the evil thoughts got me fucked up and shit
OH forgot to mention: top 2 images are the final 'redesign', 2 images below are concept sketches i made for the 'redesigns'
tgs jekyll and hyde but they got evaporated by my evil headcanon beam and stitched back together by somebody who has no experience with using a needle and thread to the point where theyre more just like a seperate character
im sorry for my sins
PLEASE HEAR ME OUT BEFORE BITING A CHUNK OUT OF MY ARM. if anybody wants to read about my evil headcanon world all the stuff is below. wasnt really exaggerating when i said i ripped their character apart and stitched them back together though.
i do have a google doc full of everything i headcanon for tgs but some of that is embarrassing as hell so im just slapping the important stuff here
most of these 'headcanons' are here more because they make me happy than to actually make any sense. as a warning.
smokes fat blunt puffs it in your face anyways uh trans henry jekyll yeah (gets shot) ty person from the j&h community i was messaging that dragged me to the dark side and introduced me to the world of embracing my j&h trans headcanons. a true angel.
i really like more book inspired takes on j&h than the musical ones soo uhh.. yeah theyre the same person fully no j&h arguing thing. im soooorrrrryyy its just my preference for adaptations and i find it a lot more fun to play with story wise. also some other reasons but i wont get into those
polyamorous and bisexual (bi because... obvious reasons. poly because of that one couple they meet up with in the comic every now and then. my favourite ... ship (i think thats the right term?) in the comic. i love them.)
gas mask because it looks cool + chemical shenanigans ("oh but those didnt exist" shh. shhhhh.")
speaking of chemicals! they are much more into science. mostly does science-y stuff when theyre hyde though. they like to break into lodgers rooms and contribute to experiments.
facial hair. thats it. no further reasoning will be given
tried making jekyll in the concept redesign of him look older. failed SO bad im sorry i know its horrible.
hyde has pointy ears + pointer teeth (and green tongue because potion goop) + slit pupils because i am incapable of designing a human hyde. i have no idea why but i just cant.
earrings because 1: i have a bad habit of giving designs earrings and 2: i remember seeing a few headcanons of j&h with earrings and they were so tasty to look at so i had to do my own
bandage scarf thing from the beta tgs hyde design + newer tgs design that only shows up in the mind... world.... thing.
added the uhhh goggles from the old design too.
red and green hat because i couldnt decide if i wanted hyde to have the red hat from the old design of tgs hyde or the green hat from the current design. ripped it in half and chose both. great decision making i know
chunks of brown hair in hydes because why not. also red ring around one eye as like a weird variant of half heterchomia.
hyde has weird patches of green colored skin idk it just looked cool when i was fiddling with colors so i kept it
hyde has red scales in certain spots of the design. no further explanation
gave hyde black gloves to contrast jekylls white gloves + cmon. hyde probably touches the most gross revolting shit with the places they go to. they deserve some gloves.
changed their body type a litttttle bit just a smudge
i was going to give jekyll a cravat around the neck (a really bad designing habit of mine is to give characters cravats. not my fault they look so cool) both as a fancy thing + to hide lack of a adams apple buuttt the design felt way too clumped so im scrapping that. ignore the cravat in the drawing. grrr bARKBAKRABK
actually does sparkle visually/not just as a non-existent visual effect and people can actually see it. lanyon always swats them away because the sparkles get in his face.
hyde is more shorter than shown in the comic, more like book hydes height. like a foot or more shorter than jekyll. jekyll stays around the same height though. hydes probably the shortest one in the society.
permanent eyebags. does not sleep but cmon we all already knew that
hyde has a strong scottish accent instead of the other accent he fakes in the comic that i always forget the name of
has a cane like the og book. its a sword cane.... yeah i have a addiction, im sorry. (like half my own personal characters have sword canes)
i suck so bad at drawing shoes so hydes shoes look like ass but theyre supposed to be big boots since this guy probably walks through yucky mucky areas and stuff
i would totally write some oneshots or something like that of these guys going on adventures doing experiments and stuff yknow . (stuff like lodgers content and interactions, lanyon and hyde interactions because i enjoy secret identity and person said secret identity personal knows outside of their secret identity interactions, that one couple i talked about before interactions with jekyll/hyde and just in general random oneshots that make no sense) if i actually had any literacy skill
anyways im done my ramble. now you guys can shoot me
#the glass scientists#but like#i ruined it#sorry guys i sneezed on tgs j&h theyre trans and neurodivergent now#embracing my cringe#tgs hyde#tgs jekyll#but extremely torn apart#not literally torn apart i mean figuaritytuibjvbvkvj#posting this knowing its gonna get me on atleast 7 different peoples hitlists#ok im gonna go snore mimimi now#my tgs headcanon world

what do you like about rotmhs? like what draws you in?
GAHH IM SO GLAD YOU ASKEDDD at the top of my head thhe top three things i felt really drew me into and made me fall in love w rotmhs is the found family/bonds before blood narrative, the action/fight scenes, and the comedy..
rotmhs is not a romance and i feel like that really pushes people away from reading it, especially folks who were first introduced to east asian novels through bl (specifically mxtxs novels like mdzs tgcf etc etc) which i feel is incredibly disappointing because yallre missing out on a certain depth of writing and nuance you otherwise wouldnt get in a romance focused novel. (orv is another extremely popular knovel with no romance.. if you like orv PLEASE give rotmhs a shot)
rotmhs is about a dead man resurrected a hundred years into the future having to come to terms w the fact that everyone he loved is dead and that the only home he ever had was destroyed, its inhabitants and centuries worth of teachings burned to the ground, and that it was partially his fault these things happened, so in order to prevent a future catastrophe he knows is on the horizon, he trains the youth of this new generation and finds a new home surrounded by ghosts in the wreckage of his home of his past
⬆️…very dramatic but somewhat accurate barebones synopsis of rotmhs which is fairly faithful enough methinks.. rotmhs doesnt make a point of going ‘heyy these guys are family nowww theyre brothers and sisters and love each other like familyyy’ LOL the growth is very subtle and before u can really blink ur like ‘oh man.. chung myung would kill for these kids. obliviously though. i dont think he knows he even likes them’ all the while hes still aching w the loss of his loved ones before.. if we’re being really really honest chung myung, the mc, truly is the star of the show and a character i got attached to incredibly quickly.. hes so stupid but so smart he has so many issues i want to hit him with my car then nurse him back to health just to hit him again
chung myung himself is a whole other thing i could get into but he has so many layers.. so much depth.. on the surface ud look at him and think what a punk but look a little closer and then ud think oh this punk has depression ptsd survivors guilt hallucinations etc etc LIKE DAMN.. I THIUGHT HE WAS JUST A FUNNY LITTLE GUY WHYD I GET SUCKER PUNCHED
what was i even talking about. OH right romance. please please dont let the lack of romance dissuade you, imo it is soooo refreshing to read something that isnt focused on romance like i love yaoi like the next bl reading bitch but damn.. ive always been into found family and while the bl novels i have read did always have a little hint of it, i always wanted more and rotmhs fills that void
(that being said i cant stop yall from shipping if yall want LOL im guilty of shipping charas too despite everythiing i just said… if yall want yalls yaoiyuri fix may i direct yalls attention to the ‘doomed by the narrative, tragic best-friends-to-almost-lovers tangchung’ & ‘love at first sight sweethearts iseolsoso’ ….. :SMILES: I LOVE TANGCHUNG..!!!!!!)
