#i love batman and its characters so much i wish i could do fanart but it's a really difficult style for me to draw 😖😖😖

[stabbystiletto]

Oh my god yall heads up yea i been drinkin a bit this night but oh my god

Like in not into cars or vehicles or shit like that but oh my god whenever the batmibile shows up im just like 😭😭😭😤😤😤🤘🤘🤘

(yes i cried over a fictional car don't judge me lololololol 😆😆😆😅😅😅)

Also I'm putting this under a read more cause potential spoilers for the new batman movie??

TLDR; the batman was a good movie i recommend it i kinda ended up ranting but it was good!! 🦇🦇🦇👍👍👍

Batman represents hope. If he was just edgy and cynical and shit he would be a supervilkain. But he had this super traumatic experience as a child and ended up being up like "you know what this happened not just as a result of one person's choices but as a result of an entire system if corruption and bullshit that's affecting everyone in this city and in gonna do what i can to stop it"

Like it's cool when it's this whole conspiracy to murder the waynes but my personal favorite is when it's just joe chill, just one dude in hard times who made a shitty decision. And bruce is able to see past his own pain to realize the larger problem at work. And yeah this movie went more in the conspiracy direction but it still landed on the whole "batman represents hope for a broken city" thing and i love them for it 🥰🥰🥰 (like that whole "my parents taught me sometimes you die alone in a gutter" thing was an interesting take, but thats not a hero line, that's a villain line. Yeah on the exterior hes intimidating and sinister and even villainous-ish but at his core batman always has been a hero. He's about doing the right thing, for the greater good)

With his resources he coulda easily been a villain or focused solely on personal vengeance but the fact that he focuses on making Gotham a better place for the average citizen shows that he still has heart

Also look i dint have a whole lotta cishet ships that id call otp, like sure there's some pairs out there i like but i just don't feel that strongly about them i could probably count cishet otps on one hand and still have a couple fingers left but batcat is like. On that short list.

I just love them so much 🥰🥰🥰 They're both this broken disenfranchised individuals who are doing their best (yes Selena does her best mostly to benefit herself but whatever lololol she's not a bad person she's just not trying to save the world lololol 😆😆😆) and they prioritize their secret identities and who would better understand that then each other??

Anyways i love them and i was *somewhat* wellfed but not as much as i was expecting and the ending....

I dunno, I'll have to watch it again to make up my mind 😑😑😑

I don't want them to ride off into the sunset together but i want them to work together again?? I feel like batman returns got their dynamic down so good 😍😍😍

Sorry but i totally lost track of this post lololol 😆😆😆

#rant lol #shitpost lol 😆 #the batman lol #i love batman and its characters so much i wish i could do fanart but it's a really difficult style for me to draw 😖😖😖 #this could just be the alcohol talking but it was such a good movie 😆😆😆 #and i had such low expectations now lololol and i still feel like robert pattinson needs to bulk up a bit for the next film lol 😆😆😆 #drunk posting lol 😅😅😅🍺🍺🍺🥃🥃🥃 #i was kinda disappointed by ben afflecks batman not gonna lie but i was actually kinda pleased by this version #i feel like it's a good take on the character that doesn't forget what he's really about lol

-End of the year review-

Thanks for the tag @mr-nauseam :D

1. What fandoms did you create for?

Only Hetalia for now, this is probably the longest fixation I've had on something but I might write for other fandoms in the future (probably about Hannibal or Batman)

2. How many works did you make this year? Fics (posted on ao3 or tumblr or wherever), edits, gifsets, moodboards, playlists, fanart, vids, meta?

I only write hehe but I was able to post 17 fics last year, l wasn't used to writing oneshots but it's been fun to work on several projects.

3. What are you most proud of?

I am sooo happy with everything but I'mma pick five to be short.

1) Nerium Oleander, that fic has been both, hard to write and soooo self indulgent. It's a wild ride and has strayed a lot from the first outline draft but I'm glad for it.

2) White flame It's my treasured fic, it's reaching its end and it helped me improve my writing a lot. Also Natalya my beloved lol

3) You shall not fear. Ruspru is one of my comfort ships and Angel Ivan is something I didn't know I needed in my life, it's also a short and fun reading.

4) Dragon Roses it's probably my beloved oneshot, the one where I dive into fantasy AU without remorse, writing Arthur's and Alfred's interaction was a challenge too.

5) Sublime It's one of my softest fics, I simply loved the dynamic of this Itapan, it's set on cardverse with a sprinkle of yearning.

4. Any stats you wanna tell us about?

2021 is probably the year I've written the most, I wasn't expecting to do so considering other projects but It's been fun to participate on the ship weeks!

5. What inspired you this year? Any specific works or creators?

Ahh there's a bunch of songs that have helped me through out the year, for works well every single story I've read, there's a lot of talented writers in this fandom and the diversity of takes on the characters is astonishing, the AUs, the character studies, the historical takes are sooo interesting! I wish I could tag everyone but that would be too much lol

@prubun's fics and historical takes have always been an inspiration everytime I think of ruspru.

@fizzycherrycola has such a beautiful style and their take on England is just *cheff kiss*

@fireandiceland with the veggie burgers cannibalism discussion because along with @breitzbachbea incorporation metaphors and Kilgour's book have certainly put cannibalism into a new perspective, I can't wait to finish the book lol

6. What’s a piece you didn’t expect to make? Why?

Magnificent It was one of my first attempt at writing actual smut instead of chickening out lol I'm quite happy with how it turned out.

7. What are you excited to work on next year?

I want to branch out to other characters, probably work on some Itapan and RomeChu fics and of course keep on with Nerium Oleander and We need to talk.

Tag some people!

Apart from the one's already tagged lol @infusions-and-truths @crumpled--notes @emma-likes-to-write @koolkat9 @hwsforeignrelations if you want to~

Introducing the Spideychelle Recathon!

I really appreciated all of the hard work and dedication the Spideychelle fandom showed during this year’s Spideychelle Week and I really wanted to find a way to celebrate all of those fantastic creators in this fandom, including those who didn’t participate in the week but contribute to the fandom outside of it. A lot of fan events that are hosted on Tumblr focus on content creation and I wanted to create an event focused on content appreciation.

Then it hit me—a recathon, taking from the words recommendation and marathon; an event that encourages people to rec many fanworks over the course of the event. I’m surely not the first to come up with the idea, but I haven’t seen it in the Spideychelle fandom yet. I hope this event will be a success like Spideychelle Week has proven to be in the past and it becomes a staple for the fandom.

