✨️My Undertale Headcanons✨️
Tumblr media
When they came out of the underground, most/all of the characters live next to eachother like a neighborhood. Mettaton has a big mansion and it's a little far from the rest of them, but it's still close enough to be part of it. He helped to afford a new "Blook Acres" for his cousins, Dummy, Napstablook and Mad Mew Mew (Shyren and her sister live next to them). Sans and Papyrus made their home exactly how it was when they were in the underground. Toriel, Frisk, Asgore and Flowey's house are right next to theirs. Alphys and Undyne live together and it's right next to Sans and Papyrus' house. Muffet and the other spiders have a Bakery and Grillby has a bar/restaurant.
Some of the monsters stayed in the underground. It's very silent there now that almost everyone is gone, that's one of the reasons why some monsters stayed — because of the silence. It's a bit depressing sometimes thinking about how that place is now so empty when there were so much people and happiness everywhere. Now it's just the snow and empty houses in Snowdin, waterfalls and water drops in Waterfall, and the sound of lava and the core in Hotland. MTT's resort is also closed. Monster's history is still preserved there, so some humans go to the underground to learn about history.
Mettaton loves chick flicks and that's how his love for the humans started. He found some of them at the dump, they came from different decades and not all of his collection is about romance, he once found DVDs about talk shows and quiz shows, also black n white movies from the golden age of hollywood. He didn't know the name of most of the actors or where those movies came from, except that they came from the surface. He knew at that moment that he wanted to be like them. He also found some CD's and even not knowing them so well, he absolutely loves pop singers like Lady Gaga, Beyoncé. He just never had enough information to know about their other albums or their personal lives. That was too far from his reality. Now that all the monsters are outside, he really wants do befriend them and it's a big fan of Rupaul's Drag Race. He would love to be on that show. Mettaton now has a lot of human fans now too. He loves to post things on social media, having thousands of followers in each one of them. He also has two or more shows in a human TV channel, maybe even his own MTT channel.
Mad Mew Mew ABSOLUTELY LOVES Babymetal. The RAGE mixed to that japanese kind of cuteness. IT'S PERFECT!!! Her favorite song is Doki Doki Morning (She likes meowing during the "mew mew mew" part and when the metal finnaly strikes it's just RAGEEEEE but then the song is cute again and she's all "mew mew mew :33333"). She listens to Babymetal alongside Alphys and Frisk. Now she's an otaku too just because of Alphys. They are friends. Mew Mew still has a little crush on Undyne, but it's not like she wants to date her anymore.
Alphys dances to Babymetal alongside Frisk and Mew Mew. They live in good terms and Alphys let them have the doll because she's more happy with it than Alphys was for just having that doll. She has a little crush on Mad Mew Mew by the way, because it's a living version of her anime waifu. They became good friends and Alphys watched Mew Mew Kissy Cutie with her so that she could understand the lore, because of her Mad Mew Mew is now also otaku. Alphys loves Saylor Moon, Pretty Cure franchise, Candy Love and other kinds of anime. She likes to read yaoi and yuri sometimes.
Papyrus turned out to be a big fan of Iron Maiden. Sans sometimes listen to their songs with him and both skip the songs that talk more about violence because Papyrus don't like it much. What is funny to Sans is that Papyrus' timbre perfectly matches the musical notes of the band's vocalists (especially Bruce Dickinson, who, let's face it, is everyone's favorite) and because of this it is more comfortable and free for him to sing all the notes. His favorite song is CLEARLY Alexander The Great, for obvious reasons. Sans' and Papyrus' favorite album is Somewhere in Time. Sans relates a little to the lyrics of "Deja Vu", but Papyrus likes the band a lot more than him. Undyne likes Iron Maiden too and sometimes sings them on karaoke with Papyrus, both acting and making heroic poses while they sing. Flowey enjoys it too but his kind of metal is a little heavier.
Tumblr media
So cute
Sans reminds me of Porco Rosso. It's not a headcanon I just wanted to tell you guys. Their personality is very similar and that's how I see Sans' character.
Sans likes to listen to Iron Maiden with Papyrus but also enjoy some calmer songs. I'm not sure who is his favorite artist, but I think that he would listen a little bit to Lana Del Rey. Especially her latest albums. He really likes the instrumental ending in "If You Lie Down With Me". He knows that some people consider her too "girly" for him to listen, but he really doesn't mind, it's good music after all. He likes calm songs with good instrumental and good lyrics.
Flowey starts living with the other monsters too, like in the "flower pot au". Most of his 'friends' know that he's prince Asriel, but he asked them to call him Flowey, even Toriel and Asgore. When worried, sad or having a deep conversation, sometimes Toriel or Asgore call him "Asriel", mostly Toriel. This makes him very emotional. He's also learning how to develop emotions again and it's being hard. Flowey discovered that listening to metal can calm his nerves, letting it all out. It's very funny to watch a little flower headbanging to a death metal song. He also enjoys singing guttural and he feels better after doing it so. It's like he can express his angry side without harming anyone in the process (Frisk is teaching him how to do it).
Asgore and Toriel are getting well together. They are becoming friends again, even flirting sometimes. Both of them talked about how they felt after those events in the underground and explained their point of view, finally ending that stupid distance. Asgore feels guilty for what he did, and Toriel understands that he had to do it because he thought it was the only option. They've been recovering from the greif of their children and everything seems to be better now. Being eachother's bestfriend again really helps a lot dealing with the guilt. They understand that they had to go and it wasn't their fault.
Frisk is a big AURORA fan due to her pacifist songs. They feel like her songs give them the energy to keep being a good person, caring for other people and helping the world. Papyrus enjoys some of her songs too because Frisk explained to him what the lyrics meant. Frisk tells Flowey that "Churchyard" makes them think of him (he understands why but gets grumpy because of it)(and it also makes them think of Sans, but they never told him because these are memories from other save). Some of their favorite songs are Animal, A Different Kind Of Human, Apple Tree, All Is Soft Inside, Soft Universe, It Happened Quiet. Toriel pretends that doesn't relate to the lyrics of Midas Touch to avoid explanation (she heard Frisk listening to it one time and paid attention to the lyrics, so that's how that happened).
Asgore and Toriel enjoy some calmer songs too. Sans is one of Toriel's best friends, and one day he came to their house and Toriel asked him to put any song he likes. He choosed "Let The Light In", which is another one from Lana that he listens to, and that's how Toriel started listening to her too. Again, only her latest albums (they feel that her older albums are too sad). Because of them Asgore also started to listen to her songs. They like to make "tea parties" for their friends while Toriel brings her butterscotch pie and Asgore makes the tea, hearing those songs playing in the background. It brings such a cozy feeling.
And then the karaoke moment starts and Papyrus and Undyne are screaming on the microphone. Mettaton likes to sing too (sometimes with Shyren), Napstablook controls the audio. Asgore tries, but he knows he's not the best at singing. Mad Mew Mew wants to sing Babymetal, Alphys really wants to sing with her but she's too embarassed to do it so Undyne helps sometimes and encourages her. Frisk dances with them because they're not really into singing. Sans is too lazy to sing and he says that he's not the best at it.
I wanna add more headcanons to this list. Gonna keep updating when thinking about new ones!

