Hello hello 🫂 how are you? I hope you're well! This is my first time request 🏃 feel free to ignore
I was thinking that reader just bought a house and now having troubles with paying the electric bill and water bill they couldn't even prepare a proper meal for themselves, so the reader decided to put on a website open one spot for a roommate with a condition of course. Here where Aventurine found the website and saw who it was.. the person who helped him once, would they remember him anyway? and Aventurine decided to sign up and meet the reader at reader place, discussing about the agreement and spilt who was paying the bill. not Aventurine mind he decided to pay full bill and buy groceries anyway stlas of course he got scolded
Eventually they got close,, close friends even.. reader started taking interest into Aventurine liking, well reader doesn't know he's a gambler ((or is he?)) Overtime,, Aventurine started to become more touchy, well reader doesn't mind it since they adore love affection,, well sometimes they got flustered when Aventurine touch becomes more bold ((yk what I mean?)) Not until they got pinned down OR Aventurine the one got pinned down?
This is too long hhh I love your HC Aventurine 🫂 (it's yummy) have a good day!
Hello!! Thank you so much, I hope I got it right since I wasn't sure if I should make in into a modern au or make it canon compliant (spoiler I've ended up with the second option)
being roommates with Aventurine

notes - gn!reader, fluffy, hurt/comfort (sort of?), no beta
Considering Aven's leaked story, it'd pretty much canon that Aventurine doesn't forger people who helped him at least once. Which is not that surprising, when you think of it. Not many people were kind enough to land him a hand without expecting something in return.
He found the website by pure coincidence. Another case of his luck working in mysterious ways.
He recognizes your face immediately. Like, almost embarrassingly fast.
But, you know, whatever, not like you remember him, right? He sends you a random sum of money as a thank you for helping him in the past, not elaborating on who he is and why he's paying you. Scared you shitless I bet. But other than that, he doesn't see any need to reach out.
Except he just can't stop thinking about this add.
He never had comfortable living conditions before he joined the IPC. It would be a huge luck for him and his sister to have something soft to sleep on. And after he lost her, after he was shackled, caged, stripped of his pride... Well, not the memories he likes to go back to.
Now he has a huge apartment and a comfortable bed, a privilege to sleep under a warm blanket. Yet he has no one who would be there for him to distract him after a nightmare, no one to make this place feel like a home. It's a beautiful golden cage, nothing more.
Meeting you to talk about your add was a whim. Something to do for fun, really. A way to distract himself. Maybe he'll just see how are you are doing. Maybe you'll remember him.
Well, you don't. He signs the arrangement anyway, mentally beating himself up for it. Stupid. Pathetic.
But... you really look the same. Like you didn't change one bit since the day you showed him that small amount of kindness.
He'll just pay off his debt. That what he tells himself. He doesn't even have to live with you, just pay his half of the bills for some time. He may be a cunning businessman but hey, he has a reputation to uphold (at least for his own sake, since you have no idea about the mental gymnastics he's doing), he can't just let his benefactor starve!
Also, it's a bit funny to look at your reactions. You may not knows he's one of the Ten Stonehearts but you're not stupid, it's obvious he's not the last person in the IPC. Why would a guy like him need a roommate??? Also, he lies to you that the money you received earlier were just a prepayment, he just forgot to elaborate when he sent it. Shady. How tf did he learn you card information to send you the money. What a weird guy. Up to no good, it seems.
He can't help but laugh in amusement, seeing you squirm. But hey, not like you have a lot of options, right? You gotta take him in~
At first he doesn't plan on staying at your place, like, at all. Maybe once or twice a month so you wouldn't freak out about his "suspicious" absents.
But... You're fun. Fun to be around, fun to tease. You recognize his Sigonian eyes but you don't say anything. You don't try to get into his personal space but you also seem to be sensitive to his subtle mood changes. You don't try to be overly nice and don't ask for his money, his luck, nothing of sorts. It's the bare minimum, even lower than the bare minimum, it's just basic human decency yet it makes him feel warm.
Like, look at his and Ratio's relationship in canon. Ratio may not be the nicest and the most polite person but he treats Aventurine with respect and look at how Aventurine behaves around him. He's more relaxed and playful, genuinely lookin for some kind friendly companionship. So like I'm 100% sure that despite his "ohhh you can use and betray me," approach this man is such a sucker for any sort of sincerity. He's just friendless and miserable let me bite him.
So anyway, he sticks around far more often than he planed. Even if he has every right to do so as your literal roommate, he still feels like compensating it by paying for all of your bills, just because he can. Maybe it will make you happy with him, maybe you'll start needing him, maybe you'll be happy with him staying by your side.
Well. He gets scolded. Apparently, being roommates doesn't work like that. He refuse your attempts to pay him off your part off the bills though.
"You can make it up to me some other way. For instance... Let's play a game, shall we?"
He is knows for making the situation favorable for himself, after all.
Just like that, you slowly get closer. He teaches you to play card games, even offers to take you to the casino with him. Jokingly, of course. There are a lot of dangerous people who want him gone there, after all.
His heart flatters every time when you take the initiative to know him better.
"Soon enough you'll master me in this, dear" he says playfully, his hand brushing against yours as he takes the cards from you.
Aeons, the touches. Touches! He never took a notice of how him and his sister would accidentally brush against each other when they were still by each other's side. It was natural, after all. After her death, he didn't have anyone to be close with, no one to relax around. And now he has you. You're not family, he's not even sure if he can call you a friend (what is friendship anyway?? he can playfully call you his friend here and there but if he would call you this with all seriousness, would you run? would you pull away? stupid, stupid, unreasonable thoughts). So with this unclear relationship, how can he handle the touches when there are so many of them? Most of them are casual, accidental. Yet he can't just simply ignore them. Even if you can... (local gambler finds out not everyone is as touch-starved as him more at eleven).
He does the only thing he knows. Tries to be bolder. It's a risk, sure, you may easily push him away. But we all know he's a gambler and a great one too.
Anyway, you don't push him away and he's lost because, apparently, you don't mind him clinging to your side and whining when he's tired. And you don't mind him hugging your arm when he teaches you another card game. And you don't mind him hugging you from behind when you cook something for both of you. Btw him discovering the comfort of living together with someone and sharing chores, getting used to each other's patterns and such is another huge thing but I'll run out of words soon so maybe I'll leave this for another time.
Okay back to the topic. You don't push him away even if he was secretly expecting just that. It's just too good to be true, no?
Well. You start being affectionate as well. Now what.
He can't just stop now, even if he feels like he should. It's all too new, to scarry. But it's so good. Leaning into your hand when you caress his hair, falling asleep on your shoulder. Your soft eyes on him. You waiting for him to come back home.
He gets even bolder, more touchy. You'll push him away soon enough and, at least, this sweet delusion will end. And before that, he at least can see your flustered expression when his cold fingers slide under your shirt, holding onto your waist.
"What exactly are you doing?" you ask him one day and he thinks that's it. You're fed up. You'll push him away now.
Instead you push him on the couch, pinning him down, looking at him with unreadable but intense gaze. Seems like it's his turn to get flustered.
"Oh? Did I cross a line, my dear?" he asks with a laugh that was supposed to be playful but ended up being shaky. Damn you and your charm, you make him too weak. And instead of being merciful, you just chuckle at his struggles!
Tease him back!!!!! Kiss his cheeks!!!! Or his lips!!! In this moment, he's all yours. You want to cuddle? He'll be happy to. You want something more intimate? He will oblige. Just let him know you want push him away no matter what.

