Today...is a very special and important day for me, folks~ππThree years ago, a certain special troll became the highlight of my 2020 during rough times and immediately won my heart from the moment I knew he would have his own destiny and journey to find others like him...and his family.
Since the first Trolls movie, I have always admired dearly him from afar and the moment I saw him during the Trolls World Tour trailer, my heart literally poured out him and I have truly loved him for just being his wonderful, lovable self ever since~ππ₯Ή
And that certain special troll, is none other than...Cooper~ππβ¨
I have always been a big fan of him and heβs always been my favourite troll to begin with but every time I see him and hear him, my heart always beats so much for him, making it aflutter and words cannot describe how special he is to me...how he means the whole world to me~πππππI mean...can you blame me? >//w//`< How could I resist and say no to such an adorable face to go with such a darling like him??πππππ
Cooper is more than just the goofball that we all know and love...heβs my goofball and so much more...~π₯ΉThe most amazing troll with such talent, a unique voice and a dazzling yet loving royal family to go with him...~πCooper is also the prince of my heart, who deserves all the love and happiness in the world...and I feel so blessed to be the one to give it all to him, along with my heart~π₯°πππ₯°
April 24th 2020 was the day I drew Cooper for the very first time, and when I started shipping myself with him. And together, him and I have remained strong and inseparable ever since!π«Άπ»ππWeβve had such happy memories together - becoming part of his world and family, sharing one anotherβs lives and music, even officially marrying and creating our own dear little life together~β¨πππβ¨And I wish to keep on loving Cooper forevermore~ππ
Which is why I dedicate this very special piece above (with a textless version too) to us, inspired by one of my favourite scenes in TWT - where King Quincy and Queen Essence were happily together with their twin eggs (before our dear Cooper was cruelly snatched away from themπ) and I wished to capture that tender moment between Cooper and I, with our darling Toby's egg nestled warmly within my hair~π₯°
EEEEEEE~!!ππ€©πI am so, sooooo happy and truly over the moon of how all of this turned out~!ππ₯ΉπJust how I imagined it, especially Cooper snuggling against me with his neck wrapped around me as we lovingly embrace one another, feeling like the proud parents we are~ππππI am also chuffed with the cherry blossoms I drew to make the bed cover look more prettier~πΈ
I would like to deeply and gratefully thank many wonderful peeps out there for helping bring my beloved OTP to life, such as my lovely @x-elyssa-x, KaitlinEXE, @gloryraiin, @jaguardorado16, @vampireflowerarts, @zoey-nillesen, @king-trollex-fangirl, @glitchy-witchy1994, @blooeyedtroll, @kittyball23, @angoraram, @yeenstrollart, @asa-de-ouro, @whiteflame-selfship and many more, for all the beautiful commissions, gift art and loving support you have given me over the past four years, and for putting all your fantastic work and effort, and heart and soul into every single one which I absolutely love to this very day~ππππππππ
I canβt thank you all and the rest of the Trolls Fandom enough for how amazing and welcoming youβve all been to me when I first jumped onto the bandwagon, and I am so happy I did too!ππ€Thank-you all so much for everything, including all the dear friends Iβve made and all the loving supporters I have gained - bless you all and donβt stop being awesome~!βπ»π€©β¨π
And finally, thank-you ever so much for everything, Cooper...my cupcake king and sweet jellybean~π©·βπ§π«For always being there for me, making me feel such love and happiness I never could imagine~ππ₯°πI am truly blessed and the luckiest lass alive to such a wonderful darling like you in my life and by my side~πππͺ½U///w///U
ππβπβππ~Happy 4th Anniversary, Cooper...my beloved prince, my one & only...~ I love you so much with all my heart, more than life itself...and I will keep on loving you so, forevermore and beyond~ππβπβππ

*KICKS THE DOOR DOWN* WWWAIT FREYA I HAVE MIXED FEELINGS ON FANDOMS VIEW OF THIS SHIP I NEED TO KNOW UR OPINION. HOMUMIKU???
WKSHJSHJDBJHAHAHAH HIIIII, GRACE!!!! β€οΈππππππππππππ
Homumiko (HUGE spoilers for DGS after the bingo sheet):
I have been waiting to get into this ship properly, because I have THOUGHTS and I need to be forced to get them out coherently.
Let's get into the basic ship itself. Honestly? No comment. I think hmmk cheats a bit by relying on the literal decades people have spent shipping Holmes and Watson together, and I doubt that they would be half as popular without this history; but, as someone who has never had strong feelings about HolmesWatson either way, I don't have that bias! Even if we're just going off of DGS and looking at how they complement and trust each other, and are obviously more comfortable around one another than most other people, I don't really have a strong opinion on them. I do think they're close, but whether that bond is platonic, romantic, sexual or some mix of the two is just not something I particularly care about. You know who I do care about, though?
Susato-san.
