I know a lot of people are like "Oh I wish Tolkien was still alive so he could see how much we as a fandom appreciate his work" and you are right but holy shit if the man would still be alive he would not have his peace, especially not if he had any social media or came in touch with the fandom in any other ways. People would ask him in his dms questions like "Is Fingon a top or a bottom?" (Pushing my bottom Fingon agenda shamelessly) "Would Thingol put pronouns in bio?" "Is Fingolfin in your opinion a himbo?" And he would have no idea what everyone was talking about. There would be people sending him Nsfw Bagginshield fanart and people would probably ask if Russingon is canon and the russingon discourse girlies would be so bitchy about anything he says about it. Even if he didn't say anything about russingon, they would still be so fucking annoying about him not saying anything. There would be people asking him about feanorian apologists and feanorian discourse and what was his opinion on them and he'd have no idea they even exist. People would push their discourse on him and he'd be so confused like what are you talking about. People would send him their headcanons and ask him to confirm them canon. "Hey Mr. Tolkien, is Tuor a trans woman confirmed?" "Mr. Tolkien sir, I think Aredhel is a lesbian and you can't convince me otherwise so you might as well confirm it."
Jrr Tokien would not have his peace from the absolutely unhinged community that is the fandom of his work.

I see someone write for Voltron, I request. Anywho, I wonder how an enemies to lovers scenario would go with Keith and a Female s/o. S/O is goofy, too kind for this world, and naive and yet is still gets good grades. However, much to Keith's luck, she's denser than bricks and is oblivious to his dislike towards her.
HOLY SHIT I HAVENT SEEN THIS UNTIL NOW IM SO SORRY IDEK WHEN YOU REQUESTED THIS
now idk if you wanted it in the cannon au or a high school setting, but I'll do both
IS THE VOLTRON FANDOM EVEN STILL ALIVE?? I NEED VOLTRON MOOTS
canon paladin au
☆ keith hates anyone that continues to bother him even after he drops subtle hints to leave him alone
☆ like you'll be going on and on about some topic that he doesn't care about
☆ but he can't bring himself to tell you to shut up
☆ you and lance are the duo to end him
☆ a goofy smart one, and a questionable goofy one
☆ its more of a one sided enemy rivalry type situation, since you think keith is fine with you (he's not)
☆ he can't help but notice the small things about you
☆ but he thinks that's because you irritate the shit out of him
☆ it's not
☆ your constantly happy-go-lucky mood actually makes him feel better at times
☆ he'll start to warm up to you and maybe even discover his feelings for you, realizing he doesn't hate you
☆ he'll start getting a bit more flustered while training with you
☆ and you'll be oblivious to this as you were with his hatred for you a while back
☆ eventually he'll gather the courage to ask you out only to find out you've liked him ever since you met him
☆ he felt guilty because he really did not like you during that time
☆ you're the yin to his yang </3
high school/galaxy garrison academy
☆ he dreaded having you as his tutor
☆ you were too. . . nice (for his lil emo broken hearted self)
☆ he didn't like that, and he hated having you teach him
☆ you managed to keep him from dropping out, and even he can't explain why he decided not to
☆ he never responded to your questions, but you didn't let that deter you from you smiling brightly at him and continuing on
☆ he realized he really did listen to you, and in fact, his grades massively improved
☆ he still did not feel like interacting with you though
☆ until one day where your mood was obviously different
☆ you didn't even bother continuing on when keith didn't respond, and instead went quiet and stared down at the textbook in front you
☆ he thought you were simply reading ahead, just in case you didn't know the material, but minutes passed and you stayed silent.
☆ "you alright?" keith asked
☆ you nodded and simply carried on, finally breaking the silence with what seemed like a less energetic version of how you usually act
☆ eventually, you told him by the end of the session that someone had told you that he absolutely despised you
☆ rare keith L
☆ which was true. a few months ago.
☆ now he was absolutely enamored with you
☆ your personality really brings out the best in him and he realized that
☆ he quickly argued against that statement and while stumbling over his words, he accidentally confessed
☆ he would never forget that that's the most joyful he's ever seen you

Ok to start off LILA. LILA MY GAL NO UR DOING UR BEST AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Im crying im actually fucginf crying. She's trying. So hard. Skid is trying so hard. THEY'RE DOING THEIR BEST PLEASEEEEE. Father Gregor can go EAT SHIT. THEY'RE TRYING AND THAT'S WHAT COUNTS GODDAMNIT.
Susie… Susie no… please… she deserves better istgggggg. What happened to their parents? Are they actually just busy? Are they DEAD? Holy shit what if they're dead. Poor Pump, poor Susie, god please just let these kiddos be ok. PLEASE. ABUELO WONDER IS TYING SO HARD BUT SUSIE KNOWS IT ISN'T REALLY FROM HER PARENTS IM CRYING. SUSIE NOOOOOO
FATHER GREGOR I HATE YOU. ok well he obvs did some good but STILL. GREGOR. STFU GREGOR. I get that hes trying but U CANT JUST SAY ALL THAT SHIT ABOUT JUDGEMENT AND THEN JUDGE HER HER FUCKING HOUSE GOT BROKEN INTO!! YOU DONT HAVE THE FUCKING CONTEXT!!!! ARGHFDGHJSGHJKAGHSD. Also DAMN IS HE A CULTIST NOW?? IS HE DEAD?? WHAT?!?!?!
ROYYYYYY ROY MY BOI NOOOOOO poor guy :( i understand why he hates the kids they DID kinda ruin him so. At least he knows theyre trying now :( and ross n rob just ASSUME he did something bad isnt helping here!!!! I get that theyre also trying to help him and its nice to see him opening up to them about stuff (even if we dont get to know what specifically PELO WHY) but PLEASE get this kid an anger management class or smthn PLEASE. He needs SO MUCH THERAPY. I dont think hes gonna get therapy because im pretty sure his parents are Part Of The Problem but STILL.  Also FUCKER LITERALLY GOT POSSESED BY A DEMON?????? THATS GOTTA BE TRAUMATIC TF
Side note i love ross and robert dearly and i appreciate them doing their best to help on both sides i love them smmmmmm AUGH
KEVIN AND RADFORD FRIENDSHIP REALLLLLLLLLL i am SO fucking happy about that!!!! Also Kevin having conflicted feelings on the kids FAIR. Similar thing to Roy except hes an adult with a semi-functional support network and is able to understand that theyre just dumb kids and they dont actually mean any harm. He’s harsher on the hatzgang cuz theyre teens and old enough to know stealing is wrong but Skid n Pump are little kiddos they dont know better. Also him disapproving of father gregor REAL THO. also HE GOT POSSESSED TOO?? TRAUMA CENTRAL HOLY SHIT
PATTY DESERVES TO HAVE A GUN ACTUALLY. Also JOHN ANGST JOHN ANGST JOHN ANGST! IS HIS KID DEAD? IS HIS DAUGHTER OK HOLY SHIT. ALSO THEM HELPING THE KIDS PROPERLY IM CRYIG AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

