I’m a neuroscientist who works with animals. I never wanted to do animal research even as I became more and more passionate about neuroscience in college. But it became clear to me that, if I wanted to help alleviate suffering in the world through my knowledge of neuroscience, it was what I needed to do.

I’ve always believed that animal research is unethical. As many people have pointed out in the comments, no animal can consent to be experimented on. And we know that no animal would choose to get cancer, get injured, or even just live their life in a small enclosure.

What I’ve settled on, then, is that I believe that animal research is unethical, but it is necessary. I’ve worked in cell culture labs and know quite a bit about organoid research (basically when you make a little organ in a dish). The questions one can ask in those research models are vastly limited compared to the questions I can ask in my models.

For example, I can learn about the effect of brain injury treatments on learning and memory; my colleagues that use organoids could never do that. Due to my research, if someone goes to a hospital with a brain injury, a doctor might have more knowledge of the effects of treatments and could minimize the distress and long-term effects the patient might experience.

I hope that, someday, we don’t need animal research. But for now, I do it to help improve lives and cure diseases. I work hard to make sure that no animal’s life is taken in vain. And every time I have to euthanize an animal, I hold them close, apologize to them, and thank them for all that they do for us. It’s not enough, but it’s all that I can do.

the cognitive dissonance from people who want the products of modern medicine but get weird about animal research. like im sorry but this is necessary for the survival of the society we currently live in. and the scientists who work on these things are not evil cackling psychopaths. anyone you talk to in animal research has incredibly complex feelings about their work and incredibly complex relationships to the animals in their care. there are regulations and oversight and penalties in place to make the work as humane as possible and scientists are overwhelmingly the ones enforcing and advocating for better care.

So, if the Smile Dip Dog swaps with Bill, did he still destroy his own dimension? A dimension full of colorful talking animals? Because I’ve gotta say, that already sounds even sadder.

Right on the money boss!

Here's how I think it'd go!

First off the zodiac, this initially was the way that the beast was split and banished to the astral plane.

Now that this is here, I can list out all the main swaps hoho!

Dipper ⇆ Stan

Mabel ⇆ Ford

Wendy ⇆ Lazy Jane

Soos ⇆ Manly Dan

Abuelita ⇆ Tyler

Pacifica ⇆ Fiddleford

Gideon ⇆ Bud and mrs Gleeful (little villain couple to rival the stan duo)

Robbie ⇆ Preston

THE BEAST ⇆ BILL CYPHER

The pups are silly and playful in nature, opting to try and make things as brightly coloured and 'fun' as possible. Though this usually results in freakish abominations that do things that really shouldn't be done. Though they're not stupid, they know exactly what they're doing and how it effects others- It's mainly just for their own enjoyment.

After destroying their universe full to the brim of brightly coloured talking animals, 'The Beast' was split into halves and banished to the astral plane. This meant their reality warping abilities was whittled down to being intense illusions and hallucinations, however they typically tend to use it to try and restore their original look when they are seen by people- though that only works for a short time.

Pretty much anyone could theoretically see the dogs, either through extreme meditation or having a suspiciously high amount of sugar in your system. Safe to say, a food company having a suspicious amount of complaints from parents saying their kids are now 'unresponsive', 'babbling gibberish and mysteriously disappearing' or were 'seeing God and He's a Dog' was enough to get the entire line of candy shut down. Mabel was unlucky enough to stumble onto some smile dip during a late night work session and met the pups. They quickly bonded and the pups were leading Mabel to the weirdness left right and centre, with the end goal of opening a 'weirdness rift'.

A portal.

Safe to say, Mabel couldn't do this on her own. She's smart but not- dimensional science smart. So she called on the smartest person she knew, her twin brother Mason. At this time, Mason wasn't really doing as well as he could have, being attracted to the extraordinary he was prone to being the laughing stock of his university- but a solid breakthrough. Money wasn't an issue, especially when Mabel's old friend Pacifica was willing to help lend a hand and be on site (despite lying about her financial security in order to help her friends). So- the three of them set to building the portal.

Due to unknown circumstances, Pacifica leaves the project. When Mabel finally realises the true intention of the portal and tries to shut it down, Mason is reluctant to do this- fearing that it may be sabotaging his last chance at being recognised for his scientific works and being slightly jealous that Mabel found all of the weirdness instead of him. Either way, a small fight happens, ending with Mabels disappearance, leaving her scrapbooks behind.

The project failed and the pups still aren't free, but it's a matter of time before someone eventually sets them free

I'm litterally figuring out the timeline as I write but some things are set in stone. I'm just figuring out how to show it all off- I did get alot of outsite help for this too ^^

How would y'all feel about comics? or animations? What particular scenes? I feel like tackling this bit by bit would be the most effective way to go about it, especially for what the world is like in this flipped version.

I dunno this is my first time doing something like this umm, if this doesn't make sense lmk and I'll revise some stuff

umm

bazzinga, thanks for yer question ^^

Best Friend!Theodore Nott x Fem!Reader

Angsty but a Happy Ending, kinda college AU but not important, some Fluff, no real warnings besides language.

Kinda trying a newish style so lmk if it’s better or worse or if you don’t mind either way.

Summary: When your best friend Theo sleeps with your childhood bully in a moment of weakness, wanting you.

Theo Nott had never had a shortage of girls at his disposal. He could have fun whenever he wanted. With whoever he wanted. So why wasn’t he having fun without her here. She was mad at him, he knew that, but he never would have thought she’d missed his celebration party. He had basically just won the team their whole match for fucks sake. So where the hell was she?

Okay, maybe he had crossed a line last night but she would have said something if she was mad enough to skip his party….right? It wasn’t like he hadn’t been with girls around her before. He didn’t realize his feet were carrying him to her dorm room until he was already banging on the cracking wood and breathing heavily as he spoke, “Come on y/n/n you gotta come out and celebrate with me.”

The door creaked open only a slit, a smile quickly painting his face as her gorgeous eyes he feared he’d never see again peaked around it, “Hey you,” He said through his smile, “Are you gonna come out to the party?” His face fell as he attempted to enter the room, only for the door to be held firm making him chuckle nervously, eyeing what he could see of her.

“Um I’m actually a bit tired and I think-“ The sound of a distinctly familiar chuckle had his eyebrows shooting up his face, only now was he realizing the scent of overly expensive cologne….and arrogance. Her eyes shut tightly as she huffed out in annoyance, allowing Theo to shove into her dorm room to see Draco Malfoy perched shirtless on her bed as though he was the king of the world. For some reason he couldn’t stomach the sight of it, him, his teammate, his friend, on the bed he spent most of his weekends on, his safe space for him and his favorite girl.

“We were a little busy Theo so if you don’t mind.” Draco propped himself up as he spoke, using her favorite stuffed animal, which he himself had won her a few summers ago and he snapped. “Get the fuck out.” He didn’t understand why he took it so personally, Draco probably didn’t even know the little cat was y/n’s favorite which made it all the more infuriating, “Get your fucking shirt and get out or I will throw you out Malfoy, and we both already know who will win that fight.”

