#I love these kinds of asks

[its-been-rose]

Okay can we talk for a second how Henry almost became his own antithesis?

Like he tried to kill Murphy. Who has an infant kid. He literally almost did a Teddy Gallows and left a baby fatherless just like him.

Insane if you think about it

Oh Henry is the most tragic character by far lol, his entire existence is tragic. He became the monster Teddy tried to paint his father as- a dangerous, reckless delinquent, and he almost made Fernando fatherless just like him, like you said. I do not think the developers explicitly naming Murphy’s encounter as Henry was for no reason, I think it was for exactly the reason you pointed out. And it’s all because his mother convinced him from young that the only reason he was put on this planet was to end lives. Marie’s trauma was passed down to him and he couldn’t do anything about it. It just makes it even more clear that Henry is not doing this to avenge his father- if he was, he wouldn’t have tried to burn Murphy alive, because he would have to understand the importance of fathers to their sons. He is doing this purely to make his mother happy in the only way she has ever indicated he could.

[loulooser]

so as the only tøp liker i know on tumblr atm, i have to ask abt ur opinions on clancy :D

fav songs/least favorite songs? any theories on the clancy/trench lore (based on my theories they're 100% connected)?

Im honoured

Favourites

I think vignette is my favourite, but Midwest Indigo is soooo good and also the mv has Jim in it so that’s a win

My top five in no particular order:

Vignette

Routines in the night

Midwest Indigo

Navigating

At The Risk Of Feeling Dumb

I like how the music still has important messages, and also that the message along with the way they convey it has evolved with us. I’ve grown up with tøp and it’s nice to see that they’re so famous and doing well but at the core they’re still telling us to stay alive and push on through.

Less favoured

I’m going to keep this bit short because I don’t like shitting on their music

imo Clancy is a no skip album like the rest of them, but if I had to pick a least favourite it would be Oldies Station. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a really good song and I love the message but it’s kind of outshone by the rest of the record.

Clancy - Trench connection

There’s no doubt that they’re connected. (See what I did there. Doubt. I’m hilarious.) I think Clancy was definitely designed to kind of pick up where they left off pre-SAI, because the Banditos have finally gotten the opportunity to fight back again.

I also think that we should keep that lyric from Bandito in mind because they keep reminding us. I feel like it’s strange that they keep shoving one specific lyric back in our faces and not really doing anything with it. It could be that Tyler is reminding us that he could destroy it if he wants, and also that the story could take any turn from Paladin Strait.

As for some sort of secret connection between Clancy and Trench, I don’t think it’s very secret at all. Most of it is set in Trench, and also the repeated lyrics, the fact they brought Paul Meany back, the whole rebellion vibe is very Trench.

Theories

At the moment I don’t have any solid theories, but I’m keeping an eye out (or an ear out? I don’t know) for clues I missed while I’m listening. I’m also manifesting a double album and waiting for whatever happens during the tours, so there’s a lot left to unpack with Clancy. Nothing can be set in stone.

Do you have any thoughts on tunneling in WindClan?

it's an interesting concept with a really weak conflict!! which you know, could be said about the entirety of tallstar's revenge. There's no real rhyme or reason why some of the central conflicts happen. Why does Heatherstar wanna get rid of tunneling? Who knows! Why does ShadowClan keep randomly attacking?? Who knows! Why does Sandgorse retroactively get turned into a good guy at the end? Who k- no wait, it's because the writers suck.

I think the most fondness I have for the idea comes from, funnily enough, from the ideas that it's created from other people. I like the concept of tunneling as a representation of the cats overworking their environment, quite literally tearing it up from the inside for the sake of just having more. I also like it as its dissolution being something as a representation of how the Clans prioritize being battle ready over anything else. If it's not there to be an immediate boon during a battle, it's not worth it.

But in the text...there's not much to it? There's no real rhyme or reason. Heatherstar's reasoning is vague and unconvincing. I like the idea of a conflict in the Clan but it's done so poorly that you have to wonder why bother (which i could say about the entirety of tallstar's revenge but whatever).

anyways......very loose rewrite idea under the cut

Some loose ideas:

General notes: Sandgorse must be portrayed as bad in the end, why didn't this happen in the book. Why was he allowed to abuse his son for the entirety of a book then get retroactively treated like just a swell guy in the end. Palebird and Tallstar would have a goddamn conversation when he returns like holy fuck. Shrewclaw needs to apologize?? he straight up tells tallpaw to kill himself????? what is wrong with the books. Tallstar leaving Jake isn't treated as this sad but noble decision, it's a regret that stains Tallstar's mind for moons to come and impacts how he leads (he resents the Clan deep down even though it was his choice).

