here's a prompt, it's inspired by a nancy drew episode: truth serum has been poured in the drinks at a party, how do the ros react when they are about to confess their feelings to mc, do they, in the middle of their sentence, try to avoid finishing it by stuffing food in their mouth/drink more/leave/etc.? or do they actually confess because they don't even realize what comes out of their mouth until it's too late?

Random but I follow that video game polls blog and they've been going through all the Nancy Drew games and it's been making me nostalgic. Seeing this is my inbox feels really timely because of it lol

Rook: He is eating so fast and so furiously, because he is not confessing Any of That. And then he makes an exit stage left. The confession comes out in the middle of an empty hallway, and he tries to calm himself because it's the first time something like that has ever been spoken out loud. He'll do damage control later. He just...really needs a minute.

Beck: He doesn't need a truth serum to confess his feelings, and he lets the words roll off his tongue without much of a fight. He has feelings for you. Saying it is simple. It doesn't matter who hears to him, since it isn't like he's ashamed. He might be worried about your reaction, with how sudden the confession is, but he's not going to hide it.

Rhea: She covers her mouth with her hand when she realizes what she's about to say. It comes out muffled, but even though the words are undecipherable, the look on her face and the widening of her eyes speaks the truth instead. She doesn't run away, but she freezes for a moment, anxiety in her stomach waiting for your reaction.

Zoe: They say it before they realize what exactly they've said. It isn't until there's a reaction from others that it all catches up to them and they straighten their back in their chair. They stammer over their words, immediately reaching for an excuse but not being able to get to one because of the truth serum and finally just excuse themself for a moment to catch their breath, deeply mortified.

Lars: He doesn't like that the first time he stated his growing feelings out loud is in the midst of chaos and forced from his lips. He'd rather it be a private affair, away from prying eyes and judgemental stares. Still, he doesn't exactly fight himself from stating his confession, either. He'll deal with the details later. If anything, he's less concerned about his confession and who the hell administered the truth serum to everyone

???: It's more an open secret what their feelings are towards you. In the midst of a crowd, their main concern is how people will treat you, knowing how it is they see you, regardless of how you see them. It's something they know should be secret, and so they bite their lip hard and flee before the confession is out. They're desperate to confess, but they're also desperate to keep you safe from harm

Hello I have once again upset myself thinking about Logan an the effect Aurora had on him and his relationships.

Walter is a father figure to him and HOBW and their relationship is in TATTERS, and as far as canon shows, it's never mended.

Does Logan believe the man who raised his sibling and took care of him after Sparrows death died hating him? Does he believe Walter only saws the bad in him? Does it have any impact on his decision to go into his self-imposed exile? Does he regret not telling Walter about what happened to him in Aurora soonee??

Did he and Walter ever have a chance to reconcile, to speak of what happened to them on their respective trips to Aurora? Did he ever express regret for Logan feeling as if he couldn't speak of what happened to him?

Did Walter ever embrace Logan as one of his own again, or did they stay away because of their history?

seriously, Marvel. please consider a little series of comics that focus solely on the mundane side of Spider-Man's rogues' lives. like focusing solely on those who were and are a part of the Sinister Six cuz those are popular favorites.

let us see more about them beyond being villains and plotting and scheming to rob banks/tech facilities or take down Spider-Man. let's see more of their more mundane side.

I'd do ANYTHING for a comic about Mysterio and his every day life outside the villain persona. I already know a Doc Ock focused one would do MAD Numbers from his fanbase.

no lie, Electro fans would go haywire if there was a comic focused on Max Dillon and his less energetic lifestyle.

I ADORE world building and I think we could use some more for the villains. their environments can tell a lot more about them as a character and I think we really could use more of that in general within Marvel as a whole. there's a lot of focus on the characters and their relationships, but it's limited to purely dialogue. a telling and never really showing. and what it tells doesn't do too much.

slap some more DEPTH and INTRIGUE into these characters!!

What are their daily morning routines?? When they're NOT plotting and scheming and having to secretly meet up with other bad guys to make top secret exchanges to further their devious plans. Like.. HOW do they prefer to live and decorate their living spaces?? Show and tell us more about their likes and dislikes!!! DO they have other talents? Did they have any other career ideas they would have enjoyed besides the ones they ended up with? ANYTHING more would be nice!!

