🖊🖊🖊 for Tocchix!

@mystery-salad

Want me to gush about my OCs? 🖊

*vibrates* okay so that's 3 right? 👀 I'm picking: little brat, drinks and TB!

1- Tocchix was a total brat as a kid. He couldn't stay still for long and he'd take full advantage of his fledgling shadow magic, climbing onto/getting into things he was not supposed to just to see if he could do it. It got particularly bad after his mother's sudden passing, with the added motivation of wanting to be part of the Order of Whispers one day pushing him beyond reasonable risks. After going too far one time and actually risking it big, his dad had a serious talk with him about it all, and Tocchix realized just how much he worried every time. Feeling terrible about it, he started behaving perfectly around him (later also Alyt and Myrn) and eventually stopped for the most part after moving to Lion's Arch, but in the meantime, everyone else was fair game if he was sure he wouldn't get caught, which was most of the time.

Case in point, he was never caught climbing onto one of the historical labs under Rata Sum to recover a trinket for his and Bunnie's secret project, but he still might be the reason a few of the older Metamystic's professors have stopped letting progeny roam around the area during school trips without intense supervision. He still claims full innocence about the Moa accident, though, he just found himself along for the ride.

-

2- He's an absolute lightweight and he knows it! Just a sip is enough to make him babble and giggle for no reason, and he's completely drunk after an ale or two, let alone something stronger, yet somehow he is usually spared from serious hangovers.

Many of his friends tried to take advantage of that quirk to make him take his mind off of things during his darkest years, but he quickly caught up to that and knew it did him little good overall (the temporary levity was not worth worse nightmares), so he very rarely indulged them. The one exception was Zrii and only in a few special occasions, as she never tried to get him to talk about his feelings and instead was just fun to be around, especially while drunk.

One can then understand why Adamas quietly freaked out for a bit when, around mid-IBS, Tocchix explicitly invited by him to go drink something together, to the point he was sure that something serious had happened. He was not entirely wrong, as Tocchix wanted to ask for advice about Huki, and he needed to be under the influence to talk about such things without crumbling about his past.

-

3- Tocchix is the proud "dad" of one of the first domesticated skyscales (first batch of hatchling after the first experiment with the Commander), TB!

What does that name stand for? No one is sure, actually. Tocchix never wanted to have a pet, let alone a freaking dragon, and while he agreed to help out with the baby skyscales due to circumstances (namely being roped into it while stuck in Sun's Refuge due to not wanting to be alone at the time), he was very adamant about it, so out of principle he never named the baby skyscale that had very clearly imprinted on him. Much to his annoyance, everyone else just called him "Tocchix's baby" and eventually shortened it to "TB", which then he used as the basis for a variety of nicknames (Tiny Bean, Teeny Bud/Buddy, Terror Bumps, Tremor Burps, Tender Bully, Tenacious Blanket, Trouble Boy, Temper Butt, etc), all with a funny story behind them, all in an effort not to call him "his baby".

Anyway, TB never left his side and Tocchix ended up growing attached to the little menace, so he kept him in the end (as everyone and their skyscales expected). Despite being a broad-horn bull and not exactly lithe, TB can be extremely sneaky and quiet, enough to accompany him on certain Order's missions, and he sort of acts like a therapy pet during downtime. He's also surprisingly good with kids and very gentle when he wants to, which does come in handy a lot nowadays.

stay safe ✧.* spiderwoman au

pairings - ellie williams x fem!reader

summary - ellie’s had a crush on you for a while, but her busy life as spiderwoman stopped her from talking to you. that is until fate forces her hand.

warning - I finally proofread something yayy

playlist | spidey masterlist

The classroom had the capacity to drive Ellie mad. Scratching of pencils against papers, monotonous talk from the professor she really should be listening to, side conversations, all of it. Even the chill of the air could give her a panic attack, amongst all the others things on her mind.   

That was all nothing with you around. She barely knew you beyond the fact that you always sat in the front row, more attentive than her. She could see the highlighted, detailed notes even from the back row. The coordinated outfits even when you’d tried to be lazy that day. Something about you was comforting and she had no idea why. Maybe she just being a creep.  

