#anyway im not real sure what i could say about this so i winged it

[technikki]

Could you talk about the mario yaoi to me. I've only got little glimpses from your posts and I'm sadly not aware of the big picture

ABSOLUTELY DEAR MUTUAL i will talk about luisley any day they make me so so sick i love them ihope they EXPLODE.

so this got long but whatever anyway!!! heres skyes compilation of ACTUAL REAL THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN MARIO AND LUIGI SUPERSTAR SAGA FOR THE GAMEBOY ADVANCE.

upon meeting him for the first time, prince peasley gives luigi a rose, accompanied by this line:

the remake has an added detail in a later scene that shows luigi keeps the rose tucked away under his hat for safekeeping. also this rose is used to show the castle guards they are friends of the prince so they'll be granted entry to the castle and is only needed the first time they go there. despite that, the rose remains in your inventory (likely under luigis hat <3) for the entirety of the game

at the end of this same scene peasley flies away on his little winged cushion thing (bean... creature? is it alive? i have no fucking clue) and zips right past luigi, twirling him around on his way out

the second time they run into each other and at multiple other points throughout the game, luigi will get excited upon seeing peasley and start waving his hat to greet him. he waves like this when peasley exits multiple scenes too, while also saying "bye-bye!". peasley is the only character he does this for with any consistency

at one point the mcguffin gets split into pieces and scattered across the kingdom, and mario and luigi offer to help peasley search for them. he makes a bet with the bros that he can gather the pieces before them, prompting luigi to run up to him and go "oh yeah!". peasley takes this as a challenge, apparently, because this causes him to, and i could not fucking make this up if i tried, pull out his sword and repeatedly jab luigi in the ass with it, causing him to blush a very bright red and start giggling like an idiot

note: and i don't know why this is the case, but if you do not progress the dialogue once he starts doing this, peasley will continue to poke luigi for as long as there is no player input. for more info check out prince peasley pokes luigi for 5 minutes on youtube <3

while collecting one of the pieces, luigi comes across a piranha plant that has eaten peasley and defeats it, saving him. note that this scene takes place in an area that you can only get luigi into. the game makes a point of separating him from mario for this scene. for some reason[winks with both eyes

peasley has also been shrunken down here (long story) and luigi thinks of a way to get him back to normal, prompting peasley to say "to think you know such cool moves! you're a real zero... i mean hero!". something interesting about this scene is that peasley's slip-up here varies depending on what language you're playing in. probably the most famous example is the german translation, where peasley attempts to say "hut ab!" (hats off!) and instead says "hose runter" (pants down. no i'm not joking.) my personal favorite is the spanish translation, where he attempts to say "eres ingenioso!" (you're ingenious!) and instead says "eres delicioso" (take a guess). regardless of what translation you play and what peasley ends up saying, luigi becomes very flustered and starts laughing again

one thing about this game is that it was one of the very first games that decided to actually give luigi any actual relevance (the only earlier one ican think of is luigi's mansion. infact im pretty sure that's the only one), he was still known more or less as just marios palette-swapped "player-2" brother, and they decided to lean very hard into this with how he is treated in-universe. it is a running gag that mario is obviously a very well-known and beloved hero, while luigi is constantly being ignored and made fun of, and barely anyone can ever seem to even remember his name. some characters do treat him with equal respect to mario, but peasley is the only character that not only consistently seems to focus on luigi, but also cannot seem to be bothered with remembering mario's name. peasley calls them the mario bros a few times and there is one point where peasley does address mario directly by name, and its a scene that luigi is not present for. which suggests that peasley does indeed remember mario's name and is trying to make luigi feel a little more special which is honestly really sweet and i hate him so much

at one point luigi has to make an emergency leap out of a plane (longer story) and peasley flies up to meet him. a little bird flies by and, because luigi is uniquely hated by the universe itself, pecks through the cord of his parachute and causes him to begin plummeting out of the sky. peasley attempts to catch him, but because he is an idiot with way too much self-confidence and cannot catch a grown man falling at top speed, luigi simply knocks him right off his little cushion thing and they both end up falling. however there is a split second where it looks like he might end up holding luigi bridal style

peasley is able to make a perfect landing after this scene by using his cape as a parachute, but luigi's landing is. not as graceful and he ends up plunging headfirst into the sand, getting stuck. peasley finds this rather charming and proceeds to laugh and comment on his "luigi dunk"

this is another scene where translators decided to have some fun as well: in the german translation peasley calls him what roughly translates to "an amusing little darling" and in i believe the french translation he calls him something like "clumsy but adorable". basicaly he thinks luigi is very funny and very cute

eventually peasley decides he is going to go fight the main villain himself despite being told how incredibly dangerous it would be, because he does not want to impose on the bros any more than he feels they already have. his mother attempts to reason with him but he runs off anyway, causing luigi to collapse into tears at the thought of something bad happening to him

the ending scene of the game shows mario luigi and friends saying goodbye to the beanish royals at the airport. upon seeing peasley, luigi jumps up and begins actually running at him to hug him.

unfortunately, because luigi cannot have anything ever in his life, peasley is not paying attention (idiot) and continues moving upward, causing luigi to faceplant on the tarmac. he cries after this </3

ALSO have to give a shoutout to these panels from the official manga (scans by my awesome friend @/bowletta btw):

(the pink katakana literally says doki doki dude get it together)

(COME ON.)

so YUUUUP basically they're genuinely one of the most inexplicably gay-coded relationships in any nintendo game and i wish more people knew about peasley because he's a really funny character and his relationship with luigi is extremely cute. heart

talk to us about klaus + biting now

fdklsaj i mean to put it simply, he's a biter. he's hungry? he bites. pissed off? bites. horny? bites. feeling possessive? bites, specifically to mark them. his gums probably ache or some shit when he's around someone he's interested in, and he has to fight the urge to bite them. it could also be said that it's basically a physical manifestation of his eternal struggle to truly express his emotions, hence why he will often default to some sort of violence (i.e. literally drawing blood with his feckin teeth) or distraction instead of being emotionally vulnerable. or maybe rather than his personality, being half dog is what leads to him being mouthy, who knows? the only thing that can be known for sure is that he is not a bite risk, he's a bite guarantee.

with imposter1998 finally over after a short accidental but much needed hiatus, let me just say uh, FUCKING THANK YOU? LIKE WOW? i did not expect you guys to participate and theorize and interact as much as you did, quite frankly i think you guys put more thought into this objectively silly idea than i did lmao

never before in all my internet years have i encountered such a fun, sweet, supportive online fandom. for imposter1998 and for daily kremy as a whole, the support i got from the many like-minded nerds on here was crazy. the tags and comments were plentiful and inconceivably kind, there was daily kremy FANART, @papa-goose-ollie got the whadda hell is a grapefruit one printed on a fucking MUG. shits crazy. but like truly everything about this has been awesome and i dont think i could thank each and every one of you enough :)

however, i think daily kremy ends here for now. made it to 150, i think thats respectable, but yknowwwww interests change and whatnot. however, you can guarantee I'll be back once new eps come out!

anyway enough sap do you guys wanna laugh at me for how horribly shambled together this whole game was behind the scenes (more under cut)

so this whole game was meant to last exactly 1 week, and conclude the day before Halloween. that sure didn't end up happening. probably because I "planned" this all over the course of like THREE DAYS. the extent of my planning was a single sheet of a4 paper and a barebones notes app doc

THE TYPOS WERENT INTENTIONAL. IT WAS SO FUNNY AND EMBARRASSING EVERYTIME SOMEONE MADE A COMMENT LIKE "Aha! Another typo! It's all coming together now guys!" LIKE NOOOO STOP LOOKING AT ME DONT PERCIEVE ME PLEASE😭😭😭😭 it was absolutely on me though, adding that tag mentioning them. it was supposed to be a joke at my own expense and people rightfully took it as a hint, oops <\3

all the puzzles were from my own noggin 👍 but very inspired by a few escape room boardgames like EXIT that I've played before. i also didnt know a solitaire cipher was even a thing. i thought i was being smart when the REAL smart thing to do would've been, uh, a singular google search.

and lastly, in the spirit of daily kremy, everything was made at like 2 am the day prior to posting and i totally winged it everytime. as in i had no clear idea what I'd write, just a bullet point to work off of. work ethic? never heard of her.

no comment on the ending! but you guys are super smart im sure you can have fun thinking abt it :)

You mentioned in your initial Trinna post that her haircut had some lore… would you care to share :3

Also I offer Beatrix to Trinna as a potential friend and here are my official reasons :D

1) she too dislikes the attention from her wings

2) she wouldn’t get her own cabin till after the war assuredly so she would be chilling in Hermes, so they could know each other from that

3) they just have very similar vibes like idk every angy girl that feels the stuff needs her chill friend that struggles to feel the stuff you know???

4) They both have more experience than usual with the Greek side of the family so bondingggg

5) idk if Trinna like to do deadpan humor stuff but bea would probably find that hilarious

(This is all no pressure and just for fun btw XD)

DUHHDHUNDUHNSHUNS THIS HAS TAKING ME TOO LONG SO IM JUST GOING FOR IT NOW

Haircut lore: sooooo I just have a basic idea for this, but she cut it for practicality. When she was probably around 12 (when she had long hair) she was given a quest. She was SO excited for the quest since it was her first one, buuuuut it didn’t go too well. She still managed to complete it, but at one point she was losing a fight and the monster was able to grab her by the hair, which hurt a TON and left her in a very bad situation. Someone (maybe an oc I could make??) intervened and saved her. That same day she ran to her mom’s house and cut all her hair so it would never happen again.

