chaos, we so catostrophic | Logan Howlett & Wade Wilson, 1.1k, PG-13

@poolvertober: Day 17 – Cozy

Summary: Takes place immediately after Wade introduces Logan and Mary Puppins to Al. This is 100% dialogue and is more gen than slash but we all know the truth ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) TW: Rated for canon-typical violence, gun use, mentions of drugs/alcohol, language, and death of a nameless rat. Read on Ao3

A/N: I'm taking today's prompt real fast and loose here so please forgive me lmao. Title from Chk Chk Boom by Stray Kids because I'm still offended it wasn't included in the OST, smh 😑 Shout out to the wonderful Zay @comatose--overdose for the beta, idea throwing, and putting up with my ass (ಥ‿ಥ) All other mistakes are mine.

❤️💛❤️💛❤️💛❤️💛❤️💛

“It’s like an armadillo fucked a gremlin, angrily, and in a bed of gonorrhoea—”

“Wow.”

“—and didn’t stop ‘til the sun came up!”

“Whatever it is, I ain’t taking care of it.”

“Don’t worry about that. Besides, we should talk about how Logan is here to live with us!”

“No, I’m not...?”

“How the fuck are we supposed to keep a mangy dog and another whole-ass human being alive in this shithole apartment, Wade?”

“Gasp! How dare you call her mangy? She’s a princess and deserves to be treated like royalty!”

“And you want her to live in this cocaine-less den?”

“Did you just say ‘gasp’ out loud, bub?”

“The movie’s almost over, so I can probably hook you up with Doug’s forbidden baking powder soon. I’ll figure it out!”

“What about the entire man—”

“Ooh, that he is.”

“—that you intend to house in this one-bed, one-bath?”

“I’ll only be here until I can get on my feet, ma’am.”

“Nope, you’re staying here until you’re 90! Also, ‘ma’am’? Logan, I’m pretty sure you’re twice her age.”

“What the fuck?”

“Oh yeah, Logan’s the Wolverine and he’s, like, stupid old.”

“Fuck you.”

“...I thought Wolverine died?”

“This is a new one.”

“How the fuck did you get a fucking new one?”

“I’ll give you the abridged version of the movie later, after everybody settles in.”

“Wade! For fuck’s sake, I can hear you leaving—don’t you dare walk away from me!”

“Don’t you dare walk away from meeeee!”

“Singing Whitney doesn’t answer my question about how the hell we’re fitting three people and a dog in here!”

“We’ve got a pull-out—haha, pull out—in the living room and an XL twin in the bedroom.”

“My bedroom, Wade!”

“Bub, are you fuckin’ serious?”

“Hey, if the fanfics can make it work, then we’ll make it work!”

“I cannot believe this shit. This dumbass never listens to me.”

“Jesus fuckin’ christ. Althea?”

“Yes, Logan?”

“Ya got any booze around?”

“I think there’s beer in the fridge.”

“Booze? Already? It’s not even—Al, what time is it?”

“How the hell am I supposed to know?”

“Right, blind, can’t see the time.”

“If that wall clock’s right, it’s 3:14, bub.”

“It’s not even 4pm and you’re already drinking?!”

“If I have to put up with your hairless-brained bullshit, yes, I am.”

“I’d be more offended at that joke but I’m honestly impressed, pookie.”

“Seriously? For calling you bald?”

“His standards are in hell used as Satan’s spreader bar where he should’ve gone instead of rooming with me.”

“Hey!”

“Pfft!”

“Unbelievable, I can’t believe—oh, no! No no no no, Lady Leprosy With Legs, don’t nap in that! That’s where Daddy keeps his knives.”

“That’s what I’m trying to talk about, Wade! Where the hell is everyone supposed to sleep?”

“You and I can bunk together like we used to, Al. Logan can take the pull-out.”

“Oh, friggin’ hell—no. You and I will share that damn couch and Althea can keep her bed.”

“Thank you, Logan.”

“Aw, you’re so sweet, sugar tits!”

“Now, what about the dog?”

“She’ll get a dog bed, duh.”

“What? D’ya just have a dog bed lying around somewhere?”

“I do, actually! But where did I put that thing?”

“Are you serious?”

“Convenient, huh! I found it in Al’s shit when we moved in together and decided to keep it. I’m guessing the author got too lazy trying to figure out a better way to include it in this fic.”

“...He just says shit sometimes. Don’t mind him, Logan.”

“I’m well aware. You’re a weirdo, bub.”

“Thank you! I’ll take that as a compliment. Now, if I remember right—SHIT!!!”

“What?!”

“The fuck’s happening?!”

“Ah, shit, fuck! There’s a rat!”

“A RAT?!”

“Althea, where did you get that gun—put it down!”

“POINT ME TO THE FUCKING RAT!”

“Al, put the fucking gun down!”

“GET RID OF THE RAT FIRST!”

“Arf!”

“Mary, don’t touch that thing!”

“Fuckin’ hell, bub, grab Mary while I—”

BANG!

“AL, FOR CHRIST’S SAKE—”

“Arf-arf! Rrrrruff!”

“WADE, GRAB THE GODDAMN DOG!”

“NO, GET THE FUCKING RAT FIRST!”

“Mary—!”

BANG!

“AH!!!”

“Althea!”

“Jack Kirby’s giant ballsack!”

“Did I get it?!”

“Fuck no! You hit me, you empty-eyed, shit-for-aim walking corpse!”

“Rrrrrrafff!”

“Logan, keep her from shooting this way!”

“Just let me aim for the fucking rat!”

“Althea, please just hand me—”

“Get your goddamn hands off my glock!”

“Then stop shooting!”

“Mary, wait—!”

BANG!

“Rrrrrragghhh!”

“Ho. ly. shit.”

“What the fuck happened? Did I get it? Is it dead?!”

“You’re such a good girl, yes, you are!”

“He better not be talking to me, I swear to god.”

“Little miss angel face here just caught our uninvited guest!”

“Grrrrrr.”

“Wade, get that thing out of her mouth before it catches rabies from her.”

“Wow, rude, she doesn’t have rabies! Also, I’m pretty sure it’s already dead. She’s got no teeth but a hell of a bite, don’t you, my lovely bundle of herpes and joy?”

“Just get the fucking thing out of here!”

“Ugh, fine, jeez louise—come here, girl. You did such a good job, yes you did! Thank you for killing that thing! Now, let’s go toss it out.”

“The dog caught the rat?”

“Yeah, she did.”

“Well...I guess it can stay then.”

“Really? The dog’s already in your good graces?”

“You’re the one who tried grabbing my gun.”

“Because you were shooting everywhere!”

“And now you’re arguing with me!”

“...My apologies, ma’am. Won’t happen again.”

“Just keep your word and it’s alright.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“Alrighty! Time to go look for that bed again.”

“Anybody want a beer?”

“Can you grab me one, Logan?”

“You already finished that whole can?!”

“‘Course I did. All that shit gave me headache.”

“Welcome to a day in the life of Deadpool and Blind Al, peanut!”

“I did this to myself. I chose to come here. How the fuck did that happen?”

“I wonder the same damn thing all the time.”

“Your beer.”

“Thank you, baby.”

“I can’t believe it’s been less than five minutes and both of you are already ganging up on me!”

“S’not hard to.”

“My Wolvie is so mean! Aha, here it is! I knew I still had the old thing. Here you go, my fearless guard dog.”

“It was a rat, not an intruder, Wade.”

“She protected the house and killed that pest. She’s practically a guardian angel!”

“Eh, good enough for me.”

“See, Al gets it!”

“I still ain’t looking after that thing.”

“That’s fine. Logan and I will!”

“I did not sign up for that.”

“You did when you agreed to crash with me!”

“Is he always like this, Althea?”

“Oh, you have no idea.”

“Make yourself cozy, Logan, because it only gets better from here!”

“God help me.”

“God help us all.”

“Arf!”

(Not so) important message for both the GTA fandom and the CC fandom

(I’d appreciate if you read the entire post 👉👈)

So tomorrow I’m returning to my hometown, which means I’ll gain access to my drawing pad and be able to draw digitally again.

Now I have a silly idea, and that is to draw women from both the GTA and the CC games (canonical characters only tho). I ain’t no sexist or feminist or whatever, nor I hate men or anything, I’m just not good at drawing them, yk? Plus, portraying women is way easier for me since, well, I am one myself haha

✨But anyway, this is your chance to request a drawing of your fav female blorbo ig :)✨

Now, there obviously won’t be an individual drawing for every single character. My plan is to just doodle multiple characters on a big sheet (interacting with each other or not, it depends) for the funnies :3

Also, I’ll most probably do a post with the GTA women first, and with the CC ones afterwards. And I think this goes without saying, but it’ll take some time for me to draw these.

