#i'm classing this as canon now

[welcometogrouchland]

I understand that literature nerd Jason Todd is kind of overblown in fanon compared to it's actual presence in canon (a few issues during his pre (and post?)crisis Robin tenure that highlight it) BUT consider that I think it's hilarious if the unhinged gun toting criminal has strong opinions on poetry

#ramblings of a lunatic #dc comics #Jason Todd #batfamily #it's just a fun quirk! it's a fun lil detail and I simply cannot slight ppl for enjoying and incorporating it into works #like obviously jason isn't the only one. I'm a big believer in the batfam having over lapping interests they refuse to bond over #i know dick canonically used the robin hood stories (which are pretty flowery in their language far as i can tell) as inspo for Robin #and i know babs was a librarian and even tho her area of nerddom is characterized as more computery she probably knows quite a lot- #-about literature as well #duke is a hobbyist writer i believe? i saw a fan mention that- which if so is great and I hope he's also a nerd #(i mean he is canonically. i remember him being a puzzle nerd in his introduction. but i mean specifically a lit nerd) #damian called Shakespeare boring but also took acting classes so i think he's more of a theatre kid. #Tim's a dropout and i don't think he's ever shown distinct interest in english lit and i can't remember for Steph? #I'm ngl my brain hyperfocused on musician Steph i forget some of her other interests I'm sorry (minus softball and gymnastics!) #and then Cass had her whole (non linear but it's whatevs) arc about literacy and learning to read #went from struggling to read in batgirl 00 to memorizing Shakespeare in 'tec and is now an avid read in batgirls! #she's shown reading edgar allen poe but we don't know if it's his short stories or his poems #point to all of the above being: i know Jason's not the only lit nerd in the batfam #but also i do need him to be writing poetry in his spare time and reading and reviewing it #jason at the next dead robins society meeting: evening folks today I'll be assigning all of us poems based on laika the space dog #damian and steph who have been kidnapped and brought to jasons warehouse to hangout: LET US GO BITCH #speaking of^ random poem i think jason would like: space dog by alan shapiro #wake up one morning in an unfamiliar more mature body with a profound sense of abandonment. the last four lines. mmm tasty

How much would it cost to see post lov Loudspeaker with all of his scars? I have shiny rocks and seashells

Doesn't take much to convince me to draw Loudspeaker. But give me your coolest rock.

#horikoshi give mic scars challenge #make him cooler >:( #if i had the rights to mha I'd make the Loudspeaker au canon I reckon it'd really add some excitement #I don't keep up with the show any more I only pay attention when Mic is doing something #If he dies I'm going mental because there is no reason in the plot for him to die. I think Horikoshi kills off characters #just for shock value sometimes #like Midnight #done being annoyed. chill again now #his burns were originally supposed to be hand shaped but that was really hard to draw #did anyone notice in the showdown comic that his hair gradually flattened so it wasn't in the Loudspeaker style anymore #to show his return to the light #or did i illustrate that for nothing #i feel like it's not as effective if I just tell you I did it but whatever #imagine if you were in class and your teacher made you analyse the Loudspeaker au #bnha #hizashi yamada #present mic #villain!mic #loudspeaker au #im going to dekaianime do you guys want anything

day 5 of perc'ahlia week: fairytale/class

ok so. goddess vex and cringe fail cleric percy. (not pictured bc i ran out of time to draw it but she becomes mortal for him lol <3)

#percy de rolo #vex'ahlia #perc'ahlia #critical role #vox machina #cr #cr1 #my art #percahliaweek #percahliaweek23 #fuck. art brain is not cooperating i'm just posting this #cleric percy is objectively the funniest possible class swap you could make for him but suddenly it became way serious when i thought abt #how vex would fit into the au if she was his goddess and now i gave myself brain damage. bless! #anyway on another note i think it is super important that percy has just as much relentless haterism here as in canon

