pecco rant please please

*spins wheel on possible topics* absurdly underrated but in a dumb way. you'd think you can stumble your way into two premier class titles. I don't care he's on the best bike - let's be honest, how often this century have the title winners not been on the best bike? 2004 and to a lesser extent 2005 you can say clearly weaker bike, 2007 late 2010s 2021 there's a clear enough disparity with anyone else riding the bike that you can say clearly the rider is making the difference/it's an unrideable wreck one guy is making respectable, then there's a few seasons where it's at least very close whose machinery is best or they're fighting with people on equal equipment, which pecco has done! but generally speaking, good/promising riders end up on good bikes and then they win. that's how the game works!

the thing about 2022 is that it had such a massive mid-season swing that overhauling a ninety something point margin cannot come down to any single factor. is it fair to say fabio lost that title? on balance, it's a bit harsh - yes, there were a few too many errors post-sachsenring, yes, some were driven by desperation, but also you can't really expect anyone to ride a flawless season. but pecco did win that title as much as yamaha lost it. I don't care if you're riding a literal rocketship with two wheels, you can't win four races in a row if you're not extremely good at what you do! if we're saying that title was worth less because the yamaha turned to shit in the second half of the season, then let's keep going. let's put an asterisk next to 2013 because jorge and dani both got injured (let's not even get into the 'if marc hadn't been injured' asterisks because that's where you get into truly silly territory). is 2006 not a legit title because of all the bad luck valentino faced that year? let's say all titles between 2007 to 2015 were worth less because at any one time only 4-6 bikes had a realistic chance of winning races. throw out any title before 2009 because they were constantly fucking about with the tyres and there wasn't a level playing field. if you're motivated enough, you can play this game with basically anything, but it's dumb and pointless because that's not how sports works! you can only win against whoever you're facing. it has always been thus and it will always be thus

it's narratively fun and juicy that pecco has these insecurities himself - but within the context of everyone else doing discourse over it, the whole thing is massively overblown! linked to some of the worst sports discourse about how much people love to disparage late bloomers, because they need every single successful athlete to fit the same mould of the ultra-talented wunderkind, apparently. it's more interesting when it's not always the most 'talented' (whatever tf that means), naturally gifted, *fast the second he touches a bike* bloke who wins. sometimes they have to work hard for it, sometimes they have to improve themselves year on year and be smart about how they do it, sometimes they have to be in the right place and right time, sometimes they have to be very lucky. sports is all about competition, and competition is all about contrast. it's a contrast that can be generated in a whole lot of ways, and in fairness to motogp they have come up with a bunch of interesting narratively tense contests that don't rely on a massive fundamental 'talent' differential - but at the end of the day, that's one of the best ones you can have! the more ways you can have to win in any given sport, the better, both in the literal sense of how you go about the actual process of winning and how you even become a winner. none of this means that pecco isn't very very good, it means he got there in a different way than every other multiple champ this century has. it fundamentally flattens the sport if you want every top-level competitor to be an alien-level talent... one of the best things about this current era is that it has given us something new and exciting in that regard, where you well and truly believe some very different blokes might have what it takes to eventually be champion

anyway, pecco is absurdly adept at digging himself into holes and absurdly adept at digging himself out of them. he's one of the worst frontrunners imaginable in every sense, biologically incapable of dominating without at least a perpetual hint of jeopardy, both in the context of a race and a season. but when his back is against the wall, somehow he keeps finding performances you never imagined he was capable of. his mixed up and slightly odd skillset, his strengths and weaknesses, how he's better and worse than he has any right to be... all of it lends itself to perpetual momentum shifts and thrilling seasons - because you never quite know what you're going to get. love him or hate him, he's a gift to the overall competitive landscape! god knows the racing hasn't been much to write home about these last few years (though, yes, we did have a good little run this season), but somehow he's managed to get himself involved in two out of the six title deciders this century back-to-back. is that not the dream for the viewer, to have a bloke at the top of the sport with a little self-combust chip in his head every time he builds too much of an advantage? build a hundred of those guys! throw a marc marquez at him and see what he does! I can't wait to see what he'll come up with next

a comparison of on and off axis slowly transformed into "what if 2 models survived?"

imagine being ambushed by one after the chase scene or a tagteam like scenario akin to the feisty 4. It'd be a taaaaaad goofy, just a smidge silly, perhaps, even a pinch peculiar.

anyhoo right is 014 and left (my doodle design) is some other model of axis in this silly ig!

(and before any ideas start, not a ship for the love of fuck no. go away.)

aaaaand geno versions/spoilers below!

both of these dimwits would get many more bots evacuated, though the sightings would probably let clover get more attacks off on them before the final conflict, maybe picking one off before the other to be a little extra mean :D

love the broken sprite for the poor guy but looking at it a bit harder why isn't there a giant hole/dent/??? in his head from the 1 eye shot clover got on him?

