UHMMMMM what if T4T labru

#only reason she probably wouldn't use they or neopronouns is cause I can't realistically see them used in that setting. maybe a modern au #I don't think she'd mind being called Laios. or King. #I think he'd like having long pretty hair that looks more like his mama :) #kabru is transmasc kui told me #dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi spoilers #laios touden #trans laios #kabru #labru #transgender #agender #my art #comic

merry Christmas klancers 🎅

#I did the whole happy holidays art and I was like yayyyy I’m done I did my Xmas art #but um everyone looked like they were having so much fun w Xmas klance doodles I had to get in #klance #Voltron #vld #art #my art #Keith kogane #Lance McClain #I scheduled this at 2am but now it’s out im no longer abt to pass out I can dissertate in the tags #anyway I think they’d both be pretty awful cooks #like realistically a klance cookie making situation would be like #both of them oversold their cookie making skills and ended up in a contest (hunks the judge) for who could make them best #but they’d both suck. burnt salty raw awful etc etc #and they’d be beefing so hard like they’d take it so seriously #but for the sake of me wanting to draw cute Xmas art #let’s just say Lance is the slightly less horrendous cook and can make some cookies #there is no world I can reconcile Keith with the kitchen #I just know that boy feeds off instant noodles and unseasoned jerky

I was just thinking that, if we do actually get amnesiac Jay, him eventually getting his memories back could be really interesting. Because obviously you’ve got all the great memories with his family and the people he loves, but at the same time just— the horrors. The guy has so much trauma piled up from over the years and I feel like that would be A Lot to have dumped on you all at once.

#like I get Ninjago is still a kids show so they probably wouldn’t lean into that angle much #or realistically they probably wouldn’t even acknowledge it at all #but I still think it’s a really interesting concept #like yeah of course you want the memories of your loved ones and all the good times back #but those also come with just so many traumatic ones #and we’ve seen before that Jay… doesn’t exactly have the best mental fortitude #when situations get really bad he’s pretty much always the first one to crack #like in hunted and crystalized #idk I just think it would be a cool angle to explore #ninjago dragons rising #dragons rising #Ninjago #ninjago jay #jay walker #dragons rising spoilers #dr spoilers #dragons rising leaks

momentarily breaking my silence to wonder aloud if it would be out of character for gojo to say something as stupid as 'if i was your husband i'd be too busy fucking you to die'. i personally would not put it above him but i also think he'd feel a little bad if it made you cry. just a little.

#on one hand it is pretty tasteless from just a realistic dialogue angle #but on the other i do not think of gojo as a creature who generally thinks #just like #at all #nobody: #no one: #gojo: rip your dead husband but i'm built different #personal

So uh. I might’ve found a pattern here.

From The Fellowship of the Ring, “Three Is Company”:

From The Two Towers, “The Uruk-Hai”:

From The Return of the King, “The Houses of Healing”:

Now I know Tolkien hated allegory. And I know LotR is not a copy-and-paste parable about WWII (which he didn’t fight in) or even WWI (which he did). But the man did see war, and so did people he loved, and he had a non-zero amount of trauma, and some of that is gonna make its way into his writing somehow.

And I think his soul might’ve had something to say about soldiers being forced to walk until they dropped from exhaustion.

#lord of the rings #lotr #honestly i think the first quote is the most chilling in this context?? #like the second one pretty clearly portrays the horror of those marches #and the third seems like a realistic best-case scenario: you walk until you drop and then a familiar and beloved voice wakes you up #but the first is?? almost desperately happy?? like he’s reaching so far to say ‘no i swear this traumatic thing could be beautiful and good’ #‘it could be good!’ #‘IT COULD BE GOOD!! I SWEAR’ #‘PLEASE JUST LET ME HAVE THIS’ #and you get this sense of desperation #like he wishes a tall and beautiful Elf was there to help him and the other exhausted young men up when they stumbled and fell #i dunno if i’m making any sense but it kinda makes my heart hurt #i feel like i’m peeking into an open wound in this man’s soul

i’m so funny

sometimes, i think about the extra bit of depth alex's romance is given when you date him as a guy and i just gotta. stare at the ceiling for a bit...

#i think his heart events are nice either way but like... there's some extra flavor given to when your farmer's a guy #like him admitting that the farmer is the only other guy that he can be vulnerable around #or how admits that he tried denying his feelings for the farmer at first bc of his own internalized homophobia #and probably some external homophobia too #since george will tell the player that he wasn't sure about alex and them being together bc of his own biases #but seeing how happy alex was with them makes him rethink his views #idk i just really like his heart events i wish ppl appreciated them more #i also think it's interesting to see the game acknowledge homophobia and how it'd actually affect the queer relationships in town #it's definitely nice that the town is pretty damn accepting especially a majority of the romance options' families #but it feels more realistic to have those little bittersweet truths mixed in there too i like it #sorry i've got sdv brain rn so i'm thinking about it a lot #stardew valley #mj.txt #tw homophobia mention #sdv spoilers

If it’s not too much to ask.. can we get a timeline for the lights out au?

