yay word game Wednesday!

Elder Scrolls: Garrett from Thief vs Essara Corrienne, Former Grey Fox

[The Luggage] had seemed happy to have a companion once again (a living one, anyway) and followed her anywhere she went and happily stored her stolen and plundered goods with no sign of encumbrance. She patted its lid fondly and it whirred happily in response. “Not freezing to the deck there, are you, Lugs?”

DQB1: A Different "Bad Ending" (mc x Dragonlord)

He wouldn't want half the world, but what if they could work together to restore balance? Valerius had seen the way humans had expanded across the land, pushing monsters out of their ancestral homes and to the unwanted edges of the landscape where anyone could scarce survive.

I'm too embarrassed to say the fandom but here:

He started a bit when he realised the store was already looming ahead of him. A small child left with his mother, laughing about a flying wooden plane tied to his hand with a string, and Emile smiled as he stepped aside to let them pass.

RvB: Love is Stored in the Worms

Scully had gone to the little candy store in the mall and picked him out 50 green gummy worms from the bin. Murphy hugs him, startling him and Zach. Murphy's not really a hugger. But this is really sweet and he's too overwhelmed to say anything.

RvB: Food Service Hell AU#4

"Look I don't wanna air the laundry out in the store," Leonard says, glancing around. "We're both off tonight so if you wanna come by we can talk this over."

North smiled. "Sure."

RvB: Shrapnel

Andy checks on the stack of body bags stored in the back of the freezer, and notes he and Styx still have airlocks on lockdown.

RvB: xmas_sharcus.doc

"I did my best… I know it's not perfect" He'd even restored the shine on the copper pieces and gotten old dust out from the crevices of the wings. It looked like it had when Sam was a kid, just with a bit of a crack in the crystal.

RvB: Steel and Slag (Sharklix elnod au)

Thank God for easy-travel hardlight straps. Fully customizable, easy to clean, stores flat in a tac case, and nice and warm after it's been on a minute.

RvB: Steel and Slag plot remix

Felix gives him a 'don't fucking do it' look. Sharkface winces at him, dying to talk about his stupid fucking flamethrowers and how diesel won't work with that streamlined design since it's meant to work with a more easily stored and compressed aerosolized fuel. Sarge is like alright well if you won't tell me I'll just have to disassemble them to figure out how they work. That's the last straw. Sharkface grabs the bars with impressive force such that they rattle and he growls at the old man. "Don't you fucking dare. I'll take them apart for you but don't try to do it on your own, they're proprietary."

This week’s word is…

Thoughts on season 17?

So I talked briefly about s17 last night in a 2am haze here are those rambles but I'll try to give a whole debriefing on my opinions here (spoilers ahead obvi)

So, honestly, going into s17 I was very skeptical. I hate s16 with a passion even rewatching it last night to do this little 'finally finishing the show' thing I'm currently doing. I also have heard a lot of people talk about how Tucker was done dirty in these ending seasons. And I'm the kinda guy that does his best to hold of on having opinions on stuff I haven't personally watched cause I just don't think anyone can realistically have a strong opinion just based on other peoples thoughts and words. Buuuut it still didn't put much hope in me that was for sure lol

Going in though I was, admittedly, pleasantly surprised. It wasn't, like, amazing but it didn't suck! And it was FAR better than s16 and at this point that's all I can ask for lmao. The first thing I wanna talk about is, obviously, Tucker (lol) and his whole thing in s17.

So, like most RVB seasons, s17 is the continuation and end of of the time travel arc thing so it's coming off of s15 and s16 but mostly s16. Now, I'm actually gonna go ahead an preface all this with saying I fucking HATE time travel in media it almost always gives me a headache and I will talk about that at some point but I wanted to get that out of the way here.

SO Tucker. My guy of all time the dude of always and forever. He got probably ones of my favorite arcs of all time for a character especially in RvB seconded only to like the Freelancers. And I've talked about how much s16 basically turned me off the show for a LONG while and most of that was because of how they were writing Tucker.

S17 is not nearly as bad here. So they actually give a reason to his weird ass behavior in s16 and where I don't think it was perfectly executed it made it a lot more bearable for me, honestly. It put more context as to why his personality did almost a complete 180. It also gave me the time to really pick apart what they were clearly trying to do with him. Like having him work through his masking he does for his insecurities and still processing the whole hero arc he got a few seasons back. That's all super interesting I just do wish they'd have done it better.

