Fuck it. Mob Psycho 100 mood. Lets add MHA because I'm still in disbelief/denial(?) of it being over in a week. And I specifically mean add Tokoyami and Hawks for this title:
"Fraud Mentors and their Ridiculously Strong Students"
Maybe a reality warping Quirk, maybe some esper/psychic in the MP100 world who knows, these idiots meet. I got 3 appointments to get to over the nect few days so we'll just spit ball some dynamics, ok? Ok. Going with...pre-Meta War and like Post S1 MP100.
Shigeo "Mob" Kageyama and Fumikage Tokoyami are the most wholesome duo/trio. Mob will look up to Tokoyami (not literally because apparently they're the same height at 5'2"), and once Dark Shadow comes out? 100% Adoration. Mob doesn't really get Tokoyami's way of speaking but they make it work. Tokoyami takes it upon himself to be a role model and Mob is dutifully listening. Until something happens, and Tokoyami has to deal with it the best way he can. Fun! Mob canonically cannot math. I headcanon that Tokoyami cannot math. They can not math together.
Hawks and Reigen. "LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE-" "TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE YOU SONUVA-" So much sass. So much bullshitting. Hawks sees right through Reigen and will throw some occultish buzzword he heard from Tokoyami just to see what bullshit Reigen says in an attempt to act like he knows wtf it is. Reigen will pull an Uno Reverse somehow and figure out Hawks isn't all that he appears. If he finds out about Hawks' Super Spy mission, he's cutting that shit out as soon as he can. Am I saying Reigen can beat the LOV through bullshit, luck, and charisma? Maybe. He'll definitely try. As much as he's a conman he's also a good man. Practically adopting psychic children like Batman. Reigen would have words with Batman. Reigen will have words with the Commission.
Reigen and Tokoyami. Good lord, is this a peek into Mob's emo phase? Did Reigen have an emo phase? He's gonna be feeding Dark Shadow any chance he gets if only to avoid getting eaten himself. Tokoyami MIGHT see through his act, depends on the circumstances. Might be a situation similar to S2 MP100. Reigen doesn't feel happy about a kid running around fighting crooks even in a super society. Kids should be kids. Reigen will pull a Mumen Rider. He may not have powers, he may not be strong, but he's the adult dammit! He'll kick a villain's ass! SELF DEFENSE RUSH!
Hawks and Mob. "Oh so he's like a less edgy more shy Tokoyami." Depending on how this crossover happens the progress to Mob's explosion will be going up steadily the more he hangs out with Hawks. Not because Hawks is actively stressing him out but because its a stressful situation and Hawks is trying his best but this kid doesn't emote and where the hell is his kid??? Soon as Mob mentions having trouble with his powers it is impromptu Quirk Counseling Time at Hawks' Agency. It doesn't really go well because its Hawks. Man probably teaches the same way Reigen does through motivational speeches when he isn't putting floaties just before shoving his poor student in the deep end of the pool.
All four of these chucklefucks together? You got a conman, an industry plant, an edgelord with a sentient shadow monster, and a psychic middle schooler. None of them can math. What could possibly go wrong?
*cue a building or two being destroyed in the inevitable 100% Explosion or even ???%*

Rules: Make a poll of your favorite female characters (no limits - as many or as little as you want) and see which your followers like the most!
my previous attempt got nuked. I'm so sorry women
BUT WE PERSIST. if you already voted please do it again the first one got eaten :(
Stealing from @waveridden because it seemed fun!!
I tried to keep it to a) women that most people following me would know (mostly) (hopefully), b) only women who were my top favorites from their respective canons, c) only one from each canon!
alright let's hit it (TAKE 2)
#I just had to type this all again. Augh#ramblings tag#tag game#the original tags on this are lost to the ether. I'm not saying all that#ahiru and luna you may not be from popular media but you're popular TO ME

The more you read, the more styles and formatting and word usage seep into your brain like a virus. Haunting. Tempting. Singing to you of rhythm and beat and the beauty of poetic repetition, the decadent delight of alliteration. All the sweetness one can taste in a sentence just a word too long.
Or too short.
Sure, you may improve your writing abilities by reading more, absorbing more of your favorite authors...but at what cost.
#writing rambles#i need to stop clicking on 'how to write' links#it makes me angry to see so many attempts to sanitize the joy and art of putting words together#just read#maybe study your favorites and figure out what about them you love and add some of that into your own#carve your voice from the ether and never let that bitch go

