#ooc: ive been wanting to explore this for a while

[ooctlt]

I think the etiquette of ask blogs is a forgotten art. what I'm saying is (imo) it's not that people don't want to play, it is they don't know HOW, and more importantly they don't understand that the game exists to begin with. obviously you do not have to teach people the rules because your time and energy is finite but idk. it feels like from some of your OOC responses that you assume people know the rules and are playing badly, but I genuinely think people (me) just don't know what you are wanting them (us) to do. and also they (i) don't know how to tell if they (i) are playing the game correctly.

An example I am genuinely confused about is, is inciting a "shut up" answer a signal that the game is being played correctly, because we are inciting a reaction from the character? or is a "shut up" answer a signal that we are playing wrong and need to do something different? I'm sorry. I really love your art and seeing the story unfold but I'm confused and I want to play and I don't understand how.

yeah ive had a couple people tell me this has been the first active askblog in a while and the concept of askblog etiquette has been forgotten- @thatneoncrisis and i made a diagram:

link to full-res image

a "shut up" reaction will hopefully show whether or not it's a closed path of exploration: if you have gideon sweating, going "pshhh its nothinggg" it means there is something worth exploring. if you have harrow slamming the door in your face, that is an advance that wont work on her

transcript under the readmore:

DEAD END QUESTION ANON: CAMILLA DO YOU THINK HARROW'S HOT?

"Please stop talking to me."

This question is BAD because it's BLUNT, INCREDIBLY PERSONAL and founded on INCOMPLETE KNOWLEDGE of their relationship.

NOTE that its not that shitty questions will NEVER be answered, its that 1) they have a LOWER chance of being answered and 2) they have a HIGHER chance of being made fun of in character

gideon: haha who thinks harrow is HOT

DECENT INCONSEQUENTIAL QUESTION ANON: CAMILLA DO YOU LIKE TO DO ANYTHING FUN WITH HARROW?

"Sure. We run a lot of errands together."

This kind of question may not advance the plot, as it is INCREDIBLY BROAD yet NONINVASIVE. They're good for quick 1-3 panel answers. May generally be met with a less EXCITING answer.

It might also be DIFFICULT TO ANSWER because a broad question could include MULTIPLE ANSWERS - asking "do you guys go out" could not be answered SUSTAINABLY, because i cannot draw all the places they visit

ANON: EVERYONE, WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CLOUD / WATER / MOLECULAR STRUCTURE / BONE / CAR / COFFEE BRAND/ BOOK CHARACTER?

me: "i have to do so much research"

NEAT QUESTION CAMILLA HAS HARROW EVER ASKED YOU TO DO SOMETHING WITH HER SHE WAS EXCITED ABOUT?

"Yes, actually. She once invited me to [REDACTED], I didn't know she liked that sort of thing."

This question is SICK AS FUCK because not only do you learn something SUBSTANTIAL about the characters, you have stumbled upon A NEW PLOT BRANCH, one that actively deepens character connections and their past within the world. It specifically remarks upon a MEMORY* rather than AN OPINION and will typically be LONGER.

Another good option is to PROMPT something following this:

ANON: CAMILLA, MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY TAKING HARROW OUT TO DO [REDACTED] THAT SHE LIKES BEFORE XYZ?

and this can then spiral onward…

*DM, ONE TIME I ASKED ABOUT A MEMORY AND I GOT A RUDE ANSWER; WHAT DID I DO WRONG?

It's not that this topic can never be spoken about, it's about WHEN you asked it and HOW you said it, or even WHO you asked.

Some topics, like the nature of HARROW AND GIDEON'S UPBRINGING are too recent for them to talk about, it has only been TWO YEARS since they left and there are SPECIFICS about the situation that the AUDIENCE hasn't discovered yet. There are things like GIDEON'S PARENTS that she CANNOT answer because she DOESN'T KNOW and answering multiple asks with I DON'T KNOW becomes repetitive and dull for both the DM and PLAYER.

BUT! She can learn! Over time, when the time is appropriate and feels the most natural for STORY PROGESSION. Think of it like a BAD ENDING in a visual novel. You START OVER and ask a DIFFERENT QUESTION, or approach it from a DIFFERENT ANGLE. If Gideon reacts poorly to someone congratulating her leaving BAD CIRCUMSTANCES, consider talking to her about the FUTURE. Instead of trying to pry at Camilla to see if she had an INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP with Pyrrha, try to ask about other things in that period of her life, like how they met or what caused her to move out.

FINALLY, if you'd like an ask to be answered out of character, your best bet would be to goto @notedchampagne and send it there. If you'd like an ask to be answered SINCERELY or you don't want SNARK, you can specify this in the ask, but know this blog may not be your thing.

In response

((OOC

i checked this blog today to make sure it hadnt been deleted and saw a few things in the inbox. i want to clear up a couple of things. if this is the last post to ever hit this blog, so be it, but heres the endcase:

no, i decided not to make the end comic. i wrote this story nine years ago with someone i loved very much. it sort of became a net for my feelings about my loss and addiction. it was messy and weird and put a lot of my perspectives on display. ive been clean for two years now and i think its okay not to tie up this story with a neat end. like stan and kyle, i graduated and i got older and i have a career. thats all it would have been. i would have tried to ascribe some deeper meaning to making a dumb thing in high school, and i would have tried really hard to make it feel like the way things were back then were okay. i dont really feel like revisiting it. comics are hard. it took me a very long time to write and create something that can be read in maybe an afternoon. maybe you just had to be there. by following stan and kyle for as long as it took, you followed me and my coming to grips with being a person. really, this was just longform vent art about whatever dumb bullshit occurs to a high school junior. but i know it helped some people and entertained some other people so, i will be leaving it up. i just dont think ill ever slap a neat bow on it. my story wont have a neat end and neither will stan and kyles.

no, i wont end the craig blog either. i havent logged into that one in a while and i think if tumblr wants to wash it away thats okay. it was a way for me to reclaim some control over a narrative and maybe explore some deeper feelings (surprise, my birth father Also went missing, who knew) but it ultimately didnt amount to much. whatever happened to craig is up to you. my interpretation wasnt liked much anyway, and to have an askblog, you need people to be curious about the premise. i didnt connect as much with it and the frustration associated with running a project like that outweighed whatever i got out of it. i still dont know what that was.

anyway. i moved onto writing dnd campaigns and i am still alive. i still make art sometimes. i still get anxious when i see the inbox notifs, but these days, 9 times out of 10 its spam. i hope you guys all liked the south park post-pandemic aged up specials. i didnt, but im nitpicky and kind of bitter about the idea altogether. i havent seen an active askblog since 2017 but hey. be nice to people who make things. if you feel so inclined, maybe go make something for yourself. id like to thank the people who were curious and had fun here. id like to thank sekrit, neggy, rachel, five, ozzy and nadia. id like to thank everyone who let me tell my story. its just not over yet.

