I am once again reiterating that Leo could and should be a figure skater because what are ice skates if not twin blades? What is dual blade swordsmanship if not a dance-like performance? Using the skates as blades themselves could let Leo make portals be his ice rink no? I rest my case. ⛸️

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rottmnt headcanons #rise leo #would also like to add that he loves glam rock and unicorns! and what’s something glam rock unicorns and figure skating share #that’s right ✨glitter baby✨ #(his glam rock look unironically fits right in with figure skater attire ngl) #I also mentioned his incredible ability to hold a pose before which helps him here #plus his fighting style in general can easilyyy incorporate figure skating elements #I am this 👌 close to animating a quick gif to show what I mean by those ice skate portals #and I do specify figure skating over hockey because 1) hockey is CASEY’S thing 😤 and 2) hockey just. doesn’t fit Leo? not enough ✨pizzazz✨ #episode where the A-plot is Casey Sr showing her love for hockey and ending up playing a life or death game against yokai #she brings Raph in for help (since I like Casey & Raph friendship) and he gets the rest of the fam to help fill out the team #Casey Jr is especially excited but he’s never actually played hockey before #Leo tries to join and immediately accidentally makes a portal with his skates when he tries twirling to show off #the gang wins the match and the ep ends with Leo finally making it back completely beat up from accidental portals #the gang: wow we won! haha let’s go get hot chocolate it’s cold in here #leo: *desperately twirling over an active volcano* THIS IS THE OPPOSITE PLACE TO BE RIGHT NOW #actually to extrapolate on this more I really adore the idea of the boys’ abilities needing to be retrained as they grow #because their powers have the opportunity to grow #Mikey just randomly floating off and needing to be tethered down until he gets the hang of it lol #and stuff like that

Bellefleur - The Stargazer

When Bellefleur was new, she was shade-born in winter, a daughter of La Delenda, that dreaded house of murderous faerie doppelgangers whose every pleasure lies in the destruction of their Other.

Like every faerie since the Division of the Sun, she was damned to never see the Glory.

She is a scholar, now. She put her sword aside. She studies the idiot, sadistic stars that keep her kind imprisoned, and dreams of both brighter and darker histories long past, when she would have been free to save or damn herself like mortals do. 

In a brighter history, she would have been an angel.

In a darker history, she would have been a storm.

In this - this broken and miscarried world - her kind are so reduced that she will need a mortal man, some ape, to reach her ends. But she will not be thwarted. No murderer of La Delenda has ever planned a death so vast. She will find a mortal with a seed of promise. She will be the gardener of his soul. She will coax him to the full flower of grandeur, and then - once he has grown so tall he towers above the reach of heaven - she will extract the poison from his petals and kill this wretched history.

She will guide his hand to the high clear sword that will shatter the chain of being, and he will be the sword in hers.

(What an unexpected pleasure, to fall in love him.)

#I think it's really important to understanding Bellefleur's character to understand what kind of faerie she is #there is another house - La Menage Verglas - that serves the Stranger: one of the special gods of the Wood #by the Stranger's tricksome will every time a faerie is born into La Menage Verglas another faerie is also created #their perfect double - like them in every way - into La Delenda #and their double's absolute obsession from the moment they are born is to kill their Other and take their place #from the Stranger's POV this is great: all of her servants are either constantly preparing for a confrontation to the death #with someone as smart as fast and as talented as them #or they have WON such a confrontation #from Bellefleur's POV it was like being born with a heroin addiction #and laboring towards the destruction of this person exactly like her was the only way to get her fix #she's still white-knuckling through it every day - she's never managed to go three days together without thinking about her Other - #but for La Delenda there's nothing more punk than going 'you know what actually fuck this' and becoming a pacifist #she put all of that murderous drive into getting her phds #she's one of the Wood's foremost scholars now - especially when it comes to the Division of the Sun or the Antelucan world #and now she's managed to escape out into Mundus where she can finally put all that study into action #and WHAT A SURPRISE to be so pleased with the mortal man who is the linchpin of her plans! #she means him no harm - her feelings are no impediment #she means to help him succeed beyond his wildest ambitions #his ascension to godhood is just a part of her plans #how fortunate to find in him a genuine lover and partner #he's feral and she thinks that's just so great #heretic #dice matters

