I had the slow realization that when we will finally be on the real reveal that "oh yes everything in this manga is only here for the poor Yugi boys uwu. And the mysteries and all plots are just here to make the twins story shine" the manga will have lost me entirely lol

We are so close to a clock keeper's backstory but atp it would be foolish to think that the Yugis won't have something to do with it or its reveal and honestly I am just sad :'))) I know the manga is around Hanako and Tsukasa but doing the biggest fxk you to all your other characters for the main three is insane to me

I am still happy we got tbhk and all the character ofc, just really sad to see in which direction it has been going for some time (it started around chap 96 for me rip)

I'm thinking about Gillian Taylor, lesbian (in my heart), standing on that stolen bird-of-prey on their way back to the 23rd century, and trying to figure out the correct way to (tactfully) ask if Kirk and Spock are gay.

Back in the 80s, she'd just assumed that they were gay. I mean, dressed like that? She'd also, however, assumed that they were on drugs, probably a hallucinogen of some kind, which - turned out to be not quite true. So, really, anything was fair game, now, and she no longer knew if they were gay. Maybe that's just how men in the 23rd century were with each other.

She tried to watch, to analyze their actions objectively, but with how busy they were making sure that the ship didn't explode, they weren't really interacting all that closely with one another, and she truly couldn't tell.

So instead she just stood there, next to Admiral Kirk, trying to find the right words to use, words which wouldn't be heard as an insult if she was wrong or if the 23rd century was no more enlightened about these sorts of things.

And then Dr. McCoy walked in and, casual as you please, said, "Jim, where the devil has your husband run off to?"

Husband. He said the word so easily, like it was - normal. Like it was safe and accepted, for a man, an admiral, even, to be gay. He didn't even glance at Gillian as he said it, never even seemed to consider that someone might react poorly. Maybe no-one ever did, in the 23rd century.

Everything sort of faded out of focus for Gillian, after that. She didn't hear another peep until McCoy, concerned, put his hand on her shoulder, and asked if she was alright.

She just smiled in response and told him that, yes, she was doing very well.

Because if Admiral Kirk could have a husband... that meant that she could have a wife.

Oh yes, she thought she'd be quite happy in the 23rd century.

Prompt in Memes 6

Let's make it some in-world memes this time :)

[tojiscrack]

sneak peak, 'liar, liar' chap.6 : junior year

liar, liar masterlist here:

he flinched when your voice rose once more:

"you're taking ap math?" you demanded, only just realising that he had one extra lesson than you, yuji and nobara. it was at the very top of the table, labelled 'period 0'.

"don't give him an opportunity to act more pompous than he already is," scoffed nobara, looking uninterested. you did not comment on how she still peeked over the sheet when she thought you weren't looking.

"wow," yuji began, looking pleasantly in awe at megumi's hefty schedule. he leaned back in his seat, careful not to pull himself too far back in the event that he might fall off. you secretly wished that he did, if only to stifle your current shock. "so you'll start the day earlier... won't you be exhausted when we get to football practice?"

that was a good question. since coach yaga had stubbornly given both megumi and yuji spots on the school's football team, it had since been announced that practice would take place every day after school unless otherwise mentioned. with megumi's mornings starting earlier than the rest of you, and his days finishing later, he was bound to be torn down with tiredness. although he acted like a robot all the time (eat, sleep, make a rude comment about you, repeat) he was still a human who needed rest. more school meant more social interaction. more social interaction meant a drained megumi. things would only go south from there.

he shrugged at the question.

"i'll be fine," he answered, unbothered.

you disagreed. "you'll die —"

"— revive me with your mermaid abilities then —"

you hoped you pinched him hard enough to bruise. 

"wait," you said, halting your attack on him with a slow frown. he took the opportunity to rip your hands off his ribs and shuffled away from you. you ignored him, sliding down to sit hip-to-hip with him. "if you do ap math in the morning, we can't walk to school together."

for the third time that day, megumi snatched back his timetable from you.

"good luck," he said. "you cross the road like you have nine lives."

"you basically just told her that you wouldn't care if she died," yuji intervened, quick to jump to your defence despite the many times you would argue with him too. 

"this is what happens when you hype him up," said nobara, pointing at him with enough aggression, any outsider would probably assume that he'd committed blasphemy — you liked to think he had. 

"i'm surrounded by idiots," you thought you heard him mutter. 

liar, liar masterlist here:

notes: guys, this is the chapter AFTER the (unreleased) chapter 5. thought i'd feed it to you 'cause i don't have a sneak peak prepared for chapter 5 itself, and this was sitting in my drafts, unattended. and cuz it's been over a month since the last update (and will take another month to actually complete and release a new chapter) i thought i'd give you guys SOMETHING rather than nothing :)

[necromycologist]

also btw if you all have not already guessed i have lost the battle against falling in love w jean so embarrassingly badly. like the foxes first season badly. like neil trying to be nonprovocative in press interviews badly. myjeannnnnn...

