#I found him in the woods while camping like 2 n a half weeks ago #i didnt have a car so we just. chilled out together in my mom's trailer while i waited for someone to pick us up #& now i love him too much to give him away #he's just a little guy. a little man. just a little boyman #i already bought him a little fountain & he has a bed & toys & 2 litter boxes & he loves dirt #might name him dirt. or mud. maybe dirtball or mudball #an homage to my late boy Fireball #only bad thing about all this shit is that literally as soon as I said ''found another kitten in the woods'' in the groupchat #everyone was already deciding who's keeping him & what his name is & all that #like I'm not even involved at all #also the kitten cant eat anything but soft food right now. he cant even eat softer treats #but he's eating & he's mostly getting along with Ben & he's really interested in the fish tank #he runs around like a crazy person too. between my room & the animal room. just bookin it #at top speeds #he loves ikea rats too. might get him a really big ikea stuffy just to see what he does #another problem is he loves sugar cookies so that's gonna be a problem. he was trying to eat my lemon sugar cookies #i havent had kittens in 18 years btw #man the more i look at him the more i cant imagine giving him away #ive lived without a cat for too long duuude i need him #he made me lose a few Splatoon games today but I forgive him #he is just a little baby boy & he trusts me enough now to pick him up & kiss him on the face & swing him around #for reference the first time i tried to pick him up he bit & scratched the shit outta me #he does the same to everyone else too. except me. because cats think im cool #& also I know cat language #currently the boy is in the animal room playing with toys & also his litter box. because litter is so fun to throw #anyway i just wanted everyone to see him. have you seen him? now you have :)

As long as you're not a cdream apologist/dreblr you're OK in my books i guess /not prev anon

dreblr isn’t some secret evil coven, it’s just a loose collection of c!dream fans with a wide variety of differing (and sometimes contradictory) opinions on the lore.

i’m not a c!dream apologist but i’m def a part of dreblr! tbh it’s been one of the best fandom experiences i’ve ever had. ppl are super welcoming and kind, and there are tons of great writers and artists. i’m happy to be here.

#asks #like…we don’t even all agree with each other about c!dream stuff #but we keep it chill y’know #EDIT: i think another thing i should maybe also mention is that I'm not involved in dtblr or any other CC-focused spaces #i don't support cc!dream (<- personal decision of mine that's not up for debate)

"MegaMan.WAV consists of how many megabytes?"

I chose to take my ol' "WAV/wave" joke very literally today.

In those three's defense, having two complex bodies active in Lan's PET seems like a lot of space. So out of pure boredom (and a hint of morbid curiosity) they decided to do whatever this is.

Once again there are layers-on-layers of jokes I've already made smooshed into this.

Anywho yeah, those two are fine, it'll just take a while. I firmly believe their EM Wave Form can be very free-flowing if they allowed it.

#I was gonna go even further and say they even went from WAV to MP3 but I don't think they'd be coming back normally after that ;; #now as to how those three managed to pull all this off while hub had his back turned who will ever know #lan is secretly a genius (or something) #doodle-daas #comics #operate shooting star #(unless it involves a different setting I'm using that tag for anything solely with these 4) #megaman exe #megaman.exe #rockman exe #hub hikari #saito hikari #lan hikari #netto hikari #geo stelar #subaru hoshikawa #omega-xis #warrock #(but like... in EM WAV form aha I will leave now)

“we need more m/f friendships in media that stay platonic due to heteronormativity that’s rooted in homophobia/aphobia plus women and men can actually be good friends without romance” and “having m/f romances aren’t inherently bad especially if the people involved are fat, disabled, neurodivergent, and/or people of color because queer people aren’t the only marginalized group that need to be represented” are two statements that can and should coexist.

husk vs the vees social experiment completed

(val poll)

(vox poll)

