did u write the baby tails post yet? id love to read it
Here you go, my de-aged/time switched feral baby Tails idea so hold your hat cause it's a long one under the cut. Also forgive me and my nonsense, I am not a writer.
Just to set some ground rules on my take on baby Tails so we're all on the same page. First of all I always imagine Tail and Sonic meeting when Tails was 3/4 and Sonic 10/11 (both are homeless kids best they can do is guesstimate ages and roll with it). And our little guy Tails, is the sweet, kind, caring Tails we all know and love. BUT as a baby all of that was buried under the weight of being abandoned, harassed, hurt, half/fully starved and bullied starting from maybe basically birth if not shortly after. So baby Tails is just the most FERAL of little guys. He WILL bite, claw, kick, pull fur/feathers/whatever they got and do whatever it takes if he feels cornered and threatened by someone. And yes he has his inventions even at that young age to protect him somewhat, but he's still a baby and can only build them out of the scraps he finds, so they are little flimsy and get destroyed easily by said bullies fairly often. So bitey time's are aplenty for baby Tails.
Now luckily when Sonic meet Tails one of their first interactions was him saving Tails from bullies so he started out a few steps on the less feral side of Tails. Not that Sonic doesn't/never saw this side of Tails, it just never got it directed at him unless he startled Tails or was calming Tails down when something else brought out that side. I also like to think that Sonic and Tails were together about a year before Eggman ever even found out about Tails. So by the time Eggman and their other friends meet Tails, the feral side of Tails has been pretty much put to rest as, through Sonic's help, Tails doesn't need to rely on that 'cornered feral rabies filled racoon' fight instinct anymore. The Tails they first meet relies more on his inventions, smarts, and how Sonic taught him to fight.
SO getting to the bread and butter of all this.
Sonic, Tails and Co. are fighting Eggman or maybe another villain per their usual shtick. And when they go to hit Sonic with their "ultimate weapon" it ends up a whole whoopsi daisies situation and hits Tails instead. Now readers choice on if this de-ages Tails or switched older Tails with younger Tails, but result is the same either way. The smoke clears, Tails is still there, to everyone's short lived relief, but there is now a much smaller scruggly looking Tails in that spot
(Now another thought I had just for ultimate angst potential for either scenario of scruffy baby Tails, is that baby Tails has the starved figure, scars, cuts, bruises, matted/patchy fur he had on what ever day he de-aged to/switched with)
The villain then dips cause plan has gone sideways and Sonic and crew are now just left with a tiny little baby Tails. (and the crew I imagine is Amy, Knuckles, Shadow, and Rouge - maybe Blaze, Silver, Tangle and Whisper too just to make it a really party if you want)
I think before even Sonic can react though Amy is the first to make it to baby Tails. Now I love Amy to death but bless her heart she has a tendency to get tunnel vision sometimes (big mood). So before she registers that baby Tails is a bit more ruff around the edges than she's used to, she just sees a cute little tiny baby Tails and immediately goes for the hug cause Tails is adorable on his own but tiny Tails is serotonin directly injected into your veins and her being a whole mood cannot physically stop herself from going for a hug. Plus they've met a younger Tails before so she thinks it's a similar situation so free hugs all around. (Sidenote - I'm just gonna call baby Tail BT for the rest of this cause it long)
Unfortunately BT only registers 'person coming at them fast and getting close' and just uses his reaction to bite Amy all the while hissing and growling like a feral cat in an alleyway.
Immediately everyone is taken aback (except for Sonic) cause that's not a very Tails thing for Tails to do especially to friends even if he's scared.
(And another side note here cause lord forbid my thought process stays cohesive for five minutes - but I see baby Tails being either a Tails that has met Sonic but only has been with him for maybe 2-3 weeks if even that long, so he recognizes Sonic but doesn't really trust him yet. Or for even more 'oh this is sad' it is a little Tails before he met even Sonic, so everyone is starting at the -100 trust line with the feral fluff ball. (i'm moving forward with this with the 'BT knows Sonic but no trust between them' one cause older brother Sonic is my weakness and BT being cute and clingy will not leave my brain))
So BT gets startled at everyone being startled and moves to take off to go hide in a hole somewhere cause "WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE" (if you get the reference let me know) and everyone then makes a move to catch him. Now BT is on fight/flight instincts only and does not even register Sonic. Plus Sonic does not look like the one he knows so he doesn't even recognize him in this state, just is trying to peace the fuck out of there and get to safety. And with everyone now after him BT then proceeds to go into FULL FERAL MODE on all of them.
He is clawing at them, biting everyone, hissing and spitting while making a B-line for what he thinks is an exit. With everyone still being shocked, not wanting to hurt him and with BT being more slippery than grease on pig, they are STRUGGLING. He is giving then the runaround. They're are now all getting more injured than they did in the fight that caused this. All their abilities are doing nothing in helping them catch Tails. BT is that one scene of Jack Jack from the Incredibles levels of fucking them up and he can't even shape shift. He managed to rip off one of Shadows skates, bite through Knuckles gloves, scratch up Rogue and set off her bombs (she threw them all away from her before they exploded), Amy's hands and arms are COVERED in bit marks, and he went for Sonic's shins with deadly accurate kicks (Sonic would be proud if it didn't hurt so much). They all just look like they got into a fight with a wood-chipper and miserably lost but nope it's all just a scared toddler that can and will fuck someone up.
It's only when Sonic shouts "MILES!!!!" at Tails that he finally stops (maybe Tails isn't being called Tails yet at that time so Sonic has to say his name or maybe it's just big brother/parent mode voice gets through to him). BT stops his frantic exit relay race but will not let anyone close and is still straight up growling at everyone. So now they're all just standing in a lose circle around BT not wanting to take their eyes off him but all desperately sending mental vibes to Sonic to take care of this cause what the fuck has gotten into Tails.
Cue soft big brother Sonic stepping up to bat and everyone watches him try and coax a tiny scraggly Tails, that looks 3 seconds from trying to bolt again, to get closer to Sonic and calm down. He does succeed after about 10 mins and gets BT to let him get close enough to look over his injuries. And they watch Sonic look over BT's injuries with the softest of big brother looks but when he's got BT turned around to check his back Sonic gets just a flash of anger but resigned look on his face. Cause Sonic knows those injuries and they weren't from the beam BT got hit with. (He'd forgotten how bad they were due to time and also being so young when they first met but now he's even more pissed off and sad about it) - Meanwhile people on West Side Island "why do I suddenly hear Kellin Quinn singing??"
So from there the crew moves out with BT almost glued to Sonic's side cause he's scared of everyone. Sonic has to fly them all back cause BT is too little to reach the pedals of the plane (to the surprise of a few of their friends cause they either forgot/didn't know Sonic could fly a plane also idk how to fly a plane but my imaginary one has pedals now). Finally they get back to a safe area, Tail's workshop, and the other's stick close but outside so they don't overwhelm BT while Sonic spends time cleaning/feeding/treating BT's injuries and put him to bed.
Once Sonic's got the little orange terror to go to sleep he gets everyone rounded up to talk about this and figure out how to fix it. But not before they all grill him for info cause what the fuck has gotten into Tails, they thought it was just the beam at first that caused BT to act like that but Sonic knew what to do so that theory jumped out the window. Cue Sonic giving them the watered down version of his memories of feral baby Tails, cause a lot of it ain't their business in his mind but they also need to know enough to not trigger BT into going full feral scared mode on them.
Even with what they know is the more sanitized version of events Sonic gives them everyone is shocked to find out this was actually how Tails was as a little baby toddler guy when Sonic first found him. Cause they all know how sweet Tails is. The difference is night and day. They are all also immediately mentally planning murder. (- Meanwhile people on Westside Island again "why do I hear Tyler Smyth now???? wtf??")
They all just get sad and angry cause who could hurt Tails (exceptions being made to this rule for Eggman and the rest of their circle of villains cause villains gonna villain).
I imagine Amy just starts crying cause she's upset that, that happened to Tails. But also she about to bust out that hammer and hunt some people down.
Knuckles is upset and suddenly feels really guilty about some of those early days fights he used to get into with Sonic and Tails when they all first met. But also recalling some small moments where a hint of this came out when he first met Tails but never to the extent he had seen earlier that day.
Rogue already kinda knew about it cause..spy, but not the full extent. Her info was coming from second hand sources that tried to hide the fact that they were so cruel to one of the only people who can/has stopped Eggman. She already got names and faces and she's about to get a bunch of new stuff when she robs all of them blind. And she's also planning on taking Omega with her, let him cause some chaos, blow up a few thing for fun-sies.
Shadow about to march up stairs, pick up BT, tell Sonic "this is mine now" and march out with a new brother. Also pay a little visit to Westside Island with Rogue cause he knew that face she made, she already has names and he wants in. Tails just reminds him so much of Maria and BT got Shadows 'thought to be long gone' protective brother instincts kicking into overdrive now.
The rest of this goes down with all of them just spoiling the hell outta BT, getting told stories from BT about his life and it just being one of the saddest things they ever have heard ever, and figuring out how to fix it by hunting down whoever did it to MAKE them fix it.
Bonus points: They also get to see how destructive BT is with weapons and learn:
1) why Sonic ban Tails from making some types of weapons.
2) that Sonic actually has the patience of a saint for a little destructive BT
3) Tails is way more down to murder than they had previously thought
Anyways hope you enjoyed my rambles. Long busy week so sorry if it's a little all over the place. It was a long post but it's also been a while since I posted.

