hah, i just remembered kdj saying his fav yjh regression is 999. the same regression who sacrificed himself every time for his companions, to the point of making deals with outer gods ending in his death. now kdj is one annoying rat/squid bastard who keeps scheming and then dying somewhere without telling anyone all because he wants his companions (most especially a certain sunfish) to stay alive...

i guess now we know who to blame for that brand of idiocy.

I remember seeing your mermaid Jote and birb joshua. and I love it so much!!!! And as a bonus I couldn’t stop imagining Jote with those large fan like things that ffxv leviathan has on the side of them. Idk what to call them ToT it’s the biggest and more obvious part of the leviathan design.

Thank you! 

Mer!Jote/Phoenix!Joshua AU is mainly inspired by two fics I read back in like, 2019 (here and another fic i lost for firebird keith and a half mer pirate lance help mee), I don’t have much of original content for this AU myself it's really just a mash of those two lol

Something about a little lonely Phoenix and a little curious Mermaid becoming childhood friends, Joshua would tell her about the sky, mountains and fire, Jote would tell him about the dark ocean depths, songs of the sea, they share activities like reading, how flying and swimming we’re basically the same (they rase whenever its safe) sharing foods, telling stories about humans cities (above or below the sea) etc 

Living in the ocean or the mountains, their worlds were very different and very similar at the same time

Get the taste of cockroach out of my head NOW!!!!!! its been there ALL DAY

[show-us-kaidenshenandoah]

most of the time, when i make tiktok comments (or comments on youtube or insta or, i guess, social media in general) my brain has me just Fucking Forget that im not in a one-on-one conversation with OP and other people can read what i say. thankfully: this comment is now deleted after i foolishly left it up on tiktok for five months

i dont mind leaving i leaving it up here though because this is tumblr. it fits the vibe. i can mute the post if worst comes to worst, whatever. i think its funny that my friends were more worried about Chris than a literal cockroach lol im just glad the og tiktok comment didnt break containment before i deleted it from there lol but here? this whole site is "containment", itll be fiiiiinnne ...probaabblllyyyy

bc, yeah, luckily, this comment got only 2 likes. it was from a tiktok made by @/nerdymixedpan about: monster fuckery "hear me out"s? golden, great choices, will be allowed to speak even if no one agrees, no one is worried about Tat at all for any of their picks. human "hear me out"s? Tat's wife worries "you just like freaky lil white boys" as Tat is fussed over

but yeah!! Tat's sentiment reminded me of "my childhood (with some lifelong, but not all) 'hear me out's, but it gets worse as we go along" powerpoint i made and showed my friends for powerpoint night. and so i made an admittance in the above comment that, AS A KID (NOT NOW), i had crushes on Chris Mclean from "Total Drama Island" and the Headless Roach Man (is apparently his official wiki name) from "Growing Up Creepie"

and i think, for me, part of it is "monster fuckery? Kaiden-Shenandoah, youve been rarely NOT rigidly asexual your whole life. nobody is going to worry about you loving monster-romances and scream at 'but what about their genitalia?! you cannot possibly want to fucking bed that Lovecraftian horror!!' or some shit, bc you dont have any interest in that, so it's kinda like 'eh... our friends have had worse significant others we have had to tolerate'. at least we dont have to picture how the fuck sex would work" (bc apparently allosexuals, i guess, picture how the hell the sex could work when sizing up a loved one's partner? and they have the audacity to call ME their "favorite lil freaky weirdo". im as "freaky" as freshly cleaned Barnes & Noble, fam, idk what the fuck youre on) and all of that somehow nullifies all possible grotesqueness or horror of my monster picks. like "i kicked my feet and giggled as a lil kid over a nonspeaking, headless, giant cockroach", y'know?? nothing. they give me fucking nothing lmao rip

put an irl cockroach, head or no head (nonspeaking regardless) that is normal-cockroach-size, in front of my friends? there'd be so much screaming. but i get it, sure, the cockroach character in the ppt is 2D animated and will never be real. an actual cockroach is, y'know, obviously real. i get the dissonance there. i do. i get it. im befuddled... but i do get it, yes

and yet somehow the same logic does not impact my human "hear me out"s as my friends went "WTF KAIDEN-SHENANDOAH, YOU CANT GET WITH THIS MAN, HE'S THE DEVIL". like?? okay. but the headless extremely tall cockroach with no speaking-lines who lives in a sewer is fine?? both of these guys are 2D animated. neither are real. still. one of these png files got me a "lmao you cannot be serious... i mean, i GUESS, sure? carry on" and the other png file got me a "KAIDEN-SHENANDOAH, ABSOLUTELY NOT, NO, SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOURE DONE, NO, NOBODY'S HEARING YOU OUT, NO, NOPE, NO, SIT THE FUCK DOWN, LIKE HONESTLY, WTF". and, shockingly, it was the human man who got my friends kicking and screaming

granted, Chris absolutely is a stellar example of "if Satan was a mortal man" but also? s1 and s2 Chris was not so bad, he just did his job. he got unhinged as he stayed at that job. and im ngl im intrigued at the idea of how the fuck would this man function with something as benign yet allowing for obsession like a crush or being in love. but also? yeah, no, the straight-jacket and pillow-walled room i got put in for this one was warranted, yep, i get how i got here

'How well would your OCs do against a cockroach' Tag

Taking @touloserlautrec's open tag! I'll leave this an open tag too.

Winchester crew (TFA)

Dez: just watching it. Probably trying to identify it on the network. 0% concerned.

Syndy: ugh you have to smash these, they're bad news. [misses like five times and then manages to smash it into the engravings on her feet] Peeeteeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Peter: it's okay I'll have these cleaned up in a sec. Oh look, there's another one. Let me-- oh, never mind, Tulip [his dog] just ate it.

Zel: believes the cockroach is too fast to squish, therefore it is, no matter how carefully she approaches it with a shoe (it would be Zalen's shoe if he ever wore anything that wasn't heels. This delicate procedure requires surface area).

Anni: chasing it around furniture trying to capture it in a glass while running through all the possible reasons there could be a cockroach??? in her house???

Julian: sighs and manages to stomp it on the first try.

Hoven: stares at it and wills it not to come any closer before he can make Julian deal with it.

Urma: climbs on the table and calls Anni.

Nicea crew

Declan: immediately decides this is above his pay grade and goes to find someone else to deal with it.

Cady: cockroach trapper extraordinaire. The cockroach is now living its best life over in the woods and it better stay there.

Rodney: he should do something about this. And he will. Probably. When he's done watching it in horror and not moving an inch.

Isabel: tries to smash it, misses, enters rage mode. It will not escape her. She will be waiting (and reasoning out whether she has brought the cockroach with her snack habits or it's unrelated).

Spinder: concocting a plan to hit it on the first try with whatever is closest to him, but it vanishes while he's thinking about it.

Tristan: not at all worried about getting up close and personal with the cockroach but still having a bad time trying to catch it or even squish it.

Tatya: in true cowgirl fashion, herds it out the door.

Bo: is anyone looking? No? They grab it off the wall and stuff it into their mouth.

Nicea taglist: @kahvilahuhut @kingkendrick7 @outpost51

maretu tribute since my bf requested i draw miku

Gwyn's lube under the pillow habit opened my eyes to the fact that I could, in fact, store things under my pillows. Nothing as fun as lube but chapstick? At arm's reach. Hair clips, cough drops, scrunchies? Voilà, right there! Life changing haha!

Lmao, it's definitely doable!

The biggest issue with it is: Things rolling under or behind mattresses and getting stuck between the bedhead/wall and mattress, or falling onto the floor.

Also, if you are someone who tucks your hand under your pillows at night (like me) hitting random bits and pieces is extremely annoying, so I personally leave the habit to Gwyn.

But yes, it can be doable! Also like, slipping things into pillowcases keeps them very secure?

(Though I beg, please no cough drops, this is how we get ants)

Every once in a while I get cursed to rewatch some movie I saw once when I was like 9 and enjoyed then never thought about again, only this time for some unfathomable reason it ingrains itself into my brain and spins around in there ad nauseum and I can't do shit to stop it. And it's always completely random shit from 30 yrs ago like. Tell me why I'm thinking about men in black at 11 pm on a Saturday