I know that you can skip the 6 shooter, but it is weird in canon that clover doesn't fire off all 6 into axis during the first encounter and only 3.

a/n: oh, how good it feels to be writing again. welcome to my corner; i hope you enjoy your stay. 

content: the poor brothers need your presence. you/your pov. gn!reader x lucifer, mammon. (separate). 1.5k words.

warnings: the kitchen almost catches fire. the boys cry just a lil. mammon has some doubts about himself. (also, proofreading does NOT go brr, we die like men.)

there were so many things that could weigh down a poor demon’s mind; brothers who lacked self-restraint, and others who had too much of it. there was paperwork to be finished, and projects to be refined. games were made to be finished 100 percent, and books were written so they could be read front to back. money was for spending, and food was to be devoured. lipstick was made to leave marks on mirrors, and of course, pillows were fluffed up so they could be flattened at night (and during the day, in some cases). so many problems in this world for few people, and yet, for all said problems, there was only one cure. you. 

═  ˎˊ˗

lucifer.

the silence that came from the kitchen was unsettling. lucifer had already warned you not to disturb his cooking duties, but his anger be damned. you were worried enough that he looked like he had been awake for 4 days straight, and a mess in the kitchen from a sleep deprived demon was not what you wanted to see. not to mention, beel’s stomach growled louder with every passing second. if you were going to deal with an angry demon, you’d rather risk lucifer’s stone cold gaze than beel's hunger pangs.

“lucifer,” you called as you pushed the door open. “beel’s getting… restless.” your words trailed off as your mind attempted to unpack the scene in front of you. there was no mess, which was a relief. however, there was a fire in the pot on the stovetop. the eldest of seven only stared at it in silence. “lucifer!” rushing over, you snatched the lid of the pot before moving it off the heat and attempting to suffocate the flame inside. eyebrows furrowed, you turn to lucifer, slowly waving a hand in front of his face. his red eyes were glassy, holding no light in them. “lucifer,” you repeated for the third time. concern took root in your stomach when he still made no effort to move. after a few moments, you left his side, calling satan to finish cooking duties while you manoeuvred the avatar of pride up to his room. the thought of lucifer being mad that you dragged him around bounced in your head briefly before landing in a soft cushion you liked to call denial. 

shaking off the idea, you sat lucifer down on the edge of his bed, bending down on one knee to take a clear look at his face. softly, as though you were cradling a swan made of glass, you placed his head in your hands, thumbs brushing over his cheeks. “luci? come back now, it’s just us.” you had done this before; the last time you witnessed it happen was after lucifer had come home after an argument with diavolo about RAD. a stack of papers on lucifer’s desk stole your attention. with pursed lips, you moved one hand away from his face and slid it onto his waist. “what’s diavolo got you up to now, hm?” your thumb pressed gently into his side, and slowly, you began to see his eyes focusing onto yours. 

when he finally came to, his sigh of relief and the way he pressed his cheek into your palm did not go unnoticed. “MC. i apologise, i haven’t been in my right mind these days.” as quickly as lucifer had searched for your warmth, he pulled away from you, one hand brushing yours away from his side. 

“you’re telling me,” you chuckled, leaning back onto your heels. “you know you almost set the kitchen on fire?” 

the avatar of pride was not feeling very prideful at the moment. “it was strange.” lucifer decided to have a staring contest with the floor. “i knew i had to do something, and yet, i couldn’t bring myself to move.” 

your breath hitched in your throat when you saw the first tear slip away from the corner of his eye. 

“it’s even more strange,” lucifer whispered, voice threatening to break at any moment, “that i would allow myself to feel so vulnerable around my attendant.” his knuckles turned white from how hard he clenched his fists. lucifer threw his head back, a pained laugh echoing through the room, painting the walls with desperation. you could only wait for his next words with your heart in your throat. when he brought his gaze down to meet yours, a perfect, fake smile overtook his expression. “MC,” he said softly. you waited in silence. 

“MC,” he cried, throat tearing at the seams. 

acting quick, you moved to envelop him in your arms, one hand pressing into his back and the other running through his hair. you pushed against him, forcing him to lay down. when you both hit the bed, lucifer immediately sought solace in the crook of your neck, his hands grasping at the back of your shirt as sobs wreaked havoc on his body. you responded by pressing your cheek onto the top of his head. “i’m here, lucifer. i’m not going anywhere.” 

═  ˎˊ˗

mammon. 

“yo, MC!” 

“mammon?” light flooded into your room against your will, forcing you to squint and continuously tap your night stand in search of your d.d.d. 1:37am. “gods, it’s almost two in the morning, mammon.” you huffed in annoyance, throwing your d.d.d. onto your pillow before falling back onto the bed and drowning yourself in blankets. “at least close the door if you’re gonna stay here,” you groaned. 

“okay, first off.” mammon huffed right back at you as he closed the door, “we are in the devildom, there are no gods. second-” 

at the second eldest’s remark, you grabbed your free pillow and threw it at his face. “fine, fine. DEVILS, it’s almost two in the morning.” mammon let out an unrefined squawk when the pillow made contact with him. you could barely stifle your laughter underneath your comforter. 

