I don’t want anything, I just have homelander thoughts to share.
So I’ve been thinking about the weird stuff about HL. Granted, all of him is weird, but the uncanny valley things about him is something I love to think about. His canines are just a bit ✨too✨ long from having so much V in his system. Eyes a bit too blue; in his youth, his hair is just a shade of yellow from being unnatural. I feel like he doesn’t blink all that much, and when he’s not in performance mode, he’s too… disjointed? Like his movements might not flow into one another as much, like a puppet controlled by different operators in each joint. Or maybe they flow too well. I just have so many thoughts about it.
You're so very right. And I love everything you just said. Reminds me of this post because he stands in such an awkward way. There's always been something uncanny valley about him. But it's interesting when it's just the combination of all these normal things that in a normal human we wouldn't notice. Or at least not think it's weird.
I feel like the suit must be really awkward to walk and stand in so it's forced him to act like a puppet; just like you describe. But part of it is definitely his upbringing. When every step you make is analyzed by scientists for well over a decade, you'd too grow overly aware of the way you look and how you move.
He's good at performing his role but when he strips down to his 'undercover' outfit he looks so strange in it. Still walking as if there was a cape swishing behind him. Just his posture is very different from the norm. There's very little natural fluidity to him, one we'd only see from him when he's flying, but besides that it's all learned and performed.
Have you ever seen that husky who grew up around cats and now sits like one and plays like one? That's what Homelander reminds me of. He's just imitating what he's seen everyone else do, not truly understanding the natural flow that comes with being normal. It's not the way he was brought up so that's why it feels so disjointed.
#idk how visible this is in the show or Antony's acting#but i take this on as a fanon#he's a strange guy to meet#just like celebrities obvs it feels different to meet him but theres more to it#teeth and smile so sharp its like youre gonna get bitten if you say something wrong#i loved this ask#love your brain for this#asks!#homelander headcanons

oh hey! i was reading a fic the other day where Wangji was once misspelled as Wangu. which leads me to: MDZS Pingu-style??? noot noot!
Do you think love can bloom on the sea ice?
#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#digital art#Club penguin#ask#I've drawn a lot of strange crossovers for MDZS but this one really takes it up a notch#I saw this ask and thought “yeah why not. I've been meaning to do style studies. Let's experiment.”#And the moment my pen hit my tablet I was struck by the need to make it even worse.#Perhaps I am just nostalgic for club penguin and pengu but I think there is something magical about them holding hands.#Anyways I think younger WWX would have loved club penguin. It's the joy of the minigames and hanging out with your friends online.#Lan Wangji could never get past the fact the 'Ask your parent/guardian!' part of registration.#Either because he knew Lan Qiren would have said no *or* because he asked once and got turned down.#Lan Xichen probably was like 'Hey I can help you with that :)' to which LWJ said no because that was breaking the rules.#But if I *had* to put wangxian in a club penguin AU? Yeah 1000% it's LWJ as a mod and WWX as a notorious (nootorious) griefer.#WWX would be trying to speed run how fast he can get banned or how much he can get away with.#Getting removed and returning over and over earns him the 'necromancer of CP' title in the community. Loathed by many.#Meanwhile LWJ is about to seriously consider doxxing this guy just to get him to stop making his volunteer hobby less of a nightmare.#Cue 10 years later. They meet up on the ice flow on the last day before the servers get shut down. They have a genuine heart to heart.#Three years later on Club Penguin rewritten: two grown men decide to relive their childhood one more time.#Fate draws them to the same server.#I ask again. Do you think love can bloom on the digital sea ice?

#princetech#I think about them so much#LS sundial you are everything to me#Kings sundial I miss you but ohhh pairings where they just beat each other up a lot is so good#Zam begging minute to fight him and minute is just SO baffled#Zam is so strange and Minute can’t even begin to understand#guy that likes getting beaten up and dying meets guy that doesn’t see the point of fighting without a proper reason#I hope they kill each other More#umm if the CCs see this hi! hey! what the fuck!#sorry for homestuck reference posting#unfortunate that they understand homestuck quadrants now#watching the Old Habits Die Hard vod finally#been so busy with work I haven’t been caught up fully#Zam expecting Minute to spawn trap his bed makes me feel insane#Zam laughing during this fight too. he’s so fucked up for that#reminds me of how Starfox used to be. Zam really needs to have SOMEONE to beat him up or else he loses his mind#but he’s already lost it so who’s really winning here?#okay enough rambling in the tags#need more people to post abt them. please please ple

