Regarding the ask with starstruck’s star spears and Galacta,I’m guessing they have some sort of beef? Maybe they’ve met in the past?

[x] i'm not sure if i'd call it beef so much as the whole entire herd of cattle

#my art #asks #starstruck dee #galacta knight #🎀🔍 #hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby real. #everyone made so many great guesses on that post!!! i absolutely adored reading everyone's thoughts and theories! #thank you thank you thank you!! it was so fun!! waaa!!! <3 #we got close enough to the answer that i was looking for this time; which was “mimicry” #and with some bonus additional comments on his proximity in every image where the Star Spears appeared. which was great spotting!! #so here's this piece as promised! #it's not the *only* answer though. #sorry that this one is sooooo sketchy. i adore this composition though so i will do my very best to come back to it some time in future #lyrics from sea of voices by porter robinson which was actually sent in for starstruck!! hope you'll enjoy this lunala8368! #it was the second best!! i could not put the original lyrics that belong there for...

hi just thinking about how in s9e9 (taking the fifth) hawkeye gets a response to his bulletin for a night of bordeaux in the supply tent thats literally says "i really love good wine, and i think it would be fun to share a few belts with you. signed, chastity"

are we supposed to believe that's not implied to be mulcahy?? sir???

#the continuing saga of “em watches mash for the first time and has fallen in love with hawkahy” #i cant believe ive fallen on the hawkahy train but here we are #i continue to think theyre neat okay #can you imagine either an ep au where hawk takes “chastity” up on the offer??? #or maybe a scene after the ep where a upset mulcahy is a little salty at hawkeye for not choosing him??? #the POTENTIAL #im kinda obsessed with them your honor #...this would be a good fic idea actually #👀👀👀 #hawkahy #idk if im sold yet on this tag but #otp: button up your overcoat / you belong to me #father mulcahy #francis mulcahy #hawkeye pierce #em starts mashposting #mashposting #m*a*s*h

got sad abt fawn’s little motel room again 😞

#gideon shut the hell up challenge #we were thinking abt it in canon but then thought abt it in v3/v3au so. now we have to talk abt those #themmy who gets to be the first to get invited over. it takes a bit to build up to it and then even after they all think they’re ready #it takes another few days to actually Work Up To It. themmy gets first pick bc they’re the least intrusive of the group #the ortegas are close to the group ofc but they are nosy and pushy but this is The Becker’s space. so they get told no when they ask #if they can tag along. (they ofc get approval later after a few times of themmy getting to visit #bc 1. they won’t stop asking but 2. they’re more comfortable w the permitted intrusion that they get a test run) #honestly I feel like one of the ortegas would offhandedly ask Whose room it is (bc they expect them each to have their own) #and the siblings are like no it’s Ours. plural. and then the topic gets dropped bc they’re skittish enough already they won’t push more rn #ohhh the besties giving them little house warming gifts to help spruce the place up but next time they go over it still looks just as plain #except u ask ‘hey what happened to [xyz]?’ and they retrieve it from wherever it’s squirreled away #solo!survivor au…. imagine having to go back to the motel room alone for the first time #you know where the traces of your siblings are hidden. but they aren’t in immediate sight so it feels so Empty. #digging out all of their belongings just to have them closer to you even if it goes against everything you’ve all done this whole time #maybe you don’t stay alone. maybe you invite an ortega over. maybe you invite both. #maybe they show up with a bottle of wine each and none of you say anything bc you don’t know what you even would #maybe they help you pack up everything to move apartments. maybe you don’t let them touch anything. maybe them just being there is enough

I feel like as a child I was Strange and Unsettling Enough ™ that my mother had suspicions about how weird I was, but I was her first kid so she just chalked it all up to Normal Child Behavior ™ every time I did something new.

Now we’re both realizing I was just really fucking weird.

#i got diagnosed with adhd after highschool #and we both looked at each other and went ‘oooooooooh’ #also some stories from my childhood just sound like something that belongs in a weird monster story #or just like #a modern story about changelings #maybe human are space orcs???? #oh this small child has an obsession with art? yeah that’s normal #oh the teachers literally have to restrain the child and make them go last during arts n crafts time? #that’s less normal but still acceptable #oh shit the child needs braces do we have dental insurance?? #hey the child kinda forced their own teeth to grow straight now we don’t need to go to the dentist:) #yeah that’s perfectly fine:)) #yknow maybe we should not let her cut her own nails she keeps filing them into points #where are these bruises coming from? who knows #this child has a concerning ability to stay quiet when something is wrong #like when SHE FRACTURED HER NOSE AND NOBODY KNEW #this child learned so many animal sounds!! that’s so cool:) #young child why do you know about the donner dinner party you are in fifth grade #why do you know how to mummify a person in extensive detail this is sixth grade #ah yes #carving atalatals for fun is a completely normal activity side note where did she get the knife #I’m calling myself out in third person #listen I did a lot of weird shit and I was a little bloodthirsty bitch #especially with my two brothers #by the time the girls were born I mellowed out and instead started corrupting the kids #i still bite tho #no bark and all bite #pondhead rambles