“MC, you aren’t funny.” mammon yanked the covers off your face, and it was only then that you saw the annoyance and misery etched into his expression. you decided not to ask about it directly, instead choosing to wonder what mammon wanted to say second. 

raising your hands in defeat, you gave mammon a sympathetic look. “i think i’m pretty funny, but whatever you say.” the avatar of greed sent you an unimpressed glare before moving to quite literally sit on you. “oof- mammon! you’re heavy, get off me!” mammon’s shoulders bounced with laughter briefly before he slid off your stomach and into the spot next to you. “ugh. anyways, what were you gonna talk about earlier?” 

“oh, yeah, get this.” mammon cleared his throat as though he was about to tell you the greatest story ever. that’s what you wanted, at least. it’s not what you got. 

“so i was over at the fall, right?” humming your acknowledgment, you turned onto your side so the two of you were face to face.

“there was this crew of demons, they were all wearing matching jackets and everything. it honestly looked kinda strange, but everyone else there was totally raving about them. i have to admit, their leather jackets looked like they were high quality too. definitely not the ones you could find in those small clothes shops.”

“are you going to spend the whole night fan-boying over them?” you murmured, a hand reaching up idly to play with the hair that draped over mammon’s forehead. 

he scoffs in indignance at your reaction. “oi, shut it. and stop playing with my hair, you’re distracting me.” you hummed again before dropping your head and allowing mammon to continue. 

“so, basically, long story short, i think they were some sort of gang. asmo warned me about those when at the fall, didn’t think i’d ever see them myself. but then, they came up to me. and can you believe what they started saying? they were acting all high and mighty, sayin’ stuff like, ‘oh, it’s just the second born. the scummy one.’ i don’t even know where it was coming from!” 

slowly, you moved your hand closer to his own, tapping your fingertips on his. as if it was second nature, mammon grabbed it immediately, fingers intertwining and fiddling as he continued to speak. “i mean, can you imagine? saying all that about THE great mammon? it’s not like they know me, right? they don’t know what it’s like being second after lucifer. they don’t know what it’s like to actually fall, right?” mammon stopped playing with your hand, opting instead to look you in the eye. “right…?” he practically whimpered the question under his breath, gold eyes turning to sapphire as the tears began to well up. “please, MC,” he begged, his breaths becoming more ragged. “they don’t know, right?”

you felt your heart sink at the question. with a nod, you opened your arms to him and pulled his trembling frame into your embrace.  “they’re just jealous, mammon. they don’t know you at all, and everything they say is wrong.” 

mammon’s arms tightened around your back, his breathing shallow and his tears never-ending. 

“don’t you worry about them,” you whispered into his ear, your hands slowly working their own kind of magic along his back. “everyone that should know what you’ve done for them already knows.” mammon released a sob into your shoulder before trying to press further into your touch. you didn’t stop him. “after all, you are the great mammon, right? you may be the second brother, but you’ll always be my first man.” a shaky laugh replaced his cries briefly, and you couldn’t help but nuzzle your face into his hair in return. “that’s my mammon,” you purred softly, holding him close until he fell asleep. 

and that's it for first post. hope you enjoyed it if you're here at the end ♡

Into, Across and Beyond! Scripting: A Tough Decision

(Funkinverse by @robovoidfrog)

During an early point of the Funkinverse crossover, the two Funkin' Gangs came together at one dimension, neither having had any luck in finding Salty.

Benjamin: Did anyone manage to find Salty?

Brooke: *sigh* No such luck. It's as if he's somewhere that's not in the Funkinverse.

Bently: We'll have to keep trying, though. He could be anywhere, and we don't know how soon The X is going to show up in Salty's world.

Bunfriend and BluBuni looked at each other a little.

Gracie: From the records, Cam claimed he'd be set to show up within the next week, and none of us have found Salty anywhere to help him out.

Neo Girlfriend: Honestly, I think we need a break before we continue the search. Since we've no Funkin' Society watches, they can't currently track us down.

Benjamin: Honestly, good call.

A few minutes later, the two Gangs got themselves settled for some rest before the search continued.

Toon Boyfriend: So you're saying you're, like, my great grandson?

Benjamin: I, um, think so. I got memories of my grandfather looking like you being trapped in Hell with a Mickey Mouse.

Toon Boyfriend: Yeah... It was such an awful experience for me. I did get out, but Satan kept looming over my life, to the point that I had to distance myself from my family. I thought I'd never have happiness again until I met these guys. Oh! And got this thing!

He showed the Rubik's Cube he had.

Benjamin: Ah, a Rubik's Cube!

Toon Boyfriend: Mhm! I could project the memories I shared with them into the cube and block out Satan with it. It ultimately let me come back to my family with a fresh mind.

Brooke: I'd say Salty made each of our lives better in some capacity.

Golden BF: Absolutely. I honestly owe him big time for getting some weight off my shoulders back in my dimension.

Close by, BluBuni was with Bunfriend and Aloe, while Evan was occupied with Brooke Junior.

Bunfriend: You're definitely like me! Heh, in more ways than one.

BluBuni: Hehe! I suppose I am.

Aloe: Had things been stressful for you, Bun, after you got back home?

Bunfriend: Well, it was barely different to the usual stuff, honestly, though my own failure to save someone still nags in my mind.

