i hate when people go "why cant people just be friends :((( why cant we have strong platonic bonds anymore?" to ships
and do you wanna know the reason? like do you really wanna know the reason. okay well here we go ig-
(click read more for an actual analysis of why this doesnt happen)
no one writes strong platonic bonds well anymore.
at least they cant do so without it seeming romantic because of one thing.
shipping and romance.
without a doubt it has taken over our society as a whole and this is for quiet a few reasons, we literally have a holiday about romance, one of the many things moments people experience in high school is taking out their crush to a dance (of course many people take friends and make just as fun if not longer lasting memories), influencers share their lives on the daily, most fans are teens going through puberty so yknow what that means, and hollywood.
the main reason being of course hollywood.
with all of these reasons combined hollywood sees this and basically goes "oh look at all of these opportunities for romance and most importantly drama!!" and then they take it, make a romantic bond, get you attached and then proceed to put you through hell with it getting you addicted to it. but why a romantic bond? why not platonic? because its simple, when tv and stuff started pushing out they wanted to get people heavily attached and they didnt think or care about platonic bonds because why have platonic bonds when you can instantly take it to the much "juicier" step? aka romantic bonds?
now im gonna lump in all of our previous reasons together. its no big surprise that our lives TYPICALLY (most likely not for people on the ace spectrum) are heavily centered around romance and sex and so in order to relate to the MAJORITY (from what large companies can tell) of people they tend to make that platonic bond romantic to get people swooning over it and thinking 'oh thats what i want in a partner'
so we tend to perceive these actions as romantic when in reality... theyre typically not, not unless youre kissing or actively having sex these actions arent all that romantic. even holding hands isnt really that romantic. ive had several friends who desire no romantic relationship with each other hold hands and jokingly press their faces close together as if they were being 'romantic' with each other. ive in fact shared a bed with my friend a few times and found that yeah... theyre just my friend. these actions are not romantic. so why do we think that they are?
hollywood, from our past memories and "experiences" (experiences in quotations because lets be honest... its just movie watching) we see these actions as romantic because theyve been dont with romantic undertones. for example let me put the absolute stupidest thing thats been romanticized.
giving someone your jacket or umbrella when its raining. especially when its friend.
yes. hollywood was romanticized basic human decency towards someone that you care about. im 90% sure that anyone reasing this would gladly give their jacket to their friend if it was raining and they didnt want them to catch a cold, or if they had an extra layer to just simply give them. OR if they had an umbrella they would share.
because thats what you do for someone that you care for
but in hollywood this was romanticized by the enemies to lovers trope or the rivals to lovers or... whatever you want to call it- it was romanticized and soon enough they began doing it with everything. friends to lovers. (i dont know which trope made it romantic first so dont quote me on this the main point is that they made it romantic when the gesture itself is NOT)
point being, like it or not romance is something that was heavily implemented into your mind as a child and will always be there. and its why we cant perceive friends as 'just friends' anymore or whatever youd like to call it. the implication of past experiences with media will always be there and guess what? suck it up. its always going to be there and theres nothing you can do about it.
so yeah. thats why people cant perceive things as just friends and why strong platonic bonds quite literally cant really be written well anymore. unless of course they shove it down your throat with the constant 'oh youre my best friend!' but even then- oops it was romanticized by hollywood...
so thats my take on the whole situation. personally i think you should just let people ship whatever they want as long as its legal lol
#shipping discourse#fandom talk#shipping#now im gonna tag some popular ships cause why not#satosugu#itafushi#bakudeku#togachako#killugon#leopika#lawlight#jayvik#caitvi#well that ones canon#timebomb#same with that one...#nobamaki#inuokko#yutamaki#ughh im running out of ideas for ships#just tag one if you know it fits :/

tell me about your headcanons about the cultural differences between layers plss
- your favourite sister ever

takes a deep deep deep breath. hello niki. my beloved sister. my favoritest sister ever.
the noob layer (before the evil champion)
very very community oriented
block parties (get it) are really popular!!
a lot of sharing and stuff going on
music!! music is a really big thing!!
accent sounds a bit like theyre singing, almost like theyre dancing with words!! they dont pronounce their vowels fully!!
the noob layer (after the evil champion)
community??? no chance, everyone dies before you get to even know their name (which is why evbo never bothers asking anyone)
really the only sharing they do is when someone is sick or theres a child and occasionally family units share food
cannibalism. yeah. its normal for people to go insane, the noobs probably refer to it as some kind of curse or something bc thats fun
the pro layer (before the evil champion)
everyones neighbors!! less community oriented than the noob layer
more focused on helping each other get better!! regularly helping each other learn fun new parkour things
their accent is kinda like. how do i explain this. their voices tend to be softer and tbh i wanna say they sound like a weird mix of southern and british. dont ask questions.
i dont have much for the pro layer if yall have fun things hand 'em over
the pro layer (after the evil champion)
music is HUGE here between moral boosting events and also playing songs for parkour !!
community oriented but more in the way where family units stick together and everyone else is like. a coworker. like you might be friends and occasionally you might get close with someone but like. ehhhhh
mostly just like. yeah i work in the same general area as this guy
the fighter later (before they were banished)
this layer has the most people because its so hard to rank up so its the one with the most stuff going on!!
libraries!! this is the layer of scholars and shit!!
theres so many people here that the masters come down and hang out here a lot too!!
this is where everyone learns things, theres no schools on the other layers because everyone has the chance to rank up !!
this ones just fun, its got a mix of everything because its the most populated \o/
they have a fun accent i think, tbh i wanna say its similar to new york? idk
the fighter layer (after the banishment)
devoid of basically everything that made it what it was
the most sparsely populated now
everyone is hostile as fuck, by the point we see it in canon everything's been combed over tens of hundreds of times so if someone sees someone else its safe to assume one of them is getting mugged
unless its a seawatt situation but whatever
some bonds still remain and theyre as strong as ever now
everyone either has fashioned masks out of their clothes or just has the most fucked up throat from the frequent sandstorms.
the master layer (before the evil champion)
not much going on up here!! they normally hang out on the fighter layer
huuuuuge showoffs but like in a fun way!! performances!!! wow!!!
theyve got a bit of twang in their voice i think bc yes.
the master layer (after the evil champion)
showoffs but in a bad way
big on spreading rumors
really reclusive, never visit lower levels or each other
battling is common for any reason, the more people youve defeated in a battle the higher up you are on the social ladder
ok heres some!! i hope u like it it took me like 45 minutes to write all this bc i kept getting distracted

