#she has those alt vibes to her 100%

[snappl3]

Can u draw a adult cassie like how u drew a adult gregory a while ago? (Sorry about my terrible english,and not forcing btw)

One thing I see I mistake with Cassie is drawing her skin color correctly. ☠️

I RETURN BEARING DOODLES OF ZE KEIK!

Hello again! :D I felt like drawing Keiki because I had nothing else to do and I also wanted to draw Keiki again because C R E A T E !

{Artists Note}:

So I had some ideas bouncing around for how I wanted to draw Keiki, and the first time I went with a more robotic look that was inspired by BoTW. I also wanted an excuse to try out some stuff with collages, and so I used an 1800s drawing of a skeleton to put this together. I added a face and a head just for fun, but tbh I wasn't 100% happy with it even though I did like how it looked. I might wanna save the BoTW inspired parts for a future Okina design as I think the constellation motiffe some BoTW Sheikah stuff has fits her more (and I have adopted the headcanon that she has prosthetics, I love it so much).

Like ok, context for this is headcanons. So as I mentioned in my post about Eirin, I wanted to play around with the visual idea of gods in Touhou being very much related to what they're gods of.

So at first with Keiki I tried just making her look like a haniwa herself, but I ended up not going with that as I like the idea of her being distinguishable from the Haniwa she creates. So instead, I ended up going with a more cyberpunk aesthetic for her, inspired in part by Cyberpunk Edgerunners (no spoilers plz, I haven't finished it yet). It's also the reason why I did an alternative cyberpunk outfit for her (inspired by a dress I found on Pinterest).

I feel like the hardest things about drawing Keiki are her dress and hair bandanna. In the image above with her normal outfit, I had a lot of struggle with the sleeves, and I couldn't really get her hair bandanna right. In the faces I drew of her I had a slightly easier time, but still, it's hard to get it to look right. However in the alt design I gave her I somehow managed to make it look right??? Don't know what I did there but I actually like how it looks, so I'll keep what I did there in mind for the next time I draw her.

Speaking of her alt design, it was actually a lot of fun for me to do. I imagine that's her more "official" outfit, don't know what she'd where it for but I mainly drew it on her because i had a cool idea ok?

Also, on the day I drew her initial face render, I had watched Serial Experiments Lain and I think those vibes bled into the sketch version. Upon further inspection of the rendered and coloured version it kinda lost that but it's more to try out a different brush for my style.

Also also, I experimented with giving her earrings! Which didn't make it to the final cut, but still wanted to try it out! This also came as a learning experience on what makes Keiki look like Keiki... it's the hair bandanna, every time she doesn't have it, she doesn't look like herself.

To end it off, I think the unhinged Keiki face I drew for her expressions (since everyone I've been drawing recently has kinda all been lookin like varitations of this face -> (o _ o) gonna need to draw more expressions period actually, need practice on that) is now my favourite unhinged Keiki face I've ever drawn LOL. Expect more Keiki sketches in the future because I do love drawing my beloved blue haired blorbo.

7 days until THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT makes its debut and I wanted to make a little predictions post. I’m so excited to hear the devastation Miss Swift seems to have in store for us and I can’t wait to hear what it sounds like. There’s often a song on the previous album that is an early edition of the subsequent album’s sound. I have 4 guesses that may be a peek at what’s in store next Friday. Since it seems like it may be relevant, these songs are also thematically on trend, however we should always remain alert to Taylor loving a bait and switch.

1) Dear Reader/You’re Losing Me: I think these songs might be a thematic trend for what’s in store. A look at her own faults and things she may have kept hidden to put on a brave face. A breakdown of why a break up happened. However, I suspect that she will have sonically moved on from these two. I do not think she would put out Midnights 2.0.

2) The Great War: an advancement of Folklore, Evermore, and Midnights’ sounds while still being on theme.

3) Hits Different: I’m not 100% sure what to call this genre. Sort of a late 90’s/early 00’s adult contemporary-alt-pop-singer-songwriter Alanis/Natalie Imbruglia/Michelle Branch/vanessa Carleton vibes. Maggie Rogers has really started exploring this space and Olivia Rodrigo’s dipped her toes in a bit as well (anyone else an immediate Girl I’ve Always Been stan?). However, is there enough variety in sounds here for 20 new Swift songs to explore? Maybe not, but a biased me hopes she might dabble a bit more as it’s a really great genre for her to fire off a bunch of killer lines with a bit of sass or sense of humor. There’s also the artifacts/evidence lines in Hits Different and those words have made their way into some of the small amount of information we’ve gotten prior to the albums release.

4) The Alcott: while not from Midnights, this is still in the right time period so it fits in my opinion! Midnights maybe started off with a few songs written with Aaron Dessner before a pivot to full Antonoff based on an interview Aaron gave where he talked about when they worked on Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve. Maybe there were some more things she kept in the drafts for later. A heavier emphasis on the piano (perfect for acoustic surprise songs!), heavy and melancholy vibes, and vague lyrics that might still be protecting some identities seems like an easy pivot for her.

5) Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve: a surprise 5th option I thought of writing number 4! Raw, angry, a bit more rock-influenced, many people were expecting this direction based on the aesthetic of the Midnights photoshoot. Taylor’s in tune with her audience and is certainly aware this is a sound nobody would be sad to see from her. It fits with the emotional space she might have been in, and is another genre pivot she could dominate. She is strategic though, and an Album of the Year nom is pretty unlikely back to back with her record-setting win in a very stacked year. Knowing how successful these full pivots have been for her, she might hold off until a more advantageous time. Although I think post-pandemic cancelled Lover-fest (with possibly Cruel Summer as a single attached?) and the adoration for some of the vault songs has made her not want to hesitate to put out good music. You never know what’s around the corner and it’s easier to stay on top than claw your way back up.

Which vibes are your favorite and what are you hoping for from TTPD? Cowboy Carter review is imminent and I hope to fire off Maggie Rogers’ before next Friday too!

Trigun Social Media Au: Usernames Pt2

And we’re back, same things as last time but this time with the gunho guns + knives

(Also lmk if I did anything weird with the Livio/Razlo hcs, if so I’ll delete this post and redo it better/with better ideas :3)

Elendira ➬ studdedchanel

Okok listen to me I think elendira would totally have an aesthetics account

Like Yknow those twt accs that are just incredibly aesthetically pleasing with nice photos and layouts and just so nice? Yeah

Except she’s not a WEIRDO LIKE SO MANY ARE

Her pintrest and twt are linked and she vlogs her life on YouTube

Everyone wants to be her her aesthetic consistency is a-1

Livio/Razlo ➫ Livin.Violo

Now if I said it was LivinViolo at first but after he found wolfwood again through social media he put the dot in so they match wwyd?

Livio’s content is a mix of inspirational content gym content and then him getting into arguments online via game lobby/chat

I think Razlo would post the gym content showing off reps and the like, like almost short mostly silent gym blogs

One thing for sure is that they both use that darkened filter that makes everything look so much more dramatic for gym videos and then the gaming ones are edited like 2016 gaming montages

Midvalley ➬ MValleyJazz

This is his business account actually he plays at weddings and bar mitzvahs and funerals

He posts mostly on Instagram and his tiktok is very much an afterthought, like he’s following one person

He posts covers for popular songs on the sax, for example Yaosobi’s IDOL on the sax

I’m just sayin he makes bank

Zazie ➫ wcrmmxster

Ysee the o is a c because the c looks like a curled up worm

This is the most on the nose one because I wanted it to have a more edgy vibe like someone’s user being skullgrave or something

……maybe a tiktok cosplayer I haven’t decided yet

Legato ➬ puppetgore

Oh look another edgy mf god forbid we open some fuckin CURTAINS

Anyways this is for his non business accounts, he has alts to give people he sees everyday outside of the internet

I think he’d be one of those borderline obnoxious commentators who stream fps games in their free time and are unsurprisingly mid at them

Talkin shit and bottom fragging you get it

Knives ➫ Million.O.Knives

Who’s surprised. Not me.

I think he’s a gameplay streamer who had a vtuber for a while and hen someone pissed him off so bad he had to turn it off so the audience could fully understand his anger

“I’m shit?? IM SHIT??? YOURE LITERALLY— hold the fuck on….” *click off vtuber* *change screen* *click on camera* *he is literally 4 inches from the camera* “WE ALL WATCHED YOU FUMBLE A CLUTCH WHEN THE ENEMY WAS OFF FUCKING LINE I DONT WANNA HEAR IT. I NEED GOD TO SEND THE FLOOD.”

