For the shipping ask meme :3

Trevor/Grant + family

Walter/Leon + entertainment

Death/Juste + fate

Leon/Mathias + arid

AW YEAH WOO YEAH

1. my favourite guys... grants whole rebellion thing went incredibly south and in the nes translation i recall him saying dracula killed his family, so theres nobody for him to really introduce trevor to; and we're completely in the dark regarding the status of any family members trevor has, so im not sure on that. but i think trevor would have a lot of concerns about *having* a family with grant, after the way the belmonts have been treated for so long, so... i think that if they did, theyd probably give them the danasty name, just to be safe, and perhaps to give grant a bit of peace after his living relatives possibly all got mega mauled by draculas girl gang army

2. okay we know that the entirety of loi is walters favourite movie until the very end, lets not kid ourselves. even after that, i think walter would find leon at the very least incredibly intriguing. rinaldo says to leon at the very beginning that "he must really like you" which, HMMMM, but also has implications for any later developments after both their lives go completely down the drain. i think that no matter what they did after loi (possibly go on a dual revenge quest assuming alt ending, because we all know walter would be THE WORST influence), walter would regard it as a new sort of game, leon of course still at the centre: very entertaining indeed

3. FATE HUH. FATE. the successor of fate and the funny skeleton man doing everything he can to perpetuate that fate... we love to see it!! their dynamic in the game is incredibly interesting, with this being the (as far as release date goes?) first showcase of deaths down to clown attitude when it comes to helping slash not attacking 'enemies' if it doesnt endanger his master. hes flexible! and juste, in turn, doesnt attack him until death starts a fight. they cooperate for a bit! despite immediately recognising juste as a belmont (colour of his soul? idk thats kinda 🤨) death gives him some answers juste wouldnt have realised on his own and leaves him be until he himself actually realises "oh shit dracula time i gotta go prep", even though it wouldve been easier to deal with juste before he got more gear and whatnot, and juste showa him the same courtesy. theyre also kind of snippy? which is fun! they banter! the whole parallels thing juste has going on with leon is especially obvious, and especially fun when it comes to them. not death letting things slide because juste reminds him a bit of leon :p ahhh doomed relationships

4. arid huh? hmmm...

theyre both. both definitions. after loi, their relationship is a pit, a giant swathe of burned and dead land between them; nothing can ever grow there again, except for the hardiest weeds, the fruit of hate and loathing. and too, after loi, their lives are arid. meaningless. aside from vengeance leon has nothing, and now that hes had his vengeance mathias has nothing. their lives are dull and empty. quirky huh

6, 13, 30!

6. say three nice things about yourself (three physical and three non-physical).

gahhh okay >:( lol

i like my voice (i'd count that physical lol), my eye color, my hair - i like the waves in it. i like the way I make unexpected connections, that I am driven to create and that I am a passionate person

13. what’s your comfort food?

Biscuits and gravy or zuppa toscana <3

30. what reminds you of home (doesn’t have to mean house… just things that remind you of the feeling of home)?

so there is this very specific smell that outdoors colorado has in the summer - its a sweet sort of almost herby scent. i love it and its super nostalgic to me

FUCKED UP WIZARD SPELL IN YOUR ASKBOX ✨✨✨✨✨✨!!!

[ribbonpinky-art]

What are some tips you have for drawing chubby characters? I have a lot of trouble doing it and I want to draw my characters’ body types accurately. You draw bodies so well, I’d love to have your talent!

please excuse me for taking a while to answer!! I appreciate that you love how i draw fat characters <333 I wasn't sure if like... i wanted to do a verbal explanation or have a whole tutorial, but i doodled a few examples anyway!

