MOON 6

Honeystar announced that she is having kits!

Emberheart has recovered from heatstroke!

-

The leaves were beginning to color themselves for their final dances upon the winds. Emberheart felt invigorated, eagerly going on patrol, and bringing back bunches of blackberries. Honeystar happily talked to him from her perch in the nursery, still as dependably excitable as ever. The star had returned to her crown, he wondered if he’d dreamt of it disappearing in the first place. No matter.

Their dreams, the whole reason they founded BlissClan, were finally coming true.

Ya know what I did?

In March 2023, I became a Mean Mom/Mean Teacher, and took the popular toy away from the ill-behaved children.

I took Tech and made him my own.

Fuck this storyline, they did not deserve the character that my precious daughters love. That other folks adored. Nope. Dr. Mom here says NO.

If the writers and showrunners wanted to treat Tech like that, fine. I won't listen. When have I ever followed orders?

So, I wrote a 140k crossover novel. I put his ass in a universe that appreciates its neurodiverse characters and gives them the fucking arcs they goddamned deserve. A franchise where science was respected, characters of color were allowed to be fully human, LBGTQ folks were represented.

So he's dead in Star Wars. Cool. Good for them. Being wrong ain't a crime.

He's alive in the world of 'The Expanse', leading and being a badass with other neurodivergent folk.

Writing and being creative strongly recommend. 10/10, Dr MM's prescription for sadness.

No More Feelings

I'm not even sad anymore. I'm not angry. I don't feel... anything. Like, my heart's not broken, it's just... gone. Not there at all, anymore. I've never experienced this phenomenon before. Is this what 'shutting down' feels like? I feel empty, but it beats crying every other hour. I'll never make the mistake of falling in love with a fictional character, again.

IRON DAD FANDOM HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEWS

[idk-i-want-mcl-content]

dude i need thomas to leave me aloneee, i'm just watching cinderella, tell me WHY i'm making an AU as we speak w him as the prince send help

[ninyard]

OBSESSED w mic’d up content nin

ME TOO im thinking

- Matt strutting over to Kevin and nudging him to say, “Do you think we could convince Coach to let Neil go in defense again? I’m getting kind of bored,” and Kevin’s like “Dude. You’re Mic’ed up.” And Matt just looks around the stadium into one of the cameras and waves before grinning like, “oopsie daisies”

- Of course Jeremy saying thank you every time he gets the ball is so real to me but his good sportsmanship showing up all the time because he’s Mic’ed up. Helping up his opponents with a “Are you okay, you good? That sounded like it hurt.” Him cheering on anyone else when they get possession

- Nicky dodging a check and running away like, “Cant touch this dunununnun dunun dunun can’t touch this”

- also Nicky yelling everytime someone gets close to him. Kevin telling him to stop screaming and he’s like “but it’s so scawwy 🥺”

- Kevin letting out a little “woohoo!” After he scores and it’s so unexpected and cute. Neil jogs over to him like, “Did you just… woohoo?” And he just tells him to go away

- Renee with her quiet little shows of support. Little whispers of “Yess” and “let’s go!” And “goooood shot very nice”

- Allison being fake flirty with her teammates. Walking over to Dan like “BITCH you looked so hot when you got that ball you’re KILLING IT”

- I think Matt would be the funniest. He spills water on himself and he’s like “Call me a basketballer the way I’m dribbling,” and Aaron is like “What did you just say?” “Don’t worry about it.”

- just the singing. I think Nicky would be dramatically singing all the time. Him doing a little Don’t Rain On My Parade like “DONT tell me not to LIIIIIVE just sit and PUTTAH” and the play starts coming towards him “Don’t rain on my parraaaaaaaad-“ before he screams and checks someone

- Aaron beatboxing while he’s waiting for play to resume

- Neil’s running commentary, “What are you DOING?” “What WAS that?” “Are you kidding me? Are you actually kidding me?” “Jesus Christ.” “No, the ball goes this way, Matt, what the hell.”

- Also Matt taunting the other side, “Hey buddy!” “Fuck off” “Oooooh that’s not very nice. Onto the benches with you. I’ll take the ball specifically from you now and it’s all your fault. And listen, man, I’m not even sorry.”

