#it's looking good for us folks

[pavlovianpanic]

i went and adjusted this on my doc, and honestly i haven't practiced exclusives in forever, but here's how it's looking (which gives us a better idea of who is available for what, which it's actually way more open than it appears by a glance) — this also isn't a list that includes any affiliates/mains/etc, just exclusives:

josh -> ship-exclusive to ottersden's ashley brown, and chris hartley, as well as her waylon park, and exclusive to her hannah in a "family dynamic" kind of way, with also potential creature verses and such, so branching out into some lore together. but in writing with other hannahs, i will write josh caring for her as his sister ofc.

for josh, this means i exclusively ship chris/josh and ashley/josh with otter ... you might also see some crossover waylon/josh or chris/miles, dw about it

josh is entirely exclusive to cataschism's beth washington

matt -> ship-exclusive to ottersden's hannah washington and ashley brown, and similarly exclusive to her chris hartley and waylon park in the general way her hannah is to my josh? not ship exclusive but like ... dynamic exclusive.

for matt, this means i exclusively ship ashley/matt with her, and potentially hannah/matt (idk, we'll see about that last one)

sam -> ship-exclusive to ottersden's hannah washington and ashley brown, and similarly 'dynamic' exclusive to her chris hartley and waylon park.

for sam, this means i exclusively ship hannah/sam and ashley/sam with her

miles -> ship-exclusive to ottersden's waylon park, as well as her hannah washington, ashley brown, and chris hartley

for miles, i exclusively ship waylon/miles with her, as well as ashley/miles and chris/miles dw about it

by being exclusive, this typically means our headcanons intertwine or relate to each other. we'll reference each other a lot.

in otter's case, she's been explicit in saying all of my headcanons are also her headcanons basically. we discuss a lot of this stuff in person, so we share the same views. she also doesn't care if either of us write with other interpretations of our characters, she just wants our dynamis to be unique to us.

my josh & beth headcanons are intertwined with perce's.

so this means:

my entire cast can write with duplicates, we just cannot have the same dynamics that i have established with otter (which makes sense to me, i would do the same for you if we had a ship, for example). ie this means, for example, josh can write with other chris interpretations, sam can write with other hannahs, miles can write with other waylons, etc.

the only exception to this is that josh is entirely exclusive to perce's beth, meaning he will not write with other beths, but will write with other hannahs.

if the ships aren't listed as exclusive, they are technically available (meaning like matt/jess, matt/em, and the like), but they aren't my priority, don't feel pressured to ship with me (my blog is a bare beach for ships generally, as i focus on horror first, romance last).

original characters are not excluded from any type of relationship, from familial to rivalry to romantic to otherwise. i treat them the same as canons. crossovers are just as welcome. my whole roster is super crossover and oc friendly.

what about duplicates? can my interpretation write with yours we're writing the same muse? yes, if you're comfortable with that. i used to write a lot of twin aus, so those are pretty easy for me (i usually write the twin), ghost!aus (being haunted by a past self, confronting one's own inner self, etc), and stuff like that. just ask me, i'm pretty happy to do that kind of thing.

Out of all of the people The Ghost King Phantom expected to relate to, it definitely wasn’t the scrawny red headed photographer of the Daily Planet. Jimmy Olsen has gotten so many temporary superpowers over his time being Superman’s friend. Hell, he once gained a 4th dimensional being’s reality warping abilities when he was given said dimensional being’s powers during a fight. Sure there’s a dozen or so heroes with the same amount of powers he has, but none as suddenly granted to them as a all powerful god that can relate to a teenager.

Bucky Barnes // The Winter Soldier Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

appreciation post for bucky's hair in catws

[moonverc3x]

(gosh I hope that comic is at least readable- Ignore all the inconsistencies, I've never drawn and colored a comic before 😭) Anyways- meet the heroes of yore! sort of... you get to know what they look like at least!

