#but I liked the characters even before the adoptions
Text
Man the more I think about it, the more I REALLY wish Durge could be a companion. It would be so cool to have a dragonborn companion, and just...see what Durge is canonly like.
Also I really want to see my Tav adopt Durge!
And it would allow you to see all of the Durge story stuff while playing your Tav!!
I really don't know why Durge is a Storm Sorcerer though? It just doesn't suit his character to me... (I don't know how well white dragonborn suits him either. Cold breath? I think there are better options, though I WILL say that he LOOKS cool AF as a white dragonborn!) I would probably have him as a rogue, barbarian or fighter (or even Oath of Vengeance Paladin!) if we didn't already HAVE companions of those classes please ignore the double druids but I could see him as a Monk if relying on unused classes! (Btw my Sorcerer subclass of choice would be Draconic for funny reasons)
Maybe it could be cool if Durge was multitalented before losing his memory and he could ask for advice as to what path to follow, allowing him to fill any role depending on what you needed. But he himself prefers to be up close and personal, approving if he got asked to be a more martial class (he would also approve if asked to be a sorcerer, implying he already knew he had those powers but would just...not use them lmao).
I feel like as a companion his approval would be a bit... weird. He's typically very reserved and cautious, but approves a LOT of you suddenly commit acts of violence (also pushes him towards indulging). But approves a bit if you use guile to avoid violence (pushes him to resist). Disapproves of chaos and often scolds chaotic party members (Astarion, Karlach to a lesser degree) even though he may laugh at their antics. Durge rarely responds to acts of kindness, but responds well to kindness to children (subconsciously reminds him of his foster parents). Mostly he approves of practicality, intelligence and ambition. He'd likely have interesting conversations with Gale about that, get along well with Minthara in general. I feel in my soul that Durge has chronic headaches because of Karlach (not because he doesn't like her, but because she mentions Gortash, and it hurts to think when he can't quite remember). I imagine he has a lot of thoughts that he doesn't act on. (Also I highkey think he'd sleep with Astarion at some point if neither are romanced. Listen... Astarion is dead, guys. He's a corpse that can consent)
If I were to write a companion!Durge story I would show him as canonly killing Quil instead of Alfira simply because it's a unique character and allows you to finish Alfira's quest AND get Durge Action (also I like the idea of her hitting on him). I think there could be some dramatic changes to the scene depending on how high his approval is, and how many times he's been encouraged to indulge (if he has high approval and has been resisting the whole time, he'll outright confess to having killed her, confused and terrified. If you've been encouraging his urges he'll take pleasure in it, it's possible to have a version where he blames Astarion, which Tav could pass a check to point out how nonsensical that is lmao)

Question: How exactly did you come to be part of the Conservative/Libertarian/Anti-Prog/Socialist side of Tumblr? In my experience a lot of the time people on the “Right” (for lack of a better term) that Leftists would consider part of the Progressive Stack were originally Leftists themselves before having a “redpill” moment that led to them leaving the cult. So I was wondering if you came to a similar realization or if you always held the principles you do now. Just out of curiosity. :)
Kind of both?
It happened really young for me. I was 16 or so and very firmly in my Hot Topic Goth phase so my first real exposure to politics were things like NOFX's War on Errorism album and Rock Against Bush and things people in my group were saying and I just adopted those ideas without thinking about them. I ended up making some joke to my dad about how stupid Bush was expecting him to laugh, but he didn't. He just kind of went silent (probably having a "oh no, my son is a dumb liberal" moment XD) which was very out of character for him. Growing up my dad was one of my best friends, and I really looked up to him and respected his opinion about things, so realizing that he didn't agree with my blind Bush hate was a huge wakeup call. As silly as it sounds, that was the first time I realized normal, non-evil people had different opinions than my friends and the bands I like. It not only got me questioning my own beliefs on politics and current events, but it's also indirectly what made me realize that even outcast groups had their own cliques and conformity requirements. Since then I've been refining my beliefs and really thinking about why I support the things I do instead of just supporting them because everyone around me is.
But ever since then I've mostly found myself on the right. The only thing that's really changed has been me getting more libertarian as I've gotten older.

