#also in literally the most hilarious coincidence ever

[chirpsythismorning]

I'm sorry but, I really don't know how anyone can still believe with full confidence that Mike is straight after the airport scene.

It's arguably the most blatant, yet overlooked scene between these three characters, specifically Mike's dynamic with El vs. Mike's dynamic with Will.

Although Mike shows up in sunglasses, I highly doubt he wore them the entire flight. This means Mike probably put on the sunglasses to go from the plane, through the Passenger Boarding Bridge, and directly to the gate entrance where they were waiting for him, all of which are indoors.

Yes, it's sunny in California, and that's what makes this such a good excuse (alibi) for Mike.

Now could this just be a coincidence? Yes, it definitely could!

Now, does Mike ever wear his sunglasses again? No..

Not even for sun purposes in sunny California? No.

(At least not technically until the end of s4... but that's a whole other blatant metaphor about 'eyes being windows into the souls' for another time.)

It's only after him and El have kissed and hugged that Mike finally takes off the sunglasses... How convenient.

But you want to know what Mike did in this scene right before this, that's just... there's really no excuse for it.?

If I was a hardcore milkvan fan at this point, THIS is what would've ended that era for me. Like, I just can't think of anything other than one obvious reason for why Mike did this...

Picture it.

You're Mike, reuniting with your girlfriend with whom you haven't seen in about six months. You were even kind enough to get her a gift, flowers, which you, *reads notes*, quickly put in between you and your girlfriend moments before she embraced you, with you almost instantly shouting CAREFUL, CAREFUL YOUR SQUISHING YOUR PRESENT, so that she had no choice but to separate...

How... sweet?

Nope. I'm sorry, but no. Nothing excuses this at all.

Dude literally risked ruining the present he got for her, by using it as a shield. He literally used the present he got for her as an excuse for why they had to separate sooner than later...

Like, this is repressed gay behavior of epic proportions, especially considering what follows.

Notice how when Mike approached El, he's decked out with hat/sunglasses, his hands full with the flowers and his duffel bag?

Well, notice how in contrast, when Mike approaches Will right afterwards, as he's going in for a hug, Mike switches his duffel bag from his right to his left hand (now empty after giving el the flowers) so that he can go in for a better hug with Will, with his dominant arm, only to immediately backtrack and settle for a shoulder bump...

We also get a shot of Mike looking Will up and down, no sunglasses to hide his reaction this time.

So.. basically, Mike's instinct here with El was to not make it so obvious he's not in love with her, while his instinct with Will was to not make it so obvious that he's in love with him (and boy did he fail)...

Mike addressing Will's painting, assuming it's indeed for some girl, only to never attempt to find out anything else whatsoever, for the rest of the season, about said girl his best friend is in love with?

Argyle calling Mike's shirt a knock-off, essentially calling Mike a knock-off?

Mike looking offended at Will's mention of Angela???

Like, this scene is just all around Mike being an absolute gay disaster, and the fact that 99% of audience doesn't realize this, is downright hilarious.

#stranger things #byler #airport scene #4x02 venca's curse #gay mike wheeler #bi mike wheeler #bisexual mike wheeler #this scene does have bi mike wheeler proofs so i should say bi disaster #he's a disaster all around #gay disaster #bisexual disaster #disaster all around #but we love him #but someone should also check in with him besides #unreliable narrator will byers

[why-am-i-here-someone-save-me]

Hear me out (I feel like this has probably been done before but whatever)

SAGAU but it's actually SASAGAU because you/reader/player knows.

You know that they know.

They don't know that you know that they know.

So when you put characters that don't like each other on the same team or start ranting about how amazing some character/nation is while playing a character that hates them/doesn't live there, etc, little do they know that it's not a coincidence and you're just being a little shit-

(Bonus if you do this with everyone. Mondstadters all think Liyue is your favorite, Liyueans hear you talking about how beautiful and exotic Inazuma is, and Inazumans hear you recall fondly how cozy Mondstadt is. You're like a parent that doesn't want their kids to get a big head so you talk up all their siblings in front of them and only talk good about them when they're not around. In reality you love them all because how could you not? But you're also a chaotic gremlin so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

- ♧

…♣️Anon your sheer brilliance astounds me. I actually like SUPER like this. I might decide to continue this idea in the future, though it’ll probably be with [Name] being in Teyvat being smug (Yes, yes I am on the sassy [Name] agenda; fite me)

Was it petty? Yes.

Was it amusing? Oh most definitely.

It wasn’t that you were mean or anything, you just couldn’t help it! They made it so easy! You hardly had to try! Though you admit, there were times when you nearly slipped up and showed that you knew, but for the most part, you acted completely oblivious.

Hm? They were self-aware? Well, duh, obviously. They aren’t exactly slick. Seriously, how would you not notice them doing things that were clearly too complex to have been coded behavior? Plus, it was rather fun to tease them all. And seeing them get jealous about you spending your attention on certain characters; now that was hilarious.

One of your favorite things to do to see their reactions was to replay hangout events, most of the time with some of the characters that were closely related to who you were hanging out with.

Hm? Oh sorry Ayaka, sorry Ayato, you were just busy spending some time with Thoma!

Oops, sorry Diluc, sorry Venti, your busy bonding with Diona!

Maybe sometime later Zhongli, you promised to visit Chongyun today!

It’ll have to be next time Ei, you already agreed to meet up with Sayu for some rest!

No matter how smooth they thought they were, you saw the little pouts they’d rush to hide. Honestly they were just too adorable.

Out exploring Mondstandt with the Knights? Hey Jean, hey Keaya, Lisa, Amber, have you ever mentioned how gorgeous Liyue is?

Making the Liyue workaholics take a break? Time for Xiao, Kequing, and Ganyu to hear you gush about how exciting it is in Inazuma!

Spending time with some Inazuma natives? Ei have you ever heard how amazing and fun Mondstandt is?

Okay well, not everything you did was just for the jokes. You did legitimately care about these people; they weren’t simply characters anymore after all. They had real feelings and thoughts, they had real trauma and grief. And while you might not be an expert, you certainly did your best to help them overcome their burdens, in your own chaotic way.

You knew that putting Diluc and Keaya in a team together was literally asking for trouble, but that didn’t stop you! You know they still care about one another, after all they kept each other’s big secret. The relationship was certainly strained, but all jokes aside, you really did want to see them learn to overcome the past heartache that tore their brotherhood apart. And well, if they needed a bit of a push, you’d be happy to provide that.

Was it petty? Yes.

Was it fun? Oh most definitely.

Were they important to you? Irreplaceably so.

braeburn

i think it’s hilarious they just. had lulu talk about future superbia and then had a conversation abt it outloud. LIKE 😭 poor isami’s gotta be sitting there listening to lulu’s explanation like “yeah why not this might as well happen too” LMFAO

i’m so curious. Does Isami Know. cause he sure was talking at the end like he Knew!! even as bravern put his mask back on!!! baby rice cracker just how perceptive ARE u……………..

