TylerCo Trust Fund Baby
Jesse Chambers. Rick Tyler.
Interviews. Catching Up. Sketchbooks.
2848 words.
(ao3.)
Jessica Belle Chambers had her own way of dealing with the unexpected. 
If her morning class got canceled, only reorganizing her day in her planner could quell the anxious knot in her stomach. When her Professor sent an email regarding her thesis, only a look at her meticulously crafted notes about the Mystery-Men of the 1940s could help her come up with a satisfying answer. 
And when Rex Tyler — CEO of TylerCo and the current Hourman despite his advancing age — agreed to an interview with a young, exceedingly organized grad student, Jesse responded to the opportunity the only way she could — i.e by vigorously planning out her entire day to accommodate the event. 
At six-thirty Jesse was up. At seven she was on her morning run with a podcast playing into her ears. At seven-thirty she was answering emails while eating the finest provisions a starving grad student could afford — cup noodles with a dash of sriracha. At eight-fifteen she was at class and discussing the impact that American Mystery-Men had on the post-WWII economy, nursing a coffee as she spoke. Then finally at eleven she rushed back to her dorm to make herself look presentable, then said her father’s Speed Force mantra to zip over to New York. 
Having been born and raised in Queens — until her parents’ split — Jesse always saw the Big Apple as her second home. Her childhood of day trips to Coney Island and baseball games at Citi Field rushed back to her the second she stepped into the city lines. The sound of cabbies honking their horns and New Yorkers yelling filled her ears, instilling a peculiar sense of nostalgia she had not felt since she was a young, gawky child with round spectacles and lanky limbs. 
Lower Manhattan was a nice change from Gotham. The latter was infamously known for the “Gothamite Stench,”  a pungent odor that clung to the inhabitants whether they liked it or not. Some people claimed it was reminiscent of a dumpster after a rainstorm, while others described it as moldy and dank. 
All Jesse knew was that it only took her six months at GSU to get used to the smell and that trudging through the Financial District at the peak of rush hour was practically a breath of fresh air.
The TylerCo building stood tall with a million glassy windows. Workers young and old filtered in and out of the place with the haste reminiscent of a typical college student. As Jesse walked up to the building, she checked her planner and her trusty wristwatch, then swiftly found comfort in the fact that she had a few minutes to spare. 
After checking in at the front desk, Jesse pinned her visitor’s pass to her blazer lapel as she entered a crowded elevator. On the thirtieth floor she stepped into a typical white-collared workplace, in which workers in cubicles either typed on their computers or made small talk amongst the water cooler. 
As Jesse made her way to the executive office in the back she wondered if the aura of a Stressed Grad Student could be picked up on by the TylerCo employees. Or worse, if her thorough shower at her dorm wasn’t enough to get the Gothamite Stench off of her. 
To quash the anxious feeling building inside her, she triple checked to see if she had her notes with all her questions for the Man of the Hour. When she found that everything was where she left it, she closed her planner and tucked it under her arm for safekeeping. 
Outside of Rex Tyler’s office was an ornate door, a little waiting area, and a Secretary’s desk. Jesse wasted no time in walking up to the lady typing at her computer. 
“Hi, I have an appointment with Mr. Tyler.” 
The Secretary didn’t look up from her screen. “Which one?” 
Jesse paused as her brain tried to process a question she was not prepared to hear. “Excuse me?” 
“Well, do my eyes deceive me?” asked a playful voice. 
Jesse turned around to see someone sitting on a chair by the office door. Lounging with ease was a young man just about her age, someone clad in a charcoal suit and a yellow necktie. In his hands were a pencil and a moleskine notebook, something he appeared to be writing in quite vigorously. 
The sight of his chestnut locks, deep brown eyes, and his uncanny resemblance to the company’s founder immediately told Jesse who it was. 
With a grin, Rick Tyler shut the notebook in his hands and got to his feet, looking Jesse up and down. “Jessica,” he greeted somewhat playfully. 
Jesse remained stone-faced as she gave him a polite nod. “Richard.”
At the desk, Rex’s Secretary typed madly on her keyboard before speaking up once more.
“Erm, Mr. Tyler…” she said then paused. “...the older one… will just be a few minutes. Please sit down.”
Jesse nodded as Rick’s grin got just a bit wider. 
“Thank you.”
On reflex Jesse checked her planner again as she made her way to one of the chairs. She sat next to a very amused Rick, trying her best to ignore the way he was looking at her. He stared at her like someone had told a joke and she wasn’t getting the punchline. 
“Don’t get your hopes up,” said Rick, speaking in a tone tinged with just the slightest bit of contempt. “She said the same thing to me thirty minutes ago.” 
Jesse rolled her eyes and checked her phone. As to be expected there were a handful of emails from her professor, as well as a few texts from her co-workers asking to cover a shift. As Jesse contemplated whether the extra cash would be worth the loss of study time, Rick took a seat next to her.
“So… how’ve you been, Jess?” asked the dashing young heir to the TylerCo fortune. “Haven’t seen you in forever.” 
“I would say the same to you,” Jesse said, glancing over to take in Rick’s appearance. 
Rick’s resemblance to his father was as clear as day, whether it be due to his sharp jawline or his thick eyebrows. Yet if one looked close enough they could see that Rick had a sense of prettiness to him, particularly in his long lashes or the way his eyes crinkled when he smiled. Anyone familiar with Wendi Harris-Tyler’s filmography could undoubtedly see the traces of her beauty in her son. 
“Last I heard you were doing your thesis,” Rick recalled. 
Jesse nodded. “And last I heard you were-” 
“In rehab?” 
Jesse felt her stomach drop, clearly dealing with the second unprepared event of the day. Her professional front began to falter as she took a few seconds to regain herself.
“... I was gonna say the Hamptons,” she eventually replied. “Heard you needed some time away.” 
Rick let out a chuckle, throwing his head back and letting out a sigh. “Yeah, no shit. It’s not the worst place for Rex Tyler’s junkie son to hang out.”
“You shouldn’t say that about yourself,” Jesse was quick to say. She eyed Rick in a way that indicated a level of concern. 
Rick averted her gaze and looked down to the carpeted floor. He smirked a bit, then let out a chuckle. “I shouldn’t say a lot of things about myself.” 
As Rick seemingly laughed at himself, Jesse took him in for a few moments more. The last time she had seen him was five years ago, wherein Johnny Chambers had invited the Tylers to dinner. Unsurprisingly, they all ate with an empty chair at the table.
As to be expected, Rex Tyler was busy with something — whether it be hero stuff or CEO work. For that one night, his habit had led to a very strange dinner where the man’s absence felt like an elephant in the room. It was very telling that on this particular occasion, Johnny’s quips about his and Libby’s divorce would only make things even more uncomfortable.
Aside from that, Jesse could recall Rick bringing up a desire to go to art school and his mother supporting him one-hundred percent. Even back then he claimed that drawing was the only thing he was good at. 
When Jesse’s father had proudly toted his daughter’s acceptance into Cornell, she could remember a burning blush creeping to her cheeks and the desire to tuck her head into her shirt like a turtle. Somehow her embarrassment had made Rick smile for the only time that night, something that stuck with her even to this day. 
Unsurprisingly, Jesse had lost contact with Rick not too long after. Suddenly she became more concerned with her undergrad than keeping contact with the children of her father’s hero friends. All she ever heard of him was through the grapevine, usually during visits to her parents. 
Discovering that her childhood friend had gone through some serious substance abuse issues was already quite upsetting, hearing it over tea with her mother didn’t help as well. Perhaps what made it worse was the fact that Jesse didn’t know how to call and check on him, as his number in her phone was no longer in use.
Wanting to keep the conversation light, Jesse asked, “Did you ever end up going to art school?” 
“Did a few semesters at Yale,” Rick shrugged. “But that whole rehab thing got in the way.” He turned to her and looked her up and down once more, placing his hand on his chin as he knitted his eyebrows. 
“Hm, Dad was right.” 
Jesse glanced back at him, confused. “About what?”
“You do look a lot like your Mom,” answered Rick, his voice sounding just a bit silky. “Especially back in the day.”
Before Jesse could get distracted by the burning sensation in her cheeks, Rex’s Secretary spoke up. 
“I’m so sorry, but Mr. Tyler can’t make this appointment,” she said. “He’ll have to cancel.” 
Jesse tried to ignore the anxious knot in her chest and stood up. “When can he reschedule?” 
“Perhaps next week?” the Secretary offered. “Just send an email and we can set something up.” 
Jesse nodded and Rick sighed. As the Secretary went back to furiously typing, Rick stood up from his chair and stretched his arms. 
“Well, my morning’s a bust,” Jesse mumbled, disappointed. As to be expected she opened up planner and began mentally calculating what to do with her time now.
“Dad will be Dad,” Rick replied, pacing around with his hands in his pockets. “You’ll get used to it.” 
He looked over to see her reorganizing cue-cards in the pages of her planner.
“Got time to take an early lunch?” he asked casually. “My treat.”
Immediately, Jesse looked back to her planner and flipped through the pages. It didn’t take her long to weigh the pros and cons of the opportunity. After deeming the prospect of free food as a more valuable outcome than running back to Gotham to study or cover a cafe shift, she closed her book and gave him a nod. 
“Yeah, why not?”  
Sitting on a bench somewhere on FDR Drive, the pair youngsters enjoyed a view of the Brooklyn Bridge and their bodega sandwiches. Around them Lower Manhattan hummed like a machine that refused to turn off. 
Rick had shrugged off his suit jacket and loosened his tie, Jesse had let her hair down and removed her contacts in favor of her usual spectacles. With the finer details of corporate life taken away, the two looked a lot more relaxed. It was incredible what getting out of a stuffy office could do for a person.
As the hustle of the big city resonated behind them, both Jesse and Rick spoke about whatever came to mind. 
For once Jesse could speak about school in a way that didn’t relate to her thesis. She spoke of her dorm room and how it was always colder than she wanted it to be, or her cafe job and how she was saving up to move off campus. Even though being the child of Johnny Quick and Liberty Belle had afforded her more privileges than she knew to do with, she felt uneasy asking her parents for more money, even if it was to live comfortably. 
In turn Rick spoke of his recent travels. The Hamptons in the off-season certainly had its perks, as what was once a vibrant summer getaway town was now a quiet, seaside hamlet. He spent most of his time in his mother’s beach house, simply retreating from everything and spending his time with his art. He had begun painting more often, something he was unfamiliar with but now had time to explore. Drawing would remain as his first love, however.
Rick finished his sandwich and asked, “Even thought about transferring around here? I hear Columbia dorms are cozy.” 
“Tempting, but I’ve got enough on my plate already,” Jesse replied, keeping her eyes on the waters of the East River. “I can’t imagine handling a transfer on top of it all.”
In the distance Jesse could see a ferry bringing tourists from the city to Liberty Island, an activity that she had done a handful of times in her childhood. As memories of her mother holding her up to the ship’s railing swirled in her head, she took a quick sip of her cherry cola. 
“Maybe I’ll burn my old notes for warmth this winter,” she suggested, half joking and half serious.
Rick let out a chuckle, crumpling up his sandwich wrapper and tossing it into a nearby trash can. He reached into his pants pocket and pulled out the same small moleskine that he had been writing in before. If anything, it seemed to be a coping mechanism akin to Jesse’s planner. 
Jesse eyed the book, noting that whatever he was jotting down was just out of her sight.  
“What are you always doing in there?” she asked, curious. 
Rick gave her a friendly smile before lifting up the book. On the current page was a small drawing of an hourglass, in which everything from the sheen of the glass to the sand trickling down were drawn in meticulous detail. To say that Rick Tyler learned nothing from his few semesters of art school would be an absolute lie. 
“Ironic, isn’t it?” Rick said in a somewhat sardonic tone.  
Jesse shook her head. “I wouldn’t say so.”
Rick handed the sketchbook over so she could examine it more clearly. As she flipped through the pages she was graced with drawings of nearly anything imaginable, ranging from an old ‘66 Mustang to the New York skyline. Some were more stylized and impressionistic, while others were photorealistic. Sometimes he used watercolors, but more often than that a pencil was all he needed to do wonders.
“You’re good at this,” Jesse admitted, giving him a softer look than before. 
Like before Rick was smiling. “You flatter me, Miss Chambers.” 
As Jesse flipped through the pages and admired the drawing of a lilypad, Rick looked out to the sight of Brooklyn across the water. 
“And here Dad was thinking I could be a Doctor,” he spoke dryly, then scoffed. “Jokes on him, I flunked out of O-Chem in high school.”
“Not everyone’s cut out for it,” Jesse assured. “I’m sure he’ll come around one day.”
Rick’s face seemed to light up, but only slightly. He sat with his legs crossed and his back slightly hunched, his chiseled chin resting in his hand. He smiled but only marginally so, one that didn’t seem to be laced with the mild disdain or obligation like before.
“You’re lucky, Jess,” he soon said, looking her in the eye. “Your Dad’s actually proud of what you do.” 
Jesse wasn’t sure what to say. She looked down to Rick’s sketchbook again. She took in a watercolor recreation of a lighthouse in Montauk, one characterized by the dreamy mix of greens and blues and yellows, then snapped the whole thing shut. 
As she handed it back to him she felt her phone vibrating in her pocket. Once she grabbed the device she couldn’t help but feel relieved that some kind of distraction managed to pop up. 
“Speaking of which…” Jesse said as she read the text off her phone. “Dad just asked how the interview went. Could I send a pic of you and I?” 
Rick slipped his sketchbook into his pocket and raised an eyebrow. “Why?” 
“Because I’m sure he’d rather see me hanging out with a walking Brooks Brothers catalog than wasting my time,” Jesse replied in a matter-of-fact voice, as if there was nothing remotely unusual with her words in any capacity. 
Rick gave her an amused smirk. “Well, personally I prefer ‘TylerCo Trust Fund Baby’ but okay.”
“That’s funny,” Jesse said in a blunt and dry tone, one laced with the slightest implication that Rick’s quip was anything but. 
As Rick let out a subdued chuckle, Jesse opened the camera app on her phone and raised the device up, making sure to bring her old friend and herself into frame.
“Smile!”

