Ehhh fuck it I'll post this one too -- I wanted to color it first, but. I'm actually split on redoing Alfonse's outfit completely, or at least making adjustments.

Like, in my head, I think I was doing two separate things between the Askr siblings and it just doesn't feel cohesive to me now.

What, you ask? Well, the first thought behind this, was this is a visit. So, Sharena is straight up wearing Moe's old clothes it never could seem to let go of. I think I got mixed up around Alfonse, though. Literally half and half. He's wearing some of Moe's clothes (esp the flannel, green, band merch), but the idea here is they did have to go out and get stuff that actually fits right.

Which... works. It does work. But I think in the back of my head I was also wanting to design an outfit that's more AU coded. Going from argyle sweater vest ass to mmmmaybe trying to develop his own sense of style. Which kind of directly clashes w the idea that he's wearing some of Moe's clothes. But also. So. SO BADLY. ESP IN THIS CONTEXT. I would LOVE for Moe to have direct influence in the process of that. Another detail you don't even get to see here is Alfonse is wearing a studded belt. Courtesy of Moe.

Lack of direction too many ideas at once. Maybe if it's an AU, the dress could have been a hand-me-down? If you like it, and it fits. You can have it. If you want... (Moe completely dodging just how deeply meaningful this gesture is when doing this). But also, could go REALLY crazy if Moe (previous life) had fashion taste that was close enough to Sharena's that, like. At different points of time, each ended up picking out the same dress. It's such a funny line to balance, actually. Because despite all the parallels I may draw between them, Moe was NEVER what Peony was, to Sharena. Not even close.

Idk idk there's a possibility that I'll get too frustrated w all the details not matching up here that I scrap it completely. Just know that the dress Sharena is wearing is pink and white. Very Princess Peach core. The style of it, though... it's pretty close to something else... a certain Something Else... just enough to scare ya. Which is ALSO WHY this might work better as a visit and unique psychological damage for Alfonse but I DIGRESS. WHAT YHE FUCK EVER. TOO MUCH GOING ON HERE JUST THROW IT ALL OUT‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Im so sorry but is Al's hair naturally black or pink?? I feel like the obvious answer is black but if I remember correctly (again, could be wrong) when jackie drew his dilfy designs his roots were pink. I just dont wanna assume error 🙏

The psychic damage I am taking from these questions is immeasurable and we're going to hit a point where I'm either going to just not answer certain things or I'll end up imploding. 😂

In the beginning...I just wanted a pink haired fuckin guy. I was using anime logic. His hair was pink. There was no thought beyond that because he's a two-dimensional fictional lad. It simply was.

Then came the questions. God. The questions.

Does he dye his hair? Why are his eyebrows black? Is his natural hair color black?

Those were dark times.

BitterSweet Chapter 3 created an opportunity for Dark Mode Alphonse, and we established that yes.....his natural hair color is black.

Today I was asked the pedantic question about Al's body hair...which just about took me out, but we made it through.

Now this.

Bubba his hair looks that way because I thought it fuckin looked cool. The rules of real hair, what his natural hair color is, and any other such business can suck my cock. He is a 2D dilf designed to look as fuckable as possible...why in the name of GOD are we worrying about his natural hair color?

Mind you, we have canonically seen black haired childhood Alphonse in photos twice. Two different pictures, even! 😂

Is there some boogeyman out there heckling people for being "wrong" about things like natural hair color? Is someone wagging their finger or being a shit about accuracy in depictions in fanart or something? Because it sure as hell is not me, and it shouldn't be anyone at all because none of that shit actually matters.

Yes his natural hair color is black. He's got pink highlights I guess? It looks cool, so that's why it is what it is.

I think there is a fundamental difference in the way I personally engage with shit that I like, because I cannot comprehend or envision a world where I would ever approach the creator of a thing to ask a question like this, or would even wonder about those details because they are so miniscule a thing to ponder when you could be spending time considering, imagining, creating a million other things that are vastly more exciting and intriguing than being correct about a fictional character's natural hair color.

I'm not upset with you, or angry, none of that. I'm befuddled. Absolutely bumfizzled. Questioning my sanity, because I am so far removed from caring about this sort of thing in regards to fictional characters that the rift is unfathomable.

