#but unfortunately with the way hes grown up and all it doesnt go as planned | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

how would you improve each datable NPC in Stardew Valley?

i was bewildered for a moment before i remembered i was talking shit about them on this blog previously haha! let me see. i think most of them i have issues with just act 10 years younger than they are- so there are a few ways this can be changed?

also keep in mind i adore stardew and really do like these characters even just as they are, im just a hater lol

judging hard-

Alex

i honestly think this guy could be GREATLY improved if he were actively taking care of his grandparents. maybe we see him out walking with them, on the roof doing repairs before a rainy day, running errands for them or cooking for them, etc. boy spends half his time staring at his dog in a household of two elderly disabled folks who could use him. even a teenager could take notice and offer to help.

Abigail

shes one of the most childish unfortunately lmao. i think one of the most glaring is she goes extremely hard in an easter egg hunt against two preschoolers- maybe if she instead tried to help one of them win but got a little competitive about it, thatd be cute? idk. additionally she could work part time at the store, or at the guild, or clint's, it'd fit her character.

Sam

i get the player interactivity elements but what kind of goober goes through all the work to put a band together but doesnt know what genre they wanna play, unless theyre just a teen interested in the aesthetic of a band. it comes across sorta inauthentic. boy rolls his eyes and grumbles when his mom asks him to help clean a fish, too. cmon man, youre grown.

Sebastian

both sam and seb suffer from the same 'gawwd stay out of my room MOOOM' sort of vibes- maybe if they had an apartment together but still regularly visited their parents for dinner theyd come across as a little more grown (not to say that like, living with parents is inherently childish but how they interact with their folks comes across that way). he also really shouldn't be taking his angst out on his opinion of his half sister, and maybe if he had a little more of a solid adult go-plan than 'im gonna run away to the city' hed seem more mature.

could b better-

Shane

i dont want to be harsh on this guy but he sort of backslides after marriage hardcore. depression isnt a singular uphill climb but at least he could show hes still working on it- the occasional mention of a talk with a therapist, or cleaning up a little after himself, etc. maybe trying to eat a little better when living on a farm lol.

Penny

shes fine, other than the scene w/ george: pushing his wheelchair without asking and then HE apologizes/the scene fames this action as a good thing and you lose points with her if you point out it's rude. sometimes in trying to help people, you dont always do the right thing for them - that would be a little more nuanced for her.

im just picky-

Elliott + Harvey

theyre fine? maybe itd be fun if elliott went on some book tours or somesuch in the winter regularly after marriage, and harvey joined a plane hobbyist group or smth. they have a lot of personality but an issue a lot of these characters have is they just sort of putter out after marriage

Leah + Haley

this game has a lot of redheads lol. leah is fine though, and haley is cute. like other npcs id just want them to find their own independent success with their artistic skills- maybe letters come in the mail occasionally to them congratulating them on photos/sculptures making it into magazines, etc, to show they still have their own things going on

Emily + Maru

they're fine, i just like older/fanmade versions of their sprites more lol

#long post #ramble ramble #thank you for asking!!!#pls do not take my opinions seriously

while i do think part of late stage naruto writing was just to wrap things up, sasuke completely forgiving itachi really just shows that he will always be the little brother. i mean not just logically lol like the personality, the little brother that looks up to his big brother and looks up to him and looks to him for guidance, regardless of how right or wrong it is. like yes sasuke was gonna attack konoha when its the opposite of what itachi wanted, but in the end its still influenced by his feelings for itachi (non rom. obviously). itachi can do whatever he wants or thinks he has to do and sasuke will forgive him. meanwhile you have itachi who also will always see sasuke as the little brother, emphasis on little, controlling him and what he does, up to the very end, never seeing sasuke as a grown person that can make his own decisions or even considering why sasuke does what he does, always clouded by his unquestioning loyalty to konoha. i think ironically people calling him a genius really fucked with his intelligence since he always thinks hes in the right (planning on brainwashing his own baby brother??).

i think it would be super interesting to see a what-if scenario where itachi survives post-war and continues this. probably not to the same degree but you cannot tell me he would just suddenly go 'ok sasuke i trust you know whats right for you:)' there is just no fucking way. and sasuke having the time and space to actually think about how his big brother is not right, not just pushing it aside to blow konoha up in grief and anger. like actually getting to work these things out and. idk where im going with this. feel free to reply publicly

u really read my mind like to me itachi the worst case of Older Sister u will ever see but sasuke also is the worst case of little sister when u actually stop to think it through because he reallyyyy would forgive itachi for all and i cant say that doesnt makes sense. im a middle child but for the longest time i was the little sister and i know whats being on the spot of forgiving the worst things from my sister does even when i KNOW i wouldnt forgive that from anyone else (not to trauma dump here but i was literally outed by my own sister to my parents horribly and even if its one of my worst memories like Ever. i really forgave her the second she did it). like of course in sasuke and itachi’s case is soooo far worse and their power dynamic is so much more messed up but it makes complete sense to me i cant lie about that. and also i find their relationship one of the most compelling things in the manga along with sns because of that. its horrible but god if its not gut-wrenching. sasuke will ALWAYS deserve better in my eyes but his love for itachi is so so big and unfortunately for him itachi also loves him the same his problem is that his way of loving sasuke is soooo bad, that in the end even if its sad to see sasuke losing his brother a second time itachi dying is the Best outcome for both cus had he kept living his way to love sasuke would just have continued to mess with sasuke’s life. Like youre so rightt had itachi survived post war he wouldve NOT been suddenly become the best brother thats just not how he ever was w sasuke, even if he didnt saw it he wouldve kept trying to make sasuke follow the life path he puts for him, but also like u said i think w itachi alive and sasuke himself growing up he wouldve also on his own began to put his foot down too to itachi Worst Older Sister syndrome. because the thing about grief is that when u lose someone you love you dont want to think of the bad memories so it makes sense after itachi’s death sasuke refuses to think badly of him even if he has all the reasons, and keeps him STILL on that pedestal of older brother and its insane but like i said. i get it

#sorry i dont tgink i added much to what you say but Still

I’m absolutely *OBSESSED* with jasiker and xadian’s relationship and how it develops im so unhinged about them cause of the context of EVERYTHING that happens with them so i’m gonna ramble about it here since unfortunately they’re *MY* ocs….

(Warning: fucked up shit ahead)

But starting with the death of wendy and the original contract jasiker signed, originally xadian was just a bored demon planning to cause a little chaos. Solve jasiker’s problem in the most annoying and/or fucked up way possible and then run around on earth in jasiker’s body until he grew bored and decided to collect the human’s soul, typicald emon nonsense.

Only, Xadian didnt get bored.

He found that he really *liked* spending time with jasiker, even if the human was miserable and wanted an out in any way possible, but Xadian really liked jasiker and that feeling only grew fonder and fonder, in its own fucked up way of course.

He didnt want to let their connection go just yet. Sure he’d have full ownership of jasiker’s soul and could do anything he wanted with it in the afterlife, but there was something just so much more special and intimate about sharing a body that he didnt want to give up just yet.

He had control over jasiker and could completely stop him from doing things he didnt like, and Xadian really liked this feeling of control especially as being a somewhat lesser demon in his original realm.

Over time, xadian’s feelings evolved into a fucked up kind of love, full yandere style and he doesnt even try to hide it. He makes sure jasiekr hears it all the time, how much he loves him, while Jasiker meanwhile has slowly grown to a numb acceptance of his predicament, sorta stockholm syndrome-y as hes tried to escape but any and all avenues have been fully prevented by xadian.

They’re such a fucked up relationship i love it

#ocs #oc lore #jasiker willowspeak #xadian #cw yandere #tw yandere #tw possession #fucked up shit #idk what all to tag this #cw death #tw manipulation #tw manipulative #ask to tag #if theres something i need to tag PLEASE tell me #these two are incredibly fucked up #their whole thing should be a warning of its own #jasiker x xadian

Az scolding his shadows for sneaking out to hang out with Gwyn and then Gwyn scolding him for scolding the shadows as the shadows cheer their mommy on in the background🥰

Prompt idea from @imsointobooks Thank you so much! I loved writing this!

Everywhere. He'd searched everywhere.

Azriel had been frantic, searching for his shadows. He had been working on a report as they silently slid away from him. He'd noticed, but hadn't minded. They were used to slipping away and returning back to him in awhile. But never all of them, it was usually only a few jumpy ones, and came skittering back soon enough.

Now, after about almost 45 minutes or more, they still hadn't bothered coming back.

With the absence of them swarming over his shoulders, he felt incomplete. Spiraling back to being locked up in that dark cold cell, all alone. It was only when the shadows had chosen him, had protected him; had he felt safe. Now with them nowhere in sight, he felt lonely once more.

The shadows were a part of him, as he was of them. He was bounded to them seemingly by his soul, and deep within he knew, that they were safe and fine, wherever they were, and happy as well. Quite content than in a long while since now. He could feel them, their cheery emotions radiating pure joy to him. And he couldn't help but wonder, just what was making them so happy. And just where in Prythian were they?!

He was growing restless, he yelled into the void, demanding where they were. They jostled at once, before sneering back at him through the channel. But one shadow flew up to him, binding to his wrist and tugging him outside.

He followed, greatly irritated, not enjoying being pushed around. Out into the training ring, where the shadow pulled on him with such excitement that he stumbled in his steps. Gaining back his stance, he looked over and saw a fierce Valkyrie, dancing with her sword along with his shadows, fighting them. He tensed a moment, worried why his shadows were fighting with Gwyn. If they would intimidate her, but figured that was clearly not the case, marveling at how effortlessly she was yielding her sword, matching his shadows at every step. She wasn't afraid of them, she would not yield. That competitive strike he shared oh so well with her, never backing away from a challenge, always clashing him head on, word to word, blow to blow. Az rushed over to their side of the pit and summoned all his shadows to him in a haste, almost as if embracing them after missing them for too long. Unrelentingly they returned to him, supposedly deciding it was enough toying with him.