@faust-bite and I were talking about this for a few hours.
But the mansion + the castle is doing secret Santa. Everyone pulls a name. BUT. rather than a gift they have to do a PowerPoint presentation on the person, just going off of what you can find in history books. You cannot talk to the person for information.
Minor rules:
The writers can't do each other
The Frenchies can't do each other
The castle trio have to do someone in the mansion
The brothers can't do each other
Sebastian will obviously not be part of this, but he is enjoying every single moment.
Theo got stuck doing Will. Which he was really upset about, but now he's invested.
Vincent is doing Charles...the lil angel baby is up there talking about ALLLL the shit Charles has done. Faust is covering Charles ears every now and then so he doesn't have to hear.
Leonardo: I hated researching you
Mozart: ...what the hell did you find
Leonardo: WHY would you write to your sister about SCAT
Mozart: ....
Leonardo: AND YOU MEOWED AT PEOPLE. Goddamn catboy
You also have to take a shot every time there is immense trauma.
Theo and Mozart bonding over how much they loved their wives
Arthur and Dazai bonding over being awful to their wives
Theo: you may be into scat.. but at least you were nice to your wife
Mozart: forget everything you've ever known about me.
Vlad is doing Dazai, aka Sebastian is saying half the word because this man can't say a damn thing in Japanese.
Vlad: here's a list of Dazai's drug abuse
Dazai: is it in alphabetical or chronological?
Also take a shot every time Leonardo attempts to say Mozarts full name. Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart
Dazai got Jean and he starts out with "So Jean is a woman."
Mozart is doing Napoleon and the title screen just says "Panty Sniffer". The weirder your title the more points you get
Mozart: so he wrote a self insert love novel
Will: yeah...ARTHUR MADE US READ IT
Dazai: it was the worst thing I read
Oh. The writers pregamed for this. They've been drinking all day just for this.
Theo starts his presentation on Shakespeare and Will sits up like "Shit. I wish I was sober for this one"
Theo: there's not much on his childhood...but he did get married as a minor
Arthur: you WHAT
Theo: he got a woman pregnant and then rushed to get married...she was 8 years older than him or something
Will: what can I say. I'm hot.
Jean got Isaac. That poor boy. He's not able to say anything of these science words.
Faust: ..and in conclusion Vincent killed himself
Theo: THAT'S WHAT THE PUBLIC THINKS??
Napoleon got Vlad and the funny thing is...he isn't in history..so he's searching for Vlad the Impaler
Napoleon: He once ate a meal and watched a kid and the parents slowly slide down wooden stakes and made the rest of the town watch it
Vlad: oh come on! Comte you know I didn't do that
Comte: *still mad at him about something from earlier* I don't know that actually
Leonardo: I said he did it
Comte is now getting everyone therapy for Christmas. That's what everyone truly needs

