I know I've sent you enough asks about Poppy and Kingston... But now I've been thinking about their trip to Australia and now I HAVE to send you my thoughts on them in the Outback XD

Of course as usual, you don't have to answer right away, and whether these are true on Kingstons end is up to you ^^ and if you have any thoughts on this, I'd love to hear them!!!

First things first. The language/slang barrier. Can you inagine??? XD I did not confirm if your guys language was still the same around the 40's, but still!!! Like-

Kingston: *sees Poppy packing shoes that probably aren't the best for the Australian environment* Yeah, we're gonna get you some thongs, love.

Poppy: ... Honey, we're going to meet your parents??

I know that by then they've more than likely cleared some things up about their languages, but still, this was too hilarious for me not to include XD besides, hearing your boyfriend talk about bringing thongs to his parents' house would factory reset any American I bet XD

Poppy just- not at all being prepared for the Bush XD but also loving it!! She's not used to not having the sounds of the bustling yet dangerous city outside her window at night, but she definitely appreciates the lack of it. Having neighbors being literal yards apart and not having to worry about walking too loudly for people below you, etc. Of course Poppy still minds her manners, but it's very jarring and relieving for her out here ^^

Of course, Poppy on the farm. If Kingston was raised here, he can introduce Pops to the animals!!! And just in general, assure her woth the Australian wildlife... But also giving her a heart attack when he just calmly picks up a snake that snuck in their room that night, or wave a dismissal hand at a dingo XD (omg imagine if Kingston Kangaroo got into a fight with a human kangaroo!!! I wanna see that. And I want Poppy to see that and be very surprised what real-life kangaroos are like XDD)

Again, Poppy going through a culture shock with Australia. Idk if people in general in Australia don't care about filtering their words like Kingston, but if they do, ho boy Pops is in for a treat XD

Ok, time for your regularly scheduled angst. Poppy would be trying so hard to impress Kingstons parents. She's upping her etiquette to the max and is going to be stressing out about how Kings parents will perceive her :( though something tells me that Mr. And Mrs. Kingston will be quick to assure her ^^

All in all, it's a very surprising culture shock for her, but she loves it all the same and would love to move somewhere outside of the city with Kingston someday ^^

No. Never enough Poppy and Kingston XD

First off, coming from an Aussie, I can genuinly say that the thongs thing will never not be funny XDD Yes, I'm sure, hearing that would be a surprise for her 😅😄 And Kingston would know e x a c t l y what he's doing, cuz we are perfectly aware of American slang and non-slang XD He would just say it, smooth-faced, and move on. Rena will perpetuate the horror, too. So Ryan will have to let her in on the secret (whils King's whining that Ryan ruined his fun XD ). But eh 🤷‍♀️ There are other fun Aus Things to tease her with 😏

~

Poppy: OH, it's SANDALS! Oh my- thank goodness. Kingston how dare you do that to me!!

Kingston: Awww, Ry, you had to ruin the fun?

Ryan: I'm just being a friend. What she's really gotta worry about is the drop bears, anyway 😏

Poppy: Drop- Drop bears??

Rena: 😏 Mhm, scourge of Aus, those fucken drop bears.

Kingston: 😏😏😯 OOOOOOooooo you're right. When you're right, you're right, Ry. Don't worry Pops, I won't let those viscious cunts get you.

Poppy: W h a t???

~

Ahhhhh! Imagine bonfires with Poppy and Kingston's family!! XD They're out in the middle of nowhere so as long as weather permits, they can set up a nice fire and roast marshmallows, and look for the southern cross and orion, and listen to kookaburras!! God I'm suddenly so jealous XDD

Omg, Kingston introducing Poppy to the animals 💛💛💛 And don't forget- Kingston introducing Poppy to Aussie snacks!! Vegemite, Tim Tam's, Milo, twisties, anzac bickies, fairybread, lamingtons, pav, shapes, etc. Obviously some of these are more modern but hey, if they're toons they're immortal! Kingston showing Poppy how to Tim Tam Slam! ^^ (she will never be the same. Girl will be importing Tim Tam's to the US in order to tim slam them- )

Haha, as for how the regular person talks... yeah I guess their could a culture shock there 😄 It's not that fuck and cunt are every second word or anything but we're definitely not as sensitive about them as I think the US probably is (or at least older generations?). Cunt is for sure used as a term of endearment, especially if you're mixing with bogans XD I'm sure by that point Poppy will be used to that though from Kingston! XDD He's the most g e n u i n e aussie bloke XD Friendly, but loud and a little kinda scary.