Draco laughed as he yanked his shirt off the floor before shooting a wink in y/n’s direction and slipping out the door still half naked while Theo slammed it behind him. “What the fuck were you thinking, Draco fucking Malfoy, seriously?!” Her face was shocked but angry, so angry his breath picked up and his heart raced as he tried to calm down and speak softly. For a long moment the room was nearly silent, she was waiting for him to speak but he couldn’t.

She scoffed at him before starting up, “Oh so you can get with whoever you want but I can’t, is that how this works now?” Her eyes were watering, he could see them glistening but she didn’t let the tears fall and he couldn’t hold his own back if she hadn’t as well. “It’s Draco y/n. He’s just using you.”

“Okay? And maybe I’m using him too, maybe I just wanted him to fuck my brains out like he promised,” The thought had bile rising up his throat as anger began to overtake him, “Maybe I just wanted to forget the image of you fucking Pansy Parkinson at a party you threw for me!”

She huffed at him as her eyes rolled, he couldn’t form words, he didn’t know what to say, it’s not like the truth would be any good. He had fucked Pansy and of course he knew somewhere deep down she would be mad but he couldn’t admit he was only with Pansy that night because he wanted y/n. It was a pitiful excuse and made no sense even to him, he was looking for her, he wanted her and he was finally going to tell her. But there she was. Dancing and laughing and having fun without him. He needed her, in every meaning of the word, his world would crash and burn without y/n but hers would go on spinning, clearly. It could have been any girl really but Pansy was there and he didn’t think.

The look on y/n’s face when she walked in on them hurt him more than anything he could imagine. She had come looking for him. To spend the rest of the party with him he guessed, and he hated himself for ruining it. “Are you gonna say anything?! You fucked the girl who made my life hell for years at Hogwarts Theo, did you even think about how that would make me feel? How that would make this friendship look?” She hadn’t called him anything but Teddy in years and somehow it was that which broke him. He was crying now, stumbling over failed sentences as he tried to explain.

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry you’re right I didn’t think. I was looking for you and I- I fuck you were right there and I should have come up to you anyway but you were so happy and you didn’t need me.” His words spewed out uncontrollably, he didn’t know he could feel half the things he felt for her and he couldn’t explain most but he would keep going until she kicked him out, “You never needed me, you’re so perfect and independent and I rely on you so much, I can barely get out of bed without you waking me up.” He watched her face as she watched his, she was hurt and confused but listening nonetheless so he continued.

“I don’t know when to stop okay, and that’s not an excuse it’s not I just needed someone….I needed you and I wanted you and I couldn’t have you, and when I went to leave she was there and she wanted me and I’m such an idiot I know that. I’m so fucking sorry I didn’t even think of how she bullied you all those years ago and I’m such a bad friend, you deserve better you really do.” He fell to his knees as her tears dripped down her cheeks to the floor, he couldn’t stop his own sobs as he cradled his face in his hands, “I can’t lose you.” He mumbled through his tears as he heard her feet shuffle around.

He jolted, eyes finding hers much closer than expected as her warm hand cradled his shoulder, “I don’t want to forgive you, but I love you and I need you more than you know, the only reason I’m so calm without you is because I have to balance out your insanity.” You chuckled through tears, “I can’t be mad at you for sleeping with her, you’re both adults and we were all children when we started at Hogwarts and it’s been long enough that we can leave that in it’s corridors. It….it just hurt because….I” She sighed before she continued, “I was jealous, and I didn’t know how to tell you. I wasn’t really mad because you fucked Pansy, I’d be mad if I walked in on you with anyone….because they aren’t me Teddy.”

His heart broke as he heard her, he wanted to be with her since he was a child, he loved her in more ways he thought possible and every time he thought it was done growing he found a way to love her more. And now he knew she felt the same.

And they were roommates

(Captain John price x F!reader)

Summary: the captain wants somewhere more homely to settle down and when an offer like yours comes alight on Zillow he must take up on it.

Warnings: separation, flirtatious commentary, mentions of sex (lmk if anymore

part 1 - part 2 - part 3 - part 4 - part 5 - part 6- part 7 - part 8 - Part 9 - part 10 - part 11 - part 12 - part 13

--------------------------------------------------------------

“There’s our love stricken captain.” Gaz says as John finally appears through the heavy compound doors. As they all look at him it's very noticeable he’s in love, their captain looks well, the boys all assumed the bags under his eyes were permanent but looking at him they seem to be fully gone and all his features look brighter. 

“Come on let's debrief.” is all he says while walking to his office, the three men immediately rise from where they were sitting and follow behind him.

“Pants looking extra snug captain.” soap mutters.

“Yeah it's called happiness son, ever heard of it?” John swifty jabs back, swinging the empty room door open.

“No, unfortunately I have not.” 

“And stop looking at my ass.” John says while sliding manilla folders across the table as their hands each reach for one.

“Yeah Johnny, stop looking at the captain's ass.” gaz adds.

“I wasn't!” soap says flipping the folder open harshly.

“Back to business.” John says as he begins speaking through their plan of attack.

—------

“How’d the missus take it?” john likes the term simon uses to refer to you, gives him hope that one day you will be his Mrs.

“Good, at least that's what she made it seem like.” Simon  reads right through the soft frown that covers his captain's face, it wasn’t easy for him.

“Did she cry?” Simon says as the both come to a halt scanning their access cards to the armory.

“A little, felt like a fucking bullet to the chest.” 

“At least you know she actually likes you.” Simon was never good at comforting people but that outright made his captain laugh.

“Yeah at least, not like sharing moments of intimacy in our own world and exchanging words of endearment was enough.” John's smile creases at the side of his eyes as he lightly shoves Simon's shoulder.

 —------------

Back at home you slept until late in the evening only waking up from your buzzing phone vibrating under your pillow. Not checking who it is because quite frankly you don't care, you press the phone to your ear with a sigh.

“Hello.”

“Doll?” you sit up looking at the name on your phone it’s an unidentified number then you realize immediately pressing it back to your ear.

“John!” 

“Yeah, everything alright?” he worriedly replies.

“Yes I was just sleeping.” you say softly smiling tears already filling your eyes.

“Alone I hope.” 

“Want a picture?” you say seductively. 

“On this government issued phone? Absolutely.” He cracks a smile at the sound of your laugh, his task force stares at him like he’s a zoo animal, inspecting closely, especially the soldiers who don’t know him as anything apart from brutal.

“I'm actually calling to let you know I'll be on a helicopter for the next couple of hours and don’t know when I'll be able to contact you again.” he says, turning around to view the sunset, the same one he knows cascades your guys’ room in a beautiful shade of orange.

“Okay, stay safe, call me when you can, and I love you a lot and I don't even know what to say.” your charm travels through the phone like electricity and he just wants to kiss your face.

“I love you, keep safe till then. I left my card on top of the kitchen table for anything and everything. Please use it.” you sigh and he can practically see you shaking your head. He couldn’t promise his safety when he basically sold it once he began this occupation.

“John you slick man, you don't have to do things like that.” you say as the helicopter rotors start spinning.

“Yeah but I do, gotta go doll talk soon.”

“Bye hon.” With that he hears the click, biting the inside of his cheek as anxiety creeps its way up his neck, he’ll be far from you further than ever and can only pray for your safety instead of ensuring it and it makes him sick.

