Pepper/Natasha for that who's who ship meme?

Pepper/Nat!!!! Love them!!!!

who’s the werewolf and who’s the hunterPepper’s the werewolf and Natasha’s the hunter. They actually meet while Natasha has a knife to Tony’s throat. Pepper had stared at her for one startled moment before reeling back and then punching Natasha directly in the nose. “She could have killed me while you did that!” Tony whines as she drags him back home. Pepper informs him that he would have been lucky if he had because now she’s going to kill him. Natasha hunts Pepper down because um, fucking ouch, and she was following the treaty!!!! “My pack is small but it’s mine and I’ll shred the treaty to pieces to protect them,” Pepper informs her icily. Natasha finds this very intriguing, because usually it’s only large, established packs that are confident enough to challenge the treaty to protect one of their own. By her count, Pepper has (one-two-three-fo–Four? That one’s small so she’s going with a half) three and a half wolves under her. The one she captured earlier sticks his tongue out at her and then ducks behind the biggest one and Natasha is… charmed, that Pepper’s small pack is so sure of her ability to protect them that they’ll stick their tongues out at her from behind Pepper’s back. “Alright but that one stole an amulet from the Rogers coven,” Natasha says, pointing at the one she’d caught before. Pepper turns slowly and Tony screeches and darts away. Natasha sticks around to study their strange dynamics and then she just… never leaves. She says it’s because someone has to help Pepper pull Tony’s ass out of the fire whenever he missteps but no one is fooled. They can smell Natasha’s scent mingling with Pepper’s.

who’s the mermaid and who’s the fishermanNatasha’s the mermaid and Pepper’s the fisherman yachtswoman. She is quite enjoying her paid year off from work after Tony accidentally blew up her apartment and allowed her use of his yacht while he remodeled it. She lounges on the deck with a margarita, does crossword puzzles, and secretly sneaks work in on her tablet when she knows Tony’s working on her apartment enjoys her free time. The locals have warned her about a vengeful mermaid in these parts but Pepper is not afraid. Mostly because she still has some residual anger about her apartment being blown up and she’s sort of looking for a fight. So she’s not worried when she notices a shadow falling across her that looks like a mess of tentacles. She holds up her finger. “Wait a sec, I’m almost finished.” The mermaid’s tentacles freeze, then slink back awkwardly. Pepper finishes off a scathing email about R&D ignoring the parameters they’d been set and finally looks up, setting her tablet aside for when she gets wi-fi again. “What can I do for you?” The mermaid blinks at her slowly bewildered, then sort of… lifts her hands to mime strangling someone. “Oh. No, I don’t have time for that, thank you. Would you like a margarita?” The mermaid stares at her. Pepper sends Tony a selfie of her and Natasha drinking margaritas in their lounge chairs and captions it “put in a pool.”

who’s the witch and who’s the familiar (AvAc I miss you)Pepper’s the witch and Natasha’s the familiar. It’s the cushiest partnership Natasha’s ever had, because Pepper is so skilled and powerful that she rarely ever needs Natasha’s help. Mostly Natasha gets to lurk behind her threateningly and intimidate the other witches and familiars around when she’s not looking. The only one she doesn’t go out of her way to intimidate is Tony and that’s only because Tony’s familiar, a hummingbird named Jan, had glared at her and hissed, “Don’t tease him! He’s sensitive!” and Natasha would normally tease him anyway but Jan had immediately started dive-bombing her head when she’d considered trying anyway and she’d gotten to watch Tony scold her and make her apologize, so. Like. What is she supposed to do with that. “Listen, we’re only in charge because Tony and Jan are so easily distracted,” Pepper informs Natasha patiently. “They are way more powerful than either of us, they just care more about fashion and robots.” Since Natasha reaps the benefits of this (training robots she enjoys destroying and lovely clothes when she’s in human form), she decides she can get behind being kind to Tony.

