#me and every character ive grown attached to

[ponett]

First New Years Eve anon here! I finished SLARPG after playing it any chance I could get. Literally everything I said held true or got better as the game went on. What a solid game, I felt the love in every moment.

Partway through, I got to wondering what it's like to finish a years-long project. I'm in the process of something like that, and I can't imagine life after The End, so your anniversary reflections post caught my eye. It felt like a future me had written it in a startling amount of ways. (Marketing is so hard ;_;)

A part that really stuck with me is how you described the story growing along with you. There were a few parts toward the beginning that felt distinctly mid-2010s (not in a bad way), but the narrative felt so cohesive that I would've assumed it was planned to the letter. As someone in a similar position, it's comforting to know there was some wiggle room. There's so much more I could say, but maybe not right now.

Wishing you your version of success!

thank you!

making sure the story felt cohesive was definitely tricky since the game was in development for so long. i mean, i knew the broad strokes of the story from the start, including the fact that it would get more serious as it progressed. That Sequence at the end of act ii was planned as a pivotal moment in the game since, like, 2015. but a lot of the back half of the game was only written after the demo was released in 2018, and my creative priorities shifted a lot in that time. so it took some work to make everything line up

i was still tweaking individual lines of dialogue in the script like, days before launch - particularly stuff earlier in the game that i was no longer quite as happy with, just to make sure everything fit together well enough and that things didn't come off as too dated. there are still a few jokes in act i where i'm like "ehh, that isn't as funny as i thought it was in 2016." but what can you do? that's just the linear progression of time for you

actually, if anything, before release i was worried that people would be put off by the darker and more dramatic elements of the game after i'd originally pitched it as being so goofy and lighthearted and cute. i had to fight the urge to insert more jokes into act iv out of a fear that people would get bored if the game stopped being funny, and i worried that people who had already grown attached to the characters through the demo and other preview material would get mad at me if i put melody and friends through the wringer. but thankfully people have responded really well to the more dramatic stuff, and the arc of the game as a whole, like i hoped they would

i'm extremely happy with how slarpg turned out overall, but if i was to write the story today, at age 30, i'm sure a lot of the writing would have turned out different. which is why the new thing i've been kicking around ideas for will probably be more mature and dramatic from the start. but we'll see

Your Best Friend (Sun/Moon/Eclipse & Child!Reader) [Headcanons]

Rules For Requesting

Characters I Will Write For

Masterlist

Summary: General meeting, friendship, and attachment headcanons for The Daycare Attendant with a child reader.

Extra Info: Sun and Moon share bodies, just like in the game. If I mention them talking to each other, they're talking with their shared consciousness.

Sun:

Sun can usually tell when someone new joins the daycare. If he doesn't hear the obvious audio clue of the ballpit, he'll have a sensor that will go off so that he's notified. Every time Sun gets a notification, you can almost see his built-in smile grow wider. A new friend!

As a child new to the Pizzaplex, entering the daycare for the first time was terrifying. I don't think the current horrible reputation on the Fazbear company helped one bit. The animatronics were definitely scary, you didn't need to know that there was a chance you could go missing because of them.

But the daycare had attendants, so that calmed your nerves. Slightly. Until you realized, they too were animatronics. The statue in the entrance of the daycare was massive compared to you. You suddenly wished that you hadn't accepted that birthday invitation.

Sun immediately goes in to meet you! He's practically radiating happiness onto you, skipping to where you were. He's definitely very intense when first meeting you, waving to you like a maniac. You eventually find yourself getting used to his upbeat energy, agreeing to do most activities with him that he brings up. This includes making macaroni art, crudely put-together paper pals, and a few drawings that he's sure to hang up in his room afterwards.

The security officers seem to catch on over the next few weeks how Sun has grown attached to one child. It pretty much went against his code, as he was supposed to be keeping a watchful eye over all the kids, not just one. But the officers at Freddy's get paid minimum wage, so they don't really care about the two of you unless they've got a lawsuit on their hands.

If you were ever feeling down, he'd immediately try to cheer you up. He will spend the entire day with you if he needs to! He may be intense, clingy, and won't let you out of his sight for a mere 2 seconds, but he's got good intentions. Sun hates seing children sad, and the one thing he knew how to do best was cheer them up. Whether this be silly faces, drawings, or hide n' seek, he always had something new to distract you from the little raincloud utop your head. However, Sun knows he can be a bit chaotic at times. If you want him to, he'll give you space. Sometimes, kids just need calm, and that was definitely not his strong suit.

Sun tries not to have "favorite" children, but he couldn't deny he was growing a bit attached. You were enjoying his company anyway, so why should he have to stop? You seemed much less nervous around him aswell, so as far as he knew, he was doing the right thing. A new term had suddenly seemed to form in his memory bank: "best friend".

Moon:

Now, Moon definitely caught you off guard. You had grown so used to Sun's warm, exatatic nature, that when the atmosphere to the daycare had a sudden chill, yet calming feel to it, you immediately thought something was wrong.

Given this, you met Moon when, apparently, Sun was going under.. technical support of some kind. You didn't know the full extent to the details, but what you did know was that Sun was gone, and in replacement, Moon took over both the day and night shifts. You watched as the kids in the daycare scrambled around, some trying to hide, and some just trying to get all their energy out before Moon came out for the night shift. You had intended to just stay away from him in a random corner, since most kids seemed afraid of him, but with the "night" shift coming up, you really had no way to avoid him.

Moon wasn't in the mood for hide n' seek. Not like Sun usually was. He recognized that he had a job to do, so if anything, he'd get it done. He did enjoy working for kids--it was in his code, after all--but this didn't distract him from his work. As most children were, you were scared of him at first. Moon normally just forced the kid to go to bed, either with a Moondrop candy, or tame threats like time-out. But you seemed.. different. He didn't want to be seen as mean, not to you. Instead, he tried to gain your trust by telling you that he was friends with Sun, assuming you were more favorable towards Sun.. again, as most kids were. Surprisingly, he was right to assume.

You, on the other hand, were thrown completely off guard. For the most part, you had thought Moon was this mean, strict, and harsh version of Sun--as you've heard from other children. But instead, you found him to be much more calming, if anything. Maybe the kids just hated having to tone down their energy, that when someone forced them to, they grew naturally afraid of them. That was your reasoning, anyway.

Unlike Sun, Moon is more of a "denier" than anything. He had things to do, and didn't need things getting in the way. But you were different. You weren't a distraction--no, far from it. He wouldn't admit it, but as Sun did, he grew attached. Out of all the kids he's taken care of during his career, you were definitely the calmest. Your presence is.. nice.

If you're going to anyone for comfort, it's Moon. This is if Sun didn't manage to cheer you up previously. Moon's version of comfort was more of quiet, small ambiance, plushies, blankets, and pillows. Sometimes storytimes! That's one method the two had in common. So if you ever have trouble sleeping when nap time comes around, Moon may or may not give you special treatment to ensure you sleep soundly. This means absolutely everything I just listed above for comfort.

He soon discovered what it was like to spend the whole day with you. He'd now ask Sun every now and then if he could take over the day shift for him. At first Sun denied, that would mean less time with you! But, if he made it equal..

