#they won't do this but it would be so fucking funny

[mechncheese]

Answering some AU related asks in this post so I don't flood your feed ! I wanna draw some of these so those will be included in a separate post later on !

Jetfire, Ratchet, Wheeljack and Perceptor are on an Optimus assigned mission so that's why/how they're working together !

Prowl and Brainstorm join them later ! Prowl broke Brainstorm out of prison as a really terrible backup plan after the Jetfire's team gets compromised (full context for the AU's locations can be read here) but in summary, Luna 2, where the team was originally working, was raided by Decepticons. This forced Jetfire's team to jump through the Spacebridge to an unknown location.

Brainstorm and Prowl with the help of others storm Luna 2 and hijacks the Spacebridge so Brainstorm and Prowl can get to Jetfire's team. They only buy enough time for a one way trip so now Brainstorm and Prowl are stuck with the Science Team.

As a pitbull owner, this made me chuckle, I imagine he kinda acts like one too. His whale eye of judgement and him having absolutely no sense of personal space and getting into everyone's business. Sometimes he can look incredibly sad and pathetic. Who want him?

Honestly, he's probably considered it and then went "no, no bad Skyfire ! that's an awful thought !"

HONESTLY REAL, Jetfire would be the designated chef, I imagine he cooks in big ass portions because he eats a lot. Ratchet is the second designated chef of the science team, Perceptor mixed up the salt and sugar and fucked up the soup. Prowl only cooked enough food for himself.

First Aid is like ratatouille while Red Alert would overcook all his food out of fear.

Wheeljack and Brainstorm cook the worst meal ever, forced to be removed from the kitchen. Brainstorm probably steals a bite from everyone's food though just because "it tastes better when it's from your plate"

Thank you ! Brainstorm's wings get in the way of Everyone and Everything and he's probably ruined countless of Percy's (and everyone else's) carefully put together experiments. I think he has similar energy to when someone with a long ponytail turns around and accidentally whacks you in the face but on a much more painful scale.

In no particular order and mostly with the Science Team;

Staying up the longest without recharge

One sided racing with Jetfire, whether it be to the other side of the room, lounging area, kitchen, outside, doesn't matter he just needs to get there first (Jetfire chooses not to acknowledge this)

Engex drinking (He's actually an incredibly lightweight drinker, and the quickest to knock out out of the scientists but that won't stop him from trying)

Getting his lab reports done fastest

He keeps trying to challenge Perceptor in a game of scrabble and keeps losing

anything, and I mean ANYTHING in regards to Brainstorm, he will try his hardest to one up that guy

Wheeljack does not fuck around during group game night

Secretly playing a game of "lets see how many times I can lap everyone around the Science Base"

Glaring contest with Ratchet, whoever looks away first loses (also one sided, Ratchet's lost in thought)

"Do you dare me to do this thing?" "no" "ok im doing it"

Ratchet likes to nap, he's a big fan of getting rest and he definitely needs it, he probably snores like crazy tho. Wheeljack likes to drive long distances, doesn't need a location or anything he just likes driving around. Jetfire likes to read and journal his thoughts, his only way to cope and vent around here </3. Perceptor likes word puzzles, crosswords, word search, etc, he would be a HUGE wordle fan.

They have game nights together, mostly board games.

Brainstorm has never heard of the term “relax” in his life but he does like to push other bot’s buttons for fun. He wants to know what makes them tick. Prowl has never heard of the term “fun” in his life but he does like to sit in solitude and darkness in the quiet away from everyone.

The adding height to his wings bit is really funny omg

But nah, Wheeljack’s not really self conscious about his height. He prefers it over being Jetfire’s height. At least Wheeljack can fit through most doorways.

BAHAHA, where there's Prowl there’s Brainstorm and vice versa. Honestly I’m not sure which guy the Science Team fears more.

I'm sure that when they see Prowl around, they just look around the room for Brainstorm like they've just lost sight of a spider they've been keeping an eye on.

