Saw this post and thought it was cute and also thought you might like the idea because of that headcanon you have that vil would really love "Some Guy" Yuu (although game canon Yuu is surprisingly pretty interesting based on the snippets we get about them as a person, i know there's a post about stuff that has been confirmed from snippets)
Anyways Yuu not have a lot and giving lil gifts to Vil that they can afford or maybe make by hand at their dilapidated dorm and Vil treasuring their lil stickers and ribbon braids and origami gifts. It's giving "might not be able to afford a ring but i can weave a flower crown at the very least"
The og post
THIS IS SO CUTE. AND TRUE. he would treasure any and everything yuu gives him just because it's from them (I imagine yuu themselves going thru hell trying to make each little gift perfect and then vil is like. that pretty rock yuu pointed out the other day? he went back to get it and keeps it in his room because it reminds him of them)
my friendship levels with vil are always really high because I keep getting his Special Gifts to give him. I get it. it's so cute.

lmao so funny story.
outer satin top w symbol: hand sewn beads on butchered thrift store top. beads are from a broken bracelet my gramma gave me. had to chop the back up then pin it together with the safetypin-hairtie-safetypin manuver bcs it is maybe 10 sizestoo small

contacts: i thiiink ifairy cara green. uniqso. tip: colored contacts absolutely make or break a cosplay. good to splurge on
makeup: everything green via eyeshadow/lipstick made by me. slowly in the process of formulating all my makeup bcs im very allergic to everything. black eyeliner is nyx, one pencil one felt tip. used on eyebrows/lips too. dont bother w lipliners/eyebrow products they r expensive and eyeliner/eyeshadow works perfectly well.

oyea her wedding ring my nanna gave me when i was like. 12? it could be real onyx/gold but it could also be costume jcpennys shit. who knows
#but seriously if someone wants to send me 90$ for that bodysuit i wont complaine. LMAOOOO#kanaya maryam#homestuck#cosplay#and yeah i was wearing 3 shirts + bra + a corset + two skirts. what of it

