What if I straight up didn't explain myself? What if I just said trust me on this? Would you?

#fe warriors three hopes #mercedes von martritz #miklan anschutz gautier #we really only need to clarify this is STRICTLY warriors miklan and i think ive already condemned myself but i accept it #i am very sorry but the person i usually would talk to about rare pairs has been a bit busy so i couldnt go to them to get it out that way #so art is the only way i have you have to understand its not my fault (its my fault) #did you guys know i reset the azure gleam map three times before googling the chapter where he dies to try and save him #no i dont think he deserves to be pardoned for what hes done but i liked that w3h gave him a small chance to be better FOR HIMSELF #no i dont think he should simply be forgiven for everything he did but i do like that he was given humanity and how #he was still not a good guy but damn you guys i think about that npc sometimes #who says that they admired him becoming something despite being a criminal bc if miklan can do it whats stopping them from being better ? #like that npc stuck with me a while ok #just ......... there are a lot of thoughts here that i dont think many of you care to read even in tags so ill stop now #i will say the canvas is saved as speed run to cancellation lesgo

i just want to say that these two have been on my mind literally all of january. the thought of the debauchery they would indulge in. bobby and his pretty boygirlfriend. using him as a decoy in robberies, his cute lil thing an easy distraction while he takes what he needs, allowing them both to easily slip away. getting to show off his pretty baby in clubs, having a sweet little thing as his passenger princess during long drives through the dessert. a doll for him to dress up and have hanging off his arm wherever they go. anyway <3

#my friend and i have coined the pairing name psychostalker bc of these respective roles how we feelin about that #im gonna tag brainrot ab this au under: #psychostalker brainrot #i'm so glad all of us are equally deranged and frothing over feminizing both felix and ollie lmfao #it's what they deserve. but i think these two characters together/bobby with any of barry's old fem characters is just on another level #the possibilities are endless and i will speak my truth no more pussy shit #bestie and i have literally written whole au ideas with these two #it's the strongest brainworm i've had in months #i can't get them out but idk if it's too niche to write a proper fic about #cattonquick #saltburn #felix x oliver #he went that way #bobby falls #quick-catton brainrot

Just had the sleep-deprived idea of combining my Cryptid Batfam Au with @phoenixcatch7 's Possessed Doll Au into a combo au, some distant timeline where the two combine and meld into one thing.

Honestly would be slightly body horror probably, maybe with Bruce starting with building wings and then it... escalates. There's a reason that people don't go down in the caves under Gotham, and Bruce is incredibly lucky that It welcomes him. Perhaps welcomes him too much, what with it seeming to build him another body each time he gets injured, even if it's just bruising. Not to mention that another is forming when he takes Dick in, and then another when Barbara joins them.

There's something not quite the same the first time he wakes up in a body that is his but not, something organic but not. Testing on it is fine, small tests that is, anything larger and his head starts to pound and ring. It's easier to just accept the shadows' gifts than question it.

Honestly I like to think the body is something between inorganic and organic, like veins of flesh and fur wrapped around bones and metal. Like a flesh puppet of sorts, starts all skeletal and mostly metal and wood but the veins of black and red start to grow over time as the whispers about the Bat spread.

Honestly I also like to think it's more animalistic than the original possessed doll au, the wood easily mistaken for things like chitin, especially with the segmentations. Combine the chest cavity with the harness that the kids cling to, and you have a back cavity lol. The 'Spine' seemingly splitting open to hide things inside. Bruce probably does have clothing for the body, but I wanted to figure out the general body first lol.

#remind me to elaborate later #what's out there au #possessed doll au #possessed puppet au #batman au #cryptid batman #cryptid batfam #The Caves: look at this tiny child that fell in and is so scared <3 #The Caves when Bruce is an adult: Aw look he's being scary now how adorable <3 #The Caves: The baby is adorable and has adopted another baby to be terrifying together <3<3 #The Caves: They deserve a gift for trying so hard <3<3<3 #Bruce just building wings: #The Caves: *Gasp* We should give him a pair in both forms for being such a good little guardian #Bruce waking up in the second body the first time: #Bruce: #Bruce: ALFREEEED #The kids think it's awesome (especially since they're growing up around it) #Well if it's more of the Genesis timeline where they all start as kids varying from like 5 to 12 when they join the family lol #Damian probably looks/feels Off even in human form if he was made via stolen blood #He's already something between the two bodies but was too human for the League's wants since the puppet bodies were gifts from the Caves #They don't like their shit getting stolen lol and Bruce is their favorite child who brought them even *more* children #Honestly It might decide to alter their human bodies too at some point #I mean in the base cryptidverse au the fam already made Jarro a mech suit for a civilian ID and vigilante work lol #Tumblr don't eat my tags challenge #If it's alright with Phoenix of course lol #No idea what to call this Au but if u have any ideas I am open lol

You know what? Go fuck yourself, NRS. Just go fuck yourself. This is the first time you say directly that Bi Han had a relationship with someone and it's not Sareena, damn it. Is she some kind of joke for you?!

