#(this was before narc and nicky)

[nick-close]

Me: I wonder why Nark doesn’t work for me…

Also me, 15 years old, roleplaying Nick and Lark with a sibling dynamic after both feeling excluded from their own lives: ah

[scarriestmarlowe]

thinking about…the trans nick headcanon…and jodies insistance that his son is NICHOLAS.

your child comes to you one day, your sweet baby, looks you in the face and says “daddy, i’m a boy.” he says it with such resolute definition that you can’t help but accept it immediately, ignoring the millisecond of hesitation. it made sense, he’d been so squirrely around skirts ever since morgan’s mom had mentioned how “ladylike” they made him look.

so, you bring him with you to your barber, you pick up some polos and khakis, you make sure he’s happy with it all. some family members, who you rapidly distance yourselves from, attempt to co-opt the name your son had called a family meeting to choose. “nicky!” is always swiftly answered by “nicholas.”

when he gets to middle school you worry— even aside from the whole trans thing, he takes after you and your strict sense of justice. you’re so proud of him, but you know he can be a bit overzealous in it. but he makes friends, joins the soccer team. he’s confident, and happy, and his friends tease him and razz him like they would any other tweenage boy.

“narcholas.” they call him. “nicholas.” you nearly correct, before you see the little smile he gets when they seamlessly include him in everything, even with the lighthearted teasing around his name.

(they didn’t even know, you come to find out. nicholas doesn’t bother to keep it a secret, but they see the oak-garcia boys at a local pride celebration, and they refer to your son as an ‘ally,’ he nearly laughs himself into an asthma attack.)

there’s a moody boy with beads in his hair, and he calls your son nick. you correct him the first time, but nicholas flushes when you do. then, the moody boy keeps coming around your house, and he calls your son a whole slew of nicknames.

narcholas, nick, narc, and of all things, you’re sure you heard him call your son ‘cole’ once. a particular favorite of yours being ‘nicholad’

life is good, in short.

then you get sucked through a portal, and you fight alongside fathers who had merely been on the sidelines with you beforehand, but were now your brothers in battle.

and glenn. fucking glenn.

after his trial, the other fathers get weird. they adopt the name your son’s friends had been calling him, but there’s none of the love. it’s exactly what you feared, when you sent your son to middle school, and he is receiving it from grown men.

you are ashamed of the men you believed to be your friends. you are ashamed of your judgement. worsemore, it’s not even from some kind of sudden transphobia. he knows for a fact both glenn and henry are trans men. quite genuinely, they just don’t like his son.

then it gets worse. and worse.

but in the end, you still have your nicholas, nick, whatever he wants to be.

eras of tumblr i could give hour-long Ted Talks about

“i want to fuck that dorito”

2015/16 Black Butler

SebaCiel discourse

Grelle discourse (like, i don’t even know how to elaborate, but if you were there you would remember how people were fighting over her characterization in all different directions. Which is funny because, love her or hate her, she is barely even in the show lol)

The needlessly intense sjw vs anti-sjw/ fiction doesn’t effect reality/ shipping fighting

can’t quantify this, but i swear 80% of the fans were ex-hetalia fans 

Black butler 2 being either loved or hated, while book of circus was almost unanimously loved

the Scott Freeman incident...

no one giving a fuck about the female characters

Yana/Jay Michael Tatum worship

2016 Undertale

Free! was also huge as the second season concluded not long before, but wasn’t receiving new updated in Realtime like the other three.

honestly? i mostly just remember people drawing some of the most beautiful fan art of the characters and not bothering to follow the plots

2015-2016 steven universe discourse peak craziness 

There are no words, looking back this all feels like a fever dream

Insane fan-theories (as in- even for Tumblr, these theories were very out there)

Pink diamond character derailment

“watching steven universe is the opposite of eating pussy” 

Gemosonas

fusion = sex???