THE ENTIRE NEWGROUNDS ENDING?? THE THIEVES AND THE CANDY DEALER IN CAHOOTS WITH THE CULT???? HELLO??????
MOLOCH IS GONE. he deserved it but also THE KIDS ARE SO SAD ABOUT IT? Like they don't really get it but they just watched someone they thought was their friend DIE. HOLY SHIT.
finally. SKID AND PUMP. KIDDOS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ok for real tho theyre so much more self aware than the fandom and bulk of the show give them credit for?? Like Skid is VERY aware of his dad being dead/possibly missing and legit just doesn’t wanna talk about it. He knows what death is and he finds fun in it to cope. My poor sweet boyo… and PUMP. PUMP ANSWERING THE CALL AUGHHHHHH HE WANTS HIS PARENTS BACK IM CRYING. SUSIE AND ABUELO ARE DOING THEIR BEST AND HE'S TRYING SO HARD AND AAAAAAAAAAUGH. Also him getting possessed by Moloch while having Star-Eyes basically debunks the theory of the Star-Eyes being a form of possession which is FASCINATING. Anyway that scene with Susie and Pump got me misty eyed and then during the ending with Skid and Lila i actually genuinely started crying. I just want them to be happy. Please let them be happy. Please. PLEASE.

Joel Miller x f!reader
summary: you fell in love with Joel Miller in Austin, Texas, in 2001, but you thought you lost him and your whole family in 2003 when the world turned upside down. now it's 2024, and you find the surprise of your life waiting for you in Jackson, Wyoming. or, five times you and Joel fell deeper in love, on both sides of the apocalypse (and one time you did something about it) 18+ minors DNI chapter tags/warnings: fluff, flirting, light angst, cursing, no use of y/n, no description of reader (see note below), smallish age difference (reader is 26, Joel is 32/almost 33 when they meet in 2000) (small for this fandom, anyway) (the smut comes later, y'all, we're just getting started here) a/n: Well, here we go! This is part 1. This fic is completely finished. It’s a 5+1 and for some of the 5 parts I’ll post them together (on Sundays) and for some I’ll post them separately (on Sundays and Wednesdays) just due to length. Obviously I'm posting this one early (lol). I’ll tell you whatever the schedule is for the different parts. I've paid a lot of attention to the reader's description in this fic. I've avoided skin color, hair type, body shape/size descriptions, and even clothing (except for one or two spots where you are specifically wearing jeans and boots). You are vaguely shorter than Joel. He does not run his fingers through your hair, and you feel the blood rush to your face or your face heat, but you don't turn red or pink. Please tell me if you notice anything I missed - I want this to be as inclusive as possible. word count: 1724 (for this part) series main post & chapter list | series playlist (w/ plot-related mix) ao3 | chapter 2
Chapter 1: Meet Cute
Jackson, Early Winter, 2023
You’ve been heading northwest from somewhere in Kansas, thinking you’ve never bothered going out this way, even Before, so why not? It’s been months since you saw another person. You’re not even sure the last time you spoke out loud. 
You blame the lengthy isolation for how easily they get the jump on you. 
It's just after dawn when you're rudely awakened - at first, you’re not sure why, but a second kick to your hip sends you scrambling to sit up in your sleeping bag, which is tangled around your legs. Looking around as you struggle, you realize you’re surrounded by people on foot and on horseback. Every single one of them is pointing a gun at you. You glance to the side and realize your backpack along with anything possibly useful inside of it has been kicked away from you. The woman who kicked you has a steely look in her eye that reminds you, in your half awake state, of the last boss you had Before. 
“State your business.” As she speaks you notice the two men closest to her start to fan out a bit, but you don’t dare look away from her.
“I’m just passing through, I’ve been looking for a good place to spend the winter.”
Or, that’s what you would have said, if not for the voice from your past shouting your name in shock just as you open your mouth. “No goddamn way, is that really you?”
You think you must be hallucinating, because everyone you knew Before is dead, but then Tommy fucking Miller pushes his way in front of the woman who spoke. For a moment you can’t do more than stare at each other — him with his gun hanging limply in his right hand, you with your legs still tangled in your godforsaken sleeping bag. Then you launch into motion and start to kick it away as you find your voice. It comes out shaky. Or maybe you’re shaking all over.
“Tommy? But — you’re alive? Where the hell have you been? Wait, are Joel and—“
Tommy cuts you off as he pulls you to your feet and into a tight hug. “Holy shit, we thought you were dead. Holy fucking shit.”
“We? Tommy wait, are they—“
Tommy pulls back, keeping hold of your shoulders as he looks you in the eye. He’s grinning, his eyes wandering all over your face. “He’s alive, sunshine. Or he was when he came through here about a month ago. We’re expecting them back in the spring.”
You can feel your heart racing and your whole body feels hot and tingly. You’re overwhelmed. You didn’t think you could still feel hope like this. It’s terrifying, but you have to know. “He’s- Them? They’re both alive? Sarah?”
You know the answer before he even says anything. Tommy’s face falls, his eyes drop from yours, and you feel it like a sucker punch, as bad as it was the first time around. Your knees give out even though this is what you’ve known, or tried to convince yourself must be true, for 20 years. Tommy falls gently with you to the ground.
Your baby girl. “Oh god, Sarah. And Joel, he must have been—“
“Yeah, sunshine. He thought he lost you both. It wasn’t… well. It wasn’t good.” 
You’re starting to feel numb. You have no idea what your face is doing right now, but judging by Tommy’s, it isn’t pretty. 10 minutes ago you were alone in the apocalypse, and suddenly you’re face-to-face with your almost-brother-in-law and you know, without a doubt, that your fiancé hasn’t been dead this whole time. Is this shock? It’s been 20 years since you felt a shock like this. Since you felt anything like this. 