We fucking refuse to take it seriously. Many were waiting for the development of these relations, but they received a Nitara. Seriously? This relationship has no prerequisites at all. And the couple that had been asking for all thirty years remained forgotten.

Sareena and Bi Han deserved better than this game gave. These two have been through too much shit already, and MK1 is burying them even deeper.

Upd: Perhaps forced alliance/unreliable allies were meant in this phrase. We really hope so! Because you can expect anything from NRS!

But the version with the fact that this is just a designation of a forced alliance of opponents makes us feel better.

Hell bent and heaven sent are a tragic love story. Who literally cannot see it? Whouffaldi is not only Canon but it's a parallel to so many of the great gothic romance films of the 80s and 90s.

Yep! idk some people are in denial.

Like obviously it's fine if you just want to see it as platonic and are cool about it. But I'm always blindsided by the goofy comments on youtube videos etc. where they act like the very idea there could be romance there is an insane suggestion. Where they condescend to shippers as if we're delusional for seeing what's there. I'm sorry, if you're going to be confrontational and smugly wrong at the same time, I'm going to point out that you're wrong.

#whouffaldi #the other flavour #which is laughing about how they're 'so beyond' romance really grinds my gears as well #romance isn't lesser or inherently unserious or whatever else #and the whole 'kissing would cheapen their connection' attitude about romantic pairings is often coming from a place of sexism just saying #because romance is women's fiction and therefore to elevate something we're saying it's /not/ that #I don't think you need to show kissing to show romance clearly #but saying it would cheapen the characters' bond if they did is some bullshit #kissing would not have made them any more canon than they already are but I'd love to have it #mostly just because we deserved it and were owed it etc etc #but also so I could just post the gif when people are being idiots #they wouldn't stop (eg reylo where we have the gif and yet the moronic hot takes continue) but it would be satisfying #and sometimes I'm petty like that

Little Harry Kim really asks Janeway if she’s ever been in love when he stands behind her and Chakotay standing inches apart and whispering to each other on the bridge all day every day

#not to mention holding hands #personal space? WE DON’T KNOW HER #practically always touching the pair of them #baby boy I love you so much but sometimes you talk before you think and it shows #be as obtuse as you want Harry but their chemistry is palpable #then Janeway is all like you mean my fiancé Mark right? #it’s ‘is this an early hover car?’ all over again #poor Harold #I personally like that JC isn’t canon but their mutual infatuation is undeniable #like she deserves everything and he’s just chakotay #lol forever #star trek voyager #the disease

WARNING: OPINIONS BELOW

not to bring up old amd major fandom discourse but...

okay so watching the atla live action drove me back into my 2010 zutara era, and reading all that zutara fanfic made me think of klance (the other blue/red ship we should have had) so i was reading klance fic which made me realize i forgot most of the show and made me want to rewatch the show and im about to finish season 2 again and guys??? omg????

ok i was a klance girly thru and thru like everyone else but in the early seasons like 1 and 2 (and i realize what i'm about to say is blasphemous but bear with me) allura and keith had HELLA chemistry. like they had bonding moments and had like...a lot of deep talks and skinship (like the ep where they thought they were being tracked by zarkon, or the ep where allura gets over some of her galra hatred for keith's sake, etc etc) and were honestly more compelling than allura and lance or allura and shiro. maybe it's because i'm no longer a child/i'm looking at it through a more critical lens but the dynamics are totally different than what i remember in the early seasons.

OBVIOUSLY IT'S MEANT PLATONICALLY IN THE SHOW but the chemistry is real platonically or romantically. and for fandom that ships anything with a pulse, this ship really should have been more popular.

i think ppl were just so obsessed with wanting gay characters or characters with specific sexualities that they glossed over characters that had real chemistry. and only sticking to the skinny characters was whack. lance had hella chemistry with hunk and but i think y'all are too fatphobic to properly appreciate him. i blame the show for making hunk the least fleshed out of the main characters. hunk is more than comic relief!

also? y'all butchered my boy keith in fanon. he's got way more personality in the real show than in fanon, which like i understand that usually fanon characters have less personality but the difference is wild. canon keith is not nearly as withdrawn or moody as he is in fanon, he's just kind of a grumpy guy who knows what he wants and is incredibly determined to get it. he's not as emo or depressed (or repressed) as fanon makes him either

for the record, i'm still klance for LIFE but omg have a little fun sometimes. bi keith supremacy.

also, unrelated and completely off-topic sidenote, stop writing spanish into your fics if you can't speak it. i can't speak it even i can tell yall on some gringo shit. use italics or <brackets> like they do in comic books and webtoons. way less cringe.