After that he goes back to the vtuber but if someone donos 100 he’ll turn on facecame for the rest of stream what a fuckin scammer wish I could do that

[aliatori]

Oh hello hi, 14, 16 and 25 for the Spotify thingie pls ☺️

14. A song you think is underrated I either listen to bands that are mega popular (at least now, eyeing Sleep Token's recent success) or like, obscure electro-shit, so it took me a while to comb through a figure out a song I think is underrated. I think I'm going to go with The Blood Moon by Holy Boy. 1,425 monthly listeners is a pretty wimpy amount for Spotify, but by the gods, does this song make me want to rip my heart out of my chest. And no, not JUST because it's one of my All Time Favourite Hubriel songs. The entire EP, Holy Boy, is strong imo. It has a lot of the indie-alt sound that's popular in some circles right now, but I guess since it's from 2017 and they haven't made much new music since, it remains under the radar. (As a special bonus for you - even though it wasn't in my top 100 this year - I think Deep Sky has a lot of aliatori/roadsoftrial solidarity. It's very horny and sensual but also has strong folk overtones, which is basically a combination of our brands). 16. A song everyone should know Oh wow, huh. I got stuck on this question for a bit because I don't believe in the concept of universal appeal, lmfao. (There's the most Scorpio thing I'll say this answer). If we take the angle of a song I want everyone to know—DATURA [paroxysm] by Crywolf. It's weird and wonderful in a way I love, and I think Crywolf is also underrated. (And also, like, very hot, in case you were curious). 25. Favourite lyrics of your #100 song Guess what... you STILL get a Sleep Token song at number 100! This time, it's Alkaline.

A friend and I were discussing a while back that this song is very gender and would be max gender without the specific pronoun usage, but even so, I still adore it for those vibes:

It's too late for me now, I am altered There is something beneath She's not acid nor alkaline Caught between black and white Not quite either day or night She's perfectly misaligned I'm caught up in her design And how it connects to mine I see in a different light The objects of my desire

I'm manifesting that a nonbinary artist sing a cover of this with 'they' pronouns. One of my favourite artists HVDES did a cover of "Granite" already, so I think I may have some manifestation powers in this arena.

[aturnipsingularity]

Turnip, what's YOUR album of the year if you had to pick one? Pitch it to me, infect me with ur music taste

Okay, so I can't pick just one, so I'll throw a handful of my faves that I discovered this year into the ring. The most recent would be Eternal Blue by Spiritbox. Underrated alt/prog metal band, and I haven't heard a whole lot of others talking about them. I really like the way the first couple of tracks blend together, and the lead vocalist has an amazing voice. She has this really melodic singing that meshes well with her death growl. I also really like that there's a good mix of slower songs with the harder music. There's a lot of good variety, and the pacing is really nice.

Favorite song: Silk In The Strings

I also finally listened to The Death of Peace of Mind by Bad Omens this year. I had heard a couple of their singles before, but I hadn't checked out the full work until recently. I was really glad I did, because it's amazing. Lots of bangers in there, 10/10 would recommend. I really enjoy metal/post-hardcore in general, but the synths and electronics give the music a really nice boost to the energy (see one of my fave albums of all time -- Trauma by I Prevail). It makes it really punchy, and I love that!

Favorite song: ARTIFICIAL SUICIDE or bad decisions

I also want to recommend Take Me Back to Eden by Sleep Token, because I was very hyped for it to come out this year. However, I was let down a little bit and do have a few reservations about the album in general. I think it's great. The vibe of it is really ethereal, and I appreciate the fluidity of the songs in terms of tone and sound. But, it suffers from a lack of variety in tempo. A lot of the songs are slower, and the sequencing itself doesn't lend any room for picking up the energy it loses after the first 5 songs. I also hate the songs Are You Really Okay? and DYWTYLM. They don't feel like they belong. At all. They feel like filler/billboard top 100 and less of this otherworldy, almost ghostly sound they're trying to go for. It also took me a few listens to come around to Ascensionism and The Apparition, but I do really appreciate those songs, and I really quite like them now. It's a really good album that took a few misteps. The Summoning is so good, though. There's a reason it's their most popular song. If you're going to listen to it, I would recommend listening in the following order, because it's the best one I've found for right now. Although it's also not perfect by far, and you can hear the tonal shift after the first three songs, I think it feels a bit more balanced. I can't say I'm quite satisfied with it, but it's still a lot better imo

Drop Are You Really Okay? and DYWTYLM. Don't put them in the playlist.

1. Chokehold

2. Vore

3. The Summoning

4. Aqua Regia

5. Ascensionism

6. The Apparition

7. Granite

8. Rain

9. Euclid

10. Take Me Back to Eden

Favorite song: Euclid or Chokehold

And a small honorable mention to these albums that I finally got to listen to, but don't have enough thoughts on (yet) to rant about:

So Much (For) Stardust by Fall Out Boy

Rain City Drive by Rain City Drive

The Click (Deluxe Edition) by AJR (don't judge me I really like them)

Opal (original soundtrack) by Jack Stauber

Frontiers by Journey

Empire by Queensrÿche

4 by Foreigner

I really should have listened to the older albums sooner, but I just never got around to it -- even though I know multiple songs from each one.

I'll eventually talk about all of the other entries on this list, as well as my all-time favorites (not listed) and the other couple of recents I have yet to finish. Mostly just because I like talking about music lmao but today is not that day. Also you have to tell me about your music taste now!

Trying To Predict Fire Emblem Engages Emblem Roster

So with Engage coming out with 4 waves of DLC, I've already said who I wanted, but if we want to try and figure out who actually will show up we can use a few methods. A is using vibes, purely the vibes, this person has the vibe of someone who might get in. B is using history, these are the characters IS choses to highlight in media, they get the most FEH alts, Cipher Cards, they were in Awakening DLC with new art, etc. C is using story importance, which is a subjective mater, mostly vibes but you could basically go "characters who appear in cutscenes and typically can't die". D is by popularity, using Chose You Legends Polls we have the data IS uses to sell us units, we know they use it to make banners.

Here is me doing method D, which is an easy to do method of looking at the newest CYL, most modern fanbase opinions and the winners because we have no idea how well they would have done in future polls. We also have no idea how well the Three Hopes characters would do cuz they weren't out last CYL.

If purely on popularity, Gatekeeper would be our next DLC character technically he got the most votes other than Edelgard ever. However, we all know those votes were puffed up by bots. I also put Lysethia there twice, that was an accident. I also don't think Adult Tiki or Female Byleth could show up as anything but skins for their counter parts.

Ultimately I think popularity is a very small factor for the DLC, they already put in the most popular Fire Emblem character of all time in the DLC and it's bought as a pass. I think it will matter a lot but it won't be like, we can't do this if they weren't in the top 50 of CYL. Maybe top 100 is more the cut off but I didn't wanna keep putting things on a list.

The final method we could use outside of hacking IS's computers and then just seeing what they are working on is method E, the mechanical method.

Instead of thinking about things that aren't going to add to the function of the DLC like the deepest lore and stuff, we only focus on what unique things a character could bring to the table. This does include some fairly popular characters for the games but also some not as much popular characters. For the examples I just picked the characters I like most to fill the examples here but a lot of these have more options I simply didn't include because i'm not betting on them.

So number one is Robin, they are mechanically significant because they could recall into any class sure but that became a standard feature. They also have a fairly unique class, sword plus magic but three houses also added that to the pool. Instead what Robin has is narratively unique mechanics. Robin is the big bad with the power to revive the dead, corrupt people and turn into their true giant evil dragon form. This instead is what makes Robin stand out because their a playable character with this kind of ability as opposed to just normal baddies who might also have that but aren't like usable in the games. I think Robin can bring dark dragon transformation and some of the enemy mechanics to the player side.

I think the avatar mechanic is already covered but I did want to put Kris there just to like mention, that is mechanically significant but we have Byleth and Corrin. Similarly Minerva I put here because I think she represents a mechanic type better than any other character, the axe flying wyvern rider. She is so big to the developers and does play a very special role mechanically in the series she deserves a little shout out.

Now we have our thief lords, these two basically are especially important thief characters. A type of character who could bring super thief abilities to the table could bring in mechanically some significant special strategies. It seems like a solid set of mechanics to throw in as bonus content.

