#which is very funny

[plaguedocboi]

Shoutout to the person who sent me a singular image of furry porn accompanied by the text “9” and then either deactivated or blocked me. And I mean that genuinely I’m not even mad I just love the chaos of this website

#I can’t reply or look at their blog so I’m guessing they immediately blocked me after sending it #which is very funny #thanks?

I've been watching Hilda since 2018 but just started getting into fandom stuff after season 3 and I've never seen a fandom that feels so big and so small at the same time

also you're everywhere in here

i feel like you're singlehandedly keeping the fandom alive aksjdj

WABSBJD LMAO I get around 😎 only fandom space I’m not too active on rn is Instagram cause that place overwhelms me lol? Partially bc my follower count their blew up over one (1) reel so my follower count is very disproportionate to my interactivity and that unpredictably stresses me but ANYWAYS I like being active in different spaces to reach different ppl to interact with :)

Also YEAH i feel that too abt the fandom feeling big n small at the same time!! It’s a unique lil space, small enough o be, yk, small, but not at all inactive! Full of surprises yk

#ty for the ask! #this fandom being the size it is makes it difficult to tell HOW known I or anyone in the fandom is #which is very funny #I think I’m VAUGLEY known #I usually have at least one person recognise me when I join a discord server which is nice #hilda #hilda the series #netflix hilda #hilda netflix #ask #anon #textpost

im curious how you envision lightning ending up in radiator springs in the human-verse. i don't think you've mentioned it in any of your fics (except maybe that one chapter of whumptober). if you have put absolutely no thought into it that ignore this lol

I spent all day thinking about this

So. I have left.... .. Many things ambiguous cause I couldn't figure out how to make it fit exactly in the human!verse side of things XD

But I, like everyone else, have Thoughts:

Let's start with the trailers: so there are some very obvious differences in my human!verse and NASCAR, though I do take a lot of inspiration from irl racing (mainly the racing aspect itself). But where a lot of NASCAR drivers fly to their races, most of the guys in the human!verse here will ride in a trailer, either in the same trailer as their cars (basically a small room just for them tucked in the very back of the trailer closest to the truck part) or in a separate trailer that's very RV-like, depending on how much $$$ the sponsors want to spend. so, for example, Dinoco obviously would go the two-trailer way if not just outright flying the King out to a race if it's far (or with Cal's run, just opt to go the RV route since the two are family and live together easier than a lot of crew chief/driver combos can), where early on Rust-Eze isn't going to or has the money to spend on buying rookie Lightning a whole other trailer, especially if he doesn't have a crew chief sharing the space with him. So for his rookie year he's staying in a small, cramped trailer room that's very reminiscent of a small, pop-up camper room if you've ever stayed in one of those. It's got the bare minimum and the door opens along the side to the outside world or directly into the trailer where the car is.

my crude representation

The car, usually packed up by the pit crew, has to be secured by Mack this time, who is used to securing regular cargo from his past jobs and does not tie down the wheels correctly. there is no pit crew to double check and lightning, who does know how to do it properly, is too prissy to check it himself.

And lightning, being the drama (mc)queen he is, will sometimes opt to sit in the car in the trailer rather than the cramped bedroom (not that the car is any less cramped with the way the seat is but it's his happy place whether he'll admit it or not)

And same as the movie, he promises he'll stay up with Mack and falls asleep anyways, just in the driver's seat of the car (impressive, since those are Not comfy and he's still in his fire suit from earlier (stinky boy))

And same as movie, one of those toys on the shelves falls and opens the back door when Mack falls asleep behind the wheel and ends up in the rumble strips. The car, secured incorrectly, gets shaken out of the straps and starts creeping down the ramp until it ends up stock-still and facing backwards on an active highway.

Which is Bad news.

Lightning wakes to cars dodging him and he manages to start the car and whip it around in an adrenaline-fueled record time.

Mack is gone

And (because it's funny) Lightning's drivers licence is useless here (it's a Florida license and as someone who held a fl license for a while, in some places they do not give a fuck, they'll pretty much throw that thing at you and call for the next person) so it's been, oh, a few years since he's been behind the wheel of a car in a real road (I hc him as somewhere around 23-24 in the first movie) and between that and the adrenaline, he can't remember how to read the road signs to tell him where to go (and it's not like any of them are saying LA yet, theyre still a ways out.)

