#that's how i see them handle situations with their counterparts

Everything we know about Michael so far, lore wise.
WARNING: SPOILERS FOR ALL SEASONS
➤ He's an high-ranking angel from the Celestial Realm, more specifically a Seraph. (nb: 18-2 and nb card: Luke - "I can do it too!")
➤ His love for sweets is the reason Luke took interest in baking. (swd: 5-12 and 23-5)
➤ He and Lucifer were equals in the Celestial Realm and no other angel shared the same status as them. Simeon referred to them back then as "the two great leaders of the Celestial Realm's legion of angels." (swd: 23-7) But currently Michael carries that position alone. (swd: 23-5)
➤ He was supposed to meet MC when they visited the Celestial Realm with Solomon but couldn't because a secret spring suddenly started drying and Michael had to go there to investigate the situation. (swd: 23-7)
➤ He used to be Mammon's mentor and tried his best to train the white-haired brother while in charge of him but wasn't able to figure out how to handle him and eventually went to Lucifer asking for help. And since Lucifer was somehow able to get Mammon to listen to him, he ended up taking over Michael's role and became his mentor instead. (swd: 27-19)
➤ He was originally the one in possession of the Ring of Wisdom but gave the ring to Solomon at a time when the human was feeling "lost" and Michael wanted to help him. (swd: 29-5)
➤ During MC's 2° stay in the Devildom when Diavolo was keeping secret from everyone that their powers had become a threat to the three realms, Michael sent the prince a message through Simeon, warning him that if whatever he was keeping a secret affected the Celestial Realm, angels wouldn't hesitate to intervene. (swd: 31-16 Hard Mode)
➤ He's the one who found the Ring of Light, counterpart to the Ring of Wisdom that Lucifer had lost during the Great Celestial War (swd: 37-9), and quickly noticed it was missing when Simeon stole it to give it to MC ( since it was the only other way to control their powers ), shooting the other angel a text stating that they needed to have a "good, long talk" and that he wanted to see him as soon as possible. (swd chat: M, "untitled")
➤ When MC was given the Ring of Light and fell unconscious because of it, Michael appeared to speak with them. And during their talk, the seraph told MC that he had pictured them to be truly wicked person due to being so well-liked by the brothers, but that he had been proven wrong after meeting them. (swd: 38-17)
➤ In that same conversation, Michael confessed to being jealous of MC. He told them: "I must admit that I'm jealous of you, MC. I wish I could have been more like you. Because I loved Lucifer and his brothers, and I lost them. Perhaps things could have been different..." (swd: 38-17)
➤ When asked, Satan explained to MC that Michael was the opposite of Lucifer appearance-wise but that they felt like twins at the same time. And when Mammon brought up Michael's adoration for Lucifer, Satan chimed in saying that in his opinion the reason Michael liked Lucifer so much was because he was the embodiment of everything he wanted to be but couldn't. (swd: 43-19)
➤ He would be the one having meetings with Diavolo when the prince took over the kingdom if he hadn't thrown the responsibility onto Lucifer in the last minute, making Michael in a way the stepping stone that led Lucifer to question his faith and start having doubts about God and the Celestial Realm in general. (swd: 44-15)
➤ When MC ended up in the past Celestial Realm through a dream Solomon sent them to accidentally by feeding them his food, Michael was the one to bring them back home. The angel told MC that they and the brothers would likely forget what happened in the dream but that it would still have an effect on all of them and he would keep an eye on them to make sure that said effect didn't have negative consequences in the future. (swd: 44-18)
➤ Luke told MC that he often found Michael in the hall where the brothers' portraits used to hang staring at the empty space, lost in thought. According to the small angel, Michael to this day still deeply misses the brothers and has regrets about the war. (swd: 49-15)
➤ He was the one to cast out the brothers from the Celestial Realm and send them to the Devildom. (swd: 50-7)
➤ According to Mammon, Michael and Simeon must've pulled some strings behind the scenes to get Luke to participate in the exchange program and be able to visit the Human World with Simeon because, with his low ranking, he'd never be the one chosen for those sorts of things and the Avatar of Greed is convinced that they're doing this because they want Luke to experience life outside the Celestial Realm, see that there's more out there than heaven, and stop thinking that angels are perfect beings who can do no wrong. (swd: 50-10)
➤ He's knowledgeable on constellations and likes them so much he had Raphael rebuilt a whole room so Human World constellations could be seen even from the Celestial Realm. (swd: 52-7) He also taught Mammon about them when he was still in his care, and later on taught Luke as well. (swd: 50-12)
➤ It was actually he who went into the Devildom and told the brothers that they had been forgiven by God and had to choose between staying in the demonic kingdom ( and making an enemy out of heaven ) or coming back to the Celestial Realm and leaving Satan behind. And in a conversation with Raphael, Michael said the reason for his disguise was that he was worried about what could happen if he showed up as himself. But Raphael quickly rebutted that by saying that the true reason Michael didn't go as himself was because he wouldn't know how to act around the brothers. (nb: 20-14 Hard Mode)
➤ Still disguised as Raphael before going back to the Celestial Realm, Michael told Luke that he wasn't surprised that the brothers didn't accept his offer to go back to heaven and actually knew that would be the outcome of it. He was also surprised not too long after when Luke, not knowing it wasn't Raphael who he was talking to, pointed out that Michael seemed sad and lonely whenever he was staring at the wall where the brothers' portraits used to be. Michael's exact response to the younger angel's words was: "...I didn't realize that's what people thought.” (nb: 20-A)
➤ When asked by Raphael if he planned to attend RAD in the future, Michael avoided giving an direct answer and left. (nb: 20-14 Hard Mode)
#there are some things here that have not been “confimed to be him” because he was under the name “???” during the scenes but#I added them here anyway because we all know it was him at this point#! there might be stuff I didn't add because I couldn't remember so tell me if you notice something is missing !#obey me shall we date#obey me nightbringer#omswd#obey me michael#obey me solomon#obey me lucifer#obey me diavolo#obey me luke#obey me simeon#obey me mc#obey me satan#obey me raphael#obey me#obey me lorebible#//om: michael#☙ no creativity for names ✾

HG HE JEBE HIHIHI IM SOOO OBSESSED WITH THE OVERSEER CONTENT ITS SO NEW TO ME AAAAAAAAAAA I LOVE IT
ahem ahem NORMAL!!!
anyways do you have any thoughts on how coop works in this version of sagau?? is it like delving into a different timeline of characters or is it like the known existence of multiple overseers?? very interested in this whole overseer plot i can’t wait to see how it goes!!!
AAAAAAA IM SO HAPPY TYSM
As for this ask, coop was actually something I thought about wayyyy back when crafting my own little interpretation of sagau lore.
Essentially, Overseer!Lore accepts every single Teyvat as a canon teyvat. Think like, parallel universes, wherein the only variable is which Overseer (aka which player) is steering the proverbial boat. I would say that the level of awareness regarding those "mirror Teyvats" depends heavily on how often the player of one specific world uses co-op.
Some characters - those whose players love co-op - are more than used to seeing doubles walking around. I would say that Childe for example would definitely not mind seeing a double (and by that I mean he would throw hands ON SIGHT, and both versions of him would be 100% down). However, for characters whose overseers rarely if ever play on co-op... well, their Teyvats are more of a closed ecosystem, and introducing an outside element would turn a few heads.
Then, of course - the characters who, while in co-op, get a chance to chat to their counterparts, and compare the differences in their respective worlds. No Teyvat is the same, after all, and neither are Overseers all alike. Not to mention, the various Teyvats are working on their own isolated timeframe. Let's just say that if a post-archon quest world Neuvillette met a pre-archon quest world Furina, there WOULD be tears. And most likely the hug that poor girl needs. At least Neuvillette is sensible enough not to let slip anything about the events that unfolded in his homeworld. (There is also the matter of Scaramouche... and Rhukkadevata. How would Teyvat handle the influx of forbidden knowledge? I headcanon that the Traveler would have to pull the gaslight of the century and attribute the differences in lore to the different Overseers in charge.)
One thing that would be extremely bittersweet, though? The one important choice players can make is the choice regarding the twin. The Traveler seeing their twin in co-op would undoubtedly shake them. A mirror version of their sibling, thrust into the same unexplicable situation as they were - convinced that the other has abandoned them, or that they are lost. The shared loneliness, the mutual understanding, all with the fact that they both look like each other's missing piece while not being the right fit at all. They can find a modicum of comfort in one another, but at the end of the day, both of them know that that's not their family. The loneliness seems even more crushing.

