#or my bs verse idk

[unicornondeck]

would you tell me what's wrong? (silver)

As Silver's gaze met his, Izzy's lips straightened into a line. When questioned about his state, he offered only a shrug in reply. His silence spoke louder than words. He avoided direct eye contact initially, opting to mess around with the handle on the drink as he tried to come up with a plan. The scent of alcohol lingered around him and added to the credibility of the few empty glasses by him.

His shoulders were tense against the back of the chair, both legs on top of the table beside the adjacent glasses. He was silent, clearly wrestling with something internally. He knew he was not exactly hiding his feelings about the past few weeks but it was clearly about to boil over. "Nothing is wrong, why would anything be fucking wrong? Everything is fine."

Hi queen!! So I have just finished Son of Sea Foam, I'm not sure if you know the fanfic but its wonderful, and I'm now wondering how would Poseidon specially but the greeks in general react to Percy's life in this au where he (she) has to pretend to be a daughter of Aphrodite because children of the big three are considered too dangerous and are killed (also Hercules reaction please I'm begging you)

(i've never read that fic so i might get the details wrong, sorry!)

there is NOTHING pjo!poseidon can do that would make ror!poseidon approve or like him in ANY way. pjo!poseidon's decision to work together with aphrodite to hide percy's true parentage is smart and also shows how much he cares for her, but to ror!poseidon it's an act of cowardice 😭

he'd be like how DARE you lie about MY daughter's parentage and have her be the daughter of that stupid goddess!!!!!! IF YOU DON'T WANT ZEUS TO KILL PERCY, THEN JUST KILL HIM BEFORE HE CAN TRY 🙄

even telling him that gods can't die in the pjo verse wouldn't work, or that waging war is NOT a good idea because percy also wouldn't want that and demigods would be sucked into it, etc. ror!poseidon would just say some bs like "who cares about demigods or what percy thinks, she's just a child anyway, she shouldn't have a say in the matter. YOU have a duty as a father to kill everyone for her 😠🔱"

even ror!hades, zeus, and adamas would be saying the same thing 😭 ror!hades would be more sympathetic, he can see that pjo!poseidon is really trying here and understand the logic, but he's also aware that this plan won't last forever and percy's life WILL be in danger once the truth comes out. in his eyes, pjo!poseidon should take the chance to take zeus out of the equation while he's still ignorant

meanwhile adamas and zeus would just want an all-out war 💀 they don't care about the pjo!gods, the demigods, the humans, they don't care about the lives that are going to be ruined, they don't care about percy's opinion, they want a war because how DARE pjo!zeus try to kill their niece! (they plan on snatching percy back to their universe when everyone's distracted by the war lol)

heracles would be horrified!!!!! his alternate father would kill an innocent child all because of some oath that HE broke first by siring thalia?! in ror verse he's known as the "envoy of justice (idk if he'd be a god of justice too, but i think i'll make him one in my fic)" so this just blows his mind 💀 he would sympathize a lot more with pjo!poseidon and see his plan as smart, but like hades, he worries about how long it would last. he also understands why they would want to avoid a war and agrees with that. he feels that it would be safer for percy to just stay with them... but he also doesn't want to separate her from her og family... poor man doesn't know what to do, he just feels awful that this is happening in the first place 🥺

APHRODITE WOULD LOVE THIS! 😂 percy jackson?? as HER (alternate at least) daughter?????? oh yes she would never let this go. she wouldn't give a shit about the possible war and deaths, she's just more focused on the fact that pjo!poseidon made percy hide as HER daughter 😂😂 she 10000% approves of that idea and now she may or may not scheme to steal percy away from her universe and hide her out in her palace while everyone in the ror and pjo verse look for her. mommy and daughter need to bond after all! 💖

I can’t control what everyone else votes and the people who wanted us to fight assassin barely explained why. They wanted the command spells I think? But then caster went all in aiming at us so now it’s like…even if archer nukes assassin caster is then attacking us so it’s ANOTHER goddamn three way fight???

