AO3 is down and so is my Wi-Fi so I’m writing Nimona headcanons to cope

When Nimona is in a bad mood she usually wants attention and affection so she’ll shift into her cat form and sit on Bal and Ambrosius 

She knows they would never move her even when she’s in her human form but she feels like being a cat is just a bonus 

The first time she sat on Ambrosius' shoulders when she was in a bad mood he cried for like three hours 

When Bal has a bad day he goes nonverbal and collapses on the nearest comfy area 

He doesn’t care if it’s his bed the couch or a pillow on the floor he’s laying their face first and not moving until he feels better

It’s not uncommon for him to come home and just plop down on the couch even when Nimona and Ambrosius are sitting there

And they won't move him either they kind of just accept their fate and continue what they were doing to the best of their abilities 

When Ambrosius has a bad day he cleans 

Like obsessively 

He won’t stop until every surface in the house is spotless and there isn’t a single dust particle in sight 

The only room that he stays out of is Nimona’s (half out of respect for them half out of fear of what he would find in that room)

Most of the time when he feels like the house is up to code he’ll be too tired to move let alone think

And that’s when Bal and Nimona set up their super secret evil plan

Bal forces him to get comfy on the couch while Nimona plays his favorite movies and gives him his favorite snacks

It’s truly diabolical but it’s also what Amrbosius does for them when they’re in a bad mood so they feel no guilt  

Sometimes when he’s feeling especially shitty Nimona will shift into a dog and let him cuddle them like a big stuffed animal

So I was just reminded sometimes cats will sit on your injuries and purr because they think it makes you feel better (and as a cat owner I can confirm it does)

When I remembered this I was thinking that Nimona would subconsciously shift into a cat and lay on Bal’s arm or Ambrosius' shoulder when they’re in pain and just purr 

And they swear that it helps every single time (kind of like a mom kissing her kid's injuries)

Ambrosius will always use people's full names when he’s pissed at them

I don’t know when this idea popped into my head but I’m just imagining Bal and Nimona chilling outside until they hear “Ballister and Nimona Boldheart get your asses inside now!” from their house

And their neighbors watch as some of the most powerful people in the realm scramble to run inside 

Most people would assume that Nimona would either stay where they are out of spite or fly away  

But they’re so caught off guard because Ambrosius always calls Nimona “Nim”

Plus he’s made Ambrosius mad enough times to know that if he apologizes enough times and makes Bal give him the patented “Puppy Dog Eyes™” he’ll fold like a lawn chair 

Nimona calls Ambrosius “nemesis” for two reasons 

The first one is he thinks his name is stupidly long (and Ambrosius agrees) and the second reason is he thinks it sounds cooler (he agrees again)

Plus it’s also hilarious to imagine Nimona yelling “Nemesis” while running full speed at Ambrosius and then tackling him

Sometimes they knock him on his ass and sometimes he picks them up and puts them in air jail

[grandcovenant]

geppetto is so bold for bringing up that p hasn't inherited carlo's memories from his ergo as a negative point like that's not the luckiest thing that could've happened to him. can you IMAGINE if that puppet had actually woken up with carlo's full aware consciousness running it.

Is Tigran's backstory of being his aunt's bookie still a thing? I've been thinking of that one pic of him(?) playing a lyre with a nervous expression on his face but is that him anymore?

"an ex-monk" makes me wonder how things have worked out between then and now

OK so the thing is. The main focus of this setting was originally the story called Blightseed, which The White Calf was a prequel to. Tigran was one of the Whitecalf characters who shows up in Blightseed. When I started actively working on it again, I ended up being wayyyy more attached to Whitecalf and focusing on it entirely, (I've also done more to develop the setting in this single year than I have in like, the rest of the 10ish years of its existence). So a lot of that stuff from a year+ ago is tenuously canon at absolute most and should be disregarded.

I don't have the full ending ironed out beyond the major plot elements and most of the character's specific fates are undecided to the point that I'm not even sure of all their survival statuses (Janeys and Brakul are currently in a Schrodinger's Buried Gays situation where they are either both Extremely dead or Extremely alive, Faiza is like 95% dead, Palo, Tigran, and Hibrides are alive, Couya is the only fully decided main character because she ends up becoming a god-emperor and antagonist for a hypothetically existing Blightseed story).

I will say the broad strokes of that outcome are still VERY likely for Tigran. He ends up being a (mostly unwitting) accomplice to a devastatingly successful coup and will probably choose to go into hiding rather than deal with potential longterm consequences. There's a high chance of him ending up as a long haired bleach-blond with torn out piercings and gambling issues working as a bookkeeper/errandboy/musical talent at a brothel, paranoid that someone's gonna come after him and convinced that he's cursed.

Meanwhile, on Earth-17...

The Daily Bugle: Oscorp's Campaign to Legalize Poly Marriage By Mike Robins, junior writer.

In a recent tweet (screenshot included below), Oscorp CEO Harry Osborne confirmed that Oscorp is a major funder for NYS House Bill 2024-S1048 to add marriage between more than two people to the state constitution.

This following the public, on again/off again relationships Osborne has with childhood friends Mary Jane Watson (a Bugle alumni), Gwendolyn Stacy (drummer and singer of punk trash band The Fight), and Peter Parker (failing inventor).

It is as yet unclear how much money Oscorp is funneling into the bill, but one could assume the answer is far too much. It is also unclear why Oscorp would contribute any kind of money towards a political cause, as the tech company has been very careful to stay out of the political world.

It's "a cause very close to [his] heart," he states in his tweet, but does not provide further clarification as to why.

Is this Oscorp's way of getting into the political sphere, or is this Osborne's way of announcing to the world that the nature of his relationships is different to what we've all been assuming?

I want Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker to have an MJ the same way I want Tom Holland's Peter Parker to have a Gwen or a Harry. These are important characters and I want to see how they would be adapted into and change their respective universes. But the way people are approaching Webb!MJ after no way home leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I don't like the idea of Garfield's Peter getting back to his universe and looking over his shoulder for any redhead with the initials M and J because it reeks of soulmates, of Peter being innately special. Mary Jane Watson is not special because of who she is but because of what she does. Like Peter 3 literally says in no way home "she was my MJ" and Gwen fucking was! She was that important, she did not exist in the narrative to die but to live. MJ is not set dressing, she's not a piece of the Spider-Man story no different than the spider bite, she is an active part of the story she develops Peter, and Peter develops her. They are not fated to be together because this is the story of Spider-Man they choose to be together

Wait a second... hang on im making connections....

Katabasis is a descent into the underworld done by heroes of greek/roman epics. A crucial moment in the hero's journey often to seek guidance from the dead or to attempt at bringing someone back. Nostoi is a homecoming, a narrative specifically abt returning home.

Gregor falling into the underland (unintentional) and bringing his father back to the overland, spending the entire time just trying to get home. The prophecy doesnt really matter to him, he just wants to get his dad and go home.

And he does! But he chooses to go back down over and over again, going to a place full of wonder and danger and war and becoming a hero, losing his way home even tho he finds his way back to the overland in the end. The underland being so connected with death that when he chooses it and the people within in, he struggles to live in the overland (and struggles to live at all without ares).

Im barely coherent im just thinking abt the influence of these narrative devices in this series.

drawing for a scene in the TME light novel (specifically, Paris helping out Lyla!!).

I drew this scene immediately after I read it because oh my god of all the things I was expecting from Paris's first introduction, him lending a (unneeded) helping hand to Lyla was NOT what i thought his first introduction would be like
