I have no idea what I doing there

[squishy-lombax]

Art trade with @jettspaghet of their OC Opening Move. Her color scheme was what drew me in, plus, her talent/cutiemark was very unique! This particular pony is drawn in my own style, instead of mimicking the G4 style like my previous trades. I'll reblog what I received in return once they upload.

If anyone else is interested in MLP = MLP art trades, DM me!

1 for Darkwing Duck

let the paragraphs begin!/j

Characters <3 (OG Ask Game)

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

(This is going to be a paragraph be prepared)

So first of, Darkwing's honestly just really funny. He is the smartest idiot you'll ever meet (The 'breadcrumb on the bridge' scene lives rent free in my head iykyk). He has such a based disguise, but somehow also no swag (at least three villainesseses have fallen for him regardless). He survives purely out of luck and children's-cartoon-protagonist-powers. He saves lives every night and no one respects him. His name is Male Duck. THE character of all time

Also, Darkwing has quite...interesting morals. Like, he isn't gonna kill people, but he also doesn't really care, if they just so happen to die (this is canon) He's also incredibly self-absorbed, to the point it can interfere with how he interacts with other people (though he's also masking his insecurities and trauma, which on that note, I'm a sucker for a sad backstory), but that doesn't mean he doesn't care

With that said, MAN Darkwing CARES. That man got a family in the span of one day, and was immeditaely ready to die for them. Even if he can be clouded by his own ego, he loves Launchpad, and he loves Gosalyn, and he loves being a hero, and he loves being a dad, and he loves being a friend His interactions with Nega-Gosalyn uhwefiohusdf you can not expect me to be normal about that! I will never shut up about Darkly Dawns the Duck, or Steerminator, or Crisis of Infinite Darkwings, I simply can't Not even mentioning the fact that, after years off being completely absorbed into his hero-identity and completely shutting himself of from society, Launchpad is the first person he trusts so completely, he reveals his identity to him. He doesn't just let him into his life as a sidekick, but explicitly as a member of his new family

But (and this is prob one of my favourite tropes any superhero-media can do ever), Darkwing is also shown to care about his villains, though more so in the comics, than the show Of course - one of my favourites - "Dawn of the Day of the Return of the Living Spud". When Darkwing decides to call Bushroot by his first name, to just completely level with him as a person. The situation requires urgency and action, but he knows why Reginald can't do it. He has seen how far that man was willing to go for company, he knows how lonely he is. Darkwing can't force him, so he reasons with him, because Bushroot is not imcapable of being reasoned with. And then even once Posey has already been defeated, and so the stakes are no longer there, Darkwing checks up on him again. He obviously cares about how Reggie is feeling after this. Because while he might think the entire potato-wife-plan was crazy, he can understand how important it was to Bushroot, and how he was forced to kill the only living being he thought came close to being like him

Then there's of course also the entire thing with Quackerjack in "Toy with Me", and Claire humbling him with the idea that Quackerjack (and villains in general), are people beyond what Darkwing sees them as. And while he unfortunately never really got the chance to talk it out with QJ, both times Darkwing had that moment of "trust me, I get it" (For Bushroot it was the loneliness, for QJ wanting to be better than everyone else) And characters like Darkwarrior Duck prove that Darkwing is not above becoming a villain himself, if the circumstances were right. It shows that - to an extent ofc - being a villain or not depends on luck, and is not some unavoidable destiny In some aspects, he's not all too different from them

I love Darkwing Duck, I know that may not have been obvious /j

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

I'm sure this also exists internationally, though I'm not sure to which extent, but here in Germany there's a pretty well-known children's book series called "Conni"

Most of these books are just about a young Conni either expieriencing new things for the first time and learning about them, or learning how to deal with new emotions

And while Jonas is definitely older than Conni is in most of these books:

1. I'm pretty sure if I take Jonas out of his "squeeky-clean" and organized society and put him in anything with too much action, he will explode

2. Because of the whole 'discovering new memories' thing, I think Jonas would actually quite profit from and enjoy learning about all these "mundane" things with Conni. He'd basically just get to have a semi-normal childhood

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

At first I was a little stumped at this one, but then it hit me like a truck

I Deserve to Bleed, by Sushi Soucy

That man carries so much guilt and blame within himself, he is Not Okay. He still blamed mostly himself after Kalagan blew up his home

I truly believe that after everything he did in the books, if Kalagan had abandoned his plan even a little early, and made up with Dante, he would have accepted it in a heartbeat, because he was so haunted by his actions, he would have done anything to get back what he once had

"Sympathy and love, we can extent to someone else But it's harder, when you have to love yourself"

6. What's something you have in common with this character?

Oh, I should really re-read the books somewhen. I do have to admit, I don't remember that much about Theo, unfortunately (minus his arcs in the third book, but I have opinions about how those were handled by the plot)