@mrstsung here. Hee hee.
Gonna be the first ask. I'll keep it simple.
GN pronouns. :3 <3
What fluffy hcs you got for shang tsung,raiden,fujin,and kung lao?
SORRY this took a bit to answer lol (got distracted)
Shang tsung:
Tumblr media
usually this man pulls out the klassic nicknames a villain of his stature would give. "Darling" "love" "my dear" "my flower" but there would be one little nickname he'll give only to one who has his heart and soul. "Little mao mao" (which is "meow" in Chinese. Like "nya" is meow in Japanese)
Shang tsung sings and dances really good, however he doesn't like to do this in front of ANYONE. He feels insecure in an odd way, highly unusual for someone so full of himself. Perhaps such a simple, genuine, innocuous and human act would tarnish his reputation of "evil sorcerer". Perhaps he doesn't wish to be made fun of for something he genuinely and deeply enjoys.
If shang tsung's beloved is sick, he will strongly fret over them. He'll be annoyed like "clearly you should take better care of yourself" and bombard them with the finest medicine and highest quality tea and tiger balm (works wonders). He may appear annoyed and inconvenienced but really he's screaming on the inside bc that's the only person he ever gave half a shit about, let alone a whole shit about. Shang tsung will have what he desires and not even the elder gods are gonna take his beloved away without a fight.
Raiden:
Tumblr media
Raiden takes note of how people like their tea or (elder gods forbid) coffee, and makes sure to make it exactly how they like it. Also raiden has a disdain for drinking coffee himself, despite liking the smell of it. Regardless of how much he shit talks sonya for drinking coffee, if he's making drinks he'll make it how she likes it. Pitch black with only half a spoon of sugar.
Raiden picks up modern day jokes just enough to have a basic understanding, and its not hard for him to get it as humans often repeat history a lot. So occasionally if someone tries to hit him with a "bofa" joke, he knows how to turn it around. All gods like to troll mortals every now and then. Wouldn't you if you were eons old?
Raiden might be serious at times, but will always indulge a tiny child's wish to play around. He knows when a kid wants to hide his hat away to spend more time with him and raiden pretends to totally not see the obvious place it's hidden at. Children's laughter always warms his heart and its hard for him to not smile at such sweet innocence only a kid could have.
Fujin:
Tumblr media
Likes to make paper cranes and use the wind to blow them around, occasionally making tons of origami animals to create a scene with wind blowing them to life.
Some memes fujin gets and other times it flys quite literally over his head. Many times the victim of cassie cage's classic "master bofa detsu" joke. And yet surprises everyone with an "amongus" joke.
As a wind god and protector of earthrealm, it's not his only job, For annoying his brother by touching his stuff is what any good sibling does. Fujin bangs on raiden's taiko drums when raiden specifically tells him NOT to TOUCH. Fujin has been struck by many a thunder and lightning, but it's worth it.
Kung lao:
Tumblr media
He takes good care of the rabbit in his hat (yes he does absolutely have a rabbit in his hat) and doesn't even mind it's actually a demon trapped in the body of a fluffy rabbit. For it befriended the great kung lao a long time ago and attached itself to his hat (that is now kung lao's, which has been modified with the blade)
Kung lao likes to whittle wood. He's very good at making tons of small wooden figures. One time, he and night wolf spent half an entire day making small wooden animals and talking about many things. Kung lao has made an entire wooden train track, complete with a wooden train. And it's his greatest creation.
Kung lao likes hip hop and rap, it surprises everyone except liu kang, who shares his taste. Although liu kang prefers old school rap. They both love dancing and if given the opportunity, tear up the dancefloor like nobody's business.

