#he's gay petra origin

[twopoppies]

Gina I'm so sorry this is probably a stupid question but I've been in the fandom for about 3 years now and I've always been too scared to ask... your "he's gay petra" tag... who is petra? English isn't my first language, is it slang like "karen" or is it an actual person? 🙈

LOL! No. But I love that. It's not stupid at all. I get this question occasionally.

here's your answer. LMK if you need more explanation!

[mothstache]

MINECRAFT STORY MODE HEADCANONS: Part 1

Jesse: 

Jesse idolized the Old Order especially when he was younger. The reveal of the truth by Soren arguably hit the hardest for him.

He found Reuben as a piglet passing by an abandoned farm on his way to town.

He’s always been the most levelheaded member of the group, however if pushed to his limit he can get outwardly aggressive. He feels very guilty about it afterwards.

After the events of Season 2, he stays a few more weeks in Beacontown before leaving to adventure with Petra.

Jesse and Olivia have been friends since childhood.

Jesse was the one to find Axel when they were teens after catching him fleeing a raid.

He’s genderfluid (he/she) and bisexual (slight preference for men).

He’ll grow his hair out pretty long before cutting it really short again.

After Season 2, he gains a phobia of being misunderstood whether through tone or action, due to the Admin mimicking his identity.

He has PTSD from the events of the Wither Storm, though he rarely talks about that period.

While he is super close with everyone in the new Order, he and Olivia can read each other like a book having known each other so long.

After Reuben’s death, Jesse fell into a silent depression for a while and would still leave out food and water for Reuben despite knowing he was no longer with him.

Ellegaard’s death hit horribly hard for him, being what truly shook him to the core for the first time since the creation of the Wither Storm.

Has feelings for everyone in the new Order (especially Lukas).

Was mentored in potion brewing by Ivor for a while.

Olivia:

Olivia’s love of engineering partly came from a few old redstone books passed down to her from her aunt. The title of the author has long since faded, but the books were written long ago by Harper.

She met Jesse when they were kids, having grown up in the same childhood town.

She has anxiety and ADHD.

After Season 1 she developed an even closer bond with Axel, as the two would see the most of each other despite the group going their separate ways.

Ellegaard was her idol since she was a young teen. Her death is something she’ll never get out of her mind.

She has fascination with Endermen (as well as the End dimension in general)

Post-Season 2, she’s one of the top redstone experts in the land.

She has an intense phobia of phantoms.

Olivia had a pet dog as a kid named Yarrow, she and Jesse would play fetch with him for hours on end.

Nell is her best friend outside the new Order.

She is a lesbian and holds romantic feelings for Petra.

She also holds queerplatonic feelings for Jesse, Lukas and Axel.

She’s an amazing cook despite not doing it often anymore.

Olivia and Lukas will sometimes spend hours on end reading history books and documents together.

Lukas: 

Lukas was raised by his grandfather who was a historian, which later would become an interest of his.

Lukas has catfolk blood. The team name Ocelots isn’t just a random thing he chose - it’s unclear if Aiden, Maya and Gill ever knew about its origins.

He’s the best navigator in jungles, and an expert navigator in general with Axel.

He and Petra have been close friends for a long time, since Petra even met Jesse, Olivia and Axel.

Lukas is a bit of a people pleaser, which is how he ended up with friends like Aiden, Maya and Gill. It’s also why he wasn’t good about chastising his friends for their jerkish behavior.

He has Autism and finds himself masking a lot.

He once made a jacket for Olivia with an endermen face embedded into the back, similar to his old ocelot jacket.

He’s a trans man (he/him) and gay.

Holds feelings for Jesse and Axel, and is queerplatonic with Olivia and Petra.

Seeing Petra’s deterioration with their wither sickness was really hard for him. They were always one of the strongest people he knew so seeing them become weaker and weaker terrified him.

He’s good friends with Stacy and Stampy, and the both of them were the first he recruited for the new Ocelots.

He tamed his ocelot Dewey shortly after Season 1.

Axel:

Axel is 15% hisskin. Some of the ways it shows itself physically are the green scales on his neck and shoulders, and him constantly smelling a bit like gunpowder. In addition, if he grows intensely angry or excited, sparks may literally fly out of his mouth when he talks.

Axel considers Jesse his first “real” friend. Prior to their meeting, Axel was part of a gang of thieves who would often leave him to fend for himself, whether because they were meanspirited or neglectful to the youngest of the group or both. When he first befriended Jesse, he was even more temperamental and stubborn, and very quick to do things his own way by habit. Being with Jesse and Olivia helped him to become more trusting and levelheaded, though he retained a lot of his rogue ways.

He has slight thalassophobia that he’s working on.

He has ADHD and BPD.

Axel was initially afraid Lukas would replace him in the friend group. He hated him for how rapidly close he was becoming with Jesse and Olivia, and deep down saw him as a smarter, more logical replacement to him.

VERY good with maps, plus he has a natural sense of direction, especially in caves.

He’s nonbinary (he/they) and pansexual.

Has buried romantic feelings for Jesse and Olivia, along with Petra and Lukas.

Magnus treats him a lot like a little brother, the two love to spar a lot.

After Reuben’s death, he often would try to comfort Jesse to no avail, this caused him an unusual amount of anxiety and grief for both Jesse and his lost pet.

Post-Season 2, he has a more spiked hairstyle and wears a creeper bandana.

Post-Season 2 he tries whenever he can to make time for the old gang to meet up.

He has a pet bat named Batsy. (Yes, this is from the scrapped canon idea)

Petra:

Petra has always adventuring in their blood, having been on the move from place to place since they were a kid.

