[eddiegettingshot]

no i'm dead serious when tommy brushed buck off in the clip i was immediately like it's so over lol. i could def be wrong but it read like one of those brief exchanges romcoms have a lot of the time to show the established love interest doesn't appreciate our mc. idk if this makes sense but that was the vibe.

yeah like. you know i never immediately jump to being like "won't someone think of buck's feelings!" but like...

completely switching vibes when eddie showed up at the hangar and treating eddie like a peer when he was calling buck "kid"? (even if this is partly a matter of pov the perception is obviously there)

dismissing buck at the basketball game when he offered to drive eddie to the doctor

going to buck's apartment and talking to him like a child... ("and you know he can have more than one friend, right?" like yes buck was acting like a child we know this. but apparently not enough like a child for tommy to be turned off by it)

the closet joke (which btw i don't have a problem with but like as a part of the pattern?)

"evan, i think you're adorable but i don't think you're ready" + he just didn't want to pressure him or whatever (when OBVIOUSLY it wasn't just that he didn't want to pressure him! what? just deciding this unilaterally?)

showing up to this bachelor party without having followed the instructions buck gave him and brushing him off when asked why, even though this is clearly important to buck? (and if it's because he's on call well... he didn't explain that to buck, he only told eddie he was on standby lol...)

i'm genuinely curious about where are people getting the tommy is so protective and adoring thing from because i am literally not seeing it on my screen??????

Our Man Bashir S4 E10

Saw this episode for the first time this week. There were so many little touches that made the episode a perfect parody of the Bond aesthetic. It payed tribute to classic James Bond (Sean Connery and it even teased the silly nature of Roger Moore's Bond).

The opening sequence of a villain crashing through glass with a follow up KO by the champagne cork was a lovely campy tribute. It had a Our Man Flint with James Coburn vibe! Try those if you like Bond parodies.

The Bondesque portrayal of Bashir works well. It both fits the desire he has to be heroic, to be more alluring and charismatic, and to take confidence in life outside the holosuite. Julian already is those things though. He just needs help realizing that sometimes. He was heroic in Hippocratic Oath when he stood for the lost Jem'Hadar. In his medical domain he is charismatic and in charge. All of his interactions with Garak show his subtle and alluring personality. He is on his journey of gaining confidence and with each passing episode he gains more self-esteem.

We all were admiring Julian just like Garak is. Look at that sweet face. Garak recognizes Julian's chance at character growth as his spy persona. By taking him under his wing, Garak can help him develop as a man of mystery!

The clothing is also perfect. Fashion was nailed for a Bond film parody. The high class tuxedos and the casual sweaters! We only missed out on the incredibly short-short-short-swim-shorts that Sean Connery seemed to love.

Miles as the main evil henchman was an excellent choice. Silly falcon eyepatch was just a bonus. It was nice to see a little spy gadget used by Bashir as well. Gotta have those!

I will make of gif of it later, but Worf blew a genuine smoke ring at one point. The white tux also looked amazing. More Klingons should wear white! It would be great for battle too. Showcases all the blood of their enemies.

Another A+ costume designed by the fabulous Trek Costume designers. The flair, the jewelry, all just works with that stunning Bajoran. She also played the Russian accent really well (not that I am an accent expert). Underneath this holosuite persona though we still enjoy Nana Visitor's warm smile. Nothing can stop her from making all our hearts melt!

Dr. Honey Bare....of course there would be a silly name like that. I wish Dax's character was treated less as plot device, but as a parody of older Bond movies I see the placement and and ridiculousness of it. It did feel like the cast enjoyed making fun of it.

This gem....I cannot even begin to state my delight over this single high pitched chort....giggle...laugh? What even is it? I knew of this gif out of context but now having seen the episode I see that Sisko was the deranged villain set out to destroy the world so he could create his human 2.0 sex island.

Above all of this, we must give the spotlight to the REAL hero. Rom. He is an absolute genius!!!! I love that he is so intelligent. Sure, Lt. Mr. Little Boy Eddington was there too, Odo helped a bunch, and Quark wanted to show off his jacket, but Rom saved the day. Rom singlehandedly saved the entire main cast. On the fly he rigged up an engineering masterpiece in a Frankenstein's monster way. Under incredible pressure with try or die high stakes, he pioneered a solution. I sure hope that Rom can be the star of the show more often in the coming seasons. He is a brilliantly written Ferengi and a well acted character. A loving and supportive father, caring brother, talented engineer, and an all around good friend to everyone.

