#their only competition is their parents

[acowardinmordor]

There is a fic in the hobbit fandom where Bilbo has a Gift and he can take someone's injury from them. Aka. They scrape open their shin, he holds onto them a sec, and they're completely fine, but his leg is now bleeding. Direct transfer. This came about because that fandom really enjoys killing Bilbo in myriad horrifying ways.

So I was thinking about ST fandom, and how much we love to see Steve be insecure and self sacrificing. And If I'd watched the show maybe I'd have the details to do it right and talk about him taking head trauma from Lucas in 2, and undoing the damage to Robin before she wakes up and knows about it, but I don't know much more than that.

So just consider Dustin begging Steve to help Eddie after the bats. Dustin, who knows that Steve doesn't heal the injury, he takes it on. Dustin who would never ever ask for this if he was thinking straight. But Dustin is hysterical, and Steve is desperate, so he tries, and he succeeds. Steve sort of falls sideways after its done. For a second, Dustin is too focused on the color coming back to Eddie's face, and the way his eyes are focusing again to notice.

#ficlet #my writing #if you ever want premium MCD fic #Hobbit fandom baby #we killed folks in the most disturbing ways #like it was a competition #anyway If Steve had this and knew about it as a kid #but his parents thought he was a freak #so he never used them #then only used for things like taking away a gf's cramps #then the UD starts #and he has people he will gladly carry pain for

doing character creation for the new dnd campaign i’m joining and as always i am trying Very Hard to not have my character be a sad orphan looking for vengeance and yet….

#my previous character for a oneshot was a halfling sailor who had 13 siblings and lovely parents #i fear my tiefling fighter will have all the cliche tiefling angst #but alas #i am too obsessed with optimising and the rest of the party are a bard a cleric and a druid #so the only other stabby is a barbarian #and u need stabby people #im too competitive and it shows lol

i can't believe id written all this convoluted Lore for my infamous mc only for it to be made canon that mc has two married slightly distant parents. like. sorry no she doesn't 🫶

#JDJSJSJ im kidding. its fine if both her parents are still alive. but she did NOT live w them as a teenager. #wait i havent posted about belle at all have i. shes my country music girlie 🫶 #she was a teen mom and when she got pregnant her Canon Parents kicked her out #and she lived with her grandad and he helped her raise her baby. seven is not the father but hes the only person on earth who knows who is #anyway within like a month of their breakup both granpa and kiddo died. very dramatic car accident idk. semi ran a red light. #and belle went through like. the worst two years of her life. completely off the deep end. music + the band was the only thing she had #and the tear between still definitely being in love w sev teehee. but also relying on orion as a steadfast influence #that keeps her grounded + on the straight and narrow. ya dig. #i had the scene imagined in my head like. reported prods her too harshly about her kid and she just looks like a kicked puppy #and its a competition to see who can threaten to punch that reporter first JDJDJDJS everything else spun out from there #carly.txt #carly's ocs #oc: belle

my parents being fucking weird has ruined so many of the activities queers typically salivate over

#my mom and dad used to go axe throwing with my aunt and uncle once a week #my uncle built a forge out of cinder blocks in my backyard and we moved it with us after for like ten years #my dad forged for a long time #even like. making and serving alcohol or some shit. my dad is an alcoholic who used to make his own mead #cottagecore ass lesbians?? my mom was an apothecary and my dad has always had a garden #dark academia ass gay people? my parents get into ethical debates to pass the time when they're in line in stores #art or singing or dancing? my mom was a theatre major her first time through college. we do that here #my mom used to customize jeans for her friends free of charge bc she could just draw on them to stim during long conversations #my siblings and i split up roles in musicals before we start them bc of my mom #dancing is about my grandparents but anyway they were competitive line dancers and that's not the only dance they did #everybody in my family has adhd and/or autism and there are no safe interests in this house #and my siblings would probably say the same thing about shit that i've hyperfixated on in the past that they cannot look at bc i #talked about it too much. i know enough about literature to make any normal person fall asleep. i have a borderline encyclopedic knowledge #of big cats. i literally read a series of encyclopedias as a child because i wanted to have a base knowledge of most things #how was i not diagnosed !!!!!! how did no one diagnose me !!!!!!! #and it's bc everybody in my family thought it was normal for me to read at a collegiate level in first grade. please be so for real rn #this turned into talking about my family's autism but isn't that what it was always about lmao #mer rambles

