Modern AU LOTR where Frodo, Merry, and Pippin have their own MBMBAM-style advice show.
"Welcome to My Cousin, My Cousin, and Me; I'm your eldest cousin, Frodo Baggins"
"And I'm your middlest cousin, Merry 'Tall Boy' Brandybuck"
"And I'm your sweet baby cousin and 30 under 30 Middle Earth luminary, Pippin Took"
"It's really not fair that you were the only one under 30 when they were giving those out, Pip. Why couldn't they have come round a few decades earlier?"
There's a lot of Munch Squad because they're hobbits and they care a lot about food. Frodo does do them, and they are just as filled with weird characters as Justin's Munch Squad, but they're all much more obviously based on people they know. Frodo, as it turns out, can do a killer Legolas voice.
Pippin has a tendency to make up weird games and/or go off on weird tangents a la Travis, so Merry then takes Griffin's spot as the one getting increasingly more annoyed with him. Frodo just does Justin's weird little balloon-deflating laugh.
Guest-perts have included Bilbo, Gandalf, and Merry & Pippin's fathers. One time someone sends in a Wikihow article about gardening, so they bring on Sam as a Guest-pert, but it's like the most absurd advice ever, and while the cousins are all riffing on it, Sam spends the entire time getting more and more audibly offended. This is so entertaining to the audience that Sam continues appearing on the show, to the point that it's more like "My Cousin, My Cousin, and Me...and Sam"

The Fernweh Saga by @lacunafiction - Davor edition
I-I think Ms. Verner doesn't like him...😳
Davor "Dove" Kovač
🐝 RO: Becca Warrick
Personality: cautious // aloof // pessimistic // flirtatious (only towards Becca ...and Reese??)
Traits: head // independent // resistance // believer
Past affinity: math
Primary ability: extrasensory awareness
Past susceptibility: forward.
'it’s better to push forward. don’t look back on the past when you have new places to be and things to achieve.' <<< his motto
🕊️ Fernweh: Davor lived a happy life there and didn't think about leaving in the future. Maybe for some trips, but he knew it would always be his place, his safe place...
'It was a mistake to come back here.' - that was his first thought when he tried to fall asleep on the first night in Fernweh. The nightmares came back as he thought they would. He wants to leave as soon as possible because he feels that it is not safe for Becca to be here.
🕊️ Gramps Dan: That was his gramps who taught Davor how to play the guitar. As a young child, Davor always admired him and believed he was the most intelligent person in the world.
After the death of his parents and how his grandfather treated him, he was devastated and angry. He wanted answers soo badly but didn't get any. He lived loathing his grandfather ever since. The news of his passing stirred up a lot of negative emotions that Davor had previously managed to suppress. At the beginning of the story he couldn't care less about his grandfather, but because of his journal he started to believe him. Things that his granfather lived through made Davor even more angry at this messy town …but he's willing to forgive his gramps…
🐝 Becca Warrick: It was a ...funny story that brought both of them together and they look after each other ever since. He considers Becca as his precious (not in a negative-possessive way) treasure, he literally can't let anything bad happen to her. That was also she who came up with the nickname 'Dove'... (and she's literally the only person who calls him that, others wouldn't dare...). He had feelings for her for quite some time but didn't act on it... until now.
Although he didn't express it, he felt very nervous about Becca being in the town where he grew up. He was curious (but also scared) about what she could think of this town. He felt like he was revealing more of himself to her…. and he forgot about any worries pretty fast, because the town started being weird as fu--.
🕊️ Reese Verner: Back then Davor was quite cheerful and enjoyed competing with Reese regularly. They teased each other a lot. Davor always thought that Reese had a crush on him, was it true tho? donut know, but he certainly had.
...why does he appear in his nightmares? Maybe the crush stage never disappeared...? Seeing him again was a nice experience, sure... but ignoring the circumstances, he is still unsure if it was worth it and is struggling with his thoughts… Would it be worth it to return to Fernweh just to see him... again? welp, good thing he doesn't have to think about it much, am I right?
🕊️ Sofia Dorran: The two of them maybe did not have a strong relationship, but he knew Sofia is the ideal person for engaging in intelligent conversations. He enjoyed spending time with her, solving the puzzles that gramps created for them both. Davor wasn't a fan of fantasy books, but she managed to change his mind about them.
Davor knows that Sofia did take good care of his grandfather, but he still doesn't quite know if he's grateful for that or wished she spent her time more... valuably... He was tempted to ask Sofia to borrow that book she found in his grandfather's bedroom, but he thought better of it. It's better to leave Fernweh… Even so, his curiosity wasn't properly fed.
🕊️ James Corvin: Maybe not brothers by blood, but definitely brothers by choice. Davor treated him as if he was the brother he always wanted to have. Back then Davor always placed a high value on his family… until now. At the time, Davor tended to be more impulsive and James was usually the one who kept him from getting into trouble (which often involved Reese).
It was really hard, for both of them, to see each other after so long. Their first interaction was pretty awkward... I would even say that most of their interactions were . James noticed how Davor changed the question is: for the better or worse? I don't even know. Everyone can sense, that things around them are different now, and they aren't as close as before. Will it change?
🕊️ Alek Corvin: …To say that Alek wasn't a fan of Davor would be an understatement. Was it because James spent most of his time focusing only on Davor trying to get him out of trouble? Did Alek observe any possessiveness from Davor towards James? Or maybe simply because of the bond between those two, which was truly something that others would envy and desire? Davor never considered it, especially when he left Fernweh permanently. :))
As you can imagine, Alek doesn't seem very happy about Davor's return… But he took an interest in his new friend, Becca, which did not go unnoticed by Davor and he isn't really happy about it.
🕊️ The Waitress: Oh boy, it seems that Davor has taken up a new hobby, which is glaring harshly at the waitress. He finds her mistrustful and he smells trouble. Had they met when he was younger, there may have been a slim chance of them getting along.
🕊️ Waffles!: So um… Davor has a little issue with dogs and because of that his relationship with Waffles isn't as wonderful as I wish it would be... However, I believe that with time and help from Becca, they will eventually become friends.

