#like i definitely think abt those characters the more

[llumimoon]

Hey psst Calico who are your top 5 fave fullmetal characters?

OMG okay obviously Ling is all the way at the top. And Greed ofc <333 the duo is just to strong to separate. TBH I'm a bit of a Xing girlie, maybe its bc im asian myself and I always get kinda hyped when I see characters that look like me in some way LMAO but I think then it would go Alphonse and Ed?

the fifth one i have a hard time with bc 1. its been so long since I've last rewatched fmab (def need to do that soon) and 2. there r sooo many characters i enjoy but its hard to pick between characters i think are interesting (Roy, Riza, Winry) and characters i want to sink my teeth in and flesh out more myself (Lan Fan, Mei, Lust) Like my top four is pretty solid I'm just uber stuck on that last choice 😭

#cal rambles #fmab #I hope this is good enough lol #OK BUT ACTUALLY #Its been a few years but I remember getting pretty into fleshing out my girlies like what i did with Hero lol #Lan Fan ily <3333 but also girl we gotta get you some self worth #Mei i feel like deserved way more recongition ngl #she did SO MUCH !!!!! #and Ive always loved the Lust and Green r twins theory its so fun #like i definitely think abt those characters the more #but going off the material alone characters like Roy and Riza and Pride and Winry r just Stronger #their stories and motivations and characters r just built stronger #IDK #IM CONFLICTED 😭

Atla live action 😐

#thats my honest reaction 😐 #to be fair ive only seen 20 minutes of the s1 finale bc my parents are watching it but. mmmmm kinda mid #like. the casting is definitely an improvement since the last time they tried a live action but it feels like the writing falls flat #or maybe im being harsh bc ive only heard negative criticism on it beforehand. but fr anytime u bring up the original its already #good and not just because its the original. so much fucking detail went into it to the point of someone noticing azula wielding mai's knive #to how well thought out irohs character is used as a way of uniting the cast especially as zukos foil #i heard that sokkas sexism was toned down and i have to agree that feels like a cheap move. like i get WHY they think it would be better #but its not about how that reflects on real world its about how it affects the story. sokka starts out as a misogynistic asshole because #it makes it that much more impactful when he changes. toning that down makes it flatter and makes his character development weak #and someone pointed out they didnt even make him wear the kyoshi warrior uniform and i know it feels like such a small detail but #come on man. they did that in the original because not only does it help him really walk in their shoes - wearing 'feminine' clothing and #makeup and having suki explain its significance but it also ties in with the shows theme of harmony and intersectionality #i was also disappointed when they had the fire sages explain how the water tribe draws power from the moon because in the original it was #IROH who explained it to aang and everyone else BECAUSE we as the audience is under the impression hes with the 'bad guys' #and it builds up to how he learned from the other nations which reconciles his past as a war general and his character overall #AND its an excellent starting point for the cast and audience to understand how the nations arent as closed off as you would think #plus you would think its only fire nation doing propaganda but they expanded on that with earth kingdom censorship and it WORKS #a lot of things in the live action also feel arbitrary like. they gave momo a near death experience for 5 minutes for no reason #im firmly on the stance of bringing back filler moments instead of putting major events right after each other so that u give your #audience a sense of time passing and to really absorb the story. but i think thats more like shock value than filler and yeah its a small #thing to gripe about but those things build up and its really annoying. the thing abt avatar filler moments is that however small #its at least meaningful. hell even the beach episode emphasizes how isolated zuko and his friends are as child soldiers #i also swore to never watch the first live action since it was that bad but i really liked the stylized tattoos they used for aang #anyway. those arejust my thoughts. im not gonna watch the rest because im a ride or die for the original aftr growing up and #rewatching it at least 20 times as a kid. but theres definitely room for improvement and i wish ppl wouldnt take it as 'better' just cuz #netflix is adapting it. i wouldve killed for them to just reanimate the entire avatar series and touch NOTHING ELSE no redub #no changes to the story. just reanimate the thing and leave the rest alone and youd make easy money just the same #ALSO its very jarring not hearing jack desena and dante basco voicing sokka and zuko cause their voices were the most recognizable to me #i get that its because its live action but im allowed to feel a little sad abt that. and uncle irohs accent was really soothing #yapping

