#it's about ESCAPING THE CHAOS

[lunasilvis]

Droste

Je nam me mee naar een paardenrace in een spiegelhuis, waar de windhonden door de wanden braken, de fazanten door de vliering stortten, en het zeilen dak lekte: het hoosde binnen- in dit kafkaësk bordeel. Ik voelde nog geen nattigheid, toen de ochtendzon een pirouette draaide aan de horizon, zich een tel leek te bedenken, om te keren – Ik dacht dat ik het mij verbeeldde, hoe de maan als een losgeklopt ei de kleipolder vergeelde, belichtte, bij schemer, dat het zo hoorde, bij de kortste dag van het langste jaar, integraal onderdeel van het leven. In het spiegelcircus zwol het gejoel aan als een zwerm Spaanse cicaden, laarzen dreunden als de poten van hazen tegen de vloer, het opzwepende razen sloeg de laatste kalmte uit de atmosfeer. Vlak voor het startsein tikte je tien flappen neer op de massief houten counter, van waarachter een Zoroastrist met smeeroliesnor in Syrische klanken iets onthulde, iets wat klonk tussen zingen en smeken. Bezworen zette je in op Hermes: “Heldhaftig hengst op hoeven als pianola’s, voorbij illusies, sneller dan optisch bedrog” Na de buskruitknal verdween de rook en troebelheid: ik bungelde uit het raam, kwam uit bij het begin van de aarde. Stuitte daar op het ruisen van windgongen, het rusten van windhonden, reinigende oosterse rituelen, grazende merries in de wei, een schone lei.

actually obsessed with the fact that they combined the storylines into one scene to give us a little update on eddie & chris and on buck & tommy at the same time. like obviously it's mainly to show us that chris and eddie's relationship is still strained but that eddie's really trying and that buck and tommy are "going strong" and there supporting eddie, but it's also showing us how tommy is integrated into buck's life and that means being good friends with eddie/caring about chris, and also showing how buck/tommy are still never getting out from under the eddie of it all allegations lmao

Prompt 147

“It wasn’t my fault!” 

It really wasn’t. Natural portals open all the time, and it wasn’t like he was the one driving! They were just testing out some new gear in the Zone, and the motorcycle was for Jazz so she needed to know how to use it! 

So really, it’s not his fault they’re stuck in another world until another portal opens, nor is it his fault that they’re getting chased by a bunch of yellow-eyed undead. No Tucker, they aren’t your friends just because they have gold-eyes too- and Sam please don’t ask the plants to stab them, they don’t need ghost gold-eyed creeps after them!

disney is a coward so I know they'll never do this, but given what we learned was SUPPOSE to happen between alex and stevie, I would still love a post-eloping for the reboot.

like just imagine alex and stevie as the Cool Gay Aunts(tm) for justin's kids (+ billie). they show up for the holidays and totally shower the kids with magical gifts, including a baby dragon for the boys (which does end up setting fire to their parents bed sheets). milo shows off a magic trick to his friends, using alex (since billie's not allowed to) sneakily casting spells from the bushes so the card really does dissapear from his hand, leaving his friends cheering (stevie smiling but refusing to admit to alex how cute is it). stevie has a motorcycle (which alex thinks is super hot but also refuses to admit) and while the kids aren't old enough for a ride, she does let them sit on it and rev the handles nice and loud while justin panics from the porch. they team up with all three kids to pull pranks on justin and even sometimes get giana in on a few harmless ones. maybe alex even uses her role on the tribunal to get stevie's records cleared, and they both start to advocate for a more fair way of distributing magic between families.

and billie could have an extra adult at her side! I know justin is suppose to fill the pseudo-dad role, but while billie spends her time with the russo's, also gets to spend her summers or whatever with her two cool wizard aunts. they encourage her to keep up with her studies but for the most part they just chill, letting billie indulge in a few sweets (knowing how health-conscious justin has forced his family to be) and sometimes in a pg-13 movie together. when she's there however, the house does turn into a prank war; guests are to be extremely careful when entering and encouraged to bring a separate pair of clothes.

I dunno it would just be super cool; alex and stevie reunited and I think the kids would love her too - plus watching their aunt who's always acted so aloof get all smiley and whatnot and I'm just imagining a scenario with alex and the kids like:

billie: why does stevie call you babygirl

alex: hey who wants to play the quiet game!!

I need more selkie theon (and asha. I just think that would be a vibe. fuck the greyjoy sigil being a kraken for a moment and let them be seals) content.

like the opportunity to have theon's coat taken by ned when he's made his ward is right there and it is perfect and beautiful and tragic.

and you could build on that depending on the version of the selkie myth/story you're going off of (I personally love the song of the sea version of selkies for story writing). maybe he can't talk without it, maybe he gets sick, maybe his voice has magical properties of sorts.

