look at them in their silly little costumes <33

I need the reaction of the baes (Vincent, Esteban and Atlas) to reader thirsting loudly for strangers online. Like full on down bad simping.

I love these kinds of ask about multiple of my ocs. This way they are all compiled in one post 😆 so thank you mellsfern! 

Now jealousy timeeeee

CW: Possessive behavior, manipulative behavior and mention/use of a syringe (in Vincent’s part) 

･*:.｡..｡.:*･*:.｡..｡.:*･

Vincent has been monitoring your online activities for a while now. It was his favorite thing to do after a long day of working on new inventions for Fatalité, being able to sit comfortably in front of his computer and check what you were up to.  But lately… you’ve been checking one person’s account a bit too much on Slowgram. You liked their post the second they were up, why couldn’t you be dedicated like that with him instead!? What made his blood boil the most, was the private conversation you were having with your friend about this influencer. Paragraph after Paragraph were filled with praises, words of adoration and lewd comments on what you wanted to do to them. At first he thought it was just a passing infatuation, but he couldn't keep watching you lust over someone else, it made him see red. Dr. Seraph didn’t even have to hack into that influencer's computer to find their address, this idiot had it plastered all over their socials. At this point, they were just asking for it! At the dead of night, he easily entered their house. Hovering over the sleeping form, his face showed a scarily cold expression.  

“I was lacking a test subject for my latest invention.” With precision, he plunged a syringe in the person's neck, “I wonder if they'll still think you're attractive after I’m done with you.” 

︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶

Esteban snatched the phone from your grasp. One minute you were alone in the living room, liking every post of a guy online and the next you were empty handed. Unbeknownst to you, he was actually stalking your account before all this and happened to see your liked posts. 

“What’s your deal?!” You jumped out of the couch, trying to take your property back. 

“What’s my deal? What about yours Mmm?!” He pouted, raising the phone out of your reach, “You have a guy with the literal body of a Greek god at your disposition and you're gawking at this?” 

He shook one picture in your face before retrieving it quickly. “Can you even tell that he is photoshopped? I don't need that cheap trick to look appealing.”

He couldn’t let you thirst over this loser and act like nothing was wrong. You shouldn’t need to feel the urge to simp over anyone else! All you need is him, him! That’s why he didn’t have a choice, Esteban had to have your device altered so you could never see that person's face again on any app. Without saying a word he headed towards the front door. 

“Hey! Give me my phone back!” 

“Don’t worry, I’m buying you a better one with some needed modifications.”

︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶

Atlas stared at the picture that you were showing to him on your phone. He already knew your feelings towards this influencer. Having connected to your social media without your consent, he had seen that you were commenting on this person's post a bit too often for his liking. Still, he acted oblivious when you started ranting about them. 

“Aren’t they just so perfect!? Like they are so fine I caaaaan't!” You groaned and contracted your other hand as if you were a predator closing in on its prey. 

He really couldn’t understand what you liked about them that he didn’t have. He could at least console himself with the fact that this person unobtainable, that they would never be a part of your life, unlike him. But still, he hated knowing that you had eyes for someone else to this extent. 

Atlas leaned down, looking at you through his long and pale lashes. “I can be anything you want me to be, you know. I can change my hair color to match theirs or even my personality if that’s what you want.” Then, the android slowly lowered your phone down by gently taking hold of your wrist, “So no need to think about them any longer.” 

･*:.｡..｡.:*･*:.｡..｡.:*･

I love showing Vincent’s murderous and sadistic side, especially when it’s related to his darling. Also possessive Atlas is just a cutie pattotie.

I need people to understand how S&P (standards and practices) works in television and how much influence they have over what gets to stay IN an episode of a show and how the big time network execs are the ones holding the purse strings and making final decisions on a show's content, not the writers / showrunners / creatives involved.

So many creators have shared S&P notes over the years of the wild and nonsensical things networks wanted them to omit / change / forbid. Most famously on tumblr, I've seen it so many times, is the notes from Gravity Falls. But here's a post compiling a bunch of particularly bad ones from various networks too. Do you see the things they're asking to be changed / cut ?

Now imagine, anything you want to get into your show and actually air has to get through S&P and the network execs. A lot of creators have had to resort to underhanded methods. A lot of creators have had to relegate things to subtext and innuendo and scenes that are "open to interpretation" instead of explicit in meaning. Things have had to be coded and symbolized. And they're relying on their audience to be good readers, good at media literacy, to notice and get it. This stuff isn't the ramblings of conspiracy theorists, it's the true practices creatives have had to use to be able to tell diverse stories for ages. The Hays Code is pretty well known, it exists because of censorship. It was a way to symbolize certain things and get past censors.

Queercoding, in particular, has been used for ages in both visual media and literature do signal to queer audiences that yes, this character is one of us, but no, we can't be explicit about it because TPTB won't allow it. It's a wink-wink, nudge-nudge to those in the know. It's the deliberate use of certain queer imagery / clothing / mannerisms / phrases / references to other queer media / subtle glances and lingering touches. Things that offer plausible deniability and can be explained away or go unnoticed by straight audiences to get past those network censors. But that queer viewers WILL (hopefully) pick up on.

Because, unfortunately, still to this day, a lot of antiquated network execs don't think queer narratives are profitable. They don't think they'll appeal to general audiences, because that's what matters, whatever appeals to most of the audience demographic so they can keep watching and keep making the network more money. The networks don't care about telling good stories! Most of them are old white cishet business men, not creatives. They don't care about character arcs and what will make fans happy. They don't care about storytelling. What they care about is profit and they're basing their ideas of what's profitable on what they believe is the predominate target demographic, usually white cis heterosexual audiences.

So, imagine a show that started airing in the early 2000s. Imagine a show where the two main characters are based on two characters from a famous Beat Generation novel, where one of the characters is queer! based on a real like bisexual man! The creator is aware of this, most definitely. And sure, it's 2005, there's no way they were thinking of making that explicit about Dean in the text because it just wouldn't fly back then to have a main character be queer. But! it's made subtext. And there are nods to that queerness placed in the text. Things that are open to interpretation. Things that are drenched in metaphor (looking at you 1x06 Skin "I know I'm a freak" "maybe this thing was born human but was different...hated. Until he learned to become someone else.") Things that are blink-and-you-miss-it and left to plausible deniability (things like seemingly spending an hour in the men's bathroom, or always reacting a little vulnerable and awkward when you're clocked instead of laughing it off and making a homophobic joke abt it)

And then, years later there's a ship! It's popular and at first the writers aren't really seriously thinking about it but they'll throw the fans a bone here and there. Then, some writers do get on the destiel train and start actively writing scenes for them that are suggestive. And only a fraction of what they write actually makes it into the text. So many lines left on the cutting room floor: i love past you. i forgive you i love you. i lost cas and it damn near broke me. spread cas's ashes alone. of course i wanted you to stay. if cas were here. -- etc. Everything cut was not cut by the writers! Why would a writer write something to then sabotage their own story and cut it? No, these are things that didn't make it past the network. Somewhere a note was made maybe "too gay" or "don't feed the shippers" or simply "no destiel."

So, "no destiel." That's pretty clearly the message we got from the CW for years. "No destiel. Destiel will alienate our general audience. Two of our main characters being queer? And in a relationship? No way." So what can the pro-destiel creatives involved do, if the network is saying no? What can the writers do if most of their explicit destiel (or queer dean) lines / moments are getting cut? Relegate things to subtext. Make jokes that straight people can wave off but queer people can read into. Make costuming and set design choices that the hardcore fans who are already looking will notice while the general audience and the out-of-touch network execs won't blink and eye at (I'm looking at you Jerry and your lamps and disappearing second nightstands and your gay flamingo bar!)

And then, when the audience asks, "is destiel real? is this proof of destiel?" what can the creatives do but deny? Yes, it hurts, to be told "No no I don't know what you're talking about. There's no destiel in supernatural" a la "there is no war in Ba Sing Se" but! if the network said "no destiel!" and you and your creative team have been working to keep putting destiel in the subtext of the narrative in a way that will get past censors, you can't just go "Yes, actually, all that subtext and symbolism you're picking up, yea it's because destiel is actually in the narrative."

But, there's a BIG difference between actively putting queer themes and subtext into the narrative and then saying it's not there (but it is! and the audience sees it!) versus NOT putting any queer content into the text but SAYING it is there to entice queer fans to continue watching. The latter, is textbook queerbaiting. The former? Is not. The former is the tactics so many creatives have had to use for years, decades, centuries, to get past censorship and signal to those in the know that yea, characters like you are here, they exist in this story.

