#about a post from earlier kind of

[quibbs126]

Thing, take it

Context: what if instead of White Lily just being White Lily when she split from Dark Enchatress, she was kind of a different person? Still has the memories of White Lily (or at least regains them at the end of story), but is also not entirely her, I don’t know how to explain what I’m trying to say. Also she’s short/child sized because the remnants of White Lily’s dough wasn’t enough to make a full size White Lily. Also she lives with the faeries, and maybe in her amnesiac state she thought she was a wingless faerie

Why? Because I think it would have been neat if White Lily was never fully back, gives more impact as to what happened to her. I know that was never going to happen, she was always going to be playable and such , this is just how I feel

Also not necessarily saying this is better than what we got, it’s just what I would have liked

#sorry this is written weird because I just want to post the art #I was writing it before but I felt like it was overly long #left out stuff about the design though #a lot of the colors come from White Lily’s costume #which I really only used heavily in the coloring stage I didn’t think about doing that earlier #also I feel like maybe she looks too much like White Lily and so she’s just a clone of her #I mean that kind of is what she is but maybe I should have made her look more different #anyways #cookie run #cookie run kingdom #white lily cookie #my art

I don't begrudge anyone their campaign preferences, and I think there's plenty of valid reasons to like Campaign 3 the best and this is not directed at people who are genuinely having a great time with it, but it feels like virtually all the nostalgia and wishful thinking I see surrounding Campaign 3 is screaming "you guys want Campaign 2." You want more slow travel and downtime and interparty conversations and slow-burn romance? You wish their main focus was fighting governmental corruption? You want a party that only semi-settles down at the end and keeps adventuring and remains very close? You're frustrated by how everpresent and overarching the moon plot is? You miss when they were just fucking around in a city? I genuinely believe you want Campaign 2, or at best you love a specific ship or a character from Campaign 3 but aren't happy about basically anything else, and would vastly prefer the tone and events and plot of Campaign 2. And I don't really care if you watch Campaign 2, or if you think I'm being annoying here; I simply genuinely believe you'd be happier watching Campaign 2 than Campaign 3 and are so deep in a sunk cost fallacy well you can't see it.

#the number of people who SCREAM if you imply campaign 3 is not the greatest campaign but also openly resent the moon focus is. high. #i've had my complaints about the people from c1 who would shit on c2 but i'll give them this: they actually do love c1. #it feels a lot of people just want bells hells at a chuck e cheese birthday party and like. that's not campaign 3 babe. #i actually have grown to really like the moon plot once it finally took off #and c3 has had some satisfying lore resolutions and new places #but it feels like the people who showed up to ship kind of hate the core plot of the campaign which. is the core plot of the campaign. #cr tag #this is intended to be read in conversation with the post from earlier about things not being deep too #like it's ok if your blorbo or otp is in c3...but if that's the only thing you love do you love the campaign or do you just love them #also. i also don't begrudge anyone their reasons for watching a show #but I've seen like three people i follow try to watch wot solely bc Lanfear is hot and give up bc there's so much lore #and people get mad candela didn't give them a happy ending for their ship #it really is like did you show up for c3 or did you show up for a blorbo delivery system #not realizing this is prix fixe instead if made to order

How do you think Laswell met her wife? What's domestic life like for her when she gets to go home?

Have a lovely day!

Hello! A second CoD post today since I was able to write this fairly quickly! This is about how I think Laswell met her canon wife, but everyone can interpret this however they like! I hope this is enjoyable!

Laswell Meeting Her Wife and Domestic Life With Her

If we’re talking about someone inserting themselves into the CoD world, then I’d say it’d be however the person intended to meet her. However, if we’re talking about her canon wife, then I’d likely have to say through work. It’s not uncommon for someone to meet through work. Besides, I can imagine the CIA having a few women working there as well, a few more than just Laswell. So, there’s a chance another one of the women working there was also into girls. And that’s likely one of the main factors that drew Laswell to that specific woman.

Don’t get me wrong, Laswell doesn’t develop crushes easily, she doesn’t now, she didn’t back then, but it would likely be that feeling of unity, of not being alone, that would draw Laswell to her future wife. It’s not often someone would have come out back then, especially not to someone you’re not sure about, so she knows something like that is an honor. And it’s that which would make her subconsciously like that woman more than the other ones, wanting to spend more time with her, get to know her better. And in those years she’d have known her, she’d eventually fall in love with her. Laswell knows what she’s feeling, but she’d test the waters a bit at first. To anyone outside it would be obvious she likes that woman more than anyone else. Given that she gives her lots and lots of gifts to gauge her reaction, takes the time out of her day to spend with her and overall just compliments her, it’s hard to not think there’s something going on here. Laswell doesn’t realize this immediately, but she will eventually.

