I had an epiphany about ships today.

Look look, on the whole Pikmin 4 is way easier than 1 or 2. However running Pikmin 4 Cavern for a King, no-time-resets, would really be the dark souls of Pikmin.

the way Scully kneels down to Mulder’s level to talk to him when he’s distressed (and sitting) I don’t know if that’s romantic but it’s incredibly loving and tender.

you’re right. because she’s mimicking him. he always gets down to meet her when she’s vulnerable or scared. it’s like when she tried to use his first name (which he does when he’s trying to connect to her personally) in tooms. she’s doing what makes her feel safe and what makes her feel close to him.

Who says the episode title phrases in each episode of Wolf 359?

I've created a spreadsheet to show which character says the episode title phrase (i.e. the words which form the name of that particular episode) in every episode of Wolf 359. Graphs summarising this data can be found below, but to look at the full spreadsheet in all its glory, and see the progression through the series, you can follow this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cQLkhxbDAItU6rdiUAYGn54FXXxYC-JXlCmP_Dqe9FA/

(Please note: I’ve focused here on which character first speaks the exact title phrase within the episode itself. In some cases, this is not the only - or the most significant - time that the title phrase is spoken.)

EDIT: This post previously stated incorrectly that "the devil's plaything" is not said in Ep57. In fact, it is said by Pryce (through Minkowski). Thank you to @yaghoulghosty for pointing this out!

Update! They go on their fist date. Eddie doesn't panic.

Chapters: 17/21 Fandom: 9-1-1 (TV)

Relationships: Evan "Buck" Buckley/Eddie Diaz (9-1-1 TV) [Slow Burn - Angst with a Happy Ending - Post Season 5]

Rating: M | Words: 144k right now.

Summary:

Buck and Eddie go on their first date. And also other firsts. Love is stored in the kitchen (and the couch).

Longer Chapter Snippet:

When asked to describe their first kiss in the future, Eddie would use the word soft. It was all so soft. In a way Eddie didn’t know Buck could be. Not after all he’d heard about Buck 1.0, not after knowing about the bar bathrooms, not after seeing the way he’d squeeze Taylor’s waist while dancing, not after seeing the marks he’d leave just below her neck, where the skin could be hidden from the news.

Their first kiss was the gust of the beach wind against wet skin after Chris’s surfing lessons. Their first kiss was the streak of sunlight that came through Eddie’s windows in the sunny LA mornings, warm upon his ribs. Their first kiss was almost like a prayer, if they could be any holier. 

After what seems like way too long and not nearly long enough, Buck separates himself. Eddie opens his eyes to a curious face, deep blue gaze studying his reaction, pink lips being bitten in nervousness, maybe anticipation, the same color as his birthmark, the same color as his shirt, the same color as the ocean of roses Eddie once dreamed of swimming on.

“Was that okay?” Buck asks, one more whisper, still holding onto Eddie’s neck.

Eddie isn’t sure he could articulate many words if he tried to, but something wild and unholy inside him snaps. He says, “No.”

There is a single second of confusion and hurt that flashes into Buck’s eyes. And then, this being born out of desire and longing and want want want inside Eddie growls, “More.”

Eddie pounces on Buck.

There’s no other word for it. One of Eddie’s hands grabs onto Buck’s nape and pulls him into Eddie’s mouth again, the other hand pulling at his shirt, Eddie’s entire body slamming against him, breath lost and thoughts gone. There is no chastity or holiness to their second kiss.

Their second kiss is teeth clashing against teeth. Their second kiss is Eddie pushing Buck until his hips hit the kitchen balcony with a loud thud, his back crashing onto the cabinets, the sound of plates vibrating loudly announcing the disturbance. Their second kiss is desperate clawing at any piece of skin, grabbing at hair, Buck moaning into Eddie’s mouth, the rough scratch of stubble. Their second kiss is sucking Buck’s meaty lower lip exactly like Eddie imagined doing many times before, licking into Buck’s mouth with unimaginable ease, tongues clashing against each other like they knew their place was right over there all along. Their second kiss is Buck crushing Eddie’s waist into a bear hug, strong forearms straining and warm, closer and closer and closer, no possible space between them, and Eddie slotting his thigh between Buck’s legs, and their entire bodies pressing together all at once, like there is not enough skin in the world for them to touch, like there is way too much skin to be left untouched.

