#Here Comes Penny

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

putting my prediction on record now that the coming decade is going to see the rise of viral-marketed fancy at-home water filtration systems, driving and driven by a drastic reduction in the quality of U.S. tap water (given that we are in a 'replacement era' where our current infrastructure is reaching the end of its lifespan--but isn't being replaced). also guessing that by the 2030s access to drinkable tap water will be a mainstream class issue, with low-income & unstably housed people increasingly forced to rely on expensive bottled water when they can't afford the up-front cost of at-home filtration--and with this being portrayed in media as a "moral failing" and short-sighted "choice," rather than a basic failure of our political & economic systems. really hope i'm just being alarmist, but plenty of this already happens in other countries, and the U.S. is in a state of decline, so. here's praying this post ages into irrelevance. timestamped April 2023

#apollo don't fucking touch this one #serious post #not a shitpost #hope i forget about this post and have no reason to ever look back on it one day #fyi i'm aware that access to potable water is already a major issue in parts of the U.S. yes i know flint michigan exists #i'm saying that this issue is going to GROW unless local & federal governments work together to fix it. #so it's a matter of if we trust them to fix it. And well--do you? #what are the chances the government just denies there's a problem until the water actually turns brown #at which point it's already been common knowledge for years and people have just become resigned and that's our new normal #i'm mean come on. how many of us already believe that we're being exposed to dangerous pollutants we don't know about and can't avoid #like that's pretty much just part of being a modern consumer. accepting that companies will happily endanger your life for a few pennies #and the most you'll get is like a $50 gift card as part of a class action rebate 20 years down the line #probably the history books will look back on Flint as a warning and a harbinger that went ignored #luxury condos will advertise their built-in top-of-the-line filtration systems--live here and you can drink water straight from your tap! #watch the elite professional class putting $700 dyson water filtration systems on their wedding registry #while the rest of us figure out how to fit water delivery into our grocery budget while putting 90% of our paycheck towards rent #also eggs are $15

The whole Scarlet/Violet DLC epilogue rules, but one of my favorite bits of characterization is Penny puffing out her chest and pretending to be above all those horror movies she definitely hasn’t watched, only to immediately start freaking out when things get spooky.

Look at how offended she is at Arven outing her.

#Poor Arven #Love Penny tho #And Arven too #The whole crew in this game rules #I know the actual game is a technical mess but goddamn if they didn’t get the writing right here #Carrying a story along three releases actually gives you time to develop fun characters #Who would’ve guessed? #Pokemon #pokemon scarlet and violet #pokemon dlc #Arven #Nemona #Nintendo #Switch #Will this recapture the magic of Kieran post? #Probably not #But a man can dream #Anyway fanfictions coming soon #pokemon scarvi

Possible nicknames Lenore called Annabel in life go:

"Anniebell": Sometimes the smallest changes are the cutest, okay? Anniebell Lee sounds adorable as hell and I'll stick by it. Imagine Annabel trying to admonish Lenore for saying some wild shit at a Rich Persons Gala™️ or smth but she keeps breaking out into giggles like, "You- you can't just say that pet!" and Lenore playfully replying, "Oh whatever do you mean, Anniebell Lee?" like UGH I hate them somebody throw hammers at em already 💥💥🔨🔨🔨

“My moon”: in relation to the Annabel Lee poem (‘for the moon never beams/Without bringing me dreams/Of the wonderful Annabel Lee’) and also there’s smth so flavorful of the character with a color palette more akin to the Sun (long shiny blonde hair, warm colored eyes, seemingly more outwardly personality, etc) being called the moon like I loveee contrasting design choices‼️‼️

“Angel”: Also a reference to the poem (but like, worse because it was the angels that separated em) and can be easily pulled from Annabel’s name

“Petal”: Or some other variation of a flower based nickname because imma sad, sad bisexual who loves ✨flower motifs✨ just a bit too much

Anything in Dutch: This can be like common ones like “liefje” (darling) or the previous entries but in Dutch idk go crazy go stupid

