Ok as someone with a longstanding special interest in scooby doo, I feel qualified to pitch an actual "real" reboot. They're poly, in a qpr, and instead of solving random mysteries, people come to them to help solve crimes that the police have brushed off. They're Benoit Blanc except they're four people and they have a dog. Scooby can still talk, somehow

#stupid flighty bullshit #scooby doo #the core defining trait of scooby doo has always been the gang's love for each other!!#whether its romantic or platonic that is a found family right there and creating arbitrary drama between them is just stupid!!#like if you want to make a realistic version of scooby doo you could do soooo much better than that mess of a show!!!

LOOK, I CAN EXPLAIN- I really loved their dynamic (in every aspect) in the game and feel like they don't get enough attention :(

This also got inspired by the behind the scenes video from the guy who helped shaped the fighting styles for MK1. He said that he was the most sore after Kung Lao, sooooo im just guessing he got mad shoulder strength LMAO

#fanart #digital #doodle #my art #art #mk1 2023 #mortal kombat #mortal kombat 1 #kung lao #raiden #mk1 raiden #railao #i also really love railao #i think they're neat #like - i like johny cage and kenshi with everyone else #but I feel like this duo doesnt get enough attention #both in platonic and romantic #also im sorry if their face changes almost every drawing #they so realistic and everyone is SO HANDSOME i literally cannot translate 99% of the time

pov an old friend who died over 10 years ago suddenly reappears, especially looking less human

(+ bonus margin doodle gag as usual bc i can’t help myself)

#practice sketch to figure him out in my actual art style…! my previous art were attempts to draw him more realistically #assassin’s creed #desmond miles #ghosts in the machine au #doodles #edit: THIS IS NOT ROMANTIC SHDBDHF it’s like indiana jones w short round or lee w clementine 😭#desmond helped out and was helped by a 7 year old who’s since grown up but will always be under his wing (now literal)

some daan marcoh doodles around some dialogue bits I hit in game haha - gave me some thoughts on how one could think of daan if you only bumped into him at certain points? I don't remember the lines exactly but there were a few like this? 'Are you moving on? I guess we'll split ways here.' 'Someone has figure out how to treat these people...'

'You were very heroic stepping in there.' 'In the dark, your thoughts can really get to you out here...' 'Am... I... still a good man? Or...'

#fear and hunger #daan fear and hunger #marcoh fear and hunger #kickdraw #daanmarcoh #keep getting dialogue and I feel like if you only saw certain parts of Daan he seems like a very noble doctor figure #trying to research/avenge his dead almost(?) wife - staying behind to diagnose the villagers #meanwhile marcoh has like only killed one guy and is trying so hard to be a good person but is sinking in that Guilt #if daan stepped in on the marcoh held at gunpoint bit - I feel like it would fit Marcoh's lines about 'being heroic' or whatever #maybe he would be comparing himself to him - like 'im not a good man cause thats what a good man looks like in this situation'#and later when marcoh has a reality check he has to be like ... oh.... he's actually like this... huh #I feel like daan would hate it if anyone thought of him like this hakfjghadfg - but that makes it crunchier in my mind :)#daan starts looking much less like a tragic romantic protagonist when he is bickering with the party and getting dunked on #this weird image leaves the second you take both of them into the sewer and daan just starts complaining at him about the smell too often #sorry marcoh your fantasy protagonist man only exists in your dreams :) I think he'd still like him after getting a more realistic view tho

Durgetash nation:

Do you think Gortash would turn against a Redeemed!Durge?

Do you think Durge could pull off "I can fix him"?

Or do you think Gortash would reject the person (man as I tend to go with default Durge) his lover, almost his spouse, has become?

And do you think Durge would ever be okay knowing the man he loved turned his back on him, the moment he was in total control of his mind and body?

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #the dark urge #dark urge #durgetash #enver gortash #lord gortash #durge #durge x gortash #gortash x durge #personally there is the romantic in me that wants to think Gortash would choose Durge #but realistically?#I'm 99% sure he would ally with him if he met the correct criteria #but would drop him with disgust if he suggested abandoning the plan entirely...#and no #durge would never recover

Vaggie: "More work for us."

The fire roared in the iron stove, and I huddled on the couch in front of it. The warmth I clung to desperately fighting the icy cold of the cabin around it. When the chores were done and the sun grew low, I spent most of my days like this, waiting for the piece that would most be missed.

You walked in from the blizzard, and tore your work coat off, beating the crystals from your boots. Every bit of hard bitten, tough gal aesthetic left you as the weariness of the day hit you all at once. Gently, you snuck under my blanket, and laced your calloused hands and muscles arms around my body.

I melted into them freely.

Safe.

Warm.

Content.

Embraced.

You and me, in each other's arms, listening to nothing but the fire and the storm.

#sapphic yearning #my brain hates me and keeps insgining idealized romantic snapshots that realistically will never happen #i have to inflict that on you too now

Rereading aftg and being reminded that Neil and Andrew’s relationship has such QPR vibes to me for some reason

it’s something about building from the ground up with no set assumptions or expectations. choosing to exist together romantically and sexually but also as a Something Else that is just as important to them

something about the way that their relationship doesn’t fit into “conventional” boxes and never will, and how unapologetic they are about it

how they’ve probably spent hours sitting together in silence. Not touching or talking, just breathing and existing next to each other

how they express their care for each other through actions, rather than words

how they don’t say “I love you” to each other, because love has always been turned against them as a weapon and this is safe, their relationship is not something that chains them to places where they’re hurt. How they care about each other so fiercely and choose to stand together even though they’re capable of standing alone.