Awwww, King's parents will l o v e Poppy!!! I'm basing them off of any and all of my aussie friends parents, so they're friendly and sweet and inclusive ^^ When Poppy arrives they just want her to r e l a x. 'We're not here to scare you sweetheart, our home is your home ^^ Now we were thinkin of frying up some fish for dinner, what do you think? We'll have whatever you want ^^'.

[stellawolfearts]

Ya know, the parallels to Mei and Wukong kinda lead to another obvious parallel that scares me. A lot tbh.

Fire burns bright.

It casts quite a big shadow, dontcha think?

Y O U

OHMYGOD YOU

THATS RIGHT

AND YNOW WHO I THINK IS SIMILAR TO MACAQUE

MK

OKAY OKAY OKAY U GOT MY BRAIN GOIN I WAS GONNA NAP BUT NOW OOOOOO MYGOD SO SOO SO

READTHI S POST HEEERRRE!!!!!

THEY DONT LISTEN TO MK OR TAKE HIM SERIOSULY THIS MIGHT CHANGE IN S4 BUT THISTHISTHISTHI

I see alot more of Macaque in Mk then Wukong.

Abandonment issues man. abandonment issues.

i need to hurry up and write a macaque analysis but bro i think deep down all Macaque wants is people to care about him and people he can care about. he says he wants revenge but deep down hes hurt, hes alone. hes not a bad person hes done bad things because hes been hurt and alone for HUDNREDS AND PROBABLY MORE YEARS. old habits die hard. hes been alone and siffering for so long what else is there for him other then the revenge he seeks.

then we have Mk, sweet Mk. genuinly believe that if Mk was hurt enough by his friends he would turn into Macaque.

say what you want but i think those two are so similar that if the right shit happened Mk would turn into a resentful cocky ass like Macaque.

Mk cares enough about his friends he sacrificed his own mental health for them bc he didnt want to burden them with his issues (THEY ALSO WOULDNT FUCKING LISTEN TO HIMAAAAAA)

IN CONCLUSION

MEI=WUKONG

MK=MACAQUE

NO YOU CANNOT CHANGE MY MIND,

i have so many thoughts about these four just so so many.

[icestardragonhc]

The post I reblogged earlier made me think if I should post this but anyways some AU info dumping incoming.

Long post is long keep reading if you’re interested.

In my AU legendary Pokemon (who happen to be dragons often) and their respective human, in most cases share mental or even physical connection that can lead to mental melds in rare cases.

Depending on the Pokemon, this can lead to different effects and unlock certain abilties.

In my AU, each Tao dragon has abilities locked behind the hero - dragon bond. For starters, as an example, Reshiram and Zekrom need it to stay out of their stone forms and unlock their powerful lvl 100 moves. In return their heroes gain some of their innate attributes and powers. The hero replaces what has been lost in the original dragon’s splitting, what the dragons otherwise could not acess as the splitting was due to a strong bond the dragon shared with its former friends.

As an example because I love them so much, I gonna explain how Kuyrem and Ghetsis use their connection and how they complement and benefit each other. Their bond enables Kyurem to reconnect with old pieces of itself that were lost in the tides of time, such as the splicer, Reshiram, Zekrom and other various pieces spread over Unova. That led to Kyurem being able to partially shapeshift to white and black form without fusion. It’s usually only a body morph and it can’t produce and fire or eletricity on its own.

As you all know, Kyurem and Ghetsis have a fucked up right body side. Since Kyurem’s hero requirements aren’t about pure hearts or some boring bullshit but about being healed, I thought it might only be logical if this effect is mutual. Their connection to each other slowly heals them and mends their old wounds to some extent. Kyurem eventually regains the ability to actually fly oppossed to just leviate with stong ice winds and Ghetsis gains back vision on his right eye, althrough it changed colour because I’m quirky. Their right side becomes each other’s center piece of their bond. When they fly together, they can also combine their senses. Kyurem has forward facing eyes like a human but its eyes are very sensible to light and sun and it cannot see very well in bright conditions. It can also not differ between colours as well. It being a noctunal hunter and all.