[egg-emperor]

Do you ever find yourself being genuinely upset when eggman loses, or do you see it as an important part of the formula/part of the characters charm? As a fellow eggfucker I flip-flop between these constantly and I want to hear your take.

I flip-flop too, it's an inevitable needed part of the plot and without it, we wouldn't have his admirable resilience and determination to keep following his dreams no matter how many times he fails, as "he never gives up" is even listed as a strength in his Sonic Jam bio

His confidence, determination, and belief he can do it is unwavering no matter how many times he fails. He'll assure with complete certainty that he will realize his dreams of world domination and there's times he's said he already has his revenge planned and won't fail this time

So most of the time it's not sad as it's expected but of course when you love Eggman so much you'll be like "aw man" every time if you're the type who will still root for him because you fully support his evil dreams and would love for him to own and rule the world hehe

But the couple of times where he is more visibly upset and grumpy I'm like nooo :(((

Like when he was so upset with his plan being ruined in Adventure that he tried to say fuck it and just blow up Station Square and when the missile was a dud that lead him to try to detonate it himself, fully knowing he was going to die with it with his "I'll take the whole city with me" line

And the time he looked really sad and grumpy for a moment at the end of Unleashed after his massive world scale plan and how proud he was of Eggmanland just for it to be ruined.

Then he exploded into rage when SA-55 wouldn't stop rubbing it in while he was especially sensitive after his defeat and he'd been riling him up all game and it makes the most sense for him to express his sadness through anger too

And the time he was trying to keep it together and get back home before his day could get any worse after losing in Lost World but then found out he lost half of his mustache and that was the tipping point for his anger and he looked so upset to lose such a prized possession of his

That's how you know his mustache is real, he put so much effort and love into growing it and it was ruined, he was devastated

My poor boy, I'd kiss his cute round cheek that's much more visible with half a stache missing and tell him he still looks handsome no matter what 💜

Like yeah he's fucked up and evil and the world is better off in terms of health and safety when he's defeated but have you considered that he's handsome and precious and lovable and funny and I adore him and would happily give it all away for him and I never want him to be sad ever??? Fuck everyone and everything else Idc dhsjfndkghdg

But yeah the feelings are mixed because it adds a lot to his charm by emphasizing how this man can lose thousands of times and keep getting back up and trying again. It serves an important narrative purpose and strengthens his character

I mean holy shit. Give this man the props and respect he deserves for always pulling himself back up and going another round

Plus I like to imagine getting to tend to and comfort him, help him feel better after his defeats and fully agree with him and hype him up to further boost his determination when he says he'll win next time and that makes me happy again 🥰

Tragic Maizulee time travel au

Prompt: When she hits the waters, it is quick, and it is a kinder end than most would receive. But it is cruel in a way. How Azula dies alone with nobody she has ever loved by her side.

Far away, two girls choke on an influx of memories.

(Extra notes: this is combining two concepts here; 1st concept is Mai and Ty Lee time-traveling to the past; 2nd concept is a canon divergence where Azula dies when Iroh tosses her overboard; together, we get a glorious clusterfuck of emotions and a beautiful mess.

In the future that the girls are from, it's been 6 years since the end of the war; by now, they've grown up a lot and understand some of the tragedies of their youth a bit better; but they're bitter, tired, and fuck it, they're downright envious of how everyone else seems to be healing and moving on when they're not; they can't, not when Azula haunts their memories; she's been missing ever since she escaped the asylum; Ty Lee can easily pretend she's peachy perfect and fake it to anyone and everyone, but not to Mai; Mai sees the rage Ty Lee hides behind laughs that verge on sharpness; she sees how Ty Lee's much quicker these days to let a smile slip for a sneer the moment the person she's talking to turns around; Mai sees it because she feels it too underneath all the apathy she forces herself to drown on; because if she reaches deep inside and lets herself feel, she's not sure if she'll ever stop being angry; and beneath that, she fears something far more than the anger.