The security breach crew react to a reader biting their own fingers until they bleed
⤷ BITING YOUR FINGERS RED
glamrock freddy, glamrock chica, roxanne wolf, montgomery gator, sundrop, moondrop || five night's at freddy's
gender-neutral reader
masterlist, navigation
sometimes I have no clue what to write
⤷ GLAMROCK FREDDY
Nearly has a panic attack when he notices the red staining your fingers. He's quick to gently take your hands away from your mouth so you can't keep biting them, hurrying you to a first aid station so he can fix your hands up.
Will be scolding you the entire time. Why are you biting your fingers enough for them to bleed? Your blood is supposed to stay inside of your body, believe him. If you're doing it because you were stressed, bored or anything else, he will do his best to aid the reasoning so you won't keep doing it.
⤷ GLAMROCK CHICA
Much like Freddy, she freaks out when she notices what happened. She squeaks in protest, and she's sure her heart would have stopped had she been a human. She immediately rushes you to the nearest first aid station. She probably picks you up so you getters quicker, too.
Gets rather pushy about knowing why you did it if you don't tell her the first time she asks to know. Why don't you want her knowing? Is it something bad? Have people been picking on you? Does she need to eat scold someone? When you tell her, she'll do her best to help if there is a reason, if not, she'll see if there's anyway for you both to work together to get over the habit.
⤷ ROXANNE WOLF
She also freaks out, to maybe some people's surprise. Stumbles over a bunch of the staff bots in her haste to get you to a first aid station.
She doesn't really process you did that yourself at first, so she's asking how it happened, thinking maybe someone else hurt you. When she finds out you have a habit of biting your fingers, she's still worried just in a different way. She'll try and figure out a plan with you to get you over the habit.
⤷ MONTGOMERY GATOR
Pretty much the only glamrock who doesn't completely lose their shit. He's still a bit panicked, but he handles it a lot better than the other three. He's no less quick in getting you to a first aid station to get you all bandaged up.
Gets kinda angry with you for hurting yourself like that. Why in the world are you biting your own fingers? He doesn't understand, but if he sees that he's upsetting you, he'll remove himself from the situation and get one of the others to check on you. Will come back once he's calmed down and ask you how he can he'll you to not do it.
⤷ SUNDROP
He handles it really well, actually. Little kids get hurt all the time, sometimes they don't even notice and other times they won't stop crying out of fear, regardless if it hurts or not. Handles the situation really well with getting you bandaged up.
Doesn't know what to do with getting you to stop though, he knows habits are difficult to get out of, so he'll mostly ask you what he can do to help you out.
⤷ MOONDROP
Handles the situation really well, much like his daytime counterpart. While it's less frequent, some kids won't stay still and will get themselves injured when it's his turn to be in charge. He'll make sure it gets proper care so nothing gets infected.
If you have no idea how to stop yourself from biting your fingers, he has a bunch of ideas and suggestions you can try that might help out!

This is a follow-up post for yesterday's post regarding the Taranza, Sectonia, Dark Meta Knight and Dark Mind situation.
All the other star allies have varying reactions to the severe beef that Taranza and Dark Meta Knight have with each other.
Some of them try to stop the fights, but there are others that don't.
Here's a chart that sums up how everyone handles it in my hcs:
Marx is an agent of chaos, as he's always hyped to see fights break out. He thinks the Taranza vs. DMK feud is hysterical. He likes to encourage their fights, and will sometimes join to make it three-way fights for no real reason other than because he thinks it's funny. When he joins the fights, Kirby has to slap him on the face. I would say on the wrists, but Marx doesn't have wrists, so on the face it is.
Susie and Magolor wholly cheer on Taranza during his strife with DMK. He's their buddy! He has their full support. They record the fights on their phones, and it helps Taranza's self-esteem (which is usually low) when they let him know they record the fights. They also hurl insults at DMK while cheering on Taranza to mercilessly kick his butt. Kirby sometimes has to slap them on the wrists for 'making it worse'.
Meta Knight would usually help break up star ally fights, but not fights between these two. He's always been rather insecure about DMK's existence. He cringes at the fact that he's his counterpart, and is petty enough to straight up enjoy watching Taranza beat him up.
The mage sisters, like Marx, are also agents of chaos, although they don't join the fights like he does. Instead they just laugh their butts off while watching the fights occur. Zan Partizanne is also supportive of Taranza, albeit not quite at the levels that Susie and Magolor do it.
Kirby does not condone the fights in the slightest, and is always quick to try to break them up. He's always upset about his friends fighting, but this feud is especially dire as he's had to admonish Taranza for making literal kill attempts on DMK. He understands why they don't get along, but he'd still like to see the good in DMK, and tries everything that he can to keep these two separated from each other.
Daroach, Adeleine and Ribbon also don't condone the fights at all. All three of them are DMK's friends, and while they understand why Taranza has distaste for the guy, they also absolutely don't want him severely harming DMK. They still try to see the good in DMK. Daroach especially cares enough about DMK to the point he's gotten into heated arguments with Taranza for constantly trying to hurt him.
King Dedede and Bandana Waddle Dee fully assist Kirby in helping stop the fights, although it may be a little bit reluctant in Bandee's case. Bandee is not friends with either Taranza or DMK since he's generally rather distrustful of ex-villain dream friends, and so deep down he doesn't seriously care about their beef, but helps Kirby stop the fights regardless. Dedede on the other hand is in charge of star ally gatherings, and gave himself the job to break up star ally fights.
Rick, Kine, Coo and Gooey don't really want anything to do with the fights. They're not fans of drama like this. Gooey would rather just go fishing than bother trying to stop these annoying fights. The animal trio would do the same, as they'd normally help break up star ally fights but this particular beef is just too much for them to deal with.
-----
That concludes this post!

