#and the T-shirts last. and I like wearing stuff with dragons on

[flygonscales]

PAIN. MUCH PAIN. I was so pleased and happy about my new t-shirt. But then I look closer today and it probably is an AI generated image. FUCK. This company’s (spiral direct) generally been good in the past too! And it’s so blatant! Can’t believe how I missed this. URRRGHHHH. GOD FUCKING DAMN IT.

SPOILERS!!! REFERENCES AND EASTER EGGS IN F&C ep. 9: CASPER & NOVA (1 of 2)

I hit the image limit so this post will be in two parts.

These last two episodes feature traditional Adventure Time title cards with intro credits, which is something the others haven't had.

There is a butterfly floating above Fionna when she enters the "Land of Ooo". The same thing happened to Cake when she entered Ooo, and to Simon later on, but this butterfly doesn't have a face on it like those. This is our first hint that something is wrong.

The Betty statue in the background of this shot is on top of a four-faceted object that sort of resembles Glob's helmet; an item that she used to gain her magic powers in You Forgot Your Floaties. Also in this shot are several gnome fairies from The Enchiridion and Billy's Bucket List, and of course Mrs Cupcake and genderswapped Chocoberry. Mrs Cupcake has appeared before but I think Chocoberry is a new design for this episode.

This is our first and only look at what Hunter Wizard would look like. Mostly the same as his main universe counterpart.

This species of dragon first appeared in Memories of Boom Boom Mountain and has been in several subsequent episodes. I'm not sure who the giant cyclops is. It could be a genderswap of the cyclops from Another Way, or perhaps the rock giant from Five More Short Graybles.

Lots of the text in this scene is hostile. There is this sign behind the counter, of course, but lots of the books on the shelf also have violent names.

This series loves giving us extremely fucked up Simons.

This background character looks like Phlannel Boxingday. It would be hilarious if that was the case, considering he is widely assumed to have been a disguise of Princess Bubblegum rather than his own character.

This might be genderswapped Tiffany. She's wearing Tiffany's pink shirt under her jacket. Maybe she has a masculine name in this universe.

We get a better look at the newspaper from the first episode, featuring Betty. It also features the fake butterfly from the dream which feels like a bad omen.

Marshall Lee's t-shirt features the cake pop from Princess Bubblegum's rock shirt, first seen in What Was Missing.

The Lich first mentioned being a Scholar of GOLB in the episode Whispers. In this episode it is confirmed that he has been working towards his goals in GOLB's name. But it doesn't seem like he's actually had any line of communication with GOLB this whole time. GOLB doesn't seem to appreciate The Lich's efforts to wipe out all life; and now that GOLB is fused with Betty, they certainly don't.

The Lich rips off Billy's skin to reveal his skeletal form, which is the same as it was in Escape from the Citadel, complete with the metal plate on his ribcage.

GOLBetty turns the Lich into a tetronimo, implying that all of the tetronimoes surrounding them were once powerful beings who defied GOLB; perhaps they are even all alternate versions of The Lich.

Shermy and Beth! This episode incorporates a lot of the extra lore that writer Steve Wolfhard published shortly after the release of Come Along With Me. It canonises the fact that Shermy and Beth are rebels who oppose the tyrannical rule of Gibbon, who is Charlie's future son from Daddy-Daughter Card Wars. This place is the Pup Kingdom, which is featured in the Come Along With Me title sequence and is a central part of Wolfhard's 1000+ lore.

These are the same kinds of soldiers as seen in Graybles 1000+ when Cuber interrupted the space wedding. In that episode, you only got a very brief glimpse of their jowls. This episode makes it more obvious that they are pups.

All of these pups in the windows are designs from Steve Wolfhard's "Every Pup Has a Power" series of drawings. They once had superpowers, but their powers were extinguished by Gibbon.

This is Jake's favourite mug from the episode Puhoy, and the house in the snowglobe is Tree Trunks' house.

There is a Shermy plush in this pile of junk. There might be some other recognisable stuff in that pile too. I think the popcorn machine is from something but I can't remember what, and the pool toy might be a reference to the Lub Glubs from Beautopia.

This is our best shot of the Pup Kingdom, with its space elevator.

Beth is a revolutionary communist confirmed.

Shermy Simon shouts breadballs, an expletive that he previously used in the episode Simon & Marcy.

The clouds in Fionnaworld are shaped like GOLB blocks while Simon is in the presence of GOLB. We also get a better look at all the glitched out buildings, like that door that leads nowhere.

I think the creature next to Gunter in this advert is a yeti from the show Summer Camp Island, which a bunch of Adventure Time alumni went to work on after the original show ended.

There is a poster for Super Porp, a fizzy grape juice introduced in the episode Dark Purple, along with their mascot Cheryl.

Jake is on these packages in one of the shops.

