#she very obviously isn‘t

[things-keeping-me-up-at-night]

Reposting this right now for no particular reason

It’s dangerous posting this right now, but it just baffles me how people are now attacking BJ Novak, a real person, for a show that he has no involvement in over a ship that was obviously bound to happen anyways. Like, I knew a portion (not all obviously) of D*xton shippers in NHIE were not exactly known for emotional maturity or logical thinking, but this is just ridiculous.

I mean, I‘ve been petty over ships before (I am still not over how they massacred Cordueva in Jane The Virgin, and I‘ve been complaining a week ago about how much I hate Nick and Meredith‘s relationship in Grey‘s Anatomy), but this is just ridiculous and incredibly invasive and disrespectful.

I don‘t really support messaging celebrities about their personal lives in general (though I am obviously fully on board with discussing those online), but how delusional do you have to be to write multiple comments asking a creator of a show to „heal“ and „move on“ from a personal relationship just because you feel entitled to have what you assumed was the main ship in a FICTIONAL SHOW as endgame.

(Also, I will never get how they did not see this coming or how people can complain about the writing not making any sense- have we been watching the same show? Regardless, I obviously don‘t mean all D*xton shippers, but seriously: get your acts together. If you‘re this hellbound on seeing the main girl end up with the popular boy she had a crush on, there are about 27495013 other teen shows and movies you can watch, and if you like NHIE for its humour, friendships, family dynamics etc., well, keep watching the show for those reasons.)

Mindy Kaling doesn‘t owe you anything. (But, since I am a hypocrite, message me privately if you want to go off about Shonda Rhimes.)

Okay i get the Howl‘s moving castle hype now. That’s an amazing movie

[incorrectfatui]

I‘m bored, so have some more Harbinger headcanons. This time about languages they speak because i like languages

also I wont write „French“ or „German“ or smth because most of the regions are influenced by multiple countries and I dont wanna accidentally upset anyone - also lets assume they all speak the common language lol Anyways Pierro: primarily Khaenri‘ahn and Snezhnayan, also very good at Mondstadts language (because it‘s related to Khaenri‘ahn). Speaks a little Fontainiean but not enough to hold entire conversations. Could ask to buy food or for the way to the train, but thats it. Learnt a teeny bit of Inazuman when he went to pick up Scara in Inazuma, but forgot about it. Knows a few ancient languages that the others don‘t, from the books he read as a mage in Khaenri‘ah, but isn‘t fluent in those. Capitano: Speaks Natlanean, Snezhnayan and Sumeran. Understands a little Khaenri‘ahn and Mondstadtian, but isn‘t confident in speaking in those languages. The only one who even slightly understands some of the languages Columbina speaks (more on that later) Dottore: Obviously fluent in Sumeran and Snezhnayan, also nearly fluent in Inazuman (Escher era was very helpful in cultural immersion if you ignore the murder). Speaks a little of all the common languages, but gets REALLY annoyed when anyone corrects a mistake he made in grammar or pronunciation. Very upset that Pierro won‘t teach him to speak Khaenri‘ahn better, even though he really doesn‘t need it (he can read the language just fine). Columbina: weird case. Speaks some languages no one has ever heard of and won‘t elaborate on their origin. Only Capitano understands a few words of those, sometimes Scaramouche if he bothers to try. Otherwise good at Snezhnayan and Natlanean. Can speak more languages if she wanted to, but is honestly happy if people dont understand her. Rarely visits other nations anyways. Arlecchino: fluent in Fontainian and Snezhnayan, never learnt Khaenri‘ahn (much to Pierro‘s dissapointment). Is now learning a bit of it because Pierro insisted, but really doesn‘t care all that much. Picked up a few words in Mondstadtian from Signora. Crucabena: regardless of whether we follow my Remurian Crucabena agenda, I do think she speaks the language- i mean come on, a sunken nation connected to the prophecy of Fontaine, SOMEONE from the Fatui must have investigated it at some point- why not one of the Fontainian Harbingers. Otherwise also speaks Fontainian, because of course, as well as Snezhnayan. I do also think she speaks Sumeran, if only to gossip with Dottore. Very good at learning languages actually, but stopped caring to do so once she realised she could just make Dottore or Scaramouche translate for her. Lazy fuck.

Pulcinella: Snezhnayan and common. that‘s it. Doesn‘t want to learn any other languages. No one can convince him otherwise. he thinks it‘s a waste of time because he‘s already old and will die before knowing another language becomes useful. His words, not mine.

What i don‘t get about zutarians is that they claim to be katara stans but completely ignore how aangs death impacted her which is the reason she hated zuko in the first place. Whether people ship them or not they cant deny that their friendship is very important. Seeing aang die in front of her eyes was probably the most traumatizing moment in her life after her mom‘s death (you could even argue it was even more traumatizing). We saw in „the awakening“ and in the lost adventures that she was constantly by his side. Now the fire nation won the war which also caused them all the stress after (failed invasion and her father getting captured, her learning to bloodbend, getting haunted by combustion man) and they really have the guts to say that she behaved like an ex just because he waited in front of her tent and she crossed his arms when she threatened him. Even their hug after she forgave him isn‘t even close as deep as katara calming aang down in the desert or their hug in the serpents pass.