still no proper dni but if you watch turkey tom get away from my blog

#champ talks #saw the 'HUGE TRANS DRAMA' tomdark video come across my feed and after watching it i can safely say he sucks ass #trying to say that transphobia and someone using slurs against a trans coworker was 'silly' and 'not a big deal' shut the fuck up #'i got a new haircut so im nonbinary im going by zim now my pronouns are je/jer' being the opener is a bad fucking look babes idk! #especially when in the same video you then go on to only refer to a nonbinary character with she/her and be like 'no thats a girl' #and then TRY AND CLAIM THATS NOT WHAT YOURE DOING #ive always had bad vibes about him bc he just genuinely seemed like he was obnoxious at best and a bad person at worst but like. lord #and he just lets his comment section fill with bigotry because he doesnt give a shit like way to go dude nice to know you dont care about u #he didnt say anything outwardly transphobic so a red mark on shinigami eyes would probably be a bit much but oooooh he needs it SO BAD #he also makes some sketchy comments about a trans furry in that 'gamers won the war' type way #so. what a wonderful time

The abandonment issues and conflicting views on growing up that are present on Speak Now stand out much more after listening to Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve (even on the songs that aren’t about John)

#taylor swift #speak now album #midnights album #would've could've should've #like fearless era was a time in her life when everyone was propping her up just to move onto the next thing #like Joe Jonas left her for someone else (Last Kiss BTR etc). Fearless was heralded until it won awards (Mean + Innocent) #and then John came along and made it worse especially because a lot of the media hate about her dating too much started from there #all while she was growing up and wanting to be forgiven for her 'mistakes' hence also forgive others (BTD Innocent Long Live NGU etc) #all of this has always been there but I feel like WCS has highlighted to me how connected it all was and potentially had a main source #at least to me anyway #anyway that's my rant for today

submitted my first app 😖

#😭 didn’t plan to start this early but they said to do it by tonight and now i am worried abt when other companies want their apps in. i #should have asked them #i don’t think they all want them in now tho bc one of them told me she doesn’t start responding until january which. probably means i can #wait a bit right?? i don’t know 😭 #personal #the engineering chronicles #feeling pretty okay abt how today went actually one employer told me i have a very high gpa and that she thought she read it wrong and #another i was talking to abt how even though they’re not a primarily medical company they do do medical stuff and i named and spoke abt the #things they’ve worked on and he seemed impressed by that knowledge. so #really worried tho bc. there are hardly any medical places my school has approved to apply to for this and companies that dont do medical #stuff don’t want biomedical engineering interns even if everything but my electives is the same as an ee’s coursework. bc we’re not going t #stick around for them to hire post grad. like ppl from these companies are straight up telling me not to bother applying or that they don’t #accept apps from ppl in my major etc. which fucking sucks especially since in ADDITION to that the vast vast majority of the companies #that Do have medical stuff going on are mechanical or manufacturing based not electrical. like. what do you expect me to do here #there is one company (the one the guy seemed impressed w me abt) that does electrical and coding stuff and i am really really interested in #them. but as i said the medical stuff is not their main focus and they’re more an all around place. and they also won employer or the year #or whatever a couple years ago. which means Everyone is going to be applying to this company. ugh

what's in a name

#aerin's art #technically fanart #hero and the crown #aerin-sol #i do love my name! it absolutely kicks butt that i'm named after a dragonslaying princess #but sometimes i feel more drawn to her character arc AFTER the dragonslaying #when she's healing from both the physical wounds and the trauma #it's not something you see a ton of in the era of books she was from #especially because she WON that fight with the dragon #she killed the dragon but it still messed her up #and i just Think It's Neat that her recovery was a major part of the book #wow aerin shut up #aerin yells about hero and the crown

Here's how Kobeni fans (me) can still win

I'm just choosing to believe the person who gave Chainsawman blood a few chapters ago was Kobeni. It couldn't have been Yoshida because he wears different shoes and there's only a handful of people who would have motivation to do this.

In my heart of hearts it's either the Devil Hunter Club Prez or it's Kobeni, and I"m hoping it's Kobeni.

Mostly because it's funny, but also because I miss her and want her to come back.

