#this was so fun ive been wanting to yap about this for forever

"5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?"

This with Lee and Will, especially, but I'm actually very curious about all of cabin seven. As a whole and individually

oh baby you are going to be Mad. i need you to imagine will making these songs for his brothers:

Michael by Jenn Grant (spotify) (youtube)

Lee by Unloved (spotify) (youtube)

Lee by Nina Nastasia (spotify) (youtube)

amazing and awful things happen when you look names up on spotify. highly recommend. i am currently looking for diana and cass and i will reblog this when i have them.

IN ADDITION music that is v will coded i have a whole playlist actually. its for the road trip au 👀👀 and some of it is will singing in my head and some of it is him covering, but its here!! im working on it actively.

WHEN i think of this one-off part (not one-off i tried to write it causally but he fucking occupies 72% of the space in my brain so bad so constantly) i wrote:

"He says it quiet like he does at the campfire, when it’s only the older kids left but she’s managed to stick around, holding her breath so they won’t notice and send her away. When Will lies back on a log and matches his breathing to the flames, eyes unseeing, and Annabeth watches him carefully and whispers, “Play us something, Will.” And he picks up the guitar he keeps dusty under his bed and sings something soft like there’s no hardness left inside him. No bowstring."

i am feral and i have several songs that i think will would sing here:

Drown Me by Dasha (spotify) (youtube)

girl i've always been by Olivia Rodrigo (spotify) (youtube)

All I've Built by Holden Miller (spotify) (youtube)

i also feel like will & kayla & austin sing What Is This Feeling? from the Wicked Soundtrack (spotify) (youtube) when they're tense & need to laugh during long infirmary shifts & other nerds join in LOL

not will or cabin 7 but No More ?'s by Eazy-E (spotify) (youtube) is a song percy listens to just All the time

I ALSO sometimes think will is so repressed he could just Let Loose and write something mad and hurting and just explosive. these are the songs (they are mostly demi lovato who i feel has a lot or parallels w will actually):

Give Your Heart A Break (Revamped) by Demi Lovato (spotify) (youtube)

Heart Attack (Revamped) by Demi Lovato (spotify) (youtube)

Beautiful Things by Benson Boone (spotify) (youtube) *look i know its overplayed now but when i was assigning it to will it was brand new LOL

most of HOLY FVCK by Demi Lovato (spotify) (youtube) (ESPECIALLY City of Angels)

i have in depth lore for all of these btw. like entire storylines about them feel free to ask me about them

some misc songs that make me think of will or solangelo (a lot for naomi tbh yall'll see) or the likes:

Cleopatra by The Lumineers (spotify) (youtube) (will made song)

After Midnight by Chappell Roan (spotify) (youtube) (will made song)

Good Luck, Babe! by Chappell Roan (spotify) (youtube) (naomi made song)

Slow It Down by Benson Boone (spotify) (youtube) (song makes me think of solangelo)

Dandelions by Ruth B. (spotify) (youtube) (will made song)

Orpheus by Vincent Lima (spotify) (youtube) (song makes me think of cabin 7)

Eurydice by Vincent Lima (spotify) (youtube) (song makes me think of cabin 7)

Hair Toss, Arms Crossed by Mark Ambor (spotify) (youtube) (song makes me think of solangelo)

Austin by Dasha (spotify) (youtube) (naomi song)

Dying Star by Ashnikko (spotify) (youtube) (will made song)

Suneater by Leanna Firestone (spotify) (youtube) (song makes me think of solangelo)

July by Noah Cyrus (spotify) (youtube) (song makes me think of solangelo)

Line Without a Hook by Ricky Montgomery (spotify) (youtube) (ong makes me think of solangelo

Summer by Kesha (spotify) (youtube) (song makes me think of solangelo)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

@forgettable-au go read :3 👍

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WINGDINGS HES BAAACCCCKKK

- INTRODUCTION

OH MY GOD UUUUUGGGGHHHHHHHH okay. so I think the reason why I have such a strong reaction is because (im crazy, but also) its been quite a bit since we’ve seen a one on one between these 2 dummies (genius scientists) AND THIS ONE IS REALLY SAD KNOWING WHAT THIS PROJECT WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME.

But before going through the pages themselves, I want to first acknowledge the fact that. Wingdings didn’t acknowledge/tell Sans about the tape. That was PROOF of time travel, WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS????????? 😭

WHAT IS HE THINKING IN THAT SICK BRAIN OF HIS- but lets be real for a sec, ive been putting off examining this fact for a bit now, because It was unclear if Wingdings would eventually tell Sans about the tape, but now it has been made very clear that he has absolutely no plans of giving up that piece of information. And that. Confuses me- IN A GOOD WAY Im confused but im INTRIGUED

and NOT because Wingdings isnt telling him, but because he IS telling Sans about his research…So whats the purpose of controlling information like this when it’d be vital to their research?? Well, i’ll get into that after I actually analyze the pages…

- THE PAGES!

