"what could possibly go wrong?"

[doctorwhoisadhd]

okay im thinking about midnight burger <--> doctor who now.

[charlie-artlie]

this happens to me like. every day.

[youngpettyqueen]

who are nightingale and honeyhawk you've mentioned them a few times but I cant actually find anything on them?

that would be because theyre DND OCs of mine! who I post sparingly about because the friends im gonna dm a campaign for with those two in it do follow this account and I dont want to give spoilers

what can I say about them is Nightingale is a Tiefling Life Domain Cleric (he/him) and Honeyhawk is a Dragonborn Death Domain Cleric (she/her) who met and became entangled with each other during a great and devastating war 200 years prior to the start of the campaign. it was a tragedy right from the beginning, they both knew how it would end, and they corrupted and saved each other over and over in a vicious cycle and it wasn't romance but it was love

they were made during my MASH rewatch and im a person who does base some OCs on existing characters I love so like. Nightingale is like a mix between Hawkeye and Father Mulcahy and what would happen if you gave that combination a corruption arc. and Honeyhawk is BJ but infinitely worse and also she has access to necromancy. and together theyre a match made in hell <3

The tragedy of constantly living the “Star Wars would be so good if it wasn’t bad” life

being a star wars fan is so funny because star wars sucks

[nyxire]

ever just thinkg about him. (darkstalker)

[im-not-buying-it-ether]

Oh hey what about a groundhogs day event where the hero has to relive their traumatic “One Bad Day”-esque backstory but it’s another hero they either know really well and the only way to break the loop is letting that horrible event happen

Bc I’m basic my first thought was “Oh, this would absolutely tear up anyone having to walk down crime alley knowing way too well what’s about to happen”

But I’m also obsessed with my blorbo so my other thought was “Omg lol, imagine if one of the adult heroes ended up in Billy’s body just before his parents left to go die on their dig and think maybe they can save their co-worker the tragedy he faced so young only for every attempt they succeed at getting them to stay keep the loop going and they realize they have to let them go and doom this kid all over again. Haha, extra points if the loop actually lasts from that point to them actually dying so they wake up the next day thinking they failed again only for it to be tomorrow and suddenly Uncle E gets the call that his brother and sister in law are dead and then whoever is in Billy’s body is getting thrown out with a suitcase realizing maybe the nightmare is going to last longer.”

And I just had to laugh bc goddamn my brain cant stop with angst

10 Fandoms, 10 Characters, 10 Tags

Thank you so much @idle-brit for tagging me!This was lots of fun :) 💖

My tags: @delyth88, @elymusplant, @galaxythreads, @chemical-processes. No pressure to answer, of course :)

1. Loki (MCU)

As much as I love everyone on this list, there is absolutely no competition for number 1. Loki has been my favourite character of all time for nearly 6 years now (because clearly the best time to join someone's fandom is after they've just been murdered), and is showing absolutely no signs of being replaced anytime soon. I have a Loki blog, for god's sake. The brodinsons are my favourite relationship in any kind of media, ever. I love them so, so much. Loki's a million different things and feelings, all at the same time, all fighting with each other, which makes for a wonderfully complex and nuanced character. Also, he's hilarious. Look at that eye roll. This is a man who hates his life, which makes me feel better about mine. Thanks, Loki.

2. Klaus Hargreeves (The Umbrella Academy)

As will become obvious throughout this list, I love me an emotionally traumatised crazy person. Klaus is that. One of the characters who makes me laugh the most, ever, show-stopping dress sense, and a bucketload of unresolved trauma which goes largely ignored by Klaus, the other characters and the narrative itself? It was love at first sight. Their banter with the other characters, especially Ghost Ben (rip) is one of my favourite aspects of the show. Here's to hoping that Klaus won't be getting the Allison treatment in season 4!

3. Pippa Fitz-Amobi (A Good Girl's Guide to Murder)

I binge-read the entire AGGTM series earlier this year, and instantly fell in love with it. Pip is one of my favourite protagonists ever. Impossibly clever, compassionate, obsessive, badass, and a teensy bit unhinged. What's not to love? I would die for her. I'd say that I'd kill for her, but I think she's got that covered. I think she's written in a very realistic way, firstly as a genius 17 year old girl who doesn't really know what she's getting into, and later as a haunted individual who wants to stop investigating but can't. The way she politely knocks on people's front doors to dig up their traumas, accuse them of murder and all-round ruin their lives is everything to me. She is my blorbo. I am so, so excited for the show to come out, and I'm sure that Emma Myers will do a wonderful job as Pip!

