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"

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.”

Steve has wanted a rabbit since he was five years old and his kindergarten class went to the zoo and he got to hold a small grey rabbit with the softest ears imaginable.

He even asked his parents for one. But his mother said it was "frivolous" and why would he want such a dirty barnyard animal anyway? And his father said no son of his would ever own such a prissy little animal in the most disgusted tone of voice that Steve never asked again.

But now he and Eddie have their own apartment and he hasn't spoken to his parents in two years and when Eddie catches him staring wistfully at the little balls of fluff hopping around in the pet shop window one day, he manages to coax the whole story out of him. And when Eddie kisses him softly on the forehead like he always does when Steve shares some fucked up bit of his childhood, Steve feels another piece of his heart mend, like he always does when Eddie is soft with him.

What he doesn't expect is Eddie to then pull him into the pet shop and demand he pick whichever rabbit he wants. Or for Eddie to ask the girl working there what they'll need to keep a rabbit in their home. But he listens very attentively to everything she says and half an hour later, they're driving back home with a trunk full of hutch and litter box and food and toys and hay and the tiniest pet carrier on Eddie's lap.

He picks a black one, for Eddie's sake, although it has the littlest spot of white right in the middle of its bitty head, like a tiny kiss mark (Eddie's expression turns oh so soft when Steve says that). When Steve quietly asks Eddie what he thinks they should name it, Eddie immediately suggests Paul.

"Like Paul McCartney?" Steve asks, confused why Eddie would reference the Beatles.

"No, dude, like Paul Stanley, from KISS," Eddie says, accompanied by the most over dramatic "my boyfriend has no taste in music" eye roll.

And then they catch each other's eyes and start laughing so hard Steve almost has to pull the car over.

So now they have an apartment and a rabbit named Paul (McCartney/Stanley) and as they sit curled up together on the couch watching the little guy explore his new home, Steve doesn't think he's ever been happier.

Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7

ao3: And Rabbit Makes Three

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

"I'm a spy, not a politician. That means even I don't know whose side I'm on."

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

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

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.

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
