percy, walking in the door: what smells so good?

annabeth, beaming: i made you every type of blue dessert that i could think of!

percy: oh yeah? what’s the occasion? oh crap, did i forget an anniversary?

annabeth: can’t a wife just bake for her husband?

percy, staring at her:

annabeth, staring at him:

percy, firmly: wise girl, we are not having another baby.

annabeth, frustrated: oh come on percy! why not?

percy: we’ve talked about this. we agreed to be done years ago. we have three, and they’ve destroyed half of our belongings! i mean, sure it would be fun, and i love babies and having kids with you, but we can’t just—

annabeth: if you agree to another baby, i’ll agree to another dog.

percy:

annabeth:

percy: are you bribing me into having a child?

annabeth: of course not! …why? is it working?

percy: of course not! but… keep talking.

annabeth: we can get a brand new little puppy. and you can choose both the breed and the name. maybe you can finally get that shepherd mix you’ve always wanted.

percy, rubbing his beard and thinking:

percy: you know, i’ve heard the transition from 3 to 4 kids is super easy. the little one would probably just fit right in.

annabeth: exactly. and since we’re so busy, my pregnancy will fly by. and the labor will be super fast since it’s my 4th. it’ll all happen in the blink of an eye. we’ll hardly even notice.

percy: true. then the baby and the puppy can just entertain each other.

annabeth: they’ll practically cancel each other out. and this way we’ll have an even number of kids.

percy, pointing at her: good for roller roasters.

annabeth, pointing at him: and family game nights.

I'm sorry for asking too many questions but I really like your takes on Jason both pre/post crisis. So, hypothetically if pre-crisis Jason died like post-crisis Jay and got resurrected how do you think would he react? And if you can create a scenario, how do you think Bruce , Dick and Jason's reunion would play out?

these are some of the loveliest questions i got in a long while, please don't apologise!

an uncharacteristically short answer from me though (so that was a lie)... i think pre-crisis jay would have a much easier time with it because of 1. his awareness of the dichotomy of his identities. 2. his secure attachment style. and he would be able to bury robin without burying himself whole as a result.

i presume it's quite clear that i'm not a proponent of "jason died as robin therefore his identities were forever blended" theory. i very much believe that his identities were always blended.

the above is true for post-crisis jason of course. but as i said many many times, pre-crisis jay is hyper-aware of his secret identity instead. in batman #379, he admits he might be robin more than he is just jason at this point, but he tells natalia "i've been jason my whole life. robin has a lot of catching up to do!" he's very much capable of compartmentalizing. so i think, perhaps, while obviously still tragically traumatised, he would be able to label his death more as a "robin" issue and hence retire as a vigilante, leaving this life behind. in this world, robin might be dead, but jason todd was brought back to life.

this also aligns with the fact that i don't think he would seek revenge on bruce. that's mostly because, again, pre-crisis jay has secure attachment style. he was, of course, undeniably remarkably close with bruce (we get much more insight into their relationship than we ever get with post-crisis jay), and he was distressed when they were separated, but he still felt secure enough to, for example, propose that he will get adopted by nocturna in order to further their investigation. my general point is simply that pre-crisis jason never went to such lengths to look for a parent that would care for him; on the other hand, he once ran away simply because he was displeased with bruce.

so he loves bruce plenty, sure, and we also know that he is afraid of losing him (there's an issue with scarecrow where it's depicted that i can't remember the number of rn unfortunately) but he also always had more of an independent streak. and of course, he's a child, but between him and post-crisis jay, he is more likely to find his feet without bruce. and i suppose, ultimately, if he suffered too much, maybe he would even take a decision to remain separated. i'm thinking of something the white knight ending-esque, wherein at it's indicated that jason went away and lives on his own, probably as a civilian. (before the awful continuation ruined this)

this decision would make sense because at the end of the day, pre-crisis jason understands that there's no way of being a part of this family without becoming entangled in vigilantism. not because bruce wouldn't want that; bruce would love that and even deludes himself a bit that it's possible! but because that means being denied being a part of such a significant chunk of their life. it's a type of isolation one way or another.

and the reunion, if it happened, i think it would be a kind of event wherein you can see that everyone has exhausted themselves with grief, and they don't know if they can find a way to make this love alive again. possibly pre-crisis jason would also develop an anti-vigilante attitude, since he's always been likely to be more critical, and it would show, making his relationship with bruce and dick difficult. unlike post-crisis jason, he's not nearly as emotional, but he can be bitter and passive aggressive. and i think he would. so they would stay in a bit distant, almost estranged relationship. but i think the love would still be there. and they would still try. but with robin actually buried, an unlikely corpse remains between them.