The priestess had noticed now, halting mid blow. She looked to Azriel and smiled brightly. "Oh hello there Shadowsinger!" "Or only singer, I suppose?" She gave him a mocking grin. Az rose an amused eyebrow, as to enquire. He had confessed that he could sing on Winter Solstice, was she teasing him for that? Gwyn only chuckled at him as she explained, "Well a Shadowsinger, whose shadows are missing from him, makes only a singer, does it not?" "And besides, you have admitted that you sing, I can only assume how well you are." Contemplating her answer, a heartbeat later, Az burst into fits of laughter, rich and loud. He laughed so hard that he had to sit down for a moment to catch his breath. He couldn't remember the last he laughed so heart fully. He looked up at Gwyn to see her gazing down at him fondly, like she was watching a baby giggle.

" Very bad joke Berdara." He remarked with a crooked grin.

"And is that why the reputed stoic faced spymaster is a muddle of laughter in front of me right now?"

"My humor seems to be just as dead as yours priestess. Unfortunate souls we are."

"Truly, yes of course." She retorted, trying and failing to hide that smile on her beautiful face.

"Jokes aside Shadowsinger, what brings you here?" She asked, piercing him with a knowing gaze. She knew the answer, only wanted to hear it from him.

"My shadows, well." "They disappeared and I found them here. They seem to be quite drawn to you."

"Well at least someone is," she muttered, not giving him the chance to ask her what that was about and immediately saying "I'm sorry if it bothered you. I was training alone when they showed up, so I decided to train with them. They're fun to have around, curious little souls."

This surprised him, it wasn't new to him that his shadows were off the leash when she was around, but considering them souls? Fun to be around with? No one had ever felt that way, Had never sympathized with the comfort his shadows brought him.

"That they are. When they disappeared, I immediately missed their company." He reminisced all the times they were his steady lone companions in the darkness.

"I'm sorry if it occurs as if I'm stealing them from you. I understand that they are a part of you. I only enjoy their company as much as yours." She apologized with a heavy guilty look, genuinely worried if she had offended Az by his shadows to taking a liking her.

"No Gwyneth- nothing of such sort. The shadows admire you deeply and enjoy your company very much. I'm happy to see them associate with you. It is not everyday, actually never that they are accepted and liked by anyone but me. And likewise that they ever pick interest in anyone. They must've grown steadily bored of me as well." He admitted. "And are you admitting that you enjoy my company?" He threw her a taunting smirk.

"Well five hundred years into with a brooding spymaster might do that to them." "And well yes, you aren't the worst company to have around Shadowsinger, one of the best really, seeing that you come in package with these lovelies." And as on cue one of his shadows darted to her, twirling itself around her raised palm as she giggled looking at it. At the sound of her melodic voice, the rest of his shadows took of to her from behind him twirling round her like a litter of puppies, no matter how hard he tried to reign them in.

"For the love of Cauldron, stop running bothering her you little menaces!" He yelled at them, "Do you HAVE to disobey me and embarrass me in front of her?!"

"But we aren't disobeying you Shadowsinger, Neither are we bothering her. We adore her and she likes us!" They shouted joyously. "Are you jealous Shadowsinger?" They taunted him.

Jealous? What possibly for could he be jealous of them; that they could see Gwyn whenever they wished to? That they could bring her beautiful smiles and bounts of laughter alive? Or that they could be as close to her as they wished and graze her skin?

" Enough." He let out sternly. "Stop dazzling and come back here. You're grounded for a week. No Gwyn. No sneak outs." He reeled them in with all his strength despite their protests. They were going off hook and disturbing the priestess way too much. The shadows tried running to Gwyn and hide behind her back as Az pulled them in.

The corners of Gwyn's lips turned down as she frowned on him.

"Azriel..." She put her hands on her hips and faced him with a stern expression. Az looked back to her in confusion.

"Are you trying to stop your shadows from associating with me? Am I such a bad influence on them?" She asked with a hint of nervousness.

" No- Gwyn, they- I don't want them disturbing you. You don't have to put up with their fuzziness. I wouldn't want want them to frighten you. They are only a discomfort and remainder of my darkness to many."

"Seriously?" Gwyn gave him an incredulous look. "You think they disturb me? I love them! They are SO much fun! They look out for me. Why would they ever frighten me!? They're such a steady and soothing companion when I lay awake because of my nightmares. They care for me! And I will not let you break my beautiful friendship with them just because you think they would scare me. Never apologize for what you are Az, you are a Shadowsinger. Your shadows are a part of you. No part of you would ever scare me Az." She held his hand in his hers "I see you, all of you. And I am not afraid."

Az didn't know what to say, he was overwhelmed. This female, standing in front of him. Facing him, unafraid and accepting.

He could only croak out "Why?" His voice full of raw emotion.

"I think you already know the answer to that." Her voice almost inaudible as she patted his chest and smiled softly.

"Now let those shadows out before I make you fight me." She ordered immediately before he could ponder on what she said before.

And he did, how could he ever deny her? He let his shadows out as they jumped to her, cheering her on for bringing them freedom, and dancing along with her laugh. Another sight he would never forget, bringing him a smile as he buried this image deep within. Again glowingly brightly in his chest

And here's another one. I didnt try for any physical descriptions this time.

And while writing I seemed to have made it more of a description of Az and his shadows' relation than their liking to Gwyn. It doesnt really perfectly fit the head canon and that was why I was planning of a part 2 to this if you guys wanted. Let me know if you're up for it!

Up next I have another A-mazing idea from @aelingalathyniusrailme and I absolutely loved it! It might take a day or two but I want put up my best for it!

Always open for suggestions and feedback. Feel free to send me Head Canons and other prompts!

do you think the red wedding outcome would happen in a universe where domeric bolton lived & fought in the WOTFK? would he have remained loyal to the starks, or have been included in roose's plans?

This is an interesting ask, but unfortunately also one with a lot of unknown variables... I will divide this long reply into chapters:

Characterization of Domeric

We only know little about Domeric’s personality. We know that he was a “quiet boy”, very talented with a diverse array of hobbies. We also know that he was friends with Lord Redfort’s sons, implying that his quiet personality doesn’t translate to him being a loner and that he has a social streak to him - he also later wants a brother by his side, so it seems he was lonely in the Dreadfort and craved company.

In the Vale, Domeric had enjoyed the company of Redfort's sons. He wanted a brother by his side, so he rode up the Weeping Water to seek my bastard out.

We know nothing about Domeric’s feelings about the Starks. He was born and raised a Bolton, who historically do not have the best relationship with the Starks; despite Boltons bending the knee to House Stark, we do not have a recorded marriage between the two houses. However, Domeric spent 4 years as Lady Dustin’s page and 3 years at the Redfort, opening up the possibility that his values might not have been entirely influenced by Roose (similar to how Ned got an education in honorable values through Jon Arryn). Barbrey is known to despise the Starks, but was also Brandon’s lover and is shown in aDwD to still have fondness for him, so it is unsure which values she might have imparted on Domeric.

Domeric is said to have been a good jouster, and enjoyed the company of his friends. He might have liked being part of Robb’s honor guard, which has at least several characters that seem to be around his age (i got the impression it’s all young people, like a squad for Robb).

While we never hear about Domeric being cruel or unlikable, we also have to take into account that most of his descriptions come from his own father talking about him, who has reason to concentrate on the positive aspects. Barbrey seems to have loved him, but she is also his aunt, and since her positon as Lady of Barrowton forces her into being an eternal widow, she might have seen Domeric as a son of sorts, so she would have been biased. We also know he was good friends with the Redforts, so he probably does have charme to his personality and does not present himself in an unlikable way. However I do not think this necessarily has to translate into him being a good person or a “cinnamon roll”; there’s plenty of characters in the books that are well liked and charming but still commit war crimes and other cruelties.

Relationship to Roose

Roose never makes a direct statement about his relationship to Domeric. We know he took care to give him a good education (music, histories, and fighting are mentioned), and he sent him to House Dustin and House Redfort to be fostered which is a great opportunity for a young Lordling to forge connections.

I believe Roose expresses fondness for Domeric in the way he talks about him; He mentions him and then launches into a long reminiscence without much of a reason (thought granted that is pretty much the theme of that chapter), he proudly mentions all his talents and how gifted he was, and seems to talk with a certain sadness/bitterness:

Now his bones lie beneath the Dreadfort with the bones of his brothers, who died still in the cradle, and I am left with Ramsay.

Horses … the boy was mad for horses, Lady Dustin will tell you. Not even Lord Rickard's daughter could outrace him, and that one was half a horse herself.

Unfortunately that doesn’t necessarily need to translate back into Domeric being fond of his father - We can compare this to Roose’ relationship to Barbrey, where he seems to put trust and effort into her (”How many of our grudging friends do you imagine we'd retain if the truth were known? Only Lady Barbrey“ | “[Roose] takes care to keep me sweet”), while she on the other hand talks in a very disillusioned way about him (”Roose has no feelings, you see.”). We do know Roose appears to be the only Bolton (besides Ramsay), so the lonely Domeric might feel attachment to him in that aspect. Roose is generally liked by few characters, and often appears cold and unfeeling. He is deeply flawed, has a mean aspect to his character (like his mean sense of humour), is mocked for his strange health habits, and seems to talk a lot and think hes very smart and witty. On the other hand he is also somewhat tolerant/laissez-faire (”Your amusements are your own, I will not chide you on that count”), he seems to have provided Domeric with everything he could want and supported all his hobbies, and judging by how Walda seems to like and trust him (”Lady Walda gave a shriek and clutched at her lord husband's arm.”), and he also doesn’t agree with Ramsay’s treatment of Jeyne ("Roose is not pleased. Tell your bastard that."), we can assume that Roose does not treat his family members in a cruel way. It is also worth mentioning that his cold and unfeeling attitude seems to be at least partially motivated by him trying to hide his intentions in fear of them being used against him (in line with his other cautious behaviour), so it might very well be that he is warmer towards people he trusts (Note that we only ever observe him from the PoV of people he is not close to). So while there is a lot to dislike and be annoyed by about Roose, he also has qualities that Domeric might have liked.

