#I'm a basic bitch who likes projecting :3

[knackfandomarchive]

Come to think of it I'm probably the one who's weird about skin. Sorry to say...

well i haven't spilled my guts on tumblr since i was in college but it's the platform that's felt The Most Mine thru the years, so

let's talk!

i've had a huge chip on my shoulder that i wanted off before the year ends. very bad professional experience to follow

so firstly to get ahead of the speculating, i'm not naming names or anything. some of you will puzzle out who i'm talking about, but please don't bother anyone especially not on my behalf. i've worked hard to distance myself from them the past few months. shit happens, especially when you're a dumb bitch (that's me!)

but also this person was someone i considered a close friend and it makes me uneasy to possibly direct backlash at them. "then why post about it" bc i did intermittent work for them for over a year. this is just about that. so hear me out

basically it started off fine. i initially did some commission work for good pay, then was invited to become more involved with their team. unfortunately as i became more involved with their operation it became more disorganized over time. projects started then forgotten, constantly shifting schedules, lapsing communication between roles, confusing financials, and often inconsistent if not late payments. during mid 2023 i was doing colorist work, sometimes on a one day turnaround (all while also preparing drawfee's summer merch launch). the payroll wasn't set up correctly so i wasn't paid for that work for over a year (more on that later), tho to be fair that was largely my own fault at first as i just didnt realize the payments didn't go thru lol

i always consider myself decently capable of separating friendship and coworker-ship; i run a company with 4 wonderful friends, going strong for almost 5 years. that didn't really work out in this case. by early this year our friendship was on the rocks; work issues fed into personal issues and vice versa. so as the rest of this shit plays out, we had just had our first "big fight" which i felt very bad about and added to all the upcoming tension

a huge point of friction was the fact that i really wanted to work with them to make a music video for one of their songs. i've always wanted a chance to make a music video, was confident in a concept i came up with, and even did some concept art for the idea. everyone insisted they loved the concept and that we should do it, but we kept pushing it back for various reasons. it ended up becoming a huge sticking point for my frustrations, which i tried to express productively. TLDR, we eventually got around to discussing it seriously around april.

i planned to ask for $4000 with negotiable add-on for the whole project, which was my Friend Discount price. i was offered a contract for $1000 flat rate, as they insisted that was the only budget they had for it.

don't ask me why i signed it lol. i didn't even counter offer

there was some girlmath to it: i wanted an extra 1k for a student scholarship i provide every spring and well, there it was. but if i had to guess, i saw it as something i just couldn't back down from any more. i caused these folks- my friends- a lot of problems bc i dug my heels in so deep to chase this project, so fuck it we ball

i had about 4 months to solo a 3 minute music video. they wanted it done in august so they could release it before summer ended, bc "it was a summer song". to be fair i was asked if i needed them to pay for anything extra like assistants (which i would have to find and manage) but i was so immediately overwhelmed that i didn't wanna slow down to wait on that process lol. there was very minimal communication other than brief progress check-ins every few weeks. i did everything for that project myself: the original concept, character designs, storyboards, layouts, backgrounds. i even did the editing/compositing for the final cut of the MV. the only favor i did myself was limiting the amount of it that was actually animated to simple loops and motions. hardly my best work but it was work still done

i did it all in between my full time job. i ended up having to take nearly a month away from most of my drawfee duties (with the support of the others) to make the august deadline. i only ever asked for a 3 day extension (notice given about a week in advance, around the same time i was given the final song file lol). i finished the music video at 6am on the final deadline and recorded drawfee the next day on 2 hours of sleep

but it was done, coolies. the team was very happy with the final product. honestly, without getting into it, those were a very emotionally taxing 4 months. on the professional side, i regretted agreeing to the project and especially for the dogshit rate they offered. i felt like a hypocrite- as someone who always wanted to advocate for younger artists demanding their worth in a world that's getting increasingly hostile toward creatives, i failed myself

so when i met with the manager to discuss the release plan, i told them to do whatever worked best for them as i only had one request: i wanted my credit removed from the project

tbh... like... lmao this dramatic bitch right!! but really, i decided that bad practices only breed worse business. friends or not, it was unprofessional of me to accept such a low paying job so i just didn't want my name used in association. everything felt so muddled to me and i was just really tired at this point

the manager was very understanding and then offered that i could be paid more. they said that their team "was surprised" i accepted their low rate and they would be happy to up the amount. this confused me as the initial budget seemed pretty set and at no point between april and august was i offered a better rate. i knew these guys weren't made of money. so, i declined. i didn't want to put anyone out of their means over work that was already done and agreed upon. but more importantly, i was over the whole thing and didn't want to prolong the project with a contract renegotiation. i just insisted my name be removed

they decided to use a pseudonym (which i was fine with) so they could create a story about a character who made the MV (this sounds really convoluted but i don't know how better to put it without getting specific, sorry). that way if people asked about the credit, they could speak comfortably about it without signaling that something went wrong behind the scenes. ok, kind of a silly narrative imo but whatevs. and maybe this is where i finally went truly wrong but. yolo i guess

i gave the name "D. Smithee", D as in dilfosaur and Smithee as in Alan Smithee. look it up for fun film trivia ig! was it passive aggressive of me to reference that in this context? yeah, honestly. but i thought it was kinda funny and really not that deep. if it was a problem, i have other real, non-cheeky pseudonyms i regularly use. the manager accepted it and all i had to do was wait for them to post the video and i could leave the whole experience behind me

a week later i received a message from the manager that my pseudonym had been denied by the rest of the team bc one of them got the reference. fair enough lol. however, they decided that rather than ask for a different name, the were going to make one up for me that they liked and would "fit the [story]", without asking me

and that! is when i finally snapped!

i was so tired of giving them concessions at this point and having a credit made up for me without any input from me felt genuinely violating and unethical. i started to Panic bc of how stressed i was, and asked for my overdue payments (aka the $500 still owed on the MV, and the colorist rate from a year prior that was never paid even tho i reported it in january) to be scheduled ASAP as i was leaving the work discord immediately

i finally told them off for exploiting me throughout the months while i kept trying to just be nice and finish my contact cleanly. in return i was told that it was unfair to say that as i agreed to everything- i accepted their cheap rate and denied further payment so that was all settled, and it was ok to change my credit without my consent bc i "said they could do whatever with the release". i called bullshit, ended the convo as kindly as i could, and cried lol. they agreed to ditch the pseudonym and just give no credit. that night was the last i heard from anyone on that team

and the real kicker?

