I finished Moby Dick. So, to continue my former post(s) documenting my thoughts, here we are (spoilers ahead):
captain ahab: i am once again asking hast thou seen the white whale
Narrator, for the 5 millionth time describing captain ahab: "MONOMANIACAL. MONOMANIAC. MONOMANIA."
I was thinking "the homosexual themes everyone talks about are really exaggerated apparently…" and then I got to the chapter about sperm squeezing
Stubb meeting with the French in chap 91 had the exact vibe of a filler episode on a comedy sitcom
there are a lot of moments that reminded me of The Office ngl like i could just imagine stubb in the little interview chair just talking. so much meme material. he's seriously just doing his own thing. the little random characters like the blacksmith and carpenter just talking shit and side-eyeing ahab in the background lmaoooo
Saint George didn't kill a dragon, it was a whale #THETRUTHREVEALED #WHALETRUTHERS
It would have been hilarious if the British people told Ahab that they already killed Moby Dick already before he could get to it. I was so hoping that would happen. Bonus points if it was the Rachel after he'd turned them away.
Ahab discusses the topic of madness a lot. It's almost like he's… mad...
I vote Ahab for the most Byronic hero to ever Byronic… Heathcliff and Rochester have nothing on him… The origin of the Byronic hero, Byron's titular character from the narrative poem Childe Harold, is literally mentioned by name in the novel and had to be a blatant inspiration - it could not be more obvious! (I have yet to encounter the famed Byronic heroes of Russian literature, most notably Eugene Onegin, a work where Byron is also blatantly name-dropped).
Everyone thinking Queequeg was dying and having a coffin made to his measurements and filled with grave goods at his direction and then him literally climbing into the coffin to test it out and then waiting silently to die…. then all of a sudden getting better and saying he chose to recover bc he remembered he had something on his to-do list….. iconic
Ishmael referring to Queequeg as "my Queequeg…" omg. Queerqueg
Queequeg drawing figures like the ones on his tattoos omg… au story where Queequeg is an artist/tattoo artist when???
I was literally saying "AWWWWW" out loud when Ahab and Pip were having their little moments
The irony of Ahab abandoning the Rachel then it coming back for Ishmael… the coffin lifeboat… etc… good stuff…
okay ahab is my man but yeah he was an asshole to the captain of rachel.
also feel bad for tashtego. he wanted that gold doubloon so bad and ahab was like SIKE, MOTHERFUCKER! umm tashtego did not get cut out of a whale by queequeg to deal with ur shit ahab!
Once again wanting a Black Sails/Moby Dick AU… I found this essay about the similarities between Flint/Ahab https://ijms.nmdl.org/article/view/22389/14361
They only have like 2-3 little moments together but like… Starbuck/Ahab kind of outdoing Ishmael/Queequeg there for a moment… chaps 132/134… oh my godddddddddddddd whyyyyyyy
Captain Ahab's moments in chapters 36/37 AAAAAHHHHH you will see me being normal about this
I noted some of my favorite Ahab moments/chapters and they are 36/37/41/70/99/108/109/113/115/116/119/125/129/132/134/135. Like I may seriously just re-read those chapters (no offense to Melville's whale facts, Stubb's jokes, & Pip's insanity)
the end is kind of similar to the great gatsby in the sense that you finally realize the entire novel was actually written for him to cope with his grief-related trauma & then suddenly it all makes sense. the lingering, the sentimentality regarding seemingly insignificant details or people, the meandering/digressing/procrastinating getting to the end, etc.
there are actually several moments -- i don't know if he actually referred to ahab or the others in past-tense specifically, but there were several moments where i felt like i kind of thought he was giving away the end before he did (it wasn't a shock to me bc i read about the end prior, but still)

Hello. Please answer this. I think it's important these get adressed. me and others of this community have been getting uncomfortable with some of your art. While I see nothing wrong with the Fankai, the rest of it has caused issues for people. First, there is the Natsuki fanfic. While I personally don't have much issue with it, there are some who feel very uncomfortable with their comfort character (Nate) Being changed in such a drastic way, and believe a separate community should be made for that art, as some people have gotten to the point of self harm from seeing their comfort characters changed so much. Next, there is uncomfortable undertones to your "Damonate" Fanfic. It seems very "Loli" esque, with a childish hundred year old woman being with a child. Then there is the sexual undertones to some of the natsuki art, particularly the maid outfit with Arachnia. This is to some extent sexualization of a minor. Then, there is the inequality in the amount of transmasc and transfem characters you draw. 90% of your characters that are trans are transfem, and barely any are transmasc. Then, finally, there is the softcore Arachnus and Toadal Dude art. While nothing is showing, it is very clearly provocative and you have a mostly minor fanbase. I believe that art should be on a separate account.
If you could adress these, it would be good. Thank you.
OK, guess we're doing this.
I've heard a decent few people say they find my natsuki au uncomfortable. I will only say this: no one is making you interact with this content. If you don't like it, just scroll.
I haven't heard anything about the self harm until now, but in my honest opinion; "self harm over someone else doing fanon stuff with a fictional character is indicative of a much larger issue." I say this not to undermine the struggle with self harm, as I have dealt with it myself in the past, but I cannot stress this enough, a random person on the internet's visual fanfiction should not be cited as the reason for that.