4. Katniss Everdeen (The Hunger Games)

One of the best-written characters, in one of the best-written series ever. Reading from her perspective is such a delight- she's endlessly suspicious of everyone around her, constantly on survival mode, trusting very few people and relying on exactly no one (to begin with, at least). She's a random teenage girl, from the poorest district, and she wins the Hunger Games. She's so mentally unstable that she has to be sedated, and still she's made to be the face of a rebellion. She's rude, and kind of unlikeable. She adopts all the weakest tributes, at risk to herself, knowing that they won't win. She's doomed to fail by the narrative. She's the it girl of 2010s dystopian YA fiction. Jennifer Lawrence is an amazing actress, who does a beautiful job portraying the depth and conflict of Katniss in the films. The themes and social commentary of the Hunger Games is one of its (many) strong points, and I am so so glad that people are talking about it again, because it is my favourite book series out there.

5. Mitchell Pritchett (Modern Family)

I have no idea what to say about this man, I just love him. He just like me fr. What an icon. Impeccable music taste. I've started saying, "no my god" now, and nobody understands what I'm talking about. Even in a sitcom, my favourite is the one with issues that he refuses to talk about or fix. The episode where he's trying to hide that he dressed up as spiderman makes me cry-laugh. Claire's speech at his wedding makes me just cry. He's not a perfect man, but he's certainly better than everyone else.

6. Shin Tsukimi (Your Turn to Die)

My favourite cringefail loser! I said Katniss was doomed by the narrative in a metaphorical way. This idiot is actually doomed.

No but in all seriousness, I do really love him. Before the beginning of the game, he was just a relatively normal young man- but, when confronted with the inevitability of his own death, he made himself into a monster to survive. He has a violent vendetta against the local badass teenage girl, who is traumatised as hell already and does not need Shin chipping in as well, thank you very much. I love his relationship with Kanna, his biological sister; how he uses her, manipulates her, and still cares for her so much that he dies for her with a smile on his face in the Emotion route. Conversely, in the Logic route, his actions are a direct cause of her death, and I just love how much YTTD hates siblings. I hope that his past with Midori is explored more in either a mini-episode or the final part of the game, because I find it sooo interesting. I'm super excited to see whether he actually has no chance of survival, or whether he makes it out, against the odds, on one of the routes. He's a bit useless, so I won't get my hopes up.

7. Rue Bennett (Euphoria)

I think it goes without saying that Euphoria has its issues, lol. Sam Levinson is an idiot. While a lot of the show (especially season 2) feels shallow and like it doesn't care about its characters, Rue's storylines always have heart and depth and I am so invested in her arc. It's no wonder that Zendaya won 2 Emmys for this role, because her acting is phenomenal! Rue feels so real to me, in the way that she's trying so hard to stay sober but she falls down and relapses time and time again. Recovery isn't linear, but she's getting there, and I adore her with all my heart. Her relationships with Lexi, her mother, her sister, and her sponsor, Ali, are my favourites, and the healthiest for her, in my opinion. Her brief friendship/ romance with Jules may have kept her more solidly sober than anything else in the show, but Jules (understandably) cracks under the pressure of Rue's mental health, and can't be there for her. Rue needs to heal for herself, which she appears to be doing at the end of S2.

8. Max Mayfield (Stranger Things)

Duffer brothers, please just let her be happy.

Despite only being introduced in Season 2, Max has, in my opinion, had the best character development out of everyone on the show. Her growth from someone standoffish, rude, and uninterested in the group (maybe I'm being a bit harsh. She was, like, 12) to someone who is willing to risk her life to help her friends and Hawkins means so much to me. The scene in "Dear Billy" (S4, Ep4) where she escapes from Vecna remains my favourite in the whole show and will probably be burned into my brain forever. Her relationships with Lucas and El are very sweet, and some of my favourites in Stranger Things. Her final line in S4, after all her struggles over the season, being that she doesn't want to die literally breaks my heart. I hope she gets some degree of a happy ending in the final season. She was my first profile picture when I joined this hellsite, and I love her a lot.

