ghost!dream ask blog (but with a lower budget)

Bc I’ve been struggling with motivation quite a bit for a few days (sorry for the ,, lackluster upload schedule haha) for the last 2 days or so I’ve been running what has ended up being a very very low budget ask blog on my twitter, through a mix of ccat and very short writing. because I’ve wracked up quite a few of these, I thought I’d post them here because I still don’t have any officially finished writing to post ,, haha.

All of these asks take place in my ghost!dream au but (obviously) aren’t technically “canon” because there isn’t actually an audience participation element to the ghost!dream au. Asks could be directed at c!sam, c!dream, or both -> and timeline-wise, these took place before neither of us will be missed

for context, feel free to check out my “ghost!dream au” tag or just look in this ao3 series: https://archiveofourown.org/series/2332778

onto the asks!!

tws: implied torture, abuse, prison arc themes (all very light and kept in the background), slightly c!sam critical (this is a c!sam centric au, technically, and also focuses on his redemption but uh ,,, it’s a slow process), threats of violence, grief, death, emotional repression, memory loss, mild amounts of cringe (sorry, i never said it was a GOOD askblog /lh)

overall, content is pretty light! but there are definitely implications and stuff so stay safe :D

How do you too feel about each other?

Dream lights up immediately at the question, rocking back and forth on his feet. "You mean about Sammy?" He grins widely. "Sammy's AWESOME! He's the only one in my mem-memo-" his face scrunches as he struggles with the word, "mem'ries from before I died, I think. Sam says he doesn't know why I don' remember anyone else because I used to have LOTS and lots of friends but I don't remember them anymore but it's okay because I'm meeting them now and they're all really really nice! Even if they're all grown ups." He sticks his tongue out at the thought, nose scrunching further, and Sam laughs. "Sammy's the best though. He's my second favoritest person ever because my first favoritest is Fran because she's the coolest doggy in the world and I've taught her SO many tricks and she's super duper cool and awesome and Sam thinks so too! Right Sam?" He frowns when Sam doesn't respond immediately, the creeper hybrid's head tipped up as he looks at a spot on the wall, seemingly lost in thought. "Sammy?"

"Mm?" Sam jolts to attention, smiling nervously. "Yeah, bud. Fran is really cool, isn't she?"

"Mmhm!" Dream nods enthusiastically. "What about you Sammy? You haven't answered the question yet."

Sam's smile slips off his face as he looks into the distance again, jaw tensing. Dream looks up at him, eyes wide and slightly concerned, before Sam laughs slightly, the sound off.

"What I think about Dream?" He says the words slowly, almost unsure, before shaking his head. "I mean- this is kind of weird with an audience. But he's my buddy, you know? He's- he's good. Really good," he repeats, the words quiet like they're meant for himself more than anything, before his head snaps up with another small laugh. "Though I don't know how good he is after sneaking an extra slice of pie yesterday-"

"SAMMY!" Dream splutters, and the two of them immediately begin to laugh.

Apart from Fran, are there any other animals you would love to make friends with? And if so, which type of animals do you think you will love the most? - Saltiest of Boxes aka Saltbox

Dream gasps immediately at the question while Sam looks to the side with a particularly long-suffering sigh; there's the sense that whatever is coming has happened many, many times before. The feeling only grows when Dream immediately dashes out of the room and Sam's head falls into his hands.

"You couldn't have asked any other question?" Sam shakes his head, but the words sound warm, fond, even as he rolls his eyes when Dream enters the room running, a blur in his hands that ends up looking like a notebook when he's slowed down enough to actually see it.

"Okay, okay," he brushes off the cover, opening it up in the middle before flipping through the pages loudly. He makes a small, satisfied noise once he's found whatever he's looking for, turning over the notebook to show off his work proudly: the pages are covered in a child's signature scrawl, the words large and messy and written with what seems like bright green ink. Dream points to a collection of larger words that might, in some way, approximate a title.

"Dream, we've been over this, we can't get-"

"A List Of All The Animals Sam Should Get Dream," Dream reads off proudly, completely ignoring Sam's words, "Number One: A Horse. Horses are super cool and useful and they get you around super duper fast. They can help with lots of work and will make it a lot easier to travel to the mine quickly."

"Dream, you're way too little for a horse buddy we've talked about this-"

"Number Two: A Cat. Cats are cuddly and friendly and they keep away creepers from exploding your stuffs. They meow and purr and are super cute. They're also easy to take care of and aren't messy."

"Dream-"

"Number Three: A Llama. Llamas with chests make it easy to carry stuff around places and will give more inventory space when we go adventuring or mining or ANYTHING! They can also wear lots of pretty things and you can ride them places in a giant line of llamas-"

Sam smiles, somewhat strained and yet somehow still fond. "You might want to sit down. We'll be here for a while."

"Number Four: A Squid-"

Ghost c!dream is so cute btw so how does c!sams capitalist arc tie into it? If you already did this i forgot sorry djjddj

"Sammy, what's a captitalist" "It's capitalist, Dream," Sam says, sounding out the word slowly and waiting until Dream says it back, correctly this time. "And it's...boring grown up stuff."

"Ew," Dream shakes his head. "Why are people asking about boring boring grown up stuff?"

Sam smiles. "When you grow up, you have to talk about boring grown up stuff sometimes," he says, and Dream sticks out his tongue.

"Blah! I'm never going to do boring grown up stuff when I'm an adult. I bet when I was alive I didn't do anything like the capitalist because I'm not a BORING grown up." Sam's expression shutters, falls, but Dream is too busy doing something on the other side of the room to notice.

"Yeah bud," he says noncommitally, "hey- how about you put back your notebook, buddy? So you don't lose it?"

Sam turns back when Dream runs out of the room, voice pitched low, expression stoic. "Let's not talk about Las Nevadas while he's around, alright?"

whats some of the memories you have of sam, dream?

Sam's face falls immediately, eyes becoming dark and flinty. "Hey-" he starts, jaw set, "watch it-"

"Memories? Of Sammy?" Dream blinks, looking confused as his head cocks to the side. "Do you mean Before?"

"Dream," Sam's voice pitches lower, softer and kinder. "You don't have to answer if you don't want to."

Dream shakes his head, seemingly lost in thought. "Uh..." Sam's eyes tip upwards again; his eyes are narrowed, eyebrows drawn, but there's something else flickering in the backs of them, a slight thread of anxiety thrumming in the hollows behind his words. "We were on the Community House," Dream starts, words picking up in speed as he closes his eyes to immerse himself in the memory, "and in the middle of the lake- an' we were fishing." His hands flex at his sides. "I think- we wanted name tags? And it was pretty, and nice, and Sammy laughed lots and I laughed lots and I-" he shakes his head. "I?"

"Dream?"

"I was in the box," Dream's voice is far away now, quiet enough so you have to strain to really pick up all the words, "And it was dark, an' hot, an' kinda scary," His eyes snap open- dark, starless skies, an endless void, somehow staring right at you and not really seeing you at all. "But I was never alone 'cause Sammy was there. Right?"

Sam nods. Somehow, he looks even tenser than before. "Yeah," he looks away, expression taut. "I was there."

do u like the block obsidian Dream? what about crying obsidian? lava?

Dream freezes. If Sam looked tense before, now he looks flat out dangerous; his voice is level and cold when he speaks.

"What do you know?" He hisses, trident appearing in his hand. "And what the hell do you want?"

Dream's expression is carefully, awfully neutral; he blinks blankly, lips pulled in a small line. Sam's eyes flick towards him every few seconds, hands tightening into fists at his side.

"Sammy?" Dream says, when he finally speaks again. "What did they just ask?"

Sam's glare never falters even as his voice softens. "Nothing, buddy." His trident disappears from his hand, but you have no doubt that it remains in his hotbar, ready and waiting. "Nothing at all."

Least favorite nightmare?

Dream blinks at the question, expression blank, before turning to look at Sam- who is staring with an increasingly angry expression, lips tight and pursed together.

"I don' remember most of my dreams," Dream says quietly, thinking, "So I dunno. What about you, Sammy?"

Sam's expression twists, and he goes silent, seemingly stuck in his own head before coming back to himself with a heavy sigh. "Failing," he says, finally, looking back up with an expression that makes it clear that he's not going to elaborate. Dream looks up at him, clearly confused.

"Failing? But you never fail!" He shakes his head. "You say we always gotta keep trying an' not give up, right?"

Sam smiles, lips tight at the corners. "Yeah," he laughs sharply, the sound lacking any real humor. "But sometimes you...make mistakes, buddy. Ones you can't fix."

"Oh," Dream nods with a strangely knowing hum. "An' then you apologize t'make it better, right?"

Sam nods. When he speaks, his words are slow, voice strange. "Yeah. You apologize and make it better. Good job, bud."

Biggest secret?

Dream bounces in place at the question excitedly, hands flapping at his sides. "Ooh! I know-" he looks back at Sam, "It's the Lemon Man- oh!" He claps his hands over his mouth. "That was a secret! Oh no-"

Sam looks- shaken. "The Lemon Man?"

Dream shakes his head. "Shh! It's a secret!"

Sam nods slowly. "Okay, Dream," he smiles thinly. "If you say so."

"We should stop speaking about secrets," Dream says sagely, "'cause then we might spoil something we shouldn't."

Sam nods a little too quickly, looking- relieved?" "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea."

Hardest thing to adjust to?

"Moving," Dream says after a pause to think, humming quietly to himself with his eyes fixed on the ceiling. Sam is still watching with dark, wary eyes, gaze flicking over to Dream every few seconds before turning back, lips pressed together. "Ms. Puffy said we gotta move away from home to the Comm'nity House to be closer to everyone, but I still miss it."

Sam's expression looks drawn in the corners even as he looks down at the ghost child with a small smile - nervous, maybe, or guilty. "But it's been nice to spend time with everyone, right kiddo?"

"Yeah!" Dream perks up at the words, "I've been going out with lots and lots of people! Sammy said that we couldn't before 'cause it wasn't safe but now I can as long as I'm careful," he looks up with a questioning look, "right Sam?"

"Mmhm," Sam says after a slow second, "as long as you make sure to be careful, bud."

"What about you?"

Sam shrugs. "Moving, I guess," his expression remains unreadable, wary, guarded. Whatever thoughts he might actually hold behind those hardened eyes don't leave any traces on his face as he moves to kneel in front of Dream with a soft smile and a hand brought forward to ruffle the kid's hair.

"But you said you used to live here!" Dream sounds slightly confused, cocking his head to the side, and Sam replies with a low, rumbling laugh.

"That was a long time ago, buddy," he smooths down the kid's hoodie, readjusting it until Dream bats his hands away with a small "hey!" that makes him laugh harder. "I haven't lived here in a while."

"You said that alive-me lived here too," Dream points out, and Sam's face falls.

"Yeah Dream," he says after a long while. "You did."

has sam told you what happened yet

"What...happened?" Dream looks confused more than anything, the space between his eyebrows creasing as his nose scrunches in thought. "What do you mean?"

"Dream?" Sam, on the other hand, looks frozen. His face flattens into a sharp, brittle smile as he plants a firm but gentle hand on Dream's upper back. "I think I forgot- my cup, from the other room. Could you grab it for me please?"

Dream nods enthusiastically before running off, his footsteps loud against the wood floor. When Sam looks back from him, the smile has disappeared, leaving nothing but a deep-set frown and glittering, angry eyes.

"Listen," he starts, voice rough and deep, "I don't know who you are. I don't know how you know, and I don't know what you want. But Dream?" His hand jerks in the direction of the kid that had run out the room, thumb jabbing towards the open door, "He doesn't remember anything. He's- damn it," Sam pinches the bridge of his nose, "He's a kid, okay? He's a kid, and he doesn't remember what it was like to fucking DIE, and I don't know what you've got against me but he sure as hell doesn't deserve to-" he cuts himself with a muttered swear, dragging his hand down his face. "He doesn't need to go through that again, okay? Just. Let him be- please."

His voice dips lower, more desperate, almost begging at the end. Dream comes running back through the door, and his head snaps back in his direction, once again plastering a strained smile on his lips.

"Here you go Sammy," Dream shoves the mug into Sam's hands, looking at him curiously when he skids to a stop. "Did you answer the question?"

"Yeah, kiddo," Sam looks over again, a knowing, begging gleam to his eye. "We figured it out."

is it hard taking care of dream, sam? do you enjoy it? do you think youre the most suited person for it?

"Is it hard being a parent?" Sam quips immediately, shaking his head as he does so. "He's a kid, man. There's no such thing as 'easy' when you're taking care of a child- kind of a weird question."

He turns fond eyes to Dream, who is busy in the opposite side of the room, playing with Fran. "I don't really know what you're asking for, but I guess- yeah, it isn't easy. He's a kid, you know how they are- and, well." He shrugs. "He's also a dead kid. Being a ghost has its own...unique challenges. Traumas." He goes quiet at that, still watching Dream; the kid has found what appears to be a wooden hoop from who-knows-where, struggling to keep it upright to coax the dog through.

"It's rewarding, though," he says after a long while, voice low and soft. "I- I like to think that we're both...happier, than before."

Dream laughs, clear and bright, interrupting him as the wooden hoop clatters to the ground, knocked loose by Fran moving to tackle him to the ground, her tail a blur in the air. Dream devolves into soft wheezes and giggles as he pets the fur of Fran's neck, only growing louder as Fran moves to bump her nose against his face.

"I don't- I really don't know, why he remembers me. Hell knows he shouldn't," Sam mutters a soft, self-deprecating laugh. "But- I don't know. I'm trying, I guess. We'll see-" he looks over with a small, strained smile. "Maybe this will be the one I won't fuck up, ha."

You ask what we know? Sam we are whats left of Dreams chat. We could not see him but we could feel, we knew. If we could sleep we would have nightmares, if we had tears we would weep. We know Sam. We know.

Sam stills, pressing his lips together into a small frown, still watching Dream on the other side of the room.

"I..." the muscles of his neck are tense, jumping slightly with every breath he sucks through his teeth. 'I suspected," he says finally, the words slow. "And- fuck."

His hand comes up to his head, wiping at it roughly and hiding his expression.

"Whatever you know, whatever- whatever you guys are, whatever you can do," he shakes his head, "I'm- we're past that, alright? He-" he hisses. "He doesn't remember. And I know, you guys don't want me near him, I'm sure if I were you I'd want me a hell of a long way from him as well, but-" he cuts himself off. "We're moving on. Everyone's...finally moving on. It's better like this." He closes his mouth quickly, teeth clicking against each other. Even with his expression as guarded as it is, there's no mistaking the hesitancy that lingers on his face. "It's better like this."

Not a question, but I stopped by Mcpuffy's and got a happy meal for Dream! I think it has an Among us toy! And a coffee for you, Sam. You look like you need it.

"McPuffy's!!!" Dream runs over immediately, making grabby hands for the red cardboard container now hanging from Sam's hand.

"We had McPuffy's just yesterday, Dream," Sam says with a long suffering sigh, smiling and shaking his head as he sets the food down on the dining table. "Alright, alright, there you go." Dream pulls himself into a chair immediately, opening the box after a few tries and pulling out a small containers of fries, nuggets, a chocolate milk, and a few apple slices.

"Make sure to actually eat your apples," Sam says with a smile, getting a stuck-out tongue from Dream, though the kid goes to open the plastic bag of apples afterwards. He goes back to the container, digging around until he finds whatever he's looking for, making a triumphant noise as he pulls out what seems to be a plastic-wrapped among us figure from the box.

"Look! It's the imposter!" Dream giggles as he unwraps the space man, wielding a small plastic knife betraying its aforementioned status as the imposter. "Look Sammy! He's green like me!"

"That he is, Dream," Sam ruffles his hair again. "We'll go thank Puffy for the gift this afternoon, alright?"

"Mmhm!" Dream nods emphatically before moving to tear into his nuggets, handing Sam a packet of ketchup to rip open as he opens the box. "You have the fries, Sammy," he says absentmindedly, and Sam hums around his cup of coffee.

"Alright, bud."

What do you feel/remember about the following prompts? betrayal, netherite, axes, dripping sounds, darkness, being alone. Anything out of these that resonates with you in any way? And if so, in what way?

Sam is glaring, a trident held in his hands; Dream, too busy with his chocolate milk, isn't looking in his direction and seems completely oblivious to the question that you'd only gotten a few words into asking before being interrupted by a trident leveled at your throat.

"This is your last warning," Sam whispers, the words low and heavy, little more than a roll of thunder rumbling through the floor. "Stop asking him about Pandora."

How do you know Dream isn't lying about forgetting?

Sam is still glaring, the trident having not left his hand; for a second, staring into those dark, narrowed eyes, it's unclear whether or not he'll actually use the thing and send the points straight into your neck.

After a second, he sighs, visibly deflating, the trident going back into his inventory with a flash of light.

"I don't know why you're so obsessed with talking about some of the worst experiences in that kid's life," he says, words sharp and sarcastic, "but sure. I'll bite. I don't know, really. His memories are fluid. Sometimes he remembers things. Sometimes he doesn't." He shrugs. "He might remember more than he lets on. He might not. And honestly? I hope to Prime that he doesn't." He turns around with another glare, eyes somehow narrowing further. His hand, lying at his side, flexes into a fist. "We're done here, got it? He's been through enough."

what's the thing you regret the most ? :)

"Ummmm..." Dream trails off through a bite of his third chicken nugget, humming to himself as he thinks. "I dunno."

Sam rolls his eyes, evidently annoyed with the questions. "You don't have to answer if you can't think of anything, Dream."

"Can you think of anything Sammy?" Sam shrugs, the slight, irritated slant of his mouth not leaving his face. "I don't know either, kiddo."

"Maybe..." Dream shrugs. "Um, when I went mining with Sammy and we found a whole buncha diamonds and I accidentally mined through halfa them without Fortune? That was kinda dumb."

Sam laughs. "We all do that sometimes. It's alright."

"You sure you can't think of anything, Sammy?"

"Mmm," Sam hums. The slight crease between his eyebrows doesn't disappear even as he shakes his head, not meeting Dream's eyes. "Nope. Sorry, bud."

dream, have you met anyone other than sam yet? if not, will you?

Sam visibly relaxes at the easier question, looking over fondly as Dream immediately explodes into a flurry of noise and flapping limbs, obviously excited.

"Ooh! Yeah! I met lots and lots of people-" Dream begins ticking off names on his fingers, obviously thinking hard to remember, "Um- there was Bad, and Ant, and the Lemon Man-" he gasps. "Whoops. Forget that one. Um, then Puffy, and Sap and George!" He turns to Sam. "Is that everyone?

Sam hums softly. "I think so, Dream."

"Sammy says that I knew all of them before I died," Dream says, matter-of-fact. "But I don't remember them anymore. Sapnap says that maybe I'll get more memories later! That'd be cool, I think."

Sam hums again. "That sounds good, buddy."

"But I've been becoming friends with them all now! They're all really really nice, even if they're all grown ups." Dream turns over with a sunny grin, eyes scrunched at the corners from how wide it is. "Sammy's my favorite, though. Don't tell them that! It's a secret."

Sam stills. "Yeah?"

"Mmhm!" Dream nods emphatically. "But you can't tell them that, okay? It's a secret!"

"...okay," Sam says softly, looking away. "Sounds good, kid."

Perhaps this is a more appropriate question for sam (and apologies if this was already made clear somewhere else), but I’m curious about dream’s… maturity? Is ghost dream actually a little kid? And if so what’s that like for both of you? This is said with peace and love, he seems like a little Angel

Sam takes a few seconds before answering the question, picking at the gas mask hanging around his neck as he watches Dream silently, the kid having finished his meal and now playing happily with the imposter toy he had Sam help him unwrap.

"I'm not entirely sure," he says, the words quiet. "The only ghost we had before was Ghostbur, and Ghostbur was...different, too. Ghostbur came back as an adult? I think? I didn't know him very well. But Dream, well," he goes quiet again, eyes faraway, "he looks...just like he did, when we first met."

Sam makes a vague little gesture with his hand towards the kid, still looking somewhere in the distance. "Is he a kid? Is he- Dream, anymore? I...don't know. I don't know if I want to know, honestly." He laughs, small and short. "He seems like a kid, anyway. Acts just like he used to. I- I don't know. Maybe that'll change one day. But-" he shakes his head. "It's better like this. Prime knows he's suffered enough."

i want to address the “boba fett is catholic” meme i’m seeing in the notes of my post, bc, while hilarious, it’s actually quite an interesting bit of expanded universe history!

from what i understand, the meme comes from someone quoting a snippet from the expanded universe in which boba fett says that he considers sex outside of marriage immoral. which, yeah, is a weirdly catholic thing for him to say. so let me provide some context.

this quote is taken from the short story “the last one standing” by daniel keys moran. daniel keys moran wrote probably some of the strangest prose about fett and was the first writer to really take a crack at his backstory (this was well before aotc when boba was revealed to be a clone), as well as his history with han solo. if you like, uh, smoother characterizations of boba fett, you might not like this version so much: some words to describe moran’s boba fett would be obsessive, paranoid, and disturbed.

anyway, most of moran’s writing (aside from a few snippets that were expanded on but we’ll get to that later) was retconned after aotc, so if you just want to be like, “nope, boba fett never said that shit, never happened,” while still exploring other legends material, then absolutely feel free. but if you want several textually-supported reasons for why he’d say something like that that aren’t being space catholic, read on.

so, first of all, the immediate context: why tf is a bounty hunter talking about extramarital sex at all? well, the context is that boba fett is in jabba’s palace after leia has been captured. she has been sent to his room as a reward (ugh) and he’s trying to persuade her that 1. he doesn’t intend to assault her and 2. she really should just crash in his room for the night anyway bc if she goes back to jabba, it’ll be seen as a sign of disrespect and they’ll both get in trouble. leia is understandably on-edge and mistrusting of him and this is when he says the “sex between those not married is immoral” thing; he’s trying to convince leia that he really isn’t going to touch her.

(for those wondering, he doesn’t. he gives her some blankets to cover herself and lets her sleep in the bed while he spends the night sitting on the floor)

so! if you so wish, you could easily explain the whole thing as boba saying space catholic shit (whether he actually believes it or not) to reassure leia that she’s safe in his room for the night. he says himself that if she were to go back to jabba, jabba would likely take boba’s refusal to touch her as an insult and take retribution against him, so boba has plenty of incentive to try and convince leia to do otherwise.

but wait! what if you’re fine with boba having hang-ups about sex and relationships and just want a reason other than just “space catholicism?” well, friends, the good news is that that reading is even more supported by the text in a way that would later be expanded upon in post-aotc legends content.

though, before we proceed, lemme just slap down a content warning for discussion of drugs, sexual assault, and the intersection thereof.

now, back to “the last one standing.” leia eventually decides to trust fett and the two proceed to have a really awkward slumber party. leia, noting the lengths fett is going to in order to make her feel safe, begins to question what someone like him is doing working for jabba the hutt. they talk about morality for a bit and boba actually seems to enjoy talking to her--up to the point where she says he reminds her a bit of han. he reacts angrily, saying he and han are nothing alike. curious about his reaction, leia keeps pressing. why does he hate han so much? boba responds by saying it’s bc han smuggles spice. leia is like, “dude, seriously? you literally kill people for a living.” boba gets increasingly, uncharacteristically loud and agitated arguing with leia about why smuggling spice is worse than murder and is one of the worst things a criminal could sink to. and then, finally, at the crescendo of their argument, he snaps at her, “If I had been using spice tonight, Leia Organa, perhaps you would not be safe with me in this room.”

so, uh. what the fuck, right? apparently the reason boba hates han is bc han smuggles spice and spice... makes people more likely to be rapists, according to him??? what???

moran doesn’t fully answer these questions in the story, though he drops some major hints--the beginning few scenes show boba as a young man in jail for murdering a man named lenovar, his superior officer in the journeyman protectors, and staunchly refusing to say why other than that lenovar deserved it. this is followed by a scene maybe a couple of years later with boba literally burning a spice lord’s palace to the ground. this is all the context moran provides, but, the story doesn’t end there as later EU writers would keep this peculiar bit of characterization and expand upon its background.

which brings us to the backstory that post-aotc legends writers eventually settled on: when boba was 16, he began to feel dissatisfied with his life as a bounty hunter. he befriended another teenaged bounty hunter who felt the same way: sintas vel. the two of them ended up eloping to concord dawn, his father’s home-planet, and tried to live “normal” lives or as normal as two teenaged former bounty hunters could manage. boba got a job as a journeyman protector, where he was taken under the wing of a superior officer named lenovar; boba and sintas even had a daughter, named ailyn.

for awhile, everything seemed fine, but, of course, this contentment was not to last. lenovar turned out to be a scumbag predator who, after gaining boba and sintas’s trust, sexually assaulted sintas. fearing what might happen to her young family if she tried to retaliate, sintas attempted to keep the whole thing a secret. however, boba eventually found out and immediately ran off to murder the shit out of lenovar. combined with the details from moran’s story, the implication is that lenovar was a spice-user and/or that he attempted to use spice as an excuse for his behavior when boba confronted him. either way, after murdering lenovar, boba was imprisoned for killing his superior officer. however, in an effort to protect sintas, he refused to say why he did it and instead just insisted to his interrogators that lenovar deserved what he got and that he felt no remorse for killing him (retroactively explaining the scene at the beginning of “the last one standing.”)

boba was subsequently exiled from concord dawn and his family, leaving him with bucketloads of unresolved issues regarding relationships, sex, and spice. i would say that it would be perfectly reasonable if not outright supported by legends material to view boba’s apparent disapproval of casual sex in moran’s short story as his own thin self-justification for deeper issues that have nothing to do with space catholicism and everything to do with All That Shit that happened to him and sintas when they were teenagers.

at the end of the day, technically all of legends/the expanded universe has been retconned, so feel free to take as much or as little of this as you’d like for your own personal boba fett canon. i just wanted to provide some alternative interpretations of that line other than just “boba fett happened to be space catholic, i guess”

#boba fett #drugs mention ///#rape mention ///#honestly nothing is canon anymore so just choose whatever explanation you like best and run with it #up to and including ''he literally never said that shit''#i'm just incapable of NOT infodumping about legends!boba fett lmao

[REPOST] MY 2K WORD COMMENTARY/ANALYSIS OF RANBOO’S LORE STREAM

‼️‼️This post contains lore spoilers from Ranboo’s 4/23 stream, “The Enderwalk Saga. Chapter 1: The Lessons”. If you haven’t seen that stream don’t read ahead unless you want spoilers‼️‼️

disclaimer: this isnt really an analysis as much as a bunch of commentary and half-baked theories.

-on the way to the mansion he was sort of talking to himself saying stuff like "i'm good i'm good" which m a y be a normal thing but also maybe it's not and it flew over our heads cause he talks to chats and donos like that so often

-again, this one may just be a normal thing but when he was climbing up the stairs in the mansion looking for foolish, he repeats some of his words like down to the exact same tone of voice and everything. 12:42, "this mansion is way too big actually. this mansion is way too big actually." (why the repeated actually? seems odd to me but again it might just be a normal thing that i haven't picked up on). (right after) "okay okay lemme find him lemme find him" again repeated words in the e x a c t same tone.

-does everyone know about ranboo's silk touch hands ability thing? or was that just a techno and ranboo main character moment. bc if it was, how would foolish know that ranboo could pick up the full cake after it'd been partially eaten. unless everyone on the sever knows about that in which case this means nothing. but if they d o n t know... how would foolish know? ranboo wrote about it in the do not read book so maybe if it's not a publicly known thing maybe foolish got his hands on the book and read it??

-14:53-ish, they're talking about the war room and how it was for tubbo or whatever and ranboo says, and i quote "he prepares for lore but he's never gonna do it." now funny thing is at first i couldn't tell if he said "war" like in reference to the war room or "lore". but after playing the clip over and over i can say with ALMOST 100% certainty that he said lore. there is a definite L sound at the beginning of the word. which either means a) this was a slip up (doubtful bc he said later that there were no mistakes), b) he broke the fourth wall because they were supposed to be rping at that point, or c) i'm completely wrong and he said "war" which leads down an entire other road of possibilities

-15:17 "are you a book reader?" "*checks inventory for do not read book* uh yeah i'd say i'm a book reader-" dunno how i didn't catch this the first time I HATE THAT DAMN BOOK

-15:18 there's blue in his hotbar. where did he get the blue.

-16:40 "it's like a metaphor- i have two minds: i have my normal self, my normal little shift-dancing self, and then the builder one. the builder one is demanding. it's a very demanding mind." ranboo then lets out a weird sigh after this. i feel like what foolish was talking about was an indirect(?) parallel to ranboo in and out of enderwalk, there's how he normally is, trying to do best for others, and then there's enderwalk, meeting up with bad guys and "demanding" things (its very late as i write this i really don't know what i'm talking about)

-17:11 "you have your panic closet" i'm sorry his what now 😀 no but seriously how the hell did i miss some of these

-18:04 "you're asking me if i remember?" very funny ranboo thank you for making jokes in these trying times

-18:25 WHY DID HE GET OUT THE AXE WHEN STARING AT THE BEE

-19:38 why did foolish hold the grass block- most of these observations probably mean nothing but- h u h - is that- i'm too tired for this

-19:54 "i never properly thanked you for the deal you made with me" so foolish got something out of this deal, we're not sure if ranboo did. "the green cardboard box" again do you mean dream's house- but seriously the only people i can think of on the server that are associated with green are dream and sam. and i have no idea what cardboard box could be referring to. foolish got a lime colored shulker from drista

-20:30 "we're supposed to only talk about it at a certain location" hmm now where would that be? panic room maybe? cause like usually after doing a big thing in the enderwalk state ranboo wakes up in the panic room so maybe? the deal was that they only talk about it in his house

-21:52 how does ranboo receive(?) the lessons? like are they whispered to him in his mind or is he seeing them as words in front of him like we see? hmm

-"Lesson 14: If you have the opportunity to gain a favor, take it." "gain a favor" don't you usually ask people for favors though? how does one "gain a favor"? anyways i'm pretty sure lesson 14 has to do with the deal foolish was talking about. (the deal explained because i now have info: at some point a bit ago foolish met up with ranboo and asked to make a deal, he'd gotten a shulker box from drista. the deal was that ranboo would have ownership of the box, it would be under his name but foolish rents/borrows it indefinitely. ranboo negotiated that if he took ownership of the box he would get a "war favor" from foolish where if something happens that creates sides, ranboo can ask him a favor that could change his side. but why would foolish want ranboo to have ownership of the shulker you may ask? well i have an answer for you. a theory actually but still. basically since drista technically isn't supposed to give out shit on the server if someone where to have that stuff then they may get in trouble. foolish wants to be able to use the shulker but if it gets found he doesn't want to get in trouble, so he can blame it on ranboo seeing as it's under his name.)

-22:16-ish "i still have this from when you *can't understand whats said here*" well i guess that sort of explains why he had the grass block? idk man (info update: he had the grass block from when ranboo threw it at him telling him to calm down like what ghostbur does with blue)

-31:35 "i figured out how to cause it" how to cause the enderwalk state

-38:30 "ninety three lessons" I STILL DONT KNOW WHY HE KEPT SAYING NINETY THREE AND NOT NINETY FOUR AND ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY LMAO

-39:01 "it's all for the greater good" okay well when are you gonna start thinking about yourself and not everyone else for once huh. self care bitch.

-40:31 he started holding the axe when he was looking at sam- gonna say it i really don't like that axe ahahah- WAIT A DAMN MINUTE THE AXE IS NAMED "axe of ender" I DONT LIKE THAT I DONT LIKE THAT AT ALL

-41:53 is there something?? physically keeping him from telling sam??? or maybe it's sort of like his enderwalk state taking control to make him shut the fuck up??? so many questions and approximately zero answers

-43:18 ranboo raising his voice legitimately scares me 😀👍

-"Lesson 27: Do not reminisce on what you have lost for it will weigh you down." showed up when he was thinking about and REMINISCING about the community house 👀👀

-"Lesson 53: Never fully trust anyone." showed up literally after he said that he thinks he can trust the other people on the server enough to tell them about what he did

-"Lesson 67: Leave no evidence of what you have helped with." this is different from the others because there doesn't seem to be at least a semi-direct connection to it? unless maybe at the time ranboo was near something he may have "helped with"? not sure about this one

-"Lesson 94: DO NOT LET THEM KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE" yeah yeah i get it i get it he's fucked up some shit in enderwalk i don't feel like analyzing this thanks

-OH OH NOTICE HOW HE SAYS "REMEMBERING" WHEN THE LESSONS SHOW UP. IMPLYING THAT THIS ISNT A NEW THING, ITS HAPPENED BEFORE AND NOW HES REMEMBERING IT. MAYBE HE WROTE DOWN THE LESSONS WHEN HE WAS IN ENDERWALK AND NOW THAT HES BEEN EXPERIMENTING ITS BEEN EASIER FOR HIM TO REMEMBER THOSE ENDERWALK MEMORIES

-okokok the experiments are that he's been e x p e r i m e n t i n g on how to purposefully induce the enderwalk state. and we know now that it wasn't from the pain of the water because on the stream afterwords he said that it's caused by the intense fear of something happening. and so the "side effects" of the experiments is that since he's in enderwalk more often(?) he starts remembering more things from it

-OH MY GOD WAIT "there is a reason sam, there's so many reasons, theres ninety three of them" (44:47) WHAT IF EVERY LESSON IS TIED TO A QUOTE UNQUOTE "reason" THAT RANBOO THINKS HES A BAD PERSON/NEEDS TO BE LOCKED UP BUT HE SAYS NINETY THREE INSTEAD OF NINETY FOUR BECAUSE THE NINETY FOURTH LESSON DOESNT HAVE A REASON YET/HE DOESNT REMEMBER IT HAVING A REASON

-dude honestly the whole sam part hurts so much this man is scarily good at acting

-46:46 "i cant put you in the prison you wouldn't be able to see michael anymore" bestie that's the point he doesn't want to accidentally hurt michael or tubbo in the enderwalk state—

-okay but there's no way that sam couldn't tell that ranboo was at least TRYING to confess to something- i feel like he definitely knows more than he's letting on because usually like when people do bad shit or admit to doing bad shit he's like in Prison Guard Mode™️ (he literally cut off ponk's arm because he stole some keycards or something) and whatever and idk what he knows but he definitely knows something and is trying to protect ranboo. or he's trying to manipulate him or smth either one works—

-50:38 "you are a good person" "i am?" you can hear my heart shatter. "yes you are" "i don't think so sam" "i do, even if you don't" "i really don't think so" and there it goes again

-51:25 hello badboyhalo i see you to the left of ranboo

-52:44 "but then my curiosity got the best of me" curiosity killed the cat, bitch

-52:54 "there's ninety three, ninety four, ninety- theres so many reasons!" SEE!! NOT ONLY ARE THERE THAT MANY LESSONS THERE ARE REASONS THAT CORRESPOND IM S O SMART—

-52:56 "i don't want to remember anymore!" *quietly brings forth my theory that when ranboo loses a canon life his memory gets wiped*

-53:13 "ive opened pandora's box" isn't the prison?? literally called pandora's VAULT??? so this m a y be a stretch but i'm thinking that maybe this could be taken in the literal sense that he "opened" the prison and let dream out (the sirens at the end of quackity's stream confirm that dream is indeed out)

-53:42 mans just straight up walked through a ghost i—

-55:37 so are we just gonna ignore the eleventh page of the book? "he's alive, but hopefully soon dream won't be"??? alright nevermind it's most likely bc when tommy came back he recruited ranboo in his plan to kill dream

-55:47 notice how he writes "what am i?" as opposed to "who am i?" no elaboration here idk what it could be

-56:08 just so it's clear for anyone who doesn't know- he's wearing armor at this point, and i'm like 90% sure that when he wears his armor water can't hurt him. and i saw someone say somewhere that like with splash potions when thrown it turns into a gas-like thing? so again, it didn't hurt him, he didn't get hurt. he said in the chill stream that he wasn't comfortable making it where his character had to hurt himself to do that. the thing that causes the enderwalk isn't pain, it's intense and sudden emotions like fear and stress. thank you for coming to my tedtalk.

exes au part 15

post directory

em: viola teas i am like. incapable of sleeping in

em: i woke up 10:30 on the dot and i thought. what the fuck

em: 10:30 is especially offensive bc it means the mcdonald’s breakfast is done

obsetress: brain immediately said viola up and about doing all the chores vacuuming with no sympathy for her constantly sleeping in snoring girlfriend dani clayton

obsetress: but nah i'm sorry for you that sucks

em: inspiring deranged viola behaviour is

em: the greatest gift of all

obsetress: god so true when u think about it

obsetress: not that viola vacuums, she def has cleaners but

obsetress: actually no

obsetress: she has cleaners but she's prob not satisfied and gets out her expensive vacuum she has no idea how to use and is clattering n making such a fuss

obsetress: and poor dani

em: she’s up and about rearranging things, she’s causing a ruckus,

obsetress: dani's like "you have just as bad insomnia as me and you're just... getting up? that early?"

obsetress: viola shrugs "i don't need that much sleep"

obsetress: "you do, though"

obsetress: she shrugs and disappears into the kitchen

obsetress: insomniac gf and insomniac gf

em: insomnia gfs

em: viola runs on like

em: supernatural element carrying over: viola is a little too good at running on no sleep and no one knows if she ages

obsetress: YEAH

em: i love a sorta, grounded real life show w like one or two unexplained ambiguously supernatural things that no one blinks at

obsetress: i was gonna be like

obsetress: i wonder what dani and viola do when theyre up not sleeping at night and then i was like

obsetress: Well,

obsetress: no they do that but they also do the most random borderline unhinged shit like

obsetress: dani tries new baking recipes and they sit on the countertop in their pjs or underwear or nothing and eat scones at three am

em: go for night drives

em: night drives aren’t even unhinged but they’re nice

em: but they don’t listen to music they listen to fucken podcasts

obsetress: that fuckin lorde song

[em note: it's supercut]

obsetress: they go to the roof and dani lays her head in viola's lap and stares at the stars while viola reads to her in french

obsetress: ours are the moments.........i play in the dark OH MY GOD VI'S INSOMNIA AFTER DANI LEAVES AND SHES ALONE

em: ur a MONSTER

obsetress: i need to lay on the floor and put this song on repeat

obsetress: anyway um

obsetress: another thought from when i was thinking about the vacuum like

obsetress: viola has a degree of learned helplessness that all rich people have but she's not an idiot like the rest of them yknow and i think like

obsetress: she had to do a lot when she and perdita were kids!

obsetress: after her mom died

em: hannah......

obsetress: and then after her dad died before she married arthur and like

obsetress: then being a single mom (viola lloyd single mom i'm drooling) even w all the help she can afford

obsetress: she has a chip on her shoulder and Does Things For Herself but also just

obsetress: sometimes it happens! there's never enough time and never enough help!

obsetress: and she loves isabel so much like

obsetress: viola making isabel her lunches

obsetress: oh god

em: making her little lunches at like 2am bc it’s been a busy day and she’s tired and she’s sore and she’s sad but the one thing viola will never skip is like

em: making sure isabel gets her lunches

em: hey what is wrong with us

obsetress: GOD YEAH

obsetress: EXACTLY

obsetress: anyway um yeah viola making isabel her lunches at two am

obsetress: i know that i wrote jamie leaving flora notes on her napkins but like

[em note: read 'and she taught me a lesson alright']

obsetress: i just think it's something a mom who really loves her kid and wants them to feel safe and okay would do so i want to say vi does it for isabel too!!! and what of it they're different universes it's fine

em: ur just building the hannah obsetress cinematic universe

em: building up some Themes and Motifs

obsetress: themes motifs and symbols

obsetress: anyway viola packing isabels lunches she writes little notes and puts on lipstick n kisses them

obsetress: so isabel can get a kiss from her mom

em: im going to kill u w my bare hands

obsetress: cut to vi in the bathroom wiping it off later à la jennifer check

em: im GONNA

obsetress: sometimes when vi has to go out of town for business or w/e she leaves a stack of napkins with arthur to put in isabel's lunch so she can still get a kiss from her mom even when she's gone

em: thats so extra??

em: its so viola

obsetress: exactly

obsetress: she definitely has a fear of isabel favoring arthur over her (abandonment issues etc etc)

obsetress: gestures at canon

—-

obsetress: leave the typo

obsetress: dont you dare change it

obsetress: dani's like "well, just the one, but"

obsetress: "you really can't blame me, jamie, you KNOW" jamie: (grumbles)its different... dani: well i mean i guess, technically, you didnt,

obsetress: unrelated in some bad fight at the end vi is like "you can't go isabel needs a–– you're like her–––" and dani's like "a what? say it" and viola's too stubborn and proud and hurt to say it

em: just perpetually bouncing back to the worlds angstiest break up

obsetress: i don't know WHY

obsetress: as someone who HATES ANGST

obsetress: i am so DRAWN to these two

em: its ummmm weirdly cathartic??

em: the whole exes au is based on a joke about them being friends and exes. we are v firm in like. viola and dani reconcile!

em: idk i love a catharsis moment! i love it when a character claws their way to happiness. or even begrudgingly goes to therapy

em: viola can go through a little hell as a treat

obsetress: turns out the only one who could fix her in the end

obsetress: was the one who said it's not my job to fix you

em: dani transformative power of (platonic) love

obsetress: "Platonic"

quest of the spear live rewatch!

i already spewed my pre call to adventure flynn thoughts all over a text post but I would like to repeat: pre-canon flynn my beloved <3

yes he is a bit of a bastard but he just loves his books and he’s so genuinely just like. passionate and like…. Big? does that make sense? like i mean inside. not literally. bright

flynn’s mom is so fucking funny

and she’s Trying Her Best

you know one thing I don’t understand, I assume that flynn could afford to keep going to college because of like grants and scholarships since he’s all smart and like, even if his mom is well off, no one below the morally bankrupt millionaire line can pay for 22 degrees and not die of no-money-itis otherwise known as Starving

but like. why not become a professor or some other academia position?

you’d be incredibly overqualified and you’re a white dude, so while academia isn’t exactly bursting with new spaces to fill I’m sure you could find something???? and like. a professor in particular, while baby flynn might not be great at the connection part, seems like a natural progression to at least try for considering it keeps you in that comfort zone and familiar space just in a different albeit familiar role, and allows you to go on long lectures people can’t interrupt. and like, professors literally like, part of their job is research and to continue learning, so like. it seems like the natural choice for him to go for?

don’t get me wrong, baby flynn in particular might not be extremely well suited considering his lack of people skills, but plenty of professors are brilliant slightly odd smarties who give long, super engaging theatrical lectures (sounds like him!) but suck at one on one meetings and talking to people or may be accidentally insulting, but like, their class is genuinely interesting and they grade decently so like, I think he could get past that hurdle is what I’m saying

obviously he’d have to work at it and get the skills necessary but you know what that means? MORE SCHOOL, BABY! just in a different direction! like just? it seems like the obvious choice for his situation

ah yes!!! magic letter!!! it’s kind of funny they do this, it’s a great hook and way to make applicants go Uh Excuse Me and want to know more but also like, there’s no proof magic happened either?

although you’d think some people would get obsessive like let me tell you if i encountered real ass magic like that i wouldn’t stop until i had an answer

ah the Incredibly Long Interview Line. it’s kinda how funny how like. Not Special he is but at the same time he is?

“never been treated so badly in my entire life!” what did you say to him charlene

i’m sure he deserved it i just want to know

wait oh no i just realized

all these people are dead

every single one of them got murdered in the first episode of the series

jesus that’s dark

not gonna be able to stop thinking about that one huh

also love how it’s pretty evenly men and women

although it’s still mostly white

fuck that lady just left crying I know they’re doing this to turn up the drama but DAMN, charlene

god he almost gave up. remember the timeline episode where he never became the librarian? weird.

Gkjlfkgjhfglh Where Do You Think You’re Going? (weak gesture like “me?”) Yes You. Get In Here amazing how can she even see him she’s around the CORNER. camera? magical surveillance? why? just to freak people out? amazing.

i do so love charlene, it’s a shame she wasn’t in the show more

also she literally never explains shit. What Makes You Think You Can Be The Librarian he doesn’t even know what that means, charlene

He Doesn’t Even Have A Library Science Degree

oh wow he does actually have librarian qualifications lmao

why did i not remember that

DLKFGJDFG I did remember him sherlocking her tho

wait her MARRIAGE? to WHO?

i thought her and judson were a thing despite jenkins being into her or something?

huh

also why does this qualify him to be The Librarian™ like oh he can sherlock? ok?

maybe it’s just bc he had the balls to do it

well, the sherlock thing is also not completely unhelpful it just doesn’t seem central to his skills, or at least, not the way he uses it (do we see him use it like this again? he usually applies more obscure knowledge then ye classic deduction sherlockian skills if I remember correctly which I may not because my brain is smooth)

judson is such a fucking drama queen

LKDJFGLKDJFGLDKFJG I FUCKING FORGOT HE LITERALLY JUST FUCKING REPEATED HIS MOM’S LITTLE PHRASE AMAZING

also why did he seem to think her sending everyone home meant he didn’t get it why would she stop all interviews because you fucked up

he just fucking walked out of a wall judson you are so dramatic

also warehouse 13 vibes huh. welcome to a world of endless wonder

I could do a whole fucking thesis on warehouse 13 and the librarians or—well that’s a whole other tangent

anYWYA

this interview was remarkably easy tho, it’s not like he wasn’t impressive but it wasn’t mindblowing either????? this coming from a big fan of flynn

the big shiny wonderous eyes as the library lights up……flynn my beloved

also his floofy hair ldkfgjdlkfgj

he’s like this is too good am I being prank’d

why the mona lisa?????iIs the mona lisa magic??? It only became famous because it got stolen why would it be magic??? Is this one of those we make it magic by believing it or some shit things???

Flynn Do Not Open The Random Box In The Library Of Incredibly Dangerous Artifacts

oh hello excalibur !!

oh rip flynn immediately being like “oh im not worthy, trust me” with 100 percent certainty im hurt oof

KSJFLGKDJGLKDJG THE APPLE “the apple from the garden of eden…….” *judson takes a bite* “actually I just left this here”

excalibur hello properly!!!!

judson is such a fucking DRAMA QUEEN he’s so casual!! and cal you too you slippery bitch!

ah the jetpack.

DLFKGJDLKFGJ “it usually takes a new librarian four hours to find the jetpack. you did it in three! congratulations” love the implication that every librarian (at least since it was added to the library) has done this no matter how serious like the bad guy of this movie… *checks notes* edware wilde? jetpack. darrington dare, probably? jetpack. i like to think jenkins did it too (not technically a librarian, but you know)

flynn thinking of himself as embarrassing… ☹

HIS MOM IS SO PROUD OF HIM

part sweet, part funny, part rip

I don’t know what she was expecting when he said librarian tho like. originally he literally looked at shit for FRY COOk degrees don’t always mean shit you know

and librarian is up there with professor in Perfect Jobs For Flynn like what did you expect??? Like even if he’d become an archaeologist (a “cool” job) it’s not like that pays super well either as far as I know??

he was never going to be Traditionally Successful

he’s still the same person he still has the same strengths and passions of course he would go into academia and do something like librarian like????? her reaction saddens me.

just be happy for him!! look at him!!!

ok first of all even normal non magic librarians don’t just put books on shelves and that’s a condescending reduction of the job, and second of all, he is so happy!! he has a job, he’s taking responsibility, he’s meeting people, isn’t that enough??? isn’t that literally what you wanted??? even if it WERE what you think it is why couldn’t it just be a good first step??? like??? fuck??? you did been know that he was doing all those fancy degrees because he loved them not because they’d get him some super fancy job??? I mean egyptology is not the most profitable field you know this isn’t med school or whatever

god.

flynn’s mom, visibly not proud and very upset: of course im proud of you!

ok im being a little unfair, she’s trying and clearly she’s been supportive of him, if not straight up enabling of him, but like this is clearly being presented as like. normal person who is normal forced to take care of freakish strange son who is so nerdy and strange and a loser and she is so tired of his shenanigans and all that WORK she put in and he’s NOT FANCY AND CHANGING TO CONFORM TO HER IDEALS OF A GOOD SUCCESSFUL SON/MAN?

and that’s just all very. sigh.

the snake brotherhood are such obnoxiously cheesy villainous villains they’re even called the snake brotherhood

also I think we’re supposed to recognize him as the previous librarian from the painting but if I didn’t already know that I for sure would not know that

smartass flynn is a smartass

I never got people bringing someone coffee to impress them unless they knew their order like there’s no way you know who she likes her coffee so you could so easily get it wrong—like even if you don’t know exactly how much sugar she wants, you could also just get it entirely wrong like assume she likes black coffee but she likes it super sweet, or vice versa, or whatever. it can go wrong so easily!

or she could go “I Hate A Kiss Ass”

she did take it anyway tho so.

ah i did forget (or just not actively think about) how much like… christian mythology there is in this show :/ I mean we did been knew (excalibur and arthurian legend are pretty important to the mythology)

not that christian mythology is inherently bad it just gets a) annoying, b) boring, and c) y’know, very western centric and all

but then trying to reconcile di—you know what that’s a tangent for another time

then again I do assume no one is going to read this

the library really does just throw new librarians into death and go “hope this is fine!” huh

did they just imply god is canon in the “the librarian” universe

you were so cryptic with the no one thing!! just say NOONE

he’s scribbling in his notebook and mumbling out loud what a mood and I love him. what a nerd

ldfkgjdlkjg god sexy jazz music and a breeze this is so dumb

I do hate the forced love interests in all these movies it’s always like Some Hot Girl Is There And They Get It On!

like he really had chemistry with eve and banter but here it kinda feels like that wish fulfilment and then the nerd gets the hot chick the end and im saying that as the nerd

it doesn’t help that each movie has a different one who immediately is dropped as if she never existed afterwards

maybe it’s not as bad as I remember but. sigh

my instant impression of her is to not like her sorry nicole :/

she’s just so rude? she’s like. hot (derogatory)

i get there’s gender politics here with like. she’s used to being treated like a piece of meat and generally like, why not reap the benefits when you are going to get the creeps too, but like, also she’s just so unnecessarily rude—I mean rejecting his clumsy flirting is one thing but you know—ok I won’t even get into that the point is I just don’t really like her that much even tho I don’t think she’s necessarily a bad person or anything you know

but to be fair I think she got better and I remember her being compelling in her return to the show

and like. I do like how the trend in this franchise is “smart little nerd librarian and badass lady guardian kicks ass” but I do wish that it turned around occasionally. we do get cassandra but like. more lady librarians

wow an air marshal? aren’t they rarely even on flights?

sorry im being nitpicky there for sure lmao. please delete the cinamasins ding my words probably summoned from your brain

I get why shoving him out was necessary but also Wow

Gjklhkjfgh imagine sitting next to some mumbling nerd the whole flight and then you see him fly past the windows

LFKGJDLKJDFG he brilliantly lowers our expectations then jumps without a chute! remarkable!

hilarious or commentary on men getting credit for womens’ competency? why not both

i really thought that she was going to be a lying liar the first time I watched this

ah naïve boy. “uh that’s against the law”

flynn’s greatest strength isn’t just his knowledge but his like. breadth of different topics, just like, passion for learning of any time, and like. the ability to not just know a lot of different things but cross-reference and apply them to each other and use them in tandem to understand a greater whole

and we love that for him!

ah flynn therapizing himself lmao

why would she take him going “this bridge is rotting and physically cant support our weight” as a challenge

or him being cowardly like THE STRUCTURAL SUPPORTS ARE ROTTING

YEAH WHAT DID YOU EXPECT OF COURSE HE FUCKING FELL

ok i lied i like nicole i just don’t love their dynamic

i get what they’re going for i just. not my thing

like with eve there was still a clear mutual respect? i guess? idk

maybe it’s just because i’m more sensitive to mean banter? i don’t like mean banter, even when it’s like, def 100 percent well meaning and not mean spirited and no one is actually offended or hurt

although despite not liking their Thing I do a) think it’s very cute how he looks at her, b) their vibe as they start to get to know each other is Better, c) the end of the movie scene where she rides in for maximum drama? now that was good shit.

oh he’s sherlocking her in a shy attempt to impress her but it’s only going to piss her off, right?

oh she’s just sherlocking him back

KSGFJLDKFGJ LMAO “nerd” and that’s it. fair

Cutting Off His Head damn that’s hardcore

hmmmm cringe,

and more cringe

and cringe.

her waking up to him gone right after telling that story about waking up to her librarian gone and then killed—oof

love the serpent brotherhood lady being like wow!! he’s SO COMPETENT!! (cuts to him screaming)

do these ancient traps just have infinite arrows?

also I do love the whole waltzing across trope what can I say im a sucker

DFLKGLDKFGJLDKJG fucking CHUCKS SOMETHING AT IT and immediately where he would be standing is crushed by a huge rock amazing

he literally just chucked a rock at it and it fell over

ah the classic “let the hero get it for us” move

oh there he is! rip

why does he look like macpherson

not really but kind of

also contrast between the lady always being like “omg the librarian is so smart” and him assuming nicole is the one who did the smart thing

“your tears were perfect” how much more of an asshole can you get

They really could have played him as more sympathetic—“oh, we’re always around these powerful artifacts but we never use them for good! I had to do it, I was sick of sitting back and doing nothing” or like “all those years of danger and guarding powerful things and what good did it ever do me? what do I get for my service?” or anything but nah hes just like “mm power good babes. anyway I love sex and being mean”

to be fair flynn he was the librarian too—a real librarian? I mean yeah edward was corrupted and ultimately failed his duties but he had to have been qualified and actually got the job for a reason

flynn I know you think you sound badass but you really don’t

god not shangri-la again. everything the show did with that was. Bad. yikes

why is—god, I should really learn her name [checks notes] lana fangirling so much?

also following the lamia tradition of “serpent brotherhood second in command who is more interesting than the main evil white guy and also a pretty woc” huh

never got like “this is literally impossible” “well do it or I [generic bad guy threat]” like usually that means nothing lmao

LDFKGJLDKFJLDKFGJ ok first of all god is me? bitch?

second of all. me in english? on this fucking ancient very much not english thing? I mean I guess a) it might not be literal, even though he did say “m, e” by letters, b) it is a christian myth so maybe planted later??? but like?????

dude. giving the super powerful artifact to your prisoner? bad idea. if you’re worried about booby traps have a minion do it.

oh yes your gun is so scary in the face of a temple collapsing

why do heroes always think the whatever is safer with them than the temple that’s guarded it for a thousand years

I get it’s been discovered but like. fuck. still

You Are Going To Crash This Helicopter

SLKGJ HORRIBLE HIGH VELOCITY PIE OF DEATH

flynn and judson…..wholesome

oh here comes more forced romance

just let them be friends who grow to mutually respect each other blease

it is very fucking funny that the mom is like ….. oh my god…. oh my god,,, a WOMAN AJUST ANSEWREDM Y SDONGS PHONE?????????OH MY GOFD?????

he is bisexual. but it’s good he’s getting out

ah floofy hair

cahooting,

Yes You Do Need Clothes

that’s a teleporter sir

god eddie wild is such a boring fucking villain and person

and his plan SUCKS

also the serpent brotherhood (why BROTHERhood?) sucks and hates the library why would they just let this guy, a librarian, literally be their new leader

wow he just stabbed a guy on his OWN TEAM for no reason

great going asshole

love how lana is just like…. O-O

we stan lana. she hasn’t done much and she’s technically a bad guy i just love her

“at last we can be one” what does that even mean

why would lana or any of them want to help him he just killed one of their own for no reason hes clearly tripping on power and leaving yall to die

lfkgjdlkfgj flynn dodging so hard while the others is fight and then PUNCHING A GUY

dfglkjdflgkj wait it’s the professor dude why is that so funny

is he WITH THEM??? I think I just missed something

hold on a sec

yeah I think he just appears??? And flynn just fucking broke his nose iconic

wait so was he with them or is he just here going WHY ARE THERE RANDOM PEOPLE IN MY PYRAMID????????????

oh right he built the—ok I got it

Wait what

I mean I did think lana was neat and she seemed impressed with flynn but what shes just like, in love with him now? that makes zero fucking sense why would she want them to Be Together

Is it just so there can be a catfight between the two hot chicks?

seriously tho? morally pure blonde blue eyed girl versus Evil Asian Chick? really?

for the record NOT THAT IT MATTERS but lana is way cuter im just saying

ah badass judson

THE COMEDY OF THE CAPSTONE CRUSHING HIM DLFKGJDLKFGJ

oh………….pulling out excalibur…. predicable but so good

oh the painting….the very Parenty way of revealing it…… wholesome

oh did NOT like that transition

oh here comes the badass fucking entrance with his gf busting in on his mom trying to set him up with girls

HER ENTRANCE IS SO UNNECESSARAILY DRAMATIC I LOVE THEM

I just love the mom’s face ldfkgjldfkgjdlkfgjdlkfjgd shes like WHAT THEGUFVCJK

again I don’t love the vibes of “oh my weird loser son is finally normal!” but to be fair im exaggerating a bit from just facial expressions it’s just. sigh

but ngl the vindication of him being able to be like. yeah that’s right im a badass now and my gf is cool as fuck is still good

him and nicole do have not terrible vibes at the end but if I remember correctly that mission (time travelling ninjas and hg wells’s time machine) is the one that separated them so rip I guess

overall: good movie! as cringe as I remember but I still love flynn so much

#flynn carsen #the librarian: quest for the spear #going to bed now. perhaps the others tomorrow

But you can still ask them stuff, itll just be set before death.

When asking characters questions, rememeber to include the name, their age if theres diffrent ages, i dont mind repeated questions, but if you see the question try not to ask it again lol. If you cant find it with a quick scroll just ask it, although i dont know if this blog will even get that big.

Any Son and/or Briefs family headcanons? Spicy hot takes? Truths Toriyama and Toyotaro themselves can not handle? Straight up lies?

GODDAMN SORRY this took a while cause i suck at putting thoughts together. i apologize for my obvious briefs bias i have more hcs for them than the son family despite loving them both :pensive: anyway heres some random stuff

briefs hcs:

all of the briefs are pros at non-verbal communication. i hc that saiyans have their own language (and also in my own Mind Canon they still have their fuckin tails) and a lot of it is done through tail movement/body posture/grunts/etc. etc so theyve all sort of picked that up. even bulma, who doesnt have a tail, is pretty good at getting across what she means without actually speaking. they still do speak normally but it comes in handy sometimes considering that both trunks and vegeta are prone to running out of speaking energy or getting very frustrated with words, so having another way to communicate works very well for them

vegeta is fffffffffffffffffffurry. without getting too deep into my own General Saiyan hcs (thats why i made a whole ass four subspecies!!) i think that the entirety of planet vegeta tended to be very hot aside from the part where the castle was, where the temperature would drop. meaning that saiyans working in the palace would grow thicker fur around certain parts of their body, and in the royal saiyans theyd be Especially fluffy. he kept it down on earth, but he has thick patches of fur around the bottom parts of his arms and legs. kind of like snowy boots and gloves! he also has fur that grows in on his neck like a lions mane.

future trunks is an actions sponge, vegeta is a words sponge. vegeta will pick up words VERY quickly regardless if he fully understands the meaning of it or not (completely inspired by 'THATS RIGHT BOYS... MONDO COOL' in z) and future trunks will unintentionally mimic the actions of people - around people he looks up to he might take a few small mannerisms from but this extends to copying the disposition of anyone; he's just very adaptive. this is the most obvious (and funniest) when he's around vegeta bc it really shows like. yeah damn that sure is vegeta's son

vegeta & bulla have an intimidating bastard smirk naturally. their natural smiles are pretty frightening and they have to put effort into a 'normal' one. this also extends to current trunks, his default smile is the Vegeta Bastard Smirk but he learned to have a normal smile quicker than his father and sister. future trunks has a slightly unnerving natural smile (the fact that his pupils are always drawn so fucking small makes me hc that he just has a very intimidating look of 'cat thats about to pounce on an unfortunate trapped mouse' whenever he smiles) but he learned to look normal even quicker than current trunks since he's around humans a Lot and is sort of their uh, Hope. don't want to look scary to the people who depend on you!

bulma has some fighting knowledge and mildly good ki control. vegeta taught her it as a just in case so that she'd be able to defend herself against Bigger threats if he wasn't there and also so she could raise her own ki to alert someone to her if she had to.

vegeta is extremely clean and can not stand to have things disorganized for more than like... an hour before he has to tidy everything up. every time he goes down to the lab and bulma is passed out in a pile of bolts and circuit boards it kills him inside just a little bit

future trunks has little concept of power control. since his timeline was always in danger it wasn't really an important thing for him to learn. the amount of mugs he's accidentally crushed is impressive

vegeta tends to not sound like he's asking questions when he is. he doesn't add the proper infliction to the end of his questions and just sounds flat most of the time. it's confusing to people who dont know him well.

im not even gonna lie, im a BIG fan of the chill demon panchy headcanon so i love the idea that the briefs have a Lil bit of demon in them but just dont know it ghjnkm

[banging my fists on the 'hcs that not even got could take away from me' table] future trunks has OCD

vegeta doesn't really get labels but he's bisexual & "debatably a man", bulma is bisexal & bigender transfem (sometimes shes Wamen and other times its like "gender? no"), bulla is a nonbinary lesbian, current trunks is a bisexual trans man & future bulma forgot to explain the concept of gender and sexuality to future trunks so he's a little confused on that front and his gender & sexuality are "i have literally never thought abt these concepts in my life but i think men are nice. i refuse to think about gender though" (i actually have two main hcs for future trunks which are either gay trans man or more-feminine-presenting nonbinary bisexual)

son hcs:

goku is Not as fluffy as vegeta at all, but he does have fur on certain parts of his body. namely on the back of his elbows + ankles, down his back connecting to his tail, and on his shoulders. its inherented from gine!

gohan is learning saiyan language from vegeta! vegeta acts grumpy about it but he's glad to have someone to teach. when gohan learned that most of the history had been lost he basically wished shenron for a big ol book on saiyan culture and gave it to vegeta just as an act of kindness and vegeta was like [in an angry voice but very touched] "Ok. Sit down. You're learning." by extension gohan is also teaching the rest of his family!

i will take ox king being actually non-human to my grave so like, chichi has horns and a very short ox tail! gohan and goten both have horns, but they're hidden by hair. goten's horns are bigger than gohans.

goten also has a more ox-like tail, with a little puff of fur at the end. generally, gohan looks more saiyan-like and goten looks more ox/human-like.

although he keeps up his cheery demeanor very well, goku is still haunted pretty badly by like... everything that’s happened in his life. he still has frequent nightmares about cell & buu specifically.

gohan will freak out at worse, zone out at best, if he's even tapped on the neck. it reminds him of the whole 'getting his neck snapped on namek' so that area is pretty off limits to everyone

goten gets along really well with android 17. they both have a love for nature and 17s kind of like his chill uncle, so whenever he gets too stressed out or just needs a break you can find him face down on the ground outside of 17's place on monster island.

goku is really really good at remembering completely random shit. bulma uses this to her advantage whenever she's working and has him memorize random technology stuff. a week later goku can not remember what he had for breakfast that morning but as soon as bulma asks "hey do you remember what i told you last week" hes like "oh yeah sure i have no idea what it means but [blurts out three hours worth of technical garble]"

oh boy is this a headcanon that has a lot more depth to it than just a bullet on a tumblr post, but gohan has DID!

goku, like vegeta, doesnt get labels either, and does not even Try, ask him about any of it and hes like "i dont get the gender thing but i think lots of people look nice :)" gohan is gay and like vegeta, "debatably a man", goten + chichi are both bi nonbinary, & pan is a lesbian trans woman.

both:

bulla and pan are both into music! i think theyd mess around making their own stuff w/ launchpads

i have a general hc of ki mixing or shielding, essentially, if youre close enough to someone people wont be able to tell apart your ki and you can also 'shield' someone with your ki for a small amount of time. if vegeta has his energy low, his and bulma's energy are the same. same thing with goku and chichi! goten and trunks are near impossible to tell apart, and same thing with gohan and videl.

though goten and trunks are both protective over their younger siblings, gotenks is that protectiveness times a thousand. look at bulla or pan wrong for 2 seconds and you're going to have an angry gotenks in your face asking if you have any last words. i like to think that trunks and goten fused casually a lot, especially around the time where bulla and pan were young, so its basically goten and trunks own attachment to them PLUS gotenks' attachment to them as his own person combined.

i like to pretend end of z did not happen the way it did so uub, using nimbus, travels back and forth a lot. goku isn’t the only one who teaches him how to fight as goten, gohan and trunks all think of him like a little brother and love training with him!

fuck you letters to toriyama/toyotaro hot takes:

cell, as cool of a villian as he is, definitely should have had a creepier final form. or multiple- just something that really drives in the fact that he's made up of other's dna & fuckin ABSORBS people. also his first two forms should have had a different absorbtion method other than the tail thing (not the drinking thing thats fine) it just feels. Weird. not good

it would have been far more interesting to keep the bitter attitude towards vegeta that future trunks had imo... in super trunks was going through a Lot granted but the fact tht he wasnt more confrontational to vegeta being a dick to him seemed kind of off considering his attitude in z i just.. think it would be interesting and far better if they had more of a back and forth 'family but lowkey hate each other' relationship

i dont want to rant about super so heres some super condensed takes, goku black arc specific because thats 90% of what ive seen of super:

mai is a fucking freak ass weirdo, why did they not just make another character to pair with trunks

trunks not flipping the fuck out at his timeline being erased feels... out of character. also trunks deserved the win against zamasu

future bulma did NOT need to die

trunks should have just stayed in the current timeline

please fucking let trunks and goten grow up. we SAW a version of trunks who looked 14 (history of trunks....) and the versions of goten & trunks we have r/n in super do not look 13/14 respectively what in the goddamn hell is going on in the character design department

super definitely should have taken place later down the line

supers version of bulma and videl look awful. why are they That stick like.

vegeta needs to kill frieza. just once.

fu has enough potential to be a very interesting mainline character and i am so sad he's not

i would actively enjoy a sdbh anime with more budget that isnt just a promo anime and has a plot that makes sense... i think db should have more wild spinoffs

xenoverse deserved a better story that went FULL in on the 'what if' type of timelines- like they did in raging blast which is a FUCKING GREAT GAME

straight up lies:

dragon ball z is a good series

#yes db is my hyperfix. that doesnt mean its good <3 but its mine now and i make whatever i want canon #long post #fleetinginterest

If Flash and Timber was an element of Harmony, what would they be?

I WAS WONDERING WHEN SOMEONE WOULD ASK ME ABT THIS

i'm actually not sure if you mean which of the CANON elements of harmony they'd be or if i were to make up elements that fit the idea of friendship so i did both!! this post is very long i apologise

FLASH SENTRY

okay so way WAY back in 2016 there was this old official eqg website i used to check all the time just in case there was an update (mainly abt flash) and the one thing i noticed was that his "element" (like the mane 7 & the elements of harmony) was chivalry.

the section isn't on there anymore now that i've checked the current version of the website (damn it's been HOW long)

and honestly, at first glance it makes sense. he's a royal guard in equestria so like. yeah. but if you actually search up the meaning of chivalry, you'd get smth like this

and to be honest, this is probably one of flash's most admirable traits. from the way he's been portrayed in the show, this literally fits him.

of course. not everyone is perfect and personally i don't think he can be like that all the time! the trait i'm specifically talking abt is the enemy one. everything else is literally him through and through. i don't doubt he's been raised really well.

i can elaborate on the enemy one if you want !!! i was gonna start talking abt that but it got rlly long so lmk!!

but yeah, that's the element that's technically canon! but in friendship, i guess it's a little hard to see exactly how it could work?? maybe it's like seeing the good in everyone, probably.

because in THAT sense, you can say that seeing the good in everyone TOO MUCH is actually an issue. just like how too much kindness means becoming a dormat, being too honest is being blunt, too much generosity is too giving, too much laughter is unnecessary, being too loyal could turn into being blindly loyal, too much empathy can lead to being overwhelmed, and we all know what too much magic can cause.

in the sense of the 6 (technically 7) elements, flash would either be loyalty or kindness imo. they both fit closest to chivalry and fit him as a character!!

TIMBER SPRUCE

okay so this lil baby was a hard one. but i remember when i was younger and just starting to like him more, i had his element as trust. i also had him as patience for a bit but in the sense of the elements of harmony, trust fits better. lemme explain

so, i think one thing about timber we can get is that he was pretty much a sheltered kid. so he didn't really have to deal with a lot of mistrust from other kids at school bc he never went to public school (ofc some stuff might've happened at least a few times but not as much as it would happen at an actual school, right?)

timber's personality is pretty upbeat, goofy, cheeky, a little full of himself. and in a way, it may come off as exaggerated. but he does this to make sure the people around him can feel comfortable and not intimidated by him. it's easy to be unintentionally intimidating and i feel like timber knows that, so he tries his best not to be.

i think his personality really helps in cases of anxiety, especially as someone who is around campers who may experience anxiety. there is a little comic i remember of Bevin Brand drawing of timbertwi when twilight had a speech and she was on the edge of anxiety, and honestly it's so so cute.

timber is a kind of person who wants you to know that you can trust him. he won't force you if you don't want to but he will do whatever he can to make you as comfy as possible. this is shown in LoE too when sci twi was obviously dealing with something and timber didn't push her into telling him, he just tried his best to distract her

a key thing is that trust is earned! it's not automatically given. but i think for timber, he brings that aura of trust that makes you feel safe that you aren't going to regret trusting him, you know?

trusting too much is naive. in some way, especially with timber being sheltered like i said, i highly doubt timber doesn't have any sense of naivety in him. so i think if he were to earn this element, he'd have to realise his naive tendencies and try to make a change in other people's lives where it's not naive trust someone. does that make sense 😭

so yeah!! and based on the actual elements of harmony, he's either laughter or honesty!

—

damn okay so i uh hoped that answered your question!! there are some inconsistencies but i wrote this at frickin 12am cut me some slack 😭 i fucking rambled a shit lot but i hope it was enjoyable :D

this is a post where i am talking to myself about satsuverse and characters’ life directions because apparently my brain is caught on figuring this out before i can go back to Actually Writing

itachi - either finally growing a spine or entering his teenage rebellion phase, depending on who you talk to - acquires a discharge from anbu, abdicates from his position as clan heir, and signs up for medic classes at the hospital. he has known death since he was a child; he has walked alongside it, delivered countless people to its hand. it is imperative to his mental health that he learn how to save as well as kill.

sasuke is a second son and shows it. there is not a moment in anyone’s mind where they consider that he become clan heir after itachi. sasuke is a rambunctious child and loves chasing after people and whacking them with sticks, and this seamlessly levels up into an adoration for swords. he chases down his tokubetsu jounin uncle ryouji for kenjutsu lessons. his dream is to become anbu commander, because what traumatises one brother will be heaven to the other, right,

satsuki takes up the mantle of clan heir after itachi abdicates. they love their clan - are proud of their clan, which sometimes is another thing altogether - and, although the level of responsibility is new, they have always prioritised their clan. there is no division of loyalty.

the focus of their skills are genjutsu, poison, and fuuinjutsu. as one of shisui’s students, they’re Very Good at shunshin; combine that with their reverse-engineered hiraishin, and they are So Fucking Fast y’all

since outguard head is concerned with all things external--external threats, missions, border security (though in a post-konoha landscape, what does ‘border’ mean? the border of clan lands? the border of the village?)--and satsuki is uh. (looks at hiruzen who is ousted from his seat when the rookie nine are 8. looks at danzo who is dead before the rookie nine are 12. looks at obito whose path to supervillainy is cut off partway through the power of friendship and also destruction of his compulsion seal.) Pretty Good At Dealing With External Threats, I Think. they can probably be outguard head? and remain seen as clan head to outsiders?

(in satsuverse, mikoto is the one who’s of the main line - she’s homeguard head. fugaku, when he married her, took over as outguard head. to outsiders i imagine that that looked like ‘woman heir gets married for legitimacy while her husband takes over the actual position to rule’)

the konoha military police force ... does technically fulfill the ‘border security’ part of outguard head if the ‘border’ is taken as the border of the village ... but can i really write satsuki as a cop..................

like. yes. satsuki would genuinely like to keep their village and clan safe. they do, genuinely, want to ensure that the acts of danzo and orochimaru cannot happen again, that the village will not knowingly allow traitors and child-snatchers and child-experimenters to roam free and grow.

but uh. maybe intelligence would be better suited for their personality rather than kmpf.

“who would be satsuki’s homeguard head, if they’re the outguard head?” you know that’s a great question and one i don’t know the answer to. shisui, in becoming the rookie nine gen’s babysitter and training kiddies and also being the best friend of clan heir 1 and clan heir 2 and sincerely wanting to help them figure out how to make this clan work, would actually be good homeguard head material, i think? if only i could marry him... (gazes wistfully into the distance)

(shisui is eight years older than satsuki and also, again, Literally Their Babysitter and later their jounin-sensei, so although i love him very much and satsuki also canonly loves him and considers him their Person, Him Ever Having Feelings For Satsuki Would Be Weird.

why did i do this to myself.

oh right it’s because i can’t go five minutes without interacting with shisui, even to my detriment.)

if i think about tobirama, who also fulfills the function of a homeguard head by actually running the clan while hashirama is the face of it, then. uh. naras come to mind. and satsuki’s teammate nara seika 1) is not main-line nara, which means that he can be married out without succession issues, technically, and 2) would not actually mind marrying satsuki no matter what form that relationship would take, so... he might be a possibility?

kagura (maternal cousin - mikoto’s sister’s oldest child) might be a contender but i need to flesh her out more before i can think about her qualifications more in-depth

i will. think on this issue later. because it has no actual bearing on what i’m writing about now.

uh.

other life directions.

sakura is going to be a front-line medic like in canon. she can hit you so hard you want to die and then she’ll heal you so that she can do it again.

hinata as a medic suits her personality... she doesn’t want to hurt anyone and although that’s a detriment for a shinobi, it doesn’t have to stifle her options completely. i know that she Can fight and that it’s like character growth or whatever for her to become confident enough to strike her opponents ruthlessly, but, also, like. man. man it fucking sucks that That’s what’s desirable

naruto learns fuuinjutsu because He Deserves This, Dammit. i do also want to like... expand on the skills he actively cultivates in canon (trapping, transformations) bc these are things that he enjoys and they’re Useful. little foxy trickster

shikamaru is the logistics guy. lazy, doesn’t want responsibility, but he’s responsible enough to get off his ass anyway to get shit done. he’s so going to become naruto’s advisor when naruto’s hokage and he’s going to stress about it but he’d be MORE stressed if he wasn’t there

ino is Obviously going to follow inoichi into intelligence. also i think she’d be good with poisons, with a preexisting foundation in botany. i can see her doing a stint in anbu, taking on seduction missions - of all the kids i think she’s the only one suited for that particular type of mission

(looks at the rest of the kids) the fuck am i going to do with all of you

i ran out of steam obviously but. mmrrrrghhh.

🍇🌈🍎 and 💚 for the self ship asks!!!

🍇 - How did you get introduced to your f/o?

ok so lol idk if i’ve ever said it here before but like.....i got bw2 when it released. like very day i got it. i played most of it. i never finished it fsr and i also forgot literally everything that happened up to the point where i dropped it. that’s never happened to me before with a pokemon game but anyway....i was playing moon and that whole cutscene happened where he just comes out of nowhere and that’s when i went fucking bonkers lmao. i was just so infatuated during the whole thing i wasn’t even paying attention to most of what he said. then i forgot him. then months later i suddenly remembered him and looked him up and i was like ooh i still think he’s really cute. and it just got worse from there. then i decided to find where my copy of BW2 ended up. now it’s my favorite game lolzzzzz

🌈 - Do you have any LGBT+ headcanons about your f/o and/or s/i? If so, what are they?

uh yeah i DO actually he is trans and gay and so is my sona bc is Me. i don’t have a lot of specifics in regards to shit like, “oh is he post/pre op? when did he start hrt?” bc i don’t care tbh :/ it’s not a big concern to me.

🍎 - What are some headcanons for your s/i?

my sona? you want lore? you want information on my sona? huh????

so my sona belonged to a group of hex maniacs who were the first people he came out to. while they were supportive he couldn’t really stay as a part of the group since he was a guy. he started his journey after coming out to his family where it went over badly. it was something he did on impulse bc he got so pissed off over his whole situation or being rejected, having to leave the hex group, confusing feelings, and just feeling restricted in general.

he only really leaves a region if he feels like he’s gotten too comfortable with the one he’s in currently or if he feels like there isn’t much left for him there for the time being. he usually crashes in pokemon centers bc he’s kind of a baby about sleeping outdoors. if he feels like treating himself he’ll get a hotel room though. he usually tries to be cheap but loves spending on fashion and good snacks. speaking of snacks he has a fridge rotom that he keeps juice boxes and things inside both for himself and anyone he shares with. it isn’t technically part of his main team, and really you’re only supposed to have 6 pokemon on you total, but he cheats and carries 7.....if you don’t tell he’ll give you something good.....promise......

while in unova he attended a clown school which he never graduated from bc he tried to juggle pins and ended up sending both himself and another clown to the hospital. he still performs under his clown alias at times but not for anything official or for big events since he could get into legal trouble if caught by a licensed clown. also this was the only official schooling he personally attended, though he loves learning new things he just finds educational settings overwhelming.

he knows of the various regional evil teams he always seems to miss on any events caused by them. he was probably asleep or something while anything major happened. usually he only finds out by the news or overhearing conversations.

eventually he does make a permanent home in ballonlea. at that point most of his traveling is exclusive to galar but he does make trips out to see colress wherever he may be. colress does the same for him too :)

ummm that’s all i have for now...thank u....

💚 - When is your f/o's birthday? If it's never been stated canonically, what's your headcanon for it?

i’ve never really thought about it.......birthdays don’t feel like something i can just come up with.........i’d have to give it a lot of thought i think........

2018 fic writing roundup

tagged by @catty-words !! thank u darling

i have this lingering suspicion that the 92k mess that is imperfections has a tendency of bumping up my word count, but also i’ve been writing particularly A Lot this year. so. yikes. this’ll be a mess

Total 2018 Word Count: 465,233 (so uh. yikes squared?) Total 2018 Hits: 16,798 Other 2018 AO3 Stats: Kudos: 1,592; Comment threads: 457; Bookmarks: 186; Subscriptions: 121.

Total 2017 Word Count: 171,640 Total 2017 Hits: 9,156 Other 2017 AO3 Stats: Kudos: 841; Comment threads: 172; Bookmarks: 126; Subscriptions: 40.

Links and Titles to 2018 Works (buckle up kids)

ten questions for new year’s eve (6,669 words) lonely s4 giles meets jenny on new year’s eve. basically fluff laced with some light angst, which i think set the tone for most of my writing this year

forever (4,738 words) some assorted femslash ficlets from tumblr that i immediately forgot about after february. it of course got buried under a deluge of jenny fic but there’s still some cute stuff there! i had a lot of fun in particular writing about bb willow and the beginnings of her attraction to girls

she’s your destiny (9,560 words) AHHHHHH I FORGOT I WROTE THIS. blessings of writing This Much. soulmate au with buffy/willow and giles/jenny where like. none of them are soulmates but they fall crazy in love anyway.

the happy-ending bouquet (3,851 words) set in 2018. giles and jenny have been married for something like 15 years and are still very happy and in love. basically just an endless deluge of fluff

personas (2,729 words) hhhhh i hesitate to count this as a 2018 fic, because i technically posted it in summer 2017 and then deleted it for reasons unknown (even to me). but there aren’t enough fics that explore jenny’s fractured sense of identity and her broken heart and i love my girl so much. so. wrote that.

something real (2,173 words) my valentine’s day fic!! a friend and i share the headcanon that jenny would have finally shoved her way back into giles’s heart if not for the love spell throwing her off, so. wrote a fic where that happened, albeit somewhat angstily.

direct, but not unwelcome (4,478 words) this fic always makes me cringe, a little; the office verse was written largely for faith and tara, and writing giles and jenny in it was a decision i don’t entirely like (mostly bc there really is no narrative place for either of them). but it has a few good lines ig?

putting a ring on it (2,370 words) giles and jenny proposal fic!! a little wobbly in places imo but still so fun to write. those two deserve all the fluff

the second choice soulmates (6,942 words) the inevitable faith/tara sequel to the soulmate au!! i had it planned from the second i started writing the first fic in that series, and i had a lot of fun with it. in which faith and tara have to deal with their soulmates being in love with each other, and end up falling in love themselves.

nightmares and the aftermath (1,205 words) the first fic i wrote in the ripper au! ripper has a nightmare; jenny talks him through it.

the inherent complexity of falling in love (3,519 words) more soulmate au nonsense!! this time with solely giles and jenny!!

let’s stay together (857 words) i say that this is “a series of vignettes in which ben, ann, and leslie are dating” but really it’s just one. i’ve kept it in bc i really wanna write more than one. ben/leslie/ann is such a blessed ship and there are no fics for it! which is ridiculous! because they really should all be dating!! leslie has two hands y’all

moments of connection in an uncertain world (3,351 words) the olivia/jenny fic that set that amazing ship on its course. set in asoue; jenny’s identity in the narrative is ambiguous bc jenny’s identity in every narrative is ambiguous. mystery bicon

amends (remixed) (2,988 words) i’m like 99 percent sure i spite-wrote this fic after watching amends bc that really seems like something i would do. in which ghost jenny makes sure buffy, angel, and giles all know that she doesn’t blame them for a single thing.

it’s a family affair (11 chapters) jenny, married to giles and mom to two daughters, loses her memory. i meant for this to be an exploration of jenny and giles’s relationship + jenny as a character, but with hindsight i feel like i kinda rushed it. maybe someday i’ll come back and expand this a little?

maybe i’m in love (24 chapters) CRIES. this fic was posted all in one day and got buried under the deluge of fic i wrote this year and i am still so sad that it remains forgotten. even by me. like i forgot it existed till now. but it is the treasure of my heart and i am still not sure what i can possibly do for calendiles day 2019 that will even come close to “slow burn giles/jenny series rewrite in script format.”

dragonslayers (8,048 words) i go back and forth between whether adding a sequel to a sappy-happy-ending fic was actually needed, but i had a lot of fun writing jenny and anya and tara being friends and adopting a dog. those girls deserve so much better.

tech support (1,315 words) jenny works at angel investigations, and giles meets her when he and buffy drive up to la to get a book. unabashed fluff.

family ties (2,294 words) giles introduces jenny to his dad and the aunts. i had giles call himself “rupert” for the entire fic and forgot to explain why i made the choice to do so (and there was a damn good reason!!!) so every time i see this fic....Regret™

i like you (992 words) the product of me realizing “wait, i never wrote a fic about my Very Specific Headcanon that giles and jenny had sex after school hard!!!” and then going ahead and writing that fic. not explicit; lots of giles and jenny being dumb and in love

take me now! (3,460 words) the sister fic to my other jenny/olivia fic! in this one, jenny’s a watcher and olivia’s the sweet librarian who has her all blushy.

the grieving process (9,771 words) this fic! was! such a trip to write! i wanted to write something where giles’s s6 issues were confronted. originally i wrote a jenny’s-alive fic where he goes to her place in la after leaving buffy in tabula rasa, but the mood of that fic was miserable and hostile, so i changed things ever so slightly. and then it became “giles goes to jenny after buffy dies,” and that transitioned into “giles actually finally gets to have an outlet for his emotions,” and then it became a very soft fic that i love very much.

unsolved mysteries (1,704 words) a modern jackaby au! where jenny cavanaugh has trauma-related anxiety and eats pretzels w jackaby in a hall closet! surprisingly soft.

the cleanup crew (2,968 words) post-ted; buffy calls jenny and giles in to help her with ted’s robot body. because that ep was a hot mess and too many things were tied up too fast.

princess charming (2,754 words) written thanks to a throwaway line from the grieving process! about jenny saving fred in pylea! @theforestlesbian mentioned in a review that this fic came off as “the adventures of jenny” and that was the best compliment ever.

untraditional, unconditional (4,223 words) ripper au! ripper and jenny get married! i don’t think i will ever write a better calendiles wedding than this one.

gettin’ bi (1,215 words) jenny and giles come out to each other. that’s really it.

intimacy (1,058 words) some root/shaw fluff. g o sh at some point i really should finish poi huh

the battle’s done (and we kind of won) (5,026 words) post-chosen; jenny inexplicably comes back from the dead, and giles works thru the messy aftermath of s7.

chaos, vengeance, love (1,412 words) giles’s exes talk over his grave. (and yes, i do mean jenny and ethan.)

buffy summers, muggle-born (6,075 words) buffy goes to hogwarts! this was meant to set the scene for a loosely connected string of fics, but i could never decide whether i wanted them to be chaptered fics or oneshots. i do have like 3 large chapters saved to my computer, tho :/

a eulogy (920 words) jenny calendar, as told by how she’s remembered.

survivors’ guilt (4,690 words) in which giles dies instead of jenny, and jenny and buffy deal with it poorly. my only problem w this fic is that i really wish i’d explored the messy aftermath of what might have happened if jenny had brought giles back. 2019 project y/y?

regarding honor and honesty in the workplace (43 chapters) CRIES IN JENNY/LILAH. given that i did not shut up about this fucking fic for a good 3 months, i don’t think it needs a summary.

maybe we could have a thing (3,184 words) giles and jenny’s first date!! canon told us they went out beforehand and it really did need to be ficced.

the most important words (2,753 words) passion fix-it! how many of these have i written dfshlsdhdf. anyway, by some lucky stroke, jenny doesn’t die, but she’s understandably kind of a mess. giles tries to help.

that brown-eyed technopagan (2,821 words) ripper au! willow has a HUGE crush on jenny calendar, who in this ‘verse is in her senior year at sunnydale high. lots of high school shenanigans.

seven new and very bad songs about jenny (8,597 words) another ripper au fic, this one about what it takes for ripper to finally give in and kiss the girl.

love of mine (282 words) one of the two fics i have written that involves giles grieving jenny. angst abounds.

the adjustment period (4024 words) i wanted to write about how weak vamp jenny is for her gf, so i returned to the grand romantic gestures ‘verse and explored that. femslash calendiles!!

love, scotch, and late-night parties (2,539 words) the aftermath of eyghon in the ripper au. jenny wants to be smothered in attention from ripper; ripper wants to give jenny the space he thinks she needs. basically the exact opposite of canon with the exact same inability to communicate.

father and son (3,761 words) in which ripper examines his relationship to his dad, and worries about treating his new son the same way. (spoiler alert: he obviously does not.)

imperfections (46 chapters) TECHNICALLY i added a few new chapters in 2018. i stg i’ll at least get closer to finishing it this year.

happily ever after (2,005 words) set after the dire king! jenny and jackaby being dumb and in love and experimenting with “the mechanics of ghost-human relations.”

cardboard robot (2,097 words) ripper au: halloween edition! ripper gets a pumpkin stuck on his head and sings about jenny, who Definitely Doesn’t Like Him What Are You Talking About Shut Up.

tea, with honey (3,295 words) a modern jackaby au, where jenny’s trauma really is trauma with no ghost metaphor. jackaby, darling of my heart, is still just as sympathetic.

very really married (6 chapters) THIS I WILL FINISH IN 2019. FOR REALS. i have too many unpublished chapters on my laptop to NOT finish it. set in s1; giles and jenny get drunk married in las vegas pre-canon. which, of course, adds a whole new level of complexity to both of giles’s new jobs.

coping (2,611 words) i really wanted to write about jenny and eyghon, bc there are like 0 fics that address the absolute mess that canon throws at that woman. so i did. very angsty with no clear happy ending, bc that’s what happens when you write canon compliant fic about jenny calendar.

yours (2,747 words) my first foray into writing phryne and jack! and, if the 4k-and-counting wip is anything to go by, definitely not my last. 2018 brought me a lot of things, but watching mfmm all the way through was definitely one of the best.

family ties (2,640 words) catch me crying about river and the ponds for the rest of my life, probably. centered around river’s graduation from luna university and her relationship with her parents.

decently clothed (1,516 words) lots of dumb calendiles fluff!! based on a paragraph from a btvs novel; jenny and giles go clothes shopping. it’s exactly as cute as it sounds.

making things right (1,060 words) passion fix-it that came to me when i thought “what if jenny survived, but didn’t even care that she’d almost died, bc what really mattered was that she’d fixed things with giles and buffy?? lmao how badly would that fuck giles up, knowing that she placed earning his trust over her own life???” and then i wrote it bc i love pain

bless her soul (6,294 words) s3. jenny comes back wrong. lots of explorations of the guilt that buffy, giles, and angel harbored for jenny’s death, with none of the pain of using jenny solely as a mouthpiece for evil. so like. amends done right.

dear friend (1 chapter, so far) a you’ve got mail calendiles au that i really do intend to work on some more in 2019.

haunted (15,622 words) WHAT a note to end 2018 on. a (mostly) non-supernatural au in which jenny, after an intense & awful trauma, leaves sunnydale and buys a ridiculously inexpensive mansion in england. why was it so cheap? because giles, the ghost who lives there, has been scaring off buyers. naturally, jenny is not easily rattled.

Favorite Fic: it’s hard to choose bc i wrote so many but for now i’ll pick bless her soul. writing the-first-as-jenny and playing up scooby guilt while still getting to bring jenny back for a happy ending??? that was just so much fun.

Hardest Fic: very really married. absolutely. i was in a v weird place while writing that fic, so that certainly didn’t help, but that fic has been giving me Trouble since i started writing it.

Do You Plan to Take Prompts in 2019? always!!

What was the best thing about 2018? friendsssss!!! i’m entering 2019 with a lot of solid friendships, which really wasn’t the case in 2018.

What was the worst thing about 2018? tbh the answer will always and forever be “my mom” until i am out of this house

Any last thoughts for 2018? how the FUCK did i WRITE more than half of the fics i have posted on ao3 in THIS YEAR ALONE. 55 FICS. i’m REELING.

Goals for 2019

finish the cheesy au g/j multichapters i started

maybe start work on a detective au sequel? i miss that ‘verse

more ripper au fic!!!!!

more jenny/olivia!!!

more jenny centric fic in general like It’s What She Deserves

SOMETHING about jenny and angel. i talk big talk about how much that dynamic fascinates me but i only ever touch on it in fic. it’s never the central focus.

finish the phryne/jack fic i’m working on, and maybe...tentatively...write more?

#fic #fic roundup #55 FICS WRITTEN i am. kinda in shock #i wanna tag people but i don't know who writes what so like #if u wanna do this consider urself tagged????

New edit: Lmao y'all don’t know how to fucking read do you? Like all most of y'all do is play the victim card like some sad tragic anime character, pls. Like anti-shaladin people I literally DEFENDED y'all in MULTIPLE paragraphs here but here I am getting shit for making a few sarcastic jokes. I have one person calling me a minty apologist when I literally called them out on their bullshit (even though I made like a small joke on the infiltration which was taken seriously idk why y'all are so extra like this). I can’t even summon up the energy to type properly and not like some Fuckboy on drugs bc this is all so ridiculous. If y'all have so much problems with each other sort it out between yourselves or bring in a few close friends. Don’t be taking this shit to tumblr of all places (a well known shit talk website) and expect people not to react. (I’m looking at you Minty I mean for fucks sake I know I said you could play a SMALL portion of the victim card but you know this whole shitfest could have been avoided if y'all just left the antis alone or done something simple like post “any nice polite antis want to discuss/intellectually debate on shaladin” or something ANYTHING except seeking these guys out in the numbers on a discord group. Like you be acting like you calling out Donald Trump on some high end level blackmail he did when in reality you’re just posting screenshots of conversations that were meant to be private. Were some of the things they said rude??? HELL YEAH! But did they actively seek YOU out?? Uh no.) (though really in the first place, Antis if you hate shaladin so much…why you gotta go seek shaladin blogs out just to shit talk them….this isn’t a remake of mean girls or whatever….like fuck…you coulda just…avoided shaladin….and not looked at the blogs at all….) (BASICALLY WHAT THIS WHOLE THING IS SAYING IS THAT YOURE BOTH WRONG AND YALL GOTTA CHILL OUT AND EITHER APOLOGISE OR IF BOTH OF YOU GON BE PETTY THEN JUST IGNORE EACH OTHER)

Fuck ok guys I don’t know who minty or any of these people who are involved in the discourse are but y'all need to chill TF out. (Except maybe minty can lose her shit a little since y'all are fucking taking the nastiest most extra and unnecessary dump on her) I’d type in proper English and fucking make an essay if I could but I’m running on multiple cans of double shot espressos and approx 2 hours of proper sleep so leave me and my typos be. I’m only just awake enough to understand that this whole discourse could have been so easily avoided but ok fine it’s happening anyways cause y'all are extra

First of all, like in a way it confuses me as to why a shaladin shipper would go into an anti group but ok fine sometimes I wanna check out the compitish too. I mean you didn’t have to minty but fine ok I won’t judge too much since I do the same thing when I tryna throw some shade. Not saying that minty wanted to throw shade ok this is just my (hopefully incorrect) assumption so don’t be harassing minty about this

Edit: ok so I found out that apparently minty and their Friend went there to see if there were any nice antis and were severely let down. Fine ok y'all didn’t go there to throw shade. But y'all had to stay there?? I mean…like I’m usually all for throwing shade but…y'all coulda left…at any time… (still kudos for the infiltration lmao) (ok Kyle take this seriously)

But the rape video thing I mean like ://// if you didn’t wanna watch it like ok then don’t watch it y'all don’t gotta be so extra and just like “oh my goooOOoOoooOd minty’s tryna trigger us that god damn pedo shaladin shipper” I mean really guys chill TF out and just kinda ignore it?? She was just tryna help out some people and all y'all gotta do is either ignore it or help out :// no one forced you to do shit so don’t pull the victim card

As a matter of fact none of y'all get to pull the victim card. (I mean maybe except minty since in the first place most people just seem to be mad over the rape video which is just a misunderstanding so) (but they only get to pull like a small victim card. Very small. Since they didn’t really have to join the group in the first place. So not the full victim card just just like half or like a quarter) (yeah I realise I sound fuckin biased as shit towards minty but it’s hard not to sound biased when it comes to this particular sort of situation)

I mean I see this whole really extra and unnecessary discourse and I’m just reminded of all the warnings my Friends gave me on the Voltron fandom like why y'all gotta give us a bad name like that :/

Also like seriously guys try not to let this stereotype all of one group. Like don’t pull the “oh these few antis were assholes therefore all antis are assholes” like 1+1=492928???? Really guys I mean we’re all in the same fandom can we just leave people alone.

(Ok this is where I deviate from the whole Minty discourse and start talking about shalladin and the whole pedophillia thing)

I mean shalladin isn’t even actual pedophillia (Unless you count pidge who is like 14 and in her early teens which is technically still within like child-ness of that makes sense). Y'all realise pedophillia is sexual acts between an adult and CHILD right?? Right????? I mean the other paladins excluding pidge are in their late teens meaning 18-19 :// that’s not pedophillia that’s just mildly uncomfortable if Shiro turned out to be canonically like 40 or 50 but I doubt it :/

I mean if y'all are really that uncomfortable with it then fine ok that’s nice to each their own but y'all be calling other people pedophiles for merely liking shalladin. Like bitch ok leave other people alone pls? You stay in your corner we’ll stay in ours.

Also guys I mean like don’t go seeking out anti-shalladin people just to fuckin throw shade and shit at them :// I mean y'all are at least half the fuckin reason why they hate shalladin shippers. Just leave them be to each their own. I mean unless they seek you out then just politely tell them that they can take their opinion and put it in their pocket.

Also I don’t wanna get no anonymous bitches telling me I’m a pedophile for shipping shalladin. I don’t wanna get no ignorant fucks coming up into my inbox screaming at me for having a god damned opinion. Don’t be coming up at me like “Yoo like dude why tf would you post this like Fuck off” bitch I’m posting this cause I’m sick of seeing the Voltron fandom go into a god damned fucking war bc of these situations. If y'all chilled TF out and stopped being so extra and stopped purposefully seeking people out to fight with them maybe we wouldn’t be in this particular situation in the first place.

And there you have it. An actual essay on why Kyle is very very done with extra people in the fandom.
