little big bro leo requested, i delivered. irl friends have already been sent this meme, but now random strangers on this platform will get to know me and possibly use this information against me, ahaha ahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahah-

[rainboneish]

i won’t deny one of the reasons being that as a satosugu shipper i think him being in the afterlife with Geto (and Riko and Nanami and everyone else) is not that unhappy an ending to his story, but there is a lot more to it than that:

1.) too many last minute resurrections or near resurrections can make the deaths in a story feel cheap. I liked Nobara’s comeback because her last appearance in the story had established a possibility for a comeback, but doing it again would be a bit too much for me personally

2.) Gojo is a character who has always defined himself by being the strongest, without apology. This may not be a very healthy approach (and was definitely influenced by how jujutsu society as a whole viewed him, he seems to have made his peace with that. While he was unhappy with how isolated it left him, the way he wanted to change that was by lifting others to his own power level (calling suguru the strongest, wanting to raise his students to be strong allies, telling megumi to grow strong and surpass him). He didn’t compromise his own power to connect with people, he tried to lift them up to his level instead

3) Gege has, in multiple ways, stated that he can’t really see Gojo being happy outside of jujutsu society. When asked about Gojo having a partner he said that he would probably be too emotionally unavailable to commit to a relationship, when asked what would make Gojo feel joy he said that he can’t really picture that and the closest he gets is when he gets to meet/fight a powerful sorcerer (in contrast to that, look to characters like Nanami, who gege has said would have had a family if he wasn’t a sorcerer, and who dreamt of being able to retire to Malaysia to live a peaceful life, or Megumi’s dream of leading a peaceful life doing normal household chores with Tsumiki, or even Nobara with her non-sorcerer friends and interest in fashion and trends)

4.) leaning on point 3, in chapter 236 Gojo states that he was happy going out the way he did, fighting the strongest, as opposed to a more mundane death like old age. Considering what Nanami said right after, we are not necessarily supposed to take all of that conversation at face value (Nanami is wrong about Gojo ONLY using jujutsu for his own satisfaction, while he clearly loves being a sorcerer and his personal satisfaction plays a significant role, he also uses it to protect the future of his students),

however Gojo’s final thought of “i pray that this all isn’t just in my imagination” definitely reinforces the idea that he is happy with his death in my opinion

a lot of people like to bring up that Gojo’s mindset from points 2-4 is flawed and contradicts Yuji’s “people are not cogs with a set purpose” philosophy, which is a fair opinion to have, but i feel like that’s missing the other conclusion both Gojo and Yuji independently reached (Yuji in chapter 266, the chapter after he states his belief that people don’t need to serve a specific purpose), that you can’t force what you view as salvation on someone else if they don’t want it themselves. And while Gojo growing to see his own value beyond being the strongest would be a meaningful character arc, i don’t think that’s something that can be explored in the 3 chapters we have left

one last point that i have talked about in another post before is that, while Gojo himself spent his adult life (and arguably even part of his teen years considering his willingness to oppose tengen during the star plasma vessel mission) trying to change “this rotten jujutsu world”, he himself is in a way the pinnacle of a sorcerer according to the old world perception. He is the head of a major clan, with enough power and political say to influence major decisions, his birth alone changed the balance of the universe in a way that made that world more brutal…

With the Zenin clan dead, the kamo clan in questionable condition after kenjaku’s takeover and the higher ups dead, Satoru Gojo (who is described as the one man army who forms the Gojo clan, hence why we didn’t get more about them despite them being alive) is the last vestige of the old system he wanted to bring down… in a way it seems fitting that his Death, and the subsequent passing on of his responsibilities to all the people he chose (from his students to Gakuganji), as well as the presumed restoration of the balance his birth changed should be what leads this new society into a more peaceful age, possibly also having the six eyes and limitless end with tengen (though it is a bit unclear what will become of tengen right now all things considered)

i don’t know much about buddhism, so i can’t make any particularly well founded arguments around that, but personally i think him letting go, after having set his affairs in order (having left the letters to the first years and assuring a future for them) sounds closer to breaking the cycle of life, death and rebirth (and curses lol), than a return to life at this point in the story

Unless of course, the devilish one eyed cat pulls the rug out from under us all and has the mundane military or a secretly somehow still alive Kenjaku or Sukuna drop a bombshell on all of our lovely jujutsu sorcerers, making the assumptions this rant is based on null and void (i’m still not fully convinced he wouldn’t go down the the military bombs jujutsu tech route… 1% of fear that everything will be torn away from us in the last chapter still remains)

yes, gojo is one of my top 3 favorite jjk characters

yes, i absolutely need him to stay dead right now

How about Jay for the character thing?

Yikes! I saw this literally seconds after I got in bed last night. I’ve gotten so bored staying up late, and having nothing to do I just?? jump into bed really early now?? Quarantine sucks so much ugh.

But let’s do this!!

How I feel about this character

Dang, I love the guy but he can also be a real jerk sometimes *cough*Skybound*cough* and just… other little moments in general. When it’s prominent. Another thing is, I love his goofiness! But I really hope the new writers don’t see him as “just a comic relief”.

I wish they kept the eyebrow notch though, ahh!

Can we talk about the Jay cult though? How big is his ego, man?

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Get this… I used to be a big jaya shipper. Wowowowoefgihtjn. Yeah, I think after Season 3 and then especially Versus I loved both jaya and bruise but then S6 happened and I was like “wtf” and just dropped jaya down the chute. Especially after I realized all the problems there were in it and the lack of any chemistry.

YEAH NINJAGO, YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD PULL THE SHEETS OVER ME BUT I GOT OLDER WITH THE SHOW AND I COULD S E E WHAT YOU WERE DOING WRONG.

I do like techno though!! I’m not the biggest fan of plasma but I can see it.

But nothing will ever top bruise for me :)

My non-romantic OTP for this character

While I very badly want to say Cole, because, yeah, it’s true. I also want to heavily stress that I LOVE Jay and Nya as friends. Like, just some of that healthy platonic interaction, I can’t get enough of. When they’re forced to interact together romantically with little to no chemistry, that’s a whole other story.

Seriously, they would perfect!! together that way. Which is the way I wish Skybound ended.

I’d love to see more Jay and Pixal interactions though! NOT just because I pair them up a lot in my own fics, but I think it would work really well!!

My unpopular opinion about this character

Am I please allowed to say he’s “overrated”. Or, at least on Twitter. I see people all the time complaining about how he doesn’t get enough love and I’m like: you guys just formed a cult once he revealed HIS OWN cult. What????

Also… y’all beg for another Jay season when Cole hasn’t even had one? AH.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

I wish… he wasn’t adopted. Ed and Edna are GREAT, if not THE BEST parents in the entire show and now ;(( we learn they’re just his adoptive parents. Which, actually isn’t terrible either. But I still wish he wasn’t adopted. I mean Cliff? Bleh. However that would explain why Jay’s parents look a lil more older than him. I dunno, man.

I don’t know what all the hype is about Libber too by the way. I mean, wow I love her design but other than that *shrug*.

[that-was-anticlimactic]

Something’s Missing (Plasma) (Ninjago Valentine’s Week - Day Four)

Day Four: Never Thought I’d Ship

I never really thought I’d ship Plasma, it never really occurred to me as something I’d ship you know? But it’s grown on me. I’m a big Bruise Shipper, and I like Jaya, I also like Lava and Opposite, so I guess it just slowly came to me?

