#like what does that mean? i dont get a powerpoint with me?

[powermove102]

all those 'list of 5 things I could talk about for 1 hour without prep:' posts really underestimate the power of The Big Yap

[cconfusedkat]

i think i sorta know how i want to build up each of the bishops/allure together ,,

Leshy and allure are the fun ones together,, leshy thinks hes finally found another person to "annoy" but in reality hes found his perfect spouse to match that energy of his and for a love of fighting to bond with them ? Allure often thinks he can be a bit too much ,,but they like his leadership when it comes to missionary parties being sent out ,, they think hes often misunderstood ,, probably the first person to understand him more properly than anyone else before ,,, still doesnt stop him from nagging allure by randomly tazing them in the waist or going "TAG" and burrowing himself under the dirt (WHICH IS AN UNFAIR POWERPOINT!!!!!!!) (<- allure textbubble)

Heket and allure are also a fun bunch :-] but theyre both more emotional than the realize ,, heket doesnt like opening up nor does allure so they sorta bonded in that,, allure likes that shes overprotective of small things such as insects or being a collector of stuff ,, they could probably name a billion things about her ,, heket just finds them cute tbh 😭 like yeah she CAN be emotional but thats not rlly her whole thing ,, shes probably the one to make allure angry first cuz of her chaos she puts up when being paired up with leshy behind the scenes- allure is overly cheesy and heket is NOT !!! I hope that can summarize them together better LAMDOADM allure is an overanalyzer and heket just. Doesnt care? I mean she Does care its just shes also an asshole ❤️‍🩹

Narinder and allure are. Herm. Quiet ones? Together....? Narinder keeps more to himself often than naught. Allure is the number one oversharer of the yap-century. Paired together you get an annoyed cat being forced to listen to someones struggles for three hours- though jokes aside theyre both not too silly together, theyre probably the most domestic together ,, they both know how it feels to lose family so thats why they feel so bonded together ,, thus being in a qpr cuz their friendship goes a little more beyond than a normal one... yet they dont really experience romance normally together either? So qps it was :-] youd probably catch these two spending time alone indoors or outdoors, mainly for narinders preference. Theyre both quiet extroverts KAMDOAKDSKF

Kallamar and allure are constantly beefing but shi has a weird soft spot for them ??? Like yeah hes a fucking bitch (/lovingly) just like his sister as well as lacking empathy but he sorta just. Has allure as an "equal" person if that makes sense (npd term mainly) ,, she typically despises everyone even allure but sometimes theres just something sweet about them that she cant quite pin down? (Which then he screams in his pillow about and complains about why shes in love with a stupid lamb) ,, kallamar and allure have their moments sometimes where one or the other is rlly nice such as being taught or given something small and they both go like "WERE THEY JUST BEING NICE TO ME??????????????!?!!?!?!?"

Shamura and allure also happen to be a little complex. Allure locked shamura up for a month when they were indoctrinated out of anger as well as not wanting to deal with a dissenting shamura all day?? Shamura attempted to kill them when they were released , which almost worked if it werent for heket interrupting and breaking the fight. Years later from those events youd surprisingly see allure and shamura spending time together near the graves, as shamura smiles nodding their head while listening to what allure talks about the whole day,, allure wanted reparations as an apology from shamura ,, shamura obliged and a year later they accidentally fell first for them ,, however allure did manage to fall harder ,, theyve still got issues to work on together (accidental arguments occuring sometimes or miscommunications) but theyre the second most domestic,, shamura confessed first shyly while allure sobbed cuz they felt silly for not being able to confess first 😭 these two are playful on occasion but theyre relatively calm, spending The most time together at eachothers places, doing whatever,, shamura does scold allure more than the others

So basically its like ,, leshy/allure are matches who are funny together and playful with some hints of being charmed by eachother,

heket/allure are matched for different reasons but nonetheless they can still find that time to be goofy and flirting with eachother (that of which heket still easily wins those) (hints of vulnerability here),

narinder/allure are calm and collected more often than naught ,, some hints of playfulness when the timing is right ? Otherwise def more serious together

kallamar/allure are literally just enemies flirting (with occasional "sorry!" "are you okay?" "good morning")

shamura/allure are conflicting personalities that often clash, but can be found domestic together,, sometimes arguments occur while other times they do the best they can for eachother for both secretly feeling very guilty for the other treated another

[show-us-kaidenshenandoah]

most of the time, when i make tiktok comments (or comments on youtube or insta or, i guess, social media in general) my brain has me just Fucking Forget that im not in a one-on-one conversation with OP and other people can read what i say. thankfully: this comment is now deleted after i foolishly left it up on tiktok for five months

i dont mind leaving i leaving it up here though because this is tumblr. it fits the vibe. i can mute the post if worst comes to worst, whatever. i think its funny that my friends were more worried about Chris than a literal cockroach lol im just glad the og tiktok comment didnt break containment before i deleted it from there lol but here? this whole site is "containment", itll be fiiiiinnne ...probaabblllyyyy

bc, yeah, luckily, this comment got only 2 likes. it was from a tiktok made by @/nerdymixedpan about: monster fuckery "hear me out"s? golden, great choices, will be allowed to speak even if no one agrees, no one is worried about Tat at all for any of their picks. human "hear me out"s? Tat's wife worries "you just like freaky lil white boys" as Tat is fussed over

but yeah!! Tat's sentiment reminded me of "my childhood (with some lifelong, but not all) 'hear me out's, but it gets worse as we go along" powerpoint i made and showed my friends for powerpoint night. and so i made an admittance in the above comment that, AS A KID (NOT NOW), i had crushes on Chris Mclean from "Total Drama Island" and the Headless Roach Man (is apparently his official wiki name) from "Growing Up Creepie"

and i think, for me, part of it is "monster fuckery? Kaiden-Shenandoah, youve been rarely NOT rigidly asexual your whole life. nobody is going to worry about you loving monster-romances and scream at 'but what about their genitalia?! you cannot possibly want to fucking bed that Lovecraftian horror!!' or some shit, bc you dont have any interest in that, so it's kinda like 'eh... our friends have had worse significant others we have had to tolerate'. at least we dont have to picture how the fuck sex would work" (bc apparently allosexuals, i guess, picture how the hell the sex could work when sizing up a loved one's partner? and they have the audacity to call ME their "favorite lil freaky weirdo". im as "freaky" as freshly cleaned Barnes & Noble, fam, idk what the fuck youre on) and all of that somehow nullifies all possible grotesqueness or horror of my monster picks. like "i kicked my feet and giggled as a lil kid over a nonspeaking, headless, giant cockroach", y'know?? nothing. they give me fucking nothing lmao rip

put an irl cockroach, head or no head (nonspeaking regardless) that is normal-cockroach-size, in front of my friends? there'd be so much screaming. but i get it, sure, the cockroach character in the ppt is 2D animated and will never be real. an actual cockroach is, y'know, obviously real. i get the dissonance there. i do. i get it. im befuddled... but i do get it, yes

and yet somehow the same logic does not impact my human "hear me out"s as my friends went "WTF KAIDEN-SHENANDOAH, YOU CANT GET WITH THIS MAN, HE'S THE DEVIL". like?? okay. but the headless extremely tall cockroach with no speaking-lines who lives in a sewer is fine?? both of these guys are 2D animated. neither are real. still. one of these png files got me a "lmao you cannot be serious... i mean, i GUESS, sure? carry on" and the other png file got me a "KAIDEN-SHENANDOAH, ABSOLUTELY NOT, NO, SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOURE DONE, NO, NOBODY'S HEARING YOU OUT, NO, NOPE, NO, SIT THE FUCK DOWN, LIKE HONESTLY, WTF". and, shockingly, it was the human man who got my friends kicking and screaming

granted, Chris absolutely is a stellar example of "if Satan was a mortal man" but also? s1 and s2 Chris was not so bad, he just did his job. he got unhinged as he stayed at that job. and im ngl im intrigued at the idea of how the fuck would this man function with something as benign yet allowing for obsession like a crush or being in love. but also? yeah, no, the straight-jacket and pillow-walled room i got put in for this one was warranted, yep, i get how i got here

[gorgugplushie]

(paceplace) / honestly ttcc writing is very messy i agree. i love the game to bits and dissecting it but the flaws in it are as enriching to pick apart as it is frustrating to discover. it really, truly does break my heart that toons aren't as appreciated as the cogs and i wish there were toon characters you could focus on in the same way the mgrs are. the NPCs you meet along the taskline are charming and i adore every single one of them but as much as i personally like them i don't think its enough to capture people's attention in the broad sense.

irt my qualms w/ how ttcc handles its game i think one of the many main issues boils down to the fact that they're disorganized. their issue w/ how lore has been distributed has been addressed twice by the team itself iirc (once in th same tweet where they confirmed fire\\setter as canon and once in their writers backstage post from around a yr ago). their writers backstage post helped give a little more perspective on why the lore was scattered around Like That.

as all over the place as the lore is, i do feel it's important to mention that they said in their backstage writers post they plan on eventually migrating all of their social media comics to the website so things like the rain\\diver comic is very likely to still be canon they just haven't added it in yet. idk why they don't add it around the same time its posted on social media my guess is maybe they're still trying to organize all the lore or redo some of it since its so all over the place (a couple of the comics we have rn on their website that are considered canon has info that was technically retconned) but yeah. i have hope that the way they handle their lore and (hopefully!) their taskline when they get around to rewriting it will improve in the later updates. i try very hard to stay on top w/ clash's lore esp since i have ppl come to me w/ questions regarding clash's story, characters, etc. but sometimes it is Very headache-inducing so i sympathize w/ how confusing/frustrating it is to a casual player. or just any lore-enjoyer tbf. i swear on my life i almost went crazy trying to make a timeline with btl

anyways you don't have to answer this if you don't want (i gen. apologize for the wall of text i really tried to get straight to the point w/ what i'm saying. and even then there's still a lot i wanted to say) but i'm really glad to see discussions on it. oftentimes criticism gets mistaken for hate and it shuts the entire convo which Peeves me. even if w/e's being criticized turns out to fall flat its better to address or talk about it than it is to not, imo.

