the tiny, inside the walls, hyping themself up: It’s totally fine. Everything I’ve seen from this human shows that they’re kind, level headed, and normal. There’s utterly nothing wrong with this human, and I can totally befriend them! I shouldn’t be scared at all!

the tiny: *peeks out hole in the bathroom wall, looking up at the giant before them*

the giant, in front of the bathroom sink, obliviously doing their nightly routine: *removes their dentures*

the tiny, has no concept of what dentures are, who just saw this behemoth remove all the bones and flesh from its own mouth in one swift pull, without a flinch of pain: what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck

#g/t #giant tiny #teeth tw #slight body horror tw #i feel like that warrants a tag #anyways I MIGHT HAVE TO GET DENTURES. FUCKIN WHAT #IM TWENTY FIVE #tbh i knew i needed them. but still. got that news today. fuckin nuts #anyways. sorry to ramble abt my irl life. but if i told any of my irl friends i was getting dentures id be roasted #not in a mean way. but there was a denture related incident at the place we all worked years ago. and they would be making parallels so fast #plus i think itll be fun to tell no one and then yank em out at a party as a surprise #can u even yank dentures. idk. ill find out tho! #again sorry for rambling i just love to ramble actually #(also absolutely no shame against ppl w dentures! teeth r incredibly important to self esteem tbh and dentures r a wonderful aid to have) #(like man im gonna smile so much after. chew w both sides of my mouth) #GO BRUSH UR TEETH BTW

Friendly reminder that the Harbingers are ranked by a power scale, that Arlecchino is number four, and the other three above her are considered god killers.

#narky thinks #genshin impact #arlecchino #columbina #dottore #capitano #i need capitano to rip out my spine with a light yank on the nape of my neck for real #not in any particular way but just because i know he could and holy fuck #so i sit here consumed by the need for them to kill me

Quick question. What would happen if someone came up on one of dipper's old graves and decided to resurrect him during one of his reincarnations? Would his soul leave the current vessel and get sucked back into the old one, or would his corpse just be filled with a whole lotta nothing?

That's an excellent question!

My first impulse is to say that resurrecting Dipper's old body wouldn't have an effect. Whoever did it would end up with a zombie, or the shell of a body with nothing in it.

My second impulse is: What if Dipper did get sucked out of his current body, and popped right back into his old one? Now you've got one very confused Dipper, and one extremely distressed demon who just saw the love of his life get his soul sucked out, going limp and dead right in front of his eye!

Overall, I guess it depends on exactly what kind of resurrection was pulled off. A body alone type thing will get you no brain or soul to go with it, but if it specifically targeted the soul itself? Then you better have enough oomph behind it to yank it out of someone who's currently alive.

#answers #Betting that 90% of the time it's the first scenario and the resurrection flops #And even in the second it mostly splutters out because Dipper's soul is *not* thrilled about getting pulled out of a living body #That's a different story than trying to yank it out of the ether #But the other times are amusing! #Extra 'fun' if Dipper was nonhuman and gets sucked back into a human body #Or vice versa #Now along with all the other bullshit he's gotta deal with fewer or more limbs! Talk about vertigo. He's stumbling and awkward #Picturing a cervitaur Dip who's temporarily sucked into a human body and is very disoriented #Bill would *absolutely* take the chance to go out for burgers with a less-vegetarian version #Dipper enjoys the experience until he pauses. Asks Bill what's in this anyway #Bill has a very very wide grin as he says 'venison' #Oh No. Dipper's Delicious. This is Horrible. #He glares at Bill forever and a day #(It was the actual animal deer not another cervitaur but Bill couldn't resist the dick move) #Bill is Not A Fan of watching his husband suddenly 'die' in front of him at any time but *especially* out of nowhere for no apparent reason #It becomes pretty clear that something's gone all weird once his body isn't kicking him out or dissolving; and THAT annoys him more #Someone's playing a game of silly buggers and he's gonna get down to the bottom of it #Where Is His Husband and Who Needs Obliterating This Time