- They make the decision to mic up Andrew once, and to everyone’s surprise, he’s actually like. Commentating like Neil is. “Wrong way, Dan.” “I’m bored. Will someone do something exciting?” Followed by some oofs and ahs and when someone shoots at him he blocks it like, “Not today.”

⋆˙⟡ — plot ideas !!

hey y'all!! i'm back at it again — meaning i'm bored, it's a dreary autumn, and i'm finding myself retreating back to cutsey fantasylands in my mind 🥰 listed below are a few plot ideas i've had in my notesapp for a while — as always, send an ask or a private message if you'd be interested in any of these up !! happy writing !!

childhood sweethearts (on the rocks)

a plot where muse a and muse b have been friends since childhood — here and there, they would have a one night stand, but never really allowed themselves to progress into anything more than just friends. now, as adults who are figuring out the dating scene isn’t as easy as their parents made it seem, muse a and muse b are seeing each other more and more frequently. eventually, muse a starts seeing someone new, and has less and less time for muse b. i’m talking jealousy, tension!!! muse b realizing maybe they’ve had feelings for muse a the whole time, muse a having to make tough decisions — either continue dating this new person or hurt muse b!!! i liiiiive for drama pls

childhood sweethearts (with a twist)

okay but a plot where close childhood friends reunite — except muse a was in love with muse b growing up, and muse b became muse a’s best friend’s high school sweetheart. muse a concealed their feelings for muse b all throughout their friendship, in high school & college, although both muses definitely had feelings & felt sparks for one another long before muse b started dating muse a’s best friend. despite the connection they’d felt, neither wanted to jeopardize any of the friendships between the three, and ultimately, muse b ended up married to muse a’s bff… except now, years later, muse a and muse b reunite at muse a’s best friend’s funeral. imagine the hurt of losing a loved one but having the comfort of yet another loved one?? blurred lines, tension, second-guesses…….

let me take care of you (southern charm)

okay so i’ve been kicking around a ranch hand plot where muse a is looking for help around the ranch they’ve just inherited due to a death in the family, and seeing as they’re just one person with lots of land, and virtually no knowledge on how to take care of it, it’s impossible to go it all on their own… enter muse b. muse b, a man who not only knows how to work the land but can take care of the ranch with ease, finds it impossible to not take care of muse a, while he's at it. just give me texan sunsets and lovers with low static music crooning in the background from some vinyl record please & ty

friends with benefits (with feelings)

a friends with benefits plot where muse a is dead-set, hellbent on not having a relationship and not getting too intimately involved with muse b; muse b has been in love with muse a for years, and muse a knows this, but still can’t bring themselves to get emotionally attached. i need tensionnnn and like, a lil toxicity ykwim??? for the angst omg 

will you come find me (after the after party?)

so hear me out — a plot where muse a and muse b met at a friend of a friend’s party & instantly hit it off. muse a is immediately infatuated with muse b — they laugh, talk, drink; they even make an incredible beer pong team. at some point during the night, muse a decides to put the moves on muse b. however, after leaving to get them some drinks, muse a comes back to find muse b kissing someone else… and to make it worse? it’s their boyfriend/girlfriend. tbh this plot could have the potential of a shakespearean comedy if we did it right akdjgh ok i'm talking messssssssyyyy 

you feel like home (but i’ve got a different address)

okay so i need a tense plot where muse a and muse b are soulmates, beyond the shadow of a doubt — but muse a is married to a nightmare of a spouse. little by little, they spend more time together one on one, but it’s getting increasingly harder for muse b to see muse a with their spouse, especially knowing how that spouse treats muse a. idk this is a rough plot/work in progress plot but i feel like it has potential to go somewhere!!!

— as always, send an ask or a private message if you'd be interested in any of these up!! happy writing 🥰🥰

"Listen up! This is something you're going to have to do for yourself! [...] Run for your liiiiives!!" - Joseph Joestar.

