#so this is partly inspired by that

[what-have-i-unleashed]

i do headcanon that killer is not a monster so his body wouldn't dust upon death anyway, or maybe it only disintegrates a bit. with this in mind...

imagine nightmare keeps the bodies of previous killers as scarecrows/trophies in the front yard of his castle/mansion. like, the bodies in crucified position. and wild flowers and weeds and tree branches grow inside those bodies, making it part of the scenery, part of the atmosphere, part of the natural cycle of those working under nightmare. a grim reminder for all the current ones every time they see the bodies outside of the windows.

maybe a legend, a horror story, starts to emerge from the current residents. that the scarecrows sometimes move - they sometimes will look at you when you look at them. it's as if they're alive, or maybe they're half-dead, or maybe they're ghosts entirely. spooky, isn't it?

steve immediately catching obvious signs of heartbreak from eddie because he’s experienced them so many times himself, wondering how anyone could have possibly turned the guy down or strung him along, when he himself is so smitten that he can barely keep himself from telling eddie how he feels for fear of ruining their friendship. steve assuming that some metalhead girl is the source of eddie’s heartbreak, trying to set him up with a couple of girls to try and help him get over whoever it is, having boys’ nights where he offers to listen to whatever eddie wants to say about this mystery girl that’s got his heart all in knots, even though it’s downright torturous for steve.

eddie being more confused than he’s ever been, because steve seems to have picked up on how hopelessly eddie’s been pining, but not that it’s him eddie’s been pining after. he has to keep turning down the girls steve tries to set him up with, has to keep deflecting when steve asks him about the “girl” that’s making him so sad, all the while he’s, like, pretty sure steve is flirting with him. but steve’s straight, right? right…?

Have you ever come up with a design for Axe's armor?

I hadn't, so thanks for giving me an excuse to finally do that :]

[idkwhatimdoingbutslay]

I do think a great fandom joke is using ‘Kira’ as a prefix before anything in relation to the Kirammans. The Kiraparents and Their Kiradaughter. The famous Kirammountains. The KiraMansion. Etc, etc.

Their impact is immeasurable.

Cool caption that'll make you want to read the tenth chapter of my fic based around a one hat post-canon where Isa goes back to the Favor Tree and finds Loop and stuff happens.

Slams desk. Throws table grabs shoulders that bee one is literally so lovely oh my goodness ToT like gen for what it is, its cute as a concept and AAAAA bee reader. And their lil story and how it progresses on with dogday and aaaaa naturally yer writing style made it all go together so well too like UGH TOT

Pardon me but like, I need a continuation 😨 GAH JUST imagine Y/N holdin his face, A hand on each side before moving to caress other parts as if remembering forgotten memories. “Did anything change?” Gives the lass scratches under his ear and laughs “Nope”

Tbh let the reader be silly to have an old friend again

Bumble On By, I Won’t Be Long

"Don't fly! That's cheating!"

"No it's not!"

"Yes it is!"

Dogday blinks and sees you. You're staring out at the Playcare, or so it looks like. He knows you don't see much of anything anymore. He wonders what you're thinking about.

"Dogday! Don't lick me! I'm covered in pollen!"

"But I l- GUH BLEH!"

"I told you, silly!"

You straighten when a weight settles into your lap. Your hand falls to the top of a furry head. You can picture it in your mind, the shape of his face, the curve of his features.

Dogday looks up at you, feeling your hands trace his ears. Your fingers are careful, following the slant of his jaw, the stretch of his wide smile. He sighs as you stroke down the bridge of his nose before drawing your thumbs along his brows.

"Dogday, I have something for you!"

"What? What? What?"

"Here! They're called forget-me-nots. They're so you never forget me, even if I don't come back for the next season."

"Aw, come on! Who could ever forget you?"

Your smile is smaller now, but no less brilliant. Dogday never forgot that.

"Has anything changed?" He asks you, your hands cradling his cheeks.

A laugh escapes you, flooding his mind with a million memories. "Nope. You're as handsome as ever."

thump thump thump

You giggle louder as Dogday buries his face in your lap, his tail slapping against the floor.

He's going to find you some flowers. Pretty and a breath of fresh air, just like you.

*looks at Pure Vanilla in an AU we've been working on* What if we just.... *hits them with the plural beam* Perfect :3

Or, hi we like talking about how our own collective works but that feels like tmi for most people so here we're talking about Pure Vanilla's system in a WIP AU :D

-----------

The Vanilla Collective, as they like to call themselves, formed due to the general trauma they experienced as a child soldier, under both Dark Enchantress and Shadow Milk. All the more solid headmates are various incarnations of Pure Vanilla himself. They do have a few non-Vanilla based headmates, but they aren't as complete, being less 'solid', for lack of a better term.

Nobody else is aware of them being plural, and they don't really care either way. Vanilla is glad that it means nobody is giving them special treatment, with Recluse arguing that at the very least, Golden Cheese should know, as she's the only Ancient they're traveling with.