Thinking about the episode where Dipper and Mabel went back in time and ran into kid-Wendy, who thought Dipper was cute, and it was kind of this "wow" moment for him. Now I can't stop imagining a scenario in the familiar au where a married, up-and-coming demon hunter Dipper Pines, along with Bill, have to go back in time for whatever reason to about when he was 12. He figures they should keep a low profile if they want to return to their timeline unchanged, but they end up bumping into Dipper's younger self, back when he was first dropped off and all noodle armed and couldn't really defend himself against the town bullies. Almost as if on cue, a group of kids come up on young Dipper and try to pick on him, only for adult Dipper to ward them away. Older Dipper still considering himself kind of a massive loser with a lot to learn, but his younger self just looks at this strange new-comer and thinks he's SO COOL🤩🤩🤩!!! And maybe follows him around a bit in admiration, silently saying stuff about wishing he were "that strong," or "that smart," or "ever a little cool." And Dipper has that same "wow" moment, but for an entirely different reason. Maybe he did grow up to be everything he wanted to be as a kid, and maybe even the kid version of him wasn't a loser to begin with; people were just serious jerks.
(Bonus points if Stan definitely knows who this flame-wielding stranger that just blew into town is, and seeing how Dipper's grown and matured puts him at ease and makes him more confident that maybe he can raise the twins on his own. Look at the kid go. He did something right.)
Anon, why must you tempt me with new ideas when I have so many WIPs
#answers#I have THOUGHTS about this#Many of them#But I'll keep them to myself in case I decide to do a thing#The Stan part especially is intriguing with possibilities#Dipper meeting his grunkle and thinking he's doing a great job of being a Mysterious Stranger#While absolutely not managing it at all#Either that or absolutely managing it right up until he doesn't#Double fun if Ford is around to investigate this 'strange temporal phenomena' while Dipper foils his attempts to get anything done#So as not to completely mess up their timeline#If there's one thing I love it's a skewed perspective#And DIpper thinking 'oh god oh fuck oh god I'm messing all of this up aaaaah' the whole time#While simultaneously saving the town/his younger self/running circles around Ford and generally being A Cool Guy#Is always a delight

Regis' reaction to learning that he has a sister young enough to pass for his own daughter was definitely Something. Nobody expected him to know that many curse-words, that's for sure.
Regis stared at the tiny slip of a girl sitting across from him. All bony wrists and elbows and knees, wild hair and large eyes that stared back at him with a distrustful glint that made Regis's heart squeeze in anger and pity.
They sat in a pub, at a table tucked as far out of the way as possible, but still they could not escape the curious glances of the Galahkari in the room. Regis dearly wished they could do this in a more private seeting, but his sister had clearly not been getting enough to eat. The man sitting beside her, staring at him like he was about to murder him if he made one wrong move, also did not help.
Despite the ambient noises of the pub, the silence had settled heavy and uncomfortable between them.
His sister clutched at a steaming bowl of some kind of thick stew, waiting for it to cool a bit after the first bite had burned her tongue.
"Now," the man said, deep voice cutting though the air like a claimore. Still, Regis could not look away from his sister. "What do you Lucians want with the girl?"
The man had a thick accent, much like everybody on the islands who spoke Lucian, though he was more understandable than most others.
"And who is asking that?" Clarus demanded, matching the man's agressive tone of voice.
"Kapil, Head of Clan Ostium. I ask again: What do you want with one of our children, a Clanless one at that?"
Regis tore his eyes away to look at the man. "I am looking for a missing relative, my Lord," he said with a polite tilt of his head.
A disgusted snort was his answer. "Cut that shit out. There are no lords here. Why would someone like you look for a relative here of all places?"
He did not want to do this, but Regis knew he wouldn't get anywhere otherwise. At least someone was looking out for his sister, even if only to protect her from suspicious strangers. Never in his life had Regis been treated like a suspicious stranger. So he reached into his coat pocket, slowly under the sharp eyes of the adult Galahkar in front of him, and pulled out a folded paper. It was a copy of his sister's birth certificate, stamped and notarized.
Kapil snatched up the paper as soon as it touched the table between them and opened it. Few moments later the man paled at a rapid pace.
Beside him, the small girl took a bit from her stew with an audible slurp.
#ask#raven-6-10#ffxv#child of mors au#mors daughter!crowe#regis lucis caelum#crowe altius#kapil ostium#no curse words here#sadly#reading your ask this popped into my head#the second meeting between crowe and regis#kapil is libertus's grandfather#he's protective of kids#especially those who get talked to by strange people#regis isn't even mad about this#he's just glad at least someone is looking out for his sister#crowe is just here for the food#and because her magic is doing weird things when close to the weird guy#geist answers

