one thing i really like about the fionna and cake series - which also applies to the original episodes but obviously not with as much weight or relevance - is how the au characters aren't all just the same copy-pasted personalities of their ooo counterparts. this also goes for all the other dimensions they visit of course, but i wanna talk about our fionna's world in comparison to our simon's world specifically.
fionna is NOT finn. even though they're around the same age at this point they're different people shaped by different experiences and struggles. they're both sorta absent-minded thrillseekers prone to escapism, but while finn is hyper optimistic and has an innate desire to help/cheer up those around him (even if he doesn't always do it right), fionna seems a bit more reluctant on sympathizing with other people's problems, or at least it doesn't come as naturally to her, and even when she's focused her own goals she doesn't have the same drive. this is clearly a big part of her arc, but it takes a lot to motivate her to put genuine effort into things - even those that matter to her.
similarly, gary is NOT bonnie and marshall is NOT marceline.
like bonnie, gary is a huge nerd and a workaholic with attention to detail, but he's shown to have a lot less confidence in himself. he gets easily crushed by the disappointment of others, it embarrasses him to talk about his dreams and interests, and he's generally not very confrontational - in contrast to bonnie who's not only a monarch with a huge amount of responsibility on her shoulders, but also takes way more pride in her intellect and her work, and isn't afraid of voicing her opinions.
and like marceline, marshall is an extroverted smooth talker who uses art to express himself, and clearly has more baggage than he likes to admit, but i feel like the way he avoids his problems is noticeably different from marceline. while marceline tends to bottle everything up until she explodes (and isn't that good at hiding it), marshall seems more prone to distance himself completely from negative thoughts, as long as he can get away with it. like more of a "this is a problem for another day, i'll just ignore it and focus on what makes me happy right now" attitude. he also just seems to be more patient overall.
it's just really neat! like they've always tried to make the f&c counterparts feel different and fun in their own ways, but now that it's Their Show they obviously have to give even more depth to their identities, and i think it's been doing a great job of making us care about them for who they are.

falling asleep with hobie brown! (sfw)
huge thanks to @michelleart8 for helping me choose
huuhhh title pretty self explanatory lmao
idk if i'll make this with other characters but like
yea :3
(half fully written fic half headcanons ?) (yknow what i'll do both)
bit of hurt comfort towards the hug scene? idk
also reader and hobie are in an implied established relationship
(word count: 250/300)
Tumblr media
it was one of the many nights you spent waiting for hobie to come back home. with the two of you being spider people, you had a very few moments together.
but it didn't stop you from being in love.
coming home later than your boyfriend, or at least you thought you did, you took endless precautions to not make any noise. (which tbh doesn't make any sense tbh let's js say you're a quiet person)
just in case, you know, he did come home earlier than you...
the first thing that hit you as soon as you entered your appartment was that the window - which you often left open when you sleep so that your boyfriend could sneak in without waking you up - was closed.
you didn't pay it no mind as you thought it was the wind.
you headed to the bathroom to get into your pyjamas, where actually were one of hobie's old t'-shirts- which smell reminds you of home.
you then go to the kitchen to get a midnight snack, your all time favorite.
as you turned around, you notice the presence of your boyfriend.
"hobie? is something wrong?" you ask as you run to hug him.
he gave in the hug, shoving his head into your shoulder.
"so... tired... " he mutters, "glad i'm home..."
it was no surprise: the pressure of being a spider-person was extremely high. even though hobie tried his best to hide it, but even he needed to let it out sometimes.
(time for hcs bc idk how to truly describe the scene + it'll be easier)
i feel like he takes all the room there is on the bed like he'd be in some starfish position
somehow you're always touching him whether he's the big spoon or with your head on his chest or his arm around your shoulders
if you're scared of storms he would hug you close and confort you
"it's ok honey, it can't hurt you as long as i'm with you"
he plays with your hair when he can't fall asleep and wonders how non black people's hair work
if you're black/ a person of color he'd go like "ooo their hair is so cool :0
he secretely likes being the little spoon but he never asks for it
"ya can't sleep huh? want me to sing a sothing melody for ya?" (don't judge i have no idea how british people talk)
he always asks you if he can move if you're laying on him - if you're asleep he just doesn't
I KNOW HE WOULD CONFORT YOU IF YOU HAD A NIGHTMARE
"y'had a bad dream ? c'mhere i'll comfort you"
he braids your hair when he can't fall asleep
idk i feel like he only feels at peace in smalls moments like this when he's with you
also when the two of you can't sleep he plays you songs on his accoustic guitar (idk i feel like he's been given one when he was a kid and that's how he started learning)
maybe holding hands under the blankets? also you conforting him after a very tiring day he'd have his head on your lap and he'd fall asleep like that
he probably pushed you out of the bed more than once
"what the fuck are you doing on the floor??" but then he'd know it's his fault and js laugh about it
that's all i got for now i think i'm v tired atm i'll probably edit this later or do a part tO but like xdd hope you enjoyed ;3

Pls more on Gsd bucky 🙏
oOO BABY. german shepherd/dog coded bucky is everything to me, i can't be normal about it, idk what's happened to me.
i am currently almost 2k words deep into a proper oneshot for this so i don't wanna get tooo in detail because i'm sure i'll cover it there but! here are some cute lil things!
the obvious: he's german shepherd coded because he's quick to bristle and become protective over the people he loves. he's literally like the guard dog at gale's side, all bark and bite, ever watchful. he'll happily curl up at the foot of gale's bed and keep watch all night, if that's what is needed of him.
shakes his head like a wet dog when he comes out of the showers, or on a day off at some nice lake, he purposefully walks over to where gale's laying to shake out his wet curls above him, canines glinting in the sun at the way gale swats at him, calls him a "damn dog!"
always bitey. bites gale's shoulders and arms as a sign of affection, even when they're around others because everyone just accepts that's john, no nefarious intent behind it, some of the others have probably fallen victim to his nips as well. likes to take gale's hand and bring it up to his mouth to gnaw at the joint of his wrist when he's antsy, or when they're bantering and he can't think of a retort.
translates to love bites on every inch of skin he can reach behind closed doors, leaving gale marked up anywhere that's deemed safe from prying eyes, dragging sharp teeth and nipping and tonguing and sucking until gale gets impatient with him, but they both love seeing the marks it leaves behind.
the biting also feeds his oral fixation, loves to gnaw on gale's fingers when he slides two between his lips before he flattens his tongue along them in apology, letting his eyelids go heavy, hollowing his cheeks out and playing nice. just has to get the energy out first, the excited nips and tugs, and then he goes obedient and gentle (or gale finds other ways to 'muzzle' him.)
probably gets very mopey and sulky and clingy when he's sick or hurt, like a dog that wants pity and attention, glued to gale's side (even more than he already normally is.) there's definitely been at least one occasion where he's crawled into gale's bed late at night, whining about his stomach hurting, rolling onto his back in a silent ask for a tummy rub or soft kisses trailed from sternum to belly button.
i will never get tired of talking ab this i swearrrr, i've just never seen a character so dog–coded and i'm gonna have such a hard time not letting this oneshot run into the five–digit–wordcount territory lol <3

