[halfbaked00q]

office work CC culture is so funny to me. sometimes the person you email just CCs a random person or several random people in with no explanation, and you never find out who these people are or why they needed to be included in. They never say anything. Do they even read these emails? maybe it just clogs up their inbox

Also funny is ppl who care about the nebulous hierarchy of importance or power as represented by listing order in CC. OBJECTIVELY funny thing to get worked up about; and yet, some people do

I can't decide if Q should have no opinions on this, or sets of Highly Nuanced And Specific Opinions about it.

Maybe it's both-- *he* doesn't care, BUT he knows exactly who DOES, and absolutely weaponizes it when he deems necessary.

for example

"Dear Quartermaster,

Thanks for taking care of xyz! Just as a gentle reminder, emails should be listed in the CC field in order of importance of the receiver's role in the project.

Best regards,

Janet Walker"

"Dear Ms. Walker,

Thank you for the very valuable contribution on this highly significant project. However the receivers list was correctly configured. If you have concerns about the division of duties within the project feel free to discuss this with your supervisor offline.

Have a good evening,

Q"

Like. it's gotta be fun, right? to be able to snark so openly but plausibly deniably. It's, like, recreational. Like if you're gonna PVP *him* about it oh boy you better be ready to catch rocks.

For te character ask: gimme Starscream (TFP), Dead End (cyberverse) and Drift (mtmte)

:3💖

Ajfldksjlf you somehow managed to pick three of the five characters that I’ve been really rotating through my brain this past week so thank youuuu I had a ton of fun with these :3 enjoy the headcanons!!! 

Starscream (TFP)

Headcanon A:  realistic

When Starscream gets over himself and stops fussing over how to make himself look as good as possible, he’s actually a pretty good leader who’s skilled at managing all the small details to accomplish his bigger goals. Starscream himself doesn’t know this though, because even when other people genuinely think he’s doing a great job, they keep it to themselves for fear of inflating Starscream’s ego. (It’s Soundwave. He’s people.)

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

Starscream’s opinion on humans goes up from “occasionally amusing but overall useless life forms” to “extremely grudging fear respect” after that time Miko stole the apex armor from him and beat him up. Obviously Starscream doesn’t reveal this shift to anyone, but after some observing Raf figures him out. He chooses not to tell Starscream that Miko is an outlier and most other humans wouldn’t be able to kick his ass, because a) it’s an advantage he can maybe use in the future and b) he starts laughing to himself whenever he thinks about it.

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

Starscream is desperately touch-starved, and craves physical intimacy and gentle touches. Alas, after everyone he’s lost and everyone who’s hurt him throughout the war, he never allows himself to be that vulnerable with anyone ever again. He does his best to keep everyone, no matter which side he’s currently playing, a careful arm’s length distance away.

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

Since it’s canon that Starscream likes to browse the internet, my possible-but-still-probably-unrealistic headcanon is that Starscream is pretty fluent in internet memes and slang. He expects Soundwave to know a lot too, since Soundwave monitors everything, but Soundwave tends to filter out anything he deems pointless and that includes anything to do with human internet culture. The first time Starscream brings up a meme in reaction to one of Soundwave’s audio clips, he gets a very confused blank stare in response.

Dead End (Cyberverse)

Headcanon A:  realistic

Dead End is bad at forming close friendships, mostly because his unending pessimism tends to eventually put people off, but he’s actually pretty good at initiating small talk and making superficial acquaintances. That’s why he’s on speaking terms with most of Decepticon high command and makes a feeble effort to save them from the Loop. (Feeble because, well, being on speaking terms with them doesn’t mean he actually likes all of them. Case in point: Soundwave.)

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

As they slowly get to know each better by virtue of forced proximity, Dead End and Hot Rod both come to realize they actually have a lot in common: they’re both the “shoot first, ask questions later” type of bot, they’ve both got quick tempers, they both like to keep their finish as pristine as possible, and (although Hot Rod tries to pretend this one isn’t true) they’re both prone to negative introspection when things aren’t going their way. Rather than bringing them closer together, this realization horrifies them both and they silently and mutually avoid bringing it up, ever.

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

I touched on this in my deadceptor fic, but reiterating it here with more heart-crushing-ness: Dead End doesn’t regret choosing to abandon everyone and leave the universe with Megatron. It’s not that he doesn’t care about everyone else, and if they were all hurt or killed by the Quintessons he would’ve been sorry that they died, but that’s not enough for him to feel bad about his choices. He’s not sorry about prioritizing himself and his own goals first.

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

Shortly after joining the Decepticons, Dead End developed a crush on Megatron. It eventually faded into strong admiration and loyalty, but Dead End still thinks the whole situation was extremely embarrassing and would vehemently deny it to anyone who asks.