…sorry- I also want to first acknowledge one of the tags- bare with me

- …NOT THE PAGES…?

“I think its very interesting how much more energetic and talkative Wingdings is with Sans compared to how he acts with Alphys” I TOO FIND THAT VERY. VERY. INTERESTING. I have never consciously acknowledged this fact as it HAS been shown in earlier pages! I just didn’t think about it….But now that it has entered my brain, it will be here forever. Just…watching me.

Wingdings talks in full caps multiple times, which also makes me really sad HE’S ALWAYS MASKING SO HARD IT MAKES ME REALLY EMOTIONAL AS SOMEONE WHO ALSO TALKS REALLY LOUDLY AND USES A LOT OF HAND GESTURES.

I just needed to acknowledge that.

…

theres a reason why I love Papyrus so much. autism

- THE PAGES!!!!!!!

First thing I noticed since it was already on the last page of the last update- was Wingdings using the talking stick and pointing it at Sans heheheh makes me giggle so much, that adds to how much I love the set up to this conversation in general. Sans is just sat down looking up as his brother as he yaps about his newest hyperfixation.

I also do find it fun how the soul project will in fact intertwine with what they’ll later discover, I also wonder what and how they’ll use Determination, if at all in this equation. I assume so since thats sorta the whole point of the timelines being all funky, but we’ll just have to see…

And GOD I could yap about the brothers interactions all day… “I trust youre smart enough to-“ STOP RIGHT THERE SANS.

“You cant observe time, Dings” THAT CHART IN THE “DINNER IS NOT OVER” AMV SAYS DIFFERENT- SANS.

Though I really like Wingdings’ point here on how humans have forgotten magic, and so what they/we define as impossible may not be so to Monsters. Sans’ face in page 2 also- I love it. It’s just like “alr i have my doubts but i’m hearing you out bro-“

BUT MY FAVORITE BIT BY FAR IS THE FACE SMACK/WINGDINGS GETTING ALL UP CLOSE EHVHEHEHEH IT’S SO THEM!!!! THE THEY!!!! THEY ARE THE OF ALL TIME!!!!??!?!?!?!?! Wingdings is just so passionate and Sans is so willing to go along with whatever, AND THAT REMAINS TRUE FOR HIM AND PAPYRUS THROUGH AND THROUGH, AND IT JUST BREAKS MY HEART!!!!!

Also as a side note, some of the tags noted that the backgrounds were a pain, and while I agree they are- OUGH THEY LOOK SOOOO GOOD

Sans’ note here about “You’re the boss” makes me ponder on how…why not Sans? why isn’t HE the royal scientist? well! because he’s a simple man who doesn’t have the ambition that Wingding does. He both doesn’t want to be it, and I imagine doesn’t have the will power to be the boss, lets be real.

- THE PAGES (MORE OF THEM) (EXCEPT IM CRYING!!!)

This moment might actually…like.

I just stare at my hands.

There so much to unpack here, in just these 2 frames. It’s actually driving me crazy just a little bit- “You’ve always been the one with the crazy ideas.” and “Sure, let’s do it.” First, its the dialogue, then, its the FACE. Despite Sans hearing out Wingdings, and certainly being curious about it alongside him, he also still very clearly doubts it will go anywhere/be even possible. But that doesn’t change the fact that he has FAITH in his brother, he trusts him, he knows that whatever Wingdings is interested in, its worth researching

It just goes to show that Sans willing to go to the ends of the earth with his brother. To attempt the impossible.

***ssiiiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhhh**

I don’t appreciate this.

- BRIEFLY BACK TO PAGES! (WE’RE ALMOST DONE)

Then Sans reminding Wingdings that Alphys exists 😭 It makes me sad that she’s not in on this explanation, but I get why…I still wonder how Wingdings feels about her, how he feels about getting her involved, i wonder if he’ll fight back at all. I dont personally think so, but also if he did it wouldnt surprise me much-

- THE TAPE. *fnaf ambiance*

Whenever I question why Wingdings doesn’t tell Sans about the tape, I tell myself that he’ll just tell him later and theres nothing to analyze! BUT AT THIS POINT I HIGHLY DOUBT IT. So! I want to ponder on that fact.

Wingdings gets Sans involved, but not wholly so.

Well lets first breakdown what the tape said/the contents of the tape as a whole- REWIND THE CLOCK

It talks about how there is something BEYOND the surface, and they must prepare the entire world for its influence. Its also in wingdings’ voice- so that may be a tad concerning. Maybe thats why? not because of the contents but because he doesn’t want Sans to hear that and go “YOU DON’T SOUND WELL- BRO-“.

…Thats my new headcanon/theory I think. “It does not resemble something he would say…yet it is undeniably wingdings.”

…in conclusion: WHERE IS ALPHYS???

