⭐️ So, uh, major spoilers for my OC lore here, but I was thinking all of last night why I wanted to do my Starpoint Squad AU in the first place. My ways the story could go have been running all over the place, and I needed to pin down what it’s purpose was to recenter my focus.

I thought I’d share my thoughts with all of you so I can get you all on the same page on what you can expect to see here. (I’m realizing that my lack of explaining and vague lore drops might be giving people an unrealistic expectation as to what to expect here. .w.;)

VVV

So, in my OC Rivet’s canon story, she loses everything. Her home, her parents, her brother, and Starline— who does not change his ways— makes things worse by becoming exceedingly twisted until he meets his intended fate.

She gets no real happy ending. Doomed to lose or be betrayed by all she loves.

On the other end of the spectrum, canonically, Starline fails to gain everything he wanted and worked towards, and loses even more by not being able to let go. He’s made a fool of multiple times throughout the comics, and (imo) goes out with a whimper.

The more I think about the AU, the less it makes sense regarding the two’s individual stories. But, together.. at the end of the day, I just want them both to be happy. I want there to be a universe where both can thrive and survive and not be completely awful or miserable people.

Where Starline gets the recognition, support and love he desires, and where Rivet is able to save at least one person she cares about. Where the both of them can have a support network through the Starpoint Squad, and where things aren’t completely horrible.

That, in essence, is what this AU is about.

Friendship, redemption, and warm and happier endings. It still has sadness and angst, but it’s not permanent. It’s not as destructive to either of their characters to where they dive past the point of no return.

So yes, Starline might be kind of OOC in this one. Or at the very least, only have his Metal Virus/Bad Guys personality. It’s gonna be heavy on relationship and reconciliation, and even though canon characters will be involved, it’s more of a OC centered story.

I realize this won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, and it’s okay if people skip out because of it. I have to accept that I can’t make everyone happy, being 100% canon compliant is only going to cause me more exhausting headache, and at the end of the day, I just need to write the story I want to make and have fun.

Hope that clears things up, and thank you for reading. 💖

#tldr; the au exists because canon is too freaking depressing and i want a happy story #yes this au is gonna be extremely self indulgent #yes theres gonna be plot but happiness is the end goal #if this aint your cup of tea then i don’t blame you at all #i can hear all the hardcore villain Starline fans crinkling up their noses now #and all the hardcore Starline haters scowling at me for wanting to give him happiness at all #which is totally fair #but i just want him to be respected for his gifts and not pushed to go off the deep end #and I want Rivet to be able to save and love someone she respects #and i just really like the Starpoint Squad #general ramblings #sonic #sonic idw #starpoint au #dr starline au

Aria’s play is providing more content and interviews of him than the last half of legacies did, it’s about time someone acknowledged him and let him speak.

#text #aria shahghasemi #my posts #i mean #maybe he didn't wanna talk about legacies in the last seasons #which is totally fair #i wouldn't blame him if that was the case #but i wouldn't be surprised if those in charge just did nothing #especially after how he was treated on the show #imagine having no interviews with the male lead of your show for the last season #and there was barely anything for s3 as well #so glad we're finally seeing and hearing more from him now #it's also better content than all of s4 put together #i said what i said

Conversations with your best pal go from “Your cat is so FREAKN cute” To “You should sell your appendix on Craigslist” much quicker than they should

#to be fair #suggesting she sells her organs online is so she can pay for gas to come pet my cat #which is totally fair #shitpost

[ID: Two images showing an excerpt from the first Monster High novel by Lisi Harrison. Together, they read:

"What are you drawing?" she asked.

It wasn't the most interesting question, but it was better than anything Candance was going to say.

Jackson consulted his sketch pad as if seeing it for the first time. "It's just the carousel. You know, while it's moving."

Melody examined the blur of pastels. Inside the smudged rainbow were subtle outlines of horses and children. It had a gauzy, elusive quality to it-like the haunting memory of a dream, appearing and disappearing in fractured flashes throughout the day. "That's really good," she said, meaning it. "Have you been doing it long?"

Jackson shrugged. "Bout a half hour. I'm just waiting for my mom. She had a meeting around here, so..."

Melody giggled. "No, I meant have you been drawing long. You know, as a hobby."

"Oh." Jackson ran a hand through his hair. The choppy layers fell right back into place like cards being shuffled. "Yeah, you know, a few years."

"Nice." Melody nodded.

"Yeah." Jackson nodded back.

"Cool." Melody nodded again.

"Thanks." Jackson nodded back.

"Sure." Melody nodded.

The organ music blaring from the carousel suddenly sounded louder. Like it was trying to save them from their monosyllabic bobble-heading by offering a distraction." End ID]

What do you think of Rook's savanaclaw card? <333

I didn't get him (and I need to save my keys for Silver's birthday, sob) so I looked up his groovy, and I'm not over how incredibly dramatic and epic and cool it looks in direct contrast to the absolutely ridiculous context. just look at that dynamic action and his majestic sparkling tears and keep in mind that this is pretty much right after a bunch of characters have been dance battling for his soul.

and then even the actual moment of the groovy is just like

this is NOT a negative in the slightest, I love it all, this truly was an incredible update in so many ways

