Birds of a Feather previous / next

#my art #feralnette au #birds of a feather #long tags #sorry I went apeshit in the tags #LETS SAY IT ALL TOGETHER NOW #I - M - A - G - OOOOOOOOO #its fun drawing marinette's back to Alya and having her appear stout and unstoppable and totally logical #and then you see her face and she's like two seconds from completely snapping and is keeping it together by a thread #as a note just because mari feels very certainly abt smth doesnt mean she's right. feelings can be valid and also irrational #in the throes of grief she decided it was better to be alone than to lose someone again so she started pulling away #and lila made pulling away very very very easy to do #shes also vaguely aware she's being unfair in pinning this on alya which is why she started spinning the drain on cockmoth again #legitimately all the shit that's happened to her wouldn't have been so catastrophic if he was never in the picture and she knows it #but the bitterness of her bestie choosing a fantastic liar over her at the worst of times stiiiiiings #alya's personal timing was bad but lila really took advantage of the fact that marinette had been acting off and weird #she basically clocked marinette as being unstable from SOMETHING and made up a lie about her #knowing she wouldn't have the strength to defend herself #between her social life going tachy bc of lila and losing fu in a way that felt like personhood death marinette was really put on the spot #and alya doing her thing of busting in there and assuming her bias is correct was a terrible combo #essentially marinette is highly unstable and alya is just realizing that #busting in and giving her a lecture when she's slightly hysterical and definitely delirious from exhaustion is NOT the way #to show her she's self sabotaging #cuz thats just gonna make her double down on self sabotaging. bc marinette will not accept that she is also a CHIIIIILD

"this female character is underdeveloped" TO YOU. I can read subtext and I know all about her backstory and her rich inner life. also she told me personally

#I honestly think that one of the most enriching and rewarding parts of writing fanfiction is getting to #fully flesh out and explore a character who gets some but not-quite-enough characterization in canon #unless the character is REALLY minor there are always so many threads to pull out and weave into something new #you can even deconstruct the marketing materials! oh this character is only described as 'beautiful'? wonder how she feels about that hmmm #my original post #writing #fanfic #I'm just really proud of what I've been able to do with Miss T. it's almost all right there in the script and lyrics if you'd only look!

Giant bat update: it may or may not have a shard of needle in it somewhere (in case this breaks containment: this is about a giant bat plushie I am sewing not a real bat lol)

#the needle shattered worse than I've ever had one shatter before #into at least four pieces #of which I found three pieces #which is most of the needle! not all of it though #I ran a magnet around inside and out of the piece I was sewing and did not find the missing piece #so it might be inside the sewing machine???#probably is I had to use hemostats to pull the third shard out of the fabric #it had been pinned to the...what's it called #bit the bottom thread comes out of

for @halfofozsfavouriteteam

Prompt: I just need a little air.

"Oh, I love air!" Galinda giggles and makes her way to the window, opening it up with a small smile. It's so much easier to be around Elphaba now that they're friends. As a matter of fact, it's easier than being around anyone else. She doesn't really care about keeping the perfect pose and image all the time and rarely feels as if she needs to hold back on the natural grandiose way she usually expresses herself and she skips and bounces her way back to Elphie, sitting beside her friend on the window.

She is, of course, reading. As she usually does. And Galinda, with zero respect for her friend's personal space, leans over her, trying to take a peak of what she's reading.

"What is this?" She asks, curiously, looking up from the book to Elphaba. If once, she couldn't stand to be close to the girl, now even this distance still doesn't feel like it's enough. It's an odd feeling. She doesn't think she's ever felt this attached to someone. Not even Fiyero.

this is important to me

#he’s so precious i love him to death #also if it wasn’t clear the cat is him #him and lila are little cats to me #also thinking about how it was the sound of kell’s breathing that pulled lila to sleep #always thinking about that #i have so much to say #adsom #a darker shade of magic #shades of magic #kell maresh #lila bard #the fragile threads of power

it really was very heavy handedly eros and psyche the whole time

eros falls in love with psyche after being sent to find her a husband

eros leaves psyche alone after she betrays his trust even tho he still loves her

and, in some of the stories, psyche's trials are made worse by eros in his effort to help her

psyche intends to sacrifice herself at the last trial

psyche is depicted with butterfly wings after being made immortal and granted forgiveness.

