Birds Of A Feather Fight Ghost Together

Danny is now a bird. No, he did not transform willingly and yes it did have something to do with Vlad's new weapon because creepy old men who have acess to advanced tech will try anything on unsuspecting teenagers these days. It's not all that bad though, he can still fight pretty good as a weird pigeon (the ghost learned very fast that sharp talons to the face were not worth it) and the only downside was his attraction to shiny things, which has only distracted him a few times (no Jazz he was not hording the fancy and shiny forks, he was just holding onto them incase he needed them for a bigger dinner later).

Anyways he was flying through the GZ on his way to either find more shiny things or peck out another ghost's eyes, he doesn't mind which comes first, when a glint caught his beady bird eyes.

"Shiny thing first it is."

As Danny flew closer he realized two things. One, the shiny thing was infact a shiny sword. Two, the shiny sword was being wielded by a child in the middle of fighting a ghost.

He quickly flew down opening his beak and produced a small coo wail that immediately popped the creature. Danny needed to figure out how the boy ended up– Wait! HE HAS FRIES!

He'll figure out that later but now he needs those fries.

WIP Wednesday

Thank you so much @z-lagorio for the tag :D I'm still half-busy renovating stuffs at my new place (although this past week I've been mostly just enjoying the results of the work I put in so far xD but gaming corner is up next and I hope I can share some wips of that :3)

ANYWHO

I have been able to continue with my post-sun-ending fic a bit these last few days, I hope I can share the final version of Chapter 11 soon!

Here's a little teaser from Kerry's pov:

He arrived in front of the MSM recording studio in Charter Hill much faster than anticipated… so much so that his impromptu plan to get Lee to talk was still somewhat fuzzy around the edges. He was in the mood to storm in, guns blazing, but there was no guarantee Lee was even there. Maybe he should’ve checked that before coming here. Kerry cursed between his teeth, slightly clammy hands gripping the steering wheel tightly as he parked straight across from the building’s main entrance. Reluctantly he decided to simply call his manager, something he usually never did. It rang a handful of times, longer than he would’ve expected. “Kerry?” asked the shaky voice on the other end of the line in disbelief. “Certainly not Lizzy Wizzy,” Kerry replied deadpan, “Where are ya?” His heart was beating in his throat. “I’m at the studio! I’ve been waiting to hear from you, been worried that –…” “I’m outside the front door,” Kerry interrupted him, “Come down, let’s talk.” He tried not to let his nerves show, and he was thankful for his AudioVox evening out the slight tremor in his words. “Uh… why don’t you come upstairs to my office?” Lee evaded, “Vicki just dropped by with two new demos you can listen to, I think – …” “No,” Kerry said sternly, but he was grasping at straws for a reason as to why they had to meet outside that wouldn’t leave Lee even more suspicious. “Bring the demos with ya, we’ll listen to ‘em on the road,” was the best thing he could bullshit this quickly, “Been too stagnant lately, gotta move around a bit, get the creative juices flowing.” Empty phrases he’d flung around a million times before, but they usually worked with types like Lee. “Oh… okay?” Lee said, then there was silence for a couple of seconds, “Okay, I’ll be right there but… I need to be back at the studio at the latest in an hour, got an important appointment.” Kerry didn’t reply and simply hung up. No promises.

Lee appeared at the building’s main entrance around ten endless minutes later. Kerry’s right leg bounced in a shaky rhythm, the gun in his jacket’s pocket, heavy as a brick, bruising his thigh. Lee jogged across the street, black and blue designer coat fluttering around him. He tried to put on a smile when he approached the passenger side of the car, but it was slanted and forced. Kerry opened the door for him. “Get in,” he ordered, demanded almost, and Lee slightly flinched, fumbling in his pockets and pulling out a handful of shard cases. “Got everything with me, I thought maybe we could start with the song demos? But just in case I also brought the interview questions I mentioned, and some other things you can decide on for the upcoming promo events.” “Wow, great. Now get in,” Kerry repeated himself with zero enthusiasm and finally Lee slipped into the seat. The same seat V had fucked Kerry in so gloriously yesterday… and now Lee desecrated the space with his presence. Kerry closed the door again and sped off before Lee could say another word, headed towards the highway that would lead them out of the city.

(Things happened and are about to happen 👀 been really excited for this chapter but even more so the stuff it will lead to!)

hi mars, hope you're well <33

🍓🛼🌿🍄 for the ask game?

hi flo 🫂 i'm doing well, i hope the same goes for you <3 thank you for stopping by!!

