Hey i've been thinking about your AU where Chuuya joins the ADA and his ability reverts go being an ability amplifier.

What happens when he and dazai touch then? The simple answer would be No Longer Human trumps chuuyas ability, and it just gets nullified. But i think there is a high chance they interact and create a singularity! It fits them so well for their abbilities to go so strongly against each other they end up joining up and creating something even greater

Ever since I brought up the concept [x] [x], many have wanted to talk about this issue [1] [2] [3] I am on my knees begging everyone to explore this concept too I can't be the only one playing in this space you all have ideas worth exploring PLEASE

I've been very against skk making a singularity in the past but I've mellowed out in the (checks notes) last year and now I'm more interested in how a singularity could happen between those two abilities, if Dazai nullifies everything without exception. Dead Apple already played with Dazai's ability interacting in strange ways with others, when Shibusawa was able to separate and crystallize it like the rest, and also how it created a singularity with the ability to attract abilities and the ability to fuse abilities. So maybe skk can't create one together on their own, but through a third party they're both interacting with? potential potential

That's actually an alternative I considered! If Fukuzawa's ability gave Chuuya complete control over his ability, but Chuuya only ever knew his ability as what the lab turned it into, maybe Chuuya would subconsciously still try to make it do its thing? But for some reason it's harder now, and he has to concentrate on it a lot more, and it doesn't seem as powerful by default? It would be a frustrating mess ("this ability sucks! why is having more control making it more difficult?!"), and could still lead to Chuuya accidentally enhancing someone's ability.

In that version, Chuuya would still have his gravity control on top of his enhancing, because he's actually consciously creating a singularity on demand, instead of always using one. Not sure what that could mean about Arahabaki/Corruption, but I think the idea of skk, without explaining anything, leaving the ADA together to go test out those new limitations, and then coming back to their coworkers scratching their heads about the forest that became a warzone just outside the city is really funny.

Silco and Vander spending years as bitter enemies, with now wildly different ideals on how to get their city respected/at peace/freed, etc. and .... still having the annoying and absolute realization that they still won't achieve anything if the other is gone;;

Vander is the first one who makes it obvious, the day someone tries to attack Silco and he and his people show up to beat them up get them to fuck off. It leads to the first time seeing each other again since Vander tried to kill Silco himself, and it's NOT good, but they also still know each other best, still can read each other's gaze, etc.

Silco's way to "protection" is much more subtile, mostly because Vander has become the peaceful face of Zaun, sort of (how ironic), rather than the symbol of its freedom, but it still happens -- generally it's taken care of in shadows.

Eventually, of course, it becomes... sensible to communicate in SOME fashion. Sevika agrees the first few times to be a placeholder - then she grows annoyed and tell them to grow the fuck up; so they start sending letters again -- crypted, of course, with old-fashioned ways of doing it that only them still remember using from... Days long gone.

Vander, once again, is the first one to make it personal (another apology; a little reflexion on how his kids are doing; a "do you remember-"). Silco never answers those beyond "do you think I care? Focus on what matters now, if you please." right until one day he's the one bringing a memory up first.

Anyway, something something, the Kids, something something, Silco and Powder, something something, they both end up rekindling their relationship, forging a new, proper connection, never quite forgetting the past but trying to be stronger from it, and they raise teenagers together and free their city. Or something. At the very least both kinda judge their daughter when she starts dating a cop.

one thing i want to make certain we are all clear on, as i see more and more theories coming out already in the wake of go2, is that you can love and enjoy many different theories- even contradictory ones! 

i read one theory that made so much sense to me and i could see all of their points as laid out and i loved the idea of it and how it would come to be. and then i read a different theory that directly contradicted a lot of what was said in the theory i loved, and i loved this new theory too!! it was much more relaxed and didn’t have as many specific points to it, but it was fun and i could see it and i thought the idea of it was a joy!!!! 

the good thing about theories is that we have no actual idea which one is true, so we can delve into all these different possibilities!!! and we can look at them and see the truth or possibility in all of them. and liking one theory doesn’t mean that you are only allowed to think this one is true! 

so if you see me posting completely contradicting theories and saying “i fully believe in this” about both of them, there’s nothing wrong with that :)

internet! i'm in the market for longform youtube videos to watch as i do the slightly less taxing but lengthy parts of drawing and painting. i'm up for pretty much anything, funny stuff, video essays, streamers. been having kind of a doll customising moment. my only caveat is, and i don't know what to call it specifically, i don't like... i guess youtube cadence? like, talking like a children's tv presenter. the video could be really interesting and informative, but i always feel so patronised that i click right off. anyway, if there's a youtube channel you're dying to talk about, i'm all ears

I want an au to talk about here so bad so here's a post introducing my Combine Gordon au

Basically, the plot of the au goes as thus:

After the resistance uprising in City 17 began due to Gordon's return, Breen knew something had to be done with Gordon to prevent him from ruining everything he had worked for "for humanity". However, after killing Gordon didn't work, Breen realized that Gordon had a set of skills that the other combine soldiers did not. Thus, instead of continuing to send troops after him to kill him, he decided to reason with his "benefactors" to spare Gordon, and instead turn him into a combine soldier, giving the combine an upper hand against the resistance by removing their leader.

