okay I started watching geek girl, expecting it to be absolutely terrible, and it’s NOT.

it’s super cheesy but it’s actually quite cute??? And the love interest is this model boy who’s genuinely just a total nerd, I love him so much.

[apollos-boyfriend]

genuinely i love the post-mcc vcs when all the sweats get together to talk out their plays and what strategies they found….. it just really encompasses mcc’s spirit of friendly competition because they all just get together and talk about skips and how to cut time on courses FULLY knowing these people will likely be their adversaries next month and their own strategies might be used against them. it’s such a niche and short experience every time but it brings a smile to my fave whenever like 5up and purpled and punz and crew just get together to hype each other up and discuss strategies :]

GUYS OH MY GOD GUYS CHAT GUYS

Being someone’s lock screen seems so personal to me

(Yes this is about nanami)

While on the subject of LoCG, it's frustrating (though understandable) that Dick-as-Robin versus Dick-as-Nightwing are separated. If they were combined, he would EASILY clear Clark to be my #2 most read character. Instead, the top 5 shakes out to be Bruce, Clark, Tim (as Robin), Alfred, and Barbara.

“I thought it would be nice, that’s all. To think that no matter what, no matter where we are or what we’re doing…that some part of us is still connected. It’s the idea that we could just exist that way—that we don't need words or anything else because some part of us always knows.”

Once, Chat Noir and Ladybug were something like entangled particles. Connected. Their fates intertwined. But after Shadow Moth's defeat, something changed. Something Ladybug can't begin to understand.

One fact about quantum entanglement? It can be broken.

I know I always moan about the 90s Sailor Moon anime in my posts and the unnecessary changes they did but I’ll admit this scene was the best 💀

If they were gonna replace the 6 o'clock Demon bus interaction with anything, this wasn't a bad move 😂

Had my weekly one-on-one with my supervisor today. He and i like to do these little icebreaker questions as part of our weekly meeting to chat about non-work stuff. One of today's was "what is your favorite video game character" to which i of course said Karlach.

He also plays BG3 so he thought this was a good choice. And I mentioned how I think Karlach is like life goals for the person i wanna be - how she's so positive and sees the good and beauty in everything and is funny and is ready to throw down for her friends.

And he thought about it a moment and then was like, "well, yeah, y'know, i definitely see those as qualities you already have" and, y'all, I legit feel kind of emotional about it. 😭

[quackle]

got nominated in a twt fic awards thingy (one for funniest fic, one for oneshot of the year), and my one take from this is that someone thinks i'm FUNNYYYYYYY GUYS HOLY SHIT THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE 😁 /pos

(((Hello! Let me drop a concept here that's been circling around my head since a certain part during some parts in the archon quest)))

--------

You were a mere mortal in the grand scheme of things, a speck of dust in the ever grand plan of the beings higher than you. So who were you to question when along with your dendro vision, you were granted the ability to read your fate lines.

They were all sorts of rather quirky, sometimes even funny strings that tie you and a person of interest. One of them had you read that "■■■ will owe you more mora than what you can manage." And lo and behold, one freaky accident that nearly cost you an arm had him pay you an extravagant amount for the troubles he cost (living in luxury had been quite jarring from your humble day to day life). Another rather interesting tid bit had you reeling back at the information from "Your knowledge of the Geo Archon's true fate shall not deter him from his actions." Honestly you were ready to scoff at such bewildering sentence but the gentleman with amber eyes and an knowing smile made you realize that he knew that you knew.

And just like what your fate string says, he will do nothing about it as your knowledge does little to stop his plan.

Sometimes, you have very dangerous premonitions towards others that leave you turning back and never interacting with the other party again. Sometimes, despite your knowledge, things end up inevitably.

Like for example, the strapping young ginger diplomat from Snezhnaya in front of you, grinning and offering to pay you for your services.

"Your heart will be devoured by this beast"

What the hell does that even mean!?

Childe, as you have come to know him, is a rather funny man. He's charismatic, goofy, charming, but you know inherently he is very very dangerous. The way he moves, how he scans his surroundings, his smile...

He is certainly a beast in disguise.

So when he cornered you one night, you were prepared for the worst.

"Would you like to go on a date with me?"

"... Huh?"

A few days of your date night ended in somehow you falling deeply for the man.

He's not just a dangerous Fatui Harbinger, he's a caring older brother, amazing loyal son, protective and passionate boyfriend.

"Hey, uhh, I want you to meet someone..."

And apparently, a literal beast also resides in him.