Alrighty then! Ima go for it! Believe it or not it is neko based. But, with a male y/n to be exact lmao. The quirk being Cat: The user is given cat like ears and tail, however they are givin feline like instincts that they can’t necessarily control. But the user is aloud to transform into a house cat, and can look like their natural hair color. The user can only meow in this form, they can’t talk like a human duh. The user has cat like senses, being able to hear very well, see in the dark, and have really good balance. The user can talk to/ attract felines alike mostly house cats as they seem to be the most popular in Japan. They are known to be flexible, and have balanced landing. And oml that is heckin long look i just copied and pasted from the last time i wrote about this quirk i hope you can forgive me. 😔 But anywho, i can just see Aizawa being absolute friends with this chad, like maybe y/n is a therapist to kids because he can literally comfort them due to his quirk, or just like a detective of sorts because of he can turn into a cat and be an excellent spy. Im so terribly sorry if this is long, i guess this more of an idea giving thing, maybe some inspiration for ya? I wanna see what you come up with. I think it’s about time we get some Neko Dilfs in our lives. 😎 what do you think?
Ooo jejkdbfkd I haven't even watched that fricken program and I'm already thinking of chat noir 💀
But of course I had to make it cute and romantic <3 sort of
Masterlist <3
Aizawa x Male!Neko!Reader
Tumblr media
It was hard not to stare at Shouta Aizawa when you first met him. He was in his usual outfit, teaching his class 1-A and training with them when you had arrived at the training area, where the class was being held.
You had just been hired as a new teaching assistant because of your reputation as an underground hero, and their thoughts were that it would be best to have another underground hero to teach you the ropes.
He was standing there in all his glory, looking over the kids and making sure that they were making the most out of their training by giving them pointers and keeping track of their progress. It was so hot.
You tried your best not to fanboy over the poor man but you really just can't help yourself at this point. What makes it so much worse is your daddy issues, so this is kind of like waving candy in front of a kid and being like "Yeah you can only look, and you can't eat it. Have fun!", as if!
You were a complete simp for this man, and you always have been since you first heard of him.
He had taken some time out to train you alone in both the physical and mental areas of being a teaching assistant, and his very few complements and praises stuck in your mind like glue.
"I see... A cat quirk, huh? I'll tolerate you because cats are my favourite animal, -but only because of that."
That was a complement in your eyes, at least. He likes you! And he acknowledges your quirk!!
As of right now, you're halfway through your training and you've gotten pretty close to your mentor, though you've told him nothing of your dream to meet him, or of how much his mentoring really means to you. You both regularly chat and you pride yourself on even having made him laugh on some occasions, though he has absolutely no clue how much you admire and crush on him, and he never will.
At least, that's what you think.
In reality, Shouta Aizawa is a much smarter man than you give him credit for, and he could tell from the get-go that you were crushing on him, and hard. He had grown a soft spot for you in the time you've gotten to train and work together, and he had grown to love those twitchy, fluffy little ears of yours, and he wanted to pet your tail so direly, because this man is just an absolute sucker for cats.
He could also tell you had some rather substantial daddy issues too, from your aversion to part from him and your inferiority and abandonment issues, along with your constant need for validation. He found it very, very amusing that you thought he couldn't tell.
As you sit down with him in the faculty room, alone, you have to physically restrain your tail from patting happily against the sofa, your eyes, pupils as wide as the iris itself, avoid making contact with those of your hero.
He chuckles at your shyness despite that fact that it's been almost half a year now since you've met, and the two of you, along with the entire class, have been through thick and thin together and bonded like superglue.
Why were you so shaky around him all the time?
He sits with his legs crossed, an arm slung over the back of your couch and behind you, making you almost quiver as you keep averting his gaze out of sheer embarrassment at this point. He had grown to truly respect you and your accomplishments, knowing about your past with providing free therapy for kids.
That was one specific thing that caused his respect for you to increase dramatically when he first heard about it though, especially since it hit so close to home. His students have been though so much already that most rookie, full-time heroes haven't had to deal with yet, but somehow none of them classified for therapy? Or could even get it at a reasonable price? It was a longstanding struggle that Aizawa had fought long and hard against for his kids, yet he didn't have the power to do anything more for them until you came along. And you did it for free?!
He knew that he wouldn't have much trouble getting along with you at least, since your moral standpoints seemed to allign quite nicely.
He turned out to be right, although somehow no amount of psychology training could help you resolve your own issues, apparently.
"Why are you so tense all the time? 's not like I'm about to drag you to the nearest dark alley and threaten you for spare change. You need to relax"
All he receives in response is a shaky nod, and that's when he gets fed up, taking your chin in his hand and tilting your head towards him, forcing you to make eye contact with him. Your pupils are blown wide with love and adoration, much like that of a real cat, and your left ear twitches slightly, prompting him to pet it as he leans in to press a peck to your lips.
You freeze. It was like you had been struck with Todoroki's ice, because you could only sit in shock as your long time crush kissed you. He's just so dreamy and hot, and you can't stop your cheeks from going bright red again.
"I-... I-... S-so..."
"Let's date."
You nearly faint.
You can't help but ask if you're dreaming, and this only ilicits a low chuckle from the dark haired man which has your knees and heart weak, and as you look back at him and take the sight in fully, your little heart skips a beat. You must be the luckiest guy in the world right now.

-
Smoke: Woah I can't believe your- woah.

You: Fuck that. I can barely get through one fight in these shoes.
-
You: Why change up my destiny? Why not make Johnny happy with his second wife?

-
Shang Tsung: Well well, this is certainly a change.
You: Don't worry, you're still the king of costumes you fucking snake.
Shang Tsung: You wound me dear.
-
Shang Tsung: It's a shame you chose to work with these imbeciles-
You: Don't even bother trying to manipulate me. I've been in Hollywood long enough.
-
You: At least I'll look good, at least I'll look good-
Shang Tsung: What are you mumbling? Don't be afraid to speak up. I don't bite- hard.
You: THESE HEELS MIGHT HURT BUT AT LEAST ILL LOOK GOOD BEATING YOUR ASS
-
Shang Tsung: It's curious the way your people worship you, for music alone…
You: You could always give it up and come a musician instead of the whole ‘murdering everyone with souls’ thing you do.
Shang Tsung: Hahaha, you truly are an entertainer aren't you?
-
You: Let's get this over and done with.
Shang Tsung: So eager to meet your demise?
You: Had a long concert today- kinda wanna go nap.

So… probably TMI, but I'm a fencer and between that and a bunch of other things I have pretty much unforgivably fucked up one of my shoulders with accumulated injuries (ranges from mild persistent awareness to WHy is picking up this water bottle Ouch). Which gave me Thoughts regarding mercenary/soldier Hob Gadling carrying around and doing battle with (significantly heavier!) Actual Medieval Longswords and etc. I see a lot of stories where Hob has knee pain which makes sense but. Chronic Pain Shoulder Crunchy Hob. Could turn into something sweet with Dream helping out (but also has bonus angst potential because I know if I fall asleep on that side wrong it Fucks Me Up Extra for a week or two at least).
Ooo I actually really love this anon, I too am a Crunchy Shoulder person. I have a severe scoliosis so shoulder n back pain is my area of expertise.
I've always secretly headcanoned about Hob having back pain because it just makes sense (even if he's immortal and invulnerable to lasting injuries, I can only imagine that standing up and walking around for 600 years would be terrible for the back?!) and also because I like making him suffer.
I like the potential for Dream helping with the pain too. In canon, maybe he runs Hob a nice hot bath with Epsom salts, a traditional remedy that Hob still loves. And maybe he makes himself weightless so he can cuddle Hob in bed without putting any painful pressure on the sore bits of his body. And I'm also always a sucker for a massage au - chiropractor Dream, maybe?!
I wish you many pain-free days dear anon. If I write any more back pain!Hob fics I'll be sure to link them here. In the meantime you might enjoy 'you and me and the pain - together' which is a recent ficlet I wrote on this subject.

