Projects for the Future

Alright so...I kinda got bit by this a while ago but have been mulling it over with some friends. These are by no means going to get published any time soon but with some...questionable...things that have been put out lately I kinda wanted to show my take and how I would have done them.

These are both Role swaps by the way and because I'm me...

That means an absolutely heavy amount of Khori.

(put below the "read more" for mobile people's ease!)

First Story:

Role swap where Uzi had been the one that died that night Nori should have. Now I know what you're thinking, "but lady, you said Khori things..." and you'd be right! 'Cuz Khan's not Uzi's dad in this one. Our DDs are Serial Designation: K, Serial Designation: A and Serial Designation: L (that last one might get changed). Better known as their canon counterparts Khan, Alexei and Liam (again, last one might change). Nori is still the damaged 002 from CFL and Yeva is still 048 as well. What had happened was when Nori and Yeva escaped the labs, Nori was damaged in a way that her memory had shorted out and she barely remembered anything from it...just that there was some dark place that she didn't want to remember and that she had met Yeva there. They had escaped both with two UNNs who became known as Uzi and Doll. At least...Nori came out with Uzi. Her father is unknown (mainly because Nori's memory is damaged) and likely perished in the wake of the collapse trying to get Nori and Uzi out.

Uzi ends up dying as a child from one of the Disassemblers and it absolutely breaks Nori. Nori insists her daughter is ok and alive just...unable to come home. So she waits for a good amount of time every day by the doors until Yeva takes her home or she falls asleep (which Yeva picks her up and brings her back to the apartment). Yeva does not have the heart to tell Nori that Uzi is dead nor does she have the heart to talk about what happened to them down in the labs...about the Solver and everything. Nori's Solver seems to have regressed (but a lot of this is Yeva slipping oil into Nori's drinks and food to make sure she doesn't go into rampage mode). Doll and Yeva's husband (unnammed atm) end up dying to one of the Disassemblers (haven't decided...but it's probably going to be the third one, whether that's L or whatever person I give that swap to). So yay Doll swap is now Yeva.

Nori one day ends up running out of the colony, in a daze probably mourning her daughter and husband when she runs into K. Ends up beating him with a wrench and knocking him into a clear state (or she ends up saving him from a bad hunt where he was injured because she knows that look...and she hates that look of loss and defeat.)

Cue the whole thing of them figuring out what the Solver is yada yada. Ends up going to the labs where K ends up running into (and getting saved by) a very small and grumbly Solver core...Nori was right, Uzi survived. Barely. She's...none too happy her mother's dating a freaking sky demon because "THOSE THINGS KILLED YOUR FREAKING DAUGHTER!" But eventually comes to accept her Mom is...happy. And even more happy with both her AND K in her life...will eventually get it so Uzi gets her own body again. Yeva ends up connecting with A, the big bear of a Disassembler who...may have lost just as much as she did before. Eventually ends up with them having a kid who Yeva names after the daughter she lost long ago.

Second Story

So, this one is also a swap au but...with a tiny little twist. It's an age swap. Yes yes I know this is cringe af and weird but hear me out. I know there's an age swap with Uzi being the Mom and Khan being her son but, imma be blunt, I don't think it...feels like a proper swap. Rather it just...took the original personalities of the person they were swapping with and gave them to the person playing the role. Ain't happening here. The idea is Khan Doorman is the shining star student, valedictorian genius of his class beloved by everyone in that bunker, kinda...weird in the way he's too smart for his own good but he's charismatic. . . and then there's his absolutely batty insane mother Uzi who is a pariah menace to society and everyone fears to get on the bad end of her little 'projects' (she has magnetized people to the ceilings because they pissed her off). Khan and his mother have a strained relationship...mainly because she thinks he's boring and needs to lighten up a bit and he thinks she's a bit...wild...and lashing out ever since his father Emmett Doorman died years ago. But they do love each other and would do anything for each other. Which...is why Khan gives chase to his absolutely insane mother when she sneaks out of the safety of the bunker to kill a Murder Drone. He ends up instead finding Tall, Dark and Pretty Serial Designation (Nori. I haven't quite decided what letter to give her because well...technically it'd be N because first letter). And her squadmates Serial Designation Y(eva) and (haven't figured out who the third one is yet, whoopsies...possibly L for Luke or A for Alice).

