Click. Click. Clickclick-

Remus felt his agitation start to rise

Click. Clickcli-

His arm shoots out quickly and snatches the pen before he chucks it across the common room violently. He doesn't look up from his book even with the scandalized gasp and soft sound of the pen hitting the ground.

He turns the page and almost sighs in relief. His irritation slowly going away. Finally some peace and quiet.

Click.

His head whips to the side where Sirius holds another pen. He practically snarls as he slams his book shut, he looks at Sirius and crosses his arms.

"Sirius, for my sanity...what the fuck are you doing?" He hissss angrily

Sirius waves him off his finger drifting towards the back of the pen again. Remus latches onto his wrist and waits for Sirius to look at him. Sirius still looks out of it even as he slowly makes eye contact but he doesn't click the stupid pen again, so he counts it as a win.

"Spit it out or get rid of the pen." He gently takes the pen and shoves it in his robe pocket, now feeling concerned. What had Sirius so out of it?

"I just....do you think regulus has been seeing someone?" Sirius asks after a long period of silence. He stares at his hands and then to where Remus still holds him gently.

Remus let's go and sighs. He resists the urge to hex Sirius before taking a deep breath. He looks around the common room and doesn't see anyone who can take over this ridiculous conversation so he powers on. He shrugs nonchalantly, tries to figure out what he knows.

"why do you say that?"

Sirius shrugs and drums his fingers against the table in front of them. Remus twitches, his lips pursing together.

"Just..a feeling. He'd tell me if he was, wouldn't he?" He murmurs. He suddenly stills and whips his head towards Remus

"are you dating my brother!?"

It's such an absurd question, such a stupid silly thing to ask. Remus bursts into laughter, his stomach aches, he can barely breathe. By the time he's in tears he sees Sirius' put out look so he tries to calm down and take this seriously.

"Siri- Sirius please- what are you on about-" he shakes his head and wipes the tears from his eyes still grinning

"Lord no...no I'm not- what don't give me that look!" He exclaims

Sirius glowers at him and pouts, swiftly turning his body away from Remus in a childish way of saying 'im mad at you'.

"Did you want me to say yes!? Pads what is your problem?"

He turns towards Sirius with a raised eyebrow

"You said it as if he was gross! I thought you were best friends!"

Remus gaped at Sirius for a moment before pinching the bridge of his nose

"Pads...I can't believe I have to say this-" he takes a deep breath and exhales harshly

"I'm not attracted to your brother but he's still attractive...objectively."

Sirius scowls deeper and huffs

Remus thinks about jumping off the astronomy tower.

"now what's the problem?"

"Well...it's just weird you said he's attractive. He's younger than you and he's my brother!"

Remus' eye twitches

"One he's only a year younger and two he's of age- no wait- you were mad I didn't think he was attractive and now your mad I said he is?"

"Yes! Maybe I'll just go see prongs! He'd never be so terrible to me!"

Oh how wrong he was. Remus almost snorted, he watched as Sirius stomped out of the common room with fond eyes. He was irritated for sure but he was also highly amused.

Pulling out the map he quickly searches for James's name. He isn't surprised to see him far too close to one regulus black. Rolling his eyes he searches for Sirius and immediately chokes on a laugh

"Oh boy...that's not good."

Do you ship any of the turtles with anyone? or do you ship anything in rise at all?

(This ended up being a lot longer an answer than I intended hoo boy sorry about that)

Hmmm, I’m not too big a shipper tbh! Especially since I really enjoy canon interactions backing my ships, so it’s hard for me to actively like any that don’t really have that going for them. There’s plenty that I see around that I think are cute, but that’s usually the extent of my thought process for them.

For ships I more actively have, I guess I like AprilxSunita! They’re very very cute and I think they have some huge meet cute energy in their first episode together, and their chemistry is genuinely adorable (plus them being featured means more April screentime which is ALWAYS a good thing.)

I also think AprilxCasey (and when I say Casey I mean our OG girl) is really good, as I’m a sucker for enemies to lovers, and I think they have a lot in common and just bounce off each other very well (not to mention this ship in other iterations of TMNT has a loooooot going for it.)

Keeping the chain going, I think RaphxCasey (again, OG Casey) is also one with a tonnnnn of potential. They have a lot of common characteristics, and considering Raph’s whole thing with Franken-Foot, I really think there’s a lot of room there for a relationship to develop. Plus, like AprilxCasey, Raph and Casey tend to have a close relationship throughout the iterations of TMNT and it would be great to see that more with these two, even if not romantically.

Actually going back to enemies to lovers, I unironically think there’s a ton going for DonniexKendra. I know a lot of people hate this ship, but I don’t and I actually think it could very easily work whether in a love-hate way or a slow burn way. There’s a lot to like here and honestly they’re good together! Kendra is legit Donnie’s type too haha (cute, but mean.)

