THE SAME PLUSH CREATOR FOR THE LUMITY PLUSHES HAS PLANS FOR A WILLOW AND HUNTER PLUSH SET LETS GOOOOO

[sunsetcarnation264]

So, uh, that DT17 finale huh?

I would've made this right after I watched the finale, but I wanted to give it a bit of time to sink in fully and made sure I thought everything through before giving my thoughts on it. Not the worst finale there is, but it definitely could've been way better in my opinion. I've heard about the finale from my friends who've seen it, which from the sounds of it I already wasn't liking it, but since I've seen the finale now, how I feel about it is now concrete and set in stone and I feel the same as before. Maybe how I feel about it is in the minority side, or maybe a majority side, I dunno but I don't care. It's not the best it could've been and I'll explain why below. If you like it, good for you I guess because everyone's tastes are different, but I personally don't and I feel like the show deserves a much better finale than this. HEAVY DUTY DISCLAIMER: Just because I'm criticizing the finale doesn't mean I don't love the series, in fact it's because I love the show that I'm giving criticism and give what I would’ve done instead, and if you're anything like me and you're hella late to the party then there'll be spoilers for the finale. If you haven't caught up on the last episode, then you're not missing much honestly, but if you don't like spoilers regardless then watch that first then come back

The first part of the finale starts off like any other DuckTales 2017 episode. It's Webby's birthday, everyone's keeping their eyes out for F.O.W.L. shit, and Webby's enjoying herself. After a bit everyone goes below Funso's and they end up in F.O.W.L.'s territory. F.O.W.L. sets everything up to be on self-destruct, so they gotta find them and stop the self-destruction. They did happen to do the latter, but the F.O.W.L. members already escaped with almost everything. Just almost. The gang end up finding May and June, who're clones and they presume they're clones of Webby. Now this is where I'm starting to not like the finale. Yeah, you can do clones as like a plot twist, but at the same time it feels a bit outta nowhere. Had they foreshadowed it in another episode or have it lead up to the whole "oh shit there's clones of a character we know and love" thing then I wouldn't have a problem, but this came outta nowhere and I kept an eye on possible foreshadowing during season 3 and the rest of season 2 post The Duck Knight Returns too so I would've picked something up. The only thing that could count as foreshadowing was when Beakley promised Webby that she won't keep anymore secrets from her and the harp was saying "fibbing fibbing fibbing", but that's just it. Part two of the finale, Gyro does tests on them to see who they might've been clones of. He tries to tell everyone what the results are but when Scrooge asks him, he said it didn't come up with anything for him to answer the question. Beakley thinks they're both dangerous and locks them up in a closet. Webby, being a naive little girl, wants to talk to them because they're essentially her 'sisters' and she wants to know them more even though Beakley straight up tells her not to interact with them. Webby disregards what Beakley says anyways and she frees them, talks to them, and tries to show them her family tree so they can figure out where May and June came from. May and June are basically like "ehhhh this is your family tree? Who tf are you related to besides Beakley?" yeah, as if extended family or found family still ain't family you jerks. In the meantime, Louie just wants to watch his Ottoman Empire finale which ends up being shitty foreshadowing for the last part of this finale. You'll see why I mentioned this later. They even see Lena and Violet on there and are like "okay but who're those" which Webby responds with how they're her best friends and guess what one of the two clones goes to do? One of them grabs scissors and tries to cut it. When she does cut it, Lena's like "aw hell no bitch" and uses magic on her. Webby being Webby, is completely upset about this because "that was my sister how could you do that" and runs off like how one of the clones ran off. Bitch you only knew her for like five seconds, just because y'all be related don't mean you automatically THIS close to each other like how you are with Lena, Violet, Huey, Dewey, Louie, and anybody else in the McDuck family. I personally believe that love, trust, and respect is what makes people family, not blood/DNA, adoption, or they were married into the family or a step sib/kid/etc. If they're a harmful dick (i.e. a bigot who's queerphobic and/or racist or if they're an abuser, murderer, etc.) then you don't gotta treat them like family or say that they're your family. But anyways we're probs getting off topic, point is that she should trust those who she's known forever instead of clones she knew for a few minutes. Everybody tries to find Webby and one of the clones that ran off. Webby bumped into Beakley as she was tryna find May or June (I think May tho, don't recall) and she tries to lie her way outta it but Beakley knows what's up lol. She says that Webby wants to see the clones, Webby goes with it, and the younger duck wants to know who her parents were. Beakley tells her who her parents were (which might've either been a lie or she was describing herself and a late significant other that we've seen in Webby's picture of her parents) and Webby accepts it. Cut to later when she catches May and June trying to steal the ancient artifacts that Scrooge and co. retrieved during the entirety of season 3. She's shocked that they're even doing this, they all fight each other, and May escaped while June got knocked out. Webby disguises herself as June while she takes her outside where F.O.W.L. awaited them with an aircraft, most importantly Bradford. We only find out Webby was disguising herself as June when everyone got on. Huey notices what's going on and he goes after them, somewhat hiding in the aircraft before everyone leaves for the F.O.W.L. hideout. Not gonna lie, that was a pretty smart plan by Webby. Considering they all look identical and Webby's good at imitation, she can actually get away with this pretty well. This I actually really like and I wouldn't change too much about this. When Huey reveals himself to the three, Webby reveals herself to him but tells him to play along so they ain't fucked over. Somewhat worked. Webby keeps making little slips here and there which makes May hella suspicious of her. They land at the hideout, Webby tries to get what info she can while Huey's taken away. Thanks to the help of Pepper (who I love btw and I think deserves the best ;____;), Webby ends up finding the document room where there's documents on May, June, and a third person with the codename of April. She watches it and oh, shit, it turns out Bentina Beakley actually snatched her ass from F.O.W.L. when she was a baby! What a shocker! She couldn't believe what she was seeing! This is actually fine to me, her possibly being a clone actually makes sense because she could've been a clone of Beakley. Plus it's also a huge reference to how Webby was created to be a combination of Daisy's nieces April, May, and June back in the original series, though I dunno how many people would catch that, especially younger fans who might not have done the research to getting all of the references and easter eggs here. When Beakley was brought in (essentially she knocked Scrooge out without hurting him, went to here alone to take care of F.O.W.L. once and for all just for Webby, but got defeated along with some of the McDucks), everyone leaves Beakley, Webby, and the Harp alone and Webby somewhat confronts Beakley about her past. Needless to say, Webby ain't excited about this and she gets captured and tied up. She's actually pretty depressed, which I mean in a way I don't blame her since she wanted to know if that shit was real or if F.O.W.L. was fabricating it. Cut to Huey being brought to Bradford. Apparently he was a fellow Woodchuck too, though he wasn't the best despite being the very first Woodchuck by his grandmother Isabella Finch, in fact he was the worst which hahaha yeah I can actually believe that. It does explain why he hates adventures and all of that shit, one of the only things I'm willing to accept from the finale. He talks about how he wants to complete the collection "for the better" because Scrooge and everyone else in the family were the only ones to have Isabella's lost journal. Huey believes this at first. He stops believing it once he ends up finding Gyro and everyone else who're locked up. In the meantime, Bradford drags Webby out to a sort of box along with May and June. She doesn't know why she's brought up here. When she gets close to the box, the papyrus appears because... She's the descendant of... Of Scrooge McDuck. Okay no, JUST NAH MAN. This is where my biggest issue in the finale lies, the fact that she's a clone/made from Scrooge's DNA and is technically his "daughter". Not everybody has to be related to Scrooge McDuck to be great, in fact doing this to her actually ruins Webby's character. Her trope is "found family," not "I'm secretly part of the family this whole time and not even I knew it" and this fucks with it so badly. This show is about family, and all different kinds of it. Being taken care of by your uncles/aunts instead of your parents but still having a good relationship, some kids don't have parents and they're gone for whatever reason, being loved and accepted by other family members, some families are awful and abusive, hell some families have two same sex/gendered parents with a kid who's def adopted and one might've been adopted or been from a previous relationship, and it's also how sometimes we find people to call family because we found them and they found us. Webby was the one to fill in the finding those to find family alongside her grandma, but I feel like they're disregarding that just to have a huge plot twist. Again aside from Beakley keeping secrets from Webby, there was no foreshadowing and it makes a previous episode from season two (Nightmare on Killmotor Hill) seem kinda creepy in hindsight since she's over here wanting to be Scrooge himself, and creepy overall due to how obsessive she was over the whole McDuck family in general. You could say it's foreshadowing this whole time, since some people might actually be like this before realizing that "oh hey I'm actually related to this person" due to someone being adopted, given to someone else to take care of, divorce and each parent keeps one of the kids and they don't meet again until way later in life, which in a way is a fair point but at the same time not everyone's gonna notice this even when they look back at the previous episodes. If you're gonna do foreshadowing and a plot twist, you have to do it where looking back everyone can notice little details, not just a certain group of people, and you gotta make sure it's good. Every plot twist has it's foreshadowings, and every good one has a good amount for people to take a guess. Every bad plot twist, however, is either forced in just to shock the viewers or has shitty foreshadowing that's either extremely little or none. I will make a comparison between this and Steven Universe (which if you're still watching or haven't touched yet but haven't gotten up to season five, please skip this part to avoid spoilers for the show) because in Steven Universe, there were PLENTY of hints and foreshadowing that Rose Quartz was actually Pink Diamond and it was even a theory too that Rose was actually Pink, alongside a theory that Pearl was actually the one to shatter Pink Diamond and not Rose which ended up being true in a way that both fits. This was a good plot twist that everyone can watch the show from start to end once again and notice every little bits of details that led up to that plot twist reveal. (End of SU spoilers) This, however, isn't a good plot twist. It's a terrible one and, again, forced in, messy, and there's not enough foreshadowing that can be used to be like "oh I kinda saw that coming" or "oh shit!" and think it's a genuinely good twist. Also the fact that Webby called Scrooge "Dad" T W I C E in the finale, it doesn't sound right, I even voiced out loud that OH EW THAT DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT WHY ARE YOU CALLING HIM DAD THIS IS GROSS STOP IT LIKE JUST CALL HIM UNCLE SCROOGE LIKE YOU'VE ALWAYS DONE- Oh and this is meant to be a throwback to that Ottoman Empire finale foreshadowing thing from earlier btw lol The last few things I can note about this is the fight between Scrooge and Bradford, where the latter reveals that he was the one to tell Della about the Spear of Selene (which pisses Scrooge off so damn BADLY and it's the other thing I can accept from the finale, it seems like Bradford to do that shit), and the fact that Donald almost died for fucking good due to Bradford pushing his ass into a machine that can erase anything and everything from existence when put in there. He did so with his minions, so he has no qualms about doing so to Scrooge's family unless he signed the papyrus as a contract. Not that it worked anyways, since "family is the greatest adventure of all" which Bradford didn't understand one bit lol But the finale? Not good, the show deserved so much better and Huey deserved way better because this was his season. What I would've done differently is mainly how Webby is a "clone" or whatever you want to call her. It makes no sense for all of her DNA to be from Scrooge McDuck, which raises way too many questions. Why not Beakley? Why not a warrior from F.O.W.L. with a mix of McDuck DNA? Why is Webby a girl while Scrooge isn't? You could argue that oh he might be a trans guy, which while I absolutely LOVE trans and nonbinary headcanons (due to the fact I'm a nonbinary woman myself), it just feels like a cheap escape goat of an excuse to explain that and Scrooge being trans because of that? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh it doesn't feel right to me. If it was a combination of him and Beakley, then okay I'd get why she's like that, but it still has the problem of her being related to the family DNA-wise. Same with the clones honestly. Now what I would do differently is make it where she's a clone of someone (def not Scrooge) and make it where she has an identity-existential crisis. Who is she really? Is she this "April" character, or if she Webby like she's always known herself as her whole life? In the end, she accepts that she's herself, Webby Vanderquack, granddaughter of Bentina Beakley and an ally of Scrooge McDuck. May and June, on the other hand, are possibly failed attempts to recreate Webby, the perfect clone, in order to get the papyrus to appear which in of itself never stated it had to be a DIRECT heir to Scrooge McDuck (it just states that it requires an heir of Scrooge McDuck) like a daughter/son or whatever. You can go back to the episode "The First Adventure" to look at the papyrus if you want, but he wrote that it was to an HEIR not a descendant. It heavily supports how they changed a shit ton of things before the last season being this year instead of idk, try to make it better because they finished voicing the lines in January this year when they started doing season three around the time we got season two. Bradford gets frustrated, wondering how it couldn't have worked because HE HAS WEBBY RIGHT HERE. What he didn't realize was that it could've been someone within the family itself, one who's considered the smart one out of the bunch that wasn't Scrooge McDuck himself, someone who's also a fellow Junior Woodchuck. And that would be Hubert Duck, in which season three is meant to be his season. When he gets close, the papyrus appears but Bradford snatches it and runs off with it so he can finish up that contract he's spent FOREVER to make and force Scrooge to write his name there. As with May and June, I dunno what I would do with them, but if I rewrite the finale at some point (which I would be doing now with my mom, who watched the finale with me because we tend to watch stuff a lot, but I can't at the moment because I have a list of stuff to make and I can't afford to make it longer than it already is along with my WIP list) I'll figure out what to do with them. Overall, the finale is a 4 out of 10 for me. Not horrible enough for it to be the worst finale ever in the history of shows/series, but it's definitely got a lot of things that bothered me too much to genuinely enjoy it without getting stuck on something for too long. Again if you like it, good for you, but personally? It should've been much better and the series deserves a proper finale. If there's no surprise movie to make it better, then I'ma just pretend this finale doesn't exist like nah bye bitch dunno you lmao Besides with how messy this finale is, I hope you guys enjoyed reading my thoughts on it and I hope you guys have a great day