Ty Lee sees Mai too; she sees how Mai goes by, day-by-day, as if she's fading into the background; she doesn't get why, even after all this time, Zuko was the one Mai chose (why couldn't Mai have chosen them?); they could've had it all, she thinks; sure, it wasn't all sunshine and fun, but it was exhilarating, the way they fought together; so natural in the way they fell into place side-by-side, it was like they were meant to do this, to be grander than everybody else; she always knew the three of them could face the world down; Ty Lee thinks she hates Mai sometimes; other times, she thinks she loved Mai too in a way; and now, surrounded by all the 'freedom' she could have, finds there's nowhere she can run to that won't remind her of what she lost.

Due to reasons, Mai and Ty Lee are together in some room or a cave of sorts (doesn't matter) before things go wonky with time; they wake up to the past; Mai is in Omashu with the stifling presence of her parents once again, and Ty Lee is in the same circus that she ran away to all those years ago (she doesn't even remember the name of it anymore); it's absurd, but having seen some of the feats the Avatar was capable, Mai and Ty Lee eventually come to accept this.

So at first, Mai and Ty Lee are waiting for the inevitable, for Azula to pop up and recruit them; but weeks pass, and they get more anxious as nothing happens; news soon arrive of the princess's death; Ty Lee promptly travels toward Omashu to get Mai; mistakenly, they come to the conclusion that either Iroh or Zuko must have also come back in time; Mai doesn't like to think it's Zuko despite how distant she's become from him, but she has to accept the truth that it is a very likely possibility; Ty Lee is the one who wholeheartedly believes it's Zuko, but maybe that's also her resentment talking; but then Ty Lee recalls of Iroh, the old man she used to think was funny, and remembers how he didn't even visit Azula once before she escaped; in fact, she tells Mai how she once overheard that it was Iroh who suggested for Azula to reside in that damn asylum; just like that, Mai wholeheartedly believes it's Iroh who traveled back in time, and this is definitely her anger talking.

Note how these two have immediately jumped to action instead of processing what Azula's death means to them; subconsciously, they both know that when they finally take in the knowledge of Azula being dead, it's going to be an explosive and ugly moment.

Meanwhile, Iroh and Zuko are on the run; Iroh doesn't even know that he's killed Azula until their wanted posters are updated to include that they've killed the crown princess, and that they're not to be brought back in chains, but rather killed on sight; Zuko is shell-shocked and is in denial at first, believes that somehow, someway, Azula survived; she's too smart, too powerful, too lucky to die a simple death; but then he remembers of all the bodies that floated past them as they left the Northern Water Tribe, that it doesn't take long for the cold to seep away the inner flame; then he moves onto blaming her for ruining his chance for ever getting home, but this resentment doesn't hold on long much to his bafflement; he wants to be indifferent, to hate her, to forget about the girl Uncle said smiled at his Burning; and for awhile (3 years actually), that worked out just fine; but he hears rumors of how her body never resurfaced from the waters; to die so far away from home and from the sun's light, it's a terrifying thought; he didn't think it'd ever happen to Azula of all people.

So yeah, Zuko doesn't get it; he doesn't understand how Iroh can sit there and look unchanged; he doesn't care for Azula, doesn't even like her, but three years is a long time, and he has nothing else to show for it.

"This is your fault," he says to Iroh. His voice grows louder to the point he's shouting. "It's your fault! I could have gone home one day, and if it weren't for you, Azula would still be alive! How does it feel," and the fire sparks from his mouth, "how does it feel killing another kid!" He leaves before the guilt can set in; but it sets in anyway as he catches how stricken Iroh looks from the corner of his eyes; Zuko parts ways with Iroh. They won't ever meet again until the other is long gone, ashes in the wind. This too will be another regret that will haunt the living.

Over at the Fire Nation, a civil war erupts as the death of a highly beloved figure becomes known across the nation; Ozai's hold on the throne has always been tenuous, and this whole ordeal quickly becomes far greater than anybody could have imagined; in fact, it becomes a revolution; once more, Azula is used as a propaganda symbol; from the People's Princess to a martyr, the Fire Nation's people march on for a different government.