Gods/Titans x Reader: Birthday Gift Headcanons
Characters: Shinnok, Raiden, Fujin, Liu Kang, Shang Tsung, Cetrion, Kronika
A/N: Not me forgetting Shang Tsung was a Titan in the last one I did like this, *cough cough*. This is a lot fluffier than my usual content, enjoy!
TW: Nothing really, aside from maybe an implied yandere with a few characters.
18+ to interact.
Shinnok
Likely doesn't know when your birthday is, nor does he care to ask. He's existed since before the concept of time, so what's another year around the sun supposed to mean to him? You’ll accidentally tell him about your birthday too, thinking out loud while he's around. Like, “oh it's my birthday today” or “I wonder if my birthday's coming up.” To which, he'll scoff and ask why you care about such a thing. Mortals and their customs have always irked him to no end.
For that reason, you shouldn't expect a gift or anything special when your b-day does roll around. If Shinnok wishes to treat you he'll do it any day out of the year. And his treats are rare, so I recommend appreciating them when they come.
If Shinnok was to buy you a gift, he'd consider his tastes more than your own. So that means receiving items he likes and you may not enjoy. This includes: literature in an unknown language, skulls or other trophies from his enemies, overly ornate jewelry or clothing, and even a fresh soul for decoration or consumption. Be sure to smile and thank him even if the present is… Undesirable. It'll save you some pain and maybe he'll get you something better next time.
Raiden
He hasn't asked when your birthday is simply to be polite. But, you'll likely tell Raiden at some point and he'll never forget the day. Like most characters on this list, he doesn't have a birthday himself to celebrate. He understands how important it is to mortals however, and will make an effort to impress you.
Raiden may not get you a gift for your birthday though. It's not because he doesn't care, but because he'd rather not incite rumors or other speculations in his followers. This is especially true if your relationship is secret or even forbidden. It pains him, but he binds himself to a certain standard for good reason. It's only if he became Dark Raiden, or if your relationship was open/public would he offer you a present.
Raiden isn't very much “in-touch” with mortals, so he would also base a gift on his preferences. He enjoys things that enrich the mind and offer more perspective on the world. Some examples are: classical literature/philosophy, historical records or artifacts, spiritual aids such as incense or other herbs, and potentially a jar of Jinsei only if you have max trust with him.
Fujin
He asks you about your birthday, and like his brother he doesn't forget. While he doesn't have a birthday either, he likely adopts a fake one just to connect with humans. So, he knows the importance of your b-day and will ponder what to give you months ahead of time.
He's the first of the characters here to consider your preferences over his own. He'll ask you a lot of probing questions to find out your likes, but he's rather smooth about it so you won't know the intent behind it. He also observes you and learns more about your hobbies, while also doing a little bit of research on them to see what would make a good present.
The type of gift he offers is dependent on you, but he'll aim for something affordable yet memorable. It's worth noting that he may also invest in an experience such as going to a certain city or place. For your birthday Fujin would like to take you to a local restaurant, see a movie or some form of theater, or bring you something you've always wanted.
Also, please give this man a gift for his fake birthday. He will appreciate it.
Liu Kang
He should have an idea of when you were born due to him crafting your destiny. But, he makes sure to ask so you're not surprised about him knowing when your birthday is. His god-like memory won't allow him to forget your birthday, and he plans ahead for it a crisp 11 months in advance. He needs the time, considering all of the duties on his plate.
Like Raiden, offering you a gift on your birthday may cause jealousy in the Wu Shi Academy. The last thing Liu Kang wants is for his subordinates to suspect he has some kind of favoritism towards you. However, he has little problem with your relationship being public if you're dating. So, if you're in a relationship with him you'll get a gift. If not, he'll just say “happy birthday" and recommend you take the day off.
He’s considerate of your tastes when scrounging up a present. At the same time, if he feels that giving you what you want would enable bad habits, (ex: behavioral addictions or an unhealthy lifestyle) then he'll resort to a more generic gift. Some examples include: birthday/gift card, baked goods, potted plant or gardening seeds, and candles.
Shang Tsung
He knows your birth date, home address, and banking information before you've even met him. He enjoys thoroughly researching his prey before acting, so he knows all the little details of your life. And once he's wrapped you around his little thumb, you happily spill to him when your birthday is.
His gift is determined by your relationship with him. If he's in the early stages of wooing you, then he'll get whatever you love. His budget is the most lenient out of anyone here, so if you want something on the more expensive side you'll get it. He can be far too lavish with it as well, easily spending thousands of dollars to get what you desire. Of course, he'll keep reassuring you that such a paltry amount is nothing if it's for you…
If he has you under his control already, then he just gets a gift that will please him. He sees you as a little trophy to show off and tease all the time, so you can imagine what his gifts would be like. Fine silks, opulent jewelry, fancy furniture for you to lay on… If the gift is anything that visually stimulates him and shows off his power then he'll offer it to you.
Cetrion
She knows when your birthday is because she is nigh omnipresent. However, unlike everyone else in this list, she likely won't be able to spend time with you on your birthday. Cetrion would observe you from afar, in Heaven, unless you've already died or she's gained her freedom from Kronika. Still, that doesn't mean she won't do something special for your birthday.
Cetrion has to be a bit sneaky when giving you a gift. While other Gods have to worry about their mortal followers getting angry, she has to worry about the wrath of Elder Gods and a Titan. But, she's been playing this game for a long, long time. She has her methods of getting one or two things past without their notice.
Cetrion's gift involves her powers. She may grow a large and beautiful tree in your yard overnight. Or (especially if you garden) find all of your plants blooming and thriving. If there's a particular animal you've really wanted as a pet, it'll show up practically on your doorstep -begging you to adopt it. Alternatively, you may just wake up with a power you've never had, wondering when in the hell were you able to talk to animals or had a green thumb.
Kronika
She probably cares the least about a birthday, second to only her son Shinnok maybe. But unlike him, she's far more considerate of you once you're in a relationship. If you want to celebrate the passage of time, so be it.
She sees herself as an artisan in a way, and would likely craft you a gift utilizing her powers. By the end of it, you may end up with a powerful artifact on the levels of Shinnok's Amulet or a Kamidogu. Naturally, whatever object she creates will be imbued with the power of time. Speeding up time, stopping time, reversing time -as long as it relates to chronokinesis she'll create it.
And although she'll put time (literally) and effort into a present, her most important gift to you would be her presence. She'll want to hang out with you like normal, simply enjoying each other's company and voice. Kronika makes for a surprisingly good partner on your b-day. She's swayed many people to her side and for good reason -she considers other people's thoughts and desires. Of course, this is all assuming you didn't break her heart.