some random idea i got in my head idk if youve done this or not but
yan!oc (any of them) x yan!reader who already has a darling
maybe yan would kill readers darling? but how would yan!reader react to that?
just wanted to share
YAN OCS x YAN! READER HEADCANNONS (isayasifimnotthecreatorofthesecharacters)
Note that I won’t include much reactions moreso ways reader can respond or work around the OCs. Otherwise it’s up to your imagination how you would feel/react to these scenarios.
Been a while since I wrote for my children. I really miss Eve and Amir ngl oTL
Since it’s been such a long time I’ll semi-write this as if I’m talking about them for the first time.
Midnight Darling (College Based OCs)
I feel like many of my yan! ocs especially the college based ones (midnight darling tag if you’re interested in them) just wouldn’t care. They’re already in a harem you’ve created and don’t expect you to be monogamous. They’re more yandere in the sense that they love to invade your privacy/think they know what’s best for you/have no concept of boundaries whatsoever. Like loyal rabid fans.
Specifically speaking for Midnight Darling, you’d have to show extreme favoritism and be super obvious about your feelings for your darling to be suspected and to be targeted.
I think Reader of that universe would be smart enough to use the Yandere Harem to their advantage instead of exposing themself.
Your darling might take advantage of that though. Tell you that you don’t really love them if you keep sleeping around so often.
But in reality you do that just to appease those animals for the sake of your darling’s safety.
Oh and the faculty just shit on your darling’s grades. Your darling prolly gets bullied on the daily too.
In the case of Guest is God (Host Club Based OCs)
Another contender for,
Monogamy is a social construct we don’t give a fuck
Especially since many of these people are a bit more mature and smart than the college ocs.
In this scenario though, they’ll be the ones using your feelings as an advantage.
You want to be alone with your darling? You have to make sure your guest is completely satisfied by the end of the night. You want to take a break so your darling can give you some comfort head? You have to hit the quota for this month then, you slacker!
One thing they’ll have over your head though is that your darling can very much be forced into Host work like you were. So you have to work really hard in order to prevent that. Right?
Next up we have Love Multiplied: Invasion of Your Heart! (Idol Industry Based OCs
Eve (Yan! Idol) would be just-
He would honestly fucken steal your darling.
Of course he would play around them and treat them like shit. But that would be your fault after all!
He only wanted to be yours, but you went ahead and cheated on him with this nobody!! And that nobody doesn’t even love you like he does.
He’s a charming piece of shit when he wants to be. He’s an idol after all. It didn’t take too long.
You have two options here:
You can appease him. Say that he’s your main hoe and that your darling is just a past-time. Jisoo(his real name, Eve is his stagename) would never fucken believe that ofc that perceptive mf but it’ll sooth him enough to have him let go of your darling for a while.
Orrrrr you could just fight him. Yandere on Yandere. Wholeass murder his ass.
You could even do both.
My other LM:IOYH ocs aren’t fully fleshed yet so I’ll just generalize the rest.
The idols would most likely do some gaslight, girlkeep, girlboss tactics to your darling and either do a Jisoo and steal the damn person or make your darling hate you.
The managers/higher ups would most likely organize something to have darling killed.
And the friends outside of the industry type characters would most likely just straight up resort to murder. Direct and to the point. If not sour your opinion on darling.
Next are misc ocs!
Our ever popular Himbo! Yan would probably support you. As long as you manipulate him well enough. That is until he figures out that he likes you in a non platonic manner. Then shit hits the fan.
Amir (Tsun! Yan) would probably lose his feelings for you. Or at least desperately try to. He doesn’t match well with someone who likes someone else. Much less is yandere for someone else. One of if not the only yan who has the mind to let go. Out of fear or betrayal? Who knows.
Tries to avoid you but then literally everything reminds him of you so he’s just dying inside.
Smol chance but he could attempt to be your darling/replace your darling. He at least has the fashion/style know how down. He can try his darn hardest to act like them too.
Mori (Yan! Delinquent) would prolly have a voyeuristic view on it. He would imagine himself as your darling. His head would be in full delulu. Might even help you just so he could watch potentially fuck your darling and finger himself to it (he’s trans)
For @yoru-no-seiiki readers, Cassiel (Yan! Protagonist) doesn’t even see darling as competition. Like unless you’re the yandere to actively harm your darling, they wouldn’t give a crap about them. If you are however, they’d most likely keep you two apart. They can be sadistic if need be, and sees the idea of you not even knowing if your darling is alive or not as exciting. If anything it’d be good fuel for you to keep harming them.
But yeah my yans aren’t really murder hobos since I prefer writing the DISRESPECT part of yanderes rather than the violence. But yeah!! here are their ways of dealing with yan! reader.

