#and fun and easy to make headcanons for

[llycaons]

I try not to fall into the trap of distinguishing High Art from Low Art but I do think some media/pieces of art are simply incompatible with being fandomized and I would be very weirded out if I saw like...a coffeeshop AU or an incorrect quotes or something for brokeback mountain. like, I don't think writing fic or making fanart is inherently disrespectful but like, read the room you know? take into account the very serious themes and well-crafted relationship dynamics and explore THAT instead of going 'that's depressing, here's my fix-it that misses the entire point of the movie' so yeah I guess some forms of fandom ARE inherently disrespectful and shallow no matter what type of media they're based off

like some media is made with awareness of and friendliness towards that kind of fan content, and some just isn't. and you can do whatever you want, but taking those stories and stripping them of their meaning to paste into a generic flower shop AU is beyond disrespectful, moreso than for a more lighthearted piece of media. like I've really loved these three movies I've watched this weekend, and I don't expect to consume anything about them except maybe that one illustration that introduced me to moonlit winter, and I consider that appropriate and I think simply watching the movie is going to be how I enjoy it

Oooo starstruck dee has little stars at the bottom of her feet! Are they just aesthetic or would they make imprints into the ground? (like pawprints)

exactly like that! though she's not the only one...

edit: might need to add some additional dialogue to this to make it more clear, but a clarification in the interim; he knows about his own footprints. he's just surprised to see something similar already there when he knows he's only just landed. he lifts his own shoe to confirm that they're not identical (and also to reveal this to the viewer). seems his stoicism beat off the clarity in this one, sorry 😭

I wonder how sentients would have sex with a being of a different species. I wanna know what would make them feel pleasure. I think they procreate asexually, but how do they pleasure themselves or get pleasured? I wanna know for science.

I'm actually really curious too for science- yeah for science, of course!

Okay, yeah the lore gives us nothing. Damn.

In continuation of my half-Nigerian Nebuya headcanons, I have decided to add more headcanons surrounding this.

-I was saying in the last headcanon post that Nebuya would for sure have a Nigerian name that his mother gave him, but at the time, I wasn't sure which name he would have. I decided today that his Nigerian name would be Chukwudi, meaning "there is God" in Igbo. I always felt that if he were to have a name, I'd for sure pick a name that used "chukwu" (meaning "God") because a lot of powerful/profound male Igbo names include "chukwu", and it just seemed to match Nebuya's energy.

-Whenever Nebuya calls family in Nigeria, he lets the others join if they're around. Akashi is the most interested in Nebuya's native language, so between him, Hayama, and Mibuchi, he knows the most Igbo AND Pidgin because Nebuya taught him. It's gotten to the point where Akashi can respond with simple words/sentences to Nebuya's family. He replies to Nebuya's aunts, uncles, and grandparents in Igbo and replies to his cousins in Pidgin. Nebuya's cousins also call Akashi "bossman", which Nebuya thinks is fucking hilarious.

-Speaking of talking to family in Nigeria, most of them will address Nebuya by his Nigerian name, but his cousins made a nickname out of his Japanese given name and call him "Chi Chi". Nebuya hates that nickname because, in Japanese, that nickname is a homonym with "boobs," and he refuses to be associated with that. His cousins don't give a fuck and still call him Chi Chi anyway. Eventually, Hayama picks it up and alternates between calling Nebuya "Ei-chan" and "Chi Chi."

-Nebuya also has a taste for Afro Beats and will blast it on the regular. There are a few artists he has on rotation, too. He probs listens to acts like Wizkid and Burna Boy. Popular classics.

-He can do a few Nigerian dances. Just a lil, though. He's not fond of being the center of attention on the dance floor, but he can do a few steps of something if you ask him to.

-Since Mibuchi likes to cook/bake, Nebuya teaches him a lot of Nigerian recipes. They end up bonding over food and Mibuchi is able to learn a lot about Nebuya's culture.

-Imagine if at some point, Nebuya's parents/other relatives grow so attached to Akashi, Hayama, and Mibuchi that they get sent kaftans of their very own to wear, and Nebuya helps them try them on. That would be so cute to see.

I'm super tired, and my eyes are drooping as I type, so I'll stop here, and if I want to make another part later, I will.