The Library looks incredible now. In the original show, only the top part with the dome could be seen sticking out of the ground. Either the ground has eroded away to reveal the rest of the structure, or the library has been greatly expanded over time.

Turtle Princess is dead and apparently a robot took over her empty shell and continues to work as a librarian. These are the first gun-books we've seen that also function as actual guns.

These are the pagelings from the episode Paper Pete. They're much larger than they used to be. They don't have many books left to protect these days.

Casper & Nova mention lodging in the seaside town of Scandia on their quest to find the crown. This is a reference to the fact that Simon and Betty found the crown in Scandinavia, as mentioned way back in Holly Jolly Secrets.

I hit the image limit! Link to the second part.

[crystalelemental]

I know you haven't read the manga yet, but I can't resist. What Pokemon that Dungeon Meshi characters would have? Doesn't have to be all characters, just the ones you want to do. And you can either assign one character with one Pokemon like Masters or an entire team of six, whichever works!

(Knowing them they'd probably just eat Pokemon, but still.)

Oh boy, okay, let's see if I can do this.

LAIOS Stoutland, Escavalier, Chesnaught, Slowking, Turtonator, Type-Null Laios was a little tricker, but only because I was overthinking it. Slowking feels like the most up his alley. Really specific and bizarre evolutionary method, coupled with the Oblivious ability. Chesnaught and Escavalier are here because he's their fighter, and those two feel like fighters. Stoutland because of his love of dogs, and Turtonator because he does still like Dragons, but he'd go with a weird one, and Turtonator has all sorts of weird biology stuff going on, so that feels like the right pick. While trying to think of really weird Pokemon biology that would draw him in, I thought about the Ultra Beasts, but then figured I'm trying to avoid the unlikely appearances, and went with Type-Null/Silvally. I think he'd have an absolute field day putting together what went into its creation.

FALIN Granbull, Audino, Larvitar, Tinkatuff, Noctowl, Hydreigon Falin feels actually difficult, if only because she doesn't have a ton of front-facing experience. Audino because healer designation. Granbull because of the dog thing, and Larvitar because that's...that's just her little buddy, it eats dirt and she thinks it's adorable. Tinkatuff because she'd love that it also wants to just beat things to death with a hammer. Noctowl is because of the general poster child for Foresight, a move that lets you detect and hit Ghosts with moves that othewise won't connect, which I think lines up with one of her talents. I struggled with the sixth for a while before going "oh right, this is the woman who wears a t-shirt with a skeleton in a stomach, she'd have a sense of humor about this," and gave her Hydreigon, the dragon creature that just devours everything.

MARCILLE Camerupt, Hatterene, Dachsbun, Dusknoir, Rabsca, Eelektross Camerupt because fireball/explosion magic, that just felt right. Hatterene because when made uncomfortable it will beat you to death. Dachsbun would remind her of Falin, so she definitely has one. Dusknoir, devourer of souls, would get that stance of "it's not evil, it can be used for good" vibe, while Rabsca has the revival move. After much deliberation, I went with Eelektross, because it is most visually akin to the noble Sky Fish. She does a Trick Room team.

CHILCHUCK Drapion, Pachirisu, Noibat, Nickit, Cottonee, Klefki Generally speaking, Chilchuck is not the fighter of the group, and thus keeps a lot of NFE Pokemon. However, they're all with specific utility. Pachirisu is Pickup, and generally high defenses and speed for its role. Noibat has sonar detection, Nickit can steal, and Cottonee has Infiltrator to get into spaces it needs. The first and last are the most specific to him. Klefki is the key set and general tools he needs for lockpicking and exploration. Meanwhile, Drapion is the offense. Dude hits every shot he takes perfectly, so Sniper Drapion with Acupressure feels like it lines up really well with him, being good team support and solid damage.

SENSHI Torterra, Naclstack, Miltank, Primarina, Leavanny, Lechonk This one feels a bit easier, because it's all just self sufficiency. Torterra grows vegetation on its back like the golems, Naclstack is salt production, Miltank is dairy, Lechonk is foraging, and Leavanny creates clothing. Primarina's the odd one out, but I figured he'd catch one because it reminds him of that Selkie he thought was his friend before it tried to eat him that one time. Only this one's nice.

IZUTSUMI Magmar, Bisharp Okay, this was the hardest one. Magmar because it gives off a lot of heat, she'd appreciate that given cat. Bisharp is because Defiant feels like an ability she'd gravitate toward, and Bisharp just feels like her type of fighter. I wish I could think of more for this but I'm actually stuck and I've been working on this for like half an hour so I'm taking a skip.

