one of my favorite domestic darkling headcanons is that he’d join the local old ladies’ knitting club and have a blast gossiping with them and causing untold chaos
#he comes home to mal and alina like guess what my best friend lydia who's 98 years old and knits the best boots in town just told me?#and they'll be like who the fuck even are you?#aleksander morozova#the darkling#shadow and bone#sab#grishaverse#myramblings#malarklina#alarkling#darklina#malarkling#darkblade#guys why do we have so many shipping names??#this is the au where they're all immortal and living in a cottage near a small town but that's not really relevant

most unrealistic part about npmd is that 1) all of these teenagers know the name of the mayor of their town and 2) him being the mayor brings his daughter any amount of notoriety or popularity
#One of my best friends is the teenage son of the mayor and no one knows or gives a shit#I mean not my mayor#We live in different towns idk the name of my mayor or any of his kids#It’s just so like#Baffling to me#Maybe this is a where I live issue#But i guarantee almost none of the teenage population that lives around me knows who tf the mayor is#Npmd#nerdy prudes must die#“Stephanie lauter the mayors daughter” no teenager would say that

YOU'RE RIGHT WHAT IF THIS IS A TWISTED IRONY OF GETTING WHAT YOU WANT. MACAQUE HAS THE POWER TO KILL WUKONG OR MK FOR REAL THIS TIME??? but he doesn't want to. what if he's forced again. what if this power has the potential to destroy him to be removed/stopped from affecting others?
….so about Wukong’s death flags— *gunshots*
#‘Fluffy they’re not going to kill swk’ BUT THEY DID TRY TO#AND RHEY KNOW THEY CANT#NOT AT THE VERY BEGINNING#this is Sun Wukong the Monkey King we’re talking about. he can’t just die willy-nilly! no no no!#but he is in the mentor role#and he is also a character who knows too much#something no character wishes to be bc that means you’re a problem to the plot#now how does one solve this? well the easy answer is killing them off. but as said before: this is Sun Wukong#so they incapacitate him —> he is conveniently not in town. he is stuck in power draining webs. he used up all his power to break a seal#etc etc so on and so forth#and then you have SWK talking about how long he’s lived and they show his exhaustion and his wistfulness for the past and such#and then we have the story edging closer to the underworld#and then we are in the underworld and they can’t touch him bc he crossed off his name.#and then we have Macky an old friend of swk turned enemy turned semi-ally for MK’s sake#he starts off the show wanting to use SWK’s power to kill SWK#he fails obvi but still#then we learn that he made a deal with LBD that she’ll free him and yada yada such as life and power if he frees her (which he doesn’t)#but still#two times we see Macky’s crave power and seek revenge on SWK (lbd uses his anger at swk as motivation with the deal)#THEN WE HAVE S5 ANS FHE WEIRD WAY MACKY’S MAGIC REACTS TO NINE HEADS AND THEN WE END WITH MACKY ACQUIRING IT???#what is the magic? idk some chaos magic that Nine Heads uses that mess with reality and such#So#interesting layout we have here 👀#lmk#asks#lmk s5#lmk season 5#lmk s5 spoilers#lmk season 5 spoilers#lmk spoilers

me and @tin-can-iron-man have created a new character that is "normal insta influencer except she's from latveria and accidentially becomes the de-facto PR person because her audience begs her to livestream herself asking victor questions during a doomsday parade and she does it"
#latverian insta girlie is SO funny to me#she doesnt even get famous because of this tbh. shes a normal vlogger#everyone thinks shes just living the ultimate cottagecore lifestyle#and then she is like. ok! today we're going on an outing!#and it's exiting because i get to show you hoverjousting! there hasn't been a tournament here in a while!#and the whole chat is just. wtf is hoverjousting.#or like. a POV we have to decorate the town for doomsday video#and everyone is like. wtf is doomsday.#and then shes livestreaming the parade and victor is going by in his car while everyone cheers#and some brave and foolish member of her chat is like ASK HIM QUESTIONS#and she does#just like. completely unafraid like HELLO LORD DOOM MY FOLLOWERS WANT TO KNOW YOUR FAVORITE COLOUR#also: her name is lillian and i love her

My grandma found a kitten and is bringing it to our house to “keep it until Monday when the shelter opens” $10 says we keep it cause I’m supposed to care for it and I know myself I will name it and pet it and tell my mom we will keep it in the time we get the kitten and I take care of it for ??? Until Monday I guess?? She’s bringing it tonight I think
Like look at this little nugget!!! My grandma says it seems tame, like a longhair, and she didn’t get a photo of it that’s not blurry so when she delivers the baby whether we keep it or not, I hopefully will get to snap some photos of it because it looks so fucking cute
#my son boy is distraught preemptively#although he would love a fellow baby to play with he’s two ish showed up in the yard like the new nugget baby did#we don’t know if we’re keeping it obviously#but look at the nugget baby!!!#the cat distribution system strikes again#this is the fourth animal that’s walked into her yard#she lives outside of town#two dogs and now two cats#we’ve kept one cat that’s my son boy#and she kept one dog and named him traveler she got him a long while back#the other dog none of us could keep him so he got adopted at the shelter#…personally I think we can do cat care for another baby#I deal with the ones we’ve got just fine