why do you use only cruelty free things?

It was one of those moments where you find something out and it makes you change kind of deals? Similar to when you find out an actor is a dickwad or something and you can’t watch anything they’re in anymore. Full answer is under the cut because it’s long lmao, and I also put a lil list of brand I use in case yer curious. 💜🐰

3 ish years ago I was out of all my makeup staples (which at the time was 3 things lol, powder foundation, liquid foundation, and eyeliner. oh how times have changed) and I went to the drugstore to buy those three things and I had 30 bucks to spend. None of my usual things were on sale so I decided to take a chance on the elf display because everything there was under 10$. I bought a full face of makeup for 32$ and excitedly went home and unpacked everything. On all of elf’s packaging it said cruelty free and I went and learned what that meant. 

And that was it, I really couldn’t buy things from brands that test on animals after that. I didn’t throw out everything that I had from brands that do test, I just used them up and looked for cruelty free brands when it was time to rebuy. It’s a lot of work to keep up with who is and who isn’t, unfortunately brands will change their status to sell in mainland china (cough cough nars & mac years ago, wet n wild & physician’s formula this past year cough cough) But there are also glimmers of hope like covergirl who pulled out of china and obtained a leaping bunny certification. 

I’m not going to fault anyone for using non cf things, but I’m always going to recommend getting cf things lol. I mean everything I own and use is so it’s all i can recommend. At this point I’m really happy that everything i have except for 1 nail item (a cuticle remover) is cf. There has been a LOT of trial and error trying to find good hair & skin care (because I also discovered during this time that I have a skin allergy to coconut water,oil,milk). But ye. It’s been a thing that I can do :U 

If you’re thinking about it and need some brands to start with by category: (oh and I don’t exclusively use vegan brands, so if that is something you’d want too you might need to do some extra research) Makeup: Elf, Covergirl, Kokie, Colourpop for drugstore, high end I don’t use a lot lol. I have a few things from Tarte and Anastasia Beverly Hill, but ABH apparently is caught up in controversy rn so maybe nah.

Skincare: I use mainly Elf lol, but there be Burt’s Bees too. I’ve used 1 thing from Drunk Elephant that was nice but wow overpriced. I’ve been using some of the Ordinary but ehhhh idk if it’s working so great for me. Still worth a shot tho.

Haircare: Jāsön, Acure, It’s a 10. I would NOT recc. Alba Botanicals because that’s the stuff that caused me to have really painful welts all over my body from coconut. Use at ur own risk. :U Acure is the shampoo/conditioner I currently use and i haven’t had a problem with those!

Bodycare: Burt’s Bees & Jāsön again. I don’t particularly use a lot for b o d y skin. Almost everything has coconut which is so annoying.

Nails! This is the hardest category to find at the drugstore, but if you expand to a store like Ulta you’ll find some options, anyway. Pacifica, Orly, Zoya, Nailtopia, Holo Taco, The Nail Bazaar (indie brand!) are the more expensive options. Orly is the best value however, you get the most mL for the same price point as Zoya and Nailtopia. And then the only brand I own where the nail polish is under 10$ is Kokie. My FAVE polish of all time is by them, it’s called Pop the Champagne and it’s a beautiful champagne shimmer that compliments my skintone like crAZY. Kokie is ~7$ a polish which still can be expensive. But for me it’s worth it :U  Oh! And the Ulta Beauty Brand is cf too! Which is where I get acetone and nail oil (just pure jojoba oil)

Extras: Makeup brushes/tools= Real Techniques, toothpaste= Tom’s of Maine. 

that’s all I can think of, of the brands that I own. aNYWAY if you made it throught this whole answer wow ily, impressive. Reply with yer favorite ABBA song or something.

.......Davey wakes up one day (let’s assume in a normal timeline/au base) to find all his friends and enemies (think any mentioned or seen character) have been shrunk! Whatever shall he do when his belly gets active about how unhappy it is to be empty and he isn’t the best cook? ;) -That One Newsies Vore Anon Who has Apparently Decided to Flood You With Every Thought That Have Instead of Writing it Like They Should :3

Ooohhhhhh boy, that would be quite interesting to say the least. As much as I want to say he’d eat all of them I honestly doubt he’d eat his enemies at the same time as his friends and family. He doesn’t exactly like people like Snider and the Delanceys being anywhere near the people he cares about, so squashing them together in the same stomach? No thanks.

(Tho I think if he were hungry enough he might consider it)

For a while I don’t think the idea of eating them even crosses his mind. He’s more concerned with keeping them all safe and in his line of sight, and while he probably traps his enemies in a jar or box or something, he doesn’t want to do the same to people he actually likes. So he’s just, trying to keep track of them all on a table or something while trying to figure out how to get them all back to normal when his stomach growls and he’s left blushing bright red. That’s probably when the thought of maybe eating them popped into his head. From there it’s just drooling stares and awkward nervous fidgeting before gulp, down goes Jack.

The others on the table might freak out a little at this but really now all Davey wants to do is fill his belly, so that’s exactly what he does. Some definitely go down easier than others, but it doesn’t take long for him to pack them all in and soon he’s leaning back in his chair with a bit of a belly and a contented smile on his face. He’s never been this full after all so he wants to enjoy it. I like to think that his enemies are just watching all this unfold from their jar absolutely horrified. Did, did he really just eat his friends???? What kind of sick person would do such a thing! Davey finds their reactions kinda amusing and might pick up the jar to get a better look at them. Just out  of curiosity really. They freak of course, not wanting to end up in his stomach with everyone else, and he doesn’t make much of an attempt to assure them otherwise besides saying he isn’t going to hurt them.  

Oh gosh he just, curls around the jar and falls asleep leaving the five or so people in it trapped between his stomach and arms. It’s not ideal for them to say the least and every noise his stomach makes only freaks them out even more, especially when the occasional muffled voice rings out from Davey’s stuffed stomach.

Once his nap is done and he figures out how to fix everyone Davey spits his friends and family out and helps them clean off, getting them back to normal as soon as that’s done. He probably releases his enemies somewhere kinda far away from his boys and then once they’re set right he just, leaves. Got more important things to do than make sure they’re okay. Plus they...probably aren’t the happiest with him either.

Ehhhh that’s about all I have for that, could probably write more but I’m in a bit of a block rn so you know how it goes lol. Anyways yeah that’s my brief terrible assessment of what would potentially happen in a situation like that. Hope it’s not too bad tho!