Hm interesting idea… however, May I offer a counter point?

THEY WOULD BE THE BESTIES EVER.

(Little snippet of what Trinna is doing there and her initial reaction. I also didn’t know how exactly Bea would respond …..)

Trin & Bea’s First Meeting:

Trinna sat atop a high cliff within the camp’s boarders. She hid herself in the shadow of her wings, attempting to separate herself from the world around her. Camp had always been her home, the only one she ever really knew, but now it felt so foreign. It was like she was in another’s skin. Everything felt wrong. Whether she was training or sitting with her half siblings as they all laughed until it hurt, she was tense. She couldn’t laugh with them. She couldn’t focus on her training. She couldn’t do anything, and she knew the reason. The one person who knew her, the one person who understood her, the one person who truly felt like family, left her behind. Those words rang in her head, “The gods don’t care about us, Trin! Can’t you see that!?” It was uncanny seeing Luke act with such anger toward the gods, and what made it worse is that Trinna sat on the cliff side, wishing she could see what Luke did. She wanted to say yes to his absurd idea. To join Luke in “dethroning the gods.” It was an idiotic plan; she knew that, but if she knew how camp would be after he left, she might have just accepted. And that’s what she hated. She would’ve accepted. She knew she had no reason to and maybe it was dumb to think it would fix her, but maybe it wouldn’t have been so bad. Maybe Luke was right, the gods didn’t actually care. Maybe her father was just toying with her when he responded to her letters, but… it never felt like it. And if that was the case, if Hermes really didn’t ever care about her, then she would really have no one. That could’ve been the real reason she denied Luke’s idea. If she had joined him, she would have been accepting that her whole life was a lie, that everything that happened was a facade. She couldn’t accept that, but it doesn’t change how awful camp had become. Not only did everything feel wrong, but everyone acted like she was just about to snap at any moment. The camp knew Trinna hung around her brother a lot, they must’ve suspected that she was still in contact with him. Maybe they even thought she was a spy of some sort. It just made the whole “you’re the new counselor” idea a living nightmare. How could she be a counselor? Sure, everyone always thought she was anyway, but that was Luke’s job! He was better with people, Trinna was better at being annoyed by people. That whole problem was pretty easy to sort out though, she just told the Stoll brothers they were in charge. Of course, she had to get involved if they ever went too far, but that was nearly never the case because half the time it was too entertaining not to allow.

These thoughts went on and on as she waited for the day to pass— until she was interrupted. A strange sound and a gust of wind caught her attention. She lowered her wing and peered at whoever made the sound, unrealistically hoping to see Luke coming to cheer her up, but expecting the Stoll brothers coming to pester her with her own responsibilities. She stared at the shadow underneath a pair of purple sneakers hovering a foot off the ground without processing how it defied the laws of physics. Then the sneakers landed in the grass, and the initial thought “wait, that’s not how that works” hit her like a truck, immediately followed with, “whose shoes are those?????” She looked up to see the person who had interrupted her thoughts and leaped to her feet with her wings fully spread out in excitement. “NO WAY!?!???!!!” Trinna exclaimed, she stared in utter shock at the large, raven-like wings attached to the girl in front of her. The excitement overshadowed the off-putting aura and mystery of the stranger. Trinna stammered for a moment, then just pointed at the girl and managed the word, “WINGS?!”

——

YESYESYESYESYES THEY WOULD GE GREAT FRIENDS. AND TRIN DEFINITELY LOVES MAKING DEADPAN JOKES THATS PERFECT

I can imagine both of them chilling in the Hermes cabin talking about their Greek parents (Trinna would be so jelly that Bea has actually been able to meet with and talk with her’s)

[starbound-jupiter]

also pigeon evbo is fuckin awesome i love the idea that the species he is reflects how people treat him n stufz and as for the other ppl in the noob level i like to think theyr all just some type of like bird you see everywhere here in my country theres mayas literally everywhere and nobody rlly pays much attention to them just maybe feed them every once in a while and then they just blend in with the surroundings like how the pros dont rlly care that much abt the noobs so they dont rlly notice them that much hehe :33 not sure abt what other avians they could be tho!! and if in this au everyones a creature of some sort what would the pros be? and the masters? oh my gof wait thought just came through what iff emf gained the ability to like shapeshift once they became champion omg i originally thought like emf is normally how they look like canonically but like all misty? not entirely solid but has like ykno particles floating around and once theyre champion they can go full mist mode and change their proportions and apearance and stuff but still kinda look like themself? but honestly the idea that emf can shapeshift into any form and chooses to be ominous as fuck is hilarious lmaoaoa anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk there will be more

OHHH IM SO GLAD YOU AGREE!!! AND ALSO EXACTLY!! SHAPESHIFTER EMF MY LOVEEE <33333

but to address your other point,, we’ve established that the noobs are different species of avians, and if you wanna get real angsty with it they’ve all probably had their wings clipped so they can’t fly or save themselves when missing a jump and the fighters are vampires, but what about the other species?

so!! honestly i want to say the masters are also shapeshifters, but like- to an extent maybe? as in they can alter their physical appearance to some degree, but it increases exponentially if they become champion. and that might actually be a pretty cool incentive to do so, if they go from being able to vaguely alter how they look to changing their fucking state of matter lol.

tbh, i’m not quite sure about the pros!!! there are so many options, i’m not sure which one to pick!!! (if anyone wants to drop a comment or an ask you are so so welcome to do so!!)

Facts ; Wattpad

ACOTAR x Fourth Wing x OC

You know how there’s Good and Bad in the world? Heaven and Hell? Angels and Demons?

For every good person, or fae, there’s an evil one out there. Somewhere.

Well it’s the same for dragons.

And I’m not sure if I found the good one or the bad one.

Hello Family,

I’m sure you all are thrilled to … read from me.

Until I found out you were spying on me the whole time?

Come one! Cassian? Do you have no trust in the way you trained me?

Or you Azzie? You made me a fucking shadow yet you’ve sent your shadows to spy on me?

I know I know, Im still a child in your eyes… but I’m as old as the others around me - besides I’ve survived with you as my “family”, you really think this will kill me?

Anyway, I finally have the privilege to annoy you all with endless letters, the first year is over and I’m still alive baby.

So let me tell you about my year…

On my very first day I made a friend, Rhiannon. We ended up being in the same squad too - Fourth Wing, Flame Section, Second Squad. Two new friends we made in our squad are Ridoc and Liam. I know you told me to stick to the other fae around here… But she’s a bitch and I’m this close to kill her every second she opens her mouth. And I really don’t know why our wing leader is fucking with her- like literally. Humans need to meet more fae, otherwise he’d realize that she’s not special. I really hope more fae will come to the riders and help mixing humans and fae in the future… Geographically our worlds are connected but somehow we are not. Back to this bitch tho. Her Name is Eve and she’s the daughter of some lord from Autumn, who’s dad is or was friends with Beron - this should be enough for you to know that she’s a bitch. So anyway now my friends and our section leader Garrick are now judging Xaden for fucking with her. Which made Xaden, our wing leader, hate me… Don’t ask me why just me and not the others too, but just me.

Maybe it was because I once said to Eve that I know she’s just messing with him because she can’t have the real Shadow boy ( yes I’m talking about you Az) - and he was right behind me. She looked offended tho, so add her to the endless list of girls that want to fuck Azriel, yet he still choses the life of abstinence.

Okay uhmmm all the fighting stuff is actually way too easy for me which is why I’m mainly training with Liam or Garrick and not the other first (now second) years.

The food is awful and doesn’t get better the longer you eat it (pls Rhys I’m begging you, pull some strings and get me a care package).

Well other than that… I know you what you want me to talk about… The dragon who chose me.

Noctis.

What can I say - I or We were the talk of the month when he appeared during Threshing and chose me. Everything around me became black. I couldn’t see anything and then… two glowing red eyes appeared in front of me and he spoke. He spoke in my head.

‘I’ve been waiting for you.’

Then the darkness … vanished and there he was. An enormous black dragon. His scales are razor sharp spikes, his horns ( he has for of them) are so long, I could hold them while riding him. His teeth come close to the size of you Cassian. His tail ends in something that fades into a shadow… just like his wings. They have holes in them and the ends fade into shadows…

He wasn’t a normal black dragon I was sure of that.

Thanks to being a fae I got on top of his back and somehow managed to stay there during the flight.

I’m sure you heard all about the drama that went down afterwards.

He shouldn’t be here.

He’s supposed to stay a legend.

Is he even real?

How can he possible bond to someone?

Rhys.

He doesn’t just look like the Dragon Amren told us about. The one she saw when she first landed on this continent.

He IS that dragon.

And he’s a sarcastic bitch that doesn’t know when to stay out of my head or my business- you two would get along so well.

But he’s pretty cool.

And he’s not screaming in my head rn to write this.

Well… and now to the other matter.

My…signet …

So there’s the one… everyone knows of… Shadow Wielding. That’s kinda obvious with how Noctis looks (and forces me to spend more time with Xaden, since we both have the same signet and he’s told to teach me).

