MDZS x Firefly AU: A ragtag crew.
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#mdzs au#firefly#wei wuxian#jiang cheng#lan wangji#jiang yanli#Wen Ning#Wen Qing#nie huaisang#xue yang#A-qing#That's right! this month's flavour of MDZS AU is Space Western!#I recently rewatched the show and forgot that the lore essentially made everyone bilingual in Mandarin and English.#It's fun to hear characters talk in mandarin and now understand a little bit of what they're saying!#A Firefly AU fits them so well and I need to talk about it.#I have strong thoughts about my placement for all of these characters. Let's start with the most likely to be contraversial:#I think a less thought-out AU would pitch Wei Wuxian as the Captain or a Companion.#But there are a several reasons why that would simply not be the case:#Wei Wuxian is smart! He's good at what he finds a passion and interest in! Piloting is a complex skill that grants him a freedom to explore#He wants to kick back and chill! He would hate the responsibility of being the captain! That's JC's job!#In my heart he's also second in command - which does make WWX essentially Zoe and Wash smashed together.#Companions are also persons of high rank in this universe. Something WWX is very...not defined as.#Someone beautiful of higher social rank...someone who yearns for someone they want to explode in their mind...It was no contest.#I think there are a lot if really interesting things to explore with LWJ as a companion. Functionally they are similar to Courtesans -#But it isn't always about the sex - A Lan Wangji who sees himself only through the wants and needs of others -#is a really interesting angle I have been pondering a lot about.#Final thought to close up this long ramble: Yes. It is so essential that every space crew have a 'Weird Teen (girl optional) on board'.#Will I post more of this? Maybe! If people want to see more!

Why do people ignore the fact that Annabeth has been training as a demigod longer than almost every other demigod we meet in canon? People really try to downplay her abilities and her intelligence simply because her powers are mental (intelligence and strategy) and not physical.
Mind you, in hand to hand and most other physical combat Annabeth would realistically be more skilled than just about every other character we've met. Canonically, Jason is the only other demigod who is in her age range or younger who has been training as a demigod for longer than Annabeth.
You're telling me that we're meant to believe that Percy has become some major skilled sword fighter in the few weeks he spends at camp every summer even though we rarely see him putting in time to train between quest but we cannot believe that Annabeth who has been at camp and training since she was seven is just as or realistically even more skilled at physical combat than Percy is?
Mind you Annabeth can't fall back on physical powers like Percy or a lot of the other named demigods can. She has to rely on her combat skills and her intelligence. She survived almost all of the same battles and wars that Percy did, playing as crucial a role as Percy did in most (not all, but most) without even half of the protection or physical powers that Percy has.
I need both the fans, and even sometimes Rick, to stop downplaying her physical abilities. Please put some respect on Annabeth's name!
I truly hope the show improves on this and shows her physical fighting abilities. Annabeth has never been some damsel in distress waiting for Percy to save her and I need to see that reflected on screen.