[is0gild]

WHY I SHIP IT

You know the whole "Opposites Attract" trope? Yeah, that. I'm weak for that. A total slut for opposites attracting. Turns my knees to jelly. It's my crack. Just stick that shite into an IV straight to my veins! And these two? Got opposites coming out the wazoo!

Ice and Fire. Duh.

Introvert and extrovert. Quiet, shy girl with snarky, outgoing guy? Unf, that murders me with feels. To be fair, Elsa is not a TOTAL recluse - she’s a total sweetheart who can still hold a friendly conversation, but she's hardly the life of the party attention whore. No, that'd be THAT guy *points to lovable fire dork*

Light (Princess of Heart just trying to do her best) and Dark (Former-Nobody with a redemption arc). PS, to any Frozen fans who might be confused, “Princess of Heart” and “Nobody” are Kingdom Hearts terms - either see my Axel/Lea Cliff Notes for further deets or consult your nearest, handy-dandy KH glossary of terms.

Highborn Queen and Sly Assassin. Oof, it almost sounds so deliciously forbidden when you put it that way. Me like.

She tends to be Ms Glass-Half-Empty and he tends to be Mr Glass-Half-Full. Put there 2 half glasses together tho and you get a full glass ;D Was that hella cheesy? Yup! Think I care? Nope! Now don’t get me wrong, neither of them 100% own up to those titles - she has MORE than her fair share of bright moments, as he too has his Sad Boi™ moments. Still, they do both have a tendency to lean into those nicknames and boy howdy would it be cute watching him be the one bring a smile to her face when she’s down :3

She smol, he tol. Like, for real... he's one seriously tall boi. No official heights out there as far as I’m aware, but fan calculations put Elsa at 5'4" and Axel/Lea at either 6'4" or 6'7" (from two different sources, two different fans, take your pick). Either way, he's got at least a foot on her and just... oof! I swoon! I know, this is mega superficial, but I really don't care. It's aesthetically pleasing to me. These 2 very beautiful peeps being put together is just in general aesthetically pleasing to me.

OPPOSITES!

ATTRACTING!

Doesn't always work, but when it's done well, it can be so beautiful T_T Just love the idea of two personalities so different but that complement and balance each other out so well and help make up for what the other lacks! Ahhh, opposites attracting... that's how I wanna die *wistful, far-off, starry-eyed look*

ANYWAY! It's not all about the opposites! These two actually have a lot in common too!

They're both royal dumbasses that would (and legit DID) sacrifice themselves for their loved ones without hesitation!

They're both brave! Okay, it takes a bit of time for Elsa to come into her own courage, but by Frozen 2, our ice queen's got it in GODDAMN SPADES YO!

They’re both silly dorks with sassy, playful sides! Fire Boi wears his dorkitude on his sleeve whereas Ice Bab is a lil more shy about showing hers, but trust me, I could write a whole friggin' ESSAY on that side of her just lousy with examples! ...but I'll refrain from doing that here for the sake of not turning this "why I ship it" bit into instead being "an ode to Elsa's silliness" :P

He's an impulsive lil shit! She is too, but her impulsiveness is slightly, mind you SLIGHTLY more tempered. She'd probably do some good in reeling the big doofus in from time to time. That said, he'd still end up probably dragging her off on many adventures that she would only put on a show of mildly resisting.

Leading into my next point: they're both adventurous! C'mon, Elsa has a whole damn song about being drawn to the unknown! While Axel/Lea, well... that boy could change his self-proclaimed middle name "Dark Rescue" to "Dumbass Thrillseeker".

Smarts! They both got 'em! He's more street-smarts whereas she's more book-smarts... so this one is kinda sorta both a same AND an opposite? FANCY!

They'd both be ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS when it came to romantic love and this makes me cackle. SHE has been suppressing her emotions and trying not to have so much as one single solitary FEEL for 13 years. HE has had no heart for 10 years during which time he LITERALLY could not feel emotions. Don't worry, she's no longer suppressing and he's got the ol' ticker back, so they're both doing the whole emotions thing again, but they're both such goddamn NEWBS when it comes to feelings that they probably wouldn't know a romantic inkling if one came up and slapped them in their gorgeous faces! So just picture it: these two idiots falling in love and just being all DAFUQ IS THIS??? I THINK MY HEART ITCHES??? I DON'T UNDERSTAND HALP.

On a final-ish note that is neither really opposites nor similarities, they both canonically exist in the same universe within Kingdom Hearts, so even though they haven't actually met yet, they could still theoretically meet and it'd still be 100% kosher canon! And okay sure, Disney worlds in KH are basically AUs of their movie counterparts so just cuz Elsa exists in Axel/Lea's franchise, doesn't mean Axel/Lea exists in Elsa's franchise. BUT STILL! I just love that there IS a canon universe where they do in fact both exist and could in fact meet and I JUST THINK THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.

That's it. That's all I got for now. I'm sure I'll come up with more and will return to add on to this, but to sum it all up: I just want to smoosh my fire and ice bbies cute widdle faces together :3 My my, how STEAMY that would be (huh? huh? see what I did there? cuz, ya know, she’s ice and he’s… ehhhh, I think you guys get it)

@undeadrphub​ asked: ALL OF THEM FOR EZRA

🍍  :    how comfortable is my muse in their body? how do they feel about their height,  weight,  strength,  and body type?  how important is being attractive to them? 

LMAO this man is more than comfortable. he literally models nude sometimes, he has absolutely zero body issues and i envy him for the confidence. he’s super big on appearing attractive, both for work and simply bc he’s a vain little shit, but he doesn’t really care if someone doesn’t find him attractive?? he thinks he’s hot shit and that’s all that matters.

🍅  :    how does my muse feel about plastic  /  cosmetic surgeries   &   procedures?  is it something they have done or would do?  do they mind if others do it? 

not a fan but not against it. he thinks it’s really fucking shit that we live in a world where people deadass think changing their appearance is that important, but he’s not going to talk shit on someone who gets it done. he’s just a fan of liking yourself how you are, really. shrug emoji if ya do it, shrug emoji if ya don’t.

🍏  :    how stable is my muse’s physical health?  do they go for regular or semi-regular checkups by a physician?  do they have any diagnosed illnesses and / or take any medication?  how often do they get sick?

LISTEN. this man is in perfect health physically, he’s got a high metabolism and he exercises regularly. but. fuck doctors. he’ll only go if he’s really fucking sick and thinks he’s dying. yes, he pays his shit out of pocket, because fuck health insurance, they make u got to the doctor. he doesn’t get sick often! but when he does, it lasts for a while.

🍎  :    how stable is my muse’s mental health?  have they been diagnosed with any mental illnesses and  /  or conditions?  do they have any undiagnosed mental illnesses and  /  or conditions?  do they or should they attend therapy? 

f,, fairly stable? diagnosed PTSD and depression, no biggie. he copes really well for the most part, and his trauma doesn’t particularly show unless you’re very aware it’s a symptom. he attends therapy when his depression episode gets really bad, so rly only like three times a year. you basically can’t even tell he’s mentally ill unless you know him really well and are around for a long period of time.

🍑  :    how meticulously does my muse look after their physical appearance?  do they spend a lot of time on their hair,  makeup,  grooming,  and clothing?  is there a particular reason why they do or don’t?  

dEPENDS MY DUDE. yes, boy is conceited. yes, he has depression. we all know what that means!! he’s either paying attention to everything and not leaving the house until he’s perfect or he’s fucking walking outside without pants, no fucks, and without having showered for a week.

🍒  :    how much does my muse value companionship?  do they constantly keep people around them,  or do they prefer to be alone often?  do they have or desire to have many friends?  do they see every meeting as an opportunity to make a new friend?  

ehhhh. he’s both extroverted and introverted. he has no problem making friends and he has a lot of them, but he doesn’t really hangout with people. he might go out a couple of times in a month, but he really prefers to be alone. it’s best to think of it as he’ll make new friends very easily and get along with most people, but he doesn’t go out of his way to spend time with anyone else unless he’s invited or really likes them.

🍇  :    how would my muse describe their childhood?  how much has it impacted the person they are now,  or will become as an adult?  around what age did they or will they start to mature,  and why?  do they wish to go back to their days as a child,  or have they embraced adulthood? 

oh honey. childhood was hell. trauma has erased a lot of it, and what little he remembers give him nothing but guilt and deep desire to never ever think of it again. adulthood is where it’s at, bois.

🍐  :    how intelligent is my muse overall?  are they smarter than the average person,  or less than?  are they primarily self-taught,  or did they acquire most of their knowledge in school?  are they more street smart or book smart? 

he’s on the genius end. he literally had nothing to do but read and talk to people as a kid, so he’s pretty fucking rounded out on knowledge. the only downside is he doesn’t really remember facts. he remembers the logic of it. you could ask him if sharks live in sea water and he’s gonna fucking hesitate, but if you ask him if this weird idea you have for a spaceship is possible, he’s gonna give you a fully detailed explanation on why it isn’t, big ass physics words and all. he was raised by drug dealers and his brother was involved in gangs so u can figure out how street smart he is.

🍉  :    which of the four seasons suits my muse best,  and why? 

winter! he’s at his most sad goth. otherwise, autumn, bc he’s a pumpkin spice slut.

🍌  :    is my muse inclined to help others,  or will they only do it when it benefits them,  if at all?  what makes them this way?  has it ever gotten them into trouble,  or inconvenienced them?

will help, even if he sighs first. he just thinks it’s the right thing to do. but also: watching his brother get fucking tortured and not being able to help for 18 years might’ve fuckin done something. he’s been inconvenienced a few times, but never really in trouble.

🍊  :    does my muse desire romance?  is it something they would actively seek out,  or prefer to happen more  ‘  naturally?  ’  what is their love life like?  do they have any exes or past flings,  or crushes? 

wouldn’t u like to know, weatherboy :^) actually he’s a bit of both. he definitely desires romance, and he’ll sometimes actively try dating around, but he mostly prefers the ‘if it happens, it happens’. he’s only truly dated a few women. currently, though, he hesitates on dating big time. in canon, he’s pretty freshly broken up with in a really shitty manner, so he’s just. existing. the thought of catching feelings fills him with dread, but he’s also a dumb fuckin hopeless romantic who instantly is like okay but what if it DOESN’T go terribly this time.