august came and went. then september, october... and they never released the music video

and i don't know why, because i was never contacted about it. i've been removed from the picture entirely i guess. 4 months and boatloads of stress. just. up in smoke. i don't know what i expected honestly

it's hard to not take everything that happened personally and as done in bad faith. i really do, honestly. i've had plenty of shitty deals in my almost 10 year art career, but it hits different from people you saw as friends. but to the point of "why not keep it private", i have never felt so disrespected as a professional as i did this past year. i can toy with money and credits and other formalities all i want, but my work- my ideas, my labor, my effort- is still so important to me. i felt like the biggest idiot for doing so much work, pouring so much of myself into a piece for someone's use, for what has amounted to nothing

but more importantly i hated myself for undervaluing my work, even if initially i thought this person was a trusted friend. money is not really an issue for me- drawfee is my main job and i am fine and comfortable. it's so important to pay artists appropriately but i often undersell my own work bc i value the collaboration and passion between creatives more than the reward. i think a lot of artists tend to feel the same, and it often makes us easy to take advantage of. it's so difficult to find the balance between passion and making a fair living, and i think there's some shame within ourselves when artists choose to prioritize that passion

i wanted to finally get all this off my chest bc i was ashamed of every choice i made. things like this happen all the time i'm sure and hiding these mistakes only make it easier for it to happen to other people

tldr always value your work and protect your passion from people who just see it as a product. and don't give cheeky pseudonyms i guess lol

(and again pls don't bother anyone involved about this. a lot of chaos has left my life as i moved past all this, and this is me closing a door without opening new ones hopefully lol)

this shit was truly

so ass.

but i'm moving past it now

but on a nicer note. outside of all of this nonsense, i made lots of good memories this year. i'm truly so grateful to the many wonderful people in my life who keep me going even when i fuck up big time!

and thank you to all of you strangers who, despite everything, give me the time of day. especially if you read this whole thing. you're a real one :')

happy new year!

Okay what r ur modern hcs for Vat7k or TTS?

*cracks knuckles* okay, get ready for this >:3 (also, let it be known I have more but I'm limiting myself 😔)

This one's basic but beautiful but Hugo has a motorcycle and yes he made it himself, it is his pride and joy

Donnie is Hugo's foster mom and depending on the au she's either sweet Momella who finds him as a fucked up kid, fosters him and adopts him juuuuuuuuuuuust before he turns eighteen, Blitz style (but if she's a mean Bitchella she fosters him for the government paycheck and treats him like shit)

Yong is OBSESSED with Steven Universe, will light up when someone asks him about it and has been making fanart for it since he was like eight or stm

Hugo wears chunky doc Martin's and ONLY dov Martin's (they're dected out with charms and stuff, this is me projecting) which pisses Varian off cause it only makes this bitch taller

Rapunzel became an art teacher and she makes murals with her students throughout the school (but she's annoyed they make here wear shoes there lol, she wears those weird barefoot ones)

Varian was in juvie and this is probably where he met Hugo

Nuru looooooooooooooooove crocheting, and her ultimate show of love is making you a personalized sweater (it took her a while to make one for Hugo and the first one was made with purposefully itchy yarn. Yong on the other hand has dozens of them)

Hector once sneaked Varian aside at a family party when he was like 16 or stm to teach him how to do shots right but got mad when Varian actually liked it and said "No! You're too young for this go have some apple juice!"

Hugo either dresses grundge and like he couldn't give a fuck or like a total dramatic slut (the first one is me projecting again)

Nuru hates having to take care of her natural hair (despite loving how much it looks) so she usually wears it in braids or her favorite, those star puffs hair extentions that I saw on YouTube that one time (someone pls now what I'm talking about)

Kiera is a sickass softball player (loves threatening people with her metal bat) and Cat does it with her but it isn't her favorite lol (Oh and they both play viola cause ✨️projecting✨️

Hugo's glasses are taped together cause he's clumsy but refuses to pay for new frames (those cost so fucking much dude-)

Varian likes to doodle on his sneaker and Ying does it too because he wants to be like his big brother and sometimes they doodle on eachothers shoes <3

Hugo pireced his own ears, did his only needle-poke tattoos and is basically just DIY or die

Yong uses his adorable dumpling-ness to get away with shit but his true colors are LITERAL SPAWN FROM HELL (trust me, all twelve year old are)

Because of all his experience with chemistry, Varian is one helluva bartender

THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE RN!!! Hugo at some point was enlisted in the army (in my eyes to try and get away from Donella) and it leave him even more traumatized and it either goes a) dishonorable discharge for smt like stealing, idk OR b) he gets his arm blow off from a grenade or it has to be amputated cause he got shit or something so he leaves with a metal of honor, some dog tags he never take off and ✨️trauma✨️

Varian is actually pretty popular in highschool/collage but never goes out and Hugo is always at every party but just sits in the corner getting stoned

When Varian came out (to Eugene first, cause his crush on Hugo slipped out) Eugene makes an entire presentation on why being bi is AWSOME, but WHY HUGO!?!?!?!

Nuru lives wearing super pretty gold eyeliner and makeup and sometimes she and Hugo will do makeovers <3

Hugo faced a lot of homophobia in service so he struggled with it when he got out (especially the genderfluid part) :(((

Amber's has the kost subtle or southern accents and Nuru loves it, and she can make the BEST peach cobbler since she grew up in Gerogia <3<3<3 (like Nuru cires tears of joy everytime she makes it)

Hugo at some point was a pretty heavy smoker/stoner (man ALL my modern hc of him so far are angsty.... dang) but Varian always hated it and forced him to quit by saying "I'm not gonna kiss you anymore, that smoke tastes like shit!" (That saying, there first kiss was Hugo shotgunning him at Varians one and only collage party based on an amazing fic I read <3)

Ummmmmm happiesh Hugo thing! He loves playing the violin, it's one of his favorite things especially when he gets to play with Varian and bully Kiera & Cat for playing the viola

Every year, team radical goes to the amusement park as a summer tradition and every year, Hugo gets sick on the roller-coaster but goes anyway because Var lives them. Nuru gets her face painted while amber wins a bunch of stupid prizes for her and Yong gets lost on purpose to scare the gang

Somone BETTER ask me this again cause this is really long and my fingers hurt so I'm leaving it here for now, do with is what you will~

[nicki0kaye]

decided to make this its own post @solrika, I think I'm probably gonna be wordy and want it to be easy to find my opinion on this

My answer is; it's complicated

I personally think Kallus does things because he Wants to do them, there is a goal in mind, long term or short term, and once he's given himself over to a course of action, he pursues it doggedly. No half measures. Guilt is not a strong motivator, nor is 'what is right'. If either of those things mattered, he would have cracked earlier than this. But no, before and DURING the Honorable Ones, he's a bastard almost to his own amusement. Because it gets him something.

His reasons for leaving the Empire are complicated but to me ultimately selfish. The end of the Honorable Ones leaves him with two realizations; he is unhappy living alone with no one who gives a shit if he lives or dies, and all the success he's seen as an Imperial Agent is over. His career is dead. There is no upward movement without a retreat from his position on Lothal, because he will not win against the Spectres. This is an inherently unsafe place to be within the Empire. It is a death sentence to continue to fail.

He could transfer, but his pride wouldn't allow for that. It would be admitting defeat not just to every other ISB agent, showing weakness to the people most likely to use it against him, BUT ALSO to Garazeb, who is the ONLY person in the universe Kallus has any kind of true relationship with. Like fr the only person he's genuine, emotionally attached to, even if it's in a 'if I don't kill him myself with my bare hands, I will die' sort of way. Kallus' own self-worth is tied up in being Garazeb's better, as it has been with every other Lasat he's hunted since Onderon, and after YEARS of being denied and bested, after the Honorable Ones, he decides to settle for being Zeb's equal. Anything less is unacceptable.

