how well would your ocs do against a cockroach tag game

rules: yeah that's it. that's the tag. idk if anyone has done this before but rate your ocs by how well they'd do against a cockroach.

gonna be a lil annoying and tag a biiiiit more people sorry lol. no pressure to join in tho!!! and anyone else who wants to can hop in. @lyssa-ink @reneesbooks @macabremoons @space-writes @squarebracket-trick @scribbling-stardust @toribookworm22 @lorenfinch @sapphos-scientist @e-klair @arctic-oceans @sidhewrites @loopyhoopywrites @hallwriteblr @talesofsorrowandofruin @cream-and-tea

(anyway the rest is under the cut bcuz I have a LOT of characters so I'm gonna go a bit insane. Pulling from Beast as always)

Crys: - doesn't bat an eyelash, kills it easily - merciless, 10/10

Icarus: - a lil startled, will jump if it flies at him, but manages to catch it and set it free outside - 8/10. this boi is too good for this world

Rhyme: - begins by trying to smash it to a pulp - rapidly gets more and more irritated when she keeps on missing - finally lets out a primal scream of rage and fireballs it - 6/10 because she nearly burns down the house

Sol: - lets out an undignified squeak - leaves the room - if it flies at him he's sprinting out of there - 3/10

Dahlia - rolls up a newspaper and whacks it a few times?? like a normal person??? - 9/10

Beatriz: - faints - poor bbg can't handle the terror - 0/10 - alternatively shoots her feathers and skillfully punts it out the window - so overall actually 5/10

Honorary mentions

Iri and Yuan: - incoherent screeching - KILL IT KILL IT WITH FIRE - both trying to get behind the other - so many feathers embedded in the floor. so many - Iri scales up Yuan's back and stays there on his shoulders like an overgrown squirrel - 0/10

Jorge and Jordan - they catch it - and store it with their dozen other cockroaches used to prank people - 10/10, but I'm docking points for the malicious intent

🎁 What would be the perfect gift to buy your OC? What would be the worst gift? Are they themselves any good at gifting things or are they really indescisive? How do they wrap their presents? For the ROs!!

Matt is someone who gives and likes to receive functional gifts where possible. He doesn't want a gift just for the sake of it and won't give one just for the sake of it either. His things are entirely adequately wrapped but they will not be neat.

Eve does quite like to receive gifts but she's someone who would prefer to receive things she's requested, whether that's books or specific clothes or something similar. Books are her default gift for people and they will be very well wrapped. A card along with the gift will always be beautiful, picked very specifically.

Alex is a great gifter and receiver. They pick things up when they see them for people they love and will always gift many small things. Anything that is a thoughtful gift is perfect for them. Wrapping is often haphazard, clearly done at the last minute. They have been known to wrap with tissue paper and put everything in a colourful bag.

Jordan is an indecisive but great gifter. Everything they gift will be extremely thought out and will be the best thing they've been able to find. They prefer to receive experiences rather than items in return and like to have experiences they can share with the gifter, usually because they don't have lots of space to store their own things. Their wrapping skills are entirely average.

Char loves to receive gifts but isn't a great gifter, mostly because he isn't great at remembering to buy things for certain dates. A good gift for them would be some nice coffee, a patch or something else that you like and would like to share with them. They wrap badly, roughly and often on the way to an event.

Bo-yeon is not a gift-giver for no reason and doesn't love receiving gifts for nothing either. A nice quality food/bottle of wine is the safest food to gift xem. People xe cares about will always receive a gift on the relevant occasions and they will be thoughtful but not overly extravagant unless specifically requested. The wrapping is flawless, xe's one of those people who can wrap cylinders and bottles perfectly.

I’m dying to try this out the NSFT alphabet (by @the-coldest-goodbye) if anyone wants to send in a letter or 2 for Jordan Li or the Mauler Twins <3

[one-half-guy]

I know absolutely nothing about DC; it took two of my friends and me a whopping seventy-two tries to guess that it stands for Detective Comics, lol. Can you explain who the Green Lantern, like... is, in canon and fanon? And why he's a good or not a good choice for Silver?🍀

Okay, in short, the Green Lanterns are a whole space police troop that patrol and act under the vow to protect people across the whole universe of the DC comics, they use as weapon rings that allows them to contruct anything with pure energy as long as they can imagine it and that are as strong as their willpower (that's literally the fuel to their powers).

