When I first started wanting to branch out with the games I played, I had no idea where to look. SO!

The following under the cut is a very long masterpost of indie games I recommend, sorted by category and alphabetical order, with short descriptions and links to their store pages.

Titles italicized are free, and I'll be updating this as I play more 👍

EXPLORATION

Babdi - Babdi is a beautiful and quiet brutalist city, with your only concrete goal in this game to get a train ticket to leave. This game takes about 1-2 hours to fully explore, and it has a lovely sense of place and scale.

Hollow Knight - A tiny bug knight explores a ruined kingdom, looking for answers. This game has had its praises sung a lot, but I cannot recommend it enough, with a melancholy atmosphere, very charming character design, and lovely art direction that balances skillfully between being cute and mournful.

Rain World - You are a slugcat, a creature in the middle of the foodchain, exploring a broken biomechanical ecosystem. You must learn about each microbiome in order to survive, and get enough food to hibernate before the deadly rain comes. This game has fantastic creature design and programming, my favorite background art direction of any game I've ever played, and insanely intricate lore. I highly recommend getting the Downpour DLC-- it not only fixes the personal gripes I have with the base game, but adds an immense amount to the story and world with five new campaigns.

Somnium - Your email got lost in transit, and you have to explore a early-2000s webscape to recover it! With art direction that captures the whimsy of the early internet, and very charming character design and writing, it takes about half an hour to play and I was smiling the whole time.

Outer Wilds - An open world game about space exploration, xenoarchaeology, and physics. This is my favorite game of all time, and in order for the game to work, you can't say much about it! It also has a horror dlc with its own story.

FPS

ULTRAKILL - Humanity is dead. Blood is fuel. Hell is full. Inspired by Dante's Inferno and Greek mythology, you play as a machine tearing its way through hell in PS1-like graphics. Its hard to oversell the strength of Ultrakill's concepts and how well they're executed-- this game is constantly saying "do you know what would be so cool" and is right every single time.

HORROR

Go to Bed - A very simple horror game about going to bed (it should take less than half an hour to play).

Signalis - A robot named Elster fights her way down through a sick facility to fulfill a mysterious promise. I can't say much about it without spoiling, but its prose, gritty combat, and art direction are phenomenal.

SOMA - Simon Jarrett goes to the doctor to get his brain scanned, and wakes up 100 years in the future, in an underwater facility full of robots with human consciousnesses. This game has a "safe mode" where the "monsters" don't kill you, which I recommend as its more accurate to the world, more convenient to play, and in the majority of cases, doesn't reduce the horror. Even playing in "safe mode" it was the most intense horror I've ever experienced by a landslide, and is very dear to me in its environments, writing, and concepts! I would highly recommend checking the content warnings, as well as playing when you're both emotionally and psychologically stable.

Subway Midnight - A young woman takes the subway, where many people have gone missing. What could go wrong? Really lovely combination of 2D and 3D that makes the most of its limitation of "walking through a subway car" to create a game that's charming, beautiful, and very unique.

PUZZLE

Freshly Frosted - A game about making donuts! You arrange donuts with a series of conveyer belts, the factory's work lining up with the music's beat. Its very relaxing, and the narration is very pleasant. A really great game to wind down with at the end of the day.

Manifold Garden - You solve puzzles by changing the gravity of an infinite world without fall damage. This game definitely has a learning curve while getting used to the physics rules, but the puzzles are clever and intuitive once it clicks! Its also very pretty.

Mini Motorways - You connect cars to their destinations through plotting roads, bridges, and motorways. Like Freshly Frosted, its a simple concept, but something nice to wind down with!

Smile for Me - A game where you communicate through nodding and shaking your head! You are the local florist's kid, staying in a "wellness resort", a bizarre cross between a hotel and psychiatric ward. Your mission? Make people happy! Really sweet with an unsettling undercurrent that gets addressed in an interesting way.

Vignettes - You rotate objects to make them transform, and explore different areas and themes as the forms fluctuate. Another simple, but beautiful game, with really fantastic art direction!

ROGUELIKES

Going Under - An unpaid intern battles her way through the dungeons of failed start-ups. A criminally underrated, super fun anti-capitalist satire with a huge variety of builds, that uses the "corporate art style" in a beautiful way!

TEXT-BASED

Citizen Sleeper - You are an escaped Sleeper, a cyborg with partial human memories, who fled to a massive space station. The company that made your body programmed for planned obsolescence: what will you make of the time you have? This is a constant game of juggling food, health, and money as you roleplay and explore, with beautiful character art and prose. It feels like a sad hug, housing a wide variety of very touching stories.

GUTLESS - A short story of an angry man traveling to the bottom of the ocean. Raw, harsh, and visceral. This story is NSFW.

In Other Waters - By the same devs of Citizen Sleeper, but an earlier game! You are the AI in a marine biologist's suit, and guide her as she navigates through the waters of an alien world. The only visuals you see are dots, walls, and elevation maps to mark your surroundings. If you're a fan of the deep sea or speculative biology, you'll love this game!

Please Tell Me You Love Me - Your old favorite online rpg game is shutting down, and you're having one last hurrah with your guild. Short, sweet, and will leave you with a smile.

The Ouroborous Incident - A notorious tech company releases a strange new product. An interesting short story with a fun conclusion, it dips in and out of sci-fi, comedy, and horror, while sharing information through different tabs of updating text threads, transcripts, and news reports.

UNSORTABLE

Inscryption - A grisly roguelike card game that takes place in an escape room, where you're trapped by a mysterious man that you can only see the eyes of. I recommend going in not knowing much, as this game has a lot of surprises. You play the story by default, but it also has an endless mode that is very fun!

What the Golf? - A very silly game about golf, made for people who hate golf. Takes the concept of "golf" and plays with it like silly putty, and has a ridiculous variety of mechanics.

You mentioned that Ray would be a professor of astronomy I like the idea especially that Ray likes stars buuut I have a really negative view of male professors (I hope i don't offend anyone it's just what I feel like) so it didn't set right with me I Don't think Ray would be the type but still Idk can you please answer? like it's alright if Ray is a murderer but it isn't if he's a college professor it doesn't make any sense I know

I'm sorry for any bad experiences you may have had with professors in the past.

Ray would be a professor, but maybe not in the way that you assume? Here is a bit more information:

Non Superhero AU Ray would get into teaching due to a love of astronomy and spreading knowledge , inspiring others regarding the boundless beauty of outterspace. Unfortunately, with how shitty of a job teaching can be, a lot of his passion has been lost. He spends his free time researching and reading, and he tends to stay up too late, which makes him dependent on caffeine throughout the day.

Ray wouldn't be the type to hit on or take advantage of any of his students. To be honest, he would barely remember any of their names. Ray would likely be hit on a few times as he is conventionally attractive, in these circumstances, Ray's annoyance would definitely show. Something like this:

Student: "Mr. Ray I'll do anything for extra credit 💕"

Ray: "Anything? How about studying?😒"

There would be a few students he would become fond of, but only those who express deep interest in astronomy and have a tenacity to keep bothering Ray to teach them more, even when class is over. He wouldn't even mind if that person's test scores were bad, as long as they were excited about learning and about astronomy in general.

Ray would seem tired and thorny in person, but with enough time spent together, he would eventually open up and become very warm towards that person. It is a story that would definitely be a slow burn and would require a ton of effort on MC's part to be a go-getter as Ray would have a LOT of reservations lol.

you know, i talked about it before but i still, for a much more rare totk gameplay complaint-

i still cannot wrap my head around how it went all the way to the finished product to have 5 ghosts that love to glitch around and threaten your frame rate (espeically bad in combat) help in combat, 4 of which are MELEE fighters, AND have their abilities tied to their model forcing you to chase after them constantly if you want to use any of it AND ALSO give them collision so they can get knocked over cancelling their ability if it needs charging (RIJU!!), the one needing a long time to charge being not jsut one of the most useful and fun to use but then making that one also be one of tHE MELEE fighters meaning anytime you manage to catch her and activate it she instantly charges into battle and due to her being rather small and using short swords she basically sticks to the enemy like glue and keeps gettign knocked over, i swear yelling riju was my most spoken word in any type of combat in all my playtime

also how they teleport back and forth in and out of your arm the second you dare to look at a climable surface or are in one thats too small for them (even when you need them the most like yuno in one of those caves stuffed to the brim with destroyable rocks thatd take out all your swords if you did it by hand) or just .. randomly teleporting around but then can still get stuck on environmental collision until you cant even see them anymore (stares at sidon giving me a heart attack in the underground when he got caught on a light root until i was so far away he was barely visible and instead of teleporting he started to sprint at me with inhumane speed when i turned around making me frozen in shokc bc he turned dark in the distance for some reason making me think one of the creepy ghost soldiers was out to murder me, granted that was one of the best moments in the game for me, but also, imagine if they actually did that with one of the creepy ghost soldiers instead of it being a glitch??? another missed opportunity tbh)

how did that never come up during playtesting?? if they really were done somewhere in 2022 and spent the rest of the time with polish like they said how did that never come up?? i loved having the champ- sages around in their dungeons but the ghost version thingy wasnt really that optimal and id rather have their abilities be either integrated into your controls like in botw (tbh i find that really thoguhtful, to have your dead friends abilities they granted you inegrated into your basic controls as dynamically as they did) or in another ability wheel (like i did in my rewrite) with maybe mineru beign the only one you actually need around via summon since you can ride ... her

idk about anyone else but i only had them around bc i liked them walking around with me and was too lazy to constantly de and reactivate them but tbh i think it caused more annoyance to me than it brought anything interesting to it

#ganondoodles talks #zelda #tloz #totk #ganondoodles rants #idk why that came up again #but that needed to be said #i think it could have been integrated way better with even less work #thinking of a pure gameplay-mechanic perspective that is like my biggest problem #it feels so unfinished?#not good to me at least bc i wanted to use their abilities in combat but then spent more time on chasing them instead of the enemy lol

🍙﹒星 — day 1 featuring kamishiro rui

knock knock!

heres some mail!

