#NO OPTIMISM IS ALLOWED

[zahri-melitor]

Well, in terms of news to wake up to, my DMs being full of people rushing to tell me solicits have a Dinah solo is certainly up there.

So the good thing is that I already know Dinah is cursed and not allowed to have a decent solo that I can recommend to other people by DC, so I don’t have any expectations to raise.

Even if, were I a less cynical person, that premise is right in my wheelhouse of what I’d love to see for Dinah.

But I’m not getting excited, you understand. Even as it sounds like we might finally get Dinah Drake confirmed retconned back to her JSA pre-Flashpoint self, and Ted Grant is in it, and my brain has a dozen directions such a story could go if I were writing it…I am not allowed to have any hopes.

Even without discussing the writer, it’s a Black Canary solo, and Black Canary solos are never anything that I can hand to someone to explain my love for Dinah, so why would DC start now?

On the other hand this will almost certainly not contain Kurt Lance or a white slavery storyline so it’s starting out middle of the pack for a Black Canary solo…

Guys abstragedy has been on the mind non stop. I am Thinking Abiut Them. Hands you guys a small snippet of Something im trying to work on bc my mind is full of zooble thoughts

Zooble's uneven steps were soft, though they could've walked normally and Gangle wouldn't have noticed. Their hands smoothed against her shoulders, holding firm against the jump as her mask twisted to stare at them in startled confusion.

"Zooble? What's wrong?" Their wing flapped. Her shoulders shifted beneath their hands. They felt a little dizzy.

"I just missed you." They said, leaning forward to knock the bottom of their head against the top rim of her mask. "You've been busy all day." And they wanted her attention. They wanted her mismatched eyes solely on them. They wanted to pick her apart like she did them so often.

Their hands slid down to her arms, smoothing the fraying ribbon edges between their fingers. Her shudder was noticed immediately, as was the clear stress and frustration held within her body. "I've gotta make sure this one goes right," She sighed. "This mask - maybe *I* was the problem last time." Oh, so that was the reason.

Spinning her around to face them, Zooble made their discontent clear. Gangle’s expression twisted, guilt colliding with the manic desire to push this all aside and get back to work. They watched as she blatantly avoided their gaze, pupils thinned nervously and darting from corner to corner, scrambling to find something to redirect away from herself.

It was cute. It also hurt to see her so frantic to avoid them. No. Not avoid them. Avoid herself. No wonder she wanted to come back here - it was all work. There was no fun, no personal attachment, no time to think. It wasn’t an escape, she wished to be caged. Rolled into a spool and tucked away so that she couldn’t think about how bad her life was - still is.

Zooble’s antennae twitched as the thoughts clicked into place. For once they were glad to be so observant, their silent thinking paving way towards empathy to a degree the others doubted they were capable of. It was simply easier when it was someone they cared about, someone they didn’t want torn from their grasp.

My mum said, don't book the flight yet in case Ellie randomly dies 😭 I was like, well if Ellie randomly dies I could just come home anyway, it would be fine? And she was like ok... But if she deteriorates rapidly we might have to put her down before you get here, we can't wait for you!!!! and I was like ok that's fine. Why she must always be so extra....

An AU where Fushimi worksas tech support and gets a call from Yata who needs help setting up a home PC (which he wants to put a few new parts on). Yata told his family he could do it himself since they were busy but he actually can't and calls for help. Fushimi gets annoyed by Yata not understanding a thing and Yata thinks the agent is an asshole. Things work out soon enough though and Yata thinks that the other guy is still a jerk but an awesome one. Fushimi pretends not to care for the compliments he's suddenly getting but he's actually happy to hear them.

Yata takes a repair shop partime job later just so every time someone need a computer/laptop to fix he gets an excuse to call Fushimi. Fushimi got used to this but is also baffled at how he keeps getting Yata's calls when there's many of them working there (his boss, Munakata, saw the initial call with Yata and thinks it's good for Fushimi to keep talking to this guy and has the calls redirected somehow).

Isn’t it cheating to work at a repair shop and just call tech support every time XD Imagine Fushimi as the grumpy tech support worker though, day in and day out trying not to swear at idiots for not realizing they just need to turn the computer on and off again, and his annoying boss always giving him ‘helpful’ lectures on how to use his customer service voice. One day he gets a call from a frantic person named ‘Yata Misaki,’ who he initially assumes from the name on the caller ID is a girl until he picks up the phone and hears the frantic voice of some idiot guy who can’t figure out how to put a computer together. Yata recently got a new computer, maybe he’s taking like some community college courses or something for trade school and he needs to have a computer but his family doesn’t have a lot of money so their only computer is an old family one. Yata’s mom decided to surprise him, since Yata wanted a specialized computer she received some help from the local electronics shop and bought stuff to build a PC. Yata couldn’t bring himself to tell her that he didn’t know what to do with it so he claimed that he could totally set this up on his own. His parents were taking his siblings to see family for the weekend and Yata decided to stay home, letting them know it’s fine he’ll have this all set up before they get back. Yata’s already getting a big head and thinking maybe he’ll add some cool extras to the computer so he can play video games and stuff, and then ten minutes later he’s surrounded by cords and pieces and has no idea what he’s doing.