I know most (if not all) of the GTA women and how they behave and all, but when it comes to CC, I only know about the ones from S1 (but not from the Airport Zone since I stopped playing the game before reaching it), so expect some inaccuracy when it comes to ones from other seasons.

If you genuinely wanna request, just comment (on this post I mean) the name of the woman you want me to draw, the series that’s from and the game (GTA)/season (CC) it appears in (so it would be easier for me to find them).

If this plan actually works, I might do the same with male characters, but I don’t promise anything tho (since the men I draw look rlly goofy and all).

So yeah, I’m waiting for your suggestions <3

[extremecuddlingdragon]

Hnghhh imagine being shy and anoning as another sfw vore blog. But I crave some coziness so I hadda' ask. Would it be possible to write something for lil' me; having to do with Bill Cipher? I don't care if it's hcs, a canon x reader story (with reader feeling a connection to his character or just wishing to be eaten up by a triangle XD) or something else. Not only is this guy a comfort character of mine but also a different ver of him; redeemed friend and my soulbond (look it up in plurality if curious). Of course, all of this within your set rules, I crave de platonic fluffness not anything else- but I understand if you got absolutely no ideas. Just had to ask. I'll stop rambling now ^^

Anon, I completely understand haha. I have a habit of being an anon on other’s blogs just cause it’s habit at this point. I have also never heard of soulbond until this point so it was really interesting to read about!

Bill is not a character I commonly write for but I am willing to attempt some headcanons! Plus I’ll add some redeemed Bill headcanons for fun! Hope you enjoy!

(Reminder that requests are open!)

When Bill was a villain, he absolutely loved to tease prey and just be a general asshole. Scaring prey was one of his favorite things.

Despite not having a visible mouth, he can make one appear. Usually it’s a fanged filled maw that appears when he splits himself in half.

Fearplay is something he will always do. Even when not asked. He loves the adrenaline and fear from the prey.

Prefers scared prey that struggles. They taste better!

His stomach is actually a sorta pocket dimension. It’s not physically attached to him but it does make him feel stuff like hunger or if a prey is in there.

Cause his stomach is a pocket dimension, he can eat any size of prey and it won’t even leave a dent on his body UNLESS he wants it to

Likes to tease his prey

Prefers to eat multiple smaller prey or one singular giant prey

If he has someone come up to him and wants to be eaten, well he ain’t saying no! He sees it as a success.

After becoming reformed, he still likes to eat people but usually does it in secret. People don’t take kindly to seeing that.

Before he would just chase prey but now he’s developed a stalk then pounce behavior. Now preferring to take prey by surprise instead of outright chasing them. To his surprise, they taste better this way.

He still likes to chase prey occasionally but the surprise eating is his favorite

Angrily complies with the rules he was given of not just running around and swallowing people. At least this lets him test the waters and see what will slide. Sometimes just to push buttons.

That time the Haitani brothers got catfished (fic)

(kindly requested by @kokonoiscoconut, also there’s some bonus drawings at the end) Come my dear children and whores, and let me tell you the story of the time that the Haitani brothers got catfished. This is completely canon as I’ve been informed by Wakui himself.

Ran picks at his professionally prepared pasta carbonara with his gold plated fork and sighs, he looks up to see Rindou doing the exact same thing. “Stop playing with your food Rin” Rindou simply grumbles and stops. “So, are you going to the festival later tonight?” Rindou asks feebly. “Of course not” of course Ran is. 

He was asked out by one of his tinder matches that he’d been interested in for quite some time, he can’t put his finger on it but something about her just feels special. However he’s been anxious all day, not about his date though, Ran has had many in his time and knows for a fact that this date will go swimmingly (haha foreshadowing) just like the rest. What he was actually worried about was something he liked to call a pet peeve of his, his younger brother Ran to see him whilst on a date.

 Little did he know, Rin despised the exact same thing and was planning on going himself with a date. Similar to Ran, he’d felt an odd connection to his date for a while. Rin felt a bit more assured now that his older brother had confirmed he wasn’t planning on attending. 

Later that evening, Ran is in his room (which is the probably the size of my house) fixing himself up for his date, he tries to carefully braid his hair only to fail because mf is too pampered to do sh*t so he calls on a maid to fix the rat tail he just produced. 

Meanwhile with Rin, he’s already ready to go and is carefully sliding up his window preparing to sneak out. He has a squad of maids to help him  escape scotch free and without his brother noticing (btw, basically their whole personal workforce know about them both going but think it’s hilarious so they don’t tell them).

Rin arrives at the festival just moments before Ran and walks to a food venue. He orders some takoyaki whilst tapping away at his phone trying to get in contact with his date, they hadn’t decided on any specific place to meet as it was so last minute that she’d asked him out. 

Ran is already on his way to the spot where his date and him had planned to meet, at the outskirts of the festival. Ran finds himself a bench and plops down to ask his date where she is. He stands up at the familiar scent of expensive perfume.

Rin yawns as he walks and almost drops his half-eaten takoyaki when he bumps into a figure. 

Ran and Rin stare at each other in absolute shock. 

“What are you doing here Rin?”

“I thought you weren’t going?”

“Anwser my question first”

“Fine,” mutters Rin “I’m here to meet my date, what about you?”

Ran sighs “Same here, but she won’t respon-“ Ran freezes and points forward, indicating for Rin to look the same way. 

The brothers are both left flabbergasted.

In front of the Haitani brothers lies a fish. (this would be perfect out of context) (also the fish is Irish)

It flops up and down on the pavement, “Oh feck I didn’t know you lads were related, HA look at yer eijet lookin’ faces yer scarlet. Now ain’t this the craic? Well enough banter, I was planning on robbin’ yous, you good for nothin’ rich folk. Don’t you ever care for the fish that may be sufferin’, we have poverty too ya melters. Now that I’ve catfished yous, you’ll feel inclined to hand over your money due to the unbelievable embarrassment yer feelin’.” The fish says as it flops up and down in joy. 

“But how? you’ve got no hands” Rin yawns as he speaks.

That was a completely valid point, fish unfortunately do not have hands and they also can’t fucking talk. 

Later that night the Haitani brothers have grilled fish for dinner.

-extra-

“So, is feeling attracted to fish an official sexuality?” asks Rin.

“No”

“But what if it’s a mermaid”

“They don’t exist”

“Ok but what if it has a pus-“

“No, dear brother”

-extra extra-

-Rin now spends most of his days at their family’s extraordinarily large artificial pond behind their mansion staring at fish. 

This fic was inspired by a post made by @tokyo-daaaamn-ji-gang, which was further expanded by others, it was super fun to write though I’m definitely not a writer.

Oh, sorry, just cinnabon is local cafe with cinnamon rolls, forgot that cinnabon is just brand name, haha)

Also, it's so cute how Dom and Six talked "Oh Six, you're so silly~" "I am)" "ahahaha" and in same episode Hargrave and Klipse said almost same "Oh sir, you're so very bad" "I am" "ahahaha". I mean, it's obviosly a parallel, that Dom & Six are kinda next gen of Klipse & Hargrave. So, Dom would probably stay with Six, later as his guard and right hand, and since he's older, they could have same age gap as Klipse and Hargrave. And interesting fact, Dom can drive. And I dont know what ship to choose... Hargrave/Klipse, Klipse/Avon, Klipse/Jeredy, Klipse/Jon, or if Dom isnt a clone Dom/Klipse. Kinda canon Hargrave loves Klipse, but Klipse loves Jeredy, but enjoys Hargrave's flattering. I also love past Klipse/Avon, but they broke, so it was before Jeredy, so first was Klipse/Avon, then Klipse/Jeredy, and then Hargrave/Klipse. And in the end they separate from each other. I really want to see past Jeredy/Klipse, and we kinda see them, calm, only together, later Klipse just became mad about all research, and I'm sure he said something like this when they broke "Jeredy, we can be most powerful people in the world, this monsuno research, we can be rich! STORM doesnt recognise our research and we arent paid enough for that! Lets go away, together!" and Jeredy said no, but hey, later listened and did same as Klipse did(but why so they arennt together...?). And Hargrave/Klipse relationship, Hargrave's always so obvious flattering Klipse in any ways, and Klipse really enjoys it, he smiles back at Hargrave that moments, and when Core Tech comment Hargrave's behavior, Klipse hush them, saying something like "Oh, you dont understand".

Well, there’s a Cinnabon an hour from me so I do know that brand.

Still, I’m all for parallels between Hargrave&Klipse and Dom&Six, but as someone who definitely believes that no one taught Six romance or gave him ‘The Talk’, Dom and Six to me are that of older brother having fun with his baby brother and destroying their enemies. Also, I kinda made Six HIGHLY unable to drive any cars, so Dom always gets the car keys.

As for ships, that is on you anon. Mostly because all of them have their problems when it comes to being with Klipse. Heck, I think Klipse ships himself with power and glory over his enemies and the people who are loyal to him. Like, Klipse has his ego, and while he could maintain it, it should be noted at as the series went by, his ego always goes up with his need to rule the world.

