Aqua went on a big adventure across Disney worlds and never once did I get the impression that she was having fun...

Lol. Again, that was actually something I enjoyed about her. She was all about duty and discipline, to the point of ignoring emotions and familial bonds. She couldn't even enjoy Disney, for crying out loud. And she was the only one who didn't consider Stitch a potential friend until she saw how Terra and Ven had accepted him. She did nothing but deride Peter Pan for how he treated his friends, not understanding what he was doing at all. The way she acted in Castle of Dreams, as if the world was a mission and not a new world to explore.

It was all phenomenal make-up to incredible character building. You know. Before all of that got thrown in the trash for 'perfect-as-she-is' interpretations. Sigh.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep - Commands - Confetti

With Frylock being the only one with a proper bed in the whole house, I like to imagine this happens often

[blowingoffsteam2]

I love how when kh3 came out people were complaining about Aqua just standing there as the heartless tornado comes to sweep her away and people were scoffing at the idea that it was intended to show ptsd from her time in the RoD like Nomura is incapable of showing characters having trauma responses? And then Remind came out and was like um yeah she does in fact have ptsd from her time in the RoD.

the sooner everyone realizes this the sooner we can just finally move past all the discourse to just focus on the story and why the characters are doing the things they are doing (very specifically ruby)

Not sure if I'm gonna ruffle some tailfeathers with this, but I think the Heartslabyul characters are the weakest out of the whole cast.

Outside of Riddle, they're all pretty underdeveloped and bland. Ace is just the Everyman trope, and there's literally nothing to him outside of that trope. Deuce is just the stereotypical "former delinquent with a heart of gold" trope and that's it. Trey is just the generic "Big Brother"/"Glasses" character that shows up in every shojo anime.

The only one that has potential to be more interesting at the moment is Cater. He seems like he has severe depression and puts on a chipper mask to hide that from everyone. But, that plotline isn't allowed to go anywhere partly thanks to the fact that dorm has so many characters, she has a hard time balancing everyone's screen time.

Hell, even Yana seems like she has no idea what to do with Ace and Deuce anymore. In the main story, they are reduced to minor roles outside of Pomefiore after Octanivelle. They only show up for a couple parts during Scarabia, and the same thing happens during both Ignihyde and Diasomnia. Considering they are the "friend characters" and had a big role before, that's not a good sign.

As is, Cater adds nothing to the story. Like some said before, you can write him out of the story and it would make little difference.

Hell, Trey fits in that category, too. His backstory with Riddle and his desire to stay on the sidelines is interesting as well.

I honestly think that Ace and Deuce should've been scrapped, and Cater and Trey to be reworked. Those two have potential if they were actually given the development and scene time to shine. There are just so many characters in the game that they aren't given that opportunity.

Scrimbly Jacqueline 40/50: Mel and Jacqueline commit a felony; are caught and apprehended by the mutually agreed upon "hottest magibean alive"

🫧🌊💙❄️☃️

"Closed as well?" "So it would seem." "Damn! What is UP with that?! Why is every apothecary specializing in poisonous ingredients CLOSED?!?! Don't they know we have a guy to kill and also maybe even a whole ass cult, too?" "Apparently they didn't get the memo." "Oh! What about that one you and Lucy frequent?" "Beg pardon?" "You know! The apothecary with that lady you like—" "NO! Absolutely NOT. We will not be going there. God. Every time I go in there I leave absolutely mortified, and that's assuming I don't faint again." Jacqueline snorted, a hand quickly coming up and covering her mouth as Mel whipped around and glared, thunder rumbling in the distance. "Sorry, sorry! I just...AGAIN?!" "Well at least I am AWARE enough of my crush to faint about it." Jacqueline's shoulders fell as she hissed through clenched teeth. "Ouch. You cut deep, Mel. You cut real deep. It's cool though! I get it. Getting you to Lizzy to use your charm and good looks to score us some men-who-write-their-sevens-weird-ending poisons and then some is not plan A or B." "Or C or D and perhaps not even Z. Really? That was your plan?!" Jacqueline shrugged. "It was like, last ditch plan. I mean, the alternative is to wait but the longer we wait, the longer weird sevens guy is hitting up Luce and that simply won't do." "Absolutely not at all. God. Have you seen them? How he writes his sevens?" "YES! Jack showed me. It's so freaking WEIRD!" "Right? We simply cannot let this go on, I'm afraid. Hmm." Mel tapped her chin. "What to do, what to do..." "Okay. I've got one more idea," Jacqueline said, watching as Mel paced back and forth in a small circle, her skirt dripping a bit. Her brow was furrowed; she tapped her chin as she paced. "But I think you will like it even less." Mel stopped pacing. "Oh?" "Let's go see Chimera." Mel blanched. "Oh dear god. You want to go do what?!" "See Chimera! I mean, look, Mel. She's the poisons guy, right? You wanna get rid of someone, she's your go to." "You want me to go to someone objectively hotter than any other aforementioned apothecary to get the things we need to take care of this creep?" "She is pretty damn hot. I'd say like, top hottest magibeans for sure." "And what, you want to go and just knock on her door? Stop in for tea, a chat, and leave with a goodie bag of potions and poisons?" "Yes?" "No. Nope! Not at all. There is no way I'd survive that." "Well. You got me there. She is pretty terrifying. May actually kill us. Hmm. Okay, okay. Hear me out." "Oh, absolutely! Agreed." "Not what I meant but yeah, you're so right." "See? I'm already flubbing it up!" "Flubbing?" "Jacqueline!" "Sorry! Sorry. That's just a really fun word! I'm gonna steal that one. Flubbing. RIGHT! OKAY! Focusing." She took a deep breath in and squished her cheeks, taking a moment to compose herself. "Hear me out, Mel. What if we just...break and enter?" Mel looked visibly relieved. "Yes, yes. That I can do. I'll go fetch my harpoon and—" "Oh, no need! I think we can handle it sans harpoons." Winking, Jacqueline raised a glowing hand, wiggling her fingers. A conniving little smile spread across Mel's face as she lifted her own glowing hand in agreement, the pair of magibeans cackling into the night as they poofed, disappearing on the spot.