🍓  :    how is my muse typically seen by others?  does it ring true to who they really are?  does their reputation matter to them? 

iiiiiii have no idea. it depends on your personality, because he’s sarcastic and sassy, and some people would consider that as rude and asshole-ish. if you’re in the kink scene, 9.5/10 times you’ll know him as the master of the city’s biggest dungeon ( it’s also connected to a fetish club ), so it’s. accurate. he doesn’t care for his rep tho, it’s not gonna hurt his book sales since he’s anonymous

🥝  :    does my muse have any  ‘  unusual  ’  habits, interests,  and  /  or talents?  do they hide it,  or are they proud of it? 

h m. not really. his only unusual habit would be how much he’ll just drown himself in working, but it’s from trauma, so????? nah. he’s p open about everything anyways.

🍋  :    what kind of diet does my muse have?  do they eat regularly,  or the standard 2-3 meals a day?  do they have to be reminded to eat,  or are they likely to remind others?  do they cook,  or have others cook for them?  do they eat healthily,  or not so much?  

wild. just wild. he can go from deadass vegan to eating 20 chicken wings by himself. no one understands it. if he’s actually working on a new novel, he needs reminded sometimes, but he’s usually the one reminding other people. he’s a big cook, he loves finding and creating new recipes, and he’s usually on the healthier end of things. doesn’t mean he won’t eat an entire fucking cake because he didn’t eat anything else for two days tho. 

🥭  :    how important to my muse is their hometown,  or where they’re from?  are they proud of it,  or considered a hometown hero? did they move away,  or do they wish to?

e h. he doesn’t really care for hometown sentiment, but he does love Chicago. it’s his favorite place just because he’s comfortable, knows it and the people well, and always finds something to do. plus, like, the fetish club is there. ofc he’s gonna have fun. not proud, just doesnt care. moves around when bored.

Xanatl Cambre, or whatever!

I read homestuck the first time when I was 13 and now that I’m rereading it I realized I processed almost 0 things in it the first time. So this is BASICALLY my first homestuck oc as someone who understands what the hell is happening in homestuck. I’m only about 3000 pages in, so I might have some misunderstandings still, sorry! Please go crazy telling me what I could fix or change, and I also have 0 clue for his appearance soooo. 

Okay! I’ll do my best to tighten this character up a bit!

Name: Xanatl Cambre 

Pronounced “Shan-uh-teal Cam-bray” (for the Aztec god Xolotl, and the coloration of darker axolotl’s- axanthic + the Spanish words for walk and fire/light)

Camnar is a seven-sweep-old violet-blooded troll who failed to fully complete his metamorphosis, for some reason or another- it happens! He possesses an extra set of fully functioning arms, a small flippy-flappy finny-tail-nub, and big bright purple shiny eyes. Everything else seems like it’s grown in okay, probably. Though he was fully capable of surviving his grub trials, his defects are admittedly uncomfortable enough to maybe have earned culling when he was only a few sweeps old, if not for [name here], a jade-blood with a penchant for healthy freaks and everything there is to learn about them (ESPECIALLY messed-up metamorphisizers) assisting in chopping off the extra bits every once in a while when drones come around. And definitely NOT keeping them in a walk in freezer to study. He’s not crippled or weakened by any of them, anyways, they’re just weird to look at- his eyesight might not be great, but he wouldn’t admit it. 

Fire, salamanders in general, the Aztec god Xolotl, and all around childish imbecility are all pretty big parts of and inspiration for his character. 

Hmmm. I feel like this passage comes off as fairly ableist, so watch your language here (i.e. “freaks,” “crippled,” “childish imbecility,” etc.). There is nothing wrong with a jadeblood being interested in mutants who remain healthy or in Xanatl not being weakened by losing body parts or even in him being childishly careless but language matters and I don’t feel comfortable letting it slide.

Interests: Penchant for outdoor land activities, especially camping. Loves using the time on those camp-outs to start fires, make star-maps, and attempt to commune with the dead through rituals found on old forums (with little success).

I like this bit as an emphasis on the fire theme, and I actually really like that you made a seadweller with that fire theme!

 A very keen interest in the occult and black magyks generally, but too lazy to go all the way with it, and too scared to perform it in his underwater home. A notable interest in weather-tracking, especially large storms and how they grow, change, and die. Mild inclinations to cannibalize other trolls- luckily, most don’t fit in his mouth.

WGAT

Finds great joy in training his lusus to do tricks and assist in hunting for dinner. A great cook! Especially loves spicy food (mustard flowers grow around his hive, and he uses their seeds/”eye of newt” for a kick a lot of the time). General propensity to put whatever he can fit into his mouth in his mouth that caused a lot of sickness as a young troll. One of his favorite non-food things to eat that isn’t necessarily dangerous are agave americana plants, which he grows and keeps all over the top floor of hive (he probably could not keep any other plants alive). Spends a lot of time with [insert jadeblood’s name], but mostly out of the obligation of their friendship, because he’s kind of tired of her cutting his fingers off to study their regrowth. He’s also mildly obsessed with siren stories and myths, but he doesn’t really know why. 

He lives in a two-story hive. The lower story sits below the water in a somewhat shallow muddy canal, and the top half hugs the shoreline. He spends most of his time in the bottom half, though.

Ooooh I really like that setup!

Personality: He’s kind of a coward. Very averse to change, but not fully content in his quiet life. He doesn’t particularly like company and when other trolls are around he feels urges to hurt them until they go away/are digested. Those urges don’t make him uncomfortable or guilty. It’s natural! Despite enjoying his outside time, most things he indulges in are sedentary- he’s very lazy and drowsy most hours of the night. He’s very defensive of his interests and his home, a little insecure in general. His high caste boosts his self esteem and his mutations knock it down- though he’s very removed from his society as a whole, self isolating with abandon, he dreams of mingling with the upper class in the deep ocean. Every troll and lusus around would probably kill him if he tried though, haha! He doesn’t like to talk about his emotions, or his future.

Wow unfortunate mood.

Special Abilities: None! Not notably strong, compared to any of his peers. A pretty normal kid/fish. Well, his extra arms and tail have some regenerative properties- he’s not sure if this extends to the rest of his body, and he refuses to test it. 

Strife Specibus: Mandible-kind. Xanatl’s teeth are fairly small and underdeveloped, sharp but tiny. He has a set of big dentures he fits over his own teeth, fixed from a few native canal beasts lost teef. 

Ooooh I really like that! You could also maybe have him fashion Greek-fire like molotov cocktails that he is verrrry reticent to use since it would burn his house down possibly.

Fetch Modus: Not sure! Maybe something to do with those lame circular life-cycle charts. Or a call to lotl’s regenerative abilities, like it breaks a piece off the item and it has to regrow so he can use it.

Hmmmm. What about a MITOSIS MODUS, which accepts an item and begins the process of cell division. For the next 24 hours, the item is inaccessible, but after those 24 hours he has two of the item!

Symbol and Meaning: Oh, no idea.

I’ll explain a little more down under title assignation, but I think Aquamini, Sign of the Idiosyncratic works exceptionally well.

Handle: neotenticSalamancer OR neotenicNecramander ? I wasn’t sure if it HAD to follow the GCAT thing, and if it did, what to use. 

You don’t have to follow GCAT! Those trolltags were specific to Hussie’s narrative and you don’t have to adopt that convention. I actually really like neotenicNecromander it’s cute.

Quirk: So I have two ideas for this:

replaces “sh” sounds with “x”, misspells often, not one to xout or use capital letters in general, and ends sentences with his tail =>

Or

u232 3 to r3plac3 “e” and 2 to r3plac3 “s”, 32 billion b3ing th3 numb3r of ba23 pair2 in th3 axolotl2 g3nom3… 2till u232 th3 cut3 tail too tho =>

Ooooh I like the first one for readability! Like yes leetspeak is a valid quirk but also I like when people break from that.

Lusus: Giant salamander-sized two-faced Xoloitzcuintli-type amphibious woofbeast. Not sure what to call this guy! Maybe “Mudpapi”, like mudpuppy. 

I love that nickname :D

Land: Land of Tilapia and Lightning, LOTaL (haha). Big beasts and big storms both threatening to swallow him. 

I super appreciate the acronym so I wanna keep that, but the first word of the Land usually related to its feel and the second to its quest. I can kiiiinda see how you could build a quest around lightning but the Vibe being tilapia doesn’t quite track for me. What about Land of Torches and Lightning, so it’s a bright planet but with two light sources trying to extinguish one another?

Title: I’m not sure I want him to ever god-tier because of his crippling fear of death and change. Like he would probably just blatantly refuse to, and stay content with being at the top of the echeladder pre-god tiers. I don’t know what his title would be, it’s a tough one! It’d be funny to make him a seer (for axolotl’s terrible eyesight, and the myth of xolotl crying his literal eyes out), but he’s probably a page. Of what? I’unno. 

:) I think he is for SURE a Page of Doom then. He has so much to do with death and rot and a lack of embracing that, and I can see potential for the character to really grow into that.

Lunar Sway: Derse? I’m inclined to want to give him both, because of the minor twin theming, but not sure what the rules are there. 

Ehhhh his personality is a lot more Derse with the desire for control over his circumstances. There are certainly cases where characters can have two moons but I don’t think this is it.

Thank you!!

No problem! I hope this helped!

But Kazushi (Chariot) and Keisuke (Fortune) were a lot better than Kenji and Nozomi and even Hidetoshi...

Ehhhh there's some parts I do like about Kenji (the ending), I think Hidetoshi had a decent ending on both sides (too tired to fully remember). Depends on how I'd rank them. Anyway, Nozomi and Kenji were bad (but Kenji ended on a good note at least), Kazushi, while a fine guy, what he was doing and what you encouraged you to do was dumb and bad (just...horrible message, Kenji was bad, but I think indulging in Kazushi's was worse cause it could hurt his way of life). Keisuke suffers from the same problems Yukiko's does, but at least Yukiko had more spotlight to shine on the "nvm I'mma do the thing I didn't want to do in the first place" and why she might want to change her mind. But Keisuke is probably the....least intolerable guy here. Then again Nozomi is the only one you can actually tell off (there were some interesting aspect to the link but....errrrggghhh XP)I guess "best" to worst as a whole would be...Keisuke>Kazushi>Hidetoshi>Kenji>NozomiJust the resolution tho....Kenji>Hidetoshi>Keisuke/Kazushi>NozomiI feel like Kenji and Hidetoshi started off horrible, but did grow by the end....I don't think the payoff is worth it tho. Kazushi just stopped being an idiot, which wasn't a high bar to clear hence why I'm ranking him farther down. Nozomi I think ended up in a better place....I forget....because I choose to forget.... XP

Current Fic Lineup For Yours Truly!!