im kinda new to lifesteal and i havent really thought about other members bsides clown and branz but school is gonna enter a break so my brain has finally been alloted time to hone in on this. and i have some design ideas for a few members.
also feel free to tell me anything about anyone if u wanna give info cuz i would also rly appreciate it. im dead srs, i will read bible length text. anyway-
ash is so emo to me. he has that angsty teen in him. long sideswept hair with a bit of it brought over his left eye. im also gonna do that thing i saw a lot of ppl do of that glitchy thing over his eye but on the hair as well cause, it just fits with his skin. i dont wanna leave em too independent to what they actually look like in game
minutes skin is good enough for what i think he would look like! but he definitely has a bow motif on his skin that i wanna add a teensy bit more to! also his hair. not fire, just like, smoky. also a trenchcoat would be good i think. and ive heard some members call him a walking base so i ran with that idea and i wanna give him a suitcase with like infinite space inside.
i think redd is good being left nice and simple! i think the simplicity adds a lot in his case. but i wanna give him slicked back hair, kinda like crocodile from one piece but a bit messier and mb a lil curly to add a bit more uniqueness?? also small demon horns cause the red motif goes hard with that idea + the suit he wears. i also dont know if i wanna keep his face featureless or give him a mask thats a rly similar red to his skin
zam is such a creature. just some sleep paralysis demon creature thing. i like to imagine his head is nothing but an eerily smooth and perfect circle and he just sharpies that signature smile on his face and it really shows when it starts to fade away. also to add to the creature vibe i wanna make him rly skinny and bony, and he hides it with oversized clothes. tho his hands definitely give way to that fact
leo, i also wanna leave him simple but i wanna make him a cyborg. the details would probably be in his cyborg parts (mainly head to draw attention to it). his channel name is on his skin as if theyre initials so i wanna make it like the initials on the side of a helmet? in this case i thought why not make the theme like how ppl imaged robots in the 80s? i dont think i can explain my idea well thru text so i guess ill show ppl when it comes down to me drawing it. i just think the cyborg idea fits when hes basically a walking moai statue from what ive seen in his videos lmao
thats kinda all i have for now which are actual solid ideas in my head! im currently walking home from school rn so its hard for me to focus as much as id like. if i remember anyone else or think of em ill post it later :33 i just havent watched enough of the members currently, itll come to me soon enough dont worry

"Rosefly," whose real name we think is Sultan, has never looked better than she does here with her unique & quirky style of smoking!
MY! MY! MY! WHAT DO WE HAVE OVER HERE?
We have an extraordinarily, beautifully gorgeous creature from Turkey who makes her debut on the YouTube webpage "I R S M K W" after one video of her was posted on three YT webpages -- "Hot310 Official," "Mr MoHsin YoUtUbE" and "Smoker Girls." It all boils down to one BHYSW (Beautiful Hot, Young Smoking Woman) having had one livestream on Bigo Live! published on three YT webpages and she added a second (and different) Bigo session that was released on a fourth YT page focused on young women (late-teens/early to mid-20s) from the Arab World, ostensibly Muslims, or from Turkey specifically. The video from our Centerpiece was released on December 1, 2023, a few hours before we captured and downloaded it for our purposes! Could I R S M K W stand for, in English, "Islamic Real Smoking Women?" Might be!
After the 13 folks who run our network -- three administrators/web-masters/web producers and the 10 staff members -- saw this "I-R-S-M-K-W" clip we all agreed she looked familiar but the source of that intimacy did not meet with consensus. Some thought the subject of MY! MY! MY! WHAT DO WE HAVE OVER HERE was merely some woman who looked a lot like Sultan/Rosefly; others thought it was her. Debate raged (well, it was heated to a small degree; not too collegial. The lookalike, we realized, could be an older or younger sister (Mira and Donulay, anyone!). Reached a vote to resolve; 11 voiced their opinion (2 were unavailable); went down to 6-5 tally in favor of our Smoking Angel being Sultan. That's how a democracy works (though SF Deity can veto anything, yet we can override, but the override does not need to be unanimous)! Here we are: We say this is Sultan, whose Bigo Live! ID is Rosefly. We agree there's a possibility that Sultan had undergone a major makeover, or had some work done to her cheeks/cheek bones. But the giveaway, as noted in our introductory tease to the post at the very top of the page/screen says: She has a unique style in these videos. She leans out of the screen mostly, fully or partially to take a toke. She does a tongue flick on the inhale, and her exhales are often of the same consistency, shape and power. She does have authentic mannerisms as a smoker that would be hard to duplicate in their entirety yet we acknowledge it is possible for others to have a replica style similar to Sultan's. We hope to see more of her, whomever she is.
Posted: December 1, 2023, 3 p.m. EST. Linked post from our network added on December 2, 2023, 9:09 p.m. EST. Updated with post from vs120shound-2 on December 3, 2023, 10:41 a.m. EST

Hi. I saw your post about shipping, tho, is possible dynamics ok?
Do you think what could happen between Don Quixote and Outis? They both seem to use fake name (and part of the DQ info be censored) (also Hong Lu but let's talk about this two) and I have a question.
How do you think their interactions can be? With possible lies or not talking about some info (and masking something), what are their reactions could be? With Outis slipping sometimes (as part 4) and Don showing some of her thoughts through the IDs. Do you think they look at each other and decided "I'm not talking about this" or could it be something like "look suspiciously but if I'll ask this could lead to my secrets". As I remember they didn't really interacted yet, so it could be interesting possibility of dynamics.
Sorry if there was question like this, shame on me then. Have a great day !
I think Outis knows that Don lies, but she also knows that Don knows that she lies and she didn't get enough of Dante's trust yet, to be sure that she win if they had to choose who tells truth. After all, Don really doesn't look like someone who would lie right? She's delusional but not a liar, right?
Well, Outis knows it's bullshit and she's pissed because almost nobody see it. She also hates how Don plays this role of fool, because okay, you lie, it's fine, but is it really necessary to create such unreliable persona?
Don, I think, tries to do her best not to provoke this fragile truce. She doesn't want to uncover Outis, but she's ready to do it, if she gives her a reason. She doesn't actually need to know Outis deal, too busy with her own stuff.
Mostly they both try to avoid each other as much as possible. But in some dire situations they are ready to help each other a bit. Don taking everyone's attention to herself to give Outis a second to return her cool. Outis berating Don rudely, calling her immature fool enough times to make sure no one notice how serious Don was a moment before. Not because of some trust, but mostly because they aren't sure if the other won't try to use their dishonesty to redirect heat from reveal.
I also think they both know that Hong Lu lies about something, but none of them can figure out what he hides. Don quixote doesn't actually try to figure more or less just letting him exist. They sometimes speak with each other because their personas similar in some ways but don't try to go deeper. Masters of small talk, and not sharing personal information. Outis is curious, but with Hong Lu being insanely rich, she doesn't want to risk getting on his bad side. After all, a really good assassin could make sure that she won't be revived.
So in my head, Trio of Liars just avoids each other trying to not slip. (They do the same in their universes, which is funny)

