Continuing the lambo and tsuna discussion:
Oh yeah tsuna absolutely would be a hypocrite and it would be so intersting to see them having a serious fight over it.
Especially bc, tsuna ALREADY as a 13/14 year old doesnt wanna be involved in fights and the like, he just wants to be a fucking teen please leave me alone, but when he's older hes probably even MORE terrified of what they've been through as kids. As a teen when he saw 15 yo lambo he was like "oh yeah he can handle this... Maybe... Probably... Perhaps???"
But the older you get the more you realise what a fucking dystopian nightmare it is to believe fucking teenagers could be in a war, no matter how powerful they end up being or how successful! Most of the shounen protags are AT LEAST in Highschool, Tsuna is a FIRST YEAR IN MIDDLESCHOOL, BABY GOT BARELY OUT OF HIS TWEENS
So while yeah its hypocritical tsuna also has the experience and hindsight now to realize NAH UH NO NO NO NOT HAPPENING NOPE THAT IS A FETUS
Not that Lambo would ever accept that bc yeah its his big brother and (idk how common this is i am an only child and never had friends with siblings) its (maybe) common for kids to look up to their older siblings in a way especially when they are far older and tsuna has done some really amazing stuff. He just doesnt get the whole "too young" for the fight thing, especially bc his background is already mafia related and the Bovino let this 5 YEAR OLD run around with GRANADES AND ROCKET LAUNCHERS.
Child safety? Dont know her - Old Bovino motto
No but srsly i just think tsuna is the very first person that actually brings up this concept in lambos life. Even Nana never sees whats going on around her as any kind of dangerous, even kids his age are nonchalant about it, fucking yamamoto may see a kid in him but he rolls with almost anything, gokudera just shows him disdain which is not exactly concern (in the beginning)
So its JUST Tsuna that looks at this five year old and says "Absolutely fucking not"
I mean technically also Haru but i dont think he registers that bc she just generally coddles the babies.
So Tsuna, his big brother, the one he looks up to the most, does not acknowledge him as a fighter. And while lambo doesnt see Tsuna as his boss, I do think when he grows older it WILL become more and more of an issue between both of them.
I know i basically just rephrased and repeated a lot of what you said in your post but also I HAVE SO MANY EMOTIONS
OMG NO DONT EVEN WORRY I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT LAMBO AND TSUNA <3 <3 <3
A real fight about this topic between Lambo and Tsuna would actually be so interesting though, you're so right. In this case, Tsuna cannot be reasoned with. As you mentioned, the older he gets the more he will look at being 15 years old as being a FETUS. His stress already just skyrockets whenever Lambo is ANYWHERE near the battlefield, he becomes absolutely belligerent (Shimon arc, future, and letting himself get disqualified in Varia) Tsuna is definitely the one most protective of Lambo, though Gokudera is a good second place even Gokudera doesn't realize that is a child though tbf in a world where the strongest are infants I do not blame Gokudera for not blinking an eye.
Child safety, don't know her ksJNGKJNSGE NO FR THOUGH. TSUNA IS THE ONLY ONE LIKE "please for gods sake stay at home my god please please" Its even funnier when you consider the only reason he trusts TYL I-Pin to protect anyone is bc she becomes 1 year older than him through the bazooka. SKJNG this is why TYL Lambo is also called Adult Lambo in his head. But yes, this idea would ABSOLUTELY disintegrate the moment my boy tsuna leaves his teen ages. I think the idea that this will be an area of tension for Lambo and Tsuna is so cool, because oh my god!! Lambo wants to be there. Despite his age, he is rightfully Vongola's Guardian of Lightning and he wants to hurry up and catch up!! Especially when you take into account of what I said about 20yl, like that's a Lambo that loses everyone!!!! Imagine the absolute stress on Lambo's brain when these thoughts flourish in his mind, and then he's got his big brother who would see him in a training room and go "WHAT ARE U DOING HERE. GET OUT?????? DO NOT TOUCH THE POINTY SPEAR THAT IS CHROMES" It's such absolute tasty content and I am more than happy to oblige with the Tsuna/Lambo thoughts. They're so important to me <3

(Ultimate X-Men, issue #11)
yall think if i say Nuh Uh enough times it’ll make them be niceys to eachother
god fucking damn this comic has me in a chokehold. actually. i wanna put IT in a chokehold. also some extra context for vics little ‘i hate u’ speech -> the previous issue literally has someone hes working for call him ‘poor mans wolverine’ so i dont think he formed that opinion on his own. i think it came from always being 2nd in weapon x after wolverine showed up, despite being the only one who actually signed up for it. no matter how much he killed and tried to prove himself, they always still prefered wolverine. he went from being the best by just being himself, to now having someone who could replace him. replace his comfort, replace his worth. like most sabretooths, i assume this one also had to constantly fight to be worth something, having the need to be worth something, anything, in others eyes. he found a place where he was able to show what everyone says hes good at, the only place where hes really allowed to do so, a place where everyone there says he belongs(even if its in a degrading way), and now that role gets taken by someone else. even if theyre literally torturing wolverine more, sabretooth sees it as them giving him more attention. hes no longer special. the things that alienate him arent special anymore, now theyre back to just being bad. unworthy.
wolverine didnt do anything to make sabretooth hate him, he just hates him out of jealousy and fear. and he doesnt really even hate him, he just hates the attention he gets. victor needs to be better or else hes not useful anymore.
for some reason in my last post about this series, i neglected to include this bit here⤵️
Tumblr media
hes been so affected by the need for weapon x’s approval, to be the best at being the worst, that hes convinced he cant exist anywhere else. theyre only good as weapons, they cant be anything else, theyre living trash.
and yet, hes terrified of being thrown out.
and i think hes also scared to recognize that hes an individual as well.
its either be all the things that society hates about him and not have to worry about it, while being at a place that he has a warped sense of ‘belonging’, or have to actually fight for himself. he’d rather fight society than fight against society. cuz then its the world against him, rather than him against the world.

It'll Work Out
Tumblr media
Summary: When Gail Force, a producing duo, gets asked to join HYBE and work with a boy group under their company, they did not think that they would be meeting their Fated Mates. 
Pledis had been bought by HYBE, and Seventeen now needs more producers.
Disclaimers: Hi! Just a few disclaimers, this is a Seventeen A/B/O AU, and there will be smut at some point in the story. This is technically an OC fic but you are more than welcome to read as Y/N. This is something that I and my best friend are coming up with together. I don't have a set posting schedule yet so bear with me.
This is just some background on ABO
Tumblr media
Background info
ALL SECOND GENDERS CAN MARK
Alphas: Mostly male, female alphas are rare but can happen, most alphas show signs around the time they are going through puberty, alphas most of the time get their second gender first. Commonly the most territorial of the typings and are commonly (but not always) the most dominant. They exhibit knots and go into ruts.
Behaviors: heavy scenting of others, does not like scent blockers that cant be washed off, very observant, stubborn, will not change mind especially if they think it is the best for the pack or someone in the pack, crave physical affection, not just sexual. socially (and in some interpretations, even biologically) dominant, physically built, short-tempered and a natural leader. Alpha voice is something that all alphas have, is meant to be use to calm stressed pack members but some alphas use it to trap inmate omegas as rut partners (this is a crime)
Pack Alpha: Leader of the pack, does not always have to the the oldest, takes care of everyone in the pack, in the protector of the pack, is the most possessive of alphas, they are the first line of contact for safety reasons. Pack Alphas can use their alpha voice on other pack members even if they are alphas as well.
Knot / Knotting: A bulge of muscles at the base of a cock that swells either when erect or before orgasm, often to keep both individuals from separating during and after ejaculation to ensure conception. A knot will last anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour.
Rut / Rutting: A period of 3-5 days where an Alphas will act more possessive and territorial than normal, but not specifically in need of mating with someone. Normally, rutting periods are more common after being mated, as part of a biological cycle to protect said mate.
Betas: Most similar to Humans, the majority of people are betas, can have heats or ruts based on if mate is also in heat or a rut but doesn't happen every time. Does not have a knot but can still impregnate female betas and omegas, does not have an underlining temperament but can mold depending on their mate's second gender. Easiest to be around as an omega or an alpha, every pack has a pack beta, betas have both Alpha and Omega genes but they are dormant and are the reason that they can switch roles of mates. They are able to detect scents and are able to scent others, but they do not possess all the anatomical or biological parts of either an Omega or Alpha.
Pack Beta: The beta is charged when the alphas of the pack are not around or able to lead.
Omegas: Mostly female, male omegas are rare, heats are every 6 months starting after the period. Most likely to get pregnant during a heat but can get pregnant out of them.
