One of my favorite character traits that Junpei has is how as much as he's protective and caring to his favorite people and impulsively jumps into danger to help others if he has an opportunity to without wanting anything in return and highly values the promises he makes he just seems to also always be more curious than he is sensible or empathetic, he gets so caught up on the horrors he sees but he has such a hard time looking away, he's right to analyze and be intrigued by the ninth man's remains but he stands around staring at it until he pukes, in the showers you can interact with the wall behind which lies "Snake's" corpse and he will pick up more details about it each time you click on it until he has to mentally rip himself away because it's not that he can't keep looking at it it's that he better look away and focus on getting out, and the way he talks to Clover about the body with every minutiae she wouldn't want to hear is like his brain connects faster to his mouth than it can connect to his sense of morality sometimes which I guess turned out to be a good thing in this one case or just good common sense in general like there's other minor things he blurts out at times, he's stated to not have tact be his strongest suit, he's insensitive on accident trying to fumble through interactions even if he's entirely confident on what he's saying he's soo sharp when he has a goal in mind but he's soo dense if he's trying to just exist my man is so traumatized and his brain always seems to default to taking the most of any given situation in as possible to desensitize himself instead of any other response and sometimes it pushes his mind to be so single mindedly entranced on not ending up that way too that he'll describe a mangled body in excruciating detail to a grieving relative even if that's his friend and even if he feels guilty about it immediately as soon as he catches up with what just left his mouth instead of staying in his thoughts

#I did it I made a post about Junpei without talking about the Kurashikis!! #I am... still doing that here in the tags because that's how this train of thought started but... akdhsk #like I just started thinking how even in the everything is fine and junepei still has the capacity to be a healthy couple AU in my head #he would still have moments™ like this #how he would make invasive little questions about uncomfortable things to reminisce about #not realize he's overstepping right away not deal in the best way with Akane's meltdowns if she's doing bad enough to have them #kind of like in door 3 as in still being touchy and stuff but nothing bad on purpose #nothing like pushing her around like I still can't believe he canonically does in zero tiem dilemma #but yeah basically that's it that's the post I like Junpei a lot despite not being as present in my every waking thought as other character #and I love this about him love that he isn't just completely heroic that he has to struggle a bit #he's a protagonist that feels so generic for the first few minutes but he's anything but the more you play #I love how No One in ze is a good flawless person the way stories usually portray #they have quirks and hang ups that they are capable of doubling down on or turning for the worse under circumstances that push them to #again not. really including zerotiemdillema on that one but you get what I mean #zero escape #zero escape spoilers #999 spoilers #junpei 999 #junpei tenmyouji #every character in this series who ultimately wants to do good has to struggle so much with the horrors around them and in themselves for i #and then there still aren't right simple answers and they still try for the slim possibility that things can be okay this time and I love i #escape room convention but it's a time loop

Am inexplicably and unreasonably upset about Jamie not liking scones. Like, obviously he can like whatever he likes and there's no accounting for taste and what does it even matter but also what the hell is wrong with you, my ridiculous muppet man? What else don't you like, huh - is it kittens and puppies? World peace? Fucking joy?

For my own peace of mind I'll be imagining him just saying that because he doesn't want anything from Roy at this particular point in time. Or maybe Simon's scones are JUST TOO GOOD, nothing else can compare, so Jamie just avoids all other scones as to avoid disappointment. Either work and make hell of a lot more sense that Jamie "not even liking" scones. I mean, come on.