As the one anon said, the mental gymnastics to pick a scene to act like they liked each other is just insane.

I agree with almost everything you said, expect that Aang's death could have been more traumatizing to Katara than her mom's death.

One happened when she was SO young and represented the death of her right to have a happy, safe childhood. The other happened when she had already dealt with years of trauma. One was a permanent loss, the other ends with her loved one coming back to life.

Obviously Aang's temporary death shook her to her very core, but it's pretty clear which traumatic event was haunting her the most.

So, over the last few days I have seen several posts that were basically „Don‘t do anything weird (aka even vaguely sexual) with Izutsumi, she is a baby UwU and if you put her in any weird (aka even vaguely sexual) situations you are bad and gross and will burn in the eternal flames of hell UwU.“ Which annoys me, for multiple reasons:

First of all, I‘m a big proponent of Ship and let Ship and also don‘t scream at people on the internet that they are horrible for their silly little fics and keeping in mind that fiction is not reality and what people write is not necesarely what they want to do in real life.

Second, Izutsumi is not a baby. She is 17. Not seven. Seventeen. In the world of Dungeon Meshi she is a legal adult. And even in our world she is very much „Mentally prepare yourself for taxes“-age.

Does Izutsumi do things that are generally considered childish? Yeah. She wears a oversized coat. She doesn‘t like to sleep alone. She likes physical touch and cuddles. She is a picky eater. She is quite egocentric. She has a flat chest. She shows no romantic or sexual interest in anyone. She wishes for a parental/maternal figure. This absolutly does not change the fact that she is seventeen. Childish Teens and adults exist (hello, this is partly me self-projecting) and us beeing „childish“ does in no way, shape or form change the fact that we are very much not children. Childish teens and adults and also asexual and/or aromantic teens and adults are not innocent little babies that need to be protected from the „sinfull“ and „dirty“ world and if you would treat me, a aroace „childish“ young adult, like a fucking toddler, I would be very happy to throw all the smut I read and write at you.

Also like the internet is full of people that are around 17 and for which it is not weird at all to be attracted to a seventeen-yearold characters (obviously a lot of people who write about characters/draw them are not attracted to them at all, but we are all still strangers on the internet with rarelly enough infos to judge if a hyptothetical attractment would be weird or okay, whatever those terms mean to you)

And last but not least, Izutsumi also get‘s put in „weird“ situations in the manga, she isn‘t exactly treated like a little baby. Remember when Laios wanted to count her nipples?

[whatiwillsay]

Maybe you answered it before, but what makes you still think Taylor is bi?

Like she obviously distanced herself from the lgbtq community in 1989 TV. She is now dating Travis for a year and became kinda the figurehead of an american heterosexual girl. (And boy you have to be hetero af to be into moustaches) She‘s not romantically connected to any girl at all for 8 years now. Like there isn‘t even any candidate to speculate much. Even her 2 possible relationships you called only a 50/50 chance. And now her very hetero reaction to the scissoring.

Idk man, but at this point i just think she is hetero and doesn‘t know how gay some of her songs can sound and that she stumbled accidentally too far into the „gay community territory“. Rep will 100% the same disappointment that 1989 TV was.

tons of details here:

but if you're not a patron i'll say briefly: I've heard a bunch of stories ab her fucking women(expanded upon in that episode)

and she writes a bunch of gay music and says a bunch of gay stuff. it's enough for me! obvs I'm happy for people to make up their own minds and believe whatever makes the most sense to them. but queer taylor is the only thing that makes sense to me.

bi women are attracted to and date men btw. dating travis doesn't make her not bi.

[beep-beep-robin]

screaming at the idea of a dark academia steddie au (still in the 80s)

- steve being the one that lives in a deteriorating old apartment one winter because his parents cut him off, almost dies from the cold before eddie comes and gets him out of there

- steve being impressed by everything eddie knows bc he‘s used to being around pretentious know-it-alls and eddie isn‘t like that at all

- now listen it isn‘t dark academia without a little murder. sorry not sorry. hear me out - what if billy was in their friend group and they "accidentally" killed him because he‘s an asshole. and eddie gets pulled into it bc he‘s in their course

- said friendgroup obviously contains robin, nancy, steve and now eddie

- steve‘s the one that‘s used to showing off with his material possessions (and girlfriend, aka nancy) because he thinks that‘s all people really want from him, the only people he lets somewhat close being his friends, but only robin truly knows his real self (before eddie comes along)

- for robin i‘m thinking eleanor from do revenge. pretending to be rich so she fits in, but also just fascinated by the actual classes and everything they‘re studying. steve used to help her out with money, that‘s what made his parents cut him off. bonus if she has a huge crush on nancy and she‘s the only one that sees her as an actual person from the beginning whereas the guys just see her as ooh a girl for a while at the start usually (aka camila in tsh)

- jonathan as eddie’s dorm neighbor. he‘s chill and usually has good advice, knows basically everyone on campus but has his own separate group of friends (including argyle)

- nancy as the groups it girl. always dressed to impress, but upset that no one truly wants to get to know her. her and steve are the campus‘ hot couple, everyone knows them, wants to be them. but they have their issues, which come out once eddie‘s in the picture. she likes robin, maybe a little too much.

- eddie as the new student. originally only interested in his studies, because he really doesn’t want anything to distract him - once he’s distracted, it’s over - is immediately intrigued by the group, befriends robin, that‘s his in. get‘s sucked into the whole murder mystery, which forces them all closer. watches steve and nancy‘s relationship crumble, both of them needing support that the other one can‘t give.

- i‘m thinking wild parties in old buildings, dark furniture, secret glances, hungry kisses, denial. oh lord give me the denial. jealousy, rebounds, steve and nancy hooking up again -

- bonus points if eddie lives with steve for a while. and they get closer. steve has nightmares, terrified of the police finding them out, they share a bed? SLOWBURN though. very important

- listen i haven‘t thought about what they‘re studying but if they have a theatre class……. i neED steve to help eddie cover himself in fake blood for a play and just stare for a bit bc oh shit he‘s hot

- nancy gives robin a makeover, robin hates it, but loves spending time with her. robin supports nancy through her downward spiral after the murder and gets her out of it, with the support of eddie and steve.

- think long nights, windowsills, shared cigarettes and deep talks. the terrifying feeling of being known as a murderer to the person you love more than anything mixed with the knowledge that nothing will ever be the same again

[thorin-is-a-cuddler]

A/N: The movie isn‘t even out yet in my country and my Aramis feels return already with a force. I wrote a self-indulgent little sister drabble. No plot, just fluff. Imagine the Aramis you like best. ☺️ (an ordure is a sort of nuisance in human form ^^)

The level of stealth you were currently demonstrating made you wish to congratulate yourself. Up here, on the small balcony none of the musketeers ever seemed to use, you had found a hiding place of uncompared genius. Here, you could point the harmless old musket of your brother at all the heads of the guards who had sent you funny looks throughout the week. It was a very meditative passe-temps. It also saved you from the tasks random musketeers‘ wives tended to give you, simply because you were a woman passing by, a woman who didn‘t seem like she was occupied enough. But no, thank you, you were not entirely interested in stuffing any stinky socks. No no, you had weapons to clean and secret letters to carry around and a brother to tease. Why didn‘t these men stuff their socks themselves?

You were about to fake head-shot a man named Gerard who was telling nasty jokes by the fountain of the corps, when someone suddenly dropped down on the small space remaining next to you, like a lazy cat who‘d happened to find its way over to you. You hit your nose hard on the cold metal of the heavy weapon in your hand and let out a pain struck groan.

„Whatever did Gerard do to you?“ Your brother asked in his most nonchalant of ways, his left elbow meeting your right one as he settled down, mimicking your position. He was holding an apple in his hand.

You spent a moment grieving the peace and quiet and the integrity of your nose, before you retook your aim, glaring at Gerard over the tip of the musket.

„He‘s an ordure.“

Aramis chuckled, taking a noisy bite from the apple, before offering it to you. You wanted to ignore him to keep from messing up your aim, but the rumbling in your stomach betrayed you. You took the apple from Aramis and peeked a glance in his direction. He was already looking at you with that bemused quizzical look in his eyes, the one that was so individually him that it tended to make you emotional. Therefore, you quickly put on an unbothered expression and avoided his eyes.

„Are you enjoying or hiding yourself up here?“ He asked, putting his chin up on his hand.

„Why are these mutually exclusive choices?“ Your sour mood fit perfectly to the taste of the apple he had handed you. „Maybe I’m brooding… Did you give this apple to me because it tastes like it‘s poisoned?“

„Obviously.“ Aramis responded, smirking when you moved to hit his shoulder with your fist. „I‘m afraid I might be doing you a favor with it.“

The slight concern mixing into his voice made your eyes wander back to his face. His eyes were always gentle and bright when they looked upon you. They made you wish to curl up again his chest to be held and rocked and protected for a while. He was probably here to find out if you were in need of any of that.

You simply extended the apple with a raised brow, a daring look on your face, before looking back at the group of musketeers around Gerard. The aim wasn‘t perfect but you did manage to hit the leadspeaker of the nutbrains against the arm.

