#idk it’s just so fun I love it. I love it A LOT

[watery-melon-baller]

@branmuffins22 ur so right to say this i have ten billion thoughts abt tohts worldbuilding and how so much of it is. bs

I would love to see a fantasy novel where the lore that the reader / protagonist learns at first is not true

[judysxnd]

hii can i have a request?

could you do a pedro x reader? bascially they are married, and one evening when the reader was washing the dishes, her engagement ring slipped off her finger and went down the drain (maybe from all the soap?) basically she gets all worked up and sad about it and pedro hears her and comforts her telling her its okay... you can decide how the ending is !!

thanks love! 🩷🩷🩷

hello hello, sorry for writing this so late! As I said previously, I work a lot and my crush changed so I don't follow closely Pedro anymore. I still have another request to write and then I'll be officially done with my requests! I mean I think so, idk why but Tumblr shows only two messages but says I actually five of them? Idk it's weird.

Anyway, there ya go!

It turned out better than I expected so I published it right away!!!

———————————————————————

You were peacefully enjoying dinner with Pedro in your house discussing any topics that would show up. You had some music playing in the background filling the silence while you were both eating. Those nights were your favorite. It was just you and him, nothing else, chilling, spending some quality time away from everything.

Now you were both done eating, you decided to put away the dishes while Pedro would clean the table and put the rest of the food and drinks away.

"remind me why we don't fix the dishwasher?" you sighed as you remembered that you had to clean everything yourself.

"because we're barely home and it's useless to spend money on that?" he said as he closed the fridge, looking at you. "I can do the dishes if you want" he suggested

"No it's my turn, you've been doing them all week"

"I don't mind" he said leaning on the counter

"I do" he smiled, moved closer to leave a sweet kiss on your cheek

"I'll dry them then"

So you started to clean the dishes. Before Pedro had to start drying them, he put the music a bit louder so that you could sing and/or dance. He always makes everything more fun. You've been married for three years and there's never a dull moment with him, even during moments like these, doing something as simple and little as the dishes.

You were rinsing a plate, singing and dancing a bit with Pedro when you heard something falling. It sounded like it was something small but metallic. You both looked around, not knowing where it came from. It's only when you heard the same noise but closer and deeper that you realised it was in the sink.

"What was that?" Pedro asked, looking in the sink.

"I have no idea but it's gone now" you joked, giving a plate to Pedro.

Around fifteen minutes later, you were all done. You grabbed another hand towel since Pedro was using the main one and started to dry your hands. When you moved around your fingers, something felt weird. As you removed the towel, you saw that your ring was no longer there. And it hit you. The noise you heard earlier that coincidently happened in the sink. It was your ring. You gasped, making Pedro suddenly turn.

"What?" he said, looking at you confused as he was drying a pan.

"my ring" you had wide eyes, touching where your ring used to be, looking at Pedro "I think that's what we heard earlier" you said now looking at the sink. Pedro looked around, realising what you had just said.

"It's oka-" you cut him off

"shit shit shit" you said going over the sink, trying to see if you could see it through the hole, like a delusional person.

"y/n it's okay we'll find it, or I'll buy you another one"

"no, no it's not okay" you turned towards him "it's- the ring you proposed with" you had tears forming in your eyes

"don't cry for that cariño" he said putting both his hands on your face "It's just a ring, it doesn't make the souvenir go away"

"I know, but still. It's so beautiful, it means so much"

"Maybe I'll offer you another one that means even more" he looked at you, reassuring you. And it worked, you smiled. "It also means I can propose another time, so double bonus" you laughed

"You think it's gone forever?"

"Maybe we can find it under the sink"

"Can we look right now? I feel terrible"

"we can, don't worry corazón" Pedro kneeled to open the cupboard and look for the ring. He unscrewed the pipe to see if it was there, but it wasn't.

"So?"

"It's not here baby"

"So it's gone gone" Pedro stood up once he put everything back the way it was

"I'll find another one. More beautiful"

"It won't be the same"

"I know" he hugged you "it will be better"

After three weeks, Pedro and you were in LA for some appointments you both had. You decided to join at the beach to have a nice picnic and watch the sunset. As it is predictable, it was the perfect moment where Pedro surprised you with another proposal. You were watching the sea, and Pedro got on one knee next to you.

"Pedro!" you gasped "no you didn't" you said as he opened the box, showing a big beautiful diamond ring, even more beautiful than the one you had

"I told you I would do it again. There's nowhere I'd rather be. Everywhere is home with you. We don't need anything to prove it, but I promised to cherish you, and seeing how loosing the ring made you feel, I got you another one." he said, not looking away once

"And you proposed another time" you said, tears in your eyes

"double bonus" you laughed "you still have to say yes though" he added

"are you sure? I don't know" you pretended to hesitate, both laughing. You stopped, looking at him more seriously. "I love you so much Pedro. You're the man of my life, making this crazy world the best place. You're my home. Of course I'm saying yes another time" you laughed. You gave him your hand another time so that he could put, once again, a ring on your finger.