But it’s just one of them… Rhys… I feel it. I feel the blood of the people around me. One time Rhi was bleeding and it just wouldn’t stop and I didn’t know what to do… I just wished it would stop. And then I felt it. I felt her blood running out of the cut on her arm and… I made it stop?

I know it sounds crazy but.. then there was this other time … I was just minding my own business during lunch and Eve had to sit down right in my eyesight and make out with Xaden… I got so annoyed… and just wanted it so end. I thought about blood running down her neck… and then… it started to run. Run out of her nose, down her mouth and…down her neck. She needed to go to the healer’s because it just wouldn’t stop.

Rhys.. what is wrong with me?

Noctis just tells me that he knew why he waited for me.

I know I should go to my teachers.. and learn how to control it.. but something tells me that I shouldn’t.

Oh and Rhys… His power… feels like yours.

Talk to you all later…

Nea.

With a sigh I put away my pen.

Shadows crawl around me and caress my face.

I smile and look at the male behind me.

“Did I wake you up?” I ask him.

“No… But I’m kind of offended our activities knocked me out more than they did to you.” He laughs and gets out of my bed. His lips touch my shoulder blade, right where Noctis marked me. His fingers trace the thin lines on my body, that run from the dragon on my back all over my body.

“They’re beautiful.” He mumbles.

Pfff obviously. Noctis sighs and I feel him rolling his eyes.

“Come back to bed now.” He says and walks backwards, dragging me with him.

[beebundt]

would you mind sharing a bit about Angel's character design and the process of developing it? are there qualities of her personality/story that inform her appearance that you haven't shared so far? have you talked about her tattoos yet??

yeah absolutely!!! i have a Lot i could say here actually because its my favorite thing to think about when designing a character! this is going to get a little long. thanks for the question! 💕💕

to begin with, since she's paired with 2D ill be comparing the two a bit here. i intentionally wanted to use a lot of curves in her initial design from the git go (body shape, her curly hair, etc.) and generally contrast other features against his, so how i draw him with circle eyes, i draw her with much sharper ones, or him being like 6 ft and shes short af. which is not to say there's any real importance behind that besides my satisfaction seeing this scrawny coward of a man tower over this 4'9 chill af beef queen and knowing she could easily snap him in half if she wanted & he'd worship her for it. but anyway it is something i consider in contrast to 2D even in outfits. not that it's purely the only way they dress or anything, but angel tends to wear a lot more leather + punk elements in comparison to him so there's also contrast in style there reflective of their general attitudes.

her development + concept is sort of an odd one for me because i already had a mostly clear idea of what kind of character i wanted to make from the start, im sure it has something to do with just how long i've already been into gorillaz so ive.... def had the time to think about it lol. here are some REALLY rough sketches from the very first time i drew her, they're very ugly bc i never expected anyone to see but just want to show how little she's actually changed from initial conception? disregarding style ofc. i can't really explain my motives anymore than i wanted someone who was not afraid to challenge 2D, equally as wild + independent, but also supports his vulnerabilities, is protective of him. someone who would be similar to murdoc in attitude in a lot of ways but uses it to protect, not destroy.

spitballing some little stuff because ive been so in my head im not exactly sure what i've shared and what i havent lmao. some things angel used to do were habitual out of insecurity like when she used to straighten her hair from teenage-young adult years, but then started wearing it natural from p3 and on, or plucking her eyebrows so much she doesn't have really left anymore & has to draw them in. also her brothers used to make fun of her tooth gap and shit when she was a kid so she stopped open smiling but since being 2D she's felt confident about it again. has a lot of tats + piercings bc she was big into the rock/punk scene way back and that's something i try to show at least a little throughout her wardrobe no matter the phase. like an aging rock fan trying to get with the times. her style does get more "modern"? as the phases go on though, so her rock influences become a bit harder to spot by p7, but are most prevalent p2 & p4.

for tattoos, i have talked a little about it on her toyhouse page but ill go more into it here!! all current tattoos include:

large wings on her upper back - angel symbolism of course. she really leaned into liking her name the she older she got because it almost became a sense of pride to her as she's sort of a local legend to the general community. so with this one she got to represent that, her community and friends is what gives her her wings.

long roses + stems from her right forearm to her shoulder/collarbone - honestly she just fucks with it. was done by a friend who wanted to test her skills on her & angel really does not give af so ofc she was on board with that.

a small star under her left collarbone - represents an old friend she used to know and is put there so she can always keep them close to her heart.

a chubby cupid with a bow and arrow on the top of her right upper thigh - dare by a friend because they thought it was funny. plus you know. angel symbolism with her name. anyway the arrow points directly at her you know.

a heart with an arrow through it on her left shoulder - used to have her ex best friend/crush’s name on it but she had it completely removed later when they had a big falling out, so it's just the heart now. was one of the first things she had tattooed on her when she was a teenager)

a large black scorpion just below the left shoulder and all down her upper arm - represents her old band, the scorpion was a symbol they used for a one-off album.

a dagger with a snake wrapped around the blade on her left forearm - honestly she just fucks with it. another done by a friend to test on her.

and a small cross on her left middle finger - she grew up in a christian household, although she's atheist, it still holds some comfort to her. but mostly it's just funny to flip murdoc off with (and why she initially got the tattoo lmao bc she cant stand his ass)

when thinking about angel's design/lore i have to be mindful that not even gorillaz cares this much about their own lore or go deep into it at all lmao. so i always struggle with how far should i cross that line in the name of developing an interesting character i can imagine for the world and how much i should step back and be like.... "its just gorillaz bro" lmfao. so i TRY (keyword try) to only briefly go over some things in her lore and not dig too deep into it. but its hard being a gorillaz fan and wanting to be invested 💔

Autumn screams about how good monster hunter designs are 1: Shara Ishvalda

this guy isnt really my favorite monster or anything but its one of the monsters i feel the most strongly about if that makes any sense to you. i dont know who needs to be told this but rock monsters are fucking cool. dude looks like a fucking primordial god of the very ground we stand on.

i think its safe to say its sick as FUCK that they actually like. didnt just use the same type of rock for this dude. like theres actual variation in this guy's armor which you dont really see much of in media containing big rock dudes. including monster hunter itself

basarios for example is just like. a rock wyvern. with one kind of rock. but i really think it goes to show how much the design team for monster hunter has improved given that basarios is from the first game and shara ishvalda is relatively new. i just think thats pretty damn neat.

there are no good pictures of this so you gotta trust me when i talk about how cool it looks when you weaken its parts. most monsters just like put a texture over its leg or its head and call it a day but with shara its much more unique. like it actually changes the color of the rocks.

anyway once you crack this cold boy open youre greeted with the most terrifying eldritch nightmare youve seen in your entire goddamned life

im not sure how to describe this thing other than it being cool as hell. its wings are like. fucking veiny. and look like roots. they look like exposed nerves. and this fuckin guy causes seismic activity by CONTROLLING VIBRATIONS. this guys fuckin clothes were kept on with vibrations. and i just. fucking need to talk about how goddamn cool that concept is and how they utilize it.

THIS BITCH FUCKING MAKES DRAGON BALL LAZERS BY VIBRATING THE GODDAMNED AIR. ITS JUST STRAIGHT UP DOING SOME GOKU SHIT. IT ALSO JUST DOES A SPIRIT BOMB?? FROM DRAGON BALL?? MADE OUT OF VIBRATIONS??? AS ITS ULTIMATE ATTACK??? ITS FUCKING AWESOME.

AND IT GETS FUCKING SCIENTIFICAL IN THIS BITCH. IT VIBRATES THE SAND TO MAKE IT ACT LIKE A LIQUID. THATS A REAL THING. THATS JUST ACTUAL SCIENCE.

and dont worry it gets scarier when you hit it more

it opens its fucking eyes. i dont like that. it gives me the heeby jeebies. its great though. its modeled in a specific way to always be looking at the camera no matter what angle youre at. so its just fucking staring at *you*. not the hunter. but like actual you in real life.

quite beautiful and also fucking terrifying if i say so myself.

the lotus flower motif on its design is really cool. i didnt know you could make a design basedon a flower that goddamned terrifying but i like it.

unfortunately there arent many good pictures of it but when you break its parts off with your big cool weapon its like. a fucking amethyst geode. this fucking thing is just rocks all the way down.

in conclusion i think its really neat how capcom managed to make a creature seem so fucking terrifying and incomprehensible in a game where the creature still fucking make sense as part of an ecosystem no matter how wild they get. i dont know what monster i'll be screaming about next but i probably will. probably astalos or something

one day, the clouds parted and an Angel tumbled down, falling all the way from the celestial sphere, but landing light as a feather in a bushel of white roses. she looked up at the sky—brushing off her darkened wings—and with squinting eyes, gazed at a kingdom so bright but so rigid and said with a calm breath, "well screw you, i didn't want to be a part of that snooze fest anyway." and promptly made her own Heavens on Earth.

Buddha exudes peace in his every waking and sleeping moment but try him if you want to and earn a first-class trip to Nirvana 😘. his tongue game is BRAZY (you've seen the gif) and he loves to BITE. he makes sure we do yoga together every single morning to start our day and after making sure my back is nice and stretched out, he breaks it 🧘🏾‍♀️. but he always puts me back together with soft coos, humming purrs, and tender strokes. this man is my lock screen, my peace, my husband, my everything. i keep him fed and not just with food; he will never know hunger as long as i am alive 🤍

💜Geto (JJK): mymanmymanmymanmymanmyman. if Sugu asked me to have his kids, i would say "how many baby?" and i am clearly not mother material 🥴. my husband #2 that i would turn my back against the JJK world for in a heartbeat. he could call me a 🙈 and i would say thank you. in all realness, i get geto. i really do. my little alien, my little aquarius, he just wants justice at the end of the day—truly. not power, not dictatorship, just for things to be right, safe. there's something about his maternal instincts that lets me know he would take suchhhh good care of me—he's so careful, so understanding. i'd never have to lift a finger (except when i'm being a brat) and his Suave Commercial locs make me want to wrap them around my fist and pull. he has a face card that will never decline and baby, i keep on swiping 🤧|sidenote: i need his gender pls and ty

💜Choso (JJK): my pookie-wookie puppyboi boyfriend Cho, what would i ever do without you??? idk, there's something about Chosito that sets my motherly instincts on fire 🔥 . i want to love on him, nurture him, care for him, and absolutely reduce him to tears all in the same breath. he's such a family man, so full of love and kindness and security and i adore that about him. my soft and gentle man, i feel like he's a 70-30 sub-dominate switch but gIRL do not be fooled 😩—when that man loses all sense in that cute little pig-tailed head of his, you better have an icy pack and aftercare on standby 🧍🏾‍♀️

💚Josuke (JJBA): oooohmygAWD 😩 what isn't there to say about boyfriend #2, Josuke?? the hair, the moves, the suave looks, the no-bullshit attitude. besides Dio, baby invented jojo-posing like, kneel before your Leo king?? he's so cute and creative and such a quick thinker like omg part 4 had me STRESSED, but he gets his quick wits from his no-good cheating ass pappy 🤭. josuke keeps it real, calm, cool, and collected. he's a bit too forgiving (fk Okuyasu) but that's only because he has a 💗 bigger than his hair, and when im not spending hours styling it and getting him together in the morning, im daydreaming about his love, care, and cuddles i get every night. and if i ever hurt myself, he's quick to heal my boo-boos with magical kisses🤍

💚Narancia (JJBA): my silly little goof ball pup #2, omg he's so precious and innocent and deserves soooo much more 🥺. Narancia is just...pure unadulterated love in human form. he doesn't judge, he doesn't reject, he's a bit quick to anger but it's always deserved because look at him!! how could you be mean to such a precious little thing, he wouldn't hurt a fly (unprovoked). my baby's a little slow but what he doesn't have in genius, he makes up for with his heart. and that boy can dance and dress his ass off, lets fking goooo skintight leather steel-bone corset top 🗣️

🩷Sukuna (JJK): ok listen....hear me out...balance🧍🏾‍♀️. he brings balance. everyone else is muddled and normal, soft, or innocent but Kuna resides in the extremes, is the perfect polar-opposite of Choso, and rounds out the group with good ole fashion discipline 💪🏾 (read Exercising with Sukuna if you don't believe me). he's not my favorite to deal with because the man puts the ass in asshole bUT it's good for my soul to toughen up every now and then. if you want something done and you want it done right, ask Sukuna. he'll grumble and berate you the entire time but sh*t will get done and better than you ever thought it could be. .......he also has 4 arms, 2 dicks, and a stomach mouth—good fkin bye.

🩷Saitama (OP): he makes me laugh, there's not much more to say 🤣. the most normal out of the group and the most nonchalant. Saitama is literally my best friend who never takes anything seriously just like me. our favorite hobby we do together is literally grocery shopping and i will wake my ass up every saturday morning to be by his side as he spends way too much time comparing fruits and vegetables just to get the same things he does every time. he's also the strongest and would deck everyone on this list if it came to it (argue with the manga, not me 🐸☕️)

honorable mention: Levi (AOT) because this short king 👑 cares too much and gives no f**ks at the same time and has the best resting b*tch face/face card i've ever seen 🧍🏾‍♀️

beats me 🤷🏾‍♀️

nah jk.

the real reason will forever remain a mystery, but i think it has something to do with connectedness.

the first major story i wrote was handwritten in the largest binder i could find in the 4th grade and was about fairies with elemental superpowers.

my first fandom was typed out on my mom's typewriter at her job and about 40/50 pages and was about the boyband B5 (shout tf out to you if yk who they are 🗣️).

both of these instances explored hobbies/interests that i was deeply into. i wanted to share my own take on these things that occupied so much of my time with others who also couldn't escape the clutches of favorites and fandom.

i also wanted to "escape" from a life i thought was dull and bland in favor of living in a world that was bright and full of color and literally in the palm of my hands.

now i do it just because i like to torture myself 🤍

i would create an entirely new world if i could, but i'll settle for pouring my heart out on tumblr

💗first and foremost, all of my characters are 18+. i don't really care for writing aged-up minor characters but when i do, it will be mostly fluff but they will be adults at the end of the day, especially when you consider real-world timelines.

💗smut: i know what you came here for 😏. this does include some more controversial dynamics like consensual non-consent (CNC), ageplay, petplay, power exchange (top, bottom, sub, dom, "slave", etc) rough play, but these writings will always come with tag warnings because everyone likes their tea different 😊

💗fluff: ofc everyone loves a bit of fluff. tis good for the heart to remember that you have one (not me though, y'all be safe)

💗angst 😈: there's nothing i love more than stirring the fictional pot. it hurts so good

💗long ass stories that are almost always projected to be under 8k but end up breaching 10k because i have no control over my life 🤠

💗i will write characters outside of my Heavens/top fandoms but i have to be familiar with those characters/show—keep that in mind in case i reject a future request

let's be civil little angels here

🚫hardcore gore/mutilation: love to read it but cannot write it. am baby

🚫unsafe fetishes: i am kink-shaming 💩, race play, STDs (god why does this need to be said), grApe, i n c e s t, necro, actual torture, etc.,

🚫cliche/exaggerated mental disorders: like saying someone who is very tidy has "OCD" or someone with mood swings is "bipolar"; those are incorrect stereotypes AND i am not licensed to give even fictional characters those diagnoses

🚫pregnancy: gasp, ik. but listen, i have no idea what it's like to be pregnant or have kids (other than my stuffies) nor envision that for myself because it does not seem like much fun 😅 and frankly, i don't really care for it as a plot point? i'd consider it maybe for a drabble request but no major plots

🚫anything else i may be uncomfortable with down the line. i don't have a lot of hard nos but people can get weird sometimes 👀

reblogs, likes, and comments = angel kisses and i have soft, plump lips so 👉🏾👈🏾

i'll eventually open up my asks for requests but this gojo fic (teaser here) is balding me and taking up alllll of my time right now. once they do open, i may be slow to fulfill requests but that's only because i care too much about making great content 🥺. until then, you can still blow up my inbox with reviews, recommendations, thoughts, nonsensical jibber-jabber, whatever; Come chat with the Harem

NOT EXPECTING THAT BUT SURE ILL REQ A ZELDA FIC

Can a req fic where link does something stupid(cause it’s link) getting himself hurt and the rest of the champions + Zelda just worrying about him

Im a huge sucker for there dynamic and who better to bring them together than the danger king himself, link

vote glenn close and receive a drabble!!

Link still hasn’t woken up.

Daruk doesn’t know what to do. Mipha had to be dragged out of the room, after an entire day spent pouring her Grace into him without rest. Zelda’s been alternately pacing furiously in front of Link’s door and devouring every medical book in the library, as if her knowing more about his injuries will magically make them disappear. Revali hasn’t even shown his face—instead, once he’d watched them safely transport Link into this healing pool in Zora’s Domain, he fled to who-knows-where. Urbosa has been trying to comfort the kids alongside Daruk, but he can tell how frightened she is that Link won’t pull through.

(Link will be fine. Daruk has to believe it.)

It’s evening, now, after another long day of the Zora healers trying any and every possible remedy. Link’s body seems like it should be fine. The bloody wounds from Calamity Ganon’s Sheikah-tech blades are gone. The burns from Guardian lasers were erased by Mipha’s magic. Even that horrible slash across Link’s chest from Dark Beast Ganon’s horn has sealed over. But Link still isn’t waking up.

“I just don’t understand why my Grace won’t save him,” Mipha tells Daruk helplessly. He insisted they go outside for some fresh air, but from their crystal table overlooking her statue, she keeps glancing back inside toward the infirmary anyway. “When…when I was dead, or in stasis or—anyway, I could bring him back from the brink of death.”

“And it knocked you out for hours,” Daruk reminds her. “Plus, you didn’t have to take care of your own physical body while you were at it. It’s not… You can’t…” Daruk wishes he were more eloquent. Urbosa always seems to know exactly what to say. “Link wouldn’t want you to tear yourself to pieces for his sake.”

“I know…” Mipha murmurs.

A click of heels against luminous stone, just slightly sharper than the sound of Zora claws. Daruk recognizes those footsteps; he turns—

Not just a pair of heels. Talons, too. Urbosa walks up to them with Revali in tow.

“Found him,” Urbosa says. She sits down at the table. “Honestly, Revali, you didn’t have to choose a hiding spot up so many flights of stairs.”

Daruk can tell she’s playing up her exhaustion for humor—but her real exhaustion isn’t from the stairs. Revali must be able to tell too, by the way his eyes dart guiltily over her face. But all he retorts is, “I wasn’t hiding.”