KABRU Gliscor, Nidoran-M, Gallade, Mawile, Musharna, Zoroark Giscor and Nidoran are both one-shot Pokemon with Guillotine and Horn Drill respectively. Gliscor can glide silently in the night so it really fits his assassin designation. There wasn't a comparable stealth killer for Horn Drill, so I opted Nidoran off the disarming factor. Gallade because he likes the idea of heriocs, and also will stab you. Mawile is a bit conceptual, but its presentation tends to be a bit catty, and it has a sort of two-faced vibe going between the cute and personable side and the side that is a fanged mouth that will bite you if you cross it. It just feels right. Musharna has Forewarn, which feels like his style. He deals in information, and having more information on a target is inherently advantageous; as such he'd want to have a means of identifying that information as soon as possible. On the other side of that is hiding his own intentions, which leads to Illusion Zoroark, keeping people guessing about what's coming. The majority of his team is physical, so it'd be a good fakeout option.

Thistle would absolutely have Porygon-Z as a funny little guy that casts gun, and a level 97 Yveltal in the back. He probably has other options but no one's seen them, don't worry about it too much.

[airalore]

Note from future me: I'm just gonna dump all my dragon age high AU stuff into one post, since this is a project that kinda died. I still think about it a lot, but idk if I'll ever go back to it. The text under the images are from my og instagram posts.

Sep 16, 2018: K, I'm excited about this one. I'm writing a fan comic about Dragon Age Inquisition, but it's told in the context of high school. I've only had time to draw this quick concept of teenage Dorian

Oct 3, 2018: This is Lavellan. She's wearing a shirt with my weapon of choice, the "Snake Blade."

Oct 3, 2018: He so fancy 😘

Oct 18, 2018: Lavellan just roasted some poor sucker. Dorian is weak. 😂

Oct 28, 2018: Welp, I stayed up way too late finishing this one. ripme 😩 This will probably be my last Inktober drawing, though, so I hope you like it! This is my take on Cole for my Dragon Age au!

Jan 10, 2019: Sorry for the delay! School is a beast! 🙃 But here she is, Cassandra Pentaghast: captain of the rugby, basketball, and fencing team, while also taking responsibility as the student body vice president. She's got a lot on her plate. 😅

Jan 27, 2019: Messing around with AU Solas designs. My inspiration coming heavily from concept Solas. Should I roll with the dreads or keep him bald?

(Future me here: I would definitely drop the dreads lololol, my man is not black)

April 5, 2019: "The First Meeting."

(Future me again, yes this is Cullen and Lavellan and they would have been adorable in this au T-T)

[ballonleastadiumofficial]

@dragon-tailz 🌷 a time my muse said they loved yours. 

Do tell, won't you? (¬ᴗ¬)

Wyverlyn seemed convinced that Bede sorely needed her help to have fun. At least, when he told her he’d never participated in a sleepover before (something he’d never felt any sorrow over “missing out on”), she’d jumped at the nearest chance to rectify that. It was as if she thought his life teetered over some chasm of mundanity, and required a heroine to thrust it out of reach of the murky depths. Hm. 

That was how the two ended up lazing about Opal’s living room. Bede sat up against the dark colored sofa, wearing magenta pajamas patterned with spiral psychic type symbols and holding his Stuff-a-Stufful plush in the crook of his arm. Wyverlyn, in contrast, lay sprawled out on the carpet, head resting on a purple ottoman. She wore a soft cotton Charmander t-shirt mismatched with Alolan Exeggutor pajama bottoms. Some of their pokemon, too, were out and about: Mawile had stretched herself over Bede’s lap, Pickle the Dreepy floated lazily near the ceiling, Budew drowsed on the windowsill, and Odette the Altaria perched on the arm of one of the large chairs, humming idly. The world outside the window was dark and sleepy, save for the soft glow of fungi in the distance. The same could be said for the trainers’ eyes- obviously, they were attempting to stay awake as long as they possibly could. 

Bede brought a hand to his mouth and yawned. “You realize I’m going to be a less than ideal host, don’t you? I’ve never done this before, and I’d say I’ve already run out of ideas as to what we should do.”

Wyverlyn sat up, causing Pickle to turn his head with interest. “Well, that’s okay! I knew what I was signing up for! Let me show you a good time. It’s my turn to pick what we do, anyway.” She thoughtfully tapped her chin with her finger in just the same way Bede tended to. At first, he was convinced she was mocking him by doing it, but now he wasn’t so sure. Perhaps she was just the sort of person to pick up habits from those around her. “Well, there’s always the classic- truth or dare!”

Bede clicked his tongue with disdain. "And I suppose we're ten years old, now?" 

"Don't knock it til you try it! Here, I'll go first. Ask me."

"...Truth or dare?" Bede mumbled with a sigh. 

"Hmmm… truth." A playful twinkle danced in Wyverlyn’s eyes as she made her choice. Bede raised an eyebrow at her. "What? Did you think I’d choose dare? Why would I do that when I don’t have anything to hide? I’m actually excited for you to learn something about me, silly.”