Dancers are a series staple but only a few of them are like super important in their stories, I didn't include Ryson but Leanne is standing in for her whole family. I think Azura is probably a dead lock for the DLC but I think a special dancer presents mechanically some new avenues. We know Byleth can do a 4 way dance with their best move but other advanced dances could be brought in, dances that do buffs, dances that add extra move, dances that give you immunity to break, etc.

TMS and Heroes are both mechanically different games that IS apparently owns the rights to. TMS is basically just engage but in modern day and Heroes is like Engage but a gacha. Still they both bring in mechanics that are not present in Engage that could be represented through a representive from their games. They would represent the game itself more then themselves as a character bringing in like specials or elemental magic systems or whatever. Idk that any of these happen but their worth showing here.

Then we have the Pegesus sisters, the characters in the most games and the original users of The Triangle Attack. We don't know if this mechanic is returning but this ring could provide a version of the mechanic if it isn't. Lining up Three Fliers next to a unit so long as one has this ring allowing for a super special attack or damage. In general they could add some more positioning importance on the player phase.

Of course we have the beasts, the best of the best here. Beast units are present in 4 games in the series. These units are very popular even if they don't place at the top of popularity polls. Mechanically each kind of beast has something a little different but the core is they shapeshift into an animal of some kind and use that as their method of fighting. Having beast transformation would be something totally new and bring that to players allowing them to experience a fairly significant part of FE history through an emblem ring since at present we do not know if any beast units will be in the game, although it is always possible they are simply unrevealed. It could even be a set up for the story, maybe there is a secret nations of beasts of fled the lands afraid of humans and the emblem rings play a story role along with the new mechanical role. Doubt that's what will happen but it's possible.

Then we have our final few units here, these are units who are wholly uniquely positioned in the franchise. Summoner is the only Fire Emblem character to ever have a gun. Xane is a shapeshifter who is able to turn into your allied units, which could make for an amazingly fun ring. Hector is the only armored lord in the series making him the most significant armor character by far. Tanith has a very unique mechanic the likes of which we will likely never see again, she was able to press a button and summon allied units, generic pegesus fliers that you could use in battle. Tanith's ability might be a little similar to the summoner class but unlike that class these are explictly soliders that exist in the army, a ring could push that mechanic allowing allied units to spawn on the map. Then Elenica's class is wholly her own, a staff/sword/flier is a wildly fun combo allowing for some of the strongest healing in the series. This unique class positioning allows for her to provide a lot of interesting things in terms of mechanics.

----

Alright here is me rambling about methods we can use to try to predict DLC for this game. Ultimately we don't know the number of extra emblems we're getting, it could be as low as 4 new rings and the high ceiling is infinite. So without those kind of boundaries we really don't even have a means of calling accurately. If I had to say a 4 most likely I'd say like Robin, Azura, Hector, Camilla totally on vibes right now my main hope is that there is just a decent amount of women represented. I'd like the gender ratio on emblems to go back to 50/50 [at present men have 1 more unless there is a secret 13th ring and that secret ring is a woman like Alears mom or Female Robin]. It be really easy for the game to just add a bunch of men because their the most important characters and call it a day.

Ultimately, I believe this will be a mix of methods, where they kind of consider all the factors, looking at their time frame, and decide what it is they want in their game. At 30 bucks I do hope we see at least 8 more engage rings, preferably 10 to match the 12 emblem rings in game. For now, we just have to wait and see. Tell me who you want or think will get in.

[true-unicorn-queen]

okay so Taylor is predicted to be a billionaire from the Eras Tour. The first in history to do that with Music as her primary source of income. I am seeing so many people being salty about it. And I just don't agree.

I do believe that no one should have that much money but when you zoom in - it's not the having the money that is an issue. It's how someone gets there. Think of the biggest names and you would 100% have heard someone say something about being mistreated by them, in one way or the other, if not outright abused. And in 15+ years of her career no one has ever heard of her mistreat an employee or anyone for that matter. 15+ years! It's not a short time. If anything was there, it would have come out.

She is a damn good business woman. And sure, she didn't start at dirt poor family with no connections but her father was a lawyer. A lawyer. There are a million other lawyers all over the world and there is only 1 Taylor. Yes, her father could buy shares in BMR, (which I don't think is entirely wrong. What father wouldn't do everything to support their child?) but it is her hard work and talent that made her the most successful artist in the world today.

Her political views have nothing to do with her being a businesswoman. And her political views don't matter. Unless you are looking at her to be a moral compass. And that is not her job. In the grand scheme of things, her being a liberal or radical, or her southern upbringing, don't matter because that is not business.

Most of the people who complain about her don't really see the hard work and drive she puts into her work. You might not like it. You might prefer alt rock grunge music or something. But popular things are popular for a reason. That being that those things are relatable to everyone. And you shouldn't dismiss her business strategies just because you don't personally vibe with her.

She is perhaps the only person who I think truly deserves all the money she is about to earn from the Eras Tour. We, radicals especially, push women to make the dough, but when the dough is made we bitch not that much dough. It's a double edged sword. Maybe we shouldn't hold women to higher standards than men. Just saying.

The ‘Alt’ to ‘Basic’ Pipeline

(what was going on)

2020 saw the rise of TikTok, causing a surge in microtrends and a general shift in what young people considered trendy. The word ‘alt’ was suddenly being used more and more to describe a certain style. This style was not limited to just clothes but makeup, social media posts, and music too; being ‘alt’ was like a way of life at this point. The ‘alt’ style boomed into popularity in 2020, and suddenly everyone had adopted this look.

Thick eyeliner, Monster Energy drinks, highly saturated photos, and a generally slightly dishevelled look were all defining factors of this ‘alt’ style that had taken teenagers by storm.

The only thing I can compare this style to is the character Effy from the 2000s show Skins. She was wild, wore funky outfits, and always had a party girl look about her. This was very much what the 'alt' style was trying to encapsulate; the only issue was that no one could go out and do all the crazy things that gave Effy her iconic look.

My theory is that because of young people's lack of socialisation, outings, and fun with friends due to lockdown, the ‘alt’ style was a way of compensating for that by making yourself look and seem as fun and interesting as you could while staying indoors; it was all a kind of facade.

I mentioned people expressing the ‘alt’ style through their clothes and makeup, but social media also had a massive part to play. Bands like 100 Gecs and Mother Mother had become extremely popular on TikTok, with teens everywhere using their music as a soundtrack for their posts as well as their lives. These fast-tempo, intense, and slightly chaotic songs perfectly encapsulated the slightly rebellious vibe the ‘alt’ style was trying to put out, and this trend went on for the better part of a year.

Another really big part of this trend was the constant competition and resentment towards people who were considered "basic". These were essentially people who didn’t participate in this trend, and there was definitely resentment on both ends in terms of who had the better style, etc. This was a consistent thing throughout the duration of the ‘alt’ era.

What happened? Now in 2023, it seems the ‘alt’ style of 2020 has pretty much vanished. We’ve seen the rise and fall of various other trends, but none have been as intense as the ‘alt’ era. I think the trend came hand in hand with a series of issues that became hard to ignore after a while. It’s hard to adopt this wild, edgy party girl persona without experiencing or acknowledging the negatives. This trend definitely romanticised things like substance abuse and deteriorating mental health and attributed them to being cool and wild. Although not everyone experienced these issues, the connotation behind the look was always there.

I think as people heal, they move away from this look. As the teenagers who participated in the trend grow and find a sense of self, the need to conform to a look that revolves around mental instability and being generally chaotic as a person lessens. Finding peace as an individual and how you are feeling mentally is often reflected in your clothes and other lifestyle choices, and naturally, that has led people away from the ‘alt’ look. Everyone is interesting in their own way, and physically presenting as "ordinary" does not diminish that. I feel that moving away from this trend has reduced some of the resentment between those who dress differently, which is definitely a positive outcome.

I’m sure there are still people who dress in the 2020 ‘alt’ style and feel that is the best way to express themselves, and there is nothing wrong with that. What’s important is not to participate in a trend that makes you feel detached from yourself and your true identity, which is what I feel a lot of people were doing when this style was at its most popular.

Your worth is not determined by what you wear; healing and presenting yourself differently do not mean you are no longer as interesting; being yourself is the best way to let people see how interesting you are.

Peace and love <3

Heyo, thanks for responding to this one @rachelsshowerthoughts Mood and my sympathies on the sickness angle too ><

Haha, understandable, I have a similar gut reaction whenever Andre's portrayed as like, genuinely caring and just a little confused as opposed to an emotional leech with no morals.

