test muses

the prophet;maverick

Maverick 'Mave' Barnett - just a poor loser that gets regularly used by angels and demons alike, he's supposed to be the extension of the scribe of god, used akin to a prophet, an oracle, but mostly like a storage dump, imbued with visions of the future as well as messages from the heavens above. Regularly threatened to get kidnapped and ambushed by demons because they want to get to heavens plans through him. He so did not fucking sign up for this, like, wow. Featuring the trope of 'oop is it god?? is it hallucinations??? or is it something worse!!!!' To give you an idea, inspirations were: 'Saint Maud' (Rose Glass) + 'Portrait of God' (Dylan Clark) + 'The Chair' (Curry Barker).

the shieldmaiden;alya

"Alya Demir" - cursed valkyrie, punished for abandoning the souls of warriors on battlefields due to the new-found belief that Hel was the actual mercy, and that no one deserves to sit up in Valhalla and wait for yet another battle to mutilate them. If she stays anywhere for longer than 9 days, ravens will begin to appear, treating the area surrounding her like a freshly sown battlefield, meaning every humanoid being in a given radius will be considered a corpse and therefore picked and plucked at like one - she'll apologize for every lost eye.

the future;qianru

Yú Qiànrú - (copied from here) 25 year old engineering student, born to be a boyfriend but dedicates herself just as happily to… just about anything, really, will go out of her way to learn more things, start new courses, get new skills, as if she knew how much time she had left and wanted to explore and experience as many things as possible before her untimely death. The kind of person you want to have in your corner when you want someone vibrantly competent at starting things and then never finishing them because something equally interesting caught her eye as well. Her goal in life would be to get into nuclear engineering and revolutionize something there, and that’s exactly how she puts it, it’s as vague as I’m writing it.

the natural;chulsoo

Kang Chul-soo - bringing back my voice actor but hopefully now in a way that is actually compelling enough for me to write! Now he’s a loser. He always was a loser, but now instead of loser (derogatory) it’s loser (affectionate). He’s mellower in this version, but mostly because he’s usually so far away with his senses and thoughts that he doesn’t get the chance to be really in any way uncouth. He does have a no-bullshit attitude, will take and deliver most things literally and bluntly, it’s not even about brutal honesty as much as it is simply whatever is being said. He condemns the mockery of being lied to. The gist of his character, though, is that he’s practically half-dead? Another mythvoiced blorbo tried to ‘consume his soul’ but only managed to ‘chip off’ a part of it. Part of him, therefore, is now stuck somewhere else, and that has affected him in massively inconvenient ways.

My toxic trait is I think Apollo should have more crazy backstories. Make him suffer.

[fairuzfan]

Looking through Wikipedia talk pages about anything related to Islam and being like "ohhh ok so you're an islamophobe". Literally citing right wing/anti-immigration books as sources and then say "the point of Wikipedia is to convey the perspective of secondary sources" like ok. There's no point changing these pages because these wikiepedians will just bully you and overwrite them.

Hey mod, are you okay? It’s been a while since you posted (no judgement!) and I just wanted to see if something was wrong. Love you and I hope you stay strong🫶🏼

Bless you anon! I appreciate you checking in! I don't post a lot of personal updates here, but I have been going through the wringer lately... hough.

Lately I've been battling with anxiety, you know, same as everyone. It's kind of made things that I used to enjoy kind of stressful for me. Everything becomes stressful for me. Even not having things to stress about makes me stressed. I'm at my most Peter Parkeriest, in the worst sort of a way.

I thought it was a brain thing – that it was all in my head. I have a new, stressful job, and a stressful living situation, and some family issues I'm dealing with. It'll pass. So I kind of tried to power through, until my body shut down on me last year. And as it turns out, when I got checked out by the doc, it's not just a brain thing. I have a tumor (her name is Lamar, and she's benign, buuut...) she's producing 5x the normal amount of stress hormone in my body. The doctors think it's insane. I think it's hilarious. I feel like it's some kind of joke.

I've been battling this ridiculous chronic stress for years, thinking it was all in my head, but actually, biologically, I'm an overflowing reservoir of stress, and it's something that can be measured in my bloodstream. And it's been going on for years!

So, lately I've been devoting a lot of time to forcing myself to relax. Doctors orders. I can't get stressed about things. Every day I have to effectively diffuse a bomb. And the bomb is me. I'm so pumped up with involuntary stress, and I have to devote my time to keeping it at a manageable level. And so there are a lot of backflips I have to do to keep myself human right now, and not turn into a bomb.

See... posting to the blog doesn't exactly calm me down. It makes me anxious, most of the time. So I've been telling myself it's okay. Only post when you feel good. You have enough things to worry about, and the blog can't be one another thing to worry about. It can only be for fun. If it doesn't feel like fun, don't do it.

I need to do a million little calming activities to function. The blog used to calm me. But it doesn't, anymore. I still love it, and I still have so many scripts I'm excited to do, but... I just have to be patient with myself, right now. I can't bug my head over something that can wait. It can wait. Right now isn't the time. My health is the most important thing. I can't get that back, if I lose it.

Right now I'm about keeping my head above water. Keeping calm. Doing meditative things, that aren't necessarily productive... (trust me, I am SO upset about not being productive. I miss it a lot) but they force me to take it slow and force me to not worry. I'm learning the banjo (she calms me), and I spend a lot more time in nature, having staring contests with ducks and pigeons, and befriending beetles and bugs.

I'm a very positive person, and I know I'll make it through, and I love myself for all the effort I'm making to keep myself from breaking. Because I know if I didn't force myself to calm down, I could snap like an elastic band. I – I don't want to break, like I did last year. I need to be good to myself. And relaxing is an effort. It takes a lot for me. And certain calming routines work for a little while, and then stop working, and I need to make the effort all over again to find something new. It's kind of insane how much time I need to calm back down again. I remember, once upon a time, it being baseline.

Luckily there's a surgical solution, so hopefully I'll be normal again soon, and there won't be any more bees buzzing in my brain!

I hope you'll all be patient with me! And hopefully I'll make it out alive and stronger than ever, soon.

like i am being so unironic when i say that ace's death is THE number one most devastating death in anime Ever Of All Time. everything about it is so unspeakably tragic. none of marineford HAD to happen and yet it was the only way it COULD happen. even before the asl flashback the writing is on the wall for us that the only thing ace would have done is what he did. the silly little cover story about him around skypiea gives us the detail that he has a rage button for people dissing whitebeard. the fact that he takes time out of his manhunt for blackbeard to linger for a bit in alabasta in the hopes that he'll get to reunite with luffy speaks volumes to how important luffy is to him. like i don't think that's talked about enough: ace puts this whole mission that he committed himself to--independently, against advice from his captainfather--ON HOLD to MAYBE catch up with his baby brother. like of course. of course he would turn back when akainu calls whitebeard a loser. of course he would put himself between akainu and luffy. and everything we see of him afterward will never let you forget it. half the time he shows up in flashbacks as an adult he's gushing about luffy to the point that whoever he's talking to teases him about it. he wears his love for whitebeard in huge, unmissable fashion on his back, and almost never covers it up. it's so eerily reminiscent of how law makes himself a monument to corazon that i can't help but wonder if it's intentional. all the signs are there. and it's all made worse by the fact that i don't think akainu KNEW immediately that it'd go down like that. he's confused when ace turns back to him, but he's shrewd enough to press the advantage, shrewd enough to target the weaker link so that one of the brothers dies no matter what happens. it adds this horrible futility to the whole thing that's just wrenching. and then to capstone it with 'thank you for loving me' like. agh. he dies smiling. what the actual fuck.

okay you know the american express skate shop commercial?

eddie who co-ownes a skate shop despite having only been on skateboard twice in his life (he broke his arm the second time) but gareth loves skating more than drums, and the band never went anywhere but his skate career DID, so eddie somehow wound up taking care of gareth's shop while he travels the world breaking his bones. eddie's clientele is a pretty narrow group, until fucking steve harrington himself (his hs school crush) comes into the shop asking for a board for his daughter.

months of awkward flirting later, eddie finds out max is a big fan of gareth and that night eddie is curled around gareth's ankles chanting "please please please please please please please" and gareth throws up his hands and agrees to meet them.

that weekend eddie happily gets to hang off steve's shoulder while gareth and max are tearing up a half pipe. max is happy, so steve is happy, and gareth is impressed with max's talent and keeps getting more and more into coaching her through a few little tricks, and eddie may never get into steve's pants, but anything is worth seeing steve smile, so happy and excited for his kid and—oh fuck, eddie's in love fucking shitting fuck

meanwhile, steve spends each morning lamenting to robin as they get their bakery ready for the day how he'll die alone because eddie won't ask him out and robin keeps yelling at him, all exasperated "why don't YOU ask him out then??" and steve pouts because that's no fun

anyways one day eddie wanders into the shop not even realizing that steve works there (luckily he's doing a delivery atm), and robin sees eddie from all the way in the back and beelines it out so eddie just randomly gets accosted by the bread lesbian hissing "i need you to dick down and marry steve already or i WILL kill him, i'll drown him in the sourdough."

eddie walks back out thinking robin's some kind of prophet or psychic, he has no idea that she actually knows steve.

but who is he to argue with a fate-sayer? and he fulfills part of the prophecy that very night.

Writing a character with multiple pronoun sets be like:

broke: pronouns change based on wanting to cycle through the ones the characters uses

bespoke: pronouns change based on what makes it easier to understand which character is being talked about

Seven, he thought, seven fingers. A man can make do with seven fingers. Seven is a sacred number.

theon encounters with the drowned god, r'hllor, the stranger and the old gods

Nephew, do you still know the words?” “What is dead may never die,” Theon said, remembering. “What is dead may never die,” his uncle echoed, “but rises again, harder and stronger. Stand.”

Hear me out, here me out…

“And that it was from Chaos that the first three primordial gods sprang forth: Gaea (Earth), Tartarus (the Underworld), and Eros (Love) - Hesiod's Theogony

Gaea/Earth: Ariadne 

Tartarus/The Underworld: Eurydice

Eros/Love: Caeneus

Purely me headcanoning my heart little away. But I love how in a sense they all represent the three eternal beings ‘of chaos’ that make up creation incarnate. 

Ariadne: Who is now the ‘Mother of her people and her land’ as president. A representation of feminine power. Life

Eurydice: The first person to return from the Underworld and essentially, conquer/master death. Death 

Caeneus: Sweet, sweet Caeneus who embodies love, the driving force of creation. Love

They don't embody the return to Chaos per say, rather the power that sprang from it. The necessary cycle of death and rebirth, destruction and creation that Zeus has selfishly stalled. That they, as a trio will restart.

i loved the part of the book where piranesi resolves to take better care of himself while he's rediscovering his own history. he just has so much compassion for himself! the journal upsets him so he takes a week off and does things he enjoys and then he settles into a safe place when he wants to tackle the subject again. and he doesn't believe The Other when he's told about his amnesia! he values his own insights and his own knowledge of the House even when fucking ketterley is actively trying to undermine his sense of self. piranesi's gentle treatment of himself and the person he used to be is genuinely so moving.

kinda obsessed with the fact that grace isn’t in “go go nighthawks.” the person that came up with the whole plan to get back at max and to chop up and hide his body, is the one student that doesn’t reap the benefits from it.

her saying “mama i’m cured” only after she saw ghost max in her dream and thought he wasn’t sexy at all just shows how nothing changed for her after max died. it took that dream for her to move on. and it shows that those feelings were all grace and not actually max’s fault. (he certainly didn’t help, but he never made her have that fantasy)

i’m so curious about how those two weeks were for her

[Image ID:

Two venn diagrams. The first is about Faulkner and Paige and says, "I accomplished what I set out to do and it's the worst thing in my life. I hate the role I've trapped myself into" in the overlapping section.

The second diagram is about Val and Faulkner and says, "I've done a lot of bad things but it's fine, the end result will be worth it guys I promise this had to be done hey-"

Idk Idea 001

Just read It's Just a Prank, Bro by Tachvintlogic on AO3 and, man, now my brain is coming up with concepts for a similar idea like:

Danny having many run-ins with Constantine where Danny will say something or give some "advice" for something he sees as a Problem TM.

Note: Danny does not have the same views as most people on what is and isn't good/bad.

Their first interaction: They meet at a bar and Danny warns him about his smoking habit. Constantine ignores the "advice" and later it turns out his current box of cigarettes have been laced with poison. Constantine—after leaving the Justice League's medical ward a week later—proceeds to lose his goddamn mind about this random guy who maybe knew about it.

Constantine goes out and tracks down this guy he met once in a bar only to find that Danny has no idea what he's talking about poisons and assassination attempts, but is he alright? Danny being concerned for this dude who tracked him down and doesn't even care that John was accusing him of being part of the assassination attempt.

(No Ghost King!Danny AU where Danny retires as teen hero and now is living his best life as just a dude who goes to work and—sure, occasionally visiting friends in the ghost zone—doesn't do crime fighting much anymore.)

So Constantine leaves convinced Danny is Just Some Guy and this was a coincidence. Danny walks him to the door politely and cracks a joke about being careful not to trip on cracks on the sidewalk, don't want to make it easier on the assassins, right?

Two days later, Constantine trips on uneven sidewalk and accidentally sets off a trap that gets him kidnapped by assassins. Goddamnit.

Just, accidental prophet Danny.
