... Does Leo blame himself for causing the apocalypse?

Uhm...in my own au, I think it starts off as him blaming himself, yeah. I don't think I really explored the very beginning though..hm. But after he loses Cassandra, then Raph, and then Donnie, I think he starts feeling more responsible more than anything else. Especially considering how Leo is now responsible for Cassandra's kid, and he initially co-led the resistance with Raph.

As it stands, I think Leo's progression goes like..blame -> worry -> anger -> guilt -> responsible

That might change...who knows...

[palebonedry]

Could you tell us something more about nyavka!afo, please? How many appearances he has, what’s his opinion on Kudou, what sort of legend locals made of him and maybe something about his first follower 🥺?

Thank you for your ask. Of course! 😁

I rambled for quite a bit so I'm putting this under a read more:

Appearance wise Yoichi is the more traditional of the two with longer hair and sheer white clothing if he is wearing anything. But I think AFO would explore his style a bit more (on days he chooses to wear clothing of course) He often takes garments from those he has drowned, he may wear the tattered pieces around him like a robe. An older AFO might even wear some actual shirts if he is feeling fancy.

Both enjoy adorning themselves in foliage and wreathes but between the two AFO is far more likely to not wear them, and when he does he prefers more ostentatious and darker arrangements. (Even in death and a quirkless world he still needs to dress like a super villain lol). Additionally I have thought of them both with very long hair like would be more traditional for Nyavka, perhaps they did that when they were younger.

Concerning local legends, no one knows AFO's name but they are certainly aware that something lurks in the waters of the forest. Locals say that after two brothers drowned after being chased out of a village, a massive flood destroyed it completely, due to the work of a vengeful spirit. Not to say that AFO is the only spirit in the forest but he is certainly one of the most aggressive and consistently murderous. Yoichi meanwhile goes out of his way *not* to drown people and can be even be benevolent when not giving in to his urges. And the neighboring rusalka (other water related spirits) tend not to drown everyone they come across, only those who they find amusing or who insult them.

Onto Machia. . ..Machia is a huntsman who was raised in the mountain nearby. Unlike many other people who have discarded myths he is very aware of legends came prepared with the proper things to keep his life and to bargain properly if he were to encounter any spirits . . . And encounter a spirit he did as AFO stood in river expecting another easy victim.

But Machia was something new. Countless others had begged before. But to have someone look at him in all of his terror and beauty like he was something to be worshipped instead of just sniveling in fear? To throw themselves at his feet offering themselves completely to him without having to strangle them first? That was new. . .Machia's proper offering of a bejeweled comb certainty helped him gain favor as well. (Like some rusalka stories Nyavka sometimes are placated with gifts such a comb in some stories) So AFO decided to let him live. . . With the promise of Machia returning with more finery naturally. Machia of course falls head over heels for him, while AFO is delighted to be worshipped. I imagine in his own way he does feel some affection for Machia (even if he does not recognize it at the start) but it's certainly twisted by his being an undead spirit and it's very much again based on what Machia can do for him.

As for Kudou . . . Oh he despises Kudou. Yoichi is his and has always been his. When Yoichi fled with the man it was naturally Kudou's fault and not a result of AFO trying to kill Kudou and control Yoichi. The two were born together, died together, and he refuses to let some mortal break those bonds now. This concept has many versions, in several he either tricks Yoichi into killing Kudou (with the help of Machia) or drowns the man himself. Even in happier endings where Yoichi escapes with Kudou, he is willing to take some extreme actions to hunt him down and get Yoichi back.

Some other miscellaneous info: - even an undead quirkless AFO is still a hoarder he collects trinkets from drowned souls and the villages he has ravaged. He and Yoichi live in a cave which is primarily filled with this "treasure". He appreciates the luxurious offerings Machia brings even more, even if he has no use for fine furs and horilka he still likes feeling revered. -Yoichi and AFO had a frankly miserable and short human life, during which they were both considered cursed by those around them. Neither of them have many good memories but Yoichi is more idealistic and willing to let himself be more vulnerable around Kudou, while AFO would prefer to pretend he was never human in the first place. One of the reasons he likes Machia so much is because of how he treats him like an untouchable god.