Though from the things I do remember, his "secret" in the fourth book sticks out the most to me. The fact that he keeps thinking about his dove a lot, and tries to imagine what he could have done better I'm also someone who tends to overthink on past scenarios, and how they could have been handled better/differently, especially if I think, I could have fault in said situation

21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

I have yet to actually write a proper MM-Fic tbh, so I'm using this oppurtunity to talk about Good Uncle Sly a little bit

Because as I have said once before, I'd like the Kalagans to connect with the Misfits a little bit, using something that they share (for Theo it's family expectations, Ridley using caution and distrust in order to keep people safe, etc.) For him and Leila, I would get them to connect over their respective times in the orphanage. Because no one in these books who went to an orphanage came out alright (/lh)

So I guess, in one way or another, you could say I like writing a bit more about Leila's trauma. I think trauma exploration in characters is always fun

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

I've mentioned this before in passing, but definitely Kilroy and Kincaid, but also Olly and Izzy

Like, Flim and Flam are not evil! At best, they're mean. The worst thing they did imo, was sell fake medicine, otherwise they're just petty scammers and jerks (and in their very first appearance, they weren't even scammers, technically!). But they are very much still schemy business boys

But of course, they have this inherent togetherness. It is literally baked into their characters, looking at their cutie marks; like, those boys were never gonna go off and each do their own thing Like honestly? The whole thing Kincaid does, where he turns himself in to be with his brother, because there is no way to get him out? I could see Flim and Flam doing that

Though I'm throwing Olly and Izzy in here too, because the Kalagans are just slightly missing the very important showman-ship aspect Flim and Flam have. Like don't get me wrong, they are magicians, and they put on "shows", when they rob people. But the way the Goldens perform is just a lot more reminiscent, of how Flim and Flam do it, especially when it comes to overall energy and vibe. You could throw all four of them into the same routine, and they would ace it. Also, both of them are rocking the Barbershop-Quartet fit; straw hats and striped jackets and all

And lastly, they are of course all rocking the Identical Twin Swag (well, Olly and Izzy are fraternal ig, but you get what I mean :P )

Thank you so much for the ask, Shadow! :D

If ternet ninja and fluffy pony crossover. FUNNY JOKES MOMENT

Plot: The Fluffpocalypse

Phillip Eberfrø, the villain from Checkered Ninja, escapes justice once again. Hiding in a secret lab, he creates an army of bio-engineered fluffy ponies, thinking they will be obedient, cute distractions while he rebuilds his empire.

But, as expected… things go horribly wrong.

The fluffy ponies are dumb and useless, constantly begging for “sketties” instead of following orders.

One of them, a Smarty Fluffy, declares himself the leader and immediately turns against Eberfrø, demanding "nummies" instead of serving him.

Eberfrø, enraged, tries to discipline them, but instead, he ends up trapped in a room full of screaming, pooping fluffies.

Checkered Ninja & Aske Enter the Chaos

Checkered Ninja and Aske hear about a mysterious new crime empire and investigate.

When they arrive, they are met with a horrifyingly adorable nightmare:

Thousands of fluffy ponies overrunning the city, demanding hugs, food, and causing absolute destruction.

Buildings are covered in poop, streets are blocked by fluffies stuck in doors, and panicked citizens flee from hug-crazed herds.

Checkered Ninja is horrified.

“This… is worse than anything Eberfrø has ever done.”

Aske, on the other hand, finds it kind of funny… until a Smarty Fluffy bites his shoe and calls him a “dummeh hoomin.”

The Ninja vs. The Fluffies

Checkered Ninja, disgusted by the chaos, declares war on the fluffies.

Using brutal ninja skills, he flips, kicks, and slices through the annoying herds, but for every fluffy defeated, ten more appear.

The fluffies, in their stupidity, think it’s a game.

“Yay! Fwen gib huggies! Owies game am fun!”

Aske gets swarmed by fluffy foals crying for a “daddy,” and he almost drowns in a sea of cute but gross creatures.

Eberfrø’s Final Stand (Ruined by Fluffies)

Eberfrø, realizing he’s lost control, tries to escape.

However, the fluffies accidentally ruin his getaway:

A herd of fat fluffies block his car.

A “poopie babbeh” cries so loudly that the police find his hideout.

A fluffy falls from the ceiling and knocks him unconscious.

Checkered Ninja and Aske don’t even need to fight him—he’s already defeated by his own creations.

Eberfrø is arrested… again.

The Aftermath: What Happens to the Fluffies?

Some fluffies get adopted, but others are too annoying and get sent to fluffy pony farms.

Checkered Ninja warns Aske: “If you EVER bring one of these creatures home… I will personally throw you into a volcano.”

Aske, traumatized, agrees.

