#I DONT EVEN KNOW HWO THIS CHARACTER IS
Note
Hey! I saw your reply to that anon ask about mandalorian, and i gotta say i agree with your view. There is something different in season 3 that i couldnt really explain, but you managed to put it into words. The past seasons feel character driven, while this season is more plot driven.
Honestly, i didnt have high expectations, because the ending of season 2 feels conclusive, so i dont know what theyre going to do after that. And when they said that din wont be the main focus of season 3, i felt a bit sad about it haha. I was thinking that maybe we're gonna explore more of din's identity crisis or something like that. But uhhhh idk. I have thoughts and emotions that i cant put into words. I hope you understand what im saying here lmao
Y'know, in hindsight - and can I really say so when we still have an episode left of Season 3, a whole ass Season 4, and however many seasons left until the Disneyfied Thrawn Trilogy Movie? - I feel comfortable saying that Din's story should've ended in Season 2 and he never should've gotten the Darksaber. I also want to argue that he got the Darksaber because Favloni did have plans for him, specifically, until something (Ahsoka and the Thrawn Trilogy and a movie) happened that made them decide to pivot hard into propping up Bo-Katan, whitewashing and sanitizing her backstory, and giving her all of Din's possible storylines. I mean, what did she really do over a season that made her better than Din, who lost everything saving Grogu from Gideon and finding a Jedi who could take him in?
Din was left alone on the bridge of Gideon's cruiser with Bo-Katan and Koska. He is truly alone. Does he follow them back to Bo-Katan's fleet, a CotW among others who don't trust him and his covert? Does he start his search for the Armorer and survivors of Nevarro? Din showed his face to another living being. What does his crisis of faith look like? We saw a glimpse of that in TBOBF; he wasn't doing too hot and then he was banished from his covert and told hwo to atone for his sins. We could've had a multi-episode arc following his journey to Mandalore and visiting the history of Mandalore and its desecration by the Empire. We could have seen him waver in his faith, struggling between what he believed and what he experienced and all the ways they intersect and conflict. Din won the Darksaber in combat. He now holds an ancient Mandalorian Jedi weapon that the Mandalorian diaspora now say marks him as Mand'alor (or the best candidate for Mand'alor). Does he grow into this role using his experience and skills earned as a bounty hunter and his covert's provider, or does he choose to surrender it to somebody else because he never wanted and still does not want the power and authority that comes with the title? Does he ever see Grogu again? Is Grogu doing well? How will they reunite? Well, TBOBF answered all those questions and we just have to accept they're back together at the start of Season 3.
Thse are just some of so many potential character-driven and character-centric stories that I'm never seeing in canon now. He's been wallflowered, pushed into the background, Bo-Katan's newest and biggest supporter in her so-called redemption arc even though you wouldn't fucking know that her redemption arc maybe should've included some mention of what she fucking did in the Clone Wars and the fucking Season 3 logo features Din and Grogu front and center.
(A lot of newer merch I see at the Disney Store, Heroes & Villains, Her Universe, etc. now feature multiple Mandalorians and Mandalorian helmets, so maybe that was a giveaway that we are following more Mandalorians now... and I am still forever struggling to find decent Din Djarin merch that puts him front and center. Fuck me, I guess)
I truly wonder what kind of Season 3 we could've gotten if Favloni, Kennedy, and Disney decided not to MCU-fy Filoni's precious darlings, if we were allowed to follow Din the way we did in the first two seasons. You could bring him back to the covert without losing him to the crowd. You could have him cross paths with Bo-Katan again and have her play a more significant role in his journey(s) without taking all of the spotlight.
I did have high expectations after Season 2, Anon, but once TBOBF came out, i realized I was fucked. And, well. Here we are.

🌷How will they deal with saying goodbye?
👯‍♀️How often do they see the others? Their other friends, too?
🖤Free space! Ask what you like, or request a random headcanon
<- hit us with your weirdest shot?
🌷shadow and omega b oth have very complicated relationships w the concept of good bye. they don't really age or die? omega specifically has the advantage of having very limited emotion and a highly logic mind, so he would not waste energy mourning and accept when things end. Shadow is def still trying to figure it all out. as of rn in universe ofc he doesn't have to think abt it much yet, he's doing his best to prevent his friends from harm right now, and he'd rather just face the problems as they happen. especially in shth he learned that theres no use thinking about the what ifs, because there's a right now that needs to be dealt with. the more he thinks about what differenciates him from others the less he can concentrate on what matters: the things he's got in common. like the ground beneath their feet, the star they orbit around, the wind that blows in their faces... He knows about the inevitability of death enough through maria, and he will try his best to not make the same mistake twice. he's determined to move on. ofc its easier said than done, especially in the conceptual event that rouge would fall in combat or even worse.. because of a mistake that he made.. but there are so many possibilities that i could analyze we'd be here for ever.........
rouge herself i think hasdealt with loss before, and she might have had some history with people that she has cut out of her lives. it might seem cold but i think she as a person has mastered the art of severing. whether its healthy is not the question rn... she def has a very soft spot for shadow and omega, tho as stated above these two are really hard to kill so there's not much to worry about in that regard, if anything it's a worry that might not plague her right now, but eventually she's going to think about what it means to be the one that's being severed by forces beyond anyone's control
anyways i dont wanna get existential this morning so this is where i stop
👯‍♀️I headcanon rouge has some friends she regularly meets in her bar (i'll let it be open if it actually belongs to her or if she's just a regular) and she would def visit knuckles every now and then. not saying she'd like. actually talk to him tho. might just lurk in a bush and stare at the master emerald
omega is a tough one to think about tbh. i admittedly don't have too many thoughts on him outside of being part of the team... this is telling me i need to dig more into his individual character tbh. what would he do for fun? when not with the otehr two?? Maybe he actually is like a gamer playing shooters and made friends in voice chat. no one believes him when he introduced himself as killermachine, they think its just a nickname
shadow likes solitude, but i really like that one bit in the recent twitter take over where he and knuckles stood in the forest for hours watching the plants and animals and hwo the light changes throughout the day while going through the leaves etc etc... theyre both very connected to nature in their own ways and i think they could bond over that. also about how they both prefer solitude. they can be alone together! they dont need any words, they can just exist next to eachother for a few hours and feel good about it. he also most surely hangs out with sonic every now and then. hangingout being racing and having a good fight together. though im sure sonic can eventually convince him to spend proper time together. for example making a race into a trekking tour where they go random places sonic knows or doesnt know yet, and they learn about the culture and obviously the food. shadow does seem like someone who'd like to learn about the planet, and sonic's the type of guy who's super eager to have someone to show around and explore with that can keep up!
🖤oh man idk weirdness is super subjective. uh. i wrote a fanfic once about how team dark and team sonic have a bowling competition

Honestly I dont know if I’ll ever love Nesta. Sjm basically wrecked most of her characters trying to justify Nesta/ give her an arc and it didn’t work for me at all. Multiple characters watered down beyond belief just for Nesta to heal through constant training, sex and friendship bracelets. First Rhysand, I know what SJM was going for, seeing Rhysand not through Feyres rose colored glasses but she took it to the extreme with him lying to Feyre. Second Feyre herself losing her spark and fight and basically just being a doormat. Third Mor, “the dreamer of the night court” saying Nesta should be a Hewn City and still weirdly flirting with Cassian in front of Nesta. Just weird. And lastly Cassian, this strong dynamic character is nothing but a himbo now. What happened to The General of the night court? Because it is not acosf cassian.
And Nesta’s friends. Two girls who have never seen Nestas bad side, never been on the receiving end of her bitchyness are now her sisters? Is Emerie paying her bills? Would Gwyn stick around if Nesta called her a dog? NO. Feyre and Elain tried so hard for Nesta and nothing came of it. The ending was so cheap just to redeem Nesta and get her in the good graces of Rhys/Feyre. No real healing at all, and especially none with Elain who Nesta would supposedly whore/steal for. Yet she’s giggling so much with Emerie/Gwyn when if she just gave half of that love to her sisters everything would’ve been okay.
I seriously do not know what was going through SJM’s head while writing this and to me Nesta still isnt a good character. And it’s going to be very weird if in the next book she’s hanging out with the IC like nothing ever happened and they’re a great family
Couldn't agree more.
Especially the Emerie and Gwyn part. Like that part enrages me the most about that book. That and the obliteration of Cassian's character. But yes, if suddenly Nesta came to Gwyn and threw at her that she was responsible for Catrin's death, hwo would Gwyn react? Yet people feel that Elain totally overreacted when Nesta did that to her and accused her of basically killing their father. If Nesta made a comment about Emerie's sexuality, for example, would Emerie be like, oh, it's cool girl! Where as slutshaming Feyre in ACOTAR is somehow not a biggie.
The writing is such a mess.
Mor is actually a great example of how SJM just...doesn't think!??!!
If she is attempting to make Mor even less likable, I suppose she is succeeding. But Mor still hanging on Cassian, bashing his mate in front of him, telling Nesta that she ought to be in Hewn City...what the fuck?
I mean, maybe SJM is gearing up to make Mor evil? Because she certainly isn't doing anything to make her even remotely attractive.
And I get the idea of seeing the world through another person's eyes. but that's not how you do it. You have to juxtapose the perception with reality. There needs to be kind of a 'true reality' and then other people's opinions. But we, as readers, have to know that the opinion is in fact skewed. Nesta's views were skewed. But, at the same time, everything was written so badly, everyone comes out looking like shit--including Nesta, and the people that she supposedly hates.
We shouldn't need interviews with the author to understand what she was trying to do/say.
Ugh. SJM assassinated every character in ACOSF and thinks that it's a great book!

stuff like this srsly confuses me cuz I don't understnad how masc means boy/man, but masculine women also exist like I thought masculine was a gender expression, same with feminine,and it didnt actually mean gender identity itself?
and its hard to pinpoint my exact personality and gender expression because like my style is just black hoodies i pick off my floor which im used to doing that for years. and my personality is like everywhere like my likes and dislikes are ig stereotypically fem and masc (cuz i dont actually seperate anything by gender or gender expression , im not raised really being taught the difference.) and stereotypically ig im masculine cuz i dont wear makeup but i dont get that cuz men wear makeup too so how is not wearing makeup masculine to other people. And then i might be considered feminine too cuz I love pink but like I see pink as a very masculine colour in my head. This is why im gonna fail my character design course becasue I dont see colours ike gendered, or like see dark colours as scary for instance, and i dont see clothes as having any meaning other than pieces of fabric. Istg one day il understand style and what the difference is with genders but ig not yet... Like did no one else as a kid see gender as identical, and believe women and men were equally dominant and that women can dom in sx and sht and can mmake nsfw jokes like men and mmen can wear dresses because as a kid i was surrounded by men that wore dresses and stuff like that so its just so normalized to me that I now am struggling to understnad why its a big deal for most and what is so gendered about it. I dont know if im making sense but imagine someone grows up in a society where everyone believed everythng feminine or masculine was just the same meaning and then that person was put on a planet where everyone separates it, because thats hwo i feel right now. And i think masc and feminine should be more nuance then just style. Because soetimmes peoples style and personality dont match, why do I wear black all the time and dark colours? because I just want too. Why do I wear pink, because I just picked it up off my floor. There is no personality or gender behind why I picked those clothes, I dnt even know what clothes would be considered feminine.
the rare times I wore a dress, I was fine with it until people started condescending me and treating me weakly. If I get treated weakly while presenting stereotypically femininely than I guess I don't want to dress stereotypically femininely? But if that idea was gone, I wouldnt mind it. I dont usually present stereotypically femininely i even though im shy and sensitive and that would categorize as feminine to people ig, but whenever i do it, It feels like im doing something im not used to at all cuz i never really had that like stage, ive been the same since a kid and never changed cuz if i change then im going against what im used to, my routine and my mum and rest of my family is gonna make it this massive af deal like I sort of tried fashion by going to thrift stores and getting cheap clothes not just fo cosplay and my brother was like "WOAH. You look so fashionable" and i freaked out cuz hes not used to me being fashionable and i just wanna go back to not doing that yk, attnention is stressful

gonna be a bit of a long ramble - feelings regarding my ongoing burnout
im looking back at old art right now and its so weird how it didnt matter how bad my art was, i was still having fun (of course at the time i couldnt see that my Art wasnt good, i mean i knew I wasnt crazy skilled but i wasnt stopped bc i was having fun) but now i feel like ** If I dont do something new everytime or have cool compositions or poses Everytime its not worth it and i cant call myself an artist and I really really really want this burnout to end. its been going on since 2020. and its just getting worse. ive barely drawn at all this year. Well I have but its unfinished doodles, eternal wips, and i ahte that. i hate that i have nothing to show for Anything and ive wasted all this time.i dont know hwo to get myself back. i really dont.
***to continue onto that, what i mean is trying to not draw the characters in the same, Same Stale Boring Standing pose but if i try to do something else I feel an enormous mental block and i know studies are suppose to help but i feel a mental block there. that i just cant get it. i want ot be way better than i am now but i hardly feel like my art is even good enough at all. i wish i could clear my brain of these thoughts and just. draw. for fun again. for Actual Fun without feeling like im regressing or doing the same thing over again i dont know...im just tired of it all

how do you make them so squishy?????????
i don't like calling them squishy but i'll allow it for the sake of me showing off my art process ^_^ + this is NOT cohesive im sorry
okay okay, first of all; i dont use the ball and shield method, i find it really hard to really make the characters turn and make them, make sense if i use the ball and shield method, i use the bent paper method but the ball is in my mind, it's just completely invisible, i don't draw the circle, it's a fucking square, i think, it has corners. okay?
