Judge She Did All Of That But I Don't Care And She Looked Good While Doing It - Blog Posts

My friend Mirror, first of all, it's so good to see you!! I hope you're doing well!! Also please don't worry about taking too long on my asks! It's always a pleasure seeing you, and thank you so much for tagging me :D

Btw not to sound insane but this was my most normal reaction when I saw this:

My friend, my friend, you went hard. My silly little ask, my silly idea, got me DRAWINGS, got me PHYSICAL EXAMPLES, IT'S BAFFLING!!!!! LFNDIISNWEIJFUFJ I'M SCREAMING THE NOISES I HAD TO HOLD BACK BECAUSE IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT HERE I WAS GOING INSANE

The fact that Aster absolutely despises obnoxious people (he's just like me fr), also him using his military connections and skills on the Northwest's or anyone that wants to harm the people he cares about?? If that man really wanted to he a villain he could holy shit. The fact that Cleopatra (who is a cat) is better treated than a literal child is genuinely sad, my girl deserved better :((

And thank god this man has friend, imagine being in this specific line of work and being alone, I would've gone insane. Definitely excited to see his comrades in the future!

AND MAMA'S POWER'S?????? The way she has her own way of caring about her Contractors omg, I have so many mixed feelings about it, i love it. Seeing what those tattoos can do when she uses her powers is- definitely unnerving. Restraining is one thing, thorns coming out of your body?? SUCKING YOUR BLOOD?? It's not really hard to forget that she's a powerful entity considering the most of what we see her, but man seeing her "questionable" morality when it comes to her children and what she can do with her powers is so cool to see and explore (for some reason, I can't help but remember the flower Rafflesia arnoldii when I first saw the chestburster, a flower that looks and smell likes meat).

And Aster reaching retirement and being able to visit his friends, siblings and spend time with his mom... Man just shoot me already/j. He absolutely deserves it after everything he went through, I don't care what anyone says. Reading and comprehending his lore and everything that he's done or has gone through is already saddening, knowing that he was a SICK BABY?? My guy was suffering since the first moments of existence and it's not even a joke D'': I just know Stan was practically living in that hospital while he was there (also the drawing of baby Aster.... KSODKF HE'S SO TINY MY HEART 💔💔)

My friend I truly cannot thank you enough for these amazing answers oh my god. I honestly lost count of how many times I reread this, it is so well done and explained, truly an amazing work. And again please don't worry about answering my ramblings too fast, take as much time as you can!! Take care my friend 🩵🩵 and have some doodles I made inspired by your amazing answers

Hello Mirror!! How are you my friend :D aaaa thank you so much for answering my ask!! I hope you're doing okay, the end of the month is always stressful, so don't feel bad if you need to take some time to answer my ramblings :)

Definitely curious for how Aster got the NORTHWEST of all people to give up their will and especially Pacifica, I also wonder: how is his relationship with the other Contracted? Do they tolerate each other? Genuine friendships or get togethers? Or distrustful of each other (even though they're all bound by Mama. Wonder what would happen if a fight happened with the people in her circle, would she punish them??)

But omg the thought of all of the half-siblings seeing Aster as their big brother (not just because he's older, but because he technically, acts and is considered family by them makes my heart melt) is so cute. Man not only has his mom but also acquired god knows how many siblings in the way (I can't help but be reminded by Courage the Cowardly Dog, Aster has this serious face you almost think he doesn't care/is detached to most thing, when everything he does is out of care and love OUGH–)

But I also raise this, imagine them going through some books (either trying to find something idk) and one of them just come across a photo album. So everyone's just surrounding the thing, curious to what they'll see (and also blackmail material) and they just see photos of this extremely cute kid, chubby cheeks and everything, fluffy and curly brown hair and a shy smile; sitting on a mullet Stan's lap, smiling while pointing at a camera. When they show it to Stan, who laughs and eyes shine with warmth he just says:

"It's Darlan – or Aster as you call him."

