He's about to do something. I don't know what, but it's probably not good. XD

Cad Bane for @onoha-arts

Keep making art, I love to see it! 💕

[that-foul-legacy-lover]

Wifi my beloved I have another idea 🤲

Bless the anon that said Legacy would collect stones and rocks and sea shells cause i present to you

Jewel maker! S/o

Hhhh it's such a neat concept I brainstormed a little

From the back of Ajax's mind, Legacy has long been familiarised with your jewellery shop. It's small and tucked in a cozy little corner of Liyue. You make everything by hand, spending hours and hours molding wire and metal (??) into pretty shapes. Unfortunately, that leaves you with very little time to go out and find the best materials yourself, something Legacy's instincts say is very important, so you most likely buy the materials you need.

Nuh uh. Not on Legacy's watch.

He goes out and finds the prettiest crystals and gems and what he recognises as the rough materials of what you use to make your jewellery, just to see the way your eyes light up in shock, then delight.

Now I can't help but wonder what jewellery you'd make for him and Ajax. 👀 Like imagine how pretty moth would be with his armor adorned by gold and glittery jewels, as ethereal as dangerous... And childe deciding that, oh, you gifted him something you made with your own hands? Oh he's never taking it off that's for sure.

(Also imagine proposing to Ajax and Legacy instead of the opposite sksksksk)

oooHHHHH this is so!! cute!!!! i'm a lover of unique pretty jewelry so this is right up my alley :D

Legacy also knows how exhausting your work is, spending hours squinting at tiny, shining components to craft the perfect pieces for your customers. on good days, you're merely fatigued- on bad days, your head thuds with pain and your eyes hurt so much that you can barely see. so your Abyssal moth monster sneaks out while you're at work, searching high and low for all that glitters, every type of rock and stone that you can use in your art. he's not alone- Zhongli usually tags along with him, showing Legacy how to identify the highest quality crystal and cor lapis, occasionally even bringing along the mischievous funeral parlor director, who's all the happier to hang around an intimidating-looking Abyss creature. sometimes Legacy feels the presence of an adeptus or two, the amber he finds unusually pure and vibrant, even glimpsing the far-off aura of the Conqueror of Demons, watching him from far away, and Legacy happily ambles back to your shop at the end of the day, arms full of rough gemstones

you blink in surprise when Foul Legacy pushes the door open and deposits the jewels on your workbench, after he's sure you've put all your tools away. he chirps proudly, rolling a chunk towards you to inspect, and after a moment of shock your face splits into a delighted grin, flinging your arms around Legacy as he rumbles joyfully. you're sure to base some of your next collections off of him, incorporating elegant moth-ish patterns with a splash of stars here and there, gold and silver and deep, rich hues. he trills in delight when he sees the bracelets, necklaces, and earrings you've made, watching you design them from over your shoulder, occasionally nudging your cheek to remind you to rest. his claws wrapped around you give you the perfect opportunity to measure them, discern his ring size so you can make measurements for the sketch on the very last page of your notebook, a custom pair of rings etched with stars, one smaller than the other- one for Ajax, and one for Foul Legacy- for when you finally work up the courage to propose

[positivelybeastly]

First question, what year was Hank born? Second question how might the events going on in our world have affected the characterization of Hank? Beyond the 90s incarnation of the character might make a post about this later…

So, asking for a set birth year for a comic book character is a bad idea, because with very few exceptions, they don't exist. For example, Google tells us that Captain America was born on the 4th of July, 1920.

Or maybe he wasn't? Apparently that got retconned and it isn't 4th of July, but it was 1920? Already we run into problems. COMIC BOOKS.

Outside of very specific characters, they just don't have birth years or birth dates, they exist within the Marvel sliding timescale. If you're not familiar with the sliding timescale, the basic conceit is this:

Modern Marvel comics began in 1961 with Fantastic Four #1. This is essentially the start of the modern Marvel era, and every other superhero group is contextualised in relation to this, pretty much. The Avengers were formed maybe six months, a year later, the X-Men not long after that.

For every 3-5 years that passes outside of comics, 1 year passes inside of comics. E.g. Fantastic Four #1 took place either 13 or 21 years ago, or somewhere in between, it's not an exact science.

As for Hank specifically, well . . .

October, 1983, was contemporary to Hank saying this.

That plot took place in a comic book from 1974, nearly ten years before this, and yet Hank says it's just "a few years ago." So time is passing, but slowly. Hank here is explicitly in his early 20s, maybe 22-23, but the Hank we saw in this week's X-Force #50 was not 40 years older than him. So, how to make it all make sense?

A lot of headcanon and kind of inferring based on contextual hints. Hank is depicted as being roughly 17-18 when he joins the original X-Men, given that he's stated in dialogue to be the oldest of the team, and seems to have been on the verge of graduating high school when his normal human life was interrupted. So, now you just work backwards.

If Hank was 17-18 when the original X-Men were formed, and it's been 21 years since then (referring back to the sliding timescale), then it stands to reason X-Force Beast is 37-38. If he's 38 in our current year of 2024, then logically, he would have been born in . . .

1986!

Which is what I've been running with for as long as I've been writing him. It isn't quite compatible with stuff like this, which is very obviously written in the 60s and set in the 60s, and which explicitly positions Hank as an Atomic Age hero, with radiation based origins and a super scientist pedigree . . .

But eh. We move.

As to the second part of your question

. . . Ooohhhhh boy.

Um.

There's a lot? And I hate to bring it all back to 9/11 and the War on Terror, but it's kind of all about 9/11 and the War on Terror?

Media about terrorism, security, threats to mankind, all looked very different pre-September 11th, 2001. Go back and watch Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and see how Kira Nerys, a character who is explicitly called a terrorist in dialogue, is treated for her actions. She's positioned more as a World War II resistance fighter than anything else. If that show were made now, she would be an intensely different character, because the American cultural and media consciousness has never recovered from that day.

If you want to read more about this, there's quite a lot of academic discourse on how this has all changed. Here's a decent start.