“Locket”: An unconventional pick pulled from Annabel’s last name Whitlock + lockets containing pieces of hair from your other half being T H E romantic gesture of the century back then, so, like. Idk. Hear me out like okay I think Lenore could be the unconventional route (I mean girly already faked her death via arson and pulled a Mulan to get the girl soooo you see what I’m putting down?) and like like LIKKEEE⁉️⁉️⁉️ Imagine with me Lenore telling her girl, “You’re the locket I keep nearest to my heart” (many necklaces back then had a chain just long enough for the locket to rest above the wearer’s heart) and it evolves to Lenore calling Annabel smth like “my dearest, my locket” LIKE YOU HAVE TO IMAGINE WITH ME!!! GUYS MY VISION IS VISIONING!!! 🦅🗣️🌈🗣️🗣️🦅🦅🌈🗣️🦅🦅

@incorrect-nevermore cmere and witness my madness

#some of the emojis only show up in mobile format sigh this is my cross to bear #yes its a running joke of mine to measure things on a scale of 'in relation to how much so and so suffered compared to jesus h christ-' #for example penny poldenina died painfully TWICE like girly defo suffered more than mister holy spirit but thats neither here nor there #jesus still suffered more than me but like. damn bro. my aesthetic #my old wenclair followers if ur still around do NOT come fer me and the 'my moon' suggestion okay I knowwww #i remember my oldass yet decently popular 'my moon' wenclair posts from last year do not recite the ancient magic to me #anything in dutch one tho like cmon Lenore woulldd she would call her sweetie anniebell shit like 'my heart' and shit in Dutch ugh dorknore #tho obviously the locket one is my fave like u have to rlly and truly ENVISION THE VIBES u know? #unconventional pet names fer unconventional couples guys cmon hear me outttt #ugh man these two gayasses are so awful i hope they DOUBLE PERISH bc yeah they already died once whoooppssiesss #nevermore webtoon #white raven #lenore nevermore #lenore vandernacht #annabel lee nevermore #annabel lee whitlock

losing it over the fact that fitz's room was originally gonna have a small shrine dedicated to penny in it, he was so freaking head over heels in love with her oh my god???? 😭😭😭

#i do think cutting it was a good decision bc questioning what fitz's feelings towards penny truly were >>> #and not initially knowing which p.p. the trowel and card were referencing adds to the interpersonal drama going on in the story #but damn he just.... really loved her a lot huh.... #personally i do think penny also had some feelings for fitz but they definitely weren't as deep as his feelings for her #i think some resentment towards him refusing to untether himself from tangle tower had grown in her and her feelings faded bc of that #i also think some of her anger towards poppy is genuine but it moreso comes from yet another thing being stolen from her >>> #rather than WHAT is being stolen ya know what i mean? #i was just looking at the location concept art to get more ideas for vic's room #i did not expect to get smacked with this info and go on another thought tangent but here we are #detective grimoire #tangle tower #fitz fellow #penny pointer #mj.txt #tangle tower spoilers

i think the thing that put me off with some ‘penny lives’ fics is how her being jane is seen as a . Bad thing . i can’t deny the circumstances and i understand why people would make that choice … but you can’t tell me that penny wouldn’t get excited at the aspect of talking to her alternate self and identify with jane’s problem of feeling alone and unloved

#not an art post #though it’s probably because i’m applying legoland penny here ; other ppl have their own interpretations of penny #it bums me out either way cause jane is clearly disoriented from coming into existence knowing she’s Alone #let the girl do some self love she Will look at jane and go “me too” and give her a hug

OK wait hold on, I'm making another post as a followup to my last one because I had further thoughts that I couldn't work out how to fit into the last one.

