#good things are happening to me and I am ruining them by accident and also on purpose and I need that behavior to STOP RIGHT NOW

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah]

Oh god motherfucker PLEASE get it together your life is going so well right now please don’t ruin it

[xoxochb]

heyyy i love ur writing SO much and i had this idea last night... could you write something about percy teaching aphrodite!reader how to kiss with tongue 😵‍💫

holy shit anon

cw: heavyyy ass make out, reader n percy aren’t in an established relationship

——— ౨ৎ ⊹ ࣪ ˖

“well, the first thing you should do is relax and close your eyes.”

you frown. “what if I can’t relax?“

“the person you’re kissing should be someone you’re completely ready to do this with, you should be relaxed around them.”

“okay…” you sigh, looking up to the cabin ten ceiling, adorned with pretty twinkling lights thanks to your siblings. you fix your head back down to look at percy. “well what’s next?”

“the second step is to tilt your head, you don’t want to clash noses. and start off slow, get used to the feeling, then once you get more comfy with it you can introduce more tongue. and don’t forget to breathe through your nose, that’s important.”

“what happens if I breathe through my mouth by accident?”

“It’s fine… but you’ll run out of breath quicker. you’ll just have to break the kiss to regain it and it kinda ruins the moment.”

“oh.”

“do you want- uhm… well, only if you want, but uh- I could… demonstrate if you’d like?”

your eyes widen slightly. “you want to… kiss me?”

“yeah, but only if you want me to!” percy blushes feverishly.

“I- sure. that would be nice…” you’re swift to avoid any eye contact. for one, you’ve had a crush on the son of poseidon for as long as you’ve known, and for two, what if you messed things up? would he hate you? would he think you’re an idiot? would he never talk to you again? would he never be friends with you again? what if—

“c’mere.” percy ushers you to sit closer to him. you move yourself so both of your criss-crossed knees touch, practically overlapping each other. “are you sure about this?”

no. but also yes. but also no. “yes, I am.”

he takes in a deep breath, before slowly leaning and and gently placing his lips over yours. he places a steady hand on your jaw to keep you in place as the kiss starts off. he begins at a soft pace, lightly advancing his tongue as he newly explores your mouth. you mirror his motions, your tongues swirling together as one— you’re sure by now you’re getting the hang of it (and you did have a good teacher, at that).

the rooms aura is filled to the brim with the utter sound of progressively growing passionate kisses, over time becoming more intense than the moment before. fully immersed, percy’s hand travels to the back of your head, tangling his fingers in your hair as he pulls you closer. you can hear the sounds of only mingling breathes and wet lips intertwined urgently.

his grip on your hair tightens for a moment, eliciting the quietest of moans from you before you feel as is fingers trail down your body, gripping your hips and pulling you atop him. you take this chance to tangle your hands in his hair this time, twirling your fingers around the silky raven strands as you try to eliminate as much space as possible.

“you’re incredible,” he whispers between kisses, his tongues then becoming more insistent, pushing deeper into your mouth (how you haven’t gagged by now is beyond your capacity of understanding). he lowers himself on his back, allowing you to straddle him— enjoy a more comfortable position as your ‘teaching session’ grows more intimate.

you’re pretty sure you’ll ace the test.

Plz, plz miss/mr/mx spare a bit of sano lore & art for the poor plz 🙏 😢 (only if you would like to ^^ also I LOVE ur art/lore/ stuff of the character♡)

I am so terribly for putting this question off for months. It's a long answer and it's kinda hard to do it in one sitting thanks to class. Please know I see all the anons in my inbox and I will get to your asks eventually <3 I'm also trying to make content outside of just my asks so please be patient (also you can just call refer to me with "Miss" dearie <3)

Sano Lore

Let me make this abundantly clear, I do NOT like how EP wrote Sano and Akira. That is the sole reason I rewrote a lot of his characters and redesigned them. Don't take it was me "fixing" his characters, more so just my take on the characters.

Anyways, a lot of this is based of the dark circus AU Gatobob did awhile back. The idea kinda started off as one of those far fetched things that I thought would never work, but after some writing it kinda just started to make a ton of sense. Needless to say, Sano and Akira grew up in a small travelling circus! Their mother was on of those "freak" attractions who ended up having a little rendezvous with their dad (who was human). After the two were born, her lover helped her escape (she really didn't want to be a mom, she probably has some regrets about ditching her kids but in her defense she was young and wanted to be free).

The two had a twin mirror act, mostly consisting of some small acrobatics (cartwheels, roundoffs, shit where you can't really break your neck like the trapeze performers), magic, knife throwing, and some contortionism. Lots of people went to see their constant in sync motion. It was kinda hard to always be in sync when Sano and Akira had clashing personalities that made cooperation a bit difficult.

One night, Akira has a rather haunting nightmare of Sano that keeps him up for a couple days (rocket to insanity reference lmao). I actually imagine Rire is in this dream and knowing Rire, it's all the reason the dream keeps him up. Why is Rire in this dream you ask? I imagine Rire sees potential in the twins (what king doesn't love a good jester?), afterall they are naga, not snake beastkin meaning they can weild magic. Eventually a knife throwing act rolls around and Akira is finding it difficult to focus on where he's aiming. Sano is spinning around and around on a wheel and Akira throws, only to aim straight for Sano's eye.

The accident, to no one's surprise, leaves Sano out of commission. His perception for his stunts thrown off now that one of his eyes is covered, and frankly it's a bit dangerous since he ends up running into things and people when doing tumbling (cheer lingo for cartwheels n shit if you didnt know). Not to mention the eyepatch ruins the mirror act. Instead of having him act, the ringmaster has Sano do some other small jobs, which is devastating to Sano since it means a significant cut to his paycheck. In turn preventing Sano from ever leaving the circus.

Sano blames a lot of what is an accident on Akira, thinking that Akira has some form of jealously against him for being the favored twin (it's no surprise Sano is the favorite). And while Akira may have SOME jealous towards his brother, he didn't mean for the incident to happen. Akira, with his naturally increased strength from being a naga, does a strong man act. He's still a bit twiggy, but he works out a bit to build muscle and strength for his act (his favorite part of the job is flirting with girls by bending horeshoes into a heart).

Sano can't go to a doctor (lack of proper health insurance, the circus has to keep travelling for business, and also because ya know fear of being outed as not human), and it's not like he needs one anyways since his eyes has managed to heal. Naga abilities n shit. Problem is, he can't see. So Sano starts getting really invested in medicine and some of the magic stuff his mom left behind. TLDR; Doesn't show up to work, captures some rando to use, harvests their eye, and performs surgery on himself. He's still a bit blind since its not his eye, but he can definitely see better. Akira finds the body and Sano manipulates him into helping him get rid of it. Akira complies since he doesn't wanna lose Sano.

Eventually, Sano devises the idea to run away from the circus. Akira doesn't want to since he's enjoying himself. People love him! But that quickly changes when he sees Sano gone from his bed. Akira naturally packs a bag and starts looking for him. Now they're on the run together. They're two broke teenagers with no education or any form of identification. And I haven't fully thought out this part yet, but Cain eventually finds these two broke teens and adopts them. Like a said before, second chance at father hood. Heres something im not so sure on yet. Either, Rire convinces Sano to become partners with him in the exchange for more training in magic, or because of Cain's involvement it's a constant fight to keep his adoptive sons safe from Rire's influence.

The rest just kinda plays out. They get their GED's with the help of their angel dad and go to college n shit. I tried keeping this as consistent as possible so let me know if you have any problems. Some of it might change later but I'll probably let you know if it does. There's probably some bits I forgot to include so ask me if you anymore questions!!!

If not too much to ask how did Leshy and Annamer become a couple in ur AU? Am curious how they ended up having a kid that uncle Lamb baby sits ouo (love your art and AU btw ❤️)

I wanna just. Scribble out an answer to this today cuz it's been sitting in my box here for a couple of weeks now and I wanted to do some sketches to go with it but I haven't had the time and I don't think I will for a while so I'm just gonna write out my answer to it here:

Starting from like, the earliest relevant context, Annamer is from Darkwood, and grew up in a village that kind of sort of worshipped Leshy. Like they weren't technically part of his cult but they were also technically worshippers so the crusaders from the Old Faith basically left them alone. Anyways. Annamer was found in the ruins of his village after having basically burned the whole thing to the ground (it was an accident, and they ran away when it happened and returned days later. They still feel quite guilty about the whole thing, especially given that anyone who survived was taken directly to Leshy's cult as a recruit and / or sacrificed) and Lambert took him in. It took months for Annamer to like, come to terms with everything, but when they eventually did, Lambert placed them working in the farms, since he had a lot of experience gardening. Then, a few months after that, Annamer had basically ascended Lambert's ranks and become one of their Disciples, and this is when Leshy joined the cult.

When Leshy joined, he (like all the other Bishops, honestly, maaaaaaybe save for Shamura) spent a good several days just. In his shelter. Avoiding everyone and everything. Having difficulty adjusting. And Lambert had intended to take it upon themself to help him adjust, as they had done with Narinder, but... at this point, they were having a hard time not resenting the Bishops and they couldn't face Leshy for fear that they would take out their frustrations on him, so Annamer volunteered to be the one to help Leshy get adjusted.

