ok see the thing. that thing about sasamiya/hirakagi. harusono knows her tropes. she's a fujoshi and a writer and she knows her way around bl/yaoi. so she takes these tropes and kicks them in the nuts for her own joy and amusement. and that's the fun of the ride
#people (modern fandom) LOOOOOVES positing sasamiya as like#The Good Pure Starter Manga For Baby Queers Who Are NOT Fujin#(which colours their perception of hirakagi but thats a whole other thing)#when it's not. it's not a starter manga.#its very much not for baby queers who think fujos are demonspawn out to destroy the respectability of Good (Cis)Gay Men#sasamiya is a comedy. a gag manga almost. where she kubrick stares at her fellow fujin thru the fourth wall#and she does it with the skill of someone who LOVES bl. who LOVES being a fujoshi. who LOVES these tropes and setups and cliches#“bad boys who aren't really bad boys” is almost a tagline to introduce sasaki#(and hirano. this isnt about him rn)#it's all very tongue in cheek and really fucking funny and that's like.#that's the fun of it. being a fujin is 80% of the FUN of reading sasaki to miyano#to elevate it to Not Like Other BL status is to do it a disservice at the most basic level#and a lot of the fandom's weirdness (/neg) stems from that. and i think i reserve the right to say it.#anywya. good talk.#ssmy

Being constantly surrounded by the presence of a loving God sounds great until you realize you never know when his freaky fuckin eyes are gonna show up to check on you.
And man. They do it a LOT.
#primus please let the mech breathe#what i want to emphasize most with this iteration of optimus is the inherent fucking terror of being made a prime#really pick at those little threads of how fucked the matrix as a concept is. same with the staple tropes of op himself#the idea in tfp that it can entirely change your personality. and that if you lose it you cannot remember your time with it#those implications send me spiraling. to what degree is optimus the same being as orion pax? do you forfeit your soul to be a demigod?#do you fucking die to become a conduit for the higher being that made you? letting it puppet your mind and body like a parasitoid?#if death in transformers is simply rejoining the allspark; if the soul is something splintered off from the whole;#and if to die as a cybertronian is for that fragment to merge with the whole once again. is a prime not fundamentally a dead mech walking?#a prime stands with one pede in the afterlife and one in the land of the living and has to keep up with both at once#constantly seeing visions from a plane his processor was never meant to comprehend with optics that were never built to see it#forced to adapt into an elevated being as much as a frame that still has silly things like wants and needs and emotions and base coding can#how does a mortal live when his body is no longer just his body; but a vessel fir something holy and a tool fashioned to heal the world?#when he can never truly be alone again and he has to simply live with the ever present knowledge that he is being watched#both by his god and by the world#how does one live knowing not even their thoughts are private? when your god may be living but man he does not get the idea of boundaries#guess it must be hard to grasp personal space and all that when youre an ocean of souls that left it behind#maccadam#transformers#wayward sparks#optimus prime#art tag#sometimes i feel kinda bad for putting this bastard through The Horrors. if ws gets made all the way he will be thrown so many bones#only sometimes tho >:3

Just came up with the most beautiful fic plot. Characters A and B like each other. Character C knows they like each other but has been sworn to secrecy on the matter by both parties. A and B will both often separately ask C to help them spend time with each other by doing things like making plans for the three of them, then cancelling at the last minute, or asking them to go run an errand for them, or conveniently sending them to the same location on the same day.
#this is adjacent to a 'mutually pining idiots' trope#sabezra#beauty and the puppet#rebelcaptain#cygnet scholar#and those are just the ones that i thought about while writing this post#i'm sure there's more#kazzy writes#kazzy saves for later#zalissa#i also thought of that as i wrote this just almost forgot to tag it#(looking specifically at zack saying 'hurry up milo! it's beginning to feel like melissa and i are on a date!' followed by milo [who knows#elevators often get stuck when he's on them] getting on an elevator. when i tell y'all this is CANON canon zalissa content)

Knight!Spider anyone?










