November 5, 2023 - If you know, you know. If you don't, log off now and save yourself.

It's been 16 years [x] since the WGA strike of 2007 set a chain of events that led to Castiel the angel saying he loved Dean Winchester and promptly dying exactly 13 years later on the night of November 5, 2020, nowadays known as the destielputinelection night.
It's been three years. For some, the night of November 5, 2020 has become no more than a blur of chaos, whilst for others, the memories of that day remain as vivid and raw as back then, even three years later.
It's time to make peace with the fact that there will be no peace. The ghost of destiel has not left and has contaminated the internet, going so far as to causing Supernatural to trend solely because of the use of the Destiel meme to convey the news [x] [x] [x].
Just this morning, it contributed to Putin trending on the hellsite alongside BBC Sherlock.

At this point we might as well just accept our fate.
#i'm waiting for the time this becomes a week-long celebration#why is supernatural trending#look. there's nothing i can say that hasn't been said already a number of times#so happy destiel to everyone that celebrates. and to everyone who watches in horror - i'm sorry#i'm but a humble messenger#spn#supernatural#destiel#deancas#nov 5th#can't wait for the next year considering yhat apprently the next US presidential election will be held on nov 5#putin has a chance to do the funniest thing in the modern history

So I've been re-reading "The Raven and the Snake" and I love Clora and Seb together. Unfortunately, I am not much of an artist - unless you count stick figures wearing top hats as art - but it has inspired me to get back into writing.

As a society, I think our major flaw is that we don't talk about this enough.
#I think this picture gets erased from my brain for my own good#and when I find it again I relive the same emotions every time#the emotions I feel can be considered threatening to modern feminism#just fyi#steve harrington#joe keery

every time a writer has batman refer to his children & mentees as his “soldiers” i get a step closer to sending frank miller an envelope full of anthrax.
new writers read pre-crisis (or even just like any pre-1990 writer other than marv “my self insert fucked a teenager” wolfman) comics challenge.
#& im not against there being strain or strife or like unmendable cracks in bruce’s relationships with them tbc#but there is a gratuity to the modern approach that makes it very clear that either a) frank miller (who originated this viewpoint in some#ways) is the only writer they’re familiar with#or b) they are trying to be a hashtag-sensation#so you get huge bombastic conflicts that are entirely fucking nonsensical (spyral) or way more physically violent & pointedly aggressive#than bruce would ever go (that red hood & the outlaws issue. also spyral or like any time he’s gotten mad at dick since the crisis)#(also as a red hood fan can we please stop pretending rhato isn’t shit??? the comic is like blatantly shitty & uninspired as are both team#make-ups the characterization is nightmarish & the guy who wrote it was an ass. every time somebody stops considering#it canon jason comes a little closer to getting a good writer)#bruce wayne#batman#dc#for legal reasons this is a joke & i have no genuine intent to send frank miller anthrax that would be fucked up#fbi please leave me tf alone thank you

Co-creator of Batman Bill Finger did an interview in 1972 in which he responded to the question of whether Batman and Robin were “homosexual fantasies”.
His answer was that he “didn’t think of Batman and Robin in those terms.” But the next thing he says piqued my interest in regards to their intended relationship dynamic.
“I thought of [their relationship] in terms of … Frank Merriwell and Dick Merriwell, his half-brother, who was the kid he was taking care of.”
Brothers! Very interesting.

#batman#no but really though#the push to put them in the father and son box is extremely lazy#because you have this incredibly complex dynamic#that crosses so many different traditional relationship dynamics#father and son dynamic is THERE#but so is brothers#so is best friends#so is partners#AND YES#so is lovers#their seperation was extremely break-up coded#and so modern comics trying to say no no#it’s JUST father and son#and never considering anything else#is lazy and reductive#it posits that this is the Best relationship for them#like that bruce thinking of dick as his son and vice versa is a victory#like some long awaited conflict that is finally solved if they can just refer to each other as dad and son#here i go ranting in the tags again#longer than the original post#but i have so many thoughts#but the fact that their creation wasn’t even with this father and son dynamic agenda in mind is like :] ofc it wasn’t !!!!!#if it was they would have found some way for bruce to have just adopted dick!!!#he was his WARD for a reason!!!

