everyone is sooo in love with vakori on account of le is so cool and smart and deeply pragmatic and is also completely batshit insane

#oc #monochrome #sketch #velan #vakori #rocaim #rocaim and vakori are rex and taz and adder and silas's parents #adder and silas get their looks from vakori; rex and taz to a slightly lesser degree get it from rocaim #rex specifically is like a sharper clone of him. fucks velan up all the time because their personalities are completely totally different #rocaim was very like. gentle and understanding. good with kids and well-liked by basically everyone. a very effective mediator #rex is obviously none of those things lmao. every time he says something particularly insensitive it surprises her for like six years runni #anyway rocaim is in love wtih vakori. velan is in love with vakori. vakori is aro as they come but insanely pragmatic #like. ok le's based loosely off my ex. like. so le's SCARY pragmatic. so fucking cool about it everyone with a brain is specifically like #'woag oh my god le's so pragmatic im in love with her'. anyway eventually le's like 'hi rocaim. here are the objective reasons that i think #that if we got married it would mean i had better standing and more power in the organization we're both committed to. would you be #opposed to possibly getting married with me on the grounds that it would get me respect and power' and rocaim. who is already head over #heels for ler specifically because le makes these kinds of decisions and sees with this kind of logic is like. Absolutely. 100% #then for the next four years of their formal engagement people keep taking rocaim aside and being like hey... i have bad news... #...that leya you're engaged to... le's not romantically interested in you the same way you're romantically interested in ler... le only #wants you because you're an Ath and le wants a voice in the interclan meetsings... and then when Rocaim is like yeah i know #thats why i want to marry ler isnt that like the sexiest fucking reasoning you've EVER heard. no one gets it but velan #who is also in love with ler for the same reasons but has no such claims to power #and who also is not equipped for a polycule nor willing to try to go behind rocaim's back because unfortunately for her. she is also in lov #with rocaim. me when im in love with my friend and my friend's wife and also i'm pretty sure they both reciprocate but they're both #married and i dont really know what to do about it and also all three of us are very Traditional and that is not the Tradition: #and then they both die and she never quite deals with that. #but she DOES get to raise their (surviving) kids :) most of whom are fucking nightmares #life is so difficult for velan. like actually #closerverse #cv

remarkably not okay overall really but at least there's my little video game guys

#my brother. who is an asshole. just got dxed with fibro #none of us were even aware he had any pain other than a repetitive strain injury and like. idk. i'm skeptical #but obvs that would make me a monster #and our mom probably has it so it's not that surprising #but also he has always been doubtful and treated me like shit and fakes shit etc etc #and just generally is as previously mentioned an asshole who loves invalidating others' mental and physical health issues #anyway yes. doing bad #scared of how he'll treat me going forward #now that he can I Have Fibro Worse Than You/I Have An Excuse To Bully You #(also tired of going through fucking hell to get dxed and then my siblings just. say they're kinda achey and get the dx immediately. lmao) #anyway yes remarkably petty but sometimes first children really are the first pancakes of the batch #txt #lacevent #(and obvs current events but. i don't owe anyone shit on my thoughts on that. that's for therapy. xox)

while the afton kids WERE raised by a ( at least one, confirmed ) british parent(s), they grew up in the united states, making their accents more likely to mirror the majority of people around them— michael, especially, when he was younger and probably DID have more of a british accent in his voice, he would've PURPOSEFULLY gotten as much of it out as he could. so i don't think the kids had heavy accents, But...

they absolutely picked up WORDS. growing up around it, michael's vocabulary is full of british slang that most people in utah wouldn't say, the accent does also come out when using these words

the accent DOES come out in stressful situations— when he's upset, angry, nervous, in trouble, any time when he doesn't really have as much control of his voice. again it's not just full on heavy british, but you can DEFINITELY hear it.