Aramis quickly covered his mouth with his hand to hide the snort that threatened to break out when Gerard started turning around himself in an infuriated attempt to find his offenser. You had to chuckle at your brother‘s reaction and soon your conjoined mirth got increasingly harder to suppress. Tears were showing in your brother‘s eyes, from the laughter he tried to silence with his palms and you could feel your own cheeks starting to hurt from smiling widely along to his shaking shoulders. All the while a wild Gerard was running in circles like a little chicken, pulling his rapier and wielding it around.

Aramis bent over and hid his smily face at your shoulder, bursting with quiet laughter when Gerard fell over a chair.

Your fingers held him close by his arm and you realized that you were sad and that you missed him and your feelings crashed inside your chest like a wave against a rock. He was the best brother any young woman could wish for. But he was getting more and more involved in politics and it started to feel like the two of you were drifting apart a little. Missed were the nights you‘d spent drinking and laughing with the three of them - your brother and the chosen brothers. You missed making fun of Aramis with Porthos‘ help, missed the way your brother always managed to get Athos to smile when he wanted it the least, missed seeing him scribble poems on napkins by the light of a candle while Porthos advanced as quietly as possible to steal it from him. You missed the easiness of the less politically active days.

After he‘d managed to calm down, Aramis took a deep breath and put his head against yours. It was the weight of hin that made you feel comforted in a way. You listened to him breathe for a while before wrapping your arms around his neck. As if he was surprised but moved by your sudden affectionate impluse, he cooed gently and put his arm over your back to pull you close. But due to your position being slightly inconvenient, he wasn‘t quite able to physically deal with your need for cuddles, which led to him falling on his back and you tumbling right on top of him.

The mixed emotions in your chest made you break out laughing instantly. Grinning, he looked at you, your fists on his stomach and your chin coming down to his chest. He looked entirely too pleased with himself, his hat making his eyes look like little sparkly lights in the shadow it threw over his face. You couldn‘t stop laughing - he wouldn‘t allow it anyway, riling you on with his cheeky smirk - so you threateningly held up your finger in his face. He raised a brow and made you laugh even more with the funny faces he pulled.

„Stop it!!“ You wheezed.

He gasped. „I‘m not even doing anything!“

With a yelp he jolted when you dug your fingers in his sides, but he quickly got a hold of your wrists. Chuckling softly he managed to prevent any further tickle attacks from your part, wrestling with your weak attempts of breaking out of his hold. Your laughter was making you weak - under any other circumstances, you would have obviously won against him.

Eventually you got too weak for wrestling and for laughing and you merely lay down, your cheek on his chest. He was a lovely person so he started rubbing your back which was so calming you could have easily fallen asleep. Instead, you started moving, inching up higher until your head was on his shoulder, his arm holding you close.

„Bonjour,“ he welcomed you, making you smile slightly, „how about you tell your big brother how you‘re doing now?“

You shook your head gently and closed your eyes, feeling the slight breeze of the summer wind on your face and the warm arm of your brother around you.

„Right now, I am perfectly fine.“

You could feel the muscles under your ear tense hesitantly, but he seemed to accept your silence nontheless, for now, indulging you with the quiet of the afternoon, merely broken by a few musketeers‘ voices from the courtyard.

For a few minutes, the politics of France didn‘t play any part in your life. And you could sense that your brother was just as pleased with that as you were.

[r41nc4ndy]

My love for you.

Oliver x Alice

This is just a short FF I thought of while listening to Day 1 by Red Velvet!

Ngl, was originally gonna be more gorey but I wanted to try something fluffy~

DISCLAIMER: Might be OOC!

Also, English isn‘t my first language 🙁.

"Alice..? No way, she’s horrifying!"

"You mean Alice..? I‘m not risking my life! She‘s not even human!"

"What do you mean? She‘s a demon!"

That‘s all he‘d ever hear.

Alice is dangerous, Alice is a monster, Alice is a demon, Alice has no mercy for anyone.

Never ever would anyone dare to utter a nice word about Alice.

For him, it was quite the contrary.

"Oliver? I suppose he can be a troublemaker at times, but he‘s funny otherwise."

"HE‘S VERY HANDSOME!"

"Oliver‘s smart! He never fails school!"

Of course, there were the few that would call him a mean bully, but never more than that, since in their eyes, he was nothing more than just a bully. But that‘s not as extreme as being called a demon.

Even though it all had its reasons.. he wasn’t gonna deny it, Alice was a murderer. Messed up. I mean, she literally kills students to eat them! What‘s not crazy about that?!

But.. he didn’t care about that. He saw her as his love, his girlfriend. He saw a kind princess underneath all that ice cold exterior. So what if she‘s a cannibal murderer? He doesn’t care about small details like that!

He loved seeing her everyday, he loved seeing her face light up as he approached, with it with no gift. He loved waking up and knowing he was gonna see her that day. He loved hearing her melodious voice talk about the little fly she saw today. He loved her.

"YOO HOO!~ ALICEEE!~"

His voice rang out, the name 'Alice' rolling off his tongue smoother than butter on pancakes.

