applegumi replied to your post ““You’re just as bad as him” - my mum when i told her im not interested...”
even if he was going to apologize, that doesn't take away everything he put you through. they can't get mad at you for not sticking around for an apology after how much of his crap you've put up with.
I tried to tell her this but shes making it out like i have nothing to be angry with him about, despite him being violent, insulting me, calling me a vegetable just because she wasn’t there. It really feels like her ulterior motive is to take this out on me, she had a good day today and got her hair done so this confrontation only happened because he called her (or she called him idk, idc.) She said to me he wants me to unblock him on my phone so he can text me and I said I wasn’t willing to do that for my mental health because every time he does that I near have a panic attack. She just doesn’t respect what I have to say at all, and then when I get frustrated she’ll start getting angry and have a tantrum because I’m ‘shouting at her’ (and shes 10x louder than I am at any given time lol). I can’t point out when she’s being a hypocrite either because that’ll just make things worse for me. I can’t win!!
I know at the heart of this nobody can make me do anything. So I won’t be intimidated into speaking to him.
🍟 Favourite fast food place? God i eat so much asdfghnj Burger King is my fav, but I also like taco bell at times!! Checkers is super good too its very cheap.

@toasty-suzuya: sounds fake but okay lmao. I was actually looking into P2 the other day because I hardly see them talked about and wanted to give them a try, but apparently there are 2 games?? but only one of them was up on psn :(
@applegumi: I didn’t even feel bad for yosuke, that’s what you get for dragging my ass around and talking to girl who were obviously uncomfortable and also trying to ask a little girl for her phone number?? seriously??
also just let kanji say he likes boys, just let that be okay atlus
applegumi replied to your post: So I heard you want to write a trans character
Yo!! I’ve actually got a question on this topic. I’ve asked a few people but I figure more input can never hurt. Say you have a trans character who transitioned later in life but want to show scenes from their childhood. What would you say is the most respectful way to go about that? My Sylvhani Lavellan is trans and I haven’t even given her a dead name or anything like that because I never thought it would come up—but I was trying to write a fic about her meeting her best friend in her youth, and I started stumbling when I got to dialogue and realized her friend wouldn’t be calling her Sylvhani yet. Any thoughts?
That’s a good question!
Usually, I’m not very much in favour of showing pre-transition moments, period. It’s usually uncomfortable for everyone involved. In “canon” media, I’ve only seen it used as a method to add to the tragedy that is a trans person’s life, and I don’t trust it. However, writing about your own OC, especially exploring your DA character, is a different matter. It’s your own personal journey with this character and you’re writing it more for yourself than your cis audience who just loves to know what a trans person’s life was like before.
So, I’d have to say to use a nickname, perhaps - lethallin/an is a good term the DA verse has given us, and since it’s not even a 100% fixed-gender term, it helps even more. Maybe have Sylvhani give her friend a false name when she meets them for the first time - I used to come up with several wrong-gender aliases for myself before I knew I was trans because I didn’t feel comfortable in my own name, and thought the name was the problem, not its gender. Nothing stops Sylvhani from doing the same. Point that out by having her give another name to another person; make it clear that none or any of the names people use for her could be the one that was given to her at birth. If you think that’s OOC, describe the feeling she gets when she gives her birth name, and not the name itself, and switch to a nickname afterwards. Maybe have her use the name Sylvhani for the first time with her new friend, or have them name her, if there’s not a part in her story already that gives her her name.
My most important piece of advice, however, is about the pronouns. You should really not misgender her in the narrative. Other people will, since she’s not come out to them yet; her mother or Keeper or friend or passing shem will misgender her, and that sucks, and I will feel uncomfortable reading that, but that’s just how it goes. YOU, however, should very much not use male pronouns to refer to her. She’s an existing character, you know her gender even if she doesn’t yet, and anyone who reads it knows it’s a flashback for her. If the narrative will not respect its trans characters as their actual gender, there’s no reason to believe it will respect them in any other way. You’re not actually publishing it, of course, so there will be little harm done in how the Publc sees trans people and so on, but it really shows the mindset behind the story.
I hope that was helpful, and thanks for reaching out before you went for it!
IM STILL SO CURIOUS ABOUT THE CUTE PRINCELING BOY but tell us about Emmerson!! :D
Ahhh thank you, Hannah!! ;7; I can do both for you!!
My little Princeling is a very new character so I’m still figuring some things about him and his story out, but I’ll list what I’ve got so far! This actually helped me figure out quite a bit about him, so thank you again haha! And Emmerson is my most good good boy of all my characters so get ready for that haha. ;;
Under a cut because together they’re rather long!
Princeling:
Full Name: Ralis — his name will be fuller than that, but I have to figure out some things related to his Kingdom, first. He is, however, known as the Star Prince (the astronomical body, not like he’s in the limelight haha).Gender and Sexuality: Boy, and I can guarantee Ralis has never thought about his sexuality or even dating a day in his life. This is less due to him really being aromantic or anything (though he might be ace because most of my characters are idk) and more because of the following factors: 1. he doesn’t have a lot of prospects where he’s from, 2. he assumed from day one he’d be in a political marriage, 3. he’s actually relatively young, like 14-16 depending on how writing the story goes, and 4. despite his young age he’s actually very driven and focused on the state and wellbeing of his country more than anything else.Pronouns: He/HimEthnicity/Species: Sky…. person….? I don’t have a name for his people yet hahaBirthplace and Birthdate: He was born in the Kingdom of the Sky from a Star but I haven’t picked a birthday for him yet.Guilty Pleasures: Humans! He’s incredibly interested in the humans below and how they live because he’s been so far removed from them due to political reasons, and he’s curious about them and if they can be useful towards his goals as a Prince. He observes them often and his story begins when he gets a little too close.Phobias: THIS IS A REALLY GOOD QUESTION that I honestly haven’t figured out for him yet, I’ll have to think about it!!What They Would be Famous For: Well he is the prince of the entire Sky, Day, and NightWhat They Would Get Arrested For: Probably Trespassing. ;; Ralis forgets that being a Prince doesn’t mean he’s the Prince of everything. ;;OC You Ship Them With: There is one, maybe! But he doesn’t have a name yet. He’s human and gets up to hijinks both with and without Ralis, though, and definitely always BECAUSE of Ralis.OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Mmmm I’m still figuring out the story, but probably Somnus, who’s royalty from another kind of Domain… thing, other than the Sky.Favorite Movie/Book Genre: He wouldn’t have access to much but it would definitely be something with themes of political intrigue and espionage.Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: The weak and oblivious prince/princess that needs saving. Ralis works hard to NOT be this trope, and yet he finds he’s often still viewed this way. He hates it, and would hate seeing it in media, too.Talents and/or Powers: He’s fairly persuasive and charismatic, and decent at acting. Incidentally but not really related to anything, he’s also good at weaving. As for powers, he has a cloak that allows him to decent the distance from the Sky to Earth safely (and also disguises him as a shooting star as he goes!), and he has a tattoo running up his right arm that allows him to use… kind of light-related powers? I’m still figuring out the mechanics of that and what it does, because I keep changing my mind about the purpose I want it to serve.Why Someone Might Love Them: Some people definitely just love him Because He’s The Prince, and he’s not into that. He just wants to be known as Ralis. But he’s really trying his best to think of what’s the best for his Kingdom and his Court, and although he doesn’t know much about Humans, he is always trying his best to learn and understand things that are foreign to him (even though sometimes he might need to be convinced that he didn’t already understand something in the first place). Why Someone Might Hate Them: Some people definitely just hate him Because He’s The Prince, and he’s not into that either. But also, he’s cocky as heck and full of himself due to his position, and as a result of how he was raised kind of judgmental even though he tries to mean well. He’s also very brash and impulsive, prone to acting on plans without thinking them through literally at all, and this can get both himself and other people he’s with in trouble, or make them angry.How They Change: Over the course of his story Ralis learns so much about the world outside his Court in the Sky that it would be impossible for him not to change. He becomes more empathetic and a more balanced leader, eventually actually being able to strategically assess what’s needed for his Kingdom rather than just fool-heartedly rushing into what he thinks is right.Why You Love Them: I’m not gonna lie I’m just really excited to draw his character design HAHA but also I’m fond of young and brash character-types, as well.
Emmerson:
Full Name: Emmerson Lu (Full Disclosure: I’ve never been able to settle on a last name for him, and literally picked this just now. I think I like it for him, though.)Gender and Sexuality: Boy, gayPronouns: He/HimEthnicity/Species: HumanBirthplace and Birthdate: Fictional city in Northern California, November 17thGuilty Pleasures: He LOVES animals!? Emmerson volunteers part time at the local animal shelter after school, not because he needs to fill any kind of time quota but because he genuinely enjoys it. I don’t know if that’s really a ‘guilty’ pleasure because that’s also community service, but he really loves taking care of them and helping get them adopted into loving homes.Phobias: Losing those he loves, and although it’s not to the point of a phobia necessarily, he’s also scared of forgetting people and things that are important to him.What They Would Be Famous For: Emmerson is actually on the football/soccer team! I don’t think he’s really good enough to become famous for it, but he’s pretty alright and has a great relationship with his teammates because of it!What They Would Get Arrested For: Emmerson is actually the most cautious, voice-of-reason character in this story for the most part ;;;; If he gets arrested it’s absolutely for being an accomplice to Todd.OC You Ship Them With: Todd!OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Clair, I guess…? None of the characters in Skulk are very violent LOL but Clair thinks Emmerson is a bad influence on his brother Todd. (I forgot to put Clair’s name in my tags, whoops.)Favorite Movie/Book Genre: He actually likes superhero/super team genres, because he hates media where people die, and likes the idea of them still getting saved even if it’s an ridiculously disastrous situation where that wouldn’t be realistic.Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: See above, so for that reason he doesn’t like any war/disaster movies or tv shows with the ‘everybody dies’ cliche. It’s too sad for him.Talents and/or Powers: This is an only slightly-supernatural slice-of-life story and Emmerson is human so nothing too exciting, but aligning with the above he’s very good with animals, and his patience with them makes him a good listener and (usually) level-headed advice-giver.Why Someone Might Love Them: Emmerson is a good good boy!! ;7; For much of what’s listed above. He cares very deeply about his friends and helping them and does his best to generally be nice and good to everyone. His Momma raised him well.Why Someone Might Hate Them: Emmerson is actually also incredibly stubborn, to the point of having a bit of a temper about it sometimes. He can get very heated about certain subjects that are extremely personal to him, and although I mentioned he’s usually pretty level-headed about other things. Although, this distanced-approach can make him seem as though he lacks empathy (even though he’s actually trying very hard to help and come up with what he thinks the best solution to a problem is, he just doesn’t always express the emotions he’s coming from).How They Change: Emmerson suffers a huge loss at the beginning of the story, so despite of a lot of what I’ve described here, he’s actually very sullen, depressed, and closed off when things begin. It also makes him a little more reckless and irritably stubborn about certain things he needs to open his mind to, which he’ll work to overcome much with Todd’s help over the course of the story.Why You Love Them: He is a soft and sweet boy and doesn’t deserve to suffer, but whoops. ;; Also, most of the characters in Skulk represent something about human interaction that’s important to me and/or that I wish people (including myself) were better about, so in Emmerson’s case it’s a lot of taking time to understand yourself and be vocal about how you feel rather than bottling it up, and also the importance of not being too stubborn.