I have this one concept in my head that I don't have the time to write, but it goes something along the lines of theon getting sick after years away from his coat and the stark kids have to find his coat and drag his slowly dying ass to the bay of seals (cause y'know bay of seals and theon's a selkie so he'll turn into a seal... I thought it was creative).

also, in a lot of versions of selkies, when they get sick, their hair turns white, which is on brand for theon. they're also pretty, their stories are typically soaked to the bone in tragedy, they're normally held captive/tortured, amongst other things, which are also very on brand for theon.

and maybe you get some selkie to selkie telepathy of sorts, so when theon finally enter the water a seal again, asha books it to come find him, cause its been years since she's been able to feel him (I'm soft for them, I will create the most improbable and ridiculous scenario's to bring them together and for them to have soft sibling moments).

all and all, theon being a selkie is something I need more content of, please and thank you.

Rewatching a playthrough of Danganronpa and it actually shocks me how chill Monokuma is. Even when Kyoko goes around stealing his shit and he finds Makoto with it later he's like. Yeah okay. I don't hold it against you or anything it's cool. LMAO

He has every available opportunity to just kill everyone whenever, especially when they break the rules, but he never does. I really love villains who stick to their own rules so it's fair for everyone else :")

[leejeann]

hmmm bungo stray dogs manga spoilers, just reread a few chapters because I had a thought I needed to confirm and just

okay so if Crime and Punishment also grants Fyodor the "echoes of [their] ability" from whoever kills him (if they have an ability), I wonder what would happen if he willingly lets himself get killed by mr. tripolar singularity over there who 1) currently only obeys Fyodor's commands, 2) is a singularity fueled by two otherwise tangible objects linked together by an ability, and 3) can surely be commanded to directly kill Fyodor

Even a weaker "echo" of a godlike power is almost certainly still godlike power. Why fight by proxy when you can just man the thing yourself?

2x08 S: "As long as I'm doing something to help out a friend, I don't mind what it is! I just want to be there for 'em when they need me. Because at the end of the day, helping my friends is more important than anything in the world!"

3x03 Mei: "So wait, how did you get your gold vision back again?" MK: "I don't know! The same way I got them in the first place I guess. Every time I learned a new ability, it was because there was something I NEEDED to do, when there was no other way. Against the gold fish guy I NEEDED to do something to save my friends!" P: "Yeah, friends that YOU put in danger on purpose!"

3x10 MK: "NO! Mei is my best friend, I’d never abandon her when she needs me. We’re heroes! It’s what we do!",

3x14 MK: "A perfect world is what you make it. So as long as I have my friends by my side...this world! Is! Perfect!”

4x01 MK: "Honestly? I’m kinda liking the world as it is, right now. So...if it could just stay like this, forever? That would be awesome." SWK: "Yeah well...forever’s a long time bud...trust me."

4x02 AL: "It’s too late to save them! We can’t risk unleashing the curse into the world." MK: “You don’t know! We’d risk it for sure! I won’t abandon them when they need us."

4x07 IMK: "You can see it, can't you? This is your fate. Your friends will turn on you, seeing you for the monster you will become. They will destroy you, harbinger of chaos."

4x11 MK: "We have to try, he'd do the same—for any of us." and

4x14 YT: "I know full well what would happen should Azure fail. But- but he is my brother. I owe him my life." S: "We get it! I'd do anything to help my friends. But at the cost of the world?" P: "I'm sorry pal, but NOTHING worth that price!"

I'm like, really worried scoob.

typical “character a visits b’s grave” of the “b’s ghost is listening” variety, but they are Not on the same wavelength

Character A: Things still aren’t the same without you. I feel like if I make one wrong move, everything will fall apart.

Character B, fully aware by now that nobody can hear them: wow that Sucks. have you tried eating a Snickers

Character A: Honestly, at this point… I kind of wish it would. That’s probably pretty selfish of me, wanting everything to go to hell just to be free of it.

Character B, who’s already heard this whole spiel before and is bored of it: penis blast delirious, penis blast mysterious, penis blast. uh. Hmm

Character A: I’m just so sick of feeling like the world’s on my shoulders all the time!

Character B: bi-curious! Penis blast bi-curious, penis blast… augh. I give up.

Character A: I don’t know how much more I can take of everyone unloading all their problems on me… heh, kind of like I’m doing to you, I guess.

Character B: Reese’s puffs Reese’s puffs, eat ‘em up eat ‘em up eat ‘em up eat ‘em up

Character A: I’ll leave you to your rest now. Sorry for disturbing you, and… thanks for listening, if you’re there.

Character B: (yelling after A) Make your next listener a therapist! Or at least somebody who has enough life in them to care!

Since I’ve seen a LOT of it lately, and it APPARENTLY needs to be said…

DO NOT COMMENT ON OTHER PEOPLES’ FANWORKS AND MAKE IT ALL ABOUT YOU.

Don’t push your ship into the content over theirs. Don’t disparage the ships or characters they like directly on their content. Don’t derail the conversation and try to force it into a direction that speaks more to your interest than the original content when it’s totally unrelated or out of left field.

You can make your own posts for all of that. You don’t need to vomit your Favorite Options and Opinions all over someone else’s work just for the purpose of seeing them there.

