I walk quietly like a cat but it's not because I want to be a cat girl nor is it usually cause I try to be sneaky

The real reason is cause the sound of my own walking annoys me

"He almost never used Stanford. And He almost always used Stanley."

--

Another mini comic I couldn't get outta my head. I'm haunted by these two/pos

I remember making a post about Ford having the sole privilege of being allowed to use the nickname Lee. Well, I have a similar hc about Ford using the name Stan—it's not super happy. (Which is what the comic is centered on).

((Abuse mention tw for what I'm about to discuss.))

It's specifically about Stanford saying it when he's angry, upset, exasperated, etc. Because Ford can sound like their dad I fine when he yells sometimes. And with how differently Stan was raised compared to his twin, yeah, it doesn't mix well.

I was also inspired a bit by the fic "Clay Pigeons" by PoggoFroggo on ao3, which I was recommended. And you should give it a read! It goes more into the idea of Stan and Ford having two couple different childhoods by comparisons. (I also recommended their other Stan twins fic. They're all great.)

Marcia steals his leather jacket all the time. He thinks it's the cutest thing ever

once Two-Bit got jumped and knocked out and Marcia was the first one to find him and he made one of those stupid "holy shit I musta died and gone to heaven cuz there's an angel in front of me" jokes when he woke up and saw her

Marcia's really good at school and especially loves science, but has a hard time understanding new math concepts (although once she gets them down she's off and running) and Two-Bit is surprisingly good at math for some reason (he doesn't try in school but he does put in 0.000001 mL of effort so he can pass and move on to the next level. but only barely) so he explains the concepts to her without making her feel stupid

Marcia knows Two likes blondes and once joked about bleaching her hair and he was horrified at the concept.

Marcia's really good at chess?? Like really good. Two-Bit has no clue how to play and he is too confused by how it works to start learning now.

Marcia LOVES to be carried around by Two ALL THE TIME. She wants to make some dinner? Two-Bit is bridal-style carrying her down the stairs from her room to the kitchen. She wants to get snacks at the movies? Piggy-back ride to the concession stand.

the latter style also gives her an excuse to kiss his head and mess up & play with his hair

She carries an old makeup compact with his favorite hair grease and a comb with her at all times in case of an "emergency" (when she messes up his hair)

He also carries around some of her makeup in his jacket in case she ever forgets it

Marcia WILL kiss his face all over and she WILL get lipstick stains everywhere and he will NOT remove it. absolutely refuses to.

He also will reapply her lipstick for her after such cases

They love doing as much as possible for each other that way, they love just taking care of each other and holding each other and being in love and also being silly about it

THEY'RE THE TYPE OF COUPLE TO DO THAT TWO-STRAWS-ONE-MILKSHAKE THING

He'll also do her nails (traits achieved by having a little sister) and he loves it because he gets to focus on something and they just take turns rambling

He steals stuff for her all the time (she finds it endearing) but the two times he didn't was when he got her a gift for her first birthday after they started dating (she then reassured him he didn't have to spend money on her just because it's a special occasion) and when he got her an engagement ring

He proposed to her at the drive-in (or where it used to be if it closed down)

Marcia and Two-Bit's sister (Tammy (short for Tamara (Two-Bit calls her Tamster))) get along slightly too well for Two's liking. they plot against him

It took Tammy a while to warm up to her but once she did they were an unstoppable force

Marcia will take her out to the mall to try stuff on and have a "girls day" every couple of months but Tammy refuses to let Marcia buy her anything so Marcia will report back to Two and he'll go out and steal things Tammy liked

I don't know if she'd go BUT if she did Marcia would help Tammy get ready for her school formal/homecoming/prom and teach her how to do makeup and Two-Bit literally cannot find the words to thank her enough because Tammy looks so happy and he never could've done that, not because he didn't want to, because he didn't know how, it's the 60's and he's a guy, she's a girl, yeah he's her brother but he has no clue how to make her comfortable in her femininity and such, and it just makes him love Marcia even more

Two-Bit actually learned how to cook a few meals because he felt like he had to give back to Marcia for loving him

He also picks up after himself when he's at her house even though he never does at home because he feels bad

Two-Bit has a big expectation of himself that he has to be happy and active and always moving and keeping up everybody else's spirits all the time that when Marcia does something nice for him or just holds him he's caught so off guard. he needs to be the little spoon sometimes okay.

