#if i don't over explain stuff then I'm misread

[lowcursedmg]

I'm talking way past way too much these past 24 hours. Am I starved for social interaction? Probably

#the why behind it is a lot to get into #already have 1 and 1/2 times today #idk #sometimes i wanna talk to my friends and tell them all the stuff i like about them and make jokes #but when i keep things short and sweet i still haven't had my fill #and when i talk as long as i like (and that's if they'll even give me the chance to talk that much) it feels like I should've just left- #well enough alone and I'll misspeak and now I've upset someone i care about #and then they'll likely want to talk to me less and less #and they'll want to talk to me less if I'm short and withhold my full thoughts #people find that cold and off-putting #i don't really know what the fuck to do #if i don't over explain stuff then I'm misread #either that or they just won't care anymore and just want me to shut up #if i talk too much i freak people out and they run away #or get freaked out that i have so many feelings or thoughts about them so early in the relationship #it would help if anyone i ever have had a friendship with would reach out to talk to me consistently/ at all #or do i seek people out who lean towards disinterest when it comes to me as some kind of trauma response #and if so #does that make this my issue to fix? #am i doing something wrong? is that why people don't want to talk to me? #i try to hard to be pleasant and warm but it never seems to come across that way or be appreciated or acknowledged #so* #am i trying too hard? is that even a thing? society tells you that if you want something you don't have #you have to put forth the effort to obtain it #so what's wrong with putting in the effort with friends? #what's the fucking issue with me? #i always seem to end up getting on everyone's nerves and i always get fussed at even I'm trying my absolute hardest to be friendly and kind #now I'm actually crying #i so often feel like I'm some kind of freak or alien entity placed in human society as some kind of experiment #i so often feel that i don't belong here

so... iii18, right? let's get into my theories. these all tie together in some way

mephone4s's return, or attempted return

My main theory coming out of this is the idea that Walkie is going to attempt to upgrade mephone4 back to 4s. this is mostly backed by potential foreshadowing. not only are there several references to 4s in the episode, but it is also possible that his voice can be barely heard during a point in mephone's dialogue. (EDIT: This was likely just me being overanalytical and not actual evidence. My bad!)

the amount of foreshadowing could lead to him reappearing as a construct or replica (i.e. springy's toys), but I think the second piece of evidence points to him returning through mephone4.

a bit more on this would be the fact that iii references season 1 a lot. think about tyler and the amount of times characters jumped off a cliff. iii was supposed to be the return to s1's tone, wasn't it? a parallel or reference to the finale is almost expected. especially since that already happened, as helpfully pointed out in the episode

i don't know why this would be the plan of action, possibly just to get rid of mephone. maybe I'm misreading the foreshadowing, im not sure.

walkie talkie is a meeple device or at least affiliated, and springy is a meeple generated construct

so there are a lot of questions when it comes to walkie talkie.

why does she want to take over the show?

why is she trying to delay its end?

why is she hiding her appearance?

how did she learn about iii in the first place?

where did she get the means to do any of this?

Walkie is obviously Cobs with a girl filter My theory is she is a Meeple device, or at least Meeple-affiliated. It would explain why she wants to keep the show running, as Meeple do profit off of it, and why she'd want to keep it at season 3, as s2 was decidedly anti-meeple.

Her being a meeple device would explain why she never shows herself or shares any details on her identity, as she would immediately lose trust with mephone.

also that "all we need is revolutionary technology!" line from episode 17? that was very interesting.

on top of that, she somehow knew practically everything about the third season before the airing of any in-universe episodes. importantly, she knew about the location of it. if my theory holds, that could easily be explained with her having access to meeple tech and therefore being able to track mephone.

regardless of her means, she's been watching.

as for springy, my main piece of evidence to him being a meeple-generated construct is how he glitches. he doesn't glitch like a robot, he glitches like a construct.

to show the contrast, i added mephone glitching. you can see that the glitch effect is only applied to his software, while springy and the glitched construct tree have the effect applied to their physical forms. (Ignore the fucked bitrate for the springy screenshot, youtube does not like the glitching)

on top of that, springy has his weird philosophies, fixation on robots, corporate everything, and suspicious spaceships.

i am of the belief that walkie may have orchestrated the sponsorship to get either closer to everything happening or more control.

I would go on, but I'm starting to lose steam, and I'm beginning to forget stuff. please add on if you can think of anything, or can debunk/criticize my theories. i would love a discussion

[harrypotterfuryroad]

Can you explain to me the "Hermoine tries to fight for house elves to be free or whatever" plotline, please? I never read Harry Potter but I'm thinking about giving the series a shot and I want to prepare for whatever discourse I'll come across on this hellsite.

so before getting to that we gotta go over how a fish-out-of-water character works in a series like this. it's usually the protagonist, and it's usually a way for the author to explain details about the setting in a way that doesn't completely halt the narrative. it can be simple and straightforward, or the author can use the juxtaposition to drive conflict or character development

harry potter has two fish out of water characters: harry and hermione. they're both viewing wizard society as outsiders, but harry's perspective is influenced by the fact that he knows his parents were famous wizards (and the fact that he's a famous wizard) where hermione is coming in with no preexisting connections

this means that harry interprets everything about wizard society as though it's normal, or at least he thinks he's supposed to think it's normal. through harry's eyes everything is novel and exciting, but because of his preconceived notions he doesn't really stop to think about why things are the way they are. also probably helps that anything is a major step up from living in a closet (and he's usually too preoccupied with not getting murdered to think too hard about stuff)

hermione however has nothing stopping her from pointing out the hypocrisy or otherwise weird traditions present in wizard culture. this leads to her highlighting the mistreatment of house elves in goblet of fire. the first major discourse point is that this writes her as shrill or abrasive or otherwise in the wrong, since that's how the people around her respond to it, but it's pretty clear that this is actually done to portray everyone else as too blinded by tradition to see what they might need to change

this all kinda ends up with a misread of the series (more a miswatch really, more on that in a sec) where everyone loves oppressing house elves and the house elves are grateful for their mistreatment. there are plenty of other moments in the series that also get this treatment, but it's because people read ron telling hermione to stop making a big deal about something as the text endorsing the thing in question, where instead it's usually to use ron as the stand-in for entrenched wizard society traditions. when ron says "don't worry about it, they like helping out," it's very obvious that you're supposed to find him callous and insensitive for thinking that

the biggest thing driving the dumbest parts of the discourse is that the movie adaptations largely drop the house elf plotlines after the second movie. if you watch the movies and that's it, you'd be totally right to come away thinking that the series uses abuse of domestic servants as a source of comic relief. and then you hear about hermione's house elf plotline and figure that it's also more about comic relief, leading to an uncharitable read of the series. if all you need is ammunition to say wizard lady bad, then why would you dig any deeper

but ultimately hermione being a house elf activist is used to show her as being able to stick up for her values even when she's going against a thousand years of ossified tradition (gryffindor 10000%, ravenclaw hermione truthers can see themselves out), and to show that tradition isn't inherently valuable

so yeah anyone who comes at you with "lul the series says house elves love being slaves" is just straight up not paying attention because the entire point is to break that down