(velvette poll)

some notes:

when I found the val poll, husk was already in the lead

there was a short period of time where it was fluctuating between a husk or val lead in the val poll, the highest val got to was 50.5%

val went through multiple rounds of reblogs calling to vote val as well as essays arguing in his favour but still lost

there was never a point in time where vox was losing in his poll

I did not ever reblog with any propaganda or called for anyone to vote vox in the vox poll

the velvette poll started with velvette in the lead, then progressed to a period of time in which husk was in the lead, velvette then retook the lead after a couple reblogs with propaganda

the val poll has the most reblogs at 76 compared to vox (15) and velvette (20)

the velvette poll has around 150-170 less votes than the other two

I started the vox and velvette polls in an attempt to see if there was any bias involved in the voting for the val poll, made for an interesting social experiment

do you think there's bias involved? or do you think the results are completely fair based on what we've seen of the characters so far?

#osrs.txt #I REMEMBERED TO COMMENT ON THE RESULTS #I think there are SOME fair points but I can't be convinced that there really isn't any sort of bias here involved #I understand vox's powers seem more combat based but even then I feel like there shouldn't be THIS big a gap between him and val #I'm more under the impression the vees are all pretty equally matched in power #the vees #hazbin valentino #hazbin hotel valentino #valentino #valentino hazbin #hazbin vox #hazbin hotel vox #vox #vox hazbin #hazbin velvette #hazbin hotel velvette #velvette #velvette hazbin #hazbin husk #husk hazbin #husker #hazbin hotel #hazbin polltel

Lucid Dreamer (2/2)

part 1

Gepard stalls almost a week before he finally goes out to the safehouse, and it takes him a couple days to find it because Sampo didn't have the time left to be wasn't super specific about the location. But he does find it.

It's pretty bare bones, really. Gepard knows that was probably to be expected, but… It feels crushing, when he realizes there are so few personal things here. It's nothing specific to Sampo. Just some food, some medical supplies. A cot and a heater and a lot of mismatched blankets. Nothing to remember someone by.

But he does find the letters, in a metal box stashed away under the bed.

There are two for him. Three for Natasha, and two for Seele. One for Hook, one for Serval, one for Pela, one for Bronya.

Bronya's is mostly business. They knew each other from the whole Stellaron incident, but not much beyond that, and the incoming catastrophe is a more pressing matter. Seele's is actually two copies of the same letter, and Gepard realizes why when Seele is so angry she rips the first one up without reading it. He gives her the copy a couple days later, and she slinks off without a word.

Pela seems completely normal after hers is delivered, but Gepard knows better than to trust that. The next day, he finds her asleep in bed with Serval, bottles abandoned on the floor, both their eye makeup smeared and running and Pela's glasses horribly smudged and crooked on her face. Serval doesn't read hers in front of him, but she's clingy with Gepard, Pela, and Lynx for quite a while after. She throws herself into her work a lot. She insists the heater from the safehouse is busted and she needs to keep it. It's too dangerous for use by someone who's not an engineer. Might burn their house down or something. Gepard doesn't argue.

Hook's letter is short, with easy to read words. The rest of it is actually a treasure map, and she and the moles spend the next several days running through the Underground, finding hidden candy and toys. Hook asks them when Sampo is coming back, because one of the marbles she found from his map looks green, just like his eyes, and she wants to give it to him. Natasha shoos Gepard out of the clinic before he can even begin to think of an answer.

Natasha refuses to let him see what's in her letters, which ok, fine, he'll respect that. He hears from Bronya who heard from Seele who heard from Natasha herself though that one of the letters was a map and the other a catalogue, with all of Sampo's hidden "warehouses." Gepard promptly marches himself back out to the frontlines, where he can turn a blind eye. If a ton of stolen goods suddenly enters the black market, and if the orphanage and the clinic suddenly have new supplies, well, technically that's none of his business.

Gepard goes to bed, curls up under mismatched blankets and closes his eyes.

He doesn't dream.

One of Gepard's letters was also business, like Bronya's and Natasha's. He and Bronya follow everything meticulously, down to the letter, because there has to be some good to get out of all this, there has to be. Gepard can't let it all be for nothing, it would bury him.

