The crew of the Red Mantis:

Ezekiel, looking like breakfast, lunch and the evening meal, all rolled into one. It was so much fun corrupting this man. 🥰

The Adoring Fan, (I call him Adam), questioning his life choices! I kid, he’s amazing on a pirate crew.

Mathis, he’s still got a chip on his shoulder a mile wide, but a solid crew member.

First mate, Jess, sitting in the captain’s chair!

I made friends with The Hunter, and he made himself at home on my ship. He doesn’t really do much, just wanders around worrying the crew.

A contemplative Mathis.

I love this pic of Jess, she looks like someone in a renaissance painting. (The Hunter in the background gives me chills).

EZ, there are crew quarters, but he chooses to sleeep in the captain’s bed. With my plushies. I might be Crimson Fleet, but I still have a warm and fuzzy side.

The Captain, Calitrix. I aimed to give her a Furiosa vibe, and really liked it. 🥰

Ring of Fire, Ring of Fire, Ring of Fire-

The first time we see all the Octonauts slide in one Octo-Shoot together!

Love the RoF, even if the Z-gup is less realistic than the existence of Vegimals and it drives me mad-

Lots of little gems in the movie, we got jokes and trauma it’s ✨ The quality is very good as well, the scenes and animation was great. It felt more child-directed than the Caves of Sac Actun (it could just be me, but it felt that way) but either way top tier

#lookit them :D adorable little guys havin fun #Mantis Shrimp Mode my mortal enemy /j #we love the Shellington and Inkling extended scenes #we love the Tweak and Kwazii best friend duo #they all totally have trauma it’s wonderous /j #octonauts #octonauts a&b #octonauts above and beyond #above and beyond

[esrah-rah-rasputin]

I think it says something that in my dreams, mammals and other common animals almost always look obviously messed up and disturbing in some way, but insects look fantastic, amazing, wonderful, brilliant, and they make me sad when I wake up because they don’t exist!

#had a dream about this huge praying mantis species that could more or less loaf? it was odd but utterly adorable and looked amazing #esrah talks #dreams tag

POV you’re Pietro Maximoff on your first day on the Benatar

This verse is everything. I can totally see it! Why is this not canon already

__________

{out of breath} THIS WAS NOT GOING TO WAIT UNTIL I WAS BACK FROM HIATUS! I love everything about this, haha. And I agree, the “speedster of the galaxy” AU is one of the best I’ve had for Pietro, honestly. It really opens up a lot of potential for things we never got to see in the MCU canon.

Edit: Thank you submitter for getting me the version with the fully-visible artist’s watermark! Definitely credit where credit is due for whoever did this lovely artwork. I’ve swapped them! =)

Starker AU - Prompt: Mistaken for a couple

Excerpt:

Tony almost jumps when he notices the insect moniker Guardian staring up at him with her void-like eyes.

“Um, did you… need… something?” Never in his life had Tony witnessed a more realistic impression of a lightbulb moment when Mantis’ expression lights up.

“Yes! You have reminded me,” she says, and eagerly steps toward Tony. He resists the instinct to step back. “As is tradition in Terran culture, I wish to congratulate you–”

“Yeah, that’s not necessary–”

“-- on the union with your life mate.”

“My what now?”

Tony stares, baffled by the peculiar woman’s meaning. Understandably they didn’t get the memo in deep space, but Pepper and Tony were no longer together. Hadn’t been since the snap. 

Mantis turns and points in the general direction of the group of heroes clamouring about a spinning bottle. “You and the young spider–”

#i adore this au and i adore mantis. she's the real mvp of this fic and such a delight to write #starker #my trash