[vacant2007]

goofy things i do

-mentally shut down as soon as i try to type this because oh my god why would you commit your thoughts to text. what are you some kind of self-obsessed ignorant tool

-hype myself up for like 3 days to finally make a Funnie Joak that ive been planning for like 2 years. if nobody laughs at joke, kill self

-walk thru grocery store shopping normally but vibrating with fear and absolutely certain everybody there hates every fiber of my being and would love to see me dead

-almost cry when thinking about how i exist and how unappealing and gross i am and how i cannot take myself seriously because i am so subhuman and repulsive and pointless that even wishing someone would love me is an unholy amount of embarrassing that i cant even begin to process

-if someone mentions an interest of mine casually, immediately clam up and do my damndest to pretend i barely care because if they see me like visibly react or get excited or anything it will be SO confusing and weird and cringe and it will be the talk of the century for them when im not around. or worse they will say 'lol why do you like that so much' which as we all know is a valid reason to consider suicide

-never keep a journal even in private. you think im just gonna say how i feel about things directly? so that the audience of nobody can mock me? i think the fuck not

-behaving bizarrely secretively about purchases and things i buy because id actually rather die than be asked why i bought something/wanted something

-want to hurl myself off a cliff when asked things like 'what's your favorite movie'

-lie about random shit for no reason like oh my god they will hate me FOREVER if i tell them i went to Walmart. I'm gonna say i uhhhhh went to the library. ok cool

-push the existence of new acquaintances who might want to be my friend so fucking far out of my mind that i genuinely forget to attempt contacting them

-get new clothes i think are cool, then never wear them because i feel like the worlds stupidest silly little boy in my shitty little fit

-before stating a fact to someone in a text or whatever, even if i know the fact is 100% true, google it and check it from multiple sources multiple times and read them over and over to make sure i'm not misunderstanding or misreading or otherwise about to make a fool of myself by saying something like, grass is green. once i am satisfied that i will Not sound stupid for stating that grass is green, press send and wait in agony

-on walks around the neighborhood with earbuds in, check every 30 seconds to make sure they're actually connected and that nobody is hearing my music. not only because it would seem really inconsiderate and strange to be blasting music out in public, but also because they will probably think the songs i like are really stupid

-put everybody i interact with into categories based on which sensitive aspects of myself i am willing to share with them at any given time. don't mix them up! i can't be telling personal-emotional stuff to the infodumps guy or vice versa.

-get so violently upset when someone is a little rude that i fantasize about beating them to a pulp while in reality i am just hiding and holding back tears

-avoid being seen in public spaces as much as possible because everytime someone's eyes notice me i feel like they are full of malice even though i cannot adequately explain what malice looks like in a person's eyes. best to just assume all gazes are malignant, then

-wonder why i am So Alone And Lonely while the unread DMs and text messages pile up on me, or fizzle out because I didn't say anything meaningful back

-leave behind me a series of friendly people who probably did try their best to include me and get to know me, but i couldn't find it in me to trust or listen to

-everytime i have to do something no matter how normal it is, wait till someone else does it first so i can gauge whether anyone thought they were stupid or weird and if not, copy exactly how they do it

-worry this is a stupid list

-wonder if there's enough things on this list or if i'm forgetting something that was crucial to The Vibe of it and without it the post will just seem dumb

-put this in the drafts as soon as i get done typing it, where it will ostensibly rot for all of time!



#eh maybe ill post it lol like #maybe somebody with avpd will see it and go 'oh me. lol' and it will encourage me to look into this further #sorry though LMAO i will hopefully get back to using this blog for what i usually use it for soon.i just. dont want this on my main #probably for these exact reasons! #vent cw #personal #suicide mention #tw suicidality #avpd #avoidant personality disorder #(potentially. maybe. said in a very trigger-shy way) #actuallytraumatized #actuallyabused

Rules + About

((Updated May 9th 2023))

((Hi, mod Humble here. I decided to make a quick post to pin that I'll probably edit over time. Just a few things that should be mentioned. It's definitely gonna be a little wordy, but that's just because I like to be clear with these things so no one feels lost on anything. So let's get this over with, shall we?))

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

((First things first: this is a sideblog. My main/personal is @iambutahumblememe, so if that blog follows you, that's me following you. Hello! 👋))

((My time zone is GMT, so if I don't seem to be on or doing things at the same time as everyone else, we're probably writing on different clocks. I'm also autistic, so I may misread situations or messages. Feel free to tell me if it seems like I've misunderstood something.))

((I use double brackets when talking OOC. There's also the chance I'll talk OOC in the tags sometimes. You don't need to talk back or anything, I probably just felt like getting my current thoughts (or bad jokes) out of my head.))

((It's important to mention that I won't always be around. While my schedule is pretty clear at the moment, it's important to remember I've still got a life outside of this and quite enjoy doing other things. Additionally, I can feel anxious when writing with others (especially new people) which can make me slow to interact, if at all. And I simply may not have the energy to write. Please keep this in mind.))

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

((Moving on to rules and writing, this blog has the potential for things like swearing, blood, gore, abuse and mental health issues, given the fandom this was born from. A warning for anyone not wanting to risk seeing that.))

((Shield's not interested in any romantic or sexual stuff, but I don't mind suggestive stuff as long as it doesn't go further than that. I also don't mind someone else's character having a one-sided crush on them if that's how that character feels, but like. Who would crush on this loser-))

((Things like sudden unstoppable dismemberment or similar things upon Shield are annoying to deal with if not talked about beforehand. Killing them is also a big no-no unless discussed, but I feel that should be obvious.))