Were the spn writers perfect? No, absolutely not. And I don't think every instance of queer content was a secret signal. Some stuff, depending on the writer, might've been a period-typical gay joke. These writers are flawed. But it's no secret that there were pro-destiel writers in the writing room throughout the years, and that efforts were made to make it explicitly canon (the market research!)

So no, the writers weren't ever perfect or a homogeneous entity. But they definitely were fighting an uphill battle constantly for 15 yrs against S&P and network execs with antiquated ideas of what's profitable / appealing.

Spn even called out the networks before, on the show, using a silly example of complaints abt the lighting of the show and how dark the early seasons were. Brightening the later seasons wasn't a creative choice, but a network choice. And if the networks can complain abt and change something as trivial as the lighting of a show, they definitely are having a hand in influencing the content of the show, especially queer content.

Even in s15, (seasons fifteen!!!) Misha has said he worried Castiel's confession would not air. In 2020!!! And Jensen recorded that scene on his personal phone! Why? Sure, for the memories. But also, I do not doubt for a second that part of it was for insurance, should the scene mysteriously disappear completely. We've seen the finale script. We've seen the omitted omitted omitted scenes. We all saw how they hacked the confession scene to bits. The weird cuts and close-ups. That's not the writers doing. That's likely not even the editors (willingly). That's orders from on high. All of the fuckery we saw in s15 reeks of network interference. Writers are not trying to sabotage their own stories, believe me.

Anyways, TLDR: Networks have a lot more power than many think and they get final say in what makes it to air. And for years creative teams have had to find ways to get past network censorship if they want "banned" or "unapproved" "unprofitable" "unwanted" content to make it into the show. That means relying on techniques like symbolism, subtext, and queercoding, and then shutting up about it. Denying its there, saying it's all "open to interpretation" all while they continue to put that open to interpretation content into the show. And that's not queerbaiting, as frustrating as it might be for queer audiences to be told that what they're seeing isn't there, it's still not queerbaiting. Queerbaiting is a marketing technique to draw in queer fans by baiting them with the promise of queer content and then having no queer content in said media. But if you are picking up on queer themes / subtext / symbolism / coding that is in front of your face IN the text, that's not queerbaiting. It's there, covertly, for you, because someone higher up didn't want it to be there explicitly or at all.

Random thought here but do you think they’re going to do anything with Lucretia in part 3? I know the creators mentioned there being a lot of loose ends they couldn’t tie up in OG because of technical and time limitations and to me Lucretia’s felt like one of the biggest ones. I mean supposedly she was frozen in ice not too far from where Sephiroth’s physical body was and he should know who she is- since he took in the knowledge from the Lifestream- but he never sought her out? I know he’s not supposed to have human attachments or whatever but come on… it seems like his raging mommy issues followed him into the after life as well. Wait as I’m typing this out another question pops to mind: wouldn’t Sephiroth also have figured out that he’s not actually part Cetra? Wouldn’t the knowledge from the Lifestream also include knowledge of his own parentage?

Just to clarify, while Sephiroth has canonically become aware of what he and Jenova really are as well as the fact that he's not a Cetra, there is no evidence to suggest he ever found out the truth about Lucrecia's existence. Some argue that he had to have. But he never ever mentions it. Ever. Even when Vincent speaks of Lucrecia in Opera Omnia, Sephiroth just brushes him off. His locket certainly made him aware of her face, but I think it was deliberate since recent entries have designed Jenova to look similar to Lucrecia. Sephiroth has never found out about Lucrecia, nor has he said or done anything to suggest he is aware of his birth mother's presence.

They could retcon this, of course. After all, Rebirth!Sephiroth shows up in all sorts of places he wasn't originally before. It's possible he follows the group to the crystal cave as well. Personally, I'd rather that they never meet, or that Sephiroth never finds out. It's infinitely more tragic that way. And him rejecting Lucrecia for Jenova, while completely in character, sort of leaves a bad taste in my mouth, though I'm not entirely sure why. It would feel anticlimactic I guess. I think it's just sad to have them separate from each other. Or at least not have them reunite until Sephiroth reaches his final endgame death. Idk that's just personal preferences.

As for Lucrecia, idk if there's much she can actually do in the plot beyond the purpose she served before in the OG. It's not like she can really escape her prison. The trilogy will supposedly link up to Advent Children, which leads me to believe it will do the same for Dirge, in which Lucrecia is still in her crystal. I really think it's going to be the same as before, with some added lore possibly thrown in, especially in the incredibly lucky chance they retcon Sephiroth's paternity.

This is all spitballing. It could go many ways. This is just where I currently stand. The separation of Sephiroth and Lucrecia is one of the more underrated tragedies of the Compilation. One could loosely argue that it was the literal centerpiece that staged the entire plot of the story. I want to see it done justice if they actually cover it, or at least not make it too predictably lame with Sephiroth being your typical scornful villain. It would be a huge moment. And I think that deserves something better than Sephiroth evilly monologuing like usual while rejecting his mom.

Lucrecia is flawed AF and is 100% responsible for what she did to her son. But it's like kicking a sick dog. I get no pleasure watching her continuing to suffer without a proper conclusion. I want to believe they'll do more with her, or at least make what was already there more tragic than before.

Choices MCs (Filipino Edition lol)

《Next》

Finally drew four of my Choices MCs inspired by @cassiopeiacorvus and her wonderfully done OC compilations (how do you have the patience to draw all of em omg)

I'm thinking of doing the same for my Romance Club MCs too (background would be the purple of the homescreen there)

Interested in commissioning me? Click the source! 💗

Evangeline Marie G. (Guzman) Lakandula - Ah yes, my soft, anxious babie with self-worth issues. She comes from a messy background with a horrible father. She was close to her late (paternal) grandparents and had a very complicated relationship with her late mother. One of her relatives shes v close to is her older cousin, Ethan.

She's a college dropout thanks to her father's bad choices and worked the moment she had a chance to.

After her mother passed, that was it for Evangeline. She kinda needed to go away from her dad and his loud voice and other issues. So she left home and Ethan helped her out before he left for a business trip abroad.

He had her go to a house he owned in Laguna where she could live in provided she just do the cleaning in there. She found simple work that she was qualified for and that was her life for the next few years until a certain bachelor party came into her life.

Diwa Kalangitan M. (Masangga) del Rosario - My chaotic good and very protective MC who definitely rabbleroused in the school she works in.

She was raised in a household that follows some precolonial beliefs and traditions. She has a stepfather who's an albularyo and two half-siblings. One is studying in college, the other is still in high school. She has a close relationship to both her parents.

And she is rather happy with her job as a teacher in a private school. Sure she sometimes goes against curriculum to make sure the kids enjoy her lessons. She's a class advisor also so when she found out their math teacher humiliated one of her students, she confronted said teacher.

Her trip to America is really just a birthday trip until the events of the book started. In the end she ends up in a poly relationship with Nik and Cal. (She does end up pointing out to the boys that she'll have to go back to her work and family at least just to properly resign and find work near them and also to assure her family she's safe.)

Maya Chelidonia C. (Caacbay) dela Rosa - The local tired detective who had to move abroad for their own safety. Love them SM.

Maya is the child of Jaime dela Rosa, a cop in the Philippines who does not follow in corrupt practices and tries to do right by the community. He was killed after coincidentally seeing signs of corruption in the force and wanting to expose it.

After their father's death, Maya also followed in his footsteps. On their end, they wanted to try and do some good in their job but ended up experiencing some discrimination in the work force. Enter them finding the same evidence of corruption that their father found as well. This time they managed to expose the corruption but in the end, one of their few friends in the force warned them that they'll have to flee the country due to some v angry officials.

So they fled with their mother and younger sister.

Their sister became a fashion designer. Maya found work as a private detective and the two teamed up to be able to live a decent life. Their sister travels with their mom on fashion shows. They're fine living nearby their maternal uncle with their dog, Spudge. (He's a scaredy cat and a lil crybaby who doesn't like strangers and by that I mean he starts crying when the strangers notice him. It's not out of trauma, he just likes Maya and their fam more than anyone else and is v shy with others. He's also scared of the dark and loud noises.)

Inocencia Honorata G. (Galang) Valenciano - and finally, my love's embarrassing bby. My Rafael Aveiro romancer. Love her sm.

She and her mom, older brother and little sister ran away from their father when they were a kid. Her parents annulled their marriage after a few years.

