#which im sad abt bc it is intriguing and all that

[mariniacipher]

okay, this is again so gorgeous and picturesque???? like, it rly feels like you could paint this and like jorkien is inviting you to do so-

like, i personally had some issues with the prior fight scenes and the reading of the dwarves’ account, but as we get back to the architecture and the beautiful and dreadful it does feel like jolkien gets his stride back again

[luck-of-the-drawings]

OH ARTHUR BENNETT.. such a gorgeous and intriguing character. terribly burdened by a GRUESOME set of crimes, his light suffocated by a HEAVY century of GUILT. so tragic, so dark and broody, and yet PAINFULLY awkward in any social setting ever

[themyscirah]

Leaks looking like after War Journal ends that creative team is going to be split between Batman & Robin (PKJ, with Javier Fernandez on pencils) and Green Arrow (Montos, with DC newcomer* Chris Condon on script), which should be interesting I think

Also looking like GA is going to get an annual w Williamson and Izaakse, as well as maybe going to legacy numbering, at least for an issue or so (#350)

*newcomer to regular DC writing, from his credits it looks like he's written one story for a DC anthology before (Harley Quinn BW&R)

Leaked solicits under the cut

[townslore]

if you're comfortable, i would love to know more about the akechi npd headcanon. i think it's a rlly interesting take on his character and i wanna learn more abt npd bc i have bpd and ig im interested in what people experience with the other cluster b personality disorders? i just kinda wanna know why you think he has it and also maybe some of the mental stuff he has to experience with it. doesn't have to be detailed or personal i dont wanna make u uncomfy! i just cant stop thinking abt this hc haha :)

im actually on a mental health break right now, but this ask intrigued me so im answering it anyway. first off thank you for staying kind throughout the whole thing :)

its kind of hard for me to really describe why i think a character has/is something, because things like personality disorders are still a wide spectrum and every person experiences things differently, and i dont wanna make it seem like theres a one-way to have npd, but im gonna try anyway!

there is a site which helped me immensely throughout my self-diagnosis, so if you want to read more about the topic than what im gonna say here, here u go:

lets start simple and the thing that makes it most obvious to me: the engine room dialogue.

people with npd can heavily rely on other people for their self-esteem, because narcissists usually have a very low one. thats why they take on many tasks ("i was extremely particular about my life, my grades, my public image—so someone would want me around!") and might overwork themselves for more praise and acknowledgement ("you wanted to be acknowledged, didn't you? to be loved?") because its what they need to not constantly crash. a crash is something that happens when you dont get enough supply—which can be words of affection, praise, acknowledgement, etc—and you internalize it, doubt yourself, feel disgusting and generally you get to a really low point. this is just speculation, but i can see goro having a ton of those, especially during the time the phantom thieves get popular and he becomes public enemy nr 1. thats also why i drew him thinking "i really need supply rn but i'd rather die than ask for attention" because vulnerability is also a big thing people with npd can struggle with. we dont want to be seen as weak—our narcissism is essentially a shield, so we're seen as tough, when in reality, our egos can be very fragile.

one thing that the engine room makes very clear and also other interactions goro has with akira, is that hes very envious of others who have had it better than him. especially someone like akira, who was thrown away by society just like he was, was able to move past it, found friends and is acknowledged by many people. goro is jealous of it all, and thats the thing; people with npd can feel like they're supposed to be special ( and to me, with goro explaining how he got his personas, and how he often calls others stupid, its clear that he does feel that way about himself to a certain degree ) and anyone who threatens that status, anyone who seems much more special than we are is seen as a legitimate threat. its an ugly feeling and it can make us hate even those we love for some time.

this attributes to dysregulation of our emotions too. people with npd often feel their emotions, especially negative ones, way more intense than they actually should be and have difficulty calming down due to that. negative emotions often linger for a long period of time and its hard to move on so we hold grudges. now this might come to no surprise to anyone that goro is a very angry and sad person. especially in the engine room its clear that even after the others extend their hands out to him, its difficult for him to comprehend and he still acts rather mean and calls them idiots for trying to "save" him. when someone with npd is experiencing a multitude of negative emotions, it may cause them to avoid other people or act aggressive towards them because they feel trapped. theres many explanations as to why goro is the way he is in the 3rd semester, and i dont think only one of them has to be correct, but i do think that with the knowledge of whats happening ( like: being under the control of someone else again, or having to work with people who are unpredictable and who have seen you at your lowest point ) makes him act out to keep all of them, especially akira, at bay.

in the duel against akira—im sorry i cant really quote it, i just have a general idea of it in my head rn—i read what he says in a way that makes it clear that he struggles with a superiority AND inferiority complex, which sounds stupid at first i know, but its fairly easy to explain. like i already said, a narcissist's self-esteem is usually pretty low and we rely on others to know how to feel about ourselves. theres two traits of npd that are necessary traits to have: being self-centered and feeling entitled to good treatment, and seeking admiration from others/liking to be the center of attention. so there is some kind of superiority complex going on, at least thats what i would call it in goro's ( and my ) case. we can feel on top of the world in one moment, but once we have a crash or experience intense negative emotions, its back to being the worst human being on earth. i dont think its ooc to say that goro hates himself, as some like to claim he only ever thinks hes better than everyone else. i think that just attributes to harmful stigma. with everything goro experiences in life, coping with narcissism to hide a fragile sense of being just makes sense to me.

theres more i could probably add here but this thing is long enough as is. please do keep in mind that many of my headcanons for goro are me projecting—but that doesnt mean theres no basis for it in canon as well, as i've tried to explain here. at first i actually thought he could have bpd, but i dont know enough about it to really judge that—so it could still very well be that, or both, i dont really know how it works! im rather new to this as well, and at first i was scared of doing any research because npd is so heavily stigmatized. i wish there were more people like you, anon.

if you have any more questions feel free to ask them :)

[bright-and-burning]

sending you a yapping ask... ofc i know youre a passionate landoscar flag waver but i'm curious about what other ships you like?

oooooooo… honestly might be faster to ask me what ships i don’t like. that is only half a joke… general tier list of ships goes like.

landoscar (my leetle guys… my two sharp toothed sopping wet kittens in a tattered cardboard box that i find half in the gutter behind my apartment…) is like the top most tier. their hold on me is unshakeable.

