[bucketofbugz]

okay so for like obvious reasons Evil Paper SHOULDN'T come back (being an awful representation of DID and all) but like. aughghghhhhhhhh him coming back/being brought up after years and years of repression due to the horrific emotional response triggered by OJ's death is such an Idea.

Definitely don't want it to happen though. Unless they can execute it really well and fix the problems with him as a character. can be a really emotional and impactful thing if they DO IT RIGHT but truth be told it's kinda hard to salvage him

ε-gamma is so funny. gary is all like, oh i’m going to be gay and evil and torture the alpha again and try to take over the galaxy and fall in love with a man with a mustache and ε-gamma is literally like bro i am just s i am just sitting here

[fingertipsmp3]

I love lesbian dating apps because I can go on there to sightsee and be safe in the knowledge that no matter what I do, no one is going to talk to me

[krockat]

can we just have a moment to scream. to fucking scream.

fuck a minute of silence I NEED TO FUCKING SCREAM

hey, hi, I was just on the former bird app and came across this info from a brand new study and now I cannot stop screaming internally??? what the actual fuckkkk

theres' an article from the guardian here and here is the actual study:

[thehateinc]

ljdskfadhs.aljks finals are so bad for me

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

random percy headcanons:

wants to be the photographer friend SO bad and he technically is but like 70% of the pics come out blurry or weird bc there was a monster attack in the middle of them. his instagram is truly so chaotic looking.

literally always has seashells on him someone will ask him for a pencil or spare change and he has to empty all his pockets of shells to find it. drops his backpack and a bunch of shells fall out. kicks his shoes off and sand and shells fly out and his mortal friends are like percy What the Fuck

his eyes glow underwater!! bioluminescent king. no one told him though and he didn't find out until he joined his school's swim team and terrified everyone (he managed to convince them his contacts were having a weird reaction to chlorine lmao)

he really likes art!! he doesn't just pretend to for rachel's sake he genuinely enjoys painting with her. he likes splatter paint, collages and pop art styles the best. one day after splitting some edibles they realized percy could manipulate water colors and went CRAZY with it

will ask to be excused during class and comes back like an hour later with scorch marks all over his face bleeding from one of his ears covered in dust missing three fingernails rips in his jeans and a fat lip and the teacher is like percy what the actual hell were you doing in the bathroom all this time and he's just like uhhhhhh I have ibs

the brand from camp jupiter did unfortunately (for sally) Unlock something in him lmfao he keeps getting shitty little tattoos. usually stick-n-poke but someone's friends cousin's girlfriend's brother has a gun that gets brought to parties every now and then. most of them are sloppy but you can tell what they are HOWEVER he has one that was supposed to be a seal that came out looking like one of those shitty ms paint crying memes. annabeth laughed at him for ten minutes straight when she saw it.

he wanted to dye his hair blue but he was too chicken to bleach his entire head so he just did the tips. his hair is curly though so it looks absolutely ridiculous but he loves it

percy and annabeth get a crusty little yappy white dog in college and he carries it around like a baby lmao

back to his chaotic instagram, he's got so many pics of him like, relaxing at the bottom of the mariana trench or hugging a giant squid or riding on a whale shark and his mortal friends all think he's just really good at photoshop and this is a very specific bit he decided to commit to. they're always like lol percy where do you even FIND these pictures are you subscribed to like scientific journals for the laughs? but no he just took them all on his shell phone

has an ongoing prank war with annabeth's little brothers bobby and matthew but like it's Unhinged. they're playing 5D chess and she has no idea whats going on

weird tshirts!!! he loves them! like

shit like this or those 'women want me fish fear me' shirts, anything with a funny or incomprehensible slogan is going in his closet right along with his band tees lmfao

bought estelle a panda pillow pet when she was born 🥺

can NOT bring himself to eat seafood no matter how many times poseidon has told him its fine. he's like NO these are my FRIENDS JONATHAN WAS TELLING ME ABOUT HIS GRANDDAUGHTERS WEDDING LITERALLY YESTERDAY WHY IS HE ON A PLATTER DAD. they had to give up and just start eating normal land food at the palace every time he comes to visit lmfao

gets into horsegirl antics with hazel she NEEDS to know everything the horses have to say. they spend hours gossiping in the stables.

movie nights in the poseidon cabin were 10000% a thing and when he was missing annabeth and thalia and grover (and a few others) would still sleep in there every now and then and talk about how much they miss him :(

percy and beckendorf had the worlds most elaborate handshake

he DOES impulse buy stuff just because they're ocean-themed. stuffed animals, home decor, school supplies, clothes, you name it he bought it if theres like a fish on it

has more scars from crashing off his skateboard than he does from monster attacks

grover is somehow the only person who's ever noticed percy is severely claustrophobic

has a deep passion for adele. I can't explain this one I just feel and know it to be true.

