okay wait laughingstock concept Incoming: so im imagining some of the neighbors (maybe Julie & Frank) noticing that Barnaby & Howdy are a lil fruity, yk yk. and Julie's like damn, i guess we have to play matchmaker here.

so naturally they wind up getting the whole neighborhood involved. everybody's a wingman here. Poppy's dropping hints when Howdy drops off groceries, Wally is constantly asking Barnaby to go get him things from the bodega, etc etc. Howdy and Barnaby are facing this sudden change in town-wide behavior with slight concern and bemusement

eventually - lets say Julie, Sally, and Wally - get Barnaby into the bodega and then abruptly leave like "don't have too much fun without us you two *wink wink nudge nudge*". once they're gone (read: very obviously hiding outside & watching through the window) Barnaby & Howdy turn to each other like:

Barnaby: you think we should tell them we're already married?

Howdy: let them have their fun - they'll figure it out eventually

#dont have the mental fortitude to Draw This but i still wanted to share the thought #'but how would no one notice that theyre literally married' #easy: theyre very relaxed and secure in their relationship. also howdy has a strict 'no pda at work' rule #also because its funny. we can stretch rationality for the Bit cmon now #through the power of the bit Anything is possible #and we all know the neighbors are Peak Sillies so. yk #it strikes me that once they get Bored of the constant 'matchmaking' #barnaby and howdy stage this whole thing where they 'confess' to each other So dramatically and So publicly #they make it an Event #sally is swooning from the drama and spectacle of it all. wally is trying to paint the moment as fast as possible #julie is so excited she's close to passing out. eddie is crying. so is poppy. frank is taking the credit. home is just happy to be there #as soon as barnaby and howdy retreat out of sight they burst out laughing for a solid ten minutes #GAH THE BRAINROT THE BRAINROT #laughingstock #wailing and sobbing they are so so good together and FOR WHAT FUCKING REASON #i cant even put it into words they just Fit! like puzzle pieces! #theres something so natural about em. i look at them and its like. they Would be perfect for each other huh #i already know theyd have such a healthy wholesome relationship They Just Work. Theyre The Dream Couple #howdy says the most confusing sentence ever said. barnaby nods along with genuine love in his eyes. etc. you get it #now watch! canon is gonna absolutely set this on fire! #which would be Fun. painful. but Fun. seriously tho im curious as to how/if barnaby and howdy will interact/develop.... #i mean personally i love it when shit gets messy so i hope it Hurts So Bad or at least Goes Downhill #i hope its a rollercoaster on all accounts

(Shoutout to Blair and Chuck for being my first toxic couple to ship)

I am THIS CLOSE to drawing Feyd and reader in a similar situation. I need it. I’m gnawing on the bars of my enclosure. The power dynamic is so gorgeous — a powerful man on his knees for a powerful woman.

I haven’t drawn anything in so long but my brain cannot let go of this imagery

Kidnapping being a common way to confess your love in the supernatural world and dipper getting kidnapped while he was just trying to do research in the fearamid library (it has a lot of useful books in there, although surface level information but most of it doesn't exist back in the overworld, and demons barely use it, the demons that do use it really just wants to gain knowledge or read) and then the world goes black and he wakes up clearly still in the fearamid (because he sees that same horrible wallpaper in the background he usually sees in guest rooms) only to see like a mid ranking demon serenading him, he cringes because not only does it have bad singing skills but he doesn't want to see anyone explode right now (who evens kidnap someone and deposit them in the same building? This probably isn't even it's room because only higher ranking demons get guest rooms)

(Sorry for word vomiting

bleeerrghhhghggrh.... hlehrghehehg

Wipes mouth and sorry for vomiting)

(Also sorry for using a lot of these cage thingies)

The funny thing is, kidnapping Dipper and staying in the Fearamid while doing it is like. One of the few ways not to have Bill notice immediately and twig to something being wrong. What with Dipper still Being Around Nearby, and if he isn't responding to Bill's calls or texts or anything, hey! Maybe he's just being huffy about something, he'll calm down soon enough.