[asteralien]

richard's relationship with money is so interesting to me despite/because of how vague and nonspecific it is in canon. which only makes sense because the show isn't interested in richard's backstory at ALL and, it being an audio medium, it can't exactly give many context clues like wardrobe/style or what his apartment/house looks like. but it's like......... he doesn't have interests, he dabbles in money-making activities. i am practically forced to assume that his mention of being good at pool also = a side hustle. his estranged dad up and left him a house and a paid ride to college. at this point he's way better off than he's ever been -- after 18 years of living with two separate conmen and a mother who doesn't care about him in mediocre apartments, he's suddenly on his own with his future out in front of him, and....... he STILL takes very risky grade-changing jobs for money? like he bypasses getting a regular college job and goes straight to petty crime? and apparently "far worse" crimes??? it's such an interesting balance between craving the security of Having Money and being pathologically unable to get it in a "normal" "safe" way. he doesn't even do anything with it in canon, he just GETS it. he isn't even buying lucy's drinks himself!!!! obviously even richard has bills to pay (which is. very funny to me. sorry that i think 19-year-old college era richard is the funniest person to ever exist, gremlin who's only ever lived in an apartment with his mother, sister, and mother's rotating cast of boyfriends, suddenly has a whole ass house dumped in his lap on his 18th birthday in exchange for his whole ass father's wholesale abandonment of him, has to figure out how to pay utility bills on his own, maybe thinks about getting a barista job or whatever kids did in the 80s, record shop clerk job?? and then nopes past it and picks "exploiting a child genius" as a career path instead. what a fucking legend. i also think he murdered people for money a couple times but that's just me) sorry i've lost the plot of this post thinking about campbell county community college computers richard. imagine being the people at the 5 Cs in charge of hiring STUDENT COUNSELORS and seeing richard maxwell strut into his interview and thinking "yes this 18-year-old suspiciously home-owning kid who talks like a john hughes movie antagonist and is currently his kid sister's very much illegal guardian is the perfect fit for our emotionally and socially fragile 11-year-old resident genius. what could go wrong" and then they have to pay for nicholas adamsworth's therapy sessions for the next 5 years because richard maxwell was what could go wrong. fuck. "waylaid in the windy city" maybe be my personal favorite richard but pre- and mid-"eugene's dilemma" richard is definitely the weirdest and funniest

#richard maxwell #aio #richard goes home deliriously exhausted from his college classes and 14 illegal side hustles and has to help rachael with her math homework #'why does he talk Like That' because it was the 80s and he's a single father next question #no wonder he genuinely likes lucy she's a Good Kid who doesn't need him she just likes him #despite everything that's probably the most straightforward relationship he has #unfortunately on lucy's end she also requires several years of therapy after her category 5 richard maxwell moment #like EVERYTHING about eugene's dilemma richard makes simultaneously more and less sense #when you realize that he's got the background radiation of 'my estranged mom showed up out of the blue to make me take care of her/my siste #'and then she left me alone with my sister and no way to contact her if i needed help' #'and then my sister got taken away from me because she got busted for shoplifting several times in a row so now i'm alone again' #'i canonically hate myself for failing her this way' #'also someone almost kidnapped me in a creeper van the other day' #the fact that fotf created the Most Character of All Time without meaning to or realizing is so fucking infuriating to me #at the very least richard maxwell should have been a supernatural character. he could have shone there. #instead. here we are.

saw a post about projecting your ethnicity onto a character and started missing vespa ilkay. so so bad

#pov u grow up in a 3rd world country(/planet) where healthcare workers are exported by the thousands like cheap produce to richer countries #it's your ticket out of poverty as long as you can deal with the loneliness the separation from everyone you know the discrimination etc #ive never talked about my hc that vespas mother was one of them sending money every month visiting every couple of years until it just stop #like why return to the swamps when youre doing fine working on a richer planet w much better living conditions #cost of living rises every year. sending home a % of your salary used to be enough to support your husband and daughter and then it isnt #you know how it goes #vespa is also dead set on this path until ranga realizes that hemorrhaging healthcare workers leaves them with little to none of their own #students on scholarships or in community/state universities are bound by return service agreements and are forbidden to leave the country #until theyve rendered a few years of work on ranga to pay back their tuition + as a really shitty solution to the brain drain problem #this is real in my country btw but my professors say a lot of ppl do break their rsa's and fucked off to work in other countries LOL #our state unis can barely afford decent facilities they do nottt have the budget to chase down their own alumni in other countries! #but the mental image is a bit funny #vespa ilkays first crime: tinakasan ang rsa #i do also think it lines up with her having a network of med friends everywhere in the galaxy (heart of it all) you kind of go into pre/med #expecting most of your classmates to leave to work in other countries eventually. mine are aiming for the usa / uae / europe / japan etc #anyway whether vespa breaks her rsa or not she leaves ranga asap decides to switch careers and the rest is history #i also deeply love the fact that she's superstitious i'm very sad it wasn't highlighted more (i've only heard s1-3) #as someone who did grow up in a rural area and went to more albularyos/folk healers than doctors in my childhood. (they never failed me) #lots of folk illnesses (ex. balis; pasma) local medical superstitions (dont eat noodles in hospital; youll have a really toxic shift) etcc #theres also a lot of potential in tying her past as a rangian + med student + assassin to me idk how to word this properly #being raised on cautionary tales of not to touch/disturb anything in the swamps then being given free reign to poke & prod at things in her #lab classes (now with the proper ppe)....she was having so much fun with the curemother prime too lmao #years of walking hanging bridges docks boathouses in ranga etc gave her great balance & stealth #cracking open alien shellfish in the swamps to cutting open bodies for studying then for assassination.... #I MISS HER SO MUCH BALIK KN SAKEN 😭😭😭😭😭😭 #i get why most people + the canon focuses on her being an assassin bc people find that cooler i guess #but vespa being a swamp girl > 3rd world med student > assassin is so personal To Me. the whole pipeline. eugh. #skl.txt