For me, this episode surprisingly became a "wow, I love Rom" episode. Of course, I enjoyed and can see how iconic and quintessentially Star Trek the entire Bond tribute plot was, but this episode is about Rom for me as much as it is about Bashir and anything else.

I am glad that I can share my first watch of DS9 with all you lovely people. Thank you for sharing all your insights and passion for DS9 and Star Trek as a franchise with me.

Here is to many more shared laughs and warm moments together!

Hello Auburn dear!

Congrats on the 1,800 followers :>

So I had this idea for the "Wish Upon a Star" event, no pressure to write it tho.

I really wanted the octatrio to have genuine wishes, but I know they wouldn't open up that easily lol.

So what if reader who is a trusted friend and crush gets chosen to to gather wishes instead. They get to have a really sweet moment alone with reader and talk about what they really want without having to worry about it being used against them.

Wholesome octatrio vibes, but just Azul is fine too if you're not feeling like writing about all of them.

I hope you enjoy this one, Aubie <3

-Zellous :>

thank you for giving me the option to just write azul because i am kinda burnt out SFDHAGSDHGAS THANK YOU ZELL <3333

i cannot...imagine his wish changing tbh HELP

AZUL AND HIS AMBITION (1.8k details)

“My wish is...for the Mostro Lounge to flourish more than ever before.”

You watch as Azul smiles down at his star, eyes reflecting the blue light. He looks so beautiful when he talks about the things he loves. It’s like the stars you’ve been collecting have been stored away in his eyes, just for your viewing pleasure.

If his wish can be selfish, yours can be too.

“It’s unlike you to leave things up to luck, Azul.” you tease, prodding for his explanation.

Azul pushes his glasses up his nose and gives you a look. It screams you know me better than that, my dear, and the implication makes you feel hot.

“Obviously I’ve prepared for my wish.” he chuckles, “I’ve been making moves to open collaborations with the three most popular items off the Mostro Lounge menu.”

“Of course you have, you think of everything.” you roll your eyes playfully, “I can’t wait to see how it turns out for you, Azul.”You could tell him that wishing is all about luck and that he shouldn’t prepare for it, but you don’t bother. You know how Azul is, and if this is what makes him happy, you won’t tease him.

SHIPPING INFO. Answer the following so people know how shipping works on your blog.

What’s your OTP for your Muse(s)?

The women being treated with respect and written well. Genuinely lmao, but an actual ship (out of many)? Sanami. With the right tweaks to canon, it's ❤️

What are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?

Anything so long as the vibe is right and it isn't just outright writing gross stuff without being critical of the topic. Naturally, you'll have plots and stuff come up that don't work for either character or writer, certain genres that don't mesh or whatever, but that's fine!

How large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?

As long as everyone is a consenting adult and neither party watched the other grow up, I'm down. I think there are some pairings, like in real life, when the age gap is so huge I wonder how the two can have anything in common, but that takes such a backseat to the first point.

Are you selective when shipping?

What matters to me is that both the writers and muses click.

I always like to stress that as much as I may want to write a ship, if you write the other character and still want to write with me, but aren't into the ship, we do not have to ship it. I am so happy to spin things a thousand different ways, and I never want someone to feel pressured into doing anything.

It sucks when all you get out of talking with someone is them wanting your character for a pre-conceived role without taking into consideration how you view the character, or just taking you into consideration in general, as the person behind the character.

How far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW?

When clothes come off and/or heavier touching takes place. Also, if the descriptors are less than PG.

Who are other muses you ship your muse with?

Shankino. Usokaya. Mishanks. Brook/Jinbe, Law/Sanji, Sora/Zeff.

Does one have to ask to ship with you?

I'd always prefer we talk about it first, even if talking about it consists of, "I love this and can't believe you write this character!" and "I love this and can't believe you write that character!" and deciding we're going to send each other a bunch of memes because of this.

How often do you like to ship?

I'm a big romantic.

Are you multiship?

Not everyone writes one character the same way, and not every duo will write one ship the same way. It's always so fun to see how different characters can pull different things out of one muse. So yes!

Are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?

