I was thinking more about the ghost fic idea last night and honestly I think tye fact they're Inherently tragic when it's human x ghost is the draw for me personally

(which.. tbf I was so hyperfixated on tbhk for like 2 - 3 years that it genuinely altered my brain (/--)/(/--)/ )

But yeah I was thinking of ghost hunter "exorcist" kaito (and his on camera partner maki. Who actually knows she is a real exorcist) and their camera man shuichi who's like fated for death in a nene-like manner I just don't rlly know who to make alive and who to make dead besides Kichi and Miu (I have ideas for them... they will npt be miserable ofc /lie (^-^; ♡)

I should put in a note instead of an ask box but I saw the last ask and got inspired 💀

Of course SHUICHI is fated for death xD Why wouldn't he be? Also him being the camera man is awesome!! I imagine him being a little camera shy so Kaito and Maki take the spotlight for him. What a lovely little trio I hope none of them die haha wouldnt that suck

Kokichi would be so unserious as a ghost x_x every paranormal event that takes place in wherever they're haunting is a result of Kokichi and Miu fighting. They're throwing things across the room at each other. If you listen closely you can hear the faintest whisper of words I shan't repeat

I also think it'd be great if Miu just... refused to believe she was dead. You're telling me THIS gorgeous girl genius Miu Iruma DIED? ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ Yeah right

This idea goes so hard though and I can imagine two things that both are equally heartbreaking. Either both Maki and Kaito know that Shuichi is fated for death and dont know whether to tell him or not, or Shuichi knows he is fated for death and doesnt tell his friends . QwQ Kaito would try so hard to save him aagh

Oooh yall got me wanting to write a ghost hunting fic now. I have Ideas. But I can't start another project until I finish Love Letter q_q better get to writing

[the-blind-geisha]

I heard mentions of your version of Sunshine KB, care to elaborate on him?

Also 100% relate to giving him some kind of trauma, mine's a people pleaser because he's trying to make friends because he's incredibly lonely (mostly because people are freaked out by him and his distorted voice)

I am glad I am not alone in giving the Sunshine boy some trauma. xD

He does have a toyhouse where you can read little bits and pieces of him.

But basically, my Sunshine King Boo does have imposter syndrome to the extreme degree. lol His reference sheet is even a slight carbon copy of my LM KB gijinka just mirrored if you look at the two closely. He is still made of paint but kept alive via a soul Rosalina gifted him on LM King Boo's behalf. My LM King Boo felt bad for the guy and wanted him to live.

SS King Boo knows this, and so he has nightmares about the time he truly just felt like some monster without a soul.

He relies too heavily on others to make him feel alive, and it's why he doesn't go out of his way to say he loves anybody in fear of what they will say or do or what fate will say or do to his happiness.

But he is still made of paint. He doesn't bleed blood, he bleeds gold and light-blue paint.

Gold is something that has become more a staple of my Rosalina 'fixing' things. It's like Kintsugi--how the Japanese fix broken things with gold. You can even see it in my gijinka Dimentio's design even if it was an extreme fix. She even fixes a part of my LM King Boo too, so her touch is in almost all my characters.

And Apollo, while I've not done its ref yet, they will be a shine sprite gijinka. ♥

I also built my SS King Boo more on the gambler/ casino angle. While I do have his base doll and plan to give him a beach outfit too, this is his normal appearance, as the Casino King. ♥

Oof, people pleasing. Yeah, that I can understand too well when it comes to your SS KB's creation. Man that's a toughie. Poor guy, being lonely as he is. Q_Q I do hope he finds some friends.

MAN HOLY SHIT HOW HAVE I NEVER REALIZED YOU ARE ODD-CHIPS AND YOU'VE APPARENTLY REBLOGGED MY TURBO ART LING BEFORE TOO !?!?!?!

I'M A MASSIVE FAN OF YOUR ART AND I HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS HI. Your kc blog is one of tbose that motivated me to want to start working on my own for a while now !!!!!

Some day in the future I may also be planning to IM you for a commission or two... given the topic of this ask you might already have an idea of what (better said, who).

GIKJFDIMKFD TO BE FAIR!! My URLs are not at ALL similar.

I've noticed usually people share a recognizable element between their art blog and main, but unfortunately, AllHailWeegee has been my online name since 2008 for literally everything.

"Odd-Chips" only came about when I NEEDED some type of distinct art name (it used to be "OrandaTheUnclever" because. I couldn't think of a name and my friend suggested it hILJKFD)

ANYWAYS I DID!! I REMEMBER SEEING IT POP UP ON DEVIANTART AND SCOURED FOR ANY OTHER PLACED YOU POSTED IT HLKFMKLFD I thought I followed you afterwards cause your style fucks, but apparently not! (This Has Now Been Rectified)

ALSO OH MY GOD AUUGGHHHGHHH!! 🥺 🥺 🥺 I'm so glad to have inspired you and that you like my art so much, hrhgrhhgh! q_q)!! I know that the WiR fandom is a bit small now, but that movie still has a huge chokehold on me and I KNOW it does for other people, too. So I think people would go absolutely sicko mode over a new KC blog.

In any case, I DEFINITELY wanted to try to reopen my commissions again before the month is over! When I moved, I ended up closing them and forgetting about it since I was so preoccupied with acclimating to the Great White North, haha! I LOVE GETTING PAID TO DRAW THAT BALD HEADED BITCH. >:)!! (Ask @appelsiinilight, they'll tell you)

Travel Blog: Leipzig Bookfair Sunday

or: Merch, improvising and Good Byes

4th and last day of the fair. I have to say the last two days went by so fast it's kind of sad how fast. The 4th day was premiering the Ch 249 outfit but as i forgot half of it at home I had to improvise... like doll bag, breakfast jar for Tim, different pants. At least my Road Plushy was with me.

The day started with sadly one of my friends still being sick, we had to left her behind for the day :C I'm still sad about this.

Other than that... if you saw an Allen Walker loading their car that was me lol.

At least it was not raining that day and we were able to get inside pretty quick.

Schu told me he had seen a booth with a box of D.Ggray-man Merch and I checked it out as soon as the vendor hall opened and ...

Con prices are horrible but I needed them. I later swapped the Lavi though as I looked up photos and noticed I already had this variant, I now have a different one (con haul pic at the end of the entry).

The whole day was running around trying to find my DGM Mutuals as they wanted to see the blue coat, it took us a while but we found them. I managed to ... not take any photos with them. :') just one super quick one with Alice but they were very busy with filming stuff, that's alright, it's so nice to see people loving cosplay and having fun.

We took a ton of photos that day, the light was awful on some locations, but there are some very pretty shots! Also featuring the shirt I made as I love the poofy sleeves.

The day ended around 4 this time as my friends went back to their place to pick up the sick friend and leave on time and I had to travel back home as well.

No DGM Cosplayers I found that day but I was told several times that it's great to see DGM Cosplayer around and I was complimented for the amount of details I put into my costumes and props ;w;

But I have to say I somehow did not manage to see the whole fair this time?! Like I didn't get to visit the children's book department, I didn't check for new books there, the fantasy one was a very brief visit, we didn't came to the vintage book museum, the cook book isle was just mere 20 minutes and wow q_q how can 4 days pass so darn fast?! I already miss it.

Here is my Convention haul, mostly DGM, I am surprised! Also the sadness my new bowls are... I am aiming to fix the bigger one later on with a gold repair kit.

The new figurines moved into the cabinet the day after.

AND I HANGED THE PANTS TO THE COAT. Same for the bag. And put the jar of Tim into my make up bag as I don't want to forget the half of a costume again OTL

I really enjoyed the convention, I missed attending them. I'm glad the break is over now and I will hopefully see my friends more often again.

The next event I will attend will be a concert though. Then the Burgfest will follow, another concert and mid May a new Convention is on the list. A smaller one.

There is overall 1500 photos (incl photo snaps) I have to get through, i sorted out a bunch while I looked up photos to feature in the blog entries as this was my priority. I hope to narrow them down, edit and put them into the queue later this week. And then to put them into a photobook before I jump at working on the next project.

