wow, that’s a… goofy looking lab rat you got there, didn’t know that it’s dna has been spliced
but did you even know that your goofy looking rat is genderfluid demiromantic and pansexual and uses they/she/he pronouns too? because I sure didn’t until I spoke to them.
also I’m pretty sure she likes listening to Black Dresses, your rat has good music taste 👍

What Non DnD TTRPGs Feel Like
Okay, quick thread about what playing different non DnD ttrpgs feels like.
--
Pathfinder
This is DnD. It feels like DnD. It's like going to a slightly different church. Some of the words used during the service are different, but at the end of it the pulpit turns out to be a mimic and you cast Entangle and summon your direwolf.
--
Fate
This is Rule Of Cool with additional rules. The GM has powers to one-up you or lead you into temptation, but you have powers to one-up the GM, and all these powers use the same kind of token that you ultimately shuffle back and forth.
--
Savage Worlds
Handwave-style DnD (positive connotation.)
The GM has a lot of freedom to pick genre and setting, and the gameplay is sleeker, rule-of-cool-ier without losing meaningful combat or character building.
--
Call Of Cthulhu
You may not be an old librarian, but you sure are built like one. Most acts of violence can flatten you in a couple of hits, but violence doesn't happen often. It's the punctuation mark at the end of a long sentence. Atmosphere and pacing rule over this land.
--
World Of Darkness
This is a game about getting deep into your character's headspace. It's about figuring out who they are and roleplaying them passionately. Your backstory choices and powers have a huge affect on how you interact with the world around you.
--
Warhammer Fantasy / Dark Heresy
You are Scrumbles McGrumbles, a walking heap of morbidity and washed-up soldiering. You are trying to find your place in a world that's having an even worse day than you are. Your best friend is a ratcatcher. Together you will be heroes.
--
OSR (Mork Borg, Mausritter, Into The Odd, Dungeon Crawl Classics, Labyrinth Lord, Cairn, tons more)
DnD boiled down to two components: GMing + Making A Guy. GMing is made as easy as possible and PCs are somewhat disposable, so the story is the hijinks you get into together.
--
Powered By The Apocalypse (Masks, Nahual, Monsterhearts, Pasion De Las Pasiones, tons more)
The goal is to get into trouble and stir up drama. Succeeding on a roll with no consequences is rare, but when you fail you fail forward into even bigger, messier drama.
--
Blades In The Dark
You go on missions and then return to your base. The missions are about choices as much as about rolls, and you build your base together to make yourselves more powerful as a squad.
--
Trophy
Your goal is to lose. Specifically, it's to lose in a dramatic and harrowing fashion that sticks with everyone at the table. Think movies like Annihilation, but as oneshot games.
--
Golden Sky Stories
You like everyone at the table with you. When someone does something adorable, you can award them exp. The highlight of the session is someone getting flustered and/or speaking in a squeaky voice.
--
Ryuutama
You are going on a journey and helping other people along the way. Important choices include packing lunch, wearing appropriate clothing, and completely filling your canteen. Combat is a cozy, pastel color jrpg.
--
The Indie
There are so, so many games that are just completely their own thing, and that I can't squeeze into a single thread. If you discover you like game mechanics and you want to Get Weird with seeing what they can do, there is an entire scene here waiting to welcome you.
--
Stuff I Missed
There's lots of stuff I haven't played, or didn't remember in the moment, or absolutely love but it would take a whole thread to explain why I love it. I will do more game recommendations in the future, but you can also comment systems you like below!

Tumblr media
♧ his ballerina. 💫
Yandere Scaramouche x Ballerina Reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
TW : Yandere themes, unhealthy relationships, and huge spoilers to Scaramouche’s backstory. Inspired by this post right here.
Word Count : 1.2k
A/N : I got huge inspiration from his teaser! I love him and his character lore so much! I wanted to get this out during maintenance before Scaramouche would be released in game! I knew I had to write a fic about the ballerina and Scaramouche 😭
Tumblr media
The past wasn’t something Scaramouche often liked to dwell on. He’d often describe his own as painful and tragic.
After being abandoned by his own mother because he was deemed useless, he was left to venture and explore the world on his own. But who knew that the pure, innocent soul would experience even more heartbreak after his birth?
His past was something he didn’t want to even think about. But as the old saying goes, in darkness there’s always hope. Maybe it would be true for everyone else, but it seems that Scaramouche would just face darkness after darkness.
The hollow puppet was wandering around the streets of Snezhnaya in the middle of the evening. He had finished all his harbinger duties and there was nothing left to do. 
He stared into the night sky as he thought about his old life. He sometimes wonders what would have happened if his mother didn’t throw him away, deeming him useless. 
He snapped out of those thoughts as he noticed a ton of people gathering around what had looked like a stage. He was curious at what was happening and he heard chatter going around saying that a dancer would be performing in a few minutes.
With nothing better to do, he sat down on the hill near the back which gave him a good view. 
The stage light was on you and you began your performance. Your graceful moves and the way you danced on stage was incredibly mesmerizing. The way you moved with the soft music in the background along with your twirls and the way you spun so elegantly made Scaramouche lean in closer on instinct. He was so enraptured and his eyes widened as he kept watching the show. You looked like an angel with the way you moved so flawlessly. You looked really perfect with the way your tutu complimented your figure. You were like a dove on stage. 
Your dancing had drawn the Balladeer in and it felt like he had forgotten the world around him. It felt like he was in a dream where he was able to forget all of his worries. For a moment he was able to forget all the suffering he had endured just by your captivating performance. You were an amazing dancer and Scaramouche was hooked. The puppet became more captivated with each twist and turn of your body. 
Your dancing was like a drug, and he couldn’t get enough of it. He was addicted to that feeling. When he walked back home that day he felt like a whole different person. It wasn’t everyday that someone like himself was impressed. He couldn’t stop thinking about the way you spun so delicately. 
Without even realizing it, Scaramouche found himself showing up to performance after performance. The feeling of forgetting his worries put the harbinger at ease and he was more hooked with each twirl you did.
In one way, you reminded him of the ballerina in a tale he was once told by the small child. But perhaps he was only coming to every one of your shows because he still had a soft spot for his one and only true friend.
Though the harbinger doesn’t talk about it a lot, he will admit that there was once someone who was very special to him back when he was known as Kunikuzushi. He will never forget the special moments he had shared with his one and only true friend, a small child he had met when he first ventured into the world.
The boy always had a smile on his face and seeing him happy made Scaramouche happy too. Him and the child grew an inseparable bond with each other. But even after all of those happy moments filled with joy, he still couldn’t help but feel empty. Like he was missing something.
Sometimes the small child and him would share a cup of tea together and sit down. They would talk about everything, but there was one conversation in particular that stuck out to him even after all the time that had passed.
“...You mean, you wish you had a heart?”
“Mhm.” Kunikuzushi said as he took another sip of his cup of tea. “I’ve always wished I had a heart.”
“You mean like the tale about a puppet soldier and the ballerina?” The small child inquired.
“Huh? I’ve never heard of it. Why don’t you tell me what it’s about?”
The tale was about a puppet soldier who wanted to be with a ballerina. But one day, his owner deemed him useless and threw him into a fire. Then the next day, all that was left was a heart left in the fireplace.
Kunikuzushi couldn’t help but roll his eyes, “It must have been a heart made from ashes.” He took another slurp of his tea. “That kind of thing just doesn't happen in real life, only in legends and old tales.”
“Maybe,” The small child replied. “But what if hearts can be born from ashes?”
The next day, the island had been plagued with tatarigami. Humans that had lived in the area began dying from it and it set everyone into a panic. One day, Kunikuzushi came back with a basket of lavender melons. With an eager smile, he opened the door only for his smile to drop into a horrified expression.
The boy had died.
Kunikuzushi was upset. His only friend and the only person who cared about him was dead. In the fit of rage, he had set everything in the house along with his friend’s body on fire and he watched as it turned into ash.
But there was no heart. It was just ashes.
“What a joke.” A tear rolled down his cheek. “It’s just ashes.”
The only thing that was left in the fire was a small doll that the boy owned. Kunikuzushi picked it up and since then, he has kept it with him. He left the burning house and he never looked back.
In a way, you reminded him of the ballerina in the tale. Perhaps he still has a soft spot for his old friend and that’s why he keeps coming back to watch your performances. Each time, he hugs the small doll tighter and tighter. He wishes that the small boy could have been there with him too. He knows that the small child would have loved your shows.
You reminded him so much of his past. Perhaps by showing up to each one of your dances, he relives his past with only the good memories and not the bad ones.
The Harbinger found himself growing a strange obsession with you. At first, these feelings didn’t make sense to him. He was a puppet with no heart. But maybe he just clings onto you because you remind him of the small boy.
Scaramouche often finds himself calling you,
“My ballerina.”
or
“My heart.”
It’s a habit really. He can’t really snap out of it. 
But as Scaramouche starred up into the night sky after another ending of one of your performances, he couldn’t help but wonder,
Perhaps you had been the heart that he was searching for all this time.