As much as I'm a lovey bitch, I love dynamics in all senses. I love to write because I love to explore the dynamics between characters and how those relationships affect the way they see things and go about the world and how they grow together (or make each other worse, in some cases.)

What is your favorite ship in your current fandom?

Druhawk/Drulucci.

Finally, how does one ship with you?

Message me with ideas, like my posts, send in memes, etc. Take me by the shoulders and beam it into my head with telepathy.

[a-memory-a-distant-echo]

if you get this, answer with three random facts about yourself and send it to the last seven blogs in your notifs! anon or not, doesn’t matter, let’s get to know the person behind the blog <3

this was so nice of you, thank you.

um, now i have to think of three facts about myself, which is really hard. myself? do i know them? hm.

(1) i am constantly asking (or barely keeping myself from asking) if whomever i'm speaking with has eaten. or when they ate. or what they ate. i genuinely and sincerely want to know. i feel rude as hell about it but i absolutely love hearing about the most mundane parts of your day. those posts about how you take your steak/eggs/coffee/etc? i love them. i will go through the tags and read the answers from people who i don't even know.

(2) i feel confident that anyone who's followed me for even a minute is already aware of this, but i'm married to @where-the-water-flows. we met on mid-2010s tumblr, and are just as insufferable as that implies.

(3) despite… [gestures] all this… in real life i'm actually incredibly uptight and repressed and give off surprisingly strong 'do not fucking touch me' vibes. engaging with this fandom has been a very Experience for me. it's been mostly enjoyable, and occasionally feels like i am dissecting my own liver to offer people as a snack.

um, tagging people, but in a zero-pressure kind of way because sometimes the tag game hits and sometimes you see it and then mysteriously it's six months later, and that's fine. @bbcphile @howlingmoonrise @kingsandbastardz @junemermaid @lianhuajing @momosandlemonsoda @tiny-breadcrumbs

[johnslittlespoon]

HI I'M ALIVE i swear this is a pattern at this point, i post a new fic/chapter and disappear for a phat day (or two) lmaoo i literally get The Fear and i have to avoid notifs/comments for a bit <33

that being said, wept reading the comments on TAS, i'm so so thankful y'all are vibing with it because i was NERVOUS about posting my first ever modern au and i wanted to make sure it still felt true to the characters but everyone's been so unbelievably kind i'm so wahhahhhh :')) i appreciate the sweet words SO so much, it's so reassuring and so motivating <33

so motivating actually that i'm already halfway done ch2... whoops? litch rally buzzing with how excited i am to write, i don't think i've ever experienced this which sounds strange but like. okay hold i can already tell i'm gonna go on a tangent so let me cut myself off with a read more lmaoo

idk, does anyone else ever sometimes feel like even though obviously we all write fic for enjoyment because we do it for free, sometimes it feels like a chore? not in the sense that i feel obligated to write, but just that even though i feel passionately about what i want to write, it's just hard to get my brain into gear (adhd aside) even when i really want to. i'm just thinking out loudddd now but my concerta just kicked in so it's inevitable LOL word vomit and thought processing is apparently a necessary part of my writing process smh

writing yad(iym) has honestly been so helpful with this because one of the biggest things that i struggle with when writing is that i have a super vivid imagination and can picture exactly what i want to portray/convey, but sometimes i don't know how to get there, but with the dog coded fic i have the timeline of the actual show to follow, so it takes a lot of pressure off in that sense! it's sorta like filling in the gaps because i have something base level to work with.

but 99% of the time when writing, i don't have that, so i end up avoiding my docs often because i feel stuck in terms of progressing the storyline, and my writing process drags on so longgg. i'm finding too now that i'm writing my first (and second oops) actual long fic that oneshots are actually more difficult for me to finish for some reason despite most of mine being shorter than a singular chapter in my fics, which is funny because i was so terrified of commitment starting a chaptered fic but i've ended up being more consistent.

anyway point is, i adore writing yad(iym) and it's been the most fun experience i've had fic writing, but now that i've sorted out the world building aspects for tough and sweet, everything is just flowing and instead of having to sit myself down at my desk and kinda just force myself into the zone, i cannot drag myself out of my docs?? and i've never had that happen but i'm definitely trying to take advantage of it while it lasts and get as much written as possible!

