#ally answers friends

[robobarbie]

I want to go bowling w xyx but I feel like he would embarrass me in front of my friends by outdoing me (I need the guards up or else I only get gutters)

Hell no! He only thrashes you if he knows you'd be okay with it. Xyx wants you to have fun too, and adapts his bit accordingly- playing "pinball" with the guards using the lightest ball, rolling the slowest round known to man with the heaviest ball, or just playing a normal game with a side gig as a fake commentator.

That said, you can forget about mercy if it's just the two of you. Then he's going for that perfect 300, sorry doll.

CLARK FINDING OUT BRUCE'S HAIR IS CURLEYYYYY

It’s funny for two possible reasons: 1) Bruce looks even hotter with his hair mussed, sweaty, and starting to curl (duh) or 2) Clark is like WAIT, you have curly hair too?

Today I learned that the Pope has the right to appoint secret cardinals, and even the cardinals themselves may not realize that they now have a new position. Popes have the right to make the name public at any time, but if the Pope dies before the Cardinal's name is made public, the individual ceases to be a Cardinal.

Yes, Catholicism is weird.

But more importantly, there is only one person in the world who can prove that I am not a cardinal.

I've been wondering... are you gonna do anything with the gotham sirens in your au? Or is that a spoiler 😶

Ofc! I know I’ve posted art with the three of them before but i honestly don’t draw them nearly enough dyflfydhck, they’re a rlly fun trio to think about tho

Rouge, Sonic and Shadow work well together but would literally sell the other two out for a dime in the right circumstances (spite, conflicting interests, etc.) , usually it’s Rouge who does it the most often leaving the other two to take the fall. It means that Shadow and Sonic are very always reluctant to lend their services to her latest schemes, and Shadow especially tends to hold a grudge over those instances

But Rouge always manages to find a way to convince them to team up

They team up together on and off throughout the au on random side adventures!

Edit: they do grow to be friends eventually tho but it’s very slow burn and none of realise it’s happening except maybe Sonic

Just want to say: a, I admire very much that you've figured out a healthy way to work on your fics that allows you to have fun with it. And also b, am very excited to hear that you are getting there with pez! It has fully given me brain rot ever since I read it last year, there is just such a lack of content for the highly specific trope of using time travel as a device to explore extremely unhealthy levels of self loathing.

I just adore everything you're doing in it. Neither midoriya is anywhere approaching okay for any portion of the fic and I love rereading and mining into all the subtle characterization pointing to that. It's a bit like nhtycth in that some really goofy funny stuff is often hiding some really fucking worrying things, but the fact that characters DO do that stuff—that todoroki uses his teaspoon's worth of extremely stunted social skills to bludgeon his friend's door open and help him, that a rpf shipping war is an actual source of drama despite how goofy the sentiment seems on the surface, that about half of what jon says is deeply worrying and the other half is extremely funny and there's a lot of overlap between the two—really lifts the tension and brightens the universe. It's sort of similar to what you did with gerry, in that endless misery isn't nearly as painful as the ups and downs of a life that, when you step back and zoom out, has something deeply and horribly wrong with it.

(jon sort of reminds me of spider-man in that he uses human to deal with trauma and stress, except I don't think he at any point realizes how fucking funny he is. He's just there, in a home depot, gnashing his teeth because he's got so many bodies to dispose of and this cashier sure is taking her time.)

I really, really, really have had trouble finding fics that take everything midoriya has dealt with to task. It's a hell of a thing to live 14 years as a disabled minority, have it heavily shape your existence, and then one day you wake up and you realize you're...not that, or at least, nobody will ever acknowledge you as that again. You've lost all claim to it. Those experiences that shaped who you are? Dust in the wind. 14 years of pain and life might as well be buried in the ground for all the good they do you. Nobody's going to cut you any slack or quarter, you've gotta simply work harder, be better. And now when you do that you get the results you wanted, so that's fine, then. That's good. There was something wrong with the you before, and there's something right with the you now, and if the transition is a little rough, well that doesn't matter, you're the same as everyone else now, so it's your own job to fill in whatever gaps you need to.

I really can't get over how mentally fucked it must be for midoriya to run into quirkless people, run across quirkless issues, and be silently caught between, incapable of speaking his mind and too scared to do so anyway around those he can trust.

Also I should mention, I'm just very excited for bakugou to get back from the gym. He's been there like a year I hope he's getting a good workout in.

