6. Who was their Azem? What were they like, and were they different from your WoL? Who were their family, friends? Or, if you don’t care for the Azem angle or went in your own direction for their past self, how so? How does your WoL feel about their Ancient identity? (x)
Dies's main love in life is adventure. Similar to Corisande, she always wanted to travel and see what was out there, beyond the familiar. Unlike Corisande, she is very outgoing, prone to taking risks, puts her love for adventure above the people in her life at times, and can be rather flighty. She was closest to her mentor Venat, and had a short-lived romantic relationship with Hermes prior to becoming Azem, but broke up with him in order to focus on her travels. Despite this she was still fond of him as well as Meteion, and it hurt her to see how he changed after the events in Ktisis.
Corisande doesn't feel very connected to Dies. They are each their own person, and their relationships to Venat and Hermes are their own. They don't think about Dies much.

Brain really said "Scara hyperfixation, eat shit" and now I'm thinking abt genshin Carmen & Wanderer.
They've never even met him when he was Scaramouche, and Irminsul wipin' out his existence/memory (or however it works I can't word it right rn) only solidifies that.
I don't even know how they'd meet- doubt he'd ever willingly go back to Inazuma, and vae'd most likely not end up in Sumeru.. but who knows. Probably baffles the poor fucker (/aff) with how kind they are to him once they warm up to 'em- 'cus y'know. Social anxiety's a dick and 'this guy looks both approachable and intimidating as shit what if I fuck up aaaaaaAAAAA-'
I think he knows how to sew?? Not sure if it's canon or a widely-accepted headcanon, but that. Wisp would eat that shit up. Next time the two run into each other they give him a li'l cat doll they sewed. Grows from there.
some similarities anyway (in some ways)
nonhuman
probably technically a few hundred years old (carmen is& it somehow stuck in my head Scara's like 500-something technically)
does it count to say scara has religious trauma via his mother ? bc if so. religious trauma (though carm's isn't as severe)
general closeness with an archon (Venti & Nahida respectively)
vulnerability who's that never heard of them hahaaaa
🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️ (dying on hill that transmasc scara. Transmasc Scara.)
a little silly in the head (again not as severe but carm's social anxiety / depression / whatever other shit there is ; & then only recently I've seen the BPD stuff w/ Scara so that too plus whatever else stems from his trauma)
like idk it's interesting at least right now it is- I'll see how long this sudden fixation on the puppet lasts

speaking of lfmb and what you said about the sexual tension: you are right as always, but it's funny because the love scenes are much more explicit from what i remember bc we got to see both f&l on bed doing the deed and also in the dream world inside a pool lol (tho it was very sweet and not necessarily that passionate whereas in ysblf their times together are described as sweet, but for some reason I pictured it as more passionate? don't mind me maybe i'm way off considering we didn't even see much, i blame armando's subsequent desperation for this tbh) aside from these bits, it is indeed more family friendly. ngl i feel like rewatching but only the pre-aldo episodes hahaha
the second love scene in lfmb is very soap opera esque--a bed, candles, the shot of them with the candles in front of them, the shot of his back and then the discrete shot of angelica vale's chest. it's more skin yes, but there is something so rated G about it. its very sweet. even the shared dream pool sequence is sweet but never passionate or intense. too much passion and sexyness is not allowed in family friendly programming.
where as the second night in ysblf is wrapped around desperation and anguish. they're clothes are on in the scene but theyre both desperate to get them off each other. betty doesnt know whether to tug his shirt fm his pants, take off his tie or grasp him to her. meanwhile armando doesnt think to take her to a bed. he's so afraid of her leaving that he leads her to the couch. he's trying to take off his own tie but can't stop kissing her. its desperate, passionate, intense, clumsy at one point. it's sexy. the shot of her touching his back, even tho fully clothed feels more explicit than the shot of lety touching fernando's naked back.
the second night in lfmb is again, very sweet. (kinda corny). but also feels very controlled. very highly choreographed. very careful in how they presented it. like, bc lety is 'the other woman' but also the protagonist we need to see her have a beautiful and safe experience.
where as in ysblf, its about betty's passion being reciprocated the same way. just bc she's isn't beautiful by society standards doesn't mean she doesn't have desires of her own. and i think that message doesn't come across in the mexican version. it gets ignored or forgotten.

