#silly kids with silly abilities

[just-call-mefr1es]

damn i love book series written by a guy with R.R initials about a boy under the age of 18 with inhuman abilities trying to survive and finish wars along with his friends and builds a community along the way while also falling inlove with his companion

edit: and i forgot to add that they both have terrible movie adaptations

(i didnt watch the percy jackson movies, but ive heard from friends that are big fans say theyre bad)

Don't know why people are still having kids when caring for an age regressor is literally right there

Bio kids:

❌ Throw up for absolutely no reason

❌ Grow out of the things you buy them

❌ Can't eat honey or drink water for the first like year or something??

❌ Don't stay small forever and actually grow into adults.

❌ If you don't buy the special expensive furniture they can literally die??

Age regressors:

✅ Stay cute literally forever

✅ Won't outgrow for the furniture and toys you buy them (and will take much longer with clothes than bio kids)

✅ One day you can have a baby, another a big kid. Variety is the spice of life!

✅ Buy the big furniture or don't or make it yourself it literally doesn't matter.

Guys call me crazy but I think the crazy robots would get along swimmingly. The tragic fact that these two don’t have more art interacting is an offense in my rule book and I have come to remedy that. They say you must manifest what you want to see in the world and this is me doing that jskjsksp. I will take initiative! Enjoy a smidgen of Mr. Puzzles and Mettaton art then. Although I think the only reason they initially decided to co-host collaborate together here was the prospect of getting more stars/ratings- because that’s show business babyyyy leverage off of famous people for viewssss/j

Also here is version without the speech/dialogue bubbles! Just two gay bots being fabulous and gossiping or something (platonically. Or you could lean into this being a ship I don’t really care lol). Maybe they’ll exchange some advice about the logistics of incorporating musical numbers in the boardcasts without losing too much revenue on the budget idk. Because if you think about it Mettaton did a musical number in a dress with Frisk and then Mr. Puzzles had his whole Creative Control moment. And both where marvelous performances by the way absolutely slay ✨

My “toxic trait” is supporting the theatrical livelihoods of fictional computers who have committed atrocities, and they both will probably never make an apology video for the attempted murders and trauma inflicting. Wow so girlboss of them :))

I am way too tired/jetlagged to make this post right now, but the reason Armada Starscream is so specifically well done to me actually isn't just the way he's got more depth than just wanting to take over Megatron. It's the way he falls back on this image he has of himself as someone who is solely focused on Megatron. And he is obsessed with Megatron, but the disconnect between Starscream and his image of himself is what gives him actual depth.

The reason this is so cool to me is like, that self-image--that he is single-mindedly obsessed with Megatron and will sacrifice everything else for that goal, no matter who gets hurt--is pretty close to what every other Starscream is. (The selfishness you associate with Starscream is a little more subtle, but it's there in the "no matter who gets hurt" clause imo.)

So if you go into this as a Transformers fan, you're already expecting Starscream to betray Megatron and try to best him and rule the Decepticons. But so does Starscream, even when he's demonstrably proven to both his peers and the audience that he's more than that. It's almost like his past incarnations--or the audience's expectation of him--haunt him. It turns his own internal man-versus-self conflict into this really cool man-versus-narrative conflict.

And what's crazy about this is, through the last moments of this arc, Starscream does grow beyond the narrative we'd expect from other Starscreams! But he never admits that to himself, because it's easier for him to cling to the idea that he's laser-focused on his hatred of Megatron. Every time he helps the minicons--every time he helps the humans--even in his last words, he LIES to himself and everyone around him that everything he did was always about Megatron. Because it's easier to simplify himself than to grasp that he might be a complex character. Because he's a person and he has all the messy conflicts that come with that. He falls back on the same ideas every single other Starscream did, and THAT is his undoing. Not that he is self-centered because he's Starscream. Not that he is obsessed with Megatron because he's Starscream. That he THINKS he is all of those things and he will not LET himself be anything else.

