Nuh uh

okay it's 4am and ive only been able to sleep for an hour but:

oh not just birds of prey, so so so many animals use stock (sometimes modified!) sounds, especially in games

take this bear recording for example

(especially the first roar)

if you've played as much skyrim as i have you may have just jumped up a little but it's not just skyrim, it's everywhere. for just one example, i remember recognising it in chainsaw man when that anime was first coming out (when they flash back to power's naked and bloody funtimes in the forest)

this is just one example but there are so so many of these

watching movies is so much more fun once your ear is trained to recognize the Wilhelm scream and the Dies Irae

angel and ash (E, 5k) - a good omens fic with words by ineffabildaddy, illustrations by @wasleichtesart, and cover art (above) by @portraitofalonelydyke!

this fic was written and illustrated for the Trans Omens Events Minibang 2024!

When Crowley returns to London after nannying for Warlock, she begins to frequent queer venues using the name Ash, manifesting a deliberately transfeminine form. Feeling more at home in her corporation than she ever has before, she is eager to guard this treasured part of her life from her angelic and demonic counterparts. That is, until one evening, when a friend from the scene “sets her up” with a man known as Angel, whom Crowley immediately identifies as Aziraphale manifesting transmasculine characteristics. For the sake of discretion, they behave as handsome strangers to one another until they are alone at an afterparty later the same night. Crowley and Aziraphale’s attempts at physical intimacy through the ages have always been stilted, awkward and anticlimactic… but in this moment, Crowley is drawn even more strongly to Aziraphale than usual, and Aziraphale feels the same about Crowley. Both beings are truly at one with their own gender presentation and earnestly, amorously fascinated by the presentation of the other as their evening together builds to a tender, breathless climax.

thank you so so much to @voluptatiscausa for being such a wonderful mod for this event, and for cheering me on as i wrote this<3 i'd also like to thank @foolishlovers and @omens-for-ophelia for reading over my work and helping me with my costuming choices<3

You’ve been avoiding my calls and you haven’t stopped by the library in days, mister.

SPOILERS if you haven't seen this week's episode obviously

We start off the episode with this shot of Superman with the drawn on glasses. A good homage to what Lois did in the 1980 Superman II movie...

where she not only drew the glasses but also a full suit and hat on a picture of Superman.

Next we see Jimmy waking up and seeing someone debunking his conspiracy theories on Sub-Diego.

Sub Diego was an actual place in the DC universe before the New 52 reboot. In Aquaman #15 and #16 (2003) , shown here (W: Will Pfeifer, P: Patrick Gleason, I: Christian Alamy, C: Nathan Eyring, L: Jared K. Fletcher for issue 15, Nick Napolitano for issue 16). The underwater city is actually San Diego, but is buried underwater thanks to a tidal wave and makes its first appearance in Aquaman #15 (2003). There was a lot of casualties from this.

When we get to our title its "You Will Believe A Man Can Lie" a reference to the tagline for the 1978 Superman movie.

As seen here on the poster, it says "You'll believe a man can fly".

Next we see our villain, well one of the villains, for the episode, Heatwave.

In the comics Heatwave makes his first appearance in Flash 140 (1963) (cover art by Carmine Infantino, Murphy Anderson, and Ira Schnapp). Heatwave aka Mick Rory is a Flash rogue usually acting as a rival to Captain Cold aka Leonard Snart. In MAwS, their Heatwave shares the same last name and powers, but MAwS Heatwave is gender flipped. You might have seen Heatwave in the CW DC comics shows where he is played by Dominic Purcell in The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow.

Lois, later in the episode, name drops Heatwave's name. Gotta be honest when Heatwave showed up I was like is that Rampage? Cuz the MAwS design looks vaguely like Rampage.

If she does show up in MAwS, I'll talk more about her in another post, but for now, Rampage aka Karen Lou "Kitty" Faulkner, makes her first appearance in Superman #7 (1987) (full page here: W&P: John Byrne, I: Karl Kesel, C: Tom Ziuko, L: John Costanza).