Mai and Ty Lee can't fix anything at this point, or at least fix what they really cared about, so they try to salvage what they can; plot happens and things escalate for the worse (maybe Ba Sing Se tries to expand their Joo Dee program? maybe the N.W.T. finally joins the war? maybe some spirit thing happens?); things come to a head the day Mai and Ty Lee are traveling along an unoccupied coastline, and a corpse washes ashore; it's decayed and eaten at to the point no notable facial features remain; but they know that body, the hairpiece in her hair, the rusted armor she dons; her neck is visibly snapped in half, and the sight of it is something they can't comprehend; Azula has always been larger than life; even worse is how small and fragile her body appears (has she always been that young?).

This is where their faint denials and hope for her being secretly alive come to an end; this is the explosive and ugly moment; they can't give her the full rites a princess like Azula would have demanded, but they can at least set her soul free; her body is burned within a week; some of the ashes are scattered, some are kept; plans are tossed aside, destinations rerouted; they need something visceral, and they need to something to lessen their pain; they burn down the asylum Azula was sent to; Mai and Ty Lee come to an understanding, an agreement; no more child soldiers, no more of asylums like Azula's, no more of the people who let that happen, people who passed on their greed and desires for bloodshed onto the next generation; they want the world to burn, and the Fire Nation is as good as any other place to start)

[allypines]

crazy that the first thing either of us post about KoaC is a ship chart lmaoo

i'm so sorry fellswaps and swapfells but i needed room for the others

explanations (yapping) vv

first off, KoaC is predominately about a victorious!geno who enters the multiverse after erasing his timeline. The development of his relationship with Nightmare (among others) is the driving force behind the plot, and therefore it would be heavy spoilers to describe it now.

Nightmare is a badmare-leaning bitchmare, but is still only Nightmare. The human soul/essence was removed almost immediately.

Killer, Murder ("Dust"), Horror, and Cross are all under Nightmare's control. Needless to say, they hate him. They only kind of hate each other though. Killer's general nature and his position as Nightmare's favorite create a bit of distance between him and the others, but there's a trauma-bonded, coping mechanism, fucked up solidarity between them.

Despite never actually being together, Nightmare and Error act like toxic, bitter exes. Killer was the only subordinate around when Nightmare's arrogance blew up in his face, and he very, very quietly enjoyed the vengeance Error dealt to Nightmare. That's all I'll say about that for the time being lol.

Nightmare is terrified of Reaper and does all he can to avoid him. Reaper knows this and acknowledges that it's partly his own fault, but he also partly doesn't care. It isn't Reaper's job to pay attention to Nightmare, but Nightmare is familiar to him, which means that Reaper is at least a little bit fond of him. Whenever they do cross paths, Reaper makes sure to verbally poke him a bit.

Reaper and Error have a long history. Error's "job" tended to mess with Reaper's job, which then messed with Error's job. Basically, they saw each other a lot in the early days. Error found Reaper incredibly frustrating at the start, because he was unkillable, and he was taking the abominations Error was trying to erase, and he was always tALKING WHILE ERROR WAS TRYING TO FOCUS- yeah. Error loosened up over time, enough to even trade quips back and forth and compete a little. He grew a little dependent on the vague feeling of companionship between them, and Reaper was the one he went to when he wanted a way to die. Reaper, for his part, is fond of Error, but that fondness is tainted by guilt and sadness. Error is still the first Geno, and Reaper feels a bit of responsibility that he wasn't able to convince Geno to rest, thus leading to Error's painful existence. Errors cannot be "saved" by Reaper, so now all Reaper can offer him is friendly banter when they see each other.

Reaper knows Horror quite well. Because Horror was already "dead", he could see Reaper whenever he came to collect the humans Horror had killed in his AU. Reaper's reaction to Horror's situation was "yikes", which Horror found darkly funny (and even a little refreshing). They share a morbid sense of humor, and Horror genuinely enjoyed any distraction he could get from his reality. Their first meeting after Horror had been taken by Nightmare was an accident on Horror's part, but after that, whenever he needed a distraction and could get away with it, Horror would kill one random person on purpose for the chance to talk to Reaper. Reaper doesn't offer to help Horror, and Horror doesn't ask him to. Being able to talk to someone outside of Nightmare's influence, to experience any amount of normalcy, for a few moments is enough to ground him.