Behaviors: Nesting, most of the time likes to have packmantes scent on them. Can be seen as needy especially near heats. Craves physical affection, will cry, will pout if doesnt get way, are naturally submissive but can and will stand stand their ground
Heat: A period of 3-5 days about every 6 months where an Omega-identified individual will experience sexual excitability and have an increase in fertility. This often comes in tandem with a large release of pheromones to communicate the biological shift to others. Sometimes can trigger ruts in Alphas and Betas especially in Fated Mates.
Slick: Is a clear substance that is self-lubrication that Omegas experience, specifically during their heat.
Nest / Nesting: A structure that Omegas build, most commonly during heat and while pregnant. It can vary in appearance, but serves a calming purpose and dates back when a nest was required to keep an omega-identified individual safe during heat and pregnancy, as it was often built specifically to be hidden. Some still consider nest-building to be part of an omega-identified individual’s courtship or heat cycle process. M
Scent Blocker: Can come in patch, roll-on or pill form. Is policy to be worn in federal buildings, hospitals, High and Middle school. Most alphas do not like scent blockers as it makes it hard for them to smell if pack members are in distress or upset, however they do understand that it is required in some places. It is common courtesy to wear stent blockers in crowded enclosed places, like airplanes.
Scenting: Alphas, Omegas, and Betas all give off a very specific sort of scent as a personal marker to their primary and secondary sex. They all have the ability to scent others, which is simply the process of spreading their specific scent on another person or object (often by physically rubbing against them).

i dont think you ever posted about your "jon sees elias as jonah when he takes the archivist job" au but please start with that immediately 👀👀👀👀👀👀
so i dont think theres very much that i didnt say in the tags of the post i made about it (unless tumblr ate those for some reason)
but basically. yeah after jon takes the archivist position he starts seeing elias as jonah (at elias' age, not as like. a corpse in the panopticon). obviously he immediately realises that its jonah bcs, yknow, the guys paintings are everywhere.
i imagine jon's train of thought is something like this:
did my boss get possessed by jonah magnus -> no thats dumb ghosts arent real -> im having a psychotic episode -> surely id be seeing other symptoms -> what the FUCK is happening
so a huge amount of jon's desire to find the truth about the supernatural ends up focused on jonah. initially he's just doing research into the actual guy jonah magnus himself but that doesnt really get him anywhere because its not like jonah was like "dear diary im an eye avatar and im going to start putting my eyes into other people so i can be immortal" so he starts doing research into elias instead. which also turns out to be quite difficult just doing normal research.
luckily, jon and elias are decently friendly with each other (at least in early s1, which this would still be). so surely its not weird to try and make sure your relationship with your boss is positive. thats just common sense thats just cultivating a welcoming workplace environment or whatever. and ofc elias is like
Tumblr media
bcs this is objectively great! jons leaning into the eye hes considering breaching elias' privacy to learn more about him and ofc hes flattered that jon is so focused on him in particular. so he allows jon to break into his office and look through his things and he pretends he isnt watching the entire time, and he casually mentions some flaws in his home security to try and spur jon into breaking into his house (which he doesnt. yet.)
they're sort of not-quite-dating - tim might joke about jon going on dates with elias and jon gets very flustered and denies it and elias is a little over affectionate in public just to see how jon reacts, but neither of them have any idea that jon's doing all of this just so he can figure out why his boss is (apparently) the founder of the institute.
then prentiss happens. then they find gertrude's body.
i dont think jon gets as paranoid as he does in canon - hes been less of an asshole since all of his focus has gone into researching elias and trying to figure out what the fuck happened. so while i think he does do some research into the archival crew, its mainly research into gertrude herself, and continuing his research into elias. now with added stalking!
and of course elias still doesnt care about the stalking because hes still 1. very happy jon is taking to the eye so well and 2. flattered that jon is so focused on him to the point of stalking him. in my heart i know elias considers stalking to be a form of flirting
s2 goes generally the same but i want jon to find out about the not-them just a little sooner so i can make him go "holy shit! elias got not-them'd! what the fuck!" of course this is completely incorrect if you know anything about how the not-them works but jon. doesnt.
jon, of course, breaks the table. then he finds out that sasha got not-them'd. then he finds out leitner is alive. then he finds out leitner is dead.
who else does he have to go to? he shows up at elias' home, maybe just minutes after elias finishes cleaning up, because a man has been killed in his office and he didnt do it.
because i am a soft elias truther s3 isnt just manipulation and horrible things happening for jon. horrible things still do happen (elias very much doesnt discourage him from talking to jude perry, or mike crew, for example) and elias is still a bastard but its probably not any significant amount more horrible than canon s3 was.
jon probably spends amounts of time talking to elias about what leitner told him (which is hilarious to elias) and elias (against his better judgement) doesnt tell jon that leitner was lying, but instead asks him questions that may or may not lead him to figuring out the entities. he's curious as to what's going to happen, and he's sure jon likes him enough that showing just a little of what he knows wont tarnish their relationship
i dont have many thoughts beyond that - the confrontation probably goes differently, for example, and maybe jon permanently moves in with elias. i cant decide how much of a corruption arc i should give jon (obviously he ends up much more content with the eye than in canon bcs the eye is sexy but i cant decide if hes pro apocalypse or not) but when jon finds out that elias is jonah hes like "oh i know" and jonah is like what the fuck do you mean

Hey so uh what's up with the no likes if you don't reblog rule? You seem incredibly harsh about it and it kinda feels super rude, but maybe there's a genuine reason? Like I just added a rule to my blog asking people to interact before or shortly after following so I know they're real people, so maybe it's a similar situation? /gq /nm
this is the last ask im posting about this mark my words after this im fucking done. so anon if you have been on tumblr longer than like a week you know that theres no Algorithm here. this means that likes do nothing. if you like a post it will not show that post to anyone else. the only thing it does is save it to your likes page and show up in the notifications of the op and whoever put it on your dashboard unlike twitter where if you like a post it has a chance of putting it on one of your followers timelines. likes are functionally useless and literally were not implemented on tumblr until a full year after its creation and half the fucking userbase doesnt use them anyways. usually it would be fine if you just liked a post and didnt reblog it. i do it sometimes. some posts are meant to not be reblogged. thats fine. but with drawings and paintings and writing and every other form of art put on this goddamn site we can put hours into that shit and when someone likes it it does nothing but clog up ones notifications and (in the case of my stuff) annoy me. it doesnt get it anywhere. does that make sense now finally

posting a big grievance infodump from late last night under a read more. about some semi obscure god lore that doesnt really make it toooo much into the story but still contributes to motivations and such. and i just generally like the way this ties itself together in how i wrote it so i wanna share it
making worlds for gods is kind of all theyre meant to do its actually part of the reason ronnies depression gets really bad bc like. every god is different but they will generally have at least soooome kind of longing or feeling of obligation to be doing that. and ronnies was really bad but it was like essentially punishable by death to not just like sit and do nothing basically so it contributed to his depression a lot. but once a god like makes a world has one or has multiple its like. a commitment for eternity or until that world is gone. anything bad happens to it it will make you tired or sick if you try to neglect it it will make you tired or sick. if you are not doing nothing except looking after it you are tired and/or sick. in atrophy theres a decent amount of shadow gods who have worlds and most of them just kind of do nothing but that but like. this isnt really an ironed out plot beat but theres supposed to be one that lobotomy sends after nix and co. whos apparently been trying to multitask and the second they have to get into a fight they like. straight up just keel over and die. and thats why ronnie comes back. again thats not ironed out and could change but its my current way of showing what gods having a world is kind of like in the story. so yeah theyre not just like guys who are strong they really do have godly obligations most of them just. dont. bc its a big commitment its like. having a baby if the baby was ever present and never stopped screaming the mortals that they make are also the mortals they can like. 100% do anything to bc mortals from other universes or anything like ppl rift nix talk to basically just cant hurt him and he has like. super strength compared to them. could pop them like a grape. but theyre not ones he made so he cant like. turn them into a cube or something which is mostly restrictions to keep them from being absolutely super all powerful in rp or anything both options are kind of meant to feel kind of suffocating bc gods arent really. mmmeeeaaaant to be people theyre meant to be machines that do their godly duty and nothing else. but theyre also people. and they have to deal with being people. and i feel like a lot of grievance is kind of just people having to deal with being. people the thing is even if asterisk wasnt there doing that most of them STILL wouldnt just bc. well theyre people and theres other people there and theyd rather be with the other people than. essentially working forever. the reason ronnie at the end of atrophy doesnt start doing actual god stuff is bc nix and vinny are there now and theyre more important to him than anything he feels obligated to do. i imagine especially for the rift gusbands getting out of the purpose and living in a real mortal world that has change and constant movement and countless people must be so freeing. because the purpose is kind of just a soulless husk of a place to live theres. nothing there. unless you make it. and these gods sit around and do nothing because they dont know any better but living in a mortal world they can learn to outgrow that. i just think its really beautiful to think about. being literally made to do something and not being allowed to and its crushing because you cant do the one thing tou were made for. but then youre free of those rules but instead of turning to that obligation you realize. you dont have to do what you were made for. you can just live. you can do anything and go anywhere and be anyone and be WITH anyone you want. you can just live i also think its very pretty in my head how certain things like this end up tying nix and starb together as characters when they can seem so distant from each other in concept. but theres little details where theyre the same. someday they can both learn that they dont have to be what they were "made" to be they dont have to only ever look after a world they dont have to be a murderer they dont have to be a weapon they dont have to work nonstop for the sake of other people. they can just be themselves. thats a sentiment they both learn in the end

first look at the monster high g3 animated series
alright rather than bombard u all with a series of posts im just gonna go in for a second watch and put a play by play of my impressions under the cut. reader beware: its going to be long and stupid as hell.
watch along with me
0:18 the new design for the school is kind of amazing. like part of me misses the more traditional spooky-gothic-castle but like i cant deny that the big lightning bolts look cool af and i do think it has more character than the g2 which imo just kind of looked like. a school.