[wassupmygays]

yap about ur headcanons about the socs pls!!

heheeh okay some misc things about the soc guys that have popped into my head throughout the week (im sorry this is so long)

EDIT: ok ive put it all under the cut bc it got so long but i do yap a little bit about each soc guy so please read hehe :)

Chet

chet and his family moved from california when he was in 3rd grade. his first friend in town was one sodapop curtis on his little league baseball team

his dad is a cop and wants to advance up the ranks, and his mom wants to make sure they keep up their good social standing, so chet was not friends with soda for long

you know those boys in like 5th grade that crack all the dumb jokes, hit all the door frames, and tease every girl "because he likes her"? thats chet and trip

this is inspired by @/sky4cherry iirc but chet does Nawt get attention at home man. his dad is always busy with work and a little mean (yknow how dads are in the 60s) and his mom is always working on the next social function or trying to appease his dad. anyways he is just always at another soc guy's house just to have someone Talk to him

i think he picks up drinking and smoking, and fighting, for a similar reason to bob: he just wants his parents to fucking notice he's doing something wrong. but theyre high enough now in the social and job spaces that they can just wipe any misdemeanors under the rug

i cant decide if chet is an only child, or if he has like 2 siblings that are way older than him. idk

Trip

terrance dipp is The Exasperated older brother ever. bro did Nawt want a little brother sorry melvin.

anyways unfortunately i do think trip is very much a guy's guy. that boy is Not a good boyfriend to marcia unfortunately :(((((( at least by the time we get to their sophomore year/the show

him and chet can not be sat together in class. they will never shut up or stop hitting each other.

chet broke his arm one time in like 6th grade. trip threatens to break it again at least once a month

ive said this before but ill say it again: trip and melvin are just soc steve and ponyboy. trip is so tired of his kid brother being in all his sports and trying to tag along to everything

that being said, he was looking out for melvin so much during the rumble. he knew their mom would kill him if he brought his brother home all beat up, but also he really really didn't want him to get too hurt.

he Always goes to marcia to patch him up after hes been in a fight. (after the rumble though, him and marcia are on the rocks, and hes got melvin to worry about. so he just sneaks melvin home and tries to clean him up before their mom sees. its actually a sweet bonding moment between them i think)

trip lovesssss verbally poking fun at any greaser in school, especially two-bit. after he realizes two-bit likes marcia, his mean jokes become a lot more threatening

(i do love trip i promise i just also think hes kinda a mean guy. you know the kind of rowdy douche bags in high school im talking about. im so sorry ksco and sean jones i promise i love trip kdjfkdjf)

Brill

clark brillstein i'll be so incredibly honest i dont have much in my brain for him :((( i gotta sit and think more

i do think he has one of the better home lives out of the bunch, and hes got his lovely perfect girlfriend, and hes good at sports, and honestly i think he just. gets tired of everyone thinking hes got it so perfect all of the time. i think maybe thats why he likes all the fighting so much

while he is relatively happy with his life rn, hes tired of being doted on like hes perfect. and also sometimes he sees everyone else's lives being so shitty, he feels likes hes got to pick fights to justify him feeling bad about his lot.

Paul

ohhh im gonna have to hold myself back from talking about him forever. he will get his own post at some point aDKFJDKFJK

anyways. paul holden. the messiest and most scared gay kid in the town of tulsa

i think he and bob literally grew up together. like their parents are Old old friends, so paul and bob have always basically been brothers despite a 2/3 ish year age difference (i dont feel like doing the exact math). i think bev's parents are also in this old friend group, so pauls known her forever too

anyways. he was probably the bob of his friend group in his class, which is why nobody really really protested darry being in their group. but i also think that when he was with darry, paul didnt really care about the whole social friend group of things too much.

contrary to popular belief i dont think paul is the friend-group-leader type. idk if that makes sense and i can yap about it more but.

anyways post-darry breakup paul is a fucking mess. hes sad and angry and those fights that darry was always trying to stop feel so damn good. maybe bob and his buddies are on to something, and bob's dad always has a full liquor cabinet

Bob

obviously we know the most about bob and his home life and inner psyche and reasons for fighting and honestly all of it really resonates in my brain. like yea im keeping all of that

bro has charisma to the max. like he has always been the ringleader of the friend group, even in like 4th grade when all the boys started becoming best buddies

he used to be such a mommas boy. before her praise just became so meaningless.

oh ive just had a revelation. he is an angrier and more resigned buddy aldridge from rotpl. his dad is pulling the strings to make sure his precious son is climbing all the right ladders.

the difference here tho is bob realized this earlier, and that started his spiral into fights and drinking and causing problems. he wanted to see what would finally make his dad stop covering and fixing everything for him. he never found that limit

he knows cherry cant stand the drinking, and i do think he does feel bad about ignoring her feelings about it. but his urge to push back against everything and spit in the face of anyone who tries to tell him how he should be just overpowers. and god everything is more fun when hes boozed up

[danrifics]

honestly this week has made me wish i had more irl people to yap about dnp cos like ive been with phannies for the last 4 days and all we’ve done is talk about dan and phil and it’s been so fun and i want that forever like wdym i have to go back to work on monday and be “normal”?

