#and he uses a fake name | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

Guys. @mvshortcut gave me a really good idea.

What if, after regaining his memory (And after they deal with Curtain and get home safe and everything), Constance is immediately peppering him with questions (Or maybe before. It's Constance, so who knows) about his name.

"We can't keep calling you 'Milligan', it's not your name. Just tell us, or we'll have to find out another way."

And Milligan, of course, has a decision to make. No one can correct him, not even Kate, because no one knows his real name. This is a power he is only going to have once. And so he says:

"Dave."

Everyone is losing their minds, but in all different ways. Reynie is very polite and asks which name he'd prefer to go by, while Sticky is having a quiet mental breakdown. "What on earth why is his name 'Dave' of all things and now we have to get used to calling him something new and what if I forget I hate it when people call me the wrong name oh what if I mess up and he hates me now that would be awful especially since he's apparently Kate's dad-" Kate just rolls with it. "Okay, neat! Do you want me to call you that, or "Milligan", or "dad"? Or something else, have I talked to you about nicknames, yet?" Constance, meanwhile, being the one who asked in the first place, simply nods. (I don't think she's developed enough as a psychic to fully read his mind at this point, but she probably knows he's messing with them.)

Milligan holds on for as long as he can, but eventually he bursts out laughing, likely the first real laugh he's had in who knows how long, wiping away tears and chuckling to himself as he tries to calm down. He informs the children that, no, his name is not "Dave", but his isn't sure he wants to share it anyway, since he doesn't feel like it fits him anymore.

Once this message has sunk in, the kids realize something. Maybe Milligan can have this power twice, since they haven't told the rest of the adults yet. They all swear themselves to secrecy and the whole way home they pitch names for him to use when he dramatically re-introduces himself to Rhonda, Number Two, and Mr. Benedict.

They end up settling on "Francis", both because Kate thought it sounded funny, and Sticky mentioning that it can mean "free man", which Reynie and Milligan agreed was a very apt description. Constance voted for "Mulligan", but it was quickly vetoed.

The ordeal goes about as well as you'd expect, with Milligan doing an admirable job at keeping a straight face (and the children attempting less successfully) as Mr. Benedict smiled pleasantly and worked to fight off sleep at hearing Milligan had regained his memories, and Number Two tried to hide her distaste for the new name, and Rhonda was placidly neutral in the background. However, as soon as Mr. Benedict tried it out for the first time ("Well, Francis, would you care for some tea?"), Milligan and the children crack up, quite confusing the other three. It took two seconds for them to put the pieces together and figure out what was going on, and another ten minutes to fully explain the joke, at Mr. Benedict's request (especially because he kept falling asleep in the middle).

Okay lemme try to explain this

My friend and I came up with an AU (mostly my friend, they come up with all the good ideas) where A. The Apotoxin ages you less if you're older and B. Shinichi bails on taking Ran to Tropical Land, so Kogoro takes her instead and is the one who gets shrunk. Megure takes the place of Agasa as the one person who knows at first, and points out that Ran is now in danger, offering to drive her to Eri's until they can figure out what to do. Either by Megure's suggestion or happenstance/desperation (or both) Kogoro ends up asking Shinichi for help.

It's basically a role reversal, Kogoro hiding his true identity from Shinichi and ending up living at the Kudo mansion, both of them trying to track down the Black Org. (Honestly Kogoro being shrunk to Teen Size instead of Child Size doesn't impact a whole lot except them it being easier for them to chat/be friends. And no, it's not an excuse to ship them, I find that Gross. But I do like the idea that they become friends, more than they ever would've with Kogoro normally being an overprotective parent that refuses to understand Shinichi on a deeper level than "Smart aleck brat that steals my jobs")

