#this is a post spike would make

[grippingmoving]

#presented without comment #because i dont know what to say lmao #i mean this is almost exactly what i expected #but oof #Jason Todd #Bruce Wayne #dc #my post #i changed my mind #i have thoughts #doesnt this make him unable to even defend himself? #because that would spike his adrenaline #like someone tries to hurt him and he cant even fight back? #doesnt this mean he cant even get upset or angry even when it would be reasonable to do so because this would kick in? #oof oof oof

[thoughtsofahouseplant]

#the way I RAN to make this as soon as I saw that post #spuffy #btvs #buffy memes #also like. Spike WOULD say this #he would say this in multiple Spuffy Eras just in different tones but like it works in Multiple okay

[bloomfish]

so I like the concept of the cookie dough speech. I think, independently, it's a good conclusion for buffy to come to by the end of the series. However, the context... look, it's been pretty thoroughly established throughout the series that buffy and angel will never work. can never work. is it a great romance, does it make me feel for the characters, do i love the angst of it? yes absolutely. but why am I being told, despite being shown the opposite, that there's a chance in hell that buffy will end up with angel? why am I being told continually by the writing across both shows that a codependent teen romance between two people who like... barely know each other is what buffy should aspire to? for the rest of her life?

this insistence is such a detriment to the characters of both buffy and angel. each grew so much on their respective shows. i love both buffy and angel as characters. I love what their relationship means for their past and how it informs their characters moving forward. but god, just leave it there. framing buffy/angel as the truest love that will ever be, automatically eclipsing any other relationship either of them try to have, is honestly not great messaging. personally i will always be affected in some way by my first love, I think that's a normal, relatable experience. But there's no way that love is a viable part of my future, and it wouldn't be healthy for me to think so...

it also takes away from the meaning that people like spike and cordelia might have in their lives because whatever they do, however they grow to love each other, they'll always be 'consolation prize' to... what? buffy's high school relationship with an older guy? no thx

#like honestly why would she give angel the hope. what can they possibly expect to have in the future #thats what makes it such a good and angsty relationship! #it was established in iwry that it would not work if angel was human. cool. so their only option is sexless codependent angst #at constant risk of angel losing his soul at any time. bc it wasnt sex it was HAPPINESS. angel lost his soul post sex because he was happy #content in her arms. so by definition they can never be happy together. sux for angel but i dont want that for buffy #anyway #spuffy #anti bangel #again just in case. wild to love a ship so much but also b against it happening. im complex like that #btvs #btvs thoughts #like the only way for it to happen would be for angel to lose his soul and then fight for his soul the way spike did. #which soulless angel would never do. its impossible by design

[justafriendofxanders]

i go back and forth a lot on my interpretations of ats s5, ie. what parts of spike are 'in character' or not, but the one thing that stays constant is my belief that spike and angel fucking would have fixed most of this.

#not that it would have fixed their problems i just mean it would introduce new problems that i would find entertaining as a viewer #anyways i don't like saying a character would NOT say/do that but sometimes i'm not sure if he (spike) SHOULD do that #in terms of showing off the more interesting parts of a character while also carving out a unique arc/dynamic for him on a new tv show #ats rw #i think what's misunderstood about spike is that he's NOT a solo sigma male lone vigilante bad boy action hero #like i think angel is actually the one who has a history of isolating himself #but spike is your friend who always has to be in a relationship (which i think btvs got correct with harmony) #idk. i think oz has that line in btvs where he's like 'i gotta go do that guy thing where i isolate myself now' #and i think that gets transposed onto spike when he goes on the 'guy show' doing 'guy things' #and then kinda blended up with the tension that many of the guys on ats experience between #being a tough guy capable of doing things on his own versus the desire to belong in a crew #but like. that's not a 'guy' thing that applies to all men. that's a thing that certain individuals experience. and spike is not one of the #like i don't think spike cares about how he fits in with society or the collective but i think he DOES care about how individuals #he's close to perceive him #anyways. today on 'reading too much into a tv show that stopped airing 20 years ago' #i gotta make a separate post about this #buffyposting

the psychickers+satou+suzumiya have matching onesies of the mane six from mlp☠️ (it doesnt have to all fit their personalities, they just all pick a character they like)

and then i forcefully make it kubosai :3

saiki has twilight sparkle OBVIOUSLY and aiura gifts a sunset shimmer one to kuboyasu (who is very confused+has never seen the show but accepts it because at least saiki has one so it cant be something weird) because she knows saikis crushing on him and is also an avid sciset shipper☠️

they just wear them to sleepovers usually but now aiura keeps trying to invite kuboyasu+and some of the others so it wont be weird and tries to make them wear them IN FRONT OF EVERYONE ELSE (saiki never does but because of them arguing about it everyone now knows he has it so whats even the point😒)

