Re-watching wakfu for the first time in years and s1 Yugo was so silly???

dude discovered he could make portals at will and his first thought after actually acknowledging it is "i can do so many cool pranks with this"

Kickoff gojo is the type to go "I'm literally ryan gosling"

this is so funny bc i was literally just thinking the other day about how ryan gosling coded gojo is

pls i watched the fall guy recently and when ryan gosling locks himself in his car and jams out to all too well by taylor swift while dramatically reminiscing ab his lover i immediately thought of kickoff gojo ✋🏼💀 (link)

[oatmealcrisp-freak]

this is also why i prefer gray ghost to amythest ocean btw. the canon interpretation of sam and danny's romantic relationship feels so much like it just comes from this. theyre the main guy and the main girl, ergo they obviously must get together. sam, for all her counter-cultural ways, seems to share this expectation too. shes the main non-related woman in danny's life, ergo he's obviously hers. BIG FAN of toxic relationships dgmw but the way canon seems to just smush them together rubbed me the wrong way right from the start in 2004.

compare to valerie and danny's relationship. we got the enemies to friends to lovers to frienemies dynamic all the way through. their relationship is explored and fleshed out (insomuch as danny phantom ever fleshes anything out), they have to work to negotiate their feelings and be with each other and separate. they're treated more like characters than dolls, with tension and drama and verve, and there's so much complexity in the emotions there. it's, again to my recollection, way less cardboard cut out smashing dolls together Just Because and more... well, just more.

also

this still pisses me off. they butchered her to have this. they butchered that entire plot thread to have this. Danny Phantom has a lot of 'characterization as the plot demands' right along with 'powers as the plot demands', and that's always irritated me, but this, especially. THIS. i'm shaking Phantom Planet bY THE SHOULDERS THEY DESERVED BETTER THEY DESERVED SO MUCH MORE

btw this isnt to say that theyre cishet but. yknow what i mean lmao

@thuganomxcs has requested a story : Oh it was Yusuke just being Yusuke, the young man made his presence known with an audible hello as he stood behind them, planting a gentle kiss upon their cheek but his hands ever busy groping their breasts with a gentle hold. "Missed me?" He then proceeds to give them a lunchbox filled with rice curry.

𝑼𝒏𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒕𝒆𝒅.

Oftentimes , the two have to b a r t e r for spare moments to get together , to see one another ( both so busy but so devoted that they would be willing to carve out the time , to make the effort to put each other at the forefront whenever possible ) .  So it comes as an UNEXPECTED & PLEASANT SURPRISE when Yusuke decidedly is the one to make the time for Kaen ; in little ways , sometimes by showing up to campus to take them out or by stopping by their apartment merely to visit and drop off a meal.  Simple gestures , simple demonstrations of his affection , but the godling never ventured to ask for m o r e ; it is these things that made them all the HAPPIEST ( & they never failed to remind him of the fact ) .

Today seems to be one of those special days !

Kaen is busy somewhere nearby – it’s predictably crowded today , all a’bustling with the clamor of patrons milling about with their books and coffee – trying to get things together for a signing and reading ( their specialty , of course , kaen is nothing if not a perfectionist ; keen on details & the minutiae of things ) .  They hear his greeting before they see him , only just about to turn and return it before— His goddamn hands !  They k n o w they ought to be used to such fondling treatment ; they practically SIGNED UP for it the moment they started dating … And yet Kaen cannot help the rush of flustered ire that heats their veins and warms their fair-freckled cheeks ( how grateful they are their glamour is strong enough to protect their dignity a little more , to save them the embarrassment of showing off the way their stones are surely burning brightly with frenzy ) .  Gods , what NERVE this guy has sometimes !

