Omin…so you remember that one time you made me imagine a play date with all the kids ocs…

I did it again and now I want a daycare AU with the Oscar Isaac characters as the daycare attendants.

Just look!

Jonathan Levy and Steven Grant would nail it as the perfect daycare attendants. I keep imaging my kid ocs as toddlers who attend the daycare and Steven is just telling them a story for nap time.

if i had a nickle for every time reigen enters a poll that he is by no means qualified for only to lose substantially to a supernatural being that had tumblr in a choke hold in the early 2010s, i'd have two nickles which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice

Congratulations, followers. The end of the month is nearing, and I have successfully gotten to Day 8 with one skip for the October drawing challenge:

GORETOBER

These are the two-and-a-half projects that I finished before I lost interest

Maybe one day I’ll do all 31, but that’s definitely a future plan. Still, this is better than I’ve done in the past. Thank you for your patience!

[zaddyazula]

obviously i love strangelove’s character but she wasn’t written well… as a woman or as a lesbian…

Songs for The Silver Chronicles, Life, Despair & Monsters and Wings And Horns respectively. You can find the songs below the cut:

Elsa Omar is Silva's younger sister, they both managed to escape to America together along with an infant Persephone, where Elsa would have quite the reputation in Hope County, but they'd have around two or three years of peace before Elsa perishes in an accident. Ezekiel is Thomas Rush's future Captain in Security in Old Dusk, and has a rebel attitude towards authority he does not respect. However, back on the Archipiélagos, Elsa was the damsel-in-relative-distress lying and manipulating her piece of shit father as she shared info with the local rebellion about the Congregation's patrols and whatnot, while Ezekiel was an orphaned Tumultite street kid who looked up to the likes of Alvarich and Paul, despite being very anti-authoritarian in general. When these two first met... they hated each other. But hate turned to grudging respect. Respect turned to horrified crushing. Crush turned into deflecting by flirting. And that annoyed everyone else. Even 26 years after he last saw her alive, Ezekiel still yearns for his star-crossed love. And I think this song definitely describes how much their connection may as well have been fated, even if it was for a short time.

"I don't mean to be so uptight But my heart's been hurt a couple times By a couple guys that didn't treat me right I ain't gonna lie, ain't gonna lie 'Cause I'm tired of the fake love, show me what you're made of Boy, make me believe." "Whoa, hold up, girl, don't you know you're beautiful? And it's easy to see."

"If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be Baby, just let it be If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be Baby, just let it be So won't you ride with me, ride with me? See where this thing goes If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be Baby if it's meant to be

So come on, ride with me, ride with me See where this thing goes So come on, ride with me, ride with me Baby if it's meant to be."

"Maybe we do." "Maybe we don't." "Maybe we will Maybe we won't.

But if it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be Baby, just let it be ("Sing it baby")* If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be ("Come on") Baby, just let it be." ("Let's go!")

[*Changed the word to "baby" instead of leaving it as "Bebe"]

Cecil Royce is the daughter of Daemon Targaryen and Rhea Royce, conceived after a drunk night of hate sex. Cecil, unlike her cousins, does not hold any admiration towards her father. Throughout The Thorned Crown Of Iron Thrones, Cecil is particularly hostile towards Daemon, and pretty much rejects the Targaryen name and practices in favour of her mother's. Though after the "accidental" death of her mother, she is put underneath Daemon's care... and he honestly tries his best. Through many trials, and many errors, as well as very slow-paced bonding experiences and the apparent mutual agreement that Rhaenyra should be heir to the Iron Throne, they manage to get along, and find in themselves an actual father-daughter bond suited for two rogue Targaryens. Until of course Cecil learns from him that he murdered her mother... and unlike Daemon, Cecil actually loved and looked up to Rhea. A bond fractures and there's just this uneasiness between them that stays long after the first fic ends and the second fic begins. How does "Summertime Sadness" fit into all of this? While the song itself is a yearning for the loss of a lover, here the context is Cecil's conflicted grief and yearning after the loss of Daemon, when he buys her time to fight the Court King, where he is knowingly severely outmatched and slain in the encounter. Despite the fractures in their relationship, Cecil can't really get over the fact that, while Daemon was no where close to perfect, he was her father, and the bond they had combined with the sacrifice he made is something can't help but grieve over.