fuuta analysis pt. 2, visual edition
i swear i like fuuta the normal amount, it's not like he's my little meow meow and it's not like I'm projecting to him in any way whatsoever.
lmao anyway i'm here to talk about the visual of backdraft. i'm mainly going to talk about the possible symbolism, the story in the mv, and hopefully can convince you to vote forgiven at least in this turn. long post ahoy (i even included the pictures to the point tumblr said "you used too many pics bruh")
Tumblr media
we'll start the analysis with this image. i believe the can and him facing the camera to spray the paint was him saying that this is his time to tell the story through milgram. the can itself (+ barcode) actually led you to milgram's judgement page, so in a way it's like "this is my story, but I'm telling you through this medium (spray can/milgram)"
also just love that red color. red can either means passion, love, or danger. so in a way the color red REALLY suits him. just remember the color red for his "tag".
before we continue, let me write down the history of graffiti because it is heavily used in this instance. graffiti can either signifies the marking of territory or as part of a social/political movement. the marking of the environment is especially popular where gangs are prominent, so the graffiti sign can either act as a deterrent or just to show who actually owns the area. so in a way, it is connected to identity. a person's life. so let's use the graffiti as the symbol of someone's identity.
Tumblr media
in the beginning, we see him looking forward with a smile on his face. this might mean that he was looking forward to and anticipating the task at hand.
Tumblr media
using football/soccer terminology, he kicks off the first shoot. so he is the one who is starting the job.
Tumblr media
in graffiti, you can use tags to show who created the graffiti. kind of like a signature. we can see there's "backdraft", "SAP", and one that i can't read. perhaps in Japanese? there's another one but i can't get a clear glimpse of it at the beginning of the graffiti on the left.
Tumblr media
there's also this one, but much like the last tag on the first graffiti, this one is also unreadable.
but seeing that we have multiple tags in two artworks here, meaning that this is a collaborative act. this isn't just fuuta just leading them and them being ignorant, this is "them" working together to create an artwork, or in this case, a situation.
Tumblr media
this is the first set of "pressure" graffiti that we've seen. no eyes, warm color, all bright and fiery. this shows that the pressure actually fueled fuuta's ambition. he's still all smirky and smiley, even looking at his target with a smile on his face.
Tumblr media
remember when i said remember red as his tag? with this, it's low-key a confirmation that he started the action of erasing someone's mark. in fuuta's case, we know that he bullied people online, so this is him basically erasing the other person's identity. he started it, then followed by other people, signifies by the other color of the spray.
Tumblr media
we can see 5 colors here, so it can mean that he was bullying a person with 4 other people. note that the character being erased seems monstrous in nature, so i believe this is fuuta basically saying "we have erased a monster!" which then continued on with another monster, started by fuuta and followed by other colors.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
still the same 5 colors, meaning that this squad was the "original" so to speak.
Tumblr media
i think fuuta has an extra grudge against the second person he targeted because he's taken the extra step to REALLY cover the artwork with more red. and he thought with this, his "task" is over.
Tumblr media
he lets go of his spray can, or his medium to tell a story because he probably thinks that he doesn't need it anymore. his grudge is satisfied, and he can rest easy.
using the spray can as the symbol for his medium for a story, i think his modus operandi is basically overwriting the other story's person. with him covering the artwork/story of another person, instead of him being upfront in his attack, he might've worked by spreading rumors, thus overwriting the old story/artwork with his own spray, destroying the artwork. but he let go of that responsibility, he's done with it. BUT.
Tumblr media
even though he let go of that spray can, it still followed his footsteps. the story/medium demanded that he continued by appearing once again, even though he wanted to walk away.
Tumblr media
i think this marks the first time a milgram prisoner acknowledged the current reality--mahiru and mikoto are tagged "red" means that they are guilty, while yuno and shido aren't, so they're innocent.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
i think that the red spray specifically marked the worst damage the person had in the fight. so mahiru broke her rib (or maybe her collarbone), mikoto has his whole torso marked, amane has less spray on her (which made me to believe that kotoko didn't attack her as much but still though.), and fuuta on the left side of his face. he's currently using an eyepatch, and according to the voice drama he could no longer see in that eye... so...
Tumblr media
this then continued by him marking his own neck with the "off with your head" gesture (you know this gesture used over and over again to mean that 'you're dead') with now the eyes appearing, first staring at the fuuta who killed his graffiti-self, then to the graffiti itself. i think that the fuuta who "killed" his graffiti self was the fuuta who got beaten up by kotoko (so our current fuuta), while the graffiti fuuta is his old story. remember when i say that the graffiti represented the identity/the story of a person, him killing it off means that he doesn't like his old self, but the eyes are judging him now. that's pressure. what is Very Interesting is the color used for the pupils. the purple and the blue is the exact same one as the color tag, and the green and magenta one is new. it might signify that two members disappeared, but two new people took their position. they wanted the old fuuta back, and the current fuuta is horrified by it.
Tumblr media
the eyes then multiplied, not just the original four. it means that the eyes on him have increased, and the pressure that once upon a time fueled his ambition now became poisonous. the purple here probably meant as poisonous than mysterious, because the shade reminded me of the poison-type pokemon. it's bright purple instead of royal purple which signifies a mysterious person. so now, all this pressure added with the eyes on him made the whole thing... unbearable for him.
Tumblr media
when he turned around and realized his impact, he just realized that there is a fuck-ton of people who followed his example. see that the spray cans are now a lot more than just the previous five, and we even see colors that did not show up as the eyes, which probably means that they weren't exactly actively pressuring him, but only followed along for the ride.
Tumblr media
remember when i said that the other graffiti reminded me of monsters? this one is the closest one we've got to a humanoid artwork. meaning, that this person (which then we see as a high-school girl) is different from the previous target. this one is a "human", so to speak, so he basically targeted an innocent person.
Tumblr media
fuuta of course jumpstarted the attack on the person but notice that his spray is a lot lighter than before. he wasn't covering the face of the artwork, he literally barely covered it. this means that his story was flimsy at best, and he relied on his "friends" to cover the person in the spray.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
it is now literally a group effort instead of just him being the leader and doing most of the job. his part even covered by another color, basically saying that yeah he only started it, but the others genuinely followed his steps. and fuuta didn't like that. fuuta is genuinely terrified of it. and if i see the color correctly (i might've missed some, sorry) the color used here is the same color on the pupil that starred at fuuta to pressure him.
Tumblr media
again with spray as a medium to tell a story, they are quite literally covering the person with their "story" and we can see that it's not just teenagers who did this, noticed the person on the left with a ring on their finger, meaning that they either already married OR had a fiancee. that's an adult. not just male hands, we also have female hands. fuuta's army is literally filled with not just people his age, but both older and younger. and that terrifies the absolute shit of fuuta who only watched the attack from afar.
Tumblr media
under "fire", the girl became a statue and broke under pressure. the hands reaching upward mean that she's probably asking for help, but there's no one to save her. so she broke up with no one by her side, and killed herself to end her suffering.
Tumblr media
notice how the statue fell pointing to him. i think this represent the fact that the girl might've asked for his help or he might've saw her reaching out to him post-her death. it might be when he knew that his action has killed a person. sure, it's unintentional, but he created a situation where she might've considered death than surviving. and look at fuuta's expression.
Tumblr media
he was also under "fire" and he is feeling the effect of the attack AND the guilt, and moments later his can of spray/medium of story exploded on him, both damaging him AND not allowing him to tell the story. this marks the moment where his "squad" turned their backs on him and now attacked him, probably for his moment of weakness. i also find it interesting that the can is "bloodied" so to speak, to basically say he's no longer innocent and his hands are now covered in blood.
Tumblr media
he is running for his LIFE. notice that the gray color on his hand reached up his forearms now, meaning that he definitely did not leave his confrontation unscathed.
Tumblr media
and now es, with their own medium to tell a story, covered him with black spray, meaning that "his story" is now overwritten by es, or by extension, milgram, and of course, the judgemental eyes that followed es' steps.
so this mv basically tells the story of him starting something and it went so big that it's uncontrollable. he never meant it to go this far, but it did, and someone died because of his action. he definitely bite more than he can chew. he showed remorse for his action, which is more than i can say for some people... *cough*

Why there is almost-dangai suddenly again -- possible reason
Some thoughts about ALoN, dangai dramas, and politics, under a cut for spoilery reasons.
I was talking to someone I have known for years on Discord about "A League of Nobleman", my newest media obsession, and my specific little meow-meow in it (Gu Qingzhang AKA Shulin AKA Tan'er) and argued he has very good reason to be the way he is, being up against the drama's ultimate villain who was responsible for murdering every last person (but two) in his home village Moluo-cun. "Well my guess is that he’s kind of like Magneto? A little bit?" my friend said, right on point.
This is actually a very good comparison; the people he grew up with were all murdered before his eyes as he had to watch from a distance, powerless to help.
In fact, on second watch, I realised that yes, the Moluo-cun villagers are coded as non-Han Chinese 'barbarians'. Han Chinese murdering 'barbarians' and being deeply, deeply in the wrong about it is actually quite a political statement in the current climate with Xinjiang etc.
ALoN (and several more dangai-adjacent dramas like it) was on hold for almost two years following the media crackdown after WoH & some interested parties throwing Zhang Zhehan to the wolves over it in 2021; I suspect that letting ALoN pass censorship now is part of the Chinese leadership picking other hills to die on after the Corona related almost uprising. Letting go of unimportant things like Corona restriction, media censorship, and probably a few more things means they can keep control of the important points, which would have become threatened if the Corona protests had evolved into full scale riots. In the end, people might have claimed their leadership had lost the Mandate of Heaven, because riots are a sure indication of that.
The Chinese people might not remember the Tian An Men uprising in 1989* because of relentless censorship, but the leadership most definitely does, and they don't want it repeated. No longer enforcing unimportant strictures makes sense in that context.
We finally get the censored dramas (with Mo Du up next) released because these are the "circuses" a dictatorship is giving its people; bread is probably already a given in today's China.-
*I very much do, I was on the streets here in Germany protesting in solidarity with the other students from the East Asia Institute of Munich University; and after the massacre, my Sinologist fellow students all lost friends they personally knew, because BeiDa is partnered with Munich University for student exchange purposes.
Disclaimer: I am not Chinese nor a Sinologist, but I did major in Japanology and wrote about Japanese history in my magisterial thesis, which is nothing without China and the rich history of Chinese politics. I do have some Mandarin, intensified since the pandemic, and I translated long swathes of neo-Confucianist Chinese sources that were part of the early modern Japanese text I was assigned for my thesis back then. As a result, I do dare say something about an area adjacent to my original specialisation.

