you know ai is taking over our planet as we speak and we all feel this impending sense of doom?
yeah so what if i wrote an au where artificial super-intelligence goes rogue, it’s extremely devastating for our environment so there’s disease outbreaks and the world is looking scarce. remus is a lone survivor, hunting the dying animal populations in what’s left of the woods. UNTIL he stumbles upon a beautiful man with curly raven-hair that will do anything in his power to protect his little brother.
WHAT IF
#marauders au#marauder fanfic#fanfiction idea#remus lupin#he’s a badass i love him#sirius black#feeling like he’s real good with guns#but that’s pending#regulus black#black brothers#james potter#wolfstar au

I just rewatched the bit from TLJ where Ben and Rey have their first accidental Zoom call and Rey sees him and immediately starts making threats on his life and bro is just looking around like “Can you see my surroundings? I can’t see yours. Do you have a background turned on?”
I haven’t actually watched the sequels since the years they came out so. Sometimes I forget that canon Ben Solo is actually just as much of an idiot as I imagine him to be
#the last jedi#ben solo#rewatched the scene where Snoke verbally abused ben too#tlj did luke so dirty but it also did ben so GOOD#the bit where Kylo chokes Hux and goes ‘bruh I’M the supreme leader now’#UGH I love Kylo he’s a baby and a dork and also insane and dangerous#and also? not a real threat. but also he IS.#like he’s a threat not because he knows what he’s doing but because he’s UNHINGED#kylo ren#I also rewatched the scene from TROS where han speaks to ben#I expected it to hit me harder but it. really didn’t hit at all. and idk why.#I guess most of TROS feels like a game of bingo like. you can just see all the checkboxes they were trying to hit#ANYWAY list of things that are soooo ben solo:#when he did that sock slide on the floor#when he told lor san tekka ‘you’re old lmao’#when he did the Solo Shrug#when he said ‘han solo feels like the father you never had. hewouldhavedisappointedyou’#when he couldn’t kill his mom#when he commanded every gun they had to fire on that man (bruh)#when he told Snoke ‘I’ve given everything I have to you. to the dark side.’#when he immediately died after having his first kiss#(yes that was his first kiss he has no rizz the man is rizzless)#UGHHHH HE’S MY FAV AND I DON’T KNOW WHYYYY

is the doctor's ethical code is just,,,,his genre? he cant Kill someone bc thats against his genre and he undoes himself (revokes his name) if he does bc he cant kill someone in the show bc thats not the genre so if he does he breaks the show that has its name am i making sense
it doesnt necessarily matter the why or the how or the means or the ends. it doesnt matter to do other ("worse" if you like, thats subjective, but) things to people bc it's not Murder. the hard line is on Murder, thats all. you cant do Murder. youre Doctor Who. right?
and if people die not bc of you but bc you failed to stop it. well. thats like. almost murder. too close for comfort. bc if you cant save them. then, again, your name is Doctor Who. your show falls apart if you do Murder, or if you cant save them A Bit Too Much. if you for sure cant save them. you will always in the end save them, or some of them at least, bc youre Doctor Who. if you cant, amy voice: what is the point of you. and doctor who kills himself if no one's watching
#gender: not a murderer#if he feels real bad abt the murder tho. that allows it. thin ice but we can do it#i like that theory thats like. the doctor doesnt do weapons basically bc of like. epistemic hygiene?#again it doenst matter the ends or the pains. but the means do matter bc if the means are very improvised. convoluted#hard to replicate. then they wont be replicated#theyre not as infectious#inventive violence is not as infectious as shooting someone with a gun#i like that theory more tho bc thats like really interesting and deepens the doctor's morality in a watsonian way#he cant do murder bc thats the genre thats just doylism#im kinda trying to pull it in bc the character isthe show but like. it doestn quite make it#not as good as the violence hygiene