It took a while for Leshy and Annamer to actually get accustomed to each other, but they were friends within a few months and then became romantically involved after about five or so years. In my mind, Leshy caught feelings first, which he was kind of confused about cuz he is very grey aroace in my mind and hasn't had a legitimate crush in a very long time, but Annamer is very demi aroace to me so they needed a good few years and a very solid relationship established before they ever fell for Leshy. It worked out that they both took a hot minute to realize they had feeling for each other. But nevertheless, they eventually got together and then got married after a good couple of years of like, dating / courting.

As for their kid, her name is Jular, I do have a design for her... somewhere... so I'll post it later if I remember to... but basically she was kind of. An accident. Leshy and Annamer were never intentionally trying for kids, they both give me very like, semi-irresponsible, just-here-for-a-good-time energy, so I do think Jular was not intentional. But she was a pleasant surprise, they're very glad they had her and they both got really excited about being parents once they figured out that it was gonna happen. That said, Leshy and Annamer both have day jobs, so they do, at times, have to leave her in the care of either the cultists who work as teachers / caretakers, or the care of one of their family members (so, Lambert or one of the other Bishops, or potentially also Webber once he's old enough or Aym and Baal if they're around). But they do also spend as much time with her as they can, I think they come to really enjoy the little family that they have.

I do have... theoretically, more thoughts on this subject, and I actually have thought about making some Leshycat specific comics, but idk when I'm gonna have the time (or, admittedly, commitment) to really sit down and realize my ideas, so... I hope these several paragraphs suffice as an answer. I continue to have the internal back-and-forth with myself of oh, I wanna like, make more AU stuff, or even just talk more about my thoughts on it, cuz I have way more thoughts about this AU than what I post, but... like... also... I haven't actually done that. But that's a tangent for another time.

Anyways- I'm glad you like my AU! It makes me happy that this silly AU and the comics I've made about it are things that other people... actually like. I really have been making this AU... entirely for myself, which I think is part of why I've been approaching it so non-committal-y, but it truly makes me happy that other people like it. So thank you :D

Decisions 2

Summary: Magneto is called away from Utopia to help care for an injured Rogue. Set just after the Schism, when Mags is still in Utopia, and Rogue is with Wolverine at the Jean Grey School for Gifted Youngsters back in Westchester County, NY. 

Pairing: Rogue/Magneto

Warnings: Trigger Warning: I am ruining the plot for my own story here by choice. There is a discussion of and partial scene of a character having a miscarriage. Because this can be a very sensitive topic and triggering for some, please proceed with caution. I did not go with anything graphic, but to each their own on what they can and cannot handle. You have been warned. 

Author’s Notes: This is part two of my Decisions fic. Looks like this might be turning into a series. I am not sure when parts will be added. The title will most likely be changing, and a series title created. Not sure yet. Plans are still planning. Keep an eye on my Tumblr to see updates!

*****

It had been roughly a week since Rogue's stay in the Infirmary, and just about as long since Magneto glued himself to her. Gambit had tried to see her before now, to apologize for his part in her injuries during the battle with the renegade mutant. He just didn't want to do it with her constant shadow. 

“You're being a big baby, Gambit,” Frenzy called him out. They were sitting outside, on a picnic table, enjoying the sun.

“It musta been tèrib if'n he come all de way from Utopia. I don’ wan none o'dat wit him,” Gambit didn't really have a problem with Magneto. Normally. But the way he was barely leaving Rogue's side told Remy that something serious happened and he didn't want to tread where he wouldn't be welcomed. 

“Idiot, it was an accident. Magneto told me he sees it that way. He knows you'd never do anything to intentionally hurt her,” Frenzy rolled her eyes at the Cajun. 

“Don' you have class?” He glared.

“Nope. I have a free period, so I can sit here and tell you what a fucking idiot you're being.” Frenzy was enjoying getting a rise out of the Cajun. 

“I just wan’ ta talk ta her alone.”

“Admit it! You're afraid of Big Daddy Magneto!” Frenzy laughed.

Gambit shook his head in disgust. “Remy not afraid o’ him. I jus’...” 

“Uh uh, LeBeau! You're not getting out of this one.” Frenzy held her hand up to quiet Gambit's protests. “You're afraid of what the old man is gonna say or do to you, even though I can tell you without a doubt, he holds nothing against you.” 

“Den why he here? Any time she get hurt, he let her deal wit it on her own.” It was something Gambit didn't like about their relationship. In his mind, Rogue needed someone there for her all the time. But it rose warning bells in him that something else may have happened to Rogue that caused Magneto to show up.

Frenzy sighed, “That's for him to know and us to find out.”

Gambit's eyebrow shot up at that. Turning to look at her, “He not tell you?”

Cargill cracked her knuckles, “Nope. Whatever happened, I'll tell you, has him upset. Not at you, and not at her. Just in general. I've never seen him like this. Even with Wanda.” 

At the mention of the Scarlet Witch, Gambit shudders. Being reminded of M Day and the catastrophic times that followed… it was not a time he wanted to remember too well. “Whatever it is, he barely lef’ her side. He also got Wolverine on a short leash…”

“Pryde's lovin’ it. He upgraded the security system within his first two days here. Currently, he's finding some basic education teachers for the school. He was furious when he saw the curriculum,” Frenzy laughed, again. 

“Logan jus gonna let him take over?” Not that what Magneto was doing was bad, but this was Logan and Kitty's school. 

“Pryde is ok with it. It's benefiting the students. And gonna help make us accredited or some shit. So we'll be official and the kids can get actual diplomas and go on after that. She says it'll bring more students in. More paying students.” She had to admit, that did sound great for the kids. Teaching them mutant things was good, but they also needed the basics of the world. Leave it to Erik to think of things like that. 

“If it helps the youngsters,” Gambit shrugged.

*******

Rogue lay in bed in her room. Magnus was in the shower, not aware that she was awake. Her head was still bandaged, the wound healing nicely. Wolverine actually offered her his powers. She declined, much to his surprise. She told him she had her reasons, and Magnus backed her up. Wolverine backed off and said the offer was still on the table. 

As she lay there in the bed, Rogue rested a hand on her lower abdomen. Part of the reason she didn't want to use Logan's powers was because she wasn't ready to let go yet. Magnus had guessed that was her reason. He supported her, telling her that unless her life was in danger, whatever she decided was fine by him. Rogue, honestly, hadn't ever felt more loved than she did in this last week. He doted, and made sure her needs were met, and even some of her wants. She wished she were in better shape to return the favor because she knew he was mourning just as much as she was. The pregnancy was unexpected and unknown, but once they'd had the opportunity to discuss things, they discovered it had been very much wanted by them both. 

Rogue had a complicated relationship with kids. She loved them dearly, but never really thought of herself as a mother type. Not to bring them into the world. It was something that scared her when she was with Remy. They'd had a scare once. He'd gotten so excited and wanted to start picking names immediately, not even considering her feelings. They'd gotten into a huge fight and Rogue came close to leaving him then. He finally apologized, but she still wasn't settled. 

Magnus on the other hand, during this whole ordeal, let her take the lead. Made sure what she wanted was done. That she was comfortable. When she was in pain, he and Rachel ganged up on Beast saying he was using antiquated books and information. Beast finally gave in, admitting that yes, not much study had been done on the female body at all, and he would follow the lead of his patient, but would also take care not to overdose her. That satisfied everyone. She hadn’t cramped in days, and Beast performed an exam to make sure everything was gone, and it was. She and Magnus clung to each other and cried for hours after that.

That was when they talked about deciding the baby had been wanted. They still haven't talked about any kids in the future. But Rogue could see herself having kids with Magnus. Unlike Remy, Magnus listened and paid attention. He even had when they first got together and birth control came up. They had an actual discussion, instead of him saying it was going to be his way or the highway. She guessed with his age and having been married and in other long-term relationships before, Magnus had picked up on listening to his partner. 

Cradling her lower abdomen, Rogue thought about what if the baby had stayed. Would Magnus be by her side? Would he be helping her? Be there for her. What would it be like to be pregnant and know it? Beast determined she had been about 12 weeks along. That was their last night in Utopia when he told her he wasn't afraid of a little distance. Sure, they'd had quick visits in between here and there, but both had been busy. And she'd been so stressed. When would she have noticed? While she was giving birth?! 

Then her thoughts trailed over to holding the baby. A little girl, maybe? The same beautiful blue eyes as her father. Maybe her hair, just minus the white streak. She would have been the most precious and loved baby ever. Joining her sisters and brother. But now… the tears flowed freely, again.

Magneto exited the bathroom, fully dressed, minus his shoes. He was going to meet Kitty in an hour to go over the applications for the new faculty. He noticed Rogue was lying on her side, cradling her stomach. She looked beautiful like that. Then he noticed the sob she just heaved. Padding quickly over to the bed, climbing in behind her, gathering her up in his arms, he held her while she cried. 

“It's muh fault she's not here!” She cried.

“Shshsh, no, no, no. We talked about this, my love. You are not at fault. You didn't know,” kissing her head, it alarmed him that she had gendered the baby. That wasn't anything they'd discussed. 

