Dagmara Dominczyk Filmography Review w/ Links
Dag has had a great career! I think you can see her shift towards more interesting and prestige projects as she gets older, especially in the past 5-ish years, which is really interesting.
Movies w/ her Polish accent have a ★ in the title, ♡ denote my favorites. If a movie isn't included, then I didn't want to watch it or couldn't find it lol. Additionally, I watched most of these projects on soap2day or flixxer!
Keeping the Faith -
I could not find her in this? I think she might be improperly labeled on IMDb. Please send reinforcements and watch this Ben Stiller/Edward Norton/Jenna Elfman religious romcom.
Third Watch - Accessible on Tubi
Procedural about first responders - Dag plays a morally dubious counselor that one of the EMTs gets the hots for. I actually beg everyone to watch this for a gorgeous shot of Dag over a voiceover "this chick is hot. if liz hurley and that other european chick who was in that one bond movie had a love child, this chick would be it" fair description!
Rock Star ★ -
Musical drama where Dag plays Tania, PR for a rock band and their resident hot girl. She's not in it a ton, but she's got a great scene where she gets to make out with Jennifer Aniston. Spoilers + transphobia CW - it's revealed midway that Tania is a trans woman, and while not really played for laughs, Mark Wahlberg's character is uncomfortable around her afterwards and she's effectively removed from the plot.
The Count of Monte Cristo ♡ - Free on Youtube hell yeah!
Dag plays Mercedes, the primarily love interest. She appears in the beginning scenes and after the 2/3 mark, but is pivotal to the plot. she's in some really gorgeous dresses and i assume the crew loved her because she looks fantastic the entire time. also, super great deleted scene here @ the 7 minute mark.
They - On youtube!
Unfortunately dull horror movie. Dag plays Terry, one of the adults experiencing night terrors based on childhood events. She only appears in a handful of scenes, but has a solo scene around the halfway point. It's alright?
SVU ★ - On Hulu and Peacock.
TW for CSA and graphic depictions of murder (its SVU).
we all know SVU. if you don't im sorry you've missed out on the epic highs and lows of watching people get the shit knocked out of them and for a detective to connect it back to some random man they knew in high school. Dag has a prominent guest episode role as Kate, appearing at the halfway mark as a Europol agent who helps one of the characters track down a child trafficker. A lot of her walking around gorgeously and what's frankly, a great performance! She plays sensitive but firm detective very well. On Hulu and Peacock. CSA tw- suggestive images are shown of an actress who was 19 at the time, but portrayed at 14.
Tough Luck ★ - On Tubi. Please watch it.
Honestly, I think worth the watch just for how weird it is. Dag plays Divana, the female lead and wife of a circus. owner. you read that right! there's a plot twist and i won't tell you what it is, but just know. i did not see it coming. On Tubi. Please watch it.
Bad Apple -
I'm not even sure what to say about this movie? Dag plays Gina in a crime (?) thriller. She's sprinkled throughout the movie and is the main love interest for some guy. I genuinely enjoyed this movie but I'd suggest watching it under the influence of something to maximize the viewing experience.
The Five People You Meet in Heaven - on vimeo
Religious made for TV movie set in the 1940s/50s. Dag plays Marguerite, the main character's wife and oh my god she is so pretty. she's so gorgeous and talented. what was i saying? its set in a boardwalk? okay. i'll even ignore the weird racist subplot with like. a genie. sometimes we have to pay the fucking bills okay.
24 - on Hulu.
Who the hell made this show up? 24 is a drama series where every season takes place in 24 hours and every episode is one hour of the day. Insane concept. Dag appears briefly as an evil lady - she's got a gun and looks great and wears some gorgeous earrings.
Trust the Man -
2000s romcom! Dag has a brief role as Pamela and goes on a date with one of the male leads, there's a follow up scene where they talk briefly. Not a lot of screen time, but you know. If you're in a bad romcom mood.
Mentor - on youtube
Dag has the lead female role as Julia, a graduate assistant who's romantically involved with an older writing professor. She is great in this, injecting a bunch of charisma into a fairly bland film.
Lonely Hearts - Warning for Jared Leto and moderate violence. Drama based on the real life murderers Martha Beck and Ray Fernandez - Dag plays Delphine, one of their victims. Dag is once again, a real talent and can truly transform what's on the page. She's got a brutal scene where she confesses her pregnancy to Salma Hayek that she executes perfectly. Also, she looks absolutely stellar in the 1940s styling. She appears around the 2/3 mark, which I recommend skipping to to minimize your Leto exposure.
Helena from the Wedding - On Pluto
Tangent time! My friends on discord and I made this horrific little fake movie universe called Going Down with all of our favorite middle aged actresses (including Dag and Melanie Lynskey). and who is in this? Melanie and Dag! They're paired together and have nice chemistry in this indie drama. It's pretty slow and they're scattered throughout the film, but I still recommend watching for Dag's microbangs.
Higher Ground ★ ♡ - on Roku.
Do not. ask me about this film. don't even bring it in my vicinity. Dag plays Annika, the best friend to Vera Farmiga's religious main character. Dag is fantastic, she's witty and charming to Vera's more demure character and they are super homoerotic. Like Tough Luck, I actually beg you to watch this.
The Good Wife ♡- On Amazon for free.
Lawyer procedural - Dag has a prominent guest role as a lawyer(?) for a South American company. Honestly she's not given much, but I love her suit. I mean, its the good wife, it's like pretty good.
Suits - On Netflix and Peacock
Dude this is the show Megan Markle is in? Huh? Anyways - Dag has a brief role as a woman who faced sexual discrimination in her workplace. She's only got 2 scenes, but she's like...there!
Felix the Painter -On Vimeo
A short film about a struggling artist, but more importantly, Dagmara looking stunning and speaking french. Go girls! On Vimeo
Person of Interest - Free on Amazon - TW for domestic violence
Dag plays a woman helped by the main characters in escaping her abusive husband. Not the most creative role ever, but Dag does well with the stuff she's given, especially in a really short timeframe.
The Immigrant ★ - On Pluto - TW for domestic violence and nudity. Dag has a minor role as Belva, one of the burlesque performers working for Joaquin Pheonix's character. She's only got three scenes, two in the beginning and one closer to the 2/3 mark, so not much to say, but a good film overall.
Jack Strong - On Tubi
A Polish drama featuring her husband Patrick Wilson, Dag plays a FBI agent going undercover in Poland during the Cold War. While Dag's role is fairly minor, her real life history as a Polish immigrant who fled to the US due to her father's political ties makes it worth the watch. It is, however, NUTS that she didn't actually get to play a pole. what the hell guys.
Boardwalk Empire - On HBO
Dag has a guest role as a drunk bar patron. She's engaging to watch and I mean, it's Boardwalk Empire. Worth the watch.
Let's Kill Ward's Wife - On Youtube A dark comedy film made with some of her friends and husband, Dag plays Ward's wife and does. guess what. get murdered! She's insufferable (but ngl I was on her character's side), which means she did her job well, but jesus. I could not stand this film.
The Deuce - On HBO
Dag's got a brief role as a. adult film consultant? and wears a pretty turtleneck and has curly hair in this 70s drama. This is where she met Maggie Gyllenhaal, who would go on to cast her in The Lost Daughter! Also, apparently Dag's scenes were heavily cut down in this episode :(
Abe - On Youtube
Dag plays ARIAN MOAYED's wife. It's a drama about a half Israeli, half Palestinian family. Unfortunatley, in light of Noah Schnapp's actions surrounding the genocide occuring in Palestine, I would suggest you not watch.
Prodigal Son ★- Free on the CW
Drama series! Dag has a small guest spot as an assassin called the Nightingale. She looks great and gets a fun fight sequence!
The Assistant - On HBO
Maybe this film was good? I don't know. I was hunting for Dag and she got ONE LINE at the VERY END. Mattmac jumpscare halfway in and his big sad horse eyes.
The Lost Daughter ♡ - On Netflix
Drama featuring the Olivia Colman! Dag plays Callie, pregnant sister in law to Dakota Johnson's character. I watched this movie when it came out and did not recognize Dag at all! She's scattered throughout and I barely understood this film, but, oh Dag. Her Jersey(?) accent was a beacon of light to my confusion.
We Own this City ♡ - On HBO- Warning for graphic violence and police brutality.
Biopic about the Baltimore Police Department's Gun Trace Task Force and the horrific corruption that took place. Dag has a supporting role as Erika, a FBI agent investigating the Task Force. Not a super prominent role since the show balances between flash backs and the investigation, but a well made show that's very worth the watch. She gets to play a flute.
The Accidental Wolf ★- I did not see this but Arian Moayed wrote and directed this? Succ supporting cast I love you! You can find Dag presenting Arian an AAM award here.
My Love Affair with Marriage ♡ ★
Dag plays the lead in this funky animated film about womanhood and marriage. Honestly on first watch it wasn't my favorite, but I've really come to love it's weird musical numbers and plot. Dag has a great vocal performance as Zelma, she really has some magnetic quality to her voice.
Succession ♡ ★- On HBO
Dag plays Karolina Novotney, head of Communications in this drama series. The show is a little slow and honestly not for me-- can you imagine. No, Succession is the series of all time and she plays THE Karolina Novotney, hot lesbian and resident man hater. Give me a scene where she isn't glaring Tom down. Go shivlina, go girls, I'm a fan. She delivers a fantastic and subtle performance, particularly in the fourth season. I love you Karolina Novotney.
Bottoms ♡♡♡♡♡- BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dag plays a milf
Priscilla ♡ - On HBO.
Dag plays Ann Beaulieu, Priscilla's mom. She's pretty wonderful in this as well and gets to show off such a wide range of emotions. I love anything period piecey and Priscilla is a greattt film that actually engages with the crazy power dynamic between Elvis and Priscilla. Love
Miller's Girl - On Netflix
This movie was nottt for me, BUT. I loveee Dag's character in this. She's a mean horny lady named Beatrice and I swear to god my mind was REWIRED hearing Dag say "Or are some cunts....remarkable?" Honestly blows everyone else out of the water since they're doing these godawful Tennessee accents.
Congrats if you made it to the end of this review! Feel free to message me or send an ask if you watch any of these.
#dagmara dominczyk#still need to watch hello tomorrow oops !#dag if you see this im sorry in advance i think you're awesome! i would not go thru ur entire filmography if i thought otherwise#terrified anytime someone has a tumblr#my posts