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 part 8 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 part 8 spoilers #to be fair it's not COMPLETELY wacky there is actual drama going on #but that's inbetween rook's dream-vil and neige being totally hilarious at each other #'i shan't let you hurt this beautiful child!' 'vil no! if they were to harm your beauty i would be crushed by sorrow!' <- actual dialogue #also neige seeing vil as a mother figure. it's WONDERFUL and i hope real-vil never finds out because this would kill him #just like he killed neige multiple times in his own dream! :) #there was so much wild stuff in this update and not in the least was that the second time vil realized he was in a dream #his reaction was to KILL EVERYONE and cackle maniacally about it #god forbid a queen do anything i guess #anyway i also love the contrast between what i assumed savanarook would be like and what he was actually like #'he looks so wild...what kind of dangerous dream will this mighty hunter have...' #oh no he's actually just an adorable movie geek who is SO EXCITED to share his hyperfixation with us #somehow less intimidating than regular rook #and yet still a delightful little freak. his BEDROOM #the background artist went SO ham on it. truly the magnum opus of twst backgrounds #there are a bunch of little details it is SO worth zooming in on #(including a tiny little picture of che'nya! which...actually i think that implies rook may have stolen an rsa yearbook or something) #(that's our rook! /sitcom laugh track)

I will forever feel bad for that Minerva role player who thought they had met a mature and competent person but I was actually a 12 year old

#I think about them sometimes #they were so excited to meet me #But then I think when they realized I was a cringy teenager they blocked me #which is totally fair #If they somehow see this I am very sorry #i hope you are doing well #minerva orland #fairy tail

Kieran Culkin on Roman's playboy image and the way the actors/writers understanding of backstory fits together. (x)

#thought it might be interesting to throw this out there #I think “playboy” is sometimes used in connection with Roman by Jesse/Mark in a way that can be read as a split from Kieran's view #and that's totally fair #or it can be read as consistent in that that's the image Roman works to project #which i tentatively think may be the implication for what his life looked a little like pre-series but still thinking through that #I think that's what makes Roman so interesting to watch when he's in those party environments #he's clearly good at people in a way his siblings aren't #and he knows how to be in those spaces (even if there's a discomfort with drugs and sex) #see for example how he is with Lawrence in S1 and that he knew about Rhomboid #but at the same time that's clearly not all of Roman or even an accurate reflection of his internal life #and it's unclear how frequently he actually goes out #anyway I think the point is just that Roman is interesting haha #and I think both reads support the fake playboy thing and not like...a real one lol #roman roy #succession #cast interviews #hbo succession #kieran culkin

#tmnt #rottmnt #michelangelo #baron draxum #ik a lot of people dont like draxums redemption cuz it felt rushed which is totally fair but #dragging him against his will into the found family is so great #the main thing about the episode i would change is when draxum decides on his own to save those humans #because he was def not there yet #i wouldve prefered him not caring until he sees mikey distressed about not being able to get to the ferris wheel #because hes busy with the bounty hunters #and THEN barry goes ''ugh FINE ill save the [gags] humans'' #i think thats a good first step for him. he doesnt save them for necessarily the most heroic reasons but #him caring about what mikey cares about and the willing to save a human for mikey shows progress that fits him

[relaxxattack]

every time someone calls moirallegience just an alien qpr i wilt a lil like YEAH thats more or less the CLOSEST human thing but its also Literally Not That. like a qpr is fundanmentally not romantic and thats not even going into moirails whole Actual Purpose of calming ppl down. its just. aughhhhh pisses me off i see the confusion but, as aformentioned, aughhhhh

OH MY GOD THIS HAS BEEN BOTHERING ME TOO.... but i don't want to get petty at the people in my notes always saying "moirails are QPRs!" because in some ways that is the closest human thing so it's hard to be mad...

i think there's definitely some overlap in some ways. but NOT because moirallegiance and qprs are the same at all really, but INSTEAD because both relationships have unconventional boundaries defined by the people within them.

you know... like every relationship.

like the only reason the two have overlap is because they are both partnerships that emotionally care for each other but can choose to not bang (which is true for any romance anyway, even if it's considered abnormal). they're both just romances* that are unconventional to human norms, which makes people view them as the same thing when they're not.

i think the REAL issue here is that humans insist on using human words to understand things that are just, fundamentally, alien. can't we just appreciate alien romance for being... alien romance?

no, it's not platonic, it's romantic. it's just romantic in a way you aren't quite wired to understand, is all.

*in generalization, most QPRs are not romantic, because they are made up of aroaces who are life partners in a non-romantic way. however i want to disagree with you that none of them are romantic, because that is up to the partners in question.

#quadrants #homestuck #moirallegiance #BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS FOR SO LONG OMG THANK YOU FOR THE ASK #its just i USED to think they were the same #and then recently i kept getting pissy when people said they were the same so i was like. okay let's unpack this #what's the overlap here and what's the differences? #and really people THINK theyre the same because they think theyre both like. 'im gonna platonically marry my friend!' ^w^ #(which is obviously not actually what either of them are like. lol) #when REALLY what they have in common is 'hey you're a person i want to have a committed partnership. but potentially not sex or tradition' #and it's not really fair to compare them because they come from totally different places and have totally different standards #QPR was created as an ALTERNATIVE to allonorms. its about saying 'hey lets make up our own rules. my life partner can be platonic if i want #whereas moirallegiance IS a norm and its not counter any culture. it's just 'trolls have biological romantic feelings/needs in This way.' #idk idk how to explain it any further because ive spent a fucking hour on this post and i have a massive headache so feel free to ask me-- #more specific questions if the shit i said here doesnt make any sense (；￣ー￣).. #<- wow haha the troll fictive autism really jumped out with this post huh. whoops #hsmeta #long post #op