#dcmk #detective conan #kogoro mouri #mouri kogoro #I like the fake name a lot #Chris (from Agatha Christie) Akechi (from Kogoro Akechi)#I like that I got to use the original inspo for his name #Also yeah he doesn't really look any different #But y'know. Suspension of disbelief ig #febkewary

idk how experimental you can say this really is for me but it's a new reshade and skin details so this counts <3 anyway yesterday i wrote down an idea for a short story and it's one bullet point and it says "a rockstar picks up a homeless hitchhiker in the 70s. something homosexual happens" and that's the whole thing. the rockstar 👨‍🎤

#finally. a successful sim attempt #ok maybe he kinda looks like frankie BUT #he's so pretty odd ryan ross coded.......#(now before you go making accusations against me......what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament)#he doesn't have a name honestly i don't think i was ever going to reveal it #it's a first person pov (his) and he uses a fake name #so idk. maybe he'll never have a name #unless it got fleshed out enough to be a novel idea instead of a short story like my short stories tend to do but whatever #ts4 #ts4 cas #the sims 4 #ts4 edit

dragonheart by charles edward pogue, based on his screenplay

#nimona #nimona spoilers #nimonaedit #ballister boldheart #r you guys picking up what i'm putting down. here. because i could also write a wholeeee wall of text abt the similarities between #this film & dragonheart. an essay even.#because it's like. ough. that line when the director kills fake ambrosius. ''may gloreth forgive you''#its about ballister being the only one other than her to use gloreth's name as a stand-in for ''god''#its about ballister trying to prove he's Devout. he's following the will of gloreth.#but then realizing. well. even if she's holy. he doesn't care about her forgiveness.#he only cares to save her monster/her devil. god. do you GET it.

Today I woke up and chose silliness!

(yes, the mood of my posts is all over the place but this is what you signed up for, it's literally in the name x'D)

This is another contribution to the silly rabbit au (by @cuubism ) featuring @magnusbae 's Dream in a hoodie.

#silly rabbit au #dreamling #well hob did say that he can fake is own death if needed but how many times will he have to do that? xD #at some point hob starts to attend his own funeral as a guest. and if anybody asks questions he's all like: no sadly i am no robert gadling #(/or whatever name he's been using) and i will miss that man dearly #(and he's speaking the truth because he's practically burying a life that he has built up. he's burying the person #he has been for past decades)#it's a slow process but hob starts to sprinkle the small but outrageous truths in conversation and let's others take it however they want t #he very inconspicuously adopts Dream's attitude and starts to play along with Dream's misleading truths #and then he starts to spin the tales in different directions - derailing Dream's stories #and THAT'S when the chaos really starts xD #why make dream's storytelling easier when he can twist it and basically fight fire with fire right? :DD #also. don't listen to me im just shitposting here

Skybridger Week Day 2: Mistaken Identity (this one is... not as well executed as I wanted it but I don’t have the energy for something long sooo)

Luke points his blaster at the intruder. The man looks only slightly inconvenienced; his fingers twitch like he wants to reach for a weapon before he reconsiders.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Luke asks.

The night is dark and the alley they’re in, three houses down from the one Luke is waiting to approach, is even darker. The man, who slipped into the alley in a hurry, nearly bumping into Luke as he did, is close enough that Luke can make out his face in the dark.

"Jabba the Hutt," he answers with an unsettling grin.

Luke huffs, trying not to look amused. "Wow, Jabba, you look good considering you’re dead."

The man blinks, almost brightening at the comment. "Well, sometimes death doesn't really stick," he supplies cheekily.

"Who are you really?"

"Fine." His demeanor turns serious, but his eyes don't. They glint dangerously. "My name is Luke Skywalker, I'm here on very serious Jedi business. Top secret. Super dangerous. Can't tell anyone."

If Luke had more sense, he thinks he would stun this liar now. But this is… a unique opportunity. And there's something charming about him (Luke can practically feel Leia smacking his head, lecturing him about not playing along with criminals because they're charming or attractive). Still.

"That's impressive," Luke says, lips curling towards a smile. "But how can I trust you?"

"Well, I have one of these, don't I?" He pulls a lightsaber hilt from his belt and, oh, that makes things a lot more interesting. Was it his or did he steal it like Luke's identity?

