THE WEEKLY DORYM MOMENTS!! (and other stuff i liked...)) IN NO ORDER AT ALL!! liam and robbie not so subtly wearing each other's character's colors.... dorian and orym sharing concern for imogen, also consistently bouncing off of each other's ideas... adding-on.... complimenting... etc. sibling relationship imogen and dorian have developed is so special to me. imogen seeing dorian as a younger brother, dorian seeing imogen as that older sister figure in place of his lost older brother,,, they care so much about each other they are so wlw and mlm core the nat 20 on the dorian dice that liam got. im okay guys. im okay. dorian's jealousy whenever braius interacts with orym is so funny to me "shouldn't you be helping your BOYfriend???" --- "look at him ride!!!" <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 DORIAN MVP THIS FIGHT BTW HOLY SHIT HES SO HOT SOMEBODY STOP HIM the face liam makes for orym when dorian asks him if he wants to be a mounted fighter. the lovingness of all of it. dorian still showing chivalry by boosting orym up onto the saddle even though he knows orym can do it himself. THE CHEEK KISS. (braius crying is so fucking golden)) robbie's eyebrows at liam when they say "semenangings" (or however its spelled/called HELP) just wanna mention all of the faces and glances liam (mostly) and robbie were making at each other and hyping each other up a whole lot the entire time. dorian flanking opposite of orym immediately!!!!! awwh i still cant get enough of dorian's little quirk of humming a tune when hes nervous. suuuuch a good trait, im actually feral over it. dorian humming that tune after orym tells them to make no sudden movements... continues humming it until it summons his dragon!! ME WHEN WHEN WHEN ME WHEN WHEN,, WHEN.. soooo many nat 20s SO MANY NAT 20S THIS EPISODE WHAAAT dorian[robbie] cheering orym on when he leads the charge on his dragon "heads up! its a full moooooo" still patiently waiting for dorian to kiss orym as a way to give him bardic inspiration >:(((

A day in the life with my family(illustrated):

Three of my siblings and my sisters boyfriend trying to get my cat to join them on the trampoline(note her expression)

My mom petting our cat on the couch sayinh "is something wrong with you" with a baby voice(he usually doesn’t like cuddles)

Me and @blueskybehindtheclouds bonding on a piano chair that barely has space for one person on a good day(honorable mention to our cat named chat noir)

And last but not least this with no context im not giving context

I just hit my head on the corner of a window sill (presumably made of some sort of stone because FUCK that hurz)

[cuteniaarts]

Me, six-ish hours ago: Yeah, I had the idea for an Avatar Suiren AU pretty much as long as Suiren herself existed, but idk if I'm ever gonna develop it, it's really hard to upkeep interest for it on my own...

Me, as soon as the concept of Suiren and Vaatu bullying Raava together popped into my head while I was typing out that long ass post: Fuck it, new strain of brain fungus acquired–

(Also yeah traditional art being posted for the first time since... 2020, probably. Don't have the spoons to transfer this to digital rn, maybe I will at some point and I'll do a fuckass Spirit World background or smth. We'll see)

First time drawing Vaatu so don't make fun of me, but honestly he's such a funky little guy and rather fun to draw. You just get that main shape down and then go nuts with the frills :) But also, credit where credit is due, scrolling through the Vaatu tag on @shadelorde’s blog really helped, so thank you for that 😊 And I really had no idea what to do with Suiren’s design here, I think I’ve used up all my character design juices on the nine previous iterations of her that exist, so for now she’s in a random dress with her hair down. I’ll probably alter it if I ever do a proper design for her in this verse

Got offered a job at this suuuuuper complicated venue, and like it's not like my previous place of employment was great, but this one is just... yikes...

It would pay me more, and I could supplement with other sources of income, but it's the kind of work that would make me feel dirty for doing it.

Literally don't know what to do

[theserpentsadvocate]

I am drowning in half-planned fic right now because I made the mistake of rewatching Veronica Mars (and seeing the new season) and then there was very very little of the stuff I wanted to make me feel better, so I am now writing it myself all at once??? (Yes, juggling like six AUs at once is a bad idea, no I did not do it on purpose.) And I know better than to post unfinished stuff, so give me some feedback, guys:

What are people interested in?