The world is safe… for now.

But rumors of a new, stronger, and dumber fluffy pony army begin to spread.

Final Verdict: Who Wins?

✅ Checkered Ninja & Aske win… but at what cost? ❌ Eberfrø loses, again. ❌ The fluffies… well, they just keep being dumb.

Dating Darry Curtis HC’s ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Darrel “Darry” Curtis x Fem!Reader

୨୧ : What I think dating ‘Superman’ would include

A/N : I’ve been busy but school’s out now so hopefully I can work on requests 💔. Also ily Jake Gyllenhaal but they should’ve never remade Roadhouse..

˖⁺‧₊˚ 🕊️ ˚₊‧⁺˖

୨ I hate to say it (not really), but you’re like a married couple

୨ The gang calls you mom and dad as a joke

୨ You guys are so sitting on a porch with wind chimes and birds chirping in the bg and the warmth of the sun hitting your skin coded

୨ You’re so disgustingly in love and it makes everyone sick

୨ I feel like bcs of how he’s portrayed and the responsibilities/stress he takes on from the entire gang, it makes him seem way older than he is

୨ That’s also probably due to Patrick Swayze being 31 instead of 20 while filming and also being 15 years older than C Thomas Howell irl instead of the 6 year age gap their characters actually had…

୨ Anyways, you help him actually act more his age

୨ You convince him to go out more, etc

୨ Everyone’s happy to see him let loose once in a while

୨ Like you guys mess around when you bake/cook together by throwing flour at each other and giggling omg I’m vomiting

୨ You guys are sometimes (very rarely) even spotted at Buck’s together and Dallas has to do a double take

୨ You also bribe the boys to give you guys or just him in general some alone time LMAO

୨ You absolutely slow dance in the kitchen. Idc.

୨ He’s the type to call you “a real treat” when you dress up or do something nice for him

୨ Going shopping together and him walking around with his lil’ glasses reading the grocery list while you push the cart

୨ Sitting in his lap while he reads the newspaper ohahahwbrbrbnrne

୨ You guys definitely met early on; slow burn

୨ You were SO ‘So High School’ by Taylor Swift when you were a little bit younger

୨ Been in the works of writing a ff abt that..

୨ FINALLY officially asked you out senior year for prom and you’ve been together since, even though you guys were in love way before that

୨ You definitely have to get in between his and Pony’s fights a lot

୨ Soda comes to you for advice, no matter what it is- he thinks it’s refreshing to have someone new to talk to rather than constant arguing, yada yada

୨ Dallas either flirts with you to piss Darry off or he has a relationship with you like he did with Mrs. Curtis. No in between.

୨ The type of man to give you foot massages

୨ On the contrary, you also massage his shoulders

୨ Johnny probably had a tiny crush on you when you first met him years back, but it went away when you guys started dating

୨ Went away to an extent at least..

୨ Him standing between your legs while you’re sat on the sink shaving his face for him GODODODODID

୨ He says “honey, I’m home” unironically

୨ He’s able to pick you up pretty easily no matter your weight

୨ He does it a lot and it’s mainly to show off LMAO

୨ You guys play checkers together and genuinely enjoy it which doesn’t help your mom/dad allegations

୨ EXTREMELY good at calming you down whether it’s a panic attack, etc

୨ He might lose his temper a lot on his brothers, but he never does it with you

୨ If he ever does accidentally snap at you, he apologizes to no end

୨ He’s touching you whenever he can; a hand on your waist, around your shoulder, keeping you on his lap, a finger in your belt loop, etc

୨ Speaking of belt loops, you pulling him in by the loops or his belt buckle to kiss him⁉️⁉️⁉️ I’m losing it

୨ Whenever any sort of errand needs to be run, he either forces Pony/Soda to do it, or makes you come with him alone

୨ He buys you flowers whenever he has the extra money ☹️

୨ Has his moms wedding ring kept someplace safe to give to you one day

୨ On another note, she loved you so much before she passed

୨ She was also constantly teasing him about you two when you guys were younger

୨ If he’s exhausted from work and flops onto the couch with you, don’t expect to be getting up anytime soon

୨ Back to the ‘him going out more’ point- you guys go to rodeos together whenever he knows Pony is being watched by someone else

୨ Calming lil’ picnics together by a lake

୨ He unfortunately will have to cancel plans a good amount because of work-related stuff, but you completely understand

୨ He’s pretty stubborn about letting you help with money, but he gives in sometimes

୨ You leave him cute notes in the lunch that he takes to work <\\3

୨ He for sure keeps a hand on your thigh or knee while driving

୨ There’s no doubt in my mind you’d grow old together

୨ He’s thankful for you in so many ways and is glad you’re able to help his life feel normal again and like an actual 20 year-old

Day 1: Baby’s First Birthday

Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto x Reader

Summary: Carmy is just such a girl dad.