(Not the full story, obviously. Just the bits of the timeline that have already been revealed. I just think it’d been nice to have a neat guide to it all)

oh for sure!

this is gonna be a little clumsy because I have a very bad grasp on time & also math. numbers suck and i hate them. but i Am trying to create a timeline, ill give you the Very basic, Very vague one

~~~~~

1972 / the show is cancelled, and the neighborhood is abandoned in the dark

1973 / Sally starts sleepwalking, Wally loses his eye

1975 / Wally starts exploring beyond the set

1980 / Barnaby loses his arm

1986 / The Divorce™️ happens

2007 / Frank wakes up

2013 / Poppy wakes up. Frank starts getting worse

2015 / Howdy wakes up. They barricade Sally in her house.

2016 / Eddie, Julie, and Barnaby wake up. Arc One ends.

~~~~~

aaaand not going into the other three arcs. the second is still nebulous, the third is soooo spoilery even though Does That Really Matter?, and the fourth is a mix of both.

sorry this isn't as in depth! aus aren't a high priority for me, so they're more like little side thinkings i tinker with when my main Interests start to get burnt out. keeps me fresh!

#but yeah thats the very basic timeline.... #about. what was that. 43 years??? #im purposefully making it shorter than the canon timeline to make the au feel a bit more... sensible #grounded? hm. #like in a 'the whrp is still a few years away so Its Sooo Realistic And Faithful Trust Me On This One Guys-' way #an alternate timeline events #< says the guy who doesn't know the timeline of events #thinking about this au wildly flip flops between #this is so fun!! im having a great time!!! yeehaw!!! #and banging my head against a wall a la what the Hell am i doing #but that goes for uh. pretty much everything i think about ever. so #rambles from the bog #wh lights out au

Jiang Cheng antis after the burning of Lotus Pier: hmm, well if MY parents and community were brutally slaughtered in front of me and I was traumatically thrust into a position of leadership of a devastated clan at like, 17, I would handle it super well?? and I definitely wouldn’t lash out at anyone (briefly) because I was angry and grieving, cause I’m not fucking abusive?? like sorry but some of us are built different 💅

#jiang cheng #canon jiang cheng #mdzs #cql #spoilers #the fact that people no joke hold his reaction against him is so wild to me #like tbh I think it’s a pretty realistic reaction sorry he didn’t shed a single man tear in the rain or w/e #like him crying for his parents was the moment I was like okay this character is fucking compelling #cause that’s realism baby that’s pathos!! #like there are some real questionable things jc does that y’all can absolutely critique 100% #but not instantly processing his parents’ death isn’t one

Imagine if the Eye had just refused to accept Jon as Archivist because he was like, colorblind or some shit. Assuming the Eye doesn’t just let Elias Know about this unprompted, I wonder how long it would take him to notice

#the magnus archives #tma #jarchivist #jonathan sims #elias bouchard #jonah magnus #realistically i think he’d figure it out pretty quick. but also. it’s so much funnier to imagine he just wouldn’t notice #like he keeps traumatizing jon over and over for no damn reason #and meanwhile someone else in the archives crew is like ‘why tf am i psychic now???’

how long did it take for greed to figure out ling is fifteen. people always joke about him realizing he's not legally old enough to drink, but tbh they're always talking about ling looking older than he is and I think the much more pressing issue with purchasing alcohol would be that ling doesn't have any legal ID. personally i think it would be very funny if greed didn't realize for ages and then ed turns sixteen during the camping trip and is like "haha what's it like being fifteen loser" and greed is like Excuse Me. What.

#fma #there's nothing quite like having to read extremely dry academic articles to make me write very stupid fma posts #this isn't the most REALISTIC option but it is the funniest #realistically he'd probably figure it out pretty quick #but god it's funny thinking about him realizing he's stuck in a teenager's body. hell on earth #ed is like that tweet about someone turning fourteen and calling their friend like what's it like being thirteen idiot #except greed is like hang on. you're telling me I can't legally buy cigarettes in this body? #and ling's like were you planning to smoke them??? #and he's like no. I just wanted to have them. and now I CAN'T #fma posting

Even if you don't agree with incarcerated people having access to education, monetary compensation for work, or whatever, I really hope you acknowledge that so long as you provide the state incentive to imprison people (free labour or whatever it may be), the state will continuously imprison people - especially for non-violent crime.