“Tommy, I… I need to sit down.”
“Well, you are sitting down, sunshine. But get up, gather your stuff. You can come to town with us. Stay as long as you’d like.” You nod, unsteady, and Tommy guides you carefully towards what must be his horse. 
The day passes in a daze. You think you might actually be hallucinating, or still back in your sleeping bag, dreaming, because a whole, functional town? A commune, and a house they’re just going to let you have as your own? A real community? With your only remaining family, miraculously alive? It’s impossible. You float through the rest of the day and find yourself sitting on a bed in a house with indoor plumbing that somehow belongs to you, having just eaten real food in the company of the family you thought you lost 20 years ago.
You give up and go to sleep. (What else are you going to do?)
...
As you settle into life in Jackson, the knowledge that you might see Joel — your Joel, any day now — never leaves your thoughts. It’s like a drum beat at the back of your mind that only repeats his name, marking time every hour of every day. You don’t know how you’ll prepare yourself for it. How could you? You haven’t seen him in 20 years. Anything could be different. You can so easily picture him with a daughter, but it’s Sarah in your mind, not Ellie, who Tommy has told you a bit about. Every time you open those old wounds that you’ve done your best to bury it hurts like the first time. Would he still want you? Still know you? Do you still know him? Would Ellie like you? You can’t imagine not knowing Joel, or Joel not knowing you, but it’s been 20 years and people change. You’ve changed, after all. Some days you barely recognize yourself. 
You express these fears to Tommy once, but he only laughs and says his brother may be stupid but he’s not stupid enough not to want you. It’s reassuring and rude, so, exactly like Tommy. At least some things never change.
The day Joel Miller walks back into Jackson you happen to be standing on the road near the gates, talking to Tommy, and you swear he spots you in less than 5 seconds. It’s like you can’t help but look to each other first, even when you don’t know the other is alive, even when you haven’t seen each other in 20 years. You’d know the shape of him anywhere and your eyes have never stopped looking for it, never stopped catching on a set of shoulders, a cocked hip, a tilted head, only to be disappointed when it faded like a mirage. When the person in front of you didn’t fit the hole he left behind. It hurt every time. Maybe it’s been the same for him. 
Joel looks like he’s seen a ghost, and you have no idea what expression is on your face, but the moment you lock eyes all you see is the moment you first met, almost 24 years ago, like a film negative laid on top of what’s really in front of you. He’s older, of course, but so are you, and he’s still the most handsome man you’ve ever seen.
He steps towards you and whispers your name like a prayer.
Joel fucking Miller. 
Austin, Summer 2000
It was a Saturday morning in late summer, so not yet the hottest part of the day, but not comfortable, either. Your belongings were steadily moving from the truck to your new rental house under your somewhat careful supervision when movement from the house next door caught your eye. You looked up just as one of the guys from the moving company almost dropped your nightstand off the back of the truck, distracting you from the sight of a young girl, maybe about 10, rocketing out of the house next door and down her front steps. She was wearing a bright green soccer uniform.
By the time your nightstand had been righted and you looked back towards your neighbors’ house, she’d made her way to the bushes between your driveways, standing on her tiptoes and taking in all of the commotion. She met your eye and grinned. You grinned back as she called, “Hi, new neighbor!” 
You walked over, stopping on the other side of the bush to introduce yourself. “Hi there, neighbor.” 
It didn’t seem possible, but she grinned even wider. “I’m Sarah, that’s my dad.”
You looked up, realizing there was a man coming down their steps towards the two of you — the most attractive man you’d ever seen in your life. He was tall, with broad shoulders and the look of a man who spent a lot of time in the sun, tan lines peeking out of his shirt sleeves. His brown curls were a bit messy and his shoulders and strong arms drew your eye like a magnet. You caught yourself giving him a quick once over and felt your face start to warm, embarrassed, but when you met his eyes again you caught him doing the same to you. You realized you were both caught and you smiled, introducing yourself. 
“Nice to meet you, darlin’. Joel Miller, and I think you’ve met Sarah.” You felt your face turn hot at the endearment but you knew he probably didn’t mean anything by it. Southern hospitality and all. “Welcome to the neighborhood.”
You’d opened your mouth to respond when you were rudely interrupted by a crashing noise from the moving truck behind you, and you whirled around to see a box on its side on the ground that definitely should not have been. You glanced back at your neighbors as you excused yourself. “It’s great to meet you! Sorry, I need to see what that was.”
They shooed you along before you could even finish your sentence, reassuring you that they understood. “Let me know if anything broke, darlin,’ I’m pretty handy, could probably fix it. It’d be my pleasure.” He smiled at you a bit, just on one side, edging towards a smirk, and you did your best not to stare at his mouth. “Deal,” you agreed, grinning. Both you and Joel seemed unable to draw your eyes away from each other. You were stuck, pinned in place under his gaze until Sarah tugged on his arm and dragged him towards their truck. “Dad, we’re gonna be late!”
The view from the back was just as nice as the front.