—-----------------

You moped, and good god was it humiliating, you'd been a single independent lady for years before meeting john but now it was like being put into an isolated home after living in new york city. There was nothing to do, you cleaned, cooked, painted but nothing was curing the pure ache of boredom and yearning. 

The morning after his departure was single handedly the hardest, the weight of his body creased beside you, keeping you warm even in little clothes, his breathing that'd softly blow atop your head had not been there.

Still no call you disappointedly noticed when you hurriedly checked your phone when it had started buzzing, just a spam call you sigh rolling out of bed and heading to the bathroom.

“I should call my sister.” you say to yourself in the mirror with a small nod. Happily walking back to bed you dial the phone.

“Hey stranger, been a while.” she says with subtle amusement.

“It's been like four days?” you smile.

“That's a lifetime ago.”

“Want to come over, stay for a bit?” you ask for the first time in a long time.

“I don't kn-”

“Please.” 

“Yeah, I'll try to catch the next train. Let me pack some clothes and I'll call you back.” when she hangs up you sigh in relief, nothing in this world could cure loneliness like spending time with her.

—------------

“So you’re trying to tell me YOU HAVEN'T HAD SEX!” soap exclaims.

“I didn’t say that I said I'm not disclosing my personal intimate life with you.” John says while huffing on a cigar tired of being in this goddamn helicopter with a four year old.

“Same thing.” 

“Johnny shut up good grief.” Gaz says, rubbing his forehead in defeat when Johnny starts up again.

“You guys are so boring, how much time do we have left anyways.” he sighs out dramatically.

“An hour.” Simon replies.

“Oh so he speaks.” Johnny happily says looking at Simon with wide eyes waiting for a response. Pindrop silence overtakes the cabin.

“Or maybe he doesn’t.”

𝐇𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐥 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦

A/N: ughhh ikr 🤤😔 ik this goes without saying (hopefully) but y'all don't cheat 😵‍💫 read fiction about ur fave anime boys cheating with u instead lmao

Wc ≈ 800

Pairing: TOJI Fushiguro x f.reader

Summary: you and Toji getting up to no good in your favorite hotel room

Warnings; 🔞 mdni, smut, infidelity, pns (baby, slut, bitch) cheating kink, slight size kink, nasty dirty talk, slightly mean/rough Toji, taking condom off (mutually consensual), breeding kink, slight hairpulling, one ass slap (why is it always just ONE lmao), kinda rough/manhandling but not rlly, daddy kink, prone bone/from the back, lmk if i have missed anything <3

♪ i keep going back to this hotel room...

Damn you, he thinks while squeezing himself into a condom that’s very slightly too small for his size.

You’re to blame – to blame for being spellbinding, bewitching, entrancing, irresistible, alluring… he never thought about straying until you showed up one day in the office, pretty smile and naughty glint in your eyes.

“Fuck me…” he seethes when he sinks into your tight pussy – so happily spreading your legs for him on the hotel bed. With how many times you two have come and gone through this room on weekends, you’re pretty sure the receptionist has figured out what happens behind those closed doors.

“ ‘s so fucking sexy when you arch your back like that for me, pretty thing.” Toji grunts, splitting you wide open on his cock. “ ‘missed me?” he asks cheekily, feeling how much you’re gushing for him after such simple touching earlier – he had kissed you like he was starved of the taste of your lips, touched you like he’s never laid hands on a female form before. It made sense why he acted so needy, you hadn’t seen him for two weekends straight after all.

“Mhm! Missed you so much…” you moan into the pillow, bringing your hands down to spread your pussylips so you can take his cock better.

His cockhead always glides in so nicely, but halfway in his length got so thick that your pussy just spat his cock out. He always chuckles when it does.

“ ‘been too long, baby, ‘gotta stretch out that pussy all over again. Make it remember daddy’s cock.”

Toji tightly pins your waist down into the mattress, just feeling a fraction of his strength turns you on. Yeah, you’ve met strong guys before – but Toji was fucking strong. He could toss you into any position he wanted, he could make you feel weightless at times.

Those calloused hands know your body better than your own. He knows which sweet spots to his to make you cream, what pace makes you claw at his biceps, what dirty talk makes you cum. He knows everything about your body. He almost doesn’t wanna admit it, but he knows your body better than his own wife’s.

“Fuckin’ slut, look at you going dumb on my dick already. Keep it together, we just started.” He chuckled meanly, giving your ass an encouraging smack to bring you back to earth. “What? ‘This position too much for you?” he asked rhetorically – because he knew damn well that you couldn’t handle him pressing his weight onto you from behind like this.

“Nooo, I can take it!” you squeak, biting the hotel pillow as you hug it for support. He always feels so good that you need some form of comfort. The feeling of his fat tip nudging against your sweet spot and throbbing there makes you say some nasty shit that makes him smirk. “Fuuuck – just fuck me alre – fuuuck, mhm! Like that! Like that!” you sob into the pillow when he fulfils your wishes and pounds into you from behind like an animal.

He grabs a fistful of your hair and gently pulls your head back, making his lips meet your ear – scar grazing against your skin. “Don’t go all quiet on me. I know how fucking nasty you are – what’ve you been wanting to tell me huh? I know you missed me bad.”

His cockhead hits the spot that makes you spill the truth. “Fuuuck – daddy fuck me like I’m yours.” You said, “F-fuck me like I’m your wife.”

“Shit… dirty fuckin’ bitch, you talk like that and you’re gonna make me cum.” He breathes heavily into your ear, sweat already beading off his abdomen with his intensely he’s rutting into you. “You really like me, huh? Haha, yeah, I know – it’s so cute. So cute that you cum so much on this cheating cock. Uh-huh, don’t get shy on me now – we both know we get off on that. Just be honest with yourself – there we go, that wasn’t so hard to admit, was it?”

He groans, big arms entangling with your body. You can feel his muscles twitching, you can smell the scent of his cologne and sweat and sex all mixing in the air. And him? He’s burying his head into the crook of your neck to inhale your scent. Your perfume drives him nuts, it makes him dizzy like he’s some lovesick teenager.

Everything he holds back from telling you, he admits when he’s pussy-drunk and about to cum. “Fuck, sweet thing, ‘wanna give you a baby. D’you want that? Yeah? F-fuck really? You sure? You want my babies? Shit alright, I’ll give you a fucking baby t’night. Don’t tell her it’s mine.” He said, tugging his cock out of your pussy despite your walls hugging him like they were trying to keep him in there forever.

You reach behind you and pull off the condom yourself, and he just watches, half-drooling at the sight, before plunging back inside you and doing what he promised – giving you his babies.

LMK SHIP Headcanons cause art block is KILLING MEEEEEEEEEEE🎀

Shadowpeach:

Wukong is a morning person. Macaque is NOT. Wukong tries to sneak out of bed in the morning but Macaque has an iron grip on him.

Wukong loves to paint so Macaque will force himself to go into civilization so he can get Wukong NICE paints.

Wukong when he wants to, likes to make new deserts and snack recipes. He has Macaque try all of them so he has a tester. Macaque likes the free snacks.

Wukong likes doing makeup so when Macaque lets him he’ll try new looks on Macaque.