“It is! She's gone and it's all my fault!” She clung to her lover. He was her source of comfort and solace. When the world dropped out from under her last week, he had been there, and he was still there. Holding her, while she came to terms with this loss. 

Kissing her temple, Magneto takes a breath, “Liebchen, just breathe for me. Please.”

They lay there, holding each other, crying, letting out their emotions. 

******

“I apologize for my tardiness,” Magneto sat across from Headmistress Pryde in her office. 

“Erik, it's all right. You and Rogue are going through a difficult time right now. Rachel informed me that you both were resting, and we put two and two together. We don’t even need to do this right now.” She gave him a sympathetic smile. When they’d told her about the miscarriage, she told Rogue to take as much time as she needed. Next thing she knew, Erik was handing her the schematics and passcodes for the updated security system, and he was making suggestions on improvements for the school. He'd also asked her if it would be ok, that if Rogue decided to stay, that he could stay on as a physics teacher. It surprised her, to say the least. 

“Rogue needs proper rest without me fretting over her like a nursemaid. This should not take long, so I can go and check on her. It is also the least I can do for you, allowing me to stay here, offering me room and board.” Magneto took a folder from the desk labeled applicants.

Kitty sighed, chuckling. “Always working, Erik?” 

“Not as much as I could be right now. This is more of a distraction, and will serve as one for Rogue when we talk later.”

“You know you don't have to worry about room and board, right? With me in charge, you're covered for life. I still owe you for giving me my life back,” Kitty reaches a hand across the desk and places it over his. “As far as I'm concerned, regardless if you and Rogue are together, there will be a place for you here, always.”

He considered her words for a minute. “You're serious? You think you owe me for bringing you home?” He watches as she nods her head. “Dear child, you owe me nothing. I am appreciative of the gratitude, but you owe me nothing. You are a mutant, and one of my sisters, in more ways than one.”

“We'll agree to disagree, ok.” He seemed satisfied with that. “Now, the Language Arts teachers are all mutants, and pretty qualified…”

*****

Gambit stood outside Rogue's door, flowers in hand. He was still nervous about seeing her, feeling the guilt in his part of her injuries. Finally finding the courage, he knocks on the door gently. After a minute it opens, revealing Magneto on the other side. 

“Ah, LeBeau. We wondered when you would make an appearance. She is resting, but please, come in,” the older mutant opened the door all the way, making way for Gambit.

“If she be sleepin’ I come back later. No need ta disturb her,” he wasn't looking forward to talking to Magneto by himself. 

“No, I insist. Please, the flowers, place them on the nightstand,” he indicated the one near where Rogue lay. 

“Ok,” he walked in quietly, seeing Rogue sleeping peacefully, her head bandaged still. He did take note that she looked like she'd been crying. Going to the nightstand, he rests the flowers down on a space, near other flowers and a notepad, as Magneto closes the door. Gambit couldn't help but notice Rogue's beautiful handwriting on the pad, listing… baby names?

“Uh…?” Gambit stumbled over his words a bit. He couldn't help but stare at the notepad. 

Magneto sighed deeply. McCoy had suggested that maybe it would help Rogue if she went through some names for the baby, and named it. It had been too early to determine the gender, but Rogue insisted it had been a girl. The evidence of that exercise was there on the nightstand. This was a conversation he did not want with Gambit.

“Rogue is pregnant?” Gambit finally looked over at Magneto. The look on his face was confusing. It was a blend of sorrow and something else. 

Might as well get it out of the way, “She was.”

Was? She was? Meaning she wasn't anymore. That meant… “Non!” Came out in a harsh whisper. “Non! Dat woul' mean she lost it when… non!” Remy LeBeau gave Magneto a mournful look. 

“Neither of us were aware,” Magneto spoke carefully. He didn't want to cry or give in to his anger. Honestly, he did not blame Gambit for what happened. But it would be so easy to use him as a scapegoat. “Had we been, things would have been approached much differently.” 

“Je suis tellement désolé. De Gambit did not know. Tings ben differrent had I known,” Remy started crying. 

Magneto shocked Gambit with his next action. He put a hand on his shoulder, “LeBeau, I know. You have been steadfast in your friendship with Rogue. I know you helped her when Logan decided to be difficult with her. I know you have been there when I could not. I do not doubt that any part you took in her injuries last week were all accidental. So does she.”

“But de bébé? Dat is no so unforgivable, non?” 

“Whatever we do or say is not going to bring the child back. All we can do now is be there for Rogue. She is taking this especially hard. I am… beginning to worry. McCoy believes it may have to do with her head injury. That may be so.” He peers over at the sleeping form of his lover. The medicine that Rachel had brought up was doing its job. Rogue was sleeping through their conversation. “Come sit.”

Magneto led him over to the sitting area Rogue had set up, where she and Rachel usually spent time. The two men sat down in the plush chairs, collecting themselves. 

“Wha’ she nee’ from me? Remy do what he can ta help Rogue.”

“Be her friend, as you have been. Be here for her especially when I cannot. I do not know if this is where we will stay, I have left that up to her after she is healed. If we do, and I am called elsewhere, it will be a comfort to know that she has you at her back.” Magneto knew full well that Rogue could take care of herself. But he began reevaluating a few things about her and their relationship. Things he hadn’t considered before. Like emotional support. Rachel read him the proverbial riot act about that. Noticing that she was indeed thriving with it, even considering her reactions to the miscarriage, this was something he considered talking to Gambit about.

“O'course. Gambit a'ways has Rogue's back. I be dere fer her. No matter where she be.” 

“Good. We are appreciative of this.” Magneto looked like he had a weight lifted off of him. “It should also go without saying that the news of the baby is mine and Rogue's to share.”

“Gambit gotcha. No’ a word from him ‘bout it.” He pretended to zip his lips, causing Magneto to roll his eyes. 

*****

A few weeks later Rogue was given a clean bill of health. She and Magneto found themselves in Headmistress Pryde's office, ready to discuss the future. 

“I wish I could convince you both to stay,” Kitty was genuine in her sentiment. Rogue is an old friend, and Magneto makes himself indispensable around the school. It seemed once word got around that he was present on the campus, very few wanted to actually mess with the school. 

“Ah'm sorry Kitty, really. But, we need this. Muh body is healed, but muh mind and soul ain't. Some time away from ev'rybody will do me some good,” Rogue smiled, but it was empty. She felt normal, but it was almost robotic in how she responded and reacted to everyone. Everyone, but Magnus that is. 

“As I've stated before, where Rogue goes, so do I,” Clutching her hand tightly, Magnus hoped that Rogue felt the encouragement he was sending her. Felt how proud he was of her. She needed time. Yes, their people needed them. However, after hard lessons learned, he knew she needed a respite or things would not end well for her. And that would not do. 

“Is it a secret where you two are going?” Kitty asked.

“No. Ah thought maybe we oughta go back to where it started for us. We're headin’ for the Savage Land.” 

Magneto had kept up with his Citadel base, even made some improvements on it, and offered it up when Rogue had mentioned wanting to go back to the Savage Land. The light in her eyes when he told her gave him hope that it was the right decision. 

“Oh. Ok. You both will keep in touch, right?”

“That is the plan, Katherine. I have already talked to Scott, that if an emergency arises and we are needed, do not hesitate to call us. We will not be completely out of contact,” Magneto assured her.

“Good. Because I will miss you guys. Rogue, you are indispensable when it comes to the kids. We can't afford to lose you. But, I completely understand you needing time,” turning to Magnus, Kitty continues, “I know you will make sure you both are well rested and cared for while you are away. And the offer still stands for you to come back here. As long as I am Headmistress, it's an open invitation, Erik.” 

“Kitty, you have no idea how much that means,” Rogue is teary-eyed, unable to finish her sentence. 

“Just because my counterpart is a hardheaded idiot, it doesn't mean I am,” She winks. 

[not-quite-so-intrepid-hero]

“You killed me.”

“On accident.”

“What were you trying to do?”

“…Fix you.”

“What about me needs fixing, K? What in particular seemed not great?

“You said it was your arm.”

“But I said it wasn’t a problem, right?”

“Well, you say that about a lot of things, but-”

“Well it’s not really your place to decide what my problems are! I kind of know what my problems are, K!”

“No you don’t!”

“There was a time where a fucked up elbow would’ve been the thing you liked most about me. What happened? I thought all the fucked up weird sad things about me were super horny?”

“Listen… I maybe had a tendency at first not to always see all of you. I was definitely sort of bewitched by your sadness and the fact that, you know, you followed me around like a puppy dog and everything- and that was kind of nice for a little bit but after a bit it just becomes too much you know? You can only like take care of somebody for so long and then like tell them that you love them and then not believe it and be like ‘i’m fine! everything’s fine!’ like ‘it’s totally cool that I like wear like grocery bags as shoes sometimes, I like it!’”

“So let me understand. You wanted to fix my arm, so you talked to me about my arm, I said it’s fine, my arm’s fine, I know what my top 10 problems are. Arm? Not one of them. And I’m the boss of what my problems are. So when you knew that I said it wasn’t a problem you said, ‘well, he’s being himself, so I’m going to do what?’ And what did you do next? You pointed a wand at it?”