Through the bite of sharpening teeth , Kaen stiffly looks over their shoulder , blue eyes bright with agitation , ❝ Y- Yusuke !  D’ye … Fuckin’... MIND ?! ❞  Can’t quite keep their voice hush enough , it earns them the glances and amused stares of coworkers and customers alike.  Kaen’s anger flares all the more at the prospect , they want terribly to fold themself up and d i s a p p e a r from view.  Taking hold of the lunch in one hand , they turn to face him , promptly balling up their other hand into a fist and KNOCKING HIM GOOD against the back of the head.  ❝ DUMBASS ! ❞  They don’t bother to restrain their strength , they know he can take a punch … Even with the backing of their inordinate power.  Hand settles on full hip , chin raising as they regard him haughtily.  It’s quite obvious , between the two of them , that this show of aggression is performative at best.  Kaen is hardly ever r e a l l y mad with him , no matter how much he tries their patience and pushes their buttons.  After all , fair is fair ; they do the same to him.  They sigh heavily , shaking their head.  ❝ If Ah say Ah DID miss ye , would ye promise not ta’ keep pullin’ stunts like tha’ in public ? ❞  Likely not even worth asking , they realize.

[violentviolette]

so, first of all yes, absolutely doctors are human beings and therfore can be and very much are frequently wrong. which is why areas like psychology and mental health are constantly evolving fields where new information is being proposed, discussed, challenged, and studied constantly. literally no one said otherwise, except ur reactionary defensiveness who inserted that into the conversation. everyone is capable of being wrong and thats literally the entire point secondly, the middle part of that statement is just patently and provably false. there is constant deep criticism of the medical industry in the us, fatphobia is being discussed and challanged now more than ever and new studies are being done that disprove previous junk science and expose bad faith studies done by the diet industry every year. maybe if u actually cared about fat people and were involved in fat activism and werent just using fatness as a prop for ur bad faith argument u'd very much know and see that. so there is really no point to make up that lie other than to develop ur own victim narrative where for some reason no one cares about any other issues and any criticism that u take personally is just bigotry and lastly, ur gonna have to define "study" because nowhere in here did i say the word study. i said hyperfixations and special interests. u inserted the word study. so if ur definition of "studying" something is the exact same as hyperfixating or having a special interest, which is what we're actually talking about here and is a process where u are self selecting information to consume with little to no access to resources u dont/cant know exist with absolutely zero oversight or cross checking and no one to challange any potential biases that u arent even aware ur being influenced by then sorry but no u are not at all an expert or an authority on anything and u are not qualified to give people medical advice and could very potentially be doing real world harm to people by spreading potentially dangerous and deadly misinformation but if we're defining study as in actual genuine education in a field, then nowhere does it say that autistic and adhd people cannot be qualified experts in their chosen fields. absolutely nowhere does anything imply that people with genuine education, research backgrounds, years of fieldwork and genuine study where they are given and exposed to new information they could have never known on their own and have their views and biases challanged and checked against others with a wide range of backgrounds, are somehow unqualified. because there not, they absolutely are qualified. there are tons and tons of brilliant nuerodivergent people who are experts in their field because they took years to learn and understand it. they put in genuine work and time and a tremendous amount of energy to gain the knowelge and understanding they have and they deserve every ounce of respect and credit for that

but the actual point here is that there is knowelge that u cannot gain simply by googling. there are things u cannot fully contextually understand by reading a wikipedia article. simply having autism or adhd does not *on its own* devoid of any other qualifications make u an expert on any given topic. that is not how brains or any human being works. and if hearing someone say that just because u put time and effort and energy into something does not mean u cant still be very deeply wrong about it makes u cry ableism then u've got way bigger problems and should maybe think about not responding to posts that upset u with blatently false information and bad faith defensiveness

unpopular hard truth time but having a special interest in something doesnt actually make u a qualified expert or mean u know what ur talking about

being autistic or having adhd doesnt automatically make u a savant genius and just because uve hyper fixated on a topic doesnt mean u understand it or are an authority on it

and I dont mean about media idc about blorbo from ur shows I mean people who say "personality disorders are my special interest so I know everything about them" "mental health is my special interest so what I'm saying is correct" "true crime is my special interest so I'm qualified to give my opinion on this"

u can have a lot of information on a subject and still be wrong. u can spend hundreds of hours researching and reading about something and still not understand or misunderstand it

hyperfixating on something or having it be ur special interest does not make u an expert on it. u can still very much be wrong. especially on topics that are very complex and require lots and lots of interpersonal experience and nuanced research to understand and have lots of readily available misinfo and therefore can't just be perfectly understood by u sitting alone in ur bedroom reading 500 articles about it