Time for more salt and violence :DDDD

7. Which character did you begin to hate not because of canon but how the fandom acts about them?

15. That one thing you see in fanart all the time

19. You're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like...

7. Which character did you begin to hate not because of canon but how the fandom acts about them?

I find myself VERY RESISTANT to this kind of shit so when the universe makes me feel like I want to hate a character I kind of go the opposite direction and love them harder than any of their fans.

For example I see so many infuriating takes with Catra and Hordak but I REFUSE to hate them. I insist on loving them more for all of their flaws, to be the one who loves them most for their character. I fucking adore those characters.

Maybe my opinion would be different if I was saturated by fandom like all the realtime watchers were? Like I'd be worn down.

I'm trying to think of other characters this DOES apply to.

For a show I'm genuinely obsessed with - The closest might be Lemongrab in AT fandom, he was super woobiefied by some people and some of those people were not particularly good to me or to the AT crew (talking events that happened over 10 years ago). I will be real it's nothing on the scale of what happened in shera fandom, and I still love Lemongrab as a character, but I avoid making anything with him in it because I don't want his fans to speak to me. Hoping the situation is different now.

There's also Simon Laurent from Infinity Train. I never particularly LIKED Simon, I find him interesting, but FUCKING HELL. TAKE ALL OF THE ABOVE CHARACTERS AND MULTIPLY IT BY 100. I was still getting messages from the "Simon Anon" A FEW WEEKS AGO SAYING THAT I NEED TO BOYCOTT INFINITY TRAIN because the creators said some stupid ableist about Simon, which they did, BUT IT'S NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY LEAVE ME ALONE. Anyone who is a Simon stan is usually completely terrifying, and is occasionally racist or sexist depending on their stance on Grace while defending their precious white boy. Once I entered a server and someone IMMEDIATELY asked me what my thoughts on Simon were, they were completely ready to start a fight with me over it and I've never felt more terrified in my life.

I also got sick and tired of Hunter quickly for pretty much the same reasons as Simon, though he's not written to be an evil incel like Simon, he REALLY IS the woobie boy that everyone considers him to be adn that's why I don't like him. I appreciate his character arc but ehhhhhh I couldn't stand him until the end of season 2 and during season 3 where it finally got past the "im going to be MURDERED by BELOS if i dont do EVERYTHING IMMEDIATELY" phase. The reason Catra never falls into this category for me is because she had supervillain energy and tried so so hard to regain agency and she kicked Hordak's ass and opened the Portal. Hunter meanwhile takes every hit, and I just... it is painful to watch, especially having been in situations of fear and psychological abuse. I don't enjoy it and I don't enjoy the fandom's TERRIFYING OBSESSION with him.

Zuko is almost a character I don't like. There is no anti-fandom for Zuko so I have no reason to stubbornly love him. People always compare every redemption arc to Zuko and I am fucking sick of it.

15. That one thing you see in fanart all the time

If it's a group it's ALWAYS Best Friend Squad 4 man, which makes sense I guess since theyre The Main Group but like... Q_Q i just want to include Entrapta and Scorpia and make it a BFS/SPT combo. Is that self indulgent of me? Especially when it's S5 fanart, I want more Entrapta because she was basically with them the entire time! Aaaaaaaaaa!!!!! I have a lot of thoughts on "4 man BFS" as an entity and why it works as an answer to s1, and why it doesn't work so well in s5, and why I am sad there was no s5 closure to sPT even if that is a dead sPT i just wanted one more scene--

wait that's not really what this question is about, we are crossing into canon wishlist but also fanfic modern AU territory and ALLLLL of my annoyances with how Adora and Catra's friend groups are treated in those. Like how Bow, Glimmer, Scorpia, and Entrapta are supposed to be their BEST FRIENDS but all become irrelevant and straight up absent once Catradora are together. Uhhh...

Okay more about Entrapta, a pet peeve is when people give her Normal Hair. Like, not absolutely insanely long rapunzel hair. Just normal hair. IT'S NOT RIGHT--- i guess people find it hard to draw her hair if they're going for a more realistic style?

I actually like most She-ra art I see though. It's very rare I see something that annoys me. There's not enough fanart posted in this fandom recently for me to have seen something that grinds my gears. All the catradora art is fucking gorgeous. I don't look at nsfw so I have absolutely no thoughts about any weird tropes like I would for other fandoms like AT where the fandom was a lot straighter and drew more demeaning stuff including the girls.

19. You're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like...

I can hear Kan yelling at me to post Entrapdak under this heading. Fuck you, Entrapdak is great!

I don't have any really wild out there crackships, I don't have any "problematic pairings", but I usually get self conscious and cautious when I post Catrapta, or any Entrapta x a member of BFS stuff, LMAO. Even the normal fluffy stuff but especially the sex headcanon post yesterday with Catrapta. The issue is a lot of the time people are like "she's way older than the others???" and either I have to say "actually, that was a post by a character designer with no evidence in the show--" and I look like an idiot trying to justify something wrong, or I just say "theyre both somewhere in their 20s" and get it over with.

But I ship all of the princesses with each other, I especially think Entrapta x Everyone is fucking hilarious, just go off girl. I'm not ashamed of that per se, it's just some people in this fandom have a stick up their ass with anything that isn't a Certified Canon Pairing.

Now if you want something I do enjoy and am mildly disturbed by that, it's Seadak. Sea Hawk x Hordak. And also x Micah. Just pair the dads together. They have never interacted but isn't it fucking brilliant????

[fareehaandspaniards]

Damian/Mico for the ship ask ?

Here are questions

i SHIP it (although it is not my current hyperfixation! xd)

The moment I realised how deep, sweet and caring might be Damian's personality. Micolash would be happy with someone who loves him just for his existing, who can accept any Micolash's behaviour, who will cherish him and adore. And a man like Damian would'nt ask anything back from Mico. I just like to think - what would made a character feel Happyness in love? And with Micolash - it is Damian in my opinion, who can give him everything he wants. He mentally can be his father, daddy (yeah lol), brother, colleague, friend, lover - literally ANYONE. (The only thing is that we don't talk now about Damian's happiness right now. But I think he is a type of person who will live with his beloved's feelings and emotions, but sometimes having mental breakdowns, but still his beloved one - is on a first place for him)

HUGE amount of tenderness, from both sides! Two old men being in love is nice. And the drama. Damian could kill (and killed many times) for Micolash, but still there was a reason for him to leave the School of Mensis and fight on other side. I often imagine their break-up (especially from my ff. Sending beams of love to you, Fantomette!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3). Damian's moral dilemma, Micolash's not-a-death-but-dream, seeing your beloved as a chilling mummy in a chair without being able to do anything - everything gives so much food for thinking!!! Also both are hella passionate.

Damian is not a "victim" in that ship! And not a "dog" who follow Micolash just because he doesn't know what else to do :/ Grararaaaaaagh, I know that everyone has their own opinion and just ignore those I dislike, BUT AAAAAAARGH I can't even tell what exactly I dislike in most fandom's headcanons about Damian? I mean I also like to joke that he is a simp, but some people have no respect for him. And I know that not all like him, it's okay... Just being overly sensitive sorry xD Damian Q_Q

[pellelavellan]

GET TO KNOW THE MUN.

respond to the prompts out of character!

what made you pick up the current muse(s) you have? Pelle and Dorian both are absolutely comfort characters for me. I was playing DA:I during a pretty bad time in my life (when I came outta the closet) and I really resonated with Dorian at the time what with having strict parents and feeling very alone and unaccepted. Pelle was originally me fooling around putting an OC i had into DA and he became entirely his own character over the years and now he's here for the long haul.

is there anything you don’t like to write? Not really tbh. I do think I'm pretty shit at describing environments so maybe I dont like writing it but it isn't a strong hate thing.

is there anything you really enjoy writing? Romance. Listen it tickles my brain just right. Even if it's like gut wrenching unrequited love or a bad relationship I still love it.

how do you come up with headcanons?  The worms visit me unexpectedly at all times to whisper in my ears.

do you write in silence or do you play music? Music but it cant have words or I have a hard time focusing.

do you plan your replies or wing them? I think about what I want to say but I just let the words flow in the moment.

do you enjoy shipping? YES! YES YES YES

what’s your alias/name?  Mia or Mimi

age?  I'm 27

birthday?  July 11 aka 7 Eleven Day !