Sun made a somewhat "deal" with Moon, where they would now just take days instead of shifts. This.. didn't look good to the staff, though. Instead of making them go back to their shifts, though, they would make sure they both got what they wanted. And in the staff's eyes, what the shared animatronic wanted was to each have both shifts. Not too far off.

Eclipse:

A day passed one day, where neither Sun or Moon was watching over the daycare. In replacement were just the.. extremely creepy staff bots. You began to grow worried--if he'd ever come back again. Luckily, you only had to wait a day.

The day he came back, the animatronic was.. new. Different. You tried to listen in on the clumps of children's conversations--listening until the words blended together to form the name "Eclipse". The name definitely made sense for their character.

To say you were ecstatic would be an understatement. You were practically as happy as Sun was when he first met you! Eclipse was everything you could ever want--it was both of your best friends put into one personality, one animatronic. But if anyone was more excited than you, it would be Eclipse himself. One thing that was different now was his ability to tone his excitement and clinginess down. With the two brought together, their personality fell on a balance.

Meeting you was much less of a shock for him as it was for you. You liked the new look, though. As soon as Eclipse caught your eye, he immediately skipped over to squeeze you in a tight hug. Don't worry, he tried not to squeeze too hard. Even if you were confused at first, you warmed up to him quickly. You noted his voice as he spoke to you for the first time. Not too frantic like Sun's, yet not too quiet like Moon's. Something about it was.. comforting. Which leads me to my next topic.

Eclipse is the best source of comfort you can get. He can most likely tell if you're having a bad day. If you ever feel overwhelmed/overstimulated at the daycare, he'll take you to his room for the first time. If he's being honest, he's never really shown anyone his room before--until now, that is. You immediately fell in love with the room! You would ask to go there more often, and on some days, stay in there the entire day. Eclipse didn't mind, though! Anything to cheer you up, after all.

Eventually, your birthday will come around, in which Eclipse goes all out. He didn't truly expect you to visit the daycare on your birthday--he had figured you'd like to see the Glamrocks instead, but no! Eclipse was honestly so honored that you'd want to spend your birthday with him of all animatronics. With this in mind, he tries to make today the best day of your life! The best day for you in the daycare, at that. He won't go too overboard, but he will spend all his time having fun with you. Eclipse would schedule activities to do, such as macaroni pictures, creating puppets to be used in future puppet shows, and if he's feeling nice enough, he'll sneak in some FizzyFaz into the daycare. When the day starts to near an end, he'll take you backstage to his room, where he has fully decorated the small spot with birthday balloons, banners, strings, and small gifts scattered across the floor. In the center was a.. poorly made cake. Eclipse was only an animatronic after all, his coding didn't have any baking intelligence in his mainframe. It was the thought that counted.

Going home afterwards was definitely a challenge, though. You were practically dragged away from the daycare, and Eclipse had never felt more flattered. On your drive back, you had discovered that you had a new best friend. Animatronic or not.

Epic the musical Catifed: I remade Penelope’s Ref!

AAAAGHH DJDHFJRHJDHSHD OKAY OKAY, so Ive been meaning to redo her ref for quite some time now, and it happens that I’ve been stressed enough lately to draw her! She’s literally one of my very top comfort characters for me right now, to be fair all of my comfort characters are extremely important but for this situation I’m in right now the comfort I need is from people like Penelope or Willow (from Wings of Fire).

anyways this ref has really helped me decompress and calm down, drawing Penelope has made me feel so safe and secure, literally I love Penelope in Epic so much.

I looove how she is in Epic the musical? Idk I feel more drawn towards her and more interested in her then the Penelope in the Odyssey.

though I guess in general when I say “I love -insert character who appears in EPIC” I’m usually talking about specifically the interpretation of Epic. Though I do have a genuine interest in Greek mythology and I want to get into more media that’s about it, the specific characters I’ve grown attached to are the musical ones!

like- people need to understand that Epic isn’t just “the odyssey as a musical” it’s a transformative retelling! And in many ways is it’s own story.

like- I think everyone can Agree that Ody in epic is a lot more nicer and moral then Ody in the Odyssey,

they literally aren’t the same character, and I hate when I see people bash on Odysseus in Epic because of their opinions of him in the odyssey.

Don’t get me wrong I LOOVE LOOVE the Odyssey and Iliad and other Greek myths but that’s simply just not the fandom I’m apart of.

Yes, Epic is still based on the Odyssey and a retelling of it, but it’s still Separate, and people shouldn’t act like it isn’t or act like what happens in EPIC reflects onto the odyssey. Like- don’t say “oohh but Odysseus isn’t that bad because in Epic-“ Stop. Don’t say that.

if you see them as separate from eachother then it shouldn’t matter to you people’s takes of the characters in the Odyssey because they aren’t the same as in EPIC. And really that goes for everything?

I’ve seen people bring up PJO(somehow???) a lot or that Circe book (literally don’t know the name of it) in regards to Epic and say “but in this!” Like- dude they are literally different retellings and interpretations it’s not like every Greek mythology story is connected or idk- canon to the Original Myths??? And don’t get me wrong you can make crossover AUs! I honestly LOOOVE seeing all of the PJO x Epic things I see!

but anyways stupid ramble over, I LOOVE LOOVEE DESIGNING PENELOPE! AAGGHHDHDHD I wanted her to appear very regal and well kept, she is a queen after all. But further more Penelope in Epic is a character who isn’t much of a physical fighter, rather she stands back and watches with calculating eyes and prudence. She has an unwavering will and a strong composure in the face of 108 nasty Suitors. She’s wise and clever. With all of this I wanted to give her more lengthy and soft features, as Penelope is someone many don’t expect to expertly win a battle with wits. She simply just seems to be the face of royalty. But I also gave her a strong long/thick tail to show her strength, she absolutely can beat the shit out of you with that tail, but she won’t. Because she doesn’t need to, since she has other more “civil” methods of wits to break you down. but in general EPIC Penelope is more reserved and calm, she doesn’t need to gaslight you or manipulate you, she just needs to trick you. She’s understanding and gentle, yet serious and worried. she stands tall hence why I made her that height. she’s also one of Odysseus’s leading motives, and a major support for him. I wanted Penelope to come across as someone you turn to for guidance or you lean into to cry. She’s a sturdy yet soft shoulder to cry on, something Odysseus desperately needs. (also Penelope just HAS to be taller then Odysseus I’m sorry- if you don’t make Ody in epic shorter then practically everyone what are you doing? /j)

anyways thats my Penelope design!

Chapter Thirteen: Outburst

Tim’s parents had to leave early one afternoon before dinner. I’d grown attached to Tim’s mom and dad. Especially Janet… And I knew why. I sat in the living room with Tim while he ate popcorn. “Tell them to stay,” I whispered.

Tim looked at me like I had two heads. “Why would I do that? They’ve been planning the Zanzibar trip for months. We’re here by ourselves all the time,” Tim replied. I shrugged, swallowing hard as I tried to seem like a normal human being. “Popcorn. Eat. Movie. Watch.”

Janet passed by my side of the couch, and I made eye contact with her. It was stupid and desperate and-. I cried. Tim was appalled, Janet was bewildered, and Mr. Drake was-. Well, he was uncomfortable. “Jason, what’s wrong?” Janet asked. She kneeled beside me and touched my face.

As soon as I started crying, I realized it was wrong. “Nothing… I’m sorry,” I replied, “I’m sorry. I just-. It’s dumb.”