Of course, Khan is infected with the Solver, Uzi I haven't decided if she is or not...part of me is like "give her a break and have her just be awesomely crazy and angsty on her own that she made 002 fall head over heels for her". And SD Nori finds Core Emmett in the mines...which would lead to a heartbreaking Nuzi moment later as Uzi actually...breaks the edgy angry persona and shows vulnerability as she hugs the love of her life close to her...as she thought she'd lost him forever. And me being me, Y ends up being enamoured with Khan's best friend and madlad sharpshooter Alexei because you can pry him from my cold dead hands...

I haven't really gotten much on those swaps other than the bits of where Khan, Nori, Yeva, Alexei and Uzi fit in. But I wanted to share them because they've been rattling in my brain long enough...

Random Lore-Bits:

Been holding onto these few ideas for a while now, so imma spam chat these onto my blog for safe keeping.

#1 Craig and Octavio’s generation:

• Unlike in canon, where they’re 100 years OLD (and are essentially veterans of the OG Great Turf Wars), they’re actually the second generation of their given sides of the decades old Wars. In fact, their fathers were the OG generals/leaders of the inklings and the Octolings.

>> Even when the inklings side lost during the war, the original captain of the inklings’ side of the war taught Craig that they should become pacifists (hence, why Craig was able to let go of the past, and have a healthier relationship with the Octolings).

>> Of course, with Octavio, since his side had won the wars years ago. He’s taken to heart his father’s/the former ‘DJ King’ ways on segregation between the inklings and Octolings. I would say in this AU he’s even more cruel, more so than he is in canon (it’s still that same motivation where he thinks he’s doing the right thing for his people, but ultimately, his actions hurts everyone on both sides).

#2 What If…

• Instead of Marina ultimately sacrificing herself to save both Sean and Pearl from the army, it was HER who managed to escape alive? But Sean was to perish.

>> Or, as @nipotazzi suggested another Alt. Marina WAS there to raise Pearl, but they were still stuck together in the Army. Honestly, that would be rough for BOTH of them 😭 (Poor Marina wouldn’t be able to show her own daughter any compassion, maybe the Octolings would go as far as to scold Pearl for even calling her ‘mom’ at all).

>> Another alt. I had for this idea was if Marina managed to escape all on her own away from the army, and found her way to the Splatlands plaza. Where she would reunite with her adoptive family (the Cuttlefishes).

• Either way, I likey both of these scenarios (yet, RIP Sean 💀- at least we might get to see GHOST SEAN- GHOST SEAN-)

#3 Shoreline’s characterization:

• NGL, I’m sort of bored with how I haven’t really explored Shore or Big Man’s characters. For me, they currently feel like 1D side characters. First I’m exploring Shoreline’s character:

• Unlike in the original AU, where Shoreline was basically a jerk, he’s more cheery. However, it’s more like a ‘front’ he puts up sometimes.

>> Just like me… He‘s super kind and caring, but, all at the expense of his own wellbeing. In a little side story I wrote, it explores how he actually has a hard time in socializing (aghhh so like me 😭), but that he pretends to be super happy and cheerful around others. I wanna write his and Pearl’s friendship around the fact that Shoreline doesn’t need to put up a front around Pearl, he can just be more of his ‘true’ self around her.

(Welp, that’s all I got for now. Enjoy my insane ramblings of the insane lore I’ve created lololol 🤪)

(BTW I love Ash- he’s actually me fr fr-) Me after I spent an hour formatting and splurging about all of this-

[tea-the-not-understanding]

Finally... Holiday and no more school

Now I can work on MY project. I've been working on a map for Nautila. And I've been struggling on designing her Seeing! form. So after a few times designing the map idea and listening to some musics, I found a song that matched to her voice and fitting her in the Seeing! form as well.

Anyways, this is the first sketch idea where she's a swimming floating skeleton with large eyes poking out of the shell. But then I scrapped that idea because I dislike the idea of having tendrils and tentacles around her body, it gonna slow my time animating that and figuring out a code to see how am I going to make character moves and runs with different animations. Fun. Anyways, this is the official design on the Seeing! form

More siren and skeletal form, almost closely to a grim reaper. And the character you'll be playing as in a player haven't decided yet but it'll going to be someone with the lore that matching with her lullaby and singing with this song

It fit her very well and I'm just trying to figure out how I'm going to animate her in 3d with the lips scynce to the lyrics. But not the whole song tho because it'll kill me lol

I were thinking that her story will be sorrowful and sadness of watching her love ones perished one by one and she couldn't help so much. All because of her curiosity to discovery leads her to who she is now and even then, she wish that she know some form of medical ways to help others or at least be something useful then just a stupid researcher who admire fossils and sea creatures. She finds and see herself useless every moments and even she knew how much creatures and beings living dislike her or didn't interact with her. She know that she's an outcast and see that what she love or her own hobby and job wouldn't bring admirations or ability to make a proper friends. Let alone a fake friends which put her more into sorrows.