I saw tht ur requests were open and Im sorry but can u make the tf141 as the whole stepbrothers and stepdad? If thats not possible can u make dbf gaz?
-💪
two daddies?
kyle 'gaz' garrick x reader masterlist
⋆ ˚。⋆୨୧˚ sorry but i dont really like writing stepbrother/dad shit!! hope u enjoy though!
kyle is your dads best friend, he has been since kyle joined the military and worked along john, your dad, they clicked and he started inviting kyle over a lot. your birthdays, his birthdays (you said he looked sad so u invited his mates to play) bbqs or just whenever really.
you and him got along well, he was almost always at your house, if your father wasnt in and he came round then youd and him would watch a little movie together.
but that was different to now. you were a minor then and now you are 20. newly 20, last month was your birthday but sadly kyle had missed it due to a big mission he was on. he felt bad and decided to pop round with a gift!
"hiya love"
he gleams as you open the door, "oh hi! my dads not in, hes round at the pub with some girl hes met"
"oo you met her?"
"yeah shes nice" you smile as he takes steps into the house, it was the same apart from a small painting that he wouldve guessed you had painted.
kyle settles down on the couch while you nearly sprint to the kitchen and fix him up his usual. as if you were a barista. his barista. "so the big number 20 huh?" you snap your head around to the direction of the living room, the kitchen was open plan so you could see him sat on the couch, making himself at home when he turns the tv on.
"yeah, last month" you laugh slightly. "'m sorry i missed it" the tv starts playing after he spoke, he had put on an old film you two used to watch loads. it was both your favourite. "its fine, honestly. its not like you couldnt done anything about it" he gribs onto his cup of tea when you give him it, you sit down next to him which then he replies with his arm resting around your shoulders and pulling you in.
the movie intro starts playing as one of the characters start to chat, you gaze at him and look deeply at his features. he had changed a lot since the last time you had saw him. he wasnt shaven clean, his hair was a little longer and he had cuts and wounds littered around his body. another word for him it would be messy but you didnt mind. all honestly he was kinda ... hot.
your focus on the film slowly despatched and then your gaze kept with his face and body for most of it. luckily though he hadnt caught you just yet. the hand placed on your shoulder is brough back to him, he stretches and then instead of going back his hand is connected to your thigh. kyle squashes the fat as he stays there, the squeeze sent heat straight to your pussy. if he was any closer, god you wouldve came!!
"uhm kyle" you mumble quietly.
he looks over at you which his deep, loving brown eyes which made your cunt dampen further. "whats that box for" your eyes are brought to the little while box thats placed on the coffee table. kyle grabs the box and passes it to you, "'s f' you, open it" you smile as he does aswell.
you grasp onto the small box and carefully, unwanting to break it, open it. you place the lid on your lap, right next to his hand that was still holding - more gribbing onto your thigh.
inside the box was a necklace, it was a small heart with your name ingraved on it. the cold silver could freeze your hand as you held it up to the light to clearly see it. "oh my god! thanks kyle!" you hit his arm softly in pure shock he had gotten you something.
"'s no problem. thought youd like it"
"ill be pissed if it was tons though." a faux anger spreads across your face.
"dont worry your sweet little mind bout it"
the film seems to blur out as you look over to him, "help me put it on" his fingers linger on your skin as he helps you clip it on to the other side of the necklace. his warmth of his body could nearly warm you up, you leaned into his touch while you bring your face to him. his pretty eyes almost pull you in and his hand trails to your cheek. both your eyes connect to his and the moment froze. a memory youd always bring back to the start.
the start of something wrong but so fucking good.
as your two lips connect it was pure bliss, his lips were warm and kept coming back to yours. meeting again but casually getting rougher and more passionate. if your father saw this, you both know he would have a raj.
you try to get the moment to tip maybe a bit further, his throat becomes attacked with your tounge. while you think it was going well and he would reciprocate - he didnt, he fliches back. burrying his head in his hands. "i- we cant." he corrects himself, making it known this was both our wrong doing. "what ? why?" pouting before your face plasters a frown and a glint of sadness in your pupils.
"if we start, i wouldnt be able to stop princess."

A/N: Hi, hello, hey. Sorry it's been a minute since I wrote the part one to this! I'm still incredibly excited about this series. Hope you still are too!
Part One │ Taglist Form
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“You look sleepy as hell.” Your co-worker and old college roommate, Annie, smiles at you sympathetically from her desk that sits across from yours.
“Don’t I always?” You chuckle with a half shrug, as you continue logging the files you put back earlier for your bosses. 
You don’t have the most exciting job in the world. You work as a paralegal in your great uncle Robert’s law firm, but it’s really good money. And sure, it could be considered a nepotism hire if you really squint your eyes, but your uncle told you he’d treat you fairly in the hiring process. And he didn’t favor you to any of the other paralegals. At least, not really.
“Yeah, but like… you look especially out of it today.” She offers you a power bar and you shake your head, holding up your own from inside the top drawer.
You nod, drinking your coffee as you click out of excel on your computer. “I am sleepy, though. I had this insane dream last night.” 
Last night played over and over in your head, leaving you with so many questions. The number one being “How?” and what if you weren’t able to go back to that dream again? Why did it feel so real?
“Oooh. A sex dream?” Annie’s sweet smile turns into a smirk and you roll your eyes with a chuckle. “No, Annie. Not a sex dream.” You look at her as you ring your finger around the edge of your mug. 
You kinda wished it had been a sex dream, with the way that Rex had been looking at you. God, you missed him already. That’s not normal, right? How can you miss a fictional character of a show from a dream?
Then, your mind travels to just how real they felt. Like real flesh against your own. Fives’ face… Rex’s hand… Maybe you shouldn’t dwell on it too much. Just accept it for what it was. 
A good dream. Nothing more. 
When you get home from work, you avoid putting on The Clone Wars. It hurts a little to think about them right now. Plus, you’ve got a ton of other things you need to get caught up with. You’ve been putting off laundry for three days, along with vacuuming and dusting your living room. While it’s not an incredibly large space, it’ll still take some time. 
As you gather up the laundry hamper in your room, you can’t help but think about how silly this all feels… Your mind can’t even help but go back to the dream, to Rex’s hands on yours. How warm his skin felt against yours. 
You miss him… 
You miss all of them… 
As you clean, your phone starts to ring. You pull it out of your pocket after dumping a load into the washer, seeing that it's your mom.
“Hi, mom.” You smile. 
“Hi, sweetheart. How was your day?” She asks.
Maybe there was an upside to this whole dream thing. It seems to bring you and your mom a little closer. Although, with her, you’re always waiting for the shoe to drop. Though, maybe this would help. 
“Have you eaten dinner?” She asks.
“I have not. Just started doing some housework, actually.” You reply as you walk to your utility room to grab your duster. 
“Do you want me to come over and cook for you?” She asks.
You’d like to say yes, but you’re really looking forward to at least trying to go to sleep. And since you don’t have work tomorrow, you could sleep extra longer. 
“I would love that, but I’m actually really tired for once. Do you want to get a late lunch tomorrow?” You ask.
“I’d love to!” She seems genuinely happy that you’ve asked her. 
As you go through your house, cleaning a bit, and then make a quick sandwich, you and your mom talk about a lot of things. How your day was, how she’s joined a new book club, how your dad is supposed to be back in town from a long business trip so maybe he’ll join the two of you for lunch tomorrow. It’s just so nice being able to have someone to talk to again. You didn’t exactly have friends lined up at the door. Although, you didn’t exactly try your hardest to make them. Maybe you’ll ask Annie to get drinks over the weekend.
When you finally start to yawn, your mom suggests that you lay down and that she’ll start singing to you again. You definitely don’t put up a fight there. 
Your mom murmurs your name.
“Yeah?” You close your eyes.
“I know I don’t say this a lot, but I love you.” She tells you, softly.
You smile. “I love you too, mom.” 
And then she starts singing.
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singin' in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me
You think of the men that you saw last night, how kind and compassionate they were with you.
Say "Night-ie night" and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
You think of how you need to help them win the Clone Wars. Maybe you alone can make a difference. Maybe they’ll listen to you.
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger 'til dawn, dear
Just saying this
You think of Rex. His vanilla and warm ocean breeze scent. How could a man be so beautiful? How could a smile be so heartstopping? 
Sweet dreams 'til sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams, whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
You open your eyes. But instead of finding yourself on a gunship, or the barracks, you’re on an examination table. 
This can’t be right… 
In a slight panic, you quickly sit up right. 
“Woah, woah. Easy now.” You hear a kind, male voice to your right as his hands steady you. 
You’d know that voice anywhere. Rex. Instant warmth floods your veins at the realization.
“Re- Captain.” You murmur, looking around, realizing you’re on the Umbarran base. 
“I was beginning to get real worried about ya.” He smiles, patting your hand. 
Electricity shoots up your arm as butterflies settle in your stomach. 
“What happened?” You ask, looking at Kix as he approaches you to check your vitals. 
“Well… As soon as I walked away after our chat, you passed out, right there on the tarmac.” He tells you. “I had Kix transport you here with us.”
So, you’re picking up where you left off. Okay. Good. 
“Which I didn’t think was a good idea.” Kix smirks, knowingly at Rex. 
Rex rolls his eyes at his brother. “You passed out right after talking to me, I felt responsible in a way.”
You can’t help but look up at him in awe, a soft smile on both yours and Rex’s lips. He was worried about you twice now. 
“You’ve been out for quite a while.” Kix tells you.
“Missing all the action.” Rex teases and you let out a breathy laugh.
“Sorry, I must’ve just been exhausted.” You tell them. “What did I miss?” 
Rex gives Kix a look and then Kix excuses himself, leaving just you and Rex. He sits on the edge of the exam table, watching your hands before speaking.
He looks up at you. “You were right… About Krell… How did you know?” 
You shrug, not exactly sure what to tell him. It's not like you can just outright tell him the truth, right?
“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.” You murmur.
He puts his hand over yours. “Try me.” 
He’s looking at you so softly again, so full of warmth. And respect. With a sigh, you start to tell him everything, but another clone trooper walks in.
“Sir, the General is requesting your presence in the command tower right away.” The man tells him.
Rex nods once and the other trooper walks back out.
“Will you be alright here?” Rex asks you, still holding your hand. 
You nod. “Yeah.” 
Kix walks back in and starts going through some cabinets.
“Alright.” Rex gives your hand one last squeeze before letting go and you instantly miss his warmth. “I’ll try to swing back by to check on you.” You can’t help but grin at the captain. “That’s sweet of you, but not necessary. I’m fine.” 
To show him that you’re fine, you put your feet down on the floor and walk around the table. You’ve gotta try to stop Krell. You think you might just know the men to help you.
“You’re sure?” Rex looks you up and down, double checking to make sure you actually are alright.
“Positive.” You nod.
“Alright. If you need me-” He starts.
“Yeah, Rex. We know where to find you.” Kix rolls his eyes.
Rex gives Kix a quick glance and then smiles at you once more before leaving the medbay. When you turn toward Kix, he’s got his arms crossed.
“What’s up?” You ask, self-consciously.
“Something’s different about you.” Kix quirks an eyebrow. 
Your stomach drops. “Oh?” 
“You’ve got a thing for Rex, don’t you?” He smirks.
You almost let out a breath of relief. “Ha. You’re funny. I’ll be back. I’m gonna find the freshers.”
“Sure you are.” He teases before turning back around to go through the Umbaran’s medical systems.
You quickly walk down to the barracks, where you remember that Fives, Jesse, Hardcase, and Tup might be. But you have to remember that Dogma is supposed to be there too and he’s going to stick up for Krell, because he thinks that’s the right thing. 
When you reach the barracks, you walk in and find Fives, Jesse, Tup, and Hardcase. Just like you expected.
“She lives!” Fives sees you and immediately starts grinning.
“We really thought you were in a coma.” Hardcase jokes. 
“No we didn’t.” Tup gives Hardcase a funny look and then looks back over at you as you sit down on one of the bunks. 
“Glad to see you’re alright.” Jesse nods with a soft smile. “Shouldn’t you be resting though?”
These men are all just as kind and charming as you’d expected they’d be. It really makes your chest clench at the thought of not being able to help them in some way.
“I needed to speak to you guys.” You tell them. 
They all join around, looking at you with curiosity. 
“This is going to sound crazy… but I need you guys to believe me and then spread the word as quickly as you can, okay?” You look around at them.
“Sure, mesh’la. What is it?” Fives sits down on the bunk across from you. 
Well, here it goes…
“Krell isn’t a good Jedi. I’m sure you’ve figured that out by now, right?” You ask him.
Fives chuckles, humorlessly, glancing at his brothers. “Yeah, you could say that.”
“He’s going to continue the assault on the capital. But what you don’t know is that he’s given the 212th orders to fire at you guys, lying to them and telling them that you’re actually the enemy dressed as clones. He’s going to tell you the same thing.” You tell him, with a face as serious as possible, needing them to believe you. “I know you guys want to take the starfighters and-”
“The assault on the capital will continue as planned.” Rex’s reluctant voice is in the doorway of the barracks and everyone looks from you to him and then back at you. 
“See?” You whisper to Fives. 
“Why would he attack his own men?” Fives whispers quickly.
“Because he hates clones and he’s actually evil.” You stand up to look at Rex.
“So, that’s it?” Jesse walks over to Rex. “We just march into those missiles?”
Rex glances at you curiously but doesn’t say anything more. You give the men a quick serious look and then nod at Rex with a smile before walking back out of the barracks, across the tarmac, and toward the medbay. 
And then you remember Hardcase and him not making it back. So you start jogging back to the barracks, trying to think of a way to keep him alive. 
“Forget something?” Rex asks, walking toward you.
“I just wanted to tell Hardcase something, is all.” You smile. 
“Oh…” Rex murmurs, his expression confused. “I see.” 
And then you realize he thinks that you mean something entirely different. 
“Oh, Rex. No. Not like that.” You laugh.
He smiles softly. “Oh, good.”
“Good indeed.” You glance at the barracks.
“Fives told me what you told them. About Krell… and the clones.” Rex murmurs, glancing around subtly to make sure no one is listening.
“Oh?” You bite your lip, nervously.
“I… think it’s odd. But something is telling me to believe you. So we’ll march on, helmets off, blasters down, so they see it’s us. Alright?” He offers.
You feel a lot better and let out a breath of relief. 
“Earlier, you said ‘I’m someone you trust right?’ and that keeps replaying in my mind. You are someone I trust. Someone I even… admire.” He tells you, stepping a little closer. 
Your heart leaps into your throat and you try so hard to keep your cool. If this is truly a dream… Please don’t wake up right now. 
“I admire you too, Rex.” You smile up at him.
“Is there anything else you need to tell me?” He asks.
“Krell is only pretending to be in the Jedi Order. He still has them fooled… and it’ll be hard to take him down. But, if you get the 212th to tell Kenobi that he tried to put clones against clones-” You start.
All of a sudden, as if on time, there’s a huge blast taking out the hangar bay. 
“Oh shit. Fives!” You run back toward the hangar, forgetting that was supposed to happen.
You really need to focus.
Except Rex pulls you back against the building when he sees Krell heading that way, pushing you up against the building and accidentally pressing his body to yours so that he blocks you from view. Or at least, you think it’s an accident… but you hope otherwise.
You look up at him, parted lips, heat traveling throughout your entire body. He gives a shy half smile and your heart screams “KISS HIM!” but your mind is telling you, you need to find Hardcase.
“Sorry, don’t want you on Krell’s radar.” Rex apologizes, but doesn’t let you go.
You hear Krell start shouting at Hardcase and Fives, breaking you two apart. 
“I better go help them.” Rex pulls away, reluctantly.
“Wait! Tell Hardcase to take the ray shield down in front of the reactors, and if that doesn’t work, try tricking the battle droid into taking the missile toward the reactor. Okay? He’ll know what that means when the time is right.” You squeeze Rex’s hand.
“Alright. But you’re telling me how you know all this, later, right?” He glances down at your lips. 
“I promise.” You reach up and kiss him on the cheek. “Now go.” 
He smirks as he walks away, to go help Hardcase and Fives. You feel like you can breathe a little bit better now. Hopefully, the rest of your plan goes off without a hitch.
And then it kicks in. You just kissed Captain Rex on the cheek... and he liked it! How long had you been wanting to do that? 
You wait a few moments and then see Krell angrily storming off. Rex walks the opposite direction, across the tarmac and you follow him. 
“Perimeter sweep?” You ask, softly, falling into step beside him. 
“I won’t even ask how you knew that.” He chuckles. “But yes.”
“Did you tell Hardcase what I needed to tell him?” You ask, fidgeting with your hands, nervously.
“No, I didn’t get the chance to, I’m sorry.” Rex tells you.
That terrible feeling pools into your stomach and you feel the intense weight of a couple million clones’ lives on your shoulders. 
“Where is he? I need to find him.” You start looking around. 
“Oh, there you are!” Kix calls over to you. 
You don’t have time to deal with Kix though, you have to find Hardcase. You can’t let him sacrifice his life like he did in the show. All they need to do is get the ray shield down. 
“Sorry, I’ve gotta find him.” You start to walk away but Rex stops you.
“Listen, I will find him after my perimeter scan, alright?” He tries to get you to look at him.
“Rex, you don’t understand. They’re leaving soon. If you don’t tell him now, he’s going to die.” You rush out in a panic, barely making sense.
“What?” Rex’s brows furrow. “I-I don’t understand.”
“What’s going on?” Kix approaches, looking at the scene before him.
You probably look crazy with tears in your eyes and yelling about Hardcase. 
“I’ll tell him, okay? I’ll find him-” Rex starts but as he sees three figures coming toward the three of you, he turns you around so you can see them for yourself. “They’re right there. It’s gonna be okay.”
You lean against the 501st captain, letting out a breath of relief for the tenth time tonight. If you weren’t so stressed, you’d definitely enjoy the way he’s holding you upright, making sure you don’t go anywhere. It’s clear he cares about you. 
“Kix, why don’t you take her to get something to eat.” Rex guides you into the hands of Kix but you can’t take your eyes off of the captain and he doesn’t take his eyes off of you. “It’ll be okay, I promise.”
You nod, trusting him, letting Kix lead you back to the medbay to find something to eat, even though you’re not hungry. This is a lot for one person. If you could just get ahold of Mace Windu or Master Yoda somehow… 
“Kix?” You ask, glancing at the command tower. 
“Hm?” He replies. 
It’s too bad that The Bad Batch hasn’t been introduced at this point yet. You could really use Tech’s skill at locating the jamming device that Krell has no doubt planted. 
“Who’s the most technologically inclined in the 501st?” You ask.
He stops to give you a strange look. “See, you’re being weird for real this time. Why are you asking that?” 
“Because… I need to know what sort of jamming device the “enemy” would use to cut off our contact with the 212th.” You shrug. “Who’s the most technologically inclined guy in the 501st?” 
He stares at you hard for a minute. This look says “I know you don’t belong here”, and you realize you’ve fucked up.
Then, he narrows his eyes at you. “You are.”
Well, Shit…