Prompt: Who would they main in Genshin Impact? (as of 3.0)
A/N: For those of you who don’t know, I have played genshin for quite a long time. Therefore I am qualified to do this and am not taking criticism. My reasoning for these choices is up to your own interpretation. Enjoy my dears <3
Heartslabyul
Riddle Rosehearts = Yanfei
You really shocked by this one? Miss rule book?
Hates domestic disputes, if you know then you know
Ninguang was a close second but he likes burning his enemies to a crisp
Trey Clover = Yae Miko
The plight of cleaning up other people’s messes is one he knows
Her hair looks like candy floss
Wishes he could steal some of her girlboss for himself
Cater Diamond = Albedo
Hear me out
He really is a sucker for the intuitive character with an aura of beauty
Albedo’s origin story > any other
It’s people like Albedo irl that actually frighten Cater the most. Yet he appreciate’s Albedo’s uncanny ability to call people out on their bullshit with no reservations
Ace Trappola = Diluc
Diluc is the closest we have to your stereotypical “superhero,” which Ace always gravitates towards
Appreciates his tomato-red hair and is invested in the brotherly drama with Kaeya
Deuce Spade = Jean
She is responsible, she kicks ass, and is a great leader
Deuce drinks his respect women juice and thinks the actual grandmaster needs an ass whopping for leaving her alone so long
Like bro, all that bs with StormTerror and you still don’t drop by? What kind of irresponsible prick-
Savanaclaw
Leona Kingscholar = Kaeya/Klee
Says he mains Kaeya
Actually mains Klee
Finds her antics amusing and she reminds him of cheka
Ruggie Bucci = Yelan
She knows her shit. Badass. The scene in the one event where she was like “if you know my secrets, i’ll have to kill you,” gave him chills - if yk yk
Ruggie is a masochist and therefore fell for the “step on me” tactic mihoyo did with her advertising
Jack Howl = Xinyan
Likes her can-do attitude and how she doesn’t let other people her tear her down
Make fun of her english VA and he will take it personally
Octavinelle
Azul Ashengrotto = Ganyu
For those of you who know her backstory, he sympathizes
Thinks she is absolutely adorable
Tried to make himself a Zhongli main for the clout and failed
Jade Leech = Tighnari
Mushroom dance, mushroom dance
Has to be special and play the first 5 star dendro
Floyd Leech = Hu Tao
Are we really shocked with this one?
No, seriously. You saw her character quest, right?
As if Floyd would pass on that, you’re nuts
Scarabia
Kalim Al’ Asim = Yoimiya
As if Kalim would not go straight for this literal ball of sunshine?
He loves her idle animation where she twirls around with a sparkler
If he isn’t playing her in co-op then he is a healer because he just wants to help. Has a godly Bennett that Jamil built for him
Jamil Viper = Eula
VEngAnce wILL bE mInE
For real, he loves her lore
And that she dances. Teach him your ways icey momma
Pomefiore
Vil Shoenheit = Sangonomiya Kokomi
She is beauty, she is grace, and she is Vil’s
Prefers to play healer in co-op because he doesn’t have to worry about fighting. Just admires the water jellies ~
Thought he was a cut above all the rest because everyone skipped her premier banner, so he was one if the few who had her (until the re-run that is)
Rook Hunt = Tartaglia
Okay, hear me out on this one
Rook enjoys the dynamic gameplay of swapping between bow/sword and factoring in the timing for your E
Tartag’s lore? If you know then you know. Rook is on the edge of his seat with this shit
C’mon guys. That bloodthirsty thrill of the hunt? Tartag’s addiction to battle? Match made in heaven
Epel Felmeir = Arataki Itto
Another one that I don’t really need to explain?
Itto is himbo beefcake. Epel idolizes himbo beefcakes?
Doesn’t mind that Itto is a niche character because that adds to his charm. Epel is determined to declare superiority with his all-geo team and maximum damage output
Deadass someone make this dude touch some grass because he’s been artifact hunting in Slumbering Court for so long-
Ignihyde
Idia Shroud = Kaedehara Kazuha + Amber
Man only plays meta. Decimates every spiral.
Lowkey agrees that he would get an anemo vision if he was a character bc yk seems trauma is a commonality
Builds a godly Amber just to show off when domain hopping. That’s right. His Amber just did more damage than your shitly built c6 Hu Tao
Also likes Hu Tao. He knows what it’s like to be ostracized for just being yourself
Ortho Shroud = Fischl
Often plays support for his brother and she’s pretty universal
He loves her imagination. Whenever she’s idle and starts doing poses it makes him giggle
Is extremely invested in the immernachtreich lore
Wishes he had a companion like Oz or a Seelie
Don’t worry. Idia builds him one for his birthday
Diasmonia
Malleus Draconia = Zhongli
The actual Zhongli main
Because Malleus is very bad at the game and so defense build is OP
Lilia Vanrouge = Venti and Klee
A drunk god and a child who blows shit up?
Yeah
Waiting for Scaramouche
Silver = Kamisato Ayato
Lazy player. Enjoys being able to hold down his E and do auto attacks (that do tons of damage)
Likes the chivalrous type as well, but does enjoy Ayato’s macabre and mischievous moments
Ayato’s magic boba sleeve won him over
Sebeck Zigvolt = Zhongli/Barbara
Fool only pulls for the same characters as Malleus. Just copies.
Sucks at playing too. Ends up just using the free characters you get early on because that’s what he’s used to
No fun smh
Side Characters
Dire Crowley the cheapskate = Mona
Wizard lady does not have a penny to her name
Jk she does, but just blows it all on books
Likes that
Relates to her past regarding divination. No one understands how hard it is being headmaster and just how generous he is to his beloved students
Grimm the feral cat = Raiden Shogun
Think’s he is hot shit just because he can carry
Nevermind that he’s using one of the most broken supports that Yuu built on his behalf
You know, because he can’t do artifacts on his own
Unrelated but he never does his dailies . Shame him
Mista “got friends on the other side” = Xiao
Fucking fear him
Man has enough money to supply mihoyo on his own. He has c6 Xiao and r5 Jade Spear. He doesn’t even play and only flexes it
Xiao actually speaks a lot about this one’s personality. No, I will not elaborate
Puppy = Traveler
He picked the game up for 5min before deleting and is making you do extra homework for wasting his time
Mickey Mouse = Aloy
Useless to the plot and a cash grab - just like him
Yuu = Qiqi
Shit luck on 50/50 just like in their daily life
Too busy fixing everyone else’s account to play on their own
Can’t game when carrying the weight of multiple overblot trauma on their shoulders

