-ooc:
Had the neighborsâ kids stay with me last night and they were told not to go to their apartment until either I woke up or their parents came over to say they couldnât home cause they get up at 4am everyday. They donât get to sleep in. Well the kids woke me up at 740am asking to go over. I said no cause I hadnât received a text saying their parents were awake yet ( one of my neighbors also went to the er last night cause she fell on her stairs. ) they still went over and woke up their parents. We are all grumpy and awake now and I feel sick to my stomach from being woke up so early and out of a deep sleep. I just wanted to sleep in. I told the kids that if they donât start letting us sleep that they will start waking up everyday at 4 with their mom when she goes to work and they wonât be allowed to sleep until itâs bedtime just so they understand what it feels like.
#ââââ without my slippers ( ooc )#(( I donât like being mean to kids#but what else can we do#we are trying to get them to understand being courteous to others#but they think they can just do as they please ))

First meeting
#stobotnik#doctor ivo robotnik#agent stone#sonic movie universe#i hope you all are noticing what i'm doing with stone's clothes specifically#white shirt pre robotnik black to fit his goth boss then colors when ivo starts wearing red#also i know we all like to think robotnik hated being assigned an agent but i present to you:#he sees it as a symbol of status kinda. stone hates being here#it just feels right to me. it's not that robotnik thinks the agent will be useful at all#he's just pleased that he got one#everyone else has an assistant why shouldn't he?#this ties to a very very stupid headcanon i have#and it's that robotnik's blood type is O negative#HEAR ME OUT he would hate that. he would hate being an universal donnor because he doesn't care about saving lives of humans ew#but then stone is also O negative so that means robotnik can receive blood from him if necessary#and that's mostly the reason why he was chosen to be his assistant#ivo is too important to die! and O negative blood isn't that common#Stone knows but probably no one told robotnik#then of course imagine stone getting injured and needing blood and ivo is like wait i can do that it doesn't matter what his blood type is#you get the point#i think. i'm pretty sure there was a point#oh well#oh the no hr joke. they're a shady goverment organization i don't think they treat their people that well#that being said maybe robotnik's treatment of stone was the reason they had to get an hr department who knows

i'm making myself laugh thinking about this but I wholeheartedly believe madame morrible absolutely HATES the thought of glinda and elphaba being together like the mere mention of gelphie would probably send her into immediate cardiac arrest and it's not even because she's homophobic or anything I just fully believe she dislikes glinda so so much she's just like this is absolutely NOT happening in my house.
glinda and elphaba are having their gay ass moment and she's like "I sense a disturbance in the force; the wind is telling me those fucking lesbians are at it again."
like IK this woman hates to see glinda's fruity ass coming for several reasons but first and foremost I believe it's because she's so fucking ANNOYED by how much elphaba loves and cares for her, like this pink bitch is throwing a wrench in her plans just by EXISTING and being herself.
and she can't even really do anything to glinda because it'll make elphaba upset and she really can't have that so she just has to sit there and be like
#wicked#wicked 2024#shitpost#my hand slipped oh no#madame morrible#glinda upland#elphaba thropp#gelphie#imagine being her for a second yk#like that scene just before the ballroom scene where elphaba comes to her#asks her to include glinda in their classes#and threatens to QUIT if she doesn't do it right that instant#and you're there like girl wtf???#i thought we hated her why are you up in her ass rn???#do you think she saw whatever sort of horrible homoerotic tension they had going on during loathing#and she was like yk what this is fine i can deal with this im sure this won't lead to anything#and cue elphaba banging on her door at 2am#i would've taken a bottle of aspirin and gone to bed like BYE#can't deal with these damn lesbians again#i just KNOW she was cursing glinda out#also again madame morrible's plan hinged on elphaba being so starved for love and approval she'd do whatever she and the wizard wanted#BUT WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN SHE GETS LOVE AND VALIDATION FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE#LIKE THIS WAS NOT ACCORDING TO PLAN#WHERE DID THE PINK LESBIAN COME FROM???