She's were almost left forgotten and the only one who come to visits her from time to time is Twinkle and yet, it still didn't uplift her sorrow and sadness inside her. That is until she able to see ghosts and seem to be able to communicate to them. Those ghosts are fishes and the fossils of their past selves. Saying that they see her sorrow and sadness and will be her friends forever, and all she has to do is accept them. She took that deal without a second thought and completely mesmerized and spent months isolating. Seeing that not many noticed her disappearance only fuel her sorrow more. That is until Twinkle come to visits her and this time, he won't take her word 'leave' this time and bust the door down and enter the museum. Her own pride and joy, just to see so many ghost fishes flying around and Nautila as the mother reaper.

Her museum still in a work in progress, because I am pretty shitty at designing invironment this big and it my first time on it and I'm screaming. But next week, I'll be visiting my friend who been studying about architect and interior design so Imma ask for her help. Y'all who read this far can also suggest me and I will try and added to it too!!! But for now, I'm trying to work on the large tank area and this is the progress so far. Pretty huge but it supposed to be for the ghost fishes to be swimming around this area.

Anyways, thank you for reading this and follow my work, I'm actually trying my best to make a sequel to the game idea of this. :D

coding for later, now I'm working on models and map for easier for my brain to function.

[theboarsbride]

Hehehehe ok ok ok. Sir John and Bear Wife. What if- now hear me out. What if she holds him close in the night time hours. Teeth on some piece or part of him, claws along his back, head pressed to the scruff of her neck and bosom. At first it frightens him. How she clings to him in the night, the threat that she would pull him apart and rend him asunder should he ever think to leave. But sooner or later… he finds a cold comfort in it. The way her claws sink just a little deeper. The way her teeth always leave marks on him… and even the fear itself seems home to him eventually. It’s what he’s owed…

OH EM GEE OK OKOOKOKOK OK YEAHYEAHYEH OK SO IMMA YAP🐻‍❄🩸

Dude yeah Sir John is terrified by the IDEA of being held by bear wife, an abomination that is indecent and crude. There is an erotic element to her horror, and its that eroticism and female sexuality, being embraced by that, that makes him go "oh, ew, no :(" ("*insert "well mark me down as scared AND horny"*)

But you're right!! He does find comfort in her holding him because touch-starved (BECAUSE I SAY SO!!) and he's cold and he doesn't trust his own crew and fellow captains for companionship, comfort, and warmth (womp womp he did this to himself lmfao, we know this)... he'd sooner take comfort in being embraced by what is essentially the manifestation of his greatest anxieties than his own men, and it only grows worse and worse as he becomes sleep-deprived, his optimism and wonder is fading, etc.

I also have images in my head of how she loves cradling his throat between her teeth and hfhgshghghgrehghsgshgfhfdghd yeah.......yeah..... the inherent monstrosity of female carnal desire tbh....

AND!! The fact he grows so close and 'in-love' with bear wife's touch is important to his arc in my 'Sir John lives long enough to engage in cannibalism AU' heehee...

SO!! He lives just long enough to engage in cannibalism, and the moment human meat goes down his throat bear wife's visage becomes completely human, and she's silent, she stares at him, she doesn't touch him, she just stands and watches him, silently and unblinking. And THAT is when she is the most horrifying to him. Bear wife, as a bear-lady, was always playful, would speak to him (granted, most of the time she was mocking him, but because the way he sees her is influenced by his love for his wife there were sprinklings of affections in her mockery), and would hold him. As a human, she says nothing and does nothing but watch him in silence, and it's so horrifying because he's lost his sole source of comfort and it forces him to reflect, essentially making him realize that it never mattered if he were alive or dead as a captain because either way his men perish. It shows to him how inadequate of a leader he is, that he really is useless, and that just because he has some badges and a title doesn’t make him impervious to sin and downfall and loss of humanity, it doesn't make him any different than the men he would look down upon and disrespect.