[kleinv01]

Don't answer this if you don't want to

Why would Klein still strangle us if he said himself that he is ok with us uninstalling his app😭 Plus killing Sera and Yael

I am assuming that Klein is the one to strangle us, I mean who else could it be, Al? Ethan? Why would they be mad at us

://SYSTEM_MESSAGE_ANSWERED

im sorry LMAO

you really can't trust every single thing that klein says. because if he's willing to do so much more than 'killing' just to have you, then lying and manipulating you would be nothing for him

[starryluminary]

Hey @starryluminary the last comic you did was absolutely beautiful i almost cried to it. Also I have 2 questions

1. How do Heather and Courtney feel about noco being a thing.

2. Is there a possibility that Sierra will get eliminated if she keeps slowing her team down over Cody and Noah or if she keeps getting too crazy.

Thank you very much!! I am. Shocked I can elicit that much emotion with my work. I’m glad though that means I’m doing something right

1. Heather and Courtney are experts at Minding Their Business!! They do not care about the situation enough to have a solid opinion on it. If you wonder why I don’t draw them nearly enough in the events of the episodes it’s because they’re off having their own separate adventure away from the nonsense. They’ll get more involved soon enough, and you’ll see more of their insight towards all of it then.

2. I don’t want to give too much away in terms of elimination but. The possibility will always be there. That doesn’t mean the opportunity will be seized. Will it be? Wont it be? Who knooowwwsss

#thank you for your curiosities anon I hope those were good enough answers #total drama #world tour but noco are the only ones kissing #Starry has a question

[inkblackorchid]

Can I ask you something? Have you considered doing a fanfic of Aki facing odd against her hold black rose witch persona which I'm surprised wasn't a episode to begin with I mean the idea is too good to waste

The ask box is always open for a reason, my friend!

But to answer your question: Yes, I absolutely have considered the idea of Aki coming face to face with the Black Rose Witch and being forced to confront her own past in a very literal way. The problem with this scenario is mainly one: Logistics. Seeing as Aki can hardly physically split herself in two, making this possible would require supernatural shenanigans of some kind, if you ask me. And sure, 5Ds has plenty of those, but what to use? Time travel? (High potential to shoot yourself in the foot.) A sort of supernatural test of willpower? (Okay, sure, but where, why, and how?) Try to keep it simple, say it's just a nightmare and all in Aki's head? (Possible, but pretty basic.) Say Iliaster creates another signer double, and Aki has to take it down same as Jack took down his? (Runs the risk of being a rehash of the fake Jack episodes, unfortunately.)

Depending on how they're written, I don't necessarily think any of these options are better or worse than the other, and I agree, the opportunity to have Aki literally confront herself would have been great. As far as my own writing is concerned, my main issue, personally, would be where the hell to slot this into canon. Because writing it just as-is, with zero context and no place on the canon timeline, isn't my style. Therefore, I'd have to find a spot for this, and ideally give it some kind of nice payoff, too. And the way my Aki stuff is going right now, especially with the next, big fic I'm currently working on, I'm not sure I could fit this in anywhere. (At least not without making things seem really, really bloated in terms of plot threads and tension.)

That said, I have thought about it before, and may yet think more about it in the future. So I'm not categorically denying I'll ever write this. I'd just love to place it somewhere where it makes sense and haven't found that spot (nor the best way to execute this scenario) just yet.

#yugioh 5ds #aki izayoi #akiza izinski #ask the orchid #I realise this answer might not be entirely satisfying #but this is one of those scenarios that bounces around my head occasionally without ever forming into a coherent outline #bc I'm such a logistics person when it comes to writing and haven't managed to make this one work out so far #but yeah I hope this at least somewhat satisfies your curiosity! #perhaps I should find some peeps to bounce ideas around with about this some time #orchid rambles

So if every human on earth's jaws simultaneously broke how loud do you think that would be

#But in a tuality it depends on what kind of break it is and how audible it is. #The metric is kind of inaccurate because instead of having a big sound all at once #You would have a noise spread over the planet that's likely louder in areas of high population density #And lower in places like. I don't know. Montana #And you'd also have background noise for the jaw breaking noise to contend with #And the sound of millions of things going Very Wrong directly after like car wrecks and plane crashes would be much louder #Than the initial jaw breaking noise #So. No easy answer to your question #Hope this saves your curiosity #fake blog