#elvis presley #baby elvis #daydreaming that he gets his ticket #and he rants all the way home to audubon about how he can't do nothing #not even get his haircut #without someone giving him grief for it #he warns me not to tell his mother that he's got yet another ticket #back home he paces around #can't settle #then he grabs my hand and announces we're going out #he's in a real mood and snaps: “I'll be back when I'm back!” when Gladys asks how long he'll be #he'll regret that later when he's calmed down and knows he'll have to face her wrath #he pulls on his motorcycle cap and yanks me onto his harley behind him #he'll also regret that later when I know he's calmed down enough to show my wrath #we don't even stop at the bottom of the drive to give any of the kids an autograph #they scatter as he screeches off down the residential road #he's going too fast and weaving around staid fords and chevys #but i trust him #i don't know why #by the time we hit the highway my hair is a wreck- a lion's mane across my face #i press my cheek against the warmth of his back and feel the tension easing #he whoops out a war cry #or maybe a howl of freedom and tugs my arm tighter around his waist #as we accelerate towards nowhere

i must tell you and others about this discovery….. hizashi or shouta with a toothgap

I feel like he could have had a tooth gap when he was younger. He looks like the kinda kid to have a tooth gap.

#and either it just closed up naturally over time #or he just took his braces off before the start of vigilantes #which is why he grins so much #i think thats quite funny #bnha #mha #hizashi yamada #present mic #when i was a kid i had a tooth gap #i was like 7 i think #and my adult teeth were coming through at the front but one of the milk teeth hadnt fallen out yet #so i had like one stabby tooth right in the middle #my gran said she wouldnt take me on holiday if i didnt get it pulled out and i cried #i think she was joking #in any case i got it pulled out and gained a cool straw hole instead #i was too scared to have the numbing injection so i just had it yanked out without #horrible idea #always have the injection even if it makes your chin feel weird after #thats what i learned #shocked i didnt become scared of the dentist after that

something about the way guilt is portrayed in beyond evil. guilt as a state, guilt as a place you're condemned to. 'i will go to hell' 'life is hell' 'you shouldn't even set foot in that hell' but it's not really the hell we think of, not in the traditional sense. hell is where you're supposed to be sent to suffer and repent forever but all of them go there willingly. (that's why han kihwan will never end up there as juwon wants because he feels no remorse over his actions) they choose to stay and let it scorch the life out of them until all that's left is someone hollow and brittle, real person buried beneath the surface in a grave they themselves dug. in that way it's not lee changjin or the water that killed nam sangbae. it's guilt. that's what doomed him in the end. that hell of his own making he never managed to escape. and as he drowned, he probably thought he deserved that too. jeongje's still there until the end but so much of him died long ago. he's a ghost haunting himself. he tells juwon 'if you don't get out quickly, every breath, every moment of your life becomes a nightmare' if you stay that hell alone long enough, that's what happens. at a certain point you can't wake up anymore. you forget how to leave

#there are these parallels between nsb jj and jw #how both of them give him advice that comes from experience #'don't do this you'll regret it' 'don't do this there's no coming back from it' and both times he doesn't listen and ends up just like them #jw's almost a ghost in the beginning like jj but ds and manyang yank him back to life #and then ds doesn't let jw become another nsb he refuses to let him stay in that hell alone he says as much #i think ds learned how to claw his way out a long time ago #what he says in ep14 #'wouldn't regret be a luxury for me' #a luxury #he understands that guilt at its most extreme is ultimately self serving #because it keeps you in this woe me state where you become so obsessed with your own failure that everything else gets drowned out by it #ds does the opposite he decenters himself in his mind focuses on the pain of others instead of his own #'this is how he makes himself happy' this is how he survives #he knows that wallowing in guilt won't do any good won't change anything what's done is done he accepts it #he says 'if i could go back i WOULD do the same thing again because that's all he could ever do #he did what he thought was right at the time now he has to live with it #nsb can't figure that out can't accept his mistakes can't move on from them so he's stuck in the past #he dies stuck in the past #'you want to cry aloud for your mistakes but to tell the truth the world doesn't need any more of that sound' you know? #that i think is the point in the end #but does that ever fuck you up how jj nsb and jw (for a while) are driven by guilt but ds always acts out of love #he has so much of it despite everything #and juwon only surivives because he starts acting out of love and care and devotion instead of shame and remorse #beyond evil