OKAY, SIT DOWN, EVERYONE BECAUSE THE SHIP BINGO PART OF THIS IS OVER, AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE PARTS OF HMMK I DO CARE ABOUT AND WHY THAT ACTUALLY HAS VERY LITTLE TO DO WITH THEM AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH HER.
Let's get this out of the way first. Based on my very modern sensibilities, I take a rather harsh stance on Mikotoba's parenting.
Do I think he loves his daughter? Sure. But which parts of his daughter? Because it's very easy to love a child who is always obedient, elegant and the literal embodiment of idealised Japanese womanhood without knowing or truly even looking at her. I think Susato made it easy for him to love her, because she believed she had to earn it. Her father left when she was born, consumed by grief over her mother's death -- her mother, whom she killed. I know the game tries to justify this by saying it was Jigoku who dragged him away (and I do think him leaving was good for him, because I doubt he would have been a good father even if he'd stayed due to his grief), but the point is that he still left. For six years. And when he returned, he didn't even return because of her (whether she knew that from the moment she met him or not is debatable, but I think, at least on a subconscious level, she knew. And, of course, it's also debatable whether he could have returned sooner because of his commitment as a transfer student, but the Mikotobas are a powerful family, and, if Soseki could return before his period of learning was fully up, I think he would have been able to pull strings to return home if he wanted to).
This falls under speculation, so I understand not agreeing with it, but I don't think Mikotoba ever properly spoke to Susato when she was a child, especially not about what he did in England. I believe that a part of the reason why Susato started reading the Sherlock Holmes stories to begin with was because they featured a doctor in London, like her father had been, and she wanted to feel closer to him through those stories. And it probably worked! Her father probably did start engaging with her more after after she picked them up, because it was an easy way to connect with her. That's why I believe she was so insistent on the existence of John H. Watson, as a doctor, when she met Iris and learnt the truth.
There's this distance between Susato and her father which glimpse in moments in the game, like how he remarks on her lack of composure in court (suggesting that he isn't used to seeing her yamato nadeshiko mask slip), how he less requests her trust and more orders or expects it forthright, and how he seems reluctant to face the parts of her that inconvenience him (like how he asks her to play the koto when he isn't home and how, when faced by her real anger, he looks to Holmes to explain the situation rather than actually attempt to himself).
HOWEVER, in the setting of the game (Meiji-era Japan), I will concede that Mikotoba is a fantastic father. He may not have been very present in her life growing up, but men largely weren't expected to be. Their jobs were to provide for their children, not nurture them. And Mikotoba went well beyond his duty in that regard. Add to that the fact that he had her properly educated, ensured she knew how to defend herself, and allowed her to pursue her studies overseas at a level that was on par with any man, and you can see that he's really quite a great father; which is why I don't think he sees his absence as a flaw or even notices he was absent. Susato, though, does.
Now, Susato is obviously a product of her time, too, so I believe she'd be insulted if anyone was to suggest that her father or childhood was lacking in some way. That being said, I do believe she is aware of the distance between them in a way he is not. I think her affection for him is founded on a sense of duty and filial piety rather than pure love (although, obviously, she does love him), and, as she grew older, she stopped vying for his affection; hence why she's obsessed with the Great Detective more so than anyone else when we meet her. I also think that this distance contributed to her becoming so attached to Kazuma, in spite of the fact that he kept her at arm's length, too; he may not have allowed her very close, but he was always there, and he saw her for who she truly was. When she leaves at the end of the first game, Susato is not so much anxious that her father is ill as she is shaken -- she seems more upset that she's leaving her Baker Street family rather than that her actual father might be dying, and I think that's because she knows how to live without him. This distance between them, I believe, becomes all the more apparent to her when she goes to London and sees the deep bond held between Iris and Holmes.
And, speaking of, you know who else I think is aware of the distance between them and the part he played in creating that distance? The Great Detective himself, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
See, I think Holmes has always known about Susato. I'm quite sure that, from the moment they met, he knew that Mikotoba was running away from something and that he had left an infant daughter back home. He just didn't care.
We don't know what Holmes was like when he was younger, but I believe he was a lot closer to how he appears in a lot of modern adaptations and how Watson describes him in some of the Sherlock Holmes stories: the 'cold, calculating computer' character. I don't think it's a stretch to think that Holmes viewed marriage and children as mere distractions and interferences to the mind; and Mikotoba was, presumably, his first real friend. He wasn't going to let something pesky like a baby back home detract from his friend's obviously sterling character and brain! After all, it's a lot easier to ignore this nebulous, abstract entity when you simply consider its existence, and thus its abandonment, unimportant. It's a lot easier when you don't know what it's like to be a father yourself. It's a lot easier when you don't know her.