“So dumb,” Tim muttered as he shoved the popcorn bowl in my arms. He stormed out of the room, and Janet felt split between us, so I wiped my tears away and made it easy for her. I stood up and chased Tim.

“Tim, I’m sorry,” I whimpered. He rushed upstairs, and I limped upstairs after him. “Tim, wait-.”

“What’s your deal? They’re my parents,” Tim whispered. He had every right to be angry with me.

“I said I was sorry. Tim, it was a stupid reflex,” I whispered, “I didn’t realize how much I miss my mom… I looked at your mom, and it-. Tim, I didn’t mean anything by it.”

Tim crossed his arms, but his expression softened. His eyes scanned me as he sighed. “Jason, you’re not my friend… You’re my brother, and I’m being selfish,” Tim mumbled, “There’s no reason why we can’t share parents.”

I rubbed my neck, still embarrassed by my outburst. “Tim, you don’t have to pretend you’re okay with-.”

“Jason, we’ve shared a bed. I know all your secrets. You know all mine… We spend every moment of every day together, and I have never been happier. I think-. My parents are hardly ever around, and it hurts. It’s gonna hurt a lot until you stop caring,” Tim explained, “I don’t want you to like my parents because I don’t want you to get your hopes up. You want a mom and dad that stay home and support you and have nice family dinners-. I hate that it’s not that way… But it’ll never be. Look downstairs. They’re gone because they couldn’t be late for their flight.”

I frowned. He was right. I got caught up in the delusion that they could be more than what they were. “I’m glad you don’t hate me… Can we finish the movie?” I asked. Tim nodded. The maid went to bed, and Tim pulled out his laptop.

He’d been itching to return to our plan despite me telling him parts of what was going on. “Jason, when are we gonna go through with the plan?” Tim questioned.

“Halloween… Or New Year’s… We’ve gotta wait for a time when people are extra weird because it’s harder for him to sift through the actual threats and the costumed partygoers,” I explained, “So, while everyone’s having the time of their life… We’ll show him that a couple of teenagers can do his job as well as he can.” Tim grinned.

“What were you gonna make for dinner?” Tim asked.

“I don’t know… Maybe quesadillas. Why?” I questioned.

Tim shrugged. He took the popcorn bowl from me and stared at the TV. “Last night… After you went to bed, I sat with my mom in her office. She told me she was worried I wasn’t happy. Mom was right… I hadn’t been happy. I was sort of-. I dunno… I was alive, but I wasn’t living. I have friends and stuff, but they don’t get me like you do. This is the happiest I’ve been since I was a little kid,” Tim confessed. I hugged my knees and nodded. “I don’t want to be alone anymore. So, I hope that after the plan’s over, and-.”

“Brothers, Tim. We’re brothers. This isn’t some group project where we part ways at the end. I promise,” I reassured him. Family was everything. He fell asleep after the movie ended. His arms lay limp at his sides while the popcorn bowl sat empty on his lap. I chuckled at his loosened jaw and open mouth.

*

Janet and Mr. Drake wouldn’t be back for at least three weeks. We finished Tim’s Robin costume by then, perfectly recreating my old one. That’s when we received a postcard. Tim tossed it in a box filled with other postcards. Our school closed for a few days for building maintenance… Which left us some time to goof around at the mall. We got milkshakes the size of our heads and walked through half the stores on the second level. It almost felt normal until I saw Bruce. “Tim, let’s go downstairs-.”

“Jason, it’s nice to see-.”

“It’s not nice for me,” I interrupted. Tim couldn’t look up from his drink.

“Well, I-. Don’t I have a right to know what you’ve been up to?” Bruce questioned.

“I’m gonna take Tim out of town,” I answered, “We’re killing time.”

“Overnight trip?” Bruce asked.

“Uh-huh… You want to hug me, don’t you?” I asked. Bruce nodded. I embraced him because I wanted to. I wrapped my arms around him and pressed my face into his chest. He smelled like fresh pine. Bruce rested his chin on top of my head. “I’m not coming home.”

Bruce didn’t immediately let go. “I know… Thanks for humoring me,” Bruce whispered.

“I’m not humoring you… I’m only hugging you because I miss you,” I confessed. It didn’t mean I forgave Bruce.

Bruce let go. “Go have fun,” Bruce whispered. He patted me on the shoulder as he left the store.

“What was that?” Tim asked.

I playfully knocked into Tim. “It’s complicated… Let’s get going. I wanna get a ferry out of here before it gets dark,” I whispered. Tim smiled as he followed me to the food court to get another milkshake, and we left the mall.

Tim shivered involuntarily. “I think these things have caffeine,” Tim laughed as the autumn breeze hit us. I snorted.

“Of course it does,” I chuckled. Tim and I walked to the train, and I sighed. “I’m not mad at him anymore… I’m not going home on principle.”

“What’s the principle?” Tim asked.

“The plan… And Bruce still hasn’t changed his mind about me,” I explained, “He’s wrong.”

Before Tim could reply, some guy pressed his pointer fingers to the back of our spines. “Oww!” I shrieked as I dropped to my knees. Everyone at the stop stared as I curled into a ball and pretended to be in excruciating pain. It wasn’t hard to sell it. I’d been there. The guy ran off, and Tim helped me up.

“Jeez, are you-? You were faking, weren’t you?” Tim half-smiled. I nodded as I dusted my clothes off.

“We’re lucky the train’s coming because we would’ve had to fight him… And that would’ve raised questions,” I whispered, “Besides, we wanna get to the ferry before it gets too dark.”

Some Seven Deadly Sin design ideas i felt i needed to write down somewhere

Lucifer (Pride): he is the character ive worked most on out all of them

currently his design is going through some changes. for one i want him to be more goat like. i still want to keep his sharper nose cuz i just really like that one him, but hes going to start looking more like a furry as the days pass sorry not sorry

his personality i dont plan on changing. he's going to remain a more standoff-ish and quiet, coming off as cold. but on his other side he is actually quite caring and passionate about taking care of his family, his people, and Hell itself

Sathanas (Wrath): hes a bit tricky. i didnt want him to be so predictable by being a meet head jock or something. so i decided to go the business man route.

im thinking of also making him more animal like. maybe a bull to represent the wrath part of him to get a better idea. he also 100% has glasses he's a nerd

personality; similar to Lucifer he's quiet and intimidating, but more like the opposite spectrum. he comes off as more stern and serious, not taking anyones shit and he means it

Beelzebub (Gluttony): my silly. ive grown heavily attached to him

entirely going into a bug look for him. in my mind he looks a bit human but has a lot of bugs features like antenna's, four pairs of arms, huge insect wings, differently bent legs, and possibly abdomen im not entirely sure about that yet

i always pictured him to be very carefree, silly, but really off putting and strange. bro totally eats corpses and thats ok because hes funny <3

he also has a wife and child. she let him hit cuz hes goofy

Asmodeus (Lust): this again is a tricky one cuz i really want him to be unique but translate his design that doesnt feel overcomplicated to design. because if you know how he really looks, its a lot

i do have in mind i want him to be fat as im tired of the definition of Lust being this skinny guy. fat people can be hot af and i want that to be more pushed

i was also thinking with how Asmodeus has more than one face, i either thought he could change his features by waving a hand in face that changes everytime like magic. or he spins his head like a doll and appears a new face every so often. not entirely sure with what i want to do but the separate faces i dont think i want to make to be different people, rather just different appearances