Yes, exactly! I agree with all the points you've made here.

It's so strange to me that ttcc doesn't really lean into more how the cogs affect the toons, or toon society for all that matter, its a wonder people are so baised with cogs because we really dont get anything about toons. Their less part of the game and more set peices for this war, which sucks!

Theres obviously alot more room to write about toon lore and it would be easier to implement it in game, yet it gets brushed aside to further characterize the cogs and thats sad bc alot of the toons are cute and unique! Ttcc has great toon designs!

I also have to agree with the way the lore is handled, id even go as far to say big updates themsleves are handled in a frankly. Unprofessional manner. I mean, compare the update live streams done in jokey powerpoint slides to ttrs panles where they talk about progress on the updates. We really get little to no inside information until it's already ready to drop. Sure the game updates more regularly but all these updates are starting to feel like filler and padding. I at least can hope that hammerspace and mix and match at least come with some toon lore?

Its a shame that alot of what drew me into this game ends up weighing it down : (

Also yeah lol i didnt main tag this for a reason i do want to keep the discussion open! But all great points!

Leverage Redemption Log: The Work Study Job

Ultraviolet catastrophe is indeed a great bandname.

Girl walks in, "how could you"... im putting money on plagiarism? (its the only crime i can think of a student could figure out. Sure he could be working on a quantumphysics/nucear radiation based weapon for the military, but a student wouldnt know) Pressed continue, im right. Stage fright/anxiety. As someone who has never been diagnosed with anxiety but has some pretty anxiety-esque tendencies... this will be a hard episode for me. --- Skipping over the "client meeting" bit, cause nothing much happened there (besides the obvious) Back at the theatre Breanna has the powerpoint. Turns out, not only is he a fraud he's also a climate-change denialist (not because he doesnt believe in it, lobbyists just pay him).

Turns out Harry used to go to this school (he also used to do "little yellow pills")

Harry and Breanna are ideologically seperated? (i dont think they are, Harry isnt saying "the system works", for godssake he's on team leverage AKA team fuck the system) but we're gonna be force-fed some BS here. But Breanna is being really harsh here. Like all Harry is saying is "I have connections here, and I have built up enough credit with 'donations' that these doors are open to us".

Harry: Look guys, The slow option exists and any crime involved in getting her her research back could permanently destroy the girls legitimately and ultimately cost her the very future we're trying to get her back. If we steal it from him and she gets her stuff back, he'll just claim she stole it from him. Sad Parker: But I love crime! Harry: Ok you can do a little crime, as a treat.

Sophie is calling the shot: We'll at least give the official route a chance. (She does not seem to be under any illusions it'll work but have to get started somewhere) --- I agree with Sophie, "ultimate frisbee" is a dumb name for a sport.

Dean Alreadyforgothisname drops a tech billionaire, which feels like either someone we'll return to later in the episode or a future mark.

Elliot is stealing the camerafeed for Breanna, But gets spotted by someone who redirects him elsewhere to fix whatever needs fixing. Parker complains that college campusses, campussi? Campi? are too easy. The one way to prevent Elliot from kicking your ass: Be someone he genuinely likes and/or pities. (he's gonna be evil isnt he? Obligatory third act twist) Harry cant distract this guy too long, They find the stuff (its behind the whiteboard) but while Parker manages to hide Breanna is found --- Breanna, when a mark says "oh you're the janitor" your response is "yes let me just take the trash out", confirm their suspicions and biases. But now that you've failed the slam dunk exit time to flatter his glasses and ego, (and bait him with a new, promising student he can plagiarise next) He tries to bait her with an impossible question, but she sees through it and exposits that she actually knows what she's talking about. But breanna has made herself an opening next monday --- So he's looking to "sell" (techcically lease) the patent to this clean fusion research to an oil company.

Mr "genius" doesnt seem to understand what "installed backwards"means.

Breanna stalls and redirects the oilguy, Floyd is about to interfere with Elliot. Harry is going to request the hearing,

Floyd is suprisingly happy with Elliot. Are we shock-therapying the Oilcorpo?

Oh Floyd has friends (presumably the actual backbone staff of the institution, secretaries, accountants etc.) --- Ok so its a secret Illuminati order of janitorial staff. I've seen this joke before but also, dont mess with the janitors man. They know where the bodies are hidden as well as where to hide yours.

As far as taking Gray down, Elliot just won the fucking lottery.

Meanwhile Harry gets what amounts to an out-and-open admission of corruption from the Dean. (Rule number 1: Never admit to your crimes where Leverage is near. They have recorders in their ears. The Dean's job priviliges are hereby revoked.)

"we need all the crime". Simple line but it works. 8.6/10 --- New plan: Convince Gray that the girl stole the research from a third party and its way more valuable then he thinks.

Breanna tells Emma to help Sophie

Sophie on a greenscreen doing a Ted Talk, Elliot plants a book with Sophies thesis in the library.

Gray just entered the suplycloset/Sophies Lair. Sophie, you could've waited 1 minute, given him the time to steal stuff on camera and strengthen your futures.

--- Time to feign Tech Billionaire Status (that guy from earlier is getting dropped again) HARDISON IS PLAYING THE SPACEBILLIONAIRE! I am loving this. They really realised exactly how much leniancy a greenscreen gave them to work around this guys schedule. the legit look of glee on Sophie's face when she realises Hardison is joining this con. She (character) doesnt even need to fake it. (i dont want to presume on the feelings of the actor)

Hardison, you ducked up your coverstory in the first line. A tech billionaire admitting that their people did the work not themselves? God if only we lived in a world where that really happened. (i mean an ideal world obviously wouldnt have billionaires in the first place but one step at a time)

Gray has taken the bait. Sophie boner-baits him into a rush decision.

Problem with a violin scam, what if they have an actual buyer lined up. --- Ok so list of problems: Getting Emma in the room, Goading Gray to over-extend. Getting rid of a billionaire's security. thats 1 big problem and like, 2 quarters of a problem. (Emma is the legit issue, anxiety sucks)

Huh this tech billionaire is actually rather open minded and sensible. Ah they let him realise they're conning him to move the guards out of play.

All the janitors working together to funnel this guy into his doom. Gray tries to prevent Emma from meeting the Tech Billionaire just in time for commercial break. (he's about to gloat on a wire, while the billionaire is locked in a box with a functioning speaker hearing him admit everything) --- Oh yeah the billionaire went to school here, he's been in Gray's class and knows enough science to know that when a professor claims to have all the answers rather then admit "i dont know that, i'll look into it" from time to time its a big red flag. Obviously fuck billionaires, but on the scale of fictional billionares this guy is pretty good.

"I have Tenure" "We have a Harry".

LOVE UR HEADCANONSSS!! Can I request Karma Akabane MC lol

Leech twins, ruggie and riddle to Karma!MC

Well-known for your violent and troublesome nature, you're quite cunning, mischievous and somewhat sadistic. Despite your somewhat sadistic nature, you actually have good values behind your motives and could be quite empathetic.

You're more than capable of respecting and caring for others. However, you also tend to be quite impulsive, to the point of becoming truly brutal and cruel when fighting anyone who threatened you or the ones you care for.