The rest of his chaotic journey through to RS is the same in the movie just cause that's my favorite scene in the movie and idc if it'd be impossible in real life. it's fun.

And I'm torn with Mack's side of things between not changing it and him stopping at a rest stop, getting something from inside, and as he comes back out seeing the back open and panicking bc he thinks someone stole the 95, only to then find Lightning missing and then thinking someone stole the 95 *and* kidnapped Lightning. Poor Mack.

So yeah. This was mostly me talking through the logistics of how trailers work in my human!verse but I feel like that's really important to how I imagine Lightning ending up in RS. Of course, after doc and everyone joins, Rust-Eze splurges on a whole other RV-like trailer for Lightning and Doc, with the others usually being put up in a hotel nearby or something. Rust-Eze not having an RV trailer is why in 'beginning another end' Doc and Lightning stay in a motel overnight. Even though Mack and the 95 trailer were still there, Lightning hates the little bedroom and opted to stay in a shitty motel room w Doc instead (also he has separation anxiety lol)

And in 'straight and narrow' lightning sits up in the front with poor Mack (who usually sleeps in the attached bedroom on the truck cab, which is not too dissimilar to Lightning's trailer room, just that Lightning has a smidge more standing room in his)

(So in my fics, when I say 'trailer' it's usually referring to something like an RV bus. Who drives it? Idk yall just roll with it lol)

Basically this puzzle boiled down to:

How does lightning end up separated from Mack and the trailer?

How does the car end up separated from the trailer?

How do the two get separated together?

How does Mack not notice until LA (or sooner, depending)?

I lean this way personally rather than the other popular version (also the movie writers' original version of events i believe) where lightning is accidentally left behind at a rest stop (which is also very valid!!) just because personally it doesn't answer more questions for me than it generates (but my alt events for Mack kind of pays homage to it bc it's still a very good version of events).

Lightning being separated with the car is important for obvious reasons and the og movie had a plausible swiss-cheese of events, so all I think it needs is some light tweaking before we got something just as (humanly ;)) plausible on our hands.

I have no idea if this answers your question or if I just went on the most unhinged ramble :)

#mine #cars fandom #i wrote this out on an early flight to Atlanta this morning and spent my afternoon doing the artists renditions lol #also yes the Swiss cheese model is safety is a thing! #i mostly hear about it in aviation safety (my special interest) as people literally refer to things as holes in the swiss cheese #which is very funny #the images all have alt text btw if that helps

One of the beauties of Claude and Lorenz as a ship is the completely uneven stakes they’re perceiving in this.

Lorenz is living in a high stakes spy thriller where an Almyran subterfuge agent has infiltrated their government at its highest seat of power and garnered the affections of an heir to the one other seat of power that can keep the Almyran Menace(tm) at bay. He alone sees the threat this man poses to their country, nay, continent, and yet he finds himself growing feelings of affection for this man, and even some trust, despite his continued insistence upon lying to him at every turn.

Claude on the other hand is just like uh oh he’s activated my debate kink. At first I thought he was just an ugly annoying prudish nationalist but is it just me or is he kind of sexy? This game of chess is getting a little homoerotic. He’s a little pathetic. I can’t believe I’m going to fuck him.

#claurenz #fe3h #claude von riegen #lorenz hellman gloucester #there is actually considerable depths to Claude’s feelings and conflict on this relationship #but the stakes for him are very personal #whereas Lorenz’s stakes remain If I Choose To Trust Him And Am Wrong I’ve Doomed My Nation #which is very funny #but also I think people fail to realize the stakes in Lorenz’s distrust of Claude #because he’s a bit of a classist nationalist asshole #but he’s those things with the very best of intention in mind #just raised in a house of nonstop propaganda for that ideology #anyway I love them both and I will never know why this ship isn’t more popular #that’s a lie it’s because Lorenz isn’t conventionally attractive #anyway ship hilclaurenz it’s fun and the three of them bring out the best in each other #player phase.txt

ive made the executive decision to make finn also a mew mew in my funny tokyo mew mew au. why? for fun

#eli.txt #also since i would. be portraying deirdre and sigurd as teens in this au so the story still works this would make finn and lachesis like. #middle schoolers at best. #which is VERY funny

[personalzombie-tv]

"oh it's a popular AU, it won't be too hard to find the zombie apocalypse fics in this fandom" I said, fully aware there's a character called ZombieCleo and that just dropping the word zombie into the filters search box will bring up all instances of the word zombie. Including ones part of another word. That includes names.