things i will almost always click on: jendo, markoscar, those two in other interesting configurations, nortrell, nortrell+oscar, maxf + oscar... but ok honestly if a mutual recommends it i will click p much regardless of ship unless it’s one of my few Absolutely Nots akdhskdh

and then i like many Other lando and oscar ships… ill read some loscar, 2019 rookies in various shapes (triangles, sides of triangles, besties), nico r/lando (listen. hear me out. anyone else seen All Those Clips? yeah.). fernando/either of them. i am kind of intrigued by lando/lance which is out of left field i know but ive read a couple fics… i fuck w the vibes… i want to examine the vibes under a microscope… that’s less high up on the list tho bc of the sheer rarity. norstappen sometimes hits but i gotta be in the right mood. uhhhh there’s honestly only like two ships w them that i am Quite Hesitant to click on (like i need it to be written by a trusted mutual, or come recommended by 3+ trusted mutuals, etc) that fall into this category and they’re both w the same guy 😭 sorry 2 that man…

outside of the realm of mclaren slutting it up! pierreste is like . probably on the same level as like jendo and markoscar 2 me. fernando/lance (i accidentally wrote lando here on rhyming autopilot) a centimeter lower. the centimeter there is caused by like . i could write pierreste i don’t think i could write fernando/lance w any sort of realism/good voices involved. but i love seeing them be freaks on the dash. charlos when im in a mood ! the catholicism and religious-tinged devotion of ferrari as themes (and in reality) freaks me out sometimes tho so the stars reaaaally have to align for that. galex as a treat on occasion! logex (or whatever the fuck it’s called. have i mentioned i dislike portmanteaus .) HITSSSSS but rn it makes me Very Sad so. yuki/many people bc i love him but lowkey yuki/liam… chefs kiss ba dum tss. PRINCESS CAKE WHICH I JUST REMEMBERED EXISTS. martian… lots of older ships actually!! brocedes but less frequently for Weird Headspace reasons. who has the tag that’s like “never beating the polycule allegations” that’s for the 2010s grid cuz that’s how i feel abt those ships . mix em all up im sure ill like what comes out.

the “bc of my friends <3” category includes uh. glance, which i will absolutely read when it’s brought to my attention and support the mutuals in their endeavors (including reading + reblogging their fic/web weaves/etc) but tend to kind of . let slip from my mind otherwise. piarles is in that same boat. sebchal a little lower on the “will read” priority list. probably more that i am forgetting; it is very hard for a fic to be something ill Never read (so long as it’s written by a friend at least) it just might take me longer to get around to it

and then there’s the like. i am deeply intrigued but have never delved into them category, which is like. hulk/kmag. valtteri/zhou guanyu. like i see things of them on the dash and im like . wow there is something deeply psychosexual going on here . but have never gone deeper…

lots of the ships i missed are probably more like. i am intrigued (not deeply so) and have read a few fics that made me crazy but never quite caught the bug. there’s maybe . a handful of ships i generally dislike and they’re for very silly reasons mostly lol

[royallygray]

Given the fact that Aimsey and Guqqie are canon characters in your soul horizon au, im guessing you've watched Aimsey and her smp, so now I ask WHEN WERE GOING TO TELL ME HOW FUCKING COOL ASMP IS WE GOT LORE WE GOT SAPPHIC GIRLIES WEVE GOT ONLY NEEDING TO WATCH ONE PERSPECTIVE. I am only on episode 4 but my fucking god this shit is right up my alley and the lore has swallowed me whole waht the fuck???? This is even a question i just want to inform you that im in shock by whatever the fucks happening and i love it

IKRRRR

Like. okay I'ma be honest. I've also only watched to like ep4 since I keep like losing interest and like. I am obsessed but not hyperfixated and so I keep losing interest in watching the original content but like. I needed background characters and I was like "LESBIANS" and I was like I am intrigued by ASMP and like

Yeah. It's genuinely so nice to not be missing out on stuff bc you have no attention span or bc you don't want to watch multiple povs but gods I love it

idk which ep it's on, but Aimsey killing Tud is canon and Guqqie helped him through that and just

AAAAAA

also I live for the like. dislike to lovers.

Like

Okay so Guqqie is such a fucking ASSHOLE in the beginning, and like they're still an asshole in the middle, but they care. And LIKE

OKAY SO SUNSHIP DUO (that's Aimsey and Guqqie btw idk how into this part of the fandom you are) IN SOUL HORIZON ARE LIKE. SO FUCKING TRAGIC

SO THEYRE SOULMATES. THEY DONT FIGURE THIS OUT UNTIL LIKE AGES LATER BUT LIKE WHATEVER. ANYWAYS.

AIMSEY'S WANTED TO BE A HERO THEIR ENTIRE LIFE. GUQQIE IS A VIGILANTE BECAUSE SHE NEEDS TO PROVIDE FOR HER FAMILY AND STEAL FOOD AND STOP THE POLICE AND SHIT FOR TELLING PEOPLE NOT TO STEAL

and then Guqqie eventually went to the city where the Hero Corp is, right

and then Guqqie and Aimsey had a similar thing going on that Grian and Scar originally had

Except they were literally canon ASMP themselves

BUT THEN AIMSEY GOT TOO INTO A DEEP ASS CULT THINGY

And killed Tud

and Guqqie helped them out

and then something came back to attack them and Guqqie protected Aimsey with their own life

And then if Guqqie became a hero so she didn't get arrested and like because Aimsey genuinely thought it would be better for Guqqie since part of the original part of ASMP is that Aimsey's kind of innocent

But Guqqie has fallen hard for Aimsey at this point and they'd do anything to keep them. So Guqqie becomes Gem's apprentice

And Guqqie's vigilante name was Frostbite and the heroes thought that was too edgy so she had to shorten it to Frost anyways

So Frost becomes Fauna's apprentice

(also Aimsey's hero name is Prince and False's (who is their mentor) is Queen and I did not mean to name them off of bands/artists--)

And like. Guqqie's vigilante bg is rly important because it means that Grian trusts her. All vigilantes are like. Mutuals. in the way you would be on Facebook but not on Tumblr yknow

But Aimsey's naivety is also important bc Gem can tell Guqqie stuff, but Guqqie will tell Aimsey, which is okay, and Aimsey will tell False, which isn't great but it's still fine, and then False will tell Ren which is a Problem because Ren doesn't shut up

So Guqqie has to lie to Aimsey to protect Gem. And it's sad.

The side plot is sad. This is side plot. These are side characters and Guqqie is semi important by sheer just being Gem's apprentice but omg I love them

ANYWAYS IF YOU WANNA RANT ABT ASMP PLS TELL ME BC I AM INSANE ABT IT

Also pls spoil stuff. and headcanons and things. and like if you want me to put something into soul horizon I will do it bc I do need a little more fleshing out of their plot.

TY FOR THE ASK PERI :D

[funnywormz]

mp100 or toh for the ask game :0c?

someone else sent me mp100 so i will do toh for this ask!!

blorbo (favourite character, character i think about the most):

eda....... i love her so so so much......... she's basically the embodiment of everything i could ever want from a female character and she's the sole reason why i started watching the show in the first place <3 she's funny and silly. she's so sad. she's loyal and cares so deeply abt others. she's rude. she's uncouth. she's feminine. she's masculine. she can turn into a badass huge beast. she's bisexual. she's a milf. she's a witch and a hag. she's such a tragic character and yet still so fun. she's deeply relatable. she commits so many crimes. she's everything to me.

scrunkly (my "baby", character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped):

hunter....... he's such a good character. the owl house always nails comedy AND tragedy and i think he's a perfect example of that, he can be such a (unintentionally) comedic character but when you think abt him for more than a few minutes you start to get Sad. ik he's very popular in the fandom but i can understand why, he's such a great character

im putting gus in this category as well bc he's so adorable and i love him so much. such a cute silly little guy. his backstory was very relatable to me and he reminds me a lot of my younger self, albeit more outgoing and confident lol. he's a rlly caring and sweet character at times and puts his own feelings aside for the benefit of others, which is a side of him we see in the human realm especially. he's so young, even younger than the other kids, and he's been through so much....... someone give this kid a hug please