Say hi to Mimi for me XD As a sort of interesting aside, the two main motives behind this were as follows: 1: Someone once noted that they felt Audrey was the "Less terrible" parent by virtue of not going out of her way to inflict herself on Chloe. IE not living with her or acting as a parent, compared to Andre's hands on cluster fuckery. Not that she was 'good' just that she wasn't trying if that makes sense. I found it interesting but also was a bit sus on it cos Audrey does seem to take on the role of mother, when it suits her. Much in the same way Andre would discipline Chloe, when it suited him. Still, it was interesting. 2: Was mostly rooted in the fact I tend to find bad moms in media get it way, way, wat worse than bad dads. & so kind of wanting to balance the scales a bit while not ignoring that, yeah Audrey's a deeply unpleasant person and terrible parent.

I think you are right that there being some degree of growth for Audrey would be good. & I definitely agree that avoiding that growth being tied to her wanting to be a mom or being a mom beyond circumstances works best. Honestly I kind of have Anton Ego vibes:

Obviously via an Audrey filter or three but you get the idea I think?

I agree as well regarding Chloe, I think the main emphasis would be needing to de-couple her sense of self worth from whether Audrey can be her mother. IE, no one no matter how exceptional could have made Audrey mother them because mothering is not in her, she mentors at most. Chloe's not a 'failure' or 'unexceptional' cos Audrey can't find it in herself to be a parent, that was never a possibility.

I also agree that yeah they'd need to work something out in these regards and that it'd be good if they had some kind of relationship provided it was not toxic. Audrey has strong wine aunt vibes and like broad strokes family works. Plus I could see them getting along in a 'de coupled from familial/parental expectations & obligations' sense, provided Audrey chilled out a bit.

Completely agreed on divorcing Andre.

I also think seeking custody would be kind of the big challenge cos Audrey's not been present. Plus, "He encourages her to seek affection from me that he knows I won't give & then takes advantage of her rejection sadness" is not exactly a winning case. Add in that she largely spends her time in America and is willful and aggressive by default and she'd be an intensely unsympathetic figure in such a case.

It occurs to me she might just consider taking Chloe's "Take me to New York momma" idea and running with it. Audrey's idea to largely just send Chloe to the same boarding school as Zoe, but Andre's Akumatization stops that & also wigs her out once she sees a recording of her behavior under his control. Like before this was just about her barely coherent sense of standards, not its personal as he's made himself a threat. Also I wonder if she'd interpret Chloe's "Take me to New York" stuff differently in that context, cos its not like she was suggesting Andre come along.

(Oh my gosh I love that idea, and heck, Gabriel might briefly chill on the Hawk Moth stuff cos Audrey avoids goading Chloe into going out as Queen Bee. But he still had Heroes Day set up so like, he'd 100% fall back into temptation.

Also gods hahaha, I love the idea of her being self aware enough regarding how low she set the bar as a parent and being flabbergasted others managed to limbo under it XD

Low key I am reminded of those "Alt parent pairs" I sent to @princess-of-the-corner & how amusing it was the Audrey pairs tended to be slightly better off, not good but less terrible. Largely by virtue of the fact she doesn't hide how awful she is so if someone went in eyes wide open it could be... Functional? Like still terrible, but not terrible & dysfunctional, just terrible.)

Yeah I can definitely see that being the case, and hey, if we're going by the original trilogy seasons, Jean & Bustier both care about Chloe. Like dumping a full on teenager to raise on them is probably not workable legally, but there's options XD But yeah agreed, I don't think Chloe would want to leave Paris for ever.

So you know how some fics have like "Andre Sugar" in the tags to indicate he'll not be portrayed as the bastard he is in S1/3?

I came up with an alternative type of tag, "Character X Cinnamon" with it basically being:

If this character is so good you are giving them some sin to spice things up. But if they are too evil you are adding a little bit of 'sweetness' without forgetting what they are.

In this context, an Audrey cinnamon fic would be like... she stumbles on a conversation Chloe is having with Andre trying to get comfort & advice on impressing Audrey & the mix of how that interaction looks and what Andre says.

IE stuff that makes it quite clear he's done nothing to disabuse Chloe of the notion Audrey just needs to be impressed to love her when frankly Audrey just does not fucking 'want' to parent & made that clear many times over.

Well it leaves her a little... Off, it feels a little too familiar, and a little too scummy for her to just write it off as Andre's usual neediness and simpering explanations and excuses for anything that creating problems in his life.

Cue, this is just an idea it could go many way, pulling Sabine aside at the fashion show either day 1 or 2 and being like.

"Your family's mundane. Tell me, does Andre's relationship with Chloe seem normal to you?" "...." "That silence does not fill me with confidence, unless you misunderstood." "I understood you fine, I was just thinking. But no, it does come off a little unseemly." "Dammit all." "Why are you bringing this up so suddenly, did you just notice?" "Obviously, why else would I be bringing it up this moment, use your head." "I can see where Chloe got her charming personality from." "I didn't raise her, if she's like me its... Ugh, because Andre probably wanted her that way, or is that assuming things? I don't know when children start thinking for themselves." ".... You should speak to Madame Bustier, her teacher, she might be of more help." Audrey's head tipped back in a beleaguered groan.

Basically Audrey's still fucking awful but she has like a handful of barely coherent & even contradictory standards for what she deems acceptable. Andre being a raising his daughter to be Audrey's carbon copy but one that 'needs' him & encouraging her to appeal to a woman he knows will reject her happens to tick such a box.

So she's going to have to do something about it, but she A, has zero idea what she's doing, B, fucking HATES doing it and C, is still by and large otherwise the worst (tm)

Like such a story would not end in Audrey being all, "Oh I actually want to be a mother & make up for lost time."

But more like, "I made a stupid decision having a child when I didn't want one & have neither the heart nor capabilities to parent. But I will do the right thing here; I am gonna be real bitter about it though."

This spin on Audrey would sort of rely on taking her abuse as mostly just her being indifferent to Chloe in a "I did not want to be a parent" way and so she treats her like everyone else. IE like shit.

As opposed to her having any other kind of motive or reasons for said behavior or there being more to said abusive behavior than what was seen. Which is very easy to conclude by just watching and musing but isn't like, overtly canon.

I feel like I am making this come off as more lighthearted than intended, but that's more a reflection of Audrey's like... Vibe? Sort of like how everything's more somber and clinical from Gabriel's perspective even if its a crack comedy story.

Audrey's perpetually proud, unsatisfied and irritable with little desire to empathize or wallow in any negative emotions that aren't anger or satisfaction born or breaking something. She might be better-ish at the end of such a story but she'd not do a 180 like Andre's shown to do in such fics.

Part of what would be good for Chloe in it is getting that sense of why her mothers like that, that Audrey being shitty isn't on her, and eventually kind of untethering Audrey from "mom" to just, "A woman". So she can seek out connections with people who can and will actually give her what she needs in a paternal relationship.

So, first, sorry this one took me so long to respond to, I've been sick for a few days, and swinging between "coherent" and "what time is it? Sleep, I guess"!

I do like the idea, and think it’s fairly funny, but . . . I'll be honest, I tried to imagine Audrey doing this and just. My brain was like "Error 404, File not found". I COULD NOT imagine Audrey Bourgeois doing this, or being like this. Like, at all. It would not compute in my head. The only way I could think about this idea working was to try and apply it to a different character, then smack it Audrey's name on it.

(Which, again, I'm currently kind of sick, so it could be that - though my friend Mimi started cackling at the fact someone suggested Audrey being in anyway even REMOTELY decent and I basically bluescreened)

If I was doing this, I think I would have some definite character growth for Audrey. Like you say, she still doesn’t become a "good" person. She doesn’t miraculously want to be a mom, or realize that she really DOES love Chloé. But I'd have her grow a bit as a character, to at the very least, treat everyone a little less shitty. Like, she's still blunt, and kind of a bitch, but she becomes a less toxic person overall. She learns how to communicate with other people, figures out how to . . . . I was going to say, "stop insulting everyone", but maybe "be less insulting" is more believable. She isn’t ever going to be "mom" or even "mom-adjacent", but she learns to stop penalizing Chloé for not living up to her impossible standards. She figures out how to interact at least neutrally with Chloé, who, whether she likes it or not, she's responsible for.