STUD STUD STUD STUD STUD. One of the Best Boys is One of the best boys FOR A REASON, and I am LOVING THIS. Even the ones that make me feel bad. Kim's: You know my views, but *total thumbs up* Kat's: Samesies~ Jason: I have no qualms or quibbles over these and this. Jason and Bulk look fetching together and the idea of them having two girls that are similar yet opposite gives me good feelings. Not too popular but responsible girl strikes me as a total (Bulk) Daddy's girl. Popular girl who will happily fight monsters when nobody is looking is VERY much Jason's Daddy's Girl. Nobody would be that surprised either, this is very true. Nature science was a surprise, but...Bulk has friends, it fits. Tommy: OH HELL YES. I was wondering when you would revisit this little rare pair, just glad it was on a frontier that I aspire to imagine. The pun in Trinity's name is totally Bulk's doing; I don't make the rules. Becket feels like someone Tommy needs and Leon needs? Like, this family needs a straight man, but THESE TWO especially apparently. (I am just going to assume Tommy actually picked Bulk up when he was back from off-planet because HIIIIII ADORABLE THOUGHT!) Skull: KINGS. Best lines~ He could fit boyfriend in one arm and baby in the other and he often did in the early days when sleeping with the two. For comfort and sense of protection. I am also VERY much voting for Amy to be a Roadie/Mechanic. This just feels...very suitable. Trini: I was kind of wondering which of these babs would have self-image problems, but this did not make it into my assumptions. Glad all of her family are like 'STOP', but this feels startling new from someone from Trini's set? I like it. Aisha: *observes the size and personality and Color differences* ...well if Red/Green, Blue/Orange can make it work? I don't see why not. Even if they just end up as amicable exes, I do like the image at least. Also the extremely stressed out baby boy who inherited Purple--please, Green boyfriend, be good to him Q_Q Sharkie: I see that respect for strong women runs at a high point in this family, so OF COURSE Leech would crush on Lauren Shiba. Thankfully, I can see this working out for someone who bit GOLDAR. I am also very much for the whole co-parenting Punks/teen parents thing. This is, like, one of the few character sets that seem like they would be HEALTHIER for this? Zack: YES, KINGS!!! Zack would have made so much better for Bulk at homecoming if only he'd KNOWN. ;_; I can totally see their eldest daughter taking all the best, most assertive parts of her dads and just setting up shop to be The Special when she'd old enough. That Justice was given a caps for a reason and I am fully behind a Silver Girl who could kick the shit out of anyone/befriend the devil themself. The boy just being a sweet summer child is just SOFT and I LOVE HIM. Hailey: .....yeah, this tracks. They're both too...MUCH...for each other to have a good relationship while raising a kid. This poor child, maybe he'd get picked up as a Ranger ASSIST. and become happy with people cuddling him out of his misery. Marleau: I...I am going to assume that Bulk is the one that does ALL of the parenting and Marleau just throws money at him when he mentions how unhappy their (his) kids are? Peregrine, Pansy, sweeties, TELL HIM HOW YOU FEEL--HE WILL DO WHAT YOU ASK. Rito: AAAAAAAAAND now I have THOUGHTS. Now I am thinking of the comics and Rito's human form if the Z Wave was kind to him; how UTTERLY blonde this little girl is gonna be. HOW MUCH GAME BULK HAS WITHOUT TRYING. Braid his hair, baby girl, BRAID! Yeah, Rita loves this, omg.

Farkas Bulkmeier, oc kids and canon kids. Bulk’s fun because canonically as far as we know, he’s single. BUT. He has a lot of options~ like, so many. Male and female. I am not against this man being charismatic af but wow lol. He and Eugene both have so many options simply by virtue of being on the show for so long. If I miss any lemme know!

Canon;

None that we know of, though he was absolutely co parenting Spike Skullovitch. Spike might call him uncle Bulk but I think we all know he’s basically Spike’s other dad.

My Alternate OC Kids;

Kimberly Hart;

Chloe Bulkmeier-Hart, aged 19, pink ranger. Au that will be animated, Kim and Farkas waited to have kids and actually Chloe was a bit of a surprise baby. Best friends with Tommy and Kat’s oldest grandson. Was a good ranger, became brainwashed and is a villainous ranger. Her love interest is a vampire named Iva Song. She is pastel goth with a deep love of frills and spikes, deep pinks and velvety blacks and poofy skirts and dresses and combat boots. She's got an inordinate amount of knowledge on ancient battle tactics, and how to hotwire a motorcycle. Both things she learned from her parents. She has a lovely singing voice. She is five foot four, and is a bottle rocket of doom. While she's had a crush on Iva since they were tiny, she never knew he seriously reciprocated until much much later. She's able to shake the mind control when she's-gasp-forced to go undercover as a punk. Trading her dresses for miniskirts? Respectfully, no.

Tangential Coinless au, bur she’s a newborn and Billy and Drakkon’s clones Bit and Tom become her babysitters. Her godmother is Sharkie and her godfather is Eugene Skullovitch.

Katherine Hillard;

Lois “Heavy” Bulkmeier. Aged 21. Kat got with him after being saved by Tommy and Kim, bur the relationship with Kim or Tommy never went anywhere. Tommy and Kim got back together, Kat was happy being single for the most part. Lois though was an accident baby; however Kat and Bulk make it work and do like the relationship and their kid. Heavy for his part is a lot like Bulk. Rabblerousing loudmouth with a heart of gold. Heavy got his GED and currently is working on going through community college so he can buy Ernie’s old place and take it over. It was a refuge for him as a kid and he wants to keep it going for all the kids who need a refuge, from whatever’s going on. Not associated with a color. He does, however, know who the rangers are, and helps where he can. Kat’s an Olympic diver, and Bulk is the owner of a very popular chain restaurant. Bulk’s Eats.

Jason Lee Scott;

When Jason came home to take care of his dad after his mom died, Bulk was there almost before Jason's friends were. He had Eugene in tow and they more or less gently bullied their way into getting him to accept help. When his dad finally died, miserable as ever, Bulk pulled Jason over to his place and they played video games and ate until they passed out in Bulk's bed. They have a mild competitive nature to their romance, and the little love affair surprised absolute nobody who took two seconds to think about it. They adopted two girls. Jason's a PE teacher at the highschool, while Bulk is the history teacher. Orla and McKenzie, aged fifteen and sixteen respectively, were adopted a couple years apart when they were in gradeschool.

Orla was originally from Stone Canyon, and Aisha knew her mom. They went to highschool together before she moved to Angel Grove, but they kept in touch. She couldn't keep her daughter, so Aisha helped her screen prospective parents. Jason and Bulk fit, and the paperwork was taken care of. Orla still talks to her mom on weekends when she can, but she loves her dads. Orla is into cross country running and shock put. She loves adventuring and hiking, and is constantly pulling her family out for hiking trips on weekends, as well as camping. Not the most popular girl in school, but she's okay with that. Currently getting into the idea of going into some form of nature study science as a profession. Not associated with a color.

McKenzie is one of the popular girls, though she's also into sports. Hers is soccer. She's also not afraid of standing up for her friends and sister, and her drop kick can shatter tables. Bulk and Jason made her promise not to get in fights in school, as it not only looks bad on her, it could cost them their jobs. So she's careful who she fights. Monsters who the power rangers can't handle are useful, here. At least one of them offered to hire her. Jason and Bulk were. Not Amused. She's considering acting as a career, just so she can do her own stunts. Everyone likes her because she doesn't let people walk over her, but she's managed to be nice about it. Likes history as much as Bulk does.

