I Just Wanted To Feed Some Ducks, For Christ's Sake

Wade was just having a @poolverine-week Day 4: First Date with Logan, when out of nowhere, a close-minded jerkwad of a dad decides to harass them! He deals with it in typical Deadpool fashion, but accidentally reveals something about himself along the way. Will Logan still love him? Or will he hate him forever and ever and never, ever talk to him again??

(...Spoiler alert: everything was fine. Psh, I wasn't even worried!! Why'd you think I'd ever be worried...?)

Content Warnings: Homophobia and Transphobia (directed at logan and wade)

Read it under the cut, or on ao3!

This was probably the happiest Deadpool had been in about a decade… and all he was doing was throwing corn and peas at ducks at the park!! Oh, but his Logan was there, and today, that made all the difference. 

A couple days ago, they’d exchanged their first “I love you”s, kissed each other until their lips got sore, and signed marriage documents. That third one would’ve only been true if he’d taken Vanessa’s advice at face value, sure- but it was official now!! Deadpool and Wolverine were an item. No queerbaiting, no sending one partner to superhell, and not an ounce of homophobia to be found! This story would be really short, because it was honestly just an excuse for Wade to tell all you guys that he was feeding ducks with Wolvie right now. Wasn’t that an adorable thought in these trying times? He sure was glad no one was gonna ruin it, and he could just lean against him and kiss him on the cheek all cutely-

“Hey, what the hell-? You can’t be doing that around my kids!!”

FUCK.

Okay, Wade, calm down. Maybe there’s some other weirdo who decided to waltz over here naked or something, and that’s who he’s talking to? 

No- no, this guy was walking over to them- and there goes that cute little smile on Logan’s face. Why does this author keep making us deal with shit like this…? I just wanted to feed some ducks, for Christ’s sake!

“I don’t remember asking you, dickhead,” Logan grumbled lowly, and Wade would recognize that tone anywhere… That was only ever how he spoke if he was seconds away from introducing the claws to someone’s face!! He needed to humble this Karen-in-training now, before his peanut gave that guy a real reason to get them kicked out!!

The rando who thought he was the king of this public park scoffed at the show of aggression, crossing his arms. “No, listen to me!! I don’t care if you two want to be freaks in private, but I won’t have my children seeing this nonsense-“

“Nonsense?? We’re just feeding some ducks, lady!!” Wade interjected, stepping in between both the fuming, borderline rabid monster man and Logan. “I know that sounds concerning, but that bucket’s full of mixed vegetables! No white bread here, we know that’s bad for them, so I promise your kids won’t pick up any bad habits-“

“God, shut up!! You know exactly what I’m talking about- this gay shit… ” he hissed, as if ‘gay’ was a four-letter word or something, while gesturing at them as though they were some spectacle. He really could’ve picked… any of their other adventures, if spectacle was what he wanted. He was clearly new here, since Deadpool knew he’d gotten a lot fruitier than this!! But whatever- so much for no homophobia, right?

“Oh, come on!! ” Wade said, in the middle of a few barks of laughter. “ That’s the problem you have with us?? In the year of our lord 2024… I mean, I’m a fucking merc, and you’ll probably find out what’s going on with my super-friend here if you keep bugging us,” he quipped, smirking at how fucking pissed Logan looked. He’d have no problem calming him down later, if you know what I mean… ;) But he was honestly curious- what lore was behind the stick up this man’s ass?

“Please, though, tell me how me giving this little guy a little kissy-kissy affects your children, who are currently throwing handfuls of dirt at each other 200 feet away from us where they can’t possibly see us,” Wade snarked, scratching Logan’s head as said little guy continued growling threateningly at the man. “Easy now, tiger…” he soothed, to absolutely no avail.

The loving, accepting individual in front of them cringed at the exchange before them, nearly looking ready to spit on Wade. Hey, he’d gladly open his mouth for him!! “You don’t see a single problem with this?? Ignoring how fucked up whatever that guy’s doing to me is-“

“I’ll show you fucked up, you sad, bigoted waste of-“

“Hey, hey!! We’re having a civil conversation here, Logan- I am so sorry. He’s not used to new faces, but I’ve been working on socializing him-“ Wade joked again, shutting up as soon as he felt the pricks of his claws brush his hand. They had to keep it cool, blood-free and stuff, because they had to think of the kids, right??

“-I don’t want my, or any other kid, going around thinking it’s okay for two men to be treating each other like women! God, you two are sick…”

Immediately, a lightbulb went off in Wade’s head. Without thinking, he said exactly what was on his mind, because oh my god it sounded so fucking funny to him- 

“Well… how do you know I’m not a woman?”

Dead silence followed his statement. Logan wasn’t even snarling at the dude anymore, and the dude himself was looking at him like Tails did in that one MS Paint comic panel that made him crack up every time he saw it. Fucking brilliant.

“…Because you have a penis?? What kind of question is that, you freak?!” he yelled, and Wade felt Logan tense up in defense once again.

“Woah, woah- and how do you know that?? Get your mind out of my pants- and maybe yourself away from this lake, if you want to keep your… everything intact,” he said, tightening the arm he had around his honey badger as he glared daggers into this dickwad. Truthfully, he was this close to just letting him go- it’d be so funny!! Except his kids were supposedly here, so…

“Ohh my fucking-“ The male Karen- Kyle?- whoever he was- his brain was officially broken. Wade loved to see it!! “Just- get out!! Degenerates like you shouldn’t be allowed anywh- HOLY SHIT!!”

Snikt!! Oh, that was one of Wade’s Top 3 Favorite Sounds Of All Time for sure… and the full flash of claws from Logan finally had this dude running away with his nonexistent tail between his legs. “Awh, good boy!!” Wade praised, patting his back affectionately. “You showed him, didn’t you-?”

“Just… just shut up,” Logan said, though there wasn’t any anger in his voice anymore. Just exhaustion- and confusion? Oh… oh no… “Let’s just go home, okay, bub?”