Lastly, SplinterxDraxum is good…when done right. I really like when people take it and don’t undermine the very real trauma that Splinter has gone through. As I’ve stated a lot, I love me some enemies to lovers, so I can see the potential here. Plus lbr Draxum was down BAD for Lou Jitsu when he first saw him haha.

I think that’s the extent to what I actively like? Everything else usually falls into “aw cute” or “ehhh not for me thanks”. And before you ask YES leosagi is cute and I’ll read fics with it if the premise is appealing, but I’m afraid I need some canon interactions to establish base character dynamics before I actively ship it alas.😔 Super cute though, no hate to it or any of the other CanonxCharacter-they’ve-never-met ships, I genuinely think people should just have fun! And for what it’s worth I really do wish we got a Usagi and Leo interaction in Rise like we have in other iterations.:(

So yeah. Overall, I have a few ships I enjoy, but I fall much more in the “prefer to keep everyone to themselves and make the focus family and friendship” category.

#non au ask #can you tell I’m an enemies to lovers person yet 💀 #I had a dream once that the Fox yokai working for big mama was a teenage employee and he and Leo had a cute thing going on does that count #(the bellhop guy we see often with Big Mama) #that dream had like all of big mama’s employees basically be her adopted children #including frida #(Big Mama’s assistant) #AND Gus #(the guard dog) #so like she was literally big MAMA lol #pretty interesting story tbh too bad it ended when I woke up and I forgot a good 70% of it #lol this is also enemies to lovers I just realized- #but yeah overall I’m mostly a friendship or family platonic dynamics person #pfft of the ones I listed only AprilxSunita was not enemies to lovers wait 😭 #nah but like I’m not really a big shipper tbh #I tend to fast forward through romance plots in shows that don’t focus on romance #and I tend to avoid romance genres in general most of the time #no hate at allll it’s just not typically for me y’know? #I was reallyyyyy scared to post this because people can get MEAN about ships 💀

The reason top 40's station is the usual music fare in Steve's car is that whenever he says his favourite band is Genesis everyone always thinks he means, like, 1980's, Phil Collins Genesis. He doesn't! He means late sixties early seventies Peter Gabriel Genesis.

So when he says "yeah pretty sure there's a genesis tape in the deck" and the passenger will think "okay I can listen to that, they've got some bops"(true) but they hit play and are forced to recon with 23minute long, semi-expirimental song about the apocalypse.

Anyways Steve likes rock music and I think specifically he gets into early progressive rock lol

The top 40 is just the safest option

#he points out how late 70s and 80s metal was influenced by prog rock and makes eddie cry #steve harrington #stranger things #finda's rambles #his king crimson stash isnt in the car he figures that a bit intense for most people haha #not dissing early genesis their work is just not as accessible as the later stuff #also we gotta quit acting like the top charts are trash music as though we dont think theyre mostly bangers

March 2004. Selina and Batman have a moment in CATWOMAN #27. I have mixed feelings about the Ed Brubaker run, but it frequently looks cool.

#comics #catwoman #ed brubaker #paul gulacy #jimmy palmiotti #laurie kronenberg #batman #bruce wayne #selina kyle #batcat #batromance #gulacy's grasp of anatomy remains as odd as it was in the '70s #but rather than trying to “fix” it in the inks #palmiotti plays it up as stylization #which is an interesting choice that mostly works #I feel like selina isn't *this* much shorter than bruce #but dramatic license and such

"Not like other girls" and "pick-me's" was a fun criticism about women who rejected feminism and had internalized misogyny

then the men get a hold of it and it became another way to make fun of women with different intrests.

#I like a lot of things that sometimes make me feel on the outside of women around me #but i love women and i love them being happy #Ill hype their nails #and if they are excited for a new harry styles song #go them #but the second I say I dont really know some pop artist's work some man has something to say #if i say i mostly listen to 70's and 80's im called a not lot other girls #if agree with a man that yeah #bruce spring is amazing #im a pick me #letting women enjoy things includes enjoying things that arent typical #feminism #not like other girls #pick me

The next chapter of SkullHacker, my cyberpunk shivrye AU, is finally out! You can check it out at the usual spot, over here.