he and annabeth both proposed to each other at the same time and they were SO mad about it they kept yelling over each other's speeches lmao

he can SING but he doesn't know it. sally keeps trying to record him singing to himself but something always happens to the camera and she loses the evidence

called chiron a brony one time and mr d thought it was so funny he was nice to percy for an entire week

the camp keeps trying to convince him to teach sword fighting lessons to the younger kids but he can NOT bring himself to swing a sword at a 9 year old so he keeps getting injured

has the most complicated iced coffee order in the world his go-to local coffee shop finally just put the damn drink on the menu and named it after him

he IS the quiet kid in the back of your math class that always has his hood up to try and hide his headphones and eats increasingly elaborate meals out of his backpack when the teacher isn't looking. one time someone caught him with a rotisserie chicken in the middle of a geometry final.

he argued that he DID have enough to share with the class

currently obsessed with the image of him knocking back a container of sea salt as if it was a shot and his mortal friends being like hey! what the actual fuck! and he's just like uhhhhh anemia kills!

its his birthday<3

[r0se1111]

can i get uhhhhhh domestic life in retirement with Ford where we grow old(er) together please and thank youuuuuu 🙏

Yessss >o<

Guys he's sooo domestic-husband-coded you don't understand....

OKok so. Keeping with canon, I do think Stan and Ford still go on their brother boat adventure™️ even with you in the picture, and you kinda hang out at the Mystery Shack for a bit. You help keep things afloat while they're gone etc etc. BUT of course this man calls home whenever he's on land and had access to a phone. He also writes you letters with drawings, photos, and little souvenirs of his travels.

When he returns you are soso happy to see him and he gives you a very cliched swept off your feet kiss. He tells you he's a bit out-adventured for a bit and just wants to stay at home with you for a bit and make up for those lost 30 years.

Get ready for the most wonderful cozy warm domestic bliss you've ever experienced. Waking up in the morning to his fluffy hair all askew as he blinks at you, smiling and calling you beautiful despite not being able to see a thing without his glasses. Stealing all his sweaters (including the turtleneck) to combat the cold pacific northwest mornings and nights. You take turns making coffee for each other in the morning, and on days where you have plans and really need some food in you, he makes his pancakes (a recipe he's been perfecting since he's been back. He loves you, but no he won't tell you what's in them).

Omg you guys sometimes have a little breakfast in bed moment and geez you're so old (affectionate). Him in his glasses, you with your hair all messy, both of you bundled in robes as you read together to get the sleepy groggy cobwebs out of your eyes and heads. Sitting side by side in bed with your breakfast trays and digging in while chatting about whatever.

He insists on still getting a physical morning paper, so most of these mornings are spent sitting at the dining table with coffee and waffles, your feet propped up on his lap as he fills out a crossword puzzle in record time with one hand and rubs your feet and calves with the other.

Gosh you guys are attached at the hip at this point in your lives. Grocery shopping? He's there pushing the cart as you meticulously scan shelves for all you need, occasionally piping up with his own personal preferences on pasta sauce brand or validity of certain buy 2 get 1 half off coupons. Quick stop at the mall? He waits dutifully outside the changing room, ready to give you glowing reviews of whatever you're trying on and holding up his own suggestions with a smile and a quick "this color would look wonderful with your undertones dear!" Yes he's color analyzed you

He's so helpful and genuine in his excitement to do these mundane tasks with you. One night he admits when times got hard during his interdimensional travels, he would daydream about just going to do laundry with you at a dingy coin-operated joint, sitting on the counter next to you and watching your clothes swirl round and round, intertwining with each other until you couldn't tell where his started and yours ended.

Your evenings are either spent on a date or making dinner at your place. If it's a date, he will have asked you out in advance and you better believe he's bringing you flowers or wine or chocolate or something cheesy like that. If you guys decide to stay in, you scan old cookbooks for something tasty sounding and dance around each other in matching "kiss the cook" aprons while one of you prepares a side and the other sets the table. Neither of you resist the temptation of kissing the other cook (ba-dum-tss) or of darting a tongue out mid-kiss to taste your partner's progress on their glaze or sauce.