#if youre wondering (ur not because nobody but me cares about this) #aiura is pinkie pie #toritsuka is rainbow dash #akechi is applejack #suzumiya is fluttershy #satou is rarity (def has also never seen the show so hii made him be the one she ships fluttershy with LOL) #satou would not normally be into this but hes a good bf #they def tried to make toritsuka be spike as a joke but didnt have someone else to be rainbow #this is also probably a not so subtle attempt from miko at getting kusuo to FULLY get over satou #her setting him up with his new crush so he cant be sad about the last failure anymore LOL #saiki k #tdlosk #the disastrous life of saiki k. #saiki kusuo #aiura mikoto #pk psychickers #kubosai #meows post #brony saiki kusuo

i guess this is what we're doing now

#my fanart #menos grande #skeleton drawing hours #they're shown in the order i drew them #i think no. 3 is the most on-model #but there's just something about no 2 #and no 1 is just so SCRUNGLY i couldn't not post them #or maybe they're just 3 separate menos with slightly different facial features!! #i almost forgot about their stupid spike ring #it was so hard to draw!! #perspective my beloathed #i think i might actually like them better without it #that's why no 2 is pictured without #just a little guys!! #(that's not a typo one menos = one guys. 'guys' is both plural and all-gender inclusive in this usage) #if this feels like it has big 'COULD A DEPRESSED PERSON MAKE THIS??' energy it's not exactly wrong but i AM doing much better this week #i almost wish i were still in therapy i would love to show this to my therapist

#idk why I bothered making that art queue post lmao I’m just coming up with different things to do instead #but I did check off the first one!! anyways #apple picking … pumpkin carving with their son who loves knives … dressing up (in costumes furnished by cousin barnabas of course) … #rog would be so damn annoying about going on a hayride but v could talk him into it (rewarded with spiked cider) #➤ ooc. ┊ she’s nauseous，she’s hysterical，and she’s exhausted. #oh and you Know liz makes him help with the groundswork after Matthew so like. raking leaves together :’) #and David jumping in them and pissing him off but then v joins in and suddenly well it’s very cute. but he pretends to be annoyed anyway

So I’m like almost done with Season 7 and got super impatient with whatever is happening with these damn Dragons so I looked up the official Fairy Tail timeline and. My god.

Learning that 1. Natsu is the oldest by a lot in canon and 2. if all had gone okay Erza would have been younger than Wendy really put my brain into some Dummy Mode so here we are.

I’m calling this the Childhood Friend’s AU and putting info under the cut

So I changed like a lot of things I wanted to mess with canon ages, so I needed t visit the timeline eventually anyway. Here’s about how it goes: 

The dragon slayers, after traveling through time, stay together, now with a new born and newly abandoned baby Erza. They still don’t remember what really happened to their parents, and are still looking for them, but now together and with a baby, which makes travel difficult.

Natsu, as the oldest, is doing his best to look out for everyone, as Igneel told him to. He finds hiding spots for them, hunts for and cooks the food, keeps everyone training with their magic, and cares for Erza to the best of his abilities.

But he’s still Natsu.

After getting chased out of yet ANOTHER town for damages, theft, and noise complaints, the Dragon kids find themselves hiding in the yard of the Heartfilia family, where they’re eventually found by Lucy.

If Lucy’s mom was still around she’d probably tell her parents right away about the beat up, tired, hungry homeless kids she found in the garden, but sense it’s just her, her dad, and the staff in the mansion, she decides against it, opting instead to summon Aquarius and ask her advice.

She does eventually end up telling the staff, just because it gets hard for her to sneak enough food out for all of them without Someone taking notice.

The dragon slayers are raised pretty much in secret around the mansion by the Staff and Aquarius, who passes through the gate with her own magic to take care of Erza when a handful of toddlers can’t, which is often.

That’s... about all I’ve thought about. Little bonus thoughts

I aged Natsu and Gajeel down quiet a bit, sense they’re approximately 12 when they get yeeted into the future in canon. I believe Sting and Rouge are Wendy aged though.

Metalicana uses She/Her and is Gajeel’s mom.

Weisslogia and Skiadrum are Dragon Married and raised Rouge and Sting together. They also didn’t twist their kids memories to make them think they killed them because Jesus Christ guys What The Fuck.

Rouge is Transgender and is still a little girl when thrown forward in time, he starts to transition in his teens

Wendy is very protective over Gajeel, same way Sting is protective over Rouge. She’s also usually the one to comfort him. When they get older Gajeel finds the whole ordeal really embarrassing.

Everyone dotes on Erza and as she gets older she gets rather embarrassed by it

Rouge outgrew Sting when they turned 6 and started slouching because he found a lot of comfort in being the same height as his brother. When they finally stop growing they’re on complete opposites of the height scale with Rouge being the tallest in the group and Sting being the shortest.