Tommy Oliver;

Bulk had been mildly afraid of Tommy since day of the dumpster but after the first couple weeks, he mellowed out. A LOT. Unfortunately Tommy's walking eye candy and that entailed a lot of attention by a lot of pretty people. Bulk found it easier to simply antagonize him rather than directly compete with everyone else. They've had a fun flirtatious back and forth for years. Things got a lot more of a lot more when Bulk came back from Mirinoi, and Tommy of all people got him in a hug so tight he thought he was going to actually get a broken back. They reconnected and opened a small hotel together. It's nothing spectacular but it's consistently filled with people, some of whom even choose their hotel again for future vacations. A couple years after the 'this is going to flop' fear subsided, business partners became married partners. Tommy and Bulk chose to go the adoption and surrogate route. Adoption because Tommy wanted to give a good life to someone who needed it, much like he'd been given, and surrogate because a friend asked during New Years when they were gently shooing them out of the hotel a little after midnight so they could sleep and their kid could sleep. The question had stuck around, which lead to an awkward conversation, which lead to asking around if anyone was willing. The surrogacy via Trini lead to twins, much to everyone's surprise. David thought this was hilarious. Tommy apologized profusely to Trini, who had to remind him he didn't control that. And she was willing to help them prepare for twins if they were.

They have three kids. Beckett, adopted at nine and currently 21 and working at the hotel to save up for college, and the twins. Trinity and Leon, born when Beckett was twelve. Rambunctious, and taking after Tommy a lot. There is no brain cell between them. The hotel is their personal playground when they have to spend time at home, much to the chagrin of Tommy and Bulk, though they have managed to make this work in their favor, and many of the twins' games also double as their chores.

Beckett's the straight man type. He's very up front, responsible, and charming when he wants to be. He can switch from business to leisure at the drop of a dime, is good with money, and knows Angel Grove like the back of his hand. He is practically a walking tour, and has debated whether or not it'd be worth setting up a tour guide side business to help the hotel, and his wallet. Bulk respects the hustle. Tommy just wants him to be careful. Beckett's going into business management. He doesn't necessarily want to take over; it'd be fun to open up a rival place for a while just to see how he does. He's also prepared for any and every eventuality. Living with this family, he's got to be. Not that he minds, he used to wander Boston streets all day and go to the boy's home at night. Tommy ran into him on the street wandering back, and it was basically an immediate whirlwind of Beckett becoming Beckett Oliver and going to live with Bulk and Tommy.

Trinity is the older of the twins by four hours. She's also the go getter and more of the risk taker. She is dragging Leon along after for better or for worse, because no he's not going to let his sister do something dumb alone. That's lonely! They've had run ins with a lot of supernatural things, but that's par for the course so half of them Tommy and Bulk don't know about. Trinity is more likely to fight something twice her size. Also more likely to jump from the second story railing to see if she can fly (she nearly gave Bulk a heart attack and he caught her before she could begin her downward trend. Luckily he knew her by that point). Not currently a color but she's Tommy's. She's going to be a green ranger when she's older. Tommy and Bulk have the twins in judo classes.

Leon's the more careful of the two but that's not saying much. Still the one that decided to experiment with dishsoap in the laundromat. He was grounded for a month. He's also more of the curious one, in the book sense. If he doesn't know, he asks. It's less of a headache. More of a direct talker than his sister, very polite. Is not adverse to using his sister or brother as a distraction. Enjoys parkour, even at nine. He likes detective stories. Enjoys birdwatching. This isn't a calming activity for him; he walked onto a cliff to see if a bird was an eagle. It was. He nearly got very very hurt. Tommy, fortunately, knows him. general rule with the twins is if Beckett Tommy or Bulk is with them it's for everyone else's protection; not their own. Leon is not associated with a color, but he's Tommy's. He'll be a white ranger when he's older.

Although many adversaries did have their eyes on these kids for a time-absolutely not, it's too much trouble. Tommy and Bulk are at least a little self aware and their kids are fully prepared to turn the hotel into a massive booby trap. There's a protocol and everything.

in a tangential au, Beckett is a ranger and passes the Power to either Leon or Trinity as his chosen replacement, so depending he's either white or green.

Eugene Skullovitch;

Absolutely nobody was surprised when they got together. Eugene became a teen dad and Bulk didn't even think twice. He could fit boyfriend in one arm and baby in the other and he often did in the early days when sleeping with the two. For comfort and sense of protection. Skull was his best friend, and everything he'd ever want in a partner. They didn't bother with a ceremonial wedding, it was just going to get the paperwork signed and then having a big party celebrating with their friends. They have Spike, of course, and adopted one more. Between Spike and Amy, they're good. Sharkie offered to be a surrogate, and Billy offered a way to mix their genetics, but after a long talk with each other and them, it was just Spike and Amy.

Amy and Spike are the same age, with a four month difference. Spike's more emotionally mature than his sister, but Amy's more cunning and less naive than Spike. Currently both eighteen. She's jaded in a lot of ways and makes sure her brother doesn't have to be. Spike has had to ask her not to threaten any partners he might get with, because he can handle himself. She's had to occassionaly ask this goes both ways. Amy is considering being a mechanic, or a roadie for Skull or Spike. She likes feeling useful, she likes puzzles and chess and general challenges. Cannot cook to save her life, but she's a whiz at baking. She's better at math than anyone else in her family. But english is the bane of her existence. Is not associated with a color.

Trini Kwan;

in one au she's a surrogate mom for Bulk and Tommy, but in another, Bulk and Trini got together after Minh's dad left the picture. Bulk had experience with helping a single parent, and Trini was extremely grateful. Minh loved him, and loved when Spike came over. Bulk and Trini had one more kid together when Minh was around six. Rue Kwan. currently aged 17. Minh is going into law, and Rue is considering being a private detective. Or a rocket scientist. Both would be equally fun challenges. Rue's a quick thinker, and rather politely sassy. She's got a dry sense of humor but her comebacks are scathing and legendary. Rue's on the heavier side, and this leads to some self image issues sometimes, especially around valentine's or dances, though Bulk and Trini and Minh are quick to nip this in the bud as quickly as possible whenever it crops up. Rue knows her own mind, and her own opinions. She's been sent to the principle's office for getting into arguments with her teachers more than once. not associated with a color.

Aisha Campbell;

Nobody saw this coming. However, he invited her to a dance, and she didn’t say no. Then they just saw each other as friends for a few years. New Year’s party and nine months later….well. Actually they work well together, who knew? Bulk can make Aisha laugh, and she helps him set more realistic goals. And they kick ass together. Recently divorced but not on bad terms. Hobart “Hobie” Bulkmeier, though…is struggling. New purple ranger, parents recently divorced, trying to keep grades up and a steady job on top of it? This is. A Lot. He’s a ballet instructor for a babies first ballet type class. Does not put up with bullshit for anything. Not afraid to call people out. He’s dating the green ranger and that’s fine, his parents like his boyfriend. It’s just everything on top of everything on top of everything. Has a bit of an anger issue but he is stressed out. Doesn’t really know how to talk about it, either. He’s usually a very upbeat, positive, and easy going kid. But everything has happened within six months of each other and if he doesn’t get a day off he’s going to blow. His parents are trying but they don’t know how to help if he doesn’t talk to them. He needs a weekend with his boyfriend and no life or death situations for five minutes if you so please.

Sharkie;

The world went to hell and Bulk and Sharkie made the best of it. Sharkie always did love Bulk, had since they were kids. Bulk, well if he didn’t love her it was close enough to love to not make a difference. Like Skull they’re teen parents. All three of them banded together, hunkered down, and co parented because none of their actual family members were going to help with this. Leech’s actual name is Sabrina. Nobody calls her Sabrina. She had a reputation for biting as a kid, but this saved her from being carried off by Goldar, who became too preoccupied trying to get toddler off his hand and just flew off to get his wound treated (and later called the small one a worthy warrior who’d be a great adversary and possible apprentice when she was older). Most people assume Leech, currently 16 and dealing with the “totally not” cult kids branching out of that creepy house and her honorary cousin, got the nickname for a variety of other reasons. Not an alien warrior affectionately naming her it after confronting her parents after the incident. And it just sticking because objectively it was funny. Leech thinks Lauren Shiba is a total babe but if you tell Lauren no she doesn’t.