ଘ(੭´꒳`)°* ੈ‧₊ 💌

⌨️ᶻᶻᶻ...starfilledsky2810 is typing... ♡

↻ᴹᵉˢˢᵃᵍᵉ ˡᵒᵃᵈᵉᵈ !

❝Hihi! Idk if I'm asking for too many requests since I'm req on 2 events, but for mangoes birthday event, could I have Rui for prompt 1, please? I MISSED MODMFUYU'S BDAY, BUT I'LL MAKE SURE NOT TO MISS YOURS !!❞

━━❝Shall I wake you up with a kiss?❞

It was one of those rare days you spent, waiting in the living room while your boyfriend was occupied with his new inventions.

You know it was his passion for putting on great shows and you love them of course but sometimes... you just feel very lonely.

You slapped both of your cheeks unconsciously, leaving behind two reddish cheeks... just what the heck were you thinking?

"Haa... maybe I'm more tired than I thought..." scratching your head, displeased as you stand up from the sofa before picking up one of the many cushions.

You stared…before turning to the black screen featuring a channel promoting some valentine's day special ads "Hmm...I guess a nap won't hurt, better than being miserable about this whole thing...haa"

Grabbing the remote on the table before turning the TV off and silence came into the room, you immediately went to make your temporary bed on the sofa.

It's just for a short nap while you wait so it won't hurt anyone if you just rearrange some things... right?

Just as you finish setting up your makeshift bed, the loud click of a door opening and the shuffling footsteps get louder as if it's coming towards you...

In a panic, you tried to make it look like you were already asleep while making yourself as comfortable as possible.

Wait...

Why are you pretending to be asleep for...?

Ah... I didn't even realize...uhh this is going to be so awkward..!!

But a moment later...

TAP! TAP!

"Hey, (name)..." He paused at the sight of you sleeping on his living room sofa...well he thought at first "...(name)?"

A moment passed, you could hear his footsteps coming closer and soon enough, you could feel his presence...

"Hmm... interesting" Rui chuckled with a playful grin, amused by your silly attempt to play pretend...

What is so interesting about me sleeping here, Rui?!

"(name), I know you're just faking it~"

"..."

You just keep laying there, stubbornly continue to pretend to be asleep...

"..."

Man...It feels like he is really staring at me...

To make it more convincing, you pretended to snore and stir a little in your sleep "mmm..."

He didn't respond which makes you feel a little nervous because you know how unpredictable he can be once he gets his eyes on something...

Please believe it and leave peacefully...!

But to your disbeliefs, the next thing he says almost made you fall off the sofa... almost

"Ah I see, shall I wake you up with...hmm I don't know..." Rui asked in a teasing tone as bright golden eyes stared at your sleeping face "...maybe a kiss? Do you want that, (name)?"

"..."

"Still being stubborn, I see..."

Your ears picked up his shuffling footsteps and in the next moment, a warm breath hit your cheek and when you realized what he was doing. You suddenly found yourself in a dangerous situation with your heart about to explode at any moment...

Before you could mentally prepare yourself, the next thing you know was his lips brushed against yours softly and delicately...

Like a pair of a butterfly wings, long enough to make you gasp in surprise when he slowly removes himself and stares into your widen (colour) eyes.

Rui smiles proudly when he saw your expression went from gawking at him like a goldfish to a blossoming pink as you stumble over your words from the shock.

"Are you awake now?"

(っ'-')╮=͟͟͞͞💌 You receive a letter from Yue!

↻ᴹᵉˢˢᵃᵍᵉ ˡᵒᵃᵈᵉᵈ !

𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠. . .

pyon-yahoo~!! I'm so sorry for being so late with this one- I got really sick in the passed few weeks because of that, we decided to release those event fics on modena's birthday as the starting point, wrote this one at 4 am so yuepyon hope you like it~!!

STARGAZING-> L.HSG

->bff!Heeseung x gn!reader ->wc- 819 >FLUFF,little bit angst

Prompt -> “this sounds like you’re flirting with me.” “...i have been trying to do that for three years now.”

Request form

a/n- This is requests,so yep yep,i kinda wanna rewrite the ends or continue this story but idk

Taglist- @dimplewonie , @heetoldme

Heeseung, your dearest and closest friend. He’s been a big part of your life, since you’ve known him from the beginning of high school till now.

But still after all these years spent together did you expect him to fall in love with you? Of course not.

He has seen you at your lowest and highest points in life. For example, when your first love broke your heart and you cried on his shoulder for days. Or when you won competitions that you thought you could never win in the first place. Heeseung has always been there for you and you’ve always been there for him. Best friends through thick and thin.

"Has anyone ever told you that you have the prettiest side profile?" you said while looking at him from the side. You weren't lying when you said that. He really had a really nice and defined face, which made everyone fall for him even more.

You both decided to stargaze in the middle of the night at a random park that you found. You both were sitting on a very uncomfortable bench with some distance between you both, but the night was too beautiful for some bench to ruin it. Apparently tonight is a star shower, which is why Heeseung begged for you to come and watch it with him. It's better to do it in company than all alone in your room. Even better if you’re doing it with the person who made you a better version of yourself.

"Oh so my side profile is pretty? You're like the most beautiful thing here, prettier than every star i’ve looked at today, " Heeseung smiled at you while leaning his back on the bench. His statement caught you off guard. You stared at with furrowed brows. Was he flirting with you?

"This sounds a lot like you're flirting with me," you said nervously while looking back at the sky. You weren't even flustered, it was more like a confusion.

"I have been trying to do that for three years now," he said, which made you look at him in fast motion. Three years? He’s never been the flirty type with you. He’s never even showed any interest in you. So what was he talking about now?

"What are you talking about?" you said your thoughts aloud and looked up confused at him. You only saw him as a best friend and nothing more. At least that is what you thought now. I'm not talking about times in the past when he made you flustered with all his actions and words. But you’ve always put those feelings far away in a fear of making him uncomfortable.

"Y/N, I know we’ve been best friends for more than four years now and we made that stupid friendship pact where we can't date or fall for each other, but laws are made to be broken. So I say, let's give us a chance,” Heeseung said as his eyes finally left yours. He fully remembers the day you both made the agreement. It was at your one-year friendship anniversary and you both made it in fear of losing your great friendship, but still to him you’ve always been more than just a best friend.

He was now nervously shaking his leg, hoping that he didn’t just break your long-built friendship over the bold comment he just made. He was waiting for you to say something, anything. But you just nervously chuckled, not giving him an answer and looking up at the sky. Your head was flooded with so many thoughts, making you more flustered than ever.

You knew what your heart wanted but you were still scared. Maybe it's time to give it a chance? But if you say yes and it doesn't work, there is no turning back.

You knew you made Heesung wait too long for your answer, but he wasn’t showing any kind of complaints. Just looking up in the sky and giving you your own space thinking about your decision.

Just then a star fell down from the sky and you knew it was a sign. A smile formed on your face and you turned your head towards Heeseung whose eyes were closed now, enjoying the chilly air blowing in his face.

"So I think I will give us a chance, but let’s try it for fourteen days. If we aren't working out then it’s not for us and we stay friends. Deal?" you said and smiled at him. Heeseung's eyes flew open at your answer. He turned his head toward you and opened his mouth. "Fourteen days, huh? So we can call today our first day, because i think this is a perfect evening for a beginning of something new" he said and giggles left your lips. Deep down you knew you both would work out and the next two weeks were going to be a rollercoaster

I sorta loathe the ts2 fat morph....

which has apparently become a project of it's own.

so I mentioned this vaguely somewhere, but thought I should make a generalize post about it. Mainly cause it'll probably affect any cc I make in the future so... there's that.

Anyway.... because I've spent the last few months sorta adding fat morphs to some of my really old clothing, I quickly realized that I didn't have to deal with EA's "fat" morph. There is literally nothing stopping me from just... making it look better/how I want it to.

Anyways, long story short, I'm picky. There are a decent amount of nice bodyshapes out there, and while I like them, I don't like having multiples of the same outfit (it's the same reason I ended up going with Sunshine hair.) I like sticking to the game's original setup, which in the case of fit states, is unfortunately limited.

I also spend most of my time posing and doing story posts, so I'm not a fan of the much larger bodyshapes, even though I love them in theory.... because they clip a ton, and make more work for me later. So I wanted something that I liked 🤔 but also didn't fuck with the in-game animations too much.

Also, I just sorta like the pear-shaped chunky body type (it's not at all cause it resembles mine lmao nope.... not at all.)

anyways, idk if anyone is even still reading this, but uh... yeah.