i seriously need to get a new job and start making money again asap bc i cannot keep living at home much longer it’s driving me insane
(wrote an entire essay in the tags without meaning to oops)
#i feel so isolated from everything bc i’m not in school rn but all my friends are and 90% of the ones who are in state go to the same school#so they’re all in the same town and here i am 45 minutes away#i never get invited to anything bc 1) my friends all tend to make plans really last minute#and 2) if we want to go out and drink - which we usually do bc that’s the stage of life we’re in rn - i’d have to stay the night with#someone bc i absolutely cannot afford a 45 minute uber home and most of my friends don’t like staying over / having people stay over#so i have basically no social life and it’s only gotten worse in the past couple months since i got laid off from my main job#not only did i love that job but i loved my coworkers and work was pretty much the only time i left the house and interacted with people#and without that job i can’t even do the little solo things i used to do to cheer myself up like go see a movie#or even just go for a long drive bc i’m broke (as in i have $17 in cash to my name and am like $1000 in debt rn)#so all i do is rot in bed all day and apply for jobs that i’m overqualified for yet still don’t get hired#i barely even leave my room bc i avoid my family which just makes me feel guilty bc i love my family#but they get on my nerves so easily and most of the conversations i have with my mom end in her lecturing me about something and me crying#and on top of everything it’s just straight up embarrassing to be unemployed and completely directionless about college and living at home#logically i know i’m still very young and it’s common to live at home when you’re 20 but literally none of my friends do#i had a couple friends who lived at home for the first 2 years after high school and went to community college but by now they’ve moved out#and they’re all at universities and either graduating this year or next year meanwhile the earliest i could possibly graduate is in 2 years#i should be finishing my junior year rn but i’ve only completed my freshman year#i hated the school i was at and planned on transferring sophomore year but long story short that didn’t work out#even longer story short i ended up doing a semester each at 2 different community colleges and failed all my classes both times#and took 2 semesters off so now i’m a full 2 years behind and even though my freshman year was miserable#i’m starting to wish i stayed at that school anyway bc at least i would be at a university and accomplishing something#plus theres a huge difference between staying at home for a couple years after high school then moving out later#vs living on your own right away then having to move back home after you’ve already experienced having your own space#and on top of everything i have an older sister who’s a literal genius and graduated last year#and a younger sister who just finished her freshman year at the school i hated but she loves it and got perfect grades and made friends#so they’re both thriving and here i am living with my mom and my 13 year old brother and just completely failing at everything#i’m just so miserable and obviously moving out again and going back to school wouldn’t magically fix everything#but at least i would feel like my life was going somewhere and i wasn’t getting left behind by everyone i know#i just have no idea how to move forward and i feel like ever since high school not a single thing has gone the way i wanted it to#vent

it's wild having a friend from your small ass hometown who you didn't know when you lived there. like I expect to see my hometown in pictures from my friends I met there/who still live there, but getting a Snapchat from a friend you met three years ago that contains a road you're so extremely familiar with is wild when neither of you have lived there in 6+ years
#nuance in the tags for context of how small of a town it is#we didn't know each other at all when we lived there BUT we have several mutual friends irl#and we had definitely crossed paths before like he used to work at the only game stop in a 30 mile radius#i actually told my mom about meeting someone also from [insert small town name here] and showed her a picture of him and her response was:#“oh yeah I've seen him before he used to work at the game stop!!”#additional unrelated context for how small of a town it is:#one of my high school acquaintances bought the house i grew up in and found a note i left under the counter#when my parents remodelled the laundry room when i was like 14#and she sent me a fb friend request and a message with pictures of it#we follow each other on Instagram now and i sometimes see my childhood fireplace casually in the background of her posts#it's weird to not be expecting to see it bc sometimes i'll be scrolling and recognize it before i even realize why/that it's her post

I think about that quote about indigenous people living in a post apocalyptic world everyday here, why are there no natives here, why does this town think its still in europe, why is there a land acknowledgment before the list of original settlers that make it seem like we're extinct, why am i the only indigenous person here and the only reason im here is because im working??? why am i the only indigenous person here and the only reason i am here is because i am working.
#like everyone says this is the best base and like yeah the beach is cool and all (if we arent busy) but im noticing a lack of indigenous ppl#thank fuck for the room having access to aptn for making me feel normal again#but like rn we're able to be in town since nothings happening atm and its scary how all the people living here are white people so strongly#proud of their families coming here from europe and have european flags up and all the names of the streets and the souvineirs and none of#the people here know we were here first.#like this town THINKS its still in europe and acts like it and ive only seen one other indigenous person but theyre just here for a day trip#but hearing that auntie laugh made me feel less scared fr#everyone hates on the other bases but tbh i think its just cause those towns are wayyy more native (thank fuck) and theyre haters#anyway still getting used to being the only indigenous person here esp cause they all hate indigenous people 👍#tjis is a VERRYYYYY touristy town too and since working as an indigenous tour guide tourists fuckinh annoy me

