#though to be fair that still isnt alot

[jellytamalies]

they phantoms sure love them theaters

[akutasoda]

something happens and im head over heels all over again

synopsis - simple things you do that make them love you even more

includes - albedo, beidou, xiao, ayaka, ayato, wanderer

warnings - gn!reader, fluff, wc - 536

albedo ★↷

albedo adores how you have adapted the practice of making him packed lunches ti take up to dragonspine if he returns for the night, or you go out of your way to deliver it too him or give to someone else to take to him. they're normally completed with a little cheesy note saying 'your doing great!' or something sweeter sitting at the top which never fails to make him smile. or just him knowing that klee trusts you and can often be found playing with you or simply taking her round mondstadt.

beidou ★↷

beidou knows how her way of life is often shunned upon, not that she cares much anymore. but just seeing you embrace that part of her and helping around the ship even though she insits you dont have to. or you helping out her fellow crewmates. she views all crew of the crux as family so seeing you bond and get along really well just makes her appreciate you more and more (it seemed impossible for her to adore you as much as she does but she does).

adeptus xiao ★↷

xiao may seem uninterested when you want to go to festivals with him or simply spending time together strolling liyue or whatever you manage to drag him into doing, but sometimes you can catch a small glimpse of his lips curling slightly more upwards. you're constant reminder that he deserves to be treated to relaxation and have breaks every once in a while makes his cheeks slightly dash red knowing you care that much about him.

kamisato ayaka ★↷

ayaka may not be the head of the kamisato clan, she still has her fair share of work to be doing which often leaves her feeling tired. but that was until you introduced your 'spur of the moment picknicks'. just you two going to beatiful spots in inazuma surrounded by nature and having small picknicks talking about whatever that isnt her or your work makes her worries melt away. and each time she grows more excited for you to tell her to clear a spot in her schedule for another picknick.

kamisato ayato ★↷

ayato is often stuck doing paperwork or giving out orders, but ever so often he sees your familiar mess of hair pop round his door to deop off your latest trinket, sometimes its matching keychains you saw at a stall and brought it on impulse or sometimes, his personal favourite, you bring him a homemade gift. a small plate of sweets or foods, a handmade trinket or little notes to motivate him. it works and sometimes he gets you little items aswell.

wanderer ★↷

wanderer has been through alot. from his birth as kunikuzushi, to his time as scaramouche and eventually his fall as a false god into who he is now. wanderer. and you, someone who he cherishes deeply and has been with him thick and thin. sure its been difficult for you and him but you've made it through all. so sometimes small moments like you and him preparing meals together, you dragging him to do whatever with him although he says he hates it but you know better and just doing small domestic acts that mean the world to him.

Mantis

Now I'm not sure how big camel spiders are but I assume they're possibly a bit bigger than a mantis so

Mantis is happy that someone is around his height

He finds you very menacing though,hes not going to lie about that

Hes actually surprised when you tell him your fangs arnt poisonous,they do still hurt but arnt venomous

This makes him feel abit better but hes still abit weary

You make for a good opponent,considering your size and everything it makes a fair fight for mantis

Your both really small,fast and talented so you make for a powerful duo.

You scare of quite abit of people,If you dislike this mantis will do his best to comfort you

The fact that you can manipulate and control wind is so fucking cool

If people thought you were a hard opponent to beat before,well they'd be in for a surprise

One time you managed to trip monkey with your wind manipulation,mantis found this hilarious,after making sure monkey was okay of course

Your a dangerous and menacing enemy and mantis is all for it

He likes cuddling you alot

He wonders if you can spin silk

Tigress

She has alot of respect for you

Despite being small you make a worthy opponent

Your also one of the only ones who's able to beat her

Shes impressed with how much raw strength you have despite being so small

Your wind manipulation plays into how easily your able to best her

She likes to train with you and push your limits

She wants to improve the both of you,pushing the limits of your powers and pushing herself beyond her own limits

If shes ever a little to hot she can feel a small breeze come her way

She likes picking you up and placing you on her shoulder

She'll never let mantis on her shoulder but she will absolutely let you

Should anyone ever threaten to step on you they're going to be stopped immediately

Tigress wont let disrespect like that slip past her

Shes also surprised your fangs dont hold any poison

She likes to softly pet your fuzz

Viper

She loves your fuzz so much

She likes to slither around with you on her head

The fact that you can manipulate wind is so fascinating to her,your so small and yet you can controll such strong air currents

Shes weary of your fangs at first till you disclose that they arnt venomous

She dosnt find the fact that your a spider scary she loves it

She likes to spar with you every so often

You help her put the flowers she has on her head

She wonders what the world looks like from your pov

Shes incredibly sweet with you and softly pets you with her tail

She finds it adorable when you put your front legs up when you try to be menacing

She honestly finds you more cute then menacing(probally because shes a snake)

She likes to put little things on your head like acorn tops and small flowers so you can match her

If you let her dress you up she'll happily hold you up like a kid who just dressed up a cat

Po

Hes thinks your cool but finds you abit scary

Keep his distance from your fangs

He had a hard enough time beating mantis and you have wind powers?!