While there's no physical changes when somebody else takes over front, several of them have small ways of finding comfort. Recluse's eyes tend to darken slightly, and he'll pull out a cape similar to the one he wears in canon. Healer will wrap bandages over his eyes, finding comfort in the feeling, while Art will leave the right eye exposed, but completely covers the left one.

--

Vanilla/Vil - The 'host' and the one who primary fronts. He's vaguely aware of a lot of the things the others remember, due to how rare it is for anyone other then him to front alone. He's usually more quiet, yet supportive. He's the one driving them to seek out answers with Golden Cheese, much to Recluse's annoyance. The 'good tempered one', although he has a secret gremlin streak that only the Ancients and his headmates know about.

Truthless Recluse/Recluse - Primarily functions in a protector-like role. He tries to keep most of the traumatic memories away from the majority of the collective, with only Art and Vil also having memories of certain traumatic periods. Generally more harsh to those who aren't part of the collective, but has a good heart. The most serious of the group, but will occasionally crack and join the chaos.

Healer - The only one in the primary fronter trio without any specific memories of the trauma, as this is simply against what they are here to be. They tend to take over front when Vanilla is doing badly and there's no active threat. The only time they've been forced to stay alone in front was under Dark Enchantress, which ended up with them not having any memories of that period of time anyways, due to Art forming. The most upbeat besides Lamb, and the most chaotic by a long shot. Very eager to hit somebody will his staff.

Artificial Vanilla/Art - A headmate split from Healer, during the time Healer got frontstuck. Art has most of the memories of this time, and is more closed off. They dislike fronting, as the main experience they have is one of the worst times the collective experienced. In the rare moments they co-front, the entire front looses the ability to see out of their left eye, even though that wound has been healed on the body. As they are primarily based off Healer, they retain his more chaotic nature, but is more subdued.

Lamb - A little, he's the memory of who Pure Vanilla was before everything went to shit. He's usually kept away from front, due to their less then ideal situation. Healer has taken on a vaguely parental role to Lamb, taking care of him in the headspace. Lamb is typically regarded as the 'small fragment of innocence' the system still has, leading to everyone trying to keep him safe at all costs. The most upbeat, and likes wandering around the enchanted forests and flower fields of the headspace!

Lily/Gold/Blizzard/Holly - a quartet of less 'solid' headmates, all child versions of the other Ancients. The term 'fragments' could be used to describe them, but Lamb calls them Wisps. They can usually be found wandering the same forest and gardens that Lamb calls home, and the five of them stick together most of the time. They tend to appear more spirit-like, with paler colors and bright blue/white mist obscures their faces and follows them around. Overall much more happy then the rest of the system, partly due to the fact that they aren't formed enough to front.

The Herd + Cream - not exactly headmates, per say, but animals that reside within the headspace. Cream is a Cakehound that Vanilla used to have under the Witches. Art can't stand to look at her without needing to step away to cry. Healer, on the other hand, adores her despite not remembering her that much. The Herd, as they're affectionately called, is a flock of sheep that Lamb tends to. Their wool is light blue, with soft swirls of white. They're very affectionate, and will often follow Lamb around without the little even noticing!

i have more conspiracies about MASH that may or may not be true, but ive decided they are. they also just might have been explained, but im dumb, and cant remember. heres your sequel.

in 7x3 where hawkeye tackles bj, bj goes "AAH!' and hawkeye says 'WRONG! THAT STARTS WITH AN H!'. this is because mike farrell's line was 'hey!' but due to the force and drama of the scene, just Yelped instead.

All the dogs that turned up that never appeared again [like the one bj and hawk "ate" when they were trying to scare a visitor, dogs seen in 1 shot, etc] were just dogs that the production crew/cast owned and wanted to bring to work/volunteered their animal for acting duty

in the handful if scenes where hawkeye is actually knitting [and not using the red yarn, for the reason given in the previous edition], hes making a blankie for erin. [co-credit my sibling]

klinger got his ears pierced during the course of the show, starting with clearly just clip-ons and then later declares he doesnt want his ears to close up. some say continuity error, I say commitment (and also it would probably be easier to find real earrings instead of clip-ons)

in s7e2 Peace on Us, no one told bill christopher to tie that red streamer around his neck, he just thought it would be silly

in s7e2 Peace on Us, again, no one told alan alda to drive the jeep back to camp with his leg up like that. he just knows the character well enough to make that call. which he's correct about

the scar on hawkeye's lip was caused by a fishhook in his youth. got called Troutboy a long time afterward because of it.

bj is a vaseline girlie and takes good care of his hair as well.

hawkeye sniffs food because, having grown up partly during the depression, eating spoiled food was a real risk, so giving it a good ol' sniff-test was a given

fr mulcahy cares deeply about his appearance and engages in more grooming activities than any other guy in camp [the shower cap, always looking perfect, owning gardening gloves, manicured hands and feet, etc]. he even irons his stole on a bi-weekly basis and launders his clerical collars

hawkeye's issues with people leaving and not saying goodbye began with his mother after she passed, since his father didnt want him to worry

on nights where charles goes to bed after the other two, he will occasionally clean up a little bit. this contributes to why he's so pissed in 'Pressure Points'- he's been doing his own cleaning and some of theirs without them noticing or caring.

once again these are all just things that came to mind while watching, i didnt think too hard on them. the only one 'researched' on was the food sniffing, solely because i needed to do Year Math lol

First redesign of the two main boys as they go through their major character arcs.