WHY

idk man I think some of the others wanted the command seals? I actually did vote for assassin bc that was literally the first person I’d seen suggested in the tags but tbh I wish I’d waited to see who everyone else on the other teams was aiming for

Honestly given caster is clearly gunning for us I’d say we may as well meet him straight on and respond in kind. We can fuck w assassin later if we live but I feel like the vote being split is kind of…stupid?

[lordsukunas]

songs made by black artists that i think would suit jjk characters. oh my god this took forever to format n link songs. anyway, happy black history month yall!!!! i hope yall like this bc im sick of seeing taylor swift pop up in the list of artists gojo would listen to <33

gojo – starboy the weeknd, daft punk + ghost town kanye west, partynextdoor

for starboy it just gave im that nigga vibes, and for ghost town it's just the entire ‘i alone am the honored one’ scene. but mayb it could also be applicable to current gojo? idk.

geto – like a tattoo sade

fun fact: this is actually the inspo for my user!! the whole ‘broken by the burden of his youth’ and ‘hungry for life, thirsty for the distant river’ reminds me of his whole reason for defecting. he's hungry for life (wanting sorcerers to not have to risk their life to protect non-sorcerers & actually live a long, fulfilling life) and thirsty for the distant river (remember when they kept with the race/hallway analogy? yeah, and geto's goal was always going to be unattainable for him simply bc he didn't have the strength)

yuuji – adorn miguel + crooked smile j. cole, tlc

UGGHHH he's just so lovely. the most supportive boy ever i love my son sm, and that is my only justification for my song choices.

megumi – alone willow + nineteen pinkpanthress + answer tyler, the creator

tbh… idk bros been goin thru it this entire series, but esp recently. for answer, i rlly liked the first couple of verses (idk what to actually call it, but it's before the first chorus) bc it aligns well w papaguro n megumi. ig the stepdad could be gojo…?

nobara – no scrubs tlc + conceited flo milli + apeshit the carters + on my mama victoria monét

she takes nobody's bs n i love that for her!!! i feel like she'd absolutely love flo milli + megan thee stallion.

nanami – lotus flower bomb wale, miguel + i love you more than you know black party, childish gambino

sorry i rlly like him y'all... there's no angsty reason for these songs! n for i luv u more than yk, it's just nanami if/when he goes to malaysia :3

choso – do you like me? daniel caesar

i actually dk for this one... i just thought it suited him! yk since he wants to live as a human n when he loves he loves hard (shown by how determined he is to be the best older brother to his lil siblings)

toji – she will lil wayne, drake + foe tha love of $ bone thugs-n-harmony, eazy-e + crack rock frank ocean

i am a firm believer toji would like 90s + early 2000s rap. it just makes sense idk, also i once saw a post that said he died just a bit b4 no hands by waka flocka came out and... hey! for crack rock, it's just post-mamaguro him n instead of crack, it's his gambling addiction

sukuna – hater's anthem infinity song + hit ‘em up 2pac, outlawz + king’s dead jay rock, kendrick lamar, future, james blake + unbothered ski mask the slump god

he's a hater just for my son. bum ass nigga... and for hit em up: ‘don't one of u niggas got sickle cell or sumn? u fuck around n have a seizure or a heart attack’

maki & toji – worst behavior drake

self explanatory! them n their rebellion against the zenin clan <3

gojo & geto – oui jeremih

cause if weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! sorry but this is fueled by geto saying ‘we are the strongest’... thats it :p

(4 year shifter here hi)

I decided I'm shifting. Like I'm ready to dive back in because 4 years??? nothing should take you 4 years to do and thats utter bs and i will NOT stand that. im gonna shift!!! because 4 years of my life is not gonna be wasted fantasizing a world instead of improving my own. i could've mastered a skill in 4 years. out of pure SPITE I WILL BE SHIFTING AND ILL MAKE IT A CONSISTENT THING TO VISIT MY DRS!!!!

