every time someone calls moirallegience just an alien qpr i wilt a lil like YEAH thats more or less the CLOSEST human thing but its also Literally Not That. like a qpr is fundanmentally not romantic and thats not even going into moirails whole Actual Purpose of calming ppl down. its just. aughhhhh pisses me off i see the confusion but, as aformentioned, aughhhhh

OH MY GOD THIS HAS BEEN BOTHERING ME TOO.... but i don't want to get petty at the people in my notes always saying "moirails are QPRs!" because in some ways that is the closest human thing so it's hard to be mad...

i think there's definitely some overlap in some ways. but NOT because moirallegiance and qprs are the same at all really, but INSTEAD because both relationships have unconventional boundaries defined by the people within them.

you know... like every relationship.

like the only reason the two have overlap is because they are both partnerships that emotionally care for each other but can choose to not bang (which is true for any romance anyway, even if it's considered abnormal). they're both just romances* that are unconventional to human norms, which makes people view them as the same thing when they're not.

i think the REAL issue here is that humans insist on using human words to understand things that are just, fundamentally, alien. can't we just appreciate alien romance for being... alien romance?

no, it's not platonic, it's romantic. it's just romantic in a way you aren't quite wired to understand, is all.

*in generalization, most QPRs are not romantic, because they are made up of aroaces who are life partners in a non-romantic way. however i want to disagree with you that none of them are romantic, because that is up to the partners in question.

i’m going to be honest: the whole thing about the best straight ships being when the man is a watered down gomez addams and the woman is a generic girlboss is boring. i’m not going to turn this into a “it’s okay to like m/f pairings” this isn’t that. i just think making things generic is not fun. i need them to drive each other crazy.

taipril day 8!

i'm not sure why i thought doing this would be quicker than just doing a regular doodle BUT whatever. it's not totally done, but enough for me to post - i want to refine it at a later time!

[ohbo-ohno]

speaking of recommendations, what are your fav books with puppy play in them?

omg yeah!! the thing about puppy play is that it's not like, a super common kink, and i think the idea of being treated like a dog squicks people out enough that they react negatively before giving it a chance, so i don't have a tonnn of recs but i'm more than happy to share some of my faves!!

also if you have recs that aren't in this list, please GOD send them to me

i'll do these in order of like, most puppy play :)

King by T.M. Frazier - no actual puppy play, but the FMC wakes up with complete amnesia and the MMC names her "pup", which reallyyyy worked for me. There's a kinda 24/7 D/s thing going on, and I overall really enjoyed the dynamic between the two characters

Fight Me Daddy by Skylar Snow - i actually really enjoyed the overall dynamic of these two! the puppy play is definitely Present, but all the heavier kink scenes are fade to black. despite what the title would suggest, there isn't much daddy kink here

His Captive Pet and Protecting His Pet by Measha Stone - nonconsensual puppy play and kink life in general. these ones are pretty intense, and the FMCs are actively distressed by the fact that their consent is ignored. but the puppy play here is realllyyyy heavy - full on living in kennels, sleeping in dog beds, being walked on leashes, all of that. but they're also very dark books, so keep that in mind

Taken by Felicity Brandon - honestly super similar to dlmliyh. the kink here is also nonconsensual, and the puppy play is very much a Lifestyle kink and not just a during sex kink

Continuing from this post:

Bud doesn’t handle seeing Dusknoir very well at first.

Don’t worry, she warms up to him eventually.

I have a million thoughts about the new episode, but I’m dying over the implication that Luz has a reputation for being completely feral.

Like, they waited to rescue her until they had Eda already rescued and physically there to calm her down (even though it took them hours to do so when they could have in theory gotten them both at the same time).

When they did rescue her, nobody was actually standing at the door or in that general area and the closest people to her (Darius and Eber) were hiding on top of the cart where she couldn’t see them.

Darius (and this is the kicker) then asks her not to bite someone despite the fact Eda has already calmed her down.

Conclusion: a trio of the most powerful witches on the Boiling Isles (plus half a dozen other powerful witches) were still nervous about dealing with an angry Luz despite the fact she was magicless and in chains at the time and I love that for her.