But specifically Hank? Well, the X-Men have had their own 9/11. Multiple times. The Genoshan genocide, as depicted in New X-Men #116, actually just a few months before 9/11. It's entirely possible that this entire storyline might not have been made if it had been written after.

The Xavier Institute bus bombing.

The Decimation.

The X-Men became a beleaguered minority, besieged on all sides, reduced to the island of Utopia, just 198 mutants and falling. Cyclops explicitly became far more ruthless, willing to ally with former adversaries and use kill tactics to get the job done, and you could see his portrayal, the infamous #Cyclops Was Right movement, gaining a lot of steam during this era. People really like this Cyclops.

And where's Hank in this? Well.

He's the moral counterpoint.

People don't like to acknowledge this, and I feel like there might be a degree of cultural difference going on here, but Hank is correct. I feel like it's not even controversial to say that kill teams are bad. Right?

But people hate Hank for this. They think he's a whiny little bitch who won't and can't help, who runs out on his people, who prioritises his morals over being there for the X-Men. People legitimately think this of him.

Hank is the left wing, conscientious objector and anti-war viewpoint. So, naturally, there's a tendency to look upon him as a whiny little bitch. Just look at how shows like 24 contextualise that kind of moral viewpoint.

I do feel like the writers of this era wanted people to at least question who was right, between Hank and Scott, but the readers pretty much unanimously fell on Scott's side, because even as Scott started to use morally corrupt tactics . . .

He wasn't doing it for America, bullying small countries out of their oil in the name of democracy. He was doing it for a marginalised minority metaphor, fighting comic book supervillains, which is simpler, easier to root for. He had to use those tactics, you understand. He was fighting monsters! He was fighting the good fight.

Is 00s era X-Men War on Terror propaganda? I don't know. I'm not a political scholar, though I do have a B.A. in History. Interesting how the fandom seems to view this ideological conflict, though.

Anyway, time moves on, and then something starts to creep into Hank's character. Something that inevitably happens to characters like him.

Anti-intellectualism.

No longer is Hank the moral counterpoint, now he's the intellectual who will lead us all to ruin because he's smarter than he is wise, because he's an idiot with no impulse control.

This characterisation is wholly incorrect and runs contrary to the fact that Hank learned his lesson about unethical experimentation practises in the 70s, in an incident that only harmed him, but whatever. It doesn't matter at this point, does it?

Only people with real world experience, who are level headed, who aren't eggheads, can solve the real problems of the day. People like, uh.

Hmm.

Who does have the solution to the problems of the day?

Ah, I see.

We just forgive him for all the heinous shit he did on Utopia, huh?

All that stuff he did, the releasing bioweapons, the kill teams, that was fine, because he did it to the right people.

Well, that's all right, then.

Mmm-hmm. So much better than the egghead. Look at him in the corner, fumbling around, making more problems than he solves. What a motherfucker.

So, yes, let's talk about American anti-intellectualism.

I don't necessarily think Bendis is anti-intellectual. But I do think he spends a lot of time across multiple comics criticising Beast and valorising Cyclops, considering the worst thing Beast had done up until that point, vandalising the space-time continuum to get the O5 back into the present, was done explicitly so Bendis could play with X-Men with only 8 issues of continuity to keep straight.

But anything Cyclops did? All that X-Force stuff? Ehh. Don't worry about it. The only crime we care about is the death of Charles Xavier, for which Scott was possessed, so we can't make a moral judgement.

It's a whole ass topic, and a lot to get into, but I genuinely do think that Hank is one of those characters who especially suffers when written by a writer who doesn't trust vaunted intellectuals, because he's certainly not going to fucking flourish, is he?

And then it all comes full circle.

Ben Percy, enter the ring.

Wolverine, the unequivocal hero of X-Force. Beast, the unequivocal villain of the series. The heart vs. the head. The man of action vs. the intellectual. The rugged thug vs. the fancy pants necessary bastard.

It's the same thing, just more extreme, really. I think X-Force is meant to be a critique of the CIA? If so, it's an extremely bad one, considering it ends on this note.

Ah yes. Our heroes. The CIA.

I'm gonna quote the frankly incredible @brw here because they put it way better than I could on this point:

"This is genuinely a larger problem I have with Krakoa, is that rather than explore the culpability and complicity of all the characters involved in not just the creation, but the active maintenance and survival of what is, categorically, an eugenicist, oligarchy ethnostate, we instead act as if Krakoa would have been fine if not for Evil Hank/Evil Moira/Evil Sinister for ruining it all for the rest of us.

Because are Sage or Logan ever properly thought to be bad people for standing by as long as they did? It isn't even that X-Force are the people who do the dirty stuff–it's Hank that does that, and the rest of the character get to keep their hands relatively clean, at least narratively. They're sympathetic, or understandable.

Hank is positioned as this demon in the shadows ready to snatch you up and kill you which is a weird decision to make with what you describe as the CIA.

The CIA isn't evil because evil people are in charge of it, the CIA is evil because it is a fundamentally evil institution based off evil systems! Benjamin, you can't write mutant CIA if your closing statement is how awesome the mutant CIA is, and it's a shame about that one evil blue guy that ruined everything for everyone."

Good thing we got rid of that Beast guy! What a fucker, right? Nasty, gross, intellectual pustule he was, with his oily words and grossness. Look at him, reading books. Sage is fine, though, because she doesn't read books. I mean, she's quantifiably grossly incompetent in this series, but we like her better than Beast, so it's fine.

Beast, from the 2000s era onward, is a very political character. It's just a shame that a lot of comic book writers tend to be grossly ill-informed when it comes to actual politics, capable of only surface level hot takes like CIA bad or kill teams good, actually, because now we've gone from 'Beast is the left wing conscientious objector' to 'Beast is the literal anti-Christ,' and I don't really like what that implies about what we think of the former.

But eh. I'm just a writer.

[sallytwo]

I have 3 hours before my plane boards so here’s round 2 of sammy writing 18 paragraphs of the situation with my little Thing. Last time I was like 85% accurate in my predictions . You get proper puncaution for this.