*FONTAINE SPOILERS*
Y'all laugh at the fact that Tartaglia randomly falling into the Abyss one day as a kid ended up being the catalyst for Fontaine's eventual predicted destruction but all this means is that from the start Tartaglia was intended to fall into the Abyss and become a Harbinger and thus has always been doomed by the narrative
#genshin impact#childe#tartaglia#kind of helps line up his story i think#gives it more purpose than just “he fell in a hole by accident and that hole happened to be the frickin pits of the underworld”#doomed to fall into the abyss and wake up the whale. doomed to be trained by skirk and become a harbinger and eventually meet the traveler#DO YOU SEE WHERE I'M GOING WITH THIS#i'm honestly so so curious if they're gonna have him start to doubt his values eventually#i am desperately hoping he has a moment where he has to choose when we inevitably fight the tsaritsa#AND HECK I HOPE HE STICKS WITH US#i really don't want my boy to be SO doomed by the narrative that he frickin DIES >:(#people say he has a lot of death flags and that's kind of true but i think he's safe since he's a playable character#i know playability is totally different from the canon versions of the characters but still#it'd be quite strange to play as a dead guy who doesn't exist anymore and has no further value to the story#can't believe i'm gonna have to wait two frickin years for snezhnaya. unfair#anyway who's excited for the interlude chapter and the inevitable dainsleif comebaaaack

i feel rly sad and conflicted abt one of my best friends on earth but idk who to ask for advice bc i usually would have consulted her in this situation lmao
#shes cool and i dont want to lose her and i know Logically i love her but atm i feel so strange towards her#and idk what to do abt it bc i know in the past ive like...over-communicated a lot and over the last few yrs ive been trying to not do that#bc thats an anxious impulse i think .so like . self control#AND IMPORTANTLY . i may actually be the problem here ?? ok again i love her i dont want to lose her etc but basically ive noticed a pattern#which is that whenever she gets a bf/a man (even fwb) in her life she basically stops talking to me and the limited interactions we do have#become abt him. and while i support her it is acc too much. like we barely talked while she was w her ex bf until he became abusive and#then we talked a lottt like all our convos understandably were abt him . and then when they broke up we kept hanging out so i didnt rly see#the pattern there but still she seemed to centre men a lot in her life like sbe was excited to not date and find herself and then#immediately afterwards started seeing this other guy with whom shes basically in a relationship now#hes nice and all but like . HES ALL SHE TALKS ABT . actually we barely talk atp but when we do its abt him#she sends me reels sometimes but its all abt being jealous abt him etc . and shes bi but she said she doesnt like the idea of dating women#bc theyre scary . and i thought she was kidding in the ohhh women r so beautiful that theyre intimidating way but no she was being entirely#fr . she explained jts bc she was bullied by a girl in the past but like...bro ur ex bf literally abused you like surely you see men are#capable of just as much harm? but obvs who she dates is her own choice . but anyway she has consistently made plans w me then cancelled the#like an hr before . or asked to call me and then proceeded to not do so . when i ask her to meet/call its the same she just doesnt respond#or she cancels ? and while i understand anxiety sucks it feels SO WEIRD STILL . maybe im the problem slightly too bc ik i have no right to#feel this way but it rubs me the wrong way that ik she has so much time to spend w him/calls him all the time despite meeting him just a fe#months ago whereas i just have to like ...be ok w not actually having talked to her for a long time#its gotten to the point where when she says do you wanna meet/call i automatically respond yes and then just assume it doesnt happen . like#there have been several times over the past few months i double booked plans over when we were supposed to call/meet bc i was sure she#wouldnt show up and ive been right each time#like she sends me texts that she misses me or im her best friend etc etc occasionally and then acts rly . contrary to that ?#ive talked to her abt the issue w cancelling on me twice btw. when i was still dating the situationship person she would get sooo mad at#them for not respecting my time and shed tell me i deserve better etc etc and then like . she doesnt seem to respect my time at all#anyway she said she understand and she admits to like...being flaky etc but does nothing abt it#and its not like i can tell her to stop caring so much abt men bc we sorta had convos like that b4 she got This involved w this guy#and apparently it did nothing and the last thing i want is to police her relationships or get in her way#its just AUSHD AUGH#anyway i rly miss her it just doesnt feel the same at all anymore