Besides the fact that she’s a little weird and keeps blocking people who call her out on Twitter, she just comes across as very exploitative to me. " - She is exploitative. I haven't forgotten how she scammed the fandom (with Randy's help!) in 2005,right when Michael's trial was going on. That whole situation is why I side-eye both of them still to this day.
"She talks as if Mike and her were the closest of friends and answers private questions about his life." - yes!!!! They were not close enough for her to act like she's the sole authority on him and everyone else should just answer to her.Michael would have never wanted her to act as his mouthpiece. His kids and nephews essentially are that for him,especially Siggy.
"We all know that she was (still is tbh) in love with Michael and there’s nothing wrong with that, I mean hello I write fan fiction about this beautiful man, but her infatuation seems a little fetishy to me. Like am I the only one?" - I think she's big mad that he never let her get a taste while he was alive,considering that he gave other women the work pretty regularly. I mean,LMP was still dickmatized for years post-divorce (and this is the woman who claimed publicly that she liked to do it like a pornstar.). Could you imagine if Karen managed to get Michael's attention in any other way but professional? She'd be unbearable.
Holy shit I forgot about that scam they did. Ugh now that you’ve reminded me I’m even more annoyed by her. She needs to pipe down and mind her business.
I wonder how the Jackson family feels about her answering personal questions about mike. They probs know about it.

they are so cringe
Why Kataang is shit - a submission-based essay
Kataang - a canon het ship from the Avatar: the Last Airbender and Legend of Korra fandoms between Katara and Aang
Do you fancy your babysitter? Does she not like you back? Don't worry, if you kiss her without her consent enough times, eventually she'll come around! Throughout the show, Katara is cooks, cleans, does general chores on behalf of the group, including Aang. She is also primarily responsible for talking him down from fits of wrath (understandable fits of wrath: he's a traumatised 12 year old with godlike powers) and putting herself in harms way in order to calm him. He's also incredibly dismissive of her culture at times, and disregards her feelings when they don't align with his view of the world. SPEAKING OF WHICH he completely ignores her when she explicitely says that she does not want to talk about his feelings for her, and then kisses her without her consent (again). He not only never apologieses for this, but it is never brought up again! She just wanders over him after the battle is finished and kisses him and THAT'S THAT I GUESS?!?!?!!! THEN we get into post-canon stuff. The main cast are really out there doing the most: founding cities, ruling nations, etc... with the exception of Katara. What is Katara in the future? The Katara who was the first woman to be trained in combat-bending by the Masters of the North simply because she Would Not Shut Up until they trained her? The Katara who said she would never turn her back on people who need her? That Katara? She's a wife and mother now and that keeps her very busy. To be honest I haven't read most of the comics because they're famously awful and even Kataang fans don't like a lot of them. it's offensive when a female character exists only as a trophy for the main guy to win, but it's doubly insulting when that female character has so many layers and so much complexity, only to turn into the shiny trophy with no autonomy when she kisses the hero like some kind of awful reverse Princess and the Frog. FURTHERMORE if you look at Katara's utlisation (or lack thereof) in The Legend of Korra, she doesn't do anything!! Of the Gaang members who are still alive, she's the only one who never gets involved in the adventures, which considering that the plot of Season 1 hinges around a water-bender specific power that she has a personal connection to (and even the in the FLASHBACKS to 40 years previously she does not appear). It's very funny to me because a lot of Kataang fans will say "oh Katara did keep working as an adult, she got bloodbending banned!!" and this is brought out as that one thing she did, yet IN A WHOLE SEASON ABOUT BLOODBENDING she does absolutely nothing besides being unable to heal Korra, so that Aang's spirit has to turn up and do it for her. Then Season 2 is about the Water Tribes and involves the hostile takeover of the city in which she lives, but apparently she's not keen on getting involved in that either!! And look, I can't PROVE that this is directly linked to the ship, but it sure looks suspicious to me when taken with previous evidence. And don't even get me started on the fans holy hell. Like, it's perfectly fine to have ships with problematic elements (don't we all) but they truly will bend over BACKWARDS to say that there's nothing wrong with the ship OR the way it went down in canon and that they're the Pure and Wholesome ship, standing in opposition to the Evil Colonizing Zutaras. Even suggesting that hey, might it have been better if they'd taken some time apart to really grow as individuals and then gotten together in their twenties---instead of at 12 and 14 without ever fixing the mother/child dynamic or talking about the time he sexually assaulted her---will be met with outright hosility by certain members of the fandom.

