#i knew this would have happened anyways

[fireelementalessence]

So we know that Everlark would have happened anyways, regardless the universe or circumstances but not many people talk about how different Katniss’ personality and behavior would be in a universe where Mr. Everdeen survived. This is a girl who used to play house and proudly raised her hand to sing The Valley Song on the first day of school (I could never) people!

She lost her father during the age range that most girls start puberty (8 - 13 years old) and was thrusted into being a mother figure for Prim and head of household thus not allowing her to explore normal things that kids that age do such as developing romantic thoughts and feelings.

In a universe where Mr. Everdeen lived I see her still being a bit of an introvert and reserved but I doubt she would walk with a scowl on her face all the time and try to project an image of intimidation and indifference in order to protect her own feelings. Seeing the love her parents share at that age would most likely lead to be more comfortable accepting her compassionate side and as well as have a positive effect on her early interactions with Peeta (how they finally talk to each other is up your imagination lol).

I also see Madge being her best friend in this universe instead or Gale but I have a question for you guys. Given that her and Gale’s relationship was forged out of them both becoming head of household at young ages and being transactional where taught each other in exchange for something to provide families, do you think they would become friends?

Thinking many many thoughts about how Jean was Riko's partner for a YEAR and was still rooming with Goon #3. Because that was how unwilling Riko was to let go of Kevin. And how that implies that Jean was placed as his partner both because of the practicality of Kevin being gone AND as a punishment for letting him go in the first place. Being partners with Jean could actually slow Riko down depending on how often he's hurt (because I don't think Riko was all that exempt from the rules to the point where his partner's performance would completely not matter) and he was still placed there. Riko was just THAT angry at him over Kevin's escape. And all the while he was keeping Kevin's side of room like an altar, even back when he didn't even think Kevin could PLAY, because of an injury he caused.

#'average aftg fan thinks about Kevins side of the room once a day.' factoid. headboard georg (me) is thinking on it at all times #everything about the perfect court makes me so absolutely insane i am chewing on glass #do you guys think that Jean would still have distracted Riko if he knew Kevin was going to leave? #moreover. do you guys REALLY think Jean didn't at least suspect he was leaving #because tsc is probably going to prove me wrong but I think he would and he knew #anyway. i said it before and i will say it again #the kevriko toxic teen girl homoerotic friendship rizz is unparalleled #riko moriyama the man that you are. they could never make me think you're uninteresting I want to use your brain as a saltshaker #I don't think Riko (or Tetsuji for that matter since he prompted it) ever actually realised what Kevin's injury MEANT. like for real #it wasn't putting him in his place it was destroying the very idea of the perfect court. it was DONE #if Kevin hadn't recovered. if the plot of AFTG hadn't happened. how long would it have taken for Riko to realize #that HE killed the very thing he built his life around and was just dragging it behind him like a corpse (Jean) #kevin day #riko moriyama #jean moreau #the sunshine court #all for the game #the perfect court

god i hate nintendo so fucking much i'll never buy another thing from them, good day. we will have to resort to emulation and fan servers from then on out completely

#i knew it would happen fellas #btw there's online servers for splatoon 1 and everyone's gonna have to resort to using them for that #there's no reason for this the systems have built in internet functionality anyway #i mean i've been using mostly emulation for stuff like this but this really really really is an asshole move and y'all know it #shosh

[thedawningofthehour]

Splints right after escaping from Draxum's lab:

"Oof, I think we're safe now boys. Big Mama said the city was under New York, so I guess we're in New York. I've been here a few times. It's been...years, but we'll figure it out together alright?"

'squints towards Lower Manhattan'

"Looks like they finally tore down those ugly towers."

#splinter was canonically in the nexus when 9/11 happened #so i headcanon that he just...didn't know about it #i mean the yokai definitely knew they can be clueless about a lot of human events but the hidden city is literally under manhattan island #but why would big mama ever tell splinter? why would he care? #i mean he has no personal ties to it but it's the fact that a Major Event Happened and he had no idea that freaks him out #anyway i just imagine him aggressively questioning some bodega employee when he catches sight of a magazine cover literally years later #while also trying to keep his hood over his face and his tail from moving too much #“how long have you lived in nyc sir?” #“1996!” #“...how...”

A DEVIL REBORN

Happy Halloween!!! A detailed ID will be placed under the cut (it's close to being 1K i could literally post this to Ao3)

p1. ड्याम्म (dyamma) - Nepali for "(feeling) full", "hitting something"

p3. Chutiya - Hindi for "idiot", "moron" and other related insults

p5. க்ரீச் (kreech) - Tamil onomatopoeia describing scraping/screeching sounds

[Extended Image ID: DYAMMA! Slamming his hands on a table, Achanba Okram finds himself in the darkness of his laboratory. He is wearing black clothes and a white lab coat on top, and has a bowl cut with rectangular glasses.