brother where is the charles appreciation

#so dark out here #umm dead boy detectives review here we go! first two episodes were definitely the worst of the series. both are kinda weirdly paced and #the exposition is done poorly in places. overall from episode 3 onwards it gets much much better with pacing and show dont tell #do not understand for the life of me why they made crystal palace american #kassius nelson (<- crystals actress) was very good in places and kinda ehhh in others and im 90% the issue for most of the latter moments #was just that her american accent is not great. sorry they did that to you queen #dialogue was a bit dodge sometimes as well #stuff i liked now! the plot felt quite solid and i really enjoyed the monster of the week approach i think thats the perfect way to #do a dbd adaptation. was a bit annoyed they immediately went to america but port townsend was an interesting setting and all the #supernatural elements/characters fit in nicely #major props cos i feel like the show mostly pulled off the emotionally charged moments without getting corny and the dialogue was generally #good in those moments #particularly charles/crystals heart to heart in ep. 3 and like the entirety of episode 7 (<- ep 7 was brilliant) #overall very fun watch and i feel that the more irritating typical YA show garb was at least a bit offset by them being willing to get #quite dark in places #bit sad people are mostly posting about edwin becos charles was my favourite. has been entertaining watching americans scramble around #the cultural differences in the show #shaking my inbox like a maraca. if anyone wants to talk at me abt the show i will love you forever #.log

Cannot guarantee I'll be quick on it, tbh they might come down to concept pencil sketches in my book than full colored doodles... but would anyone be down for recommending me canon PMD characters to design and make headcanons for, to later fit into my personal PMD/Starfall universe?

No heroes/partners cause I'm already focusing on them. You can recommend anyone from Grovyle to the one Sunkern in PSMD. It'll be canon to Starfall.

#when i say design i mean in the starfall art style where the characters have like differing palletes and sizes and whatnot #some may be tweaked to being fusions if I feel they'd work as them #some characters are gonna be tweaked in starfallverse too. not all of it will matter. really only the gti and super ones do #but its still like my own personal verse. i wanna talk about my interpretations of the other games too cause theyre all canon #like in my psmd interpretation hero is a reincarnation and was adopted by nuzleaf as a baby #and scizor gets more to do in pmd2 #those are some examples. ill definitely just be brainstorming for some of them but thats the nature of this #i want to brainstorm i want character prompts cause im thinking abt the canon games #echoed voice

suddenly remembering how we used to write down conversations between our old host and their "ocs" (see: headmates) during school when we were super stressed out. hmm.

#this is from the same time period that we found out Aerina was from so we were def a system but still an egg #still in that all-systems discord rp server while i was doing this and still clueless 😭 like i think abt that fact so often i am Dumb 😭😭 #but like. we have a few memories of doing this during exams and things. and we had not had our syscovery yet #but like. in those few fragmented memories. i can Tell there's multiple people there #like?? i don't know how to describe how we know if a memory was formed by multiple of us or just one of us #like if multiple people are near front or if it's just one in that memory #and sometimes we can tell OH that was THAT GUY that makes so much more sense now but not often #but we can tell when a memory is from a cofronting time? idk it's weird #these were conversations with the same guys we had after the syscovery though with a few exceptions #sometimes i wonder if it would be a bad idea to try to find all my old fave fanfics of the time to try to unearth some fictives- #we definitely had at least one. i know for sure. from a specific fic #bc we dressed up as one of those fic characters for halloween #it was specifically a fanfic character that guy was not in the canon whatsoever lmao

YAYYY MISHA THEME!!!