[angelwishess]

OMG OMG WHAT DO YOU THINK THE KYRA AND YUMI FRIENDSHIP WOULD BE LIKE 😼😼😼

HEHEHE.. IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS *rubs hands together like an evil fly*

YUMI !!

I definetly think Kyra appreciates and treasures Yumi’s friendship ALOT. Like. Seriously 😭

Yumi makes her feel like just a normal teenage girl, and it makes her so unbelivably happy!!! Even if she doesn’t say it outloud, she adores Yumi and looks forward to hanging out with her!! I’d go as far as to say she’d probably be one of her best friends.

I mentioned this before in the past— but Kyra loves anyone whos considered “weird”. She thinks theyre so fun, and the more eccentric the better! And she loves Yumi a lot !! /p

She enjoys listening to her yap about whatever is on her mind, even if she is a little boy crazy which she can’t exactly relate to, but she really tries her best to !!

^^ In an attempt to try and relate to her in that aspect she definetly started talking about Floyd despite her not realizing how she feels for him yet LMAO

Kyra ADORESS her style !! She loves how she always changes up her look, and how colorful she is!! She thinks Yumi is sooo pretty, and likes to play with her hair !!

Always invites her out on her escapades to do— seven knows what, it’ll end in chaos regardless if she means to or not, but either way it’ll be fun. And she loves having fun with her friends !!

Kyra would definetly act as some sort of wingwoman for Yumi, somehow always giving Yumi and Jade the chance to be alone (she usually drags Floyd into it to help her HEHE)

Kyra is especially interested in her rollerblading !!! Shes never heard or seen anything like it before, so shes really curious! Definetly asks Yumi to teach her how to rollerblade!

^^ after alot, ALOT of tripping, and failing, and running into things— Kyra eventually gets the hang of it !! And maybe they go out to town just rollerblading around, chatting and hanging out wherever they feel like at the moment!!!

Whenever Kyra feels like doing something spnontaneous, if not Floyd she’ll call up Yumi to see if she wants to join her! Whether its going out to get ice cream at 2 AM, or pranking one of the dorms, she’ll invite Yumi in on the fun :33

She likes doing the cliche things teenage girls do with Yumi. Like I said earlier, it makes her feel normal. Like shes human, and she really appreciates it. Even if its a little cheesey, she adores every little moment of it, and she hopes that they stay friends forever <3

Well, they ended up being sisters in law so, wish granted!!

HEHEHE THIS WAS SOO FUN TO WRITE OUT !!! THE CUTIEST GIRLS EVERR !! <33

I LOVE SHIP BINGO!!!!!!!! Hold on obligatory jamiazurido and ALSO (spinning a wheel for randomized ships) riddle x ace,,, jamisil,, annnd cayvil 😌

YAAAAAAY PUTTING UNDER THE CUT BC BINGOS R BIG AND I LIKE TO YAP ALSO

[SEND ME SHIP BINGOS]

jamiazurido my beloved ive been thinking about them the past Several Days

im so close to bingo on these but fjkldshfl like i enjoy them equally as both a ship and also as friends lol I LOVE WHEN THEYRE IN SITUATIONS TOGETHER!!!! I THINK THEY SHOULD HOLD HANDS WHILE TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER!! JAMIL AND RIDDLE SHOULD UNIONIZE AGAINST AZUL FOR FUN!!! i like them both in a comedy way but also in a more than comedy way but like comedy is my favorite thing so of course im going to fixate on how Funny They Are. and they are so so sososososososoooo funny forever AND PEOPLE ARE SLEEPING ON THEM FOR REAL!!!! it's wild like jamil/azul is decently popular and riddle/azul also is. but where is the polyship love. where is the riddle/jamil love. hello can anyone hear me. i had a vague idea for a fic for the three of them the other day but i gotta let the idea marinate longer so i can write something.... also i want to study these beasts under a microscope in general the ship really has nothing to do with it LOL

riddle/ace

yknow ive been exposed to this ship a lot more lately by proxy LOL and tbh i vibe with riddle x anyone in heartslabyul... theyre all Really Cute... anyway i cheated a lil with some of these also bc like i do have feelings about them but the boxes werent really conveying much of what i thought LOL like i think i like they more passively, like i DO enjoy them but i generally dont go out of my way looking for them. but i think theres a lot there w/how they interact with each other in the main story w/their character foiling or w/e.. theyre good for each other... plus i do go bonkers any time riddle refers to any of them as his card soldiers LOL that fits in the "aesthetic" spot for me..... queen of hearts and his loyal card soldiers wuwuwuwfhwehfhhs

