Just losing myself in the idea of bookshop owner!reader and tangerine. fem!reader; hella cursing; mentions of terminal illness; tan being an angsty boy; possible I might continue this little ditty 🌻🐝 (p.s. taking requests till dec 31)
Tangerine’s not quite feeling himself.
He’s really going through it and slips out of the rain into the first used bookshop he sees. He’s in New York and has never been in this one before, but he likes the way there’s candles burning, even if the first thought he has is “some fuckin’ insurance adjustor prick’s worst fuckin’ nightmare.”
They’ve got a job that night, he and Lemon, and for the first time ever Tangerine is having doubts about the morality of it all. Fuckin’ Tokyo changed him. Made him soft, he thinks, or maybe made him smart. Made him want to get out of the game, he thinks, but what else is there for a bloke like him? A wife? (She’d have to be a bloody saint to deal with the likes of him). Kids? (Little nippers would drive him crazy, he’s certain). A dog? (…actually, that sounded quite nice so long as he’d never have to go John Wick on any bloke, because he wouldn’t hesitate).
For now, Tangerine reasons, he’ll just have to settle on a book.
And he’s idly moving along the shelves, impressed by the small collection of first edition Dickinson and Emerson titles that have been amassed, his fingers hovering reverently over their spines.
Until he sees you—a sweet-looking thing in a floral get-up that’s garishly at odds with the shite weather outdoors, but for some reason he likes it. Even if his first thought, as he watches you reach to replace something on a shelf over your head, is that your hemline might sneak up just a little further, on accident of course, and he might catch a further glimpse of your thighs.
But you bustle away before he can be a lech and as if you haven’t seen him at all.
And so he’s left there with Emily and Ralph and, he notices now, Langston—whom he pulls from the shelf, dust unsettling to dance in the air around him.
Something catches in his chest, then, because he remembers how he first knicked a copy of Hughes’s collected works for the foster mum he and Lemon had lived with when they were twelve. She’d loved poetry—was the closest thing they’d ever had to family besides each other—with her lilting accent and her deep brown eyes. But shit never lasts. Seven months in and she’d sat them down. Told them about that bullshit diagnosis that gave her three more months, tops, and they knew, faces stoic and unmoving even at that tender age, that they’d be shuffled to somewhere else.
In a moment of forgetting himself—or perhaps in a moment of absolute indulgence to his real and baser self—Tangerine slips the book into the front of his suit jacket. Easy doing. He doesn’t rush out, confident in his theft, taking the time to browse a little while longer before he strolls to the front of the shop to leave.
It’s still piss pouring out there and he scoops up the umbrella he left at the door, about to open it when a soft, tentative voice interrupts.
“Sir?”
He should just keep walking. Just step out into the bloody hurricane and disappear into the crowd. But instead, he turns.
And then he’s face-to-face with you.
And there’s something glinting in your eye—some spark of really seeing—that’s a little unnerving coming from someone wearing such a goddamn sunny dress.
And he knows he’s right and truly fucked.

makes me a little sad when star trek ignores IDIC. like. vulcans are logical. that is true. But 'logical', for vulcans, does not amount to 'without compassion,' and it definitely doesn't amount to 'racial superiority.' Belief in 'infinite diversity in infinite combinations' should NOT result in the weird racist/speciest stuff we're getting in some of the newer treks. It does make sense that some vulcans are discriminatory. They're still flawed. But that should not be common or expected, like it seems to be in SNW. If it is, then it's a race of hypocrites, which. doesn't seem very true to Star Trek's message.
I think TOS Spock does a pretty good job of embodying this. Not always, it was the 60s, after all, but mostly. He was often trying to find non-violent routes, and get by without killing - even if they were in danger or had already been attacked. (See: the mugato, and the horta (until Kirk was the one in danger, lmao. t'hy'la > IDIC), the Gorn ship). Kirk, in his eulogy, calls him the most human soul he's ever known, and I've always read that as Kirk calling out Spock's overwhelming compassion.
It's just so much more interesting when Vulcans get to be radically compassionate. I want them to believe that everything and everyone has value. I want them to respect all ways of being. I want them to find ways for even very non-humanoid aliens to exist unfettered in society. I want them to see hybrids and think that it's amazing. Also, like, disability rep. I want Vulcans to have The Most Accessible Planet and available resources because they want everyone to feel accepted and valued. It makes for better characters and more interesting stories.
#tbh feels like some weird racist/misogynistic enlightenment-era philosophy coming through when they do that. y'know?#like 'oooh if you're fully logical you're BETTER than those who have EMOTIONS like WOMEN do'.#and the paramount execs are eating it up like 'yesss logic means being an ASS to people LESS LOGICAL than you!'.#like really guys. c'mon#like it makes sense in TAS that spock would get bullied by some kids. kids bully. that's common. makes sense that even vulcan kids bully#but if ADULTS are OFTEN doubting spock because he's half-human? that just kinda sucks. if i may it's even illogical#IDIC for me but not for thee type thing.#i think that being discriminatory should be a source of shame on a vulcan's house.#i think vulcans should adore learning about other cultures#star trek#vulcan#star trek vulcan#vulcans#vulcan culture#spock#star trek tos#tos#star trek the original series#sorry for my lack of mention of other major vulcan characters. I am so so behind in my star trek watching.#from what i've heard tuvok is also a good example. i know next to nothing about t'pol so couldn't say for her.