Jade:

➣ ah another floyd but without the moodswings

➣ this is fine^^ 

➣probably almost had a fistfight with too 

➣jade wouldn't fistfight tho  

➣he would uh  

➣smile words fight????🤔🤔🤔  

➣like he would genuinely hurt ur feelings so much u might need a 10 recovery days  

➣but it is ok‼️if u do not give him a reason to, he will just tease u whenever he got the chance‼️  

➣its like koro-sensei teasing(?) karma when he got a score lower than asano  

➣but unfortunately, unlike koro-sensei, he does not have a good intention  

➣he teased u and observe ur reactions just for the hell of it  

➣and maybe as a small revenge  

➣a dangerous duo once y'all got along  

➣the whole school doesn't wanna get on yalls bad side  

➣y'all are kind of passive aggressive with each other tho which is not really surprising🤔

Floyd:

➣ probably got into a fistfight with at some point  

➣and when i say "at some point", i meant during book 2  

➣straight up mean girls hair pulling, slowmo punching and dodging, pained groans and all  

➣i meant this in a /hj way btw LSNSKNSS its probably more brutal than that  

➣ace, deuce, jack and jade had to stop yall 

➣so u can alr guess how bad both of ur relationship was🤔 

➣floyd likes to bother u 

➣hate or not, he still likes to bother u 

➣u just played along with him 

➣which probably what made y'all became closer  

➣frenemy amirite⁉️ 

➣a dangerous duo once y'all finally got along(20) 

➣imagine someone pissing off one of u and both just came at them charging 

➣yeah I'd change my identity

Ruggie:

➣ kind of on the safe side?🤔like hadn't faught yet but will if anything happens that actually involves you or your friends

➣he's wiping the sweat on his head with a nervous grin 

➣the sweat got on Leona's face and now ruggie is running 

➣/JOKE 

➣anyways u two could be best buddies 

➣honestly u probably saw him steal someone's food once 

➣and turned a blind eye on it 

➣even defended him if needed 

➣"ruggie stole ur food? are u dumb, u literally gave him ur food🤨🤔" 

➣mansplaining manslaughter manipulating for ruggie⁉️⁉️so true‼️ 

➣at one point he u became a leona #2 

➣bc he kept lecturing u to go to class (all bc he cared dont worry) 

➣well i mean at least you're passing your classes with high marks???🤔🤔so the lecturing session isn't even that intense 

➣he just, looks at u straight in the eyes and sigh and go "pls go to class, your good grades aren't gonna last long like this u dumb fuck "

➣maybe not the dumb fuck part🤔

Riddle:

➣ i was gonna say almost fight again

➣you'll have to bear with me here, it's literally a karma!mc 

➣so yeah almost faught💪‼️ ➣ace beat u to it literally

➣but after knowing everything and him apologizing, you're ok with him!!

➣well not really that quickly ofc but u actually tried to get along after

➣honestly? riddle might work as a motivational person for u to start studying again instead of doing things halfheartedly

➣he can and will start a powerpoint as to why u should study no matter how smart u are

➣and to attend classes bc he had been hearing from a certain SOMEONE that u always skip classes🤬🤬

➣u dont wanna go through riddle's hell lessons

➣other than that, riddle is a good friend to u!!!

MCYTblr: Art Ratio's Survey

Hello there tumblr! It is I Cup with another survey, but this time this will be a more serious study! I realize this post will be long but the information below is important. Also, credit to @wigglesforsquiggles for their help with this survey thus far!

We always talk about as artists or for our artists moots about the art ratios being "bad". Meaning that likes exceed reblogs, which do not contribute to visibility and promote art on the algorithm. So, based off our experiences I though it would be interesting to quantify that. I realize this is a big project and I am also a graduate student so I realize this may take a while/be a side project for me but it is something I really am interested doing.

The goal of this study is to not only quantify the ratio issues but to continue to serve as encouragement to REBLOG ART, especially in the mcytblr fandoms. All facets of mcytblr may participate (cc fans, mcc, empires smp, dsmp, etc.).

To explain the form here, there are 3 data points you may provide, meaning you may provide 3 art pieces as data for the survey. Your data and art WILL BE REPORTED ON ANONYMOUSLY only ever categorized by what "type" of art it is or what "fandom" it was for (dsmp art versus osmp art for example) though i do request you provide a link to the post on tumblr only so I can see that the art is a legitimate one, particularly one that is a few days old in posting (meaning a stable like:reblog ratio) though i do not mind really any time point of art because I may check that the ratios havent drastically updated before doing analysis. if you do not have 3 points of data to present and you are only providing 1 piece of art please type N/A into the required art link questions for 2 and 3 and then leave all other questions blank. Also note when I provide the raw data for the survey your art links will be censored for anonymity's sake.

For some bias prevention, I will not provide any of my own art for this study.

All art is allowed including traditional art, felt art, plushies, writing, etc. If your art type is not listed you may hit other and specify. Same goes for fandom listings, please specify if your fandom is not listed.

Also art must be FROM TUMBLR this is not a twitter art study (or instagram/etc), though in the future I do think that would be interesting to compare numbers to! I will also not accept reposted art that is not yours (though i do realize sometimes it wont be obvious to me in all cases). Also you may not post art in the study on someone else's behalf. I will be checking all entries to make sure the original poster is the same and that you did not provide 3 pieces of art from different tumblr users. If one art piece you posted was from an old blog/side blog/etc. you may specify to me in the comments that and thus your art can be included.

I realize this is not being conducted the most scientific way possible but like I said it will be a side project for me on top of schooling :)! I hope this is an enjoyable study for us all.

In how the data will be analyzed this is my preliminary plan but do realize this plan could change in the future: analyze overall ratios in mcytblr between different fandoms, between different types of art, between different cc's and characters, between different MCC's and teams, as well as any differences between lore events (such as doomsday versus final disc confrontation on the dream smp). I may even do statistical analysis if there are enough data points (such as significance testing/anova w/ post hoc/etc) (dont hold me to this one it really depends on how many responses i get/time/etc). Like my last survey I will post a powerpoint you may look through with links to my data and analysis.

I do reserve the right to omit data from analysis if it does not meet the requirements above (ex. you posted art on someone's behalf, its twitter, its reposted, etc.) or it is against major boundaries (pr*ship for ex), against cc boundaries on their characters, or if your response to the survey is a "joke response" (meaning you didnt actually provide data for the survey, or the link you provided wasnt to art). I will be transparent about omissions and mark them in the data and I will give reasons as to why. I realize this adds bias to the study but i srsly will not participate in things against my boundaries and others for this survey.

If you have any questions please send me an ask on anon or off!

and pls rb to get the word out even if you dont participate!

quinn and eliot definitely have a several-year-long recurring argument called Is Quinn Allowed To Kill Moreau: Why Or Why Not

initially quinn doesn't push because thats eliot's call and eliot's business and he offers as just. a casual favour for someone he likes. heard the dude's bad and he's in jail, im ur huckleberry etc etc—

—and then he gets conned into an actual Friendship and they actually Talk about the moreau situation and quinn, despite all reason and an increasingly disgruntled internal monologue about Boundaries and Getting Attached and Working For Free, finds himself breaking into eliots place to set up a projector for his lovingly-crafted powerpoint presentation like,

"so here's 153 reasons why you should let me shoot damien moreau in the face :) hear me out, pal, it's a great idea. it's self-care. parker agrees"

i love that eliot and quinn at LIGHTNING SPEED go from “ah yes, eliot spencer is here to settle scores” to “I dont know how eliot my friend eliot works with you people. Hey eliot do u need me to kill anyone for u. Im ur huckleberry. Hey eliot u owe me a favour right. Hey eliot. eliot. Wanna sit next to each other hey eLIOT”

Quinn imprinted like a duckling on the plane ride over, love this for him

SHABOWKNIGHT HEADCANONS PLASTERBOATS

This is how Shabowknights work in my brain. It just is. 

(Warning this is super long. like really long. its literally like 69k+ words im not kid. ding. i did include a couple poupble to help break up the bup the text. so. good lick.)

BECOMING A SHADOWKNIGHT

There is only one requirement for a person to become a shadowknight: you gotta feel it. you gotta reel it. you gotta feel it in the heart of the cards. sometimes ur having a rough day and youknow what thats fine. the shadowlord is totally there for you. hes your homie. your bro. your bromie. he can be anything you want him to be. but most importantly he is here for YOU. hes the cool boss. he lets you slack off on fridays, he puts slightly outdated memes in his powerpoint presentations. all for you. you’re welcome.

Now I hear what you’re thinking. What happens when the Shadowlord has a bad day? He can’t always be there for you, right? Wrong. The Shadowlord is on that grind, as the kids say. The grind never stops. no breaks. Stops? no stops. the only thing the Shadowlord is putting a stop to is ᴛʜᴇ ᴇɴᴛɪʀᴇ ʀᴜ'ᴀᴜɴ ʀᴇɢɪᴏɴ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴠɪʟʟᴀɢᴇ-ʟᴏʀᴅ sʏsᴛᴇᴍ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ɢᴏᴠᴇʀɴs ɪᴛ. Hes up all night and all day, working hard for you. give him a big thank you.

Not convinced? here’s a cool diagram he made for you. this could be us. you could be partially dead BUT holding hands with your best bro the Shadowlord. and really, what’s better than that? ghat? yeah? no. nothing. nothing is better. look at this diagram and fucking weep.

SHADOWKNIGHTS AND IMMORTALITY

All Shadowknights are immortal, as in immune to giving a shit. they just dont give a shit. they can just sit around for hours not giving a shit. do you give a shit? you shouldnt. you shoulding. houlding. hold mushrrom. thats what you should be doing right now. what are you waiting for? well???????????

If you were a Shadowknight, you could be holding a mushroom right now. That’s right. a whole mushroom just for you. but you arent. so you wont. why not? what’s stopping you? pledging your undying allegiance to the Shadowlord isnt so bad, we promise. it rocks, actually. we have pizza parties at the end of every month. does your employer hold pizza parties at the end of every month? I didn’t fucking think so.

