#some of the best I’ve seen

[codychristiantreasures]

All of us meeting Cody shirtless:

"TITS! Sorry. TITS! Sorry. TITS!! I'm so sorry, I can't-- TITS!"

Could I maybe…if you’re ok with it…possibly…touch them Cody? 👉🏻👈🏻

#they’re awfully distracting #some of the best I’ve seen #cody ask #thanks for the ask! #❤️

labru is like “what if i was really good at reading social situations and i understand the body language and motivations of almost everybody i meet except YOU, because you LOVE MONSTERS and you’ve got no interest in people and i DONT understand you and that TERRIFIES me to the point where i regularly think about k*lling you . but i won’t do it because deep down i’m kinda obsessed with you and i want to know you and i want to know how you see the world so different from me . which is even scarier. let me stand by your side please i can be useful.” and i was meant to what? go on with my life normally after that?

Things you might not realize are affecting your ao3 readership:

Putting unrelated fics into one compilation instead of series or collections

Not tagging your fics/“haha I’m so bad at tagging!”

Tagging all of the ships in a fandom instead of the relevant ones to the story

“This is my first fic ever”/ “I’m really not a good writer” / “sorry if this is crap”

Summaries that say “sorry don’t think I will update much” or “might be abandoned idk”

Tagging “r@pe” or “unaliving” etc instead of the actual tag so people can filter/exclude

NOT tagging major, relevant tags or kinks without using the “creator chose not to use archive warnings” option

Telling people how bad your writing is and how you hate it so much and how they shouldn’t even be reading your fic (self deprecation)

Weird punctuation: not starting new quotes or descriptions on a new line, and/or putting extremely long blocks of text on the page without a break

#while there are many valid reasons to do these things #they can affect if people will click on your story #they can be very influential #and it might explain some hits or ratios you don’t like #but not all #we all go through it as writers and we do this for free #but these are some reasons I might keep scrolling and that I’ve seen from other people #fanfic #fic #writing #fanfiction #ao3 #archive of our own #most of this applies to ao3 but still #soft writing rant for Friday #I’m not saying things will magically change if you don’t do these #but it will help i promise #always put your best self out there #and so much of these are self deprecating as a protective measure #I totally get why we do it #IVE done these #trust me #writing things #just writing things #reading #reading things

Remember how they pointed out that Palistrom wood was becoming rarer? Because Belos kept over harvesting it and not giving it time to grow back?

The University’s tree is blue. Its a big ass Palistrom tree

#I THINK. PROBABLY #I haven’t seen any other trees in the show coloured blue. but it has the swirls like Luz’s log #ALSO THE LIGHT GLYPH CARVED ABOVE EDAS OFFICE SNIFFLE #I’ve been seeing a lot of posts abt how the isles are recovering from Belos like removing the coven tattoos and #eda raine and king stomping on Belos. but I thought this was a nice callback #Belos didnt just hurt the people on the isles. he also destroyed a lot of stuff that was culturally important #palistrom makes companions and tools for people on the isles and Belos took all of it for himself. greedy bastard #ALSO if u notice on the banner above the University’s entrance theres a symbol shaped like a titan skull #and if you look at the scene with raine ever wolf and Darius you can see they have the same symbol as a badge or on Darius’ belt #so I assume that means the Isles also formed a new government after Belos died. the fact its shaped like the titan is also cool cause they #dont need to rely on some puritan to lead them pretending tk have their best interests in mind #the Emperors sigil doesn’t even have anything associated with the Isles in the first place either. its Belos imposing his own beliefs #yapping #the owl house #the owl house spoilers #toh #toh spoilers #toh watching and dreaming #watching and dreaming spoilers

dreamling from dreams pov is like I am older than the stars and I will leave my shoes at the door because you do, even though I don’t know why. I’d forgotten what the world looked like before I saw it through your eyes. you give me hope. has it always been this easy? to fall, not as a comet does, but as gently as the sea goes to the shore? I am monstrous, and yet, still you bring me home. I have known love as war, as pain, but never rest. peace.

& hobs pov is like. once I loved you as the sailor loves his north star, so bright, far above him. now I think I love you better for the way you speak to children, how you hold each dreamers hopes so gently in your hands, despite, despite, despite. I would have waited forever and it would’ve been worth it. you tell me you’re a king. you whisper the secrets of the universe in my ear. still, I’m greedy. I want to know how you take your tea, what you eat in the mornings, what you look like when you’re happy down to your bones. you say you know the end of every story before we tell them, every word we’ll say before we speak and yet you come down from your kingdom to hear me tell my stories, again and again.

#dreamling #dream of the endless #sandman #hob gadling #sandman edit #sandman comics #Tom sturridge #& they’re both somehow one day you’ll tire of me & you’re the best thing I’ve seen in centuries #& simultaneously want to be kept and held and by nature Hob would never be satisfied being a kept lover the way some of dreams past loves #thought they could. & Dream knows he can come home to hob & just Be and live in his little domestic bubble & leave. no strings attached #not captured or wanted for his power his attention etc. #anyways. I just love that Hob can withstand the full attention/passion/rage of a being who’s literally older than god & ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #& call him a bitch to his face. that’s so good for him

isat pokemon au, my liege?