Steve drags Jimmy to film his debunking Flamebird videos and references Starro who I talked about here.

Lois, later runs around with the Daily Planet police scanner trying to catch Superman and the dispatcher reports that a robbery is in progress at McGuinness Luxe Garage.

This is a nice reference to Ed McGuinness who was the artist for Superman, Action Comics, and Superman/Batman in the early 2000s. If you've seen Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, then you'll know the movie takes inspiration from his character designs in the first arc of the Superman/Batman comic series. The Superman/Batman #1 (2003) cover here is done by Ed McGuinness, Dexter Vines, and Dave Stewart. I like Ed McGuinness's pencils, very stylized.

Heatwave name drops Livewire and the Gazzo mod family. Both of whom I've talked about here and here respectively

Heatwave has been running away from Deathstroke here who has been taking our her crew. Notice that Slade Wilson doesn't have the half black half orange helmet yet that almost every Deathstroke depiction always has.

He, Amanda Waller, and the General who I totally think is General Sam Lane, Lois's dad, are fans of DBZ cuz of the scouters they're wearing.

Later in the scene we see the General again he's totally General Sam Lane. I'll talk more about him when we get a double confirmation through a name drop/reveal in a later post calling Amanda Waller, Mandy. What a fucking bold thing to say to Waller! Like damn! power move right there!

Superman and Deathstroke are fighting under a highway and we see the traffic is heading to Bludhaven!

Very good reference to my favorite character in all of pop culture, Dick Grayson aka Nightwing. Nightwing makes Bludhaven his city to protect. The city makes its first appearance in Nightwing #1 (1996) (the panel here - W: Chuck Dixon, P: Scott McDaniel, I: Karl Story, C: Roberta Tewes, L: John Costanza). Fun Bludhaven fact, its crime rate is WORST than Gotham! Also HIGHLY recommend reading the new Nightwing run cuz its fucking amazing! Won a few Eisner Awards (think the Oscars but for comic books) recently and I am not just saying that because I am a Dick Grayson fan.

Near the end of the episode, we see Lois willing to jump off a building to prove that Clark is Superman. A lot of discourse was happening online over this, but I do want to say this is pretty on brand for her to do.

In Superman II, Lois does something similar and Clark saves her. its just in MAwS, Clark flies to save her thus ruining the secret identity, while in Superman II, Clark does save her but he is still able to get away with it thanks to him playing it more subtly.

Don't know why people we're in such a fucking fit over something that Lois has done before.

In the after credits scene, Jimmy, who planned a sasquatch finding adventure with Lois and Clark, but they were dealing with their shit and Jimmy was by himself, decides to do the finding on his own and meets a giant gorilla. In the first episode Jimmy mentions an intelligent gorilla in France and my guess is this is Monsieur Mallah. You can read more about him here.

OKAY. Sits in front of you . So no to me i dont think it veers to close into spoiler territory because it was SO different to what we have now so im okay with sharing :)

So originally this au was actually supposed to just be a personal art project bc when i first started having ideas for it i was having a lot of mento illness bc someone i knew was murdered + i was becoming interested in missing persons cases (kinda as a result? Not really) and i kept seeing all of these different cases where these kids just disappeared and were never seen again and to this day have never been found and it made me really sad like i wanted closure for their families so, as i do, i made a story about getting closure to cope with it

Something really funny about this au is that actually the very early stages of it were canon compliant, but somewhere along the line i changed it to be a mod au, then I changed it again to take place in the south in the 90s, but then i changed it to Missouri (my home state! I’m sure i’ve mentioned it before but Potosi is a real town in Missouri that i’ve visited multiple times and is an area i love, the creek that i mentioned luxu/gloria being dumped in is an actual creek called Breton Creek, here’s a photo of it! (Idk if i’ve mentioned it before, either, but Ira/Bia’s church is the Breton Creek Baptist Church, here’s their facebook page))