Hi I’m writing again, it’s all les mis (and thus meponine because. I love them???), and I need a timeline of sorts so that I get things published when I want them to So.

Seen and Spun (title subject to change) - It’s almost done I promise, I’ve got like a month in-story left to write and then my super-long editing process and then!! I post it! Anyway short summary?: Based off of this lovely textpost. Marius and Eponine meet, and Eponine figures out that they’re soulmates right away, but it takes Marius quite a bit longer. It’s teetering around 14k, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a little more than that by the time it was finished. There’s some background exr stuff also, but it’s generally Eponine-centric.

Draws the moths out from their holding cells - Technically it’s based off Something Small by Joan Shelley but honestly it’s not really anything to do with that. Canon era, hopefully like, <1000 words but also I thought Seen and Spun would be 3k so maybe I can’t judge these things. But short and sweet.

She Lit a Fire - 7 chapters, and unlike the one above, it actually has something to do with the song it’s named after. So, based on She Lit a Fire by Lord Huron. Marius is a sad boy who goes on an impulsive road trip, where he meets Eponine. Both are lonely, and so they start traveling together. Fitting to what it was based on, it’s a lot sadder and lonelier than Seen and Spun, but it’ll have a happy-ish ending? Hopefully? I’m still definitely in the planning stages of this tho

Fics that I have been sitting on for AGES that hopefully I’ll do something with soon??? Boys of Summer - Wolfstar, a study in how misinterpreting lyrics can lead to great things All those Billdip WIPs just sitting on my drive, collecting dust - The tattoo au I’ve wanted to turn into Something for a while now, so??????? maybe. & I think about picking up daydreams sometimes I just. really don’t know what to do with it. That genderbent stucky thing with all the kissing - I WILL post this along the way somewhere! I promise! I just really gotta edit it to hell and back before anyone but me is allowed to read it All that A Separate Peace stuff so that John Knowles can properly roll in his grave - ehhhh I need an outline but if I ever get that far then yeah. Probably. There’s still a lot of stuff I wanna do with that book and now I have Confidence so I might actually do it haha

Okay that’s all yall!!! If you happen to like the stuff I produce tho< get hype, because I have Many Ideas

THAT MOVIE THO.

spoilers under the cut of course

Yeah yeah yeah pacing issues, too much cool stuff crammed into a movie with too little time to spare for many characters including AJ and Flutts who unfortunately made no friends and thus, had they not been in the movie nothing would really have affected the plot. They were there for MORAL support okay. Also my favourite gag wouldn’t have worked without Fluttershy. I wish I could watch it again to refresh my memory, but basically they were stowaways on an airship full of pirates, and the pirates find them and threaten them, like eating them or scarring them or SCARRING THEM EMOTIONALLY, and each threat is tailored to a specific pony, and the emotional one focused on Fluttershy. That was great. I loved that gag.

Also the plot was like, simple. EXTREMELY SIMPLE. bad guys show up. Run away from bad guys. search for macguffin that can defeat the bad guys. Bad guys capture good guys anyway. FRIENDSHIP IS POWER THAT CAN DEFEAT--well no, not in the giant rainbow beam smashes into bad guy kind of defeat. The bad guy actually died, and there was a lot of fighting in the climax. Huh.

Well anyway the world building was very good which I normally would never even comment on because when it comes to MLP I usually don’t give two shits about the lore. For instance in season seven they’re introducing a whole bunch of mythical legends that while might be interesting on their own, are presented in a such a way that the episode tends to be a complete bore. What do I learn about Rarity or AJ in an episode where all they do is tell campfire stories? There is no focus on a conflict or any moral lesson (except the small ones in the stories themselves) and little interaction between the main characters. I was so bored by that episode. The Daring Do episode fared even worse and somehow they shoehorned it as Pinkie’s legend (??!!?) despite Pinkie having not read any Daring Do books and having little reason to be on this adventure. (This doesn’t even begin to describe how much Daring Do being real is one of the weakest aspects of the show itself, but I digress)

The only episode that was an interesting way to depict a legend was the Fluttershy episode because figuring out who this historical healer was, was important to curing and preventing the spread of a horrible deadly illness, so that one had great and suspenseful setup with a lot of development for Fluttershy. And frankly I think in terms of legends themselves Fluttershy’s was the least interesting, but because it was framed by a really good episode about Flutters it was the best one.

Oh right I was supposed to talk about the movie.

But yeah, one thing I REALLY like and thought was a possibility in the MLP universe were sky pirates or at least sky sailors or whatever, and HERE THEY ARE, EXISTING! And BEING PIRATES! AIRSHIPS ARE A THING! They even had one in the newest MLP episode. I knew they existed for a long while (one appeared in a small moment during Rarity’s song in Sweet and Elite back in season two) but they were never really utilized until this movie. I don’t know how i feel about tons of all anthro-looking creatures though. I always assumed the world of MLP was all these quadrupedal creatures and if they did stand on two legs it was because they were hybrids with human-like pieces such as minotaurs. Or dragons, but let’s not talk about them.

But here it’s this anthro-cat, and some anthro-fishmen, and then anthro birds, and the big bad is okay because he looks like a primate of some sort, so it makes sense, but the rest of em... ehhhh. I guess since they went OUTSIDE Equestria it makes sense there are a much larger variety of creatures/races, and maybe Equestria is the just the one with the most four-legged equines, but...

Also I think we almost had enough screentime with these new characters to like them. Almost. I was starting to like them, but it wasn’t to the point that if these characters suddenly decided to help the mane six that it’d be 100% believable. Since there wasn’t much time devoted to each of them, the fact that catman decided to side with them just because Rarity in those few precious seconds fixed the hem of his shirt was a little less realistic or believable as it could have been. I get what they were trying to do, but if more time was devoted to it, it would have had much more impact. The pirates especially I thought maybe they would blame the Mane Six for leading to the destruction of their ship, but they were actually really reasonable for pirates that when we first saw them were about to eat them. They realized straight away that the real reason their ship exploded was because their boss sucked.

I could totally believe the Princess Seapony!Hippogriff thing siding with them though. She was just lonely and wanted friends. There were no ethical issues to get in the way at all like murderous pirates or conmen. The fact that the queen did not join them made sense though, since Twilight royally fucked up.

Speaking of Twilight I see a lot of people complaining she was not very Twilight in this movie, doing things that opposed the message of friendship. It made sense to me that she fell back to her more logical, rational way of life though. As they were journeying to find the Queen of the Hippogriffs, normal singing happy friendship methods to solve problems wasn’t really working. They befriended this cat man but he actually just wanted to sell them and was using them. Then they changed the ways of the pirates, but in doing so led the enemy straight towards them. I can see how Twilight thought this wasn’t like Equestria, the land of the colourful happy pastel ponies and their usual modus operandi wasn’t gonna work here. She was desperate! But due to the amount of time they had they could not spend a lot of time emphasizing this, so it may have come off to some people that Twilight was acting a lot more malicious than she is.

Another thing is this movie is clearly not for some random person to walk into a theatre, sit down, and just start watching like they’d understand the movie if it were just a standalone thing. There isn’t much time used up at all to introduce our characters and to make a blind audience care about them. It only really works if you’re already attached to the characters and know who they are, so it really wasn’t a good movie to attract casual moviegoers or anything like that. 

I think another comment complaint is how helpless the ponies are especially when they are outside Equestria. This I thought was odd because we have Twilight who still had her magic which could basically solve anything and do anything if the plot demands in the show. Or Rainbow Dash who is supposedly faster than mach 3 or whatever, but neither of these two used their overpowered abilities effectively throughout the movie, almost like the movie forgot that Twilight could teleport or Rainbow Dash could escape.

But anyway all of that is moot. Why is all the above moot? Because we had a movie with a clear beginning, middle, and end. There were decent songs and a pretty good score. It’d otherwise just be a normal run of the mill 6-7/10.

BUT THAT IS MOOT BECAUSE PINKIE PIE WAS AMAZING IN THIS MOVIE. AND I WATCH MLP FOR PINKIE PIE. SHE IS THE NUMBER ONE REASON I AM INVESTED IN THIS FANDOM AT ALL. AND SHE HAD THE MOST FOCUS OF THE MANE SIX AFTER TWILIGHT.

The biggest issue I always had with adventure episodes which were usually the season premieres and finales of the show was that it was always heavily Twilight focused with the other five on the wayside. I did not want to watch a movie where Twilight solves the problem herself and her friends are hostages, or out of commission, nor not themselves, or otherwise not doing anything that affected the plot. They were just along for the ride. Yes unfortunately this ended up being the case for two of the Mane Six, but that’s just another side-effect of them not making this movie longer or utilizing what time they had effectively. (We could have had less new supporting characters or something, idk)

But luckily for my biased-self it was Pinkie they chose to focus on. When they don’t focus on Pinkie and she isn’t important she’s usually just the mindless comedic relief, which was always a depiction I hated of Pinkie. Equestria Girls Pinkie is exactly this, and that’s why she’s my least favourite in the EG Universe. This is fine if Pinkie’s comedy was actually good, but usually they aim for lolrandom humour when that happens. Pinkie’s comedic moments in the movie were much more often hit than miss. I didn’t really dislike any scene with Pinkie at all! At no point did she seem overly obnoxious. Maybe the time when she was trying to play I Spy, but the rest of the Mane Six were audibly exasperated with her so they were self-aware how obnoxious she can be at times, lol.

