#neeeeerds that's who!

[supernoverse-askblog]

Can we get the names of Zoey & Miles' kittens? :o Also any special stories with them that Zoey and Miles may know about? :O (saw someone wonder about the names elsewhere and figured here would be a good place to ask, in case it hadn't been asked yet!)

"Oh, sure! Their names are Darwin, Sawyer, and Mitzi. Mitzi is the youngest."

"Oh, are we talking about the kits? I'm here!"

"Stories, huh? Hmm, where to start... Darwin is always getting up to mischief, so it's hard to just pick one thing. The cutest thing is the little butt wiggle they do before they pounce!"

"It's cute until you're the one getting pounced on. Or you get the teacher knocking on your door holding your little devil by the ear for pouncing on the staff."

"A kitty should know how to pounce!"

"Well, they're definitely good at it. I can't say more excercise would be bad for them though. A kid with that much energy needs like fifty outlets or they're going to cause problems."

"You know, they said they were interested in becoming an Explorer like me the other day. Do you think we could enroll them in the Guild for early training?"

"Oh, boy. Now I can have the Guildmaster knocking on my door holding Darwin by the ear. Well, I wasn't gonna win either way, we might as well enroll them."

A question for Narinder: Who are Daniel and Sofia? Were they real people or did you just name your giant axes? (like a neeeeerd)

Narinder: I... Just named them that way. Look, I was very young at the time when I did this—

[saxandviolins77]

who does prowl hate the most lol

Prowl is a great boss, he doesn't hate anyone but...

Jazz: He's jealous of how easily Jazz navigates through socialization and thinks he's stealing his thunder.

Inferno: Prowl thinks he was at fault for the rift in his friendship with Red Alert (spoiler: Red never liked him).

Hound: Neeeeerd.

Cliffjumper: Eyerolled in his general direction one time.

Grapple: No reason, he just can't stand Grapple and made sure to postpone his reconstruction on Earth for as long as possible.

Scrapper(a Decepticon, finally): He hates Scrapper because he is convinced he forced Prowl(somehow) to have the hots for him. Why else would Prowl be crushing on a Decepticon?

Beachcomber: Beatnik.

Smokescreen: he doesn't trust Smokey AT ALL. He merely tolerates his service to the faction for three reasons: 1. actually does his job (unlike some people cough cough), 2. Bluestreak, 3. makes one hell of a Petrexian cocktail.

Trailbreaker: Coffee breath.

Sunstreaker and Sideswipe (he can't tell the difference): Grown-ass guys who act like teenagers.

Mirage: PRIVILEGE.

Skids: feels mad he doesn't get Skids' intellectual babble. (Translation: Skids makes him feel like a dummy).

Wheeljack: Lawsuit waiting to happen.

Tracks: Friends with Blaster.

Blaster: Blaster.

But he doesn't really treat anyone differently! He's your boss who is also your friend and maybe... Your trustworthy parental figure... No? Ok, just boss-friend then.

(Edit: Prowl doesn't rank his like or dislike of people, that would be unethical of him 😀.)

❝I, ah, am more comfortable with spellcraft!❞ he said as he gulped, unable to tear his eyes away from Yang's large tits, and even more incapable of hiding the scent of his arousal from a freaking dragon! He tried to walk away when suddenly he tripped and fell backward, his coat opening and revealing a throbbing bulge in his pants ❝Uhm, uh, My name is Jax Winterswhat'syours!?❞

Open RP Starter: Dragon Slaying

The bounty hung off the upper corner of the guild hall's job board, fluttering a bit each time the door swung open. It had been there for a few weeks now—over a month, at least!—and still, no one had dared accept it. Of course, one look at the job listing itself told all it needed to:

"WANTED: Adventurer willing and able to hunt down the dragon terrorizing the countryside. Rumored to be Adolescent to Adult, and the cause of at least three of the township pillagings this year. Reward of 10,000 gold upon successful slaying of dragon—proof of kill to be offered prior to acceptance of reward."

Clearly, not a quest for the faint of heart, which was why so many in the guild had ignored it...and why every head in the hall turned as they watched you rip it from the board and walk out to your quest.

Astarion x Wizard! Tav reader

A/N: part 3 of my Astarion with different Tav classes. its magic time baby

summary- 1.1k words, SFW, gn reader

Astarion x Wizard! Tav 

Neeeeerd

No seriously, that's Astarions reaction to you being a wizard. You choose to base your entire life around studying? You two are basically like oil and water in a lot of ways. 

