Fuck it.

Hebert has a Handgun: everywhere Taylor looks, she sees guns and munitions. Sometimes they are in incredibly inconvenient places. At least one time she finds a gun, it is in her backpack. At school. Where Madison can see if her gaze falls just so.

But that's not important.

What's important is how unimportant Taylor is in spite of this. The guns are a side note in her life. She is so very small in the end. She is just a speck of dust is the great cosmos of the universe. The night sky is beautiful beyond the words she loves with her mother.

Brockton Bay is bright. Boston is brighter still even in the distance. The stars? The galaxy? The universe as seen from a rooftop? It shines clearly in spite of all the reasons that would obscure it.

Clearly, Taylor is parahuman. Or she is under the effect of a parahuman power. Her vision remains sharp with or without her glasses. (She can wear sunglasses at night with no issues at all.) But what sort of cape just sees clearly? Try as she might, sharp vision is nothing so special as to challenge any of the problems in Brockton Bay.

But that is no reason not to try.

A gun on school grounds cannot stop her. It is nothing a tattoo cannot fix. It may be a pain to explain the tramp stamp, but at least it is not grounds for immediate expulsion and criminal record. Or getting gunned down by cops.

[fluentisonus]

(typing this as I walk to work so this is not articulate but) thinking a lot abt how les mis w javert sort of. hm. questions? problematizes? the Idea of dogs & the domestication of dogs (metaphorically ofc) like it sort of looks past the 'man's best friend' angle entirely & makes you think things like. kind of fucked up of humans [the social order] to domesticate the wolf [person outside of society for whatever reason] expressly to turn against & cause harm to other wolves in order to keep them out [away from respectable society] & keep themselves safe but never truly consider it an equal [it'll always just be a dog]. kind of fucked up that the dog finds enjoyment & life's purpose in this

All the different Usagi Yojimbos get summoned:

(specifically to create bridges to tmnt universes, so it's a relevant topic)

Comic!Usagi Miyamoto: -those were my first encounters with both versions of the turtles. Our meetings may have begun violently, but I must admit, I miss them and mourn that our time together was not longer. Especially Leonardo! Such an honorable individual, ninja or no.

1987!Usagi, nodding: Yes, when I first crossed paths with the turtles, our collision went much the same. So much violence and misunderstanding... [insert Usagi intro episode here]. I do not know Leonardo as well as you all seem to, but he certainly has my respect!

2003!Usagi, perking up: Oh, my own meeting went quite differently! Though fighting was still involved. We met at an inter-dimensional competition called the "Battle nexus" which- [insert Usagi intro episode here]. I was lucky in this regard, as we are still able to send letters through this connections and even meet on occasion, although not as often as I would like.

2012!Usagi, glaring off into the distance: I have met them. Once. It began as a fight as well... [insert Usagi intro episode here]. They are young. They have much potential, I will grant them that, but I did not feel the connection to them which you all seem to have.

03!Usagi, thoughtfully: Interesting... so all of our first meetings involved a fight... What about you, Yuichi-kun? Your world seems quite different from ours! Did your first meeting with the turtles start like that as well?

Usagi Yuichi (whose first encounter involved him, as a waiter, dumping an entire pizza on them, triggering a chain of events somehow ending in Leo making out with him in Hueso's bathroom while half the building went up in flames) now sweating heavily: Uh. Yeah. That is also how I met those four. and Leonardo. Definitely.

day 2 !! self insert

i didn't want to draw myself so here's the only y/n art i'll ever draw lol

[sk-yay-sk]

I've gotta say I'm not a huge fan of putting Dragonese into the HTTYD movie franchise. The concept of a full-on dragon language they all share, that can just easily be translated into English, just really doesn't fit imo

I imagine they're a lot more like Orcas

There are universal ways to communicate with strangers of different species, like it's pretty easy to signal things like "i want to fight you" "i want you to leave" "it's dangerous here" "i'm in pain" etc. by just body language and vocalizations- but ways to communicate more complex ideas have to be developed and learned as unique dialects by different groups, especially flocks of dragons consisting of different species.

I imagine a terrible terror flock or a group of Speed Stingers have a lot of an easier time communicating with each other than a Thunderdrum and a whispering death do.

Dragons with their own dialects, cultures, and habits depending on location and group is really cool- I just don't think it should be a direct translation of how humans do these things, such as straight up language or mythologies or such.