#tell me how blasphemous is this post scale from 1-10 #klance #voltron #voltron legendary defender #i'm telling you we deserved one (1) kiss involving keith #could've been allura or lance idc #ALSO I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT IF YOU HATE ZUTARA OR KLANCE #IDGAF #FANDOM IS MEANT FOR FUN AND I LIKE MY PURPLE PAIRINGS #oh the yinyang of it all #anyways i still wont watch season 8 #no siree i value myself

I feel like "Thasmin" & "Destiel" should form their own subcategory in terms of queerbait. You know, the one where they make an lgbt+ technically cannon a few episodes before to the finale in order to bait shipper's/lgbt+ folks into watching said finale, only to do NOTHING with said lgbt+ ship and make no reference to the ship ever being a thing.

#destiel #thasmin #supernatural #i don't even ship these ship's #i feel bad for their fans though #seriously #you deserved better #though thasmin stans i implore you #please get better standards when it comes to seekibg out rep #dont accept the shitty breadcrumbs that chibnall gave you #you guys deserved a “i could save the earth but loose you” #or a dalek saying “what use are emotions if you will not save the woman you love?” moment #don't accept table scraps #straight pairings don't have to #so why should we?

[variousqueerthings]

also interesting because I just watched a video doing a rundown on the history of queerness in doctor who, which naturally had a lot dedicated to aro and/or ace reads of the doctor, which at one point discussed that ofc reading the alien character specifically as such can be alienating (not... that as an aroace person my own reads would be attempting to alienate... myself... although also here insert other discussion about how the aliens often are just the blank slate upon which non-normative behaviours are placed, so it makes sense to see the neurodivergent/disabled/queer/otherwise othered body reflected from them, while also understanding that this means the world views you as inherently alien, while also being like "sure, yeah, I always have done," while also knowing that's dehumanisation, while also...)

but, when it's consciously done, when does this alien being (whatever narrative we're looking at) resonate through the lens of xyz because we're interested in how social structures built Not on today's earth human constructs could end up in wildly interesting different spaces in which what is non-normative to us is presented as normative to them (thus making an argument of stop being such freaks against trans kids, for example), and also when do we read those characters as incongruent with their own societies (I think also here of star trek's the outcast and rejoined, which blend queerness as we recognise it in our societies with characters who break alien normative structures as expressions of an alien queerness, and then there's ofc left hand of darkness in which gender-and-sexuality is at the centre of the political narrative and it's queer on multiple in-universe and out-of-universe levels)

for example, the doctor isn't really an outsider timelord if we look at them through the lens of genderbending regeneration -- that's normalised in that society in canon, and the interesting thing there is usually how that interacts with human social constructs and politics of gender and as a scifi way of deconstructing and dissembling real life consturcts... but they are clearly an outsider in terms of many other things they do, for example seeming neurodivergent if looked at through a human lens and a timelord lens

so where do aromantic and asexual reads fit in there?

well to start with aro!doctor -- I am into the science-fiction ability to create societies with completely different expressions of "connection" that eschew simple human monogamous ideas and histories, but if we were to take that second lens as well of "what if the doctor is aromantic as an identity and not simply as an alien," the doctor continuously (with the exception of romana and the master) creates deep connections with beings that don't have a particularly long lifespan/aren't timelords, especially considering they're near-immortal. and with romana and the master there seems to be a different set of rules happening there than anything one might describe as uncomplicatedly romantic, bitter exes vibe of the doctor/the master acknowledged

the doctor interests me from the lens of "aromantic as non-normative/queer from the pov from both our and timelord society" because they seem to continuously struggle with people not accepting the connections that they're offering them. the doctor's way of having a relationship is often not "enough", isn't easy to describe/vague, and people get jealous or angry or feel betrayed for reasons that isn't the doctor's fault, because there simply seems to be a lack of language to properly describe it in easy digestible terms

that is... a very aromantic experience

and then sometimes the doctor will just have little non-romantic connections that work, like donna -- and, despite not being my favourite seasons, the bits where the doctor simply lives with/drops in on the ponds is very sweet. and the tardis of course. am a "doctor-and-the-tardis are a matching pair and one without the other is wrong, but it's not romantic" person at heart, beyond anything else

