I'm not making a universal general statement here but maybe this will help some people who are afraid of bugs.
I'm terribly arachnophobic. horribly. I get it, the irrational fear you can't fully erase. Yes I'm an entomologist and yes everyone at work thinks it's very funny.
But the more you pick away bit by bit at that general massive ball of fear, the more you can understand it and turn fear to wonder. I started small, just learning some facts about spiders but still unable to stomache looking at pictures.
And then I realized I could look at jumping spiders fine and made an effort to try to appreciate what I could about them. From there I could realized I could look at and Touch harvestmen and that there was a whole world to them to learn and love too. And by turning that Ambiguous Ball of Fear into curiosity and respect I've gotten to a place I can live side by side with my arachnophobia and approach spiders with appreciation, even if I will cry if forced to touch one.
And I guess it makes me sad when people's response to their fear is hatred and to kill. I understand the phobia and bugs and wasps especially is real and I'll never try to convince someone they're wrong for it - but treating insects with intentional ignorance will only make it worse and keep you from a whole world of wonder.

Holy crap I’m loving your writing! Im especially obsessed with Ken and the ranch owner
I’m wondering if you’d be willing to do an fem human reader x Ken where the reader gets a bit sick, nothing too serious but Ken absolutely freaks out and thinks the reader is dying or sum (he learned about death from Stero Barbie. Also spiders. He’s terrified of both) and the reader thinks it’s a bit funny so she’s like “yeah I’m dying” but then he gives her the most terrified and sad kicked puppy look and she has to explain that it’s just a cold lol
Awh thank you!! Im glad that ppl still love my barbie movie stuff even though barbie summer has come and gone 💔
........
There were only two things that Ken feared after beginning his new life in the Real World:
One is the mortality of humans, as Barbie told him all about how fragile their lives were and the two paths they were given: either growing old and dying peacefully in their beds, or some terrible occurrence cutting it short long before their time on this earth was up.
The second was spiders.
He especially hated the spiders.
You only recently discovered he had that fear after finding one of those 8-legged critters in your house--or more specifically in his room, where he came barreling out from as though he accidentally set something on fire.
At first, you thought he really did start a fire until he dragged you back into there, begging you to get rid of the "strange beast".
You had no clue what he could possibly be referring to....and then he pointed to the corner, where a little cellar spider sat completely unbothered, weaving its web.
In that moment, you realized you may have turned him arachnophobic, considering you did show him one insect-themed horror movie this past Halloween. He kept freaking out over it potentially growing horse-sized or injecting venom into his bloodstream when he was asleep.
But despite you assuring him neither of those things could happen (and insisting that the spider was more afraid of him), Ken refused to go into the room until it was gone.
You find it hard to fathom that this same doll who led an entire revolt, came to terms with his own identity crisis, and bravely made the transition to humanity....was totally inconsolable in the presence of a tiny bug.
Then again, maybe showing him that movie--and allowing Barbie to explain why arachnophobia was among the top fears humans had--was a huge mistake.
Regardless, you made it your mission to get rid of the critter.
Oddly enough Ken insisted that you didn't actually kill it, but you found you it sweet that he valued its life despite it scaring the shit out of him. So you contained it in a cup, putting a napkin underneath it before releasing it outside.
After that, you mentioned how most people usually killed spiders and other pests that invaded their home.
He looked wildly uncomfortable at that fact, before he began talking about some rather... concerning things: like if the spider knew how short its lifespan was, how easily it could have been crushed, if it feared death or if it was even aware of it at all-
Before he could derail and start rambling about death itself too much, you stopped him, asking if he was feeling alright.
And he went quiet for a moment, before smiling and giving you a kiss, reassuring you he felt better.
Yet even as he left the room, he still appeared awful tense.
It was that day where you worried that it's more than just spiders he feared..
.......
"Babe, what's wrong? Are you sick??"
"...unfortunately, but it's nothing serious. Just a stupid cold I caught at work." Sighing tiredly, you sat up in bed, seeing Ken walk into the room.
