Tuvok Pon Farr episode deleted scene where Janeway sadly goes to her quarters and puts her Vulcan strap away (there's a calendar behind her with the day circled three times in red. exclamation marks.)

The muppet joker has been gone for almost a week I’m started to suspect strange aeons may have actually killed that muppet

I realized that's it's now officially January first, 2025 and the first I've done into the year is read maxiel porn. what has my life become.

I went to a work event this afternoon where coincidentally my little brother was working security at. He was busy so we didn't have a lot of time to talk but, as he saw me approach, he took a KitKat out of his pocket, and gave it to me very nonchalantly.

Now it just made me think about some of the boys, probably Soap and Gaz, and how the pockets of their carrier vests are probably full of snacks, at all times. Price always tells them to empty their pockets because seriously, but the man changed his mind when Gaz took a whole can of coconut water out of his pocket right as Price complained about craving one.

Soap and Gaz also always share with Nikolai whenever he's around, so that helps too.

👊 (fist) 💖 (heart)🪞 (mirror) 🎶 (music) for oc ask!

the ask game here!

🪞: Does your OC have a mirror counterpart? If so, what is their mirror counterpart like?

Yes :) Mirror Meteor is a sickly creature, a cornered dog who was taught to be helpless, he's currently a bit incomplete, a bit scared, and very alone.

👊: What would a boss fight against your OC look like? What attacks would they use and why would they be fighting Kirby?

Accounts from witnesses of fights Sir Meteor has been in suggest that his battles are often in the sky, space, and the stars--citizens of the planet Earth, the planet he had defended suggested this was because he didnt want to shatter the planet, but no evidence has been presented to weather this is within ability. One has to expect a high power fight filled with long range and close quarter answers. Lists of his abilities include but are not limited to: control of fire, explosions, and meteors. He is able to discorporate his body and take form of a meteor, but most interestingly he is the first recorded summoner of heart spears.

Rumors of his more fantastical abilites include raising the dead and speaking to their bones as well as being able to grant wishes if you wish on a him when he passes by as falling star--but these surely hold no substance, so worry not about undead armies if you ever did fight him--he certainly can loose.

💖: Has your OC met Kirby? If they have, what is their relationship with him like?

Sir Meteor was a controversial member of the GSA, and his departure was not a happy one. He has a wanted poster put out under the GSA's emblem, and Meta Knight is aware of this, and by extension Kirby is too. From the start Kirby had been told Sir Meteor was an enemy, so unlike so many who did not deserve a chance in the first place, Sir Meteor had not been given a chance at friendship with Kirby... at first anyways. What actually happened at the GSA? Is this cold treatment deserved? Kirby might end up regretting this later. Meteor on the other hand is taking a while to warm up.

🎶: What is a song that you associate with your OC, and why do you associate it with them?

answered here!

REVERT?!?

REVEEERTTTT?????

I am LOOKING

OH GOD I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY AAK I JUST KNOW I NEED TO KNOW MORE OF THIS STUPID WET BEAST OF A CLOWN ON THIS AU

oh you know how it is

when theres this almost overwhelming power seeping into your mind, changing and breaking and folding it. maybe it makes your worst come out to the broad light, maybe something happens to you and its enough to shift something in you. and this power can be the amplifier.

then youre put in a containment, with nothing but your own mind as company, and things just keep reverbing and amplifying and changing even more

then youre free, and suddenly all of that noise is gone. its silent, but at first even painful, like constant ringing in your ears after constant bombardment with noise

i think suddenly having your mind stripped of something this impactful could be a trigger for a change. and maybe now that most of it is gone, you can think more clearly. reverting fully is impossible, too many things changed permanently both externally and internally. but some things can come back, even if partially. maybe enjoying something you abandoned long ago? or accepting the past happened and maybe its time to move on

not that the last part could be that easy but hey, who knows

Jason tries, a grand total of one time, to get Drouot to do the smart thing and go to bed. He looks like mashed potatoes that got left in the fridge for too long; weirdly pasty with dark patches. That chair's not that comfortable and besides, Jason is...not fine, but not going to die in the next eight hours or anything. It's not like he's sharing any information. Or being remotely entertaining, though to be fair on that one, Jason's only really managing blocks of consciousness lasting about fifteen minutes on the outside.

But still.

"I'm serious," he mutters, swallowing a yawn of his own. "M'fine."