Move the issue away from it being tunneling and moreso the divide that it's causing. WindClan tunnelers have their own Medic who travels with them to give blessings and administer care, this Medic often comes into conflict with the Moor Runner's Medic and the two squabble on how to advise their leader.

At this time, Heatherstar is seeking to expand WindClan territory right to the strip by the mothermouth. This move makes her very unpopular with the other Clans, specifically ShadowClan. I think this conflict would strengthen WindClan's us vs. them ideals that Sandgorse tries to instill in Tallstar. Both Medics would see this as an opportunity to seize favor in the Clan by having their respect division help win the contested piece of land and (of course) this leads to more conflict.

The Moor Runners win of course and tunneling's very existence begins to come under question. Tallkit is a child during a very tense time with Sandgorse as such a vocal and aggressive supporter of tunneling resulting in him being isolated from his peers. The other queens try to help and support him with Palebird suffering from grief after losing Palebird.

The travellers aren't just a group of random cats who stay because the plot demands it. They should have some sort of attachment such as maybe having helped the Clan in the past or even being ex-WindClan cats who were sent out on some sort of pilgrimage. Either way, Sandgorse doesn't like them and Tallpaw takes after him in this regard.

Have Jake be part of the travellers or have him and Tallpaw meet earlier an establish a friendship. They travelled for like a week, they're barely friends.

Sandgorse and the Tunnellers Medic is killed in the crash resulting in a highly tense atmosphere where Tallpaw is pushed into taking on the role but decides to become a Moor Runner. The hostility from his former tunnellers and the lack of support from the moor runners is what also pushes him to leave (even though he tells himself he's going to get revenge for his father).

ty for the ask! sorry i veered off topic, i started thinking about tallstar ideas from yesterday and got ahead of myself.

[certainchopshopcheesecake]

If you had the chance to meet Obikin, what do you think would have happen?

I think I would just watch their relationship from the sidelines. I'd wanna see if my understanding of their relationship and characters had been in line with my interpretation. So in other words, I don't think anything would change at all because I don't want to change anything, the tragedy of their relationship is what draws me to the ship.

In less serious terms, I'd flaunt some serious end of the world /the other half of your soul is going to die if you don't comply with my demands kind of thing so that we could all witness Anakin getting the dicking down that he deserves

[arcane-vagabond]

Out of all of your Jakes (both the ones we know and love and the ones we didn't yet get the pleasure of knowing, but love anyways already), which one do you think is most likely to:

1) have supersperm

2) have a wedding night baby

3) have a honeymoon baby

4) have the biggest breeding kink (we all know all of them have it to some degree, lol, but who has it the most)

5) get their love pregnant after a vasectomy

6) have all the baby girls, being the ultimate girl dad

7) be the most submissive in bed?

(If I miscalculated and you have more than seven Jakes, I apologise most sincerely!)

No pressure to answer, only if you are in the mood! Thank you and most of all, thank you for writing so many amazing stories with this golden boy, you are an International Treasure™ and as a Jake girly, I can confidently say that we won because you are in the fandom and share your amazing talent!

Hey, Nonny!! First of all, you are very, VERY sweet and I love you.

So, as of right now, I DO have seven WIPs where we've met Jake, however three of them are the same Jake! So, that leaves us with five total that we've met so far! I'm excited for this question though, so let's dive in, shall we?

1.) Which Jake has supersperm?

Probably TTSCA!Jake AKA Spring Spirit!Jake. It's spring, the season of fertility and new beginnings. SS!Jake is not only virile, but he's got the strongest little swimmers out of all these guys, and he's definitely getting you pregnant on the first try, there's just no ifs, ands, or buts about it!

2.) Which Jake has a wedding night baby?