Also my ex step family that I lived with from ages 9-17 or so but haven't really spoken to since reached out. They brought food to my dad's place today (we were going through & packing up his closet) and we all hung out for an hour and a half and chatted. And it was surprisingly nice, but also made me ache so very deeply. Bc for my adolescence, this was a family of 6. Then it got cut down to 3 from the divorce. And then I got a taste of how life was, except it was only 5, and also everything is different. I'm such a different person than I was at 17 years old. These people were my family, but I've grown beyond them. A part of me feels like a vulnerable little kid again with them. More of me feels like an assistant manager between jobs with too many exes and an IT degree that's been In Progress for almost 9 years now.

And above it all, my dad is fucking dead. It's an ache that colors everything else in my life right now.

#speculation nation #negative/ #sorry for the series of negative posts again im just gettin In it i guess #i think they feel like. idk. his death was a wakeup call or something #made them realize how much time has passed. #maybe it's sympathy. knowing how much it must hurt us to have lost our dad so young. #maybe they feel like since hes not around anymore we can all be a family like we used to be. #but it's like. plucking a piece from a succulent plant. #it knows where it once belonged. it can see it still shares the same origins. the same Family. #but it's grown. in time it's grown roots. stems. segments. it's a plant in its own right. #so it sees its original plant and it knows it once belonged. but it doesnt Fit anymore. #that's how this all feels. it's hard to trust it. hard to feel like it'll last. #but a part of me longs for it. but i also just long for the people we used to be. #back when i was happy. back when i didnt feel like i was living with a perpetual ache. #things werent perfect. but i was happy. it might have been the last time i was truly happy.

#i wish we could adopt her so sooo bad she's so sweet and i don't think she belongs to anyone in the neighborhood #like nobody knows where she came from #i think our neighbor is taking her to get fixed but all our neighbors have dogs so none of us can just take her in without complications :-( #the closer to actual winter we get the more i wonder if i should try to take her to a shelter #i would miss her so much but since my parents aren't interested in taking her in at least she would be warm at a shelter :-( #and maybe she could find a loving home 😭😭😭😭 #bro i love her so much i wish i could have a puppy and a kitty 😭😭😭😭😭

hunters outfit and hidey hole look. awful but i know exactly where and why he got every bit of it and thats props to toh for having really good bg visual storytelling + character motives

#TOH spoilers #TOH #kipspeak #pants and shoes self explanatory kept them #shirt he kept but threw his jersey on over it because that’s a hexside thing. He definitely belongs here and should be here #People will question him rooting around in the library less if he’s wearing hexside stuff. Probably. #cloak thing that’s definitely like a prop from the theatre made of a blanket or something. it’s to be….. hidden #uh. Sort of. Hey anything to make you feel safer buddy #Not actually sure where he got that gray bandaWAIT yes I do. Luz. hunting palismen #… maybe flapjack went back and got it for him #aw….. he kept all of the stuff his friends gave him #he chucked that gold armor layer though. It’s not in his pile #hex mix and apple juice (blood now that we know there’s. Non alcoholic versions) - cafeteria leftovers #flapjack s was trying to bring him actual food but it WAS from the trash. dude is probably kind of hungry #I assume the sleeping bag was just here like the broom. The bag was either also here; in lost and found; or he nabbed it #FULL of glyphs and paper #sleeping bag obvious. Cozy. Bag of glyphs important because they saved your lives once they will do it again #The books!! From the library probably. He’s researching himself…………. #one of them says grimwalkers #reading up on your species. Looks like they’re not the most helpful though based on how they’re set and how there’s three? #all this to say TOH has really good visual storytelling #like gus’ eye thing 1) RULES 2) is a visual indicator of Spell Worky (also it’s metaphorical) #but the background/character/prop design is very good at hey wait I just realized he has a purse too where did you get that one bud #have I seen that before? #anyways 2 hunter love the cloak he love layers.