id love to hear your thoughts on jyl! freudian or otherwise, with however many mentions of soup that you prefer 🥺🤲
just saw this :0 well i wouldn't say that i have many intelligent thoughts about jyl anymore especially since i don't really get the chance to talk about mdzs / cql much so i'm afraid i'll have to disappoint you on this count (which makes me a hypocrite i know)
but i did go insane below this line so watch out!
but i will say again what i said a few weeks back about us (fandom, society--you choose) missing out on a broader richer storytelling experience (?) when we continue to look over women's stories to get to the "more interesting" men because "well the author made more content about them so there's more to work with". not gonna belabor this point bc many have already pointed out that people will come up with all sorts of elaborate headcanons to talk about mr. blorbo who showed up in the back for ten seconds but nary a word to spare for the women who did quite a lot of narrative heavy lifting. did you know that i literally found a fic where wen chao becomes a ghost and gets together with qi rong in the underworld? do you see the same effort given to women with a similar level of narrative importance or prominence?
in this case part of it IS the fault of mxtx; more named men have died in mdzs than there are named women characters in it altogether (and even then, most of those women died too!). let's count:
women: wen qing, granny wen, jiang yanli, yu ziyuan, luo qingyang (mianmian), baoshan sanren, cangse sanren, a-qing, madam jin, jinzhu and yinzhu, meng shi (jgy's mom), qin su (jgy's wife). i bolded the ones who are dead by the end of the series (total: 13 women, 11 of whom are dead)
"important" men who died: wei changze, jiang fengmian, jin guangshan, jin zixuan, jin zixun, jin guangyao, jin rusong (child), su she, wen chao, wen zhuliu, wen ruohan, wen xu, wen ning (came back), song lan, xiao xingchen, xue yang, nie mingjue, wei wuxian (came back), mo xuanyu (total dead: 19, or 17 if you don't count the resurrected, 16 if you don't count the child)
13 total women characters vs let's say 16 dead men. and i'm sure i missed a few (<- nearly forgot xue yang) but who cares right now. what does this say about mxtx's priorities as a writer, or at the very least how women figure in her imagination?
''but charlie! they had a great impact on the narrative!" this is true. without meng shi's suffering there would be no raison d'etre for jin guangyao. without baoshan sanren's teachings there would be no xiao xingchen and song lan's tragedy, and no a-qing means we wouldn't even have known. no cangse sanren means no wei wuxian means no story at all. no wen qing = no core transfer. no jiang yanli = no jin ling, no yunmeng brothers, no heart to tether them from falling off the edge of morality (both have committed heinous acts in war regardless but jiang yanli represents for them why they had to do it. she's their home and their family that they fought to protect--and for what!) i could go on with each one, but my point is that if you take even one of these women out of the story, it all falls apart, right?
so why don't i hear anything about them?
and because you asked and i love you, let's focus on jiang yanli here: WHY is she more often than not excluded or otherwise glossed over in all the myriad discussions about how tragic the yunmeng brothers are? was she not also their sibling, their family? did she not also suffer the war and the near-total wipeout of her sect? the death of her husband? she DID but no one seems to give a shit about her unless it's to fucking call her SOUP as if that's the only thing she did!
no paragaph-long popular elegiac posts on her experiences and the incredible fortitude it might have taken not only to withstand all that but to do so with nothing but forgiveness? (speaking of forgiveness: that she forgive jin zixuan at all? out of unwavering love????) because it's not easy to stay kind in regular real-life conditions let alone what she had to face, on top of which was the daily terror that she might lose the last three people in her family she depended on as a non-powerful woman in a misogynistic society. how much of this was because mxtx couldn't be assed to develop her character, and how much of it is actually because despite what mxtx might have written, most people would not even notice because she's a woman?
the thing with interpreting fictional works or talking about characters is that you can't accurately pinpoint how much of the character was authorial intent, how much is your projection, and how much was a happy accident. what makes the curtains blue? i could just as easily say that "jiang yanli was the strongest character in mdzs because unlike the men who used their pain to justify their descents into crimes, heinous acts, and corruption, she (who had suffered equally or worse) managed to remain steadfast to her principles" as i could "jiang yanli remained static as a character because mxtx couldn't think of a way to develop her, or otherwise didn't give a shit about her role aside from sacrificial lamb for wei wuxian's and jiang cheng's pain".
but we can't even get to those goddamn discussions when people refuse to take her as seriously as they take their fucking war criminal beeboos so i'd be wasting everyone's FUCKING TIME

(spoilers for TDP season 4)
OKAY. so i dont really do these kinda posts but id like to say a few things about season 4 cus ive seen some things and the fandom making theories, i just like to write about my own thoughts. ive watched s4 only one time due to not having netflix so i dont really remember many scenes.
"season 5 when?" are you good?? the season 4 just dropped 3 days ago! Im serious when i say ive seen multiple people already posting this question mostly on YT comments or Insta. also the fact that they're not artists OR a fic author makes sense honestly. they have no idea how animation works.
"rayla's acting weird" this is what frustrats me the most. NO she's not... ok maybe a little. but like. come the fuck on, she was gone for 2 years. ofc she's not the same person we saw in season 3. people change. plus, personally, i dont see any difference on her except this one time when callum asked her to...kill him. yes rayla acted a lot calm in that scene- not just that scene really. she was so calm most of the time, but i can see why? she's trying to get callum warm up to her, she's giving him space, she's being gentle as much as she can cus she knows how much she hurt him. she's grown up, she's not the same hot-headed, irritated elf anymore. and we all know how she hides her feelings. Im pretty sure she's gotten used to it, or managed to cope her feelings well so that she can stay calm. lastly about rayla, all i have to say is people change, so does rayla. and no she's not fake at all.
firstly, if rayla's acting weird, what about Viren being supportive with Terry? isnt that weirder? he didnt even treat his own son better, but he's supporting a trans fella? sus.... secondly, what about opeli being so chill about Ez going with Zubia. in that case most of the characters in s4 were out of character. and that's okay cus it's been 2 fucking years!
personally i think the "Zubia in Katolis" scene was a bit rushed. they couldve done it better but Im not saying it was bad at all tho! i loved the scene with the whole callum doing magic thing and the dragon sized jelly tart? xD
"why is rayla back?" why not really. she realized it was useless to find viren and came back home? she realized she wanted to see her mage? "we had something so special. but I became so obsessed with revenge, i.. risked losing the best thing ive ever had... you" she CLEARLY missed him yall. ofc she came back.
"where's the rayllum kiss" Im glad we didnt get a rayllum kiss. I know this is a cartoon show but at least the animators made it similar to how an in-real-life relationship works. people dont just go "you were gone for two years but its okay, i forgive you, lets kiss". Callum needs time to get used to being around rayla again. he's happy but also angry, he needs to see how hard rayla's trying to win callum's trust back. it was so clear that callum got a bit comfortable with rayla again in the last few episodes, especially the last one. That hug was enough sign for us to know they're gonna be okay and that they're still deeply in love.
Stella isNT EVIL YALL. leave my poor baby girl alone >:c
the fart joke was......nuhuh. idk if it's just me but it was gross. i dont wanna remember how much i cringed.
claudia was a bit- no fuck it- she was too much this season. especially in that scene where she tricked rayla with pebbles. god that hurt so much.
Lastly, Season 4 was amazing!! i loved season 4, and all the new things we saw. the arc is building up, it's so interesting, im so excited for season 5.