ooo prompt time!! maybe “if we’re going down, i’m going with you.” or “if you insult them, you insult me.” with timkon?
"This doesn't look great," Kon observes.
Tim lowers his binoculars. The flotilla of invading spacecraft in the valley below are primed to attack the alien village on the other side of the hills within the hour, and help from offworld won't get here until dawn. Which is significantly more than an hour away. The village hardly has anything to call "defenses", and no troops to speak of other than farmers and their kids, untrained and armed with pitchforks.
"Yeah, not great," Tim agrees. It's a pretty apt summary of the situation. Fucking Slag conquerors. "I get the feeling they aren't gonna be interested in baseball this time, either."
Kon snorts. But the levity in his face is belied by the tension running through his body; his shoulders are tight, his jaw squared as he stares down the gentle slope from their hidden observation deck down to the ships. He looks remarkably like Clark when he's serious, when his eyes turn stormy and protective.
Then he turns his gaze to Tim, and an invisible touch ghosts over Tim's lower lip. Tim belatedly realizes he's been biting it so hard he's very close to drawing blood.
"Don't do that," Kon murmurs. The stormy look hasn't diminished, but it's warmer, when he looks at Tim.
"Right." Tim is hard-pressed, just for the most fleeting of moments, not to reach for him; he yearns, for an instant, but he doesn't, because there's work to be done. Like the alien death trap at the bottom of the hill. "Well. I might be able to disrupt their local lcommunications array, if I can just get my hands on one of their computers. That might buy us some time."
Kon nods. "And I can definitely wreck some shit to distract them while you do that."
A brief pause, as they survey the Slag ships. They've got heavy enough artillery that even with Kon's formidable powers, the odds are looking very... not great. A little flutter of anxiety thrums through Tim's stomach, not at the idea of dying here himself (though he doesn't love that either), but at the idea of losing Kon. If he takes it on himself to go out in a blaze of glory and hellfire, just to save one little farming village on a planet far from their own...
As if reading his mind, Kon clears his throat. "Look, Rob... I can just go in and break a lot of shit solo. That'll still probably buy enough time. You don't have to go in on such a risky one with me. I can drop you back at—"
Tim whaps him on the head. "Stop that. You know I'm not hiding and letting you go in alone."
Kon shrugs, a slight, rueful smile playing about his lips. "Hey, worth a shot. Since we're about to get shot at. A lot."
Rolling his eyes, Tim folds his binoculars and clips them back to his belt, then reaches over and takes Kon's hand. "Yeah, well, if you're going down, I'm going with you."
This time, Kon snorts. "And sugar, we're goin' down swingin'," he sings, squeezing Tim's hand.
Tim surprises himself by laughing. Honestly, it shouldn't be a surprise; Kon always makes him laugh, even when he least expects it. "I'll be your number one with a bullet," he sings back. "A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it."
As one, they turn to look back down at the flotilla below. The Slag ships sit ominously on the dark valley floor, a blot of light where none should be.
They better survive this, Tim thinks. It'd be really stupid to die now to a squadron of the same alien conquerors who they beat at baseball years ago.
"You know, I always thought that line was 'a load of god complex'," Kon admits, stroking his chin with his free hand. "Like, the whole thing was a dick joke and a gun thing, and also saying, like, hey, get a load of this guy and his god complex!"
Tim snorts again, unable to stop himself from grinning despite the gravity of it all. "Only you, Kon."
"Fall Out Boy is unintelligible!" Kon defends. His thumb strokes along the base of Tim's, rubbing a circle through his gauntlet, and Tim glances up at him briefly to see him smiling again, though the set of his jaw is no less resolute.
Tim loves him.
"You ready for this, clone boy?" he asks.
"With you at my back?" Kon returns. "Always."

We always talk about rise, what are some of ur hcs for yandere 2012 or bayverse? (Or both)
Feel like these two iterations need some more Yan attention <3
Ooo! I don't always talk about Bayverse or 2012, but I don't think there's much to touch on for 2012 that others haven't already covered. But for Bayverse? Hooo boy you've come straight to a Bayverse Fangirl, so I'll give you a select few of my Yandere headcannons for them.
I personally think Leo's the most insufferable yandere out of his four brothers to deal with. Not only is he authoritative, He's not the best leader nor team player. And how he treated his brothers in the 2nd movie speaks volumes. You can only imagine how suffocating and restrictive he can be with his own darling. And he's not afraid to be harsh on his darling if need be, and in most cases, his lack of empathy towards his own darling is probably the worst part about dealing with him as a yandere.
Bayverse!Donnie as a yandere.. is a little difficult to contemplate. On one hand, He'd be the typical tech-stalker yandere type, but I feel like there should be more to this. He could easily be the yandere who lures his darling in with a false sense of safety, thinking he's this harmless adorable dork. But after a while, his darling grows to learn that there's more at play than what meets the eye. And the closer they are to learning the truth about his nature, the more nervous he becomes, the more maniacal and possessive side he tries to contain starts to show. By then it's probably too late to escape lmao
Mikey, as always, is kind of the baby in the family. His brothers act like he's a nuisance and all, but they'd do anything for him. So all in all, he's the quickest to bring his darling to the lair for a family introduction. He'd probably latch onto his human darling much quicker than his brothers, choosing to be more open towards humans, and oftentimes embracing their lifestyle at an attempt at being normal like them. He'd be a pretty chill yandere, and the least likely to dish out harsh punishments to his darling. I can't say the same for Raph however..
I find Bayverse! Raph to be awfully boring in some fics, and kind of repetitive sometimes. I hate it when he's the basic emotionally stumped bad boy of the family. For me, I see him as someone who acts out of his well-hidden paranoia and would often worry for his darling. He's surprisingly the most likely to end up adopting some kid and having a platonic-yandere dynamic with them.(But I digress, as my older brother/father figure Raph can be saved for another day) He would try his best to be a kind yandere, but his gruff facade makes it hard for both him and his darling to communicate. And where communication fails, impulsive violence doesn't. The last thing he'd do is try to hurt them though. He is the most overprotective one out of his four brothers after all. He secretly cares deeply for his family, and their togetherness as a whole (partly why he bickers so much with them) and when he kidnaps his darling, that same love will extend to his darling as well.

Hi. I need your opinions on the lotr musical cause I feel just a little crazy about this musicals iteration of Sam (in a good way I promise)
Ooo please tell me more about Sam! He's my favourite!!
Okay. My LotR Musical opinions:
(Please remember that this blog is not connected to the show and not sponsored by the creators haha)
"Now and For Always (Reprise)" should have been included in the final West End version or at least brought back for the Watermill production. It's so beautiful and heartbreaking.
Laura Michelle Kelly changed Galadriel's lines in the Lothlórien scene, and these changes provide much needed context and improve the flow of the dialogue massively.
Actually, lots of lines are extremely clunky. I'm surprised that the script and the Elvish bits weren't updated for the revival. Kudos to the Watermill actors for making the book work surprisingly well, good job!!
Making Pippin a girl was a wonderful idea - there aren't that many female Tolkien characters, so why not simply change that? It's a lovely continuation of this show's tendency to create more roles for women: Gildor > Elránien, and Glorfindel being played by a woman. And also: "The Road Goes On" sounds absolutely gorgeous with Amelia as Pippin!
It's extremely annoying that the original productions are remembered first and foremost as financial flops. The show ran for 20 months in total and was nominated for five Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical. It was expensive, yes, but also incredibly innovative. The sheer scale of it, the massive ensemble, the rotating stage with more than a dozen lifts, the circus skills involved (silks, stilts, etc), there has never been anything like it on a theatre stage. It's unfair that this show is reduced to its lack of financial and critical success while other flops that had shorter runs are treated with respect. LotR has always been special.
I'll keep this very short, but most people have no idea how adaptations work. A stage adaptation needs to change and exclude plot points, it can never put a book on stage. The LotR Musical draws in audiences who aren't too familiar with theatre, and the worst takes on this show come from those who've never spared a thought on stage adaptations before.
Happy to talk more about these ✨️