BluBuni: D-Did something happen? I-I'm sorry if that was too personal-

Bunfriend: Nah, it's okay, girl me. I figured it'd need to come out one way or the other. In my home, I not only lost Porker Lewis of the Freedom Fighters, but I also had that horrid Metal Virus to contend with. Brr... Still gives me the shivers today. Why'd you ask, by the way, Aloe?

Aloe: Things got pretty dicey for me once I got back home. Lots of other guys I had to deal with, a self-contained Corruption entity... I could barely think straight once it was all over, even with Nene trying to comfort me.

Ben sat down with them.

Benjamin: God... I'm sorry to hear you haven't been so well off, Aloe.

Aloe: It's fine. At least I could get my head back in gear after I ditched the Funkin' Society. After seeing so many people numbed to the pain of losing close ones and being forbidden from doing anything about it... it just sours any hope of happiness at the far end.

Benjamin: That's just awful... Makes me glad I turned down the offer when I did.

BluBuni: Me too.

Aloe: Speaking of, wasn't it Kenji that tried to recruit you, Blu?

BluBuni: He was? If he did, he definitely got distracted with anime tropes and all that.

Benjamin: In turn giving my side the chance to knock him out, but if Cam's got a target on my back for it, it's likely he might continue to hinder us.

Bunfriend: If the melodramatic guy does show up again, we'll be ready!

Aloe: Mhm.

Outside, Gracie was just looking longingly at her picture of her and Salty, as Boom came by to check on her.

Boom: Hey, er, Gracie?

Gracie: Yeah?

Boom: I'm sorry if my interaction with Salty before made you uncomfortable.

Gracie: Nah, it's fine. I was just in a bit of a rush before and didn't want Salty slowing down. But considering what happened afterwards... I honestly would've preferred it if he stuck with you and didn't have to witness the worst of the Society.

Boom: I mean, if he didn't, we wouldn't be out here as our own team trying to stop The X from destroying everything.

Gracie: Yeah, I guess you're right. I really just hope he'll forgive me...

Near the camp, Salty managed to emerge from a portal, his priority set out.

Salty: Right. I gotta steal a watch from one of those other -friends and use it to hurry back home. I just hope I'm not too late. Now, where do I go first...?

Grace was on lookout duty while the rest of the Gang had their discussions, quickly catching sight of Salty.

Grace: Wait... Is that him?

Pico: What do you mean?

Grace: White hair, the visor...

Pico: Oh, snap! Hey, guys!

Benjamin: You guys saw Salty?

Salty, realising he had been spotted, was about to take off, before he heard Gracie's voice.

Gracie: Salty!

Salty: G-Gracie?

He turned back, seeing her before him.

Gracie: We came to help you, Salty.

Salty: Gracie, I... How do I know you're not still on his side?

Gracie: I ditched them, very shortly after you escaped. I rallied our old team together again to give you a hand in stopping The X.

Salty: I can't, I...

Bunfriend came closer.

Bunfriend: They told me and Toon what went on, and I'm just as disgusted with them as you are.

D-XML: Precisely! Why else do you think I was sabotaging their stuff before? To lead a rebellion against them in the name of doing the right thing!

Benjamin also approached with the other Funkin' Gang members behind him.

Benjamin: Cam tried to enlist me and several of these guys in, but I resisted him and rallied them together to give you a hand.

Soft Pico: Likewise, me and Neo GF here want to get our Boyfriends back out of there, too.

Barbara: Honestly, Salty? The fact you managed to outrun hundreds of -friends with little to no help and expert planning was a great act you could pull.

Benjamin: And if that's not proof enough that you've got what it takes to stop The X, I'm not sure what is.

Salty looked down.

Salty: I... I don't know if I can trust any of you after what I've been through. I know you've got good intentions, but I... I don't know if I'm ready for my trust in multiversal counterparts to be broken again like it was in the Society HQ. All I need right now is a watch to get back home in time.

D-XML: I can make a new one for you. It's what I pilfered all that tech for.

Pico: Dude, you can trust us... can't you?

Salty: I...

Salty took a step back, looking at his microphone, before swiping the cord at Benjamin and taking his watch away.

Benjamin: Hey!

Salty: It's something I have to do alone... I can't keep depending on you all forever. I'm sorry if what I just did causes you to glitch.

Benjamin: ...Nah, don't worry. I'm kinda immune to it.

Gracie: At the very least, Salty... That talk of "canon events" and how averting them will destroy a universe? It's not true. I found that out when I reconnected with the police chief and found out he quitted. It motivated me to further rebel against the Society for it. ... I just want you to know that... I'm sorry for before, Salty, I really am.

Salty: I know I'm gonna wing this one solo, but... I forgive you guys.

Gracie gasped a little, not expecting him to forgive her for what she did.

Salty: But I can't risk the Society being on my tracks again, I'm sorry.

He entered the coordinates for Earth-409 as a portal opened.

Salty: In the meantime, try and keep them off my tracks-

Benjamin: Wait!

Salty: Huh?

Benjamin: Gracie mentioned that they're waiting for you back at Earth-409, and they might be planning to force you to go through the death of Tsu.

Salty: Well, whether or not they are, I won't let them pull that stunt on me.

