[andro-dino]

wooo currently on the road rn and I’m gonna be for a while so I’m gonna drop some miscellaneous hcs I’ve been thinking abt. feel free to gimme some hcs too I get the feeling I’m gonna be very bored for the next 20 hours

- in one of the wild fang episodes, I think Madoka mentions that Vulcan horuseus has a very unique fusion wheel and energy ring so I like to think that Nile designed them himself

- an idea I thought was neat is that the reason karura wears all those bandages is because he’s got a ton of burn scars that he’s covering up. At the time of canon, he’s memorized the exact patterns of the terrain and fire bursts around DNA’s base, but that must’ve taken a lot of trial and error to figure out, so I imagine he’s probably got a good couple scars to show for that

- sakyo at some point starts occasionally calling takanosuke “taka” and he tries to be casual about it but people start teasing him once they pick up on that

- on that note, I really like to think that even though sakyo tries to be super cool and intimidating even after he’s technically become friends with everyone, no one else really takes him that seriously and none of them hesitate to make fun of him

- I’ve talked abt this so much before and I will never stop talking abt it I love the main friend group of shogun steel (Zyro Shinobu ren and kite). They’re all incredibly silly together and I think even though they make fun of each other all the time, they’re very openly affectionate and comfortable with each other. Also, even thought they’re all very smart and capable people in their own respects by themselves, together, the collective iq instantly drops. All of them are constantly fighting for custody of the singular collective braincell they share

- on the note of shogun steel friend groups, I’ve talked abt this idea with shekel a bit and I love it dearly, dna/bttf all share an apartment post-canon. It goes about as well as you would expect. Very constant clashing personalities and arguments, balancing different food preferences while grocery shopping, all of them have different sleep cycles and half of them are basically nocturnal, genjuro’s the only one who even vaguely resembles a functional human being, it’s a mess and they wouldn’t trade it for anything.

- baihu is the one person who doesn’t have a designated sleeping spot. Technically he has his own little blanket and pillow den in one of the closets but mostly he just goes where he so pleases and no one has any power to stop him. Sometimes he sleeps on top of the kitchen cabinets, sometimes on the floor. Sometimes the others wake up with him sleeping on top of them, sometimes they (mostly spike. I think he’d be a heavy sleeper) wake up on the floor with him in their beds instead. I’m not convinced he hasn’t somehow slept on the roof at least once.

In light of the recent uptick in second gen characters n stuff, I’ve been thinking abt some ideas with some of the other characters.

- Zeo is very much in the camp of not wanting kids because he does not trust himself enough to raise another human being. He and the rest of team dungeon would already have their hands full enough as is with all of the new dungeon gym kids also.

- I don’t think King and Masamune would mind having kids though. They’d be surprisingly functional parents i think. Toby and Zeo would be good babysitters.

- Benkei I think would want kids of his own, but already feels fulfilled enough with all the shogun steel kiddos, and is probably also too busy running bull burger and the bey park to think about it.

- Axyl and Chao Xin settle for pets over human children. They have a ragdoll cat called Muddy Mittens (Axyl’s idea) and a chocolate lab named Tico (Chao Xin’s idea. He seems like a chocolate lab kind of guy yk?). Axyl also wanted pet rats but decided that would not be a good idea with Mud. Essi meanwhile is disgusted that her sibling has become a “no real kids just fur babies” adult.

[real-total-drama-takes]

Pet headcanons for the new cast:

-Wayne has a dog but it likes Raj more than him

-Priya’s parents probably gave her a pet bear or something as part of her training.

-Millie has a cat. I think it’d be an orange tabby or a tuxedo cat

-Julia also has a cat but it’s one of those fancy-looking ragdoll cats

-Ripper has a turtle

-Nichelle would have one of those little dogs that can fit into a handbag or purse and it would be her pride and joy

-Zee has a hamster or a guinea pig

-Bowie has one of those little fluffy dogs like a labradoodle or something.