"Oh, my God, I feel it in the air Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like a snare Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere Nothin' scares me anymore (One, two, three, four)

Kiss me hard before you go Summertime sadness I just wanted you to know That, baby, you the best

I got that summertime, summertime sadness Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness Got that summertime, summertime sadness Oh, oh-oh, oh

Think I'll miss you forever Like the stars miss the sun in the mornin' sky Later's better than never Even if you're gone, I'm gonna drive, drive, drive

I got that summertime, summertime sadness Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness Got that summertime, summertime sadness Oh, oh-oh, oh."

Wouldn't It Be Nice if Metatron and Xiang could just sit down and get along for a few moments while looking past their species prejudices and work on agreeing that something needs to be done about the Soulmate System, because it's definitely malfunctioning? Said by Azriel and Jezebel as they "fight" while their caretakers are getting deep into that steel on steel, sword on bullet action.

"Wouldn't it be nice if we were older? Then we wouldn't have to wait so long And wouldn't it be nice to live together In the kind of world where we belong?

You know it's gonna make it that much better When we can say goodnight and stay together

Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up In the morning when the day is new? After having spent the day together Hold each other close the whole night through

But happy times together we've been spending I wish that every kiss was never ending Oh, wouldn't it be nice

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true And, baby, then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do Oh, we could be married (Oh, we could be married) And then we'd be happy (And then we'd be happy) Oh, wouldn't it be nice

You know it seems the more we talk about it It only makes it worse to live without it But let's talk about it Oh, wouldn't it be nice?

Goodnight, oh baby Sleep tight, oh baby Goodnight, oh baby Sleep tight, oh baby Goodnight, oh baby Sleep tight, oh baby!"

She has had so many days. One after the other.

Mortimer, pre-trauma, was not a violent person; he was a pacifist.

Cecil, his familiar, very much is not.

[grimbeak]

like genuinely i don't think 250 will ever stop making me upset. it's just. the absolutely brutal flanderization/misinterpretation of every single character. how lauren just fucking left. how kevin was perfectly fine after his apparent murder in the previous episode. how nothing happened during the weather. the abuse monologue. how cecil suddenly thought kevin was on laurens side. no charles or donovan. no further comments on lauren being manipulated by the smiling god just like kevin was. there were no voice actors other than cecil. i had to write the transcript for it bc they didn't post it for months. i. just. i don't know. i don't know.

[cryptidfuckery]

I really need to know that you guys understand that you liked me as a Cecil I cosplayer bc I can become the ultimate white blonde twink right. Like you guys understand that right. Like you understand the cosplay wasn't even actually that good right. Plwase. Pleas e tell me you know that

[dandelioncasey]

Someone explain to me what exactly hazbin hotel is please, I keep seeing it everywhere and idk if I want to get invested in yet another set of fictional characters

[the-busy-ghost]

Love that Wilkie Collins apparently kept getting letters from guys who were convinced that Marian Halcombe must have been based on a real woman, begging him to introduce them because they were desperate to marry her

[waterloggedsoliloquy]

people who conflate "i like this character" with "i want this character to be/turn good" baffle me for a lot of reasons, the big one being so fundamentally uncomfortable with having your morals challenged that you can't like a character unless you're imagining them in a scenario in which they conform to your already-held and unchallenged worldview

[worldwright]

I LOVE THAT CECIL GOES CLUBBING. MIDDLE AGED IMMORTAL MAN AND HIS MIDDLE AGED IMMORTAL HUSBAND IN THE FUCKING CLUB ‼️‼️

[marshmallowloves]

Cecil: ...How the hell do you know about that?! Yoshimitsu: I, too, occasionally enjoy the wonders of the internet! Cecil: And you watch Dashie?? Yoshimitsu: I like it when he says "the homie Yoshi."

never in my life will I be good at drawing Yoshi in any of his costumes. but I'm still gonna make stupid shit like this anyway djfkg

Yoshimitsu canonically has "surfing the internet" as one of his hobbies in the Tekken 3 manual so I think he would know about memes and lets plays and such. but Tekken 3 came out in 1996 so I also think it would be surprising to hear him reference something modern and not like. hamster dance or whatever

(also his text says "100cc" but I spelled it out because I think it's funnier that way dkjfg)

[shadethechangingman]

i got to "he is holding a knife" last night (listened to sister cities: vermillion falls up thru mother lauren then went to bed) and i swear "he is holding a knife. he is still holding a knife" was one of the older episode intros but alas i looked it up and instead spoiled the reveal for The Boy right before i got to it but also i REALLY swear cecil said that exact phrase before