»——————⋆◦★◦⋆——————«

Jojo Monthly Redraw [2/9] - Battle Tendency

This is the 2nd of a total of nine drawings I'll do throughout the year. I'll be redrawing one scene from each part of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, from Phantom Blood to The Jojolands.

Battle Tendency was more enjoyable for me than Phantom Blood. I consider Joseph a charismatic and very smart character. Even though he later proves to be a bit of a shitty person (coughcheatingassholecough), I'll always appreciate a character that makes me laugh with his shenanigans, like Joseph with the execution of his famous Joestar Secret Technique™ hahaha.

Next month is Stardust Crusaders!

More of my art!

(tw: scissors, needles)

Pov: you get your friendship bracelet from Moon cut off :( (no literally that's the plot I'm not even joking)

Reblogs greatly appreciated!

Not his official outfit! I've since then made an actual design I like for him and will post that once I finish Moon's :> BUT I liked this pic and didn't feel like redrawing so gonna just have to deal

Details abt this one bc I feel like oversharing and have nothing better to do

. Y/n is a socially anxious nighttime security guard. They have no friends + are mega depressed + self-conscious and hide their face behind a pair of sunglasses even at night + chubby bc I SAY SO. Started a fic with them a long while ago but deleted it cause depression, they liiiiive

. Sun has access to a sewing machine (terrible idea on staff's part btw) in the crafting room and is obsessed with sewing costumes, needles, sewing scissors, that kinda thing bc of course he is. His outfit has degraded over the years so he tries to put it back together with random scraps of red fabric. He has a bunch of needles on his lil waist thing for easy access

. The daycare is actually shut down and has been for a long time, but y/n doesn't know that since they only see it at night. Sun has gone stir crazy without kids to take care of and spends his day making costumes and other crafts, preparing for children to arrive... even though they never will.

. Moon is dormant most of the time bc Sun keeps the lights whenever possible; he's very passive and sweet, and will tell bedtime stories to plushies as a way to cope with the loneliness. He's kind of aware Sun's gone batshit but can't really be bothered to do anything about it, at least not till he gets to know y/n better

I'm not sure if they're separate animatronics and Moon just goes offline when the lights are off cause like I'm prolly gonna give him a different outfit so

. Basic story idea: Y/n is doing one of their night shifts and gets a noise notification coming from the daycare. Since they never got the memo about it being closed down, they assume there's a break in and goes to check it out. Sun is nervous as shit when the two encounter each other, way out of practice with socializing, but quickly warms up and decides he must become their best friend at any cost. Y/n on the other hand is awkward as hell and doesn't know how to act around him. Sun makes as many efforts to lure them into the daycare as possible, and slowly becomes more and more obsessive, going so far as to hack into the webcam of their laptop, the security cams to see what they can see, watching them at the start and ends of shifts to make sure they don't interact with anyone else

Just as y/n begrudgingly starts to warm up to him, the power goes out and they meet Moon for the first time. They have this rlly wholesome plushie bedtime story scene but Moon soon lets slip about the daycare being closed-

Y/n starts to realize some shit is going on and confronts Sun about it but at this point he's way too cheery around them and is always dancing around them and showing them his latest sewing creations... so instead they begin turning off the lights manually every night at set times, telling Sun it's for "routine maintenance" or something but really it's to get more info out of Moon

Perhaps Moon starts to become a lil protective of them too~ They are after all a lot better of a listener than any plushie...

At this point they're both fiercely protective/possessive of y/n and don't want them being friends with anyone else. Cue jealousy and the two fighting for their attention~

At some point or another Moon makes them a friendship bracelet since he knows that'll get to Sun since he likes them so much, and also to mark Y/n as his

Sun finds it the next day, grabs a pair of sewing scissors and cuts it off in his first display of outright anger

Beyond that?? No clue 🥲

I feel compelled to refer to this ver of him as Pincushion...

Hello hi! Chapter 5 is liiiiive!