Tumblr media
i draw a square that's turning to a specific side, really picky with this because if i dont draw the lines properly it'll turn to a completely different, perspective? and it'll ruin the drawing for me lmao
Tumblr media
in specific perspectives, everyone has a thing?? like, cheeks, the cheeks stick out!!! everyone has those i think idk but, yeah
Tumblr media
at this point i mostly do the proportion lines now, and the chin because i think, <- or ithink it's called the jaw, anyways, the proportion lines differ with each character because it tells you the exact place for eyes and noses and mouths if the character has that, and characters and people that are humanoid, vaguely for the lack of words, all have proportions - i also mark out where the ears are!! the little circle, the ears are always close to the eyes or exactly lined up to the eyes they're, there, the ears and eyes, anatomy things no idea
Tumblr media
okay so this is when you put the detail. you do the perspective and all that stuff and you try to make it look cohesive, now i dont do perspective well, i would rather die but i just try my best. which is where the selection tool comes in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the selecting tool is my friend and with YOUR help, it can be YOUR friend too ^_^ no seriously it is the most helpful thing i would cry if it wasnt there
Tumblr media
do you see that part?? at the, at the top, i circled it to point it out because i forgot what it was called, we're gonna put the hair there and i have this segment because the character im drawing requires hair and i love hair, i love drawing hair but you can skip this part if your character doesnt have hair or yeah!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
you see that part where i also circled it in, that's where i guide my hair?? i dont, do that scalp hair guide thing, my art style kinda just ignores that part and i dont really care that much but yes, hair
Tumblr media
now i find the neck and that's just, really it!!!!!!!!!!! i dont really want to share the other parts of my art process because it's insignificant but that's hwo i make them look 'squishy' ( i dont like calling them squishy i will die on the very hill i stand on before i say that unironically, please )
ALSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I TURN THE CANVAS, I TURN THE CANVAS, I KNOW. I KNOW. IT'S TERRIBLE, but look look, i went ahead and did the horizontal mirror canvas thing and i adjusted it
Tumblr media
okay, i gotta admit, there's no difference because when i flipped it there wasnt really much. wrong with it, i guess i did something right lmao
Tumblr media
it even looks better this way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, but it does bring attention to the other ear, which makes me realize that i need to find a way to make that work in the lineart stage. fuck
EDIT EDIT EDIT, FUCK FUCK FUCK THE EYE THING IS OFF, THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
ANYWAYS, hii <3 TAGLIST ; @branzypierce @lolihavenoideawhatiamdoing @krabmeat @polyhermits @hashtaggurl <3

On the topic of Kaito and fanfics, I dont suppose you have any tips on writing him do you Oryx? Like. As a concept I think I know hwo to. But in practice. He eludes me.
hmm... well first off trying to write him exactly like he is in the show is probably a futile effort as the character work there is consistent only in how bewildering it can be. this leaves a lot of leeway to interpret him as you like, which can be fun.
i like to think of him as someone who deep down has always wanted to be more normal, to have normal human relationships and emotions, but over the course of his life just dug his heels in so deep on these questionable ideals that eventually he was stuck there and could only, in his mind, double down. a lotta secret loneliness involved here imo.
so i see him as easily affected by small, everyday situations and interactions that other people might not even really register. since these are things he hasn’t really let himself experience much less enjoy for many years. but of course he tries not to show it when he is affected. bc even if he has been character developed somewhat, that kind of “don’t show any weakness” mentality doesn’t go away so easily. he’ll keep that careful wall in place until the very last minute if possible.
...or something like that. i’m not sure if that even counts as a tip, huh. characterization is such an inexplicable Vibe thing for me... but i’m sure your kaito is great and cute and i’d love to read your take on him!

Can you tell me more about gawain and lancelot in the arthurian myths? I really ship then in FGO and I heard that they are bestfriends
ok this is straight up going to be an essay without the revisions so just a stream of consciousness on my thoughts of how their relationship is handled in both fate and then the legends themselves since fate pulls a lot yet changes some key aspects that really makes their relationship what it is. it kinda goes from a one sided pinning for an idiot who doesnt comprehend love to a more. theyre just bros. which kinda makes me upset anyways. under the cut. im so sorry for hwo long this is gonna be i have a lot to say about gawain and lancelot. 
ok honestly i think fgo handles their relationship pretty well from what ive seen. they genuinely are just bros too stupid to realize the other is flirting with them in their own ways which is fucking hilarious. i think the only thing that bugs me about how fate actually likes. has them interact is they remove like. the greatest bit of their friendship and i think make it just about the war between them at the end. i cant say for certain but from what i can figure out i think they reduce gawain and lancelots conflict at the end of the main story to just completely them fighting and gawain dying via lancelots wound? but i dont know for certain dont quote me on this. this both a) removes all the REAL tragedy of this situation of both of them just being really fucked up over grief and regrets stirred by arthur in the first place and b) completely ignores one of the best bit of gawain characterization in le morte, gawain forgiving his literal best friend on his death bed and pleading for his return, to come back and mourn for him, to try to save whats left of the world they both helped build and protect. in an adaptation of le morte (which fate lore mostly is) i think gawains final letter is NEEDED to complete his arc and his like. entire character since malory (and then thus fate) spends more time focused on lancelot. 
like just pulling from their dialog w each other in the My Room things, gawain talks about his regret and immaturity over... not forgiving lancelot? what . and lancelot just offers to play chess which is extremely funny. (on another note hwy does fate gawain hate bors. i ltierally can not figure this out at all why is he so mean to his best friends cousin theyre bros.... theyre bros!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
anyways now onto the legends because this isnt about fate. fuck fate i hate fate all of my homies hate fate. im gonna focus MOSTLY on le morte since that connects to fates version more and pull some quotes from other legends i have memorized but there is absolutely more, and the vulgate delves into it a bit more but i havent ... gotten that far im so sorry the prose merlin is kicking my ass. 
the thing to note is gawain (excluding guenevere) was kinda the first person to show lancelot respect when he came to court. gawain kinda took him under his wing for a bit, and they end up VERY close. they have a relationship built off of respect and understanding for each other and it ends up being one of lancelots only Real friendships throughout most legends since he has issues w communication and understanding intention that i could (and will) rant about for hours so i wont delve too into it rn. but like. theyre arthurs best knights basically. troyes will say otherwise and say eric and yvaine are better than lancelot but troyes is fucking stupid and a whore, and most sources will tell you its gawain and lancelot (most sources favor lancelot over gawain due to the french influence on some later literature, and le morte is on the lancelot side due to being pulled a lot from the post vulgate, which pulls from the vulgate, aslo called the lancelot-graal cycle. its a whole thing)
but basically for a lot of the main legends you have two Absolute Best Bros who would literally do anything for the other, one being extremely horny and the other being so hopelessly inept when it comes to communication he doesnt understand how love works. theyre a wonderful pair :-) im kidding theyre so fukcing stupid watching them interact is like watching a car crash. its fucking disastrous and you want to yell at them to just beat the shit out of each other homoerotically and understand their feelings (which they do! wow! shout out to le morte!) anyways to keep this from getting too long lets go over some fun gawain quotes about his Best Friend. Who he thinks about a lot. but like... in a no homo way. he swears.
anwyays uhhhhh to keep this short heres a fun compilation of gawain being gawain. and a pretty good overview of how how gawain talks about his Best Friend in a totally not gay way. its straight if he says no homo.