I'm really glad that Sega has allowed Amy to move out of her harassment phase re: her crush on Sonic, because the way she was written back in the late 90s / 00s with regards to her crush on him is not only uncomfortable and not okay behavior (continuing to push yourself on someone after they've said "no" isn't okay even when you're a girl pushing yourself on a boy), but was also really detrimental to her character. Not only did it give people a negative impression of her (her obsessing over Sonic being her boyfriend / marrying her is remembered more often by casual fans than her actual stories in those games), but it also runs contrary to the fact that Amy has always been a kindhearted, compassionate, empathetic person. We see her compassion and empathy with other characters in those same games (wanting to save Birdie from Gamma, reminding Shadow of his actual promise to Maria, helping Cream and Big find Chocola and Froggy), so to then have her turn right around and completely ignore Sonic's feelings / boundaries because of her crush is just . . . bad. It's a bad look, and bad writing. And I don't hold it against her, any more than I hold instances of Tails having bad writing against him. These are fictional characters, they're beholden to their writers. But it's still not great and I'm really glad that Sega has realized that having Amy harass Sonic isn't funny or cute, and has instead allowed her to treat him like she does the rest of her friends: with the kindness, compassion, and empathy she's known for.

finally broke into one of my new syringes (still have some old ones, but figured hey i should try them for this shot)
Tw for bitching abt medical shit/my injs below the cut
and i just. why is my doc intentionally making this harder. I ask for 3ml syringes bc it's what im used to and know how to draw up. She agreed to that, so i never checked my new ones bc why should i? she listened, she sent in for 3mls, right?
NOPE. fucking 1 ml which means figuring out the draw up has required online searching to make sure it's right, and bonus! everything I've found doesn't recommend it for T bc it's such a slow inj to begin with, and 'many feel it takes longer to inject in smaller syringes designed mainly for IV use, which lessens compliance with injection schedules in some'
And i hate how it looks. it looks like so much more, and i know that's stupid bc it isn't, it's the same amount as usual, but the sight of it is v much involved in me getting my injs done with my fear of needles. I know, again, I KNOW planned parenthood is dealing with not enough funding, hands on staff, etc, but does that really prevent you from listening to your patient and trying to help them with shit like this? bc i don't think it should. I'm still forever grateful they've been helping me keep my T going until I find a primary care doc, but at the same time...what the fuck? I said this would be an issue, and i need to stay with my usual supplies. If that was an issue for them, i was willing to buy syringes myself from the medical gear shop I've used for extra supplies before (that will ship out here, I've checked.) Why won't she just fucking. listen, and talk to me? if all she could do was 1 ml syringes, fine, BUT FUCKING TELL ME THAT BEFORE SO I CAN JUST BUY MY OWN
Like. I will get this done. ill use these crap syringes up bc I refuse to waste them.
But now I'm overly nervous and worried im gonna fuck it up with the new syringe, or that it will hurt more or take even longer to inject than usual, so my hands are too shaky to do it! im already a day late with it, and I'd bet ten bucks I wont be able to calm myself enough to do it until tomorrow. Yes, this is also autism bs of needing things the same but like. I've had to do a lot of adjusting since last year, and have made efforts to accept changes and sporadic things. it's been hard as fuck, but I've fucking done it. so why can't i have one fucking thing like this stay the same? just my inj supplies, that's it! I'll accept and deal with other changes but for fuck's sake, she KNOWS I'm nervous abt fucking up my injections (bc i always want them to go well so i get as much med in me as i can, with minimal tracking out after it), why the fuck wouldn't she at least tell me if she was limited in syringes/what she can rx?
Why don't docs listen when i talk, and why won't they just talk and be honest with me like a fucking adult. is that honestly so fucking difficult?
Apparently so 🙃