Now I know what you’re thinking. But I dont waaaannnaaa kill the person I love the most! Well guess what? Sometimes you have to make hard decisions in life. Which is why you’re lucky that this decision is actually an easy one! I mean think about it, end of the month pizza party, mortal emotional attatchments. attachemnts. atatchments. fuck. however you spell it. Which one sounds cool as hell? Thats right. I don’t even have to say it. you know the answer. you already know the answer. i put it in your breain and it stays there.

Your favorite pizza topping.

What do you want on your pizza? I know you’re technically not one of the bros yet, but theres no way you wont be after all this, so I figured I’d go ahead and get your order down. Yeah i know the pizza party is a month away. im not ordering it right now. im ordering it later. that way its still fresh when it shows up. 

Although the delivery times out here in the nether kinda stink if I’m being honest. dont tell the shadowlord I said that though. he puts in a lot of time and effort to making sure everything is cool down here and like, really he doesn’t need to worry about the whole pizza delivery thing. like he already puts in so much time, the least i can do is cover the pizza thing yknow? 

I actually made the pizzas one month. have you ever made hundreds of personal pan custom pepperoni pizzas. its a lot of work. seriously. I kept burning them. so many burnt personal pan piping hot pipper pepper pepperoni personal pan personal pizzas. luckily im immune to fire, and i can never die. if you were one of the bros, you could be too. here’s your pizza.

Consuming the Pizza

Go on. eat it. I made it for you. what do you mean when did I have time to make a pizza? just now, while we were talking. didn’t you notice? maybe not. I’m good at making pizzas quickly now. ive had a lot of practice. maybe we could make some personal pan pinni mini pan pepperoni pizzas togethethter sometime.

oh my god. wait. im an idiot. im a fool. i was so focused on making you your personal pan pipini piziza pepperoni peper piza that i didnt even hear what you wanted for your toppings. im so sorry. oh my gosh im so sorry. i really didn’t mean to, i just got caught up in the moment. really. i promise. i know this reflects really badly on the whole shadowknight thing, but i promise this is a rare occasion. really. all the bros here in the nether are really kind and thoughtful, so stuff like this rarely ever happens. I really hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.

maybe its better that we dont have personal pipizini personal pan papaza pizzas. im not actually that good at making the pizazis. i lied. im sorry. im so sorry. this doesnt normally happen. i just wanted to sound cool. its been so long since someone’s considered joining the bros, i just wanted you to really like me. im so sorry. oh my god. im so sorry.

A Reformed Pizza

The pizza is metaphorical. we’re still friends, right? we’re still bros? future potential bros? the potential kinetic mechanical energy of bros? thats a little science joke for you, whwhwhere i just said the science words. I havent learned about science in a while, ive been stuck down here making personal pan pizzazos for a while. im sorry about the pizza thing again, by the way. i tossed  your bad personal pan pizza in the lava pool over there to make up for how sucks it was. it was really bad. yeah. its probably a good thing that nobody ate it.

A Sturdier Pizza

The pizza is literal. We can make a new pizza. together. with my powers and yours combined. give me your hand. we are holding hands now. these are the hands that will make a new pizza. together. we can do it if we believe. do you believe? in our new world? in our now pizza? you should. you should believe. you better fucking believe it.

[maliceinborderland]

I know for a fact that Niragi would talk about dumb stuff "Is water wet" type of stuff and Last Boss would look annoyed but actually secretly enjoy his weird ass

And that’s the thing! Niragi would argue that water is not wet and Last Boss would think “what in the actual fuck cuz yes it is” and it would cause Niragi to bust out all of his brain cells to support his argument, I mean his dumb ass would 100% have a PowerPoint presentation made as to why water is not wet but because it isn’t possible in the borderlands, he’s made doodles on a whiteboard. (He’s not a good artist, and his handwriting is so gnarly it would even make doctors scratch their heads, bless his little soul)

I’m 100% sure that when they go on rounds, scouting around Tokyo for food or supplies, that when they’ve driven past a Burger King or whatever, Niragi would say some shit like “yo, I miss their spicy nuggets.” And LB would be like “their nuggets? You’re a grown man. Dont you eat the burgers?” And Niragi would be like “no mf spicy nuggets for the fucking win don’t get me started on the chicken fries” and LB is just like “why tf are you ordering chicken at a BURGER KING WHERE THEY SELL BURGERS” but he’d probably not voice this last but and just flare his nostrils and widen his eyes at Niragi who’s moping while looking out the window because Burger King’s spicy nuggets are, in fact, missed.

More than anything Last Boss is deeply disturbed by most of the conversation topics Niragi would come up with, not because of how gruesome they are, not at all, but because as much as Niragi says and does the dumbest shit throughout the day like “lol look at me freak the fuck out of this pigeon with my laser scope” he’ll bust out some deep ass thoughts in the middle of their last night rounds like “we’re alive but are we living” and it would just fuck with Last Boss so bad because is he living? is he just alive? But would he entertain Niragi?

No.

Anything and everything Niragi throws Last Boss’s way is met with a “shut the fuck up, kid.”

To a certain extent, I think Last Boss enjoys Niragi’s company. Keep in mind, LB was a hikikomori in the real world, so having someone around you all the time is bizarre, perhaps tenfold when it’s Niragi. Even though Niragi’s behavior is shaped by his “freedom” in the borderlands, I think LB connects with Niragi in the sense that neither of them felt “alive,” or felt a sense of purpose, until they got to the borderlands.

I think this is what makes their companionship work.

[byooregard]

your blorbos!!! so we definitely have:

the aced attorney folks, of COURSE, uh. Trucy in particular. also Klavier Phoenix Athena and Rynosuke?

also those homosexual fellows in Our Flag Means Death, idk enough yet to know which is your fave

I’d say Essek was a while ago but he still counts. and Caleb. but mostly Essek.

is Medea Khorapodcast your favorite from that show? i think she is. is she a blorbo though?

im sure im missing some important ones that i just can’t think of lol

did i get a good grade

hmm okay so u know my interests better so i will be taking that into my grading account. uhh the thing with blorbo from my shows it that it encapsulates a rather specific emotion held towards a fictional character, at least in my head in which case

with aa characters. i'd say that that is a solid yeah those are all my blorbos but it depends on what emotion you assosicate with blorbos. i consider ryunosuke the most blorbo of this group because whenever i see him i go !!!! that's blorbo from my games. however i don't think i can justify phoenix trucy or klav NOT being blorbos because i made a whole powerpoint on phoenix and I'm the trucy girl and klavier gavin is klavier gavin

hmm i wouldn't consider anyone from our flag means death a blorbo as it does not unlock those specific emotions in me but pirates :) so points

essek is blorbo from my show enough that he has gained status as a permanent blorbo like on any list of favorite characters he will always be there no matter how far I've moved on. caleb too to a lesser extent

uhh i'd say nah medea may be of the character type that i get attached to a lot but i was honestly more a medusa fan when i was still writing khora

checking the list of blorbos i'd say youre missing some shadowhunters ones but that's cos i do not talk about my old cringe interests to people who dont also have the same old cringe interests / people who ask

overall i'd give you a solid.... B+

[elliethesuperfruitlover]

bnha shit ahead

okay this is a rant real quick. (strap urself in) im not upset, but THIS NEEDS TO BE POINTED OUT.

feel free to give your opinion, dish some things out, the like :)

alright, you have the authority to disagree (if you want), it’s my opinion xx. alright so bakugou has anger issues because of his upbringing. like, one would think that it’s like “he’s kinda upset about well...everything, and he keeps shitting on deku like it’s his job to.” that’s kind of his ENTIRE character. like.....literally. he has his moments of softness and everything, but his (first) hero names were “lord explosion murder” or variants of that. i’ve watched ALL my hero academia episodes, spare the 2 movies, and if someone was to ask me “what comes to mind when you think of bakugou katsuki?” i would say “anger issues and the color red/orange.” this man gives off black air forces, listening to steppin’ by 21 savage vibes. (dont let him get a hold of your demonias).

now, on multiple occasions, i have wanted to PERSONALLY beat bakugou’s ass. im talkin’ “DEKU, DUMBASS, I NEED YOUR HELP” type ass beatin’. you gon’ need all might PLUS all 50 goddamn united states of smash to save his ass.  ✨plus ultra ✨ on that hoe.

SLEEPING HIS ASS. because he needs to be put in his damn place.

let me put this into perspective.

my toxic trait is that i love competition. i don’t turn things that arent competitive into competition, but if it IS competitive, im a bitch, i MEAN it. i won’t play dirty, but i will do everything in my power to be...well...the best. 

bakugou acts the same way, he wants to be better than midoriya, the number one hero, yada yada. okay thats fine. but where is all this ANGER COMING FROM? 

