Ok it’s not letting me like officially tag her but @camel-kong’s tags gave me the inch I needed to bitch about the au episode. Ppl talking about who died or what impacted it or what the real change was are blowing me bc the REAL au has to be that it’s a world where the council would care about a dead kid from zaun. I was talking to my brother about this and for the changes to be so significant the real alternate universe had to be that the explosion blew up the entire block and everyone in it and maybe a councilor was visiting that day if we’re stretching - bc ur telling me they stopped the production of hextech over jayce? Over VI! Like yes they weren’t aware of its true potential or whatever but even a weapon of that magnitude means more than one dead kid especially a dead kid from the UNDERCITY!! The au just doesn’t work for me bc it affords the council and piltover in general a benefit of the doubt that they not only haven’t earned - but have proven time and time again they don’t fucking deserve. Like it’s the equivalent of saying if politicians knew how bad poor poc felt they’d stop- like hello?
#I’ve been saying#when ppl respond to arcane dropped the ball on the classism plotline with it wasn’t supposed to be resolved they’re missing the point#i was gonna say they defanged classism and the classists but that’s not even correct bc the cruelty and double standards are shown#It’s not defanging it’s showing it to you and spinning it as not that bad#like ppl talk about the thesis of the show being how far will we go for love and yeah but they act like any criticism of the vehicles used#to explore that is missing the point and it’s not#okay put classism on the backburner sure but the sheer effort or lack thereof it takes to have ppl reach conclusion that one death is the#turning point#It’s butterfly effect yeah but that’s not how classism works#the butterfly is maybe a council member getting a hug as a kid that they didn’t in the regular verse and now they’re nicer#and if IVE said it once I’ve said it a thousand times#i dont like shows using bigotry to explore other things and then not properly dealing with the bigotry#ok colonialism is the vehicle for familial issues#the familial issues are dealt with so the dictator is the quirky uncle sitting at the dinner table grumbling about how glorious everything#could’ve been?#AFTER showing oppressed groups being absolutely brutalized?#It’s a bias I don’t think they even realize#that oppressed bodies Can just tank more on screen and it doesn’t matter it’s kind of sick#and Im tired of ppl using love care and community to Dodge these conversations#sometimes there is love there and we can’t show it bc we’re worried about trying to fucking survive#sometimes there is love there but it cannot overshadow the physical conditions under which we exist.#sometimes there can’t be love there bc you fundamentally see me and mine as less.#sometimes the love isn’t real bc since birth me and mine have seen you and yours as more#Uhm anyways ty for letting me yap I’ll prolly talk about this a million more times ty floodgates

“miguel is basically telling miles that he has to just stand there and let his dad die” NO. SHUT UP. THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT IS THAT MILES CAN’T SAVE HIS DAD. THE WHOLE LESSON IS THAT HE CAN’T SAVE EVERYONE.

This is what I do instead of sleeping, or homework, or working on the other animation I already started.
This is for a fic I doubt I’ll post, since really it’s mixing to fics that I like into one
But I still crave validation
Edit: It was supposed to be video 😅

With the popularity of Planet of the Bass I've noticed a lot of people getting eurobeat and eurodance confused. This is understandable but also REALLY funny to me as a eurobeat girlie. Reigning Eurobeat queen Odyssey (you may know her as the girl behind "Discord I'm howlin at the moon") has a good Twitter thread on the subject, but to add my own summary that's hopefully not too jargon-y:
It's PROBABLY EUROBEAT if:
Main lyrical themes are cars/driving/going Very Fast, Touhou, My Little Pony, or Japan (though the latter is more of a grey area since Japan comes up as a theme in some eurodance as well)
Between every verse is a synthesizer riff that sounds too fast to ever possibly be played live by human hands
There's a section where all but the last word or so of every line is omitted (this is where "dancing, we wanna feel the light is flashing, I send the power to myself" becomes "dancing... flashing... to myself")
There's an electric guitar solo (may or may not be synthesized)
The rhythm is a straight four-on-the-floor beat, aka it sounds like WOMP WOMP WOMP WOMP
There's car vroom vroom sound effects
It's PROBABLY EURODANCE (at least as opposed to eurobeat) if:
There's a rapper
Themes include world peace or partying (there are SOME party eurobeat songs but not as many, and it's not like eurobeat is pro-war, they're just driving too fast to think about it)
It's more downtempo
The rhythm is a shuffle beat, aka it sounds like WA-WOMP WA-WOMP
It's in a language other than English or Japanese
It's DEFINITELY eurobeat if:
The YouTube thumbnail looks like this or otherwise involves an anime character and a car
Tumblr media
Eurobeat songs you may know include Running in the 90s, Deja Vu, Gas Gas Gas, The Top, Night of Fire, and an honorable mention to The Living Tombstone's remix of Odyssey's eurobeat remix of Discord.
Eurodance songs you may know include Every Time We Touch, Butterfly, Caramelldansen, Cotton-Eye Joe (yes, really!), Dragostea Din Tei, and Blue.
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!!

Tumblr media
he tongues his teeth almost aggressively, desperately clawing for any words to say that could've possibly been the right thing in this conversation. and in turn would his lips purse in an unreadable expression, he shifts to lay on his back and stare up at the vast, pale blue sky. the wisps of white and the planes that flew high above. they were all so little, in the grand scheme of it all.
