I wish I could write fics, because I DESPERATELY want a fic where like both Bowser and King Boo decide to break in to kidnap Luigi one night, but they accidentally do it the same night.

So Luigi just wakes up to them fighting in his room and he just assumes he's still asleep so he doesn't really react much, because this is the weirdest dream he's ever had.

And then both of them are yelling at Luigi to ask which one he PREFERS kidnapping him, like a competition, and keep being like "WELL MY CASTLE HAS LAVA SO HE CAN BE WARM IN THE CAGE!!!" "HE WILL DECORATE MY MANSION IN THE PAINTING ON THE MANTELPIECE!!!" Etc etc.

And Luigi, assuming he is asleep because this is too weird to be reality, just goes "I don't even WANT-a to know what my subconscious is-a trying to tell me." And lays down to go back to sleep, confounding both Bowser and King Boo.

It would also be hilarious if they both decide to just stay the night, because neither of them want to be the first to leave and let the other one win. And so when Luigi wakes up and they're still there he's like "THAT WASN'T A DREAM???!"

Cue both Bowser and King Boo trying to out-rizz each other to Luigi, like "Do you regularly dream about me?" "CLEARLY HE MEANS ME!"

#Luigi #boouigi #is there a combination of all 3 bc i think it'd be hilarious for Luigi to just be a normal human #and have 2 giant monster king boyfriends #cue mario having an aneurysm #'mario i-a thought you were an ally!'#'MY-A ISSUE IS NOT THEM BEING MEN LUIGI!!'#mario is supportive he's just hella confused he's like bro there are SO MANY other options and you chose the worst 2 #bowuigi #the super mario bros movie #tsmbm #smb #my post #mine #fic #bowser #king boo

dw about it. he's just like that.

og images under cut:

#pokemon #pokeani #ash ketchum #trainer alain #gale shitposting #y'all can tag this as #megabondshipping #if you want. i won't stop you. but this is mostly just a joke about how alan is immediately ride or die the moment he decides he likes you #are you a friend? are you someone he cares about? have you reached social link level 2? alan will now die for you.#no you do not have a say in the matter #i saw this knight shitpost and immediately thought of alan tbh #ash is just the funniest option for the first person because it isn't a season of pokeani if he doesn't die at least five times #if you don't need more than one hand to count his almost deaths or actual deaths it's not pokeani #pikachu is giving ash the stinkeye because he damn well knows that 90% of those almost deaths are ash's fault.#he does not stop running headfirst into danger the moment he thinks someone needs help #pikachu is also giving alan the stinkeye because he knows alan isn't any better and/or is worse #you are both going to get yourselves in trouble for each other and then he has to bail both of you out. you are both giving him more work.#you're both horrible and give him heart attacks every day and he doesn't know why he likes either of you.#(it's because you'll run headfirst into danger for anyone regardless of whether they deserve it or not. and give him heart attacks)#this is pikachu's life this is the life he chose and he just has to deal with it now. alas.#fanart

"potc is a story focused on pirates and from their pov so no surprise that people hate guys like Beckett, Mercer or Norrington"

me: Sunshines, whoah, whoah, stop. If you mean old Norrington (Lawrence) - agree. But Norrie? Jamie?! Just look around, please. So many people love him. It's our guy. Some of us love him as much as we love some pirates (well, he was a pirate too, wasn't he). And for sure there are some pirates we love less than him.