He leapt through the portal, intent on stopping The X and neutralising any -friend outside of those he just saw if they get in his way doing so.

BluBuni: What do we do now?

Brooke: Once we've had our rest, we'll split back up into our separate groups. Ben, you keep seeing if there's any -friends who need help in their worlds, and keep the Funkin' Society at bay as necessary.

Benjamin: Got it!

Brooke: And in the meantime, we'll follow Salty's trail and try to disrupt The X. Though it's likely that we'll need all the help we can get against him.

Gracie: Ben? What did you mean before by "immune to glitching"? I thought none of us were when out of our own dimensions.

Benjamin: I guess it's because I've done a lot of universal travelling in my time.

Grace helped Ben up.

Grace: We've no time to lose, then. We don't know when The X is going to reach Salty's world, and we'll need to gather more help to get rid of him.

Benjamin: Alright. (to Gracie's team) Good luck out there, guys.

Gracie: Thanks, Ben. Once we've had our rest, we'll rendezvous back with you guys as soon as new developments come up.

The two teams got their sleep before they made their split in a bid to help Salty, defy the Funkin' Society and stop The X once and for all.

[thescribblings]

Welcome to my blog! Where i mainly post about my future leo; Orion! (Even though that's a nickname, lol)

I also have a future donnie design, who has been named (with the very generous help of @sinestrosmind) Akari! Or Aki for short :]

(I have a patreon if you're interested)

So, due to some unfortunate events, i am currently unemployed and struggling financially. I can't pay rent and due to mental illness, including cptsd, i am not currently able to get a job. As of right now, i am lucky enough to get to stay with a friend of a friend for free until i can start paying rent, the savings i have are just enough to keep me fed for a few months, tops. I hate to bring this to my own safe space, but the reality of the situation is that i need help. If you can and are interested, then please join my patreon. Anything would be infinitely appreciated, and that includes just sharing or liking this post. Have an amazing day, you beautiful creatures<3

As a patron, you get to see what I'm working on! I post wips, abandoned projects, and occasional writing, you also get to suggest my next piece or a prompt (although i can't promise that it'll catch my eye!), if I'm not sure what to draw next i might make a post and let you help me decide, you can make requests but I'm very driven by what personally interests me when i draw, basically I'm not able to draw something that i don't enjoy drawing. I also might just be burnt out, as i get burnout periods rather often

In the future i hope I'll post short comics that i myself draw, and gifs, animatics, anything really :] i just want to create, but i only started seriously learning to draw about a year ago, so it'll take a while before i do the things i need actual patience for lmao <3

I also occasionally post some Semi-Feral Polaroids content! It's a lovely shared AU @so-called-yokai and i put together where Orion and their gorgeous oc Eshra are romantically involved :]

I'm rather socially awkward due to ADHD, Autism, and social anxiety, so i can't promise that I'll respond to comments

Just know that i appreciate it a whole lot when you take time out of your day to tell me something!

I'm new to Tumblr ( I have only had it since the summer of 2023 ish). So bear with me as i learn how to use it!

I will post here very rarely (i can disappear for like 6 months at a time, that is a promise) but the rise fandom has motivated me to get better and draw again (hyperfixations go brr)

(i basically only draw Orion and Eshra but y'know-) oh, and i don't fuck with t-cest, that's nasty. I'm also not very invested in ships other than Semi-Feral Polaroids, so don't expect that from me

I made my own au a while back! I'm still fleshing it out and all, but i named it "slightly feral future leo (with ghosts)" or "sffl(wg)" for short. It's a very self indulgent "peepaw ended up in the past for no specific reason" au and it doesn't really have much plot yet, but i just like drawing cute turtle scenarios (a lot of the Leo's snoozing since they deserve a nap) or sometimes I'll draw some angst, (I'm very into angst, but I'm bad at drawing it lol)

Keep in mind that I've been very inspired by other creators and their au's when i created this one, most of it is cherry picked from others creations but i still like it. Even if some very well thought out and emotional concepts have been plucked and haphazardly shoved into my mess of an au, i just want to avoid as much confusion as possible by writing this long ass post ngl

I've decided to let people ask me things now. However, if you have any art requests whatsoever, just know that i only draw when I'm inspired and really, REALLY feel like it! I do still appreciate asks about my au if you're interested, though! (Art requests that i don't draw or can't draw might be saved for later and drawn in the future, btw. though it's not guaranteed)

If you couldn't already tell, i write a lot! I love describing things and telling some stories with drawings, so be prepared for some wordy and long ass posts, lol!