He looked nothing short of horrified at how drained and exhausted you sounded this morning. "A-Are you sure?"
"Yeah. I don't want you to catch anything, so I'm sorry...but no kisses today."
"Then..what about tomorrow?"
You just rolled your eyes, drinking some tea you made for yourself. "Maybe, but we'll see if I wake up."
Although it was meant to be a little joke, your foggy brain forgot how seriously the blond often took jokes, and he rushed to your bedside, kneeling down.
His eyes were wide as he took your hand. "If you wake up??? Are you dying??"
Putting down your mug, you sighed once more, trying to figure out a way to remedy this situation before you upset him too much. "No....I mean I just feel like I'm dying, but.." You paused, noticing the tears coming to his eyes. "Ken?"
Now that he was a lot closer, you could see the utterly terrified look on his face--as though you kicked a puppy right in front of him.
Yep, it was already much too late. He was upset.
"I-I know tomorrow is not guaranteed for anyone, but you have to get through this, [y/n]! Please..I can't lose you, too...not when you've done so much to help me." He was extremely close to crying, his lips trembling.
Your heart sunk as you placed a hand ober his own. "Oh honey, I was only kidding around when I say-"
"Why do humans joke about death so much? Don't they know y-you...you can't come back? That they have such short lives?? O-Or sure, some believe you can be reincarnated but that doesn't make it any-"
At this point, he was just blubbering nonsense, so you took him into your arms. And for a moment he fell silent, before burying his face into your chest, trying to calm himself down. "I-I'm sorry.."
"No, no..I'm sorry. You're right..I shouldn't be joking about death around you." Frowning slightly, you stroked his hair. "I promise I'm not dying. Not today, or tomorrow..not for a long, long time. This cold will pass and I'll feel better soon enough."
".....a-are these the irrepressible thoughts of death Barbie had?"
'Oh.'
It finally hit you.
He was going through the same thing she once did.
"Ken.." You had him sit up so you could see his face. Aside from it being a little red and his eyes puffy and watery, there were tear marks trailing down to the stubble that had formed along his jaw and chin. "Why didn't you tell me you were having those thoughts?"
Sniffling, he just shrugged. "I don't know. And... I don't know why I'm thinking them. Barbie could blame it on somebody who was playing with her, but...I can't. Because I'm not a doll anymore, I'm human....a-and...those were my thoughts alone." He shuddered, terrified at that realization. "I guess I just..didn't wanna scare you, b-but obviously it's too late for that..."
A small chuckle came from him, although it dissolved into a small sob as he wiped his eyes. "S-Sorry, I....I want these thoughts to just pass already."
"And they will." You nodded, squeezing his free hand reassuringly. "It looks like you're just experiencing them for the first time, and that's okay. They won't be all you think about. And you don't have to apologize for how you're feeling, as long as you're honest with me."
"Th-Thank you.." He sniffled. "I should be taking care of you, not the other way around. Do you need you anything? More tea? Meds? Anything at all?"
You smiled fondly, leaning forward to kiss him on the forehead. "You're all I need right now, sweetheart."
That response seemed to bring Ken's giddy old self back, as he smiled bashfully in return. He melted back into your arms when you wrapped them around him, and he listened to your heartbeat: the only assurance he needed that you were still living.
Eventually...those thoughts of death did pass him by, and he felt okay again.

Prompt 3 bc you said I'm in a chaos mood
Tumblr media
You said you lost it, was this it?
Treat Spiders the way you want to be treated. Killed without hesitation.
3D my gorgeous child. When you first sent your prompts, I was hyper fixating on jornos. But at 11pm we had an idea and brain said: WRITE IT! and speed wrote it. So I hope you like this extremely angsty fic because it is just angst on angst on angst :D
cw: death mentions (there's a lot but no one other than a mention bugs actually dying), fear, panic, anxiety, spider hybrids (arachnophobes I gotchu) death, a bit graphic with descriptions. In other words: I went hard with angst lol promise it has happy ending one shot words: 1204
Disclaimer! This story is based on the characters of the Dream SMP and not the real life content creators. Anything that occurs in this story is purely fiction and should be treated as such. Thank you.