Drift (Mtmte)

Headcanon A:  realistic

Drift’s ongoing “see who gets more kills in fights” contest with Rodimus was actually his initial idea, not Rodimus’. He came up with it so he has something to focus on while fighting (keeping track of his increasing number of kills) and he doesn’t lose himself in a mindless rage the way he used to do as Deadlock. He only meant it as a one-time thing, but competing with Rodimus turned out to be so fun, and Rodimus’ sulking face when he lost was so funny, that Drift brought it up again the next time.

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

If a normal bot was fully aware that Ultra Magnus hated them, they’d do their best to stay out of Magnus’ way and avoid doing anything to piss him off. Drift, who is far from a normal bot and more mischievous than most people think, conspires with Rodimus to play really stupid pranks on Magnus like adjusting the lighting to be a few degrees brighter than regulation and using incorrect punctuation in his submitted reports. Drift thinks of it as “if Magnus thinks I’m the same kind of idiot as Rodimus, then he’ll stop seeing me as a dangerous Decepticon.” Rodimus just thinks the whole thing is hilarious and is glad that he isn’t the only one getting yelled at.

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

Drift treasures every close connection he’s formed in the past and present—all the people who saw something good and worth saving in him. But after he defects from the Decepticons, he starts chasing that kind of close connection with a secondary reason: yes, he still desires that intimacy, but he’s also looking for people to devote his life to. Drift sees offering his unquestioning loyalty as a way to atone, and if he ends up dying for someone, then, well, it’s what he deserves after everything he did as Deadlock.

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

A leftover habit from his days as Deadlock means Drift naturally has a very exaggerated fighting style. Think dramatic twirls and poses, sword thrusts that are a little flashier than strictly necessary, brutal punches that hit where he knows will cause the most energon to spray out, terrifying smiles, etc. As Deadlock, it strengthened his reputation as a fearsome berserker and he revelled in it. As Drift, it’s mortifying as all slag. It takes him conscious effort to not fight like that, and he still sometimes slips into the habit by accident. Rodimus tells him not to worry about it because he thinks it’s cool. Many, many years later, Ratchet admits it’s kind of hot.

[pralinesims]

the real question I have, is how many of Maggie/Aaron's followers on social media spend their time shipping the two of them together/assuming they're secretly dating/waiting for them to get together?

I've noticed people do this on tiktok with people who make content together all the time, and I want to know if people do, and how Maggie and/or Aaron feel about it if that happens lmao

LMAO you know how people are on social media, humans do really reallyyy love to speculate & project on such things, so I would say that yes, just like you've assumed, a big amount of their followers think they're actually a couple, but just hiding it + another portion hoping for them to become a thing one day. Like, if one of them would say they're not actually are a couple, it simply isn't believed, or follows with people rooting for them lol.

BUT!!! THEY'RE TOTALLY AWARE OF THAT ASPECT and also like to bait people into thinking they have a thing for each other, as after all, they REALLY like to farm for reactions. Like look, these are the kinda pics they post??? You can't tell me they don't enjoy the rumor mill.

Which doesn't much help their allegations, or what I'd also like to say in Aaron's case, it kinda benefits him, as online he does mostly like to either hide or rather cryptically talk about the fact that he hasn't been much involved in relationship stuff yet (+ another relating fact, but Maggie DID offer him privately in a semi-joking manner to take his virginity, not because she is extremely interested in him, but bc she likes to believe this aspect is a small burden on him and she'd genuinely help him with her generous favour LMAO).

Their personal feelings? Well, Aaron usually loves the attention ofc, and Maggie thinks it's fun & hilarious to stretch it out this much.

❛ have i seen you before ? ❜ (to Billy Hargrove from Regina George @fxntasmagoria )

♡ First Interactions Starter Sentences ♡ Starter for @fxntasmagoria

Billy Hargrove had ended up in Evanston, Illinois when his family had moved from San Diego, California. It was either this place or Hawkins, Indiana. At least here, Billy was closer to actual cities and not stuck in some small, hick town surrounded by farmlands. Aside from that, there was Lake Michigan, which was probably the closest thing he was going to get to the ocean around here. While he couldn't surf anymore, at least he could still spend time hanging out by the water, which was the only semblance of calm he had.

He wore his leather jacket and aviators as he lounged in his car, a lit cigarette dangling leisurely out of the window. The vivid sunlight reflected off the metallic indigo hues of his sleek Camaro, and lyrics from Van Halen's 'Drop Dead Legs' spilled out of the vehicle. The unfamiliar voice drew his attention to the passenger side window, and for a long moment, he just stared at the woman with an unreadable expression. Leaning forward, Billy turned the volume down a little, then sat back against his seat as his focus returned to her.