OKAY SILVER/JAMIL:

next time i do need to check if a bingo card has more middle feeling spots LOL maybe i should make my own. but anyway theyre another one thats like, yeah i dont actively think about it that much but i HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT IT and like. i vibe with it. i dig it. i see the vision. ive considered it ive chewed on it jfsjflkshg whenever i think of them i always think of their interactions in the halloween 2 event lol. in my mind palace i think jamil would follow silver around trying to get more Mysterious Dad Lore and then falls in love w/silver accidentally in the process of trying to learn about said mysterious dad lol. plus i think they could bond over being sworn protector retainer types albeit for VERY different reasons. like a similarity but also an extreme difference in vibe. i think there could be something there tho, like it would make for a very interesting conversation if they got close enough to get open and vulnerable about it. maybe angsty even.

but also theyre FUNNYYYY hehehe

omg cayvil. i read that three times and my brain kept overwriting it as cayrook LOL FJDKSLFJSL thankfully i checked Again,,,,,,,,, anyway:

I REALLY LIKE CAYVIL. I think they were one of my first twst ships bc of vil's original non engtwst version of his R uniform card story. where cater like literally flirts w/vil bc he wants a pic of him for magicam lol. shore u could argue his interest with vil is surface level but i think the FUN of SHIPS and IMAGINATION is the ten billion ways you can interpret character behaviors and interactions.... and i think they could have a slow burn annoying classmates to friendship to romance type deal.... i like what they have lol of like sometimes vils like cater 😑but then other times theyre shown to get along decently well and they work well together in events LIKE IN BELOVED EVIL PUPPET LAND EVENT!!! i think they could be good for each other heehehehhe. ive never written a fic for them and i dont draw them as often as i draw other shippies but they ARE on my mind VERY OFTEN. a key component of the third years toxic polycule vortex of divorce situationship marriage whatever LOL JKLSDFJSKDLHG

okay anyway yay ty for ENABLING ME AS WELL!!!

[vldfix]

OBSESSED WITH VOLTRON STILL IN THIA DAY AND AGE??? LETS GO 😔🗣️😭☹️ iv always wanted to know more peoples thoughts on how awkward it must have been for the rebel coalition and blade of marmora to interact and work together 😔 also what are your thoughts on the mfes (can u tell im a sucker for the side characters?) anyways i hope u have a really nice day 😊 sorry if this ask came off too strong btw hehehehe

FIRST OF ALL ILYSM HELLO. background characters are my all time favs forever and ever. for the rebels and the bom i feel like it probably would’ve been awkward iwl bc if i was one of the rebels and i wasn’t informed about the blades i would be hella confused.

SECOND OF ALL I LOVE YOU BECAUSE THE MFE PILOTS ARE MY ACTUAL FAVS. ina leifsdottir is my fav mfe pilot by far i have so many headcanons for her (wink wink nudge nudge) very very close second to leifsdottir is ryan kinkade because oh i love that man so much. SO MUCH. beyond comprehension. i love nadia rizavi so much also because she’s so epic and fun and awesome. and this may be problematic but i do love james griffin as well, i hate his past actions obviously with how he bullied keith but i feel like he had his character development and he grew up so i can’t help but love him because MFE PILOTS AHHHHH .

anyway thank you so much for this ask and sorry for the yap fest 😭

[windupbastion]

as a FFXIV player I am VERY curious to learn more about bastion’s lore!!! Is there anything you’d be able to share?? Like, maybe for example.. what are his canon classes and when/why did he pick each of them up?

I hope that this is alright! And that you are having a good whatever-time-of-day-it-currently-is-for-you!~

WAAA hihi!!!!

SO this will maybe be kind of a partial answer because its an aspect of his character stuff im actively working on (ignore the fact i did write a small essay under the readmore)!! i wanna try to start actually answering asks or floating ideas even if its not 100% set in stone bc knowing myself ill get too caught up wanting to replay the entirety of msq and read everything three times to make sure i know Exactly what im talking about. and if i do that it will take 50 years to get anything done or answered <:3

that being said. tldr im playing around w the idea of his canon classes being

- realm reborn: acranist/summoner

- heavensward: red mage

- stormblood: samurai

- shadowbringers: dark knight/black mage

- endwalker: paladin

more thoughts under the cut :3 im certain i missed smth obvious.

for context before i start truly yapping in game ive mostly stuck with samurai bc i was too scared to branch out and have only Just started scratching the surface w other classes.... to say nothing of actually getting into the job quests and stories and whatnot. plus i played thru arr/hw/a lot of stb Literal Years ago before taking a huge break and only just returning recently... so a lot of early msq is truthfully fuzzy for me.. (=w=) all that being said.

the only thing set in stone right now is bastions starting class with arcanist into summoner!! #limsagirlies <3333 while esp early game hes not doing well and is terrified of everything, he is forever and always defined by a desire to explore and learn things and didnt necessarily have the chance to do that at all with his pre msq circumstances, so i think the moment he had the opportunity to pick up a book and start learning things he took it and ran <3 also i just think its very fitting for his first step to be the "summon a friend so youre never alone" class. you know arr bastion is emotionally dependent on his carbungle :3

i do think towards the end of realm reborn he starts realizing how much shit hes in and comes to the conclusion he needs to get physically stronger too so i could see him starting to dip into red mage for heavensward so he can really get his hands on a weapon. still gets to stick to using magic but now he has a Sord <3 also red mage looks really cool.....

