Please understand that when I say I grab you, I don’t mean grabbing your face or arm thats rude and creepy please don’t do that to anyone

When I say I grab you I’m saying it like I’m grabbing you like a potato. It’s my way of saying hey I appreciate and respect you let’s be friends

Annabeth and Jason’s backstory’s are 100% mirrors of each other’s and I wish they did more with that.

Like Jason’s backstory is supposed to be a foil of Percy’s (Jason is what would’ve happened to Percy if Sally just dropped him off at camp or if he became a year rounder), but it ends up being incredibly similar to Annabeth’s

Both Jason and Annabeth were neglected by their mortal parent, both were at their respective camps way younger than normal, they both are essentially leaders of their camps, and they even share the same older sister

But where Annabeth wanted nothing more than a call to adventure it was thrust upon Jason, where Annabeth’s fatal flaw is hubris, overconfidence, Jason’s is the tendency to deliberate, under-confidence. There’s just so much you can do with them

forever impressed with how new vegas fan artists manage to make characters look something akin to greek statues in terms of attractiveness meanwhile in game they look like this:

there's a correct answer but i will first and foremost always encourage propaganda

Just a kindly reminder that, this sequence exists in the official Witcher game youtube channel for their modding kit, and that it is the most replayed moment of the video 😏. Followed by Roach on a roof top 😅.

Geraskier with fruity Jaskier is always there.

Bonus : Witcher!Jaskier AU.

Since she has now flown off I am obligated to post the order of potato fairy extra large that I looked after for several days. Aka a gloriously chumby Polyphemus moth— the second one I’ve seen alive in over a decade— that decided to hang around our porch for most of its adult life. I saw the first live one on the same day, but he flew away when I tried to get close. But still, that’s a great sign that their population in my area is finally starting to recover! Anyways, here’s the wonderful big little creacher where I found her, which should probably make it clear as to why I moved her. Ants don’t mess around and I wasn’t gonna just leave her inches away from danger.

I was pretty glad I did, as even after her wings were fully dried and extended and everything she couldn’t actually take off. See: her first “flight”.

Big fan of the loud impact PLAP sound, really added to the already very good demonstration of gravity. Worry not, she was totally fine afterwards. Here she is that night and the day after! Very cute and fuzzy, 1000/10.

The next day I thought she had flown off, but then the day after that she was back on the porch! I could tell she was the same one because of her damaged antenna. She started laying eggs on the house and I realized that wasn’t going to be good for the caterpillars that might hatch, since it was a relatively long distance to any host plants even without including the vertical climb to reach branches of leaves. Since she clearly felt safe where she was, and I was also worried about ants and birds and possible insecticides, I ended up making a little “baby box” for her out of a thoroughly rinsed plastic container that initially held salted honey-roasted peanuts. I gave her a stick to hold on to which also gave her a route to climb out of the box if she wished, and provided various fresh oak leaves to lay her eggs on. Figured it would be a good setup because I could easily move it to a safe place once she was done, and keep an eye on the eggs until they hatched. I might even try to raise a few caterpillars if the eggs are fertile. However, during the process of me setting that whole deal up, she decided I looked like a good egg laying spot.

You can see the “glue” that sticks the eggs to surfaces! It was cool to see up close: she’d lay an egg, wait for it to dry, and then lay the next right by it. She ended up sticking four on me before I was able to gently nudge her to the egg laying box. The stick was eventually deemed an acceptable substitute, and over night she… made an egg stalactite of sorts on it? Very weird, I think, I dunno; most of what I read online said their eggs would be laid in spread out clusters of two to three on suitable host plants. I know it wasn’t because she couldn’t get out, as when I went to check on her she had already made her way to the top of the stick and was hanging off of it outside the box. I didn’t think to take a picture of that as I needed to drive to college, but source: dude trust me. Here’s a picture of the egg sculpture I took when I got home.

When I was done with that I went to move her off the porch where she had been staying safe for the last 5 or so days to the more wooded area of the yard, but she ended up flying off to the treetops on her own after I brought her into the open. I guess laying a bunch of eggs made her finally light enough to fly. Maybe she was feeling upset at me for not being able to pay child support and making her lay her eggs on a stick instead? Or she was just doing normal moth things or whatever. It was bittersweet to watch her go, but I’m glad she had the chance to soar the skies at least once before her time was up.

"Wedding this! Wedding that!", Yeah that's cool. Um.

Milo finding a severely injured, nearly dead sweetheart bleeding out and runs to Colm practically begging for his help because Marie's not around to heal them. Milo is so desprate that when most of the healing is done, he just... slams into Colm's arms and cries. Milo hasn't let Colm hug him in years. His little boy is letting him, hug him again. And for a second. Just a second. It is all okay again. No department, no gambling problem, no constant fighting or moving. It's just Colm and his son hugging. Like they used to. And God, he wants the feeling to last forever.

And then Sweetheart wakes up, and Milo and them make out the end.

you know what would be funny? if arthur wore glasses precanon. and when he got possessed by john after opening the book his glasses fell to the floor and they never picked them up. so john is fully convinced that its normal to see in 144p.

Istg I love being a multishipper. I just get to have my cakes and eat them too every single time!!! For example:

Tar4 in the classic era of SMG4. They’re both a little awkward and shy with SMG4 trying to rizz up Tari and failing in the most pathetic way, but she finds it cute. They’re both bi messes and really like eachother! However, after a while, they realise that they’re better off as friends and end things amicably.

After this, SMG4 starts to explore his bisexuality a little more with Mario who has always implied that he’s into him. They have a fwb type of thing going on and sometimes peach would get involved too bc those three definitely had something going on. After a while, things sizzle out and they all go back to just being friends.

A few years later, YouTube arc, SMG3 is flirtatious with Mario, who doesn’t reject his advances. They probably sleep together once or twice but never speak of it.

Give it a few years and SMG4 has a little crush on Melony. Who can blame him? She’s adorable as hell, really enthusiastic and sweet. After his first redesign, Melony thinks he’s pretty cute as well and they go out on a few dates but probably never become official.

Then, it’s gotta be perfect happens and it’s just SMG34 galore. Mario occasionally gets involved too, especially around WOTFI 2023 and all three of them have something going on. Eventually he moved on to Puzzles though, Tari is with Meggy after she finally got over Desti, Melony with Saiko, SMG3 with SMG4, and they all live happily ever after!

A few months ago before Western Spaghetti however, Wren and Mr Puzzles had some sort of fwb arrangement. It was meaningless to Puzzles but Wren had always hinted to him that he wanted something more from their relationship. Alas, he died before he could ever get that and then, in the afterlife, he ran into Niles. They bonded over their shared experiences:

And in the end, decided to play Wren’s twisted Western Shootout game for all eternity against one another. Finally having an opponent who could give them a challenge and under them. They get together after a few months but continue to kill eachother most days for all eternity. And they love it.

Anyway, that’s my ship rant. I LOVE SHIPPING, RAREPAIRS AND MULTISHIPPING! IF ANYONE ELSE WANTS TO ADD TO THIS FEEL FREE TO!!