Like he's so used to taking up space but with her he can just feel small and exist

He loves the gang and is so much more himself around them but he still has a Role and Marcia is on a whole other level of Two-Bit-esque weird that he can like, completely unmask with her once they've been together long enough

Early on he'd do something weird around her without thinking and go like "well, shit." because when he gets to be Too Much Himself it's driven people away in the past but then she finds it funny or endearing or she just doesn't react at all and he falls even more in love with her

It took him a long time to really learn that he didn't owe Marcia anything in exchange for her love

Marcia just wants to hold him sometimes also. In my head her parents are often absent and she doesn't have any siblings, so she'll just touch him or hold onto him a lot to reassure herself he's there and he's not leaving

Marcia will come over to Two-Bit's house sometimes and help make dinner or clean with his mom (they also get along well) or just spend time with all of them and it took them all awhile to not think of it as charity but Marcia just liked feeling like she actually had a family

They have THE most extrapolatory nicknames for each other. It starts off tame but it evolves to the point where their names and the nicknames have barely anything in common

on my dancer Two-Bit bullshit forever Marcia's house has a piano and she'll play music for him to dance to

this man has not missed one of Marcia's barrel races ever. he's there way earlier than he needs to be he stays until she leaves he is the loudest person on the bleachers.

Marcia started watching Mickey Mouse so Two-Bit would have someone to talk to about it

So there was a post a while back about Ben Solo always being told "don't do (x), that's how uncle luke lost his hand" when he was a kid - and I raise you: Elrond and Elros being told "don't do (x), that's how Maedhros lost his hand"??

Like, at Amon Ereb when the twins were newly acquired and refusing to eat their vegetables and Maglor is Mag-mothering them until Erestor, feral half-sane clinically depressed anarchist Avari hostage/patient/infiltrator and Certified Little Shit, hits em with:

"I would listen to the Lord Maglor, winyamor, he well knows the dangers that come to young elflings who don't eat enough vegetables - after all, that's how his brother lost his hand."

Elrond looks conflicted. Elros squints suspiciously. "Truly?"

Erestor, practically comatose since the massacre but ultimately saved from Fading by the biological compulsion to fuck with you, lays a hand over his heart. "I would never lie about such a thing! Just what do you take me for? This is a true tale and a grave warning - the Lord Maedhros' hand was tragically lost in the days of his youth, whilst he was still growing as you are. He refused to eat his vegetables and so, cruelly deprived of the strength it needed to grow strong, his body started to fall apart! First his fingers, then his thumb, and then his palm and wrist - all turned blue and dropped off!"

"No!" Elrond gasps. Elros looks both terrified and impressed. Maglor's face is scrunched up into something that the twins probably interpret as pained - at reminder of the horrors of limbs falling off! - but is actually just him busting a rib trying not to laugh.

"Yes!" Erestor cries with relish. "And it never grew back. All because he didn't eat his vegetables. Isn't that right, Lord Maedhros?"

Maedhros, a looming terror at the head of the table, scarred and solemn and impenetrable as his fortresses, narrows his eyes consideringly at the unfolding shenanigans and the rascal behind it. His conclusion? Fuck it. He gives a slow, solemn nod. Completely deadpan and exaggeratedly formal, because it may have been centuries since he last had his brothers smothering laughter at political dinners but the Finwëan sense of humour, once caught, is not an ailment easily cured.

Maglor conceals his wheezes behind his goblet as Erestor nods sagely to the wide-eyed twins, who suddenly seem a sight more interested in their vegetables.

So I went to the wiki page for the henghill Bullet & Brain mission of 2.2 looking for some dialogue I had missed and

a) I found something incredibly tasty that slotted into some other thoughts I'd been having, more on that on another day, and

b) I saw this super fun little trivia at the bottom, which!

I knew Penacony characters like Boothill took a lot of inspirations from old movies, but I didn't realize it was even in his and Dan Heng's relationship, that's so cool!!

It fits them very well, it's such a fun reference. "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" was an old buddy Western film (from 1969- nice) about a pair of outlaws. Butch Cassidy was the leader of a gang, and described as clever, affable, and talkative. Meanwhile, his closest companion, the Sundance Kid, was known as a man of few words.

Cassidy's original birth name was much more plain, but similar to Boothill, he took on a new moniker when he became an outlaw. "Cassidy" had been the last name of his beloved mentor, who taught him how to shoot and ride. And Sundance Kid was known as he was because Sundance was the name of his hometown, and it was the only place that had ever managed to catch and jail him, back when he'd been younger (also similar to Dan Heng, but ouch).

These two stick together like glue throughout the length of the film- through Cassidy's leadership of the gang being challenged, through a train robbery gone wrong, through being pursued by mercenaries, and even through fleeing to Bolivia and trying to start over together.

