Rewatching the first few episodes of fhjy because i guess i have nothing better to do and the way you can see how kibblespilly was supposed to be a counter to riz is so fucking funny. Its all there from the very beginning- the attitude, the tactics, the way she interacts with the party and everything- this is supposed to be riz's counterpart to run against him for student body president and have a terrible battle of wits and barbs

But in a twist that is perhaps THE most befitting to her ideal story of running against the boy she chose to be her antagonist, the intrepid heroes just straight up not taking the bait resulting in her instead having to go toe to toe against her idealized perfect rival's aggressive near-flunkie unsubtle chaotic friend is SO FUNNY.

Like I know some people are disappointed we dont get the riz vs kipperlily presidential whatever, I know it doesnt make tons of sense in that specific narrative way. But the fucking hilarious meta that even this didnt go her way is so funny. Because instead of rogue sneaking and behind the shadows plays and spy vs spy shit, we have just outward schoolyard taunts and shit like kristen exploding and jumping over the school and the exact kind of play that baits kipperlily into rage every single time and its so fucking funny. Kristen runs naked through the school and does party stunts and is STILL BEATING HER. She even clearly constructed her party to mirror the bad kids perfectly and craft each of them their own nemesis/counterpart and for the most part it like kind of worked EXCEPT FOR HER.

It must drive her fucking crazy that her cute little plot of rogue vs rogue didnt pan out at fucking all despite ALL the signs pointing to that making the most sense. This was something she just couldnt predict, couldnt mastermind. She got up onto that metaphorical stage for a debate and instead was met with a clowning act. Its so funny. I love fantasy high. Nothing you could have done would have changed this, fourdogs. You never had any power at all.

accidentally glanced at the receipt while my boss was signing it on Saturday night to see the dinner cost about 300 dollars. Accidentally clicked on the wrong account in QB today to see she'd already entered the total and it was close to 400 dollars (bc there was an 85 dollar tip on the bill)

One day I will Learn to stay out of the credit card portion of QB so soon after company Christmas dinner 🙈🙈🙈

Fun fact about my art (if you even care): if you pay close attention to certain characters, you can see their... what would you call that, a cowlick? The piece of hair that sticks up from the rest. I call them hair floops

Anyway, if you pay close attention, you'll sometimes see that it'll express whatever vague emotion the character it's attached to is feeling (usually some variation of positive, negative, shock, curiosity, and love).

m'love, thank you so much for this.

so basically it's a heist fic, post me1. (slight canon divergence because i know technically garrus and wrex weren't on the normandy when the collector ship attacked) but it flips back and forth between the moments before and during the collector attack and the past 2 weeks, where shepard and her crew have no memory.

they have no memory because!!! they were contacted by a woman named jack of diamonds (super cool and super eyepatch and super hot, in that order... also she's named jack of diamonds after my favorite campfire song from red dead 2 and this is like a little bit of a crossover inspiration fic) to steal this prothean device from a space station that could be used as a super weapon because it uses the same technology that sovereign used to turn humans into husks. this woman works for cerberus but shep is like?? ok with that?? (tbf she doesn't really know what cerberus is just yet so she's just like huh okay i guess i'll do it, also she has no reason to believe that cerberus would make a husk army becasue THAT lil chestnut doesnt happen for like 3 years) but the only way she'll let shep do it is if she and her crew implant a memory chip to their omnitools that will wipe their memory completely afterwards (this is the one thing i don't have worked out yet like maybe she has something on shep like she's blackmailing her for something??? yeah this is shaky tbd)

so shep and co have to steal this device. fullblown heist at some swanky party a la the capitol scene from catching fire. WREX IS HEISTING. GARRUS IS HEISTING. LIARA IS HEISTING. ashley and tali are like bffs (and maybe b plot they fuck? tbd) and of COURSE shakarian because how can i not. but sheppy is still a lil upset cuz kaidan is dead and she's had feelings for garrus but is afraid to do anything becasue she doesn't want to see another person she cares about killed but garrus is like huh i literally don't care if i live or die i want to tap that so desperately and also i love you. but of course he's a nerd so he can never just say that. cue hilarity and pining and fluff.