Also in this AU, Ultear gets to go home

She’s an incredibly short 12 years old due to all the experiments, compared to Grey who’s 8 and Lyon who’s 9. And Ur doesn’t die. Grey still has a lot of trauma around Deliora but he’s the youngest child now he doesn’t have the energy to go fight god. And Ultear would beat him upside the head for trying. Get your ass back in here you are Eight you are not fighting a mega demon on your own.

#Emile's Arts #Fairy Tail #Fairy Tail AU #Childhood Friends AU #There that's fine that'll make this post easy to find again #I was looking up Baby Refs for this and found a single image of baby Gajeel still with piercings in his face #And decided to replace that instantly with spikes jelwery #Which don't get it twisted isn't edgy it's the equivalent of candy jewelry to him #Crybaby Gajeel is my everything he is sad he misses him mommy he cries most every day about it and needs to be comforted by a 5 year old #I learned Erza in an everything is fine AU would be the youngest of the main cast and I had to do something with that #Baby Erza baby Erza #Everyone doing their Dragon Roars and she's plopped at the end of the line and goes 'Rawr' and everyone pretends to get hit and falls over #Big Brother Natsu I'm sorry I'm obsessed with how Natsu interacts with children in canon

spike was in joyce and dawn’s book club too actually, i’ve just decided

#but really he WAS!!!!! #he'd come up with all the book suggestions #cause he's basically read anything that's ever been written and he knows exactly what his girls would like #buffy never finds out cause they all know she wouldn't like it and it ends when joyce passes away obviously #but some time post series when they're all a happy family dawn mentions to spike that they should start it up again #and it fills buffy with this weird sense of warmth to find out that spike and her mother were actually closer than she knew #because she's been thinking about how sad it was that her mother never got to know the spike she eventually fell in love with #but hearing about this makes her think that maybe she did know him all along #btvs #spike #spuffy #*btvs

not me importing my anti-air defense worldbuilding h/cs into ishgard bc I can

#saint.txt #long post #ishgardposting #tl;dr in my personal project one of the big things is that (one) military has had to evolve alongside gryphon riders for a long long time #who's biggest threat are information gathering and the fact they drop flechettes and are nigh-untouchable by anything even each other #even with firearms (which are still very early tech-wise) so anti-air defense is paramount #the biggest results being that *everything* has a roof on it to mitigate stuff falling from the sky. #cities are cramped and avoid open space as much as possible. anti-bird spikes but scaled up on steep roofs so that birds can't land. #buildings are made of non-flammable material like stone when possible. open areas exist mostly as corral zones so that tired birds #must land there and can be easily surrounded on the ground. #but the flashiest is killwire which is basically just wire strung between tall buildings that discourages flight below a certain level #and is difficult to see especially at speed or at night #and if you hit it. well. the idea is based off motorcycle accidents where people have hit wire fences on farms so I'm sure you get the idea #not all of it will apply to Ish.gard but I highly believe that's exactly why Ish.gard is 98% built out of stone #as are all their forts and important structures like bridges. I also believe realistically most streets should be roofed if possible #and open space is kept at a minimum even if daniffen's ward exists. anti-dragon spikes consisting of slots to put lances in on roofs. #Ish.gard might not even have much of a need for 'traditional' forts with huge walls and such bc 90% of their enemies fly so their fort #designs might get a little wild after 1000 years of war. w/ magitek via stephva.nivien you might even electrify the killwire. #ofc some of it already seems to exist - ish.gard's roofs and spires are built *very* steep which would make a dravanian landing on them #difficult and even without that most of them are covered in spires and spikes anyway but. ofc there's the dragonkillers and such too but #ish.gard is a city built on 1000 years of war and hyperspecialized to fighting dragons that fly we really could make it look like that too. #I want to walk into ishgard and immediately know this is a place built on war bc everything about it is hyperspecialized and utilitarian #to fulfill that purpose. look up in ishgard and the stars are replaced with glittering wire.

so tired of people complaining about “untagged” tcest and then freely admitting to not reading tags. it probably wasnt untagged, then. <3

#ive had Several people vague about my fics because they were upset there was ‘untagged’ tcest or sa themes. #or they were upset at Me the author because they didnt read the tags. and then told tcestors (freaks) to go make their own website. #after uploading ‘ao3 tutorials’ in the next breath. #listen im not for gatekeeping but im for gatekeeping on this one until they realize the purpose of ao3 #ive also seen people get mad at ao3 for suspending accs with ‘tcest dni’ tags because ‘ao3 banning tags would go against the purpose’ #but. dddne content should be banned. #ok 👍 #idk man ive just been uptight lately. every time one of my fics gets a spike in views & comments i have to check tiktok to see who posted #abt my fic and how many comments im gonna have to delete on my darker works #ramble #vent