Only problem is. I HAVE SO MUCH ANXIETYYYYY around shifting. I mostly blame tiktok for this but i have such imposrer syndrome (i just learned that term maybe im usijg it wrong). i feel like nothing im doing is correct and my brain tells me with assurance im not gonna shift because of it.

i know if I just believed id be with my husband rn. but i dont know how and 4 years of conditioning myself to believe i wont im scared i cant undo it and my thoughts on life is *if you dont believe you can do it you won't do it*

l asked my tarot deck for advice on what to do and got:

situation: The devil, Page of swords

what to do: The Emperor

i have no clue what's this is meant to mean 😚

hm. okay so i'm not super well-versed in tarot but i'll consult my books for u

the devil (assuming upright): describes obsession and limitations. given the context, i'm going to assume these limitations are more percieved than actual physical limitations. this pretty much checks out with what you told me here. i'm getting that there is a lot of overthinking and maybe method hopping or trying to make something work that just doesn't align with what you need.

page of swords (assuming upright): tells me that you are very methodical and thorough with your attempts. this is great for most aspects of life, but in my own personal opinion, shifting is about letting go of the details and focusing on the big picture.

the emperor (assuming upright): this was most interesting to me! it appears that you crave structure, and so a method with more structure may still be what works best for you. however, it also appears as though you need to focus on practicality over smaller details. you might benefit from taking a more commonly-known rigid method and changing certain things like the breathing pattern or steps that just don't allow you to relax.

ANYWAY that aside, you can totally shift even if you have doubts!! some people shift the day after they give up (baffling to me??? like omg universe i'm totally giving up... 👀) and i think something that helps a lot of people to know is like... anyone can shift. literally anyone. also i never do the methods right and i've shifted before so like... idk hopefully that helps you feel better about doing things wrong 😭

[riddlesrhymes]

Oooohh, yeah! I’ve met a lot of B’s fans (B’s is an abbreviation for B-52s). They’re probably some of the most chill new wave fans because most of them are like 80s kids (at least to my knowledge).

Another question: Top 5 songs? I do a lot better with listening to songs others recommend me, and I’ll say whatever songs you put in are exactly those.

- 🏳️‍🌈

Hi! Yes Bs fans are so chill. Ive only met teenagers/young adults who like them. They all have a great sense of fashion and dress super 80s core lol i love them

Top 5 songs! Since we're on spotify wrapped days, ill say those

1- And you tell me - a-ha

2- From the Beginning - ELP

3- The Sheriff - ELP

4- It takes two to tango - Todd Rundgren

5- Little Arabella - The Nice

What about yours? If you use a streaming platform w a wrapped..

The top one song is a heartbreaking one thats i think 1:52 minutes long. Ive listened to it on loop endlessly (sp wrapped says i listened to it 81 times..). Its so great and sad, i love the way they sing, and the end... its perfect. Also i love the lyrics and its meaning, its not that philosophical or deep but idk, simple and great! I love that album, its super melancolic. Tho some hate on it, because its seems like a "single" album (because Take On Me its the opening) and that the rest of the songs are mid/filler. I dont think that at all. Its really synthpop and new wave! Have you listened to it?

Then also it takes two to tango, i love it too. I love the way todd sings and just everything about it, it makes me so happy. Like i could be really sad but if i play it, it instantly improves my mood.

Then From The beginning, The Sheriff and Little Arabella are just songs I hyperfixated a lot for a while lol i love them all too ofc.

My user is a reference to a verse in little arabella lol Its a part where keith emerson sings! He does not have the best voice, like its objectively bad, but for some reason i like how it sounds! I love the way the lyrics sound w the instrumental part! Also its pretty worded (???) I like what it says.