Some part of me wants to go back to doing cartoon caricatures but some other part of me is pretty certain that exaggerating people's faces just isn't going to go over great nowadays

The Weight of The World instance is fucking terrible. why is it so long

I legit turned it off half way through the mech fight like bro this is boring as fuck. PULL LEVER. ATTACK. DODGE, PULL LEVER. ATTACK. DODGE. I’d rather smoke a cigarette and jack off my dude

[silverystormwing]

may I present: height differences being hilarious 

Tel (left) is 6′8, Tariel (right) is 5′3, and even just looking at the blank figures didn’t quite prepare me for how it’d look

yes that is the unamused polo man pose, it fits 

also finally managed to get a sketch where I feel like I managed to capture Tel’s bodytype accurately, so fiddled around with a few more outfits and might’ve... gotten a little carried away.

Hiii I’ve seen a lot of Dean requests so I was hoping maybe you could do hcs with Sam about what he’d be like as your husband

hii!! i was waiting for some sam requests 🥹🫣 thank you for it!! ❤️

he is the sweetest and most loving husband in the world, trust me!!

he would cook for you (always something healthy!!),

lazy mornings with him are the best, just the two of you, he is hugging you tight �� you are just talking about anything and everything, no rush, no monsters to hunt, just time for you two lovebirds,

"i'm so lucky i have you, y/n"

he is still hunting but it's more like a side job, he's mostly doing research for other hunters (and you are helping him like a good wifey you are 😇),

dinner dates!!! and long walks!!!

for some reason i can imagine you to going camping once a year as a anniversary trip,

sam wants kids but it's not something he wants super fast in marriage, let's just enjoy being a married couple without the kids first,

but you have a dog,

READING TOGETHER WHEN IT'S RAINING OUTSIDE 🥺🥺

sam knows how to be romantic but he would choke you if you'll ask him,

The Rescue Bots in canon are a smidge shorter than Bumblebee. They may never have been meant for war (and should stay out of it on principal) but they are a highly competent team deserving of respect. They are technically in the Aligned Universe, but if we'd gotten to see them in main tfp I think it would have been best as a truly neutral party. Rescue Bots are meant to save lives, regardless of faction. Seeing which Decepticons chose to respect that (definitely Dreadwing and maybe Soundwave) and those who chose to exploit it (Megatron) would have led to interesting character development and potential dissension in the ranks. Heck, seeing which Autobots respect the Rescue Bots' position in the conflict and which don't would have made for great character development. Even just their appearance for a few episodes could have had a huge butterfly effect.

I think too much about the rescue bots but in tfp artstyle. About how their optics would look and differ, how the plating interlocks and how Heatwave's little helmet helm would look. Blades's colors. The visors!!! Actually also how the humans would look because i feel like the tfp style for humans would actually kinda work for Cody. .

I wanted to do a little comparison between this two moments.

In the first scene the light is dark: the room is messy, like his thoughts, and he's lost in them.

It's not the first time either we see Colin in bed that way. But contrary to the scene when he's sad for Marina, is not light here. A reflection of his real feelings and inner thoughts. It's not movement there.

In the second he's in the sofa. The first time we saw this she getting out the room and he's dressed, and she's not ready. But here is him who he's not. He's lost in his thoughts again.

But it's a differece, she is moving on, and the light moves with her.

The light it's in the room, because she's.

She wakes him up. Her presence here makes him to get up. Forces him to be in the room with her, even if she doesn't notice the effect. Her words make him present again. He can't be lost in his inner thoughts, because he's not alone anymore.

He can see the light moving away.

So he finds a way to come back to her.