Shroud knew he wasn't going to make it. His own mother had made that clear to him the day he had hatched, but he had never thought he was going to meet his end this way. It was a cruel life to be born into, but he had managed and now he was fully grown to a good 2 inches tall. All his siblings had long since left the cocoon leaving him to fend for himself. In a world that was kill or be killed, he was lucky he had survived this long. Even if it was through hiding in the unreachable crevices of his old home to avoid being picked off. But without anyone or anything left in the cocoon to provide him nutrients with, he’d eventually been forced to leave and find somewhere that had more food available. 
He’d seen many things on his journey looking for a safe haven to call home. Many terrible and horrible things. He’d watched as helpless other spiders had been snatched up and devoured by birds. Watched as heavy rains drowned other insects and bugs. He’d witnessed how insects and bugs fought others of their own species and eaten the remains of their dead foes. He was lucky in the sense of being a spider hybrid, having the smarts of a person rather than just another mindless prey, but having witnessed such horrors the world could cause, made him ever restless in his search for safety. But even they were nothing in comparison to how he was to meet his end. 
He’d only heard of them in legend. One of the few stories his mother had told him when they went to sleep at night. Out of all the predators in this world, none are more ruthless and terrifying than humans. 100x a spider hybrids size with triple the smarts. While they seem just like them minus 4 arms and a few other features, never mistake: they will only ever bring about your doom. For every way you could possibly think of dying, they had 10 plus more unimaginable ways to bring about your death. They could squish you beneath their gigantic thumbs, use their despicable sprays to poison the air, suck you up and leave you to die in their monstrous machines, trap you in jars and use you for experimentation or perhaps even burn you alive! The humans were creatures that could and would only bring about your demise. And Shroud was trapped in one’s cabinet. 
He didn’t know it was a humans’ home he had stumbled upon. The space he’d been scouting had been clear of any living creature for several hours before he had even dared getting closer and climbing up with the help of his webs. But as he had made his way about looking for food, the loud voices of people approaching could be heard, along with the vibrations of their footsteps shaking the earth as they went. It wasn’t hard to guess what was coming. Shroud didn’t have time to think as the door to the cabinet was flung open. He tried to hide behind one of the boxes on the shelf in attempts of not being seen, but unfortunately for him, it was the very box he was hidden behind that the human grabbed.
 A loud scream filled the air, as did the sound of a box crashing harshly down and onto the floor. “THERE’S A SPIDER IN THE CABINET!!!” The human shrieked. Shroud threw his hands over his ears at the sheer volume the human spoke in. “TOMMY!!!! GET IN HERE AND KILL IT!!!” Shroud froze at the humans’ words. He tried to turn and run, but his legs felt like jelly and he barely stumbled a few steps before falling to the cabinets floor. “TUBBO?!? TUBBO WHAT’S WRONG??” A second humans’ voice appeared yelling in alarm. Shroud continued to try and get away, till he had scrambled into the corner of the cabinet. 
“It's in the Cabinet Tommy. Top shelf! Kill it!! Please kill it! Kill it! Kill it!!!” the first human shouted again. 
A shadow was suddenly cast over Shroud, blocking out the light. He scrunched his eyes tightly shut, as his entire body began to shake uncontrollably. His breathing became short and staggered as he waited for his impending doom. He didn’t want to see how he was going to die. He’d tried so hard to make it. He’d survived with so little for so long. He just wanted to find someplace safe! 
“A spider is not going to hurt you Tubbo so just- oh. Hello.” The human spoke above him, surprise laced in their voice. When nothing happened, Shroud peaked an eye open and was surprised to see not the human ready to kill him, but instead adorned with a soft gentle smile. “Just look at you.” They exclaimed, reaching their hand towards him, their pointer finger outstretched. Shroud shut his eyes once more and buried his face into his 6 arms tighter, willing himself to just disappear from existence.