Ford still is getting used to the idea of sharing a bed with you, but in a very sweetly nervous way. He knows his sleep schedule is a bit messed up still and he really doesn't want to worry or bother you. Some nights you fall asleep and wake up to him passed out on his desk with about 4 mugs of coffee surrounding him. On lucky (and increasingly more common) nights, he sleeps in bed with you. How he's so warm you have no idea, but you're not about to complain when he pulls you against him and rubs his hands down your arms and hips, all the while rambling about some documentary he'd watched that day which "you would really have found so fascinating, love." His clear and calm voice normally lulls you to sleep, but if he's unintentionally keeping you up with his roundabout descriptions, this is easily remedied with a kiss.

A kiss anywhere really, from as innocent to his forehead (you gently push back the stormcloud of his hair to press your lips as close to his wonderful mind as they can get) to something more suggestive like his neck or chest (left deliciously exposed in those relaxed V-necks you'd bought him one Christmas, a completely unselfish gift, might you add) is enough to get Ford to pause and glance over at you with a sort of are we gonna...???;) look. Whether you do or don't, any sort of physical affection is enough to have him sleepy soon. The two of you curl together, sharing breath for how close you are. And every night he gets to hold you like this and think about your wonderfully mundane and predictable lives, Ford thanks whatever higher power that put you into his life that he's back, and that you're his.

Its genuinely hilarious to me that if Karim had just asked Janai if she wanted to relinquish the crown (you know in lieu of uhhhhhh challenging her to a death duel!?!?) she likely would’ve given it to him! Its only after Amaya encourages Janai to search in her heart for what she really wants that she realizes she wants to be queen.

Unfortunately Karim seems incapable of approaching any problem without domination in mind (the attempt to retake the capital, retrieving the sun seed which, by the way, Miyana already had, the blood and ash duel, etc). And I’ve gotta say I’m so excited for Karim to inevitably clash with Sol Regem who is much the same. Sol Regem threatens, belittles, and refuses to consider the human point of view. Naturally this derision and condescension leads to him underestimating Ziard and being blinded.

Once he has healed the Sun dragon he will have no bargaining chip and no authority over him and I can’t help but guess that Sol Regem considers elves as just a step above humans (and below him) when compared to his own shining eminence lmao, meaning, any ploy for dominance or persuasion will fail.

I want to talk about representation a bit, because I see the "trans women have more rep, so they are privileged/can't be oppressed/are more societally accepted" thing thrown around a decent amount. Let's take a game I'm playing right now, Cyberpunk 2077.

I love how for trans characters in Cyberpunk 2077 we have Claire, a tough looking bartender who's into cars, and the random girl in Lizzie's who drops a line about how she's a woman and that demands sacrifice, a sex worker who immediately gets played for laughs as her (floating) co-oworker makes fun of her.

Claire is fine representation in my eyes. Sure, she has "guy" hobbies but like genuinely so do most of the girls I know. We get interested in things as kids and that stuff stays. She's a little tough looking, but it's 100% in a definitely masc woman way. She's great, I love her, best girl. The mox is representation, but like... harmful rep at that. She's literally just a side character in this one scene who says "yeah being a woman is rough but it's worth the effort huh?" and gets made fun of for being trans. Her entire point is people pointing at transwomen and saying "haha you're all sex workers and ugly and everyone can tell you used to be a man lol." and frankly it's infuriating. She even uses the male character model! I don't know if cyberpunk 2077 has any definite transmasc characters, and so the case could be made that trans women "have more rep" in it. But when half the rep is this random mox who exists to be made fun of, I don't see the point.

And this is what I mean when I say recognition is not representation. Claire and the mox are both recognizably a trans women, but only Claire is a character who has depth and is a person and actually represents anyone. Being a trans woman is a tiny part of her, but it's there, she has a flag on her truck and mentions it in dialogue exactly once! You don't even really learn she's trans until later, so she's barely recognizable in the text.

So much of what people refer to as "transfem representation" boils down to characters like the mox who are just stereotypes of transwomen who exist to be made fun of. They do not represent anyone, no lived experience, no depth of character. They exist entirely to be recognizable as transwomen and nothing more. They are jokes and to say they represent trans women in any way is deeply revealing to how tme people think of us.

When you clock me in the street, what kind of trans woman will you recognize me as?

This is an idea I've had kicking around in my head for a bit. I'd love feedback/ideas on it so I might uhhhhhh @plaidos hopefully that's okay. You don't have to respond, I just want my thoughts out there.

Knowing that Yakko has pictures of Hello Nurse and Minerva Mink yet doesn't say "HELLOOOO NURSE!" anymore, how would Yakko ask a girl or guy (around his age of course) on a date?

When I got this ask about a year ago, I was super excited because this is actually a headcanon I'm pretty passionate about. So, I wanted to wait until I was in a good state of mind before I tackled the answer. That's why I didn't answer it until now, and I apologize.