My Directory

Birthday Blurbs 2024

“Yo, Carm! Over here, good?” Marcus called from a picnic table decorated with a checkered pastel tablecloth and bouquets of roses and honeysuckle. Carmy looked over his shoulder and gave an okay before returning to hanging fairy lights along the back deck. 

“Oh my gosh!” you gushed as you came through the sliding glass back door. Carmy smiled triumphantly as you looked around the backyard. When he’d tasked himself with planning and organizing your daughter’s first birthday, you knew he would go overboard. At just a year old, Elena Maire Berzatto was absolutely spoiled by her father, and you knew today would be the whole horse and pony show. Gourmet small bites, rainbow drinks, and desserts galore with a special pastel colored smash cake- perfect for his little girl.

“I’m glad you like it, baby.” Carmy smiled, putting an arm around your shoulders. You kissed his cheek before the gate swung open, revealing the first of the guests to arrive. “I’ll go get the princess,” you stated. Carmy shook his head. Go relax, enjoy yourself. I’ll go grab Elena.”

Carmy entered the nursery to see your daughter standing in her crib. Pudgy little hands holding onto the bar for dear life. Her sandy brown curls were in a wild mess as she furiously sucked her pacifier. When her darker blue eyes met his, Carmy felt himself melt. “Hey there birthday girl.” he cooed softly as he scooped up the baby in his arms, “Today is a big day baby. You’re one today…” he narrated as he set her down on her changing table. Elena began to babble, making Carmy smile brighter as she continued getting her ready for the big party. 

“You know, I was really sad until I met your Mommy,” Carmy explained as he brought Elena to his chest. She was in her pastel tutu dress with her hair combed, “I thought she was the best thing that could ever happen to me, but then,” Carmy took a breath as he looked down at Elena. She played with the chain he’d kept tucked under his shirt. “Then, your Mommy gave me you,” he chuckled softly as he pulled the chain out from under his shirt to allow her to play with it better. “And now you’re the best thing that ever happened to me…” 

As Carmy brought Elena downstairs he paused right before the sliding glass door that led to the back yard, “I wish you’d stay little like this forever…” he smiled as he brushed her cheek with his thumb. “Happy birthday princess.”

a non-comprehensive list of my favorite brian koch cheese credit card answers

pickle wishes he never met taco

nickel needs balloon way more than he realizes

salt needs pepper way more than she realizes

if taco had the chance to do it all again differently, she would

fan's favorite game would be lego star wars

apple still has her pony from santa, which she named "dino brawler". this is presumably the toy she was holding in episode 16

knife tried harder to be good at video games than he lets on

suitcase is still a little annoyed with oj for eliminating her for no reason in episode 7

oj and bomb are on better terms now, but will never be best friends again

he sees soap and microphone having a more sibling-like relationship, since their voice actresses are sisters (judging by the 20+ private replies, someone had some opinions on this one)

mephone 3gs didn't know his crew very well. when he watched them die, he was surprised by how much he felt

pickle genuinely made taco laugh a few times during season one

evil paper liked playing checkers (this implies that this is a trait exclusive to him that paper himself does not share)

mephone x would probably use he/him pronouns, but cobs doesn't put that much thought or humanity into the mephones anymore

mephone4 wanted to impress cobs for a long time, but meeting 3gs recontextualized a lot of his negative feelings

if mephone4 wasn't hosting inanimate insanity, he would probably be a lost media archivist

taco doesn't have nearly enough hobbies. brian thinks that's part of the problem

nickel sees himself as more worthless than most would assume

mephone4 and oj's relationship is "honestly not great"

under the guise of "scheming", taco and mic would sometimes just hang out together when there wasn't anything game-related to do

trophy struggles to do push-ups

despite being an outdated medium, cobs still sends out discs with nothing but propaganda material on them

despite not sharing much screentime together, brian thinks knife and pickle are the best ii yaoi

yin-yang likes being in cars. yin will drive, and yang will pick the music

soap would play splatoon, since all of the messes are just virtual

mephone4 is iffy on physical contact due to his past experiences with cobs

salt genuinely thought her and oj were in a relationship

just like mephone4, mephone4s' favorite food is cookies

cobs doesn't see himself as evil, he's just giving the people what they want. "not what they think they want. what they ACTUALLY want."

if silver spoon and candle are occupying the same space, people will leave because they can't take seeing how silver acts when he's around her

for a long time, baseball was the only person nickel respected

if mephone5 could live an everyday life, he would be a public menace. (destroying property, going up the down escalator)

taco actually enjoys the taste of lemon

while characters like fan weren't originally written with the intent of being on the autism spectrum, he lines right up with it

on a scale of 1-10, the amount that mepad misses toilet is "off the charts"

toilet wanted to impress mephone4 like a son would want to impress a father. "the cycle repeats a bit."