I also have a uh, rather neglected side blog (@a-variety-of-scribbles), it consists of literally anything except my scribblings

Now, have an amazing day you wonderful creature! (whatever you may be)

❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 🩵 💜 🤎

What are your headcanons vis a vis Peridot's masculine presentation. Is it just a simple "masc Peridot go brr" (which is completely valid and chill), or is it like, Peridot came to Earth and he vibed with the masculine traits of humans.

it's definitely a "masc peridot go brr" situation, don't get me wrong. but if we're gonna make it make sense, here's what i got.

on homeworld there's no concept of gender. you only got your gem type and the corresponding job it has. peridot has no problem with this, he fills his purpose just fine, albeit with modifications. on earth, however, things are glaringly different. the first human peridot meets is steven (a boy). he learns about earth and humanity from steven, he steals and wears steven's clothes when he's not looking. he watches old tapes of shows and finds himself relating to and projecting onto a male character, and can't relate to any of the female characters. he finds this odd, as he shares the same pronouns with the female characters, but hearing the pronouns of the relatable male character gives him a strange giddy feeling. he decides to make a self-insert fan oc with the new set of pronouns, and dresses the oc in a similar style as the canon character he relates to. he starts cosplaying as his oc, and tells everyone to refer to him as the oc's name and pronouns while cosplaying. this feels GOOD. soon peridot finds he doesn't want to drop the "act" and takes this up with anyone who would listen. eventually someone figures out what's going on and directs peridot to some resources so he can delve more into this identity thing. peridot reads up on everything there is to find about gender identity and soon reports back that he'd like to transition, at least socially. who knows if T works on a gem? peridot is skeptical that any physical changes can be made through human means, and so tries his hand at discovering Gemstosterone himself!

I actually rly enjoy writing stuff on paper, but never rly had much reason to, and especially with like. making checklists would just stress me out (daily ones are the fucking WORST) but I Figured It Out for myself

✅️REVERSE CHECKLIST

writing shit down you've done AFTER you've done it and then crossing it out and putting a big fat ✅️ beside it because then you get a list of stuff you HAVE done instead of one that just makes you feel useless because you didn’t do Everything you set yourself to do (or only one or two out of several)

it's literally much nicer and I find it way more fun

I do also make a general checklist for like reminders so I don't entirely forget, but I don't do it for any Daily Tasks or hard deadlines (if possible, sometimes u got Important Stuff that sucks), but it takes away a big chunk of stress for me when it's not lists for Daily Tasks.

also colored pens makes a difference, brain go brr with Green Checkmark✅️ and also makes the list more visually interesting

So yeah ✅️Reverse Checklist is so cool and sexy for anything I think, from very Small Mundane Things (got up before x time, opened window, picked up piece of tissue beside the bin thats been there for like a week because you missed the bin throwing it from your bed, drank water etc.) to chores to self-care (shower/bath, get fresh air/ho walk, make/buy nice meal, fresh clothes etc.) to bigger tasks or projects AND can double as a "What did I do today/this week/this month"

adding however much or little u desire that does not make it another source of Too Much Stress from trying to keep it consistent bc that's not the point and mood can change with time how much you can be bothered to write if any, it should be a fun tool of assistance that provides an encouraging push for making a list filled with stuff you've gotten done <3

FT x TW: Each NRC boy favorite Fairy Tail mage

This is like, half “favorite” and half “who would gravitate towards each other and end up becoming friends”

(Also limiting this to the FT guild so I don't have to think about Everyone)

Either way, interactions go brr—

Riddle: After witnessing Erza beat some manners into some people, he would probably respect her a great deal. That said, after Erza inevitably is also chaotic (they are the same but Riddle doesn't have that self-awareness yet), I think Riddle and Charle would get along really well. Tea-buddies and why-am-I-surrounded-by-thugs? buddies, and what-not.

Trey: I think Trey and Mirajane would be buds. It's the mutual eldest sibling energy, and also the steadfast dedication towards being supporting (when they are actually crazy op). They will probably bond over cooking.

Deuce: As soon as Deuce figures out that Jet is a speed-mage, they bond over their love of going really fast and Jet would absolutely love the blastcycles, and then neither of them can be stopped.

Ace: Bickslow would actually adopt Ace first, because he thinks the sleight-of-hand tricks are rad, and then probably teaches Ace even more, which Ace in turns thinks is really cool. Plus, Ace would respect how wildly blunt Bickslow can be. (They would be relentless with the teasing. They will not be stopped.)

Cater: He and Cana would be good buds. Just hanging around, sharing gossip, maybe going shopping...empathizing with the existential dread of always being a background support character with no strong connections. (So they think. The idiots /affectionate.)

Leona: Someway, somehow, Leona is going to blink and accidentally adopt Lisanna as a little sister. She's got a good head on her shoulders and doesn't pick fights but Leona sniffs out that latent exasperation and it's now he's invested in letting Lisanna release her inner feral. As a treat. Also the cat naps are real.

Ruggie: One thing leads to another and now he and Gajeel are sharing pick-pocket techniques from their Street Days. Plus Gajeel can face-tank just about anything and Ruggie would be thrilled to use him as a shield. Also Ruggie would be both impressed (and maybe jealous, because eating metal sounds convenient) to find someone with greater jaw strength than him.

Jack: Panther Lily. They would have the bro nod of respect at first, but Jack would also really look up to him, for being so cool-headed and diligent.

Azul: I'm honestly not sure who he would pick as his favorite, per se, because he would be interested in all of their magics and bounce around, but somehow now I cannot get out of my head that he would love Chico. One, making deals with the dead (in addition to the living) would probably fascinate him; two, family-owned-restaurant/diner buddies. That's it. That's all I got. (He's very Blue Pegasus-shaped though, so I bet he would love that guild.)