This one is kind of sad as well, it’s based on the song “Something’s Missing” from the musical Come From Away. It’s a beautiful song, and the musical is such an important work of art. I was lucky enough to see it on Broadway last summer and it was... it is such an important show.

So. I hope you all enjoy!

- - -

(Takes place after Rebooted, before Tournament of Elements. Begins right before the team splits up)

“So,” Jay trailed off, glancing down at his shuffling feet.

“So,” Kai repeated, trying to gain the courage to look Jay in the eyes.

“So you’ll… call?” asked Jay tentatively.

“As soon as I get there,” Kai promised, gently grabbing Jay’s hands and holding them tightly.

The corners of Jay’s mouth crept upwards ever so slightly, lightly squeezing Kai’s hands.

The two gazed into the other’s eyes for just a moment more, before they slowly let go, and turned in opposite directions.

And then they left.

And then they were alone.

----

Kai didn’t call.

He couldn’t bring himself to call.

To be fair, Jay didn’t call him either.

Jay had went off to host his tv show, and he had gone to fight in underground slither pits.

He thought fighting a bunch of people would help him be okay.

It did for awhile.

A couple days anyways.

But he couldn’t help but feel as though something were missing, and it wasn’t just Zane.

Kai couldn’t fathom how much he missed Jay. How he missed the blue ninja’s laugh, his eyes, heck, even his presence.

Kai watched his show every night, just so he could see Jay’s face.

He remembered the night he found the show. He had been aimlessly flipping through channels after a particularly rough fight and paused when he heard the announcer’s voice.

Kai could recognize that voice anywhere.

He kept his eyes glued to the screen, and they had stayed there until Jay appeared, dressed in sparkles with his hair all done up like it had been so long ago when he had liked Nya.

He couldn’t help the wide grin that spread across his face.

He almost picked up his phone. But he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

He cried.

He missed the feeling of Jay’s hands holding onto his.

Jay would always squeeze Kai’s hands in reassurance that he was there. That he loved him. That he cared about him.

He knew that something had changed.

Zane was gone. How were they supposed to carry on?

----

Kai didn’t call.

He had waited and waited but the phone never rang.

To be fair, he didn’t try to call him either.

He couldn’t bring himself to after all that time.

He thought hosting the tv show would bring him joy, after all, it was nice to have people listen to the things he said all the time. He thought the bright lights, the camera, even the makeup would make him feel better.

They did for an episode or two.

But then they didn’t anymore and he was just going through the motions.

Jay knew that something was missing, knew that Zane wasn’t the only major absence in his life.

Kai was missing.

He missed cuddling up next to Kai when it was cold, missed the way Kai would look at him, would run his fingers through his curls.

He missed his massive hair and watching him apply the hair gel every morning. He missed pulling at the ends of his spikes to tease him.

He missed playing video games with him, and losing at every game but one.

He missed Kai.

He wondered where he was now, how he was doing.

Jay hoped he was okay.

He knew that something- someone- was lost.

He knew that Zane’s death hadn’t punctured the only hole in his heart.

Something was missing.

----

Not my best, but I wanted to keep this one shorter and this kind of happened? I listened to the song like five times on repeat to make sure I had the absolute feel for it. I might rewrite this and make it better some day but who knows !

[purplerose244]

THOUGHTS ON EPISODE 95!!!

SPOILERS ALERT!!!

Okay, exactly how many fans are in New Zeland? I REALLY wanna know, because apparently enough to let the new season air there 😅

No way to tell, Possession aired in Italy and apart from me there aren't a lot of fans

But since some good heart from the other side of the world still uploaded the episode, here I am! SO excited for the new season!! 😍😍

HERE WE GO!!

First of all

I know I should be happy, but after seeing the trailer I'm terrified 😰 But yeah, Cole telling the title was pretty cool 👍

It always makes me laugh seeing people rebuild Ninjago everytime for some reason, I don't know, maybe it's because they're gonna have to start all over again after next season? 😂

But good work citizens

I can't deal with these two, it's too much for my heart 😭 I wish there was a way to turn him back good, but maybe Garmy would go nuts over the horrible things he has done...

BACK TO NICE THINGS!!

I love Pixal, she has gotten so strong and confident! And honestly, getting all parkour style while there's traffic? MOOD

Cole having sleepy feet? ALSO MOOD

I missed clumsy Cole 😂

And I missed Mother Doomsday! (who apparently has a full name, holy Garmadon)

I always get chills when the bounty is shown, it feels like so much time has passed since Zane found it in the desert! Memories 😭

The officer complaining about the mayor 🤣 Who is a she, apparently? Monarchy didn't last long at Ninjago, not after our last princess...

Also spotting randomly the postman is a good sign, the truest ruler of Ninjago 😎

Back at the monastery(SO HAPPY TO HAVE IT AGAIN, SO MANY MEMORIES, AND THAT'S BESIDES THE MURALS 💜), the scene we already saw at SDCC, which is still super cute and definitely made many plasma shippers go wild

THEN THERE'S HER

Am I the only one that heard that lovely music that played back when Kai looked at Skylor at the balcony scene?... just me?

WHATEVS, WE STAN A QUEEN ❤💙❤💙

Dareth should've been in the mural of season 2 honestly, poor dear 😅 Keep it up brown ninja, we know you are valid! 👍

The Firstborne caught me off guard, I knew we were gonna see it again, just not in this realm. Poor Faith, just got free from a tyrant in her realm, and now troubles are back ☹

Now... let me just say this

I know it's about darkness, I know the oni are super duper evil, I know Tommy gave us a lot of hints for a pretty hardcore season

BUT

WHAT IS THIS NIGHTMARE??? 😱😱😱

That's some level of trauma for a Lego show, I gotta say 😅 Now I'm really curious about the oni behind this, because all the villains we had came with a defined backstory. All we know about this is that it's dark and cold 😨

Also having it coming out of the Realm Crystal, that's a really nice touch 👌

Moving forward, the city in troubles AGAIN, citizens running and screaming in terror AGAIN, the police doesn't have real weapons because it's a kid show

We can traumatize, we can try to stab, we can sing creepy lullabies, but NO GUNS 😶

AND GASP

THE REAL VILLAIN! THE LADDER!

... I'm scared for Cole okay? Especially after seeing what really happens when the darkness gets you! I swear I'm gonna have a heart attack if they show us his cold gray body 😰😰😰

So yeah, I almost lost it here

THANKS LLOYD YOU'RE DOING GREAT SWEETIE KEEP PROTECTING YOUR FRIENDS AND YOURSELF 💚💚💚

Aaaaand Garmy is back in business! I can see how long this alliance will last 😅 Besides, only an oni can defeat another oni? Wu is part oni (even if he's more dragon I think), and so is Lloyd... epic Garmadons showdown part 2?

Last but definitely not least, Jay being unnecessary

If he wasn't here, I could barely take all the drama of this show 😂 Love ya Bluebell

That was it! Pretty good start, I just really don't know where we're heading. This oni must be important somehow, otherwise we wouldn't have much story to begin with

I'm really curious about what's coming!

