Naberius: Congrats you made it out alive another year, but don't worry I will make sure I will end it soon. Maybe I could say the same thing to your friends, just saying heh.

*reappears without teleporting*

Yep, never mess with Hacker, he’s literally unpredictable.

Sorry Naberius but it’s true lol, hacker’s been lying to you, the entire time, btw he belongs to this lovely chad @admin-240

Prompt 317

IMAGINE THIS: Lil baby Damian, bored and being not quite old enough to start learning how to use proper weapons (curse these wooden ones, he wants true steel!) is wandering the base. This is not out of the ordinary, he’s the prince after all. What is out of the ordinary is that his shadow, his Akhi, is not here. 

Technically, he should be napping, but he woke up and neither his mother or his brother- who is quiet but gentle and isn’t a good speaker (mother said it was from a head injury)- is there. Which is how he finds his way to the Pit, which he’s not supposed to be at. Or at least not alone. 

But! His mother and Akhi are there! And- and Akhi is screaming and he’s never heard him scream like that, like he’s in agony- His eyes are green- they were blue, had, had Mother placed him in the Waters- 

And then the pool is bubbling- he should be running away, get assistance or something, he’s five, he shouldn’t be running towards it when everything is screaming to flee. But one moment he’s at the doorway, the next he’s clinging to his akhi as something writhes in the Pit, a mighty bellow echoing even as the Shadows take defensive positions. 

The water cascades, laps at their feet, splashes everywhere as a scaled form rises from the depths, wings like a bloodied sunset spreading as fur bursts into flames. Crimson eyes glare down at them all, pupils slits as they bare down at his Akhi. 

The creature- the dragon- dips its head down, its breath warm as it chuffs at his akhi, wings folding as though it is bowing. His akhi is clinging to Mother, shivering, several scars glowing as they fade and a burst of hair burned white. 

Oh. 

Oh.

Lefty (my cowriter) has been saying how much Sophie reminds her as Bella Swan - well yesterday I finally watched twilight and. I get it. (the biggest influences on her character are going to be Bella and Jude Duarte)

f/f contemporary romance

two cartoonist who’ve been rivals since uni, and now have competing webcomics online, have to work together on the relaunch of a cult classic at the comic press they both work at

they both struggle with art-related physical and mental health issues, and complicated families

[seilon]

certainly feeling some things about the fact that simon. bullied edwin, yes, because he clocked him being gay. but not out out of hatred for him because of it. instead it was because he thought edwin was cute and felt sad and confused by edwin not paying attention to him. because simon is also gay. that is some beautiful and tragic storytelling and such a good way to come back around and give edwin some amount of closure on that chapter of his life wow

[badolmen]

People love ragging on Catholics on this site (fast free and easy like river water socks) but I think it’s extra funny y’all seem to think Catholics are some sort of sex prudes. Like, if a Catholic man does not give his wife an orgasm he is failing his sworn duties as a husband. I did not endure polite insinuations that my parents fucked often and well to have as many kids as they have for you to act like any self respecting Catholic is a celibate virgin. Laypeople have sex in this denomination Kaitleign. What are we, Calvinists? Jansenism is soooo 17th century Protestant Reformation-informed heresy.

Can you info dump about bluebelle, I’m very curious about her :3

SORRY THIS TOOK A HUNDRED THOUSAND YEARS I WANTED IT TO BE PERFECT

Hi hello!!!!! I will very gladly talk about Bluebelle, she’s the love of my life forever :D 💙💙💙💙💙

Important note: I’m a very um dramatic person when it comes to creating oc backstories. I am nothing if not a little bit pretentious, and giving ocs weird and angsty backstories is my passion project, and that’s part of the reason it took so long to collect my thoughts, and come up with something concrete, (or as concrete as possible)

I’ll start with facts about her that I like and then backstory regarding the fabled music box :))

-her design/colors are based off of a stuffed animal I bought in Munich :)

-the songs I most associate with her, (I have a playlist because I wanted one), are probably A Dangerous Thing/Everything Matters by AURORA, The Sugar Plum Fairy from the Nutcracker, and I came to your party dressed as a shadow. Adore those songs

-the only jellicles that she has met, (by choice), are Victoria, Misto, Plato, and Demeter. Or rather, Demeter knows of her, but Bluebelle doesn’t know Demeter

-this is mostly bc she’s pretty paranoid about meeting new people, and prefers to stick to her people. It took her a while to warm up to Plato, but eventually she got used to him

-this is also despite Vicci’s best efforts to convince Bluebelle to at the very least meet Jemima

-SPEAKING OF JEMIMA, if you haven’t heard, here’s my little jellicle magic theory: The cat’s magic relates to their eyes, just vaguely. Jemima and Misto each have white eyes, and you may have noticed, Bluebelle has those eyes as well. Because she’s. Blue. And that’s not a typical cat color, I figured I should just run with it. I see Bluebelle’s magic as a combination of Jemima and Victoria! Yes, Victoria is magic to me and that’s not just because she’s lovely and beautiful, but because of the way she uses the music in the show, and the way some productions seem to use her as a metaphor for the Jellicle moon, relating it to her dancing. This is especially true for me when I hc Vicci as deaf, because it implies some sort of magic when her solo syncs with the music. Bluebelle has the same sort of music and dance magic as Victoria, and the same sort of eerie unearthly-ness of Jemima. Basically I combined all my favorite girlies into one and made her <33

Really incoherent n convoluted story under the cut lolllll

I’ve always imagined the music box has something Bluebelle has had since she was very young, as in some of her earliest memories are of the tune it plays. Her mother probably gave it to her before both of her parents disappeared like they were in a Disney movie. The point is that it’s one of her favorite things, and she loves dancing to it. Victoria loves the song as well, and they sometimes practice using the music box, and things continue as so until Misto appears, and starts practicing with them.

