#I spent way too long thinking about this

[captn-trex]

WHAT MUSIC THE BAD BATCH WOULD LISTEN TO ACTUALLY THIS IS THE DEFINITIVE VERSION I'm kidding this is my very humble opinion. anyway let's go

Hunter — this man is the epitome of classic rock to me, (I know this is not a new take) but in much more of a AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Rainbow and Thin Lizzy way more than anything. I also see him being a lowkey Hendrix fan, and dabbles in some of the more psychedelic stuff from that time, a little Jefferson Airplane perhaps ('wish you were here' is his fav Pink Floyd album). I've been on the record saying that ZZ Top wrote 'sharp dressed man' about him and I stand by that, but I also see him rocking out to 'black night' by Deep Purple in particular

Wrecker — I see him getting on with most things, anything that gets him moving honestly, which is why I think particularly disco is his bag. man loves Donna Summer I'm telling you. I also see some acoustic guitar stuff there too: country, folk & singer songwriter stuff for when he's not up and dancing. big Johnny Cash guy from start to finish, every song. prefers the Creedence Clearwater Revival version of 'proud mary' (despite loving Tina Turner)

Crosshair — grunge. post-punk. garage rock revival. I'm talking The Strokes, Radiohead, Pixies. perhaps The Smiths thrown in there too. he likes Nirvana but he's not vocal about it because they're too 'popular' to be seen liking. he's pretentious but he keeps it to himself. 'boys don't cry' by The Cure hits home for him. secret Bowie fan but you couldn't torture that information out of him.

Tech— he will listen to anything that makes him think. he's analysing all the time. anything from Wagner to the Velvet Underground to math rock. in my minds eye he's a Dire Straits fan, and it's not so much a secret as he just doesn't let on. he appreciates the value of music in the same way as wrecker though, thus, one of his favourite songs is 'move on up' (the extended edition only) by Curtis Mayfield. the groove + the talent of the players + the interesting harmonies and rhythms, to him it's the perfect song. he's interested in the technological developments that brought in new genres and is fascinated by 80s music, as well as recording techniques like on 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band' (but it's not his favourite Beatles album, that would be 'Revolver' ofc)

Echo— a big fan of anything soulful, singers are the main appeal for him. he loves listening to a rich voice. Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone right up to Florence + the Machine, Hozier and Adele. also has a thing for britpop, and he's more in the camp of Blur over Oasis, but he likes both. musical theatre enjoyer on the downlow. 'before he cheats' by Carrie Underwood is his go to karaoke song, and he cleans up every time (he's the best singer, but Wrecker still gives him a run for his money)

SCREW IT WE BALL throws them into hunger games

[quintaava]

Imagine person A lightly tracing “I love you” over and over again on person B’s back, assuming that person B is asleep. When person A is lying on their back, getting ready to sleep, person B moves closer and wraps their arms around person A, whispering softly, “I love you too.” Bonus if that’s the first time person A has ever declared their love for person B.

Person A: Ava ; Barbara Melissa

Person B: Janine ; Melissa Barbara

today in my anatomy and physiology class I spent a bit too much time thinking about how the bone structure of a winged person

I eventually ended on them having a wider, more round scapula that's situated closer to the spine for the extra support that it would give

Lmk if anybody wants me to rant about the hypothetical biology of a fantasy creature

Mickey and Friends: Pokémon Teams P.1

So I am in a Pokémon mood and still in my Disney mood. So I am going to go over what teams and roles I think the Mickey and Friends characters would have if they were in the Pokémon World. In this version, trainers are usually a bit older (Like maybe 14 - 16) to go on their Pokémon journeys. Also, the starters are from multiple regions instead of just one. And instead of a main villain team, there is a variety of smaller gangs. Though recently they have been working more in sync than usual. But for the most part, everything else is the same.

I don't have all the teams filled out and will update when I come up with ideas

Professor Ludwig Von Drake - The Pokémon professor for the Sensational Six. He specializes in researching technology to improve the bond between people and Pokémon. Often usually making some kind of wacky invention. His main Pokémon is Porygon Z, who others claim acts odd, but he doesn't see it. His assistant Gyro Gearloose also helps with the inventions or Pokémon professor duties with his partner Magnemite and invention Lil Bulb.

Mickey Mouse - Mickey is a brand new trainer who has been dreaming of going on his Pokémon adventure since he was very young. For him, he is much more invested in exploring the region and checking out all the myths and mysteries spread throughout the land. The main mystery he is hoping to solve is finding out who was that small mythical Pokémon he met once when making a wish on a star and to hopefully see them again. And the gym challenge is the perfect way for him to do so. He is currently traveling with 4 of his friends (Donald, Minnie, Goofy, and Daisy) as they take the region together. However, not everything is peaches and cream as he has to deal with their rivals (Mortimer and Gladstone) as well as the various villainous gangs surrounding the region. His team comprises of:

Boltund - This is Pluto. He had this Pokémon ever since he was young. He actually keeps it out of his Pokéball. He tends to treat this Pokémon more like a pet than a battle partner. But Pluto doesn't mind getting into battles if the situation calls for it.