Based on that one song by Camilla Cabello - Shameless because the discord made me insane—
Hyuna x Luka (Assassin AU)
Her world was practically crumbling to her feet and Hyuna didn't know what to do. The kingdom was rightfully up in flames over the recent parties and glamorous events held to please the nobles and celebration of the prince's debutante, yet they did this all while their people were starving and dying, only able to voice their words over the anonymous voice that was the internet.
Scrolling through all the threads of people asking for help again and again, her anger bubbled quickly into rage. She had gotten into this kind of work to fix this, and yet she hadn't done anything. Anything. It was annoying, sufferingly so that she couldn't help anybody.
She clicked her phone off. Now was not the time to dwell on what she has and hasn't done, because right now, she is about to bomb one of the very last grand parties held at the palace and hopefully show those stupid nobles right in their faces that their hubris will be the end of them.
Just the idea makes her feel better.
Breathing out and slowing her heart, she stuffs her phone in her breast pocket and fixed her blazer. She was wearing a classic suit and tie, as it seemed that more masculine was in fashion due to the prince's debutante.
Tch, the mere thought of the man makes her blood boil. They were similar in age, and yet, so, so different. Too different.
She fixes the mic in her ear as she brushes through her hair once again, remembers her posture and expression, and begins to walk up the stairs.
The guards don't even check for an ID or invitation she looks so natural in her act. She is a little proud of herself.
The chandeliers are blinding as she is made immediately aware of the loud chattering despite it being almost midnight. All she has to do is mess up the party and she is out of here, repeats in her head like a mantra. She calms down and zones out the loud noises as she focuses on her mission.
She takes a small wineglass from one of the servers and pretends to sip on it as she scouts the area. Heavily guarded, she notes. But not enough that she couldn't get away. They were really getting careless at this point.
Finally, she spots it, a little hallway a bit behind one of the staircases to the second floor. A servant hallway for them to traverse without the nobles getting all pissy that there are commoners breathing their precious air.
She glances around to see if anybody notices her— they do not— and so she takes her chance.
Slipping into the passage, she is quick to find a break room for the servants and use one of the many dresses to disguise herself. It was a simple maid's dress, yet her prosthetic was poking out a little bit which worried her. It was the only recognizable part of her that was usually posted on her wanted posters.
So, she just decided to pull her boots up higher and hope nobody noticed.
Testing the weight on her prosthetic, she is filled with relief when she finds it isn't that painful.
Moving back out and slipping through with the rest of the servants, she seamlessly travels the halls of the palace looking for the throne room. All she has to do is leave the mark of the rebellion and get out. It'll be more than sending a message, it'll give people hope. Something very uncommon nowadays.
Going up a pair of stairs and twisting and turning whichever way. She would've been lost had the map of the castle not been practically engraved into her brain. Finally, she saw another servant hallway. Specifically, the one that headed straight to the throne room.
She slowed down a little bit, the peace settling into her bones. It was eerily, perhaps peacefully quiet. The bright moon casts great shadows in the long halls. Painting otherwise bland painting and statues into something hauntingly gorgeous. She could almost stay here forever. She doesn't.
She hurries into the servant hallway and continues making her way towards the throne room. Two rights, up a few flights of stairs, and then a left turn leads her right to the doorway which leads to the throne room.
She breathes in heavily once more, stopping her continuing breath for a moment to hear anything. She hears nothing. She steps in.
The throne room is even more grand than tales say. Giant pillars of stone waxed and carved to perfection. Carpets and capes more expensive than she ever will be, decorating the floor and walls. The only indication that this was from the modern period instead of the age of Zeus was the occasional indent in the wall to indicate a TV or the giant blaring cameras pointed every which way.
Thankfully, she doesn't have to deal with those cameras. They've been down the moment she got inside the castle thanks to one of her friends in the rebellion. They were pretty well known for their expertise in technology.
Slipping into the throne room after admiring it from inside the safety of the servant quarters, she takes one last moment to look around. The dome-like room had a glass roof, showcasing the gorgeous stars. The giant, imposing throne having the light hit it just right making it look like some seat of light.
She is quick to take out her knife and begin carving into the stone of the throne. First, she slowly begins making the mark of the rebellion. A songbird flying. It may not mean much, but with a modern monarchy so heavily associated with music and harmony, they were surprisingly strict on who was allowed to sing what. So, it was a rebellious signet. Something that couldn't be bound by the laws of this land.
Second, some sort of phrase to catch eyes. She tries to think for a moment, coming up with "The revolution is here" and, "Continue singing" as a few before groaning and hitting her hand against the stone. She has to make something memorable and iconic to the revolution and she can't do even that?
Then she hears a chuckle. She jumps as she feels a chest hit her back and push her back onto the throne.
"Aren't you cute, sweetheart?" The honeyed voice purred in her ear and she recoils.
It's Luka. Prince Luka. The man this whole party was thrown for and he isn't even attending it.
She whips her head around and backs up into the throne, trying to hide her handiwork she has indented upon it, "Why the hell are you here? Shouldn't you be at the party?" She snarls as he laughs.
"Yes, I suppose so.. but I never found any fun in them to begin with," His face momentarily drops to something of anger before going up again to that saccharine smile.
"May I ask what you are doing here?" He teases as she feels her brain cells leaving around this man.
"Same as you, I never found fun in parties," She sticks out her tongue and tries to relax herself against the throne like she does belong here.
"And is that why you're defiling my father's throne?" He inquires, barely stopping a smirk from falling onto his face.
Hyuna visibly gulps as his smile widens, "Uh, yes, exactly," She nervously laughs.
Shit this isn't how it was supposed to go at all. She was expecting him to be caught up in the glitz and glamour of the party, not this!
Suddenly he is all up in her face, caging her on the throne. His hands are above her head and he is practically straddling her on the throne. His blonde hair is inches away from her face and— her face flushes in embarrassment as she pushes him away.
Only to find he grabs her wrist to pull him with her.
Suddenly they are in this weird tango as Hyuna tries her hardest to hide all the weapons on her body and Luka tries to find them.
He twirls her around as she expertly avoids tripping over her feet as he suddenly grabs her by the waist and pulls her in.
"You're surprisingly good at this, what's your name?" He asks, his charming smile now dropped to a more monotone, almost annoyed look.
He keeps his firm grip on her waist as she begins to take the lead in the tango and somehow doesn't tangle their feet as she dips him and twirls him.
Suddenly, she recognizes her body shifts in weight as they switch positions. Suddenly, he is the one guiding her in the smooth steps of the tango as he practically has himself holding onto her thigh.
Eventually, he dips her as she is forced to raise her leg so she can balance and not fall and goodness does it annoy her.
Suddenly, he changes the tempo as he practically slides Hyuna right into his chest and she is forced to put her head onto his chest despite them having close heights. She sighs at her own predicament.
Carrying both of them, Luka guides her with on hand on her waist and another holding her hand as they seem to waltz slowly across the floor.
"Something wrong, sweetheart?" He hums in her ear, "Cat got your tongue?" He makes a bold move to slightly nibble on her ear as she stiffens and immediately begins to up the dance into a more hurried waltz.
He simply laughs, something in her heart flutters at it. She is quick to ignore it.
Eventually the two slow to simply swaying from side to side on the dance floor, holding each other tight. If you asked Hyuna why she was embracing the enemy right now she couldn't give you an honest answer.
Inhaling his scent, of roses and heavy perfume, she was surprisingly not disgusted by it. All the while, Luka is humming soft folk songs in her ear. She recognizes one of them from her childhood. A song of a girl bravely encountering a beast near her village and falling in love with it, breaking the cursed spell and turning them back into a human. Some of the words he sang were unfamiliar now, but they were once the language her mother would whisper to her before bedtime and for once, she feels like crying.
Putting her head into the crook of his neck, she can only dig herself deeper in the silky fabric of his shirt as she wets his from her tears.
He seems frozen for a moment, before pulling himself together and slowly wrapping his arms around her tightly. Like if he were to let go everything would fall apart. And she could only think the same.
Blonde hair grazed her eyelashes as she felt the tears slowly melt away. She gasps softly to regain her composure.
"Where did you hear that song?" Hyuna inquires, turning her head from the crook of his neck to face Luka. His face is oddly monotone.
"I believe during a banquet In another kingdom," he reminisces, "I can't remember which, they all blend together."
"Oh," she sighs, "I see," He stops swaying for a moment, "It was the Golden Republic, if memory serves correctly," He tightens his grip on Hyuna, "They were known for their rich culture."
She dips her head back down into his shoulder again. She remembers why she is here again. Not to waltz with some sad prince, but to crumble the very society that benefits from hurting others.
She moves her hands from his hair to his shoulders as she pushes him down onto the ground.
She feels guilty. She doesn't know why. He looks betrayed. She doesn't know why.
Her face flashes with conflicted emotions that she hesitates for a moment, which is more than enough for Luka to pounce and switch the positions as Hyuna is found herself to be frozen underneath the man's monotonous, and if anything, sour gaze.
He is quick to go for her throat and squeeze as she thrashes and throws him off.
"What, too much for you, sweetheart?" His voice now sour, the nickname filled with contempt. Oh lord, she feels guilty. She feels something for him. She can't pin what though.
She is quick to go for a running start to him as they both tackle each other and roll on the ground trying to get the advantage on one another.
Though, she seems to find herself at a disadvantage as her leg squeaks in pain as she shuts her eyes, attempting not to scream. Instead, the pain coming out in a low groan.
Luka stops dead in his tracks. His eyes gazing down to her leg. He is straddling her on the floor with both of his hands pinning hers so she can't hurt him.
He is stronger than he looks.
He exchanges a glance back at Hyuna before focusing on her prosthetic and slowly lifting himself off of it so he is slightly hovering. So not to hurt her.
Her heart squeezes.
"The guards will be hear soon, they heard the commotion from downstairs," He nestles into the crook of her neck and whispers into her ear, "You don't have much time, sweetie."
Her breath catches in her throat as she tries to come up with some sort of escape plan. She cannot move and if she did he'd immediately be right back on her. Unless she could distract him long enough—
Oh. A brilliant, but stupid idea. A very stupid idea.
She focuses back on Luka, his face is so close she can feel his hot breath on her skin. She shuddered.
She stares into his eyes for a moment, and really takes a look at him. He is breathing heavily and his hair is tousled from the fight. His cheeks are beet red and sweat drips from him into the floor or Hyuna. His eyes are slightly glazed over in some sort of haze, she cannot tell what. His eyes are trained on her. He seems lost in thought.
She visibly gulps. Now or never.
Luka gets a bit closer to Hyuna just as she acts out her plan. Her lips connect with those of Luka's. His are surprisingly soft and warm.
He immediately lets out a sigh of relief at the kiss before he recognizes that he loosened his grip on one of her hands and she has a knife to his throat. He tastes of chocolate and grapes. Luxuries Hyuna could never hope to buy just for the fun of it.
Does he want this??
She doesn't much time to think though, as Luka himself digs deeper into the knife, little drops of blood slowly coming out as he kisses her deeper, more passionately. She really isn't prepared for this.
Her mind feels hazy and dream-like as she vaguely recognize him beginning to use tongue in the kiss. His hands are now hugging her close by the waist, and her hands are confused whether to grab for her knife or run her fingers through her hair.
And for just a few moments, she lets the intrusive thoughts win as she drags her nails across his scalp and he groans into her mouth.
She feels bad for doing this. But she must. They are on opposing sides. Any more of this and she'd consider herself conspiring with the enemy.
She flips him over so she is over him as she breaks the kiss. He is clearly upset as his hands immediately go to thread her hair and pull her back down. She has to refuse.
"I can't," her voice is hoarse. She doesn't know why.
"You can," He sounds desperate, angry for the first time she hears him, "Stay with me," He drags his hands through her hair and it takes all her willpower not to drop into him right now.
His eyes are filled in a love struck haze, he can't seem to focus as his eyes are consistently drooping. Perhaps he drank a bit before this? She can't do this. Not now. Not in this time.
"I'm sorry," She whispers, cupping his face as she pecks his nose and then lightly kisses his lips. He is quick to hold her in place for a few seconds before she can hear the familiar match of guards and she is quick to get up and begin to bolt even if her prosthetic hurts like hell.
"The balcony," His voice is hoarse. He is sitting up to watch her leave, "Use it, they won't realize." He gives her a charming smile. His unbuttoned shirt seeming even more frivolous and messy after their little situation. Her face heats up.
Opening the glass doors to the balcony, the cold air hitting her face is a welcome gift after all the heat inside the throne room.
"Hyuna." She turns back to look at him, "You asked for my name right?" She gives him a wiry smile and she swears she can see stars in his eyes.
He repeats her name once and twice, and maybe a fifth or sixth time just for extra measure. Before looking back up at her, "We'll meet again and when we do I'll ask for your hand—" he is quickly to stand up and practically push into her hands a handkerchief with a number etched into it, "And don't worry about the throne, I'll deal with your...catchphrase." He finally stops his mother Henning as he grasps at her hands once more, squeezes and then let's go.
She leaves just as the guards break down the door.
She leaves with a heart conflicted when the other leaves with a heart full.