The event will take place in October across all thirty-one days. You do not have to participate for every day, however, and you can pick and choose based on the daily themes that have fanworks that you are passionate about and wish to reccomend to others. I’d like on the chosen day for particpants to create a rec list (it does not have to be a list if you only have one fanwork to rec) and tag this blog (@spideychelleweek) so that I can reblog the rec list. It’s also encouraged that you tag the creators’ you’re reccing and let them know you love their work! If the original creator has already posted the fanwork on Tumblr then you can also choose to reblog their original post and tag this blog, letting me know you’re reccing it.

I hope most of the prompts are self-explanatory, but if not then below the cut I’ll try to simply explain each one. If you have any questions about the prompts or the event then please send in an ask and I’ll answer as promptly as I can.

Day 01 | Classics: Older and beloved fanworks; the type that every fan should read/watch/see and is introduced to every new Spideychelle fan someway or another. These fanworks should have been posted before the release of Spider-Man: Far From Home.

Day 02 | Crossover/Fusion: Crossover is when two fandoms combine, such as a fanwork where Peter Parker meets Robert Patterson’s Batman, while fusion is where the fandoms are merged by implanting the characters of one setting into another, such as the ever popular Hogwarts AU.

Day 03 | Kiss: Fanworks involving kissing, such as a one shot about their first kiss or a fanart of a passionate kiss. Kissing doesn’t have to be the main focus of the work. For instance, if you think a 100k word fanfic has the best kiss scenes then rec it away even if it has 95k words where no kissing is involved.

Day 04 | MJ Backstory: In the MCU’s canon we don’t know a lot about MJ’s family or her life, but the fandom has explored and delved deep into MJ’s character so this slot is for fanworks that explore MJ’s backstory whether it be a down-to-earth depiction of her family or exciting backstory where MJ is a spy.

Day 05 | Fluff: A fanwork that is pleasant and makes you feel good, such as fanworks depicting cuddling or other affectionate actions though fluff isn’t limited to that.

Day 06 | Identity Reveal: Fanworks that explore Peter Parker’s secret identity and it being revealed to MJ (who may already know) or other characters.

Day 07 | Post-FFH: Fanworks that take place after Spider-Man: Far From Home and explore what happens after Mysterio revealed Peter Parker’s identity to the world.

Day 08 | Vids: All kinds of fanworks can be posted for each day, but I imagine most will end up being fics so this day is devoted solely to vids which are video edits often set to music using clips from the films.

Day 09 | Fix-It: For fanworks that “correct” canon events that are not liked by the fan(dom), such as fanworks where the Snap/Blip never happened, Tony never died, or whatever else that fandom seeks to correct through fanworks.

Day 10 | Favorite Creator(s): Spread the spotlight to specific creators whose fanworks you love.

Day 11 | Domestic: Fanworks involving the characters living everyday lives. Often involves marriage or children, but domestic fanworks don’t have to include that nor does domestic mean that Peter can’t have powers, since being Spider-Man is a normal part of his everyday life.

Day 12 | Angst: Fanworks that hit you in the feels by making you feel negative emotions, particularly saddness or fear.

Day 13 | No Spider-Man: Fanworks that depict Peter Parker as a normal human being without superpowers. Other characters can have superpowers, but Peter Parker cannot.

Day 14 | LGBT+: Fanworks that depict LGBT+ themes and/or characters such as Trans!Peter Parker or Bisexual!MJ. Those are just examples, so feel free to rec works that don’t fit those specific parameters as long as they are LGBT+ focused.

Day 15 | Underappreciated: Fanworks that are underappreciated, such as not having that much engagement from the fandom. I’ll let you determine what counts as underappreciated, but please don’t rec fanworks that have 1000 kudos and 50 comments. This day is about praising fanworks that get barely any praise.

Day 16 | Alternative Universe: Fanworks that alter elements of canon, such as College AUs, Coffee Shop AUs, Vampire AUs, Omegaverse AUs, Historical AUs, Soulmate AUs, and so, so, so many more.

Day 17 | Spider-Man 3: Fanworks that make you go, “this could be in the MCU’s Spider-Man 3,” whether it be fanart depicting an epic fight scene, a long fic plotting out a huge overarching narrative, a vid with a tight story, or whatever else you can think of. 

Day 18 | One Shots: Fanworks, typically fanfiction but it can include other mediums such as comics, that are standalone stories contained within a single chapter.

Day 19 | Hurt/Comfort: Fanworks involving a character(s) being hurt either emotionally or physically and then being comforted by another character(s). 

Day 20 | Self-Rec: Recommend a fanwork or fanworks that you created! Don’t be afraid to be proud of your work and I want everyone to shamelessly rec their fanworks that they’re proud of on this day.

Day 21 | Comic Elements: Fanworks that include elements from the Spider-Man comics that have yet to appear in the MCU, such as the Venom Symbiote or a reimagining of a classic scene/panel/storyline using the MCU’s version of the characters.

Day 22 | Art: A day to recommend your favorite pieces of fanart. This doesn’t just include drawn/painted art, but it can also include cosplay, sculptures, paper craft, and any other medium.

Day 23 | Missing Scene: Any fanwork that fills in a “gap” in the films and could reasonably be seen as canon compliant.

Day 24 | Five Things: A story structure that includes multiple scenes that are related to each other using a common theme. An example is “Five Time Peter & MJ Almost Kissed & The One Time They Did.” The story structure does not need to have exactly five and can have any number as long as it follows the typical structure.

Day 25 | Humor: Fanworks that are humorous and make you laugh.

Day 26 | Smut: Fanworks that depict sexual material of either a Mature or Explicit rating. 

Day 27 | Drabble: Fanfics that are exactly one hundred words long, but for this day I’ll accept less words or slightly more. And I also would like to see other mediums for this category such as vids that are less than thirty seconds. Generally, just fanworks that are fairly short in length.

Day 28 | Mental Health: Fanworks that depict mental illness, mental disorders, or neurodivergent headcanons. Examples include, but are not limited to, ADHD, Autism, Panic Attacks, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, etc.

Day 29 | Meta: Essays or analysis discussing the characters and/or relationship in the context of its portrayal in canon or fandom. 

Day 30 | New Fanwork: Fanworks that have only been recently posted. I won’t give an exact hard timeline for you to follow, but as a guideline I’d say it counts as new if it was posted in the past two months.

Day 31 | Free Day: Reccomend fanworks based on any theme (or no theme) that you want.

An Unfortunate Critique of Spiderverse - Part 1 (of 3)

Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse was a fun award-winning 2018 animated film with a basically unanimously positive fandom, regarded generally as both a masterpiece Spider-Man film and a remarkable animated film overall. And while I do not disagree with that, it definitely earned its spoils, it pains me a bit to bring up the reason(s) why I can’t call it the masterpiece that many claim. I like this film, but I don’t love it as much as others and I wanted to express why. And I will see to be critical, not cynical. Fair enough? Spoilers ahead for this... 2018 film that you should’ve seen already.