i think it also helps that it's so lighthearted compared to the angst of yadiym (tho i've got some angst planned for tas too lol sry) so i don't have to think as much about the weight behind certain dialogue, or carefully plan out the progression of the relationship dynamic the way the time period/setting of yadiym requires. it's a nice breather from the constraints of the mota–verse (as much as it's still my favourite thing to read/write with these boys), but i also enjoy getting to sink back into that doc when i want something deeper than the little biker boys.

i'm still very much working away on yadiym tho to be clear!! i was scared to start tas before i finished it in case i hyperfixated on tas and my updates got slow on yadiym, but it's genuinely helped me find a balance because i'm always working on one if i'm not working on the other <3 i'm about half done ch6 too for yadiym (how many times can i type that in one post jfc), i'm just at an internal emotions heavy part which i Hate. writing lmaooo give me dialogue or smut and i can type away for hrs but introspection?? internal conflict? hell

ok that's all my fic related rambling thank uuuu/apologies if u sat thru all of that LOL lmk if your writing process/mindset is similar or not bc i'm always curious about how other people's brains work with this stuff!! also how does one get over feeling obnoxious about rambling on their own acc like. this is my acc. i could post 100 times a day if i wanted. i need to Relax good god

[thecoolerliauditore]

Hey, I'm that one anon from a few weeks back who was pretty skeptical about rats 2, so i thought it would be nice to come back and share how is it going

So first of all, the negatives. Yesterday was the 1st big event of the season and I did not enjoy it too much. The story itself was okay i guess, typical halloween ghost story, but it had the minecraft server - typical problem of some people speaking way too loud and over others. I was watching from Martyn's pov and he had to mute everyone twice bc of the overstimulation, and spent lots of the event in his own or in small groups

Apart from that, honestly pretty happy with the smp? It has returned to the communal vibes of rats 1 instead of dividing everyone im groups, which is great bc it s almost imposible to log in and not meet everyone else who is logged in at the moment. That was one of pirates s worst sins imo. Also, it has small missions for the players to do, which are not that interesting tbh, but they don t take far as much time as the ones in pirates which enable the players to mostly hang out and vibe. Also the whole running away from humans is a very fun premise. The whole concept of the smp is honestly just a reprise of rats 1, which brings the question of if it is really necessary, but by now it s being fun sooo i guess it gets a pass (by now)

The environment is very chaotic, but apart from the event it doesn t usually feel like too much. The one problem is that it distracts the players from actually building lol. Talking about building, they have had lots of technical issues with the chisel and bits mod, so they have changed tl another mod which seems tl be working better, although now the players have to relearn how to build in that size. But ngl, some of them are going crazy with the building, Sniff, Eloise, Scott, Sausage and Ros mainly are CRAZY

About the players, I am only following closely a handful of them, but it s generally being a blast. Having them roleplay as rats is just silly and brings good vibes and bits. My one hot take is that although I think he's a very talented builder, I find Sausage kind of annoying in smps, and also one of the loudest during events, but that's probably a me thing. Apart from him, Tubbo and Ros have done a cult and it's delightful to watch, the Martyn and Ren duo is super fun as expected, Oli is once again the funniest fucker alive, El and Bek are amazing. A creator I didn t know too well until now is Watermunch and she's great, his laugh especially gives me seratonin

So yeah, not everything is great or super interesting but it's fun and chaotic and as much as I bash in pirates, Ros and Water were great aditions to the cast so I am glad it exists. But pleeeease someone tell them to keep calm during moments with lots of people, it's uncomfy for the watchers, some ccs get overwhelmed and others can barely speak. Another problem I ve seen is that a portion of Tubbo s chat keep metagaming, which is annoying af, but whatever ig

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it! I definitely have heard good things about treebark rats (I do think renrat having a wife is the one of. maybe the funniest things to come out of SMPs good god martyn im so. im so sorry martyn) and even though i wasn't a fan of the original i did have fun watching garbage rat clips. That impromptu music number he did with the camera angle changes is like. genuinely high art to me.

also good on martyn for knowing his limits. I can imagine it's a rough choice to make in the moment what with the pressure to perform and whatnot.

o7 hope those rats keep ratting

[de-fright-ful]

✔ For whichever one of my muses you like most OwO

A QUICK AND EASY PLOTTING GUIDE ! | OOC MEME | ACCEPTING

HELLO YUE!! I won't lie to ya, chief; you've given me a tricky task here! Picking my favourite muse out of your catalogue is like choosing my favourite kind of chocolate, and let me tell you, I have a SWEET TOOTH! Haha!

