#if you're squinting

[pr0cyon-lotor]

Okay so I know SQH would absolutely get his ass handed to him in a fight with LQG

BUUUUTTT

I do believe that if SQH finally got to his breaking point with the Bai Zhan disciples fucking shit up and leaving his peak to do the paperwork to fix things, Shang Qinghua could get at least ONE ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATING HAYMAKER on Liu Qingge's face

And depending on the fates and how much Liu Qingge was caught off guard, SQH could maybe get away with verbally tearing into LQG. And it's always the nice ones with the more gut-wrenching, soul-crushing insults

So if SQH plays his cards right, he might be able to even get away before LQG has time to recover :)

#now #would Liu Qingge then beat the shit out of our favorite boy #perhaps #or he could actually learn something from it #and not actually beat our hamster boy into a pulp #(he was probably stopped by multiple other people too) #i do think it would be funny ^^ #liu qingge #shang qinghua #svsss #scum villian self saving system #scumbag system #scum villain's self saving system #Liu Qingge x Shang Qinghua #Shang Qinghua x Liu Qingge #liushang #if you're squinting #and delusional #which I am ;)

I spotted a boarded up doorway, knocked it down, and then had to take a moment as the team rolled to realize that, wow! there's a secret entrance! Right there! While standing on top of the wooden planks I'd just knocked down.

In Astarion's defense, Shadowheart and Lae'zel failed their perception checks. It doesn't make his grand discovery any less sad, but it's something.

Over at Patreon and society6 we can be convinced to draw more Astarion, because he is very pretty.

#champions and heroes #baldur's gate #baldur's gate 3 #Astarion #Tav #astarion x tav #if you squint #it's honestly just sad when the muscle is the most perceptive of the team #Shadowheart you're supposed to have a high wisdom #were you too busy bickering with Lae'zel to pay attention or something? #thank the gods Astarion is here #to discover the obvious #discover in the way that Columbus discovered the americas

If a ghost says it, you have to do it.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #If you squint hard enough you can tell when this one was 'supposed' to come out. #comic break aside - It is nice to have a good buffer again! #did anyone else play around with spirits at sleepovers or hangout with your friends/cousins/siblings? #I had many a night in a dark forest with a cloak and flashlight (candles not allowed) #someone always takes the role of 'I am the sensitive spirit medium and you have to do as the ghost says' #in yunmeng sibling terms that was probably wwx. JYL went with it for fun but JC absolutely believed it and *loathed* it #Anyways. When you're the prankster you definitely get sensitive for people trying to pull the same tricks on you. #I think LWJ absolutely would be cheeky enough to pull a 'ghost said so' on WWX or the juniors #But not when he's on the clock. Work comes first and he's not going to play around. #He'd opt to play his guqin on the porch while he waits for wwx to come home and when wwx compliments his song he'd be like: #“Actually it was the spirit haunting the place. It says we have to kiss for it to be appeased” #and of course wwx is like “damn if the ghost says so I gotta.” because they area awful like that

non-exhaustive list of canon powers Nico di Angelo either has shown or is heavily implied to have:

Shadow-travel

Manipulation of shadows/darkness (also possibly use of shadows as a pocket-dimension a la Magicians using the Duat in The Kane Chronicles)

Becoming intangible/shadows

Complete control over skeletons/bones (dead or alive, including summoning, reanimation, and/or changing shape of them) and being able to sense their presence

Summoning, reanimating, commanding, and dispelling the dead/undead (Skeletons, zombies, ghosts, etc & varieties) and being able to sense their presence

Ability to understand/communicate with the dead/undead and potentially other beings of the Underworld

Inherent complete comprehension of Latin

Ability to perceive the usually unperceivable/possibly look upon a deity’s true form without repercussion (at least moreso than the average demigod, though possibly is restricted to chthonic beings) (ex: Tartarus, potentially also interacting with his parents, etc)

Interacting tangibly with ghosts (implied to be a Ghost King thing rather than a Hades/Pluto thing)

Partial or complete immunity to different effects of the Underworld/things within (can consume food/drink of or in the Underworld without repercussions, effects from the Lethe wear off over time instead of being permanent like usual for mortals, etc)

Astral projection/”Walking in dreams”

Dream manipulation and projection (Sending dreams to others, etc.) (presumably includes sharing/projecting dreams with others) alongside inflicting sleep upon others even from a distance.