Chloé, meanwhile, yeah, should learn to disconnect "Audrey Bourgeois" from the idea of "Mom", which, I'm not sure about how easy that would be. It's definitely going to suck. But, and I'm not sure about this, I feel like Audrey and Chloé should at least develop a rapport. A comfortable way to interact with each other. Cause, at least until Chloé is eighteen, Audrey is partially responsible for her. I'm not saying Audrey has to be loving mom, or that Chloé needs to be "mini-Audrey", but they do need a healthy way to communicate. I think the end result should be something like "distant aunt". Like, you're family, you'll help each other out if you need it, you'll send a wedding invite, and occasionally update each other, but you aren’t super close, and you don’t talk much.

Though, for any of this, I think Audrey would need to divorce André and take custody of Chloé. Like, she doesn’t particularly CARE about being married to André - it’s a status thing, security, and Audrey can deal with him. But Cholé can't (that's the point of all this) so Audrey would need to get Chloé away from him, make sure he doesn’t have any legal say in Chloé at all. And that would be a hell of a headache for all involved.

(Somehow, during this, Hawk Moth's identity comes out. Audrey is left to question how SHE is somehow being a better parent than Gabriel, because my god, the bar is SO LOW, it is literally an INCH off the ground, yet somehow he isn’t clearing it.)

though, afterward, I can see Audrey setting Chloé up with her own place in Paris, with either a paid live-in bodyguard, or regular check-ins or something. Hell, have her move in with Marinette or something, and Audrey sends an allowance. Like, I don’t see Chloé actually wanting to permanently leave Paris, Audrey doesn’t want to stay (she has work), so they figure out some arrangement that lets her stay in Paris.

Clwdeen used to give big Afrolatina from Long Island vibes as well and now it’s like. Wow she’s in glasses how coooooooool. I miss when the monster high girls were alt before it was tiktok cool to be alt like always in fishnets and safety pins and mixing plaids in a very “punk, but make it pretty” way. Like you just KNOW those early girls were DIYing their own clothes and now it’s like wow you bought that top at h&m

Honestly, even H&M seems a little mature for them.

100% agree with you tho, tiktok is the one of the reasons I'm surprised they strayed so far from the original clothing style. I mean OG Monster High is a huge hit on there because of the fashion, people who never even owned the dolls or watched any of the media dress up as the characters all the time. When Garrett Sander was creating Monster High, he went out to alt fashion stores (Hot Topic lol) to see what was trendy with teens at the time. You can just kinda tell that that same effort wasn't put in with this new generation.

Obviously not every character had punk or alt fashions senses, but the main thing is you could immediately get a sense of their personalities just by looking at them. When I tell you I have NO idea what Clawdeen's new personality is.

Another aspect of that is if you tried to mix up the original characters clothes it would look wrong because it wouldn't fit their personalities. Clawdeen dressed in Draculaura's clothes and vice versa would look so strange because we know they'd never dress that way. (The Fusion Inspired line is a great example of this actually. The dolls look so wrong because they're not dressing like themselves, they're literally impersonating their friends) The Creepover dolls in particular rely so heavily on colors and patterns to distinguish the characters, because if you look at that line you realize they're essentially wearing the exact same outfit. And they overdo it. A friend pointed out to me that Dead Tired kinda did the same thing

If you boil it down, they're all basically wearing shirts, capri pants, and slippers.

But look at the details!

Clawdeen's shirt is ripped and cropped. Draculaura has puff sleeves, and bows, and ruffles. Lagoona's pants have little slits in the sides for her fins. Cleo's slippers have little golden crowns. Ghoulia's little printed on suspenders and bow tie. Not to mention these look like actual pajama sets! And when they did expand the line they added a lot of variety in what the characters were wearing. In comparison the Creepover dolls just look...generic? Idk, like the designers were just like "Let's put them in pajamas" instead of being like "How would these characters wear pajamas" if that makes sense.

Ugh, this was really rambly, and I apologize, so I'mma cut it here cuz I know I could go on for a while. To summarize I just don't think these new designs have a lot of thought put into their designs or what they're wearing.

[despacitobandito]

alright Skylander OC shit les go

firstly lets start off with our fav bastard (affectionately), Tiphr

(also imma link all Picrews down below for when I'm done)

this lil bastard probably uses tumblr

age is uh around mid 20s, old enough to know better but young enough to not do better

he/she pronouns

intersex as well as genderqueer

lost both his right eye and arm in an accident. he can't get his eye back but he got a wooden arm from Dr. Krankcase

speaking of Dr. Krankcase, he ended up being Tiphr's father (adopted)

the "you're not my real dad" jokes are... frequent to say the least

also from Tiphr's joke department, he'll often say shit like "ah yeah it cost me an arm for this" or if you need help he'll say "need a hand?" and he'll give his entire fucking arm to you

he's a portal master

a headcanon of mine is that all Portal Masters have a "leaning" towards certain elements, which means that those ones are the quickest to control and/or learn. Tiphr's are Life, Tech, Air, and Dark, respectively

he kinda remembers where he was originally from, but most of it is just kinda... lost to time ig

ig since he is from another world, per say, does that make him an alien? the answer is yes

lots of steampunk vibes from this guy, but also with nature. good fun

he likes to call bras "tit jackets." no one knows where he learned it from, no one has been able to get him to stop

his wooden arm makes normal guitars sound like bass guitars

yes he can play guitar

he can be serious when need be, but he does enjoy being a funny source of comedy sometimes

loves plants, is a plant parent (would let moss grow in her room, much to Krankcase's dismay)

uhhhhhhh so here's an Inky boi

his name used to be Inkwash but uh i had to change that

i was in 7th grade when i made him, ooooooof

anyways, this guy is a Dark element

basically, he's an artist. his weapon is ink. oh and he's emo

creativity 100

haha ah well still love my emo wolf boi

listens to whatever the Skylands equivalent of MCR is

probably relates to that one pic of the anime girl where it has two sides and it says "I'm Fine."

godspeed you

has a sad aesthetic tumblr account

actually can kick ass in a fight surprisingly

catchphrase is "A painting of pain!"

my first OC (technically my second but an overpowered shapeshifter self insert doesn't count) which i have changed. a lot

she's a fire/undead element hybrid

catchphrase is "Here kitty kitty!"

has a pair of dragonlike wings (used to have a scorpion tail too but that was too edgy so that got scrapped)

now she just looks like a little charizard with her tail on fire :)

can self-immolate

was originally just a feathercat (like Scratch's race) who was dared to go into the Land of the Undead. she didn't come out the same, though...

was one of the first to be a hybrid element (not counting the SWAP Force but damn what they got going on is unnatural to say the least)

is totally a punk alt girl

likes being petted

you know that one song "go kitty go"? yea she unironically enjoys that

Tiphr makes fun of her for it

also yea Tiphr is besties with Grave

also Grave doesn't mind being called Gravy

so yea that was a long read. i'm not really sure how to conclude me rambling on about my own characters for a game that is kinda dead (not saying the fandom is, godspeed you guys) but yea, hope you enjoyed and here's a link to (almost) all the picrews i used

the other wolf one is from a game on DollDivine called Wolf Maker Unleashed (due to the death of Flash you can't run it on Google anymore but there's tutorials on the website to help you get around this)

[andiwriteordie]

OK HI I’M BACK I HAD TO TABLE THIS WHILE I WAS AT WORK BUT I’M BACK. LONG REPLY AHEAD.

so two different things: 1) i once went insane after rick announced he was gonna drop a new book with the og trio, and i wrote a stranger things/pjo au where mike was percy and will was annabeth. no i don’t think mike’s a poseidon kid or will’s an athena kid. yes i do think they’re so freaking percabeth coded and would write like 100 different snippets again with them in this au. 

2) i’m assuming your questions are related to “what godly parent would everyone be” and i LOVE THIS QUESTION EVEN THOUGH SOME OF THEM (... mostly just el actually) I AM IFFY ON. i answered this like months ago when i wrote a byler fic that was inspired by percabeth’s arc in mark of athena, so i’m gonna. find that and add on to my answers.

El - Ok, tbh, she's probably the hardest of the kids to nail down, so I'm gonna go with the easiest answer and say Jupiter (not Zeus, idk El gives me Roman vibes and I can't explain it) because it lines up most to her powers. Character-wise, I think she's similar to Bianca di Angelo though, so I suppose maybe Hades could be a fun alt if we're ignoring her powers?