Also yes, she did ruin some moments too like a few others. And by ruin I mean, the Mane Six are trying to do something and have a perfectly good plan to do so, but one of the characters do the thing they’d always do and it’d ruin the plan. For Pinkie that was just yelling out loud in the marketplace trying to find help, this led them to being conned by the cat man and almost being captured. Then Rainbow ruined everything when she went overboard trying to turn the pirates by showing off her Sonic Rainboom, which is a very loud and flashy technique catching the bad guys’ attention and ruining their plans. Finally Twilight ruined everything when she straight up tried to steal the pearl. So at least it wasn’t ONLY Pinkie... and all of them to me seemed perfectly in-character or made sense for that specific context anyway.

A good example of an adventure episode where Pinkie isn’t very important but has great comedic moments is the season five premiere. She’s the first to notice the odd smiles and has great expressions and reaction faces to the weird town they’re in, and when the Mane Six are being brainwashed she has some great dry humour as well. Still funny when not even trying to be funny! A good example of an episode where Pinkie is not effective whatsoever at being comedic relief is the season three premiere. Pinkie’s just being really loud and screechy. Even if I did like the flugelhorn bit where she yells “FLUGELHORN” into a flugelhorn while trying to play the flugelhorn.

I think the reason why this movie gave such focus to Pinkie over the other five instead of someone else is that Pinkie is the most popular character among the target audience. All the little girls adore her. She’s definitely not the most popular among the brony community, but I’m glad the little girls have great taste! Also Twilight messes up and SHE gets captured, not all her friends at once! It is her friends who she alienated and ostracized that came to the rescue instead. I like this because even though Twilight is the Princess of Friendship now, it doesn’t mean she’s some flawless individual who is the end-all and be-all to friendship. She is the princess because she has many great friends, and they all complete her. It doesn’t make sense for a princess of friendship to not be doing things with her friends. That’s like Luna with no moon, or Cadance without a husband.

Also while Tempest whatever has a much better backstory than Starlight, I still find it a little annoying that MLP has a habit of infodumping a villain’s (that is meant to be redeemed) backstory blatantly in our face, and now we have to feel sorry for them and completely understand their motivations. I thought her villain song started out strong but fell apart when it just jumped into her backstory like that. Again, if the movie had more runtime we could have explored her backstory and motivations in either much more subtle ways, or with more depth, or not all at once. Still despite her edginess she was one of the more fleshed out new characters, so I’ll give her that. 

The movie actually reminds of two fanfics I’ve read that have sky pirates and a world outside Equestria. In one, the villain is trying to find and kidnap the protagonist for their dastardly deeds, just like in the movie trying to kidnap Twilight for power, and the cast runs across faraway lands to escape. The other just has a bunch of sky pirates. I love those sky pirates. I made a sky pirate AU for ponies once that if I weren’t so invested in my RWBY AU powered by 1000% salt I might actually attempt to write. SKY PIRATES!!1!11!!!

It’s like the movie was pandered directly to me. Good Pinkie content and sky pirates. Yay! So, with all that bias included I’d give the movie a solid 8.5/10. But that’s just me personally. If Pinkie ISN’T your favourite character or you enjoy more complicated plots with more unpredictability you might rate it a more objective 6 or 7 out of 10.

8.5 tho. Just for Pinkie. PINKIEEEEE!!

[wordsofabandonment]

I don't belive that nobody cares. I'm pretty sure you have met some people who would care if you'd just talk. Or if you truly think there is nobody around you who would care... you are in the wrong place. If you can't change the life that you don't like you need to leave. Start fresh in a new place. 😊

Oh my gosh, you're so sweet! This really surprised me and made my day. Thank you, darling 😊 ...this is something I think about a lot. Because I know that if I tried to talk about it, if I brought up my problems or the fact that I was suffering to people, they'd "care." They'd be concerned and pity me and try to help. But then they would forget it the second it's no longer their problem (or maybe pester me about it forever without actually doing anything). I've tried talking about it, but it only ends up hurting more when no one tries to do anything after the initial incident. They'll never check up on me or try to actively help or anything. Maybe I have the wrong idea of "caring," maybe passive caring is supposed to be enough, or maybe I'm just way too closed off and resistant to help. Idk. And then there's the whole "Oh, they're going to leave you anyway. You're so boring and quiet and depressing, it's no wonder no one talks to you. They'll find you annoying and a downer if you put all your problems on them. Just stop talking to people, you burden" thing going on in my head, so ehhhh.And yeah, that's something I've really been wanting to do (at least) these last few months. I've really just wanted a change in environment and setting lately... Being stuck with the exact same people for years and years hasn't been the best thing for me. Especially when they're the ones who've hurt and ignored me for so long. It's why I've wanted to move schools, though I can't because I have things tying me here. And why I've been looking forward to college and moving out for so long as well. I've really just wanted to leave and to find new people and see that the world isn't going to be all like this. I want to find my people, people who I can trust and that will really help me and that I love. I've been longing for that "fresh start in a new place." Maybe I'm being naively optimistic, but I really hope not.Tho people like you (and my current fp) make me feel like that's not as far from the truth as I might think sometimes ;DSorry if it seems like I'm trying to throw this all on ya or anything. Just explaining/venting a bit. Thanks again, darling! Hope you have a nice day/night and life thereafter! 💚

[teamdoofus]

do all for francy taM I NEED THIS

SAY NO MORE :D

1. Who takes the trash out?

Nancy makes a schedule for all the chores right at the beginning that she hangs up on the fridge, so they always take turns, like little anal retentive worker bees

2. Who reminds the other to take care of themselves?

ohhhh they’re both pretty awful at taking care of themselves when they’re on a case (and, uh, otherwise they’re not much better tbh…….), but Nancy is OBJECTIVELY worse, so it’s definitely Frank, ESPECIALLY whenever Nancy is sick, because holy shit is that girl ever stubborn about getting work done and refusing to rest

3. Who is happier when they are out in nature?

both, if they’re on a case! otherwise…… ehhhh, Frank. I think he’s got some serious camping skills from going camping with the family and also boy scouts because OBVIOUSLY

4. Do they like to go in the hot tub together?

hahaha why is the idea of Frank and Nancy in a hot tub so hilariously awkward in my head…… so I don’t know that if they were just being Frank and Nancy that they’d do that? (unless it was a matter of like, their friends pestering them to just let their hair down already and get into the tub and stop being fuddy duddies and they just roll their eyes and are like fiiiiiiiiine I guess a few minutes in the tub won’t hurt….) but you know…. I feel like if they were on a case and had to be in a ~pretend relationship, I could soooo picture a scene where they have to talk to another couple who are suspects while they’re at this resort and the hot tub just so happens to be the perfect non-conspicuous place to ~casually grill someone while everyone is relaxed and barely clothed and drinking beers I’m js

5. Do either of them avidly follow a celebrity and/or fandom?

hahahaha NO, not if you count detective shows and detective magazines (YOU KNOW THE ONES I’M TALKING ABOUT) from which they can learn

6. Who builds a pillow fort?

…… neither tbhhhhh…….. WHICH IS SO SAD???? Someone build these fuddy duddies a pillow fort!!!

7. Who plans the romantic date?

oh god they’re both awful about this?? it’s like a few years and a couple weeks in and suddenly Nancy looks at the calendar and realizes that OH NO, she forgot their anniversary again and when she calls Frank she finds out that he also just realized and was about to call her to apologize because they’re absolute derps and perfect for each other before concluding that they don’t need a day on the calendar to know that they love each other, because they already do that every day /SO CHEESY OMG GET A ROOM YOU GUYS

8. Who likes to play with the other’s hair?

hmmmm. Frank plays with Nancy’s hair until he catches himself doing it. meanwhile, Nancy is a perpetual hair-ruffler

9. Who calms the other down when the other has a nightmare?

you know, I think both of them have nightmares from time to time, especially given their chosen professions, but I think frank might actually suffer from night terrors, and ofc nancy is always there for him when that happens. they usually get up, go into the kitchen, have scrambled eggs, and maybe enjoy a tea or warm milk with honey before finally going back to bed

10. Who wants their dog to sleep on the bed with them?

HAHAHA, absolutely nancy. I mean, frank and joe grew up with playback, the parrot, but nancy has always had togo, and seeing as he “was there first”… nancy insists that frank just has to accept that he’s always going to be taking up frank’s foot room (and looking so darn smug about it, too, every time!) :D

11. Who can’t sleep without the other?

you know, I feel like nancy could sleep through anything (she claims she wakes up at the slightest disturbance, though), but frank used to be a bit of an insomniac. and seeing as he used to sleep in the same room as his brother, he’s used to having another person in the vicinity. so when they move in together, he suddenly finds that he falls asleep insanely quickly, and always sleeps through the night! of course, the downside to this is that, when nancy is off on a case, he realizes that he’s fucked, because he can’t sleep a wink without her there

12. Who is too nice and will listen to a sales person pitch?

hahahaha between those two, absolutely Frank. and Nancy doesn’t even rescue him. she just hangs back and listens in on his struggling amidst chuckles. (of course, this does backfire on her when he decides to get back at her smug ass by roping her into the conversation, like OH HONEY, DON’T YOU THINK THIS IS A DECISION WE SHOULD BE MAKING TOGETHER 😇😇😇)

13. Who makes the first move to cuddle?

around Nancy? please. Frank will take all of the cuddles. he just……. doesn’t often remember that they’re a thing……. but come movie or tv watching time? in bed after sex? absolutely that boy is getting his cuddles

14. What is their go to fast food place?

hahahahahahaha panera my god they’re so white and so bourgie

15. Who likes to wear the other’s sweaters?

okay Frank will not deny that he has, while hanging up and folding clothes, decided to lean in and smell Nancy’s clothes before because, LOOK, they just smell like her, okay??? and I’m pretty sure that if they were big enough, he would absolutely wear her sweaters. but as it is, he’s more than happy to bait Nancy into wearing his, which she does more than gladly (although his favorite is very clearly when Nancy puts on one of his button-down shirts and nothing else because of course it is)

Who is louder?

Nancy can be SCARY quiet during sex, and Frank actually feels a bit self-conscious at first when he realizes that he does a lot of grunting and groaning compared to her– at least until Nancy whispers to him how sexy she finds it and what a turn on it is to hear how much he’s ~enjoying her…….

Who is more experimental?

