#they're just her current interests

[bumblingbabooshka]

B'Elanna, Neelix, Tuvok and Chakotay needed to star in an episode where they just talked about their different beliefs and approaches to spirituality/religion. Paired off and all together. I need to gain more insight. I need characterization and I need it to be messy.

#B'Elanna's difficulty with Klingon myths and religion (especially due to her internalized racism) #Chakotay's current strong belief in his own spirituality despite his initial complete rejection of it (and how B'Elanna seems to admire #and have talked with Chakotay about it extensively in the past given how many specifics she's aware of) #Neelix's belief in an afterlife being the only thing that comforted him after his entire family was killed - the knowledge that he would be #able to reunite with them again and that knowledge being ripped away from him #Does he still believe? Are there other aspects of his previous spiritual beliefs that are thrown into question? #Just because it isn't 'real' does it make it unimportant? How do we even know whether or not it's 'real'? #He died and doesn't remember reaching that tree and seeing his family - does that mean it didn't happen? #Tuvok's line in 'Innocence' about how he's begun to have doubts about whether or not a katra exists and what happens after someone dies #and his firm ties to Vulcan spirituality and ritual #ALL SO INTERESTING!!!!!!!! #star trek voyager #I don't think it'd be a calm or healthy conversation either - they're not therapists and I don't think anyone but Chakotay #would be particularly careful with his words #and before you say Tuvok's a Vulcan so he would be let me remind you that Tuvok told B'Elanna to her face that he thought Klingons #were basically savages - he is INDELICATE to say the least #Neelix is careful with his words bc he's a people pleaser for survival but also he has a tendency to bother people and be overly pushy #and I think he'd do a lot of research and be the one leading the conversation/the reason they get on the topic and continue on it #B'Elanna wouldn't want to talk about it. She wants to talk about it the least. But she must!!!! Bc the episode demands it!! #st voy

I need more selkie theon (and asha. I just think that would be a vibe. fuck the greyjoy sigil being a kraken for a moment and let them be seals) content.

like the opportunity to have theon's coat taken by ned when he's made his ward is right there and it is perfect and beautiful and tragic.

and you could build on that depending on the version of the selkie myth/story you're going off of (I personally love the song of the sea version of selkies for story writing). maybe he can't talk without it, maybe he gets sick, maybe his voice has magical properties of sorts.

I have this one concept in my head that I don't have the time to write, but it goes something along the lines of theon getting sick after years away from his coat and the stark kids have to find his coat and drag his slowly dying ass to the bay of seals (cause y'know bay of seals and theon's a selkie so he'll turn into a seal... I thought it was creative).

also, in a lot of versions of selkies, when they get sick, their hair turns white, which is on brand for theon. they're also pretty, their stories are typically soaked to the bone in tragedy, they're normally held captive/tortured, amongst other things, which are also very on brand for theon.

and maybe you get some selkie to selkie telepathy of sorts, so when theon finally enter the water a seal again, asha books it to come find him, cause its been years since she's been able to feel him (I'm soft for them, I will create the most improbable and ridiculous scenario's to bring them together and for them to have soft sibling moments).

all and all, theon being a selkie is something I need more content of, please and thank you.

#theon would be a harbor seal and asha would be a leopard seal. I don't make the rules. #I think theon being a selkie would just be cool #like. it would make him being a ward all the more interesting. there's the potential for him to be stripped of his *skin* and his *voice* #and to keep him from the sea would be even more cruel #then there's the different ways you could give him magical properties. he could be enchantingly beautiful. his voice could be magical. he- #could bring good luck to ships. he could have a song that held a specific power of sorts. #there's just so many possibilities and I have many thoughts #also just imagine the starklings. at the very least robb and jon (who barely wants to be there but went for moral support) stealing theon- #and going on a 'roadtrip' to the bay of seals. theon's looks about ready to keel over. robb's panicking. jon's sulking. #the whole of the north is currently hunting them down. cause y'know. the heir to winterfell suddenly dissapeared into the night with the- #ward and the bastard. it would be chaos. #and asha reuniting with her brother in their seal forms. it'd be cute. cause they're chubby little blops and they'd boop each other. #and theon having to decide if he wants to stay with his found family or escaping back to pyke with his sister now that he has the chance. #someone write this. take the idea. just tag me so I can read it #theon greyjoy #asha greyjoy #yara greyjoy #house greyjoy #throbb #vaguely. the potential is right there #got #game of thrones #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #selkies

The contrast of watching Three (who worked with unit for YEARS before any of those boys saw the inside of the TARDIS) and Thirteen (who just picks up random people she's just met and takes them for an adventure) at the same time is WILD

[the-hilda-librarians-wife]

I've come to the conclusion that when it comes to new characters I have the same attitude as a poorly socialized dog. I swear every time new content comes around and we get the news of new characters my instant reaction is to just. Dislike them. Hope they have little to no importance in the plot. Even when the design looks nice and the characters seem interesting. They're taking screen time away from my faves and my heart tells me to Bite

#this isnt even about the Thing. Its about Astrid #that cool and interesting looking old lady #(im assuming thats her name its what ive seen people use) #Im pretty sure there's something ot be said about my autism here #i dont want things to change. I dont want to risk the show taking a turn for the worse and becoming Insane #if it were up to me #s2 would have just been a reprise of s2 while focusing on different things #and s3 would be a reprise of s2 #which means ofc that the show wouldn't be nearly as compelling as it is. that' why i trust the writers #but at the same time I HAAAAAATE CHANGE #I think the longer hiatuses contribute to this. I am given time to adjust to what can be considered canon and then BOOM #rug pulled from under me with only like 2 months of antecedence. #and I have to be prepared to let go of my headcanons and my current views of this world and its characters #and to accept that these new faces they're throwing at us will be just as important as the ones I already know and love #like I WANT to be spoiler free but at the same time I gotta prepare myself for what's coming #bc otherwise I'm gonna get the air knoked out of me fr #cons of letting a show take over 60% of your brain #turns to the other 40%: at least I've got you. you'll never change or abandon me #*the Cells look at me uninpressed and tell me to get a job* #hilda the series #hilda s3

[monty-glasses-roxy]

Honestly, Roxy and Vanessa friendship, especially when Vanny and Glitchtrap are a thing, is really interesting to play around with. Roxy has no reason to talk to her and no reason to ever trust her, especially when she knows about Vanny. Vanessa has every reason to tell her to fuck off, to go away and never come back to keep her from getting attached and inevitably caught and virus'd, but can't bring herself to force her away.

Mixing things from my old horse girl Roxy fic with my current setups, Glitchtrap/Vanny and new ideas for their friendship, makes this even more interesting. It puts Roxy in a very vulnerable position, the prime target for manipulation and being taking advantage of, but it also puts her in prime position to give Vanessa hope.

Roxy can tell who's talking to her, she knows when it's Vanessa and she knows when it's Vanny. She's honestly probably the only person that would believe whatever Vanessa says about what she's going through. The illusion disks don't work on her and she can always see them so long as they're in the building. If she figures out the Princess Quest connection? If she starts working on freeing her? Well, Roxy's the first hope she's had in fuck knows how long.

And the thing is, because Roxy can see it all, she has the power to recognise that what's happening to the other animatronics, is what has already happened with Vanessa. Not only that, but Vanessa is an outsider going through it. She knows she can't say anything too important around her, but she's such a lifeline as an outside perspective to her. She can tell her things that Roxy wouldn't otherwise be able to find out about, and has offered suggestions and advice to 'get rid of her' that's actually helped a lot. With how everything is, Vanessa has become one of the few people Roxy can still talk to, even if she has to be careful about what she says with her.

What else is interesting, is the absolute fascination Vanny can have with her. Neither Vanny nor Glitchtrap know what Roxy's deal is. They don't know how she knows who's talking to her. The first time Vanny switched in to try and manipulate her as Vanessa, Roxy asked for her name and it threw them so fucking hard. Roxy vanishes all the time, she mentions things she has no business knowing, she asks about things that have confusing implications, she has higher security clearance than them, she can kill the cameras in an instant, she can't be tracked like the others and weirdly enough, she seems to actually like talking to them. Maybe not Vanny specifically, but Vanessa? Why does she like her so much? Why does she keep coming back? How does she always know where they are? How is she always there to stop them getting up to shit? What's her game and how the hell is she playing it?

She's just different, and Vanny finds it intriguing. She hasn't had many openings to catch Roxy off guard and infect her yet, but she's also never been able to be in control of Vanessa without her knowing. She's clearly been isolated from the majority of the other animatronics for things that Vanny didn't even have a hand in. She keeps sharing little, inconsequential things with Vanessa, and giving her random shit she finds that she thinks she'll like, despite Vanessa trying to push her away. She's openly admitted that she knows what Vanny is trying to do to her and it's somehow still not stopped her. Honestly, she's starting to think she's playing the 'power of friendship' game to try and friendship her way through all of this...

And it would be really funny if she thought it was working. Like Vanny would normally get rid of things Vanessa likes but because Roxy is throwing them both for a fucking loop, she's found herself unable to do it. Vanny fucking hates this horse plushie Roxy very enthusiastically gave Vanessa, but she can't rip it up like she ordinarily would because what the fuck okay?? Why is she like this??? And it's the first time Vanessa has smiled since this all started.

Vanessa is rooting for her. She thinks this is part of her plan. After all, Roxy couldn't possibly actually see her as a friend, right? Vanny's right, it must be part of some master plan to deal with all of this!

And then it's over. The next time Vanessa sees her, Roxy hugs her in tears, thinking the worst had happened after that night. Or if it was Roxy that freed her, she returns to the office, a new horse plushie she found in hand, and is there waiting for her when she clocks in for her shift after a long break away. Turns out, it wasn't part of her plan. She just needed a friend.

#fnaf security breach #do you see what i mean??? roxy is the most BAFFLING animatronic to them #i don't know if Roxy WILL do all of that stuff specifically but i know she would do some of it at least #this is NOT intended as a ship thing but you can interpret it that way if you want #I'm not judgy i don't really care #i just. they're so interesting??? #obviously it's not always possible for roxy to come and see her later on but she could always leave little signs in her office to say hi #that's the thing with the current setup. Roxy is so much more isolated than before #she has the minis of course and she has the construction staff in a way #but dogs and wolves are such social animals that she still feels so lonely #she's been betrayed already and she's hurting and she's angry and so much is happening it's overwhelming #who can blame her for trying to make friends? #AND this could be a really fun parallel to Cassie and another animatronic if it plays out a certain way #if that friendship is what ultimately leads to roxy getting caught? well yeah... parallels my man #very interesting stuff!! i love it all!!! #i am entertained!!! i just think they're neat!!!

the beatles were the taylor swift of the 1960s. this is not a compliment.

#my post #still need to find a replacement for the white album tho because i'm a completionist #what i mean is that like. i like both of these artists fine #like they're fine. they exist and they do not trigger rage the second i hear them on the radio or whatever #but best artist of our generation? really? have you listened to Any other music ever? #like i have heard the argument that the current generation doesn't like the beatles because of the remasterings on spotify #but honestly this isn't that this is a Record From The Sixties i am listening to it's not the mastering #like i think at this point i just don't think they're as good as some people think they are. they're fine they're just boring #and there's better artists (from that era even!) that i think were doing more interesting things and frankly produced better music #which you would know if you did just like. the barest of deep diving aside from what is uber popular. you know #and this is also how i feel about taylor swift. tbqfh #like she's not BAD she's a decent singer but i see people freaking out about her lyrics and i'm like. wh. this looks like they were written #by a teenager. not BAD. but best ever? lyricist of our generation? most popular singer of our generation? really? #anyway now that i've pissed off swathes of people how are your evenings going?

What Do I Ship?

Don't mistake this for a tolerance or tier list. I will read and write ships that aren't even on this list, or write ships from the secondary list sometimes, this is just to give you a general sense of the stuff I mainly support/think about and in what capacity. Might be updated periodically. Ranting and comments in the tags.

Re: the Mokuba ships, I only ship them in non-problematic ways, where either the Kaiba brothers are ageswapped, making Mokuba the same age as the rest of the main cast, or where they only get together far post-canon where Mokuba's an adult. We cool? Cool.

Primary Ships

(things I can/want to create content for; this does not include every ship I've ever written, just the ones I care about/are currently engaged in writing/plan to write multiple fics for, or ships I just stan in a way that I know it'll never end)

Euroshipping (Kaiba x Ryou) Puppyshipping (Joey x Kaiba) Mumbleshipping (Kaiba x Ryou x Duke) Teaseshipping (Joey x Ryou x Kaiba) Snareshipping (Joey x Duke) Trustshipping (Kaiba x Ishizu) Polarshipping (Joey x Mai) Blueshipping (Kisara x Kaiba) Mizushipping (Kisara x Priest Seto) Minorshipping (Ryou x Duke) Mastershipping (Duke x Kaiba) Puffshipping (Joey x Ryou) Sweetshipping (Ryou x Mokuba) Wintershipping (Mokuba x Amane) Rollshipping (Duke x Ryou x Joey)

Secondary Ships

(things I will read but I don't write {much, or anymore, in some cases} for one reason or other)

Wishshipping (Joey x Yugi) Powershipping (Kaiba x Marik) Graceshipping (Ishizu x Ryou) Doubtshipping (Kaiba x Ryou x Marik) Petshipping (Duke x Kaiba x Joey) Axisshipping (Kaiba x Siegfried) Angstshipping (Ryou x Marik) Irateshipping (Marik x Joey) Buddyshipping (Joey x Tristan) Heartshipping (Yugi x Ryou) Fragileshipping (Yami Yugi x Ryou) Changeshipping (Duke x Marik) Logicshipping (Priest Seto x Priestess Isis) Gemshipping (Ryou x Thief King Bakura) Thiefshipping (Yami Bakura x Marik) Candleshipping (Kaiba x Ryou x Yami Bakura) Antagoshipping (Kaiba x Yami Bakura) Corruptshipping (Priest Seto x Thief King Bakura) Stoicshipping (Kaiba x Priest Seto) Shimmershipping (Duke x Mokuba) Guardshipping (Kaiba x Roland) Ishizu x Duke (doesn't have a name but I like the idea of it)

There's also plenty of random unnamed poly ships that I want to play around with in one-shots, usually a combo of my top six fave characters.

#rose talks #my ships #ship list #creating this post just to link to it in my pinned post. don't mind me. #i might add a third section called “i just think they're neat” #what happened with thiefshipping is that I worked really hard on a one-shot for it and was pretty proud of it #but then it got like no attention and i figured my characterization must have been way off #so i didn't try to write it again after that #i wrote a lot of Marik one-shots a long time ago but I don't think my characterization of him was actually that good #that's why i haven't really written him outside of Rock Bottom in a long time #if you put kaiba ryou duke joey marik in a jar and jumble them all up and pour 2 or 3 of them out. i ship anything that comes out. #almost the same if you replace marik with ishizu but i don't see her and joey working out (unless maybe to gang up on kaiba) #currently intrigued by the idea of kaiba/ryou/ishizu and i would call that scholarshipping if the name wasn't already taken #also just discovered mercuryshipping and i think that would be so fascinating #i think guardshipping can easily be problematic but it doesn't have to be. i think it can be kinda sweet if done right. #re: the mokuba ships i've had someone tell me that shipping child characters with anyone is gross EVEN IF you age them up and um no #every adult ever is an aged-up child. that's how life works. #i'm so much more interested in mokuba as an adult than as a child anyways. just purely from a character perspective #because damn. who knows what this boy will become. ya know? it's about the potential

I've read someone's theory that Barnabas could have created Sleipnir using the soul/aether of someone he's killed before and absorbed their aether (which he seems to be doing with the akashic at the top of the tower in Ash. maybe. idk man), and that is why Sleipnir is the only egi that appears and acts so human. Or that due to his closeness with Ultima he received the power of creation, or some form of it, and was thus capable of giving form to an egi that could develop beyond egis like Chirada and Suparna.

#( ooc ) #honestly it would add very little to current sleipnir because he just is what he is regardless of how he came to be #but i'd find it interesting regardless. esp the first idea jdfg #also sleipnir does identify with humanity to some degree as shown in kanver #when he says “they're men like you and me” about the akashic #...which could be a red herring since at that point we don't really know that he isn't a human but yknow

I adore Bryce Papenbrook's voice acting for Felix but I also strongly believe that Felix should have had a British accent in the English dub.

#rambles #i've just been thinking too hard about felix #in the thing i'm currently writing i'm trying to make him sound at least passably british in dialect #it's interesting bc i've never fully figured out whether he and kagami tend to talk to each other in english or french #i'm erring toward english for a few reasons #but also it depends quite a bit on which country they're in during the wip #just bc they have a greater tendency to speak french in france by default since they're. yknow. around french people #and vice versa #(marinette is currently in the scene and i'm in love w auditory processing disorder marinette so they always speak french for her sake) #(adrien also throws a wrench in it bc idk if *he'd* have a preference for language) #(logically speaking all three of them would probably be super comfortable with both languages bc of tutors) #(it's just. bleh) #(i'm overthinking this bc the only thing it affects is whether i use 'mum' or 'mom' while felix is speaking) #(and that hasn't even come up in any of the situations where he's Definitively been speaking french)

My mental health can't possibly good if an essay on the found family trope gives me such an indescribable feeling of hollowness and yearning

#Generally I know things are bad when some media is unbearable to consume #It's weird because I'm not overtly anxious and I'm less depression paralyzed than a few months ago #But I'm so terrified and hopeless about grad school applications that it's affecting my whole psyche #Even though it's not even a problem in my current life #It's just unbearable to think about or work on and it has been for like two years #Which means it's kinda hard to make any kind of meaningful change that would make me LESS terrified and hopeless #So I don't FEEL anxious or ACT anxious but I'm scared to death and compartmentalizing it #Also I've been in this town where I know none of my friends for more than a year now and also it's so small and I'm so fucking lonely #I don't FEEL lonely like it's not acute and I'm calling and texting people really frequently #But then I never realize I miss my sister until I see her again #And I didn't know how much I missed seeing all my friends irl until I did #Exactly twice in the past year #So there's clearly multiple things fucked up in my subconscious and they're affecting me but I can't directly get a handle on them #Also I want nothing more than to get an astrophysics PhD but it's SO much more competitive than physics #Cause the programs are so small #So do I apply to what I want and increase my chances of being rejected AGAIN #Or do I try and write essays about being interested in something I'm not really #No matter which program I get into I can probably do work in the other in actuality #But I feel like I can't apply to a physics program and exclusively talk about all the faculty I want to work with one department over #And most places don't let you apply to both

The Kaedehara Clan and the Kamisato Clan: Prestige, Family, and Duty

Is anyone else Thinking Thoughts about the narrative foil between Ayato, who took charge of the clan's burdens to save his family, as opposed to Kazuha, who left said burdens because what does the prestige of a clan mean against the happiness of those who live in said clan?

(Continued under the cut - spoilers for Summertime Odysey, Act II (As the Courtyard in Spring Once Appeared)

Then there's Kaedehara Kageharu. Faced with the impending destruction of his family legacy and all he had ever worked for, he told his son, "Family ties are important, but you ought not let it hold you back." The late Lord Kamisato, on the other hand, told his son that "No matter what happens to the Kamisato Clan in the future... ...you are a successor the Kamisato Clan is proud to have."

They both saw the writings on the wall. They didn't want their children to blame themselves for failing to make up for their predecessor's failures. And yet Kaedehara Kageharu wished to free his dutiful son from the burden of his clan, while the late Lord Kamisato, for whatever reason, did not.

Resulting in two different mindsets for these two Inazuman young lords.

In the end, though, both of their motivations stem from the same value: family. To the Kaedeharas, the duty and prestige of the clan comes second to the joy in their family's hearts. To the Kamisatos, the duty and prestige of the clan is a necessary component to ensure the safety of their family. It was never about duty or prestige; it's about the people they love the most... which is a theme that I had played with "Illusionary Palinopsia"; I just didn't expect Hoyoverse to race me to it lol. If I had known, I would've hurried to finish the story earlier.

"What is the Kamisato Clan without my brother or Thoma?" Nothing, is Ayaka's answer, and so her conclusion is, "If the Kamisato Clan falls, then it falls." This train of thought might explain why Ayato had chosen to stay whereas Kazuha had not: the Kamisato Clan is family to Ayato, whereas everyone Kazuha would call family in the Kaedehara Clan is dead and gone.

And thus, Kazuha saw no reason to fight for his clan or revive it. Despite his regret at not being able to protect his family legacy, in the end, legacy is just that: a legacy. It comes second than those who bore the burden with their own feelings and beating hearts. Now, he wanders the world with a clear and enlightened heart, just like what his ancestors wanted for him.