Unfortunately “be as abrasive as possible” is the agreed way for flirting to go, in this family, so Lauren has the distinct impression this scary mall goth karate instructor absolutely hates her. They’ll figure it out. Leech, when she’s not mooning after Lauren, or helping her parents run the dojo, or goofing around with Spike, she’s playing video games at the arcade at the mall. She has the high scores on every game there. She’s going to get the tickets for a life sized plush gorilla in a Groucho Marx glasses. She thinks it’s hilarious and wants to modify this into a lounge chair for her room. Loves ironic humor. She looks a lot like her mom, but she’s as strong as her dad. This leads to a lot of funny situations.

Spike and Leech act more like siblings than best friends and in their eyes, they are.

Zack Taylor;

Zack realized he was crushing on Bulk when Bulk explained his plan to be homecoming king. Zack loved his tenacity and how genuinely excited Bulk actually was over this. Overhearing Marleau’s threat and Bulk backing down, Zack backed him, and got the rest of the rangers and their dates to back him, because Marleau might think she rules the school but she really didn’t.

He completely fell in love with him seeing him crowned homecoming king. However nothing happened in school, and they fell out of touch for several years. Later, they met again when Zack went to a bar with friends, and found the bartender and owner was a familiar face. Farkas was happy to see him, and Zack was extremely happy to see him. He stayed over that night, and then never left. They work well together and have two kids via genetic splicing courtesy of Billy and Aquitar technology. Brianna, aged thirteen, and Devin, aged ten.

Brianna goes to dance classes twice a week, is as friendly and strong in her sense of Justice as her dad Zack was when he was a teenager. He is so proud of her. Her sense of Justice is perhaps a little too strong, and Zack is watching his thirteen year old like a hawk. Power rangering is fine, but he is not letting his baby girl do it before she’s sixteen. Out of personal experience. She often has a group of kids around her, as a sort of social butterfly nexus; and their house is apparently the “safe house”. Polite, energetic, friendly, everyone’s her friend and she’s everyone else’s friend. Bulk and Zack have had to tell her more than once she needs to know her limits. Not associated with a color; but she’ll be silver the second she’s old enough.

Devin wants to go to Mirinoi when he’s grown up and explore everything there. He likes being everywhere, and doing things with his dads. Happy learning how to bake and cook, is fascinated by sewing and Bulk’s hand sewn jackets. Interested in his sister’s dance recital outfits and often borrows them to study. Bulk’s happy to help him in all his interests. Not associated with a color, but he’d be pink if old enough and chosen.

Hailey;

Prom dance was nice, Bulk was nice, even if he didn’t become prom king, and Bulk was capable and seemed to like listening to her. Next thing they knew though, she was pregnant and he was doing his best by her. Axel Bulkmeier is sixteen and kind of wishes his parents would get divorced and not stay together. Everyone would be happier that way. He especially would be happier that way. Often wanders around town, anything’s better than going home. At this point if one of the villains asked him if he wanted to join, he probably would, it’d at least be better than watching two people who could only barely stand each other and him go about their lives. Axel’s a drummer in a band, kind of moody, and more of a dreamer than anything. Would love to be a famous poet one day, or get off earth and never look back.

Marleau;

Hate fucks can still lead to kids, sadly, and this one did. He married her out of extreme pressure from her parents and neither of them can get out of it because her mom decided they look good together and they don’t want to screw up their kids do they? Peregrine and Pansy really really wish they’d get divorced because they could not possibly screw the two up more than they already have. Pansy’s not even sure if Bulk’s her biological father. He raises her like his own, and so that side of it doesn’t matter, she knows he’d treat her like his whoever the dad was, because he’s the one stepping up.

Peregrine is 27, working at a firm his grandfather set him up at, looking at the rest of his life with a lot of exhaustion and trepidation. He doesn’t want to be here, he doesn’t want to keep up a facade. He’d much rather be in the library as a librarian, and reading all the historical fiction he can get his hands on. His grandparents want him to settle down; he would rather chew off his own arm. Not associated with a color

Pansy is 21, and strongly debating if asking someone to pose as a girlfriend for the holidays is worth the drama it’s going to cause. Not that she doesn’t like girls, but she just broke off an engagement; does she want to put that person through all that? The answer is no. Not associated with a color.

Rito Revulto;

Bulk and Skull do not take advantage of him or Goldar when they have amnesia, exactly. Bulk at first offers a sort of ransom to Vile for his son because Rito’s got to be worth something right? Vile basically laughs in Bulk and Skull’s face and tries to kill all of them. Rito protects Bulk and Skull with Goldar, and the four hide out. Rito’s memory coming along in drips and drabs but colored by the experience, well. He throws his lot in with the humans. Hell, he would have done what Bulk and Skull did too so he’s not even that mad about the ransom. He gets closer to Bulk, impressed by his tenacity. Bulk jokingly tells him “hey come back in ten years if you still feel the same way and I’m single.”

Rito takes him seriously. At that point a then 30 year old Bulk, impressed and flattered, couldn’t really think of a good excuse for why this shouldn’t happen. They have one daughter via magic. Faline, aged eight. She’s a force of nature, as much so as her dads. Spike loves her, and often has the little mystic girl on his shoulders as they go all over town or follow her dads around. Everyone else side eyes Rito massively, but he’s much calmer now. He’s quite content just taking things day by day with his little family. Out of necessity, they moved to Briarwood after the mystic rangers happened. Just so Faline could be close to her aunt, and a community who could mentor her when and if she felt ready to learn magic. Fairly typical for a little girl, she likes adventure, make believe, and playing with her friends. She’s fairly bossy, and knows how to haggle. She loves braiding Bulk’s hair.

While Rita doesn’t get it, she’s happy her brother is happy. Plus, this niece of hers gets to be just a child, they’re both making sure of that. She grows up safe, she grows up loved. Faline’s second favorite place to be aside from Bulk and Rito’s house in Briarwood is the mystic mother throne room, where Rita tells her (age appropriate) stories. The mystic rangers adore the kid too, and she’s an unofficial mascot of the record store.

Aaaand if I’ve missed anyone lemme know and I’ll put them in! I think I have, but -shrugs- this dude has a lot. It’s wild.

No - ?

Okay, I dearly love Stan from the bottom of my heart.

The Dognapper

Summary: when you thought your dog got kidnapped (spoiler: doggo’s fine dw✌🏻💕)

Pairing: Baji Keisuke x Reader

Tags: fluff

WC: 1704

A/N: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY GORGEOUS AND CHAOTIC BB @sennsational WHOM I ADORE WITH ALL MY SOUL AND WHO’S PRESENCE ALWAYS LIGHTS UP MY DAY❤️💕💕literally wish I could give you the world bc you deserves it and even more!!!!! Ik hou van jou (is this even correct I’m so sorry if it’s not q_q) you mean so so much to me, and I’m forever grateful to have gotten to know you!! Now all I need to do is swim across the sea to get to you to shower you with my hugs and love 🏊‍♀️ 😂💕anyyywayy here’s a small fic as a small present for you!! I’m so sorry that this is kinda rushed!! Q_Q Special thanks to @justanawolf for giving me the idea of the ‘wing dog’ and @marism WHO HELPED ME WITH LITERALLY MOST, IF NOT ALL OF THE PLOT SHIEJEJD THANK YOU SO MUCH BB YOU SAVED ME!! Q_Q

To hide, or not to hide the body, that is the question.

Cold sweat started to form along your back as you gazed down at the body in question. You cursed internally. With his face planted firmly on the ground, you couldn't tell if he was even breathing.

You tried nudging him tentatively with your foot.

No response.

As wiki would have listed his current status: unknown.

And the culprit for his state was none other than you.

You shifted the bag nervously in your hand. While moments ago you had swung it at the back of his head with ease, now gravity seemed to have suddenly tightened its hold on it, pulling it down until your triceps was trembling.

You swept your gaze over your surroundings. Thankfully, the park was deserted. No eye witnesses for you to worry about. All that was left was to flee the crime scene as soon as possible before you leave behind any incriminating evidence.

“Come on, let’s go,” you muttered to your dog, but what it did next almost made you dislocate your jaw from shock. Instead of being happy to see your arrival and following you obediently, it let out a small whimper, then trudged to the young man, and sat down by his side.

Your dog, whom you had been searching frantically for the past few hours, was now cuddling up to his kidnapper? What was this? Stockholm syndrome? You called its name again, but to no avail. It only lowered its head and licked the man’s cheeks, before peering up at you dolefully, almost as if asking why you had attacked him.

