#but yeah it can be wholesome too

[huginsmemory]

Reading journal 3 again is a reminder that... Well Ford is kinda an asshole towards Fiddleford. It's not just Stan. Like he's so focused on himself and his project and his ambition that anyone/thing else blurs out (him disregarding Fiddleford's nervousness around the gremloblin because he wants to sketch it, and when it goes sideways, him talking about the safety of the project parts BEFORE how Fiddleford was doing in his journal, multiple times. Priorities much?) and he's demeaning towards Fiddleford's own project (which ends up being wayyyy more important then Ford's discoveries)... Like damn Fiddleford, u left ur wife and young son for this guy?

[theenbyroiderer]

Encountered something way too wholesome about setting goals and perseverance and achievement... so made a little schematic (in good old Paint lol) of what actually tends to happen whenever I set any goals.

Beerus happens to be one of my favorite Dragonball characters and I fully ignore ANY of the dumb decisions the Super Anime made with his character at times.

Hey Ein❣️❣️✨✨🥺💖💜💞💞💕❤️‍🔥 THANK YOU FOR PLAYING WITH ME✨☁️⛅️

AND ALSO I SEE YOU READ MY PART 1 CRINGE X’D

THANK YOU❣️❣️❤️‍🔥✨😭☀️⭐️

Anyway, I want to ask these to your cutie trio❣️❣️❣️✨👀

Has Kana ever made Hibari laugh?

Which canon character annoys Kurumi the most?

Who was someone Yui didn’t like at first but got along with later?

Thank you so much in advance❣️✨🥺🌺🌺🌺

Thank you for sending this for my cutie trio Brina! 🥹💜✨ Sorry it's late ueueue but here you go!

Who was someone Yui didn’t like at first but got along with later?

Yui didn't like Gokudera a lot when they first met. It's mainly because of their very different approaches to being the right-hand man for their respective bosses. As we all know lol Gokudera takes becoming and being the right-hand man very seriously (maybe too much? 😆).

Then there's Yui who's just chilling on the side, even asking his "boss" to help him carry big metal parts for his robot projects or even using his other "boss" as bait/shield to get away from Hibari (when he sometimes accidentally breaks school property). Gokudera often calls him out for it when he can, and it does grind on Yui's gears a bit.

Eventually (around Future Arc?), he does develop a neutral outlook to him. It was around that time that he kind of starts being a bit serious to adapt to the situation, just a little bit though hehe~

Which canon character annoys Kurumi the most?

For this one, I already answered it here! But yeah, it's Naito 😆

Has Kana ever made Hibari laugh?

If chuckles or snickers or sneers count, then yes, she does (unintentionally 🤣).

**A small fun fact is that, if you can get Fuuta to rank all of Oniyanagi's members by luck, Kana would end up at dead bottom. It's just not noticeable because she has the raw skills to sidestep it, but there will still be a few cases where her shit luck does get her.

During a chase, they end up jumping over roofs and it just happens that the roof Kana landed on is not on the sturdy side. She falls through it and when she looks above as she lies on the rubble, she sees Hibari trying to keep himself from snickering before immediately going in for an elbow drop (tonfa equipped). Kana evades it of course, but still this unlucky event + that smug look on his face kinda pisses her off lol

[ssreeder]

Sorry if you’ve answered this before but do you have any idea of how many chapters into the fire will end up being or how the ending will pan out? (Also I love you and the world you’ve created thanks for being awesome <333)

I have answered this before, but I feel it changes day to day lol… ITF is about ummm halfway? It will absolutely be the largest fic of the three, but it has to be in order to bring this thing to a proper close. I could realistically do a fourth book but fuck it I am sticking to the original plan of three. I have the ending completely planned and most of the epilogue figured out as well… I will admit the only thing I don’t have completely planned out is the nitty-gritty details that tend to unfold as the story happens? So as the battle begins who knows how characters will react or what emotions will come up so I like to keep things loose with that to give the characters room to breathe.

But yeah! I do have an ending and I have all the MAJOR events planned, so any twists & turns along the way are already set in motion :)

(I love you thank you for sending me this ask you’re amazing)

Edit: Updated 12/23/24

Okay—~⭐️!!

I promised I would share about some of my AU for Dr. Starline, and even though I’ve decided to rework a few things to make sure I’m making the story as good as I can make it, here’s a bit of it.