He dosnt spar with you to often(probally bc he knows his ass is gonna get kicked)

He likes picking you up and putting you on his shoulders or head

When you use your wind it can actually be pretty peaceful aslong as hes not getting flung around by it

He likes to softly brush you fuzz with a finger

Will try to handshake with each leg of yours

When sparing he trys to be as careful as possible

He trys to see things from pov

He trys to learn wind manipulation as well,let him have his fun

He likes to play with his action figures as you watch

He likes to ramble about the things he likes and just talk in general

He tries to make a tiny house or dummy for you,they either end up to big or to small but it's the thought that counts

He likes to learn about what you can and cant do as a spider

Shen

Hes surprised how a little thing like you is so strong

He loves to spar with you and push your abilitys

He dosnt learn for a long time that your fangs arnt poisonous

Hes surprisingly careful with you,dont mention it though

He will sit you on his shoulder and will almost forget that your there

If anyone stares at him or you when you are he'll glare at them harshly

He makes sure your as respected as him

He sees you as his equal no matter your size

Hes fascinated by your wind powers and will constantly ask about it and try find out how far you can go with them

If you ever need help getting up somewhere he'll hold out his hand so he can help you get up

He's affection deprived so he dosnt know how to ask for it,he'll give subtly hints though

If hes annoyed with someone in the room theyll suddenly be escorted out by a sudden strong wind,how strange

Tai lung

He has a tone of respect for you

He sees you as one of his worthy opponents

He loves sparing with you way to often

He finds you wind manipulation interesting and sometimes hes a tad bit envious of it

Needs reassurance sometimes of how great his is

He also likes to pet your fuzz

He asks you to watch or join him train

He likes to make accomplishments with you

Hes fascinated by the fact your fangs arnt venous and even thinks that you had your venom switched out for your powers 💀

He likes to put big things on your head just to watch you pull it off with an annoyed expression

When you hold your arms in the air he finds it funny and actually has a hard time believing it's a defense mechanism

Holds you close to him as a makeshift hug

He will try not to hit you with his tail

It can be hard though since your so tiny

*"Protecting you"*

Warning: yandere Alpheratz,some spoilers,middle school hand writting,Ruby existing

Summoner/ Ruby:"pathetic sorcerer....."

Tears ran down the summoner's/Ruby's face looking directly at someone with hatred and fear while the summoner's/ Ruby's wrists and legs were wrapped with strong purple magic-(yeah idk how to explain this one-) that were gripping on their wrists and legs everytime Ruby/summoner tried to make a move.

Alpheratz: "you can call me that all you want but let me kindly remind you your not getting out of here"

Alpheratz said as he stood there, with his hands on his pockets and his head down looking at the summoner/Ruby with a blank expression with blood stains in his cheeks

Alpheratz:"i already told you im trying to protect you from all this?.....ah.....your just as clueless as Pollux..."

Summoner/Ruby:"protect me? Pfft- from what? Theres nothing to be afraid of......your just worried that once im free your LITTLE murder will get exposed isnt that right?"

The summoner/Ruby lets out a snort, earlier before when a sorcerer tried to led Summoner/Ruby out after one of them encountered Sirius after what he did(in floor 9-) but Alpheratz heard it and unexpectedly killed the sorcerer and grabbed the summoner/Ruby and kissed them by the lips only for them to get knocked by magic.

Alpheratz:"that also but no...."

Alpheratz steps forward towards the summoner/Ruby and the summoner/Ruby eyes slowly turns to fear in a instant after seeing Alpheratz hand slowly makes a magic ball-(yeah idk how to describe magic-) his hand slowly forming a flaming magic ball and the summoner/Ruby grits their teeth trying to get off the purple magic strings but Alpheratz was getting closer and he raises his hand and the summoner/Ruby then shuts their eyes and screams.

Summoner/Ruby: "STOP!"

the summoner/Ruby eyes were still shut but nothing happens so they slowly opened their eyes to find Alpheratz restraining himself on hurting them he lets out a tired groan before eventually calming down but he knelt over to Summoner/Ruby and grabs their chin with his large hand and looks at them

Alpheratz:"i cant really have the urge to hurt and see you in tears can i?...your the only one who cares for me anyways.......its fair for me to also care for you...even though you maybe a princess brat who longs for Spica seriously what do you see in him?" (the green part is not directly towards the reader only from my summoner for those who thinks the green part is towards your summoner-)

Ruby get quite offended by this but tries to hide it,

The summoner/Ruby moves their head to make Alpheratz let go of their chin and he eventually does intentionaly and the summoner/Ruby looks direcrly at Alpheratz with eyes filled with anger

The summoner/Ruby:"i hate you....your a pathetic sorcerer....."

Alpheratz doesnt say anything for a moment he doesnt seem offended by what they said before he holds their chin again his eyes never leaving theirs

Alpheratz:"but in the end you still came to help me and cared for me huh?"

Alpheratz chuckles softly while the summoner/Ruby slowly starts to feel sleepy and the last thing they remebered was Alpheratz kissing their forehead.

The summoner/Ruby wakes up suddenly letting out a gasp and they find themselves by a tree while someone is sleepinh by their lap and the summoner/Ruby looks down to see Alpheratz taking a nap

Alpheratz: "hmm.....huh?..summoner/Ruby are you alright? Wait.....are you crying?"