Thinking about them again (stex human au in which the main characters are a bunch of teens in the early 1980s and they start a roller skating club)

#starlight express #stex #stex au #starlight express au #Rusty is just a guy who goes to church on Sunday and has a crush on a pretty girl in his class #Greaseball has a massive group of friends but only three of them actually go to the same high-school #Both Electras existing and being this sibling pair who were adopted by a rich family but they really hate their lives bc their parents- #-aren't queer friendly and so is like half the town #and they have to keep their identities secret until they go to Rusty’s high-school and find out that there are other queer kids who are in- #-a roller skating club but half of the other kids aren't even aware they're queer bc internalization #they go to skating rinks and they eat at like frosty freeze or some shit on Saturdays #the roller club going to their local restaurant after a competition like theatre kids go to IHOP after a show #Rusty may or may not have a little crush on GB or Electra I haven't decided yet

i also have thoughts about sassy + rebecca's childhood. sassy jokes that when she was nora's age, she'd climb up to rebecca's room...while drunk. and rebecca said yes, she did. 13 year old sassy getting drunk and leaving her house to come to rebecca's....just thinking. in an original version of mrga, it said sassy is a retired olympic swimmer. the idea of her having all these insane expectations pushed onto her, needing to be the best, and sassy crumbling a bit under all the pressure, finding reliance in rebecca and also alcohol at such an early age,,,,,,,,,,,,,

#i love seeing comedic side characters and going. well actually- #also her INTENSE level of insecurities which caused her to bully rebecca at first + make a joke against keeley #very competitive swimmer who had to be the best and (skinniest) and most athletic. i bet her parent was her coach #not to disney channel ''it's not my dream dad it's yours'' to sassy collins but #AND HER EX???? REPEATEDLY FLIRTED / CHEATED ON HER??? TOO???? #like we only get a mention about how her ex informed rebecca about the divorce AFTER hitting on her #and sassy was like. what else is new. #sassy collins defender btw

explain to me why windows just added an ai chatbot TO MY TASKBAR, in place of my NOTIFICATION VIEW BUTTON which they just straight up removed.

#I AM GOING TO KILL AND MURDER #every single established tech company is in competition to make their product as miserable to use as possible. #microsoft and apple especially are in a neck-and-neck race to the bottom. #i figured out how to disable it immediately #(which fun fact you cannot do from within the app - you have to go to your taskbar settings and turn it off which only hides it) #(this means your tech-illiterate parents and grandparents are unlikely to be able to figure out how to turn it off at all) #(it is almost impossible to remove from the system entirely - i checked) #but jesus christ why would you even put it there to begin with #why are you doing this to my beautiful laptop #whose idea was this. i just wanna talk.

“The park dads are just the gay background dads trope”… to YOU!!! I understand them completely though.

#out of any episode we could’ve got I would have LOVED an episode focusing on willows relationship with them. there’s so much to be explored #there #like Harvey being an abominations student from an extremely competitive school who decides to enrol willow in the abominations track despite #her struggles with it. #I also wonder how they would have felt about the whole amity situation. as willows only friend during that part of her life (that we saw at #least). they definitely would’ve picked up on certain things about her and her parents #so when amity suddenly turns her back on willow… I have no doubt they’d suspect there’s other forces at play there #I don’t know I just. eeeerrrgrhhjdhdhd park dads. I need to write that fic I keep saying I’ll write bc they’re so under-utilised it makes me #sad :( #the owl house #Gilbert park #Harvey park #this isn’t meant to dismiss criticism against the parks being the only mlm rep in the show I just really wanted to dump my rant somewhere #willow rotates in my brain 24/7 and thus they do as well

finishing frieren feels like having withdrawals

#and the leaf falleth down the tree #i'm exploding with stress cus my captain just texted us saying we have internal competition on thursday and friday #and my only friend (in our weapon group at least) isn't there #gonna be there* #so i'll suffer for two days straight??? #either way i intend to skip. im done with this really #i don't want to end my year on an anxiety-filled note #what are my parents gonna do if they find out anyway #idc cus whatever punishment they give can't be worse than club itself #anyway i finished this show too early... sigh... could've used it to distract myself