(…WHO AM I KIDDING, THERE’S A LOT OF IT. But please give it a read anyways!)

I don’t really have a name for this AU, yet (if anyone has any ideas, please let me know!) I’ve officially dubbed this AU The Starpoint Squad. Act 1 follows the competition, which starts off a few years before the IDW comics.

⭐️ Premise: Dr. Starline enters a competition of inventors and innovators with the hopes of using it to gain Eggman’s attention, and finds something there that he was not expecting to.

As I have it, Starline is very much like his canon self from his introduction.

He’s smart, haughty, and a genius lone wolf, aspiring to be like his idol and wanting to be acknowledged by and work alongside him more than anything.

At this point, he’s already attempted to get the Doctor’s attention multiple times over the years, but has had little luck each time. However, this competition has a big, esteemed tech name backing it, and he expects Eggman will be closely paying attention to it as a result. It’s the perfect opportunity to get him on his radar.

He joins the competition, quite sure of himself that he can win first place all by himself. But, upon getting past the prelims, to his chagrin, he learns that in order to continue, he has to form a team.

Of course, Starline—being both a genius and coming from a wealthy and prestigious background—sees this as a detriment, as he has a profound reluctance to work with others due to believing all to be beneath him. So he’s not thrilled.

But, he’s not ready to give up his dream yet, so he decides the best course of action is to team up with people who he thinks have potential, but can also be the easiest to manipulate into doing what he wants.

⭐️ (Side Note: He does not have his hypno glove at this point. That would make things too easy.)

This lands him on Rivet, a cat whom he met in the prelims, her brother Charge, a tiny rat named Hex, his bulldog friend Lug, and a firefly named Cello.

Starline assigns himself as the leader of the group, due to his elevated knowledge and experience in the three fields they’re working with— robotics, chemistry, and biology. But as he attempts to get them on board to.. essentially let him run the whole show, tensions and conflicts quickly mount as they begin to push back.

At his wits end after a few days of arguments and fights, with three members threatening to drop out, he finally asks Rivet and Charge for advice, seeing as they’ve been a team for a very long time, despite being so different. They explains to him that teamwork is a give and take, having to do primarily with trust. Which is where his problem lies. Starline has no trust in them, and is doing none of the give, and all of the take.

He haughtily asks ‘why he should listen to what ‘lesser intelligent’ people have to say,’ to which they tell him that ‘everyone has value and worth, and if he gives people a chance, they might just surprise him.’

Despite his upbringing teaching him otherwise, Starline understands continuing as he has been will sink his plan, so he begrudgingly complies and changes his tactics.

He seeks out each team member to learn about why they’re here, and why they’re fighting him.

And what he come to finds surprises him, as they all have valid reasons for being here. For getting mad at him.

They’ve been dismissed, ignored, or talked down to by others before because ‘this interest wasn’t what their family wanted them to do’, or because they were ‘too young to do anything worthwhile’. Those who are here to support their loved ones, and help to change the world, don’t want to be part of a team that doesn’t believe in their value.

Their reasonings are more meaningful than Starline thought they would be at first. And in a weird way, he empathizes with those wanting to prove themselves, and can respect those who will fight for a fair trial. So while his reasons for doing so are still very much selfish, he decides to encourage them and begrudgingly dial back control to give them the room to prove themselves.

And to his surprise, they do! They prove themselves more than capable with some positive affirmation, and as the weeks progress, the fighting stops, and he finds they work… surprisingly well together.

Despite himself, Starline slowly finds himself starting to loosen up, tentatively coming to enjoy having them all around.

He’s not used to having someone he can properly debate complex scientific topics and formulas with without losing or boring them.

He’s not used to having a little shadow following him around, eagerly wanting to learn all he can from him.

He’s not used to being shown things from a different perspective, discovering value in the little things the lower class wants to protect.

He’s not used being dragged out of his lab by a certain purple cat to eat lunch with the team. Not used to people caring about what he has to say, happily willing to listen to him ramble on about his interests.

It’s… nice. It’s… welcomed. By the competition’s end, Starline nearly considers them to be his friends, reflecting on their time together and seeing how far they’ve come.

But there’s still the matter of Eggman.

This is his struggle. His Achilles heel, so to speak.

Throughout the competition, Starline’s goal never changes.