‎‎‎ㅤㅤJuniper W. Lowell was born on August 22, during one of the most intense storms ever seen in the state of New York. The chaos served as the backdrop for her birth, which took place in her mother’s old pickup truck while she and two friends struggled to reach the hospital. Raised by her two mothers — a Canadian journalist and a French art curator — she grew up surrounded by the serenity of the countryside in Upstate New York. The house she lived in was enveloped by nature, with horses, ancient trees, and the constant sound of the music and poetry that her mothers cherished. Art and literature filled every corner, inspiring her creativity from a young age. Juniper, however, had a special inspiration: her grandfather Wilson, a former military man who, after his career in the armed forces, dedicated himself to writing. Wilson's stories, full of resilience and sensitivity, deeply influenced Juniper's curious and creative spirit. 

ㅤㅤLowell was an introspective and shy girl, and the loss of her grandfather during adolescence deepened her isolation, causing her to retreat further into her own world. At school, Juniper did not stand out. Although she was intelligent and curious, she struggled to find her place in an environment that made her uncomfortable. The lack of direction frustrated her, and she often felt lost. A significant turning point in her life came when she enrolled in advertising at NYU. There, for the first time, Juniper felt she belonged to something greater. The program allowed her to connect her creativity with her passion for storytelling, which had been nurtured by her upbringing in a home filled with art and literature, and by the deep conversations she had with her mothers about the power of expression and communication.

ㅤㅤAfter graduating, Juniper decided to further expand her academic horizons. Fascinated by the power of visual storytelling and its impact on society, she delved into the world of photography and visual arts. This transition led her to study the relationship between art and communication, exploring how imagery can evoke emotion and tell complex narratives. She enrolled in a master's program at the New York Film Academy, where she focused on capturing human experiences and the natural world through her lens. Juniper also participated in workshops and creative exchanges, volunteering with art collectives and nonprofit organizations, always seeking to expand her knowledge and understand the role of visual arts in shaping culture and preserving collective memory.

ㅤㅤCurrently, Juniper lives comfortably in the chaos of the city, where she enjoys a flexible schedule that allows her to travel frequently. In her apartment, she shares the space with her faithful companions, June, her cat, and Diego, her dog, who often join her on her adventures.

ㅤㅤOver time, Juniper realized that her journey has been a bridge between her messy mind and the serene, creative life she now leads. From the chaos of her stormy birth to the calm she seeks through her work in photography and visual arts, her path has always been shaped by a balance between passion and peace.

Nie mingjue and liu qingge for the character ask game?

Sexuality Headcanon: im a nieyao/3zun truther so like he likes men... lqg is my beautiful aroace swordguy <333

Gender Headcanon: I LOVE BUTCH WOMEN!!!! ok both of them are men to me as canon, but like. take my hand. butch nmj and he/him butch lqg okay?

A ship I have with said character: i guess i already said but Big fan of nieyao i like it when weird assholes tear each other into pieces ^-^ 3zun is also good. for lqg i like him in bingliushen but only the way i personally like it and not the way people usually do it. hes a part of their marriage in the sense that he's their nonsexual nonromantic chew toy that they like sooo much. also lqg/tlj can be really good sometimes (thinking of raitala's 'the reluctant suitor' series - very nice tianliu series but also one of my fave lqg characterizations i've seen lol he's such a weirdo in this one)

A BROTP I have with said character: nmj and nhs!!! i love you nie siblings you rock. also i like nielan childhood friends i think its very fun especially when they start falling apart in the later years <3 an interesting take ive seen before also is nmj&wq which is pretty fun. LQG&SQQ THE BESTIES <3 theyre everything !!! i really like them i like how much they genuinely enjoy each others company and how fucking Bad they are at like. being in a friendship its awesome. also as a treat for myself lqg&yqy is sooo tasty i love it when lqg genuinely likes and looks up to him and yqy is fond of him in turn. could a sect leader and his coworker-subordinate really be... friends?

A NOTP I have with said character: obviously ew incest ships but aside from that i cant really think of anything? lqg x romance my notp i think he's so aro. also okay. okay honestly. liushen sometimes NOT all the time but sometimes the way ppl act about it irks me and i automatically look away. like the blatantly ooc fandomized liushen. bye </3

A random headcanon: lqg forest puddle water drinkerrrr dkjaskdss no im kidding im kidding. my random headcanon ("random headcanon" lol) is that he has good dad energy. he could pull thru. give that man a baby :] can i plug spring in bloom here again does anyone want to read spring in bloom by kay my friend kay <3 also i think he's immune to sex pollen bc he's an aroace jock who just exercises it out of his system. no basis for this one other than it's hilarious

for nmj... i think he secretly has a very annoying sense of humor that many people don't know about but he terrorizes nhs with. dad jokes type of beat... da-ge jokes <3

General Opinion over said character: I FUCKING LOVE THESE GUYS!!!!! i love it when there is a guy with a big fucking sword who has sooo many problems. lol! anyway ok more specifically:

i thought nmj was very interesting while reading the novel and definitely had a "hey wtf dude" initial reaction to him, but he's reallyyy grown on me <3 partially bc he's been on my mind a lot and partially bc of his presence in cql! (cql nmj is my type also so that definitely did smth to me as well lol) i think he's a really interesting character to explore both bc of his general backstory and bc of his relationships w other characters, as well as the fact that (in the novel) we never really see him of completely sound mind, so there's lots of room to play w how you portray him. he's fun!

lqg i love soooo much i loved him from day ONE i loved him as soon as he showed up. he's so good. i think his appearance was a very funny surprise (?), esp the way sqq narrated it lmao, and i really like him in general. i loveee the loyal sword character trope and i like how lqg does it (so well <3). his general awkwardness and extreme talent to put his foot in his mouth is also really charming ("its ok you can just get a new disciple" what is wrong with him). i also think there's room to explore w him, especially his family + relationships w other sect members, i love you liu siblings... lqg is a character who goes through a lot of growth imo and it's very satisfying to see that + how his rs with sqq changes through the novel. lqg is also a character that is so fun to put into situations and also make fun of. bc he's so sucks <3 ANYWAY I FUCKING LOVE LQG if there is no lqg lovers on this earth i am dead etc

TYSM FOR THE ASK KAY <333 sorry it took me so long to answer LMAO it was really fun though