✨his mama ✨

why are you saying this? how does it add up? you may be asking....sit the fuck down, let me get these (limited) receipts.

okay so, in the episode where aizawa and all might had to go around to the students’ houses, in order to tell their parents about the dorms that UA is implementing, i find my reasoning. now, in the opening scene, we can see bakugou’s mama SLAPPING HER SON UPSIDE THE HEAD, with no fucking reaction. like it’s what....normal. like it’s some type of regular occurence. and of course, he’s fucking yelling at her (i would too if i know my ass wouldn’t get beat). he finally has the balls to stand up against her and be like “hey.......please stop hitting me” WHICH WE LOVE. but like???? this must be ongoing. dont nobody just start beatin’ they kid when they’re FIFTEEN YEARS OLD. maybe that’s when their parent starts fucking laying off of them a lil bit.

she straight up BITCH SLAPS her ONLY son in front of not only her husband, but his HOMEROOM TEACHER, AND MR. YAGI TOSHINORI. the fawk? if i did some trifflin’ shit, at least my mom would have the sense to like let the guests leave, then dish me out. she is out to EMBARASS her son. and hurt him (both emotionally and physically because she had a fucking death grip on him)

and the “if you werent so weak” comment that she made just threw my ass out, i gotta order a new one offa’ ebay. 

this man has childhood TRAUMA connected to his mom, and how she treats him this is where his anger issues come from, his other mindsets, all of those things. just in that little thing. and like i get when she was complimenting him and everything, but if i were in that position, i would eat up those nice words, only to think about the blaring pain in my skull where i just got backhanded a few minutes ago.

anyway uh, thanks for coming to my ted talk.

i’ve been thinking about this a lot lol. i dont often talk about BNHA, but when i do, you may not be able to stop me. i enjoy analyzing different characters, and their background and the like. this isn’t just for my hero academia either, i literally made a whole powerpoint on invincible characters, just talking about them....because i fucking ADORE that show.

there’s so much to talk about though, and when im done simping over her, midnight may be next on that list...hmmm. we’ll see.

@misskittysmagicportal, @super-unpredictable98, @robert-sheehan, @hucklebunny​, @maerenee930, @magic-multicolored-miracle​​

(yes i know full damn well that some of yall dont know what in the name of god im talking about but bear with me pls xx)

[galaxyofmyown]

can you do hotch with a reader with an age gap? maybe something to do with the song “dont stand so close to me” from the police

hello darling! here you go. i obviously aged the song up so she’s in higher education so as to not make her younger than 25 which is my usual rule of thumb. enjoyyyyyyyy! xo

aaron hotchner x reader - just a number

young teacher, the subject of schoolgirl fantasy

Aaron needs to stop letting himself get roped into this kind of thing. He’s much better suited for sitting behind a desk than standing in front of a classroom. But here he was anyway, at Virginia Commonwealth University, guest-lecturing for a Professional Ethics and Liability class. The professor was a friend of his from his prosecutor days and he owed her a favor. 

Despite Hotch’s general confidence surrounding his career, public speaking is not one of his favorite things. But he’s gotten good at faking it over the years, so his voice carries throughout the lecture hall confidently. There couldn’t be more than 30 people in the room considering the class was only open for people pursuing an M.S. in Criminal Justice. Perhaps this is why his eyes kept wandering back to you. Sitting third row left, dutifully taking notes.

At first, there didn’t seem to be anything special about you. Sure, you were beautiful, but all the girls in the lecture hall were objectively good looking. You weren’t even dressed to impress, lounging in your seat with leggings and a big sweatshirt on. But you had a wiser-than-your-years air about you, and you seemed extremely interested in the subject matter. Hotch couldn’t stop thinking about you, couldn’t tear his gaze away every time you wrapped your lips around the straw of your iced coffee. His interest in you nagged at him. You couldn’t possibly be older than 25. He’d never felt so attracted to someone so young before. Although not explicitly wrong, it did conflict with his personal morals.

she wants him so badly, knows what she wants to be

Yeah, you had a crush on Aaron Hotchner. Despite having only known of his existence for about an hour and 45 minutes, you were under his spell. He’s more charming and well-spoken than most of your professors, and they do this shit for a living. The way he carries himself, the way he moves his hands when gesturing to the screen. It was… hot. But it was more than that. He was smart and competent and his credentials were certainly impressive. And you weren’t the only one to notice. There were many people in your class that looked as interested in him as you felt.

“That’s all I have for you today. Does anybody have any questions?” Hotchner asks the PowerPoint goes black. A few people raise their hands, including yourself. You actually do have a question, but you’re filled with nerves as he looks at you.

“Yes, you in the third row. What’s your name?” He asks. You feel hot. 

“(Y/N) (Y/L/N), sir.” God, he hates that you called him that. Or rather, he hates how much he loves it. You ask your question about how attorney allocations often lead to unjust decisions in court. Agent Hotchner smiles as you speak, causing one girl to turn to you and roll her eyes. Oops?

her friends are so jealous, you know how bad girls get  sometimes it's not so easy to be the teacher's pet

“That’s a great question, (Y/N).” Hotchner says (earning you eye roll #2) before spouting off an answer, which you scribbled down in your notebook. He answers a few more questions, and you notice that he didn’t ask anyone else for their name. But that doesn’t mean anything right? As your professor joins Agent Hotchner in the front to thank him for speaking, you realize that you’re never going to see this man again.

And frankly, that’s unacceptable.

You need to say something to him before he leaves, so you stay in your seat as the other students either leave or walk up to talk to Professor Ramirez or Hotchner. Many students are attempting to mask their blatant flirtation with a question, which, like, power to them, but you still felt the distant and unfamiliar sting of jealousy. You don’t miss the way the Agent keeps looking at you, however, which fuels your barely existent confidence. You walk up to Hotchner right after the last student leaves, and boldly stick your hand out. He shakes it and the warmth of his hand seems to move through your entire body.

“It’s (Y/N), correct?” He asks. You nod.

“That’s correct, Agent.” Hotchner smiles at you.

“Please, you can call me Hotch.” He says.

“Alright, Hotch. I just wanted to say that it’s great to meet you. An honor, really.” “It’s great to meet you too.” He says, and if you didn’t know better you would say his tone was FLIRTATIOUS, “Are you interested in working for the FBI?” He asks and you can’t help but laugh.

“God, no.” You say, which makes him raise an eyebrow.

“No?”

“Sorry, sir, no offense, but I really don’t trust the government enough to work for them.” You say, and try to contain your smile when he laughs.

“Fair enough. So what is it you want to be doing?”

“I’ll tell you, but you can’t laugh at me-”

“I would never laugh at you.” He interrupts, and you smile.

“Okay, then. I want to be a private investigator.” Hotch looks surprised, but he nods in approval.

“I can respect that. Although you’ll make plenty of enemies that way.”

“Hm. That’s okay with me. I have a lot of friends.”

“So you’ll strike a balance.”

“Exactly.”

You stand in front of him for a second, calculating your next move.

“Is there something you needed to ask me?” He asks, looking into your eyes. You almost chicken out, but then-

“Yes, actually. Um, this is a bit weird, and I’ve never done this before, but… would you maybe want to get dinner with me sometime?” You ask, forcing yourself not to break eye contact. Hotch’s face remains controlled, and you can’t gauge his reaction.

temptation, frustration, so bad it makes him cry

“I’m sorry, (Y/N). You’re lovely and seem like a great person, but I don’t think that would be appropriate.” He says, and you deflate (although you try not to show it). Trying not to cry from embarrassment, you smile at him and nod.

“I understand, Agent. Have a good night!” You say, staying as positive as possible. Hotch looks at you with pity, which is the last thing you need.

“I really am sorry, (Y/N).” He says.

“Don’t be. Have a good night.” You say, and you’re out the door before he can respond.

You walk to the exit and groan when you see that it’s pouring rain outside.

“Shit.” You say, digging around in your bag for your umbrella, but you can’t find it anywhere.

“Fuck.”

Usually, you’d walk to your apartment from school, but you can barely see the street in front of you with all the rain. You jog over to the bus stop and nearly collapse onto the seat, ignoring everyone around you. Today sucks.

wet bus stop, she's waiting, his car is warm and dry

Hotch pulled out of his reserved parking space carefully. He’s glad he thought to take an umbrella today. He turns up the heat in his car and breathes in the warm air. He can’t stop thinking about you. Was he an idiot for turning you down? It felt like the right thing to do, but now he just feels stupid. He groans as he pulls up at a stoplight. Driving through Richmond at night and in this weather was going to be a nightmare. He looks to his right and sees you, soaking wet and miserable. God. He’s pulling the car over before he can even weigh his options. There’s no way he was going to make you take the bus this late without any protection. He rolled down his window.

“(Y/N)!” He called, startling you. You look up, your expression a mix of hopefulness and embarrassment.

“Yeah?” You ask tentatively. Hotch falters for a moment, then says,

“I can drive you home.”

“Oh, no, it’s okay I’ll just-”

“I’m worried about you. Get in if you want. It’s really no problem.” 

You hesitate, and Hotch can practically hear your conflicting thoughts. But you get in the car nonetheless, and holy shit. He has heated seats.

“Thank you.” You say as you close the door. You immediately feel better, the warmth of the car soothing you, the leather seats making you feel less guilty for being soaked in this obviously expensive car.

“It’s no problem. Where should I go?”

You give him directions, his rumbling voice and soft demeanor making you feel so comfortable. The drive only takes 5 minutes, and suddenly you wish you lived farther away.

“It’s this one.” You say, and he parallel parks flawlessly. Hot.