lightbulb and paintbrush take turns feeding baxter, but paintbrush usually ends up doing it because lightbulb isn't particular enough about what she considers "food"

mepad's favorite colors are black and white. "very mesmerizing."

walkie talkie (and presumably other invitational characters) didn't attend the hotel oj party

knife doesn't need to work out. he's just naturally like that

when someone asked if fantube was canon, brian answered "what more do they have to do?!"

springy hasn't had their own cereal in a long time

microphone and taco have both never been closer to someone else than they were with each other

silver and candle are a bit more distant now, but they both agree it's for the best

when the eliminated contestants were still being kept in the hotel oj closet, mepad would "unfeelingly" deliver and check in on them at mephone's request

the "everything is the same but jason was a low-key horse girl AU" (bear with me here this is what i call....niche)

jason doesn't take anything for granted when he's newly minted as bruce wayne's newest ward, fresh ink on his adoption papers and no complaints towards the long hours of training that it takes to be molded into robin, boy wonder. he's granted access to everything he could ever want, everything he ever wanted to be. his biggest hurdle is the private school, with the children of the upper echelon, who cannot and do not want to relate themselves to him aside from what bruce's name gives him. the feeling's mutual; he can't relate to them any more than they can to him, and he oftentimes struggles with social situations. it's incredibly isolating at times, but he's batman's robin, so most days, it's enough.

batman and robin end up working on a case with a string of animal thefts when a murder turns up at the local stable yard not far from wayne manor. when batman is investigating, or interviewing the nightcheck crew for the yard, robin ends up having a moment with one of the horses who hangs his head over his stall door and tries to nip and nibble on robin's hair, his ear (tickles), his cape, his costume, until jason relents and gives him attention.

"sorry," one of the night checkers says, when robin barely stifles a laugh as the animal lips at his cheek, "he can be a handful."

this becomes a habit for the duration of the case -- if robin is looking for clues, or in general in the vicinity, he will seek out his nosy-ass four-legged friend with quiet eyes and a penchant for being too in his personal space.

all of this does not go unnoticed by the batman.

bruce, for what it's worth, has minor investments in the racing industry. it's a good way to get leads on bookies and crime cases, as horse racing tends to be rife with corruption and embezzling funds in gotham city -- that, and the first boy wonder saw 1979 classic The Black Stallion and briefly took an interest in horses himself when he was small enough to entertain the idea of jockeying. the wayne family had a string of polo ponies in the early 40s and 50s, and alfred grew up watching foxhunts in england. bruce is also aware how beneficial equine therapy can be, and in jason's case, how it may help him have an outlet that is not violence but is also not a thinly veiled attempt at networking through sports like tennis and lacrosse.

bruce asks one morning at the breakfast table, "would you like to learn to ride?" and at first, young jason snorts and waffles a little on his answer, because it's mostly girls at the stables, and he would encounter the same issues of upper echelon, but bruce simply says, "it could be a good skill to know," framing it in context of their other work, and it's enough for jason to be convinced that it's alright to want to be at the stables.

so he takes lessons after school, once a week first, then quickly switches to twice when he learns fast and outgrows his first lesson horse. alfred takes him -- he quickly becomes the old butler all the horses recognize with nickers when he comes down the alleyway, because he carries peppermints in his pockets, and where jason is, alfred-the-treat-bringer usually follows. bruce comes to watch here and there when he can, but he also wants it to be something jason has to himself. something jason enjoys, not because bruce asked him to do it.

jason finds that he does -- he likes riding. he likes the smell of the hay, the sound of animals chewing grain, the science of biomechanics in riding and how the horses are usually better companions than people. he starts helping out here and there at the stables where he can, and the workers grow fond of the wayne heir. he likes being there when he needs to cool down after a long day of school, he likes sneaking out to sit in the loft after a night of patrol or maybe the unsettling arguments with bruce. he sits in the stalls and he listens and even, yes, still gets harrassed by the same horse that initially introduced him to horses. it helps him regulate his emotions more when he's robin. it gives him the outlet bruce hoped it would.

moreover, he's good. he can ride out hot horses without fear, channel that abundance of energy into something productive and competitive. people start asking him to take on problem cases, or timid riders ask for tips from the fearless kid with guts and a velcro seat. the first time he ever competes, he sweeps his classes. even dick hears about it when alfred sends him a photo of young master jason, smiling and proud and holding a blue ribbon next to his infamous cheeky horse, and then another photo, when jason's face is buried in the neck of his horse, because bruce revealed that he bought it for him.

