#I'm gonna fuck that old man up

[kakusu-shipping]

Hi hi! For the ask game how about 🔪 + Pokémon, who you fighting to protect your sweetie? 😊 bonus![optional!] DO you fist fight this enemy or do you have an amazing team of pokemon who wipe their team out? 👀

I love this ask love it because at the bottom of my F/O list is a link to my Fictional Foe List, which while not as long as my F/O list is still a very important part of my self shipping.

Send me 🔪 and a fandom and I’ll tell you about my f/e (fictional enemy; character I would fight with my self-insert)

My Pokemon Black/White S/I does in fact throw hands more often than he Pokemon battles. That's probably not true actually but he does throw a lot of hands. Particularly at Ghetsis and Ghetsis' Hydreigon.

Ghetsis' Hydreigon is more for self defense, after cornering Team Plasma in Castelia for taking Bianca's Munna I'm not exactly ready to let the leader walk out without a fight. This is a mistake as Ghetsis decides to make an example out of us and sends out his Hydreigon, which doesn't just attack Pokemon, he lashes out at anything in sight. We all end up in the hospital, luckily with mostly minor fractures, though I ended up with a big gash in my shoulder from where he bit me. It wasn't a great time.

End game, final confrontation though, that's where we fight for the F/O. We beat N in the dragon fight, Ghetsis throws him down, calls him a freak without a human heart, raises a hand to strike him, and I do not hesitate to grab that old fool's arm and pull him down. I would have beat the shit out of him for it too, if not again for his Hydreigon.

Luckily my Pokemon Master's S/I does get to beat the actual shit out of Ghetsis, along side Guzma, with our fists because FUCK that old man Fuck Father or Foe there is no hesitation once Ghetsis shows his hand I am on top of him beating his face in!

There's other Pokemon character I'd like to throw hands with, Swordward and Shieldbert being first and formost, but Ghetsis is the only one I want to throw hands with to protect an F/O, particularly N who doesn't deserve such a crappy father.

I'll fist fight your shitty dad no questions asked.

#Thankyou for asking #fictional foe #aaaaa I always feel weird being negative about a guy but I've always wanted to throw hands with Ghetsis #Anti Ghetsis #That's... probably good enough?? #I hope that's a good tag lemme know if I need to add anything else #My Master's S/I being the one to actually beat the shit out of Ghetsis is very funny to me because he barely knows N #My BW S/I is more focused on poor Hydreigon's recovery in the moment but at least he stopped Ghetsis from hitting N #That scene means a lot to me I imagine it a lot different from canon much more violent #I haven't played Ultra Sun/Moon yet but I know Ghetsis straight up threatens to Kill Lillie #And I know my SuMo S/I would also beat the living snot out of Ghetsis if given the chance #Thankyou very much again for asking I do love a fictional foe I think it's funny #every character is someone's favorite character so I apologize if Ghetsis is yours anyone reading this #I'm gonna fuck that old man up

Hello!

It just came to me that Reader is in Hell, the same place a very unhappy (and probably jealous) Valentino is...

I am afraid of what that bald moth is capable of doing against Reader just because of Vox's attachment to them. I'm sure Valentino won't hold back to dispose of the thing that is getting in his way with Vox.

I wonder if there will be any fight scene between Vox and Valentino over Reader. Or maybe Reader versus Valentino?

Either way, things are bound to get not so pretty...

And I wonder how Reader's relationship with Velvet will go. I mean, I don't think she has anything against Reader? It's probably even better since now she has someone she can use to tame the TV stick man and his many moods.

I imagine Velvet will be a bit wary of Reader at first, but get along quite well after a while. Maybe even share fashion opinions as Velvet and Reader discuss the new trends that are going on with the living.

I guess the only one inside the Vees Reader won't get along with no matter what is Valentino.

Do you have any plans of going further inside Reader's relationship with the other two? I mean, you probably already made plans with Valentino, but what about Velvet?

Thank you for your attention, I wish you a good day/night! ☺️

Hahaha thanks for bringing this up anon! I was wondering when someone was gonna notice that Reader was a little blind to the caveat of being in hell which was Valentino. It's kind of the reason why I keep mentioning that Reader's gonna stay at the hotel(despite Vox being pissy about it because Alastor) is because the TV man figures placing Reader literally anywhere Valentino isn't would be much safer for them. After all, they're just a new sinner so their powers haven't manifested yet(and I'm not actually sure what powers to give them- someone please bomb me with ideas thank youuuu) and Vox just won't risk the moth trying to recruit dear Reader. Bonus being the fact Angel stays at the hotel and he can keep tabs on Reader since there isn't much tech there that Vox can use to check himself. It just adds another reason to why he friggin hates Alastor lmao

Velvette on the other hand would probably get along with (Y/N) similarly to how Alastor and Rosie do. Literally gossip girls who look and laugh at the latest trends or get together for brunch to spill the tea about the latest happenings in hell. I'd also think that she would use Reader as a model sometimes just to fuck with Vox because let's face it- him crashing or bluescreening is kind of hilarious- and Reader just likes messing with Vox inherently so they let Velvette doll her up if it means getting a reaction out of him.

Velvette doesn't really have anything against Reader, she was just mad in one interlude that Vox hid the fact that he could communicate with the living(which is a HUGE thing) she could care less if the old Samsung TV went and found himself a new toy/fling. So while she would be a bit wary of Reader in the sense of: "Are they after our power? Do they have an ulterior motive?" Once they show that there actually isn't anything and Vox and Reader are just good friends(Velvette wouldn't actually believe that even if it came straight from the horse's mouth) she would eventually get along with them as well.

#vox x reader #hazbin hotel #vox #get off my screen series #hazbin hotel vox #vox x you #Velvette's actually gonna be featured in one of the interludes lol #Mostly because Vox's sense of fashion is atrocious #Literally just: Woah woah wtf are you wearing #You ain't going on a date looking like that wtf old man #Yes she would take every opportunity to make you and Vox matching outfits #it's corny and cheesy but the netizens of hell eat it up so she rolls with it #she starts the shipping thing online #like angel she probably also starts getting annoyed that Vox is so fucking slow #bro doesn't know how to properly emotion #and she's like: Vox istg if you don't say anything I'm doing it myself

imagine not being in constant fucking physical chronic pain every single moment of every single fucking day could not be me

#in other news i am in a horrific flareup and i'm straight up gonna lose it #being in this much pain every single moment of my existence is getting real fucking old man #i am really grateful that one of my closest friends out here gave me a gift card to get a massage as a holiday gift because it'll at least #give me a modicum of relief (since stretching is not really something i'm supposed to do since being slightly hypermobile it means i could #injure myself ANYWAYS i hate it here) so hope that'll help on tuesday

Still so sad that Merle Highchurch's canonically nonbinary plant-person partner who can't fucking stand him but is still infatuated with him and also they share a psychic unbreakable bond tying them together- as far as we know forever- all because the two's bosses thought it'd be funny to set them up together isn't like. A well known thing in the fandom </3 they're so funny </3 my psionic warriors think about Kuo Adventurezone for me please and thank you

#I LOVE YOU KUO ADVENTUREZONE YOU'RE SO SILLY I WISH MORE PEOPLE KNEW YOU <3 YOU GO THROUGH SO MUCH BULLSHIT FOR NO REASON <3 #truly the 'i can't believe i have to fuck that old man' 'you don't have to' 'no I'm gonna' character of all time <3 #I'm gonna be completely honest half the time i make these posts I'm paranoid i made up an imaginary sequel in my head and none of it's real #but that's my paranoia issues speaking!! luckily i can go back and listen to The Zone of Adventure: Imbalance and remind myself it's real #merle highchurch #merle hightower highchurch #merle taz #taz merle #merle x kuo #kuo x merle #taz kuo #kuo taz #kuo adventurezone #kuo highchurch #<- maybe? not canon (yet) but it would be funny so I'm keeping it #oh also very much a silly and very simplified way of describing their dynamic for humor's sake i hope that's clear lol

Takaaki is way too skinny in canon to be alive. What the fuck 😨

His beta design has more meat on his bones than his final design. HOW????