Jade: Droy. They will talk about terrestrial plants for literal hours, and Jade will probably bamboozle him into free garden labor. (And Droy would be thrilled to have someone interested.) Honestly a win-win all around.

Floyd: Gray—both because Floyd would think the ice magic is really cool, and because Floyd would have waaaay too much fun messing with him.

Kalim: He and Lucy could totally bond over being sheltered rich kids, and being generally hyper beans. Though Lucy would definitely be the voice of reason, lol.

Jamil: resists the urge to swing into htryds and start my Jamil And Erik Would Be Friends agenda I think Jamil and Kinana would be very chill together, hiding in the corner to destress and then just vibing. (Snek friends.) Kinana would bully Jamil into self-care, probably, and she would probably remind him a bit of Najma. (yes these are my own hcs involving Kinana's characterization but let me have this)

Vil: I think Vil would sniff out Juvia's earnest try-hardness and chaotic people-pleasing and then make her a personal project, so to speak, trying to instill as much self-confidence in her as possible. Then mid nail-painting they hardcore bond over being villainized by random bystanders.

Rook: He, Bisca, and Alzack would have a sharp shooting competition and trade good ol' hunting stories, and maybe gush over baby pictures.

Epel: He'll probably unironically think Elfman is very cool. Elfman will probably declare Epel manly. They'll both shed (manly) tears.

Idia: Happy. Both because Happy is an easy-going cat and because I think Happy would be genuinely amused/interested in video games, or just watching video games. (That said, if Idia is able to get past his people-are-scary anxiety for two seconds, he and Levy would be amazing friends. Mutual nerd infodumping grounds right there.)

Ortho: I think Ortho and Wendy would be good friends. Just helpful little guys. They would equally fuel the other's cinnamon roll status and their secret gremlin status—helping kittens out of trees and bulldozing forests when provoked. That kind of thing. Ortho would be super interested in replicating enchantments on himself, I think, and Wendy would def try to help him out.

Malleus: Natsu would 100% challenge him to a (friendly) fight and then eat his fire at least once, and Malleus would be both very fascinated and thrilled to have a) someone not afraid of him and b) and fellow!! dragon!!!! buddy :D

Lilia: I know there's not really a feasible way for them to actually meet, per se, but Lilia and Mavis would be dangerously good friends. Dangerous for everyone else, that is.

Silver: One sparring match later, and Silver and Erza are definitely sharing a braincell. They'll be talking about swordplay for hours. Erza will introduce him to a new type of cake and change his life. (They are simple, straightforward beans and they will vibe so well.)

Sebek: He will probably do his best to antagonize almost everyone, but nevertheless, you know who I think he would get along great with? Evergreen. Whether or not he believes she is a fairy is irrelevant; they will agree that fairies are superior. They bond over having their favorite dragon dude they dote on and find ways to be dramatic. Evergreen will gift him some coat or accessory and Sebek will be so honored.

Help me with cosplay pls?(I will ask a lot more often after this)

(Disclaimer - May contain spoilers for some star wars movies including "Rise of skywalker" etc. Tho honestly. This movie is from 2019. If you haven't watched it yet it's a you problem.)

Hi everyone. So lately I have been troubled by an issue called Wanting to cosplay a character that there is no demand for anymore.

In my case none other than Armitage Hux. Aka General Hux. Aka "I am the spy". Aka died in the stupidest way possible in "Rise of Skywalker"(2019).

Which makes the following problems occure:

The cosplay is not sold anymore

If it is sold, it's sold for a lot of money(while I am broke)

Which brought me to the conclusion of making it myself.

Maybe not the best idea as someone who never actually cosplayed anyone. But I am well known for destroying my self esteem so here we go.

The main issue i have at the beginning of this process (if we don't count the fact that I am not ginger, really small, and don't have the correct body type for this cosplay) is his coat(picture will be added on the bottom if i will figure out how to do that lol(I did not figure out how to do that. So google yourself pls)). I mean the very long one he wears most of the time. Since I do not have any experience with sewing i thought about buying a really similar one and work on the details to make it look like his.

After searching on the internet the closest I could get was a trench coat... which is not really accurate yk.. In the end I did not find a similar one sadly which is why I am asking for help here(social anxiety go brr). If anyone knows where i can find a similar coat it would be very apreciated since I do not think that making a coat as a first sewing project is a great idea lol.

PS. If this post doesn't reach anyone I will.. be really sad lmao

PS.2 Have a cat for your help:3 (The cat owner asked me to mention that his name is Salami. Disclaimer:He does not like Salami!)

Self-indulgent doodle go brr

Dont feel bad about making content you like! I love your x readers sure and I can't wait for some of the X Reader stuff you've been working on to be updated. But you should also enjoy yourself, I personally am iffy on fandom mingling but not because I think it's bad. I think the hate rare pairs get these days or cross-fandom shipping hate stems from people who had never participated in fandom joining the fandom spaces in 2020 who now have made all these rules around everything including stuff like rare pairs and cross-fandom shipping. Like everywhere but Tumblr absolutely rags on stuff like that now because we can't have fun anymore. Keep shipping and making content you enjoy :D

Hello, darling, this is such a nice message, thank you a lot! Kinda feel a little awkward that I have so many people reassuring me when for me it was just another mood swing and no big deal in the grand scheme of things, but I won't lie, this is very comforting.