Ghetsis doesn’t have this problem, althrough very sunny weather can be hard on his eyes (ah the pain of having no or barely any melanin in your eyes). This can be easily fixed by goggles or glasses tho. Also Kyurem genuinly ejoys his human colour vision. He can also act as 2nd pair of eyes for back view as Kyurem’s field of view is confined to its front.

Reshiram’s and Zekrom’s bond with their trainer works in a similiar way, being each others eyes, cover their dragon’s blind spots and offering a tactical advantage over any enemy that cannot emulate what they have.

This is roughly what I imagine their respective field of vision to be. I’m not a pokemon professor so don’t lynch me.

The dragon-hero bond in my story gets even deeper and whackier but I thought I might retell the basics and focus on the more obvious effects.

Thanks for reading!

PERSONAL REQUEST FOR @caramelsunrise 

Y/N’s POV

“You’re not trying hard enough.”

His words ran through my mind with each punch that hit the bag attached to the ceiling.  I gritted my teeth as I struck it harder and harder, so desperate to prove him wrong. 

“Toughen up, sweetheart. They won’t go easy on you like I will.”

Tears brimmed at the corners of my eyes, but I fought them back as I continued my routine. Usually, it started with training with Bucky Barnes. He worked me to my limit, pushing me beyond my own physical capabilities and claiming that I wasn’t good enough. Nothing I could do would be good enough for him.

He would always dismiss me earlier than what we had scheduled, and I always left, with a mixture of anger and confusion as to why he would treat me like this. But after a few weeks of taking all his critism, I decided to train separately from him. I did not need a man’s help to take care of myself. 

“Your hits are weak.” I closed my eyes and paused as his voice echoed in the empty gym. “You got to put more power into your punches.”

“I don’t need your help, Barnes.” I gritted my teeth, before resuming what I was doing. His footsteps echoed across the floor and my body grew tense as he grew closer to me. 

“Maybe you don’t want my help…” Bucky’s face moved into my line of vision and I scowled. “But you do need it. You need to work on your stance.”

“Bucky…” I took a deep breath. “Leave me alone.” 

“I have a responsibility for this team.” He took a step closer to me, his blue eyes livid as he stared down at me. “I won’t let anyone die because they’re simply too ignorant to learn how to fight properly. “

“I know how to fight properly!” I snapped, and stepped back. 

“Do you now, doll?” A smirk pulled at the corners of his lips as he looked at me before opening his arms wide. “Give me your best shot.” 

I stared at him for a moment, just taking it all in. His cockiness, his anger, and his hatred.  His blue eyes, which I always thought were captivating and stunning, were clouded with emotions that I couldn’t even read. This was a whole new Bucky, one that the rest of the world never got to see. I didn’t understand why it was the Bucky I got to know and face every day. 

“I don’t have to fight…” I said slowly, before stepping forward towards him. “… to prove my worth.”  I shoved him hard in the chest, watching as he stumbled backwards a step. I felt the tears pooling in my eyes start to slide down my face, but I didn’t care. “I don’t have to prove anything to you. You hate me?  Fine. Just leave me the hell alone. I wanted to know you… but if this is the way you want it? Fine. Fuck you, Barnes.” 

I turned around to walk towards the door, but felt a metal arm grip onto my wrist. I whirled around to face him, and glared at him darkly. “Get the fuck off of me, or so help me God, I will take you down.”

His eyes were different now. They weren’t angry, they were regretful. They didn’t hold hatred, they held sadness. It was if my words had flipped a switch in him. But I didn’t care. 

I yanked my hand free, and he let me go. I slammed the door shut behind me as I left, and stormed to my bedroom, trying to slow the tears that were streaming down my face.  Even though the rest of my future was uncertain, I did know one thing: that was the last time I would let Bucky Barnes push me around.

TWO DAYS LATER:

“Alright. This is a simple in and out mission. We just need to get the intel from the base, and then we can all go home. Casualties are not a problem. Do whatever you need to get that hard drive. Now, move out.” 

I nodded simply, and pulled out my gun, making sure it was loaded and that the safety was off. After making it inside, I pulled out my map, and began looking for where the secured room was. A hand grasped my shoulder, and I whipped around, my gun aiming at none other than Bucky Barnes face. He raised his hands in mock surrender, a smirk playing at his lips. “You really gonna shoot me, doll?”