Cookie's Fic Recs

I feel like no one really does rec lists anymore! But last night I was feeling and sappy and mushy and decide to put together my own little list of fics I love. These are in no particular order, and they don't follow any real theme/tropes other than I dearly love them all, and you should definitely give them a read!

*I tried to tag everyone I could find a blog for, but if I missed anyone, please let me know I can tag them!

The Instinctual Gravitation Towards Warmth by kimkhimhant (@kimkhimhant)

This is my comfort fic. No joke, this is what I read when I want to die. It’s angsty as all hell, it’s made me cry, but it is so indescribably good. Kim is an addict going through recovery, finding love and family along the way. He hits rock bottom—arguably multiple times—but always claws his way back, always with the support of the people that love him. It’s such a beautifully written and cathartic story, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve read it. But it’s almost certainly the fic I’ve reread the most. 

Error in the Code by BlackwaterVial (@blackwatervial)

Sneaking this VegasPete onto my otherwise KimChay list bc it altered me. I think most people already know what it is, but jic: it’s a sci-fi/cyberpunk/android AU, and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever read. I go feral for androids and this fic delivers in all the best ways. The world building alone makes me weep. But all of the characters interactions, the way we get such an in depth feel for everyone despite the limited PoV, and the most satisfying take I’ve seen on android artificial intelligence ever—I can’t recommend this story enough. 

Idiots & Idioms by snickerdoodlles (@snickerdoodlles)

This one is actually a series, and it's genuinely so much fun to read. For the most part it's a SocMed fic with Chay taking over Wik's twitter and making it everyone's problem, and it's fkn hysterical. This one is actually a series, and it's genuinely so much fun to read.

Silver for Truth by snickerdoodlles (@snickerdoodlles)

This fic is the Kim & Khun vs. Tawan team-up we deserve. Kim is a ruthless, demented bitch, that's too cool to beat Tawan to death bc what if he messes up his wrists right before a show?? Big, get 'im. Kim is the feral-est cat ever, leaving behind evidence and bodies for Kinn bc saying "hey bro, I still love you/look out for you" is too much emotion for him. The fic is also from Tawan's PoV which also makes it the funniest thing ever, for reason that I won't spoil <3

The Wiked Lies We Live by shubaka (@shubaka)

Oh my god, this fic. Canon divergence (technically??) where most things happen as normal... except KimChay have been bodyswaped at the start of it. The little twists Shu puts on the events of canon, given it isn't the correct characters experiencing them (such as Big being very confused about why Kim is suddenly nice to him??) are so much fun.

A Portrait of Affection by froginthesun (@froginthesun)

Kim is an artist and Chay is the part time nude model he hires. ‘Nuff said right there, except no it isn’t, this fic is beautiful. Kim’s frustration with his craft is palpable, and so is the way he rediscovers his passion through Chay. The writing is wonderfully detailed, every chapter felt like walking through a museum. And tension slowly building between them—unf. 

Sunshine in My Closet by moneskin 

This is an A/B/O AU that is so satisfying to read. Typical hilarious boundary violations (Chay stealing Kim’s clothes, a bewildered Kim handing over a freshly worn outfit, having barely any idea who this strange kid is) characteristic of the AU, but then the story also delves deeper into more serious topics. Chay has a history of abuse from a past alpha that he has to learn how to navigate with Kim, who is incredibly patient and works hard to make Chay feel safe and loved. Overall a very sweet and comforting read. Seriously, this fic makes me melt.

