#he doesn't catch anything

[petricorah]

just some casual early morning fishing and some not-so-casual evening pining after your best friend

mini explanation of how this would take place if it were a prequel to the dangers of not confessing comic

After ozai’s defeat, they finally take a break and go on the fishing trip they lied about. And it’s amazing, and fun, and Zuko’s heart is aching throughout every second of it. Because he’s drowning under the weight of his impending duties as firelord. He has Responsibilities. But all he wants to do is be with Sokka and have the time relaxing with the people he cares about, actions that he was deprived of during his youth. And Sokka’s about to be halfway across the world, back at his home, where he belongs. And it would be selfish to ask Sokka to stay. And even more selfish to tell him how he feels when he knows soon the trip will be over, and it will never work between them, and Sokka probably doesn’t even feel the same way. So he stays silent. 

And misses his chance.

#zukka #zuko #sokka #atla #avatar #zukka fanart #myart #tell him zuko tell him before you miss your chance #they didn't catch the fish #avatar fanart #ozai's name isn't capitalized because he doesn't deserve the respect of being a proper noun #also as to why sokka doesn't say anything: i feel like sokka's super outgoing #but he tends to overthink things #suki made the first move with him and yue ended in heartbreak #i think sokka would second guess his judgement of zuko's affections #every time he thinks he knows zuko actually likes him he'd talk himself out of it or overthink the weight of potentially ruining #a friendship that means so much to him #i think sokka has a lot of self doubts and the more he likes zuko the more likely it is he would think zuko would never like him back or be #happy with him #so he never says anything #until years later when he tries to play it off as a joke so he can finally #finally #get over his feelings #hint: he'll be unsuccessful #damn thems a lot of tags

So Bill doesn't have a birthday sure, but is there some sort of Bill Cipher Day? Demonic celebration?

..and if so, does dip know?

Oh man, there probably is! Bill's absolutely the kind of guy to have a whole Day Of Celebration devoted to himself. Likely it's not on any sort of earthly calendar basis, too, so it'll come up at some time when Dipper least expects it.

Because, c'mon. Bill's fantastically knowledgeable - but he's absolute shit at filling Dipper in on important information beforehand.

#answers #Picturing demons coming up to Dipper asking him what he's gonna do for the Big Day #What. Like. Their anniversary? That was months ago and they had a date night #Not Dipper's birthday. Bill doesn't have one. What other big days are there #Dipper hasn't been informed. He doesn't know. Bill doesn't exactly have a day planner or anything #The first Dipper catches wind of it is when Bill drags him to the shindig in a fancy outfit #Cue the sitcom-level 'oh yeah I totally got you something uhhhh hold on a sec' antics #It probably works out well in the end but not without Multiple Shenanigans at what is sure to be a very raucous party

I believe that Bruce started out obsessively protective of his identity and anything important to him with the League. He wouldn’t breathe a word about anything because he still didn’t quite trust them. And then things would go on and, after a while, he realizes he trusts -maybe even likes- the members of his team. Moreover, everyone else was more or else out with their identities and it was hindering group collaboration to have him be the only one still hiding.

So he decides to tell the League but Bruce is kind of a freak and doesn’t like, actually have a real conversation with them. No, he just stops hiding stuff and expects them to catch up leading to wild exchanges like.

Batman glancing at his phone during a meeting: Ladies, Gentlemen, Lantern, I have to cut this meeting short. My foster son microwaved tinfoil and started a kitchen fire. He’s alright but is very upset.

J’onn, the only one aware Batman had a child bc of Dad Radar while the rest gape: Please give your boy our best.

-

Batman talking to Clark about farm life: It’s one tractor, Kent. What does it cost? 1 million dollars?

Clark laughs until he realizes Batman is dead serious.

-

Hal: Y’know I was raised Catholic but my mother was Jewish so I’m trying to explore that side of me more.

Bruce: I understand, my mother was Jewish as well but she insisted we celebrate it alongside both my fathers’ Christian leanings.

Hal: ...

Bruce: My second father is British as well which always made things confusing.

-

Eventually someone with a braincell puts it together that Batman = Bruce Wayne and it’s a whole ordeal and Bruce just heaves a long sigh.

“You’re just realizing? I’ve been telling you for months.”

