me becoming a gortash apologist apparently

i never thought i'd say this. i am thinking about Enver Gortash. i'm usually not one of his apologists but... i've had brain rot for my Durge lately, and i think a big moment of developing your Durge is how you react to meeting Gortash again, yeah? you may or may not be close with Karlach but the party and Durge especially have all faced similar trauma of betrayal and exploitation nonetheless (and so has Gortash), he's already been introduced vaguely at the end of Act 2 as a threat/main villain, he worships Bane, he has general edge lord vibes (remember that bit where I'm usually not a Gortash apologist djdjdjd); what i'm trying to spit out, is there's a lot to sway you against Gortash in that first meeting. and I'd argue even a little further, as someone that followed Orin's plans of betrayal against him in my first Tav run, (just because her audacity is so damn funny.)

But anyway. Meeting Gortash. Finding out you used to be close. Perhaps homoerotically, perhaps in a strange platonic manner, or some other third thing, but nonetheless, Durge is assumably the only person Gortash has ever truly liked. He just really goes out of his way with praise at meeting again, the use of the word favorite is notable, and if Gortash had anyone worth elevating, he would, right? That was how Ketheric got here, Orin wants more credibility for herself and the Bhaalists, and Gortash... just enslaves his parents in their old home/business. But he liked you. He's really so similar to Astarion (it's nothing, you're just the only person I've ever truly cared for); he's just already a touch too far gone in his power hungry search for security. He's already repeated the cycle, years and years ago with Karlach as the main example and just the inevitability of being Bane's Chosen. And yet - Durge comes marching through the door again with this band of misfits and his old lackey he wronged, and he's willing to make a true bargain.

And I know it's just in Gortash's character to scheme, but l think playing as reformed Durge makes Gortash's potential deal all the more devastating, since he will truly follow through on his word (or, at least he would.)

It's so funny to show up dating Astarion or Shadowheart, and imagine them teasing you later that night, saying they thought you'd have better taste. Or the bitterness of being with Karlach, knowing that you seemed to be in such deep kahoots. And so on. The point is not valuing that past relationship with Gortash. Focusing on the shiny and new.

And like whatever. Gortash isn't ever going to publicly present that his feelings are hurt but like... wouldn't they? Your past lover or at the very least, only close friend struts in, now thinking they're some big shot, so beyond everything you two had ever done... when you always lived in their shadow beforehand, frankly. Gortash adores how this flawless plan was majorly Durge's, critiques Orin's sloppy manner of filling your place, how Ketheric was just a means to an end. But he liked you. The person who helped him raid Mephistopheles' vault, in turn helping him spit not only in the arch devil's face, but his past captor, Raphael's too (since Raph lives chronically in the shadow of his father, imo.) The person who thought they could formulate and enact this whole plot, and the only one he was willing to follow, to be an equal with, now coming to tell him what everyone always does, inevitably.

A final fuck you, or some form of betrayal, the same thing that caused his mess all those years ago when sold off to that warlock.

It would have to hurt, and while it's funny to imagine my little gnome Durge dying inside and cackling to the party about sleeping with an enemy and technically being the enemy... a little obssessed at the angst you could perceive of Gortash somehow falling for any crazy Bhaalspawn, nonetheless Durge, who was never one for morals, coming back renewed and not to come get him or work things out... but to slay him or turn against him. I'd send the Steelwatchers after our asses too.

In conclusion, Gortash, probably:

sigh. my bias against greasy little guys could never truly make me hate you, enver gortash. look at you, the man that you are.

assigning a Pokemon to every Doctor Who

Because I Want To(TM)

Gonna do this within the specific Pokemon/Doctor Who crossover AU framework of: 1. Pokemon exist everywhere in the universe and 2. The Doctor's partner Pokemon is actually connected to the TARDIS. It's like a little part of her personality that she sounds out to accompany the Doctor and help them out.

Also, I'm choosing first-stage Pokemon, mainly so that there isn't imbalances in strength between choices. Let's just say that this TARDIS partner Pokemon can evolve on the fly when needed but prefers to be small and cute.

Okay, with that out of the way, let's go!

First Doctor: Eevee It's a classic that's full of potential, not quite done cooking but already iconic.

Second Doctor: Zorua Crafty yet adorable. I can just picture Jamie and Zoe cooing over it and lapping up all the adoration. Illusions are very, very handy in a pinch!

Third Doctor: Pichu It can power his gadgets! It can nibble on wires to foil villains' plans! It matches the color scheme of his sonic screwdriver!

Four Doctor: Cottonee Extremely fluffy- I like to think it hides in his hair. Insert grass-type-weed joke here.

Fifth Doctor: Fomantis It rides around on his lapel instead of the celery! Also, its evolution Lurantis has matching baconpants.

Sixth Doctor: Litten It's a cat, it's a fire type, I shouldn't really need to explain this one. (It uses Sunny Day to help give Peri's plants sunlight!)

Seventh Doctor: Murkrow Clever, shady, and has a nice hat. (I also headcanon Ace with a Combusken, so Seven & Ace both have birds.)

Eighth Doctor: Litwick Ghostly candle matches his gothic edgelord vibes. Probably won't steal your soul.

War Doctor: Lucario Making an exemption to the first-stage rule because the Warrior doesn't have time to mess around. Despite joining the Warrior in full-on combat, Lucarios have an in-built sense of right and wrong. Proof, perhaps, that the Warrior hasn't entirely lost his way...

Ninth Doctor: Houndour A bit intimidating, a bit prickly, but deep down, it's still a good dog at the end of the day.

Tenth Doctor: Shinx Keeping with the canine themeing but this time upping the cuddly. Don't think too hard about how dangerous electricity can be.

Eleventh Doctor: Rowlet Okay, this one's just cuz it has a bowtie.

Twelfth Doctor: Noibat It's a living boombox! I like to think that the Noibat holds a guitar sound cord in its mouth to amplify the Doctor's guitar playing through its ears.

Thirteenth Doctor: Swablu Similar typing and evolution line to the previous, but this one takes the joyful exterior to the max. It even matches her color scheme!

That's all I've got for now, if you have different ideas for partner Pokemon, or for other Doctors that I didn't tackle, please tell me about them!

WAIT UR THE ‘demitri and eli take a gay little road trip to find miguel’ GUY?? I LOVE THAT FIC OMG

YES HI I'm That Guy!!! That's my fic!!! Thank you for still noticing and reading it!!! <3 <3 <3

TBH it hasn't been getting a lot of comments or interaction lately, so I wasn't sure if people were still following it or really thinking about it much D: I definitely am going to continue and I have pretty solid plans up through about Chapter 13, but I got caught up in good old Adult Things (got a car part stolen and had to speedrun finding a job, and by some insane miracle I landed a good one???) and had to sorta get my life together for a while. I was also pretty bummed and discouraged that the Elimetri fandom kinda fizzed out after S5, and the hype that was there after S3 and S4 seems few and far between these days </3 And when someone DOES show up and get hyped about my boys, it always seems like they get bored after like 2 weeks and vanish into the ether again D: I feel like an immortal roaming the ruins of a once great and thriving civilization akjsalksufhdulrh

BUT ALL THAT TO SAY this is really encouraging <3 <3 Love that people are still invested, and now that my life has stabilized a bit, I may actually get Chapter 7 done ^^; The canon Mexico plotline was the most underwhelming thing I've ever seen in my entire life (and Season 5 as a whole and I just...did not really Vibe for a lot of reasons), and it's frustrating because like!!! Why would you introduce this grand epic quest for Miguel to find his dad and learn about his Dark Past™️ and then have it be over in 5 minutes and reveal nothing interesting whatsoever about Hector!!! Like if the point was to have Johnny prove he could be a good father figure to Miguel after all and to cause conflict between Miguel and Sam, then there were like...ways to do that without yeeting Miguel to another country with no ultimate character development or narrative payoff :/

And they really expect me to believe Miguel and Robby sat in petty stony silence the whole several-hour drive home and didn't even try to talk through ANY of their issues??? Didn't have ANY road trip bonding whatsoever??? WHAT A FUCKING WASTE. LAME.