Your Body Feels Like Disrespect by Blue_Jay (@bluejayfiction)

This fic is so funny because it begins with Kim blurting out, in the middle of an Important Mafia MeetingTM, that he and Chay aren’t having sex, and then wanting to die about it. Followed by Kim’s family trying very hard to both support and terrorize him. It’s hilarious, sexy, and one of my favorite reads when I need a pick me up. (Bless Kinn’s determination to be a Good and Supportive Brother, and Vegas for being the Worst Person Ever.) 

In Silent Screams (In Wildest Dreams) by BelladonnaWyck and StratsWrites 

This is definitely a darker fic. There’s DubCon, Kim is generally Sketchy, but it’s very hot. And I love explorations of his character where he isn’t just outwardly psychotic and cruel. This fic shows the kind of dark that I think Kim could have been, if you just tilted his character a little to the left. He still seems very much the way he is in canon, but he’s also… a lot more calculating and cold, sometimes. I love it. 

Forget-me-always by bisexualbard (@bisexualbard-writes)

I cannot sing the praises of this fic enough. I think it’s probably tied for IGTW for my most-read fics. I’ve probably read this one more often in reality, but only bc it’s shorter. But oh my god, does it hurt. Kim gets struck with amnesia post-break up, does a little light stalking, and gets Chay to help him learn/remember who he is. In the process realizes that wow his life sucks, and there’s no way he wants to go back to it. Especially if he’s the kind of person that hurt Chay. He would rather start over. (Ofc, he doesn’t get to). This fic makes me cry, it’s so good 

Coffeehouse Play by AirgodSLV

This is a canon divergence AU that I adore. The KimChay characterization is on point. I love that despite everything going on around them, they also get to be two boys that hang out and play videogames and try to shove each other off the couch while Porsche makes dinner. Given the age difference it’s so easy to make Kim Older and MatureTM, but he’s still a kid, and this story never once forgets that. It felt so honest and true to his character that Kim does have a lot of plans, and he’s very smart, but he’s also still so young, and sometimes shit just goes wrong. 

Want and Need by bisexualbard (@bisexualbard-writes)

God, this fic. T h i s f i c. Post-canon Chay goes to therapy and becomes a camboy (in that order) and it’s delicious. Watching the steady breakdown of his and Porsche’s relationship is so satisfying. Everything one of them does to make things worse feels awful, but is so in character that it’s hard to be mad at them for their decisions. Kim readily giving up control if it means he can be with Chay, and Chay getting a crash course in how to dom. All of it is just. So good. This is such a good fic

Your Look, Through This Lens by WildelyDawn (@wildelydawn)

AU where Chay becomes Kim’s photographer. This fic emotionally hobbled me. Just a fair warning. You will cry. But that said, the ending isn’t nearly as sad as the tags would have you believe! At least in my opinion. I think it’s fairly open/hopeful, and beautiful either way. I love the way this fic shows how Kim balances being Wik while also being part of the mafia. And I love how temperamental he is; always hot and cold, while remaining pretty even as far as how he expresses himself. Always very aloof/detached, just out of reach, with Chay never really sure where he stands/what Kim wants. But at the same time the fic happens just before Kim gets a big break, and the subtle ways he shows his excitement and nerves as things start coming together—it’s wonderful. 

Love’s a Two-Way Dream by giraffeter (@giraffeter)

This fic is dark. Kim atticwife’s Chay and it’s not a good time. But!! It’s not just dark for the sake of it; Kim is a genuine sociopath, yes, but it unfolds slowly. You get a sense of creeping dread as he does things that are just a little bit off, until finally the Big Bad Thing happens. At first he seems normal, playing the part of good and respectful boyfriend. But it just goes downhill from there, and I love every word of it. The ending especially is very satisfying. 