[tojikai]

it was the way i hoped for toji and then rubbed my hands cackling when my wish came true and then instantly started squealing and kicking my feet for me 🥹😈

i liked seeing gojo’s perspective and while i can see now what the mind process was i still felt like he’s so dense and egotistical. i felt a little bad but it lasted about 2 minutes and then said fuck it we ball not enough to root for him so he can choke 🥰🫶🏽

baby megs putting naohoemi (i know what i said in the first ask about her being nice to yui but i was trying to be positive lmao but i couldn’t do it after reading it a second time) in her place and toji dealing the finishing blow had me smiling like the grinch and me monologuing about giving that man the sloppiest toppiest guack guack 9000 at the house 😤🤣

when n**mi said we can all fix it together i said out loud “i think tf not you trick ass bitch” bc i’m just so tired of her lmao pls exit stage left and stop inserting yourself the martyr complex is irking me

also wanted to mention that toji having money and being a present dad is so heartwarming and i love that despite mamaguro there’s room in his heart for reader (fix you put me through it at the time lmao) and the sims are so cute 🥰 since i’m a woc (black) i already imagined yui to look like the sim except for my skin and hair texture so seeing it had me like kai, your mind ☺️ but also imagining braiding her hair and putting beads in them 🥹😭

me 🤝 kai = same brain

i am highkey rooting for toji bc despite maybe seeing him as ooc may be a thought for others some part of me likes to think that he could have had that in canonverse had things been different which is why the characterization feels right for me. he’s so sweet to reader but also nasty 🤪😂 and the kids get along too so i am heavily invested in that. also when it was mentioned reader wanted three kids she already has yui and if toji is endgame then megumi is added. would she want more kids even if she had one with toji? i also want to see megumi accidentally call reader mom (despite mothergate with “n***mi”) but at the same time have both megs and toji being shocked but liking the new dynamic since reader isn’t taking anyone’s spot or icing out others

now idk if you’re going to do an epilogue for sundered or a different piece set in the au (and honestly i’m just down for the ride either way) but the way you explore the family dynamics and reveal the psychological aspects just tickles my brain so i’d like to see yui’s thoughts and perspective and just her being mommy’s little angel menace to society and delivering the karma to both of them. whether its naomi and satoru and his mom being ripped a third buttcheck bc she’s over it or just her reading them all for filth bc she knows the truth

i think to make it easier for my thoughts on each chapter i will do separate ones with slight commentary that way i don’t spam your ask box lmao (meaning i will redo reviews on each chapter bc i genuinely love talking about the fics with you! you make it fun and also you don’t get annoyed when i’m constantly standing outside your askbox or when i’m cussing out the characters on main lmfao 😂💕

i also think that ill do it for the rest of the series i’ve read from you just bc i know you’re an author im comfortable with talking to and ive been around even before permanent mark despite that being the start of reaching out. i think it’ll be fun for me and maybe to you but honestly maybe its just bc i talk a lot lmao and that we both are down bad astronomically for toji. also off topic bc this was a review and turned into a platonic confession/appreciation post but i saw you are a leo and it made my heart feel full bc my mom is a leo too lmao

- paragraph/theory aka paratheory anon

that statement abt how you feel abt satoru is just the way i feel abt him whenever i write. i just start scolding him like im not the one making him say or do those things, it's funny when i think abt it now LMAO and toji being ooc JDKSLSL that's true😭 but for me, it's bc i headcanon him as being really good w kids and family stuff. his life in jjk's just ...not the right place to show that side of him and it makes me hurt for him so bad bc where is he gonna put that soft side now😭 i enjoy writing him like that, ngl. and yui's pov would be so interesting and cute😭 depending on how it'll end, it'd be fun to see what she thinks and how she acts abt it as she grows !! anwww omg yess im a leo, that made me feel warm, paratheory anon, thanks so much 🥺♥️ your asks are always great reads<33

Fill out this form and give your RP partners both present and future all the of juicy jumping off points they need to help you get your characters acquainted. Be sure to tag the players whose characters YOU want more cues to interact with, and repost, don’t reblog! Feel free to add or remove sections as you see fit. Template here.

Mun name(s): Kalani, General, Killer (gamer name lmfao) Mun pronouns: Any I don't mind!! OOC Contact: Discord (ask if we're moots!) & tumblr ims

Who the heck are my muses anyway:

My muselist is a little all over the place! If the bio to each character doesn't cut it, ask me instead for how they are! Most are military, few are ex-military, one's a horse, there's a cult leader in amongst all of it. You name it, I probably have it.

Points of interest:

Some of them are kinda boring (in my opinion LMFAO) and most of the weird shit is from the Far Cry muses, the kinda cooler ones imho are the zombie-genre ones. Check them all out anyway I recommend it <3

What they’ve been up to recently:

The most important character arc for Voice right now, is acceptance at the fact that no matter what he does he can't change history when it comes to Joseph. What's done is done. The other most important character arc is for Joseph and that's just realising he's traumatised and seeking therapy that "actually works". Lots of others ofc on the blog but those two are the main ones lmfao-

Where to find them:

Most can be found in America! Some (Dead Island) can be found on Banoi. In SBY some can be found floating in space between Gamilas and Earth. Borderlands it's a wildcard on where they'll be you'd have to check bios on that lmfao. Expedition characters are on Darwin IV, but can also be dragged to other places! Far Cry 3 is on two islands, depending on North or South island, will decide on who you meet. Far Cry 4 is the same deal, only taking place in Kyrat! New Dawn is a post-Apocalyptic America. Far Cry 6 takes place in Yara. Protect the boy if you go there! Frontier is an 18th century historical drama for America/Canada. I only care about Cobbs/Grant though- RAGE is a post-apocalyptic world once again. Which world? Yes. Silver Brumby actually takes place in Australia but Brolga is a helluva fun muse to interact with!

Current plans:

Specific upcoming arcs are hard to think of when I keep changing my characters, how they act, etcetc, but there is one exploring how Joseph became the Voice, I'm just figuring out how to do it :3

Desired interactions:

Enemies to lovers, lovers to enemies, lovers to enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, enemies to-

Offered interactions:

All depends on the character one is interested in! Remember to look at the bios for each character. For example as a leader, there better be a good reason someone would want to meet Dessler and Joseph Seed. As an important person someone needs a good reason to meet a military figure like Gimleh, Ryder, Knoxx, etc. Just find the one that works for you!

[scalproie]

It's crazy just how good the animated movies are for Hanzo and Kuai to an extent (the extent being made since his modern take was only really in the 2nd movie while snow blind is more of an au but it is still really great)

Like they get that he's vengeful, he doesn't want to make peace he's here to avenge his entire being, but he still somewhat cared for the earthrealm group enough to not fight them, to tell him to hide and not die trying, and to even saving them all in Revenge.

And then in Battle of the Realms, UGH, so great. They know he lingers in the middle because he's not entirely altruistic, but he's good. He knows hes done awful things and would let Kuai finish him if it ultimately meant the saving of all realms. He is tired but unwilling to just lay down and croak.

And Kuai is like his usual self but with more spite towards Hanzo is so intense and interesting. It really makes him feel human.

Like sure the overall plots for both movies are a bit all over the place but SubScorp is so fucking good in both. Kinda like the actual game plots now that I think about it. Huh.

But god, the music, the voice acting, the way Hanzo is treated as a main character, hell THE main character in Revenge. I'm glad they actually did give him top billing cause hot take but Hanzo reaaally doesn't get as much screen time in games as much as people think. Extra skins and cover arts sure, but not a lot in game stories.

those movies are SO bad (I should know, Ive watched each more than 10 times) and Jeremy Adams is my mortal enemy but yeah as usual the ninja storyline is the most entertaining and compelling one.

