[anxietyfrappuccino]

do skully have pokemon?

Pumpkaboo is the obvious one, but y'know, sometimes the obvious one is the right one! (we'll say SUPER SIZE Pumpkaboo, just for fun. big pumpkin for big skeleton boy.) and another person actually also suggested Greavard, which I somehow hadn't considered, but feels so perfect that I feel like I should have. dangit.

(they can also have little Nightmare Suit costumes :D)

Lightsaber Theory: Obi-Wan "Sith Lords are Our Specialty" Kenobi consistently loses duels to Dooku not for any reason of technical form mismatch or lack of ability, but because Dooku is not even pretending to try to kill him. Resultantly, Obi-Wan can’t figure out what the fuck is going on when they fight. 

Obi-Wan: (preparing to defend an expected lethal strike) You’ll answer for your enormities, Count!

Dooku: (giving him the lightest love tap on the leg) Don’t be so sure, my special good lineage baby boy, so perfect in my eyes. 

Obi-Wan: …What?

Dooku: What?

Which Dooku and Obi-Wan proud lineage moment is even the most unhinged? There are so many to choose from! Is it Dooku’s frequent inability, both in AotC and TCW, to keep from spontaneously gushing about Sidious’s plans and even his own dark secrets to Obi-Wan?? Is it the time in Labyrinth of Evil where Dooku drags a long-suffering, bored Grievous over to watch a holorecording of Anakin and Obi-Wan thwarting his plans yet again, to point out how beautifully they’re working together as a team and how much he likes watching their lightsaber work evolve? Is it in the recent Brotherhood novel, where Obi-Wan just has to casually namedrop Qui-Gon to get Dooku to do exactly what he wants?

Obi-Wan is a big problem for Sidious in his mission to destabilize and corrupt Anakin, and Sidious knows it. He needs him out of the picture to do the same isolating, evil bullshit that worked so well when ensnaring Dooku himself. But the war has been going on for years now, and guess who remains inconveniently alive? And whose job was that to take care of? Oh yeah. I remember. His useless, Padawan assassin-collecting apprentice: fucking Count Dooku. By the time of RotS, Sidious has specifically ordered Dooku to make fucking sure Obi-Wan is dead only for him to completely ignore the command about a half-dozen times.

Going by the Stover RotS novelization, in the same scene where Dooku also literally refers to Obi-Wan as his fucking grandson actually, add that to our earlier list, Sidious reiterates that KILL OBI-WAN is the plan (over the sound of Dooku’s loud complaining) moments before that final duel.  I kind of wish we’d gotten a shot of Sidious's incredulous, enraged expression as Dooku knocks Obi-Wan unconscious and pins him safely out of the way. He is, once again, going out of his way to not kill Obi-Wan in that duel, and this time directly disobeying his Master to his face after they just had a conversation about it. You just know exactly what Sidious must be thinking at that moment. Oh, Dooku. You are so fucking fired.

one day the world will realise that tom riddle is not a hypersexual sex god who calls you “doll” upon your first meeting and is instead quite literally a try hard NERD who most likely spent most of his time finishing his homework and then doing more academic research for “fun” and then i will be the happiest person in the world.

Jaskier graduated summa cumme laude from the most prestigious university on the continent. He acts like a superficial and disinterested bard all the time, but from time to time he acts like what he is, a master of the 7 liberal arts: Grammar, Rhetoric, Logic, Geometry, Arithmetic, Music and Astronomy.

Geralt doesn't notice this until Radovid shows up.

Every now and then Jaskier would blurt out a nonsensical comment that usually isn't meant for anyone, other than Geralt with his great ear, to hear.

The prince, hears everything that comes out of the bard's mouth and it is surprising when he laughs at whatever Jaskier said to the bard's amazement. Most amazingly, Radovid responds with another nonsensical comment that makes Jaskier laugh.

Geralt looks at them with a frown. Jaskier stops his laughter and eagerly asks the prince if he has read the philosopher he was apparently quoting. Radovid launches into a story of how his private tutor forced him to read the philosopher and he subsequently became enchanted with the man's writings and read his work for his own pleasure.

The more they travel, the more that happens. It turns out that the apparent nonsense Jaskier occasionally spouted is actually quotes, references and facts from philosophers, poets, astronomers, mathematicians, etc., that he was taught in college or read himself. Radovid responds to each of them with charm and delight, because apparently, Radovid has read them all as part of his royal education.