[ * I’m no master of understanding characters, but I find the way that people characterize the Dreamtale twins really interesting? ]

[ * Not in a negative way, because again, I’m probably just as guilty of ‘mischaracterizing’ them as anyone else. But just… The different ways people take their whole ‘only positivity’ and ‘only negativity’ traits and work with them? The ways that it can both help and harm the characters? ]

[ * And of course, there is SUCH a great variety in the way people write them, when you go looking around in different places. Who’s considered the villain in their story, which one is portrayed as the sympathetic twin, what their relationships with other characters are— even if it’s ‘mischaracterization’ and supposedly a poor portrayal of what the character actually may be, the point of fanworks is to be transformative. Sometimes, when learning or hell, even just for kicks and giggles, a character gets warped out of shape ]

[ * Steering back, I want to talk about Nightmare, and kinda subsequently the way characterizing him in certain was can lead to Dream being characterized in certain ways— and vice versa. So like. Canon Nightmare is supposed to like, evil supreme, just the negative essence left of the human who died with Nim? (Correct me if I’m wrong there!) But, I rarely see people use that strict portrayal. People (generally, from what I’ve seen) don’t want to portray him as pure evil, my guess is people to want him to be like. Dynamic. No one is just purely evil! And the fact that Passive Nightmare has such a shitty situation growing up then just… dies and gets puppeted around for supposedly millennia? Idk, but I definitely understand not wanting to stick with that. ]

[ * So, people (in a general niche sense) don’t want Nightmare to be pure evil. Somewhere around the line, some people don’t even want him to be the villain. Cool, cool, again transformative works! Interesting premise! But who’s going to be your antagonist? What happens to Dream? ]

[ * Dream is supposed to be all that is good, serving the village, serving the multiverse, even at the expense of himself. I’m unfortunately not as versed in Dream’s canon, or at least feel that way, which is kind of ironic. He’s supposed to be the good guy. And again, I feel like this is where we run into that same ‘issue’ of people wanting these two to be more dynamic characters, or just see them act in different ways. You don’t think that someone who is purely good is really just that, no one is. A character placed so high on a pedestal, what is it that makes him snap? What is he was the evil one?! Dramatic gasp! ]

[ * And once more, transformative works! It’s fine it’s cool! If someone portraying them this way isn’t what you want, hit the bricks and all! ]

[ * Part of me thinks that this stems again from the twins backstory— A character being hurt because of others judging them for something they can’t control, something painted as bad and evil, a character we likely see more of (not fact checked, just an assumption) will probably be someone people want to be good more than they want the character who already is good to stay good. (Oh that was probably a nonsense sentence. Sorry-) ]

[ * I don’t know how to end this, or what my point is. These characters are just fascinating. I’m not very well practiced in writing or figuring out what makes a character tick, so this could all be bs and I don’t even realize it! ]

[ * if you read this far have a cookie 🍪 ]

[singswan-springswan]

Batfam brainrot said imagine a Hunger Games AU for them and I have little self control so now I'm thinking about it. Which is tricky. Because I'm not very familiar with the DC cast at large. Things I headcanon:

Tim is the tribute of interest. He's reaped despite his name only being entered once, and it's kind of a quiet political scandal, but no one really makes a fuss because his parents suck.

Bruce is Tim's mentor. Can't decide if he's from the Capital or not and serves as a mentor after volunteering to go to the districts or something something administrative bs maybe he actually is from the districts and is a victor

Dick is definitely a past victor in the same district---I'm thinking District 1 because aren't they supposed to be fancy and stuff? Fits with both the glamor of the circus for Dick and the wealth of people like Bruce and the Drakes (full disclosure my knowledge of the Panem verse is limited to stuff from fics and the movies and personal curiosity research) Dick is highly desired by Capital Folk for his physical beauty and alluring charm and yet very exclusive as far as prostitution goes because Dick resists tooth and nail as much as he dares behind the scenes. Also Bruce does everything in his power to help, which sadly isn't much since the system is rigged but it's better than the alternative

Don't let Dick's pretty face and sunshine smile fool you; he won his games through unconventional brutality. He's a lethal fighter and one kriff of a detective, while we're at it. Definitely a huge asset to the rebellion

Of course Tim knows that Dick Grayson and his famous father Bruce Wayne are part of some rebellion against the Capital. He's not snitching. He thinks it's cool. He asks to be part of it when he's reaped, and the predatory tension in Grayson's toothy grin would mean less beside Bruce's stormy scowl if the rebellion hadn't gotten Jason killed two years ago. Tim knows about that too. He knows it's a big deal, but he's probably going to die anyway so he might as well help out in the few weeks before then.

The Joker was gamemaker the year of Jason's death. Idk exactly why he ended up being a tribute because surely at that point Bruce has adopted him. Maybe he volunteers for a kid who's like twelve and has no one, and Jason figures he stands a solid chance because he's been training for years and also his family is the Waynes, but the Joker ends up killing him violently and horrifically and a lot of people grieve across the country. No one expected Jason to be killed. Die, maybe, but not be killed. The Joker's the only one who finds the whole thing entertaining. He disappears soon thereafter without a trace (Dick and Friends commit murder).

What no one knows, however, is that Talia saves Jason's body from the arena and resurrects it with the help of her father by the time Tim's game rolls around. Jason is broken and beaten and lost and confused and full of rage. His only comfort is knowing his family avenged his death. Under Talia's guidance, he continues training, though he must keep his identity secret from everyone, including his dad and brother. This version of Jason isn't as antagonistic as canon and actually works to help the rebellion as a secret agent/informant once his time with Talia is over. He's ruthless. Does lots of crimes. His combatant training, calloused mind, and the freak detective skills instilled by his father make for a deadly combination, and he begins to operate as an urban legend within the Capital, collecting every dirty secret every political corruption and the long list of quiet atrocities to use against those in charge later on, leaving a bloody trail of bodies in his wake. Talia couldn't be more proud. As part of the rebellion, Bruce is grateful for the intel this anonymous source provides, but a little unnerved by the methods everyone knows (but can't prove) he's using to get it.

The Al Ghul's and the League of Assasins can just be the government's enforcers. Talia specifically is in charge of training the tributes before the games, so it makes sense for her and Bruce to cross paths occassionally. They're tentative allies. She's not necessarily a rebel, but she is a little bit in the loop and is content to see where the chips fall either way. Damian is raised in semi-secret. Obviously no one knows he's the son of the reknowned Bruce Wayne, but he does publicly exist, if barely. Talia would have sent him to the career academy if she wanted her son anywhere near the games. She doesn't. She and her father can train him just as well without the dead end that path leads down. Besides, he's the child of her beloved as well, and she wants Bruce to know the kid past eighteen.

Steph might be one of the other tributes in the same game as Tim. They become fast friends and she almost instantly worms her way into the rebellion. It gives Bruce a bajillion gray hairs because now he only has two weeks to figure out how to get them both out alive and the star crossed lovers thing hasn't worked ever but faking someone's death is twice as complicated and he's pretty sure Tim could only sit still long enough if he passed out from caffeine overdose. Then Duke is there too with them big ole eyes and sometimes the lights glow brighter in the room when he walks in and Bruce is getting too old for this.

Cass is a mutt created by the Capital. She's originally used as a weapon to eliminate perceived enemies of the state, etc etc and honed into a living weapon. Somewhere along the way she finds Bruce when he's doing Spy Stuff or something and he survives her assassination attempt and decides yeah okay always down for another kid, disregarding the fact that she may or may not be human exactly and doesn't appear to have any experience actually being human. It's okay though. Dick's teaching her how to dance. She might not know what language is yet, but she's learning to dance and that might be better anyway.

Tim's game very nearly goes to kriff because Bruce almost can't fake everyone's death in time, and if he wasn't able to pull it off, he and Clark and Selina and Diana and a bunch of other people were fully prepared to storm the arena and shut it down themselves to save the kiddos. But it's okay they made it to the end. Tim enjoys being legally dead a lot more than might be healthy and everyone is grateful he's on their side. Who "wins" that year's game? Maybe Kon. Bart's fake death was really dramatic and Dick laughed the whole time he was watching. Duke is convinced the leaked radiation from his faked death gave him super powers. It's all Bruce can do to make him not test that theory in the most unhinged dangerous chaotic way possible.

It isn't until the quarter quell or whatever that the rebellion breaks containment. Previous victors are reaped so Dick is thrown back into the wringer despite public outrage hehe. Barbara can be there too. I'm thinking she's from district 3 because tek and she and Tim can be hacker buddies. She was paralyzed by her game. Maybe sprinkle in some Roy, possibly Titans and a token Slade for goofs and giggles. Naturally, half these people are part of the rebellion. The rest definitely know about it. There are riots. They blow up the arena. Whoopsies, started a war.

It isn't until the batfam relocates to district 13 that Jason is revealed to be alive. I'm imagining them narrowly escaping the chaos in the Capital, bruised and battered, bunkering down in this secret forgotton part of their country and then Jason's just sitting in the cafeteria sipping coffee reading Hamlet. He looks just as startled to see them there as they are to find him. His boots are muddy on the table. No one else in for military rations seems to pay that any mind. Tim's pulling out his mobile blood toxicity test kit to check for hallucinagens in their systems by the time Jason works up the brain function to sip his coffee again. "Sup Dad" He says casually, because he's a little piece of crap.

I think Bruce faints.

the funniest part is that Jason's been keeping tabs on his family ever since etering the field full time, so he knows them all very intimately but keeps forgetting he's never actually met some of his new siblings so sometimes they go really still staring at him like they're talking to a ghost and he gets snippy about it before he remembers. Damian's the only one who knew Jason was alive and doing his own rebel thing because Jason taught him how to read when he was still training with Talia but Damian never mentioned it because "no one ever asked" (read: he's also a little piece of crap)

not really sure who the president would be. Idk if there are any villains down to earth enough that could reasonably fit the bill but also be general enough to account for all the other heroes not included in the batfam ie the supers and wonders and lanterns martians and everyone in between. Anyway the point is that that loser (or maybe group of losers; i wouldn't be opposed to an oligarchy dictatorship) is going down by the power of family and friendship. The rebels win because they have more fun. Good for them we stan some quality shenanigans

No one we like dies

[whumpshaped]

are you religious? On account of all the recent bible posting. I'm not Christian myself but I have to hand it to them, the whole "eating Jesus's body and drinking his blood" is really cool

im actually not! well. idk. reading the bible and talking abt it rly makes me wanna be christian again.

tl;dr i am considering accepting jesus christ into my heart but i dont know if itll happen bc whenever i type or say anything slightly religious i cringe or make it into a joke. also sorry to any christian who finds my bible posting

i was raised catholic, went to church and bible study for 3 yrs, did my first communion, then dipped bc it was horrid. i was so so against being catholic u cannot imagine. i was against church, i was against begging some man in the sky for mercy, i was against their gay policy, i was against saying my pets had no soul- i was against absolutely everything except some bops in church

then i had my first big voluntary christian phase at 13-14 in which i drew more towards protestantism and attempted to read the bible cover to cover (i failed but theres a lot that i read.) i went to a lutheran hs for 2 yrs in seventh and eighth grade so that mightve influenced it tho i HATED monday morning worship at 7am and i cant believe its still happening even tho ppl routinely fainted and shit. bc u have to stand. the whole time

i also wanted to be a nun for a goooood while but turns out im just aroace and autistic (chastity and rigid rules sounds amazing to me huh)

so im 21 now and i started writing my angel demon story and i wanted to make heaven a cult like dystopia (and it turned into my own ranting at some points) and i wanted to give cassael actual bible-accurate problems. bible-accurate brainwashing lol it came to me because something i said abt them either on here or in rp made me remember that verse abt the yoke and stuff (my yoke is easy and my burden is light) and i was like wait i should read the bible and pick out the whumpiest worst most horrid most easy to misinterpret and turn horrible verses. so here i am.

but then i got rly rly into it. its remarkably easy to enjoy the story when im not reading the 1908 károli translation and spending all my spoons untangling the wording. and the thing is, i was always spiritual yknow. thats why i bounced so much between faiths and beliefs. ive followed the law of assumption stuff for a year or so now, i had genuine results from it- honestly everything i believed in has yielded good results for me always. whether it be christianity or paganism or loa. when i read the bible i DO feel loved even thru the incredible amount of horrid shit god does lol i felt loved at 13 and i feel loved now. so idk. im withholding judgement until i finish reading it but honestly nobody be surprised if i go back to my christian bs before the semester starts

oh thats another thing. im miserable lmao so not very hard for god to swoop in and be like hey do u wanna talk abt ur lord and saviour. me.