Genshin Characters with Injured Reader
Genre: Fluff, hurt/comfort (?) possibly
Warnings: Use of pet names. Strong language. Descriptions and mentions of blood/injury (nothing life threatening). Spoilers for Scaramouche’s story. Slightly suggestive for Venti’s, lmao sorry im biased.
Inspired by me being flung into a fence and scratching up my legs. How? Don’t ask, it’s embarrassing. I’m rewriting this cause TUMBLR DECIDED TO DELETE MY. FIRST. DRAFT. Also please note that i am very out of practice with writing. These characters may seem OOC but i promise you im trying my best to make them canon djnfjnds. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! I aim to get better to provide you all with high quality content. Let me know if you guys would like a part two!
Childe
Upon seeing you walking in with scratched up knees and hands, he’s secretly on high alert.
He hides it with his usual laid back and child-like persona
“Well well, what do we have here? Is my lovely babe injured? Come here, let me take care of you.” While giving you a cocky smile.
It doesn’t matter how much you protest, he’s going to bandage and clean them up
“Childe please, I’m not a toddler, I can take care of it myself.”
“I’m well aware that you can, but would you even get around to it?”
As he’s putting a bandage on them, he’ll ask you what happened.
“Would you like to tell me what happened? Oh- you fell? Was there anyone around? Why am I asking that question? What, am I not allowed to be curious” Cue him putting his hands on his hips while pouting
Childe doesn’t show it, but he’s highly paranoid about your safety anytime you’re not around him or someone he trusts.
The Fatui has a lot of enemies, especially him. He’s a bloodthirsty Harbinger, and the most front and center member of the Fatui to the public eye. Meaning you are also on display.
And while the mere mention of his name makes people fearful and tremble, there are a handful who simply don’t care and wish to hurt him with any means necessary.
So anytime you come back with something as small as a scratch, he instantly thinks it’s someone trying to get to him by going through you.
If it was an incident of you being clumsy and falling, he’ll lovingly lecture you about how you should be more careful while holding you close, mentally thanking the Tsarista that it wasn’t anyone targeting you.
But if it was someone, either on accident or on purpose.
Hahaha, pray for them
It’s better to be up front and tell him the truth, otherwise he won’t leave you alone till you tell him who and what happened. He knows when you’re lying. It’s a keen skill to have in his line of work.
While he admires that you’re trying to cover for someone, he admires getting revenge on your behalf way more.
He will interrogate you until you tell him who it was that dared put there hands on you.
But don’t worry, it won’t be like the interrogations he does for the Fatui, he loves you too much to do that. It’ll seem like a casual conversation.
He’ll act like he drops the subject before brewing you a cup of tea, giving you your favorite snack, and holding you close while you two talk.
He’ll get you to tell him who it was through a seemingly normal conversation. He’s good at doing that.
He won’t stop the conversation till he gets the answers he was looking for. Not that he would want to anyway, he absolutely adores talking to you. So really, it’s an added bonus.
Chongyun
Oh Chongyun, my sweet, sweet boy Chongyun
This man is instantly worrying
“What happened?! Are you okay?! Was it a demon?! Tell me where it is and I’ll take care of it. I’ll make sure it never touches you again!”
That last sentence is low key terrifying to you
Please reassure him that you’re okay and that it wasn’t a demon. It was just you being clumsy, that’s all!
He has to walk away for a moment and eat a popsicle to calm himself down before his Yang energy acts up.
Once he has calmed down, he’ll come back to you and sit you down to take care of you.
He’ll carefully clean it for you before bringing up a spray bottle
“I bought this in case either of us were in need of first aid. Baizhu said that it’s a no sting disinfectant spray.”
He sprays it. And it stings lmao.
“OW THAT HURTS YOU FUCKING LIAR”
“Ah! Wait I’m sorry, please! I promise he told me that it wasn’t supposed to burn!”
He’s instantly hugging you tightly while apologizing
“No Chongyun it’s okay, I’m sorry I didn’t mean that, I was just surprised.”
It’s a disaster lmao. He’s still mumbling apologies.
He has to eat a popsicle again fjjdr
He wants you to double, triple, quadruple confirm that it wasn’t a demon once you’re all cleaned up and bandaged
“Are you su-“
“Yes Chongyun, I’m positive! It was of my own clumsy volition to trip down the stairs.”
Once he’s finally calmed down and pushed away the thought that it was a demonic attack, he’s holding you close while carefully tracing the bandage
“Please, my dear, be more careful. I don’t want any harm to come to you.”
Scaramouche
As you walk in through the door with blood pouring down your head and legs, this man just stares at you
His eyes follow your every movement as you’re limping towards the kitchen to get the first aid kit
He doesn’t make a move, he’s just watching you, as if he’s analyzing you
It isn’t until you’re hissing in pain trying to get the first aid kit does he finally stand up and go towards you.
“Sit.”
“No, Scara, it’s fi-“
“I said sit” He pulls out a chair and pushes you to sit down in it. You don’t dare protest with the look that he’s giving you.
He huffs as he pulls out an alcoholic wipe to clean up your wounds, not caring about the hisses, whines, and protests your spewing out
“Quit your whining. What the hell happened to you?”
He won’t show it, but he’s concerned. He low key has the same fear that Childe has. Being an ex Fatui Harbinger doesn’t come without its dangers. Not only does he have enemies from being a Harbinger, but he has enemies within the Fatui as well since he took the Electro Archons Gnosis for himself.
But once you tell him that you just fell down the concrete stairs in Inazuma City, he’s scoffing at you
“How can you be so pathetic and clumsy?!”
He says as he forcefully pulls you into a hug
Don’t take anything he says too serious. He cares about you deeply and can only express it through tough love.
“Dont-…don’t do that every again.”
He won’t let you leave the house for a while after. Unlike Childe, he lets his paranoia take over just a little bit.
It’ll take some time to let you get back out of the house, but that doesn’t mean he’ll leave you 100% alone.
Venti
This man saw the accident happen first hand. He was playing his lyre in the courtyard of the cathedral. You just came back from your commissions and decided to go watch his performance. As you were walking around the crowd to get a better look at him, you weren’t paying attention to your surroundings. You guys made eye contact and he gave you his brightest smile. You were too focused on how elegantly he played and how adorable he looked that you didn’t notice the concrete pillar in front of you. As you smiled back and gave him a little wave, you comedically ran into the pillar
The anemo archon immediately stopped playing and ran over to you
“Windblume?! Are you okay?”
You rub your head, feeling the warm blood that’s gushing out of the cut along your temple
This man is instantly all over you, cupping your cheeks, checking you over for anything else before grabbing your hand and leading you back home
He’s thoroughly cleaning it while lightly scolding you
“As much as I admire you watching me perform, I want you to do so while standing in place next time.”
Once he makes sure youre 100% okay, he will flirt and tease you, that’s just how he is by nature
“Although, my precious Windblume, if you wished for my attention, all you had to do was ask. There was no need to go about such drastic measures.”
“Venti, I wasn’t-“
He’s putting a hand up to your lips while shushing you
“Now now Windblume, why don’t I show you how much worship this bard has to offer”
And who are you to say no to that 😏
Either way though, he’s going to cling onto you for a while to make sure you don’t hurt yourself further
He’s slightly scared you’ll injure yourself in a more serious manner
Can’t really blame him though. You’re the only one that saw him for him, even after finding out he was Lord Barbatos himself. You worship him as a mortal, not as an archon and he holds you dearly because of that.
You’re the only one he has truly ever loved in all his years of living. He just doesn’t want to have another Nameless Bard incident with you.
Please reassure him that nothing will happen to you. Please hold him close. In times of you getting hurt, he is in need of more comfort than you since his imagination loves to run wild.
He doesn’t have to worry for long. He’s the anemo archon, he realized. He forgets he is sometimes since he gets so wrapped up in his mortal façade. As the anemo archon, he can always have an eye on you with just the slightest breeze.
He gives you a soft kiss on the lips before dragging you to Angels Share for a drink or two in order to lighten the mood.
Xiao
Xiao is a little bit like Scaramouche, only more understanding and visibly caring.
He’ll scoff at you and roll his eyes all the while he’s checking up on you and making sure that youre okay
“I can’t believe you managed to get yourself injured. You mortals are so fragile….Are you hurt anywhere else? Who did this to you? Why didnt you call my name?”
It takes some convincing that “no, no one did this to me”, “no, I’m okay”, and “No, im not going to call your name over something as minor as a cut on my arm.”
He doesn’t buy the last statement. It doesn’t matter how big or small the situation or injury is, he wants you to call his name. He wants to know that youre able to rely on him.
Why did he have to date such a stubborn individual?
He keeps you in his lap and kisses your head while gently holding your injured arm.
He’s not one for physical touch most of the time, only when you’re hurt.
You joked about that one time and it didnt go well
“Wow. If I knew I would get cuddles and kisses like this, then I should get hurt more often.”
The look he gave was enough to shut you up and instantly retract your statement.
He’s stern while lecturing you. Practically demands that you call his name next time, even if it was just you tripping over a tree branch.
With anyone else, it would be annoying to have his name called out all the time. But if it’s from you? It’s a relief. Cause he knows that he’s protecting you.
This man has seen a thing or two, he knows the horrors the are out there that everyone else seems to be ignorant to.
If he could permanently stay by your side then he would, but he knows that’s not possible.
Yet it’s refreshing to know he’s only one shout away.
Please call his name when something happens, even if it’s only you stumbling a bit. He feels relieved to know he can be there for you so quickly for anything.

WIBTA if I stopped talking to someone freaking me out a little?
Last year, I (17M) was at a social event in my neighborhood and I saw someone there who I'd never met at one of those events before. I went over to say hi and we chatted for a while. She was really sweet and I'm a naturally friendly person (who is terrible at reading social cues, more on that later) so when she asked for my number, I didn't really think twice about it and we swapped numbers. Only after I left did I think “oh, wait.”
As I am a dumb Bisexual Idiot™, this is not the first time this has happened and every time it does, I fail to realize it until I've already given my number to whichever friendly individual whose flirting flew under my radar like Tom Cruise gliding under a bus on a motorcycle in a Mission Impossible movie.
She texted me pretty much right away, asking if I'd like to hang out anytime. This freaked me out a little, but she was really sweet when we first met so I thought to myself that maybe she does mean this totally platonically and I'm just reading too much into this.
So we found a time to meet up and - I’m, like, 75% sure she thought it was a date. It was really really awkward. Right before I headed home, she asked if I want to hang out again sometime soon, so I answered that I was really busy and didn't know when I'd be available (this was true, I'd hardly been able to find time to meet up with her that day in the first place).
Since then she's been texting me really really frequently, and pretty much every day she's asked when we can hang out again. I've been really busy recently as well, and I don't really want to meet her again. I haven't ghosted her but it kind of makes me uncomfortable to keep texting her, as she texts me constantly and it's freaking me out a little bit. However, I'm terrified of hurting people’s feelings in any way, and I don't want to hurt her.
So WIBTA if I stopped talking to her altogether? Or should I keep talking with her, because I'm sure she doesn't mean to be overbearing or creepy? I have no idea what to do. [tumblr].com please help a poor bisexual soul
What are these acronyms?

Grave robber head canons
He is gender fluid pansexual(yeah ,screw you Terrance,I’m making  your self insert character a part of the LGBTQA+)
Him and Amber are officially dating (screw Grilo shippers, y’all be nasty🤮)
After Nathan and Mags dies, Graves takes Shilo in under his wing and becomes her guardian and moves into the Wallace house and they form a sibling type bond
He LOOOOVES rats and will bring them into the house all the time
Has a pet one named Finley
But he’s absolutely TERRIFIED of bugs.
Shilo takes advantage of that and Will try to freak him out anytime she can with her bugs
No joke this girl ,while they were outside, and he was collecting Zydrate in a graveyard, picks up a massive spider and says “Graves, look what I got”
He turns around and screams as high as his naturally low voice can go and jumps on top of a tombstone with absolute terror on his face. Of course Shi find it absolutely hilarious that he screams so high, he’s screaming to put it down and stop messing around. 
“ you can work with dead people but you’re terrified of bugs?!  you’re kidding right?😀”
“KID, I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU DON’T PUT IT DOWN RIGHT NOW!”
Or he could be in the kitchen making food, and all the sudden a massive spider or beetle, or centipede crawls on the floor near him and he screams in pure terror and jumps on top of the cabinets or the fridge
He’s a heavy sleeper and nothing wakes him up once he’s knocked out.
SNORES SO LOUD(I saw this head canon from another Tumblr post but I don’t remember who😅)
Has the nastiest hair mats and it irks Amber so much
Amber could just cutely be playing with his hair and all of a sudden her fingers get stuck
“ have you never heard of a brush?!”
“ too much work to brush it”
Amber basically hold him down and brushes every single mat,knot,and tangle,out of his hair and even braids it
Likes to have his nails painted
They could just a simple black polish, to nail polish matching the current hair highlights he has
But he constantly has to redo it because they get chipped often
Expresses his gender identity and sexuality through his hair
Like one day he comes home ,goes to the bathroom with a bag full of hair dye and comes out with pansexual or gender fluid colors in his hair(actually I think that would look really good can someone please do that🥹)
is a tall person even without his boots on
he’s maybe 5’11 without his boots on and 6’0-6’1 With his boots on
Even after repo men are no longer around and genecops aren’t searching for grave robbers anymore(I believe that when Amber takes over that she makes a new policy where there’s no more Organ repossession and that Grave robbing is legal) he still yells graves at the top of his lungs in a graveyard just for the hell of it
Sometimes Shilo wakes up in the middle of the night from night terrors, and he runs in the room and hold her close to soothe her,and he softly hums or sings a tune to calm her down and Soothe her back to sleep(I mean this in a sibling/platonic way! Not a ship/romantic way! I’m trying to make that very clear that I do not ship these two!)
When Shilo’s hair starts growing back her hair starts looking like a Q-tip, so that’s exactly what he calls her
“ what are you up to,Q-tip ”
“ so my nickname went from kid to Q-tip?”
“ you look like a Q-tip😁”
Him and Shilo always have playful sibling banters, or will just argue over the stupidest stuff
“ so you think the earth is flat? Graves are you an idiot”
“Well on old maps it’s flat sooooo🤷♀️”
Likes to get in peoples face for absolutely no reason, just to try to start shit
Amber could be doing work in her office and all of a sudden he gets in her face
“ Babe what the fuck are you doing“
*stares in silence still in her face*
Amber gets absolutely pissed and he start laughing. 
So yeah that’s all I could think of for now and let me know if you want me to do another fandom or even other repo characters
Update: oh wow I was not expecting so many people to like these especially since this was just me writing as they went along. But I really appreciate it and it’s really cool to see that repo! Tumblr is still alive❤️🥲