#csm part 2 #don't change anything about Kobeni but maybe she's like 5% less of a mess #only other option is that she keeps ending up working at places Asa goes #Movies? She's making popcorn #Musuem? She's a tour guide #etc etc #feel like pureshit just want her back #also I need her to interact with Denji's new more normal life #especially considering she's one of the most normal csm characters #I also think (personally) she's important; one of the few early characters without a named devil #I don't expect it to be one of the horsemen (as some have suggested) but I do think it's incredibly powerful but she's reluctant to use it #Her fighting skill is entirely unrelated she's just like that #enters a blackout state and when she wakes up she's won

Can you bingo the heck out of the new hunter, our girlboss keigan?

im just concerned that all the fat is concentrated on her body and none on her limbs. considering that idv is supposed to be horror n it adds to the creepy hunter vibe, i guess,, but i cant help but feel like shes also somewhat constantly in pain for that to be a thing

also i see her early nerf n lack of essence NE

#its me the mun #bingo meme #shes actually kind of terrifying to go up against #especially when ppl dont know not to. decode when shes recording u #all the times i went up against her in game she tied or won. all of them managed to pre pop the cipher for detention #its terrifying #anyway i really like her backstory. girlboss. u create ur own path to success. misogyny be damned #but also the fat distribution on her entire body worries me..... #how do her knees not hurt.........

[chiefguideandcentre]

Sometimes it’s just not worth it to even argue with someone about something no matter how badly you want to do so bc you know this person and their aggressive personality won’t let it go, will just talk over you, not listen, and will just pick and pick at you no matter what you say. So you just have to sit and listen to this person bitch about whatever and force yourself to remain silent bc it’s not worth it. i know it’s not worth it, there’s no point, it will only lead to more frustration, just stay silent. I’m exhausted just sitting here and listening, imagine how much worse it would be if you engaged. Don’t do it

#this coworker of mine tho #like I like her but she is one of those aggressive personality types #and they are the absolute WORST to have a confrontation with #I just let her bitch at me let her act like a martyr let her think she won #bc she is relentless in her arguing #and it’s exhausting #even when I’m not even involved and she just wants to complain #like it’s not even aimed at me and I’m exhausted by the time she’s done ranting about whatever it is #it’s so hard not talking back #especially when she’s wrong or overreacting #but don’t tell her that oooohhh no #like girl please why does your every reaction have to immediately be so volatile? #I don’t think this situation requires this level of aggression from you #like I get it you are stressed at work but damn! #you don’t have to be so harsh #stress is no excuse

wait I forgot she mentioned drew and harley in the DP return

#apparently it's canon she got her ass whooped in Johto :( #I would be so interested in a series that explored what it would be like travelling with her friendly rivals #how do you balance that?? especially with Drew since they're on good terms #a lil more than good probably #like it must be really hard to travel with rivals when they keep beating you #how do you not get defensive and resentful? #i mean she's not the resentful type but that would be such an interesting dynamic #especially with how hard Drew pushes her /pos #does she ever snap? like I need to see this #she seemed fine about it in the DP comeback but whatever #oh look Taylor's overanalyzing her blorbos again #lowkey still pissed that spoiler dawn won against her #I remember the community being PISSED lmao #AS THEY SHOULD BE #like I get passing on the baton to the new companion or whatever but still

dude octo expansion fucking rules. im looking at all the mem cake poems. so lovely.

#when 3 comes out i hope it awakens a beast within me #though i dont think anything could top octo expansion like aestheticallt #especially considering the visual style present in the 'chaos' team of splatfest is presumably what 2 is gonna be playing on #since chaos won. and that was the final splatfest #the first games final splatfest was callie or marie and marie won so #2's story has callie gone misssing (she gets found its ok) #*

[gothmiqote]

yk as interesting as it might be to have varha meet azem i actually this it would end up doing a Number on her self esteem lmao

like the idea she has of herself is like,,, Yes she's strong yes she's the "chosen one" butshe also doesn't know for sure she's got a ton going on outside of that. before she was the warrior of light she really was Just Some Guy who had her uses on the field, there's no denying from her that she's a good shot or handy with a glaive. but also those skills don't really roll over into other areas of her life. she still thinks she lacks in a lot of the softer skills--social things largely, but not just those. before she was the warrior of light, she really truly did Not have anyone else in her life (unless you count her one estranged brother who also survived the calamity. she, personally, would not) & couldn't sort out how to properly maintain relationships past a casual depth. it wasn't that she couldn't get along at all, she just never found herself being anyone's first choice. like, she will fully admit to being an attention-seeing kid. to be fair, it makes sense with as many siblings as she had that there would be a need to stand out, she's just never felt like she actually managed to do so.

