#he can be. persuaded

[yanlei-a]

"i said: model for me."

the word 'no' is expected from him, really. the sheer disbelief she receives from his stare nearly has her laughing, yet she withholds (for now) and crosses her arms. she stands her ground, chin lowering; one could easily mistake such a look as condescending. yet... perhaps there's some sort of pity that lingers in her gaze instead.

she doesn't relent. a hand then rises, clawed digit tapping her chin in mock thought. "unless... you're too cowardly to take up such an innocent idea?"

» — INSANE POPSTAR WANTS TO MAKE HIM MODEL (MORE NEWS AT 8PM).

— @agonizedembrace

"And I said no." The retort is as short as it is sharp, now that Zed knows she is being serious about this. It isn't news Evelynn has a knack for picking models, be it from her own midst, those already renowned and adored that would suit the task perfectly, or those who have yet to make a name for themselves. Regardless, she is infamous for never making bad calls in that regard — he has to question that reputation now, though blatant disbelief has already faded from his crimson gaze.

He is glad to work with her on other business, not this. She should know he would refuse. The very idea of making him model is absurd, even weren't he utterly uninterested in it. The diva may be content to balance her fame and other activities, but Zed would rather avoid the hassle of drawing any more attention to himself than necessary.

It was troublesome enough due to the people around him. He certainly didn't need to make his face known.

The scowl on his face should be as much answer as proof he is a poor pick for the task. It doesn't, however; she looks at him between condescension and pity, and he doesn't know which he despises more. No matter: his distaste also makes itself evident in the look he gives her, gaze meeting golden eyes.

"Innocent? Coming from you? That would be new," Moodiness makes him less cordial than usual; she is toying with him, he knows. Provoking in an attempt to get the reaction she so wishes. He is proud enough that his ego chafes at the accusation, but not enough that he can't see through the trap placed right in front of him. "Get Kayn, I'm sure he'll love the attention. One of his bandmates or something. It's not a matter of cowardice — it's a matter of this being a frankly stupid idea. I'm not exactly the model type."

i have come up with a new, extremely self indulgent AU for tfrb:

basically what happens is each individual character in tfp accidentally finds out about the rescue bots, whether it's through a ground bridge mishap, an intel scouting mission, even a situation where they get rescued.

this starts out with mostly autobots, because i assume griffin rock is either in autobot territory or a neutral/unclaimed area (or it's off the grid and nobody knows about it) (i think the last one is the funniest), but the decepticons also learn about them eventually.

now. here's where the funny/self indulgent part begins. none of them know anyone else knows. the autobots AND decepticons all assume they're the only one who knows about these bots, and that the team has been trying to live a normal, calm life away from the war.

team prime doesn't know optimus and bumblebee already know, and the decepticons don't know that these guys have connections to the war. and of course, the rescue bots always manage to worm their way into every. single. bot's. spark. all of them individually grow to care about the rescue bots, and independently decide to keep them secret. nobody wants their new friends to get hurt!

anyways shenanigans of course ensue because it's very hard to keep a previously extinct group a secret from all of your friends, and since everybody knows but doesn't know everybody knows it becomes a lot of ridiculous sneaking around and badly lying to everyone.

the rescue bots are SUPER confused by all these bots who keep showing up, but they pretty much just assume that someone spilled their secret and everyone after are all showing up to meet them. eventually i think they would start to figure everything out, but they don't fully comprehend that everyone has been trying to hide them from each other until some big reveal happens.

the way this pans out is probably the end of the war honestly, because again; no one wants these guys to get hurt, physically or emotionally, and if that means having a ceasefire so be it.

