[lunarmoves]

in the aftermath of the pizzaplex's fire and your acquisition of a new roommate, you had yet to grow accustomed to a little... quirk of theirs that you hadn't expected to arise: their need to be in the same room as you all the time.

which wouldn't be a problem in itself if it wasn't literally every. single. room. in your apartment.

"sun!" you snapped as you heard the telltale sound of your bathroom door creaking open over the pattering stream of your shower. you were pretty sure you'd locked it. "come on, again?! what did i say about privacy?"

you could see his silhouette emerge through your curtain, tall and slender. a huff escaped your lips as you peeked around its edge to see him standing in the fluorescent lighting of your bathroom. his hands were clasped together in front of his chest and his eyes immediately latched onto your face with a little twitch.

there was a small pause as you frowned at him. then he spoke with a mild inflection to his voice. "you were taking too long."

"sun," you said, exasperation thickly lining your words, "i was in here for barely five minutes."

his rays spun slightly to the left, eyes creasing as he squinted at you. "that's five minutes too long!"

you had to resist the urge to drag a hand down your face. sun only watched you, something ephemeral passing over his faceplate that you couldn't quite catch. you sighed and ducked back behind the curtain. "fine! stay there while i finish, please."

you knew from past experience that he wouldn't leave no matter how much you threatened him, so—utterly resigned as you were—you let him hang around as you sped through the rest of your shower. his shadow swayed side to side idly, gaze no doubtfully still latched onto the little gap where your curtain stretched desperately to reach the wall. you kept an eye on it just in case.

with a squeak of the faucet, you turned off the shower and squeezed out some of the water from your hair. then you reached out to grab your towel hanging from a hook just beyond the curtain, pulling it quickly towards you so you could pat yourself dry and wrap it around your body.

and with reluctance lining your fingers, you dragged the curtain to the side and blinked up at sun standing closer than before—hands twisting themselves together.

he grinned down at you, head bowed forwards. a white pupil stared down at you against a backdrop of indecipherable grey. "done?"

"yes," you huffed and reached out a damp hand to push against his chassis. he moved to the side with your ministrations as you stepped out of the bath and made to grab the clothes you'd set on the sink's counter. before you could, though, sun reached out a large hand and swept the bundle into his grasp.

you gave him the stink eye, but he only spun his rays eagerly at you. "allow me, friend!"

"fine, fine." you rolled your eyes and exited the bathroom, not bothering with the lights since sun would flick them off as he followed. you beelined straight for your room, your lithe sun-shaped shadow sticking closely behind you.

"just dump those in the hamper." you waved towards said hamper as you walked over to your dresser to start pulling out your pajamas.

"can do!" sun saluted and made his way over to it to toss your clothes inside. the bells attached to his wrists gave a little jingle as he did so.

you picked out a large shirt and tossed a glance at sun over your shoulder, where he stood in the middle of your room and watched you with those blank eyes of his. "remember what i told you, bud? give me literally two minutes to change."

sun swayed on his feet a little, a sort of unwillingness sticking to his wired frame. "but—"

"sun," you said in a way that left no room for argument. you pinned him with a serious look and pointed to the ajar door. "out."

like something straight out of a kid's cartoon, sun slumped forward, arms hanging loosely in front of him like a puppet cut from its strings. you had to suppress an eye roll at his theatrics. "heartbreak be my downfall in the end! oh woe is me!" you followed after him with a snort as he sighed loudly and turned slowly around to trudge out your room. "does love not sway your actions against me—"

"yeah, yeah," you interrupted him once he'd passed over the threshold of your bedroom and turned around to give you as much of a puppy-eyed look as he could for a seven foot robot. "two minutes, man."

before he could distract you again with some dramatic tirade, you shut the door in his face and locked it. for certain, this time. you eyed the knob, then trudged deeper into your room to go through your nightly routine. a glance at your door showed a shadow lingering just outside of it and you huffed quietly.

hair was dried, lotion was applied to your skin. you tugged your undergarments and pants over your legs before grabbing onto your shirt. and just as you were about to tug it on, you heard a faint click.

your gaze immediately snapped over to your bedroom door, and you had just enough time to throw your shirt on before a familiar face poked through the gap. rays spun impishly at you as you placed your hands on your hips and glared at the perpetrator. "dude, seriously?"