since i've spent the past few days essentially staring at nothing but natsuyuu volume covers i thought it'd be so fun and silly to try and redraw them all from memory tee hee. all 30 (thirty) (三十) of them!!! wheee!!!!
i haven't actually looked at them next to the originals yet so guess what time it is!!!! LET'S COMPARE
starting with volume 1. iconic. show stopping. masterpiece. the mona lisa of natsuyuu SURELY i reproduced every single detail perfectly such that it kickstarts my career as a forgery artist RIGHT
well feast ur eyes
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(im using the english volumes for comparison btw they have a good clear view of the art)
CAN U TELL WHICH IS WHICH OOO THEYRE SO ALIKE BET U CANT!!! SPOT THE DIFFERENCE LEVEL 1000 WHICH ONE DO U SHOOT
all i remembered for this one was GREEN and it's not even the right shade of green ajgosugdjfkdgj i even made the fuckin. what do u call it. i'll just say yukata??? I MADE IT GREEN AND ITS SUPPOSED TO BE RED i stg if u held a gun to my head & asked if there was any red on vol 1 i'd be DEAD
but i remembered the book of friends is like. weirdly purple? ok well in this pic it looks p gray BUT ON OTHER COPIES...... IF U UP THE SATURATION GKSJKDNFKDG
why is nyanko sensei smack dab in the middle HUH i couldve sworn he was bottom left this is so fucked up and scary. haunted manga volume??????? i bought it from a grarage sale idk you guys-
at least natsume's pose is like kind of right but also that's most definitely a complete accident i can ASSURE u (im rereading this the next day and the pose isnt even CLOSE what are u TALKING ABOUT)
anyway can i just fucking point out the kanji on the book of friends bc that is from MEMORY YEEHAW here's what it's Supposed to look like: 友人帳
LIKE even tho i got the last one wrong ITS LIKE STILL PRETTY CLOSE??? i think i deserve 100 points for this objectively
MOVING ON THO....
Tumblr media Tumblr media
OK NOT AS BAD AS I THOUGHT SURPRISINGLY im actually like. i thought i bombed this one completely but liKE THE COMPOSITION??? KIND OF ON POINT. KIND OF GENIUS TBH
i remembered Blue and Madara and like what else do u need rly. butterflies are optional in all scenarios imo
also i NEVER have any idea what natsume's wearing in any of these so i always just like default throw him into his school uniform LMAO u will see a pattern
why is the book of friends burgundy in this one btw. it was GRAY i mean purple definitely purple aha
ok volume 3 im actually scared for i know i fucked up SOMETHING
Tumblr media Tumblr media
HGLKFKGLKFKGFN OK!!!!! OK NOT SUPER AWFUL!!!! just noticed i forgor to color the book of friends fukg
main thing i remembered abt this one was the color of natsume's... attire.... and which characters were present. whats sensei doing all the way up in the top corner tho 0/10
return of the school uniform lmaooooo hm. irrelevant who cares plus didnt ask. all things considered this wasn't as bad as i thought. THE NEXT ONE HOWEVER,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
hsngjfgnfjn okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
sensei's way cuter in this one than i realized wait wtf this cover's cute af how did i never notice. underrated cover -10 @ me. look at his lil BLEP >:O!!!!!!!
i knew there was some fuckshit going on w the yukata in this one ourhg i was just like hehe greeennnn also sensei's there. my work here is done
what is natsume's pose even hgnkg i was straight up making shit up at this point LIKE the first 6 or so covers are SO hard for me to distinguish in my head i should get a free pass for the poses in all of them like i can do whatever i want IM the artist now
oh god whats next vol 5
Tumblr media Tumblr media
OK!!!! like a straight 5/10 TBH i literally forgot i was planning on rating these LMAO
i remembered the like white v-neck shirt thing and his pose kind of??? i had NO idea what to do for the yukata tho i just made it orange and u know what?? close enough. my rule of thumb is just like pick a color and then throw flowers all over it u cant go wrong
taki looks so much more mysterious on the original and also wearing a skirt. i gave her a big stick bc i thought i remembered her having one in general but i think i made that up tbh wouldn't put it past me. got her hat right tho hee haw
cant believe i didn't get natsume's beautiful artwork tho look at that little shit sensei up there god hes so ROUMD literally moma material
Tumblr media Tumblr media
PROBABLY my best one yet uhhhh but i maybe cheated JUST a little for this one ITS LIKE BARELY CHEATING STOP BOOING ME
as i was toying w the idea of doing this redraw thing i was still working on collecting my Images and Pictures so i kinda started taking note of a few small things here & there and one of them was just. the general gist of this cover SO LIKE that's why it's so good LOL
forgor the flowers tho. i literally forget everything that isn't a character like immediately BUT OK CUT ME SOME SLACK like after a point the covers start being whole ass scenes which are SO much easier to remember shit abt than the fuckin Green Void (p sure this is the last green void cover tho)
8/10 composition is gr8 but details like the shirt & the yellow flowers are wrong, also the stick is backwards. i literally looked up what that thing is called and forgot already tee hee
Tumblr media Tumblr media
OK WE'RE NOT DONE W THE GREEN VOID I REPEAT-
fuck dude. fuck. i rly thought vol 6 was the last one LOL not to spoil but as i was grabbing these images i saw a Preview of what's to come and the green void lasts until fuckign volume TEN LOL collapses onto the ground and dies
so erhermrm this is vol 7 lolllll i remembered the bg flowers this time can u believe hahaha distracts u from the fact that LITERALLY everything else is wrong auhghg
u know what the green void turned into bushes and i think that's beautiful.... like points for creativity on my part tbh. like to be completely honest. 3/10 i got the characters right
Tumblr media Tumblr media
YO????? GATE CONFIRMED LET'S GO?????? it's definitely the school gate but i choose to believe natsume & tanuma r in jail for crimes and u should too
actually this is shockingly accurate for how much i goddamn struggled w this one gkjsldkg the CHARACTERS are right the OUTFITS are right SENSEI'S THERE urgh i knew one of these covers had tanuma holding sensei like that but i couldn't remember Which
i can't believe i actually got tanuma's pose that close i rly thought i was bullshitting w that one wtf. +5 points instantly
do u like how i just scribbled sensei wherever lmaoooo i drew natsume & tanuma & went like. i think sensei's in this one. PLOP
6/10 honestly closer than i thought
Tumblr media Tumblr media
OK........ I SEE........ literally dies
this one i was getting MASSIVELY confused w vol 4 bc i could remember nothing distinct abt either of them except Green and natsume w Big Doggie
i remembered the BARE essentials of the composition but not much else... since i thought the green void was gone i put the green i remembered into natsume's yukata (and then put him in the school uniform again LOL) and went WELP. GUESS I'LL DIE NOW
2/10 honestly one of the worst fucking ones lskdjflsdkg
Tumblr media Tumblr media
OK THIS ONE.... i almost died irl trying to remember this shit, even before i started and i was still viewing the covers i was like there is no way in HELL im remembering this shit for vol 10. and i was right
like. Purple. White Mask. Antlers. WILD layered clothing. at first i drew the mask as an actual deer skull but later had a straight up epiphany and redrew it like that which... still not correct but I MEAN.... IT'S PRETTY GOOD
i cant believe most of the purple is the bg oughgh his clothes are WHITE..... this is fucked up. i DID remember the stick tho, bells and everything!! actually bells and nothing else!!!
7/10 ok it might seem high but CONSIDERING this design..... i think i did shockingly well TBH
Tumblr media Tumblr media
NOT...... the worst...... one....... i could've sworn he was sitting on a pile of books this is so sad that woulda been so cute 😭
for a second when i saw the real cover again i thought he was sitting ON the bookshelf and i was about to RIOT but its okay it's a step stool. still physically possible
my version of natsume here is so much more like Proper gksld he looks like a school boy... studying in the academy's library... hardworking student.... but no the real one is just sitting there like a wet puppy orz he's not even READING i rly thought he was reading. this is such a huge L
cannot fucking believe i was right abt the window tho. like wrong shape but the fact that it's even there.... giving myself a whole ass point for that one
5/10 i rly thought i nailed this one gksgndfkj
also RIP TO THE GREEN VOID U WILL NOT BE MISSED o7
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ah shit ok. well one of them was in the school uniform at least fjgugjdkf
why is my natsume lying there like hes abt to start a therapy session, boy would NEVER-
also the plushie hmnmhnmhngnf i dont KNOW i knew there was some kind of prop there but like gun to my head i woulda died again. main colors that stood out to me for this were green and that bluish purple so i got those into mine but i mean. well u can see
once again a random window in the bg i got correct let's gooooo 5/10
Tumblr media Tumblr media
LMAO SPITS OUT MY DRINK WHOOPSIE!!!!!!
this is so fucking bad im choking im gurgling LOLLLL i was SO sure natsume's paper had an eye on it i was POSITIVE this is so fucked up. i mean obvs i picked that up from sensei but like i didn't even KNOW sensei was there. or that there were bg characters at all uuuuuououohghh (matoba ignored +5)
i was like. black yukata red flowers CHECK piece of paper w eye CHECK horns CHECK i even went back and edited the horns to be more accurate i was so proud of myself sobs
ok but i knew it was shit trasjh when those were the ONLY details i could remember bc obviously there was gonna be more going on I JUST DIDN'T REALIZE HOW MUCH MORE.....
straight up dookie/10 no jk fr like 3/10 @ me u need to use ur EYES
Tumblr media Tumblr media
OK..... I WAS VERY CONFIDENT ABT THIS ONE..... except for his outfit i knew i was bullshitting that BUT I THOUGHT I NAILED THIS ONE....... the one fucking time i didn't just default to his uniform LMFAO
even remembered the pink flower ball smh and for WHAT. i knew he was sitting in a pile of plushies & blankets or smth but no way in HELL was i even gonna attempt to draw them with a speck of detail. but HEY the plushie i drew for vol 12!!! i knew he existed Somewhere. he doesn't even have a horn tho thats so fucked up i thought he did
obviously the most striking thing abt this cover is the bg w that deep burgundy & the circular window so that was the main thing i nailed down right away (my palette was more muted tho). also natsume sitting there w paper in his mouth but i thought he was mid return when rly hes playing like keep-the-balloon-off-the-floor or whatever the fuck he's doing. i love u natsume
(if i thought he was in the middle of returning a name WHY didn't i include the actual book of friends flksglkd automatic fake fan/10)
8/10 this was like my ace in the hole i was like if i got nothing else i got U volume 14!!! and then
Tumblr media Tumblr media
NOT THE FAMILY PHOTO......... FUCKING DIES
man idk shit just end me. whats even going on in this cover im gonna deck u natori. dont ask why this makes me want to commit violence hes just so. URHGHGHnH
i dont know whats happening to me rn looking at this im losing my fucking grip dude who let this happen im gonna hurl this volume into the sun??? i think???
why did i add the other two youkai i just thought they should be included but i played myself i had to draw them from memory and for WHAT. pls tell me i got them at least a little bit right i stg
it's the crossed legts dude if he was just sitting there like a board the way i drew him id be like ah shit it was just natori sitting not natsume too but he just HAS to cross his legs and the fucing elbow propped up holding the glasses im S MAD IM SO MADdestroy him
it's 1am i gotta go. i have to go. right now my mom is calling me i have to fukcng. 4/10 i got the couch colorr right. bye
---
tumglr...... only allows 30 pictures per post..... bc im not on desktop? or is that a site-wide thing now. in any case this is getting long so i think im gonna split it right down the middle into 2 posts so there u go, first 15 volumes. so far my score is ermmm
well i didn't rate the first few volumes.
vol 1: 6/10 decent
vol 2: 6/10 also decent
vol 3: 5/10 composition is Scramboled
vol 4: 2/10 it's SO BAD
so now my overall score is 74/150 fjggudjofjdkgjk doing gr8!!!!!!!!!
ok bye for real ✌️