“can I be honest with you?” Austin scoffs before he said; “William Andrew Solace, if you say you miss your boyfriend for the 37th time today, I’ll dismiss myself and leave you alone in this shift.”
Will acted surprised with all dramatic hand-on-chest. “you counted? damn. but seriously it’s been—“
“3 days, Will. ”
“3 days! how wounded i am being left? can’t you see here I’m suffering with all these loving feeling all alone? Austin! please!” Austin rolled his eyes as he open the storage box, lining bandages, gauzes, adhesives, elastics, and triangular in their respective lines. “oh please, what is Nico doing anyway?” Will shrugged as he rolled a tray of scalpels into sterilizer.
“his father called him. saying he needs Nico for the underworld things. complicated applications, judge control and all that stuff. he said he needs to check up on Menoetes’ work too, for the nectar and ambrosia collecting. you know, being the prince of the underworld. he promised not going on Tartarus though. he said to check on Asphodel and Elysium too.” Austin nods on that.
“I just- I just-? you know I’m-“ Will sat down before Austin walks to him. “you’re worrying his safety. Will, you do know he survived two wars with and without us. he went to tartarus twice, Will. he’ll be okay. he’ll be fine.” Will sighed. “he only pack his stygian iron sword and the clothes he wear!” Austin shrugged. “pretty sure he has his own room is his dad’s palace? era, ero?-“ “Erebos. you’re right. but what if he gets hurt? what if-“ graaughhr
“Sweet Apollo! you scar’d me!”
“Will, wha- is this a zombie?!”
Will gives Austin’s weirded out look the same look. “I don’t know? what are you doing here, Mr. Zombie?” graughrhs. said the undead, while holding out a surprisingly clean letter—sealed with black stamp, and a black box filled with two family packs of golden Oreos , enough ambrosia squares and canteens full with nectar. the zombie—somehow shyly—also held out a flower bouquet of night-blooming cereus (which is the flower persephone offer to him), hyacinthus and asphodels.
the Mr. Zombie then take a few space from both Will Solace and Austin Lake and stood there as Will processing of what just happened. “dude, I think it’s from Nico.” Austin gets a hold of the box and bouquet onto the table as he watch his brother holding onto the letter as if it was an ancient victorian fragile artifact. “whoa, do I need to get Cecil and Lou Ellen?” “nah, stay with me, Austin. catch me if I pass out.”
“and fill the shift alone? damn man.” but he agreed anyway as Will undo the stamp after reading the swift writing on the envelope.
to : Will Solace, My significant annoyance.
Dear Will,
I hope you don’t trouble yourself any harm.
I’m writing to you from Menoetes’ farm here. I’m fine and my journey went incredibly well, I might finish the tasks before next week comes. how are you, Night Light? Menoetes and Geryon here say hi. the troglodytes also give hail to Will Solace the Texan Son of Apollo.
Do you miss me? do you like the bouquet? Persephone insists on sending the bouquet, talking about ‘darkness’ and all. next meeting, I need you to tell me your conversation with her, seriously. I asked John to buy golden Oreos and put it with ambrosia and nectar. is it done? those are for you and infirmary needs. do you need me to get you anything for yourself? share the oreos with Kayla and Austin, you greedy dork.
this sound incredibly sappy, I can’t believe you turned me this way, Solace. either way, I miss you. ugh how do you cross words without making the ink spill? you can send me anything in return through John—I mean if you want to, I’m not forcing you or anything. you know that, don’t you?
I’ll soon be back, don’t miss me too much, Carebear. I love you.
Love, Nico Di Angelo
“that’s real sappy. just saying—wait, how come you are so red? it’s been a year and a half and you’re still flustered over him? gods, you guys are so gay” Austin fake gag while Will softly slap his shoulders “oh shut up, you are gay too, dumb ass. now let me write my return letter in peace” “oh please, like a pigeon war love letter? spare me your emotional train-wreck please.” Austin waves as he walk to the beds, to fix up the bed? he don’t know, all he know is he want to avoid Will Solace’s flustered manner as good as possible.
————————————
Months, years later…
“what’s with the pout, Will? it’s only been 5 days since Nico’s next mission! I’m sure he’ll be fine, doing his prince duty and allat” Lou Ellen shrugs as she punch Will’s upper arms jokingly, while Will is still fidgeting on top of the picnic mat near the lake.
“it’s been 5 days, Lou! without any messages!” Lou Ellen rolled his eyes. “oh come on, he’s probably too busy. he’ll send those ‘elite-victorian, love-letter-pigeon-like zombie sooner or later.”
Cecil pops his stolen lolly. “I don’t know, Will. how are you so calm about a zombie being your transpor of sending messages? aren’t you scared?” Will shrugs. “at first, it does. but now? I’m waiting for his presence! to know what my boyfriend’s doing!”
Lou Ellen gives Cecil a look. “he’s down bad, he doesn’t care about the transport and all this undead things” Cecil laughs. “I don’t know, Lou. he fell head over heels, what do you expect him to not like about Nico Di Angelo?”

imagine being a tired mech pilot exiting the cockpit after a long mission and immediately feeling better after seeing your butch mechanic approaching, covered in oil and grease, muscles bulging under their tank top as they grin and wink at you, ready to restore your beloved machine with the same care and attention you know they'll use to destroy you later that night