It is interesting to analyze the scenes with Roose and Ramsay for how he might have interacted with Domeric. We know Roose loves to educate Ramsay on how to be a good Lord and impart his wisdom to him, and that he also frequently enrages Ramsay with the tone he uses. The quote “I forbade it, but Domeric was a man grown and thought that he knew better than his father.” suggests to me that he might have butted heads with Domeric in a similar way, giving him advice that Domeric doesn’t always listen to. Since Domeric openly disobeyed Roose, it appears he was not scared of his father, and that he had a proud/stubborn aspect to him.

It is of course also important to note the differences: Ramsay is of a lowerclass background (Roose has been shown to be classist - “His blood is tainted, that cannot be denied.”); He has a cruel und unwise personality that might frustrate Roose and make him resort to using a meaner tone with Ramsay; and we know Roose on occasion talks negatively about Ramsay when he is not there (”Ramsay's nature was sly, greedy, and cruel. I count myself well rid of him.“), though he has also talked positively about him in related scenes (”Yet he is a good fighter, as cunning as he is fearless.”). While he talks in a condescending tone to Ramsay and even insults him, he might have had more of a respectful tone to his competent, trueborn son.

Domeric and the Red Wedding

I think in any case, Roose would have tried to take care to keep Domeric out of any great danger. Domeric would have surely argued with him on many points (”Domeric was a man grown and thought that he knew better than his father“), and since he seems to have had martial prowess he would have probably insisted on participating in battle. If Roose had tried to participate in the Red Wedding without Domeric’s knowledge, Domeric would have probably been a nuisance; he appears to be highly intelligent, he has no fear of speaking out against his father if he doesn’t agree with an idea, and he doesnt seem to blindly comply with his fathers wishes if he doesn’t see a reason to. Roose would likely not have let him near a situation as dangerous as the Red Wedding especially if Domeric doesn’t know about the plan, but it might have been hard to get him out of the way without a good reason.

If Domeric knew about the Red Wedding, he would be a good asset, since he’d likely have a position close to Robb (as i mentioned the guard seems like something he’d participate in). However even in this case I think Roose would have tried to keep him out of the Wedding itself, as not to put his sole heir in danger.

However, another problem is that not only does Roose never state his precise list of reasons for the red wedding (making it a point of debate to discern what exactly changes if you change the course of events), according to grrm he also wasn’t even completely set in his tracks to go through with the Red Wedding until pretty much the last minute:

As for Bolton, if you reread all his sections carefully, I think you will see a picture of a man keeping all his options open as long as he could... sniffing the wind, covering his tracks, ready to jump either way... even as late as his supper with Jaime at Harrenhal... - SSM 8/3/2000

Domeric’s presence could influence so many plot points it is hard to say if Roose would have even come to the point of getting the Red Wedding in motion.

Would Domeric even go to war with Roose or would he stay behind as Castellan of the Dreadfort like Ramsay did? Is Ramsay even still there/does he still have a position of power or role in the story? If Ramsay isn’t there do Bran and Rickon even flee and get presumed dead? If Bran and Rickon are still alive does Cat still free Jaime and commit an unpopular political decision? Does Winterfell still burn? It doesn’t seem likely that Roose instructed Ramsay in the minutiae of what happens in Winterfell considering Ramsay is presumed dead before he even enters it; So would Domeric in charge of the Dreadfort have instead opted to liberate Winterfell if someone reached out to him? Note that the disaster at Winterfell seems to be one of the main reasons that Roose considered the Red Wedding:

"I [serve] the King in the North. Or the King Who Lost the North, as some now call him.“ - aSoS, dinner with Jaime

"What … what do you owe me, m'lord?" - "The north. The Starks were done and doomed the night that you took Winterfell." He waved a pale hand, dismissive. "All this is only squabbling over spoils." - aDwD, dialogue with Theon

Also with a trueborn and gifted adult heir, would Roose even have considered marrying a Frey maiden? Would Domeric have wed one instead, or would Roose prefer a better alliance for him? Would Roose marrying a Frey count that much for an alliance if the Frey child wouldn’t even inherit the Dreadfort?

Conclusion

As you see there are many questions and What-Ifs, and probably even more that i didn’t mention considering how much of a butterfly effect all of asoiaf is. So i don’t think there is any “canon answer” to what would have happened; it all hinges on how you interpret Domeric’s personality, his relationship to his father, what changes to the plot his presence might have brought, and how you think Roose might have reacted to them.

so my youngest brother (that still lives with our parents) is going to need rides to and from work for the next couple of days because said parents are going out of town.

so last night my siblings and I (minus my 2nd to youngest brother who doesn’t like baby brother at all🤣) we were discussing details of who drops off/picks up on each day since the whole plan has been half cocked since we learned they were leaving a little over a week ago

so off handedly I asked him what time he wakes up in the morning just in case we have to do a wake up call as well

(which I was secretly hoping he would need because if I gotta be up early asf on my days off somebody better be miserable with me and my blow horn🖕🏽)

this gremlin says 4am🤬

um excuse me baby yoda (mind ya he doesnt have to be there until 6am)

so I ask why and he replies in a duh tone

“I have anxiety”

fast forward to this morning I have the pleasure😤 of being the first sibling to take him to work 😬 and he unfortunately wants to make small talk on the way there

NO! I am not awake, the only reason I made it to my parents house is muscle memory because I for damn sure wasnt coherent

so he asks how I am and in my mind im currently strangling him but I quietly say that I am tired

which in itself should have been a cue for him to shut tf up and enjoy the free ride but noooooooo

he’s like why? what time did you go to sleep?

first of all mind ya business im grown

I tell him 1am, he scoffs at me and asks why?

in my mind im dog walking him but out loud I tell him

“the same reason you wake up at 4am”

side note: baby brother told 2nd to youngest brother that he peaked in highschool🤣😂

hey im the anon abt gyutaro/ume and i dont remember what happens to demons after they die ?? did i miss smth ? regardless i wanna ask what do you think their fate should be ? cause on one hand i think they're just victims of a cruel world who took the first way out they could find but on the other hand it doesnt rlly justify all the slaughter, and i also think abt the demon slayers who also suffered horrible fates and used it to fuel their determination to save other people from that pain

hi !! i don’t think kny ever explicitly mentions what happens to demons after they die (as in we never have concrete evidence of where they go or how their lives after are spent), but i think the general consensus is that the demons go to hell.

in some cases, the family can decide to go with them (ex: rui and i think akaza? if i remember correctly?) but their fate is pretty much sealed from that point forward i believe.

heres a pic of gyuutarou and ume, actually, in chapter 97 !!

but yeah !! thats something i think about a lot tbh. as you mentioned, many of the demons we’ve seen have either been groomed into demonhood (rui, ume, susamaru, etc.) or had their pain and suffering exploited (akaza, gyuutarou) for the sake of advancing other demons’ plans (muzan, douma, etc). so i agree ! a lot of these characters are unfortunate victims in themselves and its impossible to view their stories without incorporating the struggles they’ve had to face as both humans AND demons. especially considering that lots of these individuals experience muzan’s abuse regardless of their status relative to him (such as with the upper and lower moons). i think this is best explained through akaza’s relationship with muzan,

(ch. 67)

(ch.156)

and further explored though tanjiro’s observation of rui’s death. he notes that being a demon, for most, is an existence punctuated by extreme grief and despair, and that’s equally supported, i think, by the humanization of these demons following death. that their original conscious is restored (albeit with knowledge of everything they’ve done) and are oftentimes plagued by the guilt of what’s happened.

(ch.43)

what he says here is probably what sums it up for me. that while it’s important to condemn these demons and hold them accountable for the truly awful things they’ve done, it’s also important to consider the suffering they've experienced through existence alone. its so !! complex !! and thats what i love about kny. i love how .. you have some demons who are entirely despicable and bask in the carnage they create, but you also have some for whom demonhood was simply what appeared to be the only answer towards living a healthier life or righting the wrongs that’ve been done to them (usually with false promises and manipulation unbeknownst to them). and .. its so hard to figure out where to.. draw that line. or view these characters at least. because you sympathize with their pain, but you also realize that their actions have caused endless pain for many hundreds of people. tanjiro losing his entire family, giyuu losing his. shinobu watching her sister die before her very eyes, and kanao the same. the ubuyashiki family’s curse or the slaughter of himejima’s children. you look at characters like sanemi, shinobu, or giyuu and understand that you cannot invalidate their view of demons either. while kanae and tanjiro may find hope and humanity in demons, they exist as monsters who feast on pain to everyone else. its important not to discredit their perspective when making a personal choice to observe the demons’ hardships yknow. shinobu’s anger is just as warranted as tanjiro’s optimism and that neither are wrong for how they personally feel demons should be handled after death.

im like. AAAAAAAA theres so much to it , its really hard for me to condense into a few sentences AHAHA im so sry for making u read this if u still are. but . i guess i’m not too sure. i think maybe, had i experienced the same pain as those above, it would be easy for me to say the demons deserve to go to the worst hell imaginable regardless of what they’ve gone through because that history isn’t accessible to everyone like it has been the audience (or that they’ve seemingly made the conscious decision to cause harm w/o understanding the ways in which demonhood obscures their original conscious/morality). but at the same time, you have those like tanjiro whose world view is shaped by positive encounters with demons like nezuko, tamayo, yushirou, etc. where it seems very evident that . theres more to it than what meets the eye.

one of my friends ive talked to about this had a rly good perspective on it thats kinda stuck with me since !! she said she likes to view their conclusion as some . separation of identity?? if that makes sense?? that the demon side of them goes to hell while their human form goes to heaven (or division into whichever afterlife). and !! i think thats a really neat interpretation because there’s obvious descrepancy between demon personas and human personas. that the demon personas are like. exaggerations of their flaws, almost (akaza becoming hellbent on battle spirits and physical victories when hajuki’s fury & determination was fueled by love in a sense) while their human personas are the truest sense of self. and depending on which influence there is (muzan vs the appearance of loved ones), their identity changes accordingly. so ! idk ! thats one nice way of looking at it. holding their demon personas accountable while also recognizing that many of these characters deserve some form of healing after many hundreds of years of abuse. its hard because ofc i don’t want to negate the harms they’ve caused but its also? not cut and dry given the environment they were placed in and the fact that muzan’s blood essentially removes their humanity against their will you know. so in this way at least you have both forms of self receiving the proper conclusion.