Sooooo... i wanted to stick this little rambly thing at the bottom of the redraw but it would have made it look UGLY so im doing this separately... just wanna talk about the whole thing and What Not.
TLDR: its been a slash positive ride thats been worth it to try "something new" every year and my favorite piece out of all of them is the 9th. also for the curious heres the comparison of the 5th anni piece to the recent one (2018 -> 2023)
Tumblr media
anyway. personal post time.
oh where to begin *rocks on my rocking chair* i guess it would be with the 5th anniversary piece...at the time it had been a long while since i did lineless art and i thought it would be cool to try it again for that one so i did by redrawing an old piece from 2014... that was the first "finished piece" i made of Them. i think i even made it into a wallpaper for myself lmao. anyway after i posted it i was like "aw man i should draw something every year until the 10th" but i thought yeah right. im going to forget next year like the idiot i am. but i Some How managed to do one every year... th worms got me... i honestly didnt think id make it all the way to the 10th but i did!! AND WITHOUT MISSING A DAY EXCEPT FOR THE 7TH WHERE I WAS A WEEK LATE???? UNREAL especially when fun fact! every year i had no idea what i wanted to do! all i knew for sure is that i wanted each piece to be out of my comfot zone to push me to do something a little different. unfortunately the subjects tm where always the same so it feels a little. samey. but these are my celebratory posts I GET TO ONLY POST ABOUT THE OTP SUPER BLORBOS OF ALL TIME
the 6th anniversary was a redraw of that one scene. you know the one. the helicopter one. fucking hate that scene btw it actually causes me psychic damage i cant watch with the audio or ill scream. but it is my favorite scene of mine despite all the horrors it causes <3 and i wanted to redraw it as if it was a cartoon... like i had taken screencaps from the lcu cartoon in my head. i still remember the backgrounds being such a pain in the ass. honestly id like to go back and redo this one one day too or do something similar to the concept because its a fun one that i always saw done growing up and i wanted to try it myself.
for the 7th anniversary you can see the turn.. no more humans... return to lego... i was getting a little more confident in drawing them in the lego form so i did another redraw this time with the ending!! honestly i still like this one and how it looks even with how late it was but i wanted to test my confidence and do a real True and Finished piece with COLORED LINES and EVERYTHING!!!!! im glad i ended up taking the turn because for the LONGEST TIME i wanted to try and draw them as lego so bad because all i did was draw them as humans and its funny because now its the exact opposite. glad this piece was kinda the solidification in my head that yeah okay im a bit better at drawing the stylized lego toy now i can keep drawing them like this without feeling like im going to want to delete this in 2 weeks.
the 8th anniversary one is so weird. somewhere toward the beginning of the year it got into my head that i wanted to do a comic of them but time/school would have gotten in the way so i ended up opting for a page. another redraw of the ending scene which honestly out of all of them this is my least favorite one and its solely because its all so off. i def could have formated it better so the background shot doesnt take up the entire fucking page but then again im not a comic guy and this was my first time so the layout was bound to look HORRID but this is something id like to come back to ive had the idea of making like a genuine short comic about them since FOREVER and now that im a bit more experienced (lying) i would like to make one day!!!! just gotta stop getting caught up in my scripts!! and going in circles!! Because im obviously not a writer and i keep getting first-hand embarrassment from these!! but ill get over it one day lol.
OH THE 9TH ANNIVERSARY PIECE MY BELOVED. ONE OF MY FAVORITE PIECES ACTUALLY i love this stupid thing so much you have no idea.i know its re-using lineless but i just loved the idea of what it would look like lineless AND IT CAME OUT SO PERFECT I LOVE IT SO MUCH obv it needs a few touch-ups so the main issues dont stand out to me but god. i love this piece so much. idk what came out of me to make this but its so good ill never get over it. and the little lego them as a cake topper ITS JUST SO CUTE I DONT HAVE MUCH TO SAY OTHER THAN I LOVE THIS SO MUCH SORRY
finally. the 10th anniversary piece. oh my god. okay. i need everyone to understand this. i had woken up with this fucking Unbearable pounding headache that was trying to kill me. my body the entire day wanted me to stop and lie down, but last night i was already done with a good chunk of it and all i had to do that day was finish some lines and the coloring?? i literally don't remember all i remember is my body actively trying to shut down and force me to stop and sleep which i took a nap? didnt help. so i said fuck it im finishing this. i was. an entire goddamn corpse arched over my laptop. i was so delirious the entire time its a fucking miracle it even came out as good as it did but honestly. i still hate how it fucking looks. like you can TELL when i gave up (the shading) and it sticks out like a sore fucking thumb to me and it pisses me off because i knew i could have done so much better if i wasnt being stricken down by gods hand and his every attempt to get me to rest. idk like im generally proud ot it, with this one i wanted to go out with a bang tm so i tried to draw every important and relevant character instead of ALL of them like I was originally planning LMAO but ah well. maybe one day when im faster at drawing. this one i defiantly wanna go back and touch up but i everytime i open the file i can see 40 more things wrong with it and it drives me nuts. so ill just have to wait for when im ready. i guess.
can i just say though. the improvement is crazy. it always catches me off guard because tbh i uh. dont like my own art. im getting better at not fucking hating it because i can pinpoint everything wrong with it but whenever i see the side by sides it always surprises me. i always dont think im improving but then i see it and its like wow i really am getting better! i still suck at 3000 things but im getting better! and its overall just a nice thing to see after having drawn them for as long as i have... the power of the worms is strong and has ruined my brain...... speaking of i know ive said a few times that i fucking hate certain pieces, not just LCU related ones but almost anything i post, but if you love them and are able to look at them with a twinkle in your eye then thank you. genuinely. i honestly love looking over the tags of people exploding and saying nice things. it warms my cold little heart and im glad there are people out there that genuinely love some of the things what i do! even if its just fanart and its just their blorbo. thank you for sticking around even tho all i do is draw my otp super blorbos :'^) this game means the world to me and im glad like more than 2 people wanna spread it around.
to wrap back around to the anniversary stuff and speaking of big love to the people out there THE FREAKING EPIC ZINE i was just a small thing but it came out amazing even for how small it was thank you to the contributors and thank you to everyone whos downloaded it!! its still getting the occasional and i love getting the notif in my email about it. i love that there are still people out there who wanna see it and all the hard work everyone put into it to celebrate the games 10th just thank you again i really does mean alot to me ALSO IF YOU HAVENT CHECKED IT OUT PLEASE DO IT IS 100% WORK YOUR TIME AND ITS DIGITAL WITH PRINT AT HOME STICKERS AND YOU CAN KEEP IT AND LOOK AT IT FOREVER
uh to end this off....would I like to do this again..... I mean I kinda am? by that i mean ill do the big numbers (15, 20, 25, 30, 40, etc) till the day i freaking die!!!! but yeah no countdown stuff ever again!!!!! sorry :^( it was super fun to do though!!!! and im glad i did it that piece is the conclusion to the whole thing but that doesnt mean ill stop drawing them. duh. theyre my characters now! but heres to many more anniversaries and to hopefully another game! or to just see them again in any other lego media! or even better... a mischaracterized cameo in ninjago!

