ISEN HEADCANKNS PLES
OKAY OKAY OKAY HEYAYAHAHHSHS
OKAY SO
amab genderfluid, pronouns are the opposite of whoever he's dating. (and since i love isemi, this means his pronouns are he/him to me sjsjsn).
if he was dating blyke isen's pronouns would be she/her or she/they bc blyke uses he/they to me
if isen is dating both blyke and remi, hed use they/them or she/he depending on what he wants
if hes dating someone who uses they/them or neopronouns hed use they/them
if hes dating two ppl using she/her and someone using he/him he'd also use he/him to even it out
considering them using edith when fem purely bc i love the name but that's probably not realistic
not out as genderfluid tho, he doesnt come out until the summer after his high school senior year
pansexual !
absolute simp
tbh too much horny but we'll pretend isen has rights and isnt horny on main
natrual hair color isnt orange OR black. its BROWN. which still means isen made the conscious choice to Both bleach and not bleach his hair. we wont talk about it
lots of moles (tbh sometimes i forget this one)
knows everything about everyone ever. you cannot get past him im sorry but u just cant. u think u have blackmail on him? try again
if not for the fact that he is afraid of him isen could have oneshot killed arlo by digging up Something about him
smh isen could have been calling the shots the joker arc could have been avoided all together
BUT NO
anyway moving on 😁
dog person as in he would own a dog but cat person as in his personality is more like a cat
overdramatic as fuck. would have been a theatre kid if not for his stage fright
speaking of frights, has clinical anxiety that quite often physically prevents him from doing things
but he shakes a lot bc of it so now he has a higher muscle mass 🤷
(yes this^ is a real thing you can ask me about it if youd like)
PERFECT LIAR AND ACTOR. IF HE DOESNT WANT YOU TO KNOW HES ACTING OR LYING, YOU WONT. IT DOESNT MATTER WHO YOU ARE
has way too many secrets and is also excellent at keeping secrets
also good at telling when ppl are lying or acting, takes one to know one yk
honestly he could have a fantastic villain arc but unfortunately (or fortunately?) his morals do not align that way
when he is fully grown he ends up as 6'2 idc idc
also has long hair when he grows up and its usually in a bun
hard to make him full actually angry, and its not a pretty sight
daydreams to cope
clinical ADHD but doesnt take meds for it
meme and vine encyclopedia but doesnt know shit about anything on tiktok
knows too much about random bullshit but still couldnt tell you remi or blykes birthday he has to have a calendar reminder a week before
would probably run some kind of gossip page because he just wants to know shit. call that irl lore
never knows whats going on in the moment but knows why its happening. he knows the lore not the actual story
once went to a halloween party dressed as shrek. there is nothing else to this one
loves capri suns
does weed and edibles. we all know he does
likes wearing long skirts and dresses occasionally but doesnt like short skirts or dresses or shorts or anything short actually
buff people. holy moly,,,, -isen
afraid of bugs
especially spiders
also will not ride in an elevator unless necessary. has the irrational fear the cord holding them up will snap and they'll plummet
afraid of being forgotten and/or left alone
doesnt like thunderstorms, they scare him
would make a fantastic sniper ✨
aside from the murder
so i guess no he wouldn't actually
would not be able to kill someone even to protect himself or someone else. not unless like he went thru something mind altering
paints his nails sometimes. why not. he can make them fun colors
#tw brief murder mention#i think thays all i have for right now!!#ill make a pt 2 later if i get/find/remember more#my posts#unordinary#headcanons#unordinary headcanons#unordinary isen#isen unordinary#tw murder#tw murder mention

#chattin#nothin crazy just thinking about thay wel//come home post thats been circulating#its so scary#its why i really DONT participate in fandom like that; its why i stay away from aus and oc content#bc sometimes its so far removed from the actual content that youve basically made an entirely new show/game/etc#and like obv thats not bad or evil or what have u#i make aus and ocs for basically everything i watch and play#im doing it w pt right now!#but i feel like#the main issue was that the people who got ahold of the website were people who wanted views#and poked and prodded until they could find something to make a video about#and instead of like#following the creator and their socials; people just jumped on the bandwagon#like the obsession w unreality games (mandela catalog/backrooms/etc) and child mascot horror games#means that some people will look at Cute Looking Things that have very little content or descriptions#and assume its horror related#and that its Content Creator stuff As Usual#and like#will make all of these conclusions without engaging in the original media#if people checked the creators socials for 10 seconds im sure they wouldve found exactly whats been circulating rn#that it was just a fun project ! thats their baby!#and people jumped into a fabricated fandom FIRST instead of engaging in the media#like. i like pt. i LOVE it. i think the game is fun and solid with wonderful music and controls and cute litte bits of characterization for-#-what would otherwise be shallow puppets. and we know this becase we played and watched it! people went through the trouble of finding old-#-dev builds and old concept art and old creator messages (for better of for worse lmfao)#just. i interact with fandom as far as i would like someone to treat my own properties#enjoy what i have to put out there; and take it from there#dont just piggyback off of what fandom wants to see.#just. waugh. 🥺🥺 i feel so bad for that artist. a passion project turned miserable#bc people played with their babies like little dolls and didnt even want to like. know what these babies meant to their creator

