#that I'll vaguely answer

[nururu]

I truly think one of my biggest pet peeves is when you ask someone for details on something and they're as vague as humanly possible. I hate vagueness. I hate people talking AT me with zero context and making me ask 1000000 questions so I can understand. when they could just tell me from the start and be helpful and not make communicating a stressful challenging game. there's just some people, and it's so common too, who want to make communicating so hard. it's like a narcissistic game. I have really, zero energy for that kind of thing. it's really frustrating like damn just fucking be helpful or don't talk to me at all.

I love your au by the way but while I was looking through I haven't seen any grunkle Stan yet

Does he live at the mystery shack too? Maybe Bill convinced Ford to try to repair their relationship?

Or and I hope I'm wrong about this

Stan is in the portal and that's why Ford did the cool little mine deal

------

Oh, don't worry! Stan's there alright. He's just a little busy being digested at the moment. Hunger is greedy, after all.

Continuation from the previous what if All Men Are Equal gave Chuuya total control over his ability, reverting it to its pre-lab state.

Maybe Chuuya can do something different. Maybe he could give it a try. It's not like he's being held by the Agency, he's free now, it's all up to him.

But I'd say Chuuya has never quite had this many options to make his choice from before.

Nope, changed my mind, I'm not stepping into The Acolyte discourse today, you guys can go all in about how "this changes everything we knew" all you want, I'm going outside for a walk.

Progress Report;

FEB 2024 - MARCH 2024;

Hello all!

Took a sort of accidental hiatus for the month (I was still on tumblr, I just wasn't posting), just to make sure my busy schedule didn't overwhelm me.

However! That does mean I've got quite a bit of work done, both for university and tag :)

You won't be getting a 'done' and 'to-do' list this time, since it's mostly been admin and editing, but I will say that the chapter one update for tag will be coming out this month.

I'm hesitant to give a more specific date this early on, but I'll reblog this post with something more specific once I know.

hi i wanted to ask ur advice on something

somy parents bought tickets to the cursed child musical on broadway and i feel terrible bc jkr will be getting money but im not in a place to tell them to give them up (minor) and it was really hard and expensive to get tickets and they were really proud of it bc they know i like hp

but while i love the cursed child (scorbussss) i feel terrible

-🌸

HI ! i never normally reply to these kinds of asks but this wasn't a self purchase so hi ! i still have no idea how to answer it but 🫂🫂 because it's rough. i think nearly allllll harry potter fans have awkward situations like this. it took me monthsss to successfully explain to my partner that "yes, very cute gift thank you awh but also hi this profited her don't do that pls :("

because on one hand YAY they listen to your interest and on the other hand sighhhh they don't get it, yk? you don't want to seem ungrateful so it's a tricky one to navigate

i think this is one of those cases where they were misinformed and unaware, and that's okay! and i hope the guilt doesn't ruin that experience for you and i think it's really good that you're aware !! that's great, so the next step that i would takeee would be explaining to them if it's something you're uncomfy with. the tickets have been bought so it's down to you whether to go or not, that's okie and i reckon they spent a lot of time getting their child a gift they'd like SOOO i'd say just a lil chat to say thank you and this will be fun but for future reference, please don't buy official stuff.

which is something i still have to do with friends and family. i'm an adult so i do have the safety net of just returning things if they don't listen or matching the donation elsewhere BUTTT obviously that's more tricky as a minor and all you can really do is talk to them about it so that it hopefully doesn't happen again :)

all of that being said i do hope you have a lovely time !! scorbus on top, cursed child is so overhated 😖

[Promised Prince AU] moment where Magalor gets his relationship revealed to Kirby and Bandee on accident, expecting them to be really against it and hate him, only for them to be super supportive. After all, both of them have seen their fair share of villain-redemptions and if Magalor trusts Oakley then they can do the same. Honestly, I think the majority of the cast either wouldn't care, wouldn't get the potential danger behind it OR are still supportive anyway.

This is semi-canon(?)

--TLDR--

Dedede says "I don't get it, but ok!"

Meta is trying not to judge while lore dropping

Bandadee is questioning the logic of everything

And Kirby is just happy for the Magolor ^w^

tell me about crossnamera. To be honest, they’ve never really clicked with me but the fic I’m planning has them be together and I wanna do it well.

Okay, so this will probably be long.