If questions like these are inspired by an anxiety about being correct, I implore you to be wrong more often. You'll quickly find that no one of import is actually going to care, and you'll get out of the way of your own enjoyment of the thing. I don't know if there's some sort of widely held opinion in fandoms that being this granular is necessary, but it certainly is not the vibe in this neck of the woods.

This has been a long and unexpected installment of Old Man Yells At Cloud. 😂

[deepdrownlamentt]

hello hi beloved love of my life im sorry (im not sorry) for contributing to your masterlist turning into an alcohol menu but hear me out, tequila and phantom/specter/lumen (your horny your call whichever is the most pathetic and subsequently funniest) being jealous

the catch is that the thing that they're jealous over is so TRIVIAL like a new otome game? your pet??? your mom??????? theyre a wet sopping mess and im here for it

↬ courier, specter, and tequila jealousy hcs

content warnings: none

note: the emojis are actually dealing me psychic damage but i like writing dumb things so i will oblige........ sorry for the delay i am being slaughtered out here!!!!! get me out of uni!!!!!! i just want to vibe in peace!!!!!!

i think tequila May be a liiiiiittle ooc since i haven't . looked at his voicelines in a million years . and mine is trust 0 . but anyways i hope u enjoy !!!! xoxo etc

↬ COURIER doesn't think of himself as the type of partner that needs to constantly hog your attention, nor does he think himself so busy that he would leave you wanting. there's a certain balance to it, that much he's sure of — but he can't quite help but be disappointed if he finds something else occupying your mind when he finally has the time to hang up his coat freely and spend it with you.

↬not that he's quick to show it on his face, though. he's long since felt comfortable enough with you to drop any pretense of a fake, customer-service smile in your presence, after all. even then, it's very much clear from his raised eyebrows and confused blinks that he's rather surprised. or confused.

↬ perhaps he's gotten just a little spoiled by you — to the point that going for how many minutes without hearing the padding of your footsteps as you come over to greet him leaves him feeling a little odd. maybe you were busy! he rationalises to himself. maybe you got called away for a last minute meeting, and he just missed you on your way out—

↬ that is, until he hears the telltale little sound effects from a game on your phone you've told him about lately, and lo and behold, and his chest does a weird thing where it flutters and sinks all at once. on the one hand, he's glad it's just a game that's stolen your attention. on the other hand... it's just a game? he won't say anything, but if you notice anything for the next few days — going on more missions with you, or cooking you even more of your favourite foods than usual — then maybe the discreet little glances he spares your phone, making sure it's silent and face-down on the table, have something to do with it.

↬ it's rather preposterous to think that LAURENTINA would "stoop to so low a level," she says, that she would get jealous of something so minor. rather, she enjoys monopolising your attention, you see — and for your little predicament to steal your gaze away from her, well... that won't do, won't it?

↬ she teases you much more often, especially when she finds out what exactly it is that's distracting you lately: lingering touches on your shoulder or waist, sickly sweet calls of your name, or even her plucking your phone out of your hands with a sly little shark-toothed smile.

↬ if she really feels up to it, she might tease you more about your little distraction, too: oh? you want my attention, dear? i thought that little game of yours enraptured you much more. she loves watching the way you squirm, hearing how you hem and haw as you think of a response.

↬ of course, while she acts like she's above jealousy, she can still feel it simmering a little just under her skin — it's why her little teasing prods at you have become more frequent, though there's never any real ill intent behind any of them, and she's very intent on making sure you don't misinterpret her intentions. after all, she wants you to see what you're missing out on, not drive you away entirely!

↬ much like specter, TEQUILA claims that being jealous is "silly" — though it doesn't stop the exaggerrated way he pouts when your gaze is drawn elsewhere... at your phone, specifically. he doesn't seem the type to take it too personally, but as he jokes about oh, i didn't know your game was more distracting than me, there's a part of him that wonders what it would take to take your attention off of it entirely.