#tfrb #rescue bots #transformers rescue bots #transformers aligned #tf aligned continuity #aligned continuity #tfp #transformers prime #i just think it would be funny #in my mind everyone would be trying to internally justify keeping this secret bc all the war bots are kinda out of touch w their feelings #and don't want to admit they're soft for the rescue bots #so it leads to many identity crises #they're all like “oh they could be useful in the future i don't wanna reveal this info to quickly” #or “maybe they can give our side an upper hand and if i spill they could get found and persuaded to the other side” #some specific cases i like to imagine: #shockwave would have a rly hard time trying to logic his way into keeping their secret #he can't admit he wants to help them so he just pretends he wants to experiment on them and study their abilities #which he does want but he also cares abt them #ratchet isn't the softie type so the feelings he has towards the rescue bots really off put him #he also feels bad about not telling optimus but really doesn't want to involve the rescue bots #megatron is completely in denial #he claims to want the rescue bots as a tool to eventually win the war and rebuild cybertron #but he never can bring himself to actually use them #soundwave. just any interaction between the guy who doesn't talk and a team full of the biggest gossips ever. #i love the rescue bots so much and since it's canon that everyone who knows them does as well i've decided they have irresistible charm

Ok so another au idea but story barely changes because this post focuses on Todd. I had small conversation with someone in one of my post made my brain go explode and remember the small scenarios I have with my own nice Todd and it made me giggle cause of the friendship.

In this au, Todd's relationship with Ballister started rough because the boy is insensitive and doesn't realize it.

He was always left confused as to why Ballister seemed so mad everytime they run into each other until Ambrosius (they're friends here) tells Todd about his problem of being rude to others without realizing it.

Upon knowing this Todd feels guilty and plans to apologize to Ballister, before also realizing that he must have done the same thing to Ambrosius a couple of times as well, so apologized to Ambrosius before looking for Ballister (Ambrosius helped him apologize to Ballister).

From then on, Ballister had two best friends who protects him from the bullying and the hate.

Todd developed a crush on Ballister, but soon discovers later that Ambrosius has a crush on Ballister as well. They would have become rivals if Ambrosius didn't share the fact that he(Ambrosius) had been crushing on Ballister before the three of them became best friends.

Todd felt bad knowing that Ambrosius had hid his feelings for so long while he just developed it recently, so he gave up and helped Ambrosius instead.

Cut to Todd's terrible wingman skills whenever Ballister is around. It always results into Ambrosius glaring at him while Todd just smiles and gives him a thumbs up.

Ambrosius: *whispering* "wuh- Todd! what are you doing?!?" Todd: *whispering back* "trying to get you alone with Ballister!" Ambrosius:*whispers angrily* "WITH A RUBBER CHICKEN AND A SANDWHICH?!?"

Surprisingly it works and Ambrosius has no idea why but he'll think about that later, and he'll also thank Todd about it.

At some point, Todd tells Ambrosius that he also had a crush on Ballister but gave it up so Ambrosius could have Bal instead. Made Ambrosius feel bad but Todd reassures him that its fine, and that it would hurt Ambrosius more if he(Todd) would end up with Ballister when Ambrosius had been crushing on him for years.

Soon Ambrosius and Ballister made it official, which made Todd happy for them. Despite the change of relationship, the trio stayed close and would always include Todd.

Except for date nights of course.

As a result, Todd became their child. Always keeping an eye on him and making sure that Todd doesn't accidentally insult someone without realizing it was an insult and to translate what Todd meant to others.

Ambrosius and Ballister would say "mean word/s" to let Todd know. And Todd would correct himself.

Will also add that Todd has the habit to just not continue or pause when he speaks because he assumes that others know what he is talking about, so Ballister and Ambrosius has to always give him a sign to let him know he needs to explain more.

No idea how the story would go in this version because I only focused on the silly Todd moments. Have two scenes that I thought of: Knighting ceremony Ambrosius helped Ballister into his armor, adjusting his shoulder pads in place to secure it. Ballister turned around, smiling at him as if to tell him thank you from his smile. Ballister was about to speak when suddenly an arm was placed over his shoulder which a bit of force which took him and Ambrosius by surprise.

"Hey Ballister, I know things were really tough for you back then, and I really thought you don't belong here." Todd finishes and lightly punched Ballister's shoulder. They were silent for a moment, expecting Todd to continue but didn't.

"And?"

"And what? You proved me wrong and now you're going to be a knight." Todd answers , feeling confused before realizing why both of them seem to look like they were anticipating something.

"Oh, did I do it again? Sorry." Todd apologized, taking his arm off of Ballister before moving to rub the back of his neck sheepishly.

"No worries. it's all right" Ballister reassured him with a smile.