intellectually speaking, she knows sh's far from stupid & that again, most of her talents really shine in the heat of battle. but like 90% of her friends are basically doctors, & she's aware she would probably have killed the world a long time ago if all the strategizing was left up to her. she'll contribute to these discussions because she's expected to, despite being really goddamn aware she wouldn't be invited to the table without the Very specific circumstances they all find themselves in.

speaking of those friends, it's not lost on her that she wouldn't have them if she wasn't hydaelyn's chosen. maybe they might have crossed paths loosely at some point, but there'd have been no reason to keep her around. having a title like that has its downsides & can definitely be more of a burden than a blessing, but on the whole? she's a bit relieved that she's been able to benefit from it in some more selfish ways (in her opinion). it's a nice change, people having expectations of her & being somewhat interested in her, even if a lot of that interest is directed towards the warrior of light instead of just her as a person. that bit of distance is weirdly comfortable at times. she's not the most emotionally graceful person, usually being too-direct or at a loss for word or reading a situation entirely incorrectly. she's impatient and forceful & is unsurprisingly bad when it comes to navigating environments like sharlayan. the only thing that saves her is the fact that she's Really good at looking confident & making her mistakes appear intentional. having a reputation helps too.

but azem? arsinoë? it's So clear within minutes of meeting her that she doesn't have these same issues. she's the type of person who draws others in without even trying. she's intelligent and witty and doesn't trip over her words (or struggle to find them in the first place). she's able to hold her own just fine in intellectual circles--hell, other people would almost certainly find her intimidating, if she didn't also radiate the type of energy that puts people at ease. there's nothing fake or exaggerated about the confidence she walks around with, and nothing seems to get in her head the same way it does varha. it's the type of inner-security she can only dream of.

i think at first she would want to meet her, just for the novelty of meeting the originator of her soul. i don't think it would cross her mind until it was too late that she actually didn't enjoy doing too much self-examination, and this would be a weird externalized version of that. and of course azem is interested in her--she's interested in a lot of things, but a shard of her own soul from a distant future would be especially fascinating. but varha would start to pick up on just how comfortable she was in her own skin quickly, and it would eat it her. people flock to azem in a way they never did to her Until she had a hero's reputation, until she offered something that was more than she could be on her own. that was when they were willing to look past her short comings. did azem even have those? probably not.

& varha's never been so sick with envy in her entire life, but she's not hateful about it. one, it doesn't make sense & two, she's Also been sucked into that vortex. azem's presence is... a lot, actually. it's domineering in any room--not unkindly, but she's impossible to ignore. she's also just a naturally charming person; there's nothing to hate. but the more varha watches her and searches for similarities, the more she starts to conclude that she seems to have inherited the more negative traits of azem. she's got the same intensity, gets tunnel-visioned about problems, & will Immediately lose her cool if you push her buttons correctly. all of that would be fine if she also got a sliver of that intangible thing arsinoë has that gives her a gravitational pull. she's like the sun, & varha would find herself starting to burn if she stays around too long.

part of her wonders maybe if venat had a hand in making sure the chips fell where they did. somehow she suspects if she were more like azem, she might have some stronger feelings about life or death situations; she might decide there was too much to live for to take certain risks. but if she felt like she was constantly falling short? or like she could have been a stand-in for anyone else? maybe it made her work just that much harder to prove something.

she's not surprised the present hades has such disdain for her. aside from the whole 'going mad from grief' thing, of course. she carries some of the least-loved parts of azem without her same light. standing next to her exposes failures of her personality that she never even knew to look for. varha doesn't dwell on hades' accusations of being a non-person; it's a waste of her time, especially when she knows otherwise. but she definitely feels like a cheap copy when faced with the original. of course, the general disinterest she'd dealt with from people her entire life made sense now. seeing what could have been--what was---makes her immediately understand. even if none of them had Met azem, they would have reacted if she'd resembled her in any way. she could get how losing someone like that would make you want to tear the world up in their name. and varha has people she loves now & who care about her in return, who would definitely mourn her if she were gone, but that type of reaction? nah, nope. they'd get over it in time; the death would be ordinary, as would the grief. which is fine by her, because she actually never Wants to see that level of destruction created for her sake, but still. she gets it.

