[cactus-juciest]

To the anon who sent me a Ty Lokka ask earlier today: I saw it, I read it…and now it’s gone. To where? Who can really say. The tumblr mobile app is about as well-designed as a treadmill for fish. But I do recall the subject: how Sokka and Ty Lee would’ve acted around each other if he’d been present on Ember Island for “The Beach.”

(I always age up characters to be on the safe side, so that’s implied here.)

Anyway, my answer is very simple. Imagine this G-rated interaction…

…as a T-rated interaction. They already think the other is cute—so remove the distance and swap their regular clothes for swimwear? There’d be so much cutesy complimenting, flirting and teasing that Azula would just throw up right there on the beach. They’d have the most ridiculous PDA going throughout the episode.

Thanks for the ask! Always happy to talk Ty Lokka.

hi jaime!!

your magical fun fact about me is that I once kneed myself in the head so hard i gave myself whiplash. not even kidding. -3/10. Not only did the initial bonk give me a headache (and concussion), l couldn’t look to the left without searing pain for like, 2 weeks.

and the morning after, my ma woke me up by playing that clip from one of the X-men movies where Quicksilver is like “I’m holding your head so you don’t get whiplash.” And magneto goes “what?” And quicksilver is like, “whiiiiplaaaaash.”

that was kind of funny actually. W ma moment. But the rest was bad

This guy

Oh boy, uh, that's nightmare fuel... Ok, MAYBE it would be cool, but I ain't too good with horror, I'm not sure if I'd be able to make that, but tell you what. After I've done everyone or if I'm bored and not busy (highly unlikely :'(), I could give it a try!!

I somehow have gone my entire life without knowing dragonfruit comes from a species of cactus Not quite, the fruits are closer to pricky pears in the texture of their flesh, and kind of like Peruvian apple cactus in appearance. They're very sweet and have a watermelon-esque flavor, but a little more tart. The seeds are edible, and fairly small in most domestically cultivated strains.

Many domesticated strains have had their spines largely bred out, and have most been selected to prolifically grow tender, edible stalks (at the cost of smaller fruits). Both the stems and fruits are staple foods and this 'best of both worlds' approach is ideal for cultivation in most contexts.

The one pictured here is about 6ft tall, and has been harvested with the common method of one 'trunk' routinely having its edible stalks trimmed (which, if done carefully, barely harms the plant and new stalks will grow from the stumps) and the other trunk being left alone to bear fruit.

It's in the same family of the kulys plant (same root word, pronounced differently, canonically gets confusing in-universe) that's been mentioned here prior, which is mostly found in the northwestern highlands and is much more cold-tolerant. Mature kulys looks like this.

Do you have any head cannons for dance sans’s lore or personality? i’m doing a weird creativity experiment thing where I fuse sanses together and then make them into OCs, and I got dance and horror for one of them

Oooh Well, in terms of lore it's pretty much just normal undertale Sans? So pretty typical canon Sans behavior, I do think he's somehow more laid back than Classic, on an internal level, because Classic is chill but he's also really not chill, I think Dance being so in tune with his body means he'd also be less guarded somewhat, he's truer to himself than Classic. Dance is still a huge liar and deflects but it's less rigid.

He's less social than Classic too, again these are like, take these as very minimal differences, Dance isn't not social, only slightly less so than Classic.

He's also kind of a showoff lol, he's not really cocky but when you can do the moves he can it'd be a bitch to never pull them y'know? And it'd always get a reaction from the guys at Grillby's (plus being intrinsically tied to dance!monster's culture, while I get the idea of Dance not actually dancing I feel like it's putting him in a main character position I kind of dislike, it also feels like a waste to have characters in the dance au not dance?) so yeah, he likes pulling out moves and like I've said before I think he'd be a powerhead.

That's my take on him lol do with that what you will

Any Ty Lokka headcanons to share?

My first ask! Never expected this tbh so thank you, anon. As a matter of fact, I have plenty:

When Ty Lee finally learns the name of the cute Water Tribe boy she’s been crushing on, she won’t stop repeating “Sokka! Sokka! Sokka! Sokka!” for hours. Azula and Mai lose their minds.

After the war, Ty Lee is quick to stake her claim but Sokka has trouble getting over her previous villainy. That changes when she sends him a ticket to one of her circus performances and while doing the trapeze, she swoops down over the crowd and kisses him. He’s 100% smitten from then on and learns to appreciate her mean streak.

Sokka makes several attempts to paint her portrait, but Ty Lee really struggles to sit still and keeps getting out of her seat to see his progress. Although Sokka isn’t the world’s most talented artist, Ty Lee loves his art of her anyway…and it might have to do with the way he overemphasizes her smile, the length of her braid…and certain other charms.

Their PDA is almost nonstop: hand-holding, pecks on the cheek, lots of cuddling. But the big one is Ty Lee always wanting to sit on Sokka’s lap. It’s her favorite place to sit in the whole world and she never misses a chance to climb over and onto him. Sokka normally likes some personal space but comes to accept that “his” personal space belongs to Ty Lee too.

Every time Sokka gets down on a knee for any reason at all, Ty Lee shouts, “Yes! Yes! Yes! It’s about time!” …including on their first date. He starts leaving his shoes untied to spare her feelings.