Debuting Preparations
To avoid confusion, Danny will be referred to as ‘Danny’ rather than Thomas. This is a little snippet I thought of for my ‘Danny Fenton is Thomas Wayne au’ (different name pending)
OG Post
Miscellaneous Stuff P1
Miscellaneous Stuff P2
“How do I look, Boo?” Danny asked, his hands falling away from the tie wrapped around his neck as his eyes dropped to the little two year old next to him.
Bruce grinned toothily at him, raising his arms in a silent demand for uppies that Danny naturally had to follow. “Awesome, daddy!” He yelled, his voice layered with a toddler accent while his small legs hooked around Danny’s waist the moment he had him settled on his hip.
Danny matched his grin tooth-for-tooth, fingers digging into his ribs for a quick tickle as he blew a raspberry into Bruce’s cheek. Bruce squealed with laughter, and Danny dipped them both, laughing as he straightened up and Bruce tried to wriggle out of his arms.
“Good!” He said, removing the fingers from Bruce’s ribs and twisting to face the floor-length mirror. “We wouldn’t want daddy to look not awesome today, would we?” His cheek pressed against Bruce’s little black curls and Bruce leaned his head against his shoulder.
Bruce shook his head, his cheeks red with laughter. “Nooo.”
“No.” Danny agreed, his ghostly core purring low in content as he planted a kiss on the top of his son’s head. “We would not.”
Ask him three years ago when he was in the prime of his ghost-fighting days if he knew that he’d be living in Wayne Manor with a clone-son under the name Thomas Wayne, and Danny would have straight up just called you crazy. But here he was, in Wayne Manor, under the name Thomas Wayne, with a two year old son on his hip.
Some things are just too good to be true.
(Of course that’s if you ignore all the bullshit that happened along the way that ended with Danny being here.)
Now he was standing in a bedroom that was as big as the lab back home, preparing for his debut as the newly adopted son Thomas Wayne. Anyone who was anyone would be there, his new family seldom threw parties that weren’t charity balls, and even now his debut would have donation boxes for the various programs and charities in Gotham and outside of it.
He was in the nicest three-piece suit that he could afford (which was a lot now that he was part of the Wayne family,) and his normally fluffy black hair was slicked back and styled, showing off the pearl studs that Danny stole from Mrs. Wayne’s jewelry box.
(“Stole” as if Mrs. Wayne “call me Miriam” hadn’t gifted them to him.)
He looked like an entirely different person in the mirror. He didn’t look like runaway teen dad Daniel Fenton, ex-vigilante Phantom.
And that…
That was good. That was so good.
He looked like Thomas Nightingale-turned-Wayne. Still a teen dad, but just a regular one. Not a vigilante, not the son of ghost hunters. Just the adopted son of the very rich and philanthropic Wayne couple. He looked like just Thomas.
He smiled at himself in the mirror, a wriggling feeling of awe thrumming through his chest as he turned his head this way and that, looking for every little reminder of his past afterlife that didn’t take the form of his scars. The pearls glittered in his ears, adding to him an elegance that he didn’t know he possessed.
Danny wondered… if he changed now to Phantom, would he still look the same? Identity was everything to a ghost; who they were and what they present as is all that remains of them after death. It shows the world what the most important aspects of themself was. It shows the world what they thought was important.
If Danny’s changed, does that mean Phantom did too?
A loud series of knocks dragged him out of his introspection. Bruce wriggled out of his arms, and Danny put him down before he could be dropped, and then he faced the door. “Come in!” He called, his nerves igniting under his skin and he folded his hands behind his back in response.
The doorknob twisted, then clicked, and then the door swung open. Alfred Pennyworth, the new butler and predecessor of the old butler, also a Pennyworth, stood stiffly under the frame. “Master Thomas,” he greeted, the picture of butler formality in a suit, “it’s nearly time for you and Master Patrick and Mistress Miriam to leave for your debut gala, the car has been parked out front and is ready to leave when you are ready.”
Danny smiled easily at Alfred, watching Bruce from the corner of his eye as he exclaimed ‘Alfred!’ before darting toward him and latching onto his legs. Alfred’s only been with them for a few weeks and Bruce had warmed up significantly to the young man. Which was saying something because Bruce never warmed up to anyone that wasn’t Danny, or Mr. and Mrs. Wayne.
“Thanks Alfred.” He said, walking over in just a few quick strides, “And please, it’s just Thomas.” He’s been having growth spurts ever since he joined the Wayne household last year and now was edging closer to his dad’s height at a solid over-six-foot. Albeit with none of the muscle, apparently he inherited his mom’s litheness.
Plucking Bruce off of the ground, his son automatically reached for Alfred, and Danny saw the barest of smiles on the corner of Alfred’s mouth as he took Bruce from him. “I’m afraid I will have to continue referring to you as Master Thomas, Master Thomas.“
“One day I’ll convince you.” Danny joked, waiting for Alfred to step out of the doorway before moving down the hallway. “You can’t keep calling me Master Thomas forever!” He’s annoyed stubborner people into doing what he wants before, he’ll wear down Alfred eventually.
“I do believe I can, Master Thomas.” Alfred quipped lightly, adjusting his hold on Bruce so that he was better situated on his hip. Bruce was playing with his tie again, ignoring their conversation in all the ways a two year old can. An easy sort of innocence that Danny never failed to be endeared by.
He pulled on the sleeves of his suit-jacket thoughtlessly, the small silvery cufflinks shimmering from the corner of his eye, trying to demand for Danny’s attention. He knows it got Bruce’s, his son’s head snapping away from Alfred’s tie to watch his wrists. Like a cat watching a laser-pointer.
Danny laughed softly and twisted his wrists slowly, letting the cufflinks glitter under the lights. Bruce’s pupils began to dilate, and the tips of his ears — rounder than Danny’s but pointier than a regular human’s — twitched very slightly.
Bruce held his arms out towards his wrists, leaning out of Alfred’s grasp to grab them. “See—! Let me see!” He demanded, nearly falling out of Alfred’s hold. Alfred’s hand shot out to grab him before he could tumble out of his arms, a look of momentary panic flashing over his face.
“Master Bruce!” He exclaimed, and then he took on a more scolding look. “You have to be careful, you can’t throw yourself out of someone’s arms like that!”
Bruce wriggled with a loud, child-like whine. “I wanna see! Pretty!” He said, then tried reaching for Danny again.
“Please, Boo.” Danny reminded, circling his palm over his chest, but he was already holding his arms out to Bruce to take him. Bruce might be as close to human as he could get with the extra benefits, but he still had some ghostly habits. Being attracted to sudden shiny things was one of them.
“Please.” Bruce repeated, pressing his hand to his chest and making a small circle. It wasn’t a perfect please, but it was the best he could do at two. Danny took him from Alfred and gave him his wrist as he settled him on his side.
Danny ran his fingers through Bruce’s hair and stroked his cheek. Bruce merely played with his cufflinks, pulling on the silver buttons and turning them this way and that to try and catch the light. “Alfred’s right, you can’t lean out like that, Boo. You could get hurt.”
Bruce didn’t look up and didn’t respond, so Danny lightly pinched his cheek. Although ‘pinch’ wouldn’t be the right term for it. He mimicked the pinching gesture and held his cheek, but didn’t actually use any pressure. It was just to get his attention. He lightly shook his cheek, “Did you hear me, Boo? We ask to get down if we want to get down, okay?”
“Okay.” Bruce said, glancing up at him briefly only to look back down at his cufflinks a moment later. With a soft huff Danny dropped his hand and tightened his hold.
“Can we say sorry to Alfred then? It really scared him when you nearly fell.” Scared was an exaggeration, and Danny saw Alfred give him a bemused look from the corner of his eye.
Again, Bruce looked up for only a moment, and this time he looked at Alfred. “Bruce is sorry Alfred.” He said, tiny fingers crunched around Danny’s sleeve. His ‘Alfred’ sounded more like an ‘Al-fed’, and Alfred smiled endearingly even when Bruce dropped his head back down a second later.
Danny huffed low again, shooting Alfred an apologetic smile as he pulled his hand out of Bruce’s little grasp and stroked his hair. “We’re getting there.”

Its not exactly a fic but its a oneshot so it kinda counts. Lmk if any of yall dont wanna get tagged in any future oneshots or continuations (or if you would but only for specific posts)
Extra note: Bruce’s behavior and dialogue is based off of how i’ve seen actual two year olds act and speak (which can differ based on where they are developmentally and as a two year old. If they’ve recently turned two, they could still be speaking essentially broken english. Then as they get closer to three they start speaking in more complete sentences. I know two little girls who referred to themselves in third person for a while, hence the ‘Bruce is sorry’.) I’m a daycare teacher so I’ve seen a lot of two year olds, so its written to my best abilities while avoiding common ‘child writing stereotypes’.
#dp x dc crossover#dp x dc fic#dpxdc#danny phantom#danny fenton#danny fenton is thomas wayne au#dtwf au#being a daycare teacher also means that the word ‘daddy’ has been entirely re-sanitized for me#it becomes weird when people make it weird#and im not gonna be uncomfortable when a toddler says ‘daddy’ because jfc thats just what they refer to them as#and im not gonna refer to a toddler’s dad as ‘dad’ when they respond to ‘daddy’ better#danny fenton is not the ghost king#its been a Minute since I last wrote something so apologies if its a little rough lol#i also wrote in my mobile notes app#so there’s that affecting it too