NEXT, the action and fight scenes in rotmhs, even in written text form, are sublime to say the least.. my fail cis dudebro trait is that i love crazy insane adrenaline rushing heart pumping shounen-esque battles so much that i could typically care less for the rest of that specific piece of media as long as the fights are good.. FORTUNATELY FOR ME rotmhs is crazy good at balancing its comedy, action, and otherwise more ‘mundane’ scenes together so harmoniously that its such fun read even when theres no swords crossing or heads being beaten in
also important to note, despite being a knovel w korean naming of characters/places, rotmhs actually takes place in ancient china in a wuxia setting so jumping head first into it wont be all that confusing for first time readers/cmedia fans and u can use ur knowledge of cnovels to fill in the gaps.
theres not really much more i have to say on the topic of fighting, im just personally a huge fan of the crazy spectacles rotmhs brings to the table.
saved this for last but THE COMEDY…!!!!!!!! after being soo dramatic w all my previous points and comments ur probably thnkng rotmhs is heavy and somber w no breathing room.. WELL YOURE WRONG. ROTMHS IS FUNNY AS HELL quips and jokes and simple funny actions and scenes litter nearly every page. i mentioned this novel balances its action and comedy well and im NOT LYING youd think maybe the heavy action and light comedy would awkwardly clash but u cldnt be more further from the truth.. rotmhs wears action and comedy like a pair of twin gloves
rotmhs handles its action and comedy in equal doses and it all fits together like matching puzzle pieces, like i really cant stress enough how fun it is to read. not every fight scene is somber, most of the time its chung myung oneshotting someone by hitting them across the head so hard they pass out..
unfortunately im not really the best at listing instances so its be better for u to go read it for urself but this scene from one of the later chapters is soo funny every time i read it i start giggling
(LIGHT/MINOR SPOILERS FOR THE NOVEL it probably doesnt even matter u wont even remember this when u start reading)
right so i think thats most of it.. too lazy to read through everything i just wrote so if nothing makes sense… well. …well!
rotmhs deserves to have the same amount of fame as ORV and MDZS and TGCF have and it is my civil duty as one of the oldest mxtx novel outlets on tumblr to put yall on it..
my thumbs hurt from typing so im done now but if u have anymore questions PLEASE ASK IM SO DESPERATE TO TALK ABOUT ROTMHS ok byyyeeeeeeee

apocalypse byler part 10: senior prom scenario!
mike and will occupy the empty auditorium, seeing all the abandoned decorations that scatter the place. streamers are on the floor, balloons are deflated and the sign that says ‘HH SENIOR PROM’ is old and tattered, its one side hanging from the other.
the two boys take a minute walking around, to process the tragic image of a school event that never came to be. will picks up a lone decoration and tries to attach it to the wall with a somber smile on his face. mike on the other hand, looks at the display of empty tables and strokes his hand through the fabric.
‘i wonder how theyre doing.’
‘who?’ mike asks.
’the people. they were supposed to have their prom.’
‘yeah?’
‘so im just wondering how they are right now. so many memories could have been made. they were probably so excited, and it was stolen away, just like that. they didnt know any better either.’ will says, rubbing his fingers together inspecting specks of dust. ‘they must have been so confused… scared.’
‘its not your fault. we’re going to take everything back the way it was.’ mike says in an instant, as if he knew what will was gonna say. will looks back at mike, then to the streamers, and nods slowly.
‘yeah…you’re right. sorry.’
mike stares at will for a while until he clears his throat. ‘you ever had dances back in cali?’
will smiles, shrugging. ‘yeah, one time. it was a smaller event but it was fun.’
mike smiles back, but it quickly fades. ‘did you..manage to meet anyone?’ mike asks.
will chuckles, smirking at mike. ‘well fortunately for you…no. i had some girls who asked me, but i said no.’
mike crosses his arms and looks down with a grumpy look. ‘if it were you 4 years ago, youd be dancing with girls all night.’
will blushes. ‘you’re exaggerating. it was only 2 girls, anyway.’
mike walks to will with a teasing grin on his face. ‘Will the Heartbreaker.’ has a nice ring to it.’ will giggles, punching mike gently on his stomach. ‘i am not.’
’good,’ mike say softly behind will, making the other boy turn around. mike then wraps his arms around will’s waist and pulls him close, making him gasp. ‘i only want you breaking my heart.’
will’s smile drops. ‘..i dont want to break your heart at all.’
’i don’t mind if you did. especially how much of a dumbass i was, i kinda deserve it.’ mike says it jokingly, but will’s kicked puppy dog expression stays the same, making mike’s humerous demeanor drop immediately.
will looks into mike’s eyes, putting both of his hands on his cheek. ‘stop saying that. all you deserve is the best.’ he retorts.
’well… good thing i already have the best.’ mike says with the biggest shit eating grin as their faces draw closer, their foreheads touching.
‘god, you’re such a dork.’ will whispers, looking down. he moves his hands from mike’s cheeks to around his neck, pulling mike closer than he already was. ‘i dont think i can handle you during an actual prom date.’
’oh you wouldnt, byers. im gonna be the cheesiest goddamn date youll have.’
‘oh yeah?’
’yeah. i have plans.’ mike says smugly.
’you thought about it?’ will presses, with mike nodding. will’s curiosity was getting the best of him, and feels himself getting bold.
‘…what would you prefer our prom date be like?’
with mike’s hands around will’s waist and will’s around his neck, it didnt take long for them to start swaying their bodies together. there was no music, only the sound of their gentle breathing. for both of them, it was more than enough.
‘hmm. let’s see. i’d uh..pick you up from your house…’
’mhmmm?’ will hums, looking at mike with so much love. his mouth starts to hurt from smiling.
’id give you flowers.’ will scoffs and rolls his eyes. mike chuckles and continues.
‘… and a mixtape,’ will looks up at mike once again. ‘..of all the songs that reminded me of you when you were gone.’ the two boys smile at each other.
’and we’d take photos. id hold your hand. our moms would be all over us.’
will laughs in response. ‘we’d never make it to prom at that point.
mike giggles. ‘yeah.’
he notices will bite his lip and avoiding mike’s gaze. ‘whats up?’ he asks.
will loves the way mike wont let him have any thought unspoken.
‘would you want to do that to yourself, though..?’
mike furrows his eyebrows, still not getting at what will’s saying.
’would you want to be seen with me?’
mike stops in his steps, ceasing their swaying motion. will’s gaze was still averted, clearly fearful.
‘i just dont want you to feel uncomfortable. i dont wanna pressure you or feel like you have to be seen with me because-
mike puts his one hand on will’s face and brushes his thumb on his cheek.
‘will. i love being with you. and i want people to see me be with you. and if they have a problem with that?’
mike’s thumb gently lifts will’s chin up, making their eyes meet. ‘’then they can go to hell.’
will stays silent, taken aback by mike’s simple but impactful words. its as if his worries were washed away in an instant. not too long after, his eyes are flooding with tears.
‘…are you sure?’
mike sighs and kisses will’s forehead. ‘yes. when this is all over, i swear to god im taking you to prom. and not just prom, but dates too. we’ll listen to music together. i’ll introduce you properly to my parents. and all the things i said before wont just be a fantasy anymore. we’ll be out in public, where everyone can see us. i dont want to hide anymore, will.’ will’s lips curl up the more he hears mike talk.
mike looks at him with expectant eyes. ‘do you… feel the same way?’