Onto the damonate issue. The yokai watch Fandom needs to realize it is a Canon fact "YOKAI DO NOT AGE THE SAME AS HUMANS"
Toiletta is 70 and still a little girl, enma is 60 and acts like a teenager til about shadowside. It is clear that the immortality of being a yokai affects how one matures, so their chronological age does not automatically make them an adult.
And with Damona, she is arguably *very much a child.*
The only time in the games where she is actually treated as a character, she is primarily characterized as a daddies girl who feigned being emotionless in order to get her dad to spend time with her. 2
(I have not seen any full episode of her in the anime, but what I have seen doesn't really disprove the above point.)
On top of that, damona received a redesign in shadowside, the sequel series where Nate himself is an adult.
And it is incredibly clear, she has also matured in this time skip. I don't know why she ages so much in 3 decades when she's at least 190 by the first game, but here we are.
Yokai age is inconsistent, but Damona is one of the more clear-cut examples of being a child.
Onto the maid point: yeah, kinda. I didn't really realize the unfortunate implications until *after* I posted the art. But I do feel that of any maid outfits I could have chose, I used some of the tamer ones as not a lot of skin is really shown on the drawing, or the characters I pulled them from. (The joke with Entoma is specifically that she *isnt* conventionally attractive)
Unfortunately maids in general have been sexualized to hell and back along with a number of other female specific outfits.
On the transmasc point: I actually agree. Mostly cause I use my own experience as a base for making content, and I just don't really have a lot of transmasc headcanons I jive with.
I have tried to rectify this with the oc Toransu being specifically a transmasc character, but I could definitely be doing more.
And on the final point: I will just make it clear here
I AM NOT HERE TO BABYSIT YOUR KIDS.
Social media generally has rules against those younger than teen years making accounts for a reason.
I know kids will lie about their ages to circumvent this, hell *I* did that when I was younger. But it still remains: it is a parents responsibility to track what their children are doing on the internet. Not the random fanartist who makes funky ghost content. If kids are coming across content I have explicitly flagged for my older audiences, that is the parent's responsibility.
I see no point in making a separate account for something I've basically only done once and don't really plan to do often. Even if I did, I've been told my style is very easy to recognize. Meaning by all accounts, I'd likely still hear someone bitching about me doing it.
And while it wasn't a point in this comment, I might as well address it: it's been brought to my attention that people are evidently accusing me of being "a proshipper"
I have never been able to actually understand that whole "pro vs anti" debate, and every attempt to get an answer has just left me confused.
All I will say on that is incest and pedo shit is gross. Apart from that, ship whatever you want, and for fucks sake don't get on people's case for ships you don't like for no reason. There are better uses of your time.
Sorry for the full rant.

Was chatting with my lovely mutual @mortalasystem about my Wyllstarion fic Just One Yesterday and some of the inspo that got me started on it, and I thought why not share those things with people who might be looking for good recs? With that, here are some of the biggest inspirations for my super involved story!
Friday Nights by @sadinasaphrite
So the first and probably most prominent inspiration for a modern au is this wonderful Bloodweave fic called Friday Nights over on ao3. I really loved the chemistry between Gale and Astarion in this one, and Gale's perspective was very interesting, especially with the mix of magic still in this au. Wonderfully written, very considerate of Astarion's circumstances as a sex worker, and a happy ending to wrap it all up nicely!
Read it on Ao3
Sex worker/Charity worker Halstarion AU by @malacandrax
This comic has nine parts as of now that are all little snippets of Halsin being a concerned social worker and Astarion as a sex worker in a 70s/80s UK setting. OP really took a lot of consideration writing this one and portraying realistic steps that someone in Astarion's situation could take, and I love how they really captured both characters so well. The progression between the Astarion and Halsin is really nicely done, even in such small snippets. 11/10, definitely recommend.
Link to Part 1 here
Perfect Slaughter by @imagineitdearies
This is a Tavstarion fic that honestly captivated me so much from beginning to end. It's a long form fic that is incredibly compelling and is an alternate au prequel to the events of BG3. Tyrus, the protagonist, is a very compelling original character, and his relationship with Astarion in the hell that is Cazador's palace was so well crafted. This was the story that had me wanting to explore more relationships with Astarion in my own writing, focus on dark topics and give them the respect they deserve such as trauma, abuse, and torture, and try my own hand at writing something long form. It's gotten a great deal of praise, all of which is well deserved, and I cannot recommend it enough.
Read it on Ao3
The funny thing about my Wyllstarion thing was that there was actually very little Wyllstarion inspiration. I saw some good art here and there on tumblr, but not very much at the time. My dash was mostly bloodweave if anything. Still, there was just enough of an inkling in my head of Wyll and Astarion, and then a dumbass idea came to me one day.
I wrote it in the first chapter's notes on Ao3, but the thing that kicked this multi chapter obsession into gear was...
Just One Yesterday by Fall Out Boy
A song off a ten year old album. That's what did it. Specifically the lyrics:
Anything you say can and will be held against you,
So only say my name. It will be held against you.
Those two lines had my brain swimming with a one-shot smut fic of a police officer Wyll and a sex worker Astarion, but a one shot wasn't enough for the romantic that is Wyll. I couldn't write him having a first meeting kind of fling. I wrote out the original one shot idea, let it sit for a couple months, and then suddenly, something clicked in my brain and the whole thing took off from there.