Omg do you have pictures of those three cats? Where are all of your tattoos?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sorry I’m realizing I’m good at taking pictures of literally everyone except myself but I found these. The anime cat is from Meow Meow Japanese History, which please watch if you like cats and Japan.
Um I’ll probably forget some but my shoulder blades, my hips, a few on my ribs and stomach. One on my thigh, one on one foot (do not recommend). Then mostly on different spots on my arms. Oh and a small one on each hand. Pretty sure that’s all of them.

15 Questions 15 Mutuals
I was tagged by @valasania-the-pale, thanks so much for tagging me! :)
Rules: answer the questions and tag fifteen mutuals
1. Are you named after anyone?
Not my first name, but my middle name belongs to one of my mom's best friends, who I love :)
2. When was the last time you cried?
Hmm... I recently teared up while rereading The Silmarilion, does that count?
3. Do you have kids?
No, and it's not something I see for myself.
4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
Sometimes, but I prefer to just outright criticize things rather than being sarcastic.
5. What’s the first thing you notice about people?
I notice how they treat me and others around them.
6. What's your eye colour?
Blue.
7. Scary movies or happy endings?
Happy endings! Although this frames it as a choice between two things that are not really opposites, so... I also happen to love tragedies.
8. Any special talents?
Depends on whether I'm actually talented, but I think I'm a good writer, and I also have some skill with drawing/painting, although I don't do it often enough these days.
9. Where were you born?
In the Pacific Northwest.
10. What are your hobbies?
Reading, writing, drawing/painting, photography, hiking, and martial arts.
I'm currently reading two books: one about the Coastwatchers in Solomon Islands during World War II, and the other about the Guadalcanal and Bougainville campaigns... also WWII.
I'm also currently working on some writing projects, namely the one giant writing project that has consumed the past three years of my life, although I've been taking a long-ish break for the holiday period (I've been too busy).
I'm also working on my first digital artwork, which has taken a few years at this point... partly because it keeps getting bigger and bigger! Ack!
There are a lot of things I'd like to learn how to do or do more of, like scuba diving, archery, and getting a pilot's license (but I need to save up money for that).
11. Any pets?
Two cats that I love very much. One of them is a tortoiseshell named Minou (there are pictures of her in the link). She is tiny! She is only 6 pounds. She doesn't really know how to meow, so when she wants food or attention she will gently and politely tap me with her paw (it is SO cute).
The other one is an orange cat with white socks named Percy, which is short for Persimmon. She is a troublemaker, and will steal ANYTHING from the kitchen. I once saw her running out of the room with a very long udon noodle trailing from her mouth. She is very cuddly and likes to spend all of her time on my lap, purring. Otherwise she's dashing madly around the house.
I also have a Juniper bonsai, which I think counts as a pet. I have had him for about three years.
12. What sports do you play/have played?
I played soccer as a child, and loved it. I played basketball for one season and it was not for me - neither was cross country. I started doing Muay Thai and boxing when I was 17 and I liked that a hell of a lot better. Then I started doing Brazilian jiu-jitsu and judo in college. Nothing makes me happier than getting to do MMA multiple times per week, and I only wish that I could train regularly right now! I don't live close enough to the school I want to go to - but once I find a new apartment I'll be able to. I also enjoy weightlifting.
13. How tall are you?
5′4″... I would like to be taller, but this IS average height for a woman in the United States (where I live), which is what I remind people who tell me I'm short!
14. Favorite subject in school?
History, to be sure, which was my major. I also enjoyed Philosophy, Russian Literature and my language classes - over the years I took Latin, Japanese, German and Russian. Unfortunately my language skills are a bit rusty now, but I don't regret the time I spent studying them. :) I would like to learn some of the languages of the Pacific Islands - there are certainly a lot to choose from.
15. Dream job?
The one I have now, basically! Although I would like to live in the South Pacific one day. I work for a research institute and my field of study is the Pacific Islands. I love what I do, I get to travel, my coworkers respect me - I'm literally so happy! It's a big relief, because I was not happy at my previous job, and it's hard to find jobs in my field, at least where I live now.

So how do i start a Fandom?
How do i start a fandom, friends? As far as i can tell, all of 4 tumblr accounts have ever mentioned 'The Philospher's Flight/The Philosopher's War" by Tom Miller, and one of them compared it unfavorably to the fucking Wizard TERF Books while another is a book store.
This is unjust. Unreasonable. Unfair. The Philosopher's Flight and its sequel, The Philsopher's War, are some of the best worldbuiilt fantasy and alt-history i have ever read. The only thing i can compare it with is Jonathan Strange and mr. Norrell, which is the highest praise i have to give.
This is a book series with an incredibly well-thought out alt-history WWI, with superbly good worldbuilding incorporating its "magic," Empirical Philosophy into the social structure and technology of its time. It is a series full of badass women, several of whom are veterans of a guerilla warfare against paramiilitary misogynist hate groups. A series where triage, rescue, and evacuation are tense, interesting, and action-packed. It's so goddamn good.
And the characters all excellent! diverse, interesting, and full of personality. Little old lady brigadier-general Thomasina Blandings deserves rabid stan blogs. The characters of Fifth division - the fillipina officer who hates america but wants to save lives, the already-done-with-this-shit commander who hates her husband, the young japanese girl who loves machine guns, the shitty flyer everyone loves and who ran away and lied through her teeth to join up - they deserve elaborate polycules and shipping wars and high school AUs. The autistic Poor Little Meow Meow that is dean Mercherson and his increasingly exasperated handler ms. Adams who acts as den mother to her school deserve fan art and rabid wars. Veteran-hero-turned-activist Danielle with a complicated relationship to her blackness deserves 5000 word tumblr posts about her history and relationship to war, violence, and philosophy. The Cocks, minor but important side characters, deserve fans who will go to bat for them because they are the best (and seriously, they are).
@melodic-operator notes that Robert Canderelli, the main character, has a fat ass, a fact the books are keen on reminding us. That fat ass deserves loving parodic fan art, especially in the skintight harness he wore as the first man to compete in the long haul flight.
So. how do i start a fandom?

