new alternative universe with entirely new original character concept
transformers prime exclusively, decepticons get their own lil human who gets to be my vent for my canon events™ and also gets turned into a mech to become an allegory for dysphoria, autism, and the aftermath of SA
what if i cooked with that
#also i wanna smooch the cons#knock-out and wavewave to be specific#i am a man of many tastes#shitpost#transformers#transformers prime#transformers au#transformers borealis

Astarion doesn't bother to remember many things before his ascension; never bothered to keep in touch with anyone from before then either. He walks the long halls of his home and sits atop a throne, revered and worshipped akin to a god, with the memories of the tiefling who stole his undead heart so long ago. The same tiefling he'd driven away when the ascension had begun to twist his mind.
"Not that I don't love you, darling, but why do you insist on giving me flowers?" Astarion remembers asking, face flustered as you tilted your head at his question.
"Just because," you'd shrugged, taking another flower and placing it in Astarion's hair. The journey to Baldur's Gate was long, and the whole group had decided to take the roundabout path for some extra time to relax, well as much time you could all set aside to relax.
The last handful of flowers you'd given Astarion were still displayed on his bedside dresser, as fresh and vibrant as the day you'd picked them for him all those decades ago. "They won't wither as long as I live, a symbol of my love for you." Astarion had scoffed at your words and called you cheesy, all the while hiding his blushing face behind his hands. He hasn't seen your smile in decades? He can't remember, he doesn't know if he wants to.
#astarion x male reader#astarion x reader#i am so down bad for this man it's not even funny. i haven't finished the game yet but i saw so many ascended astarion edits#i had to ok#shitedrabbles#tiefling reader#druid reader#ascended astarion#✨because i have concerning taste in men✨ also spoilers for Baldur's Gate 3 mostly up to Act 2 (?)#circle of death au ��️

Very attached to the idea that if Percy had been a woman she would have been named Ariadne. Like, I know that Persephone is a popular fanon name for female Percy because it's a nice way to keep her nickname. I've also seen Andromeda used by some because she lives a long life with Perseus in the myths. But Sally would have at least considered it right? Because Ariadne's a popular female figure in mythology, linked to both Theseus and Dionysus, two other famous figures in mythology. She was a clever mortal princess who was dealt a bad hand because her father's arrogance allowed him to think that he could get away with defying a god, just like how Poseidon's arrogance allowed him to think that he could get away with breaking the pact he made with Zeus and Hades. And in the end, Ariadne survived both her family's legacy and Theseus's abandonment, becoming Dionysus's immortal wife in both the PJO universe and in many retellings of the myth of the Minotaur and Theseus in real life. Ariadne got to live out her happy ending just like how Perseus did in mythology, which is the main reason why Sally even gave Percy the name Perseus to begin with. Am I delusional to think that Sally would have given a female Percy the name Ariadne? Who the fuck knows. But I'm so attached to the idea that it literally just supersedes any other name I could have come up with
#if i am just let me believe. i'm just very attached to the idea of little 12 year old ariadne “ari” jackson meeting mr. d and being like#'wow. this is the husband of the woman i'm named after. why couldn't the gods at least let me think he was attractive'#'because dear god the way he's presenting himself is such a let down. ariadne girl i am questioning your taste'#oh my god percy would so drag this man and mentally just question everything when he finally brings homegirl up in titan's curse#also this may or may not be related to the lesbian nicercy canon divergent fic i'm constantly just writing in my mind#already re-imagined their interactions at percy's birthday so many times and god its so romantic in my head#pjo#female percy jackson#percy jackson#lesbian nicercy canon divergent au#yuri.txt

Ancap n commie is so hard to talk about. What do i say. That theyre wholly opposite and everything the other stand against? That they know each other so well and deeply? That commie will always express out loud how clearly he knows ancap like the back of his hand, and ancap will never say it out loud, but instead use it silently to his advantage? That theyre petty stupid bitches that will do shit to each other as long as its convenient to them? That they depend on each other and no one talk about it and will never ever ever express it out loud, but their inherent flaws means they need each other to continue existing? Whatever, perhaps it doesn't matter. When you're a monster that is intoxicated by the thing that you stand to oppose at every turn.
#centalks#Tempted to just tag this as centricide not gonna lie#Commie is fun hes really complex#that old man is always thinking so hard#so many turmoils#while ancap is like “how do i use this guy for as much money as possible while also annoying the shit out of him”#ancap does have weird feelings for tha guy but he doesn’t really pay thought to it#doesn't bring him money so#but he always has this nagging thought#of like#somehow convincing commie#somehow winning commie over to make capital#even if it goes against everything commie stands for#like in that commie get into the stock market vid#using commie’s traits against him to try and convince commie into his side#theyre in a weird sort of tango#wanting to kill each other but also want to prove each other flaws and stupidity and also needing each other to go on because of their own#when they look at each other the hatred is so familiar they start moving past it#like your taste buds getting used to the bitterness of food to get to other taste#saltiness.sourness.#what am i even saying?#they fuck each other in the ass okay?#typical commie’s mental turmoil and typical ancap’s manipulative opportunistic behaviours