“I did, and I was going to do healing magic because I’m very good at that. But, I guess, resetting an arm bone involves breaking magic, and that’s kind of your thing.”

“Magic is broken! I don’t know how many times I have to say dream small, but maybe here on this beautiful hillside with my dick in my hands, I’ll say it again and it’ll stick. Magic is broken. It’s broken because of the publishing of those magical secrets, which I thought was going to help, and it didn’t help, and instead it’s ruined. Everything’s ruined. It all got ruined. So magic doesn’t work. So maybe choosing to surgically break a bone with the magic that doesn’t work is not a good idea! And we’re running around the world cosplaying helpers rather than figuring out how to help! You are dressed like you’re from The Matrix and we’re what? We’re inviting people to come to the magical world that doesn’t fucking work?!”

“Well, it’s better than doing nothing alright. Just giving up!”

“Who’s giving up? Who’s giving up? Literally who’s giving up??”

“You’re giving up!”

“I have not given up! I am trying to fix what is broken before we roll out the red carpet to a bunch of Tumblr users!”

“Well maybe the Tumblr users can help solve some things!”

“Who’s going to help! No one does!”

“This is just a near death experience-”

“No, no. Not near death. Exactly in death, and I appreciate that you all came and got me back, thank you to all of you. But I was killed. I was killed. And I was killed because we’re not understanding how warped magic is right now. So I really mean, please, dream small. And fighting aside, when things about me you don’t like occur, they have to also be problems to me before you unilaterally do magic about it.”

“They aren’t things that I don’t like about you, they are things that you don’t take the time to take care of like yourself and your health and your feelings and how your friends might feel about you and helping you.”

“Noted. I will try to not have the things that you want me to neglect remain neglected. That’s the best I can do right now.”

You said quirkyduo roleplay and I sleeper agent activated. No one talks about them they’re my Roman Empire. If you guys are comfortable can you info dump this to me /nf

OH MY GODS YES. YES. HI. I LOVE EXCUSES TO TALK ABOUT THIS RP AHGJK

(also holy fuck hi hello??? one of my favourite dsmp bloggers in my inbox whaT okay be cool be cool be chill)

ahem

so. so. so. right. so

(i'm sorry in advance for how long this ended up ToT i got excited)

this rp takes place in mooooostly canon dsmp, not long after Ranboo perished

in this instance, i play tubbo (i also play quackity dream and yogurt but they're not RELEVANT so we dont need to worry about them)

we've only managed to get one solid quirkyduo scene in thus far so i'll ramblke about that, but i also have our Plans that i can ramble about (i'll intersperse some screenshots of them too!)

so Revivebur is wandering the fuck around las nevadas, as one does, lurking and being a general fucking menace, as one does. enter Revivebur into the Tubburger joint

Tubbo tries really very hard actually to ignore him because "prime damnit i actually do need to talk to him but i dont WANNA" but eventually realizes this place is dead enough that he is GOing to have to

at this point, Wilbur doesn't, uh. he doesn't actually know that Ranboo is dead-

he's been busy carting children around to see Phil and trying to avoid his problems (Quackity) and everyone else is trying very hard to avoid him because he tends to bring problems wherever he goes, so he's not managed to catch wind of this news just yet

Tubbo, of course, is grieving. he's grieving hard. he doesn't really want to talk to his old boss or his husband's old.. boss, or whatever Wilbur had been to them. nor does he want to think about Ranboo right now. I mean, he's literally working to avoid thinking, c'mon Wilbur why do you have to ruin his plans like this

well, shit. Tubbo, you really are awful at hiding things. at least, you're awful at hiding this thing. now Wilbur KNOWs he is AWARE something is wrong, now you gotta talk about it

well. hm. now that's out of the bag, huh. good job, tubbo, look at you talking about your shit. great job keeping a cool head. there's absolutely nothing concerning about your demeanour right now

oh, did i ever mention what it actually is that tubbo needs to talk to wilbur about? we'll come back to that. you (the reader) can find out whenever wilbur does!

so the information is out now that ranboo is Fucking Dead, great! how does Wilbur react?

"i'm on the clock" is SUCH an excuse that he pulled out of his ass to avoid listening to wilbur. tubbo so does not want to talk to this guy right now. he's dodging the conversation SO hard

gods. oh my GODS am i normal about this section. tubbo listening so immediately to wilbur after all this time. all it took was the barest hint of the tone his old general used to take, and... obeying orders like the soldier he never stopped being

oh. a few things that are proooobably worth mentioning and may be confusing you (the reader)

my headcanons of tubbo are very involved in this rp, hence the swappage between he/him and they/them, because in this instance they are a he/they lad. ALSO about tubbo, he has a slight stutter in this portrayal due to. uh. nerve damage or something from the explosions. i haven't fleshed it out super far but yeah he does canonically have fine motor issues and also a stutter due to That

also, Wilbur got shot. long story, but the injury that's passively mentioned a few times in these screenshots is. that. he's healing fine, he'll be fine, but that did happen

prime above i need sleep. ANYWAY. back to the rambling!

two things. one: OW. i hurt my own emotions with this one. "the world doesn't stop for one man. even if tubbo's world did" hnhhhnhn yep im fine im good im normal about beeduo

alsoooo tubbo taking that passive wording? he KNOWS ranboo was killed. he knows it wasn't an accident. he's just not saying it "that Ranboo had been- ahem. Had died. That's it." AVOIDANCE. AVOIDING. AVOIDINGGGGG

the screenshots are gonna get a tiiiiiny bit less frequent from here on out because if i don't stop screenshotting literally Everything we're never going to get anywhere. there's still so much more Scene to get through before i'm done rambling about this

(however, if you (the reader) or anyone really would like to see the actual full scene without being cut up like it is for this post, i can see about posting full screenshots of it)

so, Wilbur does a little bit of pressing here to try to get Tubbo to Talk About His Issues. this doesn't... really work. he asks why the fuck Tubbo isn't on grief leave if he's grieving, Tubbo dodges the question, and he in fact dodges the question SO hard that he gets back to the original point, which is Michael

oh yeah, Michael is VERY relevant to this scene, did i mention that? yeah :D

gods im so normal about this duo. MOVING ON

Wilbur ends up Deciding that Tubbo is done working for tonight whether he likes it or not. a few threats later, they're in the back of the restaurant so Tubbo can close up shop properly

so, they go to the back of the restaurant, and Tubbo goes about closing up shop. cleaning the machines, etc etc

we do have a briiiiief mention of Quackity's.... cannibalism... thing.... but it gets glossed over pretty quickly because Tubbo doesn't actually know much about that. if he actually doesn't know he can't answer Wilbur's questions

so the question still stands : why does Tubbo need to talk to Wilbur?

well, the answer to that is that Wilbur knows piglins. his brother is a piglin, i mean, i would certainly hope he knows piglins

so Tubbo has questions. because damn it, he is not going to be a shitty parent to his son, not after he just lost a father, not after they just lost a third of their family. he'll be damned if he doesn't learn how to be a good parent to this boy. he's been trying his best, yeah, but fuuuuck this whole parenting thing is hard. especially because he is literally 17

did i mention that Tubbo is still a child?

my partner is now bullying me as i write this post for how long this post is getting

oh prime it's over 1000 words. okay. i should wrap this up. he's right to be bullying me

ANYWAY. Tubbo has questions. Wilbur also has questions, actually

ah. and then we get to this

Tubbo is fucking TIRED, dude. also, Wilbur figured out that Ranboo was Killed and didn't just Die. so much for hiding that, good job Tubbo

but yeah

Wilbur asks a couple questions about Michael, his habits, all that jazz. Tubbo answers them and also has a mini crisis about terminology ("zombie" is kiiiiinda an outdated term in this lore. its more of a curse? Tubbo has a Moment (haha tubbo moment) about if its a slur. its not)

eventually, they end up deciding that it would be best for Wilbur to come visit Tubbo and Michael for a few days, get a feel for Michael's mannerisms and learn how Tubbo has been parenting so he can give some pointers

:(

we're LEARNING. TUBBO IS LEARNING. he's actually very excited about this and by the way he has been bopping Michael so much ever since learning this. he didn't KNOW, man

the scene doesn't actually have that much else for me to ramble about? they plan properly for Wilbur to visit, and... now we're waiting!

unfortunately this is the only actual scene i've got to ramble at you about. Wilbur has been busy doing whatever Wilbur does, and Tubbo is... actually, Tubbo's in the prison right now-

that's a long story. that would be another post if we got into that one. he's FINE he's not imprisoned, he's visiting, but. yknow

but yeah!!!! that's my quirkyduo nonsense, i'm so sorry for how long this post got dear gods. hopefully you got your fill of infodumping though! i'm almost always happy to ramble about this roleplay honestly, so if there are anymore questions PLEASE feel free to send em my way, i love talking about my writing and most of my writing atp is for this roleplay

thank you for the ask :D

i hope this response was even remotely coherent, i've read this scene so many times i'm not actually sure how easy or difficult this was to follow

[rootytootypie]

❤️💨🫘😳🤢🦸‍♂️for Spiderman please. Uhhhh not the Tom Holland one, the adult versions just to be clear hehe

💨: On a scale of gassiness, Peter is definitely a reticient seven. He doesn’t go around tooting his horn at all, but his Aunt May knows this (other) little secret. She thinks it’s the sweetest thing her nephew is so polite, but she always makes sure there’s Gas X, ginger ale, and mint around the house to settle his poor stomach. She also definitely makes sure Mary Jane is in on it once Peter moves out, so even at ESU, he’s well stocked with remedies for his tummy troubles. MJ is super subtle about it, making sure he doesn’t realize she knows until he’s ready to tell her (mostly because he’d be mortified if he know his aunt told his crush all about how he’s not actually an avid tuba player, and in fact has never even owned the instrument). Peter’s actually more shy with friends and family than strangers, mostly because he finds his loud gas so embarrassing, but also because he doesn’t want to worry anyone with his stomach problems.