I guess this is me, introducing the "sorta chunky, sorta pear-shaped, 'still not really a fat morph' in my opinion because game limitations" bodyshape/fatmorph? (Or, in short cause filename size 'pfate pearshape'.)

At least as an idea. idk if anyone is at all interested in this. but if they are, I can share whatever people want about it/resources for it? idk it's not like I have WSOs cause I honestly don't know how to use them let alone make them. I tend to just make my morphs by hand.

But on a technical note, I think I have most of the Digi Marvine feet naked meshes defaults changed to this, and some other stuff too. mainly Club Crimson stuff, because frankly, I'm still using the files I had from 2012 so none of them had morphs at all (though I'm sure someone somewhere HAS added morphs to them.)

[[ TL;DR is this: I felt like I needed to make a post about it, cause some of the stuff I'm gonna be sharing coming up has fat-morphs based on this. things like defaults that either didn't have morphs so I added them, or they had morphs but I edited them anyways because I was defaulting them with specific sims in mind (like Jorah, Alex or Ginevra) and I wanted a post that I could link back to for reference on those posts. ]]

in any case, if I make a default and change the morphs from ones that already exist, and you WANT the defaults with the original morphs, that's very easy to switch out and I will gladly do it if you ask lol. otherwise I'll probably edit things as I see fit since uhm. well I make cc 99.9% for myself 😂😅

Other age turnarounds under the cut, cause this is too long already.

EU Bodies (Left: Maxis Standard/thin, right: Pfate-Pearmorphs)

TU Bodies (Left: Maxis Standard/Thin, right: Pfate-Pearmorphs)

CU Body (Left: Maxis Standard/Thin, right: Pfate-Pearmorphs)

CU body changed the least from the original fat-morph, then the elder femme frame, I would say? cause the elder frame already had a sort of pear shape (that sorta inspired the other femme ages.) the others are varying degrees of change, with AM being the strongest change by far.

#sims 2 cc #sims2cc #sims 2 download #ts2 #ts2cc #pfate #my posts #idk if I really should have tagged those #since it's not technically a download but.... it is definitely related?#no one get mad at me I'm sorry for 'crosstagging' if this counts as that 😭#pfate.txt #pfate pearmorph #fat morph #pinned

Idk if anyone has asked this before on tumblr or if you made a post about it, but what are your favorite hq fics? (Or fics that stuck with you)

MY FAVORITE TOPIC* !!!! so i have a #fic rec tag that i collect fics in like a dragon hoarding gold, but here are some special favorites from my ao3 bookmarks**! sorted by ship/theme, but otherwise not in any particular order (under the cut bc this got WAY too long). if you've already read all these you should ask for more recs. i have them. i have so many.

*my other favorite topic is talking about MY fics. here is a link to my ao3. shameless self promo and all that <3

**i read a, um, concerning amount of iwaoi, so this is an iwaoi heavy list. sorry but also not really because there's a LOT of good fics abt them.

getting together fics <333333

my heart is where it's always been by foreverautumn (iwaoi, 21113 words)

Iwaizumi knows he shouldn’t care who Oikawa might have feelings for, but within the span of three days, it’s somehow the only thing he can think about.

State of Grace by lahdolphin (kuroshou, 6985 words)

Kuroo's relationship with Daishou had never been simple. Kissing him didn't make up for the many years Kuroo spent agonizing over him, but it was a very good start.

all that i see by princessofthebugs (iwaoi, 649 words)

Iwaizumi confesses to him on his birthday, as he sits on his floor, shredding paper into tiny bits. "I used to like you."

the strange music of your heart by caniculeo (bokuaka, 18446 words)

in which akaashi falls for bokuto first.

i was tired and you were standing in the best light by keishn (iwaoi, 7148 words)

It's the time of year that the sun starts setting when they get out of practice. Looking at Oikawa with the pink-orange light reflected in his eyes and shining off his hair is not something Hajime thinks he can survive.

open doors and plastic stars by ikeru (iwaoi, 22708 words)

Loving Oikawa has never been exclusive to Iwaizumi—not when Oikawa is a magnet, an incandescent star that pulls and pulls until you can’t help but watch him, love him. It shouldn’t have come as a surprise, but his heart breaks all the same.

life is chances that are taken by bohemianraspberries (iwaoi, 3970 words)

He isn’t afraid that Oikawa won’t want to be his friend anymore, because neither of them are like that and besides, he’s fairly sure by now that Oikawa likes boys too – it’s the fear that nothing will change. He might tell Oikawa that he thinks he’s not a hundred per cent straight, Oikawa might tell him the same, and they might continue to stay best friends forever, and Iwaizumi isn’t so sure that’s all he wants anymore. Because he’s pretty certain that it’s not just boys he’s into – it’s Oikawa.

the rest of your life by Queen_Dragon_Lightning_Castle (iwaoi, 2983 words)

When Hanamaki asks him what type of girl he’d go for, Hajime shrugs. ”Dunno. As long as she’s chill.” Thereupon, Tooru tries too hard when he doesn't need to try at all.

Underneath the Mistletoe by orphan_account (kuroken, 3811 words)

While Kenma and Kuroo are out together to see the local Christmas lights, they find a special display for taking festive pictures. If only they had paid closer attention to all of the decorations...

shut up (make me) by love_yourself_1358 (iwaoi, 11557 words)

alternatively: how Oikawa is the most oblivious person ever. But that's okay. Iwaizumi will still be his happy ending.

canon-to-me character studies

An Opponent Is Announced by agletbaby (genfic, 13141 words)

In which Sakusa is trying to prepare for the Olympics, but Oikawa Tooru's backstory keeps getting in the way.

don't talk to me or any of my fourteen children ever again by meregalaxiesandgods (ukai & karasuno vbc, 39963 words)

Ukai Keishin was not—and had no interest in becoming—a father. He’d somehow become responsible for fourteen children regardless.

most people never even get a single high school rival by sulfate (iwaoi, 5217 words)

Team Argentina gets to know Iwaizumi Hajime (27) Athletic Trainer.

Through a Mother's Eyes by aunnoo (iwaoi, 2427 words)

You might've only given birth to one, but you get to watch two grow. They are your boys. (If there's anything you'd wish upon them, it'd be happiness.)

silver fork by ratboyrussell (seijoh genfic, 2774 words)

Teammates, friends, family: those who help out when needed.

AUs

The Whole Of The Moon by IetjeSiobhan (kuroken, 9253 words)

Tetsurou has never thought about it before, but right now, he is absolutely and thoroughly terrified. Because he’s so, so in love, and he’s always known that Kenma is it for him, but what if he’s not it for Kenma?

just hear me out by loveclouds (iwaoi, 7679 words)

Iwaizumi's beeper has been going off for Oikawa since they've been kids. Oikawa's has only ever been silent.

other favorites

"Blankets" - Feb 2020 Prompts by hightopboots (kuroshou, 1472 words)

There's a blizzard, Kuroo and Daishou are stuck in a cabin together.

bad days and stomach pains by kittykawas (iwaizuumi & matsukawa genfic, 3705 words)

Iwaizumi isn’t one for dramatics, generally. He tends to be straight forward and pragmatic and he doesn’t like to catastrophize - not when Oikawa is right there catastrophizing enough for a small country - but sometimes, life gets the better of him. He has bad days. And today is a terrible, horrible, fucking bullshit day.

Comfortable by queerjab (bokuroo, 3108 words)

“Dude,” Kuroo covered his eyes with one hand, feeling how red his face was getting. “I promise you cannot help with this.” “Well how would I know? You won’t tell me!” “I started my fucking period!” Kuroo exclaimed, instantly regretting the admission. “Fuck,” he mumbled, keeping his eyes covered to avoid any further embarrassment. He’d never wanted so badly to sink into the floor. “Oh,” Bokuto breathed, and Kuroo considered slapping him. “Is that all?”

can we always be this close (forever and ever?) by lunarumbra (sakuatsu/osasuna, 3128 words)

Or: Sakusa visits Onigiri Miya one night to talk about weddings and rings.

The years shall run like rabbits by ladyoflalaland (ushiten, 7292 words)

Or, Ushijima Akemi watches her son’s relationship with Tendou change over the years and finds herself changing with it.

#ask #fic rec #ASK ME FOR MORE I HAVE MORE I HAVE MORE I DO #i promise i read things that aren't iwaoi sometimes ( <- lying)#also can you believe this is the CUT DOWN list of favorites.#i have more. i have so many more favorites.

In the spirit of P3R, which thieves would get along with which members of the SEES the most?

(...if it's fine, it can just be like, Wonder, Soy, Closer, Cattle, and...idk. There's a bunch of thieves now)

Ooo, good question! Was wondering if you or someone else would eventually ask about SEES, considering the asks for P5 and P4 before.

(Okay, originally I typed "I'll go for one P5X thief for each member of SEES, I think", and then I ended up mentioning at least two for each of them. Yeah, wow, we really do have a ton of thieves now, haha.)

P3 Protagonist

For the male protagonist, it's a little hard for me to imagine him intentionally bonding with anyone, but you might be able to make the argument that, logically, the character he'd be most likely to spend time with outside of combat is Yui, given his own online video game Social Link proves he can and has bonded with someone over playing together online, haha? I do think he'd probably get along with Wonder as well, because especially early on they have a similar vibe of just sort of going along with whatever comes their way.