omgomg hii!!! i am mutuals with your girlfriend Katey an i saw that you're making a warrior cats story!!! i'd love to be included if theres still some spots open!!! im not really sure which clan id be in (i always thought id be in WindClan when i was readin the series), but i dont mind between SageClan, SpiritClan and VineClan! anyways thank you so much an i hope im not too late!!!
xo icarus :3
Of course you can join! I'm half way through the prologue of the Warrior cats story. If you could can you tell me what your cat would look like, their name, and the clan you want to join. I'm very excited, aside from my gf's, you're the first one to ask to join!
I should probably make a post about the clans, but SageClan and SpiritClan are on similar territory as WindClan.
RidgeClan's territory is similar to The Tribe of Rushing Water, on high mountans mainly hunting birds, it's pretty cold up there.
AbyssClan lives in a ravine close to the mountains, it's a little warmer than RidgeClan, the main pray is birds too.
TreeClan lives in a forest, most of the clan lives in the trees, birds are easy to catch up there.
FrostClan lives in snowy plains with the camp underground in tunnels, rabbits and hares are common there, but herbs are rare and they rely on other clans for there main source of herbs.
VineClan is in a jungle, parrots are hard to catch but makes for a good meal for the clan, more rare herbs can be found there.
SageClan territory is covered in big patches of herbs, mice dens are common there too.
SpiritClan is said to have a stronger connection to StarClan because the tunnel to the Moonstone is on their territory, It is part of the Warrior code to 'Not prevent cats from getting to the Moonstone'.
There is a big Twoleg place close to TreeClan, a farm near SageClan, and a abandoned mine near AbyssClan.
I'll make a more detailed post about the Map and Clans soon.
Also prologue coming soon as like a teaser.

"Ozpin's Fault AU"
Discoveries (917 Words)
Ruby was dreading going to classes. With all the weirdness that had been happening to JNPR, in particular, Jaune... she was finding it hard to focus on school. Things were just too distracting, of course it didn't help that Yang had shared the now infamous "Wedding Gown" photo to their whole friend group. So now Ruby was conflicted. Jaune was her first friend of Beacon. They shared many similar interests, comics, video games, action movies. Though she did wish he would seriously consider getting a ranged option.
But this conflict was not related to that desire. No, this conundrum was totally about what seeing Jaune as she was now as compared to what he was about two days ago. Ruby had been comparing pictures of Jaune. Taken by her or their friends, and she was noticing something, and it was confusing her. Sighing, she closed the photo application on her scroll, and open the browser function.
She had heard the Nora and Yang making comments about an OnlyFans page, Golden-something, so not feeling hungry and still having some time before her first class, Ruby navigated to the proper website. She still couldn't completely remember the channel name that Yang had mentioned, but she didn't feel like messaging her older half-sister to get it, so she just started to browse.
"PERFECTIONisSNOWANGEL? That looks like?"
/=/
After finishing her call with Qrow, and securing his assistance, she was on her way towards Ozpin's office when her scroll began to vibrate. Pulling it out, she looked to check the caller ID and froze in her tracks. It was one of her two twin sisters. Katherine Adel, Coco's mom. She was concerned that her youngest twin was calling out of the blue, so hesitantly she answered.
"Kat? This is a surprise."
"Glyn, you wouldn't believe what I just saw." Kat responded, a dangerous glint in her eyes.
"Oh, really?" Glynda schooled her features, preventing the apprehension that was rising with in her from showing upon her face.
"Yes, I was checking my scroll notifications from yesterday, as you know how busy I get, when inspiration strikes."
"I do." Kat was the most fashioned minded of the Goodwitch triplets. She turned her huntress training into a growing fashion empire, focused booth on elegance for the civilian population and function for the fashion conscious huntsman and huntress. "Coming up with anything..."
"I had all these posts from my darling little Coco," Katherine Adel cut off her oldest sister. "So artfully done, those picture, but I noticed something..."
"And what was that?" Glynda was having a hard time keeping her anxiety over the possibilities of this conversation going somewhere she wasn't ready to deal with.
"It was Coco's model. A darling of a young vixen. A real heartbreaker, she is..."
"Kat, you're starting to ramble."
"I guess I am, anyway," Kat gave Glynda the smile. It was almost as much of a trademark look as Glynda's stare. A look that promised trouble. "She bore such a resemblance to the family, almost a carbon image of Jade, Juniper and Jaune..."
Glynda began to sweat.
"Appeared to be the same age too..."
"Is... is this going somewhere, Kat?"
"I was trying to place the gorgeous girl, and then I remembered..." Kat's smile grew. " Around the time Jas was pregnant with the triplets, you sort of fell off the map.
"Oh gods, no." Glynda thought.
"Is there something you want to let your favourite sister in on, Glyn? A delectable secret you've been keeping from your precious and loved sisters?"
"No. Not that I can recall."
"Really?" Kat's eyes narrowed, but her smile never faltered. "No hidden away beau... a faunus hunk that gave you a precious bundle of joy?"
"No, please Gods no." Glynda begged in her mind.
"It hurts, you know."
"Hurts?"
"Yes, that you would hide such a thing from Jas and me." the smile turned to a pout. "Did you think we wouldn't accept her? That we are as backwater as that lout Alistair Winchester?"
"I..."
"Anyway," the smile returned. "I called Jas, and we've decided..."
"Fuck, shit, hell, kill me now!" Glynda's mind raced, as Katherine continued.
"... that we're coming for a visit. Jas, Jade and Juniper want to check up and Jaune, and we all..."
"Justifiable homicide. That is what it'll be when I get to that office, Ozpin." Glynda thought.
"... are coming to Beacon to meet our newest addition." Kat's smile deepened, "And we're expecting some answers. See you tomorrow!"
"Please no." Glynda whined as Kat hung-up. "Fuck my life!"
/=/
Ruby was so entranced with the free offerings of PERFECTIONisSNOWANGEL that she totally missed breakfast. Before her in a ratty flannel shirt, torn jeans and worn baseball cap, that her flowing white hair was pulled through, sat Weiss. She was on a simple wooden barstool, alone in a room, a well-used acoustic guitar on her lap, decorated with multiple band decals.
"I am doll eyes..." she sang in a low, almost mournful voice. A cover of a song from a band Ruby had never listened to. "... doll mouth, doll legs."
Ruby scanned her page, seeing her followed count, and the multiple videos locked behind a cheap paywall. One that she could easily afford to spring for. The last video posting was two years ago, and that made Ruby wonder a couple of things. One why Weiss had never told anyone about this part of her life. Why she seemed so morose, and what the reason was that PERFECTIONisSNOWANGEL stopped uploading content.