Afterwards I’d say it was probably her wife who asked her about that sort of behavior. And, a few days later, either of them would have probably confessed they like the other. And thus a few years of dating commence.

After a year or two, Laswell would have proposed to her. Although she sometimes did lie awake at night, thinking about what it would have been like for her future wife to propose to her instead, she was just that smitten by her. As she works for the CIA as well, Laswell knows her wife is just as capable as she is. Maybe she doesn’t know as many languages, but it doesn’t matter to her, once they go on vacation Laswell can play interpreter. And on vacations they went together. Not very often, mind you, since the both of them were stationed anywhere in the world, but they would try to see the nicer parts of the world together. Amsterdam, Kyoto, Vienna. All of that stuff. By that time, they had already long since moved in together.

So, it isn’t often the two of them get to see each other in general, but that’s why they cherish what little time they can spend together. Their love never falters, and when they’re alone behind doors it’s kind of sickeningly sweet how they treat each other. It used to be worse when they were younger, but they’ve since mellowed out a little bit. So, when Laswell is home, her domestic situation can be a bit lonely. But for the sake of this ask we’re going to say her wife is actually home this time.

She doesn’t like to cook very much, so there won’t be too many homemade meals. Her wife can only be convinced to stand behind the stove whenever Laswell eggs her on, promising her a small reward, such as going to the cinema together. Her wife never cooks alone, only with Laswell. All those other times she either eats out, grabs something that only needs to be heated up or orders food. It’s only with Laswell that she can get over her disdain of cooking.

However, other than that, the two of them will take turns doing chores. If either of them just came home from work, then the other will take care of cleaning, washing clothes, putting away stuff and so on and so forth. They usually do their tasks together. So one of them will clean the dishes while the other one cleans the kitchen. If all tasks are done for either of them, then they’ll help the other. Since they’re both aware teamwork is important, something they learned throughout their careers, they would never hesitate to do so.

Laswell’s wife is a more traditionally affectionate woman than Laswell herself. She loves to give her wife a kiss every morning and before work, make her coffee and maybe toast some bread while she’s at it as well. As she usually gets up earlier than Laswell, she usually gets those things out of the way immediately, but won’t wake her up. It’s usually the loud coffee machine that does.

Overall, the domestic situation between the two of them is very loving. They don’t see each other that often, but whenever they do, they make that short amount of time count. With a kiss and a hug from her wife here and there, Laswell never ends up touch starved either. However, the only thing that had been bothering her about her wife would be her nagging about her smoking. That’s why she’s trying to quit now, just to keep her happy. Happy wife, happy life, after all. Whenever Laswell gets to see her wife content, she’s happy as well. She’d go through all nine circles of hell just to protect her and make sure nothing would happen to her. And at some point in her career, she likely has done that already.

#cod #kate laswell #today is a very non-reader insert heavy day it seems but that's alright as well #I also got another request I'll be posting tomorrow. another one about Laswell! #people have been really loving on her as of late but I don't mind that in the slightest! she deserves it! #Laswell would be a very loving wife I'd say! not as cuddly or hug-y as other people but she loves giving gifts #receiving a lot of gifts from her is one way of telling she's into you so she's very affectionate like that #her wife is also a really sweet woman who knows how to put her foot down though #it's that sweetness and kindness that also drew Laswell in as well #they're also both about the same age even if her wife started working for the CIA a bit earlier than Laswell did #I HC that Laswell started when she was 25 so her wife likely started when she was 23 or so #Laswell has been working for the CIA for a long time now and so has her wife. but they're both very competent and know what they do #I also HC them both to be in their early/mid 50's as well so they have been dating for a while #I like to think Laswell got married in her early 30's and they got together when she was in her late 20's #lots of Laswell HC lore drop tonight it seems

You and your timing.