his class around stormblood is definitely gonna be samurai... id like to replay this general part of msq to really refresh myself i dont have too much to say lol and it feels like a rly obvious pick since its my actual main class in game... i think stormblood got the worst of my memory problems tbh

for shb i could see him starting out picking up dark knight (im thinking back in hw he messed with it a little meeting fray and whatnot but wasnt able to fully embrace it until now) though.... i can make it sad. so i will. his classes have been getting steadily more into physical combat and big swords but i think as shb goes on and he gets progressively more fucked up lightwarden style he starts to regress back into wanting to stick with spellcasting/becomes too weak to reliably fight physically the way he has been. (bonus points what if he tried to pick summoner back up but got too upset bc his emotional support carbuncle now looks about as corrupted with light as he does :3c.....) no i think itd be fun for him to pick up black mage around this point. i think clothing wise he probably also uses it as an excuse to start wearing more long robes and clothes that cover up what is happening to him so no one worries <3

a little uncertain past this point for endwalker though im leaning towards paladin (it helps that the lb3 for paladin is quite literally called Last Bastion). something something finally comfortable living up to his name protecting and fighting for what he believes in <3 also i ahm. ummm. i like the idea of him looking like a dashing little knight <:3 im sure gwaha does too.

and final note i took a break after finishing endwalkies so i have no real thoughts regarding post edw/dawntrail yet...

(truthfully i was SO interested in you talking abt clio n lorenzas classes a while back. it was so so in depth and interesting and i love the idea of hybrid classes or just one class picking up skills and flavoring from another and how they blend togther... i do think i need to get the barebones of bastions Everything down before i get into finer details like specific stances and skills and styles of fighting. but i was super looking at how you break down clio n lorenzas classes its so so good!!!)

[many-gay-magpies]

1, 3, 20, 25 for the dbd ask game!!

ahh thank you anon!! these questions are so delightful to answer <3 (adding a readmore because i once again yapped like a madman. i implore my non-dbd followers to scroll down to the answer to the last question, which is me saying why i would recommend the show, because really i would recommend it to everyone all the time. forever)

1. Who is your favourite character?

I think Charles has pretty completely solidified himself as my favorite by this point, but Crystal is a close second.

Idk, with Charles, it's just like. not surprising at all, cuz I have a pattern of adoring characters with physically abusive dads and emotional repression issues, which is a bill he definitely fits. but also he's just so. sweet and silly and he has the prettiest smile known to man and the biggest brownest eyes on this earth. And he's SO INCREDIBLY PROTECTIVE and so devoted to the people he loves, and he tries to be so good because nothing was ever good enough for his dad, and he probably bases his worth on his ability to protect and defend his loved ones because if he can't protect them then what is he even good for? he's the brawns not the brain, build for taking the hits (because that's all he could do for his dad), and he's so so kind and loving, but also so angry, and I just love him so much.

Then Crystal is just... SO interesting and such a good character and thinking about her past makes me want to cry. She was born to parents who probably never should have been parents in the first place, who spoiled her with money and material objects but never gave her their attention, so she rebelled and started acting out because why would they care? theyve never cared about anything else she's done (but maybe, feeling their dissapointment when she did something bad was as close as she ever got to feeling loved). she was mean and cruel and manipulated people for laughs, but when all her memories of her life before were wiped away and she wound up in a situation with people who actually cared about her, she got BETTER. she had a shit childhood and was a shitty person because of it but she's also so kind and feels everything so, so deeply and I just adore her man.

3. A character you think is underrated/ underappreciated.

mannnnn i'd be inclined to say crystal but ive actually seen so so many posts talking about the exact same things i was just saying and touting their love for her in all her messed-up complicated teenage girl glory, so. crystal is nowhere near as under-appreciated as she could be and its a fucking BLESSING.

otherwise i'd say maybe tragic mick? he's so cool man. he's a walrus stuck on land looking like a man. he has an absolutely killer magic shop. is he immortal? idk but that magic shop is old as hell and he has the sense of having hung around a while. i think it would be fun if sedna cursed him to stay human but made him immortal while she was at it. he tried to stop esther from making the machine that drains ghosts, and yet all esther's torture couldn't have happened the way it did without him, because everything she had she bought from his store. where did he get all that stuff? does he buy from collectors? did he travel the world accumulating stuff to try and find a way to turn back into a walrus and realize it would make a killer business? he has untapped relationship potential if youre the shippy sort, like with the cat king and also kashi, which i am going to make a post about as soon as i finish this ask because ive just had a fucking EPIPHANY. tragic mick rocks

20. Which characters style do you like the best?

i think probably crystal and niko, with charles coming in after them. crystal feels closest to my own personal style, all artsy and thrown together and kind of thrifty-looking, and i respect it very much and also think we could swap clothes (or like, i could donate her my clothes, and if she had baggy jackets they might fit me. girlie is short as hell). then niko's style is more, like, organized and thought-out than mine, but i absolutely ADORE her bright colors and fully-coordinated makeup and hairstyles and accessories and god she is just goals. then of course charles is wonderfully underground 80's punk and i adore it.