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fav):

darius....... i know he's already pretty popular in the fandom but i just think he should be even more popular. he's my babygirl and he deserves it

gus (again). like with darius he's already pretty popular but i think he should be Even More Popular given that he's a member of the main cast and all. he's such an intriguing character to me and he doesn't get nearly enough hype imo

glup shitto (obscure fav, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and i won't shut up about it for a week):

this golden guard......... he only appears for like one flashback scene but he's fascinating to me. he clearly wasn't integrated into witch society and was going along with philip's plan to hurt/kill witches, which is rlly interesting bc later on philip seemed to take on the strategy of telling the golden guards they were witches and letting them view him as a witch as well. i wonder if the moment in this flashback where they stage the explosion was the moment that convinced this golden guard to rebel, when he saw how people were suffering because of philip/belos.......

obv caleb as well. we haven't even seen him get animated yet or heard him talk but he means so much to me and every time he's even vaguely mentioned i go rabid. fingers crossed that we'll see more of him in the next episode

poor little meow meow ("problematic"/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fav):

obviously it's fucking Phil. hate this guy so much but i cannot shut up abt him or stop thinking abt him. putting him in a blender biting him kissing him so passionately (who said that)

horse plinko (character i would torment for fun, for whatever reason):

kikimora. she is so pathetic and i think her suffering is funny sorry

eeby deeby (character i would send to superhell):

him again. i think he should burn in hell forever <3

[dolliecworpse]

1, 4, 7, 11 ! (Of ask game)

꒰ 🪦 ꒱ WAUGH TYSM FOR SENDING IN STUFF FROM THE ASK GAME YIPPIEEEEE. it’z a bit long so under the cut it goes!

1. who is your favorite organization (armed detective agency, port mafia, etc.) and why?

URGHHH FIRST QUESTION AND ITZ ALREADI HARD. i think i’m gonna go basic tho and just say the armed detective agenci bc i don’t think there is a single character is dislike or hate in the armed detective agenci. wait no i take that back. NAOMI is in the armed detective agency. erm. idk i still think the armed detective agenci is the least fucked up™️ so yeah i think i’ll go with them.

4. whose backstory is your favorite and why? if you have multiple, that's okay too!

ough…this is a good one *pats myself on the back for my question making skills* tbh i don’t know a lot abt backstories (yet) but i think my fave is dazai’s rn. THATZ PROBABLI THE ANSWER YOU EXPECTED THO WHOOPS. although. from the spoilers i’ve gotten for season four yosano’s backstori also is intriguing!!! so so sad ☹️ i just wanna give her a hug (and also beat mori the fuck up). i wanna hug dazai too tbh. all the characters are so so fucked up…..my babies…..

7. do you have a favorite polyamorous ship? what is it and why? if you have multiple, that's okay too!

YES WE DO!!!! mostli bc darla (our dazai fictive) can’t stop crushing on ppl…….but aniways yeah yeah yeah!!!!! chuuya x dazai x sigma is so so yum. darla was/is dating chuuya and she has a crush on sigma so….she also has a crush on tecchou (which. explaining why we ship dazai x tecchou to ppl who don’t know we’re a sys is so fucking funni bc idek if they’ve ever interacted in canon. so like. it’z crack as hell.) so you could also say chuuya x dazai x sigma x tecchou (ITZ SO CHAOTIC IM SORRI). i’m trying to think of like. a polyam ship we have that isn’t bc of darla LOL but idk if we have one 😭😭 like i ship both higugin and tachigin but idk if that would work well as a polyam ship??? idkkkk

11. who is the most underrated female character in your opinion? if you have multiple, that's okay too!

tbh like most of the female characters are underrated…although some are underrated while others are just not as cool. there’s a difference. like i think gin is underrated (maybe not a lot, but she’s definiteli not as appreciated as her male counterparts) but margaret mitchell is just…not as cool. i was originalli gonna say margaret but then i realized the difference and i was like…oopsie!!! but yeah i realli like gin!!! i feel like the male characters often dominate the female characters in terms of populariti which is not super cool!!! but yk what can you do

[riewritten]

I love your Erwin longfic and fics! One of the reasons why the your fic literally broke my year 2022 beautifully. When I was at work, I was always thinking about the current episode or what was going to happen in the next episode. It was a good time. Honestly, I wasn't that interested in Erwin until I came across your fic. I can honestly say that my view on him is neutral. Because I'm a Levi simp haha. I rarely read one-shot fics here and there and as far as I remember, I didn't come across many long serious fics with dynamics. This must be what some fans are talking about when they say there are very few ErwinxOc/Erwinselfship.

And even though years have passed, I rarely go and read your fic. The last time I read it was on quotev and if I remember correctly I noticed some changes between some lines there and Ao3/Tumblr. I wonder if you edited it.

Anyway, without further ado, I'd like to ask a few questions if you don't mind me asking 😭 I hope this doesn't sound like a selfish question, but are there any Erwin fics you plan to write in the future, like a drabble? And are you open to requests? Speaking of drabble, I would love to see a DITB marriage oneshot haha. On another note, I'm an ocxcanon sucker and I want to say that I'm intrigued by your Oc. Does her have a name. And information about her 😳

Anyway, take care of yourself muahh ♥️❤️🩷

first of all,

please let me know who u are so i could send hugs and kisses your way :( ♡ i dont think i could ever get over with the fact that people reread my craft. like GOD!!! do i even deserve such a praise!!!

and what a coincidence bc i also was neutral with erwin until DIB happened!! i decided to make him my muse when a friend told me she hates erwin for being a 'war criminal'. while i already symphatize with his tragic story, i wasn't knowledgeable enough to counter my friend's claims. writing DIB was also a slow but fun journey for me to transform my sympathy for erwin towards sheer empathy, all the while appreciating how well-written he is as a character ;')

i see ure a quotev reader as well! posting the story in another platform was actually my attempt to inspire myself into editing the whole thing. u see, the first versions of DIB was SO poorly written grammar wise ;( but despite the motive, i only managed to edit until chapter 17!!!! idk maybe i loathed the chapter 18 so much i couldnt get myself to reread it anymore

and oh, dont worry abt the questions! i literally squealed when u said you wanted to know more about my OC 🤩

are there any Erwin fics you plan to write in the future, like a drabble? And are you open to requests?

this might be a sad revelation, but ;( i only plan to finish all my WIPs and then i'll bid farewell to this acc at last. i'll archive it tho so readers could go back to it whenever they want. finishing the WIPs in question could take long so im not very sad abt it yet lmao. that said, my request box is closed for good.

