I sincerely hope that Snapcube's Sonic Destruction 3 has Shadow come back, not elaborate on why he is back, and claim he never left.

Basically I just want the scene from Episode 1 where Sonic gaslights Amy, but it's Shadow gaslighting Sonic

Thinking about how in every canon ship thus far, lumax, jancy, jopper, all have time apart, where they aren't in relationships, but have some kind of miscommunication or barrier that prevents them from being with one another, and yet once they're reunited they can't help but fall into their dynamic seamlessly. Max withdraws from Lucas after Billy's death, and Lucas doesn't reach out enough as he feels he should, resulting in the breakup, but as soon as they're together again, in the same place, they need to spend that time together, as much time as they can. Jancy, and how Steve and Nancy were together in between and during season 2, so Jonathan backed off, Nancy stated she waited for him, and Jonathan said she barely gave him enough time at all. Still the minute they were alone they were drawn to one another again. Hopper was thought to be dead, unable to contact Joyce until months, yet it was the first thing he did. How for so long Joyce thought she lost another person so dear to her, but the minute they were reunited and spent time together, it was like before they were separated, but better in a sense, for all of them, because they grew as people, even in these confounding circumstances, they still found themselves safe in the presence of one another, because they were on the same wavelength when it came to growth. Now thinking about Byler, and how they were separated by distance & Mike being with El, how they immediately had stilted conversations and arguments, because both believed the other didn't want to hear from the other person. But the minute they're alone together, able to admit their wrongs, they're close, and sharing inside jokes and glances, like they hadn't spent any time apart. Mike is openly admitting that Hawkins wasn't Hawkins without Will in it. That the only place he's ever called home, is no longer home because Will is not there. Thinking about how the duffer brothers make clear in all the canon ships that quality time is an important factor within the romances they write, and how there not only needs to be a level of communication when they aren't in a romantic relationship, but there is a complete enjoyment in one another's presence, not because they are romantically together, but because of who they are as people.

Do you ever just… favorite-character-at-first-sight? Like, they walk on screen and say ONE WORD and immediately you’re just smitten.

“That one. That’s the one. I don’t know who they are yet but they’re my fave.”

crashing the tulpar into the asteroid that turns you into a dog ft. lil curlydog fanart by @rdhndrd

some design notes under the cut

Curly: Husky mix, maybe GShep? (mush, captain, mush!!!) Anya: Silken Windsprite (or long-medium haired sighthound mix) Daisuke: seen at least 2 different instances of people drawing him as a Papillon and i agree wholeheartedly Swansea: XL Bully/Cane corso Jimmy: badly socialized German Pointer mix

also ciarans fanart is based on this

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

Whoever conceived and animated this moment, I hope they're doing well and thriving. This is S-rank romance stuff here.

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

My biggest tip for fanfic writers is this: if you get a character's mannerisms and speech pattern down, you can make them do pretty much whatever you want and it'll feel in character.

Logic: Characters, just like real people, are mallable. There is typically very little that's so truly, heinously out of character that you absolutely cannot make it work under any circumstance. In addition, most fans are also willing to accept characterization stretches if it makes the fic work. Yeah, we all know the villain and the hero wouldn't cuddle for warmth in canon. But if they did do that, how would they do it?

What counts is often not so much 'would the character do this?' and more 'if the character did do this, how would they do it?' If you get 'how' part right, your readers will probably be willing to buy the rest, because it will still feel like their favourite character. But if it doesn't feel like the character anymore, why are they even reading the fic?

Worry less about whether a character would do something, and more about how they'd sound while doing it.

we go through this every hurricane season but the way people will find any excuse to point the finger at the victims of natural disasters and say cruel shit like "fuck around and find out" like it's not horrifying having to leave behind your home and all your belongings and potentially your pets with the full knowledge that there might not be anything to come back to after... ignoring that there are people that don't have a car or the money to evacuate, ignoring disabled people who have no way to get out, ignoring people that can't find places for their pets to shelter, ignoring people that have medical equipment that can't be moved or replaced, etc... and even if someone stays behind solely because they want to, they still don't deserve to suffer.

as someone who worked extensively in disaster response previously, it is not easy to "just" evacuate, and the relief that comes afterwards is intentionally difficult to obtain. and already the forces that be are trying to spin this narrative that the victims are at fault, to put the blame on them so that if (probably when) people are forced to resort to looting (because the aid never comes) everyone will nod and agree that they're all bad people and deserved it... rather than acknowledging the fact that there was no attempt to make the evacuation accessible and safe for everyone, no guarantee that aid will be waiting for them when they return to a home that has been swept away... no empathy for the fact that these people's entire lives are potentially destroyed with no safety net to catch them.

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love

hypothetical scenario for you all: the real king arthur returns. you meet him and you welcome him into your home. what is the first thing you do with him? keep in mind, this is a man from the 500s (he died in 542), and you are from the 21st century (2024).