Ok so now we know that Dear Wesley is still off being a traveler. I’m going to set aside the Jack 2 situation for now we will revisit it later but right now we don’t have nearly enough information to bring him into it. So what the biggest question right now is “did Wesley just cut everyone off and disappear off the face of the earth OR is everyone pretty well aware he’s off being a traveler” . Which is a split divide in beta canon so it’s a tossup when it comes to the show too. Let’s get into it.

The whole “wesley comes back every once in a while” thing (which is in like... one or two comics... mostly stuff that came out like Right After journeys end) is a mixed bag. Journeys end presents wesley leaving as like.. him going off to a study abroad or something it’s not treated with much weight. But it sort of undermines the situation and I don’t think just leaving starfleet and going on a little permanent vacation would fix .. like all that. Little Thing’s got Issuesssss.

Also I know Star Trek is terminally terrible at forgetting wesley but considering last season was an ENTIRE SEASON about time travel and fucking up the spacetime continuum and picard being like “ooohhhhh i dont know who could help with this”. If its not lazy writing then there’s gotta be a reason for purposefully not mentioning wesley. ESPECIALLY if they don’t mention him when it comes to Jack 2 . It could 100% be lazy writing I’m just acting on the assumption that maybe its not because that’s way more interesting.

Which leaves us with the “Wesley’s been gone since he left in journeys end and no one knows where the fuck he is” situation. Which is. Looks over the the side. Which is pretty prevalent in beta canon -_- And that makes the whole goodbye scene in journeys end really tragic!! Like Bev didn’t know he was going to just disappear like that and that’s the last time she saw him! #1 Reason I cant watch that scene without! The

The. -_- you cant ever really know thats the last time i’d see my brother ansel.. Moving Onnn. But wesley just being Gone makes a lot of sense continuity wise and sort of explains all these gaps where it makes logical sense to bring him up but no one does. It’s a sort of “no one really talks about him” vibe. I don’t really think wesley would choose to stay away that long but at least it gives significance to him leaving. Which is better than treating it super casually like you don’t just drop off the face of the universe because you’re normal. And ready to come visit every few months. Picard is literally a soap opera show so I wouldn’t be surprised if they went with this option.

Whichhhh leads into speculation for this season. Jack 2 coming forward as Bev’s son like. If they dont mention Wesley at all here I Will Kill Myself consider this my suicide note. So it’s the perfect place to put in a little “well beverly other son has uhhhhh been like... gone...” Just one line is all we need for confirmation.. Please god. It wouldn’t make sense for wesley to be around and somehow not know about his secret brother and be fine with bev just cutting herself off from the crew for 20 years and also not be aware at all of all the time travel shit going on last season.

Little sidenote. Everytime in the show that wes has been in danger bev just fucking shuts down (and vice versa we love the Normal Fucking Crusher Family) . Theres a comic run where she thinks he’s dead for like two weeks and just doesn’t mention it or deal with that at all. So if wes did just drop off the face of the earth. I dont think she would handle it well (or handle it at all!) . Because they’re the only family each other has which leads to this like emotionally distant codependency and if she lost her son. after everything else . I think she would fucking cut everyone off and find this new fucking Thing Jack 2 . I’m not aware enough of what the timeline is for the show but “no ones talked to her in 20 years” … like I would be interested in seeing how that lined up. Especially if no one’s seen wesley in 20 years 🤨 Or the more likely option where she just cut everyone off cuz of Jack II (boring, lame) and everyone collectively forgot about her first gay son! Which the show would absolutely do because the world hates dear wesley crusher. I’m not saying this is an accurate prediction I’m talking what would be NARRATIVELY INTERESTING for the goddamn crusher family!

I’m not going to speculate on like “ohhh who’s jack 2s father is he actually bevs son was he adopted” but if. Star Trek Picard writers looking you tearfully and soulfully in the eyes if we get Jack 2 and Wesley interactions... Literally all I want. Ideal dynamic with Jack being like “UGH I hate my stupid older brother who I never met but everyone compares me too because he tragically disappeared and everyones sad about him all the time and no one can mention him he ruined my life!” and Wes being like. Hi ... am I supposed to know who you are. haha. And just leading to the worst buddy comedy ever. Wes has been shownnnn that he’s good with kids and would be a good brother but I think if Jack’s a little cunt to him (likely) he would be a mean bitch back and it would be the most entertaining TV ever shown ever! Again now likely I KNOW. Brining wes back now after being gone that long with all the drama with bev and jack 2… like it would be so interesting man. Obligatory he doesn’t know why fleet foxes refernce cuz like

Option 2 is that we just have like one singular wesley appearance where he shows up and reveals he’s been gay married this whole time and has been having a well adjusted nice normal time for yearsss while the rest of the crew is fighting among themselves and freaking out and he just didn’t help out cuz he didn’t feel like it. and he’s a bit of a mean bitch and then leaves. Number one most unhelpful person in the universe.

ALSO FINAL MESSAGE TO THE WORLD: If wes could come back and have like. one menaingful interaction with bev. Cuz their relationship was neverrr given the time it should’ve been by tng and i’m like still so mad about it.literally just one scene the bar is on the fucking floor LISTEN TO MY MESSAGE.

The Bad Batch S2 E5 Entombed reaction

Yeee for Star Wars Wednesday!

(spoilers under the cut)

"I love a good junk yard!" <3

Ahh, it's the pirate lady. Tech's not impressed XD

Droid friend Mel!

"She says a lot of things." Pffft I like that response

Omega's got such puppy-golden-retriever energy <3

Hunter checks with Echo before making the final decision--he knows where the brain cell lives in this outfit XD

Well there's actually a planet there, so that's a plus :D

Considering the devesation... is this a weird creepy Sith planet? I'll laugh if it is

...does Phee have a sword?? Nice XD

Huh, so Echo's the one carrying the compass. I wonder if they decided he'd be the least likely to lose it, or if he took it from someone who was throwing it around or something XD

It is a sword! Some kinda long vibrobalde

Ooooh, reaching the hand in and feeling creepy vibes, are we?