0:33 new spectra is soo cute lol she wasnt anywhere near my fav in the old series but smth about the big flowy purple curls is rly charming me this time around
0:47 ghost ms frizzle??
1:10 i rly like a lot of these background monster designs. this zombie girl in particular is very cute and also i think i spied a werewolf boy in the back who i liked.
1:19 still obsessed with this cleo design. hope future dolls get better at capturing her charm and in general they stop being so weird abt her race and skin color. also for all that ive seen folks worry that this gens cutesier design will mean taking out the more horror-adjacent elements for the sake of better fitting the typical Girl Toy brand, im so happy to see mh3 doesnt shy away from a bit of tasteful gore <3
1:29 YUMMERS
2:01 BRITISH TORALEI LMAO?? idek why this is just killing me for some reason. its such a little thing but i feel like it gives her a totally different vibe. maybe its the anglophobe in me.
2:08 i wasnt sure where to put this part but im still sort of struggling with this concept of monsters hating witches, especially considering in this version witches arent like a separate monster-adjacent species (rip casta fierce) rather witchcraft just seems to be something anyone can learn to do? i dont entirely hate it i just dont get it i guess. i do think itd be fun if later there was like a witch high rival school. possible opening for the long awaited ever after high crossover event? anyone?
2:17 FUCK THE HATERS LAGOONA IS SOOOO CUTE i love that she immediately jumps to imagining a star-crossed monster x witch romance which is such a teen girl move imo. and that then she seems to like remember halfway in that we all hate witches for some reason and gets so immediately morbid with it i LOVE it go bestie go
2:45 i know its just a vampire joke but in before g1 purists get mad abt the idea of g3 draculaura actually biting ppl even though shes a vegan in g1. i mean i think theyll probably keep that trait since its a handy way to avoid blood in a kids show and its sorta quirky-endearing to boot but i think itd rule if they let draculaura bite some people this time around tbhhh.
3:00 choklat milk snake B)
3:20 ride or die ghoulies dont even question why their bud needs u to catch a living snack this is why frankie is a real one
3:55 im so obsessed with this frankie. i love that they found draculauras stash and were like neat :-) now to not mention this to anybody :-) iconic behavior
5:08 its just processing for me now that draculaura has this like huge portrait of her dad just in her room. i do think its cute that her character is more perfect-daddys-girl-but-with-a-secret (a trope i largely enjoy a Lot) this time around but thats still wild behavior.
5:11 ok i know i said this when the sneak peak came out but the idea that heath is an actual demon and son of the literal DEVIL this time around, confirming that hell is real in monster high lore, is making me insane. i genuinely love it. wish theyd given heath some cute lil horns or a tail.
5:15 THAT THING WITH THEIR EYES!!!! frankie is so damn cool.
5:37 dracula being this like celebrity in the monster world i think is an interesting take but i feel like im gonna get so annoyed if his character starts showing up a lot. idk i dont hate it its just a weird vibe.
6:05 it took a while to click since clawdeen doesnt talk a lot in this ep but it is kind of weird hearing her (and draculaura) without an accent. i kinda found g1 draculauras voice a little grating at times so i dont mind that and i do rly like how clawdeen sounds more like an actual kid but idk i miss the accent
6:28 theres not a whole lot to say on deuce since hes only here for side gags in this ep but just wanted to go on the record with: i think hes cute
6:42 weirdly super enamored with the food-creatures, especially the burger lol. reminds me of bugsnax. also this whole fight sequence rly displays how far mh animation has come from rigid flash animations of a handful of stock characters. its neat.
7:13 bat!draculaura is adorableeee
8:23 now i rly thought she was abt to say living foods go to hell in this nickolodeon kids cartoon ghjfdjhd
8:35 the headmistress is so cute too wtf it IS snack time snack time so tru bestie
8:56 fghjkjhgf sorry that resolution is ridiculous. im not complaining mind you i just. like. wow. also side note but i think the intercom being based on the monster high skull-with-bow logo is a cute throwback. didnt realize before but i feel like it hasnt been as central in the marketing in a while. its still def around but not as much i dont think.
9:08 lol ok i know its probably just another reference to dracula being bad with technology (cute trait for him tbh) but when i first saw this i couldnt help over-analyzing with my Lore Brain and wondering if it was also a reference to vampires not showing up on camera. but then i realized the kid he takes a pic with also has fangs and bat wings and shows up fine so thats probably not it, especially since drac canonically shows up fine in video.
9:50 the "bat out" reoccurring line is so incredibly cheesy it makes sense hes quoting it from some 70s b-movie he was in. but that doesnt make it any less cringey to me. also i know i said he kinda annoys me and he does but i do desperately wanna know how this bitch got into show business. drac backstory please. dracstory, if you will.
10:30 YOUR HONOR THEYRE JUST CUTIE BABIE BESTIES <333333
10:45 im reeeeally excited to see how this plot develops. i honestly assumed this series would be more like the web shorts except longer and more developed. as in, episodic and largely unrelated to one another, but im soo hype to see them doing something more serialized with overarching conflict and stakes. also we <3 classic troublemaking cant mind her own damn business toralei. like girl you have no reason for acting like this. she is simply a messy bitch.
final thoughts: really really liked it. love the visuals and the ways the new characterization plays with old beloved traits. love that this series has more of a familiar cartoon hijinks vibe rather than leaning too hard into it being like a Teen Girl Show just because the toys are first and foremost a fashion doll line. i dont know if im articulating that well i just mean i like that the girls are allowed to have like a full range of motion and action and emotion, and that they can be like gross and funny in addition to pretty. i think g1 had a good start in this regard but was definitely limited both by the animation and the expectation to follow that niche established by like barbie/bratz animated works (no hate to any of those either tho)
there are changes that ill need to get used to obviously, but i feel like the franchise is heading in a strong new direction. i saw some folks complaining that the bits about draculauras witchcraft and clawdeens half monster/half human felt like they were introduced as a means to employ annoying Fantasy Racism tropes, and thats a really valid criticism, but its also kind of something monster high has always done (with regards to monster/human conflict, certain monsters being discriminated against for certain traits, jackson jekylls entire character, etc).
i get the concern, but i feel like in a series so centered on embracing differences its kind of impossible to not include issues of discrimination, and it being a kids fantasy series, that does sometimes translate in a way that feels wonky or oversimplified at best. tho tbh monster highs execution regarding the subject always kind of felt to me like one of the better ones. idk. im just feeling good about this first look and excited to see how the show and the monster high franchise as a whole develops further as we move forward.
anyway stan g3 lagoona she deserves better than the g1 purists have been giving her.

okay back again hi hello, how about 10, 12, 13, and 14 from the OC asks post from yesterday about Addie?? thank youuu :3
10. What is a weird quality that they have (ie their hands are always cold, they’re always hungry, they snort when they laugh, etc)? besides the fact that addie can turn into a beautiful creacher, she's only had tits for a short time since she moved to transition but, thanks magic and genetics, they got really big, and she will absolutely like, accidentally bump things off shelves or whatever, or judge wrong and get stuck in a shirt or something, lol. addie voice okay see this one fits, it's fine, i can even move my--[fabric rips] arms.
she's also an intense homebody and has a lot of hobbies to keep her busy, and is really stubbornly trying to get into miniatures even though they're So Small and Frustrating...her hands aren't as dexterous as she wants them to be but she's Working on it
also she gets drowsy or grumpy when she's too warm
i can do this all day oops
12. How do they show affection to someone they love?
addie's family is super rich and also very like, aloof and cold, and she hasn't experienced a lot of straightforward affection, so it's been a hell of a learning curve. she's very delicate and nervous but she's trying her best, a little bit at a time. She's a sucker for gentle physical contact and is definitely a gift giver, but she struggles with what makes an okay gift bc sky comes from almost no money and is also weird about it and it's a balancing act...they'll figure it out.
but does addie go with sky to the fair and win the rigged fair game with some magic strength when sky is ready to throw a fit at the asshole with the carnival mustache running the stupid thing? absolutely. is she going to pick the biggest stuffed animal she can that makes sky's eyes light up and then also carry it for her the whole rest of the date? one Hundred Percent, living the dream
also she's a big fan of kissin
13. Do they make strong/frequent eye contact when they talk to someone?
addie splits the difference between trying way too hard and looking Anywhere Else, especially when she's flustered. It's super hard for her to look sky in the eye bc she loves her so much...
