if scout were alive in 2023 i think Yung Gravy would take the place of Tom Jones as the guy he's basically fixating on

My brother is Scout if he were alive in 2023 and my brother is still fixated on Tom Jones. Apparently his newest album is good?

Galladrabbles: Mine

Thank you for this prompt @jrooc and @galladrabbles! Bringing you some BIL action with our favorite boys!!

Mine

“Look Bro, I don’t see what the big deal is; I’m just askin’ if he’ll kiss me.”

“Why the fuck do you need a dude to kiss you?”

“Just saying,” Iggy huffs. “It’ll get her off my case. Look, it’s not even real gay, just pretend.”

“And why does it have to be my husband?”

“Cause you’re my brother, duh.”

Ian puts a palm to his face. “Maybe your brother in-law should have a say? No, Iggy, I’m not kissing you.” Ian shrugs.

“Cause he’s mine.” Mickey smirks.

Iggy scowls. “Mine, mine. Just like when you were a fuckin’ toddler.”

The meaning of "fix" is up to your own interpretation, feel free to elaborate in the notes!

[shimmerluna]

To be honest, a big part of why I dislike the fact that YR doesn’t explicitly address ableism is because I think this fandom in particular would benefit a lot from the sort of discussions a show that takes so much care with these topics could produce.

With the way people talk about Sara’s auDHD, Micke’s addiction, Kristina’s breakdown, and even August’s ED/addiction, it’s clear a lot of you view mental illnesses/disabilities as a choice someone makes or a punishment they can deserve/earn. There’s a difference between one’s disability being used as an excuse and it being a valid reason/explanation for actions the person still has to take responsibility for that few of you seem to recognize or care about, and treating these characters’ disabilities and mental illnesses like something they earned/deserved bc of something they did implies very harmful beliefs about real disabled people. 

On top of those implications, the only disabled/mentally ill character people treat with nuance and care is Wille, the main character who gets all the excuses/explanations. To a disabled person (i.e. me), it appears that some of you refuse to care about/empathize with disabled people on your own. Instead, you view us as morally bad and alien at the first sign of symptoms, and you only change your mind when an explanation you deem satisfactory makes us palatable or relatable to you. Since it's currently Disability Awareness/Pride Month, it's a good time for some of you to learn how to see both us as people and our disability without lengthy justification or respectability politics.

can you recommend any good lance posts or fic to read?

oh. oh. oh boy do i have some fic recs for YOU

if anyone who sees this has other recommendations, please feel free to respond in the tags or in the replies! hope you enjoy - and welcome to lance nation!!!!

(i will try to keep it not just a strollonso fic rec list, yes they're my main but i don't want to give a biased list to the masses. this is a lance fic list, not just strollonso.)

so. without further ado...

allie's lance fic recs (in no particular order)

steak and other strange situations | lance/yuki | G | @lil-shiro

-> bet you didn't expect a rare pair ship as my first recommendation, huh? frankly i love the characterization that ann has utilized here - just a guy that wants to get to know people. simple yet effective!

gone before sunrise | lance/fernando | E | zeolyte

-> oogh this one is a real kicker. i couldn't tell you why my stomach churns while reading the middle of this piece. you can really feel for lance in this one and yes it does end happy (as most if not all of the fics in here will have in common with), but if you are okay with explicit material, this is a must read.

baby hotline (please hold me close to you) | lance/esteban/mick | T | @shovson

-> woohoo my ot3!!!! we dont get to see a lot of this pairing per se, but we get a lot of seb & lance running the iconic baby hotline, an advice service lance starts to help others with anything they need, like mick and estie once did for him. lovely cameos from multiple drivers.

press enter and send it | lance/esteban | E | gothic_sevgilim

-> HOO BABY is this one HOT. office au in which lance is the sassy trainee of esteban, a minor manager at lance's father's company. the tension in here is NUTS man

between your collar and your jaw | lance/sebastian | E | @hurricane-heatt

-> if you know me you know how much i fuck with cowboys. THEN you should by association know that i would never pass up a cowboy au. THIS is what a cowboy au should look like. passionate, yet leaves you in a cloud of dust by the side of the dirt road, knowing you'll never see this man and his steed again.