the thing abt one of the most <3 solomon scenes being copied word for word for diavolo is just so. it's not even insane or unbelievable to me it's just extremely irritating like these are genuinely such wonderful characters in a wonderful setting how are the devs messing up on the writing bit THIS bad.
idm the fan service because like... otome game & all that but also that doesn't mean that they can't have a compelling plot and good writing to go with it????? especially in events like clearly they keep trying to include every single character and it just. doesn't work. and there are just SO MANY events too like if you're playing for non-plot purposes it's still so goddamn annoying because let the players breathe 😭
idk i just wish the writing quality in the game would improve at the very least. like it's fine if it's 'cringe' or wtv at least come up with original and decent plots instead of just repeating the same things over and over again yk?
sorry about the rant i've just been really pissed about this lately in the game 😭
oh my GOSH raaz solomon is the last person the obm devs haven't messed up (+ the new side characters, specifically mephistopheles) and i'm so terrified of the obm devs ruining him like they did everyone else...
in this new steampunk event, the locked route is SPECIFICALLY being catered for whales. unlocking the chapters was easy to build up to, but now you need 15 keys off the bat to continue, and i feel like it's heavily reflective of how indifferent the devs are towards actually doing their own characters justice. everything is meant to serve their whales, bring in more revenue, and sit comfortably even when they know they're angering their own fanbase by rubbing salt in the wound (i.e. making satan self-aware of his cat obsession, solomon outwardly expressing discomfort for the erasure of his humanity from other characters).
the devs are growing to completely disregard their own story, slapping together some fanservice in the main story when most of their fanbase can't even reach that point. why not serve your veterans & those who financially support you with consistent & cathartic story arcs? why not balance everyone, everything?
so i share your frustrations: obey me has been spiraling down in quality for a long time. i think that the last time i've been satisfied with the story was during season 2, when the fandom wasn't as big, and people were invested in figuring out what'll happen next because everything was cleverly panning out to a huge event: the dagger scene with lucifer. people didn't know what to make of simeon's play, and i remember when people theorized that the play would parallel a huge event near the end of the season... and we were right! and so many people were genuinely happy with the story being able to keep their interest and keep them on their toes.
now, there is a severe lack of anything reminiscent of holding anyone's interest, even the veterans, even me. i would woefully log onto tumblr as season 4's lessons rolled around every week, and would share everyone else's disappointment when we gradually accepted the fact that the story was easy to predict given how lazy the devs had become. i want them to take their time so badly, to give us quality over quantity, but with solmare now becoming so big with their new cash cow, obey me, compared to their previous cliche otome games, i think they've allowed the success to get to them.
thoughts of “it's an awful game, i hope no one plays it” and “it's a nice game to play, i can't wait to share my thoughts” are two things that can coexist, albeit shaped into something more along the lines of “it's a horrendous game that i can bond over with friends” once you find yourself being sucked deeper into it.
i don't think i'll stop playing anytime soon, because as i told someone in the past, “[it has] flavor in all of its terrible, atrocious glory”. i'm able to use concepts & ideas that the story gives me and, in my eyes, i get to make it better. i get to share my thoughts with like-minded people like you, and everyone jumps on the inspiration bandwagon. people bond over the same failures that makes us frustrated, and that's one of the few reasons i have any semblance of gratitude for obey me.

Cruz
To whoever is reading this: I hope whatever holiday you happen to celebrate this time of year is going fantastic for you! Best wishes, and Happy New Year!!!
I personally celebrate Christmas (and even if I didn't, gift-giving would still be my primary love language to friends and family), so I figured it would be fun to create a fanego as a present for my amazing buddy @sammys-magical-au! Just a little something to show my gratitude for all the times they've helped me brainstorm for my stories!
(I might try to do this for more of my Tumblr friends next year; I'll admit that this instance was kinda last-minute 😅)
So, since this character is for Sammy, he's obviously a LixianEgo
Cruz is basically my headcanon name for the character that Lixian voices in Late Night Mop. (I actually brought up the idea of making said character into an ego in an ask I sent to Sammy a while ago.)
When I watched the Let's Plays of LNM roll out, I grew attached to the theory that the whole last-minute cleaning job was actually just a trap/long-con to appease the demon that had been summoned.
So. . .yeah. Cruz may not be part of a cult, but he's still what most wannabe cultists like to pretend they are. As for why Cruz chose to make a hobby out of summoning horrific abominations. . .well, I'm not really sure, but I know he's not gonna explain himself anytime soon.
I won't say Cruz isn't a bit of a misanthropist, but he still knows how to interact with others. I.e., how to put on a personable facade in order to "make friends" until he's gained enough of their trust to lure them into his escapades. You can't just mingle with outer monstrosities without making a sacrifice or two, after all.
On the other side of the coin, Cruz has a shocking knack for taking mind-melting eldritch vibes in stride. Honestly, he's way more casual and collected when hanging out with atrocities against nature than he is around his fellow humans.
He's grown a decent collection of occult books/artifacts over the years. Most things in this collection have been acquired through less-than-legal means, because duh. Cruz has long-since learned to navigate the more paranormal side of the Dark Web/Black Market.
He's picked up several languages in order to translate for his projects. Some are human (such as Latin/Pig Latin). Others. . .not so much (the pronunciation is difficult for someone without multiple forked tongues, but Cruz is nothing if not a determined bastard, so he manages).
He's also musically-inclined (inspired by the fact that there's a violin hanging on the wall in LNM's master bedroom). The majority of summoning rituals don't require music, but he'll be over the moon whenever he manages to find one that does.
If LNM didn't make it obvious, Cruz isn't phased by gory stuff. Hell, the bloody mess in that game is small potatoes compared to some of the other offerings/rituals he's set up in the past (and in the future. . .😈)
That demon from LNM wasn't the first ungodly creature Cruz has summoned, and it certainly won't be the last, either. In fact, his latest schemes may or may not involve. . .ah, what's his name again? Oh yeah! The terrifying EldritchPlier himself, as well as Lunky and Co. (*cough-cough* Cruz has also probably entered a contract with my very own LeviathanPat on the side *cough-cough*)
Thanks to all the surreal shenanigans he's experienced, Cruz has developed a literal sixth sense. Though it takes concentration/mental strength, he can see/hear/feel/smell/taste all kinds of things that most people are better off not being aware of.
While Cruz operates with little regard for his own sanity or the well-being of other people, he still has enough morals to not sacrifice babies/kids.
Happy Holidays, Sammy!!! I know this isn't much, but I hope you like this guy! Please feel free to write about him whenever you want! (No pressure of course, but still!)
#happy holidays!!!#sammy's magical au#friendship#my characters#my writing#my fan egos#fanmade egos#cruz the semi-cultist#lixiantv#luis costa#lixianegos

I miss when there was some romance in sex instead of everyone here going straight to the cnc shit.
I cannot have these types of role plays anymore due to a horrific date that happened when I was 22. I'm still trying to recover and regain my sexuality and the confidence i once had.
Im not one to throw peoples kink in the sink, I just want everyone to understand that not every girl on tumblr wants to find that on here. Some of us just want to feel beautiful again. Idk. It's hard. I hate that I was violated and now intimacy and lust are powers I no longer can access anytime I want to.
I was triggered by my fucking tampon because I kinda had to force it in. Like. Fuck. Healing is beautiful but then you have to relive shit and just keeping working through it.
Some weeks, I'm feeling horny and ready to mingle, then someone has to go so far or aggressive right off the bat, and I'm terrified all over again. Regretting even trying to be my fun sexy self again.
SA is a prison I did not choose to be put in. Even if some days i still blame myself and feel the shame and the guilt. I still feel that I deserved it. But little by little, I'm healing. Talking about it.
If you're into cnc play that's rad and I'm happy for you but it's not me. So if you'd like to message me to seduce me, being r4pey and predatory will not be me into you. To any gender trying to hit me up. This isn't just toward the men in my inboxes.
Thanks for letting me be vulnerable. Ummmmm k bye.

So, I've been thinking about how I'm gonna handle myself in dsmp fandom from now on and stuff, and I think talking about it more instead of avoiding this might make the anxiety stomach ache go away finally. So. Here we go.
I have never been a big dteam follower in the first place. Yall already know that. I don't think much is going to change for now, depending on how things play out from here? But for right now, not much is gonna change other than like. I'm gonna be avoiding cdream stuff, which fucking sucks because he's such a good villain (can we ban gross people from having talent please.)
I'm primarily a Ranboo enjoyer, along with Tommy, Tubbo, and Wilbur, so nothing regarding my posting habits about them will change unless one of them does or says something stupid about this issue. I'm going to be deciding how I respond to what happens going forward quietly and not making big declarations about it because I just don't want to argue about this particular issue with randos.
Basically, I guess what I'm saying here is that I'm taking how I respond to this a day at a time and deciding how I handle it based on how things unfold going forward, rather than taking any kind of hard stance from the outset.
Like. Okay, full disclosure, and tw for discussion of online csa, but. This whole thing is incredibly complicated and sensitive for me because I was myself a victim of an older man in a community I was in taking advantage of me online when I was a teenager. But it's hard and complicated because, like... while this is only one creator out of a whole community, he's entwined himself so hard into everything that it's difficult to separate him from it, and my autistic hyperfixated brain is terrified by the thought of how things could change going forward or what this could mean for the community I've dedicated the past two years of my life to. And yes, it is much more important that this be handled appropriately and that justice is served, obviously-- all I'm saying here is that I can't help but feel incredibly anxious about what had been my source of comfort suddenly becoming a trigger or just... falling apart before it can conclude properly.
I don't want to discuss the issue itself directly because it's incredibly upsetting for me, and I hope yall understand. It isn't that I'm ignoring it, I promise, or that I don't care, but I have to look after myself and mind my own limits as someone who is also a victim of something like this and who has been feeling physically sick watching it unfold.
I might blacklist some terms on tumblr for a bit. Again, please understand that my not talking about current events isn't because I don't care, but it's a measure to protect myself and my own mental health, which is shaky at best lately anyway.
I love yall. I love the people I've met in this community, I love the story and characters and... most of the ccs still. I may zero in on certain ones for a bit, even more than usual, or I might just spend a whole lot of time away from tumblr in general for a while, because every time I check my dash currently my heart starts racing and my stomach hurts.
I'm sorry I can't come in with my usual fire about this one. I just don't have it in me. I'm tired of constantly feeling sick to my stomach and being unable to feel happy because I'm constantly anxious. I've gotta take care of myself, and making myself sick keeping track of each new development as it happens isn't helping anyone in the first place.
This got longer than I wanted it to. Sorry about that. Anyway, yall take care, and if you need me, feel free to @ me anytime or DM me. If you wanna, you can also DM me for my discord, which I'm on all the time. You guys are the best, and I hope you're taking care of yourselves as well through all this.