Reaper did not spend as much time raising Dream as Ink did, but in some ways Reaper's influence was much more important. Reaper taught Dream what it meant to be a Guardian, not a hero or a servant. He knows that Dream won't ever be able to just be a Guardian after eating the golden apple (now carrying his domain inside himself), but he does his best to help Dream figure out and understand what his responsibilities actually are. They occasionally see each other in the aftermath of Nightmare's attacks. Reaper is much softer to Dream than to anyone else, and Dream tries to focus on Reaper's voice in his head, instead of those of the villagers.

Fuck I got carried away, okay, time to speedrun the rest (edit: I did not speedrun the rest)

On the omega timeline side of things, swap sans #1 aka "swap" was living there after his universe was destroyed. He is good friends with Lust and Dance (who are besties), but his closest friends for sure are Sci and Fell. They play dnd together and other silly-serious roleplaying stuff. Blueberror offered his place in swap timeline #2 to him, but Swap declined. Even though he declined, he still appreciated the offer so so so much. Swap is Berror's number one defender and doesn't let anyone in the omega timeline get away with talking badly about him (even if he may deserve it).

Fell, Comic (classic), Sci, Swap, Outer, Dream, Blue (swap #3), Epic, and Blueberror (among others) are all part of the Reducing the Effects of Nightmare's Bullshit group. This mostly just includes providing aid to a timeline after the attack has already happened to mitigate the spread and staying power of the negativity. Epic mostly just assists Sci when he needs it, and brings every report back to Ccino's to share with the squad.

Epic sanses are epic sanses. They love each other, and they spend a lot of their time in the corner booth at Ccino's. Ccino (#2) has been in the omega timeline for years and hasn't left it. He's never met Nightmare before, and his friends (especially Delta) are insistent on keeping it that way. He knows that the Ccino from Fluffytale #1 was involved with Nightmare somehow, and disappeared (was pronounced dead) sometime after. He knows that Epic, Delta, and Color all hate Nightmare with varying degrees of intensity, so he's fine disliking Nightmare by proxy. The front counter at Ccino's is usually taken up by Outer and Farm. The three are besties. Outer and Ccino specifically being in a qpr. No one knows how Farm finds the time to laze around the cafe And grow enough to supply the cafe with half its ingredients. No one knows if he ever sleeps.

Rolling back around to Blueberror, he and Error go through a LOT of ups and downs, but they settle on being prickly besties. They can't actually spend a lot of time together before friendly arguments start to get heated. They don't Want to hate each other, so they try to avoid the past and mostly just gossip about other people. They feel tied together, but their edges don't fit together at all and being that close quickly gets uncomfortable, if not painful, but there's no one else who really gets it, so... they manage. It's not great by any means, but it's the best that two errors can do.

Blueberror and Fresh, on the other hand, get along great. On the surface, you'd think they were the best of friends, but their feelings for each other are actually surprisingly shallow. Sure, Blueberror is interesting, but he's interesting in the way that Error was already interesting, so Fresh doesn't actually spare him much of his thought or focus. Berror doesn't mind that at all. Prefers it, actually. They have a good, fun, easy "friendship" that doesn't actually require much from them.

Error and Fresh sure are something. No one knows what, but it's something.

Nightmare and Fresh are... neutral. Fresh owes much of his emotional intelligence to reading every book in Nightmare's library, which he only did with Nightmare's permission. Fresh is respectful... for the most part. He can't help but throw a half-hidden jab in here and there when they talk. Nightmare figures it's just his nature to do so, and lets him off with a warning every time. Fresh absolutely means them.