Obviously the demon in question didn't think that far ahead, and is in for a very very bad time in short order. Dipper, meanwhile, is likely an old hand at the kidnapping thing at this point to be so blase about it.

#answers #Man isn't it weird how often Dipper gets into Situations™ #It's almost like someone has it out for him #True facts though; associating with Bill means Dipper looks like a ripe and juicy mortal target #So squishy!! So vulnerable!! #Right up until he picks the handcuffs or explodes the cage bars or tricks a minion into giving him the keys #Or creates an illusion that he's not in the cage you put him in and decks you once you open the door #And engulfs you all in flame #Bill didn't marry himself a *stupid* mortal after all #Dipper would be a tricky target after the first couple kidnapping attempts even without the power

Patrick Troughton lays down the law as Italian police Inspector Guido Gambetti in The Saint: Interlude in Venice (5.2, ITC, 1966)

#fave spotting #patrick troughton #the saint #interlude in venice #doctor who #classic doctor who #two #1966 #itc #Pat had made a previous Saint ep (2.18‚ The Romantic Matron) also as a local cop embroiled in Simon's schemes (Argentine in the earlier ep #Venetian here). his cop this time is rather more fleshed out; he's astute and intelligent enough to allow Simon pretty much a free #hand in pursuing the villains (all the most successful guest cops pretty much sit back and let him do his thing) whilst also acknowledging #that solving the case will undoubtedly be good for his career. there's also a subtle hint of comic business; in their first meeting #in a hospital‚ Pat sits on what appears to be a stretcher and has to be moved off it by an irate nurse‚ and he also offers to light candles #for Simon (bc he's the Saint ofc). this aired almost exactly a month before Pat debuted in DW in Power of the Daleks episode 1 #his tenure on Who would put an end to these kinds of guest spots for a couple of years‚ and afterwards he'd generally appear in more mature #or quirky guest roles‚ making this quite possibly the last of his detective roles #but he's a lot of fun as always‚ and his Italiano accent is definitely on the right side of Ham #and to think @thisbluespirit you and @basiltheratatouille were planning to waylay me and steal these dvds away! #and deprive me of a little Italian Patty T?! monsters both

I totally get the temptation to power through a dog's health or behavioural issues just to finish a title but consider... not doing that...

Shopping for Gifts + Power??? 🎄

a/n: sorry for this being delayed! I think i have an ear infection and i can't go to the doctor to get medicine for it. I hope you enjoy!!! I had fun writing this. link to prompt list

read under the cut!

The bane of most people's existence is shopping, especially when it's shopping for gifts. You never know what to get anyone and more importantly, your girlfriend keeps trying to get you to buy the most ridiculous gifts!

From four-wheelers to a very odd-looking stuff animal that is most definitely a used return item, Power keeps trying to get you to buy it. "HUMAN!! LOOK AT THIS GLORIOUS GREEN DEVIL! It would be most fitting to adorn our home with it!" You glance in Power's direction, only to see her trying to climb the insanely high shelf where a rather familiar green Christmas hating character is. In a panic, you push your cart away from you yelling out at Power.

An in an almost too cartoonish act, she falls from the shelf. It had broken away, most likely missing a screw much like Power. You sigh as you help her up, checking her over for any wounds and begrudgingly kissing any bruises because Power pouted when you didn't. And the worse part was yet to come. The manager and security had kicked you both out.

Looks like Aki won't be getting a fancy coffee maker, nor will Denji be getting a specially made stuffed plush for Christmas. And let's not forget Power not attaining a green "devil" for Christmas either.

#Power needs to be put on a leash #I think Power would like the Grinch #She would agree with him #csm power #csm x reader #csm #chainsaw man #chainsaw man x reader #power csm #power chainsaw man #chainsaw man power #power x reader #power #chainsaw man power x reader #x fem!reader #x female reader #x gn reader #men and non sapphics dni #trying to make these a couple of paragraphs or longer #need more practice writing

I do love the idea of a no powers Emily immediately calling whichever Overseer managed to survive The Dunwall Horrors and hurriedly telling them to go dismantle the Royal Conservatory ASAP, yes, you have the Throne's authority to set literally the entire building on fire if you need to, holy shit, you can't even imagine how bad it is in there.