“I’ll walk you up.” He says, reaching for his seatbelt. You put your hand over his before he can unclick it, and he looks up at you.

“Don’t please. I’ll be fine.” You rush out, not eager for him to see the inside of your shabby apartment building. He relents, but before you can pull your hand away he grabs it, softly stroking it with his thumb. It’s an awkward angle, but it makes your heart race nonetheless.

“Hotch?” You ask quietly, and he’s pulled out of his trance. He pulls his hand away and turns back to face the front.

“Sorry. Uh, good night.” He says, and you sigh.

“I’m 25, Hotch. I have a full-time job-”

“(Y/N)-”

“No. Let me say this, please. I have a full-time job and I’m taking night classes for my Master’s. I have my own insurance. I can vote, drink, rent a car. My brain is fully developed. You aren’t my boss. You aren’t my professor. You’re just a guy. I’m just a girl. It’s that simple. If you aren’t interested just say that and I’ll get out right now. But if this is about my age, or your age, then I think you’re making a mistake.” You say, your voice growing stronger with each word. Hotch looks at you, but his guard isn’t up this time. You know exactly what he’s thinking.

“Kiss me, Hotch.” You say. Hotch smiles.

“Call me Aaron.”

“Okay, how many times are you gonna change your name because-”

Aaron pulls you to him before you can finish your thought. His lips are softer than you expected, and he kisses like a guy with 20 years more experience than you. And it’s amazing.

“Wow.” You say as he pulls away. He presses his forehead against yours, and he’s full-on grinning now.

“Are you sure you don’t want me to walk you to your door?” He asks, and you can’t help it: You giggle like a schoolgirl.

don't stand so close to me

[olde-scratch]

So I watched LUCIDS 1-4 without any prior knowledge...

and here were my thoughts. I didn’t watch any backstory or anything so enjoy my suffering.

PART 1

“So what happens when the people inside of their dreams go to sleep?” They die

“What happens when we wake up? Do they go on living while we’re not there?” THEY DIE-

“Who are they anyway?” they’re faces that our brain catalogs and stores for later use, although it’s also arguable that every time we dream we go to an alternate reality and inhabit the body of another version of ourselves. Now, were you in a car accident and trapped underwater or-

Are they twins?

(Me tuning out to do something)

“-the squirrel in spongebob was your soulmate, making you a Sandy simp-”

Me, snapping back to the video: hold up-

how many camp camp references can i make during this

Is the apple a reference to religion or does the creator just really ilke apples?

“meal.”

“meal?”

meal????

Wait why couldn’t that guy eat the apple? If he wanted it in the fruit bowl, wouldn’t there be a chance of the guy eating it anyways?? Why can’t the guy who brought the apple eat it?

well he’s Dead

[debating if I should read the backstory}

n a h h h h h -

Was he gonna feed the dead guy the apple or something? Why is he upset about the apple in this scene???

quinn? calling himself jasper? u sure hes not just nonbinary? is this just a metaphor for transphobic parenting?

“He died... but somewhere, he grew up.” So is your plan to take a Quinn from a different universe and make him your own, thereby robbing another version of yourself from happiness? When does this ever go well?

Yknow most people, when they lose a kid,,,, kinda,,,,,,, dont go on a ceaseless quest to find another version of their kid that grew up without knowing that another version of his mother was invading other peoples’ dreams to find and kidnap him,,,,,,,, like aint u got a therapist-

WHICH ONE IS QUINN?? WHO’S JASPER???? WHICH ONE IS BENJAMIN???? I THOUGH BENJAMIN WAS SEVEN BUT I THOUGHT HE WAS THE ONE GETTING MARRIED WHAT-

oliver. eat the apple.

“Can you still have memories even when you’re dreaming?” One time I woke up to my alarm and fell back asleep and in my dream I remembered that I had class in a few minutes and my dream self woke my real self up so fast I thought I was gonna get whiplash. Anyways, I was late to class bc of my computer but that doesn’t matter.

NOPE I FOUND IT. HERE’S THE AUDIO. THE ANIMATIC ONE. FINALLY.

im thinking car crash. but also maybe murder. but also maybe both? is it raining or was he drowning? is he in a coma? hmmmmmm?

wait olivers the one with the apple does that mean he’s the one dreaming? is the ending gonna be him and jasper (quinn? idk) fighting against ben and mrs hills about jasper eating the apple to save oliver from the dream? hmmmmmmmmmm-

waitwaitwait i thought oliver was 7 how is benjamin 7 years younger than him if they look the same age what what what explain america explain what you mean arkansaw-

are the cuts on his nose plot-relevant or

“What if you hadn’t been driving?” So I was right about the car accident but Mrs. Hills still said he was seven so did i mishear her say that BENJAMIN was seven? but even then oliver would be 14 and that would still be illegal-

“How are you feeling?”

“Like you’re a pretty bad therapist.”

mood

“--it makes it all bearable to have power over the stories we write in our heads” that’s why i write fanfiction

WHAT YOU MEAN AN EXPERIMENT THAT’S HIS NAME-

[upon reading the description] so i was right.

so

wait

hills wants ben to feed quinn the apple bc in his mind, that will give hills and quinn a happy ending and she doesnt want ben to see the apple bc thats gonna mean ben will know that his reality isnt reality at all. so then oliver has to,,,, not let anyone eat his apple? he just has to wake up?

IS HILLS THE VILLAIN AFTER ALL ORRRRR

wait but if ben sees the apple wont he realize that his reality is wrong and his reality will change, making it so that hills doesnt get her son? or is there some time-based rule that says they’re only transported to the reality that the person believes at that moment? or is this another stab at the multiverse thing where an infinite amount of hills gets their happy endings while an infinite amount of hills doesnt and etc etc?

if i dream about apples im suing /j /lh

[khaleesiofalicante]

I was totally not counting the second since 11 30

i am not ready

I JUST PUT MY LBAF PLAYLIST ON

IM SHIVERING IT'S SO COLD

wait i'll move to the room im sitting out in the open

OK I GOT BLANKET

FUCK I LEFT SMTH BEHIN

OK LET'S GO

OMG ALEC CALLED HIM BABY

alec knows

oh my god that conversation

gonna cry

“Magnus, no!” Alec snapped. “No one is sacrificing themselves.”

YES TELL HIM

MAGNUS SIT THE FUCK DOWN

“Hate the beach,” Max had said in the same petulant voice he had when he had been four.

AHHH OH MY GOD

it's freezing wtf

The photo of the four of them.

Max and Rafe building a sandcastle – one in the shape of the Eiffel Tower. Alec was holding a cocktail, for once posing for a photo. Magnus was resting peacefully in the sunchair – knowing his family was there and okay.

Even now, even after all these years, the memory brought him peace.

No. It wasn’t just the memory. It was them. His family.

They brought him peace. They always did.

i just love them so much

this is so precious

Max belonged here – in their home. And Max’s magic and immortality belonged only to him.

“Let’s go bring that little shit back home,” Rafael smiled.

I WILL CRY DO NOT DO THIS TO ME

but yes

let's bring him home

OK WHO FUCKED UP THE WEAPON

Alec closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his eyes nose. When he opened his eyes, his blue eyes were calm.

Magnus had no idea how he did that.

He had no idea how Alec had managed to lead his people through all of this.

But if anyone could do it, it was Alec Lightwood.

i love him so much he deserves the world

OH MY GOD THE SWORD IS TOO MUCH TO HOLD

WELL FUCK

“How are we supposed to kill Asmodeus with this if we can’t even hold it for five fucking minutes?” Alec demanded angrily.

ALEC ASKING THE REAL QUESTIONS

ok but he's always so collected but seeing him lose his shit

angel by the wings is such a good song

YEAH YEAH WE GET IT GREAT DESTINY SWORD

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE PERSON

WHO ARE YOU

oop is it magnus

DUDE I GOT CHILLS READING THAT MESSAGE

IT HIT ME HARD

magnus...so many love you

you have no clue how many people are gonna come

“This is insane,” Magnus said again. “No one is going to turn up!”

Alec who had been looking shocked this whole time smiled at that. “You really have no idea, do you?”

Magnus frowned in confusion.

“You have no idea how much you mean to people,” Alec said and then turned to Jace. “How many people can we expect?”

“Thousands,” Jace grinned. “Tens and thousands.”

asmodeus better start counting his moments

this made me so emotional

because it's true. he's so fucking loved

a message like this...you can expect the whole of the shadow world

“Magnus Bane,” Alec said. “For once in your life, sit back and let us do the work.”

“But-”

“You don’t have to do anything,” Alec smiled. “Just stay close to me. We’ll take care of the rest.”

yes.

you've protected them so many times before. now let them to the same

they will show up

magnus oh my god i wanna sit him down and show him a powerpoint presentation of how loved he is

But Magnus wanted to say they haven’t got this.

The shadow world would not turn up in Edom.

Magnus had never done any of the things in his life expecting something in return – definitely not something like this.

He fought for people – and always will – but he didn’t expect them to fight back for him.

And he certainly didn’t expect them to go to hell for him.