who’s the barista and who’s the coffee addictNatasha’s the barista and Pepper is the coffee addict. Natasha is honestly concerned. Pepper always asks for a triple in the dark and drinks it black. And, you know, that’s fine, if that’s what she likes, but she’s been getting one very hour since she walked in and she seems to be looking a little more frantic with each cup. Finally, she absolutely refuses to make Pepper another drink. “Please,” Pepper begs. “Please, if you don’t I’ll lose. Tony’s such a sore winner please I can’t lose to him.” “What the fuck,” Natasha sputters. Apparently Pepper’s friend is across town and they’ve bet each other over who will get the barista to crack over their drinks first. Pepper gets a triple in the dark and Tony doubles the syrup and whipped cream in his drink. “How many has he had?” Natasha asks, raising an eyebrow. “Four,” Pepper admits. “This’ll be his fifth.” This dumbass has had twenty-five pumps of syrup today. At least Natasha can make Pepper’s drink decaf, so she does. Tony’s barista cuts him off on the next drink and Natasha and Pepper swear they can hear the dismayed wailing across town. Natasha makes Pepper one last decaf drink and puts her number on it and after her shift she finds she has a text that says “I’ll spend my winnings on our date

who’s the professor and who’s the TAPepper’s the professor and Natasha’s the TA. Everyone is sure that Pepper is dating Tony and Natasha is dating Bucky and they are absolutely right, because Pepper and Natasha thought that it would make the other jealous enough to finally make a move when they “broke up” but did not get together to run it past each other before they did it. Now everyone is miserable and the double-dates are very strained as they try to figure out how to “break up” without making someone look like an asshole. Finally Pepper bites the bullet and she’s like “You know what! This is fucking stupid! I don’t want to be dating Tony! I want to be dating Natasha!” and Natasha says “Oh thank God” and literally kicks Bucky out of the booth so that Pepper can crawl under the table and take his place. Tony just sits there, bewildered and sort of hurt until Pepper assures him that he was an excellent fake boyfriend and it’s nothing personal.

who’s the knight and who’s the prince(ss)Natasha’s the knight and Pepper’s the princess. Natasha is in love with her from the bottom of her soul and doesn’t mind laying down her life to protect the woman who will be her future queen. So maybe it hurts a little when she watches Pepper getting courted by hopeful princes and kings. But she’s always known that they could never be together, that Pepper would need to marry and have an heir, so she takes what she can get, quiet rides around the lake and lounging in the afternoon sun. Besides, when she chaperones all of Pepper’s courtships, she gets to see firsthand when the man blunders and turns her off. Then one day Prince Anthony Stark shows up with his knight and he strides right up to Pepper and says, “Princess Virginia. If you accept my offer of marriage, I will give you as much power over my kingdom as you wish, let you have a say in court, and let you have twelve percent of my budget each month for anything you desire, no questions asked. I just have one condition.” Pepper looks intrigued, and it would make Natasha upset how ready she looks to agree except she’s also sort of curious. “And what’s the condition?”“After we have an heir, we stop sharing a room and I go back to getting boned by the actual person I love,” Prince Anthony declares, and then yelps when his knight grabs him in a headlock and drags him away, whispering harshly in his ear. Pepper turns and raises her eyebrows at Natasha. Natasha stares back at her for a moment, still a little shocked stupid, before she shrugs and says, “I mean. He’s the first man that hasn’t treated you like an idiot, so.” Pepper thinks about it for a minute longer before shrugging back and returning her attention to Prince Anthony, telling him that she’ll accept his terms as long as she gets to keep her most trusted knight at her side. “I don’t understand why parents are always shocked when their children fall in love with the knights assigned to them,” Tony complains as the blond knight rolls his eyes and sighs in despair. “They’re our constant companions! Who else would we fall in love with? Your knight looks really murderous I’m kinda jealous actually.” “Well, she loves me,” Pepper says, amused, which nearly makes Natasha fall over, and then continues, “And I love her, so,” which definitely makes Natasha fall over.

