Sif!

Hello everybody :) this is my super fun blog where i do whatever I want. Which mostly ends up being MAKING ART FOR/YAPPING ABOUT THE THINGS I LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!

About me:

Name's Sif (<- what I'd also MOST prefer to be called, but you're allowed to call me Feather, Featherhead, etc.)

My pronouns are they/them and it/its

I'm physically disabled and AuDHD

I make digital art, write fanfic (my Ao3 is FeatherHe4d), etc.

(I also do photography! You can find that and my collage work @f34therheadz-photos !)

Beep beep I have another delivery of nonsense for you all. Straight from the oven.

Bonus:

I imagine Kale always had his eye set on his mother's position. He always expected her to pass the company down to him at some point (I mean, why wouldn't he?) and spent basically all his free time as a teenager/young adult preparing himself for that to happen.

Roxanne, though, was always incredibly evasive on the topic. She stopped saying 'no' when Kale asked, but she certainly never said 'yes.' It caused a lot of problems between them. Especially when everyone else on Campus started wondering if Kale would ever inherit the company.

(Kale assumed he was always denied because he wasn't ready. Or because Roxanne thought he wasn't ready. He wanted to prove her wrong, and show that he was something to be proud of.

Roxanne, on the other hand, knew she wasn't ready to put down the work she started. She was well aware of Kale's ambitions, but she could also tell his focus on running Vandelay was for the sake of external validation instead of for the reasons she even started the company in the first place. (Which, one could argue, might have been mitigated if they spent any significant amount of time together. But. Well..) Selfish as some of her reasons might have been, she couldn't in good conscience let him take over. (Also he's still like. Real young when all of this is going on! Young enough to not know himself fully. I'm sure that had to factor into some of it, what with Rox being well familiar with what it's like to suddenly have this huge thing on her hands as a young adult.) I can imagine her trying to dissuade him or encouraging him to explore more options than just Vandelay-- though it did basically nothing.)

Kale got a sort of 'trial run' as CEO when Peppermint was first born. Roxanne worked remotely, keeping an eye on things from a distance, but Kale really did a lot of work. (I imagine he did way more than he was asked, claiming he only wanted his mother to focus on the baby.. while really hoping she'd see how well he could handle the company and finally pass it down to him)

And once he got a taste of what he wanted? Just could not let it go. Even after Roxanne returned properly to work, Kale became more insistent. His hatred toward living in his mother's shadow worsened, and his anger likely did as well. Then when Peppermint got older (and the favoritism more apparent), Kale started to wonder if he was going to get passed over in favor of his baby sister (which... honestly, he probably was, with the way things were going)

But Peppermint ran away. Cut contact. Kale saw an opportunity. He tried to ask nicely, but he was only ever shot down.

Summary of my day

Back for more. Chai-centric edition.

(Hello I'd like to preface this post by saying 1. Despite the probably aggressive tone of this post, I am completely joking, and 2. I have mobility issues, and they were very noticeable for me lately, which is why I thought to make this post. Ok let's all laugh together now)

I have no idea why, but I was reminded of this one specific ramp in R&D that makes my blood boil every time I see it.

Who. Who approved this?????? Why is it so steep???? I am NOT making it up that without help.

Then I fell down a rabbit hole.

Why are all these ramps so steep????? And why are there no handrails in the majority of them?? NOT TO MENTION (though they're not pictured) that there are stairs usually right after these ramps (which feels counterintuitive)

And then this. This feels problematic. Bc the majority of BK/old Vandelay models have wheels instead of legs, and would thus have the same issues with mobility as, for example, a wheelchair user.

Korsica, honey, I'm gonna hold your hand when I say this. I physically cannot go up the stairs without being in pain or needing prolonged breaks. Also have you seen how TALL THE SECURITY BUILDING IS????? Please.

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

Ok so like. As much as I COULD say a comic book/animated series/literally anything (because I WILL take anything. I am ravenous and will eat up whatever I'm given)

Hear me out. Hologram concert.

IM JUST SAYING IM JUST SAYING HEAR ME OUT HERE. How cool would it be to hear some songs off the ost LIVE???? WITH CHAI (at least appearing/animated to be) PLAYIN EM????? Think about it think about it

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

FORGIVE ME THIS IS PROBABLY GONNA BE KINDA NITPICKY!!!!!

I suppose I kinda wish she offered a genuine apology for how she acted toward Chai in the beginning of the game? I get where she's coming from, and her actions/growth/development more than make up for her abrasiveness in the beginning of the game (its literally only for the first. 2 maybe 3 levels i think? And then she starts chilling out). But still, i feel like the explicit "I'm sorry" would really solidify her growth and willingness to maintain the relationships with her friends/Chai. Because saying sorry is just as important as changing and being better! Saying that shows that you know where and how you've done wrong, that you acknowledge it, and that you are consciously putting effort into changing.

Idk maybe that's just me..

OR I kinda wish her and Kale's relationship were a little more developed outside of "grr i hate him so bad." Again, I GET IT, and it probably would have messed with the vibes of the game as a whole (they still have things they need to do. We can't spend time diving deep into a relationship that is basically over). But if there was maybe just an extra little hideout dialogue option about it (what did she mean by "There's probably nothing I can say to change his mind" just before Track 11???????? Was her original plan to talk to him????? THE PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW. I NEED MORE)

I also dont like a number of her outfits (and i have incredibly specific critiques.) But that's not a "just for Peppymint" thing. I have very specific critiques for everyone else's outfits as well

21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

I don't know why, but I really enjoy diving into her insecurities. Girlie has a ton of em, and her inclination to keep a lot of it to herself (if she can help it) is quite appealing.

I also like giving her some nervous habits (toying with her hands, brushing her hand over the shaved part of her head, etc). I actually make some fun parallels to Roxanne through these small gestures (*cough hack* hello Finding A Groove).

Mmmmmmand it's a little thing, but Peppermint cusses the most out of anyone I write. This is more of a "I just feel like this is the case" kind of thing than anything else. I try not to overdo it (cus that is a big pet peeve of mine), but it IS a pattern I have noticed.

Something I don't like? Hm..