Does [DIB OC] have a name. And information about her 😳

oh man. OH MAN. the info dump im yet to tell you 😔 hMDKSDJ i haven't really thought of anything aside the face (which i posted here) but if u want!!! i could draw it for you!!! <3

[ashmp3]

okay re: ur vocal note/rant bc ofc i listened i have issues yeah omg i put it on in the background like a little podcast

and like i am sooo with you on this 😵‍💫 like its so unfair abt how a girl will take out her insecurity and anger at a guy and put it onto ANOTHER girl instead of the guy!!!! like be mad at him like it just sounds so 16th century witchhunt that apparently the guy isn't responsible for who he wants to sit and talk to and rather theyre mad that another woman is trying to charm and bewitch him like boohoo sorry u only see other women as competition and also u sound like a better person than me bc best believe if i was friends w a girl and she acted like that i would be playing breakup playlists and sulking and ripping my hair out and writing w a glitter red gel pen abt all the curses that i want to befall her bc there is nothing worse than being a girls' girl and then being hated by other girls!!!!!!!!! (esp bc of a man) feels like hell is a pit in ur stomach!!!!!!!!

and to insert myself omg i graduated hs a year and a half ago now but even from then until now ive had the same friend group which is a group of guys and for no other reason than that i genuinely like them and theyre like a group of brothers to me and we vibe but the hatred from other girls is literally heartbreaking 😭 bc every so often i would hear in high school abt 'oh xyz from this group of girls called u a pick me and talked abt u and said u want male attention' which is a batshit crazy take bc everyone knows that i preferred women anyway like wdym im not gonna date any of those guys in my group we are friends...just friends....and once in y10 this guy was obsessed w me and he was like a millionaires son and popular and i was shy and kinda intrigued so i dated him for a little while but 16 year old me would hear comments 24/7 in the hallways abt how i was some slut for doing it (it being dating him) which is crazyyyy bc every single one of these comments came from girls (and girls who i knew liked this guy)

so like omg yes to agree w u on everything nothing is more infuriating and annoying as hell when like girls forgo ur friendship and ur good intentions and just the overall sisterhood vibe bc theyre mad some guy is into u...like even if ur not into him back 😭 sorry for the long ass ask

call her daddy count your days call her ashmp3 is coming to take over ur little podcast…

i KNOWWW but genuinely she doesn’t have any reason to be mad at either of us? like he sat next to you because you dragged him there and then all you did was bat your eyelashes and giggle and i know she’s shocked that this didn’t work because she is really so pretty and men kneel down just to talk to her. And i am sure the guy doesn’t even like me i think I was intriguing to him and we hit it off well so of course it might look like that. also she knows i don’t even want him she KNOWS who i got my eyes on so i was just so shocked at her behavior.

also the whole thing about breakup playlists and red glitter pen i love you you are so funny and expressive i giggled… And yeah i don’t do that i’m like oh well moving on. I don’t like dwelling on things, and i don’t get sad i get mad. Mad because as you said, being a girls girl and then it flipping on you is just aggravating.

PEOPLE DO THAT ALL THE TIMEEEE like why is it so hard to believe that you see them as friends and they see you as a PERSON that’s their FRIEND no i’m telling you it’s girls that see attention from a guy as a confidence boost or confirmation that they are worth something which is all fucked up and not normal way to think about yourself… But i think the deep insecurities just come from the place of wanting to be accepted. And they can’t understand that you hanging out with your friends doesn’t mean anything more because they themselves couldn’t do it aka they would try and flirt… So u get hated on bc they project themselves and think what they would do. FUCKED UP!

i had that happen with another cancer guy and in hs and still now i don’t have instagram facebook nothing i am a monk in a body of a baddie. But i remember my friend showing me profile of random girl and saying “she hates you and talks shit about you bc of cancer guy” like you don’t KNOW ME. Hate HIM lmfaoosjdjsjs i mean don’t hate anyone… Crazy

and 🫂🫂🫂 long asks are always welcome and thank you for listening to my rant and i am sorry you went through things like this bc it’s truly heartbreaking being reduced to a “pick me” just because you don’t act shy around just some guys.

[hometownrockstar]

i always loved how unique of concepts jacob geller chooses to make videos abt, and how he talks abt them and weaves them into games n stuff, bc im a guy who explains and learns things well when theyre compared to something i can visualize and feel. really gives me the vibes so i can understand the invisible feelings you're trying to share with me. and i love the feelings aspect, i love how he leans into the biased and personal, its something lots of reviews n explanations dont include (he even talks abt this exact concept in his future of writing abt video games video, which i was SOOO happy he put into words) i first saw him when his quiet sadness in mario galaxy video was in my recommendeds and i was like ? and i watched it and i was so taken aback by how genuine it felt i teared up a lil... then i've always watched him since :) if u asked me to recommend my top vids by him i wouldnt be able to do so bc i just like them all a lot. go pick them based on what intrigues you the most from the title/thumbnail

[nulltune]

lynnnn will u tell us how u first got attached to hakuno and what u like the most about her <3 i want to hear it since i respect urs and ur appreciations for her sm

UBUBUBUBU THANK U FOR THIS ASK TSUN!!!! I LOVE TALKING ABT HAKUNO AT ANY CHANCE EVER (U KNOW DIS.. IM SURE!!!) SO TY FOR ENABLING ME HEHE ❤️ ofc i will tell u!!!! u could ask me for my credit card numbers and i'd give it 2 u.... 🥺 VDKCHS /J!!! BUT OKOK RAMBLE TIME 4 ME--

not to be dramatic but i remember the first time i saw hakuno so well..... i was scrolling thru instagram when i saw this fanart of sir gilbert gamesh with her (too lazy to search it up rn but it was him whispering sth to her and her laughing!) and no joke, my first thought was who is this mysmes mc looking girl- I WANT TO PUNCH MY PAST SELF SO HARD FOR THINKING THAT BTW. i had vvv limited of fate at the time and only watched the fate/zero anime but i knew gilgamesh is a hard person to get along with (putting it lightly) so i got intrigued at that point. i literally just looked thru her wiki tho ngl. it was when i read a transcript(?) of the fate/extra here and that's when i fell in so deep!!! literally read it all in one go aND BOYYYYY THE FRIKKIN ENDING MAN, THE ENDING!!!!! WHY DONT PPL TALK ABT IT MORE IT LEFT SUCH AN IMPRESSION ON MEEE I WAS IN SHAMBLES 😭😭 i wasn't even playing on getting into ccc but i was in Desperate Need of more hakuno content so.. i read it all the next day. and i loved it!! idk if i was full on Hakuno Luvr at that moment tho, but i liked her a lot 🥺 started actively looking for fanart and even read some fanfic of her too VSJFBSJFJJ (i proceed 2 realize that this is a hella long ramble that does not answer ur q) HMM I DON'T THINK THERE WAS A SPECIFIC MOMENT THAT WAS MY HAKUNO SIMP REALIZATION THO... i fell in love over time <3

but i will say, writing her def gave me a newfound appreciation for her!! i feel like i've 100% gotten a better understanding of her from writing her (tho that's also bc i do be writing her hc-based... ehe☆) and i feel like you could relate to this too tsunniepoo, which is how- you really come to appreciate them for what they Can be too, not just how they were in canon (US WITH YQ HAKUNO BOND TOO BTW 🥺🥺). rping her contributes to that too!!

