#Need some levity rn

[contrastparadoxx]

Y’all don’t even know about this crack ship

[candyriku]

finally getting a chance to work on chapter 15 today :-)

[rhpsdys]

                   you’re on your back on the couch / half - asleep, exhausted / you cannot afford to rest more than a few minutes now / so you pluck at the strings of your violin ;   / no matter how hard you try / it won’t quite tune / must be the weather / or something in the air.

a rustling sound outside draws your attention to the door / && you stand with a groan / the ache in your bones far more pronounced / than you’ve noticed ‘til now. / what greets you is unexpected ;   the wariness / in your eyes as you look him up && down / does not fully diminish / but there is acceptance there as well. 

He brought them a dead mouse in thanks for keeping its secret . Cue happy harpy noises    ( @cardinalhope​ )

you hold out your hands / to accept the offering / ( ignoring the way your nose wrinkles at the smell ) / this is your communion / the breaking of bread / && you smile at him / the soft warmth of acceptance / as your fingers ghost over red feathers / then retract. / you whistle again, an utterance / of gratitude / with an incline of your head. / better it be mice / than the alternative.

UNPROMPTED.

"Safe? Safe has got nothing to do with this, you shouldn't be doing anything like this especially not under our roof." "Oh, like you didn't do it?"

ASJDHAJSK NOT MARTHA'S FACE-

and that's why she's my bestie

"You know, when you start rambling about spaceships and aliens people kind of look at you funny." "They must not have the same faith in you that I do."

Lex are you serious rn?💀💀 I'm sorry but no.

(to my mutuals who ship them, please pretend you don't see my distaste ily <3)

"The life force that has been returned to you will soon be taken from someone you love. You're about to face your darkest hour, my son."

thanks, I hate it

"But remember, the lessons that we learn from pain are the ones that make us the strongest."

wrong you absolute dumbass, this is actually going to hold Clark back until the absolute last season of this show so congratulations

"I'm not human anymore."

bb you never were😭😭😭

Also please tell me Clark and Lana have more than two happy episodes together???? I have this one gif that I feel like I'm going to use it a lot for them💀

"However he swept it under the rug, a normal person doesn't rise from the dead."

LEXXXXX😭

I need Lionel to stay away from Lex at all times please

WELL if you don't remember what happened to you Lionel, we could always hook you up to those same machines that you used to mess with Lex's memory a few seasons back😌

(actually pls don't even though that would be kind of funny)

"I do have one confession. I really liked being the only one who knew all about... you know, you."

...uhm

THERE IS A BUT THANK GOD (because if there wasn't I would've had some things to say)

"But if you honestly believe that you can stay with Lana and not tell her I think you're seriously kidding yourself."

Yeah, it's one thing to keep stuff from your friends but when they're at this level of intimacy she definitely has more of a right to know🤷🏻‍♀️

"I don't have a choice. I can't expect her to react like you did."

UHMMMM...

You know what, no. I'm not even gonna say anything except CLARK DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF RN????

"Why didn't I listen to him?"

*BIG SIGH*

Lois pls come back and bring the levity with you, I really need it.

NAME:

Fishee/Fishes

PRONOUNS:

she/her

MOST ACTIVE MUSE(S)?

Just Cotesia atm

RP PET PEEVES?

Not particularly any I can think of – I like to keep things collaborative and open. Writing fights tends to stress me out more than annoy me just because I never want to be in a place where either my muse gets treated poorly or I treat someone else’s that way unintentionally (eg power gaming or similar). I think lots of issues can get resolved ahead of time by discussing the major plot beats.

Again, less of a peeve and more of a stress thang but sometimes when a thread fizzles out I feel a bit bad ;;

EXPERIENCE / HOW MANY YEARS?

Hm well I used to RP on a game called Blockland in the ~Dark Ages~, then I moved to tumblr with my first dark souls and bloodborne blogs (moreso bb, my ds one never especially took off as I kinda missed the boat). I think I stopped about 2017? and just restarted like,, last month? So in total maybe something like 7 or so years.

FLUFF, ANGST, OR SMUT?

I’m not really sure! Cotesia lends herself to being somewhat angsty at times. In past it was definitely more angst. TBH I like my rping like I like most of my writing, giving levity where its needed and reflecting on tragedy otherwise. And violence. Smut I’m kinda *shrug* about, I haven’t done it but I’m not opposed either, but Cotesia is not really the muse for it atm. I actually haven’t decided how she feels about sex...

PLOTS OR MEMES?

I prefer to plot out but memes are really good with coming up with ideas, or getting me to think about things I haven’t thought of before. Memes are better for short interactions too, which can be nice for fleshing out little things.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES?