I’ve been thinking so much about how ASTV goes out of its way to set up Miles and Gwen as both parallel and directly opposing each other throughout the entire film and going just a little feral so now I am subjecting my essay upon the internet.
First off we have the direct comparisons that can be made between Miles and Gwen as people, the way they both use that awful fake low voice to disguise themselves. Both of them have fathers that are in the police force who were at one point staunchly against spider-man and to whom they have to conceal themselves from. Both of them started out as superheroes around the same age. Both are established as people who despite having support groups around them who support them (miles and ganke plus his parents, gwen with her band and her dad (here on a technicality)) to be desperately lonely people because they can never discuss who they are in full with anyone, and who in turn feel a special connection with each other because of all these similarities in their unique situations. Both of them are also painted as anomalies, with Gwen being a Gwen Stacy who exists outside of the ‘girlfriend who tragically dies’ role given to her other universe counterparts (this may change in BTSV based on some creator statements but for now its all we have to go off of). And Miles, the kid who was never meant to become spider-man but who excelled at the role. Both of them are extremely skilled superheroes who keep up with the older veterans despite their age too.
And then we have some of the hard hitting differences. The polar opposite relationship these two have with both their fathers and with family in general. Even as spider-man, Miles has kept a good rapport up with his father and the police, if met with a little more annoyance from the police. Gwen on the other hand, has been hunting down like a criminal for most of her vigilante life, doubly so by her own father who even when confronted with the fact that his daughter is spider-woman, tries to lock her up anyways. Something we know with absolute certainty Miles’ dad would not do. Gwen’s dad is also the only family she has left, and even before that it seems that her support group was very small and limited to Peter and Aunt May. On the other hand Miles has both his parents and a lot of people he can at least call acquaintances (we see this in the first movie as he has always been a bit of a people person, well loved at his old school). We also see a stark difference in how they would have handled being told they couldn’t use the watches to visit. Gwen, clearly afraid of losing the one safe space she has left, keeps in line regardless of her own feelings because she cannot risk it. Miles, on the other hand, had he been put in a position to join spider-society before Gwen, would have gone to see her by any means- he was already trying to see both her and Peter from his own dimension.
There are some other scenes and visuals that also continue this trend, screencaps and explanations of those below the readmore.
First off we have the visual contrast between Miles and Gwen’s respective dimensions. Gwen’s world is a blur of color, the cityscape blends together only to focus on the things Gwen cares about. It’s painted together.
Miles’ world, on the other hand, while having a slight blur that is reminiscent of older comics, stands out much more sharply. And while not as distinctly colorful as Gwen’s world, its a much brighter take on our everyday reality (mostly this one shot is not the best example).
When Miles and Gwen first meet and start talking on the bank building, this shot happens. As Gwen sits with a backdrop of shadows we pan up to see Miles standing, the archway giving him the bright backdrop of sky. Right here, as they talk about what could happen if Miles’ were to reveal his identity, visually they are on two opposite sides of one story to reflect how ideologically separated they are on this topic. There’s a physical divide between them. This is coupled by the way ATSV uses the imagery of people being oriented in different directions to show their separation. It’s used in the promo art for Miles vs spider-society, and twice in relation to Miles and Gwen specifically.
But despite their vastly different experiences, the way that their lives have played out so differently, they still have a connection, shown by the way that Miles gets down to match Gwen’s perspective. He literally meets her at her level, and by doing so they get a view that only the two of them can share. Miles is what brings them back onto the same parallel track by orienting himself to match Gwen. That divide doesn’t exist anymore.
This one is less meaningful I just kinda thought it was cute how they essentially had the same reaction to watching the Spot’s plan play out.
The most meaningful shot in this scene though once more brings back the separation via oriented in opposite directions though. The backdrop behind them is open, connecting them together, and they’re on the same level face to face. However, Miles is upside down. Rather than Gwen being the one in strong disagreement, now Miles is with the fact that Gwen would choose to abandon him without telling him anything. And unlike Miles, Gwen doesn’t have the chance to try and see it from his perspective.
The last point I want to bring up is two paralleled shots in the movie. The first being when Miles catches Gwen with his web when she falls in Mumbattan. Here, the only thing that makes the web snap is when Miles’ starts glitching, literally the only thing the could have made him drop her is the universe itself interfering.
Vs when Gwen returns the favor in Nueva York. Only this time it isn’t about the universe interfering, it’s about how she’s lost Miles’ trust so completely, so utterly, that he would rather break off this connection himself than have Gwen save him.
All these things come together to just break my heart over what’s happened to their friendship- I really want some solid resolution to just how much both Gwen and Peter have hurt Miles in the next movie. But also the levels this movie goes to show just how these two are connected to make their intense bond over such a short period more believable is just superior film making at its best. If anyone has more examples I didn’t point out here please let me know I would love to see them.

Goodbye Dearest MC
Brothers reacting to MC getting killed trying to save them (Part 4: Satan)
<- Leviathan
You wanted to live. You wanted to live and grow older with me didn't you?! Then why...WHY did you throw yourself to death for me!?
Your eyes met right before disaster struck. He literally watched you make a split-second decision and dive forward, jumping on top of him.
To his horror, your calculations were correct. The airborne weapons were definitely set to fall upon Satan. If you hadn't intervened.
"MC NO!" He cried out trying to shield your back with his arms, but you were holding him down, his arms pinned to the side. You knew in the last second, he'd try to save you.
"You would have...lost your arms...silly..." You said between heavy breathing. With your strength diminishing, he freed himself from under you, cradling your injured body.
"SO WHAT IF I LOST MY ARMS?! DAMNIT MC!" Satan made you lean on his chest, as he tried to observe the damage on your back. He hated what he saw. His head swam with rage and misery.
"Without your arms...you can't flip pages..." You argued. "And worst of all ...you can't pet cats. Your arms are important." He almost laughed. In a desperate time like this, he almost laughed.
Who else except you could do this to him? What a joyless world it would be without you. He was muttering every heal he had stored away in his memory for any situation like this. And yet they were hardest to remember now.
"Remember we used to...read books about stories like this...and we used to talk about...what we'd do..." You were almost in a trance. Satan let you keep talking, he knew you were doing it to distract from the burning pain you were in.
"Now that it's happening...I feel like we didn't talk.. about it nearly...nearly enough..." You stared up at his big blue eyes, swimming in unshed tears. "You can cry...I know you want to."
His tears fell as if on cue. Violent sobs rose from his chest as he hugged you tight and cried into your shoulder. He didn't even need to tell you, did he?
"You knew, didn't you...You knew no amount of healing would save you...You did this on FUCKING PURPOSE ..." Satan said, desperately trying to get his emotions under control. But this feeling was new. He never learnt how to handle it - how to make it go away.
"In that one second, I saw your eyes change. They were panicked until they weren't anymore. I didn't understand what it meant until you... It took you one mere second to make peace with your death!" All the knowledge in the world, yet what was the point if it couldn't save you?
You smiled. Acknowledging that everything he said was right. "The weapons were... cursed with ...special runes. A lot of them ....don't have counterparts.... for undoing."
Satan felt his heart dying, slowing down to match the pace of yours. "I won't forgive you for this. Do you have no idea how much you mean to me? Did you forget how much I need you?"
"You've always loved... solitude more...silly. It won't be...too bad." You leaned deeper into him, as if memorizing the texture of his sweater and how his muscles feel through it. "I'm glad..my last moments are... alone with you.."
Satan stayed silent, feeling desolate and defeated. He listened to you intently. Your precious last few words. "Perhaps after this... you'll understand Lucifer... a little better too."
"I wish you happiness Satan...I wish you all the happiness ...you gave me..." You grew dizzier, the air escaping your lungs. "I hope.. I see you again..."
He struggled to keep composure. His throat full of lumps and tears. "Safe journey, dear MC..." He let out a sharp cry of agony as your head fell limp and your eyes closed forever.
His eyes went wide. It was true. Satan had felt Lucifer's grief, but without a connection and without reason.
Now even Satan had a reason. Now Satan had his very own Lilith story. Now Satan knew exactly why Lucifer sacrified his autonomy to Diavolo. And Satan now started walking, carrying you, towards the castle to do the same.
#obey me#obey me angst#obey me satan#obey me satan angst#god this one was especially hard to write...#i love him too much ahhh

I’ve seen so many Miguel x non-spidey Secretary posts lately (and I’m EATING THEM UP) & not only do I work in an office but I’m also really into computers- fixing, building, troubleshooting, coding..
Of course as a woman no one ever expects me to be the one to know how to fix the problem, and now I keep daydreaming about these scenarios with Miguel getting frustrated about some computer / tech issue and being the one to hop in and fix it for him, and how he’d be impressed and maybe even attracted to that
If you’ve ever seen Green Arrow, I relate heavily to Felicity Smoak 😅

