#changing the past or future

[butchfalin]

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

I love how Gerald was trying to keep Shadow from spoiling anything about the future meanwhile literally everything Shadow says and does around Maria is the biggest death flag ever

Powerful businessman Russ Duritz is self-absorbed and immersed in his work. But by the magic of the moon, he meets Rusty, a chubby, charming 8-year-old version of himself who can’t believe he could turn out so badly – with no life and no dog. With Rusty’s help, Russ is able to reconcile the person he used to dream of being with the man he’s actually become. Credits: TheMovieDb.

Huff Movie Reviews: r96sk: What a pleasant surprise. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy ‘The Kid’ as much as I did. Bruce Willis and Spencer Breslin team up to solid effect, in a film that produces amusement and wholesomeness. I find the premise very interesting, it’s a cool concept. While they might not executed to 100% perfection, what’s given is entertaining to see unfold. There are some very sweet scenes, also. Willis is, as you’d expect, the best part of this, but I think Breslin does a grand job too. The latter tended to do these sorta roles a lot, but there’s a reason for that as he played them convincingly. Emily Mortimer (Amy) is als...

Oh my gosh your art is so beautiful!! How do you think S1 Robotnik and Stone would react to seeing their S3/ S4 versions being with each other?

When Legends Z-A got announced we all jumped up and down and clapped and said "yay! yippee! what established character is going to be wrenched away from their loved ones and isekai-ed to another time period in this game?" But now I wonder: what if Z-A flips the script? What if we meet a pre-established character in the Lumiose of the future, and they're either the same age or younger than they were in the past — but they don't have amnesia? And they're happy, and there's not a single indication that they don't belong? They're either a Lumiose native, or someone who confidently states where they came from?

Except... somewhere along the line, somewhere in the hubbub of the plot... they just disappear? Either silently, or in a way that we get the heartbreak of seeing. Maybe Hoopa's involved in the plot, conjuring portals with its rings like it did in Hoenn. Maybe something even weirder happens. But we have to reckon with the fact that our friend, who was happy here, who was at home here, has just disappeared.

And the thing we really have to reckon with is this: we know where they are. We know where they ended up. Because we've met them before in this series. We've met them in an earlier time. That was the version of themself with amnesia. The version that lost more than they can imagine. Whatever region we met them in, they weren't from there. Whatever era we met them in, they weren't from then.

The possibilities are as endless as there are Pokémon characters... but, this is essentially what I think will happen to Looker. Who, lest we forget, washed up on a beach with amnesia and a Mega Stone in his pocket back in ORAS.

[the-cassandriad]

i've not written poetry in years (i'm more of a novelist) but i allowed myself some cassandra thoughts (as a treat). i actually had a lot of fun with this and i'm desperate to do more with the idea in the future so we will see.

inspired obviously by my own muses, @two-bees-poetry for the brilliant contrapuntal poems about greek myth, and anne carson, specifically when she talks about cassandra's speech being split in two and her bridging of past and future!

more of my logic in the tags because i'm annoying!

Prompt 198

Now Bruce was not expecting to reincarnate upon his death. At least he thinks he died, he’s pretty sure he did. There wasn’t any other reason for him to be a well, literal baby. Around two he thinks, which fits well with the fact that it’s around that time that babies start forming memory recall, if he, well, remembered correctly. 

But while he knew about reincarnation thanks to Shayera and Carter, he’d never exactly given it much thought towards himself. Because seriously, what were the chances of such a thing as him being given another chance? 

So he was quite surprised at his situation, experimentally opening and closing pudgy hands that looked well, just a tiny bit off. He’d never been that pale before, he thinks, even back when he never went outside like, ever. 

He turned his gaze towards the mobile above him with a sort of idle curiosity- a mixture of bats (ha) and other trinkets he wasn’t familiar with. It also caused him to get his first good look at his parent, asleep on a rocking chair right next to the crib. 

Huh. They had the same pale skin he did, albeit in the light it looked like it was slightly tinted blue, and while their hair was white they didn’t exactly look old. They looked surprisingly well rested for raising a toddler too, unless they had a nanny or something similar… He rolled over, managing to very shakily push himself to his feet with the help of the crib. 

Why was standing so hard as a toddler? And why did he have his memories of everything except how he had died anyway? 

His head whipped up from where they were staring at his feet when he heard a snort, finding his parent awake and standing. Somehow silently enough that he hadn’t noticed- or he was that easily distracted by the unfamiliar giddiness bursting in his chest. 

“Morning little bat,” his parent easily picked him up and held him while he inwardly sighed at the nickname. Of course his bat motif would follow him into this life. A low rumbling almost caused him to jump, his body relaxing before he could fully register the sound. The… purring? 

Oh. 

He wasn’t human this time around.

“The greatest weight.-- What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: "This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence - even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again, and you with it, speck of dust!" Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus?... Or how well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal?”

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

In the same way that this blog has given you something to hold on to and look forward to, seeing these comics has given me something to hold on to and look forward to in some bleak times too. Thank you for sharing your art and your journey and your commentary and your jokes. They mean a lot to me and I’m certainly not the only one. Keep “”””””poorly”””””” drawing <3

Thank you so much for joining me on this journey of trying to get by, and learning to stay silly and hopeful.

[crystallizedtwilight]

Ok so this is very silly. But.

Crochawk getting completely and utterly done with the Shuggy drama so they have a strategy meeting (date).

Croc: something must be done.

Mihawk: agreed. Obviously the first choice would be to kill one of them, but we have already committed to the clown as our figurehead, and akagami…

Croc: it would not be simple. Akagami is also the only emperor beyond our own who can be reasoned with. It seems a waste to do away with her, and/or get rid of the clown this early in the game.

Mihawk: but this…pining is intolerable. I have already been forced to offer advice.

Croc: yes. And I fear that creating more strife between them would only increase it. Which leaves us with one available option.

(cue a romcom of errors in which Crochawk try to get Shuggy back together, except Shuggy are Like That and Crochawk are completely, utterly insane and have NO idea of what normal romance is like)

S1E1:

"What is more romantic than a life or death situation?" - Hawk "Brilliant." - Croc (cut to shuggy screaming)

S Finale:

Shanks delivers a heartfelt confession. After a dramatic pause, sparkling eyes, and sweeping music Buggy answers, "hmph, no...I'm still mad at you" and crochawk SHOVE them together like oh no you DON'T we've worked too hard—and rat Buggy out about how much she's cried to them about missing Shanks