Ok but in all seriousness, Astarion does admire your dedication to your craft. He sees how much work you put into learning new spells and is genuinely excited when you get it right 

It doesn’t mean he’s gonna stop making fun of you though. You're telling him you belong to a SCHOOL of magic??? Need for Academic validation much? Oh and please, if you're gonna wear wizard robes try to make them a little stylish, or he’ll come for your sense of fashion too.

Actually, I bet he’d help you spice up your outfits a little. A thigh slit here, a tasteful gold embroidery there, your not completely beyond hope

Dw tho, you can absolutely get him back. Oh, you need some magical assistance? Maybe help figuring out how a magical item works? Uh oh, looks like the rouge needs the wizard's help after all dontcha astarion? 

It’s definitely the highlight of your day when he has to ask for help. Unfortunately, it goes both ways. His speed and skills have definitely saved your ass in battle before 

Honestly, it’s giving annoyances to lovers. Plus I’m convinced at least 40% of Astarions love language is sass and knife cat energy. 

He enjoys the banter definitely, but it’s never meant to cut too deep. He’s good at reading people, so say you're having trouble learning this one spell and you're starting to get frustrated. He can definitely tell and knows not to make jokes about your magic today. He can’t exactly help, because this man is NOT magically inclined. But he’ll pull you away from the spell scroll long enough for you to take a deep breath and have a break. It helps in its own way because now you can come back to it with a more calm mindset. 

You can’t tell me this man isn’t laughing (a little manically) when you cast fireball. I mean come on that’s one of the most entertaining things he’s seen in 200 years let him have some fun

But also-  

He secretly finds your powers very cool. I mean there’s something beautiful about magic at its core, he can’t help but be just a little entranced. And you’ve definitely used magic to show off to him just a lil (make a rose out of magic blue light or somethin he’ll scoff but find it endearing) 

Honestly, I imagine you two are a slight hoarder couple. I mean you need to have all these ingredients for spells on you, and Astarions a rouge he definitely has like at least 5 knives on him at all times. Also the magic items. You both love to hoard those, just in case they’re useful 

If you actually do have some sort of wizard's tower, layer, study, or something Astarion wants to see it

He’ll make a joking excuse as to why he wants to see your lair. And he’s DEFINITELY gonna grab a random cloak in there and do a bad wizard impersonation 

BUT- 

The real reason he wants to see it is because it’s an integral part of you. It’s basically your home, where you store everything you find valuable, where the pantry is always stocked with the food you like, and where the bed has the exact number of pillows you want it to have. Astarion wants to know these things about you. 

I imagine after you finally defeat the mindflayers and everyone goes off to find their own way (or maybe you all stick together and keep adventuring while also occasionally having individual adventures, who am I to break up your found family) you immediately take Astarion to your tower and start working on methods to help him walk in the sun. magic sunscreen? Enchanted daylight ring? Charmed circlet? You've got options and you're not afraid to use them. Anything to make it so that Astarion doesn’t have to live his life in darkness anymore. You jest and say it would be a true tragedy if you couldn't see his beautiful silver hair kissed by the sunrise, but in reality, you were immediately tearing through every tome you owned looking for a solution. After all, who wouldn't do anything for the man that held their heart? 

Ok now imagine. You and Astarion just completed a mission, saving some people in the grove with Halsin. And you already had received a message from Wyll and Karlach asking for assistance smoking out a group of assasins that had settled in Baldurs gate. But gods you were so tired. It was nearly midnight when you both decided to crash at your liar instead of heading straight to the location Wyll had given you. You were both covered in mud, twigs, and other “gifts of nature” as Astarion had described them in a voice mocking Halsins. You were so tired your eyelids stung, and everything was hazy. You both more or less stumbled into your study, already half asleep. 

Of course, you had become a bit more coherent when you realized that there was only one bed. And two of you. Now this might seem a bit ridiculous to care about things like that considering how close the two of you are and how much you have been through and done together, but now hear me out. This man has spent the last 200 years either not having a bed or being forced to share one. You had both decided he needed some time to just be able to have his own space to sleep, after all, you had all of your lifetime together, and you wanted him to be comfortable, so whenever he had come to your study, he slept on the couch. You had wanted to get him a cot or something of his own at the place, buuut it had kinda slipped your mind entirely. And the couch he slept on was currently covered in about 50 books stacked across the couch, another thing you had forgotten about. Whoops. 

