Y’all telling me that Stranger Things has a whole plot line set in Russia, and that in Russia yellow flowers represent sadness, dishonesty and when given to a partner an inevitable breakup?!?!?!?💀

Oh Michael…

Ira and Dina/Ai WIP drawing-

Not me having an au where Dina has temper issues growing up so she grows close to her siblings best friend whom is the literal embodiment of wrath-

especially if Johnny tries to make her be a princess-

Ira is big brother material.

Who is a more terrifying flower than Flowey? I mean flowers aren’t usually scary. Besides from poisonous ones. Hey what’s scarier than a Nerium Oleander. (Can kill on touch)

Sat politely ankles crossed hands folded please say you have more thoughts about the DC deweys. Lazarus pit cold-eyed stare pristine and bloodthirsty anyway I would love to hear any further thoughts if you have the time + energy + motivation

how i imagine you waiting for me to re-read the resurrection of ra’s al-ghul and hush vol. 1+2:

ALRIGHT. in no particular order, thoughts about the dc deweys

connor fits very well into the mold of a talia al-ghul for me; chip on his shoulder, femme fatale, deadly and precise. he’s not the loudest but he’s got a dry wit that’ll cut you!

“why is connor an al-ghul at all and not batman” well first of all he’s already got the water connection, i’m gonna go dip him into the lake a couple hours north of the pas to make him incredibly long-lived, rejuvenated and beautiful

second of all i want him to be a questionable villain/antihero because he looks evil in those pictures but like beautiful evil. you see him at a multi-million dollar soirée and he’s bored of being there wearing his “heritage” beads and jewels he originally had from a thousand years ago. he and his assassins are only here to murder the head of state who’s planning to lay a pipeline through ancestral grounds

rip brandon duhaime i simply cannot imagine you as any kind of batman. lacks the gravitas, too much of a yapper, loves his wife too much. i curse thee to be green arrow if you’re in this narrative at all

assuming connor stays with toronto, would LOVE to think about toronto as one of the sites of the lazarus pit for many reasons

(a brief aside here to say that for me personally this is interesting if connor goes to winnipeg because i think they suit him better, he’s a manitoba boy, but re: the chip on his shoulder, he’s NOT a manitoba boy. he’s from the pas and very proud of it)

a) the amount of ‘toronto is the center of the universe’ hockey creation myths i can play with & birth/rebirth/reincarnation. if you WANT to feel unhinged trying to blend hockey and comics is an ice rink not just a pool of water?

b) mr. cathal kelly i love your works!!! toronto eats its young!!! thinking about this very literally in the sense of the resurrection arc where players come to toronto and are sacrificed, give up their body, their skill, in service of the demon’s head, and lose themselves.

c) we see echos of the same narratives and styles over and over again—if i can hop over to the flyers for a second, there is of course the curse of the *8s (18 richards, 28 claude, 48 danny b, 68 nolan, 88 lindros) but ALSO the danny brière -> tk -> morgan frost celly chain. every generation a resurrection, emerging clean and new from the pit

can you just briefly hold my hand and imagine wayne gretzky as an evil ra’s al-ghul wanting to possess a new body. gretzky i’m sorry to malign you and i know you never played in toronto but you are the best player in my head to fit the idea, i’m open to other suggestions

coming BACK to green arrow dewey (i did not re-watch arrow or re-read those comics sorry) connor could also be black canary, who takes a brief dip into the lazarus pit (toronto) before getting married to oliver. i do like that narrative but because we were talking about pristine and cold-blooded i figured connor dewar head of the league of assassins was more what you were after

now that i’ve gotten through world building… choose your own adventure narratives?

hockey-ish au: connor chosen as a host for the Next One. i think the lineage of the great one -> next one -> next next one -> next one up of gretzky -> crosby -> mcdavid -> bedard is taken, BUT i can imagine that the league of old boys all have the same intentions. connor gets sent to toronto unknowingly being prepped to get body-snatched by ???? and brandon duhaime of course accidentally stumbles on the plot and they have to fight to stop it

connor assassinating people :) snapshot of the head of the league of assassins delegating which major world events they’re going to change today. would love his shark face from the gifset to have blood spattered across it, ideally.

version 1 as head of the league of assassins: brandon is one of his assassins, big strong bodyguard type. devoted to him, would lay down his life, perfectly designed for connor (lady shiva/cassandra cain-ish). connor orders for something to be done and brandon does it there for him then gently wipes the blood off his face and apologizes for being careless and getting him messy.

version 2 as head of the league of assassins: an actual plot where connor aims to assassinate SOMEONE but brandon gets in the way. they meet at odds as their respective roles (hero, leader of a crime syndicate) but are magnetically drawn together as their alter egos. eventually brandon puts together the pieces of the Big Evil and manages to (legally!-ish as much as vigilante-ism can be legal) take it down and the ending panels show a tentative friendship and recognition of potential shared goals

also, jaromir jágr is immortal. don’t know if this is relevant OR related but he is. personal hot spring lazarus pit?

um. thanks for coming to my 1.5k ted talk (including tags). what a way to moritz seider lore drop that i DID grow up a comic book nerd, lmao. thank you so much for enabling me <3 i'll be here all week thinking about which teams would get what rings in a blackest night au

NAMI NEEDS TO GO UP THERE AND FIGHT BIG MOM I AM SO SERIOUS!!! THIS IS A BATTLE FOR THE ROMANCE DOWN TRIO!! SANJI DO NOT DARE TAKE HER SPOT!!!

[midnightwind]

I love Dragon Age companion quests, but sometimes I wish we had more that didn't culminate in fighting a Big Personal Bad, you know

[unjest]

so. heres another one

this one took me like. probably >40 tries over the course of 4 days to get all the way through without tripping over anything too badly hence my little celebration at the end there lol

bit of backstory/context here: blackboxwarrior is my Ultimate Vocal Stim. its long and its complicated and i have a fucking AWFUL stutter so it takes some serious work to get all of it out which makes it perfect for me. you might notice that i start out relatively slow but by the end im going EXTREMELY fast. thats because this is what i also call a "momentum" song for me because there are a LOT of points where i cant help it but to speed up so if i dont start out slow it turns into vocal soup. which is typically ok for singing it under my breath but does NOT work for a recording. i also had all the vereses completely memorized but i had to reference the lyrics for the monologue- i think i have it memorized now tho because of how many attempts this took haha

@yukikorogashi asked: "Opacho~ What's yer favorite food?"

"Mmm…" In the middle of taking a bite out of the onigiri Itsuki handed her the toddler's chewing slows as her brows furrow in thought. Nothing immediately comes to mind at first, she's eaten plenty of different kinds of foods. Hao-sama liked traveling so she's been to multiple countries in her short life, and their group had been full of people of various nationalities. She can't really say she's got a favorite food though.

There's been lots of good things she's tried and many of them left quite the impression, but she wasn't very sure. Still, Itsuki had asked her and she didn't want to give a boring answer. Opacho takes another bite of the riceball in her hand and hums, deciding to pick a dish that she's had and likes enough to want to eat more than once. That's basically what a favorite food was, right?

"Opacho like Tlayudas!" She responds with a small smile, "it traditional Oaxacan food, Peyote used to make it sometimes for group! He told Opacho once that it similar to pizza or quesadilla, depending on how you eat it. Opacho really liked it."

my brain is fuckin blasting

[meatriarch]

listen - pre-house / shine / college au / modern / etc any good-end au, valentines day is galentines day for maria okay? that day is for her GIRLS and her GIRLS ALONE. so long as neither of them have plans with a partner that day? maria decks her apartment out in all kinds of cutesy hearts and bakes a whole bunch with connie and julie, if they feel up to it they cook a nice little dinner for themselves and just enjoy each others company before piling a whole mess of blankets and pillows and cushions all over her living room and camping out there while probably watching cheesy romance movies and getting wine-drunk.

if they wanna go out? they're doing each others hair and make-up and making sure they each look cute and pretty ( they always are! ) and they go out and have a fuckin' blast with each other all night ( sometimes accompanied, at a distance, by danny. watchdog who lets them have their space for girls night but will step in if they're getting bugged to no fuckin' end. )

otherwise? maria's valentines typically consist of her scouting all over austin, popping in and out of florists shops as well as the one she works at part-time, gathering up bunches of flowers and accents from each. if she can't find a specific flower she's looking for, she goes out to pick them where she knows they grow wild.

and she arranges bouquets for each of her friends.

connie's always has daisies and sweet peas. julie's always has a sunflower or two, zinnias, pansies. sonny gets sweet williams and purple alstroemerias. danny's has sprays of gladiolus with dahlia's. leland's always has yellow roses with soft-blue hyacinths and larkspur. donnie also gets sunflowers ( along with james & julie ) with roses, hyacinths or mums. james with his sunflowers and pink tulips and cosmos. johnny gets red roses, red dahlias, and red mums.

her friends / partners each get their lil bouquet from her, each wrapped together in matching paper, with a whole mess of baked goodies and chocolates etc in cute valentines containers ( maybe even some cheesy silly valentines one-liners in handwritten cards, you know- ).

ana's always has white tulips, violets, and crocus flowers. mama flores always gets her favorite flower - lisianthus. (:
