I know this is just a silly bad quality random screencap of a screencap that I found on facebook lol, BUT it's a succinct enough image to easily describe the concept in a quick/accessible way hopefully :

-

(and of course, feel free to elaborate in tags, etc.! (especially elaborating about other senses as well.. can you "hear" in your mind just as well as you can "see"? taste? etc.) It's an interesting topic to me, as someone who's like a 4.5 at MOST lol. I'm curious what option will be the most common :0c )

one of the lesser talked about fun things about intentionally reading more books is finding new stuff to be a bit of a hater about tbh

Thinking more about my isat au and I'm gonna need to change a LOT more than I thought. First things first, Siffrin's connection to the wish. Since in Of gems and pages, all the wishes stayed the same. So why is Odile the one looping and not Siff? So basically, what I think I'd do in my au is that the Universe decided to change things up a bit.

The first time the Universe granted Siffrin the means to fulfill their wish, things went horribly bad (just look at Loop). So this time, the Universe decided to give this new Siffrin, something a lil different. They still gave Siffrin the timeloop But made Odile his proxy. So that Siffrin may have helpers in this new timeline, with Loop as the guide and Odile helping as well, it Should go better, right??? And since the wish is connected with Siffrin's emotions, the Universe can't just completely make it Odile's problem now, sooo basically... Siffrin can still remember Parts of a previous loop PRIOR to their deaths.

That means during the beginning of canon when Siff was crushed by a boulder, he remembers that. And found Loop as well, but when he accidentally ended up touching a tear, he now Doesn't remember being crushed by a boulder but by being frozen in time. At the same time, he ALSO doesn't remember Anything else prior to it. So he doesn't remember that there's a boulder that can kill him by the entrance of the House, he doesn't remember Loop. All he remembers is that somehow, one way or another, he was frozen in time within the House and needs to be more careful with the tears. And because of the way that the loops affect Siffrin now is faaar too different than how it affected Loop, he can't go forwards or backwards in time. Siff will always awaken back in the meadow and Loop will always have to do their whole speech all over again (which would most likely annoy them immediately cuz why? Why is it so different now? Why can't this Siffrin REMEMBER?)

Odile on the other hand, remembers ALL the loops and finds a lot of discrepancies with Siffrin. It takes awhile for her to meet Loop and they get to talk to each other. Their meeting would be pretty... rocky at first. Loop still getting regarded as a stranger by Odile, Loop finding out that Odile is the one getting affected by the timeloop from their own selfish wish. Even if that Siffrin isn't them, it doesn't change the fact that they both made the same wish. Loop thinkin bout being such a favourite cosmic joke of the Universe that not only were they turned into This, one of their family members are suffering cuz of them. And she doesn't even recognize them. It'd be pretty hard at first too cuz Loop doesn't know that their appearance changed yet, there's no mirror. For Loop, they might still look like Siffrin, right? But Odile's reaction to seeing them says otherwise.

Anyway in this au, stage wise, Odile is the actor, Siffrin is the director, and the Universe is the audience. Book wise, Odile is the character, Siffrin is the writer, and the Universe is the reader. Why is Siffrin the director or the writer and not the Universe? That's because the timeloops are Still connected to his emotions, if something he didn't want to think about happens like, that argument with Bonbon (just as an example. I'm wondering if that'll still happen here considering that only happened because of Siff had memories of all the loops in canon. He doesn't have that in this au anymore), time would loop back still, so in a way, Siff Is writing how the timeloops go.

Hmm

Okie I think I've figured out why Shiver n Frye's outfits look so off to me.

For one, they didn't get fun slay outfits for Springfest, boooooo

But two, I think it's like...the way they distributed the colors on their outfits?

Like

Fir Shiver I think the issue I'm having is that there's too much blue? Like, there being blue in both the pants and shawl (is that what it's called?) make it too samey, I think one or the other should be green so it doesn't blend all together in a weird way.