Still, without this lyric, the story wouldn't exist at all. Honestly, going back and listening to the whole song after everything I've written so far, I think it's a fitting title and song in its own way. Highly recommend giving it a listen if you aren't familiar!
---
That's all the big ones. If other things come to mind that I missed, I'll reblog this and add onto it. In the meantime, I highly recommend checking these things out and showing the artists some love! Thanks for taking the time to read, and I hope you found something new to enjoy!

Hello! I have come asking for you to info-dump about the the modern human au. I full of brain rot of them (especially after the last thing you posted about them, damn) Maybe you can tell us a bit more Sally!!
lucky for you, i've been full of that good ol brainrot As Well! thoughts! feelings! ideas! i got em!
so since we're already on the subject of the Crash Arc, allow me to expand on it for a moment before i get to Sally Thinkings! if you've read the snippet, you may have noticed the extent of Wally's injuries was not listed yet. well! he got messed up with a capital F! since it's fiction and i'm god in this scenario, i'm veering slightly away from realistic damage, immediate & lasting. bc lets be real. if i stuck to "this is as realistic as i can make it", then Wally would be aaaaaabsolutely fucked. it was a bad crash in a very unsafe vehicle at high speeds. like - this is what happened. a drunk driver hit Home going 70 down the freeway. swerve, fishtail, tumble down a (small, shallow, really its more like a glorified ditch) ravine with trees and rocks and shit on it. absolute miracle that Wally didn't die in the crash, let alone during the solid half hour (slightly longer) he was trapped in Home before someone noticed the crash site and called emergency personnel. Wally "hanging up" on Barnaby was actually the impact jarring him so he slipped and hit the end call button. but yeah without going into technicalities and detail, Wally has some lasting damage in his dominant hand. It takes extensive physical therapy for him to be able to paint/draw again at the same level he had been at. the hematoma hadn't done a lot of brain damage that wouldn't resolve itself with time. in my mind, when Wally wakes up in the hospital, for a few days he's very confused and his memory is shot. he'll wake up, interact, then go to sleep, but when he wakes up again its like waking up for the first time again. he just can't retain memories for a bit. he's got some severe brain fog. his mood is also kinda fucked with - he's uncharacteristically irritable with low patience, etc. these are all things that clear up with time, but in my mind Wally has chronic migraines going forward. bad ones! and there are days where it's harder fr him to concentrate. and yk. a teeny bit of chronic pain where his shin bone was pinned back together and where his hand was essentially crushed. but other than that he's fine going forward! good days and bad days!
but enough about that! You Want To Hear About Sally!
i imagine that she becomes quite successful in the theater industry. i'm not too familiar with it myself, so i'm gonna be uh. Vague about it? but she starts her own theater troupe - it's a bit of a commute from home base to the town she works in, where the theater is located in, but she makes it work! of the group, she's probably away more than any of them. working on shows, traveling to work on other ones - i like to think she's been on Broadway! she probably has had opportunities to do tv/movie acting, but idk... i feel like Sally would be like "nah. live shows or nothing". maybe at some point she takes up voice acting gigs, as long as she can do them from home. she probably has her own little room-turned-VA-studio thing. idk how that works either! it seems right! but yes Howdy's store's automated messages and advertisements are in Sally's voice. she's probably picked up a temporarily modeling gig here and there.
so Sally is very very busy. Poppy is supportive. everyone is, and they all love to help out when they can - and reel Sally in when the "stardom" starts to get to her head. they do their best to acclimate to occasionally getting jumpscared by her voice in a grocery store or in. idk. fashion shoots. victoria's secret billboards. that last one was a joke! maybe. i think she would.
i also like to imagine Sally like... getting some sort of award and then spending a solid five minutes naming her friends, thanking them with specificity, and then plugging their own stuff. they probably have a rotation for who accompanies her as her plus one for events and parties she may or may not be invited to. she's not like... a Big celebrity but! she's Known and Liked! she has Connections! i like to imagine her and Wally looking dapper as fuck at a Venue...
so the friend group typically stays together, with Sally going off to do her Things the most. she makes sure to schedule time to be with her friends and girlfriend/wife/Poppy between work and gigs and etc. she somehow finds a balance with Ease. or apparent ease... someone get this girl a vacation...
#lmao now im thinking about them all scheduling a joint vacay#sally is having the time of her life getting to Relax and just Pamper Herself#everyone else is also greatly enjoying the break#except howdy. he's a mess. to him relaxing is working. things are too calm. too quiet. understim effect x100#on that vein ive been thinking about a covid arc and its. Funny#and domestic!#where are the covid fics of characters getting stuck together during lockdown...#rambles from the bog#wh modern human au#but yes been thinking about the au a lot#ive decided that wally does eventually get a job that he actually Enjoys!#previously he was just doing his indie art and such. bc he'd try a job and be like 'wow. i hate this. this is stupid. bye'#his art brings in more money anyway. he's living that miraculous imaginary life where art provides reliable sustainable income#enough so that barnaby doesn't need a full time job! bc this is fiction and i want them to have an easy life#in this specific area anyway#i would like them to live in a world where its slightly kinder... the housing crisis doesnt exist... one can live on minimum wage...#also thinking more about their homes and such. etc!