So, I've cut this post for brevity's sake, but I chose a wild card assortment!

So, in order, I put down

Asteria because my wife. I MEAN because thematically, I think these two would naturally have interactions, with Astaria being a lore-keeper and Amity filling a similar cultural role in Saijikara and Amity being a part of the Pokemon league. Asteria is (presumably) involved with the greater institution as the Hoenn champion, SO YOU SEE WHAT I'M GETTING AT HERE.

Cynthia for similar reasons but also because geographically, she's just a lot closer to Saijikara and Amity by extension. Amity and Cynthia have a similar kind of curiosity and I think it would be interesting to smoosh that together? I don't have the words to perfectly describe it, but they both have a curious but respectful air that, like, I would trust them to go into a tomb and not be a clown about it and instead sit down in the dusty darkness for an hour writing down all the glyphs to translate later. Also, because SPIRITOMB CLUB SPIRITOMB CLUB, if a collection of hundreds of souls can vibe with you and want to help serve your cause, you KNOW you're in good company - safety not considered! Haha

Nathanael because it would fascinating in a 'this is going to go down like a cherry bomb thrown into a bathroom,' not because she can't vibe with his personality (she's very patient and is spectrum/has grown up with others on the spectrum so she's completely missing that trait that gives her friction over some social cues not being followed, (Amity is oblivious, she's aware but doesn't track the following/not following) ) or because she inherently disagrees with his stances, cause honestly she doesn't! It's just the combination of both, the N 'charm,' being questioned and put on the defence, especially in regards to questioning her Pokemon Team (which is ACTUALLY her found family, not in the 'tee hee close friend group' way but like, Whinnie adopted her, he considers her sister, Magnus followed, and others trickled in to form what she calls her coven, they've been the only present family structure she's had since she was 8 and Whinnie rescued her from certain death in the forest - especially given the toxic family unit she returned to after and her mother legitimately coming to hate her - and they were her direct lifeline in raising her siblings. Poking at that is one of the only ways to genuinely get her to break character and get legitimately enraged, which probably would happen) I just - I would kill to see Amity genuinely pushed to express a negative emotion on the main - BUTTTT BUT BUT BUT, I am OFTEN wrong about Amity's reaction to things and how she takes the wheel in regards to herself - Amity wasn't meant to have ADHD, but that evolved naturally. Aside from the entertainment of a blow-up, it could be interesting if they could be civil. I mean - when was the last time Amity got to speak about Saijikara, not about her role appointed and being digestible to an outside audience but just- her genuine thoughts and feelings about it and the change of outside pressure pushing in to wipe away both unpleasant history that still lurks in the corners of your mind in the waking present and the traditions that you hold close to your identity. (also because I can see her lore dumping and N going 'wow, ANYWAYS,' and I think that'd be REAL funny)

AND VOLO -- but Volo mainly because, like, doing this meme WITHOUT including him would be like going to a shrine and not leaving a tithing. I have to pay the Volo tax and give him some attention! It's the law of the land! Haha

My muse(s): Amity De Claire - Joy + Her Pokemon Team & the Coven (Noriko Joy, Orin Fournier, Yuhuza Sataoi, Yvita & Yvona Joy + close family friends like Mako) the whole song and dance of everyone on the property! Y'feel!

Episode 12 Thoughts

Spoilers for TBB Season 2

AAAAAAAAHHHHHH

Omg this episode was good but it hurt so much! 😭 We got Crosshair back but at what cost? 🥲

I'm gonna write this as I rewatch the episode so let's go!

The opening is so bleak, especially with the soundtrack and the sepia hue that everything in the opening shot has.

Seeing clones being forced out of their role hurts. 😭

Love how we all thought that it was going to be a clone Lieutenant.

It wasn't. It was a fucking arsehole instead. 😡

Ugh, I missed Crosshair so much. 😭

"I don't like used equipment"

BITCH THE FUCKING AUDACITY! 🤬

Mayday's beard is ✨️ fabulous ✨️

Also a clone named Mayday? That's just asking for him to get into trouble. 😭

Why do I recognise the name Veetch??? Have we heard it before or am I just making stuff up now???