Each Green Lantern is tasked to protect a sector of the universe if/when the ring chooses them (as far as I recall, the sector from which they are from) and the comics so focus Earth's sector Green Lantern, as he is the one who usually interacts with the other heroes

So far nothing like Silver, who acts completely on his own and is not affiliated to any formal team, but there are a few similarities between the characters:

Their powers are unique compared to the main cast, but there's countless people with very similar powers as them where they come from (as it's stated psychic powers are the norm in Silver's future in one of his bios and the Green Lanterns use the same rings, thus having exactly the same powers)

Both characters are very devoted to protect the world

Both characters are very strong willed (Silver is willing to cross time to protect the world and strong willpower is a requirement to become a Green Lantern) and so both hardly give up

They both can neutralize the main symbol of hope in their worlds in a fight thanks to a very specific power (If Silver manages to catch Sonic with his psychokinesis, he can finish him rather easily and Green Lantern can produce Superman's weakness, kryptonite)

Unlike Silver and his time, the Green Lantern and his troop are very well explored and used in the main media, having his own series where characters surrounding them assume a main role, but both characters suffer of poor adaptations to spin-offs that undermine them to prop up another characters and/or change their personalities into a totally different one (What then was incorporated into fanon, that causes them to be very underestimated by the fanbase as well as mischaracterized)

hmm random but does anyone have any ideas or headcanons about what Adam and Jordan’s dynamic would be like?

Michael “Mickey” Mouse ▪ 34 ▪ Cis Male ▪ He/Him/His ▪ Michael B. Jordan ▪ Evil ▪ Open 

Triggers: Poverty, Infertility, Depression

→ Past 

Born into poverty, Mickey never expected to get a girl like Minnie. She was sought after by many, but he loved her deeply. He knew he could be better to Minnie than her other suitors and treated her with the respect she deserved. His persistence paid off. Minnie fell for his cheeky nature and his kind words. However, once Mickey had Minnie’s love, he went to great lengths to keep her happy. He lied to her when things went awry and became involved in crazy antics. Mickey had big dreams for them. However, she soon became frustrated with his lies and went to another man. When she left him for Mortimer Mouse, Mickey was heartbroken. Eventually, she came back, but only when he told her he’d change. He promised never to deceive her again. Mickey was still prone to trouble, but Minnie showed no signs of leaving again. After a long time of having wild adventures, Mickey decided to ask Minnie to marry him. Once she accepted, he knew it was time to settle down. He became the apprentice of a sorcerer and learned from him. Mickey became very powerful, though not after a few accidents and many pranks. He was soon well known across the kingdom and earned his own castle. He began to help those in need and the kingdom prospered. Their life was perfect and for the first time, Mickey could breathe. 

→ Present 

When Ravena joined the castle staff, Mickey began to change. His grief made him susceptible to her, as did his trusting nature. He was in shock at the time, having just found out Minnie could never have children. He never worked so hard to fix something, but magic didn’t work. He couldn’t change a thing. The two of them barely saw each other during that time, both in pain at their loss. He did not notice his magic slowly corrupting him, making him darker. He found himself in Cinderella’s employment after killing Mortimer Mouse in what could only be described as a fit of jealousy. He needed her help to cover the incident up. His temper has become shorter, he is more possessive, and he is willing to cast spells for her, even the kind that would kill an innocent person. While Mickey still laughs and jokes in front of his friends, he is a different man. He tries to hide it but is not always successful. He exploded once and Minnie disappeared soon after. When she returned, he was relieved. He vowed to keep a closer eye on her, but he is afraid she will be scared off again. So, Mickey is trying to recapture who he once was and who most people still think he is. Too bad he has all but lost the battle with his own darkness.

Im not sure if this has been asked yet, but how would each RO react to receiving a spicy picture/text from MC while they’re working?

Matt would be pretty receptive to it. It would probably wake him up from the monotony of his job but he wouldn't reply too quickly; he doesn't want to actually get fired.

Eve wouldn't be comfortable receiving something like that while at work. She'd ask you to refrain in future, especially with pictures.