In the Dark of the Night by bisexualbard (@bisexualbard-writes)

Not to recc everything Bard writes, but… This is a rape recovery fic that I feel handles the subject matter incredibly well. There’s no gratuitous rape scenes, and even with the flashbacks, I don’t remember any of them being incredibly detailed. I think Bard handled the fic with incredible respect and grace. This is another one that’ll make you cry. The way Chay handles his past trauma while trying to have a relationship with Kim is so painfully real. And so is the way Kim wants to help him, but doesn’t really know how. But they figure it out together, and it’s amazing. (Also Kim acquires a stabby child in the form of an OC that I adore.) I just love the path Chay's recovery takes in this fic, it's so visceral and relatable. It's all around just. So good. I love this fic for the same reason I love IGTW and it's because both fics show an excellent depiction of recovery.

Chains and Crowns, A Flower Can Both Make by Sweet_William (@sweet-william-writes)

Incredibly Regency AU. Historical AUs are some of my all time favorites, and this is everything I didn’t know I needed. Sweet_William captures the essence of an Austen-esque style while still making this feel like the KinnPorsche characters. Chay is wonderfully feisty, Kim is delightfully complex, and the various family interactions always had me cackling. 

Simple Little Secrets by CorvusCloudburst (@cloudburst-ink)

Chay sees the future when he touches people. Kim thinks he’s either insane, a spy, or a conman. Oh, and Chay’s visions of Kim? Always sex-related. The shenanigans are endless. What more do you need?? They’re both crazy4crazy and it’s my favorite thing ever. Their banter is snappy and fun, the writing is sexy, and it never once gave me second-hand embarrassment despite Chay’s horrible situations.

I forgot I can just fucking rant and brain here

Unsleeping City season 2 spoilers ahead so beware if u care about that ig lol

Fucking fucking fuck my dudes /pos /stimming

Pete and that whatever-it-was raw umbra thing where if Ally got anything less than a Nat 20 and he would've DIED!!!!!! BUT Brennan didn't tell them that till AFTER THEY HIT IT

He was gonna just fucking no-scope kill Pete I'm

Angry /mj and in pure awe 😂😂😂

Not that Ally+Brennan hasn't made it work just fine while Very Dead before *cough* Fantasy High season 2

But I've rewatched that fucking 20 minute long scene in Nod THREE FULL TIMES now before moving on, one of which was recording the whole damn thing to squeal at my boyfriend about it 😅

AND THEN the next episode we're finding out about Nod's sibling that was "in trouble out west" ?????

TONY DID YOU FUCKING KILL NOD'S SIBLING YOU FUCKING BITCH

I don't actually think that's directly what happened but I do think the San Francisco monastery being demolished and the sibling being in trouble have to do with eachother and whatever this formless fkn force is.

Also I'm of course soooo curious to see how Amazon Gladiator is involved with this whoooollleeee shitshow thing bc in Siobhan's words, "with Brennan as the dm, you /know/ capitalism is the bad guy" 😂

Anyway I am just Buzzing about this, been watching while I eat or do crafts and it's So Good for my brain. This is a good fuckin mystery and I'm ALSO super invested in Ricky's arc happening about his sword in Cody's hands 😂😂😂

Murph is so fucking funny at playing an absolutely hate-able shithead dude that loops around to hilarious 🤣 His fucking smoking everywhere and sword swishes and absolute disregard for social cues

carlos is such an ass omg. bro you literally overtook your teammate with brake issues, almost made contact with him and still couldn’t catch checo. he just fkn wants to get past charles, doesn’t care about fighting the red bulls.

also hilarious him lying about having the same brake problems and saying he managed it better? bro you overheated your brakes by making mistakes (which is why they cooled when he got out of dirty air) and charles had a 100 degree imbalance between his brakes which can’t be fixed during the race.

idk how many forza ferraris i have left in me - bald man you better get your shit team together for charles

charles trusts fred and i fully believe he will do something, it was only one race so we still have a few to go

[ghost-bison]

heheehe i'm currently watching the leftovers and honestly the first two eps were kinda hard to watch: lots of information, you're dropped in the middle of the plot and have to go backwards in order to fill in the blanks and understand, lots of characters each with their own stories that are all, as you find out, intertwined, in short it's a beautiful, complicated spiderweb.