Im finally getting around to publicly sharing some tidbits of lore with yall! Originally the "heroes of yore" spiel Galacta reads was going to be just text but I thought people would probably like it a little better if there was a comic to accompany it!

and im. not sure how to end this post?? I suppose I can say that Meta and Galacta Knight are open for asks!!! Im hoping I can keep the energy to keep this thing going, but only time will tell!

glamtober #31 - supernatural: mothman

my favorite american cryptid. i spent half my childhood in appalachia and those mountains are haunting and comforting. there's something nice about a fucked up creature trying to warn folks away from harm. this fit is silly but we can pretend she found it in eorzea's version of spirit halloween, right next to the sexy chirurgeon costumes.

items used:

head: tonberry head (jet black | ruby red) body: quaintrelle's ruffled dress (jet black | jet black) arms: demonic gloves (N/A | ruby red) legs: bunny tights (N/A | jet black) feet: makai priestess's longboots (ruby red) fashion accessory: fallen angel's wings

ill probably delete this in a minute but ive just been fuckin boggled by what ive seen across tumblr in the last few days in particular. its why i havent really been around. like holy fucking shit, its really like some of yall just dont want a chunk of the trans community to exist. like some of yall are thisclose to saying it verbatum. way too many already have. 'shut up sit down be quiet and smile for us' type shit, gee where have i heard that before. oh yeah my entire life cause i was forcefully gendered as someones daughter. shock horror i know. you might be surprised to remember and/or learn that very few trans folks know theyre trans before we're 5, or even 10, and that that gendered experience stays with all of us in both/either small or large ways. either bc we literally dont have a solid identity yet (bc we're very small children), dont have the words, we're repressing it out of fear from how others will treat us, we're actually enjoying or enjoyed being another gender in our childhood, or we just genuinely didnt fuckin know until shit lined up later in life. weird isnt it that transmascs dont pop out as 6'1 brick shithouse cis men when we're born so yall know for certain that we're confused lost girls/women oops i mean big dangerous scary men. its almost like we're transgender too. none of yall actually know what intersectionality is or means

You cannot claim to be anti-AI while still actively seeking out and using AI.

Once again.

You cannot claim to be anti-AI while still using generative AI, no matter the reason.

(Bold/italicized text: You cannot claim to be anti-AI while still using generative AI, no matter the reason.)

Even if you’re just using it to make fun of it or show how bad it is.

Even if it’s only for your personal use, and you don’t plan on sharing it with anyone.

Even if you’re “just” roleplaying on Character AI.

If you are willing to justify your usage of a system created and profiting off of stealing from artists and writers, a symstem that is destroying the Earth, then you were never as “against that system” as you think you were. Being anti-AI isn’t something that exists only in name. You can’t claim to be against AI if you are willing and able to use it as soon as it benefits you. You can’t say you’re for writers’ and artists’ rights if you’re using the very thing that is causing them harm. You can’t claim to care about climate change and saving the Earth if you are participating in the system that is destroying it.

There is no middle ground here.

There is no “Oh, but I-“.

If you have the knowledge of what generative AI is doing, of how it is hurting people, and you choose to use it anyway, you aren’t  against it. You aren’t fighting against that system, you’re upholding it.

You can say how much you hate AI and how horrible you think it is, if you choose to use it anyway, then your actions and your words are not lining up, and the former reveals so much more than the latter.

Stop pretending like AI is something you can condemn only in name, while using it to your heart’s content in your free time. All it does it tells writers and artists that you don’t really care about us, and that any actions you claim to be taking to protect us are performative at best and lies or even outright malicious at worst.

You are—and I mean this in the kindest way possible, even with the fury that generative AI invokes in me—a complete and utter hypocrite. AI is not your friend. It is a tool, and it is a tool that steals from writers and artists in order to function. It is a tool that is using levels of energy and emitting amounts of polution in order to be maintained that are actively damaging the Earth. No matter how much you try to justify using it to yourself, that doesn’t change.

Stop hiding under the guise of being anti-AI while continuing to use it yourself.

Back then space seemed endless. Now it's empty.

a sort of companion piece to my anya one; i just think they share more parallels than people realize

[uncanny-tranny]

I love you smile lines and worry lines and grey and white hair and wrinkles and purple spiderweb veins and the process of aging and living in a body that is standing the test of times. I love you experiences that make you wiser and stories that make you laugh, and every little process that happens to get to the point where you have so many memories because you have the fortune to be here and be so radiant

Something something Decepticon recruitment (+physical exam) yada yada putting my Malay twins headcanon to good use and making names (and a non-typical matrilineal last name as opposed to a patrilineal last name) for them :P

Old fanfiction as well as echo chambering myself I have got some headcanons in my mind that do not make surface level sense but have Syakir and Darwesh bin Kalsom!