-Axel would have a german shepherd or a golden retriever

-Raj has both a dog and a cat. He sets up dog playdates with Wayne’s dog

-Scary Girl would have a tarantula or some other typically “scary” pet for the novelty of it

-Chase doesn’t have pets because I refuse to believe that someone who likes animals would find his prank funny

-Emma has a bunny

-MK has a saint bernard

-Damien has hermit crabs and fish

-Caleb has birds. I know we don’t know a lot about Caleb but I think he’d like birds.

writing patterns

Rules: List the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!

I want to play!

Tagging: @snowflake-of-destruction ; @localcryptideli ; @government-assigned-riku-kinnie ; everyone else - I am tired and can't remember usernames right now but I think this is really cool and want to see more of them

(1) Striding through the grand, cream-colored, high ceilinged hallways of the Destiny Kingdom palace, hung with sharply fragrant garlands of woven branches of evergreens and berries, threaded with glittering fairy lights, Axel expertly balances a tray of rapidly cooling hot chocolates on his shoulder and forgives himself for committing petty theft twice in the past half hour.  - Invitation Only

(2) The tapping sound is ceaseless, like a downpour pelting a window pane, and even from the depths of the sleep of the dead and the damned, wrapped in satin sheets and surrounded by lusciously thick curtains that don’t spill a drip of sun, Ansem hears it. – The Coffin

(3) Ansem the Wise doesn’t like to use phrases like “human sacrifice” or “lamb for the slaughter.” – Songs of Sunset

(4) Xehanort opens the portal of light and steps through without waiting to see if Eraqus will follow, the dark cloak billowing out behind him his only farewell.  – Sink or Swim

(5) The air already smelled sharp with rain, but Riku was wearing reliably worn hiking boots, and the September morning was a warm one, so he decided to go on the date alone.  – Enshrined

(6) Strickler is not sure the flowers are going to cover it, but he brings them anyway. – Disaster Uncle

(7) “Don’t burn your tongue.” – There’s No Place Like Hell for the Holidays

(8) The summer sun burns the color of a blood orange against the hazy dove gray of the Halloween Town sky, and Roxas imagines as he stares up at it that, if she could, Sally the Ragdoll would pluck it from beyond the atmosphere and use it in one of her potions. – Please Do Not Feed the Heartless

(9) “As we’re all in unanimous agreement regarding launching the Hatching Dragons Initiative as this year’s senior prank—aside, of course, from myself—I suppose that concludes our final order of new business on the agenda.” - Selfless By Technicality

(10) “I should call and tell them I can’t pick up the cake.”  - Indulge Me

I see three styles here. One is what I learned in creative writing class: character + location + intrigue, with some flowery scene setting description for immersion. Another is short, pithy, and unexpected, makes you want to know more and easy to read a few more sentences since the first was brief. The third, starts with dialogue, tosses you right into a scene, but still lays the ground work for what the conversation might be about and, again, is unexpected enough that you want to know more about the situation.

Do you notice any patterns I missed?

Summary:

When the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town enlists Axel, Roxas, and Xion to spice up his summer farmer's market with their own cute but deadly Heartless, they're afraid to say no.

Fortunately, unlikely help with questionable motives is not far off.

Harley Quinn once formed a team of other joke themed villains like Punch, Jewelee, Trickster and Ragdoll. She called them the Clown Crew. They were defeated by the combined forces of the Creeper, Plastic Man, the Heckler and Ambush Bug.

Spoilers for Flash #68!

This is the official preview, which you can also see at Superhero Hype.

I...don’t know what to say about the circus of Rogues.  But it’s very unusual to see Roscoe having fun and that makes me smile, even if it’s almost certainly because of mind control.

[grifalinas]

hayleydirectium replied to your post “So way back when I originally created Eurig, he was a RWBY oc, and his...”

Do it

It’s very unfortunate that I made him the Tinman because between him coming to realize the strength of his tactician’s mind + looking for his memories, he fits more with the Scarecrow. But thematically he’s the Tinman!

Oh well, there’s no reason I have to stick rigidly with the rules, the source is just a suggestion.

[xiiiwayfinders]

Hear me out, Ansem SoD cat is the cutest lil ragdoll cat ever, but like i said before, she was overweight so Ansem had to put it on a diet.