Wade furrowed his brows- if they left now, it meant that guy won, didn’t it? But then he realized, once again- that “joke” about him possibly being a woman? Not nearly as much of a joke, as it turned out!! Did… Did Logan even know about stuff like this? Shit, he might’ve said too much in the heat of the moment… This could be bad.

“Yeah… yeah, peanut. Let’s go…”

—

An awkward silence settled over them both as they walked home. Quite unusual, since usually Wade was yapping about anything and everything whenever they’d go anywhere, even before this little date of theirs!! But he wasn’t in the mood for that- he didn’t even reach for his hand, when he’d been holding it the entire time while they were walking here. He was too anxious over what Logan must think of him now… or maybe he was worried over nothing, and Logan did really just take it as a joke? Wade really hoped that was the case…

Logan abruptly stopped in his tracks, right before they got to their apartment complex, and turned to face Wade. “Wanna tell me what that was about, bub?” he rasped, his tone just accusatory enough to have his blood pressure spiking.

“That Karen??” Wade said, hoping beyond hope that that’s what he meant. “Oh, just a dipshit in public, and you didn’t actually hurt him, so we’re probably fine-“

“No, Wade. What you said. About…” Logan shook his head, tilting his head at Wade with his brow furrowed in confusion… and concern? “…I’m sorry, I just gotta know if you… meant that. If you’d rather I call you… are- are you trans or something??”

…Okay, that was close , and technically correct- but no, Wade wasn’t a woman. Not entirely, anyways... Logan didn’t seem disgusted by the idea, so that part of Wade’s worries was able to shut up!! But… god, this was gonna get even more confusing. “I… well…” Wade paused for a second, trying to figure out how to put this.

“Not judging you here, bub. Just… trying to make sure, so I didn’t accidentally-“

“No- no!! I’m not- well… okay, you’re gonna have to stay with me here, peanut. Alright?” Wade asked, his gaze flitting away from Logan and suddenly finding the cracks in the sidewalk very, very interesting. The gruff man slowly nodded, looking at him patiently.

“I’m not… not a man. But I’m also… not not a woman, either? I might also be some secret third thing, don’t worry about it- just, I don’t really even care that much!! Trust me!! It’s just…” Wade nervously chuckled- it seemed so simple in his mind, but Logan had to be so confused right now, right? “…You don’t gotta change anything with my name or nothing, it’s just- a long while back, I kinda figured out that… my gender, it’s… more complex than just a man?? If that makes any sense…?”

Logan was looking at Wade, trying to decipher his words. As soon as Wade saw that face, his heart dropped- he knew that would all be too much too soon… Maybe he should just pretend he was joking after all? It’d be much easier that way-

“…Okay? I can’t say I’ve heard of that before, but… Wade. You know I don’t give a fuck, right?” For a moment, Wade glanced up at Logan, really hoping he wasn’t calling him ridiculous or anything. It was always hard to explain this to people, which is why he usually just… didn’t! But Logan wouldn’t have let him lie about it… he never let him lie about anything anymore!! Something about being able to “smell when he’s lying” or some shit?

“That- no, that sounded bad, what I’m trying to say is…” Logan reached forward to grab his hand again, and Wade felt his heart calm down and fill itself with butterflies at the same damn time. “If… if that’s what you are, I don’t mind. Whatever it is- you know what, just throw the Wikipedia page at me if it has a name, okay?”

Genderfluid. Wade had figured that out with Vanessa long ago, and learning what that meant, why he felt like he fit in with both men and women- but also neither category truly felt like… him? Her? Them, even-? was a massive breath of fresh air at the time. And… Logan was willing to learn. All for him…? Oh, he knew he’d picked right!! Thank God he hadn’t picked the vaguely problematic Logan from the early comic days on accident or something…

“You… you mean it, Logan? I didn’t just blow your mind in a bad way…?” Wade huffed uncomfortably, still not quite believing what he’d just said.

“Ah,” Logan waved off his concerns, stepping closer to give him a hug. Oh, he could cry- Logan hugs were the best… “You’re still Wade, aren’t ya? We’re mutants- people like him hate us for a lot of reasons. Just because I don’t understand something… doesn’t mean it’s any of my business. And- bub…” He stepped back a bit, giving Wade that soft, caring look that always melted his heart. “I’ll try my best to understand. For your sake, alright? I love you…”

Wade genuinely smiled, for the first time since that shitbag ruined their nice day out. “I love you too, peanut. Thanks… really. This means a lot…” he muttered, squeezing him tight before he pulled away.

In return, Logan gave Wade’s hand a tight squeeze. God- always had to try and break his fingers, huh? “No problem, bub…” He muttered something under his breath, making Wade’s heart skip a beat since it sounded suspiciously like, “You mean a lot, so…”

With that heartwarming coming-out story out of the way, they walked back to their apartment as though nothing had happened… and in a way, it really hadn’t!

Because they had each other, didn’t they? And no one's stupid opinion of them would get in the way of their love, no matter how loud and annoying they were about it…

Augh. Thinking about the limbo au and y’know what still gets me? He didn’t ask to use it

Marm traded up to the overworld orb, took them to the portal, used it while hoping it would work for them both, and not once did Avid ask to go first. Or even hold it

It would’ve been the logical thing to do. You’ve been stuck in superhell the longest, you should take advantage of the only way out, right? This timeline was right during the ossha arc where Avid embraced being the bad guy to keep his friends safe and get out of limbo, I was half-expecting him to give into selfish tendencies and ask to use it first

But he didn’t

They tossed around the possibility of only one escaping (more so from Avid not surviving the dangers or his own stupid actions+), but they lived to see their hard work pay off, and somewhere along the way: Avid had to consider a choice

If the orb worked for one person, he could snatch his only chance at freedom— at the cost of Marm being stuck instead. Or he could let Marm go, at the cost of himself being trapped again. If the orb got them both out, no sweat no problem. But that wasn’t a guarantee. They didn’t know for sure

Anyways remember the signs he had in the tube room?