ANYWAYS. I know a lot of people were against the Mexico subplot from the jump (mainly because of the potential problematic directions the show could go with it I think), but I might have been in the minority in being excited for it and thinking it had a lot of potential to see a world outside the Valley. Potential which it...did not fill at all. Like at least show us what sketch-ass shit Hector actually DOES!!! My god!!! Also not Robby being like "I wanna make things right with Miguel!!!" and then...clearly not doing that. Like considering their apartment brawl later was the first time Robby has shown onscreen remorse for what he did to Miguel, Robby didn't even apologize in the car ride on the way back??? Or speak a single word to Miguel about the whole, like...Paralysis Incident??? For all Miguel knows, Robby was tagging along just for kicks ajhdsukhfuyh

The whole thing is a mess tbh. I blame rushed production for S5. Deadass thank god for the writer's strike??? Maybe with more time for the writers to actually do their jobs, S6 will give its plotlines some room to breathe.

SO YES, long story short, I wanna do this plot thread some justice and also have my OTP be gay as shit the whole time <3 And give Miguel the epically dangerous adventure of self-discovery he deserves while ultimately still showing him he is very loved and does not need his shitty biological dad!!! God bless!!!

Thank you again for sliding into my inbox about this fic, I am always looking for motivation to keep going with it :D

(For anyone who doesn't know, the first 6 chapters of the fic in question are posted on my AO3, SummerPhlox!)

kind-of-a-shitty-wizard · 3 months

I've been thinking about him for some time already (YOU KNOW WHO...) and I think. he's just Like That ™. the gentleman killer. Haskillcore boring old man stuff enjoyer that spends weekends reading newspapers and philosophy books. looks down on people that lack manners. DOES want to serve for the best of his abilities and be appreciated. But ALSO I get the vibes... that he's the way he is because he's a shitty wizard.

HEAR ME OUT... It was just a joke at first but his fiasco with messing the most basic spell and being thrown out of the train..... I feel like he, in fact, can be incompetent wizard and that can fuck him up SO BADLY... like inferiority complex... I can imagine him being young & dreaming of becoming a great wizard & failing painfully. So now he compensates it with self-taught magic and dark arts (his necromancy interest). “dark magic is just misunderstood, not evil"...

I also get vibes from him of being bullied? I would take away his lunch yk. And now he allows people to walk over him and it's not just a job thing he's just like that. Until the moment he snaps. And murder may be the way for him to feel being in-control, which he usually lacks. Feel like he hass power. He doesn't feel nor act like purple guy jeff the killer (he's too old for that) but. Sometimes he thinks “It would be nice to kill someone right now. I also need cash. Hmm.” and that's now it happens. Maybe he feels alive when he does that, but it's only in-moment feeling that doesn't stay. I feel like he's pretty sensitive and can say when he feels bad(offended) or good(proud), but doesn't really have emotional intelligence? The feelings are there, what to do with them? who knows. not him. he goes out on the streets at night. depreesion)

I think he knows a lot about magic and artifacts (found out about the relic by private investigation or smth) but he can't use that intformation himself! what a shame! I get the vibes that he can be almost . cursed . to be a bad wizard. he's probably not but it just feels that way. so many potential in such cringefail loser (/affectionate). and he knows that and mourns that! what does he do with his life!

I rotate him in my mind he's so interesting what is wrong with him . . .

NODS VIGOROUSLY ALONG WITH YOUR POINTS im sitting here taking notes for my fic fr!! i actually hit on a lot of the same conclusions you did which makes me so happy, but one of the main differences was i thought he might actually be a good wizard, BUT i think your reading that he's ACTUALLY just a shitty wizard is more interesting character-wise....

like you said "he knows a lot about magic and artifacts but he can't use that intformation himself" <- YESSS. i think the exact way that he's shitty is that he definitely has the theoretical knowledge, but he can't apply it for shit. <3 like at the end of rockport limited he clearly knew the flame spell he was going to use, he just... fucking misses by a country mile LMFAO, even the meat monsters seem a little cobbled-together, like he knows the the theory but there's little finesse in the execution.

"he's the way he is because he's a shitty wizard." <- OK BC THIS BASIS IS SO GOOD. hes got so much ambition but no talent, and that informs everything about him!! - it's my headcanon that he grew up lower-middle class, and i think combining that with being bullied and being bad at magic contributed to an inferiority complex. and he likes refined things precisely because he likes the image of himself as this powerful refined (rich) person when he's really just grasping at it desperately :)))

aaand i think the dark arts provide shortcuts to power for the price of sacrificing another living thing, SO FOR JENKINS, who was a shitty wizard and an asshole who's totally willing to sacrifice people for power, it suited him perfectly :)))))))

not to mention all the points u brought up abt why he kills are so good. i think it's firstly a practicality thing (he needs the money, like u said), but then secondarily an outlet for his anger (he's a bit emotionally unintelligent like u also said lol). i think he learned how to deal with this simmering hatred in the exact wrong way, where he bottles it up during the day when ppl push him around and then lets it out during his murders. instead of yknow... learning to not let ppl push him around, and manage his anger and deal with it less destructively SDFLSDFKJ. and it became a cycle. so now he's a serial murderer cos he's into this repress-release pattern, someone get this man into therapy or get him a boyfriend who can fix him !!

AND... okok final point bc its getting a bit long. "so many potential in such cringefail loser (/affectionate). and he knows that and mourns that! what does he do with his life!" <- YES. perhaps even. he is not cut out to be a wizard..... he clearly has ambition, and good taste, and a flair for the dramatic, and mental problems, which means. of course. he is perfectly suited for the theater--//SHOT

#(im allowed to say that last part cos i do community theater KJFDHSKJGDSF)#YOU UNDERSTAND HIM SO WELL. AA!! like the haskill analyses your brain is huge as always #'the gentleman killer'. there are hearts above my head like a cartoon #ur analysis actually makes me think that in order to be happy jenkins might need to let go of his dream of being a powerful wizard...#like i think his want for power is actually a need to feel secure and appreciated in disguise #that could be fixed by connecting with people. he could stop killing and work as an actor or author or usher and experience community art #but do i want him to give up killing? - absolutely NOT he should continue doing it forever and ever. so the solution here is to give #him someone who will stick by him and like him and is also fucked up enough to also abet his murders :))))#and this way his killing could morph from being a way to chase power to a bonding activity with his partner who makes him feel appreciated #get loved idiot!!!!#....hes got so many problems <33 #jenkinsposting #ask

Happy New Year!