((You don't have to match my writing length or anything. I just like putting down a lot of words. As long as I can understand what you're writing at all, I really don't care about length. If I'm writing with you, it's because I wanna write with you, end of.))

((You also don't have to worry about replying to threads quickly. If you wanna continue writing at a much later point, that's just fine by me! And if there's a chance I don't, I'll be upfront. You can also be upfront if you don't wanna continue a thread we're in the middle of. It's honestly fine, I don't wanna force someone to write if they don't want to.))

((Final thing that comes to mind, don't take control of my character to make them say or do things without my permission. I don't think I need to explain why that's annoying to deal with. Stick with the character you made, pal!))

And that's everything that comes to mind! A little lengthy, but I just wanna make sure I'm clear about these things. Some facts about Shield Anon are under the read more, along with a picture @mod-teacup made as a gift. ❤️

Their name is simply Shield Anon or Shield for short (Shield!Anon if you're feeling spicy I guess). They don't exactly have a "normal" name, given what they are.

They're agender and like to go by they/them. They don't mind other neutral neopronouns, but they're not used to being addressed by them.

Can sometimes act kind of weird, like many anons. ...Probably like most people on Tumblr actually-

Surprise surprise, they're good with making and using shields of all kinds. They can do some pretty ridiculous things with one. Not that odd, given shields are their thing.

They can do M!A stuff (Magic Anon for those unfamiliar). They usually use it on themselves.

They can store and pull random objects out of their nonexistent pockets. They can even make objects with their magic. It's not always precise though, it depends on factors like size and power.

They're currently using their magic to practice making what they believe to be the greatest shield one can make: force fields!

They have a habit of rambling.

They can use swinging weapons along the lines of a crowbar, a staff or even a blade, but they'll most likely use a shield as one instead. It depends on the situation.

Enjoys talking to new people, but they also sort of don't. Nothing to do with them, it's just a sort of fear they feel. Definitely not projecting here-

Unsurprisingly to anyone who knows where they first originated, their favourite Smiling Critter is CraftyCorn. She's a unicorn, an artist and generally very nice, so she's cool in their books. They just think she's neat. (They also think she needs to stop getting put into situations.)

Woah, Issue 62 was out since the 5th? How'd I miss that!?

Alright, lemme tear into it @randomthefox @darklightheart

For recap...

"Even though one villain's relevancy was literally over 10 issues ago, and the other is a char that never was introduced in mainline IDW till now"

Lovely start, and the art this issue by Roth. Admittedly I don't dislike his stuff like current ABT and Evan, but I'm expecting meme faces

For the story...

Ian, not every racing game is continuity tied to main games like Riders. This also laughably makes events in Zombot MORE avoidable if everyone had transforming vehicles that fly outside Tails!

Ian also shows he misunderstands why Knux is on Angel Island. Or that Eggman legit has no interest after Adventure 2

In fairness, this is partially cuz Sonic Team is aware fandom is too tied to the idea of him being a guardian for title, even though the reasoning (Angel Island's landmass is risen from survivors of the Chaos incident, to ensure Chaos trapped in the ME isn't accessed), though said reasoning sadly is limited to Japan guides in noting survivors existing (though in game for the Mystic Ruins shows that survivors did indeed depict Chaos, so fans pls)

Regardless, I'm getting too agitated for a small remark from Amy

As she falls in the pit trap-

Oh, it's just...unstable ground? She wasn't in Marble Garden. Knux's patrols also seem poorly done given the ME is still open. Whatever

Amy shows the statu- hey

Wait wait wait (issue 61)

Also Amy oddly is taking credit for this, but Roth is misreading emotions this scene. Also Knux oddly has 2 cheek creases, but meh

Anyway, he teases her for falling through a hole (why is there one), and deduces that the relic that I doubt will be explained why Eggman has it is from Marble Garden mashed with Mystic Ruins. When the latter is literally on Earth...

I love mislabeled geography

Anyway, we cut to this

So first off, when and how do you guys know each other? A phone call to a secretive merc traitor makes sense if Mimic was bounty hunting or an assassin, even had Starline erase records. He's legit been trying to lay low after Bad Guys

Second, Ian, you established that Clutch also wanted to lie low. Why start a public company (which he definitely did not have in the Chaotix issue 48 story)? And why do one that legit was just doing what the Resistence/Restoration was doing? This is genuinely stupid for both time and competition in business

Like salvaging and recycling in an underground market maybe, or for ulterior reasons like a scrap mecha army, but a public company that cleans up? That's stupid

Alright so bar my rant, Mimic doesn't want to infiltrate the Restoration at first, but then Clutch tells him that the lesbians are there

Because clearly, Mimic can't simply bug off rationally, we apparently need backstab drama

Back to Knux-oh come on! (See last panel)

You really expect people to search for the Free Comic day issue? That's bad planning! Same with relying on alt spinoffs!

Worse, they resolved the issue of the burrowing mechs last year (our time) in said Free Comic Day issue! So that's not even an excuse here

That said, half of this page makes me laugh

At least Ian is partially aware no one gives a cent for Jewel. Which is kinda sad

Part 2 cuz image limits: https://www.tumblr.com/kinopioa/723682040470487040/part-1-continuing-on-so-anyway-we-have-amy?source=share

Dear Anon,

Just wanted to take a moment to apologize to yesterday's anon. I got a bit snippy and I'd like to explain why.

IRL stuff has me pretty stressed right now. I'd just gotten non-ideal news like, less than an hour before that message made it's way into my inbox so I already wasn't in a great headspace. And

I'm not someone who takes fandom super seriously. I'm here for a bit of fun. To kick my feet up. To laugh about the exploits of undead idiots and be horny about them.

I've only been in one fandom previous to this. It was a very small fandom and actually where I met my partner. She insists that I was a BNF over there, which I still deny. Because I don't feel like I was. There were plenty of bigger fans over there who I was friendly with but didn't see as my peers in any true way.

I also watched a few of those people jump a bit too far up their own asses due to their 'status' in the fandom. That fandom is basically dead now, but I still look back on some of the egos it bred and cringe.