“Hmph.” Bede eyed her with puzzlement, his violet eyes betraying his exasperation. He couldn’t fathom what it must be like to lead one’s life like that. Feeling vaguely put on the spot, he glanced around the room as he searched for a question. Finally, he raised a hand and pointed, thumb out and palm facing the sky, at the Altaria across the room. “Fine. Just how was it that you met that one? If my memory serves, Altaria can’t be found on mainland Galar.”

“Oh, that one’s easy!” Wyverlyn smiled brightly and sat up, scooting forward on her knees to give Odette a scratch under the chin. The flying type pokemon reacted with a pleasantly surprised soprano trill and leaned into her trainer’s hand. “I got her during my family vacation in Paldea. I was on a hike with my parents in the South Province… we were on our way to Mesagoza, I think. The area we were in was pretty mountainous, so we were kinda sidling our way over to the city to grab some food and fill our bellies after such a rough walk. Oh, but Bede, it was so absolutely worth it for the view! And the pokemon, of course.” She gave a sly look at Odette as she said that last part, who chirped with satisfaction. “Anyway, Odette was a Swablu back then, hopping around among the rocks. I remember seeing her and just, I don’t know… something clicked, okay? And since she was all alone, with no flock in sight, my parents were fine with me catching her. Which I’m so glad about! She’s such a great friend!” Wyverlyn’s gaze hovered nostalgically on Odette for a moment as she stroked the pokemon’s neck, until suddenly her head whipped around to look at Bede with mischievous intent. “Alright! Your turn! Truth or dare, my friend~?”

Bede’s eyes widened ever so slightly, despite his attempts to hide his surprise. He cleared his throat, taking a moment to collect himself. “Truth, I suppose. I’ll follow your lead,” He said with an attempt at a nonchalant wave of his hand. Wyverlyn’s smile gave him the feeling that he’d made the wrong choice.

“Truth, huh?” she said, shifting her body toward Bede and cradling her chin in her hands. “Well… You know I tell you I love you all the time, but you’re a liiittle harder to read from my perspective… so my question is, what exactly do you think of little old me?” Wyverlyn wheedled with a knowing smile. 

Bede stiffened, sitting up straight as a board. Mawile had to readjust herself on his lap. “I take it back. Dare.”

“I dare you to tell me you love me.”

“...You had both of those prepared, didn’t you?”

“Maybe~”

Bede watched her with a sense of irritability, then suddenly looked away to stare at nothing in particular. His pale eyebrows were furrowed, and he ran a hand over Mawile’s iron jaws in a subtly fidgety manner. 

The clock on the wall ticked. Ticked. The stale air hung thickly around them. After a moment or two, Wyverlyn’s expression shifted into one of concern. “You know, Bede, you don’t actually have to say anything you don’t want to. It’s just a game, y’know? I can just-”

“I love you.”

It was so quick and quiet, one could have blamed it upon the wind rustling through Ballonlea’s trees. A smile stretched across Wyverlyn’s face from ear to ear. “Awwww, Bede, really?”

He turned back to face her, conflicted expression already plastered over by his usual smug one. “Obviously, I had to say it. Else you’d go around telling everyone Ballonlea’s gym leader Torchiced out of a trifling little dare. Be grateful I have a reputation to uphold.”

“Bede, you know I wouldn’t-”

“Tsk!” He interrupted her with a sharp hiss between his teeth. After that, the two sat for a moment in contented silence…

[buggybestfriend]

hey mar ^_^ Thinking of the ask u sent me last night what are some plush brands that u like?

Oh ! I have some lovely brands for you, here are my five favourites !

1. Jellycat

Jellycat is an awesome brand, their plushies are super soft and cute. I own four, and they're all awesome quality. Another thing that I find great is that they have their Safety + Sustainability Policy and their Modern Slavery Statement at the bottom of their website, perfectly accessible.

A special thing that makes me love this brand even more is that they have a Retired Jellycats page ! It has all of the Jellycat items that are no longer available, sorted by year. No other brand that I know of has anything like this

2. FAO Schwarz

FAO Schwarz is an amazing brand that sells much more than just their own plushies, including stuff by other brands and other types of toys.

A detail that makes this brand so so dear to me is that all of their own stuffed toys come with a little red envelope that contains an adoption certificate ! It really helps you bond with the plush, in my opinion at least.

3. Build-A-Bear

Build-A-Bear is quite a popular brand so you probably know all about it but it is still one of my favourites.

I absolutely adore how you can customise your new friend so much, with scents, heartbeats, voice boxes, clothes, and many other accessories to choose from you're sure to find the perfect plush for you ! (Note: BABWs also have a "pay-your-age" thing on birthdays where however old you are is how much you pay ! Ex. 12 year olds pay 12$)

4. Pillow Pets

Pillow Pets are also an immensely popular and widely known brand, and for good reason too ! Their plush-pillow combos are positively adorable and sure to become a permanent fixture of your bed setup.