On the other hand Lexaeus cat no one knows how's cat let her pregnant, not even Lexaeus know.

💻 attack on titan au

house arryn was a prestigious house within wall vale, with a strong history within the cadet force. ravella’s eldest brother, rowan, was made lord commander at the age of thirty; the youngest ever lord commander in history. fierce-some, dangerous...and yet, respected by his men. humanity’s strongest. 

ravella herself joined the cadets when she turned sixteen, and found herself as skilled as the rest of her family. in time, her younger siblings joined, however soon her sister rosalyn was arranged a match with a prestigious family within wall north; it ended up being rowan, ravella and rhys. 

the day they heard wall north had broken and overrun by titans, and the reported death of her only sister, ravella remained silent as chaos erupted from around her; she would find those responsible for what had happened. she would hunt them out, until her last breath.

rowan and tristan often spoke to her of being too impulsive and reckless on missions, risking holding up the entire mission, seeing as rowan would need to pause to look for what it was his sister was doing now. that changed nothing, it only got worse.

it was then rhys heard reports of house lannister of the west wall having knowledge of the secret within the walls; it was during that meeting the lord commander found himself secretly taking guinevere as his wife. little did ravella know at the time this had been going for many a year. 

to their shock, there was a leak within wall dorne in the name of a place called kings landing; a place where people called targaryens ruled. as the upcoming war came to a head to root out the traitors who had broken wall north and cross the sea to this kings landing, it happened. 

terror and tragedy came for wall vale, as the armoured and colossal titan threw their men and women aside like mere ragdolls. the ancient cadets of the vale were fighting for their lives to hold the titans up. wyatt grafton had managed to do damage to the back of the colossal’s neck, and yet, it was clear to see they were losing - and quickly. 

in the corner of her gaze, amid the chaos and the terror, ravella spotted the brothers of house royce having a tense exchange; though her gaze only looked around for the lord commander, her brother...what had become of him? where was he? no brother, you cannot. axell - you cannot do this. do not stop me. 

the armoured was in her eye sight...it was in this moment she could get her revenge for rosalyn, if only she managed a shot whilst he was still in the process of healing. and suddenly, there was her brother, on the ground. “rowan!” she screamed, as the ash cleared, missing the debris of a falling house. the lord commander was upon the floor, cradling something...covered in blood. it was not his own, he was fine, and yet, she knew that head of golden hair. 

suddenly there was a voice she knew well; a voice of terror, a voice that drew her in. “to all the subjects of ymir, my name is axell royce, my objective is to protect the people of wall vale, the wall titans shall trample all earth outside of this island underfoot until all life existing there has been exterminated from this world.”

the rumbling had begun.

The CW Rogues: My Biggest Gripe With the 2014 Flash Show

In many ways, the CW Flash show is what got me into comics. While I had watched (and loved) Justice League and Justice League Unlimited and read loads of DC guidebooks as a kid, it wasn’t until I saw a clip from the 2014 CW Flash show that I really got invested in the DC Universe. While I had already started watching B:TAS (and loving it), Batman wasn’t what got me into comics. No, that was the Flash...or rather, it was Captain Cold. While watching a clip from the Justice League episode Flash and Substance on YouTube, I saw a link to a clip from “Family of Rogues” (from Season 2 of CW’s Flash). Intrigued by the premise, I found the show on Netflix, watched the entire episode, and was hooked. Not only was the Flash just as nice as he had been on Justice League, but two of his Rogues were siblings, and they actually cared about one another. I wanted to know more, so I looked Captain Cold and the Golden Glider up. My research into Cold and Glider led me to the other Rogues, and soon I became a Flash fan. I watched the show, I re-watched “Flash and Substance”, I read articles about the characters from the comics...and eventually, I started reading the comics themselves. I loved the characters and the lore, and I enjoyed the generally lighthearted tone of the books even into the modern era. Unfortunately, as I learned more about the comics, I grew less and less interested in the 2014 TV show. It made too many alterations to character I liked in the comics...and eventually, I basically stopped watching the show out of frustration. Ironically enough, by getting me into comics, the show alienated me from itself....and a big reason for that was the way it handled the Rogues. Here’s a rundown of the CW Rogues, and why I was frustrated with most of them. 