I am not a BNF in VC fandom. It's not a title I would ever claim. But I know my inbox is seen as a bit of a 'safe space' among those who don't like/hate the show. And I see the importance of that. Shit is very contentious now. I think it's nice for people to have a place to scream into the void or whatever.

It's difficult for me to understand other's perception of me because it's not a thing I think about very often. It's not something I really care about, frankly. I know the people who hate me really seem to hate me and the people who like me really seem to like me and that's about it.

I'm rambling now. My point is, not only do I *not* want to be a BNF it's also like, my worst fandom fear. I've seen that shit break bad too many times. Whether it's the fan drinking their own Kool-Aid to the point of mistaking themselves as a big deal or the people that hate them mistaking them for being a big enough deal to harass them or the people who like them mistaking them for being a big enough deal to take the BNF's thoughts and ideas at face value as fact or as some how gospel...that sounds like hell to me.

I guess I just let my stress commingle with that underlying fear and the tone I may've misread in your message and well. Here we are.

And while I stand by the TL;DR of my response (IE: I'm just one fucking idiot on this platform trying to have a good time; I don't hold any real power or expertise here; I don't especially love people even jokingly pretending as though I'm some expert on things, etc.) I probably would have phrased it differently if I wasn't up to my eyeballs in cortisol.

So, if I hurt your feelings or caused any offense, I am truly sorry for being so snippy with you yesterday.

#talk hard

[mayordoi]

PLEASE tell me about your Robin headcanons, I'm so curious now.

oh beans i didn't expect a response to my meme! (i mean, it has happened before but my answer was a bit undercooked) normally i'd say my headcanons are cringe and try not to talk about them but THIS TIME i am excited to indulge, mainly to have them written down on my art page :> this may end up being a long boy answer lol

(as a brief preamble, i've pretty much been building off of these robin headcanons since like, middle school or so (at least 5 years) for my smash fanfiction. while the amount of Stuff i've imagined for them might make them a bit different from their original characters, the context of awakening is what prevents me from turning them into full-on oc's)

anyway. i'm not responsible for any damages this may induce. the actual hcs will be under the cut

Both of them

so to start out, both the female and male variants are separate entities rather than like, alternate dimension counterparts. in fact, they're siblings (reeaally starting a bit out there i know). for reference, the girl (younger of the two) is named reflect (a misreading of the japanese name i grew attached to. it is what it is) while the boy is just robin. this is why i usually try drawing them with different clothes so they don't look like clones of each other lol. i like to think some aspects like the shirt and the black robe and tall brown boots are staples of the "tactician" uniform to explain any similarities.

neither have amnesia (since i just.. don't like the trope that much + i wanted to have them remember and reflect on their upbringing y'know). robin is actually a regular, normal blooded dude (which is why i don't really depict him in an evil grima-possessed form). reflect on the other hand did have grima's blood, which tipped off the grimleal in hopes to resurrect grima. however, much like the original awakening story, reflect's mama took her away out of fear of what the grimleal would do to her in pursuit of their goals. due to circumstances that i haven't fully figured out yet, robin was left behind and was raised by daddy dearest validar. reflect was raised by her mama and unaware of the grimleal or that she even had a brother/father at all.

a fairly old but still good ref of their differences. i definitely took a lot of liberties with reflect obviously (i REALLLLY like robin's original design, main reason why i got so attached to the character, so i kept it pretty true to the original with some details i dont like redrawing sanded off). a lot of design elements developed over the years and came from various sources.

(strap thingies on the side were based on cipher art, stockings are based on heroes art of f!morgan, cloak is partially inspired by the grandmaster design (albeit heavily simplified), shorts... i just thought looked cool, blah blah)

ok enough rambling, time to ramble about them individually

Robin

if it wasn't clear by how i'd often draw robin with a tired/exhausted look on his face, he isn't exactly the most high-energy guy :p he's jaded and sometimes a bit of an asshole to people he doesn't know. pretty unapproachable generally. i hope the fact he was raised by validar would explain why. i imagine validar was particularly bitter about the grima vessel slipping out of his grasp and took some of that out on his remaining child.

his strict upbringing helped him become very proficient in tactics and magic as expected... but also a bit reclusive and not much of a people person. he'd travel around after being sick of validar's shit, which is how he crosses paths with chrom. chrom basically takes him in and lets him work as a tactician for the shepherds, which is an act that causes robin to become very attached and loyal to chrom. i'd say he's an established member for a few years before the events of awakening.

he's kind of unathletic (very skinny bastard) and probably has redditor posture (inspired by how slow of a runner he is in smash bros). magic is much more his "asset" ;) his sword game is mid if he's not wielding the levin sword.

he remains single to the end of awakening's campaign, but historians note he was "really good friends" with chrom (he is attracted to men lol. specifically chrom. but then chrom gets married which complicates things 🥴).

Reflect

in comparison to her male counterpart, she's much more free-spirited and bubbly. she's chill and great at making friends, a bit more accurate to the original. she was also raised to be a tactician, though she is comparatively still a novice. still, she's a quick and enthusiastic learner. i also imagine her to be kind of a risky thrill-seeker.

when she leaves her small community to explore the world, she comes across the burning village in awakening's first chapter, which is how she crosses paths with chrom. she joins his gang to further her learning as a tactician and to make some friends yeeaa!! (i haven't written as much about her as i make mrobin 😛)

she later marries chrom and becomes the mother of lucina.