Idk their relationship is very special to me and I know it’s romantic but it has Very QPR vibes to Me Specifically and that is v special for my little aroace spec heart okay

#sleep deprived thoughts from whatever my name is #Listen #listen #it’s about the Intricacies #aftg #andreil #andrew minyard #neil josten #Y’know maybe this is just my brains reaction to seeing a realistic relationship (within reason) in media #After being shoved full with unrealistic untroubled relationships and romantic expectations for my whole life #But my point still stands

I feel like Daphne rolled to get unlucky trait for the day as it was probably the most unsuccessful leisure day ever 😭 After losing bunch of simoleons at arcade she stumbled upon Shen's current gf and her soon-to-be-ex-bestie Ariel and ultimately broke their early friendship by sharing some unfortunate news with her (the timing couldn't be more wrong as they just got a baby!!! wtf)

#ts3 #ts3 gameplay #gameplay: zodiac #potts 1 #literally can't believe they wohooed while he was in relationship!! with a baby coming soon!!! wtf dude #and now I need to find her a new friend ;c and a man #but this was my spin on 'fall In love and marry their first love fast' rule #technically in sims 3 the 'romantic interest' status signifies that they fall in love #BUT what kind of love is there when you just met the guy and spent the night together? so Im being more realistic with rules here lmao

male authors, writing m/m friendships: their bond will develop through hundreds of chapters, we will get to see each stage of their budding relationship, they'll constantly be in each other thoughts, their first instinct will always be to reach for the other, their first worry will always be the other's safety, they'll spend every minute of the day together, they'll be complete opposites and yet perfectly compliment each other, they will put everything they ever loved in risk just to keep the other safe, they will give their life without hesitation to save the other's, they will fight and argue and tease and joke around but they will always be at each other's side at the end of the day, they will plan to spend the rest of their lives together, sharing the happy moments and the hard times, the idea of being without the other being unthinkable, the thought of being always together coming naturally, as easy as breathing.

the same male authors, writing m/f romance: she'll like,, smile once at him and he'll start thinking of marrying her and having children with her idk

#i talk a lot <3 #tged #the greatest estate developer #ch 368 #LITERALLY WHAT THE FUCK SIR #i remember the romance being sudden but this is fucking ridiculous lmaooooo #it came out of fucking nowhere!!! it's so shoehorned in there they almost cut off the heel to make it fit!!!#i don't think they've spent more than like.... 12 hours in the same room in all the years they've known each other.... what the fuck....#and in fucking ch 368!! literally 40 ch away from the ending!!#less than 10% of the way to the end!!! i thought i was exaggerating when i said 90% of the novel had no romance but no!!!#i was fucking right!!!!#this is........ infuriating skjashdkdsf #to be clear i am not saying friendships cannot do everything i just listed here #of course they can!! more friendships in fiction should be like that!! but!!! you cannot write a friendship between two characters like tha #and then put one of those two characters in a romantic relationship with a completely different character #and not give it even a tenth of the attention you gave to the friendship and expect me to find it realistic!!! or compelling!!!#either give it the same level of attention or just!! don't include it!!#that's also an option!! just leave the incredibly compelling friendship you wrote be the highlight of the novel!!#let it be the most important relationship of the plot!! let it be the happy ending for those characters!! that's perfectly okay!!!#FUCK!!!!#i'm fine i'm normal i'm okay

'penelope is gonna be irresistible' 'penelope is gonna have multiple suitors' 'penelope is gonna be the diamond of S3' ENOUGH!!!! penelope is for us fuckups! the 'alone on friday night' babes! she's for our messy gals! our clumsy weirdos! us disasters! us 'hanging out by the wall because if i go on this dancefloor i'll have a panic attack' bitches!

i wanna see colin show up going 'her swagless looks and cringefail personality has captivated me' or i don't wanna see it at ALL

#polin #penelope featherington #colin bridgerton #bridgerton #bridgerton s3 #don't even @ me #what happened to 'you're my mess'??? WHERE IS IT??#colin shows up to a ball seeing penelope infodumping about ancient mezopotamya on some dance partner who is looking clearly for an escape #and goes 'what do you mean he's not into her??? that's the hottest thing i've ever seen'#because COLIN'S swagless looks and cringefail personality have ALSO captivated HER #y'all have some kind of aversion to women who are romantically and socially unpopular #every girl needs to be some girlboss or have people drooling after her and it's not realistic #let penelope be pathetic ffs we all are at some point or another

actually even a sonic and shadow not completely warped into loving each other and committing could get married because sonic thinks the wedding would be fun but doesnt think ahead and shadow's 1950s brain is still conditioned into 'marriage is the one and only goal in a relationship and so i must propose to him' even though he's mostly moved past everything. OBVIOUSLY they divorce.

this isnt to say your happy sonadow marriage fluff 25k words 30 chapters sucks, dont worry, im eating it up all the same

#sonic #sonadow #shadow the hedgehog #sonic the hedgehog #i really wanna pretend sonadow could be a loving healthy romantic relationship that lasts a lifetime #but realistically no #no it could not

Don’t mind me, just thinking about Haymitch little smile after kissing Effie, nothing new

#like… that’s so soft #haymitch really is a romantic at heart gosh #effie really was the realistic one there crying a little over separation anxiety #like… the boy’s finally happy let him enjoy it #apart from the forced sobriety and the nights spent in command I bet those two had fun in 13 #effie’s ‘side action’ was actually fulfilled #good for them #haymitch was just enjoying it already planning their little life in 12