so they klep the device for jack of diamonds and drop it off and shes like hey thanks!!!! ily shep!!!!! except shep is super suspicious and is like hmmm this is weird. this jack lady is weird. we need to STEAL IT BACK because apparently she was going to target a colony with it and turn a bunch of innocent people into husks so that cerberus could study them (again this is a detail that has not been ironed out yet sorry if it sounds a lil sus just now)

and of course before this suicide run there's the steamiest and fluffiest sex scene known to man. you know what im like. they get into this big fight and shes like garry youre a COWARD you only tell me you have a thing for me when we know this memory chip is going to wipe our memories??? garrus tries to kiss shep and shes like NO PLEASE I CANT CARE ABOUT YOU and then exactly 2 seconds later shes like actually? lets fuck

so they steal the device back. they know their memories are going to be erased so they just kindve? dont care if they do something atrocious? because they wont remember? and i get so wet thinking about morally ambiguous shepard who is like super renegade (or at least paragade)??? anyways jack of diamonds is like hey you shouldnt trust cerberus this was their plan all along and shep is like literally i do not care bang bang bang ur dead xoxo

so yeah the plot is still a lil iffy. BUT I HAVE THE END ALL PLANNED OUT AND IM SUPER PROUD OF IT. that it's NOT some prothean device, it was tim doing his lil illusive thing. it was his plan to get shepard killed so that he could test out the tech used to revive her, and the device is actually a honing beacon for the collectors (because i literally never understood how the collectors found the normandy in the first place they had their stealth cores up and its never explained how theyre found and it's a plothole that PISSES ME OFF so this fic is literally made out of spite to explain it)

so yeah shep and co wake up after not knowing what happened, that lil love confession between shep and garrus doesnt happen, and shepard dies. so its sad? but not because then me2 happens and everyone is reunited and shakarian still happens yayayayya

so yeah typing it out like this also tells me i need to steam out the details a little bit more but i want to write this so badly and turn left is taking all of my energy so i think im going to try to double fist these two fics and see if i pop our sane.

anyways thank you!!!!!

Also idk i dont quite like the narrative tht i can see emerging tht the moroccan govt puts nothing into soccer bc theyve recently starting to put quite a lot, is it as much as europe or certain south american teams no probably not but theres like scouting tht goes on w kids going back as far as like twenty years ago.

The king has signed off on a lot of stuff in the past ten years to try to i guess improve image n moral of morocco. Like official mural projects not just in places big with tourism but like even probably one of the most unloved by the king bigger city of Meknes.

The lampposts all got a swanky new redesign w the city name and something theyre known for... And theres stuff like the plastic bag ban initiative tht lasted maybe about two years, the push for solar power. N like I'm against the idea of nation states literally i want them all gone basically but also ... They exist rn and since they exist i do cling onto small victories...

[lovesongforthedeadche]

They were playing dnb on the speakers outside the mejuri at the swanky outdoor mall that has like a vuori and a reformation and a mini bloomingdales and i was so taken aback bc i forgot about pinkpantheress. theyre gonna play breakcore on the radio soon

actually scampering around nyc kind of fucking up my future ability to immerse in my favorite film, which is set in nyc, because now that i'm learning things about the layout and vibes i'm like. yeah so why is the entire film them running around manhattan and then suddenly theyre in a bowling alley which i know now is in greenpoint bc i've looked it up, with no transition like as if they just walked in there off the street when they were just in like chinatown. matter of fact why do we never see them on public transit at all. (actually there might be a little brief bus scene i can't remember it's been a minute since i've seen it but the point is there is no significant transit depictions and it's like they just materialize wherever they want in the city.) and anyway. this bowling place slash venue slash bar is fuckin swanky like i'm not sure i'm willing to put down the cash to go here. and mans apartment is gorgeous. so i know his miserable broke ass would NOT be affording this lifestyle.

parker voice what

uh. fanteam yeah hold on lemme get my old discord messages.

uh so the 🍝 niagara falls meatballs r a blaseball team that plays under contract for a swanky dining establishment bridging the niagara river. theyre sorta real dicks. bc reservations for niagara falls fine dining r hella expensive. the menu is full of the stupidest rich-person shit ever too like u know all those $20,000 foods with real edible gold leaf? like that. but yk they needed more than just good food to attract customers. so people who eat there can also look out the floor-to-ceiling & wall-to-wall windows and watch blaseball lmao close.

and then like. the restaurant bridges the river yeah? yea. they play in the river. and theyve made it a lil more traversable but like still. on good days they just gotta hop around on wet slippery rocks to get around, on bad days theyre just straight up fighting raging currents that reach their knees. so fuckin nobody likes playing there lmao. to make up for the rest of the league having to deal with all that the opposition always gets a postgame meal on the house. but theres no game and the owners gotta stick to the brand right? so instead they watch the meatballs work thru a contractually-obligated postgame practice that happens no matter the weather :)

anyway shit sucks for them lmao

this doesn't have to be about the wip specifically, but please tell me about the niagara falls meatballs

Ok they’re actually not mine! They’re the mirrorverse counterpart of @burningcrab’s fanteam, the Great Lakes Pancakes (I think?)! I had an idea YEARS ago and it just was one sentence never to be touched again

I love your pirate moon and sun, so much that I made fanart of your fanart 😂 which is saying something, cause I feel like I never create things for fandoms.

