[vanillabeenflower]

I wanted to practice drawing close hugs since the angle of the bodies and judging the width/thickness of the chest and how far apart the torsos should be is kinda hard for me

[puppetsoftomorrow]

i think when sara and ava come back to earth to have their baby they discover theres like. So much hero merch. so their daughter gets supergirl barbies and action figures of the flash and the green arrow, along with sets of their bases, villians for them to defeat etc. and the legends think its fun so they fabricate a waverider play set and legends action figures for her too

[imaven]

su pregunta lo irritó en un inicio, pero tenía razón, ella no tenía porqué saber qué era lo que traía el belga colgando de su mano. arrugó su nariz y soltó un suspiro pesado, su semblante se veía demasiado serio para lo que solía compartir con la pelinegra. ‘ es un dispositivo de rastreo, esa luz verde significa que está dándole señales a los profesores de donde estoy en tiempo real ’ enseñó el círculo que se prendía incluso de noche y era incapaz de dormir con él apretando sobre su muñeca. también con la imagen de la tercera nombrándolo, una y otra vez, repitiéndose como un disco que estaba roto. la vio afligida, sin esa expresión de antaño en su rostro, esa despreocupada con la que solía reírse hasta que le doliese el estómago o se inventaba escenarios sólo por diversión. la negativa lo decepcionó de golpe, porque sabía que era verdad, pero el abandono de la escena se vio interrumpido cuando todo se desencadenó después frente a sus ojos. y allí estaba, una vez más, sin ser capaz de sentir verdadero rencor hacia alguien. sin importarle cuántas veces terceros apuñalaran su espalda o sus brazos, el frente. lo que fuese. ‘ polly ’ si su voz se quiebra un poco al final, lo esconde, y si una película acuosa se forma sobre sus orbes las seca con el aire ambiental. dio un paso hacia ella, titubeando, quería abrazarla apenas volvió a ver abrirse sus profundidades café. al comenzar a narrar su mención, su ira se direcciona hacia otro rostro: institución de mierda. bajó su mirada hacia sus manos y no pudo evitar dar un paso más, dos. tres si eran necesario. los suficientes para que su mano tomase el mentón contrario y lograse acariciar con la yema de sus dedos el borde de su rostro, había estado tan enojado que no se detuvo a pensar en cómo se sentía ella. ‘ está bien, polly ’ le sonrió como solía hacerlo en tiempos pretéritos, que se sentían tan lejanos como cerca, en la piscina o de la mano por berna. cuando se conocieron y fueron a comprar un libro, que aún está en su estante esperando a ser leído. ‘ no pasa nada, no es tu culpa ’ negó con su cabeza y estiró su brazo para poder abrazarla. ‘ perdón por pensar mal de ti ’ y no lo mencionó. la imagen que se creó en su cabeza una y otra vez, nunca fue real. porque ella sólo nombró una situación, una instancia. un acontecimiento que ellos creyeron y juzgaron como sospechoso.  

quiere decir que no hace falta que le preste su prenda pero la voz de su madre le resuena en la cabeza: decir que no también puede caer en un gesto maleducado. sonríe con los labios sellados pero dicha sonrisa no llega a sus ojos, no es ninguna tonta y es claro que hay algo en el ambiente tan tenso que podría cortarse con un cuchillo sumamente afilado. "gracias, no tenías por qué hacerlo…" concede finalmente y pese a que ahora hay algo que cubre sus brazos, su posición no cambia, como si estuviera buscando protegerse de algo. su mirada recae ahora en lo que ahora le muestra sobre su muñeca. frunce el ceño, parece una especie de apple watch pero no comprende su función. "¿qué es eso?" cuestiona alzando la mirada para encontrarle, hay mucha confusión en su gesto pero una parte de ella comprende que aquella conversación no va por ninguna dirección buena. la siguiente pregunta la hace abrir sus ojos de par en par ¿qué? le toma un par de segundos poner sus pensamientos en orden, recordar todo lo que ocurrió a partir del asalto de los encapuchados. el mero recuerdo le trae de vuelta el dolor de cabeza que hasta ese momento parece solo haberse acostumbrado a su presencia, más que aliviarlo. "no" responde directamente pero entonces el recuerdo se vuelve más amplio, el interrogatorio y respuesta que danza vagamente en su memoria. abre su boca con sorpresa y sus manos van directamente sobre sus labios, cubriéndolos. el temblor en dedos es evidente pero el frío parece tener poco que ver. oculta su mirada detrás de sus párpados un par de segundos y vuelve a abrirlos para encontrarse con la imagen del belga. todo tenía sentido ahora, todo lo que estaba ocurriendo a su alrededor hacía sentido poco a poco. "c–creo" comienza tratando de controlar el temblor de todo su cuerpo. "creo que–" se le quiebra la voz. "m–mencioné l-las fiestas" dice finalmente. "en– ambas clases" admite. "mencioné que– que un grupo de–de personas estaban planeando una fiesta en ambas clases antes del ataque" continúa con mucha dificultad. a esas alturas su mirada no está fija en interlocutor, sino en sus propios dedos que se mueven entre ellos, rascando con las uñas la piel alrededor de estas. "y lo extraño que eso me pareció" confiesa finalmente.