Same thing for Frye but it's the pink shirt with pink shawl (again can't remember if that's what it's actually called). This time it kind of makes more sense considering that's her team color but it just doesn't look good imo

The difference in material/shade of the color help, but I think it would benefit from maybe being a different color or having even more of the textural difference (maybe a pattern or glitter or something)

Otherwise I like their outfits, the earrings are really cute and their headpieces are nice too! Though I still wish they went with brand new costumes, it would've been cool to see them compared to the Splatoween and Frostyfest fits.

Anyhow I love how Big Man looks, he's so cool

been laying here listening to Lucky by Dermot Kennedy on loop for half an hour while thinking about Everything Stays and crying

as a huge batjokes shipper i want batman and joker to hate each other in the sense they dont really hate each other, they just have really different goals and see their own version of potential in the other and right now hate is the best word for their situationship. they both love the other for what they could be but neither of them wants to be what the other one wants, and that's equally as frustrating as it is necessary for them to keep existing in their current roles. they're deadlocked and that fate surrounding each other is kind of the point -- we both have to be like this, the opposite of what the other wants, for us to keep existing at all, and for giving me that gift i both love and hate you. it's an agreement. i think the hate that's there now is born from an intense underlying love.

i think batman "hates" joker for being so amazing and smart and cunning, for being able to create grand gestures and schemes, to pull people together under his charisma and make them all believe in something, for being as extraordinary as he is but batman hates that he uses it to hurt people. he hates that joker can't channel his energy into doing something good for the world, that he hurts himself and others just because he wants to be batman's greatest enemy. i think batman wants to help joker but also hates him at this point for joker exhausting him, constantly getting hurt both emotionally and physically by him, joker never trying to improve his situation, throwing away other people's lives, showing batman he loves him by lashing out and hurting him. batman hates joker because he loves his rogues, he wants to help them, and he knows they can do better. he wants to live in a gotham that doesn't need batman but he still needs to be needed, because when there's no batman, what is bruce going to be? without joker, he will continue being batman, but it's an empty crusade. some of my favorite interactions between harvey and bruce are the ones where harvey thanks bruce for "always being there for me, never giving up on me, my very best friend." even with someone like harvey, bruce can still hold onto that hope for his rogues, never give up on them, keep going for them, even if it puts them through the cycle one more time.

i think joker hates batman in the most toxic way possible, but it's still love. i just think he's selfish and doesn't want batman to think about anyone else but him, the same way he operates for batman, but if he must think about other people then joker will make it as amazing as possible! i think he hates batman for wasting his time on ordinary people, people who are so boring that batman claims he has to protect and serve and love them but joker thinks it's all surface-level. batman won't kill joker but he'll leave room for people dying in his crusade. it's a choice he allows, and even if joker knows that's a morally fucked up way to put someone in a box, he doesn't care. batman is the type of person to train himself mentally and physically for decades and dress up in a half-silly-half-menacing costume so that everyone can have an idea about him. batman himself is not normal, and joker knows that and loves that! why is he wasting his time trying to save people that use him, abuse him, don't want him to be the best he can be? i think joker's motivations for loving batman and lashing out as if he hates him lie somewhere in between extreme admiration -- like i truly believe in your cause and that you're the right person to do it, but i'm so angry at you for wasting your time on other people and i'm so hurt and jealous that you choose them over me, just so you can be a hypocrite and let them die if i want them to anyways -- and anger at his hypocrisy -- like it's easy for joker to dedicate himself to chaos and just being in batman's life by putting batman in situations that force him to be a better and better hero, but how can batman sit there and choose and pick what morals he'll uphold and who gets to live and who gets to die?

i want to be your greatest enemy because you are the greatest hero ever, and the only way you and i can keep being the best at what we do is if we do it together, because of what we both believe in.