Me realizing that it’s been a year since pez dispenser debris:

I feel like there’s just this very specific type of grief that Izuku has to grapple with in the span of pez dispenser debris that I’m just obsessed with. He’s sort of silently mourning who he could have been, when 1) he has to present like there’s nothing lost to maintain his secret and 2) the entire world is constantly inundating him with the message that there was nothing lost.

Like. I don’t want to get too deep into it because it risks spoiling things and I do have major plans to continue it (I’ve loved this story for so many years before I ever even hit publish), but the emotion that Izuku’s feeling right now is so much more complex than “I hate who I used to be and want him to stop existing” or “I just want to keep my secrets.” And I think the way he interacts with Mirio is the biggest evidence of that.

Izuku’s placed himself at the very center of the Quirklessness debate with his support of Mirio. He fights for Quirkless heroes, very publicly, to the point where he’s not even graduated yet but considered to be one of the most prominent voices on the matter. If you took a poll of Quirkless people as to which hero would be most supportive of them pursing their own career in heroics, Izuku would be right at the top of the list. When it comes to Quirklessness itself, he’s nothing but supportive.

But he didn’t tell Mirio the truth of his own Quirklessness.

Out of everyone, Mirio’s the one everyone expects to know, despite him being a relatively newer relationship compared to someone like Iida or Uraraka or Todoroki. And I tried to imply that he’s sort of the one who knows the most about Izuku out of everyone save All Might.

Like, we’ll get into how much exactly Mirio knows soon, so I won’t divulge what, if anything, Izuku has told him. But we know that Mirio knows, weirdly enough, that Izuku is deeply fucking haunted. He knows that boy has many violent ghosts in his bones. He finds it hilarious and will tell their realtor about it. Izuku told him about the discontent spirits who died in a violent passion and live on inside of him before he told him about his Quirklessness.

And I just feel like one of those things is a little bit easier to discuss than the other.

Izuku has decided to keep his own Quirklessness quiet in a way that surpasses secrecy about One for All. If it was just about OfA, he could tell people he didn’t get his quirk until the entrance exam, and it wouldn’t even be a lie. He’s purposefully obscuring his own past as Quirkless even as he takes a forefront of the Quirkless hero debate with his open support of Mirio.

And the fact that he’s at the forefront of this debate in and of itself requires a difficult dichotomy. He is the world’s most vocal proponent for the first Quirkless hero. He is a known figure in the Quirkless community now.

He isn’t considered one of them anymore. He’s an outsider coming in.

It must be such a strange, odd sort of grief to come to the people you were home amongst for most of your life and be greeted as a stranger. To return home, and to be welcomed in for the first time, and to not even be able to tell people that you’ve lived here all your life and don’t need a tour.

It’s a sort of death of self, I think. And I think Izuku never expected to have to grapple with his own ghost.

what are your thoughts on gaylor?

YOU'RE RIGHT WHAT IF THIS IS A TWISTED IRONY OF GETTING WHAT YOU WANT. MACAQUE HAS THE POWER TO KILL WUKONG OR MK FOR REAL THIS TIME??? but he doesn't want to. what if he's forced again. what if this power has the potential to destroy him to be removed/stopped from affecting others?

….so about Wukong’s death flags— *gunshots*

Character Opinions Bingo: Josette (either ghost Josette or 1795 Josette or! 1991?) Please and thank you!

i think i'm in a minority of people who actually do prefer josette in her ghost form, before we meet her in 1795 — which is maybe a product of less is more? letting your imagination run away with you? but i really like the air of mystery, and tragedy, and ... a porous myth, laying over the whole story. I tend to be a little more fond of the mythos version of the family history as opposed to the one that's told to us in time travel: that jeremiah was cruel, and josette suffered, but they suffered because human hearts are messy and getting involved with your husband's nephew can only really lead to tragedy. (as opposed to later tellings, where there is no fault placed on either josette or jeremiah, or barnabas, and everything stems from angelique's curse) and I love the way she functions as a device, protecting the lost and lonely and friendless kids (david and vicki) because, in the story, she was so lonely, and that lead to her death. so she intervenes, even with people who may or may not be blood collinses. (she wasn't! she was a collins by marriage!) for me ... I think she works better as a character who haunts the narrative, but she works really, really well as a haunting. the eternal ghost bride haunting the cliff called widows' hill, so-named because the collins family drove local wives to such suffering, widowhood, exile? the childless, unhappy collins wife protecting a distant collins descendant from his biological mother — and allying with his metaphorical mother? protecting vicki from dying before her time, before she can die as she's fated to on the cliff, which is at best ambiguously merciful? gosh i love her. i could ramble forever.