Typhlosion - His starter Pokémon. Initially a very shy and small Cyndaquil, but eventually Mickey helps him gain confidence and become a strong Typhlosion.

Pikachu *Shiny* - One of the first Pokémon he catches. He didn't realize the Pikachu was shiny until it was compared to Mortimer's.

Sylveon - He actually saved this Pokémon (back when it was an Eevee) from one of the various gangs surrounding the region. At first, she struggled with battling, but in a dire moment, she saved Mickey's life and evolved into a powerful Sylveon.

Smeargle - This Pokémon actually started to follow them as it enjoyed being able to simply draw the mouse's head. But eventually, Mickey added it to the team.

Dragonite - This is one of his later Pokémon that Mickey added as he realized he needed some stronger Pokémon. Thankfully Dragonite was able to provide more strength while still being a great friend.

Cresselia - Initially Cresselia and Mickey teamed up to take down a powerful shadowy trainer who managed to capture a strong Darkrai who was causing devastation in their wake. But Cresselia was so impressed with Mickey and figured it would be best to stay with him, in case more trouble arises.

Tandemaus - He actually shares this Pokémon with Minnie as they caught it in a love ball together. They don't really use them for battle but take care of them together.

Donald Duck - Donald is one of Mickey's friends who is traveling the region with him. He hopes to prove himself and become the champion of their region, by taking down the current champion, his Uncle Scrooge. He is more focused on gym leaders and the league, but is often dragged into whatever trouble the others get into. His current rival is his cousin Gladstone, who always seems to win his battles through sheer luck and even having a full team of shiny Pokémon. But Donald believes he can beat him and claim title as champion. His team comprises of:

Golduck - It is actually Duck family tradition to have a Psyduck. So everyone has one (Including Scrooge and Gladstone). Donald always struggled to get his Psyduck to listen to him and not be lazy, but eventually, he would become a pretty formidable Golduck.

Primape - This was actually Donald's starter. Due to a mix-up, some of the friend group got non-traditional starters. At first it took a while to get along with him. But eventually they found common ground.

Pelipper - He actually caught this one while on a boat. She and her flock were being attacked by some bad guys, but Donald saved her and she decided to join his team. They bonded pretty quickly due to both of their love for sailing.

Grimmsnarl - Initially an Impidimp that would follow him and pull pranks on him. Eventually, Donald caught it and managed to train it to be a powerful Grimmsnarl... Unfortunately, it still tends to pull pranks.

Absol - Donald first caught Absol because she looked tough and cool, but then later learned about her association with disaster and why people avoid her. But Donald ends up keeping Absol since he could relate to being seen as a disaster.

Ludicolo - He actually got this one from his friends who live in another region, Panchito and José. Though this Pokémon cares more about having fun instead of focusing on battles, Donald can't help but think of his friends through her.

Minnie Mouse - Minnie is another of Mickey's friends. She actually doesn't know what she wants to do and is just enjoying being with her friends. She participates in both gym challenges and contests to see which one she ends up being more interested in. She does however love seeing all of the cute Pokémon and building her team based on which she finds the cutest and giving them cute nicknames. Her team comprises of:

Dachsbun - This is Fifi. Minnie had this Pokémon for just as long as Mickey had Pluto. She uses this Pokémon mostly as a pet, also keeping her out of her ball, but Fifi doesn't mind jumping into battles as needed.

Sprigatito - This is Figaro. This was Minnie's starter. However, instead of evolving it, she kept it as a Sprigatito. He is very popular in contests, though can be a bit of a troublemaker.

Pikachu - She caught this Pikachu pretty soon after Mickey caught his. Both hers and Mickey's Pikachu get along, just as they get along with each other.

Azumarill - She hatched this Pokémon as an Azurill and trained her to be a pretty tough Azumarill. Azumarill manages to do well in both contests and gym battles.

Goodra - She actually saved Goodra from one of the villainous gangs who were not treating him very well. Now she trains him with love making him one of her strongest Pokémon.

Leavanny - Minnie was unsure of having a bug Pokémon on her team, but later fell in love with the bug's designs. They tend to work together on making new clothes for contests and even just to wear.

Tandemaus - This is the Tandemaus that Mickey and her share, though Minnie tends to hold onto them the most. Tandemaus does actually enjoy contests and joins her from time to time.