The Shirai Ryu massacre in the first movie is literally the best part of it and then its all downhill from here and it makes you, the viewer, instantly sympathize with hanzo bc you want to root for this guy, hence making you buy him being a lot "nicer" and a LOT MORE reasonable than he usually is/should be this time around. Scorpion in Revenge IS OOC compared to his previous incarnations but its not necessarily a negative if the details of that aspect and incarnation of him are explored thouroughly, which they are not due to the lack of time and focus bc its a 1h20 minute long movie and lack of good writing and yknow, SUBTLETY, the mk:legends movies are corny as hell. Mandatory Dam "MK: Legends shouldve been an animated tv show à-la Invincible" Argument.

I do agree with you that in game, Scorpion does NOT get as much focus as people think he does, not a hot take at all in my book, but my own hot take is that hes also sidelined in Revenge, HIS OWN MOVIE, bc he has to share more than half his screentime with the entire tournament, like, introduction of liu kang, raiden, sonya, johnny, shang and the gang, the rules of the tournament... Quan chi gets focused on well enough as the antagonist, bc well, hes the main antagonist, but the third character thats CRUCIAL to his story, bi-han, the ACTUAL bi-han, is LAUGHINGLY underused. The actual bi-han has less than three lines. THE ACTUAL SCORPION AND SUB ZERO FIGHT BARELY LAST A MINUTE.

Also since I talked about quan chi. What the hell. His entire reason for doing All That to hanzo was so hanzo could be reborn as a wraith he could manipulate to infiltrate shang's island to get the key of shinnok back, AND HANZO DOESNT EVEN DO THAT, HE DOESNT EVEN DO HIS ONE JOB, and they NEVER show quan chi being upset about that??? What was the POINT OF ALL THAT THEN??? Quan chi goes to fucking... BRAG to hanzo's dying face, as hes chilling there impaled with bi-han, that he killed his family FOR NO REASON WHEN IT WOULDVE MADE SENSE THAT HE REVEALED EVERYTHING TO HANZO TO MAKE HIM MAD BC HES MAD HIMSELF THAT HANZO DIDNT BROUGHT HIM THE KEYKFJDURVF??? WHY.

One genuine interesting thing also is that Scorpion begins and finishes his entire story arc in a single movie, this being: happy life -> losing clan, wife and child to the lin kuei and sub zero -> dying -> coming back as a wraith for revenge and entering the mk tourney -> killing sub zero -> finding out quan chi orchestrated everything -> killing quan chi -> ??? unexplored area, and THAT is smth I wanna see, with his arc ended, scorpion really has the opportunity to mature as a character.

Which brings us to Battle Of The Realms and yeah, its interesting that scorpion (hanzo) and sub zero (completely) COMPLETETY switched personalities with each other. Surprise! Sub zero is ALSO OOC in legends: sub zero has always been the cool-headed voice of reason while scorpion is the impulsive one, here it's the opposite because scorpion has nothing else to do, nothing driving him other than a general goodness within him wanting him to not let the world get destroyed. Legends Scorpion is not and has never been in a grey morality area because every single one of his decisions have been good.

You fucking know I love the fire temple confrontation between scorpy and subz, how do you see that chin tilt and the way scorpion says "That's what makes you different... That's what makes you better." in THAT tone of voice and not go crazy. But if you think about it, Scorpion is PROJECTING LIKE CRAZY onto this lin kuei. The only thing kuai has done that couldve deserved this epiphany from hanzo was that he agreed to tag-team attack with him to stop the cyber lin kuei, and that was mere seconds ago, and then he tried to kill him. Again. If anything, Kuai is MORE revenge-driven in botr than Hanzo was in revenge. His clan is in shambles and his friends are getting turned into robots but no he see his brother's murderer and its on SIGHT, and we didnt even see him having a similar kill bill reaction as scorpion did in revenge when he saw bi-han. WE know Kuai is good because we have known the guy from his 30 years of history, but in mk:legends, hanzo took one hell of a gamble with this guy, which of course turned out to work in his favor. I also disagree that hanzo did awful things, the only thing that's adressed is the killing of bi-han and not only we know he has been tricked into doing it, but we 1) never saw kuai liang and bi-han interact at all to make us sympathize as to why kuai is so determined to avenge him and 2) we never fucking see anything of bi-han in the first place. Hanzo has virtually nothing to atone for and that he is willing to give his life to the guy whose brother he mistakenly murdered only if he promises to help save the world is yet another testament to how good he is compared to that same guy who tried to literally stab him in the back a few seconds earlier.

I WILL give botr one major W for being the only instance that gave us Kuai crying on screen, THIS was good, THIS is why the ninja storyline is the best thing out of these movies.

If you take the gay glasses off for a second, I'm pretty sure scorpion shoving sub zero out of the way when the temple of shinnok collapses is a call back to the original storyline of scorpion being sub zero's guardian, and its the only "save" between the two thats kinda. Just there because🏳️‍🌈. But still.

If you just ignore the rest, the Subscorp is so fucking quality in mk:legends. its genuinely one of its accidental saving point.

Btw dont let my rant fool you into thinking I hate those movies, I fucking love them so much. The timeline theyve built has incredible potential thats, as my favorite blue guy once said, wasted. And I love MY personal interpretations for them so much, but personal interpretations doesnt mean its actually textual, yknow? Long story short: those movies sucks so bad, I love them so much Im gonna rewatch them for the 20th time.

Have a subz

[bojackhorsemanobviously]

OOC:// I hope this is okay, but I've kinda been itching to say that the therapist bojack/ cartman and related threads that I've come across are so cool in concept and really well written on both sides! I definitely enjoy SP for what it is, but something about that dynamic kinda makes me wish it could be more story/ character arc driven like in BJH's storytelling. I don't think SP would ever go in a direction like that (without it ending horribly, especially for cartman), so it has been cool to see that explored.

Also, I'm not entirely sure how to put this into words, but I kinda like how you don't seem to put characters through behind-the-scenes reception arcs via headcanons before writing them. If they canonically have struggled with things or have negative traits, your characters aren't so reformed that those things won't come up or be a problem again. It seems like you stay really true to the idea that characters have the complexity to say and do inexcusable things, but still not have to be written as a story antagonist 100% of the time because of that. It's definitely more interesting when characters don't have to either be watered down into sweethearts, or get completely vilified and live on the fringes of society with no positive connections.