Eddie can feel all the blood that should run his brain rush to his crotch. Against his hip, he can feel Buck grow under his pants, arms still crushing Eddie.

It’s new. It’s all new.

[twentyfivemiceinatrenchcoat]

sometimes i remember that gojo wanted to tell geto “we’ll meet again, right?” just before he died but forced himself not to knowing it would have cursed him and then i start thinking about how kind and thoughtful gojo is as a character and how he hasn’t been able to lean on another human being since geto defected and then i want to .

Some art I did of Bow with his father

I made him as a what if character like I usually do,and got really attached to him.And it's been a bit since I drew him so I went and did so :3

I had a different sketch for this drawing at first,but I'm glad I reworked it bc I like this one better.

And Ig he does have a little bit of lore,when I first made him I was going to give him a complex backstory.But I refuse,never.He stays simple.

What I think I came up with was that he was actually a creation that Audrey made when she was little,that Joey just kinda drew and added to make her happy.Hence Bow's creation.

He has a kind and sweet personality,hardly similar to his own father.But still has a mischievous undertone to him.

Now why was he given to the ink demon?Mostly bc I remember hearing of like a theory a long time ago that the ink demon represented joeys guilt and anger,a parallel to joey in the ink world.And I just have never let that go,at all.

So yeah,he got a son because Joey got a daughter.Kinda like how he gave Henry an angel in the ink world.Does it make complete sense NOPE-

It's more just au territory and I'm fine with that

But yeah,he :)

I'll probably draw more of him in the future,I leave now

And a small doodle I did for fun

A random Will Solace/ solangelo hc:

I already posted this on my twt but ykw, I’ll post it on here too idc.

Okay so hear me out: I just thought of something pretty cool. Although I hc Will to be afro-latino/ latino, i also hc him as filipino. (Atp, I’ll hc him as both). So in Tagalog, ko means “my” & there are petnames such as “mahalko” (my love) *insert name* ko.

Following along so far?

Since Will has loser rizz and I’ve seen fics of ppl having Will refer to Nico as “Ni” as a petname, imagine Will trying to use a pick up line on Nico by using his name as a pun 😭 and his contact name is Ni-ko 🖤 i hope yall are seeing the vision 😀

Also, i lowkey threw up in my mouth thinking abt how cheesy this is but honestly, these two are cheesy mfs and down BAD for e/o but in their own “unique” ways. Like Will is more vocal abt it and Nico is subtle through action & gestures but VERY intense abt it.

no cus i just remembered: "how long are you going to keep playing both sides?" rejection of nuance hilariously ironic coming from a character the writers couldn't even bother to give an actual opinion on the sokovia accords

You know what kinda bothers me after watching Arjun Prince of Bali for a while?

Throne of Bali depicting Arjun in a not so favorable light, despite the entire movie's whole purpose is to promote his then up and coming series.

And in the end, Bheem became the savior. Like, ok, it's originally a movie from Bheem's side of the series, but CB team making anyone else the hero instead of Bheem challenge (impossible).

Once again, I'm not here to bash on either shows; they're my favorite shows despite all things considered. It's just that I have to be in overanalyzing state at everything ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Arjun's Introductory

Arjun's introduction is anything but nice. First glance, he was depicted as an arrogant prince who thinks he doesn't need help from other people just because he's the prince.

And lo and behold, he softened up after half of the movie.

Idk if it's just me being biased. But if it were me, if I want to introduce a character that I wanted to make a whole series about, and the movie was my promotion tactic, I'd give him more character that still holds true when he had the series.

Like, ok, the series was like 3 years after Throne of Bali timeline-wise (Arjun being 8 at TOB, then 11 at APOB), so I get that he grew up and matured up. But god forbid introducing a character in such a way.

Tanya & Zimmbu's Absence

What kinda irks me is the fact that Tanya doesn't exist. So does Zimmbu, and they're supposed to be Arjun's little sister and pet respectively.

What I assume is that Arjun's story is still half-baked when Throne of Bali was up. So instead of fleshing out the story and characters first, they just decided to go with whatever they have, and went along with the movie's release anyways.

Which, I guess they're chasing a deadline, so I guess I should cut them some slack. But still, excluding very crucial people from Arjun's life other than his parents that make up for more than half of his character is a bit much, no?