Obviously the fact that they combine pillows and stuffed animals makes them super unique, but their collection of different animals and characters is amazing. My personal favourites are the bee, the ladybug, and all of the scented animals !

5. Manhattan Toy Company

The Manhattan Toy Company is really just your typical stuffed animal and kids' toy brand but I have to include them because I love mine to bits, they are so so cute and just overall perfect.

Extra: My Plushies

Here are my stuffed friends from all of the brands listed above !

First picture is my Jellycat Medium Dexter Dragon, currently unnamed with a collar I made myself.

Second image is my FAO Schwarz Great White Shark with his adoption papers, his name is Toby.

Third is my BAB Pawlette, wearing overalls and an "It's a Boy" t-shirt. She is in her pink carrier which makes it so much easier to bring her places especially when I have to use my hands. Her name is Honey.

Fourth is my Pillow Pet Bee, named Clown.

And last but not least is my Manhattan Toy Company Pig, Sam-Sam. I also call him Sam or Sammy.

[vex-bittys]

Happy ace week!!!!!! We’ve brought some stuff for the shop! Cakes, dragon necklaces and figurines lil ace rings for lil lamia fingers, t shirts that read “I’ve got an ace up my sleeve. It’s me. I’m in these sleeves.” One shirt has a checklist that has a checklist. It says “interested in: men, women, both” all crossed out with “neither” scrawled beneath and checked. Blankets that read “Netflix and no thanks” and “violets are blue, roses are red, I’m ace, so let’s cuddle instead.”

*I missed Ace week! It happens on the last full week of October and was October 23 through October 29 this year. Thankfully, we are always aware of and respectful towards ace folks in our shop.

*As you hand out the belated gifts, you notice that some lamias already have pins with the asexuality pride flag on them. Many lamias slither forward to take rings and necklaces, and you hear supportive cheering from the other lamias.

*You even spot a few other funny shirts like a Corny wearing a shirt with a galaxy in the asexuality flag colors that says “Space Ace” and a Honey Bo with a sweater that says “World’s okayest asexual.”

*Cake is handed out and consumed, shirts and blankets are collected by excited lamias who enjoy being seen and celebrated, and it turns into a wonderful party even though it’s a bit late. All of the lamias in the shop give you a hearty cheer, and the asexual ones seem to be cheering the loudest!

[clear-what-i-was-seeing]

Get to know me 

tagged by the wonderful and amazing @petrowriting!! thank you <3

Share your wallpaper: 

This one’s my home screen, I took a photo of a cabbage when I was like 12 years old and did something to invert the colours and have had it ever since lmao. My lockscreen is this fanart of Will Graham because it’s amazing and gorgeous and I’m obsessed with it

The last song you listened to: Through Me (The Flood) also by Hozier alksdaslkdhf. i’ve been obsessing so much it’s such a good song. i have maybe described listening to this song as a religious experience too many times for someone who has never had an actual literal religious experience 

Currently reading: 100 pages into the Red Dragon book and it is a trip lmfao. it’s so fun seeing the ways the dialogue was repurposed, and the prose is wow, but ohhh boy. thomas harris. babe. get help<3

Last movie: Jane Austen Book Club! i love grigg very much despite his stupid name. gonna start alternating between hugh dancy and mads’s movies bc I’ve been doing that accidentally I think lmao. Last three movies I did went like Confessions of a Shopaholic -> Charlie Countryman -> Jane Austen Book Club. but on the other hand I deeply need to watch like four hugh dancy movies as soon as possible for emotional reasons 

Craving: For it to be like a week from now so I’m healed from my wisdom teeth surgery. also to have no work or responsibilities for a month and just be able to write and read hannigram fics aslkdf. 

What are you wearing right now: this is my first time not being in pyjamas since getting the aforementioned wisdom teeth out lmfao. black pants and dark blue t-shirt

How tall are you: 5’3 </3

Piercings: love the aesthetic yet terrified of getting it done and also them catching on things. I got these clip-on gothic glow-in-the-dark dragon earrings a bit ago from a targeted instagram ad (my first and last time ever doing so) because I have zero impulse control, and they broke immediately. 

Tattoos: none, but have been microwave-spinning the concept of getting a hannibal tattoo since I watched. the heart from primavera would be so cool

Glasses? Contacts?: Glasses, my eyesight is deeply blurry without them

Last drink: classic water, big big fan of the stuff. reminds me of nbc hannibal because because there was water in the show a lot

Last show: watched two episodes of The Last of Us at like 5am yesterday, it was great. also perpetually rewatching hannibal by getting everyone I know to watch, and then watching with them

Last thing you ate: soft tofu in broth. there are, not a lot of vegan post-wisdom-tooth food options (also I’m very picky lmao), so I’ve been rotating between that, vegan ice cream, mashed potatoes, and vegetable smoothie for like 3 days. 

