#Route 10

[rookflower]

whichever one of us is a person first

[hellspawnmotel]

which route will YOU choose??

[critterbitter]

Did you know route 10 has a history of landslides? I like to think that this route has always been a point of contention within Unova’s pokeleague, especially with such crumbly cliffs so close to their victory road.

(Anyways the Patrat and Pachirisu children find out the hard way about Route 10’s… unfortunate quirks.)

((On the plus side! Behold! A bouffalant calve!))

Masterpost for more pokemon nonsense

I am making the AUs i want to see in the world (it's another swap au. all of them are swap aus)

Shadow's meteor crashes on earth in modern day, right onto the baseball field in Green Hills causing the blackout. Tom investigates, finds this strange memory-less creature, and now suddenly they're on the run from the government and Robotnik. Shadow's conflict comes from the fear that he will hurt Tom, rather than the original movie's conflict of sonic being pissed that Tom was leaving Green Hills.

Sonic's timeline is pushed back 60 years, and he dimension-jumps from Longclaw's death right into Gun's custody. He spends 10 years growing up in the facility with Maria, slowly growing okay with how he's going against Longclaw's wishes of staying hidden - until Maria dies. He's put in stasis for 50 years and wakes up feeling like everyone he gets close to dies, so he decides to go back to the Dimension Jumping plan, but Gerald gets him to help with his Ark plan before he leaves.

Temporary lives will depart so that the eternal lives will be reborn. Go now, my boy. You are no mystic after all.

new desk setup bc I was so so bored of the old one that I just started to forgo working with the 2nd screen just to be able to do things somewhere else & not at the desk (aka things have been way slower than they should)

i love revachol. it's post-urss estonia. it's not estonia. it's france. it's not france. it's martinique. it's not martinique. it's dying - it has been dead a long time - yet its people are still fighting to keep it going.

heyyyyyyy I made a bunch of corny Valentine's Day drawings of the gems

This took me a long time, and my hand and back hurt now, but I had a lot of fun :]

people admire how doyle was so well learned in the streets of london. when in actuality he fucks up like 50% of the time.

Tbh if you really want to know what’s been living rent free in my head: it’s a needy, hungry Jude. Seriously, I just keep replaying MLE 24 premium in my head over and over.

The way he’s practically begging asking Kate to beg him for more and the way he wants more of her….ughhhh. The way he just released all his tension and bound himself to her in that scene. I can just imagine his ragged, husky breathing as he whispered those words in her ear, and I just melt.

Part 9

Part 11

[ataleofcrowns]

a little spoiler for ch.10

I knew that some people would be mad at X but personally I feel bad for that farm boy 😔

I know he shouldn't have expected more from X and he let his lil delulu get over him , but I still feel little bad for him. Bro just wanted some love 😭 ( I know at least 3 girls like him)

#deluluisnotsolulu 😔✊

He absolutely had a case of selective hearing when X stated in advance that this was a strictly no strings attached tryst lol. Thought he could convince X otherwise, but unfortunately for him his game was NOT there, to put it politely 🙈

A bit of skill in observation would have also told him that X was fucked up over a certain someone else so he never had a chance, but alas...

Also, let's be honest, the people that are mad at X are way more delusional than the farmer guy. At least the farmer guy got laid. The Crown on the other hand hasn't even gotten a kiss from X yet at that point, yet somehow these people think X is in a committed relationship with their Crown and that X "cheated"? Yeah, no, that's not how that works 💀

For the au ask game

What do you think would happen if damian got a crush on dick and a good while after he proposed to dick in front of the 'bat-fam', they weren't dating so obviously dick is surprised but do you think they'd get together, how would the rest react?

for the ask game!

oooh, this is fun, bc there are a lot of directions to take it, how i think i'd write it tho is-

Damian would wait until he's an adult. he knows that's when it becomes Permissible to court Dick publically. everyone's always sort of known that Damian had a childhood crush but hey, he can join the club, most of them have gone through it at some point. no one says anything, bc they assume Damian will grow out of it, and even assume he has, by the time he's an adult. maybe he's dated and had brief flings that never worked out. no one realizes how *planned out* this is for Damian. he's in it for the long haul, having distractions thrown up to throw everyone off his scent. silently sabotaging Dick's relationships in ways no one even realizes, especially not Dick. Damian has been waiting for this, and he plans to do it the way he's been raised: romance is a lifetime bond that cannot be severed, and thus, it includes marriage. i like the idea that no one *told* Damian this explicitly, but how his mother taught him about love and how he sees Western relationships naturally led him to this assumption.

when Damian properly proposes, i think everyone would be so baffled, Dick included, that it'd come across as a joke. Damian planned it in front of others on propose- he wanted to mark his territory clearly and put the social pressure on Dick to have to navigate the situation correctly. bc Dick never wants Damian to feel embarrassed or humiliated. so there's a long, tense silence. someone maybe laughs and tries to crack a joke, with Damian calmly saying he's deadly serious. he expected the ridicule and it's not getting to him. i think it's extra fun if Dick quietly asks Damian to talk in another room about this and they leave and everyone is trading jokes and comments about what Dick is saying and why on earth Damian would even do that, trying to decide if this is a weird version of a prank. so an hour later when Dick and Damian come back out and DIck is *wearing the ring*, everyone is baffled.