Part 1 ~ The Spiderverse Squad

Now believe me when I say that I enjoyed this trio. Spider-Ham wasn’t as funny as I figured, but he still stood out like Peni and Spider-Noir in a respectable way. I especially loved the fandom’s reaction to them with fanart and jokes galore. But on a look back, it dawned on me that while their presence was welcome, our writers blew the load too soon and wasted these characters. Roll with me, will ya?

If you come to know me, you’ll figure that characters are the element I find the most crucial of your story; you mentally can’t just throw in random heroes into the story unless they’re significant to the protag, story, or world as a whole. It’ll feel weird, like you have no coordination. And yeah, the B team adds to Spider-verse’s worldbuilding mechanic that is the multiple universes; it thematically makes sense that more than one Spidermun can exist. And additionally kicks ass, no objections here. The problem I argue comes when while they add to the world building, it honestly added little to our boy Miles’ story, and it’s that disconnect that makes the characters feel more unnecessary than before. This doesn’t help when things could’ve worked far better if it only involved Gwen and Beter. To explain this better, I wanna bring up a couple films that are similar to Spider-verse yet knew how to use their secondary characters, the first one being...

Kung Fu Panda, baby!

The furious five sans Tigress is about the same as Spider-verse’s B-Team where Po really doesn’t rely on them to both unleash his inner strength and face the final boss in the end. They’re his muse for enjoying martial arts. Po interacts with them a little more than Miles does with the others, but we still have that disconnect between the upcoming novice and the experienced. That disconnect however is counter-balanced by their significance in the story, not only in certifying the stakes that come with Tai Lung, but being the necessary crew to another important character: Tigress.

Tigress is not only a character that Po looks up to, she’s a character with something to prove herself. She puts down Po because she’s envious of the special treatment he’s involuntarily receiving and mirrors the villain Tai Lung before his descent to villainy. The movie would’ve probably been fine if the Furious Five didn’t exist and it was just Shifu and Po training together, but having the five, and Tigress especially, in the story adds a great triangle of interaction between Po and Shifu, Shifu and Tigress, and Tigress and Po. Which makes it all the more poignant when she runs away to face Tai Lung herself, stern in proving herself to both Shifu and Po. We know that she wouldn’t win against him, but that loss is added two-fold when the other four were there to support her. The others aren’t as cynical towards Po, but it’s understandable that they sided with Tigress, thinking their experience together will help them succeed. It makes sense that the four willingly fight with Tigress, and it’s reasonably daunting when Tai Lung is able to tower all of them by himself. Compare this to Spiderverse where we kinda don’t get see our heroes and villains, excluding Miles, stack up that well until the 3rd act; it’s hard to wonder if who’s evenly matched and who can overpower whom. It doesn’t help that Peter, Gwen, and Miles are all isolated from the other three during the final fight in the warp terminal. 

It’s in the end where Po proves himself the Dragon Warrior, he not only earned that respect from the five but feels more complete knowing he and his idols look up to each other in a way. We really don’t get that interpersonal synergy with Miles and the B team beyond the moment of them together post Aaron’s death and their initial meeting, the best we get is that Miles knows he isn’t the only Spider-man but even that doesn’t feel as personal as his relationships with Gwen and Peter. Plus while Gwen and Peter are important characters, we don’t see much of a personal connection between the five Spidermun, it mostly comes off as an obligation that they’re together. Now I won’t lie, this is a pretty unfair comparison. The B-team came together on the fly, and it’s not like Miles, Gwen, and Peter knew who they were in the first place. But remember when I said a couple of films in the beginning? This leads to an ironic situation, coming from one of my other favorite movies about being special...

Been a while since I talked ‘bout this beauty

I think it’s safe to say Spiderverse and The Lego Movie have a kindred story beat where our hero meet some tagalongs that have their own thing but nonetheless contribute as supporting characters. But unlike Spiderverse, the Lego Movie showed something I never figured about characters until I saw it once again last year. The other characters have their stake in the plot, but they are also relative features of our main character Emmett. Unikitty resembles his boundless optimism, Benny his excitability, Batman his emotional conviction, and so on. It’s a stretch, but it is possible to note supporting/secondary characters as facets of who our main character is, what they lack or what’s the most prominent idea of them. In Steven Universe, the crystal gems are separate elements of who Steven is at his best or wants to be. Beastars has Legosi, Louis, and Haru have differing aspects of growing up that blend well when united. It’s essentially the braincells meme, the parts make up the whole. Gwen and Peter fill those parts exponentially for Miles, with Peter’s experience and Gwen’s finesse in her skill, to show him the work that goes in being a hero. Same goes for Aaron and Jefferson on a more personal level, being the ones to give Miles the necessary conviction to become the hero. All I gotta ask is: Can ya say the same for Peni, Noir, or Porker?

Again, not that they’re bad characters, but they mostly felt detached from the story in multiple angles

Now at this point you’ll probably say, “Monkey, we get it, where are you going with this?” Well, I can’t help but feel the B-team, while alright on their own, unfortunately feel like cameos that overstayed their welcome. Beyond the initial meetup, the interactions we get with them are second to none, there is no significant dynamic between the B-team and the two spidermun that are more significant to the story. I feel a little less charitable for media wasting potential and it doesn’t help that writing them out until the final fight is very easy. “Peni and Sp//dr were responsible for repairing the flash drive?” Well, I can say a few hints in the movie can point to Aunt May, Peter, and/or Gwen doing it instead. It’s hard to come back to this film compared to the others I’ve exampled when the back of my mind is going “Why are ya’ll here?” I say it would’ve been surprisingly cathartic if the B-team came near the end where they helped out and met up with the trio before bouncing back to their dimensions. As such, we could put more time in for Miles and Gwen together at Aunt May’s house the same way Peter and Miles got earlier before the plot generally runs the same, we have less voices but we build on those character dynamics for more than that bus ride they share. Add to that character theme of Miles, Gwen, and Peter B. being the different generations of Spider-man or something. Overall, I love them, and they feel wasted in this film.

I just can’t see Spiderverse where the focus of these three subsides the interest for the other three

I wanted to discuss this particularly because as much I can say that much detail in the film fundamentally works, which I will discuss later in this analysis, it stands to say that not every ambition in this undoubtedly ambitious movie was added well. It’s honestly how i feel with randomness humor, it’s fun at first but you gotta do more than enough to make it timeless while keeping the surprise of it intact. Or else you just wish they just replaced that joke with something more constructed. Said before, they don’t or weren’t able to utilize these characters beyond their cameo level moments, and it is not a good thing that they’re potentially saved for the sequel because I hate the idea of depending on a sequel to fix the 1st movie’s issues. I gotta wait to 2022 for a potentially better management of characters and that bothers me. I appreciate what I got, but I unfortunately can’t say that appreciation equates to a free pass of what’s detrimental to my love for this film. Now, I tagged this as part one for a reason, because this is only a symptom, a fun size piece to a bigger story problem I have.