"two minutes were up!" sun replied defensively and stepped further into your bedroom. his grin was stretched wide over his face, gaze firmly cemented onto your own.

you pinched at the bridge of your nose. "sun. you really need to give me more privacy. i have boundaries and you need to respect them, okay? both of you." lord knew moon wasn't any better.

sun cocked his head at you, the quiet of your room disrupted only by a quiet whirr that came from his chassis. and there it was again—that look that glossed over his face too quickly for you to decipher properly. you shifted uncomfortably, damp hair sticking to the back of your neck.

"privacy," he mused quietly to himself. then, after the drop of a beat "we do not understand it."

"we have had this conversation before, i'm sure." you sighed with all the exhaustion of someone who had too much to deal with too soon.

"yes," he agreed easily, approaching your form closer until he stood mere feet away. a chill settled around you, accentuated by the way sun watched you attentively. "we still do not understand."

you opened your mouth to go through your usual spiel, but before you could, sun bent forward so that his face was level with your own. your jaw clicked shut as you were forced to stare into pinprick pupils threatening to drag you under.

"we do not understand," sun whispered, and the change was so stark that your heart stuttered in your chest. "we have given you all that we are and more," he mulled in a clipped manner, inscrutable. "bared ourselves to you. bent backwards at your every call and whim." his gaze pierced through you in an unyielding strike.

you pursed your lips together, something cold settling itself in your chest. "i didn't—"

but he cut across you before you could finish, his eyes widening in an intense stare that you had a difficult time uncovering where this was all coming from. his smile grew taut like a string about to snap.

"it is only fair you return the favor, friend."

I need a t-shirt and a button pin that says “I was there for the earlier days of the Jellystone! fandom”

#those earlier days being 2021… man. how time flies. #I’m looking back at my first tumblr account (@thebigdingle) and there’s some accounts that were apart of the fandom that are now deactivate #I lowkey miss some of my mutuals I had in that fandom. #Funny enough I’m still in contact with one (just one) of those mutuals from the jellystone fandom! #(if you’re reading this said mutual- hiya :33!!) #I’ve been so… nostalgic for those times lately. Mostly since I found out that this show came back for a new season. #It kickstarted something back within me. It reminded me of simpler times even though I was kinda losing my mind at that time lol. #☆ (it’s time to make history!) #jellystone! #jellystone

“Oh, this? An unfortunate run-in with a Luxray when I was a boy! It makes me look quite rugged, don’t you think? Of course, a pretty face is good for business!”

#so Ik that if you really angle the camera #you CAN see that Volo’s model has 2 eyes #but b/c we never intentionally see the covered eye in-game or in his concept art I lowkey HC it's missing #(or otherwise visually significant? magicla/corrupted/possessed could be cool) #given his comments abt pain and heartbreak I also think it’s a safe assumption that he has some scars #I hope the lil flavor text sounds okay/adds context too!! #I almost left it out/always feel iffy abt my char voice but I think it needs it #and maybe this is too woobish lmao but I also like the idea that scars are more common in Hisui? #alt you could read it as a ploy for sympathy/manipulation #(man I'm used to being cringe in the t/ts fandom but I feel so 🧍🤡 posting pkmn art LMFAO) #(I'm a simple fan ok I have simple needs) #volo #pokemon volo #pokemon legends arceus #pla #my art #pokemon #cw injury #cw scars

I wanna write something for bk’s birthday but I’m stuck

#bakudeku #bkdk #bakugou katsuki #bnha #I’ll make more polls after this one #tbh I’m lowkey slipping out of this fandom #but I’ll be damned if I miss my grandchildren’s birthdays

[vani-candy]

everyone's been drawing wedding art of their OCs and their chosen bachelor/ettes so i decided to hop on that bandwagon too!!! this is extremely self-indulgent oc x canon of Fang and my builder OC Mitty, hope you enjoy HEHEHEHE

#My Time at Sandrock #mtas fang #mtas oc #mtas builder #oc x canon #purely self indulgent #twitter's on fire rn so i decided i should probably post here again HHHAHAHAHAHA #i actually lowkey miss posting on tumblr #it was nice back in the day horrifying fandom/communities aside

[specshroom]

This is how it feels to revisit the Haikyuu fandom in 2024.