I think it'd be fun to have, like, a party? or a series of parties? IDK just imagining a group of friends having a bunch of get togethers where they have nice food and drinks and hang out and each person presents a powerpoint about an invasive plant in their region, how to identify it, how it affects the local ecosystem, how to properly remove it or prevent its establishment.

And then this all culminates into a big get together where you clear invasives out of a specific area. Doesn't even have to be a super big area, maybe just the wooded area of a local park, or along a trail or something. And you can maybe have fun, play some music, bring some fun drinks and everyone makes a fun snack to share, and you do good work.

#listen im yearning for gardening but its january so im yearning for the next closest things #friends to yank invasives with #out of queue #ani rambles

himh I'll make a Dark Urge that's so fucking scared

big scary bloodsoaked killer, tearing through armies with her literal bare hands? nah. a quiet, scared girl who doesn't understand why she does what she does, why she can do what she can, but is, at the same time, deeply disgusted by herself because she has just enough self-awareness to know to be repulsed.

maybe it's because I'm a tiny bit obsessed with clinging to the thought that people, at the end of the day, are fundamentally good, no matter what. that there is a fundamental human goodness in all people that makes them worthy of redemption, or at least of the opportunity for atonement.

maybe the way I want to play a story like that is with someone who, stripped from indoctrination and free for the first time to think for herself and embrace and be who she is, finds that in the deepest, most hidden pits of her soul, she is not the strong, kind, resilient person she might want to be. try as the might, she is not someone who can bear the weight of her own past, she's just a... a terrified, broken little girl, cowering in the shadows and unable to look herself in the eye. (which also gives me ideas for her relationship with Orin but that's a little bit beside the point)

cathartic self-insert who. therapy? what is that. is it on Steam or Epic.

#video games are cheaper than therapy i know from experience #squirrel plays bg3 #oc: mara #watching my partner play his durge last night i had Thoughts #so far i'm thinking that this intense fear will be what initially draws my girl to Karlach #because karlach is so.... bright. and exuberant. and even chivalrous in her way #she's so LOUDLY good that her presence is louder than even the fear and... there is something really sweet about that #it'll be a bit of a change of pace for me to REALLY lean into playing a character who... isn't a protector in any way #someone who doesn't put their feelings last #not even out of pure obligation or self-preservation #but rather they are someone who NEEDS comfort and protection #and at the same time IS the danger itself yknow #(my default boys Arvid and Ray are sort of different flavors of a “kinght” archetype) #(the former is the “courage is overcoming fear”-type) #(the latter is the “fate's puppet; thrown at ever-increasing horrors until one finally kills him [and maybe he'll even welcome that]” type) #(Iona may be the most emotionally intelligent but she is in survival mode for a long time which complicates things) #(Petyr is selfish and kinda.... phlegmatic; performatively indifferent until he's yanked from it) #(but Mara will be... feeling ALL of her feelings. and I think Karlach will make her feel the closest to what she can think of as “normal”) #(there's perpetrator guilt. and shame. and fear. disgust at her own urges. intrusive thoughts and bodily reactions that disturb her.) #(i think she'll be pretty fascinating to play) #(holy tag novel dang)

Being brave and trying to set up appointment with gynecologist today. Hell on planet earth

