If you had to assign a theme song to each of your characters, what songs would they be and why? We think about this a lot with our OCs, and we believe personally that Ace's theme might be Crazy = Genius by P!ATD. But that might just be bcuz we fangoy over that band!

On a side note, we'd like to know what bands you enjoy listening to? And which genres?

hihi! oc questions make me very happy and are always welcome <3 just for fair warning, I’m a little bad at assigning songs to characters but. I’ll try! I don’t really have a definitive single theme song(tm) for some characters so these are tentatively unofficial haha, but just for fun!

sol- mulled over different ones but the one that kept sticking out is ‘Hope for the Future’ by Bastille. very in line with their character themes and the kind of person they are.

lyra- this one was the hardest surprisingly. but ‘Passing Through’ by Kaden MacKay feels right. both the calm vibe of the song feels fitting as well as themes of making the most of their time and being with the people they love. kinda taking time to slow down in the moment of life being fast.

niko- think I’ve mentioned this one before, but I like ‘Get Used To It’ by Ricky Montgomery a lot for him. a lot of her backstory’s about trying to make things better than they were, both for themself and for others. so this one feels right.

june- the only one that wasn’t hard at all. ‘The Villain I Appear To Be’ by Connor Spiotto/Molly Pease. the most junecore song to ever song

hazel- ‘Synesthesia’ by Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness for them. song gives me autumnal vibes for a reason I can’t describe, and the calm feel and the lyrics fit them and how much they love their partner Robyn and would do anything for them. <3

regan- haven’t shown them off here yet (soon), but to those who do know them :> ‘The Ruse & The Caper’ by Coyote Theory. they’re very close with their partner Ozu- they have a really strong connection with each other, and love each other for who they are. this song is very rezu to me

(rest under readmore because i worry this is getting too long otherwise)

———

as for ace- it is hard for me to assign One song to them bc they are such a complex chara along with the fact that I struggle at assigning songs anyways so I’ll try for a few (mostly based on lyrics). I would do multiple for all my charas if it didn’t mean that this post would be years long, so if you want more than one for my other charas feel free to msg me or ask :>

- ‘Kaibutsu’ (eng version) from Beastars! (linking this one bc there’s a few diff versions! I did a redraw of this album art with them actually :>)

- ‘Warmth’ by Bastille. this song is very ‘finding comfort in the people you love when the world around you is so overwhelming’ and that strikes me as the kind of person that ace would want to be for others.

- ‘Humpty Dumpty’ by AJR. fits with their struggling with hiding their problems from others because they don’t really have a good support system, and don’t want to burden or worry that others already have enough going on. they do end up confiding in the player- I think the player’s one of the people who they trust and care about the most.

- if I had to pick a P!ATD song for ace, I’d probably pick ‘Dying in LA’ myself. it feels very ‘ace while they’re in team meteor’ to me, where their desperation and loneliness gets taken advantage of and they’re recruited into this Unhealthy Bad situation that they clearly don’t agree with- but hey, it’s better than being alone like they were before, right?

———

as for me, my favorite band is bastille! as you might’ve been able to tell already, haha. although I’m also fond of AJR, fitz & the tantrums, coyote theory, ricky montgomery, imagine dragons, and p!atd :> in no order! as for genre, it’s hard to describe what single genre(s) I love since it tends to depend but I like stuff that Feels right to me. a lot of once off songs from someone I’ve never heard of just catch my attention immediately- sometimes that’s something meaningful and chill, other times higher energy, fun to sing along to. that kinda stuff!

thanks for the ask <3 I love talking about my beloveds. this was fun! please always feel free to send asks or say hi if you want! I’m (reasonably) active both here, twitter, and on discord :>

Is the MC assumed to have had some sexual experience? How would the ROs react if MC was a 200+ year old virgin? lol

That's a really good question! I have always worked from the POV that MC has had some experience, having lived for so long (and in such a pro-sex environment) I think it would be an active choice to remain celibate. But I have to ask: Is this something you'd want in game?