Macaque CLINGS onto Wukong at parties. He doesn’t want to be there or talk to anyone so he sticks with Wukong.

Macaque once made Wukong cry when he tried joking with him when he was overstimulated. He IMMEDIATELY felt bad and still hasn’t forgot about it. (This actually happened to me)

Macaque fell first AND harder.

Wukong likes to bite. Not hard but he likes to just nibble. Macaque likes it WAY too much. He’s a freak.

Macaque doesn’t like fireworks because of how loud they are. Wukong won’t set fireworks off when Macaque is on the mountain.

They have drawing sessions together.

Freenoodles:

Tang stares at Pigsy when he cooks. There’s something so mesmerizing about his husband just cooking peacefully. He’d genuinely rather watch Pigsy than any tv show.

Pigs nuzzle to show affection. That’s why Pigsy and Tang nuzzle so much.

Pigsy has a wedding ring but he doesn’t keep it on when he cooks. Tang WILL NOT take it off. He bagged Pigsy and will not stop showing it.

They like to watch cheesy rom coms together. They laugh at them and then fall asleep on the couch.

Tang is surprisingly REALLY jealous. Not in a TikTok dark romance way, more like a whiny baby way. He knows Pigsy isn’t going to cheat on him cause he trusts him so much but it bothers him if a customer gets to close for his comfort. Pigsy isn’t jealous at all. Like no jealous bone in his body. You could hit on Tang right in front of him and he knows Tang would freak out more.

Pigsy was a MUCH more strict parent. Tang is a VERY played back dad.

Tang didn’t know how to express affection when he and Pigsy started dating so he just spoiled him with gifts.

They are a very old married couple. They lay in bed at night in their pjs. Tang reads Jttw while Pigsy watches Chang’es cooking show.

Tang comes up with the CHEESIEST pickup lines and Pigsy still loves him for some reason.

They like to tease and annoy each other but they love each other.

Spicynoodles:

Redson straightens his hair a lot so most people don’t see his curly hair. Mk LOVES Redsons curly hair and BEGS him not to straighten it.

Redson doesn’t like to share his food but she’ll give Mk just a little bit if he asks.

Mk basically lays on top of Redson when they’re in bed during the winter. Redson is basically a free heater.

Redson is Mk’s muse. He draws him constantly but he’s to shy to show her.

Mk tries to show off for Redson when they’re at the arcade. He’ll try and impress him by getting a slam dunk but the ball rick a shays off the backboard and hits him.

Redson is sensitive to touch because they’re afraid that their fire will burn people. When they start dating Mk wears more layers + fire proof gloves so that he can be all up on Red.

While rain makes Redsons hair go flat and straight, rain doesn’t hurt him. Mk INSISTS on making sure he’s ALWAYS under an umbrella so that she doesn’t get wet. Redson won’t admit it but she finds it sweet.

Redson likes to cook, a hobby he got from DBK and Wukong, so he makes Mk food as a sign of affection.

Redson has a 15 steps hair and skin routine. Mk puts on his headband and leaves the house. The man’s skin is like sandpaper.

Both like horror movies but BOTH get scared at the jump scares.

Dragonfruit:

Mei sends Redson all kinds of videos about cute animals. Redson once replied with a heart and Mei fell in love.

Mei would say “Sorry guys, I gotta get home to the wife!” And then go see Redson.

Mei’s parents LOVE Redson. Whenever she comes home they ask where Red is.

Mei spoils Redson with gifts. It’s her love language. Redson tries to do out in return but Mei won’t let him.

The two like to race. They race along beaches or deserted roads. It’s bonding time for them.

Redson fell first, Mei fell harder.

Redson gets up earlier to complete their routines and start work. You’ll be lucky to see Mei before 11 am.

Both are judgy as HELL. They shit talk anyone who dares to walk by.

Mei types using emojis, Redson uses :( :/ :o

Mei will use ANY opportunity to talk about how her and Redson got together.

Chimera:

Mei sleeps on the left, Redsons in the middle, Mk is on the right. They make one big cuddle pile.

They all have movie nights. Trashy rom coms, horror, tragedy’s. They watch them all.

Mk has perfected Mei and Redsons coffee orders.

They started a plushie collection. Any time anyone wins or buys a plushie, it goes in the collection.

Mk and Mei wear boxers and t shirts to bed. Redson wears one of those big frilly robes to sleep.

Mk and Mei like to mess around with Redsons hair cause it’s so much longer than theirs.

When Mei is experimental with her style, Mk and Redson are supportive.

Mei and Redson hang up Mks drawings of them.

“What do you see in those two?” “They make me laugh.”

I finished writing these at 1 am. I have school. What am I doing.

NINJAGO + MONKIE KID

I am very motivated atm. God. Drawing feels great.

I want to see a crossover with them so bad.

I haven't seen Monkie Kid but I've seen clips and I love the art and animation, and I'm interested to know the story. I think I got the gist.

But I've read this fic where MK and Kai are twins and children of Shadowpeach and I gotta say I'm in love. I hope it updates soon. I gotta see the Samadhi Fire scene with that cuz yknow, Kai is the Mater of Fire. I am so pumped.

Its funny how MK is basically the older twin but Kai is older than him in the drawing. I like that gi, okay?

Star Twins? I like to imagine Kai's fire originating from the stars and sun rather than the Earth since Cole already has lava.

MK is already a star.

Star Twins :,)

If y'all got fic recs of Ninjago x LMK pls send them. I need them so bad.

living on a farm with abby & having a pet lamb 🧍🏾‍♀️ I’m so delusional

so cute :,) sorry this took so long to post! loving farmer!abby should i make this like an actual fic serious instead of just hcs? lmk!! <3 18+ under cut. men + minors = blocked. 💘💘💘

♡ farmer!abby who brought you home a pet lamb one day after you’d been begging her for weeks. “a pet lamb for my little lamb,” she’d tell you as you squeal with delight.

♡ her pet names for you include: ‘baby, little lamb, darlin’, doll, and sweetheart’.

♡ she’d build you a little garden area to grow your favorite flowers. she looks forward to the new bouquet you make each week out of them for the kitchen table vase!

♡ farmer!abby is obsessed with the days you just wear one of her white wife beaters (she calls them pleasers) and panties around. she bought you ones with lil white bows to match with her tanks.

♡ she started growing fresh vegetables and fruits once you two started dating. she loves being able to grow and give you the ingredients you need to bake! + you bake her favorite things for her as a thank you.

♡ farmer!abby is allllll about that fresh produce. she often uses what she grows to cook for you! she’ll cheekily tell you she wants you for dessert. even if it’s silly, it still gets you going. “since i made dinner, you can be my dessert.”

♡ sticks to her usual uniform of white tank, blue jeans, and boots while she’s out and about dealing with farm tasks. the way her arms look in her tops will always make you feel a lil feral…

♡ farmer!abby is the best with animals. in fact, she loves to rehab recuse animals when someone calls her about it. the few farm animals you have are all recuse fails. she just loves them so much— how could you say no to her puppy dog eyes?!

♡ farmer!abby will call you outside just so she can fuck you. she likes to see how loud she can make you because she knows it’s just the two of you around for a few acres.