I sometimes draw her with red hair tied in a black bow-- that's related to some non-fe fanfic stuff that is too convoluted and cringe for this already lengthy and cringe post. but it's an alternate look for her i think is kind of cute 😊

~~~

hopefully that's a sufficient enough answer, my brain always gets really scattered whenever i have to elaborate my robin hcs to someone else. i get a bit self-concious about them because i think i'm so far off-base with their original characters (but can't oc-ify them with some elements being based in the world/story of awakening) that i'll become like. public enemy of the greater robin community. but i know that's a bit ridiculous, so i let loose here as a means to get these many thoughts somewhere on my art page as a reference for when i draw these fellas in the future :)

there's also the separate tangent of their offspring, the morgans (or morgan being the girl, and marc being the boy) but this post is long enough as is so i'll just leave it there :,)

negative  . . . Doesn't go outta his way to meet new people/ Over thinks

•Personality in a bit more detail

- He acts very sure of himself and sure of what he's doing. And yes well at times he is sure sometimes it's much more of an act. He's not shy and infact can be rather bold. But he's not fully self-assured about himself and questions things deeply, like meaning behind simple things or just life, but at times that gets him to really overthink things and misread a situation.

I think in a way he wants the attention from other people too, but also doesn't want to be variable around them he wants to seem like he's always well rounded and good and doesn't have any problems or things that will worry others. He's kind and cares for people but doesn't usaully go out of his way to become close with other people and though bold can be rather quite especially when deep into his thoughts.

If your mean to him though he won't just take it, he'll stand up for himself, and might say something mean back but he usaully doesn't strike first.

And he is quite the bit of a hopeless romantic, but he's not sure if something like that could ever happen to him. Plus he kinda closes parts of himself off from his band, from people who want to be his friends and even his own family (( Emotionally damaged))

Don't read this part if you just wanna find out rping with him || He's Very Emotional so when he's happy he lights up, when he's sad he's really really down and when he's mad- I think you get it||

He's kinda complicated, at least to me so it's hard to explain his whole personality

And he might be austistic coded and if he is it wasn't intentional I'm just autistic so Idk ( I'm not against him being austistic that was just not my original intent for the character, but I do have other ocs that are austistic. I just like making my characters different from eachother)

Family realionships

Mother

Ellison Spector

His mother and who he is closest to in the family. She loves both of her sons treating them equal. He does many favors for his mom and loves her very Dearly.

Father

John Spector

John wasn't looking for another child after Arnold his oldest, so he never really cared much for Alex. But Alex still wants to win over his father in some way.

Older brother.

Arnold Specter- he's only three years older

His Dads favorite and in Alex's eyes the one who can do no wrong and who somehow wins every trophy and is skilled how can Alex compete with that. There realionship is well rocky at best, more so closed off on Alex's side then Arnold's side, Arnold tries to have a good realionship with his brother.

He lives in a apartment now but I just felt those realionships are kinda important and kinda is part of what made him who he is.

Thank you if you read all of that 😊

There still is a bit to tell about him but you'd find out if you rped with him.

mannn i cant believe people are actually sending you anon hate for those tags. youre fine, you just worded the tags in a way that made people misunderstand what you were actually saying. its not your fault & i hope youre ok

i only got one anon‚ everybody else has just been raggin' on me in the tags and replies, and frankly i'm kinda annoyed at myself for wording it how i did, not my fault i prefer to use long words that corporations also like to use (its because it makes me feel like i have a "legal" out from my statements)

but yeah i really didn't expect to have anybody post my tags like that, i even added more tags to That post explaining how i just don't like thrillers and horror and would like to be able to see the same story as proposed in the post, no sanitization or anything, doesn't have to be any more palatable for me, just without the parts that'd keep me up at night, y'know?

i'm especially kinda peeved at the person who went on to focus in on my, very poorly worded, statement about it being more consumable, assuming i meant "sanitized, sterile, the exact opposite of what the post was about" rather than "not scary, able to be viewed after dark by folks who get scared for no reason when they're home alone, etc" so that probably made, what people thought was my opinion, so much easier for folks to just dogpile onto, like there's nothing this site does better than misreading something as objectively worse than was intended

tl;dr for anyone coming from that post to say "you're such a loser lol": yes i don't like horror/thrillers/scary stuff, but i understand it has fans, and i accept it as a genre that exists. no i don't want everything to be sanitized and corporately consumable, just consumable to your average viewer who listens to jazz so she doesn't think about what could be behind her in the dark. yes i'm aware i talk like a corporation's entire PR team trying to cover their bosses asses, its not a career path i intend to take though.

thanks for the kind and respectful ask, i am ok, and i'm aware of my mistakes, that wording was one of them, i can accept that

but also i really hope this blows over soon because Ugh it'd be so embarrassing if people started hating me for an opinion i don't even have

#some people might think i'm trying to backtrack a bad take‚ and those people are pretty presumptuous #i really do hope i don't get any more hate from this #like i've read so many of the tags and So Many talk about ''no! make it Less consumable!'' like that was the whole point of my tags #reading comprehension am i right? critical thinking Am I Right? Mob Mentality. #sorry for rambling in the tags 🥺 #i really think most of the folks commenting on my opinions didn't even think of theirs themselves‚ just saw me getting blasted and blasted

No. Nobody is "transing" the tomboys. OMG.

(As a cis woman who is a tomboy and literally screamed "I hate being a girl!" at my mom many times I want to dissect the obnoxious anxiety some women feel when they see trans boys finding out who they are. )

I don't want to link to it, but a TERF group has a video up where a woman talks about how she thinks that if she grew up today she'd "end up" being a trans man.  You see, she was a tomboy, and she's a lesbian and she thinks that growing up today she “end up” being a trans man. Like it’s something that someone can just stumble into easily by mistake.

I don't just want to say "this is nonsense" and leave it at that, because I do think some people have some legitimate confusion and worry about this. But, this is only because you aren't thinking through all the steps required for this to happen. 

Let's walk through it.

Imagine a "tomboy" a young girl with no interest in anything "for girls" she dresses like a boy, does boy stuff. And because sexism exists she isn't looking forward to being treated like a girl or a woman for all her life. "I don't want to be a girl!" she even says.

Let's even imagine that all this makes her parents wonder if she might be trans. What would they do at this point? Probably ask "are you uncomfortable being called 'she/her'? Do you not want to have your girly name anymore? What’s going on?” This changing names, pronouns and how you participate is called "social transitioning.”