EVEN MORE SOULMATE AU HEADCANONS
Hiya! So, as promised, an Ouran High School Host Club Soulmate AU Headcanons for all 7 of the wonderful hosts! SO SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG I WAS DUMB AND FORGOT TUMBLR EXISTED!! So without further adieu, I hope you enjoy it!
Tamaki Suoh
The host king
And a bit full of himself
We love him anyways though
He knows he has a soulmate, and he fully believes that they’ll come to the host club
He doesn’t consider you being a commoner
Not till Haruhi mentioned one of her friends having a soulmate like him
“Huh, my friend is always talking about their soulmate, and you act a lot like them.”
Just an off hand comment
“Oh? Well where is this friend? Are they coming to the host club?”
“Tamaki-senpai.. They go to a public school.”
It hit him like a truck, maybe his soulmate wasn’t going to magically appear
“SOULMATE IS THAT TRUE!?”
Insert a very long sigh on your end, in the middle of Math class, really?
“Soulmate, I can’t hear what’s going on, you’ll have to be more specific.”
“YOU’RE A COMMONER!?”
...I’m gonna hit him
You didn’t answer him, thinking he’d take the hint that A) You’re busy and B) That was SO rude!
He didn’t, he kept on blabbering to you about how he didn’t even THINK his soulmate could be a commoner
Forget hitting, I’m going to make him regret being born
Yeah, you’re not a happy camper to say the least
When he’s in Haruhi’s neighborhood he specifically mentions that to you
“Oh, haha, whoops looks like I'm gone for the weekend white boy”
Nah, you’re holed up in your apartment begging for them to leave soon
At the mall
“Hey soulmate guess where-”
“I see you, you don’t see me, I’m r-u-n-n-i-n-g”
Emo corner Tamaki
Till he realizes you don’t know what he looks like
“HAHA! NICE TRY SOULMATE! YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT I LOOK LIKE!”
“Blonde hair, violet eyes, tall and lanky, lookin reeeeal out of place in a ‘commoner’ mall? I think I know”
Ah, back to the emo corner he goes
When you do finally meet, it’s because Kyoya had enough and personally invited you to the host club for a day
[Read: Bribed]
So you awkwardly walk up the steps, trying to figure out a map
And you get there, stopping in front of the door
Before getting an idea
Stepping to the side of the door
“Hey soulmate, I’m at the front gate-”
And you hear him scream in delight
Before seeing him zoom by you
That’s when you enter
“Y/N-chan, you are a terrible person”
“I know, it keeps me up at night”
When Tamaki does enter, looking very mopey and sad
All he hears is “By the way, I wasn’t at the gate”
His head snapped up so fast you’re worried it killed him
Until he leaps at you
“I KNEW YOU COULDN’T RESIST MY BEAUTY FOREVER SOULMATE!!”
You’re not being let go of, ANY time soon
Kyoya Ootori
deathnotedeathnotedeathnotedeathnote-
He is literally searching the globe for you
The family police force is constantly on the lookout for someone like you
And anytime you mention something new to Kyoya, he writes it down, then calls the chief of the search to tell them the new information
You can run, but you can’t hide forever
He will find you
Which is terrifying
He loves conversing with you
Literally THE highlight of his day
“The weather here sure is nice, isn’t it?”
“Mhmm! I am a bit scared to go outside though.”
Que his pen snapping as the club looks over at him in horror
“Oh? Why is that?”
“There’s men in S.W.A.T. uniforms, they seem to be looking for someone.”
Oh, it’s just the family police force-
Oh my god it’s his family police force
The most gleeful [and slightly terrifying] smile appears on his face
[The rest of the club are hiding behind a couch, watching]
He already has the force on the line, telling them to knock on nearby houses
When you open the door, it’s a bit of a stare off, before they grab you
Lots of kicking and screaming on your end
I haven’t done anything wrong!?
You haven’t, you’re just Kyoya’s soulmate, it’s my hc, it's how this works-
They just march up into the school per Kyoya's demand request
As soon as Kyoya sees you, he’s like
“Ah, Soulmate, how lovely to meet you in person!”
“I’m sorry, w h a t ?”
“Well you see, you’re my soulmate, it was only a matter of time-”
“So you resort to scaring the hell out of me and kidnapping me?”
“Now, when you put it like that-”
“You mean when I speak the truth of your actions?”
“I-”
“-would like to go home, maybe go back to my online classes, drink the rest of my tea? Thanks.”
Didn’t even give the man a chance
“Now hold on just a minute”
He’s a little annoyed, but also kind of impressed
“Walk and talk sweetheart, my teacher is gonna be pissed and YOU’RE explaining.”
Okay, that’s fair, he supposes
Kidnaped by private police force, meeting my soulmate, LIMO RIDE, is he flexing or is this his daily life!?
He admits, he’s showing off a tiny bit, but you’re his soulmate
Why wouldn’t he want to show off
he has to let you know he can support you!
Your teacher certainly likes him
by the end of the day you had an on campus pass
so you could continue your education from beside him
He’s not against bribery to get you to come onto campus
Clingy? Yes, he is, you’re not allowed to leave anymore
set in stone
No ifs, ands, or buts about it
Like stated earlier, you can run but you can’t hide forever
Way life is
Hikaru Hitachiin
Little devil no. 1
The first thing he did was ask for your clothing size
No! Wait! He’s not a pervert!!
He swears his mom is a seamstress!
I mean, he already matches with his brother, can you blame him for wanting to match with his soulmate too?
The need to match lowers after that first interaction for sure
[As soon as you meet it’s cranked back up to an 11 though]
He knows everything about you, er, what you let him know about you
Rough beginning, and you never fully trust him till you meet him in person because of it
He knows your favorite color
That you prefer one ice cream flavor over the other
Any odd hyperfixation you’ve had
He has a note app where he writes it down because he never wants to forget
He also really cares about your health, so whenever he sits down to eat, you’ll hear his voice ring in your head
“Have you eaten today?”
And it’s like, brunch for them or something and you’re like
“Are you.. Having a snack..?”
Cuz usually he asks you in the morning, noon, and evening, but now..
“What? No, it’s brunch silly!”
Why would his soulmate ask such a stupid question?
“Isn’t brunch a little outdated? Or like just a Sunday thing?”
“..wha?”
One brain cell between the twins, I’m telling you, and Kaoru doesn’t share
He actually leans over to him and asks why his soulmate said brunch was outdated or a Sunday thing
And Kaoru is so done with his brother because it’s the 5th time this week that he has to explain his soulmate is probably a commoner-
He most definitely has a bucket list for things he wants to do with/for you
He wants to make playlists based on how he feels when you first meet face to face
He wants to take you to concerts
He wants to dance with you in the rain
He wants to tell you the most corny pick up lines
He wants to wake up with you in his arms every morning
Yeah, he’s cliché, but he really doesn’t care
He likes talking with you, and is always really touched when you remember things he’s said
He was surprised the first time though
“You REMEMBER that!?”
“Well yeah, despite the.. Rough.. Beginning we had, you’re still my soulmate, why wouldn’t I remember things that happen in your life?”
QUE HIS HEART MELTING! HE CAN’T TAKE THIS LEVEL OF CARE!
It used to be just him and his brother, with an odd voice in his head, but now..
When the two of you meet, it’s probably through Haruhi, and he doesn’t realize it at first
You might have been waiting at her door when she was out for groceries
Might have seen the sleek black cars pull up
Might have heard your soulmate and his friends talk about the apartment complex
Oh boy, you milked the situation as much as you could
“Hey Haruhi! Who are your friends?”
Just really sweet and innocent at first
Whisper your plan in her ear, and honestly? She is so down, those twins got her into this mess, might as well make one of them suffer
“Hey there handsome~”
“Uh, I have a soulmate?”
“Why was that a question?”
He’s so confused, don’t you have a soulmate of your own? Why are you flirting with him?
He doesn’t know, and he has to awkwardly sit there until you say something that makes it click in his head
“Oh, by the way Haruhi, isn’t Brunch outdated? Or like, a Sunday thing?”
“IT’S YOU!?”
You’re cackling on the ground while Hikaru is registering that his soulmate was flirting with him
He turns so red, and he’s a ball of stutters
He’s not red, you’re red, and blind, and stupid-
Tsundere mode, activated
Kaoru Hitachiin
Little Devil no. 2
He also asked for your clothes size, but in a less creepy way
“Hey, my mom is a seamstress, you wanna match?”
He’s actually so cute
I wanna hug him
So bad
As stated previously, he and Hikaru share one brain cell, and it belongs to him, he doesn’t share
That being said, it’s only one brain cell
So while he’s not a creep, he is so very very oblivious
Like, you could give this boy a time and place
And he’ll just remind you that you needed to be there 5 minutes before
“Hey, you mentioned going to [Blank] Park at 12PM earlier, you should head out if you haven’t already”
“..I was inviting you in hopes that we could meet.”
“...OH! OH CRAP! HOLD ON!”
You could give this boy a full, detailed description of yourself
And he would only remember “Oh, they have [Color] hair.. I think..?”
Don’t get me wrong, he wants to meet you
Really, he does
And he remembers most of what you say or like
But when he gets nervous, anything you say goes in one ear, out the other
And he’s too embarrassed to ask again, afraid you’ll not like him
But he also completely forgets to give you a description of himself
So you’re sitting at a park, and all the sudden you watch him pass muttering about someone with [Wrong color] hair to someone on the phone?
You mutter a quick “You will not believe what I just saw” under your breath, fully ready to tell your soulmate about this confused, lost boy.
You see him pause, bidding goodbye to the person on the phone before saying “Yeah? What is it? I’m in the park by the way.”
Oh shit that’s your confused lost boy
So you decide, in a volume equal to his, to say
“Oh, there was this confused lost boy with salmon pink hair talking about a [Wrong color] haired person who just passed me.”
This boy whips his head around so fast, scanning for said wrong color, until your eyes meet and you wave with a smirk on your face
He sits down next to you, embarrassed
“Your hair is [Blank], not [Wrong color]”
“Yeah, pretty sure I told you that.”
He leans on you, whining
“I was nervous and forgot!”
He’s happy, ecstatic even, but so very, VERY embarrassed that he made a fool out of himself
God it’s adorable when he pouts
Please tease him, he’ll whine and complain, but it’s all in good fun
Get ready to meet his twin though now
Not even god can save you from Hikaru’s “Invasive dad mode”
“What college are you going to?”
“Are you gonna be able to support my brother?”
“You break his heart, nobody will find your body.”
R.I.P. You
Haruhi Fujioka
So frustrated with herself when she does realize it’s you
You, her neighbor
Who figured it out the week you both met
And has been patiently waiting for her to figure it out since
Also kind of mad at you for not telling her
But then you hit her with the
“I know you like figuring things out on your own, and don’t like help, so I just wanted you to be happy”
She’s mad, heart warmed and in love, but mostly mad
She gets over it though
Definitely figured it out when she got inducted into the Host Club
And you were oh so smug with her when she came by your flat to tell you
Kind of just clicked like
“Wait.. you knew this happened? I’ve only told-”
Pauses
Loading…
Blue screens
Then proceeds to hit you
“ALL THIS TIME!? AND YOU KNEW!?!?”
When she calms down and you stop laughing your guts into oblivion
You tell her that Ranka knew as well
Que her hitting the poor parent when they get home
The host club doesn’t realize that your her soulmate when you eventually do meet
Other than Kyoya
He knows everything
AKA Ranka totally told him
Probably asked you to join in with the genderswap episode to get Haruhi to stay in Ouran
Everyone else is like “Who’s that and why are they helping?”
Then Haruhi comes in like “Who the hell dragged my soulmate into this!?”
And since then you have known no peace
No really
You’ve become a bargaining chip of sorts
“I’m not doing it-”
“I’ll let [Name] on campus for a week”
“...I’m doing it”
Mitsukuni Haninozuka and Takashi Morinozuka
They’re a package deal shut up-
They weren’t too surprised that they were soulmates
They were more surprised to find that they were one of the very rare few to have a third soulmate
If you weren’t a baker or sweets lover before, you are now
Mitsukuni definitely has long winded conversations with you about different kinds of sweets
They both like to listen to you talk about how to prepare different dishes and deserts
Both have most definitely tried at least once to prepare something with you
Didn’t turn out how they imagined, but they tried
You probably started taking an interest in martial arts
Maybe not practicing or doing them, but you keep up with competitions and such
Takashi surprisingly speaks to you a lot, not necessarily about anything, but he enjoys talking to you
Customers at the host club are swooning and jealous, like, ‘where's my cute soulmate trio??’
Everyone is 100% convinced that when you meet you’ll bring the fluff and cute meter to 1 million
Also convinced that you’ll be in the host club
Mitsukuni and Takeshi know very different though
“Host club? Nah nah nah, Baking club? Hell yeah”
Baking extraordinaire
Would rather die than give people false hope or toy with their feelings
Like, you get why your soulmates do it, to make others happy
But you also know the repercussions
You’ve probably had to console one or both of them for feeling horrible about rejecting someone's feelings
Could never see yourself able to do such a thing
But also, you’re just not going to Ouran
You’re in Japan's top culinary school, you’re not downgrading to petty pink rich people school
[Mitsukuni definitely tried to convince you though]
[Takeshi did too, but more subtly]
Probably met when Ouran was holding some kind of baking competition with your school
And you were chosen to represent your school for the competition
And Mitsukuni dragged Takeshi to watch the showdown with the other hosts
They only realize that it’s you up there, competing against their school, when you begin muttering instructions to yourself, and they hear you speaking to them, but the person up there is doing the same thing-
Mitsukuni definitely had to be held back from jumping up there to see you
He was so pouty the whole time after that
Like, yes, he liked watching you work, but he wants to hold you more
Takeshi wants too as well, but knows it would distract you, and wants you to do well
They definitely had Mitsukuni come up to be a partial judge with the other judges
Until you state he’s one of your soulmates
Que the ENTIRETY of people watching shouting in surprise
And Takeshi and Mitsukuni both stated that, yes, they were their soulmate, but how did you know?
“You said you like sweets and were a part of Ourans Host Club Mitsukuni, and they announced you as ‘Ourans resident sweet loving Host’ It was kind of obvious”
Unofficial hostess/baker since that point
“Is [Name]-senpai coming around today?”
“Yeah! She’s bringing Persimmon Cookies today too!!”
I Hope you enjoyed reading the third set of Soulmate AU HC’s! If you would like to see any specific characters, don’t be afraid to leave a comment or submit an ask! I’ll be doing a fourth set later today/tomorrow, so be on the lookout! I hope you enjoyed reading!!!

well that went terribly.
normally i'd worry about airing out personal baggage on tumblr but i am so emotionally detached from these people that wow i don't care!
uhh so long story short my cousin is a cryptobro antivaxxer/antimasker and has been traipsing around in dubai/NY/LA/thailand at crypto conventions. my grandma and aunt are both extremely vulnerable, so when we found out that said cousin was still coming to christmas we decided he couldn’t come inside but if we socially distanced/masked up outside it would hopefully be ok thanks to everyone else having boosters. he decided he’d rather not come.
and uh. yeah. my mother found out about that and started an apocalyptic screamfest that devolved the entire night into a multi hour fight. because according to her, the media is lying, and all of us are equally at risk to him anyway, and obviously this is a personal affront and about politics actually. thanks ma
anyway at a moment when i could not fucking take it anymore because it was just going in circles, i stood up and like. yelled. for the first time ever, in my life, at my family (especially my mom, whom i am absolutely terrified to stand up to) saying we’re done because this isn’t going anywhere - the guy made his decision, and all they were doing was insulting each other at this point. for the next like ten minutes anytime someone said something unnecessarily inflammatory i pointed at them and said like “what did i JUST SAY. WE’RE DONE.”
and to my absolute fucking astonishment, they actually listened to me for what feels like the first time in my weary goddamn 23 years of existence.
and then my mom pulled me aside, alone away from my partner, once we got home to verbally shove me back down to my Place (aka being wrong, and sorry, and just an insolent child who doesn’t know anything and ruined the night) so you know,, ya win some ya lose some,,
#christmas cw#family cw#covid cw#negative /#TBD.#{ shit by bo burnham blasting in the bg }#{ some drama and dirty laundry for anyone who enjoys indulging in a good dramafest LMAO }#{ this is a gift for you }

