people participating in fandoms they havent seen the source material for is boggling to me. someone once read a fanfic of mine for a show they had not watched and while I was happy they read it because its the best thing ive written yet it feels Off to me because like. I think my story about a repressed gay guy who gets godlike powers is going to give a somewhat inaccurate view of what happens in lego city adventures

YEAH.....I just. I can never get over how much can be lost without knowing a fan-piece's intertext w the source media. Even the most out-there AU's I've made and enjoyed, I always enjoy them BECAUSE of the conversation they're having with the original work, in the ways things are different and the ways they stay the same. Engaging with only half of that conversation means willingly missing out on cool shit that people put thought into.......why do that 🥺

I always regret it when I read a fanfic for something I AM watching/reading but just havent finished yet, either because I missed some juicy commentary on the source material that I couldn't appreciate at the time, or because I missed the way some parts misaligned with my takeaways from the source, sometimes on a fundamental level that I just hadnt been aware of yet. And like, I still can enjoy fan art and writing for stuff I'm not familiar with, but I always enjoy it with the thought in mind that I'm missing out!!

I guess what Im rambling so much trying to say is that YEAH I just do NOT understand how going into fanworks blind is ENOUGH for anyone to let that be their entire relationship to a piece of fiction, because it is NEVER enough for ME........!!!!! WHERES THE MEAT ON THAT....i just dont understand.....

Playing Lies of P and this god damn cathedral is gonna be the death of me.

I've been stuck on the rafter part in the beginning room for over a day and if I don't get past it soon I'm gonna punch a hole thru my own face.

Ohhhhhmy fucking god so my New Friend recently came out as nonbinary/genderfluid and they are gnc af about it, like they wear the most genderbending outfits and are Super Proud to be out. And my parents, who haven't met them yet, invited them to lunch tomorrow.. so I jokingly asked them if they wanted to go and they fucking. said yes?!?!?! So now I'm gonna have to sit my parents down and have a talk about gender and transness and also might wind up coming out to them in the process and jfc it needs to happen anyway but I am so fucking stressed out about it😭

[stabbingandorbeingstabbed]

not a genuine frerardie but the whole jamia doesn't listen to franks music thing is so funny from a frerardie standpoint like he made For Jamia and she was like respectfully i am not reading all of that but i'm happy for you or sorry that happened. so that was one less person who's opinion of his solo music he had to worry about LMAO

[they-hermes]

Curious to see more if your combiner teams/combiner headcanons? Especially for the first five (Constructicons, Stunticons, Aerialbots, Combaticons, & Protectobots).

What kind of dynamics do you see between teams (both Con to Con combiner teams, and Con to Autobot combiner teams) and within teams? Who gets along better with others and how do the combiners feel about their components? (Only thinking platonically here)

I love combiners (especially the Stunticons and Protectobots) to death and there aren't enough combiner fans who truly care about the combiner and the components. Just interested in seeing sole of your headcanons for any/all of those five, if you want to share any!

ahhh combiner fans lets all come together!! this is a loaded question and im happy to answer bc i love combiners and their components! im gonna put em in a little g1 general continuity soup

In general for me i dont really like the idea of combiners being born together as a team i think idws approach where everyone had their own lives until they (by choice or force) became a combiner and learned to work together. also i dont like treating them as children/recently born bots even though thats literally what happened to the aerialbots/ stunticons/technobots. basically an outside force made them combiners instead of being directly built as one

the aerialbots are the only team where i see them referring to eachother as "brothers". i think they're close enough to consider themselves family. the others have more complicated feelings that range from "coworkers" to "tight knitted friendgroup" to "those people who i combine with"

between the teams the autobot gestalts are much more friendlier, Hot Spot and Silverbolt definitely get along, until hot spots energy tires silverbolt out. individually the protectobots are older than the aerialbots, but the aerialbots were a combiner group first so superion is older than defensor. the two teams work together a lot and have common goals. they'll even hang out together either separately or all together, like air raid and blades will spar a lot (and end up in first aids care)

(for idw i imagine rook and alpha bravo get along, for obv reasons)

the decepticon gestalts hateee eachother lmaoo. its a constant battle of 'wow these other freaks are so incompetent and stupid. good thing im the only normal one here' except they're all stupid. onslaught technically has the youngest combiner as bruticus was formed after menasor and devastator but he himself is only a couple of centuries younger than scrapper. motormaster is the youngest yet refuses constructive criticism even tho his combiner is clearly the most unstable and has subpar leadership skills that take a toll on his teams output. actually the rest of the teams dont hate eachother as much as their commanders do, blast off and dead end exchange maintenance tips, and vortex likes hanging around the structies for mindless conversations while they work

and for bot vs cons, they cannot stand eachother. the protectobots are the only ones trying to be nice; the aerialbots are assholes and the cons are worse. dont bring up hot spot or silverbolt around onslaught and motormaster respectively, or they'll both blow a gasket. the combaticons, built head to toe for war destruction and everything worse, cant stand seeing the protectobots act all peaceful and helpfull and shit, its disgusting.