who’s the teacher and who’s the single parentNatasha’s the teacher and Pepper’s the single parent. At least, Natasha thinks she is. She always comes in for parent-teacher conferences alone, and to student events, and Morgan’s never talked about having a dad. Natasha is considering asking Pepper out for drinks after their next conference when, five minutes after it starts a harried-looking man with scars on the right side of his face stumbles into the room and says, “Sorry I’m late! Traffic was murder. Hi there, I’m Tony, Morgan’s father.” He falls into the chair beside Pepper rather than sit, wincing a little. Natasha feels her heart sink. Oh. So Pepper is married. That’s… that’s a real bummer, to say the least. “Tony,” Pepper says sternly, voice soft. “You’re not supposed to be here.” Natasha whips her head back to look at her, then looks at Tony, scowling. Maybe Tony is abusive. She reaches out to grab her phone to call security. “Please, I’ve missed so much of her life already, Pep, I–” Tony begins helplessly. “Yes, well, you can thank terrorists for that, but you were only just yesterday cleared to leave the hospital. You need to go home. Morgan and I will come visit after I finish meeting with Natasha and then pick her up from dayc–”Tony, who had morosely been standing from his chair, brightens immediately. “Oh! This is the Natasha you’re always gushing about! From how you’ve talked about her, she’d be a great step-mom and–” “I’m sorry we need to leave right now immediately,” Pepper tells Natasha and then lunges from her chair to drag Tony out of the room. Natasha stares after them, bewildered. Come to find out, Pepper and Tony had had a pact that if they were both thirty and single they’d have a child together and co-parent but Tony had been kidnapped my terrorists a year ago and had been in the hospital for the last six months recovering from the torture he’d endured. He suffered a TBI that made him lose whatever filter on his mouth he’d had before (which, Pepper had admitted, was not even a very good filter at all). On one hand, it’s sort of embarrassing when Tony blurts things out, but on the other, he’s also the one that gets Natasha to take the chance and ask Pepper out, so she learns how to deal with it just like Pepper and Morgan had. She’s even down with the other half of their pact where they have a second child child at thirty-four, because she’s always wanted children but it was never in the cards for her, and Morgan is a little delight. She’s had weirder relationships, and she’s miraculously not threatened by Tony at all, who literally just “wants what’s best for his best girls,” the sap.

who’s the writer and who’s the editorNatasha’s the writer and Pepper’s the editor. They are also married and Pepper has no idea she’s editing her wife’s books until finally she’s looking over the final copy of the last in the series and the dedication says, To Pepper, without whom this wouldn’t be possible, and who also has not put together that the main character’s girlfriend is based on her. Pepper is offended but mostly because she has not been able to celebrate her wife’s successes with her because Natasha has just been waiting and waiting for her to realize and she eventually got into a running bet with Clint and Tony about it. (Tony won the bet because he knows that Pepper’s a useless lesbian and would never realize without being explicitly told and he spends his winnings on going to a spa because even married their relationship stresses him out.)

Miraculous Ask Meme, 4, 20, and 25?

Hmm, well I can say I didn’t think someone would ask three questions at once.

Do you ship any rare pairs?

Whose costume would you redesign?

Macarons or camembert?

So, here’s my long overdue response.

 :D I took that triple as a challenge and I regret myself. I’ll just answer multi numbers normally now, oof.

On my laptop? YES! I’m actually almost faster one handed on my laptop but on my phone?? I’m HOPELESS one handed. Half the time I drop my phone!!

[lovesquareshippingtrash]

Alright so I just scrolled through your whole blog (I love it btw) but like, what's your favorite side of the love square and why?

Ahh! Thank you! :D

Boy, that feels like it can be a dangerous question around here! ^_^’ Let’s preface this by saying, as the blog name hopefully suggests, I love the whole love square. When the four ships become one and these two precious idiots truly know each other, the story of their love will be the stuff of legend.

Buuuut... the bulk of the blog’s content, and the icon, do not mislead... I’m all about Adrienette. In fact, my order of preference is alphabetical, which is convenient for tagging :P Adrienette, Ladrien, Ladynoir, Marichat.

Part of it stems from the moment I fell in love with both Marinette, the love square, and the show. I watched the earliest episodes on Netflix, and they had The Bubbler up first (which I also think is the best episode with which to introduce people. And Marinette, that ANGEL, didn’t care about receiving Adrien’s praise and appreciation herself. She saw that him believing her gift came from his father made him so happy, and she was more than content to leave that be, instead of trying to get his attention herself.

I have a tendency to ship whatever the lead characters want - provided I actually like the lead. I’m all about canon ships. In ATLA I ship Kataang; in Digimon 02 I shipped Daikari, because Davis was my BOY and I wanted him to be happy; in Harry Potter, I wrote a letter to JK Rowling after OotP came out asking her to please get Harry and Cho back together. But then Half-Blood Prince came out and it was all about Harry & Ginny (in my defence, that was the height of my teen angst).