So Kallus pivots to selfishly chase a future where he is not alone and not disgraced, with every intention to die in pursuit of that goal. He isn't stupid, he knows his odds are in the negatives. Maybe he'd have a chance in hell if it was just Pryce, but he's a mole under Thrawn. He expects to die.

Doing things that would get a normal person killed is one of his vices, tho, so this is not the hard ask it would be for, say, Lyste. Kallus gets off on every tiny victory where someone buys his lies. He lives for the thrill. New boss, same shit, different day.

He is for sure doing everything with the express purpose of gaining the Rebellion's trust, but ultimately their goals are now his goals. It is transactional to him, because everything is. It's an exact parallel to why he joined the Academy in the first place; a form of freedom that stroked his ego. There is very little he has to shift in his brain to justify his actions once he decides to become Fulcrum.

I still think it takes months of denial and fence sitting. That may be a lack of understanding of the timeline on my part, but afaik, after the Honorable Ones, Kallus falls off the Spectre's radar until season 3, and there's a good chunk of time to fill. This is entirely my HCs, but He fills it with a) denial and b) research.

Finding out Geonosis was a project above his access clearance moves the needle a teensy bit towards Fulcrum bc goddammit, Garazeb was right, the bitch. It's also hella concerning that they're being so tight lipped about wiping out a planet's population; that isn't the norm. Kallus especially should not be barred from this information, and yet.

This isn't enough, tho, so he decides to go back to the basics, to one of the very first things he was taught about how to control a population; their food access.

This is where he learns just what he's been ingesting for the last 15+ years, and that there was more in his rations than just stimulants. His food has been keeping him, and most every other officer, chemically castrated and emotionally stagnant through added hormones. It's not a huge surprise, but it is something he didn't know about or consent to, so it's something he can easily resent, and also something he can take to the Rebellion as an olive branch; here's what's in the standard Imperial rations and why you should never eat anything intended for a Stormtrooper. Their aim is shit for a reason.

From there, it's just taking time out of his day to day to go down different rabbit holes of Imperial injustice and inefficiency. After all, if this Empire was really working as intended, as the most efficient form of galactic government, Kallus would never have been given an OK to use the abandoned construction site of the Goddamn Death Star just to honeypot his personal rival. There's plenty of other evidence that the driving factor behind the leadership is not efficiency but cruelty.

From here Kallus can externalize his issues with the Empire and align himself politically with the Rebellion without shifting much of his own morals. His professed reasons for following the Empire are built on lies. He will bend the truth for his own gain, but after enough rabbit holes, he can't make any more excuses. He also begins to carefully phase out his issued rations for untampered food, which does allow him to Feel his Feelings, which solves the problem of truly atrophied empathy.

Going forward, he will point to his research and Zeb's challenge for what changed his tune. There is no way In Fuck he will admit to Anyone that the true motivation was fear and loneliness. Only in his worse moments will he admit it to himself, and even then, I think he refuses to examine what he even wants from Zeb. That Zeb gave him something on that moon that no one in the Empire has ever given him; a sense of safety.

That's the last piece of the puzzle for me. It isn't just that Kallus is aware he's outliving his usefulness to the Empire, or that he wants the companionship and concern Zeb was shown when his family rescued him. It's that for possibly the first time in his life, someone protected him. That he was placed in a position where trust had to be built and maintained to survive, and it worked. It's an honor I don't think any other sentient has earned, because it requires vulnerability on Kallus' part, and he would Rather Fucking Die. But he didn't! And it was the sentient that he's been obsessed with that saved him and protected him and kept him company on a hostile planet.

That is why I think Kallus falls in love with Zeb after the Honorable Ones; because he feels safe with Zeb, and it is such a harsh, biting contrast to return to the Empire and know in his bones he is Not Safe There and has no one to rely on.

His goal moving forward, what ultimately sets him to doing the research that becomes the backbone of his story going forward, is to find a way back to that safety, and that requires leaving the Empire endearing himself to the Rebellion.

I don't think everything he does is play-acting going forward, which is why I included the beat about the drugged rations, bc it allows for an explanation for why he would become emotionally invested after over a decade of apathy and outright cruelty. That shits hard, but it's a little easier for me to square if the apathy was manufactured. I think Kallus is genuinely disgusted by Gererra's ways of obtaining intel, both because one of Saw's boys blew his ass up that one time, but also because Saw's methods are cruel. I think as Kallus forms more relationships within the Rebellion, he expands his empathy and by the time the New Republic is established, he's internalized a lot of their morals very genuinely.

But we wouldn't have gotten here if the mf wasn't touch starved and terrified and was given just the TINIEST taste of a life worth living. And it had to be Zeb. It had to be someone he was already obsessed with to an unhealthy degree, someone connected to the only other thing that is Kallus' and Kallus' alone; Lasan and the bo-rifle. He could have weaselled his way out of it, if it weren't so personal, if it wasn't the only thing the Empire allowed him to keep for his own. His one sliver of identity. Not to say it wouldn't be fun to figure out other ways he could be brought to the Light, just that the situation in canon was constructed in such a way he only had two choices; to pivot or die.

bc if he chose the Empire, a future inside the Empire, he would have to kill the one thing that made him a unique person; his connection to Zeb and Lasan. That's the only way to avoid being taken behind the shed and put down for one too many fuck ups. Kallus would have to completely start over, entirely rebuild, and even if he didn't fully internalize that, the fear was there, driving him away from that so strongly, it was never really an option.

To summarize, Kallus left the Empire because he wanted to live. Not just live, but live fully, because Zeb gave him a glimpse at what that might mean and offered him access. There is a better life possible and Kallus fucked up and chose wrong and went back to the Empire anyways, and he Cannot just sit with his thumb up his ass, he has to meet Zeb as his equal. He has to live.

Thoughts on Epic the musical?

It's pretty good so far! I'm still a sucker for Hadestown over everything else but uh, funny story, actually...

So recently my husband and I had to make a trip out of town to pick up a marketplace item. Basically an hour drive there, an hour back, fun little afternoon trip. And while we were driving, I made a joke about how he shouldn't "sass me" because I'm in charge of the music and I could, y'know, force us to listen to musicals for the entire trip.

In all my hubris, I forgot that my husband likes musicals. He really likes musicals.

So when he called "bet" I was like "welp shit... guess I'll put on Epic because at least I haven't listened to it a million times like I have already with Hadestown."

Y'all. That was like... three weeks ago? Going on a month? He is obsessed with Epic now. He has been listening to it on repeat, watching the animatics, gushing about the plot threads and character development, and he was the first one to tell me "hey the next part of Epic is up, please go listen to it so we can talk about it!!!"