the thing abt cherik is that mags is convinced that if he isn't vigilant charles is going to fucking re-wire his brain into a toaster and because of it he perceives every positive emotion he feels towards charles as proof charles has meddled with his mind. "he made me trust him, by messing with my mind with his psionic powers!" which, no, he didn't. except for the times he did. but no he didn't. except when he did
#'oooh mags wears the helmet bc if he didn't he would feel the love' no mags wears the helmet because he is reasonably scared#charles is going to perform psionic lobotomy on him. much like he did in xmen fatal attraction.#some newer fans need to get up on the charles and ethics of telepathy lore. tbh#xmen#cherik#magneto#charles xavier#cherick#erik lensherr

I ran across this old draft of a PI Spinner au and I might never finish it, so I'm posting what I had
#shuichi iguchi#shigaraki tomura#mha spinner#you can tell its all rough because of my notes ;)#alt has dialogue#and of course it was an eventual spinaraki au#spinaraki#my thoughts was something along the lines of spinner getting good at not attracting info and ppl's bias towards obvious heteromorphs#means that other people dont want to pay attention to spinner and if he works at night! thats another layer of secrecy or whatever#(i dont remember a lot of the reasoning i had tbh its been a couple years)#i have so many unfinished sketches of these two#oooh! i was doing the alt text and i remembered how - if spinner wore a face mask with his hood up - that would almost perfectly hide his#face#i *think* the first two were the initial idea drawings???? but i dont know since i drew it all in one file#mha jbee

Uh I've had this piece for a while and never posted it but here is a like reference(?) sheet for Orange Juice
(only for his Mario Simulator and Avatar Peach design though)
Oh and SPOILERS for my Joke Mario Simulator fanfic
#smg4#orange juice (oc)#avatar peach au#becaue I guess he's canon to my serious stuff now#btw he's being destroyed by the world because he doesn't belong there and has been there for too long#his story in avatar peach though is so minor and less silly and goofy that it's not enough worth talking about on my main tbh#(mainly because I haven't thought much about that plot story other than oooh cultists eating bad mushrooms oooh)#mario Simulator official tag

If Discord was conscious while imprisoned in stone, could he sleep, in a way?
If so, could Luna visit him in his dreams? Would she?
#thats if discord even dreamt ofc#im thinking what ifs#what if luna did visit him? while he slept in his stone prison.#he could've been a little less lonely#luna could've vented about her jealousy. her anger.#what if they became friends. somehow.#what if she only visits him after she's back. after the mane six defeat nightmare moon#and they bond over that?#only for Discord to turn against her (technically?) when he breaks free#ajjajfjasjka#Discord my beloved spirit of chaos#Oooh what if Luna didn't visit him at all? but he knew she could.#would be upset? or would he understand.#tbh both probably. before and after he's reformed#mlp discord#mlp luna#my little pony friendship is magic#mlp g4#typing out loud#Disocrd and Luna Edition#i think they'd have The Sibling Relationship Ever lol#the annoying older brother and the younger sister who is This Close to strangling him at all times#im entering my mlp era again 😔 im being consumed /pos

totk really is one of those games that make me go "ok thanks for the characters, setting, and general plot, but ill take it from here <3" because the entire historical timeline had so much potential for interesting and nuanced story telling but they just went with the old zelda story formula and YES thats how theyve always done it but botw was such a reset in terms of gameplay that they couldve overhauled how they handle story in totk. but they didnt
#ramblings#all the races swearing fealty to rauru made me so uncomfortable#like yeahhh ganondorf evil or whatever but also. hey. why is the one leader fighting for the independence of his people. the evil villain#am i just not getting something here am i insane#my first thought when i heard about ganondorf returning was 'wow they could turn him into an actual character' AND THEN THEY DIDNT#its been half a year i feel like the honeymoon period is over. totk was kinda mid. im sorry#it was alright but it just. didnt grab me. at all#botw was interesting because it was new but totk made me yearn for the older zelda formula#though tbh. im always yearning for the older zelda formula. i grew up on oot & twilight princess#you hype up ganondorf so much you make him look like THAT (no im still not over this) and then you just. do what weve always done#this happened in twilight princess. it happened in oot. it happened in ww. hell if you count demise it happened in skyward sword#IT HAPPENE.D IN THE FUCKING HYRULD WARRIORS SPINOFF#'oooh noooo the great evil has returned' WEVE BEEN HERE EVERY TIME. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH POTENTIAL#heres the gerudo having a man born and making him king as is their custom but they spend years in fear that he will be monstrous#here they are after all these iterations of ganondorf afraid to even have kids out of fear that SOMEONE will bring the new great evil#heres a child recently given the throne despite being barely more than a baby always treated with fear by everyone around him#ARE YOU SEEING MY VISION????#the curse is right there. do something with it. oh my god#i KNOW zelda games are just simple heros journeys but pleaseeee i need food#you dont have to make ganondorf nice just. do something with him im so tired of the evil guy caricature#i like guys who are plain evil but i like them more when they have some fucked up motivation beyond taking over the world