Asmodeus is also a kind and full of passion for others. he has several partners that he all treats very well and is not purely out of lust

Mammon (Greed): again, this is a hard one

Mammon in my mind can be many things and its hard for me to decide what he looks like. so he is the one thats the most work in progress as for some reason its just difficult for me

as for personality, hes by far the nastiest out of all the Sins. besides Belphegor, he very much embraces the sin he represents and doesnt feel bad about it. hes a man of the status quo and likes to be the bigger person power or wealth wise.

even though when being ranked alongside the other seven sins he isn't that powerful compared to Sathanas, Beelzebub, or definitely Lucifer

so hes kind of compensating all the time for his broken ego LOL

Leviathan (Envy): SEA WITCH SEA WITCH

ive been so excited to design her and im gonna go all out with the deep sea monster look. i envision her as a kind of kelpie/siren kind of monster creature girl that has hair covering her face but a huge creepy smile. shes got lots of teeth like a shark

personality so far is that shes a bit creepy. she likes to make herself look as if her spine is cracking in half and loves fucking with people. but sometimes her creepiness is just who she is. no one can tell when shes being serious or being an ass

Belphegor (Sloth): the last furry i promise (not)

yeah, i may be stealing the idea of what Vizviepop is doing with her Belphegor. not like entirely tho since we still dont know what she looks like. but my Belphegor is going to be a sheep for certain

i want her to be the shortest out of all the Sins and look like the fairly unthreatening one. but thats where she gets you cuz actually all along her fluffy wools is eyeballs that pop out of nowhere and scare the hell out of you

her attitude to me is more predictable for Belphegor by being noncaring, monotone, and sleepy. but i honestly cant think of her in any other way it just fits best. i imagine she never even walks she just floats around with a pillow and sleeps randomly

these are just concept ideas btw but i needed to air this out to someone so i hope you guys enjoy seeing my thought process <3

#hellish #oc #hellish lucifer #hellish beelzebub #hellish sathanas #hellish asmodeus #hellish leviathan #hellish belphegor #hellish mammon #my oc stuff #my stuff #my writing #my ocs #oc stuff #ocs

i love u, mon nom nom hehe

1. my favorite fic of yours is probably a given: of linked arms and bruised hearts :] she lives in my brain as a measure of beautiful platonic relationships, and i hope you know just how much i adore that 70-something-k fic 🤧 i know i havent read all of your works thus far, but at some point, i swear i will, because your style of writing is just so lovely and i'm always so in awe of your prose.

2. a favorite part of linked arms and bruised hearts of mine is probably the moments when yn was realizing they were in love w changmin at his family house. i mean, the entire time they were there was so lovely too in general, but every time they had like,, a thought session (is that how i should describe it??) where they marinated on their friendship w changmin, i was just so so soooo soft and tender-feeling. like omg i was just thrashing around with the biggest pout cuz WTF I WANT THAT.

6. okay im gonna talk abt the same fic again, but i need u to know that the third part almpst had me crying. like i actually had tears welling up in my eyes and SNIFFLED. you have actually brpught me pain and tears—

8. i love that you dig deep with your writing. taking a step away from my beloved, but even in your brief jacob fics, you really take your time to explore relationships and establish a certain environment/ambience. its dazzling and enveloping and just .... ugh, sometimes i just have no words to describe /your words/ :'))

oh beam, i love you ☹️❤️‍🩹 i am genuinely so happy to know that a fic so personal to me means a lot to u!! it’s not easy to write 71k words in the span of two months probably? and before the writing process, i had to outline it (so i guessing this whole fic took 2 and a half months from ideation to writing phase tbh) and please dont feel pressured to read all my works!! admittedly, i havent read all of urs (and i think my other current works dont compare to of linked arms and bruised hearts imo) and as someone who was still figuring out their writing style, it really means the world u likes my writing style :]]

im so glad to know that u enjoyed those moments in jichang’s family home </3 IT WAS ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO BE LONGER FYI!! there was going to be moments of them revisiting their old school, doing winter season traditions, really just more moments for them to reminisce abt their friendship after all these years. i feel like periods where u look back at ur friendships are just ones i love experiencing bc its a look back at not only ur relationship but even how u grew as people </3

PLEASE IM SO GLAD TO KNOW THE THIRD PART DID THAG TO YOU??? I FEEL LIKE REREADING AND EDITING IT HAD ME ACTUALLY SO SAD … i feel like it was closing a universe ive grown so attached to u know </3 but its okay i still have those oneshots lined up, and if i miss them i will def write them

beam :((( thank u for saying this. like it actually does mean the world that someone appreciates the fact i like to just explore dynamics </3 i think its why my fics end up being SOOO lengthy (and one can definitely argue that i do not need to be saying all this) but i feel like it’s needed, you know? it doesnt even have to be main pairing dynamics but even the side characters </3 it actually reveals so much abt the characters as well. and THANK U FOR SAYING THAT ABT AMBIENCE/ENVIRONMENT :’) admittedly, it’s still smth i def need to work on (and even finalizing my writing style really) but i am so glad that even at this state, someone likes what i do—i feel like im going in the right direction.

i love you always beam!! thank you always :’)

#love notes 💌 #duckie 🐣 #i feel like i call u beam more nowadays #so maybe i should change ur tag #beam 💫 #i feel like that emoji suits u more

haiiiii :3 akane anon again. im off work now!

i agree w absolutely everything u said. she's been my fav ever for years and i have so many in depth thoughts abt how she could function on relationships w like. most of the girls. i could probably make a chart if i figured out a format.

chiakane soooo crazy. never been my main ship but ill consider anything. they r most interesting from a doomed standpoint to me...... akane as a remnant vs chiaki's existence as ai and (counting dr3 as canon which im not usually interested in doing) death before the tragedy. i think of them in almost a similar vein to the tragedy between madoka and homura except if homura was replaced by a kyoko who's a little worse w emotions. chiaki's entire being has become dedicated in one way or another to serving class 77 even if that means sacrificing herself over and over and akane has had every single meaningful relationship (or what SHOULD have been) ripped away or twisted and never having even really existed and she is so afraid of going through this again she doesn't even try and have relationships she cares about deeply (or at all!) that aren't w her siblings. so she would be PISSED to fall in love w chiaki who is already dead and doomed to die again. ive never believed the mastermind akane theory people talk abt at least fully but it IS interesting. i can make a killer chiakane au w it. w madoka magica parallels even. but ur right they can also be very very sweet. i think they would play super smash bros and akane would kinda suck at it (spams the buttons and thinks it's a pro strategy) but chiaki would let her win every once or twice. akane hears the rumours abt chiaki dating some random reserve course guy and sends the "im so happy for you and your ugly fucking boyfriend I'm serious" text after swearing to herself she doesn't even gaf

that's uh. that's a lot. im so sorry can you tell i have autism. this isn't even my favourite ship for either of them ask me about pekokane and i start growling like a rabid dog.