What could it be?
Apparently, Star Wars Holocron (@sw_holocron) recently posted a picture of Omega on Twix with a caption saying they'd seen the next episode of The Bad Batch and it features their favorite line of dialogue in the entire series.
Intriguing, most intriguing...
With Episode 14 leading into the grand finale, I cannot help but hope that some version of these words will come out of Omega's mouth: "Tech's alive!"
And before someone hits me over the head with my brightly colored clown shoe, allow me to add:
In Star Wars Rebels, we knew they wouldn't be the ones to stop the Empire, but they were able to save Lothal from the Empire's grip, and wipe Thrawn and his Tie Defender plan off the table. This was a huge blow to the Empire and ultimately lost them the war. I'm still beyond salty about Kanan's death and Ezra not being there to savor the victory, but this outcome was pretty much inevitable with them being Jedi and what Yoda says in the OT. On a happier note, everyone else in the Ghost family survived to continue the fight, with Jacen Syndulla's birth an unexpected bonus. In other words, the finale was not a bloodbath with main characters dying right and left. (BTW, a gentle reminder that the ending of Season 3 of The Mandalorian was downright cheerful what with Grogu and his adopted dad hanging out peacefully on their new homestead.)
With this in mind, is it delulu to anticipate a similar bittersweet finale for The Bad Batch? Yes, we know they can't stop the rising Empire, but as others on this hellsite have theorized, reuniting ALL the members of their squad/family after being separated over and over again since the first episode would be a precious personal victory even if they must endure the loss of any regular clone colleagues in the attack on Tantiss.
This season focused a lot on Crosshair's redemption, which definitely required this time and care to make his return believable. As for Tech, it seems many out there think he has to be fully un-brainwashed by the end of the finale if he's to be revealed alive as CX-2. But can't the Batch simply find this out and take him away (willingly or not) during the attack to help the prisoners escape? At the end of Rebels, we weren't sure what happened to Ezra, but there was hope that he'd be found based on the epilogue.
In similar fashion, even if Tech's mental condition is ambiguous at the end of TBB finale, at least the audience and the Batch squad are left with hope that he can be restored to his true self as much as is still possible because now the brothers and Omega are fully reunited come what may. Who knows, maybe there will be an Rebels-like epilogue that helps explain more about the Batch's outcome, along with the aftermath of Tantiss, such as the clone uprising, and any long term impact on Project Necromancer.
For now, just being a spectacled spectator with two more episodes that will prove me right or vewy vewy wrong...
#the bad batch#the bad batch spoilers#speculation#no bloodbatch please#can they just be happy and reunited for 5 freakin minutes#tech#cx-2#all signs point to yes