So yeah, Epic is great and while it's not my personal favorite, it's definitely struck a chord with him 😆 And that makes me really happy to see ngl because he tends to get stuck in ruts a lot with the media he consumes, new and exciting things are hard to come by for him (plus we're both judgy bitches so it's also a matter of finding stuff that actually delivers on the hype LOL), so when he DOES find something he connects with so deeply, it just... idk it makes me happy to see him happy :' ) <3 He's up to his neck in the thrill of a shiny new hyperfixation (•̀ᴗ•́)و

So yeah, Epic is very good so far, if you haven't listened to it yet you should definitely check it out (just note that it's an ongoing project so get used to cliffhangers LMAO) and if you don't believe me, believe my husband who's way smarter about musicals than I am, he's given it his 10/10 stamp of approval and that's a pretty big honor ( ´ ∀ `)ノ～ ♡

[skelly-words]

more bf!sukuna hcs, but he’s insufferable and stuck in my head. this is part 4…

warning: some NSFW, slight intox, minors DNI

NEVER lets you drive. he’s so misogynistic. “females are bad drivers” ass bitch. "you're gonna wrap us around a tree."

claims to despise when you baby him e.g. forehead kisses, scratching his back to put him to sleep, even fucking cuddling. don’t believe that shit for a second but pretend to and stop until he starts acting grateful.

way too confrontational to be taken out in public. just pretend you don’t know him when he’s pulling a gun on someone who stepped on his shoes.

you’d be broke if you bailed him out of jail every fucking time. at least let him marinate there all night before folding or call his dad to do it instead.

so messy. it's unintentional, but sukuna just leaves a trail of disorder in his wake. throw pillows on the floor, shoes in the walkway, and always leaving the lights on despite complaining about the utility bill.

throw him outside to do yardwork or something. he loves that shit. putting in a couple fruit trees, maybe stepping stones. by the end of the summer you have a tiered garden with slate retaining walls and an automatic irrigation system.

why does he have a green thumb? he's in a secret competition with the neighbors for prettiest lawn. and yet, you manage to kill the little succulent garden he planted for you.

a minimalist (derogatory). sukuna is always trying to throw your trinkets and knickknacks away when you're not paying attention.

he loves getting a little fashion show after you buy new clothes. it's one of the few cute things he'll admit to enjoying. it doesn't matter if the outfit is skimpy or modest, hearts are popping out of his eyes like in a fucking cartoon.

doesn't apologize under any circumstances. the word 'sorry,' isn't in his lexicon. however, he will leave his card on the counter before heading to work and pick up flowers on the way home and make reservations at your favorite restaurant. don't expect to hear a real apology though.

super duper tender-headed. you can't even detangle it without him whining. might cry if you try to do braids, twists, any kinda style. fucking pussy

irritating asf. actually hate him, idk why i’m writing this. i'd probably poison him and collect the life insurance.

UMM nsfw

calling sukuna something corny and dominant in bed (sir/daddy/king/etc.) out of the blue would make him nut. and he isn’t even embarrassed about it at all.

incapable of pulling off a quickie. i think this is more endearing than aggravating. he can't hit it right in just ten minutes. he'll ask for more time. and a little more. then it's been an hour and you're likely running late for something.

thinks you're hottest bent over (i'm not even projecting rn bc my ass is flat). don't worry, he thinks your face is cute, missionary is great too. but if you wore one of those pillow case ass house dresses with no panties he'd go crazy. i hate to air him out like this, but it's true. i gotta link this shit so you know what i'm talking about. makes him feral. maybe i am projecting bc i luv those dresses.

but anyway, he'd fall for the 'bend and snap' so bad (legally blonde reference). these are basically crack, sorry

occasionally forgets that foreplay is a thing and tries to go straight from light frenching to stickin it.

i feel like sukuna’s sunday nights are spent getting really high and kissing on you for hours. he just gets the munchies dude. leaving dewy spots of saliva on all your exposed skin. once he’s tasted that, your clothes is peeled off so he can drool on the rest of you. he doesn’t even realize how much of a tease he is. his mouth suctioned to your inner thigh… maybe i should just write this as its own thingy

p sure i said this already, but he’s a biter. gnaws on you like a mf chew toy. it’s an oral fixation thing, if you don’t like it buy him lots of lollipops and tic tacs.

ok i have to stop before i gross myself out. tyty for reading <3<3<3 have a wonderful day.

masterlist if you wanna read the rest

[trashrattt]

I totally think Code lyoko should have it's talked about reboot, mostly because

- when it came to Carthage, the most canon explanation from Franz himself, the explanation only lasts about 1 minute and 25 seconds, and nothing else comes of it

Sure, we knew why Xana was created, but like, Franz never really said Xana stopped it as it was his main intended purpose, why Xana was made to begin with, so like, that's a real issue in canon consitering Franz wanted to stop the project but never got to consitering Xana gained autonomy and all

And like, Carthage was kind of hinted at to be a bad thing too, you'd think that could be a real issue in universe

- spent 3 whole seasons building on this one character only not to do much with it at all and give him a really bad rep in universe afterwards

Okay, you know me, I like William an abnormal amount, but with all things considered, he wasn't a character to begin with, neither was a plot device imo

Yeah, he absolutely has no personality, argue with the wall if you need to

So like, yeah, he got posessed, but then what? Sure he was used to try to throw Aelita into the Digital sea, but like, tarantulas could do the same thing with those long ass arms, they could just use them as bats

And you've literally seen megatanks push her closer to the digital sea when she used a energy field as a sheild of sorts, so really, what was the point of him to begin with of other monsters could do the same thing no problem

And after a whole season of dawdling around, the writers rushed the whole "set him free" arc after ignoring it for basically the whole season, like there wasn't any episodes besides cold sweat where the characters actively try to break him free, you'd think there would be a little more give from the characters considering how #depressed Yumi was

(and yes, I know the show says, "I made ___ program" but let us see the FAILURE!!!!)

Even then, when he came back, the characters all decide "fuck this, you ain't shit to me" and dropkick him back to his life without any support, like dude lost months of his life without something he either remembers or blanked out on

- character writing in season four

Okay, this isn't really a reason why, it's more of saying "Why did you make your characters worse, we deserve better"

Because Odd in season four just became an absolutely terrible person, man

Constantly throwing his freinds under the bus just for some scheme he pulled or literally abusing the fact that he knows about Lyoko as a point to say to the others "This is why we're friends!!!1!@1!!" Even though at this point their friendship is downright terrible, like to the point where they just want to get Lyoko dealed with so they can fall apart like a poorly put together cup with scotch taped all over it

Imo nobody seemed to like each other as opposed to season 1 and 2 where they talked casually, like they had an actual friendship going on, not like "so, what's new on Lyoko, I want this shit dealt with today..." they were actual friends who did stuff together and had fun, I miss that :<

Anyways that was a more personal take, but season 4 just leaves a bad taste in my mouth with that rushed ending of theirs

Uhm oops, this was a long rant of what I dislike about the show, I was supposed to make this post simply to tell you guys what I'd propose for a continuation

Here's what I'd do:

Consitering Carthage was an abandoned idea from the depths of season 2, we build on that again

I'm imagining a non-terribly written Evo mixed with the chronicles, like bitch I actually love the idea of Ulrichs dad being tied in with Carthage simply because like, it would make so much sense (absolutely don't pull a chronicles though making EVREYONES mothers under the sun being tied in, that was stupid)

I'm also thinking, the antagonist we have is still a program, but it isn't Xana like in main series

Sure, they're simular, but it's a remnant from Carthage that has the same ideas as Xana, but worse (this is all first draft, but that's like the main idea that could work)

Also, give Will and actual personality this time, not just this "I'm soooooo sad" attitude that any traumatized character has, he has the potential to be COMPLEX!!!!

