#literally what if it ran in the family

Belisarius Cawl, hiding for his life, his ass kicked, ship crashing, friends in mortal peril: I am such a smart boy, he-he-he =)

#I love him so much your honor #warhammer 40000 #adeptus mechanicus #belisarius cawl #genefather #guy haley #cawlposting #(kinda going to finish my thoughts on the book here since I ran out of space on the last post) #but a huge HUGE part of what I loved about this book were all the fun relationships and dynamics that it had set up #I literally want to see all of those characters again #Cawl and AsanethAyu? Absolutely. Not necessarily in a shipp-y way (Unless?) But god do I love seeing necrons bicker apparently #Cawl and Bile? Do my eyes deceive me or did Haley actually pull off 'we are not so different you and I' thing in a genuinely interesting wa #Cawl and Primus? What can I fucking say?! #Guy Haley should be awarded a prize for bringing back emotion and weight into what is surely one of the top 5 most overused words in 40k #Cawl and Qvo? Never before have I so thoroughly understood shippers of something that I don't personally ship. #I (barely) write a different type of fanfiction but somewhere in here there is a potential for the most wonderfully fucked up family #Primus and Porter? They did not talk but parallels between them were set up SO hard. This one is definitely not shippy for me #just so fucking charged with storytelling potential #All the minor guys? X99 whom I now love dearly? Oswen who was set up to be the traitor so hard and then just sort of wasn't? (Unless?!) #Skitarii Marshal named Iota?! Maybe later on that one #and that is to say absolutely nothing about the MASSIVE (eh? get it?) set up for the next big Cawl thing? #god so many threads to follow up on #Guy Haley you owe me like at least three follow-up books

guys i think the mechanisms just broke into my house????? (i was in the bathroom and from the other room i heard music start playing very loudly and it sounded familiar so i went out to see and i guess the alarm on my phone i set earlier went off but instead of playing the normal alarm sound it decided to play ragnarok iii: the calling at the loudest volume possible to the point it was just like resonating throughout the entire house. i do NOT have it set as my alarm noise ???? i have not even listened to it in a few days ???? i had no other tabs that it possibly could have came from open ????? IM SO CONFUSED?????? HOW DID THIS HAPPEN???????)

#the mechanisms #the mechs #the bifrost incident #tbi #I AM SO GOD DAMN CONFUSED ????? WHAT #ragnarok iii is literally my favorite song on tbi but that was literally terrifying 😭😭 #i literally RAN to turn it off because i didn’t want my family to hear it and be like ???? #but my grandma heard it and was like WHAT was that it sounded scary ? #was my phone just possessed by the spirit of yogsothoth ???

It’s lantern rite! A time for family! And putting people in potentially deeply traumatic situations because obviously everyone else knows how to handle your shit family situation better than you! Hey hoyo what the fuck

#lantern rite #genshin spoilers #I am. very angry. about this. which is silly because it’s. a video game. but fucking. seriously. #that’s deeply fucked up #’oh you just told us about how your dad nearly came to blows so you literally ran away and haven’t seen him since’ #‘obviously the answer here is to manipulate you into being forced to spend an entire day with the guy this is the best idea ever’ #no. no. noooooope. no #nlisehfnvliwhdfbv who wrote this turn on your location #listen. i KNOW. family and duty are Different In China. but also. what. the #FUCK.

i keep forgetting to make this post but i wanted to remind everyone that Kitty Softpaws is literally disabled