So the one reason to go to Arkansas is to drive through a town named "Flippin," where everything sounds like a euphemism. Flippin Fire Dept. Flippin School. Flippin Police. Etc.
While that does sound charming, I don't know that justifies a trip to Arkansas
#when I was considering moving to georgia#a place I had not been yet#I was at this hole in the wall thai restaurant with a friend#and the tables were soooo close together#and there was a couple next to us#and the one boyfriend was just like hissing that he was NOT going to move to Arkansas#he didn't care HOW good his bf's job offer was#he was NOT GOING#he could get a job ANYWHERE ELSE#and while GA is not quite on the same level as Arkansas I was like gosh that is what i'm feeling right now#it's soooo far south#anyway I did move to GA and it was fine#although that feels disingenuous#I very rarely left the city and in the city I very rarely met anyone who was actually FROM GA#this one time I stopped for gas in what is apparently a small shitty town#and I'm white but apparently I was OBVIOUSLY not from around there#because there were like five old men sitting at the bar of the little gas station restaurant#who stopped talking when I walked in and just... watched me#as I bought a snack for the road and asked where the bathroom was#just silently disapprovingly watching this outsider... utilize a gas station#the girl working the register seemed apologetic#when i went back out to my car I could see all them watching me from the window#so I do think there are parts of GA that straight up suck#and had I been a different race I think my safety would have been in question that day#but Atlanta was fine for the most part#weirdly full of people from Chicago

Hi! Know I've been inactive for a bit and that probably isn't gonna change! I have other stuff to say but it'll be in the tags lol
#so im hesitant to say what i wanna say cause i dont wanna be perceived as ungrateful but like#i really wish my non fandom stuff got more attention/love#it sucks cause i know most of you followed me for Undertale/underswap art and junk so it only makes sense that#my more personal art wouldnt be treated in the same way#and im also aware thay regardless of how many followers i have not all of you will see/like/comment/reblog my stuff#and it bothers me that i care so much because i know the culture of social media doesnt cater towards the art community very well#even though art is so so popular#the creators of said art and content just dont get treated in the same way their creations do#and thats really disheartening cause ir feels like i have to constantly improve and one up myself in order to get people attention#like for so many this is their livelihood and to see it so dependant on algorithms is incredibly demoralizing#i dont know#this kinda feels like the only route for me right now since im still in highschool- this feels like the only way ill create connections atm#anyway im only saying this cause i wanna know if anyone else feels similarly? like i feel like such a jackass for thinking all this stuff#but i wanna know if its reasonable line of thinking yknow#thats why i havent been posting very much either. i just hate working so hard on something and feeling so proud and then it feels like#its being ignored? idk...#im aware this sounds whiny#i wont try to excuse it#if any of my art moots see this tell me if youve had similar experiences#since i feel bad ill try to post the sketches ive been doing since school started#my style has changed a bit so maybe some of you would be interested in seeing how ive improved? lolol#im done talking now. have a good one

grr I need to get better at art but to get better you have to get worse. like I don't think.
I think it's been AGES since the last project I was happy about. art is difficult etc etc and I'm trying my best to do anything that isn't just [character standing still facing front] but when I try silly positions I'm. not. happy with it.
hoping to mess around with a LiL based au bc I made something for it a while back and I liked it even if it wasn't any character, but based on a group from LiL. anyway. I have ideas for it right now so please motivation, be kind :3
I'm at a point where I'm straight up just too tired to draw rn. that Kakashi n Nastasia should've come out before SL finale came out but I think it came out the afternoon after bc I procrastinated on drawing Kakashi's vest. I looked at the line and said no. later. so yeah. I'm struggling teehee
#doesnt help thay it might just be bevause im sad and all my energy is put into being sad.#i have two things i wanna draw for a friend but for right now i think I just need to sleep