Thank you! The amazing write of bojack horsman definitely helped with how i write him obviously (: I just like the idea of him having people around to care about him and vice versa as the show kinda ended rather bittersweet with him losing diane ): , though i love the message of accountability and how suicide is not the desirable outcome. people that think it would be better are so not understanding why bojack fans relate toe him i tell ya it aint due to how he treated sarah lynn/penny but more so depression/mother issues /a desire to belive you can be better even after being awful. The idea of bojack being anyone's therapist to cartman to me felt very bizzare even though it was my idea but i thought it be fun. I think on n some level it felt like he would hate the idea but when he's doing well, the advice he has for friends is rather decent mainly in s6 with dianes depression. and being a kids therapist would only work in south park really where they don't care at all about kids security. its def been fun to have him react to the insanity .. he spent his life wanting to be in a sitcom and when hes in one that happens to have mass murderor eric cartman its just too much man he can't cope xd. I find the idea of writing characters as perfect saints or devils to be massively boring, a trend i've eyed in other fandoms example azula has been treated as a misunderstood poor woobie who did nothing wrong ever and abusive ursa/iroh are to blame for her shengaians .. and it drives me crazy. ive also heard tales of zuzos woobification that come off as to me as imperfect victims with anger issues are unloveable if we don't remove their flaws. its very jarring to see angry charactres get turned into soft meowmeows. the south park fandom itself struggles to deal with Stan, Kyle and Butters, even Kenny being less than perfect. Stan being a shitty boyfriend? OOC. Butters being sexist OOC.. despite it being a real occuring trait of his for many many seasons.. as well as his own violent temper issues due to all the abuse he endures but cartman? not being evil and caring for his friends thats OOC.. its a real annoying problem in fandoms something I have zero desire to embrace. I love bojack due to his flaws, not inspite of em flaws make characters more empathiic, if you remove em they become stale and boring.

It's definitely more interesting when characters don't have to either be watered down into sweethearts, or get completely vilified and live on the fringes of society with no positive connections. Yes I agree its why the ending while it made me cry it was nice to see bojack still have friends like Todd/ Mr. Peanutbutter/ aquaintess with PC .. tho I think Mr. PB is prob his best friend now.. even if hes still obessed with whoever erica is.. I feel the show also left open the possibilites that even if he did relaspe, he could always get better.. as Todd says. which is a better message than fools thinking ole bobo should have stayed dead, that would have been so much more damaging to fans of the show.. and a terrible terrible ending. so while i wish diane/him stayed buds at least he has a few friends and isn't.. dead...

thanks for the ask (:

[storiesofsvu]

Hey bestie! I just wanted to ask how come you no longer write fics for Olivia anymore as they're really good (as is all your writing haha) and if you know any other SVU writers that take requests for her?

Easy answer: i simply dont want to.

Longer answer: i never really enjoyed writing for her. Esp smut. I see her as more of the supportive momma benson vibes. I originally wrote for her as I was starting out & exploring the fandom and all the characters. Then i started to get req’s for her that were suuuuuper ooc. Like, really degrading, rough shit that olivia would never do. I also just am general meh about her as a character, there’s better more interesting characters in the fandom to write for than her. (Imo)

Writers/fans also flow through fandom, we fixate on one character/show for a while & then it can change when we start watching something else, or there’s no new content for said characters and we’re left uninspired & underwhelmed.

And while it *can* be easy to just churn out a quick one shot, i prefer to delve deeper into stories where I can work through layers & interactions & relationships, so i write a lot more series rather than one shots now cause thats what kind of ideas ive been coming up with (and my inbox has been rather dry for req’s for one shots too)

So… yeah….🤷🏼‍♀️

As for other writers i honestly dont know. Most of the svu writers i know only write ships or for the boys. Sorry.

[murphysiblings]

I couldn't really get into deh but when I watched it (barely remember it tho) I but found connor & zoe's dynamic and evan and his mom's the most interesting part. I'd heard good for you ooc a ton and finding out it was a mom singing that was crazy. The first dynamic not really getting explored as much as I wanted can't be helped much since he's dead (and there's still stuff from Zoe) but I didn't like how they handwaved the second one away. Sort of how they do in bmc with a bunch of stuff they'd brought up on the second act, which is the musical that I have a similar 'i love its potential' relationship to. it's lamer in my case tho bc I'm a full grown adult and I knowww the target audience is teens but I still can't help to want to 'fix it'.

god yeah i love evan & heidi's dynamic too (i actually made a web weaving post abt it a while back lol) i wish the show could've been explored it more instead of just making it out like evan was just the one in the wrong when its a lot more complicated than that (& honestly i feel like if u really think about it heidi isn't really in the right here, its mostly her own insecurities about being a parent making her lash out at evan) . i don't like how a lot of ppl seem to just ignore how possessive & emotionally dependent heidi seems to be on evan ("you're the one good thing that's ever happened to me", her parts in good for you sounding like a jealous girlfriend, etc etc) . i agree that the family relationships & the potential for the characters' dynamics with each other is the most interesting part of the show , but unfortunately it doesnt get as much attention within the story as i would like .

also i dont think theres anything embarrassing about wanting to "fix" or change parts of a story just because its aimed at a younger age group . i mean i know when im older ill still care a lot about deh bc its had me in a chokehold since i was 11 years old & ive accepted that theres no escaping it at this point . but seriously theres nothing like, wrong or inherently Lesser about stories made for/about teens. i wish there wasnt such a stigma around engaging with them as an adult

[doing-something-unholy]

Hella ooc but can't resist the cute asf cat xD

We adopted a born in the wild rescue kitten (maincoon/European wild cat mix, looks a lot like yours just darker) last October and I can confirm they are very friendly and tiny (they will grow, don't worry), my boy loves to cuddle, especially in my shirts, but it took him a while to get accustomed to his new habitat and he isn't a fan of strangers (understandable). So yes even feral cats can be this trusting and cuddly. They do love building nests, so good luck with finding your socks. Hope you have a great time with the new addition to the family

Best wishes, a fellow cat dad the Professor

Aww give him some extra scritches from me! <3

This is the youngest cat ive ever owned i think, the others were all old enough to have been spayed/neutered. Except the one that just passed a few months ago, maybe? but he was 18 so i dont really remember for sure 😅

But yeah the baby has her own room to acclimate but we've been letting her explore for a few hours every day, and putting her away while everyone is either at work or asleep. Mostly to give our other cat a break, who is Not happy about no longer being princess of the house lmao. The little one is very curious about everything, but she also wants to be around me all the time, so i think shes decided im her Person, which is unfortunate because so did our other cat 😬 im hoping they'll learn to like each other (or that older one will calm down, at least) so my bed doesn't become the site of world war three.

[illusioncanthurtme]

(I'm kind of responding to this, as well as the responses people have left on this post)

I can't make some sort of in-depth analysis, just due to the fact that I haven't actually watched it since it came out. Tbh, most of what I know about it comes from the parts I remember, screenshots and stuff, and what other people on tumblr have said about it.

So do I like it? I have no idea. It's been too long. I could rewatch it, but I am willing to admit upfront that the reason I love iz (and why ive been really into it lately) is mostly - or at least has has its roots in - nostalgia. So I'm hesitant to rewarch florpus, because I know it's going to be really different from the invader zim I know and love. And I'm enjoying this nostalgia trip, and I don't want to tear myself away from that by seeing these nostalgic characters in a different context. And I think that's the root of why people don't like it much: it's just doesn't have the same vibe as the old iz.