Urusei Yatsura but nothing really change except Ataru is dying /hj

This is just a fun story if UY is more focused on class reps plot

#This Ataru's hairstyle keep haunting my brain so I need let him out #but now I love it more so he will never leave me #This is technically not an au #Just canon divergence #but to make it easy I'm going to call it class rep au #class rep au #ataru moroboshi #lum #lum the invader #shinobu miyake #shutaro mendou #urusei yatsura #uy allstars #canon divergence

So while I was raking leaves today I was thinking that as much as Bakugou bullying Izuku and later redeeming himself is an integral part of canon, it could be improved upon. I’ve always been a fan of AUs where Bakugou is exactly the same personality wise but he stayed friends with Izuku and is his biggest supporter.

Basically baby Katsuki looked between his best friend in the whole wide world who just got diagnosed as quirkless and the prejudices of society and took Izuku’s side. And because this boy doesn’t do anything by halves he is so ride or die. Izuku trains his mind and body, he and Katsuki hang out constantly and make plans for their future agency, they spar together until they’re both formidable fighters. You can obviously insert canon in here which would be the same only Izuku a) starts out buff b) has a bit more confidence/self worth and c) All Might has to deal with an angry Pomeranian barking at him not to hurt Izuku 24/7. Aizawa clocks them as the class’s disaster duo within 5 seconds of meeting them and he’s not wrong but he underestimates the trouble they can get into.

Me, being me, I was playing with it today in my quirkless verse. They both get into Yuuei, Bakugou in Heroics and Izuku in Gen Ed. Katsuki would be hissing and sneering at his classmates for “stealing Deku’s spot” and it’s annoying but also kind of cute. They hear a lot about this Deku person, he’s tactically brilliant and a dirty fighter and doesn’t need a quirk to pound Katsuki into the ground. They’re shaking, imaging like a 7′ demonic beast. Only one day, the door to 1-A opens and its this sweet boy with curls and freckles and the friendliest smile like “Kacchan, you left your school books at my house again :)” And they collectively lose their shit that THIS is Deku. Then they watch him and Bakugou spar and its like, oh okay then, I am Afraid again.

Anyway, point being, I still think we could have had a compelling, interesting story if Bakugou was still his kind of douchey self but at the same time was Izuku’s best friend and biggest hype man.

#basically i took my favorite part of MGM and pasted it on top of TLWA #I just finished a 22k fic I can have self indulgent AUs while raking #I'm craving some Bakugou and Izuku are good friends content and cant find ittttt #like sure post redemption bakugou okay but what about one where they stayed friends #where even when it was Hard Katsuki wouldn't let Izuku go #even with a quirkless diagnosis he wanted so badly to be a hero with his bestie #that he does everything to encouarge Izuku not to give up #if its canon OFA changes everything bc before Katsuki thought it would brain and brawn but now Deku is more powerful than him #Hes so happy but also still needs to do some growth on his own superiority complex #if its TLWA he's Izuku's biggest advocate to transfer #he literally harasses Aizawa constantly about it drags Izuku to class activities all the time #From there its just training until they graduate and form their agency just like they said they always would #idk man #I spent a lot of time in bakus head recently #I want him to be an aggressive neurotic a little bit of asshole but still good friend