Punchable face "I don't need a si-" "Every villain needs a sidekick"

"I'm not a villain-"

"WOAH! sick murder wall!" Nimona exclaims, excitedly hoping over to the said wall with pictures of people and evidence. "Are these your next targets?" "What?" "Who do you want to kill first?" Nimona asks, tapping her fingers together in a sinister way. Her eyes dart around the pictures on the wall before settling on the picture of Todd with a smug smile on his face. She gasps before pointing towards it. "THIS ONE! This one looks extremely punchable!" Nimona clenched her fist with an excited grin as she pictures herself beating the punchable guy. "Don't say that! He's actually really nice!" Ballister said, clearly offended about what she said about Todd. "Well, he can be insensitive but he's just not aware of it sometimes- wait no- GAH, THAT IS NOT A MURDER WALL!"

Will…to comfort you during your airport struggles I am here to offer up meeting Gojo at the airport thoughts™️

You both are stuck on the same delayed flight and he pretty much kinda imprints on you when you tell him where to find the monitors after you see him looking a bit confused

You both bond over meals at the airport food court and laugh at bad tourist merch and he even watches a movie with you on his iPad and just the two of you click and just enjoy this strange magical bubble forming around him and you

OMG ERIKA PLS !! 🥺

you can see him wandering past the gate several times, and he's not easy to miss because he's the TALLEST MAN AROUND !! and he keeps holding up his boarding pass and staring at the monitor and so you just tell him, "this is the flight heading to..." and his eyebrows raise and he looks so relieved 🥺 and then he plops down beside you to charge his phone in the port you're not using 🥺

and you just make some little small talk until you're boarding the plane, and he sits a row or two ahead of you, across the aisle, and it's so easy to see when he peeks over his shoulder to grin at you !! and you're a bit bummed that you're not sitting by him for the flight, because he's stupid cute and his laugh is funny 🥺 but then when they announce that there's a thunderstorm and the plane can't leave the terminal for another two hours, they offer passengers to get off for a bit, if they'd like, and gojo doesn't get up but you do, to stretch your legs and to maybe go buy a bite to eat, and the minute you pass him in the aisle, he's sticking a leg out and cutting right in front of the person behind you, leaning down to whisper "where we going?" in your ear akrbdjsjakalql

#and then when you get back on the plane he does his best to persuade the guy sitting next to you to switch seats akdjdiaia #you both wander the airport for a little while 🥺 #he buys you both something to eat 🥺 #just tagging along 🥺 #says he should probably get your number in case the plane starts boarding again and the two of you get separated #that way he can call you you know ? just to make sure you don’t get left behind 😌 #THIS IS SO CUTE ERIKA PLS SKDKEJEJAJAJAK #but then he sits next to you in the seat and he's SO GODDAMN TALL #HE DOESN’T FIT #✿ ask willow #✿ thoughts: gojo

in my playthrough when Astarion ended up with like +17 to lockpicking checks I imagine he was just doing them like that guy on tiktok that opens them in 2 seconds with an air of disgust

#say what you want about modern au astarion but he'd make a killing on lockpicking tiktok #anonymous lockpickingmagistrate etc #Astarion #bg3 #I got a crit on the dc 99 lock in the vault because I couldn't be bothered to do a puzzle #letting Astarion run around in circles in there picking everything for enrichment #if you let Astarion talk his way into the bank he can persuade them he's a security expert and it worked 😭 #you people deserve to get robbed smh #baldurs gate 3

au where there's like a paperwork error and sasuke ends up on team eight. but no one else's placement changes. so kakashi has to deal with just naruto and sakura, who isn't filtering herself at all. or better yet, sasuke gets swapped with kiba, so kakashi has to deal with three loudmouth hotheads, one of whom can just track him down whenever he's late.

meanwhile kurenai's first lesson is homicide 101 and sasuke thinks he just hit the team jackpot