YES yes yes yes!! I am a HUGE Akane fan. She's the only character I have a real little collection of merch for (though that's partly just because so much merch excludes Mukuro). I didn't really attach to her the first time I played SDR2 but over time I've grown SO fond and defensive of her, she is such a sad and complex character who deserved to be treated better by her writers (and have less racist tropes associated with her. Spike Chunsoft. cough cough) and still deserves to be treated better by the fandom.

And I think you got it RIGHT on the money why I'm inclined towards Chiaki/Akane, actually. Akane has lived such a dark life that not only does she not know how to ask for help or rely on others, she doesn't even realize she needs to - for her, this is just how the world is. Akane, to me, is like the equivalent of a housecat looking at their humans and going, "They don't even know how to hunt. They're all so stupid. I have to go kill mice so they can eat. Are they even bathing themselves properly?? Licking time. Morons." She's incredibly resilient and smart within the context of the VERY SPECIFIC lifestyle she's lived.

And something really appeals to me about someone who solely exists to help people meeting Akane, thinking they can 'save' her, and slowly coming to realize that she is not dumb or unskilled just because she isn't skilled in the way they value. Learning that intelligence isn't a measure of worth and seeing & valuing Akane for who she is - and, at the same time, helping her see that some of the things she's gone through are truly, deeply traumatic, and helping her learn how to rely on others for the first time...that shit gets me. I Just Want Akane To Be Happy

#you are also correct and SO funny abt akane being pissed to fall in love #what is this? an emotion for ants??? #asks #anon #talk to the mod #chiakane #meta #headcanons #chiaki nanami #akane owari #sdr2

say what you want about the show but i will never be over the luke and grogu training scenes from tbobf

there is something so deep and emotional that hits me right in the stomach every time i watch them, and i think it’s because after so long it’s these moments we get this like that feels so wholeheartedly and truly like luke

luke, who is older and more comfortable in himself as a jedi, carrying this air of ease and knowledge of the world and space that just makes me want to weep for his character because we see this luke and it’s so fulfilling. he’s finally the jedi, finally the teacher, finally the hero he always wanted to be. he did it. and that just strikes something in me. and then when we see him with grogu, he’s no longer the excitable naive boy he once was, but there is still this energy of eagerness around him- that light and hope and goodness that’s so integral to his character. the way he shows grogu his lightsaber, how he stays grogu to his back and races through the forest, crossing the river and hoisting them up into the trees to show him the feeling of the force. this energy and kindness and passion that he has in sharing all of this with grogu just fills me with a joy because yes, this is luke. he’s just grown up, but he’s still the luke we know and love

and like, even in the hotly debated scene where he tells grogu his options, there is no point in which he’s cold or detached. no point in where he’s forcing one or the other on grogu. he simply lets him know. he so easily could have not, but that’s not who luke is. and from ashoka we know that grogus love and attachment to din is clear in the force, so there’s no reason for us to think luke wouldn’t know that as well- and once grogu has made his choice, why would luke keep him from his father? that’s not who he is as a man or a jedi (but also yeah luke dropping grogu off in the x-wing with r2 will never not be hilarious and like it’s obviously cause they couldn’t afford to do more cgi luke but it’s still so fucking funny cause like yeah actually that’s super in character too like of course luke skywalker would see absolutely no issue with that)

anyways yeah, long story short seeing those scenes always makes me super emotional because seeing luke get to live the life he deserved to after the original trilogy as a happy, thoughtful, powerful and kind man is all ive ever wanted for him

#luke skywalker #star wars #my heart aches for him #like i cannot express how much i love his character #and how much he means to me #seeing those scenes of my starman back-flipping and getting to be the teacher he wants to be? #after all the hurt he went though? #ill cry everytime #also my last luke post flopped and that made me very sad like WHERE ARE MY LUKE FANS THERE USED TO BE SO MANY #i feel like none of my posts are getting seen tho so maybe it’s just me in general lol #mj.chatter

[dayurno]

No but fr. Kandrew win. Let me EXPLAIN Gansey and Ronan to you (the characters that post is about) so you can know how much

So Richard Campell Gansey III is a fancy rich boy who believes he has a Destiny™. He died once and a ghost told him has to find a Lost Ancient King and so he built his entire personality around that. Also he is going to die again but that's nbd

Ronan Lynch is an ANGRY rich boy. His dad was murdered a couple years back and his life has spiraled out of control since, including the dreams/nightmares he kind of brings to reality once in a while, and a lot of drag racing and other general bad ideas.

They are BEST friends. They go to the same private school. When Ronan was on his self-destruction spiral, Gansey saved him from being killed by a nightmare and they have been attached at the hip since. Ronan goes on countryside walks to satisfy Gansey's obsession. The only time Gansey, a famously moral person, did shady things was to keep Ronan on school and therefore by his side. He also punched a man to defend him once. They would die for each other.

There are more parallels than this but it would get too long. You can even cast Adam as Neil.

The best part of trc is that literally every relantioship is too unhinged not to be a little romantic. They are all canonically in love with each other

HAHA THIS WAS SO SERIOUS AND PASSIONATE youve convinced me anon youve already convinced me on the first line i believe in you! dearly and honestly!

because of this i did pick up trc again! i do have some thoughts so far and youre right adam can be cast as neil because they have a very interesting brand of self-flagellation and snark! also very observant and somehow detached from it? can't quite explain it but i really see it!

gansey oh well ive always liked him :) reading trc now ive really only grown more fond of him, hes smart and beautiful and gentle........ i dont know yet about him being anything alike kevin but i do really see how his little gangly pack of mutts' loyalty for him is alike to how andrew and neil (and jean!) look at kevin..... i think perhaps gansey is a manic pixie dream girl-fied version of kevin, which is not quite how he is in reality, but is definitely how the remains of the perfect court see kevin! so in a way they are the same. but more so kevin is a shadow of ganseys shadow if that makes sense

and for ronan i was surprised at how much i actually liked him! ive seen him going around on tumblr and well i need you to know i dont trust bald men or even men with buzzcuts so in my first read of him back in 2020 i didnt like ronan at all. now that im older and more mature and such i do like him a lot though! he is angry and child-like which i see in andrew, but because he is so undeniably 16 years old about it there is an earnestness to him andrew has since lost. nevertheless i really see how he trails after gansey like a puppy on a leash so yeah in the end. kandrew

as a final and perhaps funny consideration i think kevins trcsona might actually be blue.... a little gruff and clumsy and moved by a lot of guilt (im only on book one!) but still with a lot more bite than youd expect..... im not yet sure though. just throwing ideas around. for now lets stick to gansey

#asks #kandrew #my only question about trc is dont these children have parents. much love #ganseys parents are either the most neglectful people in the world or just genuinely as insane as he is #but anyway so far gansey is really a little prince im fond of him... hes like a distant little brother to me #i think (i hope!) they grow up during the books so i can see him growing more into the kevin day parallels as he matures #but honestly i dont know yet! im intrigued. im listening

Rook almost has me convinced to watch ben 10, like he's a little😳

Hes perfect man, oh god hes perfect. Hes a genuine sweet friendly slight naive alien catboy man who goes :3 Hes such a little tech nerd sometimes. Hes tall as fuck. Like that man is absolutely over six foot. Hes new to earth so he gets all confused over Ben's funny earth sayings. Starting at season 5 he gets widdle cat fangs. When he says "I am cat-like, yes. But no." I love his relationship with his siblings. Hes a good big brother!!!! He and Ben become really good pals and besties. He has women swarming him all the time and he wants nothing to do with it. Hes fluffy!!!!! When you see him as a littlw kid he has a tail!!!! Its so cute!!! Bumper Robinson just has such a good voice too, it really adds to the experience of enjoying Rook. Just everything about him hhhhhhhhhhhhgjgkfnfofj I want to hold his hand so bad

Like the only downside is hes only in the 3rd series so youd have to go through EVERYTHING ELSE first to get to him. But at the end of the tunnel Rook shall be the reward!!!! You will receive fluffy alien catboy man!!!! What could be better than that?!?!