WHAT I LIKE MOST ABT HER THO..... THATS A HELLA TOUGH QUESTION TSUN!!!! SGFJDHDH IT'D BE FASTER TO ASK ME WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABT HER NGL! skelly asked me this once too (before my thanos snap clean up 😳) and UUUUU THIS IS STILL SUCH A TOUGH Q!!!! i love her as a character so much..... she's so complex and unique, her character development is top notch and the way the cast and the story all play a role in it is just so -CHEF KISS- she is not a static character!!! so much development too, it makes me sad how extella pretty much forgets all of it 😭 but i'm gettin a lil sidetracked here!! i love her as a person toooo i love her personality!! she's so entertaining to follow, i love seeing how she responds to the situations she finds herself and i love!!! Her!!!! BUT IF FORCED 2 ANSWER...... i think my answer would be....

her heart 🥺 which you can really see in my portrayal, i hope!! her interactions with julius is one of my fav things in fate extra Ever, especially when the arena was all messed up and it was pretty much fuuuull of julius's hatred for hakuno but hakuno still kept going on and even tried to understand julius in spite of that!! i love how hakuno literally lost consciousness (even her servant got super worried!! it was That serious!!) just by being there but when she regains her consciousness, all she could focus on was julius's memory she'd just seen and how he seemed to be suffering. and then how the whole time she was just concerned abt julius.... says so much abt her character imo and i love it lots!!! really like how hakuno has been shown time and time again to knowingly risk herself for someone else's benefit and how a huuge thing in extra is always hakuno discovering those very compassionate and human values even when she starts out all hollow and empty :,)

the way she treats others and the morals and values she learns hits soo deep to me and personally really makes me feel some kinda way.. (a good way!) something something she was in a cruel and vicious environment and found out that her entire existence doesn't matter but still has a heart that's big enough to think of others and choose to hold onto kindness to the very end..... 😭😭❤️ veeery interesting too, because it's almost like a parallel to twice, who hakuno could've very much become if she didn't have a heart like hers! (that's a whole nother topic thooo <3) i feel like this trait of hers is soooo important, i really wish ppl noticed it more, it really sucks to not really see much (if not any) of it in extella </3 it's what makes her bonds and connections so realistic and unique imo, and that's my fav thing abt fate extra ;_; it's vvvv natural and not plot-contrived at all, really feels like two individuals developing a genuine bond. ofc it's not Just this character trait that makes me love hakuno...... there is sm to love abt her!!! there are many many little things that make hakuno hakuno that make me luvs her ❤️

Yo I've been really out of the loop with KH stuff but I took a look at some of the official localizations cause I was curious about the changes and NOW I'm curious if the community like raised an eyebrow at all at the whole 'world where unversed come from thing'??? The wording about it on Terra and Vanitas' files still make me go?? I wanna know if the theory people closed in on that cause I only barely speculate and I'm lowkey losing my mind that it wasn't a mistranslation actually

Omg ok so first off i read this like 3 times and went "wAIT WHAT DO U MEAN THEY MENTION AN UNVERSED WORLD" despite Terra's and Vanitas' stories being the ones i read the most (other than Repli's,,) so that tells u exactly how much info i retain from anything ever,

SECONDLY this is actually interesting to me and despite following quite a few kh theorists i have Not seen anyone even blink at this at all - tho i hadnt looked on twitter much when they first came out so i could be wrong. Either way, first time im hearing it so thanks for that n props for being the first to say anything abt it to my knowledge! Also wanna mention that i never actually read most of the chara files before the official translation (i think i read Repliku, Riku n Demyx n just. Never went to the rest) so by ur wording that was a thing even before this stuff was released??? How am i just now finding this out ,, BUT YEAH GETTING TO THE STUFF IN THE CHARACTER FILES BC IM VERY INTRIGUED.. i'll include whatever may or may not be relevant to this topic

From Terra's character file: "If the Realm of Darkness was what Aqua had fallen into, where was I? . . . Maybe that place wasn't even darkness, but the realm of nothingness. A realm with neither light nor darkness. . . I wasn't in the world of sleep, in a dream, but rather a world of nothing, and yet it existed. Because of this, pain, sadness, and hatred became nothingness and attacked me. . . Maybe this place resembled the world of the Unversed. A void that swallowed even sadness and pain. A world where hope and joy had never existed to begin with."

And from Vanitas': "Unversed--meaning ones who aren't well versed with life. What the heck does that actually mean? . . . This monster was both me and not me. . . I dont need to know which is light and which is darkness. Not just light, not just darkness. . . I came from the void and am returning to it. What's the void? It's neither darkness nor light, more like an abyss. Good night, Ventus."

... good god is there a lot to unpack here. Like a Lot a lot. Im gonna try to stay on topic here but no guarentees bc we are talking about Terra and Vanitas and the biggest coolest parallel tie thing that i never even thought about before, both between them and between two kh monsters that i didnt think would be linked and the relationships between different worlds and realms and nmmmmmmmm yeah im just gonna write down every observation i have from this sorry in advance for length

Ok. The most obvious connection between the two is both mentioning the void. This, according to what u pointed out and being backed up by Terra's observation, is or is similar to the world where Unversed originate, or where they reside. Now at first I thought that would be a weird thought bc like, dont the Unversed come from Vanitas?? But Vanitas talks about how he also came from that void, so the idea of it being the world of Unversed isnt out of the picture. But also, Vanitas is supposed to come from Darkness, right? Did Darkness come from this void as well? Or is it the void itself? But that would be weird, because the void isnt darkness nor light - and they make a point to say that mulitple times, which is interesting. What the fuck even is this void?

Thing is, the way they - especially Terra - talk about it (and bc i recently played thru kh2's ending again as if id somehow known it would come in handy) reminded me of this:

A place of neither dark nor light, an abyss, where emotions never existed, with creatures that embody nothingness. Plus the fact that Terra has ties to Xemnas, whom you fight here (was Terra here too, somewhere?). Theres gotta be a connection. I have no doubts about this. My only question would be just.. why?? With Unversed being the literal embodiments of emotions while Nobodies completely lack those, its kind of weird to think that their origins might be connected in some way. Or maybe not their origins, but theres.. something. We think of Heartless and Nobodies as counterparts, but Unversed might have bigger a place in there than we know. I might even argue that Nobodies and Unversed have a more distinct tie than the previous duo according to these files. Whether theyre also counterparts, polar opposites, or possibly even of similar nature..

Oh, on a related note, I included Vanitas' "both me and not me" quote for a number of reasons - one being the above. Im not saying the Unversed and Nobodies are actually the same thing (probably. Probably) but the way Terra described emotions turning into nothingness which then attacked him, adding on Unversed being described as those who arent well versed with life (which even Vanitas doesnt really understand, and those things come from him) like. Theres something here. The other reason i included the quote was i think it actually seems like a cool parallel to Terra, Xemnas, and Xehanort, which felt relevant enough to add here

Also noting the reason for why i included Vanitas' last line there, i couldnt help but be reminded of something from re:com:

I also think its interesting that Terra knows of the sleeping worlds, which makes me wonder if he ever had experience with them since hes aware that he isnt among those (outside of what he may know/remember from Xemnas..? Im not sure how strong their connection is)

But back to the Unversed world itself, why does Vanitas say hes going back to a place without darkness or light when hes supposed to Be Darkness (or part of it, at least)? Thats like one of the main things thats really getting me here. Is the void, the world of nothingness, where everything came from or came to be? Cuz if THE Darkness came from the place, its gotta go way back.