“it’s over isn’t it” single-handedly inspiring some of the most beautiful fan art to come out of the show; "Stronger than you” def inspired much more fan-creations, but they were nowhere near as good imo

That terrible lily peet video that sent a tidal wave of fandom-fighting 

Concrete

IMO the peak of user v staff animosity

2020 hannibal

The small but loyal anthony hopkins defenders

(I’m quite salty about this bc I worked at GameStop at this time and had people constantly talking about glitches in casual conversation and I just know most of these bitches were LYING.)

20??- don’t remember the exact dates, but phase 3 marvel was un-escapable at this time

2020/21- Succession blows up

2022 Ghost bc blows up on tiktok, the fandom already sizable on tumblr only goes up from here

[abnormallyo-a-k]

guys guys please vote terrick I'm absolutely begging you

I'll do whatever you want, I can write fics I can draw (I'm working on requests as we speak) ILL DO ANYTHING PELASE VOTE TERRICK

my reasons?

they were best friends. they were absolutely best friends, Terry called Nicky his best friend. they were BEST friends and Terry IMMEDIATELY regretted what he did in the betrayal. it so clearly haunted him for years, considering the moment he died he hunted down Glenn to give himself the comeuppance he felt he deserved. He was ready, willing, and WANTED to pay for what he did. They so clearly have so much potential, a friends to enemies to lovers? mutual pining? betrayal turned love? GUYS THINK IT THROUGH

the potential, the angst, the working through things and the soft shit that could follow

give them a chance oh how I beg let me add to the propaganda, take my favourite headcanons : - When Terry had his goth phase in highschool, he taught himself to do makeup and dye hair. Whenever Nicky wasn't doing well or having difficulty dealing with the whole fucky timeline stuff, Terry would invite him over and basically do that hair therapy thing where he'd end up dying it to match whatever his own hair colour was at the time - and do some punkish makeup on him. - Terry held onto Nicky's inhalers for as long as he could until they expired after the betrayal, hoping that he could have them on hand if Nicky ever came back. Goes hand in hand with my other of he keeps the nameplate that was on his office door at DADDIES in a filing cabinet in his own office so it didn't get thrown away. - During highschool on, Nicky was one of the main people (aside from Terry's parents) who drove Terry around. Poor guy never got over that nat one. Nicky would tease the hell out of him and bitch and moan about it each time but he'd always be outside the stampler household waiting to pick him up. - Because of the fact Lark and Sparrow did NOT like "Nicholas" and his narc ways and because Grant was uh... not exactly all there after the chimera incident- I imagine that Terry and Nicholas spent a good bit of time together in Ravenloft. Part of it was to keep the twins away from Nicky because Terry was like a 13 year group mom but also because I think they had been like at least somewhat friends in the Jodie timeline before the soccer game. - And I mentioned this one in one of my posts but I stand by the idea that Terry was Nicky's best man at his wedding, and that he still has the photos of that day in his home office. He wanted Nicky to be his own, but then the betrayal happened and everyone split apart, and I don't think Terry had a best man when he married Veronica. - Nicky (As both Nick and Nicholas) had been Terry's unoffical "Second in Command" in Ravenloft. It was entirely different for both timelines as well. For Narcolas it was more of a "I'm gonna be bitchy to everyone, including you but it's different. Don't ask why. I'm your right hand man shut up- no this is happening because I'm so clearly fit to be in charge and not at all because I want to be around you more." and for Nicky it was just exactly what you'd picture it. Trying to do the same shit he did for Glenn in a different flavour and trying to find a way to impress Terry or get his attention. Trying to seem all cool and shit. Definitely more of a "Yeah I'm gonna bug the shit out of you so I can stay near you. You can not get rid of me because I will pester you nonstop, and because I just don't want to leave your side. Fuck you but hey stop walking away wait-" - Bonus: Nicky, post season 1 and when topside, would randomly show up to the stampler household unannounced and because Samantha is so good she just never questioned. Half the time Terry wouldn't be aware until he'd get up from his desk and turn around and scream at the sight of Nicky just lounging on his bed painting his nails. Nicky would then scold Terry for startling him and making him mess up his nails, as if he wasn't the one to scare the hell out of Terry.

