji was with him for his whole life and that he gets him like no one else does.

ryoji is like a sad and wet puppy who is so scared minato won't like him back. he is so scared of being rejected by minato to me like. this boy straight up deflates after he does his "i know i said i wanted us to be friends, but... i actually want to be something more." / "what about you?" on 12/1 ???

AND SPEAKING of wet puppy ryoji. ryoji is like. every animal in the world to me. he's a bird. he's a cat. etc. and also ryoji knows every language in the world ever and uses it to express his love for minato. see this fic from superheroics to see what i mean.

both of them are lactose intolerant. "this isn't lactose, it's milk!" i definitely think ryoji would make himself sick eating ice cream and milk he doesn't know what lactose is. (i made a silly poll about this once and the tags were very entertaining.)

i see minato as transmasc or nonbinary depending on the day (schrodinger's headcanons babey they're simultaneously true and not true at the same time!!). either way he's not cis to me and ryoji is like. His Gender. anyway go read this fic by nail_gun for t4t ryomina :D !

ryomina are WEIRD GUYS TO ME!!! they are so strange and they understand each other better than anyone else because of the circumstances of their relationship!!! if you asked them to do the "i wonder what i taste like" meme i think they'd start biting each other (affectionate) tbh but that's just me.

after ryoji gives minato the music box in 12/31 on reload, minato listens to the music box every night in january. this boy has insomnia and also chronic illness to me (things that housing death does to you). but i think he finds comfort in the melody and memories he made with ryoji.

in general, i think it's fun to imagine minato taking ryoji to places and show him things he's interested in! i feel that ryoji takes a lot of interest in minato's life, this isn't really a hc because in reload, minato DOES give ryoji a tour of the school (11/9) and possibly port island (11/12). but ITS CUTE OK! (tangentially related fanwork: this series of doodles from vinnigami: 1, 2, and 3)

not a hc but minato's kindness is like the backbone of their relationship and i think we would not have the ryomina we know and love today if minato wasn't such a kind soul. oh minato.... we can learn so much from you... like ryoji did!

anyway! that's all the hcs that i could think of, thank you for the ask! i had a lot of fun answering this, these two mean a lot to me 💛💙

i hope you don't mind the links to the fanart and fanfic as well, the fanwork people have made for ryomina have really made an imprint on me! if you want to see more of them, i definitely recommend looking through my tag for them because oh. i got a lot of them reblogged alright 😂 (<- SOOO NORMAL)

qpr jean and neil. that's all i'm gonna say.

do you see my vision?

[delizbin]

A little thought on why I like Hayffie so much:

They represent the polar opposite of the perfect stereotype:

Effie, perfect Capitol citizen, frivolous, loud, bubbly, brainwashed Effie with her colorful, unique, over the top outfits. She is just the perfect representation of what the Capitol is, plus she’s also an Escort, practically the death reaper for district 12.

Haymitch, on the other hand, is everything the Capitol despises and thinks about the Districts. Rough, outspoken, ungrateful, drunk Haymitch who can’t even do his job properly. Practically an animal.

They hate each other because that’s what their household do. Districts and Capitol has nothing in common.

That’s what people see on the outside and how Katniss describes them to us at the very start of the first book, basically. We don’t have an omniscient narrator, we got what we get just through Katniss eyes, and , slowly, we get to know them, particularly Haymitch, and their very unique way of balancing each other’s out. They don’t hate each other, first of all.

Haymitch is a smart, broken man that masks his problems with alcohol, and Effie, on the other hand…

Effie is very cryptic to me.

She never really gets close to Katniss that way so we have no clue how she really is, if she’s just the perfect result of the Capitol education or if she got something else going on. All we know is that she and Haymitch accepted each others the best that they could and shared some good goddamn bond together.

Haymitch and Effie had basically only each other’s during the games before Katniss and Peeta appeared. They are the only one that understood what mentoring district 12 meant, as frustrating and humiliating as it could have been, for years.

Haymitch literally had no one to rely on expect Chaff and some other victors, I doubt he even tried to get close to someone else after what happened to his family and started drinking, so I think Effie really played a role there. Especially after the revelation of book 3 that suggested they were not totally indifferent to each other’s, but we’ll get there.