Usually long! I try to match substantively but there are some times where a short, direct reply, is perfect.

TIME TO WRITE?

I’m unemployed rn so you may have noticed its any time I’m awake but usually closer to midday/afternoon/evening. I like to think ahead of time so usually come around to writing/editing my reply later.

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S)?

Maybe? Everyone puts a little of themselves into the things they make. I think Cotesia reflects some negative qualities of mine—eg being Really Intense at times, flipping between being patient/kind and then being uncontrollably angry, also just general alienation/isolation. But she has good qualities too—she cares for Millicent so much that leads her to eventually allowing Millicent to die the way she wants to, healing a little bit of Cotesia’s wounds wrt Malenia. Cotesia’s unabashedly curious, and she’s confident and thoughtful. Also much of her notions about the True Nature of Rot TM is with regards to my own studies in ecology, which I think is just fun.

tagged by: @necrophcge Thank you!!

tagging: I believe everyone’s been tagged already lol, but feel free to swipe this if you haven’t already

[erismourn]

i really do think that nimbus as a character is what destiny needs rn. like we didn’t need a snarky happy character to replace cayde immediately after he died for sure. but it’s been a LONG time of SUPER SERIOUS conversations and technobabble and Proper Nouns. we need some levity to break it up. don’t get me wrong, destiny IS a super serious story about the end of the universe as we know it and people are going to die and all that, but as players I think we need a bit of a break from the monotony of “Everything is bad all the time”

[icharchivist]

The fanfic is really making me love Fif a lot more than I thought I would tbh

She's just so cute and precocious and still a whole ass child. She's so naive and straightforward, it's perfect. Also she's literally the light of the group rn, providing some levity while everyone is ready to pounce on each other

She and Tweyen both actually. That's funny

Tweyen is adorable, she's trying so haaaard to make friends

I also adore how Siete and Threo are just Like That. Especially considering that Siete supposedly recruited her in this one. He's got that feral jungle girl on a leash, it's so fun to see, especially when he's still so hostile with everyone else

But the best part is genuinely just seeing how some of the things we discuss here are used as inspiration, because yeah, Feower definitely got hit by that Fated Chain

At least he didn't get drop kicked

There's just so many moments in there that I love, it's really good and funny and tense when it needs to be

I love these pre Eternals, it's so good

TBHHHH. those HCs we make on here and how the fic is working on them make me appreciate all of the Eternals more and more. Fif in particular was such a breath of fresh air during this pure tension of a group. Just too nice, too pure.

I loved her and Tweyen trying to make it work, with Tweyen just recoiling like "oh i'm doing it wrong" while Fif doesn't even have this filter yet so she's just "well no it's the others who are wrong"

also agreed, Siete and Threo relationship is so funny here. A man and his feral coworker. the fact they get along and Siete support her just fighting people because he wishes he could be feral too is so perfect.

BUT YEAH there's definitely another layer if you come from the blog because there's def inspiration from the stuff we discuss here too. I definitely felt the Fated Chain @ Feower and i was howlering. Something just for Us to understand. But hey at least it was just a cancel and not a counter. Thank you Siete for your restrain.

It's genuinely so so good, i love it so much.

who knew we'd have so much fun with Early Eternal Shenanigans.

love lvoe it

throwback scene - stefan and damon high out of their minds

"Damon!" Bonnie snapped, hands flying up in an implied 'what the hell' as she entered the kitchen. He was sprawled in front of the open fridge, surrounded by olives and shattered glass and putting whipped cream on crackers.

"Whaddup my party people," he said, piling a thick swirl of whipped cream onto a soda cracker. "Polly wanna cracker? Oi, Stef, think fast!" He flung the overflowing cracker at Stefan and it made it about three feet before nose-diving into the ground with an unceremonious splat. Stefan lifted his hands to catch it two seconds after it hit the floor.

Caroline's eyes rolled ceiling-ward. "How about we start with thinking at all."

"You want one, Care?"

"Throw that cracker at me and I'll throw your skull out of your head."

"That seems like a no," Damon said thoughtfully. "What about you, Bonster?"

"What'd you do to the olive jar?" she replied, entirely ignoring the question, and Damon scoffed dramatically.

"The question you should be asking is what did the olive jar do to me."

"Actually, the question I should be asking is how the everloving hell did you manage to get Stefan caught up in your general disastrousness?"

Damon rolled his eyes. "He's a big boy, he can think for himself—right, Stefan?"

They all turned to look at the guy in question, who was staring at his hands in wide-eyed amazement. "…so many atoms…"

"See?"

i.e. I read chapter four for the first time in like a year and forgot how outrageous drigh!defan was so I figured I’d remind everyone else.