My Take On What Kind Of Student Each Character Is

minus the ones that we fully know about and the ones i didn’t wanna write for

~

Adela: She’d be the student that’s very prodigious on a certain subject, but not be very good at most others. Like, she needs help in english, or P.E., but once science class hits she becomes coveted as a project partner. Of course, the moment that someone pulls out a game board she either gets in and demolished everyone else, or is actively let out to level the playing field.

Adriana: She’d be a big troublemaker, the type you see getting switched from classes or on detention at least once until the first half of the year’s done. Everyone knows her as THAT kid. She’s the student that shoves an eraser in the outlet to make the classroom lights go out. She’s the student that burns something, but no one knows what, just knows there’s a suspicious burning smell, flustering the teachers and supervisors. Those are both real stories I have from highschool, by the way. Neither were caused by me, though.

Alex: He’s the kid everyone forgets exists. Either because they’re never present in class and eventually become that one name everyone laughs at because “oh hah the teacher hasn’t realized courtney’s NEVER showing up”, or because they just don’t talk much and turn away or bore folks trying to socialize with him.

Arda: He’s the kid that’s really smart, but everyone gets kinda creeped out by him. Someone looks for him as a kid, and finds him looking at the ground far too close to an anthill. They ask him what he’s doing, and he gets on this weird rant on how ants live and how life is precious but fleeting. People often want him to be in their group on group assignments since it guarantees an A, but fully expect the assignment to not go pleasantly.

Aya: The narc. The tattletale. That kid that no one tells anything to. Beloved by teachers and supervisors, but others usually aren’t that fond of her. Probably gets bullied over it, and eventually gets a huge complex over how she can’t actually make them stop by talking to authority figures. 

Barbara: She’s the kid that knows a lot about how to use the computers when it gets to that. She’d be really good at arts and crafts projects, and get good grades, but be secretly utterly bored by literally everything that doesn’t have that sort of physical building-up and get really excited and happy when tech class starts, or the arts teacher makes an assignment where she can make things beyond drawing or writing about old artists she doesn’t care much for.

Bernice: He’s the really depressed, existencial kid. Bummer to be around. Makes a joke about death that makes everyone fall silent. One of his classmates became a psychologist and sent him their card.

Camilo: The one dude that folks either know as the guy that gets with lots of people, or as really self-absorbed. Passing grades but only that, probably.

Cathy: The kid that wants to be a doctor. Always has bandaids and antiseptics ready, gets called on whenever people get hurt pretty bad (presuming the nurse’s office isn’t available or her school doesn’t have one). 

Chiara: The jehovah’s kid that tries to get their friends to go to the church. Type to show up to a friend’s house on a Sunday, and try to get them to go with her to the church. People usually try to just quietly ignore it or try to just be a good influence on her, since they don’t know how they’d decode her from it.

Daniel: Him being the goth kid’s a given, but he’d also be that really artistic kid that folks admire (because dang his art’s so good) but also get kinda weirded out by. Voted Most Likely to Kill Someone.

Echion: He’s that dude that randomly fights people for no reason, actually winds up creating harm, gets suspended, then next day a teacher starts talking about how everyone should’ve been more patient with him despite the fact that he was hurting people. (hoping this isn’t relatable)

Eleven: She’d be that student that’s always letting others borrow their stuff, has a bunch of friends she helps with school stuff when they don’t get it, and is generally too nice for this world. I know her backstory involves her friends all being fake and only there for her dad’s influence but I’m going to willingly ignore that and say folks love her and are her friends without influence from her dad. Shhhhhh.

Eva: The student that makes jokes during classes, either whispering to friends or out loud when the teacher allows it. She probably doesn’t like science.

Emma: You know that kid that would bring a book about magic to school? And do magic tricks for people mid class? That. Except she’d actually commit to it for more than a week. Teachers hate her.

Fiora: Sword lesbian. She’d likely have average grades mostly, but excel in P.E. Probably in the student council, maybe as the president with Jenny being the vice president because Fiora would trust her with that sort of thing.

Hart: She’d be the type to go through school sort of in a “i gotta” type of motivation, then after graduation you find out she made a mixtape.