(this also leads to dick showing jason the same movie that had enamored him as a kid, and for a brief moment jason thinks of alec ramsay washed up on that island all alone, and feels in some kind of way a kindred spirit.)

even when bruce and jason begin to butt heads, and the fights increase in both frequency and tenacity, jason still finds solace in the stables. he never stops being offered horses to ride. he makes the time to compete, even when he has to get up at 6 a.m. to braid his horse's mane, but patrol ended at 4. his anger doesn't reach him in the smell of hay and sweet feed.

and then he dies.

bruce never sells the animal. can't make himself do it.

he doesn't visit -- visiting the stable aisles feels like visiting a crypt, and he can't snuff his grief long enough to reach the golden plaque that engraves JASON TODD as the owner of the horse. alfred comes by every once in a while, but not as often as he used to. the horses stop turning their heads in recognition.

when jason comes back as red hood, it takes him a long time to make himself go back to the yard. but when he does, an old friend still turns his head to him, ears pricked, eyes quiet but looking for attention all the same.

New update replaced player names in X-battles with callsigns based on the gear you're wearing.

ꞝ Ayato S.

his body (torso, shoulders & back in particular) has a lot of birthmarks and moles. whenever he gets asked about them he jokes about “y’know the legend that says all your moles are the places you got kissed in your past life? well, i was very lucky!”

has an obsession for cinema. he loves its dim ambience and eating caramel pop-corns while watching all sorts of films.

he’s a comics reader. he likes DC & marvel a lot! his favorite character is deadpool, he finds him to be hilarious.

his biggest fear are needles. he passes out at the mere thought of blood analysis.

ꞝ Kanato S.

is a toys collector. dolls, peluches, action figures, everything. he particularly loves monster high, lalaloopsy & my little pony.

likes melanie martinez a lot. his favorite album is crybaby, and his favorite song is “carousel”. he loves her creepy lyrics and tranquil bases.

he cosplays! and he’s great at it. especially dark lolita dresses, suit him amazingly.

ꞝ Reiji S.

is a fan of literature, russian one precisely. he reads around 30 books per year, and a good percentage are regarding this theme.

can speak so many languages. 7 to be exact: japanese, english, russian, korean, chinese, german, french. he’s perfectly fluent in all in of them.

he’s vegetarian & also celiac. he has to follow a strict diet with gluten-free foods since he was born, and doesn’t like meat. he loves fish though.

ꞝ Kou M.

an otaku since his early years. he grew up with sailor moon, lady oscar & other shojos that he still loves. the one he’s most attached to is kodomo no omocha.

has a septum piercing! he likes golden/rose golden jewelry and has so many pieces, since he likes to change it every 2 months. (he does favor a small golden ring, OR a classic pink balls septum)

has an addiction to strawberry flavored milk. along with vanilla pastries. and haribo gummies, too.

On This Day in Schitt's Creek: Ides of March (March 15)

2019

Dawned on Me [david/patrick, G, 1,159] by yerbamansa

Patrick learns a new song.

Happiness is hiding under a willow tree [david/patrick, G, 377] by AmyriadfthINGs

It´s a hot day and Patrick whisks David away for an afternoon by the creek.

mosaic of broken hearts [david/patrick, G, 1,062] by livelyvague

Patrick wants to get back into music and wants to sing a song that reminds him of David.

2020

[text] when you're ready [david/patrick, G, 1,323] by @olive2read

Patrick thought all he needed to prepare was a song, he wasn't ready to give a monologue ... but there was one thing he knew well enough ...

Coffee Date [david/patrick, T, 1,484]. by @eponymiad

Hey —You looked really cute today in that checkered skirt. Do you want to get coffee with me tomorrow night? Patrick *David finds a small, handwritten note in his locker. A date ensues.

Hamhock the Dog [david & stevie, G, 727] by MoreHuman

Stevie doesn’t do baby talk.

you'll be on my jockey team [david/patrick, M, 2,360] by @ships-to-sail

“I’m serious, David. You could — you could do that,” Patrick gestures at the screen, where the bass drop of Ginuwine’s “Pony” coincides with Channing Tatum grinding into some kind of power tool, sparks flying. David’s laugh behind him is loud, and bright, and Patrick’s ears turn pink. He didn’t think it’d been that funny. “Okay, maybe not with the power tools.”

2021

October 3 [david/patrick, T, 787] by @blackandwhiteandrose

Husband. It’s been a month and he still can’t get over the way his heart reacts every time he hears it or says it. Sometimes it’s a skip and sometimes it’s a race, triggered by the subtle reminder that he’s married.

A House Is Not A Home [david/patrick, E, 12,914] by @rockinhamburger

Patrick has been misplacing things lately. He’ll put something down, like his car keys or his wallet, and then find it a few minutes later in a place he was sure he hadn’t put it. At first, he assumes David’s moved them, but it also happens when David’s in another area of the house or when he’s out. A ghost story. Patrick is a skeptic, but it’s getting harder to be one.