fat is affected by gravity, so areas of substantial fat appear weighed down by it (most of the time- everyone is different). it's also good to practice double chins, which are very easy to draw once you drop the need to give everyone a defined jawline

think round! fat is round and sometimes a little squarish around the pelvic region

the main things i can suggest are to not be afraid to draw people Wide. don't be surprised that you can draw characters wider than u think, and even wider than that! there are endless kinds of chubby and fat body typs to draw and see

o also, chubby and fat people tend to not have visible collar bones. another thing i suggest is to fill ur social media feed with fat liberation blogs or just fat-friendly blogs that have a lot of irl photos of larger people. that'll help build ur mental library, and it'll show u the beauty of human diversity for ur palette!!

here's a couple resources for u as well: Fat Photo Reference

Morpho Fat and Skin Folds (art reference book)

Adorkastock has plenty of larger bodied pose references too. this is their deviantart link, but they have a main website as well

here are various blogs that showcase fat acceptance, information, and art:

Priest getou and nun reader or villager reader....(anything other than the word both isnt acceptable...😡😡😡 /j) -🪄

🪄 ANON I SEE YOU AND YOU RAISE A VALID POINT but please consider…… priest!geto and non-believer!reader.

like… imagine. you just happen to waltz into a church one day. you don’t believe in god, you aren’t interested in praying, but you’re exploring a new town and the church is pretty and you figure it could be a nice way to burn time.

you enter the building to find that a sermon is taking place. a priest is speaking to the few rows of people listening; it’s a fairly small church, but paintings and sculptures and beautiful cathedral glass give it a sense of mystique that you’re drawn to. so you take a seat and halfheartedly listen, not praying like the rest, not singing along to the hymns… you stick out like a sore thumb, but hey, it’s not as if anyone is paying attention.

except someone is, and it happens to be the priest that was holding the sermon just a second ago. the same one you spent most of your time oogling once the paintings started to bore you, because he’s so pretty for a priest. beautiful long black hair, amber eyes, sharp facial features, pretty hands — and the smoothest, silkiest voice you’ve heard in your life. like a sun-soaked bundle of lillies.

… also, his cassock is just a little too tight of a fit to tear your eyes away from.

you stick around a little longer once most people have left, just scrolling on your phone and basking in the quiet, and that’s when he approaches you. he jokingly tells you that it’s always obvious when a non-believer enters a place of worship, but he’s not mad; only amused. you end up chatting a bit about your beliefs, he’s a lot more chill than you expected, and…. well. he’s just really, really charming.

so maybe you end up coming back the week after. maybe his smile is a bit like a spider’s web. maybe it becomes a kind of routine to speak to him after his sermons; you still don’t sing along to the hymns or spend any time on prayers, and he still finds it funny. maybe once in a while you end up liking a paragraph from the scripture he’s reciting, and he’s always more than happy to discuss it with you. but mostly you’re there for him. for your chats, for standing outside and badgering him about how contradictory the old testament is while he smokes and listens with an amused grin.

rain hits the ground with a steady rhythm, earthy tobacco floods your veins, spiders by the ceiling weave a web of dew, and his presence is a little more intoxicating than you think is appropriate.

suguru just… isn’t a very orthodox priest. he only believes about a tenth of what the bible says, he has his own view of god, his own thoughts on worship. he smokes. he may or may not occasionally manipulate church-goers into donating money so he can invest in another overpriced painting. you once ask him if there are any bodies in the basement you should know about, and he answers that any self-respecting priest wouldn’t conduct their blood rituals in the basement of their own church. he knows how to pick locks. he tells you once, very quietly, that he doesn’t believe man was created in god’s image. there’s a look in his eyes that you don’t comment on.

he’s funny. charming. pleasantly suspicious. your conversations are enjoyable for the both of you, and eventually the edges of his cedar eyes begin to crinkle the slightest bit whenever you walk into his field of vision. sometimes he eyes your lips for a little too long, and a honeyed irony seeps into his grin when you call him out on it. he asks you if you’re tempting him on purpose, and you shrug. whatever exists between you remains unspoken.

one day, he tells you that he believes it was god who sent you to him. you furrow your brows and protest with a mutter reminding him of your beliefs, how you believe in free will, how you waltzed into his church out of your own volition. no one else’s.

he only smiles, and flicks the butt of his cigarette. you think he remains unconvinced.