“Drawing her again?” Ellie’s head snapped up toward Jesse. She shut her notebook quickly and glared at him.  

“It’s not her.” She ran her fingers through her hair as she sat back in her chair. She glanced as you oblivious to their conversation. That was you, focused to a fault. Too determined to be at a place where half the student body just wanted the credit. She admired that.  

“Oh, so you like to draw more than one girl?” Jesse tried to slickly pull the journal over to him but Ellie's hand shot out to stop him. “Damn,” He smirked as he pulled his hands back. 

“Shut up.” 

“I'm just saying, you should talk to her one day.” 

“I’m not doing that.” She opened her notebook and scribbled something word adjacent to get the professor to stop glaring at her and Jesse. Another glance your way and there you were hand moving faster than hers to catch every word.  

“And why not?” 

“I-I.” Ellie paused, trying to come up with a valid excuse. She had many of them. She was a vigilante that ran around in spider-themed blue and red spandex and she had no life at all besides that. Oh, also school and work so that she wouldn’t drown in debt and end up homeless, many really. “I wouldn’t know what to say.” That was also true.  “And I don’t know anything about her.” She glanced at the drawings she’d put detail to in the margins. 

 It was creepy when she thought about it. The number of drawings she had of you in her notebook this semester alone. She was ashamed there were other notebooks from other classes you’d coincidentally taken together. 

“That’s why you should talk to her.” 

“Just..focus, you big doof.” Ellie gently, or what she thought was gently, punched Jesse arm. Forgot her own strength, oops. She snorted when he still groaned, earning them both another look from the professor.  

Ellie swung her legs back and forth as she tried to whistle. She’d almost got it down. The night air was freezing and the thin layer of spandex she wore didn’t help. She leaned back on her hands as she waited for something to do.  

The moment she started to accept that she was bored, sirens went off below her. “Shit—“ She said, pulling her mask over her head and shooting a web on the building across her, using it to swing her body into the air after them.  

“What’s going on?” She said as she landed, walking towards the police captain. She wasn’t aware he was your dad when she first met him. It was only when she saw him pick you up and that she put the pieces together and fixed her short-lived rivalry with him. Totally not because he was your dad. That was like 40% of the reason. 

She frowned as your dad looked up at the tall building above you with a face opposite of his usually composed nature. Ellie followed his line of sight. Her heart almost dropped to her stomach. She saw you dangling from the hands of a big familiar lizard, screaming for your life. They were other people, scientists all in white coats, who were far from the edge but their screams could be heard overlapping yours. “I just a little talk with Spiderwoman. Any cops and I drop the girl,”  He dangled you further into the air, causing the crowd below to gasp.  

“You have to go up there—“ 

“Already on it.” 

Ellie could feel her hands shake as she climbed up the building. Between the people watching and you looking down at her helplessly, the pressure weighed down every inch of her skin. This not how she wanted to talk to you for the first time.  

“Alright, I'm here.” she walked slowly towards the Lizard..or Dr Connors..or whatever he wanted to go by now. It didn’t matter at the moment. “You let the people go and we’ll talk, fight, whatever you want, big guy. Just let the people and-” She stopped her from saying your name. “and the girl go.” 

“Big guy? surely, you haven't forgotten my name." 

"Dr. Connors, is that it? That's what you wanna be called, right? Dr. Connors, put the girl down and let the people go. We'll talk after- NO!" Ellie almost launched her body forward after you slipped an inch from his grip. She huffed as he began to laugh at her panic. 

"You think this is funny?"  

"Yes, yes, putting her down now." Ellie watched as you fell onto the ground and scrambled to run towards the door. Her eyes lingered as she watched you disappear into the building with the others. You were safe.  

She was fuming when she turned back to Dr. Connors. How the hell did he get out? She didn't have time to question it as she pushed into the wall and forced into a fight. She'd tried her hardest to capture him using her webs but he was stronger, using her as a glorified crash dummy. She gasped for air as she was pushed into the ground. her eyes darted around, looking for a solution when the sound of a thunk caught her attention. 