hi! I recently came across your tgcf fics, and I wanted to say you’re a phenomenal creator. the recovery series fic and the gloves fic and just all of them. thank you for your content and great attention to detail.
do you have any thoughts/hcs on FXMQ and Xie Lian you’d be willing to share? within the original story or the universes of your fics!
Thank you so much, I'm glad you're enjoying them! (ノ*^▽^*)ノ.。:*☆
hmm, random thoughts about the FXMQ... a silly headcanon: Feng Xin has very much been hoisted by his own petard by heckling Mu Qing! That is to say, he'll harass Mu Qing relentlessly about something stupid only to be confronted with a similar situation and realise that there's absolutely NO way he can act in anyway similar to Mu Qing or he'll never hear the end of it.
(For example, he has tolerated some truly atrocious divine statues in the past because he's heckled Mu Qing so much about how picky he is with his divine statues that there's no WAY he can say ANYTHING without seeing that smug bastard's face in his head so he just has to bite his tongue and tolerate some unspeakably ugly statues.)
Mu Qing doesn't generally suffer from similar overthinking (he'll just prepare to kick FX's ass if he dares to say anything about it) except for things more directly related to himself. I think he genuinely finds sewing/embroidery/etc rather relaxing work but he'd rather die than have anyone ever see him do it because he's made such a big deal about not doing that sort of "servant" work anymore.
(He actually really enjoyed stitching Ruoye back together because it gave him the perfect excuse -- he's returning a favour!! and Xie Lian is hopeless!! of course he had to!! -- and he secretly considered using white thread to embroider some invisible little designs just because he doesn't quite want to stop... only he knew he'd get caught if he messed with Xie Lian's spiritual device like that and gave up the idea)
#tgcf#bene speaks#so anon will you send me a FXMQ hc back?? 👀 i know others have given that pair more thought than i have#though it does all make me wonder how mu qing (and feng xin) would feel about ruoye after learning about its origins#more fond or more resentful?#or guiltily realise that its been too long and they don't feel anything at all about it but wonder#if they should - if they would if they were better people#this is an irreverent goofy little idea off the top of my head but i dunno... i haven't written much with these guys yet#but i have thoughts#their entire dynamic with xie lian#the way they are so wholly in need of each other but also so intensely distanced from each other is... *chefs kiss*#none of them are REALLY friends by the end of the main series#not really#were they ever friends? proper friends? hard to say since we only have xl's pov and his pov is really biased especially in regard#to his past behaviour - he judges himself quite harshly#were they friends? did was the hierarchy between them mean that they never really COULD cross that divide?#i like to think they were and they did but still. 800 years is a long time#feng xin and mu qing have SUCH a horrifically and deliciously complicated relationship#there's so many old resentments between them + inherent ties that can't quite break + jun wu's fucking meddling#(and my GOD jun wu's meddling in that trio... would love to pick at that more... that would be a great fic#one that parallels fx/mq(/xl) and yy/qyz... give me a hurt/comfort fic that builds on that god#i am fascinated by what a renewed friendship could look like between them after 800 years now that they're all on somewhat equal footing#we got a great taste of mu qing wanting to move past old grudges and really pursue that which healed me after the wwx&jc ending in mdzs#but they all have so much baggage to shed and things to talk about... man it'd be intense#so yeah. this is a long tag ramble to say i definitely HAVE SOME FUCKING THOUGHTS about the mess that is the xianle trio (quartet)#anyway thanks for asking anon that was fun to ramble about