Is it me or has the writing quality gone down in enstars? the reason I say this is because although I don't keep up with the game (I am still heavily into enstars I just went on a game hiatus bc im salty for losing my account) I keep on hearing about the writers just absolutely butchering the character's development and mischaracterizing them. It's like the fans know the characters better than the writers themselves. Plus I haven't recovered from my anger from them adding Ibuki to Akatsuki (as well as blatantly ignoring and erasing his Ryukyuan/Okinawan heritage). This really frustrates me
oh for SURE. granted, ive pretty much exclusively been reading switch stories these past few years, so my perspective is limited and theres always a chance im missing something. So do take my word with a grain of salt
but yea no, compared to !-era the quality just. isnt really there. enstars was never perfect, but the stories felt consistent. each story felt like it meant something, even if its something small and slice-of-life-y. one thing ive always adored about the earlier stories is how interconnected everything felt. ive mentioned this before im sure, but i loved how certain stories would take place at the exact same time and if you read both stories you could see the overlap and how their paths cross. it was always so fun to read a story taking place at the same time as one centering your oshis, and then see them have a little cameo in this other one! like you uncovered a little easter egg of extra context!!! and this is a thing ive noticed lacking in !!-era
the big stories in !-era also felt like they actually carried weight. some stories would be over 40 chapters long just because akira had a story he wanted to tell. And this was greatly beneficial for the stories! because it meant the story could be written at a more logical pace. he didnt just rush through bullet points, he weaved a genuinely convincing story. and i feel like this is another factor the quality feels like its gone down so much. everything feels rushed now. a story will introduce a new conflict and resolve it within 15 chapters. it carries no weight but it tries to be groundbreaking and shocking. and nowadays they arent even conflicts that had been foreshadowed or anything. Honestly i think theyve forgotten about how powerful foreshadow can be altogether because they just Dont implement it anymore. at least when it comes to switch
i think the reason for this might have to do with there being so many different writers now. During !-era it was just akira writing the big hitters, and you'd have other writers do smaller, less consequential stories. but now i feel akira is running dry with things he can write, and it does feel like he wants to start distancing himself from the project. And this has resulted in other writers getting to take the spotlight. Which would be totally fine btw! but it feels like none of the writers really know what the others are writing???? and thats why you can feel like a story has a decent set-up only for literally nothing to come from it. thats why conflicts start and end within the same story. It completely breaks the illusion that these are complex characters with complex stories, because they just flatout dont give us convincing complexities anymore. Even if a character has healed from a large character arc, theyll now reintroduce that old drama because. Well it sold back then, so why not??
its so frustrating because i feel like even if enstars WAS to give me a decent story today, itd fall short on the basis that i Know this isnt going to matter like. at All. theyre gonna forget this ever even happened.
u should all know my opinion on Wish by now, but lets pretend for a second that its a good story and was greatly beneficial for the development of switchs relationship together. For the sake of argument. Since the release of this story their dynamic has not been changed WHATSOEVER. with natsume, theyve been DOUBLING DOWN on his insults towards tsumugi. he still mocks his hair and since he cant call him "fuzzy glasses" anymore, hes resorted to calling him "neat glasses"?????? and natsume seems to have gone back to being so fucking Rude, when at the beginning of the new era he had grown so sweet because he now genuinely trusts tsumugi. you give us this huge page turner only to undo literally all growth??? though frankly, it makes sense for the growth to be undone after a horrible decision like that
but you also have tsumugi who is the EXACT SAME AS HE WAS PRIOR. do note ive been distancing myself from the game for a little while now, and esp since after the release of wish, but i saw people on my TL post screenshots from stories with neo tsumugi in them where hes still as clumsy as he was, still neglecting to take care of himself, still overworking himself, and still leading this borderline self-destructive routine. theres been NO CHANGE. WISH CHANGED NOTHING BUT TSUMUGIS HAIR. these stories are only excuses to make grand changes. they dont even care about making it convincing or not anymore. they dont care about what comes after. They didnt think any of this through. i still cant get over them adding ibuki to aktk on a whim and now theres 2 aktk songs that are just never getting ingame MVs because they DIDNT THINK THIS DECISION THROUGH AT ALL.
and again. WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF TAKING SORAS SYNESTHESIA AWAY??????????????? i constantly see people trying to defend the tsumugi hair thing, but genuinely HOW can you think it was done with switchs best interest at heart when they TOOK SORAS NEUROLOGICAL CONDITION AWAY?????????????? how do you not see the absolute gutting of switch happening before your eyes???????? and dont even get me started on natsume. hes not safe from this either. But his deterioration is seen through his characterization rather than having literal features taken from him. hes being reduced to some pretty "femboy" and it pisses me off. he has so many complexities and is such a compelling character and hes WEIRD hes supposed to be WEIRD but theyre just. Hes being reduced to pretty guy. and it pisses me off because thats not what made me love him so much.
remember in thieves when switch were given a new secret room they could hang out in like in yumenosaki, where natsume could do his little experiments? remember how NOTHING CAME OF THIS AND NATSUME HASNT DONE A SINGLE EXPERIMENT AT ALL IN LITERAL YEARS???????? the prsk collab was unironically one of the sweetest things they couldve given us because it had the natsume i had grown to love, and it featured his newfound maturity since wonder game. It made me so incredibly happy to see and made me hopeful that maybe........ Maybe things will get back on track.
and then fucking wish dropped LMAO
#SORRY FOR THE ESSAY I FEEL LIKE ITS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO NOT WRITE ONE WHEN ASKED ABT THE STATE OF THE GAME#guy who has Soooo much to say#ask

ranson first meeting au and its set in one of those drug rehabs for young troubled adults. Randys mum found weed in his room before he could even smoke it and insisted she go to one of these things, and Bensons only there bevause he got caught in a scuffle with a cop then charged with possession , and his options in court were either serve time or complete a rehab and anger management program. The town only has *one* weekly rehab group for non severe offenders and it just so happens to be for "at risk youth"
Hes PISSED about being lumped in with these kids his attitudes all like "this is bullshit and weed isnt a problem + ive smoked weed longer than theyve been alive." but randy takes it SO seriously, hes basically in tears in the first meeting an hes only there because he THOUGHT about getting high.
idk it just popped into my brain as a fun idea that may sprout more scenarios
-🤓

BRO ‼️ you’re gonna have a write a fic with this because it’s great!!!!! i literally volunteer to help write/give ideas or even beta read,, i’m fr you have smth going here 🗣️
i can imagine randy smoking weed because hes read it helps your anxiety tho it only made his worse because he greened out & choked a shit ton lmao.. then he haphazardly hid it in a panicked state not even thinking about his moms daily room checks OR his mom checked his internet history about how weed can help your anxiety etc and he got ‘busted’
cut to the next day he’s begging his mom not to this facility but he’s dragged there anyway.. i can imagine everyone sitting in a circle and sharing their names and why they are they and benson just zeros in his attention on randy, trying to figure out with his intense staring how the fuck someone like randy could get sent to a place like this.. one randy shares his story some people laugh (because literally how can you not) but benson just continues to take him all in, analyzing everything about him before he gets called on..
i can just imagine the head person rubbing the rehab center assigns people ‘buddies’ to do certain activities or things like that and of course benson and randy get paired together.. benson is very stand-off ish and has the ‘i don’t need to be here’ attitude whereas randys taking everything seriously, giving benson puppy dog eyes because he really doesn’t want to get in anymore trouble than he already is in.. maybe they even discuss their perceived strengths and weaknesses at some point and benson just rams into randy, telling him how he shouldn’t be here and how he needs to cut contact with his mom, ‘man up’ etc etc and randy unexpectedly yells at benson,, telling him he doesn’t know what he’s talking about or what he’s been through and just because his life is miserable doesn’t mean he has to take it out on him (benson probably said smth abt randys mom being too touchy or overprotective and that made randy flip because if only benson knew what he had to deal with at home..)

