#but tbh theyre all great

[courtney-deserved-better]

telling myself i can't start another tdwt rewrite but dear god do i want to write one focusing on alejandro and courtney in this weird situationship thats a lot more nuanced than just alejandro manipulating courtney and her falling for it. like theyre best friends they dont trust each other theyre the same person they dont know anything about the other one theres a mutual attraction theyre pining for other people theyre codependent they dont care about each other theyre platonic soulmates like i just want to do a deep dive into how messy that relationship couldve been building off of their friendship that exists in my head except the line between romantic and platonic is so fucking blurred they have no idea what they are to the other person

#they live rent free in my head as you can tell #ive been writing some intense moments for them in amicus curiae and im having a lot of Feelings about platonic alecourtney #tbh the whole concept of them replacing the best friends has been a great avenue for me to do a deep dive into their friendship #aughhhh i just. love them so much #and i do want to explore them in a situation where there is relationship potential even if that relationship never actually happens #because everything between them during tdwt could be so MESSY!! #like alejandro says he's just manipulating courtney but he's also doing it to make heather jealous but he's also genuinely worried about he #after the duncan thing but this is the only way he knows how to express that concern without making himself look weak #meanwhile courtney is falling for the act but she also knows its an act and is going with it for the emotional support it provides and shes #just doing it to make duncan/gwen jealous but she also is starting to see the real alejandro underneath it all because he does care even #though he doesn't want to and they do feel a strong connection that they dont know whether its platonic or romantic because romance is bein #shoved down their throats on this show and theyre both in complicated romantic dynamics with other people that theyre the easier option for #one another but they dont really want to be with one another like it just doesnt feel right #okay okay i legit have to stop and go to bed but just. them. im thinking so hard about them #platonic alecourtney

i think one of the funniest things about throwing shanks in with the cross guild and depicting him as kinda jealous or sort of puppy-sad🥺 about being left out is that objectively, shanks is like, pretty out of their league lol.

the cross guild is made of ex-government dogs. shanks's bounty is a whole-ass billion ahead of the highest in the guild (mihawk💕 my beloved). shanks very evidently has his own designs on what the new era entails and made a bet on luffy quite early. he's like, genuinely badass with his conqueror's haki and sword skills, and captains a crew whose commanders are all haki users, no devil fruit users (that we know of). he boasts a pedigree of pirate king apprentice and, not that this is public knowledge, he's probably a celestial dragon spitting in the face of where his blood comes from.

the idea that a guy with a resume like that stands there at the top, practically guarding laughtale and the one piece to pave the way for pirates he approves of, and still makes a puppydog face every time the news coo comes in about his ex-sworn brother and his ex-rival and some guy named after a big reptile who is also possibly luffy's parent? because they all seem to be getting up to shenanigans without him is so, so funny. what a loser. i love him.

#rei rambles #shanks #akagami no shanks #red haired shanks #one piece #theyre all losers tbh #that's what makes them all so great

fully going ham with these beasts meet harte and lin theyre not registered yet and idk if they yellow is acceptable but theyre wormed into my brain (art linework from the subspecies thread, linked in both their bios)

#flight rising #pearl cerdae #my favorite fr pair trope is ''saved their life and is a freak about it (toxic)'' #i have so many of them and its all weird witches who save their dyke husbands and then their husbands are a little like #obsessed with them #its very fun to me im exaggerating the toxicity tbh it varies pair to pair #BUT THIS TIME lin saved harte by taking her to the great tree to eat the seed to cure her sickness #but he never told her becoming a pearl cerdae would take her wings away #and shes fully fucking distraught and hes kinda just hanging around like a wood cryptid until she calms down hes really into her #they eventually are ya know gay shes a weird hermit alchemist and hes her guard just like all my other lesbians -_- #his rose is one of hers. the crown is the shape his horn would be. #theyre g1s i finished in a whirlwind #scribes #pearlcatchers #harte #lin

since the new redbubble bullshittery seems to be going into effect regardless, im most likely going to yeet my shop at the end of this week, so if you want something from there (or want me to put something up), tell me asap bc im making april 28 the last day.