So in Miraculous, we mostly follow Marinette, and Adrien’s perspective is secondary to that. Also, Marinette is the most adorable and the most precious and she deserves whatever she wants. And she wants Adrien, so that’s what she gets.

I’d also argue it’s the side that gets the most development. True, Adrien and Marinette may hardly interact in an episode, or not at all, while Ladybug & Cat Noir always interact, but their interactions are often more focused on the fight, with maybe a few flirty lines here and there...

Whereas Adrienette is so prominent in so many episodes - Gamer, Kung Food, Horrificator, Befana, Gorizilla, Frozer - and has such major moments. Everybody is all about the Umbrella Scene, the Dance Scene, the Locker Scene.

And frankly, Adrien “Just a friend” Agreste is clearly in denial.

I enjoy Ladrien for it being the side where both of them know they like the other, and for the blushes, and for their adorable moments together. Simon Says, Gorizilla.

Ladynoir I don’t mind too much, but Cat Noir just needs to lighten up, tone it down, take no for an answer... but they have some great bonding moments together.

I just don’t get Marichat. In the same way I like what the characters like, I just can’t get into it if the characters aren’t interested. They can have some fun moments as friends, but I can’t picture them just hanging out. That may be in part because I’m relatively new to the fandom. I started watching the show in January, a little way into season 2. I didn’t go through the drought between seasons 1 and 2, I didn’t have time to delve into the fandom that way. I had a short wait for Glaciator and the Balcony Scene, which showed them somewhat miserably commiserating together.

As part of the full love square, though, and for it supporting other sides, I am totally into Marinette realising she has feelings for Cat Noir, and Adrien for Marinette. They’re almost certainly both denying their feelings as it is because of their feelings for the other side, but I don’t think they will be ready to be a couple until they are ready to admit to themselves that they have feelings for both sides of the other.

Just give me more of these two falling in true love, give me the next step XD

Hello! Just popping in to say your costume analysis posts are amazing and incredibly useful, both as a fanfic writer and an amateur artist. I love fashion, and to see a good breakdown with characters that I adore is absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much!

Why thank you! They were a blast to do. I still would like to do more MCU characters but just haven’t had time, although I’ve started putting together notes for Bucky. Hopefully it will come together sometime in the near future, since I love how much people have been enjoying them. :3

[zelink-af]

I was looking through the breath of the wild tag so tumblr started reccing me blogs and I liked your blog at a glance so I followed and I'm glad I did, your blog is awesome

Ahh! Thank you! I’m glad you decided to grab a slice of that Wild Boy™ with me! 😄😊💕

lets talk abt architecture in worldbuilding: a hopefully helpful post

PS: this is the first “tips” post i ever made, so sorry if it’s confusing/not really that heplful!! if you have questions, please know that my ask box is always open!!!

i’ve seen posts abt worldbuilding giving tips on how to worldbuild everything: From religions to magic systems to languages, but i’ve never seen anyone talk abt architecture. so here i am, trying to do it:

the only thing you need to keep in mind: architecture is directly related to your world’s culture

you can’t tak abt greece without talking abt the temples. you can’t talk abt people from egypt without talking abt the pyramids. god, you can’t talk abt the the way people lived their lives without somehow talking abt where they live. 

if you tell me that your society that depends on the sea and it doesn’t has ocean symbology on their buildings, houses, and possibly temples, im going to laugh at your face. if you tell me that your society is a war centric one, but you don’t translate it by having your “war schools” being the biggest/most important buildings, that’s stupid. maybe your society is very into politics, so tell me, where do they together to discuss and participate in it? you get the point: just like everything in your setting, your architecture will be related to where your society is from, the philosophic believes they have, and mostly their routine. 

things to keep in mind when worldbuilding your architecture

what is climate?

This is pretty simple, hotter climates: More open floorplans, bigger windows, if your society has the technology, probably a lot of “men-made” lakes near buildings to help cool down. colder climates: Closed off floorplans, probably chimneys bc of fireplaces, pointy roofs so that snow can just fuck off easily. maybe they would cover the houses with plants and dirt to keep the heat in.