hi again, i’m the guy who requested hobie x trans vigilante reader and i LOVED IT. the details felt so true to his character and all in all it was an amazing read. you’re definitely one of, if not my favorite spiderverse writer. (btw, your spidersona sounds very interesting.) so, as expected, i have another request for you!
if you’d like, will you do a hobie x masc reader where they’re in bands? of course, hobie would be a part of a punk group, but maybe reader is in a metal one? they keep running into each other at shows and people think they might not get along, but they instantly get comfortable around each other. it’d be cute if they wore the other’s merch and showed up to some gigs. thank you :)
hobie’s punk, you’re metal (band edition)
hobie brown x masc!reader
EYYYYYYY ANON
had me gripping my knee, tucking hair behind my ear and kicking my feet fr ily tysm - if you’re planning to keep coming back (more than welcome <3) feel free to give me some kinda name to call you ! claim an emoji if you’d like or give me some kinda alias if you’d like, or remain anon, completely up to you !!
anyway such a slay idea thank you so much !
i’m gonna have to be a little brief w details cause i know hobie’s band is completely different in the comics and i have no fuckin clue what’s going on w this hobie’s band, no clue if gwen’s the drummer or what so mans being BRIEF but as far as i’m aware hobie does all of his gigs as “spider-punk” so secret identity still stands. i’m not gonna call him that cause he doesn’t like the name, but you know what i’m tryna insinuate
i’m a guy who can listen to all types of music so i enjoyed indulging in punk and metal music to get a better feel for this, so thank you !
i tried to do research into style, music and history so i hope this is half decent lmao
also wanna stress that i know there’s a shit ton of political stuff when it comes to punk and metal scenes, i ain’t touching it and i want none of you to ask me about it
warnings: none
pairing: hobie brown x masc!reader
requests: OPEN actually begging for them im stuck in a car tomorrow
Tumblr media
★⋆ ⋆☆⋆ ☠︎︎ ⋆☆⋆⋆★✧
AIGHT ! so you twos both belong to bands that are pretty prominent in london, and if someone doesn’t know one then they’ll eventually learn about the other
you both like to perform at these smaller gigs instead of going mainstream, and it results in you two bumping shoulders every now and again
now, it’s impossible to miss hobie since he’s dressed as a punk spider-man
the same can apply to you if you choose to also have a secret identity lmao
but it’s on sight
it’s a common thing for people to think that punk and metal fans are like cats and dogs (an expression, animals are lovely.) for some fuckin reason
so naturally, both of your fans had always speculated the day that you crossed paths
what would you do ? fist fight ? poke hobie’s eyes out w the 🤘 gesture ? dear god will hobie swing his guitar at you ?!?!
no lmao
it’s like two old friends meeting, you guys have definitely heard of each other before but not yet met, so you’re both pretty psyched to see each other in the flesh !
it’s more like a “Ayy! my guy!” kinda thing instead of typical london stabbing
friendly hug, accidentally get impaled on a spike, that kinda thing
if your fans are sane they’re just kinda like “oh dope lmao” instead of “NOOOOOOOO” because who tf would
instead, opens doors to unlimited possibilities
friendly rivalry ? i think so
depending on what you play/your role in the band, you can get competitive for funsies
if you’re both guitarists you’ve got this ongoing joke about who’s the better one, shows are dope whenever you two are competing cause you go above and beyond for the sake of bragging rights
you win, metal takes a lot more out of a man (from the research i’ve done metal takes more “skill” in a literal sense, way more going on w the cords, correct me if i’m wrong)
hobie insists there are no losers, of course (he doesn’t believe in losing)
hella friendly banter, nudges, cutely whiplashing each other w water at shows whenever you spot the other in a crowd while they’re performing
collaboration ? possibly, imagine that shit
speculation of you two dating ? no because hobie doesn’t like labels
i’m gonna let u decide if hobie is the typa guy to kiss whoever else is on stage w him
back to secret identities for a little- aight so we all know hobie’s identity is a secret because he’s this spider-lad saving london, a conversation starter fr
in the events that you bring it up, he’ll probably just brush it off and tell you to focus on your scene, not in a mean condescending way but because he’d rather talk about music together since it’s his passion
depending on where your guys’ relationship goes determined if he’d reveal his secret identity to you or not, same applies to you if you have a secret identity
but i’ll leave that up to you
back to the gigs ! if you two ever spot each other in the crowds, it’s on sight
wether you recognise each other as your alter egos or secret identities, you will be either drowned by the end of the gig or mercilessly stared at
don’t think hobie would bring people up on stage unless you’re both performing, it can be a super awkward thing, other people might be uncomfortable and also favouritism aint his thing
wear each others merch, see what happens
you don’t have a secret identity and you wear it casually ? will likely catch the eyes of the media and words will spread
i cant actually imagine hobie having official merch, i think he’d like it more if his fans just made things so there’s not that whole “poser” stuff i’ve been seeing (again if i’m wrong and band shirts have significance other than sentimental value let me know)
punk is about diy, so he’d love his fans all the more if the “merch” he had was super unique diy stuff all hand made by his fans :]
so hobie either makes you merch, or you make your own ! he’ll probably make his own merch of you band, too
absolutely wears it to gigs, why wouldn’t he ? how fuckin punk is that ammarite
trade guitar picks, do it
you’re both real comfortable around each other, it’s an honest treat to cross paths whenever you’re both at a gig and if you guys become friends outside of it, that’s all the better
slaps stickers on your instruments case while walking by you, they have accumulated overtime
a lot of friendly call outs at the start or throughout shows, shit like “this one goes out to y/n, he ate my fuckin sandwich” before playing or probably banter along the lines of “refund his show and come to mine instead, it just makes sense” if your shows aren’t free
i expect you to do the same
you are each others worse nightmare