whwhwhw so im. !!!!!!!!!!!! ah !! i can’t say i have a definite answer but i think the one above is smth thats comforting to me. i think the story settles with sending them to hell once they’ve regained their past self but also .. “softens” it by providing them company by their loved ones who are willing to go w them?? so thats rly cool to look at too. because it holds them accountable for all that’s happened but also.. recognizes that they’re not wholly responsible for it either and that .. even in hell they’re able to keep their connections and human emotions/experiences . its tragic yet oddly. fitting, i think, of the kny narrative. while i like the aforementioned interpretation, i also really.. appreciate the way its set up in canon too. like yeah i want the best for them but also. it fits in with the tragic nature of demonhood and what it meant for them all. oddly enough.

u make a good point too !! about demon slayers experiencing the same hardships but using their pain to help others. i think a lot of it is plainly chalked up to luck in terms of.. what they were exposed to following tragedy. how shinobu and kanae were saved by himejima, tanjiro saved by giyuu, kanao picked up by shinobu and kanae, sanemi given the guidance of kagaya while akaza was killed by muzan during his lowest moment, ume and gyuutarou were cornered by douma, rui misled by muzan, etc. i think circumstance is definitely a large factor in determining the paths that were taken. such as sanemi’s anger being validated and heard by ubuyashiki vs, say, akaza’s same anger being intentionally exploited for muzan’s gain.

aaa anyways. theres a lot 2 be said about this. like. SO much on my mind and obviously the extent of muzan’s abuse goes far deeper than what’s briefly mentioned here but. i love talking about the complexities of kny . and how i view the demons vs the corps and how each of them have grown into their respective stories . AA but ill end it here THNK U >> also so sry for making u read thru all of this i get so excited i could talk abt kny all day long if i had the chance AAA

#Anonymous #asktag #tldr: UH im a sympathetic bitch who wishes for some form of recovery for Some demons while also #finding it necessary to hold them accountable.#and easy way to do that is to split identities between human and demon persona but thats mighty convenient for such #a large issue so . the current narrative is probably the one i still oddly like #just bc the little peace they get before descent into hell is. really big #and their support by loved ones following them thru is also. really big #anyways. ya viri i thot of what u said bc its so good #its been a while so idk if its the exact version of how u view it but thts how it stuck w me JSBFSKBFSBJF #naywaysb I LOVE KNY AAAAAAAAAAAAA screams #kny #kny spoilers #kny manga #save for later

Evolution of an OC

Here I am to show how one of my favourite OCs has grown and developed over time. Of course, it’s Dijana.

A little background, typically when I play games, I have character archetypes that I recreate until I end up developing a story for them, and then I leave them in that media. So the ‘original’ Dijana, was my character archetype of ‘dark, evil magic user’. The name ‘Dijana’ means heavenly, divine, so it was meant to be ironic. She was never an evil character, just used dark or forbidden types of magic.

So lets begin.

Final Fantasy XI

There wasnt really customisation in this game. You had a few preset faces, each with 2 different haircolours. This was the one I chose. I don’t have a screenshot from that, but lets just say, that specific face looked terrible in game. Hurhur

Dijana was originally a hume. Going with the forbidden magic theme, she was a summoner. I eventually learnt about dat editing, so swapped her out for a shorter, pink haired model.

I had/have a developed storyline for this characer, and she still exists even though I’m not actively playing FFXI anymore. I eventually changed from Summoner main, to Dancer main. Here’s poopy old chibi sketches from 15 years ago.

FINAL FANTASY XIV

FFXIV 1.0 essentially recreated all the races and faces from FFXI...except for that one over the shoulder hairstyle for hume/hyur. So I went with the short haired style. There was no summoner or dancer back then, so I started as marauder in the alpha and beta tests (yes I’ve been playing that long). After the wipe and leading into official launch, I went archer instead.

FINAL FANTASY XIV: A REALM REBORN

Still the same looking hyur that she’s been forever. I was excited for SMN release, but it didn’t match Dijana’s established history going all the way back to XI. I instead leveled as SCH, but went back to BRD.

During this time, Dijana’s story just...didn’t really convert well from XI to XIV. I RP’d a bit with her, she married a miqo’te man (no not G’raha), and eventually decided to finally try some new hairs and looks. She was still always pink haired white girl though.

FINAL FANTASY XIV: HEAVENSWARD

Ahh Heavensward. I wasn’t really into the idea of playing a lizard girl, but I didn’t like midlander’s princess run. I was very interested in Au Ra’s lore though, so as soon as the first expansion launched, I bit the bullet and race changed.

I essentially just tried to duplicate her look as an au ra, but I alternated between raen and xaela a whole lot. I could never decide which I liked more- lore wise it was xaela, but aesthetics (for the more vibrant tones) it was raen.

I started to gradually sort out her story a bit more, and decided IC she was mixed- raen mother and xaela father. I bought so many fantasias back then changing back and forth, and gradually making her skin darker each time. Also decided I didnt like the fish horns.

FINAL FANTASY XIV: STORMBLOOD

This is when I finally decided to sort out her character story and settled on staying as a xaela. Going into SB, I knew we’d be going to the Azim Steppe, so I went through the xaela tribes info to decide which tribe she was initially born to. I decided on Oronir as the most suitable, and so when I finally made it to the Steppe, I wanted to find a xaela man who most resembled Dijana, even if it was an unnamed npc, and make that her long lost father. Who did I find? Freaking Magnai. Obviously he is too young to be her father...and uh...cant seem to find a woman anyway, so he is her half brother.

I stopped doing any RP on Dijana during this time. To cut a long story short, my rp partner and Dijana’s husband decided he was going to rp out an ‘alternate’ timeline with another friend of his, after we agreed no romance RP with others on our mains, and made a far more detailed storyline than we had in years. Lets just say my feelings were pretty hurt, so I decided that Dijana’s storyline would not involve other player characters, only NPCs.

And because I love to torture my own characters, she was pining after G’raha Tia, who had locked himself away in the tower, never to be seen again.

Well, look how that turned out.

FINAL FANTASY XIV: SHADOWBRINGERS

By now, Dijana has a dedicated storyline without me constantly unsure wtf I’m doing. I discovered mods by now, so making Dijana look more how I imagine is much easier. Unfortunately, feels like all the hair mods I like don’t have working highlights :I So Dijana’s blonde/gold tipped hair doesnt really get to be seen much. But the best part? FREAKING FINALLY I GOT DANCER

Crystal Exarch’s presence in this expansion obviously threw a wrench into the plan of ‘lets make my character as miserable as possible’ but what the hell, now I can take sappy screenshots.

And now we are all caught up. Pink haired human to dusky lizard girl.

Yoonjin

this could be the start of something new by honeyboyyoongi G | 5.3k | AU | Getting the lead in the winter musical is part of Seokjin’s twelve step plan to woo student accompanist/local cryptid Yoongi and he’s not letting anything, not even Jungkook and Namjoon’s Disney romance, get in the way. a high school musical au

They're not supposed to be together, except when they are--hands all over each other when they show up at underground parties, the new hot 'couple' except--they're not together together, of course not. that would be ridiculous. like the way Yoongi sometimes looks at him, like he's the missing lyric that he's been working on. or how Seokjin's ideal type of "short, pretty, ambitious" doesn't refer to any female or idol in the industry. no, that would definitely be ridiculous. '"I don't think your friends like me very much," Seokjin concludes after the seventh snide remark about being an idol or a trophy boyfriend or winning trophies that don't matter or maybe something about idols fucking trophies, he's lost count after his third soju. The MCountdown trophy is perfectly spherical on top, so Seokjin's not sure how anyone could fuck it, really.'

pomegranate by 55cancrie T | 3.7k | AU | It's the bassist, Yoongi realizes with some shock. And the bassist--he’s the guy from outside, who knocked the lollipop out of his hand, who shoved those candies at him. With the instrument case on his back. He's got a beautiful voice.

Precisely When Somebody Shows You to the Ocean by sinkingmyships M | 21.2k | AU | The longer Yoongi hangs around the tank in the aquarium, the more he thinks that Seokjin is, in fact, a real mermaid. “You’re really real,” he says, keeping his voice neutral. “You’re not acting, are you?” Seokjin smiles, yet it’s the saddest Yoongi has seen him. “I am acting, though. I’m pretending to pretend to be a mermaid.”

Lead Me Towards The Deep End by sinkingmyships G | 2.8k | AU | In the framed photograph in Yoongi's bedroom, Seokjin is sandwiched between Jeongguk and Jimin. Glinting scale, flared flukes, bare skin, a pair of light-wash jeans. A boy and his mermaids. Yoongi still wishes he’d gotten a photo of all of them, with Namjoon and Hoseok and Taehyung too, when they were all in one place, but it hadn’t crossed his mind back then. This time, they’ll all go to the beach together. Or: an epilogue to their whale of a tale.

açaí by 55cancrie T | 3.2k | AU | Yoongi has a love that belongs to the sea, who worries after him with full-hearted love, with trembling fingers, with the longing of oceans.

All the Time in the World by whenflowersbloom M | 1.7k | AU | Seokjin and Yoongi are vampires, extremely soft for each other 24/7.

Namseok

make my heart beat out my chest by morsku E | 7.6k | AU | Hoseok knows he and Namjoon are growing lazy and boring in many aspects of their relationship, but it only starts bothering him when he realizes it's happening to their sex life too.

Taegi

warm haze by brightlight E | 3k | AU | Taehyung doesn't see the point in getting dressed in a heat wave with no power; Yoongi was really just trying to read a book.