A Red Kingdom, trying to get rid of/move on from any trace of Green

Sitting under a constant, bright green sky reminding it that it will never truly be able to leave green behind

But also, with a small bit of green lodged within its very heart, trying to push its way back up to the surface

#I don't know if what I'm trying to say here is coming though at all but oh well #Penny Polendina #RWBY #Ruby Rose #desi talks about volume 9 #rwby spoilers #rwby9 spoilers #rwby volume 9 spoilers

AU I made when I was REALLY fixated on Pokemon Violet where I just put everyone in the fucking academy as transfer or exchange students. Originally it was just the SuMo squad and I had some comics (unfinished) about it, interactions between everyone, ect! Then I got distracted and months later I pick up White 2 and well. Back on my bullshit LMFAOOO 🫡

Unfortunately Lillie and Gladion look much better in person, did not show up on camera well 🥲

All of this is just proof of concept anyway!! Espppp trying to get a feel for color palettes and having fun pushing the uniform rules to their limits LMFAO, and also wanting to show how a character wears a uniform can also be a reflection of themselves!

#pokemon #ALSO MADE THIS AU BEFORE I KNEW ABOUT THE DLC AND HOW WE'RE GONNA BE EXCHANGE STUDENTS (EXCITING) #video games appeal to sick male fantasy such as. *squints at notes* having friends and a good time in school #i need ALLL OF THEM to be friends SO FUCKING BAAAD #like beyond the obvious arven/lillie/gladion friendship/solidarity/processing trauma ect (which i do have concepts for btw) #i NEED arven and hau to be best friends actually. like fucking yesterday. #AND nemona/gladion and now hugh as endless pursuit of strength buddies. nemona is SO EXCITED ABOUT IT #nemona is ALSO VERY enthusiastic about helping lillie gain confidence as a trainer as well!!! much like how she was w protag #also gladion/penny wolf t-shirt kid solidarity. walked the mile. are you listening to me. #and obviously for years now i've been wanting a hugh/gladion friendship like come on!!!!!!! #roz/rosa can fit in anywhere tbh i just want them here. also moon is canon in the au but idk what they're up to. somewhere abroad. #rival hugh #trainer rosa #pokemon lillie #gladion #hau #arven #nemona #trainer penny #my art

Sometimes I just sit at work, do my thing, and my Spotify account decides to randomly throw me into my ichiruki or destiel slow & sad music, and I often don't register until it's too late and I catch feelings. And I'm just. My bro. I'm at work, what am I supposed to do with all those feelings now.

#i think better with music #but then comes heavy destiel shit like The Night We Met #or ichiruki like She is the Sunlight #like I'm literally in the middle of the narcotics case lmao #destiel #ichiruki #penny for my thoughts #fuck why they can't just be together like this literally fucks with my work #and i sit here frustrated now coz Rukia should be with Ichigo #and why the gay angel didn't kiss his cowboy #being a fan as it's finest i guess

Buck how do you feel about being a tumblr sexyman, ya fuckin texyman

In all honesty? After doin' some diggin'- ah don't understand whats wit ya varmints n' this whole... "tumblr sexyman" thing. And frankly, ah'm a little insulted that yer puttin' me in t' same category as a buncha glorified broomsticks and seemingly any kinda man or woman or banana y'all can get yer hands on. Y'all parading 'round t' streets wit this- yer nuisances at best.

Y' see? Y'all can fight t' yer hearts content, if ya really want to- but ah ain't gonna be y'alls prized hog. Ah ain't easy pickin's- and I'd rather focus on... other things. Now, if you'll ex-

Tibs- Tiberius, eh? Well... Even if we ain't at t' same rankin'... or department... ah greatly admire t' work he does. Most suits- especially those city-folk suits- hardly have t' the kinda dedication n' skills that he's got- let alone respect those traits. But Tibs- anyone wit a good head on their shoulders aughta take note n' admire t' work he does. He's a damn good detective too- never thought ah'd meet one in real life- but by cog, if y' could see 'im in action... it's somethin' else, ah'll say that. Chances are, fer th' pests readin' this, y'all wouldn't even 'ppricate it. T' fact that he's takin' care o' Redd n Andrew too- fatherhood ain't easy, yet he just- grabbed t' bull by the horns n took the reins, just like that-! Not t' mention he's got quite t' nice set o' claw-

We know what you are, Buck.

... Then say it t' my face.

No.

[OOC: @ask-tiberius-cadell for those who don't know of Tiberius]