Yeah I agree wholeheartedly! Hanako has done bad things, he’s a murderer for one and two, he legitimately locked nene up and decided to fight her and her friends to keep her in the fake world. Like I’m not hating on any character but sometimes it’s better to realize that Hanako and Tsukasa are children and that putting these huge expectations on Tsukasa because Hanako is “more mature” is so stupid. Tsukasa may be smart and calculating but every child genius is still, at their core, a literal kid. Sakura herself says that Tsukasa is a pure child whose kind in his own ways during the volume 16 relay interview (translated by DBS scans on tumblr) and people dismiss this because of Mitsuba like..
Yes, I understand disliking someone because they did something to your comfort character but taking it so far that any shipper is terrified of showing their ships because the fandom will give death threats? That’s not okay. Tsukasa is allowed to have relationships, especially when we realize that at the end of day, he’s a child. Children can be abusive, yes, but Iro has shown time and time again that Tsukasa is simply childish, stupid and childish and doing things for his benefit without thinking too much ahead. This fandom goes so hard on “Tsukasa has horrible relationships with everyone so any relationship he has is toxic” that it’s genuinely terrifying to talk to anyone in the fandom because as someone who was harassed constantly for simply shipping Tsukasa with Kou or Mitsuba, I have a huge distrust of this fandom
-Amane / Hanako has never hated tsukasa, he’s guilty about the murder
-Mitsuba has never stated he was scared of tsukasa, he says Tsukasa is scary, there’s a difference
-Tsukasa having no empathy does not make him a cruel monster. Autistic children have no empathy so by their logic, anyone whose autistic is also a monster? :/
-Kou attacked Tsukasa first, since then, Tsukasa has quite literally never landed a hand on kou of his own accord. It was always Kou rushing forward
-No one is saying him almost hurting nene is okay but considering Hanako locks her up and tries to decide every decision for her, I’m skeptical on this fandom’s view of “toxic” because Hanako’s actions are unhealthy but they aren’t calling them out
-At the end of the day, shipping Tsukasa shouldn’t be so bad that people are getting harassed over it because Tsukasa, even as a ghost has his core traits
•affection (his love for his brother)
•protectiveness (his hatred about no.3 picking on people)
•selfless actions (when has he ever done anything for himself that wasn’t rumor related? 🤔 plus, he does things for Mitsuba with no payment in return during hell of mirrors and after it)
•compassion (he has compassion and sympathy, literally look at anytime during the red arc where he stayed compassionate even with a demon hole inside of him; hell, if we look at ghost him, he shows his compassion for his friends in the broadcasting club in his own weird way)
•kindness (^ same as above)
•childishness (he’s literally a dumb 13 year old whose always excited and never thinks ahead of his actions)
Like, these are all traits Hanako has to but because Hanako is “helping”, Tsukasa’s traits get erased and all the fandom sees him as is this evil monster character when he’s literally… just a kid who was murdered because he tried to help his brother.
This fandom really needs to stop excluding Tsukasa from the fan base and also, sorry for this huge rant, I love the yugi Twins but it’s so sad when only one is seen as a “entirely good person” and the other is seen as a devilish monster who has no good in them
I am sorry for the late response!! I have been in exam season and I wanted to respond good when I did because I love your analysis!!
Exactly!! I feel like Hanako is often put in a pedestal when I think one of the things that is very emphasized in tbhk is that no character is 100% good nor bad, even the protagonists lie in this morally gray area and people need to realize that doesnt make them bad characters but just overall more human !! Tsukasa and Hanako were both kids when everything went down and I cant imagine the amount of trauma both of them had gone through to make them the way they both are. Thats why I also think we should get a spread focus on the broadcasting club members (specially Sakura because we know very little about her sadly ;w;) so that people can see the other side of the flip coin !!
And holy shit death threats?? Thats horrible and if someone is that pressed about a ship (again of course, as long as its something legal and within bounds) they should just block the tag or dont interact with shippers !! I know how shitty it feels to be put down because you prefer a certain pairing and I am so sorry if you had to go through that :(( And of course Tsukasa is allowed to have a healthy and happy ending too !! I think at the end of the day he is still a child and probably scared at heart and he is painted in this horrible toxic light that really isnt there. I try to stay a bit out of the tbhk fandom for this reasons because I have seen a lot of weird ships and takes that sexualize the kids too and its sad to see such a good franchise often get flooded with all this character hate and illegal shenanigans.
And I love this about your analysis and I hope others get to read it because it is very true!! There are even things here that I skipped over or didnt realize until you pointed them out and I always love reading this kinds of character analysis. I do think what you said at the end is very true and people tend to ignore the side of things when they make up their mind from the start when Hanako and Tsukasa are more alike than what most people tend to believe.
And nono dont apologize for the rant!! We love our rants in this household and I understand your frustration :(( Having one of your favorite characters being misinterpreted and tossed aside constantly by the fandom is a horrible feelings ;w;
#Again I am sorry for the late reply !!!! Life has been hectic ASDFGHJ and I didnt want to respond half assed#but this !!! Everything very trueee#can we stop hating on characters that are literal kids who have been traumatized by past experiences challenge ;w;#tbhk spoilers#tbhk#ask#tsukasa#hanako

HOLY HELLO Sketchy friends, followers, and fans! It's that time again, time for...
SHIPPY SATURDAY!
The heck is happening here? Here's an FAQ~
Wanna support the event? Here's my Ko-fi!
That's right, it's FINALLY the last Saturday of the month... and I've decided it's high time our Quotable prompt evolved into a Dialog prompt! This is gonna work a lot like previous Quote prompts, but with an extra twist, so please make sure you read the guidelines for a valid request before sending in!
ONWARDS!
To make a VALID Shippy Saturday request, please send me the following in an ASK to my ASKBOX:
The COUPLE you'd like me to sketch up
---- OC? Heck yes! Canon? Hell yeah! All characters welcome, so long as they're from Fallout
---- OC x OC? Cool! Canon x Canon? SWEET! OC x Canon? DAMN RIGHT.
The NUMBER of the dialog snippet you'd like me to art them saying
---- Got more than one favorite? You may list up to THREE in your ask, in order of preference, to help the artist avoid repeats <3
---- Still can't pick? Send in 'Dealer's Choice!' and the artist will pick one for you.... oooor possibly make up some fresh dialog on the spot ;3
What KIND OF RELATIONSHIP your couple has with each other
---- Romantic? Platonic? Professional? Familial? Rivals? Neighbors? Despite it's name, Shippy Saturday is about all kinds of human connections, not just the romantic ones!
---- Is your couple part of a larger OT3 or poly group? Tell me who else is part of the relationship; they probably won't get arted, but they might add their two cents to the scene from off-frame XD
IF YOU'RE SENDING IN AN OC!!
---- Send your request ask FIRST, without reference information
---- THEN send your OC's reference information to me via my Tumblr IM
---- Don't have any reference pictures, but you can type of a written description? Great! I love working from written descriptions! :D [ No, really, I do. Give them to me :D ]
After that, you can leave all the rest to me! :D [ I.e Please do not request poses or specific actions ]
Hokay? HOKAY! With all of that out of the way, let's get onto the dialog snippets! These are taken from various things I enjoy, as well as some of my own work. These quotes have been modified to gender neutral pronouns, to remove most proper nouns, and for brevity.
[ Some of these quotes have multiple speakers! That will be shown like this! "Speaker A" -- "Speaker B" ]
"Yeah, well, I'm a victim of circumstance" -- "... I thought you called it your pecker."
"Here, you look cold."
"You are so lucky I love you." -- "Damn right."
"You know the routine." -- "Yeah! WE do all the work, YOU get all the credit!"
"I want you with me, but... I'm scared." -- "Trust me. Trust me to take care of myself." -- "I trust you, it's the rest of the world I'm terrified of!"
"No breakfast?" -- "I did it yesterday-- bologna and beans, it's your turn." -- "No... It was eggs. I did eggs... over easy." -- "The hell you did! Bologna and beans, it's your turn!"
"I like the kind of person who can handle themselves... think on their feet."
"So you were ahead of me." -- "I don't know about ahead, but I've been behind you ever since you fried those mannequins."
"Don't make me say it out loud..." -- "... I can say it first, if that'll help."
"Nooooooope... five more minutes." -- "We were together all night." -- "Didn't count... I was sleepin'."
"Well, this is very serious" -- "IT IS!" -- "You, you destroyed a door." -- "Colonel, we're talking about a test on an armored vehicle, that will carry people into combat." -- "Right, but this door is property of--" -- "The shell barely penetrated the door." -- "okay, but now it's all bent out of shape. How are you gonna get it back on its hinges?" -- "I'LL BUY THE ARMY A NEW GODDAMN DOOR!"
"Sorry, I thought... I thought you were trying to buy something I'm not selling."
"I'm busy." -- "Too busy to look up?"
"You can't kill people just because you don't agree with them." -- "You see, that was the ONE point me and the doctors could never agree upon."
"Would you ever consider having a drink with an enlisted solider?" -- "Depends... does the enlisted soldier think I need one?" -- "What are they gonna do? Kick you out?"
"Thanks" -- "No problem, anytime."
"Yeah, yeah, laugh it up-- one day it's gonna happen to you. Someday someone is gonna ask you, who is it? And a face is gonna jump to the front of your mind, and it's gonna completely sandbag you... I can't wait to watch!"
[to a peacefully sleeping person ] -- "Good moring, Mx. ___, this is your wake-up call. Please move your ass."
"I say we run for it" -- "Running isn't a plan, runnin's what you do when a plan fails!"
"... Normal Illinois, is that on the map?" -- "Yes, Sergeant, it is." -- "... is it normal in Normal?" -- "... Uneventful, I think, is the word."
"Now-- how many brahmin does it take to make a stampede? Is it like... three or more? Is there a minimum speed?" -- "Wish a stampede up your ass."
"I don't mind being a secret of yours."
[Right after THE BIG FUCKING KISS] ".... let's not make it a year before the next one, okay?"
"If we were serious about money, we'd quit being hired hands--" -- "Handymen! We are han-dee-men." -- "Oh whatever! We'd quit this and go find some real money."
"Please... don't go where I can't follow."
"Alone is fine! I can do alone, it's worrying after them that's got me all wound up!" -- "Have you considered that's because alone is NOT FINE and you don't wanna do it anymore?" -- "---!!"
"This is not the first time you've been here." -- "We've been down this road before, that is correct." -- "Several times, in fact." -- "I hadn't been keeping count."
"And you must be ___, I've heard all about you." -- "I deny everything."
"First time I saw you? I thought to myself, that's the kind of person BRICK WALLS jump outta the way of." -- "Figured you'd be safer behind me rather than in front of me?" -- "Damn right."
"Just keep looking at that beautiful sky; that's the sky that'll be over our roof when we're done." -- "What if we don't finish the roof? Then we can look at the sky all the time."
"Yeah, well... maybe a friend is what I need right now."
"Next thing you know the Feds will be at our door; Sorry, time to move out, Eminent Domain." -- "Down honey, down."
"Even a heat-seeking missile can miss a target." -- "... you taped so many hot-plates to the test target you could fry an egg at 20 feet, and it STILL missed by a mile."
"My dear, my darling, love of my life...." -- "What do you want?"
"What I mean to say is... you make here a better place to be. For me. Easier. Does that make sense?"
"Calm down, you make it sound like a war." -- "What do you people have against being prepared?!"
"This is not just a report, it's a deadly weapon." -- "Sir, an M-16 is a deadly weapon. A report is just a pile of paper, unless you plan to inflict a lot of extremely vicious paper cuts."
"Stupid son of a bitch, knocked himself out cold..." -- "Cold my ass, he's dead."
"Y'know, in baseball, a guy who hits .400 is consider pretty damn great." -- "In baseball the losing team isn't killed by their opponents."
"Hey... I love you. Did I tell you that today?"

oh gosh i dont remember what was it exactly, but i will try my best :'D broadly my point was that i am an army, but i think that treating the draft as only a fandom war issue is kinda ghoulish, from both 'sides'. also, off the mark, bcs the politicians dicussing it are making a pragmatic politico-economical decision, not deciding if bts are korea's most specialest boys. wether or not someone personally likes bts shouldnt imo be a part of the discussion (certainly not as prominent part as it is)
first of all, thank you for going through the trouble of typing the first part again since tumblr was being a bitch.
okay so. before i say anything, i have to say that i hate the military. in any country. i would not lift one finger for my own and would do anything to keep it that way. that being said, i am generally also against the military service in korea. however. with how their ways currently are, there is no way they will get rid of it anytime soon, and frankly, i dont think bts has done anything that would be worth an exemption for. i was also an army once, so im not clueless about them. psy has done way more (even if gangnam style was more of luck that it blowed up like this), shinee has done it before them as well, and yet they still served. their current music doesn't even represent korea anymore since they are strongly appealing to the american audience now.
i am terrified of the thought of skz having to do their service, but it is what it is. everyone has to do it. bts should, too. it's the same what tessa said, if the fans are afraid that their faces will disappear during those two years then their fame was never real to begin with.
also i won't answer any more of these kind of asks unless its op anon giving me an answer to this (if you want to)