I'm just a sucker for world building and character developments beyond the base narrative limitations.

thinking about near misses in east blue.

shanks doesn't like conflict. he doesn't want to fight. he knows if buggy sees him a fight will happen. (does he know that buggy is concealing his history with roger? idk) so obviously he avoids him. shanks is great at avoiding people!

but how close do they get first?

do the red-haired pirates, looking for a new base of operations, spot a ship in port with a jolly roger that sends a shiver of recognition down shanks' spine?

do they land on opposite sides of the same island once? wander through the same market? nearly stop at the same stall? is the only thing that saves shanks from getting sworn at for a solid hour the sharp ear that catches on the phrase “captain buggy” and the quick thinking to duck into a random shop while his first mate gives him a deeply concerned look?

You asked for it yourself. I'm done playing with you. Bye!

[dreamlogic]

lmfao i think i've had someone text or call me on all but one (1) of my days off so far asking me to come in & work, and i have never once said yes.

"are you available to come in today?" no, my days off are already so intermittent & unpredictable that when i'm not scheduled to work in advance, that time fills up quickly & you can't have it.

"where are you? we need you!" at home sleeping in cuz i turned in a leave slip & this time off was approved last week, check your records.

"we had some call outs & your position gets first dibs on overtime! you want it?" you phrase that as if it's some kind of privilege. i already rack up enough overtime working the 6 full days a week you schedule me for every week, no thanks.

idk if this is a hot take but i simply cannot imagine vampire gwen. like vampires are too linked to class and old money in my mind and gwen is not allowed to have money. like it's incompatible with her personality

SHUT THE FUCK UP MUSIC PLEASE. I DO NOT NEED TO THINK ABOUT THAT. PLEASE. NOT RIGHT NOW

also i was pulling out my old spreadsheets to look for those vault facts and heres another fucking insane one that i found in a DIFFERENT spreadsheet. I once made a spreadsheet cataloguing what players had the most stars (just pitching for rotation, just batting for lineup) by season, and found that across 24 seasons there were 17 different players in the top half star.

predictably enough, the crabs were 1) the ONLY team to have more than one player ranking in the top half star on their active roster at once: crabs (nagomi mcdaniel and axel trololol, s7 and 8). and 2) the team with players ranking in the top half star on their active roster for the most consecutive seasons: crabs (4 in a row, s6–9) (the most anyone else has is 2)

but what surprised me was this: the team that had the most seasons with a player ranking in the top half star on their roster, AND the team who had the most different players ranking in the top half star? THE FRIDAYS. we had 5 different seasons where a player on our roster ranked in the top half star on our roster (beating the crabs by 1), and we had THREE different players who ranked in the top half star at the time they were on our roster (york silk, nagomi mcdaniel, and beck whitney). which is insane because the most anyone else has is 2.

Has anybody written a 250,000 word Bren/Astrid/Eadwulf fic called House of Memories, about a bad ending AU Caleb who accepted the Cerberus Assembly offer and instead of putting an end to his past once and for all instead decided to cling onto the last living remnants of it (his old schoolmates) at the cost of the dreams he had for the empire slowly dying as he becomes a part of the machine he swore to make better? Because if not, someone should.

Because like... the idea of him slowly becoming colder, desperately holding onto the only people he feels understand what he's been through anymore... Not being Trent Ikithon, but being undeniably influenced by him, and unable to disentangle what's been done to him from who he is now without destroying himself... Being in charge of the Volstruckers (under a new name now, but slowly taking a shape that's unsettlingly close to what they were under Ikithon), and flanked by his lovers, who are his equally terrifying right and left hand? I find it all very compelling.

Also, I find it very funny, the mental image of just, 'Diversity win! The traumatized man who was unable to break the cycles of abuse and became something he swore he would never be is polyamorous!'

just finished watching iwtv. have not read any of the books or watched the movie. every single character is an objectively bad person and they're all so toxic to each other i am absolutely OBSESSED

tiny thing but it still makes me so happy that Taliesin said Yasha still spends time with King in Darktow, “I think Yasha is the one we talked about, Yasha rolls down there more often then not, that’s the one I recall.” The implication that Taliesin and Ashley have talked before about Yasha going to visit King, that’s so cute—