14. What attributes do they have that are inherited from their parents or shared with their siblings/other relatives?
lol
addie is technically still a prince (or?? lord? or smth? i mean it's my game of pretend and i can make it ridiculous if i want to, yeah?) and would technically inherit a lot of money and also land and responsibilities, but things have been a little weird since she left home for Several Reasons, and she hasn't really talked to her family in a while (resolving things and getting her family back is part of the plot i promise)
she's an only child and has a lot of emotional struggles bc when she got emotional she'd transform and then be locked in her room until she could calm down enough to be a human being again and be Amongst Polite Company. yeah baby that'll make a normal child for sure
actually she probably has a bunch of half-siblings or step siblings and cousins or something. she doesnt know them very well tho, she was never interested in hanging out with the other kids at family events again for. So Many Reasons
gosh im thinking of her coveting a beautiful easter dress and the little lace socks and shiny shoes and just. stock still at the event until a grownup interacts with her. honey don't you want to go hunt eggs? you'll have so much fun with the other kids!!! no thank you ma'am she will be just fine not getting pushed down the hill tyvm. and getting grass stains on her little suit. fuck
kids, love em, can be menaces, but especially rich kids, goddamn,
it's okay baby youll get so many pretty things and a beautiful love to share them with and youll be happy

Hello! Some Crimson asks for the ask game you posted! The wyvern fellow: 🎓 🥊 ❤️ the princess:🧠 🍩 and your pick of character: 🧊 ✨🧠
Hello!! I would love to share about Crimson OCs! Thankyou for your asks!!!
The Wyvern Fellow - Nikolai
🎓- How long have you had the OC?
Technically since about 2006 I think, they are adjacent to my usual sona which has had a few tweaks to their design but ultimately kept majority of their features. In terms of specifically this form they have, I think it was the beginning of 2020. The story has changed a little but that’s when the original concept started!
🥊-What do they love to do? What do they hate to do?
They love anywhere cold. As a wyvern of ice and lightning they thrive in the cooler climates and feel most at home/at peace in freezing temperatures. To that point they do enjoy shallow water that is cooler, floating on the surface and letting little ice crystals accumulate around them is their happy place.
They hate folk(people)lmao. Not the most socially adept individual it takes them a while to grow some kind of comfort/acceptance around being near folk and large crowds. To the first point they hate anything too hot that it would cost more energy to maintain their ice gauntlets. Without them as a weapon they feel more vulnerable and hate that.
❤️- What is one of your OC’s best memories?
Ohh this is a tough one. I think, as much as they deny it/keep a more colder appearance, one of their favourite memories ends up being going to the circus with Natasha ;v;
The Princess - Natasha
🧠- What do you like most about the OC?
Me being sappy here knowing Tash will read this (EHEHEH) I love this OC because she is my best friend. Not my OC but hers, our self insert characters have been friends/partners/etc in a lot of universes we share together. I love her as a character because she is so human and shows the struggle of someone the world expects so much of and the pressures she has on herself to meet those standards even though she is struggling. I love the genuine connection I feel to her as a character in the way she interacts with the world and the flaws she has and for how cruel the world can be and how powerful she is, she still chooses to be compassionate and work for peace.
🍩-Who is your OC’s arch-nemesis or rival?
Moonwhisper lmao. The creator that has made her job so much harder by putting sakes on her decision to find (and hopefully fix) the reason magic is fading from the world. Their interactions are like playing 3D or 4D chess and it is both a delight and struggle to write their interactions but their dynamic is probably my favourite.
Pick a character - I’m gonna pick Thane cause I love my boy so much.
🧊- Is their current design the first one?
Surprisingly it is! While majority of characters in Crimson as old OCs repurposed/integrated into this most shamelessly self indulgent and catering story, Thane is one I created to pair with Odin when Crimson was in its earliest stages. Originally Crimson was going to follow Thane and idk, he was one of those designs that just clicked right away. I think the only thing that changed was his hair colour but that was still during initial designing. His hair is a bit neater now I think but ultimately he has stayed the same :3c
✨- How did you come up with the OC’s name?
*sweats and looks at Mass Effect 3* I really like Thane—  
🧠- What do you like most about the OC?
I love the challenge that comes with working through his curse and being caught in a timeloop. I love figuring out how he interacts with a world that both does and doesnt remember him from before he loses his memories. I love exploring his and Odin’s relationship given Odin’s tie to the curse doesn’t make him lose his memories. I also love that he was a shameless excuse to give my art muse a chance to show up as Thane’s own summon lmao.
Thankyou for the asks!!
If you would like to ask about my OCs : Ask Game for someone’s OC(s)

The good, the bad and the fandom -V9E2 - Altercation at the auspicious auction - critical review (Spoilers)
Greetings, this post is a part of my ongoing series of threads reviewing the episodes of Volume 9. The link to the first episodes review can be found(On Reddit, under this same account name, cant link it because i think Tumblr doesnt like links).
This series was started so i could give me opinions, be they good or bad, about the new volume of RWBY and to cover some of the FNDM discourse that is inevitably going to happen over the episodes.
Keep in mind that all of these are opinions and not all of them are what one could consider to be "traditional" criticisms but rather personal preference. Also, for the most part i will not go into detail too much in these, just a general overview.
The Good
Little - Little continues to be a treat. And YES, every episode they show up i will include a blurb about them in these reviews. Because Little deserves it. They continue to be comedic and a good way to release some tension and lighten the mood, while they are not entirely effective as a guide, they still have a value in being more familiar with the world that the protagonists find themselves in.
Weiss - Some level of frustration from Weiss is nice. She serves as the straight man of the group without going into depression category as Ruby currently is. I do like her sarcastic self and being more expressive as she was back in V1-V3. And some of her comic relief scenes are quite welcome, like cringing when Blake says "What does your heart tell you?". Her being frustrated over not knowing what happened to the people after the fall of Atlas is also good. Of course, one also has to bring up that she thinks Jinxy adorable, and considering that she also found Zwei a cute little furball, that is great.
Blake - Blakes quality of being a reader of books coming back is very nice. Its a quality that she has had since early in the show, but it has not really been showcased anywhere besides now. While of course i will complain that this interest of hers did not show up very much before now, it is still great that it is acknowledged here, in a literal fairy-tale. Yang knowing the same story (Due to being a surrogate parent for Ruby) is also great.
Just Right - I have to say that i do like this episode more. Unlike the last one, the pacing of this episode seems a lot better and the humour is for the most part well executed. Not to mention that the plot is moving forward at a very acceptable pace, we have time to have character moments and move the plot.
It kind of reinforces the point that many critics have made over the years, that the cast of RWBY is TOO LARGE. Right now we are dealing with 5 main characters with most other cast being minor at this point in time, and that is how it should be. Jinxy  for example has been given enough time for now. The guards wont last long too i expect. And that is good. Just like with Pilot boy, or the waitress back in V4, it is good to have these background characters with not much else to them.
Penny - Ruby talking about Penny was a great scene, i think it could have been better without the comedic nonsense surrounding it, but the speech itself, was great. What Ruby says is true, Penny was a true hero who helped many people in her life. For Ruby to be making this speech is also great as she was the closest to Penny, i hope that something is done with the sword eventually.
The Bad
Silly Weiss - I like silly Weiss as much as the next Weiss simp. But i do think that this quality of hers has been overdone in this episode. Some aspects of it are fine as i have said before, the auction for example, but her being so comically frustrated over being in a fairy tale just did not do much for me. It feels overblown for little reason other than being comedic relief, when she does not need to be, Little serves that role just fine.
Skeptic Weiss - Does anyone remember how the protagonists treated the powers of the maidens as something special? Well, this is more of the same. While the protagonists can definitely be miffed and skeptical about being in a fairy tale, it should be more reserved than it is now. Weiss complaining about how the Ever After does not make sense etc has little effect when she is a bloody sorceress/summoner from a world that has soul powers, dust, grimm, flying islands, godzillas and who knows what else.
Again, do not get me wrong, it is fine for her to be skeptical and to be annoyed over the situation, especially since she is frustrated over not knowing the fate of the people after the fall of Atlas. But what we got was way over the top. ESPECIALLY after Blake literally tells Weiss that they have all experienced the same things as a character in the book, and Weiss seems to KNOW that book from what i can gather, which is just basic pattern recognition at this point.
Especially since one of these scenes results in a tonal clash with Ruby being all sad over being reminded of the death of Penny while we see Weiss in a comedy routine, that was a huge tonal clash in my opinion.