I just watched spider verse 2 yesterday.. masterpiece bro

[the-blue-wraith]

I understand the sentiment of "DA isn't dead because it's yours now" but to me personally? The series is over. I hope Veilguard will be the last game. Bioware will never "return to form" bc all the writers are gone. I just don't have that passion anymore not only bc Veilguard was a disappointment to me, but also it's sad to see what Bioware has become.

[hagbrigade]

today:

Walked 5 miles bc no one wanted to speak up and say “hey maybe we should turn around it’s 80 degrees”. but it was lovely

tinashe concert 🫶🏿 and i met Raveena she was very sweet.

saw a SNAKE on that 5 mile walk it was a big one too. this is the same !!!urban!!! trail i saw the coyote on. when i say urban i mean this stretch is entirely paved and almost never more than 20feet from at least two commercial establishments

also saw gina rodriguez when i went to brunch this morning?

[djsherriff-responses]

Now it's likely that Dolph is only 18 at the beginning of the manga and doesn't even meet Alex till after a time skip of sorts (based on the premise , we'll probably  explore his time as military captain and other relationships he has) but I'm still kinda shocked at the possibility that Alex met Dolph far younger than I first thought

My general thought process regarding Dolph’s age and his relationship with Alex went like this:

Dolph went into the military/became a cyborg around 16-18, left around 25-28 , met Alex and dated him till the betrayal happened in the show proper where (I assume) Dolph is just entering his 30s

There's nothing to disprove my theory as of writing this, but if Dolph is actually younger than what I guessed, even just by a few years?

I don't know if I'm ready for the Dolph pain train

[asexual-levia-tan]

the heavenly demon being 40 years old while looking younger than 20 reminding cale that he is, in fact, also nearing his 40s (and then him immediately discarding that thought) is something i never stop thinking about btw. its so funny how much cale doesn't want to think about it.

hey on an unrelated note how old is deruth exactly--

[zymstarz]

yeah sure that's how i'll [re]come out

[quaksi]

I have one last goal until the new year and that is finishing this fucking book, there are 70 more pages pray for me

[kalosian-woods]

to add on to the previous anon’s post, there’s a short of Bonnie and Clemont meeting Cilan, so maybe you could rewrite that or have Serena similarly meet Iris (or both!)

Yah, I watched that once I finished XY the first time (literally took me ages to find it, I was wondering 'hey, I know there has to be a special somewhere') (if only Serena had her own, seriously where is Hoenn :'U).

I'm also teetering there about including it because tbh that ep was very... idk, divorced from canon in a way?? I mean I know they usually aren't as connected (and Cilan doesn't give that much in his own ones) but both Dawn's and Iris's connect to their arcs. Chronicles also really emphasised the change that everyone went through and all of these examples show the next steps everyone is taking. Again, Cilan isn't much of a 'decisive' character as he's more go with the flow, but he had a good time with Brock and they had a (very weird but) legit reason to know each other but didn't + actual conversations that made them reflect on their journeys. But with the XY one (the only one... sorry Legend of XY&Z), a lot of the focus went to Cilan and his hyperspecific interests and apart from one scene from Bonnie and Clemont each, I had no idea that they changed from ep 1. Honestly. Ignoring their mon acquisition. And don't get me started on their futures :'>

Maybe I'm just not that much of a Cilan fan rn (it ebbs and flows lol) but it definitely would need a lot of heavy reworking overall. And (thank you so much Pearl for the ideas seriously) there really is just as much potential with Iris and Clemont (both of them having high talents as kids and scouted for Gym Leader buisiness + connecting with one type of mon a lot) as with Cilan and Serena (multi-tasking geniuses that desperately need a break + investigating/really having bonds with mons). But also I really just want girl power too lol. If we do go with Cilan and Clemont, I feel like a good bonding point for them beyond the whole natural vs tech debate they sort of had??? could be what they have gained from leaving the Gym and what can they bring to their own Gyms. The fact that Cilan is still travelling beyond his journey with Ash and (presumably) seeing other bonds between Pokemon and Trainer is a goldmine for Mr I-Couldn't-Handle-The-Gym-At-One-Point-And-Lost-It-To-My-Robot. Both of them seeing beyond what they've previously known. Having mons that aren't their usual Type. Trusting the outside and knowing when to take your own journey. What differenciates them from Brock is that they still have a Gym to return to and while... Cilan hasn't really made it too clear (we'll never know if they go the BW2 route, but considering the anime hopefully not), I feel like there's a lot to bond with over there. And of course, siblings (and Grass + Electric mons why didn't they talk about it???).

Absolutely no hate to your idea though, you've reminded me that the special existed lol (and got these thoughts running, I'm just really overworked these days heh). Adapting a similar thing for Serena and Iris does seem similar to one of the ideas I had before about them, and honestly, it was pretty funny lol. No idea how I'll do it in actuality, but thinking about it is fun lol. And once again, ignore my rant if it's too negative but I really wanted to let go of that steam for a while now ^^'