Alex would have to sneak off and reply in kind, it's their way and they do quite like sending a little spicy picture of themself. They're not shy in that way.

Jordan wouldn't be comfortable with it. They'd ask you to respect their boundaries and to not send them these kinds of things to them without asking.

Char would briefly look at it, play it off so well and then tell you that he can't look at this kind of stuff in the day but you'd be welcome to show them in person.

Bo-yeon would reply quickly telling you not to message this to xem while xe's at work. It's not appropriate and xe works hard to look as professional as xe can. That being said, xe wouldn't be unhappy to receive messages like that in other circumstances.

I’m a Palestinian American. Here’s Why I Can’t Support the Anti-Israel Protesters. By Elizabeth Gillanders. August 16, 2024

Walking past Union Station in the nation’s capital, I recently was met with a heartbreaking sight. Vandals had defaced the Columbus Memorial Fountain with spray paint, writing the words “Hamas is coming” in big red letters.

Trash and signs discarded by anti-Israel protesters littered the ground. A burnt shopping cart stood off to one side with piles of ash beneath it.

Most depressing, however, were the three bare flag poles that had been robbed of their American flags. Protesters had burned the flags, the only remnant a charred piece of fabric atop another pile of ash.

This was the aftermath of the July 24 “pro-Palestinian” protests in Washington, D.C., organized in response to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address that day to a joint meeting of Congress.

As an American of Palestinian heritage, some expect me to cheer on these people. They expect me to condemn the U.S., hate Israel, and support Hamas, a terrorist organization dedicated to wiping out the Jewish state.

But these expectations don’t represent me, nor my family.

I inherit my Palestinian background from my mother’s side of the family; her parents emigrated to America from the Middle East. My grandma was born in Israel and later moved to Ramallah in the West Bank and eventually to Jordan.

After arriving in America in her 20s, my grandma worked hard to become a U.S. citizen. She learned the English language while raising my mother and uncle. She opened a restaurant with my grandpa, lovingly named the Chicken Pantry, in Hamtramck, Michigan. When that business closed, my grandma worked as a real estate agent before eventually retiring in the land of prosperity.

America brought my family prosperity. My grandparents taught my mother to “kiss the ground you walk on” because they knew what a blessing America is.

They passed this lesson on to me.

Although many seem to think that my Palestinian heritage should cause me to align with protests that supposedly are “pro-Palestinian,” it’s precisely because of my heritage that I cannot do that.

Israel went to war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip only after Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1,200 and kidnapped about 250 in a rampage of rape, torture, and murder Oct. 7 in southern Israel.

About 10 months later, as pro-Hamas protesters march in this country to “free Palestine,” they call for the death of America. As they burn the American flag, they burn all that my family has worked to achieve.

As the protesters pledge their allegiance to Hamas, they encourage a group that my grandmother wouldn’t hesitate to call a terrorist organization that operates with a strategy of human sacrifice.

Think about it. Why are there no Hamas military bases in the Gaza Strip adjoining Israel? Because the terrorists hide behind their own people.

They dress like noncombatants in Gaza. They establish bunkers in hospitals. They commandeer ambulances for transportation.

These actions are all in direct violation of Article 18 of the Geneva Conventions, the international pacts that set minimum standards during armed conflict for the treatment of civilians, soldiers, and prisoners of war.

One example is Hamas’ use of Gaza’s most important hospital, Al-Shifa. According to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, Hamas uses a bunker under the hospital as a base for military operations. This not only makes the hospital a target, but takes medical resources needed for the sick.

In contrast, the Israel Defense Forces have given civilians in Gaza opportunities to evacuate and warned of impending attacks. No other nation goes this far to protect enemy civilians.

How can I support pro-Hamas demonstrators who wish to end the nation that brought my family so much? How can I back a terrorist group that uses its own people as human shields? How can I hate Israel, when the IDF has worked to keep Palestinian civilians out of harm’s way?

I believe it’s important to point out that, contrary to popular belief, not all Arabs think the same. Some of us do see this conflict differently. And our thoughts and beliefs should not be snuffed out because they go against the “narrative.”

To some, perhaps our stance makes us walking oxymorons. But we are proud ones, nonetheless.