Hyejin:The kid that would be able to help deprogram Chiara because she’s also religious but knows the line. I feel like she’d be the arts and crafts kid too, maybe have her dream job be psychology.

Isol: The kid that’s causing mischief, but in a sort of quiet sneaky way. The kid that made the school administration make a huge fuss trying to figure out who the fuck made the classroom lights go out, or stole something. A week passes. No one even knows who the fuck did it because he’s that good.

Jackie: Openly wanted to be a doctor. Everyone silently suspects she’s the murder doctor type.

Jan: The kid that’s really nice and chill. Then he does pushups with no effort and everyone realized that he’s actually really strong and could probably break them in half if he wanted to. Someone asked him why he works out so much. He answered “to pick up big dogs easily”. Nadine nodded in understanding.

Jenny: The theater kid. Probably isn’t that interested in most classes until either english or art decides that making a play would be interesting. Fiora would be really supportive of her and show up every rehearsal, and record the plays every time.

JP: Okay, we kinda know how he was in school but i still wanna harp on it? Like, he hacked into the school system to get test answers. He definitely emasculated every other kid that wanted to cause mischief. And whenever someone got angry at him for it he probably just tricked them into a ligma joke. King. Legend. He probably got held back though. 

Lenox: She probably wouldn’t kick too much fuss in school, be kind of generically nice and fun, but nothing special. Until they meet her post graduation years later and find out the path she took and they now have a good ice breaker.

Leon: The only kid that got excited for swimming classes. Probably has stories about times he went to the beach. I think he’d also be the kid that feels REALLY pressured to get good grades and doesn’t feel happy enough with anything under a ten.

Li Dailin: Got caught doing drugs in the bathroom. Probably is the one who’s picked to organize events.

Luke: The kid that gets really annoyed when people touch their things because of cleanliness. Everyone asks him when they need hand sanitizer because he always has it. Also probably is the kid that makes jokes over what the teacher said.

Magnus: The guy that’s always smoking right outside school. Got caught doing drugs in the men’s bathroom.

Mai: The kid that’s known to be kind of snobby and annoying, that people kinda stay away from. Probably has plenty of material but never lets anyone borrow it. Not even the people that she knows won’t try to steal it. 

Nadine: The cause of the dog that keeps showing up into school. If the school had a mascot she’d likely be the one taking care of it. Also the kid that becomes coveted when teams are being made for sports.

Nathapon: Gets in detention because he won’t fucking put away his phone ever and filmed the classes.

Nicky: She’d probably actively look for fights, but only ones where the other person did something to deserve it. For example, she sees someone bullying the teacher, trying to steal their things, and she’d get into a fight with the person to make them stop. (That story was caused by me. ....oh god is that why i like hyunwoo)

Rosalio: Jock, but a jackass.

Rozzi: Voted Most Likely to Kill Someone. Everyone kinda stays away from her because she looks so threatening, but as the year goes on everyone finds out she’s actually kind of a dork and the facade winds up getting undone. She gave the teachers food as a goodbye gift before graduation.

Shoichi: Very first day, the teachers do the ‘what do you want to do when you grow up’ thing and he says he’ll become a business major. The kid that’s kind of annoying, but since they’re smart the teachers don’t care unless they become fully disruptive.

Silvia: She’d be the kid that gets bullied over not being very smart. She asks obvious questions, tends to not pull her weight on group projects, that sort of stuff. Though, I think she wouldn’t be the type to get low self esteem over it, I think she’d let it slide every time and keep her chin up. She’d likely have a lot of friends because of that carefree disposition.

Sissela: Often misses school, does it online, or leaves early because she’s always sick. May or may not take a depression leave at some point. While her getting bullied over her fragileness might be expected, it never happens because if anyone even tried to bully her, half the class would defend her because DUDE SHE’S JUST A SMALL BUT SWEET KID LEAVE HER ALONE

Sua: The kid that LIVES in the library. The moment a book report is needed she winds up having to help everyone get it. Incapable of being teased because she just takes everything as her sweet gentle self and never actually gets hurt from it.