Even if you're an AOT hater, you have to appreciate that after so many years, they're bringing Linked Horizon, the original Guren no Yumiya band, one of the pinnacles of early weeb culture back for one last hurrahh as the anime finally ends
#I was praying theyd do this and they did. I am beyond the moon#sorry for being an AOT enjoyer I know that means I have really bad taste#but then Im also into Yugioh so like#attack on titan#I like never talk about AOT but it was the first anime I properly watched and even past the nostalgia#I think its a very well written and impactful story no matter how “overrated” it is or how toxic the fandom gets#I refuse to watch all the popular shows nowadays but man#Ive been on the AOT ride for so many years and Im not going to stop till I see the end of it

I always wondered how James Somerton could crank out such many well written video essays in such a short amount of time…
Because he’s stealing the words of literally dozens of writers who are better than him. 😀
#˚ʚ meda rants ɞ˚#can you all tell i just watched the new hbomberguy video…#i haven’t watched a james somerton video essay in a while#because his sexism towards queer women really started to leave a bad taste in my mouth#but there was a period in time about a year ago where i was recommending his content to almost every queer person i knew#and tbh i am so heartbroken#like the level of plagiarism this man has committed against his own community…#like straight up reciting wikipedia pages to a paying audience is scummy#but stealing the words and opinions and hard work of small queer writers??#and pretending it’s your own work??#it all just makes me so sad#like it’s so unserious#but also it’s not??#so many people had their work straight up stolen and aren’t seeing a cent from it#all so this soulless man can butcher it and sell it to unknowing queer people#it’s such a disservice to queer people in general and i’m sad i ever encouraged other people to watch his shit in the first place

even for period typical ableism it still drives me nuts for karen to go oh poor matt how can he deal and get around as if he hasn't been blind most of his life at this point and living on his own by himself as an adult for his entire adult life after college and has also lived in the city his whole life like girl use your damn brain he can get around by himself just fine. good god. like take five seconds to use your brain. literally adult man who lives by himself if nothing else that should tell you he is fine and when he needs assistance has the knowledge and ability to go get it you act as if he can't even walk on the sidewalk by himself. he literally shows up to work by himself. it drives me up the wall sometimes how she sees proof of him functioning fine independently literally witnesses it on the daily and still thinks these things. like again foggy isn't great either bc again the period typical ableism (and just general ableism in the world outside of this period as this is a common attitude of viewing disabled people as helpless and unable to function even if they are people who do live independently (and im not touching on people who do need extra support and caretaking in this context. as this post is about these characters in the context of a story. so im talking about what we see there instead of any truly meaningful nuanced way) but the writing here is like. Particularly this way due to the time) he has a modicum more of understanding that matt is literally a capable grown adult man. literally told karen matt is a big boy who can handle himself and then karen went b-b-but you forget he's blind as if foggy hasn't known him for years of his life and is his best friend like PLEASE SEE HIM AS AN ADULT. I AM GOING TO GO INSANE. PLEASE RESPECT HIM IF YOU LOVE HIM SO DEARLY. AND EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T. JUST RESPECT HIM AS A PERSON!!!!!!
#i think it's particularly maddening bc we have seen characters be able to understand civillian matt is like. more than just Blind Man.#i am always highly aware of period typical writing and can remember the context etc etc but sometimes.#sometimes it truly. truly does drive me up the wall. especially when other characters have been capable of not being That Level#of infantalizing. again foggy still isn't much better in a lot of respects he is just as capable of and has been as infantilizing#and insulting as karen has been. for sure. on multiple occassions. no questions asked. but i dont think he does it to the extent karen does#as in we dont see it on page just as much. it's just a bit less. so we see karen focus on it far more. to an almost exaggerated extent#part of that is the romance plot of ohhh i cannot possibly love a blind man while foggy is matt;s best friend of many years#so of course it will be in the way of the stan lee and old romance comics schools of writing that this goes down and is written like this.#of course we see her focus on it a touch more in a different way bc she's still getting to know matt and hasnt witnessed him#for about like a decade(? they met in undergrad right?) function on his own the way foggy has. but jesus christ man. good god.#at a certain point even with the period time context it does just still leave a bad taste. at certain points it becomes less eye roll#and far more maddening and hard to push down. bc it is gross. no matter what time period it is.#again. both of them are pretty disrespectful towards matt about it at this point even if mostly in their inner monologues or dialogues#with each other and not super to matt's face about it every time. but still. sometimes karen drives me far more crazy about it than foggy.#becase at least foggy can in fact recognize every now and then. matt is a perfectly capable grown man who can function and thrive.#and is someone who lives independently but also can know how to get assistance when needed.#while karen at this point has never really once given matt the benefit of that assumption despite witnessing his capabilities.#because even with his act of trying to fit the image ppl have of him. he still functions within that! and shows he can do things!#and ask for help when he needs it! even within his act of making himself smaller and quieter for others.#he's still like. adult man who lives his life. and does stuff on his own time.#i cant really speak about matt on any more deeper level than that in regards to his disabilities. i am not disabled.#i only speak as a reader and someone watching what these characters do and have proven to be able to do and how they act.#so i can only talk about karen and foggy's behaviors and attitudes in that regard.#and also as a person with like. basic understanding of other ppl living their lives. that all ppl live their own damn lives however it is#like most ppl on planet earth.#i apologize if any of my wording here is bad or if i dont talk on it well as none of this in the real world stuff is my lived experience#and you are free to go hey. incorrect. think about that or word that differently.#ok i promise im done now it's just. EUGH. UGH!!!!!#static.soundz