A Family Can Be Seven Grown Men and a Pomeranian by minvmin T | 5.8k | AU | “can’t anyone walk around this house at night without hearing sex noises?” -seokjin, probably or, “if taehyung doesnt shut up about yoongi i might kill him or yoongi or myself, whichever comes first." -jimin, definitely or, the ot7/taegi chat fic that no one (but kinda some people) asked for

i think you look cute (can i get your number) by taegiwithluv T | 7.2k | AU | jiminnie <3 OK i got a solution why not you pretend to be yeontan?? u know like how some people use their cats/dogs as their tinder profile u could do that!!! taetae 🌻 oh yeah ur right jiminnie <3 im always right wdym :/ or the one where taehyung makes a tinder page but as yeontan

swipe right;; by heyyyjude T | 3.9k | AU | “As a single gay man…” Taehyung cleared his throat. “... especially lately it’s been a lot harder to find something more…” He trailed off trying to find the right words to express himself. “Meaningful?” “Yes, more meaningful than just some one night stand or casual hook up.” “So… that brought you to Tinder?” Taehyung smiled over at him slyly, “It brought me to you.” // Or, Taehyung finds Yoongi on tinder and decides to take a chance.

Taekook

75% Sugar, No Ice by orphan_account G | 2.7k | AU | Apparently the new boba shop around the corner does delivery, and Taehyung thinks the guy who does the dropoffs is pretty cute. Also, Jimin’s a shitty wingman and Taehyung sucks at taking cues.

X-Men

Cherik

Order Up by ikeracity G | 4.3k | AU | Charles has a terrible habit of multitasking, and that is probably why he absentmindedly tells the pizza man that he loves him when hanging up. Then the pizza man says it back. And Charles is pretty much smitten from there.

A list of my favourite fictional grey characters (not in order) SPOILER ALERT!

Regina Mills (Once Upon A Time)

There is a reason why Regina is called «The Evil Queen» She was pure evil. A murderer, a kidnapper, a rapist, how could I like her? Well it wasnt before season 3 I started to like her. It took a lot of time. And I suppose I will never fully love her after she raped Graham for...years... and murdered people - children when she was a tiny bit frustrated. I would even say that she is irredeemable. And I thought her redemtion arc was unrealistic in the beginning, and for God’s sake, she should not have been crowned The Good Queen in season 7. But she tried to change so hard for Henry, she tried to redeem herself. Tried to be a good mother for a change. She saved multiple lives and souls. She didnt completely redeem herself, I must admit it. But she tried so hard and I feel like she deserves something from that. She eventually became a very good mother, even though it was a little late since Henry was already 12 when she became one. She was still a bitter bitch and blamed innocent people for unfortunate things that happened to her (Zelena, Mary Margaret, Emma) but by season 7, she became something more than that. She became half good. Grey. And even though she didnt completely redeem herself, she came close. Also, I love her sassy personality, she should be crowned The Sassy Queen, not The Good Queen.

Rumplestiltskin (Once Upon A Time)

The Dark One who after 7 seasons became one of the greatest heroes in OUAT. The man who was known as the village coward because he ran away from the Ogre War and was too afraid to fight for his wife became one of the bravest men. Like Regina, he was a murderer. He was super manipulative with all his deals and the «all magic comes with a price, dearie» thing. He manipulated people into getting themselves killed. Before he became The Dark One, he was a good man with a pure heart. But the power of the dagger took over him and his heart was all black. He was power sick. He always wanted power, but not for selfish reasons. He felt like he needed power to protect his son Bealfire/Neal and his wife Milah, but when he took that power, the darkness came over him and he, after time, became evil. It wasn’t before he met Belle French his heart showed a little bit of light. As he said, she was his light in an ocean of darkness. Their relationship was problematic and selfish in the beginning. He manipulated her into thinking he changed (which you know i detest *cough* James Potter) Rumple loved power more than he loved her, at least in season 4. He too often chose it over her, until season 6 when he started to properly redeem himself. His redemtion arc took over 300 years but it came in the end. His love for her changed A LOT. In the other seasons, his love was unhealthy and selfish. But in season 6 and 7, he changed a lot. This time it wasnt only for Belle, but Gideon too. They helped him let go of power and in season 7, he tried so hard to get rid of the dagger and the power so that he could live a normal life with his family. And after Belle died, he didn’t return to the dagger or the dark side. He helped the good side to defeat Drizella and the other villians in that season. He even became a father figure to Alice. And in the end he sacrificed himself to save Killian’s (Nook) life. And he got reunited with Belle. He is the most interesting character in OUAT, no doubt there.

Sawyer/James Ford (LOST)

Sawyer is without a doubt one of my fave characters from LOST (after Charlie and John) in his background, he was a thief and manipulated woman to believe he loved them, just to take all their money. (Maybe except Cassidy, since he fell in love with her later, but he still manipulated her AND got her pregnant) He’s a real asshole. Buuut - then he became an entirely different (and better) man. He meets Kate Austen and I feel like his love for her changes his character. In the beginning he was a bit of a perve with her (i mean, walking straight towards her completely naked...) he doesnt develope much in the 1 season, but later (beginning in the 3 season) he becomes quite selfless and protective. In season (was it 4? I dont quite remember) he falls in love again with Juliet Burke, and heeeeell, she was good for him. He also developes a nice relationship with Claire Littleton (platonic) he becomes protective of her. He attemts to comfort Hurley after Charlie’s death. In the rest of the seasons he is the born leader. He puts the team before himself (like when he sacrificed his chance to escape the Island) and in the paralell universe he is absolutely the best.

Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights)

Okay, no he’s not exactly a grey character since he’s a lot more dark than light, but I love him too much to not put him here. Differently from the other character I’ve mentioned above, Heathcliff doesnt have a redemtion. He died an awful person. He abused and manipulated a lot of people. Before he became this asshole, he was a much better person. He was an ass to those who deserved it (Hindley, That bitch deserved to die so young. Edward was a kind man, but I don’t like him, sooo... nevermind) The way he treated Isabella was sickening and awful, she had every right to leave him and take Linton away and hate him. I Don’t like Isabella, but she never deserved to be treated that way. His love for Cathy was unhealthy, but it was true and he would do so much for her. (They kinda remind me of Snily, so ofc I ship it) Heathcliff went through so much trauma in his life and never recovered. After Cathy died, he was practically dead too, then he killed himself years later. His life made me cry for days, especially the ending. He is such an interesting character with so many layers.

Ulrich Nielsen (Dark)

(Before I say anything, I haven’t finished the entire show yet, so this is gonna be short and probably not 100% correct)

To be honest, I don’t like Ulrich at all as a person. I look at him and I see a fully grown up man with no remorse for what he did to Regina as a teen. He cheated on his wife with a woman he didnt even love. He tried to murder a CHILD who hadnt done anything wrong (yet) because he thought he was going to kill his brother and son in the future (okay, i get why he did it. He was desperate to get Mikkel back and the whole time-tarvelig thing was extremely stressfull) BUT HE COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING A LOT LESS HARMFULL TO PREVENT EVERYTHING TO HAPPEN. Despite this, i love him as a character. He is so interesting and there are times were I have to remind myself why i dont like him. He is brave and intelligent and... so fucking hot as a teen.

Hannah Kahnwald (Dark)

(Again, havent watched the whole show yet)

This girl is MESSED UP. When she was fourteen, she accused Ulrich of being a rapist, which is a very serious accusation and then blamed it on Regina who she knew was a victim of Ulrich and Katharina’s bullying. She is a home-wrecker, and when Katharina found out about Ulrich cheating on her with Hannah and confronted her, Hannah blamed it on Ulrich and said he pressed her and that she wanted it to end, but he refused or whatever, i dont 100% remember the conversation. But she was also a very good mother to Jonas and she was so sweet to Mikkel/Michael. She is a bitch, so much that its impossible to not like her.

Severus Snape (Harry Potter)

Saved the best one to last. The guy my whole account is about, ofc he’s on this list, and ofc this is gonna be the longest text.

This guy is a complete asshole. Always has been, always will be. He bullied Harry and Co (mostly Harry and Neville) he was a bitter and sarcastic bitch. He used to be a follower of Voldemort. Even in his youth he had a lot of flaws. We all know he became the bastard he was due to childhood trauma, mental illnesses and manipulation. I believe he had depression, grief and PTSD. At least in his 20’s he was suicidal, and I believe it remained like that til the day he died, because he had no one to help him or give him support. He turned to the dark side in an attemt to make his life better (as many members of gangs do) but he only stayed like that for two years, which is extremely impressive if you know what kind of person Voldemort is. As a 21 year old, Snape was a very different person from what he was as a 38 year old. If he was the way he was as a 38 yr old when Lily, James and Harry was in danger. First of all, he wouldnt start to try to save Lily by asking Voldemort, he would have went straight to Dumbledore, probably with his own brilliant plan on how to save them. Second, he wouldnt hesitate for a second to save James and Harry to. In canon, he needed to have a personal reason to save them, which was Lily’s feelings I believe. As a 38 yr old, he risked his life to save people he hated (Lupin) This is a great character developement. He went from being a selfish bitch, to become a selfless asshole. He was that kind of person who did anything in his power to protect someone, even if that person had nothing to do with winning the war and had nothing to gain himself.

Okay so last week was a shitkicker and was literally so bad I spent the better part of the week trying to delude myself into thinking it was a good day. Like, we're talking, "the sun is shining and I'm here to see it so today is a good day" and "I'm having a bad day- fuck me I am not haveing a bad day- I'm having a good day- I'm not having a bad day". Denial is a powerful tool for mental health, apply judiciously. I get that everyone on earth is kinda having a shitty year but it feels like things just kinda escalated in my little corner

The 7th had a huge snow storm that brought traffic to a stand still. No one could leave the house and university class was online anyway. Batshit customer demanded to pick up her gear anyway. I drove in because I was the only person with keys to the shop that could get to the building. It took me a solid 2 hours going 15mph on the highway. The snow in the parking lot was up past the fenders of my truck. Crazy lady gets 10 out of 18 of her survival suits back but the other 8 still have holes in them because our only repair tech is also the only one who answers the phone or runs the computer or handles customers or cleans or disinfects anything or stores gear. I'll give you one guess who that person is.

Did you guess me? Good for you. Fun fact this was not the case in October.

Crazy lady swans off through the snowed in parking lot and because she cant find the exit, blasts straight through the ditch and onto the road.

I say fuck it and leave. I've been at work for 2 hours. I have made 24 dollars for my trouble. It takes me another hour to get home.