I scoffed and pulled the gun away before starting to walk away. “I wish I could.” 

“Doll, come on…” Bucky sighed and walked after me. “Can we talk?”

“My name is Y/N, not doll.” I turned around and glared at him. “There, we talked.”

“We need to talk about what happened a few days ago.” His smirk faded away, and concern filled his eyes. “I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

“Well… you did, Barnes.” I shook my head slowly. “You made me feel worthless, as if I didn’t deserve a place on the team, or as if I didn’t deserve to be anywhere. I don’t know what the hell your problem is, but I think it would be better if you left me alone.” I walked away, unintentionally exposing myself to HYDRA guards only twenty feet away.

“Y/N-“

“That’s enough, Buck-“ My words were caught in my throat as a bullet shot straight into my shoulder. I turned my head to look at Bucky, his eyes wide and mouth open in shock. Before I could say another word, another bullet lodged into the same shoulder and my body slowly fell to the ground.

 I could feel the blood soaking through my uniform, and I began to shake as I realized that this could be the end for me. Blurred figures and fuzzy voices were all I could make out, and a few moments later, gun shots began to fire. A familiar face entered my vision and I realized it was Bucky. 

“Don’t close your eyes, Y/N.” HIs voice seemed urgent as he pulled strips from his shirt to press as a bandage against my wound. “We’re gonna get you out of here, just stay with me.”

“Y-You were right, Buck.” I managed to speak, as blood bubbled on my lips and I stared up at him through glassy eyes. “Maybe I was t-too ignorant to learn.”

“This is not your fault.” Bucky shook his head quickly, as he continued to put pressure on the wound. “You’re not going to die. Just stay awake.”

“Mm…” I slurred as I felt darkness lulling me to fall asleep. 

“Y/N!”

His voice began to slow down, and darkness crept into my vision. I smiled weakly at him once more, before saying. “I’m s-sorry.” 

My world went black, and I didn’t know if I’d ever see the light again. —- The next thing I knew, my eyes were slowly starting to flutter open. I looked around the room and realized that I was in a small hospital bed. I was back at the base. I turned too quickly, and winced as I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder. 

A bandage was wrapped around my shoulder, holding a pad in place to protect the wound from infection. I leaned back against the pillow, and looked to the door. 

Bucky was leaning against the doorway, his arms crossed against his chest. Dark circles were forming under his eyes and his hair was a mess. A small smile pulled at his lips. “You’re awake.”

“W-What happened?” I asked softly, and gestured toward the chair. He walked over and sat down, his eyes never leaving me. 

“You were shot. Twice.” Bucky gulped, as if trying to compose himself. “You blacked out, but we were able to get you back in time to save your life. Both of the bullets are out, and now it’s only time that will help with recovery.”

“You look exhausted.” I said, as I took in his appearance. 

“I couldn’t sleep knowing that your life was on the line.” My heart jumped slightly at his words, and I smiled softly as his hand touched mine. “It was my fucking fault.”

“No, it wasn’t.” I shake my head. 

“Yes, it was. Or else you wouldn’t have walked away, right into HYDRA’s trap.” 

“They would’ve been waiting there anyway.” I squeezed his hand gently, and kept my gaze locked with his. “There is nothing you could’ve done.” 

He sighed shakily before looking back at me. “I’m sorry. For everything.”

“I forgive you…” I smile. 

“I have a hard time with feelings, ever since… HYDRA.” Bucky looked away. “And I really like you. But I thought it would be better to push you away, out of harms way. Clearly that didn’t work.”

“Bucky…” I leaned closer, and touched my hand against his face. He looked up, his eyes sparkling with emotion. “You could have just told me. “

“I was doubtful you felt the same way.” He shrugged. 

“But I do.” I let out a small laugh. “All this time, I thought you hated me.”

“Far from it, doll. “ Bucky smiled genuinly, before moving closer so our faces were inches apart. “From now on… I only want to do this together, not separate. But only if that’s what you want.”