Here's the thing: I believe Holmes's image of and relation to Mikotoba began changing from the time he started raising Iris. Suddenly, that inconsequential baby seemed to bear quite a bit of consequence, actually. But it was still all right to keep dismissing her, because maybe Mikotoba's baby wasn't special the way Iris was. Maybe she was a brat or an idiot, and really not worth much time at all! Maybe she could've lived without him and been perfectly fine, regardless...? As time went on, I believe the excuses he made for Mikotoba's decision all those years ago became increasingly flimsy, but he was still able to hold onto them because The Daughter was still an indistinct figure in his mind. She wasn't quite real.
That is, until he met her.
In the game, Holmes tends to keep a certain width between himself and Susato. He very rarely initiates conversation with her the way he does Ryuunosuke, and from a Doylist (ha) perspective, this is obviously because Ryuunosuke is... the main character. Looking at it from a narrative perspective, though, I think he was afraid of hurting more than he already has and must.
Holmes is a very resolute man. He sticks by his decisions regardless of what anyone else thinks, so I don't think he ever regretted what he did. However, I do think he felt guilty. Certainly, he didn't quite take her father away from her, but he did play a role in keeping him from her for so long. I think there was a part of him that consciously guided Mikotoba away from thinking about Japan while they lived together, because, well... he didn't want him to leave.
There's an interesting layer to the separation that Holmes creates with Susato, because, beyond the distance he maintains between her and himself, he also keeps her identity separate from her father's. Contrary to how he refers to Ryuunosuke by his last name, Holmes only ever calls Susato "Miss Susato" or "my dear (madame)", and never "Miss Mikotoba". I view this is his way of, perhaps subconsciously, dividing from that little girl he once decided did not matter. And it's interesting because, to an extent, he tries to do with her and Kazuma, too.
In the SS Burya case, despite meeting Susato first and seeing how affected she is by Kazuma's "death", Holmes largely ignores her in favour of focusing on Ryuunosuke and his bond with Kazuma. He calls Kazuma Ryuunosuke's "dear companion" and pretty much only interacts with Susato when he has little other choice... until he sees her cry.
See, I believe that when Holmes found out Susato was going to England and was about to be wrapped up in the whole messy affair, he was fully committed to Not Giving a Damn about Her. Sure, he would let her and Kazuma live with him, but by no means was he going to allow himself to grow attached to her because, again, he values his relationship and history with Mikotoba too much for it to get complicated in this way. Susato's relative composure throughout the case helps him hold on to this resolution; however, when he catches that final conversation between her and Ryuunosuke in the cabin, he is finally forced to see and acknowledge the amount of pain she is truly in. It forces him to at last face the fact that he can't avoid or fake aloofness around her any longer, because she is not some nebulous, distant entity he can continue to ignore. She is an actual girl with a fiercely strong spirit, a brilliant mind and real, human emotions. A girl whom he's hurt twice-over now and must continue hurting until all his lies finally come to light.
When he makes that decision to enter the cabin and console her the only way he knows how, he throws away any hope he had of feeling anything but apathy towards her. In truth, he probably didn't have much hope of that to begin with, because at his core, Sherlock Holmes is a good man, and he cares.
He cares for her, too, even though he may have no right to. How could he not, when she loves him so openly, trusts him so readily, saves his life? How could he not, when she comes to him in the middle of the night with a secret she can't tell anyone else because his judgement is the only one she wholly trusts and believes in? How could he not, when she refuses to accept he lied despite the living, breathing evidence he did until he admits it himself? How could he not, when after everything he has done, she still looks at him the way she always has and says that she's proud that her father is the assistant of "the Great Detective"?
How could anyone not? How could Mikotoba not... love her the second he laid eyes on her?
And of course this doesn't shatter his love for Mikotoba -- he has no right to these feelings in the first place: no matter how indignant or guilty he may feel, it doesn't change the fact that he has been lying to and manipulating her the entire time they've known one another. He can't even bring himself to tell her that he's been lying; he has to go through Ryuunosuke instead, because, even after all this time, he still can't face the woman whom he's done nothing but cause pain for from the moment she was born. When he can't even give her that ounce of respect, who is he to judge Mikotoba?
So he doesn't. Till the end of the game, he keeps Susato at a distance and pretends that everything between him and Mikotoba is as it was from the start. But, inside, I think he knows it isn't. Because I think Holmes can see that Mikotoba doesn't feel half as guilty about what they've done as he does, and that he doesn't view the fact that he left Susato 16 years ago as a real problem. And while he doesn't judge Mikotoba for that, I don't think he can look past it anymore. That final investigation and dance of deduction, to me, is less an assurance that they are still the same partners they were before, and more a final farewell to their old, uncomplicated bond -- the one that did exist before they grew to love other people and understand what love truly meant to both of them.