I stumbled across your Two Boys and Their Cars AU for the first time in a while and I forgot how much I love it! I'm curious. With the little nuggets of info that Steven drops by accident, what would Stan's running theories be about his home life? Would he think he was part of some sort of cult (like because of the gem names), or maybe a crime ring (because of the many people who have tried to kill him)? What would Steven's thoughts be about Stan's past?
Also, Steven has NOT had a standard childhood in the slightest, which probably skews his perceptions of normality a lot. What things/situations do you think would come as a suprise to Steven?
Hello hello! I also forget how much I love that au sometimes, I want to revisit it soon :P
Currently, Stan's running theory on Steven's home life is that his mum dipped when he was young (since Steven never really talks about her without an air of profound sadness/regret), and his dad was pretty absent until Steven starting being 'openly effeminate' (remember, this is like the 60s/70s) and he kicked him out of the house. Stan knows the situation wasn't good, due to all the attempted murder lol, but he has his suspicions that the fantastical stories Steven tells about his extended family and his adventures are just ways of coping and protecting himself from the horrible 'reality' of his life.
Steven doesn't have a whole lot to go on in terms of Stan's life, since Stan is very tight lipped due to it still being a fresh wound. He knows that there was a sibling involved just based off Stan's protective instincts, and he knows there wasn't much nurturing in the family since Stan flinches at true emotion. Other than that, and without much practical experience with typical family structures, Steven finds Stan to be hard to read.
In regards to normality, Steven is at a double disadvantage due to being 1) pretty sheltered, and 2) out of his time period. There are things he's been taught, especially relating to emotions and the expression thereof, that just do not fly in the time of Stan's childhood. He's also very openly himself, which makes people generally uncomfortable. There specific social cues he doesn't pick up on as a small-town kid, and a lot of the surprise on his end comes from people not reacting the way he expects them to. He also finds oddly mundane things to be fascinating, like a long stretch of highway, or a biome he's never seen, or laundromats. One of my favourite scenes in this au (as of now, unwritten) includes them both going to a science museum and checking out all the cool things inside!
And then the angst happens after that lol

Hi hello pookie
:glancescutely: Your Highly Unconventional KC.
Gimmie gimmie.
jk i just wanna know the science/reason behind KC's "cold to the touch even when overheating" function teehee
is it just cz he's a lunar model, or could be his magik?
either way, gimmie gimmie omnomnom
(me literally having been pulling up your account *while* walking out of work cz i was thinking about this when doing closing duties, im hungry, feed me Peepaw Alex)
Okay so actually there is reason to my whimsy. I have very specific temperature headcanons for the DCA, and it's generally due to being a solar or lunar model. It just is my own little teehee, but I'll list them out from hottest to coldest (I'll even include the AUs (and mine), and also the computers bc they're modeled after DCA.). Degrees are in Fahrenheit.
Also, this post is gonna be fucking long. The temperature reactions are based on a human reaction, for reference of just how hot/cold it is.
115 and above: Extremely hot. It would feel painful to touch almost immediately, risking burns with prolonged contact. Kronos (Lord Eclipse)
110: Very hot. It would feel almost painfully hot, like touching something straight out of a hot bath. Francis - Helios (Dark Sun)
105: Very hot. It would feel very hot to the touch, and uncomfortable to touch for too long. Eclipse - Dawn (Swap Sun)
100: Hot. It would feel very hot, like holding a hot water bottle. Milo and Ilo (OG Computer AIs) - Dolus (Supernova - Eclipse)
95: Hot. It would feel hot, like touching the side of a mug of hot coffee. Solar - Moros (Servant Eclipse) - Morpheus (Supernova)
90: Warm to hot. It would feel hot but not painful, like touching warm skin. Spaniard - Chips (RESET - OC Eclipse) - Helios (Supernova - Solar)
85: Warm. It would feel quite warm, similar to touching something that has been in the sun for a while. Sunrise - Solstice (Swap Eclipse) - Eos (Lonely Sun) - Sol (Supernova - Sun)
80: Warm. It would feel comfortably warm, like a warm bath. Solar Flare - Jack - Apollo (Ruin's Sun) - Freyja (Supernova - Sun)
75: Warm. It would feel slightly warm, like touching something that has been sitting in a warm room. Angel (Solar's Sun) - Cruis (Servant Sun) - Nebula (Supernova)
70: Neutral. It would feel neutral to slightly warm, very close to average room temperature. Cora (Swap Solar Flare) - Charon (Supernova - Sun) - Caeli (Supernova - Solar Flare)
65: Neutral. It would feel close to room temperature, neither warm nor cool. Ruin - Earth - Gaia (Evil Earth) - Geb (Supernova - Earth) - Janus (Supernova) - Vixen (Supernova)
60: Slightly cool. It would feel mildly cool, a bit cooler than room temperature. Lulu (RESET - OC Lunar) - Space (Swap Earth) - Artemis (Ruin's Moon) - Khonsu (Feral Moon) - Lola (Supernova - Lunar)
55: Slightly cool. It would feel cool but not unpleasant, like touching something kept in a cool room. Moondrop - Selene (Swap Lunar) - Sanguine (Supernova - Bloodmoon) - Aporia (Supernova) - Ariadne (Supernova)
50: Cool. It would feel refreshingly cool, similar to touching a cold drink can. Bloodmoon (Blood/Harvest) - Nexus - Clementine (Supernova - Bloodmoon)
45: Cool. It would feel noticeably cool but not uncomfortable for short periods. Crescent (Solar's Moon) - Sentry (Swap Killcode) - Haze (Supernova - Lunar)
40: Cool. It would feel chilly to the touch but not painful. Prolonged contact might make your skin feel numb. Lunar - Vanth (RESET - OC Lunar) - Equinox (Swap Moon) - Eris (Supernova - Bloodmoon) - Luna (Supernova - Moon)
35: Cold. It would feel brisk and unpleasant but not unbearable for brief contact. Your skin would start to feel numb after a few moments. Styx (Lord Lunar) - Luctus (Supernova - Lunar) - Phobos (Supernova - Moon)
30: Cold. It would feel uncomfortably chilly, and your skin would quickly start to feel numb. Killcode - Huntermoon (Swap Bloodmoon - Hunter/Wolf) - Rigel (Supernova)
25: Very cold. It would cause an immediate shock to the skin, feeling like a sharp, biting cold. Bloom (Vanth/Moon) - Deimos (Supernova - Killcode)
20: Very cold. It would feel very uncomfortable, and your skin would start to go entirely numb after a short period. Frank
15 and below: Extremely cold. Touching this would cause a stinging pain almost immediately, and prolonged contact could lead to frostbite. Nyx (Evil Lunar)
To specifically answer why certain animatronic's outward temperature doesn't change, regardless of if they are powered off, overheating, in a freezing environment, etc. Yes it does have to do with their composition, which might be affected by magic or even star power.