Kinda weird but what’s the story behind you winning a war against the university of Waterloo on r/place?

ohhh man it like...over a year ago at this point, but lemme see what I can remember

so, I wasn't around for the first r/place. i mean, I was alive for it, but I wasn't in the right circles to have an interest in participating. but i still thought it was cool. so when the second one rolled around, i was super excited to join.

now, at the time, most of the fandoms/groups i was in were well-equipped to handle themselves, so while i could join those causes, it didn't feel like I needed to be there. but then i learned that one of my favourite twitch streamers, DumbDog, was organizing to put him and his friends (chiblee, HCJustin) on the map. Nothing big. Maybe a total of like, 50x15 pixels. But as a smaller community, they definitely needed all the help they could get.

So for a while, it was the typical r/place experience. You get a picture down, one or two pixels get griefed, and you fix it. At one point, the logo for the NY Jets popped up to our right, and we became fast friends. Anytime they started losing ground, we'd charge in with reinforcements.

And then the universities showed up. On our left, in a cute little row, four crests came into being: University of British Colombia, University of Alberta, McMaster University, and University of Toronto. They slot in perfectly next to our spot. It was serendipitous.

Except apparently, the University of Waterloo disagreed. See, they wanted to go next to their buddies. But that would mean covering up part of our claim. And sure, we could keep trying to fend them off, but the problem with most of the Twitch graphics on r/place was that the audience was only engaged while the streamer was live. Once they logged off, most people jumped to another community.

But here's the thing.

r/place happened in April.

And by a stroke of luck, DumbDog happened to be in the middle of a subathon.

DumbDog was live 24 hours a day.

Our community was NON-STOP. Already invigorated by the idea of passing milestones, hitting subgoals, and making our streamer do silly bits, we were relentless in our defense. We had spies infiltrate the Universities' discord, and whenever they tried to coordinate a big takeover, we shut them down.

(funnily enough, I don't think we ever revealed ourselves. to this day, I think they blame UofT for everything)

In the end, UWaterloo had to take the L and moved themselves down. They looked very silly, being out of alignment from the other crests.

And at the very end, when the white void was consuming the canvas, you can bet your ass we vanished them in an instant.

#sorry that was a long answer but i wanted to recreate how epic and intense this battle was #i hope that satisfies your curiosity #gimme a sec i can find some pictures to accompany this #r/place #badger answers #badger post

My Brother Is Also My Dad…?

(A Drabble Requested By @shacchou )

"It's time for my Final Phase and time to finish you off, Akatsuki! Impact Call! I pay 3 Gauge To evolve Bal into an Impact Monster!" Mokuba declares, three of the floating cards in his gauge meter turning into stars as their energy floods into the monster located to his right area.

"Bal…Bal will do his super best, bal!"

"Bal is now a Size Two monster, with 1100 attack and 6000 defense and a critical of five thanks to having Bal Knuckle equipped! And his attacks cannot be nulified, meaning that Art of Body Replacement card I know you have in your hand is useless!"

"Oh no! I knew I should have used that to guard your item's attack earlier, but with only one card left in your hand, I didn't think you could have possibly had your Impact Monster!" His ninja friend panics, realizing his mistake as soon as Mokuba pointed it out. Seems like he still had a long way to go to catch up to his brother in terms of Buddyfighting.

"Go for it, Bal!"

"Bal Burst Smasher!!!!"

And the attack succeds, the impact of Bal's attack reducing Akatsuki's remaining life points in record time. The young Kaiba had outplayed his opponent by anaylzing the situation and predicting what cards they may hold. Mokuba truly did learn a lot about gaming by watching his brother, and was using that knowledge even in a game his brother hadn't played. He was a Kaiba and a gamer in his own right, and his victory today was a showcase of why.

"Game End. Winner: Mokuba Kaiba."

The sound coming from Mokuba's Core Gadget, which took the form of a floating capsule akin to those found in Capsule Monsters Chess, signaling the end of the match. The effects of the fight vanished immediately as Akatsuki's Katana World flag shattered, and the proud Sun Dragon returned to his mini form in a flash of light.

"Mokuba and Bal won, bal!"