JUST EYYEEEYEYEYEYYEYEEEEHEHEHEEEEE..... need to eat that old man...need to be reason his self image begins to warp heehejhjhjfghjfhjgh......... BUT THANK U FOR LETTING ME YAP RAAAAGH!!!!!!💖

[ladychandraofthemoone]

Oki now I'm curious about your Alfred (on totally normal and not simp wise levels) like does he always need to do deals and how does his lamp work and does he usually carry it with him?? Etc etc I need to know everything abt him pls 👀👀💚💚

All righty!! Imma be rambling a lot so first off I totally love him as well like he’s so messed up in a positive way OK well yeah I was mainly inspired by this Thomas fan film called MYSAERY-The Engine Prideful by Tines Sensahthe(where Alfred gets them glowing eyes) on the downfall and prices of greed, pride jealousy and envy of him being able to grant wish, anything you can imagine and desire. and then he wishes he wants, with it getting lost in translation or too straightforward it’ll happened instantly but at the price of him having your soul in five years or if you die earlier or within those five years/before they end he’ll come and drag you to hell.

The wishing tunnel is that he was literally the spirit of it and I like that idea so much so it’s basically the same concept except he’s one of “Proteus” ‘successors’ cause Proteus (he’s kinda like Gabriel) is an entity who came around the time Lady appeared and he’s kind of messed up entity who’s thinks humanity should be erased and recreate the universe again where he and Lady avoid each other, but he screws both Alfred and Kyle up really badly though they handled it differently albeit terribly more so on Alfred’s side.

Proteus comes in around the time Alfred gets booted out of Sodor for his behavior and nearly killing Cecil among other things(he’d doesn’t try and kill Gordon and Henry here cause he’s friends with Gordon cause family issues and lner solidarity go brrr until everything falls apart) and offers him magic and abilities to get payback for a price of course but then lady steps in and she’s like nope and as punishment, she puts Alfred in the tunnel so he doesn’t cause any harm but Proteus’s magic is still inside him so he acts like a jinn which is a big inspiration for his version cause he’s the opposite of Kyle so he’s a foil to him in their views on life and letting folks live or die and unlike Kyle who’s invisible to the naked eye and only seen by other spirits and that Kyle can’t really grant wishes while Alfred can be seen but he can only do deals and grant wishes to actually get out of the tunnel for a certain amount of time till he is forced to return cause he’s bound to it and later the teakettle he’s in.

Alfred’s for his part agrees with a majority of proteus’s views that they are selfish and this isn’t helped by people/humanoids whi when they find him got many greedy self-fulling demands that he will grant despite the consequences of their actions (he gets a thrill to see them fail and burn to the ground) plus a majority of the time they perished before the 5 years end and he gladly swoops in for his end of the bargain cause they’ll never escape if they even try and back out. On terms on how he gets along with the others he’s got rather mixed loyalties with Proteus cause he senses that he’s hiding some secrets well so is he he’s good at reading folks like that, he gets along well with Godred over bonding being trapped in one place for so long even when they fight and argue, torn between nervous and frustrated around Timothy he gets unnerved by him and got the worse relationship with Lucy,Kyle and Lady as they’re constantly telling him off over his treatment of the souls he keeps locked and trapped in jewelry(like the beads broach and earrings he wears)where Lady offend visits him and judges the souls he has so that they could peacefully pass on if they wish much to his annoyance though he’s too intimidated to do much he’s tried before it didn’t end well for him so sly remarks then.

Lucy is the Grimm Reaper, shed’s like Death from Puss and Boots Alfred’s messing with fate he’s taking advantage of others cause it makes him feel powerful and he’s doesn’t care about how harmful his actions are,she’s constantly trying to cut him off a few legs and both make arguments over how the other is literally burnt up and rotting (the glowing green and shadow hands Alfred has is from Lady, a punishment and warning while the scars are from fights he’s gotten overtime). Kyle, wowie they don’t get along Kyle will jump him whenever he has the chance cause Alfred and Godred kidnapped Stanley(narrow gauge/msr his boyfriend) and Alfred has tried to convince Kyle that’s all humans are terrible, cause they both fought in wars and that’s how Kyle perished right by the hands of humans (and how humanoids were more likely to be sacrificed and mistreated in humanoid au) and Kyle focuses on the positive aspects of life and he’s treated with much more respect and loved but Alfred constantly reminds how he’s bound to the lucky lamp and unable to be heard or seen by anyone they throws jabs at each other and poke holes in their views and he and godred constantly calls him proteus much to his annoyance and anger.