this show is so good cause i still cannot tell which direction they are going for with the End State of smith/bravern(/isami)(/lulu?)(/superbia???). but in the sense that Any state could work. Like. the thing abt this show is that when they put green smith on screen i have assumed that it’s metaphorical BUT it could also NOT be and his body still exists which is why bravern can bleed. like that one fucking unit13 concept. or maybe they gotta harvest bravern’s legally distinct LCL and ungoopify him or smth. and they’ve Also given him very distinct purposes for which to live and exist After The World Is Saved in both mecha form (be superbia’s rival and apply the “you are gonna fucking live” message to a LITERAL deathdrive) and also human form (eat food and drink beer (and also frot? like that seemed like isami was gonna get pancakeified if lulu did not interrupt LMFAO)). however most of the human form could Also manifest in the sense that like. he gets a New Bravern (3dprinted??) Body with taste buds and/or superbiaesque orifices!!! and i’m soooooooooooo excited to see which route they take!!! :3

there is Potentially something there regarding like. maybe bravern needs a new digestive system + lulu needed to develop her digestive system + there is still a device in her hand that i don’t think has been explained? or it could also be coincidence between them just wanting to set up the food theme early and using lulu as a means to that, and also the device being just a hint that she was Not A Normal Human. idk!!!! either way it’s nice to bring that bit abt smith helping lulu eat and then lulu being concerned for bravern full circle

sorry this screenshot quality is ass and also for drowning it, my friend sent to me but i had to share it here too cause like 😭 lewis smith i’m so sorry for ever doubting you on this blog, you DO pass the Kaworu Nagisa Threshold Of Dogshit Takes And Willfully Misinterpreting The Source Material 😭😭😭 and the show isn’t even over yet!!!!! get behind me white boy!!!!

moots as nct members

I'm not sure if uve already done this sorry if u have/ don't want to do this

ahh i love love love moot games like this hehe ty for sending this in💗

(i’m realising that a lot of my moots that i mostly interact with are from deobiblr😭 i’ve only tagged ppl who i am certain they stan nct but if i forgot i’m sorry!! this was written at like 3am delusion)

@sungbeam - mark

miss ma’am works herself as much as sm overworks the shit out of mark lee istg😭 TAKE A BREAK MA'AM IT'S OKAY. ok besides from that, i feel like mark is universally a comfort person for everyone in the nct community and beam is literally MY comfort person, my soulmate, my best friend (yes, she's mine. no buts😤) she's so talented at what she does, an absolute sweetheart, she cares so so much about her peers and i rlly just admire her as a person outside of tumblr. i could literally write an essay about how much i love her but i'll save everyone the read😭

@jaeminvore - jaemin

chaos. the both of them. OK BUT besides from that, nics gives off like hot girl energy like jaemin. he's is like woah he's so sexy and he knows it type vibe and nics is the same! i remember first seeing her blog/works and being like girl. im such a fan (and i still am, she's fucking hilarious and amazing) i folded for nics as much as i did for jaemin fr. it's always so fun talking to nics about literally anything from plain old thirsting over korean men to throwing irl ppl off a cliff and like jaemin she makes any scenario so much more enjoyable!!

@polarisjisung - jisung

LOOKLOOKLOOK yes he is her bias BUT the amount of rizz the both of has😭 UHM HELLO ALSO BOTH MAIN DANCER ENERGY nah i folded fr😩 ok but besides that, we all know jisung is the most wholesome bean ever and I JUST WANT TO PROTECT HUA YK?? idk she's such a cool person to talk to and i feel like we just clicked from the first time we met. jisung gives off like ride or die energy and i can def say that hua is the same💗

@winterchimez - xiaojun

THIS ISNT CHEATING ISTG ITS A COINCIDENCE THAT HER BIAS HAPPENS TO BE HIM AS WELL OK????? Both ally and xiaojun are literally the biggest sweethearts and can get along with everybody!! I always thought that xiaojun would be such a great conversationalist and no joke, ally and I got along so well as soon as we met and now we're forever emotional support buddies🥹🤞

@sehunniepot - jungwoo

literal golden retriever energy, like ball of sunshine. the most sociable and friendliest person i’ve met. i literally fell in love with nikki’s personality as soon as we met just like I did for mr kim jungwoo😔😔 I just feel like if I were to be in a room with her, she would be the lighting everyone up like idk how to describe it. She’s just someone that I feel like everyone couldn’t help but adore.

@jaehunnyy - taeyong

I LOVE THESE TWO PPL SO MUCH ALSNFOAFEI ok. i've calmed down. but fr tho like u CANNOT hate both taeyong and chip. LIKE she's literally a beam of positivity and she cares so much for her peers and always checks up on everyone when she can🥺 our bubu is a great leader and residential cutie and i feel like chip fits that to a tea

@wuahae - haechan

something about cat always screamed haechan to me idk why. just her mannerism/texting/talking style. as soon i started talking to her on the deoboyznet chat like i knew she and i were on the same wavelength just like i felt with haechan LMAO cat may seem playful and fun all the time but she's firm when she wants to be and she knows her boundaries/morals/values which is very admirable.

@mosviqu - ten

for some reason bar and ten just makes sense. both insanely talented, sarcastic and has strong opinions which they’re not afraid of expressing. lowkey intimidating to approach at first due to how highly i thought of her work, but was literally the most down to earth, loveliest person ever. I always love when she talks about the process behind her pics because they blow me away every time just like ten’s dancing.

@daegall - renjun

yes. I know it’s literally illegal for me to put anyone else other than lee donghyuck for sunny BUT IDK MAN SHE JUST GIVES OFF RENJUN VIBES!! we all know renjun is like the cutest little ball of sweetness ever and sunny is always so lovely and whenever she gets giddy like i get giddy too😭 and her expression of emotions towards haechan is portrayed thru capitalisations, keyboard smashes and typos which reminded me of renjun's little spits of anger yk??

DROP DEAD GORGEOUS- 1999 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In a small town, teenagers compete in the annual Sarah Rose cosmetics beauty pagent.

The prettiest, most talented and most smartest girl wins a gift card and gets to go to nationals.

Its Amber Atkins (Kirsten Dunst) dream to win like her hero Diane Sawyer did. But as things heat up, freak accidents keep taking girls out of the contest. Is this coincidence or is one of the girls literally killing the competition?

One of my favourite movies.

Amazing late 90's mockumentary/comedy. Love the feel of this movie. Hilarious dialogue and characters. I could listen to the Minnesota accents all day. The cast is amazing.

Three jimsmovieworld hall of famers: Kirsten Dunst, Denise Richards and Brittany Murphy all on amazing form.

Kirsten Dunst is amazing as Amber, so sweet and likable, great main character to root for.

Denise Richards best film role imo. Shes so savage and pretty hilarious from start to finish.

Brittany Murphy is great as usual. Her laugh is infectious. The bit at the end where she yells the news about her brother being gay to her dad kills me every time i see it.

You also have Amy Adams in her first film role as Leslie Miller, an oversexed teen hoping her cheerleading routine will win her 1st place.

Kirstie Alley, Sam McMurray and Alison Janney also all have great roles in this.

The supporting characters are also a big part of what makes this chaotic film so fun. Sometimes only appearing for a scene or two, some of them are among my favourite parts of the film.

Like the asian parents who have become Americanised. They kill me.

Drop Dead Gorgeous received mixed reviews upon release but has since gained cult film status, being praised by many for its dark humour and offbeat sensibilities.

Alison Janney says fans recognise her from this more than anything else in her career.

Drop Dead Gorgeous is one of the most criminally underated comedies ever and is endlessly rewatchable.

Directed by Michael Patrick Jann.

[cookii-moon]

Guys focus on the important questions

OK OK so new trailer. No Cole, Jay, or Zane this time, people are freaking out about the Krux and Lilly lookin guys, but I'm here to ask.

WHO ARE THESE GUYS

I mean the obvious answer is that they're just the generic villain faction with little to no importance or depth BUT they look cool and I wanna know what they are OK like where did they come from the little skrunklies.

ALSO while all the mechs are doing their race thing there's just this guy cruising along at the back

Just some random neon futuristic cyclops chilling and just for that frame I love them already like look at them they're so silly

I feel like this guy is just some oni or dragon or smthn. Like... the purple markings... that or some newly introduced species. Or they'll pull a Benthomaar and just never explain it. Also I find it hilarious how we already have Cole using hammers and stuff and then this random guy comes in and not only flexes on him by actually appearing in the trailer but then one ups him by whipping out a massive warhammer with more gold abd over the top accents like dang bro he's not even HERE. (I'm sorry)

Honestly I just saved this for personal use if I end up drawing Sora. Also give them cat claws for weapons. I don't really have any particular reason except for it'd make for awesome action scenes and be thematically fiting.