Quite literally.

hey. hey listen up. i know it's hard to believe but you are so so loved. there are so many people who would go to hell for you because they love you and they trust you

those who typically are the caretakers dont realise this. but you oh my god you. trust alec and trust max ok? you'll be surprised by how many will come

holy shit the portals...

holy fucking shit that's so cool

max you did it

you crazy genius you did it

you crazy reckless little shit

“Now we walk through that portal,” Alec smiled. “And we hope everyone else does the same.”

AND THEY WILL

what if someone was taking a nap...?

They had come.

The shadow world.

They had come to fight for him.

im actually tearing up

Because a warlock’s power didn’t come from their blood – not really.

It came from the heart.

And Max’s heart…Well, it spoke for itself.

YOU LITTLE SHIT COME HERE LEMME GIVE YOU A HUG AND ICE CREAM

his dream...

this is it

THE NAME IS KARMA

IT'S BEAUTIFUL

ALRIGHT WHOEVER IS THE DESTINED PERSON GET HERE

“Don’t underestimate my upper body strength,” she winked at Alec and flew upwards.

“Damn, okay then,” Alec let out a soft chuckle.

oh my god strong women

I HAD MY GCS ON MUTE BUT I LITERALLY WENT ON THERE TO GAY PANIC

IM GONNA FUCKING CRY MAX

In that moment, Magnus realized what he had done.

This is how Max must have felt.

Awful and horrified and powerless and utterly terrified to the core.

He had done that to Max.

He knew he had done it to protect him.

But that didn't matter. No one should feel this. Ever.

yeah you really screwd up when you did that...

He needs to know Magnus is sorry. He needs to know Magnus loves him. He needs to know Magnus is so proud of him.

Please. He needs to know.

oh my god tears

DO YOU WANT ME TO CRY

ASMODEUS FUCK YOU STOP MAKING PEOPLE DISAPPEAR YOU ARE HORRIBLE

OH MY GOD CHOPIN

MAX OMG YOU'RE OK

Max’s voice was amused and confused - and alive. “Why is your demon baby sitting on my face?”

good question

MAGNUS WAS INVITING DAVID INTO A GROUP HUG

NO ONE TOUCH ME

ASMODEUS STOP DOING THAT

“I’m going to kill Asmodeus,” Max growled.

Alec stood up at that and grinned at their son. “Good plan. Let’s do that.”

YES LET'S DO THIS SHIT

He felt Max soften against him. “Crazy warlock.”

“Takes one to know one,” Magnus pointed out.

SHUT UP IM SO TEARS

“Holy shit. I’ve never seen so many demons in one place before. It’s like Christmas came early.”

Clary pierced a demon with a sword and looked at him incredulously. “I’m married to a mad man.”

“You know it, babe,” Jace winked at her.

JACE JCUDFUFR NOT THE TIME

I SWEAR I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

so much adrenalin

“I saw Lexi flying around a moment ago.”

“So, that’s just a thing we say now then?” Jace laughed.

AWWW

they are going to be ok...they are gonna be together...all of them

it's hitting me i guess

SCUIUDVUHVD NOT AT THESE TWO MAKING OUT DURING A BATTLE

“Straight people,” Alec muttered and ran towards them.

“Ah, so it’s okay if you do it,” Jace accused. “I see how it is.”

straight people smh

i think it's gonna be magnus who weilds karma

kids killing abusive parents yes yes yes please bring it on

“Bro,” Jace sighed. “I owe you one.”

“Remember that the next time I ask you to save my life in World of Warcraft,” Simon said.

“Deal,” Jace grinned.

i love them so fucking much

i will cry

i feel like i say that a lot

LILY

OH MY GOD

DAVID

HE

HE

HE

HE CALLED HIM PAPA

SHUT UP EVERYONE I AM TEARING UP

HE CALLED THEM MAMA AND PAPA

EVERYONE SHUT UP THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS

SELENA IS HERE TOO

THEY ARE TIRED

WHERE IS THE YA CHOSEN ONE

WHERE ARE YOU

“Selena, it’s not about what kind of power you have,” Jace said softly. “It’s how you use it. If you can use it to help people, then you should do just that.”

this!!

it's all about how you use it...

you're doing great honey. we'll get there one day. maybe not today or tomorrow but one day we'll heal from this. selena youre doing great

Jace smiled at her. He put two fingers in his mouth, and whistled loudly.

Lexi landed next to him a moment later. “We need to have a chat about you summoning me like that.”

OH MY GOD THEM

JACE AND LEXI'S EVERY INTERACTION IS GOLD

ARE GABRIEL AND SELENA GONNA BE ENDGAME??

oo me likey

i switch ships very fast dont judge

OH HE CALLED HER LITTLE MERMAID

“Wow,” David whispered. “Papa. Did you feel that too?”

Jace’s eyes teared up at that.

“He is going to cry every time you call him that,” Clary told their son.

“Excuse you,” Jace sniffled. “You still haven’t let go of his hand.”

they are together. they are a family.

im not ok

“David,” Jace said carefully. “Is that a demon inside your backpack?”

“Uh,” David said awkwardly. “I can explain.”

“You know what? It’s fine,” Clary sighed. “This doesn’t even make it to the top 5 of the weirdest things I’ve seen this week.”

OH MY GOD DFHUUDFUYGFDUHYDHJD

Asmodeus back off

fuck you

Jace knew that Magnus, that beautiful self-sacrificial idiot would without a doubt give himself up to save the rest of them.

But Jace wouldn’t let that happen.

Not just because Magnus was Alec’s heart and Jace loved Alec like life itself.

But because he loved Magnus too.

no one touch me.

them...just them

The warlocks were not fighting. They were running around the battlefield healing people and taking care of battle wounds.

thank you. thank you for coming here. thank you for this

IT'S THE WAY THEY ARE UNITED UNDER ALEC'S CLAVE

“Consul,” David whispered at Max’s father. “You brought my bow.”

“I had a feeling you’ll be needing it,” Alec Lightwood winked at him. “An archer should never be without his bow.”

“Sir,” David croaked. “I just…Thank you. I don’t even-”

“Not now, David,” the man shushed him. “I have to put an arrow through my father-in-law.”

Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god

FREAKING OUT

THE LAST LINE THOUGH UHUDUHSFD YES

SHIT IT'S 2 AM-

JACKSON

“Are silent brothers allowed to hug?”

I don’t give a shit.

“Are silent brothers allowed to swear?”

I still don’t give a shit.

IM GONNA-

THE LONDON BOYS

it's them

ALRIGHT SOMEONE HAND THAT SWORD TO MAGNUS

IM TELLING YOU IT'S HIM

RAFAEL

I MISSED YOU

“God, she is so sexy when she does that,” Rafael sighed and ran towards Anjali.

She kissed Rafael thoroughly and went back to squeezing the life out of demons.

OH MY GOD I LOVE THEM

I AM ALSO LISTENING TO STYLE SO-

DHUHFVUHFVHV

JULIAN

“Shut your sexy mouth, Julian Blackthorn,” Max ordered. “I’m trying to focus here.”

JKUHCUHVD ISTG

asmodeus stfu

no one likes you

“Stop stalking people, you creepy piece of shit!” Max yelled.

ASMODEUS ISTG YOU ARE VERY CREEPY

My leg cramp

fuck

David hated this.

He hated Asmodes for doing this.

He could forgive the kidnapping, but he couldn’t look past this. This mistreatment of Magnus.

David knew what it was like to have a father who was also a bully.

A father who didn’t protect, but a father you had to be protected from.

THIS!

You were his fucking father

“Don’t fucking grab my parabatai like that,” Lexi said dangerously. "She is precious cargo!"

EXACTLY UHCUSDFYUDF

OH MY GOD STOP SPLITTING THEM UP

WARRIORS IS PLAYING IT IS SO FITTING

LEMME LOOP IT

what the fuck...

“Take what you can!” Rafael shouted. “For Magnus Bane!”

“For Magnus Bane!” the entire battlefield roared.

THIS

the way they are ready to die for him in a hell dimension

if they lose, the shadow world ends

and just...

blood bending...

no...no dont do that

He took Max’s face in his hands. “You’ll always come back, Max.”

“How do you know?” the warlock asked.

David bumped their foreheads together, his hands steady on Max’s face.

“You’ll come back,” David promised. “Because I’ll be right here waiting for you.”

OH WE'RE NOT USING BLOOD BENDING?

I WILL ACTUALLY CRY THEM

their love

only david would want to write a poem while he's LITERALLY in a storm of demons

blood bending's fucking hot

Max's big blue eyes were scared.

Not of demons though. Max had never been afraid of demons.

David realized Max was scared of David – of what David would see.

What David would think. What David would feel.

He smiled at his boyfriend – for he only ever thought and felt one thing when it came to the blue warlock.

“Max Lightwood-Bane,” David mouthed. “I fucking love you.”

IM NOT OK I LOVE THEM AND I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

they are so powerful together

i love them

“Max. My angel,” David smiled and pulled the boy closer. “I’m not afraid of you. I’ll never be afraid of you.”

Max let out a tiny breath of relief and closed his eyes.

“Let go,” David whispered and crashed their lips together.

THEM JUST THEM

LMAO ASMODEUS YOU SCARED?