#i really admire the people who are still making content #but it feels so dead :'( #i lowkey miss 2020 era fandom #it was cringe but fun #WE WERE FREE #haikyuu anime #haikyuu!! #haikyuu

[boyquiet]

i wish more people drew transfem klavier gavin

#lowkey it’s 10 times easier being a transfem kaz fan in mgs fandom than it was being a transfem klavier fan in aa #and only one of these characters is remotely feminine in canon and it’s not kaz #I haven’t checked the tag or anything in a long time if theres any good transfem klav pls send it my way i miss her #ace attorney fans when you have a hc that isn’t within the 10 universally accepted hcs

[scorpioaqua]

i can’t believe that if i want more bbrae fanfic i have to write it. that’s soooo fkd up

#i lowkey miss when this fandom was more acrive #active* #but i also don’t bc people were insane lmao #anyway maybe i’ll write this week? #bbrae

[matsunoart]

Fan of aphmau?

YES! Or rather I was. I used to be a huge fan. I watched her ever since the beach ep of MCD (Original). I honestly would love to rewrite the entire story one day (I already have ideas) but I don’t know if I have the motivation 😅

I do have a really old drawing of me with some of the characters a few years ago though!

#aphmau #aphmau fanart #aphmau fandom #aphmau garroth #aphmau laurance #aphmau zane #aphmau dante #aphmau art #I miss aphmau old content but lowkey don’t cause it was really bad #fanart

[gravityrulez]

sometimes it feels so very weird to me that v/oltron only ran from 2016 to 2018 and still cost me at least 10 years my life. maybe 20

#chi talks #how did they even write 8 seasons in 2 years #oh right VERY BADLY #ngl I lowkey miss keitor tho #keitor fans I love you you were not part of the worst fandom experience ever!

Omg this is the first time I get this dialogue from him afshdiejjd

Look at him, he looks so sad man 😭✋🏻 He deserves to be able to play catch with Alex

#Ik people lowkey hate him for being homophobic or whatever (idk man i'm not THAT deep into this fandom) #But i actually like George. He's nice to me (in his grumpy way) and yeah he made that comment about two guys getting married BUT #He does adds that maybe he's just too old to understand. Which is normal. That wasn't happening in his time is anormal for him to see two #Guys getting married. The important thing is that he's lowkey accepting despite not fully understanding it #He's trying #However I might have missed some dialogs and that's why I don't hate him looool #Anyway don't mind me just crying over granpa wanting to be there for his grandson #sdv george #stardew valley george #Sdv #Stardew valley

okay, maybe i’m late to the party but we’re learning about shakespeare in theater right now and of course, one of his famous plays is in dead poets society!! specifically, A Midsummer Night’s dream.. and one of the quotes from that play is, “The course of true love never did run smooth.” and i just want to bring attention to how that is literally todd and neil. like. their whole story. their whole entire just existence. i couldn’t get them off my mind for the rest of the class period. i love them sm.

trick or treat!! >:]

a gift... here is the outline for the danny phantom/young justice crossover fic i will probably never write <3

The Ghost Getters are AWARE that the Justice League exists - why else would they be so into the superhero thing? But they don’t really leave their town (outside of Reality Trip) so it isn’t really a huge deal and they don’t stay super on top of JL News Cloning as point of Contention (?) GG’s discover A Thing that… leads them to leave Amity Park and potentially enlist help from JL. Approach JL as regular human children. Jl is………. Not helpful. They don’t believe Amity Park exists! Danny follows J’onn or someone en Route to YJ secret base… sneaks in expecting to find something JL related - finds YJ!!!! Nearly gets the shit beaten out of him lol thank god for ghost powers What is The Thing? Does it involve Vlad n Lex being buddies? Maybe!What if redeem Vlad?

#shadowmint #doughritoanswers #my writing #i miss danny phantom but the crossover fandom lowkey concerns me so im like staying in my own corner

[citylighten]

on that note: legend of korra was the first big fandom i was here for on tumblr. so when i think about custom themes, i’m not thinking of superwholock (which i saw emerge with my very eyes) i’m recalling all these avatar-centric themes. 😂

#i cant say that i miss that era tho bc people were lowkey snobs #it took me 90 yrs to find friends on tumblr #but like the creativity and passion from that time was very cute [for the avatar fandom i aint speakin on nothing else]
