#canon timeline be damned

something about this man brings back memories buried deep under piles of gore. remnants of a time when you were still sweet and didn't know the taste of copper. your hand twitches. it yearns to hold his golden claw. craves its anchor

"AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN SAY A FUCKING GOODBYE. WHY?"

Karkats definitely about to give a tiny smack

look homestuck^2 has it's,,, points, but a character not saying goodbye then dying (but also not really/coming back like this withiut a say) is what GETS me, many feelings in that reveal if such happens, so this is really a drawing of that, it just happens to be with davekat here

Fuck it, tumblr can have the pureshadow flash fic I blasted my qpp with, fic below cut

Torments my boy by typing for 12 minutes. Fic is small and a bit angsty; contains self-use of it/its implied as a dehumanizing tactic. I also just like he/it/they Smilk but I think it's fun to think of how he thinks of himself. I've also not gotten to Beast Yeast yet I'm just insane about them.

"..I do not quite...understand."

His voice is as soft as always. So gentle. Undeservingly kind. Perhaps this is why he was so loved. No matter the truth he'd speak, he would say it in that voice, with an innocence belying his age.

He looks at it with that innocence. Eyes closed, lashes dainty against his cheeks, and after silence presses on, he opens them, perplexed.

They do not see what is there.

Not merely due to their inability; it is close enough that he could surely count crumbs on its face. But he has always been one to see the light where there was none.

"Shadow Milk Cookie." Its name falls from his tongue like the heaviest of truths, yet wrapped in the levity of the lie it knows it to be. Nobody remembers the truth, after all.

It made sure of that.

It scoffs. Rolls its eyes at him. Sticks out its tongue. Plays flippant.

"Oh, precious silly cookie," it lets words flow like syrup, sickly saccharine and suffocating in their false warmth, "what's there not to get?~"

"Why it is that you've not yet crumbled me."

Why?

Why?

It has no answer. It stares at him, face frozen in the grin it donned. Why not? Why not? What did he mean? What was it to say?

"You want the souljam," he says, and those words are true. It thinks so, at least. "But yet you refuse to simply take it from me. What motivates this game of yours?"

"Fun!~" It cheers before it allows itself to dare think. "You're just terribly adorable when you scream and wail for help, don't you know?"

"...You're not telling the truth."

"Duh!" The scoff comes out with dismissive force. "Why would I, silly Vanilly?"

It doesn't like how he looks at it. It doesn't like it. It doesn't like it it doesn't like it it doesn't like it it doesn't it doesn't IT DOESN'T--

Why doesn't it?

What is the truth?

Why hasn't it crumbled him?

It has been silent too long. It has stared into his eyes too long. It detests that kind, weary, familiar smile on his face. It despises his pity.

"...I don't need you to look at me like that," it spits, turning on its heel and fleeing. It will come back. It has to.

It...wants that souljam, right?...

Thoughts on the Alysanne is Maegor's daughter AU? I feel like it has some interesting potential, and it vastly recontextualizes different parts of Jaehaehae (I do not like him sjsjsjs) and Alysanne's relationship (such as Jaehaehae's treatment of their daughters) but I wanna hear what you think about it!

I’ve touched on this a bit before but since you actually want to hear my thoughts, allow me to present to you my Jaehaerys Is The Goddamn Worst, And Alysanne Annoys Me Too: An Essay lmao but my answer is basically “yeah all of what you just said.”

I think it makes Alysanne much more palatable (to me) as a character because as she stands, she just fixates on forcing her daughters through these fucked up marriages at too young an age bc it traumatized her to be married and pregnant at 15 too but she’d never admit that being a willing participant in her own kidnapping by her brother-husband was the single worst thing that ever happened to her, and because Alysanne doesn’t want to admit it (and Jaehaerys would never see it as wrong or a mistake) F&B really shies away from delving into the fact that Alysanne is as deranged of a mother as Cersei is. So as she stands, she’s very flat to me because she’s presented very flatly and inconsistently. She’s so in love with Jaehaerys, she’s maritally raped by Jaehaerys, she’s a loving and doting mother, she forces her daughters into marriages when they’re the same too young age she was, she accuses her teenage girls of being scheming whores then gets angry when her husband accuses their teenage girls of being scheming whores, and worst of all we are just told “Maegelle tells them to make up so they do” so we don’t know why Alysanne gets over all of this. What is the point of riding a dragon when you never use that dragon to protect your daughters from unwanted teen marriages? We’re just not given a good enough justification for why her behavior is so weird and frustrating towards her daughters.

Make her Maegor’s daughter though…most of her behavior as an adult makes more sense. Like a worse version of Rhaenyra’s childhood almost - a father desperate for a son, but lowkey obsessed with his daughter, who makes all his hang ups about his parents the problems of every woman around him, except Maegor is out here blood sacrificing and torturing and starting wars and forcing babies on wives he discards quickly and brutally. Then here comes Jaehaerys on a white horse green dragon to save her from the horror her life has become, and he loves her so much he runs away with her even though Alyssa says they shouldn’t marry because people won’t like it. And they have beautiful children, and a beautiful marriage, and build a beautiful kingdom.