Another year passes and I am still here. Ups and downs and all that kinda thing, I don't have an event in mind this year because the last two months have been a struggle in my personal life but I do wish you all a great evening/day of celebration or just vibing and chilling.

From Jan till now I would keep track of how many words I wrote and this year I have written a total of 403, 974!

My top written/requested chars have been:

Ace: 198

Marco: 136

Thatch: 53

Law: 51

Sabo: 35

Wow I wrote a lot of Ace and Marco... I intend to write even more!

I've had the great joy of taking part in many zines as staff and as a contributor. I have gotten to take part and run such lovely and fun events and be part of this awesome fandom. I've made some amazing friends and known some wonderfully talented people.

I even got to cosplay Marco and Ace and I never ever thought I'd have the confidence to cosplay Ace, he's been a dream cosplay of mine.

Not everything has staid the same, things and people change but that is life ya know?

Thank you for all the love and support and the likes and reblogs and the comments and messages and interactions. I love you all and sorry I have been a little.. away recently [You will see undercut]

I have many things I want to do going forward in the new year and I hope everyone has a great time and I hope 2023 is a better and softer year for us all. I'm a rabbit in the Chinese zodiac and 2023 is the year of the Rabbit so I am hoping things just got a little nicer and a little better for us.

First sample is The Memory Of Colour

Second sample is The Captains Dead

TW: medical stuff

My mental health had been bad for awhile, feeling I wasn't a good writer, a good person or a good friend. Just feeling like I didn't have the energy to keep up with all my friends and interactions because I was so tired all the time. I had issues with feeling like friendships were like balloons and I couldn't keep ahold of the strings as they all drifted away. I still feel like... I have been somewhat replaced or that I am a burden because of various things including my health.

Which leads me to my next comment. After convention I went to the doctors and I got diagnosed with a rare type of illness that had potential life threatening.. complications.

We still don't know if the treatment I am undergoing will help or not, it's something we have to wait on. But it's been a really hard few months for me and my partners.

Sometimes I am not able to walk due to the illness, sleeping is hard and I am always tired and I never know if I'm tired because of one of the many medications I am on or the illness or my mental health but it's been a struggle.

I am dealing with chemo therapy [It's not Cancer] once a week and it takes alot out of me. I have been in and out of hospital with the illness and I've been taking like 100 fucking blood tests.

I don't know if I am getting better or not right now. I have to drink so much water and eat so much meat as part of my treatment. I've been completely left high and dry with my mental health and it's just been.... a mess.

It's been a long and hard few months and I think I needed to tell you all what has been really going on with me.

But I love you all and I hope it'll all pass.

#happy new year

have I ever told you that second chances had multiple test concepts?

before I decided on empires, I considered Stardew Valley because the original idea for this was an ask game where you put the last character you drew in the last game you played and I thought he would vibe :D

Then, when I decided on empires, I considered making him a ghost in a cursed pendant that llama Owen picked up! The story would have been about him trying to get brought back so he could continue his massacres but being worn down by llama Owen’s stupid antics lol

NO YOU DIDN'T

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

THOSE IDEAS ARE SO SO SO FUN!!!!

I neeeeeeeeeeeed more outsiders x other servers fixing them fics. There was this one fic where they took outsiders and fused it with the maze runner and it was amazing. and like i ADORE ADORE ADORE LOVE ABSOLUTELY FAWN OVER YOUR FIC OF COURSE!!

Cause i love taking messed up characters and sending them on the most painfully complicated fix it arcs. Its literately the plot of both These walls scream your name and Played my game now you're in it. OH! and my new secret wtdw fic only Danger knows about that i wont share for a while. (im going to wait till i have a few chapters before hand ready to post so i don't get behind on it like all my other fics lol.)

ANYWAY

I've also been tossing around more combinations for this kind of au. taking outsiders and putting them in places they shouldn't be. and here are some of the ones i've nearly written but just don't have the time for.

O!Krow in Newlife. just, it's reaction to sparrow would be so funny and also the angst potential in death and hybridizing Krow even further. Also there is one opening to one of the NL episodes where Krow does a Japanese voice over intro that catches me off guard every time i hear it.

O!Bek in SOS smp. Look. Scott, Eloise, and Owen are there but my girl is missing and that makes me just a little bit sad that they can't reach their full chaos potential. its more so to fix them than her at this point. but i also think it would to see O!Bek specifically try to adjust to it all cause shes isn't a big......team player..... to say the least. Which is something that smp relay on big time.

O!Magic on Pirates. i think she deserves a gun. and to kill people. and also think she would be a great apprentice for P!Gracie and would be besties with cruppy. this is less of a lore heavy one and more i just want her safe and happy and also to kill whomever she so desires because she deserves it after everything.

On a similar note on sending people place for the sole sake of letting them kill people, i think sending O!Oeca to the traffic series would just. just think about it. they were made for each other. and you know what. Put O!Mowhee there with him. Just the two of them running around on red just. i don't know man. i think its very fun and that they would thrive.

O!Squidney and O!Spidey i firmly believe should have the pleasure of being in Rats. Just as a treat. just so they can be silly and forget the horrors.

Anyway those were plans i had for another super big grand fic where every outsider got put somewhere new and each chapter centered around them healing. but i quickly realized that's way too big of a project to take on right now and also i don't know enough about servers or enough about every outsider for that.

Hope you like the little exchange in ideas!!! I do really like yours and i have so many i couldn't help but spill some of my own!

(i also may have another little idea for a oneshot sort of inspired by your fic, if i get around to having the free time to write it and you allow inspiration)

hey so idk if you remember but that one aita blorbo post you reblogged with the professor guy and the crystal where you called him a coward in the tags was mine and I just wanted to say that when I saw your tags it made me so happy because I've been working on the worldbuilding and plot development for that for four years now (the eldritch horror stuff is a newer development after I realized I was wasting so much story potential by just making it a fancy rock) and your tags made me feel very proud of myself because it showed that somebody appreciated it and thought it was cool.

Sorry for dumping this on you. Also J is the protagonist and I will give him as happy of an ending as I can. In case you were worried for him. I don't know much about portal but that cave Johnson fella seems very interesting so maybe I should try to find a decent letsplay (no ability to play myself)

i do in fact remember that one!!! and i really really did think it was cool!!! the eldritch horror and Messing With Forces Beyond Your Comprehension For Power vibes are some of my favorite so!!! yeah!!

the vibes overall were just VERY cool, it really felt like the asker was kind of subconsciously aware that he's in over his head and just kind of defaulted to the Dean's opinion on everything. unreliable narration and shaky conviction are ALSO things that i love in my stories!! and wow that worldbuilding and plot is VERY cool. moral atrocities in the name of pursuit of power & reckoning with supernatural forces much greater than the lives of any individual are so so awesome. beloved tropes and themes ✨

also don't be sorry for "dumping" something like this!! it always makes me super happy when i get excited about something someone made and then it's actually really meaningful to them because it's like wow!!! i got to read an awesome thing AND my commentary on it was encouraging to the original author??? like that's just awesome twice !!!

genuinely i am very invested in this story, it seems VERY cool and i would be absolutely interested to see how everything ends up!! the professor/asker seemed kind of deeply pathetic to me in a hubristic puppet sort of way so i am especially curious about whether he would end up breaking free of all that and deciding to do what's right, or meeting some kind of unfortunate end at the hands of the path he's passively chosen to follow!!

as for cave johnson, i did find this clip of all his voicelines in what i'm pretty sure is chronological order; the minute and a half between timestamps 8:51 to 10:22 should be pretty representative! includes his famous "lemon rant" too (though cw for aggressive yelling). basically the hubris is off the charts and after killing countless test subjects in dangerous experiments he ended up bankrupting his company, poisoning himself with moon rock dust, and becoming fatally ill as a result.