Had a four hour car drive yesterday and thought about what monster hunter weapons each of the The Quarry characters would use so please enjoy this analysis of monster hunter weapon type mains and playstyles that literally no one asked for. I'm basing this off of World: Iceborne since it's the game I'm most familiar with.
Jacob:
This himbo would be a greatsword main. It's big, it's clumsy, but it packs one hell of a punch when it lands. Big sword means big damage numbers. He wouldn't use any of the side or rising slashes. It would be true charged slash or nothing, like god intended. He'd forget to block more often than not and get knocked back quite a bit, but he'd land enough hits to do a formidable amount of damage. Also, Kaitlyn would yell at him enough that he'd go after the tail like he's supposed to lol.
Kaitlyn:
My girl would be a light bowgun main. Heavy bowgun would be too slow for her tastes, and while it does do more damage, I could see her giving that up for more maneuverability. I could also see her doing a hardcore sticky build. It'd be five minutes into the fight and she's already got the monster stunned and on the ground. She never misses her shots and would be the one to take the time to tenderize monster parts before absolutely blasting them to shreds.
Depending on the monster, I could also see her doing a DPS spread build. She'd pile on the short-range damage mods and get up close and personal, hitting all the weak spots like the shotgun-wielding queen we know she is.
Any team she'd be on would be formidable, especially if she had someone like Dylan drawing aggro for her.
Dylan:
Our boy has two mains. The first is a defensive lance build. He's up front in center, hiding behind that shield while drawing aggro and taking hits like a champ. He's not a DPS, he's a full on tank, with max defense, fortitude, shield, and knockback jewels. And he'd be making jokes about stabbing the monster with his pointy stick the entire time, if you know what I mean.
His second main would be hunting horn. As much as the boy loves music, how could he not? Smacking monsters around while composing sick beats and buffing your teammates all at once is the perfect combo. He'd be a support-class king. I could see him running wide-range with speed-eating as well to serve as a healer.
Ryan:
Ryan's a bit harder to pin down since he can be equal parts aggressive/defensive depending on the choices you make in the game, so he'd probably choose a weapon that had a shield. More than likely it'd either be sword and shield or gunlance. He wouldn't bother with layering on the defense though, only elemental resistances. He'd boost his attack to get right in the thick of it, but would have a shield to fall back on if things got hairy.
His playstyle would be dependent on who his teammates were. If he's with Dylan, he's probably running sword and shield, because otherwise Dylan would be making jokes about him "blowing his load" in the monster with a gunlance.
If he's running sword and shield, I could see him running wide-range, especially if he's with both Kaitlyn and Dylan and Dylan was running lance.
Laura:
Girlboss is in it to win it. She's DPS through and through. Shields are for people who don't know how to dodge. If the monster is hitting you hard you hit it back harder.
When she's with other people she's maining switchaxe and is min-maxing the hell out of her build. She's got max attack, max expert, max challenger, and is eating for attack. She's zero sum discharging her load right into the monster's weak point and is loaded up on destroyer jewels to break every part on that motherfucker. If you can kill a monster fast, Laura can kill it faster. If it takes longer to set up a trap than it does to kill the monster, she's killing it.
When Laura is solo she's running a min/max heroics hammer build, because she fears no god and she fears no monster.
Max:
Max is a dual blades user. Easy to learn, easy to use, with the added bonus of Naruto running. He'd be more of a healer support build, running wide-range and buffing Laura so she could focus on damage. He'd make sure all the parts were tenderized for her. But he'd also always try to mount the monster (and of course make jokes about it), much to Laura's chagrine.
Abi:
Insect glaive all the way. She's up and away from the fight playing The Floor Is Lava. She'd load up on defense and elemental resistances and max her stamina regen to let her keep going as long as possible. She's not here to DPS she's here to survive and she'd be good at it. Also, she thinks the kinsect is cute.
Her and Nick/Emma would make a good team since most of the time she'd be out of the way of their attacks and wouldn't get hit. Abi would always want to capture monsters because she would feel bad killing them.
Nick:
Nick's another hard one to pin down, but I could see him maining either longsword or heavy bowgun. Both because they would make him look cool lol.
For longsword he would focus on using helmbreaker as much as possible but wouldn't be great at countering. He'd also forget that his spirit attacks hit his teammates and would get in fights with Jacob since they would constantly be interrupting each others combos.
For heavy bowgun, he wouldn't have different builds, he'd probably just have one generic build for everything. He wouldn't use just one type of ammo, he'd switch between everything he could fit in his inventory. He'd prefer wyvernheart over wyvernsnipe.
Emma:
Emma would be a chargeblade main with an equal parts defense/damage build. It's a flashy weapon that still has good defensive capabilities and she would take the time to properly learn how to counterblock and the intricacies of sword and shield mode versus axe mod. I could see her also focusing on utilizing monsters' elemental and status weaknesses against them. She'd be an ideal teammate for the Alatreon fight.
I could also see Emma using bow. She'd be inflicting statuses on monsters left and right. And as a bow user, she'd be a clutch claw queen. She's tenderizing all the parts and is the first to throw the monster into walls as soon as they unenrage.
-----------------------------------------------
I want to know what other people think, if you agree with me or not. Let me know!