Another thing is that i originally didn’t have Ira doing all the silly bullshit that theyre doing now, i think i made an offhand joke about it to matt ONE time and i actually really liked the idea so i made it canon LMFAO, a lot of ira’s character came to me like that, i didnt think of them as being cajun until a bit in

Thats just SOME stuff about it but yeah i’ll bounce off you when you respond so i dont send like a 5+ paragraph essay about my au LMFAO (also the walmart iraced go to is real but i’ve never been to it sadly so thats an iraced landmark me and matt have to make the trek to)

I thought I remembered you saying something about the story originally be made to cope with things! Man, though, that sucks to have to go through; hopefully the story's helped with getting a little bit of closure, at least.

Oh, interesting that it used to be more canon-compliant! What were the original thoughts for how that'd play out? And were the ideas for the modern AU similar to what ended up actually being written or still pretty different?

Haha, characters...really are just like that sometimes. "Wait, that's what we're doing? ...Okay I guess that's what we're doing." Interesting that so much of Ira's character ended up being like that!

[genderlesssinner]

I keep forgetting they're in a temple and I don't know how to feel about it

Marisha having not been present for the Planning because of makeup and then being first while Orym is last in initiative is kind of funny kind of terrifying

Laudna, Chet, Braius, Snowdinus, Ashton, Fearne, Dorian, Gloamglut, Unseelie Emissary, Imogen, Orym

Oo new form of dread hell yes

Ooh yes I do remember the Spooktacular nice nice

Ludinus's notes???

Fucking Travis with the cpop brand. The rocking horse is good too though

Samuel holy shit with the art

Oh shit Laudy get this fucken counterspell please

Power Word spells are fucken nasty man

Travis said if Fearne is stunned their plan is fucked and I'm so curious about what they're trying to do

🤞🤞🤞🤞

YAAASSS

Okay okay okay Ash going for seige damage hell yes

"I can swing my hammer underground, right?" I love him

LET'S FUCKING GOOOO FEARNE

Yet another accidental phrase Matt will never live down. Spreading her legs

Uppies!! 🤣

Whatcha got Dorian

Ooooo force cage okay okay okay

Two witches in a hole and one in a box - Liam 🤣

This dragon mini is too big one wing fucken blocks Marisha's whole face holy fuck

"He doesn't care."

DUSK HUNGER? Did I hear that right? That's a badass name

I'm so curious about Zathuda but also want him far away from the party (or like dead but I'm not sure they can take him rn)

I forgot this fucker has legendaries ugh

Laudna, Chet, Braius, Snowdinus, Ashton, Fearne, Dorian, Gloamglut, Unseelie Emissary, Unseelie Gaurdians, Imogen, Orym, Ira

Hell I forgot to add Zathuda now I'm not sure where he's supposed to be (I never remembered to pay attention enough to when his turn was whoops)

Ooo Imogen on Gloamgut interesting. The vibes.

Combat with this many people is such a pain sometimes and takes so long.. Orym's turn is the end of the first round man. Fuck. Well. Ira actually maybe

I FORGOT THEY BROUGHT IRA FUCK YEAH

Oh shiiitt Zathuda being like "Fuck!" at Ira showing up oooohhhh

"He has advantage against magic because fey."

"Annoying, okay." Mood Marisha.

The forcecage 'if yo know, you know' is one of the few references they make that I don't know and it makes me a lil sad

(about Snowdinus) "He's not even a real wizard." TALIESIN I mean it's true but like damn

(Bonus for Matt's "That's not nice.")

Weird name for a flail, Sam.