"Mm-hm." Drouot's not looking at him. He's doing something on his laptop, but the light makes Jason's headache worse and he can't make out what it is. "That's good, boss."

Oh, for...

"I'm ordering you to go to bed," he rasps, willing his stupidly-choked throat not to betray him. "I am still your commanding officer and--"

"You're incapacitated, boss," Drouot says smoothly. "That means I'm in charge and don't have to do shit I don't want to."

"That is not what that means--"

And here's the coughing. Drouot passes him the cup of ice chips without looking over and he takes one resentfully, bites it, and takes another one.

"If you get sick, then what," he finally wheezes. Drouot shrugs.

"Riley takes over, as punishment for you being a dumbass who thought blowing up a whole-ass building and almost dying was a good idea." Oh. He's still a little pissed about that. Well, it was a good idea and it's not Jason's fault they can't appreciate it more. "But I'm not going to get sick. So it doesn't matter."

Jason almost wishes he would, just because of this infuriatingly unfair conversation. Almost, because Dylan will probably be worse and none of them are willing to leave him entirely alone because of the security risk.

(He's grateful for that one. He couldn't fight off a mosquito right now.)

"You could," he grumbles. Not his best comeback, but sue him, he's drugged and injured and fighting to stay awake and win the argument. Drouot just huffs a laugh.

"Go back to sleep, boss. You don't look so good."

"I don't--" His throat tenses and he pauses, breathes carefully. "Fine. But when you get sick or fall down stairs or something, I'm not sparing a drop of sympathy."

"Mm-hm."

can tell the pain induced lack of sleep is getting to me because i just got emotional over the somber feeling of a heating pad losing its warmth

While I still don't think the show has done enough to show why the world despises and fears male channelers (since it really should've been embedded into the world building, so far we only know that the Aes Sedai hate and fear them) and it does kinda lessen the impact of the narrative that none of the EF5 had at least an initial gut reaction to Rand being able to channel. I do wonder how they're gonna handle that topic moving forward, cause it kinda has to be addressed now that Rand is actively channeling. I could see it being expanded more deeply as Rand's madness progresses/tie it into his arc.

the show has made it ABUNDANTLY clear that Male Channelers Are Considered Bad News By All. it IS embedded into the worldbuilding. was the king saying that logain's gone mad and trying to kill him not enough for you? was the people of tar valon jeering and throwing fruit at him not enough for you? was rand and mat saying "hey if i'm a male channeler please kill me" not enough for you? was rand's terror the second he realized selene saw him channel not enough for you? was selene's act of how a normal person would react to finding out her boyfriend can channel not enough for you? was his heartbroken yet unsurprised reaction to her rejection not enough for you? was the whole backstory of a male channeler causing the apocalypse not enough for you? do you think that show-onlys are completely incapable of putting all these pieces together along with aes sedai treatment of male channelers and coming to the conclusion that male channelers are probably not very popular with most people and it's going to be very tough for rand that he is one?

literally what else should they have done that would make sense within the very small world and very early story of the first 2 seasons/3 books that they didn't already do? shown emond's fielders sitting around the dinner table talking about how much they hate and fear male channelers when none of them has ever met one and thus it's not relevant to their lives? wasted time doing a whole sidequest for rand in s2 where his abilities are discovered by some Average Citizens and they react badly? shit all over show!mat's characterization and given him a negative reaction to rand in s2 that would not make sense for his current show headspace, just for the sake of furthering rand's randpain? i'm sick of the rand stans who act like rand is the only character who matters and mat's characterization should be sacrificed just so we can go "oh poor rand uwu even his own best friend is mean to him". portraying mat in 2x06 as the sort of person who bullies and kicks his best friend while he's down would've been beneficial because......? what is so wrong with the show making the ef5 feel like mutually loyal friends instead of "rand is the best and most loyal friend in the world but the rest are little shits who abandon him as soon as the going gets tough"? seeing as in the books, mat continues to be an extremely loyal friend to rand throughout the series but most readers are too stupid to see through his unreliable narration and realize he doesn't mean it when he says that rand channeling is like him eating babies, i'm not surprised the show decided to simplify things in order to convey the true heart of mat's character (loyal and caring friend to rand) in a more obvious manner.