Favorite color: ohhh this is painful, is it a cop-out to say all of them? Big big fan of purple, orange with purple, green, and blue. 

Current obsession: it’s been hannibal and nothing else for 9 months now, and im going strong

Unrelated obsession: not sure if this counts exactly but there’s a writing app where you set a timer and start typing, and if you stop typing for longer than 5 seconds it deletes everything, and it’s so cool. I’ve been calling it stream-of-consciousness writing in my head for like a year bc it’s like a personal stream-of-consciousness even though ik that is not how to use that term alksfhd. I do 3 or 5 minute sprints and store them in one document, then have a second document where I edit and refine, and for a few I’ve put them side to side and colour-coded all my changes and it’s so fun

Any pets: two cats! Miles, my grey one, is extremely sweet, and possibly too smart for his own good. My other one Chico has a very adorable snaggle-tooth, and is incredibly stupid <3. he’s very bad at knowing what direction he’s going or recognizing any parts of the world around him and I love him very much.

Do you have a crush on anyone?: only in that vague abstract way, almost without direction, catching little wisps of the concept of the feeling from scattered bits of interactions with the world around me

Favorite fictional character: im absolutely refusing to choose between hannibal and will so im listening them both and you can’t stop me

The last place you traveled: i’ve literally gone nowhere since the pandemic started </3. i’m in Canada and the furthest I’ve been is just one city to another in the same province like 1.5 hours away. Hopefully going to Italy in the summer though!!

Tagging: @stranded-labyrinth, @valentinsylve, @elvislefilm, @disaster-vampire, @sacha-da-1, @dreamed-itself-waking, @em0fagz, @cannibaltranssexual, @hisjimct, @im-urchin, @ghostforwhat, @f0undationsofd3cay, @det395, @a-pigeons-soliloquy, @mysterist, and anyone else who wants to!

zero pressure, also i’m always v forgetful with tagging so if i missed anyone sorry and ily! 

[barmadumet]

Tag game to better know you

Thanks for the tag @thetorontokid ❤️ This feels very aol 1998 and I love it!!

What book are you currently reading?

Nothing 🫣 I started Brotherhood and never finished it if that counts as “currently reading.” I will finish it when time allows!

What's your favourite movie you saw in theatres this year?

I don’t think I’ve been to the moves since TROS 😂

What do you usually wear?

LOTS of t-shirts of all different sizes depending on mood. And they’re worn with jeans, cargos, or skirts. Love a good kimono to dress it all up.

How tall are you?

5'4"

What's your star sign? Do you share a birthday with a celebrity or a historical event?

Scorpio ♏️ I have the same birthday as Ming-Na Wen! Which is fun, bc Star Wars, but also bc I was obsessed with Mulan when it came out and all through my teen years… so much so that I put a dragon on my class ring instead of the school mascot like a normal girl 😂

Do you go by your name or a nickname?

Nickname here (Barma) and a different nickname irl.

Did you grow up to become what you wanted to be when you were a child?

I was supposed to be an unwed psychologist with 4 cats. None of those happened 😂 (I have always had strange ambitions 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Are you in a relationship? If not, who is your crush if you have one?

See above lol - Married! 💍

What's something you're good at vs. something you're bad at?

I’m good at putting myself in other people’s shoes. I can find sympathy for ANYONE even if popular opinion says it isn’t deserved. I’m always looking for the reasoning behind a person’s actions and am quick to defend.

I am very bad at taking criticism, so much so that I’ll avoid putting myself out there at the risk of negative feedback. I am a perfectionist, and I’m bad a failing! I’d rather not even try than run the risk of failure. This online persona has helped with that tho 😊 Barma is less afraid 💪

Dogs or cats?

See above lmao - Cats! 🐈

If you draw/write, or create in any way, what's your favourite picture/favourite line/favourite etc. from something you created this year?

Idk if my writing counts since the chapters I’ve put out so far this year were originally written last year or the year before… so I’ll say my Valentines obikin photo session 😃

What's something you'd like to create content for?

I just want to keep doing the obikin thing, because it makes me happy. Fingers crossed for new story ideas after the current WIP wraps. 🤞

What's something you're currently obsessed with?

Well, it’s always going to be Star Wars, but specifically rn, I’m finding a renewed appreciation for Boga🦎 It’s a whole healing process thing.

What's something you were excited about that turned out to be disappointing this year?

2023 is still young! I am excited about May 4th this week, finishing my fic in July, and my road trip to get a tattoo to commemorate it. REALLY hoping none of those will be disappointing.

What's a hidden talent of yours?

Financial planning/advising. No, it’s not what I do for a living, but I’ve often helped friends, family, and even businesses with creating budgets, debt consolidation, and all that good stuff. Maybe it’s what I should be doing for a living, but that whole fear of failing thing 🤷🏻‍♀️

Are you religious?