I don’t know why, but I totally believe Mav is one of those skincare people. Just look at how he takes care of his body. Anyways, he doesn’t have a multi-step process since he’s busy, but does have a couple good pricey serums. I also think as a retirement gift, Ice got him an appointment to get one of those chemical peels that takes a few weeks to recover from. Okay, that’s it.
agree to very very much disagree. maverick wears hanes t-shirts that you buy in plastic-wrapped counts of 12 for less than $20 and he wears jeans that were on buy-one-get-two-free sale at macys. Sorry. you could not Pay me to believe that man invests in skincare.
imo ice & mav are superhumanly blessed with good skin & good hair. to the extent that they use dollar store shit and are totally fine and never ever see the need for nicer shit. like a neutrogena commercial will play on the tv and they’re clueless. like “who actually needs that stuff? just wash your face once in a while, you’ll be fine” (the same advice they give to middle school/high school Bradley, who finds their advice summarily unhelpful) they have no knowledge of skincare or any of that stuff because they’ve annoyingly never needed it. they’ll put sunscreen on when they go to the beach… but, like, that’s it. they’re just dudes.
#in the same vein neither of them snore.#you’re gonna tell me ‘iceman’ would for a second let his composure down to snore? no way.#also this is one of my super unpopular opinions:#Mav is not TC. he’s not jacked All the Time.#he gets in real good shape because he needs to be to test the darkstar. other than that he’s just an above average fit 50smth y.o.#obviously like 97th percentile cause you need to be to fly fighter jets but not TC levels ALL THE TIME if u get me#i feel like all of my top gun opinions are just variations of the same theme ‘they’re just dudes. they’re just guys. like let’s be serious’#pete maverick mitchell#tom iceman kazansky#asks#skincare is Gay Shit.#if you follow my blog…my whole annoying thing is ‘i think ice and mav would be allergic to Gay Shit’#so not to shoot down ur beliefs or anything but . welcome to tumblr blog compacflt

I was wondering if there are any rare happy ritsu moments in ur zombie au since hes always miserable I think,, like is he always miserable or is he happy/not miserable and feeling kinda good sometimes?
VWHDGDGD NO YEAH OFC HE'S HAPPY SOMETIMES im just horrible and enjoy putting him through misery
ive never been able to get a genuine smile to look right on his face in my art style either i think thats part of it. as ive said his face is just built to be mildly uncomfortable and bothered and i lean into it sm it's starting to get kinda funny
but yes ritsu is happy plenty! i think, canonically, he just seems like the type of person to me that tends to turn lemonade back into lemons. he's easy to scare and his first reaction to things is often Dread and Anxiety. he dwells on the negatives a lot and seems to be a "hope for the best, expect the worst," kinda guy, but there's a section in this post abt shigeo always loving the little things in life, and ritsu steadily learns throughout the journey on how to do that and how healing it can rly be. even if he had to grow up too fast during this whole thing and learn things a kid should never have to, the journey also gave him some good insight and lessons in other places! ritsu is smart, he figures it all out
in terms of little things here n there he's the happiest lil guy on the planet when he finds one of his favorite foods—swings his legs while he sits and munches on a kitkat bar like he's got absolutely nothin in the world to worry abt. sometimes mob does smth funny that he laughs at; for the longest time i've had this silly image in my head of mob accidentally knocking down a bucket from a store shelf and it lands on his head and he just kinda stands there and makes noises.when the noises continue out of pure curiosity about the weird echoey quality it's giving them ritsu cannot help but lose it
besides tiny things tho, when tome comes around ritsu in general is a lot happier, just cuz he has somebody to talk to that will actually respond in some way. they're sorta reluctant partners in crime at first (at least on ritsu's end) but over time and over bonding they grow to rly like each other's presence. they bicker constantly but it's almost always fond eventually, and they shove each other and playfight until mob gets antsy enough to get worked up about it. rly, tome is a godsend to ritsu's mental health—after months and months of being effectively alone with his thoughts, he finally has another person to converse with. a person His Age, too!
tome is rly good at knowing when ritsu is thinkin himself into oblivion and she's Also rly good at being the most annoying girl on the planet to yank him outta that and replace any misery with Oh My God Get Off Me You Freak. she doesn't even do this on purpose at first, but over time she learns how to tell when he's thinking too hard and, ofc, she's grown attached and she cares, so she's as obnoxious as possible to lighten the mood
when they find reigen n teru, ritsu gradually gets Much happier still. now that he knows they're safe and the gang is finally back together (and now that there's an Adult present and he can relax a lil and let himself be taken care of) his stress levels r exponentially lowered. having teru back is another instant lift to his mood—im always a big fan of teru and ritsu friendship, and i think adding tome to their dynamic simply makes it more chaotic. truly a trio of the 3 most normal teenagers in existence which will surely bring nothing but good (reigen sweats offscreen)
actually this makes me feel bad for forever torturing him im gonna go draw happy zau ritsus brb ,.,.ok imback <3
#qktalks#anon#zombie au#tw guns#<- for that glock in the corner . sorry#actually it looks like he's at gunpoint in that one and just going teehee about it#he looooooves tormenting tome .and tome loves tormenting him. it's their favorite pastimes#i don't rly like the second one too much tbh the sleeves are weird but i think that's just the Nature of how poofy they can get#oh this is a great time to talk abt their dynamic. sorry.this ask isn't abt that.but now it is#so i realize that tome and ritsu ??? don't rly interact in canon at all. and neither do tome and teru . as a matter of fact#but consider. uhm.what ifthey did <3 GVYIEAV#like i said they're all So incredibly normal it'll make for a great time#^ genuinely i do think so actually. most of the time anyway#i touched on it a lil bit in recondite but i rly like the idea of mob ritsu tome and teru all being a friend group#teru would undoubtedly piss tome off sometimes she'd call him out on his bullshit#but like.in terms of the canon timeline i think post-mob teru would Totally listen to her#and take what she says abt How he is into consideration. he's trying to rebuild himself into somebody better#teru and ritsu already have a dynamic in canon but it feels pretty loose and it isn't fully explored at all#i think they work together rly well tho. there's no real evidence to the contrary iirc i think they work together in canon quite well#they think alike in terms of fighting#and in a setting like this‚ once teru is on the same page as ritsu on zombies‚ they're prolly a pretty damn good team#there's a lot of room for things to go wrong tho#if i had to sum it up rly succinctly it'd be: ritsu's motive is fear‚ tome's motive is curiosity‚ and teru's motive is power#what i mean by teru's being power is Not the pre-mob teru ''wanting'' to be powerful and unstoppable#i mean teru wants to have power over everything that is trying to hurt them#he doesn't Want to cower he wants to Fight tooth and nail#and i think ritsu's fear versus tome's curiosity and teru's drive of power conflicts a lot#ritsu is passive in the sense that he'll do anything in his power to avoid altercations with anything to order to keep mob safe#he isn't Active until something goes Wrong. and usually things go Wrong when teru and tome rush ahead#WOW sorry i went on a rant that was Completely unrelated to the fucking question. im at the 30 tag limit bye