Candour of Light and Shadows
Quest Started
I still think
Some people were born a shadow.
"ーHappy birthday, sweetheart!"
"Thanks, mama!"
"May Lady Tsaritsa bless my little snowflake so he grows up big and healthy... And may She protect you from all dangers and surround you with love and happiness!"
"..... Mama, what about-"
"Hold on, darling."
Every year, instead of burning candles, I burn the memories of you.
Every year, instead of huddling in front of a warm fireplace, I relive the memories of the icy grave you call home.
Every year....
I wonder.
Why didn't you just di̴̖̊ë̷̻͙́̒̿̆ that day?
Why did the gods pity you when your own blood couldn't care less?
Why you? Why me? Why us?
I dare not defy the fate bestowed upon me. This is the role we were bestowed with. The second option. The second best. The supporting role.
The shadow.
....
But maybe....
........
Just... maybe.
.............
Maybe all this time, I've been tricking myself, thinking I was undeserving. Of the spotlight. Of the warm fireplace. Of..... a home.
“....”
“Wha....?”
“Happy birthday, Cov!!”
“My my, did we catch you off-guard so much you were about to unsheathe your sword?”
“Ah... I'm..... sorry.......”
“It's fine, it's fine. More importantly, do you like chocolate cakes? I had no idea what kind of cake you'd like but since you love hot chocolate and cookies, I thought you'd like themー”
“......”
“Cov?”
“...........”
“Thank you.”
Maybe one day, I'll be able to feel truly worthy of this.
......
I guess…. Just for today, I can be the light.

A sizeable chunk of the fanbase (especially those who read the webtoon) seeing Collei in 3.0: aw thank goodness she’s doing well and even has two dads who are in love :)
Hoyoverse half a year later, writing Cyno and Tighnari into an event that in-game half of Mondstadt considers a lovers’ festival: shit shit shit shit shit we have to no-homo this
#edit: STOP LIKING THIS POST. LET IT DIE.#edit cont: tumblr will hide my creative posts from the tags but the comment I don’t want to spread gets in immediately. typical :/#????????????#not sure whether to take this at face value#bc there is a very long history of writers pausing mid-story to be like ‘uhh forget all the chemistry we’ve written up to now. obviously#these characters are close because they’re like ~brothers~ or ~sisters~’ and then go back to exactly what they were doing before#and never mentioning that again#so I’m reserving judgement until I see how things play out in more events#hyv has written characters who are siblings or who consider each other siblings or family before and they’ve been pretty clear about them#from the beginning. kaeya’s character stories explain that he and diluc are adopted siblings and shenhe’s demo before she was even released#says ‘surprise! she’s related to chongyun!’#this tidbit feels way late and honestly reads to me like a retroactive censor dodge. anyway#I played act 1 and was like ‘oh hee hee cynonari and their daughter collei :)’ and then act 2 came along#and re: windblume like. the lore says some celebrate it as a festival of gratitude#and windblume 1 showed it could be a festival for family as well (barbara kaeya and diluc in the montage cutscene)#so I would assume there’d be enough ambiguity for them like with jeanlisa in windblume 1#but I guess not??#pika’s ramblings#genshin#genshin impact