Unwisely, Luke lowers his blaster. "I suppose you do."

Something in Luke wants to play this out. Besides, the Force would warn him if he was in danger, right? He doesn’t feel any ill intent from this stranger.

And, after a moment, they have bigger things to worry about. There's a clatter of noise from down the street that attracts both their attention.

"Karabast," he swears under his breath. "They're here."

"Who's here?" Luke asks, wide-eyed. There are two dark figures approaching the house Luke was guarding and now he feels ill intent. Whoever they are, they're the threat he was waiting for.

"Inquisitors," He says, moving already. "Stay out of the way."

Luke watches, frozen for a moment, as the man pulls out his lightsaber and twirls it around. So that answers the question of whether he stole it or not. Definitely not.

“Following me, again? I don’t know why you’re so obsessed with me.”

The Inquisitors pull out their lightsabers and start in on him.

“You know what we’re here for,” one growls. “Leave now or die.”

“Heard that before,” he scoffs back. “And yet, I’m still here. Not as powerful without the Emperor behind you, huh?”

Lightsabers clash, and Luke watches for a moment as the man fights off two foes at the same time. And then Luke charges.

“What are you—” the man cuts off when Luke wields his own lightsaber, eyes wide for a moment. (Luke can’t help enjoying surprising him.)

“Helping.” Luke supplies with a grin, parrying a blow. It only takes a moment for them to start fighting in sync, ending up back to back as they hold off the Inquisitors.

Just as quickly as it starts, the fight ends and the Inquisitors are down.

The door to the house whooshes open, Leia runs out, baby in arms. “What the kriff, Luke?” she whisper-yells. Truly her most terrifying form of anger. “You said we’d be safe here.”

But Luke can’t really focus on her, his eyes caught on the stranger who seems to be here to protect his nephew just as he is. A Force user. An interesting one—a handsome one. And one who is going through a series of shocked emotions.

“Luke? As in—”

“Yeah,” Luke grins, before Leia snaps at him again. “You are safe, aren’t you? Threat neutralized.” He smiles his best smile as Leia glares. “Go back inside, Lei. I don’t think anyone else is coming, but I'll keep guard. We’ll talk in the morning.”

Luke leans in to give her a half hug, making sure not to crush his nephew. He feels Leia’s tension melt away, just a little. “Ben’s safe,” he says softly. “No one’s going to take him.”

Leia finally agrees with a nod before she disappears back inside.

“So. Luke Skywalker,” the man hums, his gaze appraising. From the grin on his face, he approves.

“And you are?” Luke matches his grin. “Don’t tell me—it really is Jabba?”

His smile turns a little sheepish and he lifts his hand in a wave. “Ezra,” he finally says, and Luke can tell he’s being honest. “Ezra Bridger.”

“Oh.” Luke blinks. “I’ve… I’ve heard of you.” Everyone talked about Ezra back in the Rebel Alliance, and he’d worked with General Syndulla before. He didn’t know much, but he knew enough.

Ezra nods, a little impatiently. “Yeah, yeah. Not dead, disappeared for a while, now I’m back.”

Luke raises an eyebrow at all that. Something to unpack another day, maybe. “Well, I hope you plan to stay.”

That seems to surprise him again and Ezra grins sharply. “Is that an invitation?”

“It could be,” Luke decides, voice playful. He doesn’t know what he’s doing. It feels a bit like he’s about to jump off the edge of a cliff, but he likes it. “It does seem like we’re on the same side. I wouldn’t mind a partner.”

“How about, when all this is over,” Ezra waves around vaguely, meaning something between the bodies they need to deal with, the night they have in front of them, and the explanations they owe each other. “We start with a drink?”

His smile and response are easy. “I’d like that.”

#skybridger #skybridger week #ezra bridger #luke skywalker #look ezra never outgrows using outrageous fake names #he's absolutely going around the galaxy telling people he's luke skywalker #abp fic

When in doubt, and without access to your tablet, scribble some gijinkas on the back of calendar pages, and edit the ones you liked the most. Worked for me!