Terrible plans
The first time they met was at a bar. She was on Midgard try to avoid her brother and his friends; avoid their never ending need to be on this quest or that. It didn't help that today was one of the days she couldn't stnd the thought of being male, it had been building all week. Thor like always was entirely unbothered by this fact, calling her sister instead and going about as usual. His friends on the other hand- well the less said about them the better in her opinion.
He was leaning against the bar, one drink in and and flirting with a couple mortal women. For obvious reasons this ment he reminded her something of Fandral, the only member of the warriors three she didn't entirely hate.. Her next thought however was that they shared very little similarities when it came to appearance. The man was tall for a mortal thought not abnormal so. With short cut brown hair and grey-blue eyes, he was handsome she decided, not bulky like the warriors of Asgard but fit and lean in a way that said he most likely knew how to fight.
Which was why she couldn't help playing a little trick on him. It was a simple trick one that didn't really require seider, a mortal could do it if they were skilled enough. He had noticed her staring, and they held eye contact for a while before she smirked. Turning away she vanished in to the crowd, the fact that the bar was well packed making it all the easier.
She wasn't leaving, there would be little point to her trick if that was all she did, instead she snuck up behind where he was standing.
"Another brandy please."
She called out to the bartender, enjoying how her voice made the man beside her jump. She smirked at him, her eyes conveying a small amount of mischief. After a second he let out a low whisle.
"That was some trick. You definitely got me good."
His face was all smiles now, before he wave the bartender down and ask him to put her drink one his tab.
"My thanks."
She said her smile softing, but he shook his head smile still on his face.
"No need, I'm James Buckman Barnes, but everyone just calls me Bucky."
James said after a moment.
"Kiol Silfur."
She responds, it's not her true name but it's certainly close enough. James smile again.
"So Doll how do you feel about a dance."
"I'd say that sounds quite enjoyable James. "
.....
Loki pauses his eyes drifting back to his brother's mortal lover. He hadn't been trying to hurt Thor when he told him to say his goodbyes. Even if she survived this mortals lived such short lives... this was something he knew from experience. But then again it wasn't as if Thor knew about James, and while there was a certain star spangled man who also remembered him as he was Loki wanted nothing to do with a man who could not even protect his own sheildbrethern, noble sacrifice be damed.
Au Loki met Bucky back before the war. They dated for a while and at some point Buck even proposed. The problem was Bucky only knew Kiol, so worried Bucky wouldn't except her/him Loki doesn't answer and instead returns to Asgard leaving him a note. [I think that perhaps I do love you James, but you do not know me as I truly am.. I won't return for a great deal of time. If your heart has not changed and still does not when I tell my truth then you may know my answer to be yes.] When Loki comes back five years later the war is over and James has been declared dead. It doesn't make much difference as far as the time line goes until Thor: Dark World. Where instead of immediately going back to Asgard and taking Odin's thrown decides to visit Earth, or more specifically a certain person's grave. The idea is that he was in fact stabbed so, between being slightly weaked and distracted because 70 years is all that long for his people, Hydra ends up grabbing him. Where Loki ends ups catching a glimpse of the Winter Soldier before and after a wipe and comes up with a really terrible plan to save James. Hydra doesn't have a way of truely stopping him from using his magic, but between drugs and a extremely strong shock collar they can stop obvious magic, and they just sort of assume the drugs keep him from thinking straight. Which is probably true considering his plan to help Bucky is to plant suggestions in the Hydra scientists studying him. The idea of breeding a superior super soldier using him or rather her at the time and the Winter soldier. So while their "breeding" them in the most literal sense Loki uses his magic to begin healing James' mind and more importantly place a protection against the wipes. It doesn't immediately make a difference, and Captain America: Winter Soldier still happens. But Bucky comes back for him/her/them and the story would go from there.
