actually you know what this is a fun idea for ALL of the matches. what if we DID just start making up in-character insults and "attacks". the rules are that they must be in-character only, they must be silly (so no bringing in actual character discourse, only dumb stuff), and that we try to make them as ridiculously mundane as possible. like. "did you know one time when quackity was on tv for a speech he was giving back when he was vice, i saw him trip on his shoelaces, except he was embarrassed about it, so he tried to play it off as cool, and instead just sort of looked even dumber." things like that.

#mcytblr elections #that anon had a HUGE brain we should be doing this it's sillygoofy fun #for the record i want people to try to throw these about JOE too #or about their own matchups - one time i heard doc trying to pretend to make goat sounds #one time i saw mumbo eating redstone #things like that

hey gang if I were to do a little project for school about why it's interesting & special that twilight's queer online fandom finds queer themes & narratives within a story that's so overtly pushing a mormon heteronormative agenda.. would anyone be like interested in sharing their thoughts on that with me or

#i am thinking about focusing mainly on bella and how her being So Not Like Other Girls kind of unintentionally queer-coded her #but i'd also be curious to hear anyones thoughts on other characters! like if you are an ace edward beliver i'd love to know more about tha #and outside of the text like how are these characters important to queer people #i'd wanna know what about certain characters resonates with you and why you choose to see them in a queer context #things like that #twilight #tts #bella swan #edward cullen #the twilight saga #twilight renaissance #twilight blog #jacob black #twilight saga #alice cullen #mine

I've always wanted to entertain a universe where Princess Peach was not familiar at all with romance.

She would go through her life being raised on political philosophy and the understanding that she would one day be responsible for the people of the Mushroom Kingdom, her teachings are very strict and single-minded in the effort to make her an effective ruler. This turns her into an incredibly driven and kind woman who is primarily concerned with her citizen's security and happiness. The fairytale land of the Mushroom Kingdom emphasized a culture of love, certainly, but it was a love for all living creatures. Romance exists, but it was not part of the mainstream of ideas.

Her interests did not include fantasy or fiction. Even when offered by her guardians and retainers, she would decline and opt instead for denser, brainier, more intensive material. The concept of romance simply never came across her horizon.

Until she gets kidnapped, and a stranger arrives to save her.

This man is strong, stronger than the King of the Darklands. Strong enough to rescue her. He is humble and sweet, and he has the most earnest blue eyes she's ever seen. He is charming without meaning to be, content with the simple things in life, and her heart appears to do a little something every time he smiles bashfully at her attempts to thank him for his heroic deeds. He has dimples in his cheeks. Mario, he is called. Thinking of his name causes a most peculiar rush in her chest. She sometimes likes to murmur it to herself when no one is around, but she couldn't say why.

"It is love," those close to her tried to explain. But she didn't understand.

She discovers her grand library's fiction section. She pores over romantic tales, particularly those regarding a princess and her knight in shining armor. Meanwhile, she observes that her face becomes quite warm when Mario is around, and that she tends to ramble or stammer nervously when she is ordinarily so clear and concise. She has not had any practice disguising such feelings. They come off as quite obvious to any onlooker.

Mario is not presumptuous, however, and though he finds himself nursing his own romantic feelings for Princess Peach, he would never dare assume someone of his station would be worthy of her. Still, many point out her obvious flustered demeanor and clear affection for him. He had already dedicated himself to many acts of service for her, but he begins to bring her small gifts as well. Interesting findings, secret tokens, tiny treasures from his journeys. Small wonders of the amazing world he'd come to love living in, and tiny, heartfelt creations.

Pressure grows from those around them who can see they clearly have feelings for each other. When the time comes, Peach sits, meekly admiring a flower he had offered her as they sit on a grassy hill under the starlight. She explains that she believes she likes him, but admits that she does not understand very much about the nature of her feelings or of romance in general. She's a little frightened; her daydreams and wistful yearning have distracted her from her duties at times, and she becomes overwhelmed in his presence. She wishes to understand it all better, but she doesn't know where to begin.

Mario, surprised and flattered by the news, puts his hand over hers and tells her that he is willing to help her explore her feelings and make better sense of them. He can teach her; he's been a hopeless romantic for as long as he could remember.

And he loves her. He's more than willing to take this journey with her.

Flirting, dates, kissing. All of these are foreign concepts to Peach and she frets that she's very far behind and that she'll do it all wrong. But Mario soothes her and tells her it all comes with time. He won't push her into anything she isn't ready for, though he does purposefully tease and gently flirt with her just to see her blush and smile. Over time, she is able to reciprocate.