in gawains death note, which i think is the peak of gawains character in le morte

“Sir Launcelot; for of a more nobler man might I not be slain. Also Sir Launcelot, for all the love that ever was betwixt us, make no tarrying...”“And I require thee, most famous knight of the world, that thou wilt see my tomb.“
and then. for equality since i skimmed all of knight of the cart for this, have some good lancelot lines. for context some idiot locked him in a tower for a year and lancelot just does this the entire time
Tumblr media Tumblr media
anyways: tldr lancelot and gawain are in love even if both of them are too stupid to realize it. thats basically their entire relationship. everything goes to shit after lancelot accidently kills gareth and gaheris because lancelot too thinks of them as his brothers and is so torn up about it he lets everything happen. gawain starts a war with him because he would rather die than face the music. like its insane.... they should kiss. fate kinda gets this ok, but i think they should have had them just more homoerotic at every given moment because they Are. thanks for listening to my ted talk. im sorry im like this. 
find u a bro to have a homoerotic duel with and live your best life babey

anyway i dont know hwo coherent this will be but i don’t want to lose these thoughts, so.
imo s1 of the show unquestionably portrays lilith as predatory/grooming toward sabrina, it’s not even subtle. i’m thinking of incidents like:
- lilith trailing her hand along sabrina’s shoulders and sabrina looking visibly disturbed - lilith licking her finger and wiping a nonexistent speck from sabrina’s cheek, causing sabrina to run away from her - lilith hiding in bathrooms to spy on sabrina or wait for the right moment to prey on her - lilith being in sabrina’s bedroom, gasping with delight, caressing her pillow, and enchanting the mirror to let her spy on sabrina as a female cover of “black magic woman” plays - more tangentially, lilith using stolas to spy on teenage girls in the shower at the academy (ostensibly trying to spy on sabrina)
all of this is evidently part of her plan to guide sabrina toward her dark baptism and her ownership by satan; in essence, she is a sexual predator by proxy for the dark lord, whose incestuous and pedophilic intentions toward sabrina become explicit in s2.
all that being said... none of this is necessary for lilith to accomplish her goal. indeed, emulating the real mary wardwell more closely by acting as a benign mentor, rather than threatening and sexually suggestive corruptor, would probably have gotten sabrina where she wanted her faster. there’s imo no inherent story logic to lilith appearing to groom sabrina sexually.
what’s the goal of sexualizing her this way? why portray her as flirtatious with other women, sexually predatory toward sabrina, and overtly loathing toward men? it’s all a part of her aura as a sinister villain—it’s how the show chose to accomplish its goal of making her seem threatening and dangerous to sabrina. certainly she’s campy while she does it, but she is an active threat to sabrina’s well-being. and the show makes that clear by depicting her, subtextually, as a pedophile and lesbian sexual predator.
thus, in season 2, when it wants to initiate her redemption arc, caos pivots. lilith isn’t interested in sabrina at all, it insists—she complains during the christmas special and at the beginning of this season about being stuck, frustrated, and tired of dealing with sabrina. and her emotional arc centers around the abrupt introduction of a male love interest—the fiance of mary wardwell (who shows up quite conviently, given that mary is explicitly described as being ‘alone’ at the beginning of the show).
centering lilith’s story this season around her experiences with adam—who has no personality, and is more or less a pull-string doll whose only spoken phrase is “i love you, mary!”—massively shifts focus from her relationship w sabrina; indeed, while i haven’t quantified this, it seems to me they’ve shared much less screen time this season than last season. her sexual interest is redirected onto an appropriate object in time for it to teach her a lesson about her abusive relationship with the dark lord and decide to overthrow him, leading, ultimately, to her redemption upon helping to save sabrina and crowning herself queen of hell.
don’t get me wrong, i’m not complaining about the fact that she stops preying on sabrina. what i’m pointing out here is that, while she was a villain, lilith was arbitrarily portrayed as a homophobic stereotype—the predatory teacher who grooms her vulnerable female students. when the writers decided they wanted her to be a hero, they backpedaled from that choice, rehabilitating her by centering her emotional focus and drive around her experiences with a randomly introduced male character, who otherwise contributed nothing to the story.
what does it mean that lilith is portrayed this way? im tired and open tomorrow, so i might have to get back to you on a firm conclusion. but for me, it suggests a few things: DEFINITE buried homophobia/lesbophobia on the part of the writers—given the depiction of ambrose and luke in the show? ya. doesn’t shock me that the writers would also lean on sexual stereotypes about lesbians here. perhaps a continuation of the tradition of portraying lesbian killers in media? or perpetuating the “bisexual sociopath” stereotype most recently invoked by a simple favor, using sapphic sexuality to imply a character’s “cr*ziness” while finally emphasizing that their ultimate desire will always be for men?
i think it certainly expresses the writers’ carelessness about the way they portray their characters and the falseness of their apparent feminist intent. anyway idk. that’s about it

to you, who i write for
Characters / Pairing: Soriku; though it really just reads as Riku angst / pining. 
crossposted on ao3
Notes: This was the first thing I wrote post KH3 and I think I’m okay with putting it out at this point. So yes, warning for KH3 spoilers.
The formatting of this fic is a little weird quite frankly, because it’s a ( mostly ) texting based fic. I used strikethrough at points to indicate messages that were deleted / unsent, but since I know strikethrough can be finicky on some devices ( tumblr mobile ), so I’ve gone ahead and also italicized those parts as well.
There are also some obvious typos! Mostly for a touch of realism because Riku absolutely accidentally typos shit. There are other reasons that I hope are obvious when reading it!
Summary: Riku keeps sending messages because he doesn’t know how else to cope.
( somehow, i hope these words reach you )
[ Text : Sora ] I’m sorry I haven’t texted back in a while.
[ Text : Sora ] We’ve been busy. Not that that’s any excuse.
I’m sure you’ve been too busy to notice.
[ Text : Sora ] Mickey said to tell you he sends his best wishes.
Let me knwo if you need anything.
It’s an admittedly bad habit he’s gotten into, writing up messages that he won’t send. Riku means to cut off the urge before it become a habit, but here he is, still typing up messages for him and him alone.
It’s kind of therapeutic, to write up the things that he can’t really find the words to say aloud— and one would say he should invest in a journal before he accidentally sends a text he does not mean to, but he doesn’t think it’d be quite the same. Doesn’t simulate the same kind of conversation, even if that means a few things that he doesn’t mean to say slip through.
( If it were just anyone he was sending these messages to, Riku knows he might have more than a few reservations— but it’s Sora, who never judges him, even if there are more than a few things he would like to keep secret for him ).
So he continues typing up messages to get things off his chest, and if Sora finds it annoying that he spends more time typing up theoretical conversations than actually having them, he never says anything about it. Probably because Sora only understands how to use their gummiphones half the time to begin with.
Of course, he does send actual messages too, even if perhaps less frequently. Short little blurbs when he can tell that by the increasing frequency in his messages that Sora is worried ( and as bad as Riku is at saying what he wants, he can at least make sure he isn’t worrying for no good reason ).
Notifications of social media updates, text messages that were a litany of errors between them; the buildup of numbers bring some form of comfort.
Until they don’t.
[ Text : Sora ] It’s not like it’s nothing new. Being separated from you two.
We’ve done it before in worse circumstances.
[ Text : Sora ] It hurts?
Is this what it was like for you?
I think I understand your pain now. Srry.