"We sure did! We totally kicked their butt! Up top, Bal!" The raising of his hand for a high five was soon met with the dragon's own palm, both winners giggling and celebrating their victory. Mokuba really had come to get good at Gao's Scorching Sun Dragon Deck that Baku had made not too long after he met Bal. In fact, some suspected if Mokuba became more than just a casual Buddyfighter, that Bal might have become his buddy instead of Gao's.

With the dragon now atop his fluffy hair, Mokuba moves to exit the Castle's Buddyfight arena to meet his opponent and his Buddy Monster, both understandably disheartened by the loss. Noticing this, the Kaiba approaches them, offering them a friendly handshake of good sportsmanship that Bal then mimics.

"Hey, don't look so down, guys! You both played well today. If I didn't have that Green Dragon Shield in my hand on the previous turn, Byakuya's Shadow Dive mulit-attack combo would have taken the rest of my life points! Besides, I had a lot of fun playing with you guys today!"

"Bal loves Buddyfighting with Akatsuki and Byakuya, bal!" The dragon adds, his innocence and sunshine smile, along with Mokuba's kind words, seeming to improve the other's moods rather quickly. Both monster and Buddyfighter return the handshakes, a confident expression now facing Akatsuki's face.

"Yeah…that was pretty fun! We did almost have you. But next time Mokuba, it will be us who are the winner! Big Z and I are going to go through a special training together soon! When we're finished, no one will be able to beat us!"

"I look forward to seeing the results of that training, Akatsuki."

The two boys and two monsters then both laugh together. Following his adoption, never did he celebrate a match with his opponent like this, win or lose. This change in his behavior was a sure sign that his friends, as well as Yugi Muto and his own crew, really had rubbed off on him. It…It felt good to be able to share games like this again with others. Now he just needed to get into doing them regularly with his brother, a task that seemed more impossible than one might realize.

"That was a great fight, everyone!"

The voice of Gao Mikado breaks through their laughter, Bal immediately waving to his Buddy and the others who were accompanying him. Among the group included Gao's other Buddy, Drum Bunker Dragon, in addition to Gao's two friends Baku and Kuguru. Mokuba may not be as close with the Mighty Sun Fighter's deck builder and analyst as he was with the Buddyfighter proper, but he had come to call the pair his friends in their own right.

"Gao saw Bal and Mokuba's fight, bal!?" The dragon asked, quickly jumping off from Mokuba to instead land right ontop of Gao's shoulder.

"I sure did, buddy. You two were totally in sync out there! It was so cool to watch, and I think I may have picked up a strategy or two by watching ya!"

"I'm surprised you played the deck I made to match Gao's fight style so well, Mokuba. Call me impressed, bro." Baku adds, the compliment being a high one from a deck builder of his caliber.

"I saw no holes in your strategy, either. You took advantage of the Sun Dragon's unique skills perfectly." Kuguru then comments, pulling up her tablet to then show Mokuba the statistics she took during the match that support her claims. "Your Impact Call in particular was perfectly timed. Your attack formation and demeanor threw your opponent off from using his defensive spell prior."

"N-No need to rub it in..." The young ninja says, his expression looking disheartened. That's when he feels Byakuya gently pat his back, offering his Buddy some comfort.

"If he's getting high praise from you two, then that just proves it! Mokuba, you're an amazing Buddyfighter!"

The wave of compliments hit him hard, elating the young boy's heart. It was, after all, not a common occurrence that he was complimented for his gaming skills. Seto always took the spotlight when it came to that, and while he certainly thinks his brother is deserving of such praise, it felt good to hear it for himself too. Mokuba was a gamer in his own right, and he took pride in that fact, a pride not too dissimilar to Seto's own.

"Keh. Would you expect anything less from me? We Kaiba's are Gamemasters, after all! Mastering multiple games is our trademark!" Mokuba says with a prideful smile and hands on his hips for a few moments, soaking in the attention. He then takes his now de-transformed Core Deck Case out of his pocket and removes the deck out of it to hand back to Gao. "But…thank you for letting me borrow your Scorching Sun Dragon deck, Gao. It's always a blast to fight with Bal!"

"You can use it anytime! You know Bal is down for it!"

"Bal wants to fight everyone with Mokuba, bal! That be the best day ever, bal! Everyone Buddyfighting together, bal!"