"Doubt it," he responded nonchalantly, his voice low and smooth. Billy wasn't oblivious — he could tell she was the top of the social hierarchy here, and she was probably sizing him up. Whether that was for her own gain or because he was something new and exciting, he wasn't certain yet. After he studied her for a few seconds, he added with a hint of sarcastic amusement, "You the welcoming committee or somethin'?"

Glass Heart Hymn - Paper Route - 'Cain was angry, and he moved in a blood red fury. So now one brother's dead, and one brother's born... There's a ghost in the mirror, I'm afraid more than ever. My feet have led me straight into my grave. Oh Lord have you walked away? Oh Lord have you walked away from me?'

Epoch - Savlonic (The Living Tomstone Remix) - 'Everyone makes mistakes, I've had more than my share, but it's okay 'cause I'm gonna repair it. They say there are no retakes, but I just don't agree, no, this show, is of my own making. Take it back to the start, I've had a change of heart. I know we can make it better than it ever was, I know we can make it better.'

Foreign Air - Echo - 'I know it's bad, but it's good timing. I wanna be old because youth is sad. I count the minutes but I don't know why. Can I, can I get by as the future unwinds?.. Here we go again, let's all let ourselves echo, round and round again. Spinning in your head, let's all let ourselves, echo echo o - echo echo o.'

This Is The Thing - Fink - 'I don't know if you noticed anything different. It's getting dark and it's getting cold and the nights are getting long. I don't know if you even noticed at all.

Do Or Die - Magnolia Park & Ethan Ross - 'I walk in the building to burn it, setting a fire, they all getting murdered. I'm feeling my demons returning, fuck up again and I'm guess I'm not learning. Got the opposition nervous, y'all are really only tough on the surface. I'm living through all of these curses, bringing the pain and they know that I'm hurting. Not affectionate, my face is still expressionless, take his head off clean, Sleepy Hollow, I'm collecting it. Messing with a king, hit the dirt, you gon' rest in it. I'm meant for this, you try to take it from me, blow your head to bits.'

Are We Having Fun Yet - Negative 25 - 'I wanna be the thing you talk about, unhinged loose ends crashing on the couch. Outsider ponyboy can you keep it down?

What is your favorite thing about your muse, and why? What is an underrated fact or headcanon you have that no one knows/hasn't seen yet?

Ooooooohhhhh ~

My favorite thing about Kiki probably is how shamelessly honest  &  greedy she is. I enjoy writing 'bad' characters  &  Kiki is floating in such a gray area. I love how she embraces being her own person after working a decade for some guy who did not grant her a thing for herself. SHE IS SUCH A MAGPIE, she sees something she wants, she asks. What is the worst that could happen  ?  It is so fun to see her interact with different muses because we all agree, Kiki is weird  ( and gets so defensive when being called that ) . She is jealous  &  a little impatient  &  the whole road of learning to share  &  work in a group is wonderful to observe.

I don't have a headcanon but a couple of fun facts like . . . Despite being from Minrathous, you gain disapproval should Rook choose to safe Minrathous. Babygirl would rather have the city being destroyed  ( selfish, I know, it's because her former partner still lives there ) . Her own interests come first, sorry Neve. She is also MAD jealous of Emmrich at first, because she highly thinks people acknowledge him more just because he is a professional. Also, Kiki only sleeps around 3–4 hours a day. She is running on beak treats most of the time. Can't sleep.

monica & cyrus c:

ship meme : accepting !

who hogs the duvet - monica, cyrus rarely sleeps with a duvet on him, he just kinda passes out and stays passed out

who texts/rings to check how their day is going - cyrus, even though neither of them has downtime i feel like he's just a bit more inclined to do that sorta stuff

who’s the most creative when it comes to gifts - i actually don't know that either of them really are since they tend to opt for convenience on most things but maybe cyrus since he's the more... romantic... as of right now...

who gets up first in the morning - depends on who has the earlier shift. i don't know that either would get up early willingly if they can help it

who suggests new things in bed - cyrus, but only bc he's so *wiggles* eager

who cries at movies - cyrus T_T

who gives unprompted massages - cyrus, monica would give them to cyrus in like a "sit down, we're doing this" sort of way

who fusses over the other when they’re sick - monica. cyrus tends to fuss during the lead up to sickness (in the form of hounding probably)

who collects something unusual - neither

who takes the longest to get ready - monica on a proper night out, cyrus on a normal day

who starts the most arguments - i.... hmmm. historically they've both been equal.... i imagine that doesn't change

who suggests that they buy a pet - cyrus

what couple traditions they have - not really the type to have traditions. donuts are present in just about every birthday breakfast, along with coffee from their favorite respective shops

what tv shows they watch together - being the structured people that they are, probably proper series that come out weekly. thinking something like hotd. they enjoy the occasional comedy but not slapstick.