Oooooooh, big creepy crawly be stalking them now

Skara Nal - place associated with but older than the Jedi

Aligning symbols--reminds me of Lothal. Booby traps here we come :D

Okay, maybe Phee is a decent person after all--that's the second time she's warned/saved Wrecker from falling debris

Omega to the rescue <3

Droid friend Mel, I hope you're a droid friend and not a droid traitor :D

Hunter senses something...

Ohhh, that is big and UGLY

"It's drooling on me!" Yes, Wrecker, it's also trying to bite your face off XD

Aaaaaand now we're actually trapped

"They'll be fiiiiine!" said in a tone that suggests she's said this phrase many, many times in her life XD

Hunter's a little jumpy now XD

Ope, there goes Hunter! Oh good, he's okay

"We've almost died three times already." Hunter is seriously so done XD

So. Done. XDDD

"Sometime's a door's just a door" love these one-liners XD

Pretty rock! So what kind of booby trap is gonna spring the second they try to pick it up?

...yeah, thought so.

Ooooh this is fancy--oh. Oh my. Maybe fancy is the wrong word.

Run droid friend Mel! (or, y'know, waddle)

Ooohhhhh this machine thing is actually super cool-looking though!

But... what is it? Why is it programmed to destroy everything?

Yeee Hunter! Nice save

Droid friend Mel, RUN!

Nooooo! Bye droid friend Mel :(

Seriously tho, who just leaves this massive instrument of destruction just laying around and configures it to start up on kill mode when the key's removed? Like, why? It seems drawn to other electronics--it targets Mel and the ship pretty quickly--but why? Where'd it come from? Who designed it? Who left it here?

Oh good, droid friend Mel's memory is backed up :)

....so was that a filler episode or plot? Hard to tell, but it was fun XD

Oh lol classic Tom, poor little demon, aww.

Aww he has a name, Petey, aww!!!!

Cheesy postcards lol, speaking of which I also collect postcards.

Oh haha, actually “cheesy” postcards.

And yea Janna, portals are essential!

“Now you’re thinking with portals!”

-Portal

Oh Janna, you crack me up.

Oh Star come on that was unnecessary to throw the book at Petey.

Oh Tom’s; I love you so much was so fricken adorable!!! *SQUEALS*

And a cake In the shape of a mewman that was vegan, geez they are in kahoots with Buddy Valero. (Cake Boss joke you’ll get it if you’ve seen it)

Yeah like the Book of Life States;

“Write you own story!”

-TBOL

Pony is like an angsty teen lol.

Seahorses: O-Oh Y-Yes my dear was adorable.

Now not so much; probation sounds like he came from prison.

Aww Katrina and Star moments, and Katrina has my vote for becoming a famous athlete.

Kaboomsky lol oh and Buff Frog is right life goes by so fast you have to make it count.

Oh shit, Tom take fricken chicken care of Star, Buff Frog is watching you. And Tom is actually sweating from that ordeal oh, Lordy!

Moon actually wants Star to take a long trip, man I wish my parents would let me do that, I’ve always wanted to go to Mexico.

Lol Hunting Class with River sounds fun actually.

Whelp it’s true about the theories on the descriptions being wrong, however a broom, is named Doop-Doop: weird, so weird.

First magic spell oh that’s adorable, and he sounds like Morty from Rick and Morty oh geez.

I fell down and now I can’t get up. Lol

Oh nevermind the description is on point so far. Yay!

and Star comes to Earth yet again aww.

Mariposa is a wonderful name, and she’s so fricken adorable *SQUEALS*

Rafael said what we were probably all thinking.

Aww Star looks so natural holding Mariposa.

Britta’s Tacos:

Well not sure doing nothing is what summers all about I mean I am working half of my summer in Yellowstone.

Hopefully they didn’t kill off Tomstar, that ship is bomb. Forgot to mention that Tom handled his anger pretty damn well.

Hey Sensei and Oskar make a comeback.

Oskar’s still calling him Mango, lol.

Some Jackie x Marco stuff. Ooohhhhh.

Well you did break up that is drama.

Before the reveal:

They keep mistaking him for the father oh no he’s probably going to exploit that.

After the reveal:

Yep he did.

Oh no StarFan13 oh dear. Taco Tuesday man is the best.

Wow mystery dude calm down though your ex sounds really fricken chicken crazy.

Jarco: did you Marco did you

Angus and Ferguson great to see you after two seasons.

AGAIN, I wish my parents would let me study abroad too.

D&D reference.

Starco had a baby lol; oh no!

Whelp a dangerous pepper, is the California Reaper mAking a cameo.

Jackie is back. Again it’s not Marco’s kid.

Hey chole, oh my god is Jackie Lesbian *cheers* you go girl.

And Jarco has it’s closure.

And starco is slowly coming back.

Beach Day:

Pancakes on the couch, bro.

Oh I don’t think Mariposa is supposed to have a quiche this young or that large of a piece.

Also it’s funny that Star has put her bathing suit in the freezer.

Well it is sunny out so beachtime!

Star with the American Flag behind her lol.

and classic morning traffic.

Okay that got dark super fast: like 1984 freaky; “Do I have free will?”

(George Orwell)

Oh geez, driver calm the fricken chicken down.

Also flying car. And darn city smog.

Oh Father Time and Star you do look happy what are you talking about?

Whelp it’s a meme!

“The cake is a lie!”

“The beach day is a lie!”

Oh the time loop, paradox where you do something to your past self and your past self in the future does the same thing, etc.

Too bad the hardest times are still ahead....”

(If this ain’t foreshadowing I don’t know what is?)

Ludo the Sea Mermaid Lol.

Seeing the beach day photo, fills you with determination. Want to save the game?

(Undertale Parody)

It’s a flying shopping 🛒.

Gone Baby Gone:

Puppet show, a finger puppet show aww Mariposa is snuggling with a finger puppet.

Aww Meteora and Mariposa play so well together.

Geez Marco, It’s just Hekapoo.

Also that premonition of it being dangerous to go back to Mewni, means something.

Hey Brunzetta is back baby. And so is Adult (Abs) Marco.

Also Mariposa and Meteora look badass as teens.

Also the thing Meteora said to Marco is freakishly right. (Princess Turdina).