“Tubbo you d*** head, this isn’t a spider. It’s a tiny spider-human-like hybrid.”
The human began to gently scratch the top of Shrouds head. He relaxed slightly at the contact. No one had ever touched him like this before. “Well just hurry up and kill it Tommy! It’s still a spider!” the other human screeched at its human friend. 
“Tubbo! You can’t say s*** like that!” The human replied as he stopped scratching Shrouds head. Shroud whined at the loss of contact lifting his head as if to follow after the giant appendage. He didn’t want them to stop. 
“Like that huh?” The human said, smirking a little at his display. 
Shroud looked the human over once more. They were like nothing he’d ever imagined. They had blond curly hair and bright blue eyes and were staring at him like he was the most precious thing in the entire world. But that didn’t make sense? Humans were supposed to be ruthless killing machines? Even their friend had seemed desperate for their companion to dispose of him! Why were they being so kind? 
Suddenly the human's hands reappeared and scooped him up off the shelf and into its grasp. He wanted to fight it and get away, but Shroud couldn’t help himself from melting into the warmth beneath him. It was so nice and it felt safe. “Oh you’re such a sweetie.” The human said, raising him up higher to his face to get a better look at him. “What’s your name?” they asked. Oh so quietly, he responded “Shroud.” he said semi trying to hide himself at being so close to the apex predator. 
“It’s nice to meet you Shroud. I’m Tommy.” The human- Tommy said with a smile. “Would you like to get something to eat?” He asked. Shroud gave a very hesitant nod, and Tommy began to walk out of wherever it was they were in and to somewhere new. Not even acknowledging the other freaked out human as they went. 
And it was after that day that two things happened to Shroud. He finally had found himself a safe place to call home, and somehow gained a loving protecting father.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
wow. just wow. I just chose angst writing this. like man. Just how many different ways can I cram in death in one fic? A lot it seems. If you read to the end, thanks for doing so and I hope you enjoyed the fic ❤️

Soo in the End Of Hope tyrant prince ending.. what does the beaten rebellion do? What are their lives like now?
!!!!!!!!! I am terrible at remembering I have things in my inbox cause I don't get the little number on the letter because tumblr is dumb so I'm sorry this is so late
So there's a few thoughts on that located here, but let's get into it.
WARNING: DARK!! also Brainwashing, Mind control, Objectification, and probably Dehumanization in here. Bad End.
Also, this ended up getting LONG so it's under the cut.
So first off are the spiders. Their fate is pretty straightforward. The Queen, as Red promised, is trapped screaming inside her own head while her body runs around being basically a public use public service robot. Anything she gets told to do, happens. Obviously not like, illegal or harmful things, no one could tell her to attack someone or rob a store (not that they would, why would anyone even think of something so horrible in the Perfect Golden City?) if someone tried she'd just like, shut down until a new order was given. But anything else if fair game. carry groceries? Clean up after someone's dog? jump up and down three times and swear to everyone she meets today that the sky is magenta? Done, done, and done.
Goliath is got as far away from the main palace as possible. He's big and strong, so it's easy to just permanently melt his brain, leave him as a manual worker who's blissfully happy all the time, and ship him off to do hard labor somewhere where Xiaotian never has to see his creepy gross spider self again. (Because while Xiaotian needs to keep the Spider Queen in the pubic eye, a 'Symbol of Triumph and his power to redeem even the worst sinners' A warning of what will happen if he catches anyone else trying to ruin his perfect city. There's a reason the celestials have backed off any tentative plans to stop him. They didn't pay attention in time, and now it's too late. And Syntax and Huntsman are kept close for other reasons, the arachnophobic boy wants to get rid of at least one of them if he can)
Wich brings up Huntsman. He went under the 'needs permission but is permanent' version of the Oblivion Track. The price for them not completely breaking Syntax's brain wide open and leaving him most likely braindead. He had to willingly let Red Son and Xiaotian back into his brain, to turn him back into the perfect little pet wife they'd been working on. And Red delighted in making Huntsman 'train' himself. Not just sit there and let them break him, but actively do it to himself. Eventually, he starts begging for more 'sessions' because the faster he loses himself, the faster it stops.