obsessed with @idrellegames so i’m adding to the pile of drawings of people’s wayfarers (alongside some tiny sketches n doodles) !! genuinely one of the best written IFs i’ve had the chance to play, and an amazing beautiful UI as well ❤️
#wayfarer#melchior larkspur#aeran kellis#rhys aviv#my art#dunno if its obvious BUT.... rhys is just a beta version of laila ....#and the name is just two names i was considering before i just lost my patience and made the candidates for his first name his full name....#he was going to be my second mb button but i ended up changing my mind and he has since been absorbed into the general oc gang#specifically as laila's twin LOL#he has gold eyes here but in usual canon he's got his father's eyes ..#not seen here is the insane adoption of the wiseman family as my own ocs as i forcibly pry them away from mb canon#cause i kept hcing random stuff into my wiseman family like 'oh i think asha would do this' etc etc up until i realised like#these arent even the same characters anymore. ofc then it sort of spiralled into a pride and prejudice au bc i was watching bridgerton#but i digress im rambling a lot about an IF that isnt even wayfarer in the tags#BUT SERIOUSLY completely blown away by wayfarer#aeran kellis i need to bill you my psychiatrist bills FR FR#and i've got a bunch of moments i want to draw ARGGHHHHH .#sorry for the wall of tags everybody . just close ur eyes

this is truly just because its my favorite trope but tai lung and tigress were literally like only a couple of years away from being tragic siblings
#i dont blog about this movie very often but it is literally so fucking good#listen the bridge fight is already a perfect scene but i want them to be tragic siblings so badly. the dynamic.#all the new layers of the dialogue. tigress never living up to tai lung in shifu's eyes tigress wanting to be the dragon warrior SO BADLY#and the part where tai lung is like. not even momentarily convinced it might be her#the character parallels that ALREADY EXIST......#listen if tigress was literally only a couple years older. or if the timeline was rearranged JUST SLIGHTLY.#if she got adopted before tai lung's attack on the valley literallywe could have had it all#mine#animation#kung fu panda#rory rambles about movies

Throwing my hat in the relationship chart ring. 1bit/beat charts credit to @//likesaly and @///silvercrane14, if this bothers either of you please let me know so I can delete it!
1bit relationship spaghetti breakdown:
Platonic
Romantic
Familial
Negative
#Also feel free to ask for elaboration on anything#pieceofcake.txt#Saying Koza is related to the cats is weird but I didn't want to put “pseudo-familial” for Merue and Shitsuna so whatever#adoptive family is family(cats count)#Replaced the close friends line with respect but in hindsight 'friends' could range anywhere from besties to#spoke a couple of times and got along pretty well. Oh well#the 1bit one in particular's timeline is wonky because I don't think a lot of these characters would know each other /during/ 1bit but that#it also leaves out a lot of relationships that would have formed by the timeskip/relationships that would've developed and changed by then#Was tempted to add the main characters to the 1beat chart but(if my 1bit chart wasn't apparent enough) I'm very flippant about how#I want the main character relationships to go#There wouldn't be much change tbh. More of them would be friends maybe.#I did say Izuchi was familiar with the Blue Sun trio to an extent but I lied#which is to say I forgot that they said Blue Sun College of Music and not just a general college#Going to run with it having other branches in the area so maybe he's /heard/ of them or has even watched them perform before#But they're not like schoolmates or anything#I kind of want Sora to be friends with the cats because he shares a va with one of them but I have no idea what circumstances#would lead to them meeting#Also intrapersonal relationships between the fatcats but I haven't decided on those#Got a little too silly with the ''dislike'' lines for Sora and just ended up opting to remove them entirely#they're there in spirit though

Thinking about the time i commissioned an artist i rly liked for something and the result was kind of really catastrophic just from the preview image in the email so i just. never opened the actual image
#i dont even know where it is#honestly ive had such bad luck commissioning art of adri that ive completely given up its like an anomaly#thunderclap#fan art my lovely followers and friends have done for me for free: literally the most swagful things ive ever seen#actual for real honest to god art i have paid real money for: worlds most inconceivably off model take#the only exception to this is when ive commissioned my friends themselves#i know this is a mean spirited post usually i dont mind like creative liberty I usually say yeah feel free to interpret my characters freel#but like. sometimes its not remotely the same character#thinking still about the uh. the art i got from [popupar twitter artist] in exchange for one of my adopts instead of them paying money#and they like. did it so off model they just made a whole new guy. the art? yeah it slaps obviously. but thats not my oc 😭#congratulations thats the worst anyones ever done it!!#this is something i personally try not to do when i do commissions too unless very explicitely stated. 'do your own take'#and also i make sure that the sketch is on-model and the client is happy etc etc#i dont know what it is about some artists where they just go ouuhhh what if i . redesigned ur oc for u. HUH#anyway thats all i gottta say this is a weird post but i think about it a lot#before you ask no im not gonna name names. this is my own personal beef

