#and a lot of plot dependent

[shellyseashell]

*checks calendar* like a month ago @shouldwemaybe told me i should talk about magnus and iduna so. here it is. finally.

- magnus is very specific about who he lets touch him, and iduna is one of those few people

- the isle has no way to legally marry, unless you’re part of follo’s cult, so them saying they’re married just means they threw a party, really

- iduna was one of his first allies. they met when she was assigned to be his guide when he was new to the witch academy.

- magnus is awful at taking care of himself, so iduna uses evil to force him to rest, sometimes even using her magic to make him relax

- iduna collects things for magnus, like plants from her gardens and small trinkets from the market. he keeps them all, but he’d never admit it.

- they garden together. magnus thinks it’s awful for his image but does it anyway.

- they are very overprotective parents. they only trust a few people around asta without their supervision, and they only let her out of their territory in extreme circumstances.

- iduna knows a lot of lullabies, so she taught some to magnus so they can both sing to asta

the way that in real life Indianapolis, IN there is a canal on which you can take a ride in a real life gondola with a guy dressed up like a stereotypical Venetian gondolier and NONE of you have given that job to Eddie Munson... fake fans

full on feel like pjo tv s2 is not gonna hold up so they need to drag as much attention to the series as they can by using nico as a sock puppet w tsats2

im fully expecting the show to go the way of the movies. it doesnt help Sea of Monsters is almost unanimously the least favorite book of the first series. People frequently forget it even exists or what happens in it, especially more casual fans.

Heck, just look at how little fanfare the second season has gotten so far as compared to the build up to s1. I wouldn't be surprised if s2 totally flops. It would be a little funny.

made this & then realized i wanted to make something else instead

Very short Enver Gortash x GN! Reader

You: ENVER!!!

Gortash going pale: Daaarling... There you are! *he smiles pleasantly, while internally his mind races desperately trying to find which specific evil plot you are mad about and how to explain himself *

And thus, with the passing of 24 hours, Caeru's ambition truly comes to an end. Major Nemesis spoilers below the cut- we're talking endgame ambition business here. Mostly on a character RP front.

The Doomed Scientist made quite a few... choice decisions, in the end. Killing Cups once and for all, recording his story as one of grief-

And sparing what little remained of Mr Mirrors, leaving it free to roam Parabola as it sees fit.

Some of them, he can explain. Others, he's still left to feel... discontent.

Cups needed to die. That much was certain from the start. It was a tyrant, as all Masters are, and complicit in the bargaining and eventual destruction of four (potentially five) cities, as all Masters are. It was an obstacle. A murderer. A petty monster that felt no remorse even on its deathbed, and it went out of its way to ruin multiple lives just because it felt owed its own sick and twisted idea of revenge.

It killed his first love. It looked him in the eyes and he knew what it had done and he knew from the start it was going to die.

Perhaps, in the end, it knew too. And yet it still pleaded, and wanted to live, and-

It made a bargain.

A bargain Caeru didn't take.

Not because he didn't want to. Gods, he wanted to. He wanted it. He wanted it more than anything else in the world. To have Greylu back, to give him the gift of life, of love, to show him the wonders of the Neath and the beauty of the correspondence and all of the people Caeru has met and loved and found home with along the way-

But. He couldn't.

Because Cups was a monster. And no matter what, it deserved to die. And he could not, in good conscience, allow it to live.

Even if sparing it meant everything he's ever wanted.

So he's left here, now. With a bloodied traveling coat, and a bloodsoaked knife, and a favor finally fulfilled.

And nothing to live for. No resurrected lover, no charming visits to Helicon, no slow dances in the living room, no memories to rebuild and lives to live and he won't live again-

Nothing. All he has is a coat born of obligation, not to his love, but to people he's never even met. To lives he's never even touched. To a paramour, still alive, with hair of rose-pink, who doesn't even remember her own brother's existence.

Cups didn't die for Caeru's sake. Cups died for the sake of all who wanted it dead. For the revenger's court, and the ghost screaming in his ear, and the reckoning that will not be postponed indefinitely.

And Caeru, who acted as a tool to carry out their wills? Who all but betrayed his own lover, just to satisfy a cause he never knew existed?

All Caeru is left with, is regret. Regret-

-And grief.

Any chance that we’ll get to hate on Elaine of Corbenic in game 🥺👉👈

Well... if she ever becomes plot-relevant, I suppose it's possible.

PREDICTIONS FOR HSBC UPD8: Tonight we’ll get...

Commander Karkat dies

Tavros Crocker held hostage by the brig boys much to the horror of Jake

Gamzee’s heart was jumpstarted by the lollipop juju or something else and he’s running wild beyond the grave or in trickster mode as a sort of troll zombie.