"Because it's funny"
8. What's the funniest crime happening in your wips?
9. Dumbest detail you invented just because it's funny?

Tumblr media
i needed to draw something and designed my hc of Celestia and Artemis' mom
Queen Nyx, former ruler of a long forgotten kingdom that no longer exist. Ability to form the night sky by raising the moon. Wife to King Solaris (will design him later), mother of Celestia and Luna Artemis. Late grandmother to future fankids lol
I've seen different kinds of parent hcs and I wanted to give my take on it. I've notice that the most popular ones have the mom being sun aligned and the dad being moon aligned which is cool, but I feel like tons of people are missing out on a chance to have a girlboss night queen and a himbo sun king!!! it's a perfect dynamic!
I wanted her to look like the ponyification of the night sky like her name suggests (i took her name from the greek goddess of the night) which cost my sanity for making little dots everywhere-
hope you all love this sketch of the night goddess!!!!

Elvis Movie Breakdown
in my current opinion, to each their own!
Great stuff (crowd pleasers): Love Me Tender (#1 LMT fan here, even if it wasn't Elvis's favorite movie to work on, its my fav to watch, its one of the few movies he's openly emotional in and fuck it, I think he's a good actor in this, eat my shorts) King Creole (Casablanca director. Melodramatic sometimes but the soundtrack slaps like all fuck and Elvis is charming as Danny, good shit, watch it) Flaming Star (Nuanced 'for it's time', good Elvis performance, SPOILER on secondary watches I stop at the point in which Pacer is radicalized in which I can imagine everything went great after that) It Happened at the World's Fair (Adorable movie alert, Elvis's character is an asshole around romantic prospects but good with kids, so close to real life. Cool as shit shots of the irl World's Fair at the time) Viva Las Vegas (I shan't stand for Viva slander, I ship the fuck out of Ann Margret and Elvis I don't give a fuck if Bye Bye Birdie was shit, just skip the last ten minutes of this flick) Change of Habit (Pretty nuanced, Elvis is a hot doctor. There's a 1969 understanding of what Autism is, keep that in mind if you want to watch)
Fan Favorites! (for the girlies): Loving You (The original music movie biopic, the fight scene in the restaurant slaps cunt severely) Jailhouse Rock (Loving You but what if the protagonist was a lovable asshole, title song dance sequence goes off) G.I. Blues (Adorable as fuck, the definition of fluff, get ready to be seduced by a puppet show) Wild in the Country (It feels like a play. You know? That vibe? Elvis is good in it) Follow That Dream (HIMBO ALERT, not bad, mildly libertarian?) Kissin' Cousins (Ok ok, listen, I know, the title, it's a lot, look Elvis plays two characters and one wears a blond wig wait where are you going wait don't call the police WAIT) Girl Happy (Cute as fuck comedy, actually made me lol, Elvis wears a dress for one scene blink and you'll miss it) Tickle Me (Cute as fuck comedy, haunted house climax) Live a Little, Love a Little (gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss. Two maniacs fall in love)
Drunk Watch (is it good? No, is it entertaining? Maybe): Blue Hawaii (Elvis spanking a suicidal teenager is the highlight of the movie, if u don't like ballads i got bad news for you) Kid Galahad (something something inn keeper type dude has debts zzzzz, fuck me Elvis is wearing a wife beater) Girls! Girls! Girls! (Man loves boat, boat is love, boat is life) Harum Scarum (Racist, offensive, intoxication is a must) Frankie and Johnny (CAMP, pure camp, Elvis gets shot and it's fabulous) Paradise, Hawaiian Style (Love hexagon, he flies a helicopter with a bunch of dogs, gets stranded on an island? It's better than Blue Hawaii, fight me) Double Trouble (A murder plot in an Elvis movie?? Three bumbling detectives take up a majority of the third act, is it funny? No.) Clambake (Elvis wears a suit that looks like a baseball. Races a boat. I forgot about this movie yet it will always haunt me) The Trouble with Girls (So close to being a good-ish. I can't remember the plot. VINCENT PRICE makes a cameo)
See it once for the sake of the marathon (Struggle to keep yourself awake during these beauties): Fun in Acapulco (The child actor made me black out. Elvis is a former circus performer or something) Roustabout (He's hot in a leather jacket, thats about it) Spinout (I always confuse this for Speedway) Easy Come, Easy Go (The worst one. It's not offensive, it's not shocking. It's three episodes of a TV show from the 60s that no one watched) Stay Away, Joe (Imo, just as offensive than Harum Scarum, surreal comedy, funny? No.) Speedway (I always confuse this for Spinout) Charro! (A good movie, compelling, and boring as fuck, Elvis is hot)

Spoilers
So, I just finished watching the first two-episode premiere of The Santa Clauses. And below the cut to avoid spoilers for peeps who haven't seen them yet, I'll be giving my general overall thoughts about it so far.
Happy watching friends!
So, in a general personal consensus, it's pretty mid lol
However, many good things there are about it, there is also an equal number of bad things as well. The talk about problematic ideology took me out of it for the most part. And we all KNOW that the CEO is gonna be the next Santa and I'm fairly certain no one is happy nor surprised.
But for all of the poor jokes and such I actually enjoyed it more than I thought! Buddy/Cal has unexpectedly taken a very high place on the list of some of my favorite characters. I am PRAYING he meets that crossing guard, I love him. And all his Himbo energy. 
And I actually find it really funny that the franchise just, keeps adding Clauses for Scott to find later lol. They just keep making new ones and I love that.
SO HAPPY that Carol is back. Can't wait to see her kick ASS later in the series. And I feel like the future story line of finding Mrs. Claus’s identity CAN be done really well if they handle it in just the right way. But she’s gonna shine no matter what.
AND I AM IN LOVE WITH NOEL AND BETTY. MALEWIFE/GIRLBOSS POWER COUPLE!! I am actually really looking forward to watching them more throughout the series. And really looking forward to how they’ll interact with Bernard later, I think that’ll be fun.
We got ONE (1) single Jack mention, and I’m very surprised that it happened this early on. Granted it was just about what he did in the third movie, and it barely counts as a mention, BUT ILL TAKE IT. That is MY frozen lunatic thank you kindly. (Still holding out for a Marty cameo)
Honestly a little disappointed that Charlie won't be taking over, and I DO NOT like his wife. His role in this is probably gonna be very short, but him being a dad is really cute.
I'm going into the rest of the series with an open mind, but with expectations still relatively low. It's a series that I feel like I could stop watching right now and I wouldn't feel bad about it or felt like I missed out on anything.
But maybe that'll change! Who knows. Either way, that's my little unwanted opinion, my two cents on the matter.