I have said this from the beginning, but DHTN!JAKE AND SCOUT HAVE A WEDDING NIGHT BABY FOR SURE!!!! It's honestly kind of surprising that Scout doesn't get pregnant sooner though, but she gets knocked up that first night, and when they do the math later, they figure it out and she's so fucking annoyed while Jake just sits there all smug like "I always get the job done on the first try, honey girl."

3.) Which Jake has a honeymoon baby?

I'm going to go with FF!Jake for this one. We talked it over in the groupchat, and he seems to fit the best in this category, but let's be real. He's getting Guppy pregnant BEFORE the wedding lmaooooo

4.) Which Jake has the biggest breeding kink?

I think this one probably goes without saying, but MMATS!Jake, especially during his frenzy lol. He can't WAIT to get you pregnant, dude. And if he had his way, you'd STAY pregnant. DHTN!Jake is also of the same mind, but probaly slightly less so tbh

5.) Which Jake gets you pregnant after a vasectomy?

I'm gonna have to go with SLM!Jake on this one, actually. Poor guy just has the most rotten luck. I mean, man walked in to his tent to find a fish in his bed, after all.

6.) Which Jake has all the baby girls and is the ultimate girl dad?

After discussing with @goldenseresinretriever, it was decided that this honor goes to SLM!Jake. As a botanist, he's all about plants and flowers. Imagine him out back in the garden with his little girls just planting and digging in the dirt, teaching them all about the different ways they grow. He'd be so gentle with them omggggg

7.) Which Jake is the most submissive in bed?

Surprisingly enough, I would say MMATS!Jake is the one that wins this category. I think he's more willing to lay back and let Skipper take charge and use him however she wants. Now, that's not to say that the others don't do this too, we've seen it with DHTN!Jake and FF!Jake in some drabbles and posts, but MMATS!Jake is the one that does it most often.

This was fun!! What do y'all think? Do you agree or disagree? Do you have more questions like this??

[insistonyourcupofstars]

justie your justified tags giving me LIFE thank you.

oh yay, I'm doing good in tags!!!!

[littjara-mirrorlake]

Amaranth: dhampir, death cleric

Zynvara: Simic hybrid, land (Underdark) druid

Gulistan: half-elf, transmutation wizard

Semblance of Fading Dream: siren, great old one warlock

And for the others who aren't actually played:

Navika: high elf, transmutation wizard

Takumi: moonfolk, armorer artificer (owlin or kalashtar if no homebrew)

Fjori: changeling, great old one warlock

Lyszitheja: fallen aasimar, spore druid

The Namestealer: changeling, lore bard

(Feel free to send more asks about any of these ocs also!!)

Got snowcones today. They had the flavors “silver fox” and “rock n roll”. I got a mix of those….Forrest Nash snowcone.

Gahahahahha I love that, that’s fantastic. He’s a rock n roll silver fox all right.

[little-pissbaby]

fun fact about me! I have hyperadrenergic Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (hPOTS). this means I am prone to fainting when I change positions or when I feel a strong surge of emotion, positive or negative. for me, laughing is my worst non-postural trigger.

this is a clip from playing lethal company with friends a few months ago. you can hear the eerie silence of presyncope at 0:19, and the sound at 0:23 is my face hitting the keyboard lmao. I played this for my mother and she literally pissed herself laughing and DEMANDED I show every single person I know (including my doctors, who thought it was funny to see and surprisingly helpful, especially for being audio only).

[inkskinned]

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?

[cottondo]

I LOVE YOU TOO master shake fic tastes so yum so great kinda tastes like pistachios but that’s ok 🥹🙏🏼 pls never stop writing js in general like I’m being fr ur amazing at it

[vmkhoneyy]

“People are inherently terrible” no!!! Have you ever seen a child wait for their friend while they tie their shoelaces? Have you ever known someone who would bring hurt squirrels and rabbits and mice to the nearest vet just so it doesn’t suffer? Have you seen someone grieve? Have you ever read something that hit your heart like a freight train? Have you looked at the stars and felt an unexplainable joy? Have you ever baked bread? Have you shared a meal with a friend? Have you not seen it? All the love? All the good? I know it’s hard to see sometimes, I know there’s pain everywhere. But look, there’s a child helping another up after a hard fall. Look, there’s someone giving their umbrella to a stranger. Look, there’s someone admiring the spring flowers. Look, there’s good, there’s good, there’s good. Look!!!!
