#LET'S ROCK. ( ask games. )

[dykedvonte]

I could see Jimmy's struggles on Earth being more about keeping a job/supporting himself. I definitely agree he's had some issues with police, but it's minor stuff like getting into fights at bars or petty thief.

Especially with his horrible personality, it's probably was hard not only finding a decent job, but one he felt comfortable in/believing he was a part of the team.

Giving him a laundry list of crimes makes it seems that predators like him are easy to spot when that's completely not true.

This exactly!!!

I’m not saying that Jimmy is like someone who slips under the radar completely, he does and says shit that’s weird, abrasive, threatening even but it’s never to the extent of outright suspicion. He’s just before that category and that’s part of the struggle. You have people like Curly that see the parts that aren’t all bad, even if they aren’t great, and those that don’t want to be involved when he steps over the line. On Earth, him crossing the line was seen with a sort of inevitability, people like Curly are much farther and fewer between.

He has a bad record but not an horrible one. He’s rude and abrasive but not outright violent. He’s bad with people but not in a way they stay away from him, he can’t keep them around outside of like Curly and non-comital pals, they probably don’t see enough of him to care. Jimmy’s in the perfect situation where he can just scrap by on his own but he’d be miserable. He’d always be on the cusps of comforts and stability someone like Curly or Swansea or Anya are stable enough in.

It’s why it’s easy to see why he could be given the benefit of the doubt. Why someone would pity and try to give him a step up or even try to find him a way out when he fucks up. He’s already pretty fucked in life why make it harder? But it’s the exact reason why you kinda shouldn’t. It can embolden the worse parts of him but he isn’t naturally trying to get away with the worse, it’s just he will if he starts to realize he can.

Okay then buckle up buttercup I would give you fearne but that's too easy and she's already a shitposter by nature of being fey. Let's do some hot hot takes on the rockman themself Ashton >:D

:D Rock Hair?! Okay I will try xD For this ask game

How I feel about this character

I THINK they are not so nice to their friends. Especially Ashley Johnson. The eating her rock and dying a lot over it was just not very cash money tbh. Good Hair Boss Man making them immediately puke the rock feels very justified. Very appropriate. However I think probably they try to be nice, but they are just a cranky bish. Would probably benefit from some choccy and a bubble bath. Sober summer fun.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

They were good friends with Grass right? Perhaps they could take it to the next level and have a simmering will-they-won't-they situation with Sequin Goth Grass from that cosplay show. Wasn't it a centaur? Rock Hair's stony nature might be able to withstand the raw power of that guy both being a horse and serving that much cunt 👌

My non-romantic OTP for this character

I think Grass. Grass is their Brobot.

My unpopular opinion about this character

I literally don't know what anyone's opinion is!!!! I think I saw a post that someone thought they should kiss Ashley Johnson. I think that's not right. Very against my head canon.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon

So you know in avatar the last airbender when everyone gets to have a life-changing field trip with Zuko? I think Ashton should have a life-changing field trip with Werewolf Pocket Peas

Chivetiger joined the clan long ago under the lead of Pinestar, but his life as a loner isn’t even a distant memory now. Though he spends much of his time alone, thinking up dialogues and stories in his head that fill his chest with pounding excitement, he is often the cat others in the clan turn to with their problems, as he always seems to have a hypothetical on how to handle everything. He’s happy to spit out his opinion on the matter, and then be left alone, no other conversation necessary. He can often be found in a shady corner, off to himself, sorting his collection of shiny rocks and mumbling softly to himself in little voices.

31. lies

"Tien? Can I see it?"

The young man doesn't ask what he means. He pulls it from his side, hidden under fabric with a few other pebbles, then hidden further.

His oathstone. The bit of quartz, the vein of iron. He hadn't seen them since he'd suggested Tien hide the stone with his life if he didn't want to lose both. He still knew exactly where they sat in the stone.

Everything else was less certain.

"The Radiants are back." He said. "They can't be back, but they are. I am Truthless, but I am not."

Tien pressed his lips together. The boy had only given up on protesting the title when he'd realized - or had it realized for him - that doing so made Szeth even less at ease.