And to all the men Klipse dragged on his quest for world domination and petty revenge, the only way any of them could end up with Klipse without having him destroy the relationship in a day is either they just don’t go for it or they realize that it ain’t worth it. Which actually means that none of them should try to deal with a man who can’t even name his SIXTH clone. Yeah, I am petty on the fact that Six doesn’t actually have a name but like I still like Six as his name because it’s so easy to remember. So pick your poison anon because none of them sound healthy.

Actually, Six might just give you knock out poison just so you don’t pick a ship since that means you think Six has a chance of having a loving stepparent which is something he knows isn’t going to happen.

[cynicalmusings]

appears from above

yes please tel your cyno thoughts ahaha

warning: super, super self-indulgent ramblings ahead.

okay so i don’t have any specific or particularly, well, particular thoughts: it’s more just general internal screaming at the thought of cyno because oh my god how can such a perfect man exist and aaaaaaahhhahahhhhha

okay so basically he’s just like super, super considerate, okay? like, he comes of as a bit cold and blunt and around people he doesn’t know really stern and intimidating, and so his affection and care for people (but let’s take an x reader scenario for this right now because i am a simp) is really subtle but always there, whether it’s in the canon universe, an au: whatever. he’s just… so selfless in a quiet way and would never admit it and he’s also always looking out for you and stuff and he gets worried about you, you know? again, he’ll never admit to it, but he worries about you a lot. (his love language is probably acts of service and maybe possibly gift giving but don’t quote me on that second one.)

and he expresses his love for you, again, in subtle ways: making sure you’ve eaten enough, drank enough water, had enough rest, taking care of you when you’re sick, remembering and buying (or making) your favourite comfort food when you’re feeling down without being asked. covering the corners of tables and furniture when you’re around them with his hand (credit goes to @cynotical for that one.)

it’s like he’s a mind reader or something and always knows exactly what’s bothering you and how to fix it. you never even need to say a word: he can just tell and in an instant he’s found a way to help you out.

on that note, hiding your feelings from him is a fruitless effort. even if you’re good at putting on a straight face and keeping your emotions under lock and key (*cough cough* ME haha *cough cough*), it doesn’t matter: he sees right through you the moment you’re feeling down. if you’re uncomfortable in any way admitting this outwardly, he doesn’t comment, and just sits beside you in silence, holding your hands in his and rubbing circles into the backs of your hand with his thumbs.

oh— and cyno also allows himself to be soft around you (sometimes), and only you. even though he has a couple of people he’s close to, whom he often frequents with awful jokes, he never fully lets his intimidating exterior down except when he’s alone and around you. you get to see the side of him that wraps his arms around you and holds you close, unwilling to let go until he’s had his fair share of kisses and attention. you see the side of him that worries (but pretends not to) when you get only a small cut on your fingertip when slicing vegetables, and tuts quietly, telling you, ‘show me’, and then raising that finger to his lips and kissing it better (leaving your stomach doing flips and cheeks burning furiously.)

you see the side of him that stares at you with a gentle, lovestruck smile when he thinks you’re not looking; the side of him that presses a kiss to your forehead when he think’s you’ve fallen asleep, mumbling a quiet ‘sweet dreams’ or ‘good night’ or ‘i love you’ against your skin in a voice softer than falling snow.

he’s just… so incredibly gentle and kind and considerate with you in a way that you don’t even notice what he’s doing for you until you take a step back or spend some time without him and then realise how sweet he actually is under all that sternness.

and shit i really want to kiss and cuddle with him right now holy jesus because i feel like i’m getting cyno withdrawal symptoms even though he’s been on my mind 24/7 these past few days and i literally cannot express in words how much i love him right now and how sweet he is and i am (not) on the verge of tears but i’ll say i am anyways for dramatic effect because i just love him so much and it ain’t even funny by this point and aaaaah

[dearlittlefandom-stalker]

Thanks, @flickeringflame216 !

3 Ships: gah. Hmmm. Eh. The 3 ships currently revolving around in my mind I can’t say, because there are preschool toys here because the characters only exist in my head (and the head of my friend). So. Huh. Basically most canon ships, especially Healthy Married Couples (because there needs to be more of those) but for like, current rabid fangirl ships… I guess currently they are

Peter Parker/MJ (Tom Holland and Zendaya’s portrayal) or Peter Parker/Gwen Stacy for the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man

Elizebeth Bennet/Fitzwilliam Darcy (I always call them Lizzie and Mr. Darcy in my head 🤣)

Donut Lord/Pretzel Lady 😂 Maddie and Tom are Relationship Goals, I love them so much

1st Ever Ship: heh, probably the couples from Barbie Princess and the Pauper- ESPECIALLY 💗Anneliese/Julian💗 but Erika/Dominic too. My first rabid fangirl shipping was definitely Obi-Wan/Satine from the Star Wars the Clone Wars 2008 show. My heart! 💔😭

Last Song: the pic below plus the Bad Michael Jackson cd my brothers had on. Plus Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkle.

….as I am typing this, either my Mom or brother has put on the Whitney Houston Greatest Hits cd 😂

Last Movie: hmmm I think it was The Santa Clause movie but I might be getting it mixed up with the Santa Clauses show my family binged together. Either that or Home Alone, I can’t remember the exact timeline of events, this holiday season was a bit crazy lol Currently Reading: Recently I read the original Nutcracker and the Mouse King by E.T.A. Hoffman (English translation) and it. is. a. TRIP let me tell you. I got lots of ironic enjoyment out of it and found it both highly amusing and more than slightly disturbing but in an entertaining way. The author wrote it with no small amount of satire and doesn’t take it too seriously - and neither should you. It’s a very interesting and unique writing style and I love it. The only other book I can think to compare it to, writing style-wise, is The Princess Bride (book) by William Goldman. I just started reading Ain’t Misbehavin’ by Jennifer Lamont Leo. I got it for Christmas ;-) Oh and Genesis for the Bible

Currently Watching: haha… a mix of stuff. Hermitcraft - Grian and Scar regularly, with many other Hermits pitched in that vary week to week. Plus Mumbo’s not-hermitcraft videos, lol Empires S2 - Jimmy’s episodes and a few of False’s. Sermons - found on youtube/rumble/other by churches I like to keep up with. As far as actual shows go, I have a longer list of Want-to-Watch than Actually-Watching lol. A lot of the shows on my Want-to-Watch have already ended. Bluey and Sonic Prime are the only shows currently airing new episodes (a show that hasn’t ended but is on hiatus that I watch is The Mandalorian).

Currently Consuming: Tea as well! Though my default tea is iced sweet tea (black tea we keep in the fridge. It’s like, 90% of my fluid intake lol). Of course make it with only a half cup of sugar per gallon of tea, because I don’t like it super sweet. I do love a wide variety of teas though…

Currently Craving: Mint chocolate chip ice cream ;-)

Anyone who wants wants to be tagged- consider yourself tagged!

Tagged by @o-lei-o-lai-o-lord--thanks Lee! Starting a new post because the old one was quite lengthy.

3 ships: Hmm, I'm not much of a shipper. BUT Faramir and Eowyn make me long for romance like not much else can. I ship them :). Meg and Calvin from A Wrinkle in Time are sweet. And...oh goshawk. Maybe Anne and Gilbert from Anne of Green Gables. I liked how they're still very in love in the later books despite lots of sorrow and Life Things Happening.

1st ever ship: . Probably Laura and Manzo from the Little House books?

Last song: Currently listening to an FFH album so it's Open Up the Sky (but my favorite in that album is One of These Days).

Last movie: Little Women (1994). Watched it last week with my sisters!

Currently reading: Just finished listening to A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle and started Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis. The Space Trilogy was a gift last birthday and it's been sitting on my shelf for almost a year, so I'm very excited to begin. So far it's fun, and reminding me of just How Good a writer Lewis actually is.

Currently watching: No shows, but if I were YouTubing it would be Smarter Every Day videos.

Currently consuming: Tea! Decaf ceylon, very strong--not my usual choice of tea, but it came as a sample with other tea I ordered for Christmas presents and it is Quite Lovely.

Currently craving: sushi! I want to make it again sometime soon.

All The Bad Kids Are Trans

and you can’t convince me otherwise

First off, Riz. Riz dresses like every transmasc in existence. No cis man walks around wearing a newspaper cap voluntarily. When he first started questioning his gender (which was about age 10 or so) he took about ten different online quizzes in order to compare the results, then decided they weren’t reputable sources and took matters into his own hands in order to scientifically prove his feelings. Finally Sklonda took him aside one day and said “You’re trans, right?” Riz responded with a long ramble about how he hadn’t quite collected all the data and there were still plenty of experiments left to do before asking how she knew. Sklonda replied “you scratched a bunch of different gendered terms into the wall and then rated them all one to five stars. You rated ‘boy’ very high. Do you want to use a different name? Or pronouns? Also, are we out of paper? You need to stop writing on my walls, we rent this apartment.” Penny had figured it out months ago and had been very subtly avoiding calling him anything but “kiddo.”