I may not have used my sketchbook as much as I thought I would, with regard to locations, but I did fill a few pages with one of my favourite pastimes back in The World: people sketching.
My biggest anxiety about going to McMurdo was the human factor. Whether it was school or work, a recurring motif in my life is that I do not do well in a big box full of Americans, and that is, almost literally, exactly what McMurdo is. Sure, the continent wants to kill you, and every way of getting to and around it comes with risk of serious accident, but the only thing I was actually afraid of was finding myself in a stressful social situation and not having any recourse to escape. I know how to build a snow cave. I don't know how to deflect the ire of people who've taken a set against me – and, for whatever reason, I tend to rub people in the States the wrong way. When I was shortlisted for the placement, the person handling the admin briefed me about the process and asked me if I had any further questions, and I raised this concern. She responded that, speaking purely from her own experience, she had never felt more comfortable being herself than when she was at McMurdo. Not knowing who 'herself' was, I took this with a grain of salt, but it was an encouraging answer nonetheless.
It turned out that the best thing about McMurdo was, in fact, those very people I had been afraid of. Everyone I met was absolutely splendid. In my first days there, my supervisor joked that if you shake the world, all the best people end up at the bottom; the remainder of my time there proved how right she was. One of the main things that attracted me to the Terra Nova story, and has kept me committed to it for so long, was how wonderful the people were – far outside what I had come to expect from humanity. Warm, genuine, accepting of and attentive to each other, a wide range of personalities and dispositions that nevertheless got on and functioned together as a society, in the face of environmental and emotional extremes ... I needed to know such people were possible, and clung to them as an ideal. It was a wonderful surprise to discover that they would not be out of place amongst their modern counterparts.
Is it because they're scientists, as someone theorised? But they're not – most of the people at McMurdo are support staff, working in the kitchen or waste disposal or shuttle fleet; helping the science happen, yes, but that's not necessarily why they're there, personally. Is it because a harsh environment triggers something in the human psyche to support each other, rather than compete? Maybe, but these people seem like they'd be solid wherever they are, and were like that before going South.
I suspect there is an element of self-selection – something about the sort of person who would want to go to Antarctica correlates with a certain mindset, one that gels extremely well with others who share it, however different they may be in other respects. There is no denying that everyone there is a bit odd. They tend to be types that exist on the fringes back in The World and, like me, may struggle to conform to its values. A few years ago, I came across this adage from an Antarctic veteran: "You go the first time for the adventure. You go the second time to relive the first time. You go the third time because you don't belong anywhere else." Many of them live in remote places, or travel, or do itinerant work when not on the Ice. There is a bit of a running gag in Where'd You Go, Bernadette? that everyone doing a mundane job in Antarctica is a high achiever in something amazing, who left it all behind – and that's not exactly untrue. Perhaps what unites Antarcticans is an awareness of what really matters, when you get right down to it: they've played the game enough to see through it, and are done with it. "Glory? He knew it for a bubble: he had proved himself to himself. He was not worrying about glory. Power? He had power." So Cherry wrote about Wilson in 1948, but many modern Antarcticans might sympathise. When you come out the other side of self-aggrandisement and jockeying for status, and are happy just to be yourself and let others be themselves, you get a happy, harmonious society. Or so it would seem.
At midnight on my last day there, I had a deep conversation with someone I'd only met in passing before, but who was totally down to have a long talk with a random stranger on a footbridge in the middle of the night. I presented her my hypothesis that no one at McMurdo was popular in high school. No, she replied; there may be a handful who were popular in high school ... but they're not popular at McMurdo. Maybe the secret is in there somewhere.
Anyway, I didn't do nearly as much people sketching as I'd have liked, given that the base was populated entirely by Characters, but these are the pages I did manage to get.
Two pages of random McMurdites, likely in the Galley:
These last four are from a meeting where team leaders were presenting their projects to some high muckymucks visiting from the NSF. I was only there because my project was allotted a space in the presentation, but the main focus was the massive Thwaites Glacier project, a collaboration between the US Antarctic Program and the British Antarctic Survey to study one of the most unstable regions in Antarctica. They quite rightly took up the whole meeting time, and the privilege of being there meant I learned a lot about the project. My longstanding habit is to draw during meetings, so I captured some of them in my sketchbook while absorbing the science into my head.
Notable characters in my sketches include:
- David Vaughan, heading up the British contingent of the Thwaites team, was quite an engaging and affable guy but had a concentration scowl that puts mine in the shade. I was shocked when I heard he died of cancer earlier this year (2023) – a great loss to BAS, glaciology, and Antarctic science generally.
- When Erin Pettit isn't studying glaciers with an eye to climate change, she's taking girls on wilderness adventures to foster an interest in science and art, as well as self-confidence.
- Britney Schmidt, Queen of Icefin, not only earned my profound respect but has a whole episode of PBS's Terra dedicated to her work developing sub-ice autonomous robots with the aim of exploring Europa. (Seriously, so cool.)
I could go on about Antarctic people, but there's nothing so good as showing you, and luckily I can do just that. PBS sent a small team down in 2018 to do a YouTube series, and one of their episodes is all about the cool people who call McMurdo home. It might make my point better than all my whittering, and is certainly more fun. If you'd like to see more, Werner Herzog's film Encounters at the End of the World is much of the same, but more so. It had been recommended to me several times, but I hadn't managed to get my hands on it until a week before I left, when it turned out a Cambridge friend had a copy and lent it to me. 'I don't know how true it is,' he said, 'but I want it to be.' When I got back, I was happy to confirm to him that it was, indeed, exactly like that. And I miss it so much.

hey y'all remember soul eater? i just randomly remembered soul eater existed and then my brain got taken over by cubitos about it. if you don't remember soul eater, the important thing to know is that some people can shapeshift into magical weapons wielded by partners called meisters. technically anyone can become a meister, but it is a thing you do have to train to do while being a weapon is something you're born with. anyway, this first post is just characters' first impressions of each other and i'll make another post with more secrets and truths if ppl are interested (i was gonna make it this one but this post is getting Long)
First Residents
FitMC and Spreen
Spreen is a cocky and extremely well trained meister who is used to working with his brother Missa or his Good Pal Roier who are both relatively laid back and used to his shenanigans. He absolutely deserves to be cocky given how absurdly skilled he is, but he clashes badly with fiercely independent, reserved, and paranoid grenade launcher Fit of 2b2t. Fit sees Spreen as an entitled brat and they simply do not vibe with each other well enough for Spreen to wield him.
Fit will let Ramón wield him fairly freely because it's important for kids to learn these things early, but prefers to handle any situation where Ramón might actually be in danger by himself.
Quackity Luzu and Wilbur
Quackity is a single chainsaw in search of a meister. Luzu and Wilbur are both meisters not in search of weapons. Luzu has his own shit going on with an AI taking over his body sometimes so he's mostly out of the picture. Wilbur was trained as a meister by his father but isn't all that interested in the job and just wants to play music. Besides, he has skinny little noodle arms and chainsaws are heavy and hard to wield.
Neither Tilín and Talluluh have ever received any formal meister training.
Philza and Missa
Phil is an old and skilled meister in need of a new weapon. Missa is a macuahuitl of pretty middling experience. He's certainly not incompetent and he and Phil are capable of working together well enough, but it's hard to get to know each other well enough to truly bond when Missa isn't around very often. Still, they probably have the most effective combat record out of any of the Federation assigned partnerships.
Chayanne is also a macuahuitl and the only weapon among the eggs. He is far more eager to learn the craft than either of his parents are for him to learn.
Slime and Mariana
Slime and Mariana are probably the Least effective duo in combat. They're both weapons, for one thing. Mariana is an extraordinarily powerful gauntlet and Slime is a 9mm glock. Mariana has at least a bare minimum of meister training, but neither of them are actually like. Any good at it. Or very good at being weapons for that matter. Or in tune with each others' wavelengths enough to wield each other. At least they're trying.
Juanaflippa could dual wield her papas on the rare occasions she could get them to both show up for her.
Roier and Jaiden
These two are another weapon4weapon pair but much stabler than Slime and Mariana. Jaiden is a scythe but she's always had an interest in learning how to be a meister. Roier has learned a trick or two from Spreen that he's willing to pass along and he's got enough experience as a weapon on his own to cover for her if she messes up. He's a backsword and he's learned how to wield himself and gotten pretty good at it, especially since Spreen betrayed him.
Bobby preferred his guns to wielding either of his parents and never got any formal meister training either.
DanTDM and Maximus
Maxo knows that he's a meister and that SOFIA isn't a weapon. That's all he can say for sure. He never knew Dan or Trump well enough to say.
BadBoyHalo
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Whatever he knows, he won't give a straight answer about it. Everyone is pretty sure his counterpart is probably Skeppy.
Dapper has been seen to wield an array of different red and black or cyan colored weapons when Bad isn't around, but so far Bad has always had an alibi and there's no solid proof Skeppy even exists.
Foolish and Vegetta
A pair of outliers. Foolish is an ex-meister long since turned pacifist and Vegetta exclusively wields weapons that don't shapeshift into humans. He says it's because he has no time for weapon drama <- the most dramatic bitch on the island.
Leo is very skilled with many weapons, but again, not the kind that shapeshift into people.
The Brazilians
Mike and Pac
One of the strongest partnerships on the island, these two have been fighting together forever. Pac is Mike's egg, but also his trusty rifle. Mike is a decent sniper, but mostly Pac just gets waved in peoples' faces when Mike is mad about something. Pac can reload himself absurdly fast, but also will frequently just jam himself and refuse to fire if Mike is making decisions he doesn't agree with.
Cellbit Forever and Felps
Felps is the rare meister who will dual wield weapons who don't come paired already. He spent years with Cellbit, a main gauche dagger, and the pair of them got along fine. A lot of what he did was keep Cellbit's bloodlust in check, but it worked. Then they added Forever, a rapier, to their little trio and Cellbit found his comfortable place as a parrying dagger defending Felps with Forever on the offensive.
Richarlyson
A baby meister in training, Richas is learning the most from Felps since Mike has been keeping his distance since the bull incident. At least he was before Felps went missing.
The French
Kameto
Kameto is a self wielding guillotine perfectly capable of handling himself, so wherever he's gotten himself off to, he's probably fine.
Antoine and Baghera
Antoine and Baghera are easily the least experienced pair on the island, but they make up for that with their sharp intelligence and the fact that they have excellent mentors. Antoine is a poleaxe with Baghera as his meister.
Etoiles and Aypierre
Etoiles and Aypierre aren't the most experienced pair on the island, but they're close to the most experienced working with each other and definitely the most dangerous. They were mentoring Antoine and Baghera when the plane crashed. Etoiles is a bec de corbin so he has a lot of relevant experience for Antoine. He is also extremely independent and capable of wielding himself to the point where he sometimes gets mistaken for a shapeshifting weapon. Between that and Pierre using non-magic weapons like Vegetta, they both spend more time apart than together.
Pomme
Pomme is going to be a meister someday, but for now, Etoiles is just teaching her how to the individual weapons that make up him and Antoine since he can defend her better on her own than by trying to have her wield him.