#the comparison to a literal more whole version of herself would eat her actually jsghfed #she likes herself just fine its not exactly self loathing? she's just. Very Very aware of what she lacks in herself. #especially when it comes to other people. intellectually she knows she should probably be more upset most of the good things she has now #are only bc of the role hydaelyn put her in & not won on her own merit but shes honestly just glad she has them Period. #do i think she would tell anyone she has this crisis? also no LMAO #however i dont think she would be good at burying this one down; you'd probably be able to see it on her face #like these arent really qualities you can Teach you either have it or you dont. she doesnt and knows it. #oc tag #varha naiarro #my writing #ffxiv oc #ffxiv wol

Sweet Dreams. // Mwahaha

Send me your character's reaction to having a sex dream about my character. Or send me “Sweet Dreams” and my character will react to having a sex dream about your character.

The rustling of the sheets was quiet, almost as quiet as Senritsus melodic laugh when she felt his arm wrap around her middle. Still laughing she leaned back to press her small back against Kurapikas warm chest, where she felt his content heartbeat as clear as she could hear it. Purring as sweet as a kitten the young woman turned her head and pressed a small peck against the others lips: "...mhmmm, good morning to you too." The purred words became a quiet giggle the same moment she felt his hands tickle her sides and then those words turned into a loving, melodic sigh when the same hands slipped under her t-shirt, running warm and gentle against her bare skin. She tasted his smile more than actually feeling it and the woman nipped along his lower lip just as playfully as his warm fingers ran up her chest in the tact of her sweet kisses. Tasingly the woman reached behind herself, tickling along the mans stomach behind her at the same time she stretched her neck enough to deepen the kiss and change the noises of quiet giggles into loving sighs.

The cold chains on his left hand pressed against the soft tissue of one of her breasts. Senritsu flinched back so suddenly as if she had been burned. But she could not exactly flinch back. But she could not exactly flinch back because her back was against the others chest. But she could not exactly flinch back, because her back was against Kurapikas chest and his arm was around her front to keep her in place. "-no-", the woman squirmed in his hold, muttering against the kiss as panic set in more with every other passing second. What had been before loving sighs, turned into breathless, uncomfortable weak gasps against Kurapikas lips that made it hard to breath. Senritsu whimpered, but the kiss swallowed her words: "-Kurapika, n-" By now it felt as if the delicate chainlinks were cutting into her breast like small blades that left red, hurting marks.

From one moment Senritsu woke up; eyes wide open; every single muscle in her body tensed as if she was an animal ready to run away; her hands digged into the sheets not from lust but like she had needed to hold to something panicky; and a thin, throbbing ache in her left breast because she had slept on her stomach accidentally pressing her own wrist into it. "...ah", the woman muttered sitting up hastily, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes with hands that were still trembling like from coldness: "...just typically my life. Can´t have giocoso dreams. No, not me. No, of course not me..." Her hands were still trembling. The ache in her chest was a long line around the soft tissue that felt like a chain made of broiling iron pressed against her left breast. "...calm," the woman hummed at herself, even if the humm was thin and brittle and ready to break and the aura she drenched the music of her words with felt far from soothing: "...be calm, calm down, just calm down..." She clasped her small hands together, trying to surpress the trembling by pressing them against her stomach. Yet the hotelroom was too quiet, yet the hotelroom was too quiet and she could hear the three other bodyguards soft breathing so loud as if they were screaming, yet the hotelroom was too quiet and she could hear the three other bodyguards soft breathing so loud as if they were screaming and beneath all that she could hear those chains clink, clink, CLINK. Nen was born from emotions and she heard the rage in the clinking of the chains, she heard the bloodlust in the clinking of the chains, she heard the cold brutality in the clinking of the chains from all of which this ability was forged from. Senritsu left the small hotelroom hastily, almost as if she was running away. [ @skarletchains ]

#You: write spicy things Me: nou. ANGST #senritsu is very neutral when it comes to the possibility of sleeping with kurapika: #if he wants to than why not ( AS LONG AS THERE IS FUKIN COMMUNICATION) and if he does not want to than she won´t complain #having the chance to talk to him and joke around and be happy around him and support him to reach his goals is good for her #but the mere thought of beeing touched with that chained hand ESPECIALLY IN A LOVING WAY makes her shudder in pure utter HORROR #skarletchains #v: es saß ein klein wild vöglein