Petra holds a ton of knowledge about surviving alone in the nether, from experience! As a younger adult their portal once got broken, and they had to spend a few days on her own in the nether till they came across another adventurer who helped them escape.

Despite having never stayed in one place long, they’re naturally extremely loyal to all of their friends. They don’t take losing friendships well.

Enduring the wither sickness took all their might and they can only pray they never have to experience that ever again.

Jack was their first ever idol when they were young. When they heard he was moving to Beacontown they were excitedly rambling to Jesse for DAYS.

They’re transmasc (they/them) and a lesbian.

They have romantic feelings for Olivia, and have queerplatonic crushes on Jesse, Lukas and Axel.

Petra and Axel have occasionally gone out on solo missions, usually for reckless reasons. They come back with tattered clothes and burn marks, but a ton of treasure each.

Petra has Autism and psychosis.

They have asthma, which made the wither sickness even harder on them.

They are stubborn and hate giving up in any situation, viewing it as a personal failure.

“Relax, my darling,” Erwin’s voice travels up his body in prickling waves. “Let me take care of you.” Erwin does take care of him. He’s given him more than he ever could have wanted in the years they’ve known each other. Erwin makes him feel loved. The voices are silent when Erwin leaves after a light breakfast. They know what they’ve done, Levi can feel their malicious grins plastered up the length of his spine. Deep rooted sentiment and fervor have ensnarled themselves in the gaps between his ribs. Blooms of white Carnations, Wisteria, and Tulips have pierced his lungs and the thorns of roses have nested themselves in his heart. Sprouts of undying love have planted themselves so deeply within him, that he doesn’t even know where to begin in digging them out — can’t imagine plucking them free without removing a vital part of himself with them.

So, I may have gone off the deep end this time. Kind of wrote my first Dead-Dove fic. And it kind of possessed me for nearly two weeks while I wrote all 90 pages of it.

Anyways. It's a lot. The tags are a bit spoiler-y, but I do recommend looking at them before reading this.

I also recommend pouring yourself a glass (or bottle) of wine while you read this one.

Enjoy!!

Summary:

The gravity of the whole conversation strikes Levi then. It weighs him down with vulnerability and emotions he’s not equipped to handle. Erwin’s offering him something he’s never held before, something he doesn’t know that Erwin’s ever even offered before.

“Okay..” Levi settles back into sheets. He lets Erwin peel their clothes off, one article at a time, and then rolls onto his side. Erwin pulls him in for another kiss.

It’s easy, like this, for Levi to relax. The voices have retreated to a hushed corner in his mind, leaving him to bask in Erwin’s attention, uninterrupted. Erwin’s kisses are serene, with little flicks of his tongue and docile fingers tracing the slope of his spine. Tension seeps from Levi’s muscles, he feels unbound — malleable. Everything is saccharine, as though he’s been dipped in golden honey with the way Erwin devours him in the most tender way possible. He has to hold onto Erwin, twist his fingers in pale blonde locks and grip sun-kissed skin. If he could, he’d carve both of them open, pry both of them apart at the seams, just to stitch them back together with a curved needle and silken thread.

Higher that the Stars primarch names

Realizing I never posted these on tumblr

The Lion- The Lioness (obvious, been trying to thing of a way to replace the Lionel Johnson joke with a Virginia/virgin joke for Virginia wolf but I can't quite get it to click)

Fulgrim- Electra (switching the "fulgur" pun to electric. not an electra complex joke i SWEAR)

Perterabo- Petra (Phonetic similarity, feminine form of Peter and is therefore based on the Greek for rock)

Jaghatai Khan- Alakhai Khan (named after one of Genghis Khan's daughters)

Leman- Ylva Russ (literally just a Swedish name meaning she-wolf)

Rogal Dorn - Rhiannon Dorn (Means great queen, is a welsh name when Dorn is derived from fist in a bunch of Celtic languages)

Konrad Curze- Megara Curze (named after one of the Furies. I kind of prefer the mouthfeel of Alecto as a name but if I named a character in this Alecto I think it would cause some sort of minor reality breaking paradox)

Sanguinius- Sanguinia (Quickly feminizing the fake Latin)

Ferrus Manus- Ferra Manus (^ ditto)

Angron- Angharad (Started as Phonetic similarity, but I think the fact that Angharad means "much loved one" adds a nice nasty kick of irony)

Roboute Guilliman- Augusta Guilliman (Augusta is a Roman title for empresses, this one is hard because the guy who named Roboute Guilliman has admitted he has 0 idea what the name's supposed to mean)

Mortarion- No change, I made it so the Overlords don't do gendered names

Magnus the Red- Magdalene the Red (Phonetic similarity I got super attached to)

Horus Lupercal- Ishtar Lupercal (Ancient Bablylonian goddess of love and war, which I think gets across the vibes of this au's imperium well)

Lorgar Aurelian- Sophia Aurelian (Named after the Gnostic emanation of knowledge, who is deeply connected to gnostic conceptions of original sin and redemption)

Vulkan- Vesta (Going from the Roman god of smithies to the Roman Goddess of the hearth)

Corvus Corax- Corvida Corax (Corvidae, modified a tiny bit to make it less obviously just a genus name)

Alpharius Omegon- Alpharia Omege (Same feminizing of fake Latin. Omege is pronounced like O-may-gay)

[polarized-here]

Hear me out, a mcsm au where Lukas is a vampire, and Jesse is a monster hunter, but when getting the job he didn’t read the job description and thought monster hunter, was like, ‘hunt down monster friends’

Lukas originally thought Jesse was going to kill him, hearing a monster hunter with a high rank was after him. That is, until he just sees a little silly guy at his doorstep asking for refuge from the storm

He looks like a sompy wet cat so Lukas takes him and his friends, hesitantly, instant change in demeanor seeing how silly they all are. Little goofy guys who just needed a place to stay for the storm.