With Pepperman's brains, brawn, dashing looks, incredible talent, silky voice, tactical prowess, quick thinking, and Vigilante's great amount of explosives, surely they'll defeat that rascal together!

Okay, maybe these were all just an excuse to adapt the blorbos to my anime-ish style.

Pizzahead and Noise would shoot a puppy in the face.

Funmy how I ordered the images so that it looks as if Mister Stick is looking at- Uhm. Uh. I c. Uh. ... I can explain.

Peppino Spaghetti is so babygirl to me. I wish Italians were real!

#[cracks knuckles] hoo boy let's go #pizza tower #pepperman #vigilante #does anybody use the tag ''vigilante'' outside of the funny cheese man?? i should probably check #peppino spaghetti #fake peppino #still hurts my heart to call him that. you know what. new headcanon. he's just peppino. they are both peppino.#i mean. two people can have the same name! ... and face! even if one of them looks like he's made of dough!#gustavo #pizzahead #the noise #noisette #mr stick #yes i subscribe to the headcanon that noise's weird hat is rodent ears. sue me for being based.

Karen has four older brothers and this is Ross! He's the second oldest and he looks rather polite and smiles a lot and when he's at work he can behave most of the time... but he really has such a foul mouth it puts Right to shame.

And Karen when she was a kid couldn't pronounce S's and they sounded like Z's. So when her brothers would be leaving for school she would say "enjoy zool" and just. Could NEVER say Ross's name correctly so he told her to just call him Oz. And it stuck but only with Karen. She's the only one to use it and no one else is allowed.

#my characters #also fun fact she has decided to legally rename him for when shes mad at him #so instead of yelling his full proper name #she will yell OSWALD THOMAS WILSON which is the fake first name but actual middle/last #and its just thats a guy that she wouldnt want to admit to knowing if she saw him in public #hes actually p short so yeah hes a short king #the oldest bro and the second youngest are both taller #the middle middle is basically the same height as him so karen really is just the wittle bab #and all her brothers are super protective of her bc thats their baby sister #she does however have a strong sense of I GOTTA PROTECT THE MIDDLE GUY #so she is kinda used to standing up for older guys just bc of he #but it comes into being a problem when she meets rick and is like fuck it he may be older but #he is too kinda for this world and also theres no way i can love him hes basically a baby brother #and she will pick on him but also would absolutely throw hands for him #and and i know the tags are long as is but eventually karen and rick move past the whole youre like a brother vibe #and they become very good friends - still zero romance involved - but she starts to treat him less like a family member #and it makes him feel less awkward and in turn he feels more open to joke sometimes #cause for a long while rick is just this is really awkward and i wish we would stop matching on dating apps but she wont leave me alone #so its rude to turn her down when she offers a friendly drink to check up on me #but its actually karen being protective older sister mode despite being the youngest of five #this is the most i have managed to draw in like two weeks i think #now im super tired bye

got my foobie to work! after opening him up i had no idea where to even start (so much different from a furby) but i wiggled the cogs and cleaned some parts, then as i put him back together i just expected to not get a response, which i didnt at first, but i saw that the batteries i put in were shifting so once i put them in right and held them in place, he woke up!! but before that i had to shake him a bit and i smacked his back a few times, not sure if that helped too or not.

he moves a bit languidly even with fresh batteries but i think that just might be the old parts. not sure what sensors these guys have but he doesnt seem to see light? says he doesnt see me repeatedly. feeding button didnt really feed him and the ear buttos arent working at all, but i didnt solder them on and they were just glued on so thats understandable

#furby #foobie #furby fake #video #also i used conditioner on his pelt while washing as i do with furbies but his turned out 10 times softer somehow #thinking about naming him silver. not sure #also lowered the volume on this because hes LOUD #just realized im he/him-ing most of my furbs but what can i do. theyre just little guys #i have 2 girlies then the rest are nonbineys and guys ig