Spider who was born within the borders of a great kingdom, to the man that sought its end, who sought to crush an empire, and nearly succeeded. Spider who was taken as a ward upon his father's death, his mother killed in one of the many great battles. the punishment for his father's sins, the consequence that should keep the boy from following in his footsteps; becoming the sworn knight and armed protector to the children of the kingdom — the Sully children.
he was raised with the intended purpose of protecting the Sully's, of being loyal till his last breath, so he could never question the opposite, never take the path his father did. the order was given out of fear and resentment, misplaced anger, and that slowly faded as the boy grew, as he took the role with ease and pleasure.
and he takes in stride.
after years of being raised next to the Sully children, with the intent on breeding good nature between the boy and them during childhood, he was honored and giddy with excitement when his seventh birthday came around, and he was made a page to some knight or another— perhaps it was Tarsem, a knight close to the royal family, the should-be heir to the throne, had his brother not died in battle. he had the loyalty and the position to keep Spider close and be a good influence —even if it meant chores and busy work.
he runs messages around the castles and mends clothes and carries meals. but he also sits close and listens to stories from his knight and feels pride when his efforts against training dummies with his wooden sword are praised. he enjoys the time he spends around the other knights, learning from them, partaking in the rough housing and the training and the stories and all the things of that nature. even his classes, as a knight must be educated.
all the years as a squire, the grueling training, the long hours, the early mornings, the scrapes and bruises, the aching muscles, the hazing of older knights and warriors. he keeps his chin high. he tends the horses (and maybe the dragons too? if we go for fantasy route) with care, polishes the armor, trains against the dummies, gets thrown around by the knights, follows their beck and call... but he always gets up. every morning. every hard fall. every tumble. every collapse of frustration and exhaustion. he gets up. he keeps his smile one his face. he loves it despite the hardships.
he earns his armor, mends his old leather gear, his golden curls in braids, carries his sword. he proves himself. he rises the ranks and above the rumors and through the fears. he proves himself to be loyal and good. he earns respect and reverence. by the time he is reaching the end of his tenure as a squire, he is beloved, or at the very least, respected, by his kingdom. not even Neytiri hold ill-will towards him.
he partakes and tourneys and hunts, through all stages of his journey to knighthood, in different capacities. sometimes he stays with his knight and helps him prepare. sometimes he is meant to watch over his siblings and keep them from too much trouble (Neytiri and Jake are desperate parents at the end of the day), and when he's old enough, he partakes in the games themselves, earning some valor in the public eye, impressing other houses and lords and ladies.
and every moment he is allowed, he spends by the Sully Children's sides. they're his siblings. he took his duty to heart before he was even knighted, when he was just a page or a squire.
he'd stand over them, higher on the hill of the creek bed, alert, hand on his dagger or short sword, depending on his age, ready to take down any foe, even if there was no threat of one.
He is even worse in crowds, or during events, kept close to the family's side, always ready. nothing can soothe him, truly, he just waits, even as his siblings rope him into fun and mischief, part of him is still waiting.
at ten or so, he has an infant, a baby girl, Tuktirey, a fragile little thing, pressed into his arms, arms strong enough to lift a sword and take a life if need be, he has to be careful she isn't hurt by his arm guards, shifting her around softly, before petting his calloused fingers, fingers trained to hold a weapon, over her soft face.
"you will be sworn to protect her, do you understand?"