but im not rly gonna change in any way even if i do decide that tho, i think. my policy is already "be kind do good leave others alone". i dont think im gonna get preachy on here or anything. i mean has anyone seen much vegan posting from me? so i think im good

so . yea. sorry it turned into such a long post

[loveakii]

was rereading some of the tempest and idk if this makes any sense but like combine miranda’s lines with prospero’s authority and dynamic with caliban and i see some resemblance with logan and kendall. he made him in his image. logan/prospero’s blessing (unbeknownst to him) is kendal/caliban’s curse. to the oppressive mentor/abuser the pupil/victim should be grateful. also the way logan and prospero are both cast off from home, logan from war and prospero because of his obsession with magic, reach a new land and spend the rest of their time there colonizing and/or monopolizing

it’s been 2 years since i’ve & studied this for school and i’m not really well versed in shakespeare (the language is just too difficult for me it overloads my brain) so this might just be bs but i thought it was interesting

[kk-dirge]

anyways. regularly scheduled pkau updates (idk where i even left off)

'classic' pkau (aka the one thats actually in da pokemon world. the og one) is.. sort of on a hiatus for now. it bums me out to even admit it because this year is the 10th anniv, but like. fandom bs on twit damaged my relationship to the classic pkau verse as a fanwork and thing i enjoyed.

which is kind of awful to think about but i do feel like it also may be in part to some form of burnout, too. so even if it freaks me out to admit it, i think it's ok to let it take a bit of a nap to refresh my energy for it

however! since ive still been slowly rotating postgame and the mystery dungeon storyline (which is connected still).. theres a few new kiddos :3 most importantly. theres bazkaguharu twins now (also lune stopped being a deadbeat)

ultra arc. is. is um. rabbits as usual? again idr where i left off really but to summarize:

there's moon people now (people on the moon. they were just there vibing the whole time)

actually solidified the whole worldbuilding behind anomalies + how they function

On a related note did you have a favorite song from Victorious?

This is such an interesting question omg

I think like most people, I easily fell in love with Take A Hint because it's so badass and well done. And for the time - it felt so amazing and feminist to be shown to young girls. Even with all the innuendos in the show and inappropriate situations that they put the female actresses into and the BS going on behind the scenes, this song is a fucking win. This song feels like female empowerment. And it's one I can go back to and listen to so often and still enjoy it.

I also really love Best Friend's Brother - while I love the Prome episode that it's in, I always wished that they had actually done a storyline that used this song in context. Like why couldn't they have a storyline of Tori falling for a brother of someone in the friend group in order to incorporate this song? Especially because someone like Beck or Andre could have a sibling who went to another school who just appeared out of nowhere and is randomly really hot. And Tori has a revolving door of love interests instead of a constant one like Jade, so it could be a 'flavor of the week' thing where they don't have to keep the actor on for long - and she could tell the friend in the group that she has a crush on their brother using this song? Idk, it just feels like a missed opportunity to me.

And just to throw in some songs from the show that are way less talked about:

I fucking love Andre's song from the dancing food episode when he revamped it into a real love song - which I am now learning is called Song To You. The transformation from a kid's song about dancing food to a real catchy pop love song smacked me in the face and this version always got stuck in my head in the best way. (I also fucking love Andre's soft singing voice.)

I also unironically love Robbie's song about broken glass. It's giving Bo Burnham and the dark humor actually makes me laugh every fucking time. I want ten more verses of this please

[letstrywritingmaybe]

I AM LOSING MY MIND OVER THIS KDRAMA!!!! Omm she did not just say the term I think of for CoAi. Dude I kept thinking about the possibilities of this being a CoAi verse but I didn’t like it cause the guy is not like him at all. Okay I only freaked because she literally said they share the same fate, idk if it’s just the translation or what cause I’m watching it Chinese subbed, but the translation they used was literally the one CoAi uses and I freaked so bad. I was immediately like okay, this is officially a CoAi verse now. Even though I wasn’t on board at first, but now I get it!