The summoner/Ruby face is filled with tears relieved its just a dream while Alpheratz sits up cupping the summoner/Ruby cheeks in his large hands while he slowly wipes each tear falling down trying to reassure rhem

Alpheratz: "seriously....did you had a dream? Did you see Arcky in your dreams again? Or Sirius....but you can tell me you already got alot in hand so feel free to express yourself around me....if you dont feel like it i say we take a nap again but i will be having you on my lap"

Well, my friend groups been mean to me as of late. They have been making fun of my appearance which is fair enough i’m not the prettiest person, loudly in public- people i dont even know have been laughing at their jokes. Ik i’m just being sensitive n its just a joke so i asked them to stop joking about it in public which led to them doing it more often as its funny when i go bright red. Theyve been saying to me that autism isnt even a thing n i’m just seeking attention, some of them anyway, the others like to do things that trigger me occasionally.

Anyway i started to stop hanging out with them the past few days slowly which started a chain of arguments. I told them i didnt want to be friends with people who have been using me for a but of a joke, they then said that we were never friends in the first place- i never got the hint and whenever they got bored theyd try n get reactions out of me bc it was hilarious to them- had another gc with everyone in it but me. Never invited out either. Called me delusional too, quite the shocker who would have thought, n proclaimed in public about my attachment to the dimitrescu sisters. I got called alot of names. Trigger warning- they told me to go slit my wrists n follow through with it.

So I’m currently thinking about the dimitrescu sisters to distract myself. Cassandra mostly- i speak to the posters i have of them n cuddle up against them which kind of helps ig. Like i said I’m delusional 😅

Ik this is just childish n i need to get a grip but i’m on the verge of having a bit of a breakdown.

(TW, mention of bullying, harassment)

First of all, hon; your feelings are entirely valid.

And with (really no-) respect (-at all), fuck these people. They’re awful humans for treating you this way, especially so after disguising themselves as friends.

Regarding the things mentioned in the first paragraph. “Pretty” is immeasurable. Perception varies from each person. Just take a piece of art for an example. Surely not everybody is going to come to an agreement over a piece. Some might say it’s divine. Others have a different opinion on it. Try remembering that it’s not about being “the prettiest person”, because there is no such thing. Another example could be made of the Dimitrescu sisters, if that helps. Some argue Bela is the prettiest. Others argue Daniela is, and others argue Cassandra is. There is no right or wrong. Claiming “you aren’t the prettiest person” is simply one viewpoint🙌 aside from all this, it is absolutely wrong for people to target you because of your appearance, no matter what.

The next point is being “sensitive”. When you dislike something, especially someone’s joke, you are not being sensitive. Being made fun of is not pleasant nor right, and getting upset over it is perfectly valid.

I am proud to hear you’re trying to distance yourself from these so called “friends”. Despite not knowing them, they seem like a horrible and disrespectful bunch. Regarding being called “delusional”. I don’t necessarily see it as a bad thing at all. Can it lead to bad situations? Sometimes. But the word itself is not an insult to me. It’s a character trait, hon, and it should not be used as an insult. I for one describe Daniela as very delusional on a regular basis, and still love and support that fictional woman with all my heart. Delusional is but a trait, but it doesn’t define a person.

Saying such things and treating you this way is horrible, I’m so sorry that happened to you hunny.

It’s great you’re able to find comfort like that! It’s very admirable in my eyes. Again, “delusional” isn’t necessarily bad. I have friends that talk to stuffed animals. I have friends who cuddle up to them and act as though they are Alcina. I have friends crying and talking as though Alcina or one of the sisters is there with them. If it comforts you, that’s what matters, hon🙌

And lastly, it is not childish at all. I do hope you will be able to rid yourself of such horrible people, and find loving and respectful friends! :)

In honor of Pride Month I think its fair to absolutely lose it over these panels again

Everytime I get back to these panels its just so overwheming.

Over the entire series we see Slade love and be loved but it doesnt really last does it? All these women even addi but it never lasts it always dies out. They or Slade always leaves. Someone always leaves be it on purpose or not.

Except Wintergreen.

Out of all of them hell even Addi herself sometimes, Wintergreen has dealt with SO much shit from slade directly and or indirectly.

He of all people has more than enough reason to leave, turn around and never come back. He could leave him, rat him out, hell even kill him but he doesnt. Through everything he stays. Even when he has every reason even when it kills him. And thats just not something you see. I mean srsly. Show me another comic from that time period that had a man who at times could be horrible that had a bestfriend someone who stuck through everything for them. Someone who even without labeling it LOVED them. Because be honest with yourself. You dont stick with someone forever, be there for them for everything if you dont care, if you don't love them. And it could be platonic it could be more who cares. Its still insanely obvicous that Slade snd Billy cared so much about each other that even people around them, EVEN PAT WHO WAS ROMANTICALLY INVOLVED WITH SLADE AT THE TIME SAW IT.

Another thing about these 2 pages that will ALWAYS have me losing it is the conversation between pat and slade and the last 3 panels afterwards.

The conversation: Slade asks Pat to tell him about billy. Not only does he ask what kind of man he is the one question that stands out to me is "were we really that close". Then Pat answers that they were so close that it didnt even seem like just friends anymore because of how much they cared for each other. because be honest. It would have to take a lot of love to deal with what they deal with. She even adds that billy cares for him more than a friend and also says not in a fatherly way either. Even mentions if she didn't know any better she would think they were gay.

Panel 1: Slade and Pat sleep together after the entire conversation. The thing is the entire conversation leading up to them sleeping together was not about pat, its not about her and Slade, no its about Slade and WINTERGREEN. Even after everything said and done Slade doesnt talk. Pat just falls alseep after.