I'M WORRIED????? HE'S SO SKINNY, THERE IS NO MEAT, JUST BONE...

He's still a smash

#sam's talky talks #Aki...Honey. I'm terrified for your health... #They fr wanted the “Hanging on by a thread” sorta look for him #They fucked him up in canon I'm worried #I'd still fuck him but I swear he's gonna fall apart by the first round #Taka. I think your dad needs to go see a doctor #How is this man still alive? 😭 #Kudos to this old man who's probably stubborn as fuck to live even though the only things he's living off of is probably cigs and coffee #danganronpa #danganronpa ultra despair girls #takaaki ishimaru #ishimaru takaaki

(i haven't read Whole Cake in a while, and i never really watched it, so bear with me)

I'd love to write a fic with Usopp on Whole Cake. it'd be sooo fucking long and i'd need to refresh myself on the entire arc, but god i'd probably be so satisfied when it's done. specifically for having brought a single moment in my head to life, but we'll get to that.

On Zou, he insists to be taken along on the Sanji rescue team and has worked himself up with a whole bunch of very good reasons as to why he should go there instead of helping in Wano, but of course Luffy just immediately accepts with a "yeah sure"

With Whole Cake, I think he'd be flipping between having fun as part of the idiot trio/quartet (Luffy, Chopper, Carrot), and being terrified with Nami. There wouldn't be that many differences in the arc as a whole, though; some things would be easier/better and some things would be worse- I don't necessarily think Usopp's presence would be overall an advantage or disadvantage, just different. Like, major events would stay mostly the same, but little details would change and maybe those little details would build to a far more drastic change-

for example, maybe one of Big Mom's kids considers themself a great sniper and wants a match with Usopp, or is motivated to work harder because Usopp is around and they want to take him out and boast about it. Maybe it means Sunny takes more damage than canon, or maybe Usopp's help means less damage to Sunny. (idk if i'd really do smth like this, but it's just an example)

skjdhf fuck i'm really not equipped to try and figure this out when i don't remember shit from Whole Cake aaaa

I do know that, despite his penchant for talking and rambling, I'd probably have Usopp be dead silent after his initial shock when Sanji fights Luffy. Everything about that is the same, except Usopp is just watching Sanji the whole time- not panicking, not moving, and not speaking. He doesn't say a word the entire time, doesn't even make a sound, and that, along with Luffy's words and Nami's begging, stick with Sanji.

(Usopp is thinking of his own fight with Luffy in Water 7, he's partially wondering if this was what it was like- if it was this painful to watch from the sidelines- and partially knowing he doesn't have to say a word, because he knew, like he knew back then, that it didn't matter what was said. It wasn't quite the same, but he could tell in the way Sanji moved, in the way he spoke and held himself, that he was putting on a front, trying to be brave in all the wrong ways. Usopp didn't say a word to Sanji because there was nothing he could say that Sanji himself didn't already know. Should've known. And his quiet, direct stare, was more than enough.)

the singular moment i really wanna write, is a scene where Sanji is apologizing for dragging them into his mess- either during the big meeting in Bege's castle or some other time- and Usopp's like "I'll do what you can't, you do what I can't, right?" and Sanji pauses, a little confused, until he remembers Enies Lobby and a stupid mask and cape and-

and tears are gathering in his eyes now, fuck, but he laughs a little. It sounds wet and his face is itchy and they're surrounded by tentative allies, but he- he laughs again and he says, "Fuck, you remembered that?"

Usopp shrugs, a little smile on his face. "They were some wise words from a wise man."