I just recently started following you so i don't have the full lore of your murderous gay religiously traumatized doggos, BUT, from my understanding, they are Italian and i don't know what part of Italy they are from, yet i can't help headcanoning Vasco as Tuscan, while Machete is probably from some part of Veneto. And as an Italian who has heard Tuscans and Veneto dialet, well it's an hilarious mental image.
Vasco is indeed Tuscan, Florentine to be specific. He comes from a wealthy and influential noble family that has lived in Florence for centuries. He's proud of his roots, and it's usually easy for strangers to tell where he's from. He's a resonably successful politician and has worked as an ambassador and representative of Florence on numerous occasions.
Machete is originally Sicilian (ironically about as far from Veneto as possible), although he was taken to mainland at young age and has lived in several places since then, before ending up in Rome. The way I see it, he exhibits very little local color, his demeanor and (even though Italian hadn't become a standardized language yet) way of speaking are formal, neutral and scarcely give away any hints about his personal history, at least in the 16th century canon.
#I tend to take the easy way out with the various Italian dialects/languages and temper their effect on how the dog world works#even though to my understanding in reality they differ drastically from each other even today and they aren't always mutually intelligible#especially when you compare northern and southern ones#I know at least Sicilian is so different from modern day Italian it's considered a separate language entirely#it isn't the only one but I'm not a linguist and not even Italian so I'm not really qualified to be explaining any of this to you#main point is that my dogs are well traveled educated and adaptable so I'd like to believe that they manage#otherwise making this whole scenario work would become very complicated#language barriers aplenty#Machete is a fast learner with a natural knack for languages so he absorbs/decodes new ones easily#and I can see him acting as an interpreter if necessary#which is a valuable trait for someone working as the secretary of state I'd imagine#a lot of people he ends up dealing with speak at least passable Latin so at a pinch they might perhaps try switching to that?#Vasco might have a Tuscan flavor but Machete is more of a blank slate (at least in public and at work)#answered#fallenoftheromaempire#feel free to correct me if I've gotten something wrong I'm not an expert and this stuff is complicated for an outsider

he’s a tired kitsune who spends his time trying to mediate between people and spirits and wandering around cities cleaning up messes he’s framed in by his rival
#oc#he doesn’t have a name yet#his entire character revolves around duality#modernity vs tradition expectation vs reality innocence vs guilt spirits vs people and how he doesnt fit in with either#hes tired and grouchy and has big chompy teeth but hes actually one of my most lawful good types#not literal laws but morally he works very hard to try to make peace so everyone can be comfortable and happy#he has no home and doesnt sleep but he loves to eat lol#my husband made a counter character for him thats a rabbit spirit who plays into the duality too#hes associated with purity & prosperity but in reality hes a thief and a liar who implicates this guy to get away w things#while this guy is assumed to be a mischievous liar but hes a guardian and good omen (for everyone but himself it seems)#i was considering extrapolating his name from inari for obvious reasons but i havent put much other thought into it#he moves silently but brings a chill and the bells and incense on him all play into how spirits are usually portended in japanese mythology#etc etc boring details hi. sorry i made another red/blue character im gay

The entirety of the MW3 campaign is honestly such bullshit and the more I think about it the more pissed off I get.
Refusing to believe that Price would've let Makarov live for even a second. Captain John Price, who has had the goal of killing Makarov for YEARS and hunting him down just... lets him live???????
The only reason I would accept him not letting Soap kill Makarov is because he wanted to do it himself For starters... they just... trust that Makarov will stay in the prison??? He's like "ah this always works out, no one has ever escaped from prison ever :)". Okay, yeah, right, sure. That's NEVER backfired at all what so ever, and y'know, obviously no one would eveeeeeer come to free him and the group that he heads definitely wouldn't swarm to get him back.
I don't give a shit if he got orders to stand down and to not do it - I'm refusing to believe John Price, after everything he's sacrificed and done, would accept that for one single second. Why on EARTH would he let Makarov live when he KNOWS that in no way, shape, or form would that ever be a good idea. I don't think there's a single order that would get him to not kill Makarov - not my Price
"Oh oh but Makarov can provide intel!" SINCE WHEN. Since when would he actually cooperate. Since when would he do anything other than gain information for himself, play mind games, and then INEVITABLY escape. HE KNOWS THAT. Everyone knows that. It's just COMMON SENSE
Makarov is nearly just telling them everything, legit point blank. TO THEIR FACES what he's going to do. And they're just like :) HE CANNOT BE MORE OBVIOUS PLEEEEEASE
There's just. So much utter bullshittery in every corner of the campaign I really wonder if the people behind it knew anything about narrative story telling or the characters they're writing for. I can slap a wombat on a keyboard and whatever it wrote would probably make more sense than the slop we were given. I can dump a can of alphabet soup in a bowl and it would make more sense
(And yes, I'm aware of the original plans of it likely not being a full game on its own but that doesn't excuse the writing or what we got. I'm AWARE of the background)
Honestly am expecting "It's Makaroving time" and he Makarovs everywhere to be the next step we're getting
#cod#call of duty#cod modern warfare#call of duty mw3#cod mwiii#call of duty modern warfare#seriously the more i think about it the more annoyed i am#so much horseshit you're making the Augean stables look like a sterilized chamber in comparison#next time letting an exploding hot dog write the campaign#will do better#legit i can take a nap on my keyboard and come up with something that makes more sense#not my john price#he wouldn't do that at all or even consider it#captain price#john price#they have a writing problem - i mean like an everything problem but ESPECIALLY a writing issue#cod rant#call of duty rant