Saw a post abt the Sonic movies that was like "plz filter negativity posts better" which is GOOD AND TRUE you should be doing that. Ok. But then they kept going to imply that the criticisms of the Sonic movies are all entirely Personal and Ignorable and not like. Usually abt the horrific copaganda, misogynistic writing, and Paramount's disgusting zionism.... Guys a lot of ppls problem w the Knuckles show wasn't JUST a bastardization of Knuckles' character or thinking Wade was annoying or whatever, but like was focused on the grotesque Zionist message from that one episode 😭😭😭 you can enjoy something and still recognize that it has intrinsic and huge glaring flaws and talk abt them. I think actually you Should be speaking up abt the misogyny, zionism and propaganda the SCU supports and discusses, ESPECIALLY if you like the movies! Its important to be able to recognize these things in media and admit that even media you personally enjoy can be deeply problematic, instead of hiding it away and pretending those HUGE FLAWS aren't issues actually....
#scu neg#sonic movie negative#do you guys even have a specific single tag? genuine question#scu negative#like bro you just had to say 'plz tag negativity posts better :(' you didnt have to go on a tangent abt how sonic wachowski is a perfect#little angel ...#and writing off criticism abt the movie as 'personal issues' is also just. Mean. undermining ppls genuine investment in the characters#shadow means a lot to me. his storyline js extremely powerful. ofc im disappointed they fucked it up. thats personal but it has real world#consequence. taking a character whos entire plotline is driven by an anti-militant message and who is a genuine and powerful representative#of PTSD in media and making him. Whatever He Is Now is Bad Actually. even if you think thats just a personal take it still has Real Effects#and i dont expect the scu to be a masterpiece of art. i take sonic seriously but i understand that im maybe an Exception and also that#perceptions of characters change between literally Everyone. but i think its still fine to say that i dont trust the writers to tell the#story they want to tell. they very clearly Dont understand what made adventure-era sonic so powerful in the first place and thats a valid#take even if it is 'just a personal opinion'#ok sorry for getting heated. as a board-certified PTSD haver shadow the hedgehog is important to me its like i imprinted on him as a child#like. i dont think its a stretch to assume that theyre probably going to make shadow Dull and Lame compared to his old storylines. gerald i#already so fucked up that i honestly have lost all hope this movie will have good writing. and i can Expect good writing becuz this project#is from a huge corporation that can Afford good talent and Chose to do their movies this way instead#and they were like 'you guys cant b mad that the character you like didnt show up!' when the criticism for THAT is that the scu is doing#EVERYTHING in its power to AVOID adding new and substantial female roles to the cast. rouge not being there is a larger issue besides just#Missing Her. we have 3 reoccurring women/girl characters. out of a cast of roughly 13 main characters. cant you see how disgusting that is.#i think its 13 anyway hang on. im counting wade tom sonic tails knuckles shadow eggman gerald those two gun guys. yeah#'but theyre adding another woman character!' yeah.... and shes another military official..... when we coulda had Rouge the Bat???#thats not the win you think it is.........#ig theres sonics owl mom too genuinely forgot abt her tbh#she exists only to b a mom and die tho so she isnt rlly That Great as a woman character either#and maddie exists only to b Sonics Mom and rachel only exists to be the Funny Aunt and jojo only exists to be The Girl Cousin so......#SORRY ESSAY SORRY i feel very passionately abt sonic!!!! especially in this case!!!!!!!#ok well ig maria is there too but shes also just. Uhm. Ok. Look. i love maria robotnik. but she is a Plot Device not a character. sorry#wades family dont count either becuz. well. they suck NO NO NO JUST KIDDING

