#Illegal celebral

[sadlynotthevoid]

So, you know how when an author is writing og!Cale and they want to give him a power, sometimes they give him fantasy spirit stuff? Well, I want elementals to have the usual 'spirit king per attribute' that you usually find in fantasy mangas, but make the water spirit king an axolotl and let og!Cale befriend them.

And when I say Axolotl Water Spirit King I mean 'non-parlant little flying axolotl' that can turn into a 'giantic, water-looking-like, could swallow a pirate ship, still non-parlant axolotl' a la Ponyo.

Just, Imagine og!Cale who was just minding his business and finds a little dorky amphibian that got trapped in a net. And the little dorky one smiles at him. He has no choice but to help it.

The little one likes him. They become friends :D!!

So, turns out his animal friend can fly. Cool.

His new friend decided to follow him— Wait, where is he going?

...Oh.

So, his little friend is not so little anymore.

Ey, don't— spit it out! Spit the bad woman out!

And he doesn't like his relatives.

#original cale henituse #og cale henituse #og!cale henituse #og cale and his axolotl spirit friend #I can imagine his relatives and the Henituse fighting over what to do with the 'totally friendly' mascot of cale #And cale insisting that it's not his pet #just his animal friend #that turned out not to be an animal #But they still can't hurt him #The Henituse's support him because if a giant little magic amphibian makes Cale happy then the amphibian stays #Things escalate so much that the king has to get involve to resolve the conflict #The king's birthday celebration gets delayed by Cale's pet's fault #Zed brings the three oldest princes because they were classy fighting near him while he was hearing the report #and he's petty #They pass through Tolz's village on the way and one of Alberu's dark elf guards overhears a conversation about very illegal things #The Vizcount gets an improvised royal inspection and Raon is saved by Alberu #Eventually they arrive at Rain City #they are confused af when they see the little axolotl eating cookies with Cale Henituse #wasn't he supposed to be a terrorific giant aquatic creature?

Looks like some shitty ship discussions have surfaced in hl fandom again, but I don't mean that here actually xd

I'd like to hear a little bit (or a lot) more about your fav kind of freehoun if you don't mind sharing! Maybe some pre & post rescas headcanons, idk any stuff you would like to tell, and if you want. No pressure

i'm actually really glad i got an ask like this, i have seen some shipping discourse bubbling back up and it's just. can we not? enjoy what you enjoy, at the end of the day none of this is canon unless valve says otherwise, no need for the infighting. anyway, prepare for a text wall with barely any grammar.

pre-rescas: -i like to think that gordon and barney met very soon after gordon was hired and they got along like a match to a flame (is that the saying?), like barney came along on gordon's first tour of the facility and maybe even got lunch with him. -since the majority of workers at black mesa are most likely 30+, barney was especially drawn to gordon (not only because he was kinda cute) since there was finally another young and seemingly down to earth guy around. -honestly my favourite trope is having barney pine after gordon and try to suppress his major crush on him. -it's kinda sad to say or really acknowledge, but back in the 2000's and early 90's, obv lgbtq+ matters were not as accepted, i mean being called 'gay' was like the worst insult imaginable at the time. because of this, i do think barney would be a little wary of his own gay thoughts, maybe even dislike himself a little because of it. eventually i'm sure he'd grow to accept that he is, in fact, gay. -when it comes to the two hooking up, i really, really like the idea of their relationship being kept hush hush. it's pretty hot ngl and i think it would be the most plausible for their situation. -personally i don't really think barney nor gordon would call eachother pet names, or really say 'i love you' without hesistance. i feel like they'd show their affection in different ways, for gordon he'd show his love through gift giving i think. like the occassional snack for a tired barney on the night shift, or a box of donuts if he's feeling generous. -gordon always makes up excuses for why barney has to visit his dorm room so often. one day it's a faulty tap in the bathroom, or the next a clogged airvent. people seem to believe him because his voice is so monotone.