MISHA 💖💓🩷❤️💕💖💓🩷💖❤️💖💓💓💖🩷💓

#i loevev them so much did you know that #currently saving up for him and it is HELL after spending it all on sparkel .so many quests and not enough timw ......... #and . ouhhh havent had the chance to talk abt . shit what is it called . lemme go see real quick . #A CHILDS DREAM . yknow that one map with the text on the walls and the melted clocks and stuff . #that was done . SO incredibly well it makes me INSANE........... #so like . im 100.1% sure the speaker (who talks abt mikhail a lot) in that room is misha. #like that IS her voice right . im not going insane #its just . auuh... the dreams (or at least golden hour) in peacony are so childlike .... like . some of the puzzles are jigsaw puzzle ; #turn into a small cartoon character ; and help the cartoon character find his cartoon gears . #and then you get to clockie . who can only be seen by someone w a childs innoence (or smth around those lines) #and that misha can see clockie . which like . cool right ? yeab. UNTIL YOU GET TO A CHILDS DREAM .. #where theres something just ... sososo off . #and its ... its just gotta be misha . its gotta be . idk if theres anything outside of main story im missing (there probably is) #BUT . augh . auf even . #childs dream still has these childlike qualities to it (the paper birds; walking on walls) but just ... more warped #(the general atmosphere of the place; the monsters even .) #the music having a music box to make the tone of the song more distressing ... how its so much more smaller than golden hour .. #aughhhhhh ... its just such a good parallel..... i could talk abt it all day really . #anyways . i WAS going to tell u abt my misha theory (which may or may not be confirmed) bu t i got DISTRACTED. #uhh anyways . my theory is that misha is somehow trapped in peacony . #when misha goes onto the parlor car they mention that theyve never been outside of peacony before and that she can t stay for long . #which i imagine is very normal! BUT its this combined w her lock motif (pupils; most of the doors in childs dream) thag make me suspicious #i mentioned before that golden hour has a very childish quality to it. and that misha has that childish quality. #okay well . what if mishas being kept there so that golden hour can keep on being a dream for other people? #and so that would make golden hour mishas dream. (or part of his dream? could be more people the familys keeping) #and that would imply that childs dream is . well . mishas nightmare . #uhm . i think thats it ..? if i come up w anything else ill . ramble abt it somewhere . definitely not the most eloquent but #i hope i got the point across <33 #i think its an understatement to say i love misha . i LOVE MISHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

now i stopped playing pentiment in the middle of act 2 and just checked wiki articles to see what takes place in the rest of the game so maybe im missing some crucial gameplay that wouldve fixed all my issues but. at the risk of being excommunicated (lol) i was rly disappointed w the games structure and thats why i didnt keep going. dgmw i really enjoyed the setting and most of the gameplay and throughout act 1 i was really invested in the story and mystery and investigation, and the game was really cool in a lot of ways. but. in the end. a mystery/investigation story that doesnt have an answer and whoever you accuse will be found guilty and there is no right or wrong just does not work for me and i can only see it as a poor decision.

yes ik that in the end you can uncover the "big bad" mastermind who provoked the murders, but to me putting a twist villain who isnt the actual culprit but who motivated the culprits in the end of the game doesnt make up for, like, the rest of the game? an investigation story where your investigating is meaningless does not make sense to me. was that the point of the game, maybe? to make me feel like nothing i did in the game mattered and i had no power over the setting? i certainly felt that way at times - in act 2, i felt like i had kind of spent the entire first act playing a role (in the rpg sense - as in it definitely felt as if i got to make a lot of choices about who andreas is, what he values, what his morals are) only for that to not matter at all as in the next act i had to play as someone who had made choices that seemed meaninglessly selfish and was in the uncomfortable situation of apologizing in-character for stuff that the character i had previously been playing as, who i thought i was making meaningful choices as, who i had been trying to make as considerate and kind as possible, would not have done.

i think if the point is that i dont actually have control in this game, not over the main character, not over the events, not even over figuring out the truth, then yeah, i had that impression. but thats not really the game i thought i was playing? i thought i was playing a game where my choices mattered and where i was solving a mystery and that was not the case.

idk. maybe i had specific expectations i shouldnt have had, or maybe i just failed to get something about the game, but despite being very beautiful in its graphics and having a lot of fun stuff and interesting characters.. when i finished act 1 i still thought "fuck, i didnt play well enough, i didnt uncover all the clues i shouldve and i didnt get to the correct conclusion, im gonna need to replay this to figure out who the actual culprit was!"... only to find that actually what felt like i had failed this part of the game was the intended way it would go down, and i even had accused the person who imo was the best choice of culprit.. i feel like getting to the end of an investigation arc with what should have been the most satisfying ending for me and instead thinking i had fucked it up and played wrong is a very unsatisfying way to write a mystery and it put me off enough that im not really interested in doing it all over again just so i can finish the game.