#for context my bestie told me like three weeks ago that she met this guy that seemed to be into her#she met him while visiting her dad who lives on the whole other side of town like 45 minutes away#then today a friend I’ve only met a few times and have mostly just texted a bit puts me in a group chat#with like friend of hers from various parts of town#who she wants to help her on a project#AND THE GUY IS IN THE GROUP#I didn’t even realize there was a boy in the group until we had to do a group video call and I’m like “A BOY?? 🫨 AN INTRUDER?”#and then he introduces himself and I recognize the name and I ask what part of town everyone is from#AND IT’S HIM#BRO?????#this is a guy I encouraged her to give a chance to and she was like nahhhhh#like. I teased her about him#and then I freakin meet him by a totally different mutual friend#insanity#elly's posts

actually despite being alive and in college and tuned in during 2015-2016 my first song association with "caroline" is still outkast as opposed to amine
#amine caroline was so inescapable in college town basements but we were living...........#it was also a private victory for me as i knew someone with the same name i had a HUGE issue with the year previous

Hello I am not dead I've just been sucked irrevocably into Stardew Valley by my friend who bought it for my birthday (and also Christmas, because my birthday is three days after Christmas, which is usually the way presents go for me and I don't mind). I've already put like 42 hours into my little farm in the forest and making friends with the residents and I'm having the most delightful time. Also my friend's boyfriend is purchasing a copy for my girlfriend so we can play together. What really sold her was when I told her we could get gay married in co-op. 10/10
#we cant get married irl but we can be married in stardew#i'll take it#we are both 25 but still live with our parents bc ~broken economy~#we're also holding hands in the closet currently so#though we arent super subtle and im pretty sure both of our moms know but are being respectful and letting us tell them ourselves#more of my thoughts abt stardew:#i used the character i created for my own story ive been working on since 2016 as my farmer and his name is vincent#so now there are two vincents in pelican town#vincent is friendlier in stardew than he is in my personal canon bc people arent trying to kill him constantly lmao#i fell in love with elliott instantly the second i first spoke to him#vincent also fell in love with him and is going to ask him out lmao#i also really love linus a lot#and shane is painfully relatable#i love everyone except for morris lmao#the man had the audacity to charge me 1000g for taking me five feet into my house after i passed out ON MY OWN PROPERTY#in his very miniscule defense it was winter and it is not safe to pass out in winter#but something tells me that might have happened no matter what season it is#anyway to conclude: stardew is very fun#it's also reminding me of ff6 in some ways#but everything reminds me of ff6#my post

on the topic of that post about traditions, i was also talking with some friends about how i really like the "modern traditional" aesthetics of overwatch. you can definitely tell its the future, but there's a lot of regional building techniques in places that allow it that also abandon western aesthetics in favor of embracing the culture of the maps area. i know it's to give each map a unique aesthetic and the creators were not thinking as deeply about it as i am, but i enjoy thinking too much. big central cities obviously need metal and glass and so forth to support the infrastructure, but on maps for smaller locations, you can see that they're made with mostly local supplies. it was on the mind because i saw a video about the stigma against grass thatched houses in africa and how theyre seen as a backwards way of living, when in reality theyre actually the most environmentally friendly way to make a house in the area and theyre also energy efficient. you dont need to run heating and cooling through a house that heats and cools itself, you dont need to worry about food spoiling if its kept chilled naturally, and you dont need to worry about costly repairs to your house if the materials are readily available. its trying to build every shelter in a western style to try to show the world that a place has been "civilized" that leads to the loss of efficiency and culture and history and a million other things. anyway i think im probably the only person who cares about the sociopolitical implications of the funny monkey with a laser gun game this much
#and dont get me started on the spiritualism and scientific advancements in that world#i was never involved in the fandom for a reason. everyone was busy making hunky boys kiss. i was busy dropping out of environmental science#in my head there is a beautiful future where no history was lost and where there is a major switch that is flipped and all of a sudden#infrastructure is made listening to the people who know the land and how to build on it while sustaining it best. in my head there is a#beautiful future where real estate companies can no longer pave over wetlands so long as they 'just build another one somewhere else'#because you cannot just build another one. it is an incredibly complex filtering system that you cannot just recreate by dumping water over#some grass and adding bugs and calling it a day. in my head there are no empty houses and there are town squares and there are gardens#in my head i live in a beautiful past where my great great grandma never had to take the name america smith!!#but here we are so we must destroy pavement heatsinks and tend gardens

It's fairly status quo for D&D characters to have dead parents, but June is an exception to the rule. Her mama is a wonderful tiefling herbalist who's running away from her life as a servant for a high-ranking military family of dragonborn. June is the bastard daughter of the patriarch of that family. I'll let you put the pieces together on that one, but June grew up in the Western half of the continent with her mother, which was similar to late 1840's-50's western North America.
#These drawing are a decent amount of time apart so i apologize for the change in drawing style and design for June's mother#also we have bebe june and maybe like 6 year old june here?#her mama's name is Alice Fields :)#June fields#tiefling#d&d#dnd#dungeons and dragons#dragonborn#the cart is the little traveling apothecary they lived in for a while when they lived a nomadic lifestyle#eventually they settle down in a little town in the middle of nowhere