it took me until the third episode to really appreciate it, and not just because it's focused on christopher eccleston's character (matt jamison) and that i absolutely love this actor, but also because said character matt isn't as connected to the story as other characters are.

i mean, he is connected, through secrets and his sister and the fact that he's the town's priest so kind of a messenger when it comes to the main plot's elements. but the way that you follow him throughout episode three didn't make all that overwhelming.

for starters, it only focused on his character when the first two if i remember correctly are like i said a web, sometimes even a conglomeration of events and stories and characters. characters whom we don't know the names of yet btw. takes a while to understand that this one is the cop's son and this one the cop's daughter and that other one is the priest's sister etc...

then, even though matt's episode did raise some questions (like his relationship with the cop's dad, or elements of his backstory, or even "is matt a good guy?" cause it's really ambiguous), it also answered some other questions (elements from the first episodes for example).

finally, it's not as confusing as the first two eps because it's really fast-paced, a roller-coaster of emotions, and it crescendos until you reach the episode's climax and you don't know wtf to make of matt anymore.

like you can't really hate him cause you've been basically in his shoes for an entire episode and man was it hard af, but also he's a big hypocrite, but also you agree with what he does but then you don't cause he's an asshole but then you feel bad for him cause dude is so fucking tired and can't catch a break but at the same time god is he stupid???

wonderfully written character, played by an incredible actor. this right here is nuance, bitches. saw an article that said eccleston perfectly portrayed a character that sees the world in black and white but lives is shades of grey (aka his principles only apply to him when it's convenient) and that's exactly it.

best type of character you don't know whether to hug him or slap him. probably both.

also this one episode where kevin is insulting this dude on the phone then he hangs up and screams fuck and matt is standing right behind all awkward and he says "i say fuck too" with a proud little smile like

this is fkn glorious

and the other characters are very cool too: kevin, nora, aimee is hilarious, meg is strange and cute, the frost twins are adorable (omg they're the twins from teen wolf who could converge and form an enormous werewolf dude wtf hello), and wayne wtaf.

if you doctor who fans didn't remember: paterson joseph (wayne's actor) also played bitch ass rodrick in the finale 2 parters of series 1 and he was detestable. and as wayne i really don't know what to think of him except that paterson joseph is a really, really great actor. he's so scary and weird like AAAA

anyways hi i didn't sleep

[wazzappp]

ALRIGHT WE BALL. Time to get on with the story (i have a story planned thats. a real shocker. im ass at writing but ill get this drawn damnit I promise)

This argument is one that just needed to happen. Robbie cant think of the infected he's been killing as people because that would mean he has killed a truly UNCOUNTABLE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE. Lisa has done what she has to in order to survive, and that includes killing the un-infected (which, of course, to Robbie is totally unacceptable). So when he's trying to explain the difference it just comes across JUDGY AS HELL. They're both proud and defensive and bad communicators and the conversation goes BADLY.

This happens while they're on their way to the Beneviento house. Lisa basically goes 'Alright if youre so high and mighty go ahead and beat this one yourself then!' and fucks off back to Duke with the intention to kill as many Lycans in the way as physically possible. Robbie goes ahead to the SPOOKY NIGHTMARE HOUSE trust me I have plans for what he sees in there and its appropriately disturbing but it also spoils the ending I have planned for this whole thing so :) hang in there.

BUT he ends up having a BAD TIME when he's trying to head back and what @rokhal suggested slotted in SO VERY NICE HERE (i feel i have sufficiently LOST MY MIND over the fic you posted i am JKSL:FJSDFDS F UCk)

'Picturing Robbie alone in the Village foraging for gunpowder and cash (because it's a Video Game and they can't just hang out in Donna Benaviento's house throwing the creepy dolls in the river while waiting for rescue after reconnecting the phone lines, no, they have to wander around the entire map) and he's saving the herbs for Gabe and using all the chem fluid for sniper rifle ammo or whatever. And he's fighting off werewolves and it's fine because apparently his health regenerates like mana because he's made of mold.