♡ she’s a soft dom at heart! she loves that you let her take control while she makes you fall apart. she’ll make you cum as many times as you want, however you want when you’ve been extra sweet. “my pretty girl. just taking me so good, aren’t you, darlin? that’s it baby, just take it. i think you can cum just one more time for me, yeah?“

♡ but if you’re acting out? she won’t put up with it. she knows you’re her sweet girl, so she expects you to act like it. “what happened to my sweet doll? you know that i gotta teach you a lesson now, don’t ya? lay on your stomach, ass up. now.”

♡ her strap? makes you see god practically every time. abby’s an expert at knowing how to hit that sweet spot inside of you. “yeah? right there? you look so good riding me.” she definitely comes from fucking you when the strap rubs against her just right. and yes, she’s the type to say “save a horse, ride a cowboy”

♡ she’ll have you on your knees when you’re eating her out. something about the way you look up at her through your ruined mascara eyelashes does something to her. she’ll even have you sticking your tongue out so she can fuck your face. hands pulling you closer by your hair n all.

The Ruins of Us: Chapter 17

summary: You finally step outside after days of recovery, but your curiosity leads you into a dangerous situation that nearly takes your life. Why you thought it was smart to let them lower you into the water to catch the well walker, who knows. In a flashback, you and Shane are at a drive-in movie, where his attempts at intimacy clash with your lingering hurt over the Daryl situation, sparking more of Shane’s frustration.

no warnings apply, lmk if I missed any

x flash forward x 

Your curiosity was too strong as you debated going outside into the warm summer air. Like the last few hours of evening sun were beckoning you to come outside. You peek out the window pane on the front door and decide to hell with it. Rick sits at the bottom of the steps as you carefully slip out barefoot onto the porch, the creak of the wood giving you away.

“Ah, hey,” he says quietly, turning towards you while fiddling with his sheriff’s hat, “good to see you up on your feet,”

You smile back and join him, sitting on the second-to-last step. The sun hangs lower in the sky, casting long evening shadows over the farm. You glance around, taking in the surroundings—a beaten-up old barn off to the right, the dirt driveway snaking away through pastures of animals. The peacefulness feels like a distant memory, one you didn’t think you’d find again. You smile to yourself, you’ll definitely be making a trip to the stables when your body can make the journey.

“How’re you?” you ask Rick softly, turning to him, “How’s Carl?”

He smiles warmly to you, “Doin’ just fine, we’re very grateful to Hershel and his family,”

His kindness settles over you like a blanket. Where Lori’s eyes were cold and sharp, Rick’s are gentle and welcoming. You feel comforted in his presence. But before you can say more, footsteps draw your attention to the left. Daryl appears in the distance, his crossbow slung over his shoulder, heading toward the woods.

“Daryl,” Rick calls to him.

Daryl pauses and looks toward the sound of Rick’s voice. He sees you sitting next to him on the steps, and holds your eyes for a long moment while Rick asks, “You okay on your own?”

Daryl’s eyes swivel to Rick as he gets up off the stairs to walk towards him.

“‘m better on ma own,” Daryl calls, turning away again, “I’ll be back before dark,” 

“Hey!” Rick calls to him with more authority in his tone, “we got a base. We can get this search properly organized now,”

“You gotta point or are we just chatting?” Daryl starts approaching Rick. Your eyes roll at his rudeness. He always had such a way with words.

“My point,” Rick continues ignoring the tone, “is it lets you off the hook. You don’t owe us anything,”

You catch his eye as he glances at you, “yeah well, my other plans fell through,” he turns away quickly to the woods. Your brow furrows, confusion filling your head. You knew he was uncomfortable when you said goodbye earlier, but didn’t think it’d made an impact so much he would rather avoid you. Maybe he was just saying that to save face in front of the others, but it still made your mind race with uncertainty.

An older man steps onto the patio then, walking down the stairs, “feelin better?”

You look up to him and realize he’s talking to you, “Uh, yes sir,” you say, uncertain. You realize this must be Hershel, and you quickly stand, holding the railing for support.

“Y/N, this is Hershel, this is his farm. He patched you up when you and…when you got shot,” Rick explains.

“Oh,” you say timidly, feeling a sudden surge of gratitude, “thank you…for everything. Your home is beautiful,” you shake his hand with a small smile.

“You’re very welcome,” he says back, his smile mirroring yours. His tone is gentle but formal.

Rick begins, “we can give you some space,” and Hershel turns his head to listen, dropping your hand, “could set up over by the barn,” 

Hershel shakes his head, descending the stairs. “No need for that. Better you stay close to the house,” he replies, but there’s a shift in his tone. His eyes narrow as he meets Rick’s gaze, standing in front of him now, “But I don’t say this lightly, Rick.”

Rick straightens, sensing something coming.

“We don’t normally take in strangers,” Hershel says, his voice steady but firm. “I can’t have your people thinking this is permanent.”

Rick’s jaw ticks as he listens intently and Hershel continues: “We don’t normally take in strangers. I can’t have your people thinking this is permanent.”

Your heart sinks. The thought of leaving here…leaving this sanctuary of peace. 

“Once you find that girl and when your boy and this woman are fit for travel,” he says, his hand motioning toward you, “I expect you’ll move on,” 

As Hershel walks away, Rick exhales heavily beside you, his shoulders slumping with the weight of it all. He glances at you, offering a small, weary smile before heading off, leaving you alone with your thoughts.

—

As you enjoy the warmth of the sun on your face from the porch a little while longer, you watch two people in the distance–you can make out T-Dog’s glistening dark skin in the evening light, his broad shoulders working out the well water. Dale must've been next to him, the Hawaiian shirt and bucket hat unmistakeable. But suddenly Dale is running to T-Dog, knocking something out of his hands. You stand abruptly, a sharp pain stabbing your side. 

“Guys,” you call out to the others at their campsite. A few heads swivel to you, and follow your finger pointing out to the paddock. Dale is making his way over to the group, bee lining to Shane. Dale is tense, talking quickly and pointing to where T-Dog stands. You see them share words, and you can see even from here how Shane’s wide eyes stare out to the well in the pasture.

When they all start making their way to the field, you hurriedly make your way to follow behind them, Glenn eyeing you as you catch up. “I’m fine,” you say softly, but with a sternness to your voice. He just nods and widens his pace to run ahead.

As you approach the open well, the sloshing of water echoes up from its depths, an unsettling sound in the otherwise still air. Peering over the wooden beams that cross the top, your stomach drops at the ungodly sight below. There’s a walker half-submerged in the water, its skin grotesquely swollen and bloated from days, maybe weeks, spent decomposing in the well. Its flesh is stretched tight, a sickly blue hue, waterlogged and decaying. When it senses movement above, its pale eyes snap upward, and it snarls, teeth bared in a mindless rage.

You wince at the sight and look up, only to lock eyes with Shane. His gaze is dark, his jaw clenched. The anger in his eyes makes your heart stutter.

“The hell you doin’ out here?” Shane hisses from across the well, his voice barely controlled.

You swallow, feeling the weight of everyone else’s eyes on you. "Wanted to see what it was," you admit quietly.

“You should get your ass back in bed,” Shane growls, the words full of warning, though his gaze never leaves you.