and i guarantee you that no show-only is going "oh, it's only aes sedai who have a problem with male channelers, everyone else thinks they're cool". that's not happening. show-onlys are not stupid, and they understand that male channelers are considered bad news by all; or maybe they haven't thought much yet about how male channelers are viewed by the average public, but in future seasons once we see rand getting shit from the average public, they are not going to be surprised or confused or go "but i thought it was only aes sedai who had a problem with them and everyone else thinks they're cool?", they're going to go "oh, well we've seen how much aes sedai hate them, so it makes sense that everyone else does too". stop. think for 2 seconds about "have i actually seen a large number* of show-onlys misunderstanding X and/or do i think it's plausible that a large number of show-onlys would be likely to misunderstand X, or do show-onlys have enough context clues to figure out X for themselves or to be unsurprised when X is expanded on and made more explicit in future seasons and i'm working myself up into a state over a non-issue?"

*there are always going to be a handful of people incapable of critical thinking who willfully misunderstand what the show is showing us, just like there are readers like that with the books, hence unless a LARGE number of general-population show-onlys are misunderstanding X, as opposed to just 20 idiots on twitter, i do not consider it a failure by the show in portraying X.

Bunny in danger!

The Chain leave Bunny somewhere safe to clear a monster camp on their trail. Despite Wild’s assurances, Bunny isn’t so safe after all.

@thatonecrazysidekick @tiredgaytheatrekid pssst more Bunny! (I’m sorry)

TW for blood and injury.

✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 .

Black sand exploded around him, and with half his group of monsters disintegrated, Hyrule had a second to breathe before the final four pounced all at once. A spear cut a fierce gash into his right arm, blood dribbling from the wound and staining his dark sleeve. Another nicked him on the calf. A third, he grabbed by the shaft and twisted out of the monster’s hands, relishing in the way its eyes widened in alarm before he shoved the weapon back into its owner’s stomach, the monster crumbling into black sand.

A high squeal, that fiery protectiveness within his chest swelling, forcing him to look up in time to see Bunny slam into a tree with a sharp shriek. Hyrule’s heart jumped into his throat as the little pink rabbit crashed to the ground in a heap. He didn’t move.

The fourth lizalfos took advantage of the distraction and sent its spear through the back of his thigh. Pain turned his vision white and Hyrule stumbled, the spear sticking out from the front of his leg, blood trailing down his thigh in dark rivulets. Then, he caught sight of that tiny bundle of pink fur, of a lizalfos stalking over to it, a fierce bite wound in its arm, and a wave of blistering fury and golden desire to protect flooded his mind. The air around him crackled.

“Don’t touch him!” A sharp snap of his fingers, and then dozens of bolts of lightning slammed into the ground all around him, turning the world white. The ground shook and lizalfos shrieked in terror, the sounds cut off swiftly.

And then the lightning was gone, leaving behind seven stunned heroes, their hair frizzy and wild and their eyes wide. Hyrule paid them no mind, nor did he feel the normal drain such a significant spell would cause or the spear still embedded in his thigh; he frantically hobbled over to Bunny, kneeling alongside him and gritting his teeth as the spear in his thigh shifted, his vision swimming alarmingly.

“Bunny!” His hands were already glowing a tender pink, healing magic at the ready, and he pressed them against Bunny, closing his eyes as his magic sought out the wounds his little friend had accumulated. His magic pulsed in response, a warning he ignored as he trickled more into Bunny’s still form.

“Traveller, your leg!” Wild had joined him at some point. Hyrule hadn’t noticed, when the edges of his vision were blurry, his ears roaring with blood. Now, his veins began to boil. “You need to—”

He turned to Wild, teeth bared. “You said he would be safe!”

Wild’s eyes widened and he flinched back as if Hyrule had struck him. “I…”

“Look at him! He almost died because of you! This is your fault!”

“I—I’m—” Wild’s eyes glistened now, and Hyrule found the flames were only stoked by the sight.

Before he could snap anything more, Twilight pushed himself between them. “Enough!” he hissed, pushing Wild away. “Take a walk, Cub.”

“B—but, I—”

“I know,” Twilight said, gentler than Hyrule thought Wild deserved. “We’ll talk later. I’ll take over.”

Wild nodded shakily, scurried away before Hyrule could say any more.

i love how the tone shift in crossroads of ravens goes from “what’s wrong with me, why do i feel emotions, i must have been made wrong” to “strangling racists with my bare fucking hands”. on the spectrum of geralt of rivia, it really hit all the notes