Illusions

Manipulation of emotions/aura that inflicts specific emotions on others (ex.: radiating fear/death onto enemies)

Projection of emotions and memories onto others (can be so forceful it causes physical damage like a shockwave)

Geokinesis (all forms but also specifically generating black marble) (presumably also specialized control over precious gemstones & non-paper currency)

Temperature manipulation (seemingly only lowering temperature)/creating frost)

Control/manipulation of souls, including living beings (ex: ripping out Bryce Lawrence’s soul)

Perceiving/reading/judging of souls (most likely also a Ghost King thing over Hades/Pluto thing, but possibly both)

Converting living into dead/undead, aka instakill (ex: disintegrating monsters to bone with one touch)

Lowering or manipulation of own vitals (breathing, heart rate, etc)

Death Trance/pseudo-hibernation (possibly also general control over states of consciousness at least for self, in combo with control over vitals & dreams)

Sensing death (impending or when it occurs, sometimes receiving dreams/visions of it occurring)

Able to sense other children of Hades/Pluto (potentially also other chthonic beings in general/able to identify based on sense alone) and also just living beings in general, such as mortals (possibly via souls).

Improved navigation underground/in the Underworld and ability to traverse restricted or normally unnavigable parts of the Underworld

Enhanced strength/abilities when in the Underworld

Inherently unnaturally quiet (possibly able to silence sound on a designated target)

Hiding/shielding self from being perceived (seemingly related to shadows/silence)

#pjo #riordanverse #nico di angelo #long post // #MY BOY IS OP AS FUCK and i love this about him #so many of these are so underutilized #when will Nico get to use his geokinesis again #we only see him make marble once in BoTL and then never again #based on that he should theoretically be able to do everything Hazel can do. which also implies Hazel can do everything he can do #let Hazel summon a skeleton for once and Nico hits somebody with a rock cmon #also i still firmly believe Nico should get to turn invisible #we've seen him become intangible. his dad's notable item is a helm that makes you invisible. let him turn invisible. #but yeah big 3 kids are op. look at nico go. and this is just physical abilities not including stuff like Annabeth being smart #or cabin 7 kids being good at music or whatever #presumably for Nico/Hazel it'd be like a penchant for diplomacy and legality-related things presumably #and i like to hc he has a personal inherent knowledge bank of everyone who has ever died in his lifetime - just details about their deaths #mostly anyways and then like basic facts about who they were/next of kin/etc #so they can tap into that at any time and be like ''hold on lemme look this person/their relatives up real quick'' #i usually like to write that as how Nico confirmed what was up with Jason when they first met #he just kind of squinted at Jason and went ''okay. hm. who are you next of kin of? Beryl - OH YOU'RE THALIA'S BROTHER''

[mispatchedgreens]

get yourself a man that hates everyone but mostly himself, that's powered by shame and spite, that would do anything for you, that would murder you

#the radiant emperor #she who became the sun #swbts #general ouyang #my art #I've spent a long time in les mis fandom not to get a kneejerk reaction when i look at this fuckin mess that's like #haha 60k of reincarnation au when? #imagine a world where the feelings of servitude are absent and ouyang can squint at esen suspiciously and tell him #'wow you're a fucking brat' or sth?? #i am SICKENED by them you understand I'm inconsolable

other cops don't have this on their jackets. is he not only going to work in revolutionary airman cosplay but also openly displaying their symbol like it's no big deal

#was it obvious lol idk #or it isn't that? #what. what do average people think of it. do they even recognise the outfit anymore #imagine. you're out in the streets and see two odd guys. one is dressed like disco stu and the other like a wwi soviet pilot #and then you squint and see police badges on them #disco elysium #pointless microblogging #disco elysium spoilers #? for the Kim Lore

[dopeasspancake]

Can't stop thinking about the concept of post-Scream (1996) and Billy and Stu's spirits being tied to Sidney for whatever reason. Maybe it's penance. Maybe it's unfinished business. Maybe they never figure it out. But they're just kind of stuck following her.

And maybe it takes her a while to notice. Maybe it takes Billy and Stu a while to become proficient enough at haunting for her to see/hear them and for them to be able to interact with objects or the living. At first they're not even sure they want Sid to know they're there.

But it eventually happens. And NONE of them are thrilled about the situation. For a long while. Maybe Stu finds it kind of funny, but Billy and Sid are PISSED. Billy & Stu aren't always around, though. They sometimes disappear for hours or even days at a time, but they always come back. They have no choice.

They follow Sidney to Windsor College, mock her choice in studies, and cannot stand her boyfriend Derek ("He's so corny it's painful, Sid.") And although Billy & Stu love finding out that they've inspired their own horror movie, they DON'T appreciate the new Ghostface(s) targeting Sidney. Sidney was THEIR final girl and she beat them fair and square. This New Guy should be more original, in their opinion.