Jonathan 'Jarchivist' Sims and Annabeth Chase would be best friends.

I stand by that.

[basilpaste]

hey hey do yall want my incoherent classpect rambles for the isat cast that i wrote while half asleep at 2 am?? too late!!!

odile is a heart player. 'oh but basil!! shouldnt she be a mind player or something?' no. the core of her character is her identity and lack thereof. shes intelligent and strong willed and has an innate understanding of many things. she cares for others deeply in a way she keeps close to her chest. mage of heart? she understands people but feels separate from them. i think her repeatedly almost clocking siffrin is also something that feels right for a mage of heart. despite sharing a classpect with meulin, shes less of a leijon heart player and more of a dirk one. if that makes sense.

mira is a maid of hope. this is an easy one. she could also be breath, i also see breath, because… change. but her character is so tied to the idea of hope that its gotta be. other peoples hope for her, the pressure she puts on herself because of that, that stuff. shes a maid not just for the housemaiden thing but because maids are 'fixers'. it ties nicely into her quest to save her home and also the fact that shes the only one who can. i also think her lack of belief in herself is a very 'hope' thing. jake is a pretty prime example of a hope player who doesnt hold hope for themself as much as for others.

i!!!! like mind player isabeau!!!! i think odile heart and isa mind is very good!!! im thinking heir of mind isa. heirs are passive which works well with isa being the character who gives the team the most buffs! heir of mind reads 'im going to weaken my enemies and bring up my team' to me. hes a smart guy. he knows hes smart. even when he lets people walk all over his intelligence. hes shockingly bad at handling his own emotions despite being good with other peoples. hes a loyal and trusting guy who often finds himself lost within the gap between who he is and who hes perceived as.

bonnies a range player. thumbs up. anger and fear are their driving forces for a lot of the game. theyre deeply emotional at the best of times. theyre a kid with a lot on their plate. this makes sense. i kind of like rogue of rage for them? their feelings tend to instill emotion within the rest of the party. even the idea of them being hurt drives a protectiveness in the adults. in the same way, they can steal away peoples emotion and mellow them out by being the most emotional person in the room.

also i like the symmetry of two aspect pairs with sif being alone. which leads me to:

sif is a time player. an argument could be made for him being a space player. but they are a time player because of the fucking. time loops they manifested for themself. sifs a knight. hes a knight of time. yes like dave strider but also because they are. every action they take is for their family. the time loop they stick themself in is because he wants to continue to be with them. knights serve. they push away their own thoughts and feelings for the sake of protecting those they feel an obligation towards. get back to the stage, siffrin.

loop is also a knight of time! hope this helps!! but theyre an arguably less stable knight? their influence in the story is mostly from the sidelines. they dont have control over anything anymore. they watch as the same thing happens over and over and over again. i think that seeing that and knowing that you not only caused it but you cant directly do anything to stop it is the worst punishment a knight could possibly receive.

Tumblr is showing me the Er*ri ship from Attack on Titan and it’s so funny BECAUSE PLEASE.

AS IF I DIDN’T SUFFER ENOUGH IN THAT FANDOM AS SOMEONE THAT DIDN’T SHIP IT AND WAS EATEN ALIVE FOR SUCH SO-CALLED HERESY! YOU CAN’T HAUNT ME TUMBLR. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN TO HELL AND BACK. I REMEMBER THE DARK DAYS. I REMEMBER THE WIKI WARS OF ‘19 AND THE RACE TO TRANSLATE RECENTLY RELEASED SUB EPISODES TO GET SHIPPERS OFF MY BACK WHO WERE TRYING TO TELL ME I WAS DELUSIONAL FOR NOT THINKING THE DYNAMIC WAS ROMANTIC. I REMEMBER THE NUANCED INTERVIEW DEBATES, I REMEMBER THE OVA VS MANGA CANON CONTROVE—*gunshots*

Anyway, I’m not tormented by the past, wdym.

a french SMM player finally beat the illegitimately-uploaded "final" level (but disqualified once it was revealed by the creator to have been uploaded via TAS) of super mario maker yesterday (twitter clip and twitch), meaning there's no doubt now that team 0% reached their goal of clearing every single non-hacked level upload in the entire SMM1 game