The conflict between witches and fairies (Headcannon)

1. How it started

So, at first it's just pure evolution stuff. Humans evolve from smth like a monkey on the planet to be named Magix in the future, nothing to see here. But the more time passes, the more interesting it gets, because it turns out that these weird human creatures (females mostly, bc magical energy of males goes mostly into additional strength) are capable of either light or dark magic, depending of what emotions they're genetically most likely to express. It's like people are born either right- or left-habded; it's kind of genetical stuff, but you can learn to use your other hand as a leading one if you want, it's just stuff you do with it won't be as good as when you do it with your real leading hand.

But it's not some hand, it's emotions we're talking about. And this is where I'm going to stop for a few moments to explain the differece between positive and negative emotions, and you'll get why the things between the witches and fairies are like that

To begin with, it doesn't work like "joy is a positive emotion and anger is a negative one". It all depends on context. For example, if you feel joy about your friend passing an exam, it's a positive emotion. But if you feel joy while seeing someone bleeding on the floor bc you just stabbed them, then it's negative. Also, if you're angry about someone being unfairly treated, the anger is giving a positive outcome. If you're angry about, say, someone being better than you, the outcome is negative. And yeah, to get a positive outcome you mostly should want smth for someone else, not yourself, otherwise, the outcome is most likely to be negative. Btw, this is part of why you sacrifice yourself to get an Enchantix. And one more thing. The stronger the emotion is, the more powerful outcome you get.

So, as you see, it already leads to the differences between witches and fairies. As time passes, a really long time, the emotions both groups tend to express become basic for them. This leads to forming two different mentalities. Like, witches have less moral standarts, they're more selfish and they'd rather do smth alone than together with someone else (but I'm talking about an average witch, ofc every rule has an exception).

To make it more clear,

Here are 50 shades of grey.

And here're the ranges for a witch and a fairy. Ofc I believe the're individuals who don't fit in this scheme (like, a morally black fairy), but those are super rare cases bc their magic simply won't work well.

Okay, I think you get the picure now XD To sum up one more time, witches and fairies are mentally different.

This difference led to misunderstanding and this is how the confict began. You know, people, especially in ancient/medieval times tend to think that they're the best, and the people who's not like them are wrong. So yeah, we get a conflict, which sometimes turns into a war.

2. How it's going

Now both witches and fairies try to get separated from each other, bc the one of those very few things they have in common is being sick and tired of wars.

As technology developed, two social groups started exploring and populating other planets separately, this is why most of their population are either witches or fairies, so the laws on them are beneficial only to the most represented social group (like, fairies have more rights than witches, if the planed is mostly populated by fairies)

Magix, which is almost equally populated with fairies and witches, is a different story. First governments represented interests of one of these groups, ingnoring the otger one, which led to rebellions and revolutions. Like, one mayor supported fairies, witches didn't like it, so they killed him and elected a new one who supported their interests and who is soon to be banished from Magix by fairies and we finished where we started. It influenced infrostructure of Magix a lot, since witches or fairies (depends on a period of history) were forced out into the suburbs, and now the whole city is a mixture of fairy and witch neighbourhoods. Stuff like that went on and on until some time before the present day (which is the beginning of the book, when the government (you won't believe it guys) decided to treat fairies and witches equally. Is it a good start? Yes, but here's the thing: fairies and witches are not the same. Like, an average witch is more likely to commit a crime than an average fairy (you remember about lower moral standards, right??). So, it would be great to, say, double security in the witch neighbourhoods. But is it an equal treating? Nope. Anyway, the present mayor is relying on his ideals more than on the statistics. (I'm not saying this is a terrible decision, maybe it'll work, who knows).