Instant motion overusage - This is probably gonna be a common complaint from me, but there is definitely an issue with overusing instant motion for me. Currently it has been in 2-2 episodes of the volume, and it is very obvious it is used focusing on Little a lot. In my opinion that is way too much. It should be a rarity. I have a suspicion that it was done to save animation time, and i find it suspicious that it is used mostly for Little.
For those who do not know, one of the model creators for these volume revealed that they poured a lot of blood and sweat in Littles 3d model being able to do upright animations and animations on 4 legs, apparently such a thing is difficult and most of the time 2 separate models are created for such things, at least that is what multiple animators/artists have told me.
For me the instant motion is weird because it could be easily used to hide the changing of models of Little from the upright one to the 4 legs one. But that should not be required since Littles models is said to be able to do all animations without needing to change models.
Right now i can claim no definitive concerns, but its definitely weird to me and i have to bring it up.
The Fandom
Of course, it would not be the RWBY fandom without disagreements and arguments inflaming in it. This episode most arguments centered around the BB hand scene and Tonal shifts/clashes and Weiss character "changes".
Tonal Clash - Currently the most present discussions that i have seen were over the feeling that there was tonal clash in the episode. There is no problem with comedic scenes relieving some more sad ones and the like, but tonal shifts are difficult things to actually execute. Tone is on a scale, if you go from one side of the scale to the other too fast or at the wrong time, the effect can be bad.
Now, for the most part i think it was handled well in this episode. For the most part. Like i said, the Penny scene after the Auction definitely had a tonal clash problem especially since sadness + humour was happening at the same time and the timing wasn't right. I do think this is a fair complaint to bring up. And i think that it is going to be a constant worry with this Volume.
We are right after the fall of Atlas, arguably the most intense/sad moment of the series and we are instantly thrown into a fairy tale world with wacky rules and even wackier characters. It is definitely a brave choice by the writers as this is a minefield of tonal clashes that now has to be navigated, we will see if it is done well. For now, it is fine, for the most part. But that might change.
I was thinking of writing a big thread of this, and will probably do so after the end of the Volume, but not right now.
"Weiss is OOC" - Related to the aforementioned point is of course the discourse about Weiss, and whether or not she is acting way too OOC as she currently is. The opponents of this claim bring up how Weiss can actually be very goofy and has been in the series, while the proponents think that after the fall of Atlas, Weiss should be more serious.
I know im going to be a filthy centrist here, but both sides have a point. I think that Weiss is fine being goofy. Her sarcastic remarks, how she acts during the auction and the like. These are fine and do not clash with her also being annoyed/frustrated with the situation.
However, a lot of her scenes are way too extreme for that. Sure, its comedic, but its too goofy. While her V1-V3 self had some BIG goofy moments, the show was completely tonally different from what it currently is.
So basically, I agree that Weiss is a bit too OOC, but i think that some people want Weiss to lose her goofyness completely, something that i cannot abide by. Geiss is going to be free! HONK!
BB Hands/Extreme Fandom - Yeah yeah, the BB discourse started again because Yang/Blake ALMOST touched hands, wooooo. Look, my opinions about BB have always been clear, i dont think its well writen, i am not a fan of the relationship, but i dont mind it either and i think it should be finally confirmed/progressed.
Besides that, the arguments and discourse is the usual sparring session with the SAME arguments that have been in the fandom since VOLUME TWO! So no, im not going to comment on this because i am tired of the same argument over and over again.
I am of the same opinion as Weiss - "Finally" - Weiss 2023.
However, i think it is important to bring something else up, and that is some of the extremes parts of the fandom have ALREADY retreated into. Some people are overpraising the show way too much at the moment and are way too protective in my opinion, others are looking WAY too much into ways to rip into the show when the problems they notice are minor at best.
What we have in these two episodes, i do not think it deserves nearly as much anger/vitriol in arguments as some people are engaging in. The episodes are fine. For some they are great, but even at their worse these episodes are fine as they are, they have some minor issues, but that is all they are, minor issues.
Let us not descend into extremes just yet, we will have an entire hiatus for that.
Ending Word
I have little else to say for this episode. I think it is definitely an improvement over the first episode and i await the rest of the episodes. Just as i have said last week, we all just need more information/episodes to have a more clear picture of the volume. I also love the short episode commentaries that get released weekly too.
Of course, these are all just my opinions, everyone else is welcome to agree/disagree or to add on to this in way they deem proper. All opinions are welcome within reason.

Just been thinking about the scene in "Gorizilla" where Adrien jumps off the skyscraper and Gabriel is forced to show some emotions while writing another post and I... I just-
Gabriel you selfish dick, what the hell??
Tumblr media
I was just as glad as everyone else to see Gabriel expressing genuine concern and fear for Adrien, it hit especially hard BECAUSE he was being Hawkmoth at that moment. But this
Tumblr media
THIS???
I just noticed how much of a bastard thing this was of him to say.
Think about it. This situation came to be because Gabriel completely disregarded Adrien when he just wanted to ask his father the short but very important question (which Adrien made known) of getting to see his mothers film in the movie theaters and send him away to his room when he noticed Adriens ring again which led to him suspecting Adrien to be Chat Noir. Gabriel wanted to confront Adrien about it but because Gabriel literally treated him like shit Adrien run away to see it anyway to which Gabriel reacts by sending the Gorilla after him (go after him yourself jerk,YOU fucked this up). The Gorilla can't catch Adrien though so Gabriel chews him out and immediately akumatizes him so Adrien has to reveal himself to free himself so he can help Ladybug deakumatize him.
Well, things escalate eventually leading to Adrien jumping off a skyscraper at the same time Ladybug gets caught by Gorizilla leaving her unable to save him from certain DEATH and here we are now
Tumblr media
Adrien is falling to his death and Gabriel as Hawkmoth is literally BEGGING him to transform if he really indeed is Chat Noir.
....
....
Do you also see whats so genuinely fucked up about this scenario here? Let me repeat it:
Gabriel, the man who is not only the cause of all of this but also the one and only person involved who's is in complete control here, is begging ADRIEN, of whom he doesn't even know for sure if he really is Chat Noir, to transform to de-escalate his own fall to his death.
Gabriel Garbage Agreste, how DARE you start begging as if you were any kind of victim in this?!
Let me break it down just how much is wrong with all of this:
Even though Gabriel is fully aware that HE is the person in control here and is NOT sure if Adrien, who is literally about to die in mere moments, even has a definite way of saving himself, he's still putting the active "decision making" on ADRIEN. Who, let me remind you, can NOT hear Hawkmoth/Gabriel begging him to transform! Gabriel is making ADRIEN the one responsible for the outcome of this situation right now even though there is still the very real possibility that Adrien has no possible way of knowing that Hawkmoth is counting on him to transform BECAUSE HE MIGHT NOT BE A MIRACULOUS HOLDER IN THE FIRST PLACE!
It doesn't matter at all that Gabriel was correct with his suspicion because he's just immediately throwing all the responsibility he holds for this entire situation right off of himself, playing poor bystander father, when HE is the one who holds all the power and therefore should be the one immediately taking action in HIS chaos for which HIS SON is about to lose his life!
In addition to that point, let's talk about the ridiculous amount of time Gabriel let Adrien fall while just standing there waiting and begging.
Because Gabriel is not only asking Adrien to transform once, he's asking TWICE.
Tumblr media
There are 31(!!!) seconds beween Hawkmoths reaction to Adrien jumping and Ladybugs yoyo-string reaching Adrien and even though one certainly can make an argument here that the show time does not translate into the “real” time as well, but even if, there is no way in hell these 31 insane seconds would ever realistically come down to a number that isnt unforgivable long concidering the circumstances. And even then he's only letting Ladybug go to catch him because he hears Ladybug call to an absend Chat Noir for help, finally getting it through his thick skull just how close he is to having his own sons blood on his hands.
Tumblr media
Gabriel was willing to let his own, possibly innocent, son fall to his DEATH for this long for the off-chance of him revealing himself to be Chat Noir because Gabriel is unwilling or simply incapable of taking on the obvious responsibility he holds until things reach such unspeakable limits that he has to face reality for a moment so not everything goes up in flames.
But I'm not done yet. Oh no, definitely NOT.
Because even after waiting for so long he’s forced to let Ladybug go, this is still not the moment that convinced Gabriel of Adriens innocence. Its only after Wayham doubles as Adrien while Adrien transforms into Chat to join the fight that the sight of Adrien and Chat Noir at the same place eventually convinces him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at his face here and dare to tell me he wasnt still 100% convinced that Adrien could very likely be Chat Noir. Also dafuq kind of reaction is “Well, thats for the better” with THAT expression? That is NOT anywhere close to the relieved expression he SHOULD have had here! How much horrible stuff has already happened to Chat Noir at this point of the show? And THIS is how you react to the for-any-somewhat-resonable-parent GODSEND (but false) news that it wasnt your own flesh and blood you did this to? Yeah, you truly care Hawkbitch. Can someone please just call child protection services already?!