Gender: No label (all pronouns)

Orientation: Arospec queer

DOOM COMET

#1 Animation Fan

*Uni uses no specific term to describe her gender other than “transfem”. -

I’m a little new to tumblr formatting, so I hope this works good!

Just to note, Uni’s goggles are *not* magic and do not help them see. She has the same limited vision as she does in Sparklecare, and their house is accommodated for to make things more comfortable for her and Polly in terms of getting around.

I couldn’t decide whether to give Uni partial or no vision, so if anyone has a suggestion or better idea please let me know! For the time being, it will be as I explained above. Thank you!

Scientific reason eggs appear randomly in spinch and why the the comets HAVE SO MANY DAMNED KIDS

(This is a messy uncanon blurb, since God is in fact real on spinch LOL, take this with a grain of salt.

Messy blurb under read more, talks of sex and sexual reproduction

Anthries reproduce closer to plants such as ferns. After puberty each anthry starts producing asexually, they produce these sexual reproducing amoeba.

The amoeba die very quickly and have a low chance of reproduction, which is why casual hang outs you aren't gonna have babies.

Long time partners have an increase chance of making children. (Friend, fwb, partners, qprs, etc)

Anthry sex creates more strong amoeba and encourages more sexual reproduction within amoeba.

Take Doolly, the first born. In the hospital due to the amoeba being very weak they die of everything, which is the real reason why no one has kids in the hospital.

Anyways when Doom and Polly are in a safer environment, spend a lot of time together, and even get intimate. The amoeba mate more often.

Finally one of the amoeba lay a fertilized egg and lay it in a warm place. (Let's say a bundle of blankets) they are microscopic at first but grow rapidly. Which is why eggs seem to appear out of nowhere.

Also to prevent inbreeding, amoeba that reproduce with related amoeba almost never succeed bc the egg is too weak to sustain life.

Amoeba usually can tell there related and avoid each other anyways.

What I'm saying is Doom has the most kids bc he's fucking the most and spends the most time with all of his partners.

(ooc) this might sound silly, but will we get see what side patients have become in the cc au? :0 i mean we got to see the chunklings (that was so unexpected to happen but oh my god am i happy about it<3) so now im wondering if we'll get to see what others have become? or at least the friends of the main polycule (like finn who is close to polly for exemple) and other main-cast-related characters!!

sorry if its worded weirdly aaaa

OOC: not silly at all, they are in the AU yes :] some of them are in relationships with the comet parents

[sparklecareforrealjustice]

hey mods, whats the ship that you most hate or dislike? caroom, hemeruni, what ships?

I am stuck between two choices, the first is rather obvious. Carroom is a ship that is abuser x abuser and the entirety of kisswas "I loved him too" reveal came from the depths of Tartarus as it was new showed nor even implied once, in fact quite the opposite was implied before so It is completely an enigma where this ship came from and even more a mystery why KC though they would be a good pair. The second choice though is a bit more, controversial and much less obvious though. That being Barruni, allow me to explain. Uni has shown on multiple occasions that she does not respect Barry's boundaries about magic and even actively seems to intentionally use magic in front of him on occasions despite knowing that he dislikes her use of it, Uni has gotten away with far too much for me to believe that Barry would still actively engage in a proper relationship with her after all of this. I also fear that after all of this, KC wont even know how to do Barruni that well without horribly mischaracterizing them on both ends in a way that leaves all of their previous personality traits behind and just makes them previous husks of their former self. Thank you for the ask anon. - Mod Sunny