" it is. you're fucked for thinking like that. " a chuckle, something meant to be humorous but it's grating instead, so he lets it die. " i hope there's a system. maybe something to plea to, so that he could get you in that freak scenario. maybe you could become property of ua or something, and they'll have pity on the poor souls that have to live with yet another death, and then they'll give us the urn, and then we'll all finally fucking - get to graduate together. what an irrational scenario, huh? "
Tumblr media
❝ YEAH. ❞ THE WORD IS SPOKEN softly, free of the usual spark of playful aggression. of course he hasn't thought about it — none of them have. they're all forced to grow up too fast, but persephone had one hell of a head start on that. ❝ i was wondering today who they'll send the ashes to if i die. since our parents aren't — there, and orion's not an adult yet. isn't that kind of fucked? ❞

Paris, June 2012.
As the new face of Dior, your appearance on the front row of their runway show is paramount. You’re not just there because you have to, you’re there because you love it. It’s equally important that you are well-versed in the thoughts behind next season’s trends of the fashion house. The fashion show is as much a celebration of craftsmanship as it is a coveted social event, and you’re oh so happy to be a part of it.
Or so you said in your Vogue cover story. 
In reality, you’re getting decked out and posing for pictures and scrutinizing the details of every look that comes out because it’s a job. Sitting next to some buff dude in a manbun that barely gives you enough space for yourself.
His broad shoulder bumps against yours, effectively snapping you out of your reverie. “Oh, sorry.”
You’re about to murmur a politely dismissive remark, but it all fades away when you see his face, profile-first. It’s been almost a full year since you last saw that silhouette. There’s no way of forgetting it, even underneath the dramatic lights of the runway, not even if you tried. 
“It’s you,” you breathe out, all wide-eyed and slack-jawed like an idiot in front of him.
He hears you before he sees you, really sees you, and his heart nearly stops. Of course! You’re right under his nose, and he didn’t see you. And how he yearned to see you since that night in London. How he wanted to lay it all out on the line, pour his heart out, but instead what comes out is…
“It’s me.”
The whole world starts again, pretty people milling back around as you blink. Warmth returns to your face, as you finally regain some sense. “Art!”
He murmurs your name as he hugs you, and he never wants to let go. He wants you to fucking come home with him because home doesn’t make sense until you’re here.
“Wow…” he flashes that signature crooked smile as he marvels at you—not stare, marvel. “What are the odds, huh?”
“I know!” You fight the flight of the butterflies in your stomach, but it’s impossible. “You grew your hair out, huh?”
“Yeah, just… trying something new.” His hand reaches up to the back of his neck sheepishly. 
The blond mop no longer frames his face like Apollo incarnate. You can actually see his face better now with his hair pulled back. The depth of his eyes, and the soft parenthesis of his smile. But at the same time, his facial features look… a little heavier now. A little older. More mysterious.
But of course, you can’t say any of that to him, so you settle with, “Well, you look great.”
Art lets out a breath he didn’t even realize he was holding. He’s rocked this look for a while now, but he wants—no, needs— you to like it.
“I heard you won the French Open, by the way. Congratulations.” Your hand lands on his shoulder, much like the last time you saw him, but neither of you address it. Not outwardly, anyway.
(If his heart flutters, he hopes you won’t notice.)
“Ah well, it’s… yeah. Thanks!” He can’t help but light up. He wonders if Wimbledon has hooked you into tennis, or maybe, just maybe, you were keeping up with him…? “What have you been up to?”
“I’ve just been in the studio a lot. Recording, mixing, mastering the new album…  boring shit.”
Art shakes his head. He doesn’t believe anything you do is boring. “When’s that coming out?”
“November. And if all goes well, we’re gonna tour it next summer.”
“Holy shit.”
“You know what they say. The devil works hard…”
But this unstoppable force of nature in front of him works harder. It has been almost a year since you last saw him. Eleven months and some 20-odd days since you shared that cigarette on that balcony. Since you broke his heart. And he still looks at you like a goddamn miracle. It disarms the fuck out of you.
“Hey, listen—”
“There you are!” a tall, leggy blonde cuts him off mid-sentence with a kiss to Art’s cheek, rambling in German as she takes the empty seat on his other side.
Fuck. 
Art replies back to her in German, a little more hushed, but your head is already reeling. You don’t know what to make of this feeling in your gut—it squeezes you from the side, and twists you all the way to your throat. Like wringing the air out of you. 
Art smiles almost apologetically at you, his hand falling on the woman’s knee. “Yeah, this is… Tatiana, my girlfriend.”
You exchange pleasantries and shake hands. Maybe. It’s all a blur and you’re fighting tooth and nail to stay present in this conversation. 
You manage a smile, pushing through the ache of trying to sound courteous. Friendly. Normal. “I was just telling Art that I’m going on tour this summer. You guys should definitely come to a show.” Emphasis on ‘you guys’.
Art opens his mouth, but Tatiana goes ahead and answers for him. Her glossy lips pull up into a smile that doesn’t reach her eyes. She doesn’t even bother hiding it. “Hm, we’ll see. Art is very busy with his own tour, you see.”
“Of course. For sure.” You nod at Tatiana, getting the message. Your gaze barely grazes Art, even though you want nothing more than to reacquaint yourself with his features.
Art watches you turn away, fixing your gaze towards the runway, and his heart aches. The way his hand rests on Tatiana feels cold—he might as well be resting his hand on a railing. 