Your snippet:

~~~

It was rare for that particular room to be empty at any time but especially during service. Today though, Dean and Cas found themselves alone with only the distant sounds of the kitchen reminding them that solitude was fleeting. 

Dean could have left the moment his hands were free of dishes, but that soft look in Cas’ eyes was playing on his mind and he wanted one more glimpse of it before he braved lunch service on garnish with someone who already seemed frazzled. 

Cas put his own stack of pans down and turned to face Dean, pleasantly surprised to find him still there and not on his way into the kitchen, which he really ought to have been. Oh well, who was he to complain? He took one quick look around to make sure they were in fact alone before reaching out to Dean and pulling him by the back of the neck into a slow, warm kiss. 

Dean’s hands quickly found their way to Cas’ waist and he sighed into his lips. It wasn’t a long kiss, but it was a damn good one. Dean pulled back just enough to smile at Cas.

‘Hello, Dean.’ Cas’s voice was deep and seemed to rumble through Dean before settling in a spot behind his ribs. He smiled at Cas and gave him another quick kiss, savoring the way his hip felt in his hand.

‘Hey, Cas.’ He took a step back and made a point of committing the feeling of Cas’ fingers trailing down his arm as they separated to memory. ‘Can I see you later?’

‘I’d love it if you did. Same time, same place?’ Cas’ fingers lingered on Dean’s for a moment before seeking out the spaces in between them.

I wonder if we are getting that Little Mermaid retelling 🐚

https://www.tumblr.com/elizascarlets/645472609852653568

it sure looks that way to me, anon! we all know sjm likes to take inspiration from myths and fairytales and i know she never does a line for line retelling but god i am so excited for a gwynriel book lol and az is like the perfect acotar version of eric. they're both oblivious as hell and it makes me laugh. i love it so much

i want them to be friends first, as many gwynriels do, i want them to develop that care and trust for each other without the romantic obligations. i want it to be slow and steady and for them both to have those "ha i don't like them that way... right?" moments, i want them to get jealous because i'm petty and liiiiive for drama like that in books. overall i just really want gwyn to take az by storm and he's so swept up in the hurricane that is her that he doesn't realize he's in love until it's this all consuming thing, you know?

[zeivira]

I just realized both heinkel and subaru both have feelings of inferiority to their parents (which caused subaru to be a neet. )heinkel is nowhere near his parents strength and felt the weight of his parents legacywhile subaru felt inferior to his father and is burdened with being called kenichis son when asked about who he'd make the protagonist if not Subaru, said Heinkel would be the mc.

Heinkel met his wife ( who would tell him that she is sure he can be the next sword saint so she was his rem ) before he had a crisis like Subaru did so he was able to bounce back sooner than him. But with her now gone and Rein easily being better than him it was like a rubber band and shot him even further back

Honestly feel like Aganua if Subaru was based of henikel

Both alcoholics

Both crippling depression

Both fueled by hatred

boboth subaru and heinkel have a girl in a coma who they are trying to wake from it.

Absolutely yes to all of this. Subaru and Heinkel have lots of parallels and I LIIIIIVE for all of them because – while they both faced similar circumstances, the way they dealt with them was completely different.

And arguably, Heinkel did better—at first, at least. Mostly because he did worse. Let me explain:

Heinkel and Subaru both deal with huge expectations—they both fail to meet them. But as far as we know, Subaru actually did meet them at first??? He was popular, had good marks, and people liked him!!! Then he had to put in an effort, didn’t, failed, felt shame about it, and ended up shutting in because of it.

Meanwhile Heinkel was a failure from the get-go! He doesn’t know greatness. Until he meets Louanna—then he does something right??? He has mommy and daddy issues and some people try to ruin his (already pretty bad, because of the aforementioned expectations) reputation, but he still manages to be a good husband.

Cheers for him, cheers for him.

Until he doesn’t, because something bad happened to Louanna, she fell into a coma and the one thing he was good at… he is not anymore.

And I think this is the core difference!!! (I might be wrong, but everyone, please tell me if you disagree).