9. Anne Shirley (Anne of Green Gables)

The shenanigans that this girl gets up to never fail to make me laugh. The bit where she accidentally dyes her hair green and then has to hack it all off makes me feel awful for her, but. it's hilarious. Sorry, Anne. Her friendship with Diana is so sweet but also so funny to me because they really are the most chaotic duo of the 1880s. The scene where Anne accidentally gives her alcohol instead of fruit juice is so mortifying but so, so funny. Amidst all of the insane situations that Anne gets into are a lot of really heartwarming moments and relationships. Matthew and Marilla adopting Anne, even though they wanted a boy, because she's so endearing and alone in the world is probably what made me who I am today. I still haven't gotten around to watching Anne with an E, but I've heard it's amazing. I look forward to watching it when I have the time :).

10. Daphne Blake (Scooby Doo)

My first ever favourite character! Another one who I don't have a tonne to say about. She's an icon, she's a legend, and she is the moment. She has done nothing wrong, ever. She knows martial arts, so watch out.

Honourable mentions: Thor (MCU), Finnick Odair (The Hunger Games), Gretchen Weiners (Mean Girls), Jake Peralta (Brooklyn 99), Maurice Moss (The IT Crowd), The Eleventh Doctor (Doctor Who), James (The End of the F***ing World), Ali Abdul (Squid Game).

If you read all of this then thanks, and have a great day!

[oneknightstand-if]

I just saw the reply post about someone realizing their oc almost being the same as Percy's character which is the newest post as of writing this ask. This is so silly! That and that one anon who eventually posted about their MC who had several similarities with Cassandra. Please I love when these happen, it's just so silly and I can't help but giggle and read like a school girl talking about her crush. I have an OC who has several same points to Gwen and sksksjagdkagldb I am planning on doing a doomed romance with Gwen (if she ends up as the imposter, if not then yay!! Power to the manic pixie dream girl pairing and I'll be dying on that hill). People and their blorbo OCs share them please I'm obsessed 🥺🥺🥹🥹😍😍

Gwen: A star-crossed doomed romance! 😍

Gwen is indeed probably the RO that's the closest match to the general CoG audience with her love of romance of drama.

Otherwise, I did indeed go out of my way for character customization to include some of the same traits & such as the various ROs. Just so the player would never have to suffer from envy for Broderick's pottymouth & wish that their MC could too curse like a sailor.

[dialogueless-duel]

Are you a fan of obscure background characters? or perhaps characters so dead they're only ever mentioned?

do you think your favorite blorbo turned basically oc deserves to win the crown?

even when no one knows what their voice sounds like?

then you are in luck! welcome to

THE DIALOGUELESS DUEL!

Characters from all across your favorite media who have never said a word will come together to battle it out in paired matchups, but you know how this all works already. lets get into the rules.

this is not necessarily for silent protagonists, they can be submitted but this tournament is mainly about the underdogs, the characters you are obsessed with despite having little immediate presence in the story.

we do not know every media ever and as a result cannot check to see if every character is truly dialogueless, we will be taking your word for it

we don't have a set bracket size yet, we'll see how many submissions we get!

submissions also do not have a set end date.

us pollrunners will be very biased, many of our own blorbos have been automatically added into the tournament, our house our rules

please be kind! no /srs death threats or major dunking on other contestants (be nice to us to we have feelings)

as always, submit as many characters as you would like but don't submit the same one multiple times

propaganda is allowed and encouraged! askbox will be open during the duration of the tournament and we will try our best to reblog any propaganda you make on the polls themselves, if making propaganda on your own post make sure to tag us so we see it!

no harry potter or south park please

lastly, we still do not know every media ever so if we end up including a problematic piece of media do be civil about it as we most likely did not know about it

lastly have fun, this is a threat, this is for fun, don't get too serious about it

[writtenonreceipts]

In honor of my birthday I'm sharing some blogs and stories that I love and mean the world to me!

@separatist-apologist

MB's works are always such a delight to read! They hold so much heart and creativity and I've been so grateful for her in the fandom! She is wonderful and supportive and has made tumblr a nicer place to be. Between the elucien and feysand love, the random posts that brighten my day, and everything else--MB, I'm so grateful for you!