Geralt is not jealous. He isn't. No matter what Ciri and Yennefer say. He just doesn't like being out of the joke, doesn't like both of them acting like others aren't there and having to listen to their academic conversations when no one but them seems to care.

He just doesn't like that Jaskier smiles like never every time Radovid quotes an old poet of yesteryear that no one but them has read, as if it's an inside joke, because there should be no secrets in their group. He also doesn't like it when Jaskier laughs so loud because that can attract monsters. He hates that Jaskier sits next to Radovid every night talking about boring books because they are mere humans and if something attacks them, then both will be in danger and Geralt will only be able to save one (cof cof Jaskier), it's simple strategy. And absolutely not jealous because the bard now asks the prince for his advice when he writes songs, it's just that was something that used to de-stress Geralt and now he can't sleep well anymore. It's simple comfort.

But it all finally goes to shit when Jaskier turns down Geralt's invitation to spend the winter in Kaer Morhen because stupid Radovid invited him to his castle on the coast where he apparently has the best collection of maritime astronomy on the continent.

Geralt spends all that winter stuck in the library of Kaer Morhen reading anything that might interest Jaskier other than bestiaries. He tries very hard not to think about his bard and the prince huddled in front of the fire looking up at the stars until late at night drinking wine, getting closer and closer and closer until…

No. He won't allow it. When he sees Jaskier in the spring, he'll be sure to casually mention everything he read in winter, he'll make a fool of the prince when Geralt shows his bard the ancient books he brought him from the Wolf school library (not that Vesemir needs to know what came out of his precious library).

He'll graduate summa cumme laude from freaking Oxenfurt if it means getting his bard's attention again.

"I know you said it didn't hurt, but what does it feel like? The thing you lost?"

One of the most fascinating minor characters of the books for me and a fun subject for brush experiment

Lesbian horses.

Y'all fw Twilight Sparkle x Pinkie Pie? Cuz I do.

I've never drawn "mlp friendship is magic" fanart before, but I wanted to try my hand at redesigning some of the main six, so have a Twi and Pinkie ship post !!

These are very rough drafts of what I imagined for them, so they'll probably change, but I still like this piece <3 Haven't watched the show in a while, but I've been thinking about it !

Sorry for not posting much Octonauts lately, I've been wanting to, but I am just really burnt out for some reason 😓 --- it sucks and makes me feel awful 😖

This blog IS Octonauts focused, but I'm trying to give myself more freedom in hopes I'll get back into it.

A while ago I read a post about Bruce using weird punishments instead of corporal punishments for his kids so today I would like to submit my childhood punishment

Standing with your nose to the wall

This is especially effective on Dick because it is super boring and he can’t really move or see what’s going on but all the kids hate it

Posting memes that took me 6 seconds to make getting over 50 reblogs vs. my deep charater analysis posts getting 3 likes from the same 3 people who, like all my other posts, is SO social media coded.

As outkast says, "Yall don't wanna hear me you just wanna dance."

But those of you who do wanna hear me AND dance- What do you want from the gas station?

FOR WIP WED CAN YOU PRETTY PLEASE DO MATH NERD OF NEIL JUST BEING SO NORMAL AND ANDREW JUST DYING CAUSE HE HAS A CRUAH ON THIS NORMAL ASS DUDE

WIP Wednesday (7/19/23) - Closed | Math Nerd AU

Aaron had come to know bits and pieces of who his brother is. He knew not to touch Andrew without asking, he knew that his brother didn't give a shit about Exy, he even knew bits and pieces about the friend that Andrew had been looking for.

The thing he most knew about his brother was that he did not let sweets go to waste. He didn't let ice cream melt and he didn't let hot cocoa get cold.

So when he came to the cafeteria and found Andrew sat across from Neil that wasn't unusual. What was unusual was that Andrew's bowl of ice cream had melted and he was staring straight at Neil who had his tongue sticking out as he was cutting away something with scissors.

"What's wrong. Your ice cream is melting?" Aaron asks in German wondering what in the world is going on.

"He's cutting coupons." Andrew says as if that explained it.

"Okay? And...?" Aaron tries to prompt.

"He gave me his membership card for the chain supermarket. He gets fuel points." Andrew continues.

Aaron continued to fail to see what the issue was but Andrew had a white knuckle grip on his spoon as if he was mere moments from lunging over the table and stabbing the freshman.