Yakko is obviously flirty, but only with people that are totally out of his league. He never flirts with anyone around his age who would actually want to be with him. That leads me to believe that, when he flirts with someone like Hello Nurse, his goal isn't to actually hook up with them. He knows it's not possible. He's trying to annoy them, be comedic, or maybe even responding to internal insecurity. If he goes ahead and flirts outrageously with them, he doesn't have to worry about what they actually think about him.

Of course, it could also just be a teenage toon's natural reaction to physical attraction. But in any case, I don't believe that's what real flirting looks like to Yakko. Not in the context of a potentially real romantic relationship.

So if there was a situation where Yakko actually found someone who could realistically date him, I don't think he would know how to approach it. I think he would act like any other young teenager who hasn't dated before. He would be bashful, timid, unsure of himself.

I can imagine him trying to proclaim his love without actually having to say it, since he has trouble talking about genuine feelings of his. Putting on big gestures like delivering mountains of flowers to his crush, singing songs maybe, things like that.

If a love interest of his actually returned his affection in any way, I think he would turn into a red-cheeked, blubbering mess. He doesn't know how to handle it.

As far as the actual words he would use to ask someone on a date? Something indirect. "I'm going to the movies later. Want to, uhhhhhh, come with?" A romantic relationship would force him to open up eventually, but that isn't the first step.

Thank you very much for this ask! I was so excited when I first got it. So excited I waited this long to answer it. 😅

I swear to god everything from the weather to my equipment to my neighbours to my own fucking body is conspiring to make sure I don’t get a good run this week

Any general or romantic headcanons for Miles G? Sorry if this is too vague >_<

AHHH I LOVE FEEDING OUR DELUSIONS

like i said in the last hc i wrote, miles g is essentially a really old bodega cat who sleeps in sunny spots and observes on the top of shelves. yall know EXACTLY what im talking about.

when yall first met (imma say yall met in ap art cus i like art) he tried to be a grah grah boom ass nigga who was only taking the class for credit

he's a hell of an actor

but eventually you see he's genuinely talented

obviously its ap art

anyway

when yall are still getting to know each other he doesn't call u ma/mami/mama yet to keep you comfortable

he gets really panicky around you for some reason

but also like scarily calm

he loves ur presence sm

he ends up asking aaron (who is literally no help) for advice on asking you out

he suggests the shoulder touch

miles actually believes him and tries it on you

you laugh your ass off but buy him lunch and watch older episodes of inkmasters (i fucking love inkmasters) on ur laptop during ur lunch period

you think the shoulder touch was a joke

and then like a month later (baby was embarrassed as hell) he asked you out w flowers

not basic ass roses, like stargazer lilies, babys breath, willow, wisteria, that type shit

he panics on planning the first date

and because the shoulder touch didn't work he goes to aaron to figure out what not to do

aaron advises to go see a movie and then ice cream

miles goes the complete opposite and takes u ice skating at the rockerfeller

neither of you know how to ice skate

its a mess

but it eases the air between you too

laughing your way off the ice he takes you to a coffee shop and orders tea (this man LOVES tea especially jamaica (jamaica is cold but he loves herbal tea) you can argue w the wall)

he walks you home

the air is awkward as fuck because he wants to hold your hand but is too afraid to ask

so you ask him if he can hold something for you and give lace your hands together

his hands are shaky

like really shaky

mans is losing his shit

he's literally just a baby

when you get to his stoop he pushes the buzzer and clears his throat

he obviously wants to kiss you but is also too nervous

so you cover the camera on the buzzer thingy (the thing that has buzzers to each apartment + the residents name and that really weird security camera. that thing) and kiss him on the cheek

MANS IS STUTTERING

"get home safe miles" uhhhhhh.... y-yeah, you too

he makes sure that ur safely in the building and dramatically flops on the stoop and sighs

mans is having a main character moment

every year on ur anniversary he takes yall ice skating at the rockerfeller and the gets the two of you herbal tea at the same coffee house

mans is such a sap omg

hehehehe

i luh yalllll

xoxo,

rae <3

Ngl Scara's entire character arc drives me nuts because His Lore Has So Much Going On and yet ... nothing remotely satisfying has come out from that, and I suppose nothing would. The fake sky, Fatui/Dottore, the Raiden/Inazuma connection, and now they want to add Mondstadt/Durin as well? What is the vision here? What is the direction they want to take here? And why??? (It really bugs me because uhhhhhh he is theoretically + conceptually My Type Of Character and yet .... we have this.)

Right??? Every intuitive avenue you'd expect the game to take with him, they refuse to do it!