#in today's segment of 'absolutely nonsensical things to have Weirdly Strong Feelings about' #but now i have some vague thoughts #about Strange Scones Shenanigans down the road #roy baking scones for himself and keeley #but being all like 'uh no i didn't make any for you because you don't like scones' #EVEN THOUGH HE KNOWS FULLY WELL jamie loves scones #he's just being an ass for roy is an ass sometimes related reasons #it backfires though bc jamie gives him Ze Puppyeyes until roy has to surrender his own scones #OR the simon thing holds water and roy gets weirdly obsessed about also being able to make scones that jamie likes #jamie is having fun pretending he doesn't love roy's scones #it probably gets a little out of hand at some point #keeley seriously questions why she's dating these idiots #how many scones adjacent headcanons did you have today? #none? #too few gentle reader #far too few #just to be clear i have no opinion whatsoever about people liking scones in general! just jamie! #random ramblings #jamie & roy #jamie tartt #jamie tartt/scones

cishet people who are clueless but trying i love you. this morning i was talking to a straight guy in my class about it/its pronouns and how some it/its users like it because they see it as redefining their identities/senses of personhood, and he nodded sagely and started talking about the replicates in blade runner

#of course. if you meet an it/its user. you should generally not just go 'oh! like the replicates in blade runner!' #because probably not all of them will like that. but like. this guy is the epitome of he's a little confused but he's got the spirit yknow? #he was like 'there's also like... ze right?' and i was like yeah! those are neopronouns! #and he went 'what are those?' and i went they're just different pronouns! #ones that aren't he or she or they! and he just nodded and went 'cool!' #it really is that easy to be an ally. you don't have to understand perfectly #you just have to support #this guy had not even heard the word agender before this morning. he is from a small city in goddamn alberta. #the canadians reading this post will understand just how much context the mention of alberta adds to this. it's like the texas of canada. #but he's still respectful. it really is that easy

as a writer and as a canadian, my decision of whether to spell things the british english way or the american english way is based entirely on the alignment of the planets, the general vibe, my mood on the day, and/or which one looks more like a proper word to me at any given time. hope this helps!

#favourite? needs the 'u' i will not compromise #honor? can also be honour depending on my mood but lately i've been feeling no 'u' #axe without the 'e'? the fuck out of here with that shit #word processors keep trying to spellcheck me on usamerican spelling when i'm on the uk dictionary #but then i switch to the usa dictionary and it spellchecks the uk english words........i can't win </3 #like generally i add the 'u' but some words just look wrong ya know? #also absolutely fucking hate 'se' instead of 'ze' spelling for......most words #but iirc the 'canadian' way is 'se' which. is horseshit. #but canadian press style demands it which means when i was in school i was screaming crying throwing up my way through all those articles #ky posts text

if I had a nickel for every time i’ve come to adore an Uchikoshi game protagonist who’s a good guy that gets dragged into an insane and deadly situation and is ultimately forced into a life or death "game” out of his desire to protect his loved one(s), where the fallout from this event leads to him becoming an alcoholic detective that can’t let that one case go even years later down the line, i’d have two nickles. 

Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice,

extremely questionable subtext that most definitely is not real but makes everything very funny (to me at least)

This interview is so good! Please everyone read the whole thing, but here are some excerpts:

There are also some videos, but I haven’t had time to watch them yet.

#volodymyr zelensky #volodymyr zelenskyy #how can he give so many great interviews #just how #also #I know that description at the beginning can be taken the wrong way #but it’s out there now anyway #poor Ze #🥺 #I hope he’s ok #I wonder if there was something specific going on or if that was just generally the state he was in at the time

I'm not 100% happy with this design but fuck it, here's my Batman OC, Nova Armstrong (super villain name pending, but I'm currently going with "The Black Hole") (ze/hir pronouns, prefers masculine terms). Ze can temporarily absorb powers and strength from others, and hir public personality tends to match those around hir (though it's unconfirmed if this is because of hir powers or just an attempt to fit in). In truth, ze's very outgoing yet awkward, often spending lengths at a time talking and being very dramatic but unable to make eye contact or pick up on others' emotions without being explicitly told (yeah ze's autistic I can't not make my characters autistic). Also a bit clingy, ze hates being alone and will try anything to hold onto someone's company.