JAY YOU CAN DO IT, GO ASK YOUR QUEEN, I BELIEVE IN YOU! POSITIVE THINKING!!! 💙💙💙

Thanks for listening to my blabbering, I really need this to chill out 😅 So you'll see me again next time!!

Bye everyoneeee!! 💜

[sodasyrup]

just scrolled through all that plasma you have I cherish you and your blog now thanks!!! -hardcore plasma shipper

thank you i love them so much im just *chokes on tears

so gay

[kalosstarters]

Main game: finally beat! (tbh had I known I was so close to the highlight of the game I would have done this loong time ago, but I sincerely believed I would have to battle some lvl 70+ ‘mon - which I didn’t - so I procrastinated with the training.) Here’s what my squad (minus Musharna whom I opted to send to box instead of Zekrom but that wasn’t a very good idea tbh) looks like. Krookodile is a freaking beast (even without the Moxie ability) and definitely the MVP of my team, but I gotta give some credit to Tsutarja and Simipour as well :3 (I kind of forgot dragons usually know fire type moves so poor Vanilla took a Fire Blast from Hydreigon and that was it for her. She has a bad trainer.) 

Spoiler warning in case someone who hasn’t played this game and is willing to do so without knowing what happens (stop reading here):

I was genuinely surprised that instead of doing the league ‘in the normal way’ I first had to beat the E4 and _then_ the Plasma arc happened. But honestly? I liked it better this way, somehow going to the league got more meaning. And it was all so cool, the way the castle appeared and the gym leaders came to help me and so on! And N. Poor N. I’m gonna be honest, I was actually a bit annoyed at him before the final arc because he was so insistent about being right about the Pokemon, etc, but when Ghetsis told about his real motives... Ouch. It was like case Alain all over again (not having a real family, being manipulated by someone he saw as a father figure - like Alain and Lysandre -, fighting for the bad guys because he thought he was right, and then, the truth, and no doubt, N felt just as bad about it as Alain did). And I loved how he finally admitted that he had been wrong after all and Pokemon and people truly could be friends. And it was all thanks to the MC that his eyes had been opened (here my shipper heart started feeling something). Even though the game was a bit ‘slow’ in the sense that you had to grind a lot (and ODL there’s still a lot of grinding to do before I can actually challenge the league), this final arc really impressed me, and I definitely found it one of the best in the poke games (the Aether arc being another fave of mine).

Vol. 2

[  s p e c i a l  m e n t i o n s  ]  sorry, this is long

@legerebrise The long-time top-spot holder of any kind of friends list I make on here (even if the rest is sorted alphabetically) And believe me, you’ll always stay there – platonic soulmate, real-life BFF, I adore you so much and wouldn’t know what to do without you anymore. (I hope we have a skype session planned somewhere in the future? Damn you for disappearing to Australia, of all places.) Can’t wait to see you again, even if we still have a couple of months to go ♥♥♥♥ @bayer-mund Jay, fellow co-mum of our two ridiculous children, fellow shipper (I’m still amazed by how we ship all the same things), inspiration and co-inventor of so many great story ideas … you’ve honestly become one of my best friends on here in a matter of months, and I treasure our conversations more than most others. I know your personal live has been kinda rough these past few months, but I’m sure everything will turn out well for you too. (And I really hope that one day we’ll get around watching a Revierderby in our respective Schalke and Dortmund jerseys) ♥♥♥ @dramatsfc We haven’t known each other that long, but boy, we've already talked a lot. Hilarious stuff, mind you, crazy ideas that were tons of fun to discuss. (I’m just saying girl!AU … jeez, that was a wild ride.) I admire your confidence, and am really thankful of how good you are at telling me to go do my work (because I’m truly crap at it myself) ♥ @emanuelginobili Charmaine, most precious flower of them all. Fellow Schalke fan, probably one of the most genuinely nice people I’ve ever met. Stay the way you are, exactly like that (I can’t even blame you for your late night studying habits since I’m exactly the same), you’re so smart and I’m sure your future will be bright (also ty sm for being the only person I know who also dislikes that ship. You know the one) ♥♥ @enlightenedcat We've 'met' over the second leg of Real vs. Bayern quarterfinals, which is not as long ago as it seems to me. At that point you were my saviour – despite supporting opposite teams that day – because my laptop and the wifi in Ireland did decidedly not get along. I love how I can talk fluff to you and how you seem to enjoy it just as much as me - you're a really nice person, and being a low-key Schalke supporter only gives you bonus points ♥ @holyhowedes I think I started talking to you because of your tags - accurate, I'd say, since I always come visit your blog and read through them when I want to have something to smile about (They're the best. You're the best.) You're probably the person I spam with headcanons the most, sorry 'bout that (I hope you enjoy them) Again, I love talking story ideas with you, and you're probably the only person who's just as terribly endeared by Manu as me. ♥♥ @khalehla-blah I got to know you as what is best described the authority on English Steno fic (who also gifted me a story without even really knowing me) By now you're my beta (and I'm so grateful for that) and we've lived through what was probably my strangest moment on tumblr together (sorry for making you slightly panicky too). Um, all in all? Thank you for making my writing socially acceptable and believing that I can grow as a writer ♥♥ @lahmly I mostly want to thank you for being an inspiration - your writing is among the best I've seen in fandom so far, it's genuinely funny and quite often tugs at my heartstrings in the most simple but effective way - and you're really good at drawing on top of that. Thank you for the exchanges we've had, even if I must usually seem a bit starstruck when talking to you (it's not every day you befriend one of your favorite authors, after all.) ♥ @schnaf Same case here, I mostly started following you because of your amazing writing. Ironically you're partially the reason why I picked my OTP - even if you don't like them much, you still've written one of the best fics about them imo. It's so interesting to talk to you too, be it about writing itself, languages, football or other things. Ty for all! ♥♥ @schweinstgrs Well, what prompted our friendship was a bit, well, let's call it different - but I am really glad you're in the same boat and I have you talk about that topic. Believe me when I say I always really enjoy it. Other than that, from you I've learned not only things about football but also Scotland. I appreciate that you always let me ramble about my ship – and headcanon-ing with you is truly so so much fun. (I still hope for the Police!AU to be a thing some day.) ♥♥ @temsah You’re another friend that has be come so dear to me – and you’re only the third person from tumblr I’ve actually met! (And only the second one I am still friends with after that) Thank you, truly, for those months (!!!) you supplied me with old Hömmels fics, and all the hilarious conversations we had about so many things - be it shipping, (our hometowns’) history, you educating me about football or just talking extremely entertaining nonsense. I wouldn’t miss you for the world ♥♥♥

Shadowhunters recap - s2ep15 “A Problem of Memory”

SHADOWHUNTERS Recaps Intro and Masterlist

These recaps may contain spoilers from the books (that may or may not happen in the show.) Proceed at your own risk.

Recap and meta under the cut.

First of all, hats off to Alberto, he was absolutely brilliant in this episode.

As someone who actually has studied biology and who has specifically researched blood and blood-related illnesses (as part of writing my novel Risk Aware, which has a hero with hemophilia, and also as part of my Strain trilogy when researching immunoglobulins as they could relate to the apocalypse-causing virus) I find the idea that plasma is “the hard stuff” a bit laughable. What is it about separating out the red blood cells and leaving the water, immunoglobulins, clotting factors, and proteins that makes it so metaphysically “strong?” And why would it be stronger than normal blood, when normal blood is 55% plasma already? This was just a really hokey device. Bad writers. Take an L.