Next time. Otherwise, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy your day.

[zios-plotbun-farm]

I just had the BEST MCU Crossover Fanfic Idea ever :D

Ok so I was looking around on pinterest and was looking at a bunch of MCU fanart of IronStrange, then supreme family and then it snowballed from there. So I end up coming across a bunch of crossover fanart of all kinds which included another OTP of mine, Spidypool (and not with MCU spidy ok ew). 

I saw BBC Sherlock and Dr.Strange, Spiderverse plus Deadpool, Tony and Bruce [IronDad & BatDad], Ant-man and Night at the Museum, Tony and RDJ Sherlock, Wonder Woman and Thor, etc. 

Lots of crossovers as you can see.

So considering that in canon alternate dimensions/timelines are an actual thing I had the idea what if all these characters actually meet. Like it would be a slice of life thing focused on fluff, humor and drama. Maybe a lil angst considering I'm having it be after endgame with Tony having lived but him never having gotten together with Pepper after Civil War (so no morgan) and instead gets together with Stephen after Endgame (OTP IronStrange <3) with supreme fam [peter, harley & lil sis] and has it to where some people keep accidentally traveling dimensions or coming to theirs. 

Could possibly consequence from the time-traveling Idk or just people screwing around with shit they shouldn't or accidents all accidents lol. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If anyone takes this up they are definitely gonna have to do a ton of research or have been in all these fandoms cause wow so many characters. I have decided to write these in parts based on fandom. Although the story doesn’t have to be written in arcs since it’d probably be better as connected one shots instead.

1) Spider-verse Portion (Humor & Romance)

Starts off with Miles accidentally getting taken to the MCU dimension while trying to travel to Peter B's using a device made by Peni and ends up meeting MCU Peter. Device either is busted or malfunctions so Peter takes it and Miles to Tony for help to see if he can fix [he tries but can't which he's mad about]. 

So Tony ends up having to call in Stephen to help which gets them bickering while Stephen looks for ways to send Miles back to his home with Tony still trying to fix the gadget. Miles ends up asking Peter if they're together which Peter says no but that they have so much UST that they might as well be together. Miles sympathizes and tells him about his Spidy Mentor also doing the same with his partner Deadpool, who had when first meeting Miles, promptly said he is his and Peter's new adopted son/nephew. 

Then Peter and Miles get into a few shenanigans trying to get Tony and Stephen together after Peter asked for his help (they include the cloak too). After which Miles gets sent back, Peter goes home to tell Ned about his latest adventure and Tony & Stephen schedule a date after finding out about each others pining curtesy of 2 spider kids and cloak.

Inspiration X  X

2) Hero Dads (With Fluff & Angst)

Tony after awhile gets the device that Miles left behind to work. Although not enough to send a person through yet, but he can send a couple machines he made that he can connect to even across dimensions (may have had a little help from Stephen). 

Ends up using them to connect to the other dimensions internet to see how different they are and he first tests it in the DCverse and sees all these other heroes just like the avengers. Finds out about Batman being a billionaire (and dad) like him after using his awesome hacking skills to find out who Batman is and his fellow heroes. Ends up later messaging the man after Tony ends up being confronted by the realization he was the adopted dad of a bunch of kids (Peter, Harley + sis, Riri, Vision, FRIDAY, bots) queue inner crisis. 

Bruce is at first suspicious but then later amused after talking and messaging with Tony as they both bond over their kids. Both sharing stories, pictures, and videos about their kids then later their lives and how similar they are. They become inter dimensional pen pals and complain to each other about their fellow heroes too. 

Could be spaced out into one-shot chapters about certain topics. Like kids, childhood, their hero coworkers, maybe love lives hmmm. 

[Ok I just finished reading some Tony & Bruce fanfic and yes I now have another fav Brotp that involves Tony. It can be added with the Science Bros(Tony & Bruce.B), Iron Bros(Tony & Rhodey), and Snarky Bros(Tony & Loki)]

3)BBC Sherlock (Romance Drama & Humor)

While working on the device with Stephen besides him Tony gets visited by Everett Ross and T'Challa for 'reasons'. But something happens that causes it to malfunction for a bit and transport all those in the room to another dimension. 

They end up coming across BBC Sherlock and Watson who Strange asks if they can stay with for a bit since the group have no place to stay until Strange can get a message to Wong to help them back. Queue lots of shenanigans with alternate selves with boyfriend(s?) nearby [not sure about having everpanther or no]. 

Tony definitely flirts a little with Sherlock causing Strange to be mildly jealous and even more so when Sherlock finds some interest in Tony for how smart he is. Maybe during the stay they help solve a crime and apprehend the suspects. With Everett showing his awesome agent skills, Tony his god level hacking, T'Challa his hand to hand no suit, and Stephen his magic. 

Sherlock and Watson are totally shocked and fascinated about them. Before they return to they dimension Tony leaves a device like the one he sent to DC so that they can communicate if they ever want to.

ADD-ON: Maybe have Sherlock and Watson visit the MCUverse at some point and have them get into an adventure with Strange and Ross. Lots of magic and gun fights abound poor Sherlock and Watson too much chaos in this universe. lol

Inspiration X  X  

4)RDJ Sherlock

Tony finally gets the device to work complete and begs Stephen to go with him to test it out just in case it can't do a return trip. Stephen reluctantly agrees and Tony ask him to look for a dimension that has a look alike of him since last time they meet one of Stephen's. 

So Stephen decides to be cheeky and takes him to the one where now Tony's look alike is Sherlock. Tony finds this hilarious and gets along with him while Stephen regrets his decision cause he wanted to get payback for the flirting last time but that didn't work. Queue Tony and Sherlock getting into shenanigans while Stephen and Watson try to rein them in (and falling). They then use the device to return home after maybe solving a crime or two with Sherlock.

5) Night at the Museum (Humor)

After hearing about the alternate dimensional shenanigans Tony, Peter and others have been going on. Scott is quite curious and asks Peter to ask about his own counterpart and so Peter offers to see about look into it with the help of Miles (they have been keeping in touch through Tony's devices). 

After the talk they go looking to for a dimension but end up accidentally activating the transportation function which takes Scott, Cassie and Peter to the Night at the Museum dimension. There they end up meeting Larry and his son who had come to visit the museum and get talking. 

Larry decides to show Scott and others what happens after dark in the museum with the help of Tilly and Mr. McPhee. Considering that Peter was able to send a message to Tony about what happen and when they can come back they were okay to stay a night before leaving.  

