[finniestoncrane]

had a productive little day!! learned how to do a new thing in excel for work, got a chunk of knitting done, worked on commissions and i think i might have the energy for a little headcanon this evening!!

i did however quit arkham city because i couldn't for the fucking life of me do one of those stupid fucking riddler campaigns and i was so angry i was literally ready to change the entire theme of my blog

Tbh I always saw the group carmilla was traveling with as a vampire coven and that. Idk. These vamps have rlly specific worldbuilding rules abt who they can eat or smth. but human cohorts is interesting

How I imagine the hiring process went:

Carmilla: "Hey, help me get planted into this rich guy's house so I can flirt with and drink his hot daughter to death."

Human actors: "Uh? No? Why would we do that??"

Carmilla:

Human cohorts, sweating: "Hi hello this is our very normal human daughter Millie Millarca Malarkey Karnstwhatever, can she have a sleepover with your daughter for a vague amount of time? Please say yes"

sometimes i like to think that even though Feyd and Piter never got along well, they sort of existed in a precarious truce, involving training and breakroom gossip. "being the baron harkonnen's youngest nephew will have you 16 years old with a ??? year old deranged human PC like damn where tf Piter at today"

i'm sooooo starved for Smeech content/headcanons/fics/etcetcetc in this fandom, like he is such an enigma of a creature to me (affectionate as I shove him into a microwave). He's a Yordle so he might have been around in Zaun for centuries, ever since its foundation. Maybe he's seen first hand how Piltover's pet Heimerdinger rises to the top, and yet spends his time as a councelor ignoring every single problem in Zaun. Heck I can totally see him resenting Heimerdinger to a murderous degree for that; a Yordle traitor who gets a nice academic status for himself and builds his glorious city of progress, but never uses all that power to help the other Yordles in Zaun. (I didn't even spot a single Yordle in Piltover while scavenging the backgrounds on my rewatches!!)

Considering how new Shimmer is in the series' universe by Yordle lifespan standards, that means Smeech hasn't been inhaling it for more than a bunch of years. What was his life before?? When did he decide to start replacing his limbs with machinery, to make himself stronger and feared by Zaunites? When did he become a chembaron?? Chemtech is older than Shimmer, so he might have been a cyborg way before the events of the series, but it's fascinating (and sad, not gonna lie) to me that despite being possibly older than any of the other authority figures in Zaun, he has never managed to rise to Heimerdinger's level. No wonder he's such a rage-filled poisonous critter, no wonder he wants to take the throne of Zaun at any cost, to be "the one smiling in the end". And yet, despite all of his efforts, he is still fueled by and addicted to Shimmer, created by Silco's goons. Forced to depend on a creation of humans, in his pursuit to become stronger than them.

(also while I'm not a fan of episode 7's happy AU universe cuz it all feels like simplifying and undermining the complexity of Piltover's oppression in favor of an easy good ending, it DOES make me wonder how Smeech's life would have turned out in a universe without Shimmer? We don't see any of the Chembarons in the ep 7 universe so it makes me curious)

This might be a hot take, but I think Sakuya is the most colon three Touhou character

WIP Wednesday

Sneak peak on a fic for @sky-kenobye. Contemporary Obikin AU! They're on a coffee date getting to know each other. ----

That smile flashes again, crooked, revealing a canine. It utterly transforms Anakin's face from Byronic moodiness to boyish charm. “Not the sort that’s interested in defying the laws of God and man to return the dead to life. Or in stealing the moon for vaguely undefined capitalistic gains. But I make no promises not to take apart the toaster if it starts giving lip.” 

“This is fair.” Obi-Wan nods, stroking his chin as if he’s given it much consideration. “I’m a streamer.” 

Anakin coughs, having just taken a swig of his orange juice. “I’m sorry?” He drags the back of his hand across his mouth. 

“A Switch streamer,” Obi-Wan clarifies. Does it make him a bad man for timing it like that? “A modestly successful one, though you certainly won’t find me topping the charts or hawking energy drinks. Though I may once or twice be forced to defend my crown, tourney-style.”

He’s definitely a bad man for enjoying how Anakin’s teeth drag over his bottom lip, eyebrows arching.

“What do you stream?” Anakin asks, naked curiosity in his tone. He’s not scoffing or calling Obi-Wan a boomer, which is promising.

“I do a variety of things.” Obi-Wan rotates his styrofoam cup around. What's left of the tea is dregs at the very bottom. “Some chess. Some go. Occasionally, a bit of retro gaming, providing insight into themes and motifs, tracing back the narrative DNA of our modern-day stories.” He waits a beat. “But mostly I’m called a heartless bastard while streaming my online DM sessions as I remind my players that actions have consequences.”

Guess Who? Global Series Panthers edition.

my favourite dynamic for dumb games that don't particularly matter is sore loser who's trying not to be a sore loser and man who acts like winning means he gets the keys to the city rather than just a participation sticker

Sometimes protecting your peace means blocking people who don't accurately tag fics

I love your art, and so I dare you to draw my specialest boy (John Hart) being a nuisance as he always is 🥰

they're flirting, it's fine, jack's fine, he'll be fine, don't worry about it

[cathymee]

maybe it's to maintain a sense of tension & turmoil that would eventually reach an explosive peak, a sense of tug-of-war, a back-and-forth to hammer home the ideals they want to deliver and for the viewers to chew on, but although these arguments regarding hiroshi & his stance as a man torn between his loyalty for his country & the loyalty for his Filipino friends and lover is of course important, how they write these scenes & the points they present from this week alone is getting too repetitive...? literally the argument scenes from last night & tonight between adelina & hiroshi is basically the same; the ideas were the same, the dynamics were the same: the aggressive, radical adelina, bristling rage and fear over the injustices she's seen thus far, and the cautious, inspiriting hiroshi, all hopefulness and reassurance one moment as a lover, defensiveness and sternness as a japanese soldier in another. this debate will be ever-present ofc, it is one of the series' biggest conflicts, but it is unfortunately so easy to tell when it is a.) being pulled up as a main topic to move the plot along / be a necessary conflict for character development/introspection / be the conflict to deliver the morals & messages the writers want to send to their viewers, or b.) when it is being pulled up only for the drama and filler to pass the time. like watching the characters sit down to argue for 10 minutes, do other things for the plot for 2 minutes, then sit down again to argue for the next 20 minutes. lol.

Not a day goes by where I don't quote something Rik related to myself. There is nobody like him

[muttsterion]

Do you think kenny keeps those grumpy mugs in the same drawer as his mysterion costume or does cartman keep them in his basement just so kenny can sip out of them while looking him in the eye during meetings

Great. Honestly can't decide which idea I love more. Either Kenny keeping a spot in the Mysterion dresser just for those mugs and he pulls out the drawer and there's his collection along with his costume. Or the idea of Cartman or one of Kenny's other friends keeping a spot open just for Mysterion's collection of grumpy mugs as to make sure he has one on hand.

Either way I could just imagine Mysterion glancing over the collection while pondering.

"Hmmm….which one do I want today….the "Everyone is an Idiot" mug or the one with the hand flipping everyone off..? Eh think the "Fuck Everyone" mug fits my mood today." XD