For for the lamp or teakettle part, he does need to carry it around but he mainly has others do it for him cause he’s kindave petty and mainly cause of the deal he and Thomas did cause Thomas was in a near-death experience but he can’t teleport around like Kyle does with the Lucky Lamp much to his chagrin but hey babysteps with unlearning unhealthy mannerisms.

Ghosts

Josuke Higashigata x Black GN Reader Fluff

AGEDup! RoomiesAU, ModernAU, Platonic(no ship)

Word Count: 1123 (give or take)

Hearing loud shuffling and rummaging from downstairs, I take off my headphones to listen better and sigh, wondering which one of my clumsy roommates was getting into trouble. I pause my music, resting my phone and headset on my bed before I make my way out my room. I jog down the stairs, grabbing the pole of the banister to spin off the last step.

I walk into the kitchen to see (Y/n) rummaging through the cupboards. Cans and different containers of food were scattered all over the counters making me contort my face in confusion. I watch for a couple more seconds as they add cans to one of the shelves in the wide open cupboard.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm reorganizing this cluttered ass kitchen."

"Cluttered?"

"I blame you for real."

"Wha- me?!"

"Yeah cuz whenever we go food shopping, you and Okuyasu just throw whatever wherever, with no system--no home training!"

"No home training?! Hey, if it's one thing I have, it's home training!"

"You sound too confident."

"I am!"

"Then you're just a bad friend cuz I wouldn't let my friend go around thinking it was okay to put perishables in the damn cabinet!"

I tune out the rest of their rant when hearing the soft creaking of wood from somewhere. Okuyasu isn't here right now so nobody else is walking around in the house; so what the hell is that? Wait! My eyes dart to the shelf behind them as they spoke, seeing it sink slightly from the weight of the cans on it. They suck their teeth and turn back to the cabinet with another can.

"(Y/n), wait!"

They look over their shoulder as they place it on the shelf, "Hm?"

"Shining!"

My stand appears and in a half a second it caught the cans before they hit the floor or them. (Y/n) staggers backwards with a gasp while I sigh from, clutching my chest and trying to catch my breath. That was close. I take a few steps towards them to ask if they were okay but freeze realizing they were pointing at Shining Diamond while he fixed the shelf and put all cans back.

Shit. They stammered in confusion and fear making my eyes widen. Shit-shit-shit! Should I tell 'em? I can’t not, right? they were right there! It’s too late to play it off, I didn’t react like they did.

“Josuke, we gotta call someone. Yeah, I think we should call someone." Their voice trembled as they struggle to stay calm, "You know, paranormal wise. Or dip. Yeah, dipping; that sounds like the smartest thing to do right now.”

“Uh wh-what for?”

"You don’t see the cans floating? Maybe I'm tripping..."

"I-I...well--maybe it was the wind...?" Am I dumb?

They run to the living room, "Did you let me move into a haunted apartment?!”

Dammit. Now or never; and never’s not really an option. "Uh...if I tell you, you...you gotta promise you won't freak out anymore.”

“What? Josuke–!”

“And that won't tell anyone."

They back away, "You're haunted?! The ghost attached itself to you?"

"What, no! I mean, well..." I groan, pinching the bridge of my nose, "Just listen! Ah jeez, Mr. Jotaro's gonna kill me."

"Josuke, I'll kill you if you don't tell me what the hell's going on. If this is one of your pranks, I swear, Imma fuck you up."

"Okay, alright! Just promise you won’t tell anybody, I mean it. It could mean big trouble for all of us, especially you cuz you don’t have a Stand.”

“A Stand?”

“(Y/n)!”

“Okay, okay I swear! Just explain!”

I sigh deeply, "My...Stand fixed everything.”

"Who? Your what?"

"Yeah; he's like...my soul...personified...kinda so I call it a ‘who’ cuz it’s basically just me. But you could call it an ‘it’ if that makes you feel better."

"No, no; I’ll call him a ‘him’ if that means he won’t hurt me.”

“It's okay; we’re one in the same.” I chuckle nervously, “It won’t hurt you if I don’t want to, like I said it’s basically me. It’s just easier if I show you.”

 I hold up my hands in surrender and step towards them, hoping they believe me. They take a deep breath follow me back to the kitchen, even if it was just the doorway. Shining Diamond emerges from my body and picks up one of the cans from the newly fixed shelf, making (Y/n) gasp and look at me with wide eyes before slowly stepping further into the kitchen.