From the shadows, two bright red eyes shone. Ones that are like bright rubies shining in a cave.

"Guess whooo?~"

"Oh, dear. You talk like those princes you told me about."

Alice calmed down as soon as she noticed it was Oliver who called out to her.

She got up from her place, walking over.

"What brings you here this time?“

"Awh, shucks! You already know why!"

Alice cracked a slight smile, her mood brightening up more as she heard Oliver talk.

"To; See your one and only dearie?"

She repeated the words he usually tells her, replacing the 'my' with 'your' so it‘d make a bit more sense to her when she said it.

This made Oliver happy, feeling quite honored that she‘d remember his words.

He always felt happy around her. Don‘t get him wrong, his friends made him happy too, as well as his family! But Alice was a different kind of happiness, in a good way.

"Guess what I brought you?~"

"A leg?"

"Wrong! Even better!"

".. Dearie, I don’t like guessing."

This earned a chuckle from Oliver, who just handed her the box. It smelled rancid, rancid like blood rancid. But Alice didn‘t care about such details.

"Open it!"

Alice opened the box, finding two layers in it. A note, a separator and underneath a pigs heart. How romantic~

Alice was obviously overjoyed by this, she always was when it was Oliver. She happily ate the heart as Oliver invited himself inside and closed the door behind him. He sat down at the usual spot he sat at, with Alice joining him.

He leaned himself against Alice and started talking. About what? Just about anything. Anything his brain could come up with at the moment.

Alice in turn, listened to every word he told her. She loved the way his eyes would light up whenever he talked.

This time, he was talking about some spider movie. Apparently, it’s part of a bigger 'web' of movies he really likes as well. She‘d love to go on a cinema date with him someday..

Just like any other evening, they spent the time together. Talking, laughing, sharing those quiet moments, she loved it. She’d never trade these moments for anything.

She would never admit this, but..

Oliver was the melody missing from her lyrics.

[dhs-in-distress]

Been thinking about the silly goofy AU (aka the „Trailbreaker lives and everything is (relatively speaking) gucci“ AU) and,, uuh, this:

So in the normal setting I made Scatters a pretty good fighter since he‘s a five million year old war vet who‘s been quite literally fighting to survive even after the war, obviously he‘d be good at combat. But because he‘s such an asshole and mental wreck it all balances out in the end. Can‘t have a completely op OC after all, they either gotta struggle with external problems ((metaphorical) road blocks, combat or interpersonal conflicts for example) or internal ones (identity, grief, worldview,,,,, VULNERABILITY PROBLEMS,, etc etc), otherwise I‘d get bored writing their journey. (Except if it‘s supposed to be slice of life, but this isn‘t slice of life, it‘s TFA, so MOVING ON)

BuT. In this AU both him and Trailbreaker (and Jailbreak) are (for the most part, still war vets after all) relatively well adjusted mentally speaking. They all still have their struggles and flaws obviously, but it‘s nothing as debilitating as „consumed by grief“, „identity crisis“ and „literally fucking dead“. So BASICALLY what I’m getting at is while in the „normal version“ the primary conflicts/arcs/developments/JOURNEYS of Scatters and Jailbreak are focused on internal struggles and therefor don‘t have the combat they‘re so good at in focus anyway but that just isn’t the case in the AU.

To be fair in this AU they‘re just supposed to be silly side characters to the main plot (like I originally PLANNED before I got LAZY WITH DESIGNING TRAILBREAKER AND FUCKING KILLED HIM WHY DID I DO THAT WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME AAAAAAAAAA-) and don‘t really need these kinds of strong arcs to begin with,, I still want them to be balanced and not completely op though so I should finally get to the damn point of this post god damn it-

SO. What I originally came here to say I wouldn‘t forget: Since Trailbreaker has the force field ability and made up a whole lie about how he could explode people‘s brain‘s with that ability that one time in the IDW comics I thought it‘d be funny to actually make him be able to do that. This would obviously make him way too op, because if he has the precision to make a tiny force field around a brain and then shrink it until the brain exploded it would mean that he can do just about anything with his force fields. Instead of just making him less powerful in his skills like a normal person I thought: „wouldn‘t it be funny if Trailbreaker used to be a trainer for Elite Guard recruits (until he found out that the military is fucking evil and left, officials say he was exiled lol) and was rumoured to be this super powerful guy who might as well be able to explode you with your mind, but when him and Scatters turn up in Detroit Bee and Bulkhead (who both knew about the rumours and very much wanted to see all the crazy shit he could do) find out that he‘s since become a complete pacifist, refusing to even spar with them“. So that‘s that. I can physically hear Bee say „Omg why are you so uncool irl?? I wanted to see you explode Blitzbrain with your mind!!“.