25. Why do you recommend the show?

god why WOULDNT i recommend the show? i think literally my only gripe is how short it is, but that's the fault of modern streaming culture. literally everything else about it i can think of is fucking amazing, no notes.

in a more general surface-level sense, it is wonderfully campy and fun and just SUCH a great spooky, adventurous watch! but then it fucking battering rams you in the chest with excellent character dynamics and complex characterization and soul-grabbing devotion and character development. it has some of the best and most complex female characters i've seen on television—women that are allowed to mess up and do bad things but still be fundamentally GOOD characters—and some of the most heart-capturing friendships/relationships ive ever had the pleasure of witnessing, of course with charles and edwin first and foremost, but also with edwin and niko, edwin and crystal, charles and crystal, jenny and niko and crystal, just fucking ALL OF THEM. there's so much fucking LOVE in these eight episodes, clearly woven into every scene and snatch of dialogue.

it also has one of my favorite villains ever in the form of esther, just. full unapologetic morally irreprehensible evil badass of all time. yeah she feeds kids to her giant snake to stay young and beautiful, its honestly NBD. she is the most wonderful evil hot terrible villain of all time and i love her, and i love how EVERYONE ELSE loves her. also her downfall was so fucking satisfying and perfect and i adored it, really just peak justice being served in the wickedest way possible.

ive said this before but dead boy detectives has the sense of having some of the most REALISTIC characters and dialogue ive ever seen, with the way they speak and react to things and such, without having the like. "haha we're so REALISTIC and GRIM and GRITTY and DARK, look at how realistic we are. humanity sucks and no one is good and everything is ironic because nothing really matters" tone of some tv these days. it feels like real complex people got shoved into a fun campy supernatural universe and it's fucking EVERYTHING.

if anyone reading this has not seen the show, i say please please do watch it—not just to get us more views for hope of the cancellation being retracted or anything, i dont honestly have that much hope of it succeeding. but ill say watch it anyway, because its just so wholly amazingly GOOD and i think everyone deserves to see it—if it gets renewed, or if it NEVER does and this one season is all we get of it. its still just such a fucking fantastic work of cinema, and the ending is hopeful enough to feel like a satisfying closing point even without a second season to wrap up the more ongoing plotpoints.

[tommy-h-bff]

i got the confidence of a silly jingly broken porcelain clown

i just dont care anymore broh

i dont

i mean i give a fuck for the sake of other who just wanna live who never bothered anybody

you challenge my worth based on how i express my individual mind?

then fuck you.

aint that funny, bitch?

how i dont care about you either?

mhm. shoo. youre so fucking boring ugghhh.

idk um? its because you think im foolish for being brave

for only being me. dont get it fucking twisted, though.

i did try to .. impress others just to love me?

because i have a gift. that makes me worth more than others.

pretty? no. well, a little. when i feel like it.

sh sh sh im not betterrrr and ive always acknowledged this, i just- went with it. FOR FUN!

like a fucking disco party. oooo shiny, LETS DANCE AND GROOVE.

ppppbbbpbbbbt

i have photo memory and i can remember all the nitty gritty details. dead ass broh. i can freestyle it.

i look once and reference my memory through pure emotion.

i can visualize and storytell, finding joy from showing the beauty of underdogs i know were missed.

forgotten and i gathered these characters and illustrated their very own unique narrative that gives them worth and real meaning

guess who sniffed it out?

wolf packs. they look .. and pretend.. that theyre different too.

mmmmmMMMMMGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH

anyways so i HAD THIS SUPER COOL BEST FRIEND RIGHT

so cool that i wonder if i actually fell in love

but its so much more casual and light-hearted, right? respectful… and always awesome.

she made me always laugh because she was fearless.

always herself and did her own thing, and i use to misunderstand her anger as something mean and cruel

no she was just very sick, and very tired. of all the bullshit and didnt care about little fake ass bitches ruining her fun.

a riot. i loved her so much. my bets fucking friend and it shattered me when i lost her.

yet she made me carry this memory of confidence to always live for myself and say fuck all the rest who think they can stand in my way.

thats so fucking real and i never had a friend i talked to every day for hours. we yapped for hours on end and life got harder,

made us sicker and more miserable, until radio silence. i felt her gone before i ever knew. she passed away last year, may 10th.

she had so much pain and i was so used to her coming back through but she didnt.