"I know you're not. I know liars and lies, and you aren't like that." He looks down at the stone, then at Szeth. "So, do you take it back, then?"

He didn't do anything. You didn't stop being Truthless until you finally, mercifully, died.

Except, he'd never been Truthless. That had never been his oathstone.

"No." He held his hand out. Tien blinked, but gave it over.

Szeth breathes in, and out, and flings the stone out into the sea from the dock, lashing it further and further down.

Then he lets go.

"Szeth?"

"Tien-son-Lirin." He debates what to do. "I will help you find your brother, and then, go to search for what I need of the Radiants." Then, Shinovar...

He turns back toward the city and its bells and buildings. Tien moves to walk by him, eyes glancing between him and the shadows cast by Kharbranth.

Some of the shadows move wrong. Szeth watched the young man worry his lips, moving and mouthing without speaking. Yes. Szeth would find what he needed of the Radiants here, he suspected. At least, it was the best lead he had.

[tommyssupercoolblog]

hey how much is sapnap and matpat in the new tommyinnit video, i want to watch but i don't really want to see them

Matpat isn't in it. Sapnap is but it's just Tommy seeing him coming out of a store, asking if he's fucked up mentally, sapnap says no and Tommy is like "nice seeing you" very dryly and sarcasticly, and leaves. A lot of people say Tommy was being a bitch to him on purpose but he has autism and I ALSO have autism so....idfk

[pepprs]

acnl is a superior game to acnh in almost every way except the graphics. it’s actually making me mad

[hallothere]

87 (smile) + 34 (comfort/safety) for my girl Idhrien? :unlessranger: she should have a nice day

87. Smile 34. Comfort/Safety

A woman of the city- possibly a noble, though Idhrien had no way of knowing- had made it her solemn duty and highest priority to see her dressed for the evening.

"You may wear what you like, of course." Bright brown eyes blinked back tears. "But please... let me render whatever services you desire to that end. If it is only someone to fashion your hair, or provide the traditional flower adornments for your..." here she made a gesture at Idhrien's travel-worn uniform and trailed off, "...or even a dish of soap for your bath. Or... or nothing."

Idhrien turned back to look at where her brothers aggregated, some looking askance at the elaborate bath halls next to their quarters. As much as she ached to be near them, to see them breathing free air and laughing, she could hardly say no to a moment for herself.

But still... "You are very kind to offer," she began, "but I need no special treatment. I am no person of status, only a healer and humble servant of King Elessar's."

The woman kept blinking tears. "I...see..." she said, as though she did not, "Forgive an... old woman for insisting, but... I still wish to do something for you." She wrung her hands a little, clearly nervous, but pressed on. "I have very little in skills or trade, or even the healing arts. Some embroidery, not kept-up, and I have fashioned my own curtains since the days grew darker."

She sniffed and wiped at her eyes with a fine handkerchief, unembroidered. "But I have made it my business, in times I could, to help any young girl in the city who wished to... who had some event or another she--" Pausing again, she increased her efforts to remain dry-eyed with little avail. "You are not a young girl. It is quite fine if you have no wish to... There is plenty else for me to worry over. My husband's business, and him gone on the Pelennor--"

Her voice caught, and before she could turn away Idhrien reached out a hand to stop her.

"Forgive me," Idhrien began, "for I both misjudged you and misunderstood. While we have our own grand events in the North, they might seem... rustic to you. We wear our uniforms- though they shall receive some tending before tonight- to honor our Chieftain and King. But-" she hastened on, "-I should do him no dishonor to wear something else, especially a gift so kindly given from a cousin who has already suffered much." Idhrien swallowed thickly. "I... lost my father on the Pelennor as well."

"Oh, you poor dear." The woman's tears flowed freely with her pity and understanding. "You shall have whatever you like."

------------------------------

"Is it lavender?" Idhrien held the dress up to the light of the window. Her host- who had tearfully introduced herself as Lengwen- had practically thrown open her wardrobe, closets, and stores for Idhrien's inspection. This, and a dress of 'Calembel cream' color, were the top contenders.