🫘: Peter and beans have a dangerous, odiferous affair going. He knows he shouldn’t touch them in any form, but in one of the culinary capitals of the world, how can he resist refried beans, bean dip, bean chips, and all the forms it takes that have Peter swinging home tooting like a tugboat? They just smell so good going in? How can they stink so much coming out? Yes, they require a retreat to a fortress of solitude (his bedroom at May’s, the dorm room at peak party times so Harry’s out, or his apartment), but the taste makes it worth it. He pines, he perishes (mostly because he’s a little afraid Triple J will declare Spidey a gaseous menace).

😳: When you’re gassy like Peter, you definitely have a few embarrassing farts in your memory banks. But there only one that can be decreed the worst.

It was Peter’s first college party at ESU, in the extreme ostentatious Alpha Mu Pi mansion on campus. The place was cavernous, with no doors clearly marked and most of the freshman being as clueless to the layout as he was. This was very bad, because his nerves had driven him to packing in the chips and bean dip abandoned in the corner. And after about fifteen chips, Peter’s stomach was bubbling. He was sure it was brewing something nasty.

His lack of direction led him to a door another random guy thought might be the bathroom. Instead, as Peter flung the door open and saw two guys making out, he let out a *BBBBBBRRRRRRbbbbbblllllrllllrllrllllllBBBBB!* that rang out louder than the music pumping on the stereo. Everyone was looking at him, including the gay couple, one of whom happened to be Rodney Worth, the starting quarterback who just transferred from Crofton University.

Peter and his fart had just accidentally outed the quarterback to a packed frat party. For weeks, he hung his head in shame, especially as the news hit the school paper. He not only embarrassed himself, he’d ruined some poor guy’s life (I’m partly picturing the Spideyverses of the past films, so it’s technically always the 2000s/early 2010s in their universe; i.e. Rodney would NOT be in for a fun time). He finally sighed, gathered up his courage, and went to Rodney to apologize.

He found Rodney under a tree in the quad, openly reading James Joyce to his boyfriend. “Can I talk to you, Rodney,” Peter asked nervously. The broad shouldered football player nodded and stood up, following Pete a few steps away.

“I’m really sorry for outing you,” Peter said. “It was an accident, but I know that doesn’t make things better, so I’m just plain sorry that the news spread so much, and-”

“Sorry,” Rodney said, perplexed. “I’ve been wanting to thank you. I’m finally free to be who I am, and fuck anyone who thinks badly of it. Because of you, I’m not burdened by any secrets. I’m gay and proud.”

“Oh,” Peter said, surprised. “Well, that’s great. I’m glad there was a positive side for you.”

“Do me a favor, though,” Rodney asked with a grin. “Lay off the bean dip, okay?”

❤️: Peter was downright terrified to fart in front of MJ. He was afraid one toot would be the thing to make her snap out of dating him and remember him as a geeky neighbor boy instead of a boyfriend. He held it pretty steadfastly…until one night when they end up on the coach together watching a movie - and the popcorn mixed in his belly with the bean chips he ate as a quick snack. Peter shifted, ready to head for the bathroom - just as she rested her head on his shoulder and wrapped her arm around his waist. She looked up at him, and her eyes made him want to melt. “I’m so glad we get a night to ourselves,” she said. “No urgent crimes to interrupt, no crazy missions, or jacked up supervillains. Just you and me.”

“Same,” Peter squeaked, his voice breaking from nerves.

“Are you alright,” MJ asked. “You look kinda feverish. Can you still get sick?”

“I’m fine,” Peter protested. “Just…happy. Content. Can’t believe how lucky I am.”

“Yeah…okay,” MJ said. “If you’re sure.”

“Sure as shootin’,” Peter heard himself say, and blushed. Where the hell did come from? At least his embarrassing little problems is under wraps-

*PrrrrrooooooBLLLPBLLPBLLP!*

“Oh, God, MJ, I’m so sorry, I can’t believe I-”

“Finally showed me your tuba playing,” MJ snarked, giggling.

Peter pouted. “Just for that, I’m gonna point out you toot in your sleep,” he groused.

“Aw, Pete,” she said. “Is it really bad? There’s some ginger ale in the fridge I can get you.”

“…Okay,” Peter agreed. “But if I have to fart more, will you still cuddle me?”

“Duh,” MJ said. “Just stand up if you have to shoot webs out of your butt, because I just bought this couch from Pottery Barn.”

“…I love you,” he said, giving her puppy dog eyes. “And I’m sorry.”

“You don’t have to be sor- Oh, my God, that’s vile! Talk about silent but violent. Apology accepted! …Now come back here, I’m cold.”

🤢: Peter is very easily grossed out by certain people’s farts. Certain people being Flash Thompson on a power trip farting in his general direction. Other than that example of fart torture (not really my scene), Peter is sorta ambivalent to farts. Well, the one exception is when he sneaks up on criminals and one of them farts in surprise. That cracks him up. He’s definitely as much of a worrier as his friends are about him, and happily give out tummy rubs and forehead kisses to any of his girlfriends who are gassy for whatever reason, but especially period cramps.

🦸‍♂️: He doesn’t fart web. That said, his sudden bean intolerance only came after he was bitten by the spider. Before that, he didn’t struggle with any food. There have been times the resulting farts propelled him forward by a few extra centimeters as he swings through the city, so the gas has also definitely gotten more powerful since he became super. It’s as if the bite gave him extra protein farts as a consequence of his newly developed bod.

Watching The Dragon Prince Season Six Part Six! Moment of Truth. Under the cut as per the usual! This episode will reveal my habit of using more pet names for characters the more distressed I become!

I’d just like to say that every time the intro plays, I experience a few seconds of intense fear as I wait to see if it’s Callum again. They've done it twice now I am fully expecting them to do it again.

Oh dang, that is a beautiful opening shot of the sunrise. Absolutely stunning.

Ohh, Callum honey. I know the feeling, it sucks.

Aww, Raylaaaa. I love her trying to cheer Callum up with the crown, it's so sweet…

Ohh... poor Callum... Yeah, that would be a blow to anyone’s self esteem. Especially when we know from The Frozen Ship that Callum's been struggling with the idea that he had already permanently ruined himself by using dark magic.

(Also again, the voice acting is amazing.)

Oh, you know, that’s a good idea! Since they don’t really need to kill Aaravos they just need to stop him from being freed and the main threats to his status as imprisoned are Claudia finding the pearl or Callum getting possessed. If it’s in the Starscraper being guarded by Celestial Elves, then that’s both problems solved! Claudia doesn’t know where it is and it’d be pretty difficult for a possessed Callum to go get it, especially not before anyone could stop him. Good thinking Rayla!

OH GOD.

...On the one hand that’s really bad and a serious problem but on the other hand that is so fucking funny. The magic prison you've been carrying wrapped in an anti-magic blanket through the freezing cold is a giant M&M. Sorry. There is no good way to deliver the news, huh.

Oh, Callum… The way his voice shakes and he sounds so out of breath like he’s having a panic attack. Poor baby.... 🥺

Oh, Honey…

And of course it makes him feel worse because to him, if it really was Aaravos influencing Callum without him knowing, then it’s confirming that, not only is there the possibility that he could one day become a threat to his friends safety, he actively is a threat to them. And if it was simply an accident, at the very least, there’s something he can do to prevent another accident. If it's an accident, then it's something that he did and something that he can make an effort to not let it happen again in the future. Whereas if it’s Aaravos, there’s nothing he can do. The thing he could have done to prevent Aaravos possessing him is not use dark magic but that ship has sailed. He’d be entirely helpless and it’d be his own fault.

Also, it goes without saying but I’m going to say it anyways: Give Callum’s VA an award, the voice-acting is so good, the franticness, the hyperventilation. It’s so good.

Ooh, I love this style of flashback. I love the way that it’s the same artstyle as the credits and how it makes perfect sense since in-universe, Viren’s writing all this down on a piece of parchment. Also, I think that this is first time we’ve heard Lissa’s name in the actual show! I love how you can already see that Claudia got her hair-texture from Lissa while Soren got his from Viren.

Soren with his little dragon plushy!!!! I'm going to start crying...

Hmm. I know it’s probably just coincidence, but the fact that Soren seemingly had a terminal respiratory disease makes me wonder if maybe he had the same condition as Callum’s father, since Callum said that Damian had “some sort of terrible breathing sickness.”