He keeps his gaze straight ahead at the models coming and going the entire show. And if he accidentally catches a glimpse of your profile, or your manicured hand when he looks down on his lap, he’ll take what he can get. God knows he doesn’t get to ask for anything for more. 
*****
The Dior afterparty is held in some French chalet, and after making the rounds with Tatiana, Art feels himself disengaging from the group conversation altogether. He mutters out an excuse to get a breather and wanders up the winding staircase. There are still people along the hallway, chatting and drinking by old-ass paintings and bust statues and tall vases. 
Art takes a gamble and opens a door, simply eager for some peace and quiet. The knob gives and the room is dark, save for a large bay window on the other side, the moon shining bright… and the girl sitting there.
“Hey, room’s taken!” You flick the ash off of your cigarette out the window, ready to fend for your occupation. But then you catch a glimpse of his face in the light, and you relax. “Oh. It’s you.”
Art feels his face flush. He really should back the fuck off and leave, but his feet only bring him closer and closer to you into the room. “Sorry, I was just trying to find someplace quiet. I didn’t realize…” he cuts himself off when he sees the cigarette between your fingers, and he chuckles.
“What? You know I smoke.”
“A woman of taste, huh?” His eyes flicker to the pack propped on the windowsill in amusement and he wonders if you smoked Marlboro Green because of him (You do.)
You grab the pack and slide a cigarette out for his easy access, but he doesn’t take it. Not right away. Shit, was this a bad idea? Does he not smoke anymore? “Come on, your secret’s safe with me.”
Art takes another look at the cigarette, then at the door. He raises his forefinger in wait, going over to shut the door closed and then rushing over to you with a mischievous smirk at the cigarette. He looks like a kid, giddily settling in for a forbidden vice. 
This time, you’re the one leaning over to light his cigarette. His hair falls over the other side of his face, and you watch him tuck the loose strand behind his ear. His eyelashes resting on his skin as he takes that delightful first drag. He can feel the nicotine hitting him straight to his head, and that’s how he wants to consume you.
You settle back in your seat against the wall, the smoking hand hanging out the window, and Art does the same. He sees your legs folded over to the side, almost touching him, and he has half the mind to pull them over his lap.
“It’s been a minute, huh, Art?” You take another drag, trying to calm your nerves down a little.
“Yeah, it really has.” He throws away his smile up at the moon, amused at how familiar this is. “Why are you hiding out here?”
”My shoes are killing me.” You absently massage your ankle with your free hand, throwing a sideways glance at your pair of So Kate’s on the floor. “And my social battery’s shot down.”
”That’s not very Dionysian of you.”
It makes you smile. He still remembers (though, in his defense, the whole encounter last year was pretty hard to forget). “I beg to differ.” You lift up a bottle of Moët that you stole downstairs. 
Art’s smile widens as he makes a grabby hand at the champagne. You happily hand it to him, fingers barely grazing against him. He takes a swig and thinks, let me just steal your kiss from the lip of the bottle. It tastes better than the five other glasses he had back at the party.
“So how have you been?”
An easy question for a loaded answer. Art shrugs. “Ah well, you know. Still training, still competing…”
“You still pushing that rock uphill, huh?” You can’t fight the knowing grin on your face.
Art groans with a haze of smoke in his wake, leaning back against the wall. “Ugh, don’t remind me. I’m all about that Sisyphean grind.”
“Shut the fuck up!” The words fly out of your mouth, and it makes him laugh. And you can’t help but laugh with him. “You just won the French Open. Isn’t that like a—what do you call it, a… Grand Slam right there?”
He raises his eyebrows at you, impressed at your improved tennis knowledge. Maybe Wimbledon did hook you in. “Yeah, well… I still need to win the US Open. It’s the only one that counts, right?” 
It’s absolutely ridiculous, Art knows that, but until then… There's no rest for the wicked like him. And you see right through him. It’s almost like looking in the mirror sometimes.
You roll your eyes, and he thinks it’s the cutest thing ever. “What are you, pressed for time? Relax. You’ll get there.”
“Fair point.” Art nods, hiding his flush in another swig of champagne. “In that case, things are pretty good. Training is good, I’m winning matches, hoping to win more…” he pauses, tucking a loose strand of gold waves behind his ear, “Tatiana and I are doing… well.”
He sounds almost regretful when he says it. But then again, you’ve gotten pretty good at gaslighting yourself into thinking it’s all in your head.
“That’s good,” you settle with a neutrally encouraging response. “She seems nice.”
This time, Art gives you the look. And he always looks so smug when he does it too—the little head tilt, the crooked smirk he’s sporting like he’s excited to get the rare leg up from you. It’s adorable.
So you relent, taking the champagne and chasing it with a huff of smoke.
“I’m sorry about Tatiana this afternoon, by the way. Didn’t realize she would be so…” he grimaces as he struggles to find the right word. Domineering? Territorial? Just outright bitchy?
“Nah, it’s fine. I just chalked it up to her… German predisposition, that’s all,” you deadpan, tapping the ash of your cigarette out the window.
“You’re horrible.” Art grins. He loves it.
There’s that smile you’ve been missing. “Besides, I didn’t know you speak the language.”
“I can get by. My coach is German, my best friend speaks German… I’ve been picking up more from Tatiana, but it’s mostly just… angry.”