CJKUDJHUDF

Also rafe is such a good leader sob

Alec had never been prouder of Max than in that moment.

“Your children are something else,” Mark Blackthorn muttered from next to him.

“I know,” Alec grinned at the shadowhunter and turned around.

im so proud

rafael just...from the air

so fucking proud

they...they formed a circle around him

IM GONNA BE SOBBING ON THE GROUND IF ANYONE NEEDS ME

It ached at all the love these people had for Magnus.

He felt so overwhelmed.

For he knew, no one deserved this more than Magnus.

just....

they love him so much

“Our boys are so big now,” Magnus whispered.

right??

it hurts but hurts so good

It was an odd feeling to be able to hold your entire world in your hands. But Alec was one of those lucky people.

He wanted to stay like this forever. He wanted to hold and never let go.

OH MY GOD THEM

oh oh oh

yeah...yeah he's right

ragnor' s right

god dont give him the sword i take back what i said

Because even though it was the meaning of Alec’s name, Magnus was the ultimate protector out of them all.

He was a protector. Not a destroyer.

the love i have for them

OH MY GOD

ASMODEUS STOP IT

FUCKING STOP

IT'S ENOUGH

just...the three of them running to magnus

that's it. that's all i have to say

NO

STOP HURTING HIM

STOP IT

YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH

you've hurt him for centuries.

you have never left him alone. please just stop now

it's enough

OH MY GOD ALEC PUNCHED HIM

NO STOP

ASMODEUS STOP IT

IM GOING TO CRY

YOU FUCKING BITCH

The man wasn’t just a killer. He was a sadist.

He preferred to use his magic – Magnus’ magic – to hurt Alec.

THIS HURTS THE MOST

oh my god im gonna die of hypothermia

Asmodeus bent down and picked up a discarded seraph blade. It lit up in red. He walked over to Alec, twirling the blade between his hands. “Let’s make this poetic, shall we?”

STOP

FFS STOP IT

dont

OMG MAX

MAX NO

FUCK

This hurts so so much

he's hurting them

no no stop

im actually sitting here too shocked to process

It was just the four of them now.

Max on the ground, weak and pale – his hand broken.

Rafael crying next to him, clutching his brother.

Alec on the floor, crawling towards Magnus.

And Magnus. Magnus was kneeling in front of Asmodeus.

FUCK YOU

YOU DONT GET TO HURT THEM

NO ONE DOES

he would never hurt anyone for his pleasure

he's not a killer

so fuck you

No matter how dark their heart or how awful their soul, Magnus wouldn’t hurt them.

Because that's who he is. He would never hurt someone intentionally

“Because you are not my destiny,” Magnus said and then looked at his family. “They are.”

YES

YES TELL HIM

“It’s so sad. You are so sad,” Alec said from the floor. “You can kill Magnus. You can kill all four of us. But you still wouldn’t win. You would still be the loser.”

“Big loser,” Max yelled.

“Big loser with a bad fashion sense,” Rafael added.

TRUE ASF

NO NO YOU CANT KILL HIM

DONT PLEASE NO

NO

NOT ALEC'S ARROW

NO FUCKING HELL NO

DANI NO

“You keep forgetting. You don’t have a choice,” Asmodeus said. “You are my son. I brought you into this world. You belong to me. Your life. Your magic. Your body. It all belongs to me.”

not how it works

DAVID??

I DONT KNOW I JUST READ THAT HE LOOKED LIKE RAZIEL

DAVID'S DESTINY IS KARMA

“I told you,” David said, his voice a deadly whisper as he stabbed the prince of hell in the chest again – just because he could. “I don’t like shitty fathers.”

OH MY GOD HE-

DAVID MY EVERYTHING

David had been in Edom this entire time.

Asmodeus had been the one to bring his own doom to his own home.

David who was destined to kill Asmodeus had been right here, right under his nose.

It had been Asmodeus’ greed and lust that had been his ultimate undoing. For if he hadn’t kidnapped David to try and hurt Magnus and his family, Asmodeus would still be alive.

Asmodeus stop whimpering in pain. Alec missed the sound already.

His own greed killed him.

Yes

the thing he stands for, it ended up killing him

ALSO THE LAST LINE SAME

I AM ABOUT TO CRY TEARS OF JOY

“Oh god,” Max croaked. “I’m so turned on right now.”

“Shut up, you little shit,” Rafael rolled his eyes fondly.

oh my god

i love this so much

oh my god magnus is the king now

that's so hot

Maybe Alec was a little turned on too.

who wouldn't be

ok but can we talk about how david covered alec with his own body

“Dad!” Rafael screamed in glee, fighting Max to sit down on the throne. “Look! We are royalty now!”

“I was already royalty, you dick,” Max rolled his eyes.

LOOK AT THEM

all the demons bowing to him omg

i love this so much my hands are freezing i cannot type properly

“Should I bow before you?” Alec asked with a grin.

“You can kneel in front of me later,” Magnus grinned back.

“Ewwww!” Max yelled from the throne. “We literally almost just died!”

“All the more reason to appreciate life!” Alec yelled back.

UUHCSUDVHFJI SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE

They had been through so much. The two of them. Their family. Their friends.

Too much.

But they had survived.

All of them.

they are alive and they survived omg

Alec kissed Magnus softly and bumped their foreheads together.

“Baby,” Alec whispered. “Tell me it’s over.”

Alec's eyes were closed. But he felt Magnus smile at him.

The smile that was worth going to hell for – once, twice, and thrice.

And however many more times necessary.

“It’s over.”

NO I AM NOT OK

They did it...

they fucking did it

they are all alive

ALL OF THEM ARE ALIVE

i just changed the song from warriors to a soft song i associate with malec

dani oh my god i dont have words. I loved it all so much especially the battle scenes. Those scenes are my all time favorite from books and you wrote them so well I could feel the adrenalin and excitement. Ily. You're amazing and I kin Max a little too much.

BESTIE I'LL SEE YOU NEXT FRIDAY THEY'RE ALL OK AND HAPPY WHOOP

Thank you so much.

I am the emo-est of emos right now.

Your love and feedback means so much to me. Also, I am so glad you loved the battle scenes. This was my first time writing about them. I love watching/reading about them so it was fun to give this a shot.

I'll see you next week bebe <3

PS - Your live commentary >>>>

[turtletotem]

Adora or Catra!:)

I WILL DO BOTH.

Adora

Why I like them -- She cares so darn much about doing the right thing.

Why I don’t -- Sometimes I want to sit her down and make her watch a powerpoint presentation on Why Catra Is So Mad At You but I don’t dislike her, it’s just frustrating.

Favorite episode (scene if movie) -- Save the Cat

Favorite season/movie -- I mean, it’s got to be Season 5, right?

Favorite line -- “Heyyy Catra!” I love her occasional moments of giving as good as she gets.

Favorite outfit -- anything but that awful jacket -_- Maybe her Princess Prom dress? The “wish” dress was lovely but does feel like a future Adora, not quite the Adora we currently know.

OTP -- Catradora ALL the way.

Brotp -- Adora & Glimmer are so important to me.

Head Canon -- Whether inborn or as a result of her upbringing, Adora is functionally demisexual; it’s Catra or nothing.

Unpopular opinion -- I don’t know how unpopular it is, but I ascribe to the “Adora and Catra are both natural doms” idea. (Not militantly; I’m interested in all interpretations.)

A wish -- Please let her have some time to REST after the series.

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen -- Even though I hate it, I have this weird lurking conviction that it’s Adora’s destiny (for lack of a better word) to die in battle, probably when her body just gets too old to keep up with what She-Ra needs to do.

5 words to best describe them -- loyal, moral, determined, loving, trying

My nickname for them -- Something about the way people say her name (especially Shadow Weaver and Catra) makes it sound more like an endearment than a name sometimes?? So sometimes my weird brain, like, plays with the idea that they’re saying “beloved” instead of “Adora” and that’s become a sort of nickname for her in my head.

CATRA

Why I like them -- Listen, I could write a novel about all my Catra feelings but I will try to sum it up in a sentence: She is so messed up and deserves so much better.

Why I don’t -- She really is freaking mean sometimes. I will never argue she didn’t need redemption.

Favorite episode (scene if movie) -- CORRIDORS.

Favorite season/movie -- Literally all of them, but okay... co-winners are s5 for happiness and growth and s4 for fascinating, heartbreaking downward spiral.

Favorite line -- “I’M SORRY FOR EVERYTHING” but also all iterations of “Hey Adora”

Favorite outfit -- I love the s4 outfit with the black sleeve, but prefer earlier-seasons wilder hairstyles because it’s more her.

OTP -- Catradora all the way

Brotp -- tough to choose between Glimmer and Scorpia. Honestly her friendships with both of those people are SO important to me.

Head Canon -- Catra definitely had dreams about Adora all the time. Some sexy, some not, all heartbreaking.

Unpopular opinion -- She and Adora probably have a much healthier relationship now than they ever would have if Adora had stayed.

A wish -- I like the idea of her and Adora having children and being such better mothers than they had.

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen -- I don’t think Catra would deal well at all with outliving Adora.

5 words to best describe them -- traumatized, sharp, smart, emotional, capable