All About that (b)Ass [david/patrick, E, 17,087] by @lisamc-21

Patrick is curious about anal stimulation, and Patrick being, well, Patrick, he decides to research and practice to determine what (if anything) he likes before getting anyone else involved. Patrick Brewer likes to be prepared before entering unknown situations. When a little oops (not an oopsie daisy) happens, David learns of Patrick's anal journey and offers to metaphorically help. And then maybe literally...

Cloudy With a Chance [david/patrick, T, 13,795] by @agoodpersonrose

“Now over to our brand new meteorologist, David Rose, with the weekly forecast. David?” OR, the Rival Weathermen AU that nobody asked for 🌦

Comfort and Satisfaction [david/patrick, E, 5,955] by @pine67

“I’m David, I’ll be your masseur for the evening. This hour is all about your comfort and satisfaction, so if at any point you feel uncomfortable for any reason please use the words pause, stop, or red. I’ll also be looking out for physical cues, if you don’t feel comfortable with the verbal ones. Raise your hand in the air in a fist like this, and I’ll stop immediately to discuss and go from there. Sounds good?”

Gabon [gen, T, 300] by Rosey_Peach

Sometimes When We Touch [david/patrick, E, 9,245] by @delilah-mcmuffin

Five times Patrick has a lot of thoughts about touching David. And one time he doesn't overthink it.

take me to the stars, just say "oh" [david/patrick, E, 5,407] by CoeurireDeux

Patrick Brewer is a stealth transgender man, and he plans to stay that way. David Rose has proven...inconvenient. But Patrick's made up his mind to tell him, because every time he looks at David, he wants to pull him into the back room. (See notes for language/dysphoria triggers)

You're my end and my beginning [david/patrick, E, 10,593] by orphan_account

A mostly canon-compliant retelling from S3E08 to the aftermath of David's Olive Branch, in an Omegaverse where Omegas are precious (because David Rose is precious, if you don't agree, fight me, I dare you).

2022

A Tiny Rose [johnny/moira, G, 1,559] by Picajc

Moira Rose finally gets to meet her son three days after his premature arrival. A quick snapshot of how that moment could have gone.6

All Things Being Equal [david/patrick, E, 30,300] by @surreal666

As first meetings went, theirs was not the smoothest. When David meets Patrick, he finds him to be rude, snarky, and completely unprofessional. But he quickly learns there is more to Patrick's story than he expected. Or - everything is the same, except Patrick is paraplegic.

Maybe We Can Make This Work [stevie/david, E, 20,050] by PositivelyBedeviledSchitthead

Stevie and David set out to find some randoms. What they find instead catches them both by surprise. They decide to try again—not as friends with benefits—but as something more.

Until You Can Love Yourself Again [david/patrick, T, 3,733] by @delilah-mcmuffin

He goes to the gym. Those words have been pinballing around David’s brain for the better part of the last few days. And nights. And sure, yes. It’s obvious that Ted does, in fact, go to the gym. Because a physique like that doesn’t just happen by accident. A significant amount of work and sweat goes into a body like that, and David just isn’t the kind of person who is ready to make that kind of commitment to anything other than the store, his beauty regimen, and Patrick. Or: Set between Housewarming and Rock On, David is feeling more than a little self conscious about his body.

2024

[podfic] Paper [david/patrick, T, podfic] by @schitthappens

The note fell over when he threw the covers off. He stood and stared down at it, hands on his hips. Without his glasses or his contacts, David had to squint to see the shape of the heart. Now it just looked like a sloppy circle. - This is year 1. Podfic of Paper by sloganeer.

[podfic] Cotton [david/patrick, G, podfic] by @b13-maybethistime

“Remember how you promised I could have the bathroom for an hour and how you would entertain yourself?” “I remember.” Patrick nodded. David turned back to the mirror and his collection of little pots of goo. “One question first: why don’t I have any clean underwear?” - This is year 2. Podfic of Cotton by sloganeer.

[podfic] Leather [david/patrick, E, podfic] by HowOldAreWe

The lights were off except for two lamps on either side of the bed, both covered in red fabric that coloured the whole room. Patrick tried to take it all in. He hadn’t looked closely the last time he had been here. He hadn’t noticed the mirrors on the ceiling. “Hold my hand, honey.” Patrick reached out, blindly, and David found him in the dim red light. He laced their fingers together, their fingers with their wedding rings, and when Patrick finally got a look at his husband, that’s when he figured out what David had planned. - This is year 3. Podfic of Leather by sloganeer.

[podfic] Fruit [david/patrick, T, podfic] by @sweatersinthesummer

Their marriage was the one part of Patrick’s life in which he was absolutely certain. Or he had been. Now his husband was sleeping at Stevie’s place and texting him to stay away from the shop. - This is year 4. Podfic of Fruit by sloganeer.