William: Jock. That’s it.

Xiukai: He’s the kid that sneaks in food during class. The food equivalent of the kid that everyone gets candy from. He once ate soup in class and Nadine yelled “I SMELL MEAT! SOMEONE HAS SOUP!”. No one believed her.

Zahir: Another guy who’s pretty smart, but kind of weird. He never gets any meme reference. He rarely tries to reference any memes he does learn about, but when he does everyone thinks that it might be best that he doesn’t use them often.

silver keys and shortstops

Buddy closed the bathroom door just hard enough to make his point.  Lifted the toilet lid and undid his pants.  He was embarrassed to see how hard he was.  "...shit." he muttered to himself, his cigarette in his lips.  "...less than two minutes of kissing and look at yourself..."  After a few deep breaths he was able to piss through the thing.  Could hear Jimmy still on the phone in the next room.  He finished, dropped his cigarette in the water before flushing it.  Rinsed his hands and opened the door.  He was hoping he and Jimmy were going to be able to... 'pick up where they left off,' as it were.  But his hopes faded when Jimmy announced:     JIMMY: "...We're picking up Betsy from work."      BUDDY: "...we are...??"   Jimmy dug around in the front pocket of his pants, pulled out a tiny link of three silver keys and threw them at Buddy on his way to the bedroom.     JIMMY: ( unable to keep excitement out of his voice ) "...roll us a few joints, will ya?"  Buddy looked down at the keys... singled out the one he knew he needed.     BUDDY: "...Me, roll joints...??  I'm a fucking narc...!"          JIMMY: ( from the next room )  "Oh, don't give me that.  Ever since you've been playing leapfrog with Marie Antoinette you reek of marijuana."  Buddy didn't argue.  He knew it was true.  He grudgingly walked over to the bookshelf, removed the hardbound copy of 'David Copperfield' and found the small locked metal box behind it.  He sat down with a sigh, unlocked it and began to work.      BUDDY: (more or less to himself )  "I don't know how... professional these are gonna be."  ( then louder, to Jimmy ) "...who are these for anyway...?"  No answer.  "...don't tell me Little Bo Peep smokes grass..."  he heard Jimmy moving stuff around in his bedroom.  "...what are you gonna do while I'm out here breaking the goddam law...?"   Jimmy appeared shirtless in the doorway.    JIMMY: "...I'm gonna take a shower."   Buddy checked his watch.    BUDDY: "...do you have time...?"     JIMMY: ( calling out again, now from the bathroom ) "...Can't be helped, Nicky.  I stink like a shortstop in August..."  (2-3-4) "...that's not a turn-on for everybody you know..."  Buddy gave up an unseen middle finger in Jimmy's direction.  Then, before he could stop himself from doing it, he turned his head in hopes of catching Jimmy's naked body before it disappeared behind the shower curtain.  - shwink..! -  too late.  Jimmy's shower was hot and short.  Still, by the time he stepped out Buddy had managed to roll five... no, six joints.  He was licking the sixth one and was setting it aside when he heard the shower curtain again.  This time he did not look.  From the sounds of drawers slamming and the closet door opening and closing Buddy could tell Jimmy was getting dressed very fast.  Jimmy ducked his head out from the bedroom and asked:    JIMMY: "...how much time do we got...?"    BUDDY: ( with a cig in his mouth, and without looking at the clock ) "...not long."    JIMMY: ( now mostly dressed, in the bedroom doorway. ) "...Nicky... how long...?"  Buddy sighed, reached over the table and picked up Jimmy's watch from where he'd dropped it earlier.  Threw it at Jimmy, who caught it and looked at the face before strapping it on.   BUDDY: ( sorta grumbling )  "...what do you want me to do with these... 'cigarettes'...?"   JIMMY: ( now fully dressed... coat, hat, etc. ) "...how many did you make?"   BUDDY: "...SIx."     JIMMY: ( in the living room ) "...Fine.  Give me two.  You keep four."  He picked up the the half-empty pack of Peacocks from the table and carefully slid his two joints inside.  Buddy slid his four into his own pack of Marlboros.  Saw Jimmy check his ankle to make sure his gun was secure before reaching down behind the couch... came up with a square gilded gift bag from a high-dollar ladies' store on 5th Avenue called Simone et Simone.  Walked back over, stood opposite Buddy and asked:    JIMMY: "...How do i look?"   BUDDY: ( flatly ) "...Same as you always look."    Jimmy gave him a look like, ‘...c’mon, I’m being serious, then asked...)   JIMMY: "...how do i smell..?"   BUDDY: ( without smelling him ) "...fresh as a fucking daisy... can we go now please?"   Unable to help himself, he nodded towards the square gold bag,  "...what's that?"   He reached out took it from Jimmy's hand... Jimmy opened his mouth to protest, but before he could say anything, Buddy was reaching into it.  Nobody had to say it was a present for Betsy... that was obvious.  BUDDY: "... don't tell me... a bottle of Love's Baby Soft?...”  ( 2-3-4 ) ... A 'how-to' manual...?  A little set of those... seven pastel panties with the days of the week stitched onto the ass...?"  Jimmy slapped him.  Snatched the bag back.   ( Buddy was distantly aware of Jimmy shouting out one very loud  "...Hey..!"  )   In the numbing silence that followed the two men just looked at eachother.  Buddy looked stunned.  Jimmy looked entirely vulnerable - his eyes strikingly blue, his expression softened and even a little bit sad.  He took a slow almost shuddering breath and said, very quietly: 