Okay everyone is focusing on "Oh it looks like Lilly" but are we gonna talk about the puzzle dice thing the magician dude is holding. That looks like something plot relevant.

Okay so this kinda looks like the realm of madness what with the grundle (they're called smthn I CAN'T REMEMBER IT craglings??? ) looking guys, the purple mist, the atmosphere... which If so is awesome because that place kind of just vanished after season 1. That, or it could be the spirit cove, what with.. yknow.. the dragons... or it's some random other realm that will never be seen again. That too.

Also, I will say, seems like a pretty odd choice to have two random ice dragons in Cloud Kingdom.

Honestly I'm going to point out that these ice dragons and the big dragon at the end of the trailer have the exact same color scheme - especially on the wings - as Zane and Cole's dragon forms, respectfully. (But I will also point out that both ice dragons have this color scheme so I'm like 99% sure that's just a coincidence and they just wanted to give them cool gold accents.)

I WILL say, this is probably the most excited I've been for a Ninjago season ever since Master of the Mountain 👀 and to those worrying about Cole, Jay and Zane - Cole and Jay are in the first trailer, don't worry about it. It'll make more sense when the season comes out, I'm willing to bet that the new characters are going to take the lead and the Ninja are gonna have side plots.

Also personally I don't think that's Lilly - or at the very least, not the Lilly we know - primarily because I don't really see why they'd bring her back over literally anybody else, since out of all our dead characters she never really was intended to have any sort of story or arc, she had her story a long time ago when she was a ninja. She already did her thing. Her role is entirely in the marks she left on the world. If they were gonna do something with a Ninja's parent I don't think she'd be the go to pick. But that's just me.

It'd be interesting if she WAS, because that'd mean another Cole arc which YES PLEASE, but I don't think it's likely.

I'm not gonna touch up on the krux guy because it'd make a lot of sense but like why hide his face with nothing more than a tiny visor if you're gonna make some sort of reveal. I mean if it is Krux then this is the guy who disguised himself as Dr. Saunders but now he can't even fathom changing his hair style. I feel like if it is krux then the whole thing is a red herring to get the community talking when really we'll just be told "Oh yeah that's krux" when the episodes come out, or it'll turn out to be a completely different guy.

Okay Byeee

[ragsy]

Ragsy you asked for this

I need you to fill out the entirety of the questions for Dillion, Dogmark and Agent Hill also if you have her number you can post that too. (Sorry dogmark ur still my fave it’s just. Big lady….)

Was your OC influenced or inspired by any particular fictional character(s) when you made them? Dillion: Dillion is drawn from a lot of different sources of inspiration, but most notably he's sorta like if you put Prince Sidon (botw) and Zapp Brannigan (futurama) in a blender and gave the resulting abomination Laszlo Cravensworth's (wwdits) voice Dogmark: He's been around for so long that I can no longer directly trace anything about him back to any specific lineage. HOWEVER. I did find out very recently that he looks uncannily like the character in the musical Rent who is also bisexual and named Mark. That was a total coincidence Sloane: a lot of her design choices were "what would be very attractive to me personally" but i did take a lot of inspiration from Jasper (steven universe) and grizzled male spy action movie heroes.

What genre (not counting the one they’re in) would your OC thrive in? Dillion: sports anime Dogmark: romcom Sloane: stoner comedy

What genre would your OC do badly in but it would be hilarious or interesting to watch? Dillion: stoner comedy Dogmark: sports anime Sloane: romcom

What media does your character enjoy? (For characters in settings that aren’t modern Earth, could be media from their home setting or what they’d like in a modern Earth AU) Dillion: he'd be WAY into competition shows. chopped, ninja warrior, american idol, great british bakeoff, literally anything like that. Dogmark: video games! he's always been a big nintendo fanboy, but he hasn't had the means to pick up anything new in years. (he likes zelda & metroid the most) Sloane: melodrama. she doesn't really watch it though, she just enjoys having it on as background noise. but if anyone switches the channel, there will be hell to pay.

What song(s) do you associate with your OC? Dillion:

Dogmark:

Sloane:

(not necessarily for lyrical content, just vibes)

If your OC had to cosplay as a fictional character, who would they choose? Dillion: hunky magikarp Dogmark: botw-era Link Sloane: dean winchester

Has your OC ever had a crush on a fictional (to them) character? Dillion: if he did, he absolutely didn't recognize it for what it was at the time Dogmark: oh, several. the very first was both Elizabeth and Will from the pirates of the caribbean at the same time though Sloane: probably, but she will never, ever, ever share this information. ever.

How would your OC do in the last book/movie/tv show/game/etc. you read/watched/played? (the last game i played was minecraft) Dillion: he'd do pretty okay after the first few nights, but he would never be able to figure out cooking and starve to death Dogmark: he camps in the wilderness for fun all the time, so just fine actually! just going to completely ignore the horrors that keep crawling up from that ravine though!! Sloane: she's resourceful, so also pretty good. she'd get frustrated that none of the villages have anything to DRINK around here, but she'd get over it.

If your OC was a superhero, what would they be like? (powers, title, general vibe, etc.) Dillion: Captain Riptide: An ocean-themed Captain America type, with a bit of aquaman (water breathing, talks to fish) thrown in there. Basically just regular Sir Dillion, but with a secret identity. Dogmark: he's kinda already got everything already except the cool name ("What do you mean? 'Dogman' isn't cool????"), although he'd be less inclined towards vigilante heroics and more toward going on dangerous missions because the alternative is blackmail Sloane: she'd probably be one of those "mundane humans but is really good with a gun named Crackshot or Bullseye or something like that" type heroes, although her cursed monster arm would be a source of conflict that would probably lead her more toward antiheroism.

What animal would your OC have as their His Dark Materials daemon? Dillion: horse? probably horse Dogmark: hmm! hard to say! probably some four-legged carnivore? heavily steeped in symbolism of loyalty and servitude? what could that be??? Sloane: rattlesnake

What Pokémon would be on your OC’s team and/or what would be their preferred type? Dillion: w... water type Dogmark: normal type!!! normal! he's so normal!!! Sloane: ground type? maybe?

If your OC was a Dungeons and Dragons character, what would their class be? And/or: If they were playing D&D, what kind of character might they play? (these aren’t necessarily the same thing) Dillion: well. he's already a Fighter, and i think if he were playing dnd, he would also play fighter. fighters all the way down Dogmark: he'd be a ranger or sorcerer, but i think he would really enjoy playing a wizard or warlock Sloane: she'd be a rogue, fighter, or ranger, and i think she would think dnd is stupid so she'd never play

How well would your OC do in a standard slasher movie? Dillion: last to die, but he'd be, like, super guilty about it Dogmark: puts up a good fight, but ultimately no match for the jumpscares Sloane: goes down fighting in a last ditch effort to save the innocent bystanders. OR, alternatively, dies immediately due to her hubris and cocky attitude

What stock character would your OC be stuck as in a sitcom? Dillion: bumbling uncle Dogmark: awkward nerd who Just Can't Get a Girl! Sloane: token butch

Who would your OC main in Super Smash Bros? Dillion: CAPTAIN FALCON!! Dogmark: (copied from a previous ask) idk anything about the current roster, but probably Fire Emblem Sword Boy Du Jour? In melee/brawl he would be a Marth main though. Never played at any sort of competitive level, but he was still pretty good at it. Currently has a hard time holding game controllers on account of his claws and paw beans, especially the teeny tiny buttons on the switch Sloane: incineroar. she's a total shark about it too-- plays dumb for the first four stock, then as soon as she's down to one she opens up a can of whoopass on her opponent

Who would your OC play in Mario Kart? Dillion: inkling boy. [sighs wistfully] reminds him of home Dogmark: shy guy on a little bike Sloane: funky kong!!!!!!!