He crosses his wings. Doesn’t sit down. Daruk and Urbosa glance sideways at each other. Mipha rests her chin in her hand, staring listlessly down at the table.

“He’s so stupid,” Revali says suddenly. “He didn’t have to just…”

He cuts off again just as abruptly. He drops down onto the seat next to Daruk, shoulders hunched. Normally, between the six—or, right now, only four—of them, they could keep a conversation going for hours. Now the quiet stretches on, unbearable. For a little guy who never talked, Daruk thinks humorlessly, in his absence Link seems to have infected them all with his same silence.

But that’s not even true anymore. One hundred years ago, after Link pulled the sword, he’d gone from a happy, playful, silly little kid to a stoic, silent statue. Daruk’s best efforts weren’t enough to crack that stony mask. It took death and resurrection for Link to finally escape that pressure, to find joy and humor again, and Daruk will be damned if Link loses his second chance. If they all lose their second chance to—

Daruk is startled from his darkening thoughts by a shout from the direction of the library. Then Zelda is rushing outside, waving a book in her hand.  

“Everyone!” she yells, skidding up to their table. “I found it! It’s like some kind of Malice infection! I’d never imagined my light powers would matter when its purpose is to destroy, but apparently if I’m very very careful I can—oh, the point is I can fix this!”

Daruk stands, and crushes her in an embrace. Mipha joins in an instant, and then Urbosa, and after only a slight hesitation, even Revali. Right now, there’s one person missing—but finally, Daruk is certain they’ll be able to make it up to Link soon.

GO S2 OPENING ANALYSIS PT 1 (also Potential GO spoilers idk)

I haven't really seen anyone go in depth on the opening for season two yet so I'm making to this to point out all the things i spotted and some theories this is SUPER LONG POST SO BE WARNED

Crowley crawls up while Aziraphale floats down which is fitting but there's also storm clouds in the distance so there might be a scene after the flood or it's a sign of impending doom

right after crowley and aziraphale go through that dark tunnel Gabriel(?) can be spotted with that infamous box

they're in the middle of a scorched village and crowley sets goats on fire which pretty much confirms that they are somehow going to be involved with the story of Job if not directly involved

here we have that Gabriel statue from the trailer and a gravestone with "EVERYDAY" written on it, the reoccurring song that somehow related to the mystery

here's another gravestone with something written on it, this was the best photo i could get and i tried lightening it but i can't figure out what it says so if anyone has any ideas feel free to share

gravestone with jane austen on it, this author has been referenced quite a bit from the info we have about s2 so far and is on the cover for the episode "The Ball" so looking forward to that

"HERE LIES THE FORMER SHELL OF BEELZLEBUB" so i guess that's Neil's explanation for them having a different actor? Beelzebub molted? gross but very creative

also im pretty sure that bottom one says "Here Lies ADAM" as in antichrist Adam? oh man i hope he isn't dead he was such a sweet kid

there's a guillotine in the far back during their walk through hell hope that isn't foreshadowing anything 0-0

they also have this office on a pillar above the fiery pit of hell which i find very funny but this could also maybe be related to Shax? where she used to work maybe??

a sign for an underground train station so i guess we'll be expecting a train station scene of some kind?

the group walks through this gate with "GENTS" at the top no idea what that implys but i'll put it here anyways

there's a "WINGS FOR VICTORY" sign on the side of this bus which is a reference to British saving campaigns during WWII so confirms more WWII era stuff with aziraphale and crowley

there is this poster for STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN and my first thought was the LED ZEPPLIN song but actually it's a reference this 1946 movie

in which a British wartime aviator who cheats death must argue for his life before a celestial court, hoping to prolong his fledgling romance with an American girl

so thats INTERESTING and COOL and totally doesn't imply ANYTHING about aziraphale and crowley's relationship or (potentially) maggie and nina's

but there is also a Zeppelin (it looks more like a blimp but whatever) and later on they go into a theater which looks very similar to the album cover for Stairway to Heaven

so I'm not gonna rule it out

there's a poster that says "THE FABULOUS LADIES OF CAMELOT" which is probably the group name of the show girls we saw in the trailer it says they are performing at the Windmill Theatre in London which is real and very famous for its Windmill girls who performed as nude living statues

i think this box is part of that saw a person in half trick and i can't wait to see Aziraphale attempt this trick and miserably fail like he always does, lot of laughs for sure

here's aziraphale on stage in his magician's outfit from the trailer but crowley is there as well so maybe he's his assistant? if so thats super funny and explains why crowley is not a fan of his magic act later on

very cute moment of crowley and aziraphale twirling around each other in the stars (this could be a nod to that moment that people spoiled for the first two episodes will know what im talking about )

this bridge they're walking on could potentially be the Humber Bridge near Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, England (?)

or just a random ass bridge lol i do love to theorize tho

this airplane has "THY KINGDOM AIRWAYS" on its side very funny gag

these cotton candy hearts appear to be raining from the sky which im not sure what that implies but this season is focusing more on romance so it fits (also crowley and azira sitting together on the roof cute <3)

here we have maggie's record shop and nina's cafe right next to each other with record banners on the street, maybe a promotional party for the store? there's also a jukebox with records stacked in front of it. there's a promotional image of aziraphale holding everyday on vinyl (that i can't find sorry) so maybe he's gonna use this jukebox to play it?

i believe this is Gabriel(?) holding the package and going down an elevator from Heaven so he wasn't lying about needing to deliver something to Aziraphale something must've happened to him on his way over

one of the group is holding a sign for the "The 2nd Coming" as in the second coming of Jesus Christ?

A bar called The Dirty Donkey, new location for aziraphale and crowley to dine at? there's a smaller sign there but it's impossible to read HOWEVER

it looks like a holy figure standing in front of the opening of a cave, maybe an angel? considering the clothing maybe Jesus Christ?

I'm at my limit for photos so I will continue this in my next post!

(edit: here's the link for pt 2)

[electricseraph]

ok~ now that i’m im a bit of a better mood, here’s day 2 of proselfshiptember! for the prompt lock and key.

sunday x aventurine x lisette/me.

general cw, nothing too extreme but just proceed with caution! though brief mention of suicide but because of the nature of the dreamscape in hsr there was no real suicide. also pseudoincest. and obsessive behavior. and mentions of aventurine’s backstory, if you know you know, if you don’t you should be fine

also warning for the fact that this is based less off canon and more off of my memory of events (as in, previous life memories) so if details do not line up with canon, that’s why

“So Lisette is alive.”

Aventurine’s voice was laced with venom, her heart racing in her chest. How long had Sunday known that Lisette was alive? Just a few days ago, she had been bawling her eyes out in the Halovian’s arms, opening her heart to the other woman as the agony of having lost her baby sister overtook her. Had Sunday known then? But she had cried too. Surely…

“I know what you are thinking,” Sunday replied, so matter-of-factly that it almost made Aventurine feel ill, in an odd way. “I was not tricking you; I was also in pain. In that moment, I had also truly thought that Lisette had died. No, I only found out a mere few hours ago myself.” Her smile was unnervingly steady in a way that made Aventurine feel itchy. “More importantly, why are you still on Penacony after the stunt you pulled? Surely your job is done?”

Was that Sunday’s way of asking her to leave? “I’m not going. Not until I see Lisette again.”

“Oh, but you know she doesn’t wish to see you.”

“She does,” the gambler spat, trying to keep her expression just as steady. How pathetic that she, who was known for her luck and skill in a casino, could hardly keep a poker face when it came to her little Lisette. “Even if she says she doesn’t, she does, and I know she does. Where is she, Sunday?”

The chuckle that bubbled up from Sunday’s throat sent an uneasy chill down Aventurine’s spine. “We got off on the wrong foot. I do quite like you, Kakavasha. Actually, I have an almost… insatiable fascination with you. Do you know how that feels? To have your every waking thought consumed by another, unable to focus on anything else because you are completely, utterly infatuated?”

“Don’t call me that.” Was Sunday set on getting on her nerves? It was working. Though she had to admit, she understood that feeling, that burning desire. She felt it for Lisette for as long as she knew her, and… it wasn’t entirely inaccurate to say that she might have felt similarly about Sunday as well. “Anyway… sure, let’s say I get how you feel. Why are you telling me this?”

Sunday laughed again, almost manically this time, a warped excitement in her eyes. Aventurine knew that look too well. She took a step back.

“Are you afraid?” the Halovian woman asked, sounding like she wanted her to be. “Adorable. Lisette isn’t very far. She’s right…” She lifted up a hand and tapped her temple a few times, slowly. “…here. Safe and sound, where she can never hurt herself again. Where no one else can ever hurt her.”

It felt like Aventurine’s heart caught in her throat, and she had to resist the urge to reach out and strike Sunday, to grab her by those fluffy, fragile wings and force her to speak. The rage was uncomfortable. “What did you do to her,” she said flatly, coming out as more of a statement than a question.

“You look at me with such anger. Isn’t that what you want for her? To be tucked away somewhere safe where this awful world may no longer taint her purity? Better a dove to be locked away ‘til her dying day than to be crushed to death by man. How can you disagree, when you’ve been with her through to worst of it? Or maybe…”

Sunday took a step closer, a delirious, possessive expression on her face. She cupped Aventurine’s cheek almost tenderly, like a lover.