#dishonored 2 #emily kaldwin #i hc the no powers run HARD #I don't think she'd actually be able to put even a minimal amount of trust on the Outsider or the Void after the Coup #especially after seeing Delilah use the Void to rip her father away from her and massacre her friends and supporters #that coupled with the casual cruelty of the Witches i feel would reinforce her decision as she witnesses the horrors of Delilah's Reign

I never thought I'd say this but I think IDW1 Prowl and F1 Toto Wolff have a few things in common

For those who have yet to be convinced: [x] [x] [x] [x]

#they remind me of each other #both appear cold and calculating on the outside and they are willing to go great lengths to see their plans come into fruition #but if something goes wrong they will throw a tantrum and destroy the nearest object out of anger #prowl flips tables while toto destroys headsets AND tables #they'd make a horrible team #just saying #i'd like to put them in the same room and give them a common goal just to see how they will interact (and study them in secret) #it will either end up with one of them dead. both of them dead or all their opponents dead/incapacitated in some way #they would be a disaster duo or a power couple. add susie to the mix and the three of them will be able to conquer the world

Wow, I have a fic description and a fic title before I've even established a proper fic plot

(this is probably because I'm very excited about this fic and it's potential...)

Edit:

Here are my tags because I started explaining the plot and want it actually in the post rather than just the tags lol:

#Aziraphale gets removed from the book of life is like...the main plot #and - through various means - it is Crowley remembering him and bringing him back #(with guest star appearances from Adam and the Them on a school trip to yo London; Warlock #running away from his parents for the third time; Muriel who is cheerily *not* realising that they used to be a very powerful angel before #a mind wipe; Maggie and Nina dancing around the fact that Nina might very well be ready for that next step; Beelzebub and Gabriel both #visiting Crowley separately for couple's counselling (although *why* he cannot fathom; and the second coming of Christ #although she is not at all what heaven was planning - in fact #heaven didn't know she existed yet) #but it is also Crowley being miserable and lonely and kind of not knowing why #but being reminded of something until things start to fall into place #and then history is a bit weird until they defeat Metatron (fuck 'im) and put Aziraphale's name back #(this fic *really* makes me wish I could draw because a big part of it is that Eve #- the second coming of Christ - keeps getting visions of the past as it was when Aziraphale still existed #since she's technically God and i think God is probably the only one to whom edits to the book of life don't affect #and Crowley finds it #and I think it would be so cool to have like pages of notebook and sketches in between the fic writing) #GO2 #Good Omens Season 2 #Good Omens #Ineffable Husbands #because I wrote an essay in the tags of my own post instead of in the main body (like a fool) #Fae Rambles Into The Void #How To Make A Nightingale Sing #<- the current working title

[hotchocolatelovesyou]

I was replaying CMM and (SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED IT) every time we end up in the escape room I wonder how MC does not freak out. I'm not claustrophobic but I'd probably start panicking. I know Chelsea calls every now and then to check on us but like... it's a big, old mansion that seems like a labyrinth, it's night so you can't see properly, you are all alone on your own AND the door of the weird ass room you're stuck in won't open.

Anyways, my point is: imagine if MC is indeed claustrophobic, she does start freaking out and Chelsea is trying to let her out but for some technical problem the door just won't open?

Imagine the LI going in protective mode and they're getting more and more frustrated as time passes. I'd feel a bit bad for Chels but I would LOVE to see a protective LI.

Think about Bobby, who is usually a non confrontational person, seeing red because his wife is crying and he can't go help her straight away. Hell, I can even see Lucas thinking about suing if things escalated. Gary would break the door himself and you already know that Lottie is going to be poisonous every time she's gonna open her mouth.

Yeah, well, if someone writes about this scenario (especially if the LI in question is Bobby), lemme know! It could be cute and angsty at the same time.