Their wedding is a chaotic mess. Sokka plans every detail down to the letter because that’s the way he is, but Ty Lee makes the mistake of choosing her sisters as bridesmaids…who all want to be the bride instead (they’re identical sisters so ofc they have the same taste in boys lol). Each of them has a different scheme to replace Ty Lee at the altar, so she has to suffer being tied up, gagged, locked in a closet, drugged, etc. Good thing Sokka has learned to tell the sisters apart. He’s able to identify and reject the imposters before they say their vows, and the wedding has to be delayed/repeated six times before he uses his detective skills to track down and free Ty Lee. That night, she chi blocks her sisters as a precaution to keep them away from the honeymoon suite.

They’re both blanket hogs and their unconscious tugs of war are legendary. They live at the South Pole, where Sokka often wakes up in the middle of the night to find himself on the edge of the bed with Ty Lee right next to him, aggressively snuggling for warmth. She is not a big fan of the cold to say the least.

Not sure how many kids they have. But I think I subscribe to the idea that multiple births run in Ty Lee’s family so they might get anywhere between 3 and 7 for the price of one.

As an avid spiritualist, Ty Lee sometimes decides to ‘air out her aura’ by forgoing clothes while at home. She encourages Sokka to do the same. He fully endorses this practice for reasons unrelated to auras.

On second thought they probably do have a lot of kids.

In a high school AU they’d be a nerd x cheerleader couple. Ty Lee pursues Sokka and makes it clear she wants him to take her to homecoming…by telling him outright. She also shows up to his math team competitions in her cheerleader uniform, silently jumping up and down in the back of the room when he gets an answer right. They kinda have the vibe of a classic horror movie couple so I wrote this fic for them. I know it’s oddly specific lol.

They have a lot of potential for meet cutes in a modern AU. My favorite is Ty Lee as a waitress and Sokka as a customer (probably the best Ty Lokka I’ve written: Order Up!), but others that come to mind are yoga instructor x student, airline pilot x stewardess, cop x driver (trying to flirt their way out of a ticket), patient x nurse and swimmer x lifeguard.

That’s all I have for now! Thank you again for the ask. Sorry it took a while to answer but I really enjoyed getting to scoop out all the Ty Lokka thoughts in my head, so you’re always welcome to send more!

I read all the witcher books last year! I love Ciri, Geralt, and Yaskier but mainly b/c of the show that's what got me to read the books

awesome! I watched the show, then got into the games. I liked the games so much I decided to finally read the books. I have to say, the writing style (or at least how the style is translated) is fantastic and really draws you into the story. I also like the non-chronology of the chapters. You learn what you need to know as you go along. Of course, the show did that as well. But still.

I haven’t finished the first book yet because I keep rereading the first chapters lol. The description of the striga is very helpful when I want my original writing to be more evocative. I go, “why did that description work so well? what was the author doing?” so I’m really enjoying it so far.

Very simple question if you had to make a filler episode about aki what would it be about?

Ooh! There are many good answers to this!

I loved the Akiza gets her license arc, it will be pretty hard to top that. But if I had to narrow down the oodles of Akiza ideas I have to just one, and make it filler, I'd say I'd make a filler episode dealing with the ramifications of the fall of Arcadia. Not just the emotional damage, but like. The physical cost.

Filler episode where Akiza is struggling with the fact that when the building collapsed, all her stuff was destroyed. And the actual possessions, she doesn't care that much about, but her plants. She kept a whole room of plants at Arcadia that she absolutely doted on, and now that she's moved back in with her parents she has nothing to care for, and it's really weighing on her.

So someone (Probably Carly, because give me CarlyAkiza interactions Konami, GIVE THEM TO ME) takes her to Yugioh Home Depot and then they run into some crabby gardener who doesn't want to sell them plants for Yugioh Filler Antagonist Reasons, and Akiza solves this the only logical way by asking to duel for it, and they have an awesome Plant Deck Vs Plant Deck smackdown and Akiza wins and they jam pack Carly's van with flowers and shrubs and succulents and it looks like a greenhouse on wheels and in the end Akiza has a new room in her house full of greenery, and as thanks, she gifts Carly a single potted cactus.

Not sure if it'd be canon, but i like to think of the modern au as reincarnation.

That no matter what Machete and Vasco go through in the main story, they get another chance to live their lives without all the tension and politics.

A happily ever after, a brand new adventure, free from their old narrative. Together.

Do you ever feel like the day’s over before it’s already begun?

Today’s one of those days.

Hello :D

So the next question is a hard one:

What is your favourite Dream video?

I don’t know if I could answer this one myself 😅 But I’m excited to read your answers :D

Yesterday’s answers were way more diverse than for the George videos but one was mentioned quite often: We tried the Minecraft cookbook in real life! I guess we all like irl Dteam :D

Have a wonderful day 💙💚🧡

- 🌵

My favorite Dream video ever is The Truth.

I know, I know: why

It’s such a beautiful video. It is so well done, well thought out, with so many great visuals and audio clips. That video single-handedly told every creator who thought it was easy to pick on him to shut up and leave him alone. He kicked ass and took names with that video, and I’m so proud of him for it.

It’s also the video that got us the Drummy Scar, and any of my friends can attest that I am super normal and not super horny about it. Moreover, we got to see Teen Dream, which is always a delight :)

Anyway, thank u sm for these asks cactus nonnie!