“…you would like to join her? To be locked away in the depths of my mind where you are safe as well, to have the key thrown away so you may never leave, so that no one may force you to leave? Doesn’t that sound enticing?”

Aeons. It did. To be freed of suffering, of loneliness, to be free of the IPC… it sounded like paradise. But if she had learned anything in her twenty-seven years of life, it was that anything that sounded too good to be true likely was. She jerked away, though the anger in her eyes had subsided. “I’m not as weak-willed as Lisette. And anyway, I promised that I would protect her until the day I die. If you are somebody who could hurt her… then you’re my enemy too, just like anyone else.”

Though Sunday seemed displeased with this answer, she didn’t seem surprised. “Hm. Very well. But you don’t seem to understand that I would rather die than become just another somebody who has hurt Lisette, and despite you calling me your enemy, I am not fond of the idea of you getting hurt, either. I really do like to think that someday, we can become friends.”

“Maybe,” Aventurine said slowly, choosing her words carefully. “But before that day can come, I’ll have to save my little sister from you first.”

[ozimagines]

I hope your doing well!

Could we have some headcanons for the reader turning out to be Kellers long lost teen kid? They were adopted but wanted to learn more about there real father and Toby ends up taking on a father figure role while Chris is busy freaking out. If you can ofc and I hope your doing well!

When I say I CACKLED. Keller having a panic attack over a kid while Beecher actually raises said kid is TOO funny. Like the only thing that could make it funnier is a stressed out Said playing uncle. So I think I’ll add that too😂

This one’s a little long sorry 😅 It’ll be in parts. Two or three I think.

Chris Keller, Tobias Beecher, and Y/N in: Paternity Test part 1/?

Your parents told you that you were adopted from a young age. You never minded. They’re your parents; the people who have taken care of you your whole life. They never lied, they just supported. For many years, you didn’t care about your birth parents.

But something inside you itched. You still loved your family. And they were your family, no matter what any test said.

But you were curious. Had to know.

Your father, sitting you down one day and talking with you, decides to give you a lead on your bio dad. He hands you a piece of paper. It has a name on it, a phone number, and an address, though you’re not sure if it’s his address or just a place he frequented.

You walk into the area. It’s a sports bar. Nothing fancy. Wings and fries and such.🍻🍗

You see a golden haired man sitting at the bar, alone, drinking a water with a lime in it, conversing very friendly with the bartender. When the bartender left, you approach him. He seems like a regular.

You sort of appear next to him, and he flinches when he turns and sees you there. You apologize.

“Im sorry! I’m… I’m trying to find someone. You look like a regular.”

He chuckles a little and gestures to his non-alcoholic beverage.

“Used to be too much of a regular, if you understand, kid. What’re you doing here anyway? No kids in the bar section.”

Tears well up in your eyes and you just break down.

“Im here to meet my birth father and I don’t even know what he looks like but I know this address means something to him. I just want to reach out. I don’t know, maybe it’s stupid.”

“Hey, that’s not stupid. You’re just trying to understand where you come from, that’s not bad or selfish. What’s his name? I’m Mr. Beecher. My boyfriend is a bartender, so I’m here a lot. Maybe I know him?”

“Christopher Keller.”

His face goes pale, and his eyes wide.🫨 He just repeats the name after you for a second. You think you understand.

“…dad?”

“I- no, I’m not Chris.” He shakes his head and gestures for the bartender to come down.

You really get a look at the bartender this time. Dark, unkind eyes, half shaven face, a confident strut. He reminds you of the guy who picks on you in school. You suddenly want to leave.

“Hey, Tobes.”

“Chris, honey. This kid… what’s your name, kid?”

“Y/N.”

“Y/N who?” Keller responds, teasingly. “Or is it like Beyoncé or Shakira? Like just a single name?”

You giggle a little and say, knowing now who you’re speaking to;

“Y/N Keller.”

After his startled expression, you muster out a small;

“Hi, dad.”

Keller’s not an easy person to catch off guard but baby, you made an IMPRESSION. 🤣

His eyes flick from you to Beecher, to you again.

“This some kind of prank?” He asks lowly, and you feel a knot form in your stomach.

“I don’t think so.” You respond, handing him the piece of paper. “I already got in contact with my biological mother. Bonnie Applegate?”

Keller freezes, looking you over. You didn’t even really look like him. Your eyes were soft and kind, like Bonnie’s, and even with your darker hair and features, the prominent nose, and the crooked smile… fuck. You were his and Bonnie’s alright.

“Miss Bonnie seems like a sweet lady. She told me I could call her Mom if I want. But I don’t know. I love my family. I just want to love my whole family if that makes sense.”

Chris and Tobias exchanged looks. Chris was panicking, big time, Tobias realized.

“Well… ya met me. Is that all?” He asked. It sounded more unkind than he meant it but your face drops.

“Oh… I thought maybe you wanted-“

“Of course he wants that, Y/N.” Toby pipes in, and Chris gives him an omg what the hell are you doing look. Toby smacks his hand a little.

“Maybe you’d like to come over tonight for dinner. I was actually about to go get it started while Chris finishes up his side work.”

“Toby!” Chris admonishes, still looking you up and down like an alien. You’re not sure what to say.

“C’mon, Y/N.” Toby starts to stand and put his coat on. “We’re family. Family takes care of each other. Come home with me, we can talk while making dinner. Chris, I’ll see you at home.”

Toby leans in to kiss Chris on the lips and give him a short hug. Chris grabs him during the hug part and whispers.

“The fuck you doing, Tobes?”

Tobias smiled genially and led you away.

“I’m stopping you from making a decision you’ll regret.”

The ride over is a little awkward, but Beecher puts his whole pussy into making conversation with you. You’re a little shy, and still more than a little confused at if you’re doing the right thing.

That is until Beecher throws on “Tubthumping” by Chumbawumba and starts singing to it off key. You can’t help but laugh.

He leads you into their home; a sweet little suburban home with a bright red door.

“Holly insisted at least our door doesn’t look like everyone else’s” he explains, and then remembers something. “Oh, right. Holly is like your sister.”

“I have <another> sister?”

“Kinda. She’s mine from a previous marriage, but Chris has stepped into a fatherly role with her so I consider her your sister.”

“Wow. Turns out I didn’t just have a mom and a dad I didn’t know. I have a mom, two dads, and a sister I didn’t know. Am I… am I doing the right thing?”

“Absolutely.” He answered without thinking. Because he didn’t have to. In his mind, you’re already his and Chris’.

You’re in his home and he starts mixing things into the crock pot like some sort of witch. He gets you a capri sun in the mean time.

“You’d think those are for Holly, but they’re really more for Chris.” He laughs to himself as he remembers Chris in the store silently sliding a cherry capri sun box into the cart.

“Cherry ones are my favorite.” You remake, and he smiles over at you.

“Yeah, I kind of figured.” ❤️

See, Toby already loves you. He loves how fatherly Chris has gotten with Holly, but Toby can look at Holly and see only his face and her mother’s. When he looks at you, he sees Chris. The dark eyes searching everyone over. The little sniff you do with your nose when you’re trying not to cry. And your voice. It’s got that same sing song as him. He’d always wanted to have a kid with Chris. Biology just said no.

“So, you met Bonnie?”

“Yeah. Have you?”

“We always have her for dinner when she’s in town. She’s a traveling news reporter now. We’re so proud of her. She’s also become Holly’s godmother. It used to be my wife’s sister, but that’s a whole other story.”

“Um… I actually have a few questions about that.”

“Hmm.” He thinks with a smirk. “Shoot.”

You ask about him and Keller. How did it happen? Is his dad gay? Is that why you were given up for adoption?

He explains as best he can. Everything. Prison and Schillinger and such. He’s a firm believer in giving kids the truth.

Chris comes home after an hour. He sits in the driveway for a minute before entering. Like meeting you was just some bad dream.

“Ya gotta go in.” Holly reminds him from the back seat. He picked her up from some afterschool club. Something to do with the environment, he thinks.

“I know.”

Silence for a moment.

“You’re still not going in.”

Chris loved Holly but she could be a real ball buster.

When he enters, Beecher’s got the family photo album out and is showing you everything.

Plus you’re drinking one of his goddamn cherry capri suns.

“This one’s Keller in high school.” Toby stares at it dreamily, and a Chris can’t help a smirk.

Beecher greets his daughter and introduces you. She’s nice enough, even if she keeps sending unsubtle looks to Keller.

“Wanna see my room?” She asks with a shrug. You say yes. She’s a few years younger than you.

“I’ve always wanted to be not the oldest. Then I was an only child and wanted a sibling of any age.”

She explains Gary but Beecher already filled you in.

“So here are some things you need to know. Dad is my dad. Pop is your dad. But they’re both our dads now. My dad doesn’t drink anymore. Pop does on occasion but never in front of dad. Oh and Pop’s real freaked out about having you here.”

You ask why.

“It’s not personal. He was like that with me at first. Like, weird about kids. But I think with me he could always tell himself I was my dad’s. Now he’s got you, and the only connection to himself is himself. And he doesn’t like himself very much.”

“Wow.” Holly was straight to the point. You agreed to be patient with him.

“Oh, and whatever you do, don’t compliment my dad’s food”

“Um, why?”

“Because he’ll never make it again. He considers it a level completed. If you like it, keep your mouth shut. If you don’t, tell him how much you love it and you’ll never see it again.”

You and Holly are laughing down the stairs, you chasing her down them.