Her older brother became the youngest lawyer in the country and had a firm in New York seek him out. This led to him helping Inocencia and her sister (who had skipped grades and managed to enter college the same year as Inocencia).

Inocencia is v non-competitive that she chose De La Salle University while her sister went to their grandfather’s alma mater, University of the Philippines. At college, Inocencia got dubbed as SiaSia because of the repeated -cia in her first name and surname.

The two got accepted into Edenbrook when they were gonna start. Inocencia being 27 and her sister being 25. By then, Inocencia still isn't competitive and didn't sign up for the competition for the diagnostics team but her little sister shoved her to try it out.

@thebrainrotsreal HEY SORRY FOR TAGGING(? PINGING(? U, ITS ABOUT THE AU. I DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE THE OTHER POST THAT LONG LMAO

FLYING BEING NATURAL TO VILTRUMITES MY BELOVED

ASJDAJSD MARK TRYING TO GET AWAY W SLIGHTLY HOVERING(? IN A WAY THAT IS BARELY NOTICEABLE TO ANYONE BUT HE CAN'T DO IT WHILE HE WALKS BC HE JUST, DEFAULTS TO ACTUAL FLYING

mark and wasp are the same height, and they hate it almost as much as they hate each other. even if wasp is older than mark (read somewhere he could be 20, not sure tho), he'd still look 17 bc of the weird viltrumite aging thing

so basically they'll stay the same size for about 500 years. this is what nolan meant when he said mark would suffer...

ANYWAY. That thing abt them wanting to be taller than the other made me laugh and reminded me of a shadowpeach hc i posted on 2022(? LMAO

gonna use the same hc w them too

so. they're out as invincible (they still haven't decided on a name yet. wasp says he's stronger and therefore should be called invincible, but mark points out that he's the one in charge and also that this dimension is his. mark gets to keep it. they're still arguing about what to name wasp) ("why don't you just go by "vincible"?" "no.")

mark is talking to some gda agent or a cop or smth, when he notices that wasp (who is looking at the sky w the most bored expression he can muster, bc he genuinely doesn't understand why they have to talk to such inferior beings) seems to be just, a few milimeters taller than him (he may be shit at schoolwork, but if you hate someone enough you can notice the smallest details about them)

he, w/o stopping the conversation, answers to this by floating just a little higher, barely noticeable to the human eye

ofc, i said "human" eye

wasp notices. he flies higher

mark flies higher too

eventually he's screaming instead of talking bc of how far down the cop is

wasp laughs. now mark is screaming at him

they fight

ALSO WASP REFUSING TO STOP FLOATING AS A CIVILLAIN IS SO FUNNY AJDSHFASJ, IMAGINE THE AMOUNT OF TROUBLE HE'LL GET MARK INTO

PLS. THEM TRYING TO GNAW THEIR ARMS OFF BC THEY HATE BEING NEAR EACH OTHER SM ASJFHADJFH

most normal ppl r used to mark working alone as invincible. so since wasp really doesn't do interviews and he's usually too fast to see when he fights, no one really knows what his name even is

and everyone is used to invincible being. well. invincible. sure, the news say that when he's around this guy he gets a little meaner, but it can't be that bad!

it is that bad

wasp says smth mean n sarcastic. everyone expects invincible to answer w something equally sarcastic, but not as mean (maybe making fun of how his suit looks). they do not expect invincible to just fucking bite him after 8 of those comments

wasp keeps trying to kill This One Kid, who is either super brave or super stupid and won't stop asking him questions (they go from "what's your name?" to "what underwear do you have? do you even need underwear?" in a matter of seconds) for his weird school diary thingy

he can't get close, bc mark starts pulling the other way. besides, they're stuck together, and killing people would seem awfully annoying if it's with this guy

they can't punch each other, so wasp bites him. they bite each other a lot bc of the "no punching (or kicking)" thing

"Wasp throws a car at Mark which Mark instinctively swats away and then goes flying after it to prevent it from slamming into a building. Wasp cackles so hard it gets hit by a laser beam to the throat by some other bad guy." ASJDSAJDHDSJFAH YES THAT'S SO FUNNY

they mess w each other sm

it's funny bc they do the same things to annoy each other (wasp throwing a car at mark, mark hitting him with a tree, etc) , but lose their shit when the other does it to them

they're basically this:

mark, sleep deprived, flies straight into a lamp post

wasp laughs at him. he actually laughs so hard he runs into the same lamp post

there are a lot of compilations on youtube that is just them laughing at each other mid fight and running into things or being hit w stuff the other throws at them

they grow more wild every time

it goes from throwing cars, to throwing real life dinosaurs (mark doesn't want to talk about it) (wasp absolutely does)

"Cecil remarks Mark handled something well and he looks like Cecil just told him his entire family got slaughtered."

THISSS

"you did well today. hella efficient, quick and straight to the point. who taught you that?"

mark: D:

and also,

"oh, wow. you saved an entire family and their cat from a villain that wanted to turn them into zombies while mark was off fighting the bad guys? that's great!"

and wasp. cries

"oh no, no, you think I'm gonna help you?" THIS TISHTISHTSIHIST

this really feels like smth he'd say in canon. he'd say it w a smile, half-shocked half just pretending out of amusement

he'd laugh too

it's the same type of cocky tone of voice sinister mark/wasp used when teasing angstrom

"I gotta imagine if they tackle things separately, they are also allowing each other to do they want and like to do?" YEAH!!

it's hard 'cause wasp always wants to take the bad guys on alone, but mark also likes to fight (just not w the same brutality) and he doesn't want to be just a lifeguard

it takes wasp a while (a LONG while) to stop tackling mark when he's about to attack to get to the enemy himself, or to kick mark into the next country, etc etc etc

but eventually they settle on mark getting everyone to safety while wasp stalls the bad guy. then, after he's sure no one's here anymore, they both fight the villain together

or uh. they try. sometimes they'll start fighting each other too so it's less of a 1 v 2 fight and more of a... 1v1 V another 1 fight lol

"Mark's own reaction that truly confirms it to be true"

he gets the episode 8 levels of anger and anguish

HE'S JUST SO MAD

wasp is talking shit on tv and he just loses it

he immediatly flies off and tackles wasp into fucking space

i mean, they do say that actions say more than words, right?

mark is usually making the typical superhero noises when he's fighting, but now? he's just focusing all of his anger into This One Motherfucker

wasp loves it

it's a "see? i knew you had it in you!" type of moment

he's been longing for a real fight for a WHILE

they don't kill each other but it comes close

see, the things is. they are the same person. it's easy to start viewing them as two separate beings, but they're really. not

they're evenly matched in everything

this is why wasp likes fighting mark

this is why mark doesn't like fighting wasp (never ending battles are boring to him) ( he likes to win more than to fight. i mean it's not like he enjoys getting beat up)

we could dive deeper and start talking about the self-destructive tendency these two have to getting beat up. i mean, wasp's idea of a real, actually enjoyable fight is when the other is either able to beat him, or when he can kill ppl. and mark spends sm time out as invincible, neglecting his social life and mental health to the point he quits college, and he gets beat up a lot while doing it. so yeah--

self-destructive tendencies

"-having to confront he sees the exact thing in Wasp to a slightly different degree" i will ALWAYS love making them deal with the constant reminders that they're the same person

they deal w stuff in similar ways but to different degrees and realizing that gives them psychic damage like that magic squirrel in mca so they just preted they don't exist

unless it's to like. bring the other to their side

"you like fighting too. violence is in you, it's part of you. you're always covered in blood. all that's left, would be your hands" VS "you're me, and i'm you. we have similar thoughts, and that means i- y'know. but it means you are, too. you have a chance. and get that blood off you-- you need a shower"

COMICS!! AND!! WASP!!

yeah

HIM HAVING TO CONFRONT THE FACT THAT THE DESTROYING OF HIS WORLD HURT HIM TOO

because it is, in a way, his world too

he grew up in it. raised differently, yes, but still on earth

he was always different from the rest, getting his powers at an early age and all, but it's still the place he grew up in

not all the memories from it can be bad, right?