Unrelated note: MY STEELERS ARE PLAYOFF BOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really should write to celebrate but I’m so busy and when I do get down time I just so do not feel like working on things. I have like no days off. I barely have time to read/watch things (I guess on a sorta related note now. I’ve read a second Sherlock book and the man carries a revolver and kills people, or I guess criminals but still. So I’m guessing it’s the Batman code that influences the no killing, which I have mixed feelings about but now’s not the time to focus on it)

Update: I hate twitter, people are there to fight and start shit I swear. I just want to see more art of my ship but I see too much bs from canon shippers. Okay I guess I should buckle down and try writing while I have a little time *sigh

Update 2: I have like zero days off this week now, but I did start the next chapter of the sibling verse! That counts for something right? I’m hoping to finish that soon then start one of the new WIPs I promised I would get to

Update 3: it’s official, I’ve gone back to thinking all kdramas are just different CoAi verses. *sigh it’s my love of AUs and need for constant content cause canon gives me nothing to look forward to. I’ve long given up on hoping, but it doesn’t make it hurt any less when I see canon ship related things. It makes me spiteful, and I hate it because I really hate love triangles! They’re never done well! Anyways, I’m hopefully going to be done with the next chapter of the sibling verse soon

Since this fic is part of my verse, I’m definitely gonna be taking out the romantic Hyde/Donna bs. Or at I wouldn’t have Hyde be a creep about it. Idk.

So for my Tarocchini au, I’ve got a slight idea of when each person joins:

Kamoshida: Ren, Ryuji, Ann, Mona, Mishima

Madarame: Yusuke, Hifumi, Chihaya

Kaneshiro: Makoto, Yoshida, Ohya

Futaba: Futaba, Takemi, iwai

Okumura: Haru, Kawakami, Shinya

Niijima: Akechi, Sojiro

Shido: Sae

Maruki: Kasumi

For my reasonings:

Kamoshida: obvi the main characters, plus Mishima because he has personal stakes here

Madarame: Hifumi appears earlier! I think she would be kinda interested in Yusuke’s situation. I don’t think they’re friends, but she sees the change in his demeanor, and finds the thieves in their little hideout & tails them in. Not sure how Chihaya fits in tho

Kaneshiro: this is the only one I’m 100% sure of. Both Yoshida and Ohya I think fit in pretty well, with Yoshida being a disgraced politician thanks to a money-laundering scheme, while Ohya’s a reporter who was hot on the heels of the conspiracy. I think it’s pretty interesting, narrative-wise

Futaba: I’ll keep it real, Iwai and Takemi were only put here because they both didn’t really fit in anywhere else. Like, I can bs about Takemi being here, but I got nothing for Iwai

Okumura: similar to above, but with a twist. I think, in this au, it’d be interesting for Mona’s little hissy-fit to make him want to seek out people he could train so he could attack Okumura’s palace. He finds and starts to train Shinya, but then Ren hangs out with Shinya so Mona leaves. Repeat with Kawakami, and finally Haru. Idk I’ll flesh it out later.

Niijima: ties into the scene where Sojiro finds the calling card. It plays out like normal, until Sojiro demands to be taken to the meta verse. while he’s talking, he mentions mementos, his phone’s nav* goes off, and then he’s in there, nearly dies, gets his persona, there it is.

Shido: Sae ends up on the ship thanks to her own meta-nav going off, so it’s similar to Sojiro

Maruki: same as royal

*in this au, I think it’d be interesting if every confidant Ren gets gains the Nav after rank 1. They all write it off at first, but it isn’t until they’re in the metaverse that they realize what it is.

Thing is, some characters like Chihaya and Iwai don’t really have a narrative place where they fit coherently, and I’m trying to balance the influx in a rational way

I’ve been thinking about them being like, mementos missions on steroids, but idk

I’ve been thinking about other things relating to this AU (especially as I finish 3rd semester, god that’ll be a pain) but if u wanna hear more, send an ask my way!