He invites her out to classic dates and more unique ones. Garden strolls, picnics, or trips to find the best view of the sunset. He continues to bring her gifts, and rescues her from Bowser all without any expectations that she return the sentiment.

She learns. She finds or creates gifts, and arranges dates to surprise him. Her heart feels full whenever she sees his eyes light up with genuine surprise and awe. She learns that he quite appreciates physical touch, and makes sure to reach for him often. Touching his arm, finding any reason to hug him, and offering a modest kiss on the cheek upon being rescued. He also finds great comfort and solace in words of affirmation, reminding him that she sincerely enjoys his company and finds him to be very cute. She loves how he blushes.

One night, after a date he put a lot of work into arranging, Peach expresses her gratitude for his effort, and tells him that she thinks she would like to kiss him. Blinking, Mario finds himself endeared to her shy and slightly clumsy request. He approaches her with his familiar soft manner.

"Close your eyes," he says with that bashful smile, and she does.

He kisses her forehead. His hands gingerly rest on her face, and she lets out a shaky breath. "Is this okay?" he asks, and she nods. He kisses her temple, and then her cheek. His mustache tickles. Her entire body feels like it's buzzing.

He pauses, his thumb stroking her face, before he tilts his head to kiss her on the lips.

She melts. It's tender and sweet. All the stories she had read emphasized the importance of a first kiss, and his delicate manner was better than anything she could have imagined. He pulls away, his eyes shining under the starlight, only for her to seize his hands.

"I want you to kiss me again," she says.

He smiles, and he does.

#rip this is long #I had to get this out of my brain before I lost it #A concept I've always had but never committed to #I prefer where they're on the same page about a lot of things #Like what they want out of life #Both of them growing up hopeless romantics #Things like that #But there's something so pure about this scenario #Someone experiencing romance for the first time #And the object of their affection being the best possible person #Safe and protective #Not toxic or entitled #Just wholly devoted and also deeply in love #Mario is the perfect man #There I said it #Mario #Princess Peach #Mareach #Diary of Drones

Vash flower shop owner, vashmeryl au. Lol it's just so perfectly silly. I know so original and funny bc he's a plant he'd own a flower shop 🤪.

But these aus are so cute I can't help it lol.

Make it even more cheesy by making meryl the work addicted reporter who stops in to buy some flowers for a work event or maybe she reluctantly home for Christmas and stopping buy to get flowers for her mom/parents who she has a strained relationship with bc of course.

Vash being a literal angel on earth being a fan of Christmas and trying to get meryl to enjoy the Christmas spirt lol.

Even more cheese if they are ex lovers who broke up bc meryl went off to college and a big city while vash wanted to stay and live a more peaceful life .

Millywolf background being the high school sweethearts that made it and are happily married. That meryl watched and wonders if she made the wrong choice bc look at them being all gross and lovely and happy.

Maybe to add more silly drama if wolfwoods orphanage is being threatened to be shut down. Meryl having to choose her new story or reporting on this actual news story.

All that cheesy fun stuff lol

#idk man i just want some silly holiday cheesey romcom vashmeryl #with a hint of angst #vashmeryl #vash x meryl #ramblings #idk if knives is alive in this i forgot about ooop #probably somewhere being a grinchy butt #milly and vash would be vomiting holiday cheer all over the place #meryl says its all capitalism bull but she enjoys seeing vash so happy #vash would definitely spend the holidays helping out those in needs too #like donate his time at soup kitchens #things like that #the group probably all would make plans to go do stuff like that

Chosen One Support Group where main characters and fated saviors from all sorts of universes come together in a sort of group therapy/life advice/mutual bitching session. Ft. One character over the age of twenty wondering why the fuck everyone is eighteen and below and who the fuck is going to save these children.