Inspiration X

6)Thor's Foodie Friend (slice of life & fluff)

At some point Thor ends up interrupting Tony while he was talking with Bruce and gets introduced to his fellow billionaire/hero. Bruce then ends up mentioning Diana aka Wonder Woman after remembering what Tony said about the God and how similar the two are. Thor is intrigued and wishes to meet her and so Tony let's him borrow a second device he made after Bruce gives Wonder Woman another device that Tony made to pair with Thor's. They end up being buddies like Tony and Bruce and talk about all the weird cultural stuff they have learned and still are after living on earth. 

Don't have much ideas for this one since I don't know much of Thor or Diana ^_^;

7) MCU Actors (Humor, Drama, Angst, Fluff & Romance just every thing   >.<)

This is Tony just screwing around with the device until he ends up stumbling across a dimension where there are no heroes at all and everyone he knows are actors instead (essentially its like Supernatural but with MCU instead). He starts looking through their internet cause his interest is peak which is where he finds out that in that dimension his and everyone's lives are movies and comics. 

Which he finds both disturbing and yet awesome at the same time although he finds its not completely the same considering the ending and who he ended up with. (Later learns its based on the main dimension that their world branched off of. He's so glad they aren't the main one.) 

This could then have one-shots about multiple characters seeing all the fandom stuff they have based off them in this other world. You know conventions, cosplay, AMVs, fanfiction etc. Possible have some kind of viewing night to see stuff with everyone together. Maybe at some point they get the smart (dumb) idea to travel to that world to talk to their actor counterparts. [Those being Tony, Loki, Stephen, Steve, Bucky, Thor, Peter and who ever is a fun idea to write] Maybe even attend an actual convention in that dimension by replacing their actor selves for fun and also bring those conventions back as ways for good PR who knows. 

[God so many interesting ideas I have that I’ll never write ugh]

And that’s all I got for this mass crossover fic that kicked me over the head and wouldn’t leave me until I wrote it out phew~ 

Anyone interested or wanting to write this can just message a link or add it onto this post I want to read them. :D

comics/series/movies rant

okay so, there’s one thing that’s been bothering me about media, superhero stuff mostly. when you search writing tips one thing that pops out most of the time, is to give your story conflict, cuz a story with no conflict is plain and boring etc etc. and this is fine and all, but one lil thing i wish big media could apply, is that CONFLICT DOESN'T HAVE TO MEAN HUGE STAKES ALL THE TIME coff. let me elaborate on that. i feel that now in comics and movies, EVERYTHING is huge stakes one after the other, do/stop this or all your family die, the whole world explodes THE MULTIVERSE EVAPORATES etc. and like, i dunno about anyone else, but if the only time i get to see a character, its when they are going through something awful, then im gonna relate that character to awful things. and sometimes i see they add snippets of happy moments in between, ONLY to make them bittersweet. haha fun times BUT BAM THEN HE DIED or it was a flashback CUZ HE WAS ACTUALLY DEAD BAM WHAT A TWIST. and like, listen, is there seriously no market for fun slice of life moments?? no wonder i read so many fanfics, they let me experience those characters is so many new different and sometimes relatable experiences, that the canon media seem to discard as plain and boring. because, going back to what i mean about conflict and huge stakes, conflict can be small things, here are some examples of things i would friking love to see more of in canon anything: the justice league trying to convince batman to take a day off and rest cuz holy frick Bruce we have like 300 members now and we can literally teleport around, earth is not gonna explode if you go fishing. (they can only convince him by making it a day off for Alfred and he just having to tag along to ensue Alfred can relax) conflict in this story? Bruce  being too stubborn and not accepting he needs some down time. that’s it, no annoying bittersweet plot wist of him agreeing only to return to find Gotham burnt to the ground, that’s it second example: one of the avengers/avengers close friend/family, literally anyone they have frequent contact with, is getting married. the story’s conflict? all the avengers having to stop/hold back tony from making the biggest, loudest, sluttiest bachelors party in the universe, specially cuz now he haves Rockets number and can call him to ask were to get space strippers. and thats it, just a bunch of cute/funny moments of all the avengers trying to stop tony and he keeps coming up with new ways to organize the party (he might even convince Thor to brings a few barrels of Asgard ale) okay see where im going with this? if there are SO many people making and reading fanfics/fanart of this sorta situations, maybe is cuz we would like see more of it?? givme a justice league game night that evolve into a 3 hour long Clue duel between batman and flash, and everyone is surprised except bats cuz he knows that wally is a forensic scientist and is having way too much fun. givme an avengers realizing Steve have never seen so many classic movies, and the whole groups just ropes him into a marathon in tony’s own cinema room. (they record his reaction to star wars episode 5 and post it online of course) or a story about Bruce swallowing his pride and asking clark if he can teach him how to cook that apple pie his moms bake from time to time because fathers day is aproaching and this year he wants to surprise alfred with a NOn burnt dessert (you talked me and five others through deactivating bombs simultaneously HOW did you set the entire oven on fire again??) coff

ANYWAY, scrolling up i see i ranted for while more than i expected, but yeah, dunno. just wanted to vent about that. i swear one of this days im just gonna say fuck it and write a bunch of one-shots and be done with it

[thestagthatlovedthewolf]

This last weekend (+Thurday and Friday) was Comic Con Portugal, and I have things to share!!! This was the first time in Lisbon (better said, Oeiras, as they kept repeating because the “mayor” wanted some points), which to me worked much better because I do not have to spend money in hotels or long distance trains... The space was huge and outside, so it was very good they changed it to September :) But in terms of the organization, they really need to decide better who they put interviewing people, there was one guy that was just really bad, and I know Joe Reitman can’t do them all (but his with Dolph Lundgren was so great - he was just so happy and excited), but can’t you bring in Mário Augusto to do some of them (not just the Disney panels).

First of all to the Americans, there will be this short movie making some festivals in the US, called Sleepwalk by Filipe Melo, and I want to tell you if you have the chance, check it out!! It’s a beautiful story inspired by a comic I read either last week of 2017 or first one of 2018, I had gotten it for my Dad as a Christmas present; I’m not sure if the comic has been translated, but the movie is fully in English and the story is very related to America.

Continuing on what I got to watch, I watch The Passage!!! Probably my favorite thing of the all Comic Con, I’ve been hearing about it since the episode “Red Queen” of The 100, and then all the press Henry Ian Cusick has been doing for it - I was very curious and I was blown away... The show did not look like something I would like, I just wanted to look at Ian (and I must say seeing him in a big screen is pretty awesome), and his performance was great, but then the story is really interesting and they leave open so many questions in the pilot, that I’m intrigued. But the best thing was the girl’s performance, Saniyya Sidney was adorable and so funny in all the interviews I had seen, but she was great in the show - she was fun and sweet, she could also really hold herself in moments of emotional pain... Really looking forward to January and the rest of season 1 (and still hoping that this show does not mean the dead of Marcus Kane, because it’s not good enough to forgive that).