YOU THERE
GIVE ME KINGER HEADCANONS. FOR SCIENCE
UEWAGH IDK I DONT HAVE INTELLIGENT THOUGHTS ABT HIM ummmm
im inclined to agree that his body isnt very comfortable for hugs but id like to argue his hands would probably be warm since they arent Wood. softer too but probably has a fabric texture
gangle kinger friendship is so so real to me just based on how ready they were to play rock-paper-scissors for rescuing zooble. i think she shows him her art :)
speaking of its also rlly cute that he was excited to go save zooble & that he was so relieved they were ok,,, he definitely cares abt the others id like to see him interact with everyone more
i had a post drafted abt this but it didnt rlly go anywhere But he definitely knows more than he lets on. i cant quite decide if he might be playing up his mental issues To an extent to hide what he knows or if hes 100% just like that, but jaxs comment after kinger lore drops abt how digital food works makes me think kinger doesnt let that knowledge slip very often. being there the longest (of the main cast if not ever) means hes had plenty of time to pick up on how the digital world works
theres also the theory that kinger knew kaufmo had likely abstracted, which is why he declined to go check on him. kinger probably does recognize the warning signs & he drew a parallel with kaufmos obsession with exits to pomnis insistence that she saw one. a way of warning her maybe? dare i say... foreshadowing...?
i think hes unlikely to abstract any time soon. hes made it this long even with the potential loss of a lover & who knows how many friends, itd take a Lot to break him at this point. i think i mentioned this in a kingspring post somewhere but i also think that, despite these losses, kinger doesnt close himself off to forming new relationships & befriending ppl. there mightve even been a time where he Didnt try to befriend someone before they abstracted & he regretted it
theyre all pretty animated given the stylistic choices but i like to think kinger especially talks with his hands ,,, i also like to think he fidgets with his hands now & then, the way he drummed his fingers together in the gloink queen scene,,,,
i kind of agree with the idea kinger was moreso playing into his role as royalty to appease the gloink queen than him actually believing it himself, but i wouldnt be surprised if hes been there so long hes just like "ok yeah im a king." well have to see if he references it again in other contexts
i think hes more jumpy than downright a coward? he tends to flinch a lot & thats usually from being startled, but no one was Afraid of the gloink queen at all. he didnt panic until a real threat like abstracted kaufmo showed up, & he was the one to alert caine abt the situation. he might react differently in later episodes tho
lots of ppl theorize his mentions of an insect collection relate to him potentially working on the game theyre all stuck in & looking for bugs in the code & i think thats very cool but also i think he should be an entomologist :) you can always trust a man who likes bugs ok!!! i bet he was into bug taxidermy i forgot what its called. pinning? when you put them up in the display frames?? i think he probably did that too
half of me wants to say he & queenie werent even dating... ik its a very very popular fan interpretation tho so im hesitant to go against the idea. i do think it brings up an interesting concept tho,, do ppl who get sent to the circus at the same time share a theme, assuming they even joined at the same time? what determines a persons digital body? why were they so similar?
he is sooo in love with flicker <3 (/j.... unless?)
ok thats all i got 4 now u.u iirc someone else asked abt my hcs so i tried not 2 repeat myself too much xp

I saw your detrans post and felt super validated by it! I took T for a bit and then decided it wasn't for me, and went back to id-ing as nonbinary. I'm curious if that counts as detrans or retrans, and if many others have had a similar experience.
i'm glad to hear you feel a bit better!
i'm glad you took the time to figure yourself, and especially to admit that T wasn't right for you, i think you're super cool for doing that! there's no shame in being wrong, you were trying to do what you thought was best for yourself at that time
yes, i have come across quite a few people in the same boat, myself included! i enjoy testosterone HRT but i do not like being seen as a man, especially not a cis one. it's okay to try something and figure out it's not for you, and technically it can count as whatever you want it to- detrans and retrans would both fit, it's up to you to decide what you think makes the most sense for you! you can also call yourself trans as well if that's too complicated, or just nonbinary.
hope that helps, take care, we're glad we could've helped! take it easy, stay safe out there

I would love to read your review of the entire drama when you finish it! As a Korean autistic person, I think it would be a valuable perspective for most :)
Hi fellow Korean autistic! How did you end up in here?! Feel free to ask & offer a different perspective with my post!
Hmm, I will briefly write how it was so far (I watched till episode 13, then decided to binge-watch remaining episode this weekend!) then repost and add further after I finish all the drama!
Initally when I heard about drama, I did not have good impression because I thought it was another savant cliché drama. Then I saw the capture of episode 3 and thought that this might be different, and start watching it & fell in love in this show. some of the plot points were introduced abruptly, but overall, the representation was good, I could see why character was behaving in such way, in my opinion.
Episode 9 was the one I cringed initially, but when I realized what writer wanted to talk about & watched again, it felt much better. it was strange experience I ever had with any media, because the impression I have rarely changes.
When I saw the teaser of episode 10, I was nervous how it would be handled, but it really turned out nicely (@kay-tf-volution's review pointed out how love with ID should be handled really well, then I had something similar to Young-Woo's whale breaching moment. It was absolutely amazing. Before reading the review, I was like "Man this is difficult question. to what extent it is okay or not?")
Episode 11 and 12 was good as well, but I could feel that things started to get wonky in episode 13. too many random plot points suddenly being introduced, too many seemingly OOC moments (I did not think it was OOC; just some different side of person, but if it is media, writer has an obligation to convince the audience why such side is showing up.) At this point I was relating myself to Young-Woo so much, so it hurt to read negative comments towards drama (I am aware that their opinion is valid and I should not take it personally, but... it is not easy to do so), Some even commented how Young-Woo's autism looks fake & inconsistent (while her behavior totally made sense in my autistic viewpoint), and brought up "the reality of being family member of autistic person" (ensue painful and dreadful life of a family who used up all the resources to autistic family member who behaves in incomprehensible & uncontrollable way, then ends up sending him to facilities, and bunch of comments that invalidates the existence of autistic people like Young-Woo(which is almost equivalent of invalidating my existence)).
I had a shutdown on that day.
It damaged me so much. Not because of the show, but because of the comments of the people made.
Since I was nervous how the show would end - because if it fails to convince the audience, people will think autistic person like Young-Woo is not real, and they would call me "don't look autistic"... I decided to abstain from watching the show until it ends.
I did read comments & reactions on episodes tho. I got really nervous when it was not good. I was scared if I won't be able to present this as good autism representation show. I was seen by this drama and I don't want it to go away because of the bad ending.
THEN I just read the comments of the episode 16, then just found out that it ended in really nice, convincing way. Oh, I am more than relieved. I am happy that it would be able to be remembered as show with good start & ending. That I could use this show to explain myself. That I could possibly proudly say to others to overlook some wonky parts and focus on good things & messages in the show. Thank god.
Now I will be able to sleep in peace. I will decide if episode 14-16 is good or not, on my own. and make a comment about it.