They move. A lot, always moving from place to place, so Lukas wants them to stay at his little castle home thing… Lukas learns to live a little, being a little coddled vampire that never rlly got to explore or do much as a kid. Compared to Jesse,,, who had no parents 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️

Other sick mentions

Lukas likes drinking tomato Juice, he calls it his Vegan alternative,

he’ll still drink human blood ofc, gotta keep the human population stable, keystone species job and all of that /j

Jesse is a Phoenix hybird (y’all know me and my obsession with pheonix au’s 😔🤞) that hides most of his traits, this is why he joined in the first place, he wanted friends :(

he gets friends in the form of Axel who’s an elf, Olivia who’s also a Sphinx, Petra as a Pegasus, Aiden who is a vampire, Maya as a Harpy, and Gill was a werewolf

No Jesse has not mentioned the fact he is a Phoenix to any of his friends 🧍‍♂️ he forgor 💀

Jesse has not killed anyone, he would never kill (unless Lukas or any of his friends asked him too—) But yeah he would never kill and never has, he’s too good for this world 😔

Jesse loves having his friends with him, they don’t know he’s a Phoenix, and he doesn’t plan to tell them, it’s been years 😭 and he just forgor, please man he’s so stupid

His main reason for taking the job though was because he had a super big crush on Lukas, who was being chased by monster hunters 😔😔 the things he would do for Lukas bruh

Jesse loves stories, books, literally almost any sort of academic style thing he enjoys. He’s such a little scholarly boy 🫶🫶🫶 he’s so silly and goofy. Lukas loves listening to him ramble and vise-versa

Their so gay Ong I love gay people 🫶

[thetavolution]

It's time for Ingrid's brother! Finally!

SEBASTIAN

Full name:  Sebastian Thomas Sullenberger Name meaning:  Sebastian: venerable or revered; Thomas: twin; Sullenberger: habitation name for people from Sollenberg or Schallenberg Nicknames: Seb, Bastian, and Bash Pronouns: He/Him  Race: Half Deep Gnome and Half Forest Gnome Age: 25  Orientation: Gay Romance: Undecided Class: Wizard (Ideally would be an Artificer) Subclass: Transmutation Origin: Sage Theme Song: Failsafe — The Choir Practice / This Year — The Mountain Goats / Always Tired — Weathers / Money Issues — Chase Petra

Personality Sebastian shares his sister Ingrid’s anxiety and, like her, he’s just as determined to overcome it. He’s the type to go above and beyond to protect people and the things he cares about. Rules and regulations help ease his anxieties, but it doesn’t mean he’s unwavering fool. He knows situations and people can be nuanced. 

He has mastered the art of weaponizing rules and laws to help navigate sticky situations. There are even some magistrates that don’t challenge his knowledge of the law. It’s not that he thinks laws are inherently good. He just really loves structure and consistency. He can also sniff out a loophole like a bloodhound. It can make him a little uptight, but he’s so nice about it that people tend to forgive him. He’s thoughtful, gentle, and extremely organized. 

When it comes to other people’s problems, he has an easier time being level-headed and doling out sage advice. He can sometimes be something of a therapist to the people around him. He prefers to talk things out when possible rather than fight. He’s a perfectionist which can lead to procrastination or even a mental breakdown. His perfectionism can make him insufferable. He has a dry sense of humor that can be overlooked, especially if people aren’t expecting it.

As an adventurer, it’s not unusual for him to come across a town or settlement, solve everyone’s problems, and leave immediately. It gives him an air of mystery when, in reality, he’s just reserved and hates being perceived. He leaves after finishing his duties because he doesn’t want to have to talk to anybody or give any speeches.

He almost never raises his voice, even when incredibly angry. If he ever does, it’s terrifying. As Patrick Rothfuss said, “There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night without a moon, and the anger of a gentle man.”

Background He’s Ingrid’s younger half-brother. Sebastian was born in the Underdark in Silverdale, a small deep gnome settlement. His father, Sully, married his mother, Anna, a forest gnome after divorcing Ingrid’s mother, Greta. He never totally fit in with the other deep gnomes when growing up due to looking like a forest gnome. His deep gnome heritage isn’t obvious. Well-meaning travelers have asked him why he wasn’t down in the Underdark more times than he cares to remember. 

Sebastian never really got on with his parents. His mother, Anna, was preoccupied with her husband. She was terrified Sully would go back to his ex-wife, Greta. Anna would pit Sebastian and his half-sister against each other, and Anna often took her anger out on Ingrid. Sebastian was the golden child and he hated every moment of it. He just wanted to know his big sister.

Through it all, Sebastian loved and admired his sister. He was devastated the day Ingrid left home to travel the world, but he never blamed her for her choice. Inspired by Ingrid, he chose to leave the Underdark as well. He now wanders Faerûn as an adventurer. He hopes to one-day reunite with Ingrid and have the brother-sister relationship that was stolen from them.

Likes: Ingrid, magic, studying magic and potions, potions, adventuring, rules and regulations, tinkering with things, attending plays, reading, music, history, and taller guys (which are most guys who aren’t gnomes let’s be fucking real)

Dislikes: His parents, public speaking, loneliness, not knowing how to really socialize, mouth noises, small talk, chaos, disorganization, and strong sunlight

Fears: Life is scary enough, but that’s why he hides behind rules and laws. It gives him structure that his brain craves to mitigate the fear of being alive. He’s terrified of a lack of structure which makes being an adventurer tough. (It does mean he does great around paladins.) He also has acrophobia. He can’t really stand near the edge when he’s up high.