For the female protagonist, it's sort of the opposite problem- I think she'd more consciously bond with everyone. But I like the idea of her and Kayo bonding because they're both kind of upfront and outgoing? She'd definitely click with Motoha, Tomoko, Yaoling, and Leo too, though, I think, just on vibes.

Yukari

Honestly, Yukari's a little tricky to say, because I think she'd take a bit to warm up to anyone, and there's no one that she has enough immediate overlap to be likely to click with, like Ann. I think Kayo is the closest, but I also think Yukari'd be wary of her because of her issues with her mom. They might eventually smooth things over, but that's not really the focus here.

Really, if I have to pick one person, I think it has to be Leo. They're both interested in acting, and though Leo might come on a little strong at first for Yukari, I feel like she'd warm up to him faster than most of the other members of the Wonder Squad, especially because he's also kind of struggling against his parents (even if his situation is different from Yukari's). I think Leo's conviction in what he wants to do, despite how his parents feel, would also go a long way. There's a bit more similarity between the two of them than either might think at first.

Yukari and Yukimi might also eventually bond over conflict particularly with their mothers, but I think that would be a bit slower than her and Leo, because Leo seems more open whereas Yukimi's mentioned to have a cold exterior that Yukari might not see past immediately.

Junpei

Junpei and Motoha. I believe it. I know it. Baseball buddies. They're also both the kind of "charge in and solve the problem" types, and generally I think their personalities and outlooks are just very compatible. I'm sure they'd still butt heads occasionally, because they both have very strong opinions when push comes to shove, but I absolutely think they'd be friends.

As far as baseball goes, that'd probably also mean Junpei spends a bit more time with Tomoko, too, and I think he'd like her even if they might not quite click the same way as he and Motoha.

Mitsuru

Seiji seems like the obvious person Mitsuru would bond with if they spent some time together, haha? They have similar aesthetics, and based on the limited info we have on Seiji right now, I think some similarities in personality + upbringing as well, even if there are obvious differences.

At the very least, they'd probably spar together sometimes and compare rapier techniques.

Oh, I'm sure Mitsuru would end up spending some time with Cattle as well, given he's the Wonder Squad's sort of leader/strategist (at least as we know him right now). I don't know if they'd click exactly, but I think they'd work together well.

Akihiko

I could see him getting along with Yaoling, as they both seem to have the same sort of enthusiasm, if that makes sense? That might be a bit of a shot in the dark, because there's still a lot we don't know about her (that we'll hopefully fill in a little with the third beta!), but it's just the impression I get. Leo might also get along well with him, considering lots of sparring and general exercise techniques are probably useful training for the field (tokusatsu actor) he wants to go into.

If he's looking for other athletes, then Mont and Motoha also make sense, although I'm not sure he'd quite click with either of them; Mont's a bit more refined/graceful than his approach, and while Motoha has a lot of energy I think he might wear her out, haha. Her sport isn't her entire life, the way his is (That is, "sport". Akihiko's a boxer, but his true "sport" is just always trying to get stronger, I suppose).

Fuuka

I'm between a couple characters on who might get along with Fuuka best, honestly. For one, I could see her and Tomoko getting along, as both of them kind of come across as softer/more shy, but actually have more conviction and skill than people tend to give them credit for? I could see them bonding over that, even if their interests differ, and that might lead to Fuuka spending some time with Motoha as well.

But then there's also Fuuka's conflict with her parents and the pressure they put on her, which I could see her potentially bonding with Yukimi and/or Puppet over, as we know they both struggle with pressure from their parents that they don't agree with as well.

If Riddle's robot Persona reflects an interest in any kind of mechanics or robotics, Fuuka might bond with her over that as well.

Aigis

I'm honestly not sure who Aigis might get most attached to, given in P3 canon she's always most attached to and protective of the protagonist because they're the one she sealed Death away inside of. That said, she might like Wonder, if he reminds her of them?

I am curious what she might think of Riddle and her robot Persona as well, but right now we know so little I can't really extrapolate anything from there.

Koromaru

Koromaru would get along with anyone, let's be real. But I could also see Kiyoshi getting kind of attached to him, given the only thing more supernatural than 26 "chosen ones" with psychic powers (wow. SEES + the current Wonder Squad really is a lot of people) is probably one of those "chosen ones" being a dog with psychic powers. I don't know if Koromaru would actually show a particular favoritism with Kiyoshi or not, but I'm sure he'd appreciate the extra attention as long as it came with walks, pets, and tasty food, haha.

Ken

I think Ken might like Cattle, thinking it over. Cattle's eager to teach and do phantom thievery, and in PQ2 Ken was definitely interested in learning. I think it'd also help that Cattle isn't really obviously older than him, the way everyone else is (except, I guess, maybe Riddle), so it'd feel less like there's a power imbalance he's trying to catch up to? He might even appreciate being taller than Cattle, haha.

From what I remember, I don't think Morgana and Ken quite clicked the same way over this in PQ2 (even despite having a Unison attack together), but I think the difference is that Cattle takes a much more serious/levelheaded approach, whereas Morgana's kind of hotheaded and goofy sometimes. As much as Ken deserves to just be a kid sometimes, he's not really going to consciously loosen up about it, so Cattle's approach is something I'd expect to resonate with him even more than Morgana's.

Let's be real, he'd also probably find Leo cool, but would absolutely not admit it.

Shinjiro

Okay, I feel a little bad that I keep grouping him based on cooking, but considering that's one of the main things we know about him right now... come on. Shinjiro and Shun for sure. I feel like they'd butt heads in the kitchen but actually have a really good time. Also absolutely skip school to have a cooking competition.

... Maybe if they team up they'd also have a better shot at helping Fuuka improve her own cooking ability, too, haha.

About Karen Page

so. i know this weird little argument should've ended long ago. but i'm in the process of rewatching the defenders saga and i'm actually in the middle of s2 of Daredevil....AND YES I WANNA WRITE A WHOLE TUMBLR POST ABOUT KAREN OK

but first, i wanted to give a little extra info or context or whatever i'm supposed to call it

here are the links to the posts relevant here

0 (me)

1 (me)

2 (me)

3 (nyxxhecate)

4 (nyxxhecate)

5 (nyxxhecate)

also the comments count too. look at whatever nyxxhecate commented on these posts

I unblocked nyxxhecate since i first blocked them, out of honest curiosity. right before i'm writing this actually.

I just wanted to see if they've commented anything else since then or if they made posts on their own about their opinions on Daredevil. Three of the links above are their posts, and idk if tumblr notifies for that but I still don't want to @ them.

I'm not interested in debating with them or starting another argument, and couldn't care less of they see this or not. I am not writing to this person like i was in my other posts, nor am i answering to their comments or whatever points they brought up in their reblogs.

there is ONE thing they said that rang with me though :

"knock your fucking self off that pedestal you're trying to put yourself in. Imagine the level of delusion one must have to think they're intelligent because, *checks notes* they typed in word salad to defend why they like two atrocious TV characters LMAO. You're on Tumblr not the fucking Congress, get a grip IJBOL"

I'm gonna be honest here - I DO enjoy typing word salad. I enjoy writing. I enjoy writing essays. I enjoy trying to use exact words to say what i want to say.

English is my second language, technically, yes, but I have been speaking it for more then ten years, and i'm doing my best to improve because i'm hoping that i'll get to work in english some day. My accent isn't perfect but I'm confident in my spelling and writing and everything.

I've been raised in french, I've done primary, middle and high school in french, and my uni is also french-speaking. I write everything in french all of the time. But since i've taught myself to think in english first sometimes, and none of my irl friends or family like Daredevil or Breaking Bad or anything i like in general - I don't get many chances to argue irl.

So yes, I use Tumblr as an outlet to type as much as I want, even if that means talking to a wall, but at least i get to talk about (IN LENGTH) things i love - and open some kind of discussion (although i'm not blind, i know that rarely anyone replies or anything, but that will hopefully come in time)

---

Now that that's said - let's get to the actual main course :

Karen Page !

As I've said in the beginning i am in the middle of s2 of DD, just finished EP6 : Regrets Only to be precise. I've already got a few things to say.

but first : I'll only talk about her in S1 and S2 and Defenders - because believe it or not, as much as I love Daredevil I AM SORRY but I HAVE NOT YET WATCHED SEASON 3. i miraculously haven't been spoiled about much, all I know is that Matt wakes up in church after his "death", boxes there, there's some kind of detective that seems important and he fights with Fisk again in his black outfit. THAT'S ALL I KNOW AND LET'S KEEP IT THAT WAY.

So.

what do i, Onyx LastName, think of Karen's character.

On my first watch, I didn't like her at all.

Not because she was a "hypocrite"or whatever everyone else is spewing but because I had this huge crush on Matt and was jealous of her.

I'll admit, that's all that my judgement was based on. I thought I didn't like her chemistry with Matt, the way that it made the Nelson-Murdock-Page trio awkward, and how it left Foggy on the sidelines. I like him. I related to him. He was suffering of Sidekick syndrome, with Matt getting powers, getting to be the hero, getting all the ladies, etc etc. I spent my whole life and I'm still actually spending it feeling like I have Sidekick Syndrome myself. If you also feel like you got that you'll know what I mean.

"So Foggy has a special place in your heart. Boohoo. what does that have to do with anything?" You've read this far and you're JUST NOW running out of patience??