Adaine came out at thirteen years old, much to the chagrin of her parents. She tried to be assertive about coming out, but also had a panic attack midway through, which made them doubt her confidence. She had prepared a speech and had been using she/her pronouns and the name “Adaine” with her friends for a long time beforehand, just to figure out if she was totally, absolutely sure. Incidentally, she purposefully picked the name Adaine in order to subvert the -wyn pattern that all of the Abernants’ names have. It took her a lot of fighting to get her parents to address her correctly, but, though it didn’t occur to her at the time, Aelwyn never had any issues with it.

Gorgug is that kid who came out when he was like four years old. Wilma and Digby SHOWERED him with love and support from the get-go, and contacted Gorbag and Roz (who were also supportive) to help them think of a name that honored his orc heritage. However, the Thistlespring parents are SO supportive that they sometimes forget that their son is trans, which only heightens his discomfort during their weirdly frequent sex ed conversations. “Mom and dad? Mom and dad. I don’t have anything to ‘wrap up.’” Also, he wears hoodies everywhere. Case closed.

Fig came out at the end of 8th grade, which was..... a tumultuous time. Sandra-Lynn and Gilear are both supportive of their daughter, but because she decided to come out just when her horns were coming in, and they were figuring out the divorce, and Gilear was still trying to process that his daughter wasn’t exactly his daughter, they struggled a bit with the news at first, which only sent Fig further down her identity-crisis-rebellious-phase rabbithole. Gorthalax had been keeping tabs on Fig and knew as soon as she came out. He’s very proud of his daughter, because he may be a demon but he sure as hell (haha) ain’t a transphobe! Everyone assumed she was just a very flamboyant gay boy in middle school. Now she’s a riot grrrl.

Fabian came out when he was still on the pirate ship with his father, and his parents were OVERWHELMINGLY supportive from the get-go. He, of course, left figuring out his name up to his parents again, because who could think of a better name for him than Bill Seacaster? Captain Seacaster, incidentally, sent a panicked letter to Garthy as soon as Fabian came out asking wtf he was supposed to do, to which Garthy responded “just call him your son and use the right pronouns, i suppose, darling.” He took this to heart, and would enthusiastically (some might say overenthusiastically, but not Fabian! Not about his papa!) exclaim that Fabian was his “darling BOY!” whenever he saw him. Of course, they’re far more settled into the reality of things by now, but saying “my darling boy” just became a bit of a habit.

FH:SY finale spoilers below the cut!

Kristen is the only one who did not come out before the events of Fantasy High. In fact, she has yet to come out in canon at all, but I am convinced it is coming. She’s finished her sexuality crisis. She’s in a stable relationship.  ....Except that Tracker has just left for a long trip. Perfect time to have another crisis while your emotional rock is away! I am convinced that Kristen, a religiously traumatized follower of a nonbinary god of mystery and the unknown, cannot NOT be nonbinary and will absolutely have an arc where she comes to terms with her gender and learns to operate and find confidence in herself without Tracker. I’m not sure what pronouns she’ll use, but it’s probably all of them.

not a spn fan or have ever watched the show but from the way i read the tags on tumblr sometimes & i’ve seen posts on blogs like wow imagine writing a show so poorly that your main actor hated the ending so much so that he and his wife asked u for the rights of said show & now he’s basically rewriting the show he starred in for 15 years from scratch to fix the mess you made lmao. as jensen said, the prequel is only the beginning of the ideas he has in his head for the spn universe and yet this might be just me tinhatting or reading too far into this but can you imagine all along it was just a cheeky ploy designed as a way to properly give a well deserved destiel ending because he too wanted to give them (and the fans) the justice they rightfully deserved but he has to be smart about doing it the RIGHT way like that bastard ain’t slick & i bet his misha (that’s his husband too right???) was in on it too like wow wow wo-

Ok. I love everything about this, nonnie.

And I’m glad our chaos storm is feeding you. 😉

But yeah, he told them he didn’t like the ending they had planned, told him “take it or leave it” which he knew he didn’t really have the “leave it” option.

So after Jackles’ 12 year long con of pretending to be against Destiel, he suddenly was all about Destiel in 2019.

I mean, this is the man who had a crew member film Cas’ (Misha) confession scene on his phone so he’d have it to watch at later and remember it as it was with no music or effects. Because he wanted to be able to look back, as Jensen, and remember how it happened in real life and in character life. 🥺🥰

Then his tweet about the article that was anti John Winchester (the father) saying basically“canon? We got you.” He’s the #1 Dean kin. He’s said multiple times he doesn’t always know where Dean ends and Jensen begins. That he is Dean Winchester. And he knows he’s rebelled against how shitty a father John was. In the finale, he even called him John and not “dad.” (Or was that just a draft that they filmed but then changed it to dad? I forget. Too much happens lol.)

Anyway. Yeah. He’ll do whatever he can to make out with Misha on camera. (Who, I love you think is his husband. I need to know is that just from written posts or because you’ve seen the heart eyes Jackles gives Misha?? So, technically and legally he is not his hubby lol. Though close enough… haha. In my tinhatty mind. They aren’t officially a couple. But I mean… come on…)

Husbands? Yeah. Yeah, they are.

God… I wish my hubby looked at me like Jensen looks at Misha. Seriously.

[edengarden]

Hmm, breakup headcanons for Geto, Mahito, Haruta and Sukuna could be fun. Interested to see the varying levels of unhealthy with these losers. Lmao.

you're brave enough to enter a relationship with them but you're also very foolish to think you'll ever be able to leave it. you're right; these bitches ain't healthy, we should all run. this is canon to the MAX, no soft fanon here boys, you've been warned

TW: death threats, toxic relationship dynamics. please don't be like mahito, sukuna and haruta no matter how hot they may be

Geto

the only respectful mf in this house smh

though he wants to know why. don't you dare just leave without a word, he needs to know what he's done wrong (or what went wrong). give this poor guy closure

seems like he gets over it rather quickly. he distracts himself really well but he does feel lonely at night when he falls asleep without feeling the mattress dip with your presence

though he respects you and tries his best to feel better and get over it. besides, he knows you're doing the same. okay maybe the fact that you're not hung up on him hurts a little but he'll get through it

Mahito

HAHA. you've "taught" him how a relationship works but forgot to tell him that they can end

i doubt he's letting you leave if he's grown attached to you. don't upset him if you're trying to break up, you'll end up worse than dead

honestly, you're just a feeble little human, if anyone's going to decide how things will go, it's him. you're his, after all. you've said so yourself in the past

you can hate him, fear him, it doesn't matter, he loves it anyways. any reactions on your part fuels his motivation to keep you. he can't let a fun toy like you get away

Haruta

bitch he'll fight to have you stay. literally. in the most childish yet dangerous way. i fear for your life

you know so much about him, he's been so vulnerable to you, and you're leaving? he knows that can't happen. you're a threat to him now

might very well try to kill you, but there's a small side of him that still feels attached to you that begs him not to. he'll just... threaten your life

if you cave in, he'll keep you there with him, but you're a lot more distant from one another. he finds it hard to trust again when you've almost slipped through his fingers like smoke

if you didn't, well... life doesn't always go the way you want it to, right?

Sukuna

ANOTHER ONE WHO WON'T LET YOU LEAVE. but not the same way as the other two.

as soon as you express that you're done and that you're breaking up with him, whatever sort of attachement he had for you is gone as well. you think he'll actually hurt for you? haha, that's funny

well, when toys are broken you gotta throw them away, no? i'm not even kidding when i say he'd just kill you and carry on

seriously, you didn't expect Sukuna to fall to his knees for you, right? you don't have that power over him; he has that power over you. though it won't change your fate when you beg him to forgive you and promise him you'll stay. what's said is said

[i-keepmyideals]

Why…are you so angry about my little hehe-haha, not to be taken so seriously post? Name calling and all is quite unnecessary. It could have just been left as a “agree to disagree, have a nice day,” situation. You didn’t have to say anything to me at all. “Peak comedy” was the irony of seeing the two post practically back to back when both are at complete opposites of the spectrum, not your opinion.

Like, dude, bro, I don’t know you and you don’t know me, so why do you think you do? I lack the ability to understand complex characters? Some of my favorite characters in media are the villains, the anti-heroes, the side characters because they’re complex. Don’t know if you’re an anime watcher or not, but my pfp is Dabi from My Hero Academia, a very complex character. Loki is among one of my favorite characters in general because of how complex he and his story is. I could go on about Miguel O’Hara in Across the Spider-Verse and how he isn’t a villain and is tragically misunderstood by a lot of people who saw the movie, or Jason Todd, or Gojo and Toji in Jujutsu Kaisen, Levi in Attack on Titan, Zhongli in Genshin Impact and so many other characters. I do this to my friends pretty frequently.