As for Scatters… he doesn‘t kill, but only his boyfriend can stop him from trying to seriously fuck up Sentinel. In general he also has a very „fight first, think later (or not at all)“ approach to combat, which works just fine against opponents his own size or slightly bigger, he can handle Prowl or even Optimus just fine with reflexes and muscle memory alone, Decepticons on the other hand… It might be for the best that Trailbreaker usually pulls him away when he notices that Scatters is about to try and climb on top of someone covered from head to toe in bombs.

Jailbreak is too busy trying and failing to rizz up Blitzwing and subsequently arguing with Lugnut to even really pay attention to the fight, also it‘s not like she dislikes team prime at all… Needless to say she does pretty bad, but ditches the ‘cons soon enough and does much better fighting against Blitzwing and Lugnut rather than with them. I do feel like these two would be a nightmare for any ADHD person though, not just her.

I should‘ve started the post with „in this essay I will-“ cause writing this sure felt like an essay, it‘s been a fucken hour I‘m going to bed good night everypony-

[neighbours-kid]

sterling doesn‘t know. at the end of 515 he doesn‘t know that nate and sophie retire

he catches on to the con early, much earlier than we‘re explicitly told. when nate shoves him and turns him around so eliot, hardison and parker can enter the server room unseen, sterling gives nate a look, and he knows. he lets it happen, let‘s nate win this one time. he lets nate have the one big score

when they go down to the garage to hand nate over to his lifelong sentence in a secret prison, sterling asks him i don‘t suppose you‘re done and nate just goes what do you think? and then sterling asks about his acting skills and they talk about sophie

he knows sophie is picking nate up. sterling lets them go. he accepts his role as trojan horse when nate pushes him and lets it all play out. nathan, you and i are not the same, we don‘t believe in the same things. and yet. he lets them go. because in the end, justice is always easy

but he doesn‘t—sterling doesn‘t know. despite knowing nate for the longest time, or maybe because he‘s known nate for the longest time, he does not even remotely consider the possibility that nate might ever retire. it‘s just,,,, ridiculous to even consider. nathan ford, the nathan ford? retiring? psshhh never

so sterling goes on. does the work, plays Mr Agent Man at interpol and tries to not think too hard about what letting nate and sophie go means. what it says about him that, this once, he chose their side. that, after all, justice is always easy, and nate is always right, in the end. he packs that away, deep down, better not examine that one, better not think too hard about it

sterling does the work. climbs the metaphorical corporate ladder in the firm as he‘s always done

and then, like it always does, his senses start tingling. works his current case and Something is making him pay more attention. a familiar name maybe, or a routing number he thinks he might‘ve seen before. or maybe it‘s just,,, A Vibe that this particular case has. so he does the job, investigates, does what he‘s good at, excellent at

and a blurry security photograph, eleven espressos and a redacted number of scotches later, he‘s sure. and maybe despite himself, he spreads out the file and smiles. there it is again, finally. took him long enough

so sterling makes the call, files the plans, gathers the agents, gives the briefing, and off they go

but. they‘re not there. not them. sterling arrives at the scene of the crime con and it‘s just three. he shows up, having mentally rehearsed his entrance and the perfect delivery of the hello, nate, and he‘s just,,,, not there. there‘s eliot, glaring at him while finishing off a goon, ready to drop him and put all his angry attention on sterling. there‘s hardison, sticking his head out the van, glaring too. clearly still not forgetting or forgiving about the offices. and there‘s parker, obviously dressed like she played the part of the roper and exuding a confidence after a heist well planned and executed he‘s so far only seen on one face before. so sterling simply stops dead in his tracks

no. that‘s just,,,, wrong. and he‘s disappointed, almost. and very tired all of a sudden. and before eliot is even halfway across the lot, he just turns around and walks away. this is not what he signed up for. where‘s the fun in hunting these thieves if neither nate nor sophie are there to be prickled by his presence. fuck that. fuck the job

and so sterling retires. if nate ford can retire from being a fucking con artist then he can retire from interpol. and so he does. spends some time with olivia. takes a trip that isn‘t work related for the first time in ages. and by the gods he is bored out of his skull. and one day olivia tells him if he doesn‘t find something to do, she‘ll sign him up for some random ass activity for retirees (he‘s not that old, olivia, sweetheart, please)

and late one night over a glass of scotch he‘s mindlessly zapping through the channels on the tv. until he stops suddenly on a rerun of old magnum pi episodes. he used to be obsessed with this when he was younger. and nate teased him about it endlessly

now there‘s an idea

and so he pulls up some pages on his computer and the next day tells olivia he‘s got a new job, he‘ll be back for dinner, he‘s gonna go look at some office spaces downtown

[idontliketomatoesleavemealone]

In your thing, which parents on the Isle are actually half decent parents? Anastasia Tremaine, I know, and Fleur (while she was alive). Who else?

Well, obviously the ones you already said.

Then Dr. Facilier, who, by Auradon Standards, would be seen as borderline neglective towards Freddie, is a good parent by Isle standard, and for Celia, he‘s an awesome dad in general.