#i've decided i don't really like the way the fandom treats this bc it doesnt make SENSE?? #which isnt really the fandom its the Games fault lmao #these kids wouldnot have as strong british accents if they're raised in utah thats not how it works #they would sound more western probably which is like.. honestly more hilarious fuckign british people in UTAH #SURROUNDED BY MORMONS AND THEN THERES A CORNER W THAT ONE BRITISH FAMILY #but anyways this is more accurate and still leaves the floor open to bullying him for it ESP BC ITS A SURPRISE #i am fully encouraging making fun of michael and his accent #✧ michael afton. headcanons / none of us belong‚ everything i do is wrong‚ and soon there will be nobody left around #this is only funny to me but . me after talking abt this in a Sushi Restaurant: i have GOT to post this-

Me playing as Cordie in Sun Haven: idk who you are, however I am not interested. l e a v e Me playing as Morgana: Hi hi hello, hello, bye see ya later sweetheart!~

#Slimer.LIVEBLOGGER: Sun Haven #slimer.post #Cordie does not want bitches. Morgana wants and gets bitches. This is funny to me in ways I cannot explain #I've like. Barely interacted with ppl when playing as Cordie. I just wanted to play the game by just farming and gathering resources #meanwhile w Morgana the second I see one of my fav NPC's I will literally swing towards them at mach speeds to literally just check and- #-see if I can start another conversation w them. This is just difference when playing as a character representing me #vs just one of my oc's ig. #I have a surprising number of hearts w Lynn and Nathaniel considering how much I don't go out of my way to interact w them tho #meanwhile im keeping a constant eye out for Miyeon. Its just funny to me #I didn't even remember giving Morgana a concrete sexuality or anything; I drew her once & vaguely planned out her character #now I actually am thinking about this for her character lmao. Shes so fucking m-spec and polyam now this is funny to me #none of this probably makes any sense though. my brain is stewed rn

In my healing arc guys!! I can finally focus on shit and get myself together <33

Thinking again about how in college I didn’t mention anything about being autistic but when I told the story of how my mom had to keep all the soap and shampoo locked up when I was a toddler because I would eat and drink it if I could get my hands on it my professor looked at me and confidently said “that’s a very common sensory seeking behaviour for children who are on the spectrum”.

I learned after I graduated that her daughter’s autistic. She’d also worked with autistic kids for years so I don’t know why I thought I was so stealth. It was just so bizarre to be confidently labelled by a stranger. Not even in the “you’re a little strange. Just so unique!” way. Just a confident non-judgmental observation. Assign Autistic In Class.

#rant tag #none of the other students seemed to read this as her like….. outing me?? #I mentioned it to one of the other students on the last day #like ‘lmao wild that I said nothing about being autistic but she just knew’ #more people are liking this one than expected so #okay to reblog #and the student was so surprised to hear I was autistic #and was like I thought she was just sharing a fun fact based on your story! #and I’d say that maybe she was but no. no looking back on her engagement with me She Knew #but to be fair I showed up to class one day in my weight blanket and still covered my ears and or rocked through most of it so #the fact that a) I thought I was stealth and b) there were people that were still shocked to hear it is way more surprising #than the professional with both work and home life experience being able to recognize my symptoms #autism tag #actually autistic

i would like to propose a new leah headcanon (using the knowledge that she likes both writing/poetry and music/musicians*coughfatincough*) and say that she definitely had a spoken word poetry phase

specifically for shane koyczan and his work with the short story long, hannah epperson, and dan mangan

#she totally heard 'to this day' for the first time at the age of 10 and cried for like an hour but had no real clue why #don't mind me just having thoughts about my fictional blorbos again 🥲 #the wilds #leah rilke #shane koyczan #for my tags #in which i have to insert one of my old niche hyperfixations into my most recent brainrot so i don't kms #(for legal reasons that last part was a joke #i'm still in my depression era about the cancellation and i'm using humour to cope lol) #as a sidenote this has put a really great au idea into my head #leah as a spoken word poet and fatin as the cello player who accompanies her #and the music makes the poetry more powerful #i hope someone who's actually talented with writing sees this and takes inspo #no one wants ME to write that idea... just trust me on that #( #leatin #so i can find this post again if i'm super bored and have really bad leatin brainrot again) #also! there i was rewatching old shane koyczan poems on youtube and who shows up on the reccommended videos? #none other than ben fucking folds lmao #my tags once again being longer than the actual post and no one is even a little bit surprised 💀 #well who even cares? i wrote this post for me :D

[diabeticgirl4]

"You know I'm in love with you, right?" Oh jeez it's just as (if not more) weird and awkward as it was in canon