#97 #pentiment spoilers #whatever ig #im sure ppl enjoy that part of it since the games so popular so good for those who like it #but it didnt gel w me at all and i was v bummed out by act 2 #and the game gets compared to pathologic a lot which is ironic i think bc pathologic definitely gives you the impression that #you are not in control and you do not have power in this setting #but. idk. in pathologic it felt like the point. it felt like the message. #here it felt more like a blunder ig? #maybe part of it is like.. yeah the characters were cool and all. but definitely not dimensional enough for me to be like.. #invested enough in them and their life to keep playing once i knew that it didnt even matter what i did in the game #and that i could essentially dick around doing nothing of importance and finding no clues and end up w the same results #hmm also thats actually an unfair comparison im making to pathologic bc while it disempowers you #pathologic DOES very much let you explore the mysteries to a satisfying degree. so thats not the same at all actually #i think pathologic IS very rewarding in allowing you to parse out an understanding of its world even when it is very frustrating abt it. #long post

NO YOU NOTICE IT TOO???? EVERY NICE/OPTIMISTIC CHARACTER IS ALWAYS HEADCANONED AS PAN QND I??? HUH????? Not that there's anything wrong with being pan, I'm mspec myself, but it's ALWAYS the happy go lucky characters and I??? 😭

IT'S,,,.,...,.

#mango-mya #like ig i wanna cut some slack to the very young kids who're doing it bc they're still learning and figuring things out and uhhh yeah #they're gravitating to what makes sense to them n i think lots of them dont have the concept of sexuality fully separated from personalty- #-in their heads yet. bc character tropes and flanderizations and stereotypes are easier to ''get'' #so tl;dr it's easier for them to get p submerged in stereotypes bc they're still new to everything n stereotypes r by definition Everywhere #it doesnt make it less Not Great & they do need to learn better but ik it's not done w like. malice / willful ignorance (mmost of the time) #BUT OLDER FOLKS........

[goldiipond]

at some point when i can gather my thoughts i would like to make an in-depth post (would probably end up being more of an essay honestly) about how tpn treats its characters of color because like. there's definitely a colorism problem with anime/manga in general and i think tpn has some really solid black and brown characters for a medium that is severely lacking in that department but there's also some things it handles poorly and it would be good to explore that i think

#skye's ramblings #idk i think about it a lot like. on one hand you have characters like don who is just. an absolutely wonderful character #never portrayed as overly aggressive and just a really emotional and sensitive person without being infantilized for those traits #the one time he DOES lash out in anger (a very reasonable reaction to the circumstances tht caused it) he's not demonized for it #my favorite character in the whole series after ray if you dont love him yuore wrong #meanwhile krone is an incredibly interesting and well-written character she suffers immensely from being drawn like a fucking caricature #like none of the other characters have this problem and demizu did realize that was shitty and draws her normally now but #it doesn't change the fact that those caricatures are still present in the escape arc and s1 (though the anime is better abt this) #and an especially bad impression considering she's the first significant black character to appear in the series #krone being drawn Like That is definitely the biggest flaw this series has #aside from that lke. phil is really good even if we dont see him much between the first and last arcs #i LOVED ayshe even if she deserved more development (and i wish she didn't have blond hair and blue eyes lol) #zack is a really great character and pepe is the only afro latino character ive ever seen in manga and i love him. also his design fucks #ANYWAY !! ANYWAY. 'i want to make a seperate in-depth post' [writes long tag rant] #saving my thoughts now. but i do have a lot of them

[spider-man-2o99]

Does the run where Miguel had the white suit and said GR’s bike was fuck count as canon?

That would be Spider-Man 2099 v3 (2015)!! It was canon to 616* when it was coming out, but I have no goddamn clue if it still is now, what with how often Marvel decides to entirely reboot 2099 every single time it gets mentioned, nowadays.

(*Marvel 2099 does not take place in the 616-verse. The 90s books are all designated as taking place in earth-928. More rambling under the cut.)

The Miguel we see in this run is very specifically a Miguel who has been stranded in the past (2014) after the events of the Spider-Verse crossover destroyed his present. People have argued for years whether or not this Mig should share a wiki page with the Miguel from 1992. I have no idea where he should go, either.

ANAD Miguel has been pulled from such a point in the timeline of the original '92 comics that the last, uh... eight, or so? issues of his debut solo run have not happened to him, because PAD did not write those issues and did not particularly care to acknowledge whatever the hell went down without him, which if nothing else I respect the inherent humor of.

While SM2099 v3 ends with Miguel finally returning to his correct time period, it is strongly implied that he hasn't quite gone back to exactly the same 2099 as the one that he left.

'Cause... Time-travel stuff. Idk.

