firefight animatic for my lovely friend @remedyturtles [Spoilers up until Chapter 9]

unfortunately the last chunk of frames are incomplete and will likely remain that way as i have hit a massive mental brick wall -- probably an ugly mix of depression and burnout -- but I wanted to share my vision, so I edited what I had

brienne and jaime are both just so gender. like you have one of the most beautiful knights in the realm, fair and golden-haired, who looks in the mirror and sees his twin sister, who has always done her bidding and centered his life around hers, who doesnt know who he is without her, and then you have the maid of tarth, the ugliest woman in westeros, who’s always been too big, too tall, too bulky, dreamed of being a knight while stifling dreams of being loved, being thought beautiful, who thinks her only good quality is her skill with a sword and even that has been an embarrassment to those around her, an oddity, something to laugh and jeer at. i just — it isnt even that they subvert stereotypes, its that they both allow each other to be nothing more or less than what they are, and everything that entails

#i read a fic once (cannot for the life of me remember the author) where jaime and cersei frequently switched places as kids #bc they looked so similar that not even tywin could tell the difference #and #yeah. #game of thrones #and like this is without even mentioning the honor thing they both have going on bc that makes me insane tbh #a song of ice and fire #braime #jaime lannister #brienne of tarth #jaime x brienne #mine #anyways u may ask why the Lesbian Arthur account keeps posting braime? this is why

I think we should just bring back Wungo Wednesday and start a fandom collective anime rewatch

#Because otherwise I can feel I won't last much longer #Because like. The last two hyperfixations of mine ended the moment I started feeling like there wasn't any new content #And two days ago in one day I started a new manga a new book and rewatching a favourite show #Whereas I hadn't started anything new in the two years ever since I got into bsd. Which makes it NOT a good sign #But the bsd anime has now ended for one month and 25 days and that's the last time the plot actually moved forward. #And if I counted right. The manga took 4 chapters (that is chapters 110-111) to adapt 6 minutes #That means it's going to take another 12 months (18 minutes left to adapt. that's 12 more chapters) to catch up with the anime #Yeah I'm not. sticking around this long with nothing new to see I'm sorry #Best case scenario I take a one year hiatus but that doesn't make it sound likely that I'll be back #And I know it's fresh news as early as this morning that author said they were introducing a new character but like. #They also said they finished writing this arc like. One year and half ago if I remember correctly? #And we still have yet to see the end of i t so... #That is to say. I'll probably be starting an anime rewatch starting next Wednesday. I've been meaning to do it for a while anyway #I don't want to leave the fandom I like the one chapter a month format #On the positive news I still have a queue of original posts that spans over ten months #And I was meaning to start the reblogs queue too in these days. So there's that #random rambles

[findafight]

Au idea I'll probably never write:

Steve as seven au, BUT he escapes at the same time as El in season 1. They get separated after Benny's, when seven tells eleven to run and definitely kills a couple government agents to give her more time.

So the a plot of will being missing and Mike finding El? Standard canon except El is ALSO looking for her brother and is worried about him. She sees that he's mostly safe and tries to help find will but also insists she go to her brother soon.

B plot of barb and Nancy...idk I haven't really thought about how that'd work without Steve's kickback. Maybe they go to a party (like actual party not the five person hangout) together and get separated and no one notices barb disappear from the edge of the lawn. Idk

The C plot is seven, kinda bloody and definitely cold, wandering out into the middle of the street, and one Robin Buckley almost running him over with her bike. She immediately clocks "guy who seems pretty fucked up" about him, and offers him a ride to her house. But Robin has never been the most coordinated of people and biking with a(admittedly probably too skinny) teenage boy sitting in her package rack is hard, and combine that with a guy driving like the devil's after him, they end up swerving of the road.

Eddie steps out, apologizes profusely, and offers them a ride. seven is sceptical, especially when both of them pause when he tells them his name, but does end up in the van. He finally gets a chance to breathe once they get to the Buckleys', and Robin gets him some leftovers.

He sits in front of the tv set to a blank station, tucks his head into his shirt instead of blindfolds, and tries to see El.

He sees her older, with flowers braided through long hair, laughing. Too far. He sees her with short curls, a patterned button down, eating something in a cone beside a mustachioed man. Too far again. He sees her tiny, scared, holding his own small hand. Not far enough.

Finally, finally, he sees her as she knows her now, mostly, standing beside a group of children and in front of a monster in a large room.