So even after this IMMENSE risk Adrien was not yet save from his supervillain father and neither was he Gabriels actual priority after “finding out” that Adrien is NOT Chat and he just put his CIVILIAN son through all of THIS. Which is exactly what happened in "heros day" part 1 and 2, where in part 1 he once again tells Gorizilla to protect Adrien, he is his "number 1 priority" but in part 2, after Adrien escaped from his akumatized bodyguard, Gorizilla is one of the giants Hawkmoth calls to himself but Gabriel has nothing to say to that. It was literally like he totally forgot about Adrien all together which is only made clearer by Hawkmoth later on straight up calling himself "a man with nothing to lose".
Tumblr media
Fuck you Gabriel, Adrien was literally never an actual priority for you and you proof it over and over again.
And apparently even a situation that proofs someones innocence in every possible factor will not be proof enough for Gabriel to accept that he was wrong if it was HIM who had to back down and take the needed action to de-escalate the situation and not someone else. Any situation that forces "weakness" of him and doesnt end with an undoubtable proof that 100% satisfies/clears his previous intention holds no worth in credibility for him, no matter how irrational or contra-productive it is to still cling onto it. Because Gabriel/Hawkmoth refuses to be the one having to back down and to be out-stubborned by anyone else. If he isnt the one tricking the others his paranoia and ego stop him from thinking clearly. Especially concering Gabriels and Adriens always worsening relationship, this is a bloody dark red allert for the future.
But besides that, lets talk about just how much of an selfish, self-centered and irresponsible thing is it of him to ask ADRIEN to pull the sacrifice in this moment?
Tumblr media
Adrien didn't refuse to transform for no reason. If he were to do it not only everybody in Paris would see it but HAWKMOTH as well and Adrien has no way of knowing that Hawkmoth at this point is not as much his enemy as he rightfully thinks and actually just wants him safe and sound right now. Adrien is perfectly aware that the moment Hawkmoth finds out about his identity he WILL take advantage of it, endangering his loved ones, friends etc (naturally including Gabriel himself as Adriens father as a big priority) and going after him mercilessly until he gets his ring. Adrien didn't refuse to save himself for nothing and that's important as hell!
Because here is Gabriel now begging Adrien to pull that exact sacrifice even though HE could stop this whenever he wanted, saving Adrien himself.
But he doesn't right away
And do you know why he doesn't?
Because stopping it required letting go of Ladybug and that could possibly lead to him losing the chance of getting her miraculous.
So this rotten insult to fatherhood wants to tell me now that he's a poor, poor father who fears for his dear sons life while basically asking ADRIEN to be the one to pull the bloody heavy sacrifice that will lead in Adriens eyes to horrible and devastating consequences for all of his loved ones and himself.
Just so Gabriel himself doesn't have to do it!
This is Gabriels default reaction by instinct. Gabriel are you FUCKING kidding me with this bullshit? How come I only noticed the fucked up second face of this scene now? I went so long actually giving Gabriel some legit credit for this but in reality this is beyond 7 stars of awful.
Once again, I applause Miraculous for this nuanced charactersation. This is what I will forever and ever love this show for and its fine to portray this because it obviously leads up to something
So let me say this with every inch of my heart:
FUCK. GABRIEL. AGRESTE!!!!

hi guysss. pls pls pls if anyone of you are from indonesia or anywhere i just want to urge you to read this article. i know if your not indo you are probably confused but this arcticle is about 3 kids probably 10 or younger who got SA by their own father and the mother is trying to report everything about what happen to their kids but the police but the police doesnt even believed it. SO PLS PLS HELP THIS BLOW OUT EVERYWHERE
Tumblr media
english translation:
WARNING: This article contains explicit content that can trigger emotional and mental stress for readers. We recommend that you do not continue reading it. We recommend that this article be read by the Indonesian police.
if you wrote it,” he said, “what would change?”
“We rely on the police. We reported it. So what? The perpetrator is still free.”
Lydia reported the rape of her three children, all of whom were under 10 years old. The alleged perpetrators are her ex-husband, their own biological father, a state civil servant who has a position in a regional government office.
The police investigated his complaint, but the process was strongly suspected of being fraught with manipulation and conflict of interest. Only two months since he made the complaint, the police have stopped the investigation.
Not only did she not get justice, Lydia was even accused of having a vengeful motive for reporting her ex-husband. He was also attacked as a person with a mental disorder. This attack was allegedly used to delegitimize his report and any evidence he collected alone to support his quest for justice.
Lydia isn't her real name. A single mother, after a divorce, her three children came with her. They live in East Luwu, a border district in South Sulawesi, a 12-hour drive from Makassar City.
Even though she is divorced, her ex-husband still wants to be involved in co-parenting. Her ex-husband is free to pick up his three children when they come home from school and give him pocket money or toys.
The situation seemed normal until Lydia realized the hidden truth: While helping her daughter take a bath, she found several bruises on her son's thigh.
The child reasoned, the bruises were due to falling while playing catch. Lydia advised them to be careful. However, not only bruises, but the behavior of the children changed drastically, preferring to be silent, often hitting them. Lazy to eat. Frequent dizziness and vomiting.
On one night in early October 2019, while Lydia was washing the dishes, her youngest child screamed that her sister was complaining of vaginal pain. Lydia immediately approached her eldest child, hugged her from behind while rubbing her shoulders.
"Son, what did you say earlier?" said Lydia.
"No, Mamak," replied the eldest son.
He coaxed, “I love you so much. Too bad. If there is a problem, tell Mamak. I became a helper and protector ta. Don't you dare to cook with Mamak?"
"Say, son. If a child is sick, Mamak doesn't know. Does it hurt, kid?"
The eldest was silent for a long time. Then cry without tears. Lydia was shocked, panicked. The eldest, in a low voice as if choking, said: "Mamak... my father na anu pepe' . " Mamak, daddy did something to my pussy, he said.
Lydia cried, leaning on the back of the sofa, “Don't play games, kid. Don't play around."
"Yes, Mama. Yes."
He asked his two children, "Is this true, son?"
"Yes, Mama. I also had my butt crushed,” said his son.
"Me too Mamak," replied the youngest child.
She grabbed her three children, crying together. His head seemed to explode, wanting to scream. While trying to get up to go to the bathroom, to let go of tears, he fell. His legs felt bone loss.
The kids helped him inching his way. He slid over to the sofa. He raved. And began to realize when his children scolded, "Why ki, Mamak?"
He slowly released his emotions. Then examined the children, found wounds in the vagina and anus. On the night that seemed to go by slowly and long, he looked at his son sleeping. Confusion. Fatigue. He couldn't sleep until morning.
In the second week of October 2019, with her three children, Lydia went to the office of the Integrated Service Center for Women and Children Empowerment, East Luwu Social Service. In this unit, ideally, a person who complains of a violent case can get protection.
The Head of the Service Center Division, Firawati, received Lydia in a small partitioned room. Meanwhile, her three children are in the game facility in the unit. Lydia told Firawati about the chronology of her child's confession to being sexually abused by her own father. Firawati admitted that she knew the alleged perpetrator because she was "a fellow state civil servant."
Instead of prioritizing a safe room for Lydia and her three children, Firawati instead contacted the alleged perpetrator, reporting that there was a complaint regarding an alleged molestation case, so Lydia's ex-husband came to the Service Center office.
Firawati argued that the reason for bringing the alleged perpetrators together with the three children was to prove whether they were traumatized when they met their father. Firawati also argued that her actions were with Lydia's permission. "Right, fellow ASN. I want confirmation," he said.
"Do you know? All the children hunt to their father. Instead, his mother was abandoned. Even the children find it difficult to leave their father when called by their mother," said Firawati.
Lydia, when I repeated the claim of Firawati's story, listened to it and gaped.
“How could he talk like that? The first day I reported and asked for assistance to the police, but Firawati immediately called the [suspected] perpetrator when I came with the children,” said Lydia.
“After he called, he told me that I was teaching the children to slander the [suspected] perpetrator.”
"If I ever meet Firawati again, I want to see how she lies."
Not only were Lydia and her three children in a vulnerable situation when the alleged perpetrator came to them, her ex-husband immediately lashed out at Lydia for teaching her three children to complain, babbling that Lydia was incompetent to take care of the future of her three children.
The complaint provided no protection for Lydia, instead she was cornered, sent home to wait for further news.
The next day, Lydia and her three children were asked to come back to Firawati's office. From this process, the three children were psychologically examined by an officer from Puspaga, an acronym for the Family Learning Center, a work unit at the Integrated Service Center for the Empowerment of Women and Children. It was later discovered that the officer did not qualify as a child psychologist.