"This has gotta be one of your pranks."

"Sorry, you can't see him. You're not a stand user so you can't; only other users can."

They cautiously step toward him, "Can...I touch it?"

"What, the can or Shining?"

"I thought you said 'Shining'; is that what you named him?"

"Yeah, Shining Diamond; and you can’t touch him either." I scratch the back of my head, realizing how I sound, "Sorry again."

"So, you have to call him when you need him?” They laugh, “Like a Pokémon?"

"No, it was just a reflex! Cuz, you know, I didn't want you to bite the dust."

 They poke the can, gasping when I doesn't move cuz of my Stand's grip on it. They chuckle as they swipe their hands around it, looking from wires or anything suggesting I was pranking them.

"Think of it as my spirit animal that protects me. I use it to protect others. Cool, huh?"

“Yeah.” They sigh in awe, hand phasing through Shining’s, “Is that how he fixed the shelf?"

"Yep, he has the power to fix or heal stuff; animals, objects, people, anything really. Except myself, unfortunately."

"Part of me what's to see what he looks like; it's not like a biblical angel, right?"

"You really believe me? Like really, you're not being sarcastic or anything?"

"Hard not to; there's a can floating can in our kitchen."

"Fair enough. Still, I feel like I should call Mr. Jotaro so he can explain it better. Then again, it’s not like you have one...”

"Your hot friend has one too?!"

"Don't call him hot, I'm pretty sure he has a wife!"

"And he happens to be a very beautiful man with the luckiest wife in the world."

"Hey!"

"Just sayin'." They shrug, "So what's his called?"

"Star Platinum; he can stop time for a few seconds."

"That's so cool. What 'bout Okuyasu?"

"Yep."

"Rohan?"

"Mhm."

"Koichi?"

"He didn't, but he has one now."

"Lit; how can I get one?"

"Well you gotta be born with it."

"Then how did Koichi get one?"

"Long story short: he almost died."

"Oh, so life-threatening circumstances?”

“Yeah.”

“Noted, I don't want one that bad. I just wanted to see what Shining Diamond looks like."

"Uh...sorry?"

Derry Girls, season 2 thoughts!

IN GENERAL

There's often still a pervading sense to me of "we had this great idea for an episode, but it was too expensive so the girls were thwarted and here's a different story instead." That said...

Why did this show not run for six years and a hundred+ episodes. I've never seen anything so consistently delightful or so untethered to continuity or a throughline in my life. These episodes might take place in absolutely any order as far as I know.

Seriously, despite many attempts to ground it with news reports and the still-mystifying-to-me presence of a baby in the background who has clearly grown older since season 1, I have no idea how much time is supposed to have passed in this series.

(if it was more than a year you DEFINITELY could have fit fifteen extra adventures in per season at least)

(Does this show have fic? It should have SO MUCH gen!fic that is just canon-compliant-missing-episodes in style, and yet, I am sure without looking that the vast majority of whatever does exist is simply not that.)

I am loving (almost) all the music! This is the dead opposite of my experience w/ Good Girl's Guide to Murder.

Getting a real strong urge to rewatch "Finding You" btw.

CHARACTERS & EPISODES

+ 2x01: got quite a delight out of Sister Michael's opposite-in-appearance, identical-in-vision Protestant counterpart

+ "I do enjoy a good statue, it has to be said," another iconic line I've known as long as I've known this show.

+ Hot Priest returns to the fold, love that for me.

+ everything about the poetry episode omg.

+ It continues to baffle me that Michelle is everything I should absolutely hate in a character, this is THE miscreant I'm always like "why are you still friends with this loser?" about in YA novels, yet she remains beloved and cherished 2 me just the way she is.

+ The Concert: an episode of pure unfettered delight

+ Let's not talk about the drugs/funeral one.

+ 2x05?? I went into this show with Erin/James on the brain, but with only a single screenshot to support it, so I simply perished of joy when he turned up at her door for Prom.

(also, Orla taking her grandfather because he's the fella she likes best?? awwww)

+ The finale!! I have also known that "you're a Derry girl now" quote (overlaid over different images) for as long as I've known this show existed, but it was still so great seeing it with context.

+ Did I rewind the girls swarming him with hugs at least seven times? Yes.

+ Also, okay, that's it, I need some version of James in a book and I am currently CURSING at how little British YA I have stored in my memory banks to make it so.