you seriously would kill a victorian child if you told them the news of what has happened in the last 48 hours, like the press tour for this movie might as well have just single handedly revived pop culture as we used to know it.
like to sum it all up for the uninitiated- the lead cast isn't on speaking terms, rumours go that the director is fucking the male lead who also happens to be an international popstar and OH WAIT, apparently it's all for publicity now and OH LORD now there's gay rumours...
so the press conference is a hot MESS....first harry comes to venice with nothing but vibes and a dream, and reacts to rumours about him being a himbo by creating more rumours about him being a himbo.
like my man deadass makes an unserious af remark about the fucking air conditioning, sits around kicking his feet and giggling whilst thinking about his 'movie that feels like a movie' and talks out of his ass when asked a question like he's trying to reach the word count for an essay.
oh and not to mention he kissed a married man(nothing new) infront of his 'girlfriend', served major cunt and LEFT, all amidst rumours of spitting on chris pine's lap.
chris pine, btw, came to that premiere, astral projected to the swiss alps for the entirety of the event, took one for the team and sat in between Harry and the horse, regretted his life decisions that led up to that moment, and then got the fuck out of there.
miss flo SLAYED as we knew she would and showed up late to the panel with an aperol spritz and STOLE THE SCENE, recreated the 'ur doing amazing sweetie' meme with chris, put olivia in her place, made a statement and escaped the theatre the moment that movie ended, because why not?
olivia took the biggest L as she always does and was blatantly ignored throughout the event and ALL for a movie with 39% on rotten tomatoes like it was BAD for miss self proclaimed girlboss, heck her own "boyfriend" didn't acknowledge her existence ONCE and was laughing in the corner as she fought for her life with the controversial questions in the panel.
all in all, this was the most chaotic harrie twt and tumblr has been ever since like forever, and i don't think anything will ever beat this, today was a blast and the most satisfying thing EVER.
this is the most accurate summary of yesterday 😭

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Thanks....
god this question is too much for me
like dont get me wrong i can talk about my blorbos the whole day but you want me to compare them and pick favorites?? and narrow the list to only 10?? oh boy
here are ten fictional characters that live very close to my heart, whom i am mentally holding in my pocket, carrying around and feeding cookies. there are probably many others who deserved to be on this list but,,, i hope they will at least forgive me if i give them extra cookies 😔😔😔
10. Anne Shirley-Cuthbert (Anne with an E)
Tumblr media
She is everything beautiful in this world. One of the most enjoyable main characters to watch. Kind, passionate, open-minded, strong and fun. I want her to be the happiest person in the world because she deserves the best of everything. I wish I could see more of her, I could never get bored of watching this girl.
9. Paris Geller (Gilmore Girls)
Tumblr media
Apart from the fact that she invented being a girlboss, this woman right here is THE main character. She's never been wrong in her entire life. I relate to her an unhealthy amount, seeing this girl get all hyped up about high school debates make me so happy because I was her. I am her. I love her.
8. Mitsuba Sousuke (Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun)
Tumblr media
"Lemme make the most mentally fucked up character in my series all cute and pink so that my editor lets me keep his emo ass in the series." —the author at some point, probably. THIS BOY. ugh. He's so annoying and so unlikeable but he's also got the same middle school trauma as me so he gets to live in my pocket and eat cookies too. Protect him at all costs. (protect him from the author themselves, tbh)
7. Kurapika (Hunter x Hunter)
Tumblr media
He's ugly and pathetic I hate him.
😔❤️✨
6. Nakajima Atsushi (Bungou Stray Dogs)
Tumblr media
Pretty boi with trauma, INFP, self-conscious, people pleaser, (loser in general): my favorite genre of fictional characters. :D He needs to be hugged. He deserves to be hugged. SOMEONE HUG THIS BOY.
5. Leorio Paladiknight (Hunter x Hunter)
Tumblr media
If you've only seen HxH once, you might have missed it but this man. This man is the best person in that whole series. The best in any aspect you can think of, actually. He's the strongest, the kindest, the most important and the most realistically written character of HxH but he looks so lame among all those weirdos that it's hard to notice. I can talk about him for hours. I can write ten different essays about him. He's not just there for comedic relief, he's not just there as the dumb one in the friend group added to the story just to make others look better. He's important. He's the heart that connects people. He's the one that keeps his friends grounded (the friends being a group of major losers consisting of an ex-assassin with severe childhood trauma, a clueless fucking kid with a habit of cutting his own hands off once in every three months, and an angry, chain-licking 20yo virgin himbo.) Leorio is amazing and we should say it more. He's strong. He's pretty. He's canonically got the the most calming heartbeat in the world. He's. He.... Oreo man.
4. Sakusa Kiyoomi (Haikyuu!!)
Tumblr media
Listen. He's so important to me. Do you know how much it means to have a character with semi-canon OCD in one of my favorite series? Do you know how seen that makes me feel? I love Furudate for that. I love Sakusa Kiyoomi because he makes me think that maybe, if you work hard for it, a shitty mental illness doesn't have to prevent you from achieving all the great things you could do. I don't know man, I'm probably reading way too much into an underwritten character, but still. He makes me so happy. He's an annoying little shit, he's grumpy and he's too blunt and he's sick in the head but he's also loveable. And I relate to him so much, that when I see people loving him despite everything, I feel like maybe I am worth of that too. This one is very personal to me. I'm just so glad that he exists. Also he pretty. smash
Now for the top 3, I don't have a top 3. I got three of my very own children. I can't rank them at all, they all mean way too much to me. And I'm sorry but top 3 is reserved for them and probably always will be.
Emma, Norman and Ray (The Promised Neverland)
Tumblr media
They're a package deal. I couldn’t separate them in the list, but I couldn’t pick who I like more than the other either, so the three of them get to share my top 1 spot. They live in my most comfortable pocket, the one that's the closest to my heart. I love all of them individually, their own distinct personalities that makes them so unique and admirable in their own way, but their bond means so much more to me. I love all of their personalities but I love how well they all fit together more. I love how they complete each other. I love that they're a mess when they're not together, I love that they don't know how to live without each other, I love that their love and trust were stronger than all the things they've been through. This manga is my favorite thing among all the things I've read in my life and it is mostly thanks to them, the best main cast ever. They're irreplaceable to me. I know TPN isn't the best series out there, but it speaks to me in a whole another level. These three are everything I would love to see in a cast and more. They've never bored me in the slightest even after reading the manga three times over. The fullscore trio. My children. My everything. I miss them everyday <3
I think this is it?
Thank you SO MUCH for this ask!! I know you only asked for a list and I bombarded you with paragraphs of me showering my blorbos with love sjjfjskf sorry

i love your ocs and wanna know more here's some more, 2, 9, 23
2.) if you gave an in depth description of your story to someone who was not all the way paying attention, what would their takeaway be?
"Gods in that universe are kind of like humans" maybe JGDLKLKGJDS
9.) if your story got a video game adaptation/spin off, what would it be like? if your project is already a video game, do this for a novelization.
A VIDEO GAME WOULD BE REALLY COOL ACTUALLY. I imagine it would be a visual novel because I actually started writing a vn spinoff I think it would be hard to turn the story, which is kind of disjointed and character centric, bouncing around whichever character is important at the moment, into anything OTHER than a visual novel... A spinoff with fighting elements based on god powers would be super fun though.
BUT THE VISUAL NOVEL SPINOFF I STARTED IS FUN!!! I called it something like "Dinner With a God" and the basic premise is that the player is a human character who ends up, through some event or another, having dinner with a Literal, Actual God, getting to choose which of my OCs at the start. They get to ask the god various questions, learning more about their backstories and secrets... and I was considering making there be routes, like a friendship route, a romance route, and an enemy route, but idk if I'm dedicated enough for that much work. I think most of the work would be for writing, because I could just make static sprites with different expressions and there would be maybe one single area change (the place you have dinner -> where the god takes you afterwards) so that's... like. two backgrounds. Maybe a few more if there's a new location per god. But idk if I'll ever finish writing even one route!!! I got the most progress on Tempest's, and even then it feels short and inconclusive so far :P But it's definitely doable if I put my mind to it!!!
23.) describe how everyones character gets butchered once in the public eye?
THIS IS A FUN EXERCISE
Ry: Gets hit with the "dumbass" beam. He's himbo-ified. Not a single ounce of nuance, they will treat him like he doesn't literally have a super intense interest in science and is very booksmart (while also being a little dumb in other ways)
Tempest: Cold and mean unnecessarily... People will look at them and ignore their healing. Or, slightly less bad, turn them into a crybaby for the ways they break down during their healing.
Storm: Honestly how would they. How could I possibly predict it. Maybe they'd latch onto them being seen as evil by other characters and go "yeah they're Actually Evil And Cruel"
Araceli: Mom friend alert!!! I also like thinking about her caring for others, but boiling her down misses the Nuances of why she cares about people like a mom. They will absolutely not care about the nuances.
Caelestis: Probably focusing on his mood swings and the times he's literally at his worst. Again with the "ignoring healing"... ACTUALLY WAIT THEY ALSO MIGHT JUST BOIL HIM DOWN TO HIS ROMANCE WITH STORM. They're going to make him the gayboy character :/
Topaz: Teehee girlboss who kills people and is brutal and has always been hiding her true feelings under a mask. Like yes! To a degree that's true! But I just know people will take it too far. Let Topaz be cringefail and pathetic too.