You immediately kissed him after that. Simple moments. A sunset at the beach, washing dishes, whenever, wherever.

SFTH Chaotic Highlights (OMG Is This A Joke)

Alright, I'm finally starting to make these for the longforms! These are gonna be quite a bit longer than the other two I've made, since these videos are (typically) longer and I have a lot of thoughts about them lol (edit while writing, less than halfway through the video - yeah, I have way more to say than I thought I would)

Before I even get into the video itself, I just love the bold move of having their first Youtube longform be one about nazis, let's people know the kind of humor they'll be getting from these guys lmao

Also shout out to the not insignificant number of people who fully didn't recognize AJ with hair

Luke's executive decision to grab a prop gun and just stand there like 🧍🏼

"If he was only a foot and a half taller, he would be a perfect nazi!" Still one of my favorite Luke short jokes, because if I was him I genuinely wouldn't know how to take that observation-

Not sure why Sam chose the puffy purple jacket for his villain character, but at least we get to call him Ze Blackberry now

I'd like to imagine as Sam was introducing himself, he looked over to Luke like 'oh shit right, he's still just fucking standing there, I should probably include him somehow' and to Sam that ofc meant flirting with him

Which btw is the strangest flirting attempt I've ever seen- "Beautiful little pocket-sized Aryan" and "Sexy little ferret" ?? Guys I've never flirted with anyone but I don't think he's doing it right

"Guten Abend" Luke/Hans isn't good at this flirting thing either, but at least they're both having fun

Two French brothers casually parachuting over Berlin during World War II, nothing weird about that

"Ja- yes- er, oui! I'm trilingual, I'm sorry" Idk if it's the language confusion or the fact he apologized to the nazi, but this was a great line

"The plan is working perfectly, we're making them uncomfortable. Keep it up!" Luke, who has done very little in that regard except respond to Sam: "Okay!!" *just keeps standing there*

"Hard day being a nazi?" Considering you're currently giving him a backrub and are probably about to fuck him, I'd say he's having a pretty good day

Before Luke's BAFTA winning portrayals of grief in The Evil Make-A-Wish Kid and The Grape Depression, we had AJ's sobbing in OMGITAJ

So glad this play was set mainly in France so AJ could show off his French knowledge in the best ways (skipping across the stage and singing)

Sam characteristically entering briefly as an unspecified beast that for simplicity I'm going to call a ram

Genuinely one of my favorite and most underappreciated moments in the video is Katherine assigning Luke's character a feminine name, which he clearly didn't expect, and he just takes a moment to reevaluate life, while staring at the comedically placed banana in his hand. 10/10 fantastic bit

"My husband has been captured" "You know this for sure?" "Well he didn't come home and he's a French spy so" Fair logic that was 100% correct

"I already have a husband" "Well Xavier will have to wait until he's officially dead then" rip Jean-Luc man, at least Sarah seems to genuinely love him and be loyal though, good for them

Tag yourself, I'm AJ fangirling heavy over Xavier as he walks onstage

"I could have mimed it but I did not" has and forever will live in my brain rent free, bro had no reason to do that but took the fucking opportunity

Also Sarah's friend (did she ever get a name?) is simping for Xavier more than Sarah herself, they could've just fucked instead

"I don't know the French word for mice" "C'est une souris, une souris, une souris" French lessons with AJ

I've already made a whole post about my love for pre-reveal Xavier, but jesus, can you blame me? This character is the actual reason I started being attracted to Tom in the first place, why is he so SMOOTH-

Also the fact Luke didn't even flinch when Tom tilted his chair back and just nonchalantly crossed his legs- This whole scene is perfect istg

"I'm just going to take a few pictures-" That's so real of you girl

"I am a man" Gonna start saying this in front of the mirror as affirmations in the morning, same tone and everything

Tom launching himself across the stage before he even has the chance to rebutton his shirt lol

"Look out! It's the nazi-looking guy!" Saying this about the actual nazi is so funny

Not me being genuinely kinda sad about François getting killed

Katherine getting into Sam's carriage with a pumpkin (For some reason??) and Sam pausing not once, but twice, and eventually deciding to proceed as normal and not question it

Jean-Luc: *crying because trauma* Katherine: "Aw.. If you're thirsty you could drink it!" Katherine might've earned her place as my favorite 5th SFTH member they've had

Big Hans showing up with an entirely different vibe from the last time we saw him- Maybe because he's not busy being gay with Ze Blackberry

But really, why is this nazi boy so excited about the french language while he's taking over their country

"Les coqs :D" Sir what is this energy you're putting out, it's confusing me

I like that instead of just saying something like "It's a French horse, why do I care if I kicked it" he's just like "German horses wouldn't give a shit, your horses are just weak"

"Very hairy chickens you have here" A joke they couldn't have made now-

I'd just like to point out that Big Hans didn't get shot from what I could tell, so he could technically still be alive. Idk what to do with that information, I just wanted it out there

Tom pulling his classic sexy-character move: Foot dramatically placed on chair

The cleaner just being like "what a fucking mess, god I hate my job" as if Xavier and Sarah aren't currently having a whole plot-altering revelation in the same room

Oh yeah, and this is also the moment I was very relieved Sarah was a better person than me (/hj) and didn't sleep with Xavier

Also, mostly unrelated, but Katherine's voice specifically as the cleaner reminds me of DHMIS every single time and idk why

"Are you quite finished??" "... Honestly, no"

"But who would do that? Who would do- It was me" He tried to be mysterious but Xavier really wanted credit for what he did

Sam the Ram returns! Very cool that their first video had classics of all kinds: Sam being a chaotic animal, AJ getting to be French, Tom being a sexy German, and Luke being an equally-attractive-but-not-quite-as-played-up woman

"I was tortured by two men gettig with each other next to me" "They're always doing that, the nazis" If SFTH can make nazis gay af, they truly can do anything

Why does Ram-Sam look so offended on behalf of the French after Luke's "It's in my nature" line lmaoo

"Where did you get my dildo!?" Amazing line from Luke, but really what was that thing??

And ofc Xavier dies as he lived.. Shirtless. Sexy evil bastard-

golden retriever!leehan x black cat!fem where they’re less than lovers but more than friends! neither of them realizes their true feelings for each other until something (idk what) brings them together

PULL AND PUSH ! ──── kim leehan

✩ ⋅ pairing. kim leehan x gn!reader ✩ ⋅ genre. fluff ✩ ⋅ warnings. mentioning of a party and drinking ✩ ⋅ wc. 774 ✩ ⋅ a/n. hi anonnie i love writing black cat characters so tysm for the request!! arghh also idk if anyone is on tumblr pc but the pictures wont line up so sorry if it looks weird 😓

Leehan has always been bright, warm, and annoyingly persistent. He’s like a puppy, never minding that you’re all sharp looks and dry remarks.

“You never text me first,” he whines one evening, sprawled across your floor like he belongs there. “I could be dead, you know.”

“You text me every five minutes,” you reply, flipping a page of your book without looking up. “I’d know if you were dead.”

“So you do see my messages!” he exclaims. He grins and reaches out to poke your knee. “Admit it. You miss me.”

You shoo his hand away. “You’re insufferable.”

He pouts but doesn’t move from his spot, watching you with that familiar, expectant look, like he’s waiting for you to acknowledge him. 

You sigh, setting your phone down. “Obviously, I’d notice if you were gone.”

Leehan beams, triumphant.

“See? You love me.”

“Debatable.”

“Not at all.” he huffs, rolling over onto his stomach, chin resting on your bed. He looks at you, but when you don’t look at him he plops down on the ground again.

Leehan never takes your quietness as distance, never misinterprets your sharp remarks as something meant to push him away. If anything, he’s always been the one closing the gap.

And maybe you’ve let him.

It’s a strange kind of relationship. You don’t go on dates, but he drags you out for late-night convenience store runs. He doesn’t call you his, but his arm always finds your shoulder in a crowded room. You never say you miss him, but the space beside you feels empty when he’s gone too long.

Less than lovers, more than friends.

But you don’t question it, until someone else does.

It happens at a party. One you hadn’t planned on going to, but Leehan had been particularly insistent, throwing an arm around you and saying, “You never go, just this once pleaaasseee.”

It turns out his idea of fun is getting pulled away the second you both step inside, swarmed by his friends. You roll your eyes and make your way to the kitchen, figuring you can at least grab a drink and then leave the place in half an hour.

“You came with Leehan, right?” you glance up. A girl is standing beside you. She’s pretty, but you’ve never met her before.

You nod. “Yeah.”

She hums, stirring her drink. “Are you guys, like, together?”

The question shouldn’t catch you off guard, but it does.

“No,” you say automatically, but something in your heart twinges.

“Really?” She tilts her head. “He talks about you a lot.”

That makes you pause. Before you can figure out what to say, she continues, “I was thinking of asking him out, actually. He’s so sweet, you know? Like a cute puppy.”

Your fingers tighten around your cup. There’s no reason for that uneasy twist in your stomach, no reason why the thought of Leehan laughing with her, leaning in close to hear her better, makes your chest constrict.

You don’t own him. You know that.

And yet, when you glance toward the living room, searching for him without thinking, you feel something unfamiliar settle beneath your ribs.

It takes exactly ten minutes for Leehan to find you again, grinning as he drapes himself over your chair.

“Having fun?” he asks with a wide smile. 

“No.”

He chuckles, like he expected that. “Wanna get out of here?”

You should just say yes. Ignore the feeling, move past it, keep things the way they are. But the question is on your tongue before you can stop it.

“Are you interested in anyone?”

“What?” Leehan blinks, straightening his posture. He leans into you, trying to hear you more clearly. 

“That girl,” you say, trying to sound indifferent. “The one by the kitchen. She said she wanted to ask you out.”

Leehan turns, spots her, then looks back at you. “Do you want her to?”

You freeze. “That’s not—”

“Because I don’t,” he says simply.

“Why not?” you ask, quieter this time.

Leehan exhales, sitting up properly. His voice loses its usual lightness when he says, “Because I already have someone.”