With more older anime I watch that’s specifically about androids the more I noticed all the influence mega man pulled from it despite it not being a anime nor the robot timeline ever getting a proper anime but I think what gets me more then “the basis of mega man is like astro boy, casshern and POSSIBLY kikaider all in a blender with mega man x making the second two inspos more apparent” is realizing how many villain characters inspired proto man.
You have the obvious one, char from Gundam, you have rock holmes from Astro boy who’s not a confirmed one but seems to track given classic takes a lot of Astro boy influence and then you have Saburo from Android kikaider, the most likely inspo for proto in EVERY category- and then you remember how while these characters are evil for a complex reason, proto man really shines to be different as he changed his ways. He’s still a rival to his “brother” in a sense but bass takes more of the role of the evil mega man, while proto just watches from afar and comes in to help when he thinks he’s needed.
I’m going to rotate this red robot fuck for awhile again FUCK

So way back in late 2020 (if memory serves me correctly) I was looking at concept art of the Phantom Thieves when I stumbled upon one of Haru’s concept illustrations… when I first saw this I was all: Hmmm…. You look familiar.
Plus: also from late 2020

i'm on episode two of young royals and so far it's just making me really really jealous of sara because she seems to have such a nice brother who always seems to make an effort to include her in things and make sure she doesn't feel too lonely or left out - unlike my brother, whose response to me being lonely in high school was to constantly go "na-na-na-na-na you've got no friends!", as if it was all some big running joke

oddly specific characterization trope i use Often is taking a character whos incredibly resentful at people slash society slash the world and just plopping them into really nice nature circumstances for a bit. maybe youll feel better if a butterfly lands on your hand. what if you walked around in a flower field for a while. maybe circumstances are rough right now but if you wander out past your comfy bubble of anger and resentment you'll see how bright and vast the night sky is outside and realize that maybe it is worth living here after all.
(how long have you gone without knowing how bright the sky can be?)
(isnt it cruel how many stars were hidden from you?)