OSRR: 3159
today i took part in a panel about autistic students. as someone who spent a lot of time in school trying to figure out why i was the way i was, i've learned a thing or two about it, so when i was asked to be a panelist a while back, i readily agreed.
it seemed daunting, but once we got into it, it was easier.
it was kind of fun, actually. but i ended up needing to stim big time after it because it was all exact words and expressing thoughts to other people. so that was difficult. but otherwise it was fine.
after job 1 i stopped for food and went to work with the kids, and they worked on some math first and then each moved on to work on vocabulary. they bought home their folders of computers work and i'm delighted to say that they're doing well in their classes. i think that --
hm. i want to see if i can get the statistics about the state tests from the school about the whole school, about individual classes. i want to see that information. i don't think they'd give it to me, especially since i'm just a tutor and not a parent, but it'd be something to look at to better see their placement among their peers in their school. they would prove to be an interesting research project.
anyway.
the kids are delightful.
but i gotta say that my shoulder was hurting from the inside today, and i have never been happier that i have physical therapy tomorrow than i've ever been before.
anyway dinner was from pressed café, and it was surprisingly good. we got back from dinner and joel and i hung out downstairs, and i figured out my subscription to crunchyroll has expired??? so i renewed it and watched a handful of episodes of meow meow japanese history, which is HYSTERICAL. just superb.
anyway, i haven't gotten to spend much time with joel today, but i'm also not gonna get a chance to see him much tomorrow, either, since i work late and he's got game until however late it'll go.
but the short time i did get to be with him was nice. he's always sweet. i love him so much.

For the ask meme: Akemi Homura ^^
thank you so much, dear! 🌸💫
Why I like them:
I love how she grew stronger and stronger with every timeline, how this fragile and shy girl turned into a real fighter, never giving up on her loved one. Aaand I have a soft spot for kinda evil demon girls. Also I love her voice actor Chiwa Saitou.
Favourite scene:
Homura rewriting the world and becoming a demon ofc
Favourite line:
I'll keep wishing for a world where you can be happy.
and
I finally remembered. All the times I repeated history, got hurt and suffered over and over. All of that was proof of my feelings for Madoka. So now, even pain is dear to me. It was not even curses that soiled my Soul Gem but something that you have no chance of understanding, Incubator. It is the pinnacle of all human emotion. More passionate than hope, far deeper than despair. Love.
Favourite outfit:
Tumblr media
OTP:
madohomu, no surprise here
Brotp:
maybe sayahomu?? idk I feel like they could be really good friends if it weren't for the circumstances. and I really liked the little interactions they had in Magia Record
Headcanon:
Homura enjoys japanese way of tea 🍵
Unpopular opinion:
I don't think she was really that selfish, like have yall see Eren from snk? now that's a selfish bastard
A wish:
I just want her to be happy without having to sacrifice anything or anyone for that 😭
An oh-god-please-never-happen:
whatever sad things are gonna happen in the next movie
5 words to describe them:
my poor little meow meow
My nickname for them:
I sometimes think of her as Homusia (read as homusha in english i think??) which only works in polish (we make cute nicknames out of girls names by changing the last syllable into sia) 😅

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Quick answer, blacksmith Ei
Longer answer, bringing a lot of overshadowed character to her and fleshing her out with very interesting headcanons rooted in Japanese history, which is very nice! In addition writing together is a blast, as well as the softer side to Ei, like with her pets and random interactions
Also that modern verse tho 👀
Tumblr media
⠀⠀WAAH THANK YOU! Inazuma deserves a rewrite in at least the second half since many things felt rushed and incomplete. The world quests have depth but it didn't fully show how eroded Inazuma is nor the references to Japanese history. Though their arc is over sadly and need to continue on to other regions like Fontaine and Naltan <- ( another brain rot of mine with Murata on the side blog.)
I'm glad you enjoy seeing my cringe meow meow ei on the dash and I enjoy our interactions ❤️❤️