Beecher’s heart is very full, watching his and his boyfriend’s kids getting along so well.

He wraps his arms around Keller, who’s washing up at the sink to cut some bread. He presses his nose into Chris’s back, and kisses the center.

“You’re awfully springy today.” Chris teased, smiling darkly. He knew why.

“This is wonderful, Chris. You weren’t in the place to love Y/N before. Now you are and he/she/they found you.”

Chris nodded, but said nothing.

“Don’t think I can tell when you’re freaking out?” Toby asks slyly, checking on his creamy chicken recipe.

“Leave it, Tobes.”

“Fair request. No.” Toby responded cheerfully. Chris may have been able to protect him in Oz, but domesticity was his… domain, as it were.

Keller rolled his eyes at his overly confident, nerdy ass boyfriend.

“Kids! Dinner!” Toby called from the kitchen. There’s silence for a second.

“Always wanted to do that?” Chris called over his newspaper.

“Yup.” Toby answered, prepping plates for each of them.

You and Holly file in, still talking Minecraft.

“Don’t know your appetite yet, Y/N, but I’ll show you how we do it. Here’s your plate. Rice is on the stove, tortillas are warmed in the microwave in case you wanted a burrito instead.”

You look towards Chris, who is doing his darndest to not make eye contact with you. It hurts a little that your dad’s boyfriend is being more supportive than your biological dad.

There’s no issue in dinner conversation, Holly’s got that covered. There is a guest during dinner, however.

Theres a knock on the door. Keller tells Holly to ignore it. That anyone comes during dinner can come back later.

“Actually, Chris, I invited a family friend over I think might be of some help to Y/N during these confusing times.”

“Oh, fuck me, will this day not end?” Keller’s hands slump in his hands.

“Swear jar.” Holly sing songs. “I’ll go let him in.”

“I didn’t say who it was.”

“Please, that reaction from pop only means one thing.” Holly bounded from the room and chanted “Uncle Kareem!”

You were shocked. Your dad knew THE Kareem Said?

Keller hadn’t taken his head out from between his hands.

Sure enough, Kareem Said, clear as day, walked into the kitchen/dining room. He’s got Holly in his arms.

Kareem had really come to love Holly. After they were released, Beecher asked if he would be Holly’s godfather as it used to be his father. Kareem accepted the position from the man he’d come to think of as his brother.

Said regarded you politely, Beecher almost begging him to have a seat.

“Keller.”

“Said.” Keller said, still looking constipated as he forced a smile. “Nice of you to join us.”

“Thank you.”

The two had never gotten along, turning into a brother in law type situation. (Or if Holly ever wants to give back the two dollars Keller paid her to keep her mouth shut; Keller called him his mother in law on several occasions.) But they both loved Beecher, so c’est la vie.

“That’s Y/N.” Holly waved at you. You waved back. This was turning into the strangest family you’ve ever seen.

“Hi, Y/N, do you go to Holly’s school?” Kareem has often prided his ability to talk to kids. Normally the kids are cutting him a break though.

“No, actually. It’s kind of a long story.” You admit, eyes suddenly aware of all the people in the room. “I did a book report on you last year though. Modern civil rights activism.”

Kareem is beaming at you now, asking which books you used as material.

“Y/N’s doing very well in school. Taking college level classes.” Beecher’s already bragging about you like you’re his.

“I don’t understand.” Kareem asks after a minute. “What exactly is Y/N’s relation to you all?”

Everyone flounders. Chris hasn’t stopped tapping his foot nervously since the conversation began.

“Oh for Christ’s sake. Y/N is pop’s kid.”

“Holly!” Beecher admonishes. She shrugs, as if to say ‘it’s true though’.

“Which ex wife?” Kareem asks bitterly. Keller gives him a bombastic side eye.

“Two and four; Bonnie.”

“You married my mom twice?” You ask confusedly. Keller shrugs.

“In my defense, she said yes four times. Twice to will you marry me, twice to will you divorce me.”

“I see two wise decisions in there.” Kareem picks, pinching the bridge of his nose in his fingers.

“Can I ask a question?” You raise your hand like a school kid. The adults immediately soften. Despite your maturity, you were still a kid.

“Please do.” Kareem gestures you forward, taking a sip of the ice tea Beecher made him.

(Beecher makes amazing iced teas. Helped him quit drinking on the outside. He made them from loose leaf. Today was hibiscus and pear.)

“I know you all were in prison. Oz, right? That’s were my da…” he hadn’t told you that you could call him that yet. “That’s where Mr. Keller met Mr. Beecher. And you?”

He explained the godfather situation and looked fondly at Beecher.

“Though Tobias lives far outside what Allah would consider the correct path, I know my brother has more love and passion in his heart than anyone. He’s got a beautiful family.”

You feel tears start to well up in your eyes. This was all still a lot for you. You just wished your dad was the one saying all this.

“I provide Tobias with spiritual counsel. Upon request, I will provide you the same.”

“Thank you.” You’re a little choked up. “Thank you all. I know this has got to be weird. But… I just needed to know who else was out there.”

“It’s like uncle Ryan says; ‘you can pick your nose but you can’t pick your family’.”

“Please never quote uncle Ryan at the table again, sweetie.” Beecher asks, Said responding with a low chuckle.

“Who’s uncle Ryan?” -you

“Your dad’s friend.” -Kareem

“Not my dad’s. My pop’s.” -Holly

“He was kind of my friend.” -Tobias

“So my dad and my pop’s.” -Holly

“Third base.” -you

“Third base.” -Keller, under his breath.

Your eyes lock. He stares away after a moment.

You do have his eyes.

You and Holly wash up with uncle Kareem after dinner. Toby readies the family room with Chris.

“Is everything alright, Y/N?” Kareem asked you, drying a dish Holly handed him.

“He/she/they’re worried that pop doesn’t like him/her/them.”

“She’s right.” You’re mentally kicking yourself right now. “I mean if I had a whole new awesome family and the old one just showed up…”

“You’re a part of this whole new awesome family, dingus.” Holly squirts some water at you. You dodge and it hits the minister.

You apologize profusely! (Holly doesn’t but she’s gotten used to him by now.)

His OCD is screaming at the soap suds in his shirt but he waves it off.

“Holly is very wise for her age. Family, I’ve learned, doesn’t just look like one thing. Ours is not a traditional family, but I’ve grown proud to be a part of it.”

Kareem has his arms around Holly, looking down at her eyes exactly like her dad’s. He’d gone to every spelling bee and every birthday party and every science fair and soccer game and so on for this kid. He loved her like his own niece. That said, revenge is revenge. He traps her arms behind her and looks to you.

“Go, Y/N!”

You gently slash soapy water on her as Kareem holds her in place. Her giggled can be heard from the living room.

Toby is getting the fruit bowl out and the couch cushions just right as Keller looks on streaming services to find something to watch.

“Earth to Mr. Mopey.”

“Not tonight, Toby, I’m fuckin exhausted.”

“Chris.” He sits down next to his man, running his hand up Chris’s thigh. “You and I took a prison revenge honey pot and turned it into a family. Schillinger is rotting away, and you and I have a daughter we love, friends that love her, and now we have someone new to love. And he/she/they even have your eyes.”

He pauses for a second, hand on his hair, musing.

“Think it would be weird to ask Y/N for baby photos for the family album?”

“Alright, sparky, settle down. You can’t keep ‘em.”

Beecher asks what he means.

“I’m glad this was fun for you for a day, but Y/N can’t stay forever. He/she/they’ve got their own family.”

“So our family just doubled in a day. I thought we’d have to wait for Holly and Adebayo to do that. After all the people we’ve lost in and out of Oz, isn’t it amazing that our family is growing?”

Keller sighed. Beecher moves so that he’s sitting in Keller’s lap.

“What’s the matter, big guy? You love Holly. Legally adopted her. What’s the difference?”

“She’s your kid. I mean, she’s mine too, but there’s none of my poison rattling around in there. She gets good grades, keeps her nose clean. That’s all you. Y/N could be anything. Because at that age, I was doing anything.”

“You’re worried Y/N’s gonna be like you?”

Keller nods, wiping away at a dewey eye.

“You know what… I hope so.” Beecher says resolutely. Keller scoffs but just tries to steady himself before you guys enter.

You watch a little Cheers after dinner. Holly is cuddling with Kareem, who is getting the best of both worlds living his vicarious dad fantasy though Beecher’s kid.

Toby and Chris are cuddled up.

You look at them, happy but still wishing for any sort of affection from your dad.

After, the three adults stay downstairs to talk, Beecher leaving for a second to tuck Holly in.

She hugs the others goodnight.

“Goodnight uncle Kareem.”

“Goodnight, beautiful girl.”

“Goodnight pop!”

“Night, hon.”

Beecher tucks Holly in. He shows you to the guest room.

“Are you too old to be tucked in?” Beecher asks cautiously. You laugh and shake your head no with tears in your eyes.

“Good. I was hoping I didn’t miss that time with you.”

He tucks you in and kisses you on the head.

“Give your dad some time. He’ll come around. He’s just anxious.”

You nod but you don’t believe him.

“Mr. Beecher?”

“If it’s not crossing a line, I’d actually prefer you call me dad.”

You nod and mouth a thank you.

“Thank you, Dad.”

“I talked with your dad. He said you can stay here as long as you want.”