Mike and Nancy - Athena. Such Athena know-it-alls, and I love them for it. it’s just like... the wheelers are so smart. i swear if they actually got to interact they would be able to just figure everything out in the show. so basically, Athena made two brain babies with the beautiful Karen Wheeler because who needs Ted anyways.

Will and Jonathan - Apollo. Isn't is obvious? Art? Music? Yeah. Such Apollo kids. Also will and the light imagery with apollo being the god of the sun??? crying forever and ever, alright? Lonnie is the asshole stepfather.

Lucas and Erica - Nike. These two are just the best and radiate such competitive, go-getter energy. Big Nike vibes! alternatively? they also give me such poseidon vibes. lucas in particular feels like the ocean—a bit reckless at times, but then also calm and steady at other times. learns to adapt, but then in turn can also escalate a situation very quickly? something something like that. 

Dustin - Hephaestus, because Dustin's great with science-y/building type of things and is incredibly smart, which gives me Hephaestus vibes. like dustin’s just a little genius. he’d absolutely be a Hephaestus kid. 

Max - Ares/Mars. El needs another Roman camper with her, so let's go with Mars. Max just gives off those "don't fuck with me" vibes obviously, and I think her strength and resilience shown in S4 also gives huge Ares/Mars vibes. Billy is her half-brother on her godly parent's side, except he got all the bad qualities of their dad.

Steve - Hermes, for sure. Part of me wants Hermes!kid Dustin and Steve for the brother moments. something something, maybe dustin ends up in the unclaimed /hermes cabin for a while and steve is the counselor? and they bond that way, and steve is actually just really bummed whenever dustin leaves him? Robin - Apollo probably. She's in band and has that same kind of warmth that I feel like Apollo kids have, ya know? Also, I suppose that makes her half-sibs with the Byers which I fullsend support.

Eddie - Honestly, either an Apollo kid too OR he's some poor mortal who can see through the Mist and gets dragged along by the Fruity Four into this chaos.

Argyle - part of me wants to say Demeter because you cannot tell me the Demeter kids wouldn’t be growing weed. but Argyle ALSO gives me the vibes of a poor mortal that Jonathan picked up and decided to drag on a quest (isn’t that essentially the california plot lol?)

Andi, I need you to know that I deeply admire your work and dedication BUT YOU'VE INFESTED ME MY BRAIN IS ROTTEN. YOU HAVE OPENED THE GATES FOR NEW AUs AND NOW IM PUTTING TOGETHER A DOC FOR PJOGATES AND ALSO TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH ATLAGATES

Love you though 🫂

NICO ILY TOO

okay did i make this up or did you tag me or reply to something asking about my thoughts on PJO? i feel like i saw it while i was scrolling at work for a menty health break, and i was like "OH I'LL RESPOND LATER!" and then. i. forgot to.

because i have so many thoughts on pjo as well. atla/pjo are my two dormant hyperfixations that at any time can be called back into action and can take over my brain (as evidenced by atla gate) so we are in DANGEROUS TERRITORY HERE MY FRIEND

Naruto Characters and What Music I Think They Would Listen To Pt.1

Naruto

-You know those popular boys from school? The emoji tracksuit kids that like dunked on you when you walked through a door?

-Those vibes

-He listens to almost exclusively mainstream rap. It has to be 🔥🔥🔥 ya know? 

-Always talking about the new Drake album or the new Kanye album. LOVES Chance the Rapper and Childish Gambino i just see it in his eyes. 

Sasuke

-This fuckin guy

-See, my knee jerk reaction is like your emo classics. Pierce the Veil, MCR, Linkin Park. Screamo. Metal. 

-But no. We have similar temperaments and I think that kind of music would actually irritate him. 

-I think he’s emo but more mainstream soundcloud rapper emo. Lil Peep, $UICIDEBOY$, Lil Uzi Vert. LOVES XXXTentacion.

-Post screenshots of what he’s listening to on his snapchat story and you just know the boy is going THROUGH it.

Sakura

-OKAY so HERE is your rock and roll/metal baddie!!!

-hear me out. when she’s young its all pop. like y2k pop with R&B leanings. Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, etc. you get the idea

-but after training under Tsundae she picks up rock. starts with some classic rock at first, then slowly progresses. 

-this girl loves Metallica and Black Sabbath. she just loves rock. Zeppelin, AC/DC, Five Finger Death Punch. All of it. I will not be taking any criticism. 

-windows down in the car, headbanging always. 

Kakashi

-this one is a little difficult to nail down

-a part of me just wants to throw him in the pool of doesn't really care and will listen to anything

-i think he’s got a different playlist for every mood

-R&B sexy playlist with the Weeknd and some Justin Timberlake (yes he thinks that's sexy), soft sad boy hours playlist with Post Malone and Russ, a party mix with some your standard frat boy bops.

-overall, he listens to a lot of popular music

Yamato/Tenzou

-another tough one to nail down!!!

-i truly think Yamato is a man of all tastes as well

-however.... i get country music vibes???

-not like new, pop, country. but the classics. Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton.

-he also likes jazz! and big band/swing. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin. What i would refer to as whiskey drinkin music. kinda classy and fun

Sai

-girl

-i truly do not know

-the man is an enigma

-i think once he joins team 7 and kinda strays away from the foundation he’s gonna be all about trying new stuff

-so one day he’s listening to Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran and Ariana Grande. Radio pop, entry level shit

-and the next time you see him its songs he heard on tiktok exclusively

-eventually he’s down a rabbit hole, consuming music in mass quantities and he’s into Crystal Castles and Grimes. Then next week its Tupac and Notorious B.I.G. Then it’s Judas Priest and Guns N Rose. 

-everyone just gives up trying to keep track

Shikamaru

-oh its male manipulator music ALLLL DAY

-tame impala, mac demarco, the front bottoms, arctic monkeys, modern baseball, the smiths

-you get the idea

-dont necessarily think he's the ‘male manipulator’ type but he’s def the edgy smoking cigs and listening for the lyrics type

-i don't have to go into detail here you know I'm right

Ino 

-see, her and Sakura go down similar paths

-she started off with the y2k bubblegum pop phase but her progression is a little more understandable

-shes your typical indie (except they aren't really indie) pop darling. Lana Del Rey, Lorde, Marina and Diamonds, Melanie Martinez, the 1975.

-what I'm saying is she was definitely on tumblr in 2014 and just never moved past that phase (did any of us tbh)

-as time goes on though she starts to branch out a lil. loves the mainstream women of rap! Cardi B, Megan thee Stallion, Nicki Minaj, Doja Cat. constantly bopping

Choji

-i couldn't find any gifs of this cutie smiling and that's a crime i want addressed RIGHT NOW

-but music wise?? i mean he’s a sweetheart right?? genuinely likes pop music! Ed Sheeran, Maroon 5, Katy Perry. HUGE Bruno Mars fan surprisingly 

-i can see him just bopping his head along to the radio, just vibing and not being picky. loves a good ballad. Sam Smith, John Legend.

-hes just having a good time 

Hinata

-queen of yearning and pining

-girl in red, mitski, HOZIER

-i feel like her playlist just looks like someone let a closeted queer girl put it together

-ABBA, St. Vincent, Florence + the Machine

-also just soft pop vibes. she’s defo posting sunset videos with the Lumineer’s playing in the background. HEAVY cottage core inspo

Shino

-here is your true emo king

-the trinity of course. P!ATD, MCR, Fallout Boy

-then Twenty One Pilots, Paramore, GORRILAZ

-he gives me also like art kid vibes as he gets older? Weezer, Wallows, Cage the Elephant. you know the type

Kiba

-kinda smilar to Naruto tbh

-but it HAS to be FIRE. no sad music! bass turned up and LOUD always

-i feel like he even went through a dubstep phase. 

-hes the guy in the mcdonalds drive thru ‘you know what I'm here for’ *blasts Sicko Mode* 

-some stand out faves are Travis Scott, Tyler, the Creator, Kendrick Lamar, Freddie Dredd

-he’s actually pretty cool tbh

Rock Lee

-yall ever been to a football game and they play the same hype songs over and over? ever seen a workout montage in an 80s movie?