Loki’s terrible plan- get myself knocked up by my ex maybe sorta fiance to save him from the psyco spy organization we are both trapped in. Good thing I'm a shape-shifter.
Like all my plot posts I may or may not write it myself at some point but I posting this in the hope that others will use my idea to make something amazing.
Kiol (anagram for Loki) Silfur ( Silver in Icelandic)

ahajsksbywpqp sat guess who has 2 tests in the same week in the same class next week. Not very fun for me. anyway I was think abt Kafka (honestly when am I not is the real question). See if it wasn’t Kafka in ur au and I was r I would definitely turn her in for the money, but I unfortunately think I might like Kafka just like a little bit ig so I don’t think k would be able to do that .
Reread part 3 today is her fingers twitching bc she wants to shoot something or is it just bc Kafka and her fingers. Ok thats not what I meant but also…what I meant was that she works with her fingers a lot I wish she used them on me instrument, guns, etc. we still haven’t gotten an in game Kafka appearance w an actual violin, it probably won’t happen but I’m still holding out. And she’s the highest threat level possible for a criminal but she STILL commits petty theft. She is so I saw someone say that the stellaron hunters were all siblings, Kafka and blade are like the older siblings that have to drive/pay for everything, silver wolf is the gamer (so original) and firefly is the youngest. Wish they had more in game interactions, or like they had synergy, meta wise, since canonically they’re one of the most tight knit groups.
oh also your inbox must be full as fuck so it’s fine if you don’t reply to everything, esp bc you answer a lot of stuff, and even tho someone already said this ur rlly great to talk to ur thoughts are always more coherent than mine. And we all get to simp over hot fictional women together.
ngl I might start playing ptn, like I’ve been seeing screenshots and…wow, I don’t think I have enough storage tho. I think the two types of characters I usually like are tiny mentally ill ones and hot evil women, so…
im so sorry my messages are always so long btw, I keep rambling 😭
-🌠
aaaa study well and good luck for your tests!!! hope you get a good grade and if u dint i will hack i to your prof’s computer and change it for you
im with you entirely, if it was anyone else in that story i wouldve already called the cops LMFAOOO kafka gets privileges because shes hot and my fav unfortunately… for the finger thing, i think its just one of her quirks! in her idle she mimics playing the violin and like you said she has very dexterous hands (even mentions it in a voice line) so i think she’d absentmindedly move them around when her mind is elsewhere. this is the kind of overthinking i was talking about, when i map out a character in my head i think about the most irrelevant stuff that dont matter😭 but imo they add to her charm a little and make her a rounder character, idk. AND YES i love that her crimes go from suicide inducement to petty theft shes so ridiculous hfjfhdhfj that time in her character story where she just walked in a store and took clothes off the rack then left in front of everyone… shes funny as hell😭
i see the SH as family too! silver wolf and firefly are sisters to me, and both of them are def kafka’s little sisters. i think silver wolf is the youngest though, she even gives off sassy youngest child vibes. i wish they could work together too, having them all in one team would be so nice. but it’s also cool that each of them has a speciality, it makes sense for the work they do
my inbox is full i think i have around 70 asks rn…😭 but to be fair a lot of them are veryyy old i just havent gotten around to cleaning up my blog yet, i’ll do it at the same time i change my masterlist and actually make it pretty to look at. i usually try to click on notifs as soon as i see them but like i said, i just forget to type my answers </3
and omg. anon. if your type is mentally ill and hot evil women ptn is literally the game for you. there is an abundance of mentally ill women in there, trust me… like there’s every kind of character you could want in that game— you could give me a specific type and i could find you a character that matches it, you should definitely play. and if you do, do it before the second anniversary ends (starts around mid/late-october) bc trust me you are gonna be upset if you miss shalom :/
dont worry abt ramblingggg i love talking to u and answering every point it’s really nice!!

So like while I was gone I got into Utena and specifically fell in love with Shiori and Juri. So three months ago, I wrote a little au where Shiori wrote Juri letters and Juri only gets to read them in their old age. It is not set in the canonverse (maybe more of a modern au).please excuse how rusty I have become.
Arisugawa Juri, 70 years old, renowned fencer and in the eyes of a the public a spinster . She lives in penthouse appartement. The biggest appartement building in the city. High enough that the hustle and bustle never seemed to reach her. She has a balcony she would spend her evenings on, looking over the city with a cup of tea. Isolated except for her equally old cat and the frequent visits of the friends she has made over her life. It was a good life with many regrets she didn't wanna think about. Until one day a box arrives
Letter 1:
Dear Juri,
I wonder if you hate me. For lying, for stealing him. When you see me with him, does your blood boil? I hope it does. I hope you hate me as much as I hate you. Because I do hate you Juri. I hate that it seems like you float through life so effortlessly. I hate how much you shine. I hate your smile the most. The one you only give to me. I hate it. Because I know you pity me. For not being as good as you, or as pretty or as popular. I know. So please hate me all you want, because if you don't I will hate you more.
Shiori
Letter 2
Dear Juri,
I wonder if you despair because I know your secret. Will you throw your locket away now? You haven't yet. It's been days too. Do I have your heart so tightly in my grip that you cannot throw me away? It makes my chest feel so light. Knowing that I have won. I wonder if I get closer to you, will you be able to resist me? Hey Juri, if I give you a sliver of affection, will you cling to it? Should we do a little experiment, Juri?
