[okthatsgreat]

Finally, what would your ocs choose if given that choice at the end of lgowab.

OOOOOOOOOO FUCK YESSS i love oc questions always and forever mwah mwah mwah

spoilers for lgowab under the cut!!!! and i mean SPOILERS this is like. the very end of the story gfhdskgk

ooooooo this is a tough one... this is assuming that danganronpa had been watching them pretty heavily throughout this convention, enough for them to be selected as the one to MAKE the choice in the first place.......... half of these people would not even make it this far but ASSUMING THEY DO:

• rie: kyoko. brainwashed into being anti-ahl, is very frightened and desperate at that point and would shove a lot of the responsibility onto kyoko rather than do anything too "risky"

• ryobe: hard to say honestly, could see him not shooting. isnt able to hold any gun in his hands and would have shit aim regardless just because of how bad he would be shaking. this isnt to say that team dr wouldnt just take out whoever he had pointed at themselves but still i think he either becomes so inconsolable that he doesn't shoot or he ends up mayyyyybe firing at makoto. or maybe at himself idk

• naomi: doesn't make it to this point in any universe, but if she hypothetically did i reckon she'd be similar to ryobe in that she can't find the strength to shoot somebody else (which is all ironic and crap) OR she fires off at the director, gets everybody else in the building killed in the worlds most awful mirroring of her own killing game, and THEN takes herself out

• billie: depends. she's an easily influenced character who latches on to different charismatic presences for guidance. her choice depends on who managed to get in her ear throughout this entire killing game i reckon. most basic answer is she doesnt shoot, but i can honestly see somebody from the ahl getting in her ear and swaying her towards shooting makoto but that ahl member would REALLYYYY have to work hard

• yoshito: oughgh probably kyoko. he's an extreme pacifist so it would hurt him a lot, but i think he would have been poisoned by team dr enough that he reluctantly takes the shot rather than abstaining. maybe in one universe he gets so fed up with how his class has been treated he points at the director but kyoko seems far more likely

• mika: honestly. makoto. she's a lot more vindictive than yoshito is, not to mention she would project a lot of her own resentment towards her not having a talent onto him. he is the ultimate lucky student that "made it", that became the ultimate hope but then BETRAYED everybody, and he is everything she wants to be and everything she totally despises. makoto definitely

• erin: also wouldn't make it this far due to ahl (especially considering the fact team dr would have had to have been watching her for a while for her to be making this decision in the first place!!!). hypothetically if she was there it would be an immediate shot fired at the director or makoto

• sae: ouguhg this ones tough. because she would really think about it she really really would. she's smart and (maybe???) calm enough to know that not firing at anybody will get herself killed, same with firing at the director, and shes not willing to let that happen so she's going to aim her gun at SOMEBODY, just unsure who....... her decision would rest a lot on how she went through this killing game as a whole and i can honestly imagine a lot of different outcomes for her so it's a tough choice. because shes on the enforcement team im gonna say that kyoko is most likely but makoto is a close second

THANK YOU FOR THESE QUESTIONS SO SO MUCH THEYVE BEEN FUN <333!!!

[coldflasher]

you know i have to ask about coldwest for the ship thing

hmmm yeah, this one isn't for me really :/ not my cup of tea

jokes, can you imagine haha. i am the captain of coldwest. yo ho ho and a bottle of why-the-fuck-didn't-they-get-more-screentime

What made you ship it?

Honestly I had never even thought about shipping them until Redhead's fic "Needs Must, As the Devil Drives" got me super into Coldwestallen, and from there I spent a lot more time thinking about the Coldwest side of that dynamic and what a fun and complicated relationship that would be... then the rest, ngl, was largely built from my own headcanons and bits of dozens of fics that hopefully, one day, I will actually finish...

2. What are your favorite things about the ship?

So many things!! I think the first thing that comes to mind is that I feel like Coldwest offers a great opportunity to put Iris out there in the field. The show kind of tends to keep Iris out of the action a lot. Like she is a hugely important member of the team, obviously, but she's generally sitting in S.T.A.R Labs running tech support, and aside from occasionally getting temporary speed powers or occasionally aiming a gun at a threat, she often takes a back seat to the action. Barry in particular has this tendency to want to get Iris as far away from a fight as possible, and while I get it, I love seeing Iris kick ass. We know she can shoot, throw a punch, whatever, but she rarely gets the opportunity to get out there as much, and whenever she does, it's panic button time and she gets whisked to safety. I feel like Len, with his tendency to get into trouble, his love of adrenaline and a fight, and the thrill he clearly gets while fighting, would love to have Iris on his side in that kind of situation, and he wouldn't hesitate to get her involved. He'd actually encourage it, if anything. Which also provides fun conflict with Joe, who would already be seething that this criminal is dating his daughter, but now he's encouraging her to put her life at risk and possibly commit crimes? Oh, the drama >:) I love writing Coldwest team-ups where Iris gets to use her skills as a reporter while Len uses his skills as a thief, and they kind of play off one another... with lots of back and forth arguing and snark, of course.

I also personally like that, in my view, Iris would have a better handle on Len than anyone else. Like he's more willing to let her boss him around than he would be with another partner. As mentioned, she doesn't take his shit, she's not as amused by him and she will tell him to cut the crap if he's being a dick. In contrast, though, I also feel like he'd be softer than her than he would with another partner. Sure, he'll pull her pigtails and make mean, sly comments, he wouldn't be Len if he didn't... but he also admires and respects her, he's a fan of her work, and I think that Iris is just such a kind and gentle person that I think being around her would soften him. He'd never admit it, but in my head, he's so gone for her, and while it might take a while for him to let his guard down, if you'll excuse the terrible ice pun, he'd melt for her. Like. That small smile he gives to show he's proud of his sister---that kind of moment, all this affection and pride that he keeps private and only lets out when no one's looking, but when they're alone, he lets her see it. Just a little. Sigh.

Also, I kind of like that it's such unchartered territory wrt canon. Like GOD my kingdom for more coldwest scenes, but also, the fact that we get to see so little of them together on screen means that there is so much to explore there, and canon cannot tell me no (like it would stop me anyway haha). It really does give me free reign to think about how they would interact and what kind of scenarios they'd get involved in.

Oh yeah, and I also think they're both extremely hot and I wanna see them bang seven ways to Sunday, so there's that

3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

I don't really know. It's such a small ship, I don't really know what opinions are out there haha. Hm... I guess maybe that I think Iris would call him babe. Cos generally Len is NOT a petname person and I think if anyone else tried to call him babe, he would make them regret it, but with Iris, he's like a cat being pet and secretly liking it but pretending not to... he's like "I'll allow it. Maybe." but secretly smug like yes. I am babe

Send me a ship and I'll answer three questions based on whether I ship it or not

SPOILERS FOR THE SECRET OF NIMH, A MOVIE THAT CAME OUT THE YEAR I WAS BORN SO IT IS VERY OLD AND I'M PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE WHO HASN'T SEEN IT BEFORE NOW:

They cut out the poisoning of the rose bush??

That's like...the ENTIRE POINT of the story! The rats get comfortable with their intelligence and forget that humans will always consider them a disposable problem in need of eradication! Like their sophistication and empathy is rewarded with DEATH, because the NIMH people (and humans in general) are horrible monsters who create affronts to God! The rats are Frankensteins and we cannot abide them! The experiments were a mistake! All of this was a cautionary tale!

And they cut it out. And replaced it with Mrs. Frisby using a magic necklace to gain wizard powers and move her stupid house.

Look. I get that in this adaptation, they decided to make the NIMH rats techno-wizards. That's fine. And you don't have to explain how the hell that works. In fact it is better if you don't. But only if the NIMH rats are the only ones with telekinetic powers. You can't give them inexplicable magical artifacts that give random mice the Force. I need SOMETHING to explain that. And there's nothing here.

This movie suffers from the Don Bluth Dilemma. Which is, fucking indescribably gorgeous animation, art direction, and shot composition, utterly comulent characters and story pacing, and shit attempts at humor. Nearly every movie he has ever made is that. And I don't understand why he had such difficulty with everything on the writing side. Hire someone who is good at writing, Don. This is a bizarre problem to keep having.

The ending should have been the evil NIMH rat refusing to leave the bush, and dying of the poison. All that nonsense about him sabotaging the house moving, and then immediately declaring himself Evil and attacking everyone, is confusing and stupid. And it wasn't in the book. You changed a thing and made it worse, and I have no idea why. Just adapt the book. The book was fine.

In the book they move her house and that's the end of it. Which is weird anyway. You're a mouse, Frisby. Dig a new hole on the other side of the rock and move the kid's bed into it. I fail to see what magical healing properties the cinder block has.

That's like the thing from the book and movie where being hyper-intelligent makes the rats feel bad for stealing electricity from the farmer. Like being injected with science drugs taught them to read English and also gain down-to-Earth Midwestern capitalistic sensibilities. You can make an argument defending that, but I'm not sure you should.

The Secret of NIMH is a beautiful movie, and its a solid B-tier. Until the last 10 minutes, when it craps out. There is no moral or point to any of this the way it ends, except "wouldn't it be cool if mice were tiny wizards?" Which...I mean...YES, but if you were aiming for that, lean into it. Because as a movie about wizard mice, there isn't enough of that and it sucks.

So I give it a C- overall. Beautiful, but totally shoots itself in the foot by being a pointlessly bad adaptation of the source material.

Like, the very last scene is the unfunny comic relief crow getting laid. A girl crow just shows up. That was a priority. But the gassing of the rose bush? Pfffft. Who needs that?

I don't understand you, Bluth. So close, but always so far...