And ofc the separation of witches and fairies impacts social life in many ways. Like, from the businessman's POV, witches and fairies are two different target audiences, so there're unique clothes shops, cafés/bars, social media (more about social media in here) and stuff like that for each of them (I believe the only shops both social groups attend are tech shops and supermarkets, but still they're not likely to go to the very same shop, since there's commonly one supermarket/tech shop per neighbourhood). The staff that works there is (obviously) from the same social group as the target audience. Btw, some facts: the quality of goods is better in fairy shops, and the staff is treated better, bc of the mentality stuff I already explained :)

And about the society itself... Well, fairies are still treated better. If both fairy and witch apply for a job and the employer doesn't have anything against any of the social groups, the fairy is more likely to get this job, bc a whitch is still more likely to bring trouble. Also, there're no witches in the government, bc, again, according to the statistics, the witches are more likely to do smth for their own benefit, and with the level of tesion between the social groups, who knows what consequences it can lead to. But most of the jobs are taken be fairies and witchs almost equally. Reason? At least half of the fairy/witch neighbourhoods have their own primary/secondary schools, hospitals, shops, etc. and ofc mostly fairies/witches are working there, so the situation is not that bad.

3. How it may be in the future

It was the Trix who showed the danger of this conflict, and both fairies and witches agreed that the tension has to be reduced. So, the government established a project, mostly targeted on kids, teenagers and young adults (as they're more likely to be influenced). The project includes:

• merged classes of colledge and school students

• uniforms for all primary schools, secondary schools and colleges (more about it in here)

• exchange programs between witch and fairy colleges.

• reserved vacancies for representatives of a different social group in schools, hospitals, shops, etc.

• common events (like festvals)

The program is about to start in book 3 or 4 of my fic, so it's not possible to say whether it'll work or not. Now it's meeting resistance of the teenagers and young adults, but maybe it'll work in the very near future...

[hjartasalt]

i thitnk what people are sort of conflating is that yes, not liking or just not listening to rap doesnt make anyone racist, people have different music tastes. like if someone just listens to nightcore or vaporwave, thats not in itself a racist action, at least, i wouldnt think so. judging by what youre saying its more so the act of hating it without even bothering to give it a chance thats racists, right? or would both scenarios be bad?

There is absolutely a world of differece between going "I've tried to get into rap music but couldn't find anything to my liking" and saying "I hate rap music"

[dragongirlbunny]

i think there is probably a disconnect on tumblr conflating "vbnmw" liberals and people saying "dont just stay home and ignore the entire ballot" because like. at this point nobody with an actual conscience is voting for genocide joe. but voting on local proposals, school boards, etc. doesnt require interacting with the presidential ballot at all and will also make a hell of a lot more differece in peoples lives. most small races are determined by narrow margins and showing up to check a box saying "yes, i do think we should impose a 0.01% property tax in order to fund the fire department" is not hard

[sir-arlieosaurus-lung-struggler]

the aromantic is confuesed

☆ Aromantic culture is just genuenly not understanding the difference between romantic relationships and platonic friendships.

☆ Fyi: apologies for the plethora of "like," statments, it just feels more natural for some reason. I expect this to possibly get hated on? I dont know, couldnt care less if it dose tho 🤷🏻‍♂️

☆ Like, I just dont understand the concept of cheating. I get its considered bad. I get why its considered bad as its a breach of trust/boundaries/etc, but i dont understand why people prefer to be monogamous as i genuinely just dont see a difference between friends and romantic partners, I get that there is a difference, i respect that differece where people draw it themselves, I just can't see it.

☆ Like, I see the difference between queerplatonic relashionships & friendship, but I just can't distinguish any other type of relashionship & romance for some reason.

☆ And i just dont get why theres a distinction between monogamy & polyamory either? Like, were people? Why not be open to the possibility of feelings not following the preset mold of a random relashionship Hiarchy? Like ofc you can have your own rules in a relashionship, but I just dont get why monogamy with the 1 perfect "other half of you" is the priority vs fulfillment? Like, I don't expect 1 person to be my "other half" for the rest of my life, nor do I want someone to expect that of me cause that just feels like dumping way to many expectations onto 1 person. And like, you can devide yourself amoung multiple friends why not multiple romantic partners?

☆ And i dont get wanting a lifelong relashionship like that? I mean i do get wantinv 1 but expecting 1 i feel is just throwing alot of expectations on anither person, people change, feelings change, alot changes in life. It reminds me of how people are expected to choose what they want to do for the rest of your life as a teenager.