Panel 2: still no words are said but with a sleeping pat we see a wide awake slade. Hes obviously thinking but about what. Hes turned toward the right looking ahead deep in thought and this is where the 3rd panel rips my heart into pieces

Panel 3: Wintergreen is also wide awake in bed. Unlike slade though he isnt turned toward the right no he is turned toward the left. Almost as if he and slade are staring at each other. Still while no words are said nothing is written its very obvious this means something. It means alot. An entire conversation. Thinking about their closness. Their relationship. What they mean to each other.

And the most heartbreaking thing here. Is that Slade doesnt remember Wintergreen in this moment. When asked pat could have said something like. Oh. Bestfriend. Father figure. But no. She told the truth. She told as how everyone saw it. Wintergreen was more than just s friend. He loved slade. And however that may be taken HE LOVED SLADE. And Slade loved him.

There are so many more examples i could bring up. So many more times that showed how much there was between these 2. I wish this was something comic writers understood today. To make 2 characters and their relationship so interesting you have to show its good and bad sides. You need to show how they complete each other. How they help and mold each other. Even right here with unwritten words we see so much emotion. We see all the unwritten words. We see such a strong bond that you dont have to guess about anything. Another thing today is that this is before times were more accepting and i do truely wonder if this were to be written today what they could do with it. What would become of them. Because i think we can all agree slade is at his very best when with wintergreen. A common theme. Without wintergreen Slade just cant exist. Deathstroke can but slade needs his friend thats more than just a friend. He needs someone he loves. He needs his compass. And at this point billy doesnt just represent morals. He represents the very thing about slade. Love. Whether that be family friend whatever. How ever you look at it. Slades very thing is his love. For everyone around him. Its what makes him, him. Its what makes and breaks Slade and Deathstroke.

Anyways 3am rant over. Dont like it move on.

[meat-pvppet]

just gonna talk about my vessel guy, archive vessel, real quick cuz i never talked about him that much and i dont wanna bother my friends with my oc chatter

these are mostly disconnected thoughts vaguely strewn together that steered up cuz i listened to the man on the internet broken vessel theme with lyrics

ALOT under the cut be warned

anyway archive vessel's a really mild-mannered little guy, a little socially anxious and awkward cuz obviously, and kinda just hangs out despite everything, fucking around in the archives and keeping themselves occupied by reading whatever was left behind and trying to maintain the place once they found it

it kinda started to idealize the idea of family and friends through what they could read and they started to wish they could have that

be a big ol normal family with their siblings and parents

maybe they could have made friends too

be a kid

but they realize that, obviously, due to the nature of their conception and just

what they are

its not really possible

but that doesnt stop them from wanting that

i can imagine they hold a lot of resentment towards their father for abandoning so very many of its siblings to die in the abyss

theyd probably understand why

he had a kingdom to protect and he believed this was the only way

but that doesnt mean they would forgive what was done

they hate how they cant help but feel

cheated at life, yaknow

done in by something they couldnt change

and after its cursed conception, to simply be cast aside to rot among the corpses of its siblings...

their anger is painful to them, like something lashing out violently in a cage barely holding it in

it wants to lash out at those that hurt them, but obviously thats not possible

so it just

festers like that

mind you, they wouldn't take that out on their siblings

they were put into the same situation as it, so it isn't fair to them or itself

at most, they treat their siblings like the most precious scrolls in the archives

theyd also just

put in alot of their time to gather the bodies of their siblings that were able to escape the abyss but died anyway

make proper "graves" for it to just

grieve

even though they never knew them

they just wish they couldve found and helped them earlier, but at the least it finds peace in giving them proper resting places

i feel like their shade wouldn't have the same restrain they usually have with their anger and would probably violently attack anything that comes too close so uh

itd be a really big hassle to try n get them back in their shell if ever it got cracked open like an egg

theyd also act like this if they were ever able to meet pk after everything like in those aus

theyd still have some restraint cuz

yeag

but they just

are not handling it well™

theyd meet him once and never want to see him again until they can find it in themselves not to wish to hurt him

shell would crack (moreso than it already is) under the pure stress

they wish to yell, to hurt, to let out all these pent up emotion

but it wont

despite everything, when meeting pk again, it'll find it unfair

i mean

everything pk did to them and their siblings was unfair but

archive vessel cant bring himself to make it "fair" by letting all that resentment out like that

doesnt feel right

if ever they were forced to continuously interact with pk theyd keep it as brief as possible and treat him like a stranger-it-has-to-be-around most of the time

if pk were to try to like

be a dad to the archive vessel itd just be

very uncomfortable and awkward, cringing away from touch and, again, keeping things as brief as possible

which may hurt pk (if he cares cuz note my characterization of pk isnt fully done cooking so im not sure if he'd even be interested in doing any of this it might be more likely he never interacts with archive tbh) cuz with other people showing affection to archive, they eat that shit up but with pk itd just

naw

generally, they dont wanna be around him for too long cuz then it'll need to actually feel the things they feel at full force and feeling things is kinda cringe to them

they hate how intensely they feel sometimes cuz of just how painful it is for them (projecting /hj)

equally so, they also hate bothering people with shit like that cuz "i survived until now, everyone else has their own problems and issues and struggles, i dont need to add on to what theyve got" (projecting /hj)

[sunjaede]

This isnt a vent or anything but like

I go through old mutuals blogs and I just think about how much of a terrible person I used to be. And you might say “oh no DT you were great!” But no. Nah fam. I was legit horrid at 16 years. I chased and stalked peoples blogs, i tried to force friendships, I made said friendships crash and burn…and then acted like a victim. Baby no, it was my fault. I really had to figure myself out after I deleted my very first blog. Do you know how hard I cried when i deleted it because i knew i had to lose all my posts and reblogs and such? But yknow, I shouldve understood myself before even making it. Cuz im sure theres people out there that are still standoffish about me and i dont blame them. My therapist helped me learn alot about myself and I only wish I could apologize sincerely to the people I’ve hurt in the past, even though it was years ago. It was years ago but I still think about it. And it wasnt fair to them. So, I guess, maybe this counts for a formal apology. Bro. Im so fuckin sorry. Like that shit was grave drastic and it shouldn’t have happened.