post-rescase/hl2: -during the years where gordon is abscent, barney, for the most part, holds out on hope that he will come back. over time, as barney gets older and older and nothing seems to be changing but only getting worse, he grows more cynical. i think that maybe 5 or so years before gordon's return, barney had forced himself to settle on the idea that he was not coming back. -after taking gordon into his office, he doesn't outright hug him or ball his eyes out, but it's so so obvious that he's feeling a bunch of old bottled up emotions when gordon looks into his eyes. gordon probably does give him a hug though. -however on gordon's end, i feel like things at the start would be a little awkward. his feelings are as strong as they were back then, as it hasn't been 2 decades for him. -i like to think that around the time when gordon arrived at kleiner's lab, that's when gordon approaches barney about their past and they maybe rekindle things, just a little. like maybe a longing look or kiss on the cheek. -honestly there's not really much i can say about hl2 as barney's appearances are so brief. basically i just think that they'd use every moment they had whilst the other was around to get a little closer again, even if they're not outright smoochin' it up or anything. -HOWEVER, in my happy little half-life, barney arrives at white forest with a group of rebels and he spends a few days in bed all patched up and gordon frequently visits his room and maybe even sleeps there with him, it had been quite a while since they'd met up again, gordon honestly thought barney had been blown tf up after the citadel's explosion. -they basically just hang out A LOT in white forest and eventually one of them works up the courage to start their relationship up again. -i think the idea of them once again sneaking away from crowded areas of the WF base so they can have a little privacy together is pretty cute, like they did in black mesa. -and if we're gonna enter hl3 territory, i think gordon, eli and barney would all set out into the arctic to do combine project borealis mossman stuff, and then save alyx :) amazing writing.

i probably have a lot more ideas floating around in my head but i think this is more than enough lol thanks for the ask, this was fun to put together!

#half life #half life 2 #freehoun #my headcanons #all in all can we please just get along we all love this 25 year old game and its characters we dont need to 'pick a side' #there's so much creativity and talent in this community as a whole NOT just the shipping side of it i mean ALL OF IT #so i think all ships and art and headcanons should be celebrated and stuff ya know #even if a certain headcanon isn't for you thats ok you don't need to flame someone for it (unless it's like bordering illegal or something) #this goes for all fandoms tbh #we should all just be like vortigaunts #We are One within the Vortessence love thy neighbour or something idk

The doctrine of discovery is one of the core concepts used to justify colonialism, especially of the settler variety. This is what the Canadian Museum of Human Rights says about it:

The Doctrine of Discovery is a legal and religious concept that has been used for centuries to justify Christian colonial conquest. It advanced the idea that European peoples, culture and religion were superior to all others.

The doctrine of discovery comes from a series of declarations from the pope in the 1400s that suggested christianity and christian cultures were superior to all other religions and cultures, and basically said that christian europeans had the right to invade and claim land and resources from non-christian people, and also had the right to subjugate and convert those populations. It's literally at the very core of colonial history and the myth of white supremacy and christian supremacy.

When the pope was visiting Indigenous communities in canada last summer, more than an apology for the catholic church's role in residential schools, what people were asking for was the overturning of the doctrine of discovery. An apology is meaningless as long as that doctrine stands.

Today, the vatican formally rejected the doctrine of discovery. It's a symbolic gesture, sure. But it's still a sign that things are changing. Space was held for Indigenous voices, and the vatican of all places listened to them.

Obviously, there's still work to be done, and colonization didn't just suddenly end because of this announcement, but this is still huge news, and it feels like we're a tiny step closer to Land Back.