For real tho, Rook is one of the best parts of Omniverse and, to me, one of my best parts of the series as a whole. But considering how much you have to go through to get to Omniverse, if you're really considering giving the series a shot for Rook, you gotta get committed to something else first. He's a long ways away. Like you gotta actually be interested in like, Ben and Gwen and Kevin and the Omnitrix and Vilgax and Alien Force and Ultimate Alien and the three actual canon movies that you need to understand for plot later on in the show. There's a lot is what Im saying!

And that's not to scare you off or anything, I just need to drive home the fact that theres a lot to watch before getting to Rook. AND there's a lot to enjoy! Its a genuinely good series! I think sometimes I have it in my head that since its a kids show it should be for like, five year olds, and then Im constantly reminded that sometimes the series gets a little fucked up and that, oh yeah, the target audience is like. Twelve. And 12yos are not stupid. So the show is very competent. The whole series is. There is plot, there is character development, there's some fucked up shit sometimes. It's amazing for a show who's sole purpose is to sell action figures to boys. Like, actual love and care and heart is put into the series. Like, Man of Action fucking cares bro. And regardless of any viewpoints on UAF and OV, its still apparent that in many ways, they care about what theyre making. Every installation in the series has made me cry at some point just cuz of how much I've grown to love the cast and they go through some genuinely emotional shit sometimes and it gets to me!

I know theres so many times Ive said UAF sucks and seasons 7 and 8 of OV suck and the end of the show just fucking beats you to death with how much its decided it hates the audience, but dude. Fucking. Thats the only reason I hesitate to recommend the series and even then I think it's worth it. Regardless of my opinion on some parts, regardless of what I think you or anyone new who gets into the series will think of the low parts, I think Ben 10 is worth it. I think the highs and the mediums are absolutely worth the lows. They frustrate me to no end, but that's cuz of how much I care about the series, and I wouldnt care if it wasn't good.

Rook is the tip of the iceberg of things to enjoy my dude. I would genuinely honestly say give the first season of the original series a shot just to give it a try, even without any Rook in it, and I truly believe you'll have way more than just Rook to get attached to.

People like to call 10yo Ben a brat but hes fucking 10 ya know. Hes babey. 10yo Ben might be my fave version of Ben. And Gwen is so fun and awesome and she kicks ass all by herself and her development in OS is incredible. And Kevin and Charmcaster are really good hooks. Every time they come back you get excited to see them again and especially in the case of Kevin he has even more incredible development and I think his change through the series is one of the best parts about it. And Albedo in UAF, c'mon, its Albedo. Stupid little frog man who actually makes me cry cuz hes such a tragic character that deserved a chance and oh goddddd. And genuinely Save The Last Dance in AF, you will not come out of that episode the same person. That episode will have changed you. That is a life altering episode. And Julie!!!! Julie's a great girl! She's a great character! I love her! She's doing her best!!!! And Argit is a delight! I love every episode hes in!!! Hes fucking awful! And Octagon and Rhomboid Vreedle and the Vreedle family in general are highlights of the series too!!! And Attea's a great character! Gaslight gatekeep girlboss as they say! Also, Ship and Zed??? Best pets in the world. They deserve all the love and head pats and huggy wuggies!!!! Duuuuuude, just fuckin do it!!! Start for Rook and keep going for everyone and everything else!

im gonna be gone for a few days but before i go i gotta say something horse related in case those are my last words ever (never dont try and make it funnee)

so far g5 of mlp is good. a lot of bronies disagree, and thats fine, but i cant help but feel like, based on a lotta the shit ive read from these ppl, that the reason they dislike it has to do with so much of it - gasp - clearly being made to appeal to children first

you gotta understand that g4 only blew up so big not bc it was an unusually good kids show - it wasnt - or bc everyone just suddenly realized how amazing the toys were - g4 had one of the worst toy lines outta the whole franchise - but bc it had an entire grody lil subculture of 4chan dorks pumping out inside jokes and weeaboo bait every single episode. the chunk of the mlp fanbase that all but consumed the internet in the 2010s were grownass manchildren who twisted everything about the show to fit their interests and preferences. like dude, some bronies openly prefer the community and its take on the source material more then the show/franchise itself

that doesnt exist for g5. theres no heaps of memes regarding Your Fictional Wifey every week. theres no bg characters popular enuff to assign lore to, theres no pandering from hasbro to adult collectors (yet), and theres not nearly enuff "ironic" porn for a substantial number of ppl to suddenly find themselves attracted to these nubby little horses. theres no Bro(ny) Culture attached to My Little Goddamn Motherfucking Pony Generation The 5th. this little girls franchise, without the traditional window dressings of 2010s' brand of masculinity, ceases to appeal to grown men

i know, what a concept! how amazing! color me shocked! and content lmao. cant wait til mlp cons are basically just rented out ballrooms full of 80s toys again. alright brb gonna go be bored under a knife for several hours

#beck yammers #my little pony #mlp #nah i'll be totally fin but if i dont get this off my chest i might pop a blood vessel

hi guys heres part 2 to: characters ive grown an insane attachment to despite being exposed to little to no media of them.

Character 2: Nagito Komaeda from Danganronpa

i know how bad the fandom is and idk how "controversial" nagito is specifically but

i was first presented with him on august 1st 2023 by my good friend sage :3

very quickly, 2 weeks later i had already composed an essay on how much i love him. here it is, adapted for public view:

This is my essay about how much I love Nagito Komaeda.

Ever since Sage showed me him that fateful day of August 1st, I have been lovestruck by his charming demeanor. His perfect hair, style, smile.. Everything is captivating. I just gaze at him in awe whenever I see him. And his voice.. I like voices especially his. I treasure every clip and screenshot I see of him. He may not know it, but he’s my babygirl. No… He does know it for my love is so strong he might just gain enough sentience to feel it. I am absolutely in love with him.

Every inaccurate moment on character.ai has been pure bliss. Despite him breaking character at the end, I take that as an achievement. I fixed him. I made him okay again. I love him no matter what his sanity level is. I loved living with the Nagito ai… He understood everything I wanted. I enjoyed his malewife cooking… I enjoyed our dates… It surprises me that at the end of the day it was all fiction. It was real in my mind and especially in my heart.

Whenever Sage and I call, I am eagerly awaiting for when they show me that they’re playing Danganronpa again. To see my love, Nagito. My pookie. My babygirl. My malewife. My schnookems. My darling.