Don’t let them see. Keep them safe. Escape Limbo

The damn void snitched on him, Marm saw enough and dragged him back to superhell to get the other half of his soul out. He couldn’t wrap his head around why she’d even bother. “We can’t leave you in there” I can’t leave you there. To her, Avid didn’t deserve that imprisonment, no matter how detached he seemed to be of his other half, every part of him was worth saving. She was reaching a hand in the darkness to pull him out. She kept trying even after he swatted it away multiple times. After a thousand years, here was a complete soul willing to face the consequences to set him free (the second one anyways, did he deserve that second chance?)

He failed keeping her away from that wretched place, but he did his best to fight off mobs and monsters, and built a temporary home to shelter them from the horrors. They were a great team! They watched each other’s backs and strategized their way through most obstacles. They kept each other safe— to the best of their ability anyways

When it was time to escape…ironically, it seems like Marm’s words twisted back to her

I can’t leave you here. This is my superhell, not yours

He really wanted to believe the orb would let them both out, but he never had it in him to switch places with Marm

I don't want to call out any responses in particular, so I won't. but on the subject of exile textually taking place for several months (as stated by the characters in roleplay) I just !

find it Extremely Strange that the constant reaction to that is that tommy's perception of time is unreliable and therefore we should work off of the assumption that it's wrong.

like don't get me wrong, that could Absolutely be an intentional aspect of a story about mental health and trauma. loss of time is a really common symptom, for instance. I struggle with the passage of time a lot when my mental health gets bad in a certain way.

but it's strange to me because the fandom Only does this with tommy.

wilbur says that he spent 9 years in superhell and this is taken unquestionably at face value, even as the fandom refuses to age him up to reflect this. the entire Idea of what limbo is and what it does to people was changed to accommodate wilbur's description of it. and it's just taken for granted that wilbur's perception of his time there is completely 100% correct.

and I'm not saying that we Should start questioning it, but being in an infinite void with absolutely no contact with the outside world that never changes seems far more disorienting time-wise than like. living on a beach where you can see the sun rise and fall every day.

but it's Assumed that wilbur must know while it's insisted over and over again that tommy's own perception cannot be trusted.

and this is all Especially weird because ! tommy Wasn't the only person who referenced the amount of time that passed. dream was very much so Also there. when tommy commented on going without a visitor for days at a time (outside of dream himself) dream would agree. when tommy referenced weeks dream would agree.

and yes, dream put the Gaslight in girlboss. he very much so Wants tommy to be out of touch with reality and unsteady on his feet. but you'd think pointing Out that discrepancy would Be The Point.

when tommy hallucinated tubbo dream was there to tell him that his perception of reality was wrong. that tommy should stop listening to his own mind and start listening to dream instead. that when dream tells him that something happened one way then it Did regardless of what he thinks he remembers.

so if tommy really Was wrong, if his perception of time in exile was off by Literal Months. you'd think dream would've taken Advantage of that instead of just. letting it slide.

it's just Strange that this appears to be a double standard. people don't even argue that Fundy's perception of time is wrong when he insists that he's been on vacation for a full year after like, a month long break from streaming.

Very Incoherent Rambling Regarding The Reality War

Anita working for the time hotel had basically no foreshadowing especially since there has not been one Joy to the World reference since that episode.

Anita being pregnant with some unknown man's child is dumb when she clearly had a thing for the Doctor.

I was never a Rogue fan but c'mon. Dude does not deserve to be trapped in gay superhell with Castiel.

Archie Panjabi was great as the Rani but her plan was so stupid.

The Doctor could've provided DNA, River could've, The Master could've, Jenny could've, clearly Susan could've since they keep hinting that she's still alive.

Speaking of which they did nothing with Susan despite having been setting her up since the Devil's Chord.

They've been setting up the Pantheon forever and and that played almost no factor.

Over 30 years of waiting for the Rani to return and she gets eaten less than halfway through.

Coincidentally, it's the brown Rani that gets eaten and not the super ooc white one. (No shade to Anita Dobson. She's a queen)

Also, Last of the Time Lords is so stupid when you consider all the people I listed earlier. The Doctor and the Master have both known the Monk is alive for centuries!

Speaking of which, the Doctor had no reaction to one of his childhood best friends being eaten by Omega? Babes, you cry about the Master every five seconds. Give a reaction to Ushas' death.

Literally any allusion to the Deca would've been nice. I realise it's unlikely but they barely even hinted that the Doctor and the Rani knew each other. They gave Mel and the Rani more context than the Doctor.

Mel was wasted again. Poor girl needs to retire.

Omega was so fucking stupid I can't even. Why bring him back if he's just gonna show up as a fucking mummy baby for five seconds and eat a way better character.

Mrs. Flood being considered separate and subservient to the Rani is weird. Mrs. Flood on general acts nothing like the Rani and I truly believe that they didn't initially plan for her to be the Rani.

Rose getting written out of existence and Shirley and every other disabled person being homeless and all the homophobia and transphobia and they had the audacity to pretend that that reality was worth saving for a fake baby.

Ruby being gaslit for like ten minutes even though everyone knows she has the memory thing is bullshit. She is so distressed and traumatised and everyone is treating her like she's delusional for thinking something that seems incredibly rational in that context.

The world borders being changed is a huge problem actually and no one seems to think that it is.

I love Ruby and I love the way she's been developed this season but you can't deny that RTD is pushing aside a strong woman of colour for his white chosen girl once again.

Speaking of Belinda, I'm not the first and I won't be the last to say that that is one of the worst character assassinations I've ever seen. What they did to her was absolutely disgusting and I have lost what little respect I had left for RTD.

Sidelining the main companion of this season, literally locking her in a box, and changing her entire character into being nothing more than a mother, (right after an episode about how forcing women into those roles is bad!) is revolting and RTD needs to either do better or be fired.

I could go on forever about how Belinda was mistreated but I wouldn't be able to say anything that hasn't already been said.

Conrad getting a happy ending was stupid. He did not earn that. Ruby should've punched him.