You and Astarion both looked at the pile of books on the couch and then at each other. You felt like you were about to pass out where you stood and he didn't look much better. There was an instant understanding between the both of you, that understanding being “fuck it” as you both collapse onto your bed, neither taking off your filthy armor and robes, simply passing out on the spot.

You awoke to a certain vampires face buried in the crook of your neck, trying to block out the sun now shining in his eyes. Eventually, you both dragged yourself out of the small bed and cleaned yourselves up before heading off to Wyll's location, but after this situation you both unspokenly began to sleep in the same bed alot more often.

Presenting a new Mario AU I've been cooking up,

✨Royal Plumbers✨

A retelling of the Paper Mario games (and more) in which Luigi is a genius, Mario somehow got into the same college off an (American) football scholarship, and they are now...

...broke and still living with their parents. That is, until Mario finds an opportunity that just might change their lives forever. Preview under the cut!

Chapter One Preview: Help Wanted

"I figured out how we can make some money!"

"What, is it raining coins outside?"

Mario's face fell flat at his brother's retort.

"No, I found a job offer!"

Luigi shifted on the couch, intrigued by his brother's claim. Glancing up, he noticed the poster in Mario's hands.

--HELP WANTED--

Plumbers needed at Mushroom Castle!

Will be paid handsomely for your services.

Sincerely,

Princess Toadstool

Luigi's first thought was that this was a fake advertisement, a thought of which he then vocalized to his brother. "Pfft, this is totally real!" was the response he got from Mario. "Besides, even if it is fake, it's a chance to meet the Princess!"

"Alright. Let's assume it's real. We still know nothing about plumbing."

"Oh, please, I took a carpentry class back in college! And you can just whip up a machine to fill in the rest anyways."

"First of all, carpentry and plumbing are two completely separate things," Luigi started on, a little annoyed at his brother's bold statements. "Secondly, I can't just 'whip up a machine.' Crafting an invention takes time, effort, and-"

"NEEEEERD!" Mario teased, much to Luigi's dismay. "C'mon, are you in or not?"

Luigi sighed. Clearly Mario wasn't going to make it far on his own, and he couldn't pass up an opportunity to meet royalty.

"Fine. But first, we're stopping by the hardware store."

"For what?" Mario questioned.

"For supplies, dummy."

Mario rolled his eyes as his brother went to their room to change.

Maybe this will be the start of something new. Something great! Mario thought to himself as he daydreamed of mansions and beautiful women who would shower him with love and affection, until Luigi snapped him back to reality.

"C'mon, are you going or not?" Luigi mocked.

And with a little more fighting and teasing, the brothers sent off for the hardware store.

[mewtwoandme]

Is Blu the smart one? Is he the Donatello who does machines?

Is he smarter than Mewtwo?

Blu is like a mewtwo equivalent to Donnie yeah lol

He's pretty equal in smarts with his uncle, considering he'll learn everything he knows from Mewtwo, but Blu will be more passionate and enthusiastic about his work

*cough, cough* NEEEEERD XD

20 questions for fic writers

Tagged by @aeghina

1. How many works do you have on A03?

14! I only started putting fics on AO3 in October. I used to write fics years ago, some for World of Warcraft and years before that, it was Sailormoon and Utena mostly.

2. What's your total A03 word count?

84,157 Over half of that is my currently-being-updated Fierce Deity Dad fic, haha

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Legend of Zelda stuff right now! AU and Linked Universe stuff mostly.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

1.https://archiveofourown.org/works/51754873 Father of Time 2.https://archiveofourown.org/works/51814240 Defeat or Deity 3.https://archiveofourown.org/works/51902788 The Unbearable Weight of Three Days 4.https://archiveofourown.org/works/52201303 You Want to Talk to Link, Right? 5.https://archiveofourown.org/works/50953486 Hey Link!

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Always, every time. I love engaging with people.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I don't really do angst that much? Maybe "The Silent Realm", a short fic from the point of view of Skyward Sword Link and how he feels about his trips into that space.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

This is harder because I usually end all of my fics on a positive note! My silly fics though, "Hey Link!" and "You Want to Talk to Link, Right?" are probably the best endings. "Father of Time" has pretty happy/comfort type endings for all chapters but it's not finished, as such.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not yet! Please don't take that as a challange.