hey hey its ya boy juni
alrighty so uhhh this isnt really meant to alarm people at all, but more to warn others in the near future ig (plus i kinda suck at explaining so bare with me alr?? thisll all be explained from my experience, so please feel free to add on!! dwjjhwjwq)
Tumblr media
okok so recently, there was this one miiblogger by the name of "IsaactheMii", who'd mostly post abt stuff like miitomo, miitopia, TL, etc etc.
so like. you may be thinking, "whar?? didn't isaac get deactivated??" thats exactly what im gonna cover dude!! this is to get some confusion out of the way :-D
recently, i made a post abt like, if you give a hc to my mii, i'll hc yours, and isaac decided to participate,, in a way that wasn't so uhhh sfw in a way?? heres one example lmao
Tumblr media
i really don't think he was tryna be like, creepy in a way, or at least thats what i think?? idk idk but it kinda made me and the other dudes of miiblr uncomfortable, and just really, he'd always portray my mii as a bully and say sum transphobic stuff about him,, and this snapshot is just A PEBBLE compared to these nexts chats,, so come suffer with me!! :*]
cringe up ahead watch out
alright so uhh lets move to the discord chats shall we!!! im gonna say like, about 2 months ago?? damn not even a month actually,, isaac joined the miicord server, and like. he did small stuff like, bashing others opinions and spamming stuff, to starting fights with other members,, (sadly i dont have proof cuz hes banned but majority of miiiblr should know know what i mean yeah??)
eventually, the drama got so bad, to where isaac deactivated his acc as a whole, about a day ago. making a shitty apology post saying that he "messed up" with me and another user, just kind of guilt tripping all of us, only to piss off the majority of miiblr more lmao
Tumblr media
eventually later, isaac got banned from miicord for whatever reason me thinks?? but i was told that he told everyone in there to oof themselves, which just led him to ban evading and making another account
Tumblr media
eventually he didnt even last a day,, not even an hour,, and he just said some pretty nasty uhhh
Tumblr media
stuff to miicord,,
Tumblr media
unfortunately, this is all the snapshots i could get from my brilliant pal in crime, @wii-no-ma on discord. but i think yall get my point,, isaac has done some pretty nasty stuff in the past, from saying the most toe curling, eye widening, jaw dropping shit, (ohhh man cut that out,, that aints funny) to just straight up sending death threats to people bruh
Tumblr media
anyway, thats all i really needed to post lol. obviously its nothing alarming to the point where miiblr is in danger and whatnot, but i decided to make this for future purposes in case isaac does decided to come back yk?? anyway this next bit is for isaac
Tumblr media
ay isaac, if youre uhh reading this,, youre like. always allowed to rejoin miiblr, just please dont expect us to like, welcome you back in open arms or anything yk?? what you did and said was like. really arrogant and immature, but we cant stop you from rejoining miiblr. may things go the way you want in the future and that you'll get the help that you need soon. cheers.
big thanks to @wii-no-ma and @evanorasworld for the snapshots :]