☆ Why r y'all bringing the government into your relashionship? And why do y'all STRIVE for that? Like, "lets officially legaly combine ourselves into a unit and make it real damn difficult if we end up seperating." Why should having a romantic partner logustically help you in life?? Like "hey, these 2 ppl said i do infront of an officiant, lets see if we can improve theyre taxes." How is they're logistically a "making this relashionship official" outside of- consenting parties deciding they're in a relashionship????

☆ Like, everyone was assigned to make a different venn diagram and label it with arbitrary concepts and they're relation/similarities/lack thereof, and its graded on participation; But everyone still argued over the non answer because they just can't fathom they're being no wrong answer.

☆ This isn't really meant to change anyones mind on romance, do whatever tf you want with your relashionships its your life; This is just me being real fucking confused at why people arbitrarily made these catagories lol.

☆ This was origonally gonna be an ask on an aromantic culture is blog but I quickly realized this was gonna be way too long for that.

☆ I may or may not add more mini rants to this in future reblogs this is just what I could think of as I was writing. Thanks if you actually read all of this

[verlake]

the scene where they ask lestat about being made is so crazy. we have been given absolutely no reason to believe his version of events, and it's clear that claudia doesn't and that louis wants to. then as the camera shifts so he's front on in the frame, and there's a slow push-in on his face as he's talking. this puts us as the audience at the table, between claudia and louis, and we too, must now decide whether we believe him and he can rejoin our little four person family. worse still! is it's a book accurate re-telling, and if you know that, you're complicit. you have that piece of information as you sit there and you can't share it, or use it to make a differece to the outcome. now that shit is professional.

"But admit it, life would be boring without me." (Your choice of Human or Sinner)

@shiningxfates

"You are very egotistical, but you were when you were alive as well." Michael commented, which meant "your words don't surprise me" from the angel. He knows what Alastor wants, his past charge was looking for attention. It's endearing, a little bit, he knows that the demon is struggling with the flicker of memories that Michael just existing causes to stir up. He has questions and the Archangel is refusing to answer them.

"if you force the memories, you'll hurt yourself".

Logically, to make this easier, he knows he should go back to Heaven. At least until Alexandar settles properly in Alastor's mind, but each time that thought flickers through his mind... he kills it just as quickly. Michael never had proper restraint when it came to this particular Charge. It's funny to him, a bit. Alexandar was far from his first Charge, but he was the only one to pull the Archangel in as tightly and as quicly as he did. Grasping at him and refusing to let go. He never broke the rules as hard or as many as he did for Alastor.

Now it seems that continues down here too. Something that he hadn't quite thought was going to happen. Not that he expected at all to find Alexandar down here if he's being honest. He told him to fight when he died, apparently those words really etched themselves onto his soul. Along with the necklace that Michael had given him to protect him.

Had that helped? He hopes so. It would... make him feel, just a little bit, like less of a failure.

A shadow looms over him and Michael picks his gaze up from his book, arching his brows at the Radio Demon that leaned over him with that strange posture he adapted. Hands behind his back, bent at an uncomfortable angle, that wide grin on his face. He can use it to hide as much as he wants, Michael knows him. Now that he knows who he is looking at, all the little expressions make sense. He should know he can't hide from his Guardian Angel.

"You're such a brat." Something else that had not changed since he was alive. "You bought me this book and now you're not even letting me read it." Honestly though, he thinks the book was a joke. It was incredibly repulsive. He's learned how to cook human liver from it, which was definitely not something Michael ever wanted to know. But Alastor bought it so he was determined to make his way through it. Apparently that was now annoying Alastor.

Brat.

Sighing softly he closed the book and sat it down beside him as he reached his hands out toward his Charge. "Come here then, if you want my attention so badly." He doesn't give Alastor further chance to argue against this. Wrapping one arm around his waist and using his other hand to grasp the Radio Demon's wrist, he physically pulled him right into his own lap.

The height differece undoubtly made this quite amusing, as did the look it pulled on the demon's face, but Michael hardly cared. "Stop being so tense, just relax. Tilt your head toward me." Releasing his wrist but keeping the arm locked around his waist, Michael reached up and started gently rubbing the ears on top of his head.

An easy smiled pulled onto his own lips as he pet Alastor, enjoying the way his twitched into the touch. What a ridiculous Radio Demon. "You are right, life was boring without you, by the way."