(entirely understandable not to play it yourself, it also took me ages to get through; it it is not a particularly easy game even if you have access to it!)

#asks !#spark speaks #blorbo aita #(related to one anyway!!)#genuinely i love getting asks like this so much #it's one of my favorite things about this website. that i can just go about my day reading/seeing/hearing cool stuff that people made #and sometimes they'll reach out to be like ''hey that made me really happy by the way'' about something i said about it #like wow. top tier experience

Combing through every single episode of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous for Yasammy moments to write meta analysis about part 9 (master post with all previous and future parts)

I love all of the little touches they put into this show like the fact that Yaz looks upset when Darius mentions Sammy running into a BRAD in the sewers, the concern she has for Sammy's safety and well-being is so prevalent that it shows up in her micro-expressions and body language

Given Sammy's propensity for finding trouble (and that they just recently got separated in the sewers), it makes sense that Yaz would be worried about and go looking for Sammy when she disappears in the service tunnels between biomes, Yaz knows there are lots of potential dangers on the island she wants to have Sammy's back no matter what comes so she rushes to find her, lucky for her it was just Sammy goofing, the relief and love that fills her expression the second she realizes that Sammy is fine are so sweet, as is the little bit of banter they have in that scene

When the door closes between them Yaz's first thought is that the others are testing the door and she is playfully annoyed at them because that's a situation that can easily be solved, Yaz is a problem solver by nature, when she is invested in someone or something she will usually try to problem solve so calling out the others is the natural first step for her, it is only when Darius says they didn't mess with the doors that Yaz goes for the less logical option of trying to pry the door open because now there is a very real chance that Sammy is actually trapped on the other side and they'll be separated again, Yaz has come a long way with her fear of abandonment and loss but in these life-or-death situations she is still terrified of losing Sammy (which, honestly, isn't an unhealthy reaction anymore, anyone would be terrified of someone they care about dying in a real life-or-death situation) so she musters all her strength to pull the door open because she almost lost Sammy before and she has made it her personal mission to keep Sammy alive

Also, can we talk about the way Sammy falls right into Yaz's arms after the door opens and clings to her as she says, "Thanks"? Adorable!

I love how hopeful Yaz looks when Sammy starts talking to her in the sewer, her face just screams, "Is this is? Is she going to say she has feelings for me?" and I love how she just rolls with the humor of the situation when it turns out Sammy wants to talk about the smell, she's probably a little disappointed that it wasn't the conversation she thought it would be (because I think that at this point she is hopeful Sammy will feel the same way) but she is still enjoying Sammy's company and their conversations (even if those conversations about about gross smells)

I love the way Sammy catches Yaz after the nothosaurus jump-scared her, Sammy wants to be there for Yaz just as much as Yaz wants to be there for Sammy, Sammy also puts her arm around Yaz first when they are getting ready to take the nothosaurus up in the lift and Yaz gives her this loving look that morphs into a conflicted/thoughtful look (which Ben picks up on) because part of her is definitely saying, "Tell her already!" and the other part is saying, "Is it the right time?" but, like she tells Sammy, there are no perfect times, we see this inner struggle continue to play out as they ride the lift in silence but one look at Sammy's face gives Yaz the push she needs to finally tell her

Side note: Ben's reaction when he realizes Yaz is about to confess to Sammy is so wholesome and sweet, A+ sibling vibes

I've said before that Yaz has historically had a hard time with opening up about herself and her feelings, she starts out the series with a fear of vulnerability so it is incredible to see her opening up to Sammy about something that is clearly very nerve-wracking to her, I think on some level she trusts Sammy not to judge her (which shows a lot of character growth and points to how much she's been working on her trust issues) but telling someone you have feelings for them is still really scary and we can tell that Yaz is scared by the fact that she is rambling and stammering and has nervous body language, part of her is still scared of rejection so when she looks up to see Sammy with a shocked/fearful expression Yaz's heart drops because she is now overtaken by the voice of doubt: What if Sammy hates her now? What if Sammy thinks her feelings are gross or wrong? What if Sammy doesn't want to be around her anymore because things are weird now?

Fortunately, Sammy swoops in and knocks that train of thought right off its tracks (and Yaz right off her feet) as she saves Yaz from being eaten by the nothosaurus, Sammy supports Yaz and helps her stand back up and when it becomes clear that the nothosaurus is going after Sammy again Yaz leaps into action without a second thought, grabbing the damn thing by the tail so it can't reach Sammy, Yaz will always prioritize Sammy's safety over any hurt feelings (or often her own safety) but in this scene I think Yaz really gets confronted with the fact that Sammy feels exactly the same way about Yaz's safety because she jumps onto the nothosaurus' back without skipping a beat

I love how Sammy bring the conversation back once they're safe, she's well aware of what Yaz was trying to tell her but they were interrupted before and I headcanon that she wants to give Yaz a do-over

I talked before about how Sammy knows that Yaz has a hard time with feelings and might need some extra time to sort things out so I always headcanoned that Sammy would wait for Yaz to confess to her first and Sammy confirms that's exactly what she was doing, which is a very smart move honestly because if Sammy had made a move too early then Yaz would have reacted badly because, like Yaz told Ben when they were talking about Firecracker, Yaz needs to do things at her own pace to feel comfortable and I think it's really sweet that Sammy realized and respected that without Yaz having to say a word about it

That first kiss has been living rent-free in my head and I will probably never shut up about it, a literal gay squeal of glee from the very depths of my soul escaped me and murdered my roommate's ears when that happened, I also can't stop thinking about all of the camp fam reactions to Yas and Sammy getting together

A Long-Overdue Writing Update

I know things have been quiet on the writing front lately. I crashed and burned in December (/had been crashing and burning in slow motion for several months beforehand), and I've decided to stop trying to scrape myself back together with the reasoning that my writing brain probably needs some time to simply be a splattered unproductive mess. I haven't even had the spoons to put my newsletter together.

Ultimately, all plans and tentative schedules here could be purely academic (hah), because I'm starting a Certificate of Higher Education on January 27th and that's probably going to gobble up most of the time I set aside for writing. Also, top surgery is now rather closer than on the horizon, and don't yet know what to expect in terms of recovery time. Regardless, here's how things are looking writing-wise as of today, 11th January 2024:

The Kindness of Ravens (Wyrdseren, book 2)

The Kindness of Ravens draft 3 is so so nearly finished. It's also probably what took me out in the first place, so it's currently sitting there, shelved mid-scene. The final climax is done, which leaves me with the aftercare resolution to write, and then I can say this draft is finished.