The bleeder den makes me uncomfortable. @oncethrown has written some meta about how it’s mostly scantily-clad women there and the implication of the imagery is that they’re trading sex for drugs. I agree. This is pretty much right out of Feminist Criticism 101.

I think the idea of Simon having a wild night out to nurse his heartbreak and running into trouble because he’s really not put any effort into learning to control his vampire urges is a solid and important story for Simon. I just think this was the wrong way to go about it.

If I’d been writing this, I could have had him fall in with his vampire wanna-be groupies to go out clubbing, but have the club be more of a dance club than a brothel. People are partying and getting high, not lying around and moaning in imagery that is quasi-orgiastic. Same basic outcome, but completely different and less objectifying vibe.

I need to update my Sebastian meta, because while this episode didn’t completely Joss it, it did throw in some interesting twists and possibilities, particularly about the burning thing.

This shot is mostly gratuitous. There have already been reams of meta written about this scene since the sneak peek of it came out, even without the inclusion of Alec waking up in Magnus’s bed. To the point where I almost don’t know what to say because it’s all been said.

But his soft, groggy voice as he calls out for Magnus the first time… *swoon*

It’s very interesting that this moment leads us to believe that the memory that plagues Magnus is finding his mother dead, when it’s something else entirely. I’m going to get into that later, though.

There’s been quite a bit of meta-ing done about Alec’s stance here, the sort of soldiers “at ease” stance and whether it’s too stiff for this very intimate scene, and whether that stiffness is a questionable acting choice on Matt Daddario’s. But going back through other episodes, that really is Alec’s casual stance, even when he’s in relaxed moments with friends and family.

Personally, I think it says a great deal about Matt’s consistency in his performance, that he remembers nuances like that (ditto with that clenching thing he does with his hand when he’s nervous, or the hand up by his face, blocking out whatever anyone is trying to tell him, when he’s overwhelmed and afraid.) This is just who Alec is. He doesn’t slouch around on things like Jace, he doesn’t gesture and flourish and flow through the space around him the way Magnus does. He stands like a soldier, relaxed yet watchful. It’s perfectly Alec and I think anyone who has a problem with it is reaching.

The moment when Alec is talking and we see Magnus just zone out is pretty powerful. I think this was some amazing acting on Harry’s part, because I think a lot of actor’s struggle with portraying this sort of scenario, where something is wrong but they’re trying to pretend its all fine. Most of the time, they’re so focused on conveying the “something is wrong” part of the performance that they forget to try to be convincing on the “pretending it’s all fine” part.

Harry really walked that line beautifully in this scene. He hit the “something is wrong” notes just well enough that Alec’s concern and confusion felt perfectly appropriate, but not so heavily that Alec would have been justified under the circumstances trying to force the issue, the way he does later when Magnus’s mask slips a bit more and he’s less effective at projecting the “everything is fine” illusion.

Alec’s tenderness—their tenderness together, even if it’s ringing a little false on Magnus’s end—is just so beautiful. And Alec just seems so much more comfortable in his skin. It’s really amazing just how much more…grounded he is, since around s2ep08, as he settles into his relationship with Magnus. He’s become comfortable with who he is, aside from the occasional moment of self-doubt, and it shows in the way he interacts with other people.

I love Izzy referring to this terrifyingly ancient faerie as “the manipulative little wench.” That’s hilarious.

But once again, we have Izzy being everyone’s agony aunt and honestly can we just not? Can we give her a storyline that doesn’t involve her, the best shadow-world forensic pathologist in New Yorki, having an apparent brain fart about the dangers of what appears to be a fairly well-known drug, or sitting around listening to everyone else’s problems? Can we do that please?

Also, mostly I agree with Izzy. Jace needs to leave Clary alone. Frankly because I just DGAF.

And before anyone gets on my case, I’m not anti-Clace. I know they’re the endgame ship, anyone with two functioning neurons to rub together who has been paying attention since the first episode knows they’re endgame. And as @roseglass was saying about herself in our post-episode Facetime debrief, I’m a lifelong shipper and a diehard romantic. I WANT to ship couples. But I’m not undiscerning. I need something to really there’s substance to the relationship before I can ship it, and so far Clace hasn’t delivered that and I won’t be able to go there until they do.

I would like to know at what point Alec decided to just let go of his skepticism regarding Sebastian. Making him head of security during the Downworld Cabinet? Putting him in charge of the investigation regarding Valentine’s assassination? What the hell is that all about? I feel like this is as out of character as Izzy not being aware of the perils or nature of yin fen.

Alec’s self-doubt—and Jace’s complete faith in him—is really beautifully done. Alec is in the role he was born for, but immediately he’s being faced with choices that are contrary to all his training. That’s got to mess with his head. But Jace having no doubts about him whatsoever is marvelous and after Season 1, seeing Jace supporting Alec, believing in Alec, is just amazing and a huge part of what I needed from them.

Izzy: “Maybe you should give Simon some time.” Clary: *immediately goes banging on Simon’s door*

Clary NO/Clary YES episode tally: 1

And God, this look Simon is giving her. Wow. I never knew Simon COULD look at Clary like that. Just…wow.

“The Seelie queen made you reveal who you desired most and it wasn’t me.” I love this. LOVE THIS. I love that Simon goes deeper with it, that this is not a petty, possessive “you kissed another guy and enjoyed it” tantrum. I love that Simon understands that this isn’t something Clary chose, that she wants to feel for him—perhaps even convinced herself that she did feel for him—the way he feels for her, and can’t, and it’s not something she can control.

I may not yet have the handle I need to buy into Clace, but I 100% buy into this sort of conflict. It feels very real to me.

And Alberto is just…WOW. I hold my breath watching this scene. He moves me to tears here.

But here’s the really amazing thing…Kat does, too.

Look, I adore Katherine McNamara. I think she’s cute as a button and sweet as the day is long, she’s intelligent and driven and accomplished and she’s big on anti-bullying and I just love her to bits.

But I’d be dishonest if I didn’t acknowledge that she’s the weak link in this cast in terms of acting ability. I believe she can improve. I really hope she does because I want to see wonderful things from her. And she’s come a long way since the pilot, but that’s where things stand at present.

But for some reason, Alberto makes her a better actress. Call it chemistry. Call it setting an example. I don’t know what it is. But I think at least part of the reason why I bought into Climon when I really didn’t expect or even want to, is because she steps up her game when she’s in scenes with Alberto.

I compare this scene and the one at the end of the episode with the scenes at the end of s2ep04 when she’s reeling from Jocelyn’s death, and s2ep05 during Jocelyn’s funeral, and her grief and distress here with Simon is 100X more compelling and real.

Jace, when oh when are you going to learn. PUT A FUCKING GAG ON HIM. DO NOT ENGAGE HIM. Mark him with a silence rune or something.

Seriously, though, I’m just tired of Valentine pontificating. I’m tired of these scenes with him talking circles around Jace. And mostly this scene accomplished nothing. I would have liked to have seen maybe a phone conversation or something between Alec and Magnus instead, because there is plenty more they could have done with those two in this episode.