When Sidney is distraught over Randy's untimely murder, Billy & Stu are actually a little bummed for her. And him. Stu was even rooting for them a bit. Thought Sid & Randy would have been cute together, but oh well.

And maybe Billy still hates Sidney, but he kind of respects her. He was once genuinely in love with her, before everything. Maybe Stu, who only ever got involved for funsies (and because he'd follow Billy to the ends of the earth) is even a little attached to her. So maybe they do their ghostly best to watch out for her (not that they'd actually tell her this, of course).

And when Billy eventually finds out one of the Ghostface killers was his mom, he spirals a bit (because why does she care NOW but not before he died? What right did she even have to be angry? SHE left HIM). And all Sidney can tell him is "Well, she's dead now."

After Sidney escapes death yet again following the Hollywood murders, she has to deal with several weeks of a falling out between her ghosts. Stu was there, he heard what Roman said about giving Billy pointers. About having a partner he could sell out if need be. And that had hurt more than any knife or smashed TV ever could.

(After a few weeks and with mediation from Sid, Billy finally confesses he never planned to sell Stu out. Only liked the idea of a partner, of not being alone, and Stu was the only person in the world Billy trusted with his life. And who Billy knew was unhinged enough to agree to murder for his friend. Getting this information out of Billy is like pulling teeth because not even death has cured his emotional constipation.)

And this just continues on through the franchise. And despite the fact that Sidney will never forgive Billy & Stu for what they did, she gets used to their presence. Even eventually begins to appreciate them, as fucked up as it is. They become a familiar constant in her life.

When they tease or mock her, Sid's not afraid to remind Stu that she dropped a TV on his face. Or that she put a bullet between Billy's eyes and would gladly do it again. But funny enough, she eventually says these things with very little malice. It's almost like a fun little inside joke. And to be fair, Stu can't think of a more ironic way for him to have died. He gets giggly about it sometimes.

They make fun of Sidney when she starts dating her eventual husband. They make fun of her even harder while she's pregnant because she's often tired, sore, and easily irritated. And while neither Billy nor Stu are big fans of kids, they have to admit Sid and Mark make some pretty cute ones.

Sidney is the one to break the news to Billy, "Congratulations, it's a girl" but 25 years late. She also has to break the news that his daughter is the latest target. And that Stu's nephew was already a victim. Both ghosts are left reeling over this information. Stu is weirdly disappointed to find out Billy cheated on Sid.

("Really, Billy? Didn't you plan an entire murder all because your dad cheated on your mom? And then you had the nerve...?!"

"Stu, while I appreciate you coming to my defense, I find it... fascinating that you're fine with murder but infidelity is where you draw the morality line."

"It's the hypocrisy, Sid! And you didn't deserve that."

"You literally both tried to murder me."

"... not the point, Sid."

If Billy wasn't so flabbergasted at the time, he might have felt more ashamed and embarrassed.)

When Sidney realizes what house Sam is at, Billy & Stu stay with her as she rushes headfirst into danger. All 3 of them are a little sick at setting foot back in that house. Billy & Stu are downright disgusted when they realize the killers are once again The Boyfriend and The Friend. ("Have some fucking originality, I am begging these kids.")

Billy later ends up genuinely thanking Sidney for helping save his daughter. They laugh over the irony of it all. Stu thinks about how Sam reminds him a lot of Sid, weirdly enough. But also of Billy, in some ways. He doesn't say these things out loud. But he does feel oddly protective of the young woman.

And I honestly have no idea how or when to end this concept, it could theoretically go on for decades... but I'm def obsessed with the idea obviously. So, if you actually read through all this (thank you and) feel free to expand upon the idea.

Maybe one day I'll get my shit together and write it out in detail myself. But probably not. BUT MAYBE.

UPDATE: after tons of positive feedback and although I am absolutely shitting myself with nerves, I have officially posted the first chapter of The Ghosts of Our Past for anyone interested.

Hey TMAGP-ers, going positively bonkers in this dingy OIAR basement of ours right about now. Johnny Sims and Alexander J Newall have done it once again. I feel the problematic investment in magpod dragging its miserable carcass back into my brain. My brain structure is rewiring itself to resemble a pin board and chaotic red thread and Celia is RIGHT at the centre of it. What is that glorious freak hiding.

#no because these allusions are making me eat my hands #BURIED ALIVE?!?! MEAT?!?!? #Celia im squinting at you so suspiciously #and beholding you with fierce adoration #convinced you're THE Celia from the eye-pocalypse cult #fym whoever voiced chester must not be important #he's important to me #hes my pookie #jarchavist sims come home #guys im going positively bonkers #tmagp spoilers #tmagp #celia tmagp #chester tmagp #the magnus protocol #AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA #tmagp ep 7