🌸🧪❤️

Moments later, the pair of them stepped right over the walls with a snowy and watery assist. They landed on what looked to be plant free ground, the water pooling back into Mel's skirt as Jacqueline waved the snow onto hers, freezing it in place with a very brief clenched fist. Grinning, the pair high fived one another, sticking close as they wandered down the path. The deadly plants were gorgeous. Some of them stretched high above the pair, towering over the leafy poisonous plants. Poison ivy and oak twirled together, stinging nettle abound. The paths and gardens stretched on, beautiful deadly flowers dotting the greenery with blues and yellows and reds, some plants growing fruits and berry looking things that were, quite obviously, very poisonous. "Whoa." "Watch the nettle, Jacqueline." Jacqueline stepped back, keeping even closer to Mel. "Right, right. That's one of the little stingy bitches." "Quite stingy, actually. Now, let's see. Where did I put that list..." Mel patted herself up and down, reaching into her watery sleeves and letting out a little "A-ha!" as she pulled a slightly damp rolled up list out of the left one, unfurling it quickly with a deft flick of her wrist. "Right. Here's what we need to—" Mel looked up, finding herself face first in icicles and crunchy hair. "Jacqueline! A little warning next time you come to a dead stop—" "Uh..." Poking around Jacqueline's shoulder, Mel blanched. In front of them stood Chimera herself. She looked down at them (Blimey, she's tall, Mel thought), arms crossed, her face unamused. An ear twitched. Behind her, her snake tail poked around her, looking at the two of them in what may have been a perplexed way, or an annoyed way. "Dear lord. She's even hotter in person." "Mel!" "...I said that out loud, didn't I?" "You sure did." Jacqueline cleared her throat. "Hi! Chimera! Uh...fancy seeing you here?" She winced, scratching the back of her head. "Right. Well. I mean, it is your garden so..." She raised an eyebrow, hands moving to her hips. "Well, since Mel's being honest," (Mel herself colouring behind her snowy friend), "I may as well too." And, taking a very long, very deep breath in, Jacqueline launched full speed into the most rambling explanation possible. "So basically Mel and I need to kill a guy. He's been bothering Luce and he writes his sevens weird and she told us to not kill him but he writes his sevens weird, not to mention he's like, a HUGE creep. HUGE! Lucy was all "don't kill him he's just being nice" but Mel and I disagree. So we went hey, what about secret murder! Not as obvious murder? Lucy doesn't need to know, and BOOM! POISON! So off we fucked, but all the local places that have the poisonous shit we need were closed, so I suggested we come see you, but both Mel and I are super intimidated because you're like, one of the hottest magibeans we know of, so we thought it'd be easier to break in? To your garden? Of poisons?" "Is that so?" Mel and Jacqueline (the former still hiding behind the latter) shared a look between each other. A mutual shrug. Jacqueline turned back to Chimera. "Yeah, that about sums it up. He's really very creepy." "A grade-A creep," Mel added. "Who writes his sevens weird." "And basically STALKED the woman!" "So now we need to kill him." Chimera tilted her head. She let the two woman sweat for a bit before grinning. "You had me at kill a guy."

So @lmelodie gave me this idea a HOT MINUTE ago and it ah, it has spiralled. It's one of three, y'all. This one was from LAST WEEK but between a visit home and the World's Slowest Cold, I wasn't able to post it proper until TODAY lmao.

I have also stolen @kscribbs's little guy ONCE AGAIN and she'll be hanging around for this lil trio of scrimbles once more, lol.

AND AS A BIG HUGE DISCLAIMER RE: THE LITTLE SMILEY SNIPPET: I HAVE 100% FUDGED WITH EVENTS OF MILLER'S LAW TO MAKE THIS SCENARIO WORK, AND I AM SURE BOTH MEL AND MERA MAY BE SLIGHTLY OOC, SO MY APOLOGIES FOR THAT. I HAD A LOT OF FUN WITH THIS, THOUGH, AND I HOPE YOU ALL DO/DID TOO. I AM HAVING A LOT OF FUN WITH THIS, TBH!