My pitch for the community movie is that it is centered on a wedding, specifically Abed’s wedding. The catch is no one knows who he's marrying. Abed uses a Mr. Big style nickname, so the group has no clue who this person is. The whole movie could be about getting the gang back together for Abed’s wedding day. The two main plots are the gang trying to locate Troy so he can be Abed's best man and the gang trying to work out who Abed is marrying so they can do the whole shovel talk with them. This would be a great way to bring in a ton of fan-favorite characters without having to set it at Greendale since they’re all here for the wedding.
 Along with this, it could kinda push the whole Abed fucks thing, since the group could discover that back in Greendale Abed really got around a lot more than the thought (hell maybe throw in a joke that he and white Abed actually slept together). The group would then come to believe that Rachel is the person Abed is marrying and after falling to locate Troy and some type of fight happening due to the group trying to give Rachel the shovel talk (even if I don’t really like the trope of “Long term friends finding out that they never really understood/knew each other” could work really well here) 
The gang including Pierce’s Energon pod (shove a bow tie on that pod) comes together to make Abed’s wedding memorable and prove that they do value their friendship; Jeff and Britta try to see  who can throw Abed the best Bachelor party, Annie falling into the wedding planner role and fighting with the actual wedding planner, something happening with the baker so Shirley steps up to make the wedding cake stuff like that. 
As they are seated for the ceremony we find out that Rachel is the best man (maybe they made a successful sitcom together? and worked out they work better as friends) and of course, the other groom is Troy (and him hiding from the group was his way of bringing the group back together as his wedding gift to Abed was a reunion episode)  At the reception warp up any major storylines ie Jeff and Annie or Jeff and the Dean. Jeff gives a toast and makes the Jeff Winger Speech to end all Jeff Winger Speeches. It's a party and everyone is having a great time. 
Then cut to a quiet moment between Troy and Abed, Abed thanking Troy for this reunion episode even if he thinks it's more like a movie, (If you wanted to make it bittersweet you could do an whole speech about how Abed is okay with this potential being a one of reunion since that what makes it special and sometimes people ((tv shows)) are just the friends you need at that point in your life and you can have years of laughter and joy from those friends but even if you outgrow/end those friendship ((TV shows ending natural or being canceled)) it doesn’t ruined the time you had together and sometimes bring those friendship back can taint the original memories ((needlessly rebooting tv show past their prime)) it okay to miss those friends but it's impotent to move on, we can value those old friend while still making new and different friends,((find new shows with new ideas that we love, that doesn’t mean we like the other shows any less)) that just a part of life) 
 Abed gives Troy his gift, it's a film script Rachel and him are working on about a group of misfits who come together to save their community college from an all powerful evil and on it there is a note that says “write with us?” with Abed asking Troy to join them in writing it since the script needs heart and Troy has the biggest heart out of anyone he’s ever met. He agrees and we get a Troy cries/handshake/kiss moment. It ends with a group hugging and the cast dancing to Roxanne or the opening theme in a cute post-credit bit (in or out of character)

You talked a little while ago about why you don't think Shidou would make a good father to Amane (agreed) and proposed the idea of Mahiru adopting Amane. That's cute but I want to tell you about my post-MILGRAM headcanon:
Amane joins the Kajiyamas
Not Fuuta specifically adopting her, but like him taking her back to his family's house. I'm sure they'd have a spare room
I think people don't think about Fuuta's homelife much, or if they do they take Fuuta's one interrogation question where he calls his dad an old fogey and assume its like, abusive
And don't get me wrong, I don't think the Kajiyama household are perfect. Fuuta' beautician sister surely hasn't helped when it comes to Fuuta's body image issues and I'm betting they're all a bunch of tsunderes too embarrassed to say they love each other
But in a series where most of the abused characters are still convinced their abuser loved them/acted out of love. Seeing a guy not be afraid to call his dad a loser is almost a green flag
I think it'd be good for Amane to not necessarily be adopted as the lone child to a single parent but get to be introduced to a very different style of family unit from her own One where its normal to express different opinions or disagreements or even have arguments and not have it be the end of the world
Amane already has a snarky side to her, I bet it'd flourish in a brash household like the Kajiyama's (or at least how I imagine them to be)
OOHHH wait I love that so much! >:O
I agree -- I never interpreted Fuuta's family as abusive or harmful, just not super close and struggling a bit after his mother left. (And yeah, all as openly emotional as him😭) They seem stable and very capable to taking in a extra, very well-behaved child. Assuming Fuuta is the way he is because of them, that atmosphere of being very honest and forward would work well for her. They say things as they are, little by little pointing out the harmful parts of her worldview. Like you said, none of them make excuses about harmful behavior stemming from love, so she'd get a really healthy dose of truth in that area. She never feels coddled or treated like a baby. They care for her while treating her very maturely.
I absolutely love how well she and Fuuta get along, with that snarky side to her that you mentioned. It would allow her to fit in well in the new household, getting the sense of belonging she'll lose after leaving the cult. Also, seeing how Fuuta and his sister let things slip and aren't perfect sons/daughters, she'll be able to relax about earning a parent's love through perfect behavior. She'll probably stay exactly the same, but her stress about it will fade <3
I doubt Fuuta's father can ever replace the hole she'll have from her own father, but the addition of an older sister will be huge. Amane will never get the feeling her mother is being replaced, but the woman will still fill the gap of the older, same-gender role model she needs. Her beautician job may throw Amane at first (being an indulgence in vanity), but it isn't as in-your-face as other careers. I think she could definitely ease Amane into accepting it, and over time, accepting her own personal "indulgence."
Plus, her moving in would also be really good for Fuuta! I think he'd recognize there's a ton of fun things she missed out on, and that heroic side of him outweighs the part that cringes: he gripes and groans about going to "kid places," but he's always the one to announce "I can't believe you've never been to __, we're going right now!!" This allows him to touch grass leave the house and experience his own life to the fullest. He's able to channel his desire to help society into a healthier outlet. Also, seeing her studying habits and plans for the future might even inspire him to do the same. (might.) He becomes the stereotypical good big brother, though of course he denies it viciously...
I have recently been going insane over their friendship so I'm completely taken with this idea OUGH thank you for telling me ;-----;