Hello author!! Congrats on 500 followers! I love the way you wrote "Plead the Fifth", Floyd's callback to the Portfest event was my favorite part. If its okay, can I pls request prompt 12 with Jade, Riddle, and Jamil? Thank you! 🫶💙
Tumblr media
12. You had a wonderful time dancing and flirting with someone at the ball, only to find out from your friends the next day that was your crush. And you have no idea if they knew it was you they were dancing with.
Bless you for catching that friend I was a bit worried no one would know what I was talking about. I thought it was so funny how offended they all got at being called adorable! other than Rook but yk
EDIT: I straight up did not realize I wrote this for Riddle twice oh my fucking god. I'm so sorry please feel free to message me with a separate request I am so sorry again my brain is fried.
notes: they/them used for Yuu. Severe violations of privacy and playing with emotions for Jade, and Jamil is fresh out of clown school, let us pray. I was listening to dancing with a stranger on loop while writing this so sorry if they're a bit angsty. The other event requests can be found on my masterlist here.
Tumblr media
Jade
"Look." Jade is smiling and Azul has a tension headache. "You see how they've played this particular song fourteen times today? They're going to try and switch things up and listen to something else after the sixteenth loop but-"
"What in the hell does this have to do with anything?" Azul asks to be charitable, he already knows what this is about. Or he thinks he does anyway.
"I was wondering if you would be so kind as to add it to the playlist for the Lounge. Just for tonight." There is a really strange tone to Jade's excitement, almost like he has no idea what he is doing and is just as thrilled by that as he was whatever brought him home in such a... state last night.
"Because if I don't you'll add it yourself and give Floyd back the password to the account?"
"I am so very glad we could reach a mutual understanding." Of course Jade has a plan, it had started formulating the instant he saw you dressed up for the formal Crowley had put together.
Boring. That's what this night was supposed to be. These masks were supposed to hide people's faces, sure but he knows them too well. Maybe if this was a different school where people were less predictable- But then there was you, and all his reason fell away.
"May I have this dance, stranger?" He is surprised you accept, delighted with how natural it feels to follow his lead. He was expecting this to be much, much harder.
"I was wondering when you were going to ask." You sound shy, flattered even, without the defensiveness he usually associates with the lead up to your trysts. Could it be- "I thought I felt someone watching me." -you do not know. The mask has worked for one lucky eel.
"Ah prefect," he greets you as usual, with a bow and a gesture to an empty seat "always so good to see you at the Mostro." This time he has selected a booth out of the way, towards the back and far too big for just one customer. Pity you hadn't brought those small fry with you, he was so looking forward to letting Floyd play with them. "Did you come here with something in mind? Or shall I make a suggestion?" You are so nervous you don't notice that he has failed to give you a menu until you finally bother to look up at him.
"I really just came here to talk..." how painful, you are looking away again. Jade is sure he is the best looking fish here, if you are that desperate to see him in the water he can certainly improvise.
"I am always willing to lend a sympathetic ear." He bends at the waist to hover his face just above yours, so close that you are force to return your eyes to his again. He watches as your pupils dilate and breath catches as the music in the lounge plucks a familiar song as if his magic lets him read minds.
"Go fuck yourself." It's missing the venom he'd like but as he traces your jawline with his gloved hand directly over the lipstick stains he'd left last night he thinks to himself that he is just fine with that. Jade is not in the mood to share your fire, it is such a rare thing for a mer to see after all.
"I would much prefer to leave that to you." He kisses you, quickly before you can fully ignite and waste your precious sparks on the public. "Funny story actually, I had such a nice time at the Masquerade last night I thought we should have ourselves another little date tonight. Do be gentle with me, I only had so much time to prepare." But waste or no he cannot deny himself the satisfied laugh that spills from him when you yank him back into a kiss and prevent him from running his mouth. Just what is he to do with you? Oh he has so many ideas...
Jamil
"Ha I thought I'd find you here." Jamil does his best to ignore Ace's voice, instead focusing on the hoop and sinking his throws into the net. Forty-One. "Aww not gonna ask any questions?" Forty-Two. "You know they talked to me. They always do." Forty-Three. "Said some reeeeeeal interesting stuff." Forty-Four. "Mushy too. Like seriously, you should both just get over yourselves and-"
Forty-Five. Jamil purposefully bounces the ball off the ground hard, not even bothering to watch Ace scramble to avoid it before shoves his face into his towel as if it can wipe away his embarrassment as well as his sweat.
"They are better off not knowing." He catches the ball Ace tries to hit him with, taking a little delight in how annoyed his junior looks before he realizes that it isn't going away as quickly as Ace's other pouts.
"Seriously? Where'd you get that idea from?" He sounds angry, Jamil has to remind himself and the seething pit in his stomach that Ace is Yuu's... friend. They are just friends who spend a lot of time alone. Alone together. Alone together inside a dormitory where Yuu live practically alone, a lot of times on nights when Jamil is alone in Scarabia with preparations for a party you aren't guaranteed to attend unlike those Unbirthday Party's Riddle has that you are at so much you might as well be part of his dorm.
Not that Jamil thinks about that a lot or is thinking about that at all when he gives Ace his best "superiority" complex smile.
"They were willing to make out with a stranger behind some thick curtains, clearly they don't have any strong feelings for anyone in the school and I would just be-"
"Has it ever occurred to you that you are responsible for this situation in the fucking first place." This isn't normal jokey Ace. Normal "girls just wanna have fun Ace," no this is Ace as serious as Jamil wishes he always would be during... anything at all really. Funny how that side only ever seems to come out when he needs to distract someone. Funny how the pit is screaming how it only ever comes up when he is talking about you. "You get close to them one day, then you insist you can't talk to them because you are too busy taking care of Kalim. You give take advantage of them not being from Twisted Wonderland to give them things anyone would recognize as being romantic gifts but roll your eyes at the idea when confronted. Seriously it is a miracle they still like you and didn't think to try getting over you sooner."
Yuu is kissing him. They have what they can grasp of his face in their hands and are kissing him so painfully slowly. It's too much to bear, he can't keep to his senses and denial. Jamil pulls them further behind the curtains and kisses them. For one brief incandescent moment he allows himself to believe this is fated. That if the masks were gone, that if you were under the Scarabia curtains you would be holding onto his shirt just as tightly.
"You told them didn't you?" Ace doesn't bother to actually answer, the footsteps echoing down the hallway as he goes to leave answers Jamil’s question for him.
You are always beautiful.  His breath catches in his throat when he sees you, the pit swallowing itself as he realizes the urgency to the speed at which you close the gap but pause just before making it into his personal space.
“Can we talk?”  Ace’s words from earlier echo in his mind.  Has it ever occurred to you that you are responsible for this?
“Of course.”  He purposefully places the basketball back onto the rack he had been using as an excuse to center himself.  “Would you let me take you to dinner?”
“No.”  You sound as if you hate yourself for saying it, but the instant it leaves your lips he smiles.  “No, I need you to tell me here because I can’t stand this stupid game of you taking your insecurities out on me.  Just what do I need to do for you to understand…”  Your nerve seems to be failing you now that he’s right in front of you.  But he isn’t cruel enough to make you wait.
“I like you.”  It’s not all of what you want to hear, and not all of what he wants to say.  But he’s in a sweaty gym uniform and you look like you’ve been crying.  Apologies are best made with food, and he loves you well enough to know your worry’s been eating at your apatite as much as it has his.

Actually more Drone kids hcs (feel free to add as a screenshot again)
This us specifically about teenagers/puberty bc they mention hormones in the show which is confusing af bc robots lol
- Teen drones have a command/like of code set to true that causes similar side effects to human teenagers being hormonal (mood swings etc)
- A drones "sex"/"agab" (they got nothing down there hence quotations) is part of their base code, meaning you cannot change it later on without corrupting the entire code which yeah not ideal to say the least
-> hence drones who identify as trans basically run a program/command similar to humans taking HRT that basically "overrides" the base code (not actually, if you stop running the command the effects would stop) to the opposite gender so when other drones scan them or something like that they show up as they preferred gender in a little info popup they get
-> since it's a command/program you get to input which "hormone" you want to use to override your code & can probably also input an extra box that adds an Identity label like nonbinary etc that would also pop up
I hc Uzi as Nonbinary and Thad as Trans Guy (bc yk testosterone joke) so here are examples how they show up as (Uzi doesn't run a HRT command but DOES run an Identity command in this example)
[ Name: Uzi Doorman
Age: (18-20 we don't know exact)
String_Gender: Female
String_Gender.ADDON_Identity: Nonbinary
Pronouns: She/Her
Home Planet: Copper-9
Parents: Khan Doorman, Nori Doorman]
(Insert whatever else you would deem important here, I kept her Pronouns canon complaint but hc her as she/they)
[ Name: Thad (insert surname)
Age: (18-20, same as Uzi)
String_Gender: Male {!}
Pronouns: He/Him
Home Planet: Copper 9
Parents: (insert parents here)]
The {!} Indicates that a command or program has been run, it doesn't necessarily mean the HRT command/program and can be caused by others so it doesn't necessarily out someone as trans if they don't use the Identity Addon!
Ok that's enough Robot "biology" for tonight lol have fun with these everyone