Ellie frowned as she saw you drop the microscope and step back from the angered lizard. You weren’t supposed to come back. She groaned as she lifted herself up. "No, no, no-" She shot webs all over its (his?) back like as a sort of straightjacket. She kept going until he couldn't move against the material and was stuck to the wall. She caught her breath briefly before holding out her hand. She swallowed as you took it with no hesitation. She tried not to freak out as she wrapped her arms around your waist firmly enough to be able to carry you. "I'm gonna get you down to your dad, okay?" She said softly. 

"Okay." You nodded, panic in your voice as you shut your eyes. She was careful to land gently onto the police car. Her eyes never left you as she watched your dad help you down and take you into his arms. 

She shook her head at the claps as she hopped down on the floor, holding her side. "Please, get your guys up there before he breaks free." She said to your father, who still held you close to him. She had a feeling that would last. He gave a appreciate nod and muttering something to another cop.  

She was getting ready to leave when she heard you running up behind her. "Spiderwoman!" You yelled after her, voice still shaky with nerves. She turned around to face you. "Hey-" Ellie cleared throat. "Hey," She said deeper this time, hoping you wouldn't recognize her voice. "Are you okay? Did he hit you?" She took a step closer, hands hovering over you before she let them fall to her side. 

You nodded. "I-I'm fine now, thanks to you. Are..are you? You took a lot of hits-" 

"Oh yeah, I'm fine. You see the other guy?" She quipped, shifting on her feet. Please laugh. 

"Thank you for that. I know hear that a lot, but thank you.” Ellie could've melted at your words paired with your breathless laugh. She heard it quite a few times a day and it was nice to hear, but it wasn't why she did it. Still, hearing it from you..did something to her.  

"I.." She trailed off.  

You stepped closer, tentatively wrapping your arms around her. She accepted almost immediately, breathing deeply into the hug. She couldn't remember the last time she'd gotten one. She cleared her throat again as you pulled back a few seconds later with another thank you. "Stay safe!" Ellie yelled after you. She groaned as she watched you walk away. "Goddamn it," This crush wasn't going anyway any time soon. At least she'd finally talked to you, just not as her. 

thank you for reading!

for the pnf revival the episode i’m manifesting is a modern fish and reptile care standards one where buford comes over with biff and says hey i think this 2008 cartoon goldfish bowl is getting too small for biff can you guys help me make him something bigger and phineas and ferb say yeah sure! and spend the episode making this huge elaborate multilayered terrarium with fourteen different substrate layers and decorations placed to optimise feng shui and temperature control accurate to a thousandth of a millionth of a degree and all that. it’s big as hell and takes up the whole backyard so obviously candace says mom holy fuck but doof has been working on a just-barely-adequate-inator that replaces any item with the bare minimum for it to fulfil its intended function, likely to replace a gift roger is getting for their parents to make him look like he doesn’t want to put in extra effort, which in the usual fight with perry goes off and hits the giant elaborate fish theme park and replaces the whole thing with just a nice little aquarium with some colourful gravel and plastic plants and a good strong filter. so linda gets home and says aww did you boys help buford decorate his new fish tank that’s so awesome of you. candace maybe you should help next time i bet you’d have more fun that way. there you are perry, signature guitar riff and cut to black, roll credits dan and swampy should hire me

Jayce noticed the slightest shift. And by “slightest,” he definitely meant slightest: Viktor still glared at him like he couldn’t possibly be a more offensive existence stealing his air; he still wriggled despite the warning, making it imperative that Jayce readjust his grip and hold him tighter; and he still complained with an edge to his tone that was probably sharper than any existing weapon. But. But. As the explanation for this atrocious behavior sunk in, the coldness to Viktor’s reactions seemed . . . less biting. Less angry, maybe, and more appalled.

—which was incredibly funny, Jayce thought to himself. Another reason why that smile on his face hadn’t fully vanished and just now twitched wider again: Come on, Viktor. You know me. Why is this surprising? And when an exasperated analysis of the situation came roaring at him next, that smile was accompanied by the roll of his eyes.