#bml5 redbubble #im looking into an alternative but really the whole rb being passive income just isnt worth the trouble #especially when now theyre going to start taking 50% if you make under a certain amount #especially when you put prints on there after seeing people print your stuff and take it to autograph signings with out asking #and then they still dont sell lmgksjhgsdfgj #the support is great /s #so im not feeling very motivated to have a store of any sort at all tbh #take this as your final notification #arting #i suppose #anyways

the last ep of king the land is what the standard of a fluff finale episode should be <33

#mel.txt #king the land #kdramas #i cried lots of happy tears the whole ep #tbh the entire show was mostly fluff but it worked #THEYRE SO CUTE #a great show all around i'll miss it :(( #also can i just say junho's deep voice is so sexy #like sometimes he would say a line and it was just....such a nice deep voice HAHAHSJDFHSAK

so that artists co op site from that post about etsy is cool and all for people just looking to buy things? but unless i missed something, it seems like since they're still in beta if you wanna be an artisan on the sitr you have to be a member of the co op sharing the site, which is fine like thats cool im all for co-ops, i just can't afford to pay over 80 bucks a month for well. any shopfront rn but especially one i cant guarantee will get me any more sales than i currently have. like being part of a co op is slightly better than having arrange selling through my own website but thats just something i cant afford currently <:/ so i still gotta look for more options

#daze.txt #i'm glad ppl have it as an option it just doesn't seem like a great one for me as a seller rn #arguably maybe id be paying less overall after all the fees i give to etsy #but thats assuming i make the same sales....its a gamble with money i dont have rn #idk. should i look into shopify?? #some ppl use ebay but i just dont rly see that working for me #if i was better at marketing id make a tiktok shop -_- #but tbh i dont feel theyre gonna be much better

[bugintheruins]

ok i think i know why hte songs on dreamland don't grip me by the throat the same way the songs on zaba or htbahb do, esp looking at tangerine and hot sugar there is barely any tension in the songs, its all so static whereas in songs like walla walla or like acc every song from the other albums theres a fuck tonne of tension . idk dremland feels so flat compared to the older albums. some of the songs are good dont get me wrong but idk nothing on that album compares to anything on zaba

#i do quite like space ghost coast to coast but its still kinda boring idk #helium is also good but #UGH #fuckin zaba and htbahb have me by hte THROAT istg #walla walla . wyrd and mamas gun #chefs kiss #idk also ik theyre not acc static im not sure cus the range is quite big throughout all ga songs but dreamland #some of the songs are just really boring #heres hoping some of the new album is good but tbh its not looking great #like ok im sorry creatures in heavenesp the opening verse WHICH THEY USED TO MARKET THE SONG is absolute dogshit #lapartment and love dont rhyme #also they rhyme to too to and to in one verse like????? come the fuck on #i really like this band tho i just know they can do so much better cus they HAVE

Keep thinking about the Darktail twist and man I still think that Onestar was such a random choice for “has an illegitimate kid”. when imo Blackstar makes wayyyyy more sense. Like, consider, Blackfoot has a fling with Smoke when he’s still in exile during TPB. Smoke is wayyy more dedicated to him than he is to her, he actually looks down on her for being a kittypet.

By the time she’s pregnant though, he’s rejoined ShadowClan under Tigerstar. And oh man. Xenophobia is rife and alive and outspoken. And when Smoke tells Blackfoot about their kits, there’s no room for weakness. He lashes out at Smoke, maybe even outright attacks her (remember this guy killed Stonefur) and threatens her, telling her to either get off of his land forever or he’ll take care of their kits himself.

She’s either pregnant at that point or she’s had Darkkit and was trying to introduce them. Maybe the latter cause Smoke would not be coming back to ask ShadowClan to take him. Plus it’d be a formative memory to Darkkit that sticks with him for the rest of his life. Instead, she runs back home, Darkkit in tow. Warning him as he grew up to never go into the forest, lest his father find him and get rid of him.

Smoke lives out the rest of her days paranoid and distressed, Blackfoot knows where she lives. It gets worse when she hears that he’s become leader and could potentially send cats after her. Darktail grows up, angry and bitter that his mother was traumatized so. And he vows revenge. He trains himself, learns from the remnants of BloodClan how the clan cats fight. When Smoke dies, he leaves their twolegs to follow the clans, long gone at that point.

Revenge has consumed him, dedicating his life to unleashing his wrath onto Blackstar and his followers. He fantasized about how he would gut Blackstar and rip out each of his nine lives, dangle his dirty little secret over his clan and threatening their oh-so-fragile pride. He was going to make sure he would be considered Blackstar's worst mistake- that would be his end.

