Zelda x Princess Bride AU ✨ (part 4?)

[sunnydazeee]

Jack manifold tries so hard to get someone to notice him, whether that be in a negative light or a positive one, he doesn't care. during Tommy's exile, he steals "hotter girl" (a fake girlfriend that Tommy built out of a jack o lantern and logs) from him, and rubs it in his face, desperately wanting a reaction from him.

he gets no reaction, Tommy simply does not care. Tommy is apathetic towards Jack before saying he can pretend to care, that he can lie and say that he does care. Jack says this will only make him sad.

Tommy and Jack are so tragically similar in the way that they just want to be recognized. they want to be seen, and they don't care if it's in a bad way.

they both try to get revenge on people for wronging them, but when Jack does it, no one seems to care.

if Jack manifold were the one to burn George's house down, he would not have gotten exiled. dream didn't exile Tommy because he cares about George - dream exiled Tommy because it was Tommy.

jack repeatedly tries to get revenge on people by putting clay in their houses and saying it's from dream, but no one ever cares about it. it's just a minor inconvenience for them.

Tommy is the scapegoat of the SMP - and Jack is the one that is always ignored.

they both try to get any type of attention, they're so desperate for someone to care. Tommy gets that attention, and he only realizes he doesn't like it after the fact.

jack never gets that attention.

jack sees Tommy getting all this attention, he sees him doing the exact same things as him but getting the result he never gets, and he gets upset.

during the season one finale, he specifically aims the nukes to Tommy's house. it's a desperate last attempt, maybe if he gets rid of the person getting more attention, he'll get the recognition he so very craves.

tl;dr: jack manifold and tommyinnit are so similar in a very tragic way and i have brain rot over it

"Do you ever miss it?" Quietly. She doesn't want to break the peace between them, especially not with this. "How we used to be?"

Anthony's chest rises and falls. His fingers are tangled with hers, and his thumb strokes gently over her pinkie. "No," he says, like he's thought about it. "I mean, we had our good moments. Being with you was always...always good. But..."

She squeezes his fingers. Lets him know that she's listening, that there's no rush. There's no rush anymore.

"You always had one foot out. I could feel it. I could feel myself losing you and I just drank more to numb that pain and it made you want me even less." His voice is tight, but she knows it's okay. They've talked about it so much, how he doesn't blame her for leaving, how she doesn't blame him for struggling. It just wasn't the right time, but they never stopped loving each other. Not really. "And now you're here. Like, I know you're here. I know you'll answer when I call and I know I'll see you when I come home. And so, fuck, it's so much better."

Brought to you by the revival of my Imperial Radch obsession

I accidentally opened my Ancillary Justice playlist again, so here's a translated pop song in the style of @radchaaipopsongs.

I am a fish in a cage meant for birds.

My sister is constantly singing.

She tries to calm me with her beak

And make me feel at home.

She has a mind full of wilderness

And tells me what has to be true–

That in another world, I can fly

And move as I please.

So carry me away,

Sister who claims me.

Expose me to the outside world.

Tell me the truth,

For I rely on you.

Take the place of my wings and my eyes.

As we breathe in silence,

A voice appears to comfort me.

It is the voice of propriety

And feeling for the other.

For wings and fins

Each stone has a different feel.

I was given more than I requested–

The power to be the same.

So carry me away,

Sister who claims me.

Expose me to the outside world.

Tell me the truth,

For I rely on you.

Take the place of my wings and my eyes.

How Some Of The Hazbin Characters Kiss

Charlie

Very gentle & sweet

But I mean, she's princess of hell, she's not that innocent

I feel like she'd bite your bottom lip

Not hard mind you, just a lil nibble

And knowing her, she'd feel bad & say sorry if she thought she might have bit too hard

Vaggie

Like Charlie, but firmer

And minus the biting

I also think she'd like to be dipped back like a princess when kissed

Cause she's a princess just like her girlfriend, & you cam't fight me on that

Vaggie's a princess too dammit

Angel

You all think i'm just gonna say he's a sloppy passionate kisser

Which he probably is

BUT

I also like to think he kisses softly

Not gentle, but soft

He'd also hold you

Like, bottom set of arms on your hips, top set of arms holding your face, gently stroking your cheek with his thumb, maybe even running his fingers through your hair

He's a pornstar, so he's gotta know how to kiss well

Husk

Kisses like a gentleman

No tongue stuff (at first), no crazy touching or feeling up, just a nice PG rated peck on the lips

Probably will hold your hands or your waist real respectfully too

I'm not a Husk simp persay, but I get the feeling he kisses the best

He's a sweetheart

Alastor

Okay, lemme make something real clear

I love Alastor

He's the main reason I got into Hazbin in the first place, & I am always gonna be all types of down bad for him

With that being said

This motherfucker can't kiss

Like, you go into kiss him right? He'll be doing his creepy smiling thing, but he won't have his lips shut. He'll be kissing with a big-ass toothy grin, & you'll be kissing on his teeth

You ever kiss someone's teeth? It's awkward, uncomfortable, & a lil painful

He either doesn't know how to kiss, or he's doing it just to be an ass

Still love him though

Nifty

She doesn't kiss

She bites

You go in to kiss her & she just bites your face off

Adds it to her collection

I can maybe see her kissing your cheeks a whole bunch

But on the lips?