-thats this boy. he’s just constantly listening to workout playlists. Eye of the Tiger, Livin’ on a Prayer, Welcome to the Jungle

-outside of that, i would think some of his favorite artists would be things Gai would listen to. Billy Joel, Bon Jovi, the BEASTIE BOYS, Foreigner, Aerosmith

-what I'm trying to say is he listens to the same music ur dad listens to

Neji

-fucking music SNOB

-’you've probably never heard of them’ headass

-and then its like the strokes or vampire weekend or some shit jfc

-male manipulator music part two but 100% fits the stereotype. hes gonna leave you on read and then cry to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. 

-some standout favorites are the Pixies, Neutral Milk Hotel, alt-J.

-likes some other stuff too. The White Stripes, The Black Keys, some Beck.

-decent taste if he wasn't such an a-hole about it!

Tenten

-ya know what

-hyper pop. 100 gecs, Charli XCX, CMten, SOPHIE, Slayyyter, A.G. Cook. 

-i would say she started off kinda like Ino, the 2014 tumblr pop stuff

-then that just got to be too boring. so now she's riding the wave of the super new age stuff. 

-neji fucking HATES it and grumbles all the time about ‘its just noise, how can you stand that’ and it only makes her like it more. 

[sanchoyo]

danny phantom, season 3 episodes 3-6 thoughts!

see prev episode thoughts in this tag <3

-johnny was actually pretty civil with danny and left when he asked! thats nice. also, SKULKER?? HAD A FRAMED PICTURE OF EMBER?? oooo fuck wait had they established they were a Thing Before?? I dont think so. thats weird. its like that country boy/goth girl meme lmfao. I think i am going to choose to ignore this new info and pretend I didnt hear it. 100% unrelated to the jazz/ember fanart I already drew and posted....😳

-LADIES NIGHT EPISODE THIS IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT. wish it didnt really center around the guys or them being pissed at them, but. willing to bet this was written by men lol

-THEY ERASED ALL THE MEN??? meanwhile, jack and danny are fishing at. silent hill or something. im glad jack is trying to read a parenting book and making an Attempt. (theyre at lake erie, but, they made it actually eerie...thats fun)

-the girls alt outfits...cute. EMBER MADE A NEW SONG TOO!!! kinda. jazz being one of the backup singers and being AWFUL. NOOOO

-'how are we going to get kitty to blow a kiss?' 'she'll have to think there are still some males in town!' ...i dont know how to break it to you, but I dont know that a 100% het girl would wish for all men to Begone. I think. I mean im not a het or a girl so I dont really know for sure. she Is probably Bi tho. esp having the other ladies in town chanting NO MEN!!! excitedly............(then again, the kiss is to get Rid of men, so, she probably would have blown it at the ladies only if they were actively trying to attack/stop them, so...I MEAN. THE DRESSING LIKE DANNY BIT WAS SO EXTRA)

-I feel like an all female cast ep couldve been way way way way cooler than that was. like. why was it still somehow all about Men. ...anyway. (where was valerie...)

-next ep opens with the observants, and, way way more of them than I expected...existed? I mean I guess them being a council/jury of some kind is what I expected from their first appearance (bc at that time they were basically TELLING clockwork to kill danny, not asking,, so I figured they had SOME kind of authority) but. there were so many. anyway, here goes vlad! letting his own hubris go brrrr. releasing a weather ghost for political gain! #justvladthings

-okay say what you will about him (he IS an asshole) but having an umbrella with his own face on it and more prepared to share is SUPER FUNNY. and him being fanned by huge wads of money by his bodyguards. SO ineffective but so Dramatic. He UNDERSTANDS that if youre rich you need to be. you know. obnoxious and kinda eccentric about it! fuckign hate when rich people are boring about it. I would trust vlad with nothing except to not be a boring rich asshole who wears...fucking khaki or some shit. man knows his Presentation Skills. and that 'V' chair in his mayoral office. is that fucking embroidered?

-maddie get your MAN PLEEEEASSSE. IM SO EMBARRASSED FOR HER. the way jack stays simping for this man. in FRONT OF HIS WIFE!!!! ...my god its like a love triangle. jack clearly loves vlad, who loves maddie, who loves jack. jack fenton is at the very least bi, right................. this is an OBSESSION . 'THE V MAN COMETH'???? i...my god. (also, on a serious note, to have a friend THIS SUPPORTIVE...and still be SUCH A DICK TO HIM (TRYING TO KILL HIM AND STEAL HIS WIFE??) NOT COOL VLAD. JACK IS YOUR 1 AND /ONLY/ HYPE MAN. if someone loved and supported me THIS HARD...LIKE. CMON DUDE.

-STOMP the fucking GAS, JACK

-this would make a great shirt design, looks like a metal band design! we love The Maelstrom

-oh, so vlad did in fact get a mansion in amity park. and its purple! good color choice! not as flashy as a CASTLE or MURDER CABIN, but still pretty eccentric, which I appreciate.

-...vlad knows the difference between picasso and da vinci? in the ep last post where we were watching him fail at conquering every historical time ever he didnt seem to know history well enough to like. be effective...was vlad taking art history at college?? (was he an art MAJOR??? we never DID KNOW WHAT HE WENT TO SCHOOL FOR. I kinda assumed business because in the masters of time ep he was still rich without ghost powers so he had to have..known something about business or something, right...but also, art and or theater FITS HIS PERSONALITY. possibly also something science-y, I guess, but I always felt like he got roped into that, esp how pessimistic he was about the ghost portal in the flashbacks to college, like, i felt like he was just there for maddie and was uninterested/un-invested at the time...)

-THIS GHOST JUST ELECTROCUTED MADDIE (THE CAT) BITCH!! THATS MY FAVORITE MADDIE!!! vlad going after vortex and being ~shocked~ .....WHEN. WHEN WILL YOU LEARN. THAT YOUR ACTIONS. HAVE CONSEQUENCES!!!

-the way this random man with a camera sees the mayor laying in an alley covered in TRASH AND DECIDES TO TAKE A PICTURE HAHAH

*snap* this ones going in my cringe compilation!

-vlad 'if we're going to defeat vortex, we're going to have to do it together!' *immediately dips after dropping danny off in front of vortex* JKASDFHKJHJKN

-DANNY CAN DUPLICATE!!! ...he couldnt even attack with it, but he DID IT!!! INTO (4) OF HIMSELF!!! SO PROUD!!!!!!!!!!

-'THE ROLLER COASTER EMOTIONS OF A TEENAGER THREATEN MY PLANS!' ...0 self awareness of his own dramatic moodiness. incredible, how dumb this man is. its very close to circling around to endearing, if he was less of an asshole. at least its very very funny to see danny shooting him with tiny lightning bolts anytime he's even slightly irritated! vlad you should be nice to danny anyway. this is what you GET

-...making sandwiches and ice cream and playing video games with your nephew is a totally normal thing. WHY is vlad acting like this is the end of the world. if you were a GOOD UNCLE YOU WOULD ALREADY BE DOING THESE THINGS!!! bitch I make my nephew food all the time and dont forget what he does and doesnt like. if u didnt know danny didnt want tomatoes, thats on u. if u, a grown adult, are gonna piss of the 14 yr old by not letting him win, u deserve to have to pay for the arcade machines he ruins because he now has uncontrollable storm powers because YOU THREW HIM INTO A FIGHT WITH THE STORM GHOST. fuck u vlad. paypal me $400,000 while ur at it tho. (also, gamer vlad confirmed)

-VLAD CAN COOK THOUGH???! I assumed he had...people working for him that did that. I mean. billionaires usually dont do that. then again, we've only seen those vultures working for him (and I guess the dairy king was AT his old mansion, but it was never really clarified if he worked there...I think he probably just Hung Out and they Enjoyed Cheeses Together. thats what I think, I dont think a KING would be working for anyone and also the dairy king was nice <3) but then again he would be a private person and we cant have anyone accidentally finding Ghostly Things, so...still, that's hilarious. pour one out for that really cute banana split that got ruined 2 seconds later

-vlad just fucking picking danny up and THROWING HIM AT VORTEX TWICE WITHIN LIKE A MINUTE. JUST ABSOLUTELY LAUNCHING HIM. BITCH THATS MY SON BE CAREFUL!!! HES GOT ORGANS AND THINGS!!!!