And Syntax get's to watch. Because he's a hybrid, and technically a forced hybrid, his mind is a mess and the venom in his system isn't helping. He's immune to normal versions of Oblivion, but then so is Xiaotian. He needed a special remix trained to the specific mix of human, yaoguai, and celestial that he's ended up as under the Monkey King's influence. So they knew they could make something that worked on him, it would just be time-consuming. Hence the deal Huntsman made to save Syntax. But until they get that done, his life is awful. He'd kept drugged most of the time, so that he can't try and escape or fight back. He's only ever really awake (where he's chained up, still mostly drugged, and with a constant electric current forced through his body to keep his mechanical limbs from being operable) when he's being forced to watch Huntsman's 'training'. So it ends up being almost a relief when Xiaotian comes in one day to 'test things' and Syntax feels his mind falling away from him.
Syntax also ends up 'wifeafied' as it were. Huntsman fixated on him during his 'training' and it was easier for all parties to just go along with it. Plus, Sandy is a bleeding heart so when he got the story about 'kidnapped and forcibly turned into a spider demon' and how Syntax was also his Wife's friend, he offered to take him in. (Poor Sandy has had his mind messed with to the point he just basically sees the two spiders the same way he does his cats. Like pets and Syntax is the poor stray his sweet Huntsman brought home for him to take care of) So Syntax ends up all victorian era ballgowns, because the design makes it hard to move, and he can tuck those 'unsightly disgusting you hate them, hate that they were forced on you' mechanical limbs under the folds. And the corseting makes it hard for him to breathe, constantly putting pressure on his back and the painful implant buried in his skin. Red holds a grudge.
Then there's DBK. He gets exactly what Red Son promised him. He is reunited with his Wife on Flower Fruit Mountain. And he and Princess Iron Fan then get extremely fine detail Oblivion work done on them, curtosy of Yin and Jin's calabash, which had been repurposed to trap someone in a full immersion of the music and then new memories can be programmed in for the victims subjects to live out thus perfectly replacing their old ones. (Xiaotian wants to get this right he'd screwed up with these two once before, and that was before his darling perfect Wife asked for the most perfect doting adoring Mama and Papa to have loved him growing up before handing him off to his even more perfect and wonderful Huband whom he was always meant to belong to.) Sun Wukong happily takes to the arrangement, and a little bit of Oblivion in his ears has him totally sold on the new history. 500 years sealed away? What are you talking about?
The unnamed human and random demon 'leaders' of the rebellion are, of course, 'rehabilitated'. They're all kinda braindead now, but they're so happy to be free of that horrible Spider Queen and what she was forcing them to do. They're a bit in between a warning and just getting them out of the way and making sure they can't do anything to anyone else. They serve time, of course, for their crimes, but that these days is almost exclusively community service. Out in places where they can be exposed to the thrum of Oblivion all day long, driving the changes in deeper
Most of the average members of the rebellion are grouped up and mass blasted with Oblivion and the story of how they were 'kidnapped' and 'abducted' and forced to serve the Spider Queen in her horrid plans. How none of it was of their own free will and even thinking about that time is painful so it's best to just stop thinking about it altogether and let all those memories fade away. Families are reunited there is a lot of celebrating and everyone sings the Golden Prince's (because he's more than just the Monkey Prince now, he's stepped out from under Sun Wukong's shadow) praises for defeating this last great evil in their perfect home.