ANDDDDD... wasp reminding ppl of how strong he is regularly

"i could pull out your spine in a second." he says that out of nowhere, in a conversation that would've seemed normal to literally anyone else. he says it like it's nothing much. "i could kill you." you know he could, but you still wonder

would he? with how he is, with his inability to escape --- would he?

also he has fun when he watches the color drain from their faces

"Rudy has psychological profiles on all his friends he regularly updates like a diary, and he has one for himself too." NO BUT THIS IS SO IN CHARACTER FOR HIM

wasp talks shit about mark to anyone avaliable and rudy is no exception. even tho he finds him deeply annoying

honestly wasp is capable of doing p much anything to mess with mark

HE JST WOULD

the self-hatred is strong with this one too master!!! (sw ref again lol)

ASDJASJDSJAD THE BETTING POOL

wasp saying mark breathes annoyingly is such a sibling thing tho. "why are you chewing like that" "stop biting your stupid fork" "the way you cut your food is so weird" "your handwriting sucks, don't hold the pencil like that" etc etc etc

ANDD "he knew what wasp was going to say" DUDE YES??

he's talking and he gets. a feeling. and he turns to wasp, who is opening his mouth, and says "don't you fucking dare"

same w wasp. mark is annoying little shit too sometimes, he's also a teenager. so he infuriates wasp too

mark calls him a hypocrite

THE TWIN TERRORS OF HEROISM I CAN'T

imagine if ppl actually start calling them that tho

one day wasp calls mark to their? his? room and is like, "holy shit look at this" and shows him their? his computer

mark doesn't understand, until he sees the title and image of the video

"the twin terrors of heroism, terrorizing the terrorists once again" and its a picture of them kicking ass

"twin terrors of-- oh, come on, really?" "yes" "they couldnt have at least called us the invincibles or something?" "that'd be even worse" "...alright, i'll give you that" "..." "...." "they think we're like the fucking mauler twins" "oh you have got to be--"

ALSO this is so funny, them being like "mark/wasp" when they show up hurt or smth. everyone just learning to accept it. i mean what are they going to do. fight against two gods??

ha

AND YES YES YES DO TAG ME IN IT!!!! if i make anything about this au (posts, fics, drawings, u name it) i will tag u too

alcohol doesn't really affect viltrumites i think, but there has got to be something that gets them drunk

nolan could've taught wasp how to make it. if the ingredients are on earth, then he would maybe try to prepare it on mark's earth. mark shows up and sees that he's drunk. he goes "nope" and gets drunk too, maybe on accident maybe not. debbie shows up and sees her two superpowered sons sobbing over a bowl of popcorn

alternate version: gasoline gets them drunk

(character belongs to @wanderingchocolateeclair's original story)

AITA for living with someone whom's husband your direct creator (god) killed??

Hi, I'm Row (adult, NB), and I'm living with one of my friends (F1, adult, he/him) who's husband (F2, adult, M) just died- F2 was his soulmate and partner of many years. I didn't kill F2, but the person who created me (it's complicated, but I'm not a soulless, which are brainwashed, maybe re-animated, zombies. My creator is basically, kind of, god? I am kind of a clone of them?? I'm not sure how to explain, sorry.) manipulated/made events so that F2 would die. F2 was killed by a soulless. My creator did this because they wanted some, uh, entertainment and it's a way to 'move the plot along', in their words, which I'm not sure what that means.

But I'm rambling. F2 was killed, I'm living with F1 and we're queerplatonic buddies. I'm not soulmates with him, we're good friends. I feel bad about, well, being with him and kind of helping him through his grief?? I feel like an asshole, knowing that the person who created me made things so he'd be this way. I couldn't really do anything to stop them, but I still feel bad. I could have done something. Should I tell F1?? I don't know if he'll believe me, and I will sound insane, and I don't know if I can. I also don't want him to be mad at me but that's a whole other thing.

But, uh, anyways. TDLR: I'm a sort-of clone of god, god made things so that F2, who is F1's husband and soulmate, got killed. I'm living with F1 and good friends with him, and I'm also helping him through his grief and stuff. AITA for not doing anything and not telling F1??

EDIT, A COMPILATION OF ALL MY REPLIES (sorry to the person who got murdered in the thread): - Clone of god - Errr. Well. Uh. You know creation myths, right? So basically it starts like this. Our world was spun out of a song. God made us and saw that all was good but it could be better. So they improved it? And sent me down? Not too sure. But I'm also kind of a copy of them, and not at the same time, because I'm altered and. You know. Not a god. I get dreams with them sometimes. - Further information - Alright. So. I don't think I could have done anything, but sometimes god listens to me if I make my ideas cool enough, and amusing enough... only sometimes, though. And I didn't know it would be happening like that. I didn't think they'd kill anyone 'important' off- they seemed to like F2 a lot, kept asking me for updates on them and a few other people, and I was very surprised to see. Uh, hear, about everything. Sorry again if I'm not being clear. It's a little hard to talk about. But I'm not sure if I should tell F1 about all this. He doesn't know anything about this (nobody I know knows about this) and I've kept it a secret all my life. I don't know if god would let me talk about my 'creation', and I'm a little scared of what they'll do if I do. But I really feel like I should tell F1 about everything. - Sent down by god - They just kind of made me and plopped me in. No memories of theirs, but personality is similar. Not sure about appearance (they're god) so possibly not. I think it was... I don't know, to observe? Stimulation? To see what would happen?

[thyandrawrites]

For ship bingo, could you please do bachisagi, ryusae, and rin x hiori?

Sure 👀

Bachisagi:

They are SO married it's literally unreal. They're even more obvious than nagireo and nagireo have a whole spinoff manga to be unapologetically gay and in love in. I'm so amused at how the author keeps waxing poetics about how they are made to be each other's perfect "partner" with increasingly not platonic framing. It's great. Bachisagi shippers are the only ones who keep eating here and I love that for us.

On a more serious note, I am really fond of this ship! I've mentioned before that I see parallels between them and the rin&sae and nagireo dynamics, and at some point I will get off my ass and compile a post on it because there is really so much to say. But even beyond meta, I like them as a ship because there's so much good old tension between them. At the very beginning I wanted to ship it but it bothered me how Bachira was constantly checking for Isagi's approval before doing anything, and then the author came in a clutch with that backstory and was like "did you know bachira has been soul-crushingly lonely all his life until Isagi came around and was put on a bit of a pedestal as a result?" and then BAM they get split up and it's angsty and horrible and it makes them confront their codependency but, wait for it !! they grow from it!! We love to see that. Look, I love good ol' pining and even codependency when done in a certain way, but I can't deny that bachisagi using their time apart to better themselves and be stronger for when they'll compete with / fight alongside each other is a great narrative choice. If you allow me to draw a parallel with nagireo, it's what Nagi thought he was doing when he joined Isagi in the 3v3, except Nagi's communication skills are godawful and his intentions backfired. But Bachira and Isagi get it right, and are so much stronger for it. We love to see that. I love pairings that draw strength from each other while still remaining self-sufficient individuals so it's no surprise I ship this. It's not super high on my ship list because at times it's too healthy and pink confetti and fluff for my personal taste, but I love them a lot anyway. It's crazy to me that they just met a few months ago and still clicked this hard (another parallel to ngreo lmao), but that's just more fodder for the "soulmates" angle.

Ryusae:

I say this ship is the worst in the most affectionate way possible :'D I still can't believe some of their lines are canon dhshjsjsjd I'll be real, I can't take these two seriously at all, but that's mostly my reaction to Shidou in general. They're both deranged in very similar ways, so it's no wonder they clicked. Shidou is one of those characters I would love to read about, but I'm terrified of touching fanon and possibly see what I consider his most interesting faucets of characterization sandpapered away for the sake of making romance plots work. He... Is not a fave of mine but he's interesting to be sure, and so is Sae. They're both extremely bad at expressing their emotions in a way that doesn't put others off and come across as selfish, and I think developing their bond romantically could be an interesting challenge. But since Shidou is... Well, Shidou, I think a lot of their ff will be full of nsfw and dirty flirting, which is not my thing. So that too has put me off from really getting into the ship.

That said, one of my favourite authors has written for them, so I can see myself being converted to this pairing in the future. They managed to make me a Rin enjoyer when Rin just made me roll my eyes so I absolutely trust their magic skills lmao

Hiorin:

I didn't know this ship was a thing until literally yesterday, when I found this post about them. I don't ship them quite yet, but this is another case where I can see myself caving in if the right author sells it well to me.

I too noticed the scene the post mentions, where Rin accepts Hiori's help and doesn't lash out at his concern like usual, and I found it cute. Rin's walls are sky high so it surprised me too. Plus Hiori could definitely use a friend to vent to who wouldn't judge, and I don't think any of the other boys would quite get his family situation, not how Rin might. So basically the premises for a cool dynamic are already there, and I've shipped characters who never met before based on my guess of their potential chemistry before, so. I can totally get behind this. Rn I see them as friends, but I haven't gone out to hunt for fics about them yet

[jaythelay]

I thought my whole neighborhood and even city was pro-dump as hell, and sure there's alot of Very Loud R's out there, there's a gunstore with "God Guns Dump" that looks so tacky and in everyway antithetical (might as well say Water, Fire, Slime) and a buncha signs, the occassional mega maga supporter trailer home.