“Absolutely, it’s ridiculous,” he agreed, and since he’d yet to be dissuaded by all the hostility, he thought it wise to press this further with a cheeky elaboration. “The fact that it takes this for you to properly take care of yourself . . . ? Yeah, you’re right. I agree; it’s ridiculous. Anything else—?”

Jayce was really tempting fate here (or, more alarmingly, his partner’s patience), but despite the cursory worry of this grudge becoming a longstanding issue, he didn’t falter. He went on ahead, located a staircase, and began a descent with care . . . all the while silently hoping Viktor would figure this was the exact wrong place to put up more of a fuss.

Last thing either of them needed was an accident. Jayce would never forgive himself (especially after how adamantly he was going about this whole thing). So, he angled his torso as he navigated the steps, keeping a watchful eye on where he put his feet. And in that brief and quiet concentration, his puffed-up posture slackened, cockiness thinning out just enough for a light sigh to breach his lips. He chanced another look at the flushed complexion of his partner.

Yep. Definitely anger. . . . for the most part.

“Look”—his attention shifted back to ensure Viktor’s safety—“you and I both know you’d work all the way through the night if someone didn’t drag you away. And, crazy pitch, but you’re still human and still need to look after yourself, okay? If it makes you feel any better, you can get me back—and I know you will. I won’t have a right to complain. Deal?”

Living in Piltover for most of his adult life had taught Viktor how to curb his anger.

In his younger days it had been a potent fire that he hadn't tried to hide. He hadn't cared who saw his disgust at the sight of Piltover's finest dripping in clothes and jewelry so ornate that each piece cost more than all the money he'd saved to claw himself out of the underground. He hadn't cared who overheard his offensive mutterings when a part of him wanted them to be heard.

But with time came maturity, and subsequently refinement. His anger was no longer a fiery force, but a sharpened, ice-cold bullet that he could wield.

Viktor felt a surge of that now. It was at odds with the red-hot burn of shame darkening his cheeks: an ugly, festering concoction in the pit of his stomach that heightened at his partner's "proposal."

"Absolutely not." Though he did not raise his voice, those two words held all the lethal force of an Enforcer's gun. It wasn't a short walk from their lab to the front entrance of the Academy building. Late hour or not, the Academy grounds were never completely deserted—and that sickening ice-burn compounded exponentially at the thought of how many people could see in that time.

Viktor swallowed hard, squirming despite Jayce's warnings. At least if Jayce dropped him then he would be the one faced with these loathsome feelings. "Put me down immediately," he commanded as if that alone would force the other's hand. But then Jayce had the audacity to be cocky, and just as Viktor inhaled to teach a lesson of his own with some choice words—

That's more important to me than anything else.

Just like that, the indignation tightening the back of his throat faltered. Viktor looked up at the man now serving as his personal transport, guarded yet quizzical, complete with a stitch in his brow.

"That is why you—?" It was so absurd that he couldn't even finish the sentence. Viktor pinched the bridge of his nose, struggling to accept the simple sincerity of his partner's words through skyrocketing exasperation. All this just to ensure he ate a meal? Seriously? Suddenly he felt a headache coming on.

"Really, Jayce, this is ridiculous." The look he shot his partner was still annoyed, but less venomous than before. He only scoffed at the first sorry expression Jayce had made since this ordeal began. "You have just signed yourself up to test that theory with every step. I suggest you consider carefully how far you're willing to take this."

Jason Todd Headcanons

just a few thoughts that help inform the way i write this doof. it's linked below as well, but check out jason's spotify wrapped if you have a minute! ;-)

Samsung User

Jason says he likes his coffee dark, but secretly orders flavored lattes (see that one Hozier photo)

Puts cinnamon in his coffee grounds

He may have good taste in books, but he's got shit taste in movies

Loves a few basic safe picks - Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, things you might expect from someone like him

But his "Watch Again" list is all cheesy action movies and wacky comedies. Mark Wahlberg appears a little too often.