Rani, girl, just build some fucking Looms! Great way to bring looms into the TV show would be a biochemist like the Rani trying to restore the Gallifreyan race.

Poppy being important was super stupid. Space Babies was bad. No need to remind us.

Poppy's life being weighed against all of reality for more than a second goes against so many lessons the Doctor's learned. Pompeii, Father's Day, the Time Lord Victorious, Clara. All to teach them that one person isn't more important than every other person.

Ruby just disappeared and nobody cared, I guess.

Belinda's will being completely taken away and basically becoming a mouthpiece for the Doctor was so gross.

Thirteen! But all of the people saying that RTD wrote 13 better than Chibbs need to chill out. She was there for give seconds and acted in character. That is not a win for RTD. I have my issues with Chibbs but saying that five seconds of RTD's writing is better than three seasons of his is stupid.

Also calling the Rani a Time Lady and Thirteen calling fifteen "male" is bioessentialist and stupid and not at all the progressive agenda RTD has been claiming to try and push.

Unit are morally grey! Stop pretending they are entirely good. Chipping employees is weird and not cool, Kate.

Ncuti is genuinely one of my favourite portrayals of the Doctor ever. A lot of people have been singing his praise since the regeneration scene but I knew after his first episode that he had skyrocketed to the top of my list and remains at 2nd place despite the writing and this episode.

That being said this is the most disrespectful way I've ever seen the Doctor die.

Ncuti is the only Doctor to have never faced a single one of the big three. (Daleks, Cybermen and Master.)

He was marketed as a new era and half of his run has been reference to the past. This would be fine if the references weren't bad.

I also think it's horrible that the first full-time black Doctor is being sandwiched between RTD's two favourite white people. (No hate to Tennant of Billie.)

Also, RTD needs to just let Rose die. She was a cool companion is Series 1. She is not more important than every other person who's ever entered the Doctor's life and RTD doesn't seem to know that.

There's probably a ton more that I'm missing but my hands are starting to cramp.

[vesperpharsalius]

hey, i'm new to here so i dont know if someone asked you to same question so, sorry to bother. may i ask if you countinuing your fic ice and fire? as i say i'm kinda new and i dont know your update schedule or smth. have a good day!!😚

Well... welcome to my corner of the hellsite! Happy to have you. Please feel free to send me messages and asks; my inbox is always open (although it’s bursting at the moment and I tend to reply with about as much speed as you’d expect if we were communicating by preindustrial transatlantic letter) and I don’t mind repeating myself in the slightest. An admirer could never bother me.

😘

So, there really is no underestimating or underselling how passionate I am about Ice and Fire and Alis Aquilae, generally, which is the collective name for my planned Bellonaverse. Words, quite simply, fail me whenever I try to convey the depth of my obsession.

Let me just say this: if, for whatever reason, this project is abandoned, it will be for one reason and one reason only: I am dead. Mourn me. Remember me fondly. Because nothing but death itself could keep me from finishing it—and, indeed, it may very kill me. I am currently committing acts of hubris in this endeavor from which I may never recover. But goddamn it, kitten—we are finding this Northwest Passage and exploring Darrow’s southwest passage, too.

The good news is that the bulk of I&F is already rough–drafted. When I first started posting, about fifteen months ago, I thought it was closer to being done and that I’d only need to do some final touches on each chapter before I published it, and… yeah. No.

🤡

Extensive rewriting and revising and polishing has delayed progress significantly; I never thought it’d take more than a few months to finish this, tbh, and it’ll be two years, come July. And, hell, I’m not even halfway through; fourteen—out of 150? To say nothing of the supplementary fics that I’ve planned for AA, written from the perspective of other characters that will complement the main trilogy; these will be about 50k apiece. 

Which is not exactly… inspiring.

😬

I also completely underestimated how distracting feedback would be. It’s difficult—almost impossible, really—for me to focus on I&F itself when I have so many wonderful comments and messages and asks that I could be answering instead, because I enjoy discussing my fics far more than I enjoy writing them, if I’m honest.

It’s the instant gratification of it all. And, y’know—the praise kink. It’s kinking. 

(If you’ve sent me an ask or a message or left a comment on I&F that I’ve yet to answer, please know that I cherish each and every one and fully intend to respond. Don’t worry about being overlooked or forgotten. But you’ll have to be very patient with me, unfortunately, because I am swamped.)

That said, I’ve decided to change the paradigm a bit. What I’m going to be doing hereafter is batches of twenty–five; so, I’ll write twenty–five chapters, release one (or maybe two) a week, go on hiatus while I write the next twenty–five chapters, and so on. The first batch will be much smaller, only eleven, as I’ve already posted fourteen. 

The hiatuses only apply to the trilogy, though; I’ll throw y’all a different bone to chew on while you’re waiting. The first one will be the final chapters of MTB; after that, though… we’ll start digging into AA’s supplementary fics that I promised and some independent Cassius–centric stuff, too.

Hopefully, this will increase my productivity to a more satisfactory rate and give y’all some consistency in your lives. Really, it’s cruel what I’ve done: all this suspense, these empty promises of updates and responses and sex so torrid that a single read will permanently alter your brain chemistry or damn you straight to superhell.

They should try me at the Hague.

At my current pace, I should be able to wrap up I&F by the end of 2025 and get started on the sequel, which is still in the conceptual phase right now. At the very least, though, this series will be ongoing for the next three years.

So. Here’s hoping y’all don’t get too sick of me. 

You can expect Chs. 15–25 of I&F to start getting posted in late June. I’m gonna chain myself to it. I may or may not release Ch. 15 on its own, as it’s 95% done; right now, I’m inclined to save it for the group. 

But... you never know. I have been known to lie.

Thank you for the ask, for your patience, and for being such a good sport as I edge you. What can I say?

In typical Cassius fashion, he’s taking his damn time.

Stay tuned. 

Update, 3/9 : I lied. Ch. 15 is live.

Update, 6/27: Ch. 16 is live. Unfortunately, progression has not gone as swimmingly as I’d hoped and weekly updates are… not happening. Perhaps for Chs. 17–18, but not beyond that. Biweekly is what I’m currently aiming for. At the moment, I&F is likely to stretch deep into 2026.

That said, you can expect Ch. 17 in 1–2 weeks.

[princelabia]

those of u who still follow me for house md should know that me and @superhell starting talking through being two of the only people posting abt house md on here back in december 2022 and then we found out we were going to the same college. met up. now he's one of my best friends and we're living in the same building next year. this is an inspirational story your tumblr mutual could literally be right around the corner you never know unless u ask #doxxing

[quietwingsinthesky]

I don’t see the appeal of Rogue either.

It’s like they were allowed to have the Doctor be explicitly gay so they shoehorned in a gay romance that made little sense.

They knew each other for 20 minutes.

If it had have been a season long story arc sure I might feel something for the guy.

But at no point did I care about their relationship nor what happened to him.

well. i mean. the doctor has been gay for a little while now, like i get what you're saying but nine did get kissed on the mouth by a man and thirteen was having her not-relationship very loudly. the doctor's been gay for a bit. but yes, i understand your point.

I think. I said this to my friend last night, but a lot of the problem with Rogue for me is I Don't Know Who This Guy Is. and i don't mean in the 'oh his identity is a mystery' way. I mean, I don't know what the fuck his deal is. what are his motivations. what does he want. the doctor? is that it? does his entire purpose revolve around changing his whole modus operandi to fit what would make the doctor happy? because it seems like that's it. we get the little bit about him stealing his name from roleplaying games, but he doesn't actually do much more that's rogue-ish as the episode progresses.

and this is important to me, we don't know what he deal is outside the doctor. a lot of the reason equivalent love interests, say jack and river, are so well-written is because we get a lot of what's going on in their lives outside their relationship to the doctor. for jack, we get to see him interacting with rose, with martha, with torchwood. river has amy & rory to have a weird family dynamic with and later, the fact that she leaves nardole behind to keep an eye on the doctor, not to mention her constant references to a life we don't get to see. sure, rogue only showed up once, but he could have interacted with ruby more. you know, before sacrificing himself for her. which does a disservice to ruby, too, it makes her feel more like a pawn in his and the doctor's relationship rather than a character in her own right.

and now he's in superhell about it. we haven't seen the doctor even remotely attempt to go find him at all. but he has no regrets <3 and he just misses the doctor <3 and loves him soooo much <3 this man he met for like five hours once and then went to a torture dimension to save his friend because otherwise the doctor would be sad. groff's acting doesn't help, he is giving literally nothing to this performance and it's so frustrating, i KNOW he can act. why is he doing nothing!!!!!! more chemistry could exist between gatwa and a brick wall than between the two of them!!!!!!!!!

i can't even take fifteen offering to take him on adventures as proof that fifteen particularly likes him that much because like. well, he also offered that to the toymaker. and to the midnight entity. he does this ever other episode. his go-to approach to meeting anyone, villain or friend, is to offer to take them on adventures, rogue is not really special. (this is also indicative of a problem with fifteen's run as a whole, which is that it's high emotion All The Time, and we never get a chance to rest, and a lot of that emotion is repetitive. I think gatwa's a beautiful crier, i love that he does that so well every other episode. but we aren't getting any time to breathe and cool down to make the next emotional moment, or the next 'come with me on space adventures' offer, have the same effect. diminishing returns, you see?)

i did not want to dislike rogue. i still don't. i don't enjoy disliking a character, especially when it seems like a lot of the fandom got something out of him that i can't seem to. but. he just feels like nothing to me. like a slice of bread in a person shape.

and like god, i don't want to be that person. i don't. and i don't want them hiring barrowman because of his shit. but truth is what truth is, and a lot of these problems would have been solved if it was jack. or even just another character we already know. fucking. strax. idk. where's my fifteen/strax romance arc. don't know what rogue's deal is and aren't going to spend time in the episode to explain it? use a pre-existing character so we already get them. don't have time to build up a believable relationship with the doctor for that final sacrifice or the belief that the doctor will come save them? pre-existing character the doctor already knows and loves. like no wonder we're relying so heavily on bringing back old characters everywhere else when someone new like rogue has the impact of a bug on a windshield.

sorry. i'm being mean. i'm glad for the people who can enjoy this guy and his relationship to fifteen. but i can't.

Hello!

For House MD, who would you send to eeby deeby/superhell?

oh it's nice that this one is on its own, because when i was doing the larger version of the meme just now i realized. i don't actually know. but i think i'm going to go for tritter here, not for the obvious boo-hoo he was mean to house reasons, but i just. i cannot deal. with his arc.

so first of all i actually quite like it from a meta/narrative perspective; i like what the show was trying to do with him. tritter is house, down to the catchphrase: where vogler was a straightforward villain with house as the straightforward hero (cameron tearfully telling him he always does the right thing looool), tritter is designed to make house the bad guy, to show his flaws, and while i don't think that was executed perfectly i do appreciate the hustle.

no. what i can't deal with. is the fucking. realism. i've worked in finance most of my adult life tm. the second he gets the team's bank accounts turned off and turned on. i know this is the medical malpractice show and nothing is realistic, but maybe it's because this is the niche i know, it just. drives me to distraction. that's not how it works. i've had police want account information for investigation purposes. it takes so much paperwork. it takes court orders. you need evidence for that. you need something. we don't just say "oh of course mr policeman!" how does tritter even know where the kids bank. do none of them have credit cards. are you telling me chase doesn't have a credit card (yes, i know his accounts were never frozen in the first place). the entire plot hinges on tritter having not just magical cop powers but magical judge and court order and bank powers and it completely loses me. i wish i could rewrite the whole thing.

and the resolution is so silly too. cuddy being like "well, yes, he did steal drugs but they were fake drugs" and the judge being like "oh in that case! never mind!" the whole plot was just. ridiculous to me. so tritter can go into the garbage actually.