Eddie and Robin have no idea why their new friend? Has turned the tv on to static and is hiding in his shirt, but figure he's had a rough day. He pops his head back out, blood dripping from his nose, and grins, telling them he knows where his sister will be.

Anyways blah blah blah El sees where people ARE Steve sees where people have been/will be (based on where/who they are right now. Futura is constantly in motion etc).

Idk season 2 would happen very similar as canon minus stancy break up (they never date and are just friends) (also Steve tells Robin and Eddie he and El are safe and they pass it on to the kids) El finds Kali, Steve fights demodogs, etc etc.

But I want a (pre?) season 3 scene where Robin and Steve are hanging out as soulmates do, door closed because they are discussing Sensitive Subjects (gay shit) and giggling like schoolgirls. Hopper, in all his disappointed dad glory, opens the door and starts in on a rant about keeping the door open three inches.

Steve, bitch that he is, just tilts his head to the side and says "but that is for when we are with people we date. I am not dating Robin."

Hopper, not yet picking up what's happening, sighs. "Kid. It's about propriety. You can't be alone with Robin, because what if you do start dating. Then it's. You have to set an example for El!"(it would be a nice move bringing up Older Brother Responsibility, except...well.)

"but we aren't. I am dating someone else?"

"still need the door open three inches, pal. When El is home, at least"(El is almost always home)

"we do! And you complain about the loud music!"

"wait. Who are you dating? I thought Nancy was dating Jonathan still. She barely comes over." Hopper please pick up what Steve is putting down oh my god.

(hop has forgotten Robin is there and she is trying very hard not to make noise but Steve keeps meeting her eye sometimes because dear god. truly an iconic moment in friendship history.)

"yeah obviously. Eddie comes over all the time, though."

"what does Ed- oooh. Ah. I see. That's why you keep the door open even though he complains."

Steve nods like Hopper is the dumbest man on the planet. He might just be. "Yes. Because you said El had to and she asked why I didn't have to so then I started to leave it open when Eddie was over. At least Eddie doesn't laugh at you to your face"

"Eddie laughs behind my back?"

"he said you didn't know we were dating but I told him of course you knew, the door is open three inches."

Hopper clasps Steve's shoulders and looks him in the eye. "Steve, I need you to keep telling him that. And not mention this very awkward conversation we had."

"because he was right."

"he doesn't need to know that."

That's all I got lmao (also check the tag ramble I added lol)

I keep seeing white book reviewers complain about how Babel is so very in your face and obvious about its rage at colonialism as if they would not twist the meaning of the book to fit into their convenient little worldview and find a way to say 'ok.. BUT' if it were NOT so clearly and explicitly laid out I'm sorry but it's true.

#white people have SUCH a history of taking stories that are clearly by POC talking about their own experiences as POC #and twisting it so that it becomes a problem that they too can relate too. a problem that they also face #blatantly ignoring the intended message simply because it doesn't appeal to their incredibly narrow worldview #like death of the author exists but #there's a difference bw death of the authors and blatant and malicious murder of the author #especially when the work speaks so loudly for itself even distanced from the author #which is why I'm GLAD Babel decided NOT to be subtle or vague #anyway yeah #babel #babel rf kuang #babel or the necessity of violence #babel an arcane history #rf kuang

I'm so bad at actually remembering to recommend fics I like, but I was just reminded of "You And Me Were Built for Violence" and I wanted to take a moment and recommend it to folks if they haven't had a chance to take a look at it yet! It's a Fuga Impossivel + 2b2t crossover fic where Tazercraft are washed up on 2b2t shortly after their escape from Alcatraz and are found by none other than FitMC. It's got some great Fit/Pac content and some really good Tazercraft content. 10/10 fic! There's only two chapters so far, but they're both very satisfying and well written.