#like. in case people only watched the second movie so didn't get her background story in the first one #puss in boots #kitty softpaws #& just in case you have no idea what i'm talking about: she was declawed by her human family randomly one day #which is why she ran away & became an outlaw #& why her paws are so soft in the first place. she doesn't have claws #i know people hate to view disabled characters as disabled if they aren't literally wheelchair-bound & crying about it #so like. this is a post for those people #a cat without claws is one billion percent disabled & suffering from chronic pain CON STANT LY #like remember that every time she lands on all four paws that fucking hurts like a motherfucker

friends to himym to new girl are like. shows for each decade from the 90s to the 2010s that are literally just about people who are friends living life together. obviously himym has the "dad telling his kids the story of his life" but its really mostly just about the characters living life without a super big hook like scrubs, community, the office, or the good place

also super interesting to me that they really all ran for about a decade like friends was 1994-2004, himym picks up immediately after with 2005-2014 and new girl is 2011-2018. friends is pretty 90s most of the time, himym's in the middle but was mostly a 2000s show, and new girl is firmly a 2010s show

SOMETHING ELSE I REALIZED while writing this post was that they kind of show the shift between sitcoms with laugh tracks and sitcoms without ones. friends is pretty clowned on now for the laugh track but at least it's an actual live audience unlike the nickelodeon/ disney ones, himym was edited first and then shown to a studio audience but the laugh track is noticeably quieter than friends's track, and new girl is a single cam like most sitcoms now are

does seinfeld count as a show that's really just about people living their lives???? i haven't seen all of it but from the like 1.5 seasons ive seen i think it does???? and it started in 1989 up to like 1998 but that feels like a 90s thing to me

sorry for how long this is i was having Thoughts

#crunchyposts #sitcoms #im rambling i love sitcoms sorry i noticed this it was super interesting to me #wild how ive seen all of the examples i mentioned like they all ran for a While and i've seen a bunch not mentioned here #.....im gonna admit this now i've seen literally all of the big bang theory #i dont know why. i just watched all 12 seasons. and the first 2 of young sheldon. i just needed to finish it ig #also hot take the laugh tracks in friends and himym dont bother me #its fine if you dont like it but i really dont care that much #i do think the pacing of jokes is generally better without a laugh track though like abbott elementary's pace is so good #actually what sitcoms /have/ i seen. like in full #full house and b99 and superstore are a couple that come to mind #i guess also modern family and parks and rec #....... how many /shows/ have i seen

[motherfuckingmoth]

i just ran into a family friend and she hugged me like three times and told me how much she missed me and how beautiful i was and that i could always come to her and how i would always be family and yall i can not lie i wanted cry oughh i love her so much

#i have a really tiny family and dont have any aunts/uncles #so her calling me her niece?? OUGHH #also she kept using her trans kids name/pronouns #and used they/them for my cat when she didnt know what his gender was #and used mx. for one of my old teachers #that made me happy :] #oh and during this i also ran into the lady who worked at the front desk at my old elementary school #and she looked at me so wide eyed lol #i was feeling kinda shitty before this too #but the rest of the walk home i was literally grinning #:D

Do you consider any of the non protagonist yakuza girls well writen?