But since the Kamala v Dump debate? Slowly, I'm seeing more and more signs for Kamala. I've not seen anyone flip, but I have noticed compared to Kamala signs, the Dump ones are almost always edited to remove Pence, not even adding Vance, 'cept one dude who censored Pen and drew over it with Van, funny guy.

My point is, Dems were deafeningly silent in my neighborhood, it's just a house, hell I don't even have a sign, but seeing dems pop up with theirs makes me want one. And I feel like that's what happened. Someone put one out, another put theirs out, and it snowballed.

Point being that I have never seen a sign for a dem before. Not once. Never since moving here, never since moving from the south, and yet this state is securely Blue, definitively, Blue. Only now (however long the debate was) am I seeing signs.

Dump supporters are loud. Their signs are meant to intimidate, meant to inspire a fear of one's future and for one's health. It's meant as a warning to others not to "tread on them" and that goes as far as simply existing anywhere. Literal Nazi signs plastered half by dumb mother fuckers and half by knowing mother fuckers. It's purpose is clear, intimidation, normalization.

Don't let them intimidate you. They're loud because they don't know enough to lack confidence. The reason dems seem less loud in these moments is due to having more knowledge and thus more hesitations and inhibitions. An R doesn't believe they'll ever be targeted for their sign, no matter how much they larp about sleeping with a gun under their pillow, none believe a sign will cause anything towards them, other than the Larp that enables them further. Some, however, are willing to cause harm, and their sign is the warning.

So when they put out a Dump sign, recognize they've not got the same fears, inhibitions, or reasonings as someone blue putting out a sign, which has an actual chance of vitriol occuring. When you see R signs, what you're seeing is confidence in their position, and seeing a woman of color going ahead of Dump has them extra spooked. The normalization of their beliefs slipping more and more.

I'm not saying to put a sign out for anyone mind you, but I am saying if your neighborhood has a few signs, you might cause a ball to continue rollling, joining in. Maybe not you personally, but others.

To put it simply, in a way that I really enjoy, during Covid we had some 3 nearby neighbors with flags on their mailboxes. One of then had some kinda hateflag, if not a dump related one, it was pretty apparent racist stuff, with 2 neighbors across from them having a "hate has no place here" flag on theirs.

These conversations people have with these methods is rather interesting, but to me, dems have always come off as the silent majority, scared to speak too loudly lest they be judged for not knowing enough on the spot or assaulted for their beliefs. An R has devoted confidence in everything they've been told and could remember, and it's usually turned to baby food for ease of digestion. Dems actually, like, have to research history and compile evidence to believe something.

What it comes down to is this:

You'll see more Dump flags because in politics, it's basically a threat. It's meant to challenge those around them negatively. It's purpose is to feel all encompassing, overwhelming. It feels this way because this communication isn't one leftists have much interest in. It's rather extroverted in theory, to put out your beliefs loudly and annoyingly, to push out harmful beliefs. Dems just by and large don't do that the way R's do. They don't want to give a bad image to their beliefs and "being a dick" with yardsigns is the default mentality because of R's.

All that said to reach this: There's likely a ton of Kamala voters genuinely too scared to put a target on their back, or to make their beliefs something they wear on their shoulders, and it feels more true seeing a growing number of signs spread linearly throughout my neighborhood. This form of communication, yard signs, is rather new to our generation, something rather loud, obnoxious, even egotistic feeling. But R's use it to burden those around them into thinking, being political at all, means to be like they are with Dump. In actuality, no. But once ya see someone else simply putting a sign up? You're far more open towards it because you no longer see the worst impression, there's not hundreds of flags on a dirty broken down property, there's just a Kamala Walz sign by the mailbox. Simple as.

Because of that, I sincerely believe we'll soon see more Dem signs come future elections. This is a conversation people avoided having because it only felt like wrestling a pig in the mud, and ya don't wanna get caught doing that! But seeing a subdued nature to it all, that's normalcy, and something dems can latch onto. A simple sign can say so much about a neighborhood. Bring such peace or uncomforting fear, and thus far, R's have had a lot larger experience with such communications to silence others.

Again, if ya don't feel safe, don't put up a sign, but if you do? I really reccomend it. You might be surprised to see more dem signs pop up over time. Of course you'll see R signs far more often, this is a conversation game they owned before us, but it's rather easy to take hold of it again.

We need to start having more yard sign conversations. Because even now, Dump is everpresent and thus normalizes his actions. Kids seeing Dump signs will HAVE to consider that maybe what he's doing has no longer term impacts after all, I mean, there's a lot of signs for him after all.

Putting up a normal ass Kamala sign would put into perspective the insanity of Dump Trailer Homes and what he's saying becomes less normalized. A neighborhood only feels majority R due to Dems not being loud.

For now. There's a potential storm coming. Disconnect, feel, be, and exist, there's no job for anyone to do, just patience, and fear during which is an exhaustive, if these are the last of our good days, live them fully.

With the election being so close I wanted to make this post. I’m really fucking scared right now. I live in a very red area where there is a trump vance sign every few feet and zero Kamala signs. As a very closeted trans masc person (thankfully I am very femme presenting so that’s not a worry), I’m too scared to get any gender affirming things (mostly a binder right now).

Im also even more scared that I will just be shot randomly since even though I’m not trans presenting I’m very obviously queer.

So as a result even though I’m hoping it doesn’t happen, if trump wins, I will be deleting this and all other social media accounts I have (including my ao3 account), since they all include political views/support towards marginalized groups. Please stay safe if you are in the us and if you are 18+ and care about people’s future and happiness please please please go and vote for Kamala Harris.

[A joke of a] normal update, spring XXIV

Tl;dr - no progress, regress only and not even the system kind.

A bit early this time but these two weeks or so won't really make much of a difference so yeah.

Checking stuff I wrote about before... I failed the 100 days of art challenge. But I did draw the Father daki, even if at the last moment. Still no comms open but it's barely july so. Maye. We'll see.

Current game stuff

Eeeh... Idk where to start so... Impostor Syndrome hasn't really seen much progress. I wasn't joking in that tl;dr. Reason being about the same as usual + the fact I was actually busy and properly afk irl. Shocking.

I mean, pretty sure I did basically no dev for around three months already if you don't count that one day I did some programming on Enmity but it's going extremely slowly cause it's basically all committing to a very bad decision. If someone ever tells you that having a window of space that's not even rectangular in your textbox is a good idea, don't believe them and kick them away while you're at it. I knew it was a mistake from the very beginning and I'm sticking to it. At least adding transitions, drawing all the missing art etc later would be pretty fast compared. I do have lotsa materials to compile and documents to make irl but I think I'll be done by the end of july or so so the game would most likely be finished before Spooktober. I think. Maybe.

Soon after the winter update, I was told two of the games I was working on were suspended indefinitely/cancelled and thanks to the whole team for your hard work. I talked about one of them here [with Doibats] and the other one I'm pretty sure I never mentioned. I wanted to join another team, then, but life was like 'NO >:C' so I had to leave soon after orz Good thing I wasn't anyone important.

I think for now I'll just focus on finishing my other games or correcting stuff from the "24 >:C" list since a lot of that is minor enough I could do it in a day or two and just couldn't've bothered before. If I work on anything, you'd probably just see it suddenly appear on my ich profile with more info during the next update.

.

.

.

Oh, right. If anyone was curious about that otome I did basically no work on and wasn't even a part of the team but hey, promo is promo, right, it's Chromatic Agape. They made some cool design decisions so wait a bit till the end of otojam [based on what I saw about their progress, it seems highly likely they'll finish on time] and bask in its full glory. By playing. Or check out the demo now.

Pariiish noootiiiceees

So, Insect [adjacent] jam is still happening this year, just later. I don't know when, I'll make a separate post. Tentacle jam, though? Probably not. I mean, arthropods can have tentacles [I think??? Idk], too, so you can add them anyway but yeah. I want to be able to join my own jam. And there's also the fact I totally failed with making mushroom game and it's just waiting there and staring at me menacingly cause it's hidden from the public eye... So wait for the jam annoucement post. This year.

All that html hates me, I tell you.

Over.

