#that aged weirdly

[cemeterything]

a lot of stories will take a so-called "golden age" period and go "hey it wasn't actually that good, in fact it kind of sucked for basically everyone but a few guys who benefitted from exploiting the rest" and i can respect that because i love a good exposure of the bones the system is built on, but the thing is i also kind of want more stories where it really was that good and just as horrifying for it. empires bursting at the seams with opulence, where gold really does run as freely as blood in the gem-encrusted streets. warriors clad in shining armour, with weapons so bright and sharp they hurt to look at. every day is overflowing with possibility, every night a party where people gorge themselves sick on sheer excess and still return for more. even the poorest man in the region lives in comparative luxury to his poverty-stricken peers elsewhere. and none of it is sustainable. it's collapsing under its own weight and the rot eating at its heart, its bottomless hunger barely kept at bay. it's a society that isn't built to last or be outlived.

#🐉 #weirdly enough the hobbit kinda hinted at this with the dwarf kingdom of erebor #but we didnt reslly get to see that ugly overripe rotting *waste* that comes with an age of seemingly endless prosperity

The reporters are going wild. Another Wayne child! Another one! And he just walked right past the gala his father just went into!

They swarm the kid, asking over and over how it feels to be Bruce Wayne's love child, and finding out he has a whole second life full of money awaiting him!

Danny , dressed in a very expensive suit and successfully distracted from running away from Vlad (again),was very confused at first, then decided.

Hey.

Let's fuck around.

"Oh, what? No, I'm Bruce Wayne, and I'm far too young to have a child. What's that weird rectangle you keep putting in my face? Where am I? Why does everything look so different?"

#dpxdc #dcxdp #dp x dc #dc x dp #phanfic #story prompt #danny is a bruce doppleganger #he looks just like bruce did at that age #but he's not actually related to him in any way #and he has no idea bruce is batman #and he has weirdly accurate knowledge of gotham at the time that bruce was a teen #(thanks clockwork for that one mission that one time)

I'm half asleep when I get up from my bed, and sit down next to my ten-year-old self.

"You're an adult. You're not like me." They say.

"I'm still you." I reply with a sadness I wasn't prepared for. "I'm still just like you."

"No," they insist, "you're an authority. An other. Something I don't understand. I don't see myself in you."

"But I see myself in you." I'm desperate, and I don't know why.

"How?"

"You know about infinity, right?" I already know the answer, but I ask anyway.

"Yeah." They look up at me from the scribbles of Pokemon in a math notebook, from the stuffed animals arranged in a town made of blankets. I don't see the life in them anymore, but I remember what it was like to.

"The universe is infinite."

I pick up a stuffed animal. I still have this one, it now sits on a shelf untouched for years. The fabric is still just as soft, just as loved.

"So adults might know more." I say with conviction, surprised it's my own. "But we all carry the same amount of unknowing. We're all just as lost."

My ten-year-old eyes stare at me. I stare back.

"Why is this important to you?" They ask.

"I don't know." I answer truthfully.

"Maybe I'm just still scared of being left behind."

Vox died in the 50s and Valentino died in the 70s. We don't know how old they were or when exactly during their decades that they died but its possible that their lives briefly overlapped.

Anyway, consider tiny baby Val watching the TV while growing up in the 50s and being absolutely glued to the screen because he was blind ass 6 year old and wanted to be able to see his fav newscaster's face(Vox)

#vox hypothetically could've listened to al's radio show when they were alive #anyway im really into val having terrible eyesight in life and being 2 inches away from the tv at all times #its important for me that val is younger then angel #canonically thats true cuz angel died in 1947 so he was in hell longer #but angel was like in his early 30s when he died #so i think val should be like weirdly young #like 25-28 #up and coming gangster dies at age baby and becomes a sick moth #something something vox is a craddle robber #i think vox and val would have to be from the same area for this idea to work?? #im rlly into florida man val but now that im thinking about it florida man vox is also great #anyway #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel valentino #hazbin hotel vox #voxval #staticmoth

sometimes i get the very strong urge to write a comes back ??? fic for bakugou but the more i think about it, the more i realize how emotionally taxing and honestly horrifying it would be.

you and bakugou spend a few years in that weird will-they-won't-they stage before you officially start seeing each other seriously, and then it takes some time to adjust to having a pro-hero for a partner — so it's not always easy. until the time goes by and you have a break up scare or two and things finally level out, and you figure out how to talk to each other and you fall into the beautifully warm comfort of just being together, in love.

and then he fucking dies. in a heart-explodey, blind-in-one-eye kind of way.