The deruning tool is far less barbaric than I was led to believe the process of deruning to be.

“You’re the closest thing to a son that I’ve got.” Awww! I live for Luke and Simon bonding moments.

Can we talk about those jeans Simon is wearing? Because damn, for a nerdy guy, he tends to wear jeans that look painted on. Look at the way they wrap around his thighs. Yowza.

I don’t particularly like this murdered-girl storyline. A female character dies to further a male character’s story. Meh. Why not make the murder victim male? Especially if you’re going to sexualize the vampire feeding vibe, that would be a nod toward the fanon notion of Simon being pansexual.

Alec looks so damn right behind that desk. I squee.

And I kinda love the omnipresent fire in the fireplace. Like, the Institute for all that it’s a historic church is clearly modernized. The fire is just there for aesthetic.

And Izzy looks GOOD. And I love seeing her in charge of this mission and being very competent and in control.

I do love Alec being protective of Magnus here. Interesting that he proposed Catarina. In my head, if they had called Catarina, Magnus would have ended up babysitting Madzie while Catarina was working, and that would have been adorable.

I don’t really have any commentary to offer on Aline’s introduction. I’m thrilled that she was included, and a little thrown that she wasn’t used more or her inclusion didn’t accomplish more, but I love the concept of the character and I can’t wait to learn more about her.

The vindication that the guy in the closer was the real Sebastian Verlac is nice, but it does leave me wondering: where was he while Izzy was in that apartment detoxing? What he unconscious? Bound so securely he couldn’t make a racket the way he was at the end of the previous episode? Did not!Seb use that silence rune I keep yelling at Jace to use on Valentine? What’s up with that?

[I don’t know how detailed the rest of this recap is going to be. It’s already quite long. I had to stop and go to sleep at this point, and when I woke up my brain was all over the place and not focused on doing this recap at all. Mostly it’s on Sebastian meta, which is fodder for another post and I don’t want it getting lost in this.]

Luke: You need to stay away from Simon Clary: *does not do that* Me: *sigh*

Clary NO/Clary YES episode tally: 2

Luke, you brought a bloody shirt into a restaurant? Wolves wandering in and out, non-employees hanging around the kitchen, bloody shirts on the tables, this place is a massive Department of Health violation. No wonder Ollie is grossed out.

“He’s the way he is because of me, Luke.” Yeah, Clary, you’re absolutely right. So maybe forcing your presence on him isn’t the best course of action?

Again, I’m a little thrown by Raphael’s characterization here. He seems genuinely concerned and willing to help Simon, but he’s willing to use Simon’s need for aid as leverage to try to blackmail him into revealing the cause of the Daylighter thing, and willing to leave Simon twisting if he doesn’t get what he wants.

Look. I’m fine with good, concerned, helpful Raphael, and I’m fine with cold-hearted, pragmatic Raphael. And I’m fine with any combination of the two, except that the way this show is trying to pull off that combination feels weird and contradictory. If they’re going to go there, I need better insight into his reasoning to make it more consistent.

I do very much love Simon’s integrity at not rolling on Jace to save his own skin, though. Especially considering he can’t feel very kindly inclined toward Jace at the moment. Later in the episode he refers to himself as a “man of his word” and that’s not just grandstanding. We see it in action here. He promised Jace he wouldn’t say anything, and he’s keeping that promise.

I love Simon so much.

You gonna tell me someone who walks around all day like a badass armed to the teeth even when she’s off-duty like Aline is doing wouldn’t notice when the person she’s with suddenly puts their hand on their weapon? Really? Not sure I buy that.

“I gave you my word” says fake!Sebastian, who got the info from real!Sebastian, meaning that real!Sebastian in fact broke his word. One wonders if real!Sebastian shouldn’t have maybe tried to slip Aline some code here. I mean, if “Sebastian” started recalling this mutual event of their lives and dropped a reference to her dating some guy (maybe one who was actually a bully who had given them both a hard time instead) Aline probably would have clued in. The question is, would she have clued in subtly enough to keep fake!Seb from attacking her?

I’m still actually kinda hoping this is the case, that real!Seb leaked some misinformation to clue Aline in. But it doesn’t seem like it.

Run, Real!Seb, RUN!

“’Not far away’ doesn’t help us. I need a direction.” Is it just me, or is Luke putting up with a little less of Clary’s shit these days?

I really love this anti-foot-fetish angle. I don’t know why, it probably should seem to me to be some cheesy deus ex machina development but instead it just tickles me because it feels so perfectly Simon for him to reframe his entire understanding of the situation based on such a ridiculous detail.

At first I wondered why real!Seb didn’t just send a fire message to Aline as soon as he broke free, but then I remembered he probably doesn’t have access to a stele. Mostly, though, I’m just spinning stories in my head trying to find ways to evade the knowledge of what is going to happen to him. I don’t know why, but this whole “victim almost makes it to salvation only to be stopped just inches away” makes me seriously anxious. I hate it. HATE it. I knew he would die, but I wish it had happened some other way because that particular scenario just hits me in all the wrong places.

I like this girl’s double-take when Simon accuses Quinn of killing someone. That’s a young woman who is going to go home and reconsider her life choices.

I really love, REALLY LOVE the ensuing fight scene. I think it was perfectly acted on Simon’s part. You could see that fighting is not something he’s comfortable with yet, something he has to work really hard at. And I love the portrayal of Simon as a burgeoning badass rather than just a bumbling newbie not interested in coming out on top of his situation.

What I don’t love? Not knowing how he developed these skills. Has he been sparring with Luke and Clary or what?

I want to know how Raphael figured out the murder. Did one of the other vamps in the den speed out to report to him as soon as Simon showed up to confront Quinn?

Trauma and pain aside, can I just say how damn gorgeous Magnus is in this scene. That shirt is amazing, and there’s something a little different around his makeup, something with the eyeliner, but I’m not knowledgeable enough about makeup to pinpoint what it is. Gor. Geous. Seriously.

And again, Harry pulls off a brilliant performance. There are so many nuances here.

The subtle way that—unlike that morning—he comes down on the wrong side of the line this time while trying to toss enough metaphorical glitter around to distract Alec without tossing so much that it gives away the game.

His fear when he realizes Alec isn’t going to be distracted.

His resignation when Alec uses his own words against him.

His frustration and anger at the fact that he’s in this situation, because he had it all under control until Valentine and Azazel and the Clave fucked with him and now he doesn’t and he resents that.

His hollow, detached acceptance of his stepfather’s indictment, and the way it gradually transitions to grief when he can’t detach any longer.

The calm, resolute acceptance when he refuses to blame a loss of experience/control for what he did.

His vulnerability when he looks up at Alec, waiting for the judgment he’s sure will follow.

His uncertainty when Alec accepts him, as if he’s not quite sure he believes Alec but he wants to.

He just hits a lot of notes here and he nails every single one of them.

And then we have the return of the Alec Lightwood Patented Stare. This boy and the way he uses eye contact, I swear. His stare is a weapon. He can use it to absolutely eviscerate someone (see Imogen Herondale in s2ep13) or to protect and reassure someone (Magnus, especially in this scene and in s2ep08.) It’s amazing.