Overall, it was a very good show. Cinema, if you will. Well done, amazing performances by an incredible cast. HOWEVER: I can’t let some scenes in this last ep go unmentioned for show onlys + lowkey sad they were cut (SPOILERS ig)
1. “All I want,” I said, choking back my tears, “is to see my loving stepfather again. Every time I saw him on TV, calling me a delinquent punk, I knew…somehow…we would be okay. And I know he’ll want to reward each and every person in this beautiful city of Los Angeles with a free major appliance from his store.”
2. “You have made an enemy, godling,” he told me. “You have sealed your fate. Every time you raise your blade in battle, every time you hope for success, you will feel my curse. Beware, Perseus Jackson. Beware.” Would’ve been a nice bit of foreshadowing to titan’s curse
3. The exact move that Percy disarmed Luke in his first sword class. Mostly bc it would’ve made nice foreshadowing to their last fight too. That being said I LOVED how they made Luke and Percy’s relationship MUCH more personal. You can see Luke trying to recruit Percy to his cause and you see Percy agreeing and so does the viewer bc he’s right!! UNTIL we, and Percy, get to his methods. Bc that’s the fundamental difference between them!!
4. They could’ve made Gabe worse tbh , or at least told us how the whole Percy is a fugitive plotline ended; him being the one to accidentally open the box makes sense for the patheticity this iteration of the character exudes, and bc this sally is a lot more assertive, but would’ve been nice to see sally take some actual part in yk *draws finger across neck* him.
5. In that line of thought, “Your mother is a queen among women,” Poseidon said wistfully. “I had not met such a mortal woman in a thousand years.” U CUT THAT?? WTF BRO. though with Poseidon, sally and Percy’s new characterization, I suppose eliminating the uncertainty that Percy and Poseidon had towards each other when they met was necessary.
6. “You did well, Perseus. Do not misunderstand me. Whatever else you do, know that you are mine. You are a true son of the Sea God.” Goes in line with #5 tbh
7. The scorpion. Though I like that annabeth saw the betrayal this time, that’s gotta sting. I’ll let someone else do the analysis
8. THIS SUMMER’S BEAD. would’ve loved to see them explaining why they chose it and Percy getting it.
I’ll add more when I think of more ig feel free to add

(I keep on forgetting to add my tag but whatever)
I think this fandoms obsession with ripping each other apart and causing unnecessary drama is what is probably going to kill it other then yk the reboot seasons stopping and then fanworks slowly getting more stagnant
I get that this is a drama at heart and is a parody of reality tv but because it is a parody it’s kind of saying to NOT fucking act like this in person but that just flew over a lot of peoples heads ig
I see far too many people taking the show at face value (which is not a BAD way to enjoy the show, it’s dumb stupid fun and you are allowed to see it as dumb stupid fun) who will clown on people who dig deeper into the writing of the show and the implications of characters actions and reactions to continue making these characters more three dimensional and realistic, all because it is “not that serious” (which defeats the whole point of fandom??? Like we are engaging in a media as fans it doesn’t matter if the media is “not that deep”)
It’s either that or people taking it far FAR too seriously and legitimately harassing people over having a different interpretation of a character or the show itself (if you see a heinous take block and move on that’s fandom 101) which is scaring away new fans out of fear of this harassment. And then people complain that fans are dissipating with a lack of new ones. That’s the reason the fandom is dying out.
I’d love to see more serious discussion of the characters and fleshing them out (rather then flanderizing them into one singular punchline) and I would love to see creative aus that put a spin on the formula (I personally have one that’s set in the pikmin universe in the works) but if the fandom keeps on spiralling into a miserable “hot take” echo chamber those won’t really happen
Tl;dr, I miss when this fandom was an actual fandom

Thaumcraft thoughts again but this time I'm thinking gameplay rather than lore. Comparing 4 and 6.
To start off, 6 is obviously unfinished. This alone means in a comparison w/ no addons 4 wins without a doubt.
Still, even without addons there are interesting points to make here based on what we saw in thaumcraft 6 and what we might have seen if azanor didn't fall down a well or whatever.
Fundamentals: The first tab of the 'nomicon is far more straightforward, and much less likely to give a new player an aneurysm as soon as they open the book. The only part of this I dislike is how long it takes to get to golemancy. The research system is explained on this tab, but we'll save that for last.
Auromancy: Auromancy in 6 is far more fleshed out than in 4. Plus, I personally prefer the casting gauntlet to wands. It feels much more thaumcraft, and less fairy tale magic. You're using your gauntlet to force the world to your desires. It's badass. And the modular focus system allows you to accomplish so much more. The excavate focus in 4 is a joke. It's slow, the range isn't great and it doesn't do enchants. It makes you feel sad and wet and pathetic. In 6, you make a plan silk touch excavate lvl 2 focus and you tear out 5x5 blocks of raw stone. You feel like a thaumic god, shaping the world to your desire. Is it balanced? Absolutely not. Having auromancy draw from the chunk-based vis system is hilariously broken. Vis cost doesnt matter because you move 8 blocks over and all your magic is back. But so much in thaumcraft is underpowered for the required time and effort compared to other mods, that it's nice to feel powerful for once. Ofc its limited by the small amount of effects in base tc6, but we're going to discount that for fairness.
Golemancy: The tc6 (and possibly 5? idk I never played that version) version of this mechanic is much more useful and interesting. Making golems is a pain in the ass now but theres so much more depth with the customization system. And not having to make a new golem for each task in your process makes life much easier. Though it must be said with how cheap golems were in 4 you could get a golem-based farm up and running much faster. It suffers in some areas, combat golems being pretty much useless except as bodyguards, in which case they try their best ig.
Artifice: The new arcane bore is slightly less expensive and clunky, but it's still ass. Splitting artifice and infusion was an excellent decision. The vis generator is a great addition, though it feels simultaneously underpowered and overpowered - it's basically free, but the generation is so bad you need a few to get the same power as an IE windmill and you'll burn through the aura eventually.
Infusion: Again, splitting this into it's own category is common sense. There are a few interesting new things in this tab: the verdant charms, especially the feeding one, are excellent QOL. The stabilizers and upgrades are good too, but I dislike having to purposefully destabilize an infusion to unlock the research, especially as its essential for what little endgame there is in base. I think the eldritch and void stone altars are new in this version, but they're unobtainable in base.
Alchemy: Tubes work better now. It's a fun time. The transducers are better tho, and can easily trivialize essentia organisation. Hedge alchemy I think is also new, and it adds some nice utility. Aversio is a nicer name than telum and no one liked Arbor anyway.
The Eldritch: Lol. Lmao.
And finally, Research:
NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE
WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO STOP RESEARCHING TO GO MAKE A DAYLIGHT SENSOR? OR GET A PHIAL OF AN ASPECT ONLY FOUND IN SHOES? OR WAIT FOR A SPECIFIC PHASE OF THE GODDAMN MOON?? WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH WHAT IM ACTUALLY RESEARCHING?
It's somehow simpler and infinitely more tedious than the tc4 mechanic. At least that was a minigame, albeit a tedious, frustrating game that required multiple thaumonomicon dives (or, yk, an online tool). It also doesn't make sense. Nothing I'm doing here relates to what I'm trying to learn. In 4, the research pattern often had fun nods to what you were actually doing, like having Venenum in a research about poison, or linking all the primals for a late game research. Celestial observations suck. I sleep at night I'm not gonna grab my scribing tools and paper to scribble a drawing of the moon. MC Eternal lets you buy curiosities, which just makes everything so much nicer.
Moving on.
In terms of things I would have liked to not be left behind in 4, firstly I'd like my goddamn outer lands please. Also centivis, but without nodes it really wouldn't make sense. Tbh the whole chunk based aura system is a bit meh, it breaks a lot though it is convenient.
I was going to discuss addons in this post but this is already really long and I'm tired so I'll save that for another day.