I've seen a lot of analizing outfits and pictures of the actors and trying to figure out if they have hidden meanings for season 3 of Squid Game. And while that's also really interesting I think the best indicator for what might happen and which characters survive the longest in season 3 is who is the most present for promotional stuff. The actors of characters that aren't going to be as important are a lot less likely to appear in interviews, in little promotional videos on the social media accounts and at live events. Now there's obviously always the possibility that an actor just didn't have the time to appear at live events or be a part of a lot of shoots for other promotional stuff but if we ignore that for a second I think it's very likely that three of the most important characters of season 3 (aside from Gi-hun and In-ho obviously) will be Hyun-ju, Geum-ja and Myung-gi. All three of their actors are in a lot of the promotional videos and photoshoots, especially when there are only a few actors that are part of it. Both Park Sung-hoon and Kang Ae-sim were present for the Tudum live events and while Yim Si-wan wasn't there he was the person who got the card with 'two' written on it in the days leading up to the Tudum live show and Myung-gi has also been very present in a lot of the official posters. Often with posters characters of bigger importance will be bigger/more in the front and I don't think they'd put Myung-gi this much in the center if he didn't have a more important role this season. I think Jun-hee might also get pretty far since Jo Yu-ri was also part of that Tudum countdown and that photoshoot of some of the actors with the light shining on them in the shapes. The only other actors of players (once again excluding Gi-hun) in that photoshoot were the actors of Hyun-ju, Geum-ja and Myung-gi. So in conclusion if we look at a lot of promotional content for season 3 that has been put out by Netflix and especially everything that has a limited amount of actors we can see that it's always the same 4 actors of players that are still alive (Myung-gi, Hyun-ju, Geum-ja and Jun-hee) which is why I believe that these four characters are most likely to survive the longest or maybe even make it out alive
#while netflix promotion obviously can't be a super clear indicator for what will actually happen#i think it would be kinda stupid promotion to for example have geumja's actress in so much when her character actually gets killed off#right at the beginning#that wouldn't make any sense#they will show you the most from actors of characters that you're supposed to root for#and it also subconsciously prepares you#you saw a lot of this actor on social media so it will make sense to see a lot of that character in the show#unless they're trying to mislead us but idk if that's really the case#it is possible that a character that wasn't as obvious is gonna have an unexpected bigger role#then maybe they'd hide it a little to not take too much away from that plot twist#but i also think those 4 characters have the most potential to get to the finale of the games#hyunju is obvious she's strong she's very smart she can fight but she's also caring enough to not throw her allies under the bus#myunggi i feel like might go a more extreme/agressive 'doing what has to be done' route a little bit like sangwoo maybe but he has differen#motivations#we've already seen with youngmi that he won't hesitate to make a tough decision to save himself and junhee#geumja i think will also get really far because she's smart very confident and kind and caring#and i also think yongsik might sacrifice himself for her which still doesn't mean certain survival for geumja#but i don't think they'll kill her off right after her son just died for her#that would just be cruel and also wouldn't make much sense for the show cause when similarly jiyeong sacrificed herself for saebyeok#saebyeok didn't immediately die in the next game#junhee i'm very conflicted on because i think she'll be important but i don't know how she's survive the jumprope game#she's very determined but i think if her child is born and they possibly take it away from her she might just give up#like how we saw in the trailer#but tbh if it's about her child and either getting it back or getting it out alive then she'll likely do anything to make that possible#but also that clip from the teaser of her crying scares me So Much because it just looks so much like her last moment#squid game#cho hyun ju#lee myung gi#kim jun hee#jang geum ja

pro tip for anyone planning on buying Another Crab's Treasure: for the love of fuck don't get the Switch release, it's almost unplayably buggy. i did, by sheer stubbornness, make it to the end and beat the final boss after a 2.5-hour slog (it's the final boss of a souls game. it's Fuckin' Hard.)... which immediately caused the game to crash and i had to look up the ending on youtube.

so is shadowclanmew just austrailian
I made a vow that if there ever was some situation where I was putting voiceclaims to BB characters, I have to choose exclusively Northern English accents. But I would also include wiggle room for a Welsh accent.

Men who view women as their intellectual equals 😍
#pro tip for the boys: a lot of girls will respond a lot better to a stimulating conversation than to a guy trying to show off#ignore the movies they're lying to you when they tell you you need to be a show off#and if a girl wants that it's maybe not the best sign y'know?#but most girls just want to be treated like we're capable intelligent humans#that's all!! the movies and shit make it way more complicated than it has to be#and yes some girls do make things awkward and complicate everything#but maybe you wanna be careful about that because those girls generally have a lot to unpack#being friends with those girls is fine!! just make sure you have strong boundaries in place#and make sure she's doing some work on herself before considering a romantic relationship#but anyway i've had a lot of men in my life that i feel like wanted to be so much smarter than me#and not to be rude but they weren't?? i was just as smart and sometimes smarter#i didn't care that they were confident in their intelligence but i felt like i needed to dumb myself down#and it. freaking. sucked. i have no idea how i did it for so long#and i would even make jokes about like the guys i dated being smarter than me and nobody ever said anything??#and again these guys weren't smarter than me. that's not an insult to them just acknowledging i'm smarter than i was gave myself credit for#i'm outgrowing the notion that i have to dumb myself down for men and it's so freeing#and you know what really helps me actually? being in college#and especially being in college with so many intelligent men who know they're smart#these guys KNOW they're smart. and not in an arrogant way in a secure and confident way#them knowing they're smart makes them the OPPOSITE of arrogant actually#it's weird but i stand by my observation and it makes sense when you think about it#if you're secure in yourself and your intelligence you don't need to proce yourself by making other people look dumb#these guys are secure in their self-image and masculinity. they don't need women to be dumb and weak to feel strong and intelligent.#and it's so freaking endearing. i love that for these guys so much.#i am just so thankful for people in my life who are taking me seriously and who are helping me to understand i'm worth taking seriously.#wow these tags are long but anyway#guys you don't have to prove anything girls you should never have to dumb yourselves down live long and prosper

Lyris finally gets to introduce Solas to Tala and the rest of her clan, and Tala is immediately demanding to hear all about what happened in Minrathous and if her mum killed another god like she killed Corypheus.
Give it an hour, Solas will have all the kids pestering him to turn into a wolf because Lyris told Tala that he ripped Lusacan's throat out, and she's run around telling everyone.

Blasting my psyonic beam at whoever's in range to explain how the Tenacious D covers of "Wicked Game" and "I think I love you" sound how closeson feels. To me. Unrelated, I'm not usually all that into zombie apocalypse AUs but I think Darryl and Glenn would be so fucking funny in that context and my mind keeps going back to it. Send post.