I don't want to say too much more, since the mission title is referencing one specific movie that I've never seen. I kinda wanna watch it now, though, just to see the inspiration that went into Boothill and Dan Heng and how they get along. I just think it's really sweet that these two were literally made to be the best of bros, how lovely is that. 💕

stupid concept step 1: i could just not do any of the inquisition romances

stupid concept step 2: for the purposes of my energetic little imagination, i could select a character that i didn’t romance from one of the other games instead

stupid concept step 3: SOMEONE was dealing the lyrium to our beloved rebel mages in da2, and that someone might have been called upon as the closest thing to an expert in lyrium tattoos, as well as just generally being a mercenary contact

stupid concept step 4: cadash was fully part of the kirkwall crew and varric kept her out of the story because she was on hand to help break him out, which she was going to attempt at the conclave, and they’re both definitely going to have an explanation figured out for fenris, aaaaany minute now

stupid concept step 5: here’s how me getting fenris a dwarf gf can still win

[yuihell]

Normal humans!AU goes like this Cordelia Sakamaki was a supermodel and film star known for her temper tantrums and penchant for big rubies and one day at the prime of her career (19) she marries Karl whose an old family friend and also like Logan Roy but funny and just a bit more evil. When she met him for the first time after turning 18 he had her and like 10 other girls stand in front of him like a creeper and later he told her that he had chosen her because she wore the least clothes but it was all Dior or something cringy like that. She only speaks to him 3 times after that. Anyway, she stops working, has triplets with Karl 3 minutes after he divorces his first wife, something that kinda makes everyone hate her, and his kids from that marriage still hang around the house for some reason. Cordelia thinks it’s weird because her son is Obviously going to inherit the family company/fortune/kingdom/cult/whatever DUH!! One day she realises that after carrying triplets for 9 months her body isn’t the same as before so she gets plastic surgery goes on ozempics and hires a personal trainer and personal chef but everyone on Twitter calls her botched (she has no friends she is chronically online) and also she soon realises that her husband’s entourage is less accepting of her gaudiness and quirks than the she’s used to so her kids become her only companion she plays favorites because that’s how life is sometimes and Kanato and Laito are her replacement friends and she starts sleeping with Karl’s brother because she’s crazy like that but also because the life that she’s living has lost all meaning and she feels no sense of control and Ayato is the friend she likes to ignore except someday Karlheinz start looking incestiously at his cousin and then Ayato is her lifeboat. But that lifeboat sinks or whatever and Cordelia is divorced and thrown out of the house and she very much regrets turning her nose at the prenup. Fast forward some years and Cordelia is a forgotten hag (she is 37) who hangs around her ex husband’s brother’s house most of the time and does coke and drinks red wine for breakfast. She doesn’t talk to her kids and they all pretend she’s dead. She still has some admirers but most of her old fans have turned her back on her after the whole homewrecking thing and the more progressive one left after she made offensive comment after offensive comment on Twitter, Instagram and SNL and she’s never seen as anything but the villain in the divorce because there’s like a 10 hour montage on YouTube of her cheating on Karl with his brother, saying how much she hates her kids (and other weird CPS call worthy things), mistreating staff and just being the reincarnation of the devil and at this point the only people who stan her are white gays on Twitter who use old pics of her to gain interactions and post stuff like

“She was never the villain the world made her out to be 🥺” *Insert pic of Cordelia smiling at baby Laito.* and the comments are filled with

“She was so misunderstood.”

“Cordelia is so kind ❤️”

“Oh that’s not-“

“Isn’t she like super problematic?”

“The world truly hates strong women. I wish I could hug her and warn her about the future.”

“PUSSY IN BIO.”

See on one hand I am not holding out hope for more murderbot books (girl I am not watching the show lol)(I am sure Alexander skarsgard did a lovely job but i can’t even listen to audiobooks where voices don’t match up so.) because the end of system collapse felt very much like an Ending ending wrapping up where everyone’s going, secunit taking active steps to healing and recovery, going down the list of characters and what they’re going to be up to etc etc. that said. Please bring holism back 2k25 please please please I’m nothing.

unrelated to the previous post plurality is also funny because obviously my syscovery is going into my waytelem, my songcord, and the way I’ve chosen to open that stanza is just. Lie si oe Vìrìtienur, which is a perfectly sensible sentence in Na’vi, but because lie si doesn’t translate perfectly back to English, the translation comes out as “I experience Viridian,” which. fuck dude I sure do. that sure is one way to describe that awakening experience LMAO