My reaction when I was at the grocery store today and they played "Human Touch" by Springsteen, "You Wreck Me" by Tom Petty, and "Private Eyes" by Hall and Oates:
#I love the fact that when so many of my mutuals are excited about the new Taylor Swift album I'm excited about this#please still be friends with me even though I am an old man with old man music taste#music#teddy bob's burgers

if I see one more person assert with their entire ass how punk is about libraries and glitter makeup and kindness I'm going to grind my subhumans record into an axe and start cutting heads off. motherfucker punk is a music subculture
#punk#I am so fucking annoyed by the sheer volume of 25000 note posts claiming punk to be about everything but what it actually technically is#I've been a punk for a few years and I've been studying the origins of the movement for months now#there are so many conflicting ideas within punk about our politics but the one thing we all historically share is the MUSIC TASTE#I'm not saying I *like* the bigoted asshole punks but we can't just “no true scotsman” our way out of them being our problem#you can't just tell them they aren't punk! they aren't going to say “aww man :[” and walk away like this is dora the fucking explorer#wake up and face the facts: if you want nazis out you've gotta fight them yourself. at SHOWS.#because it is a MUSIC SUBCULTURE!!!!#stop infantilizing punk to distance yourself from the punks you don't like!

Song of the Day: December 14
“He Set Her Off” by Emily Ann Roberts
#song of the day#I'll talk about yesterday's song in a second TODAY'S SONG!! so much fun oh man#I spent many hours of today dredging the last five-ish years of angry lady country music and it was so rewarding#'now the house is up in flames his clothes are on the lawn#thought she was fragile like a flower but she's fragile like a bomb / yeah he set her off'#doesn't that absolutely fuckin slap. I love that. /and/ it's bright and fast and hella fun to sing. a true delight#anyhow I missed Friday because well I missed Friday! I sort of never went to sleep Thursday and then crashed this morning#never actually shut down my work computer so it was okay that I would've forgotten to log back into it. it all works out#prrrobably the song would have been 'Some Kind of Joke' by AWOLNATION#I left my laptop on shuffle-all and it played out of my Tony Stark playlist#hit that first 'I don't know why I don't know why I don't know why' out the gate and I was like yeah you're sure right there#Duncan pointed out too the other day when it was playing how good a line 'nowhere to run when you're hiding from the truth' is#lots of solid lines the last few days. probably there'll be a larger percentage of revenge-story country in the next little bit#but also my littles are coming tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so their music tastes will also affect the songs. we shall see#oh I am still singing 'he set her off'#'she reapplies her lipstick lights are flashin red and blue / they ask her why she did it she said 'honey you would too''#what a fuckin bop

'here's your report boss' '(that one meme of dwight theoffice being startled.png'#but like with way higher stakes it won't be THAT boring#like im p sure the Needed Thing is avery would have to BLATANTLY betray what's left of the inq#and part of the operation is in itself sacrificing that piece on the board as it were#sigh. maybe solas highly suspected but didn't let him think about it too hard because goddamn he NEEDED someone that deep in the IC for this#and we all know his denial game can be off the fucking charts#and then it's like#'WHO ELSE WOULD IT FUCKING BE???'#whatever man#this shit isn't even going to be properly drafted for like... years. if i even get that far#sigh. much to consider#if you're still reading this come get your card punched. turn in 10 to get me to shut the fuck up