I'm enjoying btas so much bc the villains usually only have 2-3 henchmen employed- and that's enough. Bc no matter how talented or skilled Batman is, a huge guy coming at you with a weapon is always gonna be dangerous. Batman is a human which means he can lose.
#my dc posting#batman#btas#batman the animated series#sorry for doing nothing but singing this show's praises all night long. it's just so perfect#the movement the plot the fights it actually makes me feel impressed by what batman does#cus if u establish that he can just no-prob solo 10 dudes im not gonna be like Wow! when he wins a fight#but if u allow him to lose and get trapped and gassed and captured and injured even when it's ''only'' a couple thugs#he feels actually real and human and so when he wins i actually cheer for him!!#like idk when you tell me batman's a non-powered superhero and then show him doing superhuman feats i don't go ''wow such an impressive hum#n!'' i go ''okay sure''#jjust. wuaghj. this show so good#it doesnt matter how fucking skilled or experienced you are! a person aiming a gun at you will ALWAYS be dangerous and potentially lethal!!

I think one of my least favorite takes on Optimus annexing Earth is the surprisingly common opinion "he should've just left Earth alone and minded his own business because they didn't ask for help," not because it doesn't have truth in it but because it's a massive oversimplification of the whole situation and seems to pretend that Optimus annexing Earth was just completely stupid and had no reasoning whatsoever.
Like, it just bothers me when people talk about it as if Optimus leaving Earth alone would've been the not-bad-guy thing to do despite the fact that the Decepticons were literally about to try colonizing Earth again under the command of a guy who was literally from the Golden Age generation that made colonizing and genociding organics popular, Galvatron. I mean Galvatron was literally there saying "so when are we going to kill these fleshlings" and even being a Functionist asshole to Soundwave's cassettes. The last time the Decepticons invaded Earth in All Hail Megatron they killed literally a billion human beings. Are there seriously people in this fandom that are out there believing with their whole ass that "Optimus should've just ignored the openly genocidal Decepticons returning to a place they had already tried to colonize just a few years ago because it's none of his business and the humans can handle themselves" like what.
#squiggposting#and this isn't even getting into the fact that like there was that one titan buried under earth's surface#or the enigma of combination being there#are we not going to talk about how bad of an idea it is for cybertronian technology to just be left in the hands of other civilizations#with no supervision or input from cybertron whatsoever#there was an entire fucking tyrest accord made specifically to ban cybertronians from sharing their tech with other races#which megatron broke btw when he spread mind controlling guns across earth specifically to cause chaos#like i'm not saying that the sentiment of 'they didn't ask for help to be forced upon them' isn't valid#but i feel like saying 'lol optimus should've just not gotten involved' is incredibly naive at best and stupid at worst#ppl will be like 'noooo idw op is evil because he annexed earth he's not a real OP he's shittily written'#bro optimus was following one of his most core personality traits which is trying to protect innocent lives#from the imperialistic factions of his own species. the fuck do you people mean that idw op sucks#is it bc one of his positive character traits was turned into a double edged sword that also makes him flawed and make mistakes#and you just wanted OP to be your unproblematic g1 daddy who never does anything wrong?#i need to do a reread of barber's side of phase 2 to cement my opinion and remember the exact sequence of events#but mfs act as if optimus doing that had no reasons behind it whatsoever and as if he had any good choices in that scenario#(then there is the sub faction of idw op haters who kiss idw megs' ass simultaneously but that's a rant for another day lol)#mostly what gets me isn't the fact that people don't like optimus' decision#but the fact that so many ppl completely disregard and refuse to consider the context around that decision#and they just go 'oh he just sucks' as if that's the end of the story lol