Despite his closeness with the team, he never truly is open with them. Never tells them his real reason for being here.

They know it’s to gain the attention and recognition of someone important to him. They’ve heard his excited rants about this ‘genius�� and all the brilliant and inspiring things he’s done.

But they don’t know it’s Eggman.

Starline works hard to keep his affinity on the downlow, not wanting to sabotage his chances of winning due to getting kicked out prematurely by his team, or the other competitors.

He’s dead set on achieving his goal, no matter what he has to do. It’s what he’s worked for his entire career, after all. Eggman made him who he is. He can’t simply just let this opportunity slip through his fingers.

But as the day approaches; as he gets closer and closer with the squad, that surety begins to fade, and doubt and guilt slowly begin to creep in.

He finds himself asking himself if he can he really bring himself to betray those who have treated him so well. Who look up to him and recognize his genius. Who he’s spent so much time with and whom they believe is their friend.

Can he really bring himself to build them up, only to let them take the fall and shatter their dreams come competition’s end?

He knows if they find out the truth, they’ll turn on him. They’ll cast him aside.

Just like everyone else.

And yet…

….

He sees that by getting too close, he’s caught himself in a trap. His goal prevents him from being able to be as open and honest as he might like. Keeps him from being closer to Rivet like he knows they both want. Keeps him from seeing that everything he wants so desperately is standing right there in front of him.

Ultimately though, when it all comes to the big day, when a plot is uncovered that threatens to not only upset the competition, but put the entire region in danger, Starline is met with a choice. Join the threat and possibly salvage his dream? Or let it go to save his team from getting hurt?

And as he makes his final decision, he finds himself thinking to himself in mild amusement,

“I’ve gone soft.”

(…But that’s a story for another time ;)

(If she ever gets patrons who tend to make frequent 'appearances' on the news, how often does she recognize them, and how awkward are those interactions? Does she ever report them to the GCPD or feel tempted to do so?)

send me questions you have about my character!

You'd think a waitress in a demanding job would at least have a somewhat decent memory when it comes to recognizing faces but honestly? Khare has a horrible memory and isn't likely to start remembering faces unless they are REALLY distinct (or have visited enough times for their appearance to register in her brain). Seeing the Joker himself strolling in and ordering up some pancakes is the most you can expect for her to acknowledge there's a serious fucking situation on hand but after that? Forget it, she's not likely to make the connection.

However, this is Gotham so chances are that at least somebody's going to rock up at the diner in their costume. Khare may be so preoccupied about getting their order right that... you know, it's going to take a minute or two to catch on that something's not right about their appearance, but she can't quite put a finger on it. Alexa, play the Jeopardy! Think Music! It's probably more awkward for the patron visiting that everything is so calm - The waitress isn't screaming bloody murder or jamming the silent call button beneath the counter to alarm the police that trouble is there, she's just smiling and doing her best to remember their order, just as they want it but on the off chance she does recognize somebody... she really, really doesn't want to call the GCPD and cause a scene, because really, nothing's happened.... yet, and the thought of police taking her statement and asking awkward questions is a far more frightening prospect than the Mad Hatter asking for a pot of tea, because... you know, she's an illegal immigrant at this point, and if she calls the police, who's to say she's not joining them in jail after her shift ends? Having a bad memory makes life difficult but in Khare's case, it might have saved more than a few potentially dangerous situations from blowing up as a hungry rogue gets a tasty meal without any screaming or overhearing any hushed calls begging the GCPD to arrive, because even criminals need to eat and boy, do most people feel a lot better after getting a proper meal inside them!

[unreadpoppy]

I have a question:

Was 'Blade of Frontiers' a name that Wyll picked for himself or did people just start calling him that?