Also the soup looks fricken chicken disgusting.

Ok that’s betrayal and eww that is disgusting as hell.

Food is the answer to everything, lol.

Review: overall the episodes actually all tied together quite nicely and I loved Meteora‘s and Mariposa’s friendship. It’s adorable, also the time loop paradox was really hard to follow but I got it. Starco is coming back from the grave, slowly. I am going to be honest, I really don’t care who anybody ends up with. The whole shipping thing that the show is doing is really unnecessary as it’s creating tensions between the not just the show’s characters but also the fans of the show.

At this point, I don’t care what shipping is endgame, as long as everyone is happy.

Ship meme the doctor and missy

Send me a ship and I’ll tell  you…:

Who would be the big spoon/little spoon?:I feel like; both would be both depending on the day — like they both are able to read each other very very well; and I feel like they would just instinctively know if the other needed or wanted to be held and cuddled… that said; I won’t pretend Missy doesn’t like to play jetpack to the much taller Doctor. 

Who would wake up first?:Again it depends, though I generally feel as though Missy sleeps more, if less soundly. Generally, I would say I think the Doctor probably wakes up first, though sometimes he is probably awakened earlier than he might otherwise have been cause Missy has a tendency to talk and make noises in her sleep because of her night terrors. Since neither of them really need to sleep that much its something of an odd situation… but cuddles always tend to induce sleep, even if neither of them necessarily needs it.

Do they have nicknames for each other?:Ooohhhhh hell yes!!! so many; just — so.. soooo many. whther they are cute ones or teasing ones or whatever — the name calling is just… endless. Its definitely something Missy does more than the Doctor; but they both have plenty of names of each other. 

How do they apologize after an argument?:weellll; neither of them are very good at it; they are both very VERY stubborn, especially with each other, and they tend to just sort of avoid the other until they calm down and forget about what it was they were arguing about. Although; on the rare occasion that they do actually decide to apologize to one another its usually through some kind of grand (and in Missy’s case often misguided) gesture (like a cyberman army as a birthday present … y’know… totally reasonable)   What would they be like as parents?:Oh dear god help whatever poor child had them as parents!! XD –To be honest; I feel like they would be bother really terrible and really amazing at the same time; like as far as care taking and keeping them safe? they would be absolute rubbish! Like they are both such risk takers and… Missy would see absolutely no problem dragging her chilld through the heart of a star or some shit while the Doctor would just kind of ~forget~ that children are small and somewhat fragile and would end up getting them into some kind of trouble and then just being like  “.. ooops?” — I mean look what goes down with his human companions; and I sort of think he sees them kind of as his children or charges for which he is responsible and… i mean look at the track record… BUT in terms of raising the child I think they would be amazing!! In terms of really important life lessons and explaining things — there would be nobody better in the universe – like they are both so crazy brilliant and have had such a breadth of experiences …. on top of which like; their viewpoints are SO different they would present any child with a varied and balanced point of view which would allow them to develop their own ideas and point of view on different topics, they would be amazing.  

Who is more romantic?:I – I honestly don’t know… i feel like it depends on the circumstance? Like generally i’d say Missy is more the one for grand, cheesy gestures and protestations; BUT I think the Doctor also will pull out some incredibly beautiful and sweet romantic moments and gestures; they are just less common and somewhat more subtle and definitely less predictable; but they can both be very romantic when they choose to be. What sort of gifts do they get for each other?:Ridiculous ones. I mean.. really…. REALLY over the top shit… a pony just cause she asked… a cyberman army for his birthday…. a piano for absolutely no reason at all (Oh please there were PLENTY of reasons he got her that damn piano and all of them involve good times which could be had atop it.) ;) ….. you get the point.

Who gets jealous easiest?:MISSSYYYYYY. definitely. She CANNOT understand why he is always running around with those stupid little humans; and she is often afraid he loves them more than he loves her. Which isn’t to say that the Doctor wouldn’t be jealous too if their situations were reversed; but like — Missy doesn’t really have many friends sooo…..

Who gets more excited for events e.g.. Birthdays, Christmas?:Hahahahaha Missy. definitely Missy. She enjoys making a production out of every. single. holiday…. oftentimes much to the dismay and irritation of the Doctor…. which is honestly half the reason she is so set one it.Who is the most adventurous?:Depends on what you mean by adventurous…. Missy is the bigger risk taker but the Doctor is more curious about the universe and everything in general…. althooooough if we’re talking in the bedroom um… Missy, clearly — though to his credit the Doctor is down for whatever she comes up with. Who is the most protective?:Probably the Doctor, though they are both protective of one another, fiercely protective — the Doctor is just so used to getting Missy out of her own messes over the years; its just kind of ingrained in him to make sure she has a way out and will be okay. What would they have been like as childhood sweethearts?:I meannn since that’s exactly what they were…… ;P No no, i know I know; and I don;t think they were like together together when they were young, even if they were clearly in love with each other even then…. but I feel like even if they had been; I think their relationship would have been very much like what it is now… both of them constantly fighting but always forgiving each other because they are stupid in love.Who uses all the hot water?:Lmao Both of them because you know they’re in the damn shower together and therefore showers take 500 X longer than they need to beaause so much shower sex. Who would accidentally set the kitchen on fire whilst cooking?:Both of them; well; no i take that back… the Doctor would set it on fire by accident Missy would do it on purpose… or at least if it was ORIGINALLY an accident she would throw some kerosene on it for good measure. Who initiates sexy times the most?:Both of them but.. also kind of Missy… She tends to just like tease him and be there in a very consciously tantalizing way until he finally just snaps and jumps on her and starts making out with her which never fails to induce a fit of cackles from her and ultimately leads to all the sexy times.Who is more dominant?:They are both a couple of big switches who love to play power play games — although, Missy is naturally pretty dominant, she also likes it when he takes control cause she actually trusts him enough to let him.What would they do if the other one was hurt?:Absolutely and unequivocally whatever was necessary to save the other or make sure they are okay… they would both run headlong into danger for the other without a 2nd thought for their own safety. Who gives nose/forehead kisses?:Missy is all about giving the nose kisses!!! ;P ….but the differences in their height has more or less given the Doctor the monopoly on giving the forehead kisses … both of which suits them both very nicely. What their biggest fight was/will be about::Oh god….. I honestly don’t even know — like… there have been SO many… though i suppose a lot of them boil down to their conflicting moralities… 