Hey, hope you’re doing better… time will make things better, believe me. Just here to give some advice ig, I don’t if it’ll be useful or not, but here I go.
First of all, you are not a bad person. You couldn’t know he was an abuser at all, none of us could… Even if there were signs or not; abusers tend to be good at hiding them… Also we never really know a content creator/celebrity/influencer/etc. We just don’t. The person who they show us can be just a part of them or a completely made up “show” persona. So, it’s not your fault for not knowing and admiring/loving him while you didn’t know. You did nothing wrong at all.
Now that you know, you can do smth abt it. If you want you can give away stuff you have of him (like merch) or use it in privately (as to not show any more support for him). Please don’t burn stuff or throw it away in the trash just to make a point; it really helps no one, you’ve already payed for it, you can’t take the money back, so better give it another use—reuse, reduce and recycle pretty much.
This will be controversial, but you aren’t a bad person for liking something that was made by a bad person. I know this is the “separate the art from the artist” conversation… but just here me out: sometimes I think it’s really not the sin everyone is making it out to be, as long as you try not to support the “artist” (content creator and his music in this case) any longer and acknowledge that the artist is bad, I think you are okay.
You aren’t tainted, bad or somehow it means you are an apologist. It really doesn’t. Just be cautious with it; not saying this like in a “hide that you like him so ppl don’t realize you like him and so /know/ or think you are bad person”, but more in the “some people might be triggered by him and because of what was reveled it’s probably best to try not to support him anymore”.
Support always meaning giving him more money, expanding his voice, introducing more ppl to him and his music, etc.
That said. You can still listen to his music if you want. Again, it’s not a sin or reflection of who you are; it doesn’t make you bad by association or bad at all. Just try to listen it in other ways to not give him any more money or any more of a platform.
You could listen to his music on ytb, many channels have uploaded his stuff and since they are not official acc’s I don’t think he gets any money from it. You could download his music and listen to it outside Spotify or whatever; you can do so from ytb with YouTube Convertors :) You could also listen him from SoundCloud, just make sure the /file/ you listening wasn’t uploaded by the official band (if they even have a SoundCloud acc?).
I wanna add. Just like this could be a “separate the art from the artist�� conversation, ig it could also be a “death of the author” one. You are free to take whatever you want from his art, it is yours now and having that doesn’t make you bad because he is bad. Doesn’t really work like that.
Lastly I guess, it takes time to grow out of an attachment to someone. So please give yourself time, be kind to yourself… It will happen eventually, believe me.
In the meanwhile, specially if you feel too guilty about listening to him or watching his content, you can look for alternatives. There’s plenty of recommendations going around rn, both for similar music and streamers to listen/watch instead; so you could look into those. Yk what they say: nothing like a new hyperfixation to replace another B) haha Idk if anyone has ever said that but sometimes it works like that.
Hope you feel better soon. I do. Hope you get to forgive yourself if you need to? I don’t think you did anything bad, but sometimes we feel like we did regardless… so I hope you found forgiveness if you need it. Remember to be kind to yourself and give it time.
Best of luck. Sending good vibes to you too 🌟✨💫🌸🌻🌱
Thanks so much Anon, that is actually really helpful advice. Luckily, I have other content creators, it’s just hard to go from being obsessed and worshipping him to crying in bed because he is a bad person. I don’t have any merch, but I wanted the records for record day, but I kinda didn’t think it was a good idea anymore… At first, I was trying to distance myself, ignore it cause it hurt to much to think. What I was doing yesterday was keeping myself constantly busy so I didn’t get the chance to think at all. Now I’m kinda accepting it and a little step forward I’ve seen myself take is instead ignoring videos bashing Wilbur on TikTok, I watch them and not avoid them. It’s baby steps but it’s something. I used to use YCGMA to fall asleep, but stopped two nights ago coincidentally, I haven’t dreamed, or haven’t had as vivid of dreams that I’m used to. I basically conditioned myself to be obsessed with him, and not I need unconditioned myself.