[galadae]

woke up thinking about how cala learned to tank bc she was sick of people dying for her (and figured if someone had to get hurt it might as well be her) and then she learned healer bc she wanted everyone to live

#like. just the aggressive need to survive and have everyone survive with her. I'm emo about it tbh #I'm still trying to decide which healer job is ger current canon bc bad things happened to her aether lol #she can't summon much of anything anymore #but. idk she still tanks ofc i think it's just. less of a self destructive thing akdhkd #bc that was definitely an element in hw/sb lol #she is not great at it. it was the last class she picked up #i think she didn't learn it for so long bc she didn't see the use - she could always do enough damage to get the job done #i didn't even think it would be canon for her for the longest time #but the fact that it is now is growth to me #oc: calantha lenn

Sheri: A Powerpoint Intro

It is here! A tiny bit of background: Sheri is sort of a companion to Triad, in the sense that it shows some of what happened to the other ex-heir to the Navaren throne, but it takes place after it (by at least 3 months). Also maybe someday I'll come up with a better title for it.

Anyway please enjoy this introduction to fantasy disaster gays.

#believe it or not Niran is an OLD old canon character who I just never did anything of substance with #he was Seriito's 'commoner' friend. because when I was like 10 I thought it was important that the royals had commoner friends #I'm glad to be doing something interesting with him. he is THRIVING in this college environment #I think Niran and Aza would get along really well. they're both animals people #also. 'seducing Gannet' is shorthand for 'Sheri got on fantasy grindr found Gannet and explained they had no more classes together' #'and Gannet accepted this as a fuckportunity' #I also decided on the name Gannet because you will take Negleeglo from my cold dead hands but it's unwieldy #however now I have a basic process for how their language forms nicknames which is awesome #and Gannet is a cool name #and yes. sheri asks kirnus personal questions. this is truly what the 'mega hate' section is for: bad things that are gonna happen #this was what was funniest: sheri panicking about never having hooked up with a trans guy because he wants to Be Good At It #as though asking your sister's trans partner is a way to Know How To Do This #anyway. I'm so excited about this #idk when I'm gonna write it but boy am I gonna rotate it #wip: sheri #powerpoint #rose brambles #undescribed

lays on the floor. i really wish i was one of those people who could play Just Anything on their characters and not worry about it being canon or making sense because it would make my life so much fuckin easier

#my desire to play loren's canon class for msq #vs my desire to play the class that feels Good and Fun to play on na without noclippy #fight to the death #like..... #drk is so key to who loren is. i really don't want to change that. #he's literally built around being a drk if i take drk away from him i don't have a character. #and i'm happy with where he's at *as* a character. especially now i've been replaying msq on him and thinking a lil more about him #but drk.... is not fun to me without noclippy. #and blm IS. #because i'm used to raiding on drk not being able to double weave feels like shit. it feels clunky and bad and unfun. #blm literally feels no different. bc it has so little weaving. #but idk if switching his class for dawntrail ruins his character. #and trying to brute force 'class i enjoy playing' is what spoiled corvus for me so much. #idk it sucks. #i just want to be happy with my main. #i don't have this problem with literally any of my other characters its JUST him #but like obviously i want to play him for my first play through dt!!!!! he's my lil guy!!!! #and my only other character through ew is m'seyli who is on the eu servers lol #and i wanna play with my fwends #idk im sure i'll figure it out or like get over it #i just needed to bitch in the tags of a tumblr post instead of feeling like im bothering my friends

Danny could totally blame some of his ghost fight injuries on Dash if he times things right. He avoids questions about how he managed to break his arm AND gets the added bonus of making Dash look bad.

He could use this to get out of gym for awhile as well.

#danny phantom #lets be real #he is a petty little shit in canon #he melted Dash's shoes to the floor once and used his powers to mess with him so many times #no one can tell me that if an injury got revealed during Dash's bullying getting physical that he wouldn't blame him #and then play injured for awhile just to get back at him #dash grabs him by the injured arm he reacts in pain BOOM Dash looks like a jerk who breaks arms #danny has a big bruise on his back? dash slams him into a locker and now he is known as the guy who shoved a kid so hard their entire back #bruised #see if he'll finally get in trouble now #danny's bones heal fast and he can just use intangibility to take the cast on and off #he just keeps it on when people who don't know his secret are around for the time it takes human bones to heal #oh I'm sorry I cant do gym class this month your football star broke my leg
