Hello! 💖 For your uniformed Joel series, how would you feel about Hardware Store Joel? 🙏

🛠️🪚👕🦺🧰🪛

That poor, flimsy corporate polo would barely hang on to those huge biceps… the ridiculously bright one-size-fits-all utility apron or vest would somehow make his broad shoulders look even WIDER… watching his thick fingers working delicately to sort tiny nails and grip big tools would make you drool… and let’s not forget about that competence kink that you’ve been denying even to yourself that you have. 🧨🤯

Who could blame a girl for returning to the hardware store like once or twice a week? You’re a brand-new homeowner, after all… who else could possibly teach you what you need to know about knobs and screws and lube? 😏

ahhh sorry for the delay sweetheart!! i was saving this to post it whenever i had written this fun request but truth be told, i don’t know when that will be, so here we go!!

EXCUSE ME WHILE I BITE INTO MY OWN FOREARM???? asdfghjk okay listen: YES. you don’t need to say anything else. i’m up. i’m down. i’m everything.

you would eye him intently while he was doing his job and would wonder if he would be so attentive elsewhere… all the time he spends sorting out the nails – would he be so diligent on making you come over and over again? you would definitely be learning all about lube with him 😫

and you would ask him what tools would be best to use, knowing full well you’re teasing him. like, “what about this hammer? do you think it would jackhammer me- sorry, the nails well?” and then joel would be losing his fucking mind thinking he misheard you but he didn’t really.

oh yeah, reader would definitely be coming back, because i know i would lmao i’m adding this to the list straight away!! thank you for your great request!! <3333 xx

For your “fic premise” ask game…

• A dusty 1930s academic library

• A feisty, “modern woman” research librarian who is always underestimated by the dull, idiotic men at the University and has no patience for performative femininity

• One gloomy, rainy afternoon, the new Archaeology professor Marcus Pike encounters the librarian

• He catches her just as she’s falling off a short rolling ladder in an underpopulated section of the stacks

• Mutual pining but they both suspect it’s unrequited/Idiots in love + Coworkers to lovers + Second chance romance + Happily ever after

• He makes up excuses to come into the library far more often than he actually needs to, and asks questions that he knows are embarrassingly basic for a man in his position

• She purchases and interlibrary borrows obscure tomes related to his academic sub-specialty (art theft throughout history)

• Pick a wildcard trope: Only one bed, fake relationship, or forced proximity

Thank you! I love you! 💖💖💖 Am I close?

Ohhhhh I like this! Although I'm not very good at writing pining idiots because I don't pine myself so I can't really imagine the situation - I'm not a very good writer, in other words...

I think I'd go with forced proximity because when you work in retail, as I have done, that's an awkward situation when you have to go show something in the furthermost corner of the shop, and you feel trapped and uncomfortable af. And with Professor Pike it's just... uncomfortably comfortable? He smells so good and he brushes up against you and he talks so softly because this is a goddamn library but also it's like he knows he's in some kind of sacred place and it's not until you point out that he needs to move for you to be able to take him over to the next book case where the next book he's asking for is and he blushed violently and apologies profusely and when you manage to squeeze past him he's all warm and did I mention he smells nice?

Yeah. That shit.

Thanks for playing ❤️

Part of the reason that Republicans are so desperately acting like they will never lose again is because they are deeply terrified that this is their last real chance to win. The big orange dipshit came in and gutted the party of everyone who wasn't a loyalist, which left it full of nasty little gremlins who have gaping voids where charisma and human decency is supposed to go.

They still hold a lot of power, but if we stop them this year the next presidential election may not be the Most Important One Of Your Life™, that's not a guarantee or anything, but if they don't win here and now their future looks grim, this dipshit is the only guy they have left and he's extremely diminished and has his brains leaking out of his ears at this point. We can beat him into the ground.

So that's what we're gonna fucking do. We're gonna break these fucking fash. They will crash upon us and we're gonna break their fucking necks. When they come for us they will lose because they're fucking losers and we have each other's backs which is something they fundamentally are incapable of comprehending.

aHhh okay so the discussions of Titan!Megatron on @callsign-relic's blog have fully. FULLY taken over my brain and ive been drawing stuff for it for like the last few days nonstop

the tl;dr of this is AU is pretty much "what if Megatron got turned into a titan/cityformer as a form of penance/imprisonment and now roams the empty wasteland of Cybertron forever" plus "IDW Megatron has really fucked up internals so... what if that, but as a City?"

and of course since he's a Titan, that also means he has a cityspeaker... or three. One per sub-AU thing. Theres 3 options. 3 flavours of AU.

i have so much art to make. but in the meantime, for more info! check out the #titan au tag on Relic's blog :]!! (also uhh potential ns//fw warning for the link shfjbdkd)

Hi. My battery is running out once again so design and art notes get chucked here instead of an image.

The cuffs and collar are hardwired into Megatron, so I made the lights the same colour as his biolights!

I imagine that on the tops of his shoulders there are solar panels, even if you can't see them here lol.

I really wanted to keep the swirly bits on Megatron's chest from IDW

Other art notes:

The second picture with the seekers is (loosely) inspired by a discussion about whether or not Megatron gets visitors or not. I thought about who would visit him and well... I think this is as close as Starscream realistically gets to visiting him.

Extra detail about that piece is that Thundercracker and Skywarp are keeping watch from above! Also drawing Megatron took me like 8 hours because I was struggling with his legs really badly kshffkbfkdsbdk,, the background went much faster, funnily enough.