Slowly, a sinking feeling formed at the pit of your stomach. Maybe you were too rash in your assumptions. You were pretty sure that if the man had tried to take your dog by force, it wouldn’t be acting so affectionately towards him.

For the past week, irritation from the horrendous weather to the new tenant above you who had spent the whole day crashing around in his room with his friends, had been brewing inside you like a storm. And when you saw a stranger walking to who-knows-where with your dog…

You had sprinted up towards them. And perhaps all that running made your brain deficient in oxygen, for the bag had flown out of your hand before you could realise what you were doing.

“He… did try to take you right?” You turned to your dog and asked desperately. The only reply you received was a mournful look.

Hesitantly, you walked up, and gingerly tilted the man’s face to the side. Through the locks of his dark hair, his long black eyelashes casted shadows on his cheekbones. There were rhythmic gusts of air coming from his nose. Relief washed through you. At least he was still alive.

“Hello?” You called out.

You might as well have been talking to yourself, for it was still lights out for Mr sleeping beauty.

Seeing your dog won’t leave until the man wakes up, you heaved a resigned sigh, and waited.

It wasn’t long before the man regained consciousness. His eyelids gave the first indication that he was waking up. They twitched, before blinking open. You shifted backwards slightly, hoping to appear as an innocent Samaritan who had come to help him.

The first few seconds he seemed dazed, and you almost thought that you had wiped clean his memories, which wouldn't be a bad thing for you. He rose unsteadily to his feet. His features scrunched up as his hand flew to the back of his head.

“What the fu-”

But before he could finish, your puppy was bounding up on him with joyous barks. The kind of barks that were normally reserved for you when you arrived home after a long day. The young man’s expression instantly softened, and he bent down and ruffled its head.

“Good boy,” he murmured. Then he turned towards you with a scowl. The bronze eyes that met yours were almost electrifying.

“Were you the one who hit me from behind?”

There goes the amnesia theory. “Ye-no?” But the admission was written all over your face, and you could see that he didn’t believe you. “Look, I saw you with my dog, so I thought that you were kidnapping him!”

Insulted, his brows drew tighter together as he hissed angrily, “Do I look like a dognapper to you?”

“…”

You were unsure of how to answer. Now that you've gotten a good look at his face, he had fine features, but there was something about him that screamed of a delinquent. But from the way he had treated your dog, you knew he couldn’t be a completely bad person.

He seemed to have taken your silence as a yes. Displeasure was written plainly all over his face as he said, “I would never stoop so low as to steal someone’s dog.”

“Well dognappers don’t exactly have that word tattooed on their face, do they? So how was I supposed to know that you weren’t one?” You crossed your arms and glowered back at him.

Both of you stayed that way, neither wanted to be the first to look away from the staring contest that had spontaneously occurred.

Surprisingly, he looked away first. “I found him wandering alone on the road.”

Alone on the road?! The very thought of your little dog wandering by itself on the road brought a shiver up your spine. “That’s impossible! I had him tied up at the entrance of the grocery store!”

A look of annoyance passed his face. “Must be those little fuckers going around untiying those leashes,” he muttered. “Look,” his eyes snapped back to yours, “I didn’t try to kidnap this little guy, okay? I thought someone had abandoned him, and was going to take him in.”

Almost as if understanding his words, your little dog wagged his tail, and rubbed its head against the man’s leg.

Seeing the sincerity, and detecting not a single sliver of lie in his words and eyes, all your initial hostility towards him turned to awkwardness.

“Oh, I um… I apologise.” It sounded lame even to you.

He nodded curtly. However, the movement made him grit his teeth at the pain radiating from the back of his head. He drew in a sharp breath. “Ah shit, what the hell did you hit me with?” He saw the way you shifted your bag behind your back. “What do you have in there?”

“My uh… phone?” You replied awkwardly, hoping he wouldn’t pry further, but...

“Your phone’s not gonna be that heavy,” he said pointedly.

“…And maybe my laptop. And my charger. And my books. And a water bottle.” Your voice gradually trailed off in volume with each additional item you listed.

He swore. “Do you carry your whole house with you everytime you go out?”

“No, I forgot the dining table and chairs,” you replied sarcastically. Then, seeing that you were in the wrong here, you tried to make your tone amiable, and said, “Look, as an apology, can I get you anything? How about boba?”

He regarded you with a stare that seemed to see through everything. “Are you sure that’s not what you want?” The corner of his lips pull up slightly, making him seem softer. You swallowed, wanting to thump your chest at your malfunctioning heart.

“Hey! Of course not! I mean, well, maybe yes. I’m sorry, this week has been kinda stressful to me, someone moved above me and been creating a ruckus, and I haven’t been getting enough rest.”

He let out a huff of laughter. “That makes two of us. One of my neighbours has been sending me passive aggressive notes saying I was too loud.”

You inwardly winced slightly. Because you did the same to your noisy neighbour. You cleared your throat, “Look, like I said, I really am sorry for mistaking you-”

He waved off the rest of your words. “It doesn’t matter, just keep an eye on the little guy.” He knelt down, and ruffled the dog’s head. “Make sure your owner doesn’t go around hitting random passersby again, yeah?” The dog whined, almost as if pleading him to stay.

But with nothing more to talk about, nor anything else that could make him stay, he nodded farewell, and with that both of you started to walk to your respective homes, and neither of you saw each other ever again.

“…”

“…”

Or so you thought.

“…say, are you a stalker instead of a dognapper?” Throwing a side-eyed glance, the man was walking next to you until you had reached your building complex.

“Who the fuck is a stalker now?! You are the one who’s following me!”

You almost rolled your eyes. Because you had enough time in your hands to follow a random dude home.

You pointed at the building. “I live here.”

He levelled his gaze at you, as if to see if you were joking. “…So do I.”

A slow sense of dread crept upon you. If you had never seen him around, and the only apartment that had a new tenant recently was the one above you…

“…You don’t have to answer, but which floor do you live on?”

“The very left apartment on the 5th floor.”

Seeing the blank horror on your face, no more clarification was needed.

“So you were the one who sent me that note,” he smirked, and you almost wanted to swing your bag at his head again. He held out his hand, and you took it automatically. His large hands were warm, and slotted perfectly against yours. “Baji Keisuke. Guess we’ll be seeing each other more often then. If you ever need any help with looking after this little guy, I’ll always be available.”

Your little dog started barking with joy once more, and circled around Baji excitedly. You were still frozen to the spot.

“Well, I’ll be heading up now.” With that, he spun around and headed towards the staircase. But before he reached the first step, he turned around, a smile playing on the edge of his lips.

“And on second thoughts I’ll be taking you up on your offer for bubble tea.”

dream has so much love for his friends, it makes my heart hurt

this man would spend hours on vc w his closest and most treasured friends to the point he would join their call IN BED just bc he didn't want to leave yet. dream would spend so much time just basking in the presence of george, for example, in complete silence because spending time with him is enough for him to be content. there are days him and sapnap stay in the kitchen, making food and messing around like the brothers they are :( and though, quality time is his love language, just knowing that he has so much fun with his friends that he willingly stays on call w them regardless of how tired he is or even when they're doing nothing makes me so incredibly fond.

i'm feeling parasocial so here's me admitting that i want to hold his hand and tell him how much of a great friend he is. dreamwastaken, Ur Everything to me <3

- thinking anon

just him silently sitting there because he enjoys their presence so much, i can imagine him smiling quietly while listening to his friends. how he dozes off to their voices because he's comfy and relaxed. it reminds me of whenever he is in merch discord with us for hours on end, even if he goes on for long periods of silence, he stays and talks to us about the most random of topics. so so endearing and he is very precious in the hundreds of ways he displays his love and affection q_q

[gaylonelydyke]

if it’s not too late, 12 for episodes and ships, and 17!

its never too late! thankyou for the ask 🥰 oo damn this is gonna be a hefty one, just to prepare you this is gonna be long 😅😅😅

spoiler alert for my friends who are finishing up season 2 rn, be careful if you look at my top five episodes, pay attention the the episode numbers, i will put [ ] in bold at the beginning and end of spoilers!