[ Text : Sora ] Are you coming home soon?
[ Text : Sora ] It’s still weird to not wake up to you clogging up my notifications.
[ Text : Sora ] I guess I can return that favor for once.
I’ll try to keep you updated on hwo everyone’s doing.
[ MESSAGE UNREAD ]
If he had been dependent on his phone before, then it was most certainly his lifeline afterwards.
Old notifications are left alone, a flashing number remains constant—as if the moment Riku checks it, it will disappear ( and some of the hope that he clings onto will go with it ).
He sends messages when he needs someone to talk to, so, nothing has really changed in that regard. He thinks about it a little more like writing letters than a journal. Sora will see them eventually, he hopes—thinks he would laugh at how many messages he sends and what kind of things Riku chooses to talk about.
It’s better than thinking of the alternative—
( The illusion is jarring and broken more quickly than he would like to admit because Sora has almost always been quick to check his messages, regardless of situation, the fact that the device will remind him of the fact that his messages continue to go unread is jarring and hard to get used to.
He willingly clings to the hope that something might change )
[ Text : Kairi ] Why.
[ Text : Kairi ] Why was it you?
Why was it him?
[ Text : Kairi ] Was it all pointless?
I think it’s my fault.
[ Text : Kairi ] For not doing something.
Sooner.
Better.
Whatevr.
[ Text : Kairi ] It should have been me, not you.
[ Text : Kairi ] I want to see you two come back.
[ Text : Kairi ] We should talk when you both are safe again.
[ Text : Sora ] It’s weird.
[ Text : Sora ] Sometimes it feels like you two are dead or something.
I mean.
You kind of are?
[ Text : Sora ] But you promised. You’d come bcak.
I’m holding you to that.
[ Text : Sora ] Sometimes it just.
Feels like we can’t talk about you for some reason.
Guess everyone’s still hurting.
[ Text : Sora ] They miss you, though. I can tell.
They miss both of you.
[ Text : Sora ] I miss you both.
[ Text : Sora ] Come home soon.
[ Text : Sora ] You promised.
[ Text : Sora ] If I called, would you answer?
[ Text : Sora ] I guess not.
There are some miracles evn you can’t pull off.
[ Text : Sora ] I’m trying to act like it’s okay.
[ Text : Sora ] You can probably tell otherwise though. You’ve always been good at that.
Even if you can’t pick up on other things.
[ Text : Sora ] Srory.
About everything.
I’ll try harder.
[ Text : Sora ] I know you’d want me to.
[ Text : Sora ] I can’t
I haven’t been seleep?
Sleeping.
[ Text : Sora ] I keep.
[ Text : Sora ] Dreaming.
[ Text : Sora ] About yyou? I think?
Thats not really somehting new, though.
[ Text : Sora ] But it’s dffrnet this time?
I think
I know?
I’m seeing hwat you’re doing?
[ Text : Sora ] Im.
[ Text : Sora ] I’m nnot sure?
[ Text : Sora ] I’m worr
[ Text : Sora ] Im scared.
[ Text : Sora ] I’m scared for yuou.
[ Text : Sora ] I haven’t mentioned it too anyone.
I’ll have to eventually because I’m not sleeping enough
Can barely make sense of what I’m writing.
Pretty sure Aqua’s going to start casting sheep spells on me soon.
[ Text : Sora ] I’m sure you would agree with her.
Probably would have beeen the one to fall asleep instead.
[ Text : Sora ] But.
I can’t tell them?
Not yet,
[ Text : Sora ] I don’t wwant them to have to hurt more.
[ Text : Sora ] I know you’d want me to rely on them but.
Trust me on htis one?
[ Text : Sora ] I 
I think
I know Im asking too much
[ Text : Sora ] I’m being selfish agian?
Sorry.  
[ Text : Sora ] Pleaes come back soon.
[ Text : Kairi ] I hate you.
[ Text : Kairi ] No.
I don’t.
[ Text : Kairi ] I hate me.
I think you knew that already, though.
I’m sorry.
[ Text : Kairi ] I wish you were here.
I think you’d know how to handle thsi better than I do.
I miss being able to talk to you.
Both of you.
[ Text : Kairi ] I’ll make it up to you both.
Soon.
[ Text : Kairi ] I promise.
[ Text : Sora ] I miss you.
[ Text : Sora ] I’m sorry.
[ Text : Sora ] You two have been gone for a year now.
It’s weird.
I guess we can officially hold a funeral?
[ Text : Sora ] I’m joking. Kind of.
It was a serious consideration, I think. By someone.
[ Text : Sora ] Probably Lea.
[ Text : Sora ] Still having dreams but.
Less frequently lately.
I’m worried. Is everything okay?
[ Text : Sora ] Before, I could always tell you were alright.
Just a feeling in my heart that told me so.
I’m starting to wonder if I can actually tell that you’re alive still
Or if I’m just being hopefull.
[ Text : Sora ] We miss you.
[ Text : Sora ] We haven’t given up on you two.
[ Text : Sora ] So you better come back.
I think they’ll cry if you don’t.
[ Text : Sora ] Because you.
[ Text : Sora ] For them.
[ Text : Sora ] We just.
[ Text : Sora ] Aynways.
[ Text : Sora ] Just hang on a little longer. Please.
[ Text : Sora ] I sthis my fault for not doing anything.
[ Text : Sora ] For not saying anything?
[ Text : Sora ] Im
It’s too late now, I guess.
[ Text : Sora ] I wish I could hcange things.
[ Text : Sora ] It wasn’t supposed to be you.
[ Text : Sora ] I’m sorry.
[ Text : Sora ] I miss you.
I wish I didnt.
I know it’s not weak to feel like this but.
[ Text : Sora ] I wish I ccould be stronger. For both of you.
[ Text : Sora ] Srory
[ Text : Sora ] Sorry
[ Text : Sora ] I love you.
[ Text : Sora ] It’s kind of weird.
Scary weird.
[ Text : Sora ] Sometimes it feels like everyone else has forgotten about you two.
[ Text : Sora ] I guess they’ve started moving on and I haven’t.
I always hold onto things too long.
[ Text : Sora ] Somehow it doesn’t feel that simple.
[ Text : Sora ] Don’t tell them, but
I’m scared they’re forgetting?
[ Text : Sora ] It’s happened before. Not tht you remember.
[ Text : Sora ] That’s why I have to keep sending you messages.
Even on the bad days. When I can’t
Dont know what to say.
[ Text : Sora ] So I won’t forget.
[ Text : Sora ] Sometimes I think I’m being irrational, though.
[ Text : Sora ] I know they still remember you.
[ Text : Sora ] They have to.
[ Text : Sora ] You haven’t forgotten about us either, right?
[ Text : Sora ] I can’t
[ Text : Sora ] Im trying
[ Text : Sora ] It’s.
[ Text : Sora ] Bad.
Feels bbad. Brken.
[ Text : Sora ] Haven’t written in a hwile.
While.
Sorry.
[ Text : Sora ] Cant figure out what I want to say.
[ Text : Sora ] Trying to be better.
[ Text : Sora ] Cloud be worse?
[ Text : Sora ] That’s not. Saying mcuh.
[ Text : Sora ] Sorry.