The 8th is Saturday and I'm supposed to be at work. No one can drive. There was another 10 8nches of snow last night. I say fuck work and go to dig out the plow truck. The canopy over the plow truck collapses as I walk out to clear the snow of it.

I do not scream.

My partner and I get the truck running and go plow people out of their driveways and then go do the shop.

We come back home and the heater doesn't work. We just spent most of last week frantically trying to limp the thing along because no heat at -20°F is in a word fucking unpleasant. At least now its 40 degrees warmer because if the snowstorm. We take it apart again. The house smells like diesel. The house smells like exhaust. The house is not cold because the wood stove can keep up at 20 above zero but it won't keep us through the winter.

There is no saving the oil heater. We need a new one.

Its 730 and neither of us have eaten. I start rice in the pressure cooker so I can throw a tasty bite on top and call it dinner and that dies too. Explosively.

Dinner is half cooked rice and microwaved curry.

Sunday is spent finding a way to stretch our increasingly thin budget to buy a new heater. Between us we actually have 2275$ and we will still cover the mortgage. Somehow. All our Christmas gifts will be hand made this year. The next thing that breaks will stay broken.

Monday, power outages due to snow storm. No wifi, no zoom meetings. Another 8 inches of snow. This is now more snow than my city gets for the full year.

My boss calls sobbing. The dog died. Joey, an 11 year old, 130lb mastiff with a tumor the size of a football on his liver has been her constant companion for at least 8 years. The pandemic has confused the bejesus out of him because while he loves the lock down and going out to play every hour or so he doesnt really like the concept of strangers in masks. Hes a guard dog and doesnt understand that men in masks coming into the shop are not here to kill mom they're wearing masks so they don't kill mom.

Mondays the shop is closed anyway and I spend it installing the new heater. It doesn't quite fit in the space the old heater came out of but its warm.

Tuesday, I go to work, everyone cancels class, I once again gently explain to a regular that eugenics is bad. I would like to curse him out. I cant. He drops a grand on scuba gear and leaves, talking about how great his trip to Mexico will be.

I do not scream.

A friend calls to ask how I'm doing. Not great. Yea, her niether. She asks if I want to go out to the backcountry with her over the weekend. I explain that my leg physically does not move and I'm downing copious amounts of advil to remain upright. The doctor sent me in for an MRI but has not yet called back. Plus I'm supposed to go to Valdez for the weekend and actually go diving. That I can do with limited use of my leg.

She says yikes, take it easy, take care of yourself, I love you.

I say, yikes, I'm tired of taking it easy, I wanna play, I love you too.

Hit me up if your plans open up and we can do something gentle on your leg. She says.

God yes. The cold woods away from people sounds like paradise. I dont even care that it will cause me rending physical pain to get there. I need a break.

Its Wednesday. I go to school. I get pulled over. Miraculously I dont get a ticket. I'm white female and conventionaly attractive, maybe not so miraculous. I rolled through a stop sign but I'm pretty sure I couldn't afford a ticket.

I get a text in class. One of the instructors who works with the dive shop has tested positive for covid. I haven't seen the man in 2 months. I needed a spare instructor but he was nowhere to be found. But hey, evidently that's a good thing.

I go to work. I vacillate between doing the job a 4 people and having nothing to do.

I go to the grocery store because I misjudged my last monthly grocery run and even though I'm increasing my exposure I'm out of cheese and tea damnit.

The store is packed. Pandemic who?

My partner and I haven't had a date nite in a while and this week has been shitty. I want a nice dinner. I pick up a couple boxes of the carton sushi which isnt terrible and is about as nice as I can justify on the new budget. I grab a gallon of milk and a few other things. I forgot my wallet in the truck and the cashier is chill and sets my stuff aside while I grab it.

I pay and take my stuff home and realize I left one of my bags at the store. No cheese or tea for me.

Thursday. 10am my phone goes off with an emergency alert. The govoner has grown a spine in light of recent elections and is instituting a voluntary lock down. My state has 500 new cases a day. That might not sound like a lot but theres only 300,000 people in Alaska and we've got poor medical infrastructure.

Unfortunately Alaska is full of Alaskans and nobody can tell us what to do. Nothing changes. 7pm rolls around and I'm teaching scuba classes in the pool.

I load a few hundred pounds of scuba gear into the back of my truck. In a wet wetsuit. In the snow. In a fabric facemask. 6 feet apart. In the pool.

I dont get paid for pool time.

Over the summer we had 6 dive masters including me, all big burly dudes, much better suited to picking things up. Its November and I'm the only one.

The kids I'm teaching are going to Hawaii. They're 10 and 13 and so wildly excited about breathing underwater its beautiful to watch. And they're traveling to an island. In a pandemic.

Friday.

Unload scuba gear so it doesnt get stolen out of the back of my truck while I'm at class. Were doing a make up lab today. Hey of the five student in my class only one of us has covid so theres that.

My boss calls an let's me know that shes left for Valdez without me. If I'd like to make an 8 hour drive by myself in a snowstorm I'm welcome to follow.

I'm in class till an hour before shop closing. I'm not driving across town so I can run on the open sign for half an hour.

The shop stays closed on Friday.

Saturday.

I explained to everyone we had business with that the shop would be closed over the weekend and Friday. I planned on being in Valdez. Hell I canceled plans to be in Valdez.

I open the shop and immediately field calls about why we werent open. I start to explain about the Valdez trip and logistical difficulties and then I realize that shes not mad about that. The woman was here before I opened early this morning. We have never been open that early. The hours are on the door.

A regular comes in. Hes also confused as to why I'm here.

Sunday finds me curled up in bed, reluctant to leave. Getting out of bed has not played out well for me recently.

A friend comes over to chat with my partner about specialist rifle parts. This isnt that wierd, he works at a gun shop and they've been discussing upgrading my partners current rifle set up.

He is wearing a full Scottish kilt. Red tartan. Looks very lovely.

I make zucchini bread and my proportions are a little off because I have too much zucchini so it's a little over moist but it's good. I'm recovering from an asskicker of a week and next week will be better.

Monday morning:

Baby brother has covid

Dads getting the results of his rapid test tonight.

Mom isnt getting tested because she says she doesnt have symptoms but that's not the fucking point mom.

So, I'm not going home for thanksgiving. I'm not diving in Valdez. I'm not skiing backcountry.

I'm not sick. I'm not flat broke yet. I dont have a ticket. I have a job. I have people who care about me. Im managing my physical and mental health as best I can. Im just fucking exhausted.

dating minho

⤷ mr lee know about vroom vroom right into y’all’s hearts

how you guys start dating

you and minho meet by chance, it’s quite funny actually

so he’s taking one of his usual walks by the han river and you happen to be there just enjoying the serenity of the area after picnicking with your friends

what happens is that you and your friends decide you wanna be childish and play tag

because despite you guys being grown you have the mindset of five year olds

anyway you guys are running, playing, laughing and your dumbass is just having the time of your life trying to catch your friends

that being said you weren’t looking where you were going and you run right into some dude

that some dude turns out to be MINHO

and you’re just like “fuck sorry”

your brain is a mess okay, sorry you just ran right into a hot dude??? the only logical thing to do is to hddhjdsksk

now minho for one doesn't know what to do because if it were anyone else he would probably like shout at them on first instinct

but he didn't with you

maybe his heart softened because you somehow looked adorable in your frantic apologetic state

so he flashed his minho, award winning smile and told you not to worry about it

you felt bad, though because you hit into him pretty hard

and minho senses this because he ! is ! minho ! so he tells you not to worry

and you’re like okay,,,, if you say so,,

but that's not the last meeting between you two

so you end up meeting again by chance but the setting is a bit more formal

it’s at a café and minho is out with the guys

so he's in the line and you’re right behind and guess what???

you accidentally stand on the back of his shoe like geez y/n

and he turns around like WTf but he recognises you

the one who knocked him right over at the han river a few days ago

“you!”

you both go at the same time and it’s like that moment

like déjà vu hello

fate is that you??

so anyways the line is long and you two end up talking a bit and like the boys are getting whining but he doesn't care because you're actually quite interesting

you apologise AGAin for the incident at the han river because ugh

but of course he's like it's fine shhh

he finally gets to the top of the line and gets the drinks for the boys but he comes back over to you

but just slips you his number with a wink

and you die inside just a ᵗᶦⁿʸ ᵇᶦᵗ

now you two become such good friends from there on because minho just finds it so easy to talk to you

he doesn't have to be looking for a way to start a conversation

yes all the boys know about you, minho's little friend

and when he finally starts to realise he's lowkey crushing

he tries to stop it but unfortunately that just doesnt work out

pls everytime he gets a text from you he's a smiling mess

he's just really happy okay

the boys are like ohHohO

insert eyebrow wiggle

and they catch on to this lil crush that minho has on you

woojin is the main one trying to get him to confess but he's that typical "i don't wanna ruin our friendship kind of guy"

but after a little- lot more pestering from the boys he goes for it

it's when you ask him to come over and watch a movie with you

and while you guys are on the couch, his heart is just beating so fast then he's like

fUCK IT

and just "y/n i like you, i like you so much. would you be mine?"

he just couldn't take it anymore

your heart stops???

but there begins the minho x y/n fairy tale

minho as a boyfriend

ugh !! this boy has THE biggest soft spot for you like girl consider yourself extra special

you would never catch him getting this mushy over anyone, even jisung

usually people are shocked when they see how minho acts around you because he treats you like a porcelain doll and he’s just so protective of you??

like that’s not the minho they know, not the one that bullies them

okay so now that i’ve said that, he may be soft for you but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s minho

like for dates for example, he’s a lazy boy i’m sorry so he’s gonna prefer to stay at home and just watch movies

with you there to comfort him

big, super planned out dates are not his thing

he would most definietly love anime dates

because this boy loves !! anime

pls he's gonna have his head on your lap and you're gonna be absently playing with his hair

while he intensely watches

and shhhh

you're absolutely not allowed to talk while it's showing

but discussing the plot in the end is a must, he has a lot to critique

he also would like those quiet times that you guys have together where you kinda just enjoy each other’s presence

he likes reading so he will wanna do a book rec and like whenever you read anything he recommends his heart will just bURsT

just akshhskls his baby is reading what he recommended !!!

he loves teasing you pls that’s just the dynamics of your relationship

he lives for your smiles okay so when you roll your eyes and giggle at him, his heart warms

the two of you live off of playfully "insulting" one another

which usually leads to playful fights

where someone's usually in a headlock, that person usually being you

he's a bit violent like that..

but that’s okay because you know what you signed up for getting into this relationship

jealous minho is quite interesting

because like he doesn’t wanna show that he’s super jealous so he’s trying so hard

but anyone that sees his face just knows that he is not !!!! having it

in situations where you notice, you just grab his hand and give it a tight squeeze or peck his lips just to let him know that no one’s gonna be stealing you from him

if he takes the initiative he won’t like go overboard but he’s gonna get protective of you

so expect a lot of affection from him and smug looks at whoever’s flirting with you

after the encounter he’s a puppy behind you

“y/n, you only love me right?”