The group is still discussing the walker at the bottom of the well—what to do, how to get it out. They need to get it out alive. Shooting it would contaminate the water. But Shane’s glare is still burning into you, and you can feel his frustration with your presence. Finally, though, he seems to give in, muttering under his breath but allowing you to stay.

“How do we get it out?” Glenn asks, looking between the group.

“Bait,” you say simply.

A piece of raw pork swings down the well with a noose in front of it as Shane tries to entice the walker. But it's no use, and you all seem to have the same horrifying realization at once. Dead bait wasn’t nearly as enticing as live, squirming, screaming bait. Your heart hammers in your chest when they start looking at you. You know what’s coming next.

–

This was a stupid idea. A god damn stupid, stupid plan. Before long, the rope is looped around your waist, and Glenn is tying a snug knot, his hands working fast but carefully. “You’ll be fine,” he assures you, his eyes meeting yours for a brief moment. He looks sincere, but the knot in your stomach only tightens. He was originally going to go down into the well, but you all decided you would be lighter and might have better aim when it came to tying the noose around its neck. To Shane’s constant chagrin, he begrudgingly agreed to you going down, on the agreement he’d be in front pulling the rope to be sure it was held onto tight. 

The rope creaks and strains as they slowly lower you into the well. The air feels heavy and wet, clinging to your skin as you descend. Your breaths come in short, sharp gasps, each one loud in your ears as it bounces off the stone walls, slick with condensation. You press your bare feet against the cold, slimy rocks, trying to keep your balance as they lower you deeper into the well’s darkness.

Should’ve worn shoes. You gripe to yourself.

You look down at the disgusting creature below you. Blue and soggy with streaks of blood coming from it. It’s probably already contaminated the water. 

This was such a stupid idea. 

You swing the noose below your legs, trying to aim for its neck. 

“Little lower,” Maggie’s voice calls down, but just as you look up at the sound of her voice—

Suddenly you’re falling, and you’re falling fast.

You barely hear the other’s screams as your own rip from your throat, piercing the water logged air. You're kicking furiously away from the walker, trying your damnedest to keep your very-ready-to-eat flesh away from it. Your hands clutch the rope so hard it's burning your skin, but you hardly notice, adrenaline surging through your veins. 

The walker is hissing and gurgling, swiping its nasty swollen hands at you. You gasp for air between screams, the stench of death so strong it makes your stomach lurch. 

The pain on your side is so intense, but you grit your teeth down hard. You weren’t going to come down here again, dammit. Your hands fumble around the rope as your whole body shakes with absolute fear, and you find the noose, and pray to god for a short moment. But you steady yourself, Daryl’s voice in your head, aim lower, right there. You hold your breath for a moment and fling it down and across the walker's neck, and pull with every ounce of strength left in you.

You’re screaming again, though you’re not really sure if you ever stopped, honestly. The rope pulls taut, and suddenly, you’re being yanked upward, water splashing around you as your body leaves the well.

When you reach the top, your hands slap down on the wooden beams, your fingers gripping the rough wood so hard you can feel the splinters. Shane lunges for you, grabbing you under the arms as Glenn takes your other side, both of them hoisting you up and over the edge.

You collapse on the dry grass, your chest heaving, lungs burning as you gulp down air. The adrenaline is still pumping, but now that you’re out, the pain in your side becomes a sharp, agonizing throb. You clutch at the wound, your fingers coming away wet with fresh blood.

Shane’s face looms above you, his eyes burning with fury. “I knew this was a goddamn terrible idea,” he snarls. “Sending you down there—knew it.”

Dale stands over you, peering down. “Back to the drawing board,” he mutters, and you let out a breathless, bitter laugh, your body sagging against the grass.

“Says you,” you exhale, barely able to get the words out.

But then, they all fall silent. You glance over, realizing you’d done it. The noose is secured around the walker’s neck. You got the thing, even after all the screaming, after all the fear. They all run to it in a hurry, and begin to cheer as they pull the rope attached to the swimming walker to get it out. 

The relief hits you in waves, washing over your trembling body as you gasp for breath. You did it. But you don’t linger to watch the thing get pulled out of the well. The pain in your side, the exhaustion—it’s all too much. You push yourself to your feet and stumble away from the edge, letting the others handle the rest.

Later, you hear the news: your efforts hadn’t mattered in the end. The walker split clean in half on its way up, its bloated, decaying body too fragile to hold together. All that work, all that fear—for nothing.

x flashback x

It had been a few weeks since your confrontation with Daryl. Your heart felt heavy with the distance between you. You felt like you didn’t know what it was like to breathe without having him close anymore. You felt so angry with him, for letting Shane get between you. But guilt overshadowed any anger, because you knew deep down you had allowed it to happen. Maybe that was why Daryl refused to talk to you–because he was hurt that you allowed this wedge between the two of you. You hadn’t been able to shake the hollow ache in your chest, a sense of loss you couldn’t quite name. 

Classes blurred by during the day, you had trouble focusing. You avoided going out with friends, nervous you’d run into him again. You were ashamed at how badly you wanted to run into him. 

Shane had called one late afternoon, and picked you up just as the sun was going down. He brought the truck to your favorite drive in, the screen flashing with an old 80s movie. As he scrolled through the radio stations to find the one for the movie sound, you saw his eyes peer over to you a few times. When the volume was turned up and you could hear voices in the speakers of the truck, he leaned down to the floor of the passenger side, brushing your legs and pulled two beers from his cooler. 

With a loud sigh, you leaned in closer to him, just how you always sat with him at the theater. He pulled his right leg up onto the seat and you laid in between his knees, head against his chest, looking past the dash to the screen. The night air was cool, and the windows of the truck were cracked just enough to let the breeze in. Shane had been talking about the movie, making little comments, trying to get you to laugh—but all you could think about was Daryl.

“You’re quiet tonight,” he finally said, swigging from his beer.

You shrugged, your fingers tracing the cold glass bottle. “Just… thinkin’.”

Shane shifted behind you you, pulling your chin up to look back at him, “Come on, Y/N. Talk to me. You’ve been actin’ like this for weeks. You’re not yourself.”

You took a slow breath, feeling the lump in your throat. How could you tell him that you missed Daryl? That you hated the way things had ended between you two? Shane wouldn’t understand.

“I’m fine,” you muttered, trying to sound convincing, averting your eyes back to the screen.

Shane sighed heavily, setting his beer down on the dash, “Don’t give me that. You’ve been down since you started school. This ain’t just about college, is it?”

You couldn’t meet his eyes. Instead, you stared down at the beer in your hands, the ache in your chest tightening. “It’s nothing, Shane. I’m just... tired.”

“Tired?” Shane echoed, his voice sharper now, a note of frustration creeping in. “You’re sittin’ there actin’ like your world’s fallin’ apart, and you expect me to believe you’re just tired?”

Before you could respond, Shane laid his hands on your arms, rubbing them softly. “Look, I’m here, alright? I’m tryin’ to help. But you gotta let me in.”

He was trying to comfort you, to be there for you in a way that felt both familiar and intimate. His hand found your waist, pulling you toward him, his touch firm but not forceful. But you couldn’t shake the heavy feeling inside, the lingering sadness that wasn’t about Shane at all. Or maybe it was about him too.