#naruto #team seven #team eight #uchiha sasuke #yuuhi kurenai #kurenai: ok kids now that we've all introduced each other i'm giving you a test to see if you're really ready to be genin #kurenai: the test is murder btw. afterwards we'll go over better and more creative ways to do murder #sasuke: this is the best possible thing that could have happened to me #meanwhile kakashi has a massive headache bc the only person on his team with any kind of volume control is akamaru #kakashi: ur the only one i can trust buddy #akamaru: bork #kakashi's ninken absolutely adore akamaru #sakura gets a headstart on medic-ing bc hana shows up to meet her lil bro's new team #also sasuke feels weird without someone challenging him to a fight every 20 minutes so he starts hoping one of his teammates will #shino gets sick of sasuke's incredibly awkward attempts at egging him on and persuades hinata to make sasuke her rival #yes they bond over their obsession with naruto what about it #hinata is. not good at being a rival #but she's trying #hinata: um sasuke-kun i bet. i bet. um i bet i can get to the top of this tree f-faster than you... #hinata: um but only by a little bit actually y-you'll be right behind me in fact you'll probably do it better but um. #sasuke: we can just start hitting each other if that's easier for you #hinata: oh cool just like my home life. yeah i can do that #shino: i'm a genius

The worst thing about Wolfstar is that Remus’ mediocrity and negligence is blamed on Sirius to facilitate a false equivalence that hinges entirely on Remus having Sirius’ personality and Sirius having no personality.

Just have to say I am slowly finding your D&D OC art and all I can say is Phaela is so neat, she's so cool. A star druid / cleric?! And stars are pods of bioluminescent whales?!?! And her god is a god of simple pleasures?!!! I am in love, she is a stellar character, I am delighted.

Your art is fantastic, thank you for sharing her and your art!

Ghfhfhhfhd!! Fhfhd!! Ah!! (“Stellar” ha, nice one)

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you like her! As you can likely tell I forget to post here often oops. for your kind words, please accept some Images!

This is Phaela’s starry form (archer)! Those spectral whales fill with light and can be fired like lasers

Her old Shadowfell outfit, which she has resumed wearing now that they’re doing an arctic exploration quest!

Recently she was almost entirely turned to stone, starting with her hand, which no longer glows like the rest of her does oops! 💦💦 It’s fine though! Haha nothing to worry about nope we’re all better and fixed and any permanent scarring is like, nonimportant and doesn’t mean anything actually

#fr thank you what a sweet message! #just a statement just putting it out there to my followers that expressing interest in my OCs at all will reward you with Content #I am very easily persuaded to talk about them dohdhdh #Phaela #art: Phaela #planar pringles #Nona can we get this girl some soup. some comforts.

for the violence ask game: 8 common fandom opinion everyone is wrong about. for milgram. i know exactly what you're going to say i just want to see you go off again

Hiii bestie. You do know what I'm about to talk about. Yippee

Disclaimer that this whole essay is like. For fun and how I say things is ramped up to be funny. I don't mind if you disagree w me cuz like that's the nature of things! We disagree but we can get along.

Anyways short answer for people who don't wanna see the essay: organ harvesting theory. This is about shidou.

Idk how prevalent it is rn since not many people even talk about shidou but it was prevalent enough in June when I got into milgram that I believed it for a bit anyways the rest in under the cut cuz I'm insane sorrg

SO the main reason I think the theory is WRONG (hyperbole‼️) is because I just think it's unrealistic. Man works in a hospital in Japan. How would he pull it off. Scuff an operation bad enough to cause braindeath/death and I'm p sure they suspend your medical licence, if he participated in an organ harvesting operation pre-family-accident his case would then be black and white cuz he was doing it in complete sound mind with no regard for human life. Also it wouldn't justify the extreme reaction he's had to realizing, specifically, "what I've been robbing people of" (t1 voice trailer), and he wouldn't have as heavy a focus on the relatives' feelings and reactions. At least story writing wise it'd make less sense since it doesn't allude to anything if that's the end goal? Imo at least. Idk maybe this is because I really like tragedies in media. Also because it'd be a really disproportionately severe crime compared to every other direct murderer???? Like. We have strangled someone, stabbed someone, bludgeoning, bludgeoning, kicked someone to death. Organ harvesting looks cartoony in this context. It's also not a very prevelant issue in Japan iirc.

Also to prove my point further. If we use this theories the murders would be

Strangling, abortion??????, cyber bullying, stabbing, organ harvesting, toxic r/s, telling the truth (lmao), bludgeoning, bludgeoning, bludgeoning (minus weapon). Organ harvesting is goofy cuz it seems so.... Extreme,,,,,,,

ALSSOOOOO funny point. If he's not directly involved in his murder (as in, unintentional and indirect) that makes 5 direct and 5 indirect. Silly.