“yes, of course minho”

ugh everyone’s like wtf? because minho is never ever ever like this with anyone

aNYONE i tell you

he appreciates you so so so much when you stay late at the studio waiting for him to finish up practice whether it be him practicing dancing, rapping or singing

he does not ever plan to tell you how adorable he thinks you are while watching him despite the exhaustion threatening to take you over

he also loves dancing with you even if you can’t dance he finds it adorable

like wow

even though you might trip and look like an absolute fool you’re still willing to dance with him

how did he get so lucky??

he is absolutely not that matchy matchy boyfriend though

and you guys are just not That Gross Couple™

no matter how much you beg him to match outfits

or take those gross couple photos

he will not !!

that’s not in minho’s boyfriend handbook

that being said this means that he is not big on pda

like sure he may kiss you and what not but sorry he gets real passionate and the boys do not want to see that

one time jeongin walked in on one of your um sessions

NO I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT S*X YOU NASTY

just a make out session that was pretty damn heated

the poor baby’s eyes were scarred

like minho is just so rough and passionate, it leaves you breathless every single time

he likes to have his hands in your hair, on your waist or grabbing your butt

and the kisses usually start off moderately paced but once you get into it there’s no going back

there’s almost always tongue and he’s usually in control

he lives for neck kisses, jawline kisses and collarbone kisses

he also likes to mark you because he just loves the fact that you’re his and these marks just make it known to the whole entire world

he can be pretty soft when it comes to kisses too but he doesn’t really like peck your lips

or give those short, meaningless kisses

when he kisses it’s either all or none

BYE I’M SCREECHING

i’m not gonna lie to you he can cook so well and you know it

but he fakes being a big fat mess in the kitchen so that you would come help him

look minho’s just a big baby in a “manly” body

he likes to do that cliché thing where he back hugs you in the kitchen

like please minho we get it

also i’m sorry but you literally cannot go anywhere with him that involves packing clothes

because ? him ? and ? his bundles ?

he’s very passionate about his bundles and listen he’s gonna want to rope you into it too, basically packing your clothes for you in bundles

you’re like “minho PleASe, this is not the 18th century”

and he just goes, “bundles are more effective”

cue your eye roll

but it’s all in good fun, if his bundles make him happy you’re more than willing to accept it

hey, he’s the love of your life

when it comes to fights or being angry at each other it doesn’t happen that often

but he’s a tricky puzzle because he doesn’t voice his anger or whatever

actually he’s really good at bottling up his emotions (which isn’t good but you’ve worked around it and figured out how to get him to open up)

he’s an avid user of the silent treatment

dun dun dunnnn

and you absolutely cannot stand it so you usually are the first to crack in arguments

lemme tell you, he loves you yes he does

but he knows how to stand his ground

so you end up trying to get him to talk to you and just get to fixing the problem at hand

but it always ends in good cuddles so the tension doesn’t last long

OH and cuddling

ahhhh minho actually really loves cuddling and having conversations whether they’re deep or goofy

usually y’all cuddle on your lazy dates

he likes you to lie your head on his chest while his hand is wrapped around your waist

and you two can talk for hours

your relationship with minho in general is just very playful

with your soft moments ofc

and it just makes it super hard for anyone to not ship it

get you a man like lee know ;)

BTS Imagine: Insecure - Hoseok

You exhale in relief as you kick off your heels inside the door of the apartment: work had been kicking your butt lately and you were excited for the weekend. A whole 2 days of absolutely nothing except hanging out with your boyfriend and NOT thinking about work. You rub the back of your neck. “Hobi?” “In here,” he calls from the bedroom. You smile automatically as you pull off your least-favorite work blazer; you hadn’t realized until just this moment how much you’ve missed him. Your schedules seemed so out of sync lately, to the point where you’d had to turn down his dinner invitation a few times; you’d even missed accompanying him to a music-show taping. In the 7 months the two of you had been together, you hadn’t ever missed even one. He’s sitting cross-legged on the bed, his computer in front of him, in comfy joggers and his favorite hole-y hoodie. He smiles up at you. “Hi angel,” he says brightly. “How are you?” “So tired,” you groaned, flopping onto the bed. He immediately adjusts so you can rest your head against his thigh, one of his hands going to stroke your hair automatically. “Why do I keep going back to that place??” He makes a soft, pitying clucking sound. “Because you love it. Usually.” You sigh at his reminder and curl into a ball, closing your eyes tight as if that can make his rational statement evaporate. “I guess. But now I have the whole weekend off—-2 whole days without having to worry about deadlines or anything else!” “That’s good. What do you want to do with all your time off?” “Sleep and eat and watch dumb TV shows and sleep some more!” You open your eyes when he only makes a quiet ‘hmm’ in response. You roll over to look up at him. “What about you? How was your day?” He shrugs and looks away from you for the first time. “It was fine. Nothing special.” You trace the pattern of the logo on his joggers. “Well how about your week? I feel like I haven’t seen you in forever. How was the taping?” “Good! You know how much we like going on that show—always an experience.” “Oh yeah?” you ask, hungry for information. “What happened this time?” He lifts one shoulder in another half-shrug. “Oh, you know, we made our way through it. I only had to yell at Jin-hyung once.” You hesitate. It was an answer, but not a real one: you both knew that Hoseok didn’t have to yell at Jin very much anymore. It was clearly a joke, an old one that you hadn’t heard for a long time. “Oh…” you say more slowly. “Nothing else? That host was so rude to you guys last time!” “Yeah, that was crazy,” he says. “But, you know, it was good. Nothing we can’t handle!” This makes you frown. “So you’re saying he suddenly got a million times more respectful? Because—” “It really was fine, angel,” he interrupts you. “What do you want for dinner? Are you hungry? I think some of the guys might be doing pizza night at Jimin’s, if you want?” You sat up abruptly, knocking his hand away from your hair as you did. “Pizza night with the guys?” you repeat. Something is wrong. The two of you hadn’t been able to hang out alone for the last week, and he’s offering up pizza night with the guys? You look at him carefully. “Sweetie? Everything okay?” He doesn’t lose his pleasant expression and that’s when it hits you in the gut: this was the old Hoseok, the one from your first and second and third dates, the one who wasn’t sure how much to trust you, the one who held back from revealing too much, who kept it light and shied away from anything too real. This wasn’t your Hoseok, this was J-Hope, noted sunshine and happy virus from the most popular boy band in the world. The realization stings. “Hoseok…” you say slowly. “I’m really sorry I missed the taping. I wanted to be there, you know I did, I just…my stupid partner at work made another dumb mistake and so I had to fix his mess. I really am sorry.” He smiles (again) and shrugs (again). “It’s really okay.” He reaches out to close his laptop. “So, what do you think about dinner? We could also go to the ramen place on the corner.” The busiest and loudest restaurant in the neighborhood. You swallow down your hurt, trying to figure out what could have happened to make him react like this. “Do you not want to be alone with me?” The blunt question rushes out of your mouth in one breath, the words slurring together. “What??” he blinks in astonishment, but unfortunately for him, you’ve grown too accustomed to his for-the-camera reactions. “Why would you say that? I’m just feeling like some tasty ramen, that’s all.” You stare him down, waiting for him to break. When he doesn’t, you say, “You guys are filming the new dance practice video on Sunday, aren’t you? How is it going?” “Oh.” He can’t maintain eye contact. “It’s fine. Great, I mean, you should see the outfit Tae is planning to wear!” “So you’re not worried about how sloppy the bridge looks anymore?” “Nah.” He brushes it off with a grin. “We’ll make it work—we always do!” Another idol-ism. You grind your back teeth in frustration, then go in for the kill. “I was talking to Yoongi yesterday: he said you strained your shoulder during the taping. Is it okay?” “Of c—” “Knock it off.” You couldn’t take it anymore. “What is the matter??” He shifts uncomfortably; you notice that he doesn’t move the strained shoulder very much. “Nothing, angel, I—” “You’re lying to me,” you accuse. “You haven’t answered any of my questions. This isn’t a real conversation, this is–this is—” You can’t find the right words, so you go for the easiest ones. “This is you being an Idol instead of a boyfriend.” He looks hurt, but can’t actually deny it. “I—” The edges of his mask start to crack, and in-between the lines you see the real him. You feel some of your frustration disappear when you see the hurt in his face. You duck your head to catch his eyes, and reach out for him; when your hand lands gently on his shoulder, he winces, and you lean forward automatically. “Hobi,” you say softly. “What is going on?” You move your hand to touch the side of his face and feel him break. His face crumples. “You don’t love me anymore,” he breathes. “Excuse me?” You feel your jaw drop slightly. “How exactly did you come up with that?” He shrugs—you notice that it’s the uninjured shoulder that moves—and the first little tear escapes. “I don’t–I don’t know. You’ve just been gone so much, and I-I know how nice you are, angel, you’d never want to hurt anybody, so I figured…I figured you were just letting me down easy, slowly distancing yourself because you don’t love me anymore, and I just, I didn’t know what to do.” You take this in slowly: this week must have been even harder for him that you had realized. Between the shoulder injury, the uncomfortable taping, the time spent apart, and the pressures of the job, he had obviously been running himself down and was now at the end of his energy. You felt bad that you hadn’t seen it sooner. Taking a small breath, you lean in and press your lips gently, but firmly, against his cheek. “Okay,” you say as you straighten. “Lay down, sweetheart.” He looks over at you in surprise. “Go on,” you encourage, scooting off the bed and putting his computer away for him. “Make sure your shoulder is comfortable.” You give him a look until he follows your instructions, then hurry down the hall to get a heating pad. You wait impatiently while the microwave does its job, every part of you itching to go back to him. When it’s finally done, you go back to the room to find him sitting back against a mountain of pillows, his shoulder supported carefully. You climb onto the bed next to him and set the heating pad gently against his shoulder, wincing with him empathetically. “So,” you say softly, brushing his hair out of his face. “You’ve had a rough week, huh?” He doesn’t answer, still trying to pull himself together. You sigh and lean in to kiss him. His eyes close slowly. You smile as you feel his arm wrap around you to hold you in place. After a long moment, you pull away and brush through his hair again. “You really think I don’t love you?” Before he can answer, you add, “I’m really sorry I haven’t been around lately. It killed me not to be at the taping, and I’m so sorry you hurt your shoulder.” You readjust the heating pad. “I love you, angel,” he says quietly, his hand still resting on your lower back. “I don’t know why I got so crazy, I just….” “I think you’ve had a long week,” you reassure him. “And…this is the first week we’ve spent completely apart, so maybe this was good.” He scoffs under his breath and you smile. “Okay, not good, but we survived it, right?” He tugs you down next to him, curling his arm around you. “Barely,” he admits, turning to kiss the side of your head. You feel him wince again as the movement hurts his shoulder. “For the record,” you say after a second, “One of the best moments of my life so far was when you started opening up to me, when I became your best friend, when I fell in love with you. So when you shut down like that….” “I’m sorry,” he says immediately. “You are my very best friend,” he adds earnestly. “And I love you more than anything. I’ll be better from here on out.” You shake your head. “You don’t have to be “better”–just be you.” He rests his head against yours, content and relaxed again. “Promise.”