That being said, different doesn't equate to bad. People have pointed out that not only the art style is different, but also the personalities of the characters, and the nature of the writing, etc. And at face value, I think it's purely that way because this is a MODERN iteration of invader zim. It's not going to be like the OG (dark, gritty), because that's not how cartoons are now, that's not the trend. (Thats not a complaint - cartoons will always have select styles, visual and writing, that get made into feature shows, and the norm will continue to change and cycle.)

Today, cartoons/animated movies make the emotional journeys of their characters the focal point. You see this with the moment at the end with membrane. People are saying that was ooc and maybe Not Good considering how neglectful - amongst other things - membrane is towards dib/gaz. Which i get, but also, i feel like the florpus membrane is probably supposed to be an overall better guy. For the writers purpose, for them to make a heartfelt dad and son moment, they wanted a good dad who realizes his wrongs. Does that really fit the vibe of the og show? No, but I feel like florpus is less of a real "canon" continuation of the original, and more like "au where invader zim is a show made today."

You see that in the art style - everything being round obviously, but also the backgrounds. The sky was never blue in the og, and I've been wondering if that's because of pollution or something - that the sky is literally darkened from human impact on earth. And that would have been too dark for the florpus, because it's a *modern* animation made for kids.

I feel like I'm rambling a bit, but basically, I'm saying that the difference between the two is solely because of trends, and how cartoons have changed. If you went to an animation company today, and pitched a cartoon where an alien tries to take over earth, even IF your pilot was all dark and gritty, and your aliens nemesis was all annoying and maladjusted, they would still take the concept and massage it until it fits the mold of cartoons today. Which is bright and round and has blatant emotional exploration of its characters.

If you're like me, and find comfort in the nostalgia of the og iz, the florpus isn't gonna be super satisfying, which is fine. That wasn't the purpose of the movie. I think florpus by itself was probably a perfectly fine movie (again, I haven't seen it in a while, but I remember liking it), but if you try to get the same sort of enjoyment from it as you do the original, you're going to be disappointed. It's a good movie if you agree to acknowledge the disconnect between it - and the show.

ETF is very different from the series but i kinda enjoy it?

Like, the atmosphere of the setting is way less grim and macabre, and we even had some very aww emotional moments (because it's a film and films have a different episode structure). And well, i'm a sucker for happy endings, so it was nice to see Professor Membrane and Gaz have some touching moments with Dib. (i just wanna them to heal ok) (it's a start at least)

Basically i like to see the differences between the series and ETF as if they were the consequences of the timeskip.

Gaz very explicitly worrying about her brother's well being + Dib imposing himself on his father because both of them (Gaz and Dib) are more mature, the sky is more beautiful because idk maybe it's some invention the Professor made to help the Earth??

ETF gives me a hopeful, somehow healing and comforting atmosphere, and it feels nice

But then again, i'm a sucker for happy endings and healing

Now about the designs, i liked the colors in general, but it's my most vibrant and "happy" color style.

I really liked Dib's ghost shirt, since i study character design a lot, this says a lot about him. I just didn't like the red sneakers so in my re-imagined version i draw him with a black all star (i like to leave the goth boots for when he's older). And now he has more hair lol (i like to leave the undercut for when he's older too)

Gaz was the one with the biggest redesign, and just like Dib i liked her new shirt. But in my re-imagined version i mix her design from the series with ETF, i like to imagine her with a long-sleeved striped shirt underneath.

I don't have much to say about Professor Membrane's redesign, but i liked the small changes, he's not so skinny anymore and has more hair too

Also ETF gave me things i always wanted to happen:

- Alternative realities

- Professor Membrane being a good present father

- Touching moments between the Membrane family

- Zim discovering the mission was a lie

- Zim (almost) winning for real

- ANIME IZ!! (my 13-year-old self can rest in peace)

- The trial scenario

So yeah, i really like the movie, i had a lot of fun.

It's a great film to end the IZ franchise to me.

also tell me your opinions! i wanna hear it

[researchercoffee]

hey coffee, if you could have one wish, what would it be?

Just a day to be normal. no powers. no seeing impossible shit. no disconnect. no managing of idle thoughts that could outright destroy everything without me conciously doing so. No seeing my entire, endless life at once while also going through it all. not know about what I am beyond myself. to be able to talk to someone and not feel like I'm going to accidentally break anything.

I wanna talk to my freinds face-to-face, but without knowing what the conversation will be, without feeling like I'm being squished into an impossibly small space just to interact with people.

To know what's around me is real, not a construct, not made by me, not changed by me.

To be able to play catch with my kid in the park, and not have all the stares. to be able to look more like a normal girl (im keeping that dammit) than something out of a body horror exibit. To be able to pat my pets, but not have them be connected to me by the waist. To have a heartbeat that I have to keep pumping myself at all times, so my body actually feels almost alive.

I want to walk to the fucking Starbucks down the street, order a fucking coffee with a side pastry, pay for it, have it delivered, eat and drink like a normal person, and LEAVE.

I want to remember things naturally. Be able to forget.

I want to be able to touch something, and be able to interact with it without treating it like the most fragile thing in the fucking universe. I wanna be able to hug someone, and be able to enjoy it. To not feel fucking everything happening everywhere all at once. To accidentally get a papercut on my finger, and be able to worry about it instead of worrying about the saftey of your coworkers because your fucking blood is made of pure fucking infohazards. To not have to feel the weight of literally all of existance pressing on me, making me see everything, making me experiance it all, but not being able to do jack shit about most of it, because doing so would be so much worse. To be able to fucking EXIST without feeling like I am putting everyone in danger, that no powerful entity will try to find me and end up destroying everything I hold dear.

I want to be able to see someone without instantly seeing every single subatomic particle they're made of, memorizing it, and mentally copying the entire person into memory as a knee jerk reaction, because you're afraid you'll forget them too hard in your concious mind and have them be erased from existence.

To be able to go up to the person I have a fucking crush on, tell them I fucking love them, and actually get to Be with them.

I want to be able to go to my weird fucking job, see my short amazing gremlin bosses, sit at my spot I use in the break room instead of my office, and realize I forgot the paperwork in the office, and have to go back to grab it physically, before coming back. To be able to do some fucking paperwork myself, at my own real pace. To sip my coffee, savor the taste of it, and then get up to wash my cup and make another pot of coffee. I want to be able to drive back home to a house that I own due to the Foundation, chanve into casual clothes, and watch some fucking TV, and not know ANYTHING about it. To be able to actually feel sad and cry when I think the dog is in danger and wont make it. To have to clean up my mess of a face due to how hard I cried. To be able to order a pizza, and eat it, and nothing else. Not the box. not the bag. not soda bottle. I just want to eat a few slices of pizza a bite at a fucking time, and save the rest for leftovers because I'm too full to finish more then half of it.