Quirks:  He generally avoids eye contact with most people. Whenever he’s thinking about something for a long time, he stares off into space. When he gets nervous, he wrings his hands a lot.

Mental Health:  The Sullenberger kids are all messed up. His need for rules and regulations comes from a lack of structure as a kid. He struggles with self-worth. His mother often pitted him against his sister and being the golden child really took its toll on him. Despite being the “perfect child,” Anna also didn’t hesitate to criticize him. As a kid, he followed rules out of fear he would lose favor with his parents, too. 

He isn’t great at relationships. He treats people well, he just sucks at keeping in touch. He also assumes people hate him so he tries not to bother everyone. People sometimes mistake this for disinterest on his part, or they assume he’s the one who doesn’t like them. People see him as a loner and, to some extent his is. But also he’s genuinely very lonely and wishes he was better at connecting. 

He pushes people away as a self-defense mechanism. He assumes they’ll reject him so he might as well distance himself.

Favorite Foods: Harvest Stew, Leek Bread, Calimshan Knots, Poppyseed Cake, and Deep Rothé Steak

Favorite Drinks: Earth Dragon's Eye Tea, Fire Lichen Liquor, and Rockgrit

Favorite Flower: Tulips

Height:  4’9” / 144.78 cm

Skin: Bronze

Hair:  Light Blue

Eyes:  Hazel

Color Scheme:  He generally wears a lot of purples and greens. 

Fashion Sense: He is a simple man who doesn’t really worry about clothing. He just wears what is most practical. I would argue this man needs someone to dress him so he can look nice for a change.

He carries a belief that he doesn’t deserve to dress nice, which is why he keeps it so simple.

Family: 

Calvin “Sully” Sullenberger  Sully is the head of the household. He secretly likes having Anna and Greta fight over him, ignoring the damage it has done to his children. He’s friendly and boisterous, but selfish. He’s an Ironhand Gnome, although he’s not as dedicated to the cause as others. He’s there for selfish reasons.

Greta Bloodstone  She’s Ingrid’s mother. She’s a lot like Ingrid, but even more docile than her daughter. She doesn’t stand up to Sully or Anna as often as she should. Ingrid fears she may be too much like her mother.

Anna Sullenberger She's Sully's second wife who terrorizes Greta and Ingrid. As horrible as she is to everyone, she's convinced she's the real victim in all of this. She's needy and loves being the center of attention.

Ingrid Sullenberger She’s his older half-sister. They aren’t close, but he hopes they will be someday.

[mahoushoujotechsupport]

ok episode 10 time. i ended up only putting together the head and body of the mk-ii earlier

starting off with sarius trying to bring up aerial again to the benerit group to try and get some punishment in but rajan is like lol nope.

given how we later see prospera and delling together at the end of this ep, i figure its a pretty good assumption that some time between grassley duel and now (its 2 months from what shaddiq says later), delling bring prospera on for quiet zero and he likely also help front aerial's repairs

also man vim is a fucking idiot lol. i totally forgot he says this to sarius. and then iirc all we get once we're in cour 2 is peil bringing up that jeturk suits were used at plant quetta which like yea lmao he can't be like oh btw i knew about it all beforehand

oh this little lovestruck tanuki

knowing endgame miorine, what are the chances that little lesbian was keeping count like this too

i'm glad suletta no longer sees relationships as transactional but lmao this little gay baby. just ecstatic to be of use to miorine and tend to the greenhouse while shes away

honestly cool as hell that they got this prototype all set in the last two months - likely mostly nika and belmeria's work. i have a dumb headcanon that gund-arm probably didn't really get to do much R&D in the 3 year time skip because of all the loose ends miorine's probably been dealing with from the benerit group, on top of taking care of suletta, taking care of her mother-in-law and then nika's in fucking jail lol. even then, since it's likely ojelo and nuno were the ones doing most of the work (maybe belmeria still helping?), it's still neat that they have prosthetics about to start testing rounds with petra. yeah i wrote all this just to say wow nika's so smart

this scene is so ridiculously heartwarming lol she's such a little dweeb

who knew these stupid things would become such an integral part of the story lol

also, i'm glad we didnt get the secret message inside cool-san thing everyone kept theorizing about after the break up. that just wouldnt have made any sense with what miorine was trying to do lol

gosh its so nice to be rewatching this and just KNOW somewhere within those 2 months suletta and miorine's relationship just became normalized to the earth house kids and we just see it over and over in this episode

like when has nika referred to suletta as hanamuko-san lol and she does so immediately after our tanuki is gushing about giving miorine the ugly ass keychain lol

oh yeah, shes thinking of her tanuki

in retrospect this was kind of insanely naive of miorine, wasnt it? shes lucky feng jun and guston weren't onboard with what the rest of the SAL was cooking up

lol at this "stick to your duels". my dude you literally fund proxy wars on earth. you have no moral ground to stand on

lol this episode really is so good at setting up for episode 11. just look at her happy little faces each and every single time she's felt useful

oh the fucking bracelet 😭

weird to think shaddiq's plan works out in the end and plot convenience keeps delling alive, but it pretty much ends up as his plan of trying to obtain majority shares

i hope they've just been teasing her for 2+ weeks miorine's been gone and possibly even before then

iconic tanuki shot

platonically, of course. as gal pals.