In the books, Magnus specifically refers to Alec as “guileless” and if there’s one thing they’ve gotten right on the show, it’s this devastating earnestness of Alec’s. Matt plays it amazingly well and it’s so powerful.

I mentioned earlier how much more comfortable Alec is in his own skin, and I think this scene showcases that well. As does the Alec we saw in s2ep11. Contrast that Alec, to season one Alec. Can you imagine s1 Alec being able to comfort and take care of people the way this Alec does? He just didn’t have that capacity because his inner conflict was too strong.

I want to know how fake!Seb gets rid of the body this close to the Institute without drawing any attention.

Gorgeous close-up on Raphael, I’m not sure how I feel about using the encanto thing against Ollie, though. The device is a bit mind-rapey, and any sort of mind-alteration has been shown to be considered a violation (s1ep03 with Simon and Camille, and Clary and whoever that one vamp was) as well as Clary’s reaction to Magnus and Jocelyn tampering with her memories, and here we’ve got two men basically forcing a lesbian character to think what they want her to think, which is just not a good visual, IMO.

But beyond that, I’m sort of hoping that Ollie is knowledgeable enough about the Shadow World that she took steps to prevent this. She made personal notes or confided in Samantha about her investigation, or something that is going to challenge this.

This scene is seriously the best acting Kat has ever done on this show. Well done.

This hurt more than I ever expected it to, because this ship was honestly way more compelling than I ever expected it to be. I knew it was coming and yet I’m sad to see it end. I suppose that means I should congratulate the show for handling this ship with the respect the ship and the characters deserve.

Mostly, though? Ow.

I really, REALLY wish they hadn’t given us this shot of Duncan, or the other one. It gave the whole thing away. I called it the moment I saw this that Duncan would be the one to interfere with Valentine’s transfer. Dammit. There was no need to draw any attention to Duncan until that instant when he puts his hand on Valentine’s shoulder and Valentine looks at him and realizes what’s happening. That should have been the moment we all knew. The close-ups on Duncan were unnecessary and hamhanded. Grrr.

There’s been some rightful criticism levelled at this moment, a character of color being blackmailed, used, and then killed by a white man is not a good visual at all. I don’t see any reason why Duncan, who had already been shown to be discontented with the way the Institute was being run, couldn’t have colluded of his own free will to free Valentine, and then disappeared because he knew they’d be hunting for him after what he did.

That said…

This is a beautiful but of full-circle storytelling here. We have an ongoing theme in this episode of characters being true to their word and untrue to their word. Simon protecting Jace. Quinn telling Simon no one gets hurt when clearly someone does. Fake!Sebastian reminding Aline that “he gave his word” regarding keeping the secret about her sexual orientation. Magnus trusting Alec when Alec tells him it’s safe to confide in him. Simon upholding his promise to always be Clary’s friend.

And now this. Sebastian gives his word that Duncan and his family would be safe, and then violates it.

We’re meant to contrast Sebastian to our heroes, most specifically to Simon, who is also a demon-blooded creature, just as Sebastian is. We’ve already seen with Valentine (and even with Imogen Herondale) that angelic blood is no guarantor of goodness, and now we see with Simon (and others) that demonic blood is no guarantor of evil.

And then we see that Sebastian is something else entirely, and that he is, perhaps, evil on a level we can’t even fully grasp yet. No vow is sacred with him, no ally is safe. It’s a very nice touch.

This was not in the books, but it’s brilliant for reasons I will get into in my updated Sebastian aka Jonathan Christopher Morgenstern meta. Stay tuned.

(i dug through my dash before realizing i could have just gone directly to my blog asdfghjk)

Meowth: Which evil organization is your favourite?This a tough question tbh... Maybe Plasma? Since the goons (to me) seem to have a lot more character than the goons in the other games and I did like the twist with Ghetsis.  

Zubat: Which Pokemon do you find the most annoying?Any Pokémon with a ability that prevents from you escaping battle (I love Trapinch’s design but it’s ability caN FUCK RIGHT OFF)

Flareon: Who is your favourite third generation Pokemon?Hmm, not counting starters, legendary and Trapinch.... it’s a tie between Linoone, Snorunt and Spheal!

Kyogre: Who is your favourite ice and/or fairy type Pokemon?Ok, gonna try not to repeat myself... Ah, dang it, think Spheal is my fav ice-type. For fairy, I’d say Mawile/Ribombee/Mimikyu (so hard to pick T_T )

Piplup: Is there any games that you hope they will create a sequel to, or remake?IT’S SINNOH’S TIME TO SHINE In my honest opinion, I think it’s best for the Pokémon company to stop with the remake formula. Although, I would like to see something based on the Orre Region/the Shadow Pokémon concept!

[aphotictale-blog]

Aphotictale - characters

Welcome Welcome one and all to the character list for the main character of Aphotictale, in this I’ll be covering the backstories and personalities of the...well...main characters. If you don’t want read all of this the last paragraph has basic information on everyone. Also, the second to last paragraph has the backstory of everything in this timeline, yes, this is an alternate timeline, not universe, and you can ask “what’s the difference?”, and the difference is that an alternate universe is on the same plane of existence, while an alternate timeline (what is about to be said is not scientifically true in any way so don’t come to me saying I’m a liar if you go telling people it’s true and then finding out it’s not) exist in the fourth dimension, where everything in the timeline exists in the third, but all the timelines live in the fourth together. Also, in this timeline monsters live an average lifespan of 5000 years, don’t speak English but rather speak “soul speak”, and they reproduce by taking a part of each partners soul and putting them together, which grows into a new soul. Their food is more air and liquid then solid, and they can even eat plasma. They don’t exactly sleep but rather have like a battery that lasts five days and needs to be charged for one with rest, but like a phone battery they can be chared whenever. Finally, they can live without their body, they do feel pain when they get hurt (except the undead) but even if their body dies, as long as their soul lives they can make a new body. Anyways, let’s begin.