“What do you–”

“I didn’t realize it at first,” he murmurs, eyes searching yours and he leans in even more. His head is next to yours, and whispers into your ear. “But it’s always been you.”

The room feels too loud, too warm. You think about the way he always waits for you to catch up, the way he never lets your silence push him away. The way he’s always been there. Maybe you should’ve realized it earlier, too.

“Okay,” you say, heartbeat hammering. “Good.”

Leehan smiles, slow and knowing. “Good.”

[whatwouldeddiedo]

Can I ask what it was that changed your mind? Or was it more than one thing? I'm so curious because I suspect a lot more people are about to as well...

well, idk a lot of things. like, mostly i've always been a Buddie First person. Like it was really the ship that got me into fandom, and I've always suspected there was a chance we'd get canon buddie in the end (i think at the lowest end of the scale, i was giving it a 50/50 shot and never less than that). i didn't mind tommy at all, and i even liked the pairing and enjoyed buddietommy AND i actually enjoy eddietommy as well (i actually think it's my favorite of the Tommy Ships and I have some friends that write really really great eddietommy fics that i definitely will still read).

i honestly have had some mixed opinions about all of the fandom drama type stuff - like i have people blocked on both sides who said things that didn't sit right with me so it's not so much that. i mostly tried and still try very hard to keep out of That Part of it because I just don't see any reason. There are always gonna be shitty people in all parts of any fandom I don't particularly see any reason to single out an entire shipbase for the actions of a handful of people who don't have lines or understand that harassing real people over fake ships is wrong.

after confessions, i think bt just didn't really hit the same for me maybe? like i was sad for a minute and i thought i might miss tommy as a character, but in the end i barely even noticed all that much, and the break up was kind of like eh, for me. like i liked it for what it was and then it was done. not to mention, in general, there was a lot of negativity and just downerism over there anyway - suddenly everyone hated the show and Had Never Liked It To Begin With and it had Always Been Bad. Half of the BT fans were like Oliver is a Horrible Diva Who Just Wants Attention. Tommy/Lou got me in teh divorce. Etc etc. It was kind of a nightmare and just sucked the fun out of everything for me, personally. I don't begrudge anyone it didn't do that for. Everyone should have fun in fandom the way they choose, but that's not fun for me.

And then 8x09 happened and it just felt like buddie happening was imminent and i got really excited because that's legit what i've always wanted (and was never quiet about! i never denied it! i always said it was what i wanted!), and i followed some more buddie shippers and just got more and more excited after that ep.

and then i started to lose followers/mutuals lmao. like it started with one person and some vague posts about people being delusional, and then i just decided i didn't care. and then i got an anon asks telling me i was "hanging out with toxic buddies" and they were "ashamed we were ever mutuals" and i was like ah i see this is what it's gonna be like. i am just posting about the ship i like the most and being excited and whimsical and clowning about it with some friends and this is what happens. so i just decided i didn't care anymore and really embraced it.

because to be honest, i'd rather be a ridiculous delusional buddie shipper than the kind of person who unfollows and blocks their friends because they like another ship better, and i think after last week's episode i'm just fully all in and i didn't really love the way tommy acted about all the eddie stuff anyway (like i really really thought making a celebratory claim about the man you're trying to get back together with's best friend who you KNOW he has a really deep relationship with is a dick move), so i just. idk. and i've found that buddie fandom has been more of a fun and positive experience.

and i'm sure there will be people here who won't like me because i was on that side of the fandom for a long time and because there's a part of me that definitely still finds tommy interesting as a character, even though i don't want him dating buck at all anymore, and that's fine too, but i am fully all in on buddie now. it's what i want to see. some of it has to do with fandom, but most of it has to do with actual canon and the fact that it's always what i wanted, and it was just fun enjoying buck kissing a boy for a while, but now i feel like it's time for him to be kissing THE boy, ya know? like tommy helped him get here, but eddie is his person. like really for real his person, and i won't apologize or feel bad for feeling that way and thinking that's what the text is telling me.

IDK if any of that makes sense. I just hope I don't lose any buddie followers for any of what I'm saying. lmfao

did that even answer your question?

Explaining why Sebastian Solace may be part blue whale

I have so much to say about this guy and his anatomy…

(Disclaimer: I’m not in the Discord, I won’t touch it with a ten foot pole, and I don’t follow the Twitter, so if this is something that’s been mentioned or explained uh. Idk ignore??? Or read for fan interpretation)

Okay. So I was just thinking over Sebastian’s file again when I remembered this little blurb here regarding the actual goal of his experimentation

Interesting, something very very peculiar stood out to me when reading this… and then I realized

One of these things doesn’t belong here

I read it again

Well that can’t be right. Your goal is to give him gills, so why on earth would you mix him with an animal that breathes air???

Well there had to be a reason, so I have two running theories on why.

Theory 1

Sebastian was the first to undergo the experiment, which is why he ended up looking the way he does. It could be that when his body started to change, they used Whale DNA to help his body adapt and evolve to the fish DNA being put into it.