zomg... the girls! Sketched out! And a few characters I never showed designs for! haha! I keep thinking about the beach, so this is their swimwear.
I hope to make a full fledged drawing for all of them soon~ then the guys~~
Some newbies are: Aura (blue!) Katya (Gold!) and more of Verra (Green!) We'll eventually see more about them as I draw more things and doodles.
#Because I realized I never drew the girls as much as I did the guys#I used to exclusively draw women until I figured out how to draw men... I then awoke drawing nudethaniel and speedo vincent#so we're reeling it back a little#Ryoko Kui said she draws her oc's outfits in modern times to see how the different characters would dress. I thought about it- it definitel#says a lot about your character!#Monica is REALLY tall. And muscular! with a strong ability! no wonder she's taken down armies! She doesn't care to swim much but will use#a rashguard to swim in.#Sera is copying her style a bit but thankfully owns an actual wetsuit. Feels like home considering how her aerodynamic armor is designed#Sonia is sonia. She seductively asks Vincent to help her put sunscreen on... Only to be met with an albinoid man's journey to sun poisoning#He eventually gets greased in sunscreen and aloe vera after what feels like hours of nagging him. (it was forty five minutes.) Sorry Sonia.#Some things cannot be changed. When he did eventually look at her body he laughed at her ass being out rather than think anything naughty.#Not girl Summer. Vincent did end up helping her with the sunscreen though. “Lmao you can't do this yourself or something?” ruined the magic#Karin tailored her swimwear. She bedazzles her arms with accessories <3 Her nail polish can detect drugs <3 & cyanide caps in her earrings#Poor Katya is a supermodel but is way too thin... Strohl doesn't say it.. But he's worried. She makes way too much money to want to quit.#Verra is in rabbit mode because her summon LOVES to swim and hey who is she to halt its fun?#Aura is pretty modest and prefers to meditate in the water or by the shore away from all of the roughhousing. Nate and Strohl join at time#They kind of freak out when she starts floating though. Or invoking the elementals of the seas. The guys are both areligious. Awkward.#Especially when the waves start to get a little rowdy minutes later. Strohl is torn between considering religion and asking for a tutorial.#ark_systema#A_S textposts#Solely for the tags#Devsneakpeeks

this is technically inspired by @nullb1rdbones 's post. it's quite different, but I still give credit where it is due.
it's crazy I was totally just gonna post this on its own, but suprise its Sebastian Die Day, so now I'm claiming this is planned and Ciel told him he had to do this if he lost and Sebastian agreed cause he's stupid
#*forgot to clarify- he's gonna chug*#we needed this we really did#the best part is it was a team effort#so deserved#anyway. drawing#this is most likely the fastest least effort doodle I've posted in a while but welp that's what procrastinating for so long that you have#no time for funzies does to you#and well my WIP list is ever enormous so I gotta kick the small things out(lovingly still) in the hopes that the big things can soon#someday please be finished#even still this sketch went through 2 ugly phases but now it's out here#also I was considering making this doodle a modern AU but I decided it's just funnier if I pretend it's canon. funtum coke and mentos yea#kuroshitsuji#black butler#kuroshitsuji fanart#fanart#sebastian michaelis#ciel phantomhive#digital art#o!ciel#doodle