[podfic] Wood [david/patrick, M, podfic] by @n0connections

“You know what gift I’m supposed to give you for our five year anniversary?” - This is year 5. Podfic of Wood by sloganeer.

[podfic] Iron [david/patrick, T, podfic] @cottagepodfics

David poured Marcy more sangria, letting the chunks of plum and apple—from his own trees!—fall into her glass. Stevie was on her way back with more beer and ice, and Alexis promised she’d bring Charlotte after a nap, but for now, it was just David and his mother-in-law. - This is year 6. Podfic of Iron by sloganeer.

[podfic] Wool [david/patrick, M, podfic] by @petrodobreva

David’s anniversary present was hidden in Patrick’s gym bag—wrapped in gold paper, then again in plastic, just to be sure no gym bag smells could penetrate. He was pretty sure David had already found it; his husband had been staring at him with soft smiles when he thought Patrick wasn’t looking. (Patrick was always looking.) - This is year 7. Podfic of Wool by sloganeer.

[podfic] Bronze [david/patrick, G, podfic] by @sweatersinthesummer

“In conclusion,” she said, clicking over to the last slide. It was a surprisingly good Photoshop of David and Patrick’s heads on a pap pic of Harry Styles and random guy friend out in the streets of LA. “That is why you two should take off the entire month of August, enjoy LA and each other, and leave the store to me.” Patrick clapped. David grabbed his hands and stopped him. - This is year 8. Podfic of Bronze by sloganeer.

[podfic] Pottery [david/patrick, T, podfic] by @schitthappens

It was a good idea. Patrick worked Saturday mornings, then the two of them took a drive out to Elmdale to check on the second store. David alternated his mornings off with sleep and the gym, but then Alexis texted him and asked if he’d like to play parent for Charlotte’s Pottery with Parents summer camp. - This is year 9. Podfic of Pottery by sloganeer.

[podfic] China [david/patrick, G, podfic] by @n0connections

David ate a strawberry and contemplated the box. It wasn’t big enough to hold a dinner set, but perhaps a teapot. A teapot would be a better gift for Patrick, though. He still used an ugly brown betty that they brought home after Grandma Brewer’s funeral, and it just refused to break (not that David had tried). - This is year 20. Podfic of China by sloganeer.

[podfic] Pearl [david/patrick, E, podfic] by Amanita_Fierce

Patrick had a tomato soup on the stove. He stirred it gently, listening to the noon news, watching the tiny alphabet noodles peeking through red. They had fun pastas in the cupboard for the kids, but Patrick enjoyed indulging his husband, especially on days like today. - This is year 30. Podfic of Pearl by sloganeer.

[podfic] Ruby [david/patrick, T, podfic] by @hullomoon

David had only been in the hospital overnight, but today was their anniversary. It was the worst timing. It wasn’t serious, Patrick reminded himself. It was a broken leg, and they were only keeping him because he was 77. The bone had been set and braced. Rehab would be hard and long, but Patrick knew his husband. He would do whatever he needed to get back to work. - This is year 40. [podfic of Ruby]

[podfic] Gold [david/patrick, T, podfic] by @cottagepodfics

“What?!” David covered his mouth, but it was too late. Patrick, in the chair beside him, jumped and reached out to grab David’s arm. “Where’s the bear?” his husband asked. David twisted around to remove Patrick’s sunglasses and kiss his confused face. - This is year 50. This is also the last chronological story of this series. If you'd like, you can imagine David and Patrick lived forever. Or maybe they both died after a lovely session of lovemaking, physically asserting their love, and then passing silently in the night, maybe in a lovely set of silk pyjamas.

Steed Acquisition

[Image ID:

Four sequential digital paintings of Sir Gawain acquiring Gringolet the horse

The first is of Gawain, an Indian man with heterochromia in red and white checkered hose and sleeves with a green tunic and holly-embroidered hood, sat astride Gringolet, a dapple grey Highland Pony with red tack. He bears a red kite shield with a gold pentacle, a motif also seen in the tack. The text reads, in an old English font, Sir Gawain’s FAILSAFE GUIDE to acquiring a NOBLE STEED.

The second is a silhouette of an armoured man on horseback chasing down Gawain on foot against a tumultuous sky. Gawain’s arms are cartoonishly placed. The text reads: Step One: Stop Running.

The third is a red-washed scene of Gawain splitting the other knight’s helmet open with a sword, with comically exaggerated motion like an old cartoon hammer strike. The text reads: Step Two: Unspeakable Violence. The text appears spattered with blood.

The fourth is a bust of Gawain kissing Gringolet on the cheek, hand affectionately wrapped around the horse’s nose. They are surrounded by the outline of a heart and the text reads Step Three: Profit.