BONUS #1: Song to sum them up?:Oh dear lord.... how many tracks from my 60+ track playlist do you want!?!?! XD XD .... tonight... i’m feeling like its Walking The Wire by Imagine Dragons ♥BONUS #2: A head canon?:buuttt I haveee soo mannyy...... ummm okay; okay so one is that, the interior of the Vault was originally a relatively small space, but that utilizing bigger on the inside tech; the two of them just worked together to expand it, giving her multiple rooms and more space, until she basically had her own little palace down there and that one main room with the piano, and the small small force-field enclosure was literally just for appearances... as they both decided it was best if the secrets of the vault were kept just between the two of them.... and yes, i mean that in every sense.   

BOTTOM LINE: Do I ship it?:Ummmmm Is water wet!?!?!?! like 100% OTP level right here like --- my heart ♥♥♥ mah babbies!!! I will love them 5ever!!!

@intherightwasi

[jjpmoans]

(1/2) omg i used to say that i was a lost weasley child, so it fits! 😊 mark is definitely cute but scary. i always think he and i would NOT get along irl because we’d spend all our time yelling and then crying and yelling again. 😂 i also do agree that youngjae looks best bare-faced! when he goes live or posts his casual selfies, my heart melts! 🥰 -ahgase secret santa 🍊

Awwww. Lost weasley child hahahahahha. I bet you're as sweet as the weasleys too! No really? You and Mark hahahaha. I think you will make a great friend. Really! Mark will have soft spots for you because you know, you're his best friend! Hmm i smell a fanfic here hahahaha. Would you like that, little orangey? Also, Youngjae. Yes. I found out that he's so manly after that live where coco humped the soft toy (i can't believe I missed the moment) and I came to a conclusion that, indeed, he's so hot!

Also the fic hahahhahahahaha. You know, Runaway holds a certain special meaning to me. Let me tell you a story about that. On the day of GOT7 comeback, I was driving so I can't watch the MV first. So I can only listen to the spotify and the first thing I say was I don't like YCMN (jqvzkqjska I'm a liar now i listen to it religiously). But onto the Runaway, damn I listened to that one part of Jaebeom and I melted and the feeling lingered until later that night and oh god I CAN'T STOP BEING SOFT! Which is ironic since this era is supposed to be killing me with all the sexiness. And on top of that, the person I'm feeling soft with is Im Jaebeom, the walking sex symbol.

And Gym 7 waa written bcs hm Jinyoung, gym is an ooohhhhh combination hahahahahhaha. I'd pay to go to gym if he's my trainer 😏 alsooo thankyou for ready lucky stars! Do you love it? Tell me about it! And no the pictures are pretty bcs of camera trick. The real me is the centre picture hahahahahahaha.

It's almost time to reveal ourselves? Oh god I totally forgot! Do you want to reveal yourself today? On 25th? Or you have something in mind already?

I didn’t realise this, so I’m now disappointed in life overall.

Wrestlemania 33 Predictions!

Neville Vs. Austin Aries for the WWE Crusierweight Championship

I haven’t been that enthused about this match mostly because I’ve never really liked Austin Aries as a babyface. He’s a natural heel so seeing him playing a hero of sorts never clicked (see his “feud” with Baron Corbin last year). Neville on the other hand, is a fantastic heel who needs a true babyface to battle. TJP, Rich Swann, or Jack Gallagher would’ve been great choices, but sadly, that’s not the case. 

Anywho, as for who’s winning, I’m going with Neville. I don’t see Aries (As a face) winning the title. That and I think Neville should hold the title up until Summerslam at the latest.

Winner: Neville

Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal

First one was good, second one was crap, third one was good. Hopefully this year’s will be a good one despite the fact that there is absolutely no build for this one. As for potential winners, Braun Strowman (obvs), Sami Zayn, (hopefully) or....no that’s about it.

Winner: Braun Strowman or Sami Zayn

Dean Ambrose vs. Baron Corbin for the Intercontinental Championship

This could honestly be a sleeper hit of a match for Wrestlemania this year. Dean is the definition of a Workhorse (he has the workhorse championship after all) and Baron Corbin has improved so much in the past year, it’s insane. Now while a lot of people are saying Baron should win the gold, I’m picking Ambrose on this one. The main reason is that Dean hasn’t won a singles match at Wrestlemania (Wrestlemanias 29 and 30 don’t count, he was teaming with the Shield those years.) and I think after a shit match with Brock Lesnar last year, he deserves a damn good match and a victory this year. Baron WILL win the IC title eventually, probably at SmackDown’s post-mania PPV.

Winner: Dean Ambrose

The Club vs. Enzo and Cass vs. Cesaro and Sheamus for the RAW Tag-Team titles in a Ladder Match

I honestly am not excited for this match that much and I really want to be. I like all 3 teams involved and I feel like they all deserve a better build than they’ve gotten, especially Gallows and Anderson. I’m sure the match will be good regardless. As for the winners...as much as I’d like to see Enzo and Cass finally win a championship in WWE, I see Gallows and Anderson keeping the belts by the skin of their teeth. (Btw, it’s a ladder match now.)

Winners: Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson

Alexa Bliss defends against pretty much the entire SmackDown Women’s locker room

That is the best possible description I can give to this match because that’s basically what she’s doing. There’s a handful of potential winners for this one. But I’ve picked out a small handful. Alexa (duh), Becky Lynch, and a returning Naomi. All three are more than deserving of being SmackDown Women’s Champion and I’m sure the match will be a solid showcase of the ladies on Team Blue.

Winner: Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch, or Naomi

John Cena and Nikki Bella vs. The Miz and Maryse

Everyone involved with this match has had the time of their lives building up towards it, making it one of my most anticipated matches this year! And honestly, I wasn’t even asking for it but everything leading up to this match has been pure gold. I’m pretty sure John and Nikki are winning this one, but you know it’ll be hella entertaining. 