Since that initial watch, and after watching countless videos, reading countless fanfics, and honestly my taste just having changed - my perspective of Matt shifted, and so has my opinion on Karen.

I don't think i'm blinded by my attration to Matt anymore, even if he still holds a special place in my heart.

But unfortunately, I still have some issues with Karen's character.

I don't think I've ever really talked about it on here, except maybe with a friend or two in dms, but it's true that I don't really like her. Or how was she was written. This post is not structured or outlined, it's a stream of consciousness...so let's hope i get the answer to that by the end of it.

Now i'm nowhere near agreeing with ANY of what nyxxhecate said, but knowing I wanted to have a definitive opinion of her and make a post about it maybe, I've been looking at her closely during my rewatch - and there are some things I've missed.

So, first, to correct my previous post,

Why is Karen attracted to Matt in the first place?

I made my post about the Foggy and Karen thing before rewatching and refreshing my memory of the ACTUAL EVENTS. I just wrote that in passing after seeing a reaction of that "date" at Mrs. Cardenas.

Here is an updated take :

I think Karen fell for Matt when she first lied to him about keeping the Union Allied file.

You just lived through an intense traumatic experience. You find yourself with a bloody knife in your hand next to the lifeless body of someone you knew and found really nice. Someone tries to hang you in your prison cell at night to make it look like you killed yourself, and no one believes you.

until Nelson and Murdock come in. You're not sure about their intentions at first but they seem kind and most importantly they believe you and are willing to defend you. They're giving you a chance. Not good samaritans but literal guardian angels.

While Foggy is hesitant at first, Matt "I believe you Miss Page"s you right off the bat. (everything's a verb if you squint hard enough)

Matt invites you to his place and assures he'll protect you.

Matt opens up about his blindness and is willing to be vulnerable in front of you.

Matt gives up his silk-sheeted bed to make sure you're comfortable.

All of that when you're vulnerable and Matt is tall and handsome and has this charming smile and ugh. How not to fall for him ? I mean you're wearing his shirt and the beautiful pink lighting in his living room is making everything all romantic. Also if you've noticed the billboard outside his window is for "Xining Airways", company that uses CHERRY BLOSSOM imagery in their advertisement. COME ON.

But then you get to talking about the case again - I mean the reason you're here in the first place - and he asks you an important question.

Did you keep the file?

You lie and say you didn't, feeling your heart beating faster. You're not even sure that sounded convincing at all. And you see the cogs turning in his head, and even if he let you off the hook, you know deep down he didn't really believe it. May seem like me extrapolating here but it IS obvious that he doesn't believe her. But as long as he's not pushing further, that doesn't change much for Karen anyway.

I think that his expression reads that he's seeing right through her.

He believed her when no one else would the first time - but seemingly for no reason.

Matt just KNEW you didn't do it. He saw right through you. You almost feel like he knows what you're thinking.

And again, that kind of connection that you're feeling, in an especially emotionally vulnerable state - plants the seed for love. EASILY.

Any of their awkward flirting before they started dating i am willing to close an eye on.

AFTER THAT? that's just cruel to Foggy and unprofessional and weird in general. Why the HELL are you holding hands in front of whatever DA or cop you just talked to to walk in Frank's hospital room?

Why are you kissing in front of Foggy???

I can understand the thing at Josie's but when you're in the middle of dealing with an extremely important case and Elektra's driver shows up out of nowhere and you're abandoning your partner in a situation that you created and ugh. ew. It's all so weird.

I don't like Karen and Matt dating any more than I did on the first watch but I don't see it through jealousy-tinted glasses and more for what it actually is. misplaced.

Season 2 is the least favorite Daredevil season of anyone I've ever met or talked to and I completely agree that the structure is strange, even if I get what they wanted to do with juxtaposing

Daredevil/Elektra/Hand stuff

and

Matt/Karen/Punisher stuff.

This juxtaposition, while I kinda get the vision, just isn't working. The Hand is the worst plot I have ever seen in my life, and that applies to Defenders too, so that's one reason, but the fact that they tried to mix everything together at once just felt weird pacing wise - and they lost characterization on Matt, Foggy and Elektra's part. All three and their relationships with each other were written weird.

...

Let's get back on track.

Season 2, Karen spends her time investigating and defending Frank.

And that is what she's most criticized for : "protecting and defending frank's actions" and "condemning Matt's lying when she's lying herself."

Frank Castle is a difficult subject.

He is the subject of many debates, wether in the fandom or in the actual show. Is he a hero? Are his murders justifiable? Are Matt and Frank two sides of the same coin? What message is he sending to the audience? How should he be interpreted by his audience? Is Frank redeemable? Is he a glorification or a fetishization of everything that's wrong with the USA? and so on so forth bla bla bla

What matters HERE is what KAREN thinks of him.

Karen is a very determined and ambitious journalist, to say the least. She'd do anything to get to the truth. These qualities that seem very noble at first are also her main flaws. By putting the story first, she throws caution the wind and that very recklessness of hers is what kills Ben Urich, and what compels her to defend Frank so adamantly.

But there's a facet of her personality that I haven't seen being delved into or explained anywhere - her sometimes misplaced but very much there Savior complex, or White Knight syndrome.

She empathized and honestly liked Mrs. Cardenas (a cute old little guatemalan christian lady, who had no one). She wanted to help her. She felt that she was treated unfairly, that all the tenants were treated unfairly, and that was what prompted her to want to take down Fisk. Fisk was using, manipulating and stealing blind people who were already unfortunate. Fisk is lying to the public and hiding his true criminal activities. Savior Complex is activated, now Karen has to find a way to bring him down, even if that means putting her nose where it doesn't belong and provoking the death of Ben Urich.

Now let's look at the situation in S2.

She empathizes with Frank Castle (a man who's entire family got killed and now has no one). He has some kind of moral code that seems noble to her. She feels that he's being treated unfairly, that no one is taking his dead family into account, or what he's already done as a soldier. Frank is unapologetically admitting and sticking by his actions and his code. He doesn't want to hurt anyone that doesn't deserve, in his eyes, to die. Reyes is not upholding her side of the wit-pro deal (She used Grotto as bait, someone Karen already empathized with). Reyes was purposefully trying to get Frank the death penalty for her own gain (she had her eye on the mayor's office) and is hiding a shady past. Savior Complex is activated, now Karen has to find a way to prove that Frank's not all bad and to expose Reyes, even if that means putting her nose where it doesn't belong and overstepping boundaries when she's not a lawyer, and frankly doesn't deserve to get Ben's desk or his job.

When you finally pin down her behavioral pattern and why she acts how she acts, it's easier to understand.

So yes, I understand Karen. (In my opinion at least.)

What makes her who she is is that savior complex of hers, that MORAL code of her own. How she sees herself and what she thinks is her PURPOSE is how she justifies her mistakes, or the risks she takes, to herself. As means to an end.

She doesn't seem to doubt herself or question herself enough to see that her behavior, even if her goal is noble, is not always right.

Her believing that she acts as a savior to others is precisely what makes her a little self-centered.

And, because Matt has this problem too sometimes, she is an interesting character to compare to him.

But now, see, as i've spend a lot of time writing this, my own cogs are turning. I think I've identified what my problem is with Karen.

It's how she's framed. by the writers. by the show.

We see Matt's guilt but don't see hers.

We see his internal turmoil but not hers.

We see him doubt himself all the time and seek for answers in his faith or in people but not her.

If we got to see Karen doubt herself more, show more of her guilt over her killing Wesley, her causing the death of Urich, that would make for a much more likeable and relateable character.

When she argues with Matt or something, what she says makes it seems "hypocritical" of her not to hold herself to the same moral standards than she does others.

But I don't think seeing the flaws in others means you don't see your own. Again, if we had seen Karen questioning and doubting herself, and feeling guilty for what she's done (and not just crying or having ONE nightmare about it. Her trauma should have been more explored in general. from the beginning.) then we'd see that she is self-aware and recognizes her own mistakes and her continuing to feed into her savior complex is her way of finding closure. or trying to save herself from being completely consumed by her own guilt.

So yes. I don't like Karen, not because I don't like her, but be..cause...I wish... we'd seen more of her? or at least framed her differently?

I didn't think I'd reach that conclusion. I thought I'd actually find a real reason not to like HER.

But that's maïeutique for you i guess. or to put it differently, rubber-ducking, right? Isn't that programming lingo?

Also maybe i'm not completely over how Matt and Karen third-wheeled Foggy. or how Matt doesn't really fit with any of his on-screen love interests and how I wish they hadn't dated. but that's a story for another day.

Thank you for reading this far, if you're still here! Tell me your thoughts and opinions on Karen or my own way of explaining it :)

:)) As another new fan, when you reposted just now a post about Armand and saying his love for Louis and a lot of people in the comments sound really excited for it, I feel a bit 😞 as will it be a case of they will be s1's version of Loustat? As in people will be raving over the chemistry of Armand and Louis? I just, idk, feel confused bc being a non book reader, I feel like we've just had Loustat and now it'll be gone? 😅 😭

Okay, anon, I'm so sorry. I went to answer this, had a ridiculously lengthy and detailed answer, and as I went to hit 'post now' tumblr deleted it all and said 'our servers aren't cool enough to handle your post right now!' and I was so nauseous, I spent so much time. I'm afraid this won't be as good, but I remember most of what I said, so I'll try to rehash it all best I can.