miss ellie I have a question about the lore. can the human reader go back into human society or are we shunned?
hehe what a spicy question!!!
In truth, it depends--partly on your attitude towards monsters and partly towards the circumstances that may or may not happen during your stay at MC. It would be quite easy for you to graduate, go home, and say "yeah monsters suck lol" forget about it all and go back to your human life. People would probably still give you odd looks at first knowing your situation, but leaning into your humanity hard means you're not gonna rock the boat too much and you'll largely get to go unscathed.
But the moment you start showing compassion for them, especially for the monster species that people consider "gross" or less palatable than werewolves or vampires, you'll encounter pushback. People in the human circles of society won't want to hire you. They'll think you're weird, that you have something wrong with you, and if you're with another monster romantically then you'll find people are openly hostile towards you and your love. Your mailbox might get smashed or your house broken into. People will send you hateful letters and emails online. Post your address. Move, and they'll find it again, and then you'll move again. The feeling of being exposed and unsafe in your own home will creep higher and higher until it gets to be too much to bear, and even if you desperately want to keep living in human society there will come a point where you just simply can't.
Because as many as there are people in the world that wish to close the gap between humans and monsters, as many politicians you see on tv advocating for monster-human connection, and celebrities posting about their support for monster-human advancement in society, those kind words won't help you in the face of people who just can't handle their lives being invaded by something they don't understand. Everyone in your society has a "well this monster killed my cousin" or "this monster is okay but those monsters are evil" story, and regardless of how you feel or how patient your monster friends and lovers may be, there will undoubtedly come a point where you're forced to accept that human society just doesn't want you there anymore. If you're too much like them, the bogeymen in all their human ghost stories and fairytales, then you just don't belong.
So to say you're "shunned" from your fellow humans might be too much and also not enough to describe it. Especially because although most humans will believe (or choose to believe) for a variety of reasons why MC's admissions chose you as a non-monster, there will be some that remain suspicious as to your real heritage. I'll be honest, many humans won't care too much about a little monster blood in your veins, so long as you look, sound, and act the part of human. But some take it seriously, some take it to a near heinous extent, and will crave the knowledge of your strange blood and what lies within it that even experts at the top monster colleges in the world have failed to identify. Because in their eyes, what in the world could make you so special that you're not only an anomaly in the human world, but also an anomaly in the world of monsters where everything is anomalous?
As scary and hostile as that all sounds, however, it's worth it to note that this is only one side of society in the world at large, and compared to the population that does accept you it's actually rather small, though the hostilities certainly make it feel rather isolating and dooming. While the place you might've grown up in or the cities and areas you're used to may turn their backs on you, there will always be safe haven for you and for monsters as a collective. Monster-exclusive conclaves exist but in much smaller array than their human counterparts; for the most part, monster cities are incredibly welcoming to humans, mixed human-monster species, and mixed families and couples of all species.
One such area is Rünerhea, one of the largest monster-built cities on this side of the sea, and home to thousands upon thousands of monsters, humans, and everyone you can find between. The city itself has survived countless invasions, sieges, plagues, and famine, and is one of the only capital cities in the world to be entirely monster-driven for the entirety of its existence. Not far from Monster Campus itself, it's one of the safest and most pragmatic places to settle into an integrated life, where you will never fear judgement, prejudice, or harm from the greater human body. The people are lively, the jobs are plentiful, the food and ale are to die for, and whether you settle into a cozy two-story home on Lilac Street with your lover or a single room in The Drunken Druid while you wander to find an apartment with a view you like, Rünerhea feels like home from the moment you open your eyes in the morning to the second your head hits the pillow at night. No soul in their right mind would come to Rünerhea to protest their freedom of monster-human contact, not in a solo venture nor as an army, because despite humans far outnumbering monsters on this earth there is no denying the strength the latter has when on a united front. The Rünerhea guard are themselves trained to a terrifyingly strict discipline, but despite even their builds and the weapons they carry there are few things more frightening than an angry tiefling defending their half-human children, or a group of pixies retaliating when the family of their human neighbor try to drag them back home. Even when the rest of the world turns their back on you, the city of Rünerhea, its citizens, and others all over the continent will welcome you with open arms, and never again will you have to look over your shoulder out of fear that someone will take their hatred of monsterkind out on you.