"Huh…" The youngest Kaiba speaks, his mind formulating an idea sparked on by the dragon's words. "You know? That isn't a bad idea, Bal. We should…We should do something to make that happen. Like…throw our own Buddyfight tournament, with the winner getting some kind of prize! That way, everyone will be playing seriously!"

"A tournament with all our friends, huh? Now that sounds interesting! I'm in!" Gao's signature grin appears on his face, matching the one Mokuba formed on his own.

"You'd invite Big Z to this tournament too, right Mokuba?"

"Of course, Akatsuki! Can't leave you or your brother out of this! Same goes for Tasuku and Suzuha too!" Mokuba would invite his own brother if he was interested in playing the game, which he no doubt wasn't. He was too obsessed with Duel Monsters to probably even think of trying it. Besides, this kind of thing was so not Seto's vibe.

"I'd wanna invite all the best Buddyfighters you guys know, too! Like your classmates and upperclassmen, Gao! It won't be any kind of official event or anything, but I'm sure it will be fun! Plus, we can have it at my house! If…If…"

Mokuba then pauses for a moment, his expression changing from one of excitement to one that looked slightly disheartened. He takes out his phone then, staring at his home screen which contained a more recent photo of himself and Seto he took at Kaiba Land.

"If what, bal?"

"If I can get permission from Seto, first. He needs to approve any and all social gatherings that happen at the house, whether it's something like this or even just having one person over to play games." That's why Mokuba often hung out with his friends in public places or in their own homes. The process was much easier. "On top of that, he'd probably want background checks on everyone who'd be coming over who he isn't familiar with, Buddy Monsters included. Not to mention just selling him on the idea to begin with…"

The idea did seem like it be a tough sell, considering it's size and scale. It's not like this was a promotion event or anything related to the business. This was just something he wanted to do for fun with his friends, and while Seto respected Mokuba's choice to pursue what he wished, this was…different. He would be agreeing to invite multiple strangers, a whole group of them that included monsters with supernatural abilities, into his home. It was a massive security risk, as well as a distraction.

He hates to admit it, but…as much as he wanted it to happen, he just can't see Seto agreeing to it. This reality is shown on his face, Mokuba sighing heavily in defeat before the battle even began.

"Man…That's…That's tough, Mokuba." Gao comments, gritting his teeth as he looks to the side. "He's stricter with you than my mom is with me, and that's saying something."

"Lord Seto's even stricter than Big Z is with me!" Akatsuki chimes in. "I remember when you told me he banned energy drinks from your house and at Kaiba Corp just because you drank one too many one day!"

"Never met the guy personally, but it really does sound like he's basically your dad, bro. And a very, very overprotective one at that. I think he needs to chill out a bit, if you ask me."

Baku's comment takes Mokuba aback a few short moments, his purple hues blinking in utter confusion at the deck builder. "What…What do you mean by that, Baku? Seto isn't…isn't my dad. He's my big brother, always has been. And the stuff he does…is just what big brothers do. He's looking out for me, that's all."

"Big bros look out for their siblings, sure. But…" He then sticks a lollipop from his pocket into his mouth, Baku always being one to snack on something during almost any occasion. "I don't think it's the norm for little bros to ask their big bro for permission for everything, or for big bros to ban things from the house or want background checks on people coming into their house. Those are things that parents typically do. Gao, do you do that kind of stuff for Hana?"

"No way, Baku! That's Mom and Dad's job! I just do my part to look out for her, that's all. Though, if anything, she looks out for me! We all wouldn't get up on time if she wasn't there." Gao says, Bal and Drum nodding their heads in agreement.

"And Akatsuki, does Zanya do that kind of stuff for you?"

"Sorta…Big Z does a lot of things for me, but…he more enforces Father's rules when it comes to discipline. He…He tries to be like him when he's not around."

"And Mokuba. Isn't your big bro your legal guardian?"

"Y-Yeah…B-But that's because…because…" The words stop coming from his mouth, Mokuba unable to find an answer. He was completely stumped here, despite always having some sort of line to say when it came to his brother.

"He's the one responsible for you? The one who is raising you? The one who goes to parent-teacher conferences? Just face it, he's essentially your dad too, bro."