The examination resulted in a claim that Lydia's three children "showed no signs of trauma" and said "the relationship with the parents is quite considerate and harmonious" and that they are "in good physical and mental condition."
Firawati's act of bringing the three children together with their father--to check whether they were traumatized or not--and reinforced by a psychological examination that Lydia's children did not show any signs of trauma was later used by the East Luwu police to stop the investigation.
Handling at Polres Luwu Timur: 'I was forced by the police to sign the BAP'
Hoping to be accompanied by officers from the Integrated Service Center for the Empowerment of Women and Children, Lydia was finally alone when she reported the alleged sexual abuse case to the East Luwu Police. (Firawati from the Service Center reasoned that at that time she was in a meeting with the regional parliament, while other assistants were preparing to move their office.)
The police received Lydia's report on October 9, 2019. A female police officer took her three children to a health center for a post-mortem, without any assistance. Then, the three were questioned by uniformed investigators, without being accompanied by Lydia, legal counsel, social workers or psychologists.
Lydia was asked to sign the examination report (BAP) but was forbidden to read it first.
Five days later, the East Luwu Police notified the progress of the investigation results, reported that the report had been received and would be investigated by Aipda Kasman.
Lydia went to the police station to ask about the results of the post-mortem for her three children. At the same time, he also gave her a pair of pink panties that had blood on them on her own initiative.
On Friday, October 18, the police reported the results of the post-mortem from the Puskesmas and according to one investigator claimed “nothing was found.” On the same day, Lydia was interrogated by investigators without being accompanied by legal counsel.
“I was only asked about everyday problems. Then, the investigator said it would be continued. He will fill in the other part because he will pray Friday,” he said.
“I was asked to sign at the bottom of the report. I said I would sign later after this was continued. However, the investigators forced me. And I signed. Because it's noon and I want to go home to make food for the children."
"Well, I think now, I'm so stupid why I signed," said Lydia.
The following week, the East Luwu Police informed the development of the case; that investigators have interrogated Lydia, the alleged rapist, and three of the victim's children; have medically examined three child victims along with the results of visum et repertum; and the next plan is that the three children will be examined medically and psychologically at the South Sulawesi Police's Medical and Health Division (Biddokkes) in Makassar.
Victim's Mother's Mental Health Condition Used to Delegitimize Rape Reports
On October 28, one of Lydia's children complained of rectal pain. Lydia photographed some of the wounds. And, again on her own initiative on November 1, Lydia brought one pair of underwear with green liquid and one leggings with blood on it to the East Luwu Police.
A day later, police investigators contacted him if there would be an examination at the South Sulawesi Regional Police Biddokkes on November 6. At that time Lydia received threats from her ex-husband, the alleged rapist. The threat was that the alleged perpetrator would stop the monthly income for their three children if Lydia continued the examination process to Makassar.
Lydia with her three children, accompanied by one of her siblings, went to Bhayangkara Hospital Makassar. Here Lydia and her three children are taken to the waiting room of the mental clinic. His brother who brought him was also checked.
Inside the examination room were two doctors, an investigator, and a staff member of the East Luwu Women and Children Empowerment Center for Integrated Services.
During the examination of her three children, Lydia recorded secretly through a cellphone camera. His eldest child was seen on the lap of a Service Center staff who was sitting on a sofa. There was an investigator, a woman and a doctor in the examination room. The doctor then asked Lydia to leave the room.
During the examination of Lydia and her brother, they were asked about the family's mental health condition. Her brother was asked about Lydia's psychological condition since childhood and when she got married, did any family members have a history of mental disorders? When it was Lydia's turn, two doctors asked if they had any “disorders” before divorcing their ex-husband, as well as the condition of their household. The interview with Lydia only lasted 15 minutes.
The results of this psychiatric examination were published on November 11. Lydia is said to have "systematic delusional symptoms that suggest persistent delusional disorder."
On November 15, a physical examination letter for the three children was issued by the Forensic Biddokkes team of the South Sulawesi Police, which stated that there were no abnormalities or signs of physical violence against Lydia's three children.
The East Luwu Police then issued a letter notifying the progress of the investigation results on December 19. This letter refers to the investigation process and the trial on December 4. The letter contains the police's decision to stop the investigation process dated December 10, 2019, without any details on the consideration of termination.
"So the time span for reporting and stopping the investigation is only 63 days. This is very fast and we think it makes no sense. Moreover, this is a case of sexual violence where the victim is a child, why is the process rushed?” said Rezky Pratiwi, Head of the Division of Women, Children and Disabilities of the Makassar Legal Aid Institute.
Go to Makassar City to Get More Competent Access to Justice
At the end of December 2019, Lydia drove her own car with her three children from East Luwu to Makassar City. The journey took him 12 hours. This long and windy journey brought Lydia to the Makassar City Integrated Service Center for the Empowerment of Women and Children, where she hoped that justice would be granted to the victims.
Different from the handling in East Luwu, Lydia was given a referral to report her case to LBH Makassar. From here, LBH Makassar, through the Coalition for Legal Aid Advocacy for Sexual Violence against Children, became its legal advisor when the case was terminated by the East Luwu Police.
The Makassar City Service Center also provides psychological assistance to Lydia's three children. In his psychological report, through observation and interview methods, the three children “were not traumatized but were anxious” and all three of them consistently told and strengthened each other's stories of being sexually abused by their fathers.
Their story of being sexually assaulted, possibly more than one suspect, is consistent with what one victim told her mother when the investigation was being handled by the East Luwu Police. The victim's story is reinforced in the photos and videos that Lydia keeps, which depicts the physical abuse of her three children.
The police at the East Luwu Police and the South Sulawesi Police ignored the stories and evidence.
"At the Makassar City Service Center, child psychologists who examine children believe that sexual violence has occurred," said Rezky Pratiwi from LBH Makassar.
Pratiwi said that the East Luwu Police investigation process was "procedurally flawed" from the first post-mortem to the taking of information for each child.
Children should be accompanied by their parents as well as legal assistants, social workers or other assistants as mandated in Law 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System, he said.
"So the East Luwu resort police are very unprofessional," he said.
“The police are instead focusing on [Lydia's] mother, who is said to have other motives. The victim's mother was examined by a psychiatrist whose procedure was not proper. Information on children was not investigated and other witnesses were not examined to find new clues. For example, information from neighbors or people who know them,” said Pratiwi.
Polda Sulsel Supports Investigation Stopped
On December 26, 2019, LBH Makassar together with Lydia visited the South Sulawesi Regional Police and asked for a special case to stop the investigation at the East Luwu Police. Attached to the letter were photographs of the wounds to the anus and vagina of the three children.
Furthermore, on 10 and 13 February 2020, the legal team sent a letter to file a case, but there was no response. On February 19, the Head of Public Relations of the South Sulawesi Police, Kombes Pol. Ibrahim Tompo, even told the media that they had "conducted an internal case" and that the termination of the investigation was legal and according to procedure.
Then, on March 5, the South Sulawesi Police team informed LBH Makassar that a special case would be held on March 6, at 13.00, at the Polda office.
The sudden news made the legal advisors completely unprepared.
"The time is very short for preparation," said Rezky Pratiwi from LBH Makassar. "The child psychologist who accompanied the victim from the start was unable to attend because of the clash of activities."
On April 14, the results of the case study stated that the South Sulawesi Regional Police recommended that the East Luwu Resort Police continue to stop the investigation process into the sexual abuse report.
Urge Police Headquarters to Continue Investigation
On the second floor of the East Luwu Police Office, connected by a ladder, there is a room where Aipda Kasman, the investigator who handles the case of Lydia's children, works. Kasman boasts of his work, “We have done a post-mortem to forensics. Until there are results from his mother's psychiatrist."
"Can I read the copy?" ask me.
"I can't convey that because that's what we're holding," he smirks.
The so-called psychiatrist's results from the Bhayangkara Makassar Hospital, which are kept secret, are apparently considered "truth" by many people in East Luwu. That his mother is "crazy", is not a case of alleged rape that people talk about and remember. "We know about the case, but it's her crazy mother," one resident told me. "That's why the case is not continued."
During the interview session with Kasman, the investigator immediately sat nervously when I handed him the tape. He wanted to speak more openly after being allowed by his superior, East Luwu Criminal Investigation Unit Head, Iptu Eli Kendek.
“If it is stated that we are maladministration or administrative defects, that is the perception of LBH Makassar. But we still adhere to professional principles. We act according to the rules, according to the law,” he started the excuse.
"We have also clarified to all institutions that LBH Makassar has written to," he claimed.
LBH Makassar has sent a letter of complaint to a number of institutions in July 2020, including the National Police Commissioner, the Ombudsman, the Head of the South Sulawesi Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Service, the Luwu Regent, the Director of General Crimes at the National Police Headquarters Criminal Investigation Unit, and Komnas Perempuan.
To these institutions, Kasman claims, the East Luwu Police have clarified and "everything is safe."