I'm still at the note-taking stage of my ace/aro-route development, and I could see myself writing one that could branch into romance/sex-curiousity if that appeals at all.

But, to your question! [From the POV of mc/ro having flirted and confided in each other, but not quite in a relationship yet]

Yor/Yana would feel honored that you'd trust them with that, and take time to get to know your thoughts on the matter. They would let the hunter know that nothing needs to happen between them; it changes nothing.

Auryn would feel out of their element if the hunter came out with that info. Sex is more than an act for them, it's almost a form of expression. They would be bursting with questions, which might make the hunter uncomfortable tbh. I could see this leading to both MC and Auryn going on the defensive with their life-choices, making it a less than ideal conversation. Auryn would then mull it over for several days before approaching the hunter about it again.

Sene/Selene would raise a brow and bluntly ask "Why?", and then listen intently to the hunter's answer. They'd have many questions, prodding ones, but step back at any sign of discomfort from the hunter, and then wait for them to broach the subject again.

Idren/Ida would feel almost relieved, as they themselves feel inexperienced and unsure. I think it would lead to one of those really long, heartfelt conversations one has in the kitchen long into the small hours, confessions and relatable statements pouring out between them and the hunter.

Leith/Custom I can only see as having known about this since forever, and they are not phased in the slightest by it.

Would AOS' views towards (olympian) gods would be different if he was blessed with the power of Hope back from GOW 3? If I remember correctly, people in Greece are able to move forward/rebuild again without their Gods' rule. I assumed that AOS would have given up his faith towards his gods and moved on with his life as normal without giving them his prayers. I bet Kratos would have appreciate that during the Agapē saga. ^^

yes! i think that Atreus’s biggest appeal to me is that he is a normal, flawed, influenceable human being. any widespread event that would have affected other humans in Greece would have 100% affected him, as well. by GOW 3 he is long gone, however, so i don’t know if any in-game events would reach/affect him that far away. so maybe the distance is why he is still so dependent on the gods. 🤔 it’s honestly not something i seriously considered when writing Agapē, i was mostly concerned with making him a foil to Kratos, so that’s the best explanation i’ve got. 😅 LOL

but Kratos definitely would rather him not be religious!! hahaha… poor kratos ;v;;

for the uhh, the uhhhh.. music ask

1, 2, 7 and 15 ^^

1 Favorite song right now Currently it's "Fine" by lemon demon, It just has the kind of vibes I absolutely love. https://open.spotify.com/track/2GlV9w8oHSQdiPPk9lxqlp?si=ea594c4d1a75491a (I hope the links work lol)

2 Favorite song of all time I got two for different moods "Baggage" by Rare Americans. I can listen to it anytime and fucking 10h Maxwell the cat or any other badly rendered thing spinning as funkytown plays in the background. They're great. https://youtu.be/YRvOePz2OqQ https://open.spotify.com/track/3rU5t9hhc6oNrbRHxl1HSR?si=cf335f54b9f64f12

7 Song you used to like Hmmm… I have a few of these, but one that comes to mind is "Isä Meidän" by Turmion kätilöt I liked the song for a while, but it just stopped sounding as good as it used to and now I usually just skip it. https://open.spotify.com/track/7rdSeeSS4JcYjUQtLSuRhZ?si=c2ace4da68d74f14

15 Song you recommend I recommend "Du bist soldat" or "Wir sind Midgard" both by Erdling. They're a German rock / metal band. https://open.spotify.com/track/5Asu0FW3HlKztIPGT8KTjp?si=bfa1fe9475fe434d https://open.spotify.com/track/42LJ3BE8ftIC5F4emDqBoK?si=735b36742007450f

The warm lamplight highlighted the even paler, rougher scabs and scars that marked his skin beneath as most of the blood was cleaned off. A strange swell of curiosity rose in Leorio’s chest; there was something so distinctly human about the history a body carried, and the seemingly unflappable Hisoka was no longer an exception, but exceedingly normal.

the salty af munday meme

vanillahub asked:

✮ Have you managed to stay away from drama?