june 04, 2023; 8:46 pm - should we just keep driving?
hi tumblr! how are you guys doing? how was everyone’s weekend? ako, im ready to talk about my date yesterday so if youre bored and you wanna join me in dissecting the events of yesterday’s date then please feel free to read along
we met up in coffee academics and it felt almost nostalgic seeing him again? kasi the last time we saw each other was early 2022 and alot has happened since then and i ultimately felt like “im so glad he’s meeting this version of myself naman”
it was really fun, like it was so good to remember how fun it actually is whenever we’re together; ang ingay niya, pero ako rin, tapos ang kulit namin saka ang gulo ng mga topics namin and i enjoyed every single bit of it, we talked about serious stuff as in we really wanted to know kung anong nagbago samin and also we were talking about aliens and weird stuff like that basta tawa kami ng tawa
he was nice enough to go with me to atc to buy food for my family and back to molito again kasi he was parked there
we ended up hanging out a bit sa car niya for a bit in the same parking spot just talking and listening to music and eventually thinking of somewhere else to go kasi nga we didnt want to go home pa naman; he also asked if i still remember the name he gave his car and ofcourse i still remembered it and i dont think im ever gonna not remember it
we ended up going to a more quiet parking spot away from the malls and just remembering everything now is making me emotional?
he opened up the back door of his car (the type na paside yung open ng door) and we just talked - we talked for hours as in we were there from siguro 7 pm to 11 pm just talking
okay so ofcourse there was some flirting and i loved every bit of it and he was really touchy which i really loved too pero the fact na he initiated converstations really had me feeling really good and fuzzy inside? i was telling my bestfriends na it felt so refreshing to just talk to someone about everything and anything after months of just keeping everything to myself
we laughed lot - i cant explain why or how but this is so important to me, and i think im craving this more than sex?
we did end up making out but again that was just the cherry on top of everything else just being so good
but there are things na i got to take away from my our date last night which i guess would help me from putting a label on how im feeling right now:
he isnt really looking into dating seriously so thats the catch, and tbh i dont know if he ever will be and if im even going to be on his list of people he would even want to consider dating?
with that being said, and i actually told him this din - i actually dont have enough time and energy to wait around for him or for anyone who would be similar to him
kaya ang sakin lang is - im just glad i got to show him who i really am and i hope thats enough for him to see what he could lose if he does end up not pursuing me
im glad na i also got to show him who i am genuinely and im also glad na atleast now, i really know what i want in a relationship
it wouldve been nice if siya yung person na makukuha ko, but atleast he was the one to show me na it is possibe to have the type of relationship na im looking for and that hopefully it will just take some time before i get to have that experience for real and for good
im a bit sad now kasi nga this just proves na stuff like this always and will always rarely happen to me nalang, but im still trying to be as patient and hopefully as i can be
so yeah - i wouldnt say na back to zero ako, but im just glad na everything happened the way it did; its weird too kasi in coffee academics, the neone sign beside me literally stated “youre exactly where you need to be” and i knew that meant something kaaagd
if youve made it to the end of my post, thank you for reading along. ikaw, what do you think? id love to hear your thoughts (tbh just so i stop thinking about all of this) but also id love the company cause everything feels really bittersweet right now
but yeah - i hope the evening goes well for all of us; we all deserve to rest before conquering another week

mutual love!!!! inspired by @gaytoadwithapopcicle (anon love will come tomorrow,,, ,.,,.,.,.,, im tirired)
@lyssys - oh my goodness where do i even begin. um. the whole reason why im even here???? the whole reason why i love logging onto tumblr?????? the whole reason that im inspired????? uh. hello??? literally greatest person ever. ive said this before but they remind me of mumza and niki... as caring and sweet and open as mumza and as beautiful and empowering as niki!!! the best of the best... huge inspiration for me,,, and im lowkey still shocked that she was my first mutual and she (wonderful amazing beautiful lyss) asked me (rambling bozo) to be moots! but nonetheless it was absolutely amazing ofc!! i worship them soso much. deserves the world <33
@sardonic-the-writer - insanely similar to lyss'- where do i even begin. i used to literally freak out to your amazing writing. again, v v surprised that they (absolutely cool, insanely talented sardonic) asked me (someone who used to reel over their work and inhale it like air) to be mutuals!!! aaa i remember when they first asked,,, i recently hit 100 nd was playing guitar when i saw them ask to be moots! i had to put my instrument down so i caan get up and jump w joy :)) but anywho very very talented! and accepting as well, i dunno how they were able to withstand me and lyss spamming them w scrunkbut /affectionate. also the whole reason i have like half of my mutuals :DD couldnt have done it w/o u man :)
@gaytoadwithapopcicle - MY MANNN!!1!!!!! my pal my guy my brotherein my homeslicicle my bro...... another instance in which i got rlly happy when they asked to be moots!!! like okqoabajwjsjwmwnwbsmdm this insanely cool person wants to befriend me???!!!?!???? i was shocked, to say the least. but toad is so so so cool!!!!!!!!! im exteemely flattered to be their first mutual and i hope i made a well first impression of how it feels to have a moot!! but v v v kind and sweet and respectful!! i feel v safe and welcome in their dms and theyre the coolest absolutely
@harbingerofheartbreak - yet another moment that i was shocked when she asked to be moots (man, i really am a fuckin loser, huh? /pos) honestly one of the most, if not the most, talented writer i know. the grammar they use is immaculate whilst also being still comprehensive,,, the way they show emotion is picture perfect,,,,,, and to say that way she writes stories to flow so well it blows me away is an understatement!!!! if they released a book id be the first to buy /hj,,, but aside from their amazing talent, they're also so so so sweet too! v supportive of others work, and wont hesitate to be the sweetest ever!!! aaaa i love em sm :)) <33 /p
@gh0st-b0ys - a huge issue i have w myself is that i often think im too annoying, by ghostly never made me feel like that. id post something absolutely idiotic, and still get happy when they would like it!! didnt matter what it was, as long as i get a like from them, everything is alright :)),,,, also they said that they idolized me?!?2!1?1?1??1?!3?1!!?2! wtf!?2!?!????????!1!1?! /pos waaa i cant express into words how happy that made me feel.... i idolize people all the time and to know that someone is like that towards me makes it sm easier to get out of bed. and even tho we havent had a lotta interaction between each other,,, i just wanna let em know that theyre insanely cool :Dd
@pebblebrainlovejoy - proud to say i watched them grow 💪💪💪💪 i feel like a proud older sibling whenever i see their blog. i remember seeing one of their newer works (cant remember what it was but at the time it only had like 2 notes) and i thought "this is actually amazing,, this persons gonna blow up, i swear." and they did!!!! and im so so so proud of them!!!!!1!!1 honestly, i love seeing their blog on my dash and it makes me the happiest whenever i do. absolutrly amazing writer as well!!! i respect them not only as a mutual vut as a writer definitely. cant even describe how happy their work makes me,.,,, like its amazing,, i would recommend it a thousand percent to people absolutely <33

heya so sorry i havent asked anything in a long while lifes been really hectic haha and i only rmb'd that i said id ask more after i saw ur latest mytol fic (oops....)
anyways it was a really beautiful fic !! i really like the way you write about uncle nearls grief and the way he and toland just go through it, one step at a time, but only when uncle is ready to move on and all. i just think its really neat man....
also on another thought i would love to hear more about ur oc (as always!) how do you think hed fare as a deployed operator tbh ? like putting him into ingame contexts such as uh trials of navigators/is2/sss settings, how do you think hed react? since technically such enemies are pretty... uhm, lets just say the power lvl in ak is cracked. yeah, so how do you think shealtiel would do ? im just curious to know more ww and i think putting them into ingame contexts are cool and fun (hehe) ps trials of navigators is.... i hate the ultimate trial and i hate mandragora i havent started ch 9 out of laziness but i hate her so much alr also wow this is a very long ask im very sorry haha i hope ur well <3
LMAO no please don't worry and take care of yourself! glad you liked the fic, i think grief is such an integral part of who mlynar is and how he interfaces with the world right now. think i made a post about that last night. he grieves for his brother and SIL so, so deeply, and you can see the through-line to why he's so against what his nieces are doing. he doesn't want to lose them, too.
as for my oc! shealtiel! i love him!
i think in terms of gameplay he would unfortunately be pretty niche, but niche in a way that i specifically enjoy, haha. i've said in response to another anon (unless that was you? dunno) that he would be my personal favorite archetype, the deadeye sniper, with a focus on debuffs/crowd control. fartooth is one of my favorite units (eternally glad i built her) and i think she doesn't get nearly enough credit for what she can do if set up correctly. i think shealtiel would need a functionality similar to fartooth's dodge ignore to see stronger use in things like IS and TFN, but in my experience, snipers fall off so hard in SSS that i see basically no way to legitimize any but the strongest of snipers (chalter, pozy.) i think that the funniest/ideal thing for his lore would be that he works very well as a counter to enemies and bosses like andoain, who rely on not being blocked and high dodge when he sets down the dodge field. since andoain is his mortal enemy (?) (questionable at best) it makes sense for him to be a concerted counter to these things. plus, the grappling rope arts i gave him just applies well to crowd control, and that would probably see the most effect on enemies that are unblocked/cannot be blocked.
i'm so sorry about mandra. she's suuuch an annoying boss sometimes. my pro tip is that in her second phase you can bait her into dropping the pillars on herself with a FRD or similar and the pillars deal her true damage. you can also bait her laser beam by dropping two ops on her. eg surtr + nearlter s2 where surtr baits the laser beam and nearlter does the real damage. or use ranged damage to keep her from having anything to attack (gg, pozy typewriter, my beloved fartooth although the last section of ultimate trial has very few fartooth lanes). hope this helps !