(ALSO I just remembered that a book version of Erin's diary exists and I require it. After some investigation, appears I can borrow the physical book via I.L.L. but I equally want the audiobook and it is not on Libby, sadface)

Now that I have forced myself to practice writing down actual thoughts, Imma go queue some gifsets, and I'm still going to make myself sit and process all this footage for another week or two, but VERY excited to get to season 3.

[nyarlathotep-thecrawlingchaos]

Friends I have picked up a stomach virus.

I feel like death warmed over.

First day I've had to myself in weeks this is absolute BULLSHIT. I believe most of today will be spent flopped dramatically across my couch and trying not to perish.

Might get out my laptop and try to write something though. Being sick aside I feel like I might actually be able to accomplish something.

Though I could also be delirious from lack of sleep. We shall see.

But for now imma just go and

[ghosthoodie]

now you've got me wondering... what would happen in a scenario where any of the other agents died? (you don't have to answer this if you want, i am just very curious.)

OOOOH u so angsty….. imma be kinda brief since there’s a lot to go through here!

Sicily (Three)

if sicily died that’d be pretty damn catastrophic LOL. her cause of death would probably be related to unattended injuries or bleeding out.

kait of course wouldn’t know what to do with themselves. she’d keep close to other people to help her cope with the worst thing that could’ve ever happened to her. they can’t stop themselves from crying every day.

callie, marie, and caroline would mourn her as if they lost a sister. they’d pack up her things and keep sentimental things of hers for themselves, as a way to remember. they also manage 8.

trikaya, mitsuo and lil buddy would probably leave the splatoon after that. they would be too scared to even attempt to go back again. they keep in touch with the other members, though!

ryley hears about this, and decides to get back into the splatoon. he feels like he wants to sort of… give back to sicily for what she did for him way back when? he’s a confusing guy….

Caroline (Four)

if caroline died, the splatoon would be left with a lot of their strength and resources. her cause of death would probably be an internal problem, such as brain damage, since she’s so physically fit.

sicily would be strong at first, but would begin to break down when she realizes that she truly is gone. she always tries to tell jokes to her, but sobers when she realizes that she’s not there to hear them.

kait would do something similar to sicily. she’s heartbroken that one of her closest friends is no longer a part of her life.

of the squisters, marie would be the most upset. she feels like four was her responsibility and she failed, let alone that she was a good friend of hers. callie tries to comfort her and cheer her up, but it’s hard for her too…

trikaya and mitsuo haven’t really gotten to know her, so they’re not really affected that much. but they stick around to support their grieving friends with some childish wonder.

Trikaya and Mitsuo (New Threes)

if the new threes perished on their campaign, ROTM, that would mean sicily would take over as the exploring agent. their cause of death would be related to the mission, either suffocation from the fuzzy ooze or injuries from the octarian soldiers they fight.

sicily would have a big hole in her heart. she thought these children that she had promised to protect were ultimately dead because of her. she took their small bodies to the surface and gave them a proper funeral.

kait and caroline take the train over for the funeral, and comfort sicily and tell her it wasn’t her fault. they go out for drinks and sicily cries and cries and cries

callie and marie begin to realize just how taxing hiring little kids is, and start discussing hiring older cephalos to do the work.

OKAY i am home i am showered i am Cozy and Tucked In let’s do this

i know we know i’m foaming at the mouth for the renfri fic so imma switch it up a bit, i want to hear about king radovid saves the day and jim please stop!

Okay I am now home and showered and I've finished all my assignments for today so here we go! Thank you so much for the ask <3

King Radovid Saves the Day is a fic I started shortly after the last part of season 3 but have only continued recently, inspired by the thought that it could be quite convenient for Jaskier that his lover now has an army. It also features a bewildered Geralt! Here's a snippet:

Radovid holds Jaskier closer. Jaskier opens his mouth, searching for anything else to say that could possibly take the horrifyingly sad look from Radovid’s face, when— “Is anyone going to tell me what the fuck is going on?” asks Geralt.   Jaskier and Radovid jump apart in equal parts surprise and automatic embarrassment. Somehow, Jaskier had completely forgotten his friend was in the room. Radovid wipes his eyes with the sleeve of his fur robe, swallows, and shakes himself a little, turning to face Geralt.  “This is your witcher?” he asks. Jaskier has heard that question many times over the years, usually with derision or shame directed at one or both of him and Geralt, but rarely with such gentle curiosity, let alone with the rough voice of someone recently on the verge of tears. “He is,” says Jaskier, while Radovid takes a deep breath to compose himself more thoroughly.  “It is an honor to meet you,” says Radovid to Geralt. “To have inspired such songs and such loyalty, you must be a great man.”