carroom. there's a post explaining why i hate it so much. abuser x abuser trope? fucking disgusting. plus, it's shitty writing of a cliche that doesn't even make proper sense to me. -🚬

personally, i don't have one ship i hate. it's a whole genre of ships - anything with side characters in it. on the wayback machine, on the faq for the site, we're told some of the official ships are kills x shortnick, jean x orange, and caroline x kiki. but (obviously except for caroline), what do we know about these characters in order to ship them? we know maybe a sentence or two worth's of information about them! that's not enough!!! even with the more popular small ships that are also canon: mood x rem, pinata x funfetti, mel x cyn, jay x caroline... we get scraps of interaction and ship moments in the comic, if anything at all (seriously, jay x caroline? where is that coming from? they're two major characters but there's still nothing!) i wish characters were elaborated on more before they're shipped, which is also why i don't understand any ships with the chunklings. they've been here a while but we don't know anything about them. and yes, before anyone asks, this does apply to polly as well. they're a major comet parent, and yet... there's nothing actually there. -mod polly 🧊

personally i agree with mod sunny with carroom tho i dont have much else to commentate as the shipping discourse doesnt interest me too much as i feel more frustration at the handling of some characters sexualities and romantic preferences - uni

Carroom. It's just romanticized Stockholm syndrome and I fucking HATE that kc seems to romanticize the worst shit ever. -🧪

I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT ELSE TO ADD THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS ALREADY SAID BUT IT'S CARROOM. WE ALL HATE CARROOM IN THIS HOUSE. -🐁🩸

I wouldn’t mention Hemeruni if I were you- BESIDES that! Uh.. Camera is probably going to be my pick, mostly because it just… doesn’t make sense to me! My brain ain’t big, but I know a weird ship when I see one! Of course time is still involved with deciding those factors… but right now? Camera is a no go. -mod hemmy

Why CometCare is the best ending (AKA why the public knowing about SparkleCare isn’t possible)

Let’s say, by some insane leak from a government official mad about their paycheck, the events of SparkleCare got leaked to the public, with enough evidence to back all of it up. Hooray right? Everyone knows what the patients and staff went through. Now this is the best ending! Here’s several reasons why this happening would be AWFUL for the Comet family (and nearfamily)

-Staff would be arrested | Imagine that you hear that the hospital you thought was safe and caring for their patients was actually torturing and killing them instead, while siphoning money out of their insurance. What would be your first reaction? The likely answer is get everyone involved imprisoned! And the government, now having to clean up their mess, would likely follow through with this in an attempt to show that they’re not incompetent. Now who do we know that was involved? This does include immoral characters like Sunny and Cuddles, but this also includes ALL the staff, like Boxa, Lovella, and most importantly for the Comets, DOOM, Mood, and Rem. I don’t think I need to explain why DOOM being arrested would be devastating for the Comets.

-EVERYONE finds out | The only person we see in CometCare that knows anything about SparkleCare outside of those involved with it, is Faerie. Faerie has a strained relationship with their parents, ESPECIALLY Boxa, due to him knowing what she did to people. Now imagine how characters like Marco or Cream would react to finding out one of their parents tortured and killed people. It’s stated in DOOM’s Toyhouse page that Marco’s respect means the world to him, and he does everything he can to make sure he doesn’t lose that respect. And Cream is noted for latching onto a bad thing about someone and never being able to move on from it. Needless to say, if DOOM somehow got out of being arrested, this would devastate him just as much. And this also affects the other parents, Uni, Polly, and Barry. A lot of their kids definitely wouldn’t understand why they were lying to them about all of this, and this would harm their relationship with their kids greatly. While this does mainly affect DOOM, I’m pretty sure finding out that their parents kept something like that hidden from them would sour their relationship quite a bit.

-Internet being the internet | Now this is mostly unsupported information, but considering that NO ONE believed the patients that broke into the music festival, covered in their own blood and wounds, it wouldn’t shock me if there were still some Bwitter users that think all of it is a government coverup for something else. Personally I would prefer everyone having mostly forgotten about SparkleCare’s existence, over having a bunch of True Crime podcasts talking about my trauma for money, and seeing a bunch of morons try to prove how all of it was a coverup to raise gas prices by 2%. This would be horrible for all the patients and staff, as well as their kids having to see that. Uni is also somewhat of an influencer online, so I’m sure that info coming out would be very traumatizing to both her and her fans on KneeTube.