#Bruce the detective strikes me as the dude who doesn't like TELL people things #not in a straightforward manner anyway #he just stops pretending and diverting and expects everyone else to catch up #its one reason the Batkids are Like That #bc they grew up with Bruce 'I communicate in grunts and hums' Wayne and had to read his smallest body tick to learn anything #B eventually learns sometimes he has to actually communicate but sometimes people need to be a detective themselves to get anything from him

So since Dave and Prester are both eldritch creatures, do they know about each other?

Eldrich creatures? What ever do you mean? They're both totally normal cogs uwu

In all seriousness, though, I think the both of them didn't know each other until they met; and when they locked eyes, they learned everything about each other. To make sure they both keep quiet about their secret, they've become pals over the years, me thinks; but they only talk or do anything together in private. They've found it to be kinda fun using their eldrich abilities to do things in secret.

(Pics are better quality if you click them)

#Prester comes from Ye Olde Toontown #He knows how to grow some ancient purple haze if you catch my drift #he and Dave get high off it every so often and nobody will ever know that these two are pals in secret #it's our secret x3 #Prester lights the joints with fire magic #Dave and Prester didn't know anything about each other until they first met #Dave doesn't want anyone to know he's a spooky eldrich being and Prester doesn't want anyone to know he's a dragon possessed half corpse #so truce it is between the two of them; they know too much about each other #Prester is still a wip of what he is; but dragon possessed half corpse seems accurate ish? I'll have to think of a way to better say what #ttcc #toontown corporate clash #imagionary rambles #toontown: corporate clash #ttcc au #dave brubot #major player #prester virgil #witch hunter #tw drugs #Prester is a sorcerer or warlock and practices dark and fire magics and necromany #he drove a screw through his own head but we aren't sure for what yet (possibly possession?)

im increasingly interested in writing fic about kaiba as a volatile, bull-headed, difficult person to get along with, and the effect this has on his relationships and the people around him... how mokuba deals with it, how atem deals with it, etc... loving someone in their entirety, flaws and all, while at the same time recognizing the relationship can be difficult or frustrating or upsetting... kaiba as a person capable of tremendous grace and self-reflection AND tremendous selfishness and high-intensity emotions and the people who love him know this... gnawing my bone, circling my enclosure...

#intern memo #i just think he has very little patience and he doesn't understand his own emotions well #i think mokuba spends a lot of time #managing his mood and also sometimes catching crossfire just because he's there. not because he did anything wrong and like #that doesn't change the fact they love each other. it would just mean their relationship isn't all sunshine and sweetness nd can actually b #frustrating and exhausting. and that's okay and mokuba cares for him deeply anyway

the amount of people divided on how AFO looks is hilarious:

You got people saying he's hot, you got people saying he's ugly.

You got the DFO community saying he look nothing like Izuku dad, you got non believers others saying that he looks exactly like he be Izuku dad.

You got those crying over the fact he's got no freckles and those rejoicing that he doesn't, both DFO and non DFO.

Let's be real, AFO looks exactly like I thought he look, dudes plain AF, he possible the most normal looking character of All of MHA. Heck his brother has an more interesting design. If it wasn't for his height I could totally see him as some rando background character. And I'm like 100% convinced this is why people are so divided on him.

#All for one #dude doesn't really look like anything #and i find that so funny #you could equally say he isn't and is Izuku father and i'd believe both #i just find it funny how plain he looks there nothing really about him i would consider eye catching at all #that's not saying he unattractive or that he is or isn't Hisashi Midoriya #but look me in the eye and say that looks like what you consider to be the big bad #do i think he looks like Izuku #No but do i think he could be pass off as his father yes #give it to Hori to make AFO character vague enough that people will debate this #bnha #bnha spoiler

Okay this might be a really weird ask so I'm sorry in advance but- what does Sera smell like? Does she smell like feathers because she has wings, like Vincent? (Again hope this isn't weird..)

Not weird at all! Lol a few people have asked before, you're all good.

Birdpeople have notoriously weak noses. Their sense of smell (and taste by proxy) is pretty dull as a result. It's partly how Ser's food is always plain and Vincent smells like a SAW-scented teen who's been tarred and feathered. Sera doesn't particularly care about expensive perfumes like someone (cough Sonia) but she does like floral scents.