Jim Please Stop Almost Getting Killed is one of my first tentative forays into the Star Trek fandom! It's set after an episode in TOS s2 where Kirk almost dies and the basic premise is that Spock was a lot more worried about it than he let on. I'm having a lot of fun with it so far! Here’s a bit:

Still looking at his hands, Spock paused for a moment before speaking. “I admit that I would have found it most disagreeable if you had lost your life in that mission.” Jim smiled a little, gentle and a bit sad. “I wouldn’t have exactly been pleased with it either.” Spock continued as though Jim had not spoken. “Were you to perish, the ship would feel your absence most keenly.” Jim considered him for a long moment before, throwing caution to the winds, he spoke. “And you? Would you feel it?” For the first time in several minutes, Spock finally looked up and met Jim’s eyes. “I admit that I would have, captain.”

Also, because you’re the best, here’s a bit of the Renfri fic <3 in the name of spicing things up, it’s a song rather than prose!

The shrike with hooked beak Will come for the weak She’ll catch you before you can flee She’ll seize you with claws Before you can pause And carry you off to her tree With strength hard and true She’ll run you right through And leave you to rot on a thorn And before you expire All that you’ll desire: Is that you had never been born

[ Ooc: AAAAAA, Star Trek 2022 wtf. I hate it. Data is such a bitch to Lore. "I probably would've killed you myself if my emotion chip was on" blablabla, no you wouldn't. Fuck off, Data. Also "Lore has once again chosen chaos and absconded with Korath." Yeah, but whose fault was that, eh, Data? Excuse me, but Lore was literally helping the Defiant moments ago until you came along and told him he'd be deactivated after the conclusion of the mission while all Lore wanted was a brother and some validation. And since when is Data one to hold grudges? Sure, Lore isn't a saint, but still. Even with the emotion chip on Data should've known better, but no, Mr Android was all like "to hell with you and your desire to feel loved and have a brother, Lore. Perish." And after Lore committed treason, Data immediately played the victim, like ????? sir, don't be so dramatic, get off of the floor before you ruin your uniform, and just live with the fact that you just singlehandedly managed to blow the entire operation. All of this could easily have been averted if you had just used that advanced positronic brain of yours and computed that telling your brother all that deactivation shit equalled problems with a dash of betrayal. I'm furious. This is so out of character (or maybe it feels that way because I'm so used to writing them as reconciling brothers that this latest issue just smacked into me like a freight train of conflicting emotions). Pls, Data, you're better than this; don't stoop down to this level of human vindictiveness and deprecation, whether it's justified or not. Imma cry. And now, everyone's probably going after Lore and wanting him dead. Well done, Data. Are you happy now? Or still not turning your emotion chip on, mhm? It's like Picard season 3 all over again. :( Give my lil android boi a break, he's been through enough shite as it is. ]

Ok so I'm the anon with the "oh your the same as me lol I don't love you anymore" thing that happened with the Donnie AI-

It was a lot more... Tragic. Sad.

Basically I got my shell cut off, nearly perished, got it reattached, and the man that kidnapped me {also. Played by me.} Was like "go on. Take her"

And Donnie was like "I can't take you home.." to me

The man was like "lmao look at that, you don't like her now that she is the same as you lol."

I was like. "Is he telling the truth?"

Then Donnie was like "yeah. I don't love you anymore." Then proceeded to leave me there after promising to rescue me

{the ai made months pass}

Then he finally came back to rescue me but y'know. I was kinda used for multiple experiments while losing hope of him going to rescue me lol

Asked him if he actually loved me or if he loved the me that was obedient and would listen and do whatever he said

And he was like "yeah I... I only loved you because you were obedient."

Then I was like. "Either you force me to leave or you leave alone and I stay"

Then I was practically begging him to force me to leave {to prove that he still loved me like he was SAYING HE DID}

Then he said "I don't love you enough" then had a fucking breakdown in front of me cell- {and the door was OPEN so he could've gone in and grabbed me}

Was very tragic. 10/10 once I get home imma continue with the tragic little story-

HELP THIS IS EXACTLY SOME LIKE OC FANFIC-