guys how are we feeling? in pain, devastated, or screaming crying throwing up, what's the consensus here? spoilers for ep 11 under the cut (and minor spoiler for manga)
first things first, my theory from the last week is proven wrong. still don't know what the red plants were for (safekeeping? protecting from the last run?), but nai ain't gonna exploit them to "fix" vash. instead he EXPLOITS HIM AND SUBJECTS TO MENTAL TURTURE AND WIPES HIS MEMORIES CLEAN TO ACCES A HIGHER DIMENSION and create more independent babies ig
(yep the plant mpreg moment is sure a thing... for the next week, get ready for mass abortion)
finally, a gate that's an actual GATE. I think the plants lore was pretty self explanatory, but I'm so happy we're getting it and it's much more comprehensive that the manga, even(and 98' anime basically didn't explain anything and I had to spoil myself through fandom wiki to understand who vash and knives were). like, it's changed A LOT but it's in the same lane
this knives is so capable, holy shit!! everyone was already joking that he would put kniveses of the past to shame, and it's so true... he knows what he wants and how he wants it done and when he just goes ahead and does it. what a giga chad, honestly
I'm a bit disappointed they didn't keep the manga version of knives pre-tessla (that was softer than vash and wanted humans to like him), but it's definetely better than the old anime. like, he's colder due to him being the stronger twin, but he's still playful and doesn't hate ppl. he kinda distrusts rem, but they fucked around out of curiosity rather than malice. also, and I can't be the only one who noticed, his file name said "kni"? mmm ok interesting I'll have to think about it
that probably was the sequence code knives was talking about in ep 8, he used it again for the great fall. I wonder what it said, had to be something important to rem that vash could guess. geranium? their birthday?
the tessla sequence was quite short, but DAMN. status: alive. after all they've done to her. they put her on ice in this condition so they can keep studying her later. and the twins made her come alive. I'm gonna be sick it's so much worse..... no comas or suicide attempts this time, but these kids were still traumatized as hell (vash looks worse, like he haven't slept or probably eaten in a couple of days)
it was a serious moment but when nai revealed he was reading THE BIBLE I can't ahajakahajajahah... like, NO WONDER HE STARTED A RELIGION omg... pls put that book down you've got the message wrong
and or birthday boy vash... oh babygirl I'm so sorry. when I said I wanted to see him going through this I didn't mean a literal mental torture gaslight dimension!!! like, it's SO crucial to his character to REMEMBER all the good and terrible things he went through.... to have it taken away while he can't do anything, even when he clings to the memories as hard as he can, knives still takes EVERYTHING away from him, until he's the only thing tying vash to this world.
again, any other knives could never! and even before tearing apart all those memories, he gaslights vash even further, saying that he did the fall for him (which is true) and so it's basically his fault (which is very much not true)... and this BREAKS him quite literally... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
on a brighter note, loved that goofy meryl & nico interaction, remember, when we could still laugh? now it seems like meryl is gonna manage to reach vash in his infinite soup of despair, and that breaks his gate?? I'm so thrilled for the finale it's not at all like I imagined already said this in my previous post, but the flowers are a consistent theme for stampede instead of angels and, like... it's just makes sense for a plant to be a plant, yk. also it's pretty. july is already being destroyed by the roots, I wonder if that's gonna be it or there'll be a big kaboom (in this case it would be hard for meryl to survive, but potentially vash could make a root cacoon to protect her)
also this ep gets bonus points for showing what's going on in the city with the police guys and civilians, 'cause usually stampede isn't great at background and side characters
now making theories about the (potential) second season. amnesia aspect is getting established rlly hard rn! the only question is whether vash gets to remember key moments (like rem, meryl, wolfwood) or if he only retains the vibes of "someone important who said I shoud protect ppl". because it's gonna be interesting if he forgets everyone completely and when nico and meryl (and milly, fingers crossed) eventially find him, he''s like "hi, have we met?"
oh, the POTENTIAL! I think he's gonna get his 98' characterization as super goofy, borderline annoying, because he just doesn't remember all the pain! at least, he doesn't remember the details and fills the blanks with astonishing amounts of cope. and when he's finally able to remember, oh boy, he's gonna crumble.......

rockstar!eddie headcanons
Tumblr media
pairing: rockstar!eddie munson x reader a/n: holy fuck i haven't written anything fandom related in so long?? also i've never really done headcanons before so let's see how writing in this format goes?? freak 1 was literally called freak 1 in the credits (he's the one that's like "over my dead body!" in the d&d scene and "we're an easy target" in the cafeteria scene) so i have decided his name is frankie!!! also, thank you to @matchamunson for letting me rant about this and get all my ideas out!!!! (also this will be continued lol)
listen eddie got the FUCCKKKKK outta hawkins as soon as he graduated
there was no way he could stand to stay in a town where half of the residents thought of him as a murderer (even if he'd been cleared of all charges) and the other half still thought of him as a freak
wayne understands. of course he does. his poor boy has been put through the wringer, and all he wanted was for his son* to be happy (and safe and alive)
*wayne is more of a father to him than his biological father ever was, okay?? and after he comes back from the upside down, he just straight up calls him dad.
so eddie loads up his van and starts driving around the country, picking up gigs where ever he could, auditioning as a backup guitarist for bands he didn't like and didn't feel right
it never felt as right as it did with corroded coffin.
which is why he drives back to hawkins for the first time since he'd graduated and asked his old bandmates to take a shot in the dark and try to make their band happen.
of fucking course they agree???
why wouldn't they??
(eddie doesn't even know how hard it is for people to say no to him because of his big dumb cute cow eyes)
he meets you somewhere on the road, your thumb held high in the air and a duffel bag at your feet
and wouldn't you know it, you were on the road, too*
*he hadn't unlocked your backstory yet, but fuck did he want to
the band finds out you're a writer and fuck, they need help because their lyric writing skills are not what they need to make it big
and of course it's cheaper to live with five people in a place than just four!!
so that's how you end up with four new best friends/roommates/employers (sorta)
you all find a three bedroom, two bath for a pretty good price.
the guys insist on you getting your own room, and then they'll all double up, insisting that it'll be the college dorm experience they never got!!!
there's a lot of working shitty jobs and playing gigs at different dive bars every night just to have to wake up early for their day jobs again for a while
sundays, though. sundays are the days that all of you specifically put that none of you are available because that's when 1. you all get to fucking relax and 2. when you work on writing songs all together and not separately
Sundays are Sacred
the Falling in Love Thing happens slowly
you and eddie just seemed to click in a special way when you first meet and you just get closer and closer as time goes on
until suddenly you're the only two awake in the living room at two in the morning, an empty pizza box off discarded to the side right along with his guitar and both of your song writing notebooks
you can't stop giggling, even when it turns to more serious topics
and suddenly eddie thinks "i wanna laugh with you for the rest of my life" and yeah, he knew he had a crush on you but holy shit, he's like... in love in love.
he doesn't even give himself time to overthink or get insecure before he's kissing you something fierce
hands (with the rings of course) holding your face like you're the most precious diamond on earth*
*to him you are
but then you two get so worried about making it weird with the rest of the guys and you refuse to let it ruin the band and the little family you've made for yourself, so you agree to take it slow
dates here and there, that usually happen because no one else was up for going for ice cream so late at night
but the scary part is
is that you two work????
at first you thought maybe it was just the honeymoon phase but then you two have been going on dates and kissing in secret for five months and it's??? amazing??
you're skeptical at first because Good Relationships Don't Happen to You and you're pretty sure you maxed out your chances when you got four best friends
but even then, it's not until three months later that eddie asks you to date him
"i thought we already were dating"
"i mean exclusively."
"you mean you want me to be your girlfriend?"
"yes. sure. whatever terminology it fucking is."
when you sit down the guys to tell them they're straight up like, "oh. was that supposed to be a secret?"
"you two aren't exactly subtle and eddie accidentally played footsie with jeff and not you just two nights ago?"
it's about a year after they get to the city that they land a gig playing every night for a popular bar where all the metal heads like to hang out
and it's paid!!!
eddie and the guys are so excited that they don't have to spend every fucking day selling their souls to capitalism!!
(they still have to sell their souls to capitalism for like two shifts a week because they do still have bills to pay)
(they do insist that you also cut back on your shifts and that you take a portion of the money they get to play every night because you're their Songwriter you are Part of the Band.)
and then it's six months after they started their cushy new gig that some hot shot recording producer happened to be in the crowd and fucking loved them.
it's not until after they release their first album and people are going crazy for them that they realize
holy shit
we're rockstars