actually i think of note in this scene with elan and him planting doubt in suletta's brain is whether what he says is true or he's just making shit up as part of doubt sowing. but he's basically implying that miorine has been acting in such a way that everyone at school is talking about it and they can't believe how different she's being. and part of that is certainly true given what shaddiq's said numerous times over the last few episodes

lol this will always remain such an excellent take on the misunderstanding trope

oh yea and don't forget mom and dad

almost forgot there's a post-credits scene on this ep. i wonder what his original plan to break up the group was before the delling assassination plan fell in his lap

also imaging living in a world where BOBBU became a class traitor and actually learned from his experiences..... yea right lmfao

ok definitely not finishing the 1st cour because it's taken me forever to watch this one episode. gonna see how many episode i knock out over the weekend

[destinyc1020]

Season 2 of Euphoria had higher critics ratings than S1 and got more awards. Anon may not have liked it, but those are the facts. Petra mentioned that it was HBO that told her that they considered her too young to direct. And just as a reminder, Sam did not direct the pilot and first episode of Euphoria (elements of the pilot were reshoot particularly Algee Smith's scenes since he joined when the original actor dropped out because he was uncomfortable with some gay scenes in future episodes). The director for the first episode was Augustine Frizzell. Also Euphoria was based on a series of the same name from Israel which was shot years before Petra started working and also had a dreamy cinematography. The creators of that series are to this day still Executive Producers of the American one. HBO has done this before. They fired Andrea Arnold as director of the second season of Big Little Lies. I think that it's easy to blame everything on Sam Levinson when the ones that control what gets made is HBO which is where the money comes from

Thanks Anon, for providing more facts to this situation.

I gotta say....I don't think I knew the show Euphoria was based off of a show from Israel with the same name. 😳 Or, if I knew that at one time, then I certainly forgot that little bit of info!

Why on earth then did Sam make it seem like his inspiration for the show was his drug use past? 🥴

Or, is he basically saying his inspiration for the character of Rue was basically due to his OWN story? 🤔

Notes

[1] Examples of pilots for shows that were rejected include: Constant Payne, The Modifyers, Diggs Tailwagger, Lehold, Carmen Got Expelled, Jo Minkus, Monsters Abroad, Thom Cat, Werebeast, Magic Children Doing Things, Dungeon Crawlers, IRL Squad, Camp W, and Trick Moon. Pilots of Adventure Bodies (2012), Vileville (2013), Audience! (2014), C Students (2014) (as it was discontinued in 2015 and he discontinued the channel in 2018), Showside (2015), Urbance (2016), Obituary (2016) (after this, all other stories continued in webcomic form), Becky Prim (2016), Film Quest (2016), Rock and Riot (2016) (student film based on webcomic of same name), Bamboo Garden (2017), Salt Kidz (2018), Cliffside (2018) (announced in 2020 it will not be continued), Starship Goldfish (2018) (very slim chance), Bird Town News (2018), SpaceWorld (2019), and Wings of Fire (2020) (cancelled for unstated reasons) will likely not be turned into animated series.

Belle & Tina are Time Travelers had a pilot in 2016, but it may be coming back as hinted in a video clip in April 2020. The same may be the case with Impotents as the pilot premiered in 2016, but the official website lists six episodes, although none are online. On the other hand, the company producing the series last posted tweets in 2016 and the Kickstarter ended the same year. Song of the Sky, the pilot of which premiered in 2018, may be turning into an animated series, according to posts on Patreon.

[2] It is likely that Sechrist’s “How to School,” for those interested in animation, drawing, and the like, will undoubtedly help animators either pitch their own shows, or move into the indie animation space.

[3] In Helluva Boss, Blitzo is pansexual, Moxxie is bisexual, Stolas is gay or bisexual, and Sallie May is a trans woman, while in Hazbin Hotel, Alastor is asexual, Angel Dust is gay, Charlie Magne is bisexual, and Vaggie is a lesbian. In S.A.L.E.M., Salem is a non-binary and pansexual character, Oliver is gay, and Petra is asexual. In Rain, Rain Flaherty is a trans girl, Fara Bryer is bisexual, Maria Stongwell is lesbian, Rudy Strongwell is gay, Emily Caston is pansexual, Vincent Valverde is a trans man, and Jessica Li is a trans woman. In Dirt: The Series, Claire and Ally are a lesbian couple.

In September 2020, Medrano supported two male characters in the animated ZooPhobia short, “Bad Luck Jack,” being shipped together. Other examples include Gadzooks and the Cryptoid Kids (a series by two gay men with LGBTQ themes), Astur’s Rebellion (said to have various LGBTQ characters), C Students (a lesbian, Nicole, who has a crush on the new female student, Penny, jerks off to a woman’s body, and a male student, Drew, is gay), Finding Alyx! (it will feature a non-binary artist), Rock and Riot (a girl, Penny, tries to get another girl, Carla, to like her), Roads to Rome (a supporting character, Mira, has two annoying dads), Cirque Du Monstro (has an asexual main character), Succubus Cop (has an asexual cop), Starmakers (has a bisexual character), Cabiria Intermezzo (one character has a crush on the protagonist), and Long Way From Del’Arte (has bi and gay characters).

There may be LGBTQ characters in the following upcoming series: The Journey for Our Lives, Warlocks of Wrath High, and Tallyho!.

[4] The Indigo pilot was proposed in December 2019 by an animator named Moon. The show’s account was suspended (and soon to be deleted) in preparation for a possible pitching of a short from the series to Cartoon Cartoons, a program restarted in April 2021.

According to a now-deleted tweet, the series' main account was suspended for reasons of personal safety and due to the animation pitching process. Before the account was suspended, the show was going to be open to crowdfunding.

