my fave alabasta shipping dynamics is pre-established zolu playing matchmaker (how successful they are? eehhhh) for pining namivivi

#this is 100% a flip on that one fanfic script of 'pre-established background lesbian pairing playing matchmaker to the main #'disaster gays' mlm pairing'. that so commonly clogs up the wlw pairings ship tags (<- has experienced the horrors of homestuck ao3) #but also I do think it fits the respective ship dynamics better because zolu is SUCH a comfortable QPR/bfs pairing while namivivi are a #dramatic. angst filled star crossed lovers/'in love and war'. bittersweet pairing #also the potential zoro and nami dynamic aaaa #I love those two so much. he would be SOO annoying about her predicament and she would rack up his dept SOOO much XP #psii.txt #text #god I wish I could write fanfic sometimes #not that I'm expecting anyone to. but if you want 👁️👁️. if you WANT 👀 #this is open for anyone to pick up and do what you wish just PLEASEEEE tag me. please 🙏 #namivivi #zolu #<- also in character for me to crosstag the side pairing to clog up the tag btw. its for the bit ok m sorry XP

i just want you to know that i think about alpha prince floyd everyday

:o thank you!!!!! I'm happy he lives rent-free. I also think about him from time to time. He is the sweetest alpha prince there ever was. <3

#sweet messages #he's so fluffy and soft uwu #omg omg floyd in captivity and you're the omega researcher looking after him #and one day you go into heat unexpectedly while tending to him #and he's so curious yet so soft and tender when helping you through it #he unintentionally pair-bonds with you as a result >:) #floyd later mourns the fact that he didn't have any eggs to give you when you were in heat (which he mistakes for your breeding season) #i often write about zuzu in captivity but floyd has much potential too!!!!

[whippersnappersbookworm]

I was recently watching kalank( yeah don't judge) and I maybe have a slightly controversial opinion. I think Roop and Dev had huge potential. I want someone to write an arrange marriage Au with these two!!!! Any writers if you are listening please write this!!!!

#kalank #desiblr #fanfic #I HAVE A VISCERAL NEED TO SEE THESE TWO AS A PAIR!! #it has so much potential

oh lmao did i not say what it was? it's not some 'oooh ahhh' thing i just had a Cute Thought and went "yeah i can dig that!". its simply Niche!

super normal about them

#tf2 #demoheavy #soldierheavy #stand by the weird thing where I pair heavy and medic up with anyone but eachother. #love heavymedic n all. Their dynamic has so much potential but just don’t draw them a lot #might change that in the future #art #tf2 fanart #quotidianish

breaking news: surprising absolutely no one, pik has fallen in love with the fast paced fps game where the big, silent badass of a main character's sole goal is to protect the small, squishy innocents.

#lines i did #roboquest #i love this game its great #the writing is so goofy and i cant quite tell if its intentional or of its bc they dont have an actual writer on their team but eith #either way its simple and silly and i love it #not to mention its very vague and leaves plenty of space for potential worldbuilding... #and the animations range from wonderfully clean and snappy; like the reload animations for each weapon and the enemies movement animations #to 'lets just obscure the boss under esplosion textures and lower it under the floor so we dont actually have to animate it exploding' and #its still hilarious to watch every time #music is DAMN GOOD #gameplay is comparable to modern doom #a little rougher around the edges but hey its an indie studio not a triple a and theyre still working on it #npc designs are DELIGHTFUL. why does the robot wear a fake mustach. why does the robot with a single optic wear a normal pair of goggles. #they have so much character despite none of them uttering a single word ever #except for max i guess; she has dialogue. but shes also Literally The Only Human In The Game so like. she gets a pass. #anyway more of my mutuals should buy it so we can co-op it together. #(mutuals if u buy it let me know id be 100% down to co-op it with u)

Bought a pair of pants at goodwill earlier but all the ones I've been to have had their changing rooms closed the whole pandemic so couldn't try them on... did pull out my measuring tape that's on my keys and they were pretty much my size, but I have discovered that while they would fit well if they had a normal waistband, they actually have a stretchy waistband (like, strip of elastic sewn the whole way around) and thus are so big that they're falling off me, because their own weight kind of pulls them down so that the cuffs drag on the ground. Unclear if they're intended to be high waisted and just too big or for someone bigger in all dimensions than I am, but not the point.

