#ro explains it all

[anonymous-dentist]

in an ask you mentioned that cellbit is avoiding asking/making comments about how roier is probably a werewolf due to what happened with forever and GOD thats kind of really sad. motherfucker has werewolf related breakup trauma KKKKKKK

I thought it was funny at first but now I’m like. Oh god I’ve made Forever the bad guy. Which he lowkey was tbh, like? Breaking up with a dude on your anniversary? Harsh. But also I feel bad for them both

#asks! #anon! #monster au fic #can’t wait for cell to awkwardly explain this to Ro #and for Ro to be like ‘ay man I can just go beat him up for you if you want’ #and that’s nice and hot and all but like nah

You want more character asks?? WELL IF YOU INSIST

Considering where the story is going to go: how much do the ROs believe in the supernatural?

they all do! the story itself is explicitly a fantasy, so the supernatural exists alongside the real world. things like fantastical creatures and demonic forces are a reality (the great calamity literally received its name because the dead rose from their graves HAHAHA)

#anon #ro: jinwol #ro: yul #ro: ??? #ro: iseul #i feel like it's difficult to explain concisely #jasfjsjd but it's part of the polythesitic worship #each “unexplainable” phenomena has power behind it #yin and yang are a fundamental aspect of the world #and exist in tangible form #which gives rise to all manners of supernatural #less of a belief and more of a reality? #afhssdjj if that makes sense

Hello my dear magical friends ✨

I have returned to you with another poll! I’ve seen this one on a few other blogs and it made me curious for your answers - I feel it’s an interesting question especially considering the plot of the story haha. So without further ado:

Does Mephiles ever meet Ros? If not, how would a hypothetical meeting go?

i haven't actually decided yet if semi-modern will ever meet the second chance crew, but i like to think mephiles would get a real kick out of it. "they look like us!" and all that. (semi-modern is, as always, mildly embarrassed by their goofy antics.)

i think i've alluded to a potential meeting in the past, but honestly i think it's funnier if the two pairs somehow keep barely missing each other lmao

technically a meeting should be impossible unless semi-modern ends up in a not-mobian world, but that can be accomplished by mephiles taking them somewhere randomly just for fun. so it's less impossible, and more just highly improbable (not that i couldn't just make it happen for the sake of plot).

in terms of how they'd all interact, i can assure you the dynamic between the two shadows would be much more nuanced than between mephiles/this ex-memphis-parody. ros is uncomfortable, always, all the time, but especially more so when it comes to this sort of thing, and has trouble hiding it at that point. at best he'd just be ultra confused in a sort of comedic way. at worst he'd end up feeling Not Great about a few things and just want to go home, and this is the more likely.

the shadows on the other hand would have a slightly difficult time relating to each other at first. they'd pity the other for roughly the same reason. "second chance shadow is too soft, he must have had it rough", vs "semi-modern doesn't get to be soft? how sad for him". both of them would be wrong.

in the past i toyed with the idea of semi-modern being a sort of mentor to second chance, but in all honesty, by the time this could feasibly happen, second chance shadow would be leagues ahead of him.

#sea answers #second chance au #semi-modern au #art by sea #ros's everything is difficult to explain all in one go #you'd need to be caught up on about 11 years worth of Sea OC Species Lore before you're at a point where i can be like 'it's like this' #without it sounding absolutely batshit insane

The way I’ve only gone through four stages of grief in the last twenty hours because I’m stuck on bargaining in that I have become 100% convinced that Ro Laren is still alive...

[girlwithfish]

also he asked a kinda personal question and i was talking abt it but felt very embarrassed and it also took me a long time to articulate when I cld have said it more succinctly w less pauses and such...felt kind of embarrassed after bc im like why am I not normal abt anything. but idk a little vulnerability is good I suppose. 😕

#he asked if i feel any connection to my chinese heritage #and then i gave some complicated nonsensical answer abt feeling disconnected and alienated etc #Which was weird to talk abt out loud bc i realize i never really have talked abt it out loud much to anyone #or maybe ever #so its weird to say out loud #like theres always gonna be some gap or emptiness etc #And i didnt rly articulate it that well but i was thinjing abt it now but i also dont like feeling #like a spectacle ? i guess #Even if ppl dont intend to make u feel that way but i really dislike ppl/strangers or ppl who i dont know well butting in to my personal #life #or like being asked why i dont look like my parents as a kid or ppl inquiring abt my adoption #even tho ik its 'innocent' curiosity it def makes me feel like a spectacle of some sort #and tied w feeling alienated and even mkre like a spectacle esp when i worked in retail and wld encounter a lot of ppl and would get #asked alll the time where am i from its very annoying and i #think i dont like the unwanted attention and also again ppl idk getting into my business LOL #And then theres also the shame that comes w being around or encountering other chinese ppl or older chinese ppl and #having ro explain i dont speak the language or i dont have chinese parents #its like i would rather not have to talk abt a personal aspect of my life to strangers at all tbh. idk if thats odd #and esp when my personal experiences as an adopter kinda get talked over by my parents or other ppl idk #idkkk #i dont think he rly knew what to say hah and he said it seemed like a sensitive subjwct bc i spent like ten minutes(jk) tryig to articulate #But like ofc i like being chinese but ik im not chinese in the same way as others may be #Even tho i am. but yk what i mean #but he was rubbing my leg affectionately while i talked and listened even tho i was taking like 8 minutes to answer a simple question #Idk

🚗 and I'm curious on how MC's jaw and teeth look like because I can't really imagine in, what would you use as an example of how their jaws and teeth look like? Your work intrigues me.

GOOD QUESTION I WAS HOPING SOMEONE WOULD ASK ME!! mc just straight up grew a mouthful of fangs after losing their baby teeth. kind of like a shark if you need the visual!! i can imagine some mcs having a snaggletooth lol. for their jaw, the closest i can get to a visual is from the taking of deborah logan? if you just google "taking of deborah logan eating" a vid should come up if you wanna see!!

if i could draw i'd draw this out for you but i'd like to commission it one day!!

answers to your other question about drivers licenses under the cut. sorry for rambling!

Felix: CANNOT drive and you do not want him to. Rides her bike or skateboards to work every night. Probably failed his driver's test multiple times and then just gave up.

Eden: Eden can drive! They're a fairly safe driver, too.

Sable: They can drive, but they prefer walking. They live fairly close to the morgue they work at, and enjoy the fresh air they get from it.

Eris: Can drive! Occasionally drives to "work" (aka killing people) if they need a getaway but parks a safe distance away. Very good at sneaking around though, so it's not always necessary.

???: Do they have a license? Who knows! But they sure do drive! Crazily at that.

I really do deserve a fucking apology for all the times my friends and family valued strangers on the internet and their opinions more than me

How am I supposed to be just fine with being ignored for years and years or bullied for openly liking what I like, only for those same fucking people to then turn around YEARS LATER, AFTER THE DAMAGE WAS ALREADY DONE, and be like "actually this is cool, so glad I found it" while still ignoring me. Why am I not allowed to be fucking pissed about it? Why is it considered ""gatekeepy"" when I get upset someone who deliberately ignored me for years and insulted the shit I enjoy when I asked them to get into it cuz I thought they'd like it suddenly finds interest in it because it got popular online, not because I'd been begging them to give it a chance and to listen to me for years???? Why is that not allowed????? THAT'S SUCH AN ASSHOLE MOVE, WHY IS IT 'NOT OKAY' TO BE MAD? WHY DON'T THEY GROW A SPINE AND APOLOGIZE FOR DISMISSING ME FIRST? HOW ABOUT THAT?????

#I fucking hate this it keeps fucking happening #I have a fucking LIST of all the times it's happened this is not a one time thing it's fucking reoccurring #Nothing I say will ever fucking matter to anyone not even the people who are 'supposed' to care about me #Grumble grumble #Literally showed my dad a song and he was like 'well I preferred the one that came on autoplay after' #And I was like 'oh that song? Oh you mean THAT song? OH YOU MEAN THE SONG I SHOWED YOU MONTHS AGO THAT YOU DISMISSED AND CRITICIZED?' #THAT ONE? YEAH? YEAH??? #Gee I wonder why you like it NOW and not when *I* showed it to you! #UGHHHHH #Begged my friend to get into OP and he would go 'no it's too long and the art style is kinda ugly' #GUESS WHO'S NOW ASKING ME TO GUIDE HIM THRU THE ANIME CUZ OP WAS TRENDING ON TWITTER OVER THE SUMMER #UGHHHHHHHHH #Begged friends to watch Trig/un for years it was always the first anime I'd recommend anyone when they asked and was always ignored #Guess what everyone did once stampede started *trending on Tumblr*? #They certainly didn't care when I asked or when I was hyping up the trailer for stampede or literally any point before then #Nobody would ever reply to me when I talked about it #But now that it's trending on Tumblr NOW they're interested. GJSGDHDJDJDK #Happened with Pe/rso/na and Ro/tm/nt too. #Begged my middle and high school friends to get into the per/sona series. Nooo never it's sooo lame #Get made fun of for being hyped for 5's release in Calc class #Man you'd never believe who I see on Twitter as the biggest fans nowadays!! #Same with ro/tm/nt begged my friends to watch it but was dismissed and the episode I showed them heavily criticized bc it wasn't 2012 #Then learn the same friend who criticized it so heavily bc he *hated it* WAS WATCHING VIDEO ESSAYS EXPLAINING WHY THE FINALE WAS SO GOOD #And there's NEVER any acknowledgement like 'hey sorry I made fun of/hated on this thing I see why you like it now' #Am I actually mental?! Would that not be the polite thing to do??? #I would do that if a friend begged me to watch something and I openly dismissed them or criticized it as my reason why #And then later on I saw something online and was like 'actually...' #I would GO TO THAT FRIEND AND BE LIKE 'hey sorry I dismissed you earlier man I get why you like it now' AND THEN WE COULD TALK ABOUT IT #This isn't even about like distant acquaintences some of these people are my best friends and my roommates and my own fucking parents #People I talk to daily or near-daily. You're just not going to acknowledge what happened before??? Just expecting me to be fine with it????

i am once again giggling over MOFFAT of all people understanding (or at least getting extremely lucky in how it comes off) doctor gender better then the two ‘progressive’ writers. incredible stuff

#deadass i think its bc he didnt give a #fuck about making lefties happy he just wanted to say whatever. vs chibs agonized fear over getting things wrong paralyzing him into the #most boring writing on the planet AND forcing him to include the absolute shallowest ‘representation’ on the planet bc he knows he Should #have it but doesnt know how ro actually do that #versus rtd who seems to genuinly really really care about this kind of stuff BUT gets all his info via like. instagram posts and his #experiences with trans ppl begin and end with a drag show he went to once in the 90s where a queen drunkenly explained her theories on #gender to him. so like his hearts in the right place but he is sososo wrong. #anyway. does not bode well for ncuti i must say…. ive been worried abt rtd’s treatment of black characters and while this did not confirm #those fears of it continuing to be as awful as it was back in the day it also doesn’t exactly assuage them. we will see! i will stay #optimistic until i die probably so. fingers crossed ig lol #mi

Bulgarian brass music is very underrated compared to Serbian and Romanian brass, I found some hidden gems. But the Bulgarian trumpet music is mostly played in the northwest part of the country and Bulgarians there are really into Serbian stuff. At the same time we have few known trumpeters, most popular being Гъмзата/Gamzata (the " Ъ" is the "uh" sound). He also played with Marko on a TV show in 2017

#And it's like I can immediately recognize when it's BG/SRB/RO brass #I can't explain it #There's this specific trumpet sound #And tuba/horns sounds. I think they did those constant noises in the back of the music I really like it. Idk what they're called sorry #Bulgaria Romania Serbia Moldova all have their own specific sound and similarities #Music ramble

Confessing to my new friends that I am dyslexic (a lie) after being outed as disabled by a teacher (i am in no way dyslexic)

i hate how sensitive i am because changes in peoples tone of voice suddenly messes with me unless im 100%sure they are joking or it's not directed towards me. and i like the slightest thing where someone might point something out about me and unless it's super positive internally im like okay! i will go cry and explode myself :') and i feel worse because my brain just starts negative thoughts and guilt and guilt for feeling this way even though logically, there might not have been something wrong im just taking what they said and idk :/

#something small in a convo with my bf where he didnt say anything wrong or hurtful but me being me #my brain has to overreact and this was over the phone so im like yeah haha im fine! cus my bf was like you got quiet all of a sudden u okay? #and im like oh yeah for sure! <- lying. silently tearing up. feels worse cus my bf coild tell i wasnt totally fine but #idk how ro explain and he didnt do or say anything wrong. its just me! #but im worried i made him sad for not explaining and idk :/ he went to sleep #hoping ill feel better after jerma video and sleep too :(