Prussia can also be abnormal about the Italies as a treat... I remember the cleaning game and the drama cds with him sounding Desperate @Italy and I really remember the statement in the manga that he likes Romano as much as Veneziano-

You may be right anon - I haven’t watched those cds yet! I really should thanks for reminding me :P I did watch one just for this ask tho and there’s a good case there ngl -w-

Me, personally, I see this as him being the freak that he usually is who doesn’t know how to make friends normally lol - like he needs to know information about them before finally approaching so he lowkey fact stalks them before being like hiiii I know when your birthday is do you wanna be friends <3 👁️👁️

I think it’s really sweet that he likes Romano as much as Vene I think it’s the moxie that dude’s got that attracts him :)

everytime we get a single SCRAP, a mere MORSEL, an ATOM of anything keyleth was up to in the past 30yrs I lose my mind and make it my personality. with no shame.

[katyspersonal]

I find it very ironic how the same cultish looser that shuns people based on who they're friends with because she genuinely thinks if you believe something you can't have human interactions or treatment to those who believes otherwise..... will preach hard and proud against harassment for people's headcanons, ships and takes whereas being friends with the person who did harass people's headcanons, ships and takes. But why rules are always only for their victims and never for them? What's so hard about following what you preach? Go ahead, disown this person and be mean to everyone who still likes them and want to give them a chance, you SHOULD by the terms that YOU'VE chosen! But you won't, you'll rather cover their ass and pretend you haven't seen the evidence, to save the face, because should you ever admit a mistake you'll explode from the notion of not being so "holy". PEAK L0garius and Alfred behavior.

IT'S RICK V-79'S BIRTHDAY || accepting

@countlessrealities sent; As promised, once the night had fallen and his official duties for the day were completed, Rick headed back to the other timeline to meet his counterpart. He didn't bother changing out of his uniform. He wasn't expecting to stay long anyway. He had no doubts that his other self had plans for his night.

They met in front of the main door of the other Morty's penthouse, as they had agreed. Mimicking what his counterpart had done earlier, Rick stalked forwards, stopping only when he had invaded his personal space.

"I-I have a gift for you," was all he said, before presenting a small device.

It looked vaguely like a pager, but it was obviously high tech, with an additional component, a holo-projector.

"I-It's a communicator and a tracker. I-I have another for myself. W-With this, you can contact me an-and find me anywhere, no matter where I am in the multiverse. An-And I can do the same."

He deposited the device in his other self's palm.

"W-We must stick together. A-Allies and friends."

[[ Bday ask from my Evil Rick to your Evil Rick! ]]

It was perfect timing on Rick's part, he figured since he would meet his counterpart outside the door, he would also get ready to go out as well. It wasn't as if his Morty wanted to spend his birthday with him anyway. Besides, it's been a while since he could be free to do as he pleased.

As he stood there, in the outfit he chose for the night, he watched as the other approached him in that familiar uniform. It made him a little envious. He wanted a uniform like that. Though, his Morty didn't believe in such things.

Tuning back in to his counterpart, his attention was drawn to the device. He held it in his hand, examining it carefully. Blinking a few times, he glanced up at the other to hear the explanation.

Stick together, allies and friends. That put a warmth within his chest. Something he's never experienced before. It came on too sudden, too fast. He almost thought it was indigestion.

Shaking that thought out of his head, he met with identical eyes before him. Only then to let his body act on it's own. Both of his arms enveloping his counterpart's frame, pulling in close to a hug.

He's never hugged anyone before. Not like this. Usually he was the one being forced into a hug. It was unlike him, but he couldn't help the overwhelming emotion that took over him.

"I-I will stick by your side, other me, y-you're my one and only real friend."

The words were whispered in the other's ear, pulling back, he took a glance in those identical eyes once more. Nodding in approval before stepping back.

"Th-Thank you, I-I must get going now. I-I will talk with you tomorrow. Goodbye."

PLEASE ADVICE 🏳️‍🌈

how do i show LGBTQ+ people around me I'm an ally and they're save with me?

I was told that you guys hate the ally flag (and tbh i understand why) and that i should NOT wear a rainbow flag symbol if I'm straight (which i also understand and respect) but i don't know how to let scared people know they're save with me.