[5] Other series with a pilot include: Bunker City, Bussin, Painquin, and Project Tideaway. Others in development, and without a pilot, include: Crescent Fire, Stellapie, Squabs, Bloop and Friends, Harri’s World, Monkey Wrench, Band of Mythix, The Alyssian, Second Light, Don’t Touch the Props!, Espionage Actors, Dark Pages, Stick-Ers, Crash in the System, Here We Are, Quest Infinite, Harvey Beaks (fan reboot), Foreign Contact, Transformers Alliance (fan animation), Arbor Square, The Crystal Eden, and Aleph Stars.

Sunset Paradise is another example of an indie animated series which ended, is with the finale in July 2021.

The Two Idiots

I know this is like the third post I have made today but I just can't stop drawing silly stuff These two are my favourite characters to use for sketches or anything. One of them is obviously the same Petra as you may have seen in my first post and the second one is a (for now) unused character called Matto. He is a poly gay demon who really likes fighting and who was originally inspired by Dragon Ball of all things Anyway, might post more content regarding Matto as well but for now will try to stick to Reportérka Petra if anything, though I do plan on doing something big :333

Also fun fact : both are queer characters, Matto likes men and Petra likes women and (technically) neither identify as their assigned gender :PPP

Too-doo-loo for now :333

[antiv3nom]

yuuta for the ask game

this is awesome i also havent talked about yuuta in a while omg :D

favorite thing about them:

ive said it before. ill say it again. if you give me a plot about a character learning that they deserve to live im gonna love it. please and thank you. and with yuuta it goes SO FUCKING HARD...honestly also his continued devotion to rika is genuinely like really fun, he loves his monster wife as he fucking should

i also think that his cursed technique is really really cool and kinda wish we could see more of it!!! OH ALSO I FORGOR THAT WE SAW HIS DOMAIN EXPANSION RECENTLY ACTUALLY THAT DID GO REALLY HARD

i havent been keeping up super actively with jjk but i think this is understandable

least favorite thing about them:

idk if ive thought deeply enough about yuuta in a while to really have a least favorite thing about him? and like anything i say about how yuuta is currently present in the series is sort of colored by. yk. the way the manga is right now. which all in all is not. my favorite. anyways if i think of anything else maybe ill rb this with an addition lol

favorite line:

relating to the first question actually:

I want the confidence to feel like it's ok to live.

IT HIT SO HARD THE FIRST TIME AND IT HITS SO HARD EVERY TIME!!!!!! i remember tearing up the first time i went to go see jjk0 in theaters at this scene like. it was so good

brOTP:

I LOVE PLATONIC YUUTA AND MAKI!!! honestly i really love yuuta's interactions with the second years as a whole but these two have some really really great moments (first mission, fighting geto, etc)

OTP:

now yall know im an inuokko enjoyer!!! this has not changed!!! and again it needs very little elaboration ive already said a ton on this topic but yuuta being one of the closest people to toge and being able to honestly very quickly see that he's a very caring person is really fun to me :D

also like. i bring this up all the time but the fact that the one non-cursed non-rice ball word we've seen toge say is yuuta's name? like yeah. points. gay people.

nOTP:

id like to say again that im like. not avidly against anything here? like im not a big romantic yuutamaki enjoyer bc i more enjoy their relationship from a platonic lens but no shade to anyone who does like romantic yuutamaki! thats fair as fuck!

only other thing that comes to mind is yuuta and megumi but again thats very much a person opinion and i can see the appeal but its just not for me 👍

random headcanon:

yuuta was is not a morning person for most of his life and almost became one by necessity what with everything at tokyo jujutsu high, but did genuinely grow over time to enjoy waking up early because he likes the quiet he gets in the morning when no one else is awake and moving around

unpopular opinion:

genuinely dont think i can do this one this time around because i dont know what the popular opinions on yuuta are anymore LMAO

song i associate with them:

ame to petra by balloon/keina suda. hands down. everyone go listen to the original or eve's cover of that song and read the english lyrics RIGHT NOW. REALLY GOOD SONG.

favorite picture of them:

ngl i miss gege's old style a bit, look at them...

AND ALSO AT THE END OF S2 THEY DID HIM JUSTICE HERE

^ face of a guy who just obliterated a curse. hes so real for this

[daisiesonafield-blog]

Who is Petra?

Hi dear,

Here  and here and here it is.

[daisiesonafield-blog]

Here it is

Hi, Gina! I’m sorry if this is a bit obvious, but where does “he’s gay, Petra” come from? I’ve seen it all over and I don’t really know where it originates from, haha

Ohhhh. I was looking for the original post, but of course can’t find it.

So, a few years ago there was an article about Harry buying a new “bachelor pad” in LA. There was a fair amount of description and some photos.

In the comment section someone who had logged in with the name “Petra”, posted something along the lines of how Harry was going to get all the ladies with this sexy new house and it was going to be a hot bed of heterosexual action.

And then the comment right below it simply said: He’s gay, Petra.

And the fandom laughed forever.

Please someone link the original because it’s so much funnier with the visuals.

The Amazing Parker Brothers  (Spider-Man Series AU) - Headcanons & Plot Constructions

Peter 3 once said: “This is so cool. I always wanted brothers.” So these are some headcanons that I spontaneously thought of if all three Peter Parkers are brothers, or triplets because it would be funny. Depending on the plot really.

Oh, yeah. It has been a long time since I watch any of the movies. The recent I watched is NWH, so I’m relying on the Wikipedia summary of the older movies. The plot is a combination of all movies. Well, at least tried to combine them.