And so the catastrophe passes. Not without casualties, and not without a lot of damage and destruction. But Belobog survives.

And after that, time just kind of…goes on. Gepard has been a part of the Silvermanes since he was old enough to enlist. The Fragmentum had gotten so much worse in the years before Welt sealed the Stellaron. He knows the statistics, it is literally his and Pela's jobs to keep track. He knows when he sees a face everyday in the camps and then it's suddenly gone. He's not unfamiliar with things like grief and loss.

He still catches himself checking the trashcans and the supply crates and soldiers' footprints sometimes, though.

But there comes a night where Gepard goes to bed, holding the mismatched blankets to his face, and he dreams. And it's strange, it's off, it sticks with him. Sampo doesn't look the same. He's thinner. His muscles have atrophied. He looks like how Gepard has seen soldiers after months in the hospital.

The most unsettling difference is there's a scar across the left side of his head, Gepard can see it over his ear, peeking out past his hairline, carving towards his cheek. Sampo is always careful about his face. Gepard once saw him dodge a Fragmentum monster and literally let it cut across his neck just to keep his face clear. He wouldn't let that happen for nothing.

Their actions in the dream itself aren't new. Sampo seems tired, run down and worn out, but he announces his presence with aplomb by lobbing a bunch of smoke bombs off the rooftops and sending his soldiers scrambling. Same shit, different day.

The new part is what he says when Gepard chases him out to the edges of the camp, tackles him into the snow. Gepard pins him to the frozen ground to detain him and Sampo doesn't even fight it, just looks up at him like he's seeing sunrise for the first time in months.

"I'll be home in one week."

posts I've seen recently that i like and agree with but just don't have the balls to reblog because the potential of inviting a blog curse is too real:

1) Steven universe was a good show and the level of hate was weird

2) fuck astr*logy

#the desire to be public with opinions vs the fear of weird anons #m2a #with Steven universe i had absolutely zero fandom involvement or interest so it's all stuff i hear second hand after the fact #i never even finished future. because I'm a ghoul who drops good shows for no reason when my attention span fails. #so as someone who just like. watched a show. hearing the reasons it was 'controversial' is outright ridiculous #as for astr*logy yeah fuck that shit

[childrenofthesun77]

...okay, so I'm probably not the first person to notice this.

But gear's earing that he points towards when he says that he did the same ritual he wanted to help kuro with already on himself before:

actually looks pretty similar to the pieces of the necklace the count used to create the servamps:

The different pieces of the necklace seem to contain one demon each and the count used them to create the servamps.

So...did the count either learn this technique from the werewolves or is he possible even originally a werewolf himself? It would explain why he's immortal, that's why I'm wondering about this.

Gear says that the ritual is used to remove spirits, could it be that the count removed his own sins using the werewolf ritual and created the demons this way? But he went too far and removed too much unlike gear who only removed one part of himself? Him removing the sins from himself would also explain why he's so weird and doesn't understand other beings. As the sin demons say, they are a natural part of being a human and we have seen multiple times that denying their existence is harmful, removing them all from you would probably lead to you not being able to relate to other people anymore.

Maybe removing all these parts of himself is also why he has no appearance. Without his demons he's not a person anymore.

The count originally being a werewolf would also explain why he has magical abilities (gear can also use magic) before other magicians existed and why he's so anxious about certain people dying. Gear talks about how his immortality makes him sad because human friends do die, but unlike the count gear seems to accept death, grieves in a heathier way than the count and is able to move on and make new friends. Could also explain why his magic and creations are all strongly tied to the (full) moon.

Another similarity is that while werewolves apparently can't reproduce gear was able to have descendants by sharing his life force (it's mentioned in chapter 135 which isn't translated yet) with a woman and through her human children tsurugi is related to gear. Sigurd explained to nicco that the magicians came to be because the count let humans drink his blood, three survived, got magical ablities and became the ancestors of all human magicians:

Maybe the count is more of a werecat though. He and the sloth demon do seem to have a closer connection, even though the count's appearance changes depending on the person looking at him he does usually keep his tail and the tip looks exactly like the one of kuro's cat/lion form and similar to the the one of inner sloth's non-human form.