[ Text : Sora ] I’ll try to ttalk to you again soon.
[ Text : Sora ] Kairi came home today.
[ Text : Sora ] I’m sure you knew that.
[ Text : Sora ] We talked for a bit.
She couldn’t talk about you.
Can’t blame her.
[ Text : Sora ] You’re worrying me again.
What happened?
[ Text : Sora ] I think it’s been almost two years now?
Not srue.
Stopped keeping track.
Days keep blurring together.
[ Text : Sora ] I did a year before
So this shouldn’t be that much worse.
But it’s so much harder ths time?
[ Text : Sora ] Probably because I at least knew you were safe last time.
[ Text : Sora ] We’re trying.
[ Text : Sora ] Im try
We want you back home. Safe.
[ Text : Sora ] I’ll try harder.
[ Text : Sora ] Are you waiting for me?
[ Text : Sora ] I hpoe you’re just slaking off again.
[ Text : Sora ] Sora, I 
We
It’s so bad without uyou.
[ Text : Sora ] Please.
[ Text : Sora ] Come home.
[ Text : Sora ] We ccan’t.
[ Text : Sora ] I cant
Do this? Without you
I
[ Text : Sora ] We’re all still waiting on you.
His phone has become a definitive lifeline to keeping himself sane. Which isn’t saying much when he is haunted by another lifetime in his dreams, but—
He’s never cared for conventional, healthy methods, anyways. He takes too much care into making sure nothing happens to his phone because, well ( he doesn’t want to imagine what would happened if something happened— but he clings to the hope of a sign, anyways ).
The feeling of something distant in his soul, something missing— something rips at his soul and in the same moment something comes up on his phone—
He must have voiced some sort of anguish because he’s distantly aware of someone asking if he’s okay, but—
He can’t respond, eyes focused on the pop-up on his phone
[ ERROR: MESSAGE COULD NOT BE SENT TO RECIPIENT ]
[ Text : Sora ] I guess these aren’t getting to you?
[ Text : Sora ] That’s fine.
It was foolish for me to hope any of these messages could reach you.
[ Text : Sora ] I still haven’t looked at any of your old messages.
[ Text : Sora ] I like to think you were answering my messages.
Silly, but it helped sometimes.
[ Text : Sora ] Bfeore I could feel you. Knew you were okay.
But not today. What happened?
I know you can’t tell me but.
Wish you could.
[ Text : Sora ] Is this why Kairi couldn’t tell us?
[ Text : Sora ] I think the others can tell too.
That something is different.
[ Text : Sora ] I know I can’t call you, but can you call me?
[ Text : Sora ] It’s important.
[ Text : Sora ] Because I know
If you call, I’ll be able to find you.
[ Text : Sora ] Nothing could stop me from finding you.
Nothing.
[ Text : Sora ] So call for me?
[ Text : Sora ] I’ll see you soon, Sora
Promise.

empress ki
are these koreans gonna go as far as to let this man fall for who he thinks is just some young cool guy?
i mean - they’re not chinese so
this is kinda silly lol. if she really wanted to be let go she could have just punched him. i guess that would have gone too far
this RANDOM assassin almost kills them - he disappears. we good. no worries.
where are her own men????
NOOOOO don’t ruin it
why the fuck would she have developed a feminine slap? i think theyre gonna ruin it. like contact with a male love interest will just forcibly feminise you
ok no she came up with an excuse
god - an openhanded slap from another man lol i can see how that might be quite offensive
she just chills in the crown prince’s bath no prob lol. ok so she locked the door
she just let herself get fuckin shot for this lol
this episode moves super fast but thats fun but i still don’t know how the king and the crown prince are related. the whole hostage thing really messed things up
i just realised that i love the bro/bro mlm stuff if its actually m/f. LOL.and I KNOW it’s going to only last one fuckin episode bc we’re gonna go right back to misgyny and chattel slavery especially for women but yknow
does she remember him?? did she send the bandana? i dont know on which side she really is.
yeah ofc shes the bandana guy. i mean - DUH.
WHY RISK YOUR OWN MEN - WHAT WAS THE PLAN
is this spy gonna get her bandana now???
or are these not her own guys?? THEY ARE
is she playing the king?? like - im still trustworthy though!!!! (or at least my men are) but how could she think to rely on the crown prince???
oh no the cool big sword moustache guy!!! why would he be the spy for the king????????????? what is there to gain??????? HE’S NOT THANK GOD
YES!!!! I LOVE THEM. ‘hit me’ BAM *violently and romantically perches over him to almost stab him*
aww haha the king is attached to seung nyang. too bad you’re an evil bastard she wants to destroy
i can’t quite tell why revealing the salt location drop off point is important or not. i guess it was just and only a test.
was that the guy in blue who volunteered to be shot at? : ‘( ah it’s not.its just some nobody. I guess she couldn’t have known who knew of her blue bandana so she had to hide it. But couldn’t she have told this guy from the very beginning when they were alone?
did the official guard not get told that more people were coming???? LOL. that’s one fuckin mess
HEROIC HORSERIDING YEAAAAAAAA did she not think of a reason for being alive? ‘kill me’ OH MY GOD hahahahaa. smart but so risky (it turns out that the crown prince is the crown prince but the king is the brother of his dad’s)
is there something you want? I THOUGHT YOU WANTED MONEY oh my god this guy is gambling it all lol. oh no, he’s gonna make it too.
it’s always the ‘unrightful’ people that get villainised for wanting power
what the fuck her dad’s gonna kill all her friends and make her into a sex slave? jezus christ how dark (i read a synopsis that she gets sent to yuan after all somehow). on who’s fucking authority? couldn’t they have gotten at the very least a letter from the goddamn ‘auditor’ to protect them
oh my god. just wear your fucking ring on the outside of your goddamn clothes. that was so FUCKING close
wow that was a pretty realistic breakdown
GO SEE HIM HELLO!!!!
she became a fucking COP TO SEE HIM HOLY SHIT LOL
JUST SHOW HIM THE FUCKING RING
did she just leave her band of boys behind???
dude why is this series romance blocking me what the fuck
gotta show that Yuan is backward through furs and beads!!
i do love that this series had the guts to start off with heartbreak. but also to let the female protagonist be a big bi....amorous...?
this show somehow made me feel sympathetic towards a stinkin imperial rich kid. he didn’t ask to be born into a family that would become his death
‘young boy’ *is literally at least 40*
the KING has only 10 men to spare? really?
he’s gonna let his servant get fucking murdered in his stead? yikes. ok so that wasn’t his PLAN no. poor servant guy
so they got her a MATCH - a dirven and smart and powerful king. and a soft and unexperienced and endangered future emperor.
this is so much my fucking THING it’s insane. i don’t even mind that the king is kinda ...average looking.
and she kicks his ASS LOL. and he falls ultimately deeply in love with her. this is incredible.
i wonder if she’s going to hold the death of his servant against him
they didn’t even take his head? stupid. oh i guess that’s for the traitors.