[eliotquillon]

ask game for house!

send me a fandom and i’ll tell you my:

• blorbo (favourite character, character i think about the most): SEE this is difficult. because my favourite character is by far cameron (i keep it really subtle you might not have noticed /s), but she is not necessarily the character i think about the most—that’s probably house himself, lol, not that my fic ever shows it. but for the purposes of this question and by most people’s definition of the word: yeah it probably is cameron. love her and her messiness and her permanent hair indecisiveness <3

• scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped): you’re all gonna think i’m lying out of my ass because i’ve never mentioned him on here but it IS kutner. i always have the biggest dumbest smile on my face whenever he comes on screen. last night me and my friends were showing each other christmas episodes of shows we like and when it was my turn to pick i specifically chose the s4 christmas episode because i knew kutner would lighten things up and bring some joy. think it was probably best he left the show when he did but MAN did he brighten up s4 and 5

• scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave): okay realistically this is cameron but i can’t just answer her for every question. so first runner up is probably…taub? who i know is quite popular as comedic relief but as an actual serious, dramatic character…man. the first time i saw the scene of him throwing the balloons at his face in larger than life i nearly cried. i really, really like taub and genuinely enjoyed his marriage subplot. he might be my favourite of the new fellows tbh.

• glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and i won’t shut up about it for a week): okay not to cop out but this has a few answers. if we’re talking actual minor characters—then nurse brenda previn. miss you diva. the team’s mortal enemy being the head charge nurse was such a funny concept and deserved to stuck around. if we’re talking characters who had a major role but only for 1-2 episodes—rowan chase for obvious ‘what the fuck is going on THERE’ reasons. if we talking characters who are mentioned but never actually appear—as fond as i am of cameron’s dead husband, this one goes out to julie. obsessed with the woman who broke the streak of wilson cheating on his wives to cheat on HIM and still kicked him out of their house. why does she hate green. what a tangled web she weaves.

• poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave): split between house and chase but leaning towards chase. not because he’s unpopular, but just. Look at the state of him. Most intense backstory/lore of all time. he literally had a character-development signifying haircut. he’s the asskisser of all time. and i do really really like him fyi

• horse plinko (character i would torment for fun, for whatever reason): MASTERS. i actually really like what she brings to the show and as an autism princess myself i highly respect her autism girl swag. but that said i love the way the team (CHASE) winds her up. she’s so funny to poke at. love you masters but i would make you do medical malpractice forever if i could

• eeby deeby (character i would send to superhell): lucas douglas. yes i’m choosing lucas over vogler or tritter. i like vogler as a villain and the tritter arc gave us banger episodes like son of a coma guy. lucas just. Annoys me and is kind of boring to boot. i regularly forget his surname. and that’s a crime nobody can atone for. i cant believe cuddy dated this loser for a year.

[youtry2replaceurself]

figured out i can just. not go to PE class. it'll make my grade shit but oh well. during that time, i wrote oc lore in the room that the. the school has the weird therapist people .yea

sooooo,.... a lot of these are actually characters i dug up from their graves so yeaa :3 and keep in mind i wrote this in 45 mins

So!! I SHOULD be at PE right now but I’m at guidance because I’m allowed to be here instead of risking panic attacks every day. I love the quiet here so so so much but that’s irrelevant. I need to talk about Comet, Maple, Lizard and Sonder. The last two I am currently developing by marinating them in my head <3

I made the first two guys two or three weeks ago and I love them. I love these little guys so much!! They are amazing and wonderful but I dont know what to do with these little sillies! I was just mindlessly drawing them, and I realized. Oh, shart. I gotta make lore for m,My blorbos! My children! i CREATED them.

Lizard was made in 5th grade, and Sonder is just a funny little word I found out about and I love it very much and it would be nice for a nightwing as a name

I was previously going to make Comet a Silk-Night hybrid that could see futures and went insane over it, but I love them too much for that. So Comet is a Silk-Rain hybrid whose brother is Maple. I will give these siblings the best little life in my mind and on wattpad and tumblrf

Lizard was originally a Silk-Rain as well, but I gave him supercool superstrong basic rainwing abilities and i thought that was too much for him so i put Lizard in superhell and added that he never went through metamorphosis. I forgot about Lizard so either I’ll dig him up from his grave or give that wingless concept to Maple. Not Comet. Comet’s wings are too pretty <3

Realized i need to take a shower, feel bad for people in te room .which is nobody, it's quiet and amazing and i love it here and i suddenly love the sun and i love everything and i

I’ve also had no idea what to do with Sonder lmao. Literally some guy i made in 5 minutes for a scratch game. Nvm screw Sonder I’ll think abiut them later (tomorrow, or in 5 days( (which is never if i say 5 days)

I’m trying to remember my other blorbos from the same time I made Lizard. I made these guys during 4th or 5th grade and put them on WATTPAD. a WATTPAD story about JADE MOUNTAIN and the prologue had a really gruesome death woahh??

Caribou was a mud-ice. Skipper was just silkwing

I lvoe silkwings/

Imm getting high off the thoughts of my ocs holy crap i never thought this would ever happen to me,. I thought i only had, like 2 ocs but no i cant even count them woahh??. Woahh thate another “woahh??”

Caribou was just another Clay i’m pretty sure. Without the cool parts i mean, just hungrya

constantly

ouhhhh 22 minutes until i have to leave this place. Social studies sounds like hell today but we get to do gimkit so im not compaliaining

 I came here to develop lore what am i doing !!?????

OK> SO what. someone gave me gumym bears what in the three moons. There’s 4 in this bag. Look how they massacred by boy

GREEN ANDYELLOW ONLy?? WOW.

Im scared because maple is another kinkajou oh my god he CANT be pink and yellow..o. I need to mak him mean <3 BUT I LOVE HIM I CANT!

Comet. What about Comet. Ok lets see what i can do for my sillies! Chart time. List time i  ean ?