I would argue that that's a bigger theme in Armada, as well. Optimus and Megatron more or less spend their final fight coming to terms with their story roles in Transformers. I really feel like if you sneezed on them, they would realize they do this in every universe and in every timeline. Starscream's is the most interesting example to me, though, because he's such a departure from other versions of Starscream; hell, he acts (and looks, lol) a lot more like some incarnations of Thundercracker. But he's still got classic Starscream in him in this roundabout meta reference. He's like an homage to his namesake. It's so cool! And it works perfectly with the story he's a part of.

i've always adhered to the idea that termina isn't a real place but rather a representation of link himself. and it makes me unwell if i think about it too much. to be quite honest with you

[total-drama-brainrot]

Solo Victory Noah AU, where Noah is in Team Victory, instead of DJ... Noah later ends up becoming the final Team Victory Contestant... Alejandro keeps trying to sabotage Noah, but Noah always outsmarts all the sabotages... Noah ends up in the Final 3, with Alejandro and Heather... Owen is super-duper proud of Noah! 🏆

I've actually been toying with an AU where Noah ends up on Victory instead of CIRRRRH, watches what's happening to his team with thinly veiled annoyance, eventually grows sick and tired of sleeping in Economy (he's not at all concerned for the people he's watched be manipulated and/or his own position in the competition, why do you ask?) and manages to make it to the merge through the power of sheer spite despite being a one-man-team.

It's... not a very fleshed out idea, mind you, and I usually only ponder over it to make myself laugh at different scenarios where Alejandro is desperately trying to get Noah- the surprise one man army that no one saw coming- eliminated, and Noah managing to either outplay him at his own game or twist the circumstances to his favour in a very Looney Tunes-like fashion.

Because Alejandro would see the continued existence of Team Victory as a personal slight, so he'd put an increasing amount of time and effort into getting Noah eliminated if only to prove that he can. And Noah's just smart enough and finally motivated enough (initially by spite, turned vengeance, turned pure amusement) to spin Alejandro's schemes on their head every time. They're literally the Road Runner and Wile. E. Coyote.

It usually ends up with Team Chris or Team Amazon heading to an elimination ceremony, only for it to be a "surprise reward challenge" or something similar.

(Of course, they'd go through a "Alejandro tries to sweet talk Noah into an alliance" stage, like Alejandro does with DJ in canon, but Noah's switched on to Alejandro's true colours since he's literally watched him eliminate the rest of his team. Maybe Noah plays into Heather's offered alliance instead? Again, I haven't really thought too much on this silly AU.

After Chris doesn't allow Noah to join Team CIRRRRH, and Noah himself refuses Alejandro's offered alliance, it turns into Alejandro driving himself crazy trying and failing to eliminate Noah.)

The main draw of the idea, for me at least, is Noah not making it to the final three though. Because (in my mind) Noah doesn't even really want to be back in the competition- he just kind of went along with the crowd for the Celeb Manhunt bus chase, and inadvertently bagged himself a spot on World Tour. He's under no delusions that he'll ever win the million, but floating his way to the merge would at least make up for the embarrassment of being voted out first from the Gophers his short run in Island.

So he makes it to the merge after playing a glorified game of cat-and-mouse (Tom and Jerry Style) with Alejandro. He's got a hypercompetent Archvillain gunning for his elimination, and now that the teams are null and void, alliances are the name of the game. So what does Noah do?

He gets himself eliminated, just to take the satisfaction of doing so away from Alejandro. Probably through a technicality or something too, like Izzy's departure from the competition, to save himself the shame effort of jumping out of the jet.

That's mostly because I really like the idea of Noah reaching the merge, thinking "I've reached the goal I've set for myself. Might as well quit whilst I'm ahead!" and just-

Leaving.

(Which is ironic, because he's spent the last ~8 challenges actually trying to remain in the competition, and now he's just. Giving up. Drawing a line in the sand. "This is as far as I go.")

It's a shame that the London challenge happens pre-merge, because the idea of Duncan being forced back into the competition and the jet taking off before anyone realises that they're missing Noah- who snuck away into the city and is having a great time using Chris' debit card (of which he memorised during his time as Chris' assistant) to live it up bourgeoisie style in London- is fuelling me.

Realistically though, he'd probably sneak off in China during the eating challenge- because why would he stick around when Owen's gone? It wouldn't be hard for him to throw the eating challenge at the first round and then just. Not sit as the loser's table. Maybe he knows enough Mandarin to get by, and manages to stowaway himself back home to his family and beloved golden lab.

Meanwhile, Alejandro is seething.