Also watched the pilot of Outpost and Siren, which I know has been out in the US, they were okay, but did not intrigued me to continue watching. Also watched the movie The House with a Clock in Its Walls and it was not great - the story was not that good... and the acting from the kid was not excellent, and Jack Black was not a funny character... so I would only advise if you’re in love with Cate Blanchett - she was very good!!

This part is over and I want to talk a bit about the panels. Dan Folger (Jacob from Fantastic Beast) is one of the funniest people ever, he just couldn’t stand still and he would get up and yell at nothing, and tell jokes - he has a podcast and he’s going to put both panels he did in there, so check it out :) It probably won’t be as funny as with the visual, but still pretty good.

Then my favorite Dichen Lachman (Anya from The 100 and in the picture above), she was so sweet and nice, and I was really close to the front, so I could really see her!! And I really love the way she talks about Anya, it seems to be a character she really enjoyed playing, and she really wished that there could have been more, she feels that it’s a character with a lot of unfinished business and she would like a “Grounders” prequel. She also talked a lot about Reileen from Altered Carbon, so I’m starting the show now!!

Nicholas Hoult (the Beast from X-Men), he was so sweet!! He hugged a girl and she hadn’t asked, she was just wearing one of those free hugs signs and he just offered and it was the best thing - the girl was just so shocked!! And he talked about Skins a lot, because that show was huge here!! And I think he said one of his favorite scenes to film was when they stole Chris’ body and drove across the town - they did not close the streets, so they saw funny reactions to driving with a coffin through the streets

Then Dolph Lundgren (Ivan Drago from Rocky IV), he was just so awesome!! His stories about Rocky were just so excellent!! And him sharing stories about his own life was just so good - did you know he has a degree in chemical engineering? I’m super excited for Creed 2!!

Finally, Elyes Gabel (Rakharo from Game of Thrones), but sadly there was only one Game of Thrones related question, everything else was Scorpion talk, which I know nothing about...

These were the actor panels, which I feel that are the ones that people would want to talk about. If you have any questions about one of them or want more details, send me an ask!!

I also cosplayed this year, only in the weekend (the other two days just used fandom shirts - The 100 and Star Wars), I went with Drusilla Blackthorn from The Shadowhunter Chronicles, specifically from The Dark Artifices - she’s my favorite character of that particular series, and overall in the entire Shadowhunter world, she’s the one I most identify with, the way she talks about her body rings so true and it’s not something I normally see in media, especially fantasy. And then on Sunday, Clarisse La Rue from Percy Jackson and she’s my favorite - I LOVE HER!!! And these two girls, dressed in Hogwarts uniforms, actually asked to take a photo with me!!!

And to end this very long post, here are some of the things I bought!!! First the tote bags (Indiana Jones and Star Wars) were free, being given out by the channel “Hollywood” during their awesome concert of movie music (also a Mission Impossible tote bag, but I gave that one to my dad)

Saga (Volume 8) by Brian K Vaughan and Fiona Staples, it finally came out here!!! I’m so excited to read it!!!

I actually got some fanart this year, this “Leia and Han” one is so beautiful and I regretted not buying it last year :) And it’s by an artist going by Little Black Spot - they have a website, www.littleblackspot.com!!!

Then these two beautiful stickers - Leia and Poison Ivy - by Inês Barros (inesbarrosillustration in instagram). If you follow me, you’re probably a asoiaf fan, and if you like Sansa Stark and/or Daenerys Targaryen, check her out, because she has these beautiful prints of them!! (I really wished she had some of Arya - I found no prints of Arya at Comic Con...)

Two Daredevil comics and they were 6 euros each!!! 6 euros, guys!!! 12 total!!! That’s was so cheap.... they are in Brazilian, which I do not love, because it’s confusing at time, but I’ll take it for the price. Also they have Elektra and Medusa!!!

Three mugs - they are not all for me... I saw the Battlestar Galactica and I had to get it for my brother (BSG has so little merch...), and then they had a deal of three for 20 euros (one is 8 euros) and I was taken... The Winterfell one is obviously for me - it’s so beautiful!!!, and the Batman and Superman one is for my dad

Then I wanted some Lost merch, because I’ve just been deep into the show lately. There wasn’t much, actually two POPs - cheaper than usual - Kate and Jacob, but I only get POPs for characters I really love, and while I have a few favorites in Lost, the only one I would consider buying is if they ever make a Penny one, because I LOVE her so much!!! But I got this Dharma pin with all the stations!! It was between this one and a Dharma beer pin...

And then a Martell pin, because I lost the one I got last year... and my Stark one was feeling alone. I need everyone to know where my allegiances lie :)

Also got a lot of Japanese food for my brother, but by now he has eaten everything!! (And one of the drinks, he didn't even remember to let me take a sip...)

This post is actually done now, to conclude this it was an AMAZING for days, and my favorite was definitely Friday!!! Not too many people, or too little, Saga came out, I watched The Passage and I had the panels with Dan Folger, Nicholas Hoult and Dichen Lachman!!!

The Witcher 3 Fanart Gives Geralt a Wonderful Comic Book-Style Makeover

July 28, 2020 6:04 AM EST

Marvel artist Patrick Brown turns are beloved Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher 3 into a comic book character and I’m living for it.

Yesterday we saw that a prequel to the incredibly good Netflix TV show The Witcher will be coming our way. The Witcher: Blood Origin will be set 1200 years before Geralt of Rivia, and will feature a chaotic world filled with monsters, men, and elves that will explore how the first Witcher developed. The TV series was one of Netflix’s biggest first seasons ever with over 76 million households tuning in to watch (even if it was solely to watch Henry Cavill in that bathtub scene. I mean, who would do that? Not me.). As much as I can’t wait to see the prequel and the second season to The Witcher, these fanmade images have made me excited for more comic-book versions of the fantasy title.

In Poland from 1993-1995, 6 issues of The Witcher comic books, which are based on Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher short stories, were published and then in 2001, the graphic novels were collected in 2 hardcover volumes. Dark Horse Comics, an American comic book and manga publisher, picked the series up from 2015 to 2016 that consisted of four comics written by Paul Tobin and illustrated by Joe Querio. While the first storyline, House of Glass, is an original story, the second one, Fox Children, is an adaptation of one of the chapters of Andrzej Sapkowski’s Season of Storms novel. However, going by these drawings by Patrick Brown, I think we could very well do with seeing even more comic book versions of Geralt of Rivia.