#the PROBLEM is. some properties I like I cannot even talk about my Criticisms™ because if I do it attracts people whose side I am NOT on#like in the case of a certain british procedural show adopting old mystery novels that went on hiatus a lot. I did not like season 4.#but that is not because The Ship didn't go canon and it CERTAINLY wasn't because I never thought any of the show was good in#the first place. and I don't like The Main Ship of the c-chibs era but it's because the way it was written was VERY much not for me.#it's not because I think the whole era is trash (that ship was really the ONLY part of it I didn't like I loved everything else)#I DO have beef with some of the choices in season 8 of The Gritty Deconstruction Fantasy Show but they sure weren't ANY of the issues#that anyone else had!!! and I don't think it retroactively ruined the whole show actually!!!!!#like it's just so frustrating. especially since sometimes I DO want to break down what I consider to be unfortunate writing choices.#and I DO want to complain sometimes! but so much of the discussion around various properties is taken up by me just.#trying to explain that I'm allowed to like it in the first place and defending why I don't think it's Unconditionally Bad#so I can't ever like. for example. discuss the deaths in 8x03 and my issues with THOSE as character endpoints#or why they killed mary and had her husband act terribly to her for no reason just before she died#or how shitty it was in the last era for me to see ANOTHER character be mentally ill but in the most unobtrusive palatable way possible#(and then also make that really weird comment about a previous love interest??? who WAS unpalatable in many ways--though not like.#canonically mentally ill. even if I and many other people are drawn to that interpretation.)#perHAPS I want to talk about my confusion over the story's handling of j/d for reasons that are not 'I hate these characters' or#'that's pRoBLeMaTiC and you shouldn't ship it because that's pRoBLeMaTiC'#maybe I WILL just make a 4-hour video essay unpacking all my Thoughts™ on that show. because people don't have to watch it!#they could just hit the back button!

also this is spoilers but i saw this on reddit and now i must scream about it sooooo spoilers for the end of wyll's romance maybe idk
okay tbh i cant confirm if this is true cuz i havent even beaten the game yet HA but people wouldnt lie on the internet right.... but anyways i saw that someone said one of wyll's romance endings is that he becomes a duke and you guys get MARRIED omg... and it has been on my mind all day and now im having very intense aza/wyll thoughts but mostly aza though aha
listen. just. just listen. okay. picturing aza going from a painfully awkward and socially inept crypt keeper living underground among the dwarves and the deceased, to the wife of the charismatic, renowned grand duke of baldur's gate, UGH. learning to socialize properly with nobility, learning how to maintain small talk, adjusting to the sheer size of their estate, free of cold drafts and water leaks. and the SUNLIGHT? the way it shines through the windows every morning, to remind her another day has come? and how much more comfortable the beds are when they're made of fur and feathers, not stone. and the way she's obviously very out of place, especially as a tiefling living among the upper echelon of baldur's gate, i'm sure she sticks out like a sore thumb. i'm sure she's turned lots of heads while incessantly infodumping about the best way to preserve a dead body, not yet understanding that nobility often aren't fixated on such things the same way she is lol. she's still a little weird and unsettling and unsure of how to handle herself in such a new environment, but hey... it's a lot more fun learning the nuance of courtly dance than it is trying to get a wriggly tadpole out of your head! she'll take the fright of social anxiety over that any day.
anyways. dies
#bg3 spoilers#off topic but i wish bg3 wouldnt force your character to be baldurian#because i created aza with my friend for his dnd campaign and shes not from baldurs gate! shes from a place called understone#which is a dwarven city. idk if thats a 'canon' dnd city or a city my friend made up but#aza was raised among the dwarves. her father was a dwarf who adopted her named fodmock thunderbeard#he was the crypt keeper of the city of understone before passing away. then aza took over#and obviously i dont expect bg3 to get every detail on my oc's backstory right dafhjoiarejgfiretg but there could be something more yk#than forcing your characters to be from bg! like even really vague options i would be satisfied with#if anything id like really vague options more bc it could act as a guidance for new players who struggle w coming up w backstories#like me lol#idk i just think thats a weird oversight! so let it be known aza doesnt know shit about the city#aza is the equivalence of a country girl in my heart. shes like the breanna of my bg3 universe#very silly and very very autistic

