Forum!Hitan but he's a little older and no less obnoxious, so after he watches someone play Plants vs. Zombies he does things like lob coffee beans and peas at Rai and Silence since he'd designed plants and zombies based on both of them and is pretending either to pelt them with peashooter peas or activating them in the daytime with coffee beans

Also a few weeks ago I found some older 8th grade writing (some parts of it were better than my current writing lol pain) and one of them was kinda just me calling forum!Silence (who was in my care at the time) a tsundere
The way I characterized her, she definitely would have come after me with a sword, undrawn and all

I forgot to post this a few days ago, but when Echo talked about forum!Rai with Alois all I could think of was Rai in a court with Alois as his public counsel, and Alois just absolutely despises himRai just wants to get the courtroom proceedings over with so lol
It's funny because outside of court, as long as nothing serious is going on, they'd get along fine (not particularly well, but fine), but in court Alois wants to throw Rai out of the nearest window. Constantly. (Plot twist: Alois was the one who yeeted Rai out of the window in that one I.Q. lol)
The judge, to Alois: How does your client plead?
Rai, interrupting his lawyer while staring right into the judge's eyes: Hot milky, Your Honor.
Alois:
Alois: (: (*whispering to Rai*) Be prepared to say goodbye to your soul today you lil brat
Rai: (:

Oh btw I think the talking mannerism in the above post was probably really wrong, it's just my initial impression of how something like that might play out lol sorry

Something I've been thinking about more is the idea of Chinese 三观. I guess it's sort of a philosophy of sorts but essentially it's made of three components (as indicated by the "three" in the name lol): View of the world, view of human life, and view of value
I'm not very familiar with it (and neither is my mom), but it's interesting because apparently something or other theorizes that "compatibility" between people in society (or at least adults in society, from my understanding) can be largely judged by these three viewpoints, and while I'm not too sure about that (I haven't defined anything of the sort for myself as of far), I do think that these generalize at least one component of "compatibility" between people.
On the fun end, I think of characters and how this "sanguan" might play into character design dynamics (idk what to call it otherwise, sorry lol), but on the more terrifying end it's how everyone's getting older and these viewpoints become more and more pertinent.
I'll follow up with something on this, but first something else
It's slightly cursed but Beat Your Bike's playthrough video for Crowscare keeps coming up in my feed and I just keep seeing the character in the thumbnail as horror game style Waver :') and this is terrifying because I think the guy really doesn't like me but I keep bringing him with me to farm
If I get murdered in the middle of the night, it might be a random burglar but just saying. Crowscare-style Waver is also a possibility

Continuing on with a loose talk about sanguan, I suppose the idea is that both one's view of the world (shijie guan) and view of human life (renshen guan) source from one's experiences, while one's view of value (jiazhi guan) is more consciously controlled. The three are said to be "inseparable," and it is through their interactions with each other that a fulfilling human life can be reached. Or something like that.
I'm not very qualified to theorize, but I think that the two perspectives before manifest themselves in the form of the third, so the third is more easily pinpointed due to being more visible. I suppose the first view would likely be more connected to spirituality/religion, which would definitely make sense (at least to me). There is definitely a big difference between people's views of life's meaning when they believe different things about the world, such as who/what created it and why that creation was so. But mostly, when I think of "sanguan," I really do think about how some people value physical things over spiritual things. I guess for now, my hasty summarization on the topic is how different political opinions usually come from different upbringings, different experiences, different ways of living, different settings, stuff like that. Those differences culminate in a different view of what humans should and can do to be successful as well as how the world is built, and I suppose that's why by the time politics and whatnot come about, individual values are already drastically different.
Due to my personal experiences, this topic is really making me wonder about the Thaohals' sanguan. Yes, their most prominent view (value) would be money, but upon what worldly view and human view is that based upon? Maybe it's because they're fictional that I'm so interested, since in reality, I don't think I'd ever get to truly understand that sort of view of value, despite knowing so many examples of individuals with it.
I mean, think about it. If I asked someone "Why do you like paper with social constructs to the extent that you do?", I'd basically be asking to get slapped.
At least in real life. I'm kind of imagining myself asking Aereon that question and her looking at me all condescendingly (with a smile and all that), like I'm the one who doesn't understand the purpose of money.

Sorta jumping topics here, but I think my initial description of GGaD!Galaxian as a "optimistic-pessimistic" realist was pretty on the spot, though I definitely should have elaborated more.
Like thinking about it, he's literally like 3-4 years old (chronologically) but has canonically seen all the worst aspects of humanity. But he's also seen some of the bright spots, so he keeps interacting with people in hopes of seeing more.
He's the kind of guy who'll go through huge patches of darkness for those little pockets of light, even if the experience in the dark is much worse than what the experience in the light can counter. 'Cause that's the kind of entity he is.
Can't relate. His way of doing it is super illogical in my view, because by default it means he'll be hammered down and bruised much more than he'll be healed up, but also it's not like it's completely separate from my own worldview, so I can't complain. At least, not about this in particular.
And if you're wondering, the pessimism comes at the end. Because there isn't a future he'll see where humanity is utterly doomed (even if it is in theory, then as long as it exists he'll see the goodness), his pessimism is mostly directed towards the end of individual relationships. Where he definitely put too much hope in the other individual throughout the entire process and only realizes at the end how much he's been hurt. Pretty nifty for a god of loyalty, I'd say.

I kinda like how this implies that the last dastardly move Galaxian saw anyone make in terms of originality was possession
I'm not too sure if that's true, but I do know that his current attitude towards villainous characters he encounters is basically "Yeah, yeah, you're that sort of scumbag. Been there, seen that. Now uh, I'm gonna put you in a room now, 'kay? In a little dimension. Until you get some character development."
Some bad guy out there: (*sacrificing children for rituals and bathing in said children's blood*)
Galaxian, 'bout to put them in a room: Yep.

I like to imagine that in an AU where Galaxian isn't bound by roleplay rules, he's basically a kid with a little box who can stuff all the evil people in said little box, kinda like a reverse Pandora's box.
He'd certainly be much happier there. That's for sure.
Tbh he lets the evil people pick a sticker to put on the box before he stuffs them in there

F/GO Arc 2 spoilers (for reference, all of the Singularities are Arc 1)
F/GO Galaxian NP idea: The universe is literally a boxTbh imagine a Lostbelt sort of setting but the thing with the world is that this Galaxian exists and everyone lives in fear of a little guy who'll come and stuff them in a box if they do really bad things. Or at least it started off like that, but after a while he can just put them in a box if they even think of doing really bad things.
I can't really tell if him doing this would hold back the development of a world, which seems to be the problem with Lostbelts, but it's kinda funny, idk. Probably an ideal world to live in, in a way.
The problem, I guess, would maybe be how the box-stuffing is subjective? Like yes, people might think of bad things, but that doesn't mean they'd exactly do them. And also how "bad things" contribute to society in a way. I dunno.
It's still funny though (:until I need to think of more bad ideas to supplement this one, that is. I wonder what reasoning Ritsuka and co. could use to justify fighting him?? I guess he's like a mini tyrant, but that's kinda just how he is, and it seems better than the living conditions of the Yaga and the sacrifice thing in the second Lostbelt anyhow.

I am thoroughly ticked right now because of a dream (:
For context, I dreamt about a large portion of the HPA cast, which means this dream was effectively the dream with the largest number of other people's characters that I have ever dreamt about (though some roles were switched up, like Galaxian was a teacher for some reason? Also Calix wasn't there yet. Still getting to the school. And the school was definitely not the canon one.)
A bunch of my characters were missing, which is funny. In fact, Hitan and Iollan weren't in there so lol. Probably because I don't know how either of them looks.
So why am I ticked?
Wiley (being the attention grabber he is) was the guy I had the perspective of for the entire dream.
The bastard improvised an entire song and dance routine to go along with it. And let me just say it was a pretty good song. Completely improvised. Almost entirely complete. With good lyrics and everything. And it wasn't short either.
I was like "I have to remember this" for the entirety of the time he was singing, and tbh it should've been easy because I remember it was extremely catchy.
But as soon as I woke up, that specific part of the dream was gone. And the guy is definitely smirking at me with glee.
Anyways, my rage at that absolute bastard aside, I explicitly remember the song traumatized Germaine (just because it referred to Wiley's backstory). Wiley asked her if she liked it and she basically said "No" with the most traumatized look in her eyes
Also Raez carried Wiley bridal style (which was a weird perspective to be in) for a good portion of the song, which is also not nice because I couldn't tell their relationship (beyond being friends) in the dream either despite being in one of their perspectives (:
Wiley has a really nice singing voice, I'll give him that. In one part of the song, he did that thing where you spice it up by raising the pitch, and he did it without issue. I also know his voice now, I guess. I'm still not sure if I wanted to know. :')
Other parts of the dream that might be of interest:
-This was apparently the first day but apparently it wasn't the first time Malaika saw Wiley. She avoided him and I admire her for that
-But anyways he let her on the elevator first, which kinda surprised me. But I won't complain. Never complain about Wiley being a gentleman for once, since he probably won't do it again
-After getting to the 3rd floor (and I do remember it being the third floor), Rai and Dion were talking, and both of them basically ignored Wiley (Rai did talk to him for a bit but almost immediately resumed his conversation with Dion), which I admire them for as well
-Galaxian was so sweet lol very cute
-Germaine was so concerned lol,,,
-Wiley should not be allowed to drive.
-Also a funny thing: I'm pretty sure the dream went on in Nazoja (my mind trying to develop it lol). I remember thinking to myself, "It looks a lot more like a city once you look at it from above. If I were to be standing there (at a part I was pointing at), it'd probably look less like a city for sure." (AU superimposition lol)
Anyhow, interesting dream.
I don't know what to do with this now. xD

I like how at this point I'm not even that concerned with the character development of Raez and Wiley (at least in GGaD and HPA), I just want to know if same-gender attraction is a thing for either/both of them and the two of them are basically telling me to screw off by just completely ignoring my question constantly

Looking at some older screenshots, I realized that Sunny has existed for 3 years now (since the "4S plot" started in June of 2019)
It has not felt that long.
Most of all, he does not have enough development lol oh no

Wiley's singing voice is kinda suited to singing "Be Prepared" from The Lion King as Scar, but if Scar had acted completely normally/innocent (or relatively so) up until that point in the film
And of course this is ironic because Wiley himself doesn't act like that even if he's not a villain
Anyhow I'm not making comparisons, I think the original version should stay as it is. But it does feel like the sort of song Wiley could sing well, in addition to certain duet pieces that I cannot name lol
Wiley can sing sinister songs or optimistic songs. He's not very good at edgy ones from what I can tell, or the soft/emotional ones. The one he sang in the dream ended on an optimistic note (so that's where I'm getting that from). Canonically he'll sing more dramatic pieces with Raez but he'll take the less prominent role, so I think he's aware of this "trend" of sorts, at least to an extent.

I also like how the biggest aspect of GGaD!Sunny's current design was from me randomly remembering and being disgruntled by school dress codes targeting the shoulders (hence he will usually wear outfits revealing the shoulders,,, yep).
Look, I have nothing against guidelines in general. I understand schools are supposed to be somewhat formal at the very least. But certain priorities are skewed.

Two headcanons:
1. I forget who had the name "Sunny" in mind, but headcanon that part of the logic behind the name was so that if the kid was a boy, Paymon could call him "Son" until Sunny didn't want to be called "Son" anymore. (Since "sun" and "son" are pronounced about the same, lol.)
2. Paymon and Xenia are the kind of couple where Paymon's under the sink fixing something and Xenia's right outside the door talking the entire time so he doesn't feel bored. Alternatively, she could also sing a bit. Tbh she probably should help but I feel like Paymon would want her to do less work (A.K.A. he spoils her) :')

Random F/DA Berserker development inspiration at 4 A.M.,,,

I don't remember all of them but right off the top of my head I remember he has on 2 curses as well as the bell enchantment thing Time put on him during the latest deity meeting
You would think that 2 curses isn't much, but one of them is literally a death curse so. Pretty nifty if I do say so myself
Tbh this is mostly funny to me because Hitan isn't very familiar with curses, so I feel like it took him way too long to see those curses on Galaxian and when he did, he definitely panicked somewhere inside

Galaxian and Hitan are funny because on the surface they both are pretty responsible, but then you see how many problems they have not addressed, either for their own wellbeing or for their relationship
Or how many problems they have in general.
It's kind of a "You really have no right to advise me on how to solve my problems because you have too many yourself that you cannot resolve" sort of situation, on both ends.
Which is why they're more equals than something like a teacher and a student, but it's certainly not the only reason.