#i talk #fic recs #qsmp talk #I've got a ton of fics I need to recommend ahhhhhhhhh #I'm so burnt out I used to be so good at leaving giant paragraphs of comments on people's fics and making giant lists of fanfic recs #:( #ah well #anyways the author is on tumblr @ wsdanon if you'd like to follow them! #they just posted a bit about the fic and I was like OH YEAH I haven't recommended that yet #I'm sure most people in the Hideduo community have read it by now but if you haven't. you should #I like that Pac AND Mike were both stranded #I know a lot of people focus on ''what if Pac was stranded on 2b2t???'' but no. Tazercraft are a package. Do not separate them and all that #pftt #very well written Tazercraft (and Fit too ofc) #speaking of Fit - I'm taking some notes from his Egg event VOD because there are a lot of interesting tidbits in there #and I think folks will enjoy it as much as I am

Can we as a fandom collectively move on from writing Scrooge’s accent out in dialogue? Like the “ye” thing? Please. Please. Please. Please Please Please PLEASE—

#context I’m Scottish lol #and this was so common in the dt fandom #that I started doing it #EVEN THO HE HAS MY ACCENT AHDBDHD ?? #anyways so yeah it makes his dialogue awkward to read #for ppl who aren’t America/from wherever the author is from #bc for example here a ‘normal’ speaking voice IS scrooges accent #so seeing ‘yee’ all the time is rlly weird if that makes sense?? #in general I think accents are better described out of dialogue #not in them #this is my biggest pet peeve in writing ever I think lol #goes for all accents imo not just Scottish ones! #ofc if you disagree that’s okay! write however you like this is all /lh! #but yeah this is my opinion and I’ve not seen anyone else say anything abt it and I wanted to LOL #Ducktales #Ducktales 2017 #Scrooge mcduck #textpost #maybe I’ll expand on this later with examples

[dizzybevvie]

No bc Warrior Cats genuinely couldve done something with Starclan and generational trauma and romanticising "old times" and the warrior code because Starclan arent deities theyre just dead people but instead we get another 6 books of Will They/Wont They with a TigerStar clone

#Warrior Cats posting on a saturday afternoon #To clarify i havent read anything past PO3 but i do follow most of the plots n discussions n stuff bc i think its fun #Ive only read The first 3 arcs + Firestar's quest + Tallstar's Revenge <3 #also crookedstars promise but i have no memory of anything that happened in it #i read the first like half of the first book of oots and just COULDNT get through it #BUT ANYWAY. THEY SET UP SO MANY THINGS #AND THEY COULD ADDRESS THE SEXISM (although thats a problem with the authors not just the characters) AND THE CONSTANT ABLISM OF SHOVING- #ALL THE DISABLED CHARACTERS INTO THE MEDICINE DEN #We all like Jayfeather. But did he need to be a medicine cat #and if the answer is yes. Did Cinderpelt also need to be a medicine cat #And idk whats going on with Briarlight but my understanding is she just stays in the medden??? #YEAH #and they couldve talked about Skyclan too #Beverly says stuff #warrior cats #warriors

[ode-to-fury]

I know this is not on brand for me but I cannot believe there are people who are surprised that cc3 was not good??? Have you read sarah’s other books??? She’s not a good writer???

#like yeah i read it but just so i could back up my hate for her with facts #and i actually think cc is better suited to her writing style than the other series #so yikes #and they’re quoting things from the other books being like ‘i cant believe this is the same author’ #i can those other quotes aren’t good either bitch pick up a pratchett book #anyway mini tag rant over #anti sjm #anti cc3 #anti acotar

[alarrylarrie]

I think that article is actually incredibly interesting- if you only read Louis’ quotes. I’d throw the bit about Simon out in the trash, but that’s clearly a non-disparage clause ad infinitum talking, not Louis himself.

He couches what he says about Harry- in my opinion, tries to defend him while treading VERY lightly, because he has to, of course. He says, about his Grammy’s speech: “we all came from humble beginnings” basically explaining what Harry meant. Then, in talking about Harry’s fame- he says “we all knew Harry fit that mold” which doesn’t cast any dispersions on Harry, it’s actually a lot closer to ‘Harry was born to do this and was set up from practically day one to do this’ - and that’s not untrue, is it?

It’s the author who puts all the malice into that article. Louis’ quotes, themselves, seem like everything I’d expect him to be able to, (and willing) to say.

#also I just freaking love how authors try SO HARD to pit them against each other #it’s more of the ‘oh they’re so impossibly different so they couldn’t be together’ #they are gagging for the Justin/*NSYNC narrative #and it just.. #ain’t happening lol #also I love Louis being like #yeah you’re not getting crap about Harry out of me lady #he my husband #and as for his success- well- joint bank account baby #also it’s not like Louis is not successful?? #but we’ve talked about that at length #ANYWAY #SOME PEOPLE - that author #can stay mad and choke about the boys not hating each other

[wayward-sherlock]

do you have any fic recs? thank you!

