maybe i'm pathetic and stupid for letting shuu - a fictional character - affect my life so much within seven years but like.
because of shuu i love flowers, i realised flowers make me feel very joyful. i love colour and fashion because of him. he helped me realise i was Not Straight. when i first started struggling with an eating disorder, with depression - he made me feel seen. he made me feel a little more ok with myself. he helped me understand that being 'overly emotional' or 'dramatic' wasn't a flaw.
shuu quite literally had saved my life. several times. i don't care how stupid anyone thinks i am for being so attached for him, i won't get rid of him. ever. he's been the only thing i've had to latch onto some days. i can't ever forget that.
he may be fictional, but he's real inside my head. my love for him is very much real. i will never not love him. he's changed my life only for the better. i love him so much.

ASH ILY! What would 'for want of a neil' be about? (@stabbyfoxandrew) (you don't have to answer today i know wipw is your busy day)
OH AERIE YOU KNOW I'M WEAK AGAINST PEOPLE ASKING ME ABOUT MY DUMB THOUGHTS ILY2.
It is 90% pun at the moment but the main thought right now is an Andrew going through the events of the Trilogy kind knowing what happened the 1st time but for some reason....Neil isn't there.
He knows Neil is supposed to be there.
So it's Andrew chasing the ghost of Neil, trying to find him, did he dream him all up, was Neil Josten just a beautiful pipe dream? But he keeps finding evidence that Neil exists. It feels like Neil is smoke in his fingers, he can almost see him, catches wisps of his scent, but when he reaches out Neil isn't solid enough to grasp.
So he keeps searching and things change around him because Neil Josten isn't there. Some good and some bad but it's hard to feel good about any of it when Neil isn't there.
There's also the concerning gap in memory before he found himself looking down at some new recruit who wasn't the boy he wanted to burn the world down for.

so tell me about this hatchetfield oc you have
Ok so I’ve had him for literally not even two hours at this point so it’s subject to change, but his name is Oswald.
His main inspiration was Mortimer Grey from Dreams of an Insomniac (or the fanon version of him, at least), though he also pulls from similar characters such as Alastor from Hazbin Hotel.
His story (so far- again, subject to change) is that he used to be a member of the Church of the Starry Children back in the Waylon era. A literal Starry Child, that is, as he was just a kid back then.
I haven’t decided yet if he’s actually a Waylon or just the son of one of their followers, but regardless, he was a member of that devoted little family just like anyone else.
Or at least he was, until the Hatchetmen came for them, and one by one massacred his family, and all he could do was run and hide.
(note: I’m pretty sure it was never stated when exactly that took place but if anyone has a specific date please tell me in case I need to change this)
As the Hatchetmen searched the house, the poor young Oswald, who was probably around 10 or 11 at that time, could only cower and pray that the gods he had worshipped his whole life would save him.
And, in a rare moment of mercy for the Lords in Black, they intervened.
One member of the Starry Children was never found during the attack on Waylon Hall. Just disappeared into thin air… or perhaps, into the Black.
Decades later, in the modern day, a strange man- looking to be no older than about his mid-20s yet dressed like some sort of stereotypical, monochrome magician, and with a speech pattern even more outdated than his outfit- appeared in Hatchetfield.
A man going by a name that hadn’t been heard in years.
The main concept behind Oswald was basically just “what if Miss Holloway, but reminiscent of the 1920s-40s instead”. He’s very rubberhose-cartoony.
There’s a lot of parallels between the two, as well: Holloway is associated with music, and Oswald is associated with art. Holloway has plenty of identities, whereas Oswald has none.
Holloway’s relationship with the Lords in Black is very parasitic since she’s basically just using their powers for her own needs and they get nothing (but entertainment, that is).
Oswald’s relationship with his ‘uncles’, as he calls them, is far more symbiotic. Wherever he goes, they follow, in a way. Though I should stress that he’s not a bad person by nature: rather, he was made a bad person by his upbringing.
Yes, he does their bidding and also finds murder funny, but that’s because he was conditioned to. And he also doesn’t understand why anyone would hate his uncles, but like… of course he doesn’t! They literally saved his life!
Anyways, that’s Oswald. Any further questions or corrections about lore inconsistencies or such… well, my ask box is always open!

What happens to Pokémon after they pass?
Asking the real tough questions lately, aren't ya anon?
Well, there isn't a whole lot of difference between Pokemon and humans in this regard.
Our physical bodies just kinda reach the end of their journey, some just longer than others.
What happens to us afterward is left up to everyone in their personal lives.
Pokemon are treated with respect, and we have places like the Pokemon Tower in Lavender Town that is well reported of high supernatural activity.
Some pokemon might have a strong connection to the supernatural or higher power, so theor power might linger on for a while, but most of the time, life passes on pretty peacefully.
It's really hard to continue with this kind of topic without getting too philosophical but what's the most important thing to note is that the life we have here is precious and wonderful.

Velial Telren, at age 21, is already part of the elite of Nesean wizards.
He wishes to study spatial magic. Has wished so his entire life. He is incredibly competitive and skilled and works relentlessly towards his goals.
Spatial magic, however, is not a field open to just anyone. It is highly volatile and dangerous, and, crucially, only a court wizard can do actual work on the subject outside of theory. And theory is good, certainly, but it's not what's going to bring leaps forwards, at least according to Velial.
So he works to become the court wizard.
He is told, years before he's a wizard, that it's impossible. No one in their right mind wants to become court wizard unless they have some kind of strong attachment to the royal family. He shrugs and gets back to work.
Velial Telren, at age 21, is the youngest court wizard Neseah has ever known.
He's been better than anyone else on technical, theoretical, and practical tests. He has lists and lists of ideas, of theories to protect not only the royal family but the kingdom itself, and despite barely knowing them he gains their trust incredibly fast.
And so he asks to take the oath.
King Nelvaren and queen Nakaveh are hesitant despite their trust in the young man - he is only twenty-one. Taking an oath like this is no small undertaking. It would, quite literally, weigh on him for his entire life unless it was broken by a royal or by his own skill and willpower - something incredibly hard to do even for the best wizards.
But he assures them this is what he has wanted his entire life and they relent.
Velial Telren, at age 21, is the sole expert on spatial magic in Neseah who is allowed practical experiments as well as theoretical.
And he shares his findings with the rest of academia and participates in lectures and discourse and seminars.
He's bound to the royal family of Neseah for his entire life, and he considers this duty worth it.
However, Velial Telren has a problem.
At the height of twenty-one years of age, the oldest he's ever been, the smartest he's ever been, the most knowledgeable he's ever been...
Velial has beef with a 14 year old with too much wits for his own good.