For my personal mental tf continuity, if the Matrix "removed" (ripped out) from a still-living Prime, one of three things happens.

1: The shock from the forced removal instantly kills the Prime and forces the Matrix into dormancy, typically resulting in the Prime being unable to pass on for a time and haunting the shit out of their murderer

2: The Prime is forced into stasis and starts hemorrhaging energy without the Matrix to provide what their VERY advanced frame needs to function. While the Prime can be brought out of stasis, they will be Very lethargic and will require a constant intake of Energon until the Matrix is returned. The Matrix, meanwhile, will proceed with psychological warfare until their captor returns it to it's partner

3: Oh Fuck We Got Revenants. Basically the Prime gets stuck in berserker mode and WILL NOT STOP until reunited with the Matrix, typically by causing an extreme amount of Finding Out on the part of the idiot(s) who thought this would be a good idea. They will ignore any injury and will not tire or slow while in this state, and while they won't attack allies, they WILL throw them around if they get in the way. You cannot run or hide from this monster because it Knows Exactly where the Matrix is at all times, and will make a beeline towards it, making anyone or anything between them regret all their live choices.

Something to note is that I like to consider the Matrix and Prime partners and dear friends, so the immediate aftermath of a reunion is the two comforting each other.

The next immediate thing is copious amounts of ass-kicking

I mean, in my mind, considering what I saw in tfone, Orion distinctly died before he received the matrix and was brought back as Optimus, right??

So in my mind, the Matrix was wired into him in a way that was keeping him alive. It was part of him now. Megatron might as well have ripped out an integral organ in this au. Not to mention all the other stuff in Optimus's chest that Megatron would be breaking or pushing out of the way in order to successfully take the matrix (especially considering how close the matrix is to his spark...)

But!!!!!! Your suggested options here have interesting results!

little isat x pjsk au comic!!! a bit unserious, but i had to draw this once the idea popped up…

in this au, Siffrin’s fondness for puns is replaced with Rui’s love of theater direction. he doesn’t express his more abstract ideas much, preferring to “keep everyone happy” and remain palatable by creating more normal concepts, but I think sometimes they slip out.

dialouge under the cut (bc my handwriting isn’t the best)

Rui: >Tsukasa.

Tsukasa: “Oh, Rui! Finally up?”

Rui: “Mh. What are you doing?”

Tsukasa: “Checking out the favor tree! It’s so tall, it must be ANCIENT to be so big.”

Rui: | Say, that tree would make a good stage…

> With enough force, maybe we could use the branches to launch you over the sun?

Both: . . .

Rui: [WHAT.]

Tsukasa: Is that so?

[canisalbus]

Different Italian anon, but the thing with Tuscan C is that it's pronounced like a very strong H sound, which is extra weird cuz the letter H makes no sound in Italian, normally. It sounds the way Spanish pronounce the J. We say it's "aspirato". So then people from there will say things like Hoha Hola (coca cola), and it's funny. It's also extremely contagious, I got family in Florence, you spend 3 days with them you start doing it too before you even realize.

A gimmick which I think would be interesting in a visual novel: small variation in the visual designs of the sprites and backgrounds based on who's narrating a given scene. Not large variations, mostly—buildings are going to have generally the same architecture, people are going to have generally the same outfits, et cetera—but lots of details shifting around on the margins, showing the texture of the characters' thought-processes through the visual design of the world as they see it, rather than only through the text of their narration.

So, for example, one could have one viewpoint character be unusually faceblind, and portray this by having all the sprites have Same-Face Syndrome when viewed from their perspective, even as they hold onto more variation face-wise in everyone else's perspectives. One could have one viewpoint character who's unusually conscious of the fine details of their physical environment, and portray this by drawing the environment-art with much more fiddly detail when in their perspective, showing wood-grain and electrical wiring and other such things which are abstracted away in others' perspectives of the same areas. Et cetera.

Probably how the song cover yuu au would start, it branches from this headcanon post nothing too interesting as he mostly does it while alone but I figured I'll draw a little introduction in case I do random doodles of this little au.

Basically, he tries and sings >regrets it >posts the song >regrets it again >it gets shared >oh no >oh please no no no >ah fuck it, might as well film a clip for a cover at some point >not showing his real self tho

He labeled the songs as lost media as an excuse but he's not wrong and not right either, somehow... Since the songs are not from twisted wonderland they were never lost, but rather never existed but he can't tell this so yeah.