“Of course…” I leaned in and kissed him gently. After a few moments, we pull away and lean our foreheads together. “Only ever together. “

Keeping the cheese on my cracker #2

The best day of my life was augest 12, 2008. That’s the day my son was born. my rock. my world. my reason. it also was a very hard day. you see, my son was a twin. i lost the other one pretty early on, but its still hard to mourn the loss of one baby and celebrate the birth of another. for months i couldnt do things in pairs. but i love my son. he is so smart and so kind. he genuinly cares about others before himself. i must be doing something right..

one of the hardest days of my life thus far is september 4, 2015. i gave birth to my still born son. i watched his heart stop on the monitor and i cried for weeks. he was sick and i knew it. he was making me sick. the meds didnt work. i had to make a choice no mother wants to make. i had to choose to either keep living for Matthew or risk it all for Emory. and they couldnt even promise he would make it to his first birthday. I chose to stop the meds and let natire take its course. some times i regret it. but then i remind myself that i did what was best for him and for matthew. how was i gonna explain to my 5 yr old son that his brother just suddenly died? it was better for him to know he was sick in my belly and going to heaven with nana where he can get better. i still have a hard time. i cried for months wondering what i did so wrong in this life to deserve such a punishment. why did i have to have my baby taken from me, yet so many people who dont deserve to have babies get to keep theirs? 

i got very sick after Emorys birth. i ended up with an infection that spread thru my abdomin like wild fire. 5 days after the birth i was rushed to the ER with my body in shock and shutting down. why me? why now? but i kept telling myself, you have matthew to think of. you cant quit now.

just that january i was rushed to ICU because i was septic. i was to busy taking care of everyone else i was ignoreing my own body. i spent 9 days in ICU and it was hell. the drs werent sure if i was gonna make it. i wasnt responding to meds and allergic to others. but i stayed strong. i wanted to go home. they agreed to put in a PIKK line and i had to do infusion every day for 62 days, but i got to be home with my son. it was horrible. i was so sick. so drained. id get up and drive 45 minutes to bring matthew to school and then 45 minutes to the hospital for treatment for 6 hours then drive back to get matthew and drive home. it was exhausting. but i did it. and finally i was free of the danger.

or so i thought. 3 months later im being rushed to the ER with failing kidneys to find out i was pregnant, that started a whole new battle. at least 3 times a week i was in the ER and i had numerous drs trying to save me and Emory.

right before i found out i was pregnant i tested positive for the 3rd time for cervical cancer. and last month after being clear for 3 years.. its back! i just spent a month in the hosptial trying to figure out what was wrong with me. not keeping even water down, extreme pain, exhausted beyond words. i wanted to give up so bad. 4 surgerys later and i got to come home only slightly better. still have a few more procedures to go including figuring out what to do with the cancer this time... its exhausting! im so depressed. im so weak and it makes me frustrated. i dont like not being able to do the things ive always been able to do. i hate having to ask for help. i hate that i have to decide what one main thing i want to do each day before my body is spent. i just want to be better!!

[violentviolette]

okay so we're gonna get a little real for a second re: my issue of whether or not i want to come out to my friend on sunday. it is also relevant to know we used to date. weve been completely platonic for years now, but weve always been attracted to one another. so, my real problem here as always is my shit brain. this time in particular its my npd and the need for all people, especially people who i like, to view me as attractive. this is a huge priority and only made worse by the fact that my parents are also very concerned with appearances and lots of my childhood abuse and trauma center around my physical appearance. so heres the issue. i dont pass. at all. and frankly any attempts i make at looking more masculine only ever seem to get me as far as "not hideous butch woman" and frankly being read as a butch woman is more triggering for me than being read as a femme woman. and like, when im dressed femme im absolutely attractive. theres no doubt there. but dressing femme at this point is honestly traumatizing. it brings up the worst feelings of being forced to look like that for so long. I was hyper femme, it was torture and thinking about how i used to present makes my skin crawl. but i was attractive. and i know its disordered to feel this way but i need him to see me and think im still attractive. because its important to me that people think im attractive and i know when i dress the way that makes me most comfortable im not attractive and i dont know how to reconcile these two emotions. because i dont actually think im capable of wearing a bra and a dress and shaving and doing a full face of makeup.... but he has only gotten hotter since the last time i saw him and i will be able to see it all over his face if he doesn't think the same about me and that thought genuinly makes me want to set myself on fire

02x06

- can i just say how much i love the fact that magnus keeps his magic ingredients right next to jam etc.? i mean, how iconic

- sending alec a fire message because alec was ignoring him? but magnus needed to see him because he was so worried about him I'M NOT OKAY BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT OKAY this is so important? alec always refuses to think about himself, he doesn't want to think about his feelings, he prefers pretending that the pain isn't real. like it's not important because other people have it worse and he should be there helping them instead of thinking about himself but then there's magnus being worried, reminding him that he's there for him, that he can't always think about others. that he needs to be happy too because he deserves to be happy

- i will be forever in love with alec's reactions when he's drinking any kind of alcohol. he really is innocent in SOME WAYS, isn't he?