Winners: John Cena and Nikki Bella

AJ Styles vs. Shane McMahon 

You didn’t ask for it. I didn’t ask for it. But you know this match is gonna be lit. AJ is literally incapable of having a bad match and Shane is willing to damn near kill himself to make his opponents look good. Should AJ be going for a championship this year? Yes, absolutely. But working with the bosses son is still a pretty big honor for the Phenomenal one. AJ winning is a no-brainer, so we’ll get a great match and the result we want.

Winner: AJ Styles 

Bayley vs. Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Nia Jax for the RAW Women’s Championship

Can we all agree that Bayley’s had a crap title reign so far? Like, they threw away her title win on an episode of RAW instead of waiting for Wrestlemania, then she beat Charlotte at Fastlane thanks to Sasha, and then for what feels like 200 years, she’s been killed by Nia Jax on RAW. Just...oi. The one advantage we have to all of this is that all 4 of these women are some of the best workers in WWE, so we know the match is going to be reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally good. The only other concern I have is if Bayley wins. As in, she better win. All this shit booking she’s gotten will hopefully be worth it if she wins at Wrestlemania. And then you can turn Sasha heel the night after and BOOM! Feud of the year right there. 

Winner: (Hopefully) Bayley

Chris Jericho vs. Kevin Owens for the WWE United States Championship

Dude, I’m still reeling over Kevin’s betrayal at the festival of friendship. Shit was so well thought out and planned out. The only downside, and it’s a small downside, is that it’s PAINFULLY obvious that Kevin Owens is gonna win the U.S. Title. Honestly, this is a case of an obvious outcome being a good one. It’ll be a great, dramatic match with the right outcome.

Winner: Kevin Owens

Seth Rollins vs. Triple H in an Unsanctioned Match

The absolute best built story for Wrestlemania 33, hands down, no comparison. Seth finally completing his face turn, Triple H being the evil S.O.B. that we all know and love, the brawls these guys have gotten into, it’s damn near perfect. Hopefully Seth’s knee can hold up and he can give a fantastic performance. With HHH being his opponent, he should be good to go. As for the winner, I’m pulling hardcore for Seth. Yeah, if Trips wins, this story can keep going, but Hunter has shown in the past couple of years that he’s totally ok with laying down to help put someone over (Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns, etc.)

Winner: Seth Rollins

Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship

Brock’s gonna win and not defend the title for um-teen years. NEXT.

Winner: Bork Lazer

Bray Wyatt vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Championship

Yes, I would’ve much rather had a Triple threat match including Luke Harper, but even without Luke, this build up has been DAMN good. It’s also been batshit crazy, and I love it. I honestly missed the batshit crazy, balls to the wall kind of builds with supernatural elements and this angle between these two gave me my fill. I don’t think the match will be a 5-star classic, but it’ll be pretty good since Bray rarely turns in a bad performance and Randy’s clearly been digging his story with Bray since he’s been turning in great performance after great performance. As for my winner, I’m sticking with my guns and going with Wyatt.

Winner: Bray Wyatt

The Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns

OOOHHHHH MAN, when Roman eliminated Undertaker from the Royal Rumble, I was hella disappointed. I really wanted ‘Taker to win the whole thing and when I see one fave eliminate another fave, my heart breaks. But man, that stare down between them was one of the most intense things I’ve ever seen and that alone got me a little excited for their match at Wrestlemaina. Since then, the segments these two have had on RAW have been lit af. ‘Taker’s chokeslam, Roman’s sneak attack spear, Roman disrespecting HBK AND ‘Taker, it’s been really good. As for my winner...Roman, I love you, I will support you til the end of time, but it’s Undertaker > pretty much everyone else. Also, ‘Taker, pls be careful.

Winner: Undertaker

Alright, y’all. Wrestlemaina’s tomorrow night! Let’s have a good time and enjoy the show. I’ve got the Power of Positivity within me and I’m sure it’ll be a good ‘Mania!

AMA Transcript: Spun by the Moon

This weekend, @silly-twin-stars​ and @aquabella888​ stopped in to chat about their 2016 Resbang, Spun by the Moon! Here’s some of what went down:

Q: What inspired this idea?

Silly: Well, I actually thought of this idea during my last summer working at a camp, about three years ago. I was literally out on the lake, in the speedboat, and was like "wait, I could write a thing!" So this had been cooking up in my brain for about three years before I actually signed up for Resbang. I wrote a couple of random scenes during Camp Nano (appropriate) back in 2014 before I was like "okay, I NEED to get this written!" and then Resbang [eventually] popped up. So yeah, everything just kind of came together at the right time.

Q: Did you write this to any music? Or have a playlist?

Silly: So I don't have an official playlist but there were a few songs I listened to a LOT that inspired particular scenes - The Academy Is...'s Fast Times album was on repeat for TON of this story (especially the scene where B* is a lil shit and backflips off the boat), and Imogen Heap's Tidal was my Canoedling Anthem. ;D Nourish me in early 2000s pop punk.

Q: Was the scene where they went across the lake to that outlook inspired by a real place?

Silly: Slightly, yes!! There's no place that you can actually get to by boat that overlooks my camp, but there's a mountain near camp we take the kids to that actually overlooks the lake, so I drew pretty heavily from that! There IS actually an island in real life that people can kayak to and I considered doing some kind of corny picnic scene with that idea for a long time but ultimately went with the overlook instead. 

Aquabella888: That scene really gave me so many feelings.

Q for Bella: What was your favorite piece to art?

Aquabella888: Ooohhhhh. I'd have to say the piece where they're under the dock. The background was a little rushed but Soul's shorts and the water underneath the dock just made me love it so much. I'm really proud of that piece, BUT I LOVE THEM ALL. 

Silly: THE SHORTS. 

Aquabella888: YES THE SHORTS. XD 

Silly: That was the last piece you finished, wasn't it? It made me SO HAPPY. 

Aquabella888: YES it was! I wasn't going to have access to my tablet around posting time so I was like, aw fudge I gotta get this done! BUT IT WAS WORTHHH IT. 