If your OC was in Star Trek’s Starfleet, what would be their role/position? Or, if that doesn’t really fit your OC: why would they get kicked out of Starfleet? (please take my answers with a grain of salt; i have an extremely casual surface level of understanding of how starfleet works) Dillion: listen, he's already partially based on a character who is partially based on bill shatner as jim kirk, so. he's the captain of this starship Dogmark: some mechanical maintenance role where he doesn't have to talk to anyone, or a security role where he's monitering cameras all day. don't put him in space adventure, he'll get sad Sloane: oh, head security officer. she'll wrestle with an alien lizard any chance she gets.

What role would your OC play in a heist story? Dillion: the muscle. he's not stealthy, he's not good at talking himself out of problems, but he IS good at bonking people in the head and/or breaking down doors. Dogmark: (copied from a previous ask) Getaway driver. He's too nervous to actually be part of the operation, but he's got a lead foot and he's a pretty solid driver. Plus, if they still end up getting caught, he can definitely outrun the cops on foot in dog form. Sloane: probably also the muscle, but in a scenario where she knows someone else is willing to put themselves in that level of danger, she'd be the overseer. planning moves, calling shots, keeping an eye on her team and guiding them to safety (and big money)

What kind of classic horror monster (vampire, werewolf, alien, etc.) would your OC be? Dillion: gillman. duh Dogmark: werewolf. duh Sloane: also werewolf, but hotter. duh

What type of Avatar The Last Airbender-type bender (or non-bender) would your OC be? Any bending specialties? Dillion: water!!!!! he's a fish man, what do you want from me!!!!!! Dogmark: (copied from a previous ask) Supposed non-bender for most of his life, but in reality just never had the opportunity to discover and hone his bending abilities. By the time he learned he was actually a bender the whole time, he'd aged out of most of the available training programs. Unsure what element though! Water maybe? (after the fact realization: probably fire actually) Sloane: non-bender, but she can definitely hold her own against a bender in a fight. probably practices chakra blocking like ty lee

Your OC gets isekai’d to a bog-standard fantasy world. What does your OC do and how badly does it go for that world? Dillion: "oh thank heavens, this is much more familiar to where i'm actually from than the other, much more creative fantasy world that i got isekai'd to right before this" Dogmark: he'd spend a week in terrified denial, then one day a gnome offers him a quarter-pint of thimbleberry ale and he throws his hands up in resignation, accepts the drink, and just learns to live with all the rest of it. his dogman curse ends up being a boon for him, it would definitely help him blend in at first Sloane: she'd spend a lot of time complaining about not having TV or cigarettes anymore (puppet shows and pipe smoke just isn't the same for her), but she'd be relieved that all of her worldly responsibilities and troubles just. vanished. (except for the cursed monster arm, but she'd probably find a cleric who could just. heal her for a day's work and everything's just peachy after that)

In the Muppet version of your story, is this particular OC a Muppet or the one human? Dillion: he's a muppet, but he's one of the full-body sized ones Dogmark: human in human form, but a muppet in dog form. when he transforms, he ducks behind a conveniently placed table and the other version jumps up in the previous version's place. Sloane: she's the human, and she never once acknowledges that her costars are made of felt and stuffing

What would be your OC’s My Little Pony cutie mark? Dillion: a really fancy medieval coat of arms with a nautilus and two crossed swords. way more detailed than any toy manufacturer could ever produce Dogmark: paw print. :) puppy Sloane: a revolver chamber, with one bullet missing.

Your OC is stuck in a musical episode. What song(s) do they sing? (And how thrilled or annoyed are they about being stuck in a musical?) Dillion: he gets the confused and excited "what the hell is happening, why are we singing" number, as well as being in the chorus for every subsequent number. he's a little pitchy, but he's so into it, so his spirit alone sells it. Dogmark: he gets the emotional "all is lost" number that happens on the transition between the second and third acts. it's his one and only musical number-- he spends the whole runtime up to that number denying that he's in a musical, but when his time comes, he owns it. Sloane: she manages to figure out how to game the system by simply not speaking the whole episode-- she communicates entirely by typing things on her phone and having TTS read them out for her. everyone else wishes she would just lighten up a little

In a murder mystery, what role would your OC play? (e.g. detective, sidekick, wacky suspect, rival investigator who gets in thew way, red herring, true culprit) Dillion: rival investigator who thinks he's extremely talented at solving mysteries, when in fact he's just jumping to conclusions and assuming he's correct Dogmark: suspect who is innocent but was definitely in the wrong place at the wrong time and cannot articulate why without incriminating himself for something entirely unrelated Sloane: secret detective-- played along as just some innocent observer, but was actually clocking everything the whole time.

What is your OC’s Warrior Cats name? Dillion: splashstream Dogmark: bramblefur Sloane: tigerblaze

Gun to their head, what is your OC’s fursona? Dillion: coelacanth?? Dogmark: dog obviously, but like. that very specific kind of mutt you see with yellow single-coat fur, pointed ears, smooth tail, and no markings except for the odd white point here or there Sloane: GRAND! OLD! BOAR!!!!!

if you made it this far hi thanks i love you for loving my characters this much

[dirtyoldmanhole]

real dweeby navel gazing time

i think one of the reasons i am having genuinely, so much fun with this gunter slowburn fanfic despite sitting at a literal 53k words rn and with it probably being close to 90k all said and done, is it's ... writing the ship i see myself in the most by far on both sides.

like, ever.

this shit is the rawest most honest shit i've ever written.

i've talked a little bit about how corrin's memory wipe stuff is literally a 1:1 to my anesthesia/childhood surgery/physical therapy conga line of bullshit. even aside from the helpful textual 'here's how this works from a medical event standpoint' there's the 'here's the emotional scars that it will leave because yes it is a bodily/mind violation of a sense, over and over, and jesus all of this of this stuff goes so well thematically to the straight up fantasy bullshit of nohr with the underpinning of being hyper-aware to the themes of "power" "use" "what it takes to survive by emotionally dragging yourself through a minefield" etc. stuff i've been ruminating over since being conscious lol.

then my body's so whack from a physical joint perspective that there's also almost word for word conversations from gunter's side that i've had with my gf about how to navigate certian shit from a kink perspective but also like... how to maintain dignity when your body's kinda physically crapping out on you due to the march of time.... without loosing the sexytimes u know?

the concept of dignity in the face of being broken is a huge theme in this fic that gets echoed. very poignant for reasons you fates players know.

amusingly there's a scene near the end where corrin's helping him to shave after his stroke. (in one of fate's "clearly having a giggle at my expense" coincidences i've been in contact lately irl with somebody who's also gone through a stroke and man is it not easy) and it's this kind of perfect blend of she's helping him, technically, with something that could just be... god awful self loathing brainspace wise for him but it turns into this amazingly hot kink scene with some serious sizzling power exchange.

the dream, man!

there is a real thin line between being able to laugh at yourself *while* keeping that dignity to pointedly.... having to not look in the mirror some days. desire and shame being some real fucked up entangled wires too, in that sense.

the tumblr uwu approved discussions re: tricky medical/'my body is crapping out on me man and i can't hide it'/kink shit and having to be ~valid~ all the time gives me the hiiiiiveeeees man (and i'm not knocking it for other people, i know why it exists, but it sends my hackles up u feel).

and yet this fic still feels like, hot, in the fun sense.

there's enough fun whacko fantasy taboo elements in it that it doesn't feel .... oh no this ain't sexy this is Too Real, you feel, or too much like a trauma fic(tm)

there's the sexy yandere villain ossan (lol), corrin herself has one hell of a sex drive (and honestly that's yet another huge focus, that wish fufillment fantasy of this 'pure fragile princess chick that's fought over like a prize by everyone else' who gets to choose 'no i actually want the hot villain kthx'. she actually rants to him several times about being fought over and having everyone else from nohr/hoshido project all the shit on her.