There is really very little left to do to the story itself. I've got all the events ordered as I want them, and I'm finally back to feeling enthusiastic about it. (Which is particularly nice considering that at one point I was seriously considering pulling the plug on the entire thing!). Yes, I did take on more of a challenge than necessary, but I do think it has paid off and I'm genuinely so excited to (eventually) bring the finished story to everyone. Still don't want to give anything concrete by way of a release date/schedule, though.

The Blood Enigma

TBE got beta-read back in June/July. It's in fairly solid shape, and I've got a firm plan of action in place for it. Granted, said plan is on hold right now and I didn't manage to get the book released in 2023 as I'd intended because Ravens takes priority, but I'm not beating myself up over that (<- said through gritted teeth). Once I finish the current draft of Ravens and give the beta reader feedback another look-over, I'll be able to come up with the time-frame for the rest of the work I need to do on it.

Falling Stars (series)

In more exciting news, once TBE is published, I'm going to start drafting the first book in my (*deep breath*) high fantasy zombie apocalypse environmental horror slow-burn polyamorous romance series (more streamlined pitch pending). I felt like I had more to learn about handling fantasy and series in general before I could tackle this one, and I think the story has really benefited from having time to gradually congeal while I worked on other things. I'm unbelievably hyped to start working on it properly.

Misc. Updates

I'm slowly chewing over two more potential WIPs: first, I've made a tentative plan for adapting my short story The Seal Daughter into a novella or novel set in the same world as The Blood Enigma, because there's definitely more I want to explore regarding transgender selkies and the idea of "seal children" as opposed to seal wives/seal husbands.

Secondly, I've recently been highly enamoured with trying my hand at a historical fantasy, (or at least pulling history into a fantasy setting), specifically one inspired by the Viking age and viking culture. Do I have a plot? Possibly. Or at least, I have a first chapter planned out and I know what the consequences of the events in said first chapter will be. Mostly though, I have vibes and sea monsters, which I think is a great pairing to bring with me into the new year.

#just squeezing this out has made writing brain grumpy. time to feed it some treats 😴#the blood enigma #the kindness of ravens #writeblr

Okay, I need to reread it when I'm not half-asleep or in a hurry, but... some thoughts about Soul Taken:

This was a slightly odd book.

Mostly because, well, I completely understand that recovery is rarely linear, and even old trauma messes with your mind in unexpected ways sometimes, but I feel like Mercy was kind of unusually out of sorts and paranoid in this book. And I'm really not sure if we were supposed to see it that way or not. I mean, some of it was clearly the spider fae spike thingies messing with her, but I'm not sure if that was supposed to explain everything.

For example, I sadly enough kinda predicted that the whole 'one step forward, two steps back' dance with her attitude towards Stefan would be back sooner or later, but this felt like an almost exact repeat of what happened in Frost Burned: she suddenly does not seem to trust him for no obvious reason whatsoever, despite having recently made clear progress with him and ending the previous book on 100% amicable terms. And sure, I could headcanon that almost bipolar attitude in a number of ways, but it honestly comes across as author indecisiveness at best and bad continuity at worst at this point.

Like I said, I know recovery is rarely linear and trauma can mess with you in unexpected ways, but the part where she suddenly has Stefan nightmares she likens to Tim nightmares felt especially uncalled for (especially since I seem to recall she chose the bond with Stefan in the immediate aftermath of the Tim thing and it was something that actually made her feel better because it was something she chose, unlike certain other bonds I might mention) as did the pretty much entirely new implications that Stefan has ever used the bond against her or made her do anything against her will. I was, as a Stefan fan, honestly kinda mad about those.

And the fact that I'm not sure whether the reader is supposed to take that at face value or chalk it up to Mercy being paranoid and generally an unreliable narrator for a number of reasons, which has been established in text before particularly through other POVs.

Speaking of which, on the other hand... We got several things I didn't think we ever would, based on previous statements by the author:

We got Wulfe POV??

We got Stefan POV???

Vampires have souls now?!?

And personally, at least, those were very welcome additions. Wulfe and Stefan's narrator 'voices' both felt right and added more to their characters, as did the 'flashbacks' in the Mercy-dreaming-Stefan's-memories bits. Both we and Mercy got a better picture of the Italian vampire posse and their backstories and dynamics. But while I liked it that this book ended kinda as the echo of the ending of the previous book, with Mercy apparently being on good terms with both Stefan and Wulfe, it all feels kinda contradictory, you know? Something doesn't flow right about the plot/the vibe/the characterizations/all of it.

And once again, I'm not sure if I should blame Mercy or the author.

I've come to at least headcanon that part of Mercy being an unreliable narrator is that she's sometimes downright wilfully in denial about things she does not want to think about or confront. Like it's entirely plausible to me that there are aspects about her bond with Stefan that scare her much more than the idea that he could use it against her, which is why we apparently have to establish certain things like it being a) a two-way thing b) consensual c) unbreakable precisely because it's consensual over again, and why she sometimes randomly freaks out and starts treating Stefan as a potential threat.

Or maybe the author just really does not know how she wants to handle this. She's had several opportunities to toss the plot, and once or twice she even seemingly has only to bring it back, but like I said in the previous post, in the last book one of those opportunities was presented and she could have chosen to get rid of either Stefan or the bond and yet she chose to keep him and have Mercy reinforce the bond to save him (and tell him he's invited in her 'soulscape', and seriously consider calling him to her side against Adam's beast). But in this book, we're apparently pretending that development did not happen. Or Mercy is, at least. *sigh*

The overall situation was stressful for her in this book, admittedly. There was the whole situation with Sherwood, aka Bran's Big Bro Has Entered The Chat, and even Zee's behavior was causing her grief and adding to her paranoia. I do feel for our girl, for apparently having come to a realization that everyone she cares about is dangerous and a potential threat, her husband included.

But yeah. It was a little weird, and I hope things will make more sense in the next book.

Chapter 133 notes

Right off the top, I'm going to gripe. I've waited months for this chapter and wanted more....alas we got a short chapter. I did find some interesting ideas popping up in the content.

Satan doesn't want to destroy the world.

Satan is the entity that all the other demon kings splintered from. We are starting to see his different personalities popping out. From what I reckon, he wants to stay in Assiah and cause trouble, not destroy it like Lucifer wants. Which aligns with Mephisto's ideals, no?

Also, he agrees with Rin. He hates the stripper outfit that Lucifer put him in. He looks ridiculous. (I've got a headcanon, that Mephisto designed the outfit and gave it to Shima to pass on to Lucifer. Knowing full well that it would piss Satan off.)

Does that mean that Satan can be reasoned with? What if he changed sides halfway through the battle and started attacking Lucifer?

I just don't get Big Bad vibes from Satan. I just don't.

Is he an asshole? Of course. Plus, he's rude and immature and has obvious impulse control issues. But...I'm just not convinced..

2) Thus far, Satan seems very interested in Rin.

Is it because Rin is a potential vessel for him, or is it because he's curious about his son? Is this how a demon king bonds with family? It's very dysfunctional, but maybe. (We've seen demon kings act like this before...I'm looking at you Amaimon.)

Just an aside, I wonder about the dynamic Satan has with Rin and Yukio. He doesn't consider Yukio his son at all.

Going back to previous theories, maybe Yukio isn't Satan's son.

if we believe that Yukio and Rin's bio-dad was Shiro. And that Rin was possessed by Satan in utero. That would make Rin Satan's son and Yukio the son of Shiro, only.