I've been trying to figure out how to fix this, bc they're very comfy. I kinda wish I could just take out the elastic and do a drawstring but there's 2 buttons and a zipper that would definitely complicate things. Could also wear a belt, if I had one and if they weren't the worst sensory experience since not wearing socks.

#my first pair of pants that wasnt jeans in... potentially ever. probably not tho i bet i had cargo pants at some point #the first that i remember tho. i love jeans but i walked by this section of pants that were all so colorful and was entranced #these are purple... #there might be a way to add further elastic to the back to encourage it not to stretch... #better yet maybe line the waistband and sew thru it and the elastic a lot to try and stop it all from stretching #or most ? i guess if some parts stayed stretchy that might be okay #im incredibly bad at eyeballing whether clothes will fit me or not. i do not know what size my meat suit is at All #my jeans normally have no stretch which is what i need bc otherwise they stretch out so much i start washing them every day #just to try and make wearing them feel consistent so i dont lose my mind #point being no stretch is ideal but these dont seem as robust as jeans so idk if they can necessarily take that #*guy who has only worn jeans* idk not really getting jeans vibes from these pants... #alterations #anyway yes i meticulously measured the inseam and the waist no i didnt try stretching the waist or notice the obvious stretch design #such is life

I actually have a crazy amount of respect for Nabsgan, I think Nabsgan shippers are so powerful and I'm not even into ships that much most of the time.

I think what makes me back down and write an OC and kind of get her in a Nabsgan-adjacent dynamic in my own fanwork (sort of, there are notable differences between classic Nabsgan and Saeruk) is that I kind of always felt like Nabooru was one generation younger (it's the "little girl" comment from the Twinrova + the physical differences --but then again OoT is working with 3 polygons and a bad case of Woman Sexification, and also I suppose that anyone would be a little girl to 400 year old witches), and I guess I didn't feel strong enough to dive into the fucking mess that is the "seven years under mind control" situation if there is a romantic undercurrent involved. I'm all for absolute bubbling toxicity if Ganondorf is to be shipped with anyone (I mean, also an extreme AroAce!Ganon appreciator obvs so he doesn't have to be), but I'm kind of hesitant to dive in that sort of territory given the baggage surrounding Ganondorf and his perception in fandom regarding possessiveness and the such. I have a hard time picturing him showing any interest in someone who is incapable of resisting him or biting back when he fucks up, or even agreeing to putting someone he genuinely respects and loves/appreciates in a way that may approximate love in such a mindless state (possessing their body to do weird magic stuff? yes, that's just convenient. actually breaking their resolve until they are a mindless doll he can shape in any way he likes? I think he'd hate the result and wouldn't want anything to do with it --but that's just me!)

Of course, there's always the "he didn't know/he didn't care anymore/he didn't show up when that happened and that's between the Twinrova and Nabooru, he just did not really bother to get involved", but it's still generally loaded territory!!!!

But again, enormous kudos to people willing to work that complicated line, because the dynamic is explosive and inherently interesting.