(and him being all, I got you, I get it.)

he actually does!!!! that's the funniest darkest most ironic thing!! he's got that weird blend of being aware enough from a kink perspective and just 'went through enough shit' life perspective of why sometimes the most sacred, profound thing you can do for somebody is to break them when they ask for it. sometimes in the dark u just want the brain wires to go bzzt.

there is a weird as hell comraderie in the sense of facing very specific demons that only they have (which, again, hilariously, goes so well with the themes of revelation! invisible enemies/demons that only you two know about.)

and then i have like yet another essay in me about how literally every character i've RP'ed is a suspiciously similar to his whole... archetype.... like all of my RP partners have gravitated to playing the chicks in the het relationships and i've always RP'd the snarky older guy going through life snarking at shit and being a closet misanthrope (there's probably some presentation/gender-aligned stuff going there but this is already navel gazey as hell lol)

anyway

tl;dr i haz feelz

#bla la la la ~ #the dad jokes in the fic make it worth it too #idek this came about when i caught myself genuinely finding it easier to write gunter's POV scenes. though i dig corrin's a lot too. #motto of writing this fic (said in the voice of the classic ms. frizzle): make it weirderrrrr

VOTE FOR KIYOSHI KARASUMA IN THE OC POLL

@original-character-championship

OC created by @giantchasm

from Adventures in Solitude

Quick break from my regularly scheduled dinosaur propaganda to present my propaganda for the best-written OC I’ve ever seen in a fanfic. I didn't create Kiyoshi, but he lives in my head rent-free now. He looks like a normal-ass preteen but he is such a fascinating and hilarious being. He is simultaneously a serious and dramatic character study on the ethics of reincarnation and a character whose mere existence feels like a hilarious cosmic joke. He is the personification of an Angsty Crack-Taken-Seriously Fic.

“Fun” Facts About The Boy:

Has a big fluffy Samoyed named Taros.

He’s a trans boy! Came out when he was ten, and his parents & family friends accepted and supported him. These first two are fun facts and not “fun” facts, unlike pretty much the rest of his preteen existence

His sleep paralysis demon is his best friend’s past life

The reason he turned out good this time is, canonically, because he burned some ants with a magnifying glass when he was three and felt really bad about it

As a baby he hated this one aunt on sight for no discernible reason. He came around pretty quickly and now she's his favorite aunt, but 12 years later they found out that this was because that aunt was his past life's younger sister-in-law who he once tried to murder. She also happens to be his current middle school teacher's wife for some reason

His best friend once clapped at him so threateningly that Kiyoshi dissociated and almost had a past-life flashback/panic attack in the middle of capture the flag

He would be personally offended if he saw someone online call Heinz Doofenshmirtz a mad scientist*

Was once a popular kid… when he was a preschooler. Then his anxiety and self-judgement got so bad that now he just sits in the back of the classroom judging everyone and had no friends outside of his parents’ now-adult former students prior to the start of the fic

Despite being a neurotic ball of anxiety and self-loathing, he and his mom (who love each other very much) regularly cuss at each other. He’s probably better at saying “fuck” than any other thirteen year old

Is the voice of reason in his friend group despite having been, y'know, a war criminal in his past life

His best friends got into a fistfight on school grounds over whether or not he should be forgiven for his war crimes

Part of the reason that his redemption arc is so satisfying is that his awful past life knew his parents and friends and fucking hated them all. That man would’ve been legitimately horrified to learn he’d be reborn as this couple’s neurotic little scrimblo of a child. Pretty much every aspect of Kiyoshi’s personality is tailor-made to piss off his past life, and that was mostly a coincidence b/c most of Kiyoshi's character was created before the author had even considered making him a reincarnation. Kiyoshi literally just being himself and accepting who he is is a fate worse than death to the horrible narcissistic man that he was in his past life.

he’s not a natural blond

When he tried shit-talking his past life with a friend, the best insult they could come up with was “Ghetsis from Pokemon”

"'WILL YOU PEOPLE STOP CALLING MY SLEEP PARALYSIS DEMON HOT!?,' Kiyoshi wails” is an actual quote from this fic. Both of his best friends, and half of his middle school class, agreed that his sleep paralysis demon was sexy

canonically ate a live rat in his past life*

*these are the only fun facts not explicitly mentioned in the original fic. everything else is real, I'm not making any of it up

And finally, some relevant memes and quotes:

[sweet-star-cookie]

OH YEAH SORRY I FORGOT TO MENTION IN MY LAST ASK:

who created the astral plane? i looked through your tumblr and found someone called 'asteria', so are solaris and lunaris co-creators or merely just caretakers of the astral plane?

Ahaaaa I wondered if/when you’d get to Asteria ;D Unfortunately this is where most of the biggest spoilers are, but I’ll do my best to give you info anyway! Even revealing her existence is technically a big spoiler already, but when you’re me and have had this story in development for a long time, you want to share the art as soon as it gets finished lol

While I do have a lot of this story's lore figured out by now, it's all still a WIP that's subject to change and will be presented differently in the comic than it is in these text-based asks anyway, so I'm not as bothered about most spoilers at this point. Even if I have to curate some posts or add spoiler warnings later on, it's unlikely that every reader of the comic or follower of my work in general will read these. That and I really really like talking about this story so I often can't help myself xD

Though Asteria's true purpose in the story is probably the biggest spoiler of them all, I can say that she is not the creator of the Astral Plane. No one entity is its creator either, but I can't really elaborate further than that. I will say, though, that the connection between the Astral Plane and Earth is very important here. Moreover, the Starglass being sent to Earth specifically is also not arbitrary.

I can at least give you what the constellations think they know about the creation of their world, as it is still relevant to the story and Cassie helps fill in some of the gaps while she’s out rescuing spirits. Not all of it is right, but not all of it is wrong either.

Libra especially is fixated on answering a lot of the grander questions about how their world works and documenting it in her library. Unfortunately, a lot of the information and remnants of the Astral Plane's history have been lost or destroyed in various ways, so Libra and the others are quite literally picking up the pieces.

She wonders if there are other incarnations of the constellations or if different versions of the Astral Plane exist parallel to their own. She knows that some spirits of people and animals can appear as constellations, but not enough appear on their Astral Plane to account for the billions of lives on Earth, so it can't be all of them.

[Side note: This question is not fully answered in the story in order to keep the already large scope of the worldbuilding contained for this particular narrative, but I also didn't want it to be at the expense of implying that this version of the Astral Plane (or an afterlife in general) is the ONLY one that exists on Earth canonically, as all of the stars in our solar system have various interpretations across different cultures and religions in real life.]

[Side note 2: While I initially only did this for the aforementioned taming of the scope, I do find it hilarious and awesome that you ended up doing specifically a crossover fic between our worlds, as that COULD theoretically happen within the canon of Starglass Zodiac itself already, if there was ever a way to jump between the star worlds. Gotta love coincidences like that!]

As for Asteria, very little is known about her, as none of the current incarnations of the constellations have ever seen or met her. The only remnants of her are through a few torn pages and a fractured statue, the latter of which the earth signs can't repair at that point in the story when it is discovered. They only know her name by finding and piecing together parts of the statue's base.