hiii👋👋👋 can i ask how u view the dynamics in the spetsnaz group? if its not too much just how everyone views each other:) im curious w the random implications of bale n rodion hooking up
ohhh i love thinking about the spetsnaz dynamics. Maybe too much. Im writing this in google docs like its a dissertation. BUT theres like 5 ways to think about this either with my brain or with my dick im going to use my brain first. AKA from a minimalshipping pov:
this is something ive said a bunch of times but i rly do think they get along very well. EVEN nikto-minotaur which is strained bc there is a clash of personalities. I wont get into like introvert vs extrovert nikto bc nikto is a special case every interaction with him is like on a day by day basis affected by his mood and just how hes feeling about someone/social interaction in general that week. his competitive nature + his toxic masculinity which was made worse by his torture especially makes minotaur like a target for him a little bit (as ive said in this post). minotaur rly is like a mirror that can make nikto really uncomfortable. And nikto makes Minotaur uncomfortable (as said here) bc he really understands nikto is struggling and he sees it but its a lot to put on someone. + just the chaotic and unpredictable nature of it is lowkey scary to maxim. i think overall their relationship is strained, not close, but also not actively hostile. Minotaur strikes me as someone who is very compassionate and emotionally pretty competent (not perfect but better than nikto for sure) who does his best to stay out of niktos way. They could easily commiserate about suffering from alcoholism but it would be the most base level acknowledgement of them both facing similar issues with drinking to cope with sadness (i imagine that while minotaur never pries in nikto harming himself he would speak up about nikto drinking. He knows what a slippery slope relapse can be (pragmatic as well bc a pissed off drunk nikto would not be any fun.)).
Rodion would fucking love minotaur though.. Hes fun and hes got a LOT of stories hes got cute kids hes very openmindedd he really does NOT judge (is nikto jealous? yes) is bale jealous? Yknow it does sort of suck to see your twin be the blossoming flower everyone flocks to. And this would be something hes felt since they were young (shameless plug) buuuttt. Bale has a presence in spetsnaz hes got a story to him and people Do really like him. So as an adult bale is very confident in his job and who he is so while theres some underlying tension there, overall the jealousy is very minimal. Also. Obviously. Theyve had some drama.
Minotaur (obviously, as he feels responsible) Really took it hard that bale “died.” i always wonder how this occurred to him. Like if he feels guilty bc it was his idea to join the military, or if it was some miscommunication during the mission which got bale hurt, Or the most dramatic and rly my favorite option: that it was some friendly fire that got bale downed. And when did he leave? Was he told bale wasnt moving and had died and he ran? Did they have to leave bale and the strain of that made him run? He didnt know bale was alive for 10 years he hid from his family for 10 years. That is some extreme trauma to go through and then find out the thing you were beating yourself up over wasnt even true. And bale has spent the past 10 years regaining his ability to walk + existing outside of what gives him the most confidence. All with his brother missing ! im sure theres some mannerisms and thought processes that they didnt see in the other before that they see now. But theyre twins. Twins r weird and insanely close. Their relationship is maturing into a beautifuw brotherhood.
And speaking of brotherhood. bale and nikto have a lot of respect for each other: theyve both been thru periods of recovery for massive injuries, theyre very skilled, & neither one of them are big on talking. I feel like they probably had a very short adjustment period of working with each other bc they just sort of clicked. Bale is like not scared of nikto at all (BUT HE IS AWARE HE CAN BE A DANGER). he can read his warning signs, he doesn't get in his way arbitrarily, and they have rly similar senses of humor. I think it helps as well that nikto doesnt see him as a threat bc while i do figure bale is more of the leader of spets on paper in the field, hes not like diehard intense about it he listens to ideas hes flexible uhh and he trusts niktos judgement. Any of nikto’s Weird Shit is just Nikto’s shit and bale doesnt gaf and nikto likes that. I DO ALSO THINK.. Bale knows the most about nikto’s past like hes been told things by kamarov that are important to know. And nikto likes that he never holds any of that against him and doesnt try to spread it. Hes a very respectful man so nikto respects him.
And it is a bit of like.. Like nikto isnt going to respect minotaur bc even tho hes a very large, skilled, grown man hes also not like hypermacho which nikto would just see as weakness. Whereas bale is very much A Guy like hes just a dude. AND RODION.. Rodion is a babbyy bro thats a baby on the field.. None of them Are babying him (well. Minotaur might a little bit. Hes lowkey motherly imo) but they are all very aware hes like. New to this more serious side of combat. And hes the medic ! he has field medic training ! that shit is stressful ! but he handles it and hes very excited for everything and driven. they literally would all love rodion.. Truly the sunshine of the group. Him and minotaur would click like nikto and bale click. they would hype each other up soo much they would have so much fun. AND BALE ?? rodion would be so excited to be working with bale. When he meets bale and bale is genuinely a cool guy, Actually straight up a cool guy, he would become even more enamored with him. Star struck for a long time before they become real friends where rodion doesnt put him on a pedestal.
And of course……. Nikto to rodion.. Like minotaur, rodion would initially be scared of nikto. Rodion really isnt small hes like 5’10 decently muscled but nikto is like fucking huge.. And he just Looks mean and he Would look meanly at rodion at the start like rodion is hyper. He talks a lot. Their first meeting (esp w how he would instantly get along super well with minotaur) nikto just thinks of him as a smaller, younger minotaur he would not be interested. AND hes a baby nikto doesnt want to be a fucking babysitter.. But rodion is very smart and much more laid back than he lets on he can really calm himself down to match nikto’s level. Little bit of a social chameleon bc hes a very charming guy. Rodion like. He Likes to be Liked. Its important to him to be fun and likeable. So he will act accordingly around nikto he’ll quickly learn his body language and how to read his expressions. I think even if they didnt fuck rodion would earn nikto’s respect and he would stop being scared of him relatively quickly.
But yknow. I want them to fuck. So. Uh rodion changing his energy level to match nikto would sort of like signal to nikto that he can hit. Genuinely that’s the entire crux of what gets them started. Rodion is smaller than him, more submissive socially than him, cute, womanly (in the eyes of a misogynist); nikto wants to fuck him. Its like dudes who think cashiers are hitting on them bc they smiled at him. Hes LUCKY that he also happens to be rodions type. Rodion likes a challenge and nikto is a CHALLENGGEEE. Nikto is so resistant and rodion is so hardheaded its the perfect recipe for a tumultuous relationship which makes it so rewarding for rodion to rein it in.
U might think like. Well. he likes bale. Bale is normal. It would be easier to fuck and try to date bale and it would but again rodion likes a challenge. Bale is just like.. Too casual about it all. + the element of hero worship i think changes how rodion feels about it like he just expects a bit of fun out of bale a little extra to their friendship and thats exactly what he gets. And it Is a lot of fun bale’s a good fuck and so is rodion they have good times. It just doesnt have the same fun drama as nikto… But. it would also be easy for them to treat fucking rodion as a competition which i dont think rodion would like bc its a bit disrespectful to him as a person. Like hes not a prize. And he doesn’t think of them as the same. I need 2 explore this in a fic its why i want to write some bale/rodion/nikto.
And minotaur, in the middle of all of this, is just worried for rodion overall. I Do Think he would be surprised bale gets involved at all bc its a very rocky situation between nr and it seems like more drama than bale would enjoy. But it is a little bit of bale’s own sense of dominance peeking thru like he just cant help it its a dude thing an alpha dog thing.. That minotaur just doesnt get into bc he has confidence in himself. And its kind of scary to minotaur that rodion gets in the middle of it. Its kind of scary to him that if nikto has a meltdown of some sort rodion will probably be the closest to him physically and could easily take the brunt of an attack that he rly wouldnt be ready for. Nikto genuinely trying to hurt rodion would be really bad. Hes very brutal. And minotaur keeps that in mind. But yknow so does bale he likes to keep an eye on it. Might as well get his dick sucked too. Maybe bent over or bend rodion over at the same time.
And also why i wanted to write more for beg! It kind of got away from me and its a lot to express. As seen in this probably very confusing ummmm 1,800+ word answer to an ask on tumblr dot com. I have a lot of thoughts thank u for asking me about them :)c i hope u were ready for all this + the additional reading. i think as a whole they work together great they all just yknow. Have their ups and downs. They work a lot of shit out together…. And then Nikto goes AWOL. planned or not