I can’t not be. I’ve experienced way too much 🕊️

What's something you wish to have at this moment?

Tagged by @rednyx-sf, thank you so much, I really enjoyed answering these. 😊❤

Name: V or Virág (it means flower)

Sign: Leo

Time: 11:21

Favourite band/artist: I don't really have favorite artists anymore but I do like the songs of these bands: The Amazing Devil, Coldplay, Linkin Park, Imagine Dragons, Our Last Night and Bagossy Brothers Company. I also like a lot of artists because there are a lot of good songs on TikTok and in the radio but I can't really name any exact artists. I don't really care about the artist(s), I more interested in their songs.

Last movie: Sorstalanság/Fateless(ness) (A Hungarian film based on the only Hungarian, Literature Noble prize-winning book, Fateless(ness), which is about the Holocaust through a young boy's eyes. I needed to watch it because of my literature final exam. It was... Really sad and deep.) (I don't know whether Fateless or Fatelessness is the official English title because google shows both but if I translate the Hungarian title literally, it's the second one.)

Last show: Either Young Royals (s2) or Heartstopper (s1), I'm not sure.

When I created this blog: A few years ago so if you deep dive (please don't) you'll find The Witcher post and other stuff I don't even remember anymore.

Other blogs: Only a Hungarian one but I don't like to use it because the Hungarian side of Tumblr is really depressing.

Do I get asks: Usually only prompts/story ideas but I love them so please keep them coming. ❤ (You can send normal asks about anything, too. 😊)

Followers: 106 people, about five of them are the ones I usually see interacting with my posts. 😃 (I joined this fandom with about 10-20 followers so the majority of this 106 are here because of F1.)

Average hours of sleep: When I was in school it was 5-7 but now it's summer so it's 8-10, depends on how late I go to sleep and how tired I am in the morning.

Instruments: I used to play the piano but I didn't like my teacher's personality and teaching method so I stopped. I miss it sometimes, especially when I see Charles or other drivers playing it. (I wanted to learn playing the violin but as I heard it's really difficult and expensive, so it still is only a dream. As well as wanting to learn to play the guitar. Fun fact: I am right handed but if I were to learn to play the guitar I would want to play it with my left hand because for some reason it feels more natural to hold the guitar that way, on my left thigh. Kinda strange, I know. 😃)

What I am wearing: Black knee-length shorts and a burgundy Ric Rodeo t-shirt.

Dream job: I'm lucky enough to study what my dream job is (graphic design) but there was a phase when I wanted to be a clothes designer, but I let the idea go because I only like drawing the clothes but not making them.

Dream trip: I wanna go to a beach because I have never been to one. And I also want to visit Italy because I really like it and I also am interested in art history so I would love to visit museums and statues and everything related to it. Also, I wanna go to the Van Gogh museum in the Netherlands because I follow them on Instagram and I really like their posts.

Favorite song atm: At the moment, it's Tattoo by Loreen but it changes a lot nowadays because of TikTok. 😃

Tagging: @charlosgoggles and @russellius (No pressure to do it if you don't want to. 😊)

Tagged by @drumlincountry, ok, let’s do this!

What are you currently reading? I’m always reading multiple things, but most actively ‘unto others’ by Elliot Sober and David Sloan Wilson

What’s your favorite movie you saw in theaters this past year? I haven’t gone to the cinema in years, I think the last thing I saw in the cinema was Kingsman the Golden Circle in Oh God 2017. But I’m looking forward to seeing Dungeons and Dragons Honour Among Thieves in the cinema this year!

What do you usually wear? Depends on the weather really! As long as it’s cold enough for it it’s a lot of hand-knit sweaters. In summer it’s simple t-shirts or button ups, usually with floral patterns. In between a lot of long-sleeved button ups, preferably also patterned, with a thin sweater over them, depending. I’ll usually wear stompy boots, leather sneakers, or birkenstocks depending on weather, and a simple bomberjacket in summer or my brown long heavy wintercoat in winter. With my flat cap, of course, but not inside.

How tall are you? 5′10 or 1.78 if you are sensible

What’s your star sign? Do you share a birthday with a celebrity or historical event? I share a birthday with the massacre at Sebrenica during the Bosnian genocide, the reaction to which made it a turning point in that war (NATO got involved, which saved a lot of lives and tankies can stuff it). That makes me a cancer.

Do you go by your name or a nickname? I go by my name, I picked it so I might well use it no?

Did you grow up to be what you wanted to be as a child? Not really, child me wanted jobs that required me to be way less of a klutz than I am.