He turns out the light and blows a kiss.

Meanwhile, in the bat cave.

Chris and Kareem are sitting silently on the couch for some time.

“I will, once again, offer you the same spiritual counsel I offer your… Beecher.”

“My Beecher and I appreciate that.” Keller responds, dryly. “What exactly was the sos call this time?”

To be continued!

[littlekingbergara]

So i get people who want watcher to speak out about the genocide that is happening right now, im sure you are all have good intention and im not going to change your mind on that. Its good if more people talk about it. But im not in the side of nonactivist speaking about something like this and i understand if they dont speak more about this. Theres a couple of reasons more than this, but this is the big reason.

1 ) this doesnt happen in their country, it happenned with Israel and Palestine, while yes American is definitely supporting the military of Israel, we need to understand this isnt like BLM and Stop Asian Hate, that they talk about before, this doesnt happen in their country.

2 ) Activism isnt just online, im pretty sure they are talking about what happenned in Gaza with their friends and im pretty sure they are definitely not in the side of genocide from the track records on how they support BLM and their support Stop Asian Hate.

3 ) as someone who is raised with an Islam religion, while genocide is not a complicated subject to talk about. What happenned with Israel and Palestine is. I have heard so much " do you condemn hamas thought ? " and i know alot of jewish people who are simply just living their life keep getting asked "Do you condem Bibi Netanyahu for his action on genocide? " Its so ridicilous the ammount of time people see this as the holy war between Jewish and Muslim instead of an actual humanity issues that is happening right now.

Now i understand how this could definitely make people angry, and you dont have to agree with me. This is simply a personal opinion, because i get it honestly i have been so harassed by alot of stranger recently ever since this genocide that i just stopped talking about it online and have a nuance conversation over people i can see in real life.

Sam Young have shared instagram stories about Palestine, and Tammy Cho, Steven wife, also share instagram story about the genocide and have been doing it for quiet sometimes ( i need to put this here, but this is definitely because Tammy Cho is an activist first and foremost ) and im sure they will not be friends or work with people who deny genocide. If you want to have quiet a relief.

Now on to the reason i speak here now,

To see Sara Rubin getting called a Zionist despite her not saying if she is or not, is absolutely antisemitistic and it pissed me the fuck off. For the bluesky post she made about "Just feel like we need to normalize not speaking about things you dont know about." Could genuinely be fucking about anything. ESPECIALLY, because she is jewish.

None of you will understand truly what its like being called zionist as a jewish person who never shared if she is a zionist or not, none of you will understand when a right-wing politician, that is antisemitistic from the beginning, that genuinely most of you keep retweeting about, suddenly use the word zionist on their post and suddenly alot of you all keep retweeting their postmbecause you didnt realize when they say zionist they mean jewish people. Like she literally could genuinely mean the antisemitism she faced and the ammount of misinformation that is filled with antisemitistic rhetoric. Its too vague of a post for you all to assume if she is a zionist or not from that.

Anyway my last note for this post, please in all genuine have kindness for the muslim people and jewish people who is struggling right now because of the genocide, the ammount of hate crime they have to face everyday. Please for the love of Allah, i want you all to do just a really quick check if you share information, you reblog from or retweet from, is it from someone who is antisemitistic or someone who is islamophobic? Just genuinely do a quick check, and if you already understands what considered dog whistles, it might be easy for you to figure out where the person stands. And despite alot of post of " zionism does not equal antisemitism " you are all making. There is ALOT of people who equals zionism as antisemitism. Just, listen to Muslim and Jewish people around you if you post something wrong. That is all. And btw i bet alot of you doesnt know what zionism actually is if you accuse sara rubin of being one, because the word "sara is making the watcher boys not say anything about the genocide" sound alot like jewish people control what people are saying, and isnt THAT an antisemitistic rhetoric. Be aware on how you word out your post, just becareful. And truly the last last word, you can support palestine without being antisemitistic, by focusing on how to actually help palestine, talking about what is happening in palestine helps alot but i do recommend this PCRF ( Palestine Childrens Relief Fund ) and Palestine Red Crescent Society helps and provides aids to Gaza people ( idk how to link them but hope you all do a quick search ).

Alright, sorry for the really long post but i hope i get my points across correctly, and i truly just want peace for Muslim and Jewish people.

yeah obviously i can't speak to what they're talking about in their personal lives. i don't think it's about pitting the whole of judaism against the whole of islam for the majority of people. it's about the genocide of palestinians on top of the myriad human rights violations and war crimes imposed on them by israel.

you can absolutely support palestine without being antisemitic and without blaming every jewish person. thank you for providing resources! i'll link them here: pcrf & prcs.

[echowithpain]

Alright. I know this is like super fucking late but I can ✨explain✨:

I got sick 😘

ANYWAY IM LESS SICK NOW 💃 SO HERE WE GO!!!!

Before we get into the breakdown of the episode, one question that popped into my head that I never got to type out is "How are the body cams gonna work if they're in a fire?" I know it's been a bit since the 118 has responded to any 5 alarm fires and had to go inside, but were the cameras heat proof or fire resistant?? What if the footage got burned up or you couldn't see anything because the lenses got smoke damage? Even though they never acknowledged that possibility in the show (besides the "you break it you bought it" line)/the body cams might never come back, I just wanted to bring it up

Okay! Captain Asshole taking Buck "under his wing" was funny as fuck and I loved how uncomfortable Buck looked through the whole thing 🤣 Oliver Stark is one hell of an actor 🥰

Next, the male cheerleader being ass backwards storyline was actually great for Eddie. The kid as he's getting wheeled away telling his mom not to call his dad before passing out, and for the first thing he did when he woke up was ask for his dad 🥺🥺🥺 Eddie needed to see that. To see that even though the kid was saying he didn't want to see his dad, he didn't really mean it. Just like how Christopher acts like he doesn't want to talk to Eddie, he just doesn't know how to after what happened (also fuck that storyline last season wtf), and being with his grandparents isn't helping that either

For the Hen and Karen storyline: Fuck that councilwoman 🖕🤬🖕 (also fuck the writers) I'm glad they were able to fuck over the councilwoman and get Mara back, but can we please finally have a break from these kinds of storylines for the lesbian couple? First the cheating, then Karen not getting pregnant, losing Nia, having Denny meet his biological father behind their backs, and then losing Mara and getting their foster care license revoked. Please let it end.

You know what I wanna see more of? I think it was the FOMO episode in season 5 when someone stole Karen's purse that was in their car and was using Hen's credit card that was in it. They tracked down the person to a club and ended the night dancing. THE ENTIRE TIME THEY LOOK LIKE THEYRE HAVING A BALL!!!!

GIVE US MORE OF THE WIVES BEING FUN AND HAPPY GOD DAMMIT!!!!!!!! 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤

*sigh*

Anyway moving on to the tiger storyline, OH MY GOD IT WAS SO CUTE!!!! 💖🐯💖🐯💖🐯💖 I don't know if it was the lighting or just because tigers are naturally beautiful, but all shots with the CGI tiger were really pretty! I wanted to pet it 🥰 especially when it was a cub 😭💖😭💖😭💖

Also real quick, why didn't Maddie tell the woman to move away from the bathroom door? I know she told her not to open it, but I'm talking about earlier when she was telling her how to stop the bleeding in her leg. Why not say "make sure you're as far away from the door as possible"? I know Maddie probably didn't know she was right up against it, but you'd think she'd say it anyway because in case first responders need to break it down, you don't wanna be in the way of that. -1 point I guess?

Now, I feel like I need to clarify this. When I said this I meant I accepted Gerrard's "apology" for talking shit about Hen with the councilwoman. He's still a bigoted racist misogynistic asshole as shown in the previous episodes and the golf scene. He hasn't done anything to attone for that, and the fact that he gets to be comfortable in an easy job with his man crush is unfair. I understand he switched jobs with Bobby so the 118 could have him back, but still, feels like he was let off easy. Kinda like how some people are ignoring the fact that T*mmy acted the same way because they think he's hot 🤮

-1 point for unfairness

.

.

.

Was that all? I think that's all. Oh wait, I loved Bobby and Athena going house hunting and Athena not liking any of the homes. I was a bit worried when we could clearly see Bobby wasn't on board with rebuilding the old house, but they quickly eased my mind when he sat her down and explained that the old house was for her and Michael and they agreed to build a new house together 🥰💖🥰💖🥰 Love them 💖

Also Maddie and Chim are still amazing and I need to see the 118 + co playing paintball with each other. Maybe they go to a place and everyone has fun and there's some humor only for something to happen to one of the other teams and they have to help. Idk, I'm not on the writing team, but I will say this: Athena, Eddie, and Chim need to be on a team and absolutely DOMINATE everyone. That is all. 💖

Episode Rating: 🐯7/10🐯

-1 point for Maddie not telling the woman to move away from the door (she could've told her earlier and the woman easily could've moved back to it when the tiger was trying to get in), -1 point for Gerrard getting off easy and being comfortable in a job he likes, and -1 point for vibes. Idk man but something's keeping me from rating this an 8/10. I can't figure it out now cause again, still sick, but once I do I'll come back and yell it into existence lol

I'd say I'm excited for the next episode (I mean, I am), but I'm worried about what might happen to Denny 🥺

Guess I'll find out in a few hours 🤪

Thanks for reading and I'll see y'all for my liveblogging 😘✌️✨