1. Captain Cold. I actually enjoy Captain Cold on the CW show; he’s recognizable as Len Snart and his sarcasm game is on point. (It doesn’t hurt that Wentworth Miller is really attractive, either). His relationships with Lisa, Mick, and Barry are fantastic, and it’s a relief to have him be treated as a competent threat. That being said...he’s a bit too suave for Captain Cold, isn’t he? Silver Age Cold thought he was suave, but he wasn’t; and modern Captain Cold is middle-aged, grouchy, and very rough around the edges. His smooth, suave nature reminds me more of classic Sam (the original Mirror Master) than Captain Cold. 

2. Heat Wave. Dominic Purcell did a great job with the role he was given, and physically he’s an excellent match for Mick. That being said, CW Mick is very different from the Mick in the classic comics, who was a bit dim-witted and rather gentle and sweet for a supervillain. CW Mick, by contrast, is, as I think @gorogues put it, “Hothead McAngryman”, which wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t seem to have bled back into the comics themselves. Villains with fire powers being hotheads is a bit overdone, so I’m not thrilled to see comic Mick being put into that role. 

3. Golden Glider. Hands down, Lisa is my favorite of the CW Rogues. Despite the fact that her costume and power set are completely different than they were in the comics, they managed to get her personality down pretty well; making her just as dangerous and competent as the boys. Flirtatious, crafty, devious, and yet still at least somewhat sympathetic, the CW version of Lisa Snart takes home the gold for the best adaptation of a Rogue. If only they hadn’t completely forgotten that she existed. 

4. Pied Piper. Note that I have not seen his Season 6 appearance, so I’m just judging this based on his appearances in Seasons 1 and 2. Piper is disappointing; in his first appearance he wasn’t as fun as Silver/Bronze Age Piper or as sympathetic as modern Piper, and I’m not crazy about the idea of him being motivated primarily by revenge on Wells/Thawne, since that wasn’t his motivation in the comics at all. I also don’t remember him being able to puppet or hypnotize people with his music, which is too bad, since that’s his main schtick in the comics. What’s more, if you want to reform a character, don’t do it offscreen via reality warping and then forget about him for four seasons. It sounds like his Season 6 appearance was better, but I haven’t seen it so I can’t comment on it. Also, “the Pied Piper” is kind of a nonindicative name if he doesn’t play a pipe/flute. 

5. Trickster II (Axel Walker). Axel was actually decent in the CW show. I still like comic Axel better, but they got the gist of his character down and even made him a bit sympathetic. In fact, he’s probably in the top three best Rogue adaptations that the CW did. 

6. Trickster I (James Jesse). I love watching Mark Hamill play CW’s Trickster...but man, he is not playing Giovanni Giuseppi on the CW show. He’s playing the Joker with a different name. It’s especially weird since we know from JLU and that one short where Mark Hamill plays himself, the Joker, the Trickster, and Swamp Thing that Hamill can do a non-Joker Trickster and do it well, so my suspicion is that it was just because Trickster was also the Joker in the 1990s Flash show (where he was also played by Mark Hamill). Regardless, murdering random people and threatening to blow up small children during Christmas is not something the Trickster should be doing. 

Although this does prove Mark Hamill could do a live-action Joker. I’d pay money to see that. Mark Hamill is a great Joker. 

7. Weather Wizard. CW Weather Wizard isn’t egregiously bad. He’s not out-of-character like Trickster, and he’s not boring to watch, but at the same time it feels like there’s something missing. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t quote Twain. Maybe it’s because there’s not the sense that he was a loser before he got his powers. Maybe it’s because they changed his origin completely (and also made him older than Clyde for some reason). It could even be because he’s not wearing a green leotard with a huge collar, puffy sleeves, and ridiculous elf boots. Whatever it is, though, he’s just missing that spark that makes me like comic book Wizard so much. 