Dick intends to say no. he's going to be *kind* about it but of course he's saying no. Damian might be in his 20s now, but he's still a *kid* in Dick's eyes, and Dick could never see him that way. but Damian lays out his reasoning, because he expected a rejection. he's very clear about the logistical aspect of it. how he objectively makes a good partner for Dick, and how getting married would provide stability for the family dynamic as well as the legal aspect of Bruce's company. it's all so well laid out Dick can barely get a word in edge wise. Dick tries to bring up how they're basically family and Damian calming corrects him that no, Dick was only ever Bruce's ward. Damian even brings up instances where Dick expressed a romantic love. bc i do think it's fun if Dick briefly Noticed Damian in that way. never deep enough to develop a full crush, but he definitely noticed when Damian went from a scrappy kid to an adult with toned muscles and his father's jawline. and Damian concludes his speech by saying if Dick has no arguments, then Damian assumes they're proceeding. and well, Dick *has* no real arguments. besides the fact he doesn't want to, which given Damian knows there's attraction there, he's able to easily combat that argument, saying Dick does want it, he's just doubting himself. so, frustrated and not prepared for this argument, Dick says yes, mostly bc of how flustered he is.

Dick's intended plan is to show Damian how bad of an idea their relationship would be. which is what he tells everyone, saying he's just doing this so Damian can learn how terrible their relationship would be and Damian will get it all out of his system. it's like indulging a child trying to set their own bedtime and letting them so they learn why they need sleep. and that works well for about a month, until Dick is realizing, he kind of enjoys this relationship. Damian is a dotting lover, and he's *right*, that he well balances most of Dick's worst traits in a relationship. it has been canonically said that Dick would do best with a partner like Bruce and well, what's Damian if not a more feral clone of Bruce. he has the same intensity that Dick needs, while also respecting he can't control everything about Dick's life. he doesn't expect or demand intimacy of any kind out of Dick, but Dick somehow finds himself sleeping in Damian's arms. (i'm a fan of Damian being a brickhouse as an adult and actually slightly larger than Dick) their first kiss isn't a surprise, bc Damian calmly asks if he can kiss Dick, what's surprising is that Dick says yes before he even thinks about it. he tells himself he's just curious. and it's a *good* kiss, which is even more frustrating. it's the sort of kiss where his hands wander and he's pulling Damian into his lap before Damian pulls away and calmly says he needs consent from Dick to go further. which makes Dick go pink bc, all of this was *not* how this was supposed to go. this was supposed to be a bluff, and now he thinks he's actually dating Damian.

the reactions would take a while to settle in. everyone still sees this as a ridiculous thing that'll blow over, eventually. bc Dick promised this wasn't a *real* thing and well, it *sounds* so ridiculous it can't really sink in. Damian's at that age where he's *just* now transitioning into being seen as an adult by the family. everyone who's on the younger side of the family will know, there's when you become an adult legally, and then there's when you become an adult socially, and those are very different times. Damian's just on the cusp, where a lot of the Batfam still see him as a kid. so it's difficult to grasp that he's old enough to be dating, let alone dating Dick. the longer it lasts the more the hidden laughs become shared looks as it sinks in. i think Bruce wouldn't know *how* to react. so many emotions just cancel out to the point that if he's asked, he just walks out of a room. Tim would be on the more negative side of reactions, whereas Cass is on the more positive. it's heavily varied, with the typical concerns being brought up. but no one can really *do* anything about it. and Dick is *Dick*, he's more trusted than Bruce is by the family, so they sort of have to go along with whatever he does. and more importantly, they trust his judgment. if he's riding this out, then everyone's riding it out with them. eventually, it sort of just becomes part of the dynamic. it goes from a joke to accepted so easily no one really notices when they started taking it seriously. which is the fun of it being so normalized that they don't realize it as a Thing anymore. it's just how Damian and Dick are, which is my favorite brand of things.

What was an alien species mentioned in the Animorphs that you wanted to see explored more?

i honestly wanted to know more about the garatron, since basically all we get is "yeah they're like andalites but faster and pointier. and also the yeerks have one of them" like okay, man, whatever, what's their society like? how convergent with andalites is their evolution, yk? are they bugs? are they ungulates? are they herbivores, even? how do they eat? what do they eat??? whats the garatron-controller like when he's not infested? you can't just drop this description on my head and then NEVER MENTION THEM AGAIN

pulled taffy, dude? like, what's going on with their physiology? partially it has to do with rachel being the narrator, and she's one of the least objective writers of the main six, next to marco, who is responsible for calling andalites "horses with arms sticking out of their necks", where every other character describes them as centaurs.

i went through the weakness again to see if there was much else to work with, and no, all we get is "they're fast enough to run on water", "they're not as fast as a striking snake", and "the yeerks may or may not continue infesting them" GET real. i wanna know if they run on water regularly on their home planet. is their planet's surface made out of quicksand or goo or something that you can't stand still on for fear of becoming Eaten By It? get goofy! get weird! but no

i have other gripes with this book but i would have to actually do a reread to put them to words