Optimus specifically isn't wearing his Autobot badge any more.

This isn't relevant in this series of images, but Ultra Magnus's eye markings are only on the Magnus armour. His other two forms do not have them :] (... until he begins to discard the armour, that is.)

Megatron is roughly 3200m/2 miles tall. Technically he could have clouds around his knees, but I thought this looked a little bit cooler lol.

Also, height chart! Him big. I didn't even attempt to put a human for scale because that'd be. near impossible with this scale.

ARCANE | 2.07 "Pretend Like Its the First Time"

[unicornpopcorn14]

So we all know by now that Dazai is comfortable enough around Chuuya to show nervousness/worry.

Enough times for Chuuya to pick up on that pattern. The pattern, may I remind you, that doesn't have evident correlation to either nervousness or worry to most people. One that can even be interpreted as misplaced given the situation.

Which means that Dazai has done this in front of Chuuya so often, that Chuuya at first was hella confused, before he finally made a connection between when and why it happens. And still remembered that connection after four years of separation. Which gets us to my point:

What if this isn't the only emotion Dazai displays weirdly?

What if he has multiple unconventional patterns he displays for sadness, frustration, content, or disgust? The times he really feels them, and they become too strong for him to just deal with normally? What if these are the only times he's actually being genuine with his emotions?

And Chuuya is the only one who is familiar with them all?

Dazai would be jumping rope and Chuuya would be like, "quit sulking, let's get icecream"

Dazai hanging upside down on the couch and Chuuya going, "It's okay, mackerel. You can cry."

Dazai actually crying, full on heart-wrenching sobs, and Chuuya unironically going, "What, good news?"

It's just... comforting, for one person in Dazai's life to read him like a book. Everyone else would look at him like he's crazy, displaying wrong emotions/behaviors at the wrong time, but Chuuya knows that it's just how he processes feeling properly, and thus he's the only one Dazai can count on to put things into context and understand, which makes him display them even more openly.

Because Chuuya never shamed him for his quirks, as much as Dazai never did his.

really cannot overstate that in the expanded universe, boba fett gets out of the sarlacc pit by 1) realizing the sarlacc pit has psychically connected itself to him for Torture reasons, 2) considering his circumstances and very deliberately deciding, "i am going to stop repressing my emotions for like, two minutes," and 3) consequently giving the sarlacc, a creature that literally feeds off suffering, a fucking seizure

That was when he saw the crate under the seneschal’s bed. He eased it out.  Inside were lengths of red silk embroidered with gold thread. Then he moved the bundle aside, and a shiver shot cold down his spine. There, amid the cloth, lay the mask of the Blue Spirit.

Amity Park hates the Justice League but loves Red Hood and sometimes other heroes

A/n: I got this random idea so here it is. Oh, and this is good reveal AU ok?

-------

Due to the Justice League mocking them and ignoring their villain problems that were also publicly interdimensional problems, everyone hates the JL. It got worst with the GIW coming in, who blatantly went against the meta-laws (which included aliens, demons and so much more that weren't human from the beginning). They started to think the Justice League supported them.

In the Infinite Realms, however, there's a revenant that many adored and others respected. He did not hold back against criminals. Criminals that would rape, kill, traffic, sell drugs, and more to people. He especially didn't like when they brought kids into this. He'd avenge people the way they should've been: by promising that their abuser/killer/whatever wouldn't be able to do it again. And in the place they lived in, the only way for that to be possible was by major injury, heavy social outcasting, and/or death. Most prefer the 3rd.

And after how long the Amitians dealt with the attacks which eventually came to a slow once or twice a week type thing, they started opening their minds to the idea of coexistence. Well, further than they had. So when people started to cross over and start making their small haunts in their side of the veil, the Amitian's began to become aware of the popular hero Red Hood. He was part of the undead community, which was trustworthy in everyone's books.

So Amity Park started making merch. Most of it was for Team Phantom, but there was plenty for Red Hood as well. There were other heroes on the side, like for Superboy 1 (who they renamed to Supernova due to their hatred for Superman for 2 reasons, the obvious and that he rejected a mirror-born), and Raven (the half demon).

And with this coexistence, Team Phantom had noticed the positive feedback about killing in the name of vengeance. So they went on the offensive, and after a good year of that, the GIW lost funding for producing no results and just taking up resources. The acts were still there, but nobody enacted them in Amity, and nobody actually knew or believed them outside of the haunted city.

Then the Justice League find out about the hero group there due to tracking merchandise after they started to sell outside of the city. Superman was the guy everyone liked, so he was sent over. He immediately got thrown out and was now questioning who the heck Supernova was and when he rejected him.

Flash? Outcast. Everyone ignored and walked away from him. they had the police, who never did anything or even had to anymore, kick him out.

Green Lanter? Oh the poor guy. He had his ring taken away and thrown out of the city somehow. It took hours to find it.

Wonder Woman, they had to be ok with her. Not at first, but once Phantom had a talk with her and people learned that they were cousins through Clockwork (Kronos) and Pandora, they were ok. ish. Tolerated was the best word and she got the info back to the league.

The batfamily took a trip there, dragging Red Hood along somehow. And right when Red Hood was noticed, a crowd began to form as everyone practically worshipped him. There were many victims he had avenged and an Ancient (Lady Gotham) came and gave him the gifts she couldn't without scaring the guy.

At one point, the poor guy even cried.