His words make you frown. That doesn’t sound like a very happy relationship, if your girlfriend keeps shouting angry shit at you in her native language. Art is perfectly aware that you’re catching on.
And again, it feels like the two of you are operating on two levels of communications. The first one is whatever is spouted out of your mouths, and the second through these wordless looks that say so much more. With every exchange, there’s always a choice; to stay on the surface, or dive in.
Maybe it’s the sparkling liquid courage, or the white haze you share in this little nook, but your next response is neither a safe bet nor a daring risk.
“Do you guys fuck in German? Because that can’t be sexy.”
He cracks up, caught completely off-guard by your question. Leave it to you to always keep him on his toes. “No! God no. Absolutely not. That would be terrible.”
“I can imagine! Like, what would you even say?” You sit up to put on your worst voice possible, but making it breathy and porny, “Ja… ja… ooh, scheisse… oh, ich komme!”
Art bursts out laughing. A true laugh that comes from the belly. The kind that makes his face open up. “What in the Hitler was that?!” He keels over in absolute stitches.
“I mean, I don’t know!” 
The two of you laugh longer than it’s funny, like you’re both relieved from this charade of civil acquaintanceship and finally free to be who you truly are.
Which, in this case, means immature goddamn giggly children. 
Art relishes in this warmth. He has missed this so much, that he nearly forgot he never had this with you in the first place. His face softens. “What about you?”
“Oh, I don’t talk dirty in German. It’s unpatriotic.”
“Fuck off.” He can’t fight the giggles that’s taking over him, not when you’re already laughing at your own joke. His mind nearly gets sidetracked with the thought of you in bed. Would you keep making these witty one-liners while talking dirty? Or would you be completely pliant if he kisses you all over ehile balls deep into you— focus up, Art! “I meant… How’s the boyfriend?”
You smile wryly. It was your fault to joke about Tatiana, and now you got what’s coming back at you. You take a swig at the champagne, trying to play it off casually. “Didn’t work out.”
Oh. It’s sad news, really. But why is his heart perking up, knowing there’s no more guy on the phone on her end this time? “That’s a shame. Are you alright?”
“Well, I’m real fresh out the slammer, so… not really. But…” you shrug easily. “I’ll live.”
Art’s face softens. Sometimes the moments of vulnerability seeps through the cracks of your dry humor, and he gets to see the real you. The storm that’s brewing between your ribs. Head against the windowpane, most of your lipstick either on your cigarette filter or champagne bottle. A picture perfect of secret melancholia. 
“You wanna know the weird thing is?” You inhale the cigarette, and exhale the fumes through your nose, eyes still fixed on the darkness outside, the bitterness is just pouring out. “I can always see how it ends.”
“What do you mean?”
The sensations run through your veins faster than your brain can muster up words. The butterflies of initial attraction back then—the elation, anticipation… and that funny feeling, that ache in the gut that paints the picture. The fight or the cold war that ends it all. And how are you supposed to come back from that, knowing what you know?
“I can always predict the end… right at the beginning.” You put out your cigarette and tosses it out, the faux nonchalance rising again. “Maybe you’re right. Maybe I am Cassandra.”
Art’s heart aches at that. It doesn’t feel right to be good this time. He almost wants to take it back, renounce Cassandra and he’ll give up Sisyphus so the two of you can be something else. Something different.
Something together.
Art puts out his cigarette as he studies your face. The pensive frown, the look of surprise… he loves that about you and everything in between. “I missed you,” he quietly admits. 
And there it is. The air is knocked out of you, and it’s just churning in your chest cavity. “I know,” you whisper back.
He leans in and touches your arm tentatively, and you don’t pull away. You can’t even if you tried. He traces the outline of your hair, his long fingers finding home on the side of your neck. His thumb traces your cheek, so carefully that he fears you would disappear into thin air. He needs you. Needs to know that he’s not hallucinating this.
This moment. This feeling. 
You.
You take his wrist, but you’re not sure whether it’s to pull him away or keep him there. “But we shouldn’t.”
“I know,” he echoes, although the way he fully leans into you is a whole other story. “I wanna kiss you so bad.”
“We shouldn’t.” You want to say it’s just him, you want to say that you’re stronger. Better than that. But the truth is, you gravitate towards him as much as he does to you, and now you’re just sitting there, both inching closer to each other until your foreheads are pressed together. “We can’t.”
He can’t find it in himself to lie anymore. He can no longer bring himself to care about the girlfriend he had, or whatever reason you’re thinking of right now. Valid, he’s sure, but he doesn’t give a shit anymore. “I know we can’t. But we want to, don’t we?”
“I’m not a homewrecker, Art.”
Art lets out a quiet huff. His thumb is still tracing along your jawline as if trying to commit your features to memory. He shakes his head softly. “If anyone’s a homewrecker, it’s me. It’s definitely me.”
“Art…”
“Yes?” You can wreck his whole existence, and he would thank you wholeheartedly. What bliss to be ruined in the hands of you. 
To his surprise, you pull him into a hug—and to be honest, you’re kind of beside yourself too. It makes him pause, but as soon as he realizes what’s happening, he surrenders.
Your arms wrap around his shoulders, with one hand caressing his long hair. You won’t give in, not to your desire. Not tonight. But for a moment, you let yourself imagine what it’s like to be in his arms. What it’s like to be his. 