ok so the other day on tumblr i mentioned that if one were to keep walker and his goons as characters than i'd rather have them be guys in white agents than essentially ghost cops imo
thru thinking abt this some more i think came up w an idea on how i want prisoners love/public enemies to look in my re:animated au along w how i can incorporate this excellent point my mutual made once
Tumblr media
essentially the giw i.e. walker and his guys capture wulf after he crossed paths w danny on a patrol one night and rather than danny being the one who could've gotten caught it was wulf who took fall for this kid who he barely met
this sticks out to danny and figures that he now owes it to this guy to get him out
to me the heist happening later in mid/nearing the end of s1 is key bc this ep is the culmination of the trio over course of this season having to come together and work as a team essentially the potential heist is going to put that to the test
i'm also combining the prison break from prisoners of love here so that although initially danny only came here for wulf once he sees the other ghosts that are trapped there he feels obligated to free them as well and along w help wulf retrieve an artifact (the infini map) that he was ultimately trying to keep away from the giw
bc with that under their possession they could finally complete their objective which is to eradicate all ghosts in the ghost zone from the town
rather than the school and the mayor promoting the fentons as the ones who are tasked w dealing w the supposed threat of the ghosts at large it's the giw who are instead brought in
to me this change works on account them being a government funded organization so they have a certain level of public authority that maddie/jack don't
since they're not ghosts this time around and can't possess ppl in order to frame danny, they instead use the power and authority they do wield to enforce whatever narrative they want so that the denizens will believe that they have to trust and rely on them even if they don't actually have the town's best interest at heart and what they're doing is completely self serving
if that means making out wulf and soon afterwards danny as public threats so be it
even though we know danny isn't an actual threat to anyone but rather actually has the town's best interest at heart and is doing a much better job at performing his civic duty rather than ppl who supposedly claim that they do
and bc of the stunt him and sam/tucker pulled off he's now on the giw's shitlist specifically walker and his guys as they were put in charge of handling this case and failed horribly according to their superiors so now walker has personal grudge against danny bc of this
it's also worth noting that if you've been following me for awhile then yk that bc i read danny as a brown mexican kid, the fact his status as ghost is making him the target of a goverment funded organization specifically designed to detain him and others like him
the real world parallels i'm trying to draw here aren't exactly subtle and that's on purpose
also the fact that giw want the infini map which is a ghost artifact that belongs rightfully to the ghost zone and not them but is then stolen by them and claimed as a government property that they then intend to exploit as a tool in assisting their eradication of ghosts further adds to my au's overarching theme of colonialism btw

hello!! i was wondering if i could get a ROTTMNT character match up (when ur free and got the time!!)??
i go by many many online names, but usually i stick with sandra! i'm southeast asian, 5'2, and gender non conforming. i got black hair that's in a medium-length butterfly haircut and i usually dress up in a soft-grunge style (i don't have a specific style in reality, too indecisive for that rip).
i have audhd, and find it hard to open up to people. when i have an interest, it's usually really intense! marine biology, certain video game franchises, tv shows, music, the arts—i'm super passionate about all of them and find myself infodumping if i dont catch myself. i keep to myself the majority of the time, but when i open up to people that i believe i can trust, i'm usually described as energetic and very active!
dancing, singing, playing music, and drawing are my main go-to hobbies. especially music—i know how to play the piano, violin, cello, bass, and guitar! the last two are self-taught, but i got a few years under my belt :D
i'm an esfp, and i love listening to people talk about their passions and their love for whatever it is. i'm dramatic and love doing things for shits and giggles (for the plot yk), but i'm bad at recognising and understanding other people's feelings at times. i'm horrendous at comforting others and i can not read between the lines for the life of me.
so sorry for typing so much!! i wanted to make sure u had good material to work with 🤲
i hope you have a wonderful day evening or night !!!
—🌷 anon <33
Hey Sandra! As you didn't state a preference for your partner, I'm going to assume that either any is fine!
Also genuine question, should I add my taglist on these?
Tumblr media
Don't ask how but I can see myself shipping you with April!
💚 - When it comes to dressing up, let's be honest, April could probably rock anything [much like I bet you do!]
💚 - So please for the love of god, let her borrow your clothes. She may not ask for it much, but if you're cool with it she is burrowing herself into your clothes-
💚 - Height-wise, I'd say 5'2" is pretty average, but compared to April, oh boy-
💚 - Her canonical height is 4'8", but let's give her a few inches out of pity, and make her around 5'0"...yeah no she's still short.
💚 - If it takes time for you to open up to people, don't worry! She'll be there, waiting and by your side the whole time.
💚 - As for special interests, if you happen to like a video game she has, she'll definitely let you borrow it. Hell, you guys can play together, maybe even infodump!
💚 - ^^ She'll probably sit there, head propped up in her hand, smiling at you softly.
💚 - Now, as for music, I'm sorry if this is just me projecting, but music players,,,
💚 - Would probably swoon if you ever wrote her a song, or even played for her.
💚 - Would probably ask you to teach her a few things, even if it's just the basics.
💚 - You're both extroverted so expect more outdoorsy dates! Amusement parks, bowling, arcades, whatever your heart desires, it shall get!
💚 - Now, as a fellow ✨THEATER KID✨ if you're demiromantic, aro-spec, or just more of a friends to lovers kinda person, depending on how long you've known each other, and if she can trust you to keep a secret, she might introduce you to Donnie, and maybe even the other turtles.
💚 - Pass the vibe check, please, because if her brothers friends don't like you, I'm sorry but you're gonna have to go-
💚 - Now, if you do vibe with them, especially Donnie, maybe, just maybe, you might get an invite to become an official member of the DPFL [Dorky Pals For Life] club.
💚 - Being unable to comfort April on a bad day might lead to an awkward gap between you two at times, but if you two can talk it out, you'll be just fine!
💚 - As for reading between the lines, if you're unable to read a room, or understand a joke, or just something someone said, she'd got you covered <3
I hope you liked it! <33