Owen is really proud of his little buddy for making the merge, and a little disappointed in Noah for 'giving up', but when Noah expresses that he didn't have anything to stay for after Owen's departure, his disappointment turns to sentimentality.

Intros/Profiles Part 2/?: S.C.A.R.E. 'd Straight

[Potential CW for brief descriptions of violence, medical talk. Nothing overly detailed/gory, but just in case]

Inga was a stubborn (at the time) 12 year old. Stories, that's what they were. Tales of beasts and monsters that roamed the night that would either snatch, punish, or harm children, especially the naughty ones. But she wasn't naughty. Or at least, she thought she wasn't. Apparently adults interpret you speaking up for yourself as "mouthing off".

...Anyway...

Schprekenheim had its fair share of creatures. There was this one time there was a knight that was made entirely of birthday presents! But as far as she knew, that one had been defeated quite a while ago. Surely, such a short walk from the library back to her home one night couldn't be entirely eventful, right?

Wrong.

It had happened so fast, but the effects were instant, as was the pain. She was ambushed by a group of what appeared to be vampires: pointy ears, pale skin, fangs...the standards. Only things that were a bit different were the eye colors- red, she did associate with supernatural beasts, but not blue-, as well as the hair colors- primarily red, but some had the stereotypical jet black look. Some even have white hair! She did try fighting back, also protecting her neck as she had been taught to do.

But the creatures laughed at this. They had no desire to suck her blood. They desired something a little more...somatic. And a tad bit emotional.

See, this creatures fed off of pain; the misery and the resulting tears of sadness. So they did what they could to produce it in their victim. In this case, it was ripping the books she had borrowed from the library to shreds and burning them to ashes, physically attacking her...and burning part of her face. For no other reason other then they could. She managed to get away, but obviously not unscathed. Her injuries were treated, but when tried to explain to the librarian and her parents what happened, they dismissed it as her being irresponsible and lying to get out of trouble.

With this injustice, and noticing the ever-creeping-up spike of similar incidents in the area, Inga vowed to seek revenge against these, and any sort of monster, that would harm children.

(...)

It started in a similar manner to Val and her monster hunting. Only difference being, while Val operated alone, Inga quickly gained a partner in her mission. Of course, they almost weren't, as Inga was quick to pin them against a tree and hold a stake to them. But this kid- Andreas, he said his name was- was different. Other than the look of "a little lad who loves berries and cream", he acutally looked...pretty human? Or at least a little more human- the pointy ears, paleness, and fangs (along with a few different shows of power against a swarm of the creatures) kind of gave his true nature away.

That show of "humanness" reared its head when Inga was suddenly ambushed and, as a result, lost quite a bit of blood. Considering they were practically in the middle of nowhere and just...waltzing into a hospital with a badly beat up kid and the vampiric appearance (so one would assume "YOU attacked her! Vampire!! Stake them!!"), Andreas couldn't see conventional medical help...well, helping. Thankfully, though, he knew someone (or rather, two someones) would could help.

(...)

The next thing Inga knew, she was laying in a bed, surrounded by medical equipment...but it wasn't like the ones she had seen when she got her burn treated. Kind of looked like a hodgepodge or some kid's beginning construction project. It was working, though, that's what was important. First one she saw was Andreas, who was fast asleep in a nearby chair. When she saw the door to her room open, she was expecting to see some professional looking adult in a white coat, carrying a clipboard, rattling off all sort of medical jargon. To her surprise, though, a kid about her age walked in. Said his name was Jude, and that he was her "doctor" of sorts. Following behind him was another kid, this one a bit younger and...way more peppy. Said her name was LilliBella (but to call her L.B.!).

With Andreas now awake and her a bit more "with" it, they explained what happened. She was in need of a blood transfusion and Andreas, feeling somewhat responsible for her having gotten ambushed, donated some of his blood. L.B. cheerfully refers to them as "blood brothers", but Inga, initially, isn't as thrilled. Thankful that he was there to help her in her time of need, yes, but...did that mean she was now some sort of creature of the night, too?

Weeell, that's where it gets tricky. No one really knows what sort of effect a blood transfusion with a vampire (or, y'know, mostly vampire) would have on someone who was 100% human. Both Jude and L.B. wanted to keep her nearby to see what sort of effect this would have, if it had any. Inga was initially against the idea and wanted to get back to fighting the monsters that caused her to have to deal with this...but after almost fainting once she tried to get out of bed, that idea went quickly out the window. Intrigued by this "monster hunting" business, Jude and L.B. demanded answers, to which Andreas obliged. Both had experienced some form of injustice from them as well, and wanted in on the fight.