Each breath he takes hurts because you steal every single one of it, but he swallows it down. His arms encircle your waist, and he braves through the pain because this is his only chance to pretend. Art burrows himself into your neck and makes a home there. You gladly let him in.
For the longest time, you just… stay there. 
“I never want to leave…” there’s such pain in his tone. Such sorrow. Defeat.
“Me neither…” It chokes you from the inside out. But he won’t be the one to end it, so you’ll have to take one for the team. “But we have to.” 
He knows that, but his heart shatters anyway. You kiss him on the forehead, lingering as if it would tell him what you wanted to say. All the what-ifs and could-have-beens. It’s all a tangled mess in your throat, impossible to get out.
You feel a droplet where your hand cups his face the same time Art feels a single tear slide from his forehead down his nose. It’s comforting and disconcerting at times. .
For a fleeting moment, Art nearly hopes this is the moment you change your mind. Say ‘fuck it’ and stay.
But you pull away, and all hope is lost. It leaves with your laughter that echoed in this room just moments ago. 
You take a deep breath, and with a gentle swipe of his tears and tenderly fixing his tousled hair, you do the right thing. “I’ll see you around, Art.”
Art barely manages a nod, staring at the intersection between the wall and the windowpane, as you gather your shoes and your purse and pads out towards the door.
Thunk. 
He turns and sees you leaning your head against the doorknob. Your shoulders are shaking in silent sobs, and he wants to chase after you so bad. But before he can move, you turn the doorknob and disappear out of sight. Leaving him worse off than he ever thought after holding you.

~*~
8. Hello good! This fandom is so big that I was wondering if fanfics were written with Lan Wangji condemned to live the same fate as his mother. Mama Lan was always a compelling mystery to me, canon LWJ was more in line with making her father's mistake, but then I thought about Mama Lan and went wild thinking "What if?" It would be a delicious avalanche of mixed feelings and strange curveballs for Wangxian to end up like this, considering their dynamic and how they are as people. I don't know what tag to use to find something like this (if it exists), so I would really appreciate your help! Thanks for your time in advance @makolashida
I haven't read any fanfics of that type but maybe dark!Wei Wuxian + bottom Lan Wangji could give some results? Maybe just bottom Lan Wangji + gusu lan sect bashing

15. Hey! Not sure if my prev. ask got sent so if this is a duplicate please delete. For ITMF - do you know of any fics that challenge the practice of seclusion? It's just the more I think about it the more it seems like the in-universe version of celebrities going to "rehab" at upscale resorts to avoid taking responsibility for their behavior. So I'd like to see a character (possibly lxc?) dragged back out again to clean up their own mess.

Changes are big but don't actually shift the overall plot. (Changes are WWX and LXC have an arranged marriage at first, golden core goes to LXC, WWX and LXC are A-Yuan's birth parents.) That stuff isn't really important and is kind of just mentioned, the focus is on LXC facing his mistakes and actually growing as a person. Wangxian happy ending.

Here's the next line of characters for my alternate story. Error and Ink!
This is basically an alternate ending to Under verse where instead of Cross going to get Ink in 0.6 he stays in the Omega Timeline, causing a sort of butterfly effect.
Long story short, Error and Ink help Core!Frisk protect the Omega timeline while the multi verse recovers from Error's culling after XGaster is dealt with, acting as caretakers. Think if it as attoning for their whole truce and all that. Ink gains a vial that allows them(Ink is genderfluid) to express more real emotions: pain after a creator forces Ink and Error to make amends.
This is also the same story my main errorink kiddos exist :b they are together in this.
I might make a masterpost for this anytime I draw my errorink kids with their parents it'll be with these designs.

      Eyebrows rose up at the inquiry—and bundled challenge—that came with Osial's words, head equally tilting up as if to poise themselves to take on said opportunity to convince him otherwise.
      "Well, there are two ways I could go about it ... a more methodical way, and a more romanticized way—so I will offer both."
      Foras's fingers flicked out, Dendro energy coalescing to form a small, green crystalfly at the tips of their fingers, which they allowed to float away, watching it flap against the slow current of the wind.
      "Changes can ripple through the present and future, minute as they may be. Perhaps it's only the future of one person, perhaps of the world. A child shows kindness to a person downtrodden on their luck, and that person in return carries it forward, reaching out to an old friend who they once worked with. Budding old friendships, two minds are put together and perhaps in due time create something beneficial to humankind as a whole. On a different scale, perhaps the simple plucking of a foreign flower to bring home brings unwanted pests attached to that flower that soon spread regardless of what's done to temper them ... with little much to help them ..."
      The crystalfly soon dissolves into raw energy, falling towards the ground in shimmering green glitters. "... of course, some of these are extreme examples and quite simplified. Life is chaotic and unpredictable, so I'd like to think it's quite plausable that even someone small could push something forward. May it be their own future, or the future of many. That's the beauty of life, after all! And dangers too, of course."
Tumblr media
@sylvctica asked: ‘ even the smallest person can change the course of the future. ’ // FROM HERE.
Tumblr media
There's a hiss caught somewhere between a huff and scoff that sounds at such a thought, arms folding across his chest. "You have high hopes, friend..." he retorts, unwilling to believe that creatures so fleeting could ever truly have a significant impact. Surely their impact can only be localised to the fleeting expanse of their lives? He cannot perceive that they could alter the future itself.
Such things require far more weight to be swayed from their current course.