Hi, it's the trash human behind devildom-piss here. I started reading through your content after you reblogged something of mine and HOLY SHIT I LOVE YOUR WORK!!! Knowing this part of the fandom is still alive and well and that other creators are in it as well is really inspiring for me! Thank you for all that you do, and once again your content is amazing! Much love!
Hi hi!
Thank you for the message and for all the works you did! ❤
I remember melting over all your Daddy!Diavolo and Daddy!Simeon headcanom, they're so good and, even if I'm more on the yandere and non-con side, I also love reading fluffy stuff. 🥰
Take your time, I'm just happy you're alright!

What reason does cross guild have to take out Blackbeard? Did I miss something?/genuine
Holy shit I have never gotten an anonymous ask before! I am honoured! Thank you 🥹
No you haven’t missed anything. Not really!
The Strawhats and Luffy especially have reason because Blackbeard orchestrated Marineford to get an all star evil crew from Impel Down and Whitebeard’s DF. Therefore Blackbeard is basically responsible for Ace’s death. We know Blackbeard gave Shanks his facial scar, so I assume there is bad blood there, although the story hasn’t been revealed.
My reasons for the cross guild joining… under the cut. (Spoilers for Egghead arc past the anime, safe to read for manga readers)
My first (weaker) reason:
Perona goes in search of Moria, who is last seen on Blackbeard’s island while he is away. We are lead to assume Moria is killed by Shiryu and Catarina Devon. In the fandom, most people consider Perona to be Mihawk’s adopted daughter. In cannon, I’m not sure if Mihawk would go rescue her, but if he did he would probably go by himself…
But I think it is so funny to imagine Mihawk pulling up to the Sunny and being like: “Zoro! We gotta go rescue your sister”
My second (stronger) reason:
Currently all the 4 emperors are going after the One Piece and while Luffy has Robin to read the poneglyphs and went to each one of the Road Poneglyph and then collected them honestly. Luffy and Law gave Kidd copies of the Road Poneglyphs they got during their alliance because of his help with the battle on Onigashima. I’m not sure if he even knew about the road poneglyphs being necessary to find the One Piece before they give the copies to him. Anyway…
Shanks takes Kidd’s poneglyphs before he distroyed him (although I’m sure Kidd is still alive somehow), and Blackbeard took Law’s when he beat the Heart Pirates. So if we look at the race for the One Piece as consisting of having the info (poneglyphs) and having the means to translate them.
1st place- Luffy with 3 poneglyphs and Robin
2nd place- Blackbeard with 3 poneglyphs and Pudding. As it is implied in WCI that Big Mom wanted a kid with a 3rd eye because she thought they could read the poneglyphs.
Also in 2nd place- Shanks, because even though we don’t know how he intends to read them, Shanks has 3 poneglyphs and probably knows where the 4th one is.
Last place- goes to Buggy and the Cross Guild, with no poneglyphs and no means for translation. However Buggy has strong armed Crocodile and Mihawk into going for the One Piece by telling their entire organization that they will. If they go against him the organization will crumble because all of Buggy’s followers think that he is awesome, and they will look ridiculous if it comes to light that he got the better of them in the first place.
But I bet that it will only take Crocodile realizing that the race for the One Piece would help him get his hands on one of the ancient weapons and he would get on board. After that getting their hands on the road poneglyphs would be fairly easy. As a former Roger Pirate, Buggy can walk into Wano and ask to see their poneglyph, and unless he can read the poneglyph, or is given the explanation by Oden’s dad, he or Crocodile wouldn’t know about Pluton being hid under the poneglyph. If Crocodile did know about Pluton being under there then he would probably want to stop the whole thing there to bring down Wano’s borders and get it.
So after Buggy goes to Wano, Inurashi and Nekomamushi would give him a note or something to have permission to look at the one on Zou. A quick call to King Neptune or a little research and he would find out that the road poneglyph from the Ryugu Kingdom went to Big Mom.
With Big Mom out of the picture the Cross Guild could honestly trade or buy access to the one on Whole Cake Island.
Then the Cross Guild would have everything Shanks has since Buggy would also probably know how to find the 4th one.
My third reason:
Blackbeard is growing stronger by the day, and in addition to looking for the One Piece it is going to become obvious to everyone that he is going to try to crush the other Emperors eventually. His crew is in direct competition with the Cross Guild in terms of power. If they want to survive, teaming up with Shanks and or Luffy would be their best bet.
I also think story wise it would be one of the best ways for a Shanks and Buggy reconciliation, and to allow the Akagami Pirates to interact with the rest of the one piece world.
Because if that theory goes around that Shanks will die before Luffy gets to reconnect with him ends up being true. I will be very upset 😠
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