So.... what are your thoughts on Ace's UM, if you haven't been asked this already?
sneaky magic for the sneakiest boy
no but really, I think it fits him really well! I had thought his UM would probably involve something kinda sleight-of-handy or pickpockety! and I looooved that it made such a nice loop-around back to episode 1. â¤ď¸ I was. kind of half-expecting him to just run out and punch Riddle in the nose again. but instead this time 'twas he who offed the queen's head! it was great! and he did it while stone-cold terrified out of his mind! because Ace is the only remotely normal or well-adjusted person at NRC and therefore the only one who is like "we're going to literally die, this is super effed up". but he did it anyway!!!! I AM SO PROUD
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 part 12 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 part 12 spoilers#also love how it complements deuce's magic! they are two of a kind â¤ď¸â ď¸#i do think bet the limit fits the 'uno reverse card' description more though#like...okay they haven't really said much on how joker snatch works#(literally ace went 'we'll talk about it later')#but i think it's not supposed to be inherently retaliatory if that makes sense#the japanese is something like 'put an ace up my sleeve'#which implies to me that it's not really an in-the-moment thing? i think he can steal it and hold on to it for a while probably#like he might be able to snatch it and then use it on someone else later rather than it being reflected back on the original caster#versus deuce's being that he punches you back with your own punch (and/or other various punches he's acquired)#(a connoisseur of fine punches)#i am 100% guessing though so who knows! we will find out later i presume#now the only one left to get their um is grim maybe đ#(i mean i would also love to see some staff ums HEY TWST THAT WOULD BE COOL)#(but like. narratively speaking and all)#oh and maybe crowley's depending on how plot-important he actually ends up being#what if it turns out nothing's going on with crowley and he's actually completely irrelevant#he tears his mask off and he's just some random dude who has zero idea of what's happening#nobody's been orchestrating shit#everyone's just been getting radioactive poisoning from the stone adeuce replaced in the chandelier back in the prologue#this was all a cautionary tale about getting the blot levels in your school's hvac system regularly checked

i've said it before but it will forever and always make me insane that jacob's ending is to join the cullens for the sake of bella not having to give anything up. they find out jake will be immortal & tied to renesmee forever, so bella gets to smile & say "my family is finally complete! ^-^" but jake already HAS a family. he has a father and 2 sisters. quil, embry, seth and sam are like his brothers. jacob and leah were planning to run away together. he's always been welcome in emily's home, sue has been a family friend since before his birth. bella abandons her mortality by choice because she feels no connection to the people around her, but jacob has really strong bonds. it's clear that every character we meet in la push is like family to him, he's an active member of the community. jake would've graduated high school and been a mechanic, would've grown into a young man. a good friend, a fun uncle, a present son. he's set up to have such a rich life. and he's just magically compelled to give that up. beyond his control, he loses sight of everything, because his high school crush's baby is now the singular most important thing to him. he's perpetually 18 with his perpetually 18 year old girlfriend, running around vancouver or alaska or wherever with the girl who friendzoned him at 16 & her in-laws (who were antagonistic to him for months). and i'm just supposed to say omg yay now he doesn't have to let go of bella! everyone is happy! it's complete madness
#like even putting aside the utter insanity of him imprinting on a newborn (WHICH IS HARD TO PUT ASIDE) it is still CRAZY#like bella was never gonna do anything but be a vampire. from the moment she meets them the only ending for her is to join the cullens.#throughout the series the only thing we see tying bella to humanity is jacob. that's the conflict for her. thats what she must forfeit.#ofc there's charlie but SHE makes the decision that giving that relationship up is worth it to her#bella was never going to do anything else but jake WAS. jake HAD a whole life ahead of him that was taken from him#HE HAS NO CHOICE. HE'S JUST COMPELLED TO DO IT#ugh. jacob can be the Worst sometimes but ultimately he's a victim of the narrative fr#being kinda shitty & unable to get over a girl at 16 shouldn't condemn u to giving up literally every other relationship in ur life#also the phrasing of 'the girl who friendzoned him' in this post makes it sound like i think bella is wrong for that & to be clear i don't#i just mean to emphasize like. how young they are & how trivial their relationship drama would seem to them years down the line#jacob black#twilight#the twilight saga#twilight blog#bella swan#jacob twilight#quil ateara#seth clearwater#leah clearwater#embry call#sam uley#stephanie meyer#smeyer#new moon#eclipse#breaking dawn#twilight critical#mine#jake

