Pmmm x alnst anon here lolllllz. I think I can kinda explain that what I think about who would be who. Warning that it's long. Here we go.

Ok sooo obviously mizisua is madohomu but it's a little hard to decide who would be madoka and who would be homura for a number of reasons. Apon first looks you might think that sua would be madoka and mizi would be homura because of the whole sacrificing thing+ that one piece of angel sua devil mizi official art buuuuuuut if you look deeper you'll realize that it doesn't really fit: the most noticable part is that mizi has pink hair and sua has black hair+ purple eyes . Mizis whole thing is that she was unaware of her worlds dark nature until her gf died which kindaaaaa defeats the whole thing about homura as opposed to sua who was generally always kinda sad because she knew what was gonna happen if she lost which isn't really something like madoka??? (Also. Mizi is shown to have a generally supportive alien family while sua is shown to have a neglectful one which kinda contracts the thing about homura basically being a Catholic orphan and madoka being the only character in the show to have a supportive AND alive family. Idk if you get it but yeah) anyways I still decided that mizi would be homura and sua would be madoka because of some other reasons but. Yeah. You kinda understand

Next up is ivantill kyosaya. While I can understand why you're not a big fan of kyosaya I actually think that they fit ivantill perfectly (sorta) because it's kinda obvious who would be who here: kyoko would be Till because of her overall aggressive nature BUUUUUT also because till crushing on mizi would kinda also fit homuras and kyokos relationship since kyoko is basically the only person that homura can always trust. sayaka would be Ivan because of the whole "longing for someone who doesn't love you back" thing+ some other reasons (thought Ivan sayaka having beef with sua madoka while being close friends with mizi homura doesn't. Rlly make sense so) Ivan being fated to death could also kinda add up the fact that sayaka witched out every time she became a magical girl. I think you kinda understand why

Sooo Mami is Luka for a number of reasons: both have a reasonable amount of yellow in their designs, both are (physically) the eldest of their groups both are kindaaaaa insane ect ect. It's also fitting because Luka being the "king" of the stage could also add up the thing about Mami being an experienced magical girl and being WAYYY too much in the whole thing. R5 could also be a parallel to the Mami vs homura gun fight (specifically the part where mizi beats the tar out of Luka) . The ONE difference between these 2 is that Mami genuinely feels remorse lol

Anddddd last but not least (drumrolllllllll).... Hitomi as Hyuna. YES I know this seems strange but I actually have multiple reasons to believe why this sorta fits??? First of all Hitomi never becomes a magical girl no matter what which kinda fits hyunas rebel thing. Also iirc Hitomi had a crush on homura in one of the timelines???? Which could kinda add up to the thing about Hyuna rescuing mizi In r5. I guess Issac and Dewey could be those 2 friends of madoka from the first episode but idk. Also since Hitomi doesn't rlly have any association with Mami Hyuluka is cut up from this au LOLLLLLL.

sorry If this seems stupid I stayed up late writing this because autism made me

interesting…! i am listening anon. i personally have some different beliefs but i generally agree

i also think that it’d be best to kind of put the pmmm characters in base-shapes of the alnst characters, BUT let them flourish from there. does that make sense?

i personally think madoka would be in mizi’s place, but i think madoka would be the one to die. and they’re not exactly the same characters, either; just similar enough? homura could be sua and live on and only feel anger at everything and everyone (after madoka dies, anyway). well, at least that’s how it’d work with a first or early-timeline homura. if it’s a homura from the later timelines, she would probably try to sacrifice herself, except madoka would still end up losing maybe? the scores are unfair sometimes

ACTUALLY i think that sayaka would be in till’s shoes (with a crush on madoka, or maybe even kyousuke if he’s in this au, and he possibly dies or something, and then sayaka herself despairs) while kyouko would be in ivan’s shoes (longing for sayaka). or maybe the other way around, like you said, just that the relationship dynamics are a bit different? does that make sense on my part? hmmm the more i think about it the more i want to switch them. that’s also the problem with constraining characters specifically but if you’d like i / we can work on this au to develop the characters and relationships more 👍

i’m glad u also see the mami luka thing tho!!! i definitely 100% agree there

i’m not entirely sure about hitomi hyuna but i’m willing to agree with u for now!!!

a big question tho is nagisa. bc she’s beloved by most of the fandom (albeit… in my opinion she is a little bit forgettable. forgive me, nagisa)

and don’t worry it’s not stupid!!!! if no one else indulges u i will. love listening to weirdass rambles even if i might have a different opinion

How do you come up with your sona designs? They're so cool and have such fun silhouettes!

thank you!! ! 💕 most of my sonas are just me, or me + some added features i think will help me fit into whichever universe i'm selfinserting into

but the sonas for looney tunes or lackadaisy were a little different because..... ..furries. body type aside, i had to think of how i wanted to translate the rest of me into a fox and a cat lmao

and that's kinda the gist of it, what i want or think will look nice, with inspiration taken from a lot of other stuff!

it appears to be a 'write a few sentences and then just stare at the draft for several minutes before clicking off to another tab, then coming back to start the process over again' kind of night :/

okay but Jure would be fucking gene wilder wonka cause he's chaotic as hell

nace would be charlie bucket cause i dunno wholesome and jan... jan would also be there.