They also cannot verify if she is some kind of constellation or is otherwise made of Light magic like the rest of them, as none of the Star Fragments that have been recovered and restored into stained glass portraits end up depicting her. The singular intact image of Asteria that currently exists is in an engraving above the stage in Capricorn's theatre of all places, but it is only part of her. Also, notably, her eyes are depicted closed.

The symbol that would later be associated with the Starglass (and by extension, Cassie) still appears in every discovered remnant of Asteria, however, and the same is true for the Solunar Spirits. Images of the sun and moon in addition to stars leads many to believe that they are linked somehow, but it is not known how the Solunar Spirits came to be or why they are still around when Asteria isn't. Cassie does discover the answer to this, but not until the climax of the story.

#it's a lot of unanswered stuff this time around but I hope that helps still! #thanks for the ask <333 #asks #tabsters #my OCs #Starglass Zodiac #SGZ #long post

Sipping gin and juice Laying underneath the palm trees (Undone) The boys break their necks Tryna to creep a little sneak peek (At us)

You could travel the world But nothing comes close to the Golden Coast Once you party with us, you'll be falling in love

California girls, we're undeniable Fine, fresh, fierce, we've got it on lock West Coast represent, now put your hands up!

Sex on the beach We don't mind sand in our stilettos We freak in my jeep Snoop doggy-dog on the stereo

@karatecaulfield gotta pspsps you again

Fun fact: Even though this is obviously the most YasMoon song to ever YasMoon, I only really started associating it with them when I wrote a scene for my ongoing fic where they were jamming out to it and singing along in the Range Rover. Because by god!!! They WOULD jam out to California Gurls like the preppy-yet-uninhibited valley girls they are!!! Like when I think of girls singing too loud in the car and dancing around with the convertible roof down and generally being the most obnoxious young women you've ever seen in your entire life, YasMoon is the first thing that comes to mind. It's their Vibe!!!

This semi goes with this ficlet I wrote, which was loosely based on California Gurls. I think I said it best in the tags there: There's a certain peach, orange, and cranberry cocktail that I think these two beautiful lesbians deserve to model their life after >:3

I fr love the idea of these girls trying to walk around the beach in heels XD And somehow they don't stumble at all (at least not visibly!) and it confuses the crap out of all their friends. This is just what happens when you were born and raised within driving distance of the beach and Constantly Pressured To Be Hyperfemme-Style Pretty XD

No but imagine being friends with Yasmine and Moon and going to a big Fancy Beach Bash that half the grade and kids from several other rich kid schools are invited to. And then halfway through, the cohosts completely vanish and you're like ???? So you follow a trail of high heel prints someone left in the sand (who DOES that, by the way?) until you eventually come across two pairs of casual-but-still-very-pricey stilettos half-buried in the sand like some weird modern art installation. And you're like "Oh??? Who are the lucky guys? ;3" but brother, all those interesting noises coming from that nearby beach tent are definitely female.

Another fun fact: I have been meaning to submit this moodboard literally all summer. I made it in like May??? But I'm glad I saved it for the event because...yannow...golden??? Golden Coast??? XD ...too on-the-nose?

(Also decided to include the snippet of said fanfiction with the California Gurls jamming-out scene as a separate prompt for this week! Hilariously, it happens to have a bunch of gold color motifs in it that are completely unrelated to this submission. Lucky coincidence? Anyways, it'll be up in a couple days!)

I also have something planned for Heatwave, btw!!! But unfortunately I'm going on a trip soon and definitely won't finish it by the end of week 1 :( It's in the works, though, and I defs want to post at least some of it later on!!!

ANYHOW.

Idk I just think they deserve to lie on beach towels holding hands and eating popsicles and sipping fancy cocktails and also going on Santa Monica Pier dates and taking long coastline joyrides with the windows down, all while very openly in gay love with each other <3 <3 <3 They'll get there someday, I know it!!! Yasmine, you can do it!!! You can stop repressing your sexuality, I promise!!! Godspeed, girl!!! ;_____;

Also, cannot tell you how much I would LOVE to see Moon tie her hair up in a loose ponytail with a patterned ribbon like in the top left pic :O Like it is no longer a mere want, it is a DESPERATE YEARN. And Yas would look cute af in that pink-and-white bikini and the light pink towel in the bottom right, don't @ me!!!

...the irony of me absolutely despising fashion and clothes growing up because I was a girl and girls were "expected" to be into that sort of thing, and now I joyously dress my gay little blorbos up in cute outfits with nary a care in the world XD Character development, I guess?

Anyways, I didn't get into clothes to appease men by presenting "feminine" enough for them. I got into clothes to impress all the hyperfemmes I wish to kiss under the moonlight akjnsauldkbhks I no longer perform femininity for men because most I've met actually kind of hate it and the only people who have ever fully embraced my girly girl side are in large majority other women lmao. You only get to see my girly side if you embrace it unironically!!! If you only like it as a means of boxing me in and secretly hate/make fun of me being girly, you will simply never get to see it :3

As always, pic credits available upon request! Keep an eye out for my fic preview coming soon! :D

[spicyvampire]

hi absolutely adore your stuff i just wanted to sincerely apologise if i ever called you guy/man in tags and if you were uncomfortable with it, bc funny story. i might have hallucinated that you had a he/him in your bio when i checked your blog months ago (i swear i saw it, i swear) and then i made a whole story of you being a trans guy who was so into Manner of Death that he decided to take the name Tan in my head. but i've looked into it again today and turns out i was Wrong so. yeah. glad that you are okay with all pronouns at least no mistakes were made by me with that. sorry again for possible past misgendering and this probably insane ask, please have the nicest week possible and i hope you keep making the funniest coolest most beautifully colored edits ever <3

Op this has to be the funniest ask I've ever received in my entire life, I laughed so loudly I think my neighbors heard me, people have been going "sir sorry ma'am" and viceversa for the past 5 years with me irl all the time and I NEVER thought that could happen without someone seeing my face

Imma try to adress every part of this

You have not misgendered me by calling me guy/man, I'm as okay with it as I am okay with any pronouns, even if I'm more used to girl pronouns/nouns/adjectives being mainly female presenting most days, I even refer to myself as a "silly guy" cuz I find it accurate, does any of that make me a trans guy I honestly don't know, my gender is an ungoing battle but I'm at peace with where it's at rn

My blog title used to be "holistic himbo" in reference to Dirk Gently Holistic Detective Agency & Himbo just cuz that was the cool new buzzword at the time and I liked it a lot (still do use it time to time to refer myself) and that might be where you got that my pronouns were he/him, when I changed the blog moods/url it became Super Slumber in reference to Nandor's depression sleep in WWDITS

Listen the "MoD/Tan" part is literally so hilarious that the actual origin of me using that name seems lame in comparison, the true is that back in high school I had a group of friends and at some point we were chosing nicknames for each other and it's like literally impossible to get a cute & short nickname out of the name "Tanya" so they basically removed the "ya" part and so I've been Tan for the past 12 years, i'm actually more comfortable with that than my own actual name and it's a complete coincidence that it's a gender neutral/kinda masculine name, the fact that my fav bl of all time MoD with my fav bl couple MaxTul had a guy character that I heavily identified with named the same like 10 years later was also pure coincidence if you can believe that

This ask made my day tbh so thank you and I hope you have a nice week too

#ask #kinda a long answer but really i did not want u to feel bad about it #big fan of your gifs btw

[unlucky-leek]

Following on from my Bloodborne / Blood Moon Ursaluna observation, allow me to introduce you to Marveux:

Marveux started as a random character I created for Bloodborne, my first Souls-type game. I have now started to recreate him in similar games, and have developed a little timeline for him as a result over the last couple of years. The new Ursaluna being so similar to Marveux was hilarious to me, hence the observation, and I have now decided to canonically add "bear form" to Marveux's adventures. It even has the "corrupted eye" on the right side!