His lips brushed against the side of your neck, but your body didn’t respond the way it usually did. There was a distance, a block, and no matter how hard you tried, you couldn’t pull yourself out of the pit you were in.

Shane noticed the hesitation almost immediately. He pulled back, “You’re thinkin’ about him, aren’t you?” His voice was low, tense.

You stiffened, guilt washing over you. “Shane, it’s not—”

“Don’t lie to me,” he snapped, “You’ve been actin’ off ever since you left for school. I know it’s got somethin’ to do with him. Boo hoo, he won’t call. I told you you were better off without him,”

You opened your mouth to protest, but the words caught in your throat. He was right. You couldn’t stop thinking about Daryl—about the way he’d pushed you away over and over again. But his words were still harsh as they clashed in your head.

You could feel Shane’s jaw clenched behind you as he brought you back against him harder, his frustration palpable. “I’m here, Y/N. I’m right in front of you, and you’re still thinkin’ about that asshole.”

Your breath hitched, but you couldn’t deny it. “It’s not that simple, Shane.”

Shane leaned back in his seat, jaw tight, but instead of shutting down completely, he spoke again, his frustration clear but his voice softer. “You gotta stop thinkin’ about him, Y/N,” he said, the edge of control creeping into his tone. “He ain’t got nothin’ for you. You’ve got a future—college, a life ahead of you. I keep tellin’ you over and over. He’s just gonna drag you down, keep you stuck in that same mess you’ve always been in. When will you see him for what he really is?”

You opened your mouth to protest, but Shane cut you off, his hand gripping you across your front gently but firmly. “I’m the one who’s lookin’ out for you. You think Daryl’s gonna give you a future? No. I’m tryin’ to protect you, to keep you from endin’ up like him. Like trailer trash.”

The words hit you hard, again and again, but Shane’s gaze was steady, almost pleading as you looked up at him with misty eyes. His gaze softened, his thumb lightly rubbing your skin, "You gotta trust me on this. You deserve better than that life." His eyes searched yours, waiting for you to agree, waiting for you to let go of Daryl for good.

HEAR HEAR!!! LMK S5 SPOILERS!

i, as an individual human being with free speech, have just finished the fifth season of monkie kid, thus i have THOUGHTS that must be shared.

OK BUT TO QUICKLY ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WORRYING ABOUT FOR THE LONGEST TIME- THE ANIMATION.

it's... ok!

if anything, I GOTTA SAY, they are doing they're best! and it shows!

like okay, ofc the older seasons get better animation but like bro YOU GOTTA GIVE IT TO THIS ANIMATION STUDIO for sOmEwhAt keeping up with the animation!

One of the things I noticed is how they actually improve aimating the characters throughout the episodes, and that's pretty epic!

NOW, i wanna address the writing of s5!

It takes a moment of pondering and such for me to cooperate my thoughts into a neat paragraph of words but ALRIGHT-

The concept IS GREAT. The execution??? eh.

the first half of the show was OK, nothing more, nothing less.

the SECOND HALF of the show, now, they were cooking some really epic scenes, interesting concepts, damn good character interactions that *COULD'VE*, i say, COULD'VE been good, IF ONLY THE PACING was better.

here are some random nitpicks i have:

goofy ahh medusa monkie kid oc villian reveal was underwhelming, bruh- NOW HE'S COOL AND ALL, bro's got the sassiest voice ever oh fOR REAL THOUGH, BUT maaaannnn, he def could've used WAY MORE BUILDUP in the first five episodes of the season

that one samadhi fire episode with red son and mei was unneccesary, i think it exists just for dragonfruit content but in term's of shipping, the interactions between mei and red son weren't even that fluffy or romantic. :(

there are quite a few loopholes and, like, exxagerated moments that could've been fixed if the writers just paid more attention to, like ehhhhhh, u'll see moments here and now where the characters are kinda dumb for not doing this or that, etc

the writing and climaxes in past seasons were DEFINETLY better than season six, but okay lemme just say tho, maybe im coping real hard but HEAR ME OUT !!!

SEASON FIVE IS GOOD ENOUGH.

Ya'll shouldn't ghost this season just because the animation looks worse.

This is kinda like a Monkie Kid S1 situation, in which the show was still finding it's animation groove and the story was still in it's early cooking stages but LOOK AT WHERE S1 GOT US (psst psst s2-s4 were FIRE.)

IN MY HUMBLE OPINION,

i believe that the story buildup for the upcoming sEASON SIX of monkie kid will be fricking epic.

ah aH AH- NOT TO MENTION that the animators will inevitably improve, too!

I SAY, GUYS, instead of dumping this show and roasting it for it's so-so season 5, i say we support the team and the show! Let's show the cast and crew that monkie kid is WORTH investing the time into making better! BECAUSE MONKIE KID IS A GREAT ANIMATED SHOW.

AND LIKE GUYS i haven't even mentioned the silly little stuff i like about this show!

(those will be for future rants fr)

NEVERTHELESS. i've stated my case. please spread the word that SEASON FIVE OF MONKIE KID SHOULD BE WATCHED.

and i thank you.

[ambassadorarlert]

a compilation of some of my personal armin head canons. lmk if i should do another. this is kinda long, sorry not sorry. <33 NSFW 18+ ONLY MDNI

scorpio sun, virgo moon, capricorn rising.

- sun in scorpio: emotional and compassionate / intense and mysterious

- moon in virgo: service minded and shy / analytical and judgmental

- rising in capricorn: loyal and ambitious / unfulfillment and drudgerous

armin is the sweetest person to exist ever

- treats you the way he wants to be treated and more than you ever thought you could ever deserve.

- would rather die first than to hurt your feelings

- and when he does it’s never on purpose and it’s always sorry for it and will try to make up anyway he can

- always goes out of his way to make things easier for you

- his love languages are acts of service, physical touch, and quality time

- if your space is kinda messy he’ll do his best to reorganize and clean up for you

- needs to live in your skin. hugs often. holds your hand any chance he can. plays with your hair. lays in your lap. touchy touchy touchy

- date nights ever weekend, or every other weekend. tries to go somewhere nice and do something grand once in a while.

- he’s too embarrassed for full fledged PDA, but chaste kissing and holding hands is okay.

neurodivergent

- might be on the spectrum. you kinda gotta squint.

- has some kind of sleep disorder like insomnia or parasomnia.

- prone to nightmares

- also has depression, ptsd, anxiety

- does not take medication, like an antidepressant, even though he should

- he tries not to lay around too much when he’s around you or staying at your place, but when he’s alone in his own home he can stay in bed for literal days.

- his grandfather is getting older and his parents died when he was young so he has looming anxiety of death and losing people he loves.

- also has separation anxiety. he’s like one of those howling cats when their owner leaves for work.

- is kind of a picky eater. goes out and orders either alfredo pasta or chicken tenders.

- will stay up rlly rlly late until he can’t stand it

- drools in his sleep so if he’s laying on you, there’s a little wet spot lmao gross

anxious attachment style

- you remind him every single day that you love him, that he’s the only one for you, and that you’re happy in your relationship

- but he just can’t help not feeling adequate and good enough so sometimes his insecurities bleed out into other things.