my rambling in tags

#my art #in stars and time #isat #isat spoilers #pokemon #siffrin #mirabelle #isabeau #odile #bonnie #i am not individually tagging pokemon sorry. floragato eevee ursaring scorbunny meowstic <- for anyone who does not know them #im personally a big fan of when artists mold pokemon designs like clay to fit their characters so i tried to channel that #siffrin really does have the perfect mystery dungeon backstory. washes up on a beach with no memories of their past type of deal yknow #i imagine that he was still a sprigatito then? and evolves at some point during their journey? dont ask me for details i dont know them #veryy tempting to make him an absol but ive already seen that done very well!! so i kept most of these to floragato sif #mirabelle being an eevee is suuuch low hanging fruit sorry. i could not resist the evolving pokemon not wanting to evolve trope #i was concerned that sif was no longer shortest party member until i realized they just stand on their back legs all the time to feel talle #when quadruped like mira he is still shortest. sorry siffrin #isa gave me such a hard time. like i never thought i would turn a character into ursaring of all things but it really was the best choice #my other choices were bewear or pawmot if you care. he’s so bear coded #if going purely based on looks i probably would have made odile a sneasler. but i wanted her to be psychic #ill be honest bonnie was purely vibes. they carry the treasure bag :) #never draw bonnie's hat in profile worst mistake of my life #loop is still cat shaped here but i’ve seen the idea of them changing species thrown around. much to think about #i like the idea of the party seeing sif and loop side by side and immediately clocking their entire deal #the change god is mew btw. very important information to no one but myself #eurasie as hisuian zoroark?? lots of hair. and the king can be darkrai #don’t mind the inconsistencies. me and my 2781 ways of drawing the same character #wait what does an eevee look like again. googles it. oh i really crabbed this one up #uhh. looks around. been sitting on this one for a bit too long i think. maybe ill clean up some more sketches later

spamton sweepstakes livestream out of context

it’s so small and like ultimately insignificant but imo one of the most underrated glimpses of arthur’s natural leadership in the heat of the moment/when he’s not under Dutch’s thumb is this moment during the siege on shady belle when he gets into position after smashing the shit out of the window and immediately calls out “is everyone accounted for?”

and john’s like “idk, i think!” and Arthur I-Am-Not-Fucking-Around-Right-Now Morgan shoots back with “HEY! I said, is everyone accounted for???” shortly before running through the gunfire to get to sadie, like i just know he gave john a Talking To™️ later that night

#i’ve never seen anyone have the slightest reaction to this line #but for some reason it hits for me #anyway i don’t think Arthur would want to be the leader of the gang and also i think that’s why he would be good at it #actually idk i go back and forth on it because his personality serves best in that implicit leadership role but #he could definitely have been allowed to flourish more in that area #in this essay i will #arthur morgan #rdr2 #mine

I understand that some aspects of fandom aren’t for everyone: but like when people on Twitter get so utterly scandalised about people shipping Azula and Aang together, because she tried to kill him, I have to laugh.

#Atla #Azulaang #Like how long have you been in fandom to be weirded out by that #for some people that probably makes it more interesting #Anyway #This is like the second time I’ve seen this on Twitter and I’m not even on there that much compared to here #Azulaang is like among the best for potential in hero/villain ships imo

The yearly phenomenon where u get the first rays of sunshine and ppl (me included) act like it’s summer even tho it’s still just +1 degrees out; all I can think abt is making an icey coffee treat and I saw a person casually walking outside in shorts

#also im corny so my favorite ’’joke’’ is that ’hmm what a weird light phenomenom we’ve got outside have u seen this shit??’ #it’s not even slightly funny bc overused to death #I think I’m going to make an iced americano and go for a walk and listen to hozier bc oh duuude that’s the best #and wear the leather jacket !! and sunglasses!!! (im abt to feel the coolest I’ve felt in months; winter clothes make me feel like #i’m abt 12-years-old for some reason) #I should study yes but walk first now that there’s sun that will never not help with things #march 2024 #2024

Y’all ever had a crush on a character from a source you’ve never seen or is that just me

#usb.misc #it’s Loki for me rn #I do not know HOW this happened btw #I am not a marvel fan (Spider-Man is my ONLY exception to not really liking hero stuff) #I’ve seen like 1 marvel movie not counting the Spider-Man ones #when infinity war came out I let my mom and brother drag me to theaters because spider man was in it #I had NO CLUE what was going on but my skunk lay spider guy was there so I had a great time :) #anyway my life is falling apart and it feels very much like all the stuff I do to be happy use doesn’t make me happy all of the sudden #Like I’m loosing the joy ya know #So I’m gonna lean into this <3<3 #Time to watch some marvel movies I guess!!! #Then I’ll watch the Loki show somehow <3 (cough cough *puts on eyepatch* if ya know what I’m saying) #I’m just gonna get less sleep and chase the serotonin as best I can I think #Which means playing We Happy Few until the sun rises and chasing fictional crushes <3

Mutuals!!! Beasties!!!

We went to an antique mall today for my birthday and look at what I found!!

The whole top floor was full of vintage toys and dolls/Barbie’s, I wanted to buy everything 😭

#monster high #the tall ghoul on the counter wasn’t for sale I wanted her so bad 😭 #the one in box on the shelf was for sale but she was 250 bucks #I’m definitely going back there when I get paid they can take all my money #they also had an oddity room where I also wanted to buy everything 😭 #10/10 today was a good day #the lady who worked this part of the store is also autistic/has adhd #and she said one of her hyperfixations is Barbie and dolls #I swear this woman info dumped about dolls to this girl who was looking for 80s Barbie’s #for a good 30 minutes #I wanted to talk with her so bad I’ve never seen someone else info dump about dolls before I want to be her best friend 😭 #we’re going back there some time this week so maybe I’ll get to talk to her next time we go #if you live in Virginia this place is in VA beach!

Y’know what? Y’all want angst?— FINE