So, first of all, welcome to iwtv/tvc! it's always been chaos here. second of all, let's spend some time discussing the Armand-Louis-Lestat relationship, particularly in context of the first book and of the show, in turn!

Armand-Louis-Lestat has always been incredibly interesting and the show is, obviously ("the love of my life!") setting us up for continued interesting vibes. Here's what I will tell you about Armand and Louis in Interview (the book). As the show is setting up as well, Louis meets Armand in Paris following the "death" of Lestat. Up until Armand, Louis had been in an incredibly depressive episode (moreso than normal) because of Lestat's death. Meeting Armand fills Louis with this infatuation, and Armand, like all vampires, immediately falls deeply in love with Louis and his beauty and his remaining humanity. It's a beautiful couple of weeks/months, and I have no doubt that the show is going to capitalize on that and show us many many many cute, loving, sexy, and tender moments of Louis and Armand's relationship. What I will also tell you, without trying to spoil too much of the book, is that the period of happy and loving in Louis and Armand's relationship is very limited and, by the end of the book, Louis is so numb, so distant, so cold to Armand.

Now! I feel like I need to clarify that, in later books, Louis and Armand always reconnect, but I very much have always viewed it as a true friendship/companionship. I think, in a lot of ways, they both saw each other at their worst and have a trust that will always let them find solace in the other, even if it's just platonic.

With all that in mind, I actually have two passages from Interview (the book) that I'm going to type out and that I think are exceptionally important to Louis and Lestat's relationship, especially in comparison to Louis' relationship with anyone else.

In my version of Interview, the first passage is on page 123. It takes place immediately following Louis and Claudia "killing" Lestat:

"Claudia had wrapped Lestat's body in a sheet before I would even touch it, and then, to my horror, she had sprinkled it over with the long-stemmed chrysanthemums. So it had a sweet, funereal smell as I lifted it last of all from the carriage. It was almost weightless, as limp as something made of knots and cords, as I put it over my shoulder and moved down into the dark water, the water rising and filling my boots, my feet seeking some path in the ooze beneath, away from where I'd lain the two boys. I went deeper and deeper in with Lestat's remains, though why, I did not know. And finally, when I could barely see the pale space of the road and the sky which was coming dangerously close to dawn, I let his body slip down out of my arms into the water. I stood there shaken, looking at the amorphous form of the white sheet beneath the slimy surface. The numbness which had protected me since the carriage left the Rue Royale threatened to lift and leave me flayed suddenly, staring, thinking: This is Lestat. This is all of transformation and mystery, dead, gone into eternal darkness. I felt a pull suddenly, as if some force were urging me to go down with him, to descend into the dark water and never come back. It was so distinct and so strong that it made the articulation of voices seem only a murmur by comparison. It spoke without language, saying, "You know what you must do. Come down into the darkness. Let it all go away.""

The second passage is just a few paragraphs later, on page 124:

"...'He deserved to die!' she [Claudia] said to me.

"'Then we deserve to die. The same way. Every night of our lives,' I said back to her. 'Go away from me.' It was as if my words were my thoughts, my mind alone only formless confusion. 'I'll care for you because you can't care for yourself. But I don't want you near me. Sleep in that box you bought for yourself. Don't come near me.'

"'I told you I was going to do it. I told you...' she said...'Louis, I told you!' she said, her lips quivering. 'I did it for us. So we could be free.' I couldn't stand the sight of her."

The reason I think these passages are really important, especially in context of the show, is because this is Louis when he wasn't telling us everything. According to the show, Interview (the book) has already happened, at least up to a point. Louis has told Daniel this story before, but is doing so now with more truth, more nuance, more history. He kept out a lot, namely the depth of his relationship with Lestat, out of hatred or disdain or repression or something, towards himself, towards Lestat, towards life, etc. And yet these passages highlight something so so incredibly important, which is how much Louis loved/loves Lestat.

Lestat's death haunts Louis. In Europe, he talks about his grief in the narration, and it appears that in Claudia's diaries in the show, she discusses his grief too, namely that he is worse than ever following the death of Lestat.

Have you ever heard of how the opposite of love isn't hate, but apathy? I've heard it a lot in my life, never understood it until I got older, and I think Louis and Lestat, and Louis and Armand, are perfect examples of that.

Lestat drives Louis crazy. He lights fires in him, both good and bad, and, no doubt, damages Louis' blood pressure (if vampires have blood pressure to worry about, I guess), but he makes Louis feel, he makes him be alive. He drives Louis so crazy that Louis interviews TWICE about his relationship with the man.

Louis and Armand, while sweet in its own way, and will, undoubtedly, have its sweet moments, is going to fizzle out. And I think the show will very much do that on purpose to show us how any relationship Louis has (and Lestat has) pales in comparison to what he has with Lestat.

I've talked about it in a couple of asks before, about how I think the show is going to take a slightly different direction than the books re: polyamory and re: Loustat as a whole, and my general consensus is that Louis and Lestat are endgame in the books, but it's going to be so much more apparent, and will happen so much quicker, in the show. The show has so much content to work with re: storylines that there is no need to play relationship will-they-won't-they with Louis and Lestat. They can stabilize them (to a point -- any relationship with Lestat is always going to be slightly unstable) and have the actual plot (Akasha, Memnoch, Amel, etc.) be the main problems to work through versus relationship drama 24/7.

To sum up, I think Louis and Armand are going to get their light, yes, in season 2. But I think it is only going to set it up for us to get an even more passionate Loustat, an even more loving Loustat, an even more present Loustat, come end of season 2 and into season 3.

I made the cheer squad!!! I have a lil more to say but that's the important bit- updates under the cut like always ✨

Cheer tryouts were waaay different than i expected!! I kind of thought it'd be a big ordeal but it was just me and one other freshman who tried out, so we were obvs accepted lol Not that we wouldn't have made it in anyways since we both looked fucking great!! Especially considering I haven't even done any of those moves since last fall. The squad is pretty small and i don't think they do competitive stuff but that's fine, we never did in high school either. I'm more interested in getting to know the rest of the silkball team we'll be cheering on, if the try-outs were any indication of what's to come 🤭 There's this cute owl-guy I might have my eye on- i think he works at the tavern too!!

Oh yeah, i also got the work-study at the tavern! I figure i'll just quit if i don't like it lol but anyways come say hi if ur on campus- i promise you'll recognize me on sight. I'm pretty easy to spot hehe

Oh oh oh and congrats to Mire for getting on the team too!! and for scoring some points with their crush (they can thank me later~). I wonder if they're gonna be able to play well while being cheered on lmaaooo

Classes have been fine, but tbh i haven't rlly been able to pay attention to them since i've been busy partying, meeting new people, and adjusting to life on campus! It's kinda overwhelming, my contacts have like doubled since i got here. And everything is like...way different, yknow? Obvs I didn't think it'd be the SAME as high school, but the vibes are soooo different is all. idk what to make of it all yet but i know that im LOVING being away from home and enjoying my freedom so far <3 Cathy told me the first month or so would probably be rlly hard but idk what she was talking abt bc no one grounds me for waking them up when i get home at 2 am and not even the raven queen can stop me from eating icecream for dinner now.

+++++

In reality, this party was kind of lame, even as Respite typed otherwise to his friends— they'd opted to ditch him for a studying session, so he sure as hell wasn't going to let on that the party was anything but lit. They had a feeling most of them probably wouldn't care, but Willow might feel a touch regretful, so the lie was worth it.

After sending the message to the group chat and briefly checking tinder for any new DMs or matches— maybe he could escape this place and turn the night around— to no avail, they pocketed their phone. How annoying. They rolled their eyes and leaned against the wall, taking a slow sip at the drink they’d been nursing for the past hour. Respite wasn’t really a fan of drinking on the best of nights and all they had to offer here was shitty beer. After a moment of pouting and observing the dimly lit room, they turned and parted the dusty, moth-eaten curtain to look out the window again.

If anyone had noticed the way Respite kept flitting out to the porch or the front window, no one said anything. They did try to keep it discreet, at least, and simply worked it into the way they naturally made the rounds every now and then to talk to different people or get another drink. He liked to move around a lot at parties anyways to make sure that he saw everyone's faces and said hi to them all.

On the opposite side of the spectrum was Mettie, who, shortly after arriving and greeting a few people, had taken an edible or something and parked himself outside on the porch. From there, he seemed to be spending most of his time at the party smoking with other people who needed some fresh air and enrapturing (ensnaring?) them with his long-winded conversation. Respite wasn't sure if this had been his goal when agreeing to come to the party, but it had been the result.

It dawned on Respite slowly that they hadn't really seen Mettie at a party like this before. Well, okay— they'd seen Mettie at one or two big house parties in passing, but they'd never actually spent much time watching him. He’d been the dealer for about 75% of their high school (it was a devastating loss to the community when he’d done his year abroad), so it was hard not to run into him from time to time at parties. But in high school, he was mostly regarded as weird and off-putting. People got what they wanted from him and were generally polite, but it wasn't like he was always invited to stick around. And when he was, it did usually end up like this— he'd put himself in a less populated corner somewhere and make puzzling conversation with those willing to listen.

In their hometown, it had felt like everyone else tolerated it because Mettie was a valuable resource. They knew his penchant for rambling, though, and tried not to engage— Respite himself included.