I think none of them had rights

#Thanks for the ask ! #like you have to actively like girls to notice them theyre inconsequential #also who is this why are you sewing discorse in my inbox #i spelled discourse wrong. my mom ordered the dog trainers to train ollie right now because he is insane and hes eating soo many treats #not because hes a good boy but because they are tossing that shit at him #they were literally almost there with yasuko #i thought her story was so fucking interesting ... #like its really not a fault of the girls they are all pretty good characters in their own right #like we have a variety of them too. we had miss tatsu who was out there turning guys inside out but she randomly had to go get kidnapped in #order to complete kiryus training arc. like how funny would it be for the whole thing to be staged and miss tatsus like Lol good job kiryu #for passing my test. oh this guy ? yeah he did get the better of me but i kicked the shit out of him then roped him into my schemes. dont #you think practical application is more effective than training ? anyway theres nothing more i can teach you but you can come train whenevr #we didnt even get an in game appearance for yuko but apparently she was a massive troll but too cute to get into any real trouble #mirei was. . . i literally said ‘are you kidding me’ when they revealed what happened to her like seriously ? is this real ? they did #that ? like literally she should have been living it up in cahoots with katsuya and being so sexy and divorced forever. she should have #faked her death because every single parentsl figure haruka had leaves her. and god haruka like honest to god i love that she just ran off #like that i thought it was so kiryu of her to be an absent father. but also my friends have all brought up very good points which is that #haruka should NOT have gone back to morning glory like she should have stayed in ono michi with her loser girlfriend whos a boyfriend with #her new extended family and only go back every now and then to see her siblings honestly i hated that .... like girl spread your wings .. #choose where you want to roost stop going back !! just get out !!!!!! its literally okay to tell the rest of your family ‘i dont wanna wipe #your asses forever i love you guys but im out of here’. and god i .. as much as i loved y0 makoto should have left her shitassed husband #girl had a whole ass baby with him ... find someone better im sorry ..!!! like whatever i know that thst was the ‘best’ option for her and #she deserves financial stability and a rich doctor husband but she also deserves crazy sex with a girl with one eye #i think what yumi did was awesome but like. actually i have no complaints about yumi. wait no i do. kazama was a shitass for marrying her #off to that politician because he couldnt stand having a woman in his house. im now thinking of that unecessarily hot doctor from y0 wtf was #her deal. and god the unnecessarily hot cho-han lady from y5.. oh wait ako had rights. she fell in love with kiryu at first sight then got #over him which is literally the best thing a girl could do for herself. PLUS she throws molotovs and is generally awesome #i cant remember any other girl. oh yeah god reina. .. reina .... god milky though .... i think she was fantastic and i want her badly. and #yayoi fucking disappeared after a certain point in time and ran off to another city with her baby daddy and sugared him to open a bar #well its not canon but im certain thats what happened because she literally went radio silence like girl where are you ....

[strqyr]

i have my fair share of crack theories, but...

'the girl who fell through the world' and 'the boy who fell from the sky'?

raven and qrow. that's why they have magic. they're not from remnant.

i will not elaborate further.

#that's a lie i will but i will do so in the tags #they lost their memories that's why they don't remember #qrow is literally the scarecrow #'losing his mind' 'no brain' -> memory go poof #and huginn and muninn are 'thought' and 'memory' #one meaning for 'higanbana' is 'lost memory' #and raven literally says in 'a perfect storm'; 'either i'm losing my memory or you've all lost your spine' #you could say she has lost her spine so maybe she lost her memory too #hard to say about the boy because not much is known about this story #but the girl (alyx) ran away from consequences of a choice (sounds like raven) #and when she finally made it back home she was sad because she wasn't the same girl anymore #yang could end up in the world where raven and qrow are originally from #(maybe she learns how to use her shapeshifting magic there because it's natural to that place and people living there) #and then raven and maybe qrow portal there #and it's sad because they don't remember anything and they're not like the kids the people (their family?) there remember either #they still recognize them but like. who hurt them #anyway #yes this is more fanfic than even a crack theory but like #i'm having fun and that's what matters #'kthxbye

[saltingsmells]

to be quite honest with everyone i just get happier and happier every year of life i live even when horrible or frustrating things happen simply because i have decided to be

#got brunch with family for my mom’s bday. went to an audio sale to get a receiver and ran into an acquaintance from hs and caught up for #literally 2 hours. my monsterhearts campaign plays tonight. a few years ago these all would’ve been neutral statements but instead i have #chosen to be really excited for them all and also enjoy myself. and u’ll never guess what happens next

[skeletalheartattack]

drud that’s a family video you can’t buy games from there

just watch me. i whip my wallet and pull out an original holographic charizard pokemon card. yeah buddy. one of these for one luigi's mansion please. and some pikmin 1 and 2 as sides. and a laarge soda.