Murphy‘s dad wasn‘t bad, he just really didn‘t know stuff about kids, so Murphy had alcohol from when he was three or so.

Yzma is a good parent - to Yzla, that is. she‘s definitely beaten Zevon hard enough to break bones before.

Brock Thunderstrike, Stalyan, and Lady Caine (tangled the series) are pretty good too.

Hades can be a bit ignorant sometimes, but ultimately he loves his son and tells him so.

Shan Yu is not only taking care very well of his girls, he‘s also murdering his enemies and taking their kids in! also, he looks after Jay.

The Bimbettes are rather decent, too, they just can‘t speak up to Gaston.

The Smees are amazing - well, except for Mollie being dead of course.

Helga Sinclair does make her kids fend for themselves, but she‘s totally ready to murder someone to protect them when times get difficult.

The Ringmaster is a good dad, though he might need to learn that letting his eight year old play with a Jaguar isn‘t a good idea.

Ernesto de la Cruz passes as alright, since he does take care of Emma sometimes.

So, like, 1/5 parents fulfill the minimum requirements as parents.

Behold, tourmaline! (Any pronouns except for he/him)

she‘s the manifestation of my subconscious!

She‘s also blind, and mostly nonverbal. She prefers to speak in very short sentences.

She often gets kinda confused when she feels a shape or smth which she isn‘t used to, which is what led to that time when i was walking home with thigh highs on for the first time and kept getting confused about them going up so high lol.

Tourmaline has also basically been adopted by hana. She found tourmaline when she was taking a walk through the hallway with emr, ennyb and enver, where tourmaline was trying to figure out wtf this weird four-legged thing is (it was a chair).

Ever since then she‘s been living with hana and her children!

Oh btw her hair is made of a slimy liquid which she can change the shape of at will, which she often uses to communicate what she means better when she‘s trying to explain an object which she hasn‘t felt before.

(she also wears thigh highs. because funni.)

here's the angy lil rat bastard man himself, la nobinia! (he/him)

he's the manifestation of my masculinity, but he basically constantly tries to kill me. this is bc i constantly pushed him away because i wanted to be feminine, not masculine, and he developed an extreme hatred for me.

he used to be great friends with tourmaline for a short while, but he started associating her with me and left her to make sure he doesn't hurt her.

he also can't really die. as long as i remember him, he will always revive when he gets killed.

also, all of my manifestation ocs kinda have like. a future form of sorts, bc i grow as a person, and therefore my manifestations should too.

what is la's future form? well..

this is eliana esavi! (pronounced: elliana essavi, she/her) she is the manifestation of my femininity!

at some point in the future (more specifically when i start hrt) la finds a way to make all the manifestations enter a comatose-like state by taking nigh full control of my psyche, which meant he could now kill me with no real issues whatsoever (since the manifestations before always got in the way).

he starts mercilessly attacking me, until he is stopped by reduatda.

reduatda is completely unaffected by the whole comatose-thing, as she isn't part of my memory.

and she also possesses the ability to make me forget things she deems to be harmful, which she obviously starts doing with la (she does this by playing what she calls "the solo of the end" with her violin).

after almost making me forget about him, i however stop her, since the reason why he's doing any of this is my fault, and therefore killing him is quite unfair.

at around this time, hana also began to wake up, and when she realized what was going on, she tried to see if there was a way to manipulate la's strings in a way that makes him no longer be the manifestation of my masculinity, but it's no use as he doesn't seem to have strings.

even hana and la start joining in on trying to convince me to kill him, but right as im about to agree, crimhexa comes in.

he yelled extremely loudly at them to stop, but he didn't completely recover from the comatose thing so he had to rest for a bit after that. thankfully the others were smart enough to let the guy who literally knows the most things about everything out of all of them rest until he could explain.

he explains to them how la nobinia does actually have strings, he's just made up of them. they work like normal strings besides that, but narrators aren't able to manipulate them in this state. only a being of reality can, and, well, im obviously the only being of reality currently with them, so im the only one who can do anything.

string manipulation ain't exactly my forte tho, so i mess up quite a bit and accidentally erase most of la's eliana's memory.

after they all recover from this whole ordeal, and eliana is introduced to everyone else, they all decide to head back home, and eliana comes with noelle merianda.

eliana doesn't really like only being able to consistently be with one of the manifestations, so the manifestations decide to open up portals that lead to the universes of the other manifestations. kinda like an interuniversal house lol :3

no oc fun fact today bc i have some new ocs to show you! (will only be able to show you those after you answer this ask bc you appear to not allow pictures to be included in asks lol)

I didn’t know that was even a thing but GOD please

Some thoughts on Ursa and Azula

I don‘t know if this is a hot take but I personally really like the idea that Ursa never loved Azula. I think it‘s way more interesting than Ursa loving both her kids equally and Ozai just doing a better job brainwashing Azula. Because well, sometimes, for whatever reason parents -including mothers- can‘t build a connection to their kids, even when they are very little and haven‘t done anything wrong.