Going back to the ship itself, I think shipping them pre-DGS works perfectly well. They both had a huge impact on each other's life and changed one another for the better; Holmes by drawing Mikotoba out from his grief, and Mikotoba by pulling Holmes from his life of solitude and loneliness. They needed each other, but it is also because of these reasons that I think there was an issue of codependency between them, hence the semi-horrible for each other box I gave them. With Mikotoba, it's clear cut. Holmes helped him run away from his very real issues at home and allowed him to live like he was a bachelor with zero familial obligations again. With Holmes, it gets a bit more foggy, but I believe that Mikotoba basically allowed him to live believing he was the only person Holmes would ever truly connect with and properly befriend. Holmes is obviously his own person and whatnot, but I do think there was a bit of unhealthy attachment there on his end if not both.
During DGS and post-DGS is where their ship gets more complicated for me, because, while Susato is still very much there at the beginning of their relationship, her role in their lives and what they did to her becomes impossible to ignore once she and Holmes actually meet. I don't believe that they can just pick up from where they left off because there is now (imo) a fundamental disagreement in how they view their actions and how it affected her. So, even if they do go back to being lovers or whatever afterwards, I feel that there should be this chasm or weight between them that they simply don't talk about or acknowledge in any way. Because I don't think they'd discuss it. Holmes because it isn't his place, Mikotoba because he sees it as a non-issue (maybe he doesnt even notice this distance), and both because sweeping unpleasantness under the rug is so ingrained into their cultures.
My main issue with the way this ship is often portrayed post-DGS (why they got a 50-50 on the I would erase them from existence box) is that it ignores what happened with Susato. The few times I've seen the concern that she might have an issue with their relationship even brought up in hmmk works is always because they're gay. Which, like!! Fair!!! It's the 1800s, I get it, but!!!! You're ignoring the actual, very big issue for why she might be hurt and that's because DGS ends with her finding out that three of the men she's closest to have been lying and using her for their own means her entire life!!!!!!!! And she just has to take it!!!!!!!
Which brings me to the second most popular interpretation of this ship which doesn't just put Iris and Susato in a box somewhere unseen, and that's the one where all four of them are a peaceful happy family with 0 issues! And this one bothers me because it seems like it's taking what Susato said at the end of the reveal as what she 100% sincerely meant down to her core, rather than something she had to say because (1) it is her duty to honour her father no matter what, and (2) because Iris was there. When she learns the entire truth, I don't think Susato knows what she truly thinks or feels about any of it; but she sees Iris, and she sees this little girl who was abandoned through her circumstances as a baby, named after her mother, and forced to grow up much sooner than she should have been, and she sees a girl who is more her sister than anyone else. So she does what she always has and tucks away her own emotions so she might tend to someone else's. She has been the perfect daughter her whole life; she can be the perfect sister.
Even if you don't subscribe to the, admittedly, harsh view of Mikotoba's parenting that I do, I don't see how you can get away from the fact that they still lied to her for a significant portion of time. Especially from Holmes, whom she trusted and believed in more than anyone else! In the face of his shoddy deductions, she still held onto her unwavering belief that he was a genius and a good man, and then it comes out that he's just been lying to her from the first day he met her. I just can't extract the ship from their treatment of Susato, so when I say that I would erase the ship from existence, it's mainly about these two bits. As with Asoryuu, the primary reason why I don't ship them personally is because I can't do that to her.
And, obviously, it's just shipping and fun and games, and everyone should feel free to ship whoever in whatever way they want bUT IN A SPECIAL WORLD MADE PERFECTLY FOR ME. iris would be perfectly oblivious, and susato would have tossed both holmes and mikotoba into the thames and left them to figure it out. In a world that must still vaguely make sense with the canon of the game, though, then Holmes would have given Mikotoba the boot and taken the kids; because he may be a coward, but at least I can see that he knows he fucked up, and he allows Susato to set the terms of their relationship, just like he does Iris.
Anyway, I'm so sorry for how long, convoluted and only tangentially-related to the ask this is, but thank you so much for it, Grace!!!! I don't think I quite got down what I meant precisely, but it's the closest to coherency I've ever gotten so. Thank you πππππππ

heyy do you have any comics you would recommend for arkham knight jason? nice profile pic btw :)
okay so. arkham knight jason only appears in two comics but those two comics are the best things to ever happen to me
first of all he shows up in the general Arkham Knight comics which i think are fun, theyβre not jason heavy since it takes place before the game and before the identity reveal but he does show up! and i read them and go βJASON β£οΈπππππππππππβ£οΈππβ whenever he does anything so itβs a win for me :) i lov when heβs allowed to be extremely competent and better than batman and the fun thing about the comics is that itβs showing how heβs one step ahead which is nice :β) i think itβs worth the read but itβs not very jason-centric
even if you donβt read all of those comics you HAVE to read the annual. it is so important to me and i am in love with it
and of course anyone thatβs been following me for a while knows exactly what iβm about to say;
Arkham Knight Genesis is the greatest comic book to ever exist and i believe with my whole heart that every single person should read it. i truly think itβs one of the best jason stories out of like. anything. and itβs so so so good. my beloved Dexter Soy does the art for like half of it so itβs very pretty and Peter J Tomasi wrote it and i usually like his writing so itβs a #win for me π itβs also only 6 issues so itβs not like a big Commitment to read and itβs just. so so good.

