Maybe in a Jason lives AU he still got badly injured so he just does support without going into the field, like Oracle but less computer focused

He's just the phone a friend for literature and other reference topics for the latest rogue schemes

See this is my jason lives au which means I get to decide what Jason would do with his life if he never died and I've decided he's gonna be a doctor which kinda lends itself to him being more of a support hero

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

Monster harem romance where the "self-insert(?)" human protagonist is actually a hugely manipulative and terrible person. They may get manhandled by the big strong monsters, but they know how to manipulate them and cut them to the quick to keep them under their heel. Maybe the monsters are tricked into seeing them as defenseless and sweet, or they're attracted by their savagery and capacity for cruelty. The monsters get a cute little plaything to own, and the human has a pack of lovestruck loyal pets under their control to use to their own ends.

A human, but yet another monster all the same.

Do Leo and Usagi hate each other in the post apocalyptic future?

Not really...? They just have a bit of unresolved tension. I have a lil storyline in my head where they kinda split up a little before the apocalypse started. Usagi went back home for a few years and Leo obviously stayed behind. Usagi would have eventually caught word of what was happening in New York with the Krang and the resistance and makes the journey back to rejoin Leo. I think Usagi kind of 'convinces' himself that Leo could use the help from an old 'friend' (wink wink) and uses that as his excuse to rejoin him. In reality, Usagi misses Leo very much and wants to support him...aw.

Anywhizzle, they left off on rough terms, so Usagi's main focus was originally just to help out Leo and possibly join the resistance if necessary, not to re-kindle a relationship. However, both of them never really let go of their feelings for each other when they were apart, so they do end up getting back together. In my lil story, I imagine that they aren't actually very public or open about being back in a relationship. Especially with Leo now being the leader of the resistance, he doesn't really have time or energy to spend on an open relationship and Usagi understands and respects this. However, they do manage to find time to spend with each other and talk and do normal couple stuff to 'recuperate' away from the war. Usagi stays and doesn't leave his side, and knowing me and how I write 'stories', things will probably not end well or happily ever after for them. Then again, this is all just a lil ramble of a story that probably won't happen...so yeah

Sticking this here just cuz~

My kitten has a new favorite teeny tiny mouse toy that we got at her first vet checkup and she loves it so much. We call it her mousey. She goes crazy over it and could play with it for hours, but sometimes she bats it somewhere she can't reach and we have to get it for her

Today she was getting into a bunch of stuff she shouldn't and I realized that I hadn't seen her playing with her mousey all day. So I asked out loud (rhetorically) "where's your mousey?" and started looking for it so I could give her that to play with instead. As soon as I said that though she walked over to a box of my gf's craft stuff and started pawing behind it, and when I moved it the mousey was right there

She knows the word mousey and she led me to her toy so I could get it for her 🥺 she's such a smart baby

i don't know when exactly it happened, but world falling (the fic not the series) hit 300 kudos?? that's so many people??? you're telling me that many people (and maybe more??) like my funky lil words? that feels impossible

i started that fic and this series because i fell in love with fable and wanted to contribute to the fandom in some way, and my go to is to write. i love writing fic because my dream is to someday publish an original work, and fanfic is such a fun way to practice those skills.

yall are incredible, thank you for showing my fics so much love, it means the world to me <3

Wait ok monngos ask is also making me think in general abt kanako and chujins magic. I want to know what type of bullet patterns they have. Whether they have any cool abilities like cerobas hp depletion or starlos slow-motion. Whether they even HAD strong magical abilities at all. I must know.

i'm a petty bitch. if i see otherwise pretty art of a character i like spammed in unrelated characters' tags, i'll simply refuse to like/reblog it sry 🤷🏻‍♀️

[gloriousmonsters]

modern games can try and scare you with as many hi-res zombies as they want nothing will EVER beat the sheer adrenaline of running your little pixel character away from another little pixel character moving at moderately high speeds. all my free japanese rpgs downloaded off the internet folks know what i'm talking about