Just saw how those VMA votes are going…

Maybe we should collectively get together and put some of those votes towards Paramore-

#Lana is at around 300k and Paramore has around 292k #you know what FOB is at?? 62k 💀 #I love them with everything I have but no amount of manifestation and delusion is gonna get us that win 😭 #maybe if they would’ve put FOB in the damn rock category where they belong we’d have a better chance 💀 #this is why these award shows ain’t shit they literally know nothing about music it’s not even funny #it’s okay we can manifest the SMFS Grammy win instead what do you guys think #ANYWAYS I like Paramore I’d rather see them win

Just read Ch.20 of The Universe & couldn't help but imagine y!Anakin getting increasely jealous of Vader/Obi-Wan & eventually Vader tells y!Anakin that there's no need to worry bc when Anakins legal they can just share their precious Obi-Wan who needs all the love he can get after being subjugate to Jinn for so long. Though instead of keeping poor Obi-Wan on as his Padawan he lets him be knighted (hes amazing) as soon as Obi-Wan knows his place as Vaders pet (collar). Then they co-master Anakin.

(based on this post) ohhhhhhhhh my god?? yeah.

poor Qui-Gon Jinn, man. first, this guy shows up and takes his padawan – and yeah, he sort of tried to get his padawan knighted so he could take on a new one, but still. imagine how he felt when Obi-Wan didn’t go through the Trials, and instead started calling this new guy ‘master’

this new guy who gets this look of vicious victory in his eyes every time he hears Obi-Wan call him that, and who always has a hand on Obi-Wan in some way, and who steals Obi-Wan away from the training rooms after they spar with eyes that are more pupil than iris. (and are those irises sometimes…yellow? Qui-Gon can’t tell; he can’t ever get close enough to see because Vader is always with Obi-Wan and Vader, for some reason, does not want Qui-Gon (or anyone) near Obi-Wan at all)

sometimes he worries that if he gets too close, Vader will growl and bite him or something. and that concerns him, for Obi-Wan, especially when Obi-Wan starts getting these bruises that he can’t quite hide. but when Qui-Gon starts to recognize what those bruises are, especially the ones on his neck…he’s extremely concerned but needs to trust the Force and Obi-Wan, he supposes

AND THEN. he finally gets the prophesied Chosen One as his padawan (and strangely, Vader’s Force signature feels so similar to Anakin’s in some ways, though stronger and…darker?) and he’s so pumped but Anakin is always scowling over at Vader and Obi-Wan, boring holes into the spots where Vader’s hands rest on Obi-Wan and showing his teeth whenever Vader twines Obi-Wan’s (new) braid around his fingers

at first Qui-Gon thinks it’s just typical jealousy – Obi-Wan got to grow up here and was very advanced, after all – but then in just a few years Obi-Wan gets knighted (though he’s still always at Vader’s side?) and then Qui-Gon’s called into the Council Chambers to find that Anakin wants to be trained by Obi-Wan, now, please, and when the Council says Obi-Wan’s only just become a knight, Vader puts a hand on Obi-Wan’s shoulder (Qui-Gon’s surprised it wasn’t there already) with that smile that makes Qui-Gon very uneasy and says he and Obi-Wan can train Anakin together

Obi-Wan smiles gratefully at Vader. Anakin beams at Obi-Wan. Vader smiles smugly, triumphantly at Qui-Gon

Qui-Gon isn’t one to question the Force, but this……this doesn’t feel like the will of the Force. it feels the the suffocating, unmitigated will of Vader

#i will be writing an installment about the council meeting where obi-wan becomes vader's padawan and it will be just as unhinged #maybe i'll write more of this one too bc i have some. ideas #ALSO?? ANON??? ONCE ANAKIN'S LEGAL THEY CAN SHARE??? #TWO ANAKINS OBSESSED W AND DOTING ON AND RAILING OBI-WAN: IT'S WHAT OBI-WAN DESERVES! #though they'd still be super jealous of each other KLFDHSLK #but we all know obi-wan belongs to vader <3 #obikin #vaderwan #ask

SaL anon here friend, back to (continue to) bitch in your inbox. Just read @outrunningthedark's excellent comments on the sperm donor arc on my lunch break and felt the need to continue my tirade. I would add to her observations that, while we did see Buck break up with TayKay, it was over "drama" not a choice on Buck's part after really considering if he was happy (and why it fell so flat next to the eddieana breakup). Anyway when I left off I was bitching about how illogical the whole premise

of this arc was, and would have probably dropped my whinging over how nonsensical everything about it was if not for last episode. How the hell did we get from Buck saying "donor, not dad" to Hen in episode 3 to "I'm going to be a father" in the finale?? Is there some conversation that happened in KR's head she forgot to mention?? Because Buck seems pretty clear on what his role is in this whole process when talking to Hen, but now has done a 180 and is calling himself a dad. That's a pretty big leap, and while I agree Buck can get pretty enthusiastic or go overboard as part of his personality, he's not fucking naïve!! He knew then, and if he didn't, as you pointed out once, the mountain of paperwork he would have to sign to be a donor, that makes clear he's giving up all rights to that, sure as hell would!! So what changed, why is Buck suddenly convinced he's going to be playing a role in this kids life? More importantly, Eddie's snarky comment aside, why aren't his friends calling him out on this?? Again, this seems so contrived as a way to put Buck through the wringer at the expense of making him ignorant (what's that?? Oh, its the echoes of Michael Guerin's s4 plot). Anyway that wraps up both lunch and my bitching on this particular aspect of this dumb arc, next up we can talk about how there is no good way to wrap up this storyline or accomplish what KR supposedly wants (Buck's growth). Till later!!