Goofy - Goofy is really there mostly to support his friends. He doesn't really have any specific goals and is honestly okay with that. He tends to be the one healing, cooking, and just taking care of the group in general. He does, however, find a couple of Pokémon on the way that he manages to click with. His team comprise of:

Slowbro - This was actually his starter Pokémon and they instantly connected. He uses Slowbro the most when it comes to battles, though he is also a good support Pokemon outside of battles too.

Spinda - He found this Pokémon who somehow came to this region even though it doesn't belong here. However, Goofy instantly related to the clumsy Pokémon and let him be a part of his team.

Audino - This Pokémon chose to help the group out after a very nasty defeat and decided to join Goofy to continue taking care of them. She is a very powerful and helpful healer.

Kangaskhan - After helping to protect her baby from some villains, Kangaskhan joined his team. Goofy actually really connected with her and really started to like the idea of being a father someday.

Gyarados - He caught this as a little Magikarp and took great care of it even though the others were unsure how effective of a Pokémon he was, but eventually they changed their minds once he evolved at a crucial moment.

I may add more to his team, but this is what I have for now.

Daisy Duck - Daisy is all about the contests. She wants to get as many ribbons as she can and be well-known throughout the region as one of the most fashionable Pokémon coordinators in the world. She and Minnie do have a bit of a small rivalry when it comes to contests, but it is always just for fun. Her team comprises of:

Quaquaval - This was her starter Pokémon. Initially, their personalities clashed a bit. But eventually, they got a long and Quaquaval is now her star Pokémon when it comes to contests.

Swanna - She caught this one pretty early and it evolved pretty quickly from a Ducklett. She takes a lot of pride in herself and can be a bit of a diva... Kind of like her trainer.

Wigglytuff - She also got this Pokémon from an egg with Minnie. She hatched as an Igglybuff and she trained it to be a Wigglytuff. She is a bit chatty, but still a great Pokémon for battles and contests.

Hatterene - She actually saved this Pokémon from a group of villains who were mistreating her. For a while, this Pokémon didn't really trust anyone, but Daisy managed to get her out of her shell.

Milotic - Initially she won this Pokémon as a Feebas in a contest and was disappointed at first. But despite that, she continued to raise it and to her surprise, it became a beautiful Milotic.

Jynx - She caught this Pokémon as a Smoochums and eventually evolved it into a Jynx. This is a very affectionate Pokémon and tends to show it's happiness through kisses, which usually Donald was the target.

Maybe if I have more time I'll do rivals, villains, and gym leaders/elite four/champions.

I would love to hear your ideas though

[iwannalixthosefreckles]

If you had to write OT8 into X-Men, what powers would they have and physical characteristics?

The longer this sits, the less work I have to do 🤣 because as you said, Luce, they've been doing the work for me!

Bang Chan, we decided, is Caliban. Finding the other team members and bringing them together. I can't bring myself to give him Caliban's usual look - bald head and heavy brow - so I'm actually gonna steal Cable's look and give Channie a star-shaped scar over one eye. That eye glows when he's using his power.

Lee Know would have the powers of Sunfire. Burns hot and fast. Literally glows like the sun when he's powered up. Keeping the long hair, just because.

Changbin is the Juggernaut. Just a big ol' slab of unstoppable beef.

For Hyunjin, I like the idea of him with Mirage's powers of illusion. He'd read the minds of others and create a vision of their worst nightmare - or their wildest desires. Sometimes, when looking into the minds of his opponents, he'd be pleased to see that he is the answer to both.

Quicksilver Han is all your idea and absolutely perfect. Quick and quippy and confident as fuck in his abilities. Has to wear the goggles.

Felix is Gambit. 100%. That rakish charm, that swoonworthy accent, so cocky all the damn time. I need this one, actually.

Seungmin has me a little stumped (it's usually him stumping me for some reason). I feel like he'd be someone like Legion. Super powerful, but dark and twisted. And yes, I'd style him straight out of the comics, with the crazy tall hair with the white streak.

Jeongin would be Shadowcat. The cute maknae, full of enthusiasm and hopefulness, but also mischievous, prone to literally popping out of the walls at the most unexpected moments.

[eraseur-a]

💞 + list of names (3-5) you'd smash. Pro hero or not.

send 💞 + any dirty questions you may have for them on anon, and they HAVE to answer honestly

Oh god no. Oh no.

It's one thing to be asked this by a drunken acquaintance; it's another to confess it publicly. But he has no choice.

"Mic. All Might." As for the third...

"I'd like to make Endeavor cry."

[your-reference-here]

Okay, I know I already reblogged this, but my brain has been absolutely gnawing on this AU's possibilities so I had to write some of my ideas down.