Though, re-reading this, I think it becomes Spider-Man 2002 staring Andrew Garfield with some Homecoming elements

Starts with the names: Peter 1 (Tom Holland’s Peter) gets the name “Piers”, the OldEnglish variant of Peter

Peter 2 (Tobey Maguire’s Peter) gets “Petros”, masculine form of Greek petra, the origin of the name Peter

Peter 3 (Andrew Garfield’s Peter) is the one who keeps the name “Peter”

(We’re going to pretend MJ and Gwen doesn’t exist in this universe because we’re focusing on the brothers)

(Uncle Ben, Aunt May, Richard and Mary Parker are mentioned briefly though)

(While others like Harry, Norman, and Tony exists as well, the rest will be taken over by one of the Peters, like Tobey’s Peter filling Uncle Ben & Aunt May’s guardian figure)

Following their respective series, Petey is the oldest, Pete is the middle, and Piers is the youngest of the brothers

If they’re not triplets then Petey is 22, Pete is 17, and Piers is 15 in 2016 following the Spider-Man: Homecoming timeline in the MCU

(The gap between their first appearance in movies divided by two. There’s a 10 years gap between Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man (2002) and The Amazing Spiderman (2012), so Petey and Pete have 10/2 = 5 years age difference) 

(There’s a 4 years gap between The Amazing Spiderman (2012) and Captain America: Civil War (2016), so Pete and Piers have 4/2 = 2 years age difference)

Petey was born in 29th April 1994 (the premier date of Spider-Man 2002 in Mann Village Theater)

Pete was born in 13th June 1999 (the premier date of The Amazing Spider-Man in Tokyo)

Piers was born in 10th August 2001 (revealed in Spider-Man: Far From Home and the year becoming the base for the others’ birth years)

In 2005, their parents left them with Uncle Ben and Aunt May when Pete was 6 years old (making Petey 11 and Peter 4)

Four years later, in 2009, Uncle Ben dies when he was taking their nephew’s at the Iron Man 2 expo when Piers was 6 years old (making Petey 13 and Pete 8)

When Petros is of legal age, he share custody with Aunt May and decides to move out. Peter and Piers join in. Aunt May still visits during the weekend.

The three of them live in a crappy one-bedroom apartment and take turns when sleeping. Two will sleep on the bed while one on the couch

(May or may has not lie about his age to get the full-time job position)

Petey still works as a pizza delivery guy, later also works as photographer at Daily Bugle

Also has some rivalries with Eddie Brock

Pete and Piers get Midtown School of Science and Technology because of a scholarship program

Pete becomes friends with Harry Osborn

(Might be gay for each other but who knows)

He also idolizes Norman Osborn, Harry’s dad, even wrote a paper on his research

Yeah, he’s actually the smartest between the brothers, but he doesn’t show it often

Piers joins the decathlon team where Harry is the leader and he's the co-leader

Harry honestly only joins in to follow his dad’s request but has no interest

But he gets to get close with his best friend’s (and crush?) brother, so that’s a plus

Unlike Pete, Piers’ idol is Tony Stark/Iron Man who saved him during Stark Expo

In fact, Peter is kinda a fanboy of all the Avengers

(Oh, yeah. The Avengers exits because this still counts as MCU AU)

(Let’s just say this takes place after Captain America: Civil War, but Spiderman doesn’t get recruited)

Pete and Piers often argue who is the best between Norman Osborn and Tony Stark considering both companies are rivals

Pete gets an internship at Oscorp by Norman, but only accepts after learning that their father worked there for a cross-species genetic

(I mean he gets paid from the said internship, so he’s also helping his brother)

There, he gets bitten by the genetically-modified spider, making him the first Spider-Man

And gets the whole superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, agility, coordination, and balance aspect of the power, along with the stickiness sixth sense.

(Yeah, each Parker gets one power. But everyone has the sticky fingers and spidey sense)

The spider is still alive by the way after being smacked. His job ain’t done yet. So it crawls and crawls, trying to find its new target

Let’s just say, because of the internship, it takes quite a lot of Pete’s time until he forgets to pick up Piers after his decathlon practice

Petey and Pete get into a fight for that which leads Pete to leave to Delmar’s Deli & Grill

And, you know, Petey gets shot from a mugging like Uncle Ben

Luckily, very lucky for them, Tony is driving through the area and gets him to the hospital. So nobody dies yet

After tracking the killer, Pete becomes Spider-Man for the first time and catches him

While Peter becomes Spider-Man, Piers is often in the hospital with Petey, making him misses so many decathlon practices and on the edge of being kicked out

Tony visits often where he learns about the decathlon national tournament in Washington DC

Tony offers to take care of Petey while Piers joins the competition

Pete doesn’t really take well with Piers leaving, still traumatized with Petey’s mugging

But Piers argues back that Pete was never really there because of his ‘internship’

So Pete promises he will join Piers just to keep him safe. He’ll even take pictures for Petey

After telling to Harry, who tells this to his dad, Pete gets a free trip to Washington DC with the decathlon team

Speaking of internship, at this point, Norman has turned into the Green Goblin with the serum he and Pete have developed

Meanwhile, Oscorp board is about to sell the company to Stark Industry. The meeting with Pepper Potts is going to happen in Washington DC

Andrew’s Spider-Man vs Dafoe’s Green Goblin fight in Washington DC with Holland’s Peter as MJ

Iron Man is also there. This is when Tony starts to take interest in Spider-Man

Once Petey is admitted out of the hospital, it becomes harder for him to catch up with Eddie who has been striving in Daily Bugle with his Spider-Man pictures

Tony has also gained some soft spot for the brothers, especially Peter

That’s where he learns about Piers’ idea to give Spider-Man suit an upgrade

So, Tony just offer an internship at Stark Industry

(I mean he gets paid from the said internship, so he’s also helping his brother)

By the way, remember the genetically-modified spider? Yeah. It arrives in Daily Bugle now

On the same day, Green Goblin attacks to find to take pictures of Spider-Man

Petey whacked Green Goblin’s head with a chair to save J.J. Jameson but got tossed to the wall

Amidst the chaos, the genetically-modified spider bit Petey

Petey gets the self-produce web aspect of the power, along with the stickiness sixth sense.