Why is he even compared to Beckett? He's not like Beckett, he's Beckett's opposite (what he proves in the story) and that's one of many reasons why we love him ♥️

#james norrington #sorry but it hurts when Jamie is painted with the same brush as cursed Beckett #like...#Beckett is a Path A #and Jamie is a Path B #they may have similar family background or career path but they NEVER were the same #James chooses things that Beckett would never #in the end (and in other moments) James chooses goodness #he is still a kind soul and still has a heart - Beckett not #James still has many goodness inside #James stayed human and Beckett stopped #James is someone Beckett could have been but well... Beckett chose a very different option #they're not the same #they're two alternatives #two options #two different choices and endings #you end like Beckett or you end like Norrington #yeah sure they both died 😉#but only one of them died as a noble & good and redeemed man #only one of them tried

you make really good points, I think I used the term karmic wrong sorry. I think of it more as not how I personally think he deserved all that happened to him (which thinking back os exactly what karma means, I messed up sorry), but as his fate being directly tied/parallel to anyas. I handnt noticed the toxicity of jimmy and curlys relationship, from the first playthrough I watched and the first interactions I had w fandom I saw so many ppl just. dismiss the terror Anya went through and focus too much on him as the "ultimate victim" and that just didn't sit well w me. I really dislike seeing ppl go "oh well nothing could've been done" I think it's much more complex than that. also I forgot to mention in the last ask that I really appreciate you bringing the point that this game isn't just about the harm of patriarchy but also very very critical to capitalism, I haven't seen too many ppl touch on this. I hadn't thought too deeply about how it makes "he deserved to become disabled as punishment" come up and I agree that's really messed up. I'll try watching a playthrough again with all of this in mind. but either way thanks! I really appreciate your answer 🫶🏼

I guess this is just part of being in a fandom like this. I've noticed a lot of people don't actually see posts outside of their curated view. So some people only get like anya posting or jimmy or curly and it can make it seem like that is what is saturating the conversation.

I mainly just follow the general tags and look for anything new because I'm like obsessed but I know some are only looking for what they want or believe to be the case and can get weird about other ideas.

Sorry if I came off mean its just a last few of the asks have been like circular conversations like this and its not draining per say but seeing all the nuance and details get overlooked to fit a straightforward and basic narrative really sucks cause there's a lot to explore character and theme wise.

#its like idk i feel like im yapping about the same stuff over and over and over again cause people confuse simple on paper with simple in #execution or like without the human factor like idk sometimes to humanzie Anya people dehumanize the other characters to an extent #which is also part of the systemic problem because by dehumanizing people you take away from the awareness like idk the statements #that curly was the captain and just a guy like have to exist together hes like an okay find decent even good captain just not great #hes not exceptional and i think a lot of people are acting like the game said he is when thats just jimmy like Swansea and Anya see that he #just a guy under everything else hence why they dont feed into the vitriol jimmy tries to serve about him crashing the ship and how they #talk to him pre crash even with anya i feel like people are so focused on trying to see what jimmy doesnt that they are adding intention w #where there isnt not even on like she cant be this scale more so you are treating this like everyone in this game is doing some secret gran #gambit when they are just trying to surviv in really back circumstances like having anya respond to jimmys behaviro through the #fawn effect isnt making her a weak depiction its a real response that can coexist with purposeful action because she is clearly scared of #Jimmy even if she hates and thinks he's incompentent like shes not gonna roll over for him but shes gonna be docile in his presence so he #doesnt create a reason in his head to lash out at her like people simply cannot combine concepts to create the complex responses we see in #the game and idkn why its so hard because not every statement contridicts like Jimmy is a monsterous asshole can exist with how #systematic oppression and social enabling create/allow people like him to do their worse cause at the end of the day he chose to do #everything he did despite other options vs the others trying to figure out the best option for all whether that was the best or not like #he dug his own grave vs the others sorta being lined up in front of theirs and shot like this is more interesting to me than him just being #like idk cartoonishly evil and gross and why cant concepts stakes like fitting aspects together is fun its like the worlds shitties puzzle #mouthwashing #mouthwashing game #anon #ask #ur fine anon im just insane and get frustrated easily when i think im explaining something bad

{ OOC } This has been bugging me for a while and so I really just want to rant about it. Since I've seen it far too much lately and I really just think it needs to be addressed.