Doesn’t watch a lot of television, but sometimes likes to fall asleep to Family Guy or South Park

Has one ear piercing he got on a dare, done by either one of his brothers or one of the Outlaws

Good gift giver, but only wraps things in newspaper

Really terrible about remembering to take his medication

To the point that Dick and Tim got him one of those every day of the week pill boxes as a joke - but it's actually been incredibly helpful

Is a regular at his neighborhood corner store

To the point where the guys at the counter don’t even card him anymore

He's the type of man to sleep till noon, 1:30 on Sundays

If he's sharing a bed, he will snuggle up to you in his sleep

Snores

Unfortunately uses 3-in-1 shampoo/conditioner/body wash

Has an high tolerance for weed, which annoys the hell out of him because he enjoys a joint but does not fuck with edibles

Every time he tries an edible, he stares at himself in the mirror for three hours and Does Not like it

Drunk Yapper

Beer Drinker

Doesn't always know his own strength

Not in the accidentally-break-someone's-arm type of way, but definitely in the sometimes-closes-the-door-too-hard-and-goes-"whoopsie daises!" type of way

Thankfully, he's become a pretty great handy man

Despite being a certified Car Guy, he did die at 15 and as a consequence is lowkey still learning how to drive a non-military grade car (in other words, he's a shit driver) (but it's okay, he sticks to the motorcycle and public transportation)

He's not a hugger, but he is a leaner

Thrifts all of his clothes

Prefers to get his books from local indie/second-hand/new & used bookstores

But still has a Barnes & Nobles membership card

His bookshelf is not organized what-so-ever; it's started to operate as more of a gun rack while his books get stacked underneath his bed (he tells himself that this will make him get through his To Be Read list faster)

His top played song of last year was “Kiss Me Through The Phone” by Soulja Boy

His music taste can be divided into three primary playlists; East Coast Rap, Metal, Ear Worms

Is the family expert on the Gotham underground music scene

He isn’t big on social media at all, but he has a Twitter with like 15 followers he uses to keep an eye on whoever

(and also to keep up with music and book updates)

He’s occasionally very funny on it. But just occasionally.

Just Online enough to know who Trisha Paytas is, not Online enough to know who ClubChalamet is

He got his GED once he joined the family again

and yes, they threw him a little party to celebrate

Has the BatChat on silent, but still checks it regularly

Terrible texter; you’ll either hear back from him immediately or in three weeks time

“srry didn’t see this”

(he did see this, he just got anxiety about it)

Has a lot of anxiety about smalls things like that

Especially when it comes to the Bat Family

He’s not always sure where he stands with everyone - if they like him, trust him, want him there

Paranoid that they’re nosy because they secretly think he’s going to go rogue again

Has to constantly remind himself that they’re just nosy the same way that he’s nosy - because this is literally a family of detectives

[terrible-horrible-mind-of-aspen]

This might be a little more out there than my previous Phineas and Ferb posts but it's a specific headcanon that I've been thinking about for like a week and a half and I'm going insane actually

Phineas has a lot of different projects and ambitions and weird pastimes that he does as an adult. He still has all that creativity and energy and he cannot just sit down and work a job. He had an engineering job for like two weeks right out of college and he hated it. He needs to do something unique and interesting and NEW or he's going to explode

An idea that he'd been considering for a while was to record all the songs they spontaneously sang as kids. He remembers a lot of them and writes down the lyrics whenever he thinks of them. He's been collecting this stuff for years but hasn't done anything with it because he was busy with school, and thought that people might think it's silly or not want to do it. But now he's an adult, he doesn't have a job, and he's bored out of his damn mind so he starts to make some real progress on this. He talks to Isabella and Ferb about it, and eventually reaches out to Candace and their other friends and tells them all about this idea. And as usual, everyone goes "yeah okay why not" and they're willing to do it.

Phineas has so many of these songs written down. And he collects even more from his friends and family. Collectively, they're able to piece together pretty much all of them.

