#at least not immediately

[atsadi-shenanigans]

Oomph. I’m getting very close to writing the scene that I started Feeding Alligators for. Astarion inviting Tav (Eleanor) for sex so he can secure protection, but Eleanor, in a brand new world and fully dependent on this group, is demisexual. And her entire experience with sex (outside of massive religious trauma/shame) is “had a friend then they wanted sex but I didn’t so they ghosted me” is now faced with THAT dilemna. And neither of the two realize what the other is asking of them, and the consequences of their choices.

😬

We’re uh, we’re gonna get angsty.

Ok like jack drake wouldn't be 'kill all queers' type of homophobic but you cannot tell me 90s canonicaly sexist jack drake wouldn't be casually homophobic the way so many people are. Hes the dad who casually drops a slur or makes a shitty joke and insists on it just being a joke if called out. Hes the 'im not homophobic but i dont wanna see that in public' type of guy who gets defensive if you call them homophobic but then says that of course hes glad his kid isnt one of those gays. Its a trend and a phase etc etc you'll grow out of it! Its ok

#Please there is nuance to these characters its not just either hes violently and comically an awful person or hes a great dad #Who did nothing wrong actually #Hes more complex than that that makes their relationship interesting!! #Jack drake sucks as a dad #Is he like. An evil person and the worst parent ever? No but he also isnt great #He loved his son but people who love u can hurt u lmao #Like tim coming out to jack wouldn't turn out like it does in most fics hes not a physically abusive dad #Hes not gonna kick him out but hes also not gonna hug him and be like thats great son! Happy for u! #At least not immediately #I do believe he could come around and be better about it. Its just not true to that character to say theres no way he was homophobic #Sorry for a vague rant post i just got annoyed that peoples reaction to like #The onslaught of fanon bad jack drake fics #Is to pretend he was great actually #The nuance! Where is it! #txt

“jason had a mean streak” fun fact actually just statistical error. jason was a 15 year old kid with major unresolved childhood trauma being raised by a man who failed to recognize jason’s childhood in favor of seeing him as the new robin, the next dick grayson, and his partner in crime-fighting. jason todd was a kid who wanted to stop bad people from hurting innocent people no matter the cost, and it’s not jason’s fault that no one was able to help him channel that in a healthier way.

#jason todd #under the red hood #utrh #dc comics #dc #i’ve been reading reaction articles from 2005 abt jason’s resurrection #and it’s interesting #i immediately liked jason. so it’s wild to me that so many comic readers from the time rlly didn’t like him much #and genuinely weren’t happy to have him back #at least not immediately

[ TRAPPED ] :  for  our  muses  to  be  trapped  somewhere  together  

( i had an idea for this, but maybe its mostly link that's trapped somewhere in the gerudo desert - and Nabooru isn't really trapped per se(?) but maybe watching what he does? i also don't mind if you wanna chat and discuss either if you would like? totally up to you though. 👉👈)

First Meeting Prompts || Open!

Nabooru always struggled to stay still. To remain in one place even if her duty dictated it. Years of rebuilding a settlement for their people, hours of toil and hardship beneath the harsh desert sun while enduring the harsh plummet of temperatures at night, meant she could find work around every corner, some task to set her mind, hands, and body to. Which meant finding excuses to leave the settlement were not difficult to come by, despite her leadership position.

And today, she thanked their gods for the good fortune of deciding to venture out into the unforgiving desert.

Nabooru approached the now uncovered chasm, their clever disguise of weakened flooring in some ruins giving way under the weight of an interloper. An amused, if not intrigued, smirk curled her painted lips as she peered over the side. Several meters down within the confines of the dusty, claustrophobic pit was no beast. Instead, a perturbed looking Hylian graced their trap. A pity, since it meant she would not be taking food back to the Gerudo, but a far more interesting catch.

" Seems like you've gotten yourself into a bit of trouble, " she called down, laughter tinging her tone. " You should count yourself lucky, though. This one doesn't have any skulltulas in it. Probably. "

Sometimes the only thing to do about grandiose hypomanic ideas that you are unlikely to ever be able to follow through on is to scratch the itch by allowing yourself to extensively plan them while also very actively not allowing yourself to try to follow through on them.