My second favorite character in the franchise is Scorpion/Hanzo Hisashi, now Kuai Liang, which…is gonna take a lot of getting used to tbh. He’s gotta be just as complex as Bi-Han is. There’s a lot to understand about his story and character.

Astarion from BG3 and all of his actually morally grey and sometimes worse little gremlin ways is all I can think of as of late. But I don’t understand complex characters, mkaaaayyyyy.

I didn’t add my little post to yours because I just didn’t see the need to? No, I’m certainly not old enough to have played a vast majority of the MK games, doesn’t mean I’m not an enjoyer and don’t watch videos about the lore from people who know far more than I do. That’s why I didn’t reference any other game, just this one specifically and what it offers. As someone else replied, the game is a touch inconsistent. Largely, Bi-Han is a dick in this game. He has his own motives and wants, totally fine good for him, they just really don’t lay anywhere near morally good lol

And seeing as how MK1 is a complete reboot, he seems quite irredeemable, or at least has some very low lows. In this game, he’s a pretty shit son for letting his father die and then lying about it to his brothers. In this game, he’s pretty shit for siding with Shang Tsung even if he feels trapped by Liu Kang and wanted more freedom. In this game, he’s a pretty shit brother for threatening to kill his younger brother’s wife to his face. Did he show concern about Kuai Liang and Tomas’ safety when infiltrating the fortress? Of course, they are his family. He can show concern and remorse. I don’t think that’s off limits to characters I see as somewhat evil or at least super shitty. I also don’t think he’d change his actions if he had the chance. He has his vision for the Lin Kuei and that goes against what his father believed and what his brothers believe.

The timeline has reset; everything else means nothing now. Fujin said Noob was born as a good person? Past tense, for starters, and that was MK11. That timeline doesn’t exist anymore. Kuai Liang trying to find a way to turn Bi-Han good again in his MK11 ending? Means he wasn’t good and, again, that timeline is gone. You say Armageddon isn’t the canon timeline. Full stop right there. It ain’t canon. He can be good in it, sure, but that’s not the main timeline. That’s like saying Smoke is a cyborg. Sure, he was, but he isn’t now. That’s not canon anymore. This is a new man - this is a new Bi-Han, and again, I made it pretty clear I was only talking about his actions in MK1, so I really didn’t ask about the other games.

You misunderstood what I meant when I said peak comedy, which I can say is my fault and could have worded it slightly differently. But then you go and say I hit rock bottom, essentially say I’m a coward, brain dead, I’m immature…somehow, and lack the capability to understand complex characters? I’m assuming you’re older than me judging by your little “dig” in the tags. That’s all a touch immature but go off

Slight MK1 story spoilers involving the Lin Kuei

Peak comedy is me scrolling through tumblr’s version of my fyp and seeing someone say Bi-Han in MK1 isn’t a one dimensional character. Which is true, he’s very complex. He feels like he is being controlled by Liu Kang. He has to answer to him to a certain extent. He probably felt the same about his father, the former grandmaster of the Lin Kuei. Shang Tsung offered him more leadership, free to do essentially whatever he wants. Which isn’t true because, be real, it’s Shang Tsung and even he answers to someone else. But then saying he was right with siding with Shang Tsung and that he isn’t evil. Then two posts later, I see this

His younger brother telling him to stay away from his wife and Bai-Han just going like “lol bffr do you know who I am?” Like, mans confessed to letting their father die just so he can take over, sides with Shang Tsung, is okay with the idea of Shang Tsung wiping out millions of lives, and then threatens to kill his brother’s wife. And we all know his threats are just promises he’s waiting to cash in.

But yeah, he totally isn’t evil

[pynkhues]

I love writing Rio, but what's not easy is writing his dialogue. He doesn't say that much in canon is the thing! So we just don't get to hear much of not only his diction, but also don't get too much of how he communicates outside Beth/girls, which is a very specific dynamic. We get a bit with Nick, but still not much. How do you get into Rio's head to write his dialogue? How do you get in his voice? And then not just how he speaks but what he'd communicate/share about himself?

I love writing him too, anon! He’s got a pretty specific cadence to the way that he talks though, so I totally get what you’re saying about him sometimes being a challenge, especially because – as you said – we tend to see him in pretty specific contexts which can make imagining him outside of them difficult.

I think for me, I do tend to write him and Beth both as fairly uncommunicative and deflective because, well, they usually are, haha. They’re both characters who think a good defence is a strong offence, and would rather play games or fight than be vulnerable with one another, so having them talk circles around what it is they both actually want is something I find really fun and rewarding.

What that looks like, and how I approach that, varies depending on the scene or the story I want to tell, but generally speaking my way into dialogue generally is through:

Dialect and slang

Context; and

Tone and body language.

All of these things are pivotal to making conversations between characters feel authentic and lived in, and having those conversations serve the narrative, but they’re also great things to think about in terms of fanfiction, because even if you’re writing an AU, things like dialect and body language are still elements that are pivotal to the character you’re writing and something you can use as a touchstone to bring said character to life in your fic.

As an example, let’s take a look at an excerpt from Drive You Mad (wear me out):

“Don’t you have a back-up plan, anyway?”

“Don’t you?” he snips back at her, petty, and she scowls at him, her chest flushing red above the neckline of his t-shirt.

“You know what?” she says, mouth pulled into a sneer. “I could’ve had a back-up plan if you’d actually bothered to tell me about this whole thing instead of just showing up at my job and having me drop everything to run around after you.”

It’s enough to make Rio snort on a laugh, tossing his busted cell back down into the cupholder, twisting his body sideways in his seat so he can rest one elbow on the back of his chair, the other on the steering wheel, webbing his fingers in between as he stares at her.

“Yeah, see, that’s kinda one o’ the perks of bein’ the boss, darlin’. You remember, right? Back when you thought you were one?”

She stares right on back at him, breathless for a minute, before she twists, briefly tanglin’ up in her seatbelt, enough it practically cups her breasts in a way that shoots hot through him, before she manages to release the seatbelt and fumble out of it. Her rage propellin’ her forwards.

“Those are big words for somebody who really managed to screw tonight up. You have no phone, you lost your boy, and you managed to give us away. So good job, Mr CEO, have fun justifying that to your board of directors.”

It’s quick, how much the heat in him fans into somethin’ white hot. He licks his teeth, drops his chin forwards towards her, unwebs his thumbs just enough to point at himself.

“I screwed up tonight? Oh, that’s fuckin’ rich, darlin’ - -”

“Yeah, you - - ” she tries to interrupt, but he won’t let her. He leans forwards in his chair, the tension inside him pulling taut.

“Nuh, see, I ain’t the one who gave us away in there. I ain’t the one wastin’ time battin’ my lashes at the guy I’m supposed to be workin’,” she reels back at that, her head shakin’, confused, and she can’t be, because she was - - “Fallin’ sideways on his - - ”

“What are you talking about?” she hisses, not letting him finish, and Rio just laughs, sucks in his bottom lip, before he levels her with the coldest look he can manage with her (and shit, it ain’t ever cold enough).

“What I’m talkin’ about is you scrappin’ around for attention wherever you can find it, coz that dumbass husband of yours can’t tell you apart from his mother.”

Somewhere outside of the car, he can still hear the echoes of the campsite, the whiz and the crack of fireworks, the thrum of cicadas. The hot gust of air from the car’s heating buzzes at his skin, circulates the smell of stagnant lake water and that too-sweet one that’s just her, and he watches the shock on her face shift into a bright and naked fury.  

“You do not know the first thing about my marriage,” she says, her voice low and tight, and Rio just laughs, rocking his jaw forwards because that’s fuckin’ rich.

“Oh, I don’t?”

“No, you don’t,” she grits out. “It might come as a shock to you, but there is a lot you don’t - - ”

“Know you fucked me on a date with him,” he interrupts. “Know you fucked me in his bed.”

“My bed,” she hisses, and she drops her hands to the bottom of his shirt again, fiddlin’ in that way she does around him now, and his eyes dart down, and he has to tear ‘em back up to meet hers. “And we weren’t on a date. I was - - we were - - working.”

It’s enough to make him laugh for real that time, bark it out in disbelief, dropping his head forwards as he nods, pursing his lips before sitting back in his seat.

“Oh, so it’s work that gets you hot? Okay.”

***

With dialect and slang, I dropped a lot of ‘g’s (probably slightly more than I would these days, actually), the way he often throws questions back at Beth (‘Oh, I don’t?’) and used abbreviations (kinda), slang (darlin’, dumbass husband) and even just certain words that I felt he used frequently on the show (boss).