and he does. he wants to. he would never need to be sworn. she's precious and perfect. even as she pulls at his golden hair and tugs at his armor. that's his baby sister. his responsibility. he'd die for her.
he trains beside his brother's. Neteyam is only a few years behind him, and being a royal, he manages to skip most of the page and squire hazing. He goes through the motions, but it's not as thorough as Spider's training was. he serves his own mother and father. and so does Lo'ak, a few years after him.
and Spider is the boy they train with. had he been a bit older, they probably would have been his pages, and because of the fact that Jake and Neytiri aren't as active as fighters anymore, he definitely takes up the slack in their mentorship (outside of his own knight and the other knights and teachers assigned to him)
he teaches them and duels with them. they spend hours in the training yard. Spider learns their habits and techniques so he can always be a step ahead of them, so if worst comes to worst, he can get between them and their would be target. so he can protect them.
they spend so many afternoons sparring, hour after hour. when they're thoroughly bruised and sore and exhausted, they'll sit in the dust of the training yard and laugh. Spider will critique his brother's, and they'll pout about it. he'll praise them too, and smile when their face's light up.
Lo'ak will ask if they'll be knights together, and he promises they will, they'll be the best knights anyone has ever seen in any kingdom. Neteyam asks him if he'll always be his King's Guard, he promises that he will, and that he'll always keep him safe.
and Kiri is the princess, as odd and quirky as she is, to Spider's knighthood. Spider watches over his little sister and her antics, watching over her in the forest when she wants to go on strolls or rides on horseback. he carries her things for her, she puts flowers in his armor, and flower crowns in his hair. he places his cloak over her when she space's out in the grass. he'd fight if someone so much as looked at her wrong.
and Spider always stands close to the King and Queen when they're holding little Tuk during events, even if their own personal guard, already knighted, stands by as well. he just wants to ensure she's safe. Neytiri and Jake struggle to not look at the small golden boy fondly when he does so. it's nearly impossible. after years of fear of whether or not the boy would be like his father, he had proved them so wrong.
he is knighted young, having more then proven himself, by sixteen, it is made official. Neytiri knights him, as she had been the one to agree to let the infant live within her walls on the condition of knighthood, so she is the one of officiate it. Spider feels no fear when the sword touches his shoulder. or crosses over his head. he just feels bliss.
his siblings, a good majority of his kingdom, his knight, other honored knights, the King and Queen and Queen Mother, even some close Lords and Ladies. they're all in attendance. they all watch him be honored with this title. given his armor. given the cloak that marks his status as a Kings Guard.
when returned enemies return to their gates, he will be his siblings shield, even if the fates demand another life...
#knight symbolism my beloved 🙏🙏🙏🙏#it really elevates Spider's character tropes and his arc#knighthood goes last just a guard#that is a divine vow. so strong it is revered. so strong even the lowliest stray can become noble.#so even if the Na'vi don't perfectly fit the fantasy kingdom setting. I'm putting them their so I can enjoy Spider as a knight#I kept this sorta basic. even if I yapped a lot. I kept it general#I'll probably post about this more and go into more side stories and stuff#I already told one bookie they have free will to write and expand on this#so as long as you credit. y'all can write what you want with this. I *need* more knight!Spider content in my life#spider socorro#miles spider socorro#spider avatar#avatar spider#james cameron's avatar#avatar the way of water#james cameron avatar#atwow#jake sully#Neytiri#Neytiri Sully#neteyam#neteyam sully#Lo'ak#lo'ak sully#kiri avatar#kiri sully#tuk#tuk tuk#tuktirey#tuktirey sully