Need more clef and Cimmerian ugh

S/O takes them out to play in the rain headcanons because its raining rn

With Clef, Cimmerian, Rights, and a person of your choice (bet its konny)

Dr. Clef, Dr. Cimmerian, Dr. Rights, and Dr. Light Playing in the Rain

[GN!Reader]

[Warnings: Like, none?]

[AN: You bet wrong. Where's my $10?]

Dr. Clef

He's the one that drags you out into the rain. He is a sad jaded man hiding behind but he's always loved the rain. It makes him feel a bit sleepy, but kinda secure at the same time.

He will dance with you in the rain. Loves to splash in the puddles, throw away the umbrellas, and exist in the moment with you.

Grabs your face gently and presses kisses to your lips before the two of you spin off and let the droplets shower over you.

I feel the two of you would play tag or something to that effect. It's loads of fun and the two of you laugh so much you're at a loss for breath.

When it's over, the two of you cuddle and drink something warm.

Dr. Cimmerian

Don't think he necessarily plays in the rain but he does like to be out in it.

He'll smile as you grab at his hand and bring him outside. He holds an umbrella, and strolls with you. It's pretty serene and peaceful, just the two of you against the world.

He will sometimes splash in the puddles though. Little hops into them. Kinda cute, kinda quirky. I feel he also likes to tell you little anecdotes from his life as the two of you stroll.

Will dance with you in a much more graceful, less hectic style. It's quite romantic.

The whole thing is romantic, almost like a fairytale. Kiss in the rain to swelling music, the gentle hum of the earth, it's sweet.

Dr. Rights

Chaotic in the rain. Doesn't bring you out first because her hair becomes a bit of a frizzy mess and her curls poof up like those "put this foam turtle in water it'll grow 600x it's size" but like, she loves the rain.

She'd go out with you and start splashing, giggling, spinning you. Her hands are all over you throughout it.

At one point the two of you end up at a playground and kinda slip and slide everywhere. It's a lot of fun, y'know?

Loves to hold your hand and jump in the larger puddles with you. Never really lets you go. Agatha is a bit protective by nature and wants to be near you.

When all is said and done, she's a mother hen, making sure you're dry and whatnot. She does not want you getting sick! Makes some good food, or takes you out for some - her cooking skills are interesting - and spends the rest of the evening doting on you.

Dr. Light

Sophia needs some levity in her life. You can persuade her to go outside but like, I don't think that comes easily. She strikes me as a no nonsense woman.

Going out into the rain with her is quite peaceful, but if you start splashing her it kicks her competitive nature into overdrive. She will absolutely soak you, using your umbrella against you.

She smiles and laughs a lot when she gets splashed by you. Will also dance with you. I don't think she's very good at dancing, but like, she likes to spin and sway with you.

She's kinda one of those "omg we shouldn't be doing this we're people of science and serious-" but like, come on any opportunity to be with you is good in her eyes.

Cuddles with you to warm back up after playing in the rain. Makes you some good hot drink, orders some good food, all of that cute stuff.

choices aesthetics  → lovehacks: book one

[maxbernini]

Ykw only today i started to heal a little but this shirley's message once again made me f mad. There were 2 women 1 of them is lesbian. Ppl trusted them so the damage they made is much more painful. They not only disappointed skam audience who is about "alt er love". but they betrayed lgbt viewers. now we can't trust even the woman from our community. And the target audience are teens and i can't imagine how they're feeling rn even if adults are heartbroken. (1/3)

And when we look back it's clear how they made hints on mayla endgame in their sm and even on officical account with all these "purple is always the warmest color" and posting mayla's happy pictures and liking posts about mayla endgame. Even the whole synopsis of the s9 which was "will Lola come back"!! It's more than cruel and couldn't be excused. They knew everything from the start but intentionally chose this behavior which hurts more in the end. (2/3)

That was certainly A Choice. They could be silent and not encourage the fanbase. And now they're surprised and hurt with feedback? (3/3)

i never trusted them after 7/8, but part of me did think like...is it possible 1/2 of them being queer + maya easily being the most popular main they could pick = they'll put more effort into this, bc it'll be a passion project (something S might've wanted to see herself as a teen), and something they know will draw in more attention, so the quality will be slightly better than the last 2 to impress audiences and critics? and i do think on a technical level, they put more effort into it than 7/8. but things like fancy cinematography and editing and an original soundtrack means literally nothing if the script is shit and this season is so cynically empty; paper thin but wrapped up in a pretty bow.

