the volos i made on paper in two days instead of doing anything i was supposed to do

If you want to talk about Volo uhhhhhhhhh... he sucks eggs and his hair is bad. Tell me why he’s good, actually. Go! :D

(sorry this is so long) FINALLY SOMEONE TO JOKINGLY FISTFIGHT. GET OVER HERE rolls up my sleeves

for realsies? why he's good??? its because hes so funny. his whole character is so fucking funny. weirdo who is so nice to you but its all to manipulate you and hes actually like fucking WILD???? WANTS TO DESTROY THE WORLD???? whats not to love???? hes so fucking Funny and his reveal made me lose it with laughter. also his hair is stupid and i love that for him <3

on a somewhat more personal note and, also, because i made him be actual friends with my player oc, nib, i feel like he has a chance of being really complex. evil not for evil's sake but because it feels like the only thing he has left, u kno??? i think (i could be wrong its been a minute) some of his dialogue implies hes been hurt by the world a lot, and hurt people tend to hurt people in an effort to feel some degree of control

im too out of focus to properly get into it (this is a lot but i could GET INTO IT if i wasnt so brainfoggy) but i genuinely think volo needs someone to have his back. he was raised by a guild—not even by a family, it seems like, but by the guild—and community raising isnt bad (and is often Good!!! very good!) but i wouldnt be shocked if kid volo didnt get enough attention or emotional support or whatever. i wouldnt be shocked if kid volo really went through the wringer as he grew up. so i just think that, if he's a hurt person (and i rly enjoy thinking of him as someone whos reacting out of pain, tho that might be personal preference), he can also heal

i think if my adorable oc nib can reach out to him enough times, he'll learn that he can reach back and that it isnt a betrayal to the pain he went thru or the goals he set out to complete. i think if anyone reached out to him, the real him, enough, he'd realize that hes allowed to have that, and that he doesnt need to be so scared of the world. he doesnt need to be alone and fighting his mind and fighting these pains on his own

thats. very much also a big part of my Wishful Thinking-ness. i love character redemption arcs because i love healing and i love people and i love connection. im a sucker for people caring about people enough to help them heal. i love Bad, Shitty People getting unconditional love and affection despite whatever terrible things theyve done because I Love People Helping People and i like to think anyone can be healed, because im a bit of a romanticist at heart

i recognize thats not always a common perspective and i do want to clarify that i also just adore characters who fucking suck and never stop sucking. i love guys who are just bad people. i think theyre fun, i think flawed, evil people are interesting to read and write about, i think some characters are meant to be bad and they dont really need a redemption. i am multi-faceted in my approach to media!! so!!!!

so yeah. i sit here rattling volo like a barbie doll. he is my bestfriend he is nibs bestfriend and i love him

「 A Stroll during Sunset 」

Volo :]

this is a wip still but. volo :]

the headache is Beating Me Up but i pulled through. for volo

Oh I did not forget about narcolepticIngo i just... Sometimes i have this days where my brains feels fuzzy?

And today it marks day 4th with intense tinnitus so... I HAD to write something.

It's been more than 10 years since i wrote other than school papers, so for now it's all my thoughts with not much prose?

But I'll get to Ingo, mostly because i wantt to ask some stuff to my partner lol, this is too recent and we're still learning, he still needs more tests

But yeah, you're right, i never questioned Nib and such, it just feels ok when everyone else does it, but i want to try too. Thanks Rob 😭

sounds like a good ol' case of brainfog, love! i could be wrong of course but sometimes my head gets Big Smoggy and i cant focus or react or process things properly. thats whats happening today too but its much sharper than usual because Tooth Pain! what im trying to say is that theres no rush, nuggie! take your time :]

every time u start to feel weird or embarrassed about your ocs or ships or headcanons, remember me and remember nib. remember nib being BestFriends with EVERYONE in pla, Even Volo!!! then apply that to Urself. grips ur hand ur so epic dude