Sending love Rachelπ©·β€οΈπ§‘πππ©΅πππ€π©Άπ€π€ππβ£οΈππππππβ€οΈβπ₯
Rant to me about your favorite anime. Itβll help distract you
*catches the love* Oof, thank you friendo! I needed that ππ©·π
My favourite anime? Hmmm... I don't think I could pick just one. Noragami will always have a very special place in my heart. Always in my top 3 π₯°
The plot is so unique, and all the characters are so lovable.
In case you didn't know, the story follows an ancient God, Yato, who is struggling to stay in work in the modern world where no one wishes upon God's anymore. He now performs day to day tasks such as cleaning and store managing for anyone who will pay him, alongside cleansing demons that may plague the humans whilst living on the street. He meets a girl, Hiyori, who accidentally gains the power to leave her body and move around as a spirit.
Yato now must find a way to fix Hiyori whilst keeping work coming, slaying demons and making sure he isn't finished off by other gods along with his Regalia, a spirit boy named Yukine who can turn into a blade. The whole show retains a fairly lighthearted vibe throughout, with some serious fight scenes and drama thrown in. Much like the vibe in Demon slayer or Jujutsu kaisen.
The animation itself is beautiful. The characters are so expressive and full of personality! Yato especially. Voiced by the great Kamaya Hiroshi (Levi, Ranpo, Saiki) in sub and Jason Liebrecht (Dabi) in dub, Yato is truly a wonderful character in both worlds.
With his childish and happy-go-lucky side contrasting his 'I'm literally a God you should worship me' side, it's so amusing to see him desperately trying to scrape together every penny he can in order to get a cold beer. π₯°
Please. I beg. Watch Noragami πππ©΅ππ©΅ππ©΅ He's a silly, goofy, stinky street rat and I would do anything for him βΊοΈ

Today...is a very special and important day for me, folks~ππThree years ago, a certain special troll became the highlight of my 2020 during rough times and immediately won my heart from the moment I knew he would have his own destiny and journey to find others like him...and his family.
Since the first Trolls movie, I have always admired dearly him from afar and the moment I saw him during the Trolls World Tour trailer, my heart literally poured out him and I have truly loved him for just being his wonderful, lovable self ever since~ππ₯Ή
And that certain special troll, is none other than Cooper~ππβ¨
I have always been a big fan of him and heβs always been my favourite troll to begin with but every time I see him and hear him, my heart always beats so much for him, making it aflutter and words cannot describe how special he is to me...how he means the whole world to me~πππππI mean...can you blame me? >//w//`< How could I resist and say no to such an adorable face to go with such a darling like him??πππππCooper is more than just the goofball that we all know and love...heβs my goofball and so much more...the most amazing troll with such talent, a unique voice and a dazzling yet loving royal family to go with him...Cooper is also the prince of my heart, who deserves all the love and happiness in the world...and I feel so blessed to be the one to give it all to him, along with my heart~π₯°πππ₯°
April 24th 2020 was the day I drew Cooper for the very first time, and when I started shipping myself with him. And together, him and I have remained strong and inseparable ever since!π«ΆπWeβve had such happy memories together - becoming part of his world and family, sharing one anotherβs lives and music, even officially marrying and creating our own dear little life together~β¨πππ And I wish to keep on loving Cooper forevermore~ππ
Which is why I dedicate this very special piece above (with a textless version too) to us, inspired by a cute Trolls book called βSweet Dance Partyβ, a lovely heartfelt scene from the movie, Sing 2 and their version of our newest song addition to Coossyβs OTP song list (and one of my classic faves) -Β βI Say A Little Prayer For Youβ. And I also took part with my piece in my dear @x-elyssa-xβs colour challenge, who I deeply and gratefully thank for helping bring my beloved OTP to life, along with KaitlinEXE,Β @gloryraiin,Β @dagdasgoddess,Β @groovinyeen, @asa-de-ouro,Β @queenabstract, @zoey-nillesenβ,Β @angoraramΒ and many more for all the beautiful commissions, gift art and loving support you have given me over the past three years, and for putting all your fantastic work and effort, and heart and soul into every single one which I absolutely love to this very day~πππππ
I canβt thank you all and the rest of the Trolls Fandom enough for how amazing and welcoming youβve all been to me when I first jumped onto the bandwagon, and I am so happy I did too! ππ€Thank-you all so much for everything, including all the dear friends Iβve made and all the loving supporters I have gained - bless you all and donβt stop being awesome~!ββ¨π
And finally, thank-you ever so much for everything, Cooper...my cupcake king and sweet jellybean~πππ«For always being there for me, making me feel such love and happiness I never could imagine~ππ₯°π I am truly blessed and the luckiest lass alive to such a wonderful darling like you in my life and by my side~ππ U///w///U
ππβπβππ~Happy 3rd Anniversary, Cooper...my beloved prince, my one & only...I love you so much with all my heart, more than life itself...and I will keep on loving you so, forevermore and beyond~ππβπβππ

sometimes i think about like. that brief period after linus got the letter from DICOMY about βthe truthβ about arthur and like... the doubt he felt, the shame and insecurity of was it a lie all this time? how could you have ever believed theyβd really like you, want you, LOVE you? the idea that he was being used, that heβd slowly grown to trust them and care about them despite his efforts to remain professional but that they were using him the whole time, lying to him, and he had literally never considered it, but for the first time he thinks what if theyβre only being kind to me to manipulate me, what if i was foolish for ever thinking i could belong, that i wasnβt meant to be lonely? can i even blame arthur, if he thinks heβs protecting the children?