Dazai Osamu x reader
💌 Reading into the palms of isekai bullshit:
Chapter 5 💌
Summary: You were no stranger to isekai bullshit. It’s not like you had a problem with it. The genre took over the anime scene for years now but you try to stay away from thinking about how you would handle the situation. The last time you thought about inserting yourself into your favorite show you wrote a 100k word xReader fic for your favorite characters and you didn’t want to spend all your time consumed by the brainrot again. Never again, you promised yourself that was the last time you’d let the devil on your shoulder win. You clicked on chapter 1 to start the adventure over again but when you opened your eyes and saw Dazai O-FUCKING-samu getting choked by Kunikida you honestly hoped it was a dream.
Notes: Another isekai so I can play around with BSD like dolls.
💌 Word count: 2,522 💌 <= Previous Chapter | Next Chapter =>
As expected, neither of you would bring it up once Dazai did make his return and it wouldn’t be until Kunikida received the call from the president that you'd be relevant again. Which is fine you needed the break anyhow. Keeping up with Dazai had been easy at the beginning but now that things have progressed you don’t know what to make of it. It could be the fact that before you didn’t believe in the possibilities thinking that eventually you’d wake up and this would have been a silly little thing your brain created one night. As the days flew by and especially with last night's date things became very real. You were brought out of your thoughts when the phone rang and despite not being able to hear the other side of the conversation you remembered the gist of the exchange.
“All operatives are to leave company offices and gather at the former facility”
Kunikida stopped what he was working on and looked over to who was currently around. “Do you mean your previous headquarters before you founded the agency”
“Only a select few know of that location so we should be safe. We risk being overwhelmed by superior numbers otherwise. Hold on I have visitors”
“Sir, what’s going on? Sir?” His voice wasn’t that concerned at all but you could visibly see the panic as Atsushi entered the room. “What’s wrong?” Atsushi questioned putting the boxes down.
“Something happened with the president. Ambushed maybe.” Kunikida was still very nonchalant in his demeanor. “We should go and help then-”
“I’m sure he’s fine. More importantly-”
“How can you be so calm at a time like this!”
Kunikida sighed “Try and grab hold of my hand, you’ll see why” Atsushi looked at his hand, reaching out but he was already on the floor “That was the first technique he passed down to me. I’ve never won a single match against him. He’s not going to lose against a handful of mediocre hitmen”
Kunikida then made arrangements for everyone to meet at the former facility. You were all waiting around before the president made his entrance “Listen up, the port mafia seeks to eradicate the agency. The guild seeks to usurp the agency. We must do all we can to protect ourselves from both of these foes. Dazai please continue” You were getting excited counting down the minutes for a certain slug to make an appearance. It would probably be the only time you saw Dazai’s counterpart.
“You got it~” He winked at you before addressing the rest of the room. “The guild has substantial financial assets and the port mafia has the benefit of numbers, so we’ll split into defensive and offensive teams and engage them in gorilla warfare. The primary goal for the defensive team is to make sure doctor Yosano is protected. As long as we don’t die outright, her healing ability can cure our injuries.” Dazai took a pause pointing out the defensive team that consisted of you, Fukuzawa, Ranpo, Yosano, and Kenji. “The offensive team will split into two sections and will surprise the enemy using Junichiro’s mirage ability and my nullification ability. The crux of our strategy is to keep our base of operations hidden. If our enemies hit us here with everything they’ve got our defenses will never hold” he punctuated his speech with a smile. Fukuzawa made the last declaration before everyone dispersed. “Of the three organizations only one of us can survive. Our only option left is to fight. A three way war, a war of the gifted!”
Then you were left to your own devices. You spent the first part of your writing out the details of what would happen just in case Ranpo was serious about you telling him what happens next. You never know with Ranpo. As he finished more and more of his snacks you tried to hand it off to him. He nodded at you acknowledging you did your part but he didn’t open it yet. Maybe he was testing if you were telling the truth or if anything has changed since causing butterfly effects were always a concern in the back of your mind.
“Man, I’m so bored! I wanna go outside.” Ranpo whined in the president’s direction. Fukuzawa was reading while he put black and white pieces on a board. You think he’s playing “Go” but you thought it was a two player game. “Any suspicious activity?”
Yosano sighed “A bunch of nothing followed by more nothing” It’s been like this for hours now.
“Luckily the only way to enter this hall is through that underground railroad tunnel. Even if an enemy does try to invade our location our security cameras will warn us well in advance.”
“We set up a fair amount of traps on the way as well.” Yosano added just before Ranpo shouted “War is so boring! I’m already out of snacks after just half a day. I know hey Akiko let’s play hanafuda online!”
She had stars in her eyes at the offer. “Okay how much do you wanna bet?
Ranpo went quiet, opening his eyes causing you to perk up from your relaxed position. Chuuya must have finally shown up on some of the cameras. Yosano blinked at Ranpo’s suddenly serious demeanor “What’s the matter?” You leaned over his shoulder to see everyone’s favorite sad boy. "Let me guess they sent the short redhead with the tacky hat?"
“I think we should call back the defensive teams.” Ranpo put his hat back on, peering towards the president who grunted standing up from his seat. “An attack, in your estimation how many are there?”
“One.”
Chuuya casually strolled through the tunnel disconnecting cameras and destroying turrets “I’ll cut to the chase, we could do this the easy way or we could do this the hard way.” He phased out some more cameras for emphasis “I’ve come to trade information. My boss has a special gift for you if I get to have a little chat with (Y/N).” Ranpo immediately turned to you as you froze. This wasn’t how it was supposed to go. Why does Chuuya know your name, unless, did Dazai actually tell him you said hi? Did he really set you up again! You groaned at the very realistic possibility, rubbing your face with your hand. You were going to strangle him the next time you saw him. You gave Ranpo and the president a reassuring look that you were fine with it. Chuuya held up the picture of Lovecraft and Steinbeck letting everyone get a good look at them “Those men are they members of the guild?”
“That’s right we reeled them in with bait. Here’s the time and location they’ll appear. You don’t get many chances like this do you? You can finally get one over on that lousy guild”
Fukuzawa was mulling it over but before he could ask any questions you growled. You decided to move things along “The mafia used Haruno and Naomi as bait, the guild has no idea it’s a set up and the mafia doesn’t have to do anything but sit and watch. Ranpo can confirm but we can’t waste too much time.” You stood up trying to figure out what your next course of action should be. This was interesting.
Fukuzawa turned to Ranpo as the detective grit his teeth “It is, unfortunately.” The president nodded at you to go have your chat before Chuuya changed his mind on being peaceful. You stopped halfway out the door, a thought occurred to you. “In the event I get kidnapped, don't go after me. I’ll be returned unharmed.” At least you hoped, whether or not they took your word you’d have no idea. Yosano and Kenji stepped back letting you confront Chuuya head on. “I take it you heard about me from the mackerel?” You hoped that neither of your colleagues knew Dazai by that moniker. Chuuya’s eyes had a glint in them. “All you have to do is see my hands right?” He looked over your shoulder as Yosano held her guarded stance ready to strike if needed.
“We’ll see what I can do with this lighting but yeah that’s the gist of it.”
Slowly Chuuya pulled each finger out of the glove as you approached but the moment you touched his hand just as you expected he threw you over his shoulder with ease. He kicked off the ground avoiding the attacks from behind you. “Don’t worry I’ll return her to you eventually.” He shouted as he bolted out of the tunnel. You huffed “Why am I not surprised?”
“Most people would be terrified to be kidnapped by a port mafia executive, just how much do you know about me?” You shifted in his arms but he gripped you tighter. Obviously there was no point in trying to struggle but you wanted to see his face. “More than you’d want me too. Can you at least princess carry me or let me ride on your back so I can see your hands? I'd prefer to be back as soon as possible.” Once you made it out of the tunnel he set you down “What are you going on about?”
“I wasn’t sure how far away you were going to take me. I would prefer not to worry my comrades further. Thank you very much.” You grabbed his hands pretending to look them over when you remembered a small detail from the stormbringer light novel and stage play. You focused on Chuuya’s right hand looking at his wrist seeing the pencil scar. Clones are only made of the same genetic materials but any scars or tattoos wouldn’t be copied over even if “N” said there would be no way to prove it, this could be good enough to sway Chuuya. First though you wanted to do something else. You looked back up at him affectionately squeezing his hand as you pulled him into a hug.
“What are you doing?” he was stiff, more confused if this was how your talent worked. Once you nuzzled into him he started trying to push you off. “Compensation for the minor kidnapping but also after seeing what I saw holyshit, you need this more than I do.” He continued to put up a fight “Enough already!”
Pouting you sighed “Fine, fine I’ll talk. You want to know if I could see whether or not you’re human, yes? Although you have no reason to believe me nor do I have any reason to tell you the truth, I do know the answer but you’ll have to do something for me in return for the honest truth. Seem fair?” You have no idea what the hell Dazai even told Chuuya but maybe you could have this work out in your favor. “Depends on what it is, I’m not going to agree without knowing what I’m getting myself into.” He grumbled but you but there was a slight interest in his expression, you could work with that.
“Do you wanna help me mess with Dazai?”
He paused for a second letting your offer sink in. “Hah?”
“Well, you see we’ve been playing a game and I don’t plan on losing anytime soon. I’ll need your phone number and a picture of us kissing so that when things settle down I can leave my phone near Dazai, have you call it and hopefully Dazai being Dazai he’ll snoop through my phone and see it.”
You could see the gears turning in his head as a wicked smirk overtook his features “I like where you’re going but I don’t think you’ll get the reaction you're looking for. Lucky for you I have a better idea.” He chuckled darkly to himself like he’s been waiting for this kind of opportunity for a while.
“So are you in?” You put your hand out to shake on it. He immediately took your hand. “I would have done this for free, too bad I won’t be able to see the bastard when it happens.”
“Good, now I’ll get to the point. You’re the original, but you really didn’t need me to tell you that you have humanity gushing from your pores but if you do need proof,” You grabbed his arm tracing the mark “That’s no birthmark, that’s pencil lead from before you were taken to the lab. If you were a clone only your genetic material from your birth would be copied bottom line is you wouldn’t have this mark. N lied to you because he wanted you to give up Arahabaki.”
Chuuya didn’t seem that flabbergasted. He might have already come to terms with his humanity since he’s never truly needed to know the answer. Maybe this was just closure for the flag’s honor. Almost like a debt he needed to repay. It’s sad to say that Chuuya puts himself so low on the priority pyramid. It was extremely faint but you could see the hint of a smile on his lips as he glanced up to the sky taking a deep breath.
“For my end of the bargain you’re just going to have to trust me.” He started putting his gloves back on offering you his hand when he was finished. “But of course! An enemy of an enemy is thy friend.”
Your squad would have to wait a little longer for your return. It’s not like they needed you at the moment. Chuuya ended up taking you to his apartment. It was spacious and astonishingly well kept. You whistled “Nice place. So what’re we doing?” He led you into the bedroom and started undressing. You blinked, um what the fuck was going on. You were starting to regret asking him for help. Chuuya still had his pants on, thank god, but he even discarded his choker. What the fuck were you guys doing? He shuffled the bedding a little bit while he spoke. “We’re gonna one up your idea. Take your shirt off, you can leave the bra on just hide the straps that will really send it home.”
Oh you see what he was doing now. You spend no time removing your clothes getting under the covers with him. This was a much better idea. He pulled you close, fluffing your hair to make it messier. “Okay now pretend to be asleep.” You did as you were told and let him take the picture. He ended up taking a few and you both decided on which one looked more scandals. It really looked like the morning after adult festivities. Once you were satisfied you set it as Chuuya’s contact photo. You had him call you for good measure to make sure that it popped up on the screen. It was perfect. You both snickered when the trap was ready. Now all you had to do was wait. You were prepared for the long con. Afterwards, like he promised, he returned you to the agency where Ranpo gave you an ear full. He had finally read your note. You are going to have to be more careful from now on.