so then she and eros can live on in a happy marriage of equals

#bridgerton spoilers #polin #also there's some stuff in there about jealous sisters #and like #psyche being the one to reform eros's slutty ho ways #honestly they ran with it #it is not subtle #actually if you wanted to pull at the threads they're all there #i'm just lazy about it

Okay if you haven't yet, and you have Netflix/Paramount+, consider giving "School Spirits" a chance.

It looks like a silly little cheesy teenage ghosts show, I put it on for background noise, and then got totally engrossed in the mystery. It's VERY well written, very well filmed, the mystery was GREAT and the payoff at the end is also great.

One of the things majorly lacking in shows I've recently tried to watch is that they try to do a twist/reveal at the end that comes out of nowhere. They don't want you to guess what they're doing. This show doesn't do that. This show wants you to guess. They give you seven different mysteries and enough clues to guess (most of) what is going on, so that when you get the final puzzle piece to any given mystery, it feels GREAT.

The story premise is this: a teenager in hs wakes up as a ghost in the hs, and doesn't remember how she died, and with the help of the other ghosts, tries to solve the mystery of her own death.

Simple premise. BEAUTIFULLY executed. Not all of the questions that arise get answered, but the main one (what she doesn't remember) gets solved by the end of the season, leaving the "why/how and what comes next" to be carried to the next season. It does a cliffhanger RIGHT. But now I desperately want to see the second season (which I believe has been approved, so it's a matter of waiting).

So pretty please, if you're looking for something to do and a great, engaging lil mystery to watch, consider! School Spirits!!

#school spirits #there is so much in this show #Spike and I finished watching it today #her for the first time me for the second #and the second time through it was even better because I was picking up the right threads #the first time through there are SO MANY CLUES #but there are also SO MANY MYSTERIES that you aren't sure which clues belong to which mystery #and then the last half of the last ep hits #and dumps out all the final puzzle pieces to several mysteries #and we spent like an hour digging through thoughts afterword #pulling out themes and clues #and there are some potentially REALLY CLEVER things done #and actually they 100% followed through on the things they set forth and paid off so far #so I feel pretty confident some of the things we pieced together actually belong to the puzzle #and aren't just mistakes #or coincidences #and it's been so long since I got to see actually good writing STAY good writing through #I'm so stoked for this series

if Ford thinks Icarus' problem was that he didn't flap hard enough... I wonder if Bill thinks about the Minotaur

#greek mythology #billford #i am not immune to the friendship possibilities of icarus and the minotaur #bill cipher #ford pines #fic prompt #a too-clever explorer never thinking about consequences of his own actions #a monster with no home trapped in the dark ever searching for freedom #could the monster see the stars from his prison #could the monster find a crack to reach out to the explorer #could the monster pretend to be anything else #could the monster hide its bloody crimes and cruelty #could the monster make a real friend #and finally finally finally escape #could icarus' wax and thread and feathers help pull the minotaur out #or just rip themselves apart in the attempt

can i just say one of the reasons i loveee trt so much is because you do have little filler arcs, and they're incredible. matt and jane getting their asses kicked by geese remains a personal highlight of the sidequests 🪿

Me knowing my beloved little filler chapters and arcs are appreciated like

THANK YOU SO MUCH, I love my little filler bits, I have a running list of them that I pull from, I feel like they're such a good way to both give readers a breather from the heavier, angstier arcs and to show our babies bonding even when the stakes are a bit lower. These lighter moments are what keep them going!

Well, the goose ass kicking less specifically kept them going. They wound up a little roughed up over that one, but WE got to enjoy it, and that's what mattered. 😂

#the red thread #the goose shenanigans were hilariously based on a real life experience #and i could NOT resist pulling from that to make a filler episode #god bless you matt our city boy #he will never underestimate a flock of cobra chickens ever again