She smells like Lavender (Body wash/Shampoo) and baby talc powder. (Powder keeps her wings nice, dry, and itch-free.) When she's not working she uses a rose perfume Nate gave her.

#birdpeople tag #I neglect the birdpeople tag a lot... gotta catch them up one day #She doesn't have the 'feather' smell. She's always on top of herself. Vincent's waterproofing makes him smell a bit like wet chicken though #Monica loved lavender. She put it up all around the house to help her sleep. It's the little things that remind Sera of her. #“It is NOT baby powder I don't want to hear it” “Yeah okay sure Sera are you cranky? want a nappy poo?” “...You are on thin ice Sonia” #Okay so thinking about what everyone smells like is oddly fun lol #Nate smells fresh all the time. He's all washed clothes and colognes like Polo Blue. #Amon smells like basic bodywash #He doesn't care too much about getting something fancy and will brag about his 5 buck cologne being a steal #Ricky smells nice. He goes out of his way to get nicely groomed to “get all the baddies 🤪” Okay Ricky. #He doesn't smell like anything when in goo form though. #Sonia smells like expensive perfume and body oils. It's awesome but can be a bit much at times. Vincent could not care less about it #Sonia would rather die than be rustic. #Vincent smells like Vincent. He is ironically extremely hygenic but the odds are never in his favor #Titan smells like caked blood #Dr. Strohl smells fresh and nice but also has a hint of retro tv static smell. I do not know how to explain further. #Uhh something something variants smell different depending on their habits not necessarily their bodily composition #ARK_SYSTEMA #Seraphinatag

re: the previous anon and oliver saying buck has to work for his next romantic interest, isn't it quite likely he was referencing having to be the one to go back to tommy and convince him to go out with him again after he bombed the first date? it feels like a lot of the things they say in interviews that sound like it should be a big noticeable thing end up being quite small, blink and you miss it

it COULD very well be what oliver was referring to, but i don't really see that as buck working for it...because he did not do any self-reflection the entire episode about the failed date (aside from eddie's role in it) and whether he should give it a shot or not. eddie had to literally ask him if he thought he was ready or not and then tell him to go for it. would buck have even made that phone call had eddie not told him to? i doubt it. and given that tommy pretty much agreed in the blink of an eye to not only continue to date but also to go to a wedding with buck for...whatever reason...yeah i wouldn't really see this as an example of buck 'working' for anything lol

#neethu answers #anon #and it still doesn't change the fact that the entire thing started with tommy literally falling into buck's lap without him lifting a finge #to do anything or to genuinely try anything to catch his interest or make the way he felt known #and he still really hasn't—tommy is still apparently so enamored with him that he just agreed to something that's. well. pretty dumb. #so 🤷🏼🤷🏼

#I didn't want to go off in the notes of that last rb but it actually is such good advice #and basically solved the main issue I was having with GC's plot which was like... #Maksim would probably have a SIGNIFICANTLY easier time getting away from Alabast if he would just. change his fucking name. #so I was like okay. Well he's not an idiot so why doesn't he do that? and the answer is he's sentimental :/ #outwardly he insists that he has no emotional attachment to his life or family in Russia but also all these years later #he's still going by a derivative of the surname he was born with (Maksimov) because he can't let go of that last little tether #and if you dig REALLY deep it's about abandonment issues and the fact he's good at walling people off but not fully cutting them out #so he has all these elaborate plans and makes peace with the inevitability of having to run if (when) they catch up with him #because he can't--WON'T--do the one thing that would stop that from happening #and I think the contrast with Ilya who has absolutely no ties to anyone or anything and was doing Just Fine hiding from their past #and the fact that they're only forced to reckon with it because they get caught in the crossfire of /Maksim's/ conflict #is so so delicious. or it would be. if I finished writing it :')

I need more content about the post-resolved paradox in my enclosure

We are not doing enough don't you see?? The Captain and the head engineer dont comfort each other to sleep Mark has insomnia and the captain has narcolepsy dont you see????

There are so many different ways the paradox could have affected them depending on which route you took and how you interpret it like!! Aside from the obvious guilt and PTSD how does it affect their mental health? Their relationship with each other? With the crew? Their relationship to the mission?