Patrick Brown, an Australian artist living in Tasmania, works for Marvel and in his spare time loves nothing more than getting stuck into some fan art of his favorite video game, movie, and TV characters over the last 10 years. As we can see from his Witcher sketches, Geralt is certainly up there when he decides to do some fanart. Previously, we highlighted Patrick’s work when he took on our most beloved gaming characters and threw them all together in one big pool party at Michael’s house from Grand Theft Auto V. Patrick turned around his hobby into a career and learned how to use his art digitally using Photoshop when he went to college.

“I have always been greatly inspired by many things, from games to movies and even TV series. If I like something I draw it. Most people call me a fan artist, but I like to think of it as giving me a reason to draw something so I can improve myself for better things.” Patrick continues “I love what I do, I always have. Without my fans I am nothing, so thank you to everyone who enjoys my work.”

Patrick also has a Patreon site that grants membership for as little as $1 that allows you to have access to exclusive content, updates on work in progress, and interaction with Patrick himself. If learning how to draw is a passion of yours, Patrick teaches online art classes too that will take you through the entire art process, from sketches to inks and final colors. You can check out Patrick’s wonderfully colorfully and artistic portfolio here where he captures the likes of Ellie from The Last of Us Part 2, Kratos from God of War, Batman, Nathan Drake from the Uncharted series and many more. While you are there, it’s well worth your time taking a peek at his official Marvel artwork, too.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt celebrated its 5-year anniversary a few months ago so, naturally, I took to my keyboard to type out why I still love it so much to this very day. If you have a few minutes, you can check that out right here. For all things monsters and mythology from The Witcher Netflix show, take a look at this guide that goes into great detail about the lore of the monsters that Geralt encounters.

If you wish, be sure to check out our own review for the Netflix series The Witcher here. If gaming is more your style, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is available now on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Fanfic question meme: 6, 7, 10, 11-14, 23, 26-28, 43, 46!! Sorry if that's too many!! xoxoxoxox 💖💖💖💖

Thank you so much for asking me some questions and its not too many at all ^.^

6. List your OTP from each fandom you’ve been involved in.

I’m mainly going to focus on pairs I like in Naruto, because that’s what I’m heavily involved in at the moment. I’ve only written fanfiction for 3 different fandoms and I’m considering that’s what the question meant by “involved in”. 

For Naruto: SasuHina (I just love reading fanfiction on this pair), ShikaTema (right from the start, I knew they be together

For Batman: BatmanxCatwoman, JokerxHarley (I usually stick to those two as my favorite because I like angst but most fanfictions on them get repetitive)

For Twilight: EdwardxBella, LelaxSam (don’t judge me 😖)

7. List your NoTPs from each fandom you’ve been in.

For Naruto: GaaSaku (this pairing has always confused me; to me its a no), ShikaHidan (also a no), ItaSaku (its an interesting idea but I really cant see Sakura falling for Sasuke’s brother when she’s so hung up on Sasuke), KakaSaku (no student-teacher relationships), ItaSasu (No incest). 

For Batman: BatmanxHarley, BatmanxJoker

For Twilight: EdwardxAlice, RosexJacob

10.  Is there a fandom you read fic from but don’t write in

There’s probably lots of fandoms I dont write for. Some of them I want to, others I know I cant write fanfiction for. 

X-men

Attack on Titan

Hunger Games (I have a few drafts of story I never posted that I had lost inspiration to)

Fast and Furious (I had an outline of a story I wanted to do, but never wrote for it.)

Inuyasha

Vampire Knight

The Walking Dead

Death Note

Avatar

Sherlock

Host

11. Who is your current OTP?

Oh gosh, can I say my OC Saryie with Sai? Lmao Uh probably still heavily like the idea of SasuSaku together out of the canon pairs. Otherwise, I’m mostly reading oc stories with cannon pairings. 

12. Who is your current OT3?

Hmm can’t really answer this because I don’t have one, sorry ^.^’ 

13. Any NoTPs?

Again, I say no to Gaara and Sakura ever being together. Also all the ones stated above again. Haha. 

I also find the pairing of Naruto and Temari weird.

14. Go on, who are your BroTPs?

NaruGaa, ShikaChoji, KakaGai, HidanKaku, KisaItac 

23. Name a fic you’ve written that you’re especially fond of & explain why you like it.

I’m honestly fond of my most current story that’s about my OC Saryie with her team. Its called Stirring Emotions. I know I have mentioned it before and I know some people may be sick of me talking about it. However, I am so fond of it because it was the first multiple chapter story I finish in less than a year, that’s how pumped I was to write it even when I was busy finishing up school. 

I like it so much because I knew I wanted to create something different that could be added on to the Naruto world. I am rather picky though, and I don’t like how most oc stories try to mess with Naruto’s life or his background. So I knew I didn’t want to do that with my story. I wanted a character to bare witness to the plot of Naruto without actually changing anything. Now my oc Saryie had been in the drafts for years. I created her when I was 13 years old when I first started watching Naruto. She was a very blunt and unrefined character that I created. I truly got to test out her personality in a different story that was a Naruto AU fic I created. It got me use to writing her character. Then before this story came along, I had worked hard to develop her story and her background. Which also led me to develop more OCs because I wanted to put Saryie on a team that was  going to help add to Saryie’s background. 

So the whole process of preparing and designing characters was very fun for me. Plus, I really wanted to write a proper story for Sai where he is neither the perfect boyfriend or the worst boyfriend. Some people will either write Sai as too dumb or they will write him as too sensitive. I wanted to create a slow burn of how Sai discovers his feelings and wanted to portray a real life feel of a relationship. 

I’m very proud of my story for that reason.  Also, figuring out ways to add to the Naruto story was what made my story even more enjoyable, because I wasn’t just working on creating a romance fic but an all encompassing adventure and romance one. I’m still working on the Sequel to my Stirring Emotions story with Sharing Emotions where Saryie and Sai’s relationship grows further and takes places during the war.  So yea, that’s what I’m most fond of… can’t you tell? lmao 

Sorry for rambling. 

26. How do you come up with your fanfic titles?

I’ve been told on more than one occasion that I am not the best at naming stories 🙂 I perfectly agree. Some feedback I have gotten is that my titles are too dull and dont catch reader’s interest. 

So how do I pick titles? Well for instances with these scenario requests if I write the scenario first, I try to pick a title that summarizes the event. However if I choose a title first and then write the scenario, I just make the title generic. 

As for my stories on fanfiction… I kind just go with the first thing that pops into my head which is bad sometimes. 😅

27. What do you hate more: Coming up with titles or writing summaries?

Titles. Summaries are ok. I’m not the greatest at it, but I try. 