yooouuuu wanna know what sounds really good rn? You writing silly, mundane headcanons of the matsuno bros. I've been trying to think up of shit to give you to make head canons about but all i got so far is silly icky food combos that theyve randomly eaten or just like. I feel like ichi and choro would have the worst. Ichi just bc he's lazy and it was what was lying around and the time and choro because a freak. I can see him eating a peanut butter and pickles sandwich.
Fav gross foods!
I got this ask and went through all the boys ages ago but tumblr hadn't saved my draft and I lost it. I'm finally returning to it and it may not be what I had before but by god I'm getting it done.
Osomatsu
Salted watermelon
Least ashamed (he has no shame)
He makes fun of the others for their picks though
Will insist on salt any time he eats watermelon, no matter the company
Will also violently insist on having anyone else try it
"See? It's great, right? What'd I say, it's the best!.. What do you mean you don't like it?"
Karamatsu
Wine with anchovies
Thought it's a classy cool thing to do, and then got hooked on it
It is not cool, he read the instructions wrong, and people give him weird looks
It doesn't help that he's just dipping the anchovies in the wine glass
When he figured out he was doing it wrong, he didn't fix it, but just got more secretive
Will be up at 2 am like a cryptid dipping anchovies in wine
Choromatsu
Cucumber in honey
"But it's healthy!"
Of course his would be the blandest option
Read online that it helps lower blood pressure and god knows he needs it
Though he gets made fun of the most, only because he tries so hard to defend himself
It makes him feel better that the crunch is so annoyingly loud for the others to deal with
Ichimatsu
Cat treats (freeze dried shrimp)
We've seen Ichi get pissed at Oso for eating something that he had bought for cats in the past; I think that'd be freeze dried shrimp
One day while feeding the cats he noticed he was hungry and got curious
And then he actually liked it, how awful
If anyone makes faces at him for it they swiftly move along when he looks like he'll kill them.
Sometimes esp kitty will shove one in his mouth when he seems to be stewing for too long
Jyushimatsu
Peanutbutter ramen
I mean, there is peanut sauces, but Jyushi hardly has the patience to make the whole thing
It's even worse when he forgets to drain the water and it's just watered down peanutbutter
Let's not mention that he likes the noodles on the harder side
Lemme also add here that sometimes he'll just eat the ramen dry with the flavor packet poured in the bag
This is probably his least odd combo, if we're honest.
Todomatsu
Dipping fries in strawberry ice cream
Saw a post about it and tried it for himself; though usually in those posts it was vanilla or chocolate
He can't abandon his brand though
Personally, he likes how the tangy or occasionally sour flavor mixes with the salt on fries
He also likes bar fries with ice cream, which is where it gets more questionable
I'm talkin paprika or cayenne pepper; others end up coughing and then choking on ice cream while he looks as sweet as a peach

Wow two of these in one day?? Man who would’ve thought. Anyways, this isn’t rlly I question but I js wanna point out something that’s been stuck in my head and I can’t get it out (you don’t gotta reply to this, I js felt like typing this out and appreciating your writing)
"We'll beat him there, no doubt. And then, we'll defeat Anansi”- LB
Yeah. We'll save Nora.- PN
I really REALLY love how these two things show so easily about how PN and LB think about akumas and handling them.
Ladybug sees them as victims of Hawkmoth, of course, but I also feel like she sees them as a different entity than the person who was akumatized. We already know she kinda has a white and black view of villain & heroes & stuff like that but I also feel like she separates the akuma from the akumatized person. She sees the akuma as someone to defeat and doesn’t see the akumatized person as someone that should be comforted
Meanwhile, imo, Panthera sees the akumatized person and akuma as the same entity, it’s just that the akuma is a sorta more exasperated version of the victims feelings (like Lady Wifi’s obsession with unmasking LB is an extreme version of Alya wanting to see who’s behind the mask, Princess Fragrance playing out Rose’s fairyland thinking that she has, etc). She doesn’t she the akuma just as someone to defeat, she sees the akuma as the victims problems (& sometimes flaws) taking form in a more extreme manner, and that shows her what the problem the victims have are so that she can help fix it with her Therapy Cat™️ talks
Again, I js felt like typing this out because it has been in the back of my head for a while, and I just love how you show LB & PN different views when it comes to superhero work with just 2 sentences. That’s all, I think I’m done nerding out now— have a good day Cap!
Its very fun to do the dichotomy but I think I worry Im making Ladybug seem more heartless than she is.
She's Marinette, and Marinette HAS comforted people- but she also cant comfort Every Single One especially because Marinette is so Busy- and she isn't comforting the villain usually just the person After theyve been cured.
So many of her plots is her eating more than she can chew, and then scrambling away after the akuma to finally finish her task.
Sooo yes no youre right yeah! She kinda sees it as a bit fruitless to try and talk an already akumatized person out of their thing, she'll still try, but when she tries, its more like shes trying to distract them.
But uhhh yeah!! Lots of fun! With how they think differently! Sorry this reaction is quite all over the place

Fierrochase headcanons.Pls gimme
oh hells yes. cracking my knuckles as we speak
both of them are way into comics (and also went to watch itsv and atsv together in cinemas as a date) i think magnus is probably more into xmen while alex likes a variety of specific characters from both dc and marvel, mostly spiderman variants.
its canon that theyre both into novels and reading and i just think the idea of sharing books with someone is sooo personal and sweet. i like to imagine that even though valhalla gives them infinite books they have shared copies of their favourites that theyve both annotated and highlighted in different colours (alex in green and pink and magnus in yellow obv) so that they can reread and add stuff at anytime its really cute
magnus starts to develop an interest in stop motion which alex helps him with, and she has so many photos of him mid-concentrating on his work saved onto her phone.
alex is deffo a tumblr boygirl and magnus initially agrees to make a profile so that alex can @ him in random posts he finds but then he becomes very interested in that very specific niche of like Wizard Posting and it consumes his whole account within a month
alex is audhd and magnus has autism (this is pretty much canon like his whole thing about needing a bedroom to be 'no frills' to sleep comfortably and having a very specific favourite food-- idk it just makes sense to me) + ptsd
they share an acnh island with very meticulous aesthetics. magnus mainly handles the island layout and alex handles their house interior its a whole system
adding onto that, alex once built a massive maze across the entire island and trapped magnus inside unless he answered her 'riddles three', which has become a standard hazing ritual if anyone else ever plays with them, and each time the riddle is stupider and stupider
alex loves writing on sticky notes and just putting them Everywhere. he'll do stuff like 'good morning :p' and put it on magnus' forehead while he sleeps or see a random piece of paper magnus left out and leave her own commentary or random doodles on it and magnus has started a collection of his favourites.
(alex does this for everybody, but uses pink for magnus specifically and green for everything else <3)
boardgame fiends. alex is really good at strategy and magnus is a talent at reading people. the rest of floor 19 are incredibly competitive and theres a rule that prohibits them from teaming up unless blitzen and hearthstone are there because THEY just end up dominating anyway and alex and magnus have to even the playing field.
alex cutting magnus' hair becomes a regular thing and even though she makes fun of him for it she also insists on doing it everytime and he just likes it because its Alex :))
magnus is the king of using inappropriate emojis and/or misunderstanding what they mean and alex loves emoticons (which magnus doesnt understand in the slightly because he cant not see them as like colon open bracket)
both of them wake up unreasonably early, which always works out for them and literally nobody else (theyre very noisy morning people) and magnus falls asleep very easily like a cat in a sunbeam, which alex thinks is adorable
magnus is always showing alex skirts or tshirts or something similar like 'this would look really nice on you :)))' because he loves alex and is a chronic complementor and also he means it every single time
those are all the ones ive got off the top of my head, my sweeties <33 its been so long since ive read the magnus chase books i miss them both so much aughhh alex fierro come HOME!! thank you for this ask i would die for both of these guys