(Relevant information: I am here for Weevil, and I am decidedly not here for Logan. Also, these are mostly not the actual titles, I just don’t have one yet.)

Finish the short ones first!

*The long, sad, bittersweet Weevil/Jade reunion, where she runs into trouble post S4 and has no one else to call. (Pros: As a (long) oneshot, will probably be finished in the next millennium! I’ve also not only started it but made some decent progress. Has a likely sequel which is… maaaybe less sad. Kind of. Jade POV, which is, uh, scarce. Cons: Sequel is less well-planned-out and kind of self-indulgent, this is a ship that like two people are on. Also it’s sad.)

*Five Children Veronica Mars Never Had (Pros: Short enough it might get finished before the heat-death of the universe! I’ve also already started it. Takes a bit of a turn from the typical children-as-a-ship-exploration/validation these things often have (most of these children are not biologically Veronica’s). Novel canon is relevant! Some very solid V/W friendship in at least one. Cons: Tremendously, horrifically depressing; I literally just keep killing people to make the premise work. Very little shipping.)

*The Jade/Eli Chronicles (Pros: Related oneshots so, again, will probably be finished in a semi-reasonable time. Fluffy if you block S4 from your memory. Jade gets, like, lines. Cons: Not a ton of substance, only happy if you block S4 from your memory, this is a ship that two people are on.)

*Five (Or Some Number) Worlds Veronica Didn’t Grow Up In (Pros: Fun crossovers/fusions! All the chapters will be more standalone, so I might even post it serially. A BtVS where Veronica isn’t the Slayer (Lilly was). Animorphs!!! Cons: Fusions are automatically disinteresting if you don’t know the other canon. Some of them are not super well-developed yet. Also, how do you make Veronica Mars more upsetting? Cross it with Animorphs!)

I want longfic, because the literal problem is not enough V/W longfic!

*Veronica Mars, Intrepid Reporter

A Lilly lives AU where canon splits whenever Lilly (doesn’t) begin her affair with Aaron. Veronica copes with Duncan’s sudden cold shoulder by becoming an investigative high school journalist.

Pros: This is my first-concieved AU, and maybe the project I’m most proud of? (Pending completion.) Heavy focus on the death of Marisol Reyes. Features a not-irredeemably-awful high school experience for Veronica. Lilly is still flawed as per canon but she’s not evil and she loves her brother and her friends. Eventual (very eventual) Veronica/Weevil. Meg lives. Lots of Keith and Veronica’s relationship. Probably the most optimistic of all my AUs.

Cons: Spans a long time and will probably be gigantic (these things always get bigger once I’m writing them), so will take approximately forever to finish. Planned out to some extent but not started yet. Somewhat critical take on Logan (I almost put that in the ‘pros’ column but I know how the fandom is about him).

*The Lawsuit Story

An AU where Weevil doesn’t settle as soon as in canon (or maybe Lamb just panics quicker), and an attempted attack on him kills Jade instead.

Pros: Hello to the novel canon! This is probably my favourite of all the universes I’m messing around with. The Weevil/Veronica friendship is so strong with this one that I am legitimately conflicted over whether to actually even have them get together. Valentina has an extremely strong presence and I love her. It's pretty charitable to Logan, considering I wrote it. Carmen makes a few appearances. Celeste Kane goes down.

Cons: This was originally just part of ‘Five Children…’ so the long version probably won’t be written until that’s finished. May or may not contain Weevil/Veronica, but if it does, it is a loooong wait. Does contain LoVe.

*High School Revenge Story

Another Lilly lives AU, where Lilly definitely IS having an affair with Aaron. And also Weevil, but not anymore. And also, Veronica’s (post-Troy) boyfriend. Anyway, Veronica finds out about the last point and decides to get revenge/prove she’s not some virginal innocent sidekick by hooking up with Lilly’s sidepiece, who she imagines wants to piss Lilly off as much as she does.