What if the captain quit on the spot?? Why don't i see anyone suggesting that?? Imagine how fucking stunned Mark would be. He was probably thinking "time for a new beginning!" because the captain gave him hope so imagine if the captain decided "this is the end for me" out of nowhere!! Hello!!!!!

TALK TO ME

#the captain having narcolepsy is a big hc of mine #The Captain Needs Their Sleep #their body sleeps and sleeps to the detriment of their work and relationships and its never enough #almost like its trying to catch up on lifetimes of sleep they didnt realize they were living #mark cant sleep he's too busy working #its the only thing he feels like he can do anymore #he doesn't know where he stands with the crew he doesnt know if hes going to be sought out for arrest #he doesn't know anything #all he knows is how to mechanically pass the time #in space with markiplier #iswm #captain #head engineer #head engineer mark #markiplier #iswm captain #captain's log

im not even done my current kuwameshi fic and im already getting ideas about new ones...

#kuwameshi #give me a sec i'll reblog later with the actual idea but like #WHAT IF UM KUWAMESHI BUT UM. PRINCESS BRIDE AU... #i also have another song fic idea but it's way sillier than the one i have on ao3 #based off you me and steve by garfunkel and oates #i got the idea cos i just remembered when yusuke got back from training with genkai the 1st time and instead of a 1 on 1 date with keiko #kuwabara is also? there? and it's just so funny to me like what. and then they're supposed to all 3 go to the movies together? #AND WHEN THEY GET THERE THE 2 BOYS DITCH KEIKO?? for a mission yeah but she doesn't know that!! #and then yusuke and keiko actually go on a date alone and it gets interrupted cos of younger toguro #and shortly after kuwabara shows up so it looks like he was bound to come across them?? #as far as a i remember the next time yu and keiko get together alone is the day he tells her to just wait and she's like im literally #not gonna wait for you <3 and it was so funny she just walked off lmaoo #anyway im trying to say i wanna make a silly little fic addressing the fact that keiko is like. pursuing her crush on yusuke #but kuwabara is kinda just. always there and it's fun she does like him but it's just awkward #planning on having her ask kuwa to maybe give her and yusuke some time alone like maybe just avoid their next outing #and kuwa is like oh damn :( ok good luck and yusuke shows up to the date and he's like woah wait. where tf is kuwabara? #keiko is like bruh. and she makes up some shit about him mentioning that he felt sick or wtv and yusuke is like ''then y are we here? #i should check on him. i dont think that guy has even been put outta commission by anything but my fist!'' and keiko just follows him #cos what else can she do. and kuwa is fine ofc and yusuke is like bro what gives i thought you were sick and kuwa is dense sometimes but he #catches on from keiko's desperate look and he's like well i got better *flexes his arm* and yu is like i knew you were too dumb to catch #a cold. and he's stupid happy that kuwa is fine and can come with them after all ''hey he's fine ya hear that keiko'' #and then keiko is watching this whole exchange eyes blown wide open and she's like actually i just remembered i have plans #you two should totally go without me tho and yu agrees so easily that it just solidifies that she made the right call #kuwa is looking back at her all confused and she gives HIM the good luck thumbs up. he gets as red as his hair and #yusuke is worried he really is coming down with something

My Durge is basically feral before the amnesia- she's a cannibal that eats raw meat and fucks corpses, and there's always dried blood and bits of brain matter on her, and she smells like rotten flesh. Even the other Bhaalists don't really like her. So when Enver Gortash, Chosen of Bane and soon-to-be Grand Duke decides, "Oh I can't not fuck that," everyone assumes he's lost his damn mind

#nevvy speaks #bg3 durge #durgetash #to be fair he DOES make her take a bath before they fuck #edited to correct a typo ToT #i hate when i don't catch them before posting #but i wrote this post in the break room at work and i had to get back so i didn't proofread carefully enough #anyway threnody isn't 'wildly out of control' feral she's more 'doesnt care about anything but serving her father and killing' feral #which means that pretty much all points of social interaction and personal hygiene fall by the wayside #she's barely verbal and deeply antisocial and doesn't see the point of doing anything that won't further her father's plans #nevvy plays bg3

[somestorythoughts]

Radioactive Eldritch Jedi

Okay so when I say radioactive. The Force is primordial and eldritch and the jedi (and any other force users of a comparable level) resonate with the echoes of this primoridal of-the-world-and-yet-not-the-world energy like your body when you’re so close to a marching bacd you can feel the drums in your bones and they’re not the music or the instruments, they’re only the echo thereof, but the echo of something from the depths that bore the universe is still A Lot.