he imagines arthur saying no, no, children, we donβt need to kill him--we just need to make him care about us. make him love us. make him feel like he belongs. and then of course, heβd run along back and say exactly what they want and never come back to bother them. he imagines that heβd finally let his guard down for nothing, that arthur--arthur who heβs only just realizing heβd truly grown to trust and like--lied to him
and even as he doubts his doubt (what if itβs DICOMY whoβs lying?) itβs not just the idea that his bosses wouldnβt lie to him that pushes back (because he considers it, for the first time ever he considers theyβre wrong, and he does that for arthurβs sake, for the childrensβ sake, because he trusted them and he wants to believe them so badly) but itβs that he doubts his own judgement--not them, not DICOMY, but himself. is he really worthy of their kindness? their acceptance? their love? why would they really like him--plain, boring him (βiβm just me,β he says helplessly, just me) if there wasnβt an ulterior reason? why didnβt he question that from the start? because heβd known, heβd always known, that he meant to be alone. that heβd simply always be lonely. heβd been resigned to it for so long he barely even felt it anymore. and how had he let them push his buttons, let them make him feel wanted, without even once being suspicious? didnβt he know he just wasnβt the type of person to get that? handsome, mysterious men didnβt smile at him like that, people didnβt practically adopt him into their family like that--and didnβt it make perfect sense? if thereβd been a reason? if he was useful?
and like that horrible letter, with such just. blatantly, cruelly manipulative language--the repeated claims of we care about you, you matter to us, mr. baker, shield your heart, mr. baker, weβre worried about you, weβre here for you, when obviously they arenβt. they never were and never have been, and theyβre worried about power and control and money, not about his wellbeing. and like, the implications and reminders of if you get attached you are failing the children, and as iβm sure youβre aware itβd be against the rules to develop feelings or care for any of them, and the subtle threat disguised as concern in the psych eval (for your own piece of mind, of course) and like. the direct implication that arthur is attempting to use him, maybe even seduce him--people will say and do anything to appease those in power. itβs a weapon, and one that is wielded quite deftly, and shield your heart, mr. baker, because that is what they go for first, and we may have underestimated how susceptible you might have been to such attentions from someone like mr. parnassus. seeing as youβre unmarried... like. no wonder linus was spiralling!
not to mention the pure fucking audacity of charles werner writing this, implying and accusing arthur of doing what he literally did to arthur years ago. guard your heart, itβs what theyβll go for first--youβd fucking know, huh? like thatβs a whole other layer of this--for one, iβd love to see arthur reading this goddamn letter (that is. a fic iβve half written. kdlfgjdfg) and kinda understanding linusβs mindset in the cellar more, but like, also. when linus says almost helplessly in the cellar you could have been using me, to have me say what you wanted in my reports, and he inhales sharply and says oh. oh, linus. do you really think so little of me? because thatβs what charles did, took advantage of him, made him feel happy and in love and then used it against him, manipulated him, and like...
i can imagine part of him is almost angry to be accused of that, upset that linus truly thought heβd be capable of doing what charles did to him, but heβs also just sad, that linus feels the way he felt even if only for a moment, and like--whether he understands then, after his gut-jerk reaction, or later, when theyβve talked, but like. understanding that it was less not trusting arthur (although that was definitely part of it, mostly due to the lies/withholding of truth, however justified, they left him unmoored and uncertain) and more not trusting himself, not believing he could have these nice things...
but like also just! being in that cellar, that horrible, awful cellar, barefoot and vulnerable and watching as someone heβs grown to truly like looks at him like he might cry (far more expressive than he seems to think, which is so very endearing) and he knows that itβs fucking charles that put that expression there but it still feels like itβs his fault, even just a little...