For trans kids and tweens its really all they are asking for. Just use different pronouns, recognize the change, let them try it out.  So let's say this girl says "yeah, I want to be Billy not Jane." since she thinks this will address her feelings. This is assuming her parents aren’t able to get to the bottom of her real feelings for some reason. 

Is she now locked in to being a boy forever? 

Will she be dragged to a hospital?

Obviously not. 

So, she tries out the social transitioning.  The name change might not feel off but I'd imagine for a tomboy who's fundamentally mad that girls aren't treated as well as boys ... being called "he" will probably feel... off. 

And this is where, for many reasons some, change their mind. And that's totally fine. The whole damn point is to free people from the constraints of gender rules not to just move people from one restrictive box to another.

But, let's imagine tomboy hides how she feels about this feeling off. So they move on to talking to a psychologist and doctor as she's getting older.  There is a lot of talking and opening up to be done.

"I hate being a girl. The world isn't fair to girls. I wish people would take me seriously even though I'm a girl. I'm a tomboy. If I have to be a guy to get treated right FINE I'll do it."

This isn't what being a trans man sounds like? This is what hating sexism and being a tomboy sounds like. 

"Do you want to have a man's body?"

"Do you want facial hair?"

"Do you want a deep voice?"

The effects of hormones are well documented and explained to anyone who might take them. "tomboys" don't *really* want to be boys. People who take hormones do so because they want the well documented effects. Many trans people don't even take hormones. And it's not like any little girl who likes to play in the mud is going to be fast tracked into this stuff. 

It's not like other medications where parents can sometimes decide their kid needs it. The choice is up to the person taking the hormones.

I think some people imagine that parents could just misread signs of questioning about gender and decide to BAM put their kid on hormones the way that kids are sometimes put on ADHD medicines. We are talking about 17, 18, 19 and up making these decisions-- after YEARS of social transition and talking about what they really feel.

If anything the whole process might be over cautious. I've heard many trans people complain that others think "it's only a phase" which can be really patronizing. 

There is a ton of pressure at every step to not go forward. This isn't something that can be accidental.

Of course this whole discussion omits non binary people.  Part of what makes a "horror" story like this possible is the idea that gender has to be binary. You need to be ALL GIRL or ALL BOY. Even though that's obviously not how people really are.

How much better off so many of us would be if we could grow up with such an understanding! If we could ditch this idea that there is only one right way to be a woman and one right way to be a man.

Not only is this better for trans kids it's better for all of us.

Big Feelings

Whenever it came to class 1-A, Monoma has always been loud, sarcastic, and mocking.

You knew how he indeed was.

You knew he wasn't like that when you got to know him.

No one knew his true self.

You know when you and Monoma would hang out, just the two of you. He was so caring and in tune with your feelings and if you needed anything.

Monona was an excellent cook; he put his whole heart into everything he cooked. So, seeing how some of his classmates would treat him or how others perceived him broke your heart.

You would call Monoma insecure; he wasn't sure how to make friends.

Many kids and adults around him would make fun of him as he grew up.

'We would look like losers hanging out with someone with such a lame quirk.'

'You might as well be quirkless,' Many people would tell him.

Since then, Monona would put on this fake persona and act like someone he wasn't.

Today was the day you were working with class 1-A, and you could feel the energy from Monoma in waves.

It wasn't going to be a good day, that's for sure.

So you thought of a plan.

Instead of Monona making you dinner and dessert. You would make it for him instead.

After training, you quickly ran to the locker room and changed when you saw Monoma waiting for you. You told him some lame excuse.

When you got to the apartment you and he shared, you threw all of your stuff at the front door and went straight to one of Monoma's favorite cookbooks, and you flipped to a random page and just picked something.

Soupe à l'oignon

Is what you decided on. You knew it wouldn't taste as good as Monoma would make it, but the thought counts, right?

So you quickly got to work.

What felt like an eternity and one messed-up kitchen later.

You finished cooking and setting everything up.

The concoction you had made looked good enough, but would it taste good.

"I'm home!" Monona yelled at the front door.

"Do you do this on purpose? Leaving your stuff at the front door?" You could hear his voice get closer.

You stood by the table and waited for him to come in when he stepped over the threshold.

"Surprise!" You yelled. Monona stood there staring at you.

"What's all this?" He asked.

"I thought I would cook you something." You explained. He came over and gave you a smile and a hug.

"It looks delicious. Why don't we sit down and eat, ok?" He told you. You nodded and sat down next to him.

You watched his every move and waited for his reaction.

It was instantaneous. He spits it out.

"What's wrong? Are you ok!?" You asked, panicked.

Monona started laughing.

"It's so not good!" He told you through his hysterics.

You stood up and looked at the recipe again; it then hit you that you used the wrong ingredient and must have misread it.

You dramatically fell to the floor.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to do something nice for you…." You explained.

Monona came and sat on the floor next to you.

"I appreciate the gesture; I do. Why don't we go out for dinner, and we can come back, and then we can come back and clean this up. How does that sound?" He asks.

You looked at him with sad eyes and nodded, standing up and walking out the door to a favorite restaurant you and he enjoy.

give me mai or asami for character bingo or dont ily anyways

totally misread this as "or I won't love you anymore" and was like gonna lose my mind,, lol

anyway of course i did both

so close to bingo but no dice. sad.

anyway rest under a cut because of course I got to explain myself, including asami's

I LOOOOOVE her lolita look. And like, I especially loved how she thought she wouldn't be able to get the manager job with blonde ringlets and she slowly regained her iconic look as she found out oh yes, she's allowed to look however she wants to. Love that for this like, 17 year old girl who KNOWS her style and look so early on in her life.

Anytime the topic of Mai comes up I get an eye twitch because I have such a different understanding of her. She's creepy, she's a stalker, she's weird,, YES AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IS SO FASCINATING. How did a 17 year old land this manager job. She's so cool and mysterious. Also I am sorry the most wrong takes I've teen about her is anything that ships her with Shin. I'm sorry, come on......................................... no

I got crazy every time we get Mai lore and every time we leave with more questions than answers. Also, I think it's wasted potential to not just outright declare her as lesbian (or bi but she's lesbian coded more tbh) because I think it's the queer and outsiders of society that are so drawn to Nana and Blast as a whole. And I'd just be so fascinated to see our conservative girl Nana Osaki be confronted with... Mai's gay for real and has actual feelings for ever.