I couldn’t decide what colour of to make his fit, I know blue and stars are typically his colour scheme, but I really liked how his coat looked in red, so I took some artistic liberty. 😂 What colour do you image him in?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GOD! YES! THank you! I am

Losing my mind

Sorry guys i know i said i was wired headphones until my grave but i got a pair of wireless/wired combo beats solos for christmas and i have to say bluetooth is very nice. Not getting wires caught on doorknobs or in the spokes of my bike anymore. Not getting it in the soapy water when i listen to mcelroy podcasts and MDWAP while doing the dishes. No chance of my headphones breaking because the rubber on the wire erodes off the more i plug and unplug it. I think I'm joining the enemy.

[dballzposting]

I keep coming back to this post and trying to reblog it with further comments but i keep struggling and sighing and deleting the draft . I don’t know what to say. It’s juts that they’re pushing 40 and Yamucha is very frank with him and is like “Have you ever had gay sex? Do you want to?” and this interaction of theirs carries on for hours and they converse and Yamucha shows Vegeta his swanky cabin but they keep coming back to that topic so like 78% of the conversation is in fact related to gay sex and the prospect that they could do it. I dont know how to explain it and it’s not important and it doesnt matter . . . Vegeta is still asexual . . . but like . . .

To Vegeta, Yamucha is the very definition of a non-threat. The ONLY field that theyve ever competed on is when it came to Bulma, and Vegeta won that battle without even trying. And I’m not saying that Vegeta has his guard down becasue his guard is NEVER down but, like ... Being in Yamucha’s swanky cabin and acting all tense is tantamount to admitting that there’s something to be anxious about. Saying “I dont have time for this” is tantamount to saying “Im afraid of what I will do if I stay.” And again, yamucha is a NON-THREAT !!! Vegeta is 100% confident to just let yamucha say whatever. And they yo-yo between interesting stories and boring ones, conversations about gay sex and conversations not about that.

For whatver reason vegeta was convinced to attend Guy’s Night, and he did, and hes too prideful to NOT be chill on Guy’s Night. It’s a waste of time, but IF he’s gonna attend..! Heh. Oh, what the hell. Might as well relax. Somehow he ends up at Yamcuha’s cabin and it’s becasue Yamcuha is very frank with him and it does Not feel like he’s trying to play him, and even if he tried to, how could he? Vegeta knows that he’s on a whole different level from this pathetic sonofabitch. 

You can’t tell that Vegeta has loosened up unless you know him well. The evidence is in the very fact that he Is Still There and is Still Listening and is Still Responding. He’s standing with his arms crossed, leaning against the wall, he does not always make eye contact and he does not always look at the decorative statue that you are presenting, but he’s still there. 

And, like. Ugh. Yamucha is not trying to play him. TBH he hated Vegeta for a LONG TIME. He never forgave him for anything, but he did cool off about it. He’s willing to effectively be over it. And, like, he’s not trying to tarnish the sanctity of Bulma’s marriage. But he himself has had something to drink and you know how Yamucha gets. He sort of just stops caring about all of that. This is just sort of where the night has gone. Maybe there’s a bit of a thrill becasue of how relevantly powerful Vegeta is, but mostly it’s just Yamucha’s nature to be comfortable in the endless tango of one-on-one seduction in his swanky no-strings-attached cabin. WHY NOT. He’s not afraid of Vegeta. Worst case scenario, he gets some interesting conversation out of it (something he values more and more as he ages).

UGH. I Know For A Fact that Vegeta considers all talk of sex to be RIBALD, VULGAR, INAPPROPRIATE, UNENJOYABLE TALK. BUT !! This is Guy’s Night. What’s more, it’s JUST Yamucha. Vegeta’s not disclosing anything at the bar over chicken wings in front of Krillin and co., but it’s Just the washed-up Yamucha and theyre in his swanky cabin and on his red loveseat. And theyve been talking on and off all night so it’s this point where it’s only fair for vegeta to start disclosing info. So he does disclose that his first and only lover is his wife. 

And like. Yamucha is NOT trying to play him and is in fact being very frank and upfront with him. Becasue theyre pushing 40 and things have chilled over the years and Yamucha is just not going to try to play Prince Vegeta. But he does have tricks up his sleeve that he employs reflexively. It’s just how he interacts when someone is in his cabin at this point. He is NOT being skeevy, and in fact he COULDN'T POSSIBLY be skeevy given who they are, but when he sits down on the loveseat, he DOES take the seat closest to the exit, so that vegeta has to take the seat closer to the innards of the cabin. 