COMET

RainWing and SilkWing hybrid

They have venom but they can’t shoot it that far

Stole their scarf from Maple but he doesn’t care

Nicknamed “marshmallow” by Maple

MAPLE

RainWing and SilkWing hybrid

More prominent RainWing features but still really fluffy and cuddly

Never went through metamorphosis for some reason so didn’t get wings

Like a big cat!

Like a big teddy bear omfg

Doesn’t know how to hug people but still loves hugs

^^^ tries to hug, basically tackles

Gives surprisingly terrible advice, will tell you to kill your enemies without hesitation

Based on one of my dogs (Ruby <333) bc shes a big goof and jumps on people to “hug” them and I love her so much. Full of whimsy despite the horrors <3

CARIBOU

MudWing and IceWing hybrid

More like a MudWing, just has antlers and white+pale brown fur

Paws? Why tf not actually

Neither fire breath or ice breath. carbon breath

She lost her sib group in a war (deer, cinnamon, and everglade. Might write stuff for them later idk)

Also was the bigwings of their group

Basically adopted her winglet as a new sib group at jade mountain

Really likes history, spends a lot of time in the library + will talk about it at any chance she gets

DUSKSEER/STARWEAVER (changed her name to starweaver later)

Can also read minds, will start drama over it for funsies. And ruins friendships

Nightwing mf idk

Short and Puntable

bitch

She will fight anyone and anything

LIZARD

Might fight god and die trying

Can see the future and goes insane over it

Yet another RainWing and SIlkWing hybrid

But no SilkWing parts other than antennae

Also never grew wings

Reads a lot, does so a lot with Duskseer and theorizes with her

Close bond with Maple

^^^ Maple comforts him over being wingless because he also never got wing

^^^ Maple actually treats him like a brother, Lizard HAS cried over it before

Based on my other dog, Finn. Older fella and often very grumpy but can tolerate (cannot be without for 5 mins) a handful of specific people

Terrifying what a hyperfixation can do to you .what have i done

Some Initial Thoughts On S4, Ep1

(Because I've already seen like the first half in my first two attempts at rewatching season 4, so I just want this one out of my way quickly so I can move forward)

Man. And I thought the excuses show finds for Mustafa's fuckups are lame, but Bayezit is on a whole another level in this regard. "Oh, he's not financially irresponsible, he's just generous! At least he's not a dirty, dirty hedonist like Selim! And sure, he's a bit short-tempered, but all his blowups are totally justified by Selim being a jerk!" Fuck you, show, just out of spite I headcanon Bayezit as secretly having a Franz Ferdinand-size hunting habit that explains at least some of his financial problems and constant running away from home.

Cihangir. Oh Cihangir. Save my child from this ableist writing and machistic culture. He just needs a hug and an actual job where he could apply himself and find self-worth outside of the traditional warrior şehzade paradigm. My boy really would be better off if he was born as a son of some modestly wealthy landowner or somesuch. His dad would pay for his school and he could be like a second Matrakçi or Ebusuud. Even in this society, there are so many roles for a scholarly young man with rich parents that happens to be unfit for military service, but Cihangir cannot access them, because his father happens to be the one rich man in the whole empire that is by societal mandate forbidden from sending his son to school.

Süleyman's "If I had a brother, I'd NEVER hurt him!" is so hilarious. I mean I know we all love our queer headcanons for him and Ibrahim, but if you go with the purely platonic interpretation and think of Ibrahim as the closest thing he ever had to a brother... Yeah. And the whole "Me? Getting provoked into cruelty by someone attacking my honor (calling me coward for not wanting to shank my own brother)??? No, siree!"

I know Superhell!Ibrahim was trying to be nice when he said Selim got his father's artistic tendencies and Bayezit his warrior prowess, because doesn't want to say what they actually got from him (Selim his assholery and Bayezit his unchecked pride bordering on egoism).

The Cecilia flashbacks, while important for Nurbanu as a character, were actually kinda painful. The fight scenes in this show aren't getting any better, the dubbing brought me to tears and on top of that they had Greensleeves as an in-universe track??? I mean it's possible Cecilia's dad was just that into English music, but come the fuck on. Even in 2014, googling "Italian renaissaince music" couldn't have been that hard. And of course I wrote a whole ass post on why Cecilia and Valeria's costumes in this thing make me cry, so I won't belabor the point here.

I had Canfeda for all of one episode, but if something happened to her, I'd kill everyone in this stupid show and then myself. Her telling Valeria off for still letting herself be used as Cecilia's handmaiden was... *chef's kiss* Like I do feel sorry for Cecilia, but still.

Selim saving a random concubine was an interesting beat, because it fundamentally contradicts everything we've been told about him previously. Another headcanon of mine is that he was the first person in the room that overcame the bystander syndrome, because rudimentary first aid was part of his education (maybe in connection with his military service?), so he knew what to do better than anyone else.

Mihrimah and Rüstem having shippable moments? What is this sorcery???

Barbarossa was annoying as usual, his bragging about how he definitely could destroy the infidel navies whenever he wants, no really, is getting on my nerves like you wouldn't believe. Like this show wants to glaze him so bad it doesn't even see the difference between a raid and a legit naval battle. Mustafa deserves better supporters, and I don't even like Mustafa that much.

Headcanon no.3 - Nergisşah isn't in the show that much simply because Mustafa spends zero time with her. I have no emotional reason to have this conviction, it's just that it makes a frightening amount of sense.