Anyway.

I could go on but I didn’t really want this to be vent. More like trying to casually trying to get something off my chest? But thanks for coming to my tedtalk👊

[meatriarchived]

how do you analyse a character to know their mannerisms and how to write as them?

ooooo okay so, to be fair, i dont exactly have a set method to how i do it ts definitely just. i toss shit into a cauldron and see what sticks, what makes them tick what feels right and what doesnt gets yanked out so to speak.

if the character has source material its definitely alot easier to do because of the visuals they have! i like to re-watch scenes alot with characters to try and pick up little things on them.

for example with thomas - his actor had a habit of making small, jaw / teeth movements like grinding teeth / rolling jaw joints, and i translate those to mean either mimicking him hungering after victims, or with his agitation getting to him and him struggling to soothe it and keep himself in check. he also has moments of hesitation when charlie's barking orders - because i don't think inherently thomas wants to kill; but charlie stabs and twists his traumas back into him, repeatedly, and it sets him off. thomas is also just BRUTAL in his hits (perfect example when he kills the slaughterhouse boss at the start of '06) and not even simply taking his size into account for it, brutality is alot of what he knows from childhood - growing up with a father and brother who relentlessly antagonized him. so with that in mind, when he attacks, when he hunts down, when he kills, its him reflecting what he saw in his father and in charlie.

maria on the other hand, if we note how apparently the flores father has either passed or walked out on them some years ago (i follow moreso that he just. left.) maria had to grow up immediately, to be there for her mother, to be there for ana. i see her in her youth having had her head in the clouds, dreamily spending her younger years simply being a kid, being a teen, and truly saw no ill will in the world at large. and then their father left them, and she realized oh okay life isnt always kind but thats fine we've got this, i've got this. she stepped up following him leaving and did her best to do great in school, to help around the house, to help their mom. because of this though she hides alot of stress and anxiety, and while they dont always show outwardly to others, it IS made clear by her sleep paralysis / night terrors, its clear in her habits of biting on lip and insides of cheeks. of her wringing hands and fingers together, rubbing her wrist or arm or shoulders. its evident when she smiles so brightly but that light isnt reflecting in her eyes. maria i write to try and be truly as friendly and sweet and as sunshine incarnate as possible - however even the sun has its dark spots and hers is evident by her melancholy, her fears, hatred and anger. when she feels her highs she is truly warm and bright yet when shes at her lows she burrows into ground to go deeper - to hide.

nancy, as shes fresh on the mind still hers are more visuals than anything. she is reptilian and a.rachnid in movement. she is elongated limb coiling itself around prey, inching toward throat. she is eyes that see more than believed, eyes that are everywhere - in the walls, the ceiling, the furniture, the flames of candle. she is the lapse in time remembered, where one comes back to reality to find themselves not where they once where, with no recollection of how they got there. she is chameleon in the way she changes herself, altering her appearance, altering how she is viewed to the naked eye. she is face obscured by shadow, with unseen eyes glowering from darkness. she is the brush of web against skin that makes you flail arms in a panic.

otherwise though before i let this ramble a lil too long dbskd

i tend to focus and re-watch alot of scenes for those who have actual source material to go on. i look at faces and how expressions are made on them, how lips turn and twist, or how eyes widen or corners of lips twitch. how hands and arms express, how to describe tthe way they walk.

for those without real source material (like maria esp, like my trials muses) i look at gifs of scenes from other shows, see what mannerisms and little things that i attribute to the personality im gearing them for. maria's tend to show apples of cheeks, excited jumping in place, or the quivering of lip and chin when upset, the recoiling into herself in either attempt to hide or in disgust. for simmi its the rolling of shoulders and back muscle, the lucifer stare. its little things like that.

ill also say, ALOT of it has to do with the fact that ive written so many different characters over the years - from absolute saints to some vile motherfuckers. i have alot of... i guess i can call it "profiles" so to speak of behaviors that i tend to attribute to certain characters, mix and match with any canon personality traits,a nd then run with whatever i feel sticks. last time we counted, my offsite co-writer and i had about 530+ characters in a story we've had fun with for the last nearing fifteen years, so, safe to say i have alot of memorized mannerisms that i dont really need to go out looking for anymore c;

but truly, the majority of it is simply just hyper-focusing on available scenes and finding animals / symbols / etc that i can draw influence from for their behavior and voices.

2024 Game Clear #11 Mega Man ZX Advent

This is largely the last mega man platformer that I hadn't played and beaten yet- there are some technically like maybe ill suffer through the DOS games sometimes and also if you count Mighty No. 9 as a mega man game then yeah I haven't played those yet but its pretty much just RPGs and oddities at this point. It also obviously the last game in the Zero/ZX collection that i had yet to clear which is significance because that collection is what started this misguided attempt to slowly playthrough every mega man game back in 2021 so to have that collection completely behind me now is kinda crazy.