We will start off with everyones favorite, sans. In this AT, sans is the son of Gaster, an abusive mad scientist who lost his mind at the death of his wife and beats sans and experiments on him. Lucida, who died in the great war is Sans's mother. He is a heavy alcolic who usually drinks 10 bottles of 75% Vodka before getting buzzed. He is also an apprentice to Gaster and a scientist himself, although no one ever gives him credit for his works. He has a human soul (which will be explained at the end) of Justice, and when killed, will turn into his...de"termination" mode, which was made accidently when Gaster was experimenting on him. He doesn't really love anyone but cares deeply about his brother Papyrus, technical son Napstablook, and Toriel. Sans looks the way he does due to his father, Gaster, injecting his magical dna into child sans in hope that he will become as smart as Gaster quickly, although while it did give him his wits, it also gave him some of his problems like addiction and carelessness. In general Sans is a careless hero. (Echotale sans is made by Yoralim on tumblr and gastertale sans is made by borurou on tumblr) Next we have Papyrus, sans's older brother and Gasters and Lucidas child. He is the golden child everyone loves and respects. He seems very unloving and rude to many, only thinking in equations and strategies. He is the royal strategist of the royal knights, planning attacks and giving orders. He secretly cares about Sans in a brotherly way, his father Gaster in a fatherly way (unless all you fontcest shippers want more, in which I can't stop ya) and he is in love with Mettaton. Him and Mettaton are lovers who secretly had a child named napstablook, but when the child was found they said the child was sans's. He has a soul of perseverance (again, will be explained at the end) and never gives up on his goals, doing anything to achieve them. (Gastertale papyrus is made by borurou on tumblr). In all Papyrus may seem cold and soulless, but deep down cares about many. Moving on we have Mettaton, star of the underground, mother of napstablook (yes in this Mettaton is a female) and Papyrus's lover. She publicly hates Sans for "rape" but in private is very sorry for pushing it onto him, telling Sans all the time of how sorry she is for having to lie, he eventually forgave her and accepted the role of being napstablooks father. She is very compassionate and caring, always willing to help everyone she meets and just wants to make the underground a better place. She has a soul of compassion (a pink soul is a soul of compassion) and in Omega form her soul is cracked. She was originally a ghost monster, but then Papyrus came along and made her a body to her liking, which is part of the reason she loves Papyrus. All in all she is a compassionate soul (pun intended) and cares for the whole underground like family. Now to the son of Papyrus and Mettaton, Napstablook. Napstablook is very shy but yet kind, putting others before himself. He admires who calls his father Sans and tries to live above Sans's expectations and do whatever it takes to make him happy. He goes to a high school with other monsters and tries to help them with there problems, but is usually bothered a lot and constantly has anxiety attacks due to him being the son of Mettaton. Mettaton tries to help him as much as possible, but usually has Sans or one of her employees babysit him. He feels alone and unloved a lot, but acts happy and cheerful, hoping to be like his mother when he grows up. He loves music and makes many songs of his own, usually romance and techno, the romance songs being about his crush Alphys. He has a soul of patience Alphys is a highschooler who is very intelligent and has a crush on Napstablook (sorry everyone but the Undyne x Alphys ship isn't cannon in this). She is short and chubby, usually wearing a t-shirt and skirt with round glasses. She is kind and helping with a sharp mind and straight A+'s, always being called the monster calculator (like someone calling someone else a human calculator for humans). She is very shy and has anxiety problems coming from years of bullying, one of her only friends being Napstablook, which is part of the reason why she loves him, another reason being that she has heard some of his romance songs secretly. She has a soul of integrity and thinks of Undyne as and older sister or mother since she is an orphan that lives with Undyne. The royal knight herself, Undyne. Undyne is a tough soul who isn't afraid of anything except herself and Gaster. She fights for the betterment of her kingdom and will stop anyone in her path. She loves action movies and her trusty katana termination. She has a small crush on asgore and thinks of alphys like a little sister, helping her be strong and teaching her how to fight when Alphys wants to learn. While she may teach Alphys, Alphys teaches her too about science and math, helping Undyne finally get her education. Undyne works for King Asgore and Gaster, although she doesn't trust Gaster due to his closed off nature and how his sons look so much like him and not their mother. She has a soul of determination. Asgore is the older brother of Toriel (yes they are siblings in this not married, when i first played undertale i thought they were siblings due to their resembling looks) and King of his side of the underground. He is a rough and evil person in battle but can be kind sometimes. He is tall and muscular with black hair and a black "goat T" (puns are awesome), a red stripe going through his sleek, pulled back oily hair. He has huge horns that circle around and point up and foward, wearing heavy armor and a red cape. His sister Toriel and him grew up fighting each other and lost their parents in the great war, they ended up growing up to hate each other and even splitting the kingdom in two. Asgore cares for Sans and Papyrus like they were his brothers and cares about Undyne like the sister he never had and always wanted. Asgore has a soul of Bravery, afraid of much but always standing up to his fears and laughing at them. He asked Gaster once to make a son for him so Gaster injected a bit of every soul type into an echo flower and Asgore named the flower asriel. Toriel is the queen of her kingdom and rules with a soul of Kindness. She always helps everyone she meets and always allows people into her kingdom, giving them hospitality and friendship. She is in love with Sans and has told him many times, although sans doesn't know whether he loves her or just thinks of her as a sister. She cares the most about her nephew Asriel, who is a flower made by Gaster and is Asgores son, she tries to help him with confidence although it's hard for him since he is so weak. She does not have her own army but has a peace treaty with Asgores kingdom. All in all she just wants to make the underground a better place for everyone. Asriel is a kind echo flower with a small soul consisting of every soul type and has the only white soul and because of it called a soul of life, made by Gaster because Asgore wanted a prince to his throne. Asriel tries to be normal and goes to school but gets made fun of a lot for being a flower and called a traitor. One of his only friends is napstablook, who he looks up to and tries to hang out with as much as possible. He tries to help everyone he meets but has a tendancy to lose control when people attack him or make fun of his family. He hates politics and violence and either fights or hides when anyone bring it up to him. Gaster is a malicious being with a soul pure black, discomfort. He is cunning and smart, easily manipulating people and hiding many dark secrets. He is the father of Sans and Papyrus and husband of Lucida. Before Lucidas death he was a nice man with a blue soul, but when his wife died his soul turned black and he began to hate everything, beating Sans day after day as he grew up. He soon became the royal scientist due to his amazing schematics for the new kingdom, and ever since has been helping the underground be a better place while secretly experimenting on people for science and his own sadistic pleasure. He hides his black soul in his skull and shows an artificial blue soul, making everyone think he has a blue soul. Now for the backstory. *cue undertale intro music* long ago many tribes and colonies lived in harmony, such as the dead (ex. Sans, mettaton), the atlantians (ex. Undyne), the goats (ex. Asgore) and many, many more. One day a new tribe was discovered called the humans. These colonies treated the humans with kindness and hospitaliaty but the humans were afraid of them so they started a war. The humans won and cast a spell using millions of human souls (because in this monsters and humans has the same soul types) that made it so nothing could ever leave the underground. Present day: 2772. Those who fall underground are said to never return, being eaten by the horrid monsters that ruled 2772 years ago. But you, a human wandered to the hole, whether it was stupidity, hate for humans, or who wanted only for death to come and take you, and fall into the underground...APHOTICTALE. Okay so now we got what happened before the great war and how you, the human protagonist, have fallen underground, let's talk about what happened to the monsters. The monsters first freaked out, war raging against themselves as all hell broke loose. But one day, the undead colony and the goat colony signed and peace treaty and ended the great war that strarted with the humans attacking. Soon a goverment and civilization was built and most of the "first generation" (ex. Gaster, lucida) had died off, leaving the prince Asgore and princess Toriel in power, at the same time Sans, Papyrus, Undyne, and Mettaton had become adults, these were know as the "second generation". Soon a battle broke out between toriel and Asgore, causing the kingdom to be split in two and a peace treaty being made. After that mettaton had gotten a body and had napstaton, while alphys was born and then abandoned, Undyne finding her and taking her in. Alphys, Asriel, and Napstablook are known as the "third generation" and the ones who are in school right now. Sans: son of gaster and Lucida, brother of Papyrus, accused father of napstablook and alcoholicic scientist, soul of justice, 2nd generation Papyrus: son of Gaster and Lucida, brother of sans, royal stratigist, mettatons lover and real father of napstablook, soul of perserverence, 2nd generation Mettaton: mother of Napstablook, star of underground, soul of compassion, 2nd generation Napstablook: son of Mettaton and Papyrus, goes to highschool, musical sensation, has crush on Alphys, friends with Alphys and Asriel, soul of patience 3rd generation Alphys: adopted daughter/sister of Undyne, has crush on napstablook, anxiety problems, smart, soul of integrity, 3rd generation Undyne: royal knight, step mother/step sister of alphys, has minor crush on asgore, doesn't trust Gaster, super tough, soul of determination, 2nd generation Asgore: king of his kingdom, brother of Toriel, hard and tough on outside but is a bit of a softy, asriels father, soul of bravery, 2nd generation Toriel: queen of her kingdom, sweet, kind, helpful, Asgores sister, asriels aunt, soul of kindness, 2nd generation Asriel: son of Asgore, echo flower injected with a bit of every soul type, nephew of Toriel, friends with alphys and Napstablook, prince to kingdom, soul of life, 3rd generation Gaster: royal scientist, father of Sans and Papyrus, crazy, seems sane on outside, has artificial soul of integrity, wife died, soul of discomfort, 1st generation.

Dear Fandom5k Author,

First of all, thank you so much for writing a story just for me! 

 To start, some of my general likes/dislikes:

What I Like kid!fic (as in, the characters have kids, not the character are kids - toddler age is perfect), crushes/beginning of relationship (the concept of the feelings coming to fruition and both parties going, “WTF is going on? Why am I acting this way around him/her?” is one of my favorite fandom tropes), smut is always good, flirting.

What I Don’t Like Incest, bestiality and molestation are my only three sexual squicks, fandom has desensitized me to everything else. Character bashing. Yes, I’m generally a slasher but that doesn’t mean I hate the female (or in the case of a femslash ship, male) characters (or, if I do, it’s for reasons unrelated to “I ship his/her love interest with his/her best (fe)male friend and s/he gets in the way of the gay sex”). On that note, I also hate when writers completely disregard canon pairings. As much as I don’t want them to, they exist. If you’re gonna break them up, let us know how it happened. Please. And now, my specifics!

Requested Fandom #1: Backstreet Boys, Brian/Nick (AU - Canon Divergence, AU - Modern, Established Relationship, Fluff Getting Together, Slice of Life, Smut) I would be content with just about anything you write me for these two, but here are a few ideas to maybe jumpstart your plot bunnies: 

College AU: Nick is the wet behind the ears freshman, Brian is the TA that steals his heart. Workplace AU: Either one of them gets the other a job, or they meet in a training/orientation session. Things progress. Canon Set: I really love the Millennium/Black & Blue era set stories, so maybe some sort of AU set in that time where the two of them get together versus Brian ending up with Leighanne (and thus Nick doesn't ultimately end up with Lauren).

Feel free to mix and match the requested genres as needed/wanted.

I adore these two so so much (as you can tell because I request them a lot)! They are my babies. I know I gave a few prompts but by all means, don't feel limited to just them. Honestly, if it involves these two, I've seen (and probably loved) some sort of AU with them. (Though I didn't request it, I have even done these two IN SPACE!) I think the only AU I've ever done with these two that I didn't like was a Medieval AU because trying to keep the old timey language in check was tough.

Requested Fandom #2: Voltron: Legendary Defender, Hunk/Lance, Allura/Shiro, Hunk, Lance, Pidge, Shiro (AU - Genre Shift, AU - Modern, Canon Style Plot, Character Development, Fluff, Getting Together, Smut) For Allura/Shiro: A coffee shop AU - Shiro visits this local coffee shop every day before work not just because the coffee is amazing, but the owner isn't bad on the eyes herself. Or something canon set after season 2 where Shiro returns from Lord knows where (the Astral Plane?) and while he was there he realized exactly how he felt about Allura.

Oh, my Space Parents. I really just want them to be happy. And, don't feel like you're limited to these two options. I mentioned them as a jumping ground, not an end all be all, this is what I want and nothing else.

For Hunk/Lance: I really just want a soulmate AU of these two. If you do decide to write smut of these two, please age them up to 18+, thanks.

I've been really invested in soulmate AUs for a while, and these two just seem perfect for it. If you do write one, I'd like something different than a typical "countdown to the day they meet" or "first thing said to them" tattooed on their arm type of AU. But if that doesn't spark you, whatever you want to do with them is fine.

For all of the paladins: I really, really, really just want the character development these four deserved, but did not get, in season 2 since the writers were so darn focused on Keith.

Oh, my feelings on season 2 (I have strong ones). Why did they have to focus on Keith so much (and we got a little bit with Shiro during his astral plane fight with Zarkon, but not nearly enough)? I want to know more about the rest of the Paladins. I want Pidge finding out more about her brother. I want Lance to have more angst about his assumed "seventh wheel" status, that was resolved way too quickly for my liking (and seeing Lance with a vulnerable side was refreshing). I want Hunk... just... not reduced to fat/food jokes. He is so much more than that. I want more of Shiro struggling with his time as a prisoner of the Galra, slowly remembering more of what happened when he was there.

Requested Fandom #3: The Social Network, Mark/Eduardo (Angst, Fix-it fic, Getting Together, Smut) Ah, the bane of every Mark/Eduardo shipper: canon, and the need for fix-it fic. Because everyone in this fandom loves its fix-it fic. Maybe have something set during one of Facebook's milestones: the 10th anniversary, a user count milestone. Something involving a huge party.

These two. My heart. So much heartbreak. I really, really just want them to be happy. I would love it if Mark were the one to extend the olive branch to Eduardo, but however you want to do it is fine with me.

Requested Fandom #4: Pokémon (Games), N/Hilda, Lillie/Moon (AU - Modern, Canon Style Plot, Established Relationship, Getting Together, Smut) (If you write smut, please make sure everyone is aged up to 18+, thanks.)

For Lillie/Moon: Either Moon returning to Kanto, or Lillie returning to Alola. Maybe Moon takes on the Kanto Gym Challenge and Lillie is Indigo League Champion, or Lillie is asked to replace one of the Alola Elite Four.

These two girls completely stole my heart, and I want them to have nothing but happiness. I want to see Lillie as a competent trainer, I want to see Moon impressed by her skills, I want to see them having to battle each other (bonus points if Lillie wins!) and Moon being impressed by Lillie's skills.

For N/Hilda: I see these two reuniting many years in the future, even after the events of Black and White 2, possibly as trainers in their late 20s/early 30s. How has Unova changed? How have they changed?

My babies. I wasn't feeling them until the end of the game, but I fell for them and fell hard. What have they been doing the last couple years? Do they think of each other? What happens when they finally reunite? Do Reshiram and Zekrom have anything to do with their reunion? Does Team Plasma strike again, causing them to have to join forces? 

Requested Fandom #5: Original Work, Female Barista/Female Customer, Female Rock Star/Female Groupie, Male Athlete/Male Athlete (Canon Style Plot, Established Relationship, Fluff, Getting Together, Smut) For Female Barista/Female Customer: She comes in every day and gets the same thing. Maybe she's not just doing it for the coffee. 

For Female Rock Star/Female Groupie: Seeing the same face in the crowd night after night, like the fan's following the rock star around, leads the rock star to want to know more about the fan.

For Male Athlete/Male Athlete: The two are teammates, and one thing just leads to another with them, perhaps.

For any of these, being original work, feel free to take any of these prompts however they lead you (or if something else strikes your fancy, go for it!)