[necrotic-nephilim]

i love your fics and the ideas you describe for the ask games. i'm especially fond of your takes on the rarer pairings and i always smile when i see your posts in the ship tags <3

and don't stress too much about not posting anything, real life is important and participating in fandom should be fun, not something you have to force yourself to do. god knows fandom burnout is real, especially if you feel like people are expecting something from you. just keep doing what makes you happy :)

ghgfhgjhkjhjhg this was so sweet, thank you so much! i *love* talking about rarer rarepairs, especially if it gets other people to ship them too. the popular ships are fun and all, but i truly love spreading rarepair propaganda.

that's very reassuring, thank you <3 i've loved everything i posted here so far and have not felt pushed to post anything i haven't enjoyed, but sometimes i forget i can like. use this blog for whatever i want and not *just* headcanons/fics/mets/etc lol. and i also forget i don't have to rush myself. it's annoying to want to write and either not have time or not have the words work. i used to run a fandom blog in my teens that got very large and felt like a chore and i was so stressed about the need to perform and the numbers and all of that. like if a fic didn't do well i saw it as a personal failing and forced myself to write popular headcanons just for the numbers game. was not fun or sustainable in the long run and i think it contributed to me no longer having any taste for the ship i primarily wrote for. so for too long i treated existing in fandom like a job lol. i've mostly gotten it through to myself that this is a space for me, but i occasionally forget when i'm so caught up in all the things i want to get to for this blog. my to-write list is a mile long and i need to be bonked with a paper towel roll, i think. so it's very kind of you to say this bc the reminder is nice <3

Some attempts at a design for Selena :3. The second image is inspired by the wedding in Haunted Castle, but I changed Simon’s outfit cause idk I just can’t picture him being comfortable in a suit.

The last two of these are way more headcanon-y lol. They’re under a cut mostly in case my headcanons and story ideas change d(^^ ). One of them was inspired by a Kikuo song I was listening to while drawing lol, the song “Let’s Go to Heaven”.

Dagny Headcanon: Easter

Getting candy and painting eggs is fun and all, but what Dagny really looks forward to every Easter is the egg hunt that her mom sets-up for her. River waits until Dagny is asleep, and will go around the hideout that they're currently staying-in, hiding a number of plastic eggs around it for her to find in the morning. The kicker, though? None are directly in sight, and they all tend to be hidden in places that are quite challenging for the average child to find. But Dagny loves a good challenge, and enjoys it thoroughly, likening it as a precursor training of sorts to when she'll have to 'find' people as an assassin!

Especially finding the 'golden egg'. All of the eggs contain small things like candies and quarters, but the golden egg is the 'ultimate' prize, hidden in the hardest spot. This one usually contains a cool $20, or tickets to something she likes; or the best prize of all, one coupon to 'Request Almost Anything You Want from Mom'! Dagny usually uses this to get River to finally teach her 'assassin'-y things, like weak spots and even some moves to be used in order to bring down your enemies easier. Not that she can completely use them now but it's good info to stash away for when she's big!

Someday she'll convince her mom to do an egg hunt in their big warehouse hideout. She can't say 'it's too dangerous' forever, and Dagny knows there has to be a bunch of great places to hide eggs there!

With the smoker-Will discourse in the tag, I thought I would share this article that talks about how ST and the huge role of smoking in the first few seasons and a study related to it, has literally lead Netflix to vow to cut down on smoking in their content.

This is also part of the reason why we saw little to no smoking in s4 and also why we’re likely to see little to none in s5.

They’re lucky they have the excuse that it’s the end of the world so chain smoking would be a pretty shitty habit to find yourself in.

Anyways, sorry to the smoker-Will enthusiasts, but it’s looking like a pipe dream…

I like the idea of demisexual Cyrus for several reasons, not the least of which being that after so many years of genuinely having no idea what everybody is talking about about with this whole "flirting" and "giving people the wrong idea" thing, I think age 30 would a really funny time for him to get hit in the face repeatedly with actual sexual attraction

[prettyboyusopp]

Currently working on a little fic wip of precanon Usopp, (dk yet if ill ever let anyone read it) and only a couple k words in did i realize that i was writing Usopps and Yasopps relationship in a way that was actually just me working through my own feelings of having an emotionally immature and neglectful father. Usopp kinnies stay winning ✌️✌️✌️

Do you feel lonely? Do you ship Stacey and Neil and wish there was more community for this niche little rarepair?

WELL YOU’VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE!!!!!

Hi I’m @emily-mooon, the current Tumblr CEO of this rarepair. I’ve noticed that their tag is dead and I want to change that so I made this!

This blog will only have posts about them and nothing else. Do not expect anything else cause you won’t get it

Will you get them daily? No you won’t cause that will only last a week or so cause they don’t have many panels together. You will get reblogs of any stuff that is made for them (ie. fanart, text posts, fics when they exist, etc.). Like in the title card thingy, this is more of an archive blog if anything

The ask box is open for headcanon submissions and questions about this ship. It will always be open unless I say I have to close it for whatever reason

Also here’s the playlist I made for them! It has my taste, but I mostly focused on the genres they would like (along with songs and bands)

[As of the creation of this intro post, Nordegrim week will be starting on May 1st and end on May 7th of this year. Please @ this blog so I can see the posts and I’ll reblog them here]

Hope you all enjoy your stay here and I’ll do my best to keep this blog active!!!!