SHE STILL DOESN’T GET ITS REALLY HIM. I THOUGHT SHE WAS SMART
really - she lets the fucking chief get the credit. are you fucking kidding me? fuck this. be smarter! hate having to say that to a character. Be! smarter!
now he gets to be WHY HIDE FROM YOUR BOYFRIEND WHAT THE FUCK. if this is gonna be the whole fuckign show i can’t take it.
im gonna need to know if she keeps fucking hiding. stop hiding! STOP. stop hiding from the important men in your life! what the FUCK. stop hiding from your dad. Stop HIDING FROM YOUR FUCKING BESTO BOYFRIEND
the prince isn’t even upset about his servant’s demise
fucking finally somebody found out seung nyang was the ONE
I love Strong King - I love vulnerable future Emperor
he’s just a stupid indoctrinated kid! somebody should explain to him all the horrors that have been done to people in his name!
we have a sequence in which she’s done great deeds, gets called in, is concerned about how she slapped the important person around lol
we’re gonna get teh exact same for Togon one day
jezus christ that’s a very romantic thing to say to a cool and heroic young guy who saved your skin twice, king. are you - i n l o v e? a lil bromance perhaps?
awww he’s so damn happyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
she’s like - fuck. wish she stayed a little more ruffian though. wheres the fucking swagger!
how am i so into this m/m ship. LOL. im really into this stronk man and rogueish ‘boy’ bonding through hardship crisis crossing all rank
im up for her teaching the prince compassion and horror and the way of the world though
I KNOW this is soon going to devolve into a palace drama though so that fucking sucks
why is the emperor a young guy and the brother an old guy. was the emperor the preferred son? from the preferred wife?
has she never heard a guy pee??? i thought she lived with soldiers and shit
why the fuck is she carrying his excrement to the sea when she’s his BODYGUARD. this went differently than i thought
he literally is alone. there is no shift of the guard with him. hello?
what the fuck is this lax bodyguard shit. you need at LEAST two so one can sleep while the other guards.
everytime she bathes im like - ALARM ALARM
this jimbo traitor is so stupid lol
commander - just approach this stupid idiot. be the dad you want to be.
you could just become his son!!! hello????
so you really care about the peoplle huhg? thats why you keep selling off women?
oh my god. is the prince also falling in love with this ‘boy’? who embodies the masculine ideal? GOD I LOVE THIS SO MUCH im gonna cry when this is over and she ends up a fucking maid
this romantic fucking epic music as they struggle in a petty fucking competition in teh surf jlsjLKFJSDLJ:FLDSF I LOVE THIS
SHE VIOLENTLY PERCHES ABOVE THIS GUY TOO. ROMANTIC MUSIC
the koreans KNOW what is good. THEY KNOW.
oh this poor guy. please let this guy meet poor people. like. idk. the stolen women made into slaves and shit
yeah yeah they bond without him knowing about losing a parent and wanting revenge
the king is like, MY BOY!! that’s MY boy!! hands off!!!! that’s my dearest bromance boy friend!!!!
oh no - shes going to have to choose who to ride with lol
oh nooooooooo Seung Nyang don’t hurt King boyfriend !
‘he will not take Seung Nyang, will he?’  i had to double take there
I FINALLY understand the appeal of all unassailable men in romance. god, my brain is weird.
give seung nyang to me. dsjfpawejfeawjfljsdkljldsjflkdfsa dude. no. i know this is a love triangle but it is just within good if they do THIS moment right
the prince is a horrible shit
nooooo seung nyang please don’t hurt the king!!! he loves you!!!!
‘why am i burning up inside?’ YOU LOVE HIM!! YOU LOVE SEUNG NYANG!!! you love this guy!!! the koreans are daring lil mfs
where is the ruffian guy with the moustache and big sword?? he was the king’s left hand man when he wasn’t king yet.
the actress has really feminised Seung Nyangs mannerisms and way of movement past few eps (oh it’s a dream)
oh my god they’re no-homo-ing this through a dream. he just FEELS like Seung Nyang is a woman!!! that’s why he’s attracted!!! lol
seung nyang loses her dad. prince doesn’t notice. jezus
he impressed some dudewith his self-righteous dragon heaven propaganda. goddddd. the prince truly does not care how many people have already died for him. WHEN will he become likeable instead of hilariously piteous
just absolutely devastating end scene. shitty k-pop outtro.o hgod
will the prince finally - through seung nyang realise that actaully it fucking sucks that people keep being horribly harmed and killed for his sake?
JEZUS CHRIST I AM ON EPISODE 5 wHAT THE FUCK THIS IS LIKE 60 episodes long. oh my god no.
the thing i like about this show is that she looks believably like a very feminine boy for korean standards.
they keep playing him as childish, selfish and incompetent. but like, soooo many people DIED FOR HIM
hwo didn’t they kill bayan for obviously killing their own guard lol
finally she confronts him with the regular people!!!
what is lord jang doing with them
wow the commander’s beard is long. they been going for a while
well he is suffering - but can’t she get to him through words. make him a better person?
he is asking an important question. ANSWER IT GODDAMNIT
thsi ‘warming’ is so ridiculous haahahaha
*has full view of covered breasts* ‘he is definitely a boy!!!!’
i don’t know what sexuality politics this is - probably very bad ones - if you’re a straight man then you’re attracted to some fundamental femaleness in women!! or something
why is a bite mark evidence
god - these powerful people have enormous egos. they must, it is bred in them.i deserve power and when it is taken from me it sucks so much i can’t breathe!!! well uh yeah - everybody feels that way you ain’t special
she looks so sick
feels empathy for the first time ever. what a wonderful fantasy. that somebody could teach a prince empathy
*goes into town completely uncovered in royal robes which haven’t been weathered at all* ok
‘why did you hide you are a woman?’ what COMPLETE AND UTTER MALE NONSENSE
WOMEN ARE GETTING DRAGGED OFF TO BE SEX SLAVES AND YOU ASK THAT??? ‘sure, im sure you had your reasons’
WHAT FUCKING IDIOT
53:50
so she gets him in and then he betrays her? lol. but does it really matter? the king won’t be tried, there’s no reason for goryeo to be annexed. seung nyang won’t die. etc. he might as well go back to his deadly golden cage without endangering himself.
is it for her dad that she asks this of him? he faints, eh that’s a fine way out.
cant she hug a king back when he hugs her????? come ON
he almost killed his fucking son. these people are so CRAAAYYYZY
*leaves the people most likely to turn on him behind with the prince*
why does he have to reveal this?? what are the stakes here??”
goryeo’s soldiers???????????? what the fuck. i thought he was gonna come up with something clever like - pirates or something. not just ‘oh it was a random weirdo band of soldiers’ no -  ‘under the orders of the king’
WHAT. hes throwing teh whole country to the wolves. if seung nyang doesn’t kill him ill be surprised. seung nyang better get him for this for a thousand fucking years.
so he’s even personally betraying seung nyang. for a tiny chance at power. damn. wow. damn wow.
jezus what a fucking way to leave your daughter! making your last exchange putting yourself down as a father. DUDE. could have ended shit in a better way!
anyway literally cried twice about her losing her dad already
anyway so they both die in her arms. great.
yeaaaaaaah swearing to kill him. good. too bad it’s gonna be like 50 eps of palace maid shit and the prince barely got a taste of poverty
really wonder how traumatising this whole - is revealed as a woman and transferred to the empire as a sex slave thing is going to be - for me i mean
‘he’s probably living well in his homeland’  - how could you trust that your orders will be followed???
this is completely unrealistic wow
doesnt she get a fucking horse
who the fuck was park bhu - the undercop?
oh apparently laughing ugly is an indication of evil for a woman. laughing maniacally is an indication of evil for a man
her archnemesis is gonna unmask her as a woman in public? i think i might have to quit this show at this exact moment.
aaand.....guess ill have to quit.
ok that wasn’t so bad
how did they have women’s silks and makeup with them
she’s literally a martial artist warrior and she can’t fight a rapist attacker with her hands free?
oh god. she’s gonna be all feminine now bc she looks like a girl. oh god. i feel kinda sick.