To be able to actually taste my coffee in the morning.

I just. Want to feel real again. Just for a day. That's all.

how you two met

you were sitting on the edge of the cliff.

you were looking at the sunset with an empty look in your eyes until you felt a soft

chuckle and someone sitting next to you.

you quickly looked beside you, it was a boy wearing green clothing.

he smiled and gave you his hand ; “I’m venti, you?” he asked, biting an apple.

“mhmm.. I’m [name].” you replied, he stood up and asked you ;

“pretty name. want me to show you around ? you don’t look like you’re

from here.. ehe !!” he asked, giving you one of his hands to help you stand up.

you gave him a smile and then stood up with the help of his hand.

you two walked around and around the city and explored every corner of the land.

late at night, you two were sitting on grass, next to each other.

he has a tired face expression and he rested his head on your shoulder, closing his eyes shut.

you couldn’t help but close your eyes too.

⋆·˚ ༘ *

a few years went by, and you had developed feelings for him but you never had a chance to tell him.

you were sitting next to him at the tavern , he was completely drunk.

“mm… [name] , can you help me with something?” he asked, you replied with a small “mhm??”

“well.. there’s actually someone I like, and.. I don’t really know how to confess to them hehe..”

you gulped.

you were nervous, he already had someone in mind. but you were happy as long as he was happy.

so you helped him, with a forced smile.

“well, who is it?” you tried to stay calm as possible.

he came closer and whispered into your ear

“traveller !!” he whispered and let out a small giggle.

you were upset. you knew it was wrong to be upset but you couldn’t control it.

“uhm..I’m…im gonna go home.” you said, trying to not let tears flow out.

you tried to distance yourself from him, not wanting your feelings to grow.

it’s been about two weeks, you prayed that venti wouldn’t notice.

early in the morning, you were awoken by a knock on the door.

you went to open it, it was venti holding a bouquet of flowers,

smiling happily.

“good morning ~ I came here to ask something.” he completely ignored you and walked

into your home.

“wow.. your place is pretty neat.” he commented,

sitting on your bed.

“you can’t just come in here as you please, broke bard !!” you replied,

venti put the flowers on the table.

“why have you been avoiding me ? have I done something wrong?” he asked,

with adorable eyes.

“n..no.” you nervously replied as you laid your eyes on the flowers, face red.

venti cupped your cheeks, making you turn your face to him.

smiling and teasing you in a playful voice.

“archons !! ~ your face is so red !!” you tried your hardest to

look away in an embarrassed way.

“alsooooo ~”

“travelers going to come stay in mondstadt for a while !!

isnt that exciting?? i can finally have a chance to confess !!”

you had an empty look on your face again, you were pissed.

but tried your hardest to keep a smile.

“well.. let’s go outside and talk to her then.”

he was happily holding your hand while hopping and walking,

while you had a headache and let out a long sigh.

there she was, the blonde attracting everyone’s attention.

venti immediately let go of your hands to run to her happily,

screaming out her name while you watched in jealousy.

venti ran to hug her with a smile on his face.

they hung out the whole day, and the worst part was you had to watch your crush

act clingy with another woman.

when you felt left out from the attention he was only giving to her, he would

call out your name happily and encourage you to smile more.

but when lumine was temporarily going to liyue, you and him were alone.

sitting at the roof of your house together.

then, venti came closer to you and kissed your cheek, an “ehe” was followed after.

you blushed.

the next day you saw a letter on your table, reading

“[name] ~~~~ come see me at the windrise tree !! i need to practice

my confession for lumi !!”

you sighed and then you went to the tree.

“ah , youre here, lumine.” he said.

“there’s something I need to tell you.”

..

“I’ve had these feelings for a while now and..”

“I think I love you, will you be my windblume, lumine?”

there was something in his colorful eyes that

you needed. something about his personality and his adorable looks

that made you fall in love with him.

⋆·˚ ༘ *

on the day that venti had to confess to lumine

you sighed heavily, but him being happy made you happy, so you went along.

there was nothing you can do anymore, if he was happy, then you let him find his happiness.

and that piece of happiness was not you being with him, it was lumine.

it was late at night, you were sitting alone on the place that you and venti met.

until you got a phone call.

it was from venti

you sighed but in a joyful way.

“hello? what’s wrong , venti?”

“behind you.”

you looked behind and saw him, holding a bouquet of cecelias.

you blushed, you were surprised

he came to sit next to you.

“how did the confession with lumine go? are you two..”

your sad tone of voice came back.

“together now..?”

he closed his eyes with a smile,

“actually..”

“well.. I don’t know how to tell you this but you’ll understand.”

he kissed you as your eyes widened in shock, blushing.

“what ?! what about.. lumine??”

“ehe.. there was no lumine. actually..

after lumine left, I started feeling different for you.”

he was on his serious side.

he handed you the bouquet of cecelias, asking a genuine question.

“will you be my windblume?”

⋆·˚ ༘ *

you were shinobus best friend, it was a sunny afternoon when she took you to meet itto.

he was so fucking hot.. you were shy to talk to him so whenever

his energetic personality would try to make a conversation with you,

you’d blush and turn the other way.

it was until he hugged you from behind, feeling the warmth of his arms around your shoulder.

you had a surprised face.

accepting the hug as he smiled playfully.

“just call me itto okay? shinobu told me that your name is [name], right ?!”

“mhm. nice to meet you, itto.”

and that’s how you and itto met, months and months passed by.

it was something about him that make your heart feel things. his energetic, happy personality,

his hot looks, and the way he treats people.

he may look tough on the outside, but the way he plays with the children says otherwise.

under one of the sakura tree, it was finally decided for you. you wanted to confess your feelings.

so you called itto to talk to him, he ran to you, panting when he arrives.

“sorry, I didn’t..hah want to be late.”

you smiled softly.

“itto. can I talk to you about something?”

“of course !!” he said.

just as you were about to tell him about your feelings, he stopped you.

“wait, I actually have something I wanted to tell you.”

..?

“[name] , I think I have feelings for sara.. can you help me confess?”

your heart dropped.

but he always supported you, always happy to see you happy, of course you had to support him too.

that evening, you and shinobu were sitting next to each other in front of the public

bathroom.

not knowing itto was shitting on the fucking toilet, listening 😭

“shinobu, I tried talking to itto about my feelings today and..”

“he told me he liked sara.”

she sighed, rubbing your back to try console you.

“that fucking oni is so clueless. well.. since youre too shy,

just scream out what you wanna say to him.” shinobu replied, both of you two

not knowing that he was near you two.

you sighed, standing up

“I FUCKING LOVE YOU ARATAKI ITTO YOU DUMBASS ONI!!!”

itto was still on the toilet, listening.

canon divergent/finale fix its

Anamnesis

THIS! FIC! this fic lives in my head rent FREE it is so good and it makes so much sense in the narrative that the shitty finale concocted, as to why they wouldn't mention cas or anyone else and its just. so good and they write chuck in the most villainous way that i love!!!