Presenting: A Brief History of Marveux:

Bloodborne: Marveux Debuts.

A simple man, Marveux had no idea what was in store for him. He somehow managed to resist the poison spreading through Yarnham, instead channelling it all into his left eye, which allowed him to see things he really shouldn't have been able to.

Following quite possibly the most traumatic experience ever, Marveux bests the Moon Presence and... Becomes a slug. Assuming he becomes the "new" Moon Presence, Marveux eventually tires of his eldritch existence and tried to regain his humanity.

Enter Blood Moon Ursaluna!

The Moon Presence appears in front of a crimson moon and this new bear has a crimson moon on his head. Coincidence? probably I think not!

Marveux tried his best, but *insert unspecified amount of time* of ingesting Beast Blood and being a literal Great One meant it was a little difficult for him to regain his human form too easily. Instead he ended up as a bear man / beast hybrid and fell from the skies, ending up on the shores of Kitakami. He manages to walk on two legs, and has even fashioned himself a cloak of sorts. He even got his original eye colour down! But it's just not good enough, and that poisoned red eye of his is now completely black.

"What cruel existence is this?"

Elden Ring:

Finally, after escaping from the small child that imprisoned him, Marveux retreated to an unspecified location to slowly regain some of his humanity. By the time he is summoned by the Forces That Be to become the Elden Lord, he passes as human again, but barely. He starts off with nothing to his name except a loin cloth salvaged from some of his old fur, and a crudely made club. He's got both eyes back, but it seems he can't quite shake the corruption from the left one.

Marveux has seen some things...

Slowly, Marveux regains his strength, salvaging what he can from his kills. Eventually, after yet another horrifying adventure, Marveux weds Ranni and becomes a Lord. Things, while insane, are good for a while.

(Marveux started as a wretch in this game, with the idea being that he was somehow reincarnated by a higher power, but this also works with the new Pokemon timeline, since he's only just become human again and wouldn't have any armour or weapons etc.)

Demons Souls:

An unspecified amount of time later, Marveux, now a Royal Lord is investigating something for his Queen, Ranni. Through unspecified means (because my boy is extremely unlucky), he slips through a fog gate and finds himself in the world of Boletaria. Unable to find his way back, but fortunately still in possession of some of his powers for once, he sets off on a journey to return home (wherever that is) and reunite with his four-armed love.

His eyes are finally starting to regain their colour, although both eyes are now a strange mix of red and green. There was a time when he tried to claw his red eye from his skull, but all he ended up with was some gnarly scars.

Alright, so he meets another girl on his journey, but it doesn't mean anything, promise!

I've only just started Demon's Souls so I'm not sure how it ends for him yet, but time will tell.

And that's the (current) Tale of Marveux!

When and if I play any more games like this, I'll have to see if I can fit them into the timeline somewhere!

Thanks for reading!

(Why the name Marveux? No idea, just thought it sounded fancy)

[tellthemeerkatsitsfine]

A post I made yesterday reminded me of how much I enjoy the absolute reverence Nish Kumar has for John Oliver, and how funny comparisons between the two often are. When he was hosting The Mash Report, Nish was often lauded as “Britain’s John Oliver”, as though John Oliver were the only other person to ever host a topical comedy TV show. Though actually comparisons were getting made even without that, as you can see in the start of this short compilation, from before The Mash Report began. At that point Nish was just considered similar to John Oliver because he did political comedy, as though John Oliver were the only other person to do political comedy.

But to be fair, I do see the comparisons beyond just the fact that they both do political comedy and hosted... or used to host... a TV show about it. There’s a similar outlook on the world and a similar “voice” behind it. A particular way to approach serious topics, by starting with just a monologue of things they genuinely believe, and then interspersing jokes and pop culture references and sort of compulsive self-deprecation every few sentences. And if we start with the idea that anyone who’s appeared on a topical comedy panel show has “done political comedy”, then John Oliver and Nish Kumar are both a lot more informed than most people you’ll see talking about that stuff (not more informed than other actual political comedians, but more than what you’d get on an average Mock the Week). They also both have the style I like of filling their points with asides and caveats, to let in room for nuance.

As Stuart Goldsmith delicately pointed out in that first clip (I say “delicately” because he was clearly trying to avoid accuse Nish of “ripping off” John Oliver, and I hope it’s clear that I’m not trying to do that either, comedians being influenced by others is normal and good; it’s how the best parts of comedy carry on as it evolves), I don’t think that’s a coincidence. The views Nish Kumar presents are his own, and so are the jokes obviously, but he was clearly influenced by John Oliver when developing that style. And not just television John Oliver – Nish Kumar has talked before about having been a long-time fan of The Bugle before he started appearing on it in 2016. He’s complained at times about how some of the running jokes in the Zaltzman and Oliver-era Bugle had meant he could never look at Florence Nightingale the same way again. The Florence Nightingale jokes started in 2008, when Nish would have still been in university and just starting to develop his comedy style. Of course that helped shape it, and I’m glad it did. There are thousands of aspiring comedians out there being influenced by Joe Rogan; I’m very happy to see some good guys also occasionally pass on a bit of their craft to the generations that follow them.

So at some point in Nish’s career he did start getting called “Britain’s John Oliver” a lot, by various people for various reasons. Except for Andy Zaltzman, who thinks it’s hilarious to call him “The British John Oliver”, a subtle difference that makes it much more of a dig at the actual John Oliver. Nish’s rise to fame coincided with John leaving The Bugle, where Nish literally replaced him as a Bugle co-host, and Andy Zaltzman dealt with that by making a lot of jokes about John being a traitor, just one of which suggesting that Nish had replaced him in all senses of the word (there were others, and they were just jokes and I’m sure Zaltzman and Oliver were on good terms in real life, but I have heard the words “Fuck you Percy Primetime” out of Andy’s mouth with what I’m fairly sure was at least some genuine bitterness, during the peak of John’s messy and prolonged departure from The Bugle). Now that I think about it, between the early 2010s and the late 2010s, Nish Kumar took over John Oliver’s place as Andy Zaltzman’s Bugle podcast partner, and as a go-to person in Daniel Kitson’s stand-up stories about his friends. It’s possible that Nish Kumar did actually just wait for John Oliver to cut ties and then steal his entire life.

Anyway, this is a short compilation of clips with Nish Kumar + John Oliver (just Nish talking about John, and one brief clip of John responding to the comparisons - I don’t think I know of any video or audio evidence of those two actually interacting with each other, though I might look that up now). The clip at the beginning is funny, as it’s Nish Kumar explaining that you’ll never get accused of ripping off a comedian who isn’t of your race because people never put comedians of different races together in their mind. Obviously, that interview occurred before Nish got famous enough so everyone did, in fact, start comparing him frequently to a white guy. It then goes into some Bugle clips and one from The Mash Report, all of which are, to use a technical comedy analysis term, fucking adorable. Genuinely adorable how obviously Nish reveres John Oliver, how excited he was to finally meet him and get to chase him all over a field, how he was genuinely willing to metaphorically throw hands with Piers Morgan to defend him, and how he took a moment out of his actual TV show to mention it. I’ve heard him go into more detail in some interviews as well, breaking down in more intelligent detail why he admires John Oliver so much, but I really like these clips where he’s just being funny while being really excited about his hero.