- will i ever get over the fact that alec missed ON PURPOSE because magnus was pouting and alec just wanted him to smile again? of course i won't. he got played so good but it was still the most adorable thing. but when magnus finally showed him he's totally slaying, alec was turned on. like, not even trying to hide how turned on he was. i'm living

- ahhh, the worst thing that can happen on first date? talking about how many exes you've got. especially when two people starting to date are literally the opposite of each other and i gotta say, i was very unsure how i felt about alec asking magnus how many people he's been with. but in the end, he realised that this really didn't matter. that he wanted to be with magnus more. that he wouldn't give up just because of his insecurities. it was never about magnus being with many people, it was about the fact that alec was just scared. he's so inexperienced. that's exactly the reason why magnus was scared too. afraid to do anything because what if he broke alec? he called him innocent... like magnus is not and that being with him would break alec this showed just how healthy their relationship is and could be. yes, they will always face some difficulties but they know they like (love?) each other too much and it is possible to go through any problems. together.

- i always knew i couldn't have what i wanted until you came along i have so much to say about this? alec always thought he would end up alone or try to please his parents and marry some shadowhunter woman. he thought he would never be truly happy. but magnus came into his life and showed him that it's possible? i know alec came out on his own terms and for himself but magnus had such a huge role in this and when alec tells him just how much that means to him, magnus is so surprised? he was freaking out about not wanting to destroy that 'innocent boy' but here's alec... telling him how important it is to him to have magnus in his life

- when alec says 'magnus...', it's like magnus already knows what alec is trying to say. the pain on his face absolutely kills me. his past is in the way of his happiness and he can't stop it. when alec almost leaves, magnus doesn't say anything. it's like he's given up but alec taking a deep breath and trying to deal with his insecurities... this is so important and beautiful.

- i don't care how many people you've been with i don't care how many people you haven't been with they both struggle, this isn't an easy situation. but they both know that what they have is something special and they want to make this work because it's worth it and they both deserve to be happy

- and a whispered 'i'm all for effort'? i'm a real mess. magnus lets himself have this, to try because he sees that alec truly wants this, even if he's scared

- also, one date and they're already talking about having a real relationship. they're so #married and i'm living

- malec being the softest boyfriends saved my life. it was so pure and i’ll be crying forever

- MAGNUS' HANDS ON ALEC'S WAIST, ALEC'S HAND ON MAGNUS' ARM I'M FINE THIS IS FINE

- and magnus is adopting his first shadowhunters, interesting jace feels like magnus is his only option. jace feels that magnus is a good person because of the way that he's with alec and because of that quick moment they shared when jace came to bring alec back

- i still feel seriously weird about the pack stopping looking for luke after a what... day? two? seriously? luke is their alpha and they give up on him just like that? especially when they know very well what he's going through? if maia knew that, everyone did. but she was the only one willing to go find him

- i was so worried about luke. going through random transformations, not being able to control himself because he was hurting so much. he loved jocelyn his whole life, she was the love of his life and then he lost her, just like that. i can't even imagine how painful it must have been for him

- that scene where luke saved maia? i am absolutely speechless. she had nobody but luke was there for her, trying to calm her down, trying to help her. luke is just too good for this world and we don't deserve him and alisha and isaiah were amazing? i was genuinly in tears

- luke's transformation was made so realistic? it was like i could almost feel his pain? i honestly i can't begin to imagine what he must felt in that moment... turning into a wolf, ready to attack some mundanes but simon talking about clary stopped him? i was in tears because luke loves clary so much that he is able to control his emotions. clary is now the most important person to him. and he would do anything for her

- it's good seeing clary and jace acting more like siblings and jace trying to help clary figure out things connected to that rune or warning her about the clave. at least it's not creepy incest so i'm seriously happy

- clary seriously matured so much? she could still be angry or blame alec for what happened to jocelyn (even though it wasn't his fault at all) but she's just worried about him because he feels guilty? i'm really proud of her

