#which way is down on the core

[spiribia]

ok slight revamp to my core named Bug. they're meant to be a multitool but because their system is bugged they usually only end up deploying an inflatable thumbs up balloon no matter how inappropriate it is for the situation. on very rare occasions sometimes when they mean to deploy the thumbs up balloon they accidentally hold out the jackknife instead.

Very normal about this Belle/Beast parallel in particular:

I came to fight for Belle.

And though I am on my own, I will fight.

I won’t leave without her.

That’s why I’m here.

There's always a danger of caring too much about a story, and then getting paralyzed by the need to do it justice, so it never gets written.

I've solved this problem in the past by writing stories so fast that I don't have time to get too invested, or writing stories that I'm not that attached to.

But maybe the trick is to love the story so much that I want to share it any way I can, even if it's imperfect. To feel that any version of this story is better than the story never getting written at all. To get out of my own way and stop worrying about what other people will think of my writing, or even what I think of my writing, and love the story for its own sake, love the readers enough to want to have the joy of sharing the story with them.

Maybe it'll work. Maybe it won't. But so far it feels like a much better approach.

found out while putting together matthias's oc page that his name has the exact same etymology and meaning as theo's name...

i’m sure this is information matthias is very normal about…

GOD i am trying so fucking hard not to read into the fact that tom repressed the shit out of how he actually felt when he learned he probably won’t go to jail and then when he went to greg, he could. express it. you know. he could be himself. i really hate so much what i read into it BECAUSE I SHOULDN’T BC I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS LATER AND I SHOULDN’T TRUST THIS SHIT BUT ARHJARHA HOW CAN I NOT WHEN HE’S REPRESSED ASF PER USUAL BUT THE MOMENT HE GOES TO GREG OR IS ALONE WITH GREG HE EXPRESSES HIMSELF FULLY, HIS RAGE, PAIN, [MANIC] HAPPINESS, AFFECTION. I HATE THIS SO MUCH. AND GREG IS IN THE CORNER COWERING BC HE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND THAT THE REASON TOM ACTS THIS WAY AROUND HIM IS. no. i Refuse to read That into it. but yall get what i’m saying right. 

AND THEN THIS

how is ayato treated as the more important sibling when hes the regular butt of everyone's joke daily? ayaka gets wayyy better treatment than him

Ayato is the more common fan favorite of a sibling - regardless if he's the butt of any jokes, EVERYTHING in the Inazuman archon quests were of Ayaka's doing yet I constantly see her side stepped and Ayato treated as if he holds far more power than her being the technical head of the household, despite both of them being important political figures both with their own influences. Every other character in this game is the butt of some sort of joke but the bottom line was that I see immense dick riding and glorification of his existence, when his story quest was boiled down to being about everybody but him and he had genuine zero purpose in the general story aside from being the leader of the Shuumatsuban, which is a role Ayaka just as well could fufil. The point is I see far more Ayato fans and glorification, when the most I see of Ayaka nine times out of ten is either gross Aether harem content, or forehead jokes.

As to Ayaka's characterization I cannot fucking comprehend how. Wrong, that feels? Never once does she say "why won't people be my friends :(" she says that she understands her position of power and idolization is an important one and an isolating one where she HAS relationships but she feels nothing can be a REAL friendship like any other person could have because it will ALWAYS boil down to her status as a political figure, and she desperately wanted to befriend the traveler because they were the one person as an outlander she could be a real friend with and not connect it back to her status. She understands why she cannot have many friends and it is a sorrow she internalizes and wishes to share with the ONE person who she can.

Hey you know who else is a male character who understand and laments that they have near zero personal relationships disconnected to their status, role, or inherent life burden, that lament about this to the Traveler and consider them their only true friend they could ever confide in due to the nature of Traveler's existence, and would drop anything and everything to the Traveler's whim because they value them so much?

Xiao.

There's no male character that goes "w-w-w-w-w-why is nobody my friend :(" and neither is there a female one, because Ayaka does not ask why she has no friends, she's fucking lonely because she understands she cannot have many. I want to be really mean nonnie but I just. It feels a bit like you're proving the point of the whole post - which was Ayaka, along with these other two, being boiled down to underappreciated mischaracterizations when the men who play similar or lesser roles are far more glorified.

avoiding posting too many spoilers but i need you guys to know that while, yes i AM still tinfoil hatting about my verse, movie mike would probably kick game mike's ass lmao-

[moonsidesong]

i'd love to refresh my memory on puyo and get back into the series more properly like i was in 2019-2020 but to be honest its also an incredibly exhausting series to get into just because of how scattered and strange its history is.... everyones always like "oh madou was so much better because it had more lore" but theres like a billion different versions of the lore and large chunks of it are still(?) untranslated and nobody can agree on which one is the real one

[dykethevvitch]

god i have so many disjointed mechs hcs and thoughts. ask me about themes and tropes

i’m not like other girls, my “Rest” stats are a heart rate of 110bpm and a HRV of 14 fucking milliseconds. :)

[covenofthearticulate]

No offense but nothing has been more heartbreaking than hearing Jacob Anderson describe Louis as “He’s human. The most human vampire of them all.” and then immediately put his head in his hand and say “Rolin’s gonna be so mad at me, he’s a vampire, not a human.”

“To allow yourself to play with another person is no small risk. It means allowing yourself to be open, to be exposed, to be hurt. It is the human equivalent of the dog rolling on its back---I know you won't hurt me, even though you can. It is the dog putting its mouth around your hand and never biting down. To play requires trust and love. Many years later, as Sam would controversially say in an interview with the gaming website Kotaku, "There is no more intimate act than play, even sex." The internet responded: no one who had had good sex would ever say that, and there must be something seriously wrong with Sam.”

first time they meet. Technically. not really

[iiguess]

HEADCANON. I think, in Sam's mind? She'd be a very difficult person to love in a romantic sense.

With her mom and dad's relationship as a basis ( as well as everything that happened to her in the P5 verse ), she'd be incredibly guarded when it comes to the idea of dating someone. Serious, too. She wouldn't want to date someone who sees dating as just a fun past time ( like her father, who wound up flirting with other women even after his marriage ).

But I do imagine she'd hold some self-awareness regarding how she views relationships and dating in general. What kind of teenager thinks like her, anyways? Don't teens just date for fun and stuff? Isn't she being a little too much of a stiff, thinking like this?

That's why—-should anyone ask her if she could see herself dating in the future? She'd say no ( even if she wished it was the opposite ).