Whales are mammals yes, and they do breathe air, so it would in no way have helped him in that regard, but whales were also once terrestrial animals that evolved to once again live in the ocean. Therefore perhaps the DNA was used to help ease his body into those changes, like his legs becoming a tail, similar to what happened with whales.

Theory 2

This relates back to my last discussion post where I talked about how due to his anatomy, Sebastian would actually have a difficult time swimming.

I did say it was done on purpose, and I know his mutations were not planned so that seems unlikely. But it could’ve been added afterwards in order to keep him from being able to swim normally. Once they realized what was happening, they quickly found a way to create a body difficult to swim with to slow him down. The flukes on his tail would create a lot of drag if he used lateral movement, and vertical movement would probably take a lot of energy for a tail of that size and length (as said in that last discussion)

So yeah, I don’t really know why else he’d have Blue whale DNA but I do think it’s super interesting. I’d love to hear others thoughts and opinions on this as it’s really fun to get everyone’s point of view on the lore. I love the lore of this game

[samsayswhatever]

https://people.com/patrick-schwarzenegger-isnt-going-to-watch-rest-of-the-white-lotus-with-his-family-11703152

I'm genuinely terrified

wtfff does that meaan

I knowww! I feel like there is going to be a lot of death, injury, and crazy twists in this last episode.

But the fact that Patrick won't even watch it with his family??? He seemed specifically anxious about his nude scenes being seen by his family, and even more anxious about the kiss scene and handjob scene because it was with his characters brother(or possibly just because it was a guy). He never talked about being stressed at all watching Chelsea's sex scenes, or the mildly graphic imagined murder scenes.

So that says to me there is a scene with him being nude either going further than a handjob with Loch, or with another guy. Expanded theories about ep 7 below:

I'm thinking that Saxon will continue to spiral in the next episode by going to Greg's party, getting crazy drunk, and having sex with someone. Who it is could be is interesting. Chloe mentioned a threesome between Saxon, Greg, and her, but that seems pretty doubtful based on how many people Greg is inviting over. If he wanted a threesome he wouldn't invite Belinda.

--

If Belinda goes to the party, she'll probably bring her son for support or he'll insist on going for support. If greg turns out to be actually chill and nice, that could put them at ease, and Zion could go off mother-protection duty. Belinda and Zion talked about relationships, and it seemed like he hasn't gotten any recently. So then if Saxon started flirting with him they could have sex! Which would be a fun twist.

I think Saxon would be interested in fucking a guy to see if the only reason he could cum with Loch was because he was gay. Saxon might be very anti-gay, but I think he's more anti-incest lol. So if he could convince himself he just likes guys, NOT only Loch, then maybe he could justify what happened in the threesome as not being about his attraction to Lochlan.

Idk what other guys will be at this party besides his dad, but if Saxon fucks his dad then I can see why he wouldn't watch this episode with his family at all. There is theme of confusing desire and identify, and Saxon does identify as wanting to be his dad, but it seems unlikely.

There is a chance that the three white ladies will go to this party for some reason. If so, Laurie could sleep with Saxon because she's mad about Jaclyn and Valentin, and Saxon might want to prove his heterosexuality to himself. However, it seemed like Laurie was going to go to the Muay Thai thing, so her friends could either go with her, or go to Gregs party in spite. I don't think Jaclyn or Kate would sleep with Saxon though, and I don't think that would keep Saxon from being about to watch this with his family.

--

If Piper ends up hating the monastery, then they might leave together and go to the party. Alternatively, piper will notice Lochy's not doing so well, and have a talk with him. I don't think Lochlan will say "I fucked our brother" in those words, but he might say, either "I can't figure out my feelings for someone," or "I messed up and hurt Saxon." Either way, Piper is likely to suggest talking it out with him. If she really likes the monastery at this point, she might say, "go on without me; deal with your issues." And then Loch will go home.

If one of the parents stay behind or is back already, they can direct Loch to where Saxon is at the party. Loch will show up, and Saxon will already be insanely drunk, and they will either have the talk they need to have, or they will just like fuck in Chloe's walk-in closet or something idk. I can dream.

If Loch leaves the monastery early enough, then maybe he will have a chance to talk to Saxon before he get's drunk, and there is a chance at some more tender and emotional moments. I would love to see this. I want Loch to walk into their room to find Saxon with his head in his hands, and they instantly know that they both remember. Aaaaggg. Anyway.

Another option is that Lochlan will stay at the monastery and meditate longer, and there will be a flashback to Saxon and Lochlan having sex after Chloe left the threesome. This plot point doesn't stop the others from happening, and is fairly likely based on the amount of flashbacks that have already happened. The show seems to enjoy surprising us in this specific way.

--

I think if there is any type of sex scene between Saxon and Lochlan then Patrick's insistence on not watching it with his family makes a lot of sense. If it's there is another make out scene between them, or a very clear confession, I can also imagine he would be embarrassed to play a character that explicitly and purposefully chose incest, compared to the more ambiguous previous scenes.