Starting with Drake. It's supposed to give "when you leave you strict immigrant parents" vibe, as he embraces his own personal style not what his father wants him to be. Additional details includes the mark he received with when he bonded with Eirenelas. This special bond (which is called a celestial bond) gives Drake some of Eirenelas' abilities, mostly flight and superhuman agility (wing is not actual size, full sized couldn't fit).

Drake, Xiang, and Alisha were trained with traditional weapons by Taiyang. Drake with butterfly swords (hudie shuangdao), Xiang with the bo staff (this is a hint for Kingsley's redesign), and Alisha with a katana. It's not pictured here, but Drake goes back to using butterfly swords while working with Eirenelas.

Bruce Wayne was born the only child of Doctor Thomas Wayne and his wife Martha. Thomas and Martha had been trying for a baby long before Bruce was born, but they kept suffering from miscarriages. They began to worry they'd never have a child successfully. But finally (in a rare stroke of luck for this couple), they successfully gave birth to Bruce Wayne, who would become their pride and joy.

Bruce came from wealth, seeing as both his parents were the heirs to old money families. The Wayne family and the Kane household were both prestigious families in Gotham history, and Bruce was now an heir to both of them. This meant he was dragged to all the high society events. And he thereby met a lot of other young heirs to gotham high society when he was a young boy. Oswald Cobblepot, Thomas Elliot, Roman Sionis, etc.

Bruce loved his parents, but his father was always really distant. He mostly spent time with his mom or with Alfred, his family's young new butler. They were more or less his real close family. He idolized his dad, but he never knew him very well. Perhaps that was a good thing, though. Because Thomas Wayne was never known for being a paragon of virtue. Ever since he saved Carmine Falcone's life when the two of them were young adults, there were whispers of darkness shrouding the name of Thomas Wayne…

And it made sense those whispers existed, because of the Court of Owls. The Court of Owls was a secret society made up of all of gotham's richest males. The Falcones were initially excluded from the group, but Carmine used Thomas as his way in. And once he was in, he took charge of it all. Falcone and Wayne were partners in crime. One lended legitimacy to the others dirty dealings. They had a good thing going on together, and everyone knew it.

I don't want to waste my whole note on discussing their dealings inside of the Court as they grappled with foes like the first riddler and the first joker, but let's just make this clear: Thomas Wayne was a crooked man. Him and Carmine Falcone imprisoned all their enemies at Arkham Asylum. The Cobblepots and the Elliots both threatened to rat on Thomas, so he had them locked away forever. Eventually, even Doctor Jeremiah Arkham (their spineless collaborator in making Arkham Asylum a corrupt institution) was imprisoned in his own family property. He grew a spine much too late, i'm afraid. And everyone in gotham heard rumours of this stuff, but none of it was ever provable. So it began to be forgotten with time.

Martha and Alfred both knew about all of Thomas's dirty dealings, though. Martha put up with it because she was scared to leave, however. Her husband held sway over the community. She couldn't leave Thomas, not unless she wanted to be killed or sent to Arkham. So she stuck around and protected her son from the dark underbelly of her husband's world. She was a real saint, and alfred really only stayed with the family because of her.

Alfred became the Wayne family butler to replace his dead father, who had also been the Wayne family butler. But Alfred was disgusted by the family's behavior (specifically thomas's behavior), and he began packing to leave. He was all set to return to England, just when the news of Thomas and Martha's deaths had reached his ears.

Bruce was around seven or eight years old. His family was leaving the monarch theatre on park row, heading home for the night. When suddenly, a mugger by the name of Joe Chill showed up and shot Thomas and Martha Wayne dead. It was nothing personal. It was just business. Falcone knew Martha Wayne was slowly convincing her husband to go straight, and he had to get rid of them. It's a shame the kid survived, but at least he got rid of the main two threats to him and his court's empire.

Bruce was comforted by Alfred and a doctor in park row named Leslie Thompkins. They looked after him for the few weeks that he was an orphan of the state. But eventually, the court declared that Bruce would be sent to live with his closest living relative, his mother's brother Phillip in Blüdhaven. Alfred returned to England and Leslie stayed as a doctor in Gotham, however. So Bruce had to move cities as an eight year old boy, heading off to meet a new relative he'd never even seen before. One chapter of his life had ended, but a new one was about to begin in Blüdhaven, with his uncle Phillip and his uncle's housekeeper, one Mrs. Chilton.