anyway tmntsona time <3

fun things under the cut that have nothing to do with their biology/powers

catboy calls leon "leo 2" bc they're older

catboy calls leon "leo 2" bc they're older

leon calls catboy "leo 2" bc it was his name first (technically true, he hatched [trans term] before catboy regardless of age)

catboy has multiple names, but finds the accuracy really funny and therefore refuses to use any other name (a cat named leo, yknow)

when they're in the same space, everyone else calls leon. well, leon or another form of his name, while catboy requests that they call them catboy bc its funny (they do a lot of things based entirely on how funny it'd be if you couldn't tell)

leon however likes to hold a grudge over the dumbest shit ever and catboy (say it with me now) finds it HILARIOUS how mad leon gets about it so they're really the only ones who call each other leo 2

at first, catboy and the turtles only really run into each other on insane coincidence bc they both have access to the police scanner and so of course end up meeting to fight the same dudes

this happens like 7 times before they end up. actually communicating and letting each other know when the other has something handled

the turtles are 100% FASCINATED at how well the big smashy technique works, which catboy just explains away as "super-physical improv", thus revealing themselves as a theater kid. it works so well because catboy has no idea what their next move is gonna be, so there's no fucking way the opponent will either. they're literally just making shit up as they go and as the opponent reveals their weaknesses over the course of the fight.

is actually pretty cool with being a mutant (FURRY)

Casual Turtle Interaction

they definitely bond with mikey over art. they would show him the wonders of air-dry clay while talking about true crime and ghosts and shit. cooking and baking shenanigans also ensue and they would probably fight over their views on rupert swaggert (catboy HATES him bc hes a fucking asshole who makes cooking unfun and less accessible)

would beg donnie to optimize EVERYTHING they have. donnie finds it tedious bc its mostly expanding storage and pirating shit, but he likes to show off. since catboy doesn't know shit about technology, they'd talk about video games, mostly on a superficial level bc catboy Also doesn't know shit about gamer stats and couldn't care less about them (very similar to their fighting style)

would show raph Endless cute animal pics, mostly their own, and discuss wrestling (catboy isn't a huge fan like raph, but they can appreciate a cool persona and ADORE extreme wrestling with glass and chains and shit because it's more real and thus more exciting). they'd probably spar a bit too, though catboy requests frankenfoot to sit out bc they don't want papercuts and also they think frankenfoot is too cute and would definitely throw the match for him.

despite the whole name thing, catboy and leon would get along pretty well. while leon has never been in a theater class or improv class, catboy clocks him as a theater kid at heart Immediately. they'd compete to see who can do a one-man music video best (catboy wins most of the time despite the fact that they can't dance for shit bc they do them Constantly just for funsies and also. yknow did 3 years of theater class). they somehow manage to turn everything into a competition: for catboy, it's always for fun, just a friendly game. leon, however. no matter what the premise is, he takes it probably more seriously than he should and more often than not ends up making a fool of himself. catboy also makes a fool of themselves pretty often though, which definitely makes leon feel better. when it's a gaming competition... it's not usually a gaming competition actually. catboy doesn't really like fighting games (they've only ever really played smash and got absolutely decimated by the guilty gear bot their first time playing), so sometimes the gaming competitions are more like "who can make the most fucked up dog in wobbledogs" or something. these competitions are more evenly split in terms of outcome.

splinter takes a while to warm up to catboy, for obvious reasons. catboy, however, has very strict limits when it comes to what they will or won't eat, one of them being "i am never fucking ever going to eat ANYTHING alive" and another being "i'm not killing it myself, my heart can't take it". catboy has never seen a lou jitsu movie, but nevertheless find it absolutely amazing to be in his presence. they like dumb insignificant trivia, so they ask him endless questions about what it was like to be a film star, what it was like to be in the studio for hours at a time, what other film stars he knows personally, etc etc.

they like to make fun of draxum a lot. like come on dude, you were a warring warrior scientist and now youre Wet Beast Supreme??? it Infuriates him to no end, but they also like to ask him alchemy and magic questions with genuine interest so he's kind of torn between hating and tolerating them. he hasn't killed them yet, so catboy considers this a good sign

they have a little bit of a crush on april KNFKEMSKDMSKMDKSJ they like how spontaneous and gung-ho she is, especially when it comes to absolutely bonkers hidden city shit. they think shes ultra mega cool and considers themself lucky to know her. they don't actually talk much though, due to them both being college students and busy with. yknow school shit.

#FINALLY DONE #im not actually gonna make any like. oc x canon art between them and april bc i don't really see a need to #jsyk #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the tmnt #tmnt sona #tmntsona #persona #sona #oc: leo #save rottmnt #support rottmnt #shapeshifter #rottmntsona #rottmnt sona #reference sheet #ref sheet #spaghetti art #tmnt

Another random Sonic Movie Thought

Of course, it could only be an utter coincidence. Still, it seems that there has to be something intentional about giving the Polish last name of Wachowski when Dr. Ivo (meant to be backwards Ovi for egg, but could also could be seen as a variation of Ivan, the nearby Russian version of John) Robotnik's last name already has it's origins from Poland, since the name is literally the polish word for worker while also having 'Robot' within it (similar to how mechanicals use to be the term for common workmen as in Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream).

At the very least, it helps contrast them more. Whoever were Robotnik's birth parents, they would seem to have wanted to maintain a tight grip on their heritage while Tom Wachowski's family has either been around long enough that they don't consider themselves different from other Americans, they don't struggle too hard with holding onto the past, or his parents were newly immigrated and didn't want Tom to stand out anymore than he did with the last name (how many would bet that no one ever would bully Ton over a last name like Wachowski?). In the end, definitely helps the Robetnik's uniqueness vs. Tom's 'mediocrity' dynamic.

But what if it was also a subtle hint to some other connection? We know that if Shadow's being brought back, most likely that'll also mean Dr. Gerald Robotnik and his granddaughter Maria will be back in the picture. Gerald's connection with Ivo is direct, also being his grandfather. But the connection with Maria has more wiggle room. Usually, he's her cousin. In this universe though, he grew up an orphan, a lot like is simplied with Tails. It could also potentially be the case in other Eggman versions, but it's not been explicitly there in the cases I know, so we'll say that the orphan origin is unique here. Meaning there's a reason for him being an orphan, potentially related to how the status quo has changed.

Other fans on reddit estimated that he's probably around 48-50 years old at least. If that's the case, there's a good chance for him to be Maria's little brother this time around, born shortly before or right after her death, which was then followed shortly afterwards by his parents' deaths and his grandfather's death so that he only knew himself as an orphan. That in and of itself would be an interesting connection for Robotnik to find out about and seems highly likely. But what if we took this idea a step further?

Gerald and Maria basically spent their last years on the ARK in the games. If the same holds true in the movies, then that leaves baby Eggman in an interesting position. Maria's parents don't seem to figure into things at all, meaning they're likely out of the picture for one reason or another. An infant also typically is not supposed to be out in space. Gerald would already be pushing things to have Maria up there, even if Commander Walters ends up also to have been up there during that time. Eggman though would need someone to actually raise him. And who better than an older sibling, for the sake of the theory, a sister between 14-16 when everything goes down. Who then gets separated from Ivo in the aftermath as part of the coverup in case the two siblings work together to expose everything. She tries to find her brother, likely after aging out of the system. Ends up meeting Mr. Wachowski, potentially bonding over a shared heritage, falling in love, marrying, then having Tom Wachowski. Who then may or may not have traces of Maria in how he looks that could cause Shadow pause when confronting him.

Too crazy a theory? Or potentially possible? At the very least, it could be hilarious for Robotnik turn out to be Tom's biological uncle and/or for Shadow to start inexplicably doing all he can to make sure Tom in particular doesn't die while still trying to destroy the rest of the world. Perhaps Tom or his mother would be the one's helping Shadow gain back what he really promised Maria instead of vengeance.

At the very least, it'd tie into the theme of family.

(Then there could also be the utterly tragic scene of Tom's mother being ecstatic to finally see her little brother again, only for Eggman to push her back, yelling about if she'd wanted him she should have been there. He didn't need any family. Especially not family like her.)