I knew something was going to happen to Mayday but let's be real, we all fell in love with him in under half a second. 🥲

I can see why DBB loved him!

The slight hesitation before he said "Crosshair". 🥲 Cody was the last person to use his name. It probably still throws him off when people actually want to use it.

The clone helmets arranged on the boxes. 😭

The clone designs with the wraps!!! 🤩 It's kind of giving Egyptian Mummy Chic but I'm not mad about it. It looks awesome!

Ice vultures. Just what this planet needed.

I was right about the tower shot being this episode!

THE PANIC I FELT WHEN CROSS HURT HIS EYES

Ngl, it's not often you see blood in SW animation. But it was used really well in this episode! Enhances the creepy vibe.

R.I.P Hexx and Veetch. 😔

THE RAGE I FEEL EVERY TIME LIEUTENANT FUCKFACE TURNS UP

Crosshair I don't need you stepping on pressure mines!!! 😭

I actually love this moment so much. Low on action, high on tension, good dialogue.

Crosshair talking about CF 99 😭😭😭

The raiders sound almost Tusken. 🤔 Wonder if they're Tuskens that left Tatooine and evolved to a lifestyle on this planet or whether they evolved completely separately.

Crosshair, mate. I understand the explosion plan but I don't need you setting off an avalanche.

The way they slide down the hill! 🤣

Ugh everything in this episode just makes me sad.

"We're good soldiers. We followed orders. And for what? " 🥲

CROSSHAIR WHAT WAS I SAYING ABOUT AVALANCHES

Crosshair looking genuinely terrified always hurts

If anyone comes out with the "Crosshair likes working for the Empire" bullshit- 🤬

The way he puts Mayday's helmet on to make sure his head is protected 😭

Jeez, they weren't kidding about "heartbreaking". This is painful to watch.

This entire episode is proof that while Cross may be an arsehole, he isn't completely heartless or evil like some people want to believe.

THE WAY THEY'RE HUDDLED UP AND SHAKING YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME 😭

He gave his rifle to Mayday as a crutch

THE PAIN IN HIS VOICE WHEN HE SAYS "HELP HIM" AHHHHH I FEEL SICK WHY DOES THIS SHOW HAVE TO HURT SO MUCH??? 😭😭😭

MAYDAY NOOOOO 😭

Crosshair is so fucking angry

GOOD! GET ANGRY! LEAVE THE EMPIRE!

The bird circling and Crosshair looking over at Mayday, panicked. He knew that they were just going to leave him to be scavenged. 😥

GOODBYE LIEUTENANT FUCKFACE!

CROSSHAIR YOU POOR THING! 😢

He's so broken and defeated. Help.

The next bullet point is an accurate recreation of how I reacted the first time to the ending. 👇

WHAT? NO NO NO NO NO NO YOU CAN'T END IT THERE! YOU CAN'T END IT THERE!!! Oh, it's not the end... wait what... oh no I've changed my mind I'VE CHANGED MY MIND GO BACK GO BACK THIS IS WORSE THIS IS SO MUCH WORSE

Parallel to when we see him wake up in Ep 3 ☹️

FUCK NO

DON'T MAKE HIM ANOTHER CLONE X!!!

LEAVE HIM ALONE YOU BASTARDS!!!

Someone come and save him 😭

I feel sick. Everything hurts. 😥

So errr.... hahaha... ha... ouch...

This episode was so good but omg it was so painful! People weren't kidding when they said "bleak" and "heartbreaking". ☹️

I can see why DBB loved Mayday so much. He was great! I knew it wouldn't end well for him but it's impossible not to love him. But the fact that Crosshair collapsed before he could bury him means that he was probably still left to the vultures. 😭 It's poignant really. The clones don't get a heroic end. After everything they did, the Empire are just gonna cast them out and leave them to rot...

And Crosshair! 😭 That man was in so much turmoil this episode. Him opening up to Mayday just the tiniest fraction by telling him his name and squadron. The quiet fear when he stepped on the pressure mine. The panic when he was covered by the avalanche. The panic when he dug himself out. The fear when he found Mayday. The anguish as he carried Mayday all the way back. The heartbreaking pain when they were huddled up and shivering. The desperation when he asked for them to get a medic. The anguish of "help him". The panic when he knows that they're going to leave Mayday for the vultures. The pure, visceral, seething rage when he kills Nolan. The pain when he collapses. The fear and delirium when he wakes up in the lab. It's all too much.