I played through this twice doing a Ashe run and a Grey run respectively and while the changes are pretty minimum I am glad i did because I think I would've left with a little bit of a bad impression if i didn't replay it due to external stuff making me frustrated during the end game, cause me to play bad, making me even more frustrated! My Grey playthrough was much smoother, a good reminder that sometimes these games are better the second time after you know what your doing and man yeah this game rules.

What an improvement from first game, in the first game it very much felt like the search action game design and the Mega Man game design were getting in each other ways and not really melding together well. It feels a lot better balanced here. I will say that I think the overall aesthetic™ is a little stronger in the first game but y'know that comes at the cost of getting across the map being a pain so it's a fair trade.

It's also kinda nice to have a subseries that deals in the X series terminology of Reploids, Mavericks, A-Trans etc without being super bleak at all times lol.

This story does feels like it was written more for Grey than Ashe, I didn't really understand why Ashe- the non amnesic was so desperate to learn her past when her intro seemed to set her up as someone chasing the future rather than the past, so it's a bit odd

The voice acting pretty funny though I've been quoting Thetis's "I won't give up💅" to my friends a lot. looking through the folks involved it seems to be alot of Shenmue alumni or are only credited on this, one of the actors I looked at had credits on the original dub of Symphony of the Night, Shenmue, Baten Kaitos & X7 the forest gump of cheesy game dubs. But this honestly it isnt anywhere near the worst mega man voice acting out there, nobody audibly flubs their lines and like the best cheesy dubs there alot of line delivery that are pretty memorable im sure if i grew up with this game would live in my head like dubs such as Sonic adventure and Beyblade do. I mean even only playing this twice Atlas's "History of the world, History of the war" got stuck in my head just because it's odd rhymical delivery.

Also Zero and X's X7 actors are in this cast but not as model Z and X I just think that kinda funny.

Shame that we'll probably never return to this world in a meaningful way because I still have alot of questions about this world: What's Ciel up to? I'd love to learn more about the biometal holders, is Thomas teased plan related to Legends? since the other Biometal holders survived the crash does that mean Model Z is alive and other enemy control?, will we ever address Model A just being Axl? so many possibilities for the future of this story

coming back to talk about the caros again. but more specially their biological parents because they make me so emotional too. they were both so young. they were only 17 and 18 respectively when the twins were conceived and neither of them knew what the hell they were doing. they were just kids! they werent even dating, and they were using protection and everything, it was just. a mistake! but they are both so. so incredibly loving people. they werent ready for this but they were pressured to keep the pregnancy and do whatthey could. and they were practically still kids so they just did it! this kid may have been a mistake, but they were going to do what they could to give them a good life

the both of them barely graduated with how muchof their senior year they were absent. always skipping class to pickup extra work and save up money for their kid. mama caros parents helped with what they could, but they were just scraping by with the 3 of them already, they couldnt aupport a nre mouth to feed on their own. papa caros momwas less supportive, and expected her son to do it all on his own

they fought so hard for this kid. this kid, singular. and then they find out thats not quite right. theres two of them. they barely had enough prepared for one kid, let alone two of them. they kept scrambling and did what they could but it just wasnt enough. they couldnt handle two kids. and it wouldnt be fair to just keep one of them, would it? they put so much effort into getting ready for one kid, and couldnt even do that. it was hard to accept that all that work was for nothing, but they wouldnt be able to support 2 children and keep them both happy. so this is how the twins ended up in foster care.

and now that the twins are adults, they were able to get in contact with their bio family. their parents were estatic, theyve thought about them almost daily for all those 18 years. osmar was alot more open to getting close to them, wanting to reconnect with the culture and family he lost. it was his idea he and zel took on their last name, and zel went along with it.

but zel is less easy to please. they understand perfectly why their parents gave them up. why they couldn't take care of them. they understand, but thats just not enough for them. zel is a very bitter person, even though they hate that about themself. they just cant help but be resentful of the people who put them through this system that hurt them so badly. they cant help but be resentful seeing that they had more children later on, and they got to stay with them. its hard being the forgotten one, even knowing the reasonings behind it.

zel doesnt hate them, and they do tag along on some of the visits osmar takes to see them. but its just hard. its a hard process, and one that zel isnt quite ready to take on. they made their own family, one thats hard to just wiggle your way into. even if they should have been there this whole time

as much as i love commentary videos (i can watch those and video essays non stop for hours), theres a genuine sickness in my stomach when theyre reacting to someone whos being sexist or misogynistic.

ramble below the line, but please check out the ending part.

idk what makes me feel this way, the borderline ridiculous stuff that comes out of their mouth or the fact someone can be so stupid that they say this in todays day and age. and i get that for how modern it is some people still agree with these stupid comments and speeches but there will always be at least a handful of people who agree with whatever.

and yes i do feel this way with any type of discrimination, but it sickens me when i hear about how badly some women, as myself, hate being one. its unfair. sure itll always be that way and "life isnt fair" but still, its just crazy. if youre someone who sees a woman whos complaining about hating being a woman (not because they dont feel comfy in their own body ((or want to be a different gender)), but because they hate how theyre being treated. ), and for some reason thinks theyre being ridiculous, please dont interact with me lmao.