Not sure if you already talked about this. (I’m pretty sure you have) but someone seemed to notice that when the trio get into fights, Hermione’s always in the right. Even when she’s supposed to be wrong she always seems to be half right. That kind of bothers me. Especially since it’s evident in the whole Scabbers situation.
I have indeed, on Quora, so let’s move yet another answer of mine to Tumblr!
Hermione is seldom wrong in the Harry Potter books. Sometimes she makes mistakes but those mistakes are either completely swept under the rug or downright ignored.
It’s partly due to lazy writing and partly due to Rowling’s own growing bias in favour of her Author Avatar that was fuelled by Steve Kloves, the primary advocate of the Hermione Granger Is The Perfect Girl Ever line of thinking (an utterly ridiculous line of thinking mind you).
Lizo: Steve, Hermione is a character that you have said is one of your favorites. Has that made her easier to write?
Steve: Yeah, I mean, I like writing all three, but I've always loved writing Hermione. Because, I just, one, she's a tremendous character for a lot of reasons for a writer, which also is she can carry exposition in a wonderful way because you just assume she read it in a book. If I need to tell the audience something...
JKR: Absolutely right, I find that all the time in the book, if you need to tell your readers something just put it in her. There are only two characters that you can put it convincingly into their dialogue. One is Hermione, the other is Dumbledore. In both cases you accept, it's plausible that they have, well Dumbledore knows pretty much everything anyway, but that Hermione has read it somewhere. So, she's handy.
Now this, right here, is the exact core of the problem.
Rowling herself admits it: if she wants the readers to have information, she puts Hermione in the scene. Hermione is our primary means of exposition because, like *grits teeth* Sssssteve puts it, it’s easy to assume that she’s read about it somewhere and it makes sense.
That’s all well and good but at first, if you notice, Ron also gave us exposition about the wizarding world, mostly about its culture. He was able to recall the exact year of the Wizarding Confederation that outlawed dragon breeding in Philosopher’s Stone! He explained what were respectively a “Mudblood”, a “Squib”, and Parseltongue, Hermione doing a little exposition about the history of that last one! He was also able to identify Sirius, after being dragged into the Whomping Willow, as an Animagi!
But then Goblet of Fire happens and you can notice the first change that will exponentially grow through the books: instead of Ron, pureblood Ron, born-before-the-end-of-the-war Ron, lived-through-the-aftermath-of-the-war Ron, identifying the Dark Mark, it’s instead Hermione, muggleborn Hermione, lived-as-a-Muggle-for-most-of-her-life Hermione, has-no-idea-about-the-emotional-impact-of-the-Mark Hermione who looks terrified as the Dark Mark shoots into the sky!
And it only will get worse, by the end of the series, Hermione pretty much knows about everything the plot needs her to know, instead of having to work with things she knows but can’t always apply to the situation:
Suddenly has a deep knowledge of Magical Law (in the will of Dumbledore’s chapter, while we had Rufus Scrimgeour who could have provided it to us, or to a lesser extent, Ron could have explained how a wizarding will basically worked)
Is suddenly an expert at finding edible plants and mushrooms. Apparently books are always the goddamn answer in JKR’s world, you can literally learn anything from them
She can decipher all the Tales of Beedle the Bard (may I remind you that they were written in Runes, okay Hermione may have a few years of Ancient Runes education BUT I once tried to translate a 3k+ story I had written for fun, from French to English, which means I knew what the subtleties and intentions were, I knew which turns of phrase I had to preserve so it would make sense in the end, and it still took me two gruelling weeks to get a satisfying result!)
Has suddenly grown a sense of quick-thinking (escaping Xenophilius’ house, using the jinx to make Harry’s face weird-looking) despite it being the only remaining flaw she had at the time (remember when she turned her back on her enemy while he was still conscious just to compliment Harry, and almost died as a result, even though she had been training in the DA to learn how to fight Death Eaters?) Quick-thinking under pressure can be learned, but it takes time and a lot of work to force your brain to override its instinct - and it’s fine because we’re all human and different. But no suddenly Hermione is the Greatest Strategist Evah™ and those silly boys (who actually were the original quick-thinking ones, and one of them was established as the strategist early on) better be grateful for this literal goddess because she protects them from all harm with her superhuman brain.
Somehow knows about Quidditch stuff - she knows about a Snitch’s “memory-touch”. Why should she give all the answers? Why can’t Ron give us this particular tidbit of information?
And then when we come to something Ron actually knows, the damn narration itself goes “woah a book that Ron has read but Hermione hasn’t??? shocking!! incredible!! Ron is not dumb, somebody call the news channel”. But… is that really so surprising? We’ve never seen Hermione read wizarding fiction or even Muggle fiction. We’ve never seen Hermione with anything other than schoolbooks in her hands. Of course Ron has read books she hasn’t read since she doesn’t seem to read fiction at all!
Sorry, bit of a tangent over here.
There are only two characters that you can put it convincingly into their dialogue.
So, that’s one part of the problem: the fact that Rowling, after making Ron our insight into magical culture and Hermione our provider of knowledge, ended up saying “eh whatever I guess Hermione can tell us everything we gotta know because it’s more convenient for me”. Which is a decision that was not based on Hermione’s character, but simply lazy writing. Long story short, it probably went: “Could Ron explain this bit of trivia? Meh, better make Hermione say it cause she’ll have read it in a book. It’s convenient and I won’t need to bother myself with exploring Ron’s characterisation.”
(And thus completely forgetting that Ron could maybe ask his big brothers via owl and provide us with a good heap of extra advanced knowledge - Bill is supposed to have aced his NEWTs after all.)
The other part of the problem is quite simply that Hermione is more often than not, either painted as a victim by the narrative (which makes more people take her side, classic manipulation tactic), or made to be right anytime it’s about a plot point.
Hermione’s mistakes are never explicitly stated, corrected, or even pointed out as being unethical.
Hermione only gets one mistake expressedly pointed out as being a mistake: her misadventure in Polyjuice Potion. The rest of them? Even her crush on Lockhart can’t be counted as a mistake - people get crushes all the time, based solely on physical appearance, it’s not something awful or terrible (Except when it’s Ron who crushes on someone. Ron crushing on someone is absolutely forbidden, and he must be punished with much ridicule and humiliation if he thinks he can get away with not worshipping Hermione like the goddess she is. The nerve of him, really.).
Throughout the books Hermione eventually morphs into Rowling’s Powerful Angel of Vengeance, that punishes the people who dared to do something she disliked - Rita is silenced but at a very ethically dubious price; Marietta gets scarred for life because she was more loyal to her mother than to a bunch of people her friend insisted she hang out with; Umbridge is led to a very, very alarming fate that is never made clear but some people have ideas and they’re not all very kid-friendly; Ron first is “helped” without knowing it because Hermione can’t be bothered to have faith in his capabilities, then when he fails to dutifully reward her for “helping” him, she causes him bodily harm before actively bullying him for not mind-reading her interest in him; causes even more bodily harm to Ron because that’s how feminism works; etc.
Hermione’s mistakes are always justified through the plot itself (which is lazy writing).
Turning into a cat? Only affects her.
The Firebolt? Scabbers? Well, in the end, it was really sent by Sirius Black and Crookshanks really wasn’t the culprit. Therefore all the feelings that were hurt and all the trust lost are irrelevant because Hermione was right all along.
Trying to free the house-elves? Well, it’s the intent that counts, right? And we’re never told enough about house-elf lore to know whether they’re poor brainwashed victims or powerful Penate-like symbiotes who need to serve a wizard to survive?
Kidnapping Rita Skeeter, trapping her and blackmailing her? Rita may be one foul little beetle, but that’s going a bit far, isn’t it? Harry approves? Oh, well, I guess it’s okay then…? A main character can’t have a dubious morality, right?
Manipulating Harry into forming Dumbledore’s Army and forcing him to relive a traumatic event with the same woman she’s kidnapped and blackmail and that she knows he hates? In the end, it all works out for the best and Harry’s hurt feelings don’t matter since it’s all about the greater good.
Using the centaurs to get rid of Umbridge (which poses the highly distressing question of what did the centaurs do to her?), realizing that the centaurs aren’t nice little horsies that are going to gently obey her every orders like good Disney princess’ companions, my goodness could this be an opportunity for character growth - nevermind, here comes Grawp the Giant Ex Machina, saving her arse and protecting Hermione from all that scary possibility of introspection. Thanks, Grawp Ex Machina.
Trying to dissuade a highly stressed-out and irrational Harry from rescuing Sirius by telling him exactly what he needed not to hear, a.k.a. “you have a saving people-thing” which causes Harry to completely go bonkers and go save his godfather without thinking twice? Well she was right after all, it was a trap! Nevermind how mind-boggingly insenstive and inadept at dealing with someone else’s feelings she was being, she was right! That means it wasn’t Hermione’s mistake!… probably. (Geez, I’m sensing a pattern here…)
Endangering Cormac’s life (Confunding him WHILE HE’S ON HIS BROOM) to promote Ron’s success? Oh but that’s so romantic! (Yeaaaah, how romantic to display exactly how much faith you lack in your crush. Top it off with a broken neck and that’s a picture perfect first date!)
Assaulting Ron with magic and causing him even more scars than he already had? But he was being cold with her first, right? And he totally should have known she was asking him out! It’s not like her invitation was even worse than his attempt to ask her out two years earlier! Plus she’s just a teenage girl expressing her emotions, anyone who tries to find fault in this is a disgusting abusive misogynist pig! Ha!
Getting all jealous that Harry is better than her at Potions, then pretending she’s not jealous by claiming that TEH BOOK IS EVIL, HARRY, and giving him the cold shoulder too? But no, she’s right, look, Harry used Sectumsempra and he almost killed Draco, nevermind that he’s very horrified about it! Hermione was right, like she always is!
Hermione Obliviating her parents, which pulls her from the “ethically dubious” zone into the “wow okay I’m pretty sure that this counts as a violation of basic human rights” zone, makes her one of those quirky wizardfolk who have the privilege to control those simple-minded Muggles because it’s for the greater good? But nooo she’s crying about it so it’s obviously very sad and angsty and it shows her devotion to the cause!
Splinching Ron while fleeing from the Ministry? Eeeh, but he’s fine, they’ve got Dittany, he’s good as new!… blood loss? Anaemia? What’s that?
Hermione was wrong about the Deathly Hallows not existing? Um, um, that doesn’t matter, LOOK DOBBY IS DEAD AND HARRY IS BACK TO LOOKING FOR THE HORCRUXES!! Therefore Hermione was right, the Hallows weren’t important for their quest, therefore the Hallows might as well not exist, HERMIONE WAS RIGHT NO REALLY I’VE GOT RECEIPTS -
The books never forget to remind Harry and Ron of their own shortcomings and moments of weakness.
Harry’s wrath and recklessness cost Sirius his life. This is the lesson he has to learn from his entitled behaviour in OotP: actions have consequences, and the greater your responsibility, the greater the cost will be.
Ron’s envy and insecurity lead him astray; they’re used to humiliate, ridicule and torture him throughout the books. They’re supposed to teach him that he’s worth something - but how is he supposed to believe that, when nobody ever tells him he’s worth anything? When nobody ever apologizes to him? When his feelings are taken for granted over and over? When his two friends seem to discard him whenever he does one thing wrong?
Hermione is never punished. Hermione is never said to be wrong, never shown to be wrong, never called out on her behaviour. From Prisoner of Azkaban to mid-Deathly Hallows, she stays exactly the same character. She doesn’t grow up. She doesn’t learn. She doesn’t change. She has virtually no character arc.
The only time, THE ONLY TIME IN SEVEN BOOKS, the only time we have something remotely resembling a call-out of Hermione’s horrible behaviour is with this sole quote in HBP:
Harry was left to ponder in silence the depths to which girls would sink to get revenge.
Note how it’s about “girls” and not Hermione in particular, which implies that any girl would do what Hermione does to Ron. Thanks for the generalization, JKR, but I like to believe I’m actually a decent sort of person that doesn’t resort to petty cruelty and exploits my friends’ insecurities whenever I’m angry with them.
Hermione NEVER has to apologize.
Hermione NEVER has to learn from her mistakes because she’s always presented as a victim when she really isn’t.
Hermione NEVER develops into something more - she’s emotionally stuck at fourteen years old. Even less than that when you consider that her reaction to Ron’s return in Deathly Hallows is to trash him with her fists - and she was going to get her wand!! The utter psychopathic b- wanted TO THROW BIRDS AT HIM AGAIN!!! - and this reaction is an appropriate one for a four-years old girl, but certainly not for a supposedly “mature” seventeen-years old.
(Yes, because what separates a child from an adult is the ability to reign in your emotions and not succumb to your impulses. Exactly what Ron did when he left the tent (notice that he had drawn his wand, then he left before he could start hexing Harry), he left to calm himself down. Exactly what Hermione fails to do when Ron returns (she has the impulse to strike him and immediately succumbs to it, which proves to us that The Brightest Witch Of Her Age has all the maturity of a very small child).)
All of that, on top of the awful portrayal in the movies which removes all of Ron’s characteristics to stuff them into Hermione and turns her into some impossible epitome of perfection, eventually contributed to the portrayal of Hermione as the one who is always right and knows everything.
Add to it JKR’s own ridiculous bias (“Ron was quite emotionally immature compared to the other two”, yeah right I don’t see him trying to force freedom onto unwilling creatures or making Harry fly into an irrational rage with mere words but you do you, Jo) and the sexist misconception that “girls are innately more mature than boys”, and you get yourself this apparent behemoth of righteousness that was literally the sole reason why those two silly boys survived everything, and don’t you dare criticize this angel of perfection OR ELSE.