And when you look at them. There’s teeth that aren’t there the next minute, you could count them again and again for half an hour and never get the same number twice in a row. And that’s not mentioning when their teeth don’t fit in their mouth, don’t match each other, when there aren’t teeth in their mouths but claws...

That’s just one element of their face which is one element of their body.

You can smell them, even the species that don’t have particularly good senses of smell though it is far more distracting for them. Something fresh with light or rotting with dark, herby or sea salty or citrusy or floral and threaded with sweat or blood or sex to suit whatever they’ve been doing and it wouldn’t be remarkable except they smell simultaneously like their species and like something else entirely in a way that is clearly but indescribably not caused by soap or perfume or oil.

There’s a resonance in their voices. Something like there’s a drumbeat in their throat, like they’re speaking with the vibrations of a song you’ve always heard without knowing it, but always perfectly understandable. The sound of jedi singing in harmony with feeling has reduced cities to tears of joy or tears of pain, blood dripping from their ears in mirror of their tears.

Don’t get me started on their shadows, on the way they move in the dark

And they’d be leaking this strangeness 24/7 except they keep themselves so tightly shielded, not only hiding themselves so that they appear uncanny and not terrifyingly Other (they’ve been there time and time again and it is a problem. There are Consequences) but also keeping any of this force-energy-resonance leaking out into the world. Places where force sensitives have lived a long time thrum like a pulse, are touches with the energy of generations of force users relaxing enough to let their shields lower and their selves to leak and brush the walls and tables, etching their presences into the place like fire into wood, and when this touches people it changes them.

Not immediately. Not quickly. It can take months for anything to change and this is why jedi keep their shields maintained, because if you’re fully shielded nothing will happen, and this is part of why attachments are risky, because the emotion can affect the shields can change the one you love, because to say you love a jedi is not the same as accepting all that they are and being willing to change along with them because you can’t dodge that forever, and saying you’re willing to do this isn’t the same as being willing.

The changes aren’t quick, and not as Eldritch as the jedi, but they are permanent and definitely Other.

When shields crack or break, when a jedi lashes out with the force, it brushes an imprint on everything around them (those with any kind of vision skills can find this difficult or comforting to deal with, like a too-large gulp of hot tea) and a few times on the same thing doesn’t matter. Genuinely. Repeition is an entirely different matter.

War is hell. 

War is hell, and the jedi are holding on to each other for support, clinging interlocking arms, but they’re scattered around the galaxy and it’s so hard to actually reach each other.

Sometimes to know you’re supported isn’t enough. Not when you can’t reach their shoulder to lean on, for just a moment.

And the clones are going through hell with them, are dying around them, and they reach out to support the jedi who are doing their best not only to help them survive but to help them live in a war that wants them dead for a senate that doesn’t care and the jedi recognizes them as people so they reach out and the jedi can’t help but reach back.

The clones catch them when they fall, love them in different ways each as sure as the tides, and the jedi relax into it without realizing. Their shields crack over and over again because war is hell, but they also find them relaxing them, instinctively and unconsciously, because so little is certain but the clones’ willingness to go to hell and back for them is one of them and they feel safe.

And the echoes of the force that resonate in the heartbeats-nervepulses-bloodflows of the jedi leaves imprints on the clones that rises like paint added layer by layer and it changes them.

The clones don’t have a childhood of familiarity to fall back on, much less the shielding techniques to keep them looking “normal.” What they have is legions of brothers willing to support each other come hell or high water or unending clankers and jedi who at first beg their forgiveness for changing them (because it wasn’t supposed to happen and because they like how they are but everyone already sees them as strange and to beg forgiveness for making them like them is many jedi’s first instinct) then teach them how to hide it when they need to and the comfort of singing together, their voices ringing through their ships in tune with the thrumming in their blood, bone-deep.