[fitzrove]

I think I'm struggling creatively because as time goes on I find less and less motivation to write (and read, tbh!) stuff that's

good wholesome queer representation

escapist everything-gets-better fantasy ("because life is hard enough why would you write about miserable things")

palatable to people who disagree with me

And obviously I'm nowhere near finishing even a single original thing yet ahdfhajf but I've been looking at publishing videos that people who have experience in the industry have made and. Man no wonder that so much milquetoast stuff gets put out nowadays

[khaothanawat]

what i appreciate about midnight motel is that it’s super fast paced, in a really engaging and hilarious way, but it’s also slipping out details about the characters in what feels like the slowest way possible.

the details get fed to us in tiny slithers, flashing unobtrusively up onto the screen in between the beats of the main story - and that makes the pacing of those reveals feel dissonant to the rest of the episode in a really cool way.

and it’s fascinating because it feels like they’re just leaking out small drips of information and then not talking about them again.

but because this is a dark comedy, it’s so hard to know how seriously to take it all - like, are these tiny bits of character story clues as to what’s actually going on? or should we just be taking it at face value, for the wild heightened reality it is?

we’re halfway through and there are all these tiny little plot threads that are appearing without being resolved - like who has pat’s money, what was up with that conversation between mote and doy about kat, who is the boss, what the fuck even happened to pat exactly. also why could tawi from not me track pat’s car, but not his PHONE? bitch, you don’t have find my friends on? also i have questions on literally everything involving sun and kat. so so many questions. also is mote really a teenager bc off jumpol is my age and i look youngish but “teen” is a stretch and like… off… off, my hetero husband, i swear i’m gonna save you from being cast as a teenager one day like i KNOW you’re talented but you don’t deserve to be teencoded like this like i’m gonna help i’m gonna get you out of here-

i’m just so curious as to whether i should be paying closer attention or not to the little things the show has been quietly telling us, or if it’s simply better to just go with it, because it’s a 6-episode comedy that repeatedly breaks the fourth wall, and why think about it too hard.

[deus-and-the-machina]

I havent really been into the current state of the JJK manga for a while, im at the point where its ending might hold some value for me as someone who was already invested in the characters but largely aside from seeing how a few things pan out I just really really couldn't care less. 

that being said I have to thank gege for every new chapter giving us more and more good looking Gojos. the more feral and covered in blood the better, and hoo boy am I getting that.

[egg-emperor]

can't even self ship in peace anymore without someone getting mad about how I write Eggman. had someone ask very personal questions over some concepts involving degradation and him killing me like "are you suicidal" and "you must have low self worth" then block me over it lol

I'm writing him in fucking character once again why isn't that allowed? sorry that I don't believe the egotistical selfish greedy bastard would treat me with more value and respect than that when it would feel uncharacteristic to me and I want him as an f/o in character because that's how I love him best

and I'm just talking about how I want him to treat me this time instead of a character you like, how is even that a problem too now ahajgnsbglsbgka please I really can't do shit freely without random people inserting themselves into my business so they can make it into their problem huh. just let me have fun!!

[cloudsrust]

Oh- the intimacy of doing each others make-up, fingers not daring to graze the skin for support even as the hand keeps trembling. Is it the brush or is that moment in which time as stopped that weights so? The answer is obvious but disregarding it just feels like the comfier option, at least for now-

And oh- the passion used to paint a loved one's portrait, questioning each stroke and line. So many emotions and thoughts to fill the brush but so little space to describe them. After all they're so much more than that single gaze, that single smile, that single expression-

o h .

[justsomeweirdbandkid]

Ok no I LIED I'm going to rant about him lovingly in the tags even more

[dnpvtw]

[ID: Three photos of a magazine. Image one: the front cover of Your Ex magazine, featuring Dan and Phil posing side by side.

Image two: a page spread with four photos that feature Dan and Phil posing side by side, where they have a neutral expression, smiles, are flipping the camera off, and are pointing and laughing at the camera respectively. In the middle of the photos, a caption reads: "Dan & Phil: A Wholesome Influence".

Image three: A magazine article with a byline that reads: "The UK YouTube stars sit down with YOUR ex to discuss instant chemistry, their relationship status and surviving a homophobic online gaming world."

The content of the article reads: "Their last tour was the biggest world tour a duo of YouTubers had ever embarked on. After a content-creating hiatus, Dan and Phil returned to YouTube for more heartwarming gay chemistry and gags, plus an even more ambitious world tour that brings them to Auckland this December! Talking to Oliver Hall, they reflect on where it all began.

Hall: When you met in 2009, how quickly did you know you wanted to collaborate, and was your chemistry instant?

P: We kind of met with the intent to collaborate!

D: Which was a huge risk. I was literally a stranger from the internet. I could have axe-murdered him - or worse, just been a flop person to collab with.

P: I think the chemistry was pretty instant, as our first ever video together was the iconic 'Phil is not on fire' cat whisker Q&A.

D: Your faves could never.