It was also stated multiple times that the sloth demon is the strongest. I wonder why that is. Servamp comments on the fact that being lazy is often actually a sign of depression/anxiety through kuro's arc, so maybe the count was depressed and that's why the sloth demon is the strongest? Basically the demons strength depends on how much the count suffered from the different sins? It would also explain why melancholy is so strong, I assume kuro refusing to see him no matter how many siblings he sent his way to tell him to come looking for the count made him extremely sad and probably even made him come up with the plan to have himself be killed and then put in the same body as kuro through the ritual.

I assume he was behind C3 ordering the servamps to kill him because he's the one who created the magicians and thus C3 and lily who is kind of working for him was probably the one who put the idea that the count needed to be killed into the head of his eve (aka a member of the alicein family who hold a lot of power in C3 basically since the beginning. I explained this in more detail in another post). The people from C3 even said that the count can only be killed if he wants to and yeah, kuro didn't truly kill him, but he did destroy his body and kuro seems to have met little resistance when he attacked the count. Which probably means the count wanted this to happen.

#servamp #...if the servamps/demons all came from the count and the magicians are all basically the descendants of the count #does that mean this truly is all just a huge family conflict #since basically everyone involved is somewhat related to the count?😅 #Sigurd says he's related to one of the three people who drank the counts blood #I'm still wondering if mahiru is special because he might have the blood of all three bloodlines #and C3 has a rule in place that forbids all three bloodlines from crossing #probably put in place by the count or lily #and that's why akira told nobody who the father of her child was #I still like my absolute crack theory that because mahiru might have “more” of the counts blood in him that he has no fixed appearance eith #But because he's so normal everyone perceives him as normal so nobody noticed until now that mahiru looks slightly different to all of them #honestly it would explain/excuse some questionable choices made by characters who as far as we know should be good people #Like why akira didn't tell anybody who the father was #why tooru tried to avoid being seen with mahiru in school by always saying he's to busy #Why tooru told mahiru not to tell the secret to anyone else #and why mahiru was raised as mundane as possible and as far away from C3 as possible #even why tooru kept his work for C3 secret from mahiru even after mahiru made the contract #and why he still didn't tell him the name of his father #If people know your relatives they start comparing you to them #If people knew that touma was mahiru's father they might expect mahiru to look like him #If people only knew mahiru was related to akira and tooru they would expect him to look like them #If people at school only knew mahiru but never met tooru before mahiru's appearance to them might be too different from tooru #Touma saying mahiru looks exactly like tooru doesn't disprove this crack theory either btw #Touma sees mahiru as tooru 2.0 and he's not 100% convinced he's actually mahiru's father so mahiru appearing as a copy of tooru makes sense #Just like mahiru would perceive himself as looking like akira and tooru because those are the only close relatives of his he knows #Sorry but I'm having too much fun with this crack theory #the twist that raising mahiru as the “ordinary high school student” was all a plot by his family #to keep people from noticing that they don't actually agree on what he looks like is too funny to me

Hickory is my favorite Trolls character, not because of his canon (all he did was flirt with Poppy, have a scene with the Smooth Jazz troll, and then have a liar revealed moment. Every other second he was vibing) but because of the grip he has on fans. I think I've seen about a dozen characters shipped with him, and I can see every single one of them as being canon.

#trolls world tour #hickory trolls #i'm. utterly confused by him #this troll isn't even a real country troll! he's a damn poser! #how does he have such incredible cowboy rizz! #Let's see how many ships involving him i can name off the top of my head #Poppy; Branch; Rock!Poppy; Rock!Branch; Delta Dawn; John Dory; Floyd; Creek; Chaz; King Trollex; and self ships of course #i'm convinced all of these are canon at the same time and he's just collecting date mates like pokemon #he rolls up to a random town and four trolls whip around at once like '':D my boyfriend's here!''