🍓 how did you get into writing fanfiction?

i discovered fanfiction when i was a wee 12/13 year old. in middle school i was obsessed with harry potter, and so i ended up reading tons and tons of harry potter fanfics after school, and what a wonderful new world it was!! people write stories about things that didn't happen in canon but wish they did?? people write romantic stuff between characters?? these characters... kiss??? needless to say i was glued to the italian fanfic website. i developed an obsession for stories involving hermione granger and fred weasley, because pairing up a goody-two-shoes and a goofball has always melted my heart, and eventually this obsession made me go like "wait, i can write something like this myself!!" and so i did. they weren't good. they really weren't. but i had so much fun. the moment i entered high school and realized that my writing was nothing special i stopped :( i kept comparing myself to others and it stopped making writing fanfic fun. i kept reading, though, and eventually commander erwin smith made me find the joy in writing again heheh (and this was also my first time writing reader inserts)

🛼 describe your latest wip with five emojis.

🏡👩🏽‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏼👀🪑🍆 it's just some silly and mindless ***** where they **** on their ***** in front of ***** ********** in the middle of the day 😇 (i'm just taking a lil break from working on the Bigger Wips)

🌿 give some advice on writer's block and low creativity.

oh man, i wish i has some actual advice!! usually these things work for me:

- if you have even the smallest idea for a story in general or for a specific chapter, write it down, bc reading through those small ideas might reignite the inspiration;

- reread your past works / works by your fav writers to help you get the creative juices flowing;

- do NOT force yourself to write if you can already feel it's not the right moment for it, it's supposed to be a fun pasttime, not a chore;

- outline your whole story/chapter first in bullet points, and then do the same thing for each scene, so that it feels less daunting or overwhelming.

maybe they're not revolutionary pieces of advice, but yeah 😔 typically i try not to force myself and to wait for the right moment to come on its own

🍄 share a headcanon for one of your favourite ships or pairings.

i don't think levi was illiterate before joining the scouts, but i do think erwin helped him learn more proper/refined vocabulary and write in cursive. those nights are what allowed them to truly get that close post-acwnr.

(thank you for the asks <3)

Cliff Booth/Ladybug x Tangerine idea

This idea is sorta weird and shoehorned together but it is supposed to be. Afterall, this is a crackship. Now my friend @the-engdyssey and I made a post (see here) about this crack ship and I've been thinking about how to get it to work. Here's what I got:

The time frame on this is a little iffy. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is set in the 1969. Bullet train is modern day. Tangerine has a 70s porn stache. It's a little weird to try and combine them all, so instead Tangerine shall keep his glorious stache while sticking near Once Upon a Time in Hollywood's time-frame. The AU will take place some time in the 1970s.

Ultimately in this AU Cliff Booth is either Ladybug pre-therapy, or is a front for the cover that Ladybug is in. Maybe a mix of both. His past doesn't exactly matter because it is probably all bullshit anyway. So details can be tweaked.

If you have watched once Upon a Time in Hollywood you know Cliff Booth was a war hero. I am not sure if it is ever specified in what branch he served. We know Ladybug is an assasin. Tangerine and Lemon are of course assasins as well.

So how does this connect? Welp I am gonna take my HC that movie!Ladybug was part of the Army- and in this AU he is former Green Beret. When compared to the Twins in the movie Ladybug and Maria always seemed more- well professional. Had the right systems/ resources to run jobs through and to use. So taking that into account I am going to say that Ladybug is either working for the US government, or is apart of some sister corporation that works for it indirectly. In this specific au he would be directly working for the government.

My mind wanders to the CIA. The CIA likes to take former special forces guys under them to do work for them. This is all based on this guy I occasionally watch that works for the CIA and is former Navy Seal (and I think he has a few buddies from Delta force and other special forces that formerly worked for the CIA). As well as a guy I personally know used to be Navy Seals and former CIA.

There are many deparments of the CIA. One job included in that is Bodyguarding (usually foreign ambassadors or other important figures but shhh it's fine. Let me dream.) But there's also intelligence. So I'm not too sure what department Ladybug would be in but oh well. Cliff Booth is Ladybug's alias. And he's undercover for a few years.

So perhaps Rick Dalton is being invesigated, or hired the CIA, or there's some type of OP that puts Ladybug/ Cliff as Dalton's body guard. Or he is poking around for intelligence.

And the Twins are hired to either gather intelligence or kidnap Dalton. Something of the sort. But they gotta go through Dalton's stuntguy- who is surprisingly hard to kill. Who just so happens to be a CIA operative and an ex-special forces member. Not that they are aware of that. I don't think they're working for the goverment either, but rather taking contracts from the underworld.

Chaos ensues because this is inspired by Bullet Train. Cliff/ Ladybug still has shit luck because it's funny.

There's a lot of swearing and attempted murder.

But Tangerine gets to have some fun (eventually),

Am I ever gonna write this? Cue Ladybug's 'nope' when he is talking to Channing's character. But maybe it will get some creative juices flowing. If not it's a fun concept.

Anyway this GIF does not really have anything to do with the post (except it being Cliff) but I loved it and wanted to share.