Bheem Being the Story's 'Savior'

I get it, it's Bheem's movie originally, so I get why putting Bheem on a spotlight more. But again, it's Arjun's movie at the end of the day, shouldn't it be reasonable that Arjun be the ultimate savior?

He's the crown prince for crying out loud, why did it shift to Bheem being a prince??

Which, I supposed because Bheem was a well-known figure already, in which if he's not the main hero, less people would take interest in the series.

But then again, another solution is to make both of them the ultimate saviors. But hey, I'm no Green Gold.

Now, it's time for me to tackle on a bit of kinda like a rewrite but not really. I'm just gonna list out that what I would like to be changed in the movie.

Involving Tanya and Zimmbu

I think involving Arjun's closest person and animal is detrimental for his character overall. Despite his personality, Arjun is a caring older brother and would actually put his sister first before him (which, ik in some cases Tanya came second, but that's because she just wanted to do what her brother was doing, but my point still stands for overall reasons).

Arjun would still be hostile towards Bheem and his friends, which would make sense because he doesn't know them, despite being the people his uncle trusted. I'd replaced his arrogance to just focusing on keeping his sister from harm's way. He'd keep her close at all times during the span of the movie until Arjun could slowly trust Bheem.

Arjun's Personality

I get that he's made to be the type to enjoy attention and limelight, and also a bit of competitive. But how did it turned to complete arrogance??

In the series, as far as I know, the only times Arjun ever used his title against someone was towards villains who's making havoc towards the kingdom, and Arjun have to use his title to let the villains know that their actions are acknowledged by the order. Arjun might've still be only a prince, but he's the eventual ruler, so his words also holds power despite his current position.

Once again, I'm using Arjun's caring big bro personality at play here (Arjun acted the same way to Khojo, and sometimes even Sankat). Realistically, I don't think Arjun would've cared much about getting attention from his people while his home is literally being under attack. His main focus should be at making sure the people who's still unaffected by the curse remains safe.

Arjun would still kept his distance from the gang for safety measures; he still doesn't trust them in fear that they might've had some ulterior motives behind their help that Arjun knew nothing about. His hostile attitude towards them was to keep himself, and his sister and pet safe from potential danger.

Arjun would keep Tanya entertained and maybe comfort her when she's getting homesick. She and Zimmbu are his only family left at the time, so keeping them close to him at all times was an absolute need for not just for them, but also for himself.

I think Arjun would soften up when Tanya gets more close with the others. Arjun is still close Indumati and trusts her because she is family, but Tanya getting really friendly with everyone else was kinda like a stepping stone for him to loosen up.

As Arjun began to soften up and trusts them, he'll be more friendlier to them.

And trusting Tanya with the others was a huge step for him into completely trusting them. Regardless of everything, Tanya was at the top of his priority, so trusting his sister's safety with them was huge.

Ending

What irks me most was at the end of everything, Bheem was the ultimate savior. Hello, is this movie supposed to promote Arjun or not??

When Bheem fell into the cracks and into the lava, Arjun would be following him in an attempt to save him from falling into the lava, but both ended up falling in anyways, but was saved regardless.

Bheem would be told that he still have many lives to save in the future, while Arjun would be told that as the prince of Bali and the eventual ruler of the kingdom, Arjun have the utmost responsibility to keep the kingdom from harm, and possibly foreshadowing Bali's second calamity and his fight with Hiranya.

I think that's all I have to offer. If there's any more, I'd add it later.

[carefulfears]

for mulder, the entirety of the william/jackson arc in the revival. i think of him running off because scully asks him too, slitting that man's throat, threatening unknown agents for their interference. every single thing he does. even the quieter moments. their date nights, saying The Thing to scully, just giving her whatever she needs. *waiting* for her to be ready. "that's my choice" speech. when she calls him fox and now it seems natural for them.

this is such a good one and i think it's easy to associate mulder with strength in the revival because he's so much Bigger and physically present and they treat him like an action hero at times, but also easy to miss what it takes to fulfill the role he is. he's so steady and even impulsive drastic moves like the throat-slit feel calm and calculated. he has to play the rational fixed point in a situation that is unbearably difficult for him too, and that's harder than it looks.