I'm a fool in the shape of a dog. I already have this problem with my own cubito being called Zombie in game! I can never tell if they're talking to me or yelling about the mob come on now

#this is making me realize if my work does take off to any extent i will be the problem one day #which is very funny #oh the dog called zombie likes zombe apocalypse aus who would have guessed #eh its fine ill just hope all the hermitcraft writers tagged it propperly and also read a bunch of cleo fics i guess #no downsides tbh

anathema is a beautiful name for a baby girl

#and that is the actual canon reason that anathema device is named anathema #i swear the first time i read the book i completely 100% mispronounced that #ana-THEE-ma #ghdgbdjcjx #but no it's aNAthema #and it means: someone or something intensely disliked or loathed OR someone or something intensely disliked or loathed #(definitions courtesy of meriam webster) #which is very funny #and most definitely on purpose i suspect #bluebird.txt #good omens #i have to stop reading and listening to things made by british people i'm starting to write like them 😔 /hj

This is straight up art 😩🤌🏻, I searched naga stories and found some fun but this one is just gold! I loved Amren with all my heart though I feel the same about Irwin- maybe you didn't mean to romanticize the relationship between him and the reader but this guy around the place is a green flag I love him with all my heart his the best!, I wanted to ask when is the next chapter? Thank you for your great work 💕

Thank you! I'm glad you like both my bois C: indeed the reader's relationship with Irwin is planned as platonic at the course of tga, but I can understand why it'd read another way, hah. It'll actually come up later as well. Irwin is just extremely physically affectionate and 100% comfortable being very close with his friends, there is no escaping his arms. Tho if you like to think they have been romantically involved at some point then sure, I wont stop you C:

As for chapters, welll currently tga is like. 52k? around half of that is on the hellsite rn. And its nowhere near finished. All that extra stuff means I need to tie a lot of things together, and I'm careful of releasing stuff in a way so I don't have to go back to posted chapters and revise, lmao. I can't exactly say something like ''new chapter every monday'' because of that ^^' I'll try to keep it steady, though, but pacing may be a little off <3

#fun fact I looked it up and apparently Irwins name means 'boar friend' #which is VERY funny #and a little sad #TGA #colderspeaks #huh now I wanna do a spinoff where you get to date Irwin #my grumpy snake boi needs attention as well tho #he will soon realize that for himself #and then its basically out of my hands #but what can ya do

If you want to headcanon Stanley’s last name as “Rider,” please feel free to continue! But I hadn’t seen anyone post about what a rider actually is (an artist’s requirements for the venue they’ll be performing at). There are a lot of jokes about riders being full of diva-esque demands, and just as many think pieces about how they’re serious tools used to maintain performer safety.

The Narrator is taking the backstage setting SO seriously in implying that Stanley has a rider, and it just boggles my mind thinking about what he would joke that Stanley would put in it. A second dressing room for the bucket? A demand to have all yellow buttons removed from the backstage?

#once again I am NOT finger-wagging at any headcanons #‘Stanley Rider’ is a cool name and I like it! #I just wanted you all to be in on the joke too #Also now it might be ‘Stanley Rider’s Rider’ #which is VERY FUNNY #The Stanley Parable

no fr isn't the whole point of ender's game that the kid is super good at war but is horrified when he realizes the true cost of it? and is traumatized by his own actions?

sigh. yeah, that's the entire point of the story. it's not what the author believed, though.

according to what i've read the author uses the story of ender's game, a story of prepubescent children slaughtering innocents and each other in the guise of a video game, to showcase that the horrors of war are worth it. and i'm sure if you have half a brain, this reading doesn't make any goddamn sense to you, even though it's the intended one. like, what was the point of that ending, if the message wasn't supposed to be anti-war? you'd have to be a literal fascist to think that war was good. and. well. sadly, if the shoe fits.

#ask #anon #my english teacher in high school hated the author of this book #oddly enough not for his weird ass fascist militaristic views #but because they had some sort of personal beef and she considered him a sellout #which is very funny