The Solution To Everything(Is Hair Dye)
Note: Human AU! First time posting writing on tumblr lmao, and I wanted to try a bit of a different writing style... so there’s that.
Just a little writing practice paired with Marellinh fluff n kinda angst ig :)
Word count: uhhh i went overboard
Blurb: Linh is lonely, with no one in the world left by her side, hurt, by all that she’s lost, and possibly has an ever-so-slight crush on her elusive blonde neighbor. Marella needs someone to dye her hair within the day, and Linh happens to have exactly what she needs, in more ways than one.
When Linh wakes late in the night, startled from her dozing state on the couch in her dimly lit living room to the sound of persistent knocking, she certainly doesn’t expect to find the blonde neighbor she’s been inconspicuously watching— she’s still trying to convince herself that casually watching the girl enter her house anytime she got the chance wasn’t stalking— for the past three weeks since she moved in next door to be on the other side. And when the panting girl in front of her sucks in a breath, Linh definitely doesn’t expect the words that spill from her lips—
“Can you dye my hair?”
Linh blinks with bewilderment, still trying to process that the girl is here, on her doorstep. Not to mention really, really pretty. Annoyingly so, to the point where Linh’s tired brain has to avert her eyes to focus on forcing her mouth to form words.
“What?”
The girl smiles apologetically, and suddenly Linh’s throat feels dry. The girl’s beauty is much more manageable from a distance, through subtle glances out of the corner of her eye across the hall.
“My roomates— screw them— dared me to dye my hair bright green by tomorrow. I lost a bet.” She looks away. “And you have green hair dye, so...”
Linh stares dumbly, trying to puzzle out how to respond to such a random, odd request. Though she moved into the apartment complex almost a month ago and her maybe sort of possible little crush lives just next door, her mind is still trying to register the fact that they have finally crossed paths. And the girl has come to her, no less.
“How do you know I have hair dye?” The hair dye is something she’s gotten to send to Tam. The silver in his hair is something he kept in long after she cut it off and cut off their parents. He still hangs on, and Linh wants to change that, even if they haven’t spoken in a year. She isn’t going to send it though, she knows. She always chickens out. Her brother’s silence for the past year isn’t easy to face. Still, she buys brightly-colored dyes frequently on the off chance that a lightning strike of confidence will hit her. It hasn’t happened yet, but it’s a comforting routine anyway.
The girl blushes, scratching the back of her neck bashfully and shifting from foot to foot. The movement draws Linh’s eyes to her shoes. They’re ratty sneakers, and upon closer inspection, it looks like there are messy, multi-colored words scribbled all over the sides. The weird shoes match the long, tacky rainbow socks that go up to her knees and the bright, tie-dye, too big sweater draped over her surprisingly small frame, with black leggings to top off the outfit underneath.
“Well, I saw you coming back in from the supermarket yesterday and there was a box of green hair dye poking out of the bags...” she trails off. “Oh my god. I sound like a stalker, don’t I? I swear I’m not.”
Linh can’t help the delirious, sleep-deprived giggle that escapes at the words. It’s ridiculous to her, that the girl she’s been following and observing as subtly as humanly possible because she’s just so pretty and Linh wants to know everything is the one worrying about being a creep.
The girl grins at her laughter, the question still burning in her eyes, which are an even brighter shade of blue than Linh realized up close.
She clicks her phone on, checking the time discreetly. It’s late, nearly midnight. The hair dye takes at least an hour, most likely more, to finish. She has an exam at nine the next day that she still hasn’t studied for and she hasn’t yet messaged Tam for her daily one-sided check-in that he never responds to, or even reads.
She looks back up at the girl with thin braids threaded through thick, golden locks, framing beautiful ice blue eyes set in a still blushing face, waiting for her at her doorstep with an open gaze and just maybe, an open mind.
Her stupid, fluttering heart makes a decision before her rational mind can catch up.
“Come on in.”