JIMMY: "...Nicky, please. ...I like her."

Black Survival characters as Brian David Gilbert quotes

i count this as a headcanon, because this is my blog and i think it counts as a headcanon

~

Adela:Zelda chess! (pause) There’s no plotline in Zelda chess.

Adriana: I do not feel at all qualified to discuss the philosophical ramifications of that.

Alex: There is no way you can manage to maintain that kind of level of erotic tension for seven acts! That’s like five and a half hours!

Arda: Fun fact about academic books that i learned in college is that no one has ever enjoyed writing or reading an academic paper. 

Aya: Pump Man’s flavor text explains that sometimes he’ll vounteer to wash off grafitti, and no one likes a narc.

Barbara: It’s kind of like if I bought 12 IKEA cabinets, and used them to build a Gundam.

Bernice: I don’t need any more reason to be afraid of looking at myself in the mirror.

Camilo: Everyone knows that poetry and theater are meant to be seen, and not read.

Cathy: They are valid, and they’re wrong.

Chiara: And then it’s another existencial crisis, but this is my favorite one.

Daniel: If someone introduces themselves to me as Duke Mirage, my pants are already off.

Echion: Once you got that boy under possession, time to get real into unethical science~!

Eleven: And then we ran out of time halfway through, so I went out to grab some lunch, but it started to rain so I ate a chicken drenched. That has nothing to do with the video, I just wanted you to know my pain.

Eva: Either Sonic could KILL god or he IS A god AND I DO NOT CARE IF THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!

Emma: As a kid, my mom thought that I had a nutritional deficit because I kept wanting to eat mushrooms so much, like that I ate only mushrooms for like a whole week.

Fiora: His very name strikes fear into the heart of man and mushroom alike, and he’s also pretty good at figure skating.

Hart: You could’ve stopped at just one stage. You should’ve stopped at just one stage!

Hyejin: The wimps and whomps and wimps and whomps and grindles and spindles and grolls~There’s toxbox and flops and romps and bombs and Wallops and they’re all pretty much invincible and they will crush you without hesitation like a cartoonish Sherman’s march to the sea.

Hyunwoo: They act more like civilians, to be honest. ....oh my god they’re civilians.

Isol: Because not even death can excuse you from service in Bowser’s army.

Jackie: They will tell you when they’re upset. And also when your parents are gonna die.

Jan: Ditto, Cloyster, Caterpie, Sandshrew, friends got weed? Just say no thank you-

Sissela: What was Mario doing with that penguin child?!