THE QUOTE FROM HARROW!!!! OUGH! “Claudia and I are still searching for a creative solution." "Call it what it is. Dark magic." vs "I found a creative solution. I suppose I should call it what it is, dark magic." The growth.

Oh?? I’ve always been curious what it is about the staff that enhances dark magic since it doesn’t come from a specific primal source. Usually, it comes from taking the life force of living things, but how does a staff help with that? Hmm…

Okay, I’ve questioned this before but. What is up with Kpp’Ar’s arm? It’s clearly injured… Is he using his own blood for spells? It feels like such a random detail to add without explanation. I wonder if we’ll find out...

Ah, so Harrow isn’t king yet. Interesting… I guess that makes sense since Kpp’Ar doesn’t appear in any of the Magma Titan flashbacks.

I think I remember Kpp’Ar having given up dark magic from The Puzzle House (please forgive me if I'm wrong my memory is shit), but I wonder what could have happened to make him veer away from dark magic and the staff to the point where he won’t consider using them to save a child… The royal family doesn’t have Aaravos’s mirror yet so I don’t think it could be that. I am so curious about this man...

KPP’AR MAN, COME ON! I get that you’ve seen some things but you could at the bare minimum be a LITTLE more tactful than that! If there’s some reason that the staff can’t be used, you could, I don’t know, EXPLAIN IT to Viren? Instead of just leaving him sobbing in the room with no explanation as to why you are letting his son die? ...I see where Viren gets it from.

Sksfjalkjslkf  I forgot about the monochrome so when the scene switched back to the Starscraper I was like wait what the hell is happening?

Kosmo, man, I’m not sure this is helping, but also, Callum petting Sneezles for emotional support… I love themm…

Callum, honey… Ough... I am going to cry I love Callum so much. Sweetie…

Ssakljfsalkfj Rayla trying gently elbow Kosmo away from Callum.

Callum, honey, sweetie, darling, sweetheart, love… The fact that he’s just utterly given up on himself and on his ability to continue. That he thinks he’s just too far gone, that there’s nothing left so there’s no point in even trying… Ough. And the implications of refusing to get rid of Aaravos’s control considering the fact that he made Rayla promise to kill him if he ever got controlled again and she did. Oh, honey… Callum’s arc this season is repeatedly punching me directly in the stomach.

Plus the voice acting, again. The way he sounds so dead and empty and almost apathetic, like it’s already over, like there’s just no point to anything anymore. AHG.

Once a dumb sibling always a dumb sibling.

“Truth is everything. But before you give it to another, ask yourself, are you giving them clarity, light, and purpose? Or are you shifting a burden to someone who needs all their strength?” I really like Astrid and I like how they're not going the "lying is always bad, telling the truth is always good in every situation no matter the context" route and instead acknowledging that it requires more nuance! Also, I love how Astrid is animated here, her body language is very expressive and fun.

OH? Oh that explains why it was monotone I had been thinking that it was just like, a sudden style change to portray the emotions or something skjfaslkj. That make a lot more sense.

Also, I like the clarification of how the future-sight works! It seems kind of like Clearsight’s ability in Wings of Fire where she can see all of the possible futures that diverge from her decision. Kosmo can see the possibilities that arise from his decision of whether to tell the truth or not and then pick the best option once he’s seen the diverging paths. It’s probably my favorite form of “prophetic” ability and I especially appreciate it being used here since it lets Timeblind elves like Kosmo exist while still holding true to the themes in the show about the nonexistence of destiny and how the choices you make impact the future.

Okay, I still feel like being Timeblind would suck. I can only imagine Kosmo feeling super awkward repeating what he said in the vision and like. I don’t know but I feel like it’d be creepy to have the people around you constantly parrot what you’ve already heard them say like they’re reading from scripts and you know what they’re about to say and the exact tone they’ll say it in a second before the words come out of their mouths. That would entirely creep me out.

Self confidence restored!!

Hils Watches Imitation - Ep 10

Hehe! Is she trying to help them get back together now? I love this

At the start of this drama Yujin would have been thrilled if Ma Ha chose him over Ryeok. Now he's just 'wait, what?'

I love them

Everyone is so invested in this relationship 😂

Okay, I kind of love her now. Making Ryeok sing a song about how immature he is

I love them. I wonder if there is fic

Well that is disappointing

Oh no is that dude from Shax whose name I can't remember going to step in to help her practice her duet?

Oh shit! Okay I did not anticipate Lia's duet partner getting badly injured in a car accident wtf. Shax dude is definitely going to fill in now, I reckon.

Who could have predicted

Ew. Why are men so gross?

Time for my daily conversation about how Jongho is a really good dancer when he doesn't have to conserve his energy for singing

Either it's not true or the other guy started it. Pick one.

OOOOOOOH! Evil CEO buying up smaller companies has suddenly become plot relevant. Am I going to get attacked if I say this reminds me of what Hybe does?

I love that literally none of the other members of Sparkling are sticking up for him. This is what happens when you're a dick to everyone.

Ah, yes, the correct solution to getting into trouble for bad behaviour is to drive to a company and smash the sign with a baseball bat. Not unhinged at all.

Ohhhh! So he auditioned for Shax and didn't get in and that's why he's so angry. Still don't fully understand why he hates Yujin so much but he's clearly bitter about a lot of things.

Ryeok: the problem is you, actually. And you know it.

Oh he bought La Mi Ra's company too! Are they all going to team up to take this dude down? I'm assuming the members of Shax will also be on board when they find out that he forced Ryeok to break up with Ma Ha and was also (presumably) involved in Annie's death and Eunjo going missing.

Fuck yeah take him down!

I shouldn't laugh but I love that Ma Ha has gone to spend some time with her family, meanwhile Ryeok is brooding in his man cave

Those are really ugly shoes

He showed up faster than I was expecting

I love that her mum is like 'please argue with her more often so she comes home to get away from you'

That's because he only cares about his own feelings

Wait why is he fucking over his own group? I really hope this ends with everyone signing with handsome CEO dad's company

Dude, she literally just said she doesn't want her group to get ruined by a dating scandal. You might not care about your career anymore, but she clearly cares about hers.

Well at least he can admit it

OOOH does the Shax leader know something?

Now he's figured out that Annie and Eunjo are connected at least. The plot thickens...

[dumborangecat]

Keep seeing people talk about how Betty and everyone else should have loved Ice King as he was and I wanna talk about that.

Its important to mention first that there are 2 main ideas for what the crown represents within our world, addiction or dementia.

If you're going with the addiction metaphor (which I am), then to say that Betty should have accepted Simon as he was just takes away from their characters and their arc.

In elements Betty tries to do just that, get over the fact that Simon's gone now and love him as Ice King but she can't, because fundamentally Ice King just isn't simon. He's crazy and irrational and impulsive and while he shows fatherly traits (to Gunter and sometimes marcy) he isn't nearly as caring as Simon was, especially towards Betty.

Betty says it herself "being with you is like looking at my old life through a fun house mirror. It's driving me mad." Ice King being with Betty and being around Betty is actively detrimental to her mental health, and if she hadn't left when she did It would have hurt ice king too.

Because the crown represents addiction, of course its going to hurt both Simon and his friends/family, because that's what happens with addicts in the real world. For adventure time to push a narrative where everyone accepts ice king as the crazy, unhealthy and not good for anyone (besides maybe gunter) person he is would be very wrong and out of character. It'd be like saying you should accept any loved ones who do drugs as the person they are while on drugs despite the fact that person is hurting both themselves and you. It's not a good message to say the least.

It also takes away from there overall relationship and arc, Betty can't settle for a warped, different and crazy version of Simon, she loves her Simon, and if the roles were reversed it would be th exact same. That's what makes their relationship so special and tragic, they love eachother so much and are completely unwilling to let the other go even when it's the best thing for both of them. For Betty to accept and love Simon as ice king would ruin that.

(I know other characters like finn and Jake accept and befriend Simon as ice king, but that's all they've known him as. Even if they know that's not who Simon truly is, knowing Is entirely different to actually being there and seeing who Simon used to be)

I mentioned the 2 crown metaphors earlier so I'll circle back to that. When talking from a 'the crown represents dementia' viewpoint things do change a bit, which ice kings madness no longer being something horrible he brought upon himself (like addiction) but instead more of a tragic accident. However this doesn't change the fact that ice king is still unhealthy for Betty (and himself) and that her loving him would undermine both their characters and their relationship.

Though it is sweet to think about Betty loving him for who he is now, to say it should have happened and the show would be better with it is just incorrect. Also it would kinda ruin the impact if ice king turning back into Simon at the shows end.

That's all goodbye

[noffy96]

Okay. I haven't seen a lot of people talk about it yet. Because I have a feeling a lot of people are dropping of tsams because of what happened in the last arc.

But I really wanna talk about old moon for a second. Because I've been really liking these past few episodes.

But first. I must say i am pretty bummed that I am getting this after how nexus/new moon had been handled. I think it could have been done way better. And I am not surprised it left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouth. No matter how you look at it.

But I am not gonna hold that against what old moons character (for now)

While I would have liked a bit MORE out of a reaction from sun. I am kinda glad they are taking this more calm/detached approach.