Kids cartoons nowadays are getting complex so don't say "Oh no they can't, it's a kids cartoon"

Anyways I'm hoping they build off of Carthage because that would be a PERFECT continuation aauaghh

Enjoy (?) My unexpected rant, idk

[redhoodinternaldialectical]

For the ships ask game... Jaymia and Tim/Lonnie?

oooh some choice rare pairs!

Jason Todd/Mia Dearden

What made you ship it?

lmao YOU :3

tho I also could see that there was the potential for something there basically as soon as I read Green Arrow (2001) #72 and that comic is really like a lotta the basis all around

What are your favorite things about the ship?

The narrative parallels are so fucking juicy, but a lot of it is also the respect. When Jason fights her, he has this complete and total confidence in her skills that's really compelling to me, and that could also be appealing to her if they'd ever actually talked to each other after that.

Especially!

The 33 angles page

it's so so so good "You're holding back, you'll never beat me if you don't go for a kill shot"

"Okay bitch, BET" immediately shoots him in the eye

And he's happy she did it! He ain't no whiny little bitch who was only taunting her, no, he meant that shit!

And like, holy shit would those 33 angles be DIFFICULT like this is him telling her she's holding herself back and can be more effective in combat than doing something that should qualify her for the Olympic gold in archery

This is enemies to lovers GOLD here people! IT'S SO GOOD :D !!

There's this sense that Jason truly believes in her, in part because he sees so much of himself in her, and so to believe in her is to believe in both of them. "We are both strong, we are both survivors, we both deserve better than serving rich boy trash who will throw us away the second they realize what it actually takes to survive."

And he's not entirely wrong to see himself in her either! Like, narrative speaking, it's very obvious that Winnick had Starlin's treatment of Jason in mind when writing her. In the same way that Speedy was the second Robin, so too is the second Speedy also the second Robin- uh the second, second Robin?? You get what I mean! Roy is to Dick as Mia is to Jason.

Furthermore, Mia is the Hero Jason could have become if only he'd had a real support system. A main theme of them when contrasted against each other is that healing requires support, willpower alone is not enough. You could build one hell of a relationship around that!

I dunno I think if Jason took a hot second to stop projecting his and Bruce's relationship onto Mia's relationship with Oliver, the actual real similarities they share could end up bringing them together.

And like, obviously Mia thinks he's a jackass at the end of this event, but I also think maybe she sees their parallels too? And idk I think it would only take a couple teamups of circumstance to get them talking and have that like mutual respect, one-sided hate, and uncomfortable self recognition in the other thing going that really makes enemies to lovers shine

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Uhhhhh... that it's a good ship?? lmao I don't think I've seen anyone other than us shipping this, so I'm not sure I could call any of my opinions unpopular! I guess let me know if we've got any disagreements xD

Tim/Lonnie

I do ship it but only very casually or maybe just there's ONE Tim/Lonnie story that lives in my heart and I need to see it happen lmao

What made you ship it?

I read Lonnie's first appearance and wanted to strangle Tim to death about it, and figured it could be great and cool to watch Lonnie strange Tim in a horny way instead lmao

What are your favorite things about the ship?

The potential to make Lonnie a straight up Hero once he's been wrested away from DC's cold capitalist fingers, and complicate Tim's relationship to justice through that.

Because again, in that first appearance Tim is simply flatly in the wrong. He is the villain there! Lonnie was the good guy!

And I... I just crave a story in which the way the Bats (esp Bruce and Tim) interact with wealth is brought to account and I think if we could write an enormous amount of freak gay pervert sex into that narrative it'd perfect

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Again, I've seen so few things said about this poor ship, that I can't tell if any of my opinions are unpopular!

So instead I'll tell you about the JayTim fic I abandoned after I realized that it SHOULD have been a Tim/Lonnie fic, or maybe even a JayTimLonnie fic bc I'm incapable of writing things without Jason in them lmao

Devil's Briar

I didn't know about the relevant comics at the time, but I basically stumbled my way into a timeline in which after the events of No Man's Land, one of Gotham's islands never gets reincorporated into the USA and remains a no man's land indefinitely. From there a complex alliance of various villains, heroes, anti-heroes, and civilians created an anarchist commune out of the rubble.

The story centers around Tim learning about this, falling in love, and deciding to give up all his wealth and throw in his lot with them.

Which would be SO FRIGGIN GOOD as a Tim/Lonnie premise but I just didn't understand who Lonnie was at the time (or... any of these characters really lmao, I ended up using Wally instead of Bart as Tim's speedster of choice for instance) and so it's all just not quite what it should be.

The title is a link to all 16,000 words of draft that I published and I'm leaving a lil snippet here along with my sincere invitation to steal this shit if any of the writing looks good/interesting enough to build off of

Tim sits atop a gargoyle in Upper East Side and chews mechanically on a burger and fries. His mind churns as he stares out across the bridges at Devil’s Briar.

What had once been the festering heart of Gotham’s underbelly in Crime Alley and The Bowery is now a post-apocolyptic nightmare forest courtesy of Poison Ivy. She and a laundry list of villains had taken the whole island to themselves during the mass prison break at Arkham two years ago.

Nearly a hundred villains had poured into the streets of Gotham, and the entire city had been an all out war zone for months on end. A three way battle between The Joker, The Penguin, and Black Mask was nearly resolved just before The Riddler and Scarecrow had entered the mix at the behest of Two Face. Once that had been mostly thwarted both the Court of Owls and the League made a move and ended up fighting each other, the remnants of the other gangs, and the Bats all at once.

By the time anyone had the resources to do something about Ivy’s gardening project, she had already become deeply entrenched with a deadly alliance of other villains.

It doesn’t help that there are so many unknowns. Dozens of Arkham inmates, some rather powerful, are still unaccounted for. Deadshot, Manbat, Killer Croc, Zsasz, Bane. Any or all of them could be holed up in there with who knows who else. And because of Ivy’s powers, they ostensibly have all the food and water they could ever want. This is not a war that could be won by siege. Not that the city isn't trying anyways.

Red Robin is startled out of his thoughts by Oracle’s voice, “Double R, I’ve got some interesting news for you. The Red Hood just exited Devil’s Briar about five minutes ago and hailed me.”

“He’s still alive?”

“And part of Ivy’s little gang to boot! I don’t know how he’s managed not to shoot them all by now. Then again maybe that’s what this is about. He’s got a message for you, and only you. Damn near begged me not to tell any of the other Bats.”

“And you agreed to that?”