#at least not immediately #and yes this is about the hypothetical fandom event I invented last night #which I really want to just already exist so I can participate but the moderation committment would be fucking insane even with multiple mo #and I Can Not take that on right now #and possibly not ever #ugh #wish I could just be an ideas guy for more organised people who are good at this stuff

now that he's managed to dodge all his canon event trauma I think pavitr should get a running joke where he's just immune to spider-man luck

#like the spot throws him through a portal during a fight and he just so happens to land in a laundry basket full of blankets or something #and then peter b gets thrown through the same portal and goes flying past to crash-land directly into a dumpster #thats the energy im looking for #across the spiderverse #across the spiderverse spoilers #pavitr prabhakar #after some horrific shit: 'well... at least its not raining!' pavitr says. everyone eyes the sky in apprehension. it stays clear. #'yeah' miles says cautiously. 'i guess this couldnt get any worse.' #it immediately starts to rain

Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 4: Deranged Bedfellows

(Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.5)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #mdzs au #lan wangji #nie huaisang #Yungmeng Jiang training arc AU #This is the *first* part of what was supposed to be a much longer comic (LWJ's morning routine in full). #I'll finish the remaining part as a reblog to this post! I just think this is the funnier chunk. #Lan Wangji absolutely is the kind of person who has a perfect internal alarm clock for when it is time to get up. #He already has a dedicated sleep schedule. He is accurate within 10 seconds of 5am every day. #I think the Jiang disciples are most likely used to waking up around 6:00-7:00am #But the allure of having a guaranteed time keeper getting you up in the morning is worth the earlier hour. #I imagine they started outside lwj's door and slowly moved closer as the weeks went on. #Now LWJ has to cope with being way too warm in the night from all the extra body heat. #LWJ is not a fan of this but they scamper off immediately after he wakes up and they at least show initiative to follow routine. #NHS joins in only because he is a chronically heavy sleeper and needs this level of intervention to get up early. #His boldness would be a death sentence in the cloud recesses but here? Whole new game. #Yungmeng Jiang isn't a lawless land. It's just a land with different laws. #And one of those laws is to forcefully domesticate the catboy coded Lan boy through any means necessary. #Completely different tangent: I drew the thumbnail for this before I did comic 134. I then realized they had the same visual gag. #So I had to space this one out so it didn't seem like I repeated the waking up joke. That's my secret and all of you have to keep it. #And in my land the law is that snitches get itches (telepathically transfers hives onto your body)

I think that if Miles Edgeworth were to ever have a Tumblr blog it would be entirely Steel Samurai based with a carefully organized tagging system. He posts lengthy formally worded analysis about Steel Samurai and nothing else. He doesn't check his notes. He does check his asks, because they're kind of like emails. He has anon asks and dms turned off. Someone sends an ask about his interests outside of Steel Samurai and he immediately blocks them. He doesn't have pronouns or a name to be called by in his bio. The only hint about Edgeworth's personal life is that when he refers to the death of Jack Hammer or the conviction of Matt Engarde he only refers to Phoenix as "that man".

Maya definitely has a tumblr and it has a canon Pink Princess url. She actually hoarded a bunch of Pink Princess urls long before the character was officially announced because she knew she needed to have them. Her tumblr header is "the real pink princess ask sal manella". Her pinned post has these

[ID: Two blinkie banners. The first has a lesbian flag background and says "Pink Princess is canonically gay." The second is light pink and says "PinkSteel shippers dni". End ID] (thank you @princess-of-purple-prose)

Maya follows him and sends Edgeworth asks periodically. He thinks she's a wonderful conversationalist. He has no idea of her identity. Maya is fully aware he's Edgeworth.

#og post #highlight reel #Ace Attorney #AA #maya fey #miles edgeworth #steel samurai #Maya finds his blog and is imediately like 'oh this has to be Edgeworth' #like its mostly a hunch because he lets no personal info get out at all #but he's the only one insane enough to word Steel Samurai analysis like a legal document #or at least he makes comments that make a lot of sense from the perspective that it was written by a lawyer #she knows that if she tells him she found his blog he would deactivate immediately. she archives all his posts just in case #I don't know if he'd engage in the fandom I'm on the fence. on one hand it'd be funny and in character if he keeps entirely to himself. #on the other hand it would be really funny if he accidentally follows Maya. #y #hi. i made this post like a year ago and i am coming back to finish it #i don't know what that “y” was but im leaving it there #aasocmed

i'm surprised i haven't seen any text posts yet about the Unsubtle Differences between astarion’s tiefling party/high approval forest scene and the one you get after the goblin party.