Effie, on the other hand, was stuck with 12, we have no idea for how long but sure is for more then 4 years since Katniss never mentioned knowing another Escort from the Reaping day before Effie.

Now, 4 years working with a drunk delusional man after the Capitol promised a big nice job is tough for her , I guess, and she’s also non enthusiastic to work with someone that makes you face what the games are: death and destruction while they’re supposed to be egregious and prideful.

It makes no sense does it? She must be just unlucky to have been assigned to such a gross district.

Still, she does the best that she can. She’s totally detached from reality but she never looked evil. Just dumb. (Let’s remember it’s all from katniss pov, which doesn’t make it any less valid but see very little of her, because Katniss wasn’t that much interested and how can you blame her?)

Plus, she’s younger than Haymitch, that was pretty much implied.

Anyway, that’s the situation: Capitol doll from one side, drunk sassy man from the other.

And then Katniss and Peeta came.

Haymitch starts working seriously to keep them alive.

We have no idea if their collaboration had been this intense other years as well, presumably not, but here they are, only the two of them trying to keep their kids alive. Nice.

And they did! They both won! Hurray!

Oh no

And here we go, hell begins

Effie basically created that perfect family scenario in her head (which is adorably sad) while Haymitch was busy planning a revolution and keeping the kids out of troubles.

The 75th announcement happens.

Everyone worlds crumbles down, but while for Haymitch it’s an opportunity to strike the revolution , I have no idea what it might have meant for Effie since it’s the first time in her lifetime her “family” faces reaping. And she’s actively part of the reaping part.

We already know Effie is good and faking , it’s basically her whole work, so we have no idea how much Effie knows. We’ll never know about it but she surely starts to understand stuff about the Capitol. Or at least the perfect scenario in her head starts to crumble a little. And why do I say so? Because of the dinner scene when Seneca Crane was brought up.

We might think “maybe she knew Seneca Crane and was genuinely sad about it” … yes. That was my first thought. Yes that might be a reason and probably what Katniss thought as well, but now, reconsidering , I also think she was scared.

She started to put two and two together and understood that no matter what or who you are for the Capitol , you can be replaced just like that. An error and you’re out.

But, as I said, we’ll never know, all we know is that she just leave the table (rude!) while crying.

She gives her family tokens, which Haymitch had the brilliant idea to use has a symbol for the revolution… And then the revolution!

This part.

Not many are going to agree with me but I genuinely like the book better, even if it means we don’t get Effie for the 99.99% of said book.

I think it just makes more sense for her character development to be mistakenly left behind and imprisoned and (probably) tortured.

It’s not because Iike to see her suffer, it just makes sense.

She stays with Peeta , first of all , which is basically a parallelism.

I think Johanna mentioned her somewhere at some point which I think really gives the idea that she’s been treated like any potential rebel because nothing matters anymore at this point. Yet they don’t execute her, even after Peeta is taken by the rebels, why!? It doesn’t make sense to me why they spared her life while killing everyone else linked to the rebellion. Maybe because they thought they could use her somehow? Seems improbable but I’m glad they did anyway.

After all of this mess the war ends, she gets freed, Haymitch is partially sober still

We get no idea how or why but we know for sure Plutarch and HAYMITCH did everything they could to keep ber alive. (I think it was really Haymitch that wanted to keep her alive and Plutarch just backed him up because he didn’t want the ex mentor angry and not collaborative to the cause but alas)

We have no idea what happened to her or where the heck has she been or how Haymitch managed to save the prep team and not her and why and if he tried to get in contact with her somehow but Suzanne must have had some idea in her mind while writing it because it was very much intentional. (Thank you Elisabeth Banks for giving her a reason to rewrite the character into it)

Differently from the movie!Effie, that has not a real catharsis, implying that she stayed more or less the same throughout the whole process even if she changed her mind and gave her trust to Katniss, book!Effie can’t be the same person from the start of the book because how can it possibly be. She probably lost everything during the war (apart from being literally destroyed inside) and wasn’t even given a possibility to choose sides. She was forced into change into two totally different ways.