Also also his murder seems somewhat tied to how he feels about his job itself ("I wanted to contribute to society (about his career choice)/I had thought my work was a contribution to society", use of past tense) and to me it reads like hes disillusioned w his job esp since his reason for getting a highly sought after, high paying and high social ranking job is "I wanted to contribute to society". Doctors with that empathy can be affected by the death around them more severely and I think that's a fun topic to look at

I count this under "common fandom opinion" cuz it was common enough around June (whenyours truesly got into milgram) that I believed it. I mean I introduced shidou to my friend (hello clown) as "maybe Dr malpractice. Organ harvesting dude" and said friend (hello again clown) is also the one who's heard me bash the organ harvesting theory like 6 times at least now so. Yippee.

Take none of this seriously I just got off a plane and am so very eepy. If you like the organ harvesting theory good for you!!!!!!!💥💥💥💥💥 you do you bestie !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I literally do not think less of anyone who believes that theory I just personally dont lmao

#sand speaks #hiiiii bestie my silly mutual. youve heard this rant before now for it poorly formatted in text #i mean its better formatted than when i actually talk abt it cuz if i wrote it the way i originally did the points would not be organised #like at all. itd be so bad #anyways all of this is lighthearted i dont think less of anyone with different opinions i just. dont believe the theory at all #i like the tragedy thag comes woth it technhcally not being his fault but also kinda being his fault. #like maybe he had really bad manners towards relatives. or horribls bedside manner (youre in my way just die already“ like ok mr kirisaki. #dont say that to a comatose patient my dude. but yeah it can be argued that morally hed be in the wdong #or if he persuaded relatives to dknate patients organs. which is rude and also malpractice (coercion and taking advantage of ppl in vulnerab #and with his themes of lying (covers) i fhink it could wither be lying to relatives of patients OR. him seeing hsi work and the promise of #saving people from illness or death as a lie and a hoax becasye so many people died anyways despite those promises #anhwyas im insane about this man. characters with extreme worldviews entirely of their own making my beloved #like nothing told him to believe this. he just does and thats whats interesting to me #anywasy suuper sorry about the big essay and the many tags. i love this fandom #i have so much to say but so little phone battery. and mental battery its Zzzzzzzzz time #tell me if abything in here sounds mean or anything btw im too used to being mean as a jokiing thing so im worried ill offend someone

[transdimensional-void]

was thinking about an AU where wilfried kept his big mouth shut when ortwin asked if dietlinde would be able to get the grutrissheit and adolphine was able to use that as an excuse to delay her marriage…

but THEN i thought of an even better AU where eglantine sacked up and decided to ensure anastasius’s position as future zent would be secure after their marriage. she could have leveraged her position as future queen to convince aub drewanchel to withdraw from the agreed betrothal between adolphine and the leftover prince. adolphine would have jumped on board enthusiastically. eglantine and anastasius could have offered some other kind of benefit to drewanchel to make it up to them…

then without the backing of a greater duchy, sigiswald would be at a serious disadvantage in the fight for the throne. he could have scrambled to obtain, say, hannelore? or dietelinde? but both would have strong reasons to turn him down. his only remaining pathway would have been to try to steal eglantine from anastasius. in which case, the moment he tried something, they could have used it as a position to fully take him out.

anyway, AU where adolphine never had to marry that sorry excuse for a prince and gets to become aub drewanchel :)

#ascendance of a bookworm #she can marry like eglantine’s half brother who is son of the second wife of klassenberg #as arranged by eglantine #klassenberg and drewanchel united against sigiswald would make anyone think twice about backing him #and she’d probably persuade ortwin to marry into another duchy to further cement their power block #her first choice would probably be alexandria but that’s not happening lol #he could become charlotte’s consort #or eglantine’s second spouse #sadly i still don’t see him and hannelore happening unless lestilaut loses his position as future aub #if that happened he could become hannelore’s consort #and lestilaut can get packed off to the sovereignty as eglantine’s second spouse heh heh #ascendance of a bookworm spoilers