Genuinely, I think the main value characters have to HYV is 1) cash money and 2) delivering Lore in the easiest ways possible. Albedo really isn't that popular, unlike Scaramouche who got a whole collab on his own, so... why NOT take the other artificially made character that could relate to Durin and foist the plot off on him instead? Scara sells more merch!!!!

It drives me absolutely insane, too, because who asked for this? Who wants him building More connections with More people and More countries when they can't even payoff on the ones he already definitely had?? (Ei and Dottore?) It feels like every single decision they've made with him is an attempt to avoid writing anything difficult.

[stackslip]

Just wanted to say I love your fma 2003 posts. While I do think the original story is more cohesive and stuff, I think that the stuff they did with the 03 show is really interesting and provides a lot of cool angles on the character. It's a completely different story after a certain point with its own merit, and I think that it gives a lot of development to the characters in fascinating ways. I feel like seeing it added depth to my appreciation of the story. There's juicy bits in there that I wish were in the original and I'm just glad they were explored and that I'm not the only one who loves it. :))

sorry i took so late to respond lol

i think the og IS a lot more cohesive and planned out, and more consistent in quality! it's just that i don't think it's much to write home about either. it's a very solid fun shounen and as long as you don't think too deep about its implications, it's definitely a lot better written than 90% of mainstream shounen. and i can see the appeal in that, i genuinely do. i don't think 03 is to everyone's taste, even outside of people for whom og fma is comfort food, for whom even a slight deviation feels Wrong because that's their emotional support anime or whatever. like, i'm a fucking dbz fan always and forever you know? i don't have room to say "why do people enjoy mangahood better, it's so much less mature than 03" bc i still get pumped and emo from super saiyan transformations. i do wish these fans at least would understand WHY one might have frustrations with the themes of the story and what it does with very serious subjects lol

i do think that 03 is its own story but i don't think it's its own story "from a certain point". yes the early anime follows a lot of the manga's story, albeit rearranging it differently. but i'd argue that it's different in essence from the very start. its tone it starkly different from the manga, which is and remains a Cool Mystery Action Shounen. fma 03 from its very first episode leans more into brooding and psychological horror territory, even outside of the extra gore. even the subtle changes it makes early in the story aren't just to change/"improve" or adapt the manga's story, but to set up what they do when 03 REALLY departs from the manga's storyline. ed and al's characters are, i'd argue, leagues away from their og counterparts by ep 10--the flashback and making them go through all that trauma at age 12 really sets up that 15 year old ed isn't a confident shitlord like he is in the og, but a deeply insecure and guilt ridden teenager forced to grow up too fast and hiding his insecurities behind a mask of confidence. al is still kind and polite, but also a lot more ruthless and even more dependent on his brother than the og one is--the sensory deprivation and dysmorphia from the armour is cutting him off from other humans than his brother, and a lot of his own doubts and anguish at his situation begin eating at him to the point that when barry throws out the "you're an artificial person" accusation, al's brain immediately latches onto it because he's been wondering if he's even human for years.

i do think 03 has pits and valleys in terms of quality--but honestly i'm fine with it (bar a few genuinely infuriating decisions such as the transmisogynist serial killer trope in ep 8), it's a 2000s anime that was insanely ambitious and butting against the author and funding, some episodes visibly have a shoestring budget and while it remains thematically consistent you can very clearly see moments/places where the production committe threw in "hey uhhhhhh put in more kimblee he's popular" or "we're not giving you more episodes sorry. wrap it all up in three". do i wish a more consistent version of the show existed, meticulously planned out and with all the time and money in the world they needed existed? yes. would that version have been perfect? not necessarily tbh!

but really, 03 has a number of strong decisions and genuinely genius twists on the og that make it very hard for me to come back to the fma manga without feeling deeply underwhelmed. i like greedling so, so much--i just don't like him enough to not feel really bitter about how lust is treated in the manga. i genuinely love the scene where ed swears he'll get al's body's back at the gate, 10/10 shounen scene--but also, there's the scene ed happily tells al that after digging up their mom's body it turns out the transmutation they did had nothing to do with their mom, and every time i'm like "this is so stupid and i wish they'd kept the failed transmutation homonculi". the absolute heights of fma as a manga never ever manage to hit nearly as strongly to me as 03's does, because og fma will always feel just..... lacking in ambition and in depth, where imo in some aspects fma 03 still hasn't been outdone. where can i find something like the 03's homonculi? how many narratives are there that celebrate a character like scar instead of playing the trope of the Well Meaning Extremist Who Kicks A Puppy? this is a real question btw send them to me immediately i need them.