I'm surprised I haven't seen this yet. But if all sanses must be ranked for smooches. We can't forget who started it all.
So UT sans
Just regular old sans. Tell us the rating! Come on it must be good? Right?!
Sans Classic gets an 11! It’s not the absolute best rating he could get, but it’s pretty damn close
1) Is Sans’ mouth dangerous? From the looks of it, nope. His teeth are flat, so there’s very little risk of your lips getting pinched or cut or anything. That being said, he gets 2 points for safety
2) Would he bite? Frankly,, I can’t see him being a biter. Even when he’s surprised, he seems like he’d be more likely to teleport away than chomp down on your lip. Is he aggressive? Like anyone else, he can be kinda aggressive if the situation calls for it and there’s no other way to handle said situation, but still. This is a smooch, not a surprise attack. If you smooched him, I can’t see him getting aggressive about it. For being chill and not biting people, he gets 2 points
3) Are there any health hazards to the smoocher? Unless ketchup and/or hotdog water breath counts, then no, he’s perfectly safe. He could be a little smelly if he didn’t shower that day and was in dire need of it, but that’s not something that poses a risk to anyone’s wellbeing. 2 more points for not being a walking health code violation
4) Does Sans have a sympathetic backstory? We don’t actually know much about that. He’s very mysterious about his past, and all we know is that he used to be a scientist, and that he’s probably the one financially supporting himself and Papyrus. He did agree to take care of Frisk and he does a fairly good job of that, even if there was a time when he did kinda sorta threaten them. Since there’s not much information about how he and Papyrus grew up or what kind of childhood they had, he won’t be getting full points, sadly. I’ll give him 1 point though, because lord knows it’s not easy raising and supporting a younger sibling
5) Does he deserve a smooch? He typically looks like he’s being lazy and doesn’t seem to do very much, but I’m inclined to believe that he actually does a lot more than we get to see. He works at multiple little pop up stalls/vendors throughout the game, he basically gets stuck babysitting some random kid that he knows nothing about for however long (and he’s a pretty good sport about that, all things considered), and then he’s the final defense In judgement hall, keeping Chara/the player from getting to Asgore if they’re deemed dangerous. His puns and gremlin behavior could get old pretty fast, but with all that he does, yeah, I’d say he deserves a smooch. He gets 2 more points for all of that
6) Is he cute or cool? I’m not sure if I’d call him cute, but he does deserve something for being the original, and the reason why his AU counterparts exist. He’s the start of all of it, so even if he’s a little basic in design and seems pretty lazy with a decently apathetic personality, he’s still cool enough to get points here for this area. 2 points for being the OG garbage boy stink man that everyone knows and loves
In total, his smooch-ability rating is an 11 out of 12. He’s a safe one to smooch, assuming you don’t mind his potentially stinky breath. The worst he’d probably do is ask you not to do it again, and the best thing that could happen is that he’d allow it and then proceed to get flustered and blushy, and attempt to play it off with some joke or pun that he thinks is relevant at the moment

I'm curious and can't remember if you've talked about/been asked about this before, sorry if I'm asking you to repeat yourself, but what are your thoughts on the entire 'Catwalker' situation that happened in Kuro Neko? And how would you handle that plot yourself?
So I did go into Catwalker a little bit here, and that was mostly on the subject of Adrien's feelings and the fact that it's understandable that he'd do that. He didn't put anyone in danger because he returned the Miraculous, but it was what he thought was better for his mental health which is a good choice!
As for my criticisms and how I'd change it......
I think I'd just delete the 'Catwalker' part of the episode entirely. Like, hear me out for a second.
Adrien was tired and fed up with how Ladybug kept leaving him out and treating him like a replaceable tool.
Coming back as a new identity would put him in exactly the same position. Like /maybe/ he would assume that the problem was 'Chat' and not that LB is just.... very much not down for sharing. But what does 'Catwalker' do for helping Adrien get past this issue?
So just skip that.
Instead:
Another Akuma happens, and Marinette is forced to give the Black Cat to someone else because she can't figure out a permanent solution or how to get Chat back(since she can't talk this out.)
Maybe we get Alya as Alley Chat. Maybe we get Zoé as Kitty Noire. Maybe we get the Nino as Black Magic to counterpart Alya's Scarabella like we fucking deserve!!
Anyway! Who she picks really doesn't matter. But she has to get someone, because she needs a Black Cat. The fight goes off completely fine! It's great! No disasters! A little bumpy because the new Cat is inexperienced and LB's used to Chat, but perfectly fine and it could work even better with time!
And at first, this hurts Adrien. It proves his fears and insecurities right. He is replaceable. Anyone could use the Black Cat and save the day.
But something happens to cause.... basically the Ladrien version of Glaciator 2's Marichat. Maybe an Akuma is targeting Adrien so Ladybug and Alley/Kitty/Magic are playing bodyguard while waiting for the Akuma to show up.
During this, Ladybug opens up to Adrien. She doesn't spill /everything/ because 'he's a random civilian'. But she admits that she fucked up. That she was so scared of what would happen if she shared everything with Chat. That the idea that she has to keep everything secret and take on every burden is just so ingrained in her, especially after some incidents, that it fucked up everything. She loved Chat(platonically ofc) and she trusted him, but she didn't trust herself.
Adrien is, of course, shocked by this news. And to see her so distruaght. He asks about Alley/Kitty/Magic. Aren't they a suitable replcement?
Yes, they 'work'. But Ladybug doesn't care. She wants Chat back.
Adrien gives his honest advice on the situation: figure out a way to talk to Chat Noir. Tell him all those things she wanted to tell him. Resolve to work on those issues instead of shutting them down, but work on them together.
The rest of the Akuma stuff happens. Adrien gets to be helpful as himself yadda yadda.
Later, Marinette tells Plagg to go back to whoever Chat Noir is. Ask him to show up for just one last conversation with her. If he still wants to call it quits after that, at least let her say goodbye properly.
Ofc Chat does show up. And he's not sure what to expect on if LB took the advice or not. But she does. She explains as much as she can in one go. How scared she was. How she's the type to just deal with things all on her own and stubbornly refuse to ask for help or even let people help. She even tells him about Chat Blanc, how she doesn't know exactly what lead to that so even when she /did/ break and ask for help, she was too scared to choose him to tell because 'what if this leads to that'?
And despite all of this, she would rather risk that. Because she can't imagine a world without him by her side.
Chat's a bit thrown by the info dump, especially the Chat Blanc thing. But he's glad she told him. He's glad to hear how much he genuinely means to her(yes even as just a friend).
They resolve to work on this, and work on it together.