This alone I think works to an extent, but it’s really combining that with certain tones and body language that I think helps the most in terms of making a character feel, well, in-character. I made Rio interweave his fingers because it’s something he does a lot when he’s around Beth, particularly when he’s annoyed, and merged that with him turning around to face her in a car, also when he’s annoyed, haha, and I mixed that up with some of the ways we’ve seen him act when he’s both pissed off and horny, mostly using 2.06 as a reference point, because y’know, we got the spectrum of emotions from him in that episode.

Which comes down to the context. I knew what I wanted out of that scene – catharsis and bite and to get Beth and Rio at a breaking point again, so finding the little moments in canon where we get glimpses of that and borrowing from both the dialect and the body language of those scenes I think is what really helps to write the dialogue itself. Once you know what you want out of the scene, figuring out what moments in canon you can bounce off to create something that feels authentic is really a bit of a key to unlock the writing, I think!

And as for how much he chooses to reveal - Rio's a pretty mutable character, so I think it's really up to you and what you're going to enjoy doing. Like I said above, I like writing Beth and Rio as uncommunicative nightmares, and so giving myself opportunities to explore that, even in my established relationship fic, is what I'm going to do. Knowing what you want out of your story, and what you enjoy writing, is always the instinct you should follow, particularly when it comes to fanfiction.

[dragynkeep]

This is something that I usually always keep to myself, because everyone has their own design tastes, but after the last disaster with Twiins and Critter I'm safer to say. Normally I agree with them criticisms of RWBY's designs, but god, them redesigns always end up being either the most borring and bland(in the case of Twiins)or the most crowded and unsightly things I've ever seen (in the case of Critter). Also that Ciel's redesign from Owl's looks so beautiful.

So this has been in my drafts for a bit while I gathered my thoughts together, since this especially came during the whole discourse around Twiins. We ain’t angry at her, this isn’t an attack on her style or work, this is purely my opinion and my reasonings for it. 

That said, even when I was a big fan of her videos and work, I always disliked her designs. Her sense of style never jived with my own, and that was perfectly fine because design is subjective, but given that she criticises Ein Lee’s work and then falls into some of the same pitfalls as her is a bit telling, especially since whenever she makes videos about character design, she keeps bringing up her work in character design.

Like, this is just me, but if I was putting out this product, I would not be advertising my credentials like that. 

But to start, I am completely ignoring any old redesigns and just focusing on the outfits she made in her latest video that’ll be linked here. I know I made redesigns even just last year that I absolutely despise now, so it’s unfair to bring up old outfits like a “haha look how trash these are”. That’s not what this post is gonna be about. 

Now, I’m gonna be going at this as redesigns to replace RWBY’s later outfits. Twiins didn’t specify if these are supposed to be redesigns of their Mistral outfits, their V2 outfits, or just some amalgamation, but from any angle, these designs have serious flaws.

But I have noticed that she has improved a lot in her art style from the beginning of her channel, and that’s a really inspiring thing to see. 

So let’s start with Ruby’s outfit.

Ruby Rose

Now, Twiins’ reasoning behind this is that she didn’t want to deviate that much from Ruby’s Beacon outfit, since there’s no point reinventing the wheel, and I do actually agree with the reasoning behind it. The reason Jaune consistently has good outfits is because they are wildly different from each other, and show a steady development in his character visually. 

Problem is, this is too similar. The red gloves is always a nice touch, but this is literally Ruby’s OG outfit with less details. The boots don’t have the red trim, the red chain thing connecting her cape is boring and makes it looks like a cheap superhero cape, the lack of silver bullets on her belt loses interest. 

Also why remove her corset? Her OG had the problem of the black corset blending into her black dress, so you could barely see it most of the time, but she also shows Ruby’s Manga outfit and the red on the corset completely rids the problem while having red on Ruby’s midsection. It was an interesting design choice, but to get rid of it makes this outfit too plain.

She is right that the all black look does make the red pop and more vibrant.

I can really just describe this outfit in one word: Unimaginative. 

Weiss Schnee

The same issue with Ruby is what we’re finding now with Weiss. This is bland. 

Obviously, Snowpea was the inspiration behind this outfit. I actually really like Snowpea, I think the structure of it would’ve been perfect for Weiss’ trip to Mistral compared to her canon outfit, but the biggest downfall of it was that it was too monochromatic. It was boring to look at even though technically it was the only time Weiss was mostly in her designated colour. 

I like the pop of red returning to her collar, I think it should stay a staple in Weiss’ design, but the white and black isn’t lifting this design. And this is a problem in Twiin’s approach to Weiss, Blake and especially Yang. 

These two not being primarily in their colour isn’t the issue, it’s the misuse of their colour that is. The problem with redesigns, and even shown in the Beacon arc, is that Weiss in mostly white resembles a pale blob. Her pale skin and white hair and white jacket and white dress and white boots, it’s all too much. Ein Lee’s concept of Weiss showed that Weiss using blue in her design is the right choice. 

I would pull back the blue gradient on the dress to let the white take more centre stage, but the jacket being a light blue works for this. It separates the white dress from the white jacket, the white decals and inner white sleeves brings white into this part while giving a frosted look, which is what our Snow White is meant to represent.

The issue with the later outfits is that they use too much blue and too deep/saturated blue as well. 

Now this dress and jacket combo is too similar, too plain, that the eye just falls off it. The colours don’t work, the outfit itself doesn’t sell the rich heriess vibes like her Beacon one because of the lace and intricate details. 

But Weiss does still have her signature bell shape silhouette, with the wide sleeves, popped collar, and side ponytail. The outfit has all of Weiss’ signature shapes, but just having the shapes and colours does not make a good redesign.

Blake Belladonna

Now, I can see what she was trying here. I do like gold in Blake’s design, but again, this outfit isn’t really a Blake outfit.

For a critic who constantly goes on about the girls being unnecessarily sexualised, why is Blake showing more skin than she ever has, and especially more than Yang in this video? Where’s the practicality that Twiins keeps talking about, because I can guarantee having a long ass bow tied around your neck is the least practical thing there is. 

Owl actually disagrees with me on this, but I actually like Blake in thigh highs. I think the black thigh highs with white pants gives the illusion of the white shorts and tights that Blake wears in Beacon. I would not have them be the cowboy bell bottom pants because Blake has never had the cowboy aesthetic, it just doesn’t suit her type of fashion. 

The long glove is a nice mimic of her Beacon one, but it is absolutely not staying up like that without a cuff like she had. Again, wouldn’t be an issue if we weren’t taking into practicality, but Twiins always goes on about it so we’re doing it. 

Now the shirt. I hate it. 

The white chest and black surroundings not only helped break up Blake’s black, but it’s reminiscent of the tuxedo cat, which is what Twiins even brings attention to. Why do that and then just take it away? Now the only white Blake has is the small amount of her pants poking out of her pants and just drags the eyes immediately to Blake’s ass. Weiss’ at least distributed the black more effectively. 

The excuse is that since Blake’s hair is short now, she can wear more black, but this is became an issue. The white on the chest gave some interest as opposed to an all black shirt. You can still drive home that her colour is black even with other colours being used, you just have to be clever about it.

As a last note, it really would’ve helped if Twiins kept some purple in the design. The minor use in Blake’s OG worked because it separated the black tights from the black shoes, but here the shoes and pants blend in so much that I would’ve mistaken them for just thigh highs if she didn’t say they were bell bottom pants. 

Just like the blue with Weiss, the purple with Blake only became a problem because they were using it too much and with too light a shade. The purple on Blake’s Beacon tights were a very dark, almost indigo blue, whereas the purple used for her afterwards was much brighter and shifted towards the pink-purple side rather than the blue-purple where it should’ve stayed.  

Yang Xiao Long

....

This is easily the worst. 

I will say this right now for everyone doing redesigns or anything. Stop putting Yang in so much yellow. It doesn’t work, it’s just ugly and an eye sore.

The only good thing about this is that I like the jacket. Black instead of brown will always work better for Yang because it makes the yellow pop more, and the small use of white ties her to Weiss without it overtaking the design. Keeping it to the inside lining and the sleeve cuffs was actually a good move.

And that’s it. Everything else is just bad. 

The weird silver belt thing around her waist does not look good, the silver clashes with the gold too much, the all yellow jumpsuit means that I just can’t focus on any part of Yang. Her prosthetic gets lost with all the yellow and even the yellow stripes on her boots does little.

Also Yang’s long hair. If Blake having long hair means she has to wear white to help break up her body, why is Yang wearing so much yellow when her yellow hair is still long? 

Now, the inspiration behind this was Yang’s biker outfit in the RWBY Chinese Mobile game, and that outfit sucks too. Hunter is already the best outfit for Yang, and it showed how to use yellow without it being an ugly mess. 

Yang is wearing her primary colour in this outfit, but the difference between this looking good and it looking like a bright eyesore is that it uses two different types of yellow. The bright gold is accents on Yang’s belt, jacket and stockings, going through all the outfit, but it’s accented with black. It’s not black on gold, it’s gold on black, and that’s what makes it easier to digest visually.

