#ooooh what an idea…

[missmaywemeetagain]

I've been having this thought of an alternative reality of the Pink Scarf chapter 16. What if Reader (Y/N) did catch that plane, and Elvis missed her. Sandy's message didn't reach Elvis until she was on the plane. When Elvis got home, would they continue their affair when he returned?

OH. OH MY DEAREST. THE SWEET TORTUROUS THOUGHT!!

That definitely would’ve changed the trajectory of things but could have resulted in some deliciously awkward angst. Because they were obviously made for each other, right? So maybe away from the glitz and glamour of Vegas they’d try to resist their feelings more definitively. And he’d be FURIOUS at her for leaving him like that but there would’ve been time for him to cool down. There might have been more icy E and exploration of his anger. Maybe some avoidance. Maybe a really hot Graceland dinner scene where he eye fucks her across the table. An argument. Some hot makeup sex on the stairs. The possibilities are endless, really…🫠

Hmmm…it’s like a Pink Scarf Choose Your Own Adventure! 💗🧣💗 I’m gonna be thinking about this now! Who knows what may come of it? 😏😁😘

Of Godsons, Fruitloops, and Lois 'I will drag all secrets out into the sun' Lane

Danny loses his parents due to their own lack of safety in the lab (death? Coma? People finally putting their foot down about the Fenton's endangering their kids? Idk pick). Jazz can't take him in due to being in college and living on its campus (and he didnt want to force her into an apartment just to keep him, he saw the prices and knows she'll have to work to make rent) and Danny fears the only place he can go to is... Vlad. (Sam's parents would never let him live with her and Tucker's place doesn't have the room)

Vlad's been lording it over Danny, smug about it all, after all he IS Danny's godfather and he has the space and money to provide for the boy in his time of need.

Only, when digging into Danny's files, his social worker discovers Vlad isn't Danny's godfather, he was meant to be but the Fenton's forgot to send/sign in the final paperwork (even if those documents were the only contact they had with Vlad over the years before the reunion)

No Danny's godparent, the person to take him should anything happen to the Fenton's is....

Lois Lane.

His mom's childhood friend.

I was watching a Youtube video of all the Cinematic from the new Overwatch Invasion update (cause heaven knows I ain't buying it) and I noticed at the end Ramattra has this like.. Burn? Mark?? On his chest that goes through his cape

So I downloaded Overwatch on my PC to get a look at the Wandering/Traveling Monk skins this scene is using and I noticed..

Traveling and Wandering have a lot of visual differences, most notably in the burn the originally got my attention.

Wandering has been used canonically to show Ramattra's monk days previously, in his origin story and in the Developer commentary, but interestingly the artwork in those videos is lacking that very burn

Overwatch character designers are very good at visual storytelling, especially with Omnics (I could write an essay on what they've done with Zenyatta), so I believe this burn may very well be what became the Last Straw for Ramattra, what pushed him to leave the Shambali, what caused his fall into violence and eventually Talon.

Was he attacked? Or was he attempting to protect someone else? Despite his best efforts to shield them, the shot fired right past him, scorching his metal, cutting through his cape, and taking their life...

I hope we learn more about it.

Can I just... okay, there's something that's been percolating in my head ever since the Durgetash patch 6 crumbs dropped and I think I can finally put it into words. Because everyone was getting so mad about Durge (and it was about Durge, not Gortash; it was an origin character getting their backstory acknowledged in the game at a point where it should've been from the start, saying it was about Gortash is like saying... I don't know, any unique dialogue Cazador gets in Astarion origin runs is Cazador content) getting five or six new lines when Wyll got nothing and... well, personally I think that's a little silly, first because adding a few new Gortash lines to Durge runs would not be taking away from Wyll content (the two characters have different writers, VAs and mocap actors, for the most part they would not have been pulling from the same resource pool), but more importantly because... if you want to point at an origin character taking resources from Wyll, don't point at Durge. Point at Karlach.

I mean, think about it. Think about how the game runs with these two characters. You likely meet Wyll first unless you go out of your way to avoid speaking to him until you meet Karlach. He asks you to help him hunt down and kill a devil, and you go and you look and you find her and... now you're doing Karlach's quest. They interrupt Wyll's quest in the middle to do Karlach's quest. And she keeps piping up during the conversation with Mizora afterwards, and it turns out that Wyll got sent after Karlach to begin with because Karlach is Zariel's extra-special favourite mortal, and suddenly Wyll's sharing his post-quest transformation cutscene (something which I think we can all agree should be entirely about him) with a character who wasn't even playable until a ways into EA. You can't even properly commiserate with Wyll afterwards, you can only even be nice to him if you choose to read the lines that way; you spend more time chatting to Karlach about Wyll's transformation than you do Wyll! Wyll's act one quest gets almost completely taken over by Karlach, I'm honestly kind of surprised I haven't seen anyone else talking about it. Even him being turned into a devil is barely about him because Karlach's backstory is butting in! There is a reason why no other origins share villains, but where Karlach's connection to Gortash is overshadowed by Durge in a Durge run here she's overshadowing Wyll in every run except maybe (I say maybe because I haven't done it) a Wyll origin.