i like the parallel of tinn and sound being two kids prone to perfectionism who just need and want to be shown love and kindness
#i'm simplifying a bit but yeah. the end of ep4 got to me#and it's like. sound is a different character than in the concept trailer and i am here for it#my school president#he was originally very charismatic and kind of an empty romantic rival ykwim?#but the sound we get here has kind of an abrasive personality#concept sound introduced himself to gun by hitting on him. this sound makes him quit the band. i love it!! he feels much more real to me#he kind of still has that persona but it's actually just how he pleases his audience! like. he must have a history of keeping people at#--arm's lenght and i am so excited to see what's next for him now that this band of goofballs adopts him#they are such good kids your honor#and also the way last ep ended i honestly wouldn't blame him if he fell for gun a bit (which leads back to my original point)#but i've seen some different theories and i am raising you: what it both?#what if sound develops this deep admiration for gun mixed with a growing crush on him that he eventually realizes will remain unrequited#and when he has to stop looking up at that pedestal he put gun on he will finally see the person who's been standing right there next tohim#that's the shit right there someone write this

The way susanna is so horrifically (racistly) abused and neglected by the narrative and by king himself… and yet she’s the only one who gets a happy ending…. Its so lame and too little too late and yet…. I crey every time
#i had to go to the bathroom at work to cry when i got to that part of the audiobook. she deserves it#i PRAY the series treats her better. the way king never seems to consider that she might actually care about civil rights movement despite#being apparently a noted figure. like how we never observe her caring about or missing ANYONE from her life in america… in contrast w eddie#and jake. you have to do a lot of work in your imagination to bring susanna to life. for instance i think a lot about the emotional#exhaustion and burnout she must have experienced as a disabled black woman in the 60s. working and protesting and getting arrested and still#not feeling safe and accepted in most places. like i imagine her time in midworld is sort of a vacation for her even though her life is much#more in danger than it ever was. bc she is with her ka-tet and they instantly love and accept her and never resent her mobility issues or#make an issue of her race or gender AND she finds out she’s extremely good at guns and violence and she has REAL POWER#anyways you have to be kinda delusional and like download a lot of mental mods to make the dark tower series really good#mental gymnastics. backflip over a lot of the detta stuff.#stevie k LOVES having smart black characters talk in like… fake slave patois he does it in mr mercedes too. he sucks#but the version of susanna who lives in my heart rules. and eddie dean is a he/him lesbian