Silly: Bella was so full of little things like that. She was the one who inspired B*'s muscle shirt. 

Aquabella888: B*S MUSCLES WILL NOT BE CONTAINED BY A POLO. XD

Q: Does that say "Fetus B*"?

Silly: It SURE DOES.

Q: How do you feel, having completed your first Resbang?

Silly: Oh my gosh. I feel amazing. What an incredible experience?! I felt so spoiled. I had an amazing partner who was so open and supportive and communicative, and a group of betas that supported me and gave me honest feedback and now I'm a part of this amazing community, like what?! I am the luckiest. 

Aquabella888: Aww same... Silly being my partner made it such a wonderful experience. AND BETA SQUAD IS BEST SQUAD.

Q: Who was the hardest character to write?

Silly: That's really hard! My first thought was probably Medusa. Kind of like WhiteLightning mentioned earlier today, I was trying to toe the line between her being legitimately evil and the sheer ridiculousness of her trying to invade a summer camp with cell phone towers. Like, who let me get away with that ridiculous premise? But I think she turned out all right!

Q: What are you most proud of in your writing, after going through Resbang?

Silly: I'm quite proud of the pacing in this story! I struggle with it sometimes, and I think in this particular story I paid a lot of attention to making sure things were progressing at the right speed. I still have a lot to work on, but that felt like a stronger part of my Resbang this year.

Q: Where did inspo for canoe-dling come from and did that idea evolve at all?

Silly: I literally have no idea where the original inspo for canoedling came from. I know I thought of it before I actually signed up for Resbang, because when Madi offered to beta for me, my explanation of my story was like "there's gonna be lots of fun camp stuff oh and also canoe sex" and she was like EXCUSE ME YES and it all just kind of snowballed from there. It ABSOLUTELY evolved and I kind of made fun of it in the story - initially I wanted the funtimes to happen IN the canoe but with copious research I began to realise that that was gonna be pretty physically impossible. So I was like "hey they're gonna fall out, because fucking obviously." And then I was able to work the real word canoodling into the story and I was the happiest person alive.

Q: Was there a character you connected with most?

Silly: I definitely had a chance to identify with Maka lots in this story since I was writing from her perspective. My only other longfic is written from Soul's perspective, so it was really refreshing to be able to step into her shoes for kind of the first time? I hardcore channeled myself during the scene with Tsu and Liz's interrogation, I felt for Maka so hard there hahaha. Actually, anytime anyone is super embarrassed in this story, I tended to identify with them: Soul at the campfire, Maka under the dock etc. hahah. 

Aquabella888: Maka is precious and needs to be protected.

Q: WHERE DID THE SOLES COME FROM?!? Like, the inspiration for them?

Silly: So I intially thought of doing 99 soles when I was thinking about the three tasks. I pinned down Link in the Chain and Witch Hunter pretty early and was like "ugh I want to do something with 99 souls!" iI thought the pun would actually be too silly, so I went with them collecting 99 bowls (lmfao) and when Madi read my outline she was like "hmmmm, have you considered soles, like shoe soles?" And through SOLE RESONANCE we knew it had to happen!!! 

Aquabella888: IT WAS AMAZING.

Q: Has anyone asked Bella how she feels she's grown this Resbang yet?

Aquabella888: Ummm, so initially, I was planning on working with traditional mediums like markers and such so I started working with those... but at one point I took a break and did some digital work and really enjoyed that! So I think this project really allowed me to develop my skills as a digital artist. I'm way more confident in my abilities now! But having an amazing partner and such a supportive mod squad really encouraged me to seek out opinions and feedback which was always really helpful! It was a really positive experience overall. 

Silly: Your style gives me life. <3

Q: Your camp is in NH, right?

Silly: Maine! Just on the border of NH, though.

Q: So I could... find it... is what you're saying.

Silly: You... yes, you could. ;P Although there are tons of summer camps in Maine - way more than people realize! 

Aquabella888: Here we go with le extra concept art:

Q: I FORGOT ABOUT MAKA DECKING SOUL.

Silly: Maka decking Soul was not in the original plan and I'm SO GLAD it happened hahaha. I was writing that chapter and remember thinking to myself "man I'm so bored, what can i do to spice things up OH I KNOW." 

Aquabella888: Yes, Maka decking Soul was majestic. 

Aquabella888:

Silly: That sign ugh. It was literally exactly how I pictured it in my head.

Q: How did the fic change as you wrote it? Bc I know Resbangs tend to Evolve.

Silly: Totally! So the original plan with the three tasks stayed pretty similar throughout, but a lot of the stuff in between the tasks was super organic. The campfire scene got progressively more ridiculous, and I thought of Stein's pyromaniacy literally as I was writing the scene where he's first playing with the torches. But overall it just got sweeter and sweeter as it went. Sweeter than I originally intended and better than I could've hoped, to be honest. OH, AND THE CANOE JOKE. BLESS.

Q: Oh my gosh I forgot about Stein! Where on earth did you come up with that?

Silly: Hahahaha, I thought to myself... okay, they're not supposed to have fire at camp, who loves pushing the boundaries literally always? STEIN. Oh, and he gets to play with fire? Seems legit!

Q: Any ideas for what you're gonna work on next?

Silly: I do. I already have next Resbang outlined. I am very excited. I think you guys will enjoy it lol. And I'm doing Reverb! And working forever on my longfic. Also, I might write some more smut, sometime. I have nowhere to go but up in that department. ;D

Q for Bella: What was your favorite scene?

Aquabella888: I've gotta say... even though the end of this scene frustrated me to no end, I think the piano scene is my favourite. IT WAS JUST SO EMOTIONALLY INTENSE AND UGHHH IT KILLED ME SILLY. BUT THE CANOE SHENANIGANS IS A VERY v.e.r.y. close second. Maka getting angry at Soul after the canoe flip like 'lifejackets soul, this is why we wear them'... BEAUTIFUL. 

Silly: I loved that because like, Maka, this was your idea. Nerd. 

Aquabella888: Best nerd.