And then there's Macaque. Who was both part of the rebellion and not. Their spy and informant, but not active in what was being plotted. Who, most importantly, is Sun Wukongs brother in all but blood. He now wears the Golden Circlet that graced the Monkey King's brow on the Journey. He needs it. He knows he does. His nature is dark and violent and he hates that about himself. He wants to be good. To be good and bright and kind, to be worthy of the love his brother still gives him. And someday he will be. Someday he'll stop slipping up and having those violent episodes, (Please, Wukong please! Just let me go! I won't cause problems, you'll never see me again, please), that force his brother to use it to stop him hurting himself or, worse, someone else. Someday he'll be the perfect brother, someone the Great Sage, Equaling Heaven, would be proud to have by his side.
(Macaque begged Sun Wukong not to let Xiaotian take his mind from him. That if he was going cause everything that was Macaque to be stripped away, to at least let it be by Wukong's own hand. And so the Monkey King promised. He takes exclusive control of Macaque, and his exposure to oblivion. This means he doesn't have Xiaotian's years of expertise to draw on, even if he is getting advice, and the results of that, combined with the celestial monkies all having a level of natural immunity to Oblivion, is that sometimes the programing 'slips' and the old Macaque comes out for a bit. But that's ok. Sun Wukong knows that enlightenment and change are a process. But he's going to be here the entire time, helping his brother just like SWK was once helped himself. He had the tightening sutra memorized before the Journey was even half over after all.)

I need to say wtf just happened, cause wtf. Wtf. Waaaaat tf.
Advanced warning if you're quesy about people getting sick, or afraid of spiders. :/
Not a good morning. It's not even 4:30. I'm nauseous and can't afford to go back to sleep because I can't find my puke bucket and will likely get sick on my carpet if I do. And I don't wanna clean that. That's fine. Let's just take a quick shower, yah know, feel better/wake up a little cause oh boy it's gunna be a MorningTM.
I DID NOT SEE THE FUCKER. I HAVE NO CLUE WHERE HE COME FROM.
Just that huh, that feels odd on my- Oh fuckm my fucking foot, shit that's a spider! As I kick it across the shower.
This line of thought was quickly followed with, 'shit, I should have gotten a picture' and 'Fuck. I don't recognize that.'
Which is both good. And bad.
Good: I'm familiar with most of the venomous animals native to my area. MOST.
Bad: I always have an issue recognizing recluses. And recently my area has been finding a lot of non-native spiders in people's homes.
1 mini (not so mini) panick later, followed by the 5 year old walk of shame to my parents room to wake my mother, and she looks at the rush of messages I sent her. (Her phone is put on silent when she goes to sleep)
"You said you think it came from the drain?"
"Yeah...."
"Okay. Probably just a smaller wolf spider... Go find the trauma kit,the hydrocortisone is at the top. Your brother had it last cause of the hike, so ask him where it is."
"OK."
"And draw a circle around the bite. Easier to track swelling."
"K"
I applaud my mother on her patience and wisdom, because I had neither this morning...I also had to wake my brother up to find the trauma kit. But he was pretty chill, it's not the first time that I have had to go looking for it in godawful hours of the morning.
But now my brain won't let me go back in the bathroom. And I can't take the shower I wanted :/
And I gotta be up and leaving to go across town at 7:30 ish to go do memorial clean up with Scouts. Which is great and all, but it's gunna suck after not getting proper sleep.
So hooray! The tale of my 3rd? 5th? Major animal freak out in the bathroom :)
- Hydrate le arachnophobe
Tumblr media
Oh shit....that sounds like a terrible morning and chaotic as hell. I am terrible with spiders myself, I just freeze so your reaction to the situation seem to be way better than mine
Hope it is all good for you now

I hate spoooders. They’re scary. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫
I'm so terribly arachnophobic that even seeing a discolored spot on my ceiling makes me scared since I don't typically wear my glasses around the house.
AND THEN THERE'S THE BATHTUB INCIDENTS WHICH LEADS ME TO STORYTIME.