"Chuck is depowered, Jack is the new god, and the world is free. Dean and Sam get into the Impala and chase down the miles on an endless highway, and their story is finally, finally their own to follow. At least, that's what Dean tells himself. But the diners and motels and painted interstate lines are blurring together and the smallest details keep catching at his brain like tiny fishhooks and he can't quite shake the feeling that not everything is exactly as it should be. Fix-it/alternate series finale. Canon-compliant through the end of 15.19."

"Post-canon fix-it, divergent from 15x19 where Jack stays and Dean doesn't die and Cas comes back and everyone is happy. Take a shot every time I'm salty about the finale."

Keep Your Love Alive

okay. okay okay okay this may be my favorite finale fix it just because of how well reasoned it is. like this feels what should have happened i love it SO much

"Dean gets to spend eternity sharing beers with Bobby on the Roadhouse porch and riding around in his Baby with Sam. He’s at peace… or he feels like he should be. But a few things nag at him: Where is Cas, and everybody else Dean had been hoping to see in Heaven? Why does he feel like he’s stuck in a loop, reliving the same memories over and over again? And who are the strangers wearing Sam’s and Bobby’s faces?"

The GoldenRod Revisions by @aethylas​

this is one of the most well written things ive ever read. the script format DID make it feel more real and honestly? this is better writing than this show deserves. the finale that could have been ♥️

“A rewrite of Supernatural’s final two episodes, expanded into a five episode arc - in which Chuck needs to be defeated, Castiel deserves to be saved, and the characters in this story get a very different ending.“

Ascend by @wanderingcas​ 

THEE finale fix it fic!!! written by the AMAZINGLY skilled and talented @wanderingcas !!! it’s 50k of angst and hurt/comfort and pure bliss

“Something in the world is wrong.

Demon activity is rising where mysterious black substance oozes and unusual ecological events are shaking the world. Dean, grief hanging on his shoulders, restlessly searches for answers that might lead him to the Empty… and to Cas.

But what Chuck wrote can’t be undone. The narrative thread pulls Dean along, forcing him to comply. Because once a story already has an ending, it can’t be rewritten.

Or can it?”

Things Happen (They Do, And They Do, And They Do) by THEE @sobsicles

i KNOW everyone has already recommended this and likely you’ve all already read it. but it has to go here bc REPRESSIOOOOOOOOON i LOVE this so much it is one of the most perfect things i’ve read. are you bisexual? did you have a kind of weird relationship with your best friend and not realize that how you felt about them wasn’t necessarily how other people felt about them and you were maybe a little bit in love with them but were too repressed to realize it? you’ll feel seen. maybe a little too seen

Closer (isn't close enough)

are you a sweet and sappy yet horny bastard? do you like cas exploding light bulbs? you will like this.

“the one where they finally talk about what cas said before the empty took him”

You and Your Husband

it is exTRMELY sweet!!! repression dean strikes again <3

"Five times Dean corrects someone about his relationship with Cas, and one time he realizes he doesn't need to."

Tall Grass

miscommunication and a slowburn! despite being written in 2017 and finished in 2018, it feels like a fix it. ft. plant obsessed cas <3 

Invictus

a LOVELY and short (relatively) finale fix it

“They saved the world. They're free. It's done.

Except it's not, and carrying on is the last thing any of them are thinking about.

They still have someone they need to save.”

Unchained Link

post finale- it’s a great case fic and i am compelled i want more!!!

"It's after the end of things. Life continues on while Dean is "livin it up" in heaven. But it's never that simple, is it? A freak occurrence sends Dean into another time stranded back on Earth. And he thought his hunting days were over. But, no worries. His knight in shining armor comes to the rescue. Hijinks, therefore, ensue."

fun and time unspecified

Ladies and Gentlemen, This is Love Potion No. 5

very funny and sweet! miscommunication at its finest ♥️

"Cas gets drenched with a mystery potion from the ‘love spell’ shelf and... Dean has a sneaking suspicion, angel or no— the spell may have taken effect. And Cas might be in love with Sam."

The Way We Were

Y'all. It is so good its a great mix of funny and serious- extremely fun to see dean as like a base bisexual

"Dean and Castiel pose as a couple to gain access to a gated community known as 'The Glen', a pleasant if secretive location that the boys believe might be linked to several dead bodies showing up over the years bearing signs of ritualistic sacrifice. All seems well until Dean's memory is affected from an incident during a solo exploration, leaving Dean convinced that their cover story is true. Castiel is left trying to resolve their case without taking advantage of an increasingly enthusiastic Dean"

While You Were Sleeping

this is basically just the movie but replacing sandra bullock with cas. this is my comfort movie and imo, one of the most perfect rom coms. the fic isn’t finished but i still have the tab open on my phone and i will straight up go back and re read it when i need a pick me up. 

aus/rewrites

The Harvelle Gospels: Offscript

i know everyone ever ( @jewishcharliebradbury ) has recommended this fic. and for good reason go fucking read it

“The Apocalypse is averted, the angels are in Heaven, and Jo is free from the threat of possession. Somehow it couldn't be farther from a happy ending.“

absolute riots

An Ineffably Profound Bond

i honestly would have put this in the finale fix it section! look. i know. i know you've been burned by crossover fics before. but this is Thee good omens/spn fic you want. its funny as hell and immensely satisfying. im weak for everyone working together tropes and that is this

"After Chuck sets 'The End' in motion, the remaining members of TFW make a miraculous escape. Not willing to waste any time, Castiel comes up with a plan to travel to one of the other worlds to try and get help from the angels there, but after a fight with Dean, it's the hunter who gets sent into an alternate universe,with seemingly no hope of return.

When a mysterious human with a heavenly weapon shows up in Aziraphale's shop, he and Crowley learn that their world is not the only one. Now it is up to them to decide whether or not they want to join forces with the human and help him save his world or simply find a way to send him home."

Somebody Up There Likes Me by @lafilleredige

cas is hit with a spell that turns his vessel into a woman, hijinks and sexuality crises ensue etc etc sam is a supportive and bitchy little brother and its all SO fucking funny and also. horny as hell i love it i love it i LOVE it

“’Dean doesn’t want to talk about your breasts, it’s making him uncomfortable because he hasn’t acknowledged the complex fluidity of human sexuality.’“

Stray Cat Strut

a long crack fic that IS one of the funniest things i’ve ever read and i can’t explain why. it’s so ooc but its so funny that i don’t care. if you need a laugh you gotta read this

"Sam and Cas are immediately in love with the adorable kitty they find outside the bunker door, and occupy their time planning how to convince Dean--who they believe is off sulking after a botched hunt--to let them keep their cat. Along the way, Dean learns to use a litter box and hears some confessions he maybe wasn’t supposed to hear, all while realizing just how much he loves Castiel.

Now all Dean has to do is convince Cas and Sam their new pet cat is actually him before they do something crazy--like neuter him!"

canon compliant or slight canon divergence