And there IS a point where he’s telling some story, and he takes one of his antique baseball bats off of the wall, and he starts .. absentmindedly playing with it as he speaks. He’s reminiscing, even, and he rubs it wistfully, or he bounces it against the floor and lets it come up and down in his grip, or he rubs the tip of it with his thumb, or just any manner of motion that is sensual when performed to this phallic object.

And it does have Vegeta, who at this point is still standing against the wall, still with his arms crossed, staring. And Vegeta does not notice that he is staring. But if he did notice he would not be able to understand why he’s staring. Becasue again, Vegeta has always considered sex to be vulgar, and he is just NOT HIP to this subtle forms of seduction, he is NOT HIP to the idea that one’s brain may connect two unrelated thoughts if the motion corresponds. 

So Yamucha is NOT TRYING TO PLAY VEGETA. And in fact, this all only happens becasue he CANNOT play vegeta. Vegeta fancies himself unplayable. Vegeta considers Yamcuha a non-threat. Vegeta knows what he likes and dislikes and will not be swayed. Vegeta has never even conversed about sex openly. Vegetea can BE COOL, vegeta can have a Guy’s Night . . . It is NO SKIN OFF OF VEGETA’S BACK to humour Yamcucha, to see his cabin, to let him be frank with him. Why not. 

The thing is, Vegeta has been watching him all night and he thinks that he is loose-jointed, he thinks him to be unskilled as a warrior, he doesnt really have any respect for Yamucha and never has and doesnt have to. And Yamucha has been so frank with him, truly, what’s hiding? Surely nothing. SO, he goes along with it, becasue no matter what possibly comes up, it’ll still be beneath Vegeta. 

And that’s exactly why any of this happens. It’s becasue it can’t. So Vegeta is available to follow tangents and threads and to see things through, he’s willing to respond with curious doubt and sarcasm that CAN be diffused/flipped rather than his usual without-debate comments. And, like. It’s true that hes never had gay sex before. (In this idea he hasnt had that 45 minutes of Kakarot’s unadulterated attention yet). Like, sex is kind of a big deal to him, because when he does it it’s with his wife, who happens to be Bulma, and it’s kind of a whole thing, and sensory-wise it’s also kind of a whole thing. But, like, WITH A GUY ? that’s, like, nothing. After talking about it for two hours (but Yamucha always careful to not destroy the mysticism of it), Vegeta becomes convinced that it’s straightforward and without strings and completely available for him to take.

And Yamuhca is really cool about the whole thing. He doesnt kick Vegeta out after but he doesnt assume that he’ll stay either. He stays awake for as long as Vegeta is, and when Vegeta gets up and gets dressed to leave, Yamucha puts his pants on and sees him to the door. He’s like “Thanks for visiting, really. Come back anytime. Give Bulma my regards.” and it’s not even weird that he said that last bit. It makes sense. They’re all friends here, sorta. 

The most damning thing is that this all happens while Vegeta is stone sober. He doesnt like drinking away from home becasue he likes to be able to make the best decisions at all times. And now this 

And TBH i think that it goes pretty well like .. no complaints. Just my personal opinion. I think that Vegeta finds himself two weeks later daydreaming about Yamcuha’s legs and the sweet summerboy-feel of how it was a no-strings-attached encounter . 

TBH I think that vegeta was out for a very good chunk of the night, so Bulma goes to sleep without him, and when she awakes he’s in bed. And after he wakes up she asks him how Guys' Night went and where he was all night. She’s expecting something like, Oh it sucked so I fucked off and trained in some random location for a while. But instead Vegeta says very gruffly “Yamucha’s house.” 

And Bulma really is surprised by this. Then she says “No way, did you learn how to socialize? Are you finally housebroken?” and Vegeta rebuffs the snide comment with “I don’t even think Yamucha is.” 

True, true. And then Bulma starts thinking, and she knows Yamucha pretty fucking well by now, and she knows how he gets when hes chilling and has had something to drink, and she knows about that swanky cabin. So she asks, I guess in a chummy manner, “He didn’t hit on you, did he?”

And she knows it’s a bit too risque for Vegeta, but if he was able to stomach Guys' Night with Yamcuha, he can take this comment. But a bit to her surprise, his head snaps like a wild deer, and his face goes bright red, and hes like “N. NO.”

She never does find out what happened ........ Becasue she and Vegeta dont know how to fucking communicate.

and TBH it sort of ruins the fantasy when Yamcuha acts like a normal guy and a family friend. Like Vegeta would rather he stop sending Trunks birthday cards in the mail for instance. Like, who told you that you could talk to my son ? You’re supopsoed to be my secret midnight lover ... youre not supposed to know my family ........................

TBH I think that Vegeta could be talked into letting Yamucha [REDACTED] him but I will absolutely not be sparing any details whatsoever at this time