Okay alright I'm tired of giving more children to Bruce Wayne I think we need to start taking some awayÂ
Tim getting kidnapped (but in a way they don't announce Tim Drake-Wayne as missing??) and is given Something that induces amnesia but he escapes or maybe just literally wanders away but like he's in the middle of Ohio and he's walking down the road unsure of his own name or where he is and a weird looking camper pills over and a large man leans out the window and says âyou doing alright there, sonny?âÂ
And he doesn't really know so he sorta shrugs so they pick him up and the man introduces himself as Jack and this is his wife Maddie and their two kids Danny and Jazz and they're just heading back from a camping trip and they can take him into town (Amity?) and take him down to the station and help him get things figured outÂ
The police take his picture and upload it to a âfoundâ database or smth but there's no active or recent cases in Ohio for missing persons (or teenagers) matching his descriptionÂ
(But also, Amity is pretty disconnected from the rest of the world digitally. They mind their business. Sure they run this boy's face in the newspaper and let the neighboring precincts about him but there's not much more they can do until this kid gets some memories back)
So he goes to stay with Jack and Maddie (idk how i donât care about LAWS) while they wait to see if they get any hits or until he gets some memories back and they register him under Alvin (âhmm maybe... Tom? No, definitely not. Caroline? Alvin? That sounds the best I guessâ) Fenton at the local high school so he can keep getting an education (and Alvin isnât sure why, but this sort of feels like a waste of time, he already knows all this math stuff and why would he want to read Of Mice and Men heâs pretty sure someone told him John Steinbeck was a hack. Or maybe not. He canât remember) but itâs simple enough and he likes the Fentons even if they keep trying to convince him ghosts are realÂ
And maybe they are. Actually. Real that is. He saw one the other day and had to double check if knowing ghosts were real is a common knowledge thing that he forgot of if he never knew in the first place. Jazz tells him that ghosts are pretty much an Amity specific thing but that they appear other places and then Jack and Maddie set him down and give him the entire history of ghosts that night and then show him their lab which is pretty cool
And maybe he accidentally suplexed someone who startled him in the halls on his first day and also fell asleep in science,but give him a break! heâs going through a lot right now
But his new brother roommate friend? Is helping him adjust at school by telling him who to avoid and what not to eat from the cafeteria and Jazz is in most of his classes but also heâs not sure why theyâre trying to act all sneaky about this Inviso-Bill/vigilante situation because like. Thatâs clearly just Danny with white hair? He looks the exact same? Also he literally saw Danny walk through the bathroom door last week if it wasnât obvious enough.
So Tim really isnât expecting Danny to be surprised that he picked up a thermos that Phantom dropped when he and his friends ran off to fight another ghost
#ted talks#dc x dp#dp x dc#idk which is what we use...#tim drake#danny phantom#anyways maddie and jack are his parents now :)#i also want you to imagine someone finally tracking tim down and theyâre like#âyour dad is looking for you!â and tim is like âjack??â and theyâre like âuh no jack is deadâ#and tim is like âJACK IS DEAD!?â#âtim we've been looking for you everywhere!!â#âwho's tim????â#anyways they have to get an antidote to actually reverse the effects of the amnesia probably#who else do we randomly give to bruce???#peter parker???#lets give jason to tony stark#im sure they'll have fun#cass can go live with peter and aunt may :)#billy batson has no parents#maybe he should adopt bruce#really twist things up

do skully have pokemon?
Pumpkaboo is the obvious one, but y'know, sometimes the obvious one is the right one! (we'll say SUPER SIZE Pumpkaboo, just for fun. big pumpkin for big skeleton boy.) and another person actually also suggested Greavard, which I somehow hadn't considered, but feels so perfect that I feel like I should have. dangit.