Hahahah yAS x'D especially Jure as Gene Wilder Wonka - sign me up for that cross over x'D

I've had to start smearing my T gel onto my upper arms/shoulders (instead of my gut) because it has this horrible perfume compound in it and I can wash it off sooner this way. But I don't have any non-binder tanktops which means I've just had to roll up the sleeves on one of my shirts, and it's not going very well since they keep wanting to roll down. So I think it's time I finally did buy some tanktops and frown in defeat at the further Sol Badguy-ification of my wardrobe

YOU DID IT!!! SCRUFFY JEKYLL!!!! OMG!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

(i'm sorry if this sounds weird i have trouble expressing myself sometimes but i love it and i love you thank you so much)

I’m really glad to hear that you liked the drawing!!! You’re very welcome <3

And aw, it’s okay, I often have hard times expressing myself/my emotions in words as well. :)

kind of embarrassing but ive spent the last two days kind of going a bit insane over alexander and hephaestion . cringe

Sophisticated yet still random anon ask: so you cosplay as Cori a lot(luv it, by the by!). Why? Like, what about him captivates you/do you identify with most?

Thanks^^ Glad you like my cosplay<3

Before him I cosplayed Crowley (Good Omens) cause...that loser is pretty much me tbh.

Then Sandman came out and when I first saw Cori...Sorry, that was love at first sight!

First I couldn't put a finger on the 'why' but I have a few theories by now.

It's still incredibly funny to me that I fell so hard for him. Usually I see a character and be like "Lol, that one is literally me" like with Crowley or Jaskier. With him it was more a "I want him!"

Never had that before. My brother tends to make fun of me for simping so hard for him (all in good fun). I mean...I have a Cori-related tattoo and planning to get more, writing a fic about him that is over 80.000 words long and far from done, I got into drawing humans just so I could learn to draw him. He is such an inspiration!

Cori is a bitch, a badass and a loser. He is charming, he is dangerous and he has issues.

I never had a thing for blondes before him. Never considered myself a monsterfucker until I saw his eye-mouths and were like..."Ok, why is that so sexy?"

Plus I never considered myself 'hot' until I went blonde and cosplayed him. Don't get me wrong - I never thought of myself as ugly or anything. Just...not someone people would try to flirt with.

Being him gave me a lot of confidence I didn't knew I had in me.

I used to just be that rather shy, awkward and goofy guy and ~boom~ people did look very differently at me all of a sudden.

And I have to admit I might enjoy it a bit too much...

Hi :) favourite 2 era books? (im looking for some to read and you seem v knowledgeable about them lol) thank you :)

hey!! honestly I'm not sure that I'm super knowledgeable on two-era books?? I feel like there's a WHOLE bunch I haven't read. but I'll have a go!! & if anyone else wants to add on more recs then please do <33

the roundheads is my personal fav - it's a no-aliens historical with two, jamie, ben, and polly finding their way through 1600s london, & honestly the plot has always been secondary to the character moments crammed into it, especially with two and jamie. if you've ever seen people talking about them going to a frost fair, this is the book it's from. it's a good read as a whole but also for going back and reading specific cute/funny scenes imo

the wheel of ice is also good (though it does have two referring to jamie as 'boy', which. always throws me off every time I read it ngl gfdjskh). the overarching plot is pretty standard iirc, but again there's a bunch of cute moments (including some parental stuff with two and zoe), so it's a fun read!!

if you're just looking for stuff to read in general rather than new content specifically, I'd also recommend reading the target novelisations! they're not always perfect, and I find that they struggle with writing jamie a lot?? idk I find that some of them make him dumber and. hm. hypermasculine in a way he's not on screen, if that makes sense. but also sometimes they add a bunch of background detail to the stories and especially the secondary characters, which can be fun! like, iirc the underwater menace novelisation gives ara (the servant girl they befriend) a whole backstory with her father having opposed zaroff), which just adds a nice bit of depth to an otherwise pretty bare-bones character.