The advisors agreed, under one condition. They would keep gordon's skills and memories, but he will be altered in every other way, to the point where he can barely be considered Gordon Freeman anymore. Breen agrees.

Gordon is later captured in a combine ambush on his crew, and taken to the citadel to go through, as Breen calls it, "rehabilitation", where he's put through multiple surgeries to change both his genetic code, and to add multiple cybernetics, also effectively reprogramming him to be on the combines side.

With Gordon no longer a part of the resistance, its up to Alyx Vance to take the mantle of humanities savior. a task she was never prepared for.

"It's normal for siblings to fight" Okay well it's not normal to be extremely classist and look down on your sister for being non-conforming. Or to go to the woman who ordered the death of your pet to tell her about your father's plans, when he specifically warned you against doing so, because you want to marry the boy you saw attack your sister and her friend (contributing partially to said father's death and your sister being unable to escape on the ship he chartered). Or to think of your sibling as unsatisfactory in comparison to another when you believe her to be dead. I notice that none of the "Sansa and Arya are going to reunite and instantly have no issues" crowd ever acknowledge any of this, which makes it seem like they don't actually believe what they say about their relationship being normal and easily reconciled. People wanting them to have no issues simply because they're siblings is another example of how fandom likes to flatten complex characters and relationships. They get reduced to being bickering siblings when their conflict runs deeper than that. If the author is telling you that they have "deep issues" to work out [X], I don't understand being so adamant about ignoring said issues. I also get the sense it's about ignoring the capacity for a certain character to be flawed, but that isn't going to change the fact that her "slip of the tongue" is very likely to be revealed and a source of further conflict 🤷🏾‍♀️

across the world (in sixteen hours or less)

you know how you know nothing's gonna be okay again?

you lose your page again and again

you can't find your shoes

you pick up the phone even though you know you should stop

the happiest thing you can find is in a sad movie

and nothing changes

it's not English homework poetry where everything has to rhyme

you've got room now and it doesn't change a thing

your whole world is still your bedroom and some rock CDs

just like it was when you were five and ten and sixteen

there's no relief in the weather

because your weather's all the way across the world

(your brother's all the way across the world)

the rain is all the way across the world

the mountains you grew up with are outside your reach

the fog is still on that beach full of rocks

you still feel trapped

and you're never gonna see them again

xoxo.

how to flex your muscles when your bandmate asks you for help without making it obvious

[memento-morri-writes]

okay, this is really old, and I can only take credit for half of it, bc it's more or less a direct transcript of dialogue from a dnd session (taken from my "as close to verbatim as I could get" notes I took mid-session), but I still really like how it turned out, so here, take a snippet from the day Rook's world started falling apart.

(under the cut for length. tw for extremely brief vomit mention, and not really a tw but most of this scene is a very intense argument.)

Rook turned aside and vomited, collapsing to his knees. The world around him blurred. He was vaguely aware of the others moving in the distance, talking in quiet voices. His breath came in heaving pants as he tried to grip onto the rough stone floor. Footsteps, and a figure appeared at his side. “Are you okay?”  Maka. Rage flooded Rook’s mind. Without turning to look at him, he spat “Get the fuck away from me.” His voice came out broken and rough. Maka ignored him and pushed ahead. “Rook, I’m sorry if my actions of keeping quiet has hurt you. But I did it because I didn’t want to get us killed. I wanted all of us to stay alive. The more time he was with us, the less time the Children were being our enemies.” As Maka spoke, rage built up Rook’s body. Hot, white, blinding rage that filled his vision and mind until he couldn’t think of anything else. He hated Maka, perhaps more than he had ever hated anyone in his life.  Drawing his rapier, he turned to face him. “The more time he was with us. The more time he was with us?” Rook spat the words, venom filling his voice. “So you were just going to let that happen. To let Dr.-” His voice broke, but he plunged onwards. “To let him spend time with us. To let him spend time with me.” Maka raised his hands. “I didn’t want us to die. Any of us.” “You could have gotten rid of him. Told him to leave. Told us the truth.” “And if I had? The Children would have been our enemies. Would have killed us.” Rook shook his head. “You should have told us the truth.” He took a few steps forwards, driving Maka back with his rapier. “You hid that from us. That he was-” Again, his voice caught in his throat, unable to say the damning words. “You should have told me.” “I wanted to protect you. All of you.” Rook cut him off, pushing him back further with his rapier. “You call that protecting us? You call this protecting us?” He spat at Maka’s feet. “Fuck you. I wish you’d died back on Kroko.”

My favorite part of being alive is that I've never felt welcome in any space except for that one year when I thought I was a non-binary bisexual asexual girl when I was 13 :)