Okay but: Modern AU for Cody x Obi-Wan, where they live in the same apartment building. Maybe they've shared a couple words before, but I wouldn't call them close.
I'm picturing Obi-Wan as a nurse, and Cody as security for somewhere, but neither job is set in stone.
Because the important bit is: they end up in the elevator at the same time. It stops between floors.
Obi-Wan- having experienced this before and frankly being too tired- sits on the floor. Where Cody- never having experienced this- doesn't freak out as such, but he doesn't feel good about this.
It's a few minutes, the little "Hey, we've phoned the fire department" light comes on, and now it's a waiting game.
Obi-Wan says, "You don't have to stand, you seem tired."
Cody eyes him suspiciously, but sits down.
They get to chatting and find that they'd been in the same brigade, but during different years, let alone all the faces one sees or doesn't while in the military.
It's a nice conversation- keep each other calm, though they weren't overly worried. Maybe nice enough conversation to go for coffee sometime?

Me when I don't like a movie: Ugh I can't stand when people say shit like "If you didn't like this movie, you just didn't get it." I understood it just fine. It was just a bad movie! People are so goddamn condescending.
Me reading bad reviews for Monkey Man (2024): None of you understood this movie at all actually
#'the story was predictable and full of cliches because they had a fight scene in an elevator' its literally an action movie bro#'the whole character arc was about spirituality and trauma which has been done before' im sorry????#you didn't get it!!!!!!!!#monkey man#monkey man 2024#im fully doing this to myself lmao no one forced me to read these#i was just curious if i would see any interesting criticisms but no. people are just upset that a movie contains tropes

(Source: Culhwch and Olwen)
Bedivere is the one character in Arthuriana that I can imagine being the stereotypical anime swordsmaster of the Round Table.
You know the one... the cliché Iaido user, who can whip out his sword, slash you a billion times and resheathe the sword in a blink of an eye. As well as being able to dash so fast, it looks like he's teleporting (although that's Galahad's thing, apparently).
Of course, Bedivere is an amputee, so he gets points for being held back and never at his full potential. This also makes him the guy who gets constantly underestimated by both his enemies and his companions.
But whenever Bedivere gets serious...
#Sir kay is the western style super-hero with his overtly magical abilities#but bedivere is the eastern style martial arts hero who takes normal skills and elevate them to superhuman extremes#sir bedivere#bedwyr bedrydant#culhwch and olwen#tropes#welsh mythology#arthuriana#arthurian legend#arthurian mythology#arthurian legends#anime iaido#my thoughts#pa gur

So I love @sea-owl Philip and Penelope friendship aus and I just thought of a very funny scene for a modern take based on something that happened to me today lol
So this is a reverse stuck in the elevator trope but with a Philip and Penelope misunderstanding
Philip is in the elevator getting ready to go pick up his kids from a playdate at Daphne's penthouse, and Penelope runs in the elevator Absolutely in a rush, because she's trying to get away from the rain outside, she happens to be wearing a wool dress that's evidently absorbed all the water of the storm because she got caught in the storm without an umbrella and is desperate to get to Daphne's and change before she catches a cold.
so she gets in the elevator with Philip and the elevator malfunctions and stops working, after a few minutes shivering in her dripping dresss Penelope let's go of her pride and asks Philip if he wouldn't happened to have a shirt lying around in his suitcase and Phillip, who knows Penelope is a friend Marina's, being the nice person he is who obviously wants to help her, seeing she's obviously so cold decides on an emergency solution.
Meaning he doesn't think it trough and takes off his jacket to offer Penelope his own oversized Polo Shirt, because the elevator is broken and who knows how long they'll be stuck there. He'd rather she be a bit dry, even if it leaves him in his undershirt, Phillip goes as far as offering Penelope his pants too, but she respectfully declines, seeing as his shirt is long enough to be used as a dress if needs to be. Penelope is so desperate to get dry she accepts his help.
Phillip turns around, closes his eyes and Penelope changes from her drenched dress into his oversized shirt. But just as Phillip is about to put on his jacket again and Penelope is trying make herself presentable: the elevator starts working again
And before our two protagonist can do much about it, the doors of the elevator open.... Right Infront a shocked Colin Bridgerton and his sister Eloise
Colin looks at Penelope Dressed in Phillip's shirt, he also looks at Phillip without his jacket, dressed only in his undershirt and his pants half undone, Penelope visibly disheveled and starts seeing red, while Eloise just stares at the half undressed Phillip. Too shocked for words, but also seriously angry
Colin is seething. Eloise starts going on a tirade
Meanwhile Penelope and Phillip are like "We swear this isn't what it looks like!"
Looking like this, nobody is going to believe they're perfect strangers to each other

An oc I've been building and working on for a hot minute now.
So far she's a few sketches and a bullet points outline but.
Her name is Helena, she's a welder/engineering assistant (which in star wars I think just makes her a mechanic?) and I've made her a fox girly. This is one of my rough drafts of their first early interactions.
Art Master list
...and yes they do get stuck in that elevator.