“More or less. Figured I’d send the message and let you decide. He’s nearly unarmed though, so there’s that.”

“Wonders never cease. Not that a brick wall like him is ever really unarmed. Let’s hear this message, then. I’ll probably regret it, but due diligence and all that.”

”Cynic.”

“Realist.”

She sighs, and then continues “He asked me to tell you to meet him on the roof of the Harrowood Apartment complex on 47th, and to explicitly tell you that you’re welcome to bring a friend as backup so long as they aren’t a Bat.”

Well now, that was certainly odd. Nearly unarmed, out of his territory, advanced warning, a meet location so close to Nightwing’s route that he could have backup within minutes, and an utterly unprecedented offer to bring in an outside ally. His paranoia urges him to read it as a trap, but something seems off.

Tim hums in thought and licks the last vestiges of mustard off of his gloves.

It’s just too much. Too many cards stacked in Tim’s favour. Too big a risk to take for Jason, whose paranoia sometimes outranks even Bruce’s. Either he has a serious ace up his sleeve with a serious time limit that necessitates a bait like this (highly unlikely), or…

“Oracle has there been any sign of our more, shall we say, subtle enemies involving themselves lately? Like the League or Court?”

“Nope. They’ve all got their fingers back in the usual pies, been pretty quite otherwise. Why, you have a hunch?”

“Not really, just running through possibilities.” He gets a noncommittal grunt of acknowledgment in response.

So, not them and it really can’t be the work of anyone else he’s aware of. Jason never has taken kindly to orders and it is very difficult to put a man as violent and unattached as him under duress. I mean what could they do, threaten to dull his favorite knife? Dunk his best pistol in mud?

Tim spares a small smile for that mental image and then frowns as he considers that whatever brought Jason out here of his own volition must be big. It usually took nothing short of an apocalypse to drag him into a possible team up, especially a self initiated one.

But then why just him?

Sensing that he isn’t going to get anywhere without additional information he taps his earpiece, “You still there O?”

“Sure am.”

“I’m going to make a few calls, see if one of the speedsters can come in for a minute. Don’t tell the other Bats unless things go south, and let Hood know that I’ll be there with a friend in thirty.”

[feartoxinjelloshot]

That scriddler pill is sweet can confirm. I'd love to hear what your thoughts are on them though :3

so there are 2 answers to this

number one: THE NORMAL ANSWER (CV)

now you may be thinking "oh man feartoxinjelloshot that guy has weird and avant garde tastes in batman character dynamics" WRONG. It is solid 65% just ed and jon in here. they live in my brain rent free. clipsverse ed and jon are, first and foremost, neighbors who live in the same shitty apartment building, and everything else about their relationship is a progressively weirder extension of this fact. edward is "out" as the riddler for a while before jon's scarecrow activities get revealed to anyone, so jon knows that his neighbor is a career criminal and does his best to avoid him. however edward has a habit of yelling obscenities and other threats to his apartment walls when he's frustrated and alone, and jonathan, somewhat antithetically to his anxious nature, is the only one who is actually perturbed enough by this to tell him to shut the hell up. edward is not initially enraptured by the tall sick man down the hall but they just keep on running into each other, and via strange bruises, odd hours and unexplained purchases eventually edward begins to suspect something is off about him. he conducts his own guerrilla investigation into this and quickly stumbles across the truth.

jonathan becomes somewhat of a fascinating figure to edward, now knowing about his "nighttime activities". their very dubious landlord doesn't really care who rents the building, as long as they pay rent on time, so after his initial stint in arkham jon is allowed to return to his apartment (which edward had secretly been keeping from being cleaned out and re-leased. not out of goodwill or anything, mind you - it's just that all of his other neighbors were god awfully boring.) jonathan is extremely perturbed by edward's interest in him but, one, there's nothing he can do about it, and, two, he does unfortunately get along with the man.

much later, when there's actual trust involved, they balance each other out in odd ways. edward is one of very few people that jonathan feels comfortable showing the depths of his weaknesses to; likewise jonathan is one of few that edward doesn't feel a need to either prove himself to or detachedly "solve" (not that he's not still a little freak mind you). jonathan spends more and more time in ed's apartment until he's basically unofficially moved in. edward eventually convinces him to move in for real, at which they become a bit attached at the hip.

they don't get into a romantic relationship in cv (jon is aroace, barring anything else) but they do form a strange esoteric partnership that i hesitate to even attempt to label. gay love wins etc

number two: THE EMBARASSING(?) ANSWER (THE OTHER CV)

do you know how annoying it is to have accidentally come into use of the same two letter acronym for your batman project as a pre-established fan podcast. anyway

so i haven't actually listened to all of rogues the podcast (aka codotverse) through 100%, but i've gotten big chunks done with and am kind of tragically enraptured by jon and ed's titular character dynamic. rogues has flaws just like any other media but like, my god. the road trip was basically catnip for me. i love some bitches who argue.

unfortunately (for the creators, not for me) the canonical insistence that rogues jon is straight only made him more of an appealing candidate for repressed homosexuality for me. he's kind of my little chew toy. in my beautiful brain palace he's bisexual but does not know about it, or if he does he is very good at hiding it. i don't fathom to know if edward is supposed to be canonically bisexual but he sure does read like it, imo. anyway i'm writing a fic where they make out in the bed of a shitty pickup truck. hence "the embarrassing answer", but not embarrassing enough that i intend to keep it from the masses. unless god himself reaches down and stops me you'll get to peek into their foul little freak brains.

henceforth, my insane crack theories about rogues jon and ed's gay relationship that does not actually exist: jon being the "straight" man that he is jokes about fucking ed in a very Straight Man Joking About Fucking His Buddy way. which is all well and good. it's kind of driving edward (openly bisexual) insane though because he WOULD drop everything and fuck jon if he didn't know that jon was actually straight and would regret it in the morning. he is deeply convinced of this fact. ed also has a second vested reason for not wanting jon to regret a one night stand beyond being a (surprisingly) decent friend, which is that he is a little bit in love with jon and jon's blatant rejection of him would do evil things to his heart. and jon won't act on his desires because of a lifetime of repression and internalized homophobia. so they're kind of at a weird stalemate where jon won't make a move and ed won't make a move and they both are deep in it with each other. its like watching a soap opera except its in my brain and nowhere else

[augment-techs]

Hello! I know we haven't really interacted before, so this is kind of out of the blue, but my very dear friend @regaliasonata told me that you do asks for power rangers. I wanted to ask if you had any headcannons for Aisha Campbell. I'm currently planning a MMPR fic and I just can't get a read on her. If not, no worries. She's kind of an unpopular ranger to think about, I guess.

Hello, hello, greetings to any and all who have questions and requests about Rangers.

As it stands, I do in fact have headcanons as well as a general read on Aisha Campbell. Not necessarily the live action MMPR one (she wasn't given nearly as much background and attention as Trini or Tanya) but, ohhhhh, the comic girlie is a BLESSING.