Sanji laughs a third time. "You think I'm wise?"

And they banter a little more before Bege tells them to quit it since they're on a time constraint or something. Quietly, Usopp will ask, "It-it helps. On bad days. And I figured, 'what's a worse day than this?' Ah, not that you getting married would ever be bad per se-"

"Usopp," Sanji says, looking more relaxed and settled. He smiles fondly and grabs his friend in a one armed hug, crushing him to his side. "Thanks."

And yeah, don't remember much beyond that, except the whole "hiding and then busting out of the cake" bit, which would mean Usopp in a cute little tuxedo or smth- maybe with a fedora aaaaaa <- loves fedoras- helping out with the fighting and eventually sailing with everyone to Wano.

He would be so distressed about fixing up Sunny now that the whole thing with Whole Cake is over. Maybe there'd be a gag about him promising Franky to take good care of Sunny while they were gone and being confident, after being Franky's tinkering partner and learning from him over time, that he could handle minor repair work much better than he did the first time around with Merry. And so when he finally takes in all the very-not-minor repairs he has to do, he's certain Franky is gonna strangle him for not keeping his promise. Probably also try to write in some nostalgic 'repairman Usopp' vibes from pre-Water 7.

Also something something, Sanji, wanting to do more for the crew bc he still feels guilty about Whole Cake, decides to take it upon himself to help Usopp not fall into a whole anxiety spiral about the ship. In turn, Usopp ends up helping Sanji not feel so guilty- usually by handing his own words back to him on a silver platter. And, yknow, having the two of them bonding and being buddies again like they so rarely get to be in canon nowadays qwq

#one piece #usopp #whole cake island #nemotime #that bit in bege's castle isn't exactly how it would go. just kinda. trying to get the vibe. also it's wayyy too short lol #the sanuso bit can be platonic or romantic. originally when i was gonna write out this idea a while ago i was thinking romantic with my #'they get engaged/married b4 dressrosa' au but tbh platonic works just as good #im- these guys man. i hate them so much (affectionate) #i'll get to rereading whole cake and finding a way to put him in there but for now. this. #if anyone's got other ideas im all ears #edit from like march 7: thinking about this again #maybe usopp being silent is an indicator for sanji that usopp's really fucking disappointed or shocked or w/e #but for usopp himself it's like being back in water 7. he doesn't even mean to be silent. he's got words built up on the tip of his tongue #but none of them come out. and despite sanji being Right There all he wants to do in that moment. is run. #at the very least he stays and watches the whole confrontation through. but afterwards he probably feels like shit #because he's the guy who's great with words right? he's the guy that can relate the most out of the group who went to WCI. he should be abl #to make a significant difference and help convince sanji to come home. but he feels like he failed. like he's going to lose another friend #and it's going to be all his fault. (again) #[not really. we all know merry wasn't his fault but we love old insecurities rearing their head in this house] #later he'd probably end up saying the words he wanted to say. and maybe it's better that way. that he ended up waiting #until luffy's had a proper shot at scolding sanji first. because then usopp can act as support and reinforcement. which. yknow. #a sniper's duty and all #anyway i got other shit to do so i'm cutting myself off here #wci usopp

[arttrampbelle]

Controversial and cringe as it is.

Imma do it.

I'm gonna f/o a disney villain.

But not just any Disney villain.

No imma f/o arguably the darkest,and most greatest Disney villain in the history of Disney villains (again this is entirely based upon preferences and personal opinions. So don't come at me)

Jean-claude frollo.

Yeah you heard me.

This guy

Yup.

Maybe if he got laid,had a wife,he'd stfu and leave my girl esmeralda alone. Maybe he wouldn't be an insufferable prick. Maybe if he got pegged,he'd behave his fuckin self

Oh sorry. I went off. My apologizes.