His thoughts whirl within boxes that are coloured gold and are outlined with red; they put a voice to the uneasy feelings Okram knows are stirring inside of him. The thought boxes read:

With Pavitr gone, I finally have time to string my thoughts together. Half-drowned answers bleed out of my pores. Coalescing like some great, abysmal creature of unknown origin.

Bracing his hands against the table, Okram is acutely aware of his body, of the gaping holes in his back that bubble with demonic energy. His thoughts narrate, My body quakes when I begin to question, wracked with paranoia. With dread, as if the idea of what I had to face was unbearable.

The holes in back — four of them, spaced evenly from each other — begin to ooze golden liquid, hot like fire and viscous like tar.

And yet, Okram thinks, I felt it all the same: that crawling, scintillating horror of my reality. Of my tainted flesh and blood. My being here is the work of demonic forces.

Golden arms, fluid yet bony, powered by some otherworldly thing, unravel from the void in his back. They flounder and expand around him, filling the lab with a cold glow. The fingers are tipped with talons, and, if he looked hard enough, Okram swears they are edged with blood.

I died years ago, Okram thinks. I lost my humanity to the fire of the devil's madness. Thus, the question remains: what is the future of Achanba Okram, a DEVIL REBORN?

The lights of the lab suddenly brighten, and Okram hears him before he sees him. His arms register the presence of the other person, immediately unraveling and slipping out of reality. Just outside, Pavitr Prabhakar's voice calls, "HEY, DOCTOR OKRAM! Sorry I'm late! Traffic was abysmal today."

Pavitr's entrance catches Okram by surprise, and he stutters out, "PAVITR?! You- ah- you have one of your shifts today?"

His thoughts reprimand him, You CHUTIYA! Pavitr always has his shifts on Tuesdays!

Pavitr is unaware of Okram's turmoil, sauntering into the laboratory while hefting up a white plastic bag. He's wearing a black and white flannel shirt, and he has circular earrings. Pavitr's eyes are trained on the bag in his hand. He answers Okram's question with, "Yeah, I do. I, uh, got a little hungry along the way (I'm always so hungry)." Pavitr whispers the last part as he lifts the bag up. He continues, "so I went and bought some vada pav, and—"

He suddenly pauses, his eyes locking onto Okram. He can't tell what is going beyond Pavitr's eyes, but the other man's analysing gaze unnerves Okram to a degree beyond description.

(In Pavitr's POV: his Spider-Sense was just triggered. Red and gold squiggly lines emanate from and surround his head in a halo.)

Pavitr lowers the bag slightly in concern. "Uhm," Pavitr says "are you okay, Doctor?"

Dread and fear floods Okram's system. Suddenly he is hyperaware of everything in the room, including the golden arm that has sprouted from his back and was lying on the workbench behind him, right in Pavitr's line of sight.

Play dumb! Okram's mind screams at him. Accordingly, Okram replies, a tad too tightly, "Of course I am, Pavitr! Why wouldn't I be?"

KREECH. The golden arm scrapes its taloned fingers across the table, no doubt giving away its location.

Okram chuckles nervously, sweating almost immediately, at which his mind howls, Not that dumb!

Pavitr narrows his eyes at Okram and at the golden arm on the workbench. "Are those...demonic arms?" he asks Okram, a shadow crossing his face.

(In Pavitr's POV: In the back of his mind, Pavitr sees a vague and faded image forming in response to seeing the arms. He remembers Doctor Octopus, the man with two extra sets of arms who had attacked him many years ago; he was one of the first villains Pavitr fought as Spider-Man. But... Doctor Octopus died a long time ago. Perhaps...?)

"Oh, Doctor..."

Pavitr's gaze softens as he asks, "Are you being haunted by demons? Have you been attacked by them? Why didn't you tell me? I'm so sorry this has been happening to you. I can't imagine how stressful this is for you." A moment, and then, "Do you want to talk about?"

Okram hides his face in his hands, quickly responding, "No, I'm alright, Pavitr."

Pavitr walks forward, placing his bag down and reaching down to place a reassuring hand on Okram's shoulder. "But, Doctor, men of your generation have ignored their mental health for too long."

"Yes, I know," Okram sighs.

"It'll be okay, Doctor," Pavitr promises, "we can figure something out!"

"And what?" Okram asks somewhat sarcastically. "You will be here with me 'every step of the way'?"

"One hundred percent!" Pavitr says.