as for the combiners... well they dont think much. see for the average combiner, it's hard to think that your arms and legs are separate people when you're trying not to get your face beaten into. they have some awareness, but very little, and dont know their components names. they can access shared memories and information, but thats about it. defensor hears about his components from the humans and thinks they're nice, superion thinks the war would be over by now if he didn't have to decombine and combine over and over again

LU Pokemon AU

Looking for pokemon with multiple concinesses to build four’s team was very fun ngl, tough it did get op quickly what with the empahise on steel types for his team. Anyhoot enjoy the hc’s :))))

(lord forgive me for the horrible names i’ve given some of these poor mons. I promise to give them proper names in the futures…)

Time Sky Warriors Twilight Wild Legend Hyrule 🧩Four Wind 

Team descriptions under the cut 👋👀

🧩Minccino: Smol. Mousey. Adorable - a sweet minish native. I originally wanted to make mincinno Four’s main mon but that felt a little underwhelming (no hate minny babes sobs). 

Mincinno has an easygoing personality, letting the wind take them where it wants, enjoying all the opportunities that comes its way. They are able to find the small joys in the mundane that most others may misinterpret as childish naivety. They insist on keeping junk they find, puzzling over items trying to figure out how to recycle what it finds.

🧩Mawile: (so i know the pokedex strongly insists mawiles jaw is just a set of horns, but we’re gonna ignore all that and say its a second head. Okay cool sweet nice) 

Their two consciousness are at odds with one another most times, often with the jaw snapping in odd directions trying to tug mawile away from whatever they’re doing. It can be annoying relying on someone else to get everything done but Maws trusts Smiles to listen to them. But eh, its not so bad being in the passenger seat, much simpler in fact not having to worry about much.     

🧩Magnezone: Its endearing seeing someone as large and bulky as Magnezone hovering over a flower its curious over. Similar to Four they’re housing multiple personalities that they will swap between.

1: shy careful   2: easily distracted clumsy   3: bold insistent Each on of their personality will let their curiosity drag them away

🧩Leavanny: Infinite patience - This is a team with 13 consciousness - They will pull on their motherly instincts to wangle each and every present mind into line. You bet when they blow a gasket everyone suffers. 

🧩Aegislash: (similar to mawile we’re gonna tweak actual cannon to suit my needs, in my case the blade and shield are separate entities and have a symbiotic relationship.) 

Sword (gods i promise i’ll give them proper names, mercy i cri) is a timid creature unsure of their own strength. They get overwhelmed easily and constantly beg to hide behind Sheild. This frustrates Sheild to no end, adding to its complex over its passive form. 

They hate seeing Sword belittle themselves, that they can’t understand their own strength, and their potential to be a powerful duo. Though they don’t know how to show Sword this and their attempts at ‘encouragement’ often come across as bullying. 

🧩Hydreigon: Iirc dink is a big part of four’s story so we’re gonna try and squeeze him in here.

I really have no idea what im doing here so gonna leave it be and work on it later when i learn more about fours dink.

---

Notes: I reeeeeeeeally wanted to include metagross in four’s team with each cores’ colour matching his spirits’. Tho the 1-2-3 pattern had to stay with four tying it all together nicely.

Honorable mention to spida tho. I thought of a them having a chameleon like affect with their spot arrangement switching whenever a different persona took the wheel.

I actually havent played that many zelda games, and surprisingly of the few i did play four swords and minish were some of them. But that was forever ago when they literally first released, so i remember next to nothing about those games.

Hello-hello! How is your everything, dear writer? (im so nervous can you tell) I am here for the match, please and thank you!

I'm 23 yo woman, bi. 6'1, muscular/chubby build, short black hair, a lot of tattoos. Short-tempered, giggly bitch, love all things horror - from movies to games. Love sweet things, hate cooking. Hopeless romantic at heart, introvert with a penchant to days long hiking trips alone when work allows for it.

Hello hello! I’m sorry this took so long to make but I got the perfect person for you!!!

I think you’re gonna get paired up with…🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

Tsukumo Yuki!(God I love women)

Alright now hear me out😭

I know Yuki is very extroverted and out there but bbg I feel like that’s what you need. Yuki will absolutely flip your world on its axis and show you things you’ve never seen before.

I feel like she can diffuse your short temper with ease because she’s honestly just really chill and playful so she won’t take it too seriously if you blow a gasket😭 she’s young at heart so she’s definitely down for whatever activities you are. She’ll defer to what you wanna do that day because honestly, nothing really freaks her out and she’s not worried about either of your safety due to her special grade status and training.

You better believe she’s hopping on the motorcycle zooming around tokyo to get you a sweet little treat after dinner. She will always be down for a sweet treat even if she doesn’t want one so you don’t feel put out.

At the end of the day you’re still an introvert so she respects your need for space and only asks that you check in with her to let her know where you’re going and that you’re still alive.

She’s playful and nonchalant but she’s also pretty sweet once you get to know her. She can be stubborn because she just wants what’s best for you but she definitely shows her love through actions instead of words.

