Smerdyakov: 1,2,3 and 12 (for the character ask thingy)

(character ask game!)

AHHH SMERDYAKOV MY BELOVED THANK U 4 ENABLING ME TO RANT ABT HIM.

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

oh man WHERE TO FUCKING BEGIN. he!! he's such a smug little shitlord and it's one of my favorite dosto psychological archetypes, a character who feels so different from everyone else & so isolated that they end up feeling better than everyone (e.g. smarter, like smerd's bit about the creation myth) while also worse than everyone (e.g. smerd's deep insecurity about his social standing esp compared to his brothers, idolizing ivan). he's just the Are you tired of being nice? Don't you just want to go ape shitt? meme a little bit. also he's just a weird little control freak. i love my lil bouillon boy.

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

FAVORITE is hard omg. i really love that he plays guitar and sings in falsetto........ he's just a little guy!!! and the line. the fucking line. "I exterminate my life by my own will and inclination, in order to blame no one." what a raw fucking line. and such a concise statement of pavel as a character, who spends the entire novel fighting to exercise his free will and establish his agency as a human being in the eyes of everyone around him through any means possible, and then he only finally gets the power he wants so badly by weaponizing the societal perceptions of him he hates so much (at first fyodor pavlovich only gives half a fuck about him when he starts having fits, then later on he gets away with murder by affirming their views of him as epileptic/weak, stupid, cowardly, "just a lackey", etc etc ive ranted abt this before). smerdyakov get behind me. he did nothing wrong

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

i mean. it's gotta be the killing small animals as a child right. like we can agree on that. that's not cool baby pavel. (to be fair though. it's also interesting symbolically as a reflection of his power struggle throughout his lifetime—even as a kid he was looking for creatures with even less power than he so he could feel like he was in control of something for once, which then turned to obsession over food, arguing with his father/master, murder, etc. Wish he didn't have to kill cats about it though !)

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

oooooo hmmmmm. this probably doesn't count as a headcanon but i do want him and katya to talk shit about ivan just once. i just KNOW they'd get his ass. also not to be predictable but i absolutely hc him as gay and not even in the im just making everyone gay bc i am way, in a 100% serious this-is-a-valid-interpretation-of-the-text way. i just think his utter lack of interest in women, alienation from society, insecurity about being Born Wrong, distaste for religion (esp. how illogical it is), etc is so very gaycoded. also that line about fyodor pavlovich offering to set him up with a girl to marry: "'Perhaps you ought to marry some girl, do you want me to find you one?' But this kind of talk would only make Smerdyakov turn pale with annoyance, and he would not reply." (tr. mcduff) like that was me on thanksgiving when my aunt asked if i had a boyfriend yet im sorry!!

#THANK U FOR THE ASK <3 THIS GOT SO MUCH LONGER THAN I MEANT FOR IT TO MY BADDDD #im just obsessed w him. every single aspect of his character is so symbolic and deep & this is why i love dosto &classics in general so muc #literally everything is so so intentional. and all the parallels he has with the other brothers make me BONKERS #okay rant over i might be late to class now oops #anonasks #tbk #the brothers karamazov #pavel smerdyakov #smerdyakov #idk what my tagging system is atp #anon ask game #i will do more in a bit......there are some RLY good ones in my inbox so far yall always send the best prompts muah

[c0rinarii]

Gonna recompile some thoughts about the 13SAR characters now that im past midpoint!

Juro: Oh its getting juicy.... unfortunately my boy is still as intresting as a plank of sheet wood but im intrested to see if his character goes anywhere outside of the Kyuta stuff going on. Im also sorry i ever suggested to u to make out with Kyuta.

Iori: SHE'S SO FUNNY.... I aspire to have even an inch of her whimsy and dedication to being so #normal. I too would like to confess to my weird as hell crush disregarding the fact he's a dangerous fugitive. Girl of All Time

Shuu: Frat bot facade is slowly starting to crumble and im here to see it. Uncover the truth, gayboy‼️

Megumi: I FEEL SO SORRY FOR U GIRL.... 😭 May you find peace in the future but its an overall shitty situation to be in. truly have her in my thoughts and prayers

Natsuno: I WAS SO HEARTBROKEN TO SEE HER WHIMSY FADE AWAY ONCE SHE FOUND OUT ABOUT THE TRUE NATURE OF THE KAIJU 😭😭 I love that she managed to maintain her optimism despite the awful situation she's been put in though. Still a joy to see pop up on the screen

Keitaro: HE REALLY IS A GOOD BOY... He's just trying his best and i love him for that. You'll save everyone you care about i promise [IMPERIALISM IS LYING TO U AND TAKATOSHI!! I SWEAR]

Takatoshi: Boys be fighting demons and demons is bisexuality. I enjoy him a Regular amount and i appreciate seeing his himboisms so much in the game. I never want to seem him That sad again [IMPERIALISM IS LYING TO U AND KEITARO!! I SWEAR]

Okino:

Yuki: MY PRINCE.... MY SHINING STUD‼️‼️ I love her a very normal ammount and seeing her slowly uncover the truth is nice to see. Definetily much smarter than she think she is.

Gouto: The fact that he is ong for real Ryoko's government assigned boyfriend is the funniest thing to come out of the game so far. He's still gated behind a huge completion milestone but so far i feel like he's trying to make sense of the situation the best he can. Unlike Tomi though, he's very scared of the circumstances of if he disobeys orders, i think.

Ryoko: She's been such a mood so far that i now think of her with her hands on her head when i stress about my uni deadlines. Im so sorry for Ida being anywhere near her life. She should get a wife to kiss and heal her. I give her full permission to kill anyone who breaks her heart. My snarky queen

Ei: HE ACTUALLY GREW ON ME I CANT BELIEVE IT. He really reminds me if the cool rivals with a soft spot you'd see in shonen anime and I cant be too mad at that. I enjoy how taciturn he can be too.

Nenji: HE'S ACTUALLY SUCH A SWEETHEART... knowing that he was childhood friends with Miwako really made me like him more (esp with how he treats her!) Loveable idiot.

Tomi: MY MUTUAL... OOMF IN ARMS... #GIRL IN LAW. Literally love how's she's written her personality is so so colorful. She has definitely said some out of pocket shit on twitter before and ill defend her with my life.

Miwako: I WILL WRITE YOU INTO RELEVANCY MYSELF‼️‼️There is so much oppurtunity to write her as one of the 15. LET THEM BE 16‼️‼️ HER "easy to develop crushes" SELF CAN BE MADE INTO SOMETHING MUCH BIGGER TO THE NARRATIVE RAUGHHH

Chihiro: I can see she's really trying her best to save everyone from the kaiju and seems to resort to any means neccesary to do so... i appreciate the effort despite the uh. [gestures] unethical treatment towards minors ig

Ida: EVERYTHING IS LITERALLY UR FAULT. I CANT BELIEVE IT. This would be half the disaster if you learnt how to sod it with ur selfish desires i swear.

Kyuta, Not-Tamao, 426, Izumi: I CLOCKED UR SHIT, SNEAKY BITCH. I dont trust a word you say. """"Means well"""" in the end i think but has way more messed up ways to go around it compared to Morimura

Miyuki: So far looking like the only person willing to help these kids in a way that would not give them severe trauma. Rooting for u girl.

[No thoughts on Tamao since i consider Erika as 426]

#im already at 70% rememberance but i forgot to post this when I was at like. 55%? #so might as well #this might be peak #13 sentinels #13 sentinels: aegis rim #13 sentinels spoilers #corr.txt #IORI TOMI AND MIWAKO ARE MY OOMFS BTW. I love them so much. girls of all time

SPEAKING OF SEASON FOUR

I'm so worried that the duffer brothers are gonna fuck up jancy. That flirting with Steve and Nancy in season four was not cute. Like jancy isn't my favorite ship in the series (because I'm in love with Jonathan but that's not the point) but we've established that Nancy DOESN'T love Steve. Did you see Jonathan's face when Nancy started talking about how Steve's grown up? You could tell it made him insecure, It's foreshadowing the love triangle all over again and there's no point in keeping it. It doesn't add to the story it's just another stupid plot for drama, which we don't really need!

It also takes away from Nancy's character!! She's not the kind of girl to just go from guy to guy. She's also not the kind of girl to flirt with her ex who's clearly still got feelings for her while she has a boyfriend!! Even if it was unintentional, like subconsciously, still she's smarter than that and she cares about Jonathan and Steve's feelings she wouldn't risk hurting the both of them at once.

I mean if we're talking about come home it could work as something for bug and Steve to work through I guess ( I don't wanna talk about it too much because it's so far away and there's a lot more we have to go through to get to that point) but it's so outside of Nancy's character. Maybe she's just confused cause she almost died and saw Steve get seriously hurt? But still Nancy isn't a homewrecker and she's not a super jealous or promiscuous person. Even if she didn't know about how close bug and Steve have grown she wouldn't go after him. But strictly speaking of stranger things now. She hardly interacted with Steve in season four, which is fair she's still in highschool and Steve has a job. They have their own shit going on. It's understandable. I feel like Nancy's character gets misconstrued a lot, partially because she keeps getting reduced to a love interest. I just hope Nancy and Jonathan don't fall apart because of how much they've changed during their time away. I love Steve but he's not right for Nancy and she's not right for Steve. I hope they Don't ruin such a great relationship with so much potential. Like I see the problems in jancy but I can see how well it could work if given the chance.

honestly it just feels like the writers dont KNOW what to do with nancy anymore or even jancy. i adore them and think theyre so sweet together but the writers are just ,,,, pissing me off. bringing back steves feelings for her and nancys weird feelings for him was just ??? unnecessary and NO ONE was asking for it

i will say however i do see the vision for stancy. i think they did have a good shot at being in love and happy, theyre right person wrong time, but if that was the plan since season 1 then ,,,, it shouldve been touched on earlier ?!?!!? we dont see nancys feelings for steve at ALL until season 4 like even WHILE THEY WERE DATING. its stupid. and like u said: nancy isnt like that !! she’d never directly hurt anyone :( shes so kind and loyal and the writers are mean

and jancy ,,, ugh they have sm potential if the writers would just figure them out. they keep having the same argument of jon wanting to care for his family and nancy wanting to uncover and explore shit its just. ugh.

for season 4 i will DEF be retconning some shit because yeah. im not dealing with a repeat love square that will be resolved literally THIS SEASON in season 2. feels so dumb to be so repetitive. i will however bring in some elements in that love triangle back in 4 but not in any definitive or dramatic way. smh

#ask #anon #m speaks #m rants technically #nancy wheeler i will defend u with my life

[joanyio]

everytime i rewatch aouad i still get a little bit annoyed at namra in the entire first half i know everyone likes her and she’s obviously written to be a fan favorite but she barely did shit until she found out she’s quite strong as a halfbie. to me she’s the classic *im not like the others i think y’all hate me so i hate y’all too im unfriendly because im better than everyone else but im actually nice if you pay attention or try to get close to me* character.. hmm idk if this makes sense but she’s so written for fans who love calling characters a bad bitch icon (not necessarily a bad thing but u get the vibe). the whole “you guys never treated me as your actual class president” shtick at the beginning was so silly instead of actually being helpful like baby you’re literally coming with them to save yourself at least be useful. also i dont remember what episode was that but there’s a whole conversation of them trying to find out what to do the whole night but she’d talk in circles in like a im-smarter-than-everyone-here tone with nothing to conclude in the end wasn’t cute at all. my biggest ick was when she saw nayeon do that to gyeongsu but stayed quiet until he died so she could pick a fight against her after like damn nayeon is more annoying sure i would excuse namra for that but she was already annoying me even before that so 😐 well she also grows on me everytime i rewatch i guess i can’t really say i don’t love her

anyway just so i don’t sound like a hater my fav characters are onjo, hari & mijin, and cheongsan. onjo was so good at split second emergency life-saving decisions, she first experienced the outbreak at the cafeteria and you get to see her initial shock, freeze stage but she was able to move quick and utilize things she sees around her for survival. the fire extinguisher, the phone, the fire hose reel, etc. she’d always given the most useful ideas too like yeahhhhh. i cried when she held onto isak til the very end, the editing for that part was so good the way they showed us their bff memories and the last flashback scene was them eating odeng as isak leaves the frame so onjo is left alone.. the emotions, the music, my heart… it’s even sadder when you know by the end of the season onjo would lose everyone she cared about the most, her best friend isak, her dad, and cheongsan 😭

idk how to end this long rant but here’s a pic of my fav girlfriends:

god damn it i cant wait for season 2 i heard cheongsan is alive (inhales gazillion kilograms of copium)

#all of us are dead #aouad #kdrama #rant

[sapphire-weapon]

WHAT?? I hate it. Even his new appearance im iffy on he just looks like somebody’s generic dad. Hopefully it grows on me because I’m so excited for SW

u asked a professional actor this question so now u will get a nerdy technical answer

i love dc douglas ok i love how much he loves wesker and RE in general, but the problem with his performance has always been that he's played wesker from a place of intrigue rather than a place of malice. he played wesker like a bond villain. he has a lilt to his voice every time he has a thoughtful/introspective line, as though he's basking in his own genius. and when he's scolding someone, he very much uses a "this is beneath me/don't disappoint me" tone that he would've had to curl his upper lip to do -- which is something you see in period pieces with haughty aristocrats and shit.

but wesker isn't a bond villain. he doesn't have the charisma.

wesker is a sociopathic mega nerd who is one of the foremost cellular biologists and virologists to have ever lived who, later in life, becomes so consumed by anger and hatred that he goes full scarface and gets too high on his own supply and becomes the architect of his own demise.

but because of the intrigue angle that dc douglas took up to that point, it was hard for him to sell wesker's moments of actual anger (to me, at least) because he uses his throat for those lines while also trying to push his air out through his nose in order to try to simultaneously maintain the timbre that he's been using for his character all along. it sounds forced to me every single time, because i know what he's doing and why.

wesker's current voice actor stays in his throat and doesn't move.

and that works a lot better for me, because the throat is where we express frustration and anger. unless you've been taught how to use your diaphragm, most people also shout from the throat.

so for wesker's voice to stay completely in the throat while keeping his tone completely level and calm comes off as really, really fucking menacing. it gives the feeling of a powderkeg waiting to explode, with no indication of what's going to set him off, because he always sounds like that.

that's who albert wesker is as a character.

wesker is petty and hateful and knows that he's smarter than every single motherfucker he's ever crossed paths with and is so fucking tired of idiots and charlatans coming out on top.

wesker's remake actor makes me afraid of him in the way that we should have always been afraid of him but never were because dc douglas tried to give him intrigue and charisma first and malice second.

👤🤧?

omg ty for the ask

👤 - Describe your current favorite character (including OCs)

rip im so sorry bc im already so excited.

my favorite character rn is L/ucifer (aka u/rushihara) from the d/evil is a part t/imer. im obsessed w him specifically. i was watching the anime and he came on and i was like oh no, cmon he cant really be my favorite but he just is.

he went from being an edgelord demon general who was previous ly the top archangel who fell j because he was bored and joined w the og satan and then joined with the current satan bc he was like i mean there was nothing else to do. over like 10,000 years old with absolutely zero aspirations other than playing pc games and eating snacks and online shopping. but also he does have some character growth but it's more subtle and hes just like so unserious and nobody respects him at all ToT

hes a little man with big wings. he got duped by some rando into spending crazy money on garbage and was like it's not my fault :( (( im socially awkward.

his whole thing is being a neet and exerting as little energy as possible for the most part but hes also one of the smarter characters for sure. like he does actually contribute to the group but it doesnt rlly up his respect or rep and then he usually evens it out by him doing something like ordering stupid shit they dont need while theyre trying to keep a roof over their heads.

he also has the most canon allergies ive seen in forever. an entire chap of the manga and a chap of the light novel and a 50 min DRAMA CD is dedicated to satan taking in a cat and saving it and l/ucifer sneezes the entire time. and theyre like stoooop being so loud!!! lmaoo T_T hes so cute and pathetic <3 i love him sm hes like basically a cat himself. but also during that chapter when the cat coughs up a hairball he prints out directions to the vet and is like dondt panig call a bro (pro). like ok. also he did try making a FOUND poster LMFAO.

something about him just resonates with me he has an unnaturally long life and just wants to live a chronically online life and i feel that. he gets picked up by the collar or scruff all the time and every time i see him i get like lkFLAEJKJRGJLKJ THERE HE IS!!!! yay!!!!!

🤧 - Do you prefer stoic characters or characters who complain?

both <3 like up until recently i was more for stoic characters or ones who will deny deny deny until theyre forced to admit theyre sick or yeah ok they are having an allergy attack. but i also think some complaining is hot. u/rushihara would def complain/has canonically been like cmon this really sucks u guys. D:< i think for me it's also about the dynamics between the characters and the situation/context. omg or a character who goes from im alright it's not bad to this suckkkss :(( and then starts making specific complaints and is all needy. damn. bye-

#snz #snasks

[mandyzoe]

waitttt youre so real for being a bully fan + orbit… if u associate that yeojin pic w lola which of the moon girls would u assign to the other girlies… :3c

HI SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG TO ANSWER i kinda fell off tumblr for a while i can’t lieee… but i love this question and i love you for asking it and it made my autism fire off on all cylinders so hope you don’t mind a response that is way longer than it has any right to be HEHE

im actually gonna take this ask in a different direction than you maybe originally meant it in so i apologize for that however i think my interpretations work best if i specifically use the loonaverse versions of the members because for 1 it just fits together a little better in my head if i connect these fictional characters to the fictionalized versions of these irl people, if that makes sense. and 2 im also just very autistic about the loonaverse. sorry

ok so despite the fact that i associate lola w that specific pic of yj, i find her more in line with yves, narratively speaking. because, well. yves is a fucking player. sneaking out to go on dates with vivi, stringing along chuu to make her partake of the fruit, recruiting her to convince gowon to do the same, fucking hyeju over, and THEN after hyeju had her little angry moment, yves just flashed her a smile and a wave to make her forgive her???? she has everyone wrapped around her finger. it’s crazy. two little baddie rulebreakers who WILL get what they want through love and/or war. love them

as for pinky, i debated on this one a bit. on one had there’s the undeniable rich girl swag of haseul. on the other, the princess-like charms of gowon were tempting. but ultimately? she’s a yeojin girl. her debut concept was so cute and quirky, but still with a distinct attitude to it that very much gives spoiled youngest and/or only child. she also has that same princess vibe, but a little more bright and youthful compared to gowon’s darker/more somber side of it. beyond debut, yeojin’s persona develops to lean more into that sassier vibe with the cuter aspects becoming more of an undertone which is very pinky to me

mandy… this one is flexible for me as well, between heejin or jinsoul. ppl usually say this about hyeju, but i actually think heej and soul have more “two sides of the same coin” qualities which kinda makes me wanna use them as a pair? like a duality if that makes sense. they’re both kinda morally ambiguous, heejin leaning more towards good and jinsoul more neutral/possibly evil, and also seem to have a lot more like. knowledge about the universe they’re in. like they’re very Aware of things and both attempt to exercise control over their surroundings a lot. jinsoul’s methods (allegedly!) are more Morally Questionable which is kinda where mandy leans, but i think the conflict between the two (as seen in not friends) can represent her change in how she views people and approaches relationships after… everything. they’re also both super gay

for beatrice i think maybe vivi? it’s mostly vibes based here. but vivi being an android is shown to be something that alienates her from her peers and makes her insecure in herself, despite the fact that she’s probably smarter and more talented than most if not all of them because of it. she still just wants to fit in and be a normal girl with friends who like her. later on, vivi’s android powers are shown to be more of an asset that can help her and her friends when they need it. i mean she literally piloted a space ship by herself for presumably several years to help them jump timelines or something. i think beatrice would appreciate that. plus, i think the edily concept can represent her more girly and romantic side. real yearner girl hours

now for zoe. hyeju. she’s hyeju. no debate really. they’re both initially characterized by their anger, having been hurt and betrayed and feeling really alone and isolated. hyeju is kinda viewed as a villain or a bad person because of her anger and craving for revenge, and while she can be volatile, at the end of the day she’s kinda just. a kid who was hurt. and yeah maybe she isn’t the “perfect victim”, she’s rude and angry and lashes out at people whether they deserve it or not. but she still didn’t deserve to be hurt the way she was. and she very much IS capable of love and forgiveness and she can eventually mend what was broken if she accepts the help offered to her. it just might take her a little extra time and some people willing to give her a chance. and also forgive some possible alleged murders but that’s not important

ok im gonna stop with just the clique girls cause this would get way too long HAHAHA but thank u for this ask and i hope u found my interpretations of these characters and this silly kpop lore at least somewhat interesting or accurate :P also hope ur enjoying the comeback hype as much as i am YIPPEEEE

[ovidiomedes]

What's the difference when Byakuya expresses disgust towards Makoto and when it's towards Toko? I want to understand naegami.

alright! let's get into it! but a few things first

im not trying to get you to like togami if u already don't. a lot of what i like abt togami and naegami is my interpretation of his character and his personality in the games and anime

ok now into the post

there's a very clear difference between how byakuya talks to toko and how he talks to makoto.

byakuya fucking HATES toko. his treatment of her is vile and abusive (abuse is used regularly in THH to talk abt them) whilst his treatment of makoto feels more like "im smarter than you and i will make sure you know it"

the thing for me about byakuya is that the general way he treats people is very reminiscent of his role as the ultimate progeny. he thinks he's better than everyone else for being rich and from a powerful family. and he will make sure everyone knows it.

his dynamics with makoto and kyoko are a lot chiller bc of that. bc they (mostly kyoko) do not put up w his bullshit. kyoko has no problem putting him in his place. makoto tends to just let him do his thing albeit with an annoyed eye roll.

its something i also noticed whilst replaying THH. but toko starts stalking and following byakuya around and then he starts ordering and treating her like shit. it tells me he probably likes and misses that kind of dynamic with people he thinks are "below him". yknown the typical "rich person treats others like shit bc it reaffirms his role in society"

tldr: byakuyas treatment of toko feels like he genuinely fucking hates her, whilst his treatment of makoto feels more like "tragically i do like you"

GODDDHFJSKAJDJFKFKJSKFKFJFJF I FINISHEDDD I'll probs do a reread and do a proper review bc I didn't get a chance to write down my thoughts while reading through the first time but eueuudufvjjsjdd I'm so emotional that was the perfect fucking ending for glass bee oh my gosh :(( 🫶🫶🫶

They mean sm to me I feel so ougohuhohigihoh

I love your fics so much man they're genuinely so incredible and I think they're the most unique this fandom has ever seen. Like glass and stars are both sooo<333 the world building?? The plot and conflicts?? Idk it's just crazy to me that we get to read this shit for free it's fuckign professional level writing bee. Thank you so so much for sharing it with us 🫶🫶🫶 I'm so lucky that it's a part of my life bc it genuinely is one of my fav things in it

You have a way of making me feel satisfied when I read your fic endings. Like. I hate it when stuff ends shfjfkf it's a problem of mine. I normally like will refuse to read/watch an ending bc I don't want it to end and also a lot of times??? I will just. Not like the ending. Either bc it's shit or the fact that it is an ending, but with your fics?? They've always been fucking amazing. I mean shfjgkf it def helps that there's another fic ur writing that I can read after this one's over, but for the actual ending part?? You write it so well man. It always ties up everything super nicely but not in like?? An unrealistic way where ur like "well that's just Too convenient". Like there's still enough of a question where the readers can leave it up to interpretation and come up with their own ideas, but all the major plot points are resolved and they all come together so nicely too?? And the last line is Always a banger. Ur so cool bee. Whenever I read the end of ur fic, I will literally smile bc im just like "aw man that's perfect" I SMILE!!! THAT'S CRAZY FOR ME NORMALLY IM SAD ITS OVER but with ur writing it's just like "damn holy shit that was perfect" rahhhssss I fucking love your writing Bee so so much

God and just... Glass is such a unique story too. Like ?? Cyberpunk religious trauma story?? Literally nothing I'd ever consume. I'm not the biggest fan of cyberpunk (I don't dislike it it's just not my preferred stuff to read) and as an agonistic person with religious trauma I normally avoid reading anything to do with religion LMAOODOFJFK (tho I've actually been trying to be more openminded and learn about all the diff types of religions and stuff) so I honestly was like "huh not sure what to expect from this fic but. It's bee so" And LORD I fucking??? Loved this fic??? So much??? Like I got so invested and I honestly really enjoyed the religious aspects of it a lot. It was such a fascinating topic like philosophy wise man. And oughhhfsjfk the way you used Wilbur vs Pronouns vs Pythia was genius. Like. That's such a creative tool to use?? Makes me appreciate writing sm. U just can't get this stuff in visual forms like tv/movies. It's just really neat seeing all the ways u play around with writing. It's super cool and impressive

Whenever I read ur writing it makes me feel like a smarter person tbh like. Just the way I turn my brain on to digest what you've written it's SOOO nice

And I am especially excited for rose bc I feel like my brain is gonna go haywire in that one too ehehehe also look at me go, finally reading a mcd fic (no literally bee. I haven't even read Passerine bc it's major character death. But I'm reading it for u. ^-^)

LORDDDFJFJ okay I gotta go do my french quiz now . And then I'll read rose ch2 BUT JUSR !!!!!!! UR AMAZING BEE !!!!! LOVE U AND UR WRITING SM !!!! TY FOR BEING EPIC ❤️❤️❤️🫶🫶🫶

awww thank you icy <3 this is so kind. I just love writing and always have, and it means so much that I have a supportive audience like you guys who are willing to read my silly stories

I'm so glad you like my endings. I always try to end my stories in just the right spot, when it feels like everything that needs to be said has been said while still leaving things open for the readers to imagine what comes next. I don't have super specific criteria for my endings, I just go with my gut on what feels right and it's worked out pretty well so far.

it makes me so happy that you took a chance on the kind of story you'd never normally read just because it was mine. I knew glass was a pretty unique concept because you don't usually see cyberpunk combined with those kinds of themes, so I was definitely a bit worried how many people would tune in for it. but I was so happy to find out that so many of you guys were willing to check it out because it was mine. like that seriously means so much to me to hear. I had such a fun time exploring those themes and emotions.

when I decided to do the pythia vs wilbur narration thing it felt like I was taking a huge risk. I was very worried that it would turn a lot of readers off to the story, but when I thought about the impact it could have as a format choice I knew I had to do it even if I lost some readers because of it. I really love experimenting with my writing and trying out new things, and as I'm sure you've noticed by now I have a particular affection for themes surrounding names and the power they hold. so it just felt like such a perfect way of diving into themes surrounding names while also getting a chance to experiment with format in a way I hadn't done before. I'm so glad it paid off well.

it means a lot that you're going to stick with under the hanging rose when you don't normally read MCD. I can't promise you won't be sad, but I can promise the MCD I have planned isn't going to be cheap or just angst fodder. it'll be narratively satisfying (or unsatisfying but in an intentional way lol)

thank you for all the love you give me icy this made me so happy to read <3 so glad you enjoyed

ok im going try to write my initial thoughts on mutant mayhem, MASSIVE TMNTMM SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT obviously!! another note is that a lot of these arent final ofc, just my first reaction! i will def be on the lookout for a closer investigation of these points by people smarter than me, i just need to write these down. ok lets go

.

ill start with the exceptional positives :-) the animation was STUNNING and the fight scenes and chase sequences??????/ fuckin breathtaking!!! i think the dynamic btwn the turtles was rly fun too :-) and an interesting take on leo's whole leader situation! like that scene where the guys were surprised that hes on board with the hero plan,,, i also rly liked the little nods to other iterations, like when in the end raph said hes glad his brothers are the last thing hes gonna see before dying felt so similar to what 2014 raph said in a very similar situation and it was fun to notice hehe. also i know donnie having a purple hoodie is pretty generic but i like to think it was a callback to rise donnie :-) AND I CRIEDDDD WHEN THE HUMANS STARTED HELPING THEM OUT IN ANY WAY THEY COULD,,, THAT WAS SO SWEET AND I LOVE THIS SORT OF THING IN SUPERHERO MOVIES,,

now as for negatives. not a fan of the milking gag 😬 it just made me kinda uncomfortable tbh. so upset abt baxter dying right off the bat :-( idk if it wouldve been bad for the narrative or whatever but i just wish he survived. and its kinda. weird that the ONLY character to die in this movie was him idk. also not feelin great about all the mutants introduced in the movie being siblings/cousins???? especially since splinter ended up dating the cockroach lady?...... like. superfly's group all consider each other siblings and they consider the turtles their cousins and splinter is the turtles' dad so. like i know its a cartoon and its not that deep but i Do Not Like That. really fucking wish they used literally anything other than ao/t for donnie's anime of interest. come on man. also really wish the puking wasnt. like that. or wasnt there at all. man. maybe its just me idk. and finally! got some mixed feelings on the conclusion with superfly. LIKE. yes obviously the goal of murdering all humans on earth is Bad but ultimately his point was that humans cant accept the existence of mutants. and i mean. his point was kinda proven over and over again throughout the movie? and literally the only reason the mutants (minus superfly) were welcomed into society or whatever was because they helped defeat "a bad mutant". but that. sends a weird message? i think? bc like. so if youre just existing as someone different from others, people can just outcast you and thats totally cool and fine and if you want to be accepted you have to be useful to them in some way? i dont think thats a very good message gdkjfgd,,, idk maybe its not that deep either but it left me feeling kinda. wondering how long this would even last,, which sounds pretty pessimistic but i hope im getting my point across.

thats all i had to say on the matter for now! once again, im looking forward to reading more different opinions on this movie and im hoping someone mentions any of this so i know im not insane <3 ig let me know what u think if u think its important? im always always willing to learn

#wl26 #tmnt #mm #turtleposting #this is so nerve wracking to post kgdfjngd guy who is so anxious #(guy who is just stating his initial reaction to a movie) surely this makes me a bad person

doedipus did a giovanna season 3 wishlist and she's a lot fighting game smarter than me but im gonna do one for ramlethal still:

fix 2d: 2k 2d needs to always combo. this is non negotiable. that is all.

command high (6k): it's ok if it's slow, it doesnt need to do almost any damage. but ramlethal doesnt even have a single special that hits high. she doesnt have gap closers to play a pure zoning game, and thats fine, everyone likes to run up and scratch anyhow. but her current pressure loops are literally Solved. even w the tightest most optimal strings and combos and rekka cancels, there is literally no opportunity to mix up an enemy, which makes her unviable as a strike throw as well. existing as a hybrid is one thing, but making ram players rely on pure next level galaxy brain RPS for every second of every round is not in line w the gameplan of any other viable character. give her a high to crack them open. and let it combo too! alternatively,

command grab: the easy way out. was just talking abt this and it fixes the same issue as last one, esp if it bounces. simple as. but for me it rly does not fit in with rams focus on amazing frame data and superior reads leading to big rewards. so,

pure movement special: how many times have u dauro'd or sildo'd just to close the gap and, naturally, got smacked? how many times have u sat at a distance grinding yr teeth losing neutral bc u wanna move but dont wanna get smacked? give ram a special dash, or some sort of aerial movement thing that leaves her able to act. a fakeout version of either dauro or sildo would fit naturally into her gameplan of "player choices win neutral not moves," allowing her to close gap and do nothing, close gap and dash over, close gap and back up to re-gap, etc. her dash speed is amazing, definitely, but dashblock just isnt enough in this game when blocking at all can put you into an infinite fear loop. make it throwable on read for all i care, but i dont think this is a big ask; im not even asking for a low profile gap closer/counter hitter like every other character in the game has! just let her get close, quickly, safely!

delay setups with swords: theyre giving everyone new specials, and ram already has a resource right there: two swords. currently they have exactly one use, mid projectile pressure, and theyre good at it. but this becomes unusable except as confirm in high level play, esp in corner pressure (the good players know to block low and when to press a button). i dont have an exact proposal but my idea to expand their use would be something similar to her xrd sword setups: a delayed disjoint mine, one in the air one on the ground. using the move expends the sword in the same way as shoot, but instead of applying brief unworrying projectile pressure it locks an opponent into their position, further opening rams approach and increasing mental stack. all part of her current gameplan but more. we're smart enough to figure out setups i promise daisuke.

improve js startup by like 2: if u get the read on yr opponent doing dumb jump in u should always win. i shouldnt be trading with like baiken jp or whatever the fuck. im the zoner, and this is my only real zoning move. im not asking for a ground to air, or a dp, or a diff followup, anything. and this wont be any different towards moves it already beats. just let my js hit. please.

#i dont ask for a lot...!!!! #a little unhinged mb but i dont think any of these are too op or out of line w her design #ram #guilty gear #fighting games

ohhh my favourite part of ask games, (harmless) petty fandom drama. i know these are a lot so ofc feel free to pick and choose but im nosy and love gossip so if you feel like it *eyes emoji*:

1 2 (just for the drama lol) 6 (feel free to ignore i understand u completely but i live for drama lol) 7 (MORE) 8 12 (<3) 16 (*eyes emoji*) 21 22 (for some final positivity)

1 - the character everyone gets wrong cedric the sorcerer. he deserves respect as a person, and the royal family was wrong to deny him that, but he does little to earn respect as royal sorcerer. 'oh he has such a good and relatable arc' whup tee doo his grand finale was... *checks notes* doing his job correctly. the one he's been training for his whole life. color me unimpressed by a character that should have either left that job YEARS ago or put a little effort into anticipating what he'd be asked to do and practicing instead of trying to prove his worth through stunts and domination.

2 - a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom can't do it lol, everyone's a verse in my mind

6 - which ship fans are the most annoying? shoutout to the time i went through the snape/lily tag and couldn't scroll 3 posts without a james/lily shipper trying to pull moral rank. however i think 75% of the hp fandom has ship rabies.

7 - what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them? eh, none, i don't let fandom influence my interpretations of characters that way. cedric is closest but the fandom misinterpretation is just an additional annoyance, rather than a driving force

8 - common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about 'cedric and sofia have a good relationship'. shipping or not, they're completely one-sided. what does cedric provide sofia with? he doesn't even listen to her particularly well.

12 - the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them to no one's surprise, my first pick here is wormwood from sofia the first. he was created as a joke, ha ha the pet is smarter than the human master, but then the show makes you judge him by human moral standards as the foil to cedric's 'deserving of second chances'. the show itself asks you to view a character that cannot leave servitude as human, and wants you to believe that his station is right. it's so deeply unfair. i care him. i respect him. i want to see him take the power of humanity for himself, abuse it, naturally, because that's all humans have ever done to him, then grow into a complete person when he realizes he cares despite it all. knowing that, i feel like mentioning areelu should come as no surprise. doing great evil in response to evil that was done to you? that's so up my alley. up my pussy even. making her bond with daeran of all people is such a great idea, someone who cannot forgive her, but must move on and work with her regardless. it seems like most people write her off as too evil to live, but she's still a super genius. there's a lot to be gained by befriending her. the gold dragon ""redemption"" happens so absurdly fast though. 'oh shit guess this is pretty fucked up, so glad you're a piss-colored lizard bc that's the only way i'd ever listen to you' wrath's writing in general has a bit of a quantity over quality issue. a lacking-logic issue. no way my azata would sacrifice herself just cuz without knowing what areelu will do once she's gone.

16 - you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc) - hero-type main characters in general. idk exactly what it is but i find most of them very dull, and often irritating. a lack of desires beyond duty? can't often be described as freaks? they just never have any footholds for interesting ideas to me. - gold aasimar cum. if you want something golden to come out of daeran's dick, you can just make him piss XD also does that imply his hair is naturally white? - daeran x chill/lawful/'boring' kcs - i can tell that on some level he wants the stability from people like that, but i can't see him actually bonding with them. esp not towards the start of the game. - truly, utterly pathetic meow meows. like, listen, i love shoving a character into a Situation and watching them flounder around, but they've gotta be proficient at something!

21 - part of canon you think is overhyped for just about everything: the worldbuilding. i think people get impressed by the mere existence of worldbuilding, rather than the quality of it. pf surprised me when i looked deeper into stuff and found it gave me the same 'this is a hot mess and i have to make shit up for it to make sense' feeling as stf. i expected better from a massive ttrpg but ok. for wrath, also the characters and the music. the characters rely on one-note personalities with maybe a ~hint~ of spice, with one extremely notable exception of daeran. the degree to which he beats out every other character in complexity is stunning, really. the music is... just fine? it's not amazing, it does exactly what you'd expect a track for that purpose to do. I think most of the tracks have muddy orchestration, too much focus on harmony/vibes and not enough on rhythm and melody. the one track i really love is 'a drink before the battle', it has a great flow and dynamics and i wish it played more often.

22 - your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores the villains/antagonists, best part of literally any media ever

[kaeyapilled]

I've been running Kaeya and Diluc together for nearly 2 years, and I like to think their builds are pretty good. Team comps and rotations are just as important for good damage as character builds are (eg, with a good team set up, my Kaeya hits for 60k. With a bad one, he hits for 10k at most)

If you have him, Bennett is an excellent team mate for Kaeya and Diluc. If not, Barbra with thrilling tales of dragon slayers works.

As for the 4th slot, this one's pretty flexible. An anemo character like Sucrose or kazuha is best. Another cryo character like rosaria is also an option, especially when trying to boost Diluc's damage. Another pyro character like xiangling would work to boost Kaeya's damage. Sucrose is the best f2p friendly option here though.

When it comes to rotations, if Diluc is the one triggering melt he's gonna be doing the most damage. If Kaeya is triggering melt he's the one doing the damage.

Diluc's build is really straightforward. 4 piece crimson witch is basically always best (the set was designed for him). He wants crit, atk% and EM. An atk%, crit or em claymore will be good on him (although crit claymores are hard to come by f2p)

Kaeya's build is more complicated. One of his strengths is how flexible he is as a character. But that makes it more difficult to find out the best way to build him for how you use him.

Burst DPS - melt: 4 piece emblem of severed fate or 2piece blizzard and 2piece nobeless. He needs crit, Energy recharge, EM and atk%.

Burst DPS - freeze: 4 piece blizzard. He needs far less crit rate with this build, especially if you have any constalations. He needs crit DMG, energy recharge and atk%

Sub-DPS/cryo applicator - his personal damage is less important here. He just needs enough ER to get his burst back consistently. Artifact set is also less important, but 4 piece embalem would probably be best.

Physical DPS - 2 piece bloodstained and 2 piece pale flame. Or 2 piece Phys set (like pale flame) and 2 piece atk set (like gladiators final). Or (weirdly) 4 piece blizzard. If running with blizzard, he only really needs crit DMG and atk%. If using another set combination, he needs crit rate and crit DMG as well as atk%

Atk% weapons are the best bet for Kaeya as a f2p. EM may work better for a melt Kaeya, and if you have any crit swords then it makes it easier to balance crit ratios. But 5* weapons are not needed, and weapons banner is a scam.

Anyway this was really long. I'm a bit of a try hard when it comes to character building and combat lmao.

okay this is a lot of info im gonna save this for future reference.

i got bennet recently! i have him c2 i think? i haven't gotten around to building him though. i think he's still lvl 1 actually. as for barbara i have her on my team for healing and hydro support so i can freeze the enemies,, my 3rd slot (barbara is 4th lmao) is kujou sara because i wanted a bow character. even though im aware anemo would be a good choice here augh,,,,,,,,,, and rosaria! i had her on my team for a while but switched her out because i just. needed to shoot things sometimes? and wanted more elemental reactions i guess idk the thought process and i was low ar (not like im super smarter now but.. good excuse nonetheless)

+ i have a phys dmg % sword on kaeya and it works i think but i like throwing ice not just stabbing people</3 i want to give him one with the stats u said but it'll take soooo long for me to get my hands on one.

#im so bad at like. team comps and builds #it's my least favorite aspect of the game tbh i think its boring #yeah seeing the big dmg numbers is satisfying but ehhh im bad at video games #because people will be like ''you need to use this character with that one because elements and buffs and blah blah'' #but im more of a playing with the characters i personally like girlie #but at the same time it's like. i need to do spiral abyss SOMETIME. i cant be floor 4 chamber 3 forever😭 #plus like. world bosses and etc i need to be at least a bit strong. though to me hitting like 10k at MOST is already pretty good lol #im not complaining about ur tips though!!!!!!! i appreciate the help ill keep this in mind #save for later #anonpilled #<- not rlly. askpilled?