but in terms of written content my go-to is usually the big finish short trips books. which may be somewhat harder to find (I saved my copies literal years ago, so idk how available they are these days?), but definitely worth it if you can get hold of them! something about the format of short stories on specific topics seems to push them into being a lot more character-focused than some of the novels can be, and doing some interesting/thoughtful stuff. there's quite a few of them, though not all of them have two-era stories - some of the ones with the most memorable two-era stories for me are:

destination prague - my all-time favourite for personal reasons but also because I genuinely think the stories in this one SLAP. there's two two-era stories in here, both of which are probably 6b (in the sense that they're not explicit about it, but two and jamie are travelling alone, and I think thematically/character-wise they work best there). they both deal a lot with grief and how two in particular copes (or doesn't cope) with it. and they're super easy to read through a two/jamie lens if that's your thing!

the quality of leadership - jamie meets william wallace. what more do you need to know. slightly dubious historical content aside, this is a GREAT jamie character study, having him deal with meeting one of his heroes and being disappointed - imo it really gets into what jamie values and admires in people, and there's a Lot to get into there. there's also another two-era story in this (with jamie, ben, and polly) which I haven't read in ages but which I think has some really good ben and polly characterisation, so I've been meaning to reread!

life science - if you enjoy victoria, read. the. age. of. ambition. I am absolutely unable to be normal about this story I swear to god. just. the image of jamie being unable to shoot someone and victoria having to step in and do it for him. it's also got a bit of victoria backstory which is always fun

but there's a whole bunch of others!! ranging from 'two takes zoe to work at a soup kitchen over christmas' to 'jamie gets turned into a literal bear'. so, you know, probably something for everyone's taste.

back to actual novels for a second - I wouldn't necessarily recommend the indestructible man unless you're prepared for something REALLY heavy (like, 'this feels more like a dark au than a doctor who novel' sort of heavy). it occupies this weird space between 'this has so many two/jamie moments' and 'this needs to come with about 50 different trigger warnings'. but if you're into that sort of thing, it's there!! & I would not recommend combat rock at all, it's just. a racist sexist mess from the bits I've seen. absolutely not worth it

I suppose the one thing I really wanted that we never got was an episode for Mason, Hettie, Osran, and Vitimir to properly explore their personalities and how they might clash with their covens.

I wanted to see if Mason was confirmed as Matt and Steve's dad. I wanted to see Hettie be the creepy doctor the crew mentioned in the post hoots. I wanted to see what Vitimir had in that giant backpack box (prob a portable lab and ingredients). I wanted to know if Osran was either perceptive from always knowing the future or confused bc he was always looking into the future and never living in the present.

Out of all the missed plot points so far, this is what I wanted most because all the other characters have been explored at least once but these guys haven't and since they're head witches, they should have gotten time to shine.

Sorry I'll stop rambling about what could have been now.

So true especially since the coven heads we've seen all have some form of irony regarding their chosen field (ex. Raine having stage fright and Darius hating mess) and I would have loved to see the same concept applied to the other coven heads. Some are easy to imagine like Hettie being cruel but Vitmir? I have no idea what ironic thing about potions he could embody and I really wish we could have found out.

No need to apologize, I like rambles 😄

“Hey— if you keep going in that direction, you’ll bump into the pole!”

He had barely caught a glimpse of the woman wandering forward seemingly aimlessly and scrambled forward to grasp her arm in an attempt to pull her back safely before it spirals into an incident that would potentially result in injury for her. Haochen would feel terrible if he didn’t at least try to stop her before then as an obvious witness to it.

Do you have favorite actors for the various roles in "Cyrano de Bergerac"? I would love to hear your thoughts!

I do! I actually rambled a lot about this while I was watching the different productions I could get my hands on (I tagged it "Cyrano de Bergerac" and "I talk too much").

My favorite productions are the one with José Ferrer and the one with Benoit Solès, and those actors make the best Cyranos in my opinion. Though that's probably something in part beyond the actors' choice, their dynamic with their respective Roxane and Christian are the best ones, I think, and I find how Cyrano moves around these two particular characters at the core of a good Cyrano characterisation.

José Ferrer's use of his voice, which is arguably Cyrano's true most characteristic feature, is unmatched imo (although McAvoy does a very good job with this too), and he manauvers very well several of the different aspects of the character, such as his playfulness, his shittiness and longing. By the end of the play you believe he is the most beautiful man on Earth. Cyrano, however, is a bit pathetic (not just in a "pathos" way), and I'd say Ferrer gives off an air full of dignity very fitting of many scenes, but that eats almost entirely this aspect of Cyrano; Benoit Solès manages this very well, while also playing well with some of the other ones, such as the playfulness, the longing, the pain and the despair. Both Ferrer and Solès are hilarious, tender, a bit shitty, vulnerable, playful and sad. Albeit neither of them portrays 100% what Cyrano is, I think both come pretty close in slightly different flavours, and by the end of the play one ends up being terribly fond of them.