Btw this blog is also a safespace like my main. I will not condone any homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, antisemitism, islamophobia, or anything of the sort here. I figure this was important to mention here :]

another fallen london essay ramble whoo boy (i dont plan these btw) (spoilers for firmament and light fingers in particular plus general spoilers)

ok so do yall remember that one line in Firmament Chapter three where Summer drinks moon milk and looks directly at the player character and nothing happens? if not i get it, that section was pretty hard to follow and it was ultimately inconsequential and also optional so here it is

(from the fallen london wiki - Suggest Summer do it instead)

anyone whos played Light Fingers or is familiar with that plotline knows that this makes zero sense. even normal moon milk has extreme effect if ingested. and unless we're going to have some kind of toxic romance arc with Summer (which would be great but given the lack of foreshadowing and other aforementioned reasons is highly unlikely) we can chalk this up to sloppy writing and unfamiliarity with that ambition on whoever wrote this. such frustration seems to be the consensus on this chapter, at least on here

But! ive been following some liveblogging of early Light Fingers, reminiscing etc etc, when i remembered one other odd tie in to moon milk, in the cave of the nadir. now analyzing the nadir is similarly difficult to zenith because its very vauge and theres a lot of disconnected elements in there all in service of making a place thats confusing and dangerous and unknowable and whatever so take this with a grain of zalt. im sure theres some juicy deeplore in there but what i want to focus on is this

(from the fallen london wiki - "It was the milk... it was the milk, wasn't it?")

this is a weird callout, right? afaik thats one of the very few connections to an ambition in the nadir, alongside whatever the frost moth does in nemesis (havent gotten there yet). so like what gives? its not an especially rewarding action, and it doesnt progress the ambition or anything. its possible, given this comes after the orphanage section, that these two are like escapees of the orphanage after the fire / riot, but it could also be some disconnected memory its all very difficult to discern. and even if that is the case it doesnt really tell us much except maybe foreshadowing for Hephesta's situation. the best i can say is that, taken in context with the other options on that card, maybe its a parallel to Clarabelle's situation, with the references to eggs? there has to be some reason behind this reference, and if there isnt one, than at least let me headcanon this

i think the two instances above tell us very little on their own, but taken in together have fascinating implications. irrigo and violant are thematically opposed colors, forgetting vs remembering, and zenith / the nadir are explicitly connected both textually and in their names (zenith means the highest point of a space or object, nadir means the lowest), so that they both reference moon milk is interesting to say the least. I think this could be telling us that moon milk has different effects when under these two neathbow colors. Moon milk induced obsession seems to be resistant to the psyche destroying affects of the nadir, persisting for the two people in a place where memory is actively unravelled. the woman, even as she tells her companion to forget her, still clearly recalls the affect of the moon milk and her newfound obsessions. maybe this is somehow due to the milk's affect of overwhelming the victims previous life, in essence forcing them to forget what was previously important to them. or maybe, given irrigo's connection with lack of perception and drawing inward, the idea is that when the victim has nothing else to cling to in the nadir, the love instilled by the moon milk persists as a sort of internal source of comfort. in zenith, the violant light seems to dull or entirely nullify the milk's effects if that moment with Summer is to be believed. its stated that the violant forces the player character to be aware of every detail at once, able to perceive even distant objects with total clarity, splitting your attention everywhere at once. the way moon milk works is just an extreme version of a classic love potion: a victim falls deeply in love specifically with the first thing they see. maybe, because one perceives everything at the same time, the moon milk cannot properly take effect. or maybe the violant is just too oppressive, preventing the milk from occupying a victims thoughts as they are overwhelmed by the light.

whatever the case may be this is a very odd pairing. for a section so filled with moon misers, firmament has very little by way of references to Light Fingers, odd given thats one of the main places one would encounter a moon miser. no comment. and that moment in the nadir has always struck me as peculiar, if only for it being seemingly out of nowhere and disconnected to everything else. but moon misers are linked to apocyanic light with some degree of regularity, so i dont think its too great a stretch to connect them to other neathbow colors as well. one wonders how everyones favorite roof beetles might be affected by the other colors of the neath. even if im totally off base and disproven by some text in the high sancta or sunless skies or whatever there has to be something here im sure of it. or maybe ive lost it who knows certainly not me okay bye