10 Characters, 10 Fandoms, 10 Tags!
Thank you @celestial-alignment for tagging me to share my 10 favorite characters from 10 different fandoms!
(Favorites subject to change without warning, void where prohibited. I'm just proud of myself for finally actually completing a tag post. I had a hard enough time narrowing down the fandoms!)
LET THE PARADE OF BLORBOS COMMENCE
Star Wars: Princess Leia Organa
Tumblr media
The original galactic girlboss. She is beauty, she is grace, she will shoot you in the face, and kick your ass to outer space. She fights hard because she loves hard. She doesn't know who we are or where we came from, but from now on, we do as she tells us.
Star Trek: Commander Deanna Troi
Tumblr media
Patron saint of situational disability. Does a thankless job and does it well. If she makes you uncomfortable it’s probably for your own good. (Just like Mom, but don’t let her hear you say that.) Hair goals.
Batman ’66: Batman
Tumblr media
The Bright Knight. The man himself. He’s a weirdo and he leans into it. Pulled off a conference call with Jim Gordon and Bruce Wayne. Has his own dance craze and a killer theme song.
Night Court: Judge Harry Stone
Tumblr media
Has every right to be sad and bitter, chooses laughter instead. Will drag you kicking and screaming out of your own bad mood. Turns down the lights and plays Mel Tormé for lesbians. 
Babylon 5: Lennier of the Third Fane of Chudomo
Tumblr media
To right the unrightable wrong, and to love pure and chaste from afar, this is his quest to follow that star. Sweet boy who came to a bad end.
Dark Shadows (Original Series): Jenny Collins
Tumblr media
If you read Jane Eyre and stanned the mad wife in the attic, Jenny’s your girl. I know if I married a Victorian cad who ran off to Egypt with his brother’s wife, MY big sister would turn him into a werewolf, too. Trivia: I once played the Third Witch in Macbeth by just pretending to be Jenny Collins.
The Vampire Chronicles: Louis de Pointe du Lac
Tumblr media
Bit of a Gloomy Gus? Sure. Brings the room down sometimes? It’s a fair cop. But boy, can this dude weave a story. The author might have switched her allegiance to the bad boy, but the first book is what drew people in and it’s all Louis and his Byronic brooding. (Using an image from the 1994 film adaptation, but it’s more about the books for me.)
Our Flag Means Death: Lucius Spriggs
Tumblr media
Reminds me of my oldest friend, who I met in junior high school. Sometimes you just need a friend to tell you you're going to end up another leather-clad, middle-aged sad sack dying alone in a puddle of your own piss, so hang onto him.
The Muppets: Forgetful Jones
Tumblr media
You’re spoiled for choice with this bunch, right? But ol’ Forgetful was my first love, consarn it. Miss you, Richard Hunt. I had more to say, but… I FORGOT!
Forever Knight: Nick Knight/Nicolas de Brabant
Tumblr media
With the face of a fallen angel and the blackest silk pajamas in the Greater Toronto Area, our vampire himbo prince was the best undead Canadian homicide cop of the late twentieth century. Being cute covers a multitude of sins
ETA: How the hell did I miscount? I’ve been working on this forever! I bumped Miss Parker, so she might come and kill me..
I tried to come up with a fancy system for randomly selecting blogs to tag, but it didn't go so well, so I just picked the first ten blogs I instantly recognized from my followers list (which is sorted however tumblr sorts these things). If you're tagged and don’t want to do it (or have already done it), that is cool! If you're not tagged and do want to do it, that may even be slightly cooler.
@ilovemesomevincentprice @tunglo @agent-troi @oysterloaf @dunkaroosandglitter @megalokalypse @gooosetooth @rose-of-pollux @righteousnerd​ @gaslightgallows​

I’d argue the only reason it’s said they look similar is cause who else is walking around with a giant head with giant eyes and a mouth? I definitely think if they had noses or chins or you know, normal human features, this wouldn’t be a conversation. Cause at the end of the day it’s almost saying everyone with these characteristics looks like your sibling and I think there’s just too many blondes with blondes and brunettes with brunettes in the world to say that you know? Like realistically, if they did have their missing features, I don’t think this’d be an issue at all. But it’s a funny concept to play with for sure esp when writing fics and the pairs. Also, Bloomer just lives in my heart a little now. It’s still not my preferred, number 1 ship but there’s so much there both romantically and platonically and I’m so excited to see your upcoming draft!! I wish their potential (as well as brick & bubbles) as both romantics and friends (BESTIES EVEN) would be explored cause these are two incredibly underrated pairings and two incredibly chaotic friendships in the making (it seems everyone finds it easy to pair off the greens with the different siblings but no one can manage it completely with the reds and blues, very underexplored I’d say)
I agree! The simplicity of their designs probably add to the arguments as well, and I think that’s where fanon stuff comes in and fills in the gaps 😂 theyre all are too different for me to think it’s wrong to pair them off, but hey, everyone’s entitled to their own opinion! I can see *why* someone *could* feel weird about it, but ultimately, i believe those concerns are funny.
Also yessssss I’m so happy I’m helping ppl see how fun it is pairing the blues and reds together. Bloomer would be a great girlboss x himbo couple!!! Like, someone asks Blossom what she even saw in him as they watch him try to pull open a push door, and she just shrugs and goes “he makes me laugh”
Because that’s what she needs 👏👏 someone who’s like “babe, I didn’t understand a word of what you just said to me, but you looked so hot doing it” while she’s in the middle of yelling at him about the radioactive block of ??? he’s been causally playing with.
And brick and bubbles!?? Seemingly total opposites but BOTH huge crybabies. And no one can take that h/c away from me. She makes him feel safe so he can be his true dorky self, and he doesn’t treat her like a child. It would work! Trust me! (They’d be tht couple who still has to hold hands when arguing because arguing makes them sad)

For the ship bingo: Arkos and Nuts and Dolts for RWBY, Catradora and Glimmadora for She-ra?
arkos:
Tumblr media
I love them so much I swear 😭 girlboss and her skrunkly himbo.......... they deserve the world. And jaunes grieving post v3 ALWAYS breaks my heart no matter how many times i see it. I miss them your honor
Nuts and Dolts:
Tumblr media
Not my all time favorite rwby ship but I still enjoy them from time to time! I'm biased tho since I have another favorite ruby ship :P they're great tho and have an amazing dynamic
Catradora:
Tumblr media
Even if it's not my main she ra ship I still appreciate them SO much. and the fact that they're one of the few canonical sapphic relationships in TV with a full on kiss scene definitely elevates them! gotta love that friends to enemies to lovers Angst
glimmadora:
Tumblr media
Glimmadora gives me such nostalgia since it was my main ship when i was first watching she ra as it came out! I love their dynamic and I love how soft they are... the scene in the hot springs with glimmer cuddled up to adora always lives rent free in my head. I think that glimmer catra and adora should all kiss. in fact they deserve it