The big moth-like monster (called Foul Legacy) was just, if not more, affectionate as his human counterpart. If Childe (or Ajax as you have now known him more) was like a playful fox, Foul Legacy is one giant cuddly dog.

You realize that you don't mind such a big revelation that your boyfriend has a huggable beast in him. In fact, you didn't realize how much you cared when you find him injured after the fight with the Traveler.

"I will yell at you about what you nearly did later but right now I want to yell at you for doing this to yourself!"

As you fret over the apologetically cute moth resting on your lap, your eyes settled onto your dendro vision. A string only you could see connected itself onto the giant moth.

"Your heart will be devoured by this beast"

Oh.

"Oh..." a realization hit you as you carefully pat his head.

Truly your heart, your love, was devoured by this beast.

--------

(((Hhrhehjdjs so uhh if you like the fluffy ending as it is please skip this last bit shdjsjsi it's an alternative ending for the angst lovers)))

--------

"Well, would you look at that?" The Doctor's rather amused and cruel voice echoed in your ringing ears. Your nearly blank eyes stared below at where a hole is present in your chest.

Beside him stood Foul Legacy and a glowing green contraption that seemed to have been controlling the beast.

"Elchigen may have been a worthless subject but his contribution had been no less fascinating. This, Wisdom Orb, seemed to be perfect at creating an army for Abyssal creatures." With a cruel laugh, he turned away as your eyes draw upon your glowing green and slowly blanking vision.

The string connected to him read:

"He is a catalyst that will twist your beloved fate"

Your mind grows heavy as you hear a cracking in the distance and a grieving screech that you were rather familiar with. You felt bloodied claws grasp at you desperately as Childe, Ajax, Foul Legacy, you don't know honestly, cries at your dying form.

The string that connects you to him glows as your fate once again echoes in your mind before all fades to black.

"Your heart will be devoured by this beast"

anon please forgive me for hoarding this for a bit but i had to because it's SO GOOD!!!!!!!

at the realization of your fate you're quick to pull Foul Legacy towards your home, ignoring the pouring rain and sounds of battle coming from the ocean and the Jade Chamber. you're both drenched once you reach your humble house, the door swinging shut and locking with a click as you wring water out of your shirt and drag Foul Legacy over to the couch, sitting him down with an order of "wait here". when you return with a pile of towels he's hunched over, knees brought to his chest and refusing to meet your gaze

he looks so ashamed, and your heart softens, walking over and beginning to gently dry his fluffy hair and fur with a towel. gradually Foul Legacy relaxes at the soothing movement, leaning his head against your hands with a rumbling sigh, and in a moment of inspiration you trail your fingers down his cheek and under his chin and begin gently scritching the area. Foul Legacy croons, wings shivering in delight as he cranes his neck upwards and eventually slumps into your arms, pulling you down into the soft couch. he tries valiantly to dry your hair as well, sharp talons holding the towels so delicately, and you both succumb to sleep as the never-ending rain drones against your window, Foul Legacy's claws brushing protectively over the Vision that houses your hopes and dreams

------- (angst version below heheoohohoeohoo)

Foul Legacy has no choice but to run, leaving your body and taking only your Vision as the Dottore cackles in the distance. his mind is filled with horrible images of ripping your heart out, the pulse of that cursed device echoing as you slump to the ground with eyes empty and cold because it's his fault, his fault, his fault. in the dark he mourns for you, alone, for where would a beast such as himself go without the one he loves? Ajax died that day, and even when he transforms back into his human form he simply sits in silence, eyes shining but only with tears

on particularly cold nights he cries, clutching your Vision to his chest and sobbing with grief as he sees and remembers the blood on his claws- your blood. your Vision, previously the vibrant green of Dendro, remains cold and gray, and sometimes he finds himself begging, wishing for it to shine once more and light a path for him, a path back to you and your comforting arms and stern lectures whenever he got injured. but it's impossible, because he watched the light fade from your eyes, your despairing pain as you died, because it's his fault

[worldwright]

An interesting thing I noticed at Geek Girl Con is the sheer difference in the number of people who recognized 98 Vash as compared to Sakura Con.

My working theory is that the demographic for GGC trends quite a bit older than for SC, and so I happened across a lot more people who were in the first wave of Trigun fandom decades ago.

This is honestly one of my favorite parts of this fandom -- just that it's Been Around, technically for longer than I've been alive. I see trimax art from 2013 reblogged and it just gives me warm fuzzies. This community survives. I'm so happy to be a part of it.