And it gets even better! Remember how originally you couldn't save Karlach at all? Remember when it was death or mind flayer? Remember what Larian did when people complained about that? I'm fucking amazed I didn't see more complaints about that, given the number of complaints I saw about Durgetash getting five whole lines. Do you want to keep Karlach alive? Do you want to end the game with all your companions still breathing and reasonably happy? Well then fuck what you think is a good, happy and/or narratively satisfying ending for Wyll; you're packing him off to the Hells, because that's the only way to keep Karlach alive if you don't want to go with her (which you probably don't if you romanced someone other than her)! Like, I want you to really let that sink in; they made Karlach's survival completely reliant on how you end Wyll's quest. If you want Karlach to survive and don't want your character's epilogue to be "go to the Hells" (which, again, odds are most players don't) you have to end Wyll's quest accordingly. They could've put that into Karlach's quest! Give her an actual character arc (instead of the line-with-maybe-a-slight-curve she got) where you can encourage her to choose life and go to Avernus on her own or... I don't know, go with Dammon or something! Especially since as it turns out Zariel apparently doesn't actually give a shit, which the PC should be able to point out given Zariel's track record in this game of giving barely enough of a shit to make a token effort at getting Karlach back or killing her! But instead the climax of Wyll's whole damn arc has to share space with Karlach. Maybe not in the game's text proper, but from a meta perspective? If the player doesn't want to go to the Hells but wants Karlach to live, that's likely going to be if not the deciding factor in Wyll's quest then certainly a major one in—as with the transformation cutscene—a situation that should be entirely about Wyll.

I don't really know how to end this. I guess... I fully admit part of it is me being super petty about the sheer number of posts I saw getting mad about Durgetash getting literally five or six lines (crumbs! Barely crumbs! Crumbs that didn't impact Wyll in any way!), but it also really is like... people complained about that but I haven't seen anyone complaining about how Larian warped Wyll's whole story around Karlach. And I think more people should complain about it. Wyll's story got dragged off-course the second they started rewriting it, but they wrapped the whole thing around Karlach when they made her an origin companion to the point where at times it feels like Wyll's playing second fiddle in his own arc, and that's... well, honestly it just pisses me off.

what if I indulged my inner twelve year old and wrote crossover fanfiction

[skyward-floored]

I assume you've already gone to bed, and hopefully for sleep, but here's a little gift for you when you wake up. Also, take it as an apology for being so late; I've been trying to work on your birthday gift but it's been slow going, alas. I will try and finish it as soon as I can, and until then, have this instead! *lots of love and hugs*

There was music coming from the tree. Link stood at it’s base, hands on his hips as he peered up into the dense foliage.

“Sprite, I know you can see me.”

The music continued—well, not blithely, but without pause, in the familiar sweet tones of a lullaby.

“I’m coming up.”

The music stubbornly continued on, while Link hauled himself into the tree. He may not have been raised the woods like certain gremlins he could mention, but he’d been a little boy enamored with adventure, and knew his way around a tree. He hauled himself up into the tree, and after a few moments had narrowed in on his quarry.

To his surprise, the Sprite was not alone.

The kid was sitting on a high branch, his ocarina at his lips, while below him, stretched out on a wide, thick bough, was Shiek.

Link nearly fell out of the tree, grabbing hold of an obliging branch and hastily steadying himself.

“Wha—what are you doing here?”

Shiek didn’t so much as move, her eyes closed and hands folded on her stomach. “I’ve been having trouble sleeping, so Mask is trying to lull me to sleep.”

Link leaned on the bole of the tree. “Is it working?”

“Well, not while you’re talking to me.” Shiek replied shortly.

Link shrugged, “Or maybe because it’s Zelda’s Lullaby, and not yours. Maybe she has exclusive rights to it’s soothing properties.”

The soft notes halted for a second with a slight squeal, before the music resumed. Link gave Mask a funny look, but his eyes were firmly shut. It took Shiek a second to respond, but when she did her tone was very dry. “I’m certain that’s not the case.”

“Well…” Link dug into his pouch and pulled out an ocarina of his own. “Would maybe a second musician do the trick?”

Shiek’s peeked open one eye, looking up at Mask. “Would you mind accompaniment?”

Mask lowered the ocarina from his mouth, looking away with a sniff. “…He’d better be able to keep up with me.”

Link grinned at the pink tinge showing on the edge of the Sprite’s ears. “Sure, if I drag you down I’ll stop.”

“Well,” Mask seemed to be wrestling with what to say. “…Good.” He sniffed again, and lifted the ocarina again. “On three!”

Mask counted down three beats, and they slipped into the restful tones of Zelda’s lullaby.

Shiek let her eye close again, and slowly, her breathing shifted to match the deep, slow rhythm of the notes.