For me, one of the things that make me love crossnamara is about the trust they had with each other.

We don't know much about their relationship pre-portal: Wilbur was MacNamara's mentor, he taught Macnamara all about the creatures he would later leave him to serve. By the way they speak about the other, they might've spent a lot of time together, working on different missions, getting to know the other. Maybe they shared some drinks, maybe they shared some secrets that no one else could understand. After all, not everyone would believe them if they talked about the paranormal, the extraterrestrial or the interdimensional.

Moreover, they might have had other secrets they shared. On one hand, MacNamara is confirmed to be queer by the Langs. On the other, Wilbur reads as the same type of antagonist as Owen, that is, a queer villain (I hc there's something funky going on with his gender too, but that's for another day). By being two queer men working for the government in the early 2000s, they could not only see someone like them (as people wouldn't be as out as they are today), but also they could see someone like them in a field not made for them. They'd have another person to go to.

However, what makes their relationship so interesting to me is how, even if there is/was a deep bond between them, their convictions are greater than any of their feelings. Wilbur will always turn to the Lords in Black, as he believes they'll liberate him and humanity. On the other hand, even if John once loved the person that called himself Wilbur Cross, he'd never let the world die for him. Their love is very important, but, when the chips are down, it won't make much of a difference. Maybe their conversations will be softer, maybe they'll kill the other in a fastest way than they'd do with others, but facing their former partner won't make them stop.

Although during their face-downs they will do what they have to do, I also think they are haunting presences in the other's life. MacNamara sees Wilbur in new cadets and old threats, remembering the person he knew before the portal. Wilbur remembers the man he once trained when he tricks younger folks to enter a world too big for them. It's about absences, and what might be built on them (I also love the headcanon that Wilbur and John switched tags before the portal incident and they've kept them).

TL;DR them..... I need the Langs to give us more info about what happened in 2005, because there's so much (angst) potential.

Oh hang on. Krow to Redacted.

‘ thank you for caring like nobody else ever has. ’

Soft spot prompts | No longer accepting !!

"...'Could say the same about you."

Black nails trace over the inked skin of Krow's back as a soft expression pulls at his pierced features. He's thankful that they can't see his face right now, though [REDACTED] couldn't help but want to see their own expression as well. So instead, he lets his fingers ghost along the fallen feathers near their side; down, down, down until he reaches the lone egg.

His lip tightens at that.

Unwanted memories start to resurface, and the sudden urge to crack an ill-timed joke — perhaps something about nuggets? — becomes apparent. Anything to change the mood and draw less attention to the uneasy feeling that was ebbing and flowing from inside him.

And so, he thinks about Krow instead. About how he's always been there for the dark-haired hacker — and for being the only one to help dissuade [REDACTED] from committing to his made-up persona, and to convince him to go back to his real, true self instead.

The true side of him that hasn't been seen since they were both children on a playground... And the true side of him that his own parents tried to hide away.

[REDACTED]'s fingers unconsciously chart a path towards Krow's hand this time, intent on searching for the gold band he gave him when they were younger and much more innocent. And when he finds it, he pulls the artist's hands towards his mouth to press a soft, chaste kiss against his knuckles.

"You'll always mean something t'me." A kiss against his shoulder blade this time, "Always gonna be with you."

And finally, a kiss on the lips to seal his promise.

So I don't ever think I got around to posting about this au outside of the yuri discord

(tumblr I beg of you don't butcher the already shot quality i am STRUGGLING here) Here are my very rough concept sketches of my esmp/life series Merlin au!!

It follows Lizzie as our Merlin as she attempts to protect the kingdom of Camelot (and reluctantly Gem) despite her very existence being something that could lead to her death.

Obviously Lizzie is Merlin, a sorcerer sent to Camelot to train under the court physician as well as attempt to reign in her natural magical abilities

Gem is our Arthur, princess to the kingdom and trained since birth to be a warrior as well had a strong hatred of magic instilled in her

Scott is Morgana, adopted brother of Gem and secretly a sorcerer who lives in fear of his own abilities. Choosing Scott as Morgana mainly pulls from his elsa arc in esmp s1, having magic seemingly uncontrollable and coming from nowhere.