It feels like we get a bit of calm after weeks of angst and stress that was surely needed. Also it gives old moon a few times to act on trying to do better in small ways and succeed. Before getting to get put in front of a BIG desission again. And seeing if he will fuck up big time. Small time or not at all.

Personally I would like it if he fell back, but not all the way. But we'll see how it goes.

In absolutely LOVE how awkward he was with earth

Just you could feel it dripping of every second of that conversation. And just the fact that we learned through this that he can't cook was hilarious

. And how he interacted with dazzel as well.

Just being fascinated by her. And just...at the end that sentiment of "I don't know what you are. But I want to help you find out"

I dunno it felt very sweet.

Him getting drunk with Monty was fun. Glad to see them still being friends and have a person he is not so stilled with. (Also hope sun gets to find out and tease him for it. )

And then there is how he is interacting with sun. Sun still seems distant. Sun is seemingly just trying to go through the motions and getting him up to speed. But emotionally not fully checked in.

So far, sun hasn't called moon brother again....at least I don't think so? Just moon. And I think it kinda shows that despite sun being friendly and willing to at least mend things. He ain't there yet.

But old moon seems to be trying, and legit trying. He still runs his mouth and seems to notice when he might even on accident be putting sun down. So much so he might be a bit... overcorrecting with the ' I don't mean you by that' type comments.

And he is involving sun. Telling him about the new lap. Showing him. Giving him the option to get his magic back About what he plans to do for dazzel. Not hiding that he is doing something for Monty. Wanting sun along to look for the thing ruin made.

And him talking to sun about KC and earth misconception despite saying initiallu that telling him might not be the best idea.

(also just most of the lab episode was really nice. Conversations still feeling strained...yet reaching over the smaller. Easier to talk about gaps. When the big ones feel so big)

I just.

It feels to me. That he is LEGIT trying. And while I dont love how we got to this situation. I do like these moments. They feel good.

I am excited to see more of that develop. I am still hesitant on als the stuff that is gonna have to come to pass with nexus/new moon and dark sun.

But right now i am liking this. And wanted to ramble positively about the show for a bit.

This show makes me feel crazy with how contradictory it can make me feel on certain espacts of it.

While sorry for the long rambly post.

Just needed to get it out of my system sorry about any spelling mistakes. I blame my phone. My autocorrect and the late hour.

Okay...bye

Edit.

Also just the whole family doing d and d was fun. And I wanna see more (and as i saw some people say. There is still a spot on that table for solar to join. And yes. Leg him join family game night)

I CANT WAIT FOR YOUR REACTION TO THE STREAM, I know that you’re at work rn and I’m wishing you all the promotions and vacation day soon ❤️❤️❤️❤️

🥹 I've finished watching it a few hours ago! I have my thoughts underneath the cut, but I will be frank upfront... I actually gotten spoiled on accident this morning 😅 So, I wasn't actually in a good headspace to enjoy the stream for over half an hour. I feel kind of childish for being bummed out like that, but I'm trying to be positive about the update!

Sleep Quality Time — Do we all think this will finally fix my fucked up sleep schedule 🧍‍♀️ I know people have been asking for this feature since last year, so it's cool to see the devs implementing this! I don't really see myself using it, but... we'll see :')

Quality Time Updates — I love the change in locations, especially for the workout mode. It feels more immersive than being in like a gray room with them lol

Kitty Widgets — This is the only thing that matters to me. But how will I choose one 🥺 The other widgets seem alright, but when you've seen what I made as my tablet home screen wallpaper with my thirst trap Zayne edit, this seems underwhelming 😅

Digital Journal — MLQC has this feature (less developed though) from a few years back. I don't use it. 🫠 It seems cute, but I might end up forgetting about it (like I do with MLQC lol).

Witnessed By Deepspace banner — ... am I going to get lynched for saying I felt underwhelmed? Don't get me wrong, I think all of the cards look gorgeous and will get all of them. What I mean is... I don't care for rumors or leaks (have them blocked, but things still happen 🤷‍♀️), so the months leading up to a rumored "wedding" banner kind of ruined this experience for me, because... I'm not surprised? It was just like an, "Oh. There it is." moment.

That said, I appreciate all of the references to each individual myth. I think both the men and MC's outfits are all breathtakingly gorgeous. I love the sceneries, the dialogues, etc. I still don't think it's an "actual" wedding, because I picked up on a few lines by MC that seems to imply these moments aren't "real". Many of them feel too fantastical, almost like an AR immersive experience, or involving magic of sorts.

Which wouldn't bother me tbqh. I've played enough otome games to know where to place my expectation level to avoid being disappointed. If it is a real wedding banner, then fantastic. If not, we move on.

But honestly ✨✨✨✨ GOOD LUCK, EVERYONE. I HOPE YOUR GROOM(S) COME HOME SOON ✨✨✨✨

"Witnessed By Deepspace" theme song — I feel like for a theme song, it should have its own segment to be showcased properly (Time limit be damned. Its their own live broadcast for fuck's sake.). I'll be honest. I still don't know what the song sounds like. I'll need to listen to it on its own later when I have time. Perhaps, it would have been better if they had released the song first instead of the teasing promo pic. Their decision to wait to debut it with the livestream seems odd, since it just gotten buried under other new features and events instead of being appreciated on its own like the past theme songs.

LADS Soundtracks, Vol. 2 — I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE. I was hoping this would be available, but I wasn't sure if we had enough tracks for volume 2 yet. My spotify unwrapped is going to be even more dominated by LADS. 🗿

Illusio — MY WIFE IS COMING HOME. 😭 I'm marrying panda!Sylus in that decrepit old chapel from our trauma years 🗿 This isn't a warning. It's a threat.

are we prepared for my Illusio stash to get even more depraved, er, I mean bigger.

Before Sunset After Vows — I'll be honest. It was at this point, I actually started perking up and feeling a bit of happiness. 😅 I'm excited to play around with the chibis (Chibi Caleb!!!) I also love MC's little dress. It's so cute. 🥹 I'm going to try to take as many screencaps this time, since I didn't for the anniversary event. :'(

Caleb: Yearly Nostalgia — This looks like such a happy card for Caleb, and it's free! Obviously, what's not to like <333 🥹

Echo of Kahli — I'm so bad about keeping up with AC. I haven't completed most of the stories with many of the LIs 😔 ...and yet... that fishing game intrigues me... ngl the other day I was thinking about the magnetic fishing toy I had as a child... and wanted one again... 🧍‍♀️ I also like the swiping game too lol

I'm sorry for being a negative Nancy or childish or maybe not as enthusiastic. When I watched it, it was really just, "Oh. Ok." because it's... hard to have a reaction when people already told you or hinted at this before you could experience it yourself??? If that makes sense 😔😔😔😔😔 I promise I am not mad at anyone in particular. It's always hard to navigate these days even if I don't use the app or other social media sites. Things just happen. 🥺

WIBTA for getting revenge against the person that ruined my life?

I (36M) am (still am, losing your job doesn't get rid of a persons PHD) a scientist that specializes in theoretical physics and studies of the multiverse. Until around a year and a half ago I had a job at a prestigious science facility, where I designed a device that would transport anything from other dimensions to ours (we had to set it off a little bit ahead of schedule, but overall, I'd say I did a good job with the timeframe I was given!).

This is where a person I'll call SM comes in.

One of the tests I ran on the device involved bringing a radioactive spider from another dimension to ours, but unfortunately, it escaped and bit him, which resulted in him gaining amazing powers, and becoming a superhero (he killed the spider right after it bit him, BTW.) (just thought I should bring that up.) (really stellar guy, takes important moments in his life REAL seriously.) (I don't think text is doing a good job conveying how sarcastic I am being right now, so to clarify: I AM BEING REALLY SARCASTIC.).

My first face-to-face meeting with SM was brief, but impactful. It happened when he and another important-but-not-so-relevant-to-the-story-guy broke in to my (ex) workplace a day before we were going to set off the device for real, all so that they could steal top secret information from us....And a bagel?! Which SM actually used as a projectile to HIT ME WITH (what kind of person DOES THAT? And with so much unnecessary force, too!)

Then, a day later, he blew up my invention WHILE I WAS STILL IN THE ROOM. I wasn't even one of the people fighting him, all I was trying to do was grab a canister of the dark energy my device was generating, but he didn't care at all that I was there!

Because of him blowing up that machine, I was turned in to...Something else. I don't have a face anymore, and my entire body is covered with these holes. Things fall through them all the time, and it leads to all sorts of embarrassing accidents that always cause people to laugh at me.

Not only that, but by doing this, he also made me lose my job, which was practically my entire life. I look so grotesque, my own family won't even LOOK AT ME, and I can't even get a new job to support myself because of the way my condition makes me look!

So that means by the time SM and I finally met again, I was so dangerously low on funds, I had to resort to a life of crime! I decided to jumpstart it by robbing an ATM machine because that's pretty harmless and easy, isn't it? I mean, it's a machine, nobody loses anything from me taking from one of those, besides for the bank, but who cares about them? They steal from people all the time! I'd hardly say it's a villainous act to take from them, except for the fact that robbery is illegal. Anyway, the shopkeeper assaulted me for trying to steal from the ATM machine.