#splatoon #it’s been so long since I’ve updated I hope the tone isn’t completely different from earlier chapters #I didn’t actually like. reread my fic first. #which I maybe should’ve done but also this has been mostly finished for forever so it’s fine #repeating to myself ‘doesn’t need to be perfect just needs to be done. doesn’t need to be—‘ #as I post it #anyway next chapter is sort of an intermission Marie chapter and is really short #but I’m gonna try and get the one after that slightly more done before I post it #though I might work on updating eels first #next eel chap is like 70% done maybe? I’m still trying to decide between a couple things #my writing #shivrye #utsufuu #everyone moving back to prlina except for me… #my city now

ocelot's full biography from the mgs4 database:

#mgs #metal gear solid #revolver ocelot #they didn't retcon his 'I fought wars in afghanistan mozambique eritrea and chad' by the time mgsv was released #those were all real conflicts #so I think for any gaps it's implied that he was involved with irl soviet military operations #you can probably use real world history to join the dots #he was in the gru for yeeeaaars #him meeting vulcan raven in siberia was never expanded upon but there's that too #was that the 90s idk but he was still in the gru then #post-ussr: ???? #the 90s is a bigger mystery than the 70s imo #he didn't join foxhound until bb died in 1999..... #was he still in the gru when he was working with eva #I guess he left the gru to join foxhound #ETCETERA we know everything from there #mostly #why did the database tell us his post-ussr file was false then not correct it </3 #LOL I bet I'm missing something really obvious #trying to make sense of retcons might also not be very clever idk #not enjoying my role as official ocelot biographer

fairfax in 70s clothes because i think seventeenth-century men would love flares and incredibly loud shirts and questionable woollen tank tops. i don't have a better explanation than that i am afraid

#artwork #fairfax #puritan swag. the parliamentarian drip #i'm still mid-exams (which is why i havent answered my asks yet i am so sorry dear friends) so this has been my stress relief activity #it has been very effective! would highly recommend drawing historical figures in flares :-D #and belted jumpers for some ungodly reason. i looked at many 'top ten worst 70s outfits' articles in the process of drawing these #i must confess though i would wear 100% of these outfits. especially the first two he is making it work so much #to be honest i dont know if fairfax would actually wear any of these in reality but the whole cavalier/roundhead fashion divide is mostly #fake anyway (they pretty much wore the same clothes for the most part) so i like to think he would. he was a swanky guy #ALSO theres that one extant buff coat he owned which i have posted many times before which had pink silk sleeves so i am choosing to #believe that he would wear all of these. thats my opinion as a historian #anyway! i hope you are all doing well my dear friends :-D i miss you all very much #i am so close to being Fwee now..........i only have two more exams and my final one is on the last day of term so i am Almost There #i am absolutely exhausted though. i have five five-hour exams writing three essays for each and they are about as agonising as they sound #but this time next week i will be done!!! and then i will have time to draw more 70s fairfaxes (my purpose in life) #until then though i will continue crawling across the ground making horrible moaning noises until my final two exams are out of the way #eeueuuu. eueuuuuuuhh. eeeeuuuu. like that

dnd sourcebooks: elves don’t sleep, and are immune to magical sleep and effects such as the 5th level spell dream. also, in many worlds, one of the two major elvish deities is the goddess of dreams.

me: well that’s fucking stupid, i’m gonna rule that the no sleep thing was something the elves made up to punk the dwarves.

#i know it's a thing grandfathered in all the way from tolkien ok i know #still doesn't make it make any sense #between shit like this and their insane lifespans elves are the bane of my existence worldbuildingways #you gotta sink something soooooo far back in ancient history just to get it out of living memory #it's like if you could meet a spry 70-80 year old who personally lived through the renaissance #and don't even get me started on the drow oh my fucking god #i do recognise that elves are Like This mostly because they were tolkien's specialest little lads #(sorry tall and wise and lovely and tall and cultured and tall lads) #and that even dnd elves are massively toned down from lotr elves in terms of general favouredbygodness #but still. jirt i love your work but i have Notes. #dnd

what’s important in marble hornets is that entry 23 has the classic scooby doo hallway doors gag

#i'm like. 70% sure that's the right number for what i'm thinking of lol we all know what i mean #marble hornets #managed to make a diagram of how that sequence works locationwise lol but i do not have it on hand #seeing as how said diagram was made like over a decade ago. or A decade ago at the least #mostly it'd be our guy leaving one door; going into another; coming out the same door like three times #not quite the same but he's still scooby dooing & that's what matters. that's a fact (reference)

l.s.d. by electric wizard has to be one of my songs of 2024 for the only 17 part. like well it's a kinda fucked up thing to explain but it's my life my psychological disaster

#incantations #not that i will be forcing myself into it idk i just like it a lot #i think a whole electric wizard album like that with that doom psychedelic vibe + tone would work so much with them #time to die is kinda like that? wizard bloody wizard kinda was that too... ig a combination of those two tones? #ttd is more on the doom side almost dopethrone ish but not really #wbw is lighter w slightly psych tone but also not really its their closest thing to an actually 70s sounding record not just 70s inspired #but on ttd you also have sadiowitch and funeral of your mind which feel like they could belong to wbw #i was mostly thinking of i am nothing #anyway. i guess we'll see #this post wasn't abt that LOL well whatever