"What makes you believe in such a sentiment? Is it hope..." He's curious, and though there is an edge of a tease to his statement - finding it far more likely a motivator - he does have his attention focused, cerulean hues studying for honesty in whatever answer he receives. There's a patience about him, shoulder dipping to lean against a nearby tree, fingers tapping against his arm rhythmically, the pattern mimicking the crest and crash of waves.
"I'll let you make an attempt to convince me at least." he offers after a moment, dubious as to whether it is possible, but posing the challenge regardless. It might be entertaining in the very least if not a duel of words that will keep him occupied for some time. Either result is appealing and will at least serve to ensure his day is far from dull.

My review about Miraculous World: Paris, Tales of Shadybug and Claw Noir
Tumblr media
This is a (first) review about a Miraculous element (especially an episode form Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir).
This post contains spoilers.
Tumblr media
Today, I've watched the Special Episode. I am prepared for the watching. I will reveal my aggregation in the end of the post.
And now, time to read:
Plot:
This happens in the same moment (at the night) as the episode Destruction (5.03). After Monarch has been cataclysmed at the left arm and before he configurates the stolen Miraculouses.
In a parallel world, a Butterfly superhero named Hesperia (Gabriel Agreste/Gabi Grassette) who is helped by Alya, Nino, Max and Markov, leaves his homeworld universe for escape from Shadybug (Toxinelle) and Claw Noire (Griffe Noire), two evil versions of Ladybug and Cat Noir. When the three characters come to the Ladybug and Cat Noir main universe, Hesperia teams up with the two titular heroes for make the ShadyClaw duo into good people. At the other side, the evil counterparts try to steal the Butterfly miraculous to Hesperia (and later to try to combine the Ladybug and Cat powers for make their wishes).
I've learned about news elements in the Miraculous lore by watching the Special:
They exist some billions an infinity of Parallel Worlds in the lore.
Each Parallel World is home to one Tikki and one Plagg (so One Ladybug holder and one Cat holder).
The inconvenients from the Ladybug's and Cat's powers (secondary effects)due to their excessive using. Shadybug and Claw Noire cause their own deterioration in their bodies by using their power for the evil.
The morale about the hope in dark and sad moments (Thanks, Hesperia.)
The parallel world (ShadyClaw/Hesperia's world) is a dystopian world ruled by the Supreme
Hesperia's, Shadybug's and Claw Noir's backstories
What I liked:
The Hesperia opening in the intro (that was WTF but that was fun)
The coming of Shadybug and Claw Noire, their odd relationships
The Claw Noir's lines and moments
The Kamiko (good alternate name to Akuma)
The akumatization forms: Chat Céleste (Cat Noir) and Ubiquity (first Alya and later Ladybug)
Ladyfly (Marinette with Ladybug + Butterfly unification)
The travels across multiple parallel worlds (Hi, Scarabella and Kitty Noire. Hi, Mister Bug and Ladynoire.)
The concept of Re-Verse (the idea of what would Marinette and Adrien have looked like if theirs lives had been different from the Canon)
The thing how Monarch has failed (again) to take the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses when he travelled across parallel worlds.
What I disliked:
The lack of end post-credits scene: I would like to see what happens in the Hesperia's world after the battle (interractions between the reformed Shabybug and Claw Noire, Hesperia, Alya ans Nino about reconciliation ans reorganisation of the Resistance against the Supreme).
The absence of other Miraclass counterparts, Luka, Kagami, Félix, Zoé, Chloé and Lila/Cerise (Only Alya, Nino, Max and Markov from the class appear in the episode as parallel counterparts)
The missing full appearance of the Supreme (his/her appearance from the shadow for reveal himself/herself/themself to spectators could make the cliffhanger effect for a sequel).
What I want to know for the future:
The most intriguing point, for me, is: The Supreme (This hidden character I have just mentioned in this post)
Who is the Supreme ? Human or Deity ? Big Brother (1984, George Orwell) ? How do s/he looks like ?
All I've learned about him/her/them is:
The Supreme is an entity/being who rules the Hesperia's homeworld (possibly the Hesperia's entire universe).
S/He is a tyrant, a dictator (worst than Chloé, possibly more machiavelic and charismatic than Cerise, more dangerous than Monarch) on this Earth (or simply Paris).
S/He hates the Love, the Freedom/Liberty, the Justice, the Happiness, positive emotions and particularly the superheroes.
It's him/her/they who is THE overarching antagonist of the Paris Special (even if s/he is only mentioned many times). S/He's so more antagonistical than Monarch.
S/He makes Hesperia and the Resistance from this world (and by extension Ladybug 2 (former Shadybug) and Cat Noir 2/Paw Noir (former Claw Noir)) as Outlaws.
It's him/her/them who given the Ladybug and Cat miraculous to Emo Marinette and Emo Adrien. Ironical and Ridiculous from the Supreme !
S/He is too powerful, too surnatural and too overcheated: s/he has a great control on the Miraculous Ultimate Absolute Power. S/He has implanted a blockage spell on Tikki and Plagg for prevent anyone to summon Gimmi.
ML theory: I'm thinking the Supreme is probably a evil type of Guardian of Miraculouses. A Fallen Guardian (NOT Master Fu NOR Su-Han). S/He has many knowledges about Miraculouses and their using + the Absolute Power.