i miss her? so fucking much. i do. every single day. always and forever because i loved my best friend, codie, with all my heart.

she could write billy really fucking good, ok. we shipped them and it was really fun, like an adventure, like they were ride or die.

we honored them because those boys are the true misfits you cannot see.

gay, rebellious, hellions who rage like a hurricane in a birthday party. idek broh.

ive been trying to honor my friend and work it out creatively. i know i can.

but.. should i? mm nn mmmmm!

why? so i can impress the cults of fake fuck friendship is magic? neiiggjhhh ppbbbb

or set myself up for a scam that will harvest my love that honors the memory of my best friend?

mmmmm….. hmmmmm? mm.. yeah idk broh its hard

ive had to fully lock my consciousness into fight or flight mode because as im trying to find peace in her departure

ive been battle a shock of terror that fucked me OUT OF MY GOD DAMN RATIONAL MIND

i told her so many times that i just wanted to give up on life because i could never be happy!

“nooo. you have to live. you can work and do it. you can live YOUR LIFE AND KEEP GOING.”

yeah. she saved my life. i felt bad because i knew she never could. i live for her.

sometimes i wonder if im in so much pain from losing her that the memory of her spirit possesses me

i get mad? ill act like her. it used to make me feel bad when i was mean to others. it doesnt anymore.

codie stripped my fear of people away from me.

i do not give a fuck anymore. its just the grief of being haunted by the failure i blame myself for.

always tell myself, “oh you fucking asshole. idiot. you couldve been a better friend in that moment of time! she needed you!”

i feel the echoing reassurance that im wrong

its not your fault, its not your fault, she was sick and has been dealing with it for quite some time and she handled it so well that you gave the benefit of the doubt that in time, it would all eventually feel okay again. we could FINALLY BE HAPPY.

mmmmm.. i mean? eh.

ill still say im so fucking sorry. you had to deal with all that pain and deep down you knew it was just the way it had to be,

no?? no. it didnt. ill always love her, and no one can EVER make me feel otherwise. i KNEW HER. i knew who she was through all the pain so fuck you. you cant tell me she was ever wrong or that she didnt matter, because YOU TWO SEPARATED. THAT IS YOU, AND HER.

ill defend her because i fucking know better, bitch.

and you know what gives me disclosure?

she is free. free from all this FUCKING BULLSHIT. good yes, and im hoping she just.. fell asleep. with her kitty cat ever so peacefully.

mhm i investigated and i fucking KNOW BUT

i cant dig deeper i cant because if i do?

ill kill. i know i will. shes gone. and i have to just fucking accept that.

phew okay so if YOU THINK YOU CAN JUDGE?

then um yeah fuck you

youre not my real friend

i had one and she died

no one can compare and thats a fact so shut the fuck up

[vivisols]

Hi Vivisols! Or i guess Vivian now, feels disrespectful to call you that for some reason because its been too long.

Im one of your long time missing anons! I bet you wont guess who until the end! Hehe

Just wanted to stop by and say hi! For the first time in ages, I’m soooooo sorry to have left out of the blue without a proper goodbye, and I know despite my anon status it felt like we were good enough acquaintances that you deserved a goodbye!

Are you well? I hope so! Any new projects? Anything I’ve missed?

I’ve been quite okay despite it all! And Ive been thinking about your fics a lot recently, I’ll definitely be rereading them soon. And hey! Maybe I’ll stop on by when I’ve done so!

Here’s something positive before I sign off.

From what little we’ve interacted, I’ve always gotten a determined feeling from you, a confident attitude. You’ve always seemed like the type to keep pushing even when times got tough, or the very least pick yourself up, and try again, and I hope you keep that quality.

Enjoy yourself and the time you have, be cringe and free, share every story you’ve ever wanted to share, even if you dont finish them, and love what you want to love.

Your soul is beautiful, thank you for letting it thrive.

Goodbye for now, but definitely not forever!

Yours truly,

~Recommendation Anon~

P.S. I have nothing to recommend! Im so mad! It would’ve been so fun to just plop something in your hands before leaving again. Maybe reread a story you havent thought about in awhile! I always love giving my favorites a reread. Okay bye bye! ❤️

ive got a few projects I mainly wanna do planned out, particularly a new DCA fic and a DCA visual novel, yet alas... writing em just doesnt wanna happen. but dont worry! this is part of the cycle for me xD i have really really REALLY good period of writing then BOOM. months of writers block lmao. so i wouldn't say you've missed much! besides me getting dragged by my hyperfixations into 300 new fandoms hahaha xD

if you do decide to reread em, feel free to come on back if you want to! i still love them deeply, nd i still love the DCA. id be down to yap about them so much x3 (also: cannot believe claw at the stars is over a year old. and the future stares back is ALMOST a year old.... the passage of time... scary)

AND THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH! that means a LOT to me to hear!! i cant express how much I needed to hear that rn but awe thank you!!!!! i teared up a little ngl THANK YOUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!! SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