With that, and the recruitment of more members who wished to gain some protection against the uptick in creatures, as well as fight back against them, the Supernatural Children's Association of Reconnaissance and Expulsion (or: S.C.A.R.E) was formed.

-----------------------------------------

Inga Karnstein/"The Queen"

Voice Claim: Alison LaPlaca 

Inga is the head of S.C.A.R.E. and runs the organization like a fine-tuned machine....or, at the very least, would like to. No one's been turned into a monster and switched sides, nor has their base been invaded, so there's at least that.

As Schprekinheim's paranormal problem began increasing and outside help was increasingly becoming a desire, she had gotten in contact with the KND, having heard of their work around pre-invasion. When it was suggested they look into Sector ANTAG- given their status- Inga was initially hesitant, especially with recruiting Val; considering her....unique circumstances. She does have her eye on this temporary recruit of sorts, but so far, she seems to trust her. With her priority target level being so high, the smaller amount of  potential traitors, the better.

Andreas Dragomir/"The Prince"

 Voice Claim: J. Michael Tatum 

Perhaps one of S.C.A.R.E.'s most efficient field agents, Andreas is essentially Val's de facto partner, as the two had (initially) clashed during a homework eating weredog swarm.

After the dust had settled, he told her that he’s from the organization that had sent the letter. According to him, S.C.A.R.E. appears to work similar to the KND- albeit with a more supernatural focus. While the two may be fighting for the same cause, there's still a liiiiiittle bit of tension between the two; mainly shown in the form of snappy remarks. It loosens a bit, though, when they discover that they’re both not entirely human (Does he flaunt that extra 25% of vampire over Val? Yeeeeeah, kinda). That extra 25%, though, does come with some drawbacks. Prolonged sun exposure, even with sunscreen, causes him 2nd degree burns and a form of “sun poisoning”. Being a different kind of vampire as well, Andreas does require specific forms of sustenance- in his case, red, sugary substances (juice, slushies, etc)...hangry vampires are a no-go. 

Having already been through the vampiric puberty process and having somewhat of a better hold on it, Andreas does show a bit of concern for Val when she starts having her spurts....there's a lot of rage behind them, it seems.

LilliBella "L.B." Althea/"Hex Girl"

Voice Claim: Kamali Minter

With all the doom and gloom that seems to surround S.C.A.R.E., LilliBella is a little beacon of light that seeks to aid others in their fight. She is the organization's resident sorceress that aids in developing potions, enchanted weapons, and providing knowledge on some of the beasts that are roaming through Schprekenheim.

She additionally works alongside the organization's "doctor", Judas Marlowe. While he may have more knowledge in the more visceral aspects of the body and some of the conditions it goes through, LilliBella has a better understanding of the more "supernatural" aspects the can be associated with them. Heck, she helps him out with his and keeps an eye on Inga and...possibly hers? This sort of power is what leads to her danger/priority target level being as high as it is...who knows what can be done if her knowledge and achievements fall into the wrong hands.

Judas "Jude" Marlowe/"Doc"

Voice Claim: James Callis 

Alright, so he's not actually a doctor, but....dude's got a sizable amount of knowledge in the field of medicine for someone his age. Just as good, right? Regardless, Jude is the organization's medical officer and seeks to help others- be that injured in battle or just needing to let something off their chest. Part of his determination is associated with trying to understand his biology a bit better- being considered a "half-lycan" and only just now beginning to enter a time where genetics start fighting over what side is more dominant.

As such, he works closely with S.C.A.R.E.'s resident sorceress, LilliBella Althea, who understands the more "supernatural" aspects of certain conditions. He may have a handle on the more visceral aspects of the body, but she has a slightly different insight that aids greatly...she did develop a potion that appears to suppress more animalistic aspects of himself that appear around and on nights with a full moon, after all. Like L.B., it is his knowledge that makes his danger/priority target level what it is.

------

*Jude and L.B. primarily spend their time at the base, but in emergency situations, they do have a similar amount of training/skills that will aid in battle as field agents...hence the double delegation.