Babies!!
#They finally hatched!#I knew it would be soon since they started to turn gray but I wasn't sure how long lol#Sadly they started hatching before I got home so I think two dried out#But the rest are zooming around like it ain't nobody's business!#There's a super small lighter colored one that's so stinking cute#Idk why the second clutch hasn't started hatching out yet though#Hopefully it'll be soon#One snail has made it off the lid and is in the actually aquarium so I'm hoping the rest follow suit soon#I don't wanna dump the clutches into the water of fear the unhatched snails will drown#But idk if that one snail already ate or it still needs to get Calcium#Hopefully it'll be ok#I think tjta one and a second one are already starting to change colors so that's cool!#Or they just have a purple tinge thay I didn't notice before#I'm super excited to see them all and begin analyzing their colors and stuff#I'd be lying if I said I wasn't fascinated by their genetics and ecstatic to have the opportunity to make some observations#This clutch theoretically was from my two yellow snails#But idk if they are carriers for other colors or if paternity can be shared#I have two males and two females so there could've been some crossing going on#Right now though I'm just hoping both sides of the clutch will hatch#In trying to get the eggs to a better environment I broke the clutch in half so I was worried if it'd even hatch#They seemed to make it though and I just found two more clutches two days ago#Sadly the first clutch didn't make it cause it fell in the water the day before I moved the aquarium#I incubated both just in case but it didn't do anything so that was disappointing

#somebody pls lend me your sanity#i am more anxious right now than i think i realize#i have until saturday to get this under control and then a week to hope i don't come back to a MASSIVE infestation#the brasil is almost def a casualty already#he is NOT happy.#heart leaf who is huge has the biggest infestation but#after i doused him with a neem based fungicide (all i had on hand at the time) all the tiny baby thrips appear to have stopped moving???#i bought captain jack's deadbug brew in case i don't see improvement by friday#plantblr#crazy plant lady#if i lose any of these i will cry.#and if the thai con gets touched i will prob just scream and throw up#i have seen conflicting stories about plant survivability and too many suggestions to just toss the infected plants#they clearly underestimate my emotional attachment to all these leafy fuckers#protip: maybe don't base your mental well-being on perishable things like me

pls I would kill to have you elaborate on simon going stupid when you ride him🧎🏽♀️🧎🏽♀️🧎🏽♀️ I love my men dummy stupid for pussy
RUBBING MY HANDS TOGETHER LIKE A FLY
what i picture is simon, fresh off deployment. he's exhausted. the dark circles under his eyes are apparent. the weight on his shoulders is visible. the poor man just looks run down, like he could crawl into bed and sleep for 2 and a half weeks.
the ONLY thing that's keeping him up is you. so soft and sweet, letting him pull you into his lap and lazily paw at you. you let him clumsily strip your clothes off and pull his cock out even tho he's too tired and foggy to prep you properly. you have to do it yourself ): and he'll make it up to you in a few days when he's recharged and back to his old self but for now your own smaller fingers will have to suffice.
his eyes are so heavy, he's practically falling asleep while he waits for you to sink down on him.
and he's so pliant when you do ): just lets his head fall back against the couch, brown eyes rolled back into his skull and moans being punched out of his chest every time you drop your weight back down and swallow every inch of his cock.
his hands hold your hips, kneading the soft flesh there. his fingers gently caress your skin, hoping you'll understand that he's sorry he can't do more for you but he just doesn't have it in him to do anything except take right now </3
so you ride him, creaming his cock while he can do nothing but moan and gasp, drool dripping down his lips because he can't even bring himself to close his mouth. it just feels too good, having a tight, hot little cunt wrapped around his fat cock when he's this sensitive and unguarded.
he babbles abt how good it feels, how hot and wet you are and how tight you feel. it's so good, he can't fucking think. all he knows is you're creaming and dripping down his balls and it makes his mouth water so bad thay he wants to cry because of how badly he wants to eat your pretty cunt out </3
it's really the ONLY time you get to see him like this ): the only time you get to have some semblance of control. but don't get too carried away, simon is vulnerable and fragile in this state - trusting you to not push him too far, not to tease him. just give him what he so badly needs and wants and he'll fill you up the biggest load you'll get until the next deployment when you'll get to do this all over again!!!
and don't worry if he cums too soon (he might!!!!) because you can just ride him until you're cumming all over him. do it as many times as you want, wring orgasm after orgasm out the both of you until his eyes inevitably flutter closed and blissful snores finally come from him <3 fully at peace <3
until he's recharged and finally get the energy to pay you back for bein so sweet for him and giving him your precious lil cunt. hell thank you by fucking you unconscious into the mattress in return <333333333333