And what breaks my heart even more is the close up of his face after he collapses. He looks asleep, calm. The only time in this entire episode when he actually looks peaceful is when he's passed out from exhaustion!

This man is going through it so badly and it's so painful to watch. I'm scared to see what's going to happen to him but if the later episodes are of the same quality as this one then the end of this season is going to be incredible.

Tagging @snarkyfina @saturn-sends-hugs and @phis-writing because they normally want to see people's thoughts on this!

And also tagging @eriexplosion if they want to add anything. But I know that they are also suffering after this episode. 🥲

Edit: Just went back and fixed a few typos I didn't realise I'd made. Probably still missed some but this episode stressed me out too much to care. 🤣

SHIPPING INFO. Answer the following so people know how shipping works on your blog.

What’s your OTP for your Muse(s)?

Women being treated with respect and written well. Genuinely lmao, but an actual ship (out of many)? Ninajason w/ @ambitiouslyher. Also anything I've written with @soulcluster.

What are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?

Anything so long as the vibe is right and it isn't just outright writing gross stuff without being critical of the topic. Naturally, you'll have plots and stuff come up that don't work for either character or writer, certain genres that don't mesh or whatever, but that's fine!

How large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?

As long as everyone is a consenting adult and neither party watched the other grow up, I'm down. I think there are some pairings, like in real life, when the age gap is so huge I wonder how the two can have anything in common, but that takes such a backseat to the first point.

Are you selective when shipping?

What matters to me is that both the writers and muses click.

I always like to stress that as much as I may want to write a ship, if you write the other character and still want to write with me, but aren't into the ship, we do not have to ship it. I am so happy to spin things a thousand different ways, and I never want someone to feel pressured into doing anything.

It sucks when all you get out of talking with someone is them wanting your character for a pre-conceived role without taking into consideration how you view the character, or just taking you into consideration in general, as the person behind the character.

How far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW?

When clothes come off and/or heavier touching takes place. Also, if the descriptors are less than PG.

Who are other muses you ship your muse with?

Bbrae. Kibahina. Faye/Spike. Lingfan.

Does one have to ask to ship with you?

I'd always prefer we talk about it first, even if talking about it consists of, "I love this and can't believe you write this character!" and "I love this and can't believe you write that character!" and deciding we're going to send each other a bunch of memes because of this.

How often do you like to ship?

I'm a big romantic.

Are you multiship?

Not everyone writes one character the same way, and not every duo will write one ship the same way. It's always so fun to see how different characters can pull different things out of one muse. So yes!

Are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?

As much as I'm a lovey bitch, I love dynamics in all senses. I love to write because I love to explore the dynamics between characters and how those relationships affect the way they see things and go about the world and how they grow together (or make each other worse, in some cases.)

What is your favorite ship in your current fandom?

Drucilla/Anders. Gojohime.

Finally, how does one ship with you?

Message me with ideas, like my posts, send in memes, etc. Take me by the shoulders and beam it into my head with telepathy.

Now that we're entering into 2024, I'm asking some artists and writers that I follow:

1) What is the one piece you're most proud of from this past year?

2) What are some pieces that you would have liked more people to see? If you can include links, I'd love to go check them out!

3) What were your top three favorite pieces (art, comics, fics, etc) that someone else has made this past year?

(As always, no pressure to respond! Feel free to just ignore, or let me know if you'd rather I not send you these kinds of asks in the future.)

Oh, that one is a difficult one to answer... I am so proud of everything I managed to write this year! HOWEVER. It's a tie between yesterday (it was so far away) and wave after wave. I know, I know, I keep mentioning my F!Leo fic. I'll never shut up about it. It's the biggest fic I've written and I am proud to have gotten to the end despite the challenges. As for wave after wave... well, that one's simple. I'm really proud of the vibes and how I've been characterizing my guys :]

I definitely would have still loved for a fireplace and one more day to have gotten more attention. They're my little self-indulgent treat fics <3

My top three favorites: - The bunnyguard series by @sroloc--elbisivni. They worked so hard on this throughout the whole entire year and they deserve all the love and recognition they can get for this beautiful series!! - world's end boyfriend by @tervaneula. I'm also never going to shut up about this one. I adore second chances, okay? That's one of my all-time favorite tropes! (Yes, this includes redemptions but that's not in this fic I just want to mention it.) - vigilantism for fun and profit by @radishhqueen. Excellent Cassandra fic. Really. I think I went to scream in a friend's DMs weekly with each update. Yes, I was insane, but genuinely I loved it so much.