Subaru dealt terribly with failure at first because he knows how greatness feels. Thus, he shut in.

Heinkel dealt decently with failure at first because he was never great. Then he does, and when he fails, all his previous insecurities return.

But one went through the crisis as a teen, and the other went through the crisis as an adult.

The fact Heinkel is better when Wilhelm gets erased shows his daddy issues are what affects his interpretation of the entire world. More than Louanna’s coma itself, even.

I headcanon that part of the reason Wilhelm is so kind to Subaru is because he feels Subaru is similar to Heinkel, and as he totally failed to bond with his son, he projects his relationship there and tries to bond with a blank state Heinkel instead.

I never really read Aganau If so I can’t talk about that Subaru, but the *from zero* speech always felt to me like the moment in which Subaru learnt to accept failure as something that you deal with to later on try again better, instead of something you must live with and can’t change.

Heinkel’s only success was his wife, so his way to become successful again is to bring her back?

I might be rambling now.  

Anyway, @everyone please feel free to add your thoughts on this. I would love to hear different takes

Worthiness...

(Part 1)

Future Foundation HQ, Science Lab...

Haaaaaaaahhhh.... *Seiko is seen mixing chemicals in a beaker upon a countertop...*

Okay..... Test number....E-Eighteen.... C-careful now... *Seiko slowly turns the beaker to pour a drop onto a glass cylinder on the counter containing another type of liquid it seems...*

*Dwoop*

.............

*......Fizzzzzz......*

Hhheeeeennngghhh....! Noooo, no no no no....! *The drop Seiko poured appeared to spread around the cylinder, but then was overcome by the preexisting liquid in the glass. Completely consuming it...*

Hhhaaaahhhh...Hhhhhhaaaaaaaaahhhh! N-Not again....! Wh-Why can't I figure this ooooouuuut...!

The poison...it keeps completely overtaking it. Can I....r-really do this....?

Will I just continue to....s-screw up again....?

------------------------------------

*Flashback....1 Year into the Tragedy....*

........

...........

........................

*BeepBeepBeepBeepBeepBeep!*

Hhhwaaaahh...! NO! No no no no no, come ooooon!

*Pant, pant, pant* Live, LIVE, LIIIIIVE! YOU HAVE TOOOOO....! PLEEEEASE!

*Seiko is seen to be a small hospital tent, tending to a small boy. His heartbeat is monitored to be extremely rapid, and although Seiko tries to resuscitate him....*

*.............Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*

Hhhhaaaaaaaa.......Uuuurrrrrggghhhhhh.....

.......I'm sorry, Seiko.....

Wooooow Seiko. Sure living up to your talent, aren't you? Can't even save a kid like that.

Uuuuurrrggghhhh....

Ruruka! Have some tact! He just died, don't speak ill of the porr thing like that!

Oh you misunderstand. It truly is a depressing thing. I'm not speaking ill of him....

Mmmmm.... *Ruruka is seen nearby sitting in a chair, with Sonosuke beside her as she feeds him sweets*

I'm just saying I'm disappointed in Seiko for failing like that. I mean the Foundation expects a lot of their Branch Heads.

And it seems like Seiko just isn't up to snuff. Maybe she should step back and quit. I mean she wasn't very confident in her own talent evaluation back then that she had to sabotage mine after all.

I.....*pant*.....told you.....*pant*....I didn't......*pant*...cause that....

Seiko, dear. Don't speak. Rest up for now, you've done a lot these past few hours.

Back to you Ruruka. The Foundation also expects us to get along and work together during times like these. How can you expect us to stop these outbreaks and despair if you keep fighting your allies instead?

Hey hey hey, chill out, Blueberry. I'm right there with ya on stopping these no-good Remnants punks. But even you have to admit that this Foundation is really fishy in certain areas.

Like you've seen the new recruit Tenten. Acting all high and mighty while being a short-stack. And she's not even qualified for her own Branch as far as talent is concerned. There couldn't be a better mismatch! I have a feeling some foul play was issued to get her involved here.

You think she paid her way in?

No, but given her height I definitely think she's at the very least offered Kyosuke a-

AAAAAAHHH!

Hm?! *SHING!* *Sonosuke jumps up brandishes his weapons at Tenten*

....For the record if you're gonna kill me, aim the knife at my neck, I can counter head strikes easily with this thing.

Tenten! Wh-When did you show up...?

Just now. Kyosuke asked me to come in here and check the status of the antiserum, plus I needed to get an exact number on the victims in this incident just in case.