FARSCAPE | 4.22 Bad Timing

#farscape #farscape gifs #johnaeryn #john x aeryn #claudia black #ben browder #john crichton #aeryn sun #my gifs #bad timing #theyre so in love #thinking about that post i reblogged earlier about the best ship dynamic being 'i love you so much it's terrifying - a love so profound so #quickly that you need to run immediately before you hurt yourself and your love' and how that's literally Aeryn's MO from the beginning #and then you have this line 'I always could [see how this would end]' and it kills me because she knew. She knew the moment John said 'not #lot. not much at all' that she was going to fall for this stupid alien #because he intrigues her - she's spent her whole life following orders. knowing that curiosity was something to be quashed. and then she #meets this idiot who's got no idea about anything and he stands on a planet marveling like he's never stepped outside his own home #and she's curious. She thinks hes a useless waste of space and resources. but she's curious. Because he stands up for her. he intuits that #she's going to be executed and so he defends her. he doesn't know her but he does that for her. And that - that is a kindness she's unfamil #ar with. #and then he goes and tell her she can be more. more than her upbringing. more than her training. and she knows that she's ruined. she can't #go back to the PKs either way and in that moment she's not sure she wants to #and you can see her resist so many times. it's like she can see their fate and resists. she makes purposeful turns to leave and every time #she's dragged back to him. time and time again. and every time it's like she knows its going to happen #but this love she sees. this future. it's different and its terrifying and so she leaves him. And then she falls back to Moya and for a #couple of episodes she thinks it might be okay to let their love play out. but then someone else dies or is put in danger and its too big a #scary for her so she hides it away. knowing full well that their love is inevitable. She wouldn't leave her nice known life for just anyone #claudia black gifs

One of the best Voyager scenes to indicate Tuvok & Neelix's dynamic and how I think Tuvok is just as if not more 'annoying'(positive) than Neelix is when Neelix pours Tuvok a fresh squeezed glass of a fruit juice blend and Tuvok's like (paraphrased) "I don't want to drink this." and Neelix is like "Can you please try it?" and Tuvok's like "I don't want to, you're really bad at this sort of thing. It's going to taste bad." and Neelix says that Ensign XYZ said she LOVED it, she even had a second glass! And Tuvok says Ensign XYZ could drink poison without a second thought and Neelix is like "Tuvok could you please just TRY it? Just try a little SIP of it PLEASE??" and Tuvok sighs and rolls his eyes and sniffs it before taking a sip and it turns out he loves it. Turns out it tasted good actually. And then after all that Neelix tries to talk to him over eggs (which he's again cooking fresh for him) and Tuvok tells him he doesn't wanna hear "the life history of his breakfast." Absolutely insufferable this man I would have burned his eggs on PURPOSE!!!!

#I love Neelix so much and I think he and Tuvok are very funny together - irritating4irritating #People say 'Neelix is so pushy with Tuvok!' and you know what? I think Tuvok can handle it. I think maybe he does need to be pushed - #down a flight of stairs. (he's my favorite character and he's so annoying...TUVOK!!!!!) #Tuvok: -kicking and screaming- I don't want to drink the juice!!! It's poison!!! You're trying to poison me!!!!!!!!! #Neelix: Can you please drink the juice. The fresh squeezed juice I made for you Mr. Vulcan??? Can you please??? #Tuvok: Fine but if I die it's your fault. If I die from the poison you're FORCING me to drink it's on y- Oh this is delicious actually. #and don't tell me 'Neelix didn't make it SPECIFICALLY for Tuvok' bc I know he didn't but he says #'I'll start squeezing that second glass!' after Tuvok finishes his sip so he IS freshly squeezing it #Neelix: -makes Tuvok fresh squeezed juice- #Tuvok: Are you trying to poison me??? #Neelix: -talks to Tuvok while making his eggs- #Tuvok: Can you be quiet??? #<- TUVOK!!!!!!!! I'M GONNA KILL YOU EHHEHEHEH <3 #Tuvok is the most annoying guy ever bc he doesn't care about what people think and is a snob with a lowkey superiority complex #vs Neelix is perceived as annoying (post his relationship with Kes) bc he cares a lot about being useful and helping the crew and sometimes #is too pushy because of that but listen...I think Neelix is sweet and genuinely trying his best - after the Kes plotline with him ends I #really don't find him objectionable. Just chatty & a bit overbearing maybe Meanwhile Tuvok !!! #Meanwhile Tuvok!!!!!!!!! HHEHEHHE #st voyager #star trek voyager #I think they should have done more with Neelix thinking the crew of Voyager were spoiled - specifically how Tuvok acts Like That sometimes #little lord Tuvok. oH SORRY...for DEIGNING to speak while preparing your eggs your HIGHNESS!! #I think people do a disservice to Tuvok by not talking more about how he's kind of a hardass and a snob v_v also a disservice to Janeway #indirectly bc her bestie is kind of a hardass and a snob and what does that say about her?? #I also wish Neelix kept up a bit of that 'these people are crazy and also so soft oh my god shut up about the food being bad - we're trying #to SURVIVE!!! Eat the Leola Root!!' from the earlier seasons...I like when he shows he has a bit of bite #It's just funny and interesting that Janeway isn't friends with Tuvok bc he's 'not like other Vulcans' - she's friends with the most #Vulcany Vulcan ever and I love that for them. #CRIMINAL that we don't ever get any in-depth insight into their friendship #Tuvok

need 2 take a vacation or just some time off at home… I really like that I split my days off so I’m no longer working 5 days in a row but I still feel the burnout creeping in 🥲

