#sorry I’m rambling this morning

[frownyalfred]

Okay you said we could ask anything about protein so here goes; what would Bruce and Alfred give to a newly adopted Jason to help him gain muscle and keep up with his new highly demanding physical routine? Because they got enough work cut out for them just trying to get him healthy again without the stress of being Robin on top.

I have a friend whose son was training throughout high school to become a professional athlete who needed a ton of muscle/weight added. He was a skinny kid to start. They blended up heavy cream and ice cream daily to make “shakes” for him. Sour cream tub added to the lasagna. Extra large portions, etc.

For Jason, I’m sure it was a massive increase in both calories eaten + expenditure, and also protein like you point out. But when it comes to adding weight while you’re growing like that, calories are king. I imagine Alfred already makes rich, protein-heavy dishes like stews, roasts, chicken dishes, etc. there are shakes and whey products for snacks. Lots of vegetables and fresh fruits to build up vitamins and other nutrients Jason might have been missing.

Jason was Robin right around when young boys start to grow like weeds. He probably would’ve gotten taller first, then filled out a little. But I don’t think he would’ve been as bulky as Pit!Jason without changing a lot of how he trained and fueled. He would’ve ended up more like Dick’s Nightwing physique, I think — built more for speed than power, at least compared to Bruce.

God I wish I had a good caption for this, but I do not. Best I can think of is “I depend on you”, but it also has nothing to do with the blue and yellow drawing at all

But in any case, this is a thing I drew today

I was trying and failing at giving Lux a good alt mode design, and that paired with other things was making me really discouraged, and I sort of ended up just starting to draw this, and then I ended up liking where it was going, which brought up my mood today, so that’s good

As such, I don’t actually have much context for what this scene is

It’s also featuring some more 3D elements in the design, since attempting to draw Transformers One again has put that back in my head, though since I still don’t know exactly how the forearms/hands work, it’s a bit less effective than I would have liked. But I’m slightly less sloppy with the anatomy I think, yay

I’m also now noticing Megatron looks a bit off, but I think part of that is that his arm is obscured by Optimus’, and while it made sense in the sketch, it looks a bit weird now

I also had to slightly change Optimus’ expression from sketch to lineart since the correct placement for his eyebrows would have made it so you don’t see his full expression, so I had to bring them down. It sounds minuscule but his eyebrows higher up did change the expression (it had more shock than the current more quiet concern)

I think I’m realizing that the sketch might have looked better than the final version, at least to me. Oh well

I also may or may not have went ham on lighting and shading, probably to an unnecessary degree. It’s just that this was the only image on the canvas and I really liked it, so I wanted to spiff it up, make it more nice looking

This is a version with significantly less of it, and also a white border because I was considering that before I realized it made it look a bit too sticker like. But I just think the flat colors on their own have merit too

Anyways, like I said, I don’t really have much context for this image, since it was just something I made to make something

Best I can come up with is this interaction happening sometime after Kiloton’s death, with Megatron still not over it and coming to Optimus for comfort. Optimus is a bit shocked at first (not to mention he’s got his own currently unrequited feelings for Megatron that he really doesn’t want to act on right now when Megs is emotionally vulnerable), but he chooses to comfort his friend anyways

Or alternatively, this is Megatron feeling overwhelmed about his whole lie about his infection and the terrible questions the truth brings, and again, going to Optimus to feel better. Optimus does the same in this scenario, it’s just that he doesn’t really know what’s bothering Megatron, since he refuses to tell him the truth. But he’ll be there for him regardless, hoping one day he feels comfortable enough to tell him

But yes, thing I drew that I quite like. Probably would be more impactful if the majority of the description wasn’t me just talking about the design process and my own personal nitpicks

ghost and soap retiring and have a baby, and someone tells ghost that the kids gonna be just like him. he hates it, loathes the idea of his baby being anything like him. soap catches onto this quick, and over time manages to convince ghost this isn’t a bad thing, and he’d love their kid being just like him. eventually, ghost settles on the bittersweet notion that he’s going to do the best for his baby no matter what. if they turn out like him then he’ll get to see what he would’ve been like if he grew up in a happy home, and had a wonderful childhood.

Bakugou has always taken care of you, even before you started dating him. when you were mere friends and still learning each other, he remembered all the small things about you. he always seemed to pack the medicine you preferred when you weren’t feeling good. always had a plethora of your fav snacks on his person somehow, like he was just waiting for you to mention wanting it.

he acts put off by it every time, with his scoffing and eye rolling and huffing. but you see the way his eyes narrow when someone beats him to the punch, when you reject his offer of medicine or food. early on you notice, that he just likes to care for you, look after you, be there when you don’t even realize you need someone.

he’s there when you get high for the first time—all worrywart and frustrated sighs when you keep slurring after an hour. he’s there for you, to help lay you down somewhere safe and ward off those with bad intentions. he’s there when you get broken up with—ready to email that fuckers job and let them know how they fucked you over. but he still holds you tenderly with every sob your shaking body heaves. he’s there when you get drunk—handing you waters and letting you pull him in to dance and sing off key.

and when you finally get together, it’s like you don’t even have to learn anything about the other. its likes you’ve been together for a hundred lifetimes, like your quirks have been ingrained into his everyday routine, like you’re the freckle on the lower left corner of his right hand. he falls into you, and you into him, easier than breathing. he just has a knack for caring—and learning and loving—about those he loves.

Alright gang, let's talk about appropriate fanfiction comments! This is not one!

I don’t want to sound mean, or point someone out or anything, but this is not it. Comments on fanfiction should be uplifting, talking about the fic, or just in general, positive. The fact that I have written for boat boys and smalletho countless other times yet this is the fic they chose to comment on instead of them really grinds at something inside me. It doesn’t make me want to write for that pairing because you commented that, it just makes me feel bad about my writing skills in general. Fanfiction is a gift to the community, it is time spent when the author could’ve done something else, it is not something for people to insert themselves in with opinions not needed or asked. Believe me, I talk so much with my friends about my fics and what works and what doesn’t, I do not need a guest commenter to do so as well. We are all in control of our decisions, let's think before we act and choose to be kind.

Hi, what are the traits that you think Mello would find attractive about Soichiro Yagami? And vice versa?

HIII HELLO UM,,, sorry it took me so long to respond, this was so much harder to answer than I thought it would be lol. Istg I’m too tired to even think anymore >_< ALSO sorry if I go a bit off topic at any point but I’m trying my best I swear

What Mello finds attractive about Soichiro:

-His cute grey hair, obviously.

-(Also quite obvious considering how much I post about this but) His age/general father figure-ness. I was going to go into more depth about this point but I feel like there are so many different factors contributing to Why that I’m not even sure where to begin.

-Sort of adding on to that, I think in particular the idea of this like, upstanding, principled older man with a loving wife and kids being attracted to him, someone who is so young and anything but upstanding and principled and not who he should be attracted to, and the thought of dragging him down from that moral righteousness, making him succumb to temptation, is something he’d be pretty into (corruption kink mayhaps??)

-Because he’s so like,, proper and old fashioned, Mello finds that it isn’t too difficult to get him flustered. When they’re alone he loves teasing him just to elicit a reaction from him. To him it’s almost cute how he struggles to keep his composure over things he’d personally consider tame.

What Soichiro finds attractive about Mello:

-(This is difficult because all of these things are hidden underneath so much denial and repression and come with so much shame and guilt that it feels wrong to just list them in such a straightforward manner)

-Okay look. He’s pretty. He is undeniably, objectively pretty, quite striking, really, so can you really blame him for thinking that (whatever helps you sleep at night king)

-But like. It’s more than that. There’s something strangely alluring about him. Intoxicating, almost. Like he’s just so unfamiliar and wild and defies all of the ideals Soichiro desperately clings to and is all of the things he shouldn’t want but in a way it almost adds to the appeal.. idk (corruption kink mayhaps??)

-As much as he goes against everything he stands for, Mello is smart and hardworking, and Soichiro can respect that.

-Tbh I think he’d maybe be a little more into Mello’s oral fixation than he would like to admit,, (source: in one of the not really canon but still official four panel comics, titled “Party Tricks”, several of the characters debate over who has the most impressive “party trick”. Soichiro brings up L’s ability to tie cherry stems into knots with his tongue (which is really not all that impressive compared to some of the other nominations and definitely not the first thing I’d go with). There is a relatively common myth that being able to do this makes you a good kisser. No I’m not reaching at all what do you mean.)

Okay I give up trying to add on to this. Maybe I’ll update/change this in the future but here are my thoughts for now.

[holographic-mars]

Can I make the head canon that cosmos got really excited when he first saw a watermelon?

He started stimming and turning to soundwave like "it looks like me!!"

YES YOU CAN

I think about that sometimes bc fun fact! I used to go by Melon! My old tag was watermelonjuice and i was watermelon themed ehe

Anyways absolutely. Soundwave is on earth a lot more frequently than Cosmos bc Cosmos isn’t very good on planets that aren’t low gravity (it makes him clumsy and sore and disoriented if he stays too long) so Soundwave is already well learned on the weird things of earth. Including the suspiciously boyfriend shaped and colored fruit.

Cosmos, during one of his infrequent and short visits to earth, comes across a watermelon and Soundwave makes an off handed comment about how he matches the fruit. Cosmos then loses his mind a little bit bc yeah, it DOES kinda looks like him. He thinks it’s the funniest thing ever, when did he start matching with a fruit? Soundwave quietly giggles beside Cosmos because Cosmos is so enamored with this organic thing! It’s so silly watching the spaceshuttle find so much amusement in this tiny fruit (he then realizes, standing next to cosmos and surrounded by his herd of elephants, just how *domestic* this all is. When did he become so soft?).

They then proceed to discover that 1) elephants can eat watermelon and 2) elephants LOVE to eat watermelon so Soundwave thoroughly enjoys watching his elephants happily munch on some melon while cosmos drapes over his shoulders and bemoans the loss of his fruit lookalikes