Boq is definitely the DM. He seems like the kind of guy who would have gotten into the game back home and then brought it to Shiz. He tries for weeks to get Galinda to play, but it's not until he mentions it to Nessa, who then mentions it to Elphaba, who THEN mentions it to Galinda that a game comes together. Fiyero tags along too because he's curious...or at least that's what he says. It's not until they actually arrive at their session zero character creation that he rolls up with a fully prepared character sheet and they all realize "oh this guy knows this game."

Here's what I think everyone decides to play:

Galinda = College of Glamour Bard. I put this in my original reblog and I'm sticking with that. The whole subclass just feels like it was made for her.

Elphaba = Wild Magic Sorcerer. I was torn on whether Wild Magic or Divine Soul would be her subclass, but thinking it over more I've decided to say fuck it, give her the Wild Magic Sorcerer build because it fits thematically and because its shenanigans are fun. In universe, my excuse is Boq suggested choosing options that they could relate to as a first time player, so there you go.

Nessa = Order Domain Cleric. In my head, Boq mentions that cleric is his favorite class, so Nessa decides to explore those options. Something about the Order Domain just speaks to her...maybe it's the desire for some control over her own life, maybe it's a dark foreshadow of who she will become later. But who's looking into it that deeply?

Fiyero = Cavalier Fighter. He just wants to kick ass on a horse. It's also a nice way to uphold a "knight in shining armor" appearance for his peers. Galinda loves it, while Elphaba just rolls her eyes and calls him out for being a horse boy.

The first game is a simple fetch quest that quickly goes off the rails. This isn't unusual as far as D&D goes, but it does escalate to a loud enough volume that the crew gets kicked out of the library and has to find another spot to play. This could be a number of places, but I like to think Doctor Dillamond is kind enough to allow them access to his classroom, mostly to keep them all out of trouble and because of his soft spot for Elphaba (he's happy to see her making friends and joining in whatever this strange social club is). His only request is that whatever mess they make is cleaned up before the first class the following day. It's very close once or twice.

Now, in terms of how our cast actually are as players...

Galinda is the confused enthusiast who has no idea what she's doing but is going to do everything with an air of exaggerated flair. This results in her being the unintentional button pusher/trap trigger-er/the one the party is constantly yelling "NO!" at a second too late. Somehow, she always manages to pull through whatever mess she is in or has gotten the entire party in, mostly because she's able to gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss everyone else, including the DM, on a whim.

Elphaba is a born rules lawyer who comes to the game having memorized all her spells and abilities, only to find herself consistently exasperated by Galinda's choices and/or fighting with Fiyero who knows the game so well that he's found countless loopholes to exploit. She does end up having fun but hoo boy does she come close to magically throwing a book at someone's head on multiple occasions.

Fiyero is just vibing and, though he won't admit it out loud, is genuinely having a good time with these people and it's the happiest he's been in a long time.

Nessa is the only one trying to keep the party on track with the plot for Boq's sake, who is beginning to question bringing this particular group of people together.

UPDATE: I just saw the spellbook again in the artwork and was like "shit that's really a wizard thing to have a spellbook" and then I remembered the beauty of the multi-class, so my solution is that Elphaba decides to multi-class later on into a School of Transmutation Wizard.

I feel like the purpose of a door isn’t to block access but perhaps the opposite? It’s meant to give access to a space. I mean, without doors you would just have open frames in walls… But now I’m thinking maybe the purpose of a door is privacy?

But then… would that mean that the door is active when it’s closed? or open? Because if you think of it’s function as giving one privacy when you are in said space, then that would mean that its “on” when you are in said space, but “off” when you leave it? Because you are not currently occupying the space.

I would say it’s “off” when it’s open, because it isn’t fulfilling it’s purpose?

This is causing a bit of a stir on Twitter but:

if we consider a door to be a kind of mechanical device, there must be an on state and an off state.

so.

okay so usuki is a parody of barbie, and usuki are almost exclusively the neopet usul:

and they have a competitor which is exclusively quiggle, looking very similar to Usuki:

quiguki could be compared to, say, Sindy dolls

but considering modern doll lines, what would a modern competitor to Usuki look like?

Here is my proposal: Rainbow Pooluki, a brand celebrating diversity in neopet colors and species. Rainbow Pooluki are highly articulated dolls with inset eyes and varying color schemes, named after neopia central's famous Rainbow pool... (and Rainbow High).

Many Rainbow Pooluki's, like Starry Pooluki, reference famous neopian citizens (such as Kauvara, who is a starry Kau!) but are very fashionable.

I chose to make the Pooluki anthro style instead of quadrapeds, but I was thinking this line would also focus on typically quadraped pets, hence why I chose Kau, Poogle and Chomby. Maybe it would make more sense to make them on all fours (since at least quiggle and usul normally stand upright) but... well yall have seen my other artwork how was i not gonna make them anthro-fashion dolls.