12. Top 5 ships

5. faith x myself because have you seen faith? shes such a babe! spare consensual kiss maam?

4. willow x oz, i dont know if this is an unpopular or not but i feel like if the 90s had been more accepting of term then willow wouldve been bisexual, but like even now tv shows will rarely let characters say that word :( but anyway i love them! theyre both quirky and kinda awkward but its such a sweet relationship and you really see how they go from awkward crushes to an actual deep relationship, oz is one of my favourite characters too what a dude!

3. giles x jenny, mlmxwlw solidarity in this bisexual couple! there is no an ounce of straight between them and i love it, i love their dynamic, i love that giles *respects women* (im staring daggers at xander rn), also the original girlboss x malewife couple askdjaksjhd

2. drusilla x spike, these two!!!!!! once again a bisexual couple with zero straight between them, the vibes are off the charts. sexy vampires, goth x punk love, i just love them man, and their relationship is so interesting to delve into. like theyre vampires, theyre soulless and yet they have a capacity for love, they care deeply for eachother, theyre so tender towards eachother in season 2 in the way they take turns to care for one another, also drusilla picking spike up with one hand made me gay and thats on that

1. willow x tara!!!!! lesbians man lesbians! they have a beautiful relationship, until a certain point wink wink, they feel like a perfect match, willows become more outgoing due to buffy and xander snd having a proper group of friends, so its cool to see her as the more outgoing independant one in the relationship, and tara is such a honey 🥺 the biggest sweetheart in the world what a babe!!!! also like how groundbreaking was their relationship? as a queer couple, they had p much the dame amount of screentime as a aueer relationship today! and willow says the word lesbian so many times and is always making gay jokes which is something shows today are too scared to do, its honestly refreshing which is weird for a show in the 90/00s

12. Top 5 episodes

this is so hard because its such a damn good show so i had to rlly be picky about this but here we go

5. 6x22 ‘grave’- i watched buffy for the first time last year at work coz i worked with one other person just packing shit, and THIS was the episode that made us cry infront of eachother. the scene with willow and xander at the end is one of my all time favourite scenes and like legit we were watching and we starting going like ha.. this is so sad Q_Q and we looked at eachother and we were both crying akdjdjsjdhs its SO GOOD, like this is a friendship ive been so invested in and [seeing xander be able to pull her back from that dark place was so heart wrenching and amazing god its so good]

4. 3x12 ‘helpless’ - im finishing up s2 in my rewatch rn so i havent rewatched this one to double check but i remember loving it man. buffys father daughter relationship with giles is my favourite of the whole show they make my heart ache, so i love that this is an episode that really shows you how dedicated giles is to her, [its the breaking point where he finally disregards the fact that hes a watcher and acts as her father once and for all, its a turning point for their relationship where he is finally embracing the fact that shes like a daughter to him and i just love to see it Q_Q get you a dad who will leave his lifes calling for you]

3. 4x22 ‘restless’ - season 4 is interesting coz it has really good episodes and them some gd awful ones 😂😂 but this one just blew me away, i love a good character study episode and this is THE SHIT! its so weird and creepy but in the most perfect way, its not on the nose its so subtle, it feels like an uncanny valley version of buffy almost, i like that they finished the season first and then took this episode to do something out of the box and different i feel like it lets them fully explore this idea without the pressure of needing plot included. [also the cheese man is iconic. dont however like xander being all nasty with willow and tara but whats new there man]

2. 1x12 ‘The Prophecy Girl’ - for my first watch of buffy i wasnt that into the first season, like i enjoyed it but i didnt think it was anything super special? but this episode changed EVERYTHING for me. up until now buffy had been fun, witty, charming, but not anything new atleast for me, maybe in the 90s it was but right now its your average teen supernatural show. but this episode!!!! the emotion! buffy facing her death, her speech about how shes just 16 and shes scared and she doesnt want to die, that is what i wanna see!! its heartbreaking and it made me cry, and then it gives us the wonderful moment of giles trying to take her place and buffy realising that she has to be the one to do it, man its so good! basically anything with buffy and giles being a duo is gonna make it an automatic yes from me and this is indeed the case for this episode, i just love that the show remembers that shes a child! shes not brave all the time, shes not strong all the time, shes just doing her best and sometimes its overwhelming, 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 i bow to this episode

1. 2x17 ‘passion’ - i know i just sang praises about prophecy girl but THIS EPISODE IS THE SHIT, the best episode full stop. i wont accept any argument. angel is probably my favourite big bad, its so funny to see plain bread, mopey brooding angel become this charismatic, funny, poetic, blood thirsty angelus, hes everything i want in a villain and in this episode he delivers! rip jenny tho love her. i think the tension built around angel is so good, because of his drawings and notes left around, every scene youre worrying like is he here now? are they safe or what? its so tense! and also it is me and im a slag for buffy x giles father daughter moments and this episode fucking delivers! giles discovering jennys dead body is probably one of the best scenes on the show, the dramatic irony is heAVY, we know jenny is dead, we know that these flowers arent from her, but giles is so so happy, and i want to see him happy but you just know somehing horrific is about to happen and damn does it. its a masterpiece! i love jenny and giles so much it is so sad, but also the fact that it gave us that scene makes me almmmoost ok with it? i also love the moment where giles breaks down in buffys arms, hes been there for her and now shes returning the favour and hes accepting it i just 😭😭😭 also on a different note, angels narration of this episode is amazing! it gives us great insight to who he is as “evil angel” and like even though hes awful i was also kind of rooting for him coz hes just such a great villain

sorry this is so long lmao, last question!

17. Which characer do you wish had less of a focus on them in the show?

i dont wanna get yelled at butttttt i dont like the amount of focus on dawn. i think it makes sense for the her first season considering the story arc but that season really does double down its focus onto dawn and buffy and it barely leaves room for anyone else to have a storyline, it keeps the episodes super depressing too its like a constant level of just sadness the whole time because we’re so stuck in THEIR arc, theres no room to balance it out and have a breather, some people might like that its more serious but i really really didnt like, i love episodes like prophecy girl where it is campy and brings the more emotional notes in when the time comes, but dawns whole arc is just constantly depressing the whole time i just hate it, and also just shes not a character i felt i could connect to because of how suddenly shes introduced, so its weird to have her SO focused on in the first half of that season coz we dont know her yet so i feel like the emotional moments dont land the way that they should? basically they shouldve eased us into dawn or introduced her differently and maybe i would like her enough to want the focus on her but i really just dont

adksjakjshd apologies for the essay this is, thanks for the ask!

can’t spell gaming without i am

My last “gaming status update” was 3+ years ago so I figured I’d make a new one. I’m more of a gamer than an artist nowadays.. *nervous laugh*

Wakfu | semi-active

I live and breathe Wakfu, my and Aketan’s OCs are still the sole reason for my existance, but the last time I played “seriously” was somewhere in 2015. Feels like last year. I login regularly but don’t play-play anymore, just keep an eye on the news, the market (my enutrof nature), level up some craft or walk around like a sad ghost :’D It’s strayed too far from the game I know and love.

Guild Wars 2 | active

Sideblog: @panic-in-tarir​ I made GW2 my new “home” in 2016, I still play daily, I’m proud of the personal skill progress but.. Things certainly aren’t looking as bright as they used to. I’m 100% emotionally invested in this game, certain directions it’s taken I just couldn’t accept (visual vomit, story decisions, non-openworld content droughts). Yet another wonderful franchise with enormous wasted potential. I’m a jaded, cranky old man that shits on the sequel, closes its client and starts..