Hall: You both came out as gay in respective YouTube videos in June 2019. How long had you been planning that for, and what inspired it in June of that year?

D: I literally only decided it was finally time to confront my sexuality in 2018. I felt like I couldn't function any more in my life until I dealt with it, as the inauthenticity was holding back every part of me. It took me literally months of writing a script to work through my own feelings regarding that sexuality, and June was my deadline!

P: I don't yap as much as Dan, so I didn't take that long - but it was amazing to finally be open about that part of my life with pride, and I instantly felt I could be myself, and we know it meant so much to people online too.

Hall: Do you feel your followers have treated you any differently since coming out?

D: It hit different.

P: It definitely did, but the support was amazing! I'm sure for some people it might have been an unexpected plot twist... but if they had a problem with it, oh well, bye!

D: We have created an incredibly inclusive community where people of all identities feel welcome, and it makes me shed a single tear from my cold, dead heart - as it's the kind of vibe I wish I had when I was younger.

Hall: DanAndPhilGAMES has been one of your most popular YouTube channels with over 3 million subscribers at its peak, suggesting there was a gap in the market for LGBTQ+ gaming content. Do you feel 'gaymers' are catered for now?

P: Sometimes we try to think who the other biggest queer YouTubers, or more specifically gamers are, and suddenly we realise, in the club of biggest ever internet personalities, it's disturbingly uncommon!

D: We love gaming and reluctantly identify as gamers, but they gotta be one of the mustiest demographics of humans if we're stereotyping. To be able to make content around one of our favorite pastimes - and do it with our unhinged, inherently gay humour - is honestly an act of defiance we're proud to continue.

Hall: Do you think the gaming community has become less homophobic in the years since you started that channel?

D: It has. It's not exactly perfect yet - but we have to be honest about how much worse it used to be.

P: Social media lets people find their own communities, so rather than being chucked in a CoD (Call of Duty) lobby to fight for your life, people can join queer gaming discord communities or make friends on Twitter (X), and that's amazing!

Hall: The two of you have lived together since 2011. How do you avoid getting on each other's nerves when you create so much content together as well?

D: We avoid getting on each other's nerves?

P: We spend way too much time together. It's not normal.

D: If we had more friends and liked going outside, we could have some healthier separation, but damn, RIP us.

Hall: You have been creating content together for well over a decade, how do you keep that content fresh?

P: The gay awakening certainly helped. It was like flipping a brown rug over and seeing a rainbow underneath.

D: It's a new era of 'Dan and Phil' on YouTube where we're all older, most of us are some kind of gayer and we don't really GAF (give a f**k) - we're enjoying it a lot, and we can tell for our audience it's been an amazing reunion where we're loving it more than ever before.

Hall: Why did you want to return to creating YouTube content in 2023 after your hiatus?

D: Phil convinced me that everyone was less feral and it would be fun.

P: I was like, why not! He can always disappear to get milk again if he hates it - but it turned out people loved it, and here we are.

Hall: Your previous two world tours were some of the biggest ever to be put on by YouTube creators. What can we expect from 'Terrible Influence'?

D: We said we wouldn't do a tour that huge again, and it's almost the biggest one we've ever done.

P: Thoughts and prayers, please, I'm a fragile boy.

D: It's gonna be healing. It's us audaciously stepping into this new era and ripping a bunch of plasters off that will leave people hopefully crying in laughter and the occasional shocked gasp.

P: You know we're going to bring the theatricality as well! There's lots of 'surprises' as well as the audience involvement and a healthy roast of the internet.

Hall: Aside from your YouTube videos, you have had groundbreaking success as authors, radio hosts and on comedy tours. Has that been a shock, and how do you process that success without it going to your respective heads?

D: Internet comment sections will always do a good job of bringing you down a peg - thankfully, I'm also very talented at doing that to myself.

P: Very wholesome, Dan, thanks. We're extremely grateful that so many people get joy from laughing along with us and find our community a hilarious and accepting place to be. As long as we love doing it and there's an audience that asks for more, we will be here!

Hall: You have previously suggested that the two of you were once romantically involved but not confirmed if you still are. Would you like to give us an update on your respective dating statuses?

D: No. Mind your business.

P: Dan means we have a right to personal life privacy in every way - we're here to entertain, not be reality stars! Thanks." /end ID]