Anyway, TLDR I'm also terrified, but also excited 🥰

Thanks for reaching out anon! As you can probably tell, I love these messages

[debtofdeception-if]

you work so fast!! we’re eating so good right now with all the tumblr content, and now you say we’re getting an update soon?! you’re some kind of demon (i mean this in the best way) or maybe writing god idk. this IF has so much potential and already from the first chapter and everything you post im so excited! hope everything goes well for you, take care of yourself love!

Thank you, I really appreciate it! And trust me, I'm no writing god 😂 I just have a lot of free time, and it's been fun writing this IF.

You bring animal hybrid au and for that I propose: Skunk hybrid Emilie?

Skunk!Emilie being scared of the vet at first and positioning herself as if threatening to spray them, but warms up to them later on once she realizes the vet is not a threat (Btw, fun fact: tomato sauce doesn't work on skunk smells, you actually have to scrub a mix of peroxide, baking soda and dish detergent to break it down! Just in case vet!reader ends up actually getting sprayed by a startled Emilie 😅)

Idk why I thought of a skunk in regards to this, maybe it's cause of the irony (Perfume maker is an animal known for their unpleasant smell)

- 🐊

SKUNK EMILIE IS SUCH A FUNNY IDEA.

I’ll add onto the funny, imagine if Emilie was a weird skunk who instead of smelling awful, smells absolutely amazing. Like, she is a bit self conscious because other skunks are supposed to be smelly as a defense mechanism, but when she sprays the Vet out of self defense, the Vet just goes “…oh! That’s actually not too bad!” and poor Emilie is pouting and running off in frustration.

Or, Emilie is a weird skunk whose smells depend on her emotions. When she feels threatened, her scents are like a typical skunk, but when she’s happy or in love *stares at the Vet* her scent changes to a very sweet scent. Perhaps when she sees the pretty Vet for the first time, her smell is like flowers, but when the Vet turns around and spots her, Emilie gets so panicked she accidentally sprays the Vet with her defensive smell 😭

Skunk! Emilie has so many funny things to incorporate in the AU. I imagine she accidentally sprays a lot of the other hybrids out of panic. The Vet has to give lots and lots of baths until Emilie gets used to them 💀

songbird au (mumscarian)

i came up with this new mumscarian au (someone help me) and i must share its details with at least one person out here cause i'm going absolutely crazy lol so here are some ideas after the cut! (please note that i don't know the specifics yet; these are just starting points!)

this au would take place in a mix of a steampunk/cyberpunk setting

the watchers are in charge of people's and nations' fates (they're gods); they enjoy causing chaos through wars and battles

watchers control said people and nations through vessels (or individuals) called 'colibris' (which is the plural form of the word 'colibri' and means 'hummingbird' in french; pronounced kol-ee-bree)

each nation has its own colibri; they're highly revered because they are basically the watchers' prophets. they are high-status (like royalty). they're singers, though their songs and words persuade others and manipulate people's emotions! thus, they realize watchers' prophecies and fulfill their goals

grian is a colibri! he resides in the capital of his nation, hermitiapolis (placeholder name). he absolutely hates being a colibri, though; he feels like a plaything, like a mere toy, and hates causing people's misery

mumbo is his bodyguard; he despises seeing grian suffer because of his nature, and is ready to do whatever that's in his power for grian to finally feel happiness (grian appreciates the thought but cannot help but feel as if it is useless, especially because watchers are always watching and using grian for propaganda)

grian and mumbo are in love huehue ;; though it's controversial, so they keep their union a secret (especially because no one is supposed to touch colibris - but watchers - and 'touched colibris' are considered 'tainted' and 'impure' by watchers) (it's a sacrilege) (the watchers know tho... they're always watching mwuahaha - great starting point for lots of angst and drama me thinks)

before they can even concoct a plan to escape the capital though, an assassin infiltrates the palace and threatens to kill grian

the assassin is (of course!) scar :D

scar is part of a group of assassins who wish to annihilate watchers (and, consequently, the first step in their plan is to murder colibris)

mumbo, scar, and grian then come to an agreement: they escape the capital and begin their journey across the world in hopes of finding a way to harm and potentially kill the watchers without necessarily killing colibris

eventually, scar falls in love with waffle duo, and waffle duo reciprocate his feelings (squeals)

evidently, the watchers are mad at grian's attempts to reject his nature, but they cannot really harm him or kill him since they need him for their purpose (lol). because they can possess colibris (and take over their bodies and thoughts), they decide to control him from time to time and make him sing to scar and mumbo to hurt them through persuasion and emotion-control

scar has magic that sometimes allows him to resist the call of colibris, though (don't know how, don't know what, but he does lol - still working on that!)

grian is even more horrified, then, because he truly doesn't know what he's fully capable of (and he's hurting the ones he loves ;;)

as for appearances, i had this vision where grian was wearing a golden mask and golden headphones (with wings on the sides). holograms would be part of the elite class' common attire, and so people would add non-existent accessories to their appearances. therefore, grian would have 'fake' golden wings; he cannot fly with them, they're only for appearances

i'm thinking of making grian trans for this au as well... he would be afab and would identify as a man

scar would most probably be on the ace spectrum (like myrsexual and/or greysexual)

they're all poly! :P

general colours for this au are dark purple, gold and white (idk i like to associate random things to aus to make it more fun lol)

let me know what you think! i'm planning to write a series of drabbles or a long fic for this au cause i love it lots huehue :> send questions/comments through the ask button if you feel like it! :D