Those words from the deck builder, ones that Mokuba could not understand but was unable to fight against, caused him to stare back at the picture of Seto on his phone again. To him, everything Seto had done since they were kids was normal sibling behavior. Sure, they were in different circumstances compared to other children, but all of it seemed normal to him. But…he sometimes forgets how different his life was compared to those around him, and how that shaped his worldview.

"I…I should get going. It is getting late. Don't want to cause my br-" He pauses for a moment before changing his word. "Seto to worry. I'll…I'll get back to you guys on the tournament idea. If…If it doesn't work at my place, I'm sure Suzuha can host it just fine. That girl has multiple Buddyfight arenas underground at her castle."

That's when he starts to leave the area, putting some pep in his step. His heart and mind were a bag of mixed feelings that he just couldn't comprehend right now. He only stops his exit when he hears the voice of Kuguru calling his name. Mokuba turns around then, his eyes glancing upon the analyst.

"What Baku dear said…He didn't mean it as a bad thing, right Baku?" Kuguru glances at the other with a sharpness behind her glasses, her gaze a signal that he better answer correctly.

"O-Of course not. I'm…I'm sorry if what I said upset you at all. My bad, bro. Sometimes I can be a bit too blunt…" Baku answers, taking his candy out of his mouth, his face portraying his regret. He wasn't too close with Mokuba compared to some of the others here, and if he had, he probably wouldn't have made this comment to begin with. Anyone who knew the Kaiba knew he was sensitive when it came to his brother.

"Your brother may be a bit overprotective like a parent, but what big brother isn't overprotective of their precious sibling?" Kuguru speaks, glancing over at Atatsuki and Gao.

"I can confirm Lord Zanya is very, very protective of Lord Akatsuki. Like there was this one time when someone tried to-" The words of Byakuya are then cut off as Akatsuki covers his mouth, no doubt trying to stop the chatterbox of a monster from saying something highly embarrassing.

"Yota…protected me in his own way. Even when he was in the hospital, he did all he could to help protect my spirits and…leave me hope for the future." Gao says, sunshine hues glancing up at his hat which was a signature part of his Mighty Sun Fighter uniform, the one his mother originally made for Yota to wear. "And I try to keep that hope alive…for Hana."

Drum then steps forward from Gao's side, walking over to meet Mokuba directly. "Listen, kid. Your brother may be one of the grumpiest humans I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, but…in a lot of ways, he reminds me of how we dragons are. Not all dragons…get to be raised by their parents. I'm one of the lucky ones who has, and let me tell you, my old man is worse than your brother could ever hope to be when it comes to discipline. He threw me across worlds to train because I didn't get his stupid riddle right!"

Mokuba, and the others for that matter, start to laugh a bit at the story. Normally such a display would upset Drum, but right now, he was clearly more focused on the younger Kaiba than himself. He certainly has matured since arriving to Earth, that's for sure. His father would be proud.

"My point is that what your family looks like or what you decide to call what they do isn't what really matters. What does is that you all care about each other, take care of each other, and your brother…cares about you more than most people, monster or human, I've ever met. That's something you should treasure, kid." Drum's words are followed by a nod and smile from everyone, Baku included.

The vice president, on instinct then, moves to open his pendent, staring at the picture of his brother when they were children. Waves of memories flood back to him, of the times Seto cared for him, did everything for him. Looking back, what Seto did for him did somewhat align with what he remembers his father doing for him back when he was alive. Deep down, Mokuba could have made the connection sooner if he wanted to, but it was clear he didn't.

His father was his father. His brother was his brother.

Those were what Mokuba knew them to be and that wasn't going to change. And even if in practicality, the roles of both of those individuals overlapped in Seto's behavior following his father's death, as his friends pointed out, what was important is that Seto loved him. His love was clearly shown through his actions, including the strict ones. He had always done all he could to look out for Mokuba, and if this conversation has reminded him of anything, it was to really appreciate everything his brother goes out of his way to do for him, despite the teen not initially understanding them at the time.

"I will." He says softly as he closes his pendant, gathering up his bag and preparing to head out. "Now, I better get going before my…big brother starts to worry about me. He can be quite the worry wort, and I don't want to be grounded! See you at school tommorow, Akatsuki! And keep an eye out for updates about the tournament, guys! I'm…I'm going to ask Seto, and maybe by some miracle, he'll actually agree to it!"