#the irrational fear of them going ‘no fuck u we won’t see you ever’ lmao #idk my fingers are crossed that I’m infertile lmao #(which now that this issue has become so much more intense and have I spoken to both sides of the family about medical history #I think it might actually be a really high possibility lmfao because apparently my aunt struggled with conceiving on my dad’s side #and my mom’s doctors were shocked she was able to have kids and she eventually had to get a hysterectomy her issues were so bad) #so pls pls pls pls pls pls PLS let me be infertile #for one I think it would be funny #two it’ll be a good way to shut my family the fuck up when they ask about me having kids #and three I’m hoping that will making easier for ME to pursue a hysterectomy #I want that bitch GONE I want it YANKED OUT I need it so very far away from me and then destroyed #but regardless first step towards any kind of treatment for this is calling the fucking doctor today so el oh el #kaz rambles

Valicer OT3 Week, Day Three: Childhood Friends

Day Three of @ot3-week's OT3 Week, and we're up to a cute prompt -- "Childhood friends!" So naturally I couldn't resist writing the trio hanging out together as kids. :) This is supposed to be a Victorian!AU, though I suspect it might feel a little bit more modern than that...the important thing is, there's a grand old party happening in the halls of Christchurch at Oxford, and Smiler and Alice have already found each other and decided to sequester themselves away from all these boring adults in their own private table fort. But tummies have started growling, and so Smiler is venturing out to get snacks...

--

“I’m gonna get more snacks!”

“All right – make sure to grab some of Mama’s Welsh rarebit!” Alice said, arranging the cards into neat piles. “Then when you come back we can start building our castle.”

“Definitely,” Smiler said, shooting her a grin. They grabbed the edge of the tablecloth and lifted it – then, seeing no adults had eyes on them, scrambled out from under the banquet table that they and Alice had claimed as their personal hidey-hole. And I thought this party was going to be boring, they thought, scurrying toward the table where the Welsh rarebit sat, along with a few other cheese-based dishes the various attendees were nibbling on. Adults never want to have any fun when they get together – it’s just talk talk talk about boring stuff. Especially Father, going on about “social compliance” and all that...it’s a good thing that Alice is here! I can’t wait to hear another story about Wonderland – it sounds amazing! And I bet that, without the adults interrupting us, we can build a castle using all of the –

“Now, I don’t want you embarrassing me at this party, Victor, do you understand?”

Smiler stopped, turning toward the entrance. Standing there, having their coats taken by the coat-taking-man, was a hunched-over skinny man with a large mustache, leaning on a cane; a very plump woman in the fanciest dress Smiler had ever seen, fanning herself like it was the middle of summer; and a little boy, about Smiler’s age, wearing a suit with shorts and staring at his feet while the woman – presumably his mother – went on and on about how the Liddells were Very Important People and how they had to make a Good First Impression and how Victor was to Stay Quiet and Look Respectable, like the boys in magazines. The boy – Victor – was nodding along to his mother’s litany, trying to stand up straight and do as asked, but the look on his face...

“Now, Marmaduke, I understand that you’re a little – confused, at this age. But the simple fact of the matter is that you can’t just decide that you’re not a boy. It’s simply not done. Where would society be if people just started declaring themselves not one thing or the other? You have to learn how to be socially compliant. True happiness comes from obeying your elders – and you want to be happy, don’t you?”

Smiler frowned as the woman turned away from Victor, leaving him to tug at his tie as she swanned off to chat about boring things with the other adults. It seemed like, with a mother like that, Victor was about to have about as bad a time at this party as they’d feared they would have. And that was a really bad time indeed.

Well, good thing I’m here, then, Smiler thought to themselves, then marched up to Victor, putting on their best smile and sticking out their hand. “Hullo! I’m Smiler!”

Victor nearly started right out of his skin – maybe they should have been a little bit quieter. He stared at them a moment, glancing from their face to their hand and back, then hesitantly took it. “Uh – I’m – I’m – V-Victor,” he stammered, clearly out of his depth. Maybe people didn’t talk to him much? That would be sad if so. “Your name is – Smiler?”

“Well, it’s what I call myself,” Smiler told him, pumping his arm. “My real name’s awful. But Victor’s a nice name! Do you want to play with us?”

