welcome to my blog <3
very super cool mandatory introduction post, apparently.
(this is a blog for fic writing, fandom rambling, and geeking out over webtoons and stories. oh yeah, check me out on ao3: rhizoid... username will be updated soon haha)
i DO take fic requests for SCHOOL BUS GRAVEYARD ONLY!
SUPER COOL INFO BELOW... that you should totally check out vv

So your recent tyler post made me scroll through your blog AGAIN and OOOOUUUUUUUGHHHHH OH MY BABYYYYYYY TYLER MY BEAUTIFULLY TRAGIC AND MISUNDERSTOOD BLORBO HOW COULD THIS FANDOM THINK SO POORLY OF HIM ????
Thank you for understanding him so much Tragedry, you're the only blog I can trust who will treat him right 😭😭😭😭
yeah it's harsh out there, anon 🫂
in a world full of tyler hernandez misunderstanders, it's nice to know someone else shares the same sentiment.
idk why this fandom loves to mischaracterize him so much, but it happens so often that i'm starting to think there's mass psychosis happening somewhere in this fandom (probably tiktok and pinterest lmao) because i can't imagine seeing tyler as anything but a complex character full or nuance and layers.
and yet.
he's not given the same grace as the rest of the characters, where readers (to this day) are still stuck viewing him as the asshole jock at the start of the webtoon, or put him in a box labelled 'gay' and make him logan's 'mean to everyone else but me' stereotypical bl boyfriend.
it's crazy.
it's like they refuse to engage with canon material and constantly treat him like he's a joke (every meaningful art of him still has the same unfunny tree/kebab joke under the comments) or logan's very gay and very mean boyfriend which to me is such a bland take on tyler's character.
don't get me wrong, i'm not here to tell people what to do or how to enjoy their fandom, but it does get frustrating really fast when any meaningful attempt to analyze tyler's character is still met with this blatant refusal to accept that he's more than what fandom thinks or assumes he is.

THANK YOUUUU SO MUCHH >:D
i try my best!
WAIT WAIT ARE YOU ON THE SBG DISCORD? HC AND THEORIES CHANNEL WOULD DIE FOR THIS INFO
i might get discord soon!!! catto was asking me the same thing xD
do you think tyler hates the way he looks because he grew up into his father's features too much? we've seen panels of mariana mistaking her own son for her husband because of their similar attributes (and her mental gaps)...
do you think that was one of the reasons why tyler learned how to dye hair? how to put hair into different styles?
i'm pretty sure red said that he wanted to be a hairdresser/body piercer or just someone who does cosmetics on others for work.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...
Do you mean that he would want to experiment (but not yet) with his appearance?
yepp >:D
maybe in the future...
i dunno i'd like to see where the idea goes, tho!
That makes a lot of sense! Watch out. Im this close to drawing him with- idk, blue hair. Just be prepared.
YES PLEASE TAG ME IF YOU DOOOO 🥺🙏
Alrighty 🫡
YO I’ll jump on that bandwagon with 👀 possibly pink hair Tyler 👀
Pink hair tyler…
Also… racoon tail hair tyler
(I think pink yeaaaarrrss after if he ever decided to, n for fun, maybe dared by aiden or someone else. He would somehow manage to make it edgy. Btw, no pink slander, pink is tuff)
Experimented a bit
Second is as if he just added the dye to his hair as is rather than bleaching it beforehand
The raccoon tail is ADORABLE
He doesn’t wanna admit he likes it
AAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWW SO CUTEEE
WHY ARE FINDING STOPS FOR FREIGHT TRAINS SO HARD????? GOOODDD DANNGG ITTT
something about the fact that aiden knew she was about to reach for him before he even awoke... something about the fact that aiden had sensed that someone was moving near him while he slept... something about the way his eyes were wide and panicked when he opened them... something about the way his first instinct was to defend himself..............................................................
or he's just a silly light sleeper!!1!
Tyler was NOT being gentle with Aiden while they were sharing that wheelchair
Ain’t no way Aiden’s “just a light sleeper”
He’s kinda had to fend for himself for however long cuz of his shitass parents sooooo
I don’t think it’s too far fetched to say he has enough pent up stress where he’s in survival mode even in his sleep :3
HAHA i didn't even notice that lmaoo!! awwhh i forgot about that panel!!
Aiden is homicidal
An analysis post to back up my theory both because I’m cherry picking and I came to conclusions from evidence found :)
Spoilers for the entire series (up to the s2 finale (ep93))
Word count: 1054
When Ashlyn first attacked a phantom with a rolling cart
At first he was amused. “Wow, this girl can throw a punch!” or something along those lines. Then an idea strikes him. He has no idea if it’ll work, since even most humans aren’t deterred from cleaning chemicals. Not good for the skin, sure, but not lethal or overly toxic. He’s going with whatever he can think of, overly ambitious and much too excited/eager--a pattern we’re gonna see a lot more.
This panel kinda creeps me out tbh, but like, in a good way. He didn’t necessarily expect it to cry out in pain, since he didn’t think a spray of windex would boil that thing’s skin, but he’s confused when it’s supposedly silent. I do think anybody probably would be confused, and Aiden smiling here isn’t very out of the ordinary, but he also looks kinda pissed. Partly because of his eyes--I know Red's style development kinda changed his irises/pupils to be bigger naturally than how she used to draw them, but even this piece shows them smaller than his usual. Could just be personal interpretation, but these next panels just build my belief.
It’s not required that he, or any of them, fight the phantoms at the points they’re at in either of these scenes. In the first, it’s preoccupied and they have time to run away. In the second, they’re safe in a barricaded room. I don’t believe at this point they’ve realized that noise attracts the phantoms, but then again, who wouldn’t want to be quiet in a survival situation such as this? Aiden breaking the bottle was definitely loud, the sfx text and the others’ startled reactions makes that clear, so he essentially put them in another level of danger.
This could just be dissociation, but I don’t think a stable individual would be okay being splattered in ichor after participating in and watching, very closely, a living being brutally lose its life. There’s a level of disconnection since it’s a grotesque humanoid creature and it’s trying to kill you, but it’s still clearly alive. And again, his smile isn’t out of character, but it’s still in a weird situation. He’s talking about helping Logan, he doesn’t even mention the phantom’s blood covering him. He either doesn’t seem to mind, or regardless of whether they’re positive or negative, he’s just very good at masking his emotions (we already know this to be true lol)
In the alleyway of the arcade, even before they started acting like phantoms, Aiden’s first appearance since they turned the corner was him already engaged in a fist fight. He’s the type to do anything for the people he loves, especially if that includes bringing harm to others. I’ve noticed this comes up again later on. After their “phantom forms” emerge and they become more aggressive and violent, Aiden still continues on with a smile. And the move he does is brutal, that shit likely broke the guy’s nose, could’ve knocked him out if it was hard enough. Aiden isn’t just angry, he’s very much enjoying himself, and I don’t remember seeing a significant frame of him either regretting what he did, or being horrified about it. I’m sure he was surprised, but with what this post is about and my personal bias, I think it was a pleasant surprise. Or neutral. Either works tbh
We already know he enjoys killing phantoms. Not much to note there. But the god damn SPARKLES ON HIS TEXT BOX. Guy's smug as fuck. So proud of himself for driving a dagger into a living creature's face. I don't think it's ever shown in the comics, but I doubt he would've gone all this time believing they don't feel pain, Ashlyn likely told him and the group that she can hear their screams, I genuinely believe it would be a huge oversight in the story otherwise 😭
Even though it's in.. "defense" of his friends, he's still extremely willing and ready to seriously harm Alex. From how quick he would've had to react to pin Alex down, I really don't think he cared who it was he was threatening. Plus, this was an ambush, he didn't give Alex any time to even really speak, he had that pen in his hand already, he was just waiting for somebody to enter. Aiden was ready--if not to kill, then to torture.
Nobody gets that up close and personal with a deadly,, SOMETHING just to kill it. He could've used those swords (WHICH IS. SWORDS?? WHY DID HE CHOOSE SWORDS LM,AO) as semi-long distance, could've sliced it's throat and moved on to the next. Similarly to the one they killed in the window of the school bus, he's reveling in it. Even if it directly harms him. Bro doesn't care about himself lol (sidenote, Mike is adorable here)
I don't know if Aiden insisted on helping, or if Logan decided for him, but either way, Aiden is trigger happy as shit. Logan's "no aim" comment makes me think that Aiden isn't even trying to aim, he's just shooting whenever he can in the general vicinity of those ,, workers. Cops? They're probably cops idk I don't remember. Even though the kids are getting more accustomed to shooting people, I don't think Logan would want to kill anyone--when he's thinking rationally ofc, I know there are instances where the group's had intrusive thoughts that've been lead by the phantom dimension integrating with them, but Logan was horrified afterwards. My point being, he's likely shooting legs and arms, or the ground in front of the cops, and god knows where Aiden is trying to shoot. I don't doubt his bullets hit, though.
We've been getting into territory where Aiden's violence is stemming from protection, so I can't say much of it is because he's homicidal per se. These frames stuck out to me because. I mean. Look at that face. He's fucking pissed. Ash got hurt and he's enacting his revenge, and in classic Aiden fashion, going overboard with it. He'll kill for his friends, because he's already accustomed to the thought of ending a life.
I firmly believe he wouldn't kill someone if it directly correlated to his loved one/s getting hurt, but that doesn't mean the thoughts aren't there.
With my very limited understanding of the topic, based off brief research and a presentation from a criminal psychologist I attended to a couple of months ago, Aiden DOES fit the criteria of a psychopath (Hare Psychopathy Checklist, I recommend looking into it if you're not familiar). He doesn't fit everything, and some of it can be explained by his confirmed ADHD, but we also don't know everything about him as of right now (and headcanons are always fun anyway!)
Psychopaths don't have homicidal tendencies just because they are psychopaths, BUT a lot of their traits make murder (as well as other crimes) more likely to happen compared to a non-psychopath, which are also the things you've listed, for example lack of empathy (for phantoms and other people), impulsivity, and lack of remorse or guilt.
Most people will hesitate to be violent even when defending themselves or their loved ones, because we are very much controlled by our emotions (we know that hurting people, yk, hurts people). Psychopaths are often a lot more rational, because they are not affected by emotions as much (that is to say, psychopathy is a spectrum from what I know and isn't an actual diagnosis)
also, I think the 'swords' are just stun batons Aiden found earlier :D you can see a little bit of the electricity at the tips when he's taking down the phantoms! (which also means that he picked a weapon that does more torturing than killing...)
OHHHHH STUN BATONS y’know that makes sense, I looked back at the frame and didn’t realize the white streaks before lol
That guy electrocuted a phantom to death jfc somehow that makes it worse ????
His childhood neglect and likely social isolation (since he and his family traveled a lot, he probably never got long term friends or the proper social interaction) stunted his growth in some way, which has been shown time and time again that can absolutely can cause a child to develop mental / intellectual / personality / emotional (etc) divergences.
I’m seriously so excited to see how his character develops HFKVNEK
I mean we already know he’s suicidal in some way, or that he just wants to die but genuinely would never act on it, I wanna see what kinds of situations he would get himself into just to feel that thrill of taking another life
I love picking apart characters’ brains istg psychology is my favorite thing to dissect
i love you guys /p
something about the fact that aiden knew she was about to reach for him before he even awoke... something about the fact that aiden had sensed that someone was moving near him while he slept... something about the way his eyes were wide and panicked when he opened them... something about the way his first instinct was to defend himself..............................................................
or he's just a silly light sleeper!!1!
blah blah blah something something about taylor loving mechanics meanwhile her brother dies in a car accident something something blah blah
big fan of tyler depriving himself of anything beyond basic human needs, both as a way to focus on keeping his family afloat and as a traumatic response.
i say traumatic response in the sense that everything regarding their family was placed upon him after ethan's funeral. tyler had to set his own grief aside in order to find a way to raise himself and taylor without mariana's help, and when you've spent years without any anchor or guidance, when you're constantly living in survival mode, you tend to neglect everything else.
self-indulgence becomes off limits, especially when he has more important things to prioritize.
and what really hurts is how young he was when he made this decision.
so... you didn't have to make me sad. but you did. that was like... a conscious decision. how could you...? /silly

♡ tyler hernandez doubles / simps / big shippers dni! — basic dni + sexualizers of the main six.
@tylerslovely on discord / tiktok! follow me ᜊ
i feel like the person most likely to die is marianna hernandez... and if she actually does? i might legitimately start bawling. not only is she had a mental disadvantage, but she's the only person left of the twin's family other than each other. worst part? the twins won't know until they've all reunited. when they're supposed to be happy that they can see each other again. "where's... where's mom?" <- i can just imagine taylor saying that. and then all the adults still. everything is silent. and she snaps. i want to hear her SCREAM and RAGE and CRY and holy fuck. tyler would probably just give up. fall to his knees. look off into the corner... and just mentally leave.
i'm actually going to try and figure out where tyler and aiden end up. sooo... stay tuned.
they're probably going to be interrogated, done experiments on (mostly blood draws, is what i've collected from the other panels), etc. i don't think they would do anything particularly dangerous to the kids unless the cranes organization wants to attract bad attention from government authority figures. but hey? you never know.
okay im gna admit that your fic "emergency contact" almost did make me cry... HOW ARE YOU SO GOOD AT WRITING????
HELLO???? how can i form any coherent response to such a genuinely heartfelt compliment???
thank you for reading emergency contact and i'm so happy to know my writing was enough to render such a reaction from you!! ngl i have the biggest smile on my face right now <33
i aspire to write like you 🥹
whats ur music taste??
OHHHH BUDDY PAPERTICKETS I am so glad you asked! (+ thank you to rube-star and the anon who asked, too <33)
up until, maybe, two weeks ago, I've never actually checked what genres my favourite music artists usually prefer to do, but they are all almost exclusively indie folk! I am a big fan of indie folk, folk rock and alt folk... just all folk i suppose lmao. I am a very whimsical person frfr
have you ever heard of this amazing band called The Amazing Devil??? They, truly, live up to their name, because they are amazing !!!! They are great lyricists and absolutely stunning singers and musicians! Their songs are a lot of fun to analyze and interpret and daydream scenarios to!! + they literally invented singing about love I swear on my kneecaps, if you haven't heard Fair or Marbles or Chords or Welly Boots or Battle Cries or- dang this a long list... you have NOT heard a love (romantic, platonic, or familial) song before! I cannot recommend it enough to give them a try, especially if you're into acoustic music with awesome lyrics!
They also held an absolutely FENOMENALLLL performance a little over a month ago iirc, and I definitely recommend checking it out, even if it was silly and clumsy and definitely unprofessional in some places lmao! (here's a drive link to the audio of the performance: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mzi3toGLNzk1DSaE9C251IUkERAtAwW3/view?usp=drivesdk) the songs that I would recommend the most from the performance are The Drinking Song for the Socially Anxious (starting 2:52), Fair (starting 34:40), and Inkpot Gods (starting 1:07:32). Literally cannot recommend these songs enough, they are fenomenal and I listen to them for days on end!!! (you can hear somebody crying in the audio mid-way through Fair and honestly, completely fucking fair. Ha! See what I did there????)
Fun fact: Joey Batey, who is the male lead singer + plays like a whole bunch of instruments for the band, is the guy that plays Jaskier in the Netflix's adaptation of The Witcher! He is also the one that sings Toss A Coin To Your Witcher, if you're familiar! That's also where a big part of the the amazing devil fandom found out about the band (not me, though, I found out about them from a warrior cats-inspired oc map call that never got finished.......)
They're also going to be releasing a new album (the last one came out in 2021) fairly soon, actually! They didn't specify the date yet, but they did say that it's almost done and that we should possibly anticipate it either later this year or early next year and I'm so dang excited!! (They also showed off one of the unreleased songs from the newest album during the performance, which starts at 50:50 in the audio file) Alright, enough of the amazing devil (that's a lie, there could never be too much of the amazing devil!!), I'm just going to go through some honorary mentions (in no particular order): Big fan of The Crane Wives!! They have a very whimsical feel to them even if they're not singing about happy times, and they're very fun to daydream to! My favourite song of theirs is Discovery, and I actually relate to it a lot and it's one of the songs I would say I would associate with myself if I were a character lmao I talked about Gigi Perez multiple times here (and actually dropped an entire analysis of her album At The Beach, In Every Life as Tyler's / Ashler album, which you can read here!)
veryyyyyy big fan of The Oh Hellos!!! They have a somewhat similar feel to The Amazing Devil (not quite the same, though). My favourites from them are Constellations, Second Child Restless Child, Torches, Hello My Old Heart, and Passerine! Also love Adrianne Lenker and the entire 'songs' album!! lastly (but not leastly! (that's not a word lmao)), Flatsound!! I've talked about him a couple of times here! He's awesome, his songs are very raw and full of feelings, and so many of his songs are incredibly underrated! (The ones I listen to being: It's Thursday January 12th and This Is the Last Time I'll Talk About Drowning, Summer or Spring, You're An Artifact, I Exist I Exist I Exist, I Hope You're Okay, To See You Alive, and the entire If We Could Just Pretend album!!)
thank you for coming to my ted talk
OH MY GOD YOU GOT ME AT ADRIANNE LENKER. DUDE I LOVE ALL OF HER SONGS THEY'RE SO DEEP AND MEANINGFUL AND POETIC AND GORGEOUS AUEGUHUHHHH--
also if you like adrianne lenker, you should listen to big thief!! it's a band she's apart of!!!
+ the other songs you said sound so cool... i might just have to give them a listen 😉