- clary walking out of the water in her wet dress... what is air???? this was so hot? like, obvs amazing body but she was so confident walking out of it? finally proving to everyone that yeah, she might be valentine's daughter but she's nothing like him at all

- do you always talk this much? i absolutely LOVED maia and simon's first meeting. simon talking way too much as always and maia just being so casual. let's go find luke together

- that moment when maia tells simon she tried to kill jace and suddenly he's so impressed with her and basically human heart eyes emoji. this is so pure and beautiful

- maia and simon exchanging their downworlder stories were so amazing? like, nobody will understand you like the other downworlder will. even if maia and simon are like the opposites, they still go through a lot of similar things and feelings. and i'm really glad simon found her because she just gets him?

- i love how soft izzy is always with clary? always thinking about her, always explaining things to her. but i'm so worried about her... her hand is already shaking because of lack of yin fen?

- my heart is absolutely in pieces after that scene where izzy almost drowned in the water and then she has to give up on one of her biggest dreams to go into the citadel i really hoped she would think about it before asking for more from victor. but i guess that’s just too addictive, isn’t it?

- raphael doing encanto on simon's mum? yeah... why do i have a feeling it's not gonna work anyway? cause she's gonna be freaked out about this somehow . like she knows she remembers SOMETHING but just can't figure out what it is?

- i am absolutely in love with irons sisters, they're SO badass??? i mean, who can get an intro like this? making weapon and fighting? they are AMAZING. i'm not surprised at all izzy wanted to become an iron sister when she was younger

- the citadel looks absolutely AMAZING and i am literally izzy when she looks at it for the first time

Amanda/The Rowdy 3 Ship Ask

@everythingremainsconnected, requested I do Amanda/The Rowdy 3 for the ship ask! Send me you dghda ships and I’ll answer the questions accordingly :)

1) Who spends almost all their money on the other? Amanda enjoys spoiling the Rowdy 3 whenever she has some cash by taking them out to a fancy dinner, or buying everyone a new weapon. Martin tells her he doesn’t want a new bat however, as his is special, so she buys a baton for herself. 

2) Who sleeps in the other’s lap? Amanda likes to stretch out across Gripps, Vogel’s and Cross’s laps while Martin drives them around the city. She either takes a nap while Gripps braids her hair or reads a book with Vogel. Cross will draw sick tattoo ideas all over Amanda’s leg with a Sharpie. 

3) Who walks around the house half-naked and who yells at them to put on some clothes? Tbh it’s going to be Amanda again. One time she didn’t feel like wearing pants because it was a hot summer day and fuck the system! The boys aren’t complaining tbh, like it’s really sweltering outside and they’re all down to their underwear to. 

4) Which one tells the other not to stay up all night and which one stays up all night anyway? Gripps and Martin have chastised the group to just go to bed at a normal hour just once!! But Vogel, Gripps, and Amanda are binging their queue on Netflix and they don’t have time for sleep! 

5) Which one tries to make food for the other but burns it all by accident and which one tells them that it’s okay and makes them both cookies? Martin had been teaching Amanda how to bake chocolate chip cookies they made from scratch in Todd’s kitchen, obviously when Todd was out doing something god forbid he catch them wrecking his kitchen with baking supplies! Martin leaves Amanda to watch the cookies in the oven to go fetch the boys from across the hall. They found an apartment with a dog inside and they broke in to pet it. Amanda however has an attack when the cookies have one minute left, she touches the handle of the oven to open it up when suddenly there is a horrible heat encompassing her palms till suddenly she’s alight with a roaring fire that is tearing at her skin and has her crumbled to the floor screaming in agony. They boys come and save Amanda from the attack, but the cookies have burnt and Amanda is crying because she hates this stupid fucking disease. Martin assures her it’s fine, and even eats a burnt cookie. They make a new batch together again while Vogel and Cross munch on crispy cookies on Todd’s couch. 

6) Which one reads OTP prompts and says “Oh that’s us!” and which one goes “Eh not really.” Amanda has a Tumblr obviously, and likes to find every obscure OT3,4,5 prompts those otp writing blogs have to offer and no matter what the prompt is, whether it be them all sitting outside under a tree and eating dirt, or being peaceful gardners who have never done anything wrong ever, she just reads them. Gripps is always like, that doesn’t even remotely sound like us how…? And Amanda is straight up rolled over laughing when Gripps and Vogel are arguing over why they never get any cereal so they could do enact the “Who eats the last of the cereal in your OT5 And who gets mad about it? ” Prompt and piss Martin off. 

