youtube stop fucking recommending me videos about TADC

[sowthetide]

heyyyyyyyyy im back (this is TeaInABowl). this is a bit late i guess but i havent been online in a few days (✨family crisis✨) snd just got caught up in reading the other asks. i wish you luck with your own family issues, little brothers are just Like That sometimes (i would know).

honestly the quen-verse is real. and its fucking with my mind. but i also have been having brainworms abt how much the story would shift with genderbending other characters. i dont want this ask to get too long and i know this is a sideblog for your quen fic but oh gids can i talk abt it pleaseeee

also you must have put some sort of spell on this story, i think. bc (here it comes) i dont ship throbb. and i dont like genderbent aus. yet… here i stand (???) i dont even remember how u found this fic, but it has me rooting for a ship that i found annoying on a good day???? ok maybe i should clarify, i dont like genderbent aus in modern settings, but asoiaf is such a gendered world tgat theyre actually interesting if done right (as you have!!!) and i dont HATE throbb i just. wasnt very fond of it. but one thing i DO love is whatever sort of gender fuckery theon has going on, so when i saw your story i thought “screw it, who cares abt the pairing, hell be at war snyway lmao i wanna see how many more problems squidboy can have” but now i want him back???? come home???? wheres the boy?????? our boy???

as for song recs, i have too many, and probably need to compile them in a more cohesive ask. in the meantime, its not quen related but i dare you to listen to “house of gold” by twenty one pilots while thinking of catelyn and robb. i fucking dare you.

"I should have known better. Asha knew how it went with little brothers... A little brother may live to be a hundred, but he will always be a little brother." Sigh. Truer words have never been written. I hope your family issues work out too! We are Fellow Strugglers in that.

The Quenverse is so real!!!!!! It's something goddcoward and I have discussed at length, including (but not limited to) full genderbend Throbb (with Quenlyn & Robyn) and the Ironborn-Tully "Let's Fuck Nasty" Initiative (with increasingly unhinged pairing up of Greyjoys/Harlaws and Tullys. This includes Alannys/Catelyn, Rod the Reader/Brynden the Blackfish, Gwynesse/Lysa, Aeron/Edmure, etc.) goddcoward also has a bunch incredibly fun AUs, including what has been affectionately dubbed "sigil furries", where the Greyjoys are actual humanoid cephalopods and the Starks are werewolf-maxing. Not to mention goddcoward's AU take on Quobb with arranged marriage, which they're still working on... ;-)

PLEASE talk to me about your vision!!!! Also PLEASE send any song recs you've got!!!!

I'm so incredibly flattered that this fic got you to like Throbb, even just for the purposes of this story. Also, confession: I didn't really like genderbends either- that is, until I started writing this story lol. I think it's just because I didn't feel like genderbends were often well-handled in ASOIAF fics, even for a world as Gendered as Westeros? (Not to say they all suck, I've just run into a few that I thought were... Ungood.)

Theon's experience with gender is so incredibly fascinating, and the prospect of him being born female raises so many interesting questions about who he would even be (and thus this fic was born lol). See vivacissimx's theon's gender was always broken, which is prob the #1 Theon Gender primer.

I'm also glad you came around to Robb, haha. You're sounding like Quen in my inbox: "now i want him back???? come home???? wheres the boy?????? our boy???" For a long time, I was mostly interested in Robb as a compliment to Theon and Catelyn's characters, but I've really come to appreciate him in his own right. I can't wait for all the tender Quen-Robb moments in the endgame of this fic 🥲

Little ways I'd characterize Millie lol

This is just for fun because Millie is my (in theory) fav character and I love her!

(This is just how I'd do it but you know. not exactly criticism but it can be taken that way i'm just clarifying because this is taged as criticism)

#long post

Ok! So like the big one!

#1

Hair!

Millie's hair in the pilot! she had a little white spot on her hair. I thought it was cute I liked it ok fine loved it!

Peek character design in my not so humble opinion

If Vivs kept her white spot and didn't elaborate in the slightest and keep the imps gendered characteristics. I think it would have quietly shown us Millie and Sally Mae's relationship. It's like a solidarity thing with her sister a little 'hey I support you' moment. Ok here walk with me

So viv said Millie has strong family ties and a sibling rivalry.

We all know Sally Mae is a trans character. What if she gets a little self conscious about her hair because her roots will be white. Sally Mae still lives on her parents farm doing farm stuff she won't be able to keep up with her very often (even more so now that Millie is gone even if we dont know who is older it would still be alot more work with less hands they even hired a barn hand so they clearly needed extra help.) So Millie to would dye her roots or a random part of her hair white so Sally wasn't the only one with white and black hair.

I think that would have been sooo cute

It would have shown her family ties. Also despite how often she and Sally Mae would/still fight or have complications Millie would still have her sisters back no matter how small the token

(I'm not trans. If this doesn't sound like nice as it sounded to me let me know I'll cut this hair part out)

But honestly Sally shouldn't feel self conscious in the slightest she's so hot

She's beauty

She's grace

She's Miss United Wrath

Ok 2!

I wish Viv or who ever is in charge of scenery or backgrounds would give us little things to show Millie's personally like they do with moxxie

for instance Moxxie and Millie's room

Moxxie gets:

A cute little alarm clock with a music note, a flyer for maybe a play or musical. Even his album is mounted on the wall

There's also this poster on Millie's side of the room it looks like a poster for musical but I could be wrong

What does Millie have?

Jack rabbit that's what.

Millie only has knives and a bent lamp (the lamp is in the above picture)

I think t would be so cash money if Millie had something. Like where her knife is in the last image could have been a picture of her family like a small foreshadowing of the character we're going to meet see. Her lamp could have been western themed. even if it was something small like a book on gun maintenance so she could help moxxie with his guns. They could have shown that the lamp was haphazardly taped on or glued together to show her resourcefulness or maybe have patches or Mitch matched fabric on the lamp shade to show she sews or fixed the lamp shade.

Even Moxxie and Millie's coffee cups in seeing stars!

Moxxie get music notes and music sheet lines

While Millie gets hearts! Just hearts!

God! I hate it here!

They had so much opportunity

For instance:

Moxxies cup has Millie's face and things he likes and Millie's cup has Moxxie's face and things she likes or just cups with things they like that don't have the faces.

Maybe even Moxxie's cup is white and pristine while Millie's cup has coffee stains and is chipped or doesn't have a handle maybe

I don't know!

Go to part two for more tumbler only has 10 picture limit >:(

I'm sorry I'm going to talk about clothes and I want to show pictures

Dont let no snot nosed no bitches havin zero social cred dripless mouth breathers ever get up inside your head cause you dont deserve that shit ya hear? Thats right, this is the positivity arc shoefuck is all about positivity these days! Ill tell ya what inky, lil inky inker you, im gonna give it to ya straight ok, i dont know you, for all i do know you could fucking hate waffle house and i dont think i would be cool with that but its a risk im willing to take. Inky lets get married, lets show up to the courthouse and get married so we can get in on that sweet sweet tax bracket and also commit felonies while not needing to snitch on one another by law, think about inky, me and you we can assasinate elon musk and jeff bezos and maybe even alex jones together we can do it its the perfect plan i have really big manly hands that i will choke them with but also to clarify cause youre probably thinking it no i do not intend to choke you and or steal your organs i just think if we got married and you said bazinga for your vows then i said zooweemama for mine that shit would be a fucking riot lmao anyway lemme hear the pilot of it just in case say bazinga for me

this is so romantic. let's put cats in padded laundry baskets. let's kill our enemies and cry over their corpses. let's make enemies out of laundry basket cats - fiends of our own making - and cry because we won't kill them. let's pre-lick envelopes and claim it as volunteer work. i think it's better that we don't know each other - are we not then blind to all flaws? for now, you may be the symbol of perfection. let's bazinga.

How would be my take in reboot Lotor (part 2)

His relationship with Zarkon: Lotor's daddy's issues are other aspect that affect a lot his character. I would not just keep but turn it more problematic. Clearly VLD Zarkon and Lotor hated each other, but I think would be more realistic give more duality to this unbalanced relationship. Of course, Zarkon personally would be very different form his VLD version, he would be more comical (talk more about him in another post), so in the same time he treat Lotor as a common soldier sometimes he play a sassy and paternal role, what get Lotor nerves. But deep down, even reboot Lotor declare he is indifferent for his father, he still have mixed feelings about this man (in this version he truly  raised Lotor), like there were two people inside him. In some point of the story Zarkon be consumed by mental ill, insanity and incapacity, and Lotor is the only person he can have a coherent dialog. So, I would work something kinda of angst, complicated and comical.

Something broken as Ice King and Marcy.

His relationship with his mom: In my version his mom continue be Honerva, the scientist. So, before she give birth to him, Honerva run away from the Empire and was disappeared. Lotor spend his early years with her in some desert planet help her with a Project that she never fully clarify to him, he ignored the fact the Galra Emperor was his dad and all he needed to know, second her mom, was that they are hiding from him. So he was naively glad with his hole as mirim assistant until the day she dies and he is rescued (taken) by Zarkon (I am gonna write this full story in a close future). 

I loved the idea of let Haggar and his mom be the same person and I would like to play with this possibility. So, after a time, this weird Altean (I will keep her sinister aspect)  just appears in the Honerva Lab. No one know how she got there or how can have some altean alive after the explosion of the planet, in this time increase the theory about an errant altean ship with survivors that Alfor hides his child. By anyway, no one bother with Haggar presence since the is very useful, quiet and avoid any type of company (and she is so indifferent that even Zarkon have to bear her unfriendly mood). During a long time in the narrative everyone, including herself, will believe she might be a close of Honerva, but be prepare for a pilot twist. 

And this time she and Lotor will a super dramatic encounter when everything were revealed. 

His relationship with the Empire (elite and people)

Lotor still will be a lonely soul, an outsider and someone viewed as a mistake. Of course, the soldiers don't like his blood but what they hate the most about him is his lack of violent nature and his  apathy about their case. Lotor is the type of employee that don't have enthusiasm but bring too much results to be fired.  He don't support that stupid way to get energy destroying planets, but he isn't passionaly engaged in change things, he believe the galras walking to their own destruction and all he is gonna do is wait. But the story goes  developing and he learn about care about other people. When Zarkon dies and he became Emperor he proves be a better leader, more concern in keep the population alive than invest in war's matters. People from lower classes can see a safe future with him but old school generation dont want to know about stability and future, they want conquer the fucking Universe. And Lotor will have problems in prove his loyalty, mainly after such successful alliance with Voltron and the companionship with the princess. But he will have to make a difficult choice.