How are family composed?

 are the concept of family not a thing? Or is it different? Maybe a family is only those who are related by blood, or maybe a family is a couple, their 14 children, the ten children they decided to adopt and also their thirty slaves. You do you.

In some of the first things we consider actual cities, the houses rooftops were used has streets, and every few meters there were an opening for the actual houses: a tiny square where the people lived, with two or three rooms attached, since family wasn’t really a thing. If you look at greek/roman houses, they had two stories, and multiple rooms, bc the families were a thing, and they were very big. also, slaves were kept in the houses, so they needed space too. 

What abt your world’s religion?

Surely, if they are totally religious, they might want to build a shrine in their home. and while in the religious aspect, how are their temples? Or more important, how are their gods? do they like gifts, sacrifices? do they live in between the people, in a high mount somewhere or maybe underground?

You know, greek temples were build in the highest mount of the city. Pyramids were, ya know, pyramids bc they were supposed to guide the pharaoh's soul up, and some were also thought to be useful for the pharaoh to use as steps to “climb up to heaven”. Like I said, Catholic churches were build so tall and extra so that when you, a dying peasant walked in, all you could think was “there’s no way this was made without the help of a higher power, so God must be real!”, “the stone books men build”, i believe is something Victor Hugo said abt religious buildings.

Don’t forget the government!

If you have a monarchy, a diarchy, a democracy, an authoritarian government, or any type of government really, they most likely show their power and stance through architecture. the simple and perfectionist neoclassism was bc people hated rococo’s extravaganza and all it represented. Barroque happened bc Luthero was being a lil dick to the church and the church wanted to show who was the boss.

 If we look at the White House, we could maybe say that the US is a tradicional country, while when we look at Germany’s parliament building, we could say that, after Hitler’s government, they have been trying to be open to their citizens.

Fun fact: The biggest architectural booms happen right after big government wins or loses. The biggest greek temples were built after they won battles, brazil had to go back to being a democracy so that we would have the perfection that is brasilia, and so on 

How is your world’s economic situation?

“Architecture is the autobiography of the economic system and of the social institutions”, said my good ol’ pal Bruno Zevi, a v important italian architect. So, is your country filthy rich and do they use this money wisely? Are the noble withholding everything or do they actually use it for the population? 

How does magic adds in this?

what is your magic system? maybe is blood based, and most people have a small pen with animals to use magic at any given moment (put an inside patio in the house). maybe is like, a language based one (they should probably have a place to learn the magic language. maybe an office like area is necessary for all those wanting to learn magic?).

also! keep in mind that humans (and probably whatever species you are writing abt) are very much mimetic creatures: we mimic things that are around us, especially in art, so things like plants, animals, skies, the fashion of your world, all would probably end up being mixed in your architecture too!

Another thing: always research real life architectural styles. maybe your church is very powerful, so go ahead and take inspo from the gothic or barroque periods’ churches. maybe your nobility is losing money but they need to pretend everything is fine, so go ahead and take inspo in rococo. or maybe everyone wants to destroy a shameful past? futurism is a very good place to start! 

also, tl;dr: have most of your worldbuilding ready, then throw it all in the walls of your houses and palaces and jails, and there you have it: your world’s architecture

Grade on Sex Pollen or adjacent Fuck or Die tropes?

A. I wouldn't say I'm proud but I'm such a sucker for it for so many reasons. some of which is just that I find it sexy but also, I mean, I just generally enjoy roping characters into situations they'd (probably) rather not be in. and sometimes those situations are sexual which can add extra crunch regardless of what the state of the relationship is, and again like truth serum it's...

unwilling vulnerability is a kink I guess

I APOLOGIZE FOR MURDERING YOU although I have to admit the trident thing was pretty cool especially since that’s one of my school’s symbols

[wreckitremy]

@shiny-aesthetic @my-fanaticdomain thank you so much for your thoughts. I do like the aesthetic of those ones quite a bit, so it's top of the list, i think. I'll give it some time to think and for any other possible opinions to weigh in, but probably those will be it.

Every time I have to buy new shoes I remember all of the reasons I hate buying new shoes