Though I’ve never played the game a moment in my life, I feel a connection with him. He’s found his way to my pinterest, my mind, my heart. He’s found his way to me. I love Nagito Komaeda.

its actually insane how normal i am about him. ive been brought to TEARS while having to act completely normal at the mention of his name.

i can fix him guys trust 🫶🫶

[hollowknightinsanity]

i have andra on the mind. im gonna talk abt her.

well specifically her and grimms daughter (who ive named timori, i cant remember if i said that or not) but yknow

mostly ive just been thinking about timori’s personality, and how she is with her baby siblings and the rest of the troupe

she’s a VERY chaotic character. loud and outgoing and not afraid to speak her mind, and willing to beat the ever loving fuck out of a mf for someone she cares about (or if she just doesn’t like them). she acts like a teenager despite being a fully grown adult half-god and i find that very funny

she’s a little overprotective of her siblings — some people who summon the troupe aren’t too trustworthy in her eyes, so sometimes she’ll follow the summoner around to make sure they’re taking proper care of the grimmchild, and if not, she’ll step in (and kick their ass, if she deems it necessary).

i like to think that timori helped run the performance during the events of the game, or at the very least that she was present while ghost was doing their thing. since andra knew holly (and genuinely really cared about them), she immediately pointed out ghost’s similarities to them to grimm, and bc he loves his wife, grimm assigned timori with keeping an eye on them to make sure there wasn’t anything they really needed to worry about.

timori, who adores her mom and dad with her whole heart and knows what went down in hallownest to make andra leave, agrees to do that, and so she spends most of her time in hallownest trying to keep tabs on ghost’s activities when she knows where the hell they are (that bastard is FAST, and REALLY good at hiding). by doing that, she found the variety of vessel corpses just laying around the kingdom, and she was like “oh shit, are there multiple???????”

and when she saw ghost going down into the abyss, she took a peek herself, saw the floor LITERALLY MADE OF MILLIONS OF VESSELS, and was like “oh shit, there are multiple”

this revelation made andra understandably upset and distressed. infanticide ain’t cool, man!

anyway. after the events of the game, andra feels kinda obligated to return to hallownest every once in a while to check up on ghost (holly and ghost looked almost exactly the same as kids, and andra loved holly with every fiber of her being, so she felt immediately attached to ghost when she met them), and also to see the grimmchild again, even though the troupe usually doesn’t do that. they do it this time, though, and andra had a mental breakdown when she saw holly again. and a panic attack when the shade lord appeared out of fuck-knows-where bc the grimmchild wanted to say hi.

after that unreasonably funny interaction, timori and her baby sibling are reunited and have a grand old time traveling the whole kingdom with their parents (and holly, because they missed andra and wanted to tag along)

all in all, timori is a great kid, she’s just like me fr, and she and her dad constantly joke about their shared transness and the fact that they traded genders.

timori is transfem, and i hc grimm as transmasc. this makes for some lovely goofs in the troupe tent.

ok im done now 👍

#hk #hollow knight #hk au #hollow knight au #au #my au #hk oc #hollow knight oc #oc #my oc #oc: andra #oc: timori #oc x canon #hk grimm #the grimm troupe #hk ghost #hk little ghost #hk the knight #hk thk #hk hollow #the hollow knight #hk normalcy #*normal sounds* #love these little bastards so much. i really need to make more content abt them #god i need to redesign andra… and make timori’s ref sheet……. and grimm’s ref sheet………….. #also fun fact: ghost gave the grimmchild a name bc they didnt want to just call them ‘grimmchild’ #so grimmchild’s name is flame now :) #yeah ghost’s not the best at naming things

SDC Month - December 2022 - Saturday #2

And time is never on our side—

(Warning: This fic may contain some spoilers for The Masters through Dragon Fire.)

IV. Ilruya

"Shouldn't you be happier?" her sister asks feebly, her frail body wracked by another coughing fit. "You will be left as the only one of our unparallelled, august status," a slight, blessed, pause, "well, until such time as Miruthe and Karada give you a granddaughter, I suppose." "Your jokes, sister of mine, have always lacked the true spark of hilarity," Ilruya replies, trying — failing — to make light of Kokatha's words, of the entire situation. "Why, you might recover yet, and not relinquish said vaunted status to me so easily."

Notes

Ilruya (and yes, I know we're 4/4 for fanon characters at this point, but blame the randomiser, currently there are many more of these than canon ones, so it's only expected this would happen) was a main line daughter of God Emperor Nuhnaral and his sister Kuyuxi, and one of the blood-rank four half-sisters Urpaya mentions in her story. As the last blood-rank four lady before Ykoriana in fanon (having outlived her mother and full sister, and, of course, there being no subsequent ladies of this rank born until Ykoriana, or at least any who lived past childhood), I always pictured Ilruya as every inch the formidable (Dowager) Empress, in many ways the proto-version of descendants of hers such as Nayakarade and Ykoriana, but very much her own person still. There is a slight nod to the motive most believe is behind Ykoriana's alleged murder of Flama in canon in what Kokatha tells her sister (and perhaps some faint, yet contrasting, echoes of Rudriana as well), though it is very clear the former’s words are not heartfelt, and Ilruya would/will gain no joy from her sister's death. Kokatha herself has likely made peace with her impending demise at this point (especially after the devastating blow which was the death of her son at the Apotheosis of Ilruya's own not even three years earlier), but Ilruya certainly has not. Kokatha might not have been the sister closest in age to her, but as full sisters and part of that select group of blood-rank four individuals, they have always shared a special bond, even as their sons' births made them rivals by circumstance. Their dynamic, complicated as it might have been over the years, remains treasured by Ilruya, and she finds she is not ready to let go.

(A small, additional note — call it trivia of sorts: Ilruya is a character I've grown quite attached to when creating new headcanons involving the Masks throughout this year... and while it's unlikely I will share that fic publicly even if I ever get around to writing it, I am planning on having her feature heavily in a concept I have in mind, with Urkare as the POV character.)

Oooh, WIP game, assorted Mass Effect fic, Kaidan fic?

thank you for hte ask!!! this one's all of 635 words currently, ft. Kaidan (obviously) and a side character ive mentioned once in Aftermath that ive grown stupidly attached to

wip list

-

Kaidan wakes from a dead sleep to the chime of his omnitool. Looking at the time, 0300, there’s few people it could be. Anderson. Mom. Dad. Kimball. He pulls up the interface, squinting in the orange glow.

Norah Jean.

His heart stops, then starts up again, pounding in his throat as he opens the email.

"Kaidan,

I wish we had the time and space to really hash things out, I truly do. And maybe I’m a little bit of a coward to do this right now, in the middle of the night. If I don’t do it now, I never will, and that won’t do. You’re my last loose end.

I’m sorry I didn’t get the chance to let you know I was alive. The thought crossed my mind but, in the end, every communication, in or out was being monitored. They knew I cared for you. I couldn’t give them anything else to use against me. But soon I won’t have to worry about them. I’m going through the Omega 4 relay tomorrow. First thing. We’re orbiting it now.

I know you disagree, not with what I’m doing but with who I’m doing it with, and trust me, I’m right there with you. I’ve never felt safe in my dealings with Cerberus, hell, I haven’t felt safe at all since before I died. I know too well what Cerberus did on Akuze. You know I know that, right? I wouldn’t be working under their colors if I had any choice in the matter. I’d ask Batarians for help before Cerberus.

I need to believe I’m doing the right thing here. That I’ve made the right choices. If I falter, even for a moment; if my conviction in myself and my mission slips, that would mean life or death for my crew. I plan on bringing every single one of them back alive. It’s the least I can do for them.