#asks #anon #anonymous #spider-man 2099 #spiderman 2099 #miguel o'hara #marvel #fwiw vis-a-vis my own headcanons i honestly tend to think abt the 2010s run(s) of sm2099 more as au books than proper continuations of v1 #it just. is a heavy blow to miguel's character to remove him from his proper context and setting. like. he works best in-situ #if the world is just and there are superheros on-call who can Handle Things then miguel is just Some Guy #and that's literally just how the ANAD runs go. miguel no longer Has to be spider-man so for the most part he isn't because pete's got it #you're taking away his Cause by putting him in the present and it leaves his character directionless w/o an outlet #which is why at least to me those books are so damn BORING #Nothing Happens but not in a fun slice-of-life way it's just Nothing Happens and there's no reason 2 get invested #but. anyways. im getting on a tangent that's definitely a rant for another time #thank u for the ask! :)

[baltears]

also i know this is a hot take but it’s constantly on my mind whenever i read atla discourse. katara does not start out the series emotionally mature. katara starts out the series parentified and traumatized so that she has learned to replicate the behavior of an adult caretaker as closely as she, a child who is NOT an adult, can. there is a very very large distinction between these two things and without realizing that katara is acting from a space of trauma and playing a relatively rigid and simplistic role as a means of coping, you are imo pretty significantly misreading her character and her situation

#she definitely does mature over the course of the series and by the end of the series she's in a much different place #but it drives me up the wall seeing people say katara is the mature one of the group. she literally never has been. #katara is very responsible and very nurturing. those are not the same things as being emotionally mature and having grown into oneself #and there are so so so many instances where it's very clear katara is still a kid. #i think there's even a pretty substantial time in the show where she actually lags behind sokka developmentally #bc he matures pretty quickly and dramatically over the course of season 1 while katara's journey is a lot slower #by the way im Not saying that katara's care for her friends isnt genuine im not saying they dont benefit from her nurturing #and im definitely not saying she's incapable of genuinely acting mature. #what im saying is that you cannot just take these characters at face value &it's important to understand that they all have a lot going on #and i think katara is one of the most misunderstood potentially because people simply don't realize what parentification looks like #and exactly how harmful it is to the child #or how to notice the difference between someone operating in the role of an adult vs someone who genuinely is an adult emotionally #also btw im sorry if the language in this sounds inflammatory i really don't mean it to be. but sometimes atla fandom... is wrong abt things #it's honestly a little hard for me to understand how so many people miss this about her character bc #it's such a huge foundational element to how she behaves basically at all times 😐 #but idk #anyway for reference see sokka literally explaining kataras parentification to toph in the runaway #and being able to express her emotional state and general headspace much more clearly than katara herself can #atla

perhaps the solution would be to, in fact, convert to a multimuse

Just started watching hannibal and i dont see what this guy is doing wrong. as far as i can tell he's just a gay man who loves to cook fancy meals for his friends

#Im enjoying it so far suprisingly! Im not big on crime shows usually bc all of the #A) intense copaganda #B) repetitive/boring narratives #C) graphic & often fetishistic depictions of violent crimes against women #And i mean hannibal does hit A and C-ish but the story is sooo so fascinating esp the dynamic btwn hannibal/will/abigail #They are sick and twisted #Will is interesting autistic rep as well im glad they leaned into the hyperempathy thing bc that shit SUCKS #and no one ever talks about it bc if you call yourself highly empathetic you sound like such an asshole. #but like it can genuinely be dangerous esp. for women bc it makes us more trusting & therefore more vulnerable to manipulation/abuse #I don't know how to judge the copaganda yet since ive only watched s1. So far its like. #The fbi is generally accepted as a force of good. criminals are all those regular people! And the fbi agents lock the bad guys up! #We'll add a throwaway line abt how law enforcement are among the most likely to be serial killers #And we'll have one of our FBI agents be framed for murder #but dont worry hes still one of the good guys. He works for the fbi how could he not be?! #Im oversimplifying things ofc. the characters are portrayed as flawed human beings and thus the bureau is shown to make mistakes #But as of right now the show had not explored the systemic issues w/ law enforcement #I hope this will change bc i think that would elevate the story so much #And from where I'm at in the story there's definitely a way for the story to move forward with this perspective (mostly with will's arc) #But this is american network television so. i have my doubts #Regardless it is super interesting to analyze this show (if you could not tell by my tag essay that barely scratches the surface) #lots to chew on for sure #<- im sorry i couldnt resist #hannibal