7) Which one wears the others clothes? Cross wore one of Amanda’s crop tops to work out in, Amanda didn’t mind and actually thought it was adorable. All the boys share clothes when they’re running low before laundry day, and sometimes Amanda steals one of Martin’s jackets to curl up in and take a nap. 

8) Which one spends all day running errands and which one says “You remember (thing), right?” Amanda will take Vogel and Cross to run errands and when they get back to the van with a bunch of unnecessary purchases, Martin is the first to ask them if they got the thing he specifically asked for. Amanda says she forgot it, and takes Vogel and Cross running back to the store rushing to buy Martin’s thing so he doesn’t know, even though he totally knows they forgot and is now parked in the store’s parking lot waiting for them to come out so they can have a ride home. It’s all fine in the end. 

9) Which one drives the car and which one gives them directions? Martin or Gripps are the only ones allowed to drive the van due to a previous incident, *cough* Vogel trying to drive it into a lake *Cough* and Cross reads from the map or Amanda uses the GPS on her phone. 

10) Which one does the posing while the other one draws? Amanda loves drawing the boys and she has asked every one to pose on their own or will make a group painting. Martin has been asked to touch his beard in every piece Amanda does. 

11) If they were about to rob a museum, which one does the back-flips through lasers and which one is strolling behind with a bag of chips? Vogel and Amanda like to play spy and are back-flipping, army crawling on the floor, pressing themselves against the wall and slowly sliding down the hall to the thing they’re gonna steal. Martin and Gripps won’t admit that they think Amanda and Vogel are cute and just walk to the sword in lock up that they’re stealing while Cross follows Amanda and Vogel just eating a bag of chips behind them and chilling. 

12) Which one of your OTP overdoes it on the alcohol and which and which one makes the other stop drinking?

14) Which one keeps accidentally using the other’s last name instead of their own? Everybody uses Martin’s last name. Martin is the one who brought them all together, takes care of things when it gets rough and keeps them all away from every returning to CIA holding. 

15) Which one screams about the spider and which one brings the spider outside? Gripps and Martin are out gathering supplies for the week while the rest of the group is sleeping, Vogel is peacefully dreaming when he feels a tickle on his nose that wakes him up. Vogel see’s that it’s a spider and starts screaming and smacking his face waking Amanda and Cross up. The spider is thrown onto Cross who squirms and yelps for help, Amanda sleepily gets up and finds the spider crawling over to her side and she see’s the other two freaking out on the far side of the van telling her to kill it when Amanda picks it up and throws it outside the van door. 

16) Which one gives the other their jacket? The boys have all had to give there jackets to Amanda at one point or another. 

17) Who keeps getting threatened by the others protective older sibling? Todd would like to think he is a force not to be reckoned with but really, as he’s sitting across from four of scariest looking guys on the planet trying to stare them down in what he believed to be an intimedating glare he began to get the feeling that perhaps he wasn’t so good at this protective older sibling thing. The Rowdy’s promise Todd that they would never hurt Amanda, never. Todd believes them. 

18) Who’s  the first one to admit they have feelings for the other? Amanda sheepishly admits that she has a crush on her boys. 

19) How good would your OTP be at parenting? Pretty bad/ But not because they couldn’t love and care for their kid, it’s because they’d keep telling the kid to fuck the system and would let them name themselves, and teach the kid how to wreck shit.

24) Which one competes in a competition of some sort and which one is cheering obnoxiously from the sidelines? Amanda isn’t even sure why the Rowdy’s are screaming at her to go and are literally shoving other people around them like they’re in a mosh pit because Amanda is just in a group painting session at the park with random strangers. She secretly loves it though and keeps cracking a wide grin. 

25) Who takes a selfie of the other when they fall asleep on their shoulder? Martin or Amanda do this.

28) If your OTP went on vacation where would they go and who would take pictures? They go on a vacation to an old west ghost town where they explore the museum turned shops, go on a horse ride tour which just means them stealing five horses for an afternoon and exploring, and staying the night in the haunted mayors house. Cross and Amanda are taking the most pictures.