aita for not inviting a friend of mine into my dnd campaign?
so i (18nb) have a friend (18nb, Martin) who i play in a main dnd campaign with with all our other friends (Ill name them Dan, Virgil, Mark, and Ray). Dan is our DM after we kicked out the old one bc she was horrible. We're a pretty close group of friends, but lately we've all been really busy with respective school & work, ect. so we didnt play dnd for a solid, like,, 4 months. I DMed a one shot for everyone besides Ray cause she was flaky anyway, and added in my boyfriend Zeke for it.
Everyone had a really fun time w it and I loved everyones characters, especially Dan's. I watch a lot of dnd shows, so i just keep getting more ideas- but while the one shot was fun it was messy as hell. Ive been wanting to write a campaign for a smaller group for a while, (because when i tried making a campaign with the whole group the character creations were... disappointing to say the least. this sounds mean but i created a fairy world that was very magical & told everyone to go crazy on character creation in a world with few/no humans, and like 5/6 people opted to be a human with a fighting class :/ )
ive been writing a campaign that im really proud of and have a good vision for, and decided to include Mark (because we're best friends) Zeke (because he wants to play dnd more and has no opportunities) Dan (bc he never gets to be a player) and then another close friend of mine outside the group named Gabe (who i love but never get to see) I love their characters & we're all super excited.
Thing is. I was briefly talking with Dan, Zeke and Mark about it at school bc I'd sent everyone a little intro message for the world and they were all super excited and wanted to talk to me about their classes. Virgil had no problem with this and was excitedly asking abt the world + characters along with some other friends from school, but Martin got quiet and went and sat by himself. I could tell they were off, but Martin is generally a quiet person anyway and is often sad + doesnt want to talk for like a hundred different reasons, so i left her alone. Later that day in a different class I have with Virgil he showed me his phone where Martin had sent him a message saying she was really disappointed & felt left out that i hadnt invited them to my campaign.
i instantly felt bad and started to text him, but,,,, to be honest, i dont think im at all responsible for this.
i have reasons for leaving Martin out, the main one being that they just..... arent a very active player. Hes soft spoken and doesnt actually like rping their characters- her character in our main campaign is/was literally mute bc they said they didnt want to have to speak as him. (theyve since taken this back and went through with a curse breaking thing to be able to speak, but her character,,, still doesnt talk much.) he writes really good, sad backstories but doesnt actually play or do anything with them and gets uncomfortable acting. Their characters are not only emotional, but like. crazy. they play a bunch of cool tieflings with insane magic classes & features and then, again,,,, dont roleplay them. I didnt want the group to be big and had a good reason for including everyone that i did, and our other friends that arent in it (Virgil, Ray who is Martins sister btw, all our other d&d interested friends at school) literally dont mind at all. i just wrote a campaign that theyre not in. Martin also has their feelings hurt very easily, so to be honest i just find her being sad about not being in it just... stupid. id never say that to his face & i get that he feels bad, but like....cmon.
im aware im a very very incredibly low empathy person- to be honest i struggle with depression and bpd very heavily and am often mean to my friends & loved ones without really processing why or how much it affects them. i told Virgil that i thought Martins reaction was stupid, and he said that that wasnt fair bc Martin had always been in my campaigns before (which is, yknow, one. Martin and I were even in a campaign with a completely different group a while back and Martin willingly left it very early because the group was loud & their character wasnt doing anything (yeah)). Every time Martins expressed (or i guess not expressed) sorrow for not being invited to it ive just sort of ignored them. this again isnt that uncommon cuz when shes sad he doesnt like to talk about it, and also they havent directly confronted me with this at all.
ive been talking about the campaign a lot because it occupies frankly a lot of my brain because i have so much to write, and i especially talk to the people that arent in it bc theres no risk of slipping up and telling them something they arent supposed to know. The other friend, Gabe, is friends with Zeke and Mark and I, and Dan is good around new people,, but Martins really quiet around people he doesnt know well, so if i invited her anyway they'd probably play the game even less than they already do.
again, im really bad at having an actual perspecitve on this. Virgil said he feels bad for Martin but not for himself, as far as i know Dan doesnt know about the situation, and i literally just dont wanna involve Mark and Zeke (Zeke HATES conflict and when people fight so he really doesnt have to be involved.) Mark Martin and I have all been really close friends since literally 7th grade and I guess Martin especially feels left out that I involved Mark and not them but Marks both really good at character creation and also talking in character, and like, hes my best friend who i do everything with.
I dont wanna blow off Martins emotions but but i truly dont give a shit that they feel betrayed by my not inviting him. especially because they havent bothered actually telling me this. objectively i dont think its my fault even a little, and Martin is really horrible at handling their emotions anyway (this isnt an insult, just a fact. i am too). aita for not inviting him + not caring that shes upset by it and acting like they arent?
sorry this is so long i really like providing context
What are these acronyms?