Zack gets hold of Seph's phone and changes his ringtone + records a morning alarm message! What are they??

Green eyes groggily slide open, holding their own weight for about three seconds before fluttering shut again. There’s a tired groan, a lazy shuffle in the crumpled mass of sheets and linen. Sephiroth rolls aside on his pillow, away from the thin tresses of sunlight that are beckoning him to awaken.

Five more minutes… he mumbles in his head. He had been up since 3am…

Just five more…—

*BEEEP*

Gooood morning, sunshine! It’s your bud here wishing you a fannnnntastic return to the conscious realm! (It’s Zack, by the way—some people say I sound like a girl over the phone.) Anywho I recorded this message here to make sure you’re maintaining a healthy circadian rhythm! So c’mon now, pal, it’s time to get up! Get up, be active! Get up, be active! Get up, be active! Get up, be active! Get up, be active! Get up, be active! GET UP BE ACTIVE! GET UP BE ACTIVE! GET UP BE ACTIVE! GET UP BE ACTIVE! GET UP BE ACTIVE! GET UP BE ACTIVE! GET UP BE ACTIVE! GET UP BE ACTIVE! GET UP BE ACTIV—

“ALRIGHT I’M UP!” Sephiroth yanks the blankets off, swiping his phone off his nightstand to silence the alarm he absolutely did not set. He runs his hand through his hair, brushing aside the tumble of silver locks from his eyes—too tired to really question how or when on Gaia his best friend hijacked his PHS. And it wasn’t as if it wasn’t unpredictable, either; of course Zack would find a way to make sure he was sleeping well. That was just the way his friend was, kind and caring and overprotective.

Of him…

A vague smile crosses Sephiroth’s lips as Zack’s intentions really sink in, shaking his head in amusement. What was he going to do with him?

He sets down his PHS, letting out a yaw—

OHHHHHH WE’RE HALFWAY THERE! WOOO-OAH!! WE’RE LIVIN’ ON A PRAYER!

THE FU—

Sephiroth stumbles backwards and onto the floor—completely and utterly startled by the EXPLOSION of music that abruptly erupted around him. He looks around in confusion for several seconds before realizing the source of the radio is his own PHS.

Still on the floor, Sephiroth reaches to answer his phone.

And Zack’s voice cheerily greets him.

“Did you get my alarm?!” :D

Hello all cats of Cypressclan. How concerned are you for the wellbeing of the cats in Buddingclan aka Flintclan (I think that was the old name)

Pondstar: "All that being said, we have no plans on aiding BuddingClan in the day-to-day. We've passed on their story to the other neighboring clans at a gathering, and currently it has been agreed to leave them be. There are greater things at paw currently than the potential to expand ones territory."

Transcript from the images: "I won't pretend I was one of Magpiestar's biggest fans, but I will admit that his presence at gatherings has been missed, even by me. To be frank, I always thought he was a weak and foolish leader, but his amicability was appreciated. No one wants to live through wartimes, and the peace we shared will not be forgotten. The formation of BuddingClan in FlintClan's wake is a testament to Magpiestar's ability and I feel a greater sense of respect for the old tom now that he's gone." "The way that FlintClan fell was a tragedy unlike what we've seen before in the valley. The wolves have always lived alongside us, just far enough to not impede. There have been incidents before, but nothing like this. Not an entire clan. It's been a heavy weight on us all, not knowthing if they intend on doing this again. CypressClan's camp is well hidden, but we're not so unaware as to think that wolves can't find us."

Why do people call SKK toxic? I have never understood it because they never meet any of the criteria. Are they at times rough with each other? Of course because they are literal criminals. Adjust your lens according to their surroundings and you will see that it is one of the least toxic ships. They have their own individuality and friend circles, they aren't codependent on each other and their main way of fighting/settling arguments is to play videogames/ have bets. They trust each other and know that the other person will be fine and when required are ready to jump in to help.