Shiori
Letter 3
Dear Juri,
I do not understand you. Why do you never push me away? Have you deluded yourself that you love me this much? I do not get it. Do you truly not see me as I am? Are you like those guys who just see some version of me I have constructed for them? Do you see me as a pitiful girl that could never act malicious? Am I too innocent in your eyes? Do you think I love you too? I truly do not get you Arisugawa Juri.
Shiori
Maybe I will finish it eventually but I thought I should post it here too
#shiori takatsuki#juri arisugawa#revolutionary girl utena#shoujo kakumei utena#utena#my writing#i don't really like it#but i wanna try writing and posting my stuff more

Massive Spoilers for Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3.
Okay, I know Tony Stark's sacrifice at the end of Endgame was tragically poignant and befitting of Tony's character arc of turning from war profiteer to hero.
But what if The Infinity Stones, more specifically The Soul Stone that had Natasha's spirit in it, tried to change Tony's fate by using The Time Stone to send Tony back in time before the backfiring of The Infinity Stones could take effect,
Specifically, back to when batch 89 was created by The High Evolutionary?
Imagine him seeing baby Rocket and thinking to himself "I have a son now."
Imagine him holding baby Rocket close and humming Country Roads, Take Me Home as a lullaby to his new adopted raccoon son.
Imagine baby Rocket's first word is some variation of dad (like papa or dada) and Tony is trying not to cry with a combination of pride and joy for his son.
Imagine him also deciding to protect the 89 batch since they are his son's friends.
But this AU has a bittersweet conclusion.
Tony, knowing he's living on borrowed time but not wanting to leave his son in the care of The High Evolutionary, sets The High Evolutionary's base to explode and evacuates every single innocent creature The High Evolutionary was experimenting on, including the batch 89 who are the last to board a ship in the docking bay.
Unfortunately, The High Evolutionary enters the docking bay just as Tony is about to board the ship batch 89 are on.
To buy time for their escape, Tony says "Go fly in the beautiful sky without me." and battles The High Evolutionary in the docking bay while Rocket starts the ship up.
Tony is mortality wounded during the fight and sets off the explosions when the ship carrying the 89 batch is far enough away to not be caught in the blast.
Tony dies from his injury before the explosions reach the docking bay but not before answering The High Evolutionary's question of "What are you doing?" with
"Preventing you from harming my son or his friends ever again."
Meanwhile, Rocket is flying the ship but puts it on autopilot after hearing the explosions and looks out the window to see what remains of the place he grew up in. At first, Rocket has a look of shock on his face but eventually tears begin to pour out from his eyes as he screams out for his dad.
Eventually, he decides to listen to some music and notices one of the folders in the MP3 section is titled "Songs for my son" and he decides to play songs from the folder.
The folder has bunch of songs from the 70s, the 80s and even the 90s with the latest song released being an acoustic cover of You'll Be In My Heart from Tarzan.
He also notices that there is a video in the MP4 files called "Farewell" with his dad in it so he decides to play it.
The video has Tony recounting multiple good memories the two shared as well as reassuring Rocket that he is worth far more than The High Evolutionary saw in him.
He also apologizes for leaving Rocket via dying saying that if he could've stayed a little longer than he would have.
Finally, he ends the video by saying "I know you'll survive whatever happens next. I will be watching over you in the endless sky."
Rocket smiles and says "Thank you, dad."
As for how the AU changes the MCU, Rocket would have his batch 89 friends alongside Groot and they'd be a mercenary group called The Endless Sky.
Rocket would be slightly less cyclical because he has his friends but still hardened by growing up having to be a mercenary in order to make ends meet because when Tony died, J.A.R.V.I.S wasn't online so he couldn't transfer any funds to a new account for Rocket.
Peter discovers that Rocket is carrying a MP3 player and headphones in his bag but Rocket refuses to answer where he got it so Peter assumes he stole them.
(He actually bought them with some money he got from his mercenary work because he didn't want the songs connecting him to the memories of his dad to be subconsciously tainted by the kleptomania he developed as a way to survive)
When Yondu dies in Vol 2, Rocket actually allows Peter to listen to one of his songs and actually talks about his own dad with Peter and says "I wonder if Yondu is talking with my dad in the endless sky."
The only members of The Endless Sky who don't die in the snapture are Rocket and Lylla.
During the five year time period between the snapture and the main plot of Endgame, Rocket notices the physical similarities between Tony Stak and his dad, not realizing that they are technically one in the same, and thinks that Tony Stark is his dad's twin brother and asks Tony if he had a twin brother.
Tony is confused but Rocket pulls up the "Farewell" video on Tony's computer that Rocket had saved on a USB drive. Tony, knowing that Rocket would never believe him if he told him that that was probably another version of him, lies and says that he had a twin brother. Rocket explains his relationship with his dad before asking if it's alright if he called Tony his uncle.
Tony, wanting Rocket to have some family after most of his found family were lost because of Thanos, allows Rocket to call him uncle.
When Tony sacrifices himself in Endgame, Rocket is upset at losing his uncle but decides to be strong for the remaining members of his family.
GOTG Vol 3 goes way differently because The High Evolutionary is no longer in the picture.