’yeah!…yeah.’ will sniffs. ‘i do. id really like that.’
‘cool!’ mike replies, his voice cracking. the two boys start laughing together.
‘cool.’
mike stops laughing and looks at will in the eyes with a confident smile. ’remember, whatever happens..’
’..we’ll face it together.’
they smooch ❤️❤️❤️

Do you have any 00 characters you like, aside from the innovades and the Trinitys?
yes and im sorry i dont really talk about them or draw them (only sometimes) 😭 i posted a tierlist awhile back & i have no idea where it is . so i will just talk about everything here now :) it will probably be VERY long so i am putting it under a read more. also this will be full of spoilers but i guess that makes sense <- saying if anyone stumbles upon it & is still watching
edit its super long 🙏🙏🙏🙏 HOPE YOU ENJOY READING
my absolute favorites besides the innovades (trinities included) are neil and chris! i did draw neil a few more times than anyone else thats not an innovade, and sadly only drew chris once for her bday 😭 IVE REALLY GOT TO DRAW HER MORE shes so cute and fun to draw..
my opinions of neil were very rocky at the start and i didnt like him AND IT WASNT EVEN HIS FAULT 😭 i first played dwg3 before watching anything gundam related at all (and then started by watching 00); i didnt know which lockon stratos was in dwg3 but he was kind of annoying to me </3 and because i couldnt tell them apart i just supposed it was neil and hereby disliked him 😭 well . that one was lyle but i found that out later ... thruout s1 i slowly got to like neil more and more and by s1 finale i was absolutely crushed . my opinions on tieria may also be foreverchanging, but one thing we share for sure is that we hated neil till he died then just didnt anymore </3
chris i liked a lot from the beginning because of how easygoing and nice she was with everyone, and in more ways than one she reminded me of myself 🥺 i also dont really see very often characters that like coding or technical stuff & are extroverted & like fashion so this felt like a win for me.. finally... some representation (real). this all and her whole thing with weekly crushes is so 😭😭 when she first saw johann and got a pic with him IMMEDIATELY and thought he was hot n then got sad that he was evil and fucked up was so me 🙏 so with how much chris meant to me & how they basically replaced her with mileina that i do not like for variety of reasons was my personal 9/11 for this anime
now besides these two i also hold quite literally majority of all characters in high regard. i love patrick a lot for being funniest guy around & kati his not bayonetta badass wife ... i dont usually do shipping but theyre really so cute together i always go 🥺🥺🥺 when they were just happy together. saji and louise too !!!! the whole story with how their relationship changed and evolved was so great and i was hooked. marie is absolutely one of my favorites in terms of backstory & the peak of s2 to me (yes ... despite the innovators because i didnt like a lot of handling of them 😭) — i really didnt care all that much about soma in s1 and then they elevated that so hard in s2. i am not a person that holds family things in high regard due to my own personal bad experiences, but besides her backstory with allelujah, the scenes between her and becoming smirnov's family were always so dear to me whenever we got them 🥺 this was also really just from a little side thing of the extra s2 chibi animation, but that scenario of them all taking a trip to heaven and marie making andrei talk to his parents and them getting all together was so sweet as well i love loved that one ...
despite it all, i also truly believe graham is best boy of the entire 00 series. this guys so peak i dont even know where to begin; the bond between him and his other squadron members was so good. it was a real shame they kind of had to go 😭 his love for the flags was also so real... and this guys VERY good at what hes doing, like my guy could fight off whole gundams with gn drives in some far underdeveloped flags. i know some people didnt like the turn they went for with him in s2 where he became weeb supreme but i thought it was so funny 🙏 MR BUSHIDO LOVE. he also got a super cool custom ms so i gotta give it to him ... all & all as well, this guy then sacrificed himself, died a hero, and was so cool he just came back to life to become a new meister. how can any other guy in this beat THAT ☝️
for the rest of meisters, i am sorry everyone. i did not care about setsuna that much </3 i acknowledge him and his greatness and how much hes helped multiple people here, but whenever they just wanted to mirror setsuna and saji i always ended up being more interested in saji im sorry 😭 ; allelujah is a little guy i just felt sorry for the entire time for literally everything . all the way from the start from the debacle with tieria that was so crazy to the hallelujah struggles to then having to also struggle with soma 😭 this guys just the real struggler. the supreme struggler of all time. i hope he gets some rest he really needs it asap ; lyle i used to not like because of . how he even started off in the scene with feldt </3 AND I LOVE FELDT like get ur hands off her omg ... but he did grow from then and i think hes pretty epic now, him killing off ali was also super satisfying in the end of it all :)
for the rest of ptolemy, talked briefly about feldt above, i think shes great but also her changing crushes between meisters was so funny 😭 like you go girlie i guess ... ! she tried her best . her holding the crew in such high regards as her own family was very wholesome 🥺 LICHTY 😭 lichty was so funny too and. well. LIKE I GET IT i get the drama that went down in s1 but i wish it didnt have to end like that skllwmegj😭😭😭😭 i wish theyd just have a near death experience and then him and chris could just get to be happy together after but i guess not 😔 sumeragi & kati's intertwined backstories we got to know more of thru s2 were really cool to see, and billy's love for her punched me and kicked me into a wall. this man loved her SO much its unreal . hes such a good guy 😭 (which it kind of ticks me off he ended up with mina ........... LIKE COULD YOU GUYS NOT FIND A MORE NORMAL PERSON FOR HIM 😭 i think he deserved better but thats just my personal opinion ... im sure theres a lot of people out there who want mina right NOW and would disagree. so this ones for u guys . if u think shes epic and cool then i guess he got peak ! good for him) ; other unmentioned members i had no real big opinion on 😭😭😭😭 i sometimes even forget lasse exists i am sorry . hes done nothing wrong just left absolutely no opinion on me 🙇♀️
now im not gonna detail THE REST as well but again i literally hold everyone in high or at least neutral regard from ali to whatever the name of the a-laws blond evil guy was im sorry 🙏 the only two i can even say i dislike in the slightest are mileina and alejandro 😭 which is such a duo out of every character in this to tie together . i know . but yeah i hope you enjoyed the sumi rambles 00 NO INNOVADES edition 👍👍 i tried to be as true to myself and my opinions as possible so heres all of them . on paper. digital tumblr paper

how is forst kill racist?
well. honestly, this show is so bad that even ignoring the blatant racism baked into the narrative, it still sucks so much. that said, obviously the racism is by far the worst aspect of the show, terrible execution of what could’ve been a very sexy plot aside, and assuming you’re asking because you haven’t seen the show, I am going to try to explain the main issues with its handling of race in the narrative. but like. oh boy. there’s a lot. (disclaimer that I’m not black so my perspective here is definitely limited, and if anyone wants to add to this non-exhaustive explanation of faults in this truly terrible show, be my guest.)
first and foremost, the show is very unsubtly inspired by the dynamics presented in romeo & juliet. if you haven’t seen the show and think this is me doing my regular shtick of connecting everything back to shakespeare, I promise you that a) I don’t actually think the writers understand r&j enough for me to want to draw that connection and b) it’s even more overtly established in the text than you can even imagine.
the main character is literally named juliette. at one point, while standing on a stage of her school’s production of r&j, she even says to her romeo (her monster hunter gf calliope) “wow, our families sure are just like the montagues and the capulets, huh.” theyre bashing you over the head with these parallels just in case you didn’t get what they were going for. that said, their families are NOT, in fact, just like the montagues and the capulets, because there is a CLEAR power imbalance between them. r&j only works if the two households are “both alike in dignity.” if the feud is morally justified in any way, the entire play simply does not work.
with that said, allow me to describe the feuding factions:
the atwood fairmont (white) family is a clan of ancient “legacy” vampires descended from lilith (its own whole antisemitic can of worms, but other people have already spoken on this) who are born vampires, have unlimited power both physically and socially, and cannot be killed. also, despite this never being explicitly stated, they do live in a giant old money mansion in savannah, georgia, and their family clearly owned slaves. this family wields their power and influence to control people, dominate their bodies without their consent, and kill them without remorse.
their daughter (not juliette, the other one, who is just the most cliched possible caricature of an Evil Woman) is literally a serial killer. it’s established within the lore of this show that other than the First Kill, which is basically when a legacy vampire finishes going through puberty, legacy vampire bites don’t actually need to kill people. but juliette’s sister elinor does kill innocent people just for fun, just for lols. to be clear, the narrative does criticize her for this, I’m just mentioning it to illustrate my point about this WASP family’s legacy (get it??) being one of colonialism, genocide, and slavery that perpetuates into the modern day is not an ambiguous connection to make (despite the fact that unlike the topic of romeo & juliet, the subject of slavery is never actually mentioned in this show, despite its otherwise utter dearth of subtlety).
the lore of this white vampire family and their ties to their ancient ancestors are explored in depth. we find out how juliette’s parents fell in love, what her grandmother is like, why their traditions exist, the extent of their powers as vampires, the backstory of juliette’s other siblings. I’m saying this now to illustrate that we get NONE of this from the burns (black) family, even when a lot of complicated and confusing implications arise from these gaps in the worldbuilding that they do not bother to address.
the burns family is a family of monster hunters. as calliope explains in an obnoxious VO, other families have cookouts in the yard, go to the movies together, and go to disneyland, but her family is different (that said, we do later see her family have a cookout in their yard, so what is the truth). calliope really wants to kill her first monster, to prove to her family that she is just as capable as her brothers theseus and apollo. yes, her whole family has insane names based on greek mythology, and this is literally never explained.
in another VO, calliope explains that her family have been monster hunters for 2000 years. again, it’s implied that her family is african american, so... how does she know that? despite the fact that the atwood family is clearly supposed to represent the old money southern families who made their fortune off of plantations, is slavery just... not a thing that happened in this universe? or are her family immigrants? if so, this is never addressed. presumably because the writers didn’t actually care enough to explore this glaring detail.
the burns family are presented as almost bloodthirsty in their hatred of monsters, which they kill not just to protect others, but almost fanatically, with cultlike devotion, so as to earn approval from the higher ups in their weird little organization. their family is presented as sympathetic and loving, but also flawed and prejudiced, just like the atwoods. both families are shown to love each other, and hate the other family with blind rage. and presumably, both are equally wrong in their prejudice.
but. we never actually see a monster besides juliette who isn’t an abject danger to society. even the rest of her family eat people, eat each other, murder for funsies, and abuse their power at every turn. but calliope meets one rich white girl vampire who wears shoes on her bed (not actually important, but that pained me physically) who doesn’t want to hurt others, and it prompts her to ask her blasian best friend/ex-girlfriend (whose parents are killed by the legacy vamps and then she literally never returns onscreen lmfao) whether they are the real monsters. I mean, they sure are presented as equally harmful...
juliette has a conscience despite being a legacy vampire, and calliope recognizes this, and calliope has a conscience despite being a monster hunter, and juliette recognizes this, and they promise to never hurt each other despite their roles. which is all very sweet and lovely, but why do these girls seem to think that they are like romeo and juliet? the montagues didn’t hate the capulets because the capulets ate people (...presumably). the capulets didn’t have clear and overt power over the montagues in every regard. this feud, on the other hand, presents a race war between two factions who are presented as equally prejudiced against the other, despite the fact that it’s obvious that the extremely powerful white family of murderers are clearly worse than calliope’s reasonably stubborn family of (admittedly militaristic and fanatical) beast exterminators. never mind that the vampires made a fortune off of slavery and continue to abuse their powers to kill people, the burns family are clearly wrong for not immediately approving of calliope’s relationship with some girl from a family of serial killers.
(also I didn’t even mention juliette’s black best friend who talks like if someone watched one episode of glee and decided they now understood gay men and who inexplicably has a white mom named bunny, whom he refers to as bunny, not mom or any variation thereof, so presumably she isn’t his real mom, but also what’s the deal with that??? who even is bunny she’s never even properly introduced?????? why is her name bunny????? nope. never explained. not important I guess. anyway.)
while calliope is ostensibly presented as the co-protagonist of this show, she and her entire family are woefully underdeveloped as compared to the vampire clan. in terms of black representation, this is obviously an issue, but the reason they’re undeveloped betrays an even more pressing issue, which is that if they were given an ounce of context, nuance, or sympathy, the entire thesis of the show would fall apart. the show can only work if this family is flat and unscrutinized, so of course it’s such a #diversitywin that they’re black.
and of course if you criticize this terrible, awful, irredeemable piece of writing, it’s because you hate diverse media and lesbians specifically. on paper, the premise of this show could be written well, but for some reason, the creators decided to make all the worst possible decisions for every single element of this show. the nonsensical writing on a micro and macro level, the obnoxious editing, even the costume choices, all felt specifically designed to slap their audience in the face. but of course, the fact that this entire show is scaffolded by a race war between two deeply uneven factions who are nonetheless presented as equal evils is by far its worst element.

Low key trying not to be thirsty over skagen and solvei bc im not sure their age but you draw them so pretty u_u
AUFJEHFJ its okay, my timelines for them and all that are kinda confusing its my fault for being sloppy lol
whenever i draw the two of them together and solvei has longer hair and a scar on her chin theyre both in their twenties, solvei also has a different outfit in this universe/timeline, where her shirt only has one full sleeve and the other arm is covered in fishnets. almost all of my drawings of them together is of them in their twenties because i think the universe where she lives is much more fun to explore rn than skagen being alone and sad (i think the only exceptions where both of them are in their teens are 2 drawings of 1) skagen with his newly fish hooked eye at the hospital and 2) him hugging solvei while shes playing a zelda game. its an old drawing). also whenever i draw skagen with his transgender tits out hes in his twenties as well 👍👍👍 i would feel weird drawing a teenager shirtless like that 😐 hope this helps.
i'll try to be more clear about their age when i jump between timelines and shit lol i dont mind people finding them attractive HDJWHSJDJ
anyways THANK YOUUU i really love them a lot and it means so much to me that others enjoy them <3
#guys its ok to be a little bit thirsty over my ocs they are hot. its ok#i dont blame you for being confused about my timelines also djabfjejjdksbs i promise ill make a big post about them soon#where i kinda compile all the info on them and their universe and story etc#corps.oc#ask

on that topic tho i like martin as a character and his relationship with HOF, but really only through the lens of what i see them as and not how the original plot and charaterisation has it all be.
in my and cel's canon, it's made pretty clear to cel and martin that they dont actually have a choice and this is what's going to happen- because jauffre, the blades, and the rest of the council want it to be this way. martin never wanted to be emperor, he still doesnt want to be, he doesnt think he SHOULD be, his apparent heritage means nothing to him because it was never a part of his life at all, and while he WILL do research into stopping the oblivion crisis he just doesnt. want. to be emperor. it's neither something he wants nor believes is right. but he's going to be, because now he doesnt really have a choice, the blades are around him 24/7 so he cant LEAVE, and everyone is telling him this is what he HAS to do and he might as well accept it. it's his divine right and destinyyyyyy! why else would he be drawn to akatosh? seeeeee it was meant to be all along!!!!
and cel is literally only there due to being the dude that gave the necklace to jauffre hoping he'd get paid, and went to go find the next emperor again hoping he'd get paid or at least some sort of nice pay off from the empire. and he got neither! and now he's being paraded around as the errand boy-hero who will restore the empire and help save the world from the tyranny of the daedra and uphold the empire's values, too scared to leave for fear of being chased down, and also the guilt of abandoning martin to what HE dragged him into, and also what if theyre right and this IS the only way?? its not, i wholly believe there are other ways to end the oblivion crisis, but this is what cel is scared into believing.
basically, youre going on that throne whether you like it or not, youre not going to be able to look for an alternative route to stop mehrunes dagon, and youre going to be good boys and hold up the status quo or they WILL find another convenient bastard and hero to replace you two and if they dont then its all your fault the world ends <3
its what draws them together throughout the entire oblivion crisis, not knowing how to escape what theyve got themselves into, they only have each other and they share their feelings of being trapped. and it ends with martin dying for something he didnt really believe in and cel becoming the madgod.
and afterwards? everything about them is sanitized into something more palatable as martyrs and heroes to be sold to the populace. martin's past with daedric cults and sanguine is smoothed over, cel's life as an assassin and necromancer is watered down, all so that the empire can continue to hold them up as 'bastions of empirical ideals', because look! they may have had some sordid past but they saw the light and got on the right path and became good members of society! you too can be a good member of society just like these two! theyre ideals to strive towards!
their whole thing is just fucking tragic. and way more fun for me.

i know the ask game is for different media but i'm gonna ask for your oc fable :3
i thought youd never ask
favorite thing about them:
everything! i love them to death and they're a super fun character to play. if i HAD to choose i think that their personality is my favorite? they're very emotionally constipated and its super funny to me like. they see the guy they have a crush on and immediately freeze up to their default resting face LOLL and their range of emotion is very limited.
least favorite thing about them:
they are SO complicated and difficult to draw it drives me nuts. i know this is my fault but also they really love to do their hair elaborately and like. they have scales. so its just a lot of small things to draw and it makes me INSANE why are they like this.
favorite line:
ummm i dont really have one?? my memory is bad on a good day but if i had to choose.... another character, atlan, is growing wings out of his back and fable was human before they were yuan-ti. so they clapped him on the back and said "i didn't have scales, once..." and atlan did NOT get what they were implying. or uhh if actions count. they have a crush on this guy named makalani and they popped up behind their best friend (bia), scared the shit out of her, and demanded advice. when they actually went to apply the advice, they chickened out and bia had to physically push them towards makalani LOL
brOTP:
fable and bia are such besties i love them so much. fable is a 29 year old asshole who cant ask for no pickles at a burger king and bia is 20 and can navigate her way through any social situation so its a super funny dynamic. theyre silly :)
OTP:
fable has a crush on makalani and if they dont get together i'll perish. so abby if ur reading this-
random headcanon:
not a "headcanon" since theyre my character but um..... they have a tattoo on the outside of their thigh of two twining snakes that they got as a student (pre-yuan-ti transformation LOL) and they have a strength of 7 ^-^
song i associate with them:
favorite picture of them:
not my favorites per se but these r some of the most recent lol if i put down every single one of the things ive drawn abt them id take up the entire post
anyway. tldr im autistic and i love my autistic son (fable is 10 years older than me)

jess, may i please request u write me some sharon carter vibing as she roller skates backwards and either pepper is recording her hot ass gf, or theyre strangers and pepper is watching sharon from afar and is pining hard
Sharon Carter fell in love with roller skating at someone else’s eighth birthday party. While everyone else in her class was struggling to maintain balance, Sharon thought it was a breeze and raced around the rink about a million times.
When her mother came to pick her up, Sharon had stars in her eyes.
“Mom, I really, really wanna roller skate.”
Her mother doesn’t protest this, mainly because Sharon had become known as the “Hellion of the Studio” at the building she took her ballet classes in. While Sharon could definitely spin, twirl, and plie with the best of them, Sharon didn’t exactly like the classes.
“All the girls are boring,” she whined. “They don’t even like Power Rangers mom! Power Rangers!”
So Sharon starts skating lessons, other moms be damned. She gets her elbow pads, helmet, knee pads, and new skates that are plain black. Sharon prefers this, as she scorned all of the sparkly, pink, blue, and purple designs.
Sharon becomes a natural at skating. She can weave in and out of the crowds, do amazing trick shots to the beat of the music, and decides to join roller derby.
“Sharon, no,” Bucky says. “You could get killed!”
“I’m not going to die,” Sharon responds, rolling her eyes. “Roller derby does not mean death. Might break a bone or something, though.”
Bucky is the only friend that is concerned with safety.
Steve encourages her to break her arm.
“If you do, I can draw a garden on your cast.”
“Oh that’d be fucking sick!” Sharon cheers. “New goal!”
“I am surrounded by idiots,” Bucky mutters. “Idiots.”
Tony also skates and likes to support his cousin’s derby competitions. He also drags Pepper with him.
“Why are we at a skate place? Am I dying?” Pepper asks.
“You might,” Tony says. “Of love.”
Here’s the thing: Tony loves playing cupid. And he knows that Pepper will absolutely love his cousin and then they will have the perfect wedding that he can plan.
And from the beginning, Pepper falls hard.
Sharon’s part of the opening act, twisting all around the rink to the beat of the song, smiling and grinning at the crowds.
Pepper’s mouth goes dry.
“Is that...is that Sharon?” Pepper asks.
“Yup,” Tony says. “Cute, right?”
“Um...yeah. Oh my god she’s cute.”
-
Steve and Bucky can see Tony and Pepper a mile off.
“If she sees Pepper we’re so screwed,” Bucky moans. “She’ll look at her and get an arm broken!”
“Let’s bring Pepper to the front, I still haven’t gotten to make a garden cast,” Steve mentions. “I bought new green colors specifically for this!”
“Steve, I say this honestly. I’m concerned for your capacity of human emotion.”
Steve rolls his eyes.
“Don’t worry about me, asshole. I’d be more worried about you making eyes at Tony over there,” Steve says. “I know he’s your type. He has nice eyes.”
“Hmph,” Bucky huffs. “Let’s just get to the match and hope Sharon’s eyes are on the game.”
Sharon’s eyes are.
At least, until the score gets to be so high that she can have fun with the crowd and sees a woman with strawberry-blonde hair, an impish smile as she watches her race, and the best looks that Sharon’s ever seen.
Sharon Runs Into a Wall.
A Wall.
It’s her fault, honestly, even if their team still won.
Jennifer “The Jet” Walters and Carol “Captain Marvel” Danvers laugh at her.
“Just now only are you finally noticing a cute girl staring at you the whole round,” Jennifer says. “Finally.”
“I definitely only ran into the wall because of something else,” Sharon scoffs. “Not because that’s the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen.”
“Then get her number!” Carol calls out, skating around. “Just don’t fall on your ass again, 13!”
Sharon jumps, scores the winning point, and skates right on up to Pepper.
“Forgive me if I read the signals wrong, but I’d really think that we’d enjoy dinner together,” Sharon says. “I’m Sharon.”
Tony is grinning to the side. Sharon blanches.
“Tony?!”
“I told you that you’d fall for her!” Tony cackles. “I just didn’t think you’d do it literally!”
Pepper shoves Tony into the crowd, kissing Sharon’s cheek.
“You are correct with that. Let me get your number?”
Sharon leaves with a grin on her face, a date set for eight o’clock, and red lipstick imprinted onto her cheek.
Things are gonna be good.
#lovelyirony writes#also steve and sharon are best friends because they're fukcing idiots#pepper13#sharon carter#pepper potts#tony stark#bucky barnes#steve rogers#a HINT of winteriron.....as a treat#and yes carol and jen are on the roller derby team#what else would you expect from me

Bro I must get the lore on Cyril and Ignitus. How did they get together? Why did they decide to have a kid (specifically for the prophecy if I read right)? When did their relationship start going wrong? And, most importantly, is there going to be a parent-trap style subplot to try and get them back together?
OH THIS IS A DELICIOUS ASK THANK U OMG
okay so i actually, admittedly, have way more of this thought out than i should bc i dedicated hours of my time to daydreaming about this........//////MAJOR SPOILERS for some elements of the rewrite btw!!
our four main guardians have, in my canon, been incredibly close for many years. ignitus was always known as the wise-man and the voice of reason, and despite cyril's bad attitude, he was always honest and kept up with tradition to a fault. ignitus was good at difussing the bad situations cyril caused with his rude comments, but cyril often stood up for ignitus when the red dragon found himself to be a bit soft-spoken. the two had a deep respect for one another and they spent alot of time together as close friends.
when the year of the dragon was drawing close and the prophecy reared its head, ignitus and cyril were asked by a council of elder dragons to make the egg that would become their savior (yes, it is because red and blue make purple. im incredibly creative, i know!!!) the council figured that two heavily respected guardians that had excellent handles on their elemental abilities would create an ideal purple dragon for the future. the two initially weren't very keen on the idea, but they understood that they were only being asked to do so for the sake of their fellow dragons. eventually, they accepted the plea. ignitus was the sire and cyril was the dame in the situation (in the rewrite, spyro is mentioned specifically to have ignitus's horns and frills while also having cyril's eye shape and scale patterns)
intially, the two of them only did this because they saw it as their duty as guardians. yet, ignitus found himself fretting over cyril often. he would guide him around carefully, making sure he didn't stumble around given the weight of his belly during pregnancy. he got cyril food, groomed him, cleaned his room, and spoke about how he wondered what their egg may be like. though cyril was a bit bratty about everything, he was incredibly grateful for ignitus's diligence and patience. cyril would ask ignitus to stay in his nest for the night, and exclusively sought out ignitus for comfort and care. for the first time, cyril was being fairly polite and even seemed to be happier, and ignitus had come out of his shell. they spoke for hours about their egg's future, and then about their own. volteer and terrador jokingly referred to them as the "new pair of love doves". after some time, cyril was actually the first to confess that he loved ignitus (he was always a little too honest), having said "no one has ever chosen to put up with me for so long" and, despite being a little surprised, ignitus reciprocated, telling cyril that he "could never really grow tired of him". despite not knowing what the future held, the two decided they would do everything they could to raise their child together, and to be with each other through whatever the coming year would bring.
and then the raid happened. the temple was destroyed, chaos was everywhere, and the eggs were all shattered. cyril was injured, and ignitus, feeling frightened and panicked, sent their egg away to hopefully find a safer place to hatch. the war began not long after. although ignitus cared for cyril and stood beside him in battle, his guilt only grew as the war waged on. he couldn't help but blame himself for everything that had happened. cyril tried to talk him out of it, saying he was being irrational, saying that none of this could all possibly be his fault, saying there was nothing more ignitus could do. ignitus refused to listen, and put the blame for the war on his own shoulders, feeling that it was the only way he could properly take responsibility. the two of them fought harshly. ignitus couldn't come to terms with his own self-loathing and grief, and cyril couldn't find his softness and reasoning in a time when things were so hard. after their last fight, they didn't speak again, and cyril was captured a few days later. of course, ignitus entirely blamed himself, and lamented that the last words he ever spoke to cyril were words of anger and sadness, and cyril lamented the same in his cage.
when spyro arrives and frees the guardians, ignitus and cyril are intially very tense! they both never imagined seeing each other again, and they don't really how to apologize to one another and how to make up for all the negative energy and time between them. they barely speak to each other unless they have to, and they refuse to be in a room alone together for more than a few awkward seconds. spyro, ember, and flame can obviously see how weird they're acting, but terrador won't explain anything. the three kids go to volteer who, of course, literally can not keep his mouth shut about it. he tells them that ignitus and cyril were once together and deeply in love, but the war tore them apart. ember, seeing a touching love story in the making, decides "HEY!!! LET'S GET THEM TO MAKE UP!!!!" and literally drags spyro and flame into her plans. the kids do anything they can think of; sending the two guardians flowers from """"secret admirers", throwing around mushy-gooey poetic love notes, lighting candles everywhere, decorating the temple, and trying to set the "perfect romantic mood" for the two sad-sacks. eventually, they get caught, and cyril and ignitus bring them into the training room to reprimand them. not having the courage to speak up, ember and flame are silent, but spyro eventually confesses that volteer told them everything, and that the kids just want to see their guardians happy again. taken aback, the two send the children away, and are alone in the training room for the first time. after a bit of silence, cyril speaks up first. "you never apologized to me.." he mumbles, the air around him feeling cold. ignitus counters that cyril refused to speak to him. the two begin arguing, and it seems like this is just going to be another horrible fight, but the two war-torn dragons break down. ignitus admits that he feels its his fault because he sent spyro away, and he could never make up for all the pain the war caused those he cared about. he couldnt accept that it wasnt his fault because he was the head guardian, he needed to be better, he was SUPPOSED to be better. and he wasn't, and now it was all too late. after hearing this, cyril, for the first time in many years, found his softer side. he spoke gently, telling ignitus that no one expected him to do this on his own, and that he needed to learn to count on the others instead of expecting everything out of himself alone. cyril told him that, even though their future wasn't a happy one, at the very least, they were both there. and spyro had come home. after a bit more talking, there's definitely like, a super passionated lovey-dovey kiss and make up scene, and it closes with the two stupid boyfriends deciding theyre going to tell spyro the truth
AND YEAH BASICALLY THATS ABOUT THE GIST OF IT i am soooo fucking sorry this response got this fucking long but i genuinely adore this plotline and it makes me soft and fuzzy inside!!! and yeah basically their relationship is gonna go thru some ups and downs but itll develop alot more as the story goes alone and i think itll be alot of fun to show u guys!!!!! anyway ajfjfjjfd thank u for asking me this bc i was looking for an excuse to gush abt them lmao BUT if u have any other questions abt my rewrite or anything go ahead and ask!! thank u thank u thank u!!!! <3
#asks#THIS IS SO LONG IM SO SORRY#tlos#tlos rewrite#hejfjfjjd im like embarrassed i didnt realize how often i thought abt this subplot#mine

what do you think about the undertale ost vs. the deltarune one?
ok wait actually..... i could say a lot on this... overall theres a lot of reasons why i like the undertale ost a lot more but a lot of my faults with the deltarune ost are ones i think will be resolved when its actually released in its entirety and isnt just a single chapter you know what i mean...... also personal preference.
i was talking abut this earlier but undertale and deltarune have very different tones and themes than each other, and i do think that both of their respective osts compliment that actually. personally i like heavily story driven games and am not really a fan of games that actually have. game/fighting mechanics. deltarune absolutely behaves more like a fighting game due to its more advanced fighting mechanics and the fact that you have a party and kind of the basic leader/fighter/healer combo. also especially due to the fact that theres no clear cut genocide/pacifist runs, it dosent stress killing npcs as much like most fighting games do/as undertale did. also i love the difference in tone between the games, which i think the osts reflect well also..... undertale is all about choice and identity and interpersonal relationships and conflict resolution and the power of friendship etc. very story heavy... deltarune is extremely clear about the fact that your choices dont matter and though you may control kris’ soul, you dont Really have control over them...... its pretty heavily implied without having all that anyways considering the context of the last game. + the party feature & game mechanics take away from the singular identity aspect. but anyways im saying all that because the osts really reflect those tones for the games..... undertale has a lot of iconic pieces of music that really feel personal and extremely descriptive of the location or character they were made for. it has a video game music quality but is also very atmospheric and cinematic (?). in a way deltarune’s isnt..... i dont know how to describe it but deltarune’s ost just feels so much more Video Game-y....
plus i mentioned the individual themes for all the characters in undertale feeling very personal but deltarune really does not have that. it has a lot of characters but really the only one who follows up with the main trio throughout the whole chapter is lancer, unlike in undertale where you have a lot of characters staying relevant for the majority of the story. again i think this will be something that’ll be better when its released in full and theres more characters but within the chapter lancer is the one with the most recognizable theme...... which i think is also interesting because you have ralsei and susie but because of their involvement in your party and being puppeted by you i think you get a Lot less individuality from then than you would if they were npcs.
also....... the leitmotifs h. i love leitmotifs i think theyre such an interesting way to develop a story and characters and use the senses to draw emotions from the listener and toby fox is really really good at it..... in undertale it was done so well, like. there were some melodies that definitely showed up in quite a few songs especially in the finale but the soundtrack was extensive enough to where it came out pretty subtle & was most prominent in the emotional climaxes of the story so it worked Really well. again i think this will be better once deltarune can be viewed as a whole story and has more characters/story/music to work with but i didnt like the leitmotifs in chapter one. i remember hearing about the ‘dont forget, im with you in the dark’ motif in deltarune kind of being The Theme for the game and i thought it was really cool when i noticed it in some of the finale songs for undertale.... when i actually played deltarune i dont know if it was just me but i felt like that melody was in almost every single song i was listening to and after awhile i kind of got bored of hearing it so much. u know. it didnt really feel like that motif was being used in the most significant moments or used to tie anything together it was just being thrown in wherever... and a lot. i think that one and the beginning of lancer’s theme are the most prominent melodies in the game and while i dont think lancer’s was used for any really important scenes or whatever i liked the different variations of his theme they were fun and well done & did a lot for his character. so. i still have hope for the rest of the deltarune soundtrack....
also im completely enamored with the majority of the undertale ost meanwhile theres only like. 3ish from the deltarune ost that i like so far..... and my favorite deltarune song is the shortest at 12 seconds...... why..... gallery is So good......
and i know sound design isnt really part of the ost but uhh im obsessed with all the gaster related sounds being used in deltarune so far like for the failing cellphone & the sound in front of the bunker..... im SO interested. also for ANOTHER HIM........ i love gaster stuff so much & fox puts it in either secretly or so subtly but..... You Know :’( he seems to be doing it a lot more prominently this game im very excited...
so anyways. tldr; i like undertale’s way better but i objectively think the soundtracks of both games fit the tone & stories really well and that a lot of my issues with the deltarune ost will be resolved when it becomes an entire game like undertale instead of just an isolated chapter.
#ANYWAYS........ yes i love talking <'3 love getting asks like this....... please 😢😢#im listening to undertale & deltarune songs rn actually slkdjflskd#ask#anon#long post#ut

— am I your future?
request: Okay but pls imagine the rk's meeting an ex-boyfriend of readers... Like theyre home alone for the day and a stranger comes up to the door and theyre like "whomst the fuck" and then he reveals he's readers ex and he wants to talk with them. Imagine these jealous nervous bois freaking the fuck out because AHHH READER USED TO BE IN LOVE WITH THIS OTHER GUY AND HOW HE'S H E R E... And like what if theyd heard of this ex and knew he was bad news (im sorry im a hoe for protective/jealous rks...)
is this ok?? you wanted jealous type & bad ex baby?? did i do this right??
Connor:
• “come on, ordering dessert too?” he giggles, drawing soothing circles on your back, his pupils dawdling with a dreamy gaze on your features, raptured in your love, basking in that soft tug of your mouth
• you laugh, rolling your eyes “yes, dessert too” and then you mutter “since someone’s always eager to burn some calories with me”
• he bites his lips, blushing a bit blue on the tip of his nose “that’s not fair at all, it’s your fault for being so cute”
• “ahh now it’s my fault” you continue, his palms exploring your skin, lowering until they get in contact with your bottom
• “yes, [name], it’s your fault” he murmurs near your lobe, teasing you to no end
• well, no, there is an end
• an end with a very distinct name and surname
• “get a room, you two!” the shout of your ex between the chatter of your friends
• ugh
• your boyfriend goes rigid, a nervous titter, slightly embarrassed, touch lingering but devoid of the same warmth as before
• perfect! just perfect! you think, you were busy having a moment but nooo of course they’re gonna ruin it
• it was awkward enough when you got invited to this dinner without being told your ex was there too
• but you didn’t imagine it would be this bad
• don’t worry, as things can and will get worse
• in fact, watch!, your last partner is slowly snaking their way to both of you, a sly grin on the face and two bottles of beer
• they sit next to your precious robot, offering him to drink together, he politely refuses
• “can’t taste? a shame!” that stupid no-good begins a wishy-washy speech, obviously tipsy, trying to get a reaction, probably wanting a fight
• they do strike a nerve with you tho and you start tapping your nails on the marble table
• he notices, analyzing you from the corner of his lashes, his chords humming off and on, not paying attention
• he tries, i swear, he tries resisting and being his usual collected self
• but seeing you like this? fed up? distressed? casually checking your phone while he’s stuck listening such endless ramblings
• “um, sorry” he excuses himself, suddenly whisking you away from the room, hiding with you in the restroom
• “what– what are you doing?” breath hitching you find yourself against the wall, trapped by his body pressed onto yours
• “if your ex keeps talking I’m surely going to have a short circuit”
• you snort, not expecting him to be so brash but welcoming his behaviour with a gentle cupping of his jaw
• “besides” he kisses you “I was” another kiss “getting” kiss “kinda” again, a kiss “jealous”
RK900:
• he’s been waiting for the whole week, finally, a day where you two can be alone, rest, cuddle, simply indulge in each other
• he’s super happy about it, he can’t stop kissing you while you’re both playing some boring board game
• i mean, it’s not boring since you know, he’s a super clever AI, he can switch on your competitive side in every match
• the bell?? he looks in your eyes and you in his
• “are we expecting someone?” he questions and you nod in disagreement
• “I’ll go get the door” he plants a tiny peck on your forehead and leaves the couch
• but as soon as you hear the voice of the person behind the (now open) door your blood freezes
• “baby? it’s for you” his tone is neutral but he doesn’t move, effectively blocking the entrance
• you reluctantly join him on the threshold and stare at your ex
• “what do you want?” you lean onto your lover, a deadly mix of fear, bad memories and utter annoyance clouds your mind
• but he’s not stupid, he picks it up the moment you speak, already angry at the fact that his afternoon was ruined by some random scum
• actually, not random, that’s what makes him livid
• it’s your fucking ex, you had feelings, you had sex, you had a relationship
• all things that you have with him now
• to say he’s jealous would be terribly kind
• he’s almost denting the door jamb his hand is resting on
• yep speaking of that, the other free one swiftly grabs you by your hip in a lovely grip, tender, sweet, how he is
• the complete contrary of your ex btw
• the only time he asked you about them you got tense for the whole night
• and he felt so guilty about not being more careful and so mad with your last partner
• “you’ve got yourself an android? wow, sunken so low?”
• you close your lids for a second and sigh in exasperation, really? very predictable
• “yeah, you’re right, he treats me nice and loves me, the bar’s sunken pretty low”
• this dork can’t help but let a low and quick chuckle escapes his lips
• the same that go onto yours, kissing you deeply, passionately, nearly leaving you gasping
• he tilts your head, caressing your cheek, then turns to the person standing on the doorway again
• “i’m sorry, as my partner said before, do you truly have business here?”
• your thoughts still hazy, your ex about to speak but—
• he closes the door in front of their face with a loud bang
RK800-60:
• it’s a chilly summer evening, fresh breeze, a limpid sky, honestly the only thing to do is go out and enjoy detroit’s nightlife
• plus, it’s your boyfriend we’re talking about, he’s the embodiment of having fun 24/24 h
• you find a nice club, music not too loud but there nevertheless, if he wants he can go dancing while you’re sipping your drink
• which is a thing that might or might not happen
• he doesn’t want to leave you alone but gosh the beat is totally calling him
• “hello, is this seat free?”
• a familiar tone drills through your ears, you whip towards the sound
• your ex
• god, your ex
• you briefly mentioned something about them to your darling but
• “yes, it is” he smiles and replies, unaware of the situation
• “oh but it’s you, [name]! how long has it been? six months?”
• “more than that”
• “seriously? time flies then!”
• “you know this person, sweetie?” he half-whispers, his expression that of a lovesick puppy, already oddly getting the hint of something being wrong, probably because of your accelerated pulse he can feel with his fingers on your wrist
• “y–yeah, it’s my ex—”
• “so clumsy of you, [name], you should introduce me properly”
• he’s dumb when he wants but not this time, his LED blaring red, fidgeting and moving closer to you, an arm around your shoulder, protecting you
• “don’t worry, I can do that myself. nice to meet you, I’m [name]’s boyfriend.”
• there was absolutely no need to but he did it anyway
• he’s so nervous please excuse him
• not only he’s jealous because he’s a champ in inferiority complex
• but he’s also fuming? it’s pretty obvious how mean is this asshole you don’t have to tell him
• “you’ve found someone else? thought our relationship left you quite heartbroken, but then again, you’ve always been the promiscuous type, haven’t you?” a snicker and there’s nothing after that
• your android doesn’t hesitate and strikes a punch, perhaps putting too much force and fracturing their nose
• he’s not even completely conscious about his action, he just felt the urge and did it, his LED slowly returning to yellow and then blue
• “what the fuck—” your ex doesn’t get to finish the phrase, him grabbing the collar of their shirt, his fist feigning another hit and they put their hands to cover the face, scared, trembling
• “don’t you dare approach [name] ever again, clear?” he grits through his teeth but there’s no response “I said, are we clear?”
• after a feeble choked ‘yes’ he loosens the grasp, letting your old partner falling to the ground
• he takes you home immediately, too pissed off to talk about what he did
• he’s a bit scared you’ll scold him but there was no choice, believe him, he felt he had to
• he spend the rest of the night cuddling and reassuring you

Aquarius sun, Taurus moon and with led zep, please ;p (thank u for all ur hard work, ur blog is awesome!)
usually people with an aquarius sun and taurus moon have good control of emotions and are intelligent! artistic and creative, and definitely know their strong points. patient and collected, avoid drama or conflict at all costs, and just goes with the flow in life. super cool people to have around in my opinion! they have a hard time functioning with a purpose so they always try to set goals often. but sometimes they lack motivation and stay in their comfort zone. that would be the taurus moon’s fault haha. also the taurus moon’s fault is the how stubborn they can be at times. usually they're very rational, flexible with other’s personalities, and care more about personal satisfaction than gaining it from others. private people who are easy to get along with. in friendships they alube someone who is smart, warm, about to talk about big visions and goals, and who has a laid back personality like themselves.
when it comes to led zeppelin i think you’d get along really well with john bonham! he’s a gemini sun and a pisces moon. your sun signs get along great and so do your moons :) his sun sign makes him a relatively fun person to hang out with. which you appreciate. but his moon side also brings out sensitivity and insecurity, and also makes me impractical at times. you'd kind of be a rock for me bc you're reliable and sympathetic. a fun fact is that someone with a taurus moon and someone with a pisces moon share a deep love and appreciation for music. he’d like an overall best friend quality friend.
i think robert would also be up there for best friend quality. he has a leo sun and a pisces moon. though your sun signs don't get along the best which is way he’s lower than bonzo. however your moon signs compliment each other. i think you’d have a good emotional bond. and i think you'd be the type of friends you trust for advice, a good hug, or any kind of personal issue. but his leo sun can make for arrogance and self centered attitude which could annoy you bc any type of social status doesn't really matter to you. leos can be that way sometimes lol. but he has a good work ethic like you do, is friendly, and just wants to be accepted by people. I think you’d be a good comfort blanket for him.
jimmy has a capricorn sun and a cancer moon. I think both of you would share a sense of wanting to feel secure in a friendship/relationship, very domestic when given the chance, and have a deep attachment to family. you both sort of like familiar things and don't like change all that much. I think you’d give him a source of reassurance, and your practical attitude would help him stop overthinking so much about things. you both have that emotional and intellectual draw to you. and are both highly efficient. I just think you’d be a good match. I think you’d help him with his emotions and need to feel wanted by everyone, and I think he’d bring you that sense of home and security that you like. I think you’d share a deep bond with each other. I know that might be a slightly unpopular opinion bc capricorn’s and aquarius sun’s usually don't get along the best, but I have faith bc of how good your moon signs are. so I'm sticking with my answer lol.
john paul jones has a capricorn sun and a capricorn moon. I think the dynamic between you two would be kind of a generic version of a friendship. he’s not a very talkative person but is very polite and makes friends easily. not really one for partying or anything like that. more of a “let’s sit down and learn how to do this..” for fun kind of person. but you both like to get stuff done and be productive, so I think it could be an okay friendship. kind of like a learning friendship where you just learn about new things together. if that makes any sense. the only issue is how closed off he would be. you’d never really know how he felt about you bc he just wouldn't ever feel the need to tell you/would be too embarrassed to. if you ever tried to show any kind of feelings or comfort around him he’d probably shut it down immediately. either way I think his lack of enthusiasm in the friendship would kind of make you feel like he doesn't like you. he would like you but just doesn't really know how to express it.
I love your blog! and I love your art work too! I saw your posts from the drowning in you fic and theyre so cool and pretty! thank you for following me
#marauderofworlds#asks#classic rock astrology game#friend asks#I love people with a taurus moon#they so homey feeling to be around