can I request a grumpy x sunshine with Jason? also, can you make it smutty? thank you so much<333
I've been having a week. I'm slowly getting through all the fic's and requests. Here you go bestie. I've also never done an intentional Grumpy x Sunshine, so hopefully it's fine.
The Garden Party.
Warnings: 18+ only. Smut, public, swearing, Tim cameo, thigh riding 1K Words.
"Why the fuck is it so hot out?" Jason's grumbles to Tim who's lazing about on the other side of the gazebo
"That would be the sun," Tim replies, "and the fully black outfit in the middle of summer," laying his hand over his eyes.
"I hate it. Gotham isn't supposed to be hot. It's meant to be rainy and cloudy, always."
"So you dressed for a funeral?"
"With any luck, I'll die before this party starts. Don't wanna have to change."
"Hey," Tim says when he sees you approaching, "I'm going to go get some lemonade. You want some?"
"You're sweet Timmy, but no, I'm good," you smile at him, skipping your way over to Jason, "thanks, though."
"Hey," Jason groans as you sit atop him, your hands hiding something behind you back, "what you got there?"
"I made you a present!" You beam, pulling the twined together flower crown of lavender and daisies from behind you and plopping it right in his head. "Do you like it?"
"Its nearly as pretty as you," he hugs you, "does it match my outfit?"
"Not really? But you're pulling it off." You wink, adjusting it so it sits more in the centre, "like a dark fairy king."
"Fuck," Jason groans, "here come the kids," he starts trying to hide himself behind your body.
"Why don't we go for a walk then? It's a pretty day! And I wanna see the rest of the garden."
"Fine."
Jason leads you through the garden while you ooo and ahhh at all the pretty plants. Wondering if maybe you should get more house plants to fill the tiny apartment you and Jason share. He's so keen to stick knives and guns on all the walls, but has yet to object to any of the color you try to add to the gloomy space.
You're almost at the edge of the path when you notice just how badly he's sweating through his shirt. "Jay," you pout at him, "I got a rock in my sandal." Knowing that he's more likely to stop to help you than to air any discomfort he's feeling.
"Fish it out."
"No, it hurt my foot," you stop picking up your foot, pretending to inspect it. "Will you carry me back to the mansion?"
"Baby, it's hot. Can't you walk?" You shake your head, "fine hop on," he says, crouching down and letting you climb onto his back. The smell of his aftershave sweats from his neck, seeping into your nose and down your body. Sure, he was going to be sweatier, but at least you'd be inside soon.
"Jay, you're so sweaty," you joke, licking at his neck.
"Wonder why?"
"There's a bench here! Look!" You point to the large jasmine covered pergola. "Let's sit."
"Still going to be hot over there," he grumbles.
"Ooo, feel that breeze," you smile as the wind whips your dress around your knees and exposes your severe lack of underwear.
"No pants, baby? That's a dangerous game."
"I live for the danger."
"No honey," he smirks, sitting you on top of him, "you live for me."
"Jay, what are you?" You tilt your head to the left as his kisses travel down your neck, "that feels so good," you start to jerk on uim.
"Quiet, don't want someone to see you," he says, taking your lips on his to shut you up, "Ride me, baby, I need you to cool me down."
I'm going to wreck your pants," you mumble into his mouth.
"Do it then," his hands land on your hips, guiding you over his thick thigh as you grind down onto him, "so pretty,"
"Jason, it feels so good."
"I know, baby."
You lean down onto his shoulder as you press down harder and rub your clit into that thick thigh your high only seconds away. The way he's staring at you almost in reverence as you fuck yourself on him. "Mouth, hand, I ah-" he plasters his hand over your lips as you cum, silencing the screams you usually try to hard to let out for him. Your body a sweaty mess as you come down and fall into him.
"My turn," he hoists you up a second before freeing his cock and slipping it inside you. Your legs fanning even wider over his as the skirt of your dress hides what you're truly doing from any watchers. You've never been more thankful for his huge hands, the cry of his name muffled by the strong fingers on your lips.
"Lean your head on my shoulder," he says, pressing you close, "I wanna hear those little moans you got for me. Just be quiet, ok?" He releases your mouth, moving his hands to your hips to guide you.
"Jason, your dicks so big" you attempt to whisper, "and it's filling me so full,"
"Atta girl, now keep those pretty sounds just for me," he slowly thrusts into you. To anyone else, it would look like a couple sharing a quiet moment under the jasmine arch, but the slow fucking is bordering on torture. His pelvis grinding into your clit, while his cock fills you and his mouth kisses at your neck. Fuck, you're getting close again. Those soft grunts of his like heroin in your veins.
"Seeing you in this dress all day has been driving me mad."
"I thought you were always mad." You joke though your voice is more lusty than laughter, "all that scowling."
"I was," his fingers grave along your exposed back, "all I wanted was this and all those fuckers kept getting in the way."
"I love you, Jason,"
"Me too, baby, now be good and cum again."