ABOUT THE ADMIN: SEREN/DIPSY
I’m white and AFAB, identifying as Agender. Know it's a bit of a contradiction, but Catgender, too. I use both the general he/him and meow/meowself neopronouns. My orientation isn’t at all relevant in this strictly nonsexual space, but it’s Demi-GrayAce. Aromantic.
25 physically, but often mentally regressed to teenage or below. This is due to repeated trauma and autism. But I’ll stress that despite this, I am bodily an adult and should be viewed as such. Long term abuse survivor.
💖Sailor Moon is indeed my Special Interest. Venus is my big favorite, Jupiter my other. Together? Best ever.
They're like sisters to me, yeah, and they also are kinda in my head. Like literally in my brain.as in like imaginary friends of mine, with Mina sometimes running the show. Must’ve kinnied too hard
Sailor Moon is one of my top favorite things in the world. The original 90s anime (Japanese, English subtitled), is my favorite iteration. The Sailor Moon R Movie: Promise of the Rose is a complex cinematic masterpiece. The world hasn’t known peace since Sailor Moon Drops shut down. I have been healthily autistic about Sailor Moon since June 2014
Tumblr media
This is in fact me vs everyone else when Sailor Moon gets brought up.
Did you know that Minako’s original Japanese voice actor did her own cover of the famous song Venus by Bananarama?
Did you also know the original Japanese voice actors for Minako and Makoto (Rika Fukami and Emi Shinohara), share the exact birthdate and have celebrated together with a big party? Twice? They also made a song together and it’s one of the best.
Please talk to me about Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon agere. I have many facts and many thoughts.
I want to learn the Japanese language and study its culture, but that doesn’t mean I overlook Japan’s imperialist history or its other flaws. In general, I'm interested in history and different cultures. I know a little Spanish, but not much.
💖Love to write & draw (aspiring to be a childrens’ author, illustrator and librarian).
One of my proudest achievements was when I won, I believe it was first place(?) for the Young Authors’ Program in third grade. I love “digital fingerpainting” the most!
💖 Multiply disabled + chronically ill (high possibility of delay in activity as a result), I alternate between my laptop and phone.
Might not seem it, but I struggle with moderately severe anxiety and tend to be dreadfully shy outside of my infodumping.
So join me if you please, as I pour my heart upon these virtual pages :3c

Also some yesterday's relink thoughts (since i was too beat to mention it here), i still haven't finished the game but i did finish chapter 8
-So far the plot continue to impress.
-The boss fights are fucking insane. The generals of the church are fucking hard. The primals are even harder. what the FUCK was that fight in the desert?!
-Would kill to have Siete meeting the Harvin lady though. they'd be friends. or rivals.
-Also the Primals' designs are all so damn cool. The one from Lilith's primal in particular is so intimidating. Reminds me a bit of what The Devil should look like though.
-Seeing Lyria in this situation was completely gutting.
-But I totally fell for Id now too and we cheered when he turned on Lilith so now we just hope he'll join us for good.
-Lilith is like, pure villainy and all, an Astral like we know and love them (derogatory), but she's also like, super funny about it? We were looking at her profile yesterday and laughing because her 3D model is always floating like "nope i'm not setting a foot on this heathen's land", and Salt commented on how her profile looks like "Hobbies: don't let your dreams just be dreams! / Dreams: Destruction." and i'm still thinking about that.
-Rolan. Like i said a bit before reveal i did kinda expect him to have this history with Lilith, one he might be ashamed off and trying to right. I only got wrong that i thought his shady attitude was because he was aware he would be using us and that if we went against his plans he'd turn on us -- easy mistake since it's such a granblue thing to do. Instead i was completely blindsided by the Astral reveal lmao
-But it's so wild to see an Astral actually being nice? actually caring for Skydwellers? Like we've heard of them in some background stuff (Orchis' father come to mind), but the ones we met in the story were all such... well..... Lilith-type that it blindsided me lmao. So nice though.
-which also means he's now a meow meow with a savior complex AND the immortal dread of knowing he'll outlive anyone he cares about. he adds up to the pile of what we obsess on here. What a guy
-The Boss Battle to get Lyria back was epic. And heartbreaking. And the way they took into account who you had in your party made it even more heartshattering. God it was a good scene.
-PLAYING BAHAAMUUUUUUUT. the game crashed right after this fight so i had to redo it but it was so cool.
-Anyway back to Rolan why did Lilith evaporate him twice this is so evil D: at least he's not dead but wow. Also Lilith backstabbing him is just so. Is it the way Astral just kill people?
-Going back to the town we were told "you saved your princess in distress, now let us handle it" and the chat collectively went "well, Rolan now is our princess in distress" so glad we agree.
-Also shout out to Rackam, esp following a Fate Episode where he says he never know what to say to women and he's uncomfortable around them, hitting us with:
Tumblr media
not beating any of the gay boy allegation. Make sure Noa doesn't hear you though.
-Granblue Localization my beloved:
Tumblr media
-Also aside from the fact he keeps dying (but it's okay he's an astral he'll be fine (copium)), Rolan is such a nerd but like, exactly up-my-alley type of nerd. 10/10 would sink my teeth into him.
-And should mention it but yeah one "flaw" ultimately is that playing the game in Japanese adds a level of difficulty because they have plot relevent dialogues and/or tips for some battles in the middle of some battles and most of the time i have to pay close attention to the flow of battles and can't let the dialogues set in. For people who would have been worried about missing some of the dialogue by playing in Japanese, i confirm that, yeah, that's a concern. I'm still stubbornly playing it that way but it is a bit tougher.
Anyway so i stopped after we got Lyria back and before going to look for Rolan.
Outside of the plot, I finished the 4 knights set an also got Cagliostro (who is SO FUN to play???)
So the plan today is that i need to wrap a few things up, then i'll get back in th egame, i'll go through all the fate Episode that were unlocked since then, and then i'll get back to the main plot.
I think i'm on the last stretch anyway so i'll probably wrap it up today.
but it was so damn fun so far i'm enjoying myself so much.