Au where Keith gets a few more future flashes in the quantum abyss than he did in canon. Now armed with the knowledge of many future plot points, he sets out to make things right.
Or at least. He tries.
#Rambling into the Ether#he was there for 2 years. plenty of times to see things#even if future glimpses are less common#He knows something is up with Shiro. They need to get him in a pod. Pronto. Before Haggar activates him.#And yet. Things turn out the same. They’re not far enough away from the Castleship.#They lose 3 years. Keith wonders if knowing will change anything at all#Or is the story set in stone.#knowing the future isn’t something he wants to advertise. each thing that goes wrong fills him with guilt. he wanted to prevent this and#would they feel betrayed if they knew?#poor Keith :(((#burdened with knowledge. changes everything yet does nothing#but what if he can alter things? what if he does? he can’t tell until the reality that comes true is different from what he has seen#small things. butterfly effect#vld Keith#voltron#vld

Father!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
#caluuart#genshin impact#genshin#art#arlecchino#god she's just so. cool. pretty. ethereal. badass.#also I LOVE HER STORY QUEST SO MUCH!! I think it's definitely one of the best story quests in the game tbh.#wait uh arlecchino story quest spoilers below:#for one; the quest really gives even more depth to arlecchino's character. like yeah the whole thing is well. messed up.#it's an orphanage that raises orphans to be child soldiers after all. But it's also like. It's more.... humane? nicer? for the fatui anyway#which does bring me to the next thing. you know how arlecchino's like “if you're gonna leave the HotH you need to fight for it with ur life#I genuinely think that she's gonna just. straight up kill them. although it's not unlikely at all it turns out that (most of the time?) she#-just gives them a one trip to memory loss and set them free. which i do know it's kinda like death in genshin's lore but still.#I just find that pretty interesting.#also the cutscene where clervie says goodbye n stuff. It makes me cry EVERY TIME. ARGHHHH TRAGIC CHILDHOOD DOOMED YURI MY BELOVED :(((#clervie makes me so sad man. the fact that she just. accepts death. she really just let peruere kill her huh. crucabena when I fucking get#the hopelessness getting to her at that point. all attempts of freedom failed until that day..... GOD. and clervie finally getting closure-#-in the story quest as a spirit... I just..... man.........#on a lighter note :)#I got obsessed with a bloodborne OST LMAO. the uhh the lugwig boss theme. esp the sec phase one. it's SO GOOD. I first heard abt it in a-#-vid analyzing the ost musically. At the time i was like. woah. cool. what a cool sounding track. fast foward to like. a day before 4.6#I'm watching a genshin theory video and I heard the music in the bg. I recognized it but I couldn't remember where I heard it from#UNTIL I REMEMBERED. and looked it up. And I have not known peace since. good music.#anw I've been rambling too much so yeah. gn my dear fellows!!

It's been a while since I last thought seriously about Dr*gon A*e (even prior to falling in love with BG3) and I think a big part of that is I'm not as big a fan of the setting and the worldbuilding as I used to be. Like to me it really does feel like BW looked at typical fantasy settings and went "hmm okay but what if there was Catholic-enforced racism and abelism". And like. Cool thought experiment bro. Do we really need three games made by primarily white guys about that.
#dragon age critical#marie speaks#idk if ableism is the best comparison for mage oppression but idk you get my larger point#I've heard that DA was supposedly BW's critical response to settings like Forgotten Realms after making the og BG games#and idk if that's true but I'd be willing to believe that bc that's what a lot of it's world building feels like#“oh u thought the elves where gonna be ethereal and respected? nah they're a haphazard blend of irl oppressed groups”#“oh u thought this fantasy world was gonna have a plethora of interesting and dynamic deities and gods? nah it's just fantasy Catholicism”#“oh u thought people who can use magic would have respected places in society? nah they're locked in jail for being Different”#like I feel like these ideas were kinda cool for one game. An expanded thought experiment#but idk if they were strong enough to sustain an entire franchise#without significantly expanding their pool of writers to get the perspectives of people they're attempting to represent at least#but that's a whole different issue#anyway DA has some legit cool concepts like the Grey Wardens that I will always love#and most of their early character work is still really strong#but for me every time that setting rears it's head problems arise#anyway if you're still a DA fan that's totally fine! I'm very happy for you!#don't let my salty ramblings spoil what resonates with you from these games#I'm just reflecting bc it used to be a huge part of my life especially through like all of highschool#and now it's just. not.

Decending into the vipers pit again to say that Jason is NOT utilitarian in utrh. That would imply that he was dispassionate and merely focused on the "greater good", but no, that boy was there for his own personal sense of justice. Utilitarian justification is on his side, but that is not what he is. Jason believes in his own sense of justice, retribution for grievious slights and the special moral exceptionalism within families and love. At times he acts as a utilitarian would, but the truer understanding of his character would be that he has a personal sense of justice and own moral compass.