Ink is not actually around much. His "job" has him traveling all across the multiverse. He doesn't linger anywhere for very long, and he doesn't care to form any meaningful connections with anyone. Error is the only exception to this, and Ink has yet to figure out why that is. He woke Dream from his stone prison at the insistence of a Creator that doing so would help curb Error and Nightmare's rampage (it did not. One could even say it made Nightmare worse.). He'll say he raised Dream, but he didn't really do much, nor does he care about Dream any more than he does about other "important" outcodes.

Dream loves Blue (swap #3). It's actually crazy how much Dream loves Blue. Blue taught Dream to fight, Blue fights by Dream's side in a way no one else does, Blue makes Dream feel like a person, Blue catches his bad habits, Blue listens to him talk, Blue remembers his favorite flowers, how many blankets he likes to sleep with, which desserts he does and doesn't like, his opinion on cotton vs linen. The two of them are more than a little codependent actually. Blue tries to be more levelheaded about their relationship, but it's not easy to be. They're both quite young, for outcodes, and neither one has ever had a partner like this before. If they had any time to settle down, they would be able to work through it and be a little healthier about it, but as it is, Dream has to constantly protect the multiverse from Nightmare, and Blue has to constantly protect Dream from Nightmare.

Blueberror makes Blue viscerally uncomfortable, but he tries not to let that color his interactions with him.

Fatal's origins are a bit different in this multiverse than in his canon, but rest assured he still wants to kick Error's ass. Double G comes from the same inciting incident as Fatal, but has something else completely going on. He goes around interrupting the genocide scripts he finds (Ink is constantly trying to get him to stop). If he stumbles across a timeline that Fatal has interfered with, he regards the glitching aftermath fondly. He can't remember why exactly.

I think everyone else's relationships are either as expected, or not all that relevant to this specific story. None of Geno's relationships happen right away, especially not his relationship with Murder, but I had to tease that found family >:3

Ship chart but it’s not a ship chart it’s a friendship/found family/QPR chart

ok arcane s1 act 1 misc thoughts (SPOILERS)

-i like that a lot of the rich characters (cait's family, some council members) have transatlantic accents. i didnt really notice at first but upon rewatch of ep 2 it was super apparent and i love it

-i never got super into vander's character bc by the end of ep 1 i was like Yeah this guy is super dead. the 2 other kids who died as well (never even learned their names lol). also there was a lot more vander + silco than i thought there would be? like they laid it all out at once. i kind of knew they knew each other in the past from fandom osmosis but i expected it to be more of a slow burn reveal i guess

-im interested to see what the show does with ekko specifically. i know he becomes more prominent later on AND has stuff going on with jinx/powder, which i was honestly expecting them to set up more? like have them be friends or like talk to each other once lol. anyway he was pretty minor thus far so im intrigued in what they're gonna do with him

-i know vi goes to prison after this, but the guard who chloroformed her seemed to be trying to save her??? so i have no idea what's happening actually

-i knew silco was gonna adopt powder but i was honestly expecting it to be more? calculated? on his part? like he finds out powder was the one who blew up the building, and is like ooooh new talent. hey kid. do you want to join my gang of evil drug warlocks. but nope he genuinely reached out to her in a moment of grief against his better judgement. kind of a baller move mr. lesbian i respect that

-also powders eyes turned purple for emotional reasons and not magic drug reasons? cool. didnt know peoplw could do that

-Heimerdinger War Flashback last episode was kind of really funny im sorry i cant take this guy seriously. but i also got distracted because there were horses in the flashback and for some reason that surprised me? it did not occur to me that horses exist in the arcane universe. they just don't fit the vibe. also this guy is transparently what if yoda were lorax

-also i wanna know how the fuck jayce and his mom and the wizard (viktor probably) got to piltover after all that in the flashback. did the wizard summon a honda civic to drive them home or what. also, what were they doing there??

-and jayce keeps saying "magic real. ive seen it" but refusing to elaborate??? if i got saved by a wizard who warped space and time then gave me a cool rock i would make it my personality. which i guess he kind of did but you'd think he'd be telling people about it more. maybe he thinks people won't believe him? silly jayce. magic tech isnt real. you escaped the siberian tundra through the power of science. athiests on christmas waiting for charles darwin to come down the chimney etc

-i cant tell if mel is just one councilmember and not like above all the others OR straight up the president or whatever? she clearly has influence but i cant tell if she's everyone elses boss or not. maybe they said something about that in dialogue and i missed it. also is piltover an oligarchy or do they inherit their council positions or what? somehow i don't feel like normal democracy is on the table here

-what is it exactly jayce (and viktor) were trying to do WITH the magic? this always bugs me in tv shows when they just say "im working on some Science Tech Inventions" and dont elaborate on what those inventions are. are the magic balls a source of infinite renewable energy??? please tell me what you're actually doing with the sparkly zero-g machine

-vander's dying words being "protect powder" and vi immediately doing the opposite of that is crazyyyyy sure hope that doesnt haunt her for the rest of her life lol

-was genuinely distracted by the cool ass crab logo on the abandoned building. that was sick as hell. i love crabs

for all ruin x his Monty enjoyers I have this short of headcanon that ruin's Monty is just like how Monty is in the game but when he is around ruin he turns into a soft himbo like kronk level himbo. And ruin finding it booth funny and endearing constantly tease him and flirt with him about it. And his Monty wants to be seen as this big old tough guy yet ruin is constantly reminding him about how soft he truly is. And he just fucking melts at any physical affection ruin gives him and any time he tries to yell like he would do to anyone else ruin gives him that smug smirk he loves so much. And his Monty is also so damn protective of him like even ruin tells him it's not a big deal who won't let him get hurt if he is upset he will drop everything and try his best to comfort him. He may not be great at it by he tries @goodolddumbbanana

I want the advertisement for sonic 3 to be as insane as some of the sa2 advertisment

etc etc

Like I want ppl who don't know sonic to think shadow will be evil incarnate. And then find out actually he's just a little guy with a lot of trauma. Paramount are you listening to me

[necrotic-nephilim]

in lieu of having posted any writing/headcanons/asks in the past few days because i have been *so* busy and unable to do anything fandom-related which is terrible and evil, i have a poll out of morbid curiosity and self-indulgence. i've been meaning to ramble here about how i feel about DC's lack fo Deaf representation and which Batfam members i would personally make Deaf, but i am mildly curious about the larger opinion and now i will subject you all to the question, i would love to hear thoughts/opinions/headcanons on any specific choices. (would love d/Deaf/HoH opinions esp but i'm mostly expecting this to reach the hearing crowd, so opinions from hearing ppl are ones i'm very curious about. if you've never given it thought before you are going to now or else /lh)

Post-PG AU where everyone survives (including Faquarl), but Nat still gets hospitalised because he got the whole Glass Palace falling on him and Kitty still suffers from the trip to the Other Place, so her and Bart take usual visits to the hospital merely everyday (Bart says it's because Kitty still needs assistance with her walking but he also just wants to watch If Nat wouldn't die from the runny nose or something, human are quite fragille, your know). Except one day Kitty and Nathaniel unitedly agree Bartimaeus has been on Earth for a bit too long (and Nat cannot elaborate, he was the one too keep him here for the 2+ years and he KNOWS it was the worst thing he's ever done in this situation) so they have to let him go for a while.

Bartimaeus does not want to leave his baldy injured humans unattended (he doesn't put it this way but no one cares), so he ask...Faquarl. And oh, this is the biggest nightmare ever, but, hey. Why not¹. He goes like "Listen, you have just kinda made a spirit revolution, almost destroyed London (I agree this is a rathole, but you were supposed to give it a dignity, as every great jinnie including myself), almost killed my friend a really good acquaintance of mine, almost murdered my master and me in my most glorious self (this one hurt, by the way). So, If maybe I can ask you by a little flavour, after which I won't give you anything at all and absolutely nothing would change, except maybe I will hate you one point one percent less. Deal?

And, before Faquarl can disagree, he starts unpacking the whole list of stuff he'll supposed to do for the next two weeks.

"Look after John sleeping normally, because he's a pain in the ass and he will not, be free to tell Kitty puch him with a stick If nedeed, maybe cook them something normal (maybe eggs) (mankind has been going progressively worse when it comes to food and I know you know that, the hospital food is particularly made of plastic.) Also John wouldn't drink coffee unless there's absolutely zero sugar in it, what a sensitive child, do not allow him to drink coffee under any circumstances. He knows damn well the doctors forbade him from doing so. Kitty should not walk more than two hours a day (and a walk from a hospital to her apartment is already about half an hour), she's also supposed to have some kind of support for standing as well, she will say she's able to manage everything alone and as much as I tend to believe her, no. No she's not, unless it would lead her to the position of the unfortunate idiot for the rest of her life. Johh, on the other side is not supposed to walk at all no matter what he thinks of himself and...no I don't love humans at all, what made you think so????"

(¹There was a lot of reasons "why not", actually, but I'm afraid If I start listing them all humans will ban me from existence for beating every possible word count).

I know that it is silly nonsense, but part of me seems to not have given up all hope yet regarding a repeat of the 2020 US Election Miracle, complete with random ships that no-one in their right mind would expect to go canon to actually go canon. Except that things really seem quite desperate, regarding the levels of apathy I keep seeing here. So, like, maybe Destiel is not strong enough to save us from this one.

No, we need something even more powerful. We need Stucky.

CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW FUNNY THAT WOULD BE?!

Save us, Captain America.

are you looking for something new to read? do you like negative character development? the most fridged woman of all time? inconsistent magic? a world where being straight is illegal? the funniest dialogue you will ever read? the most annoying b plots you will ever read? plot twists that take your breath away? pacific rim? pages and pages of car facts being forced down your throat? heinous amounts of mild gore? never getting the emotional fulfillment you crave as a reader? nineteen books and counting for no good reason? then why not try skulduggery plea-- [gunshots and when the smoke clears I'm lying dead on the ground]

People saying "Don't boycott Eurovision or Israel will win!!" - they already won the second they got past the semifinals. Israel is going to be the winner of this year, especially with the way things are going down at the moment.

You wanted Israel to not win? You guys should've made sure they didn't get to the finals to begin with- though I wouldn't doubt EBU would've changed some votes or pulled some bullshit to add Israel in the finals regardless of making it or not.

This is far from my best work, but it's 1:30am, and I needed to get this down before I slept or lost my mind. So here, take a snippet of Rook seeing Zara again for the first time in 3 years.

Trying, and failing, to keep his voice from shaking, [Rook] said “Hello, Captain.” Mouth still open in surprise, [Zara] replied “Well, hello yourself.” The reality of what she was seeing seemed to hit her as she rounded the desk. “Rook, is that really you?” He nodded. “It’s me.” Zara ran towards him, stopping just short of touching him, and said “What did she do to you?” Rook’s heart stuttered and he had to brush his fingers together to confirm Sigmar’s ring was still in place. Could she possibly see through its illusion? But then he remembered what Lanny had said. She knew where you were. His throat clenched and he choked out “Two years.” A wave of grief swept across Zara’s face as she said “I’m so, so sorry.” Rook shook his head vigorously. “It’s not your fault.” Zara ignored him. “It is my fault. I failed you. As your captain, it’s my responsibility to keep you safe, and I failed you.” Rook wanted to say something, to reassure her, but she pushed on. “She sent me letters, told me all the terrible things she was doing to you. I… I let you down.” Those words hit Rook with the force of a dozen cannonballs. Lanny had said that Zara knew Wolf had him, but knowing that Zara had been aware of what Wolf was doing to him… somehow that was more painful than any wound Wolf had ever inflicted. He barely managed to force his next words out around the lump in his throat. “Where were you?” And why didn’t you come? “She said she’d kill you if I came to get you. Or if I hired anyone to get you. You’re standing here because I stopped sailing.” 

(honorary one-time tag for @space-writes bc I remember you enjoyed my other bits about Rook and Zara.)