#even 5 years ago i dont think this would've been possible you know #so even tho it is largely symbolic it's a move in the right direction and something worth celebrating #also the fact the catholic church listened to the demands of Indigenous people and responded to them so quickly?? #yo @ canadian gov y'all are worse than the catholic church 🤡 🤡 how does that feel??? #y'all gonna speed up progress on those calls to action or ??? #no but honestly this is the kind of history i am happy to witness you know? #i truly never thought I'd see the day when the vatican said #'no actually we don't support this. the doctrine of discovery is wrong and we will not uphold it any longer' #doctrine of discovery #chritianity #history #indigenous #canada #links in the comments for reference #also just bc the doctrine was rejected doesn't mean reconciliation is done #the rcmp is currently actively invading Wet'suwet'en again to try and force through cgl's v illegal pipeline #this is a moment to celebrate yes #but it's not the end of the fight yet right #indigenous sovereignty is still being violated #land theft is still happening #and this doesn't mean that suddenly all of that is behind us

Happy 4/20 🌿

Well, it's that time of year again. Pass the blunt and have some snacks for the munchies 'cause we're 'bout to get higher than a kite in here!

As always, obey your local drug laws and be mindful of how much you can take before experiencing side-effects and/or if you can even handle marijuana in the first place. The last thing you need is having to call an ambulance 'cause you're a lightweight for pot.

#i might get reprimanded for this but i don't care #not everywhere in the world pot is illegal and happy 4/20 to those who can celebrate #cheers ill smoke to that

did yk religion is just older generations hyperfixtation

#which was passed down #and they believe it'll fix them #or in the moment when they are being very religious and celebrating it #it's their means of escapism?? #but they get too obsessed with it sometimes and try to force it on others same way some people do these days for other things #some things are publicly acceptable and some are not #yk #i was thinking yesterday and it makes so much sense in my head idk why #it feels illegal but it does #v.txt

if my former 1099 employer wanted to fuck me so bad they should have just bought me dinner or something

#happy tax day to those who celebrate #i owe over a thousand i absolutely do not have bc 1099 employment should be illegal

looking at the lyrics for the last chapter of the celebrity fake dating au and getting all sentimental about what could’ve been so, for my own indulgence and maybe like 2 other people’s curiosity, here are some scrapped lyrics that never made it in but are very near and dear to my heart and to the story anyway

Caution by The Killers

Tonight the winds of change are blowin' wild and free / If I don't get out / Out of this town / I just might be the one who finally burns it down

(there was a point earlyyyyy on, before Robin and Nancy got so soft with each other, that their affair would’ve been a lot messier and a lot more reckless than it turned out to be, and this def would’ve been on one of those chapters)

Chicago - Sufjan Stevens (The Staves cover)

If I was crying / In the van, with my friends / It was for freedom / From myself, and for the land / I made a lot of mistakes

(i mean there are a lot of places this could’ve gone, particularly in the late 80s/early 90s chapters. and yes, the Staves cover part is important, their version is just hauntingly gorgeous)

Snow on the Beach - Taylor Swift (feat. Lana Del Rey)

Now it's like snow at the beach / Weird, but fuckin' beautiful / Flying in a dream Stars by the pocketful / You wanting me / Tonight feels impossible / But it's comin' down / No sound, it's all around

(this was so close to being the lyrics for the Golden Globes chapter. it was so freaking close. but i changed that chapter’s lyrics to Lover of Mine because it fit Robin’s uncertainty better. but damn, the first time i listened to Midnights i was like !!! cfdau!!)

Dear Reader - Taylor Swift

Dear reader / the greatest of luxuries is your secrets

(yes there are multiple Taylor Swift songs here. i’m sorry/you’re welcome. anyway this would’ve gone in the chapter after Steve’s affair got out. but that also happens to be the chapter where ronance finally kisses so their song (killing me by ofelia k) won out)

Keep Me - Novo Amor

Keep me honest, keep me kind / Keep me as your finish line / Keep me, keep me on fire

(i kept holding onto this for quiet moments with robin and nancy, particularly their balcony chats through the years, but it never ended up going in. still soft tho, and another one from the album that i listened to on repeat while i wrote those early chapters <3)

You’re On Your Own, Kid - Taylor Swift

'Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned / Everything you lose is a step you take

(it would’ve worked so well for the second to last chapter, but Maya Hawke’s ‘Over’ won out because of course it did. that was the first chapter i put lyrics on (aside from the actual first chapter, since that’s the song the fic is named after)