People also often point out the scene in Dead Apple where Chuuya punched Dazai and I saw it more of a "get back into your senses and start acting as the human I believe you to be" then the "you are not a human" punch.

Like why are they toxic please???

I don't think people actually know what toxic means. I made a whole rant about this on my analysis blog, but toxic doesn't just mean that there's conflict, and BSD relationships are so complicated that an all-encompassing label like "toxic" getting slapped on is so counterproductive.

In the wise words (/s) of me; you cannot apply real world standards onto a fictional relationship, especially when their universe is very different to ours. The BSD equivalent of WW1 took place 15 years ago for them, violence and death are norms within their society. If, for example, Atsushi and Akutagawa were regular people in our universe acting like that, it would be a problem, but they aren’t, so we can’t be viewing their relationship through our lenses.

The world of BSD is not black and white and neither are it's characters, and, consequentially; their relationships. Of course there are relationships within the series that are toxic and/or abusive, such as Akutagawa and Dazai's, there's no question about that, but it's still not so simple. There's many layers to each character and relationship within BSD, and if you only ever look at the surface, you just won't understand.

But in terms of Soukoku, they've only improved each other? Theirs is a relationship built on mutual trust and the constant presence of another, they push each other to be better and make positive changes for the other, they trust each other with their lives. There is no way Soukoku can be toxic in my eyes and it infuriates me to see people say that they are.

You are absolutely right about the Dead Apple scene in my opinion, and if I ever do some scene breakdowns that'll be one of the first that I do.

Very kind and talented @SamiChenVA has dubbed one of my translation from the artist @comet_bug_ (with the creator's content too of course). The result sounds so nice!!! Don't hesitate to let them a little message under the video~

[dve]

my main thoughts about judith is like she's been in the military for most of her life. ive had two drinks so i might be misremembering but like she was like six??? or something to do with that when she joined the cohort. her dad is high up so she wasn't sent out at that age but it does suggest something about child soldiers outside of the fourth. also like the drainage part of her necromancy like how do you teach that to someone?? she's very interesting anyways

really good points anon!!!! i think that the houses' normalization of children being introduced to warring for the empire at such a young age is so interesting, especially given how fourth and second seem to function in tandem with each other even though typically fourth is more closely associated with fifth fandom-wide. in turn it's intriguing to see how people in the fandom respond to that association and the military structure of second, how judith functions within it, etc.,

the drainage part of her necromancy seems to be second house standard fare (although i think being a generalist is also fairly common if i recall correctly) and i wish we'd gotten to see at least a little bit of it in action through judith in gtn since it's used to empower the necromancer and not the cavalier, separate from any of the trails which i think are at the ultimate extreme of what necromancy means / does / the theorems of it all. for me it brings to mind the blood of eden memorandum at the end of htn before AYS when blood of eden points out that one should not engage with the enemy unless absolutely certain that there is not a necromancer present in the unit, and even then, maybe still don't, because if there's a necromancer among the enemy and that necro can essentially embolden and strengthen the non-necromantic parties, then it makes combat even more frightening than it already is.

as for judith being in the military all her life, yeah! yeah. yeah... i find some people's hostility towards judith as a character interesting when it makes sense to me that judith, who is still so young by the time she's been dubbed the captain in ntn and possessed by varun, is obviously clinging to the beliefs and ideals of the empire taught to her from childhood, seems to need that belief in the empire to survive in the conditions she ends up in. she serves as a fun narrative contrast to characters like corona or camilla, obviously, in that they've got doubts of their own, but judith's dogmatism in AYS especially is also a response (to me) to her own doubts, fears, and further goes to show how deeply-ingrained her beliefs are and how deeply-ingrained those beliefs may be in second house and the cohort altogether.