[fagoutboy]

sorry hold on. are people valorizing the past so strongly these days that now ppl think old fandoms were BETTER? like im sorry i really think the problem is just that you arent 12 anymore

#being a kid and not thinking abt the deeper implications of strange things ppl were doing at the time definitely makes it so #that you view that era as different from how you look at fandom spaces now when you DO think about those things #like. you do just have more fun as a kid thats just true. the reason youre not having fun is because u pay rent and have to use your brain #old tumblr fandom didnt care about incest or otherwise gross things to include in their ships. fucks sake when i was into spn in 2014 #one of the most popular ships was michael/lucifer. and i mean POPULAR like im not exaggerating even a little it was huge #and obviously we all know about The Other One but ppl seem to think it was niche/just weirdos doing it. No it was normal too #i mean i didnt partake but like. no one really said anything about it. and when ppl were definitely treating certain characters badly #(black people/women usually) that was always ignored and went completely uncriticized. like fandom spaces WERE BAD #and also were SO FUCKING STUPID. Like ppl doing the vapid shipping shit nowadays are not new even a little #those 'x reacts to you being pregnant' joke posts everyone makes now? Those used to be real and genuine. and there were A LOT. #Like im sorry guys fandom has just always sucked we need to just accept that. fandom is always stupid and always bad #txt

I want to make a post analysing mai & ty lee’s appearances in return to omashu but idk how to word things. hatred and rage

#uhh ​just pretend this is a post like that instead #convo between mai & ​michi hint at family dynamics (father patriarch career important. mai told to suck it up. value affluence & power) #ty lee comment iroh knows he’s a lot more than just ‘funny’ & hides his intellect (takes one to know one). iroh (sexist) wouldn’t realise #the same about her #way ty lee agrees to go w azula (spiritual nonsense) very telling for her character #flaws in azula’s relationship w mai way more subtle than those in her relationship w ty lee but definitely there. force her to give up #her brother #different interpretations ​ty lee comment abt zuko. figure out if she has crush or know she doesn’t (in which case deliberately mean to mai) #either option under azula’s nose #‘please tell me you’re here to kill me’ yes morbid sense of humour but also tell azula she doesn’t value her life (‘azula can shoot all the #lightning she wants at me…’) so she can’t use it against her/threaten her (the way that did work with ty lee #(bc unlike mai ty lee does value hers; survival even main motive during show)) #<- those are the notes from my notes app. uhh figure it out ig #I did end up making a post abt that last one #*second to last I mean #elli rambles #ohh wait can’t forget this one: #the way mai runs. something’s wrong with her I think 💞💖 #jupiter rewatches atla

#he is a Revolutionary war ghost who is simply alive in this life time but directly served under the general in war era #and got killed by a friend in the line of duty #i just think hes interesting i love him hes so fun to play with and write for #and hes amoral but has a very strong opinion abt morals thats so hypocritical for him to preach when hes a #thief. a beggar and a liar and a cheat and did everything in his power to steal station and rank and land to get ahead #and didnt actually care about the war itself but about the general and saving his people on his islands outside of america #and never got to save them but is content in knowing he did his best in that alone #and he did his job well in defending and standing up and EMBODYING to the public a strong willed and good hearted man #he definitely is but he will do anything to gain what he feels he needs in life at the end of the day fr himself and family #like for example hed do everything he could during war times to eat bc he was so hungry and would steal from other camps and civilians just #to satisfy his need with no regard for those people's lives or hunger #In his mind he did it to survive but as time went on and they got more supplied and he didnt need to steal or hoard he just never stopped #he needs to be managed and contained like a controlled burn #all wild passion and hunger and drive with nowhere to put it except explosive fits of passion that seem nearly unnatural in nature #hes so outgoing and kind but a hugely morally conflicted character with his own desires and goals #never knowing when hed next overstep some mortal boundry he never connected with even while human and in touch with his better virtues #plus: trans + intersex rep! hes intersex and identifies as boyflux. had top surgery etc #and he's bisexual #but has a very intense obessive love for his General that nobody has ever stepped between so far despite it being mostly (..mostly) #unrequited thus far #luciel tag #oc tag #edith project #art #furry #persona #707.txt