one of my most formative fandom experiences was a comment i had gotten on a fic i wrote for a halloween themed fandom event.
this was for a manga/anime, so the fic was a general ghost story obviously set in Japan. the beginning of it involved a pizza delivery and while writing it, i had spent like 30 minutes just double checking tipping customs and the types of pizza they serve and even fell down a wikipedia rabbit hole looking up the history of pizza in Japan.
now, i just like the research part of writing, i do stuff like this because i have fun doing it. and while i was writing this particular fic, i had laughed at myself for my 30 minutes of googling that amounted to 2.5 offhand lines in a 3500 word fic. i didn't think anyone would care about or even notice those particular details except for me, especially since none of them were relevant to the ghost part of this ghost story.
except, when i had sent this fic to a Japanese friend, the first thing she said to me about it was "OH MY GOD YOU GOT THE PIZZA RIGHT"
and that was the moment when it had really clicked for me. what had just been 30 minutes of effort on my part had become a moment of relief for her. my friend was far more used to reading ethnocentric fic that ranged from unintentional ignorance to outright superiority against part of her culture (the original story's culture no less). and even with the "innocent" ignorance (heavy quotes on that) far outstripping any outright maliciousness, that's still so many people saying her culture was not worth learning about. the pizza in my story was a small detail, but i had cared enough to put in some effort to check it. and for her, coming from a fic experience where her norm was bracing for hundreds of inaccuracies born of ignorance, especially at that time after a flood of stories centered around "Halloween as a cultural holiday in the US" premises instead of the "Halloween is a commercial gimmick in Japan" reality, seeing someone put in some effort even for minor story details meant something to her.
this also throws me back to the discourse that arose in a french show fandom a few years ago because there were a lot of fic authors that wrote 'dollars' instead of 'euros'-- but when people brought this up as a prevalent issue across the fandom but an easy one to fic/watch out for, many of these writers instead pushed back to complain that they were posting stories for free and it wasn't that big of a deal. which really upset a lot of people, but then this upset was met with a new wave of indignation that people needed to 'get over it' because they're writing fic ~just as a hobby~. but, even if 'dollars' instead of 'euros' wasn't a big deal, by digging in their heels about the issue, they were saying "your culture isn't worth even five minutes of my time or effort."
I've been thinking about these things lately because the ethnocentrism in Thai drama fandoms is...staggering. just over the turn of the year, there were waves of Christmas fic for Buddhist characters. and just. Christmas in Thailand is a tourist thing at best. sometimes a pop culture gimmick for international audiences or maybe an offhand high school thing to blow off steam between midterms. it's not a cultural thing. and even if a character is a part of the Christian minority, a Christian Thai's holiday customs and culture are going to be vastly different than a Christian's customs in the Americas or Europe. and while the Christmas fic is at least finished for now, I'm already bracing myself for the Easter fic wave that also seems to pop up for Thai dramas. it's so frustrating to see this sort of cultural overwrite all the time, especially since most Thai drama holiday works aren't about Thai holidays.
but the thing that really got me bristling about all of this again was i saw a post the other day where op said that they weren't going to write [thai drama] fic because they don't know much about thailand.
what an absolutely appalling statement to make.
google is right there. wikipedia is free. you don't even have to leave tumblr or AO3 to learn more because there are Thai natives in fandom who write essays to explain common elements of their culture. hell, even just watching these Thai stories and considering the values and messages imparted by the narrative framework and story lens tells you something about that culture. the audacity to look at a culture different from your own and say "this is not worth my effort or time to learn anything more about," are you kidding me?!?
the messages and values of a story tell you about the writer's values, which are going to carry their cultural values, beliefs, and biases. Thai culture is going to be heavily relevant to any Thai story, even the ones that aren't explicitly about Thai culture/customs/etc. (hell, Thai bl/gl as a genre alone-- just the fact that queer Thai writers are making these stories in Thailand's current political climate is highly political, even the "fluffy" ones that don't seem to make outright political statements.) to approach any story like it was made in a vacuum is to remove the writer(s)' culture and values and to overwrite them with your own.
especially because this is fandom. these are the lowest stakes to learn! it sucks to see people say things like "but i'm scared i'll get something wrong" and hold up that fear as a shield to justify their ignorance. no one's expecting anyone to get every detail right, especially not for a culture that isn't theirs, just make an effort to learn something new about it. pick out something that caught your eye as different to learn more about and see where it leads you.
and for the record--making a mistake trying to broaden your horizons is a far, far better thing to do than to superimpose your culture on everyone else's because you're scared to confront your ignorance.
edit: check out this reblog thanks