Did your Ice and Mav like *genuinely* not care whether the other was flirting-with/sleeping-with other people on the side, during their golden-period in the nineties, when they were both working at Miramar: living in the same house, sharing their lives, raising their kid? ‘Cause Ice explicitly states that ‘he only wants it when the opportunity presents itself, but every other time he couldn’t care less: Mav could be fucking the little green men on Mars’, and Mav is all but catapulting Ice into the direction of any woman he thinks Ice might like, just hoping Ice sticks the landing. On the face of it, both of them seem to be operating under the implicit assumption that their life together is temporary, right up-til and even beyond Ice’s promotion to RADM, and his departure. But then, after Carole’s death, when their relationship has crumbled ‘round their ears, Ice does seem to be bothered by Mav’s in-your-face flirting with the waiter, and the radar-techs, and the WSOs, and the anonymous-individual he brought back home that one time, and Ice even thinks to himself, that it doesn’t matter whether that person’s a woman/a man, ‘cause I guess: either way, it doesn’t change the fact that Mav’s with someone who isn’t *him*. So, what I really wanted to know is: was Ice sub-consciously fooling himself, when he thought that he’d be *totally* okay with Mav finding someone else to be with—a woman/another man—or would he really have given Mav his blessings to move-on with someone else, made it easy for him, and quietly walked out of his life?
ice would’ve been fine if mav found someone else. like, good for mav. Ice HIMSELF would not have been fine. single for the rest of his life. he was too late to take the shot in settling down & getting married to a woman. Now, how do you explain to a serious womanly wife candidate the 10-year gap (during which you were fucking/falling in love with another man) between your last serious relationship & this one? And how do you explain the off-the-charts levels of fucked-up you are from this hidden decade-long sexual/romantic relationship that you literally can’t talk about without scaring off any potential date/fucking your career? this is a little cliche but mav has truly ruined ice for anyone else. not because he loves mav so much but because they are both sooooo fucked up, and for the exact same reasons and the exact same secrets, that theyre literally the only people on Earth who understand each other.
no neither of them care about the cheating/“open relationship,” because 1. Ice wishes it wasn’t happening/feels like he’s wasting mav’s time 2. Mav is down for anything (definitely suggested threesomes on multiple occasions) 3. they both KNOW 100% that they’re both so fucked up that at the end of the day, for better or worse, they’re coming back to each other. (the reason ice was such a mess during their breakup was because it was not eminently obvious they would come back to each other. and then where would he go?) And they’re completely exclusive post-getting-back-together (too old to have that much casual sex, and also finally figured out that they super-unfortunately only want each other) so whatever. also, i think in the 90s, mavs “let’s get ice a girlfriend” campaign was kind of like a tongue-in-cheek way for him to rib ice— “we still have to keep up appearances, but you KNOW you wanna fuck me more than any of the girls here. You KNOW it’s me you’re really going to be fucking tonight.”
#and he’s soooo right <3#again#my story isn’t super happy#they are in love but. it’s mostly they’re just fucked up.#yes they’re in love but. they literally do not have any other choice but to be fucked up together#so might as well make it work :)#answering this winedrunk so like#i love these asks anon#feel like i recognize ur writing style#this is good feedback writing wise though because i kind of wanted this to be in the story itself#idk. Don’t listen to me. like none of this is wwgattai canon or real canon#this is just me the dumb fanfic author deep into my own interpretation of top gun (1986)#like it’s not that serious 😭😭😭 this is fun for me but i promise this isn’t like my set interpretation of tg like im just making shit up#pete maverick mitchell#tom iceman kazansky#top gun#top gun maverick#icemav#asks#just uhhh mixing my $6 Pinot grigio with my in n out sprite & answering icemav asks#back in Southern California <3 driving on the 405 just like Tom iceman Kazansky

it's probably such a good thing I didn't grow up in America because anytime I went to someone's house and they had a bb gun, I'd just be obsessed with it and trying to be subtle about how interested I was in using it and also wanting to know what it would be like to shoot someone with it 😍
#so you know..... I guess it's a good thing a real gun has never been in the same room as me ever#though I still wonder how much damage a bb gun would do if I shot someone with it#why did all these random weird kids always have the best toys#why didn't I get a bb gun 👿#..... though I think given that my parents legit thought I might try to kill them#that might just be the reason#anyways I remember hanging out with this kid once#and he was just.. shooting slugs with his bb gun#and idk why but the memory just feels so strange and liminal ig#just the white bubble of liquid that would come out of the slug where it was shot#and the burning desire to try doing it myself#... the point here is. someone should give me a real gun >:))))#r.r#though this might be a side ramble but I really look down on school shooters for using guns#if that uh... makes sense?#like they're kind of pathetic for using a gun#like no effort. wheeee pew pew easy kills look at me I play FPS games i'm so cool 😍#try harder bro#a gun just seems like the most boring way to commit murder#get personal. get intimate. get blood on your hands and struggle with your victim#not just Pew You're Dead Now lolz