That would be something, right?

Shiro was the only person that could beat Satan, plus when Satan possessed Shiro, he had no control over his mind. Interesting...

I lifted this right from the Blue Exorcist Wiki...

"Under normal circumstances, the Demon is in control of the host body, however, the reverse can be put into practice as well. A human can force a Demon to possess them, allowing them to gain the Demon's powers while also remaining in control of their own body. A human who does this is known as a Demon Eater. The rule that the host body must be strong enough to handle the Demon's power still applies."

We know Yukio is immune to Rin's flames and Satan's flames. He takes after his mother. If Yukio's mind is strong enough to resist Satan like Shiro. Yukio could either be the saviour of Assiah or the new BIG BAD. The fact that Yukio is so power-hungry, has me wondering. Plus, he's so intelligent....he'd be a way worse Satan than Satan ever could hope to be.

This isn't the final battle, maybe that battle involves Rin vs Yukio?

--------------------------------------------------

3) Why is Satan causing so much shit?

He's bored.

What does this sound like? Amaimon. Right now Satan is playing with Rin, just like Amaimon. Testing to see how powerful he is. We can see the benefits of Mephisto's unorthodox training here, sparring with Amaimon gives Rin an edge. He has an understanding of his opponent.

4) Arc Knights are as strong as some demon kings.

Helluva detail to drop this late in the game. But okay.

The arc knights are stronger than the lower-level demon kings. Lucy is stronger than Beez.

This makes sense.

We know that Shura was only an inspector at the beginning of the manga but Amaimon didn't want to mess with her. The possibility of not winning was a reality.

Here we have Lucy conjuring a massive dragon. Heilong, which is kin of Armumahel.

Why are the arc knights powerful? Because they have demon support of some kind. A super-strong temptaint and the skills to use it.

Arc Knights

Lightning has Azazel

Shiro had Mephisto

Abel had Mephisto (until he died and Mephisto made Shiro Paladin)

Lucy Yang has Armumahel

Angel has Lucifer

Osceola seems to use fire in his arms so Iblis?

Drac Dragulescu? This one I'm not sure about this one. His superpower is what? Science? But he also makes zombies. Is his patron demon Mephisto? Who is kin with death and time?

What do you guys think?

#blue exorcist #chapter 133 #super damn short #it is what it is #rin okumura #Satan

is there any kind of job you won't take?

" Y'know, most people don't ask stuff like that unless they want something reeeally weird."

That was generally how it worked, in his experience. Either a potential client was going to ask for something bizarre, or they were too nosy for their own good, perhaps as a poor attempt at small talk to get a chummy vibe going with him. Jordi has had a few of both in his time, the latter of which never worked, but he had to admit the attempts were adorable. "I'm good with weird and all. Cash is cash, I usually don't care how I have to get it, but believe it or not, I do have standards - I know, it shocked the hell outta me, too, but there it is. So, yeah, there's a few jobs I won't take - but, I also won't let anyone else take them, either."

What that means will come in time.

"Kids. I don't deal with shit involving kids. And I don't mean like, holding a kid for ransom, scaring the hell out of them…that kind of thing is alright. Not my favorite, but it pays, so I can't complain. No, no, no, when I say 'involving kids', I mean putting them on the business end of my .45. And before anyone starts spewing bullshit like who would do that - " For that, his voice climbs a derisive octave or two, only to drop back to normal in barely a breath. " - people do. Not a lot of people, but people. I've had one."

It's one he doesn't think of often anymore, now that so many years had passed. Thus far, it had been one of a mere handful that he'd refused, and one of two he'd turned down because – well, he'd rather not get into the reasons why he'd shot them down. Introspection sucks, he'd not here for that mess. Oh, no, instead he's thinking an explanation is in order here. A man like himself doesn't say no to paying work without good reason, after all. So, guess what? It's story time.

"I don't think I was in Chicago a year when this guy contacts me. Says he wants to get back at his ex-wife. They split the year before, she got their kid, she was seeing another guy and I dunno, some other bullshit, I stopped listening by that point. I just remember thinking This is why I don't do the relationship crap. It gets messy way too quick and then you end up with freak shows like that nutsack who can't leave shit alone. Just thinking about it gives me a headache…" Trailing off, he comes to a pause. A breath, and then a tense, albeit distant, "Where the hell was I…?"

Chicago, relationships…divorced creep. Ex wife, job refused because -

"- oh, yeah. So, anyway, we meet, he tells me he wants to 'teach her not to fuck with him', but he doesn't want her dead, because everyone points fingers at the ex when stuff like that happens. He just wanted her fucked up. Not physically, 'cuz that would heal too quick and, again, everyone always thinks it's the ex. He wanted to fuck with her head, permanently, and how'd he wanna do it? By hiring me. Not to mess with her or scare her or whatever- that'd be fine, I'd done it a thousand times before. Nah, this asshole wanted me to take out the five-year-old she had custody of. Yknow, really hit her where it hurts."

In theory, Jordi's previously mentioned tactics - ransom, threats, etc. - usually worked just fine, and probably would have in that instance, too. Most parents would lose their minds over that kind of stuff, but a client wants what a client wants. His part in the deal was to listen and do what he's paid to, no questions asked or input placed.

"I said I'd take it. Told him to pay me upfront and then, when the job was done, I'd clean the mess and he'd never have to see me again, and y'know what? He did. Transferred it over, didn't even question it, and after he did, I was about to head out to get the job done, but before I could, the craziest shit happened. I stood up, went to leave, and the next thing I know, there's a bullet right in the middle of his forehead - fuckin' dead center. The second one wasn't too far off, either; think it was like…in his eye or something, I dunno, hard to remember now, but I do remember, with all of his blood flying around, some of it ended up on my jacket. My brand new Patagonia, can you believe it?! "

The audacity of some people. Even as a corpse, the guy was a dick, which could have almost been respectable if Jordi wasn't on the receiving end of things.

He really liked that coat, too...

"So, I popped the fucker a third time, went home to change, and took myself out to a nice dinner on the lakefront. I got my money, and no one was around to claim I didn't get the job done - which actually reminds me, you breathe a word of this to anyone, just know, I got three bullets on me just for you, got it? Cool, cool. But, uh..yeah, that was that."

That one felt good. If pressed, Jordi couldn't put a finger on exactly what made that particular request much different than the countless others he'd handled; maybe it was just because it was a kid involved, maybe he'd started going soft a little sooner than he'd noticed. Whatever the case, it was a hard limit on his end. What should have been a meeting like any other had left a hollow pit in his stomach the whole time the guy talked, after he'd revealed intentions and explained exactly what he wanted Jordi to do. Such a pathetic waste of space, that one, drawing a target on someone who couldn't fight back...

As far as he's concerned, he fulfilled a contract, albeit an unspoken one, for saving some random woman he'd never meet the hassle of her ex-husband's existence, and spared a kid the trouble of being caught in the middle of that whole disaster. Look at him - making the world a better place, one well-placed bullet at a time.

"Moral of the story is, a job like that? Nope, won't take it, and anyone who comes to me with shit like that it's gonna end up like ol' what's-his-face…I can't remember it now, it's been a while. So far, that one's been the only time I've been asked to off a kid, but if I know anything about people, it's that someone, somewhere out there, is just fucked up enough to want it, too."