He sets up the Kin among some of the cats he trained with, some being former BloodClan cats. At first, it's formed in honor. He wanted to live with his friends was all, and this way they'd all be fed and healthy. But it slowly took a dark turn as Darktail still prioritized revenge above all else. He quickly grew manipulative, and while he still valued his cats, he began to view them more as pawns in a game of chess. A game he was always playing against Blackstar- even if Blackstar didn't know it. He took in vulnerable cats, promising them power and prestige, when he really was only concerned with how they could benefit his schemes. It takes him so long to get to a place where he can release an onslaught on his father’s clan.

… But when he arrives, Blackstar is dead. He drowned a year before Darktail arrived. He was buried, ShadowClan moved on, that was that. Darktail felt numb. It was all for nothing. Revenge on Blackstar, the thing that had driven him for so long, was gone. There was nothing left... except for the clan that Blackstar had built.

And it seemed plenty of the young, slighted, and immature apprentices were struggling at the change in power as well.

That was fine. He'd come this far. If he couldn't have Blackstar's skull, the rest of his clan would have to do. And as he witnessed the other clans' pride, he figured they could go as well. To hell with them all. He was gonna terrorize the clans just as they had terrorized his mother so, and he was going to relish every second.

So TLDR: Blackstar's crimes, and Brokenstar and Tigerstar's reign, still haunt ShadowClan to this day in the form of Darktail. Something about how when you die, some of your sins will be passed on to your loved ones who will be forced to deal with it in your stead. Darktail, try as he might, will never be satisfied with his revenge. He is now aimless, lashing out at everyone in sight because he missed his chance to kill the one he hated most.

#tbh i do like mama’s boy darktail but i dont like ‘’oh smokes a bitter ex she made her son hate his dad cause reasons’’ #but in this context it feels better cause like… yeah shes just terrified #btw my ideal avos au doesnt include skyclan at all. yeah ik theyre a good chunk of the arc. idc. theyre staying in that damn gorge #razorverse #why not #also uhhh said drowning cause that happens in canon but since im cutting the time gap between avos and the last hope #i might have it just so he dies in the great battle instead #maybe tho... he still gets drowned but by a dark forest cat #and thats what causes darktail to use drowning cats as punishment #hes trying to kill them the same way his father was killed. cause he wishes he could have done it

[reel-fear]

people who still make Joey the ink demon despite canon steering far away from that being the case this is for you I am sending u kisses XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO <3

People who make Joey well-meaning, sympathetic, a lighter shade of morally grey than canon I am also sending u lots of love <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3!!

And people who generally steer wildly from the direction Bendy takes with its characters and has fun with it I hope to see more from all of ur aus and rewrites!!

#ramblez #batim #batdr #this is not me saying aus that don't do this r bad blah blah I just personally have a super soft spot for Joey being the ink demon #since I really like the idea storywise the symbolism of Joey becoming the ultimate monster of this story #joeys who also take a very sympathetic role who are more morally grey than canon also hold a special place in my heart #joeys who think what theyre doing is right not just for them but for their staff who genuinely care abt them who love them mwah #I just love to see very unique takes on these characters I kinda miss when it was only like chapter 2 so everyone had this wildly #different but very unique and fun takes on where we thought the story would head hell for a while we didn't know if Joey was evil or not #thats what spawned Encore it was originally just a collection of theories I thought would come true #esp since I dont think bendy is a particularly well written story its fun to see the fandom have such fun wild ideas on where to take #the concepts and idea presented in bendy that never really panned out into anything interesting or were discarded or retconned #yknow? I miss the days where the aus were wildly out of sync with the actual story when all we had was a few names a few tapes #and we all went wild making our versions of the story and characters and then got so attached to them we doubled down #when canon didnt deliver on em #umm oops this is long have a great new year folks! Get wild get weird with ur bendy aus and rewrites #lets have fun this year and take canon as optional bc lets face it Bendy isn't great but man is it fun and I care abt that way more than #the quality of the story tbh #it had great ideas and executed them uh badly! But idc bc I can stir those great ideas in my head all day and see others do the same <3 #anyways yeah thats it love ya guys have a great 2024 <3