[the-firebird69]

We're making progress in many areas one of them that we are making a lot of progress in is the automobile industry they're all realizing they need mobility in our ordering cars for real like madness and they can't figure out why they're not being delivered we are reopening factories they're on the perimeter but they're opening and some of them are Trump and son and he can't believe he's opening is a huge pain because of that he has probably 10% of the entire automobile assembly factories but only 0.3% are reopened and about 70% of the other factories are and he is a holdout to say and it's not true there's some others was about the same and they didn't open anything but today out of the 10% is opening 5% and he has grabbed a lot of his own chassis and body is actually all of them and he is not taking the stupid crap out so mystery assault and we're getting orders from the two to take over their factories that they open almost a daily open them and start infiltrating and getting rid of them and we are going to develop a strategies I don't want to put up with this guy anymore and he's going to use up chassis for useless purposes and he has a bunch of them stored out there he's not getting any from the interior if he does we can go after them very hard it's only got about 2 m chassis total and yes to billboard and their pain

-others are doing the same thing it's not just this moron bja has about 10% and hasn't opened any of them hasn't touched the equivalent or the chassis and he's a fool that has a complete idiot I noticed what a son and daughter was saying I don't think that any of them have much of a brain and they don't and you can see it in garth. used to use your brains and now you don't. It is two others we're talking about 30% of the industry and there's more than compiled about 40% of it and we need to start it up and they're all doing less than Trump and he wants to do it to try and grab people and you're probably all start doing it cuz you're encourageable and you have to make do is what you got the fight over the rest and die and yeah in the states is mostly just you idiots but you wanted for clothes and Max yeah we get that it's actually true. And we don't want to do that crap so we are going to monitor I'm told that there are startup Cruise heading towards all the factories because of trump and the reason why and they did catch him saying it earlier they're checking is in their computer

-there's a few more things going on and yeah Megan Merkel was he definitely in Franklin

-there's a huge variety of kit cars that are very successful and the other to see people making money and they're doing it now they'll probably start up 50% of the factories today or more that are not running at all and they'll set up the lines

-others are building new cars some of their own design like Brad He's got one that's going up and Jesus it is not that great of a car kind of better than a Fiat and if he had has better metal but it's rated the same because this is bigger survivability is not that bad it really isn't diffused a little bit different metal and put some reinforcing in to the panels and it's not that hard you just put a bead on the inside it is for crash rating you might try that it says it doesn't cost much if anything it says if something you would sell more and it wouldn't look like a disaster and an accident so he's taking that to heart and he's putting some reinforcing in and there's a lot of people who end up doing that and it works well that is selling huge numbers of cars on Australia there's so many cars to be selling it's ridiculous and of course he can't keep up with production requirement or demand he's got about 30 trillion made and sold and he's got about a 200 trillion orders Anderson says go out and buying up factories and you have to employ VGA and stuff he says that's true. Is going ahead and do it and there are offers they all want to make the car and some of them can engineer he likes it too so they do it and he's going to amp up the production and it's going to be huge there's a certain type of Australian desert a mammal that would be perfect you might name it that said the symbol looks like it and it will go global even though you think could be local.

-and there are other people who are doing that Megan merkle it's called The miracle girl she's probably going to have a movie and she has sales now upwards of $300 trillion and growing and the price is reasonable the car is dirty and made twice as well as Brad as bigger and she has different varieties and it's catching on she's already made a couple hundred trillion now she made it about 30 trillion and really has to be for production and she's falling far behind these guys are different than hers so we can't really piggy back for real and she is falling behind in production intention to do it so she's wondering what to do she sees Brad acquiring factories it can deals and it's starting to do it they both have about the same back log

-there's a huge number of people here who harass our son and we need them out I'm ordering it now

-the cars are doing well the Corvette is number one for a kit car on earth and the second car that's doing well and still a kit is the Chrysler it's going to be number one shortly and we do offer a kit for mid engine conversion it's twice as much as the other kit of people want it comes with you drive all assembled and all you do is attach the motor you have to put motor mounts in though that's it too they'll use a chain fall or lift and then we'll put the motor to the drive and then make the engine mounts it's not a bad way to do it and it'll probably work nicely and it is bolted on heftily to the drive. Moving on

-and by the way the number of sales of the Corvette is about a trillion a week and the other one is catching up in the Pantera and that's what we're calling it and we have the original emblem that's making about 300 million a week right now and that one's going to go through the roof people are crazy a lot of people do the research and they're selling them for so much money it's not even right. They're trying to figure out which version is ours and we haven't made that movie we're waiting for it to pick up right now 300 million is not that many and they're starting to pump them out we hear they're 10 manufacturers most of all these jealous Nellies jealous of our son and they're insane they each might pump out 300 million so be about 3 billion and we'll pump out 3 billion he says just keep making them until we can release them and I thought that's a good idea it's not really but he says we're going to man up and we're going to keep Manning up and we use the car too and I get that that's not bad actually I want an army's down there and it's different time and it's going to be in South America and that's where three of the plants are and ones in LA this is you can't really put it right there but a speed shop and sell them there and we get that someone wanted one someone said I'm going to make a speed shop it's Frank Castle hardcastle and Duke nukem Blockbuster keeps saying it. So you guys can set them up and sell this car through it and just so you modify the car so there's a fun idea they're going to do it

-and there's more too we are watching people laugh but they don't think it's too funny but we have a lot of kit cars but we also have the mini and the mini is selling like madness and he's trying to think of other small cars to build that we could get out to market to get people transportation are there different minis all over the world and any kind of a Cobra jet that's a kit. It's extremely fast and we have hard tops and everything like you used to there's a ton of people who are going to build these kids but right now we're going to put them out and there's a certain name and we can do it it's legal. But he's trying to find a car that everybody would like to make and vital and got a swipe information one and it's kind of retro and it looks like Brad's car a little bit it's nice but it's not really suited for the USA or other countries for that matter and he's going to do that for their own country that's a good idea it will work for what we wanted to and that's the idea and the other idea is we found a few cars people like and deserve to have additional to the mini that are actually kind of useful and one of them is like the strange minivan no it's a minivan in general and they use them for everything but they're not attractive and people don't buy them much anymore so he looked at Vans and they're not very attractive they're useful but they're pretty big they're like a truck and he looks at cars like escort and such and they just moved you around and you can do that in a sporty car these days it's going to be possible shortly I'm trying to think of what it would be he's thinking of a certain SUV maybe like a bronco with the way it used to be and those are handy and it is a vehicle Hera wants to bring back and it's a truck and those are needed everywhere and start to make them know no but we're going to check it out we have prototypes there's a few others and he says one is a Jeep and those are handy but the Humvee is very handy and people want those so he's going to think about it we had to as well we thought we'd go ahead and do it but there's a bunch of them so he's going to look at it and that's what I was thinking of the other than that we are at 100% restart for a covid-19 factories and 60% for new and increasing now rapidly is going very fast and the economy will come back so Bull market full speed ahead

Thor Freya

That's what the video hats off to the bull is about that there's no more Holocaust and they don't understand life much but they loses and the bulb is beating them up which is the Minotaur which is the devil himself

youtuber au john murphy headcanons!

okay so like. idk if i ever talked about this here but like yeah. i love youtube and its actually something i still think about doing so this is fun ASDFJ

he tries to be all spooky and mysterious.

for a little while he never showed his face like hed have something on to hide it

but for a subscriber milestone he did a face reveal and everyone was so happy with it that he just kept it off

SCARY STORIES.

either true stories, fictional stories, creepypasta, anything.

he collabs with people to sometimes have them make art for the stories for him

he also writes his own stories

he ALSO reacts to scary videos and games because he always gets scared and its entertaining

he always has his room set up really nicely and sometimes he'll change something small to see if anyone notices

he will have different colored lights in the background

he tries really hard on his channel to the point sometimes he has to like take week long breaks out of nowhere because hes so burnt out and someone in his life steps in

he gets hurt a lot and its a running joke

"i tripped on a dog toy-"

"i fell off a slide-"

"i just. got out of bed."

its. bad.

but also very funny.

people make compilations of all of his really big scares from reacting to stuff

hes fallen out of his chair a total of 67 times and that may not seem like too big of a number but it is, believe me.

me doesnt like to air out his personal life on his channel but occasionally he does. whenever he goes through something that will make his attitude change, or make him sadder, or even change the amount of videos uploaded, he'll talk about it in a video.

i feel like hes gone through a scandal or two but its like mild stuff that he shouldnt have had to like when he made a gay joke... when he's lgbt.

during pride month his lights are always rainbow

also he will take the month to try to uplift other lgbt+ voices. he collabs with other lgbt people and will try to take time out of his videos to be informational about different lgbt+ identities.

the first pride month he did this he lost a LOT of subscribers because they were lgbt+phobic and thought he should just "stick to horror" and "not ruin his content"

he made a whole video reacting to lgbt+phobic comments and its one of his most popular videos

when he gets a partner they'll always make appearances in his videos (usually they'll just come in because they heard him scream and wanted to check on him), they'll be mentioned A LOT and sometimes, depending who it is, they'll edit his videos.

he loves and cares about all of his subscribers so much and will go out of his way to try to respond to comments, emails, etc.

he sets up events to meet his subscribers where he'll be like "the only rule is *be spooky*" or something and they'll just go along with it.

overall hes a really fun youtuber that gives people good entertainment and gosh i wish i had him as an actual youtuber im so- ASDFKLJs

@carryhatchet im tagging you because you were interested lol

How do you think Doc and Marty/the Keatons would react to seeing their series (like if they discovered our universe, which is an alternate universe to them)?