the two years that follow are just — time passing, like pages in a chapter you can't understand the words to. you know grief in a way you never could have comprehended before, you wonder what it's all for and how you'll go on. you're angry at him for sacrificing his stupid life and angry at the world for taking him from you, but you're so deeply, down to your bones, heartbroken over losing him.

and you're not the only one; more than any of his friends that you see, deku is the one who is there for you the most. calls you daily and pulls you out of bed, makes sure you eat because he knows that's what kacchan would want. lovingly flings out a few gruff insults that make you laugh until you're both crying in your kitchen. it means something, maybe, that you both can just mourn in the presence of one another, without judgement or care.

your relationship gets a little — dependent. not romantic, at least not for you, but it's like you need the other person for the bits of bakugou they hold that you don't. the memories and the laughs and the bad times as well as the good. the secrets katsuki would never tell you, and the tenderness izuku was never shown.

it never gets easier. every day is just another day. if you think about it for too long, it all comes crumbling down. you're almost having to disassociate through your life just to make it, and that's hard when the whole city mourns him, too. but you do it. every single day, even on the worst of them.

izuku calls you a little more than two years after, in the middle of the night.

sounding way too awake and out of breathe, though you don't think that's necessarily out of the ordinary, considering his profession. he's a very hyper-fixation kind of guy; you can only imagine what hobby he's picked up and also mastered in the last 48 hours.

he asks if he can come pick you up from your apartment because he "needs to show you something important" and you agree, even if it doesn't feel like it usually does, when the nights are long and you both need someone to talk to. this feels — urgent. a bit worrisome.

you don't know where he takes you, but he's quiet the whole way there. in an old sweater, hair mussed, bags under his eyes like he really hasn't slept in the last 48 hours.

("stupid flighty fucker," katsuki would say, sometimes, when the weight of the world was weighing too heavily on the number one hero's shoulders, and even if he would huff and puff and grit his teeth, you'd notice him checking his phone more often than usual. taking every phone call that came without hesitation.)

you almost want to tell izuku that, in the car, because that's what you do, that's how you've kept him alive between the two of you; kacchan would make a point to tell you that's not how generators work, in the shitty horror film you and deku go see, that kacchan wouldn't dare sit through.

("no, he would," you argue, solemn as the lights in the theater warm back to life, as it empties. "he would."

and after a long, heavy beat, izuku would agree. "yeah. he would.")

izuku brings you somewhere that's too clinical to be as quiet and as dark as it is: inside, the walls and floors are sterile with anti-septic but the lights are off, in every hallway. the only visibility comes from a small lamp that's in a lobby of sorts, and there is a small handful of people you don't know, at all, already there. waiting.

you say his name in a small, concerned question, and when he takes both his hands in yours, they're warm and too wide and sweaty. his eyes glow, but in a way you don't recognize. everything he says to you is — gibberish, a mish-mash of worry and half-sentences and all the warning bells are going off in your head.

"y-you can't freak out, okay? you have to—i can explain all this when...when the time is right."

"you said that you would give anything to have kacchan back, remember? you said—you would do anything."

"i know this sounds—i know how this sounds, okay? but nothing is impossible!"

"i just need you to trust me."

and up until now, you had no reason not to. but you're not sure when he slept last, or even when he ate last, or why he's muttering things about his quirk, how he and katsuki are connected somehow, in ways he's not able to explain.

or why you can faintly hear the steady beeping of a heart monitor just beyond the only closer door in this wing of the hospital.

#not me actually crying while writing this lmaooo #deku is ✨ delulu ✨ enough for the both of us kahfkaha #no bc the thing is that he comes back and it's the age old question of. what have we done. #but at what *cost* #in my anime world logic for this deku does something something with all for one to bring him back — along with other unspecified stuff — an #bakugou comes back with deku's memories of the last two years 👀 #and he can FEEL how miserable deku was without him 🥺 how bad deku felt for YOU 🥺 #how weirdly close the two of you got 🤔 #does he come back wrong ????? or does bringing him back make YOU wrong ??? 🥺 #okay bye for real for real we've been driving all day bye bye #✿ willow writes #✿ thoughts: bakugou

for better or worse, the wicked movie has forced ariana grande back into her own race and is punishing her by giving her a blonde hair color incompatibly the exact same value as her skin tone.