The Goblin offers Spider-Man a place at his side, but Pete refuses

He offers it a couple of times until Pete is wounded

The obligatory dinner scene with the family. Both Peter and Pete decline Tony and Harry’s offer in favor of spending it with their family

But somehow Harry, Norman, and Tony (also maybe Pepper) ended up coming to dinner

Norman finds out from Pete’s scar and realized that he’s Spider-Man. So, you know, he has to hurt the other brothers right?

So he picked the day when Piers’ class is having a field trip to Stark Industry

Cue all those embarrassing field trip moments

At least that’s until the Green Goblin decides to attack

But you’d be wrong if Tony would let his son intern gets hurt

So Tony takes care of Piers until he gets better which means Piers can’t come to the homecoming dance

Getting closer to homecoming, Harry asks Pete whether he wants to be his date. Pete, obviously, says yes

Norman has an issue with this, but eh, just this once Harry is going behind his father’s back

Petey: “My baby brothers are growing up!” 

Petey works overtime but, surprise, Green Goblin captures him as a hostage

Pete leaves Harry at the homecoming dances after Norman’s phone call. Harry goes home

Andrew’s Spider-Man vs Dafoe’s Green Goblin fight in Queensboro Bridge with Maguire’s Peter as MJ

When Petey gets thrown, he sticks onto the metal or something

Little brotherly moments between Petey and Pete and hinting that Petey knows Spider-Man secret identity

Pete brings Norman body back, Harry thinks Spider-Man killed his dad

Petey goes to pick up Piers from homecoming with Pete already waiting at home

Petey tells Pete that he knows that he's Spider-Man

Though they agree not to tell Piers just yet

Harry swears revenge for his father's death, but still be friends with Pete since he doesn't know the secret

But Pete resigns from being an Oscorp intern because he worries Harry might find out about his identity

He also tells this to Petey as well, saying that he’s worried that he and Peter will gets in trouble because of him

But Petey assure him that they’re brothers and they won’t leave him alone no matter the dangers

He also reveals his stickiness and self-made web

So, two potential Spider-Men

Tony and Piers finish the new Spider-Man costume

Petey gets better pictures of Spider-Man with Pete as his model

(No. He's not cheating. Pete just calls him every time there's a crime so Petey can take his good looks)

Pete also gives Petey some web-swinging lesson

Pete is still not happy from being called a menace

But, overall, the three of them live happily as brothers

Okay, full disclosure: the whole 1d hype kinda blew past me back then and i only vaguely knew of them. Obviously I had heard about larry but I always dismissed it as fandom conspiracy. A couple of weeks ago I was very bored so i decided to watch some "larry moments" on youtube because I thought that it would be just unhinged enough to be funny and entertaining. But the more I watched the more i thought "hold on, wait a minute.... I think they might be onto something here 👀😳" and now i'm trying to catch up on everything because damn it's A Lot 😳 you don't happen to have links to master posts or something like that?

hello and welcome! there is definitely a lot to go through so first some advice: i wouldn’t bother with trying to learn through twitter or tiktok, as there’s so much misinformation—like old proofs given extra context or even debunkings over the years, that no one seems to do their research on and constantly bring back—and general tomfoolery to go through, as well as just a lot of general nasty or weird™️ behavior in and out of the community. i'd also suggest looking through things chronologically if and when you can!

now to recs and links:

sadly one of the biggest masterpost collectors tellmethisisnotlove had her original account reported and deleted, as when i came back to the 1d and HL-centric community to play catch up and all that, i scoured and shared her blog the most with my friend i’d roped in with me; i know some of her blog pages and posts are saved in the wayback machine, but i don't have the direct links so i would suggest just googling her username as that will link you to some reblogs and the like!

@bulletprooflarry isn't active anymore but was an OG, so i'd go through their blog anyway because there's so much there focused around things going on in the OG days, as well as some post-hiatus info and goings-on. recommended tags to go through can be found here, here, and here!

@larrytimelines is really all timelines + general info!

@skepticalarrie has a super thorough tagging system as well as lots of masterposts and analyses. i really like how far she gets into things and is careful to cover all her points thoroughly!

@bluewinnerangel is a newer community member already has a pretty thorough tag page for everything from body language to lyric analyses to debunked occurrences!

@twopoppies answers a lot of questions, has a lot of info saved, and has some great fic recs! i'd really just go through her blog as she tags everything meticulously, but some tags to i'd start with are larry moments, gay innuendo, closeting, rbb and sbb, music industry, babygate, and then and now!

@daisiesonafield-blog also has a treasure trove of info and runs larrytimelines! some of her tags i'd start with are for new larries, baby boyfriends, soulmates, always so obvious, larry receipts/receipts (please accept most receipts at your own discretion though!), stunts, and he's gay petra!

freddieismyqueen is also an icon now inactive but their videos are a godsend!

i hope this is a decent starting point for you, anon, and feel free to message me again if you have any questions or need anymore information!

also—if anyone else would like to add onto this, please feel free to!