This is all because someone said that tim being wealthy DOES impact his character. Like the ppl in the screenshot are defending the idea that tim should be written as middle class and even claimed that plot points about/made possible or exacerbated by his wealth have nothing to do with his characterization bc they’re plot points and not character traits. They also previously said there’s little to no mention of his wealth whilst also trying to say his wealth doesn’t matter because it’s just “new money” (which I’d argue adds a LOT of context to the drakes vs the Waynes but that’s into analysis territory and I’m not getting into with someone who said plot points don’t impact the character 💀)
Anyways the main point of the post isn’t just to clown on them I just want y’all to take that final tweet into account; “They come and take only what they want, they don’t like to delve into the great character that is Tim.” On a post saying Tim being rich doesn’t matter and has nothing to do with his character. Tim Stans I’m not saying this is all of you, but this group of y’all is sooooo. Let’s be nice and say weird. That it makes y’all look bad. When they’re saying “they pick and choose to ignore his character” in order to defend picking and choosing to ignore his character…have a group meeting or smth yall. This is crazy.
#this lowk made me appreciate tumblr tim stans#like Ik y’all wouldn’t say shit like this God Bless#dc should rewrite tim as middle class 💀#just say you have 0 understanding of why certain details were added to Tim’s character post Jason Todd#and like even if you think it has nothing to do from an in comic standpoint#are u gonna sit there and tell me his being rich doesn’t impact his writers at all? his fans at all?#the way tim has been so accepted and subsequently flanderized (not even flanderized bc some of the traits y’all boil him down to are traits#he doesn’t have) has a lot to do with him being a rich white teen#and i specify teen because the way y’all baby him has to do with his class and race#y’all make it so when you say ‘he’s socially anxious bc he was so secluded at home 🥺🥺🥺’#and tbh let’s get down to it this is another way for y’all to make him ‘special’ or more likeable without thinking about it#if you think his wealth hasn’t impacted his character why do you want him to be middle class so bad? y’all just wanna relate more#it’s like when u hc him as a poc but refuse to acknowledge that him being white may impact his character#like u don’t know shit and I don’t trust u with subjects like race or class#back to the drawing board sweetheart#im not even tagging this anti tim Drake this is just who he is lmao#anti tim Drake Twitter fans#anti Thomas and Kyle#OH and the “why Is him being rich relevant’ you don’t even know how plot points impact character you wouldn’t know#OOOH and if you mention how it might’ve impacted Bruce’s view of him they’ll call it fanon#like no thats just point A to point B#to be fair they’d prolly call Tim’s mistreatment of Steph being misogyny fanon too#craaaazy#nothing is real it all exists in a void where social issues don’t exist#Ur so so smart

I dreamt about link click again. and this time it was cheng xiaoshi having to relive lu guang's death over and over. he was stuck mourning inside a memory that would never go on, a photo showing a particular moment in time that could only replay itself, start over.
he held lu guang in his arms and he was unresponsive. his eyes were open. there was a halo of blood around him, on the floor, like he was some kind of fucked up angel. it was very dark outside. all of the light had been sucked out of the room. the faint glow of moonlight coming in through the window wasn't reassuring, but cruel. I could hear the soles of cheng xiaoshi's shoes slipping on the blood covered floor as he tried to stop himself from falling. he was scared of the dark, and yet there he was, scared and alone.
he wasn't supposed to be reliving this situation, he wasn't supposed to dive. but he wasn't aware of this, because nobody had ever told him that things could ever be different. there was, apparently, something very wrong with the way he'd been diving into pictures so far, and as a result it had taken a huge toll on his mental health. but nobody had realised until now. he could potentially live a long life without having these nightmares, but he'd never been offered a way out, so there he was, stuck.
#I'm guessing the answer was antidepressants???????????? but I woke up before I could know for sure#it was just that realization of 'oooh. so this isn't how it's supposed to feel? people don't live like this?'#link click#tw blood#tw character death#not me getting better after taking antidepressants and thinking “hmm. cheng xiaoshi could benefit from this tbh”#BUT THE THING IS. LISTEN. HE WOULD