Maybe I should have seen that one coming.

...Eh, whatever.

It only gets worse from here, because then, out of nowhere, SM shows up, makes fun of me, and then cuts me off while I tried explaining to him who I am and why I should matter to him, just so he could read a text. Which is just unbelievably rude, and tbqh, pretty unheroic!

He spent the rest of what was SUPPOSED to be our epic battle on his phone, texting some person. This fight was meant to be a huge deal for both of us, and he didn't take it seriously at all, he barely even bothered to look at me for a majority of it. At one point, he even webbed me up and left in the middle!

Our fight did eventually resume, and midbattle he told some police officer that I was just a "villain of the week", while I was RIGHT THERE!

Eventually, the fight brought as all the way back to the site of the accident, right where our connection first formed. This was finally a point where I had the chance to tell him everything, what I did for him, what he did to me! And even after all that, he still treated me like a JOKE!

I got really mad at that point, which came back to bite me pretty quickly. As in, I accidentally kicked myself in to one of my own holes (like I said before, I have a lot of holes, they go places, one hole took my foot to my own butt, and I fell in to another hole).

But on the bright side, this resulted in me finding out that I'm a transdimensional superbeing. Which gave me an epiphany! I finally know what I want to do now, and how I'm going to do it. There's a lot of science involved, multiversal travel, stuff like that. But the basic idea is that I'm getting payback. The way I see it, he took everything from me, so why shouldn't I get to take everything from him? It makes sense, right? Because of him, I have nothing, so why should he have anything? It's only fair!

So, as long as everything goes according to plan, by the time I'm done, he shouldn't have anything left, and then he'll finally learn to respect me.

....Wow, this came out way longer than I thought it would.

Here's a tl;dr!:

SM ruined my life, WIBTA if I ruined his in return?

[yuraslefttoe]

nyanyame nyanyajyuu nyanya do no nyarabi de nyaku nyaku inyanyaku nyanyahan nyanyadai nyan nyaku nyarabete nyaganyagame- or short about how I feel myself for the third wednesday in a row..) 

I’ll say again that I love your work, let’s go. 

1. oke, do your characters have an approximate age? I know you were already replying to a similar question, but you said that it would be a spoiler. soooo... how about now? are you ready to show your cards?? 

2. I remember ferry making headcanons on the voices of pafl characters. do you have something like that? like... are there any songs that you associate with adm characters voices? or maybe the vocaloids that you use would be suitable for this roles? 

3. I would like to know a little more about daily interactions between misha and andrey. what could it have been before misha got into a time loop? these two "hate eachother basically"(©my fav pic), right? was it something like the cold war and them trying to ignore each other's existence, accompanied by contemptuous glances? or maybe frequent and loud quarrels?? OR maybe they pretended that everything was fine and there was no tension whatsoever, but any of them often irritated the other one or threw caustic phrases in order to offend him???

4. and in general, how did this hatred arose? how did it begin? did something suddenly happen, ruining the calm relationship? accident?? or guys didn't get along from the beginning for some reason??? (god I love these two, I need to know everything *NotLikeThis NotLikeThis*) 

(I hope I managed to fit it into less space, huh? . . . okay, but this time there are four sketches! see? no need to hit me, enki, god, please, no!!!) 

(eh.. I kindly ask you not to take these..... concept arts(??) in full high, as well as headcanons(???) on misha's teeth and eyes of boiis(<зз), seriously. these are just silly things that I thought about briefly and my wife and I thought it was interesting (however, if you don't mind these ideas, I'd like to know what you think about them.....!! (*´∇`)ﾉ)) 

(and also, I had to greatly simplify the design of the dyusha's clothes for myself because... I spent a too much time, trying to copy the horror that happens in the canon art, but I SWEAR TO GOD I almost burst into tears, because nothing worked *laughter that turns into the start of a nervous breakdown*) 

(I.. should probably be very ashamed for the last sketch, and... to be honest, yes, that’s it, I’m ashamed. (IT'S ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE ANDREY IS BEING MOCKED INSTEAD OF HIM GETTING A SINCERE COMPLIMENT) but my wife made me show this to you, so...... *blinks twice*)

i want to say they are around 20-25 yrs old

after thinking about this for awhile i cant think of any good voiceclaims for my characters..... but i might make one in the future now that i am reminded that that is a real thing

its like a love hate releationship but mostly hate

maybe ill reveal what happened between them in a future song or maybe not. it can also be kinda inferred from the current songs i think

the sketches are so cute!! you have such a fun and silly style and i love seeing my characters come to life :) ty

Angel's Feather (anime)

This one will be spoilery.

. . .such as it is, since the plot is a bit of a giant ???

Also kind of long? But without much reflection on the plot, because, as stated, it was a giant ???

I watched this anime (two short OVAs) with @mad-madam-m on a 'let's have fun and watch a couple of short, bonkers BL anime' night. Bonkers anime night was a definite success. XD

I actually thought this one was more likely to be good/enjoyable than the other one we watched that night (Sex Pistols; I'll eventually write a post about that one as well) but man was I wrong!

This anime is. . .

Fuck. It is very difficult to encapsulate, because it is so very batshit. As I said to M as the end credits were rolling, ‟well, that sure was an anime” and ‟that did not make sense at all, even once, even by accident”. (She laughed, but she did not disagree.)

The description I have seen for this OVA just about everywhere features the tidbit that:

A mysterious earthquake drags Hamura Shou, newly-enrolled in Yuusei Academy, and two other students, into another world, where an attack by a monster causes Shou to unfurl great, white wings.

That scene does indeed happen, but it has no bearing on the plot, it is basically a side-note very early on, before the plot actually begins. Which is not something I would have anticipated of falling into another world and fighting a monster, let alone discovering that one must be royalty of another world.

Because that is what the wings signify - The Winfield Chronicles (never defined) tells us that in the Kingdom of Winfield, the males of the royal family all have great, white wings.

(Me @ M: if all the men of the royal family have giant white wings, I am going to headcanon that the women have bat wings. There's nothing behind this, I just do. I’ve decided.)

It is a total of 1 hour long - two half-hour OVAs. However, watch it, and you will get the distinct feeling that it was supposed to be a full 13-episode anime (with a season 2 of at least the same length to follow). It lulls one into a false sense of security, as we get most of episode one . . . and then 2-10 minutes from episodes two through thirteen, at a guess.

Not ‘should have been a full anime, was rewritten to be shorter’, no no nooo, it was as though we got selected scenes from those never-existed episodes. A scene changes and you get the feeling you have missed 1-3 episodes worth of plot. With no context as to what it might have been.

Friendships and relationships appear to have developed, changed, evolved without any notice; situations happen or disappear without notice; characters appear and are treated as though they're part of the core group even though we have never seen them before.

At one point while watching this happened: he’s new, right? he’s new? red hair? we didn’t have a red hair, did we? where did red hair come from? holy shit red hair has a gun???)

That moment happened immediately after a scene change from the group in the headmaster's office being assigned to hunt down ghost rumours (no context did not make that make any more sense; they’d never been cordial with the headmaster or hunted ghosts, rumours, or mysteries) to them somewhere in a ruin (?) fighting giant werewolf things (not ghosts???).

Oh also? The headmaster? We called him Headmaster Commander Evil Bishie; his assistant was Homeroom Teacher Bad Touch Bishie. (He legitimately stuck his hand down our MC’s shirt at one point, stroking his chest/side, to pluck out his necklace/amulet, then put it back down inside his shirt and lingered, leaning close, to pet his neck.)

The headmaster’s office was the most obviously, blatantly bad guy base it could possibly be. The corridor was tiled in white and green marble, with white walls - and then there was a turn off it where the flooring is dark, with a red runner, the entire length of the short hallway was in dramatic, deep shadow, leading to very dark, looming double doors.

Our other characters included Baby Bard Bishie, The One Not-Bishie, Blue Hair A, Blue Hair B. . .

There’s implied pre-twincest featuring our MC and his long-lost brother? Only . . . not really/quite. Whether that ‘not really’ is that they’re twins or that they want to bang is up for debate. >.> (Regardless of the railing against it by one of the boys? Definitely twins. Their backstory is, of course, never explained.) They are not the pair with blue hair, incidentally.

They would definitely have started banging in S2 . . . but the one of them who vehemently denied he was adopted or could have a brother did immediately start fantasising about being kissed and petted; why are you stepping into my heart? approximately 45 seconds after their reunion *coughs* meeting.

(Also somehow despite almost everyone looking the same, the twins were the easiest to tell apart.)

There was nothing shown how our group even formed or started working together . . . or on what they were supposedly working, I guess; including two teachers (if we count the mysteriously appearing red hair, at best guess) and several students, some of whom are romantically involved, sometimes in unpredictable manners. (But not the twins. Yet.)

Sadly, that full-length anime does not exist, because M and I agreed we would, actually, watch that if it did.

(Maybe it would have had a plot . . . or more with the wings . . . or an explanation of ‘magic royalty’, or Winfield, or the parallel worlds, or what Headmaster Commander Evil Bishie and his right hand were doing, in this world or with/against our protagonists, or. . .)

. . .yeah.