feeling much better now having gotten some sleep (the dont trust how you feel about yourself past 9pm is good advice no joke)
of course all my criticism of totk still applies but im feeling less depressed about it, tho i will say its honestly kinda baffling how many times the game actually got me interested and excited about stuff and then just kinda drops it in a dead end, of course they were those kind of things in botw as well but it seems much less .. balanced in totk
(not even just the big things like making me want to actively do something to help zelda turn back when it just gets solved on its own in the end, but also some lil things like the fact that so many NPCs tell you about that newly discovered animal species and when you find the dongos they are just gem vending maschines)
in the end i can say, no, i dont like totk, tho i still love the graphics and the way the world is made ( botw showed me jsut how immersive and alive a world can feel i love it to death), i liked the gameplay and that it kept the freedom botw had established, the bossfights are mostly fun (tho i wish you could refight more of them), i LOVE the yiga and im glad they got more of a spotlight, the music is FANTASTIC i keep catching myself humming along, alot of the sidequests are much bigger and feel like you are actually doing something, i like how the sages are a bit more integrated into the story, the majority of the new designs are great, both the japanese and german voice acting is great, and the end fight has some of the best build up i have ever experienced, my heart starts to race when that music build up starts even tho i have beaten it 3 times already-
however, the story is both simple and incredible flat with lots of stuff that doesnt make sense especially when it was said to be a sequel, the zonau should have stayed a mystery imo, they failed to make me care about them even a little bit and often felt forcefully crammed into the world and its history, i think you could have told an incredible story taking place in the present and leave the past be the past, you easily could have connected botw and totk in a much better way than they did, i dont like how it changes aspects about botw all the while nigh ignoring it ever happened, it still feels like it was trying to be a replacement and not a sequel and all the referencing and callbacks to the old titles may have been done in good faith but that and including time travel yet again ultimately lead to people ripping each other to shreds over trying to prove its placed in the old timeline despite it making no sense at all and confusing people even more; often when the game made me care or be excited about something it was dropped in a dead end, there was a ton of missed opportunities and lost potential to tell a much more nuanced and interesting story/lore, and thinking about it only makes me sad for the things that could have been
overall i think my disappointment is outweighing my fun and the only way i can keep playing it while having fun is ignoring everything that isnt, which works quite well most of the time since im pretty much done with all story stuff but i keep slipping into my little rants nonetheless; i will say its making me a little worried about the future of the franchise, but i know im in the minority and maybe i will just have to accept that the new stuff wont be for me anymore and i should not hope for anything that interests me xD
except for some meme material or specific characters i love i dont think i will make much use of anything totk tried to establish, and i hope thats fine with the lot of you (<3) hopefully that also means my ranting days are over xD
anyway, back to making niche art i go! (sorry for making you endure these long ass rambling posts :,) )

I’m sorry if this is bothersome, but I am interested in learning how to make GIFs. Could you possibly nudge me in the right direction on how to do so? And, again, I’m sorry if this is an annoying ask, I’m just genuinely curious.
hello sweet friend! this isn't an annoying ask at all! i'm so happy you reached out and i'm more than happy to share some resources + tips that helped me start on my own gif making journey!
lots of info + babbling below the cut!
first, THIS is the initial tutorial i used to get started. you will need Photoshop (or an equivalent, though i will admit i'm not familiar with the other applications) and a computer - and that's pretty much it! i know it can seem overwhelming at first because it's so much information but i promise this tutorial has absolutely everything you'll need and is laid out in a really straightforward way!
second, if you're planning on using the video import method as opposed to screencapping, like i do, you'll need video files. i don't know how to use websites like MEGA or any other file downloader so i got all my videos from THIS youtube channel (which i feel most everyone in the gallavich fandom is already familiar with, lmao) - but the quality is still really really good! 1080p should be all you need. you can either download an application to your computer that converts the files via URL or you can use a website (THIS one is really good) OR you can do what i do sometimes when i realize i'm missing a scene (because some videos that are age restricted [see: dock scene] often won't be convertible via applications and websites) which is screen record on your computer or phone and then plop the file wherever you need it - whatever works best for you!
third, when it comes to adjustments, coloring, editing, etc. it's going to take a lot of trial and error but you WILL get there! my favorite adjustments are: curves, levels, hue/saturation, color balance, selective color, vibrance, and sometimes black & white. my favorite filters are the smart sharpen feature and noise.
for SMART SHARPEN my settings are:
amount: 500%, radius: 0.4px, reduce noise: 10%, remove: gaussian blur
THEN a second adjustment using:
amount: 10%, radius: 10px, reduce noise: 10%, remove: gaussian blur
then for NOISE i usually add 4% noise, uniform, monochromatic! admittedly i just recently started using this filter but i think i've found my sweet spot! feel free to play around with this one. for example, black & white with high level noise gives old movie vibes - experiment, experiment, experiment!
HERE is a link to the BBC coder for colored text for captions
HERE is a link to a website where you can get a ton of free PNG files for overlays and funky edits - just make sure you put "PNG" after your search terms!
i also have a bunch of bookmarked links to various gif maker's resource pages that have been helpful to me in the past - if you'd like them please just DM me and i can send you some links!
finally, do you know about the Shameless Creator's Network? we're a network of digital creators for shameless; all characters, all seasons, all experience levels! if you're on Discord, we have a server where we have channels dedicated to just this: learning, growing, inspiring! HERE is an invite link and HERE is our blog!
otherwise, if you have any other questions or need help along the way, PLEASE don't hesitate to reach out to me via asks or DM - i am MORE than happy to help! i love seeing people learn a new craft and if i can assist at all with that then i absolutely will!

ABL! You are making a linguistics nerd out of me. In Ghost Host Ghost House, Kawin asks Pluem to use "I" and "you" and they have the most adorable little negotiation/settling in conversation around it. It made me so happy and I don't know why. What are your thoughts on BL utilising English particles like this? Has it been done before? What kind of weight does it hold for the characters and their relationship?
I am delighted to have influence in a linguistic way (especially in a Thai language direction). Somebody else mentioned this incident, and I'm embarrassed to say I missed it.
Tumblr media
I will say that characters talking in English always has some kind of significance in a BL. Although Kewin having lived in the United States does make a difference in this particular instance.
English Language as a Narrative Trope in BL 
English tends to indicate a certain amount of modernity and youthful connection. Because it often requires higher education, speaking English can have class and money implications. I think that Cake’s use of English in the sex scene in My Only 12% is saying something along these lines. 
(In a place like Taiwan however, everyone under a certain age is expected to have some grasp of English, so it's more simply established unless it’s used A LOT. The bartender’s use of English all the time in My Tooth Your Love clearly is somewhat more significant than normal for Taiwan.) 
Tumblr media
With Kawin asks Pluem in Ghost Host, Ghost House I think part of the implication is that Kawin would like them to be more queer or gay in the global understanding of such terms than they are as a couple under the tie restrictions of Thailand’s formality of language. (He’s also younger so he wants to age up as equals in the relationship.) 
The switch to and use of American pronouns instead of Thai ones, carries a ton of weight in terms of an implied equal footing within the relationship and moving away from age restrictions and age dynamics. 
Tumblr media
This, in turn, allow him more freedom and agency in terms of their sex scenes. As the implied uke this narrative, he should be more blushing maiden and les proactive and interested in sex. But this narrative just allows him to be himself about the whole situation, and I think in part this negotiation was to give him a certain level of intimacy and autonomy as an agent in his own sexual destiny.
Their using English pronouns to bypass a socially establish pattern of behavior that has been imposed by the pre-existing history of the culture around those pronouns. As such it says A LOT about how these two see each other and their relationship (as equals, but also as modern representative of gayness). 
Tumblr media
Well it turns out I had a lot to say about that. I better update that old post.