Activities you do together…

•watching horror films. Like I mentioned prior Yuki doesn’t spook easily so she’s the perfect partner to check out a new film or franchise with.

•joyrides down abandoned roads going way too fucking fast(with proper helmets and gear, she wants her baby unharmed)

•tattoo dates!!! Yuki isn’t inked yet but once again she’s down for anything, you just gotta name the time and place and she’ll be there.

if i got into the falsettos tag and see the words this post contains filtered content one more time im gonna blow a gasket

[identifying-cars-in-posts]

thoughts on the funky little 2000’s impreza outback sports? im looking into buying one >:3 its been sitting in a parking lot for ~6 months and supposedly just needs solenoids and fluids (and probably a battery, though the thing looks brand new so im gonna try and charge it first) to get running.

oh those are solid, late 90s through early 2000s subarus are the best ones imo. if it’s been sitting just check all the seals and gaskets, those can get stiff or break down a bit if they sit. subarus are known for blowing head gaskets so one that’s been sitting should almost certainly have an eye kept on it. but i doubt six months is long enough to do sizeable damage, i’ve had a car sit that long and start right up no problem (granted it was a corolla). assuming everything’s good have fun with your new subaru!

[pearl-blue-musings]

(I've decided to start counting how many times I've submitted this, FUCK TUMBLR. This is the 14th time. Happy birthday, bby 😭)

"Wake up, my love." Shinso's voice pulled you out of your sleep, warmth enveloping you as he pulled you close.

"Mm, nooo. You're comfyyy." You whined, curling into him.

"As much as I'd love to stay like this, I have a surprise for you." A chuckle escaped him, his eyes shining with love as he looked at you.

"Whyyy?"

"Because it's your birthday, silly." Running his fingers through your hair, he managed to pull you out of your sleepy haze. With a big stretch, you gazed up at him. You couldn't help but admire how lovely he looked, even with his bed head and tired eyes.

"Whats the surprise?" As you traced your finger over his chest, you saw a slight sparkle. Furrowing your brows, you pulled your hand back.

"Oh my go- Really?" A beautiful diamond set in a gold band was now placed on your finger.

"I wanted to do a crazy date night to do this, but I couldn't wait anymore. Plus, I knew you'd say yes."

"You don't know that!" You teased.

"Yeah? Those pretty noises you made for me last night would say otherwise." His lips were pressed again hickeys he left across your neck.

With a soft growl, he bit down, making you squeal.

"Let's celebrate, shall we?"

-🌸 (I'll blow a fucking gasket if this doesn't go through. Tumblr, please. Let my fav be happy.)

BABE STOP IM

also fuck tumblr cause 14??????? Too many 😩😩

But honestly I really fucking needed this I’m sobbing at this rn I’m gonna read this over and over and over and over like the surprise ring???????? I’m CRYING HES SO PERFECT I’m saving this forever

[angelgendered]

How do I broach the subject with my mother that I'm going to start gender affirming care soonish. Like as in, if I can get an appointment once I've had my next payday, im doing it. Even if it had to be face to face and I have to go to London cause iirc that's where this service is based...

I have to use a specific service cos my gp won't share care with most gender clinics cos he's had issues with restrictions from some and prescriptions from others not turning up. So he has suggested GenderCare and Dr Lorimer to me. So I'm gonna see where that goes. If that fails, then he has other clinicians uder GenderCare that i can talk to or have appointments with also!

Oh! A new friend is going to sign my deed poll as a witness to save me going to the solicitors and paying out the arse for that too, which is so lovely of them!!

My mum will blow a gasket at me doing this without her permission or consulting her but I'm so done with caring and making myself small and palatable for her so she can be lazy and keep calling me my deadname and daughter and all that shite. She acts like she cares, but she's absolutely a control freak who just wants a say over my health along with every damn thing else lol

[goatpaste]

i really don’t get why people get so heated if someone doesn’t like a ship/character. bruabba is my favorite ship with abbacchio being my favorite character. i like your art for your art and people need to realize it’s okay to have different opinions. it’s BORING if you revolve your entire twitter experience defending a ship or character 😭

RIGHT

like, i keep my mouth shut on the top 90% of the time lol, and when i bring up my dislike for the character or ship i keep it light hearted because it doesnt actually matter it really does

and a lot of my mutuals like it to! it doesnt even matter

but im allowed to dislike that and they know that?

and if your someone who is gonna blow a fucking gasket about something like this you need to seek help, it does NOT matter

like the poll is silly its lighthearted, its me going, yknow lol i dont like a lot of popular ships come and join me in my hater zone for a moment for fun so i can use the new poll system

and their shitting themselves

[degloved]

saw someone earlier genuinely blowing a gasket absolutely losing their rag about people keeping a list to track the books they read throughout the year. "are you so stupid you can't remember reading a book" brother if i see a book ive read im gonna know ive read it but girl i read cca 50 a year. if you ask me to name them i will forget some. esp if its been a while. like. do you average 3 a year so you can just list them off the top of your head?? + i like doing stats lmao i like doing charts of my spreadsheets at the end of the year for fun. is that a crime