thinking of a new steddie fic/au hmmm.
Itâs just the classic, Steve buys weed from Eddie in season 1 era, he and Tommy meet him at the bench in the woods behind school. Steve and Eddie have some playful banter and clearly get along, but itâs dismissed as just a drug deal and they go on about their lives.
Next time they meet is when a frantic Steve comes and finds Eddie after heâs just fought off the demogorgon for the first time. Heâs rattled, and skittish, wearing a nasty black bruise on his eye, and just overall not acting like himself. He snaps at Eddie multiple times to just âhurry upâ and âget him his stuffâ, and sure heâs being an asshole, but more than anything Eddie is just concerned. He has never seen The King Steve Harrington lose his cool like this. So Eddie cautiously gives him the weed, making sure not to give too much, and lets him go about his day, but not before asking if heâs alright. Steve clearly wasnât expecting this and brushes it off defensively, but that doesnât mean heâs not thinking about it for the rest of his week. How the hell did Eddie Munson notice something was wrong, when his own parents didnât? Nor his âfriendsâ?
They cross paths again a year later, the beginning of season two. Steve is still with Nancy and has freshly dumped his old douchebag crew of superficial friends. He is still sitting quite comfortably on the higher ranks of popularity, but there is no denying his status is not what it used to be. He comes to buy weed from Eddie in the first week back at school, and itâs a casual interaction. Heâs still as charmingly stuck up as he ever was, but now without Tommy there to judge his every move, he seems a little more at ease when making casual conversation with Eddie. Eddie doesnât mention the year before and Steve is so glad for it, secretly very embarrassed that he went to Eddie for some refuge after arguably his most traumatic experience to date. He gets his stuff, giving Eddie a smirk when he notices heâs dropped the price significantly for Steve when itâs just him alone. Eddie gives him a challenging smile back, almost daring him to call it out, but he doesnât. They both just laugh and part ways.
The next run in is tinaâs halloween party. They notice eachother when Steve first arrives, making eye contact and giving a polite nod. Maybe Eddie lifts his drink up to Steve in a silly salute. They donât speak at all or make any effort to hang around eachother. That is, until Steve storms down the stairs in a rage after heâd gone up there with Nancy Wheeler. But then are those- tears? Eddie was standing on the front porch smoking a cigarette, trying to discreetly hide from one Billy Hargrove to avoid having to sell him anything, but staying visible enough that he wonât lose all chances of making any money tonight. Steve storms right past him and hits his shoulder. Eddie whips around and is about to call him a dick before he sees who it is.
Steve tries to quickly wipe his face, he wonât make eye contact with Eddie, and heâs clearly trying to get out as fast as he can. Eddie doesnât let him, though, since heâs obviously not thinking very clearly and is most likely about to do something emotional and stupid. He asks if Steveâs alright, and his answers are all short and rushed, so heâs definitely not. Theyâre not really friends, but Eddieâs not an asshole.
â âDid you drive?â Eddie asks
âYeahâ
âWell, youâre drunk, Steve. You canât get behind a wheel right now. And if I knowingly let you, then that makes me an accomplice. Iâll take you home.â
Steve tries to protest, attempting to push past him, but Eddie interjects. âYeah, yeah, alright! Donât thank me yet, Steveâo. This is not for you, see, Iâm not trying to get a criminal record, here. I cant go to prison, Steve. Do you know what theyâd do to a pretty guy like me in prison? Nope, letâs go hot stuff.â â
Eddie takes Steve home. They donât talk much. By the time they reach Steveâs drive way and Eddie has put his van in park, Steve is making no attempt to exit the vehicle just yet. Eddie doesnât know what to do, he didnât really plan this far, so heâs just tapping away awkwardly at his steering wheel while Harrington stares down the dashboard so clearly lost in thought Eddie fears his head might explode. Steve tells Eddie what happened, says itâs ârelationship troublesâ, and heâs not quite sure what compelled him into being so honest with Eddie Munson, but heâs blaming the alcohol. Eddie wasnât expecting that. They chat for a bit, Eddie makes Steve laugh and considers the whole night a success after that. Then they start cracking jokes about their shared hatred for Hargrove, and Steve looks and sounds a bit more ok to go inside. He thanks Eddie, quite sincerely actually, and it throws him a bit. He stutters a âyeah, for sure. Itâs no problem.â And Steve goes home.