↬ there's a chance he might ask you on more dates than usual — even if it's something as simple as a late-night walk together, or chatting at the bar as rafaela prepares you drinks. there's also a chance he might be a little more physically affectionate than usual: his hand around your waist as you walk, resting his chin on your shoulder from behind as he watches whatever it is you're doing at the moment.

↬ in the end, though, the part of him that thought all of this was silly wins by the smallest, smallest margin; he might even ask you about it directly, if he gets the chance. and if you decide to gush about it, he listens with rapt attention — if you have a good time with it, then he's happy that you're happy, or something along those lines.

↬ but just for his sake, to appease the part of him that wanted to steal your attention back, it may be worth it to reassure (or maybe even tease) him a little in turn. just for the hint of satisfaction he might get for winning over pixels.

Hypothetical Portal 3

I'm writing this down mostly just to say that I DID, it's an idea that's been floating around in my head for a while so I'm gonna try to outline it.

Story

Game begins immediately after Portal 2 ends, Chell is wandering aimlessly, wondering what to do with her newfound freedom (and where are all the people?)

Wheatley crash lands nearby, heavily damaged but somehow still functional. He gives very many hastily thrown together apologies, his processor is scrambled by the landing and he's 100% certain Chell is pissed with him.

Despite having conflicted feelings, Chell still takes Wheatley with her. Better than wandering around with no one at all. Eventually, Chell comes across the ruins of a formerly Combine occupied city, complete with a citadel-like superstructure.

Ruins of battles fought in a distant past are still visible, the skeletal bones of Resistance members lie in the streets. The corpses of Combine soldiers can also be found, their armor pristine despite thousands of years of exposure. (Chell also probably gets a gun here, thinking a beat to shit USP Match but functional nonetheless. The resistance had like a million of the things.)

Combat, puzzle solving, etc. Chell eventually comes across a still working Combine terminal and plugs Wheatley into it, something he surprisingly volunteered to do. Maybe he still feels bad about the whole trying to kill you thing?

A sequence occurs where Wheatley is upgraded into being a half city-scanner hybrid, with the back end or "tail" of a city scanner welded to his form, allowing him to fly. No more carrying him around.

Also, the portal gun gets an upgrade. It works on most surfaces now. No more moon rock exclusivity for you.

Much of the game from here on out would be solving puzzles both in the combat sense and pure puzzle sense, think a mix of both Half-Life and Portal's gameplay. Of course, portals would have their own combat application.

I also want Chell to keep a journal, detailing her thoughts about certain things, also filled with drawings of things she's encountered.

Chell will also encounter now ancient murals to Gordon Freeman, leaving her to theorize and speculate on who he was, and why he must have been important. Wheatley also has plenty to say about the subject, but still has no idea what he's talking about.

At some point in quieter moment, I want Wheatley to give a proper apology to Chell and reconcile their feelings towards each other.

Possibly a villain in the form of an awakened Combine Advisor? Chell accidentally wakes one up from a deep hibernation, unfortunately this Advisor is still under orders to maintain the occupation of Earth and begins trying to revive what remains of the Combine in the area.

Skeletal, half dead but still loyal combine soldiers, kept alive by their various augments that prevented certain vital organs from decomposing. Weaker than their prime, but still eager to kill.

Rough outline I have for an ending is Chell meeting a very old sage Vortiguant who's physical body is heavily aged and barely functional, but he's still a psychic powerhouse. He communicates telepathically and is nearly one with the vortessence, only keeping his physical form anchored to serve as a guide for any would-be survivors wondering what happened.

He will serve to fill in the gaps of Chell's knowledge, throughout the game she would be piecing together exactly what happened to Mankind, and the Sage Vortiguant will confirm and deny many things.

Chell learns humanity captured the Borealis and used it to open a gateway to a world where the Combine couldn't follow them. Chell is left with the choice to stay on Earth and eke out her existence here, or go to the new world, one possibly even more alienating than the world she finds herself in now.

Wheatley promises that no matter what she chooses, he'll follow her.

Gameplay

As mentioned earlier, a blend between both Portal and Half-Life. Chell gets a gun and probably a few of them, one handed as the Portal Gun will be taking up her left hand. It's also possible she could simply stow the portal gun on her back and switch to just a gun, but I want the portal gun and ballistic guns to be able to be used in conjunction with each other.