They couldn't place the feeling as they watched Mettie from the window now, with a handful of people gathered around him, held captive by the way he spoke. These people weren't just being polite, either. They were listening— sometimes even smiling and laughing with him. Sure, they were probably stoned too, but that hardly mattered. It's not like this was the first time it had happened since he’d learned Mettie was also attending Strixhaven. At their cafe shift, during orientation, and at the career fair...things were clearly different here.

A couple of years ago, Respite never would've invited Mettie to a house party with him. It would've been social suicide— he knows; he'd thought about it once early on and didn't even get far enough to invite Mettie before the ridicule started up— and though it had taken a lot to fight against their instinct, they needed to test their theory: Did people here actually like Mettie's company? This party seemed to confirm it for the positive.

In Respite's mind, the jury was still out on whether or not Mettie was cool, but at the very least it seemed like no one was going to corner him in the bathroom and interrogate him about why they saw him talking to the freak who looked like he was one bad day away from shooting up the school (untrue, of course, and tasteless in a way only teenagers could be, but Respite had forced out a laugh at the time).

There was a feeling of relief in that. In knowing that neither of them would be under constant scrutiny from peers and adults alike. Being unknown was freeing in some ways.

But there was a dread in it, too. In losing the structure Respite had spent years delicately building the pieces of their identity around.

A memory from when they were kids came to mind unbidden, of the time Respite had accidentally knocked over one of Mettie's earliest sculptures. It had been unsteady and the base made of air-dry clay toppled easily when Respite bumped the dresser in a fit of energetic excitement, sending it crashing to the ground. The roughly attached bits and bobs came loose and scattered across Mettie's bedroom floor, transitioning from art to disjointed pieces without purpose or clarity in an instant.

For what it was worth, Mettie had taken it in stride even as Respite desperately crawled under his bed with a flashlight to gather everything, apologizing and promising to help him glue it back together. After staying quiet for some time, he'd declared it an act of fate that only added to the piece and gave it new meaning. Respite didn't understand, but they'd been so terrified of being yelled at that they nodded in agreement even as their cheeks were pink from crying. They still attempted to fit some of the pieces back together until Mettie insisted they just put it in an empty shoe box so that he could make something new of it. To this day, Respite had no idea if Mettie had ever fixed it, restructured it, or simply left it as a memorial in his closet.

They wrinkled their nose up at the unwarranted assault of a flashback. Clearly they'd been hanging around Mettie too much already if their thoughts were starting to get this metaphorical. He downed the last of his warm beer, hoping the bile on his tongue would force him to refocus on the party.

There’s Only So Much You Can Control (Markiplier x Reader)

(This was a request in my dms.) You and Mark end up planning a first date after Tyler figures out you guys like each other, and turns out the two of you become anxious blobs when it comes to being more than friends. Fluff, happy ending :)

First dates can be extremely daunting. Lots of questions pop up in the preparation for what could be a newly blooming relationship, but most of the time this anxious spiraling only leads to a bad experience. You’ve worked with Mark for a while now, participating in videos, the occasional edit. A couple weeks ago you and Tyler were hanging out, and you got to talking about if there’s anyone you’re interested in currently. Tyler, who is notoriously single, pretty much had nothing to discuss. However, you started seeing Mark in a new light recently, more than a friend or creative partner. Of course, you were playing a dangerous game by telling Tyler about this thought of yours, considering he has a hard time keeping things to himself.

“You WHAT.”

Was his overdramatic response when you told him about your interest in Mark. It didn’t take long for Tyler to do some digging, and he found out Mark was also beginning to have this romantic interest crop up. So, in his fashion, Tyler threw the two of you together because he figured you two would never say anything yourselves. He was right, but that’s not something you’d admit to him. Instead of being a normal person and offhandedly telling one of you that the other was interested, he put all three of you in a group chat, proceeded to explain how you both were secretly into each other, and then left. You were busy working on something when the text chain began, and boy did it throw you off guard.

“Uh… what.”

Was all you could manage to type, which probably didn’t seem very romantic in any way.

“This is why I don’t tell Tyler anything.”

You laughed to yourself.

“LMAO, ikr?”

Luckily things became a lot less awkward very fast. You sat back in your chair trying to think of something to say until Mark did that for you.

“So, I’m pretty sure if we don’t go out he will in fact kill us. So, I guess we better get planning?”

How was this happening right now? Perhaps your friend being nosey wasn’t the worst thing in the world after all. You decided to respond a little sarcastically, without thinking about how it would read over text.

“Hm, idk. Maybe not.”

“Oh. Okay. :(“

“WAIT I WAS KIDDING I DO WANT TO GO OUT.”

“Oh. Okay. :)”

The next thirty or so minutes were spent discussing what kind of first date to go on, which proved to be rather difficult. Dinner seemed boring, staying in was too boring, but there were also a ton of things you couldn’t really do without being recognized. Eventually you settled on dinner at somewhere a little more private, a high-end spot with a wide variety of exotic foods. It wasn’t your first choice, but it would have to do. Besides, Mark could probably make anything fun.

When the day of the date rolled around later in the week, you spent probably two hours getting ready. Obviously you dress pretty casually in videos and the like, but you figured this was a much more serious occasion. Then again, you didn’t want to be overdressed. But would underdressed be worse? You decided to go overboard, because then at least it wouldn’t be underwhelming. The two of you hadn’t seen each other for a little bit, but you had been texting on and off since Tyler’s little chat stunt. Turns out, you were both really bad at texting under these circumstances. And as fate would have it, you were also really bad at talking to each other as well.

While you were putting the last finishing touches on your outfit and such, your phone dinged with a notification from Mark.

“Five minutes out.”

You almost forgot to respond between all the excitement and anxious nausea.

“Yay!!”

You were hoping that he would end up finding your apartment okay, which he did thankfully. There is certainly another universe where he forgot which number yours is and knocked on a stranger’s door. But no, he knocked on yours, and you held back the urge to throw up when you heard knuckles on the door. Instead, you nervously put one foot in front of the other and made it to the doorknob, undoing the lock with shaking hands. When you finally opened the door after what felt like hours of working up the courage, he was there in the doorway, holding a vase of flowers. Your eyes darted between the flowers, his face, and the fact that he was WAY more dressed up than normal. You silently thanked the stars that you decided on being overdressed. Apparently Mark was also speechless, as he looked like he was about to drop the vase. You quickly went to grab it from his sweaty palms and awkwardly smiled, taking it into the kitchen. When you realized he was just kind of idling in the doorway, you realized you hadn’t said anything.

“Oh my god, I’m so sorry. You can come in.”

He took a few steps into the space, stuffing his hands in his pockets.

“It’s alright. Nice place.”

You forgot to respond as you changed the water in the vase. It was clearly a custom bouquet from some nice place. You thought about how he must’ve rushed to get this ordered in the past few days. You turned to walk out of the kitchen, but Mark was walking to meet you there, and so you ran into each other.

“Ah, I’m- I’m sorry. I am like not paying attention at all and like honestly I thought I was gonna throw up before you got here, I do not know what I’m doing right now.”

“Oh, are you okay? We can do this another-”

“No, like I’m so nervous right now and I thought it was gonna make me vomit.”

You let out a meek laugh and realize that you’re not even looking at him, hands still shaking.

“Well, if it makes you feel any better I’m really nervous too, and I kind of thought about taking a U-turn on the way here like five different times.”

He chuckles, almost under his breath. You finally look at him again, trying to steady your breath.

“You uh, you look really nice. Like I knew you were capable of dressing up because you like go to award shows and stuff but uh, I’ve never seen it in person.”

“Well I’ve never once seen you dress nice so…”

You playfully punch his arm.

“Okay just because I’m awkward does not mean you get to make fun of me.”

You finally share a laugh, and it’s not quiet and petrified. Your mind starts to clear and you forget why you were so scared to go on this date in the first place. It’s the same guy you’ve always known, and besides, if he’s nervous too then hey, at least you can be awkward together.

“Sorry, sorry. I was trying to say that I’ve never seen you dress nice BUT, it’s a nice change.”

You smile, taking a sarcastic bow.

“Oh wow, we have royalty over here guys.”

Mark jokes, turning to the personless air around him.

“So, are we doing this?”

“Hm, maybe not. I actually have this thing I forgot about-”

You glare at him and tap your foot like some kind of impatient cartoon.

“Okay, okay yeah, we’re doing this.”

And so the two of you finally make your way out of your apartment. You wonder if you’ll be late for your reservation, but if so oh well. There’s only so much you can control, and getting over your fear and enjoying this date is something you can control, so that’s all you decide to focus on as you walk to his car.