And naturally, being Phineas, he goes the extra mile with this. He calls up other people they met (like that time they went around the world in one day) and asks them if they'd be willing to record some music for him. He calls Love Handel to do the instrumentals and some backup singing. He also gets Vanessa, and by extension, Doofenshmirtz, to record some stuff. Because he remembers that Vanessa sang some songs with them back when they were kids, and then Doof heard that she'd been signed on to some sort of Danville record label and he has a lot of musical numbers that he would like to record.

This becomes a very big project and Phineas does drive people a little crazy with it. The fireside girls are texting Isabella like "why is your boyfriend calling me at 2am asking me about a song I sung ONE TIME in his backyard when we were ten years old" or "why did you tell Phineas about the bee song it's so embarrassing and he wasn't even there when I sang that" but it turns out fine. It's great. Phineas releases a few different albums of their music, and people really really like it.

hey!! Not sure if ur taking reqs but I saw ur headcanons and they r soo cute😭😭 I was wondering if I can request a Daisuke x fem reader fanfic where reader is doing her skincare routine and Daisuke is like “can I try” and they both just end up doing face masks n skincare tg

HELLO THIS IS SO CUTE WHAT. I fear I'm obligated to do this now😼

(Daisuke x fem!Reader, I didn't check my Grammer on this, so if there's mistakes, mb😭🙏)

You and Daisuke recently started living together, and you couldn't be happier! He could be a doof sometimes, but you love him. One night you were in the bathroom doing your skincare routine like you do every night before bed. You heard Daisukes foot steps from down the hallway. "What's with the weird face?" Daisuke poked his head through the half-open door, his eyes squinting in curiously . You couldn't help but let out a small giggle as you looked up from the bathroom mirror, your cheeks covered in a bubbly white mask. "It's not weird, your weird. it's my skin care" you explained to him.

Daisuke leaned against the doorframe "Skincare? Can't say I've ever seen you do that before." Daisuke's curiosity grew. He stepped into the bathroom, he took a step closer, peering over your shoulder at the array of bottles and jars lined up on the counter. "Mind if I give it a shot?" there was a hint of interest behind his voice. You smile at him, "why of course," you said turning around and booping his nose with a drop of moisturizer. Daisuke stood there, a goofy smile plastered on his face. You couldn’t help but laugh at how utterly adorable he looked with that tiny dot of cream on his nose. “What was that for?” he exclaimed, trying to wipe it away with the back of his hand, but only smudging it further. “It’s called moisturizer, genius! It helps keep your skin hydrated,” you giggled, enjoying the moment.

"Hydrate? But I thought that was just for plants,” he said confidently, a smirk breaking out across his face. You rolled your eyes playfully and grabbed cleanser, “First, we cleanse,” you said, massaging the product in with your fingers, then onto his face. Daisuke squirmed slightly, his face scrunching up in a silly expression. “This feels… weird,” he said, but you knew he was trying to hide his smile. “Just wait until we get to the mask!” you teased, rinsing the cleanser away off his face, reaching for a green clay mask and you start putting it all over his face.

He scrunched his nose and yelped "Augh! Why is it so cold!?" You couldn’t help but laugh, your heart swelling with affection for this goofy guy. "Well obviously you idiot!" After letting the mask sit for a while, you rinse it off and move on to the last step. "Okay, last step is just moisturizer, do you think you can handle that ya big baby?" You said teasing him. He rolled his eyes at you as you were about to apply the moisturizer onto his skin, he grabbed it having different plans. "let me do it this time!" But instead of putting it on his own face, he smeared it all over yours. You yelped, "Easy there, little Picasso!” you exclaimed, the warmth you saw in his eyes made you feel all giddy inside. Daisuke had always had a knack for making the simplest and even boring moments burst with joy and laughter. You whipped the moisturizer off your face, and massage some of it into his.

After, he helped you clean the bathroom up, and you both headed off to your room. "Your such a doofus ya know that?" You said with a playful smirk of your face. He smiled at you and pushed you into the bed once you got into the bedroom "yeah yeah, whatever you say" he said grinning at you. As you lay on the bed, the soft sheets cradling you, he lays down next to you, swooping you into a hug. You both giggle, and he lays a little peck on your forehead, you couldn't help but feel like you were going to explode. "I love you idiot" you say quietly into his chest as he strokes your hair before falling into a deep sleep.