Many of the enemies will be Xen creatures, given thousands of years to roam Earth, they have fulfilled many biological niches and become a part of Earth's ecosystem. Many creatures are in a mid-point before making the next evolutionary jump to advance their species here in a few million years.

Portals will be used to get the jump on enemies and also aid in mobility, they can be used offensively as well as defensively. Of course, enemies can be displaced from their current position with a well placed portal, and killed with things such as fall damage, or sending them into a hazard.

Bullets can be fired through portals, but it works both ways. Any projectiles the enemy fires can also pass through portals, meaning the player must selectively and strategically place their portals.

Enemies aren't blind or stupid and will notice if a portal is opened behind them, so players must be quick to take advantage of using a portal quickly. Enemy AI will actively avoid standing in front of or crossing in front of a portal if at all possible. This does not apply to more animalistic enemies who don't have the mental capacity to understand how portals work.

Puzzle solving and platforming elements will carry over from Portal 2, Chell will have to find unique and creative ways to navigate the ruined city and navigate around hazards that bullets can't get rid of.

Misc.

General idea I have for Chell's design is she's still wearing her jumpsuit tied around her waist and has kept her long-fall boots. She now has a resistance beanie on her head, along with some armor that was still good enough to provide some protection. Fingerless gloves, as well. Hair is haphazardly cut, giving her somewhat uneven bangs as she couldn't find a decent mirror or a pair of scissors.

Wheatley is still damaged, chassis scorched from reentry and lense cracked, dents cover his spherical body but he's just as chipper (and stupid) as ever. The city scanner upgrade cleans him up a little bit, a new coat of paint but still beaten and battered.

I may add onto this post as more ideas come to me, but this is what I have for now.

Yup, the bigger picture takes hold once more ... fucking Ludinus ... and then they're there, in Zephrah ...

NOW they finally get to start mourning at last ... ouch ... "tropes" ... oh, here we go ... ah yeah, here we go, BARD LESSONS ... XD

Matt: "It is awful." Aabria: "Fuck you, gimme a Performance check!" Matt (rolls): "It's not as awful as you'd think!"

Oh boy ... Dariax's first public busking session ... I am SO nervous right now ... wait ... what ... IS HE RUNNING OUT on Dariax? Are you kidding me? Please tell me he's not doing that ...

Oh, I see ... he's just being anonymous in the moment ... drinking it all in ... this place ... it's beautiful ... oh, and it's KEYLETH!!! Hey! And she SEES HIM anyway, even though he's invisible ... and NODS ... oh ... wow ...

And now THIS is where she chooses to call it for this session ... wow ... I mean it's beautiful ... but now Aabria's gone ... nuts ...

Time for a break, then ...

Soooooo ... it's just Robbie left, at the table ... hmmm ... I guess that means it's just Dorian and Dariax alone here, then ...

Keyleth's now speaking to him directly ... okay ... that's just so totally Keyleth, straight to mothering mode ... I love her so much ...

Here we go, yeah ... just tell her everything, Dorian, she'll understand ... oh yeah, could they get Cyrus' body back? yes ... good, that's good ... meanwhile these two DEFINITELY need to just recharge, clearly ...

Oh yes, and TOTALLY they need to get to Orym and Fearne ... yes ... but yes, rest and resupply, definitely ... and yes, of course she's happy to indulge them in both. I really do love her so much ... oh yeah, it makes total sense that Dorian responds so positively to this. Yeah ...

"A shared solace and grief" ... oh yeah, totally ... makes perfect sense ... meanwhile ... oh yeah, she's still got a lot to deal with, definitely ...

Dorian receives Orym's Sending Stone message ... wow ... and he responds: "I'll be there." Oh man ...

Oh, okay ... looks like this might be their chance to tag along ...

Ah yeah ... this is A LOT to dump on him all in one go, surely ... and an invitation, yeah ... he doesn't hesitate, either ... oh, here we go, resupply such as they can in the time, at least ...

The tree! Yeah, here we go ... and it opens up ... yeah, so they're going RIGHT NOW, definitely ... straight through, then ...

