they're so "sisters pitted against each other by their manipulative father who bond over how majorly he sucked ass after he's gone"
#and their relationship is still complicated#but they gradually start to warm up to each other#in small strange gestures#like getting the other's favorite smoothie while they're out#fixing a hole in the other's jeans#building them a goofy impractical badass casino arm because it was “something i could fix”#and they miss their father#but they can sit in the hole he left#while still recognizing how bad he was for them#and how bad they refuse to be for Isha#arcane#arcane spoilers#arcane season 2#arcane season two#arcane season 2 spoilers#jinx arcane#sevika arcane#jinx#sevika#isha#silco#jinx and sevika#jinx and isha

i can see 1980/1981 (around the time daniel turns 27/28) as being the catalyst for his relationship with armand starting to splinter, his resentment over armand withholding the gift coming to a head, the occasional running off and wandering starting before it starts ramping up in frequency. because it's when it really hits him that's where armand is frozen — 27 forever — and daniel's past that now. he's always been younger than armand both physically and mentally but now daniel's the one who's older physically. suddenly it's way more real that one day he'll be turning grey and armand won't and it fucks with him badly
#i think w book daniel starting out only 3 years older than armand's physical age he always had this sense of armand being eternally young#at first its not too bad but its a gradual thing that builds up with every birthday that passes and every year hes refused#every year he gets older and and older and older and armand stays the same#drifting further away#but with show daniel its like. he hasnt caught up yet#and then he does but armand doesnt move#meanwhile i think armand would be delighted seeing him reach that age; being allowed to grow#but its not what daniel wants#iwtv#armandaniel#devil's minion

I'm not sure I feel well enough to stand up but I want to run around being annoying. I think this is truly the source of all of my anxiety. I'm an animal designed to be physically clambering around shouting and kicking my legs in the air but I have No Fucking Blood with which to do it. the way glimmer will clearly like get bees in her bonnet and then need to do laps around the house about it? THIS HAPPENS TO ME ALSO I JUST AM NOT PHYSICALLY CAPABLE OF DOING LAPS AROUND THE HOUSE. torture
#sick#FRUSTRATED YOWLING#i miss when i was a kid and i could just. physically do whatever!#UGHHHHH#i wish i was regular and could like build my strength up like a regular person#if Exercise Worked Correctly for me and i could gradually become stronger#boy howdy it would all be iver for you bitches and by you bitches i mean. i dont know#people who dont want to be annoyed by me

I would like the let you know, Joey in a dress is 100% related to the bodyguard AU xD and the freakout the first time he is “fired,” correct, total panic. Then he’s kinda annoyed. Then he’s just rolling his eyes- all correct. Buddy is also supposed to stand guard at Kaiba’s office door all day. Nah he’s on expensive ass leather couch in his office on insta and tiktok. And his uniform is slowly going from what the security wears in the show to tie is loosened, then no tie, then unbuttoned buttons, then he shows up with a t shirt under his jacket and Kaiba lectures him about looking professional xD
I would like to let you know, the first time I read this I totally misunderstood and thought you said he films tiktok dances in his boss' office LMAO
I couldn't get this image out of my head...it's too funny
Joey as Kaiba's body guard is too good of a dynamic to pass up!!
(context for others under the cut)

#ask#transcanadianhighway#twottie talks#yugioh#puppyshipping#violetshipping#art#my art#phone doodles#following up on that gradual dressing down... i think itd be funny if one day he just walked into the building in a hawaiian shirt#and kaiba immediately said get out#bodyguard au

(sound on!)
"Tomorrow, we're sure to have clear skies."
A Boonboomger Video Comic 🌧️🌈
The comic in (mostly) still form
Here is the Youtube video in case the uploaded video quality is really bad.
youtube
#boonboomger#bakuage sentai boonboomger#fanart#boonboomger spoilers#no because why was i busting out after effects for my silly toku show#but i really loved this episode specifically#they're doing a great job of carrying the theme through the show#like this ep would not hit the same without all the build up#and it was beautiful seeing where this team/theme basically originated in the form of ms. mashiro#and you really get the sense that there's so much to taiya#like no wonder these 5 people are willing to risk it all for him#and the team bond is really so special to me#im gonna be fr i never really like 6th rangers as much as the og team#but the fact that his story directly opposes taiya's is so interesting#and the gradual warming up to the team is making everything much more believeable#sorry i said a lot but i hope you can sense my love for the show in this comic!!#also if you have any thoughts abt the ep or the comic please talk to me!! i would love to hear!!

Found some old PMD2 comics lying around gathering dust, so I figured I’d post them!





Bonus humanized future trio concepts for your trouble:
#with the human future trio you can really see my ideas being exhausted gradually from left to right#like. I love Celebi. Dusknoir is okay.#/what did I do to my boy grovyle/#fun fact those designs are from a human AU I was trying to build up as an original version of PMD2#(fern the treecko and spark the shinx are two old OCs that never quite made it out of the drafts.#in another universe Fern has replaced Twig and Spark replaced Kip#and they live relatively normal lives full of mundane slice-of-life antics)#stuff by sofie#the present is a gift au#pmd#pmd sky#pmd explorers#pmd eos#pmd2#pokémon mystery dungeon#pmd grovyle#pmd dusknoir#pmd celebi#pmd darkrai#pokemon mystery dungeon#pmd au#pmd comic#future trio#future crew#pmd future crew#pmd hero#pmd partner#pmd2 partner#gjinka

currently working on revival electra backstory for fun
#i have some ideas#i think they’d be an only child (and also an electric who’s born to parents instead of created via factory which is rare)#their parents were working all the time so pretty much most of their time was spent alone#they were popular before leaving their home station but didn’t really make friends. they just weren’t able to build those bonds#and after those years of being left to their own devices they decide#‘hey what if i became a star. and built my own crew.’#so they gradually hire the components and then after some time build up their fame#and eventually go compete in controls championship#can you tell i like backstories?#monty monolouges#stex#electra the electric engine#stex london 2024

oh to know if/how the earthquake in the bacchae was staged...
#the literal building of the house falling apart (even if just in pentheus' mind) just as the household is falling apart... chefs kiss#it is a shame the Athenians didn’t actually do much in the way of set decoration#the visuals of a house that gradually gets more and more decrepit as the play goes on would have SLAPPED#modern production of the oresteia where between the agamemnon and the choephoroi someone comes in to demolish and board up half the house#bacchae liveblogging#mine

I think one of my biggest barriers when it comes to actually writing my fic ideas down is that I feel like they should be longfics most of the time, probably because I love reading longfics best lol. But I never have enough actual content in my brain for a novel length fic so it ends up feeling futile and I give up immediately.
Really I need to get better at conceiving of ideas as 15-30k stories rather than failed longfics. Like, I can do that if it starts out as a one shot idea but then gets expanded in the writing process, but I've never tried to reframe it to myself as a medium length fic when it starts out as a novel length idea, it just gets abandoned.
#like it literally only just occurred to me that my postcanon traphawk idea could be a comfy 20k and that's fine it doesn't need to be 50k#text post#part of the problem is that i like the idea of building up to stuff gradually but i need to learn to like write to my strengths lol#and my strength is absolutely not slow build or prolonged character development etc despite it being my reading preference

don't mind me i'm just casually thinking about soulmates-but-not-actually-soulmates au, where you both fall for each other after having not found your respective soulmates for a long period of time and decide that if fate won't do anything, then you will both simply defy fate and learn to love each other.
and you do !! with the more time you spend with one another, navigating that which makes up the entirety of the other, you both start to grow accustomed — attuned, even — to the each other's habits. and slowly, eventually, you begin to think that perhaps fate didn't give you your soulmate, for they are the one in front of you, holding you so close it wouldn't come as a surprise if you meld into one.
if so, then why does your soulmate, whom you believed was nothing but a hoax up until now, decide to show up now of all times? where have they been during the years you spent searching for them? why are they staring at you as if you hung the moon and stars for them as they repeat your name in a breathy, starstruck manner, holding your hands in a shaky grip with the trembles in their voice equally as unstable?
and why... why did fate have to be so cruel to you, for the moment your eyes dart away in avoidance of theirs you find the world goes silent when you see your lover, whom you believed was the one meant to defy destiny with you, standing off to the side and watching your interaction with an unreadable countenance.
oh, fate is a cruel thing.
#sophie talks : concepts <3#ngl this would be such a good trope to write... for hsr argenti could be the soulmate bc hes always travelling and the lover could be like.#dan heng or veritas...#for genshin alhaitham could be the role of the lover so well bc of the gradual build up... but then the soulmate would have to be from a di#nation like childe or maybe ayato or maybe even lyney....#like. kaveh fits the soulmate role really well but i wouldnt want to change his lore and relevance with haitham just to fit the plot bc u#were waiting literal YEARS for ur soulmate and made an agreement with eventual lover that after [] years then u would try being together#or smth like that#haha anyway gonna dip and leave this here as my legacy bc i just finished my crying session and dont want more puffy eyes teehee <33#ngl this might work with neuvillette and wriothesley if u work with neuvie above ground and never searched in the fortress of meropide....#hmmm.....

I know 'person with secret to hide spots other person with secret to hide but doesn't say anything' is like. Thee trope in superhero crossovers, but come on! Some of these guys have been doing this for decades! There's tons of heroes that have gone to pretty extreme lengths to be Completely Imperceptible in civilian life.
Don't you think it's scarier, after all is said and done, to sit there and think I didn't notice a thing? I wouldn't have ever realised? I would never have known? To know that someone you were familiar with - close with, even! - had this whole other personality and skillset and powers and experiences and life just behind the curtain, and they hid it so completely you didn't even see it was there.
'I always knew there was something off' what if you didn't. How world shaking would it be to be so utterly blindsided? To know that this person had somehow learned to so deceptive?
#Strongly inspired by the dp x dc where Danny knows what up IMMEDIATELY or a bat clocks Danny as super suspicious within mins of meeting#Or the amount of reveal fics caused by the hero slipping up in some stupid way and getting themselves doxxed against their will#Like come on!! Full time heroes like superman or batman or Spidey go to great lengths to construct an entirely separate civilian persona!#And yes I know they've had their idiot moments when it comes to their identities but they've kept their secret rock solid for irl DECADES#What's an identity reveal without drama!! Shake it up! Stir the pot! Not a slow and gradual build up of suspicion and stress#But two high speed trains coming at right-angles and the audience is the only one who can see the incoming crash#Twist the knife in if you want. Make it HURT. Make it completely rewrite what they believed.#Short ID reveals are great for this because you can SEE the ripple effects spreading out as the story ends. Just BANG.#But also no ID reveal at all. The main character goes through the story regularly interacting with and developing character right alongside#A hero in hiding and no one is ever the wiser. You're a worker in WE fending off attempts to steal your inventions and Bruce Wayne#Invites you to his office to discuss security and he walks you back to your office when you get nervous about a break in.#You're struggling with school bullies and getting into trouble over your photography hobby and Peter Parker is right there alongside#You complaining about rich kids and fiddling with the outdated finicky lenses you got from the school.#You're a reporter unpicking a mystery scandal and you ask resident tank Clark Kent if he's able to play bodyguard if you go somewhere shady#The reader knows. No one else notices a thing.#And besides focusing on the civilian side is a nice change of pace! Let's see how they manage leading double lives!#What do I even tag this#batman#superman#Marvel#Dcu#spiderman#secret identity#identity reveal#long tags#captain marvel#miraculous ladybug#I know I know#hero and villain

staying past closing time at your favorite local bar with Suguru, your closest best friend, whom you so coincidentally, have an immense crush on. you guys haven't seen much of each other since after college, so you both decide to catch up at your favorite bar down your street. you know the barkeep well and he lets you stay late (because he's secretly rooting for you both to finally get together!).
#ughh this is just so cute to think about!#having nice long meaningful conversations#talking about how each of you were doing in life since college#what careers you got into...#how the families were doing...#taking gradual sips of your choice in drinks#then the lingering eye contact and suave fingertip grazes ensue...#leaving you both just sitting there...mellowing in your build up longing for one another...his eyes only captivating you that much more...#and inevitably one thing leads to another.....arfhalerhfalkdfha PLSSSS HE'S ROTTING MY BRAIN RNNN#geto suguru x reader#geto suguru#jjk

I hate to ever agree with Ninjagotwt on anything, like, ever, but god they were cooking up something INSANE in the Oni Trilogy that needs to be studied and perhaps even masterfully replicated Idk
#the character moments and the action and suspense went CRAZY its oni trilogy loving hours this era went bizarre#i would 100000% be onboard with Dragons Rising doing anything like it#obv I dont mean copying it#I morseo mean like#maybe it can gradually build up kinda like monkie kid#yk starts off sillier and more light hearted but as the series progresses#it just gets more fucked up#now if its oni trilogy fucked up or another kind of fucked up idk#ninjago#ninjago dragons rising#raine's rambles
