While reading and then listening to it, I had the biggest smile in the world <3
https://x.com/safeforlando/status/1747337071490961763?s=20
It's as small as helping someone pronounce a difficult word, but it makes me happy <3
thank you SO much for these anon <3<3
I absolutely adore how much Zak, Andrea, Lando, Oscar - literally anyone involved with McLaren has made it abundantly clear what a wonderful thing they have and that they're not remotely interested in changing it up ;__; it's why I didn't feel I was overestimating when I did the reply trying to even /think/ where the hell Lando or Oscar would want to go after 2025 and 2026 respectively bc not only would everywhere else be a downgrade or a massive compromise, these two have already experienced what it's like to compete against each other when the car is shit but also when they're both at the front of the grid. theirs has been the only dramatically positive story for 2023 and it's been an excellent test of their partnership.
nobodysecretly on tiktok
I'm gonna do a whole thing about that part where Oscar Comepetency Piastri jumps in to help Lando Show Your Love for Me With Patience Norris pronounce the word chrysanthemum. bc this is like an entire series of Artist/Feelings Lando needing Engineer/Logical Oscar to fill in the blanks and give him instruction. it's like how McLaren handed over the explainer videos to Oscar pretty early on and they stick to Lando doing the hype videos.
but oh my god the sweetness of Lando filming his own video and looking over to Oscar all the time bc of course Oscar is just happy to sit and watch Lando rather than check his phone or wander off !! Lando is his favorite tv show ! and also I kind of love that this puts Oscar in with the team who regularly follow Lando around to do filming or help him follow his schedule and generally support him. there was that quote from the Prema team about how Oscar was absolutely fine during the pandemic bc he was so used to living alone/looking after himself largely alone until Mark came in to offer advice. so like combine that with Oscar's famous patience and calmness and Lando's life pulling him in ten different directions and his brain having these gaps of knowledge bc he's been so deeply into just racing from a young age and god it's so perfect.
side note that "full pink helmet" comment and Lando about to die laughing

can you do more Mario scenes? I really enjoyed your first post xD
Yes of course! I'm so glad you did, and I'd be more than happy to do some more posts about Mario game scenes!
Now, originally I had thought to keep it to more obscure games, or at least games that aren't talked about as much, like Super Mario 3d world. But I'm very stressed and exhausted at the moment, and I'm indulging with one of my favourite Mario games, so perhaps....
Overly Analyzing Luigi's Mansion 3; Mario Rescue cutscene
All screenshots taken from this video (hence the watermark, sorry, I cant record it myself)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, in order to rescue Mario, the player has to defeat the hotel owner, Hellen Gravely in her office. Each boss ghost has their own unique animation before being sucked into the Poltergust G-00, and hers is to demand Luigi pause long enough for her to apply her make up. Queen moment, if I'm to be honest.
Tumblr media
Luigi also has a celebration animation after he defeats ghosts and bosses, and here he tosses his hat off in celebration. It's such a cute moment; he's been constantly terrified in this haunted hotel, but he's so proud of himself for conquering this particularly scary obstacle!
Now, the main reason I'm looking at this scene today. Luigi uses the Dark-Light feature of the Poltergust to rescue Mario from the portrait he was trapped in. Said portrait was hanging up in Hellen's office, and she used it to taunt Luigi to come fight her to save his brother, I should add.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mario falls from the painting and is seemingly dazed and confused at first. Unlike in the first game, the portraits here are frozen, unmoving images, so it takes Mario a moment of checking out his body and arms to realize he's free.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The second he looks up at Luigi, though, he instantly lights up. I recommend you check out the scene for yourself, because the way he bounces up and stretches his arms out as he goes "OH YEAH!" is so cute and expressive. They really outdid themselves with the cutscenes in this game.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mario runs over to Luigi, exclaiming "Way to go, Luigi!" and his joyful energy is immediately returned by Luigi. Luigi spreads his arm, happily exclaiming "Mario!" while Mario jumps into his arms and just. Look at them.
Tumblr media
Look at them.
(I had to find a gif of this specific moment because screenshots would not do it justice)
I can't even begin to describe how happy this makes me. Mario jumping right into Luigi's arms like it's so natural and common for them to do, Luigi's leg lifting up as he catches Mario, Luigi holding Mario up for a split second, Luigi's loud "MARIO, hey bro!" it's so tender and wholesome. This is the kinda sibling energy I wanna see with them!
There's so much display and affection and trust on display here in just a few seconds of animation. And there's just something about Luigi being the one to do the hug lifting that's just, so cute. Chefs kiss, no notes, perfect scene.
Tumblr media
Luigi sets Mario back down on his feet, and I love that this shot allows us to see Mario's perspective. While this is overall a very joyful and upbeat scene, I think it's nice to also show Mario getting some much needed comfort after his third time being rescued from a portrait in the Luigi's Mansion series, poor guy.
Very briefly, before they step back, Luigi is also shown patting Mario's back with his hand. Again, even though Luigi has navigated this hotel scared out of his mind, the fact that he's shown to be consciously giving his brother some show of comfort is adorable.
Tumblr media
Luigi steps back and they both laugh, Mario placing his hand on Luigi's shoulder. They're both equally happy to be reunited! Smaller note, but Luigi appears to be ever so slightly bending his knees, probably to be closer to Mario. Yes the height difference between them really isn't that noticeable, but I'll take what I can get, okay?
For a second, the scene lingers as they simply stare at each other in relief. Then Luigi seems to snap back to it, having a small "wait a minute-" moment as he looks at the camera.
Tumblr media
Immediately, Mario's smile drops too, and his hand drops off Luigi's shoulder as he straightens up. You can tell Luigi kinda forget where they were for a moment, probably because of how relieved he was to see Mario again, and now he's remembering that oh yeah, they're kinda stuck in a haunted hotel with a giant Boo that specifically has it out for them.
Tumblr media
Luigi grabs Mario by the shoulder and exclaims, "Come on! This way!" clearly referring to Professor E Gadd's lab.
A bit of context for those who haven't played the game; before rescuing Mario, the player rescues the three Toads who also accompanied them on the vacation trip to the hotel, and every time Luigi escorts them to the elevator so they can stay in E Gadd's lab, safe and sound from the ghosts. So we can infer Luigi's immediate thought was to also get Mario there, so he wouldn't be in danger anymore :'3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He keeps his arm on Mario's shoulder, and grabs his other hand to literally start leading him in the direction of the elevator. Which is just.... so precious. Literally "I just got you back and you are not leaving my side until I know you're safe" energy. They care so much about each other guys. I love protective big bro Mario with all my heart, but protective Luigi fretting and worrying over Mario's wellbeing is so special too.
However, unlike the Toads who were more than happy to stay in the safer lab, Mario has other plans.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
While wiggling out of Luigi's gripe, Mario corrects him with "Ah ah, ah ah, this way!" and pulls him back into the office. Luigi's confused, and his hand reflexively almost reaches for the Poltergust since they're heading back in the direct of danger (or it could just be his arm swinging back from Mario's pull, but again, over analyzing.)
Tumblr media
The camera pans over to reveal the wall with the portrait Mario was trapped in on it.
Tumblr media
Mario turns back to Luigi, clearly gung-ho and ready to go. We don't see much of Luigi's face, but I like to think he had an "oh no, not this again-" expression, because he knows exactly what Mario is about to do.
Tumblr media
Mario gestures over his shoulder with a "Come on!" and takes off, leaving Luigi to startle and raise his hand. Here we get their classic dynamic; Mario, head strong and determined, running recklessly right into the action, and Luigi, timid and cautious, taking a moment to really sit and think about the situation.
Tumblr media
Mario throws himself at the sliding wall and pushes it aside, demonstrating some serious physical strength. That's a pretty thick wall, with a portrait and tv screen on it to boot, but he manages to throw it open fairly easy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Once past that, we see Mario stumble a bit from the momentum of pushing the wall. He immediately sets himself upright, gesturing again for Luigi to "Come on!" without much of a pause. Again, so much character on display here; Mario is flinging himself right into the action, and while he isn't particularly clumsy, he's practically stumbling from how fast he's pushing himself.
You can read this as that's simply in Mario's heroic nature - to run right into danger without so much as a second thought - but you can also read it as him being ecstatic to be out of that portrait. Even though he knows at this point that King Boo is waiting for them and Princess Peach still needs saving, he's still smiling and urging Luigi to follow him, like they're on an adventure. This is much more his speed, as opposed to being the one needing a rescue.
Tumblr media
So Mario opens the door, not bothering to actually wait for Luigi, and continues on ahead. I read it as a bit of his impulsiveness with charging ahead, and also as trust that Luigi will follow him anywhere - albeit at his own pace.
Tumblr media
For a split second, Luigi hesitates with a confuse "Mario?". Even though he knows his brother, he probably wasn't expecting Mario to bounce back so quickly. But hey, if his brother is still willing to forge on ahead even though he just escaped a trapped portrait, Luigi can't hold himself back either, can he?
Tumblr media
He grabs his flashlight and exclaims a energized "Okay!". Again, keep in mind that this whole game, Luigi has been terrified out of his wits and scared of every obstacle in his way. But now having his brother back has him grinning and ready to face the challenges up ahead. The way they inspire courage in each other can actually be so personal-
Even though Luigi's Mansion 3 came out first, and the two don't really have a lot of connections outside of being based on the same property, I can't help but connect the new movie's "Nothing can hurt us, as long as we're together!" theme to this scene here.
Such a good scene, great animation and personality on display. Literally my only complaint is that I want more of well thought out cutscenes in Super Mario games in general.
Oh, and more bro hugs. Definitely more bro hugs.

i take care of a small group of strays that live in my little culdesac and unfortunately one of the kittens gave birth to a small litter (no vet around here would spay her due to her age and feralness but she's ok and doing well) and everything is fine now but it's been like a week and i haven't seen her babies at all.
why am i putting this on my loveless blog? because every time i think about it all my brain brings me are those loveless panels where seimei is straight up lying to ritsuka about the litter of kittens under their house. my intrusive thoughts about the safety of this litter take the form of this weirdo and that stupid "did you know that mother cats eat their kittens sometimes under stress" panel. it haunts me. i don't have a devil on my shoulder, i have seimei telling me horrible lies about cats

hi!! i know u talk a lot about aromanticism a lot on here, but i don’t think i’ve ever seen u talk about aromantic anthy. would u mind discussing/elaborating on it or linking to a post where u do because i’m very curious!!
i got a similar ask half a year ago or something ridiculous like that on my main blog, but i’d like to really do justice to my url right now and explain it in more concrete terms.
i will say, it’s important to bear in mind that this reading of anthy’s character is very much informed by my own experiences, and a lot of those experiences are ones im not keen to talk in depth about. but you know. let’s make some nebulous gestures towards ideas of being traumatised, being autistic, struggling to meaningfully connect with others and honestly not really wanting to do such because of how they treat you.
like ive previously said, an aromantic perspective on the world would, i think, really benefit anthy. when youve lived your whole life experiencing violence at the hands of these patriarchal structures, of which romance is absolutely one, it’s kinda like. damn. im uncomfortable buying into those ideas.
anthy also has this lovely line in ep 19 where she says to utena ‘romance either happens or it doesn’t’ and it’s just sooooooo. so very interesting to me, actually, that anthy would say something so black and white about ‘romance’, a topic that anthy knows better than a lot of rgu characters is hopelessly confused and arbitrary and often enabling violence. and utena (fellow aromantic gaybo) says 'yeah, i know, but...'. these simplifications, these elisions. what is and isn't articulated. but what? maybe things are much more complicated than we'd like to think.
anyway enough of that tangent. one thing i as a trans and aromantic person always return to when discussing trans and aromantic readings of characters/texts more broadly is that there's no singular piece of evidence that can really cement these readings as Undeniable. it's like. okay. there's a critique of romance as a patriarchal structure in revolutionary girl utena. there's an ambiguity about anthy's feelings towards characters like utena, where there is clearly a queer connection but it takes shape in unconventional and complex ways. me, i'm aromantic, i see all of these pieces and i go oh well that's because she's an aromantic lesbian. you know, there's plenty of little moments i can evidence but those moments can be used to argue for an alloromantic lesbian anthy too. romance is a very arbitrary thing and i think everyone should take their own approach to it unapologetically. of course, mine is that it's hellish and i want nothing to do with it, but im just one guy. and im okay with that. i feel strongly about this reading and it is personal, and id be dishonest to say otherwise, but i do also find that it's well-evidenced in the text. as one of my lecturers once said, don't worry about authorial intent, it isn't real <3
#and authorial intent is NOT real i really cant emphasise that one enough#like it's fun to engage with the stuff a writer/director/whoever thinks about their art#and it can be very useful#but it's not definitive. that's not the last word on the topic#like did be papas consciously write any rgu character as aromantic? idk probably not#but i find such powerful aromantic narratives and themes coming through in this show#in how it chooses to examine relationships and power dynamics and the pervasive nature of romance as a concept#how it is so easily unequal how it is DESIGNED to be unequal how it offers chivalry and safety to mitigate harm#which it directly enables. makes easier#and that doesnt mean that aromanticism is the only solution bc you know. some ppl do feel romantic attraction#but it's like ok let's rethink 'romance'. let's combat amatonormativity let's challenge the relationship hierarchy that privileges#families and romantic partners in such a dangerous dangerous way#and i see all of that in this show and it resonates so deeply with my experiences many of which pertain to aromanticism#and you know. this show made me accept that im aromantic. so i think that speaks to how strongly these themes come through#but i digress. i find it hard to talk about this stuff bc its deeply personal and quite arbitrary#and also every time i do someone sends me anon hate about how i hate gay people. which is so cool btw please keep doing that#i didnt realise that loving being gay and loving gay people and loving when gay people love each other made me homophobic /s#just to clarify for the second time that is all sarcasm im gay and aromantic and i dont have time for arophobia here#anywayyyyy#im aware of all the asks ppl have sent me. im working on it i prommy <3#dais.txt#dais talks aspec

Hello there I saw a tag saying you love shinji so as a fellow shinji simp I must ask
Would it be ok to request a shinji x reader?(Gender neutral so everyone can enjoy)
Where the reader is an acquaintance of sorts of shinji who isn’t aware of the dark hour but has medical knowledge and stumbles upon them the moment the hour ends and is able to help until the more professional help arrives
(To be more clear about the medical knowledge she can be the resident nurse that hangs around the outskirts)
Sorry if this too long of a request :(
I understand if you reject it
, thats all
Please have a good rest of your day!
Hello there! (っ・∀・)っOf course that's okay!!! Thank you for your request! I am a bit worried about how this turned out, but I enjoyed writing it.
hello nurse (shinjiro x gn nurse student reader)
Port-Island Station, 1:00 AM.
The Dark Hour had just finished up- Of course you weren’t aware of that fact, as you were just an average person…
To your knowledge, you had spent the last hour, give or take a few minutes, working on your cigarette after a long day of studying for your exams. Quite an ironic habit for someone training to be a nurse… But you needed something to take the edge off, and you’d fallen in with a bit of a bad crowd recently. The outskirts of Port-Island station had become a regular hang out spot for you, not that you were proud of it or anything…
Suddenly you were pulled out of your thoughts by the sound of several panicked footsteps, quickly shuffling past where you leaned up against the wall of a building. Several voices could be heard, it was clear they were trying to be quiet but their voices laced with anxiety couldn’t be kept down… You heard mutters of “Hang in there,” and “You’re gonna be alright, Shinjiro.”
Shinjiro…? As in THAT Shinjiro…?
Your eyebrows furrowed with worry, and you tapped your cigarette between your fingers, flicking off the ashes before dropping it onto the concrete, stomping it out completely… You felt bad for littering as you usually disposed of your butts properly, but this seemed like a proper time to rush yourself. You jogged out from around the corner, catching sight of the group responsible for the noise… It was a chaotic scene. Several of the people in the group looked injured, and the ones who weren’t hurt were helping the others to keep walking. Your hand flew to your mouth as you spotted Shinjiro, he looked the worst out of them all. Without thinking about what you would say, your feet ran forward on their own. The group looked behind them, bewildered as a set quick footsteps approached their backs. They turned to face you as best as they could. Shinjiro looked especially shocked to see you, a look of recognition on his dazed face.
“You…” He grunted, just barely.
“What happened to you kids…!?” You asked, trying to catch your breath. You sounded like an authoritative figure, but in truth you had just a couple years on their oldest team member, Shinjiro.
They looked awkward at your question, visibly at a loss for how to explain themselves. You shook your head at this, your face sick with unease as you looked upon them.
“Nevermind that, it’s not important now! Please help the injured to the ground, I will treat their wounds however I can while someone unharmed calls an ambulance…!”
The group looked anxious, but they still followed your directions. Shinjiro was helped down first to his dismay, next came a girl with a pink sweater, and finally a boy with a baseball cap. The apathetic looking boy with blue hair whipped out his cellphone, shakily dialing in the emergency hotline number. You immediately kneeled before the ones on the ground, and the other two aside from Shinji urged you to handle him first. He clicked his tongue at them, sighing and holding himself, looking agitated while squirming in pain.
“Hold still,” you said sternly, and your hands moved to undo the buttons of his jacket, trying to get a better look at what kind of injuries he had. “Show me where you’re hurt.”
He hesitantly shows you his thigh, which had a sizable gash in it, the blood still gushing out. You gulped, looking at it in dismay. You considered your options, and then began to tear at the fabric of your shirt, ripping off the bottom section of it to create a make-shift bandage. Shinjiro chokes on his spit at this display, despite the emergency situation such an act still seemed to fluster him a little. You sighed in incredulity, and quickly moved to wrap up his injury, tying the cloth around his leg tightly. He sat himself in a position which elevated his leg, his eyes shifting around the area, avoiding looking at your figure.
“You need to relax, Aragaki-Kun… No need to get shy under these circumstances.”
“Keh… Who’s shy?” He manages to grunt out, breathing labored. The additional two injured people look at you in dismay, along with the other members who were kneeled down nearby, observing the situation while being unsure of what to do. They looked between you and Shinji, sparing a moment trying to figure you two out. You noticed their attention, and tore your eyes away from him while clearing your throat.
You then checked on the conditions of Junpei and Yukari… They were better off than Shinjiro, but still pretty badly beaten up. You left the clique for a short while to buy a couple of cold drinks from a vending machine, bringing them over and directing the teens to hold the chilled cans to their harsh bruises. This was all you could do for them right now without any first-aid kit available to you. You sank down to their levels again on your knees, a quiet whine rumbling in your throat as you impatiently waited with them for more help to arrive.
Everyone still gathered around Shinjiro, who was still struggling with the pain, but the bleeding was subsiding. He did his best to keep his cool so that the time would pass quickly. He was also ashamed to be the most injured despite being the oldest… You could sense that from him clearly.
“Uh..Thanks for the help, are you some kinda doctor or somethin’?” The boy in the cap spoke up after a while, as the situation began to relax a little.
“Something like that. I’m studying to be a nurse.”
“Ahh…” A short silence, the gears in his head visibly turning. A wide and crooked smirk breaks out on his face. “Well, hellooooooo nurse…!” He says, clearly waiting for a reaction.
Nobody is laughing, and you feel guilty so you give him an awkward giggle. Unexpectedly, Shinjiro glares at him, and Junpei audibly gulps.
“Ugh… Now's not the time for your dumb jokes, Stupei…My head is freaking killing me,” the pink-clad girl grumbles, also glaring daggers at the poor guy. “Sorry about him… He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.”
The group begins to softly and familiarly laugh a little at Junpei’s expense, and he gives them all that “kicked puppy” look… Their dynamic reads like clockwork to you, and you feel a little out of place as they all slowly take turns introducing themselves to you, aside from Shinjiro. Such an odd gathering of people… You didn’t notice until after they introduced them, but there’s an elementary school child and a dog amongst them too… You never imagined Aragaki to have such a colorful group of friends.
When the spotlight falls on you, you give your name and a few of them lean in with intrigue. Akihiko is the first one to ask, eager to learn more about Shinji’s life in its current state.
“So, you seem to know Shinj. What’s your relationship to him?”
The girl with blue hair, Fuuka, nods, looking the second most intrigued out of everyone. “To be honest, I was wondering the same thing,” she says with a hint of girlish curiosity.
Shinjiro looks at them sharply underneath his messy hair, trying to hide his embarrassment at their prodding. “Cut it out,” he spat.
Everyone except Akihiko and Mitsuru reeled back at his response, all questions from them ceasing. Akihiko was about to goad him even further, but the sound of the emergency responders arriving interrupted him just in time. They started to load up into the vehicle, you and Akihiko helping Shinjiro back onto his feet.
There wasn’t enough space in the vehicle for you as well, so you waved goodbye to everyone, before addressing Shinjiro directly.
“Can I visit you at the hospital, Aragaki-Kun?” Junpei oohed at that comment, giving him a knowing look.
Shinjiro groaned, face red as the emergency vehicle doors shut closed. You smiled, making your way to your car to follow after them.
You learned a lot about your little friend tonight.

oh my god thats so sweet of you!!!! thank you :DD also super sorry for deleting your ask btw
To get down to business well uh iterators huh, so I can tell you have read some of my ramblings before (very fun) and I will say in general I stand by those ideas - model differences and stuff - with some smaller changes here and there, for instance I made pebbles antennas stupidly long cause I think it looks funny - plus tons of tiny refinements, but generally I dont have too much to add unless theres something specific your wondering about - so I wont focus to much on that. Instead I'm gonna chat a bit about the other stuff you mentioned (NSH and wire headwear) ^-^ so heres the guys! (I'm gonna expand a bit on their design designs)
Tumblr media
Ok so you have actully managed to point out something I really hoped no one would notice, which is that I never draw No Significant Harrasment (NSH) - who I hope you meant when you asked about sig, if not then dont look at me - and that is because I despise him with my whole heart. Or well, his design, the character is fine but I cannot draw this guy, I hate his colour scheme and his stupid little cape and why is his head symbols green on green - who allowed this - and in general we are not friends, which is a pity because I have alot of headcanons about him. But as you can see above I have semi settled on a design for him (note the semi, I am not super happy about it) and I do have some toughts and explanations.
So first of, I put NSH as being from the same model generation as suns - so predecessing moon and pebs by a bit - with older designs that have a larger focus on "religious stuff" combined with the anchients overall bonkers fashion sense - more is more - if you wanna read more about that its in this post about suns.
- I would also, this is a side note btw, like to mention I think having them being older models gives room to have some key differences between the oldies (NSH and suns) and the youngsters-ish (moon and pebs) in that one, they have older machinery and also early machinery which means both rougher quality and more wear and tear - which I like to think give them both the idea of slugcats as messangers earlier than most, as they knew their easily damaged functions (broadcast masts for example) would not last forever, which gives them a reason to want to solve it (by breeding scugs I guess) and added onto that I - and this is pure headcanon and speculation - like to imagine a lot of the "taboos" that pebbles and moon have - or well that I speculate they have, the no killing yourself or harming citizens taboo is confirmed canon, but I dont think its farfetched to asume they have other restrictions programmed - something that would most likely be added in later modles, but would be absent in the earlier ones like suns and NSH (not the earliest models but early) which theoreticly would give them a bit more leeway and "creative freedom", which ok why am I talking about this back to why NSH looks like that. -
Back to that, so suns and NSH will share design similarities: lack of face (to represent a lack of ego), lots of robes and layers, which leads us into the slightly more relevant sidenote of iterator clotheing:
So fashion comes and goes in cycles, your mom rebeled against her grandmothers clothing choises and is horrified when that fashion comes back via her daughter who think it looks cool again (20 year old rule or whatever) and that also applies to iterator design (look at that old suns ask for more info on this). So while I have talked about general trends a little, now I wanna talk about waistlines - in robes, because I have wanted an exscuse to talk about it, I be brief promise!
: so like you probably havent noticed all my iterators have different waistlines, or at least the ones from different generations - ignore moon, I'm a no robe for moon beliver, I like to draw joints and wires to much to give her robes - and I will sadly report I have not looked to closely at actual anchient fashion for the choises I made, but well cant have everything. So the most notable is probably pebbles, where I, ok Imostly fell for temptation of a modern highwaist cut, which while moslty being about my own tatse, also is an atempt to convey some form of "modernity" because while its a bright orange robe on a robot, it has a similar cut to highwaisted jeans. Which gives the silhoute from a couple years ago with a big bulky upper body and stick legs. But pebbles isnt intresting in that way, no its because every other design is a resistence against that.
And this again leads into the cycles of fashion. Because we know iterators were built under many cycles - however long those are - so we can asume it will be kinda like how fashion has changed from the 11th centrury to now. Which gives to reason that iterators have been dressed differently too. This added with that - from what I understood - different iterator cities (colonies) had different cultures (boradcast, red, in sky islands) all this then makes me kinda figure that the iterators should have different robes. Yes that was a long winded way to say that characters look different.
So back to waistlines and how their all anti pebbles robes - the most notable difference is of course suns, who has no waistline. They are not only without to create a bigger difference between them and pebbles, but to also lean a bit on - and this might not be the same for every culture - but on the general idea that older clothes were more "modest" or in this case, there are more layers and any hints of there being a body under there is desperatly covered. and that "modern clothes" have less layers and have show more skin - not that pebble is showing skin, but hes wearing one robe instead of seven. So with that the idea that suns is older is conveyed a little bit at least, and the same then applies to NSH. NSH while also having lots of layers, is different from suns by having an empire waistline, mostly because I think their cute and need them to look different, but also to give a hint that they have different city fashion cultures and also because when I see empire waists i think old paintins and old paintings=old.
-also while I'm on the subject of cultural differences between iterator facilities. Can we talk about how we only really get to see anchient society as its presented in moon and pebbles (shared?) facility. So really its very possible the whole aestetic is complelty different like five local groups away. Food for thought. -
So faceless and robe-rich is a similarity between suns and NSH, and I could mention many more, but I'm gonna restrain myself and only talk about headphones. As you can tell I - and most fanartist here - like to draw their antennas differently for all of them! which is also canon, but I also ignored canon so were gonna talk about it. Mostly the antennas give room for some fun mini details, like how moons look like wings or fins while suns are just sunbeams.
Anyhow so most people make NSH bald, me included, mostly because the super cool official art of him gives him no antennas (sad). I asume that means he works via bluetooth.
(I was about to start speculating about their headphones but that got to boring even for me so sorry if your super intrested in why iterators probably have headphones)
But I had a ulterior motive with bringing up the headphones - and not only to be able to point out moons antenna, which I delight in drawing - but also so that I can transition into the second part of this way to long response! itertors hairdos... wire-dos? basicly this \/
Tumblr media
(im reusing my wip because these are a pain to draw so we use what we have - I coloured them in a bit for better oversight.)
(also I was gonna start talking about if iterators would actully do personalisations like this - as we can argue about if they concepulize themself as their puppets and see a meaning to decorating them - I would argue yes but also its complicated- and also explain how iterators have different prefernces, which I realised most people probably already asume so I didnt need to explain that - anyhow so that got to long so I'm not gonna get into it. Instead were gonna go into this section with the assumptions that they do fun things with their wires. and also that the wires connect to their nape and backhead instead of their back or spine.)
So to me th biggest thing to remember when we talk about potetial wire headwear is that:
- iterators live 24/7 without gravity and because of that cannot be bothered by to heavy headwear, therefore theres rooms for them and anchients (and me) to get funky with it without having to concider gravity.
-anchients wore absurdly many decorations - and while giving iterators flashy decorations does take away from my earlier statement that they were based on more humble monk stuff, we are going to asume they used the fancy headwear for cermonies and festivals (which we also know anchients did) and that it was used for showcasing and fun. If some iterators preffered to keep them afterwards is another query.
So with that in mind lets break these headwear thingies down!! :D
Tumblr media
so as you can (hopefully) tell there three components in the headwear. The headphones that are different depending on iterator and are not removable (or as unremovable a computer part can be). Then theres the actual headpieces that keeps the wires togheter. These can be switched out and changed depending on whats preffered - also I drew them in gold but any material works, if were being closer to canon they would probably be made of some purposed organism and maybe be neon pink - theres also pearls dangling from them because its a perfect opertunity. Third theres probably the part I think is the most fun which is the actual wires. They obviously go through the headpieces and then are set free via wiretassles (that also comes in different forms) and after that is where my own speculations about wires comes in. Which is really simple in that iterators can most probably move the wires at will - they can control their arm thing, pearls and other objects in their chambers, reasonably they can move the wires - and I think its fun if different iterators move them differently. Like suns keeps them straight and neat, or pebbles moves them in syncronized formations or moon who just lets them hang, so many oppertunities ok ( you can see the general idea in the drawing). The wires then connect to their movement arms and connect to the mainframe.
And thats kinda about it? I dont have like anything super intresting to say about just the hairdos other than that I think its very fun and also that everyone is sleeping on wire customizations I am obbsessed with the idea send help.
Ok I think I'm done chatting!! Hope your still here and that this wasnt insufferable to read. Uh, thanks for the ask :D

May I request Arlecchino romance headcanons? 🙏
For sure !! I've been really enjoying all the Arlecchino requests in my inbox recently, she as a character fascinates me!
Sorry this took me so long to get to, it's like. Every time I open it up and start typing, I get distracted by something else.
Content: Gender neutral reader (referred to as 'you'), romantic affection, nicknames, some behaviour from Arlecchino that could be considered a little seedy (including some passing mentions of jealousy/possessiveness) - a quick mention of alcohol in the last dot point.
Word count: I'd say somewhere over 900, done in a list format.

I'd say in most cases, she probably would have been the one to fixate on you and take steps to initiate the relationship to start off with - though I could definitely see it being the other way around, but she would've been very much out of her element. She's very much easily flustered when your attention is on her.
During the courting period, she would have cute young children bring you flowers from her whenever you happened to be in the area - at first it seems like some kind of plot or scheme, but in reality she's just too shy to approach you directly herself.
She has people watching out for you, always, even before you're together. Even if you're perfectly capable of looking after yourself, you'll find that there's often a Fatui member or two who just so happens to have grown up in House of the Hearth following in your footsteps or looking out for you.
Despite how affectionate she is, she does shockingly terribly when the favour is returned in any way - her cheeks get all red and she refuses to look at you, practically pouting, even if all you did was give her an innocent compliment or ask how her day has been.
I feel like a lot of the kids at the House of the Hearth remain loyal to her even after they've grown up - despite her cold exterior and attitude, they're all really fond of her and see her as this protective aunt figure, so of course once the rumour gets out that she's taken an interest in you (or vice versa), you find that whenever you're in the area, you're getting a lot of curious looks and whispers sent your way, or even some of the older ones just directly asking you questions - at least once there would've been a time when a younger child just directly asked when the wedding was going to be.
Arlecchino can barely function when you're around before you're together. She's a mess, blurting out compliments and just offering you things. You compliment her coat? Before you can blink, she's taken it off and is offering it to you, but in that annoyed, stubborn kind of way, as if she wasn't given a choice in the matter. "Just take it. You said you liked it."
She only just manages to keep her composure when the other Harbingers are around - she's entirely enamoured by you and it's far too obvious in the way that she's constantly looking over towards you and fidgeting about impatiently, or shuffling over so she gets to stand closer to you.
I'd imagine you two getting together officially just starts out with her accidentally blurting something out and admitting to her feelings, then immediately rushing out and avoiding you for as long as possible until you finally manage to corner her and demand answers, and you manage to work it all out from there.
Once you're officially together, Arlecchino can still be a little flighty around you, as if the slightest movement might scare you off. This borders on uncharted water for her - she's been in relationships before, but never with someone she actually cared for this much.
She's so needy and clingy at times, it's like she thinks if she lets you out of her sight you'll run away forever.
Once she's been given the go ahead for physical affection, she is all over you. Standing right up in your personal space, sitting so close to you that you're pressed up against one another. It's like she hardly even notices her arm wrapping around you, or her fingers linking with yours.
Once she's over that initial phase of doubt and worry, she gets better, though she can still be possessive and jealous at times.
There's nothing she loves more than being able to come to bed and get to hold you after a long day of working. She looks forward to it all day.
She vacillates between wanting to show you off to anyone and everyone and wanting to hide you away somewhere where you'll be safe.
She loves to provide for you - if it's within her power to grant for you, she'll do it in a heartbeat.
If anyone upsets you, she's ready to throw hands, no matter who it is. She'll square up with the Tsaritsa herself for looking at you wrong.
Arlecchino just adores you. She dotes on you to no end - the kids at the House of the Hearth find it adorable - the soldiers serving under her do too, but they're a little more subtle about it, especially considering Arlecchino is trying her very best to keep your relationship under wraps so news doesn't get around to the other Harbingers.
If someone gets her a drink or two and bring you up in conversation she's suddenly fanning herself as she blinks back tears because of just how much she loves you. It's adorable. For all the terrifying stories about her and her general reputation, she's really just a huge softie when it comes to you (though she definitely still has her stern, scary moments).