8. Mirror Master I (Sam Scudder). I don’t know how you make Sam Scudder more boring than New 52/Rebirth did, but somehow the CW version of the character pulled it off. Granted, Cold had already stolen some of Sam’s characterization, so that didn’t help, but they could’ve leaned into his skills as an inventor or his love of showmanship or something. Instead, we got a generic thug with what was basically Evan McCulloch’s power set. Boo! Boo I say! 

9. Top (Roscoe/Rosa Dillon). The Brave and the Bold Top is more interesting than the CW version, and he doesn’t even have spoken lines! That’s how boring this Top is. Also, the gender swap was pretty pointless. I wouldn’t have minded a female Top if she’d been intelligent and creepy and snobbish in the way that Roscoe is, but why even bother changing the gender if the character is going to have such a minor role? They also substantially depowered the CW Top, since Rosa can’t spin at super speed and isn’t telekinetic. A massive missed opportunity. 

10. Mirror Master II (Evan/Eva McCulloch). I can’t comment on how good of a character Eva is, since I haven’t watched any of the episodes with her in them, but I will say I am disappointed that the character does not seem to be Scottish, does not have Evan’s weird sense of humor, and lacks his tooth gap. 

11. Captain Boomerang (George “Digger” Harkness). Not only did he not actually appear on the Flash, but he was also boring and didn’t even seem to have an Australian accent. I was very disappointed with his role in the CW. 

And now for characters who aren’t Rogues: 

-CW Eobard is really good. I have no real complaints about him. 

-CW Grodd is also really good, though I do wish he was from Gorilla City as per the comics rather than a lab experiment. 

-CW Magenta got most of the important character beats down but felt a bit out of place with Barry as the Flash. 

-CW Shade was possibly even more boring than CW Sam, which is saying something. 

-CW Zoom didn’t really feel like Zoom at all. Not only was it weird to see him fighting Barry and not Wally, but he was just a generic serial killer and didn’t have Zolomon’s unique outlook on the world. The loss of his time manipulation powers was likewise disappointing.

-CW Jay is really good. I love him. 

-CW Jesse Quick has very little in common with her comic book counterpart; I like the comic version better but don’t actually mind the CW version all that much.

-CW Wally is decent enough, though I don’t see why they couldn’t have kept him as Iris’ nephew rather than making him her brother. Also, they didn’t use him nearly as much as they should have. 

-CW Barry I generally like a lot; Grant Gustin is a good fit for the character. That being said, I do wish they hadn’t given him the dead mom origin, which was a retcon I am not fond of. 

-CW Iris is quite good (in the first three seasons, at least); she’s intelligent, loyal to Barry, dedicated to her job, and quite independent. The fact that she and Barry were foster siblings in the CW universe is kind of weird, though, since it makes their romance kind of awkward. 

-Joe West is not Ira West (Iris’s father in the comics), but I actually don’t care. Joe West is made of awesome. (I like Ira too, but I like Joe enough that I don’t mind having him replace Ira.)

-The Fiddler on the CW had very little to do with the comic Fiddler. 

-I’ve never been particularly invested in the Thinker (comic or show), but I will say that the CW’s version of the character was very different from his comics counterpart. 

-CW Ragdoll was just as creepy and unsettling as comic book Ragdoll, though he had a very different backstory. 

-I never expected Baby Josh to make it into the CW, let alone as a gender-swapped teenager named Joss who wanted to kill Weather Wizard. It felt like they never knew where to go with her character, though, so it was a wasted opportunity. At least she didn’t die like poor Baby Josh, though. 

-Big Sir in the CW show is a MASSIVE improvement over the comic version. This is probably the only character I will say this about. Though I will say that I kind of wish he’d gotten his stupidly ugly comic book costume even though it would’ve made no sense. 

-Peek-a-Boo is a pretty solid adaptation of her comic book counterpart. 

-Rainbow Raider (Prism) is much better in the comics than on the CW show, where he only existed to be a boring plot device. 

-Linda Park dating Barry was weird, but they actually did a good job with her character before she vanished.

This is not intended as a criticism of anyone who likes the show or its characters; it’s just me musing about my personal problems with it.