Remembering how I wanted to cosplay Baucis and Philemon for high school Latin Day and my friend from class didn't go so we couldn't

#instead I took like 10 standardized tests for fun that day and I won awards for most of them #we would have been tree people it would have been cool #nobody cosplayed for Latin Day btw I was just a nerd #oh also I remember I did an Iron Chef competition with another friend and I don't think we won but I was proud of my dish #I wanted to go to Latin Camp so badly where you only speak Latin and my parents were like no wtf

the japanese-korean stuff is always just this weird elephant in the room.... idk. a lot of the times the stuff like in that one orv arc is just really uncalled for but at the same time it doesn't feel right ignoring all the bad blood there just to say oh this is hashtag problematic or whatever. idk it's not a topic i know as much about as i maybe should what with being a usamerican with parents that have made no great efforts to keep me super tied to korean culture other than just like. the food. but it's hard to get good information on it with all the polarized uninformed biased opinions out there. my parents themselves aren't the most impartial sources either. idk idk. whatever

#from what i've seen in general other than maybe one freak or two there's no korean that'd genuinely come after some random japanese person #just for being jpn. a lot of koreans appreciate the culture and are into manga and the music and stuff like that. but it's just when it's #a conversation about politics or something that people start getting heated. i think it's just this cultural thing they've all grown into #living in korea. it's not always accusations either though a lot of the time it's just like... competition? you see it in sports esp a lot #also it's not always only ever towards japan..... for one thing korea. and japan for that matter. have been mostly racially homogenous #and i've seen firsthand that that leads to a lot of general ignorance and like condescending/stereotyping attitudes towards everybody #also korea specifically has historically spent a lot of time getting stepped on by others. both china and japan in particular #so i feel like that contributes to this sort of like sorta competitive touchiness that's there present day #idk though like i said. usamerican. this is all just stuff i've generally observed from my parents and the internet. probably shouldn't tak #it as like super deep commentary with a lot of authority.

Shades of Craig not being able to draw a horse lmaooo

#Craig of the creek #cotc #nicole Williams #the jump off #missy elliott #whenever I draw smth that’s not AT I’m like damn I can’t draw anything that’s not AT lol #*more like just bubbline and I can’t really draw them either…. #but drawing is fun so! #silly fan doodle #mine #young Nicole’s personality is so much like all her kids I love it #I want to know more abt her I feel like we only know abt Duane’s side of the family right? #it is super cool to see like where that emotional maturity comes from? #like craig gets caught up in competition and ego like any kid but he’s a bit more self aware #and you can totally see how both his parents have had to learn to rein it in and have taught him through example ??? #sorry lmao tag talk

" Don't let them in, don't let them see Be the good girl, you always have to be..."

Sometimes you gotta just lay on ice to contemplate life but hopefully not letting the cold consume you....

#my edits #oc: nicola bituin #original character #romance club assets #choices assets #Nicola isnt very sporty - however the only exception would be ice skating #cause her parents made her compete in competitions during high school #and honestly? she just finds it relaxing when its just her on the ice #and not skating for anyone else but her

time and time again i get surprised that i actually have an interest towards fitness and subjecting myself to intense physical activities (← guy with a raging scorpio mars)

#i think it’s cause growing up i associated these things w only athleticism and like #i could only participate if i was interested in sports and/or competing (my parents arw competitive people. i am not) #esp when both my siblings and some cousins were super into sports and i just couldn’t get into it #and i guess it’s also bc i’m on the bigger side and just felt embarrassed to take interest in physical stuff cause yk how filipinos are #lolz… but anyway i love moving around and enjoy the exertion #moi