I'm going from oldest to newest, with a little note, the original post date, and a link to the post. @seeking-elsewhither and @whyoneartheven yo you two wanna come look at this?

First dated picture of the boys. March 17, 2024. [x]

6, 16 and 25 for any OC of yours who can answer them!

I'll answer these with Qhuam, since he's fun to talk about. Can't wait to share things about him in the future. 6. What combat situation are they better suited for? Can they handle a 1v1 fight or do they prefer to have someone always on their side? How do they deal with larger-scale combat and what's their role in it (frontlines/leading the charge, backline/support, as far from it as possible, etc)? What happens if they are ambushed or outnumbered? Is there any situation that stressed them particularly?

Qhuam often works alone. It is how he does his best work. Being a professional sharpshooter means he excels at dealing with targets in one on one situations. But isn't afraid to drop several bodies in quick succession if he has to. And while he works alone, he often has a D- Series golemite by his side to act as a spotter, named L.O.S. If Qhuam does find himself working with others. He is very often your backline, or Sniper support. However, don't let the fact that he's a sniper fool you, if there's one thing being part of the Inquest has taught him; it's that you better be good at defending yourself if you have to. And Qhuam is very precise with a knife...

16. Is there any unique way in which they mix their magic and weapons? Can they do it at all?

While Qhuam can't enhance his weapon with magic, he often employs a special cartridge of his own design. These bullets deploy fins that siphon ambient magic from their surroundings as they fly, and then release that stored magic on impact, increasing their destructive power. This often leads to Qhuam absolutely splattering weaker targets, and flooring much more durable ones when these bullets are used in places heavily seeped in magic.

25. Do they use a weapon or magic unique to them/that's not present in-game? If so, how does it work?

Under the assumption that all the rifles in the game are Semi-Automatic rifles that use magic for ammunition, Qhuam's weapon is unique. As he uses a Bolt Action rifle and actual physical cartridges. With a rifled barrel, and a rotating bolt action of his own design. This rifle, once used for competitive sharpshooting, can fire at a rather shocking 40 rounds per minute in his hands. Both thanks to the materials used in the bolt mechanism's construction, and Qhuam's own ability and familiarity with the weapon. While the rifle has an internal magazine, rounds can also be loaded into the the breech and fired one at a time, if the situation prevents the user from committing to a full reload.

more 10-minute power hour doodles, yay!

I think these two would get a massive kick out of a bubble gun

I had already uploaded this to Twitter but I think I should upload it here too

[egipci]

So a couple of nights ago I was reading Flesh Wound by @vintagedean, which I’ve read a couple of times in the year it’s been up, before realizing, to my great shame, that I’d never left Vin a comment --- so here is that comment, adapted into a brief recommendation.

I have no prior knowledge of selkie lore or, to be honest, any particular interest in folktale retellings at large. I am, however, very interested in 1) the ways in which desire/love changes a person’s body (e.g. pregnancy, but there are also things like infections or deformities, etc.) and 2) more specifically with these characters, how they talk to each other and what they say. These selkie sores, which are described in sparse but impressively vivid prose (in a way that made me think of leprosy), are the physical manifestation of Dean's devotion to his dad. What's more is that they both understand that this is the case, and they speak about it obliquely, for most of the story, in the service of advancing a lie about the extent of the hurt John is causing (and indeed himself experiencing)— until the wonderful (and heartbreaking) closing shot.

Throughout we see Dean articulate to himself the desire to leave (recalling "I had dreams of my own, but Dad needed me"), and choose repeatedly to stay even as his condition gets worse. As Dean gets worse, so does John and so does the anxiety about contagion (though depending on your interpretation, contagion may be entirely impossible; and in fact, John himself is the source of the contagion: “And [Dean] then hisses when John’s hand reaches for a different part of him”). The closing visual of the story captures this anxiety perfectly, as well as their tragic inability to put an end to their "secret" even in the face of horror of its direct result*: John is fucking Dean with his "torso raised to avoid the worst of the remaining sores on Dean's chest," hinting at both a concern for Dean's comfort, but also John's own discomfort with interacting with these sores in a sexual context, despite having tended them before— he’s only involved insofar that he means to help Dean. And yet the disgust doesn’t hinder him entirely from seeking that closeness— because of the profundity of his love for Dean? I think that’s always true, and at least always partially at play. But that love is tinged with a desperation that comes out in a really vulnerable exchange, the kind of confession that naturally would compel Dean to stay but which also mirrors Dean’s own discomfort at being seen by his father. The one-sidedness of their back and forth feels so true to these characters: they’re crushingly intimate and vulnerable and that’s what allows them to lie to each other and to trap each other. It comes down at the end to Dean’s willingness to say whatever his dad wants to hear, to choose comfort over truth, and John's choice to believe what he wants and to hold Dean to it. Great stuff! Everyone go read it!