From what I can tell and peg down, she is actually the most assertive and no-nonsense of the Stone Canyon Trio. When Kim was picking and pecking at them for every little mistake, sniping at them when they questioned Zordon and how things were going with Zedd, Aisha was the one who first and foremost called out their shit and was unwilling to stand down at the unfairness of their treatment by the senior Rangers. This earned her a lot more respect from Kimberly than just following orders would have and we're all very glad of it, because Rocky is actually a peace keeper who jokes at inappropriate times when he's EXCEPTIONALLY nervous and Adam is willing to see both sides of an argument and maintain a certain level of submission if it means nobody gets hurt (except for him).

According to comic canon, she's an only child of a single mother household and is also the ONLY person to have ever been paired with Bulk in classes and had nothing bad to say about him about the initial shock of Miss Appleby setting them up as partners. I headcanon that this actually worked out really well because she's a PERFECT Yellow to match against Bulk's (comic) Color of Purple.

Also as a side note to reference an image above, she is very considerate towards Bulk and Skull just...in general? In this universe the writers had the decency to drop the bully thing directly after Matt's abduction to the moon and Putty swap (plus the Blue Ranger/Billy making Skull feel like shit in GGPR #3), but that can't be the ONLY reason. I like to think that she can actually see underneath the underneath to who a person really is. Which is why she saved Sentry Adam's ass in the World of the Coinless when they'd been on opposite sides of a war for the better part of 20 years. Girl is precise, considerate, no nonsense, SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN PLACED WITH MATT (I love the boy, but the writers were seriously just bitching out of letting the Trio be an ACTUAL poly), is probably bisexual, and is one of the only Yellow's that actual lives up to expectations. Caretaker, cautious, blunt when needed, too.

I actually like her more than Trini in a lot of ways. Don't get me wrong, the og's actress and Trini in the comic had a longer run/were fleshed out, but this girl has potential.

Additional (basically useless) headcanons:

Could probably be a perfect candidate for Ranger Therapist when she grows up. All these fuckers have insurance and NEED treatment.

Loves her mother, thought she hung the moon when she was little, but is really aware of the fact that she comes from a different generation and is so paranoid about her finding out she's queer--actually more than if she ever found out she was a Ranger (Zordon has a mind wipe gun for that, at least).

Is shorter than Kim, but has more self-esteem, so it levels out.

Has actually started a pseudo-book club with Bulk in the aftermath of acing the shared project(s) they'd had. She recommends more domestic, psychological books from the feminine point of view that he always reads all the way through and it makes her weirdly happy to talk with someone normal about it (bless Adam and Rocky, but unless it's for school, neither of them care much for her tastes). As a trade off, she reads his recommendations of eclectic varieties from authors that never seem contained within one genre and that she'd never have otherwise read. This is good for both of them in a number of ways.

Is not afraid to check out all of her teammates, but is at least subtle about it (reflective surfaces are her friend).

Kind of sort of really doesn't like Zelya. The Eltarian helped save their lives and the planet, but after weeks of walking around town and seeing the missing person posters Skull hung up and what that meant, the woman (and Zelya is a woman, by human standards probably hundreds of years old) kind of gives Aisha the creeps (which Rocky and Adam don't really get, but support her as best they can).

Loves all sorts of Asian foods, but doesn't really like spice? Something to do with a memory of one of her cousins tricking her with wasabi, curry and cayenne and then throwing up so much her mom took her to the hospital.

Does not have much in the way of either boobs or a butt, but somehow has hips? Which is fine, really, given that Rocky has boobs to go along with his abs and Adam has a bubble butt--so everyone's comfortable when they cuddle together.

During the week after the bullshit to do with the Necessary Evil comic arc, she was super jumpy in spite of their success; which lead to her accidentally punching Skull when he was standing behind her in the lunch line because she got spooked--which would have lead the school to put her on suspension, but Bulk spoke on her behalf and Skull was unwilling to press the issue since, "It takes people a while to get used to the monster attacks and the sensory overload. She's not the first person to deck me, she won't be the last."

Reminds everyone to put on sunscreen constantly.

do you yearn for swap immi and director au lore? No? Ok! Have it anyway. (Ps. This is all in works + a message to friends hence my questionable typing and language . Sue me)

so , instead of being a Impressive pretty painting, immi was just a quick sketch for a off project in art , meanwhile imogen's method of trying to not be watched by the eye was to make something to cover her own. Aka a mask . The director 👍

I cant say some thjngs here because it would spoil other stuff, but! The director is the one to go to the institute, because they want to put together a performance but dont yet understand how humans work, so they want to watch and find inspiration. They basically go up to elias (who they immediately catch lacking "Mr Magnus-") and inturn for immediately catching him out, they're like "can i have a job ill do anything if you let me stay here and social experiment you bitches" and elias is like "yeah sure stop calling me mr magnus though????" Or something like that I'm not sure yet~

Meanwhile, immi was basically immediately both disgusted and captivated by humans. And inturn decides that she needs to understand humans but on a . Less wholesome level. The reason Imogen isnt very involved with either of these two is because immi tried to 'understand' her first and . Imogen is (very) paranoid and such by it. Also she's basically forcefully stuck in tbe painting because she has very little communication with immi

Immi doesn't actually live with or anywhere near the other two, instead owning her own place that is sort of like a mix of a cafe or art studio, which is where she takes people to very kindly psychologically (and sometimes physically) torture them! How girly of her .

To add to some. Unsettling aspects. Immi may or may not have gotten some advice from a flesh avatar, and ever so helpfully removed her eye from her hand, resewing it into a much easier to hide place because she does not want people to see it: its inhuman after all :3

I reckon things would start when someone went to the institute to put in a statement about feeling watched by paintings and other art after she denied the help of a young woman :) -> The director overhears this while working and is like. Oh shit. Thats. Oh dear . And immi finds out the woman snitched, deals with her herself, and tells the institute after the reach out to the woman for a follow up a few weeks later "oh haha yeah im actually her carer she was going a bit crazy with paranoia soooo yeah she cant talk to you anymore cause medical stuff :)" and i guess overhears the director in the back if the call or something like that and is like " girl I'm going to fuck you up for getting this dumbass institute anywhere near me and my plans ❤️" (even though it literally wasn't the director who did that lol)

Headcanons

now normally i'd sit here and say i've been working diligently on chapter 3 but honestly I haven't been able to sleep properly in 4 days and i'm really tired so no lmao

so instead imma do smth easier and shares sm of my hcs for the already debuted blorbos + twilight

i'm also detailing stuff about their kits again inspired by how hsr works

Time

He has no clue what he's doing, he hasn't been on an adventure in years and he hasn't traveled with other people like this so he's out of his depth

He always knows what time it is even if he's only been awake for 5 seconds

He's a heavy sleeper if he's in a house or inn, but if he's in an outdoor camp he has a lil more trouble settling down.