(I am interested in how this will play once my rewatch gets me back to 13 and I can watch until the end, because I know yaz confesses that she's in love with the doctor near the end, and the doctor has an interesting reaction from what I understand)

(I guess at this point asexuality is another post)

but yeah. I think I'm not saying anything new with regards to the writing of aliens (and android and otherwise non-human characters), in that obviously one would like to imagine some interest in exploring these forms of non-normativity outside of "well that's an alien" (she's an alien and he's gay) but also there's reasons we're all so into aliens

genderbending genderfluid regenerating aliens is all well and good, but it only becomes really interesting in this case when we see trans/non-binary/genderfluid/genderbending humans (as is coming up soon! and I hope we see many more actors of the trans and gender non-conforming persuasion on this show!) similarly -- while I do think we have had more than a taste (donna my heart and soul honestly) of that non-alloromantic queerplatonic vibes doctor-companion dynamic -- I'd be fascinated in what a consciously aro (and maybe ace also) companion opposite the doctor would be like, how that would restructure their relationship with the doctor, compared to others who had expectations that the doctor couldn't ever hope to fulfill, like rose, martha (although they did let down martha in many ways that had nothing to do with romance), amy, possibly yaz, (here the confession that I never did get much of what was going on with clara but maybe this watch will clarify for me), possibly sarah-jane, possibly river song although she seems to have just kind of gone with it I guess, possibly romana... heck, possibly the master (I guess possibly that american woman from the movie, I forget her name... I cannot remember rn if other companions ever expressed an interest like that in them, but if so, then them too)

also I just want to rub moffat's face in it if I'm being honest. writing snide commentary about what was described as "asexual" doctor pre-nu!who, in a way that very much encompassed aroness (because romance-and-sex has so often been and still is put under one header), and totally misunderstanding why fans were into it or why it's interesting, and then being obsessed ever since with his weird little crusade of making doctor who "sexier" and alloromantic and imo utterly failing, despite it all

#dw #aroace doctor #doctor who #im rewatching doctor who #aro doctor #anti moffat #can you tell all my posts are gonna be this? #because they very much are #interested in how that'll play out in s3 when we have the triple whammy of martha jack AND the master #all being like 'notice meeeeeeeeee 🥺🥺🥺' #oh martha my sweet beloved you deserved so much #in some ways i feel like her tragedy is the doylist perspective #it's INTERESTING that she joined the army for sure #but then it's kind of just... and then that (by the specials) and pair the spares with mickey #that's also the rip when it comes to mickey for sure #but with martha it's SO much more #i also didnt mention bill in this i know it's platonic but i need to rewatch to remember the Dynamic

I think it's really likely phee and jin happened bc they were both rebounding from non and maybe they caught feelings maybe they didn't maybe phee is feeling guilty for that but like to ME regardless of how bad they feel abt it they're fucking on non's dead body and I'm petty enough to put away critical thinking and appreciating the nuances of media to wish them a very die

#dff the series #dead friend forever #I GET IT I GET IT ik what yall r saying yes them as a pair can b interesting asf and if i wasnt a non girlie id be all over it but god #my nonnie deserves better #this is just the final nail in the coffin like #this is nons 13th (20th) reason #imagine going through all of THAT and then ur ex bf is fucking the guy who filmed u getting raped and dragged u back into a group #that was abusing u constantly when u were abt to leave it #like #yall r built different i simply cant hack it #i cant compartmentalise and not be disgusted of the non of it all in order to enjoy them #like there will always be 3 of u in that relationship and we all know it #i can't force myself to not be disgusted by them and it's required to feel any reaction besides auto recoil to the thought of them together #ur relationship is paved with sins and corpses how can u be together and have peace knowing every moment will be haunted by it #i dont wanna see them forgive themselves and eachother and be together bc its SO UNFAIR TO NON #and i simply cant get over that if i wanted hard reality i wouldnt b watching a gay slasher its just so unsatisfying #its unsatisfying to end it like thst with no justice for the victim #yes theres a compelling story there abt that dynamic between them but this isnt the show to explore kt #theyve put too much emphasis on the victim to go there #i understand the sentiment but a story like that doesnt go like this. this isnt the way u write a story like that & explore those themes #like the majority of the audience isnt wanting that theyre rooting for non BECAUSE of the way its been set up & written #the past and the actions against non r the focus not phee and jin dealing w the aftermath in the present