[vriska]

wild to be talking about it again at all but i guess in reference to the new homestuck beyond canon update stuff all i have to say is like...... idk man, theres nothing inherently wrong with referential humor and using memes, even outdated ones, in homestuck bc homestuck did that plenty! but its all about like, the context, you cant just have them fucking spouting memes just to spout a meme!!!!! like i'll say the no bitches thing, that felt like something sollux would say without needing context of thats a meme

but terezi doing the berries and cream bit just, it doesnt work, why would she say that? why would she even know about the berries and cream shit lmao it just didnt feel right and stuck out badly, like legit it felt like some kind of 'incorrect quotes' blog type shit rather than like an actual joke you should use

IDK MAN homestuck is just... its so hard trying to capture that same magic it once had, its an uphill battle for sure and i'd have been content if they just let it survive in fandom instead of trying to keep making it come back

I was wondering if there are any rare happy ritsu moments in ur zombie au since hes always miserable I think,, like is he always miserable or is he happy/not miserable and feeling kinda good sometimes?

VWHDGDGD NO YEAH OFC HE'S HAPPY SOMETIMES im just horrible and enjoy putting him through misery

ive never been able to get a genuine smile to look right on his face in my art style either i think thats part of it. as ive said his face is just built to be mildly uncomfortable and bothered and i lean into it sm it's starting to get kinda funny

but yes ritsu is happy plenty! i think, canonically, he just seems like the type of person to me that tends to turn lemonade back into lemons. he's easy to scare and his first reaction to things is often Dread and Anxiety. he dwells on the negatives a lot and seems to be a "hope for the best, expect the worst," kinda guy, but there's a section in this post abt shigeo always loving the little things in life, and ritsu steadily learns throughout the journey on how to do that and how healing it can rly be. even if he had to grow up too fast during this whole thing and learn things a kid should never have to, the journey also gave him some good insight and lessons in other places! ritsu is smart, he figures it all out

in terms of little things here n there he's the happiest lil guy on the planet when he finds one of his favorite foods—swings his legs while he sits and munches on a kitkat bar like he's got absolutely nothin in the world to worry abt. sometimes mob does smth funny that he laughs at; for the longest time i've had this silly image in my head of mob accidentally knocking down a bucket from a store shelf and it lands on his head and he just kinda stands there and makes noises.when the noises continue out of pure curiosity about the weird echoey quality it's giving them ritsu cannot help but lose it

besides tiny things tho, when tome comes around ritsu in general is a lot happier, just cuz he has somebody to talk to that will actually respond in some way. they're sorta reluctant partners in crime at first (at least on ritsu's end) but over time and over bonding they grow to rly like each other's presence. they bicker constantly but it's almost always fond eventually, and they shove each other and playfight until mob gets antsy enough to get worked up about it. rly, tome is a godsend to ritsu's mental health—after months and months of being effectively alone with his thoughts, he finally has another person to converse with. a person His Age, too!

tome is rly good at knowing when ritsu is thinkin himself into oblivion and she's Also rly good at being the most annoying girl on the planet to yank him outta that and replace any misery with Oh My God Get Off Me You Freak. she doesn't even do this on purpose at first, but over time she learns how to tell when he's thinking too hard and, ofc, she's grown attached and she cares, so she's as obnoxious as possible to lighten the mood

when they find reigen n teru, ritsu gradually gets Much happier still. now that he knows they're safe and the gang is finally back together (and now that there's an Adult present and he can relax a lil and let himself be taken care of) his stress levels r exponentially lowered. having teru back is another instant lift to his mood—im always a big fan of teru and ritsu friendship, and i think adding tome to their dynamic simply makes it more chaotic. truly a trio of the 3 most normal teenagers in existence which will surely bring nothing but good (reigen sweats offscreen)

actually this makes me feel bad for forever torturing him im gonna go draw happy zau ritsus brb ,.,.ok imback <3