“Us?” Victor repeated, blinking.

“Me and Alice!” Smiler pointed at their table, where Alice was peeping out, clearly wondering why snacks were taking so long. They waved to her and pointed to Victor – she glanced over, then nodded and waved back. “She’s really nice, and she tells great stories,” Smiler informed Victor, grinning. “And she’s got cards – we’re gonna try and build a castle! Do you like castles?”

“Uh – yes?” Victor said, as if he wasn’t sure of his own opinions. “I’ve n-never made a card one b-before, though.” He dropped his gaze, playing with his tie again. “I’m k-kind of clumsy.”

“That’s all right – we can show you how to do it!” Smiler promised, taking his hand so he didn’t accidentally strangle himself. “Come on – we’ll get snacks, then we can go and play!”

“I – um...” Victor’s gaze went to his mother, chatting with some other adult Smiler didn’t know and didn’t care about. “I dunno...”

“Aw, come on,” Smiler wheedled, tugging his arm. “It’ll be fun! Don’t you wanna have fun? Be happy? Like, real happy, not grown-up happy?”

“Happy...” Victor looked at his mother a moment more, then over at Alice, patiently waiting for them to decide what they were doing. Then his mouth formed a determined line, and he nodded at Smiler. “Yes. Let’s go make castles.”

Smiler beamed. One happiness problem – solved! Take that, Father. “Great! But, first, we gotta get some of that rarebit – and I think there’s some cake too...”

#ot3week #valicer #prompt #fanfic #victorian AU #kidfic #victor van dort #alice liddell #smiler alton #okay I had a lot of fun writing this one #the trio as kids are so cute :) #though again I actually wrote this from Victor's POV to start #with him wondering why he was even at this party #and then getting startled by Smiler when they kind of just appeared beside him #but that ended up not working the way I wanted it to #and I didn't like that (since Victor didn't know any better) I had to refer to Smiler by the wrong pronouns #so I swapped to little Smiler on a rewrite and suddenly everything clicked :) #part of me thinks this could be the opening to a Valicer take on the 'Somebody I Used To Know' idea #where Victor got yanked into the events of AMA #would encourage me to finish up those posts I have on Smiler's Otherland already! #oh and Smiler and Alice hanging out under one of the tables is inspired by something I used to do as a kid #my parents sold books at bookshows and I'd amuse myself with books and such under one of the selling tables #felt like something Alice and Smiler might do! #queued

I headcanon that Twilight has his lasso from the Manga and whips that thing out all the time just to fuck with the other members to the point they contemplate stealing it because no one sees him grab it its just suddenly wrapped around their foot or their hand or trapping their arms while he's got a shit eating grin on his face.

But then one day they watch him straight up pull it out in the middle of battle and either rope something like a moblin or turn a bitch into an impromptu weapon.

#linked universe #lu twilight #my uncle was telling stories of when he ran with real life cowboys #they messed with him in so many ways and it gave my vibes #twi is more likely to rope Warriors than any if the others #but he will snatch things out of people's hands for fun #hes definitely hog tied wild before #but also used it to yank people out of danger #he eventually tries to teach the others #Wild actually figures it out because its like roping a sand seal #Time also figures it out #Wind gets it stuck in a tree #Legend manages to get it around Wars and has the time of his life messing with him #Hyrule feels so bad when he accidentally wacks sky in the head. #Four does not feel safe when the others start trying it #he stays VERY close to time

My town's 4th of July theme this year is "Party like it's 1776!" as if we don't do that every fucking year

#you don't need an extra theme on top of the 4th it's already a themed day you silly stupid geese #also we definitely don't want to party like it's 1776 that's a whole other can of worms to open #my mom said that she didn't put up any red white & blue stuff this year because she didn't feel patriotic and I said ''Welcome to the club'' #haven't felt patriotic in years especially since I had my fucking rights yanked out from under my feet last year #independence day #fourth of july #4th of july