With that hopeful statement said, Mokuba takes his leave. He thought about asking Isano to drive him home, but he decided it would be faster if he ran. He…He wanted to see his big brother right now, to see him and give him a hug, a hug as a show of appreciation for all he's done for him…as a brother and beloved member of his family.

You’re writing your bachelor thesis on captain America?! Do you mind sharing about that it just seems so interesting to me? Like what’s your major btw?

hi! i am! i don't mind sharing at all :)

i'm at a university college in a liberal arts and sciences program, which is neat cause it's pretty much just a dyi curriculum. i've been here nearly three years, and have decided on a humanties concentration with a focus on history, cultural studies, and literature classes. it's quite fast-paced and a bit demanding sometimes but overall i'm really happy with it.

our thesis, or capstone, which we write in our last semester, is pretty much whatever you want it to be. i talked to a girl who is writing a sociology paper about the influence of andrew tate. my best friend is doing a policy evaluation of a proposed dutch law. i know there are people doing lab research in the sciences concentration. one of the example capstones made available to us is about racial representation in bridgerton. i'm writing about fanfiction.

i was really lucky to get one of my absolute favorite professors who teaches literature courses in my program to be my advisor, and he's been supportive of my wanting to write about fanfic -- he's sent me a bunch of wonderful books and sources 'from his secret vault', including that one 3k post of mine of the bucky tumblr post mentioned in academic writing. it's been really fun to explore fandom and fanfic in a more academic way, and i'm just so glad that he's supporting my passion for it.

i'm still in the early stages of the actual capstone -- the proposal is due mid next week -- but i've done a bunch of reading and outlined today, and i basically think i want to explore how fanfiction is an avenue through which fandom reclaims certain aspects of captain america and re-politicizes the character that was so politically powerful in the comics and was then wiped clean and likable by marvel studios for profit reasons. this was me rambling in my motherdoc earlier today: "Fandom, through fanfiction, reanimates and reclaims this character and explores the depth of his backstory and subsequent role as an icon of American power. Oft in connection to exploring his queer-coded relationship with companion Bucky Barnes, many fanfictions address the character's attitudes and connections with his title as ‘Captain America’ and draw a line between ‘Cap’ and ‘Steve’. They often refer to the Marvel Comics source material, pointing to the backstories elaborated upon in their narratives and the repeated references comics!Cap makes to his own political views."

my week off for easter is gonna be me (re)reading a bunch of fics that i feel do this and save some excerpts to use for argumentation. i just hope i can do this wonderful fandom and its fic even a semblance of justice 🎓

#i'm happy to ramble about this some more to anyone who wants to listen #thanks for your curiosity anon! #and kaaskop if you read this i hope i got your capstone topic right sjsjsj it would be embarrassing if i didn't #tortle answers #steve rogers #captain america #anon

Hi! Ed 12, 18, 21, 22 :3

Heyyyya!

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

Don't know if even counts as headcanon IMO, but he's almost incapable of hate. The only real exception is Little Ed Blue, and it's the exception that proves the rule (he was willing to hurt Edd of all people) The most negative opinion he can muster of someone is fear (as seen with the Kankers).

On a related note, seeing anybody fight upsets him deeply. One of the things that makes Ed happy is for everyone to get along ❤️ (at least when his mind is actually tethered to his physical surroundings 😶‍🌫️)

18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?

Honestly, it's Sarah. Putting aside the element of being parental neglect and favoritsm, he's protective of her, cause she's his little sister after all, and she really loves him deep down :)

21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

I've only written one fic featuring him heavily, and I should thank my older self (only a year ago lol) for having a crack at it, cause now I'd probably be more intimidated by trying to write Ed's lines. I haven't gone back to read it, so I can't remember how good it actually was hah

The most dreaded thing is trying to come up with his non-sequiturs. But I haven't had a chance to do it enough, so I can't say for sure. The best part is indulging in his goofiness and jolly humor :)

22. If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to ths character? Something you don't like?

I think quite simply, when you can tell the writer respects the character and tries to make an effort to understand his personality.

Let’s use our powers of induction. Between Leo and Usagi, who do we think fell first and who fell harder?