just an assortment of random thoughts i haven't yet expressed on here:
aside from the fact that idk why they felt the need to name the village, them naming the village gives the impression that it's just one village. rather then, you know, all that's left from the southern water tribe
also, it's much larger. and there are other teenagers in it.
my bf had to pause and yell for five minutes about comedic timing because of the scene with sokka and the toddlers. he was right of course but it still hurt
the joke wouldn't have landed anyway because they're not even toddlers
why does everyone take sokka seriously in this show. does his arc mean nothing to you (i know the answer is yes)
this isn't katara i'm not going to dwell on that. it's simply an entirely separate character. there's not even a point in trying to analyze this. another win for misogyny
another thing that made my partner endlessly angry was how katara simply cant waterbend in the first scene, then successfully breaks the fucking iceberg without even being angry or anything, then goes back to not being able to bend.
so many men explain bending to katara in this. im not going to dwell on it there's no point
sokka and the ideal of masculinity get along just fine. he is in fact the ideal of masculinity. not like that was a core theme of his original character or anything
something to be said at how desperately they're trying to make all the characters as likeable as they can. i could smell these 40 year old writers sweat through my screen and i didn't like it
it's also not working because they have no idea who these characters are or what made them good characters
ozai is stupid
i'm actually going to argue that every change they made here was for the worst. all of them. zuko being conscious and talking to aang? bad. the crew being the 41st division? bad. twink jee? bad.
the thing about the 41st division was that zuko didn't manage to save them. they did die. for a show that wants to be "darker" you sure missed some of the more tragic elements of the original
speaking of which, the only moments that actually made me feel something were zuko's scenes (and sometimes iroh's). dallas liu you're a legend and an icon
katara actively killed kya ok yeah sure this makes sense
the spirit world has a thing for sokka. sokka in particular. it's funny. one might even argue that it's narratively significant. you know what never mind
they're not planning ahead At All. they took some of the most essential moments from later seasons and just threw them at us in season one. the later episodes are not going to make sense. i hope they don't get to make them regardless.
why are they going back to omashu??? sure within the internal logic of the show it makes sense, but narratively, why???? you already did the secret tunnel. mai and ty lee were already introduced. what's left of season 2's omashu episode? doesn't matter i hope they don't make it
i cannot stress enough how nothing in season 2 is going to make sense. azula is already here. zuko has already had a ton of character development. even ozai himself wasn't supposed to be here. season 1's villain is zhao!!! he's the only one we see on screen, he's the only one the characters interact with!!! it's zuko and it's zhao and that's it!!!! you're not supposed to have the whole backstory!!!! you're not supposed to know the rest of them!!! that's what makes seasons 2 and 3 work!!!!! is this just going to be 3 seasons of the same characters fighting each other???
ozai's strategy doesn't work. if you send all your forces to the north who is going to attack omashu? are you implying this was made easier because omashu's army was fighting with the north? they weren't. we saw it we were there. are you implying conquering omashu would have been impossible on a different day because the nwt would have helped them? that literally make no sense, we know it wouldn't happen. all you did was cut your military in half.
i literally forgot momo was there
why is hahn nice. why. explain this to me.
stop setting up stories about the rest of the avatars. we don't care. also did bryke even give you the rights to those
it's really ambitious considering they're failing so hard at making the one season of the one show they needed to make
episode 6 was awful stop gaslighting me
i really hate lok did you guys know. it would sure be fun if they stopped using worldbuilding elements from lok
in a way this is lok. maybe in a way we're all lok
the real avatar was the friends we didn't make along the way

I have a LOT of questions about the newest ep of Fionna and Cake. Mainly the farm world ep and farm world in general.
OK so, assuming this is the farm world from Adventure Time, there are a TON of things that don't add up. Here are my questions.
First off, there are a bunch of characters that exist in farm world that don't seem to exist in the land of Ooo. Mainly the Destiny Gang and family. But also the majority of bg characters, they don't seem to have Ooo counterparts.
Expanding on that, why do only SOME characters exist in farmworld and Ooo? Just off the top of my head I know we see Choose Goose (Bruce now), Jake, and Wildberry Princess in the newest fionna and cake ep. But in the original Adventure Time episode we also see Simon (deceased) and Marcy. Those are the only characters I know of that we see. This could be explained by saying that magic doesn't exist in farm world but it still should. Finn only wished The Lich out of existence, there should still be elemental magic but we don't see any of our elemental characters. And why not have non magic counterparts like in normal Fionna world? Why is it only some characters? It can't be just the non magic ones bc we see normal versions of magic characters.
Why does this farm world seem post-apocalyptic? Finn wished Ice Finn to go back to normal and the crown was removed from farm world. I think there are at least 2 farm worlds, one where Farm Finn became evil from the crown and another where it never existed. When the crown was removed this could've also removed the ice keeping the mushroom bomb from exploding which would explain why this farm world seems post apocalyptic. But even if Farm Finn did keep the crown, we know that the Mushroom Bomb already went off. Either way, the great mushroom bomb SHOULD have gone off but we see the same characters still alive. So the mushroom bomb must have been removed from the equation for them to all still be alive, we see a crater where the bomb was but if it did go off, that area should be radioactive and all of the farmworld ogs should be dead. Why is this world so messy and post-apocalyptic? It doesn't add up
We see a farm world version of Marceline in the farm world shown in Adventure Time, but for some reason, she's old. This makes no sense. Marceline doesn't age in Ooo because she's part demon part vamp, so do these not exist in farmworld? The only difference farm world SHOULD have with Ooo is that The Lich never (even ever) existed, but this shouldn't apply to other magic as well. The comets, elements, GOLB and the other primordials, and relics (like the crown) should all still exist. Hunson Abadeer should still exist as he is either a demon or a primordial monster (seen in The Lichs flashback along with Coconteppi and Orgalorg while scaring King of Ooo and Toronto) But the point is, why is ALL magic gone except for the crown in farmworld when only The Lich should be missing. Could the Lich control all magic? He is the oldest scholar of GOLB, maybe even older and above the primordial monsters and elements? Its also weird that Jake isnt magic in farmworld, we know Ooo Jake gets his powers from being a spawn of Warren Ampersand who is either a primordial monster or the same species as one of these monsters (seen in The Licks flashback) But that makes Prismo stronger than The Lich (since he was able to wish him out of existence) and in turn all the primordial monsters, but weaker than GOLB as he was not able to bring Betty back (or maybe he just can't bring people back from the dead? Since he couldn't bring Margles back either) it's weird.
Why does Finn still name his daughter Bonnibel in farmworld if PB doesn't exist in farmworld? Is she still there but not shown? Are all Finns destined to have children named after Bonnie and Jake? (Pillow Finn did) Did the name just come to him as a weird cosmic communication coincidence?
Why do we see a scarecrow of Ice Finn if the crown doesn't exist in farmworld? Do people just remember when Finn was briefly Ice Finn? And why isn't Finn insane from the crown? It affected him long enough for him to start changing so shouldn't it have made him insane?
Farm world is really weird and I have lots of questions. Lmk what you guys think.

This week, we have eight fics that deal with grieving. Check them out under the cut, and comment and kudos if you like them!
Falling Stars by Crewe (3897,Teen) Warnings: A thoughtful, heartfelt look at the way grief can fall on you like a ton of bricks and also wait around the corner to whack you in the teeth with a rock when you're not prepared - but it ends in warmth and broken things on the path to mending. Pairings: Scanlan Shorthalt & Vax'ildanScanlan, Shorthalt & Vex'ahlia
Scanlan has a plan to save Vax. He doesn't. Now he has to say good-bye.
Reccer says: I liked it

Keyleth grives for Vax and tries to put her life back together, while hiding her unexpected pregnancy from the rest of Vox Machina. Written before the Vilya reveal, so also touches upon the impact of her death on her loved ones, as well as how Vax's death effects Gilmore and his relationship with Kiki.
Reccer says: I liked it
Tumblr media
miss you indefinite by gayvincreel (1618,Teen) Warnings: past character death Pairings: Essek Thelyss & Keyleth, mentions of vaxleth and shadowgast
Keyleth meets Essek at Kima's funeral, and they talk about all their loved ones who have passed away.
Reccer says: cross-campaign fics are always fun. i really like the dialogue in this one and how it really puts into perspective the pain that can come from being longer-lived than your friends
Tumblr media
what the promised land would promise me by grayintogreen (3169,Teen) Warnings: Pairings: Lucien & The Tombtakers
The Intuit Charge Massacre from the other side.