The girl, who introduces herself as Marella, asks her if she’s always so quiet.
Linh snorts, resisting the urge to point out that Marella is the one invading the house of a relative stranger in the middle of the night. Of course, there’s also the fact that she let her, and that isn’t even considering how flustered the blonde makes her. Especially in such close proximity, where she can smell the faint lavender wafting off her hair. Linh never would have pegged her for a lavender girl.
And when she leans closer to touch up the roots again, she realizes that Marella smells of something spicy. It’s good, comforting, like the home-cooked meals made with love that Linh only ever got to experience in other people’s houses because hers never truly felt like home, or the smell of wood when it was burned in a desperate attempt to keep the warmth in the winter because woolen hats and group hugs were never quite enough to warm everyone’s toes.
Linh has to remind herself to keep working her fingers through the hair.
-ˋˏ *.·:·.⟐.·:·.* ˎˊ-
Linh is thankful when the summer sun finally leaks away and is replaced by autumn wind. There’s something calming about the crisp air blowing through the hair that escapes from tightly-zipped thin hoodies and the leaves bleeding red and gold. She much prefers it to the heat of the summer, or the harshness of winter, the temperatures of which she can never quite escape from completely.
When she pulls open the doors to a nearby cafe and lets the smell of warmth and caffeine wash over her face, and falls into line to order, she isn’t expecting to be behind a girl with a mane of blonde hair that’s streaked through with bright green that hurt the eyes and small braids that sway when she shifts. And Linh’s weeks of watching from a distance pay off— and the hard-to-ignore green certainly helps— because she recognizes the girl immediately.
It’s Marella, sporting the new, significantly greener look that she gained by Linh’s own hands. Linh blushes at the reminder of the night weeks ago. She’s surprised to find that it was the first time she’s seen the girl since their unintentional night together. She’s been so occupied with settling in, getting organized, figuring out independence, and attempting to reach out to her absentee brother, that she hasn’t even noticed the girl’s absence. It seems her creeper skills have gotten rusty, which should make her happy but instead causes the barest amounts of disappointment to creep up. Even from afar, Marella is lively and brightens, or at least eases, the monotonous days that all seem to bleed into each other in one eternal, never-ending passage of pain.
“Hey!” Marella’s voice jolts Linh from her thoughts. “Nice to see you here!”
“H-Hi!” Linh stutters. She thinks the girl’s impossibly blue, intent gaze will always catch her off guard.
Her gaze shifts to the green in Marella’s hair, the harsh coloring softened by the sunlight streaming in through the windows of the cafe and bouncing off the bright strands.
“Your hair looks nice.”
Marella touches a hand to her neon green-streaked look and smirks. “All thanks to you.”
Linh’s cheeks warm at the praise. By the time they reach the orders taken down, Marella has somehow convinced Linh to sit and drink with her. She takes Linh’s wrist lightly and guides her to a table, an action that makes Linh’s face heat again. She looks down at the thin fingers encircling her arm to make sure she isn’t dreaming, and is elated to find that she isn’t.
And sitting in that booth, sipping their warm coffees and exchanging even warmer smiles, Linh’s romantic fantasies from afar suddenly seem a lot closer than she ever thought possible.
-ˋˏ *.·:·.⟐.·:·.* ˎˊ-
Linh isn’t sure exactly how she’s gone from watching her neighbor from a(very far) distance to being dragged into her unfamiliar apartment to be introduced to her roommates, but she can’t say she’s complaining.
As nerve-wracking as it is to be inside Marella’s house, she has to admit that the chance of pace from routine is something she would have been too scared to do herself. Had Marella not knocked on her door and practically shoved her out of her own with an evil grin on her face and into the girl’s shared one just minutes before, she might have stayed holed up in her own apartment forever, seldom leaving and only ever for basic necessities.
Patterns are nice, reliable, and most of all, consistent, something that Linh has never had before, and up until a year ago, had given up on attaining, but there’s something undeniably exciting about throwing caution to the wind and launching herself into a new situation.
However, there is the slight problem of said new situation happening to be making a good impression on her crush’s roommates, who are all staring down at her stoically in a solid line of four with their arms crossed and their gazes narrowed. It reminds Linh of the stereotypical movie tropes in which the overprotective dad interrogates the unnecessarily perfect Mary Sue’s new boyfriend when she brings him home for the first time, and she has to force herself not to laugh in the faces of the people glaring down at her. They’re all at least half a head taller than her, excluding the brunette girl, who has the most terrifying expression of them all on her face.
Three hours later, Linh is laughing tears of joy and drinking hot cocoa with whipped cream and cinnamon with the scary roommates in their warmly lit, cozy living room, who’s first impression couldn’t have been more wrong.
The scary-looking brunette girl isn’t actually one of Marella’s roommates, instead living with the other brunette, her brother, at home with their parents. Her name is Biana, she has an attachment to the color purple that everyone else seems to make fun of her for, and an affinity for randomly throwing out the others’ clothes and replacing them with ones she deems good enough to be seen out with.
Her brother, who’s name is Fitzroy— everyone teases him about this— is better known as Fitz. He is smart, put-together, and as Marella refers to him, their group’s resident “tired dad”. He’s dating Dex, the nerdy but sarcastic actual roommate of Marella.
Then there is Sophie, who was in the kitchen when Linh first came in, and Keefe, the former being Dex’s cousin and Marella’s second roommate who is constantly done with everyone’s shenanigans; Marella claims that Fitz, the actually responsible one, can never be bothered to do anything about their spontaneous endeavors most of the time. The latter, on the other hand, is the most mischievous of the bunch who Linh also knows the least about. His smiles and grins are the most abundant, but also the most weighted. Linh suspects there is a lot more to him than she’ll ever be able to fully grasp.
Linh’s surprised with how well she fits in with these people. They seem so much lighter and freer than her, a girl still tainted and chained down by the past and the experiences that came with it. They welcome her with open arms, and hours later, when dusk falls and it’s time for her to leave, the wrap her up in a hug and make her swear she’ll come back .She sinks into the hug, thinking that after knowing their light, she can’t possibly stay away.
Linh will forever owe all this new warmth in her life to Marella, who is perhaps the warmest of them all.
-ˋˏ *.·:·.⟐.·:·.* ˎˊ-
Fluffy blankets are good. Warm, cozy, comfortable, the kind of little thing in life that makes most people feel fuzzy feelings of nostalgia as they think back to the times they wrapped themselves up in warm blankets on the days they were feeling overwhelmed by the world, when they sat in messily-built blanket forts with their best friends and told scary stories during the devil’s hour with only a flashlight illuminating their evil grins, or the fights with their siblings to get the bigger portion of the blanket when they were forced to share a bed.
Unless that person is Linh, in which case all chances of that were stripped away by a pressured childhood where no room felt safe when her parents were near, friends were disapproved of, and anything that could knock the Song family from the top was discarded before either of the children could protest.
But whether it’s a childhood like Linh’s, or one where everything went perfectly, the fact can generally be agreed on: fluffy blankets are a good, good thing.
But Linh doesn’t think she was ever aware just how perfect fluffy blankets can be until they came piled in the arms of a blonde girl with tiny braids and green threaded through her waves at the door.
“Movie night?” Marella asks, wiggling a laptop in her other hand. “I noticed that you don’t have a TV yet.”
Linh lets her in, eager to spend more time with just her and especially eager to share another night with just the two of them. The idea of being in a dimly lit room wrapped in blankets with their bodies pressed together and only the light of a screen illuminating their faces doesn’t hurt either.
They curl up together on the couch without a second thought, as if they’ve been doing so all their lives. Linh adores the way Marella’s head fits in the crook of her neck like the last missing piece of a puzzle, and holds her breath as the blonde reaches across her and presses play on Netflix once they’ve settled.
When the girl falls asleep on Linh’s shoulder an hour later, she cuddles closer to the warmth of the fluffy blanket and her— crush, or love, maybe, she doesn’t know— pressing to her side.
-ˋˏ *.·:·.⟐.·:·.* ˎˊ-
As nice of a distraction as Marella and her strange roommates can be in the months that pass, Linh has to come crashing back down to reality at some point. And crash she does, when the banging on her door at nine o’clock at night opens to the face she knows as well as her own.
Her brother, approaching her for the first time in years, bringing nothing but news of their father’s death.
Linh knows she should be feeling something. That she should be falling to her knees and sobbing dramatically, like a protagonist in a drama novel, or maybe grabbing his hands and begging him to tell her that it isn’t true. Instead, when Tam bears the news, all she can do is match his emotionless expression. After all, what is there to feel?
And why is she in such desperate need of comfort when, truth be told, she feels no suffering?
She can’t explain her mind’s twisted way of thinking, but she does know that it’s what leads her next door, and what pushes her to throw her arms around Marella’s neck when she comes to the door decked in pajamas and those long, irritating rainbow-striped socks that she loves so much.
Linh likes to believe that it’s her petty grudge against the annoying socks that makes her cry on Marella’s shoulder that night, but hiding from the truth isn’t as easy as she likes to believe.
And when Marella wraps her in a fuzzy blanket that rains tufts of fine fluff on their heads and pulls her in close, Linh has a hard time believing fluffy blankets aren’t the answer to all the world’s problems.
Confidence has finally come to her, and she’s able to give Tam a box of hair dye before he leaves. She doesn’t know if he’ll use it, or when she’ll see him again, but the smallest spark of light in his eyes when he takes the dye and turns it over in his hand is enough hope for her.
-ˋˏ *.·:·.⟐.·:·.* ˎˊ-
When Marella appears at her door in the middle of the night this time, weeks since Linh’s father died and they last saw each other, Linh is surprised that she isn’t surprised. After all, surely there’s something seriously wrong if the only thing she says when someone comes knocking at her door at exactly three minutes past midnight is, “Did you bring the hair dye?”
She pulls the blonde inside softly, takes the fuzzy blanket still draped on her couch from their movie night, and wraps it around the girl’s shivering frame. Marella starts to sob on her shoulder. Her fingers wrap around Linh’s neck and latch onto her, bringing them both down to the carpet when her knees give. Linh immediately wraps an arm around her and holds her close.
Linh doesn’t know what’s wrong, but she does know that Marella is leaning on her for support, and she does know that she will always be here, for as long as the blonde might need.
When she finally stops crying and lets Linh reach gentle fingers to wipe her cheeks, and pulls out electric blue hair dye that brings a smile to both of their faces, Linh has a hard time believing that hair dye isn’t the cure for everyone’s sorrows.
-ˋˏ *.·:·.⟐.·:·.* ˎˊ-
Linh finds it funny that one can promise themselves one thing-- that they are going to try as hard as they can not to connect with others as a means of protecting themselves, for example-- but still end up breaking the promise if the right temptation crosses their path.
And her temptation? A certain blue-eyed blonde with now bright blue highlights who’s devious smirks and snarky words can snap Linh’s resolve in a second. She knows she should hate her for it, but surrounded by mischievous roommates with twinkling eyes and light smiles filled to the brim with warmth, she can’t help but snuggle closer to her weakness.
Her weakness, who is currently failing to dominate the board in a (not-so)friendly game of Christmas Monopoly. Marella informed her that it’s a holiday classic when she dragged her inside the house just an hour before, but judging by the rabid way the players are screaming at each other, Linh can’t say she agrees.
“What do you mean, the empire kind is the wrong kind?” Keefe screeches. “Duh, it’s easier!”
“For you, maybe! But it’s not the original!” Dex retorts.
Keefe jabs a finger at the board. “Then why are you still playing and why are you in second place?” He throws his hands up. “If you’re so mad about it, then stop playing and let the rest of us noncomplainers win.”
“Noncomplainers isn’t a word, Keefe,” Fitz says, idly shuffling the assortment of multi-colored money laid out in front of him. As banker, he’s the calmest and least angry of the bunch, though there’s something oddly menacing about the way he rearranges his money with careful, poised fingers.
Keefe, Dex, and Fitz are circled around the board, all nursing mugs of hot cocoa(which Linh has realized is a sort of trademark for them) in between bouts of shrieking, while Sophie left a little while ago to buy original Monopoly just in case Keefe and Dex destroy the board. Linh laughed when the exasperated blonde said it, but now she can see why it’s a legitimate concern.
Linh curls her cold feet in from her position on the long couch, and Marella automatically shifts the fluffy blanket they’re sharing to fully cover her toes again. Linh smiles up at her gratefully, and Marella offers a small smirk back. Then she goes right back to screaming. Linh debates calling Sophie and asking her to bring back ear plugs too.
“Whatever,” Biana scoffs. “You’re all sore losers.”
She is currently winning, as she has been for the entire game, and she glares down at the boys huddling around the game board from her perch in one of the armchairs.
And on it goes. At the end of the night, when Monopoly money is scattered on the floor and a smoking dinner that’s just a bit too salty is shared and hastily wrapped presents tied with glittery bows are exchanged(Marella is too impatient to wait for Christmas morning), Linh finds herself full of more love and joy than she thinks she ever has been in her entire life. There’s something oddly comforting about being with people who care for and accept her, even if it’s by default or association. Having someone who cares is a rare light in her life that most people take for granted.
Especially when there’s the smallest chance that the person who truly holds her heart returns her feelings.
-ˋˏ *.·:·.⟐.·:·.* ˎˊ-
It’s the night before Christmas and Linh can’t sleep.
It’s the tossing and turning type of ‘can’t sleep’, the kind where Linh lies awake long after dark waiting for her mind and conscience to stop running around in circles around her head, the kind where her insecurities grow claws and fangs and sink them in skin-deep, where there is no light slipping through the cracks to keep them at bay.
And Linh hates that kind of ‘can’t sleep’.
It makes her antsy, on edge, and the urge to pace itches at her feet. The unfamiliar surface of the floor of Marella’s bedroom only makes matters worse, and as softly as she tries to twist under the thin covers, it doesn’t take long for the rustling on the floor to alert the blonde girl dozing off above her.
Marella slides to the floor sleepily before Linh can whisper a protest and lands next to her on the mattress with a grunt. Linh rolls over to face her, and is startled by how close their faces are. She can count the light freckles on Marella’s nose and cheeks when she’s this close. Moonlight is streaming into the room through the cracks in the shutters of the window, painting streaks of glowing white on the blonde’s face. She always looks beautiful, but Linh finds there’s something especially intimate about her in this moment. The air is suddenly buzzing with palpable tension, making her palms go slick with sweat and her mind hyper-aware of every movement. She can’t take her eyes off Marella.
Then, girl of Linh’s dreams breaks the stillness, leaning forward and pressing soft, sleepy lips to her own.
She’s asleep by the time she draws away, but Linh is shaking with adrenaline. It’s the moment she’s waited for so long she can hardly think of a time where she didn’t want the blonde.
And yet.
Linh’s the kind of girl with baggage, with the kind of ‘skeletons in the closet’ that people run away screaming from, not because it’s scary, but because it’s messy. Complicated. It bogs everyone who knows down, making every action in her presence laborious and painful with the knowledge of her past. Even her brother, who once promised to be by her side forever, wouldn’t stay.
She knows it’s irrational, but suddenly she can’t imagine how to face Marella.
She slips out of the apartment in the early hours of the morning so Marella’s blue gaze can’t stop her from running away. But despite her misgivings, the insecurities that still haven’t retracted their claws, and the voice in the back of her head whispering that she has to have imagined it, Linh can’t stop touching a finger to her lips, long after she’s left the buzzing moonlit atmosphere that allows slips of self control under the cover of night.
-ˋˏ *.·:·.⟐.·:·.* ˎˊ-
It’s been weeks. Three weeks and five days, to be exact, and Linh still can’t figure out how to face her.
With every day that passes, she can feel the strong bonds they formed weakening. That’s one thing about relationships. They need an equal amount of effort. If Linh doesn’t put in enough, the object of her affection slips between her fingers before she can blink. That’s how she lost her brother, her friends, and any last semblance she might have had of “family”.
That is, until Marella.
She was persistent, even in the beginning, fighting to spend more and more time with a mildly resistant Linh, until she found it impossible to stay away. Her light is unlike any Linh has ever known, wild and fluid like an eternal flame that can’t be doused. That flame kept Linh alive for all these months, and yet here she is, ignoring it. Maybe even putting it through pain.
It takes a month, but it finally comes to her.
She realizes now that love isn’t something that affects only her, and that she isn’t the only one to win or lose in it. She isn’t the only person in love.
Love is two people, three people, ten people, a hundred people. Love is everyone who forces themselves into her life with the intent of staying no matter how dark it gets. Love is the flickers of light in the night and the bold streaks of sun in the morning. Love is the twinkling stars splattered across a purple painted sky.
Love is illumination. Love is clarity. Love is a path paved special, with different twists and turns for everyone.
Love is...
Marella.
Love is Marella.
-ˋˏ *.·:·.⟐.·:·.* ˎˊ-
Weeks of radio silence after months of talking nonstop is hard to bounce back from, and they both know this well.
But Linh comes back anyway. She comes knocking on Marella’s door exactly a month after they last talked, this time she being the one to approach at random in the middle of the night. When the door opens and she smiles apologetically, pressing a butterfly kiss to Marella’s forehead and pushing a big blanket and a bright, eye-melting color of hair dye into her arms in a silent apology, all Marella does is smile and pull her back in for a real, proper kiss.
Yeah, neon green and fluffy blankets are the solution to everything.

I made this a long time ago and I thought it was worth showing
It's definitely not accurate because everyone imagines the characters differently - like Bart is no longer 19 y.o. boy, Ryley never shows any emotion in the game (except pain when attacked, but that's all) and Avery was most likely just annoyed that they had to look for the Aurora instead of continuing in the Sunbeam's travel.
They have almost no background/backstory so it kinda gives people the freedom to create their own stories to the characters (not just these three, but all the others from Subnautica and BZ)
(This was made in August, I think, and my own views on their personalities changed a bit)
But I always wonder about what others think they are like so some HC is welcomed with open arms.
SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO ANSWER THIS BUT BROO THIS IS SO GOOD... I NEED TO MAKE ONE MYSELF FOR THESE THREE TBH?? OK SO ANYWAYS HERES JUST A BUNCH OF NONSENSE THOUGHTS I HAVE:
-honestly ive never rlly thought of pet names they'd have? there's only a few i care for and i can't rlly imagine any of them calling another person like. baby or honey.
-on the OTHER HAND. nicknames is absolutely my favorite way to show affection. i like to think that marg CONSTANTLY using nicknames (like she never calls bart or paul or robin by their names ever??) rubbed off on bart so now he also uses nicknames way too much (do i actually write this in?? i don't remember. i make up new ideas constantly. pretend i did.)
-ryley probably also uses nicknames sometimes, but avery tends to just use first names. he's fancy like that. (but also sometimes u just gotta call ryley ry. thems the rules)
-anytime any arguments or anything like the Jeffrey Situtation comes up, the three of them have pretty different reactions. ryley is Big of Heart, Dumb of Ass, and forgives basically any treatment or misgivings almost instantly. very attached and rarely gets into arguments in the first place bc he is so easy to compromise with and also super open?
-bart is. the opposite. although he also doesn't usually get into arguments, this is not due to being open. it is because he bottles up Every Negative Feeling and refuses to bring things up (this is a paul trait, thanks for the terrible coping mechanisms paul) if you DO manage to get him upset enough (a man has been murdered in lego city, oh god my dad's still alive but he doesn't seem to like me after all) then he lets out a lot of festered bitterness and maybe has a panic attack. often tries to act tough or completely ok in scenarios, but then one tiny set back makes him break down. will try to physically fight someone for causing pain to someone he knows completely fine, and then starts crying for an hour because like, roman said something that MIGHT have been a little harsh if you really really read into it (im projecting 😳)
-and avery is somewhere the middle to rein those two back in from Forgiving the Actual Murderer and Pretending to Not Be Sad over Daddy Issues. the most willing to genuinely talk about something, but also doesn't stand for anything genuinely harmful to anyone. he's like that one john mulaney bit about his wife dealing with conflict for him.
-all three of them are also incredibly affectionate. like beyond affectionate. bart will talk/listen to ppl for HOURS without getting bored, ryley is super physically affectionate (cuddle him and he'll give his life for you), and avery adjusts depending on how the other person shows affection. like super well. he can instantly go from Ryley Cuddle Feast to just a nice friend to sit quietly 3 feet apart from and watch the sunrise. he's just a dad friend through n through.
-ryley would DEFINITELY be the one to confess first. he blurts out things constantly and is also incredibly open and honest anyways. bart is too afraid of admiting to emotions to say anything about anything unless heavily prompted. (he has lost a lot, ya know? he's terrified of losing even more.)
-SORRY TO END IT ON A SAD NOTE BUT TUMBLR WONT LET ME ZOOM IN ON THE PICTURE AND I HAVE A V POOR MEMORY...ENJOY MY RANDOM SCREAMING THO I HOPE??
#i see your confesses first with ryley and avery.... you will enjoy a certain chapter in awa.... 👀#i have so many thoughts and feelings for these three..... im just big 💙❤💜💚💓💕💓💚💙💜 at them...#bart has dealt with a lot and he doesnt know how to deal with this all!! he just wants eveything to be good and normal!!#then he went and caught feelings... whadda fuck man....#LAJDKSBKRBAOHF#FR THO I LOVE THESE HCS!!! i share a lot of them or feel rlly similar about them!!!#bart torgal#ryley robinson#avery quinn#subnautica: survivors#subnautica: a world alone#ask#excuse the probably plentiful typos 😳 i wrote this all on my phone and im kinda tired and in pain so i didnt proofread v well 😳😳