So what exactly happened to magic man to make him end up magicless? Well he had a run in with the King of Lost Things after managing to anger him, which isn't an easy thing to do (More Story info beneath the cut).
With this I wanted to make a piece somewhat similar to how the title cards are for Adventure Time, minus the actual title. Whether I managed that goal or not, I'm not completely sure, but I like how this piece turned out so :)
Now for more detail on the story stuff:
So because Simon is not only a King, but a King of a lot of different species, he's had a few people ask for refuge that had been changed by an encounter with a being they called 'Magic Man'.
After around a century with the occasional mention of this 'Magic Man', Simon decided to look into it and see exactly who was messing with people.
Their first encounter wasn't exactly good, Simon tried to reason with Magic Man but all he did was get his attention. Simon left after giving Magic Man a warning to stop messing with people, but Magic Man had other plans.
Magic Man appeared in the Lost Kingdom to 'have some fun'. He was hard to get rid of, he eventually left on his own, but not before doing something that really angered Simon.
He used his magic to make a bird, a lyrebird in shape, but physically made out of very old video tapes. Tapes of himself, Betty and Marcy, before Betty became an oozer, before Marceline found the crown, tapes that Simon treasured very dearly.
Simon was pissed, but he wasn't stupid. He wouldn't rush into making sure Magic Man got what he deserved. He laid out a plan and gave Magic Man one last chance to make things right before he went through with it.
Magic Man refused, so Simon went through with his plan, somewhat.
I'll save the details for another post, but in short, Simon opened a portal to the nightosphere in Magic Man's house (destroying not only the house but also the Martian transporter in the basement) and dragged Magic Man there.
At the end of it, Magic Man was now Normal Man, and would have been Soulless Man had Simon not relented at the last second. Simon left the grievously injured Normal Man in the remains of his home, taking the picture of him and Margles as one last kick while he's down.
After Simon left, Normal Man was left without his madness and sadness (well still some sadness, but at least now it was manageable). He dealt with his injuries the best he could and ended up heading towards the Lost Kingdom. Even if it was dangerous, he needed that picture of Margles.
When he first showed up at Lost Kingdom, he wasn't trusted, but since Simon felt bad for how far he pushed things he was allowed to stay if he worked for his keep (though he was also on thin ice and near the beginning almost always had someone keeping an eye on him).
Eventually, Simon did give back the picture and released Normal Man from his duties, but Normal Man had grown accustomed to how things were and for the first time in a long time, even made some friends. When he asked to stay, Simon allowed him to, and over time the two grew closer until Normal Man turned into Butler Man.
In present Ooo they're good friends and as his butler Simon trusts Butler Man a lot, even enough to manage the trials for the Enchiridion (which will be explained in a future post).

First post!
My friend and I have started to write a collection of Lockwood & Co. one-shots, below this text is one I have wrote. I'm happy for some suggestions of what I am to write next (they don't have to be Lockwood & Co.). Whenever I write a new story I'll be posting on here, and on Wattpad. (Wattpad user: Emily-JT)
Word count: 1671
Lucy x Lockwood
Tumblr media
A few minutes before, I had been forced by George to get his favourite biscuits (Jammy Dodgers) from Arif’s because he had been too lazy to get his precious behind off the lounge, normally I would politely tell him to ‘go jump off a cliff’, but I had decided against it as Lockwood was sitting in the lounge room reading when George asked and politely offered to come with me. Lockwood had been pissing me off lately, not just from his stupid smirk but also the fact that he always jumps into things without thinking. This leads to how Lockwood and I ended up getting into a little bit of a dispute.
We were walking down the pathway that connects the businesses beside us to the ongoing traffic when Lockwood abruptly stopped in front of Arif’s, we had been bickering the whole walk. 
“Why does everything I do seem like the end of the world to you? Honestly Luce, I’m just trying to help. If I didn’t ‘jump’ into cases, like you say, we wouldn’t be a company anymore” he rolled his eyes, “If we took every precaution we would be just as stupid as those Fittes kids-”
I cut in “But those Fittes kids are successful, Lockwood, they don’t live in fear of debt all the time-”, 
“So what you’re saying is that you want to leave again, is that it, Lucy?-, I was taken back by him calling me Lucy and not Luce, “I’m trying my best and if that means that I have to ‘jump’ into things, then I will take it. Don’t you realise that everything I do is for you…” he took a long pause, “for George, and for Holly.” I take a deep breath. “So that's it?, that's all you’re going to say?. I’m so sick of you starting to bicker with me at every chance you get, to just stop when I’m correct.” he yells, loud enough for the whole street to hear. 
“Fine, if you really want me to go I will.” I yell back at him and storm towards our home. A few seconds after I walk away I hear some mumbling from him but I decide not to walk back over to him as it would cause more of a scene.
“Lucy, dinner!” I hear George yell at me. Dinner is what I have been dreading. I don’t want to see his stupid smug face pretending everything is ok, when It’s clearly not. 
“Lucy I swear, If I have to wait one more second!” George yells again. I get off my bed and walk down the staircase, as I reach the second floor I see Lockwoods door open with a warm light inviting me in but I continue down the stairs and into the kitchen. As I step into the kitchen I am greeted with Lockwood sitting at the head of the table like usual.
“Ooo heres the girl everyone has been waiting for” The skull twists his ectoplasm into a stupid face, “what’s wrong now, boy problems?” I ignore the skull’s remarks and pick him up regardless of his protests, I drag out my chair slowly staring at Lockwood while I do it, I place the Skull on my chair, twist the lid shut so I don’t have to hear it’s teasing and walk over to the chair opposing Lockwood and sit down, Lockwood raises an eyebrow at me and George gives me a stare. While we’re eating I exchange dirty looks at Lockwood, he ends up looking anywhere but me when I look at him for too long.
“I don’t wanna be in the middle of this, can you at least just talk normally during dinner and start staring at each other when I’m gone?” George says, killing the complete silence.
“I’m not doing anything until he apologises” I snap maliciously, my voice getting slightly louder.
“Are you kidding me, you want me to apologise?” Lockwood matches the tone of my voice, “I’m not the one who decides to complain about everything I do, I’m not the one who decides to be petty and switch their chair just to stare at me all dinner. I’ve had enough of this!” He gets up from his chair making it screech loudly, leaving his dishes on the table and walks out the door. 
“Great going, Lucy,” George grumbles, I get up just like Lockwood and walk out the kitchen leaving George with the mess. 
I hear footsteps climbing the staircase and a sudden stop at my door, I groan. “Luce?... Could I come in?” I hear Lockwoods voice call out from the other side of the door.
“Ok.” I say coldly as I adjust myself to sit on the end of my bed. I hear my door open slowly and shut, his feet climbing the stairs that lead up to my room. As he gets to the landing he stays there standing still.
 “Hi.” He says in a serene voice.
 “Hi.” I reply quietly as I look up at him. 
He then begins to speak again, “I had thought about our… discussion just now and realised that I was being unfair to you, I get that you were worried about me but you don’t need to be. I can manage myself.” He said sincerely, still it made me frustrated but I didn’t let that take over as this was just how Lockwood apologised.
“I know.. But you saying that doesn’t change anything-” He takes a seat next to me on my bed and looks straight ahead instead of at me,”I care about you and I-I don’t want you to end up like Norrie.” I look at my best friend's photograph on my mirror.
“I know..” He replied quietly looking at the ground, then back at me “I won’t end up like that, I swear, Luce.” He takes my hand reassuringly and gives me a slight smile although I can tell he feels sympathy for me.
 My heart feels like it’s going to shatter like a porcelain doll, I know he means it… I do, but even if he does, it doesn’t mean that he won’t end up like her. I can’t bear the thought of him being like that. “You say that, but don’t make an effort to change, George told me-” he butts in, “whatever George told you doesn’t matter,” I look at the floor “I’m telling you that I won’t end up like that.”
 He looks intently into my eyes, “Luce-” he squeezes my hand “please, look at me”. I look at him expecting to see his ‘I’ve got this handled’ expression, but instead he looks truly worried; his eyes flickering up and down my face. 
“I know you miss her.” he breaks the silence that fell between the two of us, my eyes start to tear up so I look back down to the floorboards; tracing the intricate details with my eyes.
His fingers unlink from mine, I think I did something wrong, instead he moves his hand to my cheek and makes me look back up at him. He starts to speak again, his eyes never leaving mine, his hand still resting on my cheek “I get what you’re feeling, more than anyone in this house” he says softly; his eyes piercing every fibre of sanity I have left, I feel myself slowly lose control; I start to cry, my sobs silent. He doesn’t waste a second to pull me into his arms, his head resting atop mine.
“You’re okay…” he whispers to me. My head is buried into his shoulder, I can’t stop crying. All my emotions that I’ve been carrying for quite some time now pour out. It's as if I have no self control when I’m in Lockwoods vicinity. 
I hold my sobs back and pull back, I go to speak but he doesn’t let me, “Feel free to hold a grudge against me, I get it. I just want you to know that when you joined Lockwood and Co., my life actually felt worth it. I feel so selfish for suffocating you like you can’t have a life of your own, I was so utterly terrified of you leaving me- when you did it felt like my whole life collapsed, I didn’t have you to fill in the emptiness of the home-” he started to ramble on, “ of course there’s George, but you know how he is in the morning, I can’t say a word to him without getting glared at. 
“Lockwood-” my hand made its way to his, “I promise I won’t leave you, if you promise to not end up like Norrie.”
“You promise” he says in a voice, just barley louder than a whisper
“My solemn and binding promise.”
“You’ve got to be kidding me” George groans from the hallway, I look at Lockwood, and he looks at me, Holly seemed not to have noticed George as she swept the floor. Lockwood and I are both slightly confused at what George is going on about but we end up going back to what we were doing before: me, writing down groceries we needed on the thinking cloth, and Lockwood making all four of us tea.
George makes his way through the kitchen doorway and drops a newspaper on the table right in front of me. “You two really need to keep your stupid bickering to the house, as much as I hate it-” Lockwood cuts him off,
“What are you even going on about” he retorts, clearly annoyed at George’s tone.
I read aloud “‘Dispute between two Lockwood & Co. members. Will the company's biggest asset, Lucy Carlyle, be leaving the agency again?’”
 Lockwood snatches the paper up and reads through it. “They finally got my name right!” he exclaims, “no more of that bloody ‘Andrew Lockwood’ nonsense” he says in a mocking manner.
“Bloody hell, Lockwood, that’s what you’re worried about?!” George exclaims. I can hear Holly snickering in the background, I can’t help but raise my eyebrows at Lockwood.