Thank you so much for the ask, I had a lot of fun answering everything and hunting down my links <3 I also spent way too much time formatting this but at least it was fun!

Fuckass Bob here, straight stunting and offering the requested writing review 💅🏻 (Full disclosure I don’t read anything that doesn’t have a happy ending, I don’t read series til they’re done, I’m an Aemond whore first and foremost.)

Anywho. I really like your writing and one of the things I like so much about it is that you can take really similar asks and give a wide range of returns for them. You’ve got a bunch of asks for BJs or butt stuff or praise kinks or brat taming etc and each piece you write feels different, even though the characters are (usually) the same and the premise is so similar. It really scratches the “I loved this, now I want to rewatch it with the camera angle 15° off” vibe that I often get with fanfic. I love my tropes and characters and stories about them and I’ll finish one and throw it on the ground and scream ANOTHER (read: reblog and like it and scream ANOTHER) and when I read your stuff the similar prompts scratch the same itch but I don’t feel like I’m just rereading the og fic.

Idk man whenever I see your request/WIP list I get super excited about how you’ll do the Aemond stuff and then when I get to sit down and read it I’m always blown away.

Also, as someone who does love her bazillion word fics, I like the length of your prompt responses. They’re perfectly bite sized I can sit down and read and it doesn’t feel daunting or like I’ve opened my tumblr for nothing. The length is perfect: dick length joke and whatnot

-FAB

This is very sweet of you, thank you so much!

I am trying to move away from the shorter length fics, and people who closely follow my work will likely see the shift in terms of word count. I am generally quite satisfied with the trajectory my writing has taken, but have never asked for feedback before, so I am interested in hearing people's honest opinions of what they like and don't care so much for in my prose!

The drabbles and smut requests were produced during some of my unhappiest times in fandom. With people that were churning out four or five fics a day and maintaining an incredibly solid chokehold on all of the tags, it felt really pressurised and like if I didn't keep up then my work would be forgotten. It was horrible.

That pressure has eased immensely in the last few months, and I have reached a space where I am (most of the time) relatively unbothered by what others are doing around me. It's been so nice to adopt a more relaxed approach and take my time with my writing, so that I'm producing stories that I would genuinely be happy to read myself.

Sorry for the ramble!

Todays rip: 10/07/2023

Neo Castelia

Season 3 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips Volume A

Ripped by Sonicheroesfan1

For as much rambling as I like to do on here about the genuine passion and hard work that goes into all of these rips, at the end of the day I am a very simple person. I like Pokémon, I like Gen 5, and so I'm bound to on some level click with almost all of the team's rips of Unova's games. Neo Castelia has always stuck out as an exception even to that, though, and its been sitting pretty in my playlists ever since I first heard it.

I think there's just something about the absolutely infectiously happy and gleeful source track that just captures me everytime I listen to this rip - its a simple series of melodyswaps not really aiming to catch you off guard or make you burst out laughing, but rather just take you out on a ride through various themes you probably recognize. Ace Attorney's Turnabout Sisters, Dating Start from Undertale, even other Pokémon music, is all just strung along on cues planted in the original track, naturally transitioning from one to the next. There's very little in the way of theming connecting them all together, yet I find that gives the track a really positive, playful vibe. Given the rip's name of Neo Castelia comes from just one of its many melodyswaps, Neo Green Hill Zone from Sonic Advance, it gives me the impression that this was a project that just kept growing for the hell of it. I can picture the original idea simply being to follow through with a similar sounding cue from Neo Green Hill Zone into Castelia City's theme, only for things to gradually grow to a point where, screw it! EVERYONE's invited, so long as it sounds like it belongs in the track!

Though a simple rip it may be, it may perhaps be one of the most joy-distilling rips on the entire channel for me, and absolutely one of the channel's most underrated in my eyes. By not feeling any pressure to include a punchline, or overwhelm with sources, or step absolutely above and beyond in escalation, Neo Castelia provides an injection of pure happiness only comparable to hearing the original game's music for the very first time.