How about 1, 15, 23 for the air your grievances ask game?
Hi! :-)
What's your biggest __[insert fandom]__ pet peeve(s)?
Oof, okay... I think my biggest pet peeve with the M/C/U fandom is how greedy certain pockets of it can be. When 80-95% of either the canon or fandom is catered to you, I don't get complaining so hard about the slim percentage that doesn't. It's infuriating. But I've talked about that a bunch in the past.
Something I don't think ever talked about is how this fandom drives me up the damn wall as a music nerd. The biggest example is folks describing the Guardians soundtracks/"Qu*ll's taste in music" as "80s music." No. No, they're not. They're mainly the 70s. I know, I counted, after the fandom nearly gaslit me into doubting my own knowledge. In fact, out of the trilogy, IW, the Gro/ot shorts, and the Holiday special, only Vol 3 and the Holiday special contain any 80s songs. (And for record, this isn't me shitting on the 80s or anything. I'm an 80s baby and love tons of music from that era. This is just me being an insufferable know-it-all, lol.)
Another one is constantly framing Sam's recommendation of Tro/uble Man as some kind of come on. Like, first of all, that album is mainly a score and the few lyrics that do exist on it are not sexy. Second of all, oh my God, there's more to Marvin than just sex jams, holy shit. It's very obvious that some are only familiar with stuff like "Let's get it on" and "Sexual Healing" and that's it and... I can't help it, that makes me so sad.
youtube
15. Name an aspect of __[insert character]__ that you think gets frequently overlooked in fanfiction characterizations/deserves more attention/exploration
I think fandom's really dropped the ball with post-EG Steve. We could've had sprawling epics with Steve creating timeline after timeline where he had full lives with every Av*nger and Guardian and whoever else and having D*ctor Who style adventures across space and time. But, noooope. Nada.
I'll also never understand how I've only ever seen one fic where Professor H*lk and Steve raise Baby!Scott. That's comedy gold, right there. And how the hell did Sh*-H*lk not spawn a ton of St*ve/Jen? Not to mention all the cool concepts WI? has given the fandom on a silver platter only for them to be completely ignored.
23. Share an unpopular opinion you have RE: __[insert fandom]__
At the risk of being skinned alive, I know that even people who don't ship St*cky romantically will say that they still love them as friends instead. And I... don't. I can't get into that dynamic, even platonically. Most of their relationship is told rather than shown and what little we are shown doesn't endear it to me at all. Fandom can scream "till the end of the line" until it's blue in the face, but that doesn't make up for its problems in the slightest. (And frankly, I think that was the main purpose of the line to begin with, but that's a whole other rant.) I mean, B*cky spends most of T/F/A coming off (to me) like a condescending prick towards Steve and then spends the rest of Steve's time in the films deliberately staying as far away as humanly possible. It feels very one-sided to me, overall. And why should I revere that period, but especially so when dynamics like the ones Steve has with S*m, N*t, and P*ggy exist? Dynamics where the love and respect is quite clearly mutual and they actively want to be in his life? There's just no contest as far as I'm concerned.
Now, in fairness, theirs isn't the only dynamic in the films that's way more tell than show nor is it the worst offender in terms of the discrepancy between what's told and what's shown, but again, those are other rants.
Sorry about this getting kinda long. I'd been holding that first rant in for a loooong time, lol, so thank you for sending this in and giving me the chance to finally get that off my chest. XD

10 YEARS!!!
Holy shit. I’ve been here too long.
To quote myself:
“I gotta say it, but I love this fandom so fucking much. I can’t even put it into words. Like this fandom along with CFs music kept me alive, and at points was the only source of happiness I had. I’ve always wanted to post a bunch of memes and drawings I made but i’m too scared. I don’t know why. The fandoms so damn nice and too pure for this world.”
IM STILL SO IN LOVE WITH THIS BAND AFTER A WHOLE DECADE SEND HELP PLEASE
I was gonna write a whole thing but I have 5 minutes left of today..
This band has changed me forever, it’s made me who I am today and I’m so thankful for it. It’s fully influenced almost everything in my life, I love them so much.
Have some art :3 I wanted to draw them both, but ran out of time to draw Erik (my fault for starting with only 30 minutes left..) So have a very quick Curtis sketch and a couple ooold drawings of Erik since I didn’t get to make a new one :(

Another weekend means more xenoblade for me and my roommate! I've been telling her this for like 2 weeks but we are definitely actually for real getting to Prison Island tomorrow, so I'll be recording her reaction because she asked me to catch the big reaction moments (and yes I will also be doing Mechonis Core, of course.)
Oh man she is ragging on the High Entia a lot for isolating in Alcamoth and not doing anything about the Mechon which I can't really fault her for, but honestly I'm too happy to see Alcamoth and all its people alive and well to be mad about the isolationism
Ok I have an official statement from the roommate: Vidian is the best NPC in Alcamoth for gossiping about her guy friend leading on two of their mutual girl friends
lmao she's talking to Scarlen and he's freaking out about falling in love with two people at once, so I on the couch go "oh man....I'm sure no one else in this series ever...falls in love with two people at once...." thinking of The Picture, and she just looks at me like "??????"
Oh interesting, Arielle says that most High Entia aren't particularly prejudiced against half-Homs and it's an outdated notion that pure-blooded High Entia are superior. It's been a while since I've engaged with the xenoblade fandom, but I feel like that's something that fanon has magnified out of proportion with canon
Edit: ok eagle from the future here to say disregard this one. the high entia prejudice is Real and honestly if anything it might be worse than I remembered. You'll find me desperately trying to figure out how the second consort tradition persisted and how any progress towards more Homs blood in the imperial line was made
adjfhgdks we're out in eryth sea doing sidequests and out of nowhere she just says "why do I feel like Alcamoth is going to be destroyed at some point?" I heroically kept face and pointed out that the Mechon will probably attack Alcamoth at some point soon, which isn't even wrong! It just isn't the whole truth :)
*talking about Sharla and her utility in battle* Me: "Yeah, her usefulness does kind of drop off in regular fights, but she's still good in boss battles. And she's the only party member who can inflict instant death, so that's pretty cool." Roommate: "She can inflict instant death??? That's so hot"
holy shit there is a lot in the cutscene with Alvis when you reach the Tomb. My roommate is pausing to break it down and I'm probably going to rewatch it later again to absorb it better
OOF she saw the telethia in the tomb and chose Shulk for the party even though Tyrea is there...rough battle ahead