#honestly we should have gotten a wicked movie years ago #and now it's gonna feel weirdly aged??? #and i just feel likeee ariana was a weird choice but what do i know #girl should have gone lighter or darker with that blonde tho #wicked #oops i've been watching trixie and katya all day while i con crunch and it's making me catty :T

OLD WOMAN YURI BRACKET ROUND 1

Propaganda:

Red/Blue:

a love story of two time travelers on opposite sides of a war who leave love letters to each other over millennia. their time traveling shenanigans intertwine their very long-lived lives in unexpected ways

Arcee/Aileron:

Almost all Transformers seen in the comics are at least a few hundred years old and Arcee is one of the oldest, having existed in ancient times in Transformers history. These two are the first Transformers to share a romantic 'on-screen/page' kiss and they're lesbians!

Arcee is old as fuck and known to most casual fans as "the girl one" so I think it's vv powerful of John Barber to make her a lesbian. Aileron I know less about but she's extremely tired and has beef with optimus. Both are several million years old

#these ones are both couples that age weirdly but are like 1 billion years old so i think they count #round 1 #polls #gay elders tourney #this is how you lose the time war #red #blue #arcee #aileron #transformers #tournament poll

quick little thing of the main characters of my flatland/gravity falls fic in the style of my old flatland short film, since i was thinking about it

#flatland #gravity falls #flatland: a romance of many dimensions #bill cipher #andrew kryptos #realizing this is the first time most of you have seen my flatland ocs! #Clementine Playfair (the abnormal line) is bill’s coworker and the equilateral (Chuck Voynich) is bill’s boss #Clem’s dad Teddy is the iscosceles and her boyfriend Gus Sebald is the Polygon #(yes the practically Irreggular daughter of a disabled isosceles is being courted by a Polygon it’s all very scandalous) #gus is very sweet tho. only nice polygon oc I have he’s very much the black sheep of his family #anyway andy has no friends his age other than bill and spends most of his time loitering where bill works #so he’s also friends with everyone here #probably should have drawn bill and Andy’s parents but their families both suck so I didn’t want to #also thought about drawing my main regular line oc but… I haven’t introduced her yet so #style is a little different mostly because nobody had legs in my old film but ah well. they look better with legs and clothes #and clothes are actually weirdly important to my fic if you've read it

Gosh I was at a writers meet up today and we were talking about TV shows when someone brought up Stargate SG1 (BC my friend has just started watching it with her daughter) and I had to sit on my hands and gently correct all the things they got wrong, pretending like I'm very normal about the show

#my poor friends would say something and i be like “actually Jack O'Neill was in the film and the tv show no he didkt die in the movie” #though they kept refering to people like 'Kurt Russels character' and 'Jame Spaders character' #though they were riggt when they said some bits havent aged well #to which i did ask if she had found a copy of the pilot without full frontal nudity in ut #my friend: “oh yeah we started watcching sg1” #me: *a gasp so loud that the table looks at me weirdly* #im rambling but i had to try very hard to be normal about it in front of people and this is the blog where i dont have to be normal about it

Sampo and Seele look kind of similar, especially their clothing

So I like to think that when Sampo came to Jarilo-VI the first person he saw was Seele and he just rolled with it.

#wow people here sure dress weirdly considering the weather #o well #gotta fit in ig #and then Seele is the only one who dresses like that #also I am aware of his lc and that it probably isn’t on Jarilo-VI #<- so like please don’t take this too seriously #but then again the Belobog ages are giant incoherent mess so like who knows �� #hsr #honkai star rail #sampo koski #seele hsr

some ideas from an au where maglor just keeps living in britain (/himring?)

especially in the earlier eras he had to put a lot more effort into styling/dyeing his hair to cover his ears & the blueness/Elf Sparkle. he also wore glasses for a while to dim the Treelight Eyes (because even as badly faded as he is, it's still really obvious with how old he is).

#silm #silmarillion #maglor #seventh age stuff #<- adjacent au #weirdly modern maglor feels the closest to maglor-maglor? #but he also looks like a lawyer in a tv show for some reason? #like edwardian maglor's outfit is pretty similar structure wise (high collar/waistcoat/long coat) but the hat & hairstyle really affect it? #but modern maglor has roughly the same silhouette with the jacket and definitely the most freedom with the ear and hairstyle #early 1900s maglor has a sort of beard thing to not look too young but it looks weird on him i think #it probably wouldnt look as out of place if his hair was shorter but he needs to cover his ears somehow #honestly merovingian maglor looks pretty maglor-y the hairstyle is just not blue enough #the front curly bits on baroque maglor are very maglor-y despite being even less blue #...huh i guess maglor is just 80% Hair #the rest is just fancy clothes; sad harp; and depression #baroque maglor did turn out really well though #maybe because maglor-maglor already borrows a lot from the baroque composer style outfit wise? like he is for unknown reasons #the only YT-FoA elf with a waistcoat i think #through all of this he has remained mysteriously wealthy #(probably because he knows where all the treasuries are in himring)