Anyway, the war ends, Panem is free and I think only now Haymitch and Effie might have some chance of real connection beside chemistry and funny banters. Here we got two scarred people that need each other’s because they’d understand and respect each other nonetheless.

For Effie it’s the chance to start an authentic quiet life with people that she loves and love her , maybe not right away, but the girl really needs emotional support and the only people that can understand and that she knows they will are Katniss, Peeta and especially Haymitch. Katniss herself gave Effie her blessing, and if she did is pretty obvious that Peeta already liked her, and so did Haymitch otherwise his bother with Coin wouldn’t have made sense at all.

While Movie!Effie has a chance to rebuild herself in the Capitol, even after the connection she made , especially with Haymitch, she didn’t really have a reason to abandon her old lifestyle or her hometown to move to 12, where she just can’t really fit. Maybe she will eventually, who knows, but I think the kiss especially was more symbolic for the truce between Capitol and Districts than foreshadowing of a potential future for them BUT MAYBE, I don’t know , maybe they got a chance somehow

Book!Effie otherwise I don’t really think so, how could she stay in the Capitol, after everything that happened and alone (even if some people she knew before the war survived how could they understand the experience of being jailed, tortured or even else?)

On the other end, for Haymitch it’s actually his chance to have a family. They already got kids together , maybe they could have a chance at comforting each other for good this time. Safely and without the constant threat of someone being murdered.

Protecting each other’s, being safe and trying to rebuild themselves a day at a time. Like a family.

And that’s it, I’m basing my opinions on canon events only , as few as we got, and free interpretations . Of course with the movie it’s a totally different story but I’m mostly interested in the book potential because of how many things are left unsaid or implied.

If someone managed to read until here you deserve a forehead kiss, muah❣️

Sons c:

I was supposed to just focus on Killua for a current comm but his dynamic with Gon was so wholesome (almost like siblings c': ) that I decided to check the anime itself

[antiqua-lugar]

fun fact, during my first fully blind playthrought of bg3 I honestly thought gale was the writers' favourite if nothing else because of how much varied dialogue he had. like I never reallly had a conversation with astarion that wasn't about his trauma, his vampirism or how boring I am for not wanting to take over a cult but I knew all of gale's hobbies, two or three childhood's anecdotes and the whole history of tara, who he was making plans to introduce to me later.

About me - Simblr Edition

Thank you so so much for the tags @thebramblewood @akitasimblr and @softplumbs!! I'm so excited for these questions and I'm feeling chatty so it's going to be super fun 😉

rules: you can use any sims game to answer these questions!

your 3 traits: Socially Awkward, Creative, and Squeamish

your aspiration: Bestselling Author

in-game world you'd live in: San Myshuno or Oasis Springs!! I love them both so much and they're definitely the towns I've played the most.

favourite townie(s): Ulrike Faust, Johnny Zest, and Nina and Dina Caliente (who I've actually played a lot thanks to a Sims 4 Pleasantview save from like years ago that I still remember really well because Nina and Dina had the best gameplay 😆)

most used pack(s): Probably City Living, Strangerville, and Vampires. I'm sure there's others but I think those are my top three, especially for decorating houses (when I do occasionally).

favourite decor object (no cc): This is so hard since I don't build that often... I think the thing I put in like every build I make though is that cereal box with the cans from Outdoor Retreat... Which is kind of weird but I like that it makes it look like there's food and stuff out in the kitchen it makes it seem more lived in to me.

something you want in the game: Bands!! I think they'd make a great game pack and I feel like the foundation for it is right there with the (surprisingly well working) club system! I wouldn't mind a few more hobbies too, and some new athletic things to do, like it would be cool would to have sims be able to surf in Sulani and stuff but I doubt that one will ever happen.

what colour is your plumbob right now; Green! Just got a boost of CAS inspiration so I'm super excited about that 😁

I'll tag @gothoffspring @oswanily @luvbugtrait @whyeverr and @tiniestsimmer. I feel like a lot of people have already done this by now so if you have/don't want to do it feel free to ignore or if you still want but haven't been tagged to feel free to say I tagged you!