what other couple they hang out with - elira and josh c:

how they spend time together as a couple - studying/working together, smashing, cooking/cleaning, v domestic stuff. they do try and make it a point to go outside properly and get fresh air at least one day of the weekend if possible.

who made the first move - cyrus

who brings flowers home - cyrus, we know monica loves flowers on the bed and stuff

who is the best cook - both are okay, but probably not the best. cyrus tends to cook more meals than monica does.

👍-either Riku and Kairi for otp or Ryne and Thancred as father and daughter dynamic. Whichever one you are feeling more <3 have a safe trip.

Send me a 👍 and I’ll draw our muses as one of those “Draw your OTP like this” pictures | ✿

tfw you’re just trying to look up some current affairs and end up on a late night wikidive instead

[thats-a-lot-of-cortisol]

My mom just sent a message to the family group chat suggesting that my siblings download the 'For the Strength of Youth' magazine on their Gospel Library app and talked about how much the youth magazines helped her testimony growing up and like, cool. Fine. Don't know why the 'sending random spiritual thoughts in the gc' thing started out of nowhere when it hadn't been a thing for a decade but this is just another one of those, and you're ofc allowed to talk about things that are significant in your life.

I don't think sending the 'What I Did When Someone Close to Me Challenged My Faith' article right afterwards was strictly necessary though 🙃

[ shoulder ]  –  for the sender’s muse to place a hand on the receiver’s shoulder to comfort them, or stop them. (but like, apprehensively, from sakura to sasuke)

He's seated against the window, twirling a blade beneath the table as he looks around the dim restaurant. Naruto wanted to hold a -- he rolls his eyes -- reunion dinner between him and the rest of team seven.

He didn't see the point, they didn't even last a year. The blade keeps weaving between this fingers. He told Naruto it would be a waste of time. Undeterred as always, Naruto barreled on with this plan on his. There's no old days to go back to for them.

The only person that wants him around is Naruto. Sakura and Kakashi? Those bridges were burned at different points in his life, multiple times. He's not stupid to think Sakura or Kakashi want much to do anything with him. It's for Naruto, that's the only reason they'll bother to show up. As for his replacement? Who cares about him.

Still he's here, the first one because Naruto must be running late. The longer he sits ruminating in his thoughts, the more he stews on predicting how this will all go down. Simply put, it's going to be a shit show. Why stay for that? If he leaves, no-one will ever know he showed up. He'll send Naruto a hawk, telling him he had to go. Take care of some other shit that happily took him out of Konoha.

He slips his kunai back in his leg holster. Slides his foot to push himself up, until a hand lands on his shoulder. It's almost too light to notice at first, but the light squeeze that follows after catches his attention. Turning to look over his shoulder, eyes narrowed to glare the skin off--

They widen. Surprised, caught off guard.

"Sakura." Quickly his stoic mask returns as his eyes narrow again. How long has she been here? He doesn't ask, instead he drags his gaze to meet hers. Seeking for an answer there, but it's then he realizes he can't leave like he intended. Would she tell Naruto? Or try to protect him? That's assuming she knew he was leaving. Did she? Why else reach for him? Was her touch a warning or simply to make him aware?

His lips press into a grim line, and only part to expel a soft sigh. He takes his seat again. Propping his chin with his fist, he watches her.

"No-one else is here."

Cringetober 2023 Day 2

credit to @sleeprann for the concept and awestin martinez for this year's prompt list

Day 2's prompt is "Self Insert"

I chose to insert myself into Homestuck, because I'm still trash all these years later. Tbh self inserting myself into homestuck, or homestuck-adjacent scenarios, has been a long time escape daydream for me. I'm always thinking about how cool it'd be to become god tier and about all the trauma playing SBURB would cause lol. I like to imagine how I'd get along with the characters too. As a Homestuck character, I'd be good friends with John/June Egbert (windy buddies hell yeah), and I think somehow we'd both end up getting retcon powers and saving the day together (maybe I got recon powers first and I ended up in Homestuck proper thru shenanigans involving them? idk). I'd also be besties with Karkat. We'd develop some unspoken feelings for each other that don't come out until post-canon/Homestuck 2, and in the meantime I'd be with Jane til she decides to go for Jake/Gamzee and have Tavvi (who'd I'd eventually steal adopt as my son so he wouldn't have to have a fascist as a mother)

if you'd like to participate in the challenge, here's the prompt list