Then her pregnancies start getting dangerous. Gaemon, then Valerion, die. Alysanne thinks of the shriveled up mutants she called brothers, if Maegor’s taint has passed to her. Her perfect husband ignores her no, and forces Gael on her. Alysanne remembers that he said nothing to Rogar when Alyssa died, merely wept. Then her daughters start to die. Daella, Alyssa, Viserra, all within a few years. Then Jaehaerys makes Saera watch as he murders her boyfriend, calls her a whore, and says Alysanne cannot follow Saera to Lys. Alysanne thinks of Maegor torturing the Harroways over Alys’ presumed infidelity. Jaehaerys says he’s sorry, and her daughter badgers her into forgiving him, and she remembers how she helped Jaehaerys badger Alyssa into forgiving Rogar. Not two years later, Jaehaerys passes over Rhaenys. Alysanne thinks of how she was never enough for her father, how she felt so superior to Rhaena banished to Dragonstone and resented by Aerea, yet there she is dragging Gael away from court because she can’t stand to be with Jaehaerys. How her father was surrounded by dead women and dead babies and how Jaehaerys is surrounded by his own dead daughters, but surely she did the right thing, surely Maegor was worse, surely the realm is better off? Is he right to pass over Rhaenys? Is she enabling a man just as monstrous as her father? She will never decide, because Maegelle will guilt her about keeping Gael isolated at Dragonstone, and Alysanne will do as she’s told, just like Rhaena, and Alyssa, and Jeyne, Elinor, Ceryse, Alys, and Tyanna, just like every one of her daughters.

I do get why Alysanne is Alyssa & Aenys’ and not Maegor’s. The weird Targ babies, the line not descending from Visenya, Jaehaerys and Alysanne being held up as the perfect Targaryen couple specifically because they are brother and sister and dragon riders. I do even think canon Alysanne is likely traumatized by her time as a hostage on Dragonstone, and the ensuing war, and the trauma bond that caused with Jaehaerys, and it makes her idolize Jaehaerys, and then he isolates her at Dragonstone so he can swiftly and safely marry, groom, and knock her up. It’s not like,,,, a fun time, and it’s enough to make anyone crazy and weird about their daughters, but I think having her father be Maegor makes Alysanne herself much deeper because it gives her, as the most beloved Targaryen queen, a blood tie to the most hated Targaryen king, and a marriage to the most beloved Targaryen king. It fits better with a lot of the themes of the main series (again, imo) - forcing the spotlight on the outsiders to see how the affect the story from behind the scenes. The fall of Aegon’s sons, and The Long Reign, not told from the PoV or to serve the PoV of any of the kings or princes, but of the queen that tied them all together.

Good morning. How is my old 2020 ship Kiribaku kinda basically implied canon. How did that happen. I feel like I won the prize to a lottery I forgot I joined. I'm kinda giddy but??? LEGIT HOW

[heimeldat]

The Time-Lock has always existed. The Time Lords have always been aware that there's some other version of reality sealed away beyond some impenetrable temporal barrier.

The Anti-Time breach (mid Eighth Doctor) causes a slight destabilization of the Time-Lock, and for the first time, the Time Lords glimpse what lies behind the barrier: an inevitable, eternal war-timeline that the Time Lords will presumably lock away at some point in the future to preserve the Web of Time. They get paranoid and start preparing for war.

The early Eighth Doctor, desynchronized from Gallifrey-time by a Faction Paradox infection, destroys one of the War Gallifreys but only manages to delay the war, not prevent it.

Conceptual warfare wreaks havoc across segments of the Web of Time, but the two sides are well matched. The Enemy empower the Daleks to fight the Time Lords on the 3D front and thus gain a brief advantage. The late Eighth Doctor gets involved with this front of the war despite his best efforts.

Ohila tries to preserve the Web of Time by forcing two very different versions of the Doctor into existence, in the hope that a major difference in the timelines will prevent the war-timeline from taking precedence. War and Shalka coexist in different versions of the same four centuries: the war in one version, adventures as usual in the other version.

The War Doctor fights battles on all dimensional fronts of the war, against both the Daleks and the Enemy. In the end he (unknowingly) reaches the same conclusion as his previous self and uses the Moment, who forces him to live with all his memories.

The war timeline is Time-Locked out of existence, so that the Warrior technically never existed and Shalka regenerates into Nine. But because Time Lords remember altered timelines, Nine comes out remembering his time as Shalka but ALSO all the horrors of both the Dalek Front and the War in Heaven, and knowing he destroyed not one but two fully-inhabited Gallifreys.