Fic Tag Game
Thanks for the tag @dark--whisperings!
How many works do you have on ao3?
fifteen
2. What's your Ao3 word count?
400,883 (holy shit)
3. What fandoms do you write for?
right now switching between Star Wars and Good Omens
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
Maybe Someday - 841 kudos, most of them thanks to @plumbum-art's wonderful comic Date Night, which "resurrected" this little fic of mine.
and then my four MCU (sambucky) fics:
Trouble Man - 841 kudos, too!
Pet Psychopath - 712 kudos
Partners, Accidentally - 561 kudos
Co-Workers with Benefits - 509 kudos
5. Do you respond to comments?
Yes. Because if I write a comment, I like to hear from the author. It doesn't have to be much but it just makes me happy to hear that my comment made the author happy. And I think interaction is important to keep a fandom "alive" (even if often I don't know what to say but I try).
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I don't write angsty endings. But I'm a little worried that people won't agree with me that Match Made on Earth has a happy ending.
7. What's the fic your write with the happiest ending?
As I said, they all have happy endings, but the ending of Four Chord Songs and Sentimental Lyrics is particularly sappy. I was wondering if that love song in the last chapter was *too much*, but then I thought: nope, it's Anakin, *too much* is his personality trait.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
This year I got two very rude anon comments on one of my Obikin fics accusing me of horrible things. The accusations felt pretty generic and did not fit to that particular story at all, but they still left me a little shaken. Fortunately, the people in the Obikin discord were really kind about it and helped to cheer me up.
Back on FFNET I received the occasional "ew, they're not gay, why would you write that?" Also there were some people who were angry at the way I wrote Obi-Wan, saying things like "how can you say he's your favourite character and then characterise him as weak/flawed/incompetent... and make so many bad things happen to him?"
BUT, all in all, fandom has been a positive experience and the many good interactions far outweigh the odd rude comment.
9. Do you write smut? What kind?
Does one awkward sex scene per multi chapter fic count? (No.)
10. Do you write cross-overs?
No.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
I don't think so, not that I know of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes, a long time ago on FFNET when I still wrote Harry Potter fic.
13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?
Yes.
14. What's your all time favourite ship?
I feel like Obikin is the "correct" answer because I always come back to them.
15. What's your WIP you like to finish, but doubt you ever will?
Step into Christmas with me. So far, I've managed to add two chapters every season. If I continue at that pace, I might finish it in two more years...
16. What are your writing strength?
Beginnings and endings.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
The long middle parts that always become too long and repetitive.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
Okay, I have Opinions on this!
I don't like it and don't see the merits of it. It often just feels like the author wants to show off their language skills. But as a reader it takes me out of a story. I don't want to check footnotes or use google translate in the middle of reading.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Just for myself: Harry Potter. Posting online: Star Wars.
20. Favourite fic you've ever written?
Servants of the Force is definitely not my best writing but it's still my favourite fic anyway because I've never put so much effort into a fic before and I'm proud that I finished it.
---
I'm not sure who has already done it. tagging (no pressure!): @underacalicosky, @demonghost, @somethingsteff, @ineffableobikin, @fulcrum843, @howlbrooklyn, @kingdomvel

Salty Ask!! :D 2 (DN), 5 (any fandom), & 13 (L! I'm curious if you have any)
*backflips* Hello hello hello! :D
2. Are there any popular fandom OTPs you only BroTP?
No, actually! It's been quite the opposite for the DN fandom; I see lots of BroTPs that I turn into full ships. Terraito being first and foremost 🙏
5. Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?
OH yeah, absolutely. Mostly because of asshole antis always touting their "superior" holy ship against our barbaric "inferior" ship lmao like after a while the whole thing just gets tainted with drama. I can't see a kiribaku post without rolling my eyes, aND I THOUGHT THEY WERE CUTE AT FIRST. I was getting the same way with bakudeku too because of how shitty the shippers started being to other shippers, namely my fellow shigadekus, and bakudeku was my first OTP in that fandom!! They got REAL uppity and it drives me insane because they now do the same shit to other people that antis used to do to us. They get just as bad as the kiribaku nuts now istg. I faded out of the bigger part of the fandom before it got to the point of total abandonment though lol.
...Damn I guess I needed to rant about that >^> But yes! Yes it has! :D
13. Unpopular opinion about XXX character (L)?
I have several of them about L! The main thing of which would be that that man is the most whorish virgin alive. He has absolutely NO rizz and his version of flirting is intricate infuriating mind games—a foolish misstep from his supposed beau might very well be cause for him to grow instantly bored of them. He thinks people are gross and too emotional he has NEVER touched another human being's genitals except for his own, and he doesn't even like doing that. Even when he IS interested enough to put in the effort, the effort is fumbling. NO idea what he's doing. But he's very eager to learn, and quickly at that ;3 He makes up for his lack of experience by being utterly shameless, laying himself out on tables naked and covered in whip cream, saying the most off the wall horny shit you've ever heard that would makes pornstars blush in horror, chasing after what he wants like a dog and not letting up until he gets that pretty pillow to hump. Learning on the go is very useful for when you finally catch your prey in an inconvenient place 🙏
The second biggest one is a two-parter ✌️ The first part being that I don't think he gives a shit about the Wammy Kids. No familial or even fond feelings for those brats whatsoever, maybe a sense of irritation if anything. Tiny pawns in the wings if he ever needs them. The second part being that if he did give a shit about any of them it would be Mello, and still not,,,in a fond or familial way. More of a 'better keep an eye on that one because he's leaning a lot towards the grayer side of the morality scale which is a lot like me but also a lot like someone whose name starts with B and ends with eyondbirthday so lets not do that again mkay thanks' way ✨
I also think that he'd be more fun if he was completely evil but that's just me 💅