its sad how i feel afraid to walk alone at night or be in a car alone. or go on dates, or talk about this to anyone, or go swimming , or go out in general. nobody, i mean nobody, should have to feel afraid to be out in the world, because thats wrong. especially with todays messed up beauty standards. im not exactly skinny, but at least im trying to change myself. it hurts alot when someone points something you hate about yourself and acts like you dont know. its sad how no matter how pretty or skinny you are youll never be good enough. i hate it. people arent perfect. nobody is. nobody ever will be because thats how humans are.

i have had encounters with sexists. just as any person would. and when someone makes fun of you or mocks you with the reason youre a woman, it doesnt make you feel smart, and its not easy to not let them get to you. genders, races, and sexualities will never be equal to the public. women will always be under men. gay people will always be hated. non white people will always be treated and seen differently. and in my eyes, everyones equal and always will be but me or you will never be able to change someones mind.

and ngl, i used to say i hated men as a joke, but i dont think its much of a joke anymore. younger me would call me weird for hating being a woman but im so glad i wasnt exposed to how gross the world could be sometimes.

this is a rant, but also a reminder. if you are sexist, misogynistic, racist, transphobic, or just a bigot get off of my blog.

im not the best a wording things so, if you think that i see anyone thats not white or gay differently, i promise you youre wrong. im not racist, homophobic, or any of that. this is just much better than me crying to myself about how much i hate humans sometimes.

.

.

also, if youre like me, and think nobodys there for you, or talking about your problems wont help, it will. i had a small talk with a friend and even though it was only a few texts and sentences, i really felt touched. i only talked about my family problems very vaguely. it was a stupid video. 'if you had one wish, what would it be?" i answered something like i wish i could change the way my family sees me and his one word response of "why?" made me so emotional.

friends and friends. people you talk to on a regular basis and people you know want to talk with you are friends, even if you dont think so.

my DM's are always open. even if this only reaches a few or onyl a few see it, you can always dm me on this acc or my other. hell i might not even know your name but just know that i care about you so deeply. i would never want someone as amazing as you to feel down or angry.

so please, if you think that talking about your problems wont help, try it before you say that. it can change decisions you make in the future that youll regret. again, my dm's are open always if youre struggling. i care.

Rockin wit Mars 🔥☄💫 (Part 2)

Hey yall!

I'm back with the 2nd half of the mars signs! Thank you for liking and interacting with my first post of the mars signs! We'll do Libra-Pisces Mars here.

LIBRA MARS:

Libra is in its detriment here(Libra opposes Aries, which rules Mars). A libra mars may not be the first to react, but they are extremely protective about justice (Libra rules the scales=justice) and serious about protecting people and keeping fairness. I feel like this makes them amazing lawyers or leaders in the justice system! A Libra mars is also a good collaborator as they do care what others think and try to be aware of others opinions, but be sure to understand what is best for the group Libra mars(assuming you're leading the project). Dont take a Libra Mars for granted just because they have a detrimented Mars. You keep acting an ass and they will get you together!

SCORPIO MARS:

Wow a Scorpio Mars plays the long game. This is also a domicile placement (Scorpio traditionally rules Mars), so just know a Scorpio Mars knows how to sting. They dont like it when people break their trust, loyalty, or overstep their boundaries. A Scorpio Mars are good people to collaborate with because they are very strategic and this makes them excellent leaders. They also radiate very powerful energy as a leader because of that pluto energy, but people may not understand why as pluto is also very secretive. Something I notice about a scorpio mars is that their anger or power tends to change them alot as time goes on (Pluto does represent transformation), so they may change as a leader while in a leadership postion or going through tough projects. And best believe, they get it done!

SAGITTARIUS MARS:

Many people may take a Sagittarius placement as very happy go lucky, but that doesn't mean their anger or power is something to be ignored! A sagittarius mars has a very powerful anger because Jupiter rules expansions. So when they get pissed they get PISSED!! This also may happen because alot of people dont take Sag seriously because of their positive disposition. Luckily this isnt long though, but it is much. Also sags are blunt, so they may say something fucked up out of that anger, be mindful of that sag mars as words do matter. Sag mars are good collaborators because they love hearing others opinions and appreciate different perspectives especially if they work with a diverse group. Since sag is ruled by Jupiter, this placement may have influence as Jupiter/9th house rules long distances. So I wont be surprised if this kind of leader is highly respected and well known, especially in a positive light (Jupiter = postivity). Also, a Sag mars may be try to be over idealistic about their project goals, but a little time management and goal setting in steps will help :).

CAPRICORN MARS:

Mars is exalted in Capricorn. Exaltation basically means the sign exalted in a planet may carry the most powerful energy of that planet. With Capricorn being exalted in Mars, a Capricorn Mars may be slow to react, but do not let that fool you. A Capricorn mars will and can get you together. They are ruled by Saturn (rules authority and structure) meaning when they get you they GOT you and it hurts. Yet, that's not to make you afraid of them, because this energy makes them terrific leaders. They play by the rules, they're traditional, authoritative, structured, and powerful! Yet do give people grace Capricorn mars if you are in a leadership position and dont make things so pressurized (I know it's that Saturn energy but still). A Capricorn mars is very serious and deliberate with their projects and they do take their time, which is good. That exalted mars helps!