Which isn‘t really something that‘s talked about a lot and if it appears in fiction, pretty much only for really shitty villains. I personally like the idea that Ursa tried to connect with Azula and always made sure that she was fed and clothed and clean, but obviously tiny Azula still realized -even if it was just subconciously- that her mother didn‘t love her but loved Zuko and probally spent a lot more time and effort on Zuko. While Azula was just kind of sitting in the corner, probally mostly left to herself. Which made it a lot easier for Ozai to brainwash her. Azula had her basic physical needs met, I don‘t think Ursa would let her go hungry or something like that, but not the love and emotional attention kids really need.

I should really turn that into a fic…

Me as vampire in Twilight <3

Oh boy I‘ve always wanted to see what kinda aesthetic I would have in Twilight. So I‘m making myself a little thingy thangy for my „Y/N“😭

Basic information:

Name: Roxanne Juliet Wittelsbach/Cullen

Nickname: Roxy (everyone), R.J (Emmett), Sucker (Jacob), Jewel (Esme and Carlisle), Juliet (Jasper), RoRo (Alice)

Age when thurned: 19 (1679)

Born: 1660

Reason of turning/dying: Plague

Aesthetic before turning:

Aesthetic after turning:

Her appearance:

She has black, wavy hair that reaches her waist

She‘s also seen wearing her hair in a high ponytail

Her eyes were dark brown as human, reddish/dark pink as a newborn, golden/yellow as vampire and black when thirsty.

She‘s 5‘6 tall.

Her skin is very pale (just as the other cullens).

She still has a little scar on her knee from the day she fell off her horse.

Personality:

She‘s a very confusing one. Sometimes you can‘t foresee what she‘s gonna do next. Wherever she is, there‘s also chaos. Rox is pretty much both, a lady and a freak - at least when it comes to fighting lmao.

Carlisle does get worried about her since she doesn‘t always follow the „household“ rules, means she sometimes goes hunting for human blood and that‘s where she‘s really good at.

However she is a very joyful and loving being who loves to be creative and help her siblings out (unless it‘s a stupid reason).

There‘s often episodes of her tRaGic background story, no just kidding. She often has nightmares about the time she got thrown onto the mountain of sick people. Seeing people die like that, was quite traumatising to her.

Skills:

She enjoys riding horses, hunting, expressing her creativity, shopping - especially with Alice, tarot reading and dancing.

Habits:

To control her thirst, she carries a bunch of lollipops in her bags and pockets - it‘s life saving.

She‘s daydreaming quite often

Friendships/Relationships:

Carlisle and Esme were her first two to ever find her under a bridge, that‘s how she got to the Cullen clan.

She‘s getting along very well with her adoptive siblings, especially with Emmett and Alice. Em is something like her real big brother who constantly keeps an eye on her.

Also she‘s very thankful to have Jasper who teaches her how to control herself, despite him having some troubles with it himself, though he‘s doing his best. And that‘s what makes him a good role model. Once the black haired girl even confessed her little crush on him, but he rejected her as kind as possible, because obviously he loved Alice. She accepted, even though it still hurts her.

Rosalie is a little thorn in her eye but there‘s always that one sibling who causes trouble, right? After an argument she‘d ask the blonde if she‘d like to go shopping lmao.

Edward is pretty much the only one who has a normal relationship with her. They‘re awkward sometimes but Ed is the one brother who sits down and helps her study, explains alot about living with humans, etc.

Roxanne isn‘t- ..hasn’t been the greates Bella fan. BUT the day she beat Emmet in arm wrestling was absolutely everything. She even calls Bella „Mom“ as a joke.

Jacob..oh boy. The first time she despised dogs. They have a very tough time together. That‘s the reason why Emmett is always near her. They can‘t stand each other but from time to time, there would be VERY weird tension between them, even if it‘s just staring at each other in disgust from miles away.

Quotes:

„I‘m not searching, I find.“

„I try to follow rules, but I‘m better at breaking them“

„I‘ll make it look like an accident.“

„What‘s the prob? Dog.“

„I need a houndred dreamcatchers in my room because of you.“

„The cards never lie.“

Imagine Dot asking Fatin why she isn‘t going for Kirin because he‘s obviously the type of guy she would have sex with and never talk to again… and Fatin trying to joke but being all shy and side eyeing Leah who‘s doing Leah things a couple of feet away. That‘s when Dot knows.

LMAO imagine Fatin telling Dot she can't sleep with Kirin because she'll have to keep seeing him every day until they get out, and Leah just looks very amused, because Fatin's still facing her every morning. Honestly I can't wait to see Dot's reaction to finding out about Fatin's feelings for Leah. You know she's gonna make fun of Fatin but, like, in a sweet way.