#the elf talks #personally I’m fond of post AC cloud being the Token Adult like ‘I’m sorry these are all babies who the fuck’ #considering he grew into his chosen oneness #also just incredibly fond of him pointing at an eleven year old Harry like ‘absolutely not no you’re not becoming a pawn in a war’ #he’s seen the results of sending a child to become a soldier too young and he does not like it #but there would definitely be more #Izuku perhaps as the confused but caring older sibling? #Percy Jackson teaching little Harry and anyone else who doesn’t know how to swim? #things like that

[birrdies]

what if I made posts detailing common character arcs and motifs and parallels for specific life series characters that extend throughout all of the seasons of the life series… im tempted

#for example etho and bdubs’ relationship throughout the series #or the imagery of the desert with scar and grian #or the parallels of team best and team ties #things like that #etho #grian #desert duo #secret life #traffic smp #birdie chirps

[dittolicous]

my writing sin is that i want to insert funny background events into every scene because my brain interprets imagined visuals into words, so written scenes end up cluttered or hanging too long on pointless/inconsequential interactions that would have been an out-of-focus background event while the main plot happens in the foreground had it been in a visual format

imagination of an artist, but only the ability to write to get them out v_v

#ditto rambles #writing sins #so often when writing catching trains scenes i would find myself getting side tracked by things that are happening outside the main focus #characters getting into shenanigans and general life interactions #things that matter to the scene as a whole #but are distracting when written #similarly i often want characters to be doing little actions #leaning onto friends ahoulders or pushing/shoving #those little actions that you do with people you care about #getting in their space #making playful gestures or faces #things like that #but that once again can clutter up written scenes #siiiiighs #i was trying to write again #and had to keep catching myself #cuz i want the characters to be moving or responding to #stimuli even when theyre not the focus #catching trains fic

i don ’t know if you had already answered this question before but what are the ships you aren’t comfortable doing ?

Grian x Jimmy , Hermitcraft specific Scarian (On thin ice) , Grian x Pearl , Poly Badboys and any Welsknight ships are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head :) And of course any weird ships such as adult x minor! Feel free to always send in an ask to see if I'm comfortable with a ship before requesting :)

#❀ ┈ asks #♡ anon #These are for different reasons but most are due to viewing as a more fam relationship :) #Or headmate memories #things like that #+ Also headcanons! (Welsknight specific) #With the hermitcraft specific Scarian this doesn't mean I won't do mumscarian :)

[hopefulsapphic]

actually i do not have thoughts™️ about the first two eps of the pjo show because i did not go into it critically at all. i did not and will not go into it as a 21 year old adult with a decade long attachment to the characters and series, i am going into it like a ten year old child full of wide-eyed wonder and whimsy like the gods intended. and with that in mind i found it truly fantastic

#that said i do have some little things little thoughts #some things were different some things had to be different some didn't but i appreciated the creative choices made #loved that it was sally that told him about the gods first #i did miss clarisse pushing him into the water and that giving him strength and whatever but still loved annabeth just shoving him lmao #things like that #overall love it so far definitely satisfied the ten year old in me #and that's all that really matters tbh #thoughts from my brain #pjo tv spoilers #pjo tv show

so, i've been seeing a lot about the new BG3 epilogues, but i gotta ask: do you get a similar epilogue if you choose to become the absolute at the end? i know it's unlikely, but... i have thoughts about how that could go 👀

#baldur's gate 3 #like maybe absolute!tav gets bored of being surrounded by mindless thralls #and magnanimously gives the party their minds back for one evening #not enough that they can fight back but enough to say what they're really thinking #i think it'd be interesting to see which companions have resigned themselves to or even accepted their fate #and which ones are still fucking furious #and it could depend on things like companion quest outcomes and relationships! #for example if you never killed cazador maybe astarion would be more resigned to his fate #bc tav isn't as cruel a master as cazador was and in a twisted way keeps him safe from being taken back in by cazador's compulsion #whereas if you killed cazador‚ he'd be furious. bc he had just had his first taste of real freedom and you took it away from him. #different flavors of angry for spawn vs ascendant astarion of course #or like if you were playing a shar cleric and shadowheart stayed a shar worshiper she might actually see your actions as a good thing #seeing you as taking control of the absolute in the name of shar #whereas if you'd encouraged her to forge her own path she'd be disgusted with your hypocrisy #things like that #basically: feed me the angst pls

Cool thing about being in the terminally online generation is that no matter what kind of music we normally like, All of Us got infected with getting attached to those covid songs in 2020.