#especially if mc is claustrophobic bc of a traumatic experience she had #and the LI knows why so they are even more furious #no but bobby would surprise everyone with his reaction #i just know #it will be up to noah and others to keep thing civil bc bobby is going to take his wife and leave #i already told you that gary would destroy the door so #lemme know about all the other LIs #litg cmm #love island the game cmm #litg bobby #litg s2 #litg s2 bobby #love island the game #litg cmm bobby #im putting bobby bc he's my husband my love and my life but this if for all the LIs obviously #we been a power couple since day 1 #love island the game season 2 #love island season 2 bobby #litg #litg chelsea's murder mistery #i don't mean that they will get angry with Chelsea but at the situation in general #i mean Lottie might take it out on Chels tho

[unproduciblesmackdown]

for real how epic that akd crushes this role for 6 seasons where they are acting it tf up and whenever they appear guaranteed Very Present when they contrast so much against the backdrop of the rest of the series' milieu in addition to having a usual intensity in demeanor and billions had to hold the role back to avoid eclipsing its supposed core parts but didn't just try to get rid of them about it and so we get all this energy already and the constant nonbinarity too. win

#winston billions #asia kate dillon #really showed up for a couple of actors just every instant giving utter performances #billions unable to contain them so we're shortchanged on behalf of these other roles that it very much can contain #and yet they also recognized like well this is gold so how about we absolutely never let them go #the epic highs & lows of billions giving taylor all their prominence in s4 only to then forever pull back on that #no they can't gain their autonomy again pre finale. no they can't escape wendy rhoades our insisted upon Centrist Hero core part lmao #winston fr it was like well we wrote a guy to be laughed at & pwned & he killed it....i guess we'll just do that for the rest of the show? #anyways nothing new here just thinking like Epic....Nonbinary #the idiosyncrasy that billions Can contain that other shows can't b/c billions has its deliberate off the railsness #and so for taylor to get to be this part that is even particularly idiosyncratic amongst that....scintillating. mwah #including being the closest to actually handling the idiosyncrasy of the autistic guy.... #if they were Really allowed to be so powerful as to cast off the Billions' Correctness ideas (which they can't b/c billions can't) #winston could be like no but for real re: wendy....and then there's a problem if taylor ever did truly just stop bothering w/her lol #anyways fr their getting to put the So Gender out there via also overall getting to be So Character making the series 900x more engaging #well no breaking news to anyone here i'm sure but let's post about it again for sure yknow. anytime....Them #sure had Writing behind it from the start but then the Acting & [actual nonbinary person] providing So much crucial energy #all the more of that Need for the acting in just like. peak That re: winston lol. the acting Making it a part.... #while the writing never strained itself trying to shift that distribution of effort lol. all up to the magic of actor w. roland.... #also at all present in [so your character being much less hindered would break open the rest of the series' limitations huh] for taylor.... #hooraayyy w/the most room for taylor in s4 but then that was as far as they could let them go & so shortchanged beyond that forever #and wayyy too much wendy & wags furiously held at the center of s7 like. taylor sacker philip teamup would be done w/this in 5 min? #skill issue for wendy & wags & for the series overall in not being able to Not focus 90098293hz of affection there at other roles' expense #didn't need all that axe either of course; another Thwartation device. if rian was gonna be like that should've written her out s5 or 6 #dollar bill is here because he just has to be here? at least they didn't try to focus on him all thee time or anything but smh #well anyways lmfao the point is against all odds still all this serendipity for Taylor Mason akd tour de force & gendering good for us all

[dravidious]

You're really awesome

PROBLEM: I want to make magic decks with my cards irl, but I have no one to play them against.

SOLUTION: Make an entire custom deck that can play itself to more or less replicate an opponent.

I decided to put the rules in card form as conspiracy cards, but it turns out that rules should be written as rules, not cards, so I had to make extensive notes about each of them (except Industrial Expansion, that one is actually effects instead of rules). I also just enjoy talking about my design choices.