Ahaha, this is funny to think about.

Doc and Marty first. The concept of them getting a look into some bizarre alternate universe where their actual lived experiences are consumed for entertainment in movie format is very funny. I'll hide my thoughts under a cut, since they'll be long.

I think that Marty would react by having an immediate existential crisis. He'd catch one glimpse of himself on that screen and nope right out of the situation. He already lived through all of that once and has no interest in seeing it again from an outside perspective (let alone with the added knowledge of alternate universes), thank you very much. Perhaps he would stumble away in fright, fall down a hill or a flight of stairs, and be knocked unconscious. Then, Doc could tell him it was all just a terrible nightmare, and Marty would put the whole disturbing notion out of his head. Problem solved.

Doc, however, would be glued to the screen in both fascination and fear. Mostly fascination, though. I think he'd be trying to figure out a lot of different things while watching. There are alternate universes?? Is he literally watching himself and Marty on screen--their whole adventure somehow having been filmed and turned into a trilogy? Or are these their doppelgangers, and a series of movies was somehow coincidentally made that exactly mirrored their own lives?? Lots to think about! He would also have increasingly dramatic reactions to the things he sees, particularly in the scenes where he isn't involved and it's just Marty. Like, Doc would just be sitting there, watching Marty make bad decision after bad decision and be like !!!! That's what he was doing??!!

As far as the Keatons go, it'd be MUCH more of a jarring situation for them considering they live in a "normal" universe, rather than the BTTF one where the existence of an alternate universe isn't that weird of a thing. But assuming that they're all somehow okay with accepting the fact, let's see...

Elyse and Steven would enjoy it from a parenting perspective. They'd be searching through the episodes to watch through their best pep-talks and lectures. Maybe taking notes and giving each other feedback. "That was a wonderful speech you gave there, Elyse. Some of your best work." Steven would also love seeing a compilation of his best dad-jokes, and he would laugh hysterically at them.

Mallory would enjoy being able to look back on every outfit her family members have worn and would have a lot to say on the matter. "Oh, I looked so good that day. And look at you, Jen. I told you that color really works for you. We'll go to the mall tomorrow and pick out some more tops like that. Really, Alex? How many "episodes" have you worn that same sweater vest now? *sigh* At least you're always properly color coordinated."

Not sure about Jennifer. She'd probably be really interested in looking back at the first two seasons and being able to see all the shenanigans her older siblings got into while she was still too young and always out of the loop. She would especially enjoy forcing Mallory and Alex to sit down and watch the episode where Alex loses her during that card game. You know, just to refresh his guilt a little.

Alex would love being able to watch his life as a show. He would specifically want to fast-forward through all the boring stuff with his other family members and only watch the scenes he's in. He would get a complete kick out of all his verbal zingers at Mallory, and he'd fight against Mallory's insistence at watching all the heart-warming moments between them. "Come on, Alex. You know you're a big softy." "Mallory, give me the remote or I'm going to punt you through the window." Alex would also find the show useful in enlisting his family to help him analyze and break down the countless various disasters he's gotten himself into over the years and getting advice on what went wrong. It would just be hours of:

"Oh, hey, here's that time I said something and then everyone was angry at me. Why was everybody angry at me?" "Wait, here's that other time I did absolutely nothing wrong, but everybody was angry at me again. Why is everybody else a jerk to me?" "No, hang on, one more! Watch this scene of a conversation I had at work. I did really good here! Why did it still result in everybody being angry at me??"

Thanks for the ask!

[beaniebaneenie]

Why are you telling people not to boycott as opposed to telling them "Yes, you should boycott but also do these things that help"? I've seen absolutely nothing from the workers that indicate they want you to give the company money.

I'm getting a slight whiff of troll here, but I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you're asking because you genuinely want to know.

This is gonna be a long one, so strap in.

_________________

I said the things I said mainly because the strikers have very specifically NOT asked for a boycott. They clearly outline the things they actually want people to do, and a boycott is nowhere on that list.

And as I stated in the post that I'm positive caused this ask,

1. If enough people claim that strikers want a boycott, the Company can use that at the table in a few ways. They can refuse to negotiate, claiming the strikers are in "bad faith" (something that you never want to happen during negotiations). They can claim that the strikers DO want a boycott, and in a lot of states, strikes are only legally protected in incredibly narrow circumstances... often, if strikers push for a boycott, OR if consumers do it on their behalf and claim the strikers really want it, legally the Company can claim that the strikers are causing "intentional sabotage" and fire them. Remember, the point of a strike is that you want to still have your job at the end of it... you just want conditions to be better.

2. One of the main reasons that strikes work at all is basic supply and demand.

-Company sees demand for a thing. They produce a large supply of the thing.

-Workers who actually produce the thing are not treated well by the Company. They go on strike and stop making the thing. Supply is now very low.

-CONSUMERS (that's you!) still have a high demand for the thing.

-Workers are on strike and not producing the thing. Demand is very high, Supply is very low.

..........and now the Company has a REASON to even bother sitting down at the table: restoring their profits by getting the Workers to end the strike.

-The Workers say they'll come back when conditions are better. Company feels increasing pressure from the High Demand/Low Supply bottleneck, and actually agrees to terms.

This is a fundamental basis for how a TON of strikes work, especially for companies that have a tangible and consumable product, like Kellogg's.

Contrary to popular belief, most strikes do not include a boycott.

____________________________

If you personally don't feel comfy buying Kellogg's stuff while this is going on, or even ever again? You do you, boo.

But you do realize just how much Kellogg's owns, right?

I'm genuinely asking, do you realize exactly how much work you're going to have to put in to ensure that they don't get even a dime?

In case it's difficult to see, Kellogg's also owns a ton of non-cereal brands: Eggo, Nutri-Grain, Pringles, Pop-Tarts... and even more. They also own Dorset Cereals, and Twinings Tea. They also own the UK department store brand, Primark (sort of the UK version of Target).

They own 38 companies/brands in food/beverage products alone. (Not counting separate flavors or variations in every single brand. For example, there are 16 separate types of Cheez-Its... and multiple flavors for each type.)

It is a full time job just to be sure that one thing you wanna buy isn't owned by Kellogg's.

_________________________

By the way, while you're compiling that big list of stuff you don't want to buy... you'd better add all the stuff from Nestle, Mondelez, and General Mills too... because all of these companies and Kellogg's are actually owned by a single parent company.

Also, Nestle has a joint company with Coca-Cola called Beverage Partners Worldwide, so all Coca-Cola brands and products (there are at least 25 brands here too, and each with their own product list) would have to be tracked and included in your big list of "Bad Stuff".

There is no such thing as "ethical consumption" in the late-stage dystopian capitalism that we live under.

About 75% of the brands in that graphic are owned by a single parent company.

Nestle, Wonka, Coca-Cola, General Mills, Associated British Foods, Cadbury, Mondelez, and Kellogg's up there? All owned by a single parent company.

FairLife dairy, Coco Tipo coconut water, Bacardi mixers, Costa Coffee, Dunkin Donuts, Vitaminwater, Minute Maid, and Odwalla smoothies are all also owned by Coca-Cola (which is owned by the parent company that owns Kellogg's) so you'd better put them on your list too.

If you thought you were making an Ethical Choice(TM) by getting a box of Kashi cereal, an RxBar, and a bottle of FairLife milk? You just bought Kellogg's products.

Even a lot of generic brands are also owned by companies like Kellogg's...