So yeah i have a Disney villain f/o officially and yeah....so new f/o and self ship to play around with the narrative.

literally every single one of my ocs (who are dudes, or masc-leaning) are the most doofy-aaaa boyfriend ever. like without fail i don't think i can even write a guy who, regardless of composition and personality, will turn into the most stuttering man-loser the second he's confronted with the sheer beauty/levelheadedness/competency of his boyfriend/wife/girlfriend/whatever

#rereading old rps with friends and im seeing a Pattern #highlights of like a 3 second stammer ending with “I'm Drunk” while being so red faced man forgot how to Breathe. ill let you guys guess wh #another example is the most dude bro grrr biker gang 5ever Dante whos like SHUT tHE FUCK UP I'm gonna go visit my girlfriend >:( teehehehe #or milo 'whoopty doo here comes the goo' mason kicking his legs and twirling a phone cord when charlie is within 10 miles of him #its an ongoing trend and its so funny to me #alphonse can be a smartass 24/7 but the second he's flirted back with he's like a puddle.

[secretagent9]

need to get my MiA thoughts out somewhere because i’ve been thinking about it again and i have so few people to discuss it with (read: my singular friend who’s already heard my impassioned mini-rants after we finished watching the most recent season together).

children! they’re weak and fragile and completely and utterly powerless, and yet they’re also full of so much inner strength that they can overcome practically anything! perfectly exemplified by how riko and co. have managed to not only survive, but also continue on their journey despite the overwhelming odds stacked against them! riko’s unflinching optimism in the face of unspeakable horrors! reg’s enduring kindness and empathy! nanachi’s wit and resourcefulness! these three have made it further than hundreds of maybe thousands of people from all around the world, and they’re all like 10-12 years old!! probably. i’m not actually sure; i could look it up but i’m always afraid of googling MiA and getting spoiled somehow ahsdjakl

i mean, just going into the abyss is a death sentence in and of itself. the abyss being this strange, beautiful world that ultimately doesn’t give two shits about the fact that they’re children, because nothing does! being young doesn’t protect them! people look at them and pity them but won’t shield them from the horrors of the world because they’re unavoidable! especially for children! because this is a world that values children as a resource, one that’s as precious as it is fairly easy to come by! because cave raiders keep heading into the abyss and dying and leaving their children behind with nothing to do but follow in their footsteps! because the abyss is just filled to bursting with all sorts of wonderful treasures and children are taught to risk their lives to get their hands on as much as they can! for money and fame and glory!

they’re taken advantage of! in so many ways! by the adults that are supposed to be caring for them and protecting them! because they’re not seen as people, they’re seen as things, to be used and gotten rid of when they’re no longer useful! only there’s always a use for them because they’re so expendable and because people value them so much and yet so little that you’ve got guys like bondrewd going around, scooping up as many orphans as he can carry to take them down into the abyss and experiment on them as much as he damn well pleases! even though, in his own twisted way, he actually cares for those children, he’s still using them for his own selfish gain.

and children have so much untapped potential! they’re the only ones that can use those special-grade relics; those “cradles of desire” will only grant their wishes, but it grants them in the worst possible ways! because how deeply might a child understand their own wants, their own desires? especially when they’re dealing with forces that no one truly understands?

children are as blessed as they are cursed! just by virtue of being children! in a world that won’t show them a single ounce of mercy! a world that robs them of every scrap of innocence they have! but that innocence doubles as a well of power that’s unlike any other! a great and terrible power!!

#tlldr being a kid in the mia world fucking sucks but you also might be able to become a god or something i don't know #i kinda lost steam toward the end of this lol #i'm not one of the only ones who thinks that the abyss is just one GIANT living creature right #like an old god or something #orth keeps fucking feeding it people but it also lures them in #and makes them sick?? apparently??? but only on their birthdays?! #the questions never end with this shit #the mysteries just keep piling up #man the wait for a new season is gonna kill me #unless the wait for new manga chapters does me in first #gotta pick up where i left off with it after the movie #made in abyss #made in abyss spoilers