9. Do you write smut?

Not at all, no. I don't mind a little romance and maybe some implied "behind closed doors" type of stuff but I don't write those sorts of things. Too awkward for it.

10. Do you write crossovers?

Oh, I used to! I haven't recently but I have ideas for some. They may or may not ever see the light of day.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not as far as I know

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

I don't think I'm popular enough for that, haha

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope! Not yet.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

Oh gosh, for the Zelda fandom it's probably Link/Malon for OOT/MM and Link/Zelda for BotW/TotK

15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I think I might finish all the ones I currently. Wait, now I have to check my files. Oh, I did start a "the chain is in Wild's era" fic that probably won't go anywhere so maybe that one.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I like to think that my sentences are clean and easy to understand. I do a lot of editing to make sure I don't sound repetitive. I also output *a lot* of words when I'm in the mood for writing. I think I did 5k one day because I just had to get everything out.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Keeping my tenses straight. Holy shit it drives me crazy

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I try to avoid this because I don't think I'm very good at language building and I don't know enough of any other language to feel like I'm going to do justice to the language in question.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Sailormoon. haha, I'm such a neeeeerd

20. Favorite fic you've ever written?

"Father of Time", my currently running "Fierce Deity gets out of the mask and becomes a father to young Link" fic. I love writing it. I love reading it. It's everything I've wanted in a fic and it's just this huge part of my life right now.

I'm not sure who I would tag back but if anyone else wants to fill it out because they saw it on my dash, let me know so I can read it.

Superman, i guess

Weeks ago i watched the first ep of the new supes cartoon with sibling and her besties, which was fun, but one of them was genuinely shocked at the reveal that hes an alien

And the show got paused cause we were like "what? Thats like, one of the most basic facts about superman?" And she was like "you all know i dont watch superhero movies 🙄"

There was a lot of "MOVIES??? HE IS A COMIC BOOK" and "HES ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS AMERICAN POP CULTURE ICONS OF ALL TIME" around the room and she was like "WHATEVERRRRRR YOU NEEEEERDS"

Show was unpaused, he goes into town and fights people for the first time in his suit, and introduces himself to his friends who do not recognize him. Same friend of sibling is like "what the hell? That's obviously clark kent. He's just not wearing glasses. How are they this oblivious?"

Whole room erupted into chaos

[just-absolutely-super]

I HC that obliviousness is another Hikari male trait.

Haruka and Mayl exchange “Hikari Male oblivious stories”

Yuichiro was definitely oblivious as a teen

I hc him as a major neeeeerd who was more focused on his science books and software engineering than being sociable

Haruka was literally making him meals every day as a way to win him over and he was just like, “Oh wow that’s so nice of you! You’re such a good friend!”

Queue Haruka dying inside

[yaboichroniikhan]

oh to be a bard in game of thrones. I could shitpost so much like- who will fact check me? The golden cloak's? I'll just pay them off or something. The maesters? Neeeeerds. The lords? I'll just tell the little folks lies about how cool they are or something. I would single-handedly cause the 69'th Blackfyre rebellion, aven though there is no Targ bastard around anymore.

one thing that's great about the song of ice and fire books is the way nobody ever knows what the fuck is going on. like somebody in a bar will be like "long live good king renly!" and somebody else will be like "oh he died. like a month ago. yeah lady catelyn stark stabbed him" and somebody else will be like "actually I heard he was stabbed by a shadow his brother fathered on a priestess" and a fourth person will be like "wait didn't renly literally just win the battle of king's landing last week" and then they're all like "well, whatever. long live good king whoever it is now. next round's on me"

what up goofballs and welcome back to “CRK OC’s based off random songs in my playlist” and before i say anything you may have noticed the wheel got a bit thiccer, this is because i’ve upgraded from 8 cherry picked songs to 20 cherry picked songs. my actual playlist has over 120 songs but uh shut up

any the ways, here’s a song from the madness project nexus ost. i was kinda hoping i wouldn’t get this one so early on

pronouns: nobody knows. on social media they list their pronouns as “Who/Cares” so everyone just uses they/them

into the BORING kind of shooting things where they just shoot targets and not people. BOOO what a sucker

bold and outgoing. if you’ve ever heard the phrase “thinking out loud” they do that literally all the time

those shades are not prescription

if you want battle stats first of all you’re a NEEEEERD and second of all, charge/front. they don’t actually shoot they just pistol-whip

[nicoforlifetrue]

Ok, I've got to share this.