#ask #anon #i know what a family video is #we had one here when i was growing up but it was called movie gallery #i use to rent a lot of games there as a kid. sometimes good. sometimes bad. #good being like. wario world. mario galaxy. twilight princess. #bad being shrek extra large. one of the ice age games. and likely others im forgetting. #i remember renting ty the tasmanian tiger but like. theres one segment from it that i thought was some other game #so like theres a level at night near a pond and a bridge in that game. right. #my memory of that level involved you playing as a frog with a tophat or something and i couldnt ever figure out what game it was #up until i watched a playthrough/speedrun of it. #i think that memory was lumped in with ''game demos'' in my brain #cause we had a demo disk in our house that had treasure planet and primal (the ps2 game with the woman and gargoyle) #but it also had... i think a turn based 3D rpg game demo??? i dont know what game it was and i cannot find what demo disk it was #especially since finding specific demo disks (on youtube no less) is incredibly difficult #the demo had you started on a trail in the middle of these green green fields #and i think you ran into someone from your village and you battled them? or something? #the only other thing i remember was going into a house and having a camera that was placed in one corner of the room. #i think my family threw away that disc or something. its literally nowhere to be found. #same with a n64 magazine we had that had floigan bros and banjo tooie cheat codes #i had looked at the floigan bros page a few times as a kid cause it looked really fucking weird. but i thought it was an obscure N64 title #i specifically remember hoygles anger box. and maybe their fucked up dog. #but yeah ik what video rental stores are. but that doesnt mean i cant not want to go to a place that does sell old games #im blasting you with shockwaves and dinking my laarge sofa #ignore that typo.

Every time my brain comes up with a story idea that doesn't involve me doing some serious mental gymnastics to get it to work I have no motivation to bother.

#personal #anyway i came up with a sixth? stranger things fic idea #it's going to be more hopper centric in a surprise! you have another kid kind of thing #and i love hopper i feel like his banter would be as easy as it is with writing eddie's #but the dang idea is too canon compliant so to speak #but also this character would be filling roles that several of the cast already does and thus seems kind of redundant #i mean hopper already has a found family/reluctant father sort of thing with eleven #but also the character was going to be the bard of the group which #we have eddie for that #but also have some connection to mkultra as their mother was one of those involved #but that's just eleven #also they'd get stuck as a baby sitter a lot but steve exists #idk i might draft up a scene to see how they get along with hopper and see what happens #the last time this happened it was a fallout 4 thing where the main was literally the Nuka Girl model who won a spot in a vault #and they pop up trying to use this newly healing world to get away from that old identity of themself #it was going to be a hancock/oc story #but my brain was like This makes too much sense #and ran with the isakai instead

I don’t know if my father was a good man in canon, but he was not a good man in my memories.

Edit: please excuse spelling mistakes it’s 2 am and I needed to get this off my chest.

#❤️red lancer #vent #not yan #do not interact unless partners /srs #My father was like the body’s mother only more charasmatic. #He loved what we did for him. Two little girls handing out papers with words we didn’t understand written by a man who was shunned by his #community because he had a different idea of how Christianity could look. #the weather didn’t matter to him. snow or rain or blazing sun my sister and I would stand and pass out papers to people walking along the #street. after he got excommunicated we started to starve so I started stealing food. #my wish helped create a cult. I only know now bc of what this body has experienced that that’s what my wish created. a cult. #even before I got here I still tried to rationalize his actions and explain it to the others like he was good. i tried to pretend he was #what I thought has was—a shepherd calling the flock back to the gates of heaven—when really he was another man using religion as an excuse #to be an utter asshole. I met Mami in that time period and when my father found out I was a puella magi he literally threw me out. #I ran to Mami and when I had calmed down I went back and found the church in flames with my family still inside it. Kyubey was watching the #fire and I begged him to save them. it simply looked at me and said ‘you are fortunate you were not there Sakura Kyouko’. #I don’t know how I managed to survive that night and not turn into a witch but somehow I made it through the next few years stealing and #scavanging but I did. And I made it to Mitikahara. I made it to Sayaka and Homura and Madoka. Sometimes Mami would be there as well. Or #Sayaka wouldn’t be there but that was rare. And now we’re here and my father is nothing but a bad memory.