Uncultured Swine Reviews Eurovision 2022
You heard that right. Local Woman Whose Ancestors Haven't Seen Europe In Over 100 Years has OPINIONS on the European musicshow. Listen, I need my eurobeat fix somehow, OK? It's all lofi chill beats to study to this side of the pond and my CROPS are WITHERING. Besides, why does Australia get to go while we stay home like Cinderella? Britain's our wicked stepmother, too! MOOOOOOM-
🇦🇱 Albania: Ronela Hajati - Sekret
This song felt like a combination of two different songs, one of which was reggaeton for some reason. Did anyone else hear the Albanian woman singing about whining up or was that just me. HELP? Anyway it was immediately redeemed by the music video being hot and sexy game of thrones gladiator stuff. Sorry! I'm a lesbian.
🇦🇲 Armenia: Rosa Linn - Snap
Rosa Linn doesn't sound like she's about to snap, she sounds like she's about to Outlander herself through some rocks to the year 2013 to buy a ukulele... tell me WHY this is serving me Mumford and Sons Vance Joy Featherstone realness i'm losing my mind
"This can easily be fixed by adding a DJ who pretends to scratch In real life of course, this is thirty years old But in Eurovision, it will give your number a contemporary feel" -- Love Love Peace Peace
🇦🇺 Australia: Sheldon Riley - Not The Same
Tumblr media
🇦🇹 Austria: LUM!X feat. Pia Maria - Halo
Eurovision 2022 winner for me, EASY. Austria, you were ROBBED. "Oh but Pia Maria sounded bad live-" LALALALALALLALALALALALALAA I CAN'T HEAR YOU
It's serving magical girl transformation theme
It's serving hollow CEO girlboss anthem
It's serving strange lyrical metaphors you shouldn't think about too hard (can angel halos travel to hell and back? Don't worry about it!)
It's serving Spotify hyperfixation
We don't need no Hercules to bring a man to his knees. No apologies.

🇧🇪 Belgium: Jérémie Makiese - Miss You
opening perfect 10. I love it when guys chadface at me during their breakup bops... noooo aha don't dump me your so sexy
🇧🇬 Bulgaria: Intelligent Music Project - Intention
I feel like if you name your musicband "intelligent music project" you radiate reddit "DAE hate rap?" vibes despite this song sounding like something my gen-Xer boss would listen to in the car
🇭🇷 Croatia: Mia Dimšić - Guilty Pleasure
You can tell I'm 26 and boring, because I kept thinking "man, I feel bad for Mia's long-term partner who doesn't know his girlfriend wants to run off with her ex.. Yikes." Haha! I pay taxes!
🇨🇾 Cyprus: Andromache - Ela
8/10, would twirl in a village square to this with wheat sheafs woven into my braids (?)
🇨🇿 Czech Republic: We Are Domi - Lights Off
When the electro house fiend says "wow, there is WAY too much synth going on in this, i feel like the computer is barfing on me," you know there's too much production
🇩🇰 Denmark: REDDI - The Show
I came away from this song assuming it was about someone's estranged, abusive mother. Is Denmark okay?

"ESTONIA MADE A COWBOY SONG. AND IT FUCKS." - me in the discord window

🇫🇷 France: Alvan & Ahez - Fulenn
Loved this one. My silver medalist, for sure.
Because I'm Canadian and have some French literacy, I went "what's this fucked up French dialect?" before realizing it was Breton.
I'm kind of bored and its getting too chummy so I'm going to get political in here for no reason. ... anyway anyone else think it's funny that France refuses to recognize Breton as an official language but is content to use it in their Eurovision song entries for Exoticism.
🇬🇪 Georgia: Circus Mircus - Lock Me In
Obsessed about how this song is literally about NOTHINGGGG... LOCKED INTO WHAT?? LOCKED OUT OF WHAT??? As the zoomers would say, "Himbo icon!"

🇮🇪 Ireland: Brooke - That’s Rich
Reached the point in my career where I have trouble relating to heterosexual relationship struggles... not in a MEAN way just in a "wow do guys really do that?? Damnnnn that's crazy" way... rip to this guy
🇮🇱 Israel: Michael Ben David - I.M
Tumblr crashed right when I got to Israel because it knows full well that whatever I think about (ahem) all of this will get me embroiled in discourse... she was trying to save me. But I can't be silenced. I just think it's FUNNY THATAnyway, next song
🇮🇹 Italy: Mahmood & Blanco - Brividi
euphoria soundtrack ballad SKIP
🇱🇻 Latvia: Citi Zēni - Eat Your Salad
Do any of you know what it's like to be minding your own business with your Beats StudioBuds in, photocopying a medical chart, and hear a man's voice yell
INSTEAD OF MEAT
I EAT VEGGIES AND
PUSSY
I can barely remember what the rest of the song is about, because the opening line delivery came to life and punched me in the face like a Latvian genie.
🇱🇹 Lithuania: Monika Liu - Sentimentai
OOOH!!! It's cool I LIKE IT boop boop beep beep
🇲🇹 Malta: Emma Muscat - I Am What I Am
What is this song even saying... you're so brave, I guess. Or something
🇲🇩 Moldova: Zdob şi Zdub & Frații Advahov - Trenulețul
Yes. YES. THIS. THIS IS PEAK EUROVISION PERFORMANCE. I don't want to hear your "English" or your "ballad." I want to hear ACCORDION. I want to hear MOLDOVAN. She IS the blueprint. This one got a shout-out on my twitter
🇲🇪 Montenegro: Vladana - Breathe

🇲🇰 North Macedonia: Andrea - Circles

This song is about being a DL and having a side dude and you can't tell me otherwise... also THAT'S SPANISH NOT ROMANIAN? AGAIN? CHANEL, GET THEIR ASSES

You want to be Maneskin SO BAD! Part 2. No I'm kidding, this song was pretty good. I sent it to my girlfriend because she likes rock

Did they seriously plug Megan Markle in the first verse? Leave that woman alone!! HUH??? ok I just looked up the lyrics translation. It probably sounds better in Serbian
🇸🇮 Slovenia: LPS - Disko
9/10. We LOVE a Persona 4 soundtrack song about getting cucked!
🇪🇸 Spain: Chanel - SloMo
I DMed my Dominican friend when this song came on and wanted to know if Spanish people singing Latin pop was cultural appropriation (JOKINGLY! IN A KIDDING WAY!) anyway her response was "no, but only if the song is good." Anyway, Chanel is Cuban-Spanish, which explains why her accent does NOT sound Spanish... it's really good. Someone call Albania up and tell them THIS is what you whine to
🇸🇪 Sweden: Cornelia Jakobs - Hold Me Closer
Ugh not ANOTHER one
🇨🇭 Switzerland: Marius Bear - Boys Do Cry
My hand was hovering over the SKIP button, ready to scoff at another softboy singing a ballad, and then I started crying at the photocopier and listened to the whole thing. WHATEVER. I don't want to TALK ABOUT IT.
🇺🇦 Ukraine: Kalush Orchestra - Stefania
I really enjoy Slavic folk music, so I had a good time with this one. It was only after looking up the backstory that I realized these guys were swapped in last-minute. I'm confused. Was the original girl a russian plant or something? Anyway, it was good.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom: Sam Ryder - SPACE MAN
THIS is what it sounds like when the UK makes a "good song"? :/