Cleo is Lancelot. This is solely because I thought it'd be funny to make her a. A Zombie Cleo. The joke is stupid but I'm running with it

Pearl is Gwaine!! I didn't have any real reasoning besides that I thought her character could fit with what the bbc show did with Gwaine's character

If y'all are interested in hearing about anything about this au feel free to send me an ask! I have alot of general lore and ideas cooked up atm between potentially writing a fic and drawing more art

What do you think the wizards heights are? (Including Valtor if you cover him) 🙏

Okokok so the problem is that I am a supporter of making the wizards of the Black Circle tall, and I mean Tall, Dark Souls bosses type of tall- But y'know what's stopping me? The thought I could never fit them into a car. Mhm.

I mean, not just that, kinda, more like 'how would they function in a normal setting and could they live under humans like that', because apparently that matters to me. Even if the thought of them having gone "so far off the deep end" that they just don't fit in with humans anymore after everything is a little delicious as well. Basically, I would make them unreasonably tall if I cared like 20% less about normalcy. That being said? Here are some rough height estimates I'm thinking off, in no particular order-

Starting out with Gantlos because I simply will not shut up about how I think he should be a big lad, the biggest, even. The actual reason for that though is like, y'know how in Resident Evil Village you have Lady Dimitrescu ends sentence there and the way she has to bend down to go through some doors? That has altered my brain in a normal way. I am normal. Now I'm not saying Gantlos is that tall, as previously mentioned, sort of. But having to duck just a little bit when going through the average door? I'm not above doing that. Sorry. I think that would put him lightly above 7ft (well over 2m). Was he always that tall? Probably not. Is it doable? Eh, it's what I'm leaning towards right now, that's usually how it goes.

Paragraph over! Moving on to Ogron!! I was considering making him the shortest, you can disagree and be happy I changed my mind, you can be disappointed too- That man wears heels either way, so it's whatever no it's not I still think about him being the shortest sometimes. What position is he in right now? Um middle. Yeah. Like obviously, I guess, but I'll explain why it's a little confusing in a bit, let's say he's somewhere 6'4ft (1.93m) and 6'7ft (about 2m) maybe?? Pulling these numbers out of my ass don't even worry about it-

Now here's where I start making things really complicated for myself for no reason fr! Because!! Duman's height is all over the place. I don't just mean this in a way where sometimes he's literally a rat or bear with those matching heights- The height of his own form also just. Depends on his mood?? There's days where he's the shortest and days where he isn't. Rarely below 6ft (1.83m), never taller than Gantlos (Dumanic bat form not included, that shit is Large, but currently also unspecified). It just be like that sometimes. Any specific reason why I forced that onto him? Nuh uh definitely not.

Basically, Anagan is left as the shortest whenever Duman isn't. That's what we're going with rn. That's where we're at. He's not short though, just compared to the others ig? Put him next to the average man and he still has a couple of inches probably maybe- Are you starting to notice that I know very little about height because I feel like that seed had been planted in the first few sentences already.

Am I legally allowed to speak on Valtor's height? Will I be hunted for sport if I put a take out there that's not appreciated? Taking the absolute coward way out and saying I think he'd be shorter than Ogron, but above Anagan? His demon form is bigger than Duman's though, so there's that. Cough.

Will I be sticking to the order of this? Who knows! The actual numbers I did specify? Highly doubt it! But for now let's put it like, tallest to shortest:

Valtor demon form >> Duman demon form >> Gantlos >> Could be Duman >> Ogron >> Could also be Duman >> Valtor >> Duman again >> Anagan >> Duman sometimes

Okay that's all bye

Who is Danny’s most underrated rogue and why is it Walker

You are so correct. I can't say I've seen Walker as anyone's top favorite and he's about as underrated as Freakshow-- but like Freakshow we sure do appreciate them giving us more solid reasons for someone to hate Phantom. That's not to say that his main appearances in the show don't seem decently recieved, but that he never fit that fandom sweet spot of there being enough questions or intrigue over his setup or personality.

But Walker's "There's all kinds of prisons, kid" is such a good setup. Most of Danny's rogues gallery don't go after his personal life despite knowing who he is. He's not as invasive as Vlad, but it's exciting to see someone who really takes advantage of knowing where Danny's home is. It's fun to watch another villain employ psychological warfare.

And most importantly: Walker wins. He's not a beat-them-into-the-soup-can-and-done villain of the week. Or a Danny can wish-everything-back-to-normal one. Walker's actions don't get to be wiped clean the following day. The game changed when he made Phantom into a pariah.