[tu-es-gegg]

ok . ok. im going to go insane now that im out of jail

so my blorbo is back and got to superhell in litteralyl 30 minutes

I REALLY wanna knwo where qmariana had been thewhole time, its implied he went to heaven liek he keeps saying his cubuto died. most likely out of grief so he could join flippa in the afterlife. and then in the return stream, he said he prefers it in heaven, not in the nether.

and GOD MARIANA CLOCKED CODEFLIPPA LITTERALLY FIVE MINUTES IN FROM HER WEIRD SPEAK TO THE FACT SHES HESISTATE ADN SLIPPED ABOUT LIKING MEAT

of course qmariana KNOWs thats not her daughter, she's closer to juanaflippa and acres for her deeply, and he's not been tormented failing to grieve over and over, not liek slime who is at his emotional breaking point because of his coping mechanisms that harm him. qmariana, ig compartively, he's better than qslime emotionally, not great in a sense but mostly MUCH more stable, theres no cloud of denial he has to sweep thrugh, its clear as day even if he never learned about the codes disguising themselves as eggs

god the parallels of mariana, an angel condemning codeflippa as a demon, yet beign tricked into hell and sent furhter anyway

codeflippa most likely doesnt care for mariana because she doesnt know her, so she has no problem with littterally plummeting him. one of the cockroaches named after slime's enemies is called "Mi Puta Esposa", Mariana. She griefed his home and im sure nto really grasping why Slime "hates" mariana so much but taking her view of Mariana as negatve anyway. she has no qualms.

what gets me is she talekd about knowing where the eggs are, when she knows that mariana lost his egg and mostly would not care as much. its interesting that she said the nether is where the eggs are and i dont know if its a trick

"Ahora tu nombre es azul y por su victoria pelerás" (i cant

"Now your name is blue and for victory you will fight."

i litterally do not know what this could mean

a blue name, team blue??i cant tell what blue would mean? maybe ocean, teh sky, i dont know but im scareddd AND FUCKGIN EXITGTEDDDDDDDDDD

[finefeatheredfabler]

"In war, Victory - In peace, Vigilance - In Death, Sacrifice" hits a lot fucking harder when you realize that since souls pass through the Veil, something even more fucked up could happen to the wardens when they die.

They may cease to exist or they may go to Superhell™, we have no way of knowing, but the taint may effect them even after death, is the point.

Obviously this is all headcanon-y stuff and I welcome a correction if I just missed this, but do we know what happens to Grey Wardens when they die in canon? Is it ever explicitly stated?

So just by becoming a warden, you are a sacrifice, literally, to save humanity from the blight. You might never have peace in death, you certainly don't get a peaceful death, though, that's pretty much guaranteed.

Anyway, Grey Wardens, my beloved.

[0m3g45n1p3r4lph4]

For the ask game, marvel superheroes? If not, metroid

Thanks for the ask! Gonna try for Marvel here first but I'll gladly do this for Metroid again! Not limiting myself to heroes cause 1. Can't think of too many that catch my focus 2. The breadth of characters on any end of hero-villain spectrum gets me

Blorbo: Spider-Man is my real one. Always has been, always will be! This dude was a fave before I could even pronounce Spider-Man

Scrunkly: can't think of a particularly shaped one but closest coming to mind is Gwen/Ghost-Spider. Adore her colour pallette and especially the stylization of her world

Scrimblo Bimblo: I don't pay enough attention to general community stuff to know who really counts as underrated. But! I feel like Sandman has a lot of potential with how often he's depicted not wanting to cause trouble or just a guy dealt a bad hand. Any media exploring that side gets good stuff going and it's always unfortunate to see him reduced to "evil guy #4136"

Glup Shitto: Power Pack my beloved. These kids were included in some Spider-Man comic pack back in the day and I just. These kids stuck with me. Never heard anyone talk of them. Never found enough of their comics to know if they had any longer plot lines than "a dimensional rift opened in the basement while mom was out" or "a skull crashed in our backyard" or "a mutant kid keeps teleporting to bright lights so we carried him home" but they always had a great charm to them

Poor Little Meow Meow: the Spot, specifically the AtSV depiction. Textbook definition of sad wet beast that embraced the sog and became all-powerful. Such an intriguing villain, can't wait for BtSV. Can you tell I really like Spider-Man significantly more than the rest? Lmao

Horse Plinko: any good depiction of Eddie Brock is already in the torment zone. Either deserved (rudeboy) or rooting for escape (goodboy) but knowing he can only find moments of peace

Eeby Deeby: fuck Tony stark. Cool robots to not absolve you of ruining MCU spidey by making it all about you. Superhell. Fuck EIDITH

[parme-san]

Splatoon

ask meme: send me a fandom and i'll tell you my...

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most): this is kind of funny to answer because i think the world of splatoon as a whole is my "blorbo". i'm so enamoured with all of it's vibrancy and intricacies. however i have been big man fan #1 since my very first splatcast. and i have the title to prove it.

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped): CALLIE CALLIE CALLIE i love you callie cuttlefish!!!!!!!!!!! i feel giddy just thinking about her she's so pretty and cool and silly and funny and pink and sparkly and awesome. sighs <3

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave): uhm. sheldon 👍 i like that he has secret kids (they ARE his i won't hear otherwise. they are legit named shelly and donny and look and behave exactly like him. apprentices my ass) and that he gets really excited about weapons. in the first splatoon artbook they describe him as a "military otaku" and that was really endearing to me for some reason. i also like that he hides in his shell he is cute

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week): this would be a really good category to put a favorite splatband member in so.. taka? i don't know i just think he's. handsome. i also really like dedf1sh but as of now she is no longer obscure <3 yippee. also um. i like fred crumbs he's chill and cool

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave): you're looking at the world's biggest mr grizz apologist. i would do anything to get that bear back HOME. WITH US. actually funnily enough i was not a fan from the start because i didn't like salmon run at first. to completely contradict that last sentence i also had some kind of complex crush on him. it didn't go away after meeting him in person because unlike some people i'm no coward about being a little bit of a furry. he is so large and so my boss. what else could i ask for

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason): now i ain't exactly a shiver anti. no i'm just kidding i love all of deep cut shiver is genuinely really cool but as far as rivalry goes i am taking them down with me. i have never forgotten scissors/paper/rock and i have never forgiven

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell): i really don't know. i don't hate anyone in splatoon. they're all so cool :) maybe captain cuttlefish. not cause i hate him just so he can have his destiel moment. he's already died once so he will be fine