Backup Plan - Maya Hawke

Your favorite game, your secrеt shame, your eyesorе / I wanna be anything you've lost that you might be lookin' for

(i mean....this is a fic about affairs. it would’ve gone so well during robin and nancy’s relationship or even in the months leading up to it when they’re both pining. this is another one that i just kept putting off so it never went in, but also ‘Over’ is my absolute favorite Maya Hawke song, and I kind of wanted to give it a place of privilege as her only song in the fic, or something silly like that)

On Board - Alana Henderson, Joshua Burnside

So you should get on board / With someone whose course is steadier than mine / You should get on board / With someone whose eyes are on the horizon / Not on the skies

(this is kinda a stobin song for this fic, and also a ronance song at some points, and i really couldn’t decide where it worked best but i really do love it as a robin pov song no matter what so maybe i’ll throw it in another fic at some point)

3 Rounds and a Sound - Blind Pilot

Now I see you, 'til kingdom come / You're the one I want / To see me for all / The stupid shit I've done

(listen this is just a very sweet, slow dancing in the kitchen kinda love song, but ‘you’re the one i want to see me for all the stupid shit i’ve done’ like?? that’s so good for robin and nancy? but i actually heard this for the first time pretty late in the process so it didn’t show up in time to make the cut)

Crow’s Feet - The Accidentals

Sometimes I will lose all I have just to see what remains / Sometimes it's like living a / Car crash, hot flash / It takes someone bleeding to get you believing / A record spinning / Obsessed with the end when it's just the beginning

(if i could i would paste this entire song into the beginning of this fic, or at the end, because it’s just such a good anthem about life and pain and the experience of years. it fits incredibly well with the last few chapters. but hey, maybe it’ll also show up in the future, maybe in some nancy pov or something)

#celebrity fake dating au #writing things #this is long and rambly feel free to ignore i will not be offended lol #also i looked back through some of the original notes #(like. the grammarless nearly illegible nonsense i initially wrote on my phone one night) #and the original codename for this fic was PR relationship au??? #which i had COMPLETELY forgotten but yeah that was the original original concept. stobin PR relationship that the fans get too invested in #(it sort of spiraled from there. if you couldn't tell)

[cinemaocd]

Was it racism or snobbery about digital effects that led Nolan to remove those Indian VFX artists from the credits of Oppenheimer?

Yes.

In this day and age of there being credits for the drivers, the accountants, the caterers...why would you remove the actual artists working on the film if you didn't want to hide the fact that you had digital visual effects artists AS WELL as all the practical effects people that have been so hyped on this production. The bonus for American film bros that sit through the credits...they won't have to read a list of foreign names while the end music plays...

#I once spent a weekend in Hollywood with some folks that I met in a bar who were celebrating after a premiere #they all worked in the industry bts #and all of them said they go to the premiere because hey its free and why not and also their name is on the film and that's fun #even if it flies by #their parents rent the movies and freeze the frame and show it to their neighbors etc. #it's a small nice gesture #and its supremely dickish and hopefully FUCKING ILLEGAL and I hope nolan gets some grief for it because he deserves it honestly

I'd ask Santa to redistribute billionaires' wealth to the poor as my gift for Christmas, but with the copious amounts of monster porn I consume, I don't think I'm making it onto the nice list this year :((

#virgo talks #monster fucker #nsft #that and making it illegal for people to own or rent private jets #gonna skim past the part where I don't celebrate crisler

Rows upon rows of colourful flowers and cards stood out strongly against the dullness and grime she was accustomed to seeing here in Gotham. Mother's Day was a joyous occasion for many but to her, it only served as yet another reminder as to how she did not belong in this country.

#🌈 || musings #Khare: I just fucking got over not being able to celebrate Mother's Day and ya'll are now celebrating it here #Her illegal ass cannot handle it #asdfghjkl just doing tiny things to work up energy and motivation! #And to jump in on the Mother's Day stuff because that happened months ago in Britain LOL #She misses home :(