okay so i’ve been gone all day so i’m finally posting my fionna and cake initial thoughts. and since i’ve seen only a few people talking about my second favorite alternate finn, i’d thought i’d share the big thing i was thinking about during episode 5.
how the fuck does farmworld finn have that many kids???????
so i’ve always thought that farmworld and ooo operated on parallel timelines, and the show seemed to follow this too, but literally how does a 29 year old have a dead wife and a preteen kid, especially fw finn, who i seriously doubt was mentally and emotionally ready to start a family so soon after the crown was destroyed. so unless the show changed its mind and farmworld is suddenly farther in the future than ooo, i have no idea how fw finn has such a big family (cause like. the show clearly wants us to think that they’re all biological kids as opposed to adoption).
let me share my initial theory for who jay was. when i first saw him i thought he was going to be little sibling.

i mean. the years match up perfectly here, so i have no idea why they went with the option that completely messes up the timeline.
also to clear up a misconception the flashback at the beginning is almost definitely during the year ice finn spent alone freezing people (between jake the dog and crossover) before prismo's meddling destroyed the crown in the nuke, so that part holds up at least.
i could be missing something that makes all of this make sense. i'll probably rewatch this episode tonight if there's any info i missed i might add it idk

Ch. 1 - Killer on the Loose
Tumblr media
Summary: There has been a recent string of your murders in your small town. Everyone, including you, is freaking out. You and your friends stay close together, as time goes on the murders get more and more closer to you and the people you know. Soon you find out that the killer is who you least suspect and everything is not what it seems. You find yourself in a situation that you never thought would be possible, how will it end? CW: death, bestfriend!steve, bestfriend!eddie, flirting, swearing. STORY BASED IN 1994!!
You are handed a paper rather roughly as the girl handing them out speaks something too fast to comprehend as she moves on to the rest of your friend group handing them the same paper. You hold the paper up reading it, the latest edition of The Hawkins Post. You sit down as your heart sinks, Billy? Yes, he was an asshole, never to you directly because he was always trying to get into your pants. It was too close for comfort. You were getting really worried. He killed Chance from the basketball team last Wednesday.
Tumblr media
Eddie, your friend, notices you tensing up. He puts an arm around your shoulder. "You okay?" He asks worriedly. You turn to face him, "did you not read the paper?" You ask, looking back down at it. He shakes his head. "I tossed it as soon as she gave it to me. Why?" You hand it to him, looking down. "Oh, shit, Hargrove, that's a tough guy to take down, got my ass beat by him junior year," he says with a light laugh. You snap your head towards him. "Don't laugh! It's not funny, I'm really freaked out. This killer is slowly infiltrating the school. Anyone of us could be next!" You say fearfully. His eyes turn soft, "you won't be next, plus the killer only kills guys. I should be shaking in my boots," he responds playfully.
Steve comes up behind you, placing the paper down, making you jump slightly. "Woah, you okay?" He asks sitting down on the seat next to your friend Stacey. "No!" you speak, looking at him, then back down, fiddling with your fingernails. Eddie sighs and looks at Steve. "she's scared the..." he looks back at the paper. "Ghostface is gonna get her," he tells him with smug in his voice. "ooo creepy, it is a little unsettling. I'm mean, the victims were members of our school," Steve says putting his arm around Stacey.
Eddie sighs shaking his head, "you're not making it better" Eddie says rubbing your back soothingly. "I mean she has a right to be scared, I sure as hell am" Stacey peeps looking up from her book. "Billy was a strong guy, he was killed, we are little sheep we have no chance" Stacey finished looking back down to her book. "Hargrove was also an asshole" Eddie speaks, you gasp and slap his chest. Earning an 'oww' from him, "he's dead dummy! Don't say that" you exclaim shaking your head shooing his arm off from around you.
He puts his hands up in defense, "sorry guess you don't have to worry about it sense he's been trying to fuck you since the 7th grade meanwhile I've been tortured by him since the 5th" Eddie replies making Steve throw a pretzel at him. It smacks Eddie right in the forehead making you laugh a little, Steve high fives you. "You guys are both dweebs now I must be going, you gonna be alright?" Eddie asks you standing up. "Yeah I'll call you after school, 'kay?" You respond he nods kissing your cheek before walking off. Nancy walks in and sits down with a huff.
"You good?" Stacey asks her, setting her book down. "Yeah stupid work stuff and project stuff" Nancy replies not wanting to talk about it further. Stacey nods, "so about Billy is that all the details you have?" You question, "uh no, we know more but you guys cannot tell another soul it's confidential" Nancy exclaims. You nod eagerly, she sighs before speaking again looking around to see if anyone is listening in. "The reason they are calling him ghostface is because he wears a mask that resembles a ghost, and he's about 5'10 but that's really all" she shrugs as if it's nothing. You sit there stunned as if a killer wasn't scary enough a masked killed that is damn near twice your height!
"A mask? What the fuck" you exclaim rather loudly, Nancy cover your mouth. You lay your head down on the desk and groan. "What's up with her" Nancy asks, "she's scared the killer is after her next" Steve tells her nonchalantly. You snap your head up, "there is a killer on the loose who brutally stabs and slashes throats, he wears a fucking ghost mask, and is 1000 feet tall, who is targeting students of Hawkins High!! I'm fucking terrified" you squeal putting your head in your hands that rest on the table.
Nancy rubs your back, "I'm sorry if I made you more scared, if it makes you feel better he's only killed guys so far" Nancy speaks looking at Steve for him to agree. "Y-Yeah and assholes... apparently" he says agreeing. You sigh and pick your head up. "Sorry that I'm so on edge, i mean there is a literal serial killer in Hawkins it's really scary" you tell them with a smile. "It's okay, sweets" Steve assures you rubbing you arm.
Eddie walks by briefly, "hands off Harrington" before running off laughing. Steve takes his hands off shaking his head. "He is something else" Nancy says playfully. "Oh yeah Nancy I wanted to ask you why do you guys use black and white when you can use colored pictures?" Stacey asks pointing to the paper, "boss says it's gives a more eerie vibe, we use color for certain things" Nancy replies.
"Yeah Nance its 1994 not the stone age" Steve chimes in laughing. Nancy mocks his laugh, "take it up with my boss, asshat" you snort at her comment. Steve hold his hands up in defense, "woah there wheeler watch yourself" he says no real threat behind his words. Stacey pokes his sides. He looks at her and smiles giving her a kiss on the bridge of the nose making you fake gag.
As the day went on you started think way too much, like how Billy died, how it was in his house, how he fought and still lost, how the killer didn't even wait a whole two weeks to kill again. It wasn’t helping that everyone was talking about it. All you heard in every class, Billy this, Billy that. It was horrible.
When you finally get home, pulling in the driveway and sluggishly walking into the house. As you toed off your shoes your mom enters the living room. She tells you that she is enforcing a new curfew which is honestly useless since he strikes in the victims homes, but you didn't argue with her. The curfew was 9:30PM and if your not gonna be home she needs to know. You agree and walk to your room getting changing into some comfortable clothes. You hear your phone ringing from the distance, you jog to go get it from downstairs, once you answer it there is music blasting on the other end. “Hey! Baby!” Eddie exclaims through slurs. You sigh, “are you drunk” you ask knowingly. “Pfft me? Drunk? Nah, just chillin” he says trying to convince you, which is not working. “Where are you? Is Steve with you?” You question knowing how he gets when he’s drunk, and he needed a babysitter. And who better to babysit than Steve Harrington. “Stevie here… Stevie! Our girl is on the phone!” Eddie calls out to Steve. “Here say helloooo” he laughs. Steve takes the phone from Eddie, “hey sweetheart” he says playfully. “Hey Steve, is he being good?” You ask, “yeah Eddie’s fine he’s just drunk. But we’re at my place so he’s just gonna sleepover.” Steve tells you. “Okay be safe boys, love you” you speak. “Love you too bye” Steve says as you hang up. You order pizza since your mom is at work and is going to be all night since she works graveyard shifts. After pizza and watching a cartoon you decide it’s time to sleep since today was utterly exhausting. As soon as you hit your bed, it was lights out.