But... why are there so many haters in the RPC? If you don't like something that someone does with their blog, the unfollow / block button is free to use and costs absolutely nothing but a few clicks and one second of your time. But, no, instead, people feel like they have to dictate what others do with their blog, what they should be posting, how many muses they have, which muses they should be focusing on.

I'm sorry, but if you don't thoroughly check out a blog before following them, not knowing what kind of content you'll get on the dash from that blog, that's on you as a person. You have no right to complain about another person's posts when it's their blog to begin with.

Like ?? Seriously, rules and bios aren't the only thing you should be checking out. Those are important, but seeing the kind of posts a person has also is important. Checking out the writing before you follow is also important !! That's how you get an idea if you really want to follow someone.

But no, apparently people rather would follow and get annoyed when that person posts things they don't 🙄

TL;DR: I'm tired of people dictating / criticizing other people for what they do with their blogs. If you don't like certain posts or only came for a certain type of content, you should've known better before following, don't ever tell anyone what to focus on or what to post. It's rude and unwanted.

#{ you're a sky full of stars. ooc posts }#{ i got reminded of the time that i jokingly put in a poll saying “noo you have too many Rick & Morty OCs” }#{ and someone chose it as an option and i went “fuck you i'm adding Vampire Morty anyway” }#{ and i've seen so many people get anons about what they post }#{ like ugh. people really need to learn to be nicer }#{ like people can do whatever they want with their blogs post whatever and focus on whatever muses they want to }#{ don't like it ? unfollow / block. simple. }#{ stop criticizing others }

I may actually need Pokémon Sleep. These are adorable

#I mean I only really got UNITE for the “Pokémon wearing clothes” stuff #I wouldn’t be surprised if Quaquaval and Meowscarada sleeping in adorable ways inc standing up and lying down tempted me to get Sleep #I’m curious to see how they’d handle Ceruledge #Armarouge has the same sleeping animation as Quaquaval in SV but Ceruledge sleeps standing up #honestly even more interested to see how they’d handle the Future Paradox Pokémon #while I think most have really good sleeping animations anyway I do kinda wish the Neo Swords would rest #I know it’s what the Swords of Justice do anyway so it makes a lot of sense they’d sleep standing up but still #quaquaval #meowscarada #you may notice I specifically list Quaquaval before Meowscarada and there are a few reasons I do this #the main one is just that I chose Quaquaval in Scarlet and Meowscarada in Violet #(yeah the other two aren’t really reasons as to why I do it just additional justification)#also I associate Falcon with Quaquaval and think it’s a cooler alternative for the equally-likely Blaziken as a potential starter for him #while deciding that if Robert didn’t somehow choose Delphox (I guess if the option isn’t available) he’d have a Meowscarada #and then also I have a Quaxly plush and a Sprigatito plush and I got the Spriggie plush about half a year after I got the Quax plush #(here’s me using the nicknames I gave to my in-game starters for my plushies. I also call my Bulbasaur plushie Bulbie)#pokémon sleep #pokémon #anyway clever that Sleep uses their SV sleeping animations for the 1 star sleeping animations #I’ve admittedly only checked these two and in Quaquaval’s case it was an accident bc I was trying to find its HOME image #also Quaquaval being Fighting and Meowscarada being Dark does that mean Sleep only believes in one type per Pokémon #I’ll be honest I think the Alola and Hisui trios are the only ones I would’ve chosen their secondary types for (def Hisui)

wish i could go to college for things im totally interested in but like not smth i want to pursue

like i love film and cinema and symbolism and foreshadowing and what certain colors and angles represent in movies and shows its so goddamn interesting

but going to school for film means going to school For Film

if that makes sense

i dont wann be a film student i just think film is interesting to learn about

i dont wanna pursue film i just want to know every little thing about it

#this is what college should be about imo what happened to that idea #just bc i like a topic doesnt mean i wanna make money off of it for the next 20 years... or ever actually #they really said choose ur favorite subject from school n then spend the rest of your life doing that and hope you chose right #anyway #my major is officially CJ- forensics now (my other college didnt have a forensics option)#so we'll see how that goes #i took a film class when i was in dual enrollment and we talked about like 4 movies but i think about those lessons like twice a week #split diopter shot my beloved

okay i think enough time has passed that i can joke about it

Jason: Your methods are ineffective. If you don't permanently stop criminals they will just continue to hurt people. Bruce: *finds a permanent way to stop people from being violent and uses it on Jason, a dangerous criminal* Jason:

#does dc think the no kill rule is solely about killing and not tied to the ideal of rehibilitation?#like he could have wallowed away but he chose to protect people #because he believes his city can get better #he believes clayface and harvey and selena and harley can get better #he gave dick and jason direction as robin because he saw their talent and potential #he sees what gotham could be and he fights for it #why even bother keeping arkham around if you're just gonna steal away a person chance to get better #espically a person like jason #someone who grew up in a bad home and on the streets and as robin and withe the League #that man's been fighting his whole life because the only other option was to die #you're not just declawing a cat you're not just stealing a person's antonmy you're stealing the defenses of a person with C-PTSD #not to mention that he's using the tools of his most distrubing villians #ivy and pyg and scarecrow and joker alter your brain and chemistry to make you act in the ways they want #and how is that any different from what you've done? how can you be sanctimonious now?#“oh but its evil did” that's ablest nonsense and i don't give a shit #im not asking for wfa fluff i just want consistancy y'know?#leo says shit #jason todd #batman #gotham war #bones' bitching hours

the human au doctors are all ambiguously from Not Great Home Situations but i think twelve specifically was having a terrible time as a foster kid and decided this little gang of weirdos would be his new family

#he’s also faceblind and can’t tell ten and eleven apart if they’re not talking for like. two months.#that’s unrelated it’s just another thing that’s true #they’re the family twelve wants and they’re the family twelve chose. and besides: he brings with him dinosaur facts.#(also this is the point at which nine realizes this is going to keep happening. like okay. ten? that’s one kid he’s taking under his wing.#and fair is fair. as annoying as ten is. as stubborn and rude as he can be. well. mostly that just reminded nine of himself. not a good #thing necessarily. but he needed someone looking after him when he was younger and ten needs him now. okay then.#but then eleven happens and eleven is Not supposed to happen but the other option is to leave him behind living in secret in amy pond’s shed #where he will inevitably be found and sent back somewhere he Does Not Want To Go Or Talk Or Think About. so nine can’t leave him.#ten and eleven might fight like pissy cats but they also huddle together when they fall asleep while nine is watching over them.#so okay then. eleven is coming too.#BUT TWELVE? this is the third time. you can’t have a coincidence three times in a row. and twelve is the one who chases after them. who #chooses them. how is nine supposed to turn him away. plus he’s got a pragmatic streak that is extremely helpful and he fits. you know?#there’s room in their little family for him. and he fits. he belongs. they see him.#so okay then. twelve is coming too.)#human!sibling!doctors au