>>All of the Girls You Loved Before--This fic was such a delight. I don't even know where to begin. I was obsessed with it from the first few paragraphs and it just turned into something so incredible! There was something so beautiful and unique about this story, I couldn't get enough of it!

>>Neon in the Nighttime--This. This is what fanfic is supposed to be, in my humble opinion, take the blorbos and put them where they certainly do not belong and chaos. Idk man, this one is just so much fun and I LOVE IT. Zombies and drama and the impending doom looming around every corner/chapter. It's such a great story!

>>A Lost Princess of Sunlight--of course I have to gush over this one! You started this as a gift in the acotarexchange, and still just blows my mind you took the effort and time to plan a multi-chapter fic for me/the event. AND ANASTASIA themes no less. I just, ugh. The vibes and the aesthetic are glorious and wonderous and I love how all the plot lines are working together and the certainty of doom and chaos that is bound to erupt. Chefs kiss.

And many more are worth the shoutout, but these three are the first that come to mind. MB is remarkable and we're lucky to have you here!

[merakiui]

!!!! I didn't know you played obey me omg!!! That was like,, My Game for the longest time.

Barbatos my fave ever.... the babygirl.... he makes me ill. I started playing Obey Me (because of barb actually) long before I started Twst and it's what made me like Jade so much 😭 but I did already very much like butler-types. So he was doomed to a life of blorbo even before then.

My friend and I have a running joke actually that Barbatos and Jade are cousins. Because where else would Jade get it from lol

But that's really cool!! Rip Obey Me Original tho . I miss her everyday. They did her dirty with Nightbringer 😔

- :3 anon

Yes!!!! >w< I was obsessed with Obey Me when it was first released. Mammon had me in such a chokehold... ;;;; I can't believe it's been so much time since 2019. Σ(°ロ°)

I really liked Mammon, Satan, and Belphie the most. <3 my beloveds of all time. :D aaaa but now I see the appeal of Barbatos!!! He's really so wonderful. orz orz truly the cutest butler blorbo ever!! >w<

Jade and Barb being cousins omg...... :O they do have their similarities hehe. I wonder if they would try to out-butler the other if they were competing for the same darling. >:D

Aaaaa I haven't played Nightbringer and I don't know much about it, but I hope to finish the main story in Obey Me!!! I'm still very far behind. ;;;

‘“Maybe as the years pass," he [Armand] said, "desire will come again to me. I will know appetite again, even passion. Maybe when we meet in another age, these things will not be abstract and fleeting. I'll speak with a vigor that matches yours, instead of merely reflecting it.’ The way I’ll just be going about my day and all of a sudden someone will hit me with this (it’s you 99% of the time lbr) the second I open this cursed app!!! It fucks me up every single time I swear 🙂‍↕️ to the point of tears some days if I’m feeling a lil blue 🙂‍↕️ the thing is… you know how a lot of the gut wrenching shit Armand says ends up being a self-fulfilling prophecy? (Not even self-fulfilling in some cases, see: what he says to Lestat on TVL re: his fledglings and his journey as a maker becoming a reality for Lestat later on). But this is one of the extremely rare cases when the self fulfilling prophecy does not lead Armand to experiencing the horrors yet again. Because many years down the line, after enduring some more horrors, desire does come to Armand again, he knows appetite, even passion. He’s curious, hungry, positively giddy even. And he does meet Lestat again and for the very first time, Armand’s vigor matches his. And it just wouldn’t have been possible if they hadn’t met when they met, and if Armand hadn’t realized, through his meeting with Lestat, that he could indeed strive for a better, more fulfilling existence. Just an earth shattering, life altering experience 1000/10 no notes xoxo DA 🫡

DA just so you know this is me every time i see you in my ask box no exaggeration:

all the armand scenes in TVL haunt me, like this is how anne decided to flesh out my blorbo and fully introduce him to the world! so beautiful, so ghastly, so doomed.

the thing i love about the lestat/armand dynamic is that armand wants to be him just as much as he covets him. sure, the initial resemblance to marius was part of the allure, but the dynamic is entirely different and that’s what keeps armand in the throes of obsession for over 200 years. and then, THEN- armand not only matches lestat but he surpasses him! in pl, it’s lestat who’s taking inspiration from armand.