-danny seeing those animal commercials and feeling sad is the biggest 2000s throwback so far. i legitimately had to change the channel or walk out of the room when those came on bc id CRY AND BE SAD ABOUT THEM FOR DAYS AFTER. fuck those commercials and fuck that IN THE ARMMMS OF AN ANGELLLL song 😭

-'vlads ego almost got the town destroyed!' yes danny thats the entire episode. the entire series anytime vlad shows up honestly. this episode was just him being really embarrassing the entire time, and, me laughing about it. 10/10 would laugh at him again

-NEXT EP WE HAVE A SHAPESHIFTING GHOST?? I've said it before but shapeshifting is the power I would want when asked those 'what superpower do you want' questions...its the Best power! this guy looks like a homestuck character. ive never read homestuck but thats the vibe

-I love every time we see tuckers family, they are by far the most functional family. and dash has a lil chihuahua!!! named pookie!!! i am crying (I've had 3 chihuahuas, so I am very biased, but...) AND HE WATCHES THE ROMANCE CHANNEL WITH POOKIE. POOKIE I WILL DIE FOR YOU YOU SWEET LITTLE BABY.

-danny can lift a bus! I shouldn't be surprised, but i am proud of my son. hes got lil kid fans. i am going to cry about this

-JAZZ KEEPS A SCRAPBOOK WITH DANNY'S LIL HEROICS AND NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS!!! we've actually seen it on her floor before, but I didnt realize it was a scrapbook!! thats sooo cute.

-...and danny has to stand there listening to his parents saying danny phantom sucks and is a 'filthy ghost' and calling him egotistical...i am once again stealing their kids!

-THIS GHOST RIPPING JAZZ'S SCRAPBOOK!!! ILL KILL YOU. SHE WORKED HARD ON THAT!!! BITCH

-yes, maddie, the one with red eyes is For Sure Actually Your Son. ignore the, red eyes... (CLEARLY she hasnt watched the other 2 eps where danny has been evil, she doesnt know red eyes= evil!!!)

-'billy fenton'.......................

-danny being stuck as phantom in his own house, no way out is a fucking NIGHTMARE. his parents pointing giant weapons against him and SHOOTING AT HIM. THIS IS A HORROR MOVIE.

-NINE INCH NAILS POSTER.

-this is the most screenshot of all time

-amorpho turning into mr. lancer because hes 'someone no one will want to be around' BUT HES WRONG, I WOULD BEFRIEND AND HANG OUT WITH MR LANCER SO FAST.

-tucker dressing as danny, now I have the full Tucker set of him being sam and also being danny. also saying 'the ghost...uh...RIPPED MY FACE OFF.' and then running. SMOOTH. NOT AT ALL CONCERNING TO ANY PARENTS.

-sam accepts the toast from jack. and then 2 seconds later is like 'why am i eating this.' THIS SHOWS HUMOR IS SO UNEXPECTED SOMETIMES ITS REALLY GOOD. and then the scene after, mr lancer running into his ghost doppelganger and being like 'YOURE GORGOUS' THEN FAINTING. I AM CRYING. AND DASH FAINTING TOO.

-sam disguising herself as danny again to help tucker run from the fentons. but leaving him shirtless in the streets. incredible. 'plEASE DOnt NOTice MY FACELessNESS I MUST LIVE IN EXILE' this episode is destroying me the humor in this show is exactly my brand of corny and cheesy

-the impromtu story made up by danny and amorpho to explain stuff to the fentons. my god they are both such bad liars. but amorpho is a good egg. wish danny wouldnt have said he didnt wanna see him in town again!! I want him to be reoccurring. not that thats gonna matter since I'm almost done with the series, but the idea of this being the Only Time We See him is :(

-NEXT EP SAYS STARRING MARK HAMILL??????!!! hello ! mr . joker....mr. star wars.... I feel like I should be. idk. taking off a hat im not wearing in respect. I shouldnt be surprised tho bc hes in a lot of cartoons as a very good voice actor, and dp has already had a lot of talented ones so I've been looking out for ones I might know, but....mr. hamill....

-sam has her own greenhouse, names all the plants, and says thank you to them (in the languages from where the plants are from) whenever she harvests from them. thats SO cute. and her lil gothy lunch box...

-and danny's lil red fuzzy lined jacket!!! ive said it before but every time the characters get alt outfits im like :D

-danny has ice powers now!!! THATS WHAT FROSTBITE MEANT. HE KNEW SOMEHOW WAY BACK THEN

-THIS SHOW NEVER LETS YOU FORGET VLAD IS A BILLIONAIRE, HUH.

-danny's lil 'holy hibiscus!' first off the 50s batman swearing is hilarious. 2nd. my username is from the flower sanchoyo hibiscus, so, shoutout to ME this ep. hi :)

-EURGH UNDERGROWTH MAKING EVERYONE PLANT ZOMBIES. HIVEMIND PLOTS SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF ME. and this dude made the city SO overtaken so quickly like how long was danny asleep?? oh god

-evil fucked up sam! now the whole trio has gone evil at some point! the voice actress did a really, really good job with making her sound like a zombie...

-frostbite's paws are so so so big compared to danny. oh my god. i want to hug the snow dog...

-the far frozen has an advanced medical stuff!!! very cool. very smart snow dogs

-im so glad danny has a friendly ghost snow dad to explain this new power and teach him!!! this is so sweet. DANNY'S GHOST SENSE WAS A PART OF HIS ICE POWER?? OOOH. COOL. we love a training montage!!!

-danny saying if he cant defeat overgrowth, that he'd want to stay with frostbite...oh my god...do you think this is the first real supportive adult figure in his life (I am NOT counting his parents because they threaten him on the daily even if they dont realize it.) I mean mr lancer is a Teacher, but he was also nice but this is different, but this is a GHOST WHO IS WILLING TO HELP HIM with his powers and also will help him when hes injured and is so so nice and comparatively so much more mature than 90% of the adults in this show!!!! god. dad frostbite is my everything.

-the framing and lighting this episode, and all the angles...they went all OUT and it looks really really good. this is my nightmare scenario, tho. like, FUCK zombies and dead city zones and hivemind shit. and using the humans as 'nutrients for the children' i am going to THROW UP.

-MALEFICENT VIBES WITH THE HORNS AND GREEN EYES! this costume kicks so much ass. sam is now mark hamills daughter, I guess.

-danny's ice powers making his eyes blue!!! thats neat. and him going for the roots underground was SO SMART. i will not stand for danny ever thinking hes stupid, hes SO smart.

almost done with the show... :"( thats a sad thought!!!

Hello I was wondering if I could get a male and marvel ship ^^

My name is Emma my pronouns are she/her I am 19 I have shoulder length black hair and grey blue eyes. I pretty much look like mavis from hotel Transylvania, I am on the thicker side I got dem I’m like not skinny but I’m not plus size I’m just kinda mehhh I am also 5’8

I would say my aesthetic is like alt or dark academia

I am a Scorpio sun, Scorpio rising and a Aries moon. My love language is probably fiscal touch but I also don’t like being touched (ironic ain’t it) (if you get that reference I love you)

I am super stubborn. Im also SUPERRR sarcastic, like every thing I say is sarcastic in someway. I have low key anger issues. But like I’m also super chill and like go with the flow. I play a shit load of video games mainly animal crossing and Minecraft. I also ramble a LOT about stuff I really like, Greek mythology (it’s my favorite thing in the Entire world to talk about) and tinker bell lore (ITS VERY EXTENSIVE) and many other things. I also make a ton of like super stupid puns like dad jokes. And a LOTTTT of sex jokes.

I am actually from Russia but I am fluent in English because both of my parents are also fluent in English and I have live in America for most of my life. I am fluent in Russian (obviously) Spanish and French. I can play the bass, guitar, ukulele, drums, and piano. I am also trained in like swords...? Idk how to say it lmao but I can do a bunch of cool tricks ik I’m ✨talented✨ (I swear I’m not a narcissist and his is a joke)

I’m so sorry I told you like my whole life story. And sorry if some of it doesn’t make sense I did not proofread this.

Once again sorry this is so long I got carried away

No, the more detail the better!

I ship you with...

Bucky Barnes!!

- the ship of the century (get it? cause he's like 100 years old)

- I have a hc that Bucky mostly goes for thick women so YES he is very attracted to you

- I feel like this couple would be such a vibe

- He'd roll his eyes at your dad jokes but secretly love them

- Also you going on tangents about things that you love is his favorite thing in the world

- He just loves seeing you so happy and passionate about something

- And he will definitely try to learn about those things just so he can follow along with what you're saying and talk to you about it

- You try to teach him ukulele but he's too strong and ends up breaking the strings :/

- You soothe him from his nightmares in Russian because that language has been weaponized against him for so long and you want to replace it with happy memories 🥺