The two of them continued to play as the sheikah slumbered on; her rest deep and easy with two heroes standing sentinel over her dreams.

Aaaaaaaaa Tellie 🥺 This was so sweet and soft, and FUNNY ACK Mask and Sheik both pausing at the Zelda’s lullaby thing abdgbbgdscbdgh

Thank you so much Tellie <333 Also I will gladly wait as long as it takes for a fic from you (you’re writing me one??? aaaaaaaaa 😭), you don’t need to apologize!!

still fucks me up how there's people who think ''oh you play video games for 3 hours a day that's sooooo much 😱'' like. What.

[shinraelectricpowercom]

Current Events in Silm fandom rlly reinforce my feeling that, despite claiming an ethos of acceptance/tolerance of anything that doesn't hurt ppl, a lot of ppl in the section of Silm fandom I frequent do follow a set of socially-agreed-upon mores about what concepts are "not acceptable" to discuss or propose (or the ways in which certain topics must be discussed to be acceptable), that you all seem to have agreed on despite the things those mores restrict not being harmful to anyone.

And when someone does say smth that violates those mores, the response is disproportionate to the amount of harm done (which is typically none, imo). I know it's tempting to say "but we just want people to be comfortable and safe", but treating ppl badly for the sin of sharing thoughts you dislike is NOT the same as preventing people from doing things that are harmful. The former is much more of a harmful behavior than the sharing of the thoughts that sets it off. Fannish etiquette, people: you shouldn’t act like someone’s meta makes them morally suspect just because you disagree with it; save the “this is morally bad” for things that are ACTUALLY harmful. We're all stuck on this website together & if you want to have any sort of community, you need to ACT like you're in a community, and that means letting other people say things you dislike. Block them if you need to! I block people all the time because i know it's better for me AND for them if we can both blog in peace.

I am not particularly comfortable with the young-queer-on-tumblr silm fandom rn due to this tendency to rebuke things that are uncomfortable rather than harmful. Maybe that's fine with you. But if your goal is to make all fans feel comfortable and accepted, you need to actually do that. If your goal is to make people who share your unwritten rules comfortable in your space, you need to admit that, and write those rules down, and curate your space so it follows them.

Edited 8:10am PST to clarify the specifics of the behavior I find concerning.

I need to write this so I don’t forget so that I can fic it later (lmk Drabble / fic prompt if anyone wants it) macaque angst, mild gore warning

Macaque failed in his task and the Lady is displeased. The thrall who calls himself a mayor requests his head, but his Lady thinks the shadow may still be of use. Still, he deserves a punishment, no? The Mayor asks to destroy something slightly smaller than a head, but no less amusing to ruin.

Perhaps it is the six eared warriors eyes that ruin his performance, the mayor says, afterall, losing an eye can quite affect one’s vision. He never did heal completely from that fight with his old love, did he?

The lady agrees. Why would a warrior named for his hearing need his sight anyways?

Go, she says, do as you wish. The mayor is eager to comply.

He rushes forward, claws of bone and ice ripping from his knuckles with a violent crack and the wet sound of flesh. He smiles.

Macaque does not struggle, chained and bruised and bloodied, has no leeway in his binds. He cannot struggle, and even if he could move he does not know if he would. His every muscle aches and his bones are weak and he is so, so tired. He cannot hope to count the wounds.

The claws rake across his eye and he screams. That is all he can do as blood runs warm and sticky down his face and fire rushes through his veins. He knows nothing but pain and it only gets worse.

The mayor removes his claws and considers taking the eye with them, but decides he likes the look of the bleeding wound too much to ruin it. It is beautiful.

Macaque feels his shadows, roused from their frozen terror at his pain, swarm his mind. They drag him down to rest and he does not fight it.

Scrapped Idea #01 (Really should be #10076 if we're being honest)

Didn't quite work like I was hoping but I still like these pictures so why not post it, this blog has been in a Pluto and Mars drought anyways.

[ask-butterfly-liam]

oooohhh other bug objects? who, can we see??

There are two other bug objects that I know of.

One is a kumquat named Cassie who is some sort of beetle, and the other is a can of spray paint named Westley who is a cricket, I'm pretty sure. I've never really asked, and I don't see them very often.

We can contact each other over long distances using our antennae and something I think is echolocation. So... if you'd like to ask them questions as well, I can relay some of your asks to them. I'll have to ask them first-

*sound of antennae tingling*

...they're fine with it. Ask away.

(Cassie and Westley's asks are open!!! will make art of them soon but also dont count on it aaaaahhhgughhguhguhg)

[songofstrawhats]

I have a sudden need for a fic where Corazon gets to hang out with Laws parents for a while. I've read all sorts of time travel/time swap/devil fruit shenanigans AUs where Law gets to hang out with them, but like-

Corazon wakes up in Flevance- which should not still exist, so like, that's a question! And as he wanders around the marketplace looking for answers and tripping over nothing a kind pair of doctors stop to make sure he isn't injured- and he looks up at them and sees their faces and knows who they are immediately