28. If someone were to draw a piece of fanart for your story, which story would it be and what would the picture be of?

I always thought it be cool too see fanart of my Naruto AU story where most Naruto characters are at an Art college. This story was like created when I was 14 years old so its not the greatest but… can you imagine like…

Naruto all deck out like a pop artist as he has dreams of being a singer 

Hinata in cute ballet outfit

Sasuke as a hiphop dancer 

Tenten as a painter with her colthes splattered with paint and pencils in her hair

Temari as a violinist with combat boots and piercings with a rock band shirt on.

Shikamaru with a man-bun, smoking a cigarette, with a guitar strapped to his back

Sai looking prestine and formal, but always caring a sketch pad with him. 

Ugh… I want it. I tried drawing it myself once. Didn’t come out well. 

43. Is there anyone in your fandom who really inspires you?

Yes, the whole reason I wanted to refine my own oc was because of an author on fanfiction. She had created a neat Kakashixoc fic that wasn’t at all mary-sueish and didnt affect the plot of Naruto and made me fantasize creating my own story in a similar way. 

There are also a few authors on tumblr that had inspired me to start my own imagines blog. 

46. If someone was to read one of your fanfics, which fic would you recommend to them and why?Probably my latest story with my OC because its more well-written. Frankly my Naruto AU story embarrasses me when I read back on it and even if I do like the compliments I get on it, I know its not the best. I was a young teenager when I wrote it and I just wish I had thought about it more. 

#text post #about me #thank you for asking #you so sweet #ten gold stars!!! #feel free to ask me more questions #or if youre curious about anything else

[sharp-fanged13]

Tag game

I’ve been tagged by the awesome @white-queen-lacus (she has the cuttest cat, his name is Jack)

Rules: 1. Post the rules 2. Answer the questions given to you by the tagger 3. Write 11 questions of your own 4. And tag 11 people

Her questions:

1) Have you traveled somewhere recently and where?

In september I traveled to Sinaia (a.k.a. my favorite place in Romania). I miss it very much rn.

2) What literary genre do you prefer reading?

I dunno if i am picky, but I prefer to read fiction which has a combination of genres. I consider a book very good if it has lots of action, mistery, some gore and romance and characters I can relate to (if the characters are not well written, especially the protagonist, then it is a real chance I won’t finish the book)

3) Name your favorite recipe.

Pancakes with nutella and bannanas is something I think everyone knows how to make, so this is a recipe for my favorite romanian classic

CIORBĂ: it is like a sour soup and for this one i recommend the version with chicken wings and lemon (sounds weird, but it is delicious and hearthy)

In a pot (5L) boil about 8-10 chicken wings in about 3L of water or a bit more (you need to remove whatever you don’t like from it except the skin beforehand)

Then, you can start dicing 3-4 carrots, a big onion, a medium sized celery root, 1-2 bell peppers (whichever colour you prefer), a medium sized potato and add them to the pot. When the veggies are soft you can add diced canned tomatoes (about half a can or enough to give it colour) or you can use 4-5 fresh ones (also diced). If the water is reduced to half the pot you must add some more until the pot is at least 3 quaters full.

At the end you must add the juice of 2 lemons (my avice is to add half, let it simmer a bit, then add salt to taste. If it seems like there is not sour enough of salty enough add to taste so you can adjust it to your taste).

And that it is!

This recipe is the universal and healthy version and my favorite. Here in Romania (and I suppose in Rep. Moldova and some areas in the neighboorhooding countries they have this thing too) we usually use borsh to make it sour (no, not the thing made in Russia), but you can’t find it in other corners of the world, but lemon juice is a great substitute, i swear!

4) What’s the best side of your favorite character?

I have many, many faves, but today I’ll pick Darrow from The Red Rising Trilogy. I love Darrow because I see myself in him most of the time and I can’t really say he has a best part and a worst part. 

But I admit he is a great leader and his leadership skills, his power and determination are what drive the plot most of the time.

5) (related to n.4) What’s the worst side?

He has none. He is as perfect as his significant other

Ok, maybe people might say that his rage is a curse. That he burns out too quickly. But I love his rage and he does not burn out, because everyone around him is there to make sure he does not. (that and the fact that Mustang did not allow him to die and Sevro will litterally drag his arse from the Vale).

6) Why did you join Tumblr?

I was in the naruto fandom at the time and I loved many artists from the fandom (I still do) so I made a tumblr in order to show my appreciation for art and fanart and funny posts and so on. Then I became a multi-fandom blog because I can’t keep to one thing only and that’s it.

I know I am a trash blog, but hey, it is a healthy form of escapism so I won’t search the gift horse at the teeth.

7) Name five things you usually enjoy irl.

Reading, eating, traveling, cooking delicious food, listening to music.

8) What did you dream last night (or enventually, what is the dream you remember better lately)?

i dreamt of a window sill and a rainy day and a good book (I need a break from Uni)

9) What’s you favorite TV show and why?

I dunno if i have one. I was into TVD until I got tired of the writers shitting on Damon’s character (dude, they even made Klaus prefer Stefan like WTF). I watched the ending for old time’s sake and I was ok with it. Then me and sis liked Game of Thrones, because of the complexity, the magic, the mind games, the world etc. But I don’t consider it a favorite…it’s weird, but there are a lot of flaws i can’t get over. (And i am not reffering to its relation to the books)

10) Who is your favorite mangaka (or author, if you don’t read manga)?

My favorite mangaka is Yana Toboso, because she is amazing and attentive to details and has hands down, the best style and is a great writer too. i also like Hiro Mashima, because he and his editors always delivered a ton of chapters pretty quickly and his mangas always make me laugh and feel actual happiness.

I love Hino Matsuri’s style a lot, but she is not as great with the writing part, in my opinion.

11) If you had the chance to ask only one wish to the genie, what would you ask?

I’d wish my sister to have a happy and long life.

Here are my q’s: 1. What is your current favorite book? 2. What is your top 5 favorite male characters? 3. If you could change a single thing in your life what would it be? 4. Tea, coffee, juice or chocolate? 5. Favorite place from your country is? 6. Who would you be in a story (hero, anti hero, villan, sidekick etc)? 7. Have you ever loved romatically? 8. What’s your stand on vigilantism Batman style? (without killing, unless it’s a creature intending to destroy the world) 9. What weapon would you choose to fight with (no matter what era, you can even choose laser swords idc)? 10. What song do you currently love? 11. Would you read a book if I recommend it to you? I tag 11 blogs (please don’t hate me, ignore it if u don’t do these kind of things): @the-dark-instruments @kakashi-gets-sasusaku @elizabeth-kawaii-midford @runningquill-art @mortisia @crochanblackbeak @brucediana i don’t even know 11 people on tumblr I am sorry😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