Pros: Not only is it Veronica/Weevil, but Veronica/Weevil is, like, eighty percent of the plot. There’s definitely smut (plot- and character-advancing, even!). There’s an unexpectedly touching strangers-with-benefits relationship even before the extremely unplanned pining. This one felt the most like the show when I was planning it out, especially with the nature and timing of the twists. Lilly is not evil, she’s just a teenager in over her head who doesn’t want to admit it and coping maladaptively.

Cons: I always feel weird touting porn as a selling point when I wrote it, because I have had zero sex in my entire life (although I am thirty, and I feel like life experience and general knowledgeableness about actual human anatomy count for something here). I have not started this one yet, although it’s more or less outlined. Logan also does not come off well (this is because he is a teenager having a Very Bad Time, but his actions are still not excusable). This was originally two different AUs before I realized they should probably be one (I cannot say what the other one was, because it’s a major spoiler), so there’s the possibility of disjointedness where they meet. Also, I’m not entirely sure I have the chops to pull this one off – there’s a lot of dark stuff going on under the surface (well, there’d have to be, for the plot to work, because otherwise it’s just very OOC), and it’s not the kind of thing that’s usually my forte, but I’m going to give it a shot anyway.

*Platonic Co-parents

AU where Veronica stays at Hearst. She and Weevil have a one-night stand in her third year and end up getting a child out of it.

Pros: It’s just a lot of fun! It’ll probably end up W/V but in the meantime they’ve got a solid, supportive friendship going on, to the aggravation of everyone either of them tries to date. (“What do you mean your daughter’s father is sleeping on your couch because the hot water broke in his apartment???”) I have a later scene planned out where they go to the high school reunion separately and deliberately show everyone the same picture of Mariana to see if anyone realizes it’s the same kid, which sums up the vibe pretty well. There is Keith+Weevil awkwardness and then probably some Keith+Weevil friendship later on. Lots of time given to Weevil’s family. Also, Veronica looks into Susan Knight’s suspicious drowning. I have also (technically) started it.

Cons: Listen, I know it’s a reach for Veronica to be willing to have a child at this point in her life, but I’ve done my best to justify it and I think I did okay. Plus, you know, the entire premise is a junk food trope – it’s not evil, but it’s trite. I love it anyway.

No, I want something else/FINISH YOUR OTHER STUFF

*[Earth’s Children] The story where an adult Durc and Brun’s former clan meet the post-Ayla Lion Camp!

Pros: Ambitious dual narrative I think I’m pulling off well (time divergent; one strand moving forward from the first encounter, one from Ayla’s departure), lots of screentime for supporting characters with wasted potential (Vorn, Frebec, Ura, Brac, not to mention Durc), several chapters already written.

Cons: Extremely ambitious so it will take me forever to finish, there’s basically no one in this fandom.

*[Earth’s Children] The Echozar/Joplaya fic

Pros: Actually develops their friendship into something that makes sense, development of Echozar’s childhood and of the Lanzadonii, I’ve got a rough outline and a few pages written.

Cons: Definitely chaptered so it will take some time, there are even less people in this part of the fandom.

*[The Old Guard] Give An Inch Fall A Mile (Joe and Nicky friendship-with-benefits their way into being Joe and Nicky)

Pros: Lots of sex scenes (obviously) on which I have had positive feedback, several chapters written (probably half-finished), I'm very proud of the writing quality on this one, and I absolutely should be writing this first.

Cons: I have been stalled out on it for more than a year, it may not be finished before the new movie comes out and possibly makes it incompatible with canon.

*[Veronica Mars] The Firebird AU… crossover… fusion… thing

Post-S4, Veronica travels through alternate universes and learns that she needs to get her shit together and apologize to Weevil.

Pros: Um, the Firebird Trilogy is cool but is not required knowledge for entry, alternate universes are neat, and even though this idea is probably dumb I can’t stop thinking about it. It would probably even technically comply with canon.

Cons: Half of the universes I have up my sleeve are from the AUs mentioned above, so it probably won’t get written (if it does) until they’re finished in like ten to twenty years. The actual plot is thin; I mostly have a bunch of scenes. There is a decent chance this idea is self-gratifying and pointless, but I also just cannot stop thinking about it.