Okay but like!! It’s about the failure of abstinence-only education. It’s about the adults making teens think that any sexual feelings are unnatural and “evil.” It’s about how none of this actually stops them from having these feelings, it just leads to them having an irrational response when they actually do want to have sex (cough Grace cough). Idk if I’m making sense but you get what I’m saying

So remember the mob psycho 100 mood?
Binging this show. Hoping to finish before Monday because I KNOW I wanna write a crossover because that's all I ever do and the idea of Reigen and Hawks just commanding a room via presence alone is hilarious because one is doing it on purpose the other on accident and they both think they're taking lead but its the stupidest tango to ever tango and AAAAA
#ether rambles#on season 2#Taking a little break from writing to watch this#Because I don't wanna burn out

sooooo for scientific purposes how fit is remus?
i love science 👹 so much 👹👹
i am an average joe remus truther at the end of the day. like when i picture him and how he sees himself and how other people perceive him it’s very much “oh that’s a guy.” like he’s just a guy. crooked bumpy nose. kind eyes. nice smile. teeth just a little crooked just a little wonky.
however.
i think sharpshooter remus is a little more oof than i usually picture him for a few reasons
1. basketball physique. hello. the shoulders (!!!!!!!). the arms. like……,the cardio on this man. he is a string bean and on the 6’4 side of 6’3 but also strong as hell. there’s a bit of a slutty little waist happening beneath all those big hoodies and sweaters and loose jerseys he wears. fucking drool worthy shoulders i cannot emphasize this enough
2. his hair specifically gets my gears going. puts a little gas in the tank if u catch my drift. i love literally all depictions of his hair in every fic (currently daydreaming ab crushofdove’s remus in ‘you wouldn’t like me’ with the shaved sides and little moons) but something ab this remus’ hair makes me feral. like it’s not light brown but it’s not dark brown. the little curlies at the back of his neck???? fucking kill me. not curly enough to be curly but too curly to be wavy. very easily disheveled. i want to braid it and pull it and bite it and cut a little tiny bit of it and put it in a locket around my neck.
3. let’s talk about height again bc oh my god. tall. big n tall. but not big n tall in a gangly, awkward kind of way. there’s no tripping over limbs going on here. thats a 6’3 & 3/4 man w precise control of every tiny little muscle in his body bc he’s played a sport that requires agility and speed and strength his whole life (i’m a puddle of goo, you’re a puddle of goo, sirius is a puddle of goo, we’re all a puddle of goo 🫠)
4. in my head this specific remus also has a very stunning gorgeous bronzy complexion. he very much gets a tan in the summer & all his little freckles go dark brown. in the winter it fades to a very pretty olive tone that sirius likes to say matches his own pasty winter complexion even though it very much does not, but remus lets him believe it anyway bc he’s too nice for his own good
5. this isn’t an actual physical trait but it’s arguably what makes him hottest: his voice. i have it very specifically nailed down in my head. it’s a little quiet, a little on the breathy side, it’s not ever shrill or sharp. it goes higher when he laughs and lower when he’s saying something particularly dirty near sirius’ ear (but we haven’t got there yet, dw ab that one rn). it’s very warm. very sweet. very sultry. very hot.
i could go on and on and on and on but let’s settle and say that sharpshooter remus is a HARD 8 from afar and a solid 15 when he’s got u against a door.
#u ask tortoise answers#anon#love this question#any excuse to gush over remus#our collective boyfriend#can u tell i have a thing for shoulders#did i make it too obvious#let’s not let this distract us from acknowledging that sirius is an ethereal being#hey sharpshooter rambles