Nova isn't an independent villain, instead choosing to work as a henchman for hire and bouncing around to whoever needs one. Ze claims to be looking for hir brother, whose whereabouts are unknown after leaving home to become a henchman (part of the problem being that ze can't remember who he was going to join). Eventually, ze does get a tip about hir brother, but when ze returns, ze's a lot more withdrawn and quiet. Ze still matches the personality of those ze's working with, but ze's a lot more subtle about it instead of being a carbon copy of the other. When asked about hir brother, ze simply refuses to acknowledge ever having any family members.

Ze started as a self-insert so I could hang out with the characters I like, but I started turning hir into hir own character. Ze's also partially based on the Rookie from Lego DC Super Villains in terms of the power set. I'm probably gonna be tweaking hir personality as I keep writing hir but this is what I've got so far

ID in alt/below

[Image Description: A digital halfbody portrait of my OC Nova Armstrong. Ze has very light skin with golden undertones, short blue-black hair with a white streak by the right side of hir head and sidebangs swept to hir left, blue glasses, and black dot eyes. Ze wears a dark purple shirt with an indigo collar and the sleeves rolled up to hir elbows. Ze looks to hir left and down at the ground while hir mouth is open, as if ze was speaking. The background is made of purple-pink swirls on a purple-black backdrop with some tiny yellow dots randomly splattered across. The artist's signature, "Skyllion" written in cursive and dotted with a heart, is above Nova's shoulder. /end ID]

#long post #skyllion art #skyllion ocs #nova armstrong #presentation varies because ze just picks whatever outfit ze likes best #i had an alternate version with clown makeup on #but it was generic and i wanna take a look at some other henchman designs and pick the ones i like #then i can draw hir as different henchmen for different villains #the background was a pattern i was using for a different oc drawing but i was playing with the layer types and liked this effect i got #i have no idea if im ever gonna use hir for anything outside of lego dc super villain playthroughs but zes cool lol

So the conservatives in Thüringen pushed through a non-binding recommendation against "gendered language" in state government institutions (incl. schools and unis), but only managed it with the votes of the nazis. And the comment section of the article are crowing about how it's not bad to vote with nazis if they're correct. I just can't get it into my head how much hate it takes to celebrate cooperation with nazis. Over a non-binding recommendation. To keep using the generic masculine. When we've had male&female forms of address in official communication. For decades.

notes are an avalanche for Darth Vader Pronouns meme (which is great but whoof tumblr at it again with like twenty seven constantly fluctuating groups of likes notes and fifty grouped reblog piles I still can't figure out a pattern to - it's not who they reblogged from which would make *sense*), and I just realized i forgot to upload an image description/alt text before submitting it, and it doesn't retroactively add it to any reblogged posts. rip.

I'm glad people are enjoying it though, also I'm pretty sure I'm upgrading from exclusive they/them to an unlockable added xe/xem set for when someone gets to know me and I know they're cool. 👋

#I think you write it as they/xem? #so they for just general usage irl. but xe for anyone cool with it #conjugated as they/them but with an x (xe/xem/xeir) and not like he/him. pronounced as a z sound #still kinda figuring it out but so it goes I suppose! #(ngl I'm waffling on ze or xe or possibly some others but I'm like. 70% on xe?) #(so I guess technically this may be subject to change)

I make art for persona and no one reblogs or really says anything then I make art for zero escape and everyone is like YESSSS FUCK YES ITS MY GIRRRLL so I think it’s clear which community is better

#its not like i expected any different akdjsk but still its nice to see #its not perfect but i honestly really love the ze community here everyone is just autistic and strange #and i trust the persona community that exists here to be leagues better than other places but the unfortunate truth #is that the shinji tag and general p3 stuff surrounding him is not very active #and no one is as autistic about him as they are about kanny

It is pretty cool how the newer generation (ie: the DDMC mermaids, the arachnikids, especially Hobie, Peni and Gwen the JJK kids, or just Shoko and Satoru if you want to include them) are using the more "weirder" pronouns to refer to themselves (even those who don't have English as a first language which is pretty swag)

I actually do that intentionally when coming up with queer headcanons because I think that is just how stuff evolved in the queer community.

Of course there were people using "weird" pronouns back in the 80s and even earlier, but it just became much more common as time goes on and less stigma and retaliations there are.

Not to say there aren't still problems with using "weird" pronouns at times, which is why some characters like Peni might continue to use she/her pronouns if the environment doesn't seem safe. While others, like Hobie, refuse to bend to the whims of society to be a more "acceptable fag."

Different backgrounds would have different ideas and relationships with gender too. DDMC are robot mermaids, they can't really truly ever identify with "man" or "woman" in a way a human could. So they just gravitated more towards non-human/common pronouns.

I can't say much for Shoko and Satoru, but I think (if I remember right) Satoru had a more privileged upbringing, being part of a more high-up family (I keep getting Suguru and Satoru mixed up in my head and I swear one of these days I will mix them up in a responce D:). Anyway, that kind of background gave Satoru the confidence to just use pronouns like blue/blues. Blues power and prestige makes people on the outside not question blue (at least not directly) so the only people blue has to worry about is blues family, who might not really care as long as blue upholds the family name and tradtions or whatever (which blue isn't really doing by being friends with Suguru).

So yeah, I do see the newer generations as using a lot more "weird" pronouns because it is a lot more normalized and a lot less stigmatized. People from older generations (like Tatiana and Neon) use more traditional she/her and he/him pronouns, but not all of them do because Elivy (lead singer of the Goolings) uses they/them pronouns (also he/him). They just took a longer time to figure things out and only really started using those pronouns later in life (showing that not everyone figures things out when they are young).

I'm also depending on having my OC Carna change pronouns when fae gets older. I like the idea that fae/faer pronouns weren't always gonna stick with Carna, and that's okay to happen. Sometimes you are wrong about your gender or sexuality or whatever, and it's okay to change that over time.

Even with older generations like the Psychonaut Interns (who would all now be in their like 30s or 40s at this point in the story) played around with gender and pronouns when they were young. Adam even going by yo/yoself pronouns during the like 80s. Definitely not something conventional (or honestly even smart if yo was in a dangerous area or bigots, same with Sam or Lizzie using he/him pronouns), but it was something that the interns did because they all were in an area that promoted self expression and to explore your identity and mind.

Not to mention Sam and Razputin being related to some of the Psychic 7 and Lizzie having Compton as a mentor, some of the Psychic 7's queerness would have rubbed off/been taught to these three which would have quickly spread through the interns as they experimented with pronouns and stuff.

Anyway! Yeah, I actually did that intentionally when it comes to pronoun headcanons! The younger someone is, or the newer the generation, the easier it is for me to headcanon them with more "weird" pronouns. I can definitely still come up with "weird" pronouns for older generation characters (love the cosmo/cosmos headcanon for DJSS a lot, need to start using that more), but it is definitely going to be more common with newer generation characters.

(also just thinking about the DDMC, Peni, and Margo talking through text and using emojis as pronouns. Love that and honestly if it was easier to get emojis on a computer I would try making more emoji pronouns headcanons. That is a lazy excuse I know, but I also honestly just don't think of those kinds of headcanons as much as I should lol).

Also, also, just to note, I ONLY speak English. So any kind of pronoun headcanon I give are from and English-speaking viewpoint. I know other languages have different sets of pronouns and gendered language, so I can't really say much on that kind of thing, or how it would translate across languages (or if it would even be a viable thing to do in other languages).

But yea. I do like giving pronoun headcanons even if the character's first/primary language isn't English. I kinda do that thing in my head where a character is speaking one language but to me I can understand it in English. So like if I am making Purl and Rin have a conversation in front of Yinu that they don't want Yinu to hear, I have Purl and Rin speak Korean in my head but it's literally just English to me, but Yinu can't understand Korean. I have no idea why I am saying this because it doesn't have anything to do with the ask, I just felt like sharing it lol.