"It looks paler in this light," Lengwen said, "but by the evening and in the torches it will shine differently. If you don't wish to-"

"No," Idhrien reassured her, grinning, "no, I think it's just perfect."

------------------------------

"Mistress Lengwen!" she called from within the bath chamber of the lady's house, "Which of these soaps should I use?"

"Whichever you please, my dear, I'm sure!" Lengwen paused. "And none of this 'Mistress' nonsense. Should you continue, I will be forced to point out that one of us ought to warrant a Ladyship due to her kinship with the King..."

Idhrien took the soap that smelled strongest of herbs and laughed.

------------------------------

"I fear we have brushed it too thoroughly."

Idhrien could feel her hair rising, crackling, sticking to her face in places. Likely as anything it stood up all over. She imagined great puffball flowers and tufts of wool. Lengwen only shook her head knowingly.

"Oh, never fear, my dear. We are quite happy it is dry and shining. I do have something for it."

She returned with a small bottle and Idhrien felt all the sillier.

"Oil! Of course. I'd forgotten, but we have our own mixtures back home. It's just.... been so long..."

Lengwen returned the sad smile that was surely creeping up on her own face. "There aren't great celebrations like this every day, but I hope we are coming on a time where they are not so far apart as to be easily forgotten."

Idhrien nodded. "So do I."

------------------------------

"Oh, pardon me, madam, I--"

It was worth a hundred tears to see Lothrandir choke on his drink. They had all agreed to gather before the ceremony- only partly in jest to see that no one got lost- and to have a drink while they ensured Aragorn took his place on the Pier with any trinket he might wish and forget in haste. Halbarad's star was one such effect, and Daervunn guarded it closely against all incident.

"You are thus pardoned, sir." She said, curtsying. Oh, certainly most of the rest had cleaned up- and some plainly accosted and consented to styling like herself- but only a handful had seen her in anything but her uniform. Amlan, across the room, still seemed to be puzzling over her identity.

Corunir looked stunning, but strode over still ignorant of city decorum. "You look wonderful!" he said, picking her up in his arms and spinning her around. "I should swear you were to be wed today! Amazing!"

She laughed aloud, and then louder still to see the faces of her brothers peering at this new curiosity. Helchon was agape, Mincham nodded sagely, and Mithrendan... Neither could voice the sentiment or bear it today, but his eyes welled up all the same.

My father, she could nearly read out of his mind, would have been happy to see me so well.

"Oh you'll forget me in an instant." She said, swatting Corunir's arm. "Once Lady Arwen ascends the steps, I'll be some sort of tablecloth starched-standing off to the side. And you a big tree-" she poked Lothrandir in an un-mopped spot on his shirtfront, "-that someone tried to water."

And they laughed, and cried, and spun around to show off stitch-work and borrowed finery. When their Chieftain- their King- arrived, they ascended to such a celebration as none could forget.

for the writer ask

💭🚦💛 💌

💭 What inspires you and your writing?

this is a real marketing major-ass answer (from your local marketing major), but i love sharing knowledge and telling stories. writing’s one of those things that’s a bit of a compulsion for me—i’m always writing something. i took a five-year break from fiction writing before i stumbled ass-first into fanfic last year, but even in those years when i was focusing on my career, i was writing guides and trainings and a ton of other stuff—just not anything fun, lol.

writing is also so cathartic. sometimes i set out to tell a specific story, but at other times, a particular emotion gets me in a vice grip and i have to put it to words before it’ll go away. my stories tend to wind up as emotional dumping grounds as a result.

i don’t write things pulled directly from my own life, but there are bits and pieces of myself and things that have happened to me scattered throughout stuff i’ve written, and usually when i’m about 75% of the way through a piece, i’ll realize it’s absolutely related to something i’m currently going through. funny how art works that way, even when you don’t intend for it to.

and occasionally i just have a fire lit under my ass about an issue and i get so hot about it that i gotta compile my thoughts. looking at you, silver snow