Guild Wars 1 | active

Started AFTER the 2, being interested in the lore and skins you can get for GW2, stayed for the charm and oldschool fun you can have there. It’s my comfort game where I login to smell the flowers in presearing, farm some events, or get my ass beaten by a story boss ‘cause I’m still a scrub that learns too slowly :’> On the other hand, it feels soooo rewarding when you finally overcome yet another “skill wall”. They don’t make games like this anymore, truly. <3

Genshin Impact | active

Boy, here we go.. As of this moment, not even a month in. Convinced by a good friend. Last selling points were: pretty scenery, weather, day-night change and fun exploration. Checked, yep, all of that’s there. It has a strange, massive antistress effect on me. Usually I avoid the overhyped games by a good mile, but this one got me x’D The amount of times I thought “wish we had a Wakfu 3D like this” Q_Q Yeah, it’s an evil gacha at its core, buuutt so far it’s surprisingly fair and clean. I’m a convinced non-spender when it comes to this kind of games, f2p here is a-okay. Also it’s really well made from technical and mechanical perspective. So far I don’t care about the story/characters and just enjoy wandering around the world and fighting things.

Inactive or barely active games

Just quickly lumping these together as honorable mentions. Played Dofus to lvl 100, Tree of Savior to lvl 300+, still logging in for returning player’s freebies once or twice a year. Playing FFXIV free trial on and off. This’s my THIRD attempt to stick around, still no plans to buy or even socialize here, sorry Q_Q Also, not an mmo, but my only mobile game is Cytus II, a cool rhythm game that also has a story that eventually let me down :’D Not a fan of its story anymore but the music’s still bangin’.

[yaboyspodcastpalace]

For the character asks: Jon, Peter Lukas, Annabelle Cane? (giving multiple suggestions so you can pick one in case you get the same character twice in different asks)

very kind of you to assume i get many asks :') THANKS ill do all of them u_u

[Send me a character and i'll tell you...]

(under the cut bc i love talking and this got long lmao)

Jon

First impression

he's a uptight prick with obvious favoritism for sasha and tim and i love him so! much!!!!!!

Impression now

my poor little mew mew hm................I've got a complicated relationship w/ jon bc i love him a lot, but i loved s1 him the most, and literally everything else just makes me really, brutally, sad ;_; The way he tries so desperately to cling to his humanity and how other characters just call him by the title imposed to him makes me wanna cry

...also he just cares so much ;_; i cry

Favorite moment

probably his interactions with georgie at the beginning of season 3!!! From s5 id say when he killed not!sasha, it felt vindictive ù_ú

Idea for a story

Dhfhdh im p basic when it comes to him ngl, either jon/tim/sasha friends to lovers or jon and desolation!tim or *something*!sasha trying to stay as human as possible, together 😔 (or just any of them living and coping together in s4 n s5)

Unpopular opinion

Im just not a fan of monster jon, at all! He's not the type of character that i enjoy seeing having a corruption arc unfortunately!! It just hurts!!! (and this Is from someone that Loves corruption arcs!!!)

Also i really hate moth jon imagery??? For not particular reason, moths are pretty, but i still hate it u_u AND THE ASSOCIATION OF GREEN W/ JON (or the beholding in general!) I CANNOT STAND IT!! i know its bc of the tma logo but guess what! Its wrong! Purple jon rights!!!

ALSO ALSO the so called pining he had for martin just.... didnt felt like that at all! i have Many feelings abt this!

Favorite relationship

either georgie in s3, or sasha!!! i love how he always praises sasha in her research in s1 and even thought he's at his driest & sharp Trying-To-Project-Professionalism-And-Skepticism she still rolls into his office, interrupts him mid statement to banter w/ him abt pronunciation n stuff and its just Normal, like that speaks volumes of how comfortable they felt around each other! they were friends gdi! the moment he realizes she died and then everytime the not!them mocks him w/ her death makes me wanna break smth q_q

im not even gonna mention tim bc even though i love their relationship It 👏 makes me👏 very 👏 sad 👏

non shippy and also staying strictly canon, i love his relationship with melanie!

Favorite headcanon

sometimes i think abt that one hc that hes really good with arcade games bc he lived near the coast and i smile bc thats cute :) also hes a trans man 💙💗🤍💗💙

Peter

First impression

Mystery evil captain man!!! Fog?? I LOVE him :)

Impression now

I STILL LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! Hes an asshole and has a lovely voice and smile and hes not, hes not Dumb but also he's far from the whooooa evil lonely influence he think he is (played like a cheap fiddle). He also makes me sad in ways i cannot and wont describe, and its a shame that he died cuz he was the best part of season 4 😔 rip you beautiful bastard man i still miss you </3

Favorite moment

"It has blood on it" "thats Leitner's too :D". Also when martin was angry abt idk, breekon? Jon going into the coffin? Cant remember, but peter was like I said id protect the institute, that guys not my problem ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Idea for a story

dfgdfg i have..... a petermart story that dealt with the different flavor of loneliness they both had, half smut half genuine meta of both of them and theorization on the branching of an Entity & how their powers manifested in other people...

basically, peter thinks hes hot shit when it comes to loneliness but gets overwhelmed when martin accidentally projects his feelings abt *fic's plot stuff* on him, its fun stuff!

Unpopular opinion

people either paint him like an absolute devil or an incompetent idiot and hes neither of them! hes an asshole who loves being an asshole but far from the worst monster in the show and he tried to do a clever scheme TWICE on his life and 1. while it was established that any of the rituals wouldnt work singularly the Silence was still a pretty clever attempt if it weren't for gertrude! and 2. well... he tried to manipulate someone petty and formerly supposed to be a web avatar, again not his fault, cant call him stupid for trying dfgdfg

i Do think hes kinda pathetic in some sense considering his backstory, but more out of personal pity than anything else

Favorite relationship

Canonically speaking him and martin! The pull and push of them was The best thing about season 4! Peter being a quite dangerous avatar and martin, beautiful and scared and kinda feisty, confronting him every chance he gets, peter doing his best to manipulate him and martin letting him believe hes succeeding (even thought, he is, partly). They're fascinating characters to have side by side

Favorite headcanon

Partly canonically speaking him and mikaele salesa :) they do bets together! They're lonely sea men! What else could you possibly want?

Also non shippy i like thinking abt peter's and simon's relationship but thats entirely non canon ♡

Diversity wins! The heir of the lonely is a gay man!

Also I think as every rich household(?) the lukases had many paintings and peter as a kid saw the ones w/ sailing ships and imagined sailing far far away from his family. That and seaman aesthetic fucks, which is why he always has the same vibe going on as an adult. He does Not know half of the things he'd need to know to have a ship though but hey he's rich and thats all he needs

Annabelle

First impression

thats a horrible psychological experiment they're making there D:

Impression now

THATS STILL A HORRIBLE EXPERIMENT AND ANNABELLE DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER............. idk! she makes me sad in the same way jon (and to a degree, peter) does! to be a living puppet for the thing that traumatized you as a kid and that later kinda killed you / is the only thing keeping you alive, to be devoted to it scrambling to believe in a higher reason for all of it to happen bc to believe otherwise is............. anyway. i love her, and i feel so so sorry for her

Favorite moment

her "maybe ive never been to the beach" at the end of ehr statement (that i fully believe its bullshit but, yknow, i love that she adds that), most of her convos with martin, her "i told you this might happen" "you did, you did" with mikaele

Idea for a story

i think a lot about her having conversations w/ either mikaele (platonically) or sasha (shippy) and their different points of views and treat with her making her doubt the web a bit

Unpopular opinion

listen, listen, i know it sounds like im woobifying her i Know it but reading the scraps of her story how can i Not feel sorry for her? when the story framed her very similar to jon? the supernatural childhood encounter that gave them arachnophobia and the subsequential joining with an Entity against her will? the fact that both the story and the fans treat her like a spider woman always sat very very bad to me, and the fact that the story itself always framed her like a villain (considering All The Other Characters that get the benefit of the doubt) was extremely disappointing

Favorite relationship

her and mikaele!!!!!!! wish we could have seen more scenes of just the two of them!!!!!! *singing* he is her daaaaaad, hes her dad! boogie boogie boogie! (ok no but like... their offscreen friendship is my favorite thing of season 5 ;_;)

Favorite headcanon

Sigh i dont know...i still think she's scared of spiders which make her current existence harder but thats a sadcanon :/ umm...... i love the idea of mikaele and her cooking together from time to time! Mikaele showing her some plates he used to eat as a kid as he talks stories about his life :) and she listens and sometimes tells a story of her own! its been so long since he had a quasy normal conversation! its weird yet nice!
