#i have thought a lot ab them

[just-a-dinosaur-i-guess]

do all the characters have dragons? are they dragons? what does a world with dragons look like? i want to know more

okay so!! this specifically is an au where abilities are dragons (but i will probably make an au later where they are dragons, i enjoy designing creatures <3)!

it's fairly httyd inspired because i really love httyd, so it's not modern, though.. maybe that'll be a seperate au later haha

BUT!! for this au specifically, there is a focus on dragon racing in the main plot; atsushi gets roped into joining the twilight agency (aka the ada here) when it turns out the dragon that he thinks has been chasing him is actually one he bonded with when it was little, it got seperated from him, and then went to find him again.

the twilight agency both races and investigates suspicious going ons and possible cheating in said races! i didn't finish up organizing the google doc, i'll admit, so i don't have everyone's roles written down, but:

atsushi and juni'chiro tend to race most often, ranpo is one of their usual investigators (ranpo claims to have a small feathered wyvern, but.. it is actually a golden eagle that fukuzawa gave him as a baby in that universe's version of untold origins), and they have clerks as well (naomi and haruno, though naomi races too when her brother can't, due to the fact that their dragon listens to both of them).

the night wardens are heavily involved in seaside transactions, transports when needed.. and cheating, it’s rumored, although no one can find any proof. they race too, though they did lose their BEST racers a while ago (those being the flags).

mori himself doesn't have a racing dragon. in fact, his dragon elise is more akin to a very, very cranky chihuahua crossed with the dangerousness of a poison dart frog. she's tiny, bad tempered for nearly everyone, venomous, has sharp claws, among other things.

those are the two organizations i have figured out the most ^^

but for how the world actually looks, that's a fun question!!

i've always really loved the design of berk revamped to fit the dragons :P so something like that, but yokohama

(i couldn't find any other good imgs </3)

the twilight agency's building has a stable for the dragons, the port has plenty of places to put (or hide, if you're tachihara michizo and your brother's dragon has just tracked you down and won't leave despite how much you tell it to) dragons.

one BIG change is that the moby dick is now a dragon; a giant, very old one who despite this is tasked with carrying the guild around. at the end of the arc it and melville disappear to finally actually retire.

i'm not entirely sure how accurately the arcs play out, though i know it's not.. too different, i think? i'm still working on it!

ty for the ask! <3

friend wanted to see my tumblr, and when i told him i can’t show it to him bc it’s basically my personal diary he went “oh so I can’t see it but a bunch of strangers on tumblr can??” he literally does not get me. no one will get me like the people in my phone get me

[fioblah]

tip jar

[scarletlight-has-issues]

Okay so I've held onto this one for quite a while bc I was self-conscious ab my art style and how it doesn't look nearly as good as a ton of other prohibited wish artists on here but I think it's time to share it-

I had this idea in my head and I just needed to get it out sooo um.

Sorry for the pain

Also I was testing out how I draw maskless Scarab (which is partially inspired by the INCREDIBLE @time-woods's design for their Carma sorry for the @ I just wanted to credit you for the inspo- btw) so it's changed a bit since I drew this bc Ive gotten more used to drawing him-

I have a ton more art in my backlog I'm just,,, self-conscious lol. trying to get better-

PLEASE [tumblr] fix the quality when I post this bc it looks like ass in the editor as Im looking at it rn

girls we might have a problem (i couldnt sleep last night because i was thinking about her, i havent stopped thinking about her since yesterday, ive been rereading our texts for the past hour)

[brucie-baby]

pls share your ocd Bruce thoughts. as in your thoughts about Bruce having ocd. Pls and tanks

[big warning for intrusive thoughts, compulsions, paranoia. i do list specific ocd thoughts in this post. please be careful and don't read if those might affect you in any negative way.]

his compulsions mostly lie around keeping his family safe. he spends a while each night after patrol doing a perimeter check and ensuring all the security is online/working (one night he accidentally fell asleep in the cave and didn't wake up until morning - alfred woke up startled to see bruce checking his pulse because you fell asleep without checking and now he's dead he's dead and it's your fault).

he struggles a lot with intrusive thoughts; they're quite difficult to combat because he knows they aren't real but also a fair few of them are based on things that have happened to him in the past so he's more than aware that they're still possible (e.g. your son is dead somewhere, go find him; your friend has turned evil, check you have your defence against them and get ready to use it). he often just gets incredibly graphic images in his head, and he digs his nails into his skin until it goes away.

another thought he struggles a lot with is 'this person is an imposter. they are wearing someone else's face. this is not the person you know'. this is one that he definitively knows isn't true but also it's happened before so it can happen again. it makes him feel a little silly whenever this happens, because his way around it is to find somebody he does trust in that moment and stay near them whilst keeping a subtle eye on the 'imposter', and it makes him feel like a little kid hiding behind his mother's legs at a gala all over again.

there are some positives though!! he's not too sure why but these paranoid thoughts aren't often in regards to j'onn, so occasionally he'll request for j'onn to scan someone's mind to check if they are who they say they are, and j'onn does it with no questions asked. j'onn doesn't fully understand why bruce needs him to do this but he does recognise the spike in anxiety just before bruce asks and the relief bruce feels after, and so he does it because he knows it helps his friend, even if he doesn't know why.