[froginthebag]

my very unfinished notes i wrote angrily after mw3 came out and i ran it

i might as well toss these here. sorry for 900 million spelling mistakes. might post my gaz headcanons ?? someday i love him dearly actually

open missions

Feel long and awkward with minimal dialogue, like a match in the dmz but more annoying especially if you’re trying to find all of the items. it gets quiet unless you’re in a fight.

not utilizing the dialogue system from alone and recon by fire. both missions were long but had the same sort of feeling, especially alone with the scanvenging. especially a big problem in highrise where price and gaz say NOTHING unless you go up or down a floor. it feels weird especially after recon by fire. should and could have been used for character building or smth fun.

too many of these in general. gora dam + precious cargo are REALLY good for open combat. highrise is fun and i love the level design, but gaz not having an ascender is WEIRD.

soap’s death

Feels off as a plot beat. I understand he died in the original mw3 but having him die in mwIII reads as just a shock effect of a game scripted too fast.

Price should have died instead, more below

the dialogue and reaction compared to the original mw3 and soap’s death is lackluster. minimal. it’s not emotional, it’s BORING. Price is screaming in mw3, where is that from him? where is that from ghost? where is that from gaz? Give me a cutscene after the bomb defusal of price scrambling up to soap with ghost sitting there looking away and gaz rushing the bomb in the background because look ok i have headcanons that would make this more understandable bear with me. give me them discussing where to send him. give me the ash scene where simon motherfucking riley can’t look at the ash because he got to know this bastard too well.

also talk about character assassination. the only reason ghost is loved and has character is because he played off of soap. now he’s gonna become that stony bastard in the background saying they should missile strike this and that. fuuuck.

Price and why he should die

survived original mw series as the only ’main’ person who didn’t die. less predictable.

has had a fakeout death in EVERY reboot game he has been in. his original introduction was a fakeout death (and recon by fire start is also one). him not waking up/realising it’s not a fakeout would have been a much more efficient and interesting plot point. Rule of three.

him dying is a chance to explore a lot more of Gaz as they’ve technically known the longest (by how much we’ve seen them together in games) + i want gaz to grieve and to be forced into a leader role because Ghost is too freaky to be captain and soap is too young while Gaz’s introduction was already showing him as a good (N)CO. Also like is this not a natural progression if he’s so calm/ idk how to put it? diplomatic? in mw3?? 

his whole ’cutting the head off a snake’ thing. he’s getting his head cut off. what with the whole royalty thing makarov talks about (french royalty and beheadings)

more frusturating in-universe. he’s dead and the team is FUCKED because they just lost their lead. and makarov isn’t behind bars. bigger blow, bigger panic -> wonderful set-up for the fourth game.

I want either Gaz or Soap killing shepherd. Ghost would be too stereotypical lmao. Specifically Soap would be neat- he’d spiral into revenge for sure and he’s already got good reason to hate shepherd for the whole mess in mw2 AND false intel for price AND he had the whole thing about shooting shepherd earlier. on the other hand, Gaz specifically bargained for shepherd and had remained the calm here, so i think it’d be cool to see him fuck around. if he must have his changes then god give me ”WE HAD ACTIONABLE INTEL ON THIS” gaz back. also like ’taking command’ is getting your hands dirty and i feel like killing shepherd would be a LOVELY start if you ignore the butcher scene in 2019.

Gaz 

i feel like his character changed. 

he curses when the dad dies in embassy, he’s shocked when price tosses the guy with the bomb off the balcony. HE STILL TRIES HELPING EVEN IF THERES NO TIME. He gives Farah coffee after embassy. He’s KIND. HE CARES. SO WHY IS HE SO DISTANTLY BALANCED? This guy has righteous fury, where the FUCK is it? 

he’s literally concerned about random people at a checkpoint (shock n awe cutscene! the cop car one!). he’s literally asking what if they don’t move- he doesn’t like the idea of hostages, he’s concerned where they stop. he’s concerned about innocents. it’s development that he’s willing to go further but why is he so ready to forgive and forget when he wasn’t before??

i feel like the fact he can refuse to help Price interrogate the informant on mission is important. Price gives him an out to stay clean. i do not remember which is canon. i just. like that he has the choice yk.

he’s level-headed, but his introduction shows him LITERALLY joking / being sarcastic with his commander. “can’t truly alarm the public”, “terrorists know that too sir?” He comments that someone’s an easy shot in old comrades. He’s prickly when Norris declares Farah’s army hostiles. He jokes when he’s angry and frustrated. He literally pushes back when that happens, why didn’t he push back with SHEPHERD? HE GETS PHYSICALLY AGGRESSIVE OVER JUST THE BUTCHER, WHERE DID THAT RAGE GO??

he’s BITTER. he starts bitter. He’s pissed at the piccadilly attack because there wasn’t proper support or authorisation. He’s PISSED. He curses when he talks to price. he wants to fight, he’s FRUSTRATED. Where did all of that go? Why is he so unnaturally level-headed, why isn’t he frustrated? Why isn’t he pissed at shepherd for the civilians in alone when he cared so much in piccadilly and the embassy? Is he just repressed or did they change him?