🚦 What sort of endings do you prefer to write: ambiguous, bad, happily ever after, etc.?

look, i would love nothing more for them girls (pick whichever girls you please) to have a happy ending where they kiss and are stupid in love for the rest of forever. i love reading those kinds of stories. but in my heart of hearts, i love an ambiguous ending. i like when there are still questions after the story ends. i like thinking about where things could go or how the characters will go on after the events of the story. like, shared space could be read as having a happy ending, but i don’t really think it is. and with the victors; the vestiges, well. you’ll see :0)

come to think of it, i’m not sure i’ve ever written a happily-ever-after, but i don’t think i’ve ever written a 100% bad ending, either. i read too many bury-your-gays stories and watched too many sad european queer coming-of-age films in my youth to ever be happy putting that kinda thing out into the world. i want to write about love with all its ugliness, but not despair or hopelessness. i think what most appeals to me about an ambiguous ending is that lingering feeling of hope. it’s not the same as the kind you get from a happily-ever-after, and something about it speaks to me.

💛 What is the most impactful lesson you’ve learned about writing?

honestly? how to take criticism. i took a creative writing class in high school where we had to read our work out loud and then receive feedback on it from the other writers in the class, and that did a lot for me. going into that class, i’d already been writing for forever and had won some little local writing contests and such, so i was a wee bit of a pretentious douche. but i’d never gotten real critique before beyond, essentially, spelling and grammar checks. it humbled me lol. it made me grow so much as a writer, and i could see where i needed to improve or where my head was wedged way too far up my own ass for others to follow. it also helped me recognize strengths i didn’t know i had, and that was huge. it’s easy to get into a self-doubt spiral when making creative work, and good, constructive criticism can do so much to help avoid that.

to this day i love critique. i like knowing what worked or didn’t work so that i can continue to improve as a writer and do better next time. did my themes land? did something really work, but another part fall flat? i’d love to know!! i try to treat everything i write as practice for the next thing, and frankly that’s helped take some of the pressure off so i don’t go into total Perfectionist Mode.

i know critique is kind of a sensitive topic in fan spaces, but i think that’s because a lot of people have gotten unsolicited criticism that is purely critical and isn’t constructive. but getting good, constructive criticism will do so much to help a person grow as a writer. it’s scary, and sometimes it hurts! writing is very personal for most people, and it stings when things aren’t received the way you think they will be. but i know i’ve grown more from having my failures pointed out (and, very importantly, having the good things about those efforts acknowledged) than anything else.

💌 Is there a favorite trope you like to write?

actually Just answered this in another ask!

[arlathen]

th. okay im only an hour in so i hate to pass judgment. but "you touched a magic space rock so you have to join the Plot Faction" very genuinely sounds like the joke answer to "how should we start our space video game". also mass effect did this better fifteen years ago.

[vulpinesaint]

so glad to see my little geralt of rivia post getting notes. i am the world's most average witcher lore understander (two seasons of the netflix show and three of the books and a bunch of time spent gleaning real lore from what people use in fanfiction) but i Do consider myself more correct than most people when it comes to understanding geralt of rivia. this is because i want to put him in a centrifuge and spin him around and my judgement is therefore unclouded by things like liking him as a character

chocolate cake roll (obviously chocolate, and a orange juice to drink)

INDEED! im eating chocolate rn but im out of orange juice :( i must get some asap!!! but i havent been home all weekend, so my fridge is lacking a bit for a few days yet!

chocolate cake roll / vanilla cake roll ー describe your go-to hairstyle / describe your daily makeup routine

ive had a buzzcut for several years due to chronic pain (the hair strands hurts when it touches my skin and also.. taking care of hair when ur already hurting? soooo much pain) but im going into a new treatment program in january where theyre also going to test some medication, so i decided to grow my hair out and see if the medicine would have an effect!! so rn i have two hair styles! either its just "down" like sachiro from haikyuus! otherwise when i style it with the bangs up and to the side i suppose its more like sakusas!!! there are curls no matter what i do if i dont use a flattening iron! it can be pretty wild to tame sometimes...