Oh shit also totally forgot Ira gets legendaries, fuck yeah

Love a good counterspell train

I love when Tal gets excited about rage effects

"Bold of you to assume you have advantage. Nah you totally can." Maaaatt

Get it Ash fuck yes natty 20

I both love and hate the vague DM comments that has the whole party like wait what what do you mean. "yeah use all your stuff." *panic around the table*

Get fucked Snowdinus, fuck your Dimension Door

This motherfucker 'sploded

The 20s tonight

After this, Braius being like, 'welp my mission is done, Ludinus got exploded. Bye guys good luck' would be hilarious to me

"oops, a murder"

Laudna, Chet, Braius, Snowdinus, Ashton, Fearne, Dorian, Gloamglut, Unseelie Emissary, Unseelie Gaurdians, Imogen, Orym, Ira

YES FEARNE GET IT GIRRRRL Nat 20 for a fucken 33 yessss girrrl

I love Ashley so much "I have a defenses box?"

I would love to see how Zathuda v. Ira showdown would turn out honestly

Okay okay okay Sorrowlord wants to chat

Nat 1 with a -3 goddamn. The latest reaction time

Is this actually gonna fucken work? What's about it happen akdbfjchf

The whole building is about to come down too

Yes talk to the dragon Imogen

Okay but knowing the Fey dragon has a negative wisdom mod could come in handy

Okay baby boy defending the Emissary makes sense I think

Ira no we don't trust you either my guy

Aah his journal and the stuff about the funnel okay okay

Well I don't like the sound of that. Except the uh taking out Ludinus part but um yeah no

WHISPERS!

Yep okay he wants Fearnie to become the vessel for Predathos no thank you

Okay look I'm not saying this is the right line of thinking but I love this whole exchange

"It's a tomorrow problem."

"What if there is no tomorrow?"

"Well then it's not a problem, is it?"

So the Unseelie want to be free of the gods? Am I understanding this right

Seems the Emissary is also disappointed in the Zathuda heir

I do not like the way Zathuda talks about Fearne

I'm not against fighting them right now but Gloamglut at the very least would fuck them up and I don't think we know too much about what Zathuda is capable of and literally nothing about the Emissary or guards.

Yeah I guess the better shot is to let them go I don't know man ugh

Oh shit okay Imogen

Shadow daddy 🤣

New initiative okay

Orym, Zathuda, Emissary, Imogen, Gloamglut, Fearne, Braius, Chet, Ash, Dorian, Ira, Laudna

Okay Emissary out immediately

Aaand the pillar okay well that gives us a bit of a time table eh

The guards are like aw hell no

FEARNE. ASHLEY. AAAAAAAA

Fuck me man. Get out guys.

He really just Fastball Special'd Fearne with thunder wave didn't he

It's bad we're running guys

Motherfucken Nightmare King got spookier damn

Breaking out the big guns okay damn Laudy. Fucking Disintegrate

And empowering it fuuuuccckk

Stress math. It was almost enough

You know. I'm not sure I would have reminded Matt about the wing attack. (I probably would have but like. Sjxbhch)

This damn dragon man.

Love Imogen for throwing the Shadowlord to Braius

The whole thing is coming down

So Gloamglut being the only one to make it away from this (assuming BH kills the Emissary and Zathuda) isn't terrible, I think. But I suppose that depends on how intelligent it is and maybe on the abilities of whoever it goes to.

SAMUEL stop trying to piss off literally all of the gods

I'm here for this but what the hell are you doing Ash. Aaaaah forced movement coolcoolcool

Holy fucking shit

This is what the Tweet was about isn't it

I knew someone would get caught inside fuuuccck

Break time..

WolfChet being a garbage disposal

Whaaaaat the fuuuuccckkk

Let the dice decide, that *always* goes well. Sure.

TRAVIS. You gotta stop with the fake outs man

Though I would be very curious to see what abilities they got from either of these two high ranking Fey

Oooo shit MATT WHAT

ABU?? What the fuck

That fucking smile though holy shit

"We're gonna have words" -Travis

Ashley with the Mister plush in her head is absolutely a mood

What is even happening right now

I'm loving Braius / Sam being singled out so far

Did they just get yoinked by the Arch Heart? And now he's pulling the join me or die, fun stuff

Ooooo heartbeat in the audio nice

I absolutely adore Abu's portrayal of the Arch Heart, gods

Did he yoink them through the Gate????