#thoughts #ganondorf #nabooru #saeruk #nabsgan #ganondorf x oc #I don't really get how people are invested in ships normally #I'm not into ships I'm into trainwrecks #just as like. watching from afar and being like “ooo aoutch oof wouldn't have liked that” #but I can get invested if they reveal character depth #and given how ganondorf is usually portrayed in canon #I think pairing ganondorf with one (or several) gerudos has tons of potential to actually reveal something more vulnerable about him #that hylians wouldn't get to see #nabooru has tons of built-in conflict too so yaay what it reveals about both of their shortcomings can be!! cool!!! #my take on nabooru is more #the voice of a younger generation who annoys him so fucking much #but he can't deny she's extraordinarily skilled even if she obviously Hate Him and killing her would be a very unpopular move #(also. Baggage. with Nabooru's mother. he's not the father he just. got her mom executed when she was a child. over bullshit. anyway.) #also she radicalizes the younger generation (against him) (rude) #if I ever get the stamina to go that far in thralls she's a MUCH bigger character than in descant and she's very fun #and philosophically/strategically very lucid about the very down-to-earth limits to his boundless ambition #even if she has her own shortcomings of course #so here's hoping!! #they grate each other's nerves so much!!! <3

Rowing the Rarepair Rowboat: Audrey Rose x Uma (Descendants)

Requested by @bonniesdamons

Gentle waves lap at Audrey's legs on the shore. They're getting dangerously close to her dress; her gran would kill her if it got ruined. She tucks her knees up a little closer, and for some reason, she cries harder. Burying her face in her hands, she tries to push away the intruding thoughts, but they only grow louder, shrouding her in cold loneliness.

Nothing she does will ever be enough. She can't make Ben love her. She can't prove to her gran that she'll make a good queen because clearly, no one else thinks it's true! And after everything she's done to make herself perfect for them all.

She dyed her hair. She changed almost her whole less -- from pretty dresses of the most divine materials from her kingdom to cold leather that makes her feel constantly constricted. She tried to be less mean, then more mean, and softer and then not too soft. But it's not enough. She will never be able to compete with her.

Another cold wave laps at her leg, soaking her to her knees. Her skin prickles as it shies away again, leaving her with the feeling of being dragged with it. She moves her hands from her eyes -- she scrabbles to get away from the water, but the teal tentacle stays wrapped around her ankle.

There's only one thing for it: she screams. She tries to pry off the creature to no avail. Her whole body stills as the tide goes out and more tentacles emerge onto the shore. Her throat tightens around her voice as though also at the mercy of one of the limbs.

Finally, a head appears. Some of Audrey's fear ebbs away at the sight of the familiar face, but caution remains as Uma shakes her hair out of her face.

"Let go of me," Audrey demands, internally cursing the quiver in her own voice. Her grand and her mother would never allow themselves to present so weak and vulnerable.

Uma's lips curl into a wicked, open-mouthed smile. "Oh, what do we have here? A damsel in distress?"

"I am not a damsel," Audrey seethes, her built-up anger from the most recent events spilling out like nasty sewage. "And the only thing distressing me right now is you, and your... slimy suckers!"

"Well, that's not very nice," Uma says, pouting with false offence. Even so, she rolls her eyes and loosens her hold on Audrey's ankle, bringing her tentacle back to her side. "I only came out to see what all the wailing was about."

Audrey glares at her, tucking her legs up under the safety of her dress. Her hands smooth over the pale pink leather for a small comfort. She should probably be running back to the castle right now. Only, what then? No one would care. She could run in crying and screaming about Uma's return, and some attempt on her life, and still everyone would probably turn away from her.

She stays planted in the sand, hoping that Uma might simply leave her to wallow in her own misery. She watches her pull herself up onto a nearby rock jutting out of the water.

The last time Audrey saw her was Cotillion, so it's a little strange to see her in... well, her natural habitat, she supposes. The clamshells she wears over her chest are a similar shade to the dress she had on back then. Her seashell necklace still hangs from around her neck, only it's not glowing now.

"So, what happened?" Uma leans back on her hands and tilts her chin to look down at her with that same wicked smirk of a smile. "Mommy won't let you go to the ball? Prince Charming turn out to not be so Charming?"

She was about to hit back with some snarky reply, but upon hearing prince, her mind goes straight to Ben. Her eyes well up with furious tears once again.