(and like, arthur, leading up to that confrontation, noticing how linus is acting strange, and when he puts a hand on his shoulder he flinches and stiffens instead of leaning into it without realizing like he normally does, and he knows something is wrong, and he thinks he knows what. and while the idea of going down there stings like nettles he knows he has to, and anyway, perhaps its time he confronted it again, hm?)
and linus, in that cellar, that horrible, awful cellar, with the tiny tally marks and soot coating the walls, and heβs overwhelmed--with doubt, and shame, but also with just. a great and deep sadness, for arthur now, for arthur then, for all the little magical children that have suffered and heβs been unable to help, and his eyes keep drifting back to those tally marks and he wants to cry or throw up because who could ever treat a child like that. but he still has all that doubt! and insecurity! and he wants to be angry at arthur because if it had all been a lie linus might just shake apart but part of him is resigned that really, he should have known, and can he even blame arthur for protecting the children, and part of him couldnβt be angry if he tried because he just wants to wrap his coat around arthurβs shoulders because he looks cold and vulnerable and almost small and heβs in this--this stupid goddamn cellar he shouldnβt have to see again (because whether linus realizes it or not, he does trust arthur--if arthur truly were the cunning con man he fears he is, he could easily pull his heartstrings, manipulate the story to bring about pity, to show himself in the best light, as it were, but linus believes that as he confronts arthur, arthur is telling the truth, and heβs right) and like just. the complicated mess of emotions that comes with being already half in love with him but scared, scared that he might have been wrong the whole time, scared that heβll be alone again and heβll deserve it, scared that he might have been taken advantage of, scared of rejection, and that comes with all that doubt and all the despair on arthurβs behalf, that protective rage that makes him want to find every piece of shit complicit in making this fucking cell and destroying them, that loneliness and isolation heβs always felt, just like. all of it. you know.
and like after that initial confrontation in the cellar the idea that linus, even if only briefly, genuinely thought arthur might have been using him, that they all might have been trying to manipulate him the whole time, doesnβt really come up again--i think a lot of it, as is mentioned, just wouldnβt hold up under the light of the day, because at night and alone his fears are thriving, like. the kids, i think, heβd pretty easily realize uh yeah no. they arenβt lying, they just arenβt really like. capable of that kind of knowing like. cruelty? in that sort of way? but like. he still has those fears, particularly with arthur, who i mean--to protect the children? if he had to? maybe. maybe. but like. he like. i think he does get over it fast because he does trust them, even if he had that brief moment of just. deep fear. but like still the implications or like. i want them to talk about it like. what it means, how it affects both of them, how it meshes with the whole charles werner mess, etc. like. idk i just. i have a lot of feelings about that brief stretch of time okay.

MARKUS of course start strong
MARKUSπππππππ MY EVERYTHING MY BLORBO MY HUBBY MY SCRINKLY MY HIMBO HE IS MY NUMBER ONE FOREVER AND ALWAYS π«π€πΌ
everybody knows i can talk about markus endlessly i truly think he is one of the best video game characters yes i know i'm extremely biased but I DON'T CARE. he goes through such an extreme trauma and yet puts the future of the androids over his own needs. he fights for what he believes in and is so charismatic and brave and kind and sexy and justified and righteous and every other synonymous word in the book. markus wears his heart on his sleeve and it infuriates me to see people think he's emotionless or say his story was the weakest when his actions dominate the overarching theme of dbh which is the recognition of androids as a free and sentient species. DON'T FORGET HE IS THE ONE AND ONLY CHARACTER WHO DIRECTLY INFLUENCES CONNOR'S CHOICE OF DEVIANCY. i will fight to the ends of the earth for markus to get the appreciation, recognition, and love he rightfully deserves. everyone say a huge thank you to jesse williams for bringing him to life <3 on the other hand david cabbage if you are reading this i'm hiding under your bed for slighting him

oh the ones I wanted to send are taken already UHM.. Wrightdot and/or Franmaya? (the latter isn't my cup of tea but I'm interested to hear your thoughts on it!)
HELLO, GRACE, MY DARLING FRIEND GRACE ππππβ₯οΈπβ€οΈπβ€οΈπππππβ₯οΈππ Thank you for the ask; I am honoured you actually wanted to hear me talk about multiple ships whsjdhj πππ
Wrightdot:
Grace, trying to answer this gave me some sort of quarter-life existential crisis, and I am a bit hysterical rn. Through the laughter and the screaming, I have to admit that... I kind of............ get it??????? I WOULDNT SAY I SHIP IT, BUT, LIKE. THEY'RE SO FUNNY BUT ALSO REALLY SAD AND IM????? IDK WHAT I THINK SJWVSHDHFKDH
Ultimately, though, ULTIMATELY. I can't quite get past the whole 'that is Mia's ex who is still very much in love with her, and her protege' thing. She's played too much of a role in both their lives for them to see very far past her influence on one another, and I don't think it'd be very healthy for them to try pursuing a romantic relationship; because I feel like they'd inevitably end up trying to fill the space Mia left in their lives through the other person which just wouldn't work. I definitely think they should have some sort of a relationship, though! I think Diego cryptically mentoring Phoenix and being very unhelpful most days, but always really solid help deep down, is very fun and kind of important for them post-BttT. I think they should get to truly know one another, beyond the masks and the projection, and Diego has a lot more experience being a lawyer than Phoenix, so he'd definitely be able to help with all the moral quandaries that are bound to come up later on. Plus he'd Get the whole 7-yg Phoenix attitude thing because... he's been there. I think he could've been helpful, and it's a shame we don't get to see them be, if not friends, respected acquaintances.
