hate rodrigo (literally) | aeri uchinaga
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
a/n: this is not even a fic this is a tiny little one shot that i wrote yesterday night AT LIKE TWO AM due to thoughts we had in a discord server ahem anyways I FELL ASLEEP THO. soo have this now!!
genre : really bad crack smut like i genuinely have no idea how to describe this
word count : like 600 something?
tags : one shot, smut (obvs), crack, ptv mention, falling in reverse mention, olivia Rodrigo mention, mcr mention, taylor swift mention (sorry @pupyuj)
pairing : angsty!giselle x whitegirlmusic!femreader (I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO LABEL THISSFJEKF)
Tumblr media
your music taste wasn’t something you particularly shared with people, but you didn’t hide it, either. to you, it was music, nothing more, nothing less.
however, one of your friends, aeri, took music very, very seriously, and it really showed. she had a certain aesthetic, she wore certain things and god, did she listen to certain music.
“no like i genuinely can’t grasp the fact that you unironically listen to olivia rodrigo?” she laughed, leaning back on her bed as you stared at her in disbelief.
“god aeri, some of her songs are good, you just haven’t tried them.” you snapped back, wearing a convinced smile as you proceed to jokingly hit her arm.
“okay, sure, whatever. but just imagine getting to know someone, going on dates with them, all the sha-bang. then, when it’s time to get down and freaky, they turn on their sex playlist and motherfucking driver’s license starts playing??”
she was basically cackling at that point and you couldn’t do anything to stop it. defending your cause seemed like it would’ve been difficult, with how far up her own ass she was.
“yeah, because that isn’t a sex song? olivia rodrigo doesn’t make fucking sex music?? try putting a falling in reverse song while you get naked, see how that works out for you.” you fight back.
“oh i don’t know about you, but i’d be soaked for sure. plus, anything would be better than hearing young adult women sing about their previous relationship like it was a war they fought in.” she kid, crossing her arms in victory, as if she even won the argument in the first place.
“i’m gonna make you swallow those words right back up, uchinaga.”
“try me, l/n.”
-
“f-fuck y/n, go- mmh- slower..”
so, it wasn’t supposed to happen this way!
it originally was just the both of you, taking turns and putting different songs on the bluetooth speaker and rating them based on ‘how wet it got you’.
turns out, while that was a theory stage, there seemed to be a practice one too, and you’ve been in it for the past 10 minutes now.
thrusting your fake cock in and out of her, paying no mind to the very loud, very obnoxious pierce the veil song that was playing in the background, you pinned her hands above her head. your pace increased with time, and the decibels of her voice increased with the pace.
“oh my god y/n pleasepleasepleasepleasee i’m s-so sorry i- fuck me- i didn’t mean-“ she cried, poor thing probably didn’t even realize that her black eyeliner was running all over her cheeks. her arms and legs wrapped around you,
“shut your fucking mouth and take it, you emo fucking cumslut.” you slammed your strap into her as she yelled out your name. while she was pleading and begging for something, you were on top of her perfect laying-in-mcr-bedsheets body.
she, herself, wasn’t aware of what she was begging for, her mind was completely blank. all she could think about was how good her pussy felt when you pounded it so violently, when you were being so aggressive with her that you just used her body however you wanted.
you thought that whole thing would be a one-time occurrence, but no, it happened a second time, when she said that taylor swift had mid music. was she doing it on purpose or something?
anyways,
yes, you fucked her with the 1989 album playing.

so this is my take on human Caine
keep in mind that this is all my headcanons and imagination, and I'm going with the theory that he is an AI and he wasn't a human before
(again it's my hc!) also minor tw for drvg mention
so going with that logic, man is an AI, for his whole life all he was, was lines of numerical codes and suddenly he's thrown into this world and becomes a human, as we all are aware a human body needs to comply to the laws of physics, biology, etc., it has needs that need to be taken care of for it to function right which an AI in a digital world doesn't need to do so imo all of that had to mess with his head a lot, I think that there is a high possibility that he would experience some kind of body dysphoria, he would feel that this isn't HIS body, that something isn't right, something doesn't fit etc., that would be pretty logical
complete change of how his brain operates (idk what he had as an AI but let's also call it a brain lol), human body operates on five basic senses, which is something that he didn't have to submit to, the list of "senses" he had as an AI in a digital world is probably long as fuck and now he has to lean on only five basic ones? that gotta suck and be absolutely difficult (which should be obvious, imagine suddenly becoming blind or deaf, now you need to learn to operate with even less senses than you had, fucking sucks), back in the digital world he could do practically everything with little effort and now? he is limited by this human body/world and all the laws it needs to obey
still on those senses, I think they are all over the place because of the sudden change so he would be prone to sensory overloads or something like that
he literally needs to learn all social rules, written and unwritten, and overall the basis our world works on, which we had YEARS to learn about as we grew up, and yeah as an AI he had some info about humans and our world 'cause he had direct contact with us back in the digital world but it wouldn't be even close to enough to live here among us (heh) completely out of nowhere
because of all of this, I think that he would be a total train wreck and he would be very prone to fall into some unhealthy habits, like for example imo he could easily get addicted to drugs (idk what kind tho), he takes some pills and he can "get back" to his old life at least for a moment? sign him up! for that short period of time, he could feel "right" again, he could have control again [I'm also leaning towards the idea that he could develop some kind of control issues considering who he was back in the digital world as an AI], drugs give you a high which on you can imagine/hallucinate/feel a lot of things so yeah, he could easily get addicted to those, especially if his trips would revolve around him being back in his digital world, his home
and nope, it's not me projecting onto my fav character yet again, not at all (I'm a big liar)
but fr tho, I think it would make sense if he actually was an AI who was never a human and somehow he got out of the digital world with all circus crew
Tumblr media
and I made a visual of him in a picrew! (if anyone will want it, I will drop the link to it)
I made some small adjustments in ibis paint lol, like the eye color and the roughly drawn Glasgow smile scars (for some reason it just fits him??? cause he was literally all teeth and it connected in my brain??? idk but my mental imagine of him as a human has those scars, can't do anything about it) + a bit longer lines under his eyes
he would look like he's in his really late 20's or early 30's
bonus, cause I found that t-shirt in the maker lol, Jax gave it to him
a playlist I made and some footnotes with fun hcs
he would love the movie "The Greatest Showman", can't tell me otherwise
I think he wouldn't have a specific music taste, no specific genre etc. but I think he would enjoy music from 80's and 2000's
he cried watching Bambi
his fav candy is Skittles
for the first two weeks the only thing he would eat was any variation of buttered bread, breakfast? toast with butter, dinner? buttered bread with salt, supper? toast with butter but this time with no crust, he would have continued this if Ragatha didn't step in and practically force feed him scrambled eggs one morning and then continued to do so with other foods until he stopped eating just bread
he likes Lady Gaga
he's not allowed caffeine, under any circumstances, never again, the circus gang decided that as a group
surprisingly, he enjoys horror movies
Jax showed him that one video of car driving through the hills (iykyk), he fell out of his chair
his room is very cluttered, messy but in this artsy-homey way
he picks on his skin a lot, especially when he's nervous and because of that his hands are covered in band-aids
he once saw Zooble smoke and asked if he can try, now he joins Zooble on "smoke breaks" because he picked on the habbit, Zooble kinda feels bad about it

IS THIS A FELLOW WITHER & BLOOM FAN I SEE ? No but fr you have absolutely immaculate taste in jiuyuan fics and I hardly see anyone talk abt that absolute masterpiece and so if it's not a bother..
what are your thoughts? theories? any opinions you have about it? or as I myself have left in pretty much every chapters comment section at least once, are there any songs you associate with it?
sorry I just love that fic so much and seeing you, a creator I greatly respect and who's work I adore, recommend it???? ugh this is like a dream come true
Tumblr media
YES I AM!!! Hi!!! 👋👋 It’s no bother and I love being able to rant about fics with others <3 Im super flattered that you like my little doodles as much as I do making them!
I have so many feels about that fic and Jiuyuan’s pining, but it all just boils down to: Hou Xianrong can go rot in hell :)
But seriously, it’s a beautifully written story even though it can get difficult/painful to read sometimes 😬 (see above). I think I love the reveal/reunion scene the most tho. How a simple thing like a nosebleed could lead to finding out just how fucked you really are and the yearning~ my goodness 😭 
As for the street urchin jiuyuan pic, that was not intentionally for wither and bloom (I just wanted to draw young pissed off Shen Jiu and was wondering why he looked that way—realized everything is better with Jiuyuan lol) but it worked perfectly for it! Shen Jiu is fiercely protective of those he counts as his and I think that’s what sells me on this ship 🥺
As for music, hell yeah!
One World - Gargantuan Music
Prayers to the Wind - Eliott Tordo
Carry You - Ruelle
Starlight - Starset
Elastic Heart - Written by Wolves
Heavy - Linkin Park
Grave Mistake - Ice Nine Kills
Dynasty - MIIA (deeper vers)
Don’t Deserve You - Plumb
Yours - Russell Dickerson
Come Around - Papa Roach
Love Don’t Die - The Fray
I’ve got more but these are the ones that have the specific vibes and I love that music changes in meaning or emotion depending on whatever content you’re focusing on <33 Thank you sososo much!

{ryan destiny, 28, ciswoman, she/her} We are so glad to see you safe, PRINCESS JALENE of ETHIOPIA! It’s dangerous out in the world these days, but I hear that you are WITTY and PASSIONATE enough to handle it. Just don’t let your NAIVETE bring you down! Stay on your guard, because with your secret being at risk for exposure, you wouldn’t want everyone to find out YOU ARE VULNERABLE AFTER YOUR MOTHER’S PASSING, AND UNSURE OF YOUR PLACE IN THE IMPENDING CONFLICT.
basics;
name, age, kingdom: jalene, 28, ethiopia
sexuality: bisexual in theory, but she has yet to find a man that truly enchants her. women enchant her every day tho &lt;3
zodiac sign: leo
likes: loud music in a crowd of laughing people, long afternoons lazing in the sun, the very intricate pretend worlds of little girls, the methodical process of oiling her hair and skin
dislikes: stillness, excessive propriety, shoes she can't dance in, thunderstorms she's not allowed to go outside in, the people that take advantage of her family's kindness
a little deeper;
jalene spent a long time being the baby of the family. she has always known she would not rule, and frankly, it was a relief. though she is intelligent and works hard at the things she finds interesting, she values her freedom.
and perhaps more importantly, she doesn't have the stomach for the difficult decisions rulers have to make. despite the tragedy that has beset her family in recent years, she remains an idealist who strives to see the best in people.
she sort of has an innate talent for diplomacy, except that she has a difficult time building relationships that are strategic. she just enjoys connecting with people and learning about them.
the loss of her mother has hit her hard, and she is sitting with a lot of unprocessed grief. they were very close, and her mother embodied the kind of woman she wanted to be. she had a way of moving through the world that jalene hasn't seen in anyone else, not even the rest of her beloved family.
she has a temper. she's generally quite a patient person and it takes a lot to unearth it, but if pushed too far, her kindness will shutter completely, and she'll let anger overtake her.
her family is changing in a way she does not recognize, cannot truly understand, and fears she cannot keep up with. though she knows they will always love her, she fears being useless, or worse, a liability and a potential target.
fun extras;
she loves music. she loves to dance, she's proficient at a variety of instruments and genuinely skilled at one or two, and she has a very nice singing voice
she enjoys learning new languages, but has little patience for the academic study of it. if she can learn through listening and talking, she stays engaged.
she can, occasionally, be a bit vain, though she isn't so forthright about it. however, if there's a bout of unplanned rain and she's outdoors, it will elicit some light shrieking and running for cover.
she loves being an aunt. she dotes on her nephews and niece, they are her little besties. she is their most loyal accomplice in mischief >:)

WTNV EPISODE 207 ✨spoilers✨
LOST CAT OH NO OH NO OH NO
5…… months :( oh hes been looking for him :( :( :( oh no
CAT PARK PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED IN THE CAT PARK omg thats so funny
Kevin James …..
that was a CRAZY A FLAT MAJOR CHORD WHAT
i rlly love the music during traffic
so cecil did go to college? Hmmmmm having Thoughts
not city council eating the strays oh no
‘it is my truth’ ‘words are only worth how much worth we give them’
i love when cecil does story episodes bc its just like hes ignoring the town news to talk about his life which is so funny— imagine being a citizen and being like “welp— here we go again”
if cecil finds out his cat is an angry little man this episode im — Oh Oh OH ITS HAPPENING — oh cecil doesnt believe oh you dingus you absolute dingus. SHES got a long island accent OMG OMG
PLANET LIT BY NO SUN
“THE SCIENTIST I INTERVIEWED THIS MORNING WHILE GETTING OUR CHILD BATHED AND DRESSED” kdjcjlskdk aw that whole exchange was so !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! awww aww “im sorry hun i cant catch every show” “thats okay i still love u my anonymous source” MY HEART realistic expectations 😌
oop NAME DROP
cecil yelling in the distance away from the mic is always my favorite
my physics professor says “past performance is not an indicator of future results” why does he keep mentioning this professor why am i nauseous why does who says it keeps changing i know carlos said it at least once too
Tumblr media
HEY HEY GUYS THAT LINE USUALLY MEANS A PRETTY HEAVY EPISODE (i think it was also said in triptych which was…. A lot)
17. aw okay cecil ending with ‘thanks for listening to my stories it helps me to heal’
18. crazy that we might get an another episode where they take a little trip tho! to see some art! thats cool :)
conclusion: this episode had a lot of themes of not really knowing someone like you think you do — which i can see being a difficult concept for cecil. it also had a theme of assigning value to words and stories — and the importance of listening to someone. idk how i feel but it makes me feel a little wary, and a little content, of him purposely bringing up the fact that carlos doesnt (and very reasonably) listen to every single one like he once said. carlos’ actually wise quote about relying on faith for things we don’t want to be skeptical about threw me off too bc i expecting something silly and then he said that so its also SUPER ROMANTIC that he said that to his husband so im…….. having mixed feelings — also when i dont have to go to work in like 30 minutes im gonna write some theories up bc this episode gave me a lot of Big Brain Thoughts …. Like…. Desert bluffs thoughts…you know bc faith vs. skepticism and a planet lit by no sun and all my feelings ABOUT THAT
Bulks Rating: 9/10 — good episode

okay so. im like. idk ANY music theory. like. at all apart from when i played the piano for a couple years when i was like 7. so. this is definitely the ramblings of a guy who is being very autistic about bug video game. and nothing more. (and also has been done before i am purely doing this for @exnihilo-comic​ bc they asked me on my thoughts) BUT. i am sooooo fucking insane about the hollow knight ost. (LONGGGG post below the cut)
SO LIKE. theres OBVIOSULY the like. main theme yknow. thats in enter hallownest and the title screen song. the one that goes likeeee errr. (wait i gotta look up smth rq)
OKAY SO THERES THIS. (just taken from here) :
Tumblr media
anddd theres this :
Tumblr media Tumblr media
WHICH is like. yknow. the whole Big leitmotif of. Everything. BUT. the thing is. i was wondering which songs specifically it is in. bc like. im hoping its not just. hallownest’s motif. and more for smth specifically. BUT YEA. so so far theres obviously the title screen and enter hallownest (which is the trailer music im p sure ?)(ok yea it was the ferocious foes trailer music). BUT. im gonna go thru all the songs n see which ones have this in (i will not be accurate as im going by ear since errrrr. im not the best at reading sheet music)
okay well dirtmouth (taken from here) IMMEDIATELY has the theme in it (with the bit in red missing)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
it is clearly slower n in a dif key but like. the same theme
and pretty much most of the melody of dirtmouth is like. essentially this same theme. just a loaddd slower. and in a dif key. im not gonna screenshot each comparison and try to pinpoint each difference bc. like ive said, idk music theory. i just like video game osts.
okay so crossroads is a little more difficult but to me it sounds like it possibly has the same chord progression ? but i may be speaking out my arse so someone who actually knows what theyre talking abt could draw comparisons.
altho i DO want to talk abt the crossroads track. this is the part where i start bullshitting FULLY. so like smth i LOVE abt it is how very drawn out each note is. like it sets the scene of hk PERFECTLY. its like. the track feels a lot more loose ? i suppose ? than the other songs you wouldve heard by now. which ig feels like it rlly shows how sorta. abandoned and like. i mean “forgotten” the “forgotten” crossroads rlly r. like they have no sorta form left but its clear that crossroads was once a place w a lot more life in it besides the handful of npcs u meet there (well like. yknow. uninfected life). but the one thing abt the crossroads track is that it sounds. calm yknow. which does reflect the crossroads compared 2 the other locations. the enemies there r simple enough to defeat and theres plenty of safe spots. its right under dirtmouth so its (before its infected) the safest area a player will explore for a whileeee. anyways ye the crossroads track is cool.
okay w the false knight battle theme i wasnt RLLY gonna say anything abt it BUT. it does actually have the main theme in it.
(link)
Tumblr media
sooo yea so far the only connection ive made is Almost Every Song Has This Theme In It.
oh also in the false knight theme there is this ONE bit that sounded a little like the very beginning of the mantis lords theme to me but idk theyre not the CLOSEST just similar.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
anyways next song: greenpath. so i THINK its happened again and THE WHOLE BIG LEITMOTIF IS ONCE AGAIN HERE.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
like dirtmouth it is slower and in a different key but thats definitely it. which honestly was unexpected i didnt think it was in any area music. so once again, i think this is in literally almost EVERY track so thats making me more wonder abt the tracks its NOT in. but ill come to that later maybe. what i do want to know is if theres anything else in greenpaths track thats in another song. what im thinking is perhaps therell be a similarity between greenpath and hornets battle music ?
okay this sorta call and response thing here is interesting to me because it sounds veryyyy familiar to me. (everytime i have heard it tho it just sounds like either hornets voice at some point or when sly says gibolen mas sooo take this as u will. i am however listening 2 a couple of hornets lines and the closest i think there is is when she says la fe nuva nido or whatever that gibberish is) anyways the call and response interests me.
Tumblr media
anyways more abt greenpaths song in general terms, i do love how this one feels a lot more full of life than crossroads, because crossroads felt very barren w the blue and the brick(?) whereas greenpath is full of life, just in the sense of scenery. its (obviously) a lot greener and full of plant life which already feels loads more alive. and the enemies there also arent simply just husks (AND EVIL SAP MONSTERS) theres like. theres moss creatures and fucking squits and those shooty wall things and just a whole lot more life, and that is reflected very well in the track bc it sounds a lot more full and like it has actual emotion. and even the battle theme (like where u fight the moss knight) is a lotttt more emotional and tense than crossroads’ - which feels a lot more like just sorta. primal fear what with a beat that sounds almost like a heartbeat and the repetitive drums. but greenpaths battle theme is a LOT more lively and dance-like and it has DEPTH. idk i thinkkk im rambling a little but i do love greenpaths contrast with crossroads
OKAY. hornets battle theme. smth obviously noticed a lot before is her theme is comprised of only string instruments (yknow bc. shes a spider n uses a needle and will star in SILKsong so like. yeah. string) ONCE AGAIN. the main motif is in this song surprise surprise. (link)
Tumblr media
altho smth interesting abt it is how it changes depending on which half of the theme is playing. for the first half the er. whatever u call the top bit i forgot. is playing it (and im prettyyy sure its a violin or viola or smth similar). but then it switches to the er. bottom line. and is played by a perhaps cello ??? smth lower than the first instrument. and different. which i think is a nice little thing AND is similar to the call and response from greenpath.
thats p much all i can say in terms of “technical” stuff BUT. in terms of vibes. I love how perfect this is for hornets fight. it definitely reflects how shes a lot more agile than the false knight and depends less on pure strength and more on her movement in the arena. i love how very fast paced it is AND HOW HAPPY IT IS. it is a VERY happy piece because hornet is ENJOYING HERSELF. bc yes her and ghost r fighting but she never wants to HURT it (even if i DIED to her like. a million times.) and WE never hurt her, we just beat her (and if ur a speedrunner, bully her in a corner) but she laughs during the fight, she has silly little battle cries, shes having a FUN TIME. which is shown in the music bc its CONSISTENTLY HAPPY. also the very sharp and sorta staccato (see i know SOME music terminology) notes throughout r veryyy fitting for the fights pacing and hornets attacks.
Okay this has been sitting in mt drafts for a bit and idk i might rb w add ons but j think i was just on smth else that night bc ive never been like. In the Mindset(tm) to do more of this. Ok. Have fun exnihilo person. Yea.

Even more emoji prompts for my traveler Katiya! (the original post wasn't actually cut in half so ive fixed that. i've added a few extra ones tho) ah ha I skipped anything I couldn't think of an answer to or anything that asked when she wants in life. (Beyond the plot, she doesn't have anything beyond wanting to be happy and free and loved.) cut for length again
💐 BOUQUET - create a bouqet for them! what do those flowers mean? are any of the flowers their particular favourite?
Fragrant flowers are her favorite: lilies, gardinas, jasmine, honeysuckle, plumeiras, lilacs, roses ect. Lilies in particular.
A bouquet with lilies as the centerpeice with nice, chunky greenery and depending on season some sunflowers/roses/peonies or a variety of lilies
plant symbolism varies so much depending on source and color im not going to go into it
📚 BOOKS - how were they at school? what is their best subject? what is their worst subject? do they have a favourite subject?
A bit of a trouble-maker tbh. She and Arlo were a menace to have in the same class together as children (they were only taught together b/c they were the same age)
Best subject was the Arts in general, liked geography. Bad at maths and would try to skip those lessons
Music theory could be difficult but she found it rewarding and likes to write her own music
Found herself enjoying sciences as well but wasn't great at it.
👖 JEANS - what is their go-to outfit?
Generally, she'll pick a cute sundress that tapers in at her waist and is cut low at the front. Length from cocktail to tea. Maybe a cute cardigan
Grew up in a borderline tropical climate so doesn't know how to dress for cold: does not have a cold outfit
Has never had a lot of choice in what her closet holds. while she can give a bit of input but it's not like she went shopping for her own clothes so there will be a bit of an adjustment period now that she can shop for herself
It's difficult for her to admit to much more then a preference for dresses and skirts but likes to show off what she considers to be assets and prefers high quality fabrics (this one is very very hard to get out of her and she likely wont admit it b/c she feels greedy)
🔫 PISTOL - do they trust people easily? how easily will they turn their back to someone? have they been backstabbed before? will they betray someone if given an ultimatum?
Even if Vexx hadn't done what he did she wouldn't trust easily
Growing up in the family and culture she did it just wasn't an option
Was often 'backstabbed,' there are a few instances where her siblings (mostly celest and arlo) would pretend to make friends with her just to get something or fuck with her or as a fun game
Guards and servants would often report her when she would wander off somewhere she shouldn't be or doing something she wasn't supposed to do
So trust is in short supply
However, she is learning that she's fiercely loyal to the people she cares about and a little selfish: if she had to chose between a person she loved dearly and the world she would chose the person with little hesitation.
❇️ SPARKLE - what is their most prized possession? what do they value?
The music box Nerissa gave her has been her most prized possession since she received it. Katiya usually hates getting gifts but this was a kind reminder that even if her sister wasn't there, she was: a comfort
She would get little things and hide them in her room as momentous as well, a habit we see being carried on now. She doesn't have to hide them in a box under a tile under the bed now though
The knife we receive from Damon just before Teraninum is important to her as well: no one had ever given her the means to even try to defend herself before. Although it was a pragmatic decision on Damon's part, it means something to her and that knife is never something he's getting back.
🚲 BICYCLE - can they ride a bike? what do they remember from learning to ride a bicycle?
No :) she can't drive anything either.
It would be a cute idea to have Vexx teach her while they were in the city but I think the risk of injury would have dissuaded them
📎 PAPERCLIP - a random fact (or three).
Is petty. Is usually good at hiding it but when she lost her memory she didn't have that filter. It came out in pointedly ignoring Cal at times and picking Damon to run errands with her when he made snide comments
Would hide in the large fountains at the palace at times. I hc them as salt water and having plantlife/corals/fish in them so with her green hair she fit right in
(NSFW) Katiya is very open to experimentation in regards to sex, including threesomes/group sex. Down the line she, damon, alisa, and zane hook up (assuming everyone survives). She ends up being the focus there b/c everyone wants a taste of the princess-it's a lot for her and it's the only time she's had to use a safeword.
🌋 VOLCANO - how bad is their temper? is it a slow boil, or a instant explosion?
Slow boil, 100%
It'll either fizzle out or explode one day. is petty in the meantime
🌌 MILKY WAY - what was the inspiration behind your oc? what was the first thing you decided about them?
I chose the kit option and havent looked back. space mermaids??! of course i chose that one
I like... seaweed mermaids
Green, curly hair was the first thing I decided on. I waffled for a little cause I wasn't sure about natural hair colors for kit, asking on the server did not help, and eventually I just said fuck it after finding an old piece of lore about aya's hair originally being purple. It's a good thing i was right b/c at that point i wasn't going to redesign her

Astonishing 2 Hours with Dream Theater
Tumblr media
Manahan Stadium, Solo (10/8/22)
It is impossible not to post this on my blog while it was one of the best night or day in my life. Imagine you've been listening to a band you lived so far away from for like 10-12 years, a legendary band, and you finally had the chance to see them perform live. You couldn't ask for more!
(And oh btw just realized that my last blog post was talking about Tuscany and how Dream Theater's The Count of Tuscany was one of influence for me to go there??! Just a reminder, pay attention to what you write and wish for! Because you never knew when will it came true)
Btw there were 10 songs in the show, mostly (4 songs) from A View of Top of the World album, their 15th studio album. Honestly it's amazing how they still producing this quality music at their age and considered productive. I mean, many younger bands come and go, then disappear but Dream Theater are still here.
From "only" 10 songs, it is quite difficult to predict which songs they pick for this show, other than those from the latest album. Some fans have complained that Dream Theater didn't choose Spirit Carries On 😅 (to be honest, I wished they don't pick that song and quite sure they won't pick that song, and I was right).
But, I was a happy fan that night because Dream Theater performed my favorite songs from the new album (Awaken the Master and Alien), my first DT song (The Ministry of Lost Souls), and one of my most favorite ones (The Count of Tuscany). I was a little emotional and cried like a baby when I heard The Count of Tuscany's intro like... "OMFG I'm seeing them playing this masterpiece live 😭 ".
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here is the setlist in Manahan Stadium show:
1. Alien (Grammy-winning song. Very explosive and great pick for opening. Solo part got me cried a baby)
2. 6:00 (surprisingly, I already expected them to perform this song because Mangini posted the 6:00 cover one day before the show)
3. Awaken the Master (my favorite track in the album. The title sums up the whole music well. My face when I see Dream Theater played this song live > 🥹🥹😭)
4. Endless Sacrifice (the only song in the show that I'm not familiar with. Needed to see the setlist to realized that I actually knew this song)
5. Bridges in the Sky (wished they choose Breaking All Illusions instead, but this one is ok tho)
6. Invisible Monster
7. About to Crash
8. The Ministry of Lost Souls (my first DT song back then in the high school. Ballad one, easy listening for "beginners". As time passed by, this song is actually boring but has a strong solo part. Still, memorable for me. I remember the old days when I learned guitar for this song's intro, even though I failed lol)
9. A View From Top of the World (mind-blowing song. Not a catchy one at first, heavy, and I needed to hear it like 3 times to declare this song as one of my favs in the album)
10. The Count of Tuscany (on the list of my top five most favorite DT songs. Got me cried while seeing Petrucci's solo intro and actually in a whole song. Great closing)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
To this day, still find it surreal that I had the chance to see them in person and get to the front row as well. Only fence that separating me and Dream Theater lol.
I didn't attend their shows in 2012, 2014, and 2017. And their show in 2020 was canceled due to covid restriction. But the wait has all paid off. More than satisfied and what a blissful day. Would like to see them again in the future! Any song request? Yess! I'd like to see them perform Illumination Theory. What a masterpiece!

Some probably already well-known textual research about our beloved Angry Piano Man
Edit 2021/11/06: I looked through some other materials. It seems that there were more depiction of their relationship as “mutual mistrust” instead of outright hostility or jealousy of any kind. I suppose it’s a more accurate (and safer) way of describing things, since we really have no way of knowing?
Just some afterthoughts now that my brain is clearer. The whole jealousy things are mostly speculations, don’t take it for granted. I’m no professonal musicologist or historian.
READ THIS WITH CAUTION. IF YOU ARE TRULY INSTERESTED, GO DO SOME RESEARCH YOURSELF. IT’S MUCH MORE INTERESTING TO SEE IT USING YOUR OWN EYES.
-------------------------------
So I did a little bit of research on Mozart and Salieri's relationship in REAL LIFE history.
We know that in FGO's materials Typemoon had officially decided that nasuverse Amasali are friends when both were alive, and judging from Mozart's dialogue to Avenger Salieri, probably something closer to best friend. However their relationship in real life history is still somewhat contested. Historians generally agree that Salieri WAS NOT directly involved in the Death of Mozart, but people are kinda arguing over whether he had indirectly accerlate Mozart's death, i.e. by hindering Mozart's carrier and make his life difficult.
(I personally don't really buy that but for the sake of fairness I will still present those argument)
But do take all words written here with a grain of salt as I am not a professionaly historian or musicologist LOL
****
Basically, three kinds of theory:
1. Mozart and Salieri's rivalry was a friendly and professional one that did not extend into personal life, they were friends since 1785 or 1786-ish.
2. Their rivalry was not frindly but remained professional. Both are acutly aware of each other as possible hindrance to their own career but remained respecful (if not distant). Their relationship might have gotten better around 1790 but was cut short due to Mozart's death.
3. The respect is a facade and their rivalry was pretty bitter with both sides trying to make the other's life difficult. Mozart may have bad-mouthed Salieri to some friends and supporters while Salieri (and his intrigues) may have tried to get Mozart and his works out of Vienna.
******
Materials supporting tne Friendly Rivalry Theory
1. Mozart's last letter in 1791 records that he took Salieri and Cavalier to his opera The Magic Flute. Salieri was completely enamored by the opera and had cheered vigorously and said he really like it. Mozart's Davide penitente (1785), his Piano Concerto KV 482 (1785), the Clarinet Quintet (1789) and the 40th Symphony (1788) had been premiered on the suggestion of Salieri, who supposedly conducted a performance of it in 1791.
2. Per la ricoperata salute di Ofelia. This short cantata was composed by both Mozart and Salieri, as well as a guy called Cornetti. If they can collaborate, at least it means that their relationship is Not THAT bad.
3. People had remembered Salieri as a just and kind good guy. There were records showing he had taught poor musicians and donated to charities. Da Ponte (who received his post in court with the help of Salieri) and Ignaz Moscheles also echoed thos view and remembered him fondly.
4. Salieri had taught talented musicians like Beethoven, Schubert and Liszt. None of them had faced possible hindrance in career path from Salieri, suggesting he couldn't have done it to Mozart either. “Antonio Salieri and Viennese Opera” (John A. Rice) mentions a paragraph that Mozart had called Salieri “Papa” at least once (lmao what) which indicate their relationship is good. (Some of his student had also affectionately referred to him as “Papa”). Also the fact that Schubert D407 (Beitrag zur fünfzigjährigen Jubelfeier des Herrn von Salieri) exist and was dedicated to Salieri.
5. Salieri was much more successful and respected than Mozart when the latter was alive, there's no point for him to sabotage the latter's life.
6. They've borrow each other's music in their own works. Salieri had borrowed some part of Mozart’s O helliges band in his Requiem in C minor (Lacrimosa). Mozart’s The Magic Flute also echoes Salieri's music in that Papageno's whistle is based on a motif borrowed from Salieri's Concerto for Clavicembalo in B-flat major.
7. Salieri himself ISN'T a bad musician like pop culture implies. Joseph II and Gassman weren't deaf and he was appointed court Kapellmeister for a good reason. And good old Beethoven never deny that he’s a student of Salieri. FGO’s avenger Salieri also has some attack sound effects taken from RL Salieri’s works: both Buster and Quick card effects are from Requiem in C minor (Dies Irae), while the one for Extra attack is an variation of a selection from his Concerto in C major. Those were pretty good. It’s true that he was probably not on the same level as Mozart (I doubt if any contemporaries around the same age to Mozart was), but to say that Salieri has no musical talent at all would be an insult.
******
Materials Against Friendly Rivalry Theory
1. Mozart’s letters had also frequently put Salieri as suspects for attempts at sabotaging his works. Leopold Mozart and his son certainly didn’t like Italians very much, and while how much of those letters are facts remains unknown, there is also no way for us to know if those letters are “untrue”. Like all famous people, Mozart indeed had many enemies, and considering the political situation (the antagonism between German nationalists and Italians) it is entirely possible that some Italian composers at Vienna back then had plotted against him (or it could have been the other way around), though we do not know if Salieri is involved.
2021/11/06 Edit: There’s also an argument states that it was mostly Mozart’s dad Leopold that shows hostility towards Salieri in the letters, and Mozart himself is more positive about Salieri.
2. About Per la ricoperata salute di Ofelia, there were arguments suggesting that the cooperation is suggested, if not forced by Joseph II. There were also arguments suggesting that the cantata itself is pretty “meh” compare to Salieri or Mozart’s regular work, which some people use as evidence of reluctant cooperation and none of the two actually had any dedication to this collborative work.
3. Salieri being a good and charitable guy didn’t mean anything when it comes to dealing with Mozart. Good people also have dark sides and are fully capable of doing bad things. Using that to argue Salieri won’t work against Mozart’s work is a logical fallacy. In fact, Da Ponte had alluded in his writings that Mozart was driven to a despair state when the premiere of Don Giovanni was sabotaged (?), and some suggests that it was Salieiri doing that, but because I couldn’t get a english translated copy of Da Ponte’s writing I couldn’t verify if Da Ponte actually suggested that. Ignaz Moscheles had also suggested something similar by saying that “Morally [Salieri] had no doubt by his intrigues poisoned many Mozart's existence”.
4. None of Schubert, Beethoven or Liszt had been Salieri’s contemporary and did not compete with him in terms of career or work. If considering things from that perspective, Mozart could be targeted for a good reason.
5. Again; being successful and having a good life does not mean anything, it’s irrelevant to the topic question. While the events in Amadeus (1984) were indeed more fictional than historical, it does show that human emotions work in weird ways...
6. Quote Wikipedia: “The rivalry between Salieri and Mozart became publicly visible as well as audible during the opera composition competition held by Emperor Joseph II in 1786 in the Orangery at Schönbrunn. Mozart was considered the loser of this competition. Mozart's 1791 opera The Magic Flute echoes that competition because the Papageno–Papagena duet is similar to the Cucuzze cavatina in Salieri's Prima la musica e poi le parole. The Magic Flute also echoes Salieri's music in that Papageno's whistle is based on a motif borrowed from Salieri's Concerto for Clavicembalo in B-flat major.” (Idk what this actually meaned, I’m pretty dense when it cames to musical theories but I guess it’s suggesting that there’s a difference between borrowing due to appreciation and borrowing due to bitterness?)
7. Again; some people would argue Salieri being a decent musician itself could have instead provided motivation for demoaralization of Mozart and his work. I’m not gonna explain that but do refer to Amadeus (1984) if you don’t understand how human jealousy works.
*******
Afterwords I mean Rants
Make your own decisions. I just list whatever I could find, because honestly I don’t really know which side is correct. I personally tend to place RL Mozart & Salieri somewhere between theory 1 and 2. As for Nasuverse Amasali, I DON’T CARE I JUST WANT THEM TO ENJOY MUSIC TOGETHER AND BE HAPPY AKDJFLKSJDKJALJFDJALK
Ahem. As you can see, the foundamental distinction between the opposing theories seems to be the contests about whether Salieri is actually envious of Mozart’s talents.
But so what? Even if he is indeed envious, it doesn’t necessarily prove that he did Mozart anything wrong. It just provided a possiblity for a motivation if he did. But still - there were way too many studies about Mozart and way too less about Celery *cough* Salieri. Just a few days ago I was searching for a copy of Braunbehrens’ Maligned Master and I ended up having to buy a second handed old copy from US, and why is that? Because there’s no available copy in the library around me or on Internet archive. For many time Salieri seems to only appear in studies about Mozart as footnotes and side characters. I mean, this guy deserves some more dedicated and careful research. We could know Antonio Salieri as a human more, not just an alleged persecuter of Mozart.
The last thing I want to rant about is that jealousy or envy is an emotion so human, and from my own experience, they often comes hand in hand with awe and hate (so hey, that paragraph of Salieri’s monologue in fgo 2.1 - I believed it was chapter 15 - was pretty accurate!). If someone like Salieri is envious of Mozart then all of M’s contemporaries probably also did LOL. Ah the complexity of human emotions and brains. Such wonders.
Uhhhh I’ve been high on my own thoughs and ranting too much again ... sorry...

oh hey, apologise in advance for asking for more Genshin Impact content but my soul needs this, can i get some uh... domestic fluff headcanons for: Ganyu, Sucrose an our boi Venti? many thanks in advance 👌
Domestic Headcanons: Sucrose & Venti
Sucrose:
Tumblr media
It took a long while to be able to act casual around each other
Mostly Sucrose
With her shy personality, it was hard for her to relax
Another person would be with her almost all the time
Of course tho she didnt truly mind
Domestic life with Sucrose includes soft touches
Hand holding, specifically locking pinkies, gentle hugs, breakfast consisting of bacon and eggs every morning, and of course helping her with her alchemy
It's a tough subject, one you applaud her for excelling in
With the difficult chemical equations, the math, and the confusing nature, it was hard to keep up
So you mostly act as an assistant
Handing her bottles and books, tools and trinkets
It's really great at nighttime
You always have to drag her to bed otherwise she'll be up until daybreak concocting potions and testing theories
But once you finally get her to settle down, she's the adorable little spoon, curling into your body and snuggling up to you
You're also the only person she'd ever let touch her ears
Venti:
Tumblr media
Never a dull moment
He loves to run around Mondstadt with you in tow
Every shenanigan is usually his idea
He absolutely adores PDA
He's not afraid to hug you, tackle you, hold your hand, swing you around in a dance, or even pick you up despite his small stature
But most of all his favourite thing to do with you is almost nothing at all
The quiet moments late into the night are always preferred
He appreciates the sincerity that comes from your talks during these hours
When you're too tired to have a filter or be embarrassed, when you just let your emotions out, your hopes and fears
During bedtime, he loves to play soft music for you to fall asleep to
You're usually resting your head on his lap when this happens and he enjoys watching your face relax and let your beauty show

Tumblr media
She couldn’t believe how much shit that stupid kiss had landed her in. Her head was clouded, arms crossed over her chest as she stared down at her lap, trying not to grumble. Not only her own manager was sat in the room, but 5 seconds of summer’s too, along with their bassist, one of the people she hated most, Calum Hood.
“We have seen how everyone reacted to the speculation,” The woman in front of her started, legs pressed together with a large binder sitting on her lap, hands folded gently on top. Normally Y/N got on quite well with her manager, Caroline, but right now she wanted to scream due to the words coming out of the woman’s mouth, “You’ve been gaining popularity from it, Y/N. This could be a great way for you to gain more of a following.”
Y/N had dreamed of the day she started to trend on Twitter, but this was not what she wanted to be trending for. She wasn’t trending for her music, not even her newest single. No, she was trending because everyone thought she was Calum Hood’s girlfriend.
Speaking of the boy, he sat beside her, keeping quietly to himself. This had to have been the first time that he had ever been in her presence where he hadn’t been annoying the shit out of her. Must be because his manager is in here. He had already been approached about it and seemed sold on the idea.
An idea of them being in a fake relationship.
Her, with Calum Hood. She wanted to scoff at the thought. He was unbearable at best, constantly annoying her to the point where she wanted to rip her hair out. When she had first been asked to be the opening act for 5 Seconds of Summer’s tour she had been ecstatic. The boys were nice, welcoming her onto their tour with open arms. Honestly, Y/N got on with all of them, apart from Calum. From the moment he set eyes on her he seemed determined to do anything and everything in his power to piss her off, slowly waiting until she finally lost her cool and lashed out. It was frustrating, especially considering Y/N knew she couldn’t do much about it.
Now, not only did she have to put up with Calum normally, but they wanted her to get close with him. To be in a fake relationship, which, obviously, meant spending more time with him.
“So, of course, you guys will have to be seen out in public with one another every so often so we were thinking you guys get ‘caught’ kissing my paps again, then we’re thinking dropping hints,” Ink began to get scribbled across a piece of paper, writing out a messy and brief plan which Y/N didn’t even want to look at, “Possibly y/n being caught wearing Calum’s shirt...We aren’t entirely sure yet but we will make sure to keep you updated. Do either of you have any questions?”
Despite the question seeming like it was for both of them, it was directed at Y/N, and she knew that. PR stunts and fake dating amongst celebrities were never unheard of, but she never thought she would be getting into one herself, not now and definitely not with Calum, “I do, actually. What’s in it for him exactly?”
The question was asked towards the two managers, y/n honestly didn’t want to even look at Calum right now. He probably wanted to do this simply to annoy her because he knew that he was the bane of her existence, but y/n just hoped that he wouldn’t get even more annoying, despite knowing he definitely would take advantage of the situation.
“Publicity,” His manager stated simply, nodding his head slightly in her direction. Y/n didn’t know what else to say, and they all were enveloped in a very uncomfortable silence before Caroline let out a sigh, snapping her folder shut.
“Well if that’s all,” She stood up, making y/n’s eyes travel up to her as she began to walk away, “We will leave you two be.”
With that, the two managers left without another word, shutting the door behind them. Y/n and Calum sat in awkward silence for a few moments, y/n’s eyes set firmly in the door before she stood up, going towards the door before Calum caught onto her hand.
“Where are you going?”
“Away,” Y/n huffed, tugging her hand away from the boy’s grip as she glared down at his hand. He awkwardly pulled his hand back, putting his hands down in his lap, “Going to get my last few hours of peace before we have to start this PR stunt.”
“Aw y/n/n, not wanna spend time with me, huh?” Calum teased, making her roll her eyes. He was already annoying her and he had barely spoken three sentences to her; something he had a special gift for.
“No, not really,” He gave her a fake pout before a smirk rose to his lips, making her roll her eyes.
Calum was acting as if she would actually enjoy his company. The same Calum Hood that woke her up by pouring a bucket of water on her that morning. Freezing cold water. Dickhead.
“Why are you doing this? Like why are you actually doing this?” She asked suddenly, making Calum meet her gaze with those brown eyes of his.
He shrugged, averting his gaze for a moment before speaking, “Publicity. It might not get us any more listeners but it’ll get people talkin’.”
They fell into an uncomfortable silence before y/n nodded her head, “Fair enough. I’m gonna get going. Bye.”
And with that, y/n left the room.
  Both y/n and Calum were walking together, hand in hand after a lovely ‘date’ together. It, honestly, was nothing short of awkward. Honestly, they didn’t know what to talk about with one another when they weren’t fighting; something that they became painfully aware of on their trip out that evening.
Calum, despite normally being reserved and quiet in public, actually took the lead in the conversation. Mostly because y/n didn’t know what to say and they knew that they couldn’t sit in silence, especially if someone noticed them and noticed that they didn’t even talk to one another.
It was the first PR date that had been set up, only three days after their meeting discussing the start of their fake relationship. Y/n couldn’t lie, she was incredibly nervous and uncomfortable, her white dress doing nothing to protect her from the cold air nipping at her skin.
As instructed, she was holding onto Calum’s arm, one wrapped around and intertwined with his bicep and the other one clasping their hands together. It’s a strange and awkward movement to uphold, especially when walking but they do it nonetheless.
“Calum, stop going so fast, I can’t keep up properly,” Y/n muttered to him quietly, almost tripping over her own feet when she felt herself getting tugged yet again due to her hold on Calum.
His eyes briefly flicked back to her, “I can’t really help it, y/n. I’m already going as slow as I can.”
“Well sorry I don’t have legs like the BFG like you, I’m trying not to fall ‘cause you keep tugging at me. This dress was not a good move for this,” She grumbled quietly again and Calum doesn’t even reply. Instead, he started walking even faster, “Calum! Slow down!”
She was pulled into a lane by Calum by the time she had finished that sentence, his hands on either side of her arms holding her in place. His broad shoulders are obstructing her from being able to see out of the small alleyway but before she could ask why he did that, he’s shushing her quietly and whispering, “Saw the paps. They saw me, too. It’s time.”
God, he made it sound so dramatic. It wasn’t like they were fighting off any evil spirit or villain, all they had to do was get caught kissing by the paps. It didn’t seem like it was going to be a particularly difficult job, just one they had to execute properly, and right now everything was going pretty smoothly. They just had to make sure that it looked authentic and like they actually wanted to do it.  
He let out a breath he was holding as he looked down at her, asking her silently for permission to start as his fingers went around the back of her neck, thumb resting on her cheek. She nodded her head and he began to lean in, y/n standing on her tip-toes with her arms splayed over Calum’s shoulders woth him bending down and pressing his lips on hers.
They kissed for several moments, taking little breaks in between. No tongue was a rule they had decided on so instead they stuck to closed mouth. On the last peck shared between the two of them, Calum gently pulled away, y/n’s bottom lip trapped between his lips before her feet hit the ground, their lips now completely disconnected.
She, discretely, tried to peek around Calum to see the paps, but couldn’t, so instead, they stayed in that position for a little while longer. Her eyes glanced up at Calum, seeing him still staring down at her, she whispered, “What?”
“Nothing,” He dismissed, shaking his head hesitantly before he took a small step back before putting his hand out for y/n to grab onto. She shot him a smile as she laced their fingers together, tugging him along and out of the alley.
The games had begun.
  It’s only about a week later when y/n was doing her washing as normal in some hotel’s launderette. She had been off of social media for the past few days, paying no mind to the several thousand people talking about her and Calum's 'relationship’. It surely had blown up, and some might say more than they had expected it to. Y/n had accumulated thousands of more followers after the whole fiasco and although she wouldn’t admit it, she enjoyed seeing the fan theories.
Calum had actually been a lot nicer to her recently, something she hadn’t expected, but enjoyed very much. A smile is on her face as she thought about the lack of pranks that he had been playing on her, and sure, he was still irritating her but it was simply with his words. He walked her down to the launderette, before turning to get his own load of dark clothes.
Surprisingly, despite having rather heavy music, y/n owned quite a lot of white clothes. Sure, she mostly wore black, but right now she was washing her white clothes. Well, what were her white clothes...
Now? They’re pink.
She took the wet fabric out of the washer, noticing one of her favorite white dresses is now dyed an ugly pink, one that she knows she won’t pull off. Her eyebrows are furrowed, a frown settling on her face as she tried to pull the clothes out, trying to find the root cause of the problem.
That’s when she found it. A red sock; Calum’s red sock.
Suddenly everything seemed to make sense as to why he was being so nice to her; so he could pull another prank on her when she least expected it. That’s why he had waited behind once she left the launderette, that’s why he seemed so interested in her white, now pink, clothes that she apparently ‘hadn’t washed in a while and should definitely wash’. 
“Calum!” She screamed out in anger, glad for the lack of other people in the small room, clenching her fists around the wet, pink clothes in her hand. They’re all ruined, inconsistent blotches of different shades of pinks coating the fabrics.
It was only seconds later when Calum popped his head up in confusion, “Yeah?”
Except, Y/n didn’t reply, and instead trained her e/c eyes onto his brown ones with a firm glare, one filled with frustration and anger. He, however, hadn’t seen her glare just yet as he surveyed the room before he catches onto her crouched-down figure. She watched as they trailed down to the pink clothes in her hand and he struggles to fight a grin off of his face.
“Thought you were doin’ a white load, y/n/n?” His voice had snide amusement in it and it only made y/n even madder.
However, before she replied, she grabbed onto the red sock of his and threw it at his head, letting out a complaint that sounds more like a whine, “You’ve ruined my favorite dress, asshole!”
“Woah calm down sweetheart, don’t be rude to your boyfriend,” Calum teased, walking around to where y/n was sat, reaching down to ruffle her hair. She quickly swatted his hand away with a grumble.
“Fake. Fake boyfriend, Hood.”
Calum simply rolled his eyes in reply, waving her off, “Yeah, yeah whatever. Enjoy your pink clothes.”
     It was only a week later when management is rushing them to take nice pictures together and becoming Instagram official. Theories are still burning in the air, especially after they were ‘caught’ by paps, kissing, for a second time. Everyone knew something was going on, that much was obvious, but they wanted to hear it from them.
They snapped pictures off stage, the last one being of Calum’s arm over y/n’s shoulder, holding her close to his body with her lips placed on his cheek. Her eyes are closed upon instruction, and he has a bright smile on his face, looking straight at the camera. The photos they snapped were quickly looked over before they’re approved to post on Instagram.
Y/n doesn’t know what to say, and in fact, she’s finding it hard to breathe. It was only fifteen minutes before she had to go on stage for their next concert, and this was the most nervous she had felt in ages. What if she gets hate? What if the whole fandom hated her? She knew that most likely some fangirls would be jealous, that was perfectly understandable, she just hoped no one went far enough to send her tons of hate; especially considering it was fake.
Y/n didn’t like this situation any more than they did but there was nothing she could do about it. Watching over Calum’s shoulder, she saw him press post, and she felt like she couldn’t even breathe. She felt like the air was being restricted from her lungs, and she can’t even bring herself to opening her phone to see people freaking out over the announcement of their ‘relationship’.
“Well, that’s that.” Calum looked at her over his shoulder, letting out a soft sigh as his brown eyes wrack over her face. She’s pale, and she didn’t even seem to hear his as he talked, making his eyebrows furrow in confusion, “Y/n? You good there?”
“Yeah, yeah, I’m fine,” She dismissed quickly, taking a step away from him, wringing her hands awkwardly. She’s nodding her head, but her eyes are firmly set on the ground now and Calum knows that she’s nervous. Sure, the two weren’t close and Calum took enjoyment in annoying her, but he was surprisingly good at telling how she was feeling simply from her body movements.
He hesitated, lips parting as he thought of what to say as he stared at the smaller girl who looked like she wanted the ground to swallow her whole, but after a few moments, his lips snapped shut. He wasn’t good at consoling, especially not her. And even if he did want to try, what could he possibly say?
This situation wasn’t ideal for her. Sure, it got her publicity, but he knew it wasn’t the type that she wanted. She hadn’t been fully introduced to the famous lifestyle yet, articles written about her, fan accounts, everything so he knew this was going to be hard for her. It took him a while to adjust to the lifestyle, and sure things like paps were still uncomfortable but they weren’t scary anymore.
As he stared at her, a frown prominent on his lips, he studied her. He noticed how awkward and uncomfortable she had become from the moment that he had posted the photo, almost as if she was awaiting an attack. He knew it was scary, the paps, the fangirls, and he also knew that this abrupt change in lifestyle from this moment on was going to be difficult for her; so he would make it easier.
He would answer the questions, take the heat about the relationship. He would protect her from all of the nasty comments as best as he could because no one deserved to be flung into the lifestyle like she was being right now, despite wanting publicity. This was a whole new life starting for her from the moment he posted the picture and as he nodded his head discretely, it was like a deal had been sealed with himself.
He was going to help her through this, even if she still hated him.
      It was three hours after the show had taken place and she still hadn’t turned her phone back on yet. She felt sick to her stomach, staring at her phone almost as if it was taunting her; itching for her to open Instagram but at the same time, wanting her to stay far, far away from the app.
Yet, soon enough she found herself booting up her phone and going onto Instagram, almost immediately finding Calum’s photo. She clicked on the comments and was pleasantly surprised. People were actually being supportive.
“omg look at them!!!”
“THEY LOOK SO GOOD TOGETHER WTF”
“I want someone to look at me the way Cal looks at Y/n”
That last one made her smile. She knew exactly what picture they were referencing. The one where y/n has her back to the camera in Calum’s embrace, and he’s staring down at her with a smile, arms wrapped around her, pulling her flush against his chest. She remembered her face buried deep into Calum’s shirt, surprised that the makeup she was wearing didn’t rub off on the material.
She was subconsciously shaking her head as she pulled her knees to her chest, resting her chin on top of them. She flicked back up to the pictures, almost analyzing the way Calum stared down at her. The fan was right, Calum looked at her with so much “love” in his eyes, a look that y/n had never seen on Calum before.
It was crazy. If y/n didn’t know any better she would think that Calum actually was in love with her but the only thing he loved about her, was how annoyed he could get her. Calum was certainly a good actor, looking at her like she was the sun and he was the revolving planets; like the only girl in the entire universe. Well, at least if Calum got bored of music he could go into acting.
They already had everyone fooled, and they were just getting started...

Pidge & Lance friendship/sibling dynamic headcanons?
hi! thank you sm for asking this!! i didn't think I'd be able to come up with anything but it was surprisingly super fun to do, I really liked writing this. I'm sorry it took so long to get out tho, I've had to spend like 90% of my time on the yearbook recently and i couldnt really do much else :/. but the yearbook is now finished and so is this hc list! i hope you enjoy it :)
let us begin 
Lance and Pidge! 
they didn't actually become friends until after the whole voltron debacle started 
we saw that lance had tried to befriend pidge back at the garrison, but (obviously) she had never been interested
like, at all 
so lance just kind of assumed she didn't like him and gave up after a while 
they're mostly, like, acquaintances, for the first few weeks of joining voltron - it takes pidge a little while to warm up to lance bc she thinks he's just an annoying party-boy, and lance thinks pidge is kind of full of herself
once they realise how much they have in common, though… 
all hell breaks loose. more or less. 
they play a lot of video games together
at first they only have killbot phantasm one, so they give themselves new rules and "multitask levels" to make it more interesting after they both inevitably master the game 
this usually involves having to defeat levels by themselves while the other person throws things at them 
the two of them also make sure to spend at least an hour every space mall-visit searching for new games, and pidge likes to code things for them to play when they run out  
lance has a list of nicknames for all of their teammates, but he makes a point to have some variety in his pidge names for the different occasions that he uses them in 
this list includes but is not limited to: pidgey/pidgeon (self explanatory), pea (short joke and green joke wrapped in one), birdie (for when he's trying to be nice), and stripe (after the evil gremlin in the movie gremlins)
pidge isn't a big fan of music, but she hates to work in silence, so lance will come hang out with her while she works and just talk about whatever
she doesn't fully listen most of the time, but lance doesn't mind because he never really talks about anything important 
their other teammates aren't exactly used to this dynamic, tho 
keith, staring at lance as he explains in detail the "sith lord jar jar binks" theory: how do you… focus? with him doing this? 
pidge: it's kinda like a white noise machine. I just tune him out
lance: first of all, racist, second of all- 
pidge also uses lance as her main source of ideas for low-stakes projects to work on on the side 
she even lets him help her make them, a privilege gifted to absolutely no one else (except hunk, but lance maintains that he doesn't count bc he's an engineer and makes stuff anyways) 
so far, they have made a (semi) functioning hoverboard, lightsabers (they can't hurt people, tho, much to pidge's disappointment), and a grappling hook
their most recent project is trying to figure out how to recreate spider-man's web shooters 
lance: i need to be spider-man, pidge. i was born to be spider-man. i can feel it. 
pidge: y'know lance that's actually super interesting, because I distinctly remember that spider-man actually made his own web shooters, he didn't just sit on the counter and watch as his friend did all the work 
lance: …
pidge's laptop has a bunch of kinds of entertainment downloaded onto it - music, movies, like three tv shows - and once lance learns this he refuses to let it go until he gets her to agree to watch something with him
one of the shows she has just so happens to be criminal minds. lance clings to this like his life depends on it 
lance, over comms: hey baby girl i need you to work me some magic 
pidge, trying to hack into a galra base: leandro martin mcclain I swear to god I am going to release your location to every sentry on this ship and I am going to watch them kill you over these security cameras and I am going to laugh 
needless to say, they make fun of eachother a lot 
every day. about everything. 
lance, dropping a spoon on the floor at breakfast: :/
pidge: lmao look at you. outstanding coordination. they really should've taught you how to juggle at clown school 
lance: first of all fuck you, second of all it was called performer's camp and i bet they wouldn't even let you in
in true sibling fashion, they never let eachother forget anything embarrassing. no matter what. 
pidge: (is quiet for more than three minutes) 
lance: hey remember that time at the garrison when a pretty girl asked if she could borrow a pencil and you panicked and said you didn't have any because you can't spell
pidge: I'm telling shiro on you that was one time- 
however, despite all of their teasing, they really do care about each other a lot
pidge is the first to hug lance when he steps out of the healing pods, and lance will bend over backwards to cheer pidge up on a bad day 
sometimes literally. never tell your found family siblings that you're a trained acrobat, kids.
lance organises little sleepovers with allura for days when pidge is feeling particularly dysphoric, so they can do traditionally "girly" things like paint their nails and put on makeup 
pidge doesn't usually do that sort of thing on a regular day, so it's kind of like a nice reminder that she's allowed to be feminine if she wants to be
originally a rule of these sleepovers was that everyone had to do one thing that pidge asked for before the night ended, but they had to scrap that rule after… complications, in one of lance's dares 
(in defense of allura, it had been over 10,000 years since she had her ears pierced, and it's not like she could see what the (professional) beautician was doing at the time, so really the fact lance ended up in a healing pod with an ear infection wasn't even her fault. the piercings do suit him, tho, so she maintains she did a very good job regardless)
the three of them usually end up cuddling in a little pile when they finally go to sleep 
lance has a sixth sense about knowing which bodily function pidge is neglecting at any given time 
he calls it his Big Brother Eye, and only realised he had inadvertently made a book reference when shiro praised him for his culture 
lance: big brother sees everything, pidgeon
shiro: oh, you've read 1984, lance? 
lance: um. is that like an album or something. 
anyways, lance tends to make frequent stops to pidge's room and/or lab to remind her to eat, drink, sleep, etc. sometimes all three at once but only in emergencies. 
pidge rarely actually wants to take a break, tho, so lance channels his best "my sister had kids when i was ten and i have been bargaining with small children for almost a decade" voice to convince her to leave 
lance: okay birdie, i know the coffee tastes good, but y'know what would taste even better? a sandwich. maybe even some ice cream. you feel like ice cream today kiddo? 
pidge, hopped up on three days of no sleep and expired space coffee coran thought it would be safe to give her: (stares directly into lance's eyes) where are you
lance and pidge both get the most homesick out of the team, so sometimes they'll just chill together in silence for a while. lance reminds pidge of her brother, and pidge reminds lance of one of his sisters, so their company is like an extra bit of comfort. they help each other a lot when it gets really difficult 
my askbox is still very much open for requests, btw, so if anyone has any ideas feel free to send them in!

Lord Huron Timeline Masterpost
Disclaimer: A lot of this information is speculation and consists of a lot of theories. Feel free to take things with a grain of salt.
Lonesome Dreams: 
Setting: 19th century Wild West (some theories suggested could be the Middle East in the mid-20th century) 
Characters:
Huron (main character)
Blaquefut (Huron’s best friend)
Helena (Huron’s girlfriend)
nameless Helena’s Ex (we're gonna call him Sonny for convenience)
Story: (I’m sure that most of the songs are in chronological order from the album but a few of them I believe are flashbacks so I had to move them around.)
She lit a fire/one of the best love songs ever written: The story goes earlier in the timeline technically, as it’s flashing back to how Huron met Helena. This is how the pair met. She lit his fire to travel the world or something.
Ends of the earth: early on in Huron and Helena‘s relationship. He wants to travel the world but she doesn’t so they’re kinda like “let’s split up for a bit”
Setting sun/the most mindfucking song (yes this bonus track is played at the end of the song, but hear me out ): Sonny has noticed that Helena has found someone else. They both know that Huron is better for her, but Sonny’s still pissed so he goes full yandere and chases after Huron. This story was put at the end and made “unfinished” because Sonny will always have a vendetta while Huron’s alive.
Time to run: Huron and friends are being chased by Sonny’s goons. Blaqufut gets shot in the head while helping Huron escape.
lonesome dreams: now this is a bit of a stretch, but from this theory, LD is basically purgatory and Huron travels to it to rescue Blaqufut from death.
Ghost on the shore/best song: nothing too significant to the story, it’s just Huron talking about how he misses home/the Great Lakes
I will be back one day: again, nothing much, just Huron reminiscing over Helena in pursuit to find her.
Man who lives forever: again nothing too significant, just Huron not wanting to die.
Brother: this is possibly the aftermath of an altercation between Huron and Blaqufut that they resolve. It pretty much just reaffirms their friendship.
In the wind: this one actually occurs while Huron is still on the run but from Helena’s perspective. It’s basically her reminiscing over him. I think they put this one at the end because it’s spiritually the end of the album, as it discusses how long distances and death can stop love.
Lullaby: Huron finally makes it back to Helena. He’s a complete wreck but Helena’s just happy he’s back
Sidenotes: Lonesome dreams are a collection of stories from Jorge Ranger Johnson, a writer character that Ben made up. Because of this, some of lonesome dreams might not actually be real within the universe of Lord Huron. Or they might be real events and just happened to be written about by an author. 
Alternate theories suggest that Setting sun was actually about Huron the entire time and it did take place at the end of the album, causing Helena to find someone else and Huron to becoming a murderer. 
One last important thing, because these are stories and might not actually occur within the universe of Lord Huron, it is possible that there is no afterlife, as suggested in later albums.
Strange Trails: 
Setting:
1950s, somewhere in America.
George’s: A bar that several characters tend to spend time at (probably in reference to George Ranger Johnson)
Characters:
Frankie Lou: washed up singer who presumably had a failed romance that fucked up bad. Probably an alcoholic. Sings at George’s
Cobb Avery: zombie brought back to life out of vengeance. His family was killed because his boss gave him a piece of land on a sinkhole. leader of the “World Enders” gang. Basically a bunch of terrorists. Kills everyone from the company that sold him the house. Hangs out at George’s
Jonnie: member of the world Enders. Kind of trigger-happy in a thrill seeker. Probably one of the less malicious members of the group. Probably 19.
Buck Vernon: I also think another washed-up singer. What’s important though is that he suffers from hallucinations and is desperately trying to find the girl of his dreams.
Lily: some girl that every guy in town has the hots for. Hangs out at George’s
Jim: Lily's boyfriend. Hangs out at George’s.
Danielle: Young girl. The only child character, I’d say 11-14. Best character. You’re never too young to have an existential crisis.
Justine: not really important, presumably a writer.
Louisa: some random girl (Assuming that this theory is true, she might also be a witch and might’ve started out as an asshole, might also hang out at George’s)
There’s also some other guy but he was part of one song and it wasn’t significant so disregard him.
Story:
Love like ghosts: this is Frankie reminiscing over her failed relationship
When the night ends: Jonnie talking about appreciating the finer things in life while everything’s going to shit
Dead man’s hand/also best song: buck finds Avery presumably dead while wandering the desert. He buries him only to find out that Avery is still alive. Avery says that there’s no afterlife for him and he doesn’t want to go back in the grave. The pair become friends and go their separate ways.
Hurricane: just Johnny talking about living life on the edge
La belle fleur sauvage/the beautiful wildflower: just the lead singer gushing over Lily. The guy singing this only shows up in this song, but it’s just meant to establish that everyone has the hots for Lilly. The song could also be talking about Buck in his pursuit.
Fool for love: Buck goes to George’s to win over Lily, but Jim is already with her. Being delusional, buck tries to take on Jim (in the music video he gets Avery to fight him), he trashed the place and because of this is kicked out. He’s pretty optimistic but after this, he feels kind of defeated. (*Post-Rejection Depression Time*)
World ender: focuses on Avery‘s story. Follows him as he seeks vengeance and kills the people from the company that sold him the shitty house.
Meet me in the Woods: more of Frankie reminiscing over her failed romance
Yawning grave: (OK so this is the first big roadblock in the story, so the character that this song is about is very much left up to interpretation) I assume Avery has kind of calmed down But still intends to pursue the people that have wronged him.
Frozen Pines: (disappointingly) The only song about Danielle. Her parents were abducted by aliens in front of her. She is sort of in denial and refuses to leave where she is in the middle of the forest out of the delusion that they’ll come back. The song ends with her realizing that she has to move on as she attempts to leave the forest. (also, frozen Pines is the name of the motel so it could also just be that maybe Danielle is stuck at a motel which would honestly be kind of funny.)
Cursed/best love song ever written: Buck has found himself a new girl. However, due to previous failed romantic endeavors and hallucinations, he thinks that she’s an asshole trying to put a curse on him. (The song is presumably about Louisa. It’s entirely possible that Louisa was being manipulative but they sort things out)
Way out there: (The most difficult song to figure out) presumably about Avery. I can only best describe it as him having an existential crisis and him missing his dead family.
Louisa: after Buck was tempted to kick bricks, Louisa helped him out and gave him a newfound appreciation for life. Now they’re happy =]
Night we met: last song of Frankie reminiscing over her ex. Also, the lyric video confirms that Buck & Louisa either broke up or she was just a figment of his imagination, so uh, ya. Hopefully you weren't as emotionally invested in these characters as much as I was because that tore me a new one.
Sidenotes: this album definitely had the most interpretations. The biggest issues are the stories of yawning grave and way out there, as I am unsure that it is even about Avery. The real issue tho is the lack of songs about Danielle. Ben Come On!
There are also a couple connections between this album and the next
Vide Noir: 
Setting: 1960s. Detroit & Los Angeles. 
Background info: A drug called vide noir has recently been legalized. It’s basically just a hallucinogenic that destroys the fabric of reality, good times.
Characters:
Buck Vernon: Christ Ben just can’t seem to give this guy a break.
Lee Green: Buck’s new girl. Probably wants to be an actress or something.
Lady moonbeam: A medium/psychic. I think she’s black but it’s hard to tell because of the lighting.
Cobb Avery: Best Boy Electrician on “Products of the Universe” TV show. (only mentioned in 1 song)
Marsha Tanley & Dale Frander: “Products of the Universe” host; guy selling vide & its derivatives. (not in the songs)
Story:
Lost in time and space: Buck is upset because Lee left. He decides to chase after her nonetheless.
Never ever: Buck's spirits are lifted as he heads out to find Lee.
Ancient names: Buck goes to Lady Moonbeam For advice but she sees into the future and sees that Buck will become a drug addict. He’s in denial but she knows otherwise.
Wait by the river: just Buck talking about how you would do anything for Lee. Also reveals the potential of an altercation between the two of them, presumably the two of them having a fight before she left.
Secret of life: (OK this one’s a little hard, the singer is clearly Buck, but it’s hard to tell if he’s confronting either Lee or lady moonbeam) either way, whoever he is confronting has allegedly made a pact with Avery that will cause something bad to happen to Buck. Because of this, he downs a bottle of fukitol/vide noir.
Back from the edge: the MF dies but comes back (where have we seen that before)
Balancer's eye: Buck runs into God and is denied access to heaven. Either because he wasn’t supposed to die or maybe people who take drugs aren’t allowed in. Or God has really high standards and no one‘s allowed in (again, weird knowing that Blaqufut experienced purgatory and Avery said there’s no heaven at all)
When the night is over: realizing the effect of VN, Buck is becoming worried for Lee that she might overdose if he doesn’t find her soon enough
Moonbeam: Like with Louisa, Buck ran into a girl that saved him from a bad place. Hard to tell if it’s Lee (it likely isn’t because of later in the story)  or lady moonbeam.
Vide Noir: Buck talking about the effects of the drug.
Emerald star/The most depressing song ever written: after doing everything he can and fucking dying, Buck finally finds Lee but he is turned down as she would rather be a junkie. It’s also possible that she might die or be dying, judging by the fact that the second half of this song is just instrumental followed by a sudden halt at the end. {Yay, I get to experience “close to you” all over again}
Sidenotes: George ranger Johnson is a spiritual advisor for the show that Avery works on.
The events of the film are claimed to come at the end/after the album.
--------------------------------
All information was aggregated from the albums, interviews with Ben, music videos, articles about the film, Products of the Universe, & whatever else I could scavenge from LH’s YouTube channel.
I’d also like to give a huge thanks to the fanbase for their theories and research. It really helped out a lot piecing this all together. I had a lot of fun discussing this with fellow Wanderers and Enders and really appreciate being a part of this fanbase.
If you have any alternative theories, timelines, etc, be sure to mention them. A huge chunk of this info will probably become obsolete when the film/next album comes along so enjoy this while we can still be optimistic.
Dear Balancer help us.

Hskdkkskwofkk aight here i go bitch
Kayn-
Tumblr media
He has many memories, especially from Black Swan, even if they're still sad lookin back @ em. But looking back, if he could choose any memory, he'd definetly describe a lil scene when he was extremely young, like somethin like 6/7 y/o.
Since he's always been really acceptin n empathetic he would've tried to help some of those lil foxes ya see in game, so just, playin in the snow w them, careless n just havin the best time, though there's really noone he knew, rather than just,him being primarly alone, which Is kinda strange cuz he likes bein round ppl, but for him it's oddly reassurin.
But any other memory w the gang/ruri Is still really dear to him.
Rui-
Tumblr media
Hamjsjsk honestly y'know that i intended for em to have a love interest? Now It's kinda not there, I mean I can totally see a platonic relationships w Lyva honestly, but at the moment they don't have any type of romantic feeling to really anyone. At least at the moment 🚶‍♀️
Shou-
Tumblr media
I have...the worst fuckin musical taste.🧍Ahkdkskwkk honestly both self projectin n bein right, he'd like (Bottom) cover by dongdang n fuckin Honey I'm home by GHOST as his guilty pleasures don't TELL ME HE WOULDN'T HE WOULD😍
Hwkdkskk but anythin traditionally would go well really. He hates rap tho.
Lyva-
Tumblr media
Ahkdkdwhjskdo idk what to say bout her that wasn't already said tbh😭😭 Like if I'd say somethin for her It would probably be her motivation to do anythin in her power?? Idk what else, every character Is gonna get development later on, so If anythin they'd all be changed😩
Naexi-
Tumblr media
Oh yeah.
If anything they're probably the most skeptical about everyone, especially doin it throughout some kind of proves, really similar to what Shou did initially w Lyva n Rui, but like, even more subdule. Like with Shou's case it's different because now he relies on Qirian, but Naexi doesn't do It to really anyone.
Even later on really little changes on how she views their adventure companions. They don't see them as people as worthy as her life, if not for some details she sees that could be useful to em.
Qiran-
Tumblr media
Honestly idk what to talk bout honestly. Like if anythin there's nothin more to add rather than what happened to their friends but i'd rather not go into It.
Oh, mabye a lil bit bout their aibility, since i did mention It like once n then didn't.
They basically have a connection through water, mainly comin because of their parents linaege, as they were a well-known family of mages. Their mother is one, though their father ain't, and that's also the reason they ain't a mage itself, though mantainin some kind of control over magic.
Their older other sister (but they have many other sibling) Is a mage n didn't really want to approve em goin round, and scholded em when they heard bout the Shou thingy(but they didn't know bout him bein a demon, more of "tf you doin at this dudes house" thing).
Idk of it's either them or Evelyns lil sis i wanna introduce tbh, I'll eventually see.
Syndra-
Tumblr media
I'm currently rethinkin bout some aspects of her, but the thing Is that One thing still remains, that bein her motivation to desperatly reach anything she'd aimed for. It would do anything and doesn't care about the consequences,even if they're as bloody or as gorey, as she is thecnically on the Gray area, but like a bit darker.
Her headspace Is mainly a mess, that would make her do and had done many awful shit, even to humans. She doesn't know nor understand fully what any of the emotions It is feelin work, so for her, it's like a nightmare most of the time.
The only time she's really at ease it's when her friends are around that don't make her feel certain stuff that I'll talk bout another time.
Evelyn-
Tumblr media
For him It's a big "Do shit, fuck 'round" situation, even in the gang. So if anythin they're gray, but slightly leadin into the white area, cuz she isn't as ruthless as Naexi or Shou are tbh (cuz yes fun fact Shou's also leadin like Naexi does), n would rather avoid any worthless death. But they would still make fun of ppl gettin in her way in fights n wouldn't feel too bad bout It.

idk anything about the grace period for deltarune u can just keep this ask in the attic until that’s over.. anyway.. i really liked chap 2 i played it in one sitting 😭 the rpg combat is enjoyable enough and just the right amount more complex than the undertale combat is, although not very difficult. very touching power of friendship moments minus that fucking bird man. some of the dialogue felt quite fandom tropey and surface-level, and queen’s lines (love her tho) were hit or miss for me. i think the biggest frustration i have with it is all the useless random encounter characters clogging up your world 😞😞 there’s only so many wacky one-liners toby can give them and i am not invested enough to care! also some of those designs are uglie!! there are better ways to make a world feel real and lived in. same thing happened with undertale.
BUT it was a great time! i liked the juxtaposition between the ultimately harmless antics and charming banter with the gang and queen, and the more sinister plot going on in the background. most obviously in the ending. toriel and susie making a pie while kris RIPS OUT THEIR SOUL….spoiler warning.. did u see the theory that the soul aka red heart is you the player operating kris the vessel? i’m definitely not a theorist but i like seeing all the loose plot ends i’m having a good time. i love noelleeeeee 💞💞💞💞and i liked susie a lot more this chapter. when ralsei taught her a healing spell 😖😖 i still don’t really care about ralsei though 😓
special shoutout to the spinning teacups ☕️☕️☕️ and special NOT-shoutout to the mice games with the rotating blocks i never understood how to do that.
it was a very feel-good game. it made me feel good. standards for video game passed. what did u think tho!! i mean i assume u liked it but for the same reasons? different ones? feel free to respond with an excruciatingly long essay of ur own <3 we are back to the tt anon blocks of text i restrained myself for a bit but we are back -tt
hiii tt anon <3 back at it again with the asks that i am looking forward to answering. if i post this a little before the 48 hours i will be forgiven bc i will use the deltarune spoilers tag and also the long post tag LMAOO anyway anyway oh btw never refrain urself from sending blocks of text if my followers are mad even though i tag them long post that's ON THEM. everything u say is worth listening to & same for everything i say so that's my final stance on this 😌
i also played it in one sitting it was so GOOD. i don't care that it was 2 am here when it was released i wasss ecstatic and the game was so fucking GOOD tonby the fox delivered!! it was so so worth the wait! the music was so much better than in chapter 1 imo, like... my castle town? the cyber fields theme? the queen's fight? spamton g spamton??? rouxls' "fight"?? BANGERS. i only see bangers. the new gameplay mechanics were also very fun!! i for one kinda struggled with the mice puzzles but not nearly as much as that one section with the traffic jams where you have to go down and back up or whatever. what the hell was that? i'm surprised i actually got past it. i loved the parts in cyber field though where you had to move on beat with the music that was sooo fun!! more of that! i prefer the fighting system in undertale ngl but it's mostly bc the undertale bosses are... just so good. the one boss who rivalises for now to me is queen, although rouxls is also very fun.
as for the story itself... i liked it :) susie & noelle are fucking ADORABLE. i think they deserve to be happy forever like not even together just individually as characters they're the fucking best. susie's grown so much that's my girl... wough... ralsei i do like but... i don't trust him :D i don't think he's evil but he knows too much and tells us too little until he can't keep it for himself and i don't like that. like bro you're gonna get us in trouble stop. but ALSO some ppl speculate that himself is being misled and that the fountains wouldn't bring the roaring, which is an interesting theory. (also i miss lancer being more relevant)
uhh kris is... well... kris... :)... yeah i did hear about that theory i'm in a discord server where ppl have been going on and on about theories since the game dropped LMAOO we're all insane. um. my personal theory is that there's another knight, or that kris is at least also influenced by an "evil force" or whatever, and we're the good force influencing them bc otherwise they're just a normal albeit mischievous kid. and the stretch part is that uhhh there's two knight pieces on a chessboard, ik this isn't about chess at all but king of spades does tell you at the end of chapter 2 that you'll meet a more powerful foe = the queen, coincidentally in chess the queen is stronger than the king. hmmmmmmmmmmm. lmao i don't think my parallel here is right but it's fun to think about anyway
did you see the superboss? i didn't fight him myself but he's so fun. also @ everyone who said he's gonna be a tumblr sexyman i hate that you're right shut that shit down HJKSNFKJSDHG. also did you see the secret fucked up pipis route? it's horrible. genuinely... i watched a streamer play it and 😳 uh. well i didn't even hate berdly before anyway yeah he's annoying but like he's a snot-beaked kid i'm not gonna wish him... whatever happens in this route. legit scarring. and poor noelle... pffbbgtbg. hate this so much. but i think it was done so bad and horrible on purpose, with how specific your gameplay has to be for you to be able to complete it tonby really was like "you wanna be an asshole? undertale wasn't enough? fine. work for it. and also suffer" nskjshf. i'm never doing it <3
lastly FUCKING QUEEN!!!!!!! QUEEN MY LOVE!!!!! BEST CHARACTER. i love her sosososo much it's unreal. and i didn't mind any character designs much, i'm not too complicated in that regard shfkjsdfh i love the tasques and tasque manager though :) also the... idk their names... the butler dudes? they're so cute. swatch's design is neat
so those are my thoughts <3 can't wait to hear more from u!!!