clerestory | pierre/charles with a side of lance/fernando | E | @nobrakesdown

-> woah. i thought this was a lance fic list?? this is our wildcard for the list. lance only appears in this fic as a historical figure in the wild royal mystery pierre is studying as he heals from an injury after a major crash. frankly i just wanted to add this one because it genuinely is one of my favorite fics on the site and since it vaguely has lance in it, i will be including it

never too soon | lance/george | G | @userkritaaay

-> stressed unstoppable force george meets relaxed immovable object lance. this is just lance and george suffering together after singapore 2023. delightful

you're my fucking hero: the critic's review | lance/fernando | M | me. i wrote this

-> finally, who would i be on this site without a bit of self promo. the love labor of @no00000000's wonderful dirtbag au, in which lance learns to live and pursue his own passions after a run in with a rough criminal, fernando. it is formatted as a movie review for a hypothetical movie, inspired by the essays i would write while in my history of film course years ago.

in your anthro au, does bramble actually make it to canada? is the plotline of the lake territory scrapped for something else?

rambled quite a bit here!

no, they dont make it to canada. they abandoned that idea after feather was killed. instead her funeral and burial is held in california by her dying wish and her family drives/flies over. graystripe and mosspelt took feather's car, but mosspelt flies back home via plane. graystripe is staying wirh storm indefinitely and eventually meets millie.

with storm's blessing, bramble,tawny, crow, and squirrel take the van back home. tawny is dropped off on the way, but crow insists on tagging along to thunder because he's not ready to be alone yet. his family is pretty small and he's not sure his parents will be able to help much, as much as they may try.

dodging the draft can get you into trouble, but there are many that got off scot free and bramble was one pf those lucky fellows (especially with firestar's involvement. he made sure bramble wouldn't have it held against him in return for keeping squirrel safe and bringing her home). firestar was furious at both bramble and squirrel but he's not cruel and unsympathetic, especially considering they just lost a very close friend (and that gray isnt coming back for a while).

this is where crow and leaf meet, crow is kinda bunking with bramble at his place and even had plans to move in for good. his parents were pretty combative but couldnt do much since he was a few states away!!! they dont know where the fuck thunder-whatever is. but eventually he gets a call about his father's rapidly declining health and immediately abandons his plans to stay. he asks leaf to come with him but leaf still isn't finished with med school (she doesn't know she's pregnant yet) and they part ways. crow makes it home to help ashfoot care for deadfoot in his final few months and fills in after his father dies. it's something he didnt plan to continue but its notnlike he HATES doing the work. eventually meets+marries nightcloud a 1-4 yrs later

leaf meanwhile continues med school. being unmarried with kids is still a social taboo, especially at such a young age (im imagining she and squirrel are around 18-19 by now, 17 during the road trip). squirrel and bramble, however, had been in a relationship with one another for a while after coming back home. sure, it got a bit messy when ashfur came back from vietnam and got a bit too close to squirrel for comfort, but they sorta resolved it and eventually bramble/squirrel got engaged. leaf confided in squirrel for her help with the pregnancy and squirrel immediately offered to take the children in as her own if leaf needed. it was a huge jump but leaf took the offer. bramble was let in on the plan the closer leaf got to her due date. he thought it was a very impulsive decision and they fought a bit about making the decision without him but he was enthusiastic about being a father regardless.

the others in town had their suspicions but dont ask dont tell.

theres some other parts i havent fully ironed out yet like where hawkfrost and mothwint come in.

as for the actual lake territories, they coexist with the forest territories by just being in different states LOL windclan and thunderclan's territory was pretty consistent in terms of The Basics so theyre mostly in the same general area (tc is east coast forests, wc is southwest-midwest prairies. theres a lot of cowboys, farmers, and ranchers in "windclan" as a result). shadowclan i can see being in the southern swamps, especially florida or louisiana, and riverclan is kinda interspersed alont the mississippi and ohio rivers. maybe a few along the east coast, too, as the lake territory equivalent. skyclan is probably in the rockies or the redwood forests out west. maybeeee old skyclan is in the appalachias???? idk LOL since the cats are so far apaer now the conflicts are a little less wide scale and more personal if rhat makes any sense at all. of course this whole au is a huge work in progress so some of what i say here may change!