some lore. this may all change lol im still figuring stuff out but this is the general gist
#read my incoherent ramblings boy#my art#vld wc au#vld#kuron vld#so sorry for trashing the tags w my stupid au if this is annoying pls lmk and ill stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#anyway. meet this au's lotor! hes honervas accomplice whos helping her get away with shit (and trying to dissuade allura from#investigating why local strays have been acting strange and disappearing)#'haha i love kuron i love this guy:)' i proceed to make him a whiny selfish asshole<3#he DOES switch sides at some point but its not bc hes disgusted with honervas experiments or anything#but bc she abandons him/loses interest in him when he stops being useful#so its for a very selfish reason! but later over time he starts realising that hmm maybe being a total asshole isnt Worth It after all

I’m surprised that no one has made a Marvel x Rottmnt crossover where Dr. Strange becomes Mikey’s teacher to train his magic after the movie
I mean y’all saw what Mikey’s portal shit done to him in the final act, he ain’t going to drawing for a while—he could totally parallel that whole ‘traded his craft for magic’ stuff Dr. Strange did
And the personality foil! C’mon folks the fanfics and oneshots are practically writing themselves
#am I the only one who sees this?#it would be awesome#Mikey: okay guys I gotta go Teach is waiting for me#Leo: you know Mikey we really would like to meet this guy one day#Mikey causally: sorry bros but he doesn’t have time for stuff like that he’s too busy being the Sorcerer Supreme#the brothers: YOUR TEACHER IS WHAT—#anyways I think it would just be funny#also the other avengers meeting up with Strange—#Iron Man: You know Magic Man I would really appreciate your help right now—#Dr. Strange: not right now stark I’m busing training my apprentice#Tony: Your apprentice—*sees Mikey*WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!#Dr. Strange also casually: this is Mikey#Tony weakly: The-the turtle has a name?#rottmnt#rise tmnt#marvel#mcu#crossover#dr strange#rottmnt mikey#rise mikey

#okay i promise i'm going to get off tumblr and actually get something decent done#but i just have to mention that i started reading 'thief liar lady'#the cinderella retelling where she's pulling a con#which i did not have high expectations for because that concept screams 'we're going to prove how dumb the original cinderella story is'#so i have to give it credit that so far it's pleasantly surprising me by pulling back every time it's about to do something stupid#within the first page or two we have 'they say the slippers were glass and the carriage was made of a pumpkin which is so dumb'#which seems like standard cinderella bashing but it's also framed as an explanation of the magic system#as in 'this is a waste of magic based on the rules' not 'this story is stupid and my 'real' one is better' so i can live with it#we have the enemy prince she's trying to con but he's not a dumb strawman royal#he's actually a sweet guy and a shrewd diplomat#all the royals are actually getting credit for talents as well as flaws#no strawmen in sight (i still shudder to remember 'just ella')#it feels like real politics#and there is *so much* politics and i am eating it up#(which makes me realize that one of the reasons i love cinderella retellings is that there's a lot of potential for politics)#we did have a scene where she goes into the throne room and meets a strange disheveled nobleman lounging on the throne#which made me roll my eyes because you could not have had a more obvious 'meeting the ya love interest' scene#but then there's a scene where she's like 'i don't care about embroidery'#and i internally groaned#but then she's like 'but i do like the embroidery circle because it's relaxing to be away from the men for a while'#so to my delight i could cancel the 'not like other girls' alert#the queen is feminine and her social skills are presented as a vital political skill#the swearing is really stupid and out of place and brings the book down#and i know that there'll most likely be something that makes me stop reading it before the 25% mark#but i do want to give the book credit for pleasantly surprising me#i'm liking it more than i otherwise would because of all the ways i was expecting it to disappoint me

unexpectedly had a series of wholesome ovw comp matches where i gained four random friends on my list and the entire time on a 4-3 payload win we both kept complimenting each other on either side. had someone literally say ‘wow don’t usually get along this well’. it was genuinely adorable. awful experience somehow mitigated by the power of friendship.
#ooc. o kaptain.#ooc. kat overs the watch.#[adorable new Lucio buddy. all round we both kept going ‘yall are good’ and ‘you too’ and ‘PINK MERCY’. genuinely so wholesome. had a guy in#an earlier round who I switched to pharah to counter and in another match he goes ‘we meet again….’ in team chat. dying genuinely. that was#so strangely adorable.]