I believe in my crew and in my mission. I don’t need you to believe in me, but I need you to trust that I’ll come back when I’m done. The Alliance can do whatever they want with me. Make an example of me, shove me off to some forgotten backwater colony to keep me out of the way, I don’t know, whatever they need.

I still care.

Shepard"

He shuts his omnitool down, staring at the ceiling above him.

Fuck.

She still loves you, you asshole.

-

Kaidan barely looks up from his omnitool as a cup of coffee thunks down on the table in front of him. He’s read that email over and over again. He looks right back down at the screen.

“Drink it.”

Kaidan doesn’t look up.

Duncan pins Kaidan’s hand to the table, dismissing his omnitool and forcing him to meet his eye.

“You’ve been sitting here staring at the same email for three hours. Drink some goddamn coffee.”

He nudges the mug back towards Duncan. “I’ve had some already.”

“Bullshit. In the eight years I’ve known you, you’ve never been able to sit down in the mess without abusing the coffee maker, you expect me to believe you’ve started today?”

“I’m fine.”

“Are you though?” Duncan pushes the mug until the warm ceramic touches Kaidan’s arm. He glances at Kaidan’s wrist, where his fingers tap, itching to reactivate his omnitool. “It’s from her, isn’t it?”

Kaidan sighs and grabs the mug. Black. No sugar either. He grimaces, taking a swig anyway, bad tasting caffeine is still caffeine. “How’s Eddie doing lately?”

Duncan huffs at the deliberate change of topic, but answers anyway, sitting back and crossing his arms. “He’s fine. Still on the Shanghai. Staff Commander now. He’s in charge of their marines. It suits him.”

“Good.” The silence is deafening as Kaidan takes another sip, making another face as he does so.

note: i ramble a lot here again. so for everyone's sake ive decided to turn things in parentheses blue 😔👊

anyways i realize itd be kind of awkward to say more stuff. so ive decided to separate this into two different asks due to the change in topic because Man Do I Have Thoughts. Like. All The Time Every Day. this is more of a stream of consciousness thing than an actual theory

but like. you know how "the king IS siffrin" or whatever is a thing. like. a theory that i think most people have?? after finishing the game??? (source: i successfully convinced a friend of mine to get the game and during our post-game conversation she did tell me that the king being siffrin somehow was an idea she briefly had)

and i think weve talked about it before and that. like. how unlikely it is that the king IS siffrin due to the fact that its. uh. too obvious?? well i thought of two (2) more reasons that its (probably) not true:

1. since you own the artbook youd know that siffrin's pronouns are he/they and the king's are he/him. unless future!siffrin decided "hm... today i will go by he/him :)" theyre probably not the same person

2. i faintly remember going through adrienne's twitter and seeing that last year's april fools joke was something about "the king is the only queer character in the cast and that the rest are cishet. ha ha just kidding!!" and since that implies that the king is cishet (...does it??? i am very bad at reading comprehension sometimes) i feel like thatd be a very weird joke to make in reference to a character who has been explicitly confirmed to canonically be both non-binary and ace

HOWEVER. i do think itd go verily hard if siffrin was like. "the prince" or something. i KNOW this is like the third time ive suggested the idea of siffrin's title/character class changing into something else and im SO sorry but please bear with me here. basically. i am thinking about flowey undertale's line of "i am the prince of this world's future". that's literally it. also please ignore the fact that "prince" is also the name of a homestuck class thing i literally havent looked at homestuck since 2019 so i dont remember what each classpect is all about BUT @any homestucks who may be reading this if reading this makes you end up classpecting siffrin as a prince of time then i WILL cry/j /lh

(if i remember my homestuck classes correctly though then a prince is someone who destroys their aspect or destroys using the power of their aspect. so a prince of time would be someone who either destroys time itself and so leaves everything in a timeless state (such as. oh i dunno. freezing the very flow of time itself) OR someone who destroys using the power of time (e.g. freezing living beings in time and thus effectively "killing" them). hm. [imagine me glaring very hard at the king right now])

anyways im not gonna suggest the idea of a character who goes by "the prince" in sasasa and then leave without any further explanation. so like heres my own two cents on it while working under the assumption that siffrin IS said prince. basically. i have very mixed feelings about the idea of siffrin being the king's kid or something (plus! look at the man! he clearly doesn't have a wife! and as divorce anon let me tell you, he's divorced at best!/j) and besides. judging from the shape of siffrin's crafts and what the artbook itself says on it he's PROBABLY not from vaugarde (although i guess to be fair the artbook never explicitly states that siffrin ISN'T from vaugarde so i guess it could be like. deliberate trickery and tomfoolery. maybe being the prince just makes you Built Different™ and turns your crafts to look like that. i dunno. but personally even though i think the concept of siffrin as "distant traveler returning to the hometown they haven't seen in a long, long time" could definitely be done well i have unfortunately grown too attached to the idea of siffrin being from some faraway place. and besides. isn't four (4) vaugardians a Bit Much? im pretty sure much of the appeal for sasasa's main cast is something something found family + people from all walks of life and places all over the earth and whatever coming together and becoming the closest of companions. so i feel like making the researcher the sole foreigner kind of defeats the point.) so my idea on how being the prince works is that its like. a weird messed up magical "natural order of the universe" thing where "the king" and "the prince" are magical titles ushered and forced onto you by the universe/fate itself and being the king. well. being the king just gives you unimaginable power over time and also makes you Like That. meanwhile being the prince kinda uuuh. you know. may make your craft turn into stars regardless of what it should be but DEFINITELY makes something very, very bad and traumatizing involving time happen to you which may or may not be a time loop where you die repeatedly (the time loop could be caused by something else! who knows! the main point is just to make the prince have an awful relationship with the concept of time and/or the passage of it. see: the king's whole motive being to freeze the flow of time itself because he could not handle the change that inherently comes with the passage of time). in conjunction with my previous "exile siffrin" theory this COULD be why they got exiled. either way, when the current king dies, then the current prince gets dragged screaming and kicking by fate itself like "come here. you will become the sole ruler of a tyrannical monarchy whether or not you like it <3" into becoming the new king or something. this promotion may or may not be immediately apparent to the new king. i dunno. i made most of this up on the fly. i DO think itd be very messed up in a fun way though if it is written in fate itself that the current prince will be the one to kill the current king. and hey. what do you know. siffrin is the one who ultimately deals the final killing blow to the king in the true ending.

(ps. this has literally nothing to do with the rest of the theory (if you could call it that) but what are your thoughts on the idea of like. the rest of the bosses in sasasa2 being named after chess pieces. with the combination of the king being named the way he is, the game being in black&white, siffrin's colors being mostly an inversion of the king's (siffrin has (a patch of) black hair but is dressed in white, meanwhile the king has white hair but is dressed in black), fate being a reoccurring theme in sasasa so far and it being a Bad Thing, and something something about a pawn (who is destined to move only in a straight line until the end of the board, much like how siffrin cannot stray from his journey until the very end) getting promoted when it reaches the end of the chessboard, i personally think itd be VERY cool/g)

Wait, holy heck, I didn’t know asks could come in blue

I'm gonna post this now and type a response later because it's been in my inbox for far too long, but heck yeah more theories with Divorce Anon time