the clans are rural/small/poor towns in my head. tight knit communities that have to rely on each other. kittypets are urban/suburbanites as a contrast and keep the 'kittypets r fucjing spoiled' theme going . you inow the city slicker junk LOL

bloodclan is probably a gang in new york. at least scourge's bloodclan. the other iterations are probably in other huge metropolitan cities. idk what warriorclan is, and the tribe is a whole can of worms im trying to be very careful with so im not gonna talk about them as a whole quite yet other than imply they exist

Lance x esteban and lance x esteban x mick

oooh, thanks for the ask!

okay, so

lance/esteban: there's no way those two haven't been together at least once. their vibes almost give off queer-platonic relationship, if it makes sense. with the way they look at each other, there's definitely Something there. there's also the long history between the two of them, and the fact that they're one of the strongest driver friendships on the grid. but at the same time, they lack that edge that makes me go feral. so while i enjoy it when i come across it, it isn't my first search. final verdict: makes sense & sort of compels me

lance/esteban/mick: whoo boy. where to start? as far as i can tell, esteban befriended mick, and then brough lance into the relationship. the three of them fascinate me, because they seem to get together SO WELL. and it's literally the most unexpected pairing too?? plus all three of them are very touchy too, which is even more insane. when the three of them are together, it's like they're in their own little bubble and they don't notice anybody else. i can totally see them all being boyfriends. like the insane descent from friends to more than friends to we're kind of fucking to oh i guess we're all in love to don't forget to pick up extra milk at the grocery store, love. final verdict: makes sense, compels me

Rating the couple in LoveSick 2024.

After this eventful 5th episode in LoveSick 2024, there are many possible choices. Let me remind you of all the possibilities.

Phun and Noh. They are not official yet, but you can't deny the attraction they have for each other.

Earn and Noh. Earn is clearly smitten with Noh and he didn't hesitate to spend his own money to help him get the drums. He also brings food and care for the one he loves. Unfortunately, Noh seems oblivious of his flirting.

Pete and Earn. Pete wants the best for the one he loves. He is selfless enough to accept him to be with someone else if it means he is happy. Of course, Earn can't see that his friend loves him. He is cursed with the same blindness as Noh.

Per and Mawin. Per wants to protect him, but the latter just wants to do everything for him because it's him. Even if it means staying under the scorching sun or picking up trash, as long as it's with Per, Win is willing to do it.

Aim and Li. They are "friends", but feelings are here and they both can't do anything about it because they are both in couple with someone else. Also Aim's mother has prejudice and negativity towards lesbians so their romance would be difficult.

Ohm and Mick. Ohm is treating Mick like his mentee, but we know that a mentee/mentor relationshp is possible (Q and Toey I'm thinking about you). Nothing is clear yet between them, but Mike really likes Ohm so everything is possible.

Ngor and Fong. Fong saved Ngor in this episode and you know it's a famous trope in romance so they may end up as a couple.

Ton and Pete. If you ask me, I believe it's never a good idea to go back with your ex, but there is something thrilling in second-chance romance and you may feel the same.

Yuri and Noh. She is a really nice girl, but she doesn't stand a chance. If you're a fan of doomed romance that will never really start, you can choose this couple as your favorite one.

Aim and Phun. Do I have to say something?

Li and Taeng. After all they are already together and they seem to love each other so maybe they are supposed to be together.

Fi and Mick. He found him cute and Mick didn't really notice him. That's for the fans of unrequited love.

You can also bet on these three if you believe poly is the answer for any love triangle (I won't have any more choices possible in the poll). And if you have your own choice of romance, then don't forget to add them in the tags.