But as he's wandering around it starts to get harder and harder to remember how much cash and scrap he needs. And he keeps missing shots. And then he gets a little turned around but now he's lost and there's more fkn werewolves, and he's seriously low on ammo and he just wants to get back to Gabe, but he needs to regroup and his hands are numb so he tries to warm them at one of the villager's stoves.

And then he discovers that he's slowly turning into a mindless mold creature, and realizes that the only way to keep Gabe safe from him is to get really really really lost, so lost he'll never find his way back before something kills and eats him.

This does not work, but it does ensure that he is incoherent and barely recognizable by the time Gabe and Lisa track him down.'

Which is all MWAH. CHEFS KISS.

Anyway Robbie is gone for a WHILE and Lisa realizes that the puzzles she needs to solve to move the fuck on require 2 people so she's stuck killing any lycans that stray too close to Dukes camp and hanging out with Gabe. UNTIL, of course, Gabe decides yeah no fuck this fuck that Robbie has been away for WAY to long and I'm going after him. Only problem is that Gabe's abilities are kinda rooted too wherever his sclerotia pods (is adding pods to that redundant? whatever we ball) have had enough time to take root and grow. Meaning, despite her anger towards Robbie at the moment, if Lisa doesen't want Gabe caught, dragged to Mother Miranda and dismembered, she's gotta go with him (also featuring @moosemonstrous hilarious idea of her being proud of Gabe's attempted intimidation).

When they DO track him down he's barely awake. He keeps wandering in one direction then looks like he wants to turn around and go another but he keeps FORCING HIMSELF to go the other way (generally I think he would be a decent bit stronger, but fighting his instincts this hard make him seem more aimless. Robbie is borderline unstoppable when trying to get to his brother, but right now he's NOT trying to get to his brother. you feel me?). Lisa goes up first to make sure he's not going to lose his shit or something. He basically falls onto her with the single saddest "m'sorry" ever heard on planet Earth. If it's for FALLING on her or if its for the CONVERSATION earlier, Lisa isn't quite sure. But it's been years since anyone has apologized to her for anything and thats enough for her to decide she should at least sling him over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes back to Dukes camp.

They make it back to the Dukes camp and give Robbie a couple of med kits (GOOP JUICE!!!!!) and he's a little more coherent. He's still trying to stay away from Gabe even though everything in him is saying 'STAY CLOSE' but he's got SOME brain space available because at least he's in line of sight now. Scrambled brain time is not the BEST for trying at an apology but hey, Robbie isn't really known for his great ideas and he tries anyway.

(ft me being unwell about shoving them together)

They're on better terms after this. The communication is still weird but hey its them so everything is weird. Plus they get some extra bonding time because I also snatched rokhals OTHER suggestion of

'....Been thinking maybe The Duke has a recipe that would heal Robbie...requiring meat from a golden dancing fish and the breast of the blue bird that haunts the graveyard and the tenderloin of the magnificent boar that sires all the swine in the Village...or something. So Gabe and Lisa have to go hunting while keeping Robbie calm...'

Ah yes. the high end flesh of the Great Village Fuck Boar. Delightful.

Cause I mean he's BETTER but still not GREAT. I think now that he's with Gabe he would be unable to leave him again while like this. Gabe would HAVE to go with them (we can get >:] 'Robbie goes into an overprotective frenzy and sword hands himself to hack some poor lycan that got too close in half' its a good time [its not. sword hand is very disturbing to him])

So anyway what Im TRYING to say is that the brainworms will continue

BATCH REPLIES

Some of these have been in my inbox for over A YEAR so I'm doing another batch ask replies without art. Apologies to those hoping for an art reply!

Every ask is appreciated, and they have all made me think a little harder about the characters and the story I have in my head.