IWTV S1 Ep1 Musings: Loustat & the Black Mastiff
I've mentioned before how in Rolin's OG pilot script, there is a scene where Louis is directly paralleled with a caged dog Lestat purchased. The scene was removed from Ep1, but I suspect the overall idea was retained, and moved to the infamous train scene in 1x6 with Lestat vs Claudia.
The pilot scene with Loustat:
It was another black mastiff, that had been cooped up in an unsanitary shop, abused by its owner. But this time, instead of the black dog representing Claudia at Lestat's mercy, it represents Louis:
Unsanitary courtayrd shop → Storyville, NOLA's derelict red light district where capitalism sold people (sex workers & menial laborers), instead of slavery
Menagerie of animals "caged up or tied down or roaming free" → Black diaspora of Jim Crow NOLA, where some were Creole moneyed elites descended from free colored folk (DPDLs roaming free); others were tied down by systemic racism post-Emancipation (tied down); and others were still caged up by bad circumstances (Claudia, etc).
Lestat wants to buy a pet → Lestat wants to lovebomb a companion
Black dog → Black man (Louis)
Black dog abused by its owners → Black man discriminated against by the white racist patriarchy
Dog attacks Lestat & is beaten back → (Louis) "I wanted to take the end of my cane and slit his throat with it!" (Daniel) "Why didn't you?" (Louis) "I couldn't move!"
An utterly hopeless purchase → "A botched vampire"
Lestat buys the dog, seemingly having rescued/saved it from its miserable life. But crazy enough, it's still in "the very same beyond-help" condition.
Lestat buys/rescues/saves the dog → Lestat Turns Louis "I can swap this life of shame, swap it out for a Dark Gift, and a power you can't begin to imagine." | Lestat rescues/saves Louis at the Trial "I gave you to Armand. You tell me if that was saving."
The Black dog is still beyond help → Louis is still just "a Black man in America" | "You miserable dog!"
The dog "obediently stares up at its God" (Lestat) → "There was present a kind of worship on my part. The earth beneath me always felt liquid."
Lestat trains the dog to do tricks (balancing bones on its nose) → "You chase after phantoms of your former self. I'll break you of it."
"Lestat was Master of whatever space he occupied." → "Poor massa and his pain! It's an honor just to sleep under massa's roof!"
Cuz at the end of the day, vampirism didn't give Lestat's 2 Black fledglings the same privileges afforded to him as a white man; like I've said over & over again (x x x).
Lestat's Black mastiff reappears in the threesome with Lily:
But otherwise, it's not mentioned again in the rest of the pilot.
It's a shame we didn't get to see Les playing with his pet at 1132, but it's probably a good thing that the scenes were removed (it likely would've been too much of a hassle to keep including Les' dog all season--unless it would've dropped dead soon--OR unless vamp!Louis ATE it in Ep2, LOL 😂🤣).
Regardless, it's still interesting to see how Rolin was still constantly leaving so many breadcrumbs ALL season; about cages, being locked up & never being free, dehumanization, and abuse--particularly at Les's hand. Louis-as-dog was unnecessary at the end of the day (esp. in Ep5); and IMO it was much better utilized in Claudia's scene in 1x6.
Rolin, you are SICK beyond belief; and I love you for it~!

my dog might have breast cancer, so she needs a mastectomy and neutering. that's why i open semi-emergency pwyw mlp base-edit commissions. price list ⬇️
my mom gifted me my baby for my 8th birthday, when i was only a second grader. i was scared of dogs, but Katy helped me overcome this fear. she would always excitedly greet me after a long day at school, comfort me whenever i felt down, and share my happiness, even if she didn't understand what im celebrating
now i'm turning 18, i finished school a few years ago, got on antidepressants, and moved to another country. she's 10, she got grey hairs on her muzzle, she doesn't like taking such long walks anymore, she can't go up stairs as swiftly as before. and yet, she always comes running to me if she hears that im crying, she wiggles her tail and jumps as eagerly as she did as a puppy when i come home
we all are finite. i know that. one day i'll have to say goodbye to my sunshine. but i'm willing to fight as long as possible
i call it "semi-emergency" because my family has money to provide her with the healthcare she needs. we won't go homeless, we won't starve. but we'll have to cut corners. and at the time like this, i would really like to help my mom
as of now, this is my only income possibility, because i'm fighting mental illness. my meds aren't cheap either. i just want to be less of a burden, you know...
///COMMISSION INFO///
minimal amount for each artpiece is €1, no complexity fee. i probably won't be able to afford a refund. payment via paypal, upfront or after sketch if im unsure of my abilities. f&f appreciated, but not obligatory
i always send wips, and you get unlimited free changes. because of the situation there will be no deadlines, but your orders will be prioritized
will do:
find a base upon your request
non-drastic changes in a base
use a screenshot from the show as a base
redraw a meme/template (with og artist’s permission)
won't do:
nsfw
drastic changes on finishing steps
too complex ocs

Collecting memories one destination at a time.
Hello! I'll be sharing one of my best memories during Christmas. You know I had been waiting to share this moment of mine at that time, but I didn't get to. This is my chance. So, thank you, Sir Candano for this activity, hehe.
We do celebrate Christmas as a Christian household. We get together as a family with our relatives at Christmas. The year 2023, however, it was challenging to exchange gifts or carry out our regular activities as it was apiki nga panahon. That Christmas wasn't particularly happy for me. I wasn't feeling the spirit at all, but my cousins and I still tried and had a good time doing things together, even though we didn't celebrate it fully.
* *
That Christmas was a melancholy time...
So my parents made the decision to take a little trip to Davao. ⠀⠀⠀

⭑⭑⭑☆ Me and my family love to travel. Gusto nasad kog other place kay sige ramig Medina or CDO or didto ra nga side sa mapa, which is gi sumhan nako, hahaha. Meanwhile, my papa nga sige rag adto ato nga city is gaka-ibog kooo, so I kept begging my parents to bring me there. And my papa said yes, puhon, which ang puhon really happened.
. ܁₊ ⊹ . ܁˖ . ܁. ܁₊ ⊹ . ܁˖ . ܁. ܁₊ ⊹ . ܁˖ . ܁. ܁₊ ⊹ . ܁˖ . ܁. ܁₊ ⊹ . ܁˖ . ܁. ܁₊ ⊹ . ܁˖ . ܁. ܁₊ ⊹ . ܁˖ . ܁ ⭑⭑⭑☆ YES! we went to Davao City on December 25, 2023, and I did not expect it. It was our first time to get there except kay papa. I was really over the moon to be there. ☆ Traveling to Davao City was a very relaxing experience. A cold wind, a few drops of rain, and a misty trip with opm music playing, significantly a calm trip.
⭑⭑⭑☆ When we arrived, the first place we went was People's Park. Kay mingaw man kaayong palibot that time nang laag mi, so my papa decided nga try mi og adto sa port padulong Samal. That was the time wala gyud kaayoy ga linyaaa, AND YEAHH! ☆ Ni adto mig Samal Island nga wala sa plano at all. Didto mi sa ma-afford ra. After that beach, we tuyok the Island padulong sa Kaputian White Beach, where well known gyud siya (mahal ang entrance, basta naka attendance). Ohoo, pag-uli kay murag more than 3 hours gyud ang pila pa-uli, rrrrrrr, pero it's alright kay worth it. That was short time nga laag sa Samal Island but we really did enjoy it.
☆ Back to Davao City. ⭑⭑⭑☆ Ni diretso mi sa SM Lanang, and sayo kaayo nanihapon sa KFC (first time ani nga resto hehehe, na-ignorante nasad). Naglaag dayon mi sa likod sa SM, picture2x everywhere. Then ni adto mi sa ilang City Hall, still, nagpicture2 gihapon. There naay tig massage nga dugay kaayo sila nahuman, sige rakog hulat T-T. Human sa City Hall, sa Roxas Night Market na. Nagkaon nasad mi utro didto, and krazy kaayo ilang barato nga rice, mura rakag ni free taste hahahaha. After tan-aw2x sa palibot kay nag baklay2 mi while ga nanaw² sa palibot. Felt safe kaayo sa Davao. ☆ After all the laag2x, nagbyahe dayon mi sayo sa buntag pauli. On our way home, we stopped by somewhere in Kitaotao, where the view was amazing, it was like a sea of clouds. :)) ☆☆ We may not have visited many places in Davao on our short vacation, but we still had a great time. My parents are thinking about going back to more new places to visit. ☆☆☆ Mao to akong one of happy and melancholy moments sa Christmas on December 25-26, 2023. Though I was still 3 months recovering after surgery, that did not stop us from traveling. With my family, I cherish every moment. Going places together, celebrating one another, traveling together, and creating new memories to treasure. I am also grateful to God for allowing us to with my family to a place I had always wanted to visit. ⋆⭒˚.⋆⭒˚。⋆ THAT'S ALL. I hope to go back there again soon! ⋆⭒˚.⋆⭒˚。⋆

If you told me like, 15 years ago that in the year 2023 the day after my 32nd birthday I'd be posting on tumblr about how much I love my collection of Neopets I'd have probably scoffed at the very idea. Truthfully I'd probably have said "yea, sounds about right." but that's not as funny.
But man, I know I get really invested in some for chunks of time and then lose interest and stop doing things consistently a lot, such is the nature of hyper-fixations and ADHD, but there's just something so peaceful about doing my daily things on Neopets and poking around the Discord community. Being able to have achieved so many childhood goals this year has given me such an odd sense of accomplishment in a way. Like I'd posted about before, one of my original pets to this account (Not my very first account, that ones is long forgotten sadly. But this is the "new" account I'd made back in high school when I was in a nostalgic "I want to do shit I did as a kid" phase, kinda ahead of the nostalgic craze on that one eh?) is xSpifftasticx who was a yellow Lenny (5,939 days old) that I'd always wanted to paint Pink, but could never afford the paint brush. The older community surrounding Neopets now is so friendly and helpful and there's so much more information out there how to do activities and stuff that I never understood as a kid it's just. I don't even know how to word it. Just amazing to be able to actually work towards a goal in the game and achieve it.
The other OG to this account pets are oo_Chaos_oo the mutant Hissi (5,938 days old) and xx_Kryll_xx the Christmas Kyrii (5,475 days old), and their names are just so much a product of the time and I love it. So much so that I felt like not naming my other pets with some combination of underscores, x's, or other symbols would be an injustice to the whole vibe of my account 😂
I'm just so happy to have started playing again just before the whole Faerie Festival thing because completing the quests got me to get a bunch of fountain fairy dips that got me pretty much every other customized pet. Except for _JackTheLass_ who was a morphing potion gift from a user on the Discord, and x_NiteMare_x who was painted from getting a Halloween paint brush from the trick or treat bags.
This is a long pointless post tbh, and maybe I should just not add all this nonsense to it because it ruins the aesthetic of it but whatever. I'm far from an aesthetic blog lmao I'm just feeling sappy or some shit. I slapped a read more on it, good enough lmao Anyways, here's to 16 years on Neopets, and to 16+ more!
PS. send me a neofriend request, if you want.
#neopets#christmas kyrii#camouflage cybunny#halloween uni#pirate draik#woodland techo#pastel kau#mutant hissi#pink lenny#kyrii#cybunny#uni#draik#techo#kau#hissi#lenny#neopets paint brush

I start packing for America today!! My best friend in america is being gifted all the loyal three AR as a thank you!! I am. Hoping nothing gets to announce at the Pokémon center while I’m gone it would be a shame…._| ̄|○
The miku bag is packed!! I packed the essentials like money. And card supplies. And a bag. And card supplies. And my self care pouch. And my card supplies….. Wwwwwww.
The goods I’m searching in America!!! Each translate to around 700-900 yen using TCG player, I was going to pick up Bianca’s devotion SAR but it was too expensive for my budget. America is very good for trainer focus cards I can’t afford sometimes. Too bad Zeiyu is as expensive in America, almost same price as here translated. Crazy crazy!!! (Using lord and savior TCG player)
American trainer cards are so cheap!!! Geeta card is pretty and she’s slight cheaper on TCG player than Japanese sites so I’ll buy her there. I’d love to get og Cheren but one I don’t know if my wallet would like it. But Cheren….._| ̄|○

Lukewarm Take/Shower Thought: Both Boris and Beatrice's rip on Jonathan were serious speeches of projection.
(This first obvs isn't a new one for me and I worked it into UVC, but just to review...)
Boris is the one who crossed the line when he gave his number to a student for non-school related things. That's why Jon huffed at his assertion that he knew the line and was (especially with that Male Gaze crap on his phone) BUT...
Beatrice crossed her line when she said he was the "banner boy for mediocrity". Beatrice is an alcoholic semi-successful (I mean...she has to be somewhat successful, but she still lives pretty humbly near a backwoods area with her teacher husband? I ttly forgot that in the OG script she says that they can't afford a lawyer for Jon, but I went the other way in UVC) writer but her writing might just be mediocre. She's not gifted like Jon perceives Cairo to be, because she downplayed his enamoring of her vocabulary. For all we know, she writes Dark Romance (LOL "Lesser Expectations of a Greater Love"...sounds bitchfully autobiographic).
Perception is the key here. Cairo was drawn to Jon's writing because it's like hers (as per the exchange) and vice versa. She felt something tangible when she read that passage; and she wanted to be the inspiration for his writing like Bea was.
She gave her honest opinion before she recited the passage ("grand and tragic"/"romantic horror").
Lookit that frowny pouty face. Poor baby. 🥺💔💕✨
She was mad/hurt when she dissed it. (And Jon was nothing that Cairo said he was when she was drunk.
Jon never put himself in front of her as some kind of famous or even wonderful writer. She did that. And Winnie recognized that she was only dissing his work bc she got rejected. Not his fault she rocked the pedestal, or even that she idealized him in that way. She saw herself in him...two ghosts haunting a graveyard.) It's that whole thing about how beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Argh, I need to save some thoughts for the reviewlysis.
Also, it's real sad that he was emasculated twice by two different women in the same manner. But at least Cairo has room to learn/grow.
Would she have, according to Bartlett's canon is another story. But don't fret bbs, u still gots UVC LOL🥹💖💕✨
Also, there are no Boris Fillmore .gifs. I had to snag the pic off of Google. What're y'all, rayciss? (KIDDING, my gods. 💀) Make some damn .gifs of Boris, I don't have the time!
My special request: A .gif of him doing the Roger Rabbit. Someone does that for me and they will get a dedication on the Willmore fic that's part of the UVCniverse/happens after Winnie leaves Cairo's in UVC
when it is published.
Anyway, this will probably just end up being repetitive since I'm going over my old notes and want to publish the dang "review" now that it's on Netflix.
#shower thoughts#miller's girl#i watched about 3/4 of it in the shower#so i had thoughts#maybe it's bias#or maybe the layers are getting to me#either way i just felt like they both projected on him#cairo sweet#jonathan miller#boris fillmore#beatrice harker#jenna ortega#martin freeman#bashir salahuddin#dagmara dominczyk

I got a PS1 back in 2001, didn’t come with a memory card because mom couldn’t afford it, so for the first 6 months I played my games without saving, I almost beat Nascar Rumble and Crash 3 in one sitting because of that (I couldn’t leave the PS1 on all night).
Then after saving for those 6 months, I finally got a memory card! But it was one of those aftermarket ones that supposedly could held thrice the data of an official one, looked exactly like the orange one in the pic but with a little LED screen at the end that supposedly showed the number of save slots available, and for the life of me I never got it to work, couldn’t give it back either because I bought it in Medellin during the last day of a family trip there, so I basically got screwed.
(I bought it over an official one because it was cheaper and the LED screen looked really cool)
Some months later mom took pity on me and gifted me a proper memory card, a grey one, which I kept until I finally sold my PS1 to get an OG Xbox in 2006.
I got rid of that original memory card sometime after I got the proper one, and years later I found out all I had to do was follow a set of instructions that came with it, which were in English, that basically stated I had to mess around with the console for a bit to get it to work, which actually made me kind of mad.
And honestly, I still get mad about it.
Ah, the times before the internet or me being bilingual sure seem so far away…

Bells Hells playing stardew valley
Orym - chooses forest farm, makes the cutest little garden in the shape of 2 moons. Best friends with leah because shes a character that just makes sense to him, and romances elliott because dramatic dudes with lucsious hair seem to be his type ;) he also loves the junimos
Laudna - Laudna plays co-op with imogen, and they have a really cottagecore farm. Its a wilderness farm though, and laudna will not let imogen fight any of monsters because the add to the atmosphere. Her favourite festival is the flower dance, and she loves the tailoring aspect of the game
Imogen - shes a farm girl what can i say. While laudna works on the crops, imogen will gather resources to build barns and coops and look after every animal she can afford (they all have names) she downloads a mod to make the horse look like the one she used to own
Ashton - Ashton loves the mines. Once they unlock skull cavern, he will deep dive as far as he can go and use as many bombs as possible. He doesnt usually make friends with people but eventually when fcg convinces them to he cries over shanes story just a bit.
Fearne - Fearne has a very pretty flower farm, and is invested in what is happening with marnie and lewis. Once she gets the pants she will find as many uses for them as she possibly can. Her favourite festival is the egg hunt.
Chetney - Like fearne, he is very interested in marnie amd lewis' relationship, and will try to romance marnie because he can. When he finds out he cant actually build buildings by himself he tries to steal robins job, or try to marry robin. All the bachelors and bachelorettes are too young for him.
FCG - FCG loves to make friends with people, and will memorise each persons loved gift and talk to as many people as they can every day. They try to give therapy to shane but are happy that he still gets help. He decides to move in with krobus because they have a smiley face when you hug them. Because of his attwntion to friendships, his farm mostly consists of just things needed to build relationships.
Dorian - Dorian is a pretty well rounded player, with a nice farm hes spent way to much time on. He always grows blue jazz in spring, and can never decide who to romance, (he suffered rejection from hayley at the flower dance) so he invites orym to his farm and immediately proposes, and explains this with "i need the stardrop so uhhh" orym accepts. Dorian loves the music in the game and often restarts the day just so he can rewatch the dance of the moonlight jellies.
First time doing headcanons and stuff, i saw a post with orym playing stardew in it and got inspired, ill try to find the og post if i can. Sorry for any spelling mistakes, currently very tired. Let me know if you want more of this! :D

Clone Social Media : Hobbies
The phenomenon starts with the intention to show the civilians of the Republic the men behind the armor, as well as an encouragement for the men to do the things they enjoy when they have the time to in lieu of sitting around cleaning weapons for a third time that day.
Scratch that—the phenomenon starts with High General Kenobi, on a rare day of leave, teaching his Marshal Commander how to bake. Said Commander’s men were happy to taste test the flurry of experimental confections that pervaded their leave days in the following months. News spread fast of Marshal Commander Cody having a knack for baking, and so followed the spread of troopers attempting to make their own treats and/or branching off into other things the civilians called “hobbies” whenever what they could get their hands on afforded them.
The phenomenon kicked off when Padawan Commander Tano began a social media account with the intention of using it as a public diary, her first post was a picture taken of some of the 501st—with permission, her caption says—as they went about retouching paint scuffed in their most recent battle. The men are relaxed, some with paint smeared on their hands and cheeks and seemingly reacting to some joke or story told outside the threshold of the camera, and it’s an almost startling difference from the image of rigid lines of men, faceless in their full kits of white plastoid, that the civilians are used to. Tano’s second post is a video clip of one Captain Rex, with one General Skywalker sitting on his back counting reps, doing push-ups; the video was captioned “Another day in the G.A.R., restless in hyperspace.”
The digital diary continues from there, videos and pictures of specific locations posted only after reaching a safe distance to do so, never sharing anything mission critical—past, current, or hypothetical future. Eventually she shows the men under her how to make their own accounts, and other Jedi and their own troops follow suit. The 212th then takes it upon themselves to post pictures of the little cakes their Marshal Commander has gotten so proficient at making, and, when General Kenobi creates a joint account titled “command_212”, convince Cody to post pictures of things he bakes before they are distributed—even in the process of baking, if the fancy strikes him.
So Marshal Commander Cody shares pictures of his experiments, of recipes he finds that turned out well, of recipes that didn’t because of some error or other that he’s determined to give another go, with the occasional cryptid picture of General Kenobi taking his tea in the barrack’s kitchen. As time goes on those pictures shift to Obi-Wan covered in flour, or a shot taken from several feet away of Cody sneaking batter captioned “caught red-handed in the red velvet”.
As Marshal Commander of the 212th has taken to baking to relieve stress, the Commander of the 104th has turned to needlecraft and yarnwork.
The 104th retaliate the populatrity of the 212th’s command account with the domesticity of their own, despite the vaguely threatening possibilities of knitting and sewing needles. Boost and Sinker run the majority of the account, although all OG members of the 104th have access to it; they post pictures of the things Wolffe makes them, of General Plo covered in the lengths of scarves he’s received, of Comet in the ever-growing swath the gifted blankets with the current tally in the caption (his toes were off the floor by blanket burrito 6). The holonet at large loves Plo almost as much as his men, and once a week they post him saying some piece of sage wisdom—or utter nonsense, as the mood strikes—as the war goes on. After months of asking for a face reveal and requests for the patterns people are sure Wolffe uses, they make the most Force-forsaken tutorial videos as an all-in-one series.
“HOLY **** HE’S CASTING ON 12 TO START—“ “WHAT A MAD MAN!”
“So when you get to this row here you’re going to knit 3, purl 3–“ “TRANSCENDENT!” “—yes, thank you, and then keep doing that until you reach the end of the row...”
“Oh, OH MAN HE’S GONNA DO IT!” “HE’S GONNA CHANGE COLORS!” “Holy **** man he’s gonNA YOOOOOOOOOO!”
Cody is then issued a challenge by the holonet to learn to knit. He learns to crochet. Because Obi-Wan knows how to crochet. The holonet loves video snippets of them progressing on projects together. They also love the videos Ahsoka posts of Cody attempting to teach Rex, and praise the absolutely completely unrelated hat she later posts a picture of; it covers her Montrals with enough room for a few years’ growth. Anakin gets yarn stuck in his mechanical hand because he forgot to put his glove on before attempting to craft.
The real throwdown happens when the account for the Coruscant Guard posts videos of Fox aggressively tatting while venting about the lack of funding for proper security and surveillance tech.
Each posts sees a comical increase in the surfaces covered in lace doilies and runners, as well as a new topic for Fox’s venting.
A picture of an pillow embroidered with “Kriff the Seppies” is briefly posted to the 104th’s account before being taken down and replaced with a censor bar. Rumors begin to circulate when Senator Chuchi posts a picture wearing a gifted lace shawl; Senator Amidala comments on her confusion being resolved as to why Riyo kept bringing little baskets of crochet thread with her before a senate meetings.
A competition for ship nose art starts up, many votes going to the 501st, and the holonet’s heart once again melting at “Plo’s Bros”. Personal art begins popping up soon after. Fives starts posting spray paint tutorials, Rex and Hardcase become popular for clean graphic art. Bly gets his hands on metallic paint and the crowds go wild. Kix has taken his clean haircut game to the next level.
And then Colt and Shaak Ti make an account to post art the Littles make, most of them representations of their older brothers with wishes of safety and good luck, and of the only Jedi they’ve ever known, sometimes creatures they studied in their preparation for worlds outside of Kamino. Of batches passing their final tests with a congratulatory post.
Suggestions and instructions are sent out for clones who want to take and sell commissions, allowing them to finally make some money; most Jedi are more than happy to help make sure the finished work mails out properly to the buyers.
Ships of the non-nose art kind surface on the holonet. It’s generally agreed upon that command_212 is run by husbands, and Aayla is the protector of the 327th and Bly’s heart, even if she’s a clumsy menace around his artwork (caf spilled over a drying watercolor can be interesting or terrible depending on the circumstance). No one can agree whether Skywalker is married to his captain or Senator Amidala, but everyone agrees that Ahsoka is their baby. The holonet declares Plo to have Big Dad Energy. Shaak Ti’s Big Mom Energy is a friendly rival. The Jedi council has made no official statement denying or denouncing these attachments.
Public interest begins to shift from producing more soldiers to making sure the ones the Republic has stay alive, when the realization hits that within a couple of years the children posting art and losing teeth would probably be losing blood and brothers on some far away planet. Of making sure the men are eating well instead of just surviving. Well certain account-holders don’t post for a while, grieving a loss, posting again to reassure their followers they’re alright, the public questions what’s being done to keep the men emotionally and mentally well outside of the hobbies the public knows them for. “Born to handle any stress” is very much the wrong answer.
Pressure is put on the Chancellor to let the Separatists sucede, no one quite sure anymore why allowing them to would be harmful when at worst new trade agreements would need to be brokered; if they want to leave so badly, let them. And let the men have their hobbies.
(Sad thoughts ahead)
Sometimes commissioners never receive their orders, simply a refund with a letter from that clone’s Jedi after the latest battle ends. Any money they’d made would be split however their closest brothers decide.
The channel that always posts pranks and spray paint tutorials makes a post saying they’d be away to look after their sick little brother. It’s the last post they make.
The Coruscant Guard’s account stops posting a few nights later.
After Order 66 goes out, a new account goes up posting any pictures and cute videos of Aayla. Reposting old ones that the public is sure they’d seen somewhere before, posting new ones of funny faces and ridiculous videos of silly dances. The last one is the only one captioned, “she wasn’t a traitor.”
The account is deleted the same night, and the one of the 327th’s adventures never posts again.
Wolfpack_104 does not post, but is still there.
Command_212 is deleted almost immediately the night of the order.
Years go by, almost sixteen, and only after Vader already knows she’s alive does Ahsoka post again. It’s a picture of her, and Rex and Wolffe onboard the Ghost in hyperspace captioned “Was never a traitor. Always the little sister even if I’m four years older. In case you’re wondering, Rex still draws and Wolffe still knits when we can nab the string and flimsi.”

Because I’m on a whole train of thought for what I have temp dubbed Persephone-tale, Names will be added as they come along.
Lets talk about their Gaster:
Gaster in this universe was a royal scientist, he one day went trash hunting with their Alphys, and found a detailed book on Persephone, gave it to King Asgore, and he demanded that Gaster and his intern Alphys make a Persephone for him. Gaster feels bad, he really does, but it was her or him and Alphys. And he made his choice. He will sometimes sneak away to snowdin to say hi to Kore. But won’t talk to Persephone out of respect.
Asgore:
Their Asgore insisted that Persephone be made. Why? Because much like og Asgore, he lost Toriel when he killed the fallen kids, so he quit, and heard of the idea of having all earthly goods underground? yes please! Once Persephone was ‘perfected’ he managed to get Toriel back. Asgore dosen’t really feel for Persephone, he was told they were emotionless, and when he sees her she is, they always smoke a cig before seeing him and it keeps her monotonous.
Toriel:
Toriel really hated to leave Asgore, even after what he did, while she was firm in her decision to leave, she missed him and wanted him to change for the better again. and once he reached out with Persephone and promises for no more deaths, she went back. Toriel is the same as Asgore on Persephone.
The Fallen Children:
The fallen children at first were ordered to be killed, then after 3 fell, Asgore called it back with Kore in the works. While Kore and Persephone were made no children fell, despite it being a long time. After Persephone, and after Toriel came back all fallen children live at the palace, current kids are Kindness, Integrity, and Patience. Dead is Chara, Patience, Perseverance, and Bravery. All fallen children feel bad for Persephone, and once Determination falls, will help them to save Persephone.
Chara and Asriel:
Are largely the same, both dead, same story, Flowey isn’t as aggressive however, with 3 humans to keep him entertained, he hasn’t quite gone of the deep end yet.
Alphys/Ved:
Alphys is a intern for Gaster, and will be until Gaster eventually dies. She is mostly the same, but they dose have all of Gasters notes on the machine and Persephone. While the machine is real here, it was sidelined before Gaster could be taken.
Undyne:
Undyne is close with the royal family, she watches over the fallen children and Persephone. Undyne also feels bad for Persephone, watching her ruin their life just treading through. Undyne makes sure Persephone always has a magic cig before seeing Toriel or Asgore.
Mettaton:
Same personality, but with Persephone, he can have the most fabulous shows in the whole underground. Alphys and Gaster made Mettaton, and all have a good relationship. Mettaton is water proof as that is his favorite thing to add, as well as natural sunlight.
Kore:
Kore was a reject. Toriel doesn’t know of him, and Asgore doesn’t mention them. Asgore only told Gaster to make Kore disappear, so Gaster sent them all the way to Snowdin to live peacefully. Kore never goes into the palace, no matter how much they want to see their sibling. Kore has to write on labels of jars to summon things. Once he dose the thing will fill the jar for them to use. Kore runs what is practically a secret bar in Grilby’s to give out his gift fairly. While they do charge, it is always affordable. Kore is pretty happy, it could be much better, but it could be worse for him. So he goes with what he’s got. Kore is compassionate and will often try to help other monsters. Kore is well liked amongst the underground. Asgore and Toriel never go to Snowdin anymore, the dog patrol in snowdin brings any kids up for them. Kore is blind in his right eye, happened in the lab and he was just born like that.
Grilby:
Grilby runs Grilby’s in Snowdin, he also houses Kore and they live in the og skelebros house. His personality is much the same, and he is mute, but knows monster sign language and thought it to Kore. Kore finds it useful for talking to Grilby and for mute customers.
Persephone:
(I’m braking this up because it is long)
Persephone, Persephone is property. They always wear their RPC (Royal property Cuff), and live to serve them. Persephone is almost always on a magic cig, they are addicted. Thougg they have lighter doses for when they aren’t around the royals.
The cigs suppress her moods. when she is on the ones for the royals they are practically numb. They won’t react to hardly anything and only say ’Yes your Majesty’ or ’I’m sorry you majesty’. When persephone isn’t on the drugs, they are angry and violent. And unless on the heaviest ones, will always burst into rage at Gaster’s name, and while no knows, Kore’s name as well.
Persephone can just summon earthly things, cloths, Animal products, Wood, metal, plant products, everything natural, save for cloth. That she can do patterned, dyed, embroidered, everything.
Persephone like Undyne thats the only person she will call friend. While she doesn’t mind the fallen kids, they still are too close to Asgore and Toriel.
Persephone hates Kore, even though he’s weaker, she hates them for his freedom. She hates him because he is a better her in her opinion. She could’ve been Kore. But she isn’t and will pay her whole life for it.
Though, Persephone remembers the few joyous days they had together. She cherishes those moments of freedom, and secretly misses that Kore, but they would not let themselves enjoy Kore’s company like that for a long time after she was free. Kore will have to work hard to get Persephone back.
Persephone will not talk to Gaster. Ever. And Gaster knows it. She makes it very clear any time she can.
#Persephone!take#Oh my gosh finally I’ve been writing for like an hour whew#I really like this AU idea tho! Lemme know if you all#Also whoever read all of this???#Biggest hug for you ever thank you

@am-i-the-asshole-official
Hi I'm the og supplier of this mess so I made a temporary sideblog to reply.
Right now the immigration is from USA to Canada, the period is 6-12 months express! Meaning he could just suddenly land on my doorstep within that time to legally live with me. For those not aware, Canada is having a hard time with inflation, rising costs and a lot of other financial things. I am affected by that and have a lot of problems with my currently affordable housing that may end up becoming a larger expense with a new person moving in. I didn't expect people to quite understand what it meant by my boyfriend moving in or what that could affect but the reality is that's another mouth to feed on a single income that's already stretched to accommodate to the problems already happening not to mention the increase of my bills because of a second person moving in. He might immediately get a job or have to fight others to get one, but I can't exactly gamble on that. (fwiw I work 80 hours a lot $20/hr and it's not enough frankly for where I live. I'm due for an increase thankfully)
The wedding date is set for the end of August next year, which I meant the following year. I agree it's one day, I already spent money on a suit and shoes which has since been paid for. The only concern is she doesn't want gifts she wants money, I need to keep my head above water to anticipate another person. I've already given her the nudge politely that it may not happen and she completely understood! But I plan things ahead so people are aware because if I don't I'm treated like the ass for not giving enough notice.
So yeah, it's not about it being just a single day there's outliers like taking care of another person (really, he'd do the same if I became jobless and he was working until I found work) navigating through new expenses and also trying to afford to send my friend off as she's requested; I may just send money and call it for the day.
(honestly really the doubt of marriage hinges on the whole therapy thing but it's neither of our business so it doesn't need to be said further)
I honestly just felt like the asshole because suddenly I can't go because finances are tight (to ensure I'm safe) and I haven't RSVP'd to the new date so hence my submission.
WIBTA if I cancelled my RSVP to my friends wedding?
I'm writing this here as my friend is a prominent Reddit user
Last September my friend, A (30sF) sent out the RSVP for her wedding after their engagement in the spring as they finally settled on a date in September of this year. However, earlier this year, her fiance B (30sM) called it off to reschedule for next year due to coming to terms they both need therapy and couples counseling to continue being a couple
Here's where I may be the asshole
I have kept my (29NB) RSVP in good faith but I have doubts about it. Not only that, but my boyfriend M (26M) who I've been dating for six almost seven years is working on his Immigration Paperwork to move here and in six to twelve months he's going to be here once it's all approved (he's eligible for the express entry due to his qualifications) and even though I've been friends with A for longer, M is more important in this regard because I need to get him moved in not to mention get my financials in order to provide while he's job hunting.
What are these acronyms?

I've been thinking for a while but. I think big game studios should chill out a bit in general
Sega has fucked up countless games due to rushing and mario has been doing the SAME SHIT for two decades (i think) because it gets the money in
While we're on it , nintendo's "sports" saga used to have like 10+ sports and in comes the switch version with a grand total of 6 (the og version in wii had 5 but uh , come on man that game was much cheaper)
Feel free to correct me.if im wrong i didnt research shit lol
i can't fact check bc im the type to buy games 1-2 years after they come out bc most of them are way too expensive for my broke ass (like for ex i got botw as a gift bc there was no way i was gonna be able to afford a switch and botw. same w pkmn shield) so i don't exactly follow this type of stuff
but the last few games ive seen from nintendo were at BEST decent, and if we're being honest... underwhelming. the names, whether it's nintendo or gamefreak just provide enough hype for ppl to buy these (not to mention emotional attachment to games like sonic w sega, pkmn, mario etc for nintendo) so it feels like settling for the bare minimum
some people are fine with it, some aren't. im not when it comes to pricey games like that, essentially bc i don't have any emotional attachment to new mario etc games. id rather buy remastered versions of games i used to love bc then ik im not gonna be disappointed. but yeah new games of old franchise feel WEAK as fuck. however as i said emotional atthment plays a big role in it so i understand the hype, im gonna shut my pants when tears of the kingdom comes out (and then wait 2 years to buy it 💀) even if it's mediocre. which it won't be bc tloz is perfect /hj
however i didn't know abt the sports switch game being this weak bro. wii sports resort stays winning