#chit chat #not songs about covid #i heard one of my coworkers playing a sea shanty today #im talking about those #and like soldier poet king #things like that #2020 tiktok music united us in that dark hour even when we were not on tiktok

hi friend I am respectfully making demands at risk of siege that you talk about something in your modern au that might never come up in text but is a piece of it nonetheless

you have 72 hours otw canadas next

Somer. You nearly made the temptation to wait on this too much. Luckily I’m a Grade A rambler being asked to ramble and there is a good bit that either won’t or might not ever be in this. Buckle up buttercup. 🤪

So I have included, in some of my ramblings, references that the First Hero (ie the one mentioned in Skyward Sword as being Sky’s predecessor) and that trains will be in this AU. Currently the plan is to make this very slice of life, one-two shot set up for the Before the Adventure stuff and then have a “introduction of plot” fic that’s chaptered… before the rest is back to the one-three shot slice of life stuff. So my opportunity to have many things be brought outa the vault is pretty high. So that said…. This will be pretty much bits and pieces of ideas I had and scrapped but still like or things I’m holding onto but likely won’t write;

That said… Mister First will likely stay as just referenced as the Queen’s companion, until or unless he appears in LU canon and I feel it necessary to include him more. Mostly cause nine is the biggest cast I’ve written for… ever. Which isn’t even the full number for LU but it’s the most consistent one. Also because i don’t know enough to feel like I’ve got a good grasp. Plus it’s fun to make him kind of cryptid like in this quasi-political court field I’ve created.

Then the trains! Spirit Tracks is really cute and very much set far after Wind’s time. So I thought it could be fun to have that as a little teaser to maybe having the train boy come in. We’ll see. I want to go through a little more and see how some others shake out with the plot I currently have.

The Champions were actual people in this! Not just constellations. They did pass in The Calamity and I will likely only ever reference them briefly for feels. Urbosa was the soccer coach at Wild and Flora’s school. Revali was Link’s rival in archery. Mipha was Swim Captain and in a flirtationship with Wild. Daruk was the wrestling coach. Both Urbosa and Daruk taught actual classes. Daruk did Math, don’t ask me which.. pls I don’t like math. Urbosa did the Gerudo language class.

Urbosa was Riju’s cousin, it was distanced though. Daruk was Yunobo’s grandfather still. Mipha and Sidon still siblings, can’t change that. Revali was Saki’s nephew.

None of this will ever really come up because Wild’s past amnesia will only come up occasionally. It’s said that in BOTW that he has regained his memory by the end, so im going to run with a version of Wild who remembers, is grieving, and is trying to move on. So at most there will be a reference to them as his still healing grief comes and goes.

A lot of my world building are things that likely will not be big big in the story, just things I’ve made note of so I remember that they’re important references.

Like Sky and Twi’s nicknames for each other! They defend them ruthlessly, even if they’re a little embarrassed by them. They were penpals as kids, a program ran by their schools to encourage the grade schoolers to practice writing, and got made fun of by their classmates because their names are the same! So the usual school yard taunts of their penpal being themself and things a long those lines. Little kid logic of let’s give each other nicknames and that’ll solve the problem! It didn’t but it made them feel better and special, so they stuck. The nicknames come from their middle names and I haven’t decided if those get revealed in story or not, so no sharing here yet.

There is some funky magic stuff that happened, happens, and will happen. Time and Lullaby do have the whole time magic stuff. So while Time remembers meeting Warriors… Warriors remembers meeting someone much younger and thinks Time is his own younger brother (this may come up, it may not). Warriors did deal with some funky portal magic stuff like from his game, yes Cia was in the middle of it, and The Calamity was a magically driven disaster.

I played around with the idea of the depths also being a part of the Hyrule map and having it be the home of the Twili people… except that was going to be a little much to handle as far as keeping track and mentioning. So I scrapped it.

The Twili people do have a land of their own, it is outside of Hyrule, but it is not a part of Hyrule. Midna lived with Dusk when she was an exchange student. Her phone number was turned off because Hylian phone carriers don’t work in the Twili lands. The Twili people are more nomadic despite being modern times, they still move from place to place. They have ‘Village Sites’ where there are some buildings that they move into when they move. Their clothing reflects that more nomadic lifestyle and they tend to not keep anything that can’t be carried easily.

There will be more probably… once I start actually hammering out full pieces, there will be for sure.