While it sucks that all the atrocities that Cuddles committed are locked down in a government database somewhere, forever hidden from the public eye, this is just how it has to be. CometCare is the “best case scenario” for a reason. It’s simply impossible for that info to be public, AND have the victims live normal lives.

Halloween fic request if that’s okay.

Set after the comet, Archie and Betty’s kids old enough to understand and get excited for Halloween and trick or treating but up until this point they haven’t celebrated Halloween because they both (probably Betty more so) get a bit apprehensive/ nervous around Halloween given the ones they’ve had in the past e.g Betty having people knock on the door dressed as the Black Hood and Gargoyle King and the prank phone calls. So this would be their first time celebrating Halloween together and as a family.

As crazy as it sounded, Betty and Archie had never celebrated Halloween together since becoming a married couple. The holiday brought back bad memories so they chose to do a Twilight Zone marathon and eat tons of snacks instead. They liked throwing a bucket of candy on the front porch for the neighbor kids and turning out the lights so it looked like no one was home. But now that they have a growing family—Freddie was two and they hoped there would be another little one by next autumn if all went to plan—they wondered if they should start doing something special to celebrate. Freddie had noticed the jack-o-lanterns in the neighbors’ yards and the ghosts full of candy on display in the grocery store. Lil’ Freddie was a sensitive boy, and didn’t like scary things, but couldn’t stop talking about “making a pumpkin face” and getting candy out of a ghost. 

One afternoon, they went shopping and Freddie’s brown eyes lit up at an isle full of costumes. Betty gave Archie a knowing look and they both knew what they needed to do. They told Freddie, nearly jumping from excitement in the isle of the store, Halloween was a fun night where people dressed up for silly tricks and treats. They let him pick his own costume; being an Andrews’ boy, he naturally picked a cowboy one with a little brown hat and plaid shirt. 

After that, Freddie couldn’t stop babbling about his cowboy costume and sheriff pin. At first, Betty apprehensively wanted to keep it simple: they would let Freddie wear his costume, carve a pumpkin, and still be in bed early. But seeing her little boy’s excitement made her change her mind and decide to go all out. By the end of the week, she made costumes for both herself and Archie (they would all be cowboys per Freddie’s request) and bought orange lights to string across their front porch.

When Halloween night finally came, they dressed up and Betty took a million pictures until Archie told her they probably had enough. They carved three pumpkins, saving the seeds to roast later, and then headed out for their family’s first trick-or-treat expedition. Freddie squealed when they went next door and his Aunt Polly opened the door dressed as a witch and handed him a pile of Pumpkin-shaped-Reese’s cups. 

With his candy in his bucket, Freddie immediately asked to go to the next house. Once they said goodbye to his aunt and cousins and walked over, he grew scared and hid against Archie’s leg at the sight of a skeleton in the bushes.

“It’s okay, buddy,” Archie said, rubbing the back of his blonde hair, which stuck out of his lopsided cowboy hat. “Halloween is a little scary but mostly fun.” He looked at Betty and winked. For all the years to come, they kept that philosophy: while Halloween had been scary in the past, it could now be fun in their happily ever after.

I know that in the Riverdale universe there is a multi-hour long YouTube video titled something like “an appropriately unhinged deep dive into the Riverdale 12” just trying to explain and getting into all these conspiracy theories about how these 12 moderately to very famous people are connected.

Like famous sapphic artists and activists Toni Topaz and Cheryl Blossom were close friends with bisexual and polyamorous film producer Veronica Lodge who in highschool was in a polyamorous relationship with feminist magazine founder Betty Cooper - whose sister by the way was burlesque performer Polly Amorous and whose secret half-sister was animator and artist Ethel Muggs - along with famous comic book writer Jughead Jones and some guy named Archie who, guess what, eventually married iconic film star Josie McCoy (yes I have somehow convinced myself that Josie is California Women and nothing can change my mind on that) but he still kept working as a construction worker just for fun and mostly kept out of the public eye. And also basketball player Reggie Mantle was also maybe part of the polycule but that’s unclear. Oh and this group of people’s gay best friend (and yes they’re all gay but he is the gay best friend) was playwrite Kevin Keller whose husband Clay Walker wrote the film adaptation of The Comet which was produced by Veronica Lodge and starred Josie McCoy. Oh and you know that one guy who was hailed as the ‘next elvis’ but then tragically died in a bus crash? Yeah, he and Toni Topaz were in a gang together and also she was his manager back in the day
