Going back to my idea where Wars and Time thought that Legend is secretly Ravio...

Ravio had put one of his cloaks into Legend's bag before he went through the first portal, and deep into the quest, the Chain get dumped into Wild's Hebra winter mountains where they have to seek shelter in a cave and Legend goes to change into warmer clothing and decides that Ravio's cloak is the warmest thing in his bag?

He puts it on without too much hesitation because the others haven't met Rav yet so no one has a reason to make fun of him. You know, besides the whole "bunny hood" thing. But he could easily just pass it off as a magic item of sorts. Time had mentioned a rabbit ear headband that he had used on a quest, so he had an excuse.

So Legend gets dressed and thinks he's in the clear. But then Warriors and Time who knew Ravio in the War of Eras turn around and see this:

I'm having so much fun with this idea :]

Really digging this trend of folks just absolutely dunking on Strahd's castle and taste when they get to Ravenloft

Jander Sunstar: "this place would be SO pretty actually if it wasn't so ugly 🥰"

And then you have Azalin's take on Ravenloft, which is fucking SCATHING

"It's so ugly he should just tear it down" like damn dude.

And the best part, in my opinion, is Strahd's response in his memoirs to Azalin's constant complaining about Ravenloft:

"Dear diary, Azalin said my castle is ugly and stupid but I think he's just jealous 😊💅🏻✨️💕"

so, it has two chapters already and a full outline. I've accepted my fate.

won't be out until sometime early next year, as I really need to get more of it written first but

of rage and ruin

werewolf!alpha!Joel Miller x omega!f!reader

warnings: dark, non-con, dub-con, dead dove do not eat, captivity, torture, forced proximity, altered state of mind, werewolves, canon-typical violence, genre-typical violence, more to be added, omegaverse, a/b/o-type dynamics but just like my writing there are no betas

It's not traditional omegaverse (it's mostly a plot device for the werewolf shenanigans), and I make up shit about werewolves and cordyceps. And a lot of things.

here's a snippet:

In his full glory, his senses are even sharper. Sharp enough that he can hear a faint sobbing across the building and Cheryl’s sharp laughter.  “I dunno,” she’s saying when he tunes in. “He sounds pretty excited to meet you.” The soft sobbing turns raw and cracked. He can smell the salt and phlegm, can practically taste it in the air. He’s aware of Cheryl, but nothing is louder than the way your heart is tripping over itself. When Cheryl’s words sink in, when he realizes he might actually get to have whatever delicious creature they’ve gotten him, he howls again, a long, aching sound that creeps down your bones like frost. Later, when he’s a little more present, he realizes they didn’t shock him either time he howled. It’s usually a guarantee.  Whatever game they’re playing, it doesn’t bode well for you.

Do you think Stubborn and Hunted would have a Big-Little brother dynamic? Big bro Stubborn always trying to give his younger, socially awkward brother opportunities to meet people,,,

oooh I haven't thought of them like that before but I really like it

I think stubborn originally had trouble distinguishing hunted from paranoid and thought of them as just 'the weak ones', because they were both small and skittish. hunted thought of stubborn as unpractically minded in dangerous situations because of stubborn's preference for constant fight over flight, so there was initially a mutual underestimation of the other.

However, over time, stubborn began to occasionally take hunted's advice in battle, which made him win more often, and hunted stuck by him because stubborn's strength made them feel safe and secure, as their own perceived weakness was compensated for. Eventually they just became a package deal during fights, hunted giving instructions (though not always listened to), and stubborn protecting them from danger.

After a while hunted just started shadowing stubborn for that sense of security, which stubborn was amused by but didn't mind. Hunted doesn't really think he needs people in his life (though he considers it his job to keep the others alive), and stubborn doesn't like deep or emotional conversations, so he never says anything about it, he just joins more conversations with the other voices when he notices hunted being particularly self-isolatory. No, no, it has nothing to do with the fact that he knows hunted will follow and feel more comfortable speaking if he's there... It is definitely not because it makes him happy when he sees hunted branching out...

So yes. I do think they should be siblings lol

Enjoy a bonus sketch of them being buddies!

i love how the main message in the wolf hall trilogy is how power, no matter how humble the person is, will corrupt and will make them a mirror of the people they hated. thomas spends a lot of time speaking poorly about the boleyns, the howards, gardiner, henry, etc., but he starts to mirror their personalities. he becomes cutthroat, treacherous, cruel, yet thinks he's untouchable.

what i don't think the message is, is that a low born man shouldn't come into power. because arguably, he was the only one there who could do the job right.

it is just interesting to see how he's transformed and essentially doesn't even realize it. but he becomes a darker, colder person and he starts to mirror that.

I think the difference between a lie and a story is that a story utilizes the trappings and appearance of truth for the interest of the listener as well as of the teller. A story has in it neither gain nor loss. But a lie is a device for profit or escape. I suppose if that definition is strictly held to, then a writer of stories is a liar - if he is financially fortunate.

Sonic Frontiers sold 3 million copies.

For comparison’s sake, Sonic 06 sold 800k, Sonic Unleashed sold under 2.5 million copies, Sonic Colors sold 2.1 million copies, and Sonic Generations sold 1.8 million copies. Sonic Lost World sold 700k and is one of the lowest selling main games in the Franchise and yet the Zeti are prominent in the comic. Sonic Forces sold a pitiful in its first week and we may never know exactly how much Sonic Forces actually sold(and it having 5 million plus on players on PSN+ is not any indication of a sale since it was free.) Yet somehow the comic takes place directly after Forces. Sonic Mania sold just over a million in case those hardcore Sonic classic fans want to open their mouths. While I’m at it, Sonic Adventure sold 1.3 million and SA2 sold 1.7 million. Sonic Rush sold 1.3 million and its sequel,which suffered after 06 tarnished Sonic’s reputation, sold 300k. The first Sonic game sold 15 million copies and before Retro fans start talking shit, note that is the only game in the franchise that sold that amount and it was in the golden age of gaming. You could sell a wet fart in an Nintendo cartridge and it would have made a million easy. Sonic 2? 6 million. Sonic 3? 1.03 million. Sonic and Knuckles? 1.3 million. Sonic CD? 1.5 million. Shadow the Hedgehog? 2 million. And Sonic Heroes and probably the biggest offender as to why Sonic Team stopped giving a shit about quality or effort and more about that Christmas grind? 3.41 million in 2 years.

Sonic Frontiers sold like gang busters in the couple of months it’s been out.

If you think Sage or any Frontiers elements won’t be referenced or be in the comic, you are bugging. Especially given that one of the main writers of the game writes for the comic. If that’s what is keeping you from saying IDW Sonic is on the same canon as the games and not what Iizuka says or what Flynn has stated several times, you are bugging. You are kidding yourselves if you think IDW can’t possibly put in those elements from the game in their comic.

If you don’t consider Tangle or Whisper to be game character in spite of them appearing in two mobile games that have been downloaded and played more than any Sonic game and have been created with the help of Sonic Team’s own character designer, fling yourself into the Nile River and cope and seethe. Tangle and Whisper have merchandise in the Sega Shop.

TailsTube shorts? Written by Flynn. That little Amy Rose Tarot Card set that is coming out soon? Written by Flynn with art created by one of the many IDW comic artists. This comic series has well over 50 issues including 4 different 4 part miniseries. It sold out in Japan! It’s consistently IDW’s top selling comic beating both the Transformers and Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles. It has sold over 10,000 copies an issue in a world where comics aren’t widely recognized unless it’s in the Marvel or DC. What they said in the beginning about it being diverged from canon no longer applies. Shit changed. It’s a new goddamn world. IDW Sonic is the only medium that actually uses your beloved obscure characters like Silver and Blaze. Like Cream. I don’t know what Flynn has done to make you turn up your nose at him but get over it. And the days of Sega pimping out Sonic to whatever Western media content creator and not caring what they churn out are over. The only exception to this is the movie verse(and because Iizuka has explicitly said it’s in a different canon)and honestly I have a tougher time trying to grasp how Sonic Prime is canon than I am with IDW. But regardless, it’s a new day. You are in a renaissance of Sonic and for once Sega gives enough of a shit about lore to want to make it all gel together and avoiding SATAM or Sonic Underground or Sonic the Comic or Archie Sonic the Hedgehog. Get the fuck over it.

bulgaria and macedonia approach latvia.

'hey latvia' bulgaria speaks up. 'how do you say "where" in your language?'

'oh it's kur'

bulgaria and macedonia look at each other and begin to laugh.

'what's so funny?' latvia begins to feel a bit uncomfortable, as if they're laughing at him.

'oh nothing we're not laughing at you it's just... can you repeat that word again?'

'kur?'

:D :D :D :D :D

'guys-'

'кур :D'

'what's so fun-'

'кур :D :D :D'

I hate when people use Jade as an excuse for why a certain ship (that has nothing to do with her) would work. Like yeah, both Jade and Jason are assassins and both met Roy, but it's kind of stupid to assume Roy would treat both the same way as if they didn't have very different motives to be who they are, how Roy met them, and why they live like this.

Okay, Jade is an assassin. But her reasons to become Cheshire are different than Jason's reasons to become Red Hood. Accepting to be trained and become a mercenary and killer was her only chance of survival. It was this or being sold as a slave. Also both Jade and her relationship with Roy are much more complex. They didn't know each other's identities when they first met, but when they found out, the things between them became a lot more messy. Roy ISN'T okay with the things Jade does and he talked about it more than once. He tried to convince her many, many times to change, and at one point gave up, bc he can't stand being with someone like this, no matter how much he loves her. Roy can understand why Jade lives this life, that's why he tries to help her and doesn't turn his back on her at all.

I'm not an expert on Jason, so a might say some bullshit now, but anyway Jason became Red Hood for revenge. He wanted revenge for his own death, revenge against Bruce for not killing the Joker and to prove to Bruce why his way isn't effective. Jason chooses violence to prove his point and that's what Roy wouldn't accept. Roy "too good to work in the darkness" Harper, the man who will question even Oliver's methods, avoids violence at any cost, aims at someone's clothing when shooting an arrow to hold them against the wall while Oliver aims for the shoulder, who is also very stubborn, wouldn't accept that. And there's the whole thing of Jason going to Start City and kidnapping Mia and threatening to kill her just to prove his point to Bruce

And lastly, there is this small little detail that JADE IS LIAN'S MOTHER and Roy doesn't have the right to keep a mother from seeing her daughter or letting whatever is going on between him and Jade affect her relationship with her DAUGHTER

Ok so I have random designs for characters laying around with only brief summaries to give context. Because my head does the lil ' hehe let's make something ' thing and that is really nice sometimes.

So first of all, this lady right here:

She's kinda a mermaid but not really? See I had this idea where mermaid sightings are really ghost ladies that got thrown overboard. She's living her best life, and I had this idea where Skulker and her are rivals because he kinda took out her eye, so now she hates him. She's chaotic, I don't know if she's neutral, helpful, or enemies with Danny, but I like the idea of a ghost mermaid, so either way she'd be interesting. Maybe the ghost zone has oceans or something?

Next up, this guy:

So he's much more straightforward - I wanted a chaotic flame casino owner. Because it just kinda fit for some reason. So then I made him mayor of like - a fire city in the GZ. Which is also filled with all sorts of casinos, shops, cinemas, and the like. I felt like it would contrast the Far Frozen if a fire realm was very urban and has a sleazeball for a ruler. He's like if Vlad had a twin that wasn't obsessed with the perfect family, and instead just wanted to fuck around and find out. His entire thing is that he hates being bored essentially. He could also be either a help or enemy to Danny depending on how they meet I think.

But yeah, my two random OC designs I don't if I'll ever fully flesh out! I have no names for them, and don't know if I will, but I sure designed them, and I sure am happy with them! •^•