And her jacket isn’t a bright yellow. It’s cream. It’s enough of a yellow colour that it adds to Yang’s colour, but without being so bright it’s distracting. Yang here isn’t wearing primarily yellow, it’s just that the yellow is used on top of the black as decals that the viewer is immediately drawn to them. Whereas with the brown and orange, you’d immediately go to that before you go to the bright yellow right next to it. 

As another note, the purple cloth on her belt is a nice way of introducing purple in a different way to the bandana for Yang. It’s not too much that it dilutes the contrasting purple eyes to her yellow colour scheme, but it’s enough to not feel like a random colour thrown in for laughs. I love her Hunter outfit and I honestly wish CRWBY would take more from this colour scheme than that shitty brown/orange combo they keep shoving Yang in.

Now, redesigns don’t bother me. They really don’t, I actually think a lot do better than what we get in the actual show, but these designs aren’t helped by the fact that Twiins has criticised the show for poor choices in the designs and yet repeats them in her own. Her attitude doesn’t help her because she even said in her ranking video that she doubt CRWBY would see it and doubt even more that they would be bothered to actually listen, when she’s already proven herself that she can’t take criticism either.

And ultimately, you can’t do that. If you give criticism, if you use your education and past as credentials while also saying that it’s just your opinion, make sure your own work is up to par. Otherwise, you’re just gonna end up with egg on your face, and these designs are some big eggs.

When you have 1 AM type of Character Gimmick Ideas

So, the eldritch character forms of my persona have this gimmick with their Tendrils being a very specific design choice on the majority of them.

This actually originates from Sal’varis’ design, which was a Cosmic alt to my main persona, originally designed for a Marvel AU Roleplay.

The tendrils.. I used to call them tails, haha. At the time I thought the neck thing was cool because it would be weird to give him actual tails above his alien naked body’s butt. And eventually I became very interested in eldritch themes, so the tendril concept was transferred over to the eldritch designs too. When I made the Seedling, it kinda happened out of the blue? Random inspiration being pretty high. I don’t really remember how exactly I was feeling, but it was fun getting all those details down that it eventually made me want to redo Sal’varis sheet and do a small redesign of some details.

Now the Tendrils originally were just a ‘’He ain’t human, yo.’’ Kinda thing, but they do have function. for Sal’varis, they mostly aid as extensive extra arms, they express his emotions by curling, they help with cosmic energy dispersion, AND they actually help him generate a gravitational field.

I was watching spectacular spider-man on netflix recently and I just always love how our wall-crawler can crawl walls. My main persona kinda does this himself because he can control the law of physics and manipulate a gravitational field.. And since Sal’varis can literally shoot himself into space with flight, what about the Eldritch ones? Mothman does not use his tendrils for anything gravity related, he manipulates light and absorbs it through them. Mothman can fly, he’s just kinda lazy.

So its simple- Since the tendrils actually give them speed when hunting and running like a raptor, they also aid in climbing: They create an electro-kinetic field similar to spidey’s fingertips, and for my character this also specifically manipulate his sense of gravity in the head. This means if he’s upside down, it does not affect him or nauseate him. Funny enough spider-man is canonically still affected by that part of the brain that requires gravitational direction. I keep forgetting what it’s called..  Cerebellum? In Dutch we call this part of the brain ‘’Evenwichts Zintuig’’ Which means literally ‘’balancing sense’’ Basically the Tendrils, by moving not only allow the Seedling and The Bloodbringer to move fluidly and smoothly, they also  generate an electric ‘’stickiness’’ so they can climb easily onto surfaces without being bothered by gravity pull or nausea caused by being upside down.  So yeah- There’s the thing with the Seedling canonically having a period were he was able to be harmed in the lore in the back of my head... And the removal of his tendrils actually mess with his bodily control. Its kinda like how people say some animals struggle to balance without their tails. The Tendrils were designed to look like spines initially even if they nowadays look more like sharp vines, so the idea is that they are the extension of their ‘’eldritch brain’’ and in a very dangerous shape that can harm you. Since he uses them to eat and suck out bonemarrow from victims... Hehehehehe. So yeah. The Tendrils are part of their spine and brain I suppose- Realistically anatomy wouldn’t work that way- but they come out of the nape of the neck, which is up towards the skull. I thought of this recently, not today. But wanted to write it down before I forget again.

They’re build as hunters, in an eldritch environment were these colors and features are camouflage. Why wouldn’t you want to climb upon humongous alien trees with little to no effort, relocating with ease just to jump down on your prey ready to suck out their bonemarrow?

Hnng. But yeah, the removel of the tendrils would fuck with their ability to walk, or even turn their head around, it makes them sick. ....... Apologies for bad grammar and sentence building, these posts are not made with high effort to fix those things, English is not my first language even if I communicate better with it than my native one. There are rules in writing that escape me at times, and I haven’t tried to write a novel for years now. Hence I stuck to webtoons.

katsuki is a very emotional person. he feels incredibly deep and profound things, but has trouble expressing it in a healthy manner. this being so, him as your s/o would consist of a lot of subtle displays of affection! such as...

-> SHOWING YOU HOW TO DO STUFF:

he’ll teach you small things about his hobbies. will 100% show you how to play the drums, mountain climb, etc.

literally you learn so much with him it’s insane. he claims it’s because he couldn’t stand dating an incapable person, but in reality it’s just because he likes feeling useful/needed HAHA.

-> TOUCHING YOU:

this man is lowkey super clingy...so he will always find a way to be physically close to you.

a BIG fan of putting his arm around your shoulder fs. don’t mention it to him though because he’ll IMMEDIATELY stop doing it.

-> LETTING YOU SIT ON HIS LAP:

if you’re comfortable with it, he’d adore it if you sat on his lap!! like fr if you walked up to him when he was lounging on the couch and did it this is how it would go...

“what’re you doing?”

“sitting down, why?”

he just stares and then grunts before going back to whatever he was doing

don’t let his indifference fool you, he is very pleased.

probably looked up at the ceiling and thought about it for an hour once you left

he thinks about you a lot

-> ALWAYS COOKING FOR YOU:

he pretends like it’s a nuisance, but it genuinely makes his day when you eat the stuff he prepares. literally if you’re hungry just ask him to make you smth and he’ll do it. he actually gets angry if you decide to cook without him.

one time, katsuki seemed really tired because of training and school. so you tried to make something for the both of you guys to enjoy together. it uh...didn’t go well...

“what are you doing?!”

“cutting vegetables...”

“no. you’re doing it all wrong. give me the knife.”

“excuse me??”

“GIVE ME THE KNIFE.”

you ended up giving him the knife

the meal was great!?? but he scolded you for like 30 minutes after PLS.

-> SHOWING YOU OFF:

he’s proud that you’re his s/o, so of course he’s gonna brag about you to EVERYONE.

it’s not overbearing or in an annoying way either. it’s moreso him talking about your accomplishments and stuff like that.

he literally only shows you off for his own benefit. NEEDS everyone to know how cool you and him both are.

it’s an ego thing.

i take back what i said abt it not being annoying. it’s a nuisance to everyone who ain’t you.

-> SITTING NEXT TO YOU:

like i said before, he needs to be close to you at all times. sooo he always sits next to you. no questions asked.

expect to see a pouting, petty katsuki if you decide to sit next to somebody that isn’t him.

“are you seriously mad that i sat next to deku and not you on the bus?!”

“‘COURSE IM MAD.”

“you’re impossible.”

“HUH??????”

-> LETTING YOU WEAR HIS CLOTHES:

PRACTICALLY CHUCKS HIS SHIRTS AND HOODIES AT YOU. LITERALLY JUST- PELTS YOU WITH HIS CLOTHES UNTIL YOU PUT THEM ON.

you took his hoodie without asking ONE TIME and now he’s hooked on seeing you in his clothing.

he’ll always pretend like he’s doing you a favor though.

gotta love how annoying he is! 

-> GIFT GIVING

i wouldn’t go as far to say that gift giving is his love language, but he’ll buy things that you bring up in causal conversation a whole lot.

he just kinda bashfully shoves the gift in your hands and watches as you fawn over it.

“awww! how’d you know??”

“you wouldn’t shut up about it.”

he loves seeing your pleased expression!! +100 boost to katsuki’s confidence.

-> HELPING YOU WITH ACADEMICS:

we ALL know how smart this man is.

he will 100% help you study for school if you’re struggling!

don’t expect him to go easy on you though.

if anything, he’ll probably be harder on you because he really wants to see you succeed.

he basically carries you through math

-> KNOWING MUNDANE FACTS ABOUT YOU:

i can see him knowing EVERYTHING about you. your birthday, your morning routine, your favorite snacks, your favorite songs, etc.

it doesn’t take a lot for him to remember this stuff either???

like, he thinks you’re unforgettable, so he just knows

-> WANTING TO IMPRESS YOU:

he wants you to know how cool he is so bad it’s laughable.

he’ll show off during training exercises FOR SUREEEE

bakusquad teases him abt it when he does lol they ALLL know how whipped he is for you

kirishima: wow, you’re really into it today bakugo!

denki: well (y/n) IS watching

bakugo: SHUT UP.