For example, Walgreen's in-house generic "Nice(TM)" Brand is owned & produced by Kraft. Which is owned by General Foods. Which is owned by Nabisco. Which is owned by Mondelez. Which is owned by the same parent company that owns Kellogg's.

Destroy any illusion you have of free market, or "consumer choice"... because it hasn't existed in decades.

_____________________________

While you're thinking about that, also think about the actual commitment to a true boycott... time, energy, and financial.

There are millions of people who do not have the available energy or time required to go through their entire list of daily consumable products to ensure that none of them are from a company that Kellogg's owns (or a parent or sister company or subsidiary). Or to go through all these products and find suitable alternatives.

Most of the things that Kellogg's actually produces are food & beverage. People still need to eat. That's not a luxury item, or a need that can just be turned off.

There are millions of people in the US (Kellogg's prime market) who quite literally cannot afford to spend the time going through every item they need, figuring out if it belongs to a company anywhere in the Kellogg's chain, finding a substitute that somehow isn't owned by any of those companies, finding somewhere that sells it, getting there, and buying it instead.

A lot of these same people are also struggling financially and literally cannot afford the higher prices of a non-Kellogg's product, even without the added stress of a pandemic that a large portion of the globe is ignoring, and 50+ million Americans still being out of work, and millions more on significantly decreased salaries, compared to what they were making pre-pandemic.

I'll use myself as the example for this one... pre-pandemic, I made $53,000 annually. I lost my job in March of 2020, and managed to scrape by on a combination of unemployment checks, savings, and a few short temp jobs for over a year, until I landed the temp job I currently have... which is still a $13,000 pay cut from where I was before. $13k is about my yearly cost for rent and utilities... which haven't gone down, despite the significant pay cut.

And I am luckier than most.

Ethical consumption in late-stage dystopian capitalism is impossible for nearly every single consumer.

There are millions of families and individuals that, if they didn't buy Kellogg's products, would starve. That is the fault of the SYSTEM we live under, not the consumer who bought a box of Frosted Flakes.

Maybe that same consumer can write a support letter to a striker. Maybe they can tweet about the strike to let other people know it's happening, and influence public opinion. Maybe they can manage a $5 donation to a strike fund.

All of which, by the way, are specific things that the Kellogg's strikers have actually asked for.

You learn a lot of this stuff if you have Teamsters in your family, and I'm well aware that the American government in particular works very hard to keep their populace from learning any of it.

But it also relates back to a simple principle that applies to nearly all relationships and interactions in life... not just when dealing with a strike.

"If you truly want to help someone, ask them how you can do that. Provide help according to the needs they tell you. If you're only interested in offering the help you want to give, then you're not as interested in helping as you think you are."

__________________________

If you decide that you have the time, energy, and money to commit to not buying any products from any companies in the entire Kellogg's chain, and that's what you need to do to feel like you're a good person?

Go ahead. I'm not stopping you.

It's when you decide that a publicized boycott is what the strikers want (contrary to their official statements and requests), and that anyone who is unable or unwilling to do the same is irredeemably morally bankrupt, that we have a problem.

@emberpone you said you wanted to see and I can't find my other posts on this so I'm gonna compile more info here as well

Officially in our speedy spiders universes Reddit is instead rebbit, like ribbit, it's frog based. All thanks to this go to my friend @anonprotagging who said it while responding to stuff on their name which we'll get into now!

They canonically do not have a name, they never got around to it and never officially said anything concrete, when anyone asks they get too anxious about it and just say something and dip, mostly "hey, spider! For the (insert newspaper) what's your name!" "...uh.. secret identity can't tell you bye!" So people have just given them names, should our Spidey make their own name? Yes but they're horribly indecisive about it because it's been so long and it's gotta be perfect, so they just scroll rebbit in any r/Spidey things to see what names people have given them, there's probably a whole sub rebbit (a tadpole) about names for them and they scroll it every night just to see the new stuff.

They have a gwen! Or someone in that role, daughter of the police chief, though they don't know that, I'm pretty sure I had her go by a single letter acronym, but I can't remember which letter and I can't find the post anymore, even though I had people reply to it, so I gotta go off memory! She's essentially their man in the chair, they communicate via drone that she pilots and they first met by her accidentally finding them with their mask off so they just went "okay you have to be my friend now, that's the rules, you see my face you gotta help please please-" and she said yes, she gives them such good Intel on the cops and where they'll be and crime scenes because her dad is the chief of police, instead of helping him she uses that position to easily get access to that information, she also helps our Speedy spider with mechanical inventions, if they have the item web grippers she absolutely helped them make it and if it's biological she helps them get the hang of it, our Spidey has no idea who she is other then her acronym and they don't really care, been online enough to be entirely used to usernames and just goes with it, they don't care she knows more about them, mostly because they don't think about it and also because they don't mind, shes a friend and has helped them so far from cops and other baddies, so she's good in their book, if she wanted to arrest them or something she would have done it by now after all.

Both flash and spiderman have an anti villain, not antihero but a guy who is a parallel, flash has the anti flash, same speed powers but different perspectives, and Spidey has venom, who is a direct opposite to Spidey and a corrupting force, big, buff, things spiderman usually isn't, I wanna combines these for our anti bad guy, someone with similar powers who is an opposite and corrupting force, my plan was to use the second spider in this so it like bites someone else, so we get the flash version of similiar powers that spiderman usually doesn't get, but I'm still unsure of the corrupting force part, the opposite one can just come from them both having different minds, they think differently so much you could say their reactions are opposite to the others, like a mirror image if that's how mirrors work, if I have any ideas on that later I'll come back and reblog this again with them

Words aren't my specialty so prepare for word soup spider-sona post, you have been warned

I have no idea how to start this so let's get the basics I have down! This spider-sona is British because you know I am, sticking to what I know, and so the big city they usually protect is London, have I only been there like twice? Yes! Am I doing this anyway? Also yes! Anyway- this spiderman becomes spider man in more of a freak accident, they're visiting London for a week to check out this new science exhibit put on for a limited time only for people to showcase their research, like art fairs for science! Something like that, working on the details but they're interested and manage to get in to see all the cool things and hear how they work, one of these showcases is showcasing a new experiment on spiders... The scientist working on it plans to induce super speed into a silk web spinning spider, the plan is basically if the spider goes really fast it'll make webs really fast and thus you've got a quick supply of spider silk! You'll basically never run out!

Now they've already done it once successfully on a spider they're showcasing as well and they plan to demonstrate the process live today with another spider, as they're already convinced it'll go well with the experience of having done it successfully before, our spiderman here gets an interest in practically everything, even the spider, leaning in to look at the little fella while listening to the explanation of the experiment. When the time comes for the spider fast experiment it ends up going horribly wrong because the equipment explodes, just.. boom! People knocked everywhere and the spiders get out, our soon to be spiderman is knocked down too and while trying to escape the rubble after the explosion they come across a tiny little spider, they crouch down and look at the little fellow, recognizing it as one of the spider experiments but not remembering what one it was, as it crawls on their finger and they think out loud they get interrupted by a fast bite to their palm, slapping the spider away and accidentally killing it.

They are not going to admit they just killed the spider, and entirely decide to blame it on the explosion as they leave the scene of the spider murder and soon after get rescued, it's a whole disaster and it's quite a mess. Something something spider powers! The explosion from the tech plus the experiments made relatively harmless (uk spiders aren't quite poisonous) radioactive fast spiders, and thus after getting bit they get the usual Spidey powers, sticky hands and feet, Spidey sense, super strength and a new one thanks to the experiments specific to that spider, super speed, that's right I'm fixing the heights problem by giving them super speed! Don't need to swing really high up and risk sobbing as spiderman if you can just run real fast and use the webs to help propel yourself forward!

The inspiration for speedy spider over here is spiders that just fucking bolt when you try to kill them and I had a dream where I was spiderman in a spiderverse and my power was speed so clearly my subconscious agrees with me! For the costume it's green because that's my favorite colour, also yellow because green and yellow go great together! I got nothing else for the design just ideas on them

I don't have a name either, in costume or out of costume, there is a green spider in the UK but it's got a lame ass name I ain't using that, my only ideas are like green widow or something leaning more into the speed side like I dunno the speedy spidster? (Pronounce it like Spidey) it's a work in progress! I am working on it, but basically my spider-sona is the flash spiderman, having to run all the way to London when their vacation Is over to save the day is just a part of their job! I'd imagine something might pop up to get them in London more full time but thats the basics! Also no spoilers for anyone reading but they would so socially awkward in the spiderverse, someone says hi and they blue screen, they aren't prepared for this many spideys