Ruidus in the sky ... great ... that's still as creepy as ever ...

"Seven figures"? Wait ... already? Really?

They're all there ... but ... no ... no, they're not ... that one's NOT somebody he knows. FCG's not there ... oh man ...

HERE THEY ARE!!! BACK AT THE TABLE!!! WITH ROBBIE!!!

Proper reunion ... it's been SO LONG, but FINALLY ... SQUEEEEEE!!!

Orym doesn't even WAIT, does he? He just jumps right on him. Fearn's close behind ...

Catching up ... yeah ... and now ... oh fuck ... broaching the subject of their loss ... their fallen comrade ... oh man ...

Ah yeah ... Evoroa ... this'll be interesting ... nobody here's seen a Bormodo, after all ... wow ... that is SO OBNOXIOUS of Dorian ... WOW ... but he likes her. Awwww ... :3

Yeah ... how DOES the situation lie right now? Yeah, reckon they COULD use some rest after what they just went through ...

oooh, this is NICE ... cosy comfy, just what the doctor ordered ...

Cool transformation ... yeah, she;s definitely showing off a little there ... points for a dramatic entrance, at least ...

Dorian tells them what happened ... yeah ... this is ... a whole lot of heaviness ...

And then the story of FCG's last stand ... man ...

Aww, the crystal dancer! Awwwwwwwww ... :3 Yeah, Dorian would TOTALLY love that ...

BOO PREDATHOS!!! Yes.

And now Laudna's pulling out dead stuff ... it's business as usual for Dorian again ... he loves her but she makes him uncomfortable! It's adorable! :3

Is he staying? Dorian: "If you'll have me." YAY!!!

Ashton: "This is how ska starts." XD

The conversation just got a whole lot more serious ... oof ...

Oh yeah ... Deni$e ... yeah ... XD ...

The pronunciation of Predathos ... oh, I love it ...

They need drink. Lots of drink. Drink is necessary ... much alcohol, please ... nice one, Ashton.

Ashton interrupts Keyleth and Evoroa's conversation. Hmmm ... wow ... that was brief and intense and ... interesting ... back to alcohol ...

Ah yes ... the changes in Ashton and Fearne both ... yeah ...

Yes. To Letters ... time to get shitfaced ...

And that is it for the night. Perfect place for it, really ...

Adn ROBBIE'S BACK!!! I'm so happy ... it's been TOO LONG ...

[decarabiandivorce]

Consider-

decarabian proposes to amos but it causes citywide controversy because the ring had massive gemstones and would cost the equivalent of a mansion in today’s society+ their marriage being expensive enough to set the entire city into poverty temporarily

Bonus points if they only invited the upper class/aristocrats/people close to them to the wedding, but many average/lower class citizens (especially nb) snuck in because there was more food in that event than the average person had seen in their entire life (additional bonus points if nb only recognizes amos years later because he saw her at her wedding)

GOD. okay so the idea of a ring that would cost a mansion made me take psychic damage. Then i actually looked up some rings and did you know the paris hilton ring is like 2 million? What the fuck. Why are rings so expensive. (my only prev experiance looking at rings is looking at simple ace and aro rings)

The real world Princess Diana wedding was millions of dollars and this fact is making me scream. The hell???? Her ring was 60 grand???? Why are rich people like this??? In modern money it would be 400 grand????

Amos thinks its a joke at first and closes the box. She's like "My beloved. No." She's sweating badly cause what the hell? Where did he even get something like this?

Okay now im thinking if they ever talked about proposals cause that's something you need to bring up to your partner. A lot of people don't want public proposals and while I do think that Decarabian would love parading around his partner- I think Amos is a much most secluded person.

"Want to get married?" She asks as they cuddle under a blanket, her heart beating loud enough for the both of them.

"Sure," he muttered back. That was something humans like to do, right? The only gods he knew of that were wed were the ocean ones near Liyue. Other beings embraced courtly love- based on flirting and dancing around the issue. "That requires a ring? Or two?"