Komnas Perempuan, in a letter of recommendation sent to Police Headquarters, Polda Sulsel, and Polres Luwu Timur, dated 22 September 2020, instead asked to resume the investigation of the criminal case.
The process, Komnas Perempuan wrote, "must fully involve parents, legal counsel, and social assistance for victims, provide safe house facilities, counseling, and other special facilities for women." Next, "The police need to coordinate with the Makassar City Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Service to facilitate these special needs."
This recommendation was precisely what the East Luwu Police did not do when handling complaints about the molestation case against Lydia's three children.
According to Rezky Pratiwi from LBH Makassar, the police and the East Luwu Service Center took sides with the alleged perpetrator. “If there is a child's testimony, it should start from there. First, dig up the supporting evidence.”
"It looks very biased. In other cases of sexual violence that we assist, the police are usually silenced. If this is the case, an administrative termination will be made.”
On one cold morning ride, Lydia sped off. Past the bend, overtook some trucks. Since the incident of sexual violence against her children, she has left her future home and preparation for old age.
He wanted to sell the house because he wanted to burn the bad memories. His children didn't want to see the house. The children refused and cried when Lydia asked to visit the house.
Lydia, gave me access to watch several videos on her cellphone that showed traces of the alleged violence of the alleged rapist. Some of the footage shows the injuries on the bodies of the children which made it difficult for me to see them through.
A few weeks after the abuse, her children complained of pain. At a puskesmas in East Luwu, Lydia asked for a referral letter to take her children to a hospital.
In the letter of reference was written a diagnosis of internal thrombosed hemorrhoids + child abuse. Damage to the anus due to forced intercourse.
Other diagnoses of abdominal and pelvic pain. Damage to the vaginal organs due to rape.
The next diagnosis is vaginitis or inflammation of the vagina and constipation or difficult bowel movements.
At the referral hospital, the children demonstrated what their father did after the doctor asked what caused the injuries to the anus and vagina.
The initial diagnosis, photo documentation and video recordings, as well as the results of the examination to the hospital were ignored by East Luwu Police investigators. The police did not take these violent findings seriously.
"If the police post-mortem results say that there were no injuries and nothing happened," said Lydia, "why did the police refuse when I wanted to give this photo and video? They said just keep it, there's no need for that."
“Then how come my child's buttocks and vagina are injured until they are swollen white like white flesh?
“Why do my children cry in pain every time they want to urinate and defecate? Why do my children say their father is a bad person and don't want to see him again now?”
“If the perpetrator is indeed innocent, why doesn't he come looking for his son, asking for clarification from the children?
"If people say this is slander, why are the children slandering their father like that?"
“If that question is not answered, will the police help find the answer?
No, right.*

Mentions of crime and Baizhu slander (but i love him, dw)
Other than that I dont think there should be anything too distressing :) please enjoy!
Liyue (Macdonalds):
- Ningguang is the store manager who doesnt care what her employees do as long as they do their job and there are profits
- Keqing tries to keep the order but its about as easy as keeping peace in a daycare but the daycare is full of teenagers capable of arson
- please help her its a macdonalds why is she taking this so seriously
- Chongyun and Xingqiu are always on shift together whether its in the kitchen or cashier. Noone questions how, only that Xingqiu has something to do with it, and chongyun knows nothing. But they do their job, so nobody really calls them out on it
- Zhongli used to work at the drivethru but then got demoted cause hed try to tell everyone the history of macdonalds and held up the line
- so now hes only allowed to fry the fries and not have any interaction with any customers
- similarly ganyu is banned from the kitchen cause she fell asleep in the freezer once and noone noticed until the next morning so shes either at the counter or drivethru
- Xiangling is great at her job and can be stationed anywhere in the kitchen but oh my god please its illegal to put those ingredients in the salad no xiangling stop
- the food ends up good so noone complains but...when the monthly inspection comes..shes put off work for about a week until it passes over
- Hu tao is....hu tao. She once got an order wrong on purpose as a prank but then was brought to the break room for a 'talk' by Zhongli for 5 hours and she never did it again
- tho she does occasionally prank people by saying the ice cream machine is down followed by "dadada!! Youve been pranked!!"
- only she finds this funny and there have been several complaints to Keqing, much to her dismay (definition of "disappointed, but not surprised")
- why did ningguang even hire beidou she isnt even here half the time or she shows up half drunk
- even on the days she shows up sober...everyone can see that hip flask, ma'am,, but understandable, customers are a nightmare
- Xiao dresses as ronald macdonald and hates his job but zhongli was the  one who recommended this job so he refuses to quit
- he would be fine with it if the children werent so loud and a certain kfc employee didnt come in everyday to laugh and take pictures of him
-Xinyan is one of those really loud and enthusiastic cashiers and after she talks to you you feel really heated inside (like an adrenaline rush after a concert)
- whether its good or bad depends on the customer..
- but shes lowkey banned from the kitchen due to her trying to make everything higher temperatures ("itll cook faster") and almost burning the entire macdonalds down
- man we dont know much about yanfei yet but for now she sits at the ball pit or those children play areas and make sure nothing is blown up (looking at you klee) and rules are followed
- Qiqi has a questionable memory, has to be put in charge of similar tasks or its too much for her, so she counts stocks and reports back, under the scrutiny of baizhu, who orders said ingredients
- as for who moves the boxes, well thats where beidou comes in cause sickly green twink man cant lift for HIS LIFE
- overall its a nice place with some oddities here and there but the business prospers and surprisingly stuff gets done
Extras:
Banned from kitchen:
Ganyu
Xinyan
Beidou (Drunk)
Banned from interaction:
Zhongli
Bonus:
- Childe works at a shneznayan Starbucks (with the other harbingers) and used to show up through the drivethru in a fancy ass sports car and still in his work uniform to see zhongli and flirt through the speaker, even if hes muffled and zhongli doesnt understand what hes saying (he was also one of the reasons the line was constantly held up)
- but now that zhongli is in the back he just shows up through the front door every break that he has and makes himself at home in their breakroom (after 2 hours or so scaramouche comes to drag him back because hes STILL on shift)

endogenic plural here. not very open about our experiences anywhere since it doesn't really concern other people, pretty much everything that contributes to us identifying as such is of our internal, subjective experience. but when the subject does come up, that's how we would refer to ourselves.
you posted a question about why endogenics would feel so strongly about not being formed by trauma. our main blog has nothing to do with plurality and doesnt even mention that theres more than one of us, so it felt more fitting to send an ask about it. you don't need to publish this, or respond or anything. but we still wanted to send in a genuine answer to the question.
the reason we specifically always include the "endogenic" (not formed by trauma) is to differentiate our experiences from anyone who does have a dissociative disorder as the basis of their system. it's there to show that we dont have the right to speak for those people and have a very different experience overall. what we have is not at all like DID and ideally we should not be associated.
and then in the middle of writing this i did have this breakthrough. perhaps what it happening to me and the rest of my crew could come from trauma. i have no way to know for sure since we have had trauma in our childhood. i'd like to think that it's not that, since our experiences don't really line up with DIDOSDD. we remember our trauma and don't feel detached from it for starters. we don't really have any of the characteristics that would protect us in any reasonable way. so if it turned out that it was still a result of that, i would mostly be confused? and not everyone here shares this sentiment either. i know at least one of us feels very strongly against the idea of being a result of trauma and as far as i understand it, this is something we will have to work through.
the biggest deal here still is that we want to differentiate our experiences from people with DIDOSDD since what we have very clearly do not line up and we believe that pretending they did would only serve to harm both ourselves and your community.
but while we absolutely do not want to talk over people who suffer from these disorders, we still have lived like this for a long time (8 years since we first actually noticed it, presumably it's been going on for even longer than that) and it feels unfair to say that it's just "nothing" or "imaginary". we can't really stop being plural, we have tried multiple times and it doesn't work. i am too much of a person to just disappear because someone else said they don't want me around anymore, and as far as i can tell, it's the same for the others too. i can pretend that there's no one else here but at some point i will no longer be here and at that point it's very difficult to pretend anything (also known as impossible). and like, with how spread out our time in control is, it would be kind of difficult to even tell who would be the "real" one if the rest of us were "fake".
when you take this into account, you can maybe kind of tell why we would prefer to have some word for our experiences when we do talk about them. 'endogenic' fits that, and we have found out that we do share a lot in common with other people who use that term when it comes to experiences. that being said, our exposure in the endogenic community has been carefully curated and limited to spaces that align with us, that don't want to enroach on the spaces of those who do have those disorders, and we are aware that there are also many people who would not share these views. we just have not had the displeasure to encounter anyone like that yet, aside from the syscourse tag which is where we found this blog.
-the gp crew (sunny)
I actually really respect that, what pisses me off is when people act like it's "DID but only the fun bits." I hope you figure yourself out and make peace with it, hope you have a nice day!