AQUARIUS MARS:

An Aquarius mars may be a leader who is good a breaking the rules or creating new ways of doing things due to that Uranus energy. I can see an Aquarius mars in charge of a protest or lead a human rights group! An Aquarius mars may express their anger through their convictions and ideas, because they especially dont like it when people try to denounce their ideas or hurt their communities. This is a mars that will die on the hill of their ideas lol, but they do it for not only themselves, but they try to have a central impact and help others progress forward. These people are innovative leaders!

PISCES MARS:

A pisces mars may not be reactive, but they do put also of energy into their creative projects. They may not be as aggressive, but they dont be fooled. A Pisces is ruled by the 12th house/Neptune. You may think they let you off easy until they unexpectedly cut you off and if you ask them why and they tell you now you looking shocked and confused 🤣. A pisces needs to conserve their energy, so why expend that energy arguing with you? They'll just cut and leave. Yet, dont do that with everyone Pisces Mars. Sometimes arguments or disagreements need communication. A Pisces mars are good to work with because they care about others opinions, yet if they are leading a group they need to come to a conclusion on what's best for the group(and you cant please everyone). These placements are good leaders in the art world. They know creativity, they love it. Yet, in order to get to this leadership postion, they need to put ideas to action and do it consistently.

That's the end of the Mars series!! What series would yall like to see next? Let me know!!

Love y'all,

-Claude

Zukka HCs

(Sorry if i subconsciously stole some of these, if its yours or you agree tell me and we can be friends :) )

Zuko

Softest boy on the planet

Hates everyone (but sokka) touching his hair

Just wants a break but doesnt know how to take one

Stressed

Loves buying gifts, will buy anything that reminds him of someone to give as gifts

Meditates and does yoga to relax

Learns poetry and recites it off by heart just to be dramatic

Loves a good volcano

Hakodas favourite son

Carves Sokka a betrothal necklace with a little sun on it (hakoda teaches him how to carve when he asks for Sokkas hand)

Total mamas boy and it shows

Talks to plants and animals when hes alone

Once him and Sokka start dating he takes over as mom friend (get out of the bisons mouth, sokka)

Sokka

Very protective of his friends

Has been known to follow through with his threats

Learned how to plait hair when he was younger and now plaits Zukos hair whenever he can get his hands on it (sometimes he puts flowers in)

Will shop 'til he drops, gives the best gifts every holiday

Pumpkin spice is his flavour

Beats the sh*t out of punching bags when he's stressed or worried

Started wearing his hair down more because Zuko loves it

Caught Zuko practicing his proposal but is still suprised when it happens

Doesn't like tea normally, but loves Zukos

Really loves Zukos scar even though he's self conscious about it

Dad friend

Really likes wearing dresses and makeup (blames Suki but he has secretly always liked it and Zuko is the most supportive man to walk the earth)

Together

They each have huge brains but the second they are alone and out of work mode there isnt a brain cell between them

Still train like they're trying to kill eachother but tears happen if anyone acctually gets hurt (no matter how serious it is)

Sokka is just better at pai sho than Zuko, Iroh loves it and Zuko gets unbelievably competitive (has never won)

Like to sunbathe and read together quietly on the beach when theyre alone (when they aren't they're the reigning volleyball champions)

Never stop touching, constantly in contact and their separation anxiety its alot (they did both almost die saving the world when they were teenagers so, fair enough)

Zuko laughs at ALL of Sokkas jokes. No matter what.

Idiots to lovers to literally being mom and dad of the gaang

the problem is that most people’s justification for thinking of squares as a child is BECAUSE of his autistic traits, and how neurotypicals generally equate being autistic to being childish, which is just blatant infantilization. him not knowing better isnt proof of him being a child when those are easily seen as autistic traits too.

really the main problem here is that people are taking the fact he’s younger than marle and exaggerating it to mean he’s a literal toddler when he’s not. marle has no canon age. squares has no canon age. he could be 100 years old if marle was 400, etc etc.

also no, some people who see squares as a teen or whatever aren’t doing it for shipping purposes (at least I personally don’t care at all for ships), they’re autistic people who see themselves in squares and loathe the fact people are calling him a child for exhibiting neurodivergent traits. of course autistic children exist, but autistic adults do too, and they dont get taken seriously at all and get called children as well.

I dont mind people who headcanon squares as a child since again, no canon age, but insisting that your view is the only right one while using ableist reasoning to back it up is just gross.

Angry anon in my inbox 😳 let's dissect this paragraph by paragraph

People don't need "justification" to call Squares a child that's literally just stated in canon (Marle states that he's basically an infant at one point) there's no way to argue with that. Again, you can have both neurodivergent and childish traits at the same time. They can be autistic and be a child at the same time That isn't "infantilization" that's literally just reality.

Just because we don't have exact numbers for ages doesn't change their mental age? Alot of characters in puyo don't have canon ages but we can infere good estimates based on the way they act and how people refer to them. Squares is generally referred to as a child, so we can assume he is one. Even if he is 100 and is aging is different from humans he still is mentally a child. Sorry

I only brought up shipping because I had most seen it from shippers the most. (I mean they kinda have to be to justify it) And really this whole mentality grosses me out the most because of the shipping. Without it I probably wouldn't have noticed (though it would still be gross) And I get it, autistic adults have it incredibly rough and it's not fair at all, but pretending a child is older than they are and shipping them with another teen won't help that.

Finally, don't call me ableist. I'm literally autistic, and everything I'm saying here is from an autistic person. And I don't like autism being used to justify inappropriate headcannons and especially ships. Just act normal for once. Please. You'll survive if this one child is a child.