Ohhhhhh no im thinking way too much abt this but. A world of nothingness. It shouldnt exist, but it does. Yknow what else shouldnt and technically doesnt exist but somehow also does? Unreality. Fiction. Where MoM, who has been at war with Darkness (who has relation to Vanitas) for the past fuck knows how many centuries, was last seen. (Wheres that one pic of the dude with the corkboard going nuts thats exactly what i feel like rn.)

The void is related to nothingness, but are those related to the worlds of fiction? Do light and dark exist in unreality? If so, do they have the same relationship as within reality? Is any of this stuff related? I dont fucking know!!!!!!!!! Im going to lay facedown on my bed and contemplate this for the rest of my life

[gayspock]

also ohhh by the way vis a vis black sails i dont thinkive done asilly little check-in post in a while so :3

FIRDTLY i am enjoying it so f- OH GOOD HEAVENS....

TUMBLT DO NOT TURN MY POINTS INTO - oh fine. sniff. ythats sick though. that makes my thoughts look wayyyy too official i only even bop thrm with a dash bc theyre just disjointed silly little things, heavens above!

but firstly: yes well i am enjoying it!! I THINK... hm. it hasnt gripped me! THATS NOT IN A MEAN-MEAN WAY- i think its just you know, not making me obsessseeddddd, which is quite the shame. there's some really good fucking stuff in here, is the thing and some good fucking characters but i think, perhaps, my one issue with the show is... there's some really mediocre connective tissue? which- really isnt a horrific ISSUE its just kind of dragging it down a bit. and it's, like, mostly TOTALLY inconsequential stuff but it accumulates and i think, if there was some polishing and this thing was REALLY TIGHT, then god... god this would fuck so so fucking GOOD. and again thats not to say it doesnt- i am liking it so far, im just like well :3 an episode...

like, for example: there's certain characters i dont care much for. certain plot points i dont care much for. certain executions im very lukewarm on. and lots that i DO care for. i feel as if... if this were tighter somehow, i'd be more into it, but also im not SO sure what it is i would cut out ... like its just like. god if we got to FOCUS more on these specific things, i'd be obsessed- but also i dont know how that would work without compromise of other things i like. so im like hm hmm hmm. like- i called it connective tissue, yeah? bc that's what it is- like all the stuff.. that's fitting ALL the stuff together. ehhh. im like ehhh! youknow? EHH?

like i think flint is, perhaps, like the BEST example of like: i want to be so obsessed with you (ESPECIALLY what they're doing with him in S2!!! moves in the right direction) but still feel like... we don't get enough to bring it, bring it home. perhaps i just need to sit tight a bit longer- bc again this isnt the "oh, death sentence!" its just like a well uhm i would have to liked to have seen it now !

and i think one another issue is, that im having with the show, is sometimes help..... i'll admit: there's random side characters i lose track of. any older white guy? hell- any white guy that isnt one of the MAIN white guys ... he just kinda fades into the bg for me. andTHATS SOOOO a me thing. but also help. i want to be intrigued more by internal politics of nassau - i really do - but i do kind of... lose threads when guys show up and im like wuh huh.

WHICH, sspeaking of: as i said with flint, i like what theyre doing so far with him in s2! I REALLY like it. showing a bit more of his past- but also showing more of him... as a captain? and what it really means to have influence, and to command people and to have that authority over them.

which speaking of, speaking of: is funnily enough... ONE point of disappointment: dufresne. and i know there was some other issues (i saw abt his actor whilst reading up abt him :(... honestly such a fucking shame) so im conscientious of that,and i realise that must have affected SOME ofit... to the extent, i don't know if we know!? as in- dont know what the writers have said about that, and i dont know how much im comfortable speculating on what-ifs there BUT.... YEAH. SAD. i really liked him, i did- but mmmm. there was something so rushed about his "arc" and kind of a shame, you know? hell- i was so fucking into it, into this idea of HIM becoming the captain of all things and i dont say it was OOC but then the actual ... way it was executed and played out. maybe it WAS the replacement actor who dropped the ball with it, i dont know, but it was like... there was a lack of something, you know? because again- i dont think him stepping up could be OOC, that he WOULD act so drastically, that he had the moral compass to act like that and to respond to flint like that in the aftermath of what he went through. makes a hell of a lot of sense. BUT also i dontknow- it feels like.. it wasnt right, in its execution- i feel as if... there was a lack of that conflict within him played out. and it, again, could be actor issues- the new guy not delivering, or hell them intentionally scaling back on him bc they just wanted him to fade out more organically but hm... i dont know. either way the point is it felt... like they put out a good character, gave him a really good scene, and it just sort of flittered out? shame

and i SAY this bc. shite why was i SAYING this... bc it DID sort of set the stage for Flint, and for demonstrating him well, and.... i think THATS what some of the trouble is, sometimees? sometimes? characters used, and introduced solely to demonstrate another character- which is FINE, yknow, and things like that happen aaalllll the timeeee in media yes sireee but sometimes- you know, i dont know. it does have a certain inelegance, a certain clumsiness - because obviously ideally you arent just setting up characters to develop others, etc. butlike... mm. like in general there's, again, one or two one note guys floating about- which again WILL always happen, you know- but they'll get... a LOT of screen time for who they, because theyre obviously advancing the plot along in nature, and then its like oh well ehrm YAH?

the other guy tht comes to mind is uh. that unsavoury cunt from s1- you know... who i mean, i presume... who was unkind towards max. i dont remember his name- truthfully dont FEEL like giving him one. but its like: obviously, freaking god, i dont want him to have a sympathetic angle. when it comes to guys like that- i'd much prefer a one note guy, to some godawful attempt to build depth into him, bc if ur clumsy it just reads as whatever. like fucking hell. but STILL- it does leave him feeling (and i do wince at this word for him- sorry) a bit cartoonish, like... yeah. this dude fucking SUCKS! he walks out and he SUCKS! and he just does BAD SHIT! now he can DIE to cause us PROBLEMS. like that's- again its all well and good, but it does seem to also be happening with the new bloke being introduced THIS season. and so the issue is- you know... characters brought in for, like, purely functional purposes? or being turned into- like dufresne... it feels eh to me.