…….. Nancy, surprisingly. Frank is sort of terrifyingly vanilla, but Nancy definitely decides to branch out on the occasional sexy night together (tho definitely nothing drastic, like some light bondage will do, thank you)

Who takes more risks?

Frank, once he knows Nancy is into them :D

Do they fuck or make love?

they can fuck, of course, and have on rare occasions, but Frank has not been pining after this woman for as long as he can remember (HE WAS IN THE MIDDLE BEFORE HE KNEW HE HAD BEGUN /kill me plz) just to FUCK her, no, fuck that. he makes love to this woman, goddammit

Lights on or off?

…….. off, actually. they’re just. those sort of people.

Who is more likely to be caught masturbating?  

hmmmm. you know, I don’t know if Frank would do a lot of masturbating or porn watching in the first place? buuuuut let’s also be realistic here and acknowledge that they do biologically gotta empty the tank lest they want to have wet dreams, and let’s also likewise consider that Frank probably got loads of practice jacking off and crying while thinking about Nancy, so he’s certainly no stranger to masturbation

Who comes first?

Frank is a patient, dedicated lover, okay. if she doesn’t come by the time he finishes, you bet your sweet ass he’s going to get his woman the orgasm she deserves (it helps, of course, that Frank actually loves eating pussy, so this is not usually a problem because foreplay is like Frank’s religion)

Who is better at oral and who prefers it?

FRANK. THAT BOY IS AN ORAL FIEND. A GOD AMONG MEN. it’s the one time Nancy actually ends up whimpering and moaning and screaming while she writhes on the bed etc etc (and yeah of course she’s not going to turn that down, he’s INCREDIBLE at it, and Nancy gives really awkward head…….)

Who is more submissive?

hmmm. neither? they’re just such absolute equals in life as much as in bed like I can’t even imagine them straying from a formula of respect that works, buuuut at the same time Frank can totally be the dominant one for those nights that they ~are feeling frisky (and those are the nights Nancy spends a LOT of time in the throes of ecstasy)

Who usually initiates things?

Nancy, actually! she has a pronounced sex drive (more than she has a cuddle drive, that’s for sure) and ofc he doesn’t want to push her (aaaand lbr most of the time sex is not really on the forefront of their minds anyway, those workaholics)

Who is more sensitive?

Frank can come really pretty quickly if you know what you’re doing (and he does), and Nancy is often rather stoic in these instances, so one would think that it’s him, but he has excellent self-control and he’s spent a lot of time hearing her scream his name while he was going down on her so yeah. it’s definitely Nancy.

******

It had been a few months since you started dating Luke. Everything was so intense. News of the two of you dating leaked after a little over a month (MICHAEL!!) but you were okay with it. You and Luke were pretty serious, spending every moment with each other, that is until he went on tour…

That was the toughest thing you've ever been through in any relationship, being apart like that. All the skyping, texts, snaps, phone calls…none of it truly eased the pain of being apart from him. You loved Luke, you realized that from the moment you laid eyes on him, and he loved you too. You knew that now. This was why being away from him and not being able to pull him close physically hurt you.

"Hey…just one more week babe…then I'll be right there" Luke said. You were currently having yet another skype call, you from LA, him from some hotel room far away from you.

"I know Luke…I just miss you so much…" You said, tears in your eyes.

"I miss you too Y/n…so much…but tour is nearly over then I'm with you for the next couple months"

"I know…I just can't wait to see you Luke"

"It's getting late…you should get some sleep. And babe, just hang on a few more days…"

"Alright. Goodnight."

"Goodnight. I love you" Luke said, blowing you a kiss and giving you a wink.

"I love you too" You laughed. Then you closed your laptop. Just one more week…

*****

You were exhausted. Your shift ended late and you wanted nothing more than just fall in bed and sleep for a year. Of course there was no way that was happening. Your best friend of so many years you couldn't even remember decided tonight was Netflix night. The night where you both binge watch all the shows you guys were currently watching. So now here you were watching Sherlock at 3am. There was no way sleep deprivation was gonna keep you away from Benedict Cumberbatch. (Lol that was the first show I thought of, I love it tho…and him….) You both ended up passing out on the couch. Although despite the fact you both had no obligations the next day, you both routinely woke up early. Great.

"Ugh….we might as well get up" Jennifer said, after laying on the couch for 20 minutes, refusing to get up just as you were.

"Yeah…I know" You sighed.

"I call shower first!" Your best friend screamed, jumping up and running towards the bathroom.

"Jen!!" You laughed, getting up. You looked in the fridge for something to eat, and found nothing. Figures. "Fine! But you have to go grocery shopping!"

You heard a groan in response. You took that as a yes.

You made a list while she was showering. And by the time you got out of the shower she was already gone. You cleaned up the plates from last night, and too tired to do anything else you decided to just lay there on the floor. You closed your eyes, grateful for the soft, fluffy rug underneath you.

You laid there for awhile, and continued to stay there despite the fact you heard the door open. You kept your eyes closed, hoping if your bff thought you were asleep you could get out of putting the groceries away.  You felt someone sit down next to you, and knew she was going to drag you up and make you help her.

"Fine Jen, I'll help you, just let me stay here for five more minutes. It's your fault I'm so tired"

You heard a low chuckle, and felt someone hovering over you, nuzzling your neck. Your eyes flew open to see Luke mere centimeters away from you, his deep blue eyes looking at you with such love in his eyes.

"Luke!" You breathed, surprised, before kissing him. Hard. You ran your hands through his hair as you kissed him. He put his arms on either side of your head so he could lay on top of you without crushing you. You missed him so much, at this point you didn't even care you were making out on the floor. After all this time he was finally here with you, and to think you thought you had to wait until….

"Wait…you're not supposed to be here for 2 more days!! What...how?!"

"As soon as the last show ended I took the next flight back to LA. I'm missing an interview today and some management meeting but I couldn't bare to be apart from you any longer…I missed you too much" He said, leaning his forehead on yours.

"I missed you too" You smiled, placing your hand on the side of his face. He looked even more exhausted then you were, and he hadn’t shaved in awhile. Nevertheless he still smiled down on you. Then he pressed his lips against yours. His lips kissed you hungrily, desperate for more. His desire was intense, due to the time spent away from each other. You kissed him back with the same urgency. You pulled his hair, as he moved a hand down your body. He played with the end of your shirt, his fingertips grazing your bare skin as he slowly pulled the fabric up. Then you heard the front door to your apartment open.

"Y/n I couldn't find any of those chips we got last time. I'll have to check again tomorrow." Jennifer said, as she closed the door. She turned around to see Luke still on top of you, both of you with swollen lips and tangled hair. She barely lifted her eyebrows. "Hey Luke glad you're here! You can help bring in the rest of the groceries!" She said, smiling.

"Jenn, great to see you too. And I'd love to" Luke said, standing up. He held his hand out to you to help you up as well. You couldn't help but laugh, and felt your cheeks flush. Your best friend just smiled at you and shook her head, pointing towards the door.

Not my best but ehhhh...next part will be better....hopefully...anywho requests always open, and thanks for reading!! -Lydia

[tumblunni]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa tfw u have another game idea AGAIN i think my brain hollowed itself out for more idea space at the expense of everything else like ability to actually create my ideas or ability to remember to eat :P

this kinda isnt a NEW idea, its just something floating around in my brain that ive now got more of a concrete idea for, i guess? playing Oxygen Not Included reminded me of it and made me feel maybe people would actually be interested in it, yknow? and its probably not something i could ACTUALLY make, cos it’d require like.. a lot of my own programming. not really easy to just make in a helpful gamemaker enginey thing like rpgmaker. tho it is an rpg... kinda...?? ehhhh im not feeling very good today, sorry my writing is... bad

ANYWAY WHAT WAS I SAYING

Well the idea I has was for kind of a roguelike tower climbing rpg, like Azure Dreams or Persona 3 The premise would be that there’s a mysterious underground civilization, trapped for generations with no memory of the surface world. Between them and sunlight is this potentially-infinate magical labyrinth that nobody has managed to make it through. (At least as far as anyone knows. Everyone wants to believe that friends who dissappeared in the labyrinth actually made it to the other side, rather than.. well.. the other side.) So the game would be about tackling this labyrinth in multiple short sessions. My favourite genre: roguelikes that actually have some form of progression in them! Even though you’re dying a lot, you retain a small amount of what you gathered each time in the form of townbuilding progressyness and ~friendship routes~ and ~ETCETERA~!

But then after playing Oxygen Not Included I kinda have a burning desire to see a game that has the good bits of that and not the... Frustration. To say its a roguelike without progression is understating it, gahhhhhhhhhh! Roguelike sim game of 8 hour game sessions that get destroyed cos of one stupid mistake and you have to be all perfect and lucky and YOURE ALWAYS STARVING and gahhhhhhhhh THIS IS MEANT TO BE MY GAME IDEA NOT VENTING ABOUT THAT GAME Anyway I was thinking how it’d be really cool if a game like that actually DID have a sense of progression. And an actual end goal. Like.. if you were actually digging towards the surface! With periodic savepoints and characters that dont die so easily and have more personality to them and you get all attatched! I already got all attatched to my dumb sim characters and then just got really upset how they kept dying and the game seemed to not give a shit :P

But yeah its not like I can just completely copy that game, lol. Even if I wanted to, I dunno how to program a simulation type engine thing from scratch! So i was thinking like.. a regular roguelike randomized dungeon generator actually IS possible in Rpgmaker, so I dunno.. I could find a way to make that work with some kind of ‘you are actually creating the dungeon’ type thing. i really like the idea of being able to dig your own path through the thing and have it permenantly etched there forever. I was thinking it could be an awesome idea if in the postgame you could come back to the now-empty labyrinth after everyone’s escaped to the surface, and be able to walk through it and have a big ol nostalgia trip. One that’d be unique to every player! And like.. maybe even be able to see changes, like it being reclaimed by nature and flowers? And you could upload a dungeon seed for your own personal dungeon, so that other players could play it, and that could be the postgame replay value~!

