insane how Red Robin is "the loner Tim Drake book" when he had friends and family just popping out of the woodwork like daisies asking him to come home and enjoy hugs like he used to 😭

#tim drake #red robin #batman #batfam #dc comics #steph cassie dick kon that whole screen of phone calls he ignored....#Tam literally RUNNING INTO THE DESERT after him because Lucius was worried #the way YJ and ALL the active Gotham heroes came out to foil Ra's' plan #M'gann randomly showing up JUST to help Tim fake his attempted assassination to Vicki Vale #the regular Dick-Tim-Damian teamups. The Tim-Steph teamups #Bruce popping in just so we could get that Bruce-Tim hug splash page #the way the book brought Lonnie back specifically to team him up with Tim #insane levels of 'COME HOME WE MISS YOU!!!' happening in that comic

what is kamala harris' plan for explaining where the FUCK he came from

#you guys i've BEEN running the simulations #i've trapped people on deserted beaches & made them hide like their life depended on it (it did)#none of those fuckers could just pop up the way my boy qimir did as soon as it was time for his Operation Hoedown Throwdown #the acolyte #oshamir #qimir

the wildly different reactions you get from the yiga outfit show how likely you're familiar with them depending on where you live in hyrule. from merchants who say 'oh, a yiga are you? well i don't discrimate, anyone is welcome to buy from me :)' to the sheikah's 'link! for a second I thought my time was up...that outfit reflects a truly dark period of sheikah history. many of us have lost our lives to them. now change before i skewer you' and then gerudo travellers are like 'we don't talk to STINKY yiga boys. go eat a banana ugly!!'

#totk #yiga clan #tears of the kingdom #loz #loz totk #yiga #totk yiga #i have so many yiga thoughts that i don't know how to get outta my brain without it coming out like a garbled mess #and the gerudo soldiers throw you in jail #which makes me question if they ever have successfully thrown one in jail before because shouldn't they know the yiga can just teleport out #to the sheikah it's a deeply personal history and ofc they know a lot about their dealings #as they've likely watched many disillusioned young men in kakariko leave to join them. where else do they get their numbers #meanwhile for the gerudo these bandits just popped up in the desert one day and started beefing for no reason #mosquitos #shoutout to the npc who says the yiga have a 'handsome mystique'. this is what i've been saying

Me: *wandering around in Faron in BotW*

Bast: *notices guy with lantern* Is that a Yiga?

Me: Well there ARE Yiga in Faron. We know this, from—

Yiga Footsoldier: *manifests in burst of ofuda, ready to shoot me* HAHAHAHAHA!

Me: HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

#kidk says stuff #yiga clan #the TIMING on that guy! well done! theatrical! perfect!!#there’s at LEAST one disguised ‘traveler’ yiga in this area. maybe two. EDIT: nah just one.#anyway I was noticing that when I was korok hunting in the desert and near the valley we had a lot show up #but when I was in tabantha doing the same not so much #now we’re in Faron and they’re popping up more again #fuels my headcanons that they’ve always been a clandestine presence in Faron. it’s where the bananas are after all!#this is what I get for rushing to see Kohga lol #breath of the wild #legend of Zelda

horrid magnificent beast the likes of which i have never seen just creached across my floor

#guys that make you jump up and scream ‘WHAT DA HELL IS EVEN THAT’#regrettably i killed it because it was huge and also i thought it was a roach at first but #looking at the remains it was definitely an arachnid. the abdomen was huge and it popped completely when i chancla’d it #all i have left for ID is the squashed cephalothorax and it’s not much to work with #i thought for a minute it was a whip scorpion but it doesn’t look like any whip scorpions i’ve seen around here #and it’s for sure not a regular scorpion #frantically googling ‘large red-brown california desert arachnid’ and variations thereof #if i can identify it i will post it for the bug mutuals

😍 The Old Codgers Greatest Hits Album (AggressiveWhenStartled, author; quietnight, narrator) - 57K series, canon-divergent stucky co-starring peter parker. Reread of this hilarious forever fave where first teenage peter is forced to deal with two body-swapped geriatric supersoldiers and then bucky is forced to deal with two teenage spidermen trying (and failing) to stealthily rescue their "dog". Great podfic by quietnight, absolute hilarity

🥰 History of American Capitalism (Zenaidamacrouras1) - 85K, shrinkyclinks college AU with superstar QB!Bucky & history nerd Steve - incredible found family dynamics, can't believe @zenaidamacrouras1 made me actually really get into an AU that involved both undergrads AND football. The nerve! The talent! (the fic is single POV but there's an amazing companion piece that's Bucky's convos with this sister that give a his POV on some of it and it's equally amazing)

💖💖 +347K of shorter fic so shout out to these I really loved 💖💖

Road to Joy (Oddree13) - Stranger Things: steddie, 25K - latest chapter in this omegaverse steddie series that I absolutely adore

Knit One, Purl Two (mollus) - MCU: stucky, 32K - reread; forever fave WS recovery fic with lots of softness in the form of: knitting, dancing, soap making and senior citizens