My personal aggregation on the Paris Special:
I've enjoyed to see the episode. The narrative is excellent. The idea of Multiverse in the Miraculous lore is well found. The various animations from the episode are fun. Miraculous World: Paris, Tales of Shadybug and Claw Noire is a wonderful episode.
Result: 10/10

Okay okay okay just saw Across the Spider-Verse and have A Thought. Hear me out:
Miguel is not a "true" Spider-Man.
(I KNOW he is a Spider-Man in comics but the movies are establishing their own canon so stay with me here.)
I feel like the movies planted a lot of flags about how he is so, so fundamentally different from the other Spiders. Consider:
• He enters and has a CAPE. Spider-Man doesn't wear capes. It's disrespectful.
• Why is he getting a musical sting that is reminiscent of Prowler's? Why does he get a villain score? Extra suspicious given the big end reveal about the universe with no Spider-Man.
• "I'm not a bad guy!" "You look like one!"
• Peter asking, "Spider-Man is supposed to be funny. Why aren't you funny?"
• He says he isn't like the other Spider-Man's. Maybe he means because he makes the hard choices. Maybe it's more than that.
• Comic Miguel injects himself to get the powers of the Earth-616 Spider-Man. This Miguel is also seen injecting himself to get his powers. There's not really any indication of when this started. I'm thinking it started AFTER he lost his "family".
• He found a world where he wasn't alone and took the place of that Miguel when he died. IIRC, at no point does it show either versions of that Miguel as Spider-Man. Just that this Miguel had a family and he wanted that (ala kingpin).
• When the big anomaly is destroying that reality, why does he not just thwip thwip away with his kid? Does he not have powers?
• He is furious at Miles for robbing a reality of its Spider-Man, but surely he did the same thing when left to take the other Miguel's place?? Unless he was never Spider-Man to begin with.
• Spider-Man dying isn't part of the spider canon we have been shown. Why would it be so disruptive for Miguel to take his place? JUST because he is an anomaly? The other Spiders in the first movie didn't fundamentally destabilize Miles' reality, they were just going to glitch apart themselves. It shouldn't have such a butterfly effect for Miguel to do what he did, unless maybe the original Miguel was adjacent to Spider-Man. Maybe he was the cop who died in that world. Maybe he was the Uncle Ben figure. Somehow his death was important to the Canon.
• Why does he not bring up his Uncle Ben or his cop-close-to-him dying? Why is his tragedy only the one he created and not the usual Spider canon?
• I know he's a cool cyberpunk Spider-Man but he's the ONLY one we see with different colored webs. He is very visually distinct from the others.
• "Are your sure you're a Spider-Man?"
Theory: Miguel was just a scientist who found a world where he wasn't alone and stepped into it. When he brought on destruction by being an anomaly to the Spider-Canon, he chose to become a Spider-Man to preserve the canon and keep the universes in tact... but he was never supposed to be a Spider-Man either, just like Miles. He doesn't follow the canon either.
Also I think because Miles and probably Miguel exist outside the Spider-Canon, they won't be bound by it and will be able to disrupt it. I feel like a significant portion of Miguel's redemption arc/Heel-Face-Turn is going to be realizing Miles is right and helping him because neither of them should have been Spider-Man but both of them became him anyway. Because anyone can wear the mask.

Sketch-Verse Lore:Demon Queen Chloe
Tumblr media
The concept and nature of the multi-verse and the vast ocean of alternate realities which inhabit is both a simple and easy enough concept for even the most unscientific layman to grasp. If for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction then in terms of the concept for every choice we make, there is a universe or reality where the opposite or a different one was taken instead. Like what if the axis powers had won world war 2 or Russia remained with them to what if the world wars never happened? From the most major historical events to one individual's life playing lout different because they decided to take a different bus time, this has lead to similar scale hypothesis such as the butterfly effect and chaos theory.
With this in mind, we reflect our attention to one Chloe Sinclair, who occupies her own particular universes throughout, some where furries or anthros alike walk and live side by side with humanity in societies not unlike ours or is occupied solely by anthros. But a constant in such worlds is that she was born with a silverspoon in her mouth and became a self made woman in terms of acquiring wealth and success in the world of business and finance. Taking her communications company and turning it into a global corporate powerhouse through she operates on her own set of private islands within the French Polynesian regions or whatever their equivalent variations would be. Another constant about her is that she's a natural born exotic bombshell whose brains are matched if not exceeded by her looks and figure which put many models and movie stars to shame, particularly and especially when it comes to her infamous, outright legendary libido and a lust for life.
And then of course, there is a variation of her that's equal parts a peculiar enigma and yet an overwhelmingly intimidating force, the origins of which and whom all remain shrouded in a state of mystery. Whatever and however she came to be, why exactly and when it happened is unknown to some but many things are clear when it comes to this variation of Chloe Sinclair. She's a demonic force of nature whose reach is as high as the sky and vast as the cosmos, backed by that same natural sex drive and lust for life which she now enjoys on a scale in which the very multi-verse itself is her own personal playground. Not for malevolent purposes mind you but more to watch all the wonderful worlds and people who live in them and of course, to seek out and find wonderful new "playthings" to enjoy and share sensual company with.