ok yes I love her but this 17 year old is so mysterious and knows everything that no one else does. Even Yasu is intimidated. I think Takumi would shit his pants if Mai ever got hold of him, she's the most powerful character of the series and I am not joking... that much lol

Every detail we learn about Mai is just like, 50 more questions I need answered. Mai bonus chapter when??

I have issues and aspire to be as mysterious about them as her..

I say her name and my friends are like "oh that stalker girl" and already my hands are around their neck and throttling for the kill. like okay... you're right she's a stalker......... but have you tried thinking about the fact she is also my lesbian lolita daughter??? @mpiggiem I am talking to you bitch............. (jk ilu)

Mai is high on the list of characters I would watch an entire spin-off about. I just need to see her so, so much more.

I'm gonna stuff this girl in my bag and take her away from her unloving family and give her the family she deserves OK

"i'm mentally ill about them" yeah just read everything else I just wrote above and you already know I don't need to expand I already did

Is she perfect? no???? are you????? shut up everything she's done has ultimately made everyone happier over all so like, so like...... over look it. i have.

now........ my queen asami.........................

Look I just think the characters in NANA are all very good looking okay.

I won't say EVERYONE is wrong about them, because I do have friends I see eye to eye on completely (you darling).................. but this one was on thin ice of being dabbed

It's SAD that while Asami remains a sympathetic character... she gets closer to the usual "bitchy rival character" treatment by Yazawa than other characters. I really want to see more explored with her character, especially outside her relationship with Nobu. ESPECIALLY want more from her relationship with Shin because the few tiny nuggets we have there are gold.

You cannot tell me people's anti-sex work feelings aren't completely warping their perception of her. People will love Shin and turn around and hate Asami, but she also was a teenage runaway who ended up in sex work. She just didn't have the members of Blast to help her out in her youth.

Asami deserved so much more than just more screen time but that too. Where the hell she at in the future chapters?? I get that Yazawa doesn't want us to know if she and Nobu are still together or what, but I would be FURIOUS if she completely vanishes from the narrative.

Asami and Miu are SUCH a good duo by which I mean,, for me to watch not for them lol. Also, I still think Asami and Shin should get some duo time.

am i blatantly lying to get bingo by claiming she's done nothing wrong ever? no actually. if being sometimes mean and jealous and desperate for love is wrong then I don't want to be right. it happens!!!!!!!! deal!! with!!! it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

your welcome and thank you 😌

[incarnateirony]

I think asking what you're gonna do if there's no ep13 destiel is fair actually, because you do struggle to admit when you predicted something wrong. If it happens, yay for everyone! If it doesn't, you'll say you never said it would.

Well, that would be fair, if you've found a prediction I've made wrong. Not a lie 2po said I had wrong that I have a receipt I said the opposite. not a vague post saying I got a "spec" post wrong (not sure why you insist on confusing my leaks with spec.). not you getting confused what Rugaru is in french. Not you going GASP, min was just as confused about the finale fuckery as the crew itself while denying the og ending or omissions so you could feel like you won a point. Not memes. Not jokes. Not you incompletely reading a statement. Not you misreading one either. Cuz you guys do that a lot.

You got uh. Something about the marders. Which I have said many times don't care about, isn't spec, and isn't a leak, it's some randos yelling about their hateshipping of cockles in my inbox because I say people are friends and I don't care who they fuck. Someone's brother's sisters cousin? Cool? Like how many times do you fuckfaces need explained that even if you scream it a lot, I don't ship cockles, I don't care, and I don't track anyone's cum spots. I don't give a fuck. You are yelling about irrelevant stalker shit that has nothing to do with how TV is made.

Nonsense shit like that I've admitted I'm wrong on all the time. I've deleted memes and stuff to not spread misinfo over even the silly fan reactions, and been like yeah ok? I was wrong? Because for some reason, you cum guzzlers are so obsessed with my blog you have notifs on it and pay very close attention to my goddamn SHITPOSTS to go "AH HAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE DELETED A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHECKMATE THE UNIVERSE IS FAKE." Bro. it's an instagram shit post. Calm down. It's not that deep, it's not a leak, but I figured out why yall get so fuckin lost so easy, cuz you think that's how leaks work. All you're doing is like. telling me you see cockles fucking in your own heads all the time by the way you're striking out at me talking about *THEIR FRIENDSHIP*.

Find leaks--actual leaks, not spec. Stop twisting that word. Stop pretending I'm talking about things as imaginary as you are. The market testing wasn't imaginary, berens' intent wasn't imaginary, the confession wasn't imaginary, the roadhouse wasn't imaginary, the omissions weren't imaginary, the script being real was not imaginary, the shape of the show was not imaginary, the CW being sold was not imaginary, the 18-49 demographic was not imaginary. These are what leaks look like. Come back to me when you can tell me something like. specific. about leaks. That I've been wrong on. Be clear. Speak up. You act like I get a lot wrong. What is it. I've asked 2po too. Many people asked 2po. 2po refuses to clarify, which is very weird, if I've done it a lot. Nobody can remember the oodles of things you claim I was wrong about, it's super weird. Like you all had a mass stroke and forget to be able to include details of what these are but for sure, This Definitely Happened.

What you're so desperate to scrape the floorboards under the barrel about is "general human error in day to day life", and buddy, that's just sad. For the confused, these are not leaks: Shitposts, memes, fan reactions to funny shit on instagram being posted or whatever, M&Gs (I mean they're leaks in the technical sense, but if I leaked you a taco bell order that's not gonna help you figure out TV).

OK? Great. Now we cleared that up.

Get back to me when you tell me what those Vague Things I Was Wrong About on real shit that actually matters and not your confusion about "instagram memes are not sources about completely unrelated shit that has nothing to do with the leaks or production." You guys are so lost in your j2 tinhat spiral you read everything is tinhatting, you think everyone extrapolates like you, like. This is some wild shit. No dudes, we're not gonna slap war about your imaginary tinhat universe. There's no j2 vs cockles going on here. There's J, J, and a bunch of furious J2 hats trying to make everything shipwar and exposing they've taken enough bluegreen psychic damage they're automatically turning everything into cockles themselves.

Because guess what. That list of shit that was real that you cried and denied?

this is just as real. Figure it out, fuckfaces.

It's over. You lost. Go home.

In the magical world where I'm as big a pretender as you are, and I finally got something meaningful wrong, I'd handle it like the shit listed above. "Okay? I was wrong?" but that's not gonna happen. Because that's not how reality works.

[somelazyassartist]

Thinking about this motherfucker again </3

I ended up going on a bit of a rant but if you want elaboration on what this post is referring to here ya go:

Okay so like,, I know I say this like every time I mention Sylvaire (or Tiana too for that matter) but like. I have seen the reading comprehension on this website and don't want it to be misconstrued and stuff. Also by writing it all down here maybe I'll be satisfied enough to stop feeling the need to explain it and can just point people to this post to know my intentions while writing him lmao. Like, Sylvaire as a character was written to somewhat represent my own abusers as a way for me to help process it, and I'm constantly paranoid that people will misread it as "characters are kind to this abuser throughout the beginning of the story because I the author condone his actions" and not "characters are kind to this abuser because he's very good at hiding his actions so people don't know he is one, and once people finally realize what he's done they all turn on him and he gets the justice that the author never got and is written this way specifically to help give them a bit of closure when they couldn't have it in real life"

But yeah like,, Sylvaire is absolutely irredeemable and I literally hate him so much, but like, the posts that I make that don't directly show that are sort of the point. Drawing him being an adorable nice little kid before he grew up into an abusive asshole is supposed to help show he CHOSE to be an abusive asshole, he wasn't raised to be one and it wasn't his "lycanthrope nature" (in fact both of his parents who were also lycanthropes were lovely and kind people so that throws that excuse right out the window), he started abusing people because he actively made the choice to hurt people for his own gain not just once but repeatedly. Any drawings of him being sweet with Kay and Vikki are supposed to show how good he is at manipulating people; he only started acting sweet so he could keep an eye on them and make sure they didn't find any evidence linking him to their kid's murder, and even when they got into a relationship it was one based on him manipulating them and making them blame themselves for his actions without them realizing he's doing it. Yeah it looks sweet to people who don't know what Sylvaire's intentions are, which is how it seems to Kay and Vikki because a major part of them being manipulated is them not knowing he's manipulating them. Like that's the whole point!! They and most others can't see through his bullshit because he's smart and charismatic and knows how to put on a nice act in front of people! He's only outright abusive to people who he knows he can keep silenced about it because if people know then his fake persona falls apart!

He claims he can't help how he acts and he blames it on his "tragic backstory" but we the audience are supposed to know that's horseshit because he had every option to get help and every chance to not be a shitty person and he had every opportunity to turn his life around and so many people offered him their help and support but he CHOSE not to do any of that because he knew that he could have more power over people if he hurt them and decided he wanted to abuse and extort people for riches and power and decided to repeatedly and happily take advantage of vulnerable people instead of working on bettering himself! And it's not even like turning his life around would be a sacrifice, his family are wealthy nobles, he explicitly DECIDES to hurt people because it makes him FEEL GOOD. That's what separates him from, say, Vicoros, who also had a horrible childhood and did a lot of shitty things because of it- the difference is that eventually he took a look at himself and decided "I'm not going to continue hurting people just because I'm hurt" and yeah he slips up sometimes because that happens, he still has issues with dealing with strong emotions through unhealthy means, he didn't just magically get better- but he made the choice to not actively hurt people when he didn't have to and he worked on bettering himself and finding ways to vent his anger issues in ways that don't directly cause other people harm whenever possible. Both of them have hurt people before, but one of them decided to stop the cycle of abuse as much as he could, while the other doubled down on it even when he had multiple options not to. And again, so so important to emphasize these were DECISIONS, not just things that happened. They CHOSE to do the things they did, for better or for worse.

Okay I'm sorry for rambling and honestly there's a lot more I could say but it's 1 am and I've already written a lot so I guess I'll say whatever else I have to say about them another time lmao

[the-greendalehumanbeings]

The hate Edwina gets is bizarre and fans go overboard with it every time. Like people go all "but we're allowed to dislike her!" no one said you're not allowed to dislike her, but when you go out of your way to whitewash her over a line that has nothing to do with her identity (not to mention insinuating like her and Kate didn't grow up together), repeatedly insult the actress and say the most vile stuff about her for simply daring to explain how she did her job that she was PAID for, you're really not just disliking her. I swear even Simone fans obsess more over Charithra minding her business and doing her work and take any chance they have to make fun of her for any slight detail while they whine about some random Burberry outfit Simone wore. Any time anyone even discusses Edwina it rolls back into hate for Charithra and repeated conspiracy theories about how she's apparently in cahoots with the PR of the show or whatever and that Simone hates her 🙄. And now no one can even mention the issue with this because they go "but what about the hate Simone got??" every time. Like the hate Simone got doesn't absolve you from your weird one-sided issues with Charithra. She's not responsible for any of the hate her costar has gotten, yet everyone is obsessed with making it look like that.

Yup, I think you pretty much summed up everything.

The hatred of Edwina is so bewildering to me because tbh she is given so little to do that there's not much to hate. I'm surprised because I thought more of the complaints would be about her character being boring or flat rather than she's a gold digger who committed hate crimes against Kate. I can understand the former. And the thing is, wilfully misreading a character's actions to hate on them is standard for fandoms. What is vile about hate towards Edwina is the constant white washing identity to prop up a white man and the hatred towards the actress.

Regarding Charithra and Simone, I agree. I have seen so many comparisons of these two (on my dash, no less) about their interview speaking styles, thinking that their pr strategy was somehow indicative of their personalities, skin colour, upbringing etc. People need to stop pretending they know anything real about them. I also don't understand this mentality that people have where if you talk about the racism one person has faced, the immediate reaction is to go 'well, what about x person'. That is not a normal reaction to have. At that point, you (I don't mean you) don't care about Simone or Charithra or racism. You are just using these terms to win an argument rather than caring about these issues. At least be honest about it. 

I don't understand that if these people dislike Charithra so much or think that she doesn't understand her character, then why are they reading/watching her interviews? Why do they spend time worrying about what Charithra is doing? Why are you so hellbent on getting riled up? At least enjoy yourself and focus on the actresses you like, rather than ways to get angry or upset over what CC says. Seriously it is not hard to just ignore the interviews and focus on things that bring you some kind of enjoyment. I mean I dislike Polin and find them incredibly boring so I just don’t waste my time devoting any energy to them at all. 

 The most insane take I have seen is people claiming that CVD and Shonda 'set CC up' for all this hate because they focused on her so much in the promo. Anyone who believes that is an idiot. No one is being forced to say vile stuff about Charithra. Like this fandom is filled with ADULTS. Their reaction to Charithra is completely on them. Grow a spine and take some responsibility for the shit that you say.