Why isn’t there more talk with him and price? he’s clearly the only one slated to be captain or a higher rank. let him and price exchange looks more. let them talk more. let price either talk to him like a friend or like a mentor. ?? link back to my highrise complaints ok i really like the way they play off eachother in 2019 and in 2022. wish they’d kept that up

thaaats everything i wrote i swear i had more thoughts way back then. i liked laswells mission tho. cheers. also i swear i had thoughts about the plane stuff ?? uhhh something something why don’t we get anymore actual choices in these games

[wyllzel]

5. hobbies

photoshop!! i like making gifs and edits and such :) i've also been writing a lot more recently which is crazy, i haven't felt this inspired or productive in forever :'D thank you DA lol 🩷

i am also v much a webtoon enjoyer (my all-time fave is "trash belongs in the trash can!" but i'm currently v invested in "nevermore," "i'm the queen in this life," "sisters at war," and "momfluencer"!), but i'll read manga (tatsuki fujimoto my GOAT) and comics (invincible also my GOAT)

6. if you work, what's your profession?

i write internal software documentation which means it's architectural, high-level design stuff... not so much code-specific, but the reasoning behind why software components are organized the way they are. it's not very fun, mostly mind-melting... i work closely w engineers and it's kind of a toss-up whether they'll be nice/patient or think i'm stupid lol

but my brain now contains so many company secrets :^) if you ever have any questions about data storage/virtualization i can possibly help lol

7. if you could have any job you wish, what would you have?

funny story—i applied for grad school, and i've been accepted to an english m.a. program that starts this fall!!! 🥹 we'll see where i go w that, but i'll likely enter education!

8. something you're good at?

uhh i suppose BG3 LOL i beat honor mode twice! 🎉 (i'm still trying to figure out how DA works 🤔 DA2 hard mode is chill idk if i'd ever do nightmare tho 😬)

9. something you hate?

ok it's not rly a "hate" thing but it does irk me when i see fandom claims/arguments that don't cite specific quotes/screenshots/instances lol (the english major in me activates and i am consumed by the thought "🚨‼️ where do you see this in the text 👁️👁️🫵" LOL)

10. something you forget?

the grief 😂🖐️ it creeps up on me! almost cried in my cubicle multiple times this week. haha.

11. your love language?

receiving is probably words of affirmation? giving is probably gifts, i like making silly things for my bestie (eg. fenris keychain lol) and finding weird stickers for my brother 🤡

12. favorite movies/shows?

my letterboxd top 4 are:

everything everywhere all at once (2022) (saw it twice in theaters and sobbed thru both times)

nope (2022) (BRILLIANT movie, so smart)

challengers (2024) (so fascinating!)

lust, caution (2007) (i need to rewatch this one expeditiously)

as for shows, i love succession (2018-23), invincible (2021-), and the twilight zone (1959-64)!

apparently very friendly, outgoing, and extroverted! i would just run up to my fellow kids and yap at them?! i do nooot do that anymore lol

14. favorite subject in school?

english/literature!!

15. least favorite subject?

oh man, i was so bad at science, especially biology/chemistry... i could scrape by in physics bc i was decent at math, but it was still awful...

16. what's your best/worst character trait?

worst...??? according to my last annual review, i need to be more confident in the workplace LOL 💀 + sometimes i let my anxiety get the better of me... i think that's just a lifelong struggle thing though, but i know i can improve to be a better friend and such 💪

best... multiple reviews from mom-aged women say that i am a "nice" and "sweet" person so hopefully at least that means i can leave a good first impression haha

17. if you could change any detail of your life right now, what would it be?

i'm not a huge fan of what-if-ing personally, but i do wish i were on vacation 😆

18. if you could travel in time, who would you like to meet?

i'm currently very curious about my paternal grandparents... it's hard for me to conceptualize why they got married... and how my dad grew up... i guess i would want to witness some of that??

tagging: hello again haha!! @creaking-skull @andrewknightley @coolseabird @genderdotcom @bladeweave @grey-wardens @maironsbigboobs no pressure again :))

[squuote]

I wish I knew more about music or like how to talk about it in depth because the tsp soundtrack literally makes me feel so many emotions and I don’t even have the words to express why it makes my heart claw out of my chest (major rambling in the tags lol)

[tawnysoup]

"You never know, you could surprise us all in time. Who’ll ever know if it was you that caused the crime?"

(video lyrics under the cut)

"I heard a word that they paint mirrors on their face And soon forget that they reflect but don’t create.

I suggest that you address your appetite For to be seen to cast your beam across the night."

[suja-janee]

I’ve been losing my mind over these guys recently

happy halloween! 🎃🐈‍⬛👻🐇