SHE SUDDENLY DOESN’T HAVE ANY BANGS ANYMORE BUT LONG HAIR
THAT COMB WAS MAGICAL
some classic ‘female body weak’ sexism. love getting that from the beau
i know they’re trying to make danashiri seem unsympathetic but she’s saying fuck you to sexism here. then again it’s because she’s a spoiled elite brat
they really are made for each other
holy shit. this series just goes on and on and on and on and on. i can’t do this.

2P!Spain BF Headcanons
(((i dont really know how to write for his character completely yet, but i will try my best pals!)))
oooooooooKAY so ya boi - y'know - y'boi - andres?? andres carriedo???????? - he ur boi righteeee??? - oh litty LEMME TELL YOU ABOUT HIM
HEY WHATS UP U GUYS ITS YA BOI ANDRES HERE and he is ready - is he??? - no,, he isnt,,??? - okay so uh hold up
andres isn't very good with emotions - he's not entirely sure why you're interested in him he typically shuts people out, right, so they can't interfere with his persona he puts on - then you come along - nice mcfucking job you've gone and mucked it all up now havent you?? - damn cute s/o going and making him,, feel, or whatever,,,, ,,,, >:/ youre this perfect person in his eyes, right - he sees you and he's like ffs - "i cant do this,,?? this person is??? so good,," he's a troubled boi. he's all tsundere, im sure he had a bad upbringing, having to compete with his brother and all. he got into alcohol. not good. until you show up - you're treating him like a person - you know, people usually see him and decide not to interact with him after a while - they dont think he's interested in hanging around them - but you stay? you stay and you talk to him, or you sit next to him in comfortable silence - he feels like he needs to fill it - he doesn't - it's fine bb
and you know, you're into him. you eventually start dating because, "well they're already this far in my life, let's see how much it takes to break me lol :,)" - but you don't??? he was probably drunk one night and just started spilling to you you stayed you sat with him the whole time - you were there for him
so naturally you're bound to be together omf
you understand him and vibe with him on another level and it flusters him so well - he doesn't like admitting you make him get this feeling in his stomach - "yeah its not hangover sickness i'll tell you that"   "andres what the fuck"
you get along with his couple of friends?? how do - " they fucking suck how do you like them"   " andres dont say that they're your friends lmao"   " i dont even like them that much"   " you were crying on francois telling him how pretty his ey-"   "n O I WW A SN T"
SO LIKE HE'S SO INTO YOU AND SO BLUSHY ALL THE TIME RIGHT LIKE HE TRIES TO INITIATE PDA BUT THEN HE RETRACTS LIKE ITS COLD OUT AND HE JUST JAMMED HIS JIMMY IN A DOOR - BB U GOTTA START IT SO HE KNOWS ITS OKAY TO BREATHE THE SAME AIR
lmao so he's spanish, spain is known as the country of passion - he tries his best to be romantic bU t w e ll - hes about as romantic as a freezerburnt box of taquitos he's trying
LIKE IMAGINE KISSING HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME - HE TRIES TO BE SO COOL BUT HES LIKE BLUSHING SO HARD hhhhhhh don't???? touch his hair???? it makes him sleepy but it's v soft??? - im lying totally touch it
HE DOES TAKE YOU ON REALLY CUTE DATES THOUGH - he actually puts a little too much thought into them but they're always perfect?? he is low key into body worship lemme tell you you have endless praise from this man - it's definitely only in spanish because he's shy with you, so, if you don't speak spanish then,,,,,, ;)) he cracks his knuckles directly in your ear when he comes up behind you - hwo ro m an t ic
he's actually quite the good photographer, Gilen was showing him stuff and he's like "oh lit"
sometimes he'll take "test shots" of you if he's using a camera awhh
he loves ice cream so you should totally take him to get some
YA BOI HAS TATTOOOOOOOOOOOOOS THEY'RE VERY GOOD ;)))))))))
also he is very forgetful, lucky you - read: you get all the clothes he leaves at your house always squinting because - a.) he stays up too late and it's bad for your eyes   b.) he's always tired   c.) ya boi needs spectacles
honestly the amount of times he trips in the span of a minute is s ur prising - blease catch this boi he doesn't know where he is lmao everyone thinks he's mean but you know it's just a facade - he is vvvvvv shy and tries to be gentle toward you but just gets heated and embarrassed if something goes "wrong" - it's v endearing bc he'll blush over things that arent perfect like if he messes up a compliment
he kisses your knuckles a lot - he;;;;; whispers cute things in spanish if you're in a room with other people, probably like running his thumb over your knuckles and hands (more for himself because he has a fear of crowds)
sometimes he'll point out things out of no where and cause you to have a slight existential crisis
he's totally a night owl and if you aren't then YIKES he will make you stay up with universal inquiries - it's pretty astral lmao he's kind of a good cook but - dont trust him - your stove will die
is pretty helpful but will probably do whatever you want wrong lmao - he's trying
likes to give gentle cheek kisses and hand kisses - also stomach ones - and,, thighs ;))))))))))
very hands-on but does it absentmindedly, more of a grounding technique so ya boi andres is tryin - and he all urs ;)))))

hey! if you don't mind people asking about your personal life, may i ask if you're an art major? i love your art so so much (probably the most recognizable unique styles I've ever seen!) and is just wondering hwo you got so good ;;
wdefrtnhgrfe this is so so sweet and i want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart ♥♥♥
and i dont mind sharing things about myself at all.
I took one figure drawing class around ……. 3 years ago? for 2-3 months?? aside from that and some art classes in middle+high school, i dont have much art school under my belt. A lot of the stuff i do ( and its not the best example of progress, my own methods have stunted me atm but ill grow out of it eventually ) is from trial and error. the best advice i can give is:
- draw as much as you can while also giving your brain + body time to relax. ( I know drawing all night is fun and stuff, but it really doesnt help in the long run..you NEED sleep and you need breaks to recharge yourself! ) 
- Experiment. ( even if its something small. I used to start out my doodles/solo character drawings by sketching out the head and then the body, and this resulted in a LOT of my characters standing around in the same pose. So i started sketching the body before the head, and it made it a LOT easier to come up with different poses.)- It doesnt have to be pretty. if all art was pretty/pleasing to the eye everything would be boring as hell. ( This one is hard, but i think its important…all progress is good progress. If it doesnt look super gorgeous, dont be ashamed of it! you still drew something and thats good progress. )