message to all kids without paypal who wish they could buy commissions one day you will become an adult with a job and paypal and you can in fact buy the commissions and it will be wonderful but watch out
#vibrates excitedly though. just found someone for a sorta bigger project (ref sheet) and i am so. [yayyyyyy dolphin pic]#not even mad about how much extra im working in the coming week bc i want to. buy images#actually when i was a kid i still bought a lot of art though..it was just thru virtual currency#bc i drew furry shitttttt...and made adoptables and stuff but i didnt have paypal#so i would have people pay me with the sites virtual currency and id exchange it for the paid membership tier + buy art from other people#that was kind of a good system tbh...i miss how that site was before wix fucked it up#(deviantart)#(would you believe im nostalgic for deviantart. i just miss the older internet)#but anyway now that im getting back into making ocs a bit im just like oh yeah. money can be exchanged for pictures of guys#ill probably force myself to get better at drawing people at some point... maybe...#im just not as motivated towards doing character illustration as i was when i was younger i like different art now that im in college

having ttw Thoughts while reading house of leaves but it's nothing that's lead to a breakthrough yet so i'm just like soaking in the vibes
#ttw's been in limbo for the past few months. as it is wont to do really#there's a lot of nebulous connective tissue that's currently the middle of the story and it needs more direction but nothing has really bee#particularly exciting for my brain to gnaw on#also honeybee's been my brain's Focus for the past few months so it's not like i'm twiddling my thumbs with nothing to write#but yeah house of leaves and ttw it's like. okay the House super parallels what i want of the undertow as this like. nebulous structure#that's kind of alive on its own and doesn't adhere to any actual expectations of space#(the undertow is like. the semi-literal bowels of the city of sanguine)#and i knew that going in to the story that it was going to be similar so that's somethign that's sparking some things#but also the main character. one of the mains idk how to even articulate that. main narrator i think.#anyways he reminds me of leon as someone who doesn't have much going for him being super fucking susceptible prey of sorts for this...nebul#ous entitiy#not to mention my thoughts on the city of sanguine as like how a city is given life by its denizens. and that interpretation of the city-#affects how the undertow manifests for different people#and how it (sanguine) wants people to stay but will happily let you go if it knows you'll come right back to it#but if you want to Leave it'll happily trap you in endless corridors for ever and ever#and serena being the only one of the main cast who was born and raised in the city and therefore has such a deep connection to it before#yknow. realizing it's Alive in a way#vs the rest of the cast who have all moved to the city and don't see sanguine the same#vs leon too who has absolutely adopted this city as their home and what that means#oh that is a Tag Ramble hello#rambles#thicker than water

speaking of cassidy i've finally fixed the problem that i had with his story before
#personal#i initially wrote that ryu (his adoptive father) dies but for some reason it didn't feel right anymore that cassidy just#doesn't have any family left. like i tried to give him a character arc about finding peace with what he Does have#but the thing is that he's had so little for such a long fucking time of his life that it just didn't feel right to me for him to like#find peace in that. find closure with it. because he wouldn't. to be honest. but i didn't want to give him that burden to carry#so ryu survives :^) and he reunites with cassidy much much later in the storyline so there IS still a bunch of years where like#cassidy believes that he's dead but ryu is just being held captive instead. by the gang he used to be a part of#it's been a hot sec since i've yelled about cassidy here but he is still so important to me btw if you even care#and now he gets to reunite with his dad and it's so!!!! ough!!!! because cassidy was never supposed to make it that far!!!!!#the doctors all thought he would die before he would make it to 30 and ryu would've been so scared#but now he gets to see his son all grown up and happy. and loved by so many. married even. explodes