Asking for scientific reasons.

Hmm...that's a good question. It might just be me, but I think more often than not, I see Leo being the one who falls in love first and falls harder. Maybe it's more obvious of a display from Leo in that regard, but I can't say as I really know for sure who would fall faster and harder.

I think in my own au, Leo still would be the one to be attracted to Yuichi right off the bat. Yuichi would be rather oblivious to Leo's flirting or whatever, mostly because he would be actively working. Yuichi is deep in what he's doing for work and is kind of struggling to deal with work stuff to notice Leo's attempts to flirt and make a move. Eventually though, he would start feeling those feelings and reciprocate them. Leo's affection would probably be more obvious whereas Yuichi's would be more subtle.

The distance part of their relationship is kind of where their dynamic is reversed in how they show affection. Yuichi would fight to show Leo that he won't leave again and that he still loves him and still cares deeply about him. And Leo would be a bit more timid and stumble over his feelings and try to make sense of them through his grief.

I hope that makes sense..that was a lot hehe 😅

What hobbies do you partake in when you're not writing or working?

Do you have any pets? If so what's their name and why did you give them said name?

As a teacher/professor, what is the strangest or funniest thing you've heard/seen your students do/say?

Hello there friend! :)

Hobbies?! In this economy? XD Um, yes I have a few of those. I enjoy reading and playing video games mostly. (I am trying to finish Elden Ring at the moment but it keeps kicking my ass.) I also sometimes make an attempt at "arting" and create scribbles on my iPad.

2. I do! I have a cat and her name is Margot. How did I come to bestow this glorious name upon my feline friend? Um, I was trying and failing miserably at thinking of a good name for her and then I suddenly remembered a band which I enjoy listening to--Margot & the Nuclear So and So's, and I was like, yeah, that's a cat name. So, I named her that.

3. Ooof, man, the stories I could tell. I have been doing this for only about 6 years now, but I have many, many things which I could ramble on about here. However, the STRANGEST thing I had happen to me? (I teach English, btw.) I had a student write an essay--like a formal essay which was for a grade--as a fanfic of Twilight. Now, I have ABSOLUTELY no problem with students creating their own fanfiiction (and I actually encourage it), but um...I was inserted as "Winter" Cullen....I will leave things like that. (It was also reported.) That was...uh...yeah...kind of weird. Definitely very strange.

"So... uhm... It's not what it looks like." An elf, practically about five foot tall with orange hair, is standing there with a squirrel-like creature in her hands. Earlier, it looked like she was in a HEAVY debate with the little rodent, but since now Aria got noticed, she smiled sheepishly and placed the animal down on the ground. "I was just, uh... I didn't agree with his politics." What is she TALKING about?? (For Herja, from Aria)

            unprompted asks. » always accepting!

    "Er... so in other words, I was merely envisioning you arguing with a chipmunk?" Herja soon questions, allowing utter bewilderment to seep through her tone. Honestly, considering her captain had managed to learn how to talk to animals after fighting off a bear of all things, it wasn't as if she would have a hard time believing this girl might have also been proficient at communicating with other critters. The moment she tries to explain herself further, however, Herja couldn't help but sweat-drop, for her words only left more questions than answers.

    "M-My apologies, milady, but I truly have no idea what you're talking about," she then admits, because she wasn't aware chipmunks could even get into politics the same way everyone else could, let alone have intricate conversations about them with what appeared to be a female goblin. "Nevertheless, I'm glad your squabble remains of little importance?"

hey. cult in hoenn is being taken care of. tell your goons they can go back to reciting the same four facts every time i speak to them. no help as usual. especially none from dr. alston.

Juno, I know this is you.

Maybe you're suffering a bit of heat stroke in that volcano, or maybe being chronically online this past week has caused whatever's left of your sanity to finally shrivel into a raisin, so let me gently remind you: I am in fucking Unova. Nowhere even near Hoenn.

If you want to direct your complaints to any of the admins, direct them to Thrash and Violite. The fact that you of all people were able to track Marny down before them is a major failure on their end. Otherwise, you're standing in an active volcano. Maybe you should try throwing yourself in the caldera. Who knows? Maybe you're like Professor Amaryllis and can survive temperatures that would kill the average person.