I just never considered the potential of these three? Hanging out? And then I did and. Well. Here we are!

Chimera was so fun to draw! I was staring at the sketch in awe after I finished it like "woah. I did pretty ok!"

I think she actually has stripes now? But I was using lmel's GORGEOUS art of the woman and neglected to cross check the recent Chimera post until AFTER the ink had dried so. SPOTS FOR NOW I SUPPOSE!

Anyway, enjoy! Stay healthy. Wash your hands, etc etc. It's like a bonafide swamp of sicknesses out there right now and I do NOT wish the World's Slowest Cold on ANYONE. It sucks. I thought I was better Monday, went to work Tuesday, came home and absolutely DIED. Been home since. Fingers crossed tomorrow is a healthy day! We're coming up on Turkey Day Weekend in Canada and I'd like to go see my family and drown myself in mashed potatoes without fucked up tastebuds 😎😎😎

For a social experiment I want to see something

I want to do a drinking game where I put up any other adult cartoon vs Hazbin Hotel or Helluva Boss and any time they swear I take a drink

So like idk season 1 of South Park versus Hazbin Hotel or Aqua Teen season 1 versus Helluva Boss just to see something

I’m gonna do it with water first just to see what I’m getting myself into.

I saw your tag about Brown eyed Braig being sung to the tune of Brown Eyed Girl

And I need you to know that is exactly, 100% what is happening inside my brain every time I say it.

CLAPPING CHEERING......i miss his pretty big brown eyes.........

braig's texture/model/appearance/vocal performance/characterization/name are all subtly different enough that in my brain hes just a completely different character. im fully aware that this is arbitrary and makes no sense and i do my level best to remind myself that he is the exact same character. but i fail often.

but even then. even still. i legitimately get kinda emotional when i think about his brown eyes. pensive emoji.

I just think Oshi No Ko could've been extremely good if it hadn't been written by a man

[aquagirl1978]

Nice as your answer is to the anon in regards to blocking people I think it also misses the core issue that is the confidence of anon. What makes anon feel so inferior? I feel that is something they need to confront with a therapist because that honestly sounds concerning. Telling them that it is okay to block is telling them it is okay to hide away from their problems instead of facing them.

Thank you anon for your advice, but previous anon was not asking me if they needed therapy. They asked me if what they wanted to do was weird. I am not a mental health professional. It is not my place, from my seat in Tumblrland, to be suggesting to anyone here to go seek therapy.

Previous anon seemed troubled enough - they needed a hug, not to be told they need therapy. For all we know, previous anon is already in therapy and perhaps too shy to ask their therapist about fandom/hobbies. But previous anon did not ask me "do I need therapy" they asked if what they were thinking/feeling was weird.

(DISCLAIMER: This is NOT to say I am against therapy. I have been in therapy myself and am a big advocator of seeking help when needed. However, I also will not push therapy as the answer when someone asks me a question such as "is this weird")

barbie girl by aqua is one of the most backfired attempts at satire in history

Okay, so you know how Get Hit’s Hydreigon is a lower level in BW2 than it is in BW? 

I’ve heard a fair number of takes on this, but here’s mine:

((ADDED SIDENOTE: Nobody has to adhere to this headcanon! As of writing this post, I���m in the middle of writing the Ghetsis fight in the fic chronicling Hilbert’s journey, and it’s just something I thought of as I connected some dots!))

Hydreigon lost one of its arm/heads in the battle against Hilbert, which takes away a little bit of its fighting power. The Life Orb it holds and the fact that its moveset is physical in BW2 could be a way of attempting to make up for that loss: with how long it would take Ghetsis to raise another Deino to full evolution, replacing Hydreigon would be more trouble than it was worth for Ghetsis.

As for how Hydreigon lost that arm?

It could be argued that he had the misfortune to face Michelle in that battle. 

Michelle, whose mother was an unusual Samurott who once encouraged her to use whatever trick she had if it meant protecting what was precious to her.

Both Pokemon were evenly matched, but Hydreigon was faster. Dragon Pulse took out most of her stamina, she could not take another one without going down. 

It didn’t take long for her to decide that if she was going to go down, she would do everything she could to fuck Hydreigon up and spite Ghetsis in one go. Her main motivation was to protect Hilbert at all costs, but any sense of honor had gone out the window at that point - right now, her actions were dictated by a desire for revenge.

So she used Aqua Jet to get close to Hydreigon. The Dragon-type was caught off-guard by the move, with created the perfect opening for Michelle to tackle the dragon to the ground and bite as hard as she could onto his shoulder (where Hydreigon’s arm met the rest of its body). It was only when she tasted blood that she grabbed a seamitar and swung. 

She didn’t stop until Ghetsis had to return Hydreigon to his PokeBall, but she had accomplished her goal by that time. Hydreigon’s arm could still be flopping onto the floor beneath her, the head giving out a pathetic wail before it stopped moving for good. 

She honestly hadn’t expected to survive, so she went all-out.

Ahahaa..heheheee..ahahee

I'm so close. Wonder if I can get them all before I hit 300 hours?
