We as a fandom joke about Tim's cloning stint a lot. It was a fucked up thing for Tim to do and definitely showed off his Mad Basement Scientist vibes quite literally. It is, objectively, pretty funny.
On the other hand, how much of Tim's soul was lost that he tried 99 times to create a replication of Kon? He knew it wouldn't bring his best friend back. He knew, at best, Tim's project would be closer to Kon's biological sibling instead.
Despite that, Tim tried 99 times. Each trial might have brought him closer, but they would've taken an extreme amount of time. It would have cost so much money and resources.
Tim, as he slowly broke down in front of a glass tube that once imprisoned his friend, did not stop. He wouldn't. He couldn't. He knew Kon would hate him for this. He knew his best friend would be furious at the blatant disregard for clones. Tim was so lost that he gave up everything for a mere impression of Kon. He sacrificed his time, effort, and resources. On the line was his reputation in the hero community, relationship with Kon, and mental stability.
How lost was Tim that he did this?

What are your headcanons for arospec Sora? or any other character you want to talk about!
While I believe every character outside of the Disney confirmed couples is aro ace... I think Sora is best read as Aro Ace.
I think Sora just... doesn't understand the difference between like him and Goofy and Beauty and Beast. They are all just really good friends. Everyone is a friend, and Donald and Goofy's teasing just goes over his head and is annoying. Of Course Kairi is a friend why... why are you acting like anything is different?
Sora has a really loving heart so he does so much for his friends. As much as he can. I think that can end up biting him. (I'm writing about that in Quadratum's Crossing!) Sora just... loves everyone. Everyone is his best friend. He is so tired but he can't stop because of it. He's in a situation where if he stops, if he stops caring, if he stops loving, if he stops making friends, then universe dies. And with that, it all gets a bit... perfunctory. Can you really love someone platonically if their existince is relying on you making sure they exist even if they don't know it?
Aro Ace!Sora is the perfect Sora because Kingdom Hearts is a series about Friendship and platonic love. Romantic Love is only for when they are retelling the Disney stories. (Seriously, Cloud, Leon, Cid, Zack, Setzer (sort of), etc all have romantic interests in FF and the closest we get to romance in KH is Cloud being awkward around Tifa and Aerith) And Sora being Aro Ace means he is the fulfillment of this. He can only understand friendship, no one has clarified this for him. Of course he wants to be together forever with his friends (he misses the paopou's romantic implications and connotations), of course he wants to save everyone, they are all his friends! Why doesn't the bad guys get that?
I've just lost the plot on this ask but just, TLDR:
Sora being Aro Ace and befriending everyone is full theme of Kingdom Hearts.

idk if you remember me but im that anon who babbles about tragic themes in your fic. im only like just started on your latest chapter but i am CONSUMED by thoughts regarding parallels between Admetus and Warriors, the acts of sacrifice made for them, not out of love some perversion of fear and dread. basically one reading of alcestis wonders wether she died for him not because she loved him but in fear of what would occur if she were to not do so, dreading that he may sacrifice her children or make her miserable. wars has this capability for a mental twisting to view his loved ones as tools and means as alcestis fears her husband may in the wake of her death (see the second episode of euripides alcestis). also thinking about the role of the parent, blame and responsibility, as well as trickery and appeasement of the gods. i think your fic has really interesting play with the divine eps. in the modern timeline with sly being holy in experience and the mythos of wars’ period, there is no clear divine want, no fates to trick and beg. there is also lana though, i can see parallels in her love of wars and Apollo’s adoration of Admetus, except she has a lot more depth as a character. hmmm. sorry its like 1:30am and im rambling, my apologies, it will happen again. quite possibly in only another hour or so depending on my thoughts haha
I'm not too familiar with the story of Admetus, so I can't really add much about your analysis. But I will say that I am blushing like all hell and I am both honored and amazed that you're getting so much out of my silly little story.

ok i wanna talk about the fae in my world because ive come up with a bunch of cool lore for them and their culture, im obviously not finished yet but this is what ive got so far
ok so in my little multiverse, the most common 2 groups to be present on each earth are fae and humans. on some earths the fae are less present in the story that occurs or on some they are very present. it all depends on the awareness fae and humans have of each other.
the 2 groups are very different and have very different cultures but they have many parallels between them
like each group has 3 main aspiration groups that overlap and have specific attributes whether physical or mental. humans have the sciences, the humanities, and the arts, while the fae have the storm, the end, and the spirit
there are 3 central figures to fae culture.
the storm also known as Ebbe who represents change, unpredictability, overcoming fears, flexibility. this figure is often depicted with dragonfly wings, which is often an attribute of their followers. They are also depicted in shadow with a hood over their head, normally with only one eye glinting out of the shadow of the hood, shining like lightning. after all the future is never truly clear, even to its beloved followers.
The next is the end, also known as lady death or Synneva. She represents death, as you might’ve guessed, but also familiarity, comfort, the solid earth to Ebbe’s ever-changing skies. She is often depicted with moth’s wings similar to the death’s head hawkmoth or just as a little moth lurking in a corner ever present. it is said that she watches over every death that has ever been, rocking them into her dusty embrace. when she is depicted, her face is never in shadow, because she is always known. she doesnt hurry or rush, she knows she will have you eventually and like you can’t run from your past, you cannot run from her.
and the last is the spirit, who is the one most likely to give you his name, which is Anders by the way. He’s the brightest of the bunch representing growth, revival, and life in general. while many fae claim they see Synneva during near death experiences and Ebbe during big make or break it decisions, people often say they see Anders during their greatest moments, often cheering in the background, jumping up and down. he appears when a person is truly living. hes often depicted with bee wings, pollinating and nurturing growth around him all with a big grin on his face. life flourishes around him. But hes a trickster as well, his tricks are short term rather than the big strange inscrutable crossroads Ebbe prefers. and hes always moving, because the present stops for no one.
these 3 are the main figures in fae culture, though there are many more that are present. often the followers or fae that share the most in common with a figure will take on their attributes. Unpredictable fae like Eden have dragonfly wings, while sunny ones have bee wings like Knaff, and calm ones like Kaia have moth’s. But there are those with birds wings, like Sage, who have Sparrow’s and there are some who have no wings. But often fae do have wings, that’s why “fae” is often interchangeable with “wingfolk.” its more common to see a fae with wings than without.
Also, fae view humans as having uncanny valley as well. they find the weird bare skin they have unsettling. also plastic is fucking weird like what the hell dude, why are you guys so obsessed with using it for everything. why do keep eating so much inedible shit like asbestos and lead as well?

trying to apply for practicum right now
that isnt an email. i cant just email Baker. thats not how it works
why is there two listings for the same place with the same contact, the only difference being the abbreviation?
also, this is specifically a listing for dartmouth, not halifax, which has a different listing for nscc with a different contact. if you dont know about nova scotia, dartmouth is a part of halifax because its in the halifax regional municipality along with bedford. in american terms, imagine if you were looking for jobs in new york, and the website you were applying through only showed you jobs in the city instead of the state. also the website is nyu. its not even consistent, because the counselling services for a university thats a turn off the bedford highway is listed as being in halifax even though its, yknow, in bedford.
whatever, i found erica bakers contact from their website (which wasnt linked, i had to seek it out myself) so lets-
oh. okay. my bad.
in my defense the website is almost designed to dance around the fact that they dont do counselling without outright saying it, i cant be the first person to make this assumption
whatever, i found erica baker-gagnon's page on some weird obscure mental health linkdin or something, lets see if they have a contact.
wh
what the fuck do you
but they
pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo
