Hello!

Chel / 30 / they/he/it/ey +others

BYF

- despite my best efforts i am a walking anxiety disorder. my bad.
- most active on discord ngl ( @ bokuranokizuna)
- frequently referred to as Peepaw /Old Man / etc. designated internet old or whatever.
  > PLEASE DO MIND THE AGE like i'm not gonna be all "minors dni" or whatever (i don't really share nsfw stuff publicly anyway) but if you personally don't feel comfy w/ interactions from my grown adult ass then do what you gotta do. no judgment here!
- ship discourse (you know what i mean) unwelcome here, i find it particularly exhausting and overall nuanced in a way most people don't really discuss. so long as you're respecting other people's boundaries, tagging your shit appropriately, not harassing people for their preferences, etc, then you can (PROBABLY) be here
  > THAT SAID if you ship characters fifteen or under with grown-ass (job-wielding) adults and/or you ship blood siblings i'd prefer you stay away.
- just in general, like, if you're not a bigot/asshole you're fine

INTERESTS

- A3!
- the other thing????
- Dragon Quest (especially 11)
- Kingdom Hearts
- Project Sekai (very very lightly)
- Pokemon
- JRPGs (more generally speaking)
- Rain Code (i don't discuss it a lot but boy does it haunt my brain)
- dnd / other ttrpgs

mobage for theater kids

- Faves: Tsuzuru, Sakuya, Masumi, Misumi, Kazunari, Guy, Tsumugi, Tasuku
  > Play Faves: Tomohisa, Mordred, Merlin (derogatory), Kiel, the Phantom of the Fucking Opera?????
  > Fave Ships: tsuzumisukazu, sakumasu, keysmash poly (tz sk ms kz mz), tsuzusaku, taiten, kyuki, madoka/kaoru, kaoru/banri, juza/tsuzuru, there are so many help me
  > Fave playverse ships: romijuli, merlmord (derogatory, they're like a fucking car crash), quartet poly (especially katsumi/yuu and yuu/youta), probably something i'm forgetting

THINGS OF NOTE:
- pls don't discuss w/ me: ships b/w y1 minors (under 18) with a 3+ year age gap (14/17, 16/19, you get it), chikage/hisoka(/august), citoguy, chikaizu, anything covered by the byf guidelines (obviously), tsuzu misu kazu or mizu with homare sakyo azuma or guy
  > PLAY SHIPS are a little more funky given that actors may be playing characters of different ages, use your best judgment given other guidelines. also pls no hyodosaka play chara ships or teacher/student relationships thanks
- i'm super picky about the following ships so it's kinda fifty-fifty: juban, tenyuki, itaizu, bansaku, azamuku, 102, sometimes tzkz (i am SO PICKY I'M SORRY), probably something else I'm forgetting
- i feel like sometimes sakuya gets, like, aggresively babied by fans, especially compared to juban or even the y1 16s, so uh be cautious around that. i can elaborate if necessary

sports for theater kids

- please help me i don't want to be here either. it's not even like an "i'm gay" thing that came AFTER the emotional investment
- i mostly know about wwe BUT. i am not currently watching because bringing back A GUY NAMED IN AN ACTIVE LAWSUIT is disgusting. i'm watching aew now and boy am i experiencing it.
- i almost never tweet about it, maybe like once in a blue moon i'll yap about something or rt/reblog/whatever some fan-art but it's usually just me yapping to my fiance/friends or on a tumblr sideblog. wrestling twitter scares me and i want nothing to do with it. they're so mean to my faves for no fucking reason dude
- WWE Faves: Damian Priest (i saw like one promo and was immediately prepared to go to war for his honor or something idk man), Rhea Ripley (self-explanatory) (terror twins my beloveds), Jey Uso (he won me over man) (terror trio my beloveds), Sami Zayn (also self-explanatory, probably actually tied for first, i have a pic with him he's such a delight), Bayley (she is so fucking funny), Liv Morgan (i love her and i want to punt her across the room) (lovingly), Jordynne Grace (have you SEEN her and/or her twitter), Bianca Belair (made me cry during elimination chamber), Naomi (already loved her but the current heel run is SO good), Lyra Valkyria (birb...). not entirely ordered after the first two i just order them like that out of convenience. really though i like most wrestlers. most of them. stares at logan paul (derogatory). stares at tessa blanchard (derogatory). stares at brock lesnar (SO derogatory)
  > AEW: The more I learn about Hangman Adam Page the more enamored/confused I get. Also I utterly adore Willow Nightingale and Kris Statlander. And also now every time I see MJF post anything I become consumed with the urge to punt him like a football. (LOVINGLY. LOVINGLY. HE IS VERY GOOD AT HIS JOB)
- i like meta analysis and this somehow sates the meta analysis part of my brain. does that make sense. i mean also i'm gay for a decent portion of any given roster but you know what i mean.
  > i don't actively ship anything - i don't have a problem w/ it as long as it's purely kayfabe, though i will absolutely look at you funny if you ship the terror twins - but i will occasionally make jokes if it's funny enough.

jrpg hell

- no troublerouser is not getting updated again yes you can still talk to me about it. i started writing a whole roast but it was really mean-spirited considering i don't even dislike the writing, i've just grown as a writer and every time i tried to write more i became aware of my questionable choices. also i think at some point i was just writing to get to the act 2 octagonia rewrite, which to be fair did in fact fucking rule.
- number one luminary defender for the past five years none of you get him like i do. he's not a blank slate i don't care what the writers say he just has anxiety
- fuck the booga plotline all my homies hate the booga plotline
- act 3....not defender per se because i think the execution is kinda [gestures vaguely] especially in terms of gameplay but narratively it's justified and i will die on that hill
- SHIP STUFF:
  - i love el with serena, faris and gemma (though the latter is less often) and honestly i love them all with each other.
  - i'm not opposed to shipping veronica with other characters (bar serena) but ONLY if it's like post-canon or an AU where she is her full-grown self. if this is happening i like veronica/jade a lot <3 and sometimes ronnie/gemma i think they'd play off each other well.
  - the age thing is really complicated because the localization only gives proper ages to jasper and hendrik and then just labels el as being "of age" whereas the jp version calls him (and by proxy gemma and faris) 16 and then the CHARACTER BOOK gives erik a whole age that's like just enough of a gap from el's to make the jp version age gap Controversial and then doesn't give most of the girls (and sylv?) ages at all???????, generally i assume that most ppl using localized names are gonna assume el (and by proxy gemma and faris) is 18 but still i don't wanna hear about those three w/ the knight trio.
    - luminerik is like???? fine????? as long as you're not using the jp-specific ages?????? i am super picky about it though. erik/gemma and erik/faris are fine though
    - i have no idea what age the girls are but i assume the twins are close enough in age to el/gemma/faris to not be an issue????? jade is a separate beast but in theory i like jade/gemma