MISC HEADCANONS!

-> you enable him so much...like way too much. please get on that. someone needs to hold this stupid man accountable. he probably likes it when you scold him despite his protests so don’t be afraid to tell him off baby.

-> your approval makes his heart go $$/!/?!!!error??77776. like, even before you two started dating, he would ALWAYS feel flustered whenever you would compliment his outfits, fighting style, etc. now that you guys are dating, he still feels extremely dazed when you dote on him.

he’ll probably act super cocky about it though

“ ‘course i look good, idiot.” 

he’s trying his best to suppress the stupid smile trying to take over his face. eventually, he lets it out, and tbh everyone in 1A knows that it’s because of smth cheesy you told him.

he is SUCH a softie for you it HURTTSSSS GAHHHH!!

-> katsuki is a very protective boyfriend.

this goes for everything, but especially applies during intense situations.

will literally lay his life down for you without thinking twice about it. don’t fight me on this. it’s canon.

if you’re going on a dangerous mission, you BEST believe this man is tagging along with you.

if for some reason he can’t go, he’ll make it a point to stay up way past his bed time waiting for you to come back.

when katsuki chooses you over sleep just know that you’ve won at life.

he doesn’t see you as inferior in any way. he knows you can handle yourself, but he really wants to keep you safe bc if something bad happened to the love of his life he would be in shambles.

on a lighter note, if mineta bugs you, he’ll absolutely wreck him. will literally punt that grape boy into the next stratosphere.

also!! he’s not the type to care about what you wear. if you’re wearing smth a bit more revealing, the most he’ll say is that you look hot. literally is so unbothered.

he trusts you a lot so it’s like 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

protective ≠ possessive

-> dates w/ him are super all over the place! one weekend, you guys will just chill in his dorm and the next he’ll be laughing maniacally as he chases you down during an intense round of laser tag.

-> he’s big fan of competition, so he’ll turn everything into one.

let him win.

-> his hands are really sensitive because of his quirk, so if you kissed them he’d turn to mush.

im literally begging you to touch this man. help him. he is so touch-starved it’s not funny.

-> he runs hot so cuddles w him are so nice and comforting :(. will pull you in close and tight and NEVER let go.

in short, while dating katsuki definitely comes with it’s quirks, it’s a beautiful relationship. he respects you endlessly and will do anything to ensure your happiness. treat him right and he’ll do the same!!

have fun dating explosion boy!

Why Gabriel Agreste Should Have His Kneecaps Stolen

Good grief this dude ~Has *repeatedly* said he wants to rule the world ((in addition to his wish to resurrect Emilie; in fact, it was the first thing he ever said he wanted (Origins) and I really don’t think it was a red herring considering the actions that followed)) ~tried to pawn Ladybug's earrings AND Chat’s ring AS GABRIEL. How did he think that would go??? ~Uses as many as, if not more puns than his son (but they’re much worse) ~Akumatized himself?? Bro is dumb but not an idiot ~BATTED HIS SON OUT OF THE AIR LIKE SOME KIND OF DESPICABLE BABE RUTH WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ~Does not like being around people (fair) ~Thought that he could make an akumatized baby work ~Knows very well that LB and CN are teens but he's very determined to obliterate them so that's fun ~Wanted to start WORLD WAR 3?? Like come on dude what on earth were you thinking??? ~When he thought Adrien was Chat Noir his response was to DROP HIS SON OFF A BUILDING ~Is extremely abusive like dude honestly ~Isolates and neglects his son for his whole life and then is like "kids should be able to do whatever and yadda yadda yadda" ~The only times he allows Adrien to do something he always has an ulterior motive and it's almost never in Adrien's best interest. Several time Nathalie has to remind him that he has a son.  ~Canonically threw a mini temper tantrum when Gigantitan completely ignored him (that was hilarious though) ~Has been saved by LB and CN TWICE as Gabriel, and was literally shown mercy as Hawkmoth despite being their mortal enemy and still did not care ~Has used the pun "revenge is a dish best served cold" at least THREE TIMES. Dude, plz think of something new ~This boi really said "feel the burn" ~Okay but how many times does he go in and out of his lair? I feel like people would start to notice his window opening and closing all the time lol. ~Gabe really backfired with his "let's akumatize a robot" plan, like that was an all time low ~Hawkmoth knows that akumatizing Marienette would be just about the smartest thing he could do as a villain. Obviously he doesn't know the biggest reason that this will work in his favor, but he knows that she would make a very strong supervillain. I'm very worried about this as A) he's right and B) it's probably foreshadowing ~Was about to let Feast eat every single miraculous known to France if he succeeded?? I mean, dude has nerve. ~HE HAS AN AGREEMENT WITH KAGAMI'S MOTHER??? WHAT IS THIS ABOUT??????? ~PRIORITIZES BEING HAWKMOTH OVER BEING A DECENT FATHER AND HUMAN BEING ~Like he says "this is so Adrien can be happy" and blah blah blah but doesn't even tell his son or ask him what he thinks or anything UGH ~Has literally no qualms about any destruction that might be caused by his or his akumas' actions. "no matter the cost" he says ~AS OF THE NEW YORK SPECIAL HE HAS AKUMATIZED MR. RAMIER FIFTY-ONE TIMES ~FIFTY-ONE TIMES ~Honestly dude give the guy a break, how desperate are you??? ~side note was the secret basement and akuma headquarters always in the Agreste Mansion or did he have them installed? How were the builders not suspicious? Who decorated these places? How does he cover up however he got all his butterflies? ~THIS MAN IS LITERALLY STUNTING THE GROWTH OF EVERYONE IN PARIS BECAUSE THEY DON'T LEARN HOW TO DEAL WITH THEIR EMOTIONS Obviously the game is changing as people are more used to akumas and LB's lucky charms are going into circulation, but some people aren't strong enough to fight off akumas! Only THREE PEOPLE have done it (Chloe, Alya, and Nino). Mr. Ramier was akumatized SEVENTY-TWO times and what do you think he learned from that??? NOTHING THAT'S WHAT. Because rather than having the ability to work out their emotions and deal with them accordingly, Parisians get akumatized and then forget everything that happened. They are very emotionally unstable, and we can very clearly see why! And them being weakened works in Hawky's favor. It's disgusting and I really hope everyone in Paris gets therapy or something. ~He flung a random teenager (Fei) by the arm through a waterfall and into a very deep well like some kind of despicable frisbee ~More evidence that he quite literally does not care about his son's needs if they get in the way of his villainism. The only time during Shanghai that he is concerned about Adrien is when the monster HE CREATED is about to destroy the whole city ~Since when has he called Marinette by her full name and HOW ON EARTH DOES HE NOT KNOW SHE'S LADYBUG ~Maybe he'll figure it out now, idk ~Also whatever this Prodigious is it has been made quite clear that Hawkmoth has been in the works long before Gabriel started sending out akumas. I strongly strongly suspect that there's something about Adrien we don't know yet because if this villainism has been in the works for 15 YEARS?? Yeah something is up. And, as has been stated by another fandom member... Mama Agreste might not be as great as we were led to believe. ~Gabe may have diverted his attention from Adrien being Chat but he is definitely, definitely suspicious of Marinette, I'm telling you ~His voice got more evil over time I swear ~Also again he was only worried about Adrien (before his plan backfired severely, AGAIN LOL) and not that the akuma might kill literally thousands of people in Shanghai, haha way to go Gabe ~Yeah sorry Mari but Hawky takes no vacations ~HE WENT AFTER NEW MAGIC AND THEN BECAME SHADOW MOTH?? W H A T ~Kay so apparently Shadowmoth is much smarter than Hawky. At least... more tactical.  And he accepts help from Nathalie. But he still ain't winning lol, even if he's getting closer. ~And even though he was *this close* to getting the turtle miraculous, he was even closer to getting HIS TWO MIRACULOUS STOLEN ~STOP REAKUMATIZING PEOPLE, IT'S NOT GONNA WORK ANYMORE ~On Mr. Pigeon's 24th akumatization Hawky was really like "this man is hopeless" and proceeds to akumatize him 48 more times ~I love how he assumes he's still gonna be Hawkmoth by the time LB  and CN are adults XD like he'd literally be in his 70s ~the fact that he had every single miraculous holder in one place and didn't realize it ~I love how he has no problem letting Alec watch his whole villain spiel ~mans really said that negative emotions turn him on ~the fact that one of his smarter villains was a five year old -_-