He has a resting bitch face plus he's old and stuff so the other links assume he's a wise old man, but nope, hes still a gremlin lil shit and a clueless dumbass most of the time, wars is the only one who sees that lol

As Mask he was a pretty angry teen, bitter at the world for everything that happened to him and those around him, he still has problems with his temper, but he's better at controlling it, Malon helped

Kit details: imaginary, his ult gives him a power up for a certain duration based on your trace lvls, hint hint, its basically fierce deity mode

Sky

he gets motion sick a lot (this is just me projecting ngl)

incredibly heavy sleeper, will only wake up after the sun is long up. even when he wakes up he's not fully awake until he's eaten something

He is the most self care conscious of the bunch, especially with other people. hes an empathetic person, if someone else he cares about is in pain he is too and he wants to whatever he can to help them feel better

Skys like the mom from little women, angry all the time but rarely shows it in front of the people he cares about, but he will fully blow up at anyone who dares harm them

Kit details: He's an ice element. he has shit stamina but he can land multiple strikes at once, an AOE hit. the stamina cost is big for both his skill and ult

Twilight

Twilights built different, he's strong physically without the help of artifacts or magic.

people think sky gives the best hugs and he does give good hugs but twilights the best

Twiight cant look like a kicked puppy on purpose but unintentionally has the best puppy eyes, he just can't use them at the right time aka when he needs it XD

He's a big sweetie, big brother energy, very good with kids but he has temperment issues, rather hot headed that one. comes with being related to time i suppose

Kit details: I gave him the quantum element in hsr, imo it was the closest to twili magic i could get. but the only time he's able APPLY quantum is during his ult, which in the concept art i did has him turn into a wolf

He interacts with magic the least of the chain. I was debating giving him phys dmg instead of quantum? but i needed to incorporate the wolf in his kit smhow. however he doesn't apply quantum dmg with any of his attacks, cept his ult

any questions or clarifications can be asked in my ask box

hihi i'm here to pick that massive brain of yours 😼

can we have some headcanons (or anything really) of george having a crush on a popular streamer!reader and maybe all his friends tease him about it bc he's just so smitten and has negative rizz around them? (sorry if this is basic but I can't get the idea out of my mind)

smitten

masterlist & descrip. pg. 13+. popular streamer!reader. fluff. george pining after reader. bsf!larray bc i felt like it. use of 'y/n'. swearing.

a/n. this has been rotting in my inbox for almost 3 weeks soooo here we are lmaoo. started writing 8/26/23, finished writing 8/29/23. crazy right??

”heeyy guys– oh fuck.” those were the first words george ever heard you say.

george had heard your twitch handle – your username – float around twitter for awhile since you had another big project coming up. but the first time he saw you was in larray's newest youtube video. you'd opened the door to the room larray was pacing around in, talking into this phone's microphone, and you had two coffees in hand. ”heeyy guys– oh fuck.” the cut off was when one of the coffees spilled a little bit out of the lid and onto the floor. larray let his jaw fall slack, looking between the camera and the floor by the entrance. ”oh bitch how did that happen?”

”shut up.” you start, stepping over the spill to put the coffees down on his desk. ”do you have paper towels?” and then the video cut to him driving alone in his car, singing along to another song as he did almost ritualistically during these cuts.

it was that video that sent george down the rabbit hole. it started with your youtube channels, your main which was mostly your shortened streams and those very rare vlogs you did with friends. almost two hours had gone by when he realised just how long he'd been watching your videos and laughing every few minutes because you had said something funny, or you added to a joke someone else had started.

then there was your twitch, which had him travelling over to your twitter, and after reading like ten of your tweets, he followed you. after shaking his head and closing twitter, he found himself scrolling through your instagram. starting with the most recent, which he liked, that was safe enough, and he just kept going, at least until one of his roommates knocked on his door, and he accidentally liked a really old post. it was late and he didn't understand what could possibly be so important.

.⋆｡⋆˚｡⋆｡˚｡⋆.⋆｡⋆˚｡⋆｡˚｡⋆. ︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶ .⋆｡⋆˚｡⋆｡˚｡⋆.⋆｡⋆˚｡⋆｡˚｡⋆.

george didn't bother telling any of his friends about you as he didn't feel it was necessary. ping. that was weird. george could've sworn he'd silenced his phone. then again, this wasn't his stream and he could afford to check it right then.

twitter – 1 new notification @ yourusername followed you back!

his lips parted, a heavy exhale leaving him. it was weird, but he smiled at it. ”ooooh george, what's, or who's got you smilin' over there?” sapnap half-turned around in his chair, wiggling his eyebrows at his roommate. george's eyes snap up to his friend. ”uh, what?” sapnap just sort of laughs it off and goes back what he was doing prior.

”hi george, i'm y/n.” you extended a hand out to the brit and after what felt like forever, he put his hand in yours and shook. ”hi.” was the only word he could manage out. as much as he wanted to make a good first impression, the only thing he could do when he looked at you was smile. it was something easily picked up by the rest of the group; sapnap, dream and larri. there were shared looks between the three, ones neither you or george saw.

you'd of course heard of the dream team, they were popular streamers, but you'd also heard about them from larri, who knew them a quite a bit better than the internet did.

larri was the first to speak up to get everyone back on track, to record the video. ”anyways so–”

god, george was a goner for you, and he didn't even really know you. at least not yet.

hi lilli! i’s me jayde (ham1lton)!

happy bday in advance!!! and for your event can i have a 🌎 office au with charles/lewis/oscar? up to u!! feel free to change up the prompt!! love u and ur blog <3

hihihi jayde thank you so much for this!!! ugh i love it so much i'm just gonna say a few things about each of them because i got ideas for all of them😇😇 i know u love a bit of a cringefail loser and honestly they're all a bit like that here:

charles is that coworker u have weird tension with iykwim like the guy that you KNOW if you'd met him at a bar or a party or whatever you'd be flirting up a storm and you'd probably be making out in a dark corner by the end of the night. but you're coworkers! so instead he spends too long talking to you at your desk. he asks you pointless questions just to have an excuse to talk to you. and other people def gossip about you two when you're not around. like everyone is aware that there's SOMETHING going on there. also i think he's bad at his job. sorry charles. u just scream failloser in the workplace. he ignores his inbox and every time you get a "finished" project from him you have to redo it. which is why u never hook up with him.

look lewis is definitely your boss or your manager. like he has to be. he does not give coworker vibes at all to me. he's not very middle manager to me either. so i think he's the CEO or the director or whatever. he's not in the office most of the time but when he does come in he knows everyone's names your name and he asks how your mum is going or whatever it is. like he remembers little details about you even though you'd fully expect and be fine with him to have no clue. and he's charming and nice and has you blushing and giggling even though you KNOW he's your boss. and then after he leaves you realise he didn't do ANY WORK. no meetings, no paperwork, nothing. he just came in, chatted you up, gave a speech and left before anyone could complain about anything serious.

oscar is the only coworker you have that's competent sorry charles he answers emails with haste! he completes his projects on time! he's the person you talk to when you need to bitch about the one several coworker that doesn't do their job. he brings u coffee and pastries everyday but is never pushy or weird abt anything. he's happy to be very normal friends, but if you want to initiate something then he's probably happy to do that too! he'd just be that guy who takes no shit and is good with telling overbearing managers to basically fuck off.

i'll tag u as well 💝 @ham1lton

my bday celly💝