I think that when Spy has to stay in character for very long periods of time, it sort of… bleeds into his personality for a while. Like, when he’s been disguised as Scout for a bit too long, he talks a little faster, a little louder, he’s more impulsive and easy to anger. When he’s been Medic, he’s cheerful, almost ditzy but in the wrong way, like he smiles too wide with too many teeth. When he’s been Pyro, sometimes he clicks open a lighter and just stares at the flame for what seems like hours

3, 5, 7, 23 for the dbda ask game!!

tysm omg

3. i think a lot of the characters on dbda are loved just the right amount by the fandom, netflix obviously underappreciates all of them because they cancelled the show >:( but if i were to choose i'd say tragic mick. like ohhhh his story actually killed me he has such great vibes. i'd love to write a poem about him if someone compiled his scenes for me to study

5. HAHA THIS ONE IS DIFFICULT see the quizzes can't decide but through unanimous vote it's in the order of charles, cat king, edwin! fun fact i've written rather long poems from edwin's perspective AND my friend who didn't know the quote existed coincedentally said the same thing edwin said to charles. i was having the same crisis as charles. make of that what you will 😭

7. i LOVE LOVE LOVE chorb and orbwin it's adorable but i also love all the domestic love headcanons i see. like the ones talking about how payneland would be in their free time (i have a lot of these myself that i'd kill to share)

23. i have a playlistttttt some of the songs are:

ahead by a century by the tragically hip

we go down together by dove cameron and khalid

better in the dark by jordana and tv girl

angel baby by troye sivan

meteor shower by cavetown

a boy named pluto by hailey knox

If you don't mind me asking, how old do you think Kuro and Mickbell were when they first met each other?

Ok, I have many things to take into consideration to answer this. I think Kuro was around 13 and Mick around 17, but I'll explain why, don't worry.

First of all, Kuro escaped home to see the world. If he did so I'll assume he was underage, because otherwise he'd just left home after he became an adult. He could be older, but i don't think its likely.

So, if we stick to this, he has to be a little older than this when Mickbell (4 years older than him) found him. He couldn't have been out on the world for that long. I'd say he was 12-13 when he ran away. Most likely 12.

It could be that he's 13 here.

He couldn't have been alone for much time wandering the world, and I don't think he was captive for more than a month or so.

He was most likely alone on his travels, and went to the harbour to see if he could leave the continent on a ship as a stowaway or sth little time after he ran away from home. As he was all alone, he was having a little trouble getting food. That plus the fact that he wanted to see the world resulted on him going to the harbour. He was probably figuring out how to get into a ship when he was captured.

He was captured for... I'd say two or three weeks, nit more, until the slave trader bought him. He is looking foward to sell him, but hasn't yet, and hadn't left the continent wither, so Kuro'd been with him for about a week, I'd say.

Mickbell is 4 years older than Kuro, so I'll say he was around 17 by the time. A full grown adult that saw this guy, freed him, and then ended up "employing" him impulsively when he saw that he could be useful. After that this boss-employee relationship evolved into the strange fond family they are. They've been together, according to this, for 5 years or so.

It's funny how Kuro seems to be more mature than Mick. Maybe he adopted the "older brother" role with this poor little kid that saved him.

Now, it's not related to your question, bur I'd like to point out that Mick had to teach some common to Kuro since he can talk a little. And look at this. He takes him to a bath after he finds him. Who knows what was the last time Kuro was clean!

Just thought of the most bizarre 80s movie plot and setting for a Mötley crüe movie, that isn't a biopic of some kind, but rather just a movie that they can play in as actors based on the smoking in the boys room music video.

Setting: 

Okay so the guys are all students at a high school that's main goal in actuality is to brainwash the children into becoming bland and uncreative as people in order to destroy “the other side” an almost upside down world where all original rebellious ideas and notions spawn from.

“The other side” can only exist if it has creative and revolutionary people to feed off of, and new creative people can only be born with the help of “the other sides” energy, but if enough people lose their creative spark and willingness to change the world, “the other side” will cease to exist and no more creative people will ever be born, leaving the world a shallow, dark and listless place.

The principal of the school really wants the world to be practically perfect in every way, and doesn't want any pesky new revolutionary ideas to change the military like world that they live in, so he set up a reform school for all misbehaving and unruly children, where they can be beat into submission and made soldiers/mindless robots out of that will hopefully kill enough creative spirits to destroy “the other side”.

You can only get to the other side via reflective services (so basically mirrors), because reflections flip images and so if you touch a reflective service when your a person with very different (opposite/reversed) ideals and ideologies, “the other side” will then think your one of its own creations and suck you into its world via the reflective service so it can feed off your chaotic energy.

The guys are all trouble making students who are sent to this school and it kinda has a Heather's vibe down to the battle that happens at prom where they unbrainwash the kids with their music.

Idk, just think this could be camp.