Alternatively, though, the idea of Phoenix having a casual conversation with Diego only for the fleeting thought of "Wow, he's really attractive" to stop him dead in his tracks and make him question his whole life and go to therapy and Leave the Countryβ’ is so funny to me. Alternatively-alternatively, I get the romance of it. It's the whole pulling back the mask, having someone who really understands you, being accepted in spite of your worst flaws, moving on from grief and loss with another hand in yours and NOPE. I CANT TALK ABOUT THIS. I DONT SHIP IT BUT IDK! IDK!!!! IM THROWING THEM BOTH OFF A CLIFF, AND THEN IM THROWING MYSELF OFF A CLIFF. I AM DONE. GOODBYE.
Franmaya:
Okay, after standing in the shower and staring at a wall for 3 hours, I can talk normally again, which is good because I have to explain this.
I know the people who ship them don't do it in this way, but? Honestly? Franmaya is one of those wlw ships that strike me as two female characters being shoved together because they're left hanging once the main male couple whom everyone actually cares about (nrmts in this case) gets together, and because no one can find anything interesting to say about them as individuals, so now they're lesbians. Yay! (And also because people maybe don't want to be seen as only shipping mlm ships for fear of being told they're fetishising them.) And I know that that's not true and that most Franmaya shippers love both of them individually (as we all should), but something about them always makes me hear the feminine AI TikTok voice going, "Diversity Win πππ!" in my head and conjures up images of Western corporate advertisements during the month of June (hence the love is love coca-cola).
And I know this isn't the case, but ???? I think it's mainly because I genuinely do not understand this ship. I don't usually need ships to be supported by canon for me to ship them, but what we've been given by canon doesn't help me see these two as ever being friends, let alone girlfriends. I understand the reasoning of "they both have self-worth issues so they'd understand each other", and that's a perfectly good reason to ship people, but like. I kind of want more? I kind of want them to be able to connect on a level that goes beyond them having similar issues? And probably the folks who do ship Franmaya do have reasons that go beyond that, like maybe Maya teaches Franziska how to lighten up and not take herself so seriously, and Franziska shows Maya that she doesn't always have to be the easiest version of herself to be loved. And that's all lovely! But I... don't want them to fix each other--
See, the versions of Franmaya I've seen floating around either boil them down to a wlw version of nrmts OR they make them out to be this saccharine, perfect, happy lesbian couple who are so, so wonderful and sweet to each other. Which is. Great! I love seeing women happy! But -- I'm sorry -- it's so BORING to me. It always seems to fix them a little (even if it's just around each other), and I like their flaws. I like that Franziska's a bit of an uppity, violent snob, and I like that Maya is a bit of a naive, insecure girl. I don't want them to fix each other, but I've tried twisting them the other way round, too! I've tried giving them the Krisnix treatment where they just amplify each other's worst traits, because they share similar insecurities and would know where to prod to make it hurt, but! I find that even less appealing and workable, tbh. Maya at her worst might let someone walk all over her for momentary wisps of affection disguised as acceptance of her flaws? But she has good and smart friends! Nick would never let her be in a toxic relationship like that, and he'd stay with her until she realises it's bad for her! And Franziska, regardless of how she may feel about being in Edgeworth's shadow, would never let anyone else even suggest that to her. The moment she gets a hint of that kind of disrespect, she is gone. She doesn't need you, make no mistake of that.
And it all really comes back to the fact that I can't see them connecting as friends. With Emaziska, I could see how they could be genuinely good friends and then more, but with Franmaya it's just... Not there for me. I can't see them progressing beyond the "oh, that's my little-older brother's friend's sister" stage the way you might be "friends" with your parents' friend's kids, you know? Like, yeah, you guess you're friends with them, but it's nothing serious or real. That's how I view their relationship. I'm not averse to being persuaded to ship them (in fact, I'd like to have them explained to me; they have cute art!) but I have tried and ehhh?? Doesnt do much for me, sorry, Franmaya π

lumax bond and chemistry is unmatched!!! truly the best ship in st..! them being honest w eachother and showing their true feelings was the biggest step forward imo
THISSS!!!!!! their bond is truly beautiful. i love them so so so fucking much. the way Lucas was constantly trying to reassure Max that heβs there for her in Vol.1 was just πππππππ. they have such a beautiful relationship and even though I donβt talk about them much, or at all on my blog, I am a lumax shipper forever and always. love them so much.