Yes flatter the god of art, I'm sure that'll go well (this is only sort of sarcastic)

THE TITAN FIRE oh shit

Heeee does not seem happy about the presence of titan powers which uh tracks though

Oh no Ashton baby uhoh

"I feel like I've met you before" UH WELL YOU SEE

This could be such a big info gain opportunity

I really want to know who the other god is who wants to leave exandria

I'm having so much trouble processing all of this right now shit man

UM hi Asmodeus???? Fuuuuck

Okay okay okay wild

So many big high stakes decisions that need to be decided oooooff

✨Flattery✨ 🤣

The star is the woman who made the wish to spread the knowledge of how to build the weapon in Aeor holy shit

Robbie's grabby hands as Abu left though man

"Braius doesn't wake up." this is why you don't fuck with the dm yall, one day it won't be a joke 🤣

Holy fucking shit man.

That ring! Damn.

Since I'm just watching 107, I'll obviously not be watching 108 live tonight which means another weekend of no tumblr until Monday afternoon at least.

See yall again then ♥️

Remember to be kind to one another

[gods-chosen-emperor]

Hah. Why do you ask? You want to qualify?

But no, there is no one in particular.

lemme get this straight. your type is a hot, sexy, smart woman who'll love you unconditionally?

you got this from the new character magazine, right?

[starstuffandalotofcoffee]

I understand obviously why the "um actually tumblr has a long history of silencing minorities, don't you remember the 'russian psyops' " conspiracy theory is coming up again in light of very real discrimination from Tumblr execs and mods, but one does need to recall that in addition to none of the IRA accounts having like, any mutuals they chatted with, and none of them ever breathing a word on another social media platform nor going to the press, the blogs labeled as psyops were notably really fucking clownshoes shit making objectively (and easily) disprovable claims.

Firewood

8.8K | Harry/Draco | M | enemies to lovers, epistolary elements, living together, hurt/comfort, snark and banter, pining, middle aged Drarry.

Opposite theme: Power.

For @sugareey-makes-stuff from the @hp-lawofattraction-fest

And Draco, as if it were no big deal, kneels on the ground with his owl-patterned wool socks and begins unlacing my dragonhide boots, one small loop at a time, before he carefully pulls them off my feet and places them neatly in his shoe cabinet. “What happened to your leg, anyway? Last time I saw you, you were perfectly fine.” “Last time I saw you, if you recall, I was not perfectly fine.” It’s a bit strange seeing Draco like this—in his picturesque townhouse with his buttoned cloak to the hollow of his neck, fitted black trousers, and owl socks. But there’s a whisper of a smile on his face when he raises his eyebrows at me. “My recollection differs from yours, it seems.”

Read on ao3

I have so much to say about this fic, so many amazing people to thank, so if you care to read my quick little diary entry it's below the cut! Otherwise, I hope you enjoy reading the fic. 💜

My, oh my! This fic honestly brings me so much joy. I'm unbelievably excited it's finally published after so much time planning and thinking and writing about it in secret. I haven't posted a drarry fic since Career Fair 2021, and while that fic will always be dear to me, this time around I wanted to write something a bit more soft and warm.

Then, I received the theme from the lovely fest mods, and well, I'm a sucker for a down and out Harry. So here: have some insomnia and therapy and hurt/comfort and pining and middle aged Drarry and everything else that comes with it.

None of this would have been remotely possible without my lovely Ira @wqtson. What a treasure it is to have met you! Thank you for being my right hand through all this.

And to @wecanthavenicethingx for once again being so brilliant and carving out time to read through and beta this fic so close to the deadline. Thank you dearly.

Thanking all the mods for working so hard on this fest and doing an incredible job with the themes and each pair.

@sugareey-makes-stuff I really admire your unbelievable talent. Your prompts were all so incredible, so I hope I did some of it justice for you.

If you haven't seen Sugareey's submission for the opposite theme Weak, please do. Your eyeballs will thank you.

Okay, I think that's me done. Until next time!