creator & fandom interactions in general is complex but this absolutely was baiting. i can maaybe accept the “just supporting fans and enjoying the engagement” excuse with liking theories etc, but she literally liked tweets about them being endgame for ten weeks? and like, she joined twitter just for s9. she purposefully created an account to spend ten weeks interacting with fans (even taking their quizzes, even following some, even bantering with them). responsibilities of the writing itself aside, you have a responsibility as a showrunner - and specifically running a show about and for young people - to behave appropriately around them, and encouraging parasocial relationships between you and them isn’t that. and to do all of that and then...get mad when fans talk to you like you’re on their level? no i don’t think people should send death threats but a) you fostered an environment where casual interaction and even quasi-friendship was encouraged, and b) genuine criticism faaaar outweights the threats, and focusing only on the latter whilst deflecting blame and dismissing the former is just. such an obvious tactic lmao.

i think they anticipated anger (they said as much in that interview), but just about the breakup, like it’d only be upset shippers. i genuinely believe that they genuinely believe what they delivered was a satisfying, earned, and well-written ending to maya (and mayla)’s arc, because this is something 7/8 did too: ten weeks of misery interspersed with tiny moments of levity before absolute rock bottom in week 9 followed by a magical fix and sudden happiness. they have zero idea how to balance light vs dark moments and zero awareness of what’s needed to wrap things up successfully, and pacing in general. but like, at least tiff and bilal got what they wanted, no matter how rushed or unearned or badly written (custody, love, a job, friendship, reunited family, accommodation). maya was catatonic on a couch for two days, in the midst of a depressive episode, got hugged once and then suddenly all her trauma vanished and she’s fine despite not getting anything. despite being in almost the exact same place she started in s6 and not really changing even though we’re told she has. and them not seeing why people are mad about that and dismissing it as only shippers just angry...i’m not surprised but it is still forever disappointing lol.

All these anons are weird and corny so here’s an actual query, I have the hag line cap stellium and am Saturn dominant, nd everything online basically says Saturn dominant ppl are born 2 suffer/lvl grind thru life nd I was wondering if u have a less…depressing take on it lol. tbh I don’t even find a lot of trustworthy takes on stelliums and/or planet dominance online so idk if it’s even something to stress abt but I feel like Saturn has been kicking my ass my whole life n I need positivity rn;;;

YOU CAME TO THE RIGHT PERSON~!!!!!!!! literally i haaaaaaaaate the way ppl talk abt saturn its not that depressing. basically saturn dominant ppl are gonna age backwards nd thrive the older they get nd the more uhhhh life experience they acquire? so a lot of Saturn children are super serious but once they bloom into adulthood they will ironically then start to indulge in what makes them happy! saturn isn't actively trying to destroy you or make u suffer she's just trying to get you to change how you're looking at things. LITERALLY just this year i had a major saturian breakthrough nd if you ever have the chance u should read thru liz greene's saturn: a new look on an old devil bc it paints saturn differently. like a lot of the times when we get blocked by life we get frustrated nd can't see that there's something better for us. but here are some of my fave excerpts i think can help u!

but as a saturn dom i think its IMPERITIVE that you

-take life at your own pace bc the ‘live ur best life in your early 20s’ isn’t neccessarily for you. literally you will Never Peak it just keeps getting better.

-start treating yourself softer. you don’t HAVE to hold the whole world on your shoulders alone. its ok to rely on ppl. its ok to take breaks

-find the sweet spot between ‘some suffering in life is bc of things i cannot control nd has no bearing on me’ and ‘sometimes the growth i need will come out of an uncomfortable circumstance’ the point isn’t to identify with our pain but rather to….learn from it. accept it nd heal from it nd become someone that’s wiser from experience but softer from compassion. which i think is another great thing abt saturnesque ppl. like y’all know how to be firm nd get shit done but still with such a competent compassion 🥺 im sorry this ask is so long anyways but to explain my point my mom is a cap moon nd i always wondered if she didnt like our dog much bc she doesnt really pet her but i found out my mom went out of her way to boil dog treats so they’d be soft for my elderly dog to eat nd i think that sums up cap/saturn energy. a practical but not always seen care

-oh and possibly most importantly. do some soul searching nd ask yourself if what you’re struggling for is what you REALLY want in life. nd then ask if you TRULY believe that you deserve it. bc in my experience the times where saturn pushed against me the hardest were times were i was fighting for something i THOUGHT i wanted but i really didn’t. if you’re unaware of something in yourself saturn will beat u over the head until u get it but the process doesn’t have to be miserable you know? the journey of self discovery should be, in the end of the day, full of levity bc it’s a step closer to the idealized self you’re working for.

sorry this is so long i just have a lot of thoughts abt saturn nd ik what its like to have her beat the snot out of u i hope this help pls don’t hesitate for more excerpts, venting, etc i live for this