#child harm mention cw #( &. a bullet with your name on it but a trigger for a heart/ hc )#[ thank you for this!!! ]#[ sorry it took so long ldksjfa i have been dead on my feet for the last week ]

Assigning TWST Boys STRAY KIDS Members

Content: Various TWST Characters (Azul, Jamil, Deuce, Epel, Rook, Ace, Leona, Jade, & Silver), mentions of struggles like self-worth, detailed and lengthy writing

A/N: I've been a fan of Stray Kids for the past year and a half, and I had these headcanons for a while now. I mostly matched them based on the vibes I got, sooo heheh ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

🐙 AZUL as BANGCHAN

Bangchan's hardworking nature reminds me of how Azul got to where he is now

The octoboi created his own business. IN. SCHOOL. LIKE, PROPS TO THE GUY

Azul being the "dad" of the group just makes me giggle like an idiot

*recalls all those videos of Chan taking care of his 7 kids*

I can see Azul freaking out if one of the guys gets lost AHAHAHHAHAH

*proceeds to look for three freshmen, a sleeping lion, and a prince for hours on end*

Jamil is just laughing in the back

Azul can't even get mad at him right now, he's missing 5 members!!

this leader needs a well-deserved break😭

I also see Azul having cute ass dimples when he smiles--- MAH HEART

TWST!Stray Kids's residential Octopus

🐍 JAMIL as LEE KNOW

*deep inhale* it's the visuals. THE SHEER BEAUTY these two hold

Lee Know's story makes me see the potential of Jamil especially after the events of Book 4 and so on

I'm happy he's not holding himself back, not letting his hard work be overshadowed by anyone

He knows what he wants, and he's determined to work hard to get it

HE WOULD HAVE THE MOST INTIMIDATING STARE BRUHH

If Azul is the "dad" of the group, Jamil is for sure the scary mom you don't wanna mess with

Though, I can already see when Azul takes a much-needed time off, Jamil is gonna have fun with the others💀 ...in his own unique way

Azul: "YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO LEAD THEM WHILE I WAS GONE!"

Jamil: "I DID! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?"

Azul: *shows a clip of them being chaotic during practice*

Jamil: "........"

Jamil yelling out "ICE CREAMMMM" (or curry) lives rent-free in my head

If Jamil had the luxury, he'd have three parrots (to terrorize Azul and the other members, but mostly Azul)

I can see him secretly and extremely being offended when no one in the group recalls his three parrots😭

Jade: "You have three parrots? I thought you only had one."

Jamil: 🗿🗿🗿🗿 ("This bich foh real?")

♠️🍎 DEUCE and/or EPEL as CHANGBIN

I SEE RAPPING POTENTIAL IN THESE TWO

Changbin's aesthetic also fits these two the best imo

Changbin's "jutdae" and overall personality makes me really think of Deuce's and Epel's own principles in the story

These two can seem intimidating and unapproachable, but they're really just cinnamon rolls (more so Deuce than Epel cause farmer boi be feral)

I see these two always being hungry😭😭 so you often see them snacking during practice or smthn

I SEE THEM HAVING THE S*MS*NG PHONES IN THE GROUP

Ace and/or Leona: "Hey, ByBix. System restart."

Deuce: *proceeds to attack Ace*

Epel: *country smack talk as he tries to cancel the command*

Thankfully, their phones needed fingerprint recognition to complete the command, but they ain't trusting their belongings with those two for a long while... or ever

🏹 ROOK as HYUNJIN

Both their gazes are so captivating

their visuals are also 👏GORGEOUS👏

They're both artistic people as well

I'd like to think they'd be good friends and would often have art sessions with one another

When he feels all the support and love of the people, Rook would bawl and would want to do his utmost to see and hear the audiences' smiles and cheers

Hyunjin with blonde hair HITS DIFFERENT

Rook having the half up-half down hairstyle will bring me to MY KNEES

ROOK ALSO HAS THE DEEP VOICE POTENTIAL 👀

*recalls the Maniac music video*

Hyunjin's captivating voice also fits Rook to a T

I see the both of them being the most empathetic in the group, comforting everyone when they have problems and helping in their own way

I dunno how he'll comfort Leona, but he'll do his best😭😭

♥️ ACE as HAN JISUNG (my bias 🕳️🚴‍♀️)

I dunno what it is, but the second I laid eyes on Han, I was reminded of this redhead🤡

Their energies just match? So well??? Like, have you seen the chaos this Quokka does with the other members😭

Then BAM! I get reminded of Ace in those moments

They're both so silly, my heart can't take it--

Pre-debut Han.

In all seriousness, though, and if given the chance to prove himself, I see Ace having a similar mindset to Han, being hard working and putting his soul into his work

Turns out they both like the color red????🗿

Seeing Ace with chubby cheeks makes me wanna-- *fist-fights air*

British Han being Ace's English dub voice🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️

Ace singing when he gets hurt😭😭😭

*stubs his toe*

Ace: "Should have gave you all my hours~~! When I had the chance...~"

🦁 LEONA as FELIX

You and I both know, Leona is Felix cause of the DEEP ASS VOICE

Though, the thought of Leona going high-pitched and spelling "dispatch" will have me rolling on the floor LMAOOO

Leona 🤝 Felix ---> swearing

Felix's journey to get to where he is now kind of reminds me of Leona's journey

Both went through their own struggles, and Leona is still growing from his (...I think🗿)

I just wanna see the day where Leona can prove his worth to everyone, and that he can put his strengths to good use

Then again, Leona is a stubborn beastman🗿... Still rooting for him, though!

This man will use the image he's built within the group to mess with them so badly

Oh, you thought he had no role in *insert game name* cuz he seemed disinterested and wasn't doing anything sus?? Jokes on you, he was the motherf-ing mafia, fool👁️👄👁️

Though, OOC, Leona being the T*kT*ker of the group... will be something

🍄 JADE as SEUNGMIN

I see Jade being the "underdog" of the group

But don't get me wrong. He's a strong force to be reckoned with when he's given the center stage

He will be the residential jokester of the group

"Azul is ???"

Jade: "Azul is old."

"Rook loves...?"

Jade: "Rook loves Leona~."

*cue more chaos unfolding*

You can't predict this man's moves👁️👄👁️

You think you've got him where you want him to be, but then he switches up his tactics-- *flips the table*

♠️⚔️ DEUCE and/or SILVER as I.N. (yes, Deuce gets two)

I can see everyone in the group spoiling these two and treating them as the "babies" of the group😭

Sure, they'll be confused, but they wouldn't have the heart to refuse their kindness and help

Baby bois will work themselves to the bone to ensure they're satisfied with their work😭🥺

If they think they messed up in one part, they'll start overthinking about it and possible get tunnel vision😭

Reassure these babies please🥺 They did a splendid job in their performance

Granny!Silver will just embody Lilia while Deuce often breaks character from his granny persona

My gut tells me that Silver can do the dolphin scream👀

I see Silver liking kids a lot, wanting to protect them from the harsh realities of the world (his Peepaw raised him well asfdggghlkg)

I feel like Rook pulled these two aside one day, and said that they should smile more, to bring out more of their charms

From then on, Deuce and Silver started smiling more (i'm ded--💀 they're too bright--)

I really wish the three shows OC get new showrunners/ writers. They are successful but need some creativity and some new leads to keep going on strongly. OC survived popular & original characters exiting, so there's not a huge risk, but now they are just messes. fire,Taylor sudden leave just exposed how fire have been mostly revolving around Stella and Kelly and pd centric episodes without continuously and always about tormenting the character not once about their skills or how good as cops.