Okay so first of all, I could have saved both of us some panic if I actually READ your ask thread instead of just the heading that comes across my notification because you clearly ended your last part saying it was the last part! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ My B!

I’m glad we’re going to have another ask thread to talk about where this arc goes from here because the more I think about it and the more I read other people’s comments about it, more I become incandescently furious about the whole thing, especially in regards to what Buck is supposed to be getting out of this arc now that there is a baby. So it’s probably better that we haven’t gotten that far yet because right now my response would just be 

ANYWAY, at least on this point I have somewhat of an answer I think! It seems like KR misinterpreted the line in her interview because what I and may others heard (and I believe saw on their captions as well) was “I guess it’s easier when you can just say “I’m going to be a father”.” Meaning, Buck’s trying to figure out how to say “I got this lady pregnant” without implying he did anything with her or is actually the father.

Here’s the thing though. That....kinda makes it worse? If he’s already moved past his concerns and is accepting the “donor not dad” thing then....why is the arc not closed? If he’s already gotten to the acceptance part, why didn’t we see any of that happening? (Again, I have...MANY THOUGHTS about that possibly being the closure of the arc but that’s not the point right now.) More importantly, since this clearly ISN’T the closure of the arc, WHEN is Buck going to start questioning things? Because up until now, he’s been super chill about the whole thing and quite frankly, now that there is a baby it is TOO FUCKING LATE to say “actually, I don’t think I can do this”. So where can this even go? I’m interested to hear your thoughts and if they’ll help make mine any more coherent but I’m just baffled at what they think they are doing here. This arc has had ZERO tension once he said yes. No on has pulled him aside to have A Talk and tell him they have concerns, which would allow him to get defensive and maybe give us a peek at what’s going on in his head (a mystery for quite some time now), the couple came to yell at him at work, but we saw he wasn’t trying to back out or even having concerns so it wasn’t anything, we haven’t seen him struggling or having second thoughts, just totally on board with the whole thing. So....what? The baby dies? Hard pass. The couple ghosts him? Buck gets left behind again. Shocker. He suddenly realizes he can’t have a baby and not be involved? Tough fucking luck, it’s happening and you can’t back out now. What is he gonna do, sue for custody/visitation rights? 

I know I said we were gonna talk about it later and we WILL, but just a thought to percolate on here, what is Buck supposed to learn from this storyline? Because the options are...limited.

a) It’s okay for people to use you for parts and you need to be more accepting of that and just be happy you were able to help them. Yeah, that’s the OPPOSITE of the less Buck as a character needs to learn.

b) That he’s just better off as “fun Uncle” and is totally cool knowing there’s a kid out there that’s his and he doesn’t need to be involved/is okay just getting cards and maybe sending a few gifts over the years/maybe kids aren’t for him? Again, NOTHING that fits with the character OR what the character needs to grow. His whole story has been about finding love and building a family and having people who will stay. Does he HAVE to have a biological child to make that happen? No, but HAVING a biological child and walking away because he’s “learned” he doesn’t need one to be happy doesn’t fit for him either. If he struggled and walked away BEFORE donating, they could go that route, but even still, for what we know of his character, I think having a child that’s his could be something important for him (one of the reasons I love a “Buck is asked if he wants to formally adopt Chris” arc in fics, because Buck really needs to know that he is tied to people), and brushing it off AFTER a baby is already on the way doesn’t really work.

c) That he isn’t ready to be a dad yet, and needs tp practice being on the sidelines of a child’s life? Not only does he have a niece for that, we have literally seen him “practicing” with Chris since season 2! 

Please, tell me where else this story could go? Because you know those two random side character completely divorced from the first responder world aren’t going to just be major fixtures in Buck’s life, hanging around. We didn’t even get to hear about Bobby’s sponsor who has been instrumental in his recovery and is besties with the whole Grant-Nash family, until two minutes before he was killed off. 

Anyway, gotta stop now and go watch some other show for a bit before I start eating drywall about this. Can’t wait to hear more of your thoughts my friend! This hiatus is going to be rough I think....