Just…. don’t try to make the entire fandom’s experience conform to your exact expectations and likes and preferences. Not everyone is going to like the same things about a work as you, and that does NOT give you the right to talk over them and make EVERYTHING about you.

If you’re not into something, just move on, or find something you DO like about it to complement; if you find an artist whose style you like but don’t like the ship or character they’re drawing, for instance, you ABSOLUTELY DO NOT NEED TO ADD THAT TO YOUR COMMENT, it is, in fact, EXTREMELY RUDE.

You can just say “Wow, this art style is so cool” end of sentence, or check out their other works and reblog one with content that vibes better with your likes.

Be respectful of your fellow fans and their right to have their own experience and create their own stuff, please. The lack of etiquette in fannish spaces has been a BIG problem lately, and it’s time for us to check each other on it before it gets even worse.

We all know that S3 is gonna be about the Second Coming-slash-Final Judgement blah blah blah blah blah but what i NEED is for Jesus to radiate so much little sibling energy™. I need them and Crowley to be a chaotic-sibling-bestie duo ok??? It's one of the only ways i can heal

Mmmmmm thinking about Nine the fox walking around with his two bodyguards (Alpha Grim Sonic and Chaos Sonic) again

The fox and his most devoted halberds who are also possessive bitches

No but like but like I need you to understand

Chaos Sonic who was originally revived to take Sonic's place, to fill the hole in a frienship Nine came to believe as fake, and yet clearly held onto so dearly. Chaos Sonic, who was supposed to be the same as before, except made to be Nine's devoted best friend who would never betray him.

Alpha Grim Sonic who Nine reportedly modeled after the hedgehog he (foolishly) thought of as a friend. A robot copy of Sonic who would not talk back, who would not think, who was only made to serve and protect Nine.

Chaos Sonic, whose time spent with Nine turned programmed allegiance and care into some form of love (obsession and possessiveness)

Alpha Grim Sonic, who was not supposed to think and feel. And yet, with time spent serving Nine and opposing Shadow, he begins to feel and to think (a budding soul forming within his metal frame and existing beyond his programming). A robot created to protect and serve, whose feelings for his creator and master begin to grow over time.

When did his internal drive shift from playing the role of Nine's best friend? When did he begin to resent Sonic for what he did to Nine? When did he begin to want to see Nine happy and safe and accomplished (rather than just simply alive and able to complete his goals)? When did he begin to crave Nine's attention and to make him stop thinking about Sonic?

Wasn't he programmed to be no more than an unfeeling robot, a set of algorithms designed to allow him to fight, protect, serve, and strategize only as needed? Why does he want to hurt Shadow so much (is it really just out of the drive to protect Nine, or is it to make the hedgehog pay?)? He'd follow Nine's orders to the ends of the earth, but why does he worry about Nine when they’re separated? Why has he started to covet Nine's smiles and bouts of happiness? Why does he feel annoyance when Nine converses with Chaos Sonic like he's also not there? Why is he starting to understand why Chaos Sonic resents Sonic, beyond the fact that Chaos Sonic has always fancied replacing him? Alpha Grim Sonic has never wanted to replace the real thing, never understood why Chaos Sonic would, but he's starting to understand jealousy (in the way one begins to feel things they cannot put words to).

Chaos Sonic would tell you it's because he and Nine are best friends. Alpha Grim Sonic would tell you that it's because Nine is his master. Yet, deep down, the two have begun to want to be useful and important to Nine. They want to protect him and see his goals through past any loyalty programming. It does not matter whether such an outcome was inevitable or not (based upon their programming or the holes Nine made them fill in his life), only that they believe that they'd choose this even if Nine tried to let them go.

And Nine... Nine who creates distance between himself and the two robots almost instinctively, as if he's trying not to grow attached (ironic, given the roles he placed the two in, the holes in his life he made them fill after he believed that Sonic had backstabbed him). And yet, just as much as he insists that Alpha Grim Sonic is cold and unfeeling and programmed to serve or that Chaos Sonic is just like that (given the personality programmed into him and his similarities to Sonic) and was programmed to follow orders, he finds himself beginning to value the two as more. He should see them as tools, he tries to think of them as tools. And, yet, over time, the two become irreplaceable agents of his will. He can’t allow himself to believe they really care about them, but he wants them to know that he likes having them around, that no other robot can fill the roles he programmed them for, and no real mobian could be as effective as them (even if it's embarrassing to admit). They become...a comforting presence, especially when he's stuck in the Grim post canon, practically alone, closed off from being able to see Sonic again

Do you get me do you get me?

[ambalambs]

Listening to the music from the first trial and I still cant get the thought of miko just laughing his ass off with sheer joy during that fight out of my head lol

[wishingprince]

Ugh I hate the process of moving, I hate looking for a place and packing and everything. I really really just want to be moved and settled and not be in transition lmao.

[dollythots]

I always felt like it's very trifling to physically fight in public, like. . .it doesn't matter what happened, violence is never an answer for anything. And y'all applauding people for fighting is telling me everything I need to know about society.