I guess I just feel bad that I "abandoned" something that was more personal in favour of the thing that gives me more feedback/validation? Luckily I don't get any hate on my rarepair, but I don't get nowhere nearly as much feedback on it wither, even if we compare like a Karlach x Soap work that's fully fleshed out and some x reader headcanons that I literally pulled out of my ass in 40 minutes because adhd go brr. Of course it feels good to know that I'm capable of making someting enjoyable for people even at rapid speed (and I certainly put love in the quick thingies too, I cannot write without love), but then I sit and think like. Yeah I guess I am incapable of making anyone interested in something really personal like Karlach x Soap? Cuz what? Cuz I suck? Cuz I'm not good enough? Cuz I can't convey how much love I feel for the rarepair and infect people with it?

It's all bullshit in my head, honestly, cuz I know there are people that enjoy them, and that there are other crossfandom shipping freaks (what's up rise of the brave tangled frozen dragons), but I'm just sometimes real self-conscious about everything I do cuz like. Boohoo you feedback slut, abandoning your passion project/rarepair for the easy shiny thing. And it's dumb, because I love what I do for x reader, you love what I do for x reader, why can't I just have fun with you? I dunno. I just hate fun I guess /jk

Anyway, sorry for rambling and going off topic, I want to thank you again from the bottom of my silly heart for enjoying whatever you enjoy that I do. Be it one work, one series, some other random bullshit or my four am polls about stabbing people with forks - I am so happy I have you to share them. I just need to stop ruining my own happiness.

Also side note, I have a fuckton of ideas/wips (that list I posted recently? only got bigger), so if you're waiting for something particular, it's okay to reach out to me and ask (ofc if you're being polite, but you're clearly very kind and nice to me already, so I trust you'll be the sweetest). I basically jump from one thing to another with no system at all, so having a slight direction will be nice. I feel good when I know I make other people feel good, so requests are welcome ^^

[valleyfthdolls]

Because I think we may be at risk of splitting this character depending on how the story goes I’m going to insert a version of him into my funny self indulgent story to live and find peace and happiness and hope my brain doesn’t project some shit onto him not getting the help he needs in his arc and then hit us with the “haha alter machine go brr” shit because That’s gonna be Embarrassing

[hypnosiacon-archived]

Ekjfkwfjkfjfisjd omg I like it so much! Can ryu tell me more about this character?

- 🫧 sea star anon 🫧

Oh i have A LOT of info to uncover! Some things are already in my TF blog (@tf-bitedownme *wink wink*) including info about his hands and weapons he have there!

His name is Leviathan (He/cy), he's a model (kinda), sniper, and a Chosen One of the God of Transformation. He's a part of Divine Species called Lycanformers (Lycan from Lycanthrope kinda, nothing was fitting, and it's just vibes rather than meaning of a word) created by Adaptus as a part of Guiding Hand project (There's 5 of them, means 5 Celestials).

He is kinda of my self-insert to the point where I'm kinda him but also not (median go brr), so this pretty boy is loved and lusted by all, because he's nice, he's cool, he's pretty and just why not?

He's also very small and transforms into a little jet, that's more like a drone or UAV lol. It's his IDW version tho, he's much different in other canons. Like in TFA he's a true hybrid, in Cyberverse he was made by Quintessons, in Bayverse he was made by my different self-insent Camil and in Prime he's just a simple bot, because there's a fucking DRAMA going no time for making weird species stuff

lksm laugh headcanons

crystal is a 8/10 because she's hot but -1) she's mean -2) she inherited her dad's ugly cackle-laugh

eugene laughs like anime villains. "fufufu" giggling ass. ryuhei's sick of it like laugh like a real man onegaishimasu.

ryuhei has an anime ikemen laugh he trained himself into it bc he thinks it makes him look cool but mitsuki thinks he's lame

zack has a wheeze-laugh, he used to be self conscious about it bc ppl said he sounded like a squeaky violin but mira said it's cute so it's all fine now

zoe's like zack with the wheeze laugh but she sounds like a dolphin this is the main thing that gets daniel giggling bc It's Just So Funny Do You Get It

daniel also has a cackle-laugh but it's infectiously funny bc when things are stupidly funny he laughs himself into tears and smacks people and falls off chairs bc he's hunched over trying to stop himself it's hilarious to watch

self-projection go brr but jay laughs like me you can see his shoulders shaking but he doesn't make any sound unless he gets infected by daniel's laughing in which case he's squeaking and getting stitches bc the second they stop laughing daniel starts giggling again and it's so funny it's an unstoppable chain reaction

vasco has a full chest laugh, the type of Manly Laugh ryuhei would go HELL YEAH at

gun does not know how to smile properly + when he laughs he doesn't really laugh he just goes pfffft and smirks bc he's usually mocking people

RAPH:
