#but pretty fun to do a take on imo

[pb-dot]

Oh lord this has put an idea in my mind let me tell you.

FADE IN a dark museum, lit only by the green on-indicator on a surveillance camera. A slow tempo minor key cover of Limahl's Neverending Story plays as MICHAEL, a large square security guard that moves entirely too silently, patrols in the darkness VOCALS: Turn around SOMETHING skitters between two columns, Michael turns fast VOCALS: Look at what you see The SOMETHING skitters deeper into the museum, Michael gives chase. CUT TO: A bright home gym room, athletic dark skinned ALICIA punches a large, solid punching bag. Her face is set in a scowl, maybe angry, maybe just intensely focused. VOCALS: In Her Face RAPID CUTS between each strike, until a singular strike with the heel of Alicia's hand tears the bag from its attachment and slams it into the wall VOCALS: The mirror of your dreams Alicia clenches and unclenches her fist as she looks at the now ruined punching bag with a mix of confusion and strange joy. CUT TO: A dimly lit office. Waifish Lex stands in front of a large window to the dark Warsaw skyline outside. VOCALS: Make believe I'm everywhere A strange shimmer folds reality into gleaming semitranslucent flakes as MAGIC expands into a large sphere covered by something that would be a mirror if it was real. VOCALS: I'm hidden in the lines Lex' dainty hand reaches out and almost touches the magical mirror sphere. VOCALS: Written on the pages is the answer to a Gravity pulls Lex off their feet and in through the portal sphere as the music seemingly skips parts of the refrain. CUT TO: Bright day, the rolling hills of north Mexico. Small but spry Felipe jumps through an obstacle course while aiming a drawn compound bow. VOCALS: Reach the stars CUT TO: Felipe is flying through the air, carried by a man-hawk, Soars-In-Thermals, he draws the string of his bow and let's lose a shot RAPID CUT to the arrow hitting its mark in Mexico. VOCALS: Fly a fantasy CUT TO: Sunset, Mexico. A tornado spout has enveloped Felipe. Felipe spreads his arms like Christ on the cross. His smug expression tells us he knows exactly what he's doing. VOCALS: Dream a dream, and what you see will be. CUT TO: Michael opens up a wooden shutter in a rock wall. THE CAMERA PULLS OUT to reveal the massive impossible patchwork city of thereafter under it's shimmering dark sky. VOCALS: Rhymes that keep their secrets CUT TO: Michael and the exalted heroes sit around while Eltern, the expositions guy tells them something. VOCALS: Will unfold behind the clouds CUT TO: Lex in the streets of Thereafter, their hands are raised, one surrounded by magical wind, the other by a glob of water VOCALS: And there upon a rainbow CUT TO: Ultraclose on Felipe's face as he nocks an old-timey arrow VOCALS: Is the answer... CUT TO: Medium close on Alicia as she grips a large axe that she holds with no apparent spent effort. VOCALS: To a never-ending CUT TO: Michael, now clad in black armor, draws his shortsword VOCALS: Never-ending CUT-TO Felipe, Alicia, and Lex stand back-to-back surrounded by thugs of various stripes. The music draws to an increasing crescendo in both volume and intensity VOCALS: Never-Ending CUT TO: Michael fights a mole-man, all but a shadow against the blazing fire that is enveloping their surroundings. It's unclear whether he's winning or not. VOCALS: NEVER-ENDING CUT TO BLACK, Alicia speaks out in voice-over, soon joined by lex ALICIA: We aren't heroes, we aren't regular folk. We're a bundle of dynamite. LEX: Then sister, I say we light the fucking fuse. RAPID CUTS of the Exalted heroes suiting up, fighting thugs, Lex punching Felipe, Felipe kissing Michael, Lex kissing Alicia, Alicia punching Felipe, Lex and Michael sitting on the roof of what appears to be a castle, a clumsy foursome in a very comfy couch. As the intensity of the cuts increases, the music comes back and builds to a crescendo along with it. The vocals hit like a ton of bricks as the title card drops: Thereafter: The City After The End VOCALS: NEVER-ENDING STORYYYYYYY Cut to black, then to Lex shrugging. LEX: Let's not go crazy all at once, it's too nice of a job to rush FADE OUT

This is my personal crossover event of the century

[transingthoseformers]

you've never thought about Elita-one x Megaempress? , I feel like it would be a good doom yuri

You're right I haven't thought of that, and it would be interesting!

Especially given how Megaempress is part of a combiner because dggddg gestalt shenanigans

I don't know Megaempress as well as I think I should, but I think she's got an interesting personality and I think she's gorgeous

hey quick question anyone know of any aus out there where Itama and Kawarma live but Tobirama and Hashirama DONT

[selfproclaimedunicorn]

Playing Inquisition for the first time (past finding Skyhold) 9 years after it came out is so fucking wild.

I know, vaguely, what's going on due to the nature of Spoilers Don't Matter After A Few Years/seeking out spoilers bc they help me determine if something is worth my time/general (casual) fandom osmosis...but also it has been years since I looked into anything seriously/people discussed anything in a way that's not at all dissimilar to ASOIAF Fandom Decade Long Wait Brain Worms, so I am just being blindsided by half the information I feel like I already knew at some point (& probably had hidden deep in the recesses of my brain).

[avvidstarion]

Honestly tma should’ve ended after season four like I feel like SEEING the fear apocalypse made it super underwhelming

[toytulini]

god hes really making this difficult with the tweets, but, I hope we all recognize that the reasons hes a bad person, and the reasons he would make a bad president, are because of his shitty beliefs, and not, because of an infection that could and does happen to anyone?

There is absolutely nothing you could make up about American politics. Imagination is dead. It's useless.

The different inner placements for each sign — observations+ranking

by astrobydalia

Disclaimer: these are based on my personal experience and opinions!!

Aries

Mercury: so insanely smart and fast thinkers. Very real, straight to the point and say-it-like-it-is kind of people, love them. I could hear them talk all day

ASC: most authentic people you'll meet!!! What you see is what you get. Also very spontaneous and effortlessly fun

Venus: love, so fun to be around and specially the women with this placement they're soooo hot

Sun, Mars: these are very similar imo. so loyal and protective people but they tend to be pretty crass and often come across as rude unintentionally. Aries Suns are more blunt and outspoken while Aries Mars can be more chill but they're more prone to attracting hate. Great people to have in your corner overall.

Moon: Stubborn as fuck. Not open to understanding anything beyond themselves so they tend go around life with HUGE tunnel vision. Trying to reason/negotiate with them is nearly impossible

Taurus

Moon: my god, you won't know emotional intelligence, calmness and care until you meet a Taurus Moon like DAMN. Their patience, empathy and sense of boundaries is just impecable

ASC: their energy is sooooo soothing like ugh. They have a very cute and comforting aura, very magnetic people and naturally gorgeous

Mercury: they speak slow or not too much but once they let a full sentence out it's usually GOLD

Sun: hmmmm they do tend to be kinda full of themselves but they have BDE and are pretty hot so I'll give them that

Mars: VOICE is soooo good. However they tend to be low-key problematic tbh. Will get very snappy and petty real quick

Venus: I know this is venus's domicile but... most taurus venus I've seen were low-key kinda..... harsh and stern in their love style?? And not all that loyal if im honest with you, they're only loyal when they see personal benefit/satisfaction. It’s true that they’ll spoil you if they truly love you tho

Gemini

Mars: comeback queens/kings, also very multi-talented. What else can I say they always manage to be so iconic

Moon: out of all gemini placements they're the most likely to sit down and really listen to you. Can be too honest, another say-it-like-it-is placement. Comforting others is not their forte but they're very tolerant and patient

Venus: golden retriever energy, extroverted and popular and I've said this before but they can be very loyal!!

Sun: they are cool and so so funny but can also be veeeeery immature and a bit self-righteous. I love them but that bad press they have in pop culture exists for a reason that's all im gonna say

ASC: they're very intelligent and entertaining but gemini on the asc is such a messy placement imo cause they have an identity/existencial crisis at least twice a day which can make them kinda chaotic people to have in your life (love you guys tho)

Mercury: talking with them is VERY annoying tbh. They will just roughly listen to what you say just keep interrupting and eventually start their own monologue. They ain't listening they aren't even wanting for their turn to speak they're just waiting for whatever opportunity to speak

Cancer

Mercury: such good listeners!! also they are very honest and genuine with what they say like aries mercury but more tactful

Venus: this placement soothes down the most fiery personality. They are very loved and inexplicably magnetic

ASC: mommy issues. I love their intuition and they are really good at creating community wherever they go but my only complaint is they are defensive 24/7

Moon: hit or miss. Either really emotionally mature person that wants to take care of everyone or very immature and childish with a victim complex

Sun: huge attention seekers. Insecure, codependent and always looking for validation. Tend to portray themselves as innocent/clueless/harmless, etc.

Mars: these are SLY motherfuckers, they scare me more than scorpio mars

Leo

Moon: I have to admit this placement surprised me for the better. Yes they can be egotistical and entitled but when developed leo moons are very profound and passionate people with strong morals and are really good at inspiring others and lifting them up

Sun: the main character complex rumors may or may not be true but their magnetism and charm is undeniable

Mars: extremely prideful, my way or the highway kinda attitude, but they’re usually pretty harmless people from what I’ve seen. Their anger can be intense but they let it go easily after some dramatic moment. Dedicated.

ASC: daddy issues central. Known to be the most introverted leo placement but they’re very very very attached to their pride underneath. They really do wanna be/feel special and unique to the point of keeping most people at arm’s length cause that’s how much they wanna distinct themselves

Mercury: won’t hesitate to change topics if they don’t care what is being talked about or it has nothing to do with them. Laser focused on their interests tho that’s pretty cool

Venus: yeah they're generous but also a bit overbearing and low-key snotty. Tendency to associate themselves with people they don’t like all that much just because it gives them status or cause they get to receive lavish treatment

Virgo

Mars: omfg I love this placement so much. They handle conflict with SO much grace and embody all the good traits of virgo (capable, responsible, hard workers, great to work with, helpful, self-accountable....) *lady gaga's voice* talented brilliant incredible amazing show-stopping spectacular-

Venus: genuinely very responsable, dedicated and loyal in their relationships and commitments. I always find myself often complimenting their style and fashion choices

Mercury: a bit of a menace bc they can be good liars but they're always very very talented individuals in whatever it is they do

ASC: pretty self-serving tbh and often come across as goody-two-shoes or know-it-alls but they're alright for the most part. The virgo placement that has it the LEAST together tbh

Moon: they'll be there for you when you need help or advice but they can be pretty judgmental. They have a tendency to not really give people some grace. If they genuinely like you tho they’ll be extremely appreciative of everything you do right. Supportive

Sun: Very standoffish personality. Hard on themselves on the surface but probably also has a hidden superiority complex. The only placement where I prefer the men over the women

Libra

Moon: least superficial libra placement. Very introspective, sweet and find it really easy to understand other's emotions in an unbiased way

Mercury: invented the concept of understanding and voicing other perspectives with necessarily agreeing. Mind of their own.

Venus: superficial and obsessed with the opposite sex? Yes. Extremely devoted in all their relationships? Also yes.

Sun: meh. I keep having this experience with Libra Suns where I think they're great at first but then they end up being... not so great after some time. They're not bad really but their air-headedness makes them very unreliable

ASC: Their charm is manipulative and can easily hide a shitty personality underneath (not always the case tho). They're also the most emotionally superficial/detached of the bunch

Mars: hypocrates, huge huge hypocrates. Dubious morality. Playing devils advocate

Scorpio

Sun: they mind their own business and are really good at picking their battles wisely, only taking out their “dark” energy when it’s needed

Mars: don’t bother them and they won’t bother you. That’s the golden rule. Otherwise they’re pretty chill and unproblematic, dark humor enjoyers and strong-willed. I won’t say they’re completely drama free but hey

Mercury: they’ll be open to talk about anything, you can tell them literally anything and will listen intently without judgement. They can easily use info against others or withhold info tho so make sure they can be trusted

ASC: y’all low-key enjoy toxicity and drama but you don’t wanna admit it!!! They really thrive in uncomfortable situations and probably likes gossip too. One of the most black-or-white mindset placements

Venus: yeah not the best in relationships. They don’t really give their all and when they do give something it’s never unconditional. Relationships are always a power dynamic to them

Moon: Very tricky placement. Life has not been kind to them oof. Either they’re very traumatized people with a good heart deep down or very traumatized people with a really ugly and nasty soul. They also romanticize psychopaths and antisocial behaviors for some reason?????

Sagittarius

ASC: yes Im biased I don't care. But, be honest, when have you met a sag asc that wasn't cool af? Case closed. Life's good as a sag asc and when it's not, we make it that way

Sun: if you keep the men out of the equation sag suns are amazing!!! Their personality is like a breath of fresh air

Mercury: soso profound and intelligent. Will introduce you to new perspectives, great researchers. So good at finding answers and solutions!!!

Venus: Very open-minded, they are genuinely very accepting of literally any kind of person! They will applaud and celebrate your differences and quirks however they tend to be flighty and pretty light on their feet

Moon: Anger issues!!! Very volatile and defensive people underneath that chill and funny persona. They have well-known beef with someone. Don't like admitting their wrong, prone to ghosting everyone 99% of the times

Mars: the most entitled and rude out of all the sagittarius placements. The type to laugh in your face and never take accountability, their attitude can be revolting if you ask me

Capricorn

Venus: they make me MELT. So incredibly attractive, reliable, such an impecable taste, the way they treat you will bring you to your knees like ugh I can't

Mars: most resilient individuals I've seen truly!! Literally nothing will bring them down. So so ambitious, focused and have endless energy love them

Sun: cap suns and I have natural synergy. They're very level-headed, reliable, loyal and mature. However they are huge fatalists, very pessimistic and my jupiterian ass ain’t got time for that

ASC: too obsessed with their status and/or how they're perceived compared to others in their circle like sis stop caring sm what others think and live a little!!!

Mercury: listen, these folks can be very intelligent and well-read, but they tend to come across as narrow-minded or bigoted sometimes with the things the say or how they say things

Moon: I wanna root for y'all cap moons but being honest I've seen this placement is very common in really toxic personalities. They hold lots of past resentments and can be very judgmental and mean similar to virgo moons

Aquarius

ASC: socially adaptable but they stay true to themselves at the same time. Attractive, loyal and fresh personality/presence.

Mars: veeeery likable and popular. They really are dedicated to making an impact on the people

Sun: when they just simply focus on being themselves and doing their own thing they're very genuinely special and chill people and great friends! However when they care too much about being making themselves special they're very egocentric and unnecessarily problematic

Venus: messy placement. Very welcoming but they have big trust issues. They go back and forth between 'everyone loves me' and 'everyone hates me' and so they act accordingly....

Mercury: super intelligent, great in debates and very convincing, they always make great points. However the god complex is BLATANT here, they really think they're the only one that's right

Moon: another deeply traumatized placement. They can be great advocates for the collective however they tend to lack empathy specially when it comes to interpersonal relationships

Pisces

Sun: rough around the edges at first but they are a lot more helpless and vulnerable than they seem on the surface. Also they are genuinely really good at disappearing??? You won't even notice they're gone. Their presence is striking tho

Mercury: "idk what the fuck she's saying but girl I am living!". They have such a rich inner world I can't. SEDUCTIVE

ASC: they are... functioning humans. They go around life not being completely sure of what's going on but hey that Jupiter is somehow making everything work for them

Moon: "There is an idea of Pisces Moons, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real them. Only an entity, something illusory. And though they can hide their wondering gaze, and you can shake their hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense your life styles are probably comparable, they simply are not there"

Venus: I've already spilled the tea on this placement. Next.

Mars: ever person I've seen with this placement was mentally unwell like, severely. They're doormats for the most part but there's this hidden side of them that can turn into a total demon