Do you have a family tree for DOTC and the ancient tribes around the lake with Hollyleaf/Fallenleaf?
I don't yet. When I finish up my re-read, I'm going to gather ALL of the DOTC cats and start dividing them up into the three cultural groups. After getting them all in bundles, I'm going to whip them up into proper family trees.
If you're asking about canon's family tree... I can make it if you'd like, but I'd just be showing you the ticking timebomb of genetic diversity they set up for themselves. It's all Quiet Rainkin and random forest cats, most introduced after book 3. None of the other settlers had grandchildren and the living children have no mates.
Sun Shadow died.
Lightning Tail died and Acorn Fur was forced into a vow of chastity
None of Turtle Tail's kits have kits; one is in a vow of chastity
There's nothing to "preserve" about the canon tree, unfortunately. It's not really a "tree," it's more like a couple of bubbles with a ton of dead women floating around outside.
For funsies, let me try and remember all the "bubbles" off the top of my head, plus when the characters were introduced
Ravenstar x Juniper Branch (Book 6)
Milkweed x Leaf (Book 5, Book 2, plus existing kits with an unknown mate)
Misty (Book 2; kits have no kits.)
Shadowkin: Tall, Moon, Sun (1, 1, 5, extinct)
Jackdaw's Cry x Hawk Swoop (extinct)
Turtle Tail x Tom the Wifebeater (endangered)
Riverstar x Finch Song (Book 1, super edition)
Wind Runner x Gorse Fur (Moth Flight and Dust Muzzle are born in book 3)
Willow Tail (introduced with a sibling in book 4; extinct)
Shaded Moss was the father of Rainswept Flower (extinct)
Fox and Petal were siblings (Petal raised Misty's children)
I forgot the name of Drizzle's mom and sibling (book 6)
I think there's also a cat called Apple Bottom Jeans or something in Thunderstar's Echo who has a litter, but I can't remember her mate without google. There were also some litters born in Riverstar's Home I can't remember. I barely remember the side books, were there any others born in Shadowstar's Life...?
Here's all the pairings in the Quiet Rainkin family, as contrast;
Quiet Rain x Unknown (4 kits)
Clear Sky x Bright Stream (Died pregnant; gave birth to 2 dead angel fetus children in heaven)
Clear Sky x Storm (Thunder was the only survivor of 3)
Clear Sky x Star Flower (two litters; the first was 3 iirc, the second unknown)
Jagged Peak x Holly (3 kits)
Gray Wing x Slate (3 kits iirc)
Thunder x Violet Dawn (4 kits)
So... bottom line is, something like 50% of births were coming out of the Quiet Rainkin family, and they account for something like 30% of cats with existing family at all.
Personally, I think that's awful in a prequel arc that's supposed to be about ancestors. So I'm going to be making whole families for BB.
#bone babble#Re: this is all from memory#Did I miss any?#Also this is a large reason i think theyre just bad at handling family trees.#It was a completely clean slate and they are still barelling towards a pretzel in a couple generations#Unless they continue to summon fresh bodies from the bushes#MY excuse is that I don't work with OCs and have to handle the small population sizes.#I work with limits theyve set and even I can still think more carefully about family trees#They do not care at all about them or consider them outside of superficial references#And I dislike that. The whole draw of the series imo is following them through their lives and subsequent generations#But hey. My kitchen my spices.#If BB ever had its serial numbers sanded off I'd keep the BB!DOTC families into the modern era too lmaoo#But that's neither here nor there

JRR Tolkien: This is my fantasy race that I invented
JRR Tolkien: They come of age at 33. I've made this a plot point
The fandom: Okay........ but......... obviously they're considered adults at 18-21.
JRR Tolkien: They come of age at 33. Hope this helps <3
The fandom: No, no, no, don't be silly. People become adults at 18-21
JRR Tolkien: In this fictional culture that I've invented people come of age at 33.
The fandom: Okay but clearly what you mean when you say that is something else. I don't know what you mean by it but obviously it's something other than coming of age. Something made up, probably. It's definitely not important.
JRR Tolkien: It's hugely important and I spend a whole chapter setting it up
The fandom: But an 18 year old is an adult, tho......
#i actually loathe this issue fandom has with fictional worlds having different ages at which people are considered adults#lotr is probably where its most annoying because the discrepancy is SO big and tolkien was SO clear about it#like! newsflash! this is cultural! just because its 18 in contemporary america doesnt mean thats what it is and should be everywhere!#and its just annoying in fandom#its outright stupid the hoops they will jump through to try and represent it so it seems like other modern day cultures#have the exact same standards as modern day america#i know its hard to look past your own cultural values and understand that they are subjective and not universal#but you have to try. it is in fact a moral imperative that you try#18 is not a magic age. its just when they arbitrarily decided you can be drafted in the us. thats all

college zukka roommates where its 3 am, sokka walks into their dorm and sees zuko playing every version of “please, please, please let me get what i want” with candles light all around his side of the room and notes that say “passing grade” on just about ever surface while zuko is sleeping
(sokka turns around and closes the door to go bother suki into letting him stay in her room for the night)
#college zukka#modern!zuko is a the smiths fan you can’t convince me otherwise !!#zuko only considers in the morning that MAYBE leaving all the candles lit thoughout the night may have been a fire hazard#IK YOU TYPICALLY CANT HAVE CANDLES/OPEN FLAMS OR CERTAIN ELECTRONICS IN COLLEGE DORMS BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THE BIT#they just go to a really obscure college where it can happen#zukka college au#zukka#sclnposting