Notes: Creating waste tokens instead of playing lands is basically free card advantage, as well as preventing mana screw/flood. The bot is supposed to have more raw strength than the player, so this isn’t a huge problem, but the starting hand size reduction and 5 land limit are still needed balance it.

Also, I know wastes isn’t actually a basic land type, but it makes the card so much cleaner so "Wastes token" is a predefined token here just like Treasure and Food.

Notes: There’s probably some awkward edge cases here too. I fixed the only one I could find (involving Recycle Bin), but there might be more. The main guiding rule in playing the bot is "don’t make it do obviously dumb stuff." The cards are balanced around the rigid rules, so bad decisions are okay, but sometimes there are plays that are so worthless or actively counterproductive that you really ought to step in. Edge cases should be resolved in whatever way makes the bot play best. Ideally, you shouldn’t have to think too hard about what the bot does; it’s supposed to be automatic, after all. The other guiding rule is "make this similar to a normal game of Magic."

Notes: Much, much simpler than Defense Protocol. Still some vagueness, but good enough to prevent swinging into the opponent’s 4/4 with a 3/3. It applies on a creature-by-creature basis; if you have a 3/3 with flying and a 2/1, and your opponent has a 4/4, the 2/1 won’t attack, but the 3/3 will. If you have a 2/1 and a 5/4, only the 5/4 will attack since the 2/1 can be fully blocked by the 4/4.Non-lethal battles are tricky; if you have a 2/1 and the opponent has a 0/3, you shouldn’t attack because then you’re just tapping down your 2/1. But if you have a pair of 2/1s, you should attack for the free damage. You could reinterpret the "such that they lose no life" bit, but that would result in the rules telling you to swing your creatures into into a 4/4. Basically, use your best judgement; this stuff is too complicated to write out. You’re smart enough.

Notes:

This card would be a fucking nightmare to properly template. Good thing it’s a rule and not actually a card. The vague wording can probably result in lots of edge cases, but this card is basically meant to say "The bot makes the best blocks possible" so use your best judgement in those cases. Activated abilities that boost a creature should be taken into account if mana is open for them. A version of the blocking rules not in card form is given below.

Priority 1: If you can block in such a way that your life total remains above 0, you must do so.

Priority 2: If a blocker can deal lethal damage to an attacker and survive, it must block that creature.

Priority 3: If a blocker can deal lethal damage to an attacker, or if it can survive, it must block that creature.

Priority 4: Don’t block.

Misc 1: If multiple attackers are tied for the highest block priority, the blocker must block the creature with the highest power. If tied, highest toughness, then highest mana value, then choose randomly.

Misc 2: Multi-block an attacker only if it has menace or a similar ability, only with the minimum number of blockers, and only if it falls under a blocking priority (ex. it’s threatening to win the game, or it can be destroyed, or both your blockers survive). Anything else could be a nightmare to calculate.

And that's all the rules/conspiracies, which should allow for playing against the bot while making as few decisions as possible. Here's the cards. The bot's deck consists of 4 copies of each card for a clean 60 deck, compatible for testing against mill.

#asks #custom cards #is this properly balanced? i have no idea #i don't even know how powerful my irl decks are #this once again suffers from the problem of me not bothering to actually print out and playtest my stuff #in hindsight i should've come up with some way of adjusting the difficulty #and then designed the cards around that #maybe an ability word like “hard mode -- this creature gets +1/+1” #or a couple conspiracies that shift it up or down #instead i just made all the cards somewhat overpowered to compensate for the stupidity and lack of synergy #good thing i haven't printed it yet lol #also it has a robot theme because mindless robots obeying their programming fit the idea #but they aren't artifact creatures because that would make artifact removal disproportionately strong #i made sure to put an artifact and an enchantment in to make sure that artifact/enchantment removal is useful #i also put design notes on some of the noncreature cards #i can share those if you want lol #also i just noticed the 4-drop creatures are kinda weak #changing them to a 6/4 and 4/5 to make sure they can do their jobs #there's been a few PvE formats in mtg but none that try to replicate a real game of magic #i wanted a format you could play a normal deck against and have it be sort of realistic