*[Veronica Mars] Zombie Apocalypse

Post-S4 zombie apocalypse lands Veronica and Keith on a stolen yacht with a bunch of Weevil’s gang, Jade and her new boyfriend, and this one other guy.

Pros: There’s a lot of compelling (I think) personal drama, which is largely not rooted in anyone being an asshole (except Veronica, but that’s canon and I can’t do anything about it except try to fix it with zombies). Weevil finds out his kid is trans and does his best to speed-run the acceptance ladder despite his personal doubts because he’s extremely concerned about being killed by zombies (and thinks he's dying for a minute) and knows this is his only chance to make them feel supported. Eventual W/V, probably.

Cons: I do not know where I’m going with this. Author is not trans herself and might fuck up.

*[Veronica Mars] The Babysitter Effect

Valentina’s babysitter is still in the truck when Weevil stops to help Celeste, and she witnesses everything.

Pros: Teenage awkwardness, but in a fun way. Weevil gets the justice he fucking deserves. Beginning already written.

Cons: I have no plans at all for what happens after the inciting incident, and even if I did I don’t know how long this would be.

Soooo... if you're not in the Silm fandom you've probably never seen my writing before, but I'm happy to back it up with excerpts! Please ask me for excerpts.

If I keep up the volume of writing I've been doing I can probably get something substantial finished by the end of the year but I need input, please weigh in even if we're complete strangers and you found this post two years from now, best-case scenario I can link you to the completed fic. :)

[yellowocaballero]

So how goddamn ecstastic Tim from Wave-verse gonna be when Light did end up being a thing that exists. Also how Steph is gonna end with Cass, does Tim also end with someone? Kon? Bernard? Is he gonna stay a single pringle?

Oh god this is actually a really complicated question.

I don't know how the sidekick timelines of this verse work out. I do not. I haven't really solidified on if there's a 'swap', or if Steph just takes Dick's place and things progress from there as normal. I also don't know to what degree I want to AU things - for example, I want Mia (teen prostitute with HIV who canon kicks to the ground repeatedly and who I want to stan) to be the first Speedy instead of Roy, so a part of me wants to fudge the world to elevate the unloved and abused by canon sidekicks, especially the women. I don't know to what degree I want to do that either. So get back to me!

But I think Kon would be difficult to swing. Superman makes his debut in 1998, when Tim's already 14, and unless I want to rewrite Kon's entire backstory and bump his age older than the rest of Young Justice just for shipping purposes, then the ages really wouldn't match up. And I don't want to fuck with the timelines just for shipping purposes. Kon & Young Justice should be about Damian's age, but that thought gives me psychic damage and I'll always be partial to Damian's Young Justice that exclusively lives in my head (Jon, Irey West II, Sin, Milagro if I can swing it). Jon's kind of an over-used and over-loved character, but I am kind of JonDami and it might be interesting to mix things up and make Jon be Clark's clone. Or use Chris, who is the most forgotten about character known to man, but who I'm still fond of. Something off the wall like that.

The really obvious answer here is to just do Bernard. And I have nothing against Bernard or Timber, it's - it's fine. It's fine. It's very normal. It's ordinary and wholesome and I really can't help but notice that every canon gay couple in comics is the blandest, most banal and inoffensive whitebread shit, Billy Kaplan/Teddy sucks, and every gay couple in canon comics is like that, and the canon gay couple is fine, but in the comics Tim changed his costume to look more like Kon's after he died, kissed his girlfriend out of mutual grief, and holed himself up in his basement to try and clone him. Okay? Okay. That's what Tim's homosexual agenda looks like. It's not normal. When Tim is obsessed with you he is never, ever, ever normal about it.

That is the only way I can physically imagine Tim liking somebody. If he was insane about it. I'm sorry. I can't imagine New Wave!Tim having a normal fucking relationship with a normal fucking guy.

That being said, I'd still like Tim to have a partner. I don't know who, though! Without Kon or Steph I have no clue. Something to think about.

5 a.m, finally about to fall asleep when I spot a big harvester on the ceiling right above my head...

This is the third night in a row that I had a nasty nightly spider surprise—one of the previous ones was a harvester IN my fucking bed.

Thanks, it's not like I already have trouble sleeping 🙃