game name ideas i guess Catacomb Crawl Boundless Down

and I was thinking the protagonists could be two kids and be a grumpy older sibling who’s a jerk to their well-meaning-but-immature lil sib, but loves them deep down, and has to learn a lesson about becoming a more responsible sib, and etc like.. yeah.. basically inspired by over the garden wall i didnt really like that show, and i felt bad about it cos everyone was telling me it was a masterpiece. alas! :P aaanyhoo they’re not very developed yet, except older sib being a bit of a comical greedy coward type of person and lil sib actually being quite wise but always underestimated. Like, they have more common sense than their big sib even though they are a lil naive sometimes cos theyre so optimistic. Both sibs get each other into trouble pretty often, but they balance out perfectly to save each other each time! And lil sib is kind of a pushover who just obeys big sib unquestionably and can never stick up for themself when big sib is being all ‘ugh ur so immature im totally better'. They’re just like... the sort of person who’s so scared of their friends leaving them that they let anyone hurt them as much as they want as long as they stay. Very relateable to Bunni! Also they sorta try and pretend to be the dumb sidekick and class clown. Cos again theyre worried if they disagree or try and stand out too much then their sibling will hate them. Quite often their ‘dumb mistakes’ are actually the older sib’s fault, and they’re stuck like ‘AAAA I CANT TELL THEM TO STOP COS ITD BE OUT OF CHARACTER. I NEED TO BE THE CUTE BABY.’ And its all super complicated cos older sib acts like they resent them for never growing up too, its like.. cant ever win. This whole thing has kinda turned them into an anxious mess deep down. part of big sib’s whole redemption arc would involve them having to realise that their actions arent harmless, and treating such a young child this way actually has a permenant effect. And like... big sib doesnt know how to take care of little sib on their own because they’re immature themself! Being able to admit that instead of trying so hard to be all fake ultra mature and infallible, thats another big character arc. As well as aknowledging that lil sib is indeed growing up and becoming someone intelligent and independant. And realizing that the reason they keep putting them down is so they can try and deny that, and the reason they’re denying it because theyre JEALOUS! Jealous that little sib might have their emotions more alltogether than them, scared that their emotionless facade of perfect big sibness will be broken, and scared that without that they’ll have nothing left. Need to become more comfortable with trusting and relying on your lil sib, need to actually talk to them about this stuff, yo! Ideally I’m gonna try and write it in a way that doesnt make big sib seem like a completely hateable villain. Their backstory is gonna involve being from not exactly the nicest family, and both struggling to escape what they’ve been shaped into. And trying to learn how to take care of each other as a real family, when they have no real frame of reference for what real love looks like. And also climbing a bigass tower to save humanity from being entombed underground, but that’s comparatively easy, lol! But yeah the idea is that big sib kinda absorbed more of their bad parents’s ideals, and like... they love their sibling so utterly and deeply because they just did not know what family love felt like until they came along. And it really REALLY hurts them whenever they realise they’ve been subconciously being neglectful or hateful towards the lil fella, but theyre so distracted by like.. the greed of being free now. And doing anything and everything, drunk on that freedom! And not really being capable yet of caring about other people when they havent even learned how to care about themself. They keep being all decadent and delinquent and it seems like theyre egotistical but still deep down they HATE themself and this is all just like a ‘fake it til you make it’. And its so easy to get caught up and go too far to try and put on this facade, and they feel they cant really vent their real feelings to anyone. Cos they’re super cynical dont trust anyone except sibling loyalty like. Only way to survive! And like... cant talk about it with the sib either, because little kid wouldnt understand, and if they do then that means theyre not little anymore. They dont wanna ruin lil sib’s childish innocence cos like.. that innocence is their only reason to live. Innocent stupid bastion of family love, came into their life and gave them the courage to deal with those shitty parents gahhh! And part of them ‘knows’ that the only way to love anyone is to be deluded and innocent. You have to be too stupid to realise that the world is awful and everyone sucks and loving people just gets you hurt! And big sib is toooootally smart cos they know that life is meaningless. But they’re entertained by seeing a stupid person stupidly believe in optimism. Totally. Thats the only reason they wanna protect that innocence. Totally. sooooo basically imagine a very mentally ill mess of a preteen that’s curled up in the corner crying perpetually within their own mind, while on the outside they’re all HA HA I’M AMAZING, BITCHES And also imagine that bunni is able to write good enough to explain these damn characters aaaa im very tired im sorry

anyway summary: protagonist is a jerk, Character Development: The Game, you will cry for little sib whom is basically like penny from inspector gadget also I was thinking maybe this could be the one and only time I do the Amnesiac Protagonist Cliche Setup. eeeexcept not really?? well i mean I think it’d work cool if these characters were new to this setting, but I wouldnt actually do 100% amnesia thing I was thinking more like... they are the only two people who came from the outside world. And they just can’t remember how they got here, they wake up trapped in this place and everyone thinks theyre crazy for talking about being from somewhere aboveground. So you have an even more desperate motivation to escape compared to everyone else! I mean of course everyone wants to return to the surface, but its been so long that no-one remembers what it’s like, and so many attempts have failed that they’ve all given up. So you can act like a beacon of hope and lead the people even though you’re just a child. Like, this is about a morally bankrupt trash protagonist being dragged kicking and screaming into heroism, lol And of course we can have some good ‘ol mystery amnesia reveal type plot thingies! But without having to have a protagonist who’s COMPLETELY clueless, and a game beginning with no direction whatsoever. Its more like a ‘trapped in another world’ story except its the same world just a few thousand miles underground, lol. And revealing how exactly they got there and what they’ve forgotten is gonna be a plot, yes, but also there’s the bigger mystery of what on earth this doom labyrinth is and what caused these poor people to be trapped in it! And what they’ll even find when they finally reach the surface again, will it really be the sort of paradise they’re all hoping for? also many tears for sad dysfunctional tiny family of awkward childrens, ye also (hopefully) fun dungeon gameplays

so yeah bunni is tired and delirious and rambling Thoughts at you dunno if anyone was interested in any of this, but there you go!

[3/2/2015 6:42:48 PM] Evan: Hi. [3/2/2015 6:44:23 PM] YV??~: yoyoy [3/2/2015 6:46:48 PM] Evan: How are you? [3/2/2015 6:48:31 PM] YV??~: Fine, i guess. You? [3/2/2015 6:50:15 PM] Evan: Alright. Still doing 'nothing'? [3/2/2015 6:54:15 PM] YV??~: considering after days of work ive only got 2 frames sketched for the episode preview....and one is just erasing the chin some if the jawline and opening the mouth, yeah the lack of productivity is notable [3/2/2015 6:56:32 PM] Evan: Well, it's a starts. haha [3/2/2015 6:57:22 PM] YV??~: its not good enought tho [3/2/2015 6:59:18 PM] Evan: Do better, then. *shrug [3/2/2015 6:59:20 PM] Evan: :P [3/2/2015 7:02:26 PM] YV??~: If i could i would. but im garbage at everything. What about you? [3/2/2015 7:04:03 PM] Evan: Basically wasting time until work. Nothing worth mentioning. Might draw another picture. [3/2/2015 7:05:24 PM] YV??~: sounds fun [3/2/2015 7:06:03 PM] Evan: Oh yeah, tons of it. [3/2/2015 7:06:15 PM] Evan: I have no idea what to draw, though. Wanna make a request? O: [3/2/2015 7:09:22 PM] YV??~: i dont know. I tend not to make them for the same reason i tend to stay out of the GOTO, I have really bad refs.

[3/2/2015 7:57:19 PM] Evan: Ah yes, doing the thread thing I see [3/2/2015 7:57:51 PM] YV??~: i was going to anyway at some point.... [3/2/2015 7:58:54 PM] Evan: I might do one as well. Wasn't planning on it, but then I remembered a really obvious one. heh [3/2/2015 7:59:14 PM] Evan: Also why Madoka [3/2/2015 8:02:28 PM] YV??~: I dont know i guess theyre kinda similiar....even though i came up with MSCs ending before i watched it. If i had at that point i probably would have ended it differently.....cause its pretty much the same thing...like Doki doesnt make a wish but they both like transcend being to protect everyone. [3/2/2015 8:02:56 PM] Evan: Ah. [3/2/2015 8:03:13 PM] Evan: Did you always plan on making MSC get darker [3/2/2015 8:05:56 PM] YV??~: A lot of that series came to me within months of the drawing that ended conceptualizing 2 series and an OVA the ending was actually the first thing I really planned out. and even then its different from now because originally more of the main cast was going to die. [3/2/2015 8:31:15 PM] Evan: O: [3/2/2015 8:31:38 PM] Evan: So is it going to get more serious right off, or will it stay kinda silly for a bit? [3/2/2015 8:33:40 PM] YV??~: season one is generally going to stay pretty light since most of the beginning of it is just meet all the team and the enemy and shit, but i probably use season 2 to slowly phase it to the same mood as season 3 which is pretty much where everything happens. [3/2/2015 8:35:16 PM] Evan: Ah. Cool. [3/2/2015 8:36:59 PM] YV??~: the subsequent series will only have 2 seasons but ill probably do it similarly and Magic End Story will be nothing but serious because i gotta end this whole franchise somehow. [3/2/2015 8:42:39 PM] Evan: haha yeah [3/2/2015 8:43:07 PM] Evan: I assume the art style is going to be different in episode 2? [3/2/2015 8:44:10 PM] YV??~: well considering it wont be drawn with a laptop trackpad because that irrates my hands overall too much for a shitty joke, yes. [3/2/2015 9:08:09 PM] Evan: Should look pretty cool then. O: [3/2/2015 9:25:14 PM] YV??~: yeah (sorry for late i got a cat murder scene to clean up) [3/2/2015 9:25:43 PM] Evan: lol [3/2/2015 9:32:13 PM] Evan: Well, gotta run to work. [3/2/2015 9:32:14 PM] Evan: Good night.

[3/2/2015 9:52:02 PM] YV??~: (this is mad late so whenever the fuck you see this uh same i guess. but i was being literal about that like no of them actually DIED but there was blood everywhere that i had to clean up before the others tried licking it up)

[3/3/2015 6:35:47 AM] Evan: Oh.Wow. [3/3/2015 6:36:10 AM] Evan: I thought about that at work, lol. It just occurred to me that I forgot to ask you what cat murder meant.