#maddie liveblogs tlovm #vax's face when keyleth goes all 'WAIT WHAT NOW??' on him lmao. yeah that's the regret setting in lmao. #but like. ok. gonna get long and ranty in the tags here. #I mean vax has always been subtle (but not overly so!) w his flirting at the start #all I rly remember offhand is him picking flowers specifically for keyleth and being like... huh..... #note!! I am aro and autistic and generally oblivious to anything romantic in nature!! #so yeah if I were keyleth in canon and vax told me that I'd still be thrown off and surprised but. at least there were hints of it. #in the show?? none of that lol #he's been hanging around her closely and being protective/admiring/etc of her I guess? #but that can be vague and interpreted so many ways #so (in the show) for him to be all 'you know that right? ;)' like????? uhh????? not rly no???? #devil's advocate his vague affection and flirting and ust could've been happening offscreen. which is dumb btw. #also I forgot about the ust. yes ok there's been a Lot of ust onscreen- #-but I hate w a passion ust in general? how momentary awkward silence between 2 ppl automatically means pining??? frick that #the only reason I'm not more upset about them is bc vax has a heart of gold and Respects keyleth and her boundaries w all his being #vaxleth is a weird ship that kinda goes against so many other ships bc it kinda naturally develops like irl couples?? #idk how to explain bc like. it's slowburn but feels natural in the way most slowburns don't #it's a ship that focuses on the individuals' development and character not the romance itself??? if that makes sense???? #I'm going off the rails as per usual but. yeah. I have a lot of weird thoughts about that.

[todayisafridaynight]

For sure. If Ichi actually considered Jo a father figure he definitely would've counted three rather than two at the end, so it's more of a parallel than anything, but it's neat. I was reminded of this part of a conversation I had some time ago about why Jo appears to single out Ichi:

I also think there's some parallels to the Cinderella effect ("the phenomenon of higher incidences of […] child abuse and mistreatment by stepparents"). I'm not quite saying Jo can be considered a "stepdad" [or that] Jo and Arakawa were partners in this specific sense. But when you're the father of a child that you consider another guy to also be the "real" father of (more obvious in Japanese), and then that other guy suddenly brings a new kid into the mix who you think is his biological son, I definitely think "a bias towards kin, and a conflict between […] partners of investing in young that are unrelated to one partner" would crop up.

Also, speaking of fathers and sons, I wanted to touch on the part of Mine's character story you mentioned a little. Daigo actually says he sees Kiryu as more than family, not that he doesn't see him as family. Obviously he's still struggling to put it into words, and it is up to interpretation (I think Mine's interpretation is kind of Disastrous™ going forward, in fact, but I'll save that for when I get over the secondhand embarrassment of talking about it).

But I would argue Daigo is saying that his bond with Kiryu is greater than with his biological family (certainly Sohei, at any rate), or even with the "family" the Tojo represents to him. And I think the official comic that explores his relationship with Kiryu over the course of the series from his perspective reinforces that.

Y6 was written by Furuta whereas all previous numbering entries with Daigo (except Y0) were written by Yokoyama, and it was kind of a big deal when he chose to put their relationship into words specifically in that way, because Kiryu's always been Big Brother Age. Still, with RGGO being written by Yokoyama and Takeuchi, they have this obvious Thing for family transcending blood relation, so I'm pretty confident in saying that was a way to tie directly into Y6 rather than to (temporarily) contradict it. It demonstrates growth more in emotional intelligence and articulation than in his actual viewpoint, so I appreciate the nuance of that.

It’s for sure a Cinderella Effect situation!

And thank you for the clarification on that- I admit I didn’t go back to double check the exact wording, so it’s totally on me for misrepresenting that line. But I agree with that sentiment wholeheartedly!

#snap chats #ik i joke about jo being That Guy Your Mom Marries After The Divorce That You Dont Like but that kind of dynamic isnt baseless. in my eyes #its no surprise considerig jo’s ‘attachment’ ill say to the arakawas for him to want to exclude ichi #ALSO I FEEL LIKE THE BIGGEST FRAUD ON EARTH FOR MISRESPRESENTING THAT LINE i would like to atone by cutting my fingers off #i kept telling myself i should go back and check but alas. my hubris. none of you look at me im a failure #or i shiuld just learn to double check my shit LMAO I CARED ENOUGH TO DO SO FOR THE Y5 CLIP it wouldnt have been hard to double check that #im such a hypocrite.... #but yes yes thank you for doing what my incompetant ass didnt #youve probably worded it better than how i wouldve been able to anyway so my fumble was a gift in that right isnt it #now if anyone needs me im gonna take a shower and try to wash away my embarrassment ill see yall in 20