#politics #ask to tag (genuine) #same with the death penalty #like you can think certain people deserve to die for the henious crimes they've committed but that power should *not* belong to the state #see also: expanding the definition of crime that USian politicians are wont to do #like you see people desperate to expand what is a crime - such as providing trans healthcare #like yes this is a complex issue but also... i just can't get behind the state having that ability #i do not trust that there will not be overreach because see: the united states' LONG history of overreach to an *excessive* extent #this is very much in the context of being an american but also i believe this regardless of that context #(it's just that american politics quickly changed my tune) #(like i used to be pretty pro-death penalty until i actually started thinking about it and started actually being realistic about it) #(because yes maybe some people deserve that outcome for their actions. but the US has proven it CANNOT handle that power) #(you don't have to look that far into the history of the death penalty to realize how egregious it gets)

there is something about the way that dick approaches damian in Batman and Robin (2009) and the way bruce approaches damian in Batman and Robin (2011). where it's very similar: both are not exactly prepared for this, are frustrated with damian, doubt their own abilities to be what he needs but feel responsible anyway.

but it's different...in 2009, the responsibility is on dick to change, to gain damian's respect--which is how it should be, because dick is the adult and damian is the child (10 years old. that's a fourth grader) who is in his care. vs in 2011, the responsibility is more so on damian (the fourth grader) to change, to gain bruce's respect.

Batman and Robin (2009) #2

Dick: Who's gonna save him if we don't?

vs

Batman and Robin (2011) #2

Bruce: I'm afraid of what Damian could become without me around.

and

Batman and Robin (2009) #1

Damian: You can have my respect if you earn it, that's all I'm saying. You're not my father.

vs

Batman and Robin (2011) #4

Bruce: If you don't respect me, you won't ever respect yourself.

Damian: Do you respect me?

Bruce: If I can't trust you, I can't respect you.

screaming and dying and screaming forever

#two more notes. 1. i think this makes sense with bruce's parenting style. this is in character to the extreme #and its not his worst parenting and it's pretty realistic. However makes me insane when ppl talk about his good 2011 parenting ff #2. it also makes sense with damian's ultimate storyline being the racist 'wayne good vs al ghul bad' thing. ugh #makes sense ie i understand why its written that way and it sucks shit. fuck dc #damian al ghul #dick and damian #anti bruce wayne

natsume soseki did not say "don't say 'i love you', instead say 'the moon is beautiful tonight, isn't it'" FOR NONE OF YOUS TO WRITE IT INTO UR FICS!!!!!!!!

#BSD FANDOM ESPECIALLY!!! HES OUR GUY!!! HES THERE!!! #i say this very loosely bc like idk how it went #its a rumour that he said this right #but like fomr what i remember #natsume soseki was an incredibly talented translator but i think he preferred writing original novels #but he was one of the pushers of colloqusalised translations rather than direct which was more popular at the time #so one of his students came up to him w a novel translated from english to japanese and in part of it #one of hte characters said 'i love you' #BUT apparently natsume said that wasnt very realistic in japan due to cultural norms (iirc) and saying ' i love you' would seem too intimat #therefore instead of saying that #say something like 'the moon is beautiful tonight isnt it' #ANYWHO USE IT MORE!!!! i watched a kdrama a while back that used that (hype bc the premise was they were at a publishing firm) #and hwen i say ive never thrown myself across the room harder #pretty pretty please use it also do not take this story time as truth im stupid as fuck and also could be completely wrong but im p sure #thats how it went idk #FHDSJKF #lea.txt #bungo stray dogs #bsd #sobbing violently #bungou stray dogs #natsume soseki

I am often thinking how Shmi Skywalker, a woman who's legally the property of a bug, opens her home (which she doesn't even own due to she herself is owned by a bug) to two stranded Jedi and the queen of an entire planet and helps them get on their feet and back to safety and lets them gamble on her child and neither the Jedi order nor the planet whose queen was saved bothered to think "hey maybe we should go buy her freedom and set her up in a nice apartment somewhere." This has bothered me since childhood along with the fact that Yoda and Yaddle did not fuck.

#star wars #shmi skywalker #I love how the people in charge of starwars cant decide if the jedi and the whole galaxy are corrupt or not because it makes it realistic #i just think they owe shmi a pretty significant debt and the fact that some moisture farmer on tattooine bought her freedom #when the entire planet of Naboo or the entire Jedi Order #simply did not #well I think me personally if that was my mom I would have maybe turned evil as well not to excuse anakins behavior or anything #I just think that I would have -accidentally- kicked yoda in the head every time I walked past him #and Obi Wan for that matter like sir you owe my mother your life and you expect me to pay attention to your lessons #I think not! #I also would not have fallen in love with padme #thats a lie I would do anything for a beautiful woman