They've been recycling stories killing the parent & adoption or just exploring one thing about the characters,keeping the character one dimension like Will Med every season he goes against orders with good intentions, Sharron fighting for the hospital always winning, Voight PD every he covering up a murder to protect someone or the unit, platt has the same lines for the last 3 seasons, Upton centric episodes are all the same she got tormented, injured, keep going one then save herself.

I mean they all somewhat have. Those issues are less about creative direction and more to do with the formula. Granted, the writing for all could be done so much better, and that is very much an issue so I agree there but they have had new people.

For me it's not even necessarily going against their usual story cycles, they could follow the same beats over and over, as long as there's character development within that, and still be entertaining to watch if the creative mind behind it was right.

I am wondering about the longevity of these shows now. I think med will begin limping on it's last leg. Fire, if Sylvie, Mouch and Kelly all leave, could probably still go on but it'll be a new era of the show (like season 1-12 of svu compared to 13+). PD is a police procedural so that'll take a while to be limping on it's last leg and potentially has the greatest chance to go on longer than the others, especially if fire fumbles losing all three but it'll probably become more like every other cop show.

I mean they all honestly need somewhat soft reboots, especially pd and med. Fire is the outlier because it depends on the actor's future with the show. And that doesn't necessarily mean they need new blood, just to refocus a bit. Which I've been begging them to do for ages now but they never will, especially with all the budget cuts.

Whatever the longevity of the shows though I am seriously considering my future watching. PD I'll be sticking with because even though I still have critisms, I have had a renewed love for it with Sigan at the helm and I'm hoping that the writing is just going to keep getting better and better instead of stagnating at the already done improvements.

Med I'm not interested in watching again now all the characters I adored are gone. Will was the reason for my remained tertiary interest in it but now he's gone there is no reason for me to even have that vague interest.

Fire it greatly depends on the actors. If all three leave, I can't imagine myself watching again, at least not for a few seasons. It might get to a point like with SVU or even Grey's anatomy where I'm bored and need something to watch/miss my comfort show (svu) and tune back in, but that does depend if they manage to bring a new vibe to the show in the absence of their old regulars. Honestly, even if just Kelly and Sylvie exit I might not watch again. If it's just Kelly I'll probably watch like I did this season, just a few episodes here and there that look promising Sylvie/Violet wise if anything.

I have so many ways these shows could improve themselves, especially PD and it is frustrating that it's so obvious and so needed but that the showrunners/writers/producers/network is stifling so much of the show's potential. And as much as I have hope for the future seasons of PD because of season ten has shown an uptake in quality, I know in my heart that it will never fix itself in the way it can and should.

Thank you for asking! I'm not sure if I answered this in the way you was meaning but I hope you got something out of it! 💖

A, B, C, D, E for Callisto !

Aaaa thank you so much for these ones!! Gah, real interesting questions and I miight have gone a bit over board lol

A) Why are you excited about this character? To me one of the most exciting parts about Callisto is that she's in a narrative rpg. TTRPGS are the storytelling medium I find a lot of comfort in and is the one I'm most used to as well!! The fact that Callisto is in a collaborative storytelling game (Beam Saber) means that I'm always excited to see how she'll change and grow and affect the world with the players. This changing thing is another part that really interest me!! The story of Callisto starts off where she very much is at her worst, she couldn't run from the war, got conscripted in an assault she should have died in, bonded with a machine she is terrified of, then was imprisoned and used as a knife of the Ascencians (the empire she lived under) for 6 months because she was bonded to the mech, and that late pilot's image must be upheld (Something something fascisim and how it tries to uphold crumbling symbols of its empire). She starts the game having escaped out of prison with the other player characters. She sees herself as nothing more than a tool forcefully made for violence, filled with fear and lies she desperately tries to cover up. She starts the game as a very flawed character and that growth and change as the campaign progresses is something I find very very interesting, Callisto slowly healing and growing is something I'm real excited for| (Also I'm extremely excited about how Callisto is an inverse/counter to a lot of ace mech pilot tropes (the playbook I'm playing her with IS the ace pilot trope which I find really fun) but that might be for another post. I also have thoughts about Callisto being like... a Char Aznable to a bright eyed Amuro Ray but this post is already getting long enough, all I'll say is Callisto's contrast potential mech rival dynamics extremely excite me)

B) What inspired you to create them? Ooooooh two main things actually!! I was playing Titanfall right after I had heard a friend of mine was gonna run a Beam Saber game (I wanted to consume a lot of mech media to get the vibes and tropes of the genre down in a sense, as I hadn't engaged barely at all with that stuff before but had always been interested) and there's this one section in the intro where the player character, Cooper, a footsoldier, finds himself in the midst of an assault gone terribly wrong, coming across his mech, BT by pure happenstance. That idea of someone who should very well be dead and doesn't really see themselves as a pilot was something that carried on into Callisto! Additionally another big touchstone about her was Kobeni Higashiyama from Chainsaw Man! Her stress is something very viscerally shown which I find really compelling. Also she's someone wracked with anxiety and self doubt but also extremely competent at violence when cornered. That kinda vibe and contrast I found really interesting and while I was playing titanfall and thinking about the kind of pilot I wanted to play I kept on going like "What if Kobeni but in a mech....". It started as a joke but then I found that idea really interesting and compelling, someone who pilots a mech with extreme competence, yet inside the cockpit is a nervous mess, wracked with anxiety, self doubt, and most of all, fear (of what she is/what she's doing most especially). Soon that eventually made Callisto!!

C) Did you have trouble figuring out where they fit in their own story? Yeah!! One big big thing with this in particular was finding her motivation/morality. I found playing someone purely cynical wouldn't be all to interesting so hammering out what she believed in/used to believe in, and most importantly, her motivation was something I've thought a lot about. I wanted her to be someone who's personality would work well with the other players As of now, she's someone just trying to survive and sees herself as a weapon of whatever hands she's fallen into, however deep down inside there's big potential for change

D) Have they always had the same physical appearance, or have you had to edit how they look? I knew "wet dog of a girl" was her appearance but at first I didn't know what all to do with it completely. I didn't want her design to be too flashy or anything and wanted to keep things simple to have the contrast of her situation be interesting. The developing was slow but steady and done mostly through sketches! As you can see one of the big things that changed was the scar (One of the bigger changes was also an introduction of this red motif sparked because of events in the game but I might get into those some other time)

E) Are they someone you would get along with? Would they get along with you? Callisto isn't much to talk to people so I think I'd see her as really quiet and reserved but I'd probably vibe with that if the situation isn't too dire. Probably pre horrors of war Callisto would be lovely to hang with. Callisto on the other hand? Hrmmm would probably think that I'm up to something or might see me as a means to an end. I'd say it depends on the situation!! once again thank you for this ask it was really fun getting through all of it!!!