Hc that Leo likes chess and his fav opponent is Cassandra.

Like, ok, I've got a lot of hc's here but with how we know he's a really good planner and really fucking smart I can only imagine how understimulated at almost all times he is, as a little kid maybe it was fun to play chess against his brothers and dad but then it got way to easy to predict them so he got bored again, then April was his main opponent but of course she got predictable too, he had some hope for draxum but turns out he's a novice too.

So when Casey enters the picture he doesn't have high hopes for someone to actually stave off the boredom, but then it turns out she's actually kinda good at it?

"I love a game focused on DESTROYING your enemies!"

He actually has a hard time predicting her moves because she's agressive yet strategic with it and her facial expression doesn't change to give away her game like it does with literally everyone else he's played against, and he finds himself plesently surprised when he loses for the first time since he was a little kid.

They have a weekly chess night and Leo takes the "NEEEEERD" barbs with as much grace as he can because who cares if it's nerdy he's not bored out of his skull!

I think when he's on bed rest from his injury's he teaches Casey jr how to play, a bit affronted his own future self didn't. Any student of his had to know how to play chess!

He can't help but be amused that Cj plays chess just like his mother. edit: i made the fic https://archiveofourown.org/works/41301579

Posts that make you google the etymology for your language’s “tomato.”

What is the term in Czech and where does it come from? Rajče is the standard term used here, which is itself a contraction of “Rajské jablko.” (Paradise Apple) Wikipedia uses a source with this interesting map about regional uses of words, suggesting some variation, but most are variations on the same term (which is also what Slovaks call it):

Where does “Paradise Apple” come from? First sources upon googling claimed it was from German, but provided no source - and then all those sources were citing each other, obviously. Thankfully I stumbled on a student’s master’s thesis from 2019 which is about the etymology and use of various vegetables in czech. Link to it here

(I just scrolled down enough to see she uses the same map I posted above and lol. lmao.)

“Paradise Apple” does indeed come from German, though “Paradise” is supposedly less about religious paradise and more about a garden. The interesting part is that it seems originally, this term didn’t refer to tomatoes. Jungmann, who was kinda some important guy i guess, in his dictionary used it to describe fruits including some types of apples, colocynths and pomegranates.

Gradually the meaning shifted (“přenesení slovního významu” if you’re a neeeeerd) to include tomatoes, then tomatoes took over. I’m not interested in those specifics oopsie.

What I do want to say both “pomodoro” and “tomato” have been used here to refer to these terms! “Pomodoro” would be more dated and seems to have existed as an alternative to refer to the plant in the past, while “tomato” is a more modern slang term that’s often used in cooking, usually as an adjective.

I had a hunch so I checked something with the use of Google translate:

Slovak - “paradajka”

Hungarian - “paradicsom”

Slovenian - “paradižnik”

Bosnian - “paradajz”

Croatian - “rajčica”

Serbian - “парадајз” (transcribed as paradajz)

Oh hey! So we figured out what the missing countries use!

Whoever made this map just… didn’t bother putting down the third most common etymology for tomatoes. Probably because we’re Slavic (with the exception of hungary, but tbh they’re basically honorary slavs with how often they get lumped in with us). The west doesn’t really give a shit about anyone east of Germany, so what’s new? Or maybe it ran up against their agenda “dividing Europe into two.”

Hope you had fun reading this! What went from “fun etymology” became a warning about maps imo. If a notable chunk of any map is missing or unlabeled, that’s a perfect time to start asking questions.

haven't posted in a while grrrr

I'll try to post more content here, especially WoF canon related. In the meantime here are two more bust shots for fan ocs.

We have here, Monarch. He is in no way related to the silkwing queen Queen Monarch, and had gotten the name out of sheer coincidence (and from the orange colors of his wings). He is a professor who loves honey

The green/red leafwing is Aglaonema or simply Aglo for short. She is one of the few rare librarians of the Leaf Kingdom, storing books and literature from all over the continent.

They're both neeeeerds (if you don't see their glasses). The silkwing being the mellow geeky type while the leafwing is the straight-A-in-everything-top-of-the-class kid.