#it's an old frustration. an old pattern of thought.#i just feel that i have a brain that doesn't hold information. that lacks the discipline to gain knowledge. that is incapable of deeper #thought. and i cant teel you how maddening that is. to sit in a room and listen to other people discuss a paper you read in depth 5 times #like it's the 1st time you ever heard anything about it. how is that possible? how do i work with that? i read and nothing sticks.#nothing stays with me. how??? i was talking to a prof recently who ive heard is hard on her students with disability accommodation. and she #was saying how she doesnt see these things as a disability. how we're just different not disabled. ive heard the phrase differently abled #a lot of times. and i get what she's saying. i do. ad i get why she's hard on them. she wants to push them. but there comes a point where #you are quote unquote differently abled and you run into a wall that other people dont have. then what are you supposed to do? work harder?#but what if that doesn't help? what if that just compounds the hurt that's always been there? what if that leaches away all the wonder? what #then? at what point does a thing become too much of a barrier? i think there's a reason i dont run into many other dyslexic grad student.#everyone has adhd. it's a place where those with adhd prosper. but dyslexia not so much. at least not with the level of hanicap i have #and everyone's really nice. they want to help. but there's nothing anyone can do for me at this stage. it's up to me to compensate for my #leaky head. and i kno im not stupid. ive got a piece of paper stating my iq is above average after correcting for uneven intelligence. but #i dont feel very smart most of the time. i feel more like my uncorrected iq score that comes out at just below average even with me trying #my very best. iq is bullshit but there's something to be said for that gap. im smart if unconstrained by language and time. but were bound #by language and we're bound by time so what am i supposed to do? is there anything i can do? im stuck with this forever. theres no getting #better or making it easier. my brain is wired in a way that gives me the reading skills of a child. forever. and i just have to accept that #and im trying to swallow around that idea easier because the only other option is to choke on it. but maybe i chose the wrong career path.#one of my lab mates said she wants challenges all the time and ive chosen a path that's challenges all the time but im jsut trying to do #what everyone else can without a second thought. it's deeply demoralizing. yet here i am. trying to be easier abt it.#maybe im just nit cut out for this. doing a job im not built for.#unrelated

You're packing to leave your home in the apocalypse and can bring up to three books with you, depending on size/weight. Which books are you grabbing?

#listen it's a hypothetical game I play with myself all the time ok? and I'm curious #I think it started when Dad brought home one of those Bibles that's printed on like a single piece of plastic or something #and you read it with a super strong magnifying glass #and I thought “oh this wouldn't weigh too much I could pack this in any sort of emergency”#and after a few more steps here we are #please tell me your books! reblog or send me an ask and gimme reasons if you want #my options vary because Digger is a go-to but the omnibus is SO heavy it would be like my only book #I SHOULD grab some sort of reference or guide for like...woodland herbs and edibles but I don't own anything like that #and the rule is it has to be within easy reach #off the top of my head we have #1) A Wrinkle in Time #2) The Postman (for the irony and it's actually a cool book)#3) The Silver Chair (for Puddleglum)#other possibilities include Watership Down‚ Pride and Prejudice‚ Murderbot (they're small)‚ whichever Ender book I see first‚#my LOTR omnibus (also heavy)‚ The Blue Sword‚ A Canticle for Leibowitz (also for the irony)‚ the first Discworld book I see‚ The Thief....#yes I'm cheating on my own question lol #really it would be a snap decision based on what I see first. and whatever my choices I would regret the books I didn't grab #(my book sorting system is sketchy at best and I couldn't tell you where a lot of these are shelved)#here lies Phoebe. by some miracle she survived the apocalypse but she chose to feed on words rather than food. thus she is dead.#but she is happy.#(I wrote a few thousand words of a post-apoc story once and yeah the family stayed at their home but their top priority after food was book #they raided the nearby library. these are my priorities)#mine

Oh that was epic!!!

#I liked that ending actually #In fact #I liked book 2 over book 1 #The only complaint I have #Is the way the game considered who your #Main LI was based on if you chose even one #Heart option on certain characters over others #In book 1 #Like after ch 1 of book 2 #It ignored who you chose at the end of book 1 #And meeting up with all the LIs in the early chapters #Slowed the book down #I think we should have met up with our main Li #In ch 1 #Than all the others in ch 2 or 3 #It took too long to gather all of them up #But other than that #I really liked book 2 #I think if you really romanced men #You aren't going to like book 2 as much as book 1 #Book 2 was really for women romancers #For fucking once in a blue moon #Valax's route was *chef's kiss*#And Nia's struggle with her shadow self was amazing #And imtura was bad ass as usual #Tyril and Mal's exchanges were hilarious #I would have liked to have had a smut scene #With Shadow Nia #I think that would have been hot #She would have been rough with mc 🥵

okay but seriously the way everyone always focuses on me finally getting a job as if that's the ultimate end goal of life and there's nothing else that matters at all is making me feel like. if I can't do that. what is left.