and again. its like i dont want the shitty guys to have a sympathetic spin on them and i'd rather them be just straight up cunts than them do a clumsy attempt at making them more. but i think- you know, that's why i LOVE what they did with dukat in deep space nine. like fucking hell. he had a lot of depth- but he was the fucking worst guy around. like they showed what shitty people REALLY are like, irl. they arent just guys who do bad shite for the sake of it. but theyre guys who actively choose to be the worst fucking people - and they convince themselves of it all, sooo hard - and there's no "oh, they did this bc THEY had to! no choice! they were raised wrong, etc.!" bc whilst those can be factors its like. at the end of the day? dukat thought himself better than others; dukat was selfish and power hungry and did not want to sacrifice his positions of power; and it lead to some godawful perceptions he had on the bajorans, and he treated them shittily because of that .... and itmakes no apologies about that. but it shows like his thought process, exactly this that and the other, and its fucking horrible. as it should be, bc thats what oppressors ARE irl. theyre not some guys lead down the wrong path... they DO actively choose to be like that, for their own gain, bc they value it more than the livelihoods of others and i think sooo often ppl try to make the worst fucking ppl sympathisable and its like. fucking come on man. idc.

anyways what was i saying. yes. my point is- you can GIVE shitty guys some depth, have them be characters, rather than vague antagonistic forces to work against and to advance issues within a story, yah? its possible! but idk- it feel slike black sails does just... fall into that problem sometimes, mmm. which is a shame! it is! bc like i said- god, i really do like a lot of the other stuff theyre laying out... but when u just. idk. theres a lot of mediocre ppl dumped into this story that idc for that much is all. anyways positivie s tho bc

i like anne a lot. like i do. i said the show doesnt drive me crazy cuckoo bananas- well its true, but when i see anne she does to me. its that moment of mmm. :3 the perfect little sweet spot thats ENTIRELY appealing to some specific personal tastes of mine so hiyyaaaa anne. bestie anne. you and your girlfriend and your.... eyebrow raise boyfriend. your pet little he/they for you to carry around in your purse. LIKE IM LOVING ALL OF THEM- jack, anne, and max... theyre my faves. my ride or dies.

other than them i loved gates so bad. i knew he was sort of doomed from the start- like his character.. YEAH. YOU COULD FUCKING TELL. so i just sort of held on there with him and got shocked nonetheless when he died. i also loved billy. no idea what theyre gonna do with him going forward- but im SO intent with it like ooey ooey... I HOPE they do well with him.

(though maybe thats another issue? i dont know- its like... theres a PACING thing going on here ad maybe it relates to the above. im not sure. its like ithink this works as being fast paced- but also it feels like its taking some weird slow moments and its like god i dont know. maybe its the rate im watching it at- or maybe its ME, bc i know i have problems with ehrm. time. in general - but i feel like i havent seen billy in fucking forever... that he's been unresolved for forever. which is weird. its been like half a season. but still eh. you know!??)

and who else. i said i liked flint- but i fucking LOVE thomas even more... nand yep. yep god. okay. god bless those fucking men i can so easily goinsane if we get to see more of them - it has to be said - and if they are going about things well enough of course.

and then eleanor? I THINK ITS ODD- I THINK... characters like her, in general? god i do like them- but i do feel as if my like for them is more of a: upon reflection, yes..... do you know what i mean? shiv and helly from succession are two that come to mind: girlbosses i cannot relate to on any sort of level, but when i step back from the work and get to really appreciate the decisions they made... yeah. loving it.

BUT: i dont know how i feel about her and max? i mean- look, im not a shippy guy in THAT sense you know... just eh. dont know how i feel- i know they were together and loved each other and liked their chemistry well enough, but we're obviously seeing the unfortunate side of their relationship here. so im like lukewarm - potentially turned off a little? which - i dont say that in a... OK. thing is: i dont really care for it, ever, when a character is SO dedicated and lovestruck by another but we dont really get to see A LOT of why that is. and i get why that is some with max and eleanor- we see bits of it! but also again we are seeing a LOT of the unfortunate side and so its like... eh. you know. WHAT they were to each other god thats so sweet- but the story we're getting now is the sadder partofthat.

and . what did i say: OH I SAID TURNED OFF BY IT. YES . WELL. to elaborate more- bc im obviously not like... turned off by two ppl not being together any more its not thatits the. ok we have to bring him up. fuckin charles. mixed feelings on the cunt. bc him and max had a little exchange just now like goddd we're so in love with that girl- and its like with them both im just like . i dontknow. i dont care for it, sometimes? MAYBE ITS IKE- im not... obsessed with romantic plotlines, or at least not ones where the romantic foot is put before the other one. i love stories wherein romance emerges between the characters. but if the driving factor is: oh these guys are in LOVE! we're both so blindly in love with ealanor. full stop it doesnt do much for me. shruggie shrug. and i think theres enough surrounding max and eleanor that its not LIKE that- but itdoes sometimes give me a bit of an ehhh whatever cmon keep it moving girlies....

but yeah. freakin charles. i ahve my finger on him- bc i think he IS the more "antagonisitic" freak with some depth to him, that could have frankly been used this entire time rather than introducing new ones for like the purposes of the story... but its like idk. again with the introducingnew guys- i suppose they did that, in a way to sort of soften his presence which. againjust makes me eh? bc like-i did not like his behaviour towards eleanor to begin with and i certainly did not fucking like what he did to max. bc yes theyre all god damn pirates; yes theyre fucking horrible and yes theyre operating within a system that perpetuates that horrific nature, makes it all feed into each other... but yeah, its p obvious when youre being a bit of a fucking CUNT even within the space you're put in babygirl. m. and its like- i have a cerain OWRRY with him... that they're going to try and sympathise with him more which. im not saying they CANT do- that they cant od redemption arcs with guys that have done what they did- but it does make me nervous a little. i do like his character, though, with some reservations there- like... i do think that he is a guy written well thus far its just. a tipping point thats VERY very delicate and yah. make him go through the fucking ringe.r then we will see.

anyway do i have any other thoughts god i dont know

im just finished s2e4. its odd. i thought there were so many mre episodes- why did i convince myself there was seven fucking seasons of 24 each? thats half the reason why i put it off so long- nutno girl help...

anyways maybe it will send me crazy insane more as i go forward. it DOES have the potential to for suresies! :3 but also idk. im thinking abt what to watch next? yah.... smile.

[ruby-whistler]

info taken from the research conducted by @/tower-of-deceit, all recorded responses were and remain anonymous. just some psychoanalysis of the fandom’s opinion on c!dream, since i ran through all the answers to one specific question and picked up some interesting patterns. (link to original post) /dsmp /rp

people who don't like c!dream have said these things about c!dream enthusiasts in the survey (enthusiasts being apologists, sympathizers, and enjoyers, they didn't use these terms but it was easy to sort either way). picked up some rough stats and intriguing responses based on reading every single entry on the sheet.