"Three if I may put one on your finger," Amos whispers back. "Oh there are so many gems to think of. Cor Lap-"

"Ugh no not that one. Rex would never let me hear the end of it if either of us wore that one."

Realistically I think they would agree on something like this. Its still stupidly expensive but the design fits that of old Mondstadt.

As for their actual wedding, yeah it would be an Event. Amos is really nervous because she didn't tell any of her friends the guy she was seeing was DECARABIAN. They would have LOVED a heads-up. And the nobles knew that their god was walking among them but even they didn't realize the fair lady who reads in the library was COURTING HIM.

My own hc for the timeline is that being married made them both 'equals in power' and thus she got a longer live span than an average human. This, while it was great for Decarabian, wasn't so great for Amos when she had to outlive her friends. Thus NB and all her future rebels wouldn't be alive for a century or two.

You think you’re not paying rent by living at home but actually the one million points of psychic damage you take every day converts to the cost of a New York City studio anyway probably

don't you >:3c at me young man (joke)

stumpy, i kid you not, ever since we've become mutuals (and a good while beyond that point) i've been insane about the mountain goats from a distance. i even found a quiz that gave me a recommendation on which album i should get started with based on certain preferences. i've listened to a grand total of two songs of theirs in full (in recent memory, the total number is definitely higher) but every time i learn about a previously unknown to me goats song the lyrics deal one million psychic damage to me. every time. and i love to read them. every time.

(crimson one voice) you, solely, are responsible for this.

I’m never getting over the fact that Daniel married the female (nice) version of Terry Silver. Seriously, Amanda is just Terry with more sugar, and really nice dresses. They look like they could be related. Act like it too. I still lean towards that crack theory of Terry being Amanda’s father. Oh boy. Oh boy!!

From season one I kept wondering why she reminded me of someone—then I re-watched KK3, and I figured out who that someone was. Silver left a mark. And little Danny boy was left with one hell of a type.

Too bad the CK writers are cowards who’ll never give Daniel what he really needs, only the lighter shade of gray. Oh well, at least there’s fanfiction.

I give the writers of Cobra Kai a lot of flack, but narratively, Damanda is genius. I think the way they tried to tie Terry to Johnny was a bit forced; there is no reason at all why Terry would give two fucks about Johnny Lawrence before the tournament; I think it'd be funnier if they would have both turned to Daniel/Kreese at some point going "Who tf is that guy?" And it would have been a million times sweeter if Johnny would have gone to kick Terry's ass for messing with LaRusso only to emerge with his ass thoroughly kicked and work from there, but casting Amanda as Daniel's wife? Oh, the implications! Beautifully set up because the characters don't realise but at least part of the audience certainly will! The way they kept namedropping Terry so long before we got to meet him? And the "Oh...oh" people who hadn't seen Terry in tk3 all went through in seeing his younger self? The way the whole Kumiko S3 story retroactively makes sense? Because you couldn't but go: but why aren't they together? Even the bonsai LaRusso Auto gives away? It's incredibly cheesy if you only know kk1, but in light of KK3 and Little Trees it's so heartwarming again?

They left an incredibly deep mark on each other, but it's a deeply tainted love. And yes, if they'd been narratively honest, there is no way Terry wouldn't have kidnapped Daniel for some more karate bdsm at his house, going by that steam room scene alone. Too adult for the genre? You bet. But internally consistent.

But ah, what is fanfic for indeed!

If Amanda were Terry's daughter it must have been one massive bender Terry went on directly after tkk3, and I still think he'd somehow be aware of Amanda's existence and marriage to Daniel. No way people wouldn't have tried for alimony from that baby Daddy. And there's a lot of female love interests of TIG that work perfectly, but Terry has no chemistry with women in the whole franchise. Maybe Carla the maid, she's his type, but I hardly think he'd go there.

I'd still wonder what Amanda thinks of all this. Of course she doesn't know his younger self, but no way Anthony, Hawk and Demetri haven't digged up everything.

Awkward! 😆

And Anthony could so easily be Terry's child it's hilarious, too. Out mindgaming each other at every turn! But for canon Daniel to find out that Terry is his children's grandfather? Talk about psychic damage. I think he'd become a monk!!