My favourite Roxane is Clara Huet in the production with Benoit Solès, but Mala Powers in the 1950 film is a close second. I think they portray wonderfully Roxane's spunk, and her mix of honest playful cheerfulness and her haughtiness, her intelligence and wit, and how much like Cyrano she is.

I've not come to love for now any Christian as much as I've loved Ferrer, Solès, Huet and Powers, but again I think the Christians in the 1950 film and the Solès productions are very very good. I love the dynamic they have with their Cyranos, especially the one Christian and Cyrano have in the 1950 film, enhanced positively by the added scenes (they actually work so well in showing their developing as friends, their deep love and care for each other!). I don't want to expand too much on this to avoid spoilers (beyond the already known 'Christian dies' ones I mean), but some things they do with both these Christians are a thing of genius, and both feel vulnerable, kind, ready to fight and truly desperate at times; I like when they do that.

There's an Italian production which has a Cyrano I truly enjoy as well, despite how they dumbify him more than I usually like my Christians. His mix of anger and deep pain when he discovers Cyrano's feelings for Roxane were so well made, and his physical presence makes you identify who Christian is even before the play starts.

The Podalydès production has two different Christians. The one in the version on youtube isn't bad, but @ride-a-dromedary likes Éric Ruf a lot. I actually adore him based on the clips and gifs she's posted of him, but I haven't been able to find the version with him online, so I can't know. But he truly seems one of the best. Based on what little I've seen, I love his intense gazes and subtle gestures.

I'm not entirely sold on any Le Bret, De Guiche or Ragueneau yet.

I think the German musical has a decent Ragueneau in vibes, and the 1990 French film does as well. I found his poem made song for what I think is a Spanish production (I'm not sure if it's a fan creation based on the Spanish production), and while I've not been able to find that production online, the song works well in vibes too I think.

The German musical's Le Bret in vibes is very good. He encompasses well his deep love and worry for Cyrano while also being done with his shit. They truly feel like close friends. The 1950 film kind of combines Gaston de Castel-Jaloux and Le Bret into one character, which sadly changes Le Bret's dynamic with Cyrano a bit, but that's a very good Le Bret as well. The one in Solès' production is pretty good too. He has my favourite delivery of the scene in which Le Bret chastises Cyrano for risking his life sending letters.

De Guiche is complicated. I think productions often make him too pathetic and laughable or too bad, so bad it makes the last act kind of not make sense. The 1950 one, the 1990 French one, the Kevin Kline one and the Solès one are all good, but I am not passionate for any of them either.

And basically that's it!

I love how you used Epel's Union groovy bc is one of the few groovies he's not sad/depressing/re thinking his life choices :,) I love seeing my boy so happy!!

yes yes, my exact reason for using his union groovy as his fic banner!! it's just so precious to see epel smiling so freely and looking like he's genuinely having fun without any constraints holding him back. like after seeing the despair in his ceremonial robes groovy, i just had to use a picture where our dear farmer boy was actually happyyyyy

also, when making his banner, i was debating between using his union groovy or his dorm uniform groovy but icing-covered epel won my heart lol

okay so im skolio and gynosexual but i dont particularly like the names of those so watch me come up with my own term and flag for it >:)

ooh fun!!!!

→ @fluxofthemouth said: "how was i supposed to know that ?" (surely Piter isn't grumpy bc a 14 yr old knew something he didn't...)

" Is it not your JOB as a mentat to know things? ", he challenged with the faux innocence only a nobleborn, who had been taught to pretend, to spread a sense of naivety around his person and who had knowledge far past his years, could manage. " But maybe this isn't the time to discuss how I learnt about it and rather the moment to DO something about it? Just a suggestion. " As much fun as it was to get the better of a mentat, especially one in the service of the Harkonnens, he had reason to genuinely worry for his family.

Of course everyone was expecting something to happen. With so many important people, so many POWERFUL people, in one room it was bound to attract opportunistic attacks by those who sought to destroy either houses and seize their powers. " You do have a plan for a situation like this, right? " Despite the control his mother had drilled into him, the hint of genuine concern over their situation managed to slip past him and betray the seriousness of the situation. He could only hope that would help MOTIVATE the other, prove that he had not just approached him to play games but to prevent disaster before his parents could ever even realise the danger they might be in and reluctantly, he had to admit he would not like the idea of the Harkonnens coming to harm either, as much as he despised them at times, death seemed like too harsh a punishment for them.

i saw a tiktok where this guy recounted how he got really sick from the flu and was delirious and sewed a toy of his dog , when he got better he realised the toy looked nothing like his dog but i personally thought it was really beautiful. i know theres some message there about making pure art in any state of mind and it being purely genuine but i cant write it properly. just thought youd like to know



Oh this is so so amazing.. tjankyou so much for sharing this :-)))