Yooooo! Welcome back boss man! (idk ur pronouns, is it ok for me to call you 'man'?)
Ne-ways, my overthinking aside, I love all your Smokey-centric aus! We desperately need more Smokescreen content.
But, I must say, Early Crash is prolly the most fascinating to me. Like, think of all the possibilities! Smokescreen's literally the only (awake, alive and sentient) Cybertronian on Earth rn, he can basically do anything (with the goverment monitoring him obv). I'd liek to think that when social media finally became popular he became a kind of a faceless celebrity yk? Or maybe he and his buddy that may-or-may-not-be Raf chat about technology and exchange tips and fun facts about it in private convos lol.
Thankee :DDDDDD (and dw, I feel comfortable with any pronouns or gendered terms, so feel free to refer to me however :D)
and I love the idea of him being a sort of Faceless Celebrity. What if when the internet does start to exist and pick up traction, Smokescreen starts a sort of dashcam podcast thing? Like, in the beginning it was just him doing verbal logs to fill the silence and make his travels less boring as he looked from Energon/Cybertronian Things, but then Fowler ends up listening to one of them and suggested Smokey start a podcast. This could even get him some potential spending money for little trinkets and the like
It probably wouldn't have a single topic he'd stick to, really just jumping around whatever he feels like talking about on any given day. Sometimes it's about movies or shows he recently discovered, other times it could be about where he is, and maybe every once in a while it could be just..... him venting. Talking about his home. His mentor. He'd of course be careful to not mention anything incriminating or suspicious, but it adds another thing to look forward to doing and to fill the empty, lonely silence.
And of course, the internet has no idea who this mysterious "Smokescreen" guy is or how he manages to travel to all these places that are ridiculously far away from each other, but he does get a decently large following as the years go by, so he considers it a win
and YES. I wanted to play around with Smokey meeting the kids at various points, so them bonding over tech and hacking is gonna be so much fun. Maybe he even teaches Raf the Cybertronian language, but under the guise it's some kind of code he made. So now on top of Raf already being a genius and gifted when it comes to tech, he's also had Smokescreen tutoring him for a couple years
(I'm also a sucker for the potential for holoforms, and maybe Smokescreen initially has one so he wouldn't be a driverless car but it gradually started getting more and more complex until he could use it to interact with people if he has to. Maybe this could be how he meets Jack and June?)
Also, I'll admit I'm currently playing around with the specifics of when he lands on Earth. Initially my idea was that he was only a couple years before canon...... but now I'm starting to think about the possibility of it being even more, say....... a couple decades :)
heck, Fowler might not even be his first minder. Who's to say he didn't have others before (maybe they just got old enough to retire, but if you want to go the angsty route they could be dead)

I'm leaving a random Fyodor hc at your doorstep 🙏
He reflexively agrees to things in order to get what he wants out of situations, knowing he can quickly think of ways to use it to his advantage or just lie to get out or things he doesn't want to do. It is a bad habit though and he does it with people he cares about and in situations he really shouldn't as well where it doesn't actually benefit him, causing misunderstandings in relationships and a tendency to be bad at expressing his true wants and needs (at least the first time around). Especially if those around him don't have the forethought to dig deeper/question him or care to pay attention to things beyond surface level. He feels resentment when someone he cares about doesn't at least make an effort to see beyond the smoke with this behavior, even though realistically he knows it isn't their fault and he shouldn't act like this with people he isn't trying to manipulate. It is just a strong force of habit.
Kind of complicated but it goes along with the whole "Fyodor gives people what they want/tells them what they want to hear" thing that has Shibusawa and Nikolai acting a fool over him in canon lol.
jeyyy thank you lue! <33
yes yes, i can absolutely see him doing that! I also think that he takes great pride in his intellect and that he's always searching for someone who's on his level. That's why (i think at least) he doesn’t hate dazai – at least not like dazai hates him. Idk if you saw that one post but they basically said that he seems actually kinda „sad“ to lose the person that can match him in his intelligence, even though he’s still greatly enjoying the game (like with the poison and stuff and showing off their ability to trick each other)
Regarding the expression of his true wants and needs i would also add that he probably often ignores his own needs in order to pursue his „greater purpose“ (or whatever you would like to call what he does lmao). maybe he has a quiet hope inside of him that some day someone will see what he needs/wants without him having to actually say it out loud. i can see him struggling with that fr!
The „fyodor gives or promises others what they want to get what he wants“ thing also fits to what he does to ivan and nathaniel – i mean we don’t know exactly what he does to them but yk, maybe it's just his manipulation and not a lobotomy?
i also wonder if he ever had a moment of peace - like not having to think about manipulating people all the time and to always be one step ahead. must be very exhausting. maybe that's why he finds nikolai fascinating actually. bc nikolai is pretty impulsive in how he acts, always trying to be free and not tied to any responsibilities and rules or feelings even. (i mean we don't actually have prove how he feels about nikolai but i'm speaking off of subtext and hc's here (which is probably a bad idea when it comes to analysis but there's so little to go by with them ahh))
also a silly hc of mine: he loves cozy socks. i'm sure of it :3

ARTIST WELLNESS
Hello everyone 🤗
I shared this on Artfol and thought this might come in handy for artists here on Tumblr.
I wanted to create a collection of artist wisdom about physical, emotional and mental well-being for all artists.
SO PLEASE REBLOG THIS POST WITH SOME TIPS/ HABITS THAT HELP YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF . I'D BE SO GRATEFUL!❤️
I'd go first. These are the things I try to do or keep in mind to take care of myself.
1. Every Sunday, I do a deep stretch. I focus on my fingers, wrist, arms, shoulders, neck and back. The entire art making process puts a toll on our bodies (and posture :)) so doing these stretches helps to loosen up the muscles. I just search artist stretches (or *insert muscle here* stretches) on YouTube and do whatever I like. 💪
2. I have a pomodoro timer app. I have adhd so it's hard for me to keep track of time when I am working on an artwork. I work for 25 mins, then take a break for 5 mins. During this break, I get up, take a stroll, drink water, eat something, lightly stretch and look at non-screen objects or talk to my family. 🪻🌼
3. I keep the curtains open in the room where I am doing art. I am lucky to have a park near my home so I get to see trees, but even looking at the sky or having open space helps with creativity. 🌳🌳
4. Before any art practice, I take a soft cloth and gently wipe my tablet and stylus. I want to feel gratitude for having the resources to create art, so I touch them and feel their texture and send thanks to their service (very Marie Kondo of me ik 😝). I do the same with my pencil colours and sketchbooks and such. It helps me emotionally feel more connected to my supplies and art in general. 🧘‍♀️
5. Because I have a timer app, I also sometimes use it to switch between artworks. This is something that I learnt on Artfol (shout out to the community ❤️) but it helps when I am feeling frustrated with the one I'm working on.
6. I try to NOT do art everyday. This is more for adhd reasons because when I go into hyperfixation mode, my life is consumed by the said hyperfixation and I burn out. I love art and I don't want to do it so much that I start hating it. Yk like those songs you listen to too much that you can't stand them. So take a day (or days) off! It's important to have hobbies independent of art. 🏋️‍♀️📚☕
7. Social. Media. Detox!!! Who doesn't love sharing their art and getting compliments?? No one. We are all human and praise makes us happy. We feel seen and heard. But social media is a bit bittersweet. I love sharing art, but when it doesn't get attention, I feel rejected. I love looking at other artists' work, but sometimes I can't help but compare. It's human psychology. So either put a timer on the apps to limit usage or take a day off from them altogether. I do a bit of both, depending on my mindset and dopamine levels on the day tbh. 🐾
That's all I can think of for now. I hope this helps someone. 🥰
Feel free to add your wisdom. And share this post with your artist friends.
Have an awesome art experience! 🎨🎨🖌️🖌️🖼️🖼️