Behind them, one of Okram's demonic arms reaches out to peer at Pavitr and Okram; if an arm could be happy, it certainly was. The arm is seemingly pleased with Pavitr's helpful and understanding nature. /.End ID]

just finished undertale. ok i see the vision. i now understand yall's Sans-to-Benrey obsession pipeline. and the Papyrus-to-Tommy Coolatta pipeline

TOMMY. HE REMINDS ME. OF TOMMY. #i played pacifist but i saw how if u kill every1 n spare Papyrus Sans tells him every1 else is on a vacation bc truth would be too hard #file under: lies Gordon would tell Tommy if anything happened to Sunkist or his dad Gman #we wanna protect Tommy but on the other hand. the horrors r everywhere & Tommy go ham with a gun (he's terrified & acting on pure instinct) #(even tho Tommy has definitely faced his share of horrors in contrast to how Papyrus's loved ones try to shelter him from bloodshed) #i wanna write a paper psychoanalyzing Sans and Benrey in comparison to each other SOOOOO badly #it's been a hot minute since i last watched hlvrai (have seen it at least 4 times but not recently. did watch bbvrai live tho!) #im so extremely tired rn so i can't form proper thoughts :( but like: #they both have unfathomable otherworldly power and knowledge of their respective universes #but u wouldn't know it bc they're presented as just some chill guy who likes to make jokes and Vibe man #sike! they're a being of elderitch levels of power #they both act in accordance to game code but Sans can control parts of it (can see the timeline) while Benrey is much more subject to it #in some ways they are the antithesis of each other's motives but also contain the same vibes (all-powerful guy laidback n funny final boss) #Sans is judgment but doesn't interfere with the timeline. Benrey takes action that's “i knew this was gonna happen” #Benrey is fought as the final villain whereas Sans is arguably the final hero fight #anyways THEIR VIBES ARE BOTH SO !!!!!!!!!!!!! #idk if they'd be besties or mortal enemies #they can bond over being “unserious” (but they both take their true jobs very seriously. security guard and judgment bringer respectively)

It is insane to me that Mary Hatford abducted her child to keep him from being killed or sold and then went on to never show him an ounce of affection and was just another hand that hurt him. wtf??

#aftg #mary hatford #neil josten #nathaniel wesninski #all for the game #at that point why not just go stay with your family anyway? #why would you want to spend the rest of your life on the run #stressing out over you and your child getting caught #when you could have like a stable life protected with your family? #maybe- I don't know-- maybe that wasn't a thing that could happen and that's why they had to run still but #it sounded as if they *chose* to spend life on the run versus just staying with her family and at that point it makes no sense to me #it's like she kept him safe but she wasn't a safe place for him idk #I just wish I knew what was going through her mind when she made all these decisions what inspired her to abduct him #what kept her running what was within her that made her want to keep him safe #like what is her form of maternal love and affection? because it's not *actual* love and affection...

that post that's like "learning social skills helps with social anxiety" applies to dating also btw

#i guess they have a circular relationship because also going on lots of first dates was really trial by fire for me in learning lots lf #new social skills #meeting new people was never my strong suit and i was very afraid of it and would avoid it but like! #when i first tried going on first dates i learned a lot about how to meet people and met types of queer people i'd never met before #and actually it was good for me even though it was often weird and stressful #and it was a lower-stakes way to practice social skills that i otherwise would've just avoided using until they atrophied #anyway whenever i see a dating profile that's like 'i'm afraid of talking to women lol' i'm like ok relatable but what's your plan to learn #i think also just like it doesn't have to be through dating but it is good for you to meet other gay and trans people offline if possible #when i moved to wisconsin i only knew my coworkers who were mostly also twentysomethings who'd been hired straight from college #and it was good for me to meet and make friends with other local gay and trans people who were involved in different stuff #idk i just don't know how many more 'i'm obsessed with romance but scoff at the idea that i should do anything about that' posts i can read #like if i said i wanted to run a marathon but i never practiced running people would fairly be like okay that's prob not gonna happen #idk i know it's no skin off my nose i'm just like. if you never take any steps towards expressing your desires #how do you think they're going to just happen to you #personal nonsense

i see merlin trending, i wanna post something.

no but seriously how did that happen. not that i'm complaining

#merlin #bbc merlin #merlin bbc #anyway did you ever ask yourself why were there druid camps in camelot even twenty years into the purge? #like why would they stay #soo i think i have a theory #remember perilous lands? #they became this dead wasteland because magic was being continuously sucked out of it #so what if the same thing could've happened to camelot #and druids knew it obv #so they continued camping on camelot's soil and performing magic rituals #to support the magic of the land #so it doesn't die completely #however there were some signs anyway #like i believe they had less harvest than before #the soil had become dryer and less fertile #and than merlin came to live in camelot #and started unknowingly feeding his magic to the earth #and some people probably freaked out over abnormal grain reports that year

saiki is such a fucking loser when it comes to romance (and also in general shh) that no matter who it is hes trying to date, he ALWAYS waits for THEM to confess. he will NEVER be the one to confess first..

i dont think he even CONSIDERS the fact that he could confess first, even though he can read their mind and knows exactly how they feel about him.. he waits and waits for a confession and when he doesnt get it, he gets really frustrated and is like 'i guess they just arent serious about me 😒🙄' BRO YOU HAVENT CONFESSED EITHER ?? YOU HAVE THE CAPABILITIES TO DO IT TOO WHY ARE YOU A HYPOCRITE ??