First off Ellirijan wants to celebrate my recent promotion with a huge party… That I’m not invited to, screw that!

Next, I head off to Bravil, where Gever asks me to banish a spectral warrior.

Finishing off my check-in with the Guild Guides I stop off at Cheydinhal where Frondre informs me of a theft by a Daedra Seducer. We will need to return it before any Daedric involvement is uncovered, for the good of the guild of course

I also ask Frondre for an interview regarding his race, to which he proceeds to brag about the Mazken and Sheogorath’s appreciation of free will.

Following Frondre’s directions I find Tanaark, an image of a Daedra Seducer, collecting debts for various Daedra Princes…. sadly he is not interested in leaving this life to join the Stranded Light.

I agree to help him collect a few debts, just so long as they aren’t too evil… taking a soul gem from outside a ruin doesnt sound very bad.

I try to take the stolen diamond off of the table, but it doesn’t go according to plan. Tanaark claims they stole the diamond first, and the diamond is protected with a curse. So I use my lore knowledge to show him I fear no curse.

I take the diamond, causing an angry dremora to summon forth, but a quick bit of invisibility and backstab puts a stop to that.

I try to speak with the IC guild guide, but she has nothing new to offer me. Instead I check with Tyrru about the riddle he gave me earlier… Hmm, a river, and a lake with a “silver veil”

Hmmm, it couldn’t be “Silver Fish” river, could it!? I’ll check later, for now I’ve got more pressing tasks to finish

with the help of a summoned saint, and some random nearby mud crabs the spectral warrior outside the 19 Voids is banished… hopefully Gever doesn’t mind that we asked a member of the matriarchy for help.

I feel a bit tired, and the 19 Voids has that big bed in the middle of the room, a small nap shouldn’t hurt

I awaken to water in my lungs and a burning sensation all over, I desperately swim to the surface. The 19 Voids emerges on the horizon, as I breach the surface of the water the burning pain only becomes more intense and I struggle to make out the way ahead.

Turumerin is surprised to see me return, most of her playthings expire shortly after she’s done with them, or they are driven mad by the experience. This must be what happened to Narelya. “Fortunately” I was not awake for her “fun.”

Turumerin shows no guilt, or remorse for her actions, but she does offer to alleviate the damage with a staff she once used to help keep her victims alive longer… unfortunately it was stolen by a certain mage looking for a book.

Arriasha is found in Bliss, and still as crazy as ever. she feared being caught with the staff, so she broke it in two and hid it. In Bliss the staff was easily found above a bedroll

The Crucible piece requires a bit of acrobatics, I jump from the dueling grounds to a nearby roof and locate the 2nd half of the staff. the pain still rages deep inside me, but still I can’t help but wonder if helping this monster is the right thing to do.

I resolve to think further upon the issue, and remember that the shroom growing for the Disciples of the Moment should be finished now. I bear with the pain for now and head off to Zendria

Inside the shroom I find Uriel Curio, an Ohmes jokingly named after the emperor. Longius assures me that he belongs there, and gives some shocking insight regarding Suthay offspring, Uriel’s mother was a Senche?!? How does one- who would even— These Curios are a strange family.

Now that the Shroom is here Thollorn is ready for some new projects. He wants to observe me brutalizing some wild beasts down South at fort Snow Moth. I’m not really feeling up to it right now, though.

I teleport to Merendin to consult with the guild about my ailments. Karashivuel offers a potion with its own negative side effects, and Ahtize offers a spell to heal the effects.* Teshekru is familiar with these markings, and offers to help. We have grown somewhat close, and she does appear to be of a different sort than her other brethren… I should know, being one myself after all. I trust her to help, and after removing the taint inside, the searing pain slowly subsides and my surroundings finally stop spinning. * Kara and Ahtize parts not in video

I’ve made my decision, Turumerin is murderous monster, but there is no stopping her, so long as she remains in her “pocket realm” at the 19 Voids. Only thing to do is warn others, and those that do fall in her trap at least deserve some chance at survival. With a heavy heart, and shiver down my spine I return to the 19 Voids, and turn over the staff. Turumerin is as cheerful as ever and offers me a useless trinket and a “love letter.” I burn the letter, and head off to reclaim my items from Swampagas Hole.

Beauregard Ghast: the Ghost Host

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT. Dr. Zeus is a power hungry mad biochem scientist hell bent on world domination. He believes that since the world is burning up that he shall be its savior; unfortunately thaat plan involves killing millions of innocent people.

Dr. Metis was a fresh biochem graduate and fell in love with him before she knew of his evil tendencies. She got pregnant and had twins: Athena and Ares. Zeus was angry and lashed out at her at the news imploring she gets rid of them, but Metis wanted them and when they where born Zeus forged her signature to give up the babies and she dissapeared without a trace. Its unknown where is she today.

Ares grew up in a abusive orphanage while Athena was adopted into a life of luxury. But it didn't made her happy. Her adoptive father and mother was neglectful to her and her little bro, Timmy. George really just wanted the people of colors' votes.

EMOTIONAL ROLE. submissive | dominant | switch PREFERRED SEXUAL ROLE. submissive | dominant | switch

LIBIDO. High. Really high. I mean... To the moon high...

TURN ONS. Sensitivity, hugs, impressing her with extensive knowledge. Telling her that she's yours and yours alone, Role playing that she's your slave with safety words. (Trying to keep it kinda pg), Any roleplaying with safety words, exploding stuff in a lab. Finding a new piece of scientific knowledge. Mutual pleasure

TURN OFFS. Lies, breaking a promise, not making sure she's all right with anything, the partner isn't having any fun, hurting her sensitive areas. Mentioning her scars.

LOVE LANGUAGE. Introverted and shy, she's not an easy one to get close to. She has walls and barriers around herself, but once she trusts you and has fallen in love. She loves you to death and will protect you fiercely. She makes sure you're all right before herself, even if its not good for her. She's very cuddly and will hug, kiss, and cuddle you as much as you want. She does want your attention though and will squeeze her way near you to get it. She's a little yandere-ish but not psycho and will give you some space. But its the obsessive clingy behavior that makes her in the catagory. Tootie from the fairly odd parents is the best example.

RELATIONSHIP TENDENCIES. She's a little yandere-ish to everyone she loves so she always wants to spend time with them and will over protect them. This is due to her neglectful parents emotionally abusing Timmy and especially, the death of Pallas. But she can be reasoned with and she will try to control her anxiety. She apologizes constantly and doesnt want to harm anyone so she makes sure everyone is alright. Other times She's a little distant but only cause she thinks you need space.

𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬 ! CHARACTER’S THEME SONG. 'Lucky Orb ft. Hatsune Miku' or 'Contact by Daft Punk' couldn't pick

HOBBIES TO PASS TIME. In the lab doing science s***, or in her room doing homework. Or She's all over the mansion exploring, taking samples, trying to figure out that interdimentional staircase, in the pool. Gazing at the organist from afar. Playing with Pallas. Riding her motorcycle. Binge eating food, scowling Ebay for Hatsune Miku figures and stuff. And then passing out, sleeping for hours after doing all of that for 2 days straight.

MENTAL ILLNESSES. Depression and anxiety.

PHYSICAL ILLNESSES. None

LEFT OR RIGHT BRAINED: Left brained. But does lean a little to the right.

PHOBIAS. Insectiphobia and Arachniphobia... Just all bugs... Fears that her loved ones will get hurt by her hands or by something else she could've protected them from. Fears that She's useless and crazy.

SELF CONFIDENCE LEVEL. Off and on. Some cases she knows something is going to work and is proud. Other cases she thinks she's going to fail and that she'll get yelled at again. She's working on it though. Learning how to fail, why its ok to make mistakes, that betrayal isn't the end of the world. That yes bad things happen but good things will too.

VULNERABILITIES. Physically: Her sparks can give her location even when invisble. She hasn't figured out how to control them yet. They can also catch something else on fire and electrocute somebody else. If its bad you can smell her burning.

Weak knees... Go for her legs.

Emotionally: Go for the guilt trip. She can easily be made to think something is her fault. She can also be manipulated into thinking 'rationally' and may end up doing a henious act when she thought she was doing good. Easily pressured to do anything you want especially if it will 'help' people.