When we lived in an apartment in town, out landlord wouldn't do anything about bug infestations and since we had cats, we needed something safe. Insert the "don't kill the spiders, ___" rule. They always were in the bathroom and I really loved bubble baths. Needless to say, so did the spiders. They would just hop INTO the bathtub WITH ME and I'd scream like I was being murdered because they were most of the time black widows and brown recluse. Insert Mom, spider killer extraordinar (don't know if I spelled that right).
My ass would go running out of that bathtub so fast while I was screaming my head off and my dad would be pissed while my mom is trying to explain that my fear is legitimate; I'm literally naked in a bath full of bubbles that I can't see through with some scary ass spider in the water. And the only spiders we shouldn't kill are the daddy long legs. I was okay with those weird things because they didn't look anywhere near as threatening as these HIGHLY POISONOUS SPIDERS HOPPING IN MY BATHS. I was like 10yos and was very determined to not come close to being eliminated by a spider. I was like "I HAVE BOOKS I NEED TO READ BEFORE I DIE! AND SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGHS TO BE MADE!"
Sorry for the rant.😅

Hello,
I hope it's okay if I ask a quick question?
I've read The Last Girl Scout and absolutely loved it and I adore your writing! When it comes to In the Court of the Nameless Queen everything I read from your summaries and from the reviews you reblog seems like the short stories would be my jam.
The problem is that I have terrible arachnophobia and while it's very visually based (where photos or the real thing would trigger it) written word can be iffy.
I guess what I'm trying to ask is how in detail are the scenes with the Spider Queen if that makes sense? Like would any of the scenes with them trigger an arachnophobic response?
I am very sorry if none of this makes sense and feel free to ignore this and no pressure to answer.
Aw shucks, thanks <3
Out of the four stories, spiders don't show up in the 3rd one and are pretty incidental to the 2nd one but are kind of central to the 1st and 4th. Overall, it is probably not arachnophobia-safe, I'm afraid.

TREVOR WATSON PLEASE. I'm starved for some Trevor content really. Thanks <3
what a legend
practically lives off coffee
your local musical hater
(but he does secretly enjoy dancing)
avid cartoon enthusiast
he claims the only genres of movies he likes are horror and thriller, but he will honestly watch anything
terrible cook. he could burn water. it's impossible, but he could
canonically quite artistic, if he hadn't done a degree in engineering, he probably would have done an art-based subject
is extremely arachnophobic
was expelled from many schools for getting into fights
i've kinda run out of stuff (i didn't have many headcanons for trevor to begin with) but if i think of anything else i'll reblog this
send me a cornley character (or duo) and i’ll give you some of my headcanons for them

@metagalacticgazer I did a thing!
Race: Animalia (spider)
Class: Healer
Skill class: I made her a pirate, I'm not sure if that's one
Title: none unless I give her a pirate name hmm
Stuff about her (I might have rambled, there's a lot-):
Her name is pronounced "rill-leh"
She's a spider since for the longest time I've been an arachnophobe (I'm fine with them now to a certain extent though!)
She's a healer since I tend towards characters that can do massive damage in one go. Healer class can't do that.
If she levels up enough, she will subclass as a necromancer
She never swears, substituting them with other words unlike myself *cough cough*
I was going to give her mechanical spider arms before scrapping the idea
She might sleep with one of her eyes open :)
She has venom
Headcanoned the ship she was on was called the Black Deluge
Rille has really good memory. Probably can remember stuff clearly for up to 10 years
Her strength weakness relates to my tendency to choose strong characters.
Her intelligence weakness just refers to her not being the sharpest tool in the shed. She can do some pretty stupid things sometimes.
I didn't put it in but I headcanoned that Rille is terrible in stealth (I mean do you see those back arms?). If she has to sneak through a place, she's charming someone into letting her pass and not tell a soul.