After that, itâs a little different. Steve, doesnât actually really have anyone, anymore. When they go back to school heâs now greeting Eddie here and there in the hallways, making conversation when they find themselves alone together, in the lunch line or at the bathroom sink. He doesnât approach Eddie when thereâs too many people around, though. As much as heâs grown, Steve Harrington still carryâs some prejudice in him about how certain things may make him look. But it doesnât bother Eddie too much. Itâs not like they are really friends, theyâre just like, strange acquaintances. And Steve would never deny that they get along, that really Eddieâs ânot so badâ. So thatâs a win.
Steve finds Eddie again not long after the party to buy some more weed, a plan that sparked purely out of boredom. Eddie says yes, of course, but tells him if he wants it today he will need to wait till after school and meet Eddie at his place, since he was busy. So Steve takes a trip to the Munson trailer to make his deal. Eddie invites him inside and they sit together on the couch as he gets Steveâs bag ready. They end up making quite pleasant conversation, joking around and ultimately finding they are really enjoying each otherâs company. They enjoy it so much so, that Steve ends up smoking there, with Eddie. So now they are kind of like, hanging out? And itâs fun, so they do it again. Still theyâre not, friends friends, they just get along. Eddie just sells Steve weed sometimes and they keep it civil.
He doesnât hear from Steve for a while, and the next time he sees him itâs from a distance, in passing. The man has the most roughed up face Eddie has ever seen, bruised and swollen in multiple areas, stitches and bandages all over. Itâs really, concerning? completely metal, but alarming. This is the second time Eddie has seen the guy all beaten up like that. He knew that boys fight, but surely not that bad? As worried as he was, Eddie doesnât approach him to ask questions, because they donât know eachother like that. So he goes on about his day, and he doesnât see Steve again after that for quite some time.
Then itâs summer, Eddie isnât graduating again, and heâs not really sure what to do with himself over the break. The new mall has just opened up, and thereâs a cool music store up on the second floor that he likes to visit sometimes with his band friends. And wouldnât you know, working at the Scoops Ahoy located directly across from his favourite store, is Steve Harrington. The guy hasnât come to Eddie for any weed since last year, and then there was that sighting where he looked like heâd just fallen face first into a flying fist or two, so itâs been a minute since Eddieâs seen him. And heâd be lying if he said it wasnât a nice surprise. He only goes into scoops once. Heâs curious, okay? Sue him. And, he knows the girl who works with him, Robin. So he plays it off like he had no idea heâd see Steve there. And to his surprise, Steve actually acknowledges him. He doesnât act like Eddie is a total stranger just because theyâre not in school anymore. The interaction is quick, they make very casual conversation, Eddie says hi to Robin, grabs his milkshake and goes home. Thatâs all. He doesnât go back, and he doesnât really plan to. Steveâs nice, and he knows Eddieâs around if he needs to buy from him again, and thatâs really as far as their relationship goes. Thatâs all it ever was. Itâs been fun getting to know Steve Harrington a little bit better, even if it was just for a short time. Eddie liked having the chance to see in past the quaffed hair and pressed polo shirts to learn that Steve was really just a person under it all. He never thought heâd say it, but Harrington wasnât so bad. It was a nice little eye opening experience for Eddie.
Eddie was ready to write off his little blips of interaction with Steve Harrington as a thing of the past, no hard feelings, and move on with his life. That is, until he gets a knock at his front door in the middle of the night afew days after the big mall fire. And itâs Steve on the other side. And he looks awful, his face is the worst Eddieâs ever seen it. And he wasnât really knocking, more like pounding. He says he needs Eddieâs help.