- it gives him peace of mind that your location is on and he can see where you are.

- he goes through your following almost every day to see if anything has changed.

- will sometimes ask “do you know this guy?” when he sees you’ve gotten a new follower or if someone leaves a comment on one of your pics.

- super cyber stalker. if somebody leaves a nasty comment he can find their full name, place of employment, where they went to school, and their grandma’s facebook.

- he definitely screenshots the ugly stuff and sends it to their family. and says “this is how your offspring talks to people online” and that he “doesn’t appreciate you being treated this way.”

Airing out my LMK trailer/S5 thoughts cause u gotta do this somehow

Most glaring, animation. It’s not bad, by any means. I’d certainly be proud of myself if I were able to come up with it.

However, I think it’s important to consider the context of the show’s style, and how it’s been improving significantly over instalments. Also, it’s Flying Bark. Flying Bark is just gonna make banger animation.

Am I a bit disappointed when comparing it to Emperor’s Wrath? Yeah. Especially when we’ve been waiting a full year for this—twice as long as usual.

But I’m not saying I won’t be watching the show because of it. I still love this story. Fuck, my favourite series is Epithet Erased. The show that’s best described as JPEGs wiggling around your screen for 2 hours. I can handle less than expected animation if it’s made up for by good writing.

I’ve been seeing a lot of people attacking invisible fans that claim they’re going to boycott the show because of this. Respectfully, source? The most aggressive criticism I’ve seen is “man that’s disappointing ig, still excited tho”. Who are you guys even fighting lmao. (Unless this is something happening on other platforms and you’re just venting on here which, valid)

Nevertheless, as I’ve said before, it’s not bad animation, just not up to the standard we’re used to. People are allowed to be disappointed. Let them be. This show isn’t flawless.

It’s looking to be real, all things considered. We’ve never gotten a fan leak this elaborate before, and it contains a lot of elements that were just recently revealed. Unless they’ve been getting announcements much earlier than we have (considering this fanbase’s sleuth skills, I’d doubt it) then there’s no other explanation other than it being official.

Official, however, doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed to look that way the whole time. The animation is being done by another studio, yes, but only partially. Flying Bark is still here for the fun. This other studio also isn’t incompetent, they’re behind things like Carmen Sandiego. They know what they’re doing.

They’re also primarily handling additional material, means promotions, meaning trailers. Listen, it’s a bit of a stretch considering the fact that all trailers so far have been taken directly from the show, but also it’s industry standard to make a trailer before you’re even done, meaning you gotta cut some corners for the scenes you’re showing until you polish them up in post.

We know LEGO has a habit of keeping LMK things in their vault until they need to, this may be something they had lying around from early prod and released to maintain hype.

Any which way, this development is very much temporary, only applying because the team is currently working on a movie and need to momentarily lessen their workload. Even if the odds are against us and S5 looks like a PowerPoint presentation, it’ll likely go back to normal later.

Biiig animation rant aside, I am a tad bit sad about the direction the story is going in (namely the abandonment of Red Son) and the fan service is a bit much, but honestly what else are we expecting from JTTW fanfic.

I’m stoked to see more Macaque though—he’s looking to be becoming a proper protagonist, which is great for angst! Yippee!

One thing I haven’t seen anyone talk about is the complete lack of Nüwa. You know, the character they’ve been teasing this whole time? Where is she? Not in the trailer. Not in the posters.

Makes me wondering if this is a part of the new season, teasing the next one, the one Nüwa’s in, later.

Well, now that it’s confirmed without a shadow of a doubt that Flyingbark is no longer working on LMK, I gotta admit, I’m feeling pretty crushed. I adored Flyingbarks animation, the amount of little details and love and care you could feel in their work. It was so inspiring to me. It makes me want to practice and pursue my dream of being an animator.

That’s not to say I’m just going to drop Lmk and never touch it again because a different animation studio is working on the show. I love Lmk dearly, I have been so inspired by this show, it’s stories, and characters. I have made stories and ocs of my own that I love so much for this show because it inspired me. But it wasn’t just the animation that did that.

I’m going to watch season 5, and I’m going to keep an open mind going into it, I’m not going to just abandon something I love because of a change in production.

Mild season five spoilers at one point, I give a heads up before hand.

I have to say, I'm very happy with the LMK casting of voice actors who are mostly known/most prominently coming from the anime English dub field.

I personally don't watch much anime. One of the reasons being I don't like a lot of the over acting that comes with it. Great for other people, but it throws me out of the immersion and just generally gets on my nerves (no shade to anyone who enjoys it, just not for me).

Having said that, the actors themselves are so talented and have such good voices.

Christopher Sabat, Azure Lion's VA, is All Might in MHA.

Matthew Mercer, as of Season 5, plays The Nine Head Demon and in the past was AoT's Levi Ackerman.

And then of course, SEAN SCHEMMEL. I've seen a lot more Dragon Ball (Siblings) than most any other anime, and I never really paid any speacial attention to Goku's VA, despite him being the MC. But now in LMK, wow. Impossible not pay attention. Monkey King is for sure one of my favorite characters and that feeling has only grown with each season as his character growth has been supported and elevated by the voice acting. Season 4's A Life of Mistakes lines?

"I did this for us!"

"Oh kid, you found me."

"I lost sight of why I was even doing it in the first place."

And quick Season 5 mention because I just finished it and this scene alone was definitely not the reason I started making this post in the first place:

The Scream. In Episode 9. Oh My God. I have an occasional habit of smiling while watching media, even if it's tense or sad because I'm enjoying it and appreciating the work that was put in. Not with this. The gutwrenching horror he put into that-

Fuck me I guess, made me sick/pos

And that's just the characters and their VAs I recognized based in my Generalized Anime Knowledge! Each of them have done dozens of more shows or projects.

As well as the rest of the cast who bring such amazing talent and skill. I don't know what they've all done prior (aside from Jack De Sena of course) but wow am I so happy they're apart of the show.

Billy Kametz as Macaque for the first three seasons was amazing. Rest in peace sir

Alejandro Saab who took over in 4 and 5 does such justice to the role (check out his song covers they're amazing and there's nothing like being able to imagine Macaque sing Peaches).

Jack De Sena? I loved him as Sokka, saw the possible corruption arc abilitiy with Callum, and was granted that dream in the form of MK and his subsequent Harbinger counterpart. This man has range and I'm so glad the show is allowing him to use it

Stephanie Sheh as Mei? Gaaaaaaah! I love Mei, and she brings such a vibrancy and life that just perfects the vision for the character.

Dave B. Mitchell and David Chen as my all time favorite old married couple, Pigsy and Tang respectively. Couldn't have asked for better.

Patrick Seitz as Sandy, Kyle McCarley as Red Son (who now that I'm looking at it, is *also* an anime voice actor) and Johnny Bosch as Ne Zha to name just a few more.

I don't know, this started out as a post about being able to enjoy voice acting from people who aren't normally in shows I would watch, but now I guess it's just an appreciation post.

I Love this show. The team, everyone involved, do such a good job . No one who worked on it will see this of course but just gotta say thanks for 5 Amazing Seasons, I've never been crazier about plastic monkies.