Obbligato: In Praise of Folly - 4
Writer: Akira
Season: Spring, two years ago
Characters: Ibara, Nagisa, Hiyori
Proofreading: Remi + 310mc (JP) & Skyress (ENG)
Translation: Peace & hyenahunt
Nagisa: … He guided the others to Heaven, on the condition that he is the only one who falls into the depths of Hell.
[Read on my blog for the best viewing experience with Oi~ssu ♪]
Ibara: Allow me to explain a little more thoroughly. The "idol association" Mr. Tatsumi Kazehaya set out to establish was quite successful at first.
As it became more recognized by the industry as a whole, it seemed to spiral positively upward with new jobs coming in one after the other.
Those who had difficulty finding work, whether they were Non-Special Students or their Special counterparts, or even alumni of Reimei Academy and the like, heard of its reputation and fell into it...
And, once enfolded, the association grew to become a powerful influence in Reimei Academy itself. Almost abnormally so, one could say.
However, as the two of you both know, the idol industry is, at the moment, at a decline — we've fallen into a recession.
Nagisa: ... Right. That's why a revolution was necessary.
... I suppose the growing sentiment of revolution at both Yumenosaki and Reimei Academy was necessitated by the times themselves.
Hiyori: It feels like the end of an era, doesn't it? [1]
Ibara: Fufu. Since the industry is on its last legs, the availability of idol work has been decreasing.
As such, while there's been a gradual stream of it flowing into the association itself... There are simply too many idols desiring the same jobs.
However, Mr. Tatsumi Kazehaya believes wholeheartedly in "equality" and "fairness" despite this state of affairs...
... And has refused to compromise on his beliefs, which isn't all that surprising given his unyielding faith and ideology.
What do you think such stubbornness resulted in?
Ibara: A hellish situation, of course!
To put it simply, the man began to handle every bit of work that rolled in himself.
Not a single other person in that association works "fairly". Not a single one of them works at all, in fact.
Everyone else except Mr. Tatsumi Kazehaya lives “fairly” without lifting a single finger.
Nagisa: ... I see. In that case, it certainly does seem that all but Tatsumi Kazehaya are being treated "fairly", then.
Ibara: Indeed. And after Mr. Tatsumi Kazehaya works hard to the bone, all those rewards are “equally” distributed to everyone but him.
Hiyori: Ahahahahaha!
Whatever on Earth? This is reality you speak of, and not a fairy tale nor fable, yes? How can someone like that truly exist?
Ibara: He very much does. Though I found it difficult to believe myself, Mr. Tatsumi Kazehaya is "The Happy Prince" personified. [2]
He took on an overwhelming amount of work all on his own — despite it being unfathomable for one person to manage on their own — and then shared the results of that work with everyone else, leaving no reward for himself.
Nagisa: ... How amazing. There truly is a guarantee of "fairness" and "equality" in that case.
... Every person is treated "fairly" by not having a job to work, save for Tatsumi Kazehaya who works for all.
... While at the same time, every person is "equal" in being given the same reward as the next, save for Tatsumi Kazehaya who asks for naught.
... By taking on every bit of "inequality" and "unfairness" that others would face, he has limited each quality to only his own existence and become the necessary "exception" in order to make his ideal a reality.
... I understand clearly now. How awe-inspiring. To think that such a person could truly exist.
… He guided the others to Heaven, on the condition that he is the only one who falls into the depths of Hell.
Ibara: Precisely so. Well, when I first heard about it myself and sought to confirm such a thing, I really had a laugh about it!
I nearly cried then, thinking "There's no way, right? Is he an idiot? He must be out of his mind!" ♪
Hiyori: That's in terrible taste, I must say. Personally, I think this boy is truly remarkable.
At the very least, he differs vastly from Eichi-kun, or rather, from all of us in fine... He sacrificed himself for the sake of those ideals he so deeply believed in.
This Tatsumi Kazehaya truly wanted to make everyone happy, didn't he?
Ibara: Yes, haha, it truly is most interesting! ♪ In a way, he's the very antithesis of a "money-maddened" manager like myself—
And so, I do not understand nor sympathize with that ideology of his.
Religion truly is an amazing thing, isn't it? Through it, anyone at all can imitate such outrageous ideas.
If we could put it to better use, then there's little we wouldn't be able to do.
Well, putting that aside... Due to Mr. Tatsumi Kazehaya's saintly behavior, there's unfortunately not a soul in the world who could hope to understand him.
Nagisa: ... That's true, isn't it?
... I have been told by others that they don't understand what I'm thinking as well. Perhaps society felt the same about him.
Ibara: I'm sure. To make matters worse, he's someone who won't change the way he lives no matter who asks it of him.
For example, let's say that someone who loves Mr. Tatsumi Kazehaya offers to help share the burden because it's far too much for one person to handle.
Or perhaps that person wishes Mr. Tatsumi Kazehaya would take on some of the reward himself, and rather than accept his share, he would give it up to that saint instead...
Hiyori: In all practicality, I'm sure there were many such cases. After all, no one would feel good about only ever being on the receiving end of such dedication and generosity.
There's no way one could feel nothing when witnessing the unwavering form of Tatsumi Kazehaya, working himself to the bone for their sake.
Ibara: Indeed. But that Mr. Tatsumi Kazehaya rejected their offers altogether.
Ibara: "That wouldn't be equal," he'd say, or maybe even "That wouldn't be fair to you" — Ahahahaha! ☆

1. Akira references Japanese history in the original line: "It feels like the final days of the Tokugawa shogunate."
2. The Happy Prince is a short story by American author Oscar Wildes. In it, a man who was unable to be sorrowful was dubbed the titular name and died being only known for that. Once becoming a statue, he began to see the misery of his city and sought to sacrifice pieces of himself to ensure their happiness with help from a Swallow. After giving away all he could, however, the town tore the statue down due to his now shabby appearance. Swallow, who had put off migrating to Egypt for the winter, died after assisting the Happy Prince with all his good deeds. Read it here.

Katelyn in MCD and PDH's Personalit
Katelyn in MCD and Katelyn in PDH are such different people but fundamentally they are the same. MCD Katelyn is described as having a level head and being someone in control of her emotions which PDH Katelyn is the polar opposite, she's someone who has trouble keeping her emotions in check.
MCD Katelyn is someone who loves the people around her and she's someone who has trouble opening up emotionally with people for fear of worrying them. She wants to keep people safe, it's a part of who she is as a person and her moral compass is what dictates her life unlike many other characters in MCD.
PDH Katelyn is different from this though, she loves her friends but she doesn't hold back from telling them things that might hurt them because she simply doesn't think those types of things through. She's rash with her actions and she isn't able to think ahead which is very telling when she's compared to her counterpart in MCD, someone who's been made to harm people and obey the commands of someone she hates simply because she doesn't have another choice and for fear that her family who she hasn't communicated with since she became a part of the Jury of Nine, will be harmed. MCD Katelyn is docile, not because that's her natural personality, we know it's not because we've seen PDH Katelyn's personality a lot more than MCD Katelyn's and PDH Katelyn is someone who hasn't yet been hindered by life, duty, and obligations. PDH Katelyn is someone in her most natural state, and by taking away some of her more childish characteristics we can see what MCD Katelyn would have been if she hadn't been a part of the Jury of Nine and someone who had to worry about staying alive in a place full of treacherous people who would kill her if given the command.
MCD and PDH Katelyn are one of the best examples of how circumstance can change you. PDH Katelyn is a child and she acts accordingly, she doesn't keep a level head even later into her life, during Mystreet unlike MCD Katelyn who is probably around Katelyn's age in Mystreet who acts cold and is unable to speak out freely because it's just too much for her to handle. One of my favorite parts about Katelyn in every universe is how she's so drastically different in each of them. She is one of the biggest victims of circumstance in this entire journey of Jess's Minecraft roleplays and I think it's very fitting.
Everything Katelyn does in both universes comes from a place of deep love and understanding. They are both people who worry about those around them even if they go about it in different ways. She's been one of my favorite characters to analyze right next to Travis and Aphmau's dynamic so far because of how complex her situation and lives were both in MCD and PDH.
Sorry for any spelling errors as always, I really want to do more about Katelyn in MCD and PDH but I don't know how to do that and put down my thoughts into words really well. I have so much more to say but I can't think of any ways to say it lol so this is going to have to do.