#I’ve been so tired for two weeks.

okay focused on splatoon hard enough i have a splatsona now

hope the alt text is good enough! fun fact i didnt really pay attention to competitive players that much so i only just learnt that hiding in ink and then jumping out at people isnt actually called ''me jumpscare''

#splatoon #splatoon oc #my art #splatoon 3 #splatoon fanart #no idea what else to tag this with #kind of regret not getting into splatoon earlier because from what ive heard splat 1 and 2 are so much better #and i cannot find out how to get my wiiu emulator to run online without official files #because i dont have a wiiu to get those official files from and like i found a copy of them online but like it needs to be set to specific #settings to work and i dont know what those are. and wiiu online services are getting shut down soon anyways #also switch emulators all hate me and my mid-tier laptop so no splatoon 2 / octo expansion for me #but still whatever. i have created a silly guy and you will all observe #so nervous about posting art tbh what if everyone hates me and my art actually sucks and i must have too much false confidence to post #and i actually killed someone by posting this and what if people were waiting for me to post art so they could have an excuse to kill me #but still im posting anyways #tbh my main fear is that someones going to be like ''this looks too different to your other art explode'' or something because #my artstyle can be consistent sometimes but also sometimes it just doesnt do that

[rotisseries]

just realized 3 people I was mutuals with have unfollowed me and I'm trying not to overthink it lol

#WHAT DID I DO WHAT DID I DO WHAT DID I DOOOOOOOO😭 #tbh I know at least one of my other mutuals lately has had issues with tumblr like. force unfollowing them from me lol #so I'd kind of. assume maybe it's that maybe it's accidental? but. 3 of them? #and the selection in question hardly makes it look coincidental.... #is there a screenshot of me in the gc? be honest #and like it's fine its not even that bad I didn't even really talk to 2 of them maybe they just got bored of me we hardly interacted #but I'd talked to the 3rd one frequently through asks at least #they answered one of mine just earlier this last week in a really friendly manner LIKE. I THOUGHT WE WERE COOL #HOW LONG HAS THIS EVEN BE GOING ON #I suspect one of them probably unfollowed me in july... I sent them a 💌 for that mutual ask game and they never answered #which would make sense if we weren't mutuals anymore #oh wait oh my god was that about the goddamn “henry creel stans are crazy” post drama. that would be weird. there's no way #but it happened around the same time... #I literally can't live like this would it be insane to send asks to these people and figure out what I did

[capaldiera]

it was so not the point of mash and would have been jarring tbh but like rn i'm wishing father mulcahy had actually talked about religion in more than just little quips. girl what are your thoughts and what things do you like to focus on. btw

#thinking abiut this rn because i was wondering if theres any particular saints he likes but i think it was kicked off by when i was thinkin #g earlier today about. well i was thinking about heroes again. specifically about the men he grew up around and didnt want to be like and t #he places he looked to for the kind of man he did want to be (reading plato; what he saw of gentleman joe cavanaugh) #and i was thinking about the ways he differed from the other kids (who bullied him) and the kind of kid his dad wanted him to be (to me the #subtext in emphasising how much he used to sit inside reading directly before talking about going to the match with his dad is that his dad #kind of dragged him along and wanted him to be into boxing instead) #and so i was thinking about all that and in listing the plato thing and the boxing match thing. i thought about jesus and how like the chr #istian bible descibes him as gentle and kind and patient and whatnot. and how he fits into that list and like obviously one assumes he is a #role model for mulcahy. lol. but the show doesnt really go there bc thats just not the tone its not what the show is #(not complaining about that it would most likely be done sooo obnoxiously and like its literally not what i want to see on tv) #and then i was wondering about when his religion became really important for him. like given what he seems to feel about his family #and how much he doesnt talk about them. i would assume its a connection he more or less found/established as independent from them #which leads me to think of it as either something he got into later or something which was a refuge for him as a kid. #and like ive thought before about how the things he mentions in heroes Dont have to do with catholicism. and maybe thats just bc it wasn't #part of the story. or maybe its because he just wasnt really looking there for guidance and hope at that point #anyway i dont have answers to any of these questions i was simply turning them over in my head like smooth pebbles in my mouth #me.txt #mashposting #oh i got soo distracted here but ALSO the reason i was thinking about it when i made thsi post is bc i was wondering what stained glass he #likes Lol #for potential use in a joke post i might make