Meenah’s ring of life gets stolen RIP

Ultimate Dirk is doing something with his homebrew SBURB game and/or Arquiusprite is there helping Dirk prep for the game.

Jade gets told that Rose and/or Tavros are gone and it breaks her concentration on keeping the force field up (and that’s the cliffhanger we get for the first update of this month)

Dave and Aradia doing more time powers training and Jade is there (or they all smoke weed or something)

We get some dialogue with Kanaya (on the green space ship) talking to Roxy about Rose going off with Dirk.

Alt Calliope tries to once again posses Jade

Aradia tells Sollux its time to GTFO of there and he’s surprised she’s back, asks for 5 more minutes and she asks what game he’s playing and they catch up.

Red Tape tied in a bow (P1 | P2 | P3) (Patreon)

Also decided to give a go to the caption thing again since this one’s rather dialogue-heavy!

[Panel 2] Peepers: Uhm...sir? Hater: What. Peepers: Could you- do you have the full paperwork on our health plan?

[Panel 3] Hater: Health plan? Peepers what in grop’s name are you talking about??

[Panel 4] Peepers: It’s really no big thing, I just wanted to see what was (and wasn’t) covered-

[Panel 5] Hater: Commander Peepers. Are you planning to commit insurance fraud on my dime? And you’re asking me how?

[Panel 7] Peepers: P- hahahaha! I would never dream of it, Lord Hater!

[Panel 8] Hater: Then-? Peepers: I just want to see what’s covered, sir. Like I said already...

[Panel 9] Hater: Hrmph. It’s all personally approved by me, so feel free to ask, Commander.

persona’s one of those things where within the text everyone is cis and it makes that abundantly clear, like, constantly

[nyerusnova]

question for my fellow comic book fanfic writers/readers....

do you guys have a preference for tech and general pop culture stuff in fics that are based on a "canon time period?"

e.g. you've got a fic that's based on a storyline that was originally written in 2002 or something, when personal cell phones were kinda rare (and minutes/texts were $$$) -- would you prefer the fic to try and stick to that time period, so like everyone better have nokia bricks AT BEST. or do you not care at all about anachronisms like that?

[c1trvswurld]

always find it funny when junkrat ride or dies get supprised he is disliked or makes other uncomfortable forget that he is a war criminal no joke, like ofc most of the cast, especially overwatch, is a bit unnerved by him. And to most of the cast he is seen as an uneducated clock is correct only twice a day looney character. He does get his props in the few characters who recognize his natural smarts and love for his craft. But its very few and far in between, most of the overwatch cast believes he is an odd one out (I believe him andhog have joined ow in current lore?).

And while i do understand seeing him desperately form connections only to get shot down(even with the more kind sympathetic characters) is a bit sad, I don't really think its out of character for any of them to not be so warm to him at first

Sidenote: hog and ana's interaction where he calls her nana is top tier lmao

i wanna know more about kyer and alisia, their designs are super cool and the stuff u said about them in tags sounds super interesting!!

AA PEOPLE BEING INTERESTED IN MY OCS

so. they're both major characters in this RPG I would really like to make someday called The Mission Of Imperium.

Basically everyone is aware of the 4th wall, Players are seen as an entity that must be summoned when the world is faced with a dilemma that ordinary heroes cannot solve.

however, Players need a vessel.

in this particular story, Kyer is The Intended Vessel. they were chosen for this role because they tend to be a pushover and thus would be easy for the Player to control.

Alisia has been Kyer's best friend since childhood, and planned to go with them and basically be the Game's deuteragonist while Kyer would be the protagonist. she doesn't trust the Player, nor does she particularly like the idea of Kyer being possessed, but she is willing to let this happen and support their decision to act as a vessel.

however, when the player tries to inhabit Kyer's body, it is revealed that they are actually unable to act as a vessel. having the Player inhabiting them causes a lot of pain and could lead to death (that the Player would not be able to respawn them from) within less than an hour if the Player is not removed from their body.

Because of this, the Player ends up switching vessels last minute, causing Alisia to become the Player's vessel. she hates this, but for the fate of the world and the fact that she seems to be doing just fine as a vessel, she ends up becoming the Game's protagonist.

aside from the main conflict of "go defeat evil and save the world", this story centers a lot around the Player being able to make whatever choices they want regardless of what Alisia and Kyer want. and boy do I have plans regarding that

[thegreatyin]

honestly part of the reason i've been really looking forward to finally playing light fingers (aside from the obvious horrors and whatnot) is because it, alongside bag a legend, contains a Choice™ i to this day am Extremely Torn About Making. like i've known for ages that the Choice™ exists in this ambition and STILL i am undecided about it. this Choice™ is of course. well. let's just say that by the time this ambition ends, caeru may not be the only catboy around town