Anyways, romance. This whole point was to get them together but oh, too many characters!! Let's change their status into "busy" for a certain amount of time. Enough time for other Alphas to attempt to flirt or court the two Omegas but lo and behold, their (soon to be) significant other is right beside them or behind their back, releasing threatening and terrifying auras and scents. A hand on the waist, neck (Jin-woo is the only one who did this to Jin-Chul. Joonghyuk is a tsundere *gets struck by lightning* I mean a coward. He holds Dokja anywhere appropriate except the neck. It's the most intimate place to hold unto in this AU anyway. Yes I forgot to mention Jin-woo and Jin-chul are a littleee bit ahead on their romance than the other two), an arm around their shoulders, holding hands, etc. They're jelly‼️‼️‼️ no not the kind of jelly you can eat /j I think I'm funny. But they do that too when there's no one around. For what? For the tension that keeps building up. Everyone has to constantly scent the two. They pretend to not like it but go "omg you feel this euphoria everytime we scent you??" to their other Omega companions. While everyone scent them by rubbing their wrist into the two Omega's scent glands, the two Alphas scent them by shoving their faces into their neck. Is that too much? Did that sound too- anyways. On to the courting. The two Alphas are trying to court them, but not with traditional or normal stuff like flowers, blankets or pillows, no, they court them by giving them powerful weapons, protective gear, expensive jewelry and whatnot. They did gift them a scented clothing though (a shirt from Joonghyuk to Dokja and a sweater from Jin-woo to Jin-chul. Soft, smooth, and drenched in the Alpha's scents). Ofc the Omegas give them something in return, an answer to their courting. Dokja also gifts Joonghyuk expensive stuff and buffed weapons. They're competing at this point. Jin-chul gifts Jin-woo blankets (ones he scented himself), cooks for him, and sometimes clothing like long-sleeves shirts (he would never admit outloud that he loves likes to see Jin-woo in long-sleeves. With the sleeves rolled, exposing his forearms). Fast forward to the week of the Omega's Heat (this was longer than I intended to write 😭), all four of them aren't surprised to see and hear their friends excuses on why they can't be there. Honestly they were hoping they would be alone, which was granted (Everyone, even the kids, smirks and high fives after they exit the room/building/house. "I told you so"s t-shirts are gonna go out of stock). Cue Joonghyuk being in Dokja's apartment and Jin-woo in Jin-chul's. Cue the Alphas cooking the Omegas meals, bathing them when the Heat is too strong and they are unable to move properly, cuddling with the Omegas, reassuring them (for reasons unknown. Jk I just wanted fluff), and doing every action that is gentle, caring and all. They do leave the Omegas alone when they grow ehem, yk. Only coming back when the Omegas tell them to do so. Mating comes after the 9/100 dates is finished‼️ at the end of the Omegas Heats though, they did agree on becoming each other's mates. Claiming bites occurred and when they showed their faces to the outside world again everyone is wearing an "I told you so" t-shirt and teasing them. "Thank god you all finally got together. I fear I was going to get married first before you did." "Congratulations, can I show you the wedding plan I did for you all now?" "Finally." "You finally grew some blls or should I say, a uteru—" "Finally." Anyways that's all. I wrote this in your ask box or whatever this is lol. Hope you enjoyed, feel free to add stuff or continue this! Part three, the last. for the love of god pls send 😭
Haha I squealed and laughed a lot in this so thanks for giving it to mee! I really liked it and im happy you got to share it in my ask box! Im surpisingly very bad at my abo stuff (and my cross over stuff) so I might not have much to say, either way this was very enjoyable to me! certainly loving these kinds of fluffs and crazy aspects of life, abo is nice to see once in a while as well, and the fluf ideas of jinchul and dokja being well taken cared of by their mates or the idea of being boded AH thats so delicious!

hii i am back with another lore question horror of horrors i know but i wanted to know more about the cults + the people who oppose the cults that u mentioned? also Who exactly are the perfectionists 😭😭 ive been like staring at the google doc trying to figure it out lol but id figured id just ask you :)
Cults: Thanks for asking! This is related to the accessory ask in that one clear benefit of a cult that focuses on one line of reincarnated voices makes it super easy to pass down an accessory to the next person. The clearest and least evil purpose a cult serves is to keep people in touch and connect people. A bunch of various cults probably exist/have existed so take this how you will (and feel free to add flavoring etc.) but one way this could manifest is a group of folks with head people who spend their lives trying to be as "morally pure" as possible so that when they die they'll be reincarnated for sure. And I bet when one of them dies they all disperse and flock to various hospitals around the globe to see what baby has their soul now, yk. And then they'd give the baby something to serve as an accessory from their recently deceased friend, and try to recruit that baby and family to the organization, etc. Different cults/groups would have different terminology for what they are, probably also flavored by whatever religious and spiritual practices they are adjacent to.
Probably the way the cults define "moral purity" is what causes opposition, from both other folks with head people and from regular folks who think they're 1) dangerous or 2) makin' all of it up as an excuse to enact ultra-conservative values on impressionable young people.
Perfectionists: In the original novel, Dr. Morello was working with a separate organization dedicated towards cultivating capital-P Perfectionist powers (basically a shitty underground lab where 'high numbers' got conditioned into living without their accessories through prolonged exposure to their voices and then were gonna be used as weapons, etc. Dr. Morello was running the other group as a way to send 'high numbers' to this group.) So the terminology of Perfectionist is used to refer to this more "monstrous" state (a 'high number' who doesn't wear their accessory and has access to powers.) In the musical, I don't think Dr. Morello is doing this necessarily, because his specific vendetta emerged against HP pretty recently. But other folks might've tried to harness Perfectionist powers like this in the past.
I think the word 'Perfectionist' might also have been used by the aforementioned cult opposition by folks who don't have head people. In a more loose, derogatory use of the term, not just directed to high numbers or people who have accessed powers, but to anyone with head people.
I hope this helps! Feel free to ask follow-ups etc!