90% "enjoyers are ok, apologists aren't"

3% "enjoyers are ok, sympathizers and apologists aren't"

2% "don't care, to each their own"

2% "i don't understand c!dream sympathizers"

2% "i like sympathizers' analyses"

1% "apologists are ok"

that three percent interestingly enough seems to display a rather large bias.“He was always a villain … claiming that characters like Wilbur and Tommy made him a villain … It's these people I can't stand.” "the second you say he's misunderstood or the real victim or that wilbur...is the real manipulator..." this is very biased and not based on objective evidence. c!wil's not ‘the real manipulator’ whatever that is, but he did manipulate c!dream into becoming a villain, (courtesy of cc!wilbur being a genius writer and actor) setting the trend for how c!dream would act later on. another person said. "people who excuse his actions or try to say that the others ‘turned him into’ a villain are where it crosses a line." there is evidence c!dream was in fact turned into a villain. he was a misunderstood good guy shifting towards morally grey up until the 16th when he snapped full villain mode. this fall from grace was in no way his own choice, and he was villainized for long beforehand. 

it is interesting to me that people deny proof because they feel such strong negative emotion against this character. "i respect their opinions as long as they dont sympathize w him or think he's morally correct." is another one of the clear anti-sympathizer anti-apologist ones. "why though? he has no backstory ... he wants power and complete control and there are no established plot reasons for him to want [one big happy family]." "theres a lot of mystery surrounding him and i can see how it would be fun to theorize abt him and stuff. but i dont trust sympathizers lol" people are strongly misinformed about c!dream, either unintentionally or intentionally, which i find interesting. 

“if you unironically call yourself a dream apologist / sympathiser??? get well soon” "if you like him bc u think he can be redeemed/he's not a bad person ... get help" “that’s fine lol but also are you okay ?? do u need someone to talk to ???? is everything alright ????” honestly, all of the people saying c!dream sympathizers need help reminds me of jawsh’s statement that all stans are mentally ill. that’s an (insensitive) insult, not an argument.

"I strongly encourage those who like him to get some therapy" i actually was at my therapist's yesterday and she said liking fictional characters is a-ok. your point?

most of the people who are confused honestly just don't seem to have the information about the character's actual arc, which i think says a lot about the fandom. "i am confused, he's almost irredeemably evil" "I don’t really know why you’d like c!Dream ... he’s not exactly meant to be super sympathetic" "I’m confused by people who see him as sympathetic. He’s only ever done people wrong and doesn’t regret any of it." “I wish they had more of his reasoning to base their sympathy on” “I simply dislike the debates on morality, whos good or bad, where the question often is ‘is dream really that bad?’ Or ‘could there be a way he is justified in this?’ and the sympathy to him where he clearly shouldnt get any.” “????? I would say its because hes a jerk but people who really like him dont really seem to think of him as a jerk so im really not sure” so many people have no idea about the actual character or the enthusiasts’ reasoning, it’s honestly kind of sad.

reponses like “they’re wrong” and “they’re crazy” genuinely cracked me up the first time i read them, sure buddy-

either way, you’re allowed to feel uncomfortable around or dislike c!dream. it’s just the harassment c!dream enthusiasts face (proven by this research) and well, it does grind my gears a little when well-written characters get misunderstood, i must admit.

either way, have a nice day,

- ruby

i finally found some time to answer u properly !! 😅 why does it always take me like 5 days alfjalfhwl

omg !! did ur album arrive alr? :O mine shipped but all it says is: arriving by december 10 so my guess is it'll get here then :")

oohhh 😳😳😳 my new smau is like .. its ... it has fake dating... and its a uni au..and i am incapable of writing summaries bc i always want to spoil everything lmao 😅

im always thankful that you're so supportive of my works, truly 🥺 esp the ateez smau ! i'll prob b posting more when im done w finals

THE WORLD TOUR AHHHHH i can't believe they're having it !! i'm so excited to see what they perform ! also ateez comeback soon?!?! it was so sudden i thought i was seeing something wrong 😭 but omg u had tickets from 2020??? (but i agree :( i see so many artists having concerts but crowds... and covid...🥲)

PLEASE 😭 i loved ur fic sm i think abt it constantly 😊

i haven't seen hellbound ! i've heard some things abt it, but im not sure if i wanna watch 🤔 did u watch it then?

oof i actually have no idea which tbz series are where 💀 but i have seen that it keeps getting taken down :( wish we could just have the content

yes omg i love the maverick series so much ! it was so fun to watch :D did u watch both eps?

akfhaldskjf thats a v good question 😬 for me, i usually only write for my ult groups so like (atz, tbz, txt, skz) and i find it easier to write for my biases or bias wreckers which is kinda unfair when i only have fics/series for specific members but it just feels more natural (?) to write about them? idk man

wbu??? how do u decide which members to write abt? & is there a group you haven't written abt that u want to?

oohh !! i saw that too ! i think it was kev? but now im so excited to see what they end up performing ! DRINK IT SUPREMACY I LOVE THAT SONG 😍 also saw that hyunjae said he'll do a vlive w sunwoo after the fancon 👀

i think it would b so cool if they did like a movie version where it was just story 👀

i always feel like tbz's promo periods are way shorter than other groups :( maybe they are idk but i also really really want them to rest

wbu? do u like the shorter promo periods?

(also i do love the sea of hyunjae on ur blog 😍)

hope ur taking care of yourself !! sending u lots of love ❤❤❤

OK OK SO U PULLED SUNWOO BUT who else!!! i got jacob id card and poster, eric qr code thingy, then for pcs: sangyeon <3333, kevin, and the bbangnyu for the unit one!! vaguely surprised there's no jumil in any form but my luck has never been great :') wbu!!!

ooOOH fake dating?? 😍 but omg the way you said anyone could be endgame.... are u gonna pull a massive plot twist on us hmmm 👀 OK BUT when y/n said "a whole hour before your wakeup time" to kyu I FELT THAT 🤡🤡🤡 y/n working at a museum tho that's so interesting :O ok u know what i'll just save the feedback for ur inbox instead LMAO

omg both the ateez comeback and world tour dates are rushed HAHA what is kq doing.... i'm still on the fence about going to the concert tho ugH 😭 but thoughts on turbulence?!?? such a pretty but sad mv tho :')

i watched hellbound bc the concept was intriguing, like people are being summoned to hell via these supernatural beings? i expected the characters to investigate everything that was going on but there was a focus on violence without actually solving anything 😭 maybe bc netflix wants to drag it out into s2 tho idkk

ohh for tbz shows i've been using this spreadsheet!! omg bless those admins 🥺 not sure if dnd is still up bc they were saying it was taken down but timeout works!! and YEAHH loved the maverick series it was so much fun, i wish it was longer LOL

oooh i agree it's definitely easier and more natural to write about ur biases or bias wreckers!! although i barely have anything for sangyeon yet oops i sometimes come up with a plot first then figure out which member fits the role best but other times i start with the member then build the plot. hmm as for groups i wanna write for, i was thinking maybe golcha or skz!! maybe when my tbz obsession dies down a little HAHA

OH YEAH the fancon!! hyunjae and younghoon's new hair colours 😍 did u see all the fancams and stuff?! they're so cute i'm glad they got to see fans again ♥ no drink it but we got kingdom come omggg 😭😭😭 actually feel like there's a good chance they'll do kingdom come for year end award shows 👀

hmm i think it's just become a trend to do really short promo periods now? deffs see it in other groups too at least compared to second gen, but i feel like tbz has a short teaser period too LOL. i do think it's a little too short but they're always so busy with other stuff so :')

(we don't speak of the hyunjae there is too much hyunjae on here how did this even happen omg)

but yeahh hope ur doing well!! esp if exam season is coming up for u 😭 stay healthy, don't stress too much <33