Because Misto insists that no music is coming out of the music box. He can’t hear a single note.

Neither can Plato, or any of the other jellicles, when Victoria borrows it, and plays the song for everyone else in the junkyard, (Bluebelle doesn’t go with her-she’d rather not meet the others, for fear they won’t like her, or will tell Victoria to stop visiting her).

No one else can hear the music. No one except, of course, for Jemima and the psychic twins.

Bluebelle starts to ask around town, playing it for different cats, until she finds an older tom, not far, though she doesn’t know it, from the Junkyard.

He can’t hear the music box of course, but he tells her that he’s bit of a collector of magical artifacts. Perhaps he’ll have something similar in his collection.

Would she like to take a look?

Bluebelle declines. Declines at least, to visit him on this night. She hands him the music box, and instructs him to take it back to his den, and look for himself. They will meet in the same place the next day, and if he cannot find anything, then she will go and see for herself.

The next morning, they meet again. He tells her that he’s sorry, he couldn’t find anything that matched the box, and that in his haste to meet her on time, he’d left the box behind. The tomcat invites her to his den, and again, she declines, saying she will visit on a later date, that she already has plans.

Bluebelle follows him home, and hides in wait. She watches as his friends gather to scheme, and doesn’t notice the staring of a golden queen hanging off the arm of a blood orange tom.

The acquaintances leave, and the old cat retires to his den. The fire is almost out, leaving her to sneak into the other tent.

…blood seeps from every item in the cramped space, leaving it to drip from the walls and stain the ground scarlet.

He is not only a collector of magical artifacts, but a collector of queens, as well. The music box is the only thing unmarred by the red, so she steals it back.

She swears she can hear him howling the whole trip.

Bluebelle doesn’t tell Victoria what happens. She tells her to steer clear of the cat who could very be Bluebelle’s father, with a coat as vibrant as the sea, and Victoria doesn’t ask any questions.

Bluebelle doesn’t want to meet any of the other jellicles after that. She barely wants to talk to anyone ever again, with the exception of the few cats she already knows.

She and Victoria still dance to the music box though. Misto tries to follow along.

[aeipathy-dendrology]

my take on the Watcher announcement: oh wow the guys from LA are delusional and disconnected from reality???? By Talos this can’t be happening!

[dread0narrival]

I saw Vesper and biting. I don't care to read any deeper into it than that. I'm ready whenever you are, bbg

“Will you bite the hand that feeds? Will you chew until it bleeds?”

He will retaliate when least expected. It’s even more traumatizing for him if he kills someone he loved. But they weren’t really the love of his life if he had to kill them, right?

[jenipedia]

So I’m six hours into The Veilguard so far and I don’t know what some of y’all are complaining about. I don’t think the dialogue is cringy at all? I don’t care that they use the actual word trans in the game? The combat feels similar to ME2 and I don’t mind that?

Idk what to tell you, man. I’m having a blast.

There is only one aspect that I don’t like and I won’t mention it here because it’s spoilery to my one friend who is currently trying to catch up with the games, but I’m wondering if that might change during the course of the story, or at least we’ll see how they got there.

[every-kuzu]

Kakuzu has been my fav character for like, a decade, so I absolutely adore this blog after having seen nothing of him for years. Thank you so much T_T what inspired you to make this?

i created this blog out of spite some random night this august. i’d been looking around for an every kakuzu blog but i couldn’t find one (which is weird bc both everykakuzu and every-kakuzu was taken, which is why this blog is called every-kuzu instead). it made me annoyed since most other akatsuki members have an every blog from what i’ve seen, so at last i just decided to do things myself. i stayed up until around 1 am queueing posts and the rest is history

[hypersexualshanks]

What are the things that you love the most about shanks?

i know an infodumping opportunity when i see one

as a character? i think he's the perfect balance of silly and serious. he cares so deeply about his crew, always reminding them of how much he cares about keeping them alive and how indisposable they all are, despite the fact that so many powerful pirates treat their men like tools that can be discarded and replaced on a whim. the way he shows this, though, isn't just by fighting to protect them. he embraces every single member of his crew, includes them all in celebrations as though every single one were family. and he sees them that way! he cares so deeply about every person he's tasked with protecting.

and he's also just such an easygoing guy whenever he can afford to be. he'd spend his whole life taking in the sun and the sand on every island on the grand line if he could, and i just kinda find that adorable. at his core he's just a sweetheart who wants to explore the world and drink with his friends. that's so cute! it's such a breath of fresh air compared to all of the other emperors in one piece. he takes his responsibilities and his reputation seriously, of course, but unlike so many other pirates in the series he doesn't seem to have a concrete goal, and he takes his time with the goals he does have in mind. he seems to understand better than anyone that pirate life is about freedom, and he shows it by traveling the world and taking in everything it has to offer.