OC questionnaire
Thanks to @willtheweaver here and here, @mk-writes-stuff here, here, and here, and @somethingclevermahogony here.
I did Robbie, Gwen, Maddie, Noelle, Jedi, and Kelsey here.
I did Carmen, George, Akash, Sam, Lexi, and Ash. here.
Doing Gabriel, Carla, Parker, Rose, Alex, and Ewan under the cut!
#1- Gabriel
Did you have any formal education? If so, what was it like?
“I mean, I'm still receiving formal education, so your use of past tense is strange. I never attended Ceteri school. My parents raised me to know that I was Alii, and they always planned to send me over to the Aequales once I received my powers, since they were in direct contact with them the whole time. Ceteri school was counterproductive, so I was homeschooled until then. I now attend school in Alium. I'll admit, I do like it. At least, I do more than homeschooling from my parents. Not that they were terrible, but I don't mind more structure and people.”
What is your stance on friends and friendship?
“I don't know you, so I'm not going to explain growing up with no friends. I don't exactly need them, but it was boring growing up with no one else. I'll admit I don't mind the others in the Aequales, as annoying as they can be. However, they are decent people I enjoy spending time with. Niri is pretty great, actually. Jazlyn still babies me, which is a little annoying, but I would be lying if I didn't admit she is someone I consider a friend. Robbie is a little annoying at times, but Akash keeps him in line. I wish Wade would do the same for Parker. I have no idea how it took until last September for Wade to punch him.”
How would you describe your relationship with your family?
“My parents are my parents. Why would I not respect them? I don't see them often, but I'm following what they want. I'm making them proud. I have a decent job. I'm contributing to Alium as a terrakinetic. They are proud of me. I don't want or need anything more than that.”
#2- Carla
If you could have one wish granted, what would it be? (No wishing for more wishes)
“I would like to bring my parents back. I'd like things to be normal again. Carmen to talk to me more. I'd like to know my cousin I never got to meet. Oh, sorry, this is more than one. Um... The war. Yeah, I'd wish the war never happened. No, wait, the cause of the war: the prejudice of Inutilia. I wish that never happened. I wish we could all get along. Then it would be good.”
What’s your favourite music?
“I really like the different cultural music of each of the Sectors - I have to say I love Sector 3's music the most. Stefanija Lauwers is also a Sector 8 singer I really love. But recently, Tyler has gotten me into a Ceteri genre called 'alternative rock.' I can't stop listening to it - I've never heard anything like it!”
What’s your number one warning sign that it is not going to be a good day?
“How I'm feeling once I've woken myself up all the way. My emotional state tells me how I'm gonna feel for most of the day. Sometimes I'm sad for no reason. And then that's a bad day. When George goes off to work and instead of getting something done, I just decide that I'm going to experience time as quickly as possible until I can get to when he comes back.”
More Carla: empty Bingo
#3- Parker
What’s your favourite snack?
“Me. Cause I'm a snack - hey-ooo! Come on, guys, I'm not gonna explain that joke to you. Honestly, whatever I'm hungry for in the moment. Changes day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second, nanosecond by nanosecond. Anyhow, I'd like some Cheetos.”
What do you least want to hear when you wake up in the morning?
“'Oh, my God, Parker, are you gonna sleep in all day?' No, Mom, I'm gonna get up when I want to. Also I don't want to hear 'Mrs. Holliday just emailed me about your attitude and conductivity problems.' Mom, the bitch hates me. Let me sleep, Goddamn.”
Do you have a nemesis? What are they like?
“Yeah, he got interviewed earlier. Gabriel hates me, and y'know what, he's a boring asshole. He's been a boring asshole for years. He's a stick in the mud, and he drives me insane. Jazlyn, my girl, best girl, my badass idol, likes him. How? Jaz, he's so boring! You're the least boring person I know! What, you knew him for a little longer so he's like a little brother for you? Do what everyone else does with their little brother: dropkick him. Light his hair on fire or something. I take back my last answer - the thing I least want to hear in the morning is Gabriel Medina's voice. Every single practice, he's like 'Cassidy, you're an idiot, Cassidy, you need to stop, Cassidy, you're too chaotic, Cassidy, listen to me.' Go shove a rock up your ass, Medina. Robbie and Akash think he's worthy of a cute silly nickname like Gills. How dare you. Why not nickname me? I'm much more fun than him.”
#4- Rose
What is your favorite beverage for a warm summer afternoon?
“I don't think I could consider myself a true Texan if I didn't say iced tea. Sorry if that's a lame answer.”
What is something that keeps you up at night?
“Insecurities. Hope that helps.”
If you could switch lives with any one you know who would it be and why?
“Lexi. Her family is great, she has so many friends, and...yeah. Lexi.”
More Rose: OC in three
#5- Alex
What’s your favourite flower?
“In Alium, there is no way that it's not the hahkosa blossoms. In Ceteri, purple asters, obviously. I am so predictable. Purple is just such a totally awesome color. I mean, no shade of purple is bad. Not a single one. Every other color? There's, like, one icky shade. Purple is just objectively the best color.”
Do you like parties? What kind?
“Uh, duh! I love parties! Who doesn't? I'll go to any kind of party. You could say I'm the life of it! I prefer going with friends, just because it makes it so much fun! Dances are awesome. Just vibing to the music with your besties. Cannot compare to anything else.”
Are you hiding anything from your friends (I promise the secret is safe with me)?
“Oh. Well, I guess that I'm not happy at all times. I try to be. I love making others happy. I feel like I may be abandoning what makes me, well, me. I'm happy. I'm Alex. She's the girl who is the life of the party, like I said. I can't be anxious! [Pause] haha, well, who am I kidding? This has been such a fun interview! Thank you!”
#6- Ewan
Is there someone that you look up to?
“Jazlyn, in both senses of the phrase. She's taller than me, but also, she's just...don't tell anyone this, but Jazlyn is the most important part of my life. She has this super confident demeanor, but she's actually reflective. More than she lets on. Not that she isn't confident. She's the kind of person who'd volunteer at a magic show. She sits in the front row every time. She's the smartest person I know. Sharp wit. Great at everything it seems. Blunt and harsh at times, but she is never rude. Badass at sparring. She's made me more willing to take risks and get out of my comfort zone! I can't imagine my life without her if she never approached me five years ago.... *clears throat* Oh my gosh I've been talking too long...”
Do you have any trouble falling/staying asleep?
“When I'm out, I'm way out. Cause I'm exhausted. But falling asleep? Man, my mind is on so many things. My next music composition, Jazlyn, what and how I'm gonna train Lexi, homework, band practice, Jazlyn, the manga I was just reading, wait--I said Jazlyn...*clears throat again* anyway my brain is so full at night.”
Do you believe in forgiveness?
“Oh, 100%. Not because I think the person is deserving, but I feel sick if I don't do it. I can't move on. Forgive. My life has other places it would like to be than in the past.”