TADC cast x supportive!reader (platonic)
except its hyper specific and applies to my oc specifically because i need a little pick me up today reader is like the circus members anchor as well as a generally serving as a support system and has been in the circus for a while. havent decided on how long but definitely getting close to kinger in terms of how long theyve been stuck. kind of gives off dad energy have not shared the oc here on this blog but i have shared them elsewhere, wont say where because im embarrassed </3 this was originally gonna be a ship chart dynamic but im too tired to draw everyone plus this feels more fun using 'you/your' pronouns for the reader even though its an oc so you guys can at least like, insert yourself REMINDER requests are closed, this is a personal request from myself. any requests sent now will not be answered even after they reopen. please respect that and understand that requests are closed
CAINE:
saved caine for last (yes i know hes the first one in the list hush i dont actually write these in order) i think you and him would have friendly back and forth banter. youve accepted your place in the digital circus long ago so you dont see much point in trying to interrogate him for information on a possible exit. and sure, i dont know if caine can abstract, but i think he enjoys the conversations between the two of you... that said, given how accepting you are with everything as well as having a "roll with it" outlook on the digital world, he probably uses you as plot stuff and props for IHA; be it as a false hostage or as a means to progress the adventure... definitely has a soft spot for you, i think... jax and bubble have a dark bet on when you will finally abstract/j
RAGATHA:
ah yes the optimistic duo, the hopeful pals, the sillies. you two are probably the main reason why everyone else is... mostly... fine, i mean i think having someone be so friendly and open cane make things a little easier for other people. as well as this you two mutually lean on each other for support and uplift one another when things get tough. i mention it in kingers part, but you too are also afraid of bugs but you would help ragatha clear her room of centipedes in a heartbeat, even going as far as to collect them with your bare hands.. so uh... take that as a testament to yalls friendship
JAX:
now im a little stumped on this one because i really dont think the "reader" would be buddy buddy with jax... or maybe they would be... hmm.. on one hand i can see them scolding him for pushing his pranks 'too far' (ex. the ragatha centipede thing, assuming he actually did it), but i can also see a "supportive figure and rebellious kid" dynamic. except jax isnt a kid but you are old enough be his dad, probably.. i think ill just leave that here since i dont have any other ideas
POMNI:
youve been here for a while, so i think naturally pomni would gravitate towards you in order for possible solutions and escape routes, perhaps she would approach kinger, too... but this isnt about kinger </3. fine line between outright shattering their hope but also instilling it, neither are great options... one can lead to despair and the other to obsession; both will lead to abstraction... but theres also the fact none of your past attempts at escape had been successful, nor did you ever find any leads. as for actual potential friendship i think you would take the same route as ragatha in the pilot; show her around and explain things to her in a fairly digestible way. as well as this you tend to gravitate towards her during her first IHA until she gets the hang of them; typically making sure she doesnt get lost or hurt, as well as giving her pointers that could help with the task at hand
KINGER:
writing kinger first, you guys are like the dads of the circus. you more so because you still have a decent hold of yourself. you were there when queener/queenie abstracted, and you were there for kinger during the still on going grieving process. as for actually friendship ideas, you two just sit and talk to one another. thats it, really. i could go on about all the things you two do together, and i probably would since kinger is my favorite and this post is literally about my oc... but i truly dont see these two getting up to anything insane outside of IHA. kinger needs someone to help him fill the silence, and you would be there. and vice versa, i think... bonus, you dont like bugs but you still grin and bare it while listening to kinger rattle on about his cool bug facts... i think that would be nice..
ZOOBLE:
optimistic dad who likes fishing and moody teen who bullies kids on roblox. thats literally the dynamic, except again, zooble is an adult and the reader has no kids... but hey its the same energy. tries to get zooble to engage with IHA but not in a pushy way but more in like... an inviting them to pair with them for comfort and security kind of way. sure you understand that they dont like them because theyre just so over everything but you want them to be included, especially since the IHA are meant to stimulate your minds and keep you guys grounded
GANGLE:
honestly i think you just adopt half of the cast at this point, the only people who arent your kids are ragatha caine and kinger... everyone else gets passed around in split custody/j now onto gangle, you probably try to give her peptalks to make her feel better as well as fixing her comedy mask anytime it breaks. as well as this i think you and her sit down and do arts n crafts together, perhaps even making new masks altogether... i like to think gangle hears a few... things about the others and knows things since shes so quiet and in the background so theres definitely some 'gossip' between the two of you... but not in a shit talking way, no i dont think either of you are like that, rather more so just talking about the others
BONUS STUFF:
you call gangle, zooble, jax, and pomni generic 'dad nicknames' so like. think sport, champ, bud, pal. stuff like that, with varying reactions... i think gangle wouldnt fight it and actually appreciates it. zooble scoffs and rolls their eyes, jax plays into it while loudly and obnoxiously calling you dad. (whenever you ask him to do something he loudly goes like "okay DAAAAAAD" before likely not doing the thing that was asked of him), pomni is just confused really since shes not all that used to it. huh. guess youre a dad of 4 now
you and ragatha tend to clean up after the others, leaving you two alone and you guys just. talk as you clean. probably do impressions of the others in a really comical and dramatic as well as exchanging stories
you and kinger hunt for new pillows to add to his fort. you try to coax him into stepping out of the tent and explore the grounds, so far you're unsuccessful
touching on the gossip thing from gangles part caine probably tries to ask you for some "juicy drama" about the others. who is having issues with her, whos crushing on who, stuff like that... i think caine would try to play matchmaker if there actually is someone who has a crush on someone else... this goes for the current cast as well as those who have come and gone from the digital circus (cough cough abstracted)

I have blurb idea for the kids in season one when you have time for it. In season one after bug left with Nancy and Jonathan the kids debriefing on what they just saw. Which is basically just the kids gossiping about what they think is going on between the three. Like Mike asked Nancy if she liked Jonathan now so clearly he saw something going on ya know?
anon i LOVE this one its always so fun writing the kids gossiping about the teens <333
enjoy !
"whats going on with your sister and jonathan, man?" lucas asks your brother as they watch you run out of the schools gym after jonathan and nancy.
dustin sighs and rests his head against the bleachers. "i dont know. theyve been weird all week."
"i think it has something to do with my sister?" mike joins in on the conversation now. "i asked nancy if she liked jonathan and then she got all weird."
"why would she like him if shes with harrington and y/n is with jonathan?" lucas frowns now, feeling suddenly defensive over you. "do we need to do something?"
mike hits his friend with the back of his head. "no, doofus. y/n doesnt need you to fight for her weird honor."
"well, i mean, maybe she does-"
dustin slaps a hand over lucas' mouth with a disgusted look on his face. "dude. your crush on my sister is showing and its gross."
lucas yanks dustins hand away and shrieks. "i do not have a crush on y/n!"
mike and dustin share a look with one another as el, who has been quiet this entire conversation as she rests, lets out a weak giggle. during her few days observing you with the party, its obvious even to her that lucas has a slight crush on you.
seeing everyones disbelief, lucas throws his hands up in the air and groans. "look, this isnt about me! clearly theres something wrong between jonathan and y/n, and if theyre fighting then that means we wont be able to get free rides out of them anymore."
"why wouldnt we get free rides if theyre fighting?" dustin asks, furrowing his brows in confusion.
"because jonathan has his own car and we'd be taking y/n's side," mike says as if it's the most obvious thing in the world with an eye roll. "duh."
your brother feels a certain happiness at the knowledge that his friends would take your side against jonathans. and, even though will isnt here right now, they all know that he would also ditch his brother in a heartbeat for you.
all the kids would.
youre a part of the party.
the boys eat the cookies that you made for them in silence for a while as they think about the strangeness between you and jonathan tonight. while theyre more than willing to defend you and take your side, they cant help but be worried about it.
theyve never seen you and jonathan so off kilter before, and it frightens them to even consider the idea that the connection between you two could be severed.
"theyll be okay, right?" lucas finally voices the worries that they all have quietly sat with.
dustin sighs, also unsure himself. hes grown up watching the two of you become intertwined with one another. now, he watches as you slowly unravel, and hes not sure how it will end. "its y/n and jonathan we're talking about. of course theyll be okay... they-they have to be okay."
"well thats depressing." mike says with yet another eye roll. "why cant we just keep y/n and replace jonathan with someone else?"
"careful, mike." lucas leans in close to the boy now and puckers his lips and makes kissing noises. "nancy could replace harrington with jonathan."
"yuck!" mike shoves his friend away and looks towards dustin for help. "that wont happen, right?"
dustin frowns. for once, he really isnt sure. he saw nancy and jonathan earlier, how they almost left you behind tonight, and he saw the hurt in your eyes when you watched them together. theres feelings there between the three of you, and dustin is afraid for you. its obvious to everyone how much you adore jonathan; your entire world revolves around the guy.
with a sigh, dustin shakes his head. "no idea, man. i dont understand teenagers."
"no one does." lucas rests his head in his hand and chews sadly on his cookie. then, with poorly hidden curiosity, he asks, "my crush on y/n isnt that obvious, right? like, she has no idea?"
mike and dustin again share a look and shake their heads at their friend while el lifts her head up. with all the energy she has left in her, she responds to lucas. "friends dont lie."
lucas covers his face in embarrassment and groans as mike, el, and dustin all break into laughter.