(sometimes, when it's just him and the 'imposter' in the room, he just leaves. he doesn't explain. he doesn't say goodbye. he just leaves. he tells himself that it's to ensure his own safety. he ignores the way it feels like fleeing.)

he has a lot of little compulsions too, like rapping his knuckles against a specific part of the wall before using the zeta tube (if he doesn't, the transport will rip them apart). whenever somebody questions it, he says it's for luck. this leads to the team believing batman to be incredibly superstitious. the only people that know the truth are dick, jason, tim and alfred. eventually he does tell clark and diana, and he stops trying to hide it around the rest of the batfamily, but he does not like people knowing about it.

oc-tober day 11: zero escape au

i think joe should be in akane's situation i think it's like a natural progression for him i think he should be in the nonary games. i think if he were in there it would play out exactly the same

[alternianavenues]

WHOS the yellowblood w the blacked out eyes in yr header so i can go thru their tag

That would be Bronte Voltej !

Bronte Vultej (she/they/ze) was a troll with renound psionics and a rebellious nature, but not enough gut to act on it. She stayed in a lowblood neighborhood, and helped out with local shops. Life was very good until a turf battle occurred in the town between loyalists and rebels. It was a very violent experience, and Bronte was caught in the crossfire. With all the chaos and distress, plus the violence she would inevitably get caught up in, their psionics went off with a bang, in a very literal sense. Zer psionics caught onto the nearby transformer, and executed a chain reaction to every transformer connected to the telephone lines.

Zey wake up disoriented, short circuiting, and with only the barest form of psionics keeping them alive despite what is, essentially void rot minus the rot. On top of this, she loses all of the memories of their former life. Bronte Vultej eats batteries to feed the psionics in her body, and has physical subconscious jerks + a stutter due to the physical trauma.

And here is the bull himself >:)

+ lore notes

I was like, ah I should make the shadow something interesting, and then I'm like GIVE HIM BULL HORNS???? OKAY SURE !!!!! I'm glad such thoughts can strike at 7 in the morning....thanks brain. But hehehe I'm glad bcs now this matches up super well with the Nando one!

New ship dynamic: who's the bull and who's the matador :)

I think, in this AU, Fernando is generally pretty fond of Seb when he first meets him. Like "ah yes my very own protégé, very nice, I shall mold him in my image." But then Seb starts veering off that course. Bullfighting is all about being dramatic, but Seb maybe has a bit too much(🤏) flair for the dramatic. This escalation starts while he's still Fernando's assistant but he keeps it generally at bay. But god when he becomes a matador himself, he's just off the rails insane.

Bullfighting, to me, is a sport about reckless endangerment of one's self in the pursuit of drama and performance(its literally described as a tragedy in three acts.) But Fernando thinks Seb endangers himself *too* much, not because he cares or anything, but he's making a mockery of the sport!! Especially when Seb starts doing that bull hand symbol(seen above), Fernando just keeps become more enraged with him, not anything to do with the fact that Seb is threatening his records and threatening his own wellbeing, nah of course not.

Seb's gesture is making a mockery of the sport, he's disrespecting the culture, the very nature of it, blah blah blah. Jenson once asks Fernando, after noticing him seething while watching Seb do his gesture, "Which bull are you really trying to defeat?" One could also describe Fernando and Seb's relationship as a "tragedy with three acts."

Anyways Fernando gets very tied up with this rivalry. Even after suffering a severe injury(I have yet to decide, but y'know mchonda electrocution core), he quickly returns to the sport, loath to let Seb get any more headway. And then Seb gets injured, poor little sweet Seb, and neither of them can handle it. Though I already covered this in my prev lore post 🤭 and I think I put it pretty viscerally there so!! I digress.

They're both matadors, but the bull itself is not the only bull Fernando wants to conquer. Conquer as in death? Hm.

in a world with an aftg show (because it Has to be a show, not a movie) seth would have a Pretty Guy actor playing him who looked even prettier when he was sneering or scowling and people would make edits of him with the velocity + slo-mo effects and be like "i can fix him"

[milfjessepinkman]

friend said if i was an animal id be a doe and i cant stop thinking ab it. like what

[dykefever]

okay in fleabag the fourth wall breaks are a metaphor for dissociation yes i will agree with that but i don’t see people talk about how it’s also her performing for an audience - she is using this imagined audience in order to feel seen and heard in a way she isn’t in her real life, a way for her to validate herself through the lens of others and when hot priest calls her out on it it’s because he is actually!!! seeing her!! and when they’re having sex it’s the first time she pushes that audience away and refuses to perform she is present in that real life moment and being seen etc by hot priest. i’d argue that the dissociation goes hand in hand with that performance like she dissociates in order to perform for an imagined audience and also i think that other interpretation of the fourth wall breaks are valid i don’t think there’s one complete and total explanation/answer as to what they mean. much like in real life our coping mechanisms are often used in response to a multitude of situations/traumas and can represent multiple things about our psyche !! anyway just wanted to share my thoughts

[tsukasalover]

ive been thinking more abt different pjsk characters recently (specifically emu kanade and mizuki because i like them a Lot) because 1. i genuinely just want to get. A better understanding of them and love them and 2. I keep hearing tsukasa saying different things in my head from different event + card stories and it’s getting On my Nerves. He’s great but his fans annoy me so badly and he can be a pain in the butt sometimes (doesn’t mean i love him any less but still)