"I hate them," she bites out. "Stupid Princes. And the Kings, too -- hell, all of them! They're all the same! And I have no idea how to be one of them, even though I've been royalty my entire life. So why does she get to just slide in so perfectly and claim my place when she knows nothing about any of it?!"

She wipes at her eyes roughly with the heel of her hand as the injustice of it overwhelms her all over again.

"Sorry, you lost me a bit there." Uma's brow furrows. "So... some other princess... took something from you?"

"She took everything from me," Audrey corrects. "My boyfriend. The crown that was meant to be mine. My grandmother's respect for me. I was supposed to be Queen of Auradon, and Ben was meant to be my husband, not hers! Mal doesn't deserve any of this! She doesn't even have to try, and people just fall head over heels for her! But I have been trying so hard my entire life and, somehow... I just keep getting it wrong!"

There's a groan from the rock and she looks at Uma.

"I am so sick of that girl getting her way every single time," Uma says darkly. "She takes and she takes, and there are no consequences. She just gets to... get away with ruining everyone else's lives, especially the ones that no one else seems to care about. Like us."

Audrey's heart stings but she can't deny it. Nobody cares about her. Maybe her gran does, somewhere deep down, and perhaps her parents, but it certainly doesn't feel like it most of the time. Chad just loves the attention. Ben... never really did. That much is obvious; he wouldn't have been so quick to dump her and forget she ever existed if any of his feelings were real.

Hurt and bitter, she watches Uma with growing curiosity. "You tried to get back at her... Mal, I mean. Last year, at Cotillion."

Uma shrugs and looks away, expression souring. "It was an idea. Didn't think it through too well, apparently. It's on me for not remembering that the "power of true love" always saves the day. Hooray."

The sarcasm drips from her voice like thick honey.

"Still," she continues, inspecting one of the suckers on a tentacle, picking off a stuck seashell, "the outcome has been worth it. Mostly. Exploring Auradon's oceans has been a lot of fun."

"But don't you still want revenge?" Audrey prompts. "Don't you think about what could've happened if you had defeated her on the ship? You could've been Queen."

Rolling her eyes, Uma says, "I never wanted to be Queen. I never wanted Ben, either. All I wanted was to be able to free everyone else on the Isle. It's all I've ever wanted."

Audrey continues to stare at her, thinking. "What if I could help you?"

Uma's eyes swivel around to meet hers sharply. "What?"

"Yeah. We could work together. I could get the crown and -- and I could get the wand, which I could then give to you! And you can free the whole Isle and do whatever you want to do."

Uma's smile is doubtful. "That's risky, Princess. Blindly trusting a sea witch. Making a deal with a sea witch. Don't they teach you history in that fancy school of yours?"

"You'll get what you want," Audrey insists. "Will you help me?"

I NEED Zelda lore with good historical allegories PLEASE hire me Nintendo I would make so many good metaphorsssss