(Rowan on the right obv - because she's flourishing)

Freyja nope-ing out of the initial "reunion" like yeah not dealing with this now, lets try again after the war ok?

as you're in a mood to hurt, can I redirect you to this comic I did kind of covering this topic?

Talbot undercover realising where he recognises that lady slicking back her hair from:

option 1 - bread is a little bit stale - just toast it and eat it anyway

option 2 - bread is stale AF - blend it into breadcrumbs

with Chester:

not really spooning, as Chester sleeps on his stomach - the worst possible position for his neck/back and the bastard still has the nerve to complain about body aches and pains in the morning. they just sleep side by side with chester's arm kind of draped over freyja's torso.

with Roger:

in the early stages, sharing a bed with him often ended up with freyja being woken up by a whack in the face because roger is a very restless sleeper. Limbs everywhere and taking up >50% of bed space. he eventually acclimatises to regularly sharing a bed with the same person, and does like to be the big spoon when its not too warm because as well as being a restless sleeper, he's also a hot sleeper.

its stuff like this that makes me wish tonks was still alive because she was a healthy personality opposite to freyja, yet they were still friends.

tonks is such a non-malicious menace and thats why she can pull off this stunt and not get chewed out by freyja about it.

Bunty's a good dog, if a bit one-track-minded when it comes to food. 😅She vastly prefers people food over her own food, which her owner regularly indulges her in.

But the greedy thing is willing to perform most tricks and such if there is the promise of food as a reward!

AU ROUNDUP TIME!

BATB AU

loving the idea of young Frankie being the "Belle" role and Freyja as the "beast", because it reflects the rocky start they had in their canon storyline dynamic.

Orphan Frankie decides to escape the orphanage in the middle of winter, and collapses just outside the gates of this huge old ?abandoned castle. Freyja is cursed to be a beast by day (a bear, anyway) and human by night. She's been trying to escape for years and the one time she actually manages to make it out of the castle grounds she finds a kid unconscious in the snow. So she makes the tough decision to bring him back into the castle before she can turn into a beast again, during which time she'd have no human memories/thoughts.

The enchanted furniture are tasked with looking after and guiding Frankie around by day, staying out of the bear's way. For a few hours each night, Freyja and Francis talk through a tiny hole in the wall.

MULAN AU

Dude!Merula is more tolerable to Freyja for the simple fact that Dude!Merula never trapped her with a deadly strangling plant and never tried to play double agent for the enemy.

LITTLE MERMAID AU

The idea of Jae as Ursula is fkn hilarious, like "hey kid, heard ya wanna go see the surface world. I gotta helluva good deal .." He'd get chucked onto the grill if he was caught 😂

Freyja would of course have no idea what to do with a kid, but end up teaching Francis some basic BSL to communicate and would eventually get more comfortable showing him around.

MARY POPPINS AU

ok so full disclosure here, i have never seen mary poppins. not the old one, not even the remake. i know she's a beloved nanny kind of character, but thats the extent of it...

the idea that Heaven sent her implies that she's an angel, where if freyja was indeed an angel she would be like:

" P̸̢̊l̵͔͎̒e̵̻͕̓̓a̸̗̐͜s̶̬̙͌ẹ̸̪͐ ̸̟̘̐s̷̲͗͆ê̴̼̿͜n̶͙͌d̵͎̋ ̵̲̀̑a̶͔͌n̷̙͠ ̵͉̫̎a̷̘̥̓͘ḑ̸̬̕ǘ̶̱̱ḽ̵̀͠t̷̆͜ḭ̶͕̌e̷̬͐r̶̖̈́̕ ̷̲͐ȁ̷̪̩d̴̢͋́ų̶̳̿l̷̛̦t̶̖̎ "

((I also want to see Freyja in one of the outfits, but I couldn't decide which one so here we are... and there's a lot of Bert options too!

I may end up drawing it in the future anyway!))

FINDING NEMO AU

Barnaby as Bruce and Tonks as Dory is KILLING ME 🤣🤣

i havent seen the movie in ages but i remember the sharks being my favs!