And everyone's just ":OOO" bc holy shit. Aster, built like an unity, taller than all of them, blood and scars on his hands, who fights with the calculation of a predator, every part of his body covered with scars and spots, face riddled with age, was this innocent looking kid. And he looked so small too, fitting perfectly in Stan's arms when he was a toddler and a baby. They feel even worse when they hear of his heart problems. Aster feels a bit weirded out when his siblings just stare at him with this soft look in their faces for some weeks.

(And when Stan comes to them with an album of Aster's teen years; Aster, who's in another room of the house, feels a chill down his spine for some reason)

Also this was wholeheartedly inspired by these images

Hi Ilumi! I am terribly sorry for not being able to reply your ask as fast as I usually would, but I wanna prepare some artworks to support them, so here are your answers down below. I hope your college life is smooth sailing as ever! I'll tag you up as well if you have yet to receive a notification @iluminated-goat :

The way Aster can deceive the Northwests of all of their fortunes and parental rights to Pacifica is a mixture of his bulshitting deception skills and a bit of blackmail using his past connections (& Mama, of course). He has committed several war crimes back in Afghanistan for the government, he is smart enough to make some off-the-scenes connections for some extra cash. His ruthless skills can make some past enemies of Stan to stay clear away from Gravity Falls.

Besides, he pities Pacifica in some way. His darling Cleopatra is treated with more self-respect compared to the little girl. And the Northwests have pissed off a lot of people for generations, so it is better that the girl does not get involved in the bloody legacy - by the time he’s gone, he made sure there will no longer be a Northwest at all.

Aster has his fair share of relations among the other Contractors; some he can get along with, some he wants to murder immediately. In the end, he has his own group of friends that he can get along with, drink some beer with after a mission and listen to gossip from. They even knew Aster’s bio mom, though they tease him about how he’s currently a child to a teen mom. I’ll pile up his comrades in the future, they’re a mix of my new OCs and my favourite characters from different fandoms.

After millennia of abducting and claiming beings from every multiverse, Mama knows a thing or two (or maybe more) about parenting children and adults. She is aware of how bad relations could jeopardise the progress of any mission, so she has to be very careful about who she assigns within a group.

And now, let me explain to you about the Contract Curse. As I have previously stated, every Contractor will have a tattoo mark placed on any part of their body (except on embarrassing places like the buttocks or the lower back because Mama has standards and wants them to have some self-respect) as a sign of her claim towards them.

Whenever her Contractors act out irrationally or quarrel against one another, briars will come out from these specific cut wounds and bind the entire body painfully. These briars can braid together to form hands to pin them down. Usually, Mama only needs to summon the briar collar to keep them in line.

Should they ever betray Mama, well as you can see here, the briars will choke them by the neck, devour their ENTIRE blood supply within their body and forcibly bloom out through the chest, the process is gory like the chestburster alien.

Usually, a life like his would not be a happy one. Aster has to pay his penance through servitude to Mama, but she tries to relieve his sadness by letting him visit Anne Nieve. It took a long while, by the time he had connected his half-siblings and reunited with his mom, the Axolotl and Mama had pardoned him.

(In logical case, Aster has retired to the Afterlife and living his retirement peace with his mom where others can visit him anytime)

Retirement Afterlife is nice, if you ever get the chance to talk to him. He has good friends and half-siblings, two mothers that love him to the end, a daughter feline that he cherishes like the moon, what more could he ask for? He chicken dinner'd this shit and now he reap his rewards, after millenia time passes he guess…

Those chills are a valid danger response, I'll say. It has saved his life too many times he had counted, well except that moment where he lost his right eye - but that’s not the point! But nothing can save him from his own mother - not even from embarrassing pictures to his friends and half-siblings!

And thank you so much for the lovely questions, I had a blast answering them! I am also inspired by your pictures of the baby lamb so here's a small sketch of baby Aster (he was a sick baby btw)! Love you as always! ❤️