HELLO ANON I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO ANSWERING THIS ASK SINCE I GOT IT (im going to assume you mean byler fics since that is my most recent specialty🫶):

a cruel summer with you by the amazing @campbyler is by FAR one of my all time favorite fics. never in my entire four year fic reading career have i read something that obviously has so much love (and lore) put into it. if you haven’t read it already (or interacted with their blog, which i highly suggest!) this would be one of my first picks! (anything by suni or thea or andi is guaranteed to strike you speechless, though, so definitely check them out as authors, too!)

take a little moment (find the right words) by my lovely friend @astrobei is definitely also in my top all time bc i am SUCH a sucker for college aus it’s not even FUNNY. anything by suni is a banger, honestly, but this one specifically nails the miscommunication/idiots in love trope AND has rotund ducks. what is not to love.

a body in motion (also by @astrobei) is one of the best and most visceral mike character studies i have ever read. i’ve read it twice and the playlist has a permanent place in my spotify library. i don’t think i need to say any more.

sleeping with the lights on by singingseok is another mike character study that tore my heart from my chest and made me watch as it picked it apart and sewed it back together. okay. it’s SO good i highly recommend it for sure!

literally anything by @parkitaco is going to be fantastic, but three of my personal faves are the gaps and the silence, the windows of this love, and you were bigger than the whole sky because apparently i love sobbing into my pillow in the middle of the night. it’s healthy sometimes.

the strawberries are dying by my favorite doopel @lighthouseas is PERFECT if you’re looking for a unique take on byler with a historical spin <3 im a SUCKER for historical aus as well so this great depression fic was so incredibly perfect hehe

landslide by chamb3rs is. it’s so good i don’t even have words. it captures the spirit of senior year of high school so well, especially now that i’m in it lol. anyway, i’ve read this one twice and will continue to read it again for the rest of forever <3

and lastly, if you’re looking for spiderman aus (which i LOVE), look before you leap by lumism, the higher i climb, the farther i fall by @andiwriteordie, and mike wheeler’s guide to falling in love with a superhero by @smoosnoom are all wonderful perfect places to start 💗

i hope this gives you a good place to start anon :3 and also that im not overwhelming you. lol. but feel free to check out my bookmark page here for a more complete list of fics i’ve read!

#there are so many more great authors and fics out there btw. i just felt like this was already ridiculously long. #im realizing now what a suni astrobi fangirl i am. and im not sorry. #ANYWAYS i only recently started making my bookmarks public since i was so Scared before #so i will be updating it when i have time w more little comments so you can get a better idea of things to read! #also if i tagged you when you didn’t want to be tagged i sincerely apologize </3 #pov you’re a nerd and have so much to say about what fics you’ve read and you also love your friends and their works and - #yeah. okay. this is making me love the byler community a lot again. maybe i WILL start that side blog for fic rec fridays #BASICALLY I HAVE A LOT TO SAY i’ll shut up now 💗 #🫧🪴 #asks #💌 #anon !! #wayli’s fic recs

[familyofpaladins]

I did the meme thing with my most recent blorbos to form the most ridiculous set lol (Leonardo from TMNT and Jess Harper from Laramie (1959))

It's very funny to me because both of them have killed/willing to kill, but it's the 15 year old turtle who would probably be the one to admit first that they're gonna have to kill someone instead of the 26 year old ex-gunfighter

Bonus of the kinds of fics I've been reading lately

pissed off their red-coded brother/friend who wants them to stop their self-sacrificial bullshit

#what makes it even funnier (to me) is that raph and jess are more similar in attitude . and most likely to start brawls and fights #with leo and slim being the stern 'follow the rules' level headed 'calm' ones #but yeah leo and jess are the ones who would throw away their life or happiness if it meant the people they care about stayed safe #so they are my favs and get to be memed :) #larmaie obsession revived after finding out that my fav author on ffn was still writing i just hHADN'T BEEN GETTING ANY EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS #THANKS FOR THAT FF.NET >:( #anyway #to those who regularly follow me. if i've vagued about a character in the last month. i've probably been referring to jess #memes #meme redraw #what are we calling this meme? #steven universe meme #we're going to have to kill this guy meme #tmnt #tmnt 2003 #03 leo #03 leonardo #03 raph #laramie #laramie (1959) #jess harper #slim sherman #famofpaladins draws #(i tagged 2003 tmnt. but really it's any tmnt honestly)