Okay gimme 1, 3, and 14 for your little guy

>:3!!!! from this ask meme thing

answering these out of order since question 1 got Lengthy

3. What is your OC's fatal flaw? Are they aware of this flaw?

idk how much this counts but it is like. 98% of his personality??

casil firmly believes that every single person is good (by his arbitrary standard) and if they aren't good, they can be "fixed" (unless they're just straight up evil [again, by his own arbitrary standard] in which case they're going to explode.)

as an extension of this, he'll trust anyone, put his life into anyone's hands, etc as long as they're the least bit aligned with his interests. ultimately he wants to help as much as possible but his methods of going about it are oftentimes far more consequential than if he'd just walk past.

he has enough awareness to be like 'maybe i should trust people less' but then he just leans on his friends' morals more and they're. well. they are all making each other better AND worse in wildly different ways in there

14. How does your OC want to be seen by other characters?

i think ultimately he wants to be seen as someone who's moved beyond his criminal past and is now some kinda shining beacon of hope and wisdom.

he is a beacon of hope but maybe not wisdom, yet. he's the glue that holds everything together and he's the reason everyone will keep pressing on but, he never really grew out of his background despite desperately wanting to atone for it. so much of him is still stuck metaphorically on the streets that he can't escape it, ykno? if the path of least resistance means picking a lock he's still #1 lockpicking guy

What memory would your OC rather just forget?

first thing that comes to mind would probably be when he lost his oath?

so for the uninitiated, my oc casil is a paladin, oath of devotion type guy. swearing to protect the innocent and his cause. before he became a paladin, he was a thief and he was pretty good at it, until he kept getting overconfident and his 'petty teenaged pickpocket just trying to get by' thing became a 'guy who is two steps away from running a small crime ring with other petty teenaged pickpockets' thing. and he generally got into trouble a bunch. he spent a Lot of time getting arrested and getting fished out of bigger issues with the law by his mom (was a paladin, considers herself retired now, loves him very much)

he's a paladin now because after a lot of this he was like 'ykno. this sucks. i should be like my mom and do better for myself and my friends' and had like a 5 yr training montage of squireship. graduated from squire school. took his oath. got abducted by aliens shortly after. ykno

so anyways, that memory he wants to forget:

tldr trying to get back into his hometown didn't go so well from a combination of him refusing to pay the fine to enter the city and him being recognized as That Incredibly Annoying Kid From Five Years Ago, and they didn't really care to hear about his arc of recovery and finding himself.

so he ends up in jail . a very familiar place for him, and there's nobody who can help him. he broke out of his cell by sheer force of will, picked the locks to get his friends out, got all their gear back, and when the guards swarmed in to be like, 'hey, dude, get back in there,' and attacked him he kind of. freaked out a lot? and single-handedly took out all of them.

he had a tangible moment of clarity and awareness that his oath was broken after the first guard and he didn't really care after that, since, without his oath, he didn't really have anything else to lose, and his friends weren't going to hold him back.

anyways in his current state he'd do it again . and he doesn't want to think about that too hard so he'd rather forget the whole thing. he desperately wants his oath back but he's not sure if that's possible anymore

#kc takes questions #casil #i am very incredibly normal about him and i want to make him soup so badly

I don’t know many toddlers that can put together such colorful sentences as ‘As your father said after I laid him down on the fresh outside grass to give him the most absolutely devastating life changing dicking down he’ll ever receive in his entire fucking life; If you can’t say anything fucking nice don’t say a single fucking thing at fucking all. ‘ But you can’t even put together a decent fucking ‘yer mom’ joke so IDK maybe the pool of experience you’re pulling from is really fucking low, like… puddle sized.

You razed 15 shades of fucking shit and made multiple posts condemning my reply but block every ability any user may have to defend themselves from you, on the flip side of this foil coin that is filled with shit instead of chocolate you seem to enjoy starting fires but then don’t seem to fully understand how to fucking put them out.

Well, hello somethingscarlet13, I’m a fucking grease fire and I’m here to give you the third fucking degree, so strap in and strap on fuckface.

Lets start with tumblrs classically fucking broken tagging system which you don’t seem to fucking understand. I’ll give you the rundown:

First off, the tagging system is pretty fucking broken. Anyone who has spent time on this hellsite knows this. You can make a post and post it with all the tagged properly put in and that shit still wont show up if you search the tag using the tagging system. Happens to me constantly. Paradoxically, using the tagging system to look for things you’re interested in will cause you to not see half the shit posted in that tag. They’ve done a little work to fix this but a day late and a dollar short, it’s harbored such ill will that I’ve not seem many people use the system that way.

I use it the search bar way. In which I do something as fucking unheard of as just putting the word ‘reylo’ into the search bar and searching for it.

Which, allow me to show you something:

What’s that fucking look like to you?

Could it possibly be? Did I simply type the word ‘reylo’ into the fucking search and find your poorly tagged post @somethingscarlet13?

Now this may come as a shocker to you too but the tag ‘Anti SPACE reylo’ is actually the wrong tag. The tag you’re looking for to insure festering cunts like me don’t come around is ‘anti-reylo’ OR ‘anti_reylo’ since just simply posting the words ‘anti SPACE reylo’ will make it show up in a search.

Why is it this way? I don’t fucking know, ask tumblr. Probably the same reason I can’t look up ‘erotic’ anymore because that’s what happens when they ban half their fucking platform.

OR, you can alter the word Reylo. You seemed to understand this in the body of your post because you were censoring the word but then for whatever the fuck reason you failed to do the same in your tags, which made it fucking show up anyways. And here I fucking am, proof you didn’t fucking think that one through.

Secondly, I don’t fucking know how you do callout posts if you don’t tag the person you’re calling out. What the fuck do you think ‘Callout’ means? How unfuckingefficient that must be to argue with a moron like you who says whole words and doesn't seem to understand what they fucking mean. How the fuck are you going to start a fight in a tag then turn off notification because you didn’t realize that calling someone out means yelling their fucking name across the room and throwing hands?

You are the worst fucking anti I’ve ever fucking met.

And might I say lastly, I’ve been through your posts and Jesus Fuck man it’s ironic you keep telling me to go the fuck outside when I don’t think you’ve seen sunshine in 3 fucking years. I was trying to find the original post you made that kicked all this shit off and I was over 20 fucking pages in before I could find it and that was only a day ago.

I’ve not seen such a negative dashboard in so fucking long I thought I stumbled onto a fucking secret nazi account, not that you need to hide that on this platform.

I will be the first to admit I have a bad temper and like to fucking shout about shit online but my dashboard is mostly filled with political things of importance, cute animals, and reylo, I don’t generally post angry cruelhearted things like wishing death upon people in fandom. I don’t think I have a single fucking anti post besides the ones were I’m replying to an anti. I don’t even wish death on antis I just want them to all fuck off. I may hate you and if I heard about your death tomorrow my response would be ‘Ach, couldn’t of happened to a better guy /s’ but I don’t wish fucking death on you actively.

You have posts where you’re telling people who are in fandom straight up to fucking die and telling others to attack them.

You have posts that attack your own sister, saying absolutely wild shit such as ‘I can’t wait until you(the sister) dies’.

Bitch, you don’t need to just go outside, you need to fucking talk to someone.

Getting mad and shouting because assholes are in your tag is one fucking thing but telling people they need to fucking die because they enjoy things you don’t like is a whole new fucking level of fucked up.

You need to take a break from tumblr and go talk to a fucking therapist.

#anti talk #this one was a fucking nightmarish rabbithole let me fucking tell you

HEY! 🗣

Hi. 🙃

Hope you're gettin' yourself extra hydrated and well rested today! 😉

Anyways, I was just wondering. When are you gonna give us more art and backstory for that Becky With The Good Hair, huh? 😏

I *NEED* to know more about this cyborg beauty!! 😫

And uhh.. this may be weird of me to mention this but, even though I know it's not canon to your au, a small part of me in the back of my mind kinda ships her with AM, in like, an aloof Tsundere girl x Shy boy type of dynamic. (Can't name an example rn but hopefully you get it)

I mean,,, since the two of them are machine in some way (one more than the other) it just makes sense to me. Idk, my brain just comes up with crazy things sometimes. I just think they'd be cute. 🤷‍♀️😅

Hiiii!!!! Finally someone asks about Becky!!!

Okay so Becky (short for Rebecca obviously), is a very unique case amongst the survivors. For one, she only got placed in the sanctuary 10 years after the other four, during that time BE was “working on” and “saving” her. She is very distant from the others, possibly even more than Evan, but she doesn’t try to provoke BE like he does. Generally she rather likes BE and the sanctuary as opposed to the life she had before all this. I’ll probably go deeper into her backstory in a different post, as I have short comics planned for everyone like the one I did with Tiffany. But to simplify, she spent most of her life bedridden, in and out of hospital, not helped by her own personal belief that she wouldn’t amount to anything since the doctors commonly told her that she was unlikely to make it past 23. BUT HEY! HERE SHE IS! Fixed up by BE (Although she still has POTS, cause I have POTS so she can suffer with it to)! Due to BE enhancements, and rapid evolution she underwent pretty much, she is far more athletic, intelligent, and “odd” looking than the other survivors. Most of the time she is doing physical activities, I picture her the type that gets upset if she sits still too long. She also really likes dressing up; like more than anyone else in this au. And Gloria is happy to see her new clothes, same with BE, so why would she pass up on such a lovely opportunity.

And you know what? Adds some canon fuel to your ship

So even before you sent this ask, these two definitely do have a interesting dynamic. They are two sides of the same coin in a way. Becky is a human given robotic parts, whilst Autumn is a robot given human parts. And both of them do have a habit of just staring in mirrors for concerning periods of time just pondering their existence and if the body they are in is actually theirs.

Further more! I actually like shipping, I think it’s fun for everyone, so I really don’t mind you or anyone else shipping these characters as long as it’s not Naomi (for obvious reasons).

Anyhow have a good day!!!!