"I love you too, idiot."

AAHHH THAT WAS SO FUN TO WRITE!!😼 sigh, I love writing silly little things like this it makes me all happy inside, I HOPE YOU ENJOYED ANON!!🤑🙏

i think one of the things i love most about when adora says she just put in catra's favorite number is that she remembers it while deep in her drunk adora state - and just how very casual drunk adora acts about that. like adora knows catra's favorite number the way we'd know our birthdate.

& drunk adora can get reeeal dumb forsure lol and it's fun af to watch - stumbling around, ignoring tf out of her jelly legs, letting herself slump down on the ground like that's just how legs work, no big -

- even so much adora drunk she's being a supportive friend to seahawk w/o even a hint of sarcasm. not even tryna give the guy any arm wrestle shame. he's gonna cling to that drunk adora validation 4 life cause shanty boy just wanna be 🆒 ? 🚫

but fr tho-- she's only able to just recognize glimmer as someone she knows when adora runs into the lab wielding a mop. (something she mighta accidentally turned the sword into at that point, anyway, so - go for it gurl <3)

so def sees glimmer and quickly registers her as someone she knows. but that's the extent of it - she don't even know her name and idk, maybe adora had even kinda forgotten names were like, a thing lol -- but- she still remembers catra's favorite number and acts so blasé about it, even in a state where we've come to usually see her forgetting how to person the entire time.

and ofc she does in white out lol but- in some ways, i kinda see the effect it has on her as, particularly - forgetting how to she-ra. cause even when she transforms back from her she-ra form and we see drunk adora - any lil aspect of herself essential to making she-ra effective or powerful -- is basically rendered useless, consistently absent from drunk adora -

and she-ra don't needa know catra's favorite number - but that doesn't mean adora won't always know it like she's just sayin the one word from another language she knows so well it's just part of her vocabulary - & drunk adora can still speak, even if it's usually doof goof nonsense -- she'll never even need to think about it. it's just there, something that came to occupy a lil sliver of her mind. just got that catra's favorite number reflex living in her brain.

cause she got that catra living in her brain and every damn thing about her gahhhhbcgiszvzzd

Hello me again I can remember if I already asked this but in the movie Candace against the universe there’s a scene where there in doofs space ship and we see Perry wear a space suit yet it looks like it was made for him? I was wondering your thoughts about this cause I’m just imagining them going to see the stars or fighting on another planet or something.

LMAOOOOOO i remember first watching CATU with my normal PnF fan little sister and when the asteroids scene happened i literally had to pause the movie to laugh and pester her about the space suit. Because of COURSE the only two available suits in the ship was in Perry and Doof's sizes. Doof was probably thinking the only two people bound to come aboard that ship any time soon was just gonna be him and Perry so of COURSE hes prepared. I actually cackled. They are SOOOOO married its ridiculous. The measurements are PERFECT. All the tools and buttons are accessible to 10 yr olds because they're designed to be accessible to Perry's HEIGHT.

It WOULD be cute to imagine he was planning for another space centric scheme just to keep things interesting. Maybe he WAS planning to take Perry to see the stars, maybe on their nemeversary, who knows? Theyre both big on dates like that ♥️🤭

Still thinking about how doof is such a big threat that he was assigned perry the moment he decided to be independently evil.

Owca knows this man's potential from day 1 and they did not account for him being a good person deep down (that was something perry realizes the more time they spend together). owca probably think they're lucky that "he's an idiot" (they just mean his audhd and how part of self rules are: 1. putting self-destruct buttons everywhere; and 2. assigning a daily routine for him and the nemesis he adores)

While "the network wants an episodic kids show, the authors want an epic dark complicated narrative" would explain A LOT about ML's problems, I'd still like to note that there are kids' shows that can do both, going full range from "mostly episodic with a sprinkle of narrative" (Kim Possible, MLP), to "heavily narrative but with episodic breather/filler episodes" (Gravity Falls, WITCH, the Owl House), with many variants in-between.