Oh Lovely S!💘 Yeah you can call me emoji anon, I love emojis😍 Hey!! 🎉 I can't believe how much we agree on IPK!! Believe me, whenever I'm having a bad time,I watch the 24 hour challenge event until They wake up together😂 Then I stop. I even edited that*mission Raizada ko jagaye rakhna taki Jahapana ki saltanat ko takleef na hoo by his Kaneez" scene with my friends dialogues LMAO.😹 I've seen it umpteen times. But the way he tried to ¿?WIN?¿(!¡) her back is detestable (1)
(2) I couldn't believe,after waking up with that mellowness, how can Arnav be so rude!🥺 Then in EJ,he never said he feels guilty for not remembering his anniversary,he was larking. 😏😠I don't find his gifts affectionate until he realizes he is at fault,he isn't repenting, he's bought gifts so that Khushi comes back,not because he's sorry. He remains the same person if he ain't comprehending what's wrong. Ultimately, it's not about apology, it's about perceiving what's important for my partner.
(3) Yeah,I love Arnav. I adore him😚 But but but, about that turning lights off so that Khushi comes into my arms was vile, loathsome! 😤 Using ones mental weakness to manipulate her is heinous Never Romantic. I'm so pleased to see you've raised your voice for it. I am arachnophobic, anyone can get me to his arm if he shows me a spider near me. I would probably faint. So using my phobia to get me is never appealing.
(4) We, who are not afraid of the darkness, can't possibly grasp what Khushi feels when it's dark. We may find it amusing that it's easy to influence someone just by turning the lights off, but it's not funny at all. Khushi forgives Arnav so quick, but we would never. You're Absolutely right about Even in their world, Arnav needs therapy.👏🏻 I know It's a loongg text, 😒 but couldn't limit my excitement to share my thoughts with you. Thanks thanks thanks 💐 I Love you the way you are💋💕💞
(5) Opps JWB! Yeahhhhhhhhhhh you should definitely post EJ roasts🤩🤩 I love your humours 😁😁 You're making ravishing posts on Instagram. Watching something enunciating my most fav show on my fav social media is a Bliss. 😊
HI HI HIIIIII EMOJI ANON!

You are SO sweet. Haye main kya bolu? Here are my two cents on all of your asks:
1) The beauty of IPK is that it can be enjoyed in so many ways! Uff the comedy in that track is GOLD! 
2) I felt constant gaps in writing/mood of the characters. Again, TV writing is incredibly hard and taxing so I don’t blame them much but yeah I just felt there were a lot of places here that I was filling mentally to match what happened. You know the thing with apology is two things for me:
- I don’t need groveling, too much groveling might ruin what apology stands for. There needs to be guilt and realization and an attempt to correct what went wrong. Nothing more.
- A conversation. An acknowledgement. A realization is not enough if one has not communicated it to the other person. I am, personally, a fan of someone conversing or using minor actions to genuinely convey an apology and work on their issues.
So sometimes I wish there were simpler scenes where they just talked. Like they did about Dadi, his mum, Mum’s garden and so on. 
EJ Arnav is not canon for me. The Arnav we know would never forget. And if he did he wouldn't make light of it.
3) I mean there are many things in that scene that annoyed me - like Arnav not realizing the seriousness behind Khushi’s hesitation to ‘accept’ him as husband when he has belittled the relationship in front of her (also the prob is Arnav keeps things so majorly to himself, like at no point does he actually tell her he feels sorry or that he does take this relationship seriously and it means a lot to him) but I’m not too upset given this set of memes, now I always laugh when I look at these scenes. credit: @ajeeb-ho-tum

4) Thank you so much for the love <3
5) Haha yes I will roast Ek Jashn pretty soon, lol I have SO much material on it it might just take me 2 whole days to write it up! And yes, I’ll try to be more frequent on Insta - somehow I suck terrible at Instagram. 
Thanks for ALL the love and thoughts Emoji Anon!!!

The first time I listened to the Magnus Archives all the way through, I skipped MAG 16 Arachnophobe because I have a terrible crippling fear of spiders and I figured for my own sanity it would be better if I just didn't listen to it. Anyways, I finally listened to it tonight and I'm here to report that I was correct the first time around