Au where Lance grew up in gravity Falls before voltron. Imagine Allura trying to figure out whether the weird thing Lance says and does is a weird human thing or weird Lance thing
Anon, anon, anon, I love where your brain is at right now.
Humans, to Allura and Coran at least, are weird in their own right. With how similar they look to alteans, they always get thrown by the occasional thing that to them, is just so alien (all those languages they apparently speak even through they’re from a secluded planet, the way cold food freezes their brains—though they enjoyed the food from the planet Icesocles saying it was similar to ‘ice cream’ and wished they could stay longer to build ‘snow men?’, their lack of strength, talk of rain that’s just… water with zero protective shields required to deal with except maybe ‘an umbrella’ which sounds incredibly low tech, and bizarrely only have one heart which is a terrible survival technique). But Lance has a particular brand of weird that just stands out and Allura quickly learns he cannot be used as a basis for understanding what all human first world problems are like.
Hunk tells Allura that it’s just where Lance grew up. Like his hometown, Lance is a bit of a weirdness magnet (which tracks. One minute he’s trying to sneak off and go partying, the next he’s in a cave with a rag tag team and the inscriptions are glowing). Lance has always had these strange stories to tell at the garrison, ones where he was just talking about his family, and the strangeness of his home town was not the focus, but very much prevalent in the story. Some people thought he was just trying to get attention, or seem interesting, but Hunk knew that didn’t seem right. And then Hunk got invited by Lance one year to Gravity Falls and realised that that town really is just like that ™ and you really couldn’t make this kind of stuff up. Turns out it’s not just to attract tourists???? Hunk wonders why more people aren’t freaking out about this (the answer is all proof is seen as fake).
-The Gravity Falls Lance is from is about 50-ish years ahead of the one we’re familiar with. But it’s largely the same. Gravity Falls will always be Gravity Falls.
-When Hunk visited, there was a sudden influx of gnomes in the area. They wanted to steal his all his baking, which Hunk was cool with (once he realised where it was going and not just. Vanishing into thin air), but they had to at least leave some for them. The gnomes miss his baking and really want to make Hunk their queen.
-In this au, Lance doesn’t initially see Pidge as insane for believing in aliens. He accidentally stumbled into the spaceship in the hill when he was a kid whilst trying to look for a missing cat. If he had a nickel for every time he stumbled onto a spaceship… Allura’s the first living alien he’s seen though! And a lot prettier than a pile of bones.
-Lance’s family’s habit of adopting stray cats extends to the bizarre animals of the town too. Lance couldn’t even tell you what species his first pet was. But they definitely are not a cat. He still loves his not-cat Ninja, though <3
-He’s super friendly with a lot of the supernatural. A shame it’s not all super friendly back.
-Lance’s fear of the castle ship being haunted is very legitimate and reasonable. Ghosts are very real!!! (And… maybe there are ghosts here. Not just Alfor’s ‘ghost.’)
-Lance first crush was on a mermaid. Well. Siren.
-“Holy crow! You have mermaids in space too!”
-He’s honestly surprised at how humanoid many of these aliens are. He’s seen stranger.
-Seen many a headcanon about Keith getting caught up in the search for Mothman whilst looking for Shiro (spiralling into the world of conspiracy). Lance will neither confirm nor deny seeing Mothman. Keith just wants an answer :((
-Lance grew up watching bootleg shows on Gravity Falls TV. His references are incredibly niche.
-When Shiro temporarily dies, he has an encounter with the axolotl.
-Haggar/Honerva keeps all those spare Shiros because she, too, is working on making her very own space boy band. As a side gig. Project Kuron takes priority though.
-The longer Pidge spends around Lance, more more interested she gets in hearing about Gravity Falls (she’d heard rumours, sure, but hearing first hand accounts from a local. It has her attention immediately). Pidge just wants to understand the hows and whys and all the science, it drives her nuts, and Lance is just happy to talk about home :)
-Just when Lance thinks he’s free of zombies, now they have space zombies Zarkon and Honerva to deal with.
-Time travel technology is thankfully developed long after people like Haggar and Zarkon are gone. Otherwise… yikes.
-But perhaps the team do end up on a journey to the past and meet the paladins of old??? (Time travel existing is too good to pass up). But trying to change the past leads to time police showing up. What happens to Altea is a canon event :((
-In reference to this comic (that I’m for some reason now thinking about) Lance can now show the alteans the dinosaurs when they come visit Earth.
-Lance finally understands what those soothsquito bites that said ‘Leware Botor’ were all about. A little too late though.
-Sendak doesn’t even know what to think when he tries to invade Gravity Falls. Everywhere else but the garrison was easy. And then there’s this place. What do you mean they have a gnome Voltron?? Your average galra will try and stay clear. It’s lawless, eerie. Troops go missing here. Sendak has had enough of it.
#vld#vld lance#vld allura#hunk garrett#voltron legendary defender#askbox of the ether#rambling into the ether#voltron x gravity falls au#thank you for the ask anon!! these ideas were fun to explore. always great to combine two current interests into one#recently watched an abridged gravity falls. gnome voltron comes from that. too good not to include here#upon visiting Earth Allura finds herself glad she was put in cryosleep. and not in anything sticky#Allura will often look to the paladins and they will say. yeah. it’s a weird Lance thing

this obesssion people have with canon drives me insane
u have something made by 1000's of people over decades but yr supposed to pretend theres Only One Truth and its actually a Totally Coherent Singular Thing rather than a mess of contradictory bullshit
#this isnt about star wars specifically but i am thinking about it right now#it was so wierd when disney announced they were 'changing canon' and everyone acted like all those books just disappeared into the ether#and then i saw a vid that was like WOW DID DAVE FILONI JUST DECANONISE THE SEQUELS?#???#like u can just ignore them??#or the ones that are like “heres why this lucas interview from 20 years ago PROVES the sequels cant be canon!”#why are u prioritising one groups authority over the other#even lucas was happy to ignore 'canon' if it fucked with the stories he wanted to tell#its all fake#none of it is real#hypatia rambles