#my agenda that kusuo is just a bratty girlfriend #kusuo with an UNREQUITED crush is just satousai like i dont even have to say it #he never thought of confessing to satou cuz he knew it wasnt requited so he didnt really think it mattered #which is also funny and related to this because he just never wants to be the one to pursue someone lmfao #'ugh when is he going to notice me' -guy preparing for his first queer heartbreak #saiki k #tdlosk #the disastrous life of saiki k. #saiki kusuo #meows post #kubosai #<- i think kuboyasu almost always confesses anyway so kusuo doesnt need to worry about this for long #but theyre both pathetic hopeless losers so theres a chance kusuo could get frustrated listening to him pine after him #thats a rare case that could happen with anyone tbh where kusuo MIGHT confess. or avoid them like the passive aggressive tsundere he is. #terusai #<- this one he also gets very very frustrated!! because koko is kinda the same way he is.. #she also expects to be confessed to and he hears her think that and is sooo annoyed because absolutely NOT #haisai #<- i think if hairo realized he had a crush he would immediately confess BUT he and kusuo are aroace kings lmfao #so i think that both of them r kinda oblivious and hairo simply wouldnt realize it was a crush #stg one of their friends would have to step in and be like 'u guys r practically dating can u just kiss or something damn..' #merasai #<- ALSO BOTH AROACE AND WOULD BASICALLY BE DATING WAY BEFORE MERA EVEN KNEW SHE LIKED HIM #saikai #<- kusuo is on a MISSION with this one omg. he does everything in his power to make his feelings known without being TOO obvious #so that KAIDO will confess.. but kaido just gets awkward about it for a while.. kusuo does not realize what hes doing is called flirting.. #saikechi #<- idk i feel like this would be complicated.. akechi wouldnt want to confess cuz he would b like well i know he knows.. #and he would probably mention casually wheile hes talking and not expect kusuo to respond #so like.. he just wouldnt think kusuo likes him because kusuo never acknowledges it but its only cuz akechi hasnt really CONFESSED

was clearing out my phone's gallery and once again realized how much art i never posted here, so here's a stijn strongbody!

[ID: a digital line drawing of Stijn Strongbody, a middle aged Japanese man with four sheep's horns, and, barely visible before the canvas cuts off, four arms. he holds a pencil in one hand as he looks off to one side with a good-natured, contemplative expression.]

#q #blaseball #tokyo lift #never was a stijn fan per se but i always thought he was kinda fascinating. he definitely had Plans for the lift #the extent of which only started to be uncovered by his successors after his death. #it left yusef wondering how much he had actually predicted and planned for. how much the lift was continuing along a track he had set. #what were his plans? the only person who knew (original elwin) got alted and stijn never trusted the plans to another person afterwards #it's likely whatever plans he set failed anyways without having anyone to keep course after he died. but there's always that doubt. #did stijn know this would happen. did he predict the things that would happen. did he predict gerund's death #idk idk his death was just so neat because it left all these questions that could never be answered. #also he was Science Gay with a interdimensional fungus inhabiting a large dead bug until it used their joint research #to hop dimensions again without saying goodbye and pulled some unwilling alternate version of itself to take its place #so there's also that lol #my blaseball art #buzzart #anyways yeah might be posting some more old art

fr tho i think SLTs is actually such a good concept because im just thinking like yes we had the biology sex education of hormones are a thing and if you dont use a condom this is what your penis will look like but if anyone ANYONE had been open with me about what sexualities are and how they feel then maybe someone wouldve said 'hey this is something that you actually feel its not a thinking thing and yes, some people actually DO start this early. if you dont relate maybe look into the words asexual and aromantic' then i would have maybe felt less like a freak and not forced myself through both guys and girls trying to find something that actually felt right because right now nobody talks about it especially not when it comes to teenagers which is fair enough but also it really really would have been beneficial to me and im sure other people if it was discussed in a respectful controlled manner

#sorry if anyone doesnt know what SLTs is its a reference to heartbreak high #like i come from a very progressive open left family and surroundings #my school had p much a 0 tolerance policy for all things discrimination #yes we had a gsa but you dont sign up for that unless you already know something is up #so like i knew about the gay straight bisexual everything #and i even knew the word asexual #but since nobody ever actually explained anything about anything i just figured oh whatever itll happen im only 15 anyway #and ESPECIALLY on being aro i didnt know that was a thing and even if i did i never would have identified myself if it wasnt for tumblr #heartbreak high #idk if i should tag that #asexual #aromantic #aroace
