๐๐๐ awesome and sexy ID card on my character? Let's gooooooo

Holding fem Byleth very dearly right now
Major spoilers & very large block of text under cut
Do you think she always got called doll-like as a child? Do you think when her body changed beyond her control the comment appeared more often? Do you think sometimes people stare and take a breath when she actually moves? Do you think in houses she doesn't go in the worship building because the coloured glass makes her look ethereal? That she no longer feels real? That the world around her feels so real, yet she doesn't? That she's always been isolated from the world, but now there is no way to bridge the gap because people did things to her body that she never even knew and in some routes never will know? You think she stays awake at night thinking about how nobody even tried to tell her? That even after the death of her father, her one protector, the people who did this to her still never told her and tried to use her. That because of politics and religion and her flesh, because her very heart, she will never truly get to close the social gap between her and the world.
Do you think she's finally happy in the end of houses Crimson Flower? That she finally feels like a real person? That she is free from the church? That when she looked in a mirror she cried to see her eyes and hair colour? That her body is under her control again?
Heheheh I entered the dtiys from blobbers but will not tag her therefore she legally cannot reblog this >:D
i made an oc for tma whos a therapist specifically hired by elias to give the archival staff therapy bc god they need it so badly
The amount of people who find out their family replaced their pet fish makes me inclined to agree animals can be replaced by the stranger
Somewhere in the archives is a statement where a small child is so certain their parents replaced their hamster and is lying to them and now the hamster escapes every night and claws inside the walls and leaves scratches on their skin and eats their things(specifically their homework for funny reasons) but in the morning they find the hamster and their parents don't belive them and are quite firm in the "No this is the same hamster you've always had you are just making up stories"
And Jon looks at the child giving the statement and agrees yeah his parents replaced the hamster but this is a normal not super natrual thing, but how did a small child make it to the archives on their own?? Where are it parents???
In tma, they said that the fears are also fears of animals too. They just glossed over this, but I have questions.
Can dogs be replaced by the stranger and you not notice? Do lab mice get trapped in the spiral if they are put in the maze too much? Can rabbits be avatars of the lonely if you don't give them a friend? Could a crow become a beholder?
I wish this was explored further. We saw the murder pig. I wanna know if there is some more fucked up animal avatars.
The idea of human desire creating visions is SO powerful, it's utterly poetic.
The mere idea that human beings have such strong desires, that is creates a vision that allows them to change the world around them. That their desire gave them the tools they needed to push forward in this world and make the changes they want.
It doesn't mater what the desire is, so long as it means something so personal to them that it can move the heavens. From the refusal to die to the hands of the gods, to want, to wanting to cook
Just, something about how any desire is worthy. Any ambition you have, it moves humanity and changes the world around you.
Still catching up with critical role campaign two,
but here is a fun little thing of head cannons I had at the first few episodes and how they turned out now that I'm on ep 53
Fjord dies first(Twas wrong, but he deserves it with how dangerous a game he plays)
Mollymauk has many lovers appear out nowhere, calling him different names and being sweet when he shows up in town(Not lovers, but different name babey!)
Nobody here is going by their real name, only Yasha but that's because she has nothing to hide from. She will beat the shit out of anybody who recognizes her(Two or three names down, we will see who else has a fake name?)
Nott is a soccer mom, caleb is her theter kid son in medical school she can't stop bragging about(Am I wrong???)
Beau is going to kill a child and just shrug it off (Not yet....?)
Jester is going to become a war criminal, or a cultist(Only time will tell!)
Caleb will develop a crush on Jester or Molly, nothing serious maybe has a single date but then moves on(From spoilers I heard I was kinda right? I think?)
Fjord is asexual, but biromantic. (I STAND BY THIS ONE EVEN AS I AM WRONG /j)
And one from when caduceus when he was introduced!
He has lice, he has lice in his fur and clothes and he is fine with it because any ecosystem is a good thing even if it is itchy(Does his staff beetles count?)
The daddy issues make me want to sob with every semi father figure I see in media, but something about dad schlat content makes me cry ten times harder
โWho do you ship in three housesโ
Theyโre basically all aro ace actually
I hope it is okay if I reblog to share my thoughts on this!!
As a neurodiverse person, I think it is incredibly important to have neurodiverse actors playing the neurodiverse characters!
I would absolutely love some genuine representation seen and seeing neurodiverse actors for younger neurodivergents who aspire to act or are big PJO fans to have people to look up to and see themselves in!!
Also not only do neurotypical actors playing neurodiverse characters tend to come off as over to the community as a mockery, but also neurodiverse actors are commonly overlooked and mistreated. From executives not making the set a safe place for them to work, to straight up bullying them and forcing them to suppress their neurological traits.
Not to mention that recently a big deal in the neurodiverse community(particularly for autistic folks) was Sia's movie "Music" where Sia not only hired an allistic actor to play a nonverbal autistic girl(who not only compared autistic people to inanimate objects, but also made a mockery of autistic body language and facial expressions throughout the whole movie), but Sia also claimed to have heavily researched autism and neurodiversity for three years before partnering with "Autisim Speaks" a well known autisim hate group. Sia ignored autistic and other neurodiverse voices, and straight up made a mockery of them for asking her to consider recasting and making accommodations to include autistic people. There was much more that went wrong with Sia. There are some things I fail to mention due to not wanting to go further and being physically and mentally exhausted just think about it, and some because it is genuinely triggering. While I know Rick wouldn't do that to us, Sia's movie had a rather large impact on the neurodiverse community and a lot of neurodiverse folks will be scared of this going in the same direction based on ot having the same issue that started the attention shift to Sia's movie and opened a lot more of the discussions on this topic of neurotypical playing neurodiverse folk.
Nonetheless all Sia wanted was to profit off an already struggling and stigmatized community like so many others have in the past, and frankly I am so tired of neurotypical people saying they care about the community just to show they are only here to feel good about themselves or for inspiration porn and profit.
There are many neurodiverse actors who would love to have the chance to have a job and take part in this movie. Not every character in PJO is neurodiverse(confirmed by frank zhang!), and so of course not every actor on the show has to be neurodiverse but those confirmed to be neurodiverse should be played by neurodiverse actors and those actors should be given a safe place to work and have their needs actually met.
I say, nothing about us without us.
do you think itโs important that the cast are neurodiverse/have adhd even if it means aging up the characters?
Thank you for this question. I will admit that I hadnโt thought about it before, and thatโs a fault of my own. I am not part of the neurodiverse community and I donโt want to talk over those voices. Those members of the pjo fandom will have far more valuable insight and their thoughts and opinions should hold more weight on this topic than mine.ย
That being said, I think it is important as representation is always important. It would be something great if they could try for it. Whether it is necessary in the casting decisions, I donโt believe I have the right to determine.ย ย
At the end of the day, it doesnโt matter what I think since Iโm not behind any of the decisions. They will cast who they cast. As far as aging up, based on what they have said so far, I donโt believe they will consider that.
Whether or not they cast actors who areย neurodiverse/have ADHD for the demigods, it is important that they do the necessary research. Since Rick is working on the show and his son has ADHD and dyslexiaโthe son for whom he originally wrote the seriesโI trust that the show will not have a negative portrayal of the neurodiverse community. Then again, I ask pjo fans who are part of the community for their thoughts on this.
I feel so fucking cruel watering the plants and seeing a bunch of little bumblebees swirl around the air in shock like I'm sorry I wouldn't have done that if I knew you were there I'm sorry