like it's.. not that unlikely that no matter how hard I try I'll never be able to work full time (or even part time, who knows at this point honestly), and it makes me feel like - okay so then I just need to stop existing I guess

#I feel so guilty #and lost and useless and trapped #not really because of my life situation (anymore) - I'd be happy with that I think #but it's the constant relentless reminders that actually? I don't really matter. I'm not a real person yet because I don't work so #and especially being seen as a woman.. I know people mean well and want to look out for others but. constantly hearing that if I don't work #I am nothing and I am trapped in this life with my husband and he will definitely 100% abuse me (financially or otherwise) and also he will #leave so essentially I'm fucked #which is just. so awesome to hear. when you just can't do it. I just can't. my options are 1. rely on him or 2. fucking starve I guess #what if that doesn't change and all the work I've done to get better mentally and to figure out what's wrong with my body (still no clue)#wasn't enough?#what if I'll never be able to do it? am I just a worthless stupid woman who somehow chose this and so is responsible for eventually ending #up alone and with no money at all? because that sure is what that always sounds like #fuck I didn't choose any of this #no I definitely don't think things used to be better (at all) but fuck. this really doesn't feel great #anyway I'm a fucking useless waste of space so I guess eventually I will have to deal with that or whatever #personal

i dont knowwwwwwwwwww i just. my thing is that i think the changelings could have an interesting place in the narrative given jims whole conflict is about trying to navigate his place in two worlds neither of which he completely fits in but both of which he needs to be his complete and authentic self. but they shoot themselves in the foot by making strickler the main one and they get sooooo close to doing this with nomura before getting bored and doing it again but worse with strickler. so in my mind i think this is why i was so set on addy being a changeling because i want her to fill that narrative role of someone who's ACTUALLY chill about this dichotomy and who really loves this part of herself without the baggage inherent to nomnoms situation (not acknowledging strickler he did most of that to himself). i just think he needs someone who can show him that its actually genuinely very possible to have both halves of his heart especially post-potion. but man. you cant really get there without dancing around the janus order stuff. and i know if she was real it would just be a cheap lampshade like "welllll shes a polymorph so. no familiar no problem" but that opens up a can of worms that i feel responsible for. and just in general the entire thing has so much baggage. i wish this show was GOOD.

#like i like the concept that the changelings were troll babies tortured with dark magic i think for me it justifies arrghs fondness for her #because hes in an extremely similar situation and i think him watching it happen under his command would be enough for him to say hm. i can #do this anymore goodbye. and i like those kinds of dynamics a lot #so i feel like you can just take that aspect and run with it #instead of the familiars give them some sort or mild innate mental magic? so they can write their identities into peoples lives #so you can still get that sense of like. an invader where its not supposed to be #without having to touch goblin baby kidnapping #'but that ruins the whole plot with claire' idgaf figure it out. i would do somwthing wlse with that anyways #they retroactively imply claires magic is innate later on in wizards anyways #so if youre gonna do that just make her brother also have it in some way which would make him a valuable asset if noticed by someone like #strickler. make it smt with the bridge or some other thing where they neeeeeeeed a magic user and itd be too risky to like. kidnap a studen #so they cant take claire. or nobodys noticed she has powers yet #make it so the baby goes missing and nobody seems to remember him at all EXCEPT claire #bcz strickler mind powers. which tangent but u can also use later for his thing w jims mom #and makes the whole 'we have to erase her memories of him' less convoluted bullshit #anyways back on track. just have the baby at the bridge ceremony for magic power reasons and in the conflict smth grabs him and takes him #thru the portal in the hopes of opening the bridge frm the other side #anyways.tthey had options is all im saying and they chose to do it in the worst way possible #just scrap the janus order im not touching that #it was so fucking pointless anyways. they didnt DO anything not one single thing