there’s something so terribly interesting about how the conversation afterward plays out depending on which variation you pursue.

like, most people have seen the tiefling party version by now. astarion basking in the sunlight the morning after, playing off most of what tav says with relative ease, even when they ask about his scars and he tells them about cazador. his cadence is smooth and composed, his smile almost friendly, even though you know, as the viewer, he’s playing a game of manipulation at this point. the only real crack in his demeanor is if tav notices that cazador’s “poem” was written in infernal, which, understandably, startles him.

but recently i watched the goblin party version of this same scene, and everything reads so differently. unlike at the tiefling party, it’s still the middle of the night when astarion tries to leave, thinking tav is asleep—almost immediately after the act, in fact. when tav does speak to him, he’s visibly nervous, halting and stammering in the middle of lines delivered unflinchingly in the other version of the scene. he gestures broadly and fidgets more while talking, his smile comes and goes. there’s even some of his distinctive high pitched, fake laughter sprinkled throughout the exchange, almost identical to later scenes where he's very, very obviously uncomfortable (like if raphael mocks him and magics off astarion's shirt to show the party his scars in act 2, or when confronting the gur children in their cell in act 3, etc etc).

siding with the goblins represents something deeply familiar to astarion, a level of cruelty he's more than familiar with and embraces likely because cruelty and duplicity, to him, go hand-in-hand with the power and freedom he craves so badly—but he won't stay the night with this tav, even if he approves of their actions. no, in this case, he'll keep to what's familiar and attempt to leave them in the forest under the cover of the very same darkness he resents having been cast into by cazador. when he gets caught, it sets him on edge, and everything he says becomes such a blatant lie to save face that tav would have to be completely oblivious not to see through him, or maybe just not care enough to.

but if tav saves the refugees? challenges his worldview and comes out victorious? oh, he'll complain of the poor rewards for his trouble at the party and whine about it being boring, but he decides to stay with tav through the night while they're asleep and on past dawn. he takes a moment to enjoy the morning sunlight, returned to his life after two centuries without. the same is true if you have high enough approval that he asks before the party, in which case, you've almost certainly hit his biggest approval gains: trusting him and supporting his safety. maybe he doesn't trip over his words when he speaks because, well, maybe this is someone he doesn't have to worry about. someone who's already more than proven themselves a foolish, heroic sort with a bleeding heart or otherwise demonstrated that they're already in his corner. in other words, not a threat—at least not to him.

does any of this make sense. i wanna study this guy under a microscope.

#the text may be the same but the line delivery is so enormously different it HAS to mean something idk! idk! #what he knows best but doesn't quite trust vs what's new but seems almost safe seems like the differentiating factor honestly #at least in whether he decides to leave tav immediately or stay with them till morning #which in turn affects how he feels by the time tav speaks to him #not to rag on the goblin route but man #he seems. well. frantic when he gets caught trying to leave asap. #to the point where listening to him feels... pretty bad imo #i'd love to know if it changes his romance later on because that seems like. well. a rough start #astarion #astarion bg3 #astarion ancunin #bg3 spoilers #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 meta #sort of idk #long post

I really like that they made Jor-El speak Kryptonian and Clark unable to understand him. The whole "aliens speak English" thing that happens in every goddamn media has bothered me all my life. Ik sometimes Clark just gets zapped in the brain for insta-second language but that always felt like a cheap shortcut.

Jor-El had a lot on his mind when he set up that magic spaceship okay. The world was ending and he was trying to do as much as he could before time ran out so he could be there for his son. He was rushing. He likely didn't consider Kal would be raised with a whole different language and not know any Kryptonian nor have anyone to teach him.

#my adventures with superman #two talks #he still might get zapped with kryptonian but at least it wasn't immediate #let there be a language barrier #it hits home so hard too bc i barely speak my mom's language and can't really talk to my family members bc of iz #it* #that's what being raised on a different planet IS! It's isolating and sad bc that's your FAMILY and you can't even understand them #fucking love superman #clark is so close and yet so far bc everything he craves to know about himself is Right There #but he doesn't speak the language of his own people and has no way to learn #it's heartbreaking and i'm so fucking here for it