Caduceus can see ghosts. He uses this ability to comfort the M9 members who have lost loved ones.
Reccer says: it's a very cool concept, and i love that he can also use the absence of a ghost to confirm that someone is still alive. this fic has a sort of gentle angst to it and then catharsis with every conversation caduceus has with the others.
Tumblr media
in the dream we are always posthumous by hanap (4219,Teen) Warnings: Grief, Angst, Sharing a Body Pairings: Kingsley & Mollymauk & Lucien
In which Kingsley wakes up and discovers that he isn't his body's only occupant.

Setting Up Stones On a High Hill Side by Senor_Sparklefingers (11140,Teen) Warnings: None Pairings:
In the aftermath of the release of Uk'otoa, Kingsley loses a friend, makes a visit to the Blooming Grove, and says goodbye.
Reccer 1 says: This is part of an ongoing series about Kingsley in the aftermath of the CR2 finale but you don't need to have read the first to enjoy this one. I love stories that commit to the fact that Kingsley is just as much Lucien as he is Molly and Lucien's side of things has a lot to grieve. Reccer 2 says: There's a lot of stories that touch on Kingsley dealing with things from Molly's past or struggling with memories inherited from Molly, but not that many that deal with things related to Lucien, so it's a nice change to see that. Plus, anything that touches on the Cad and King friendship is nice.

01. the character everyone gets wrong
sandy from grease and i will die on this hill. “oh, sandy changed herself for a man-” and danny was trying to change himself for a woman, but people only remember sandy doing it because of the leather pants!
what i think people tend to ignore, or miss, is that by the point of the “sandra dee” reprise, sandy is not happy. like, even if you are willing to accept that sandy *was* happy as the good girl, once - and i fully am willing to accept that; i do not think a fondness for cheerleading and pastels speaks to a void in her soul - by that time, she is not! and it is not just because of danny being kind of a dick to her. there’s a *reason* sandy’s change starts with a reprise of rizzo’s song that was mocking her, and it is because pretty much everyone, bar frenchy, is a dick to her. (i feel like this is a little less apparent in the movie, but in the original production, the t-birds are right there cackling along with rizzo during “look at me, i’m sandra dee,” and even patty simcox gets catty about sandy behind her back!)
so, by this point, sandy is alienated, and lonely, and an object of mockery, and she wants things to be *different*. here’s another point that got home better onstage than in the movie, in my opinion - because, originally, the “sandra dee” reprise comes RIGHT ON THE HEELS of “there are worse things i can do” - and rizzo sings that song, not alone after sandy walks off, but directly *to* sandy. just before the song, rizzo snaps at her, “now wait just a minute, miss goody-goody! who do you think you are? handing me all this sympathy trash! since you know all the answers, how come i didn’t see zuko here tonight?” and all this after sandy has done nothing but show riz a little kindness and sympathy over her situation, and try to remind her that she does not have to go through it alone.
being a good girl, a nice girl, has gotten sandy nothing and nowhere, with anyone, for the whole two hours’ traffic of our stage. who can really blame her for wanting to change?
now, obviously, this is all pretty watsonian, and sandy is one of those characters where there’s tons of great discussion to be had about the ways misogyny *does* influence the way her story is presented. but there are a lot of other interesting things to unpack in her, too, and it frustrates me that everyone just stops at the most obvious part.
03. screenshot or description of the worst take you’ve seen on tumblr
gods, just one?! mentally rifling through the disney princess takes alone has already exhausted me. that said, i might have to hand it to one of the particularly devoted ambassadors of this website’s jedi defense squad, who insisted that the jedi were A Beautiful Culture requiring no reform whatsoever, and A Wonderful Found Family to the children they brought up, and Committed No Mistakes.
like, come on, now. even if i leave all my personal religious baggage at the door, there are nine movies and a massive extended universe because THE JEDI FREQUENTLY COMMIT MISTAKES. anakin skywalker was not an inherently rancid nine-year-old; he was a case study among many on why the jedi needed fixing!
19. you’re mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like…
i’m kind of mad that i still like frozen as much as i do. it wounds my pride in otherwise being the haughty and pretentious flavor of disney adult.
i’m not mad that i am properly getting into ASOIAF, because i am loving these books. i *am* mad that the only reason i first put on my clown shoes and walked all the way to westeros in them is because rhys ifans hot. it’s almost as embarrassing as the number of times i’ve watched anonymous.
but the really embarrassing skeleton in my closet is that i have written more pages of HP drawerfic since i started listening to the shrieking shack podcast than i wrote any fic for it at the height of the fandom way back in ye olde FFN/livejournal days. and that’s terrible.

how'd the punks meet?
Oh, I actually made a long post about this, it's fun! let me translate it!
...
Marcos and Florencia have known each other since teens and they were always a constant in the bioclub (ORIGINAL MEMBERS). Marcos asked Florencia out shortly after meeting her. Florencia is a lesbian. To this day, Florencia NEVER loses an opportunity to laugh at that.
Marcos met Ariel when his biosuite broke down and he got the tip Ariel was good with that kind of machines. Marcos used his powers of Having Patience With The IT Guy. Ariel automatically declared him the First Non-Pelotudo Costumer he ever had: they've been friends ever since. Soon after Ariel joined the club, he found plenty to do fixing the club's old machines and/or cebando mates on the weekends.
Ariel and Melanie se conocieron, bailando en un bar... Any story they've had is deliberately ambiguous and you're not gonna get it from them. But Melanie sometimes spends more time at Ariel's workshop than at her house. And Ariel never misses Kawaii Anime Night at Melanie's. The funny thing is that Melanie supposedly "joined" the club with Ariel, although she had already participated a couple of times as a teen (Marcos and Florencia don't even remember her, because Melanie didn't have uwu neko ears then, but she INSISTS she appears in the background of the photos)
Pancho arrived at the club to rest after a long day of walking in Buenos Aires (bioclubs have pools for cetacean members, making them very popular with them). Melanie and the others approached him curiously. Pancho told them about Wittgenstein's theories of language and about Marxism in relation to the Moreau liberation movements. They got him into the club that same week, how could you not?
Marina is an exchange student from Brazil. When she was a teen she had participated in a bioclub in Fortaleza but only occasionally, so now that she lived in Argentina, she decided to try again. The first to greet her Marcos, and they spent a whole day talking about the space programs of Argentina and Brazil (forgetting about everyone else present). After a metric ton of cargadas from the others, Marcos invited her to the club and she didn't even hesitate, perhaps the coolest decision she made since she arrived in Argentina.
Paola met Florencia (her girlfriend) at an applied Neopaleontology convention. They had a heated argument about whether or not it's ethical to revive dinosaurs. Obviously, after that, they started dating, and they've been together for several years now. Paola is not part of the club and she thinks Florencia's friends are all weirdoes, but she plays D&D with everyone from time to time. Marcos wishes she would just pay her membership, she spends all day there anyways.
Everyone already knows Marcos' brother, Martín, because he always calls them when he's out on patrol to make sure they aren't making a bioweapon or somthing. Marcos loves him like a little brother loves his old bro, that is, a mixture of disdain and ride-or-die. Biopunks in general never get along with genedarmes, but Melanie admits that she unfortunately likes guys in uniform. Everyone loves Fito, the Genedarme Dog, because he is Fito, the Genedarme Dog.
Lucía is a student of Winogrodzki. Lucía now teaches at the UBA and Winogrodzki is the god of bioengineering and is basically everywhere, but the two are the club's administrators: Winogrodzki for his vocation for youth, Lucía for the resume experience. Many have come and gone: Winogrodzki was a member of the club in the heyday of biopunk before the Ecocide. Since then, the Marcos & Co. group has been the most constant he has ever had.
Maximiliano was also a student of Winogrodzki and Lucía's bioclub partner. But life took him down another path, and he is now the administrator of Recursos Cósmicos Fiscales, the Argentine space mining agency. He still has contact with his teacher and his old club mate sometimes.
There are more characters, and they each have friends (romances maybe?) from outside the club who show up occasionally (and their families, too, obviously), but they're still not fully fleshed out.