#wandering thoughts #somer writes #asks #Lu modern au #this is really all over the place #but I haven’t scrapped a lot yet #I’m still deciding on some things #like who will be with who when what happens #and what concepts will and won’t stay #I have a mini blurp written of Sky losing his shit in the intro for the adventure that I don’t know if I’m keeping #things like that #it’s really close to me starting to actually post though #I’ve got some things I’m putting together #i just keep struggling with warriors

you know i thought the name Nix Hydra was familiar but only now do i remember that i used to play their stupid fucking egg game (affectionate) when i was like 9

(i know i was at least 9 cause the newer version of this game released in 2016 and i played the old version and was around to witness it migrating to the new app)

now here i am more than half a decade later being insane about their queer visual novel dating simulator

how the time flies

#the arcana #sorry for being not normal it will happen again #fucking core memory unlocked #i should revisit Egg! #i remember i liked the original game better though #that one was called Egg Baby #idek #with my Arcana obsession it'll be fun to see any similarities in art style #things like that #i might post about it if i find anything particularly striking

More S4 thoughts about Billy chilling in his little house on the beach in Cali (the one he bought outright with his government hush money, of course), until he hears the news of the whole 'earth opening up and a ton of weird shit' happening again in Hawkins. And at first he smirks, glad that he's out of it, glad that all he has to worry about is how many entitled little shits he's gonna have signing up for surf lessons this month, and whether or not he set the VCR for Knight Rider.

But then he hears about Max. And it's mostly whispers and rumours, but it's enough to have him jumping in his car and racing the whole way back, barely stopping to sleep or eat, screeching into Hawkins and then storming right into the emergency centre, asking anyone and everyone for information on his sister, getting more and more worked up as he hears nothing but the same repeated lines about the 'proper process' from people who call him 'sir' and wave him away with pitying smiles.

And it's been a while since Billy got angry. He hasn't needed to, for the last few months. But it soon comes back to him, the familiar red mist falling over his eyes, as he stands in the middle of a row of cots and bellows at some poor soul brandishing a clipboard and a sign-in form.

And that's when Steve appears from out of the makeshift kitchen, summoned by the commotion. He's got a ratty dishtowel slung over one shoulder, and a smear of peanut butter on his cheek, but there's a calm, authoritative confidence in the way he rests a hand on Billy's shoulder, and says,

"C'mon, man, yelling at Gloria's not gonna get you anywhere. You got it all outta your system now? Good. So how about you come with me and help me finish up these sandwiches and I promise I'll explain everything."

And Billy does. A little sheepishly, he follows along and sits in a snug little backroom where Steve hands him a sandwich and a steaming mug of cocoa and, true to his word, he explains it. Everything. And Billy takes it all in, wide eyed but without saying a word -although he can't stop himself from gasping in shock when Steve talks about what happened to Max- and he's damn near shaking by the time Steve's finished, so Steve takes hold of his hand and squeezes it and says, so firmly, "She's getting better. She's fighting, every day. And you know how stubborn she is. Hey, must be something in the Cali water, man, cause, uh, you're also in damn fine shape for someone who died."

And there's no tact there, no gentle easing into it, but that's exactly why Billy's next gasp is one of laughter.

#harringrove #ish #oh it will be you know me! #it'll be billy staying at that rescue centre thing because he's not leaving without max #and seeing how competent and mature steve is now #watching him entertaining a toddler while her mom collects food parcels #or comforting an old man who still can't find his wife #things like that #and of course steve takes billy to the hospital every day after his shifts #goes with him and encourges him to talk to max #doesn't sugar coat how much she was grieving #makes sure billy knows he messed up by not letting her know what happened to him #tells billy to make it right #but helps him do it too #cherrywrites #st spoilers #s4 spoilers #(yes i forgot the word for the refuge thing they set up in the school and google is not helping!)

okay this is my perception of autism in ted lasso. my qualification is that i'm autistic.

characters that i think are definitely autistic:

trent

beard

roy

barbara

sharon

dani

nate

characters that i'm like hmmm might be touched with tism but i'm not sure

ted

jamie (a lot of people seem to headcanon autistic jamie)

could be persuaded about keeley but her social abilities are quite high so hmm like she does literally work in the field of making sure people perceive you positively. but she makes a lot sexual comments that aren't really appropriate usually and seems unaware or uncaring of this. so hmmmmmm.

also autism is not statistically that common so having that many autistic people in one place is kind of unlikely but for the sake of fun and entertainment and blorbo favorite characters i'll allow it

#see my thing with ted is i always thought he was intentionally choosing to break social rules #he'd do awkward things for like. a thought about reason #not because of ignorance #like he subs out jamie to teach him about team playing #he keeps coming to rebecca's office and asking questions because he's trying to break through her shell #things like that #it didn't give off the vibe that he didn't know what he was doing just that he chose to do it anyway #but i'm not against autistic ted i can see it and that would be fantastic #i'm just explaining why i didn't think of the idea myself #ted lasso #autistic ted lasso