Exploring the Mekong Bobtail Cat Breed: A Unique Addition to Your Family
Introduction to Mekong Bobtail Cat Breeds
Originating from the ancient temple cats of Thailand, the Mekong bobtail is a recently developed breed with a rich history. Initially bred by Buddhist monks, these cats resided in temples, where they were cared for by pilgrims and monks. Through generations, a distinctive genetic mutation led to the development of a naturally shortened tail. In the 1980s, breeders introduced the Mekong bobtail by crossing these temple cats with existing bobtail breeds, resulting in a captivating fusion of Siamese elegance and bobtailed charm.
Tumblr media
Characteristics and Appearance of the Mekong Bobtail
Mekong bobtails are medium-sized shorthaired cats, weighing between 6-10 lbs. With a wedge-shaped head, large ears, and slanted blue eyes, their appearance exudes grace. The short, soft, and silky coat comes in various colors such as seal, blue, lilac, and fawn. The most distinguishing feature is their stubby tail, approximately 1/3 the length of a normal cat's tail. Despite this, Mekong bobtails maintain excellent balance and agility.
Temperament and Popularity
These cats possess an energetic and friendly personality, forming deep bonds with their human families. Their high energy levels are complemented by a gentle nature, making them patient companions for children. Mekong bobtails thrive on human interaction, displaying moderate vocalization through soft chirps and meows. Intelligent yet occasionally stubborn during training, they make affectionate and entertaining family pets.
Lifespan: 12-15 years
Coat Colors: Seal, blue, lilac, fawn
Mixed Breed: Developed by crossing native temple cats with Western bobtail breeds like the Japanese Bobtail and Kurilian Bobtail.
Caring for a Mekong Bobtail Cat Breed
Food:
High-quality canned or dry cat food with animal-based protein.
Wet food for added moisture and urinary tract health.
Occasional treats of cooked meat, fish, or eggs.
Environment:
Provide safe outdoor access or a stimulating indoor environment.
Include cat towers, scratching posts, and interactive toys.
Grooming:
Weekly brushing to remove loose hair.
Regular nail trimming, ear and teeth checks.
Care Methods:
Engage in daily interactive play and training sessions.
Consider an enclosed outdoor space or leashed walks.
Adopting a Mekong Bobtail Cat
Popular Regions:
Europe, North America, Japan
Average Price:
$400 – $600 USD
Adoption/Rescue:
Mekong Bobtail Rescue (USA), Bobtailed Cat Rescue (UK), Bobtail Cat Adoptions (Canada)
What to Check Before Adoption:
General health and weight
Current vaccination records
Prior medical conditions
Preparing for a Mekong Bobtail Cat
Home Preparation:
Allow time for adjustment to the new environment.
Cat-proof the home by removing potential hazards.
Supplies:
Stock up on food, litter, scratching posts, treats, and grooming tools.
Find a trusted vet and schedule a wellness exam within the first week.
Playtime and Training:
Spend quality playtime using interactive toys.
Be patient with training and expect initial stubbornness.
Essentials for Mekong Bobtail Cat Care Include:
Premium cat food, auto-feeder, and water fountain
Litter box, cat scratching posts, and toys
Grooming tools like nail clippers, brush, toothbrush
Cat carrier for safe travel
Common Health Issues to Watch For:
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)
Dental disease
Urinary crystals
Diabetes
Core Vaccines:
Kitten series (FVRCP)
Rabies
Feline leukemia (FeLV)
Annual boosters
Choosing a Name for Your Mekong Bobtail:
Thai-inspired names (Rama, Siam, Songkhla, Phuket)
Mythological names (Loki, Athena, Apollo)
Food-inspired names (Mango, Papaya, Boba)
Nature names (River, Forest, Willow)
Traditional cat names (Felix, Luna, Oscar)
Human names (Charlie, Lucy, Oliver)
Welcoming a Mekong bobtail into your family promises years of devoted companionship and joy.

Love makes the world go round... except when it doesn't. We've all been there before, to that place where your outlook on love is, well, not so bright. We've all experienced our fair share of relationship challenges, heartbreaks, and messy breakups.And who else out there has the power to remind you with just a momentary glimpse of their bitter face of just how incredibly terrible love can make you feel than Grumpy Cat herself?That's right. In case you missed it, Grumpy Cat is a feline of the female persuasion. No wonder she's so gosh darn pissy all the time. Have you been a female on the Internet (let alone in the world!) lately?It's rough out there, I tell you. ROUGH. Previously known by the name she was given at birth (on April 4, 2012), Tardar Sauce, who has both an underbite and feline dwarfism, became an overnight sensation at the tender young age of 5 months, when owner Tabatha Bundensen's brother Bryan took some photos of her perpetually "grumpy" facial expression and posted them on Reddit with the simple caption, "Meet grumpy cat."Meet grumpy cat from pics Reddit user magicsebi decided to help a (literal) brother out, taking it upon themselves to create what seems to be the first ever Grumpy Cat meme.Comment from discussion Meet grumpy cat. From there, a true star — and countless hysterical Grumpy Cat memes — were born.Tabatha, who was a waitress at the time Grumpy Cat memes first started to go viral, told the Telegraph: "I was able to quit my job as a waitress within days of her first appearance on social media and the phone simply hasn't stopped ringing since." And according to Business Insider: "In two years, Bundesen... generated nearly $100 million from Grumpy Cat's paid appearances, book deals, and modeling career, according to The Telegraph (Bundesen tells Huffington Post that amount is inaccurate, but doesn't say if it's high or low). Bundesen believes Grumpy Cat is 'unstoppable.'" While it's been awhile now since we've seen quite as much of Grumpy Cat and her famously bitter memes around these parts of the social media woods, she does appear to be one of those classic staples of comedy history that will never be completely absent. Well, that is, unless Grumpy Cat died, as some people believe is actually the case, but alas, we are not here for such conspiracy theories at this time.RELATED: 8 Most Popular Illuminati Conspiracy Theories About Celebrities, Murders And Famous SongsSo while sweet and sour mixed breed Tardar (her mother is a Calico and her father's breed is unknown, the scoundrel), she remains a potentially eternal symbol for all that is bitter, somewhat angry, sarcastic and resentful about love and romantic relationships.For those of you who have ever known what it means to be crushed by some romantic ideal of love, here are 21 Grumpy Cat memes that will make you feel like the cat's meow once again.1. A Grumpy Cat meme for those who have no time for love."Love is in the air? Get out the gas mask."2.

No cares given."If I have said or done anything to hurt you, I don't care."5. A Grumpy Cat friendship meme for those people you truly just don't care about."I still can't see us ever being friends."6. Get out of here with those "Free Hugs" signs."Free hugs? Go hug a cactus."7.