if you’re still having rooster thoughts romantic style how do you think they get together lol
IM GKAD YOU ASKED ANON okay so you can interpret it as bicci never get together if you want but in my head bicci are a thing currently since thats how the rooster/biccondi timeline works on my head. yes biccindi. the ark polycule is real.
so i think at the same time rowans questioning his sexuality, lister is questioning his gender. rowan finds that out because his skirts and stuff keep going missing, turns out listers playing dress to impress because why would he buy his own stuff when you can just steal your friends behind his back ? anyway rowan is glad to yap about more feminine fashion to lister and help him style stuff, esp since he doesnt get to talk about that with jimmy and bliss doesnt seem like the type of girl to be too into fashion either. they get to bond a lot over it like its a just them thing which they didnt really have before.
blah blah blah , rowan thinks hes slowly developing a bit of a crush on lister, has no idea what this means, hed have no issues with himself liking someone other than a women, its just the fact that its lister. why the fuck would he have the hots for lister. who knows, romanve is weird let it be weird. but whats worse than that is that lister is already dating jimmy, theyve been together for a while (they were probs on and off and on and off until eventually they do settle and be Normal) and hes convinced hes a horrible best friends for doing this to jimmy. even though technically he hasnt done anything bevause hes never acted on these feelings.
lister is having similar thoughts at the same time, but feeling like an awful partner instead. potential for a lot of guilt related to how hes proceived as a bit of a manwhore to a lot of people too.
anyway jimmys sus, hes getting a vibe and he wouldve thought hed be more jealous since he has been a bit in the past, but hes just. not. but he starts asking stuff anyway, gets it out of rowan first and hes like cool. anyways. i imagine when he talks to lister about it hes like "hey what do you think of rowan? do you think hes attractive?" and all that. and listers like holy shit my boyfriend thinks im a whore and he hates me and im awful. but jimmy is again chill with it. i also think lister uses this conversation to talk about how hes questionng gender at the same time (i personallyhc him as genderfluid because why not, its fun.) after those conversations jimmy is playing wingman for his boyfriend and his bestfriend and its just stupid and silly and sweet.
i dont think jimmy has any attraction to rowan, and vise versa. they just share a boygirlfriend and are chill about it.
anyway yeah thats my rooster timeline, its existed in my hwad for like 3 years, glad to get it out there. i would write a fic but i have 1000 ideas already so if i was going to itd be a while. but yeah ^_^
#iwbft#lister bird#jimmy kaga ricci#rowan omondi#bicci#rooster#biccondi#osemanverse#i was born for this#and if i said lister bird spitroasting what then#man i love free speech#i am extremely tired and unwell rn btw

All right I take the bait. Why do you believe Manel should have accompanied Pacifica at the party
AHHH THANK YOU IM SO EXCITED TO EXPLAIN MYSELF (in reference to this post)
ok. northwest mansion mystery is a great episode obviously. but HERES why i think the episode would've been even better if mabel was in dippers spot!!!!!! its kinda a lot so i put it under a read more
so this episode is sort of the middle-ish of season 2 i think, right before the ford reveal!! its not a super long show anyway so theres not a ton of pacifica appearances, anyway. BUT in EVERY SINGLE OTHER PACIFICA EPISODE, her energy has been bouncing off of mabel!!! from their meeting in double dipper, to irrational treasure, to golf war; they have been established as the main dynamic here. golf war is especially important here, because this is the very first step in pacfica's redemption arc! mabel saves her in this episode, the pines give her a ride home, and it seems like pacifica is going to start being a little more understanding of mabel because she had misjudged her, hence why she was treating her so poorly. it looks like theyre gonna establish a friendship between them!
and then. they dont. they basically never interact again. because the next time we see pacifica, she goes straight to dipper in northwest manor mystery. the cold open implies that the northwests wanted dipper specifically because of his knowlege of how to deal with the supernatural but IN MY OPINION that DOESNT EVEN MAKE SENSE because we NEVER see dipper fighting these monsters on his own? hes ALWAYS with mabel. at the very least, i think it shouldve been BOTH of them??? we see a brief shot of a newspaper clipping where dipper is fighting a vampire bat or something and i just. when did this happen. where is mabel
that would be a fine argument for it being both of them instead of just mabel so heres one of my bigger points thats gonna come back a lot in this breakdown: dipper. does not like pacifica. he STRAIGHT UP HATES HER. every single interaction theyve had has been negative!!! its even massively negative at the beginning of this ep!!!! though mabel often dislikes pacifica, she TRIES REALLY HARD TO LIKE HER. mabel has a lot of love in her heart, and if she could, shed want to be her friend!!! its always been pacifica whos been rejecting those advances!!! golf war was the start of pacifica understanding that about mabel, and it nmm wouldve been the PERFECT time to wrap up that arc, rather than leaving it!!!
and i would argue that could STILL LEAD INTO A DIPCIFICA ARC, if thats what the showrunners/fans wanted? most of why dipper hates pacifica to begin with is because shes so terrible to mabel. he only agrees to go to the party in canon because MABEL wants to!!! imo, i think the lead in to them being a couple would be a million times better if that massive problem in their relationship was solved first
i dont PERSONALLY like dipcifica but im trying to stay unbiased about this if you cant tell
i would also argue that like. dipper just seems really out of character. the reason i picked some of the scenes i did for my redraws, was because they were scenes that i think his behavior would fit mabel a lot better. examples:
why do the northwests have a suit in dippers size anyway. he literally doesnt even like wearing it sjkfhkj in a potential re-write of this ep, i considered that mabel would come in wearing her super extravagent home made dress, and it would 'violate dress code', so she would be forced to wear one of pacificas we could still have that cute dress-up expo scene that we do AND have some fun commentary/symbolism about pacifica being nervous about having her in the dress because its NICE and TOO GOOD FOR HER and she looked FINE BEFORE ANYWAY
mabels empathy is a recurring theme in the show. shed WANT to give pacifica the benefit of the doubt, and would be VERY betrayed when finding out her and her family already knew about the ghosts and knew what he wanted. i understand that dipper was so upset because it seemed like pacifica was changing for the better just to find out that she wasnt, but i think this fits so much better with mabel, because shes always WANTED to believe that shes secretly a good person. she would be glad to see her turn a corner, and would be upset when finding out she was 'wrong', and that she really was mean deep down. whcih would obviously lead to her comforting her later/finding out the truth about her etc etc. on the other hand, dipper literally never believed she had good in her. from the first interaction we see of them, he thinks shes as terrible as her family. he ISNT as interested in giving her the benefit of the doubt and if it wasnt a life or death situation i dont think he wouldve forgiven her. IDK i just think its more in character for her
the dancing scene!!! honestly this works fine as is (i can see both dipper and mabel being excited to make a mess on a fancy carptet) but idk i just think it carries so much more weight if its these two girls. silly moments for mabel!!!! pacifica getting to really be a kid and not just a sparkly prop!!!!!!! pacifica finally indulging in her sillyness that she mocked in irrational treasure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok moving on. one of the bigger things that bother me about it being dipper here instead of mabel is one teeny tiny (honestly really irrational) scene at the party. in it, dipper is confronted by fiddleford, who tells him he has big news about the author/the laptop and the towns in danger and its vitally important and dipper just. shrugs him off???!!?!?!?! i cannot even IMAGINE. in alex hirschs words "the first season is about dipper being in love with wendy, and the second is about him being in love with the author" meaning that. those are the TWO things that dipper is completely and totally obsessed with. hes clearly not over wendy (as we see in later episodes) and this is not long after sock opera/society of the blind eye so youd THINK hed be more depserate for answers than ever!??!?! this child was willing to sell out his great uncle and raise the dead and stay up for several nights in a row for answers, and the second he is offered some (from a man who WORKED WITH THE AUTHOR btw) hes like like 'whatevr'?!?!?! it is so out of character and it drives me fucking nuts every time. i know hes starting to like pacifica now but as we see in the comics (if you chose to think those are canon) HE DOESNT EVEN SEEM TO LIKE HER THAT MUCH!??!?! hes STILL convinced shes vain, and mean, and selfish!!!! he DOES start to have a little arc with her but jksdfjksf IDK i just cant in a million years see him passing up the chance for answers to the biggest mystery in gravity falls to hang out with a girl he tolerates
but yknow who i CAN see doing that? MABEL!!!!!!!! mabel would be concerned when mcgucket comes up to her, and starts talking like this!!!! i can totally see her suggesting that he relax for a little while and enjoy the party like dipper did, and then forgetting to come back to talk/not running into him later!!!! ESPECIALLY since i can see mabel WANTING to spend time with pacifica where dipper just. really doesnt seem to want to MOST of the time
ok ill admit that this last one is sort of a personal opinion. but i just. i really dont like the B plot of this episode with mabel and the girls. IDK its just so annoying and pointless to me to have a plot where its just a bunch of girls turning against each other over a guy. im not gonna say its mysoginistic bc i know little girls can be boy crazy but i just. dont see why there was a need to make them fight/turn against grenda briefly??? even when they rekindled and it was all ok in the end its just. in comparison to the A plot its so. Nothing.
in my head i have a rewrite of this episode and how it goes is that pacifica approaches dipper and asks for help and he turns it down (like he does in canon). mabel suggests that they do it anyway, but he refuses, as he wants nothing to do with her. when dippers gone, mabel agrees to help (and pacifica begrudgingly accepts bc it seems like the only option) and so she steals the journal when dippers not looking. she goes to the party, and events go pretty much the same?? only major difference i can think of is that the B plot is replaced by one where dipper realizes mabel and the journal are missing, so he sneaks into the manor/sneaks around the house trying to find he rand get it back (and its so massive he has no luck). the reason i think THAT works is because we can even still have the scene where dipper turns to wood like shifty prophesied!!!! and i would even argue it makes more sense this way because wasnt shiftys warning that "if you keep digging so deep into the secrets of gravity falls, this will be the last form youll ever take" ?
OK IM SORRY THIS WAS SO LONG im probably forgetting points too so i might edit it later but THANKS FOR ASKING
tldr: pacifica and mabels friendship plotline was left on a total cliffhanger after golf war and if mabel replaced dipper in nmm it would've been a good resolution to it
edit: check the reblogs if youre still interested! i added another list of reasons i think this (mostly in response to people disagreeing)
#Gravity Falls#gravity falls analysis#gravity falls essay#mabel pines#pacifica northwest#northwest mansion mystery#northwest manor mystery#gravity falls nmm#nmm#mabcifica#mabifica#i wanna add that. it is fine if you like dipifica SJHKDFJHKDLS I KNOW ITS CANON i personally Do Not Get It but to each their own#but also while saying that i want to add that . im not trying to argue that mabcifica should be canon#in fact i do not think it should be#when i say i think mabel should be in this episode i am specefically saying that it doesnt NEED romantic undertones to be good#they can jut be buddies#cloudysrants#northwest mansion mabel au