Fushimi of course just listens to Yata’s frantic explanation with dead fish eyes, thinking oh great another moron who thought this was easy. He’s being all condescending to Yata but imagine Yata is like totally missing it, like Fushimi makes some sarcastic comment like ‘if the cord doesn’t fit into the socket did you try knotting it into a peace sign first and then retrying’ and Yata actually tries it. Fushimi can’t help but laugh at what an idiot this guy is, Yata gets pissed off because you’re supposed to help me not make fun of me. Yata wonders if he should just hang up and call back but imagine between arguing and teasing Fushimi does in fact help Yata set up the PC correctly, and Yata’s attitude goes from ‘what a jerk’ to ‘wow, this tech support guy Saruhiko is super cool!’. Fushimi is not used to being praised by his customers, usually they just hang up without a word once things are fixed, so Yata’s effusive honest praise is absolutely a new thing for him though the only response he can give is a tongue click and a grumbled ‘you can hang up if it’s fixed then, I have other callers.’ Afterward imagine his coworkers noting that it seems like for once Fushimi-san had a great client, he seems pretty happy, and Fushimi adamantly denies that he enjoyed any part of that interaction. Meanwhile Yata thinks that guy was a jerk but wow did he know what he was doing and he explained everything so thoroughly, Yata’s really proud that he was able to set up his computer and even put in the cool add ons that he wanted. 

Some time after this Yata takes a part time job at Homra Computer Repairs, he’s assured that he can just help work the desk or do leg work bringing in deliveries and parts and such so it’s fine that he doesn’t know about computers. Except one day someone brings in a computer when Yata happens to be the only one there and the customer is insistent that this is an emergency, they need the computer fixed now and can’t Yata just look at it. Yata panics a little but says he just needs to, uh, take this into the back and run some tests. He scrambles to the back room and quickly calls that tech support line that was so helpful, and how lucky that he should happen to get Saruhiko again. Fushimi answers the phone with a ‘you again, huh? Did you break the computer already?’. Yata’s like how’d you remember me that was months ago but then remembers he’s got a customer waiting outside and starts asking Fushimi’s help with fixing the computer. Fushimi is able to at least get the idea that Yata’s trying to fix someone else’s machine and that the owner doesn’t know he just called tech support, which Fushimi finds highly amusing and he definitely strings Yata along for a bit with it. Finally he does manage to diagnose and solve the problem and Yata is so thrilled, telling Fushimi again how amazing he is and he totally saved Yata’s life. Fushimi clicks his tongue but his face feels warm and he probably hangs up first because he can’t understand why this idiot on the phone is making his stomach flutter.

After this Yata will call periodically for help, mostly when no one else is in the shop but occasionally when one of the other guys who doesn’t do tech stuff is there with him and they note that Yata’s on pretty good terms with the tech support guy. Yata does think it’s wild that he always gets Saruhiko and doesn’t know what he would do if he got someone else, like what if the other support guys aren’t as cool and smart as Saruhiko is. Meanwhile Munakata has made a note that all calls from ‘Yata Misaki’ should be sent to Fushimi since Fushimi-kun has built such a good rapport with him, which Fushimi vehemently denies. One day Munakata pulls Fushimi aside for an on-site job, the repair store that’s on the first floor of their office building needs some assistance with a particularly difficult computer issue. Usually Munakata or Awashima handle these but Munakata thinks Fushimi’s talents would be best for this — he has surely passed by the storefront of Homra Computer Repairs before, there should be a red-headed worker behind the counter who will be able to provide him the details.

first female loz director and the gerudo seem to be written fine enough? wow... there ain't no way I thought we were in the worst timeline after totk

Yeah got through the main quest with the gerudo, it wasn't painful! It wasn't even bad! Still got them outfits but for the most part it was like oh cool!

I would say a lot of that oh cool is from the fact they didn't do a lot to even fuck it up to begin with, I'm gonna be real with yall this game is NOT worth $60USD

Edit: lemme say one thing, you know when people were being like damn totk story wasn't dark or mature at all why was this compared to Majora's mask again? And then all the zeldatwt people came out and said zelda is just a kid series domt expect good writing uH

This one feels like a kid's game. That ain't to say it's terrible I would say, hell I'm not far in it if I get something crazy that's like OH FUCK I'll reblog this post and say something but uh.....game for babies I'm gonna be shocked if anyone struggles with any puzzles cuz you CAN CHEESE THEM EASY ITS 🫢🤭

EDIT EDIT: I SWEAR IM NOT EVEN TRYING TO BE A DOWNER..... @ezlo-x HAS BEEN THERE THE WHOLE TIME IVE BEEN PLAYING....THEY KNOW I HAVENT BEEN A PARTY POOPER.....

I have finally finally finally decided on a story for my deponia s/i and it's basically gonna be Cletus being besties with him before the story and being there for him post-story because she's the only person (aside from Goal) who can tell that's Cletus in Rufus' outfit (not to mention Kristen is the only one who actually missed Cletus) And then they have to live on deponia together where Cletus' knowledge of the planet and Kristen's enthusiasm let them thrive together ❤️

Also snuggles 💗

God, for as much as I have issues with the way Thrawn is written in the Ahsoka series, that one scene in episode 6 where Morgan Elsbeth questions Thrawn after he gives Enoch orders to send two attack squadrons to support Baylan Skoll is hands down the FUNNIEST moment in the entire show because the LOOK this man gives her????? Girl, you're in danger!!!

Like he deadass sideeyes this woman in complete and utter silence without moving a single muscle for like five whole seconds with an expression that screams, "I could kill you with a toothpick," like my mans is clearly going through the five stages of grief simultaneously and I gotta commend him on the self restraint because you just KNOW in those few seconds he is wondering if he can get away with snapping her neck and still get back to the right galaxy