#I’ve had this fic idea in my head for literally months #since like December #the sheikah and the yiga and demise and hylia have no relevance to anyyyyy history guys haha #I mean. two large powers that have been involved in a cycle of hatred using their power to induce a proxy war to further their power? #while simultaneously harming said group by ripping it apart and then. with so much time passing the idea of reunification fading further. #until the people of that group learn to hate the other and to rely upon the powers that put them there? #huh Nintendo wonder what that could be about. #but Nintendo is a Japanese company and if you talk about that war then you gotta get into imperialism and. well… #and this is not even getting into THE GERUDO #I LOVE what the Gerudo could be SO MUCH. OH MY GOD. THE POTENTIAL. #but no. if Nintendo actually showed off cool Arab culture and stopped oversexualizing brown women people might think they’re not racist 🙄 #and we can’t have that #god I fucking love the concept of the Gerudo it’s so so so sooooo good you have no idea #I don’t have the time or energy required to write this but maybe I’ll come back in like a decade when I’ve got shit figured out and write it #anyways. I’m so normal about the Shiekah and the Gerudo. ha ha ha ha ha so so so normal #guys someone give me like a month where time stops I could write so much about settler colonialism* and the Hylians #(*I think settler colonialism paired with neo-colonialism and imperialism would be more interesting than the usual narrative of extractive #coloniaism. but also take that with a sea of salt cause no narrative surrounding colonization is really. mainstream.) #barebones of this fic idea is half-sheikah Zelda & Gerudo Shadow as foils for each other #w/ Zelda having the experience of like. 2nd gen E Asian immigrant assimilation & loss of cultural heritage while being raised in a white #society— with scraps of her textbooks and life showcasing the retelling of the colonization of the Gerudo. meanwhile Shadow is V aware of #his culture & history because Ganon’s main goal is to take control of the Hylian empire to make them pay for their past crimes #which manifests in Ganondorf being an abusive father who torments his own son because he believes it will make him strong enough to fight #against the Hylians. however surprise surprise abuse actually drives Shadow further away and he seeks refuge in Zelda & brings her books #on sheikah culture as a way to connect to her— through their shared ties to the Yiga… #and I have more but I think I’m gonna hit the tag limit and I’m rambling but like. SO MANY IDEAS #it works better visually I think though. so there’s that too. plus as aforementioned I do not have any of the things I need to write this #and it’s really important to me that it’s written well. so. that too. if I was gonna do this it would take forever with extra research &shit

ok we know the space theme, we love it, but there is SO much potential now that there’s 4.

fire, earth, water, and air.

wands, pentacles, swords, and cups.

also, keeping with the space theme, our solar system is split into two groups of planets.

two groups of 4.

#hmmm #limited life #trafficblr #traffic smp #methinks martyn is fire/wands pearl is earth/pentacles scott is water/swords and grian is air/cups #kinda bc the mean gills and skyblings both being opposing element pairs #has so much potential #limlife spoilers #limited life spoilers #oh my god i just realized how perfect the first four planets are #grian is mercury. the closest to the sun. named for the roman messenger god known for his winged shoes. #scott is venus. hottest planet. roman goddess of love. #pearl is earth. so painfully human. gaia is violent and powerful but in a way that is so pearl. #martyn is mars. people have been comparing him to this already i dont even need to explain #watch ren win the next season and be jupiter id go feral #ALSO LOOK WHAT I FOUND FOR WHAT THESE PLANETS MEAN IN ASTROLOGY #Mercury is about a quick wit quick thinking possibilities opinions reasoning and the ability to rationalize things #Venus rules our sentiments what we value and the pleasure we take in life. #The Earth represents your physical location and dharma or sense of purpose.

Idk exactly what went down with Darla in this show (though I do have a vague idea), but I can say they clearly did her wrong.

#she should have been in it til the end and it's a fucking crime she wasn't #darla is a captivating character and i can see so much potentional for truly amazing storylines there #and much as i love shamelessly evil darla giving angel someone to grow alongside with would have done so much for his character #but i gather darla got the same treatment as literally every other female character on this show #sacrificed at the altar of manpain #and aside from darla deserving better #julie benz is truly a treasure of an actress #she deserved a long run and possibly a spin off #ats #darla #it's a bit early and i've changed my mind several times on angel pairings - but i think angel x darla is my ats otp for him #like my stance so far has largely landed on cookie dough!angel because it's hard to see him as functional in a relationship #but the goddamn potential of this wow #also how much cooler would this show have been if instead of...whatever kind of nonsense i hear they did to poor cordy #the storyline in between big bads/wolfram & hart nonsense focused on healing angel's past #growth for darla and dru then spike in s5 #coming back together in a new way #it's a very poorly formed concept for me #but essentially the vibe is instead of angel continually fighting to kill his past he reconciles with it #allows it to connect with his new life and integrates the disjointed pieces of himself into one imperfect whole #jeez five minutes of screentime for darla and i'm crafting essays in my tags 😆 #2x05 dear boy