Red, White & Royal Goose (fairestfaerie) - RWRB: alex/henry, 7K - I just love a good Soulmate Goose of Enforcement fic

trying to figure out how to draw na'vi

#neros art tag #avatar #na'vi avatar #NAVI SMUT?? idk why im surprised but thAT WAS THE FIRST TAG THAT POPPED UP #anyways avatar's my favorite movie & it just now clicked that I Can Draw That Now #unfortunately ive never studied human anatomy in my life and now im jumping into na'vi anatomy so Its Not Gonna Look Good #1st one was no references 2nd one was with references 3rd one was after actually looking up their biology & Studying The References #also as always w me they live in the snowy deserts of the poles #its supposed to be like thick curly hair but with straight strands sorta woven into it and that makes it LOOK straight #but i dont know how to draw that without putting super meticulous detail and drawing every individual added strand so i just made it straig #i had the idea that the animals that live there have long fur to withstand the cold & they add that fur to their hair to make it thicker &#insulating as well. and also wearing the pelts to keep warm #giyuu & makomo's hair is black while sabito's is brown and he found an animal with a weird fur color so he still gets his odd hair color #honestly ive been in my own little echo chamber with kny for so long that theyre nowhere near canon anymore #one of the reasons im so reluctant to post abt any of it #but this is My House for My Enjoyment #need to burn that into my skull #kny avatar au #< another au tag #oh i forgot the hair accessories #another animal they hunt they turn its showoffy-bits into hair pins basically #hhghh *post*#fuck i forgot to tag the Them #tomioka giyuu #kny sabito #kny makomo #giyuu #sabito #makomo

something that just popped into my head; (Dottore -> Scaramouche)

what he said: "I bet if I tried hard enough, I could make another one of you!"

what he meant: "You're so special and important to me, having another you would not only be an achievement and a project well worth my time and dedication, it would also be a complete net positive. It is also not something that cannot be done unintentionally; you are too complex, too unique, to be recreated with ease or accident."

what was heard: "lol you're not special at all, you're a commodity at best, and the only way you'd have worth is if there were more of you to be used"

#chaotic rambles #chaotic queue #not important #organishin #desert doktorspiele #puppet leires #dottoscara #i think by putting the ship tag back here #it'll still be blacklisted but won't pop into the search #which im internally debating on whether or not i want it in the search #but im feeling cowardly today so--#there's Context behind this and the context is that #my ver of Dottore has been Down Bad for Scaramouche for 400 slutty slutty years #and it ain't letting up it just gets more intense as the years roll on--#where does that put the Omega segment seen in Sumeru?#i dont fully know yet 'cause not knowing Dottore's fate (if he'll die or become playable) is #legitimately messing with my ability to properly center everything #but rn to go with the fact that i write a tragic monster-type Dottore he's a bit of an outlier #to go with the comment he made about being the most selfish segment #and i think most of the other segments (in my writing specifically) would Not have gone through with #turning Scara into a deity if it meant erasing his personality #...Dottore in canon? Who knows for sure rn #It's Probably Not That Deep I'm Just Having Fun--#i think what he actually winds up being and how he winds up thinking about everything #is gonna depend heavily on what sort of ending he's given #And God I Hope He'll Be Playable #Please I Am Begging

getting Ezra twice because I wanted Desert Flannel feels like punishment for being unfaithful and using my pulls for Getian on the mushroom boy's banner at all.

#lychee txt #r1999 #sobbing screaming and throwing up over this Ezra I h8 you #“how is this a bad thing” you might say #WELL I WON THE 50/50 TWICE SO NOW I HAVE NO GUARANTEE FOR GETIAN AND I ONLY HAVE 25 PULLS 😭😭😭😭#I was hoping it would be Regulus or Voyager when the Star symbol popped up so I could have a guarantee but no-#-the gacha gods decided to slap me with luck monkey's paw style AND refuse to give me Desert Flannel #never pull on a 6-star banner hoping for the 5-star cause you'll only get the 6-star and every other 5-star #Click wasn't even a rate-up and I got him I-😔😭

hiiii i saw you posted a lot of clips of ash with Eternity Speedway and i was wondering if you could try to find more of him singing Fleetwood Mac - that clip he posted of them on his story - i love that song so much 🥹🙏🙏

I love it toooo, I was so excited they covered it! 🥰 As far as I've seen, the minute or so of clips at the beginning of the compilation I posted yesterday are the most substantial (more than a few seconds, he's mostly unobscured) footage we've gotten thus far but I've absolutely got an eye out for more! 😌🫶🏻

#it's so interesting bc whenever he does shows like this - just playing as a random group or accompanying local musicians -#I'd say majority of the footage comes from non-fans (who typically end up fans by the end of the night which is fun 🥰)#anyways my point is then a lot of the time he doesn't get tagged so it's harder to find lol #like most of what I've posted so far came from the Desert 5 location tag #and then ofc when footage does pop up it's always a gamble whether or not he's even visible 😂😭#but we've been surprisingly lucky so far!#anyways idk how much more i expect to find tbh but I'm definitely looking 🥰#I'm obsessed with this set #we need more!#ask #anon #eternity speedway