Not to care, not to question, not to bother—all this had been part of the old way for me, one of shame and melancholy, an existence in which I assumed completely that we were cursed and the victims of the Blood as surely as mortals thought themselves to be the guilty victims of Original Sin. I had not seen us as worthy of ceremonies. I had not believed in the small coven that Armand had sought to rescue from those ghastly nights when he created the old Night Island for us to gather in the Florida climes. Well, I saw the sense of all this now. I saw its immense value, for the old and the young. ~ Lestat, PL

they’re just so special to me 🤧 i love armand’s arc from being a vampire caution story to being something to emulate. 

[antispopausandstuff]

angella and micah are my t4t queer4queer blorbos in love and doomed by the narrative cuz falling in love with an immortal is never gonna go well for you, but men like micah are nothing if empowered by love and friendship, even in death.

i love people that pine forever.

they found each other when they were young and dumb. they stayed in each other's hearts until the end.

someone ask me to write fics for them, pls, they rot my brain.

never thought i'd be so obsessed with a het-presenting relationship, BUT HERE WE ARE!!!

[lloydfrontera]

Is there any possibility that the readers of the knight of blood and iron would ship og Javier and Tyrant Alicia?

To be honest, as someone who enjoys both Knight/Queen and Doomed guy alive/Corrupted woman, their chemistry and their potential in the og novel is so delicious :P

(Also, I know that tged Javier/Alicia is such a crack ship but lol)

it is a crack ship and yet! you're not the first person to ask me about it! another nonnie had just about the same idea a while ago 🤭

i kinda talked myself into liking it and while i still find a bit farfetched in canon, fanon is a completely different beast. yes i do see the fandom being big on og javier and tyrant alicia.

this is a fandom that most certainly thrives on seeing their blorbo suffer through the Horrors™, they wouldn't be able to resist such an angsty ship.

also i'm obsessed with the dynamic you gave them. corrupted woman trying to destroy everything in her path and man doomed to live though the tragedies. forever locked in battle. unstoppable force meets immovable object. it is very compelling when you put it like that.

the issue would be getting those two to not kill each other on first sight but fandom has concocted weirder premises. they could figure it out.

personally i'm thinking of a twist of the yi city arc from mdzs, with an injured alicia being separated from her troops for some reason and javier helping her without being aware of just who he is taking care of. seeing as we never get confirmation these two even met in person in the novel, we can handwave away javier not recognizing the tyrant queen as him either never seeing a good portrait of the queen or her changing so much in the years after her descend into madness that she looks nothing like what he'd expect of her.

alicia would bristle at the idea of having to relay on a stranger, a vagrant knight at that, for help, her paranoia and distrust not allowing her to accept javier's aid easily, always being on edge waiting for him to stab her in the back. only to slowly realize that no, there's no hidden motive, javier is just,,, like that. to everyone who needs his help. she's not special, she's not important, she's not anyone of interest to him. and he's still helping her because it's the right thing to do. i think that would break through her insanity a little bit, realizing that she's not,,, someone javier would have any interest on betraying because as far as he knows he has nothing to gain from it.

the relief of finally for the first time in years being allowed to lower her guard because there's no threats around her would allow her mind to regain some of the clarity she'd lost in the midst of her feelings of betrayal and pain.

javier treating her like a person would make her be alicia again and not just the tyrant queen.

meanwhile javier is just. really glad there's been no attacks by the queen recently, cause he really doesn't want to let the injured woman he found on the side of the road all by herself again. she's clearly not well and has been hurt a lot in the past and he wants to make sure she's okay before they go separate ways.

and it's nice. to not be so alone. most of the people he helps have homes and families to go back to and he doesn't begrudge them for that but it does make it all the more lonely to constantly move from one place to another, knowing he has nowhere to go back to.

the woman isn't nice, her words are biting and full with suspicions and threats, she won't even tell him her name but when he asked if there was anywhere safe she could go to, friends or family she could turn to for help, her silence spoke for her.

it's selfish of him. but he's glad they get to have one another, if only for a little while. he knows it won't last, the queen or lupellan or another threat will rise up once again and he'll leave to protect the people that need it. but for now. it's nice.

god like i said i will talk myself into liking if i think about it for too long alkshdkhjkdsf