I’d really like the hear about the room you made for venti in your teapot! Like did you use sets? If not which furniture is in there? Just curious what a venti themed room would look like cause my venti lives with me in my bedroom 😏

Whaa? someone asking about my design choices!?!? I hope you're fully prepared anon because I've included pictures

When I first looked around inside the house I made a little drawing of the floor plan including how many rooms there were and generally what I wanted to dedicate each room to, including who would reside in those dedicated spaces

So on the top floor, where there were two rooms, I thought that would be most fitting for one to be my personal one and one to be dedicated to Venti, then our rooms could be next to each other :3

I did look around at all the available sets that characters liked and I couldn't find an interior one for him, so I decided to simply go off the cusp with what I thought worked

Nothing is completely set in stone, and I know that I'm probably going to have to get rid of a few things in order to actually fit him in there when I get him because of that pesky room limit thing, but here's the tentative layout

The top one is the view from the doorway and the bottom one is the view from the bed, obviously I tried to focus more on greenery and general Mondstadt interior design vibes, I definitely would have added even more flowers and plants to fill the space if I hadn't reached my room limit—

I really wish that they had more wall decor options too, obviously the moving picture was one of those sure fire things I knew I was going to include, but aside from that I just didn't have a whole lot of choices, and more rug choices would also be nice because right now I have that exact same blue rug in so many places—

I also very much wish that you could put some of the outdoor furniture and greenery indoors, then the room would really be something, but I guess we'll have to settle for the small amount of interior furniture they do give us

Anyway thank you for taking an interest :D

i thought i had talked abt kanomomo before but apparently i hadnt omg? but anyways i love kanomomo and i wish they got to interact more in general like off the top of my head i can only recall them interacting when momo first joins the mekakushi dan, and later in novel 8 where they get MURDERED together. but ignoring the murder part i love the way they think of one another in the novels like its sooo interesting to me;

momo's thoughts towards kano:

kano's thoughts towards momo:

and i wish there was something more to their relationship especially considering the fact that momo had to watch her brother wither from depression and kano was a big factor of said depression, with how he spat hateful words to shintaro while disguised as ayano. maybe explore momo holding a grudge even idk. but i just think theres so much potential to their relationship as theyre both younger siblings who are protective of their insane suicidal older siblings. also!!! they both have themes of nights and moons, kano relishing in the darkness of the night to hide his lies, and momo being a shining moon in the night to light up the darkness. it makes me a bit sad that their dynamic wasnt explored more. anyways i love this picture forever:

People said they liked the neons in my last moodboard and it motivated me to make an entirely neon one bc I secretly crave validation from the strangers in my phone✌

all i’m saying is coyote and phoenix DEFINITELY used to hook up because that little “hey, coyote” “hey” was unbelievably flirty

Does it feel like life is permanently set to extreme hard mode and I still feel super crappy greater than 90% of the time? Yup. But! Emboldened by our relative success with last year's tomatoes, we have given it another go and have added a little pepper plant friend for them. :)

(It may look like the peppers aren't doing as well as the tomatoes, but it cannot be overstated just how bananas this plant's growth chart has been; it's determined to escape the confines of its basket-cage; it has to be constantly rotated so it doesn't completely lose the battle with gravity; I only took this picture the other day and it already looks SO outdated. Can't stop, WON'T STOP.)

bakugou when he goes on a longer hike than usual

-family vlog anon

(i loved your fic i’ve reread it a couple of times now just to go over his reactions on different dates)

(Iink for safety!)

oh absolutely!!! i wonder what they'd really say though, given that he's not exactly the most... eloquent. i'm imagining that they're all super short (but sweet), like:

"hey nerd. you better be drinking water and eating all the food i made for you. don't watch (show) without me. i'll show you lots of pictures when i'm home. -k"

OR SOMETHING OF THAT SORT that just makes u wanna cry🥺...and you know the one time he has wifi a day, he also sends you a selfie from the top of a cliff with some terrible expression on asdlfajsdl

(and thank you, lovie!!! i really appreciate that💓💓💓 i promise bakugo has better dates in store for u when he's not trying to keep a secret from u hee hee hoo hoo!!!)