Even the transition from "fully episodic" to "more narratively-connected" that ML attempted to do can be done successfully - the aforementioned Gravity Falls and WITCH were more episodic in season 1 and more narratively driven in season 2.

However, I'd say there are a few other key problems that can be inferred from what we have:

The show tries too many things at once - as you have pointed out repeatedly. Magical girl and rom-com, single-hero, duo and team stories, wacky comedy and serious trauma, even trying to give several characters a redemption and a damnation arc at the same time (and failing with either). Apparently, it's not just TF vs writers: it's writers severely disagreeing with each other (see Thomas and Vincent's opinions on Chloe), and also trying to one-up the fans. Also, simply thinking too much of the work, which leads us to...

ML's total lack of self-awareness. Another famous case of a show that was almost entirely episodic is Phineas and Ferb. They use the same formula (the brothers build, Candace busts, Doof makes an Inator and is thwarted by Perry) over and over for four seasons. And by mid-season 1, the authors have been making fun of the structure, lampshading it, spoofing and twisting it, playing with "What if" episodes and never taking itself too seriously. When ML tries to be self-aware, it becomes either insulting to the fans (Animaestro), horrifically dark (Chat Blanc) or plain cringe (Simpleman). This is exacerbated by Astruc's arrogance and inability to ignore critics.

Is it possible to make a highly complex, genre-busting, yet kid-friendly story and succeed? Yes. But it needs to be better thought-out - if not from the start, then at the moment the network allows one to deviate from the formula.

And if all else fails and the story becomes too complicated and too repetitive at the same time... Well, self-awareness and the ability to make fun of one's own work can turn a sad mess into a hilariously fun disaster.

P. S. Love your posts as always, you are the main reason I'm still in the fandom!

Thank you for the kind words! I'm so glad that you're enjoying my stuff and I agree with all the things you brought up.

A big part of the reason that Miraculous is so fascinating to me is that there ISN'T a single cause of the issues. There are so many valid ways to discuss the show's problems. It's a masterclass in bad writing and what not to do!

It's why I'm able to run this blog. If it was as simple as, "here's the single reason why it's bad and here's how you fix that" or if the show never had any potential, then there wouldn't be much to talk about. But it did have potential and there is no single reason why it's bad. The causes are multitudinous as are the potential fixes! It feels like investigating some complex wreckage or an elaborate murder mystery in order to understand what the hell happened, which is really fun if you like talking about writing.

I find it much harder to discuss writing in an informative way if you only have good examples to draw from because that path risks stifling creativity. Just because a popular story did a thing well doesn't mean that story showed us the only way to do the things or even the best way to do the thing, but that's often the lesson people seem to learn. They see a thing that they like or even just a thing that audiences liked and want to copy it without understanding the full nuance of why they liked it.

A great example of this is Zuko from Avatar the Last Airbender. He was such a well-written and popular character that all these properties started copying him even though the properties in question did NOT have a setup that worked for a Zuko. Praising Zuko won't really tell you all the ways that Zuko could have failed. Meanwhile, a case study of Chloe vs Zuko or even just a general discussion of Chloe lets you actually talk about the various styles of redemption arc and what you have to do to make them feel real. It's also far more interesting than talking how Zuko could have failed because Zuko didn't fail so why are we even talking about this? It's also far more interesting than talking about a bunch of properties that did redemption arcs well because that would require you to have seen all of those properties. But Chloe is from a single property and she did fail and people understandably have wildly different feelings about what the failure was because the writing was so bad, which means that digging into her writing is way more likely to hold your interest and teach you something.

This gif really does sum it up perfectly:

[Image description: scene from the movie Knives Out where the detective Benoit Blanc exclaims "It makes no damn sense! It compels me though" to explain his feelings on an ongoing murder mystery that he's trying to solve]

As does the old adage, "failure is the greatest teacher." Of course, no one ever said that it had to be your failure!