Few are those who aware of her existence, let alone if any of them ever recall encountering her, making her a demonic equivalent to the concept of Schrodinger's cat in that she's somehow everywhere and nowhere all at once. One can be certain that she's not outright malevolent but is certain chaotic and mischievous when it comes to matters regarding her libido and how to satisfy it at any given time and place when the itch makes itself known. Some say that much like Galactus and the gnawing hunger which can only be briefly sated by consuming the life energy of entire worlds, her thirst for sex and companions to share it is a compulsion she has no control over and thus her nature drives her to fill the void. But others claim to the contrary that she is fully in control of it, it's more a matter of her whims and which way they blow....
Tumblr media
Given the depth and scale of her vast deity class powers, it's only natural that her ability to gleam and view into other worlds is especially helped by a stealth psychic link she shares with her alternate counterparts. Telepathically able to feel what they do which is naturally how she can determine her new playmates of interest to deem her potential sugar babies, trophy girls and boytoys alike. Especially when able to feel just how sexually gifted and capable they are which is then followed by her peculiar, particular approach to prepping her targets for the inevitable day when she graces them with her presence. The methods and means of which are as varied as her tastes in men and women.......
Her tastes are of a distinct standard in terms of selectiveness like while she won't deny being a size queen, knowing how to use and the bonus of being attractive and easy on the eyes are always key factors. Just don't expect her to invite you into her bedroom if you happen to be a glorified cliche akin to actors from some low budget pornos. Like the really cheap kind, where everyone would have to get tested afterwards including the camera guy!! She's no brainless bimbo slutwhore!!
Below are but a few select glimpses to the numerous alternate versions with which Demon Queen Chloe is connected to throughout the multi-verse. Each and every single one as sexy as they're insatiable and through whom she sees and feels what they do, all the better for scouting potential bed partners. Getting this information was no easy feat, let me tell you what. Ask no questions and I'll tell you no lies....
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chloe Sinclair prime, the most common variant, often the basis and central focus within many universes she inhabits especially, particularly within worlds where anthro or furry folk are plenty common in life and society. Her good looks on par with her sense of business acumen and intellect which as said before helped her become a very well-off, success in the financial world. The sort of self-made woman whose fortune is well a class all its own to be recognised as an international economy that she has plenty free time to spare and kill. All the more better to have her fun indulging in her vices and sating her libido, the one thing that exceeds both her beauty and brains combined.
Sexy and she knows it, certainly not a shallow gal but not some loose woman who spreads her legs open for just about any man with chiselled good looks and a big cock. No sir and believe you me she's as friendly with women particularly if they really catch her attention. At her company, sexual harassment isn't an issue because who wouldn't want this hottie giving them the time of day?! just be sure to stay hydrated because when she pounces, expect to feel sore and sticky for quite a while.

Linzin canon or Linzin second chances?
As long as they’d be endgame, that’d be my life blood.
HOWEVER, when deciding between the two, I would have to vote for Linzin canon.
There were years when she was getting screwed over by her relationships with her family and her romantic relationship slowly crumbling. She needed a break!
Let’s think more on her relationship with Tenzin. Try to stay with me bc I know this will likely have raggedy flow, but anyways—
Tumblr media
I am one of the biggest fans of child-free Linzin. Childless is a deeper subject that one can roll with, but them feeling like they can be free in a relationship without kids in general I thoroughly enjoy. That you don’t need children to have a fulfilling life. Being able to spend your life with your partner is what matters most.
With them specifically, it’s their own struggles and pressures when it comes to a legacy I think about a lot when it comes to their relationship. Lin being the daughter of one of, if not the greatest Earth benders alive. And Tenzin, him being a son of the Avatar and the sole Air bender of Aang and Katara’s kids.
Tenzin, not only had to cope with the stress of carrying a whole culture’s history and practices when his father died, but then there’s the question:
What’s going to happen when Tenzin dies?
Cue the looming thought of kids getting darker and heavier over the two.
He was at the time in a long term relationship with Lin, and surely she had similar thoughts running through her mind.
In general with the Avatar verse, the passing on of “bending genes” isn’t so clear, so with Linzin it’s hard to stay what kind of benders their kids would be, if any.
That’s a lot of stress and anxiety for a couple going through the grieving process and one member of the relationship not wanting children (something I want to respect and keep in mind with this argument) and the other likely worried about air bender children.
If they were canon, that would mean amidst everything, Tenzin was able to face his struggles with asserting his own identity and not necessarily giving into societal expectations.
He chose her.
Over everything.
That’s an incredibly serious and powerful gesture.
Taking a step back to go to the show when Lin destroyed ATI, it was more than blind rage of being cast aside for a “younger model who’d want to have his kids.” But also a destruction of the institution that contributed to forcing her and Tenzin apart.
That’s awful. Them being canon would be an answer to those expectations.
There may or may not be issues with the events of Harmonic Convergence and Jinora being a key element in how it turned out, but let’s not talk about that 💀 Butterfly effect so who knows what would happen.
****
Now let’s look at post canon Linzin. I am a sucker for second chance love stories and people getting together later in life. Tenzin would have gotten the children he wanted and eventually be with the person he loves. And Lin had the time and space to heal from her own issues and be with the one she loves. Plus, she’s done well as a mother-figure to a lot of the kids/young adults. Whether she cares to admit it or not, so props to her.
It would be interesting to see how their lives would meld together after the years apart and taking on a more maternal role to Tenzin’s bio-kids.
In short, post canon Linzin is cute and intriguing, but them being canon all the way will have me sobbing in a grocery store parking lot.