What’s something you’re good at vs. something you’re bad at? I’m very good at knitting and formal analytic thinking and very bad at understanding dishonesty of all kinds. Unless I can tell from factual evidence that someone is lying, I will most likely keep operating under the assumption that they are acting in good faith

Dog or Cats? Yes

If you draw/write, or create in any way, what's your favourite picture/favourite line/favourite etc. from something you created this past year? ‘“We caught some… spies, I think, your majesty. We’ll bring them downstairs for questioning. We don’t…. we don’t think they are dangerous.” The taller boys’ expression turned distinctly insulted at that.’ (a fic I’m still working on)

What's something you would like to create content for? I would enjoy making more decorations for my home

What’s something you’re currently obsessed with? Longform Dresden Files fanfic from 2013. Don’t ask.

What’s a hidden talent of yours? A lot of people need a surprisingly long time to figure out I have a sense of humour

Are you religious? Yeah

Are you in a relationship? Nope. Friends are good though, including those with benefits.

What’s something you wish to have at this moment? The ability to go to sleep directly after going to bed

Tagging @queerangelic @daisies-on-the-windowsill @takokotakopus @offthephones

[louwhose]

Tag Game to Better Know You!

Send this to people you’d like to know better!

Thanks for the tag @playinggalaga and @tired-twili! And @aheavenscorner so I actually remember to do this lol

What book are you currently reading? Rereading Mistborn. Yes, the Final Empire, because I have been procrastinating for months but hope I can get the Lost Metal and I desperately need the refresher on everything.

What’s your favorite movie you saw in theaters this year? Lightyear is the only one I saw in theatres this year.

What do you usually wear? Jeans and a t-shirt

How tall are you? 5'6"

What’s your Star Sign? Do you share a birthday with a celebrity or a historical event? Gemini and I don't know anything cool about my birthday beyond it's my birthday

Do you go by your name or a nick-name? most people call me by my name but I have a couple of sisters that usually call me "lou"

Did you grow up to become what you wanted to be when you were a child? uncertain of what I wanted to be as a kid. but considering that I'm not some fantasy wizard or dragon or something... no?

Are you in a relationship? If not, who is your crush if you have one? u m. no. and no specific crush (irl- if we're talking fictional that's a whole nother ball park) at the moment beyond thinking approximately half the people I ever meet are cute

What’s something you’re good at vs. something you’re bad at? being extremely weird with people I know vs. any form of socializing at all with strangers

Dogs or cats? CATS. no question.

If you draw/write, or create in any way, what’s your favorite picture/favorite line/favorite etc. from something you created this year?

still unashamedly most proud of this:

and pfft as if I remember what I write but I dug through stuff real quick and found this

He turned to see what it was. And there, leaning against the wall, in a loving embrace around each other, were two bodies that had finally given out after lasting far too long. It was a tragedy, but also not. They had fulfilled their destiny, and now they were truly free, and their souls were now bound to nothing but their own desires.

What’s something you would like to create content for? Dwight In Shining Armor. I do create content for it but not enough. Not enough.

What’s something you’re currently obsessed with? Zelink duh.

What’s something you were excited about that turned out to be disappointing this year? lots irl but that's a little too personal. um, I guess I'll go with miraculous ladybug. just the fact that this is the year I lost interest in it says something about my feelings on it.

What’s a hidden talent of yours? not sure what to say so something that people on here might not know that I can do is play the piano. not hugely talented with it and certainly don't practice enough but I can do it

Are you religious? yes. christian

What’s something you wish to have at this moment? an attention span.

Tagging no pressure and sorry if you've already been tagged but @deiliamedlini @farore-or-less @pastelsandpining and @whogirl2011

[fiddler-sticks]

Change of plans, my sister and I are gonna watch Avatar tomorrow. I've decided it's worth waking up early for. We may or may not go to the store I work at to get more snacks. If we do, I'm gonna suggest we go sometime during the watch party, instead of before. My least favorite coworker is gonna be there so my sister is gonna act as weird as possible so that we can make a clean getaway after we get what stuff we want

Anyway, we picked out outfits to wear, even though we're just gonna be sitting in the basement the whole time. She's gonna dress like an Air Nomad, since in basically every quiz she took she got Air Nomad, and I'm gonna dress Fire Nation because it's the best. She's wearing a yellow t-shirt with one of my orange button-downs open over it, and a skirt that has yellows and oranges and browns (as well as pinks) in it. I'm wearing black pants, my cream colored year of the dragon shirt, and a red flannel

In my continued efforts to make my sister a tea person, I'm gonna make her a different tea for every episode. We're gonna start out with jasmine green tea, because it's caffeinated and I don't want her to have that later in the afternoon, but then I'm gonna let her pick from:

Peppermint Chamomile Apple Spice English Breakfast French Vanilla black Bengal Spice (off-brand decaf chai lol) and I forget what the last one was and don't want to get up from the couch to go check

Anyway, it's gonna be a GREAT day, filled with lots of junk food and fangirling over everything. I might liveblog some, idk. I've already listened to the score, so there's really nothing to liveblog about except what most people liveblog, the plot lmao