🍰🧠😐 for the Fanfic Ask Game please :>
🍰 Name one of your fave comfort fics (doesn’t have to be your all time fave).
Have a couple- TUA fic not my own... man hard to choose. Obviously Shifting Mirrors is up there. Along the Corridor and Up the Stairs by @ancientstone is a classic one, too. TUA fic of my own is absolutely A Rusty Cog. I miss writing that fic, not because I really have more to write of it but I miss being in the headspace thinking about it. A great outlet for a melancholic mood. Still one of my favorite things I've written.
Non TUA Fic, forever and always Walking With a Ghost/Running With a Ghost (Being Human UK fics), and unpretty's Sorrowverse DC fics, specifically Christmas in Kansas and Third Wheel
🧠 What’s an idea you have that you can’t quite call a WIP yet?
I've got so many half-baked things sitting in my WIP folder. It's getting a little ridiculous (I just checked and there's 37 WIP files in there what the fuck). A lot of them probably aren't going to ever really go anywhere, but they're in that folder with the little snippet I've written. A lot of them spawn from playing around with ideas with @non-plutonian-druid. Highlights... There's the Centaur AU (Pluto's art all with that found HERE) where the Umbrellas run into centaur!Delores. There's the Number finds out about/meets mannequin Delores. There's the Amanda meets Old Five while he's out on a job in the 70s because Number fucked up some time travel. One that I've never even written is this whole plot where Amanda gets kidnapped with Five as collateral, Five gets drugged so he's loopy and useless, but Luther, Diego, and Klaus come to rescue them. Amanda meeting our Five with Number is in the same Nothing Written boat. Got too many WIPs and ideas and so little writing happening.
😐 What embarrasses you most about your own writing?
Man, I think the same stuff that embarrasses most writers. If I get too aware of what I'm doing, how often I use certain phrases or words, I overthink and get self-conscious and embarrassed about it.
There's also the funk of just being embarrassed about people irl finding out I write fic, even though there isn't anything to be embarrassed about - I've written a fucking novel! Two novels! How many people can say they've done that? But I think I've still got that Was In Fandom In The Late Aughts baggage when fanfic was more taboo and cringy in mainstream instead of the normal thing I guess it is now. It's a thing I'm working on.

Grace Hanson + 1, 7, 10, 11
oooh flashback, fun!
1 ...why I love them, like them or hate them.
oh man. grace was such a delight of a character. i never finished the show but i adored watching her grow. learning how small she had allowed her life to be and then deciding to make it bigger is such an incredibly aspirational thing, and to see that portrayed by a 70-something-year-old (iirc) woman is so incredibly rare? also jane fonda was, of course, spectacular in the role. but just, grace, blossoming, letting herself have emotions. beautiful. love her.
7. ...the scene that I think adds depth to their character or the relationship this character has with someone.
okay, it has been a long time since i watched an episode, i'm sorry to say. so i can't remember a lot of specifics. but i think it might be a moment from the pilot, where she says to robert something about how she thought what they had was enough, and robert says back something about how he wanted more. it's so clear that she never imagined wanting more, whatever that means to her. anyway i think i wrote about 28k of an AU basically from that kernel, because it was such a marvellously crystallized moment of understanding and realisation.
10. ...if I liked them immediately or if took a while before I warmed up to their character. Alternatively, if I disliked them immediately or if they lost my trust as their story progressed.
i don't entirely remember, to be honest, but i think it took me a little while to warm up to her. by which i mean a few eps as opposed to love at first sight. part of that is because the show took its time fully unravelling her. certainly as a character i love her a lot more in the middle seasons than in the first, but even in the first, she's so wonderful. i did not finish her story but when we left off, i was a big fan.
11. ...how well I actually understand them. Do they feel like a very vivid character to me or are they kind of bland and hard to get invested in?
ohhhhh i get grace, for sure. she has a spectacular character voice, so she's fabulous to write, and she's so well-drawn once we get a couple of eps in and start figuring her out. her whole backstory is portrayed so well and she makes a perfect amount of sense. i really should go back and watch the rest of the show, sigh.
ask me more things!

it's kind of weird to think about dnd modern AUs with the gnomes specifically, because they're all ~young adults, physically and developmentally around my age or a little younger, and in a dnd setting that's the strongest angle I have to work with for roleplaying them, but also if my vague idea of a modern au takes place [handwaves] now, more or less, then felix and mel would have both been kids in the 60s and 70s and have a bunch of cultural life experiences I cannot relate to at all
#'this guy's basically 22 but also very literally old enough to be my dad' feels more real when you slot him into a modern timeline lol#I can't think about it TOO much because the modern au isn't a clearly defined world but more an aesthetic concept to play with casually#and if it's an analogue for modern america the idea of gnomes and elves and magic existing would have Implications#but it IS funny on just that surface casual level; most of my blorbos are around my age so it's easy to imagine their modern au upbringings#ALTHOUGH ACTUALLY I've been playing dnd for so long that I am now TEN. years older than june. she's my baby brother's age! she's a zoomer!!#is that more or less weird than melliwyk being ten years older than my parents 🤔#also I'm now older than all my non-gnome OCs who were older than me to begin with... ahhh#I could still have gone to school with elyss or aubree but only just. we wouldn't have had any classes together#TIME.... is WEIRD......!!#my OCs#melliwyk#felix