Thinking about marilynxreader nursing kink… like, it’s there subtextually which is amazing but imagine reader actually being confronted with the idea of it. How would she react?? I KNOW she would fold so fast if Mari made fun of her for it, and reader would eventually be cool with it, but what’s her thought process like when she has an absent thought of “I wanna nurse from Mari like she’s my mommy” and then just freezes and is like “oh”
okay im actually genuinely convinced yall have a 6th sense when it comes to me writing the fic or a prompt bc im LITERALLY writing a oneshot to do with readers oral fixation/nursing kink in eat your young and im adding it to the series....😳based on this persons anon:
you guys are insaneeeee. anyways it was going to be just that, a oneshot on tumblr, but ive decided to make it a fully fledged out oneshot fic ill post to ao3 (bc of the recent development of "you dont need a mother, not when im right here") and i will be posting it very soon!
soooo in saying that, slight spoiler for the fic ill be posting: the first time it happens, marilyn is so loving SO doting and Mommy abt it and its the most healing sacred act theyve done next to like, killing tyler. the second time it happens marilyn allows herself to be mean now that she knows reader wants this and aches for it <33 so like. yes she has that realisation of "oh fuck. i wanna nurse from her" but its always been subconscious, reader doesnt realise how bad she yearns for it until shes really emotionally vulnerable and she falls into the comfort like it was a part of her. but as always, theyre so fucking weird and freaky and crazy abt it <3
#asks#marilyn thornhill x reader#marilyn thornhill#marilyn thornhill x fem reader#wednesday netflix#laurel gates x reader#eat your young#it actually floors me the timing of this ask anon skdfkdfk

Re: dess thoughts
If dess HADNT disappeared then im thinking about how Much headbutting she'd do with asriel over kris' species!! Esp as you've said in your canon she's Kris' main defender for not being a human
Also, thinking about weird route kris and how VIOLENTLY they react when you make them hurt noelle and how that intersects with dess viewing them as a dangerous wild animal in The Holiday-Dreemur kids series, with Kris being maybe unable to communicate to a back Dess that it isn't THEM its the PLAYER
oh dess would be in the pit fistfighting asriel over this for SURE. especially bc the mark between kris's species identity being easy for them and it becoming something they struggle with (basically the difference between not knowing and knowing they're biologically human) happens right around when she leaves--so, if shes still AROUND, then, yeah, she'll be getting IN IT lol. kris would probably have a few less struggles with dess still around--to an extent they will still struggle (theyve got a lot of baggage around not being good enough to be a monster) but truly having even one supporter helps a LOT, especially when said supporter is literally the coolest person you know.
AND MAN. YEAH....realistically if dess doesnt vanish there is no Plot of deltarune (rn im partial to the theory that kris only accepted the soul in order to get dess back, so if shes around, no reason to really do that) but assuming it all still happens it would be. uh. REALLY bad for everyone involved!!! if dess finds out its so over for kris and i dont even think they'd try to defend themself. it was still their body who did that. post c4 weird route i sorta see kris as being so disassociated from whats going on they just. arent really there anymore. its safer that way.
one thing i WILL say tho is in everything i write the distinction i draw between kris and the soul is that the soul is 100% human and thus acts as such, while kris isn't human and doesn't bother acting like they are. a lot of this manifests in expressing themself via canine body language--its a really clear way to sorta tell apart who is who, bc the soul would never do that. so dess probably could tell them apart, eventually, but i think it would be too late lol.
not fun for everyone involved!!! i think dess staying is soooo fun to think about literally the entire reason drk exists is bc once i wrote a 'dess stays a bit longer' au in which when she DOES leave she takes kris with her and truly there is No winning for them. real fun to write tho!!! theres a reason its an idea thats been in my head since like, 2022. oh god drk is like three years old.