And so the timelines actually make perfect sense :D

i have two ideas/au if tenma ever appears in VR

first one. He is like a big brother figuur to haru, he used to babysit him when haru was younger and lets him have days with his new dog (sadly sasuke cannot live forever)

second idea. tenma for some reason becomes the new coach for one of the rival teams and his honestly just trying to get the kids to get rid of the toxic and bad habits they got from their past coach and make the team a safe place for them.

big bro Tenma 🫶 after babysitting haru I can see him still appearing every now and then as a cool older kid (or wherever the timeline would place his age at) who gives important advice for the situation, on purpose or not! and he definitely deserves a new dog!!

a bigass japanese akita was the first one to come to mind, I can't get rid of the idea that she'd be called Kinako... (and if he had a western breed, maybe Arthur?)

also, uh, sharing an idea I got from here because at first my brain read Haru as Unmei and ran with it before I could confirm. but it has a tiiiny reference to VR beta victory gallery so I'm putting it under read more for easy skipping!

yeah so, that one Unmei ref sheet makes it seem like he spent some time in hospital when he was young, so my first thought about VR Tenma was "what if he keeps going to hang out at the hospital and playing soccer with kids stuck there and he brings his dog to the yard sometimes"

(90% of the time drawing this went to figuring out what the heck to do with Tenma's hair lol)

Kudos to anyone making ocgrams, that's really an impressive amount of content 👁👁

bored. does anyone wanna see an excerpt from this hilson mgv fic

[silvertiefling]

ANYWAY big shoutout to picrew so i can design katya and @estarion's children without having to worry about actually drawing (not yet anyway)-

the oldest (left) a princess who goes through a phase of wearing dog ears because she wants to look like mommy but only inherited her moms hair and freckles (later she starts wearing a tiara instead of the dog ears)

the twins (right) theres only one because all babies look the same, but one girl, one boy, look like pale angels but are actually satanic spawn and give off the twins from the shining vibe, inherited katyas freckles and horns and eyes but clearly astarion's kids

all have an aversion to shoes because mommy hates shoes, astarion constantly tries to dress them nice and it fails because theyre terrible children who get messy and destroy things

This morning I was thinking how to get Niara to Marineford and include her in the canon timeline...

Lot of text under the cut (as well as spoilers), so beware.

So last thing we know is Niara was sailing with Ace and his former crew until they somehow split. I'm not sure if Ginny and Niara exist in the same timeline but if so, they might have known each other too but are not close or anything. I don't think Niara would have supported Ginny's decision to join the marines at all. Perhaps to make this interesting for later, they could have been crewmates and then had a falling out over this the last time they saw each other.

Now, Niara and Ace remain close friends until... perhaps Niara has the opportunity to visit the island her mother was born on (because she needs a valid reason to leave the crew). Let's say her mother's family was not keen on Niara's mother marrying Niara's father and they had very little contact, if all, if her mother after that. So Niara shows up, gets to know them and they all like each other and Niara is reminded of her mother so much and for the first time in a long time feels loved by members of her family. Eventually, the crew has to sail on but with a heavy heart, Niara decidedes to stay a little longer. So she and the others part but she and Ace promise each other they will see each other again and that Niara can come back anytime.

Niara's time with her mother's family is great and she gets along especially great with her grandparents who adore her. She stays way too long, knowing that they're old and by the time she will be able to come here again, they might not be around anymore. But she also starts to long for adventures on sea again and also fears that one day her father or siblings could show up here to arrest her. She hasn't gotten a bounty yet but they know what she's been doing, so she is worried.

Niara's grandfather tells her to train her powers better. She has barely scratched the surface of what her devil fruit powers can do! But for her, that only reminds her of her father forcing her to eat the devil fruit and trying to turn her into someone she's not, a logia fruit user set for a navy career, quickly rising to the highest marine ranks. While Niara does train, she still refuses to try and fully awaken her powers, saying this is never what she wanted to become.

Eventually, her grandfather helps her to get onto a ship and she travels to Sabaody with them, ready to join another crew or, better yet, join up with her old one again. But they are no more and Ace is now with Whitebeard and everyone has moved on without her. Niara feels that she, too, has to make a name for herself now and joins a crew in Sabaody.

Long story short, they make it into the new world but get beaten pretty soon and join the ranks of the crew that has beaten them. Niara does make friends there, but her heart is not really in it. The new world is different in so many ways and she realizes that perhaps she does have to train a lot more.

Then she gets the news of Ace's imprisonment and is devastated. Of course she can't march into Impel Down to set him free but she tries to convince her current crew to go to Marineford but they refuse. So Niara splits with them and tries to get there on her own, knowing she has very little chance to archive anything but she can't let it go either.

Marineford happens... Niara is there fighting... I do want Ace to see her being there fighting for him... but... she's not strong enough and eventually, just gets knocked out. Her being there and being recognized earns her her first bounty though. She does get saved and that's when she first meets Luffy. I think I want her to get saved and brought on the Polar Tang when Luffy is taken there in the end, so she can later form a bond with Luffy and meet Law for the first time.

Eventually, while being on Boa Hancock's island, Niara and Luffy bond over their loss and when Luffy makes the decision to meet up with his own crew in two years after everyone has become stronger, he tells Niara she can join too if she wants. Niara takes the opportunity to get some training too and after the timeskip, she joins the strawhat crew.

Her getting to know Law better won't happen until Punk Hazard.

I think it works better if Niara joins after the timeskip while having Neri be with the Strawhat Crew from more or less the beginning.