☄ Have you ever been in the middle of drama?

☯ Have you ever tried to bring peace to a situation?

✮ - I think I’m pretty good at navigating away from the drama these days. 

☄ - The one time I was kind of in the middle of drama, I didn’t even know there was drama surrounding me until someone, not realizing they were talking to me because I was on a different blog, told me they were trying to start drama with (me on a different blog.) And then I just... left the fandom entirely.

☯ - I used to be way more of a peacekeeper than I am now. If people were caught up in something I would try to mediate between groups, now I just tend to stay out of it altogether. I don’t know if that’s better or not, honestly. 

[striving-artist]

The best piece of advice I ever got was not meant as advice, but as an edict. If I was going to threaten people as a joke, it had to be so far out of proportion with what happened that it would be obvious I was joking. This changed how I expressed frustration with others. It then changed how I expressed frustration with myself.

Not “I’m going to hit you” but “I am going to buy a tuna sub from the gas station and hide it under the seat of your car”

Not “I’m going to kill myself” but “I am going to walk into the desert and let the scarabs take me”

The other side then happened. When I mess something up, instead of saying it’s bad and perpetuating negative thoughts, swing hard the other way.

Not “this art is terrible” but “this shall be framed and mounted on the wall in my museum exhibition as testament to the suffering I had to overcome”

Have been doing this since high school. It was my drama teacher who asked me to please stop scaring the actors. The other half of the edict was that I had to say it in a polite tone, and end it with either please or thank you.

Life changing. 10/10 Mr Muëller. Highly reccomend.

importantest question in the world:

whats aces favorite dessert/sweet/baked good/whatever

let’s seeeee

i like to bake a lot, but i don’t know any really Fancy fancy or super specific desserts, so you’re totally welcome to weigh in, anon

myself though, i can see something fruity (heh)- a fruit parfait comes to mind. salted caramel, maybe chocolate strawberries? the like. maybe tiramisu or macarons? they give off fruity dessert or fruit+chocolate pairing vibes, i think.

[defiledtomb]

Amazing update! Bravo!! Bravo!!!

I love how with the poly route Id’s world goes from “Oh no I can’t have feelings for them! They have a parter!” to finding out both the MC and Leith want Id and have talked about bringing them into their relationship.

Thank you!! 🤭 I always imagine L and MC discussing Id and how hot they are like

Meanwhile Id, unknowing, watches MC and L staring at them constantly, whispering to themselves, elbowing each other and giggling:

hbomberguy’s latest video on plagiarism has made me completely rethink literature and writing. I have never once so much as considered intentionally plagiarizing anyone or anything, but I think there’s something more that has come out of this: the names of the people who created the works Somerton (and others) ripped off.

Plagiarism isn’t only bad because it is lazy and disrespectful, it’s bad because it buries the truth. If you can’t find a source, the conversation is over. Somerton’s sources are fairly easy to find by simply searching his plagiarized lines, but that isn’t true in most cases. Most of the time, the line from statement to source is a lot less clear.

Today, I was writing a report on English Ivy, which is an invasive species here in the US. I wanted to know when it was introduced and I at last found a source claiming it was introduced to the Americas “as early as 1727” on a .net website that seems quite reputable (it has multiple major universities credited in its home page), but there is no citation for where this date came from. I dug deeper and found a pamphlet created by a city government in Virginia that made the same claim, only to discover the first source linked in their bibliography. Another website (a botanical garden’s page) gave the same date with the same source hyperlinked. Of course, I have classes to attend and things to do and probably not enough time to follow the lines back to where this 1727 date came from, but if I had not just watched this video, I wouldn’t have given that date a second thought.

Of course, it doesn’t matter in the long run exactly what year hedera helix was introduced to the Americas, but it makes you wonder how many facts have been so vaguely attributed that it becomes completely impossible to figure out where they originated (and further, whether or not they’re true at all).

[faffreux]

it's weird to be attracted to an ugly frog like wtf is even your taste in men

i won't argue with you about whether or not fawful is ugly but it is weird yes, i agree