But I will say; TUCKER IN THE LABYRINTH? TUCKER IN THE LABYRINTH??? FUCKING HELLO???? Like. No one said anything in the episode really. But like. My brother in christ he had a panic attack and then passed out on the fucking floor cause he watched his friends disappear and didn't know what to do or how to get them back. LIKE OH MY GOD??? Like Chorus we saw him get pretty frantic about the others being 'taken' by the Federation. So he gets pretty obsessive when someone is missing it seems but for his greatest fear that the Labyrinth used to try and get him to kill himself was juts? A fear of being alone??? That's insane. Like lots of people fear being alone! Lots of people fear their friends and family leaving them! That's normal ish enough. But for Tuckers fear to be so fucking strong that the AI believed it was enough to kill him?! DUDE WHAT? THATS INSANE! IT MAKES ME ACTIVLLY CRAZY WHAT THE HELL! I think blowing up is the only way I can cope with this thanks

Also, speaking. Of Tucker. UM THE TIME FRAGMENT HE HAD TO FIX? THANKS. THANK YOU. THAT WAS SO PAINFUL. THAT WAS FUCKING FOR ME PERSONALLY. THEY DID THAT SHIT FOR ME. No joke that happened and I fucking scrambled out of my bed and ran to my qp's room like STARRRRR and I'm over here like climbing into their bed and half to tears about to sob like a clown just like "STAR STAR THEY DID THE THING THEY DID THE THING ITS FRECKLES SHAKE STAR STAR HE HAD TO RELIVE FRECKLES SHAKE STARRRRR" and they're like "... yeah?" (<- They have seen like two seasons of this show and have no idea what the fuck I am on) BUT LIKE DAMN HIM HAVING TO SABOTAGE HIS OWN TEAM TO MAKE IT TURN OUT THE WAY HE NEEDS IT TO FIX THE TIMELINE. FUCKED UP. ESPECIALLY TO LEARN HOW FUCKING SCARED HE IS OF SHIT LIKE THAT EXACT SITUATION HAPPENING? FUCKING AWEFUL I LOVED EVERY SECOND IT WAS AMAZING BEST DECISION SINCE SLICED BREAD HOLY FUCK!

So, uh, yeah they made up for s16 at least for me :)

ANYWAYS. Other parts I loved: so like, fr? The time travel in this season wasn't as bad as other shows. It was p easy to grasp and the whole "reliving events to fix those points in time" actually made more since than most bullshitted time travel plots (I'M LOOKING AT YOU NINJAGO SEASON 2 EPISODE 6 WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME. IM LOOKING DIRECTLY AT YOU) so I did really appreciate that. Also them jumping through time like they were doing especially when Donut was with Wash? FUCKING AMAZING. It was like genuinely hysterical them continuously going back to the point where he shoots Donut and Donuts like WHY DO I KEEP DOING THIS??? It's great peek comedy especially when its Wash that brings them back to that moment n hes like oh fuck im so sorry its GREAT

ALSO MORE OF THE FREELANCERS !!!! I LOVE THEM!!!! I love seeing our silly guy Wash interacting with the other Freelancers. Wash and Donut in this season were literally perfect. I loved them befriending each other and being silly together. Donut and Wash adventures are honestly the best part of this season actually.

Also WASH AND CAROLINA THIS WHOLE SEASON OH MY GOD. OHHH MY GOD. They make me so insane this season watching both how they started and then how they had like their mini breakup but came back together CAROLINA CALLING HIM HER BROTHER FUUUUCKKKK ITS SO EVERYTHING TO ME MAN THEY ARE FUCKING FAMILY DAMNIT

Speaking of family DONUT FINALLY GETTING RESPECT FROM THE REDS N BLUES! HOLY SHIT!! I've always hated how sidelined Donut got cause I love him I think he's great. But like, they pretend like he's so forgettable or not even there. And having TUCKER learn his character development in this season from DONUT and him and Wash telling ppl like no assholes listen to Donut he knows what he's talking about he can lead us THAT FUCKED ME UP THAT WAS SO GOOD ILL BLOW UP

I do, however, wish that Donut had more self respect. The whole "they may hate me but theyre till my friends!" bit was kinda not great LIKE if it had come in AFTER some of the stuff between him and Wash or him n Tucker then that would be fine but idk it felt weird that Donut chose the reds n blues over Chronos in s16 finale to me like it would make more sense if he was like nah fuck BOTH yall but we still gotta save the planet for me at least and then coming around like woah wait yall do care about me? n the apologies n shit

Speaking of apologies fucking Wash being like "you are all going after him and saying youre sorry" was so funny hes such a dad

HMMMM ALSO CAROLINA'S BIT IN THE LABYRINTH!! THAT WAS ALSO SOOO GOOD not to be insane but when she talks about having people in her life and that makes her stronger the camera is specifically showing Tucker and Wash behind her and this is where I blow up I just explode I cannot cope WAH

There's like just so many good character moments like with Grif and Kai in her Labyrinth god that was so so so good. And Huggins and Grif was also the perfect of all time as always. Huggins and Grif are so good I love them.

I will say another negative admittedly was how hard Kai had it out for Tucker like when they were trying to snap him out of the time thing and out of the Labyrinth idk like I'm sure it was all for laughs but it felt like when they had their talk that things were gonna be better for them like as friends obvi not as an item since she shut that down. But then like idk it felt kinda off to me but also the whole s16 thing just made me SUPER put off on any Kai and Tucker stuff in canon material. I LOVE the idea of them being friends I used to hc Tucker being super super close w both Grif sibs and I personally still do! But the show eh idk hard to explain ig lol

the TLDR is i liked it! it wasnt perfect but it was waaaay better than s16 and i had a good time either way !

RvB 20th rewatch: s2

Continuing the rewatch onto season 2. This is my first time watching the show on dvd and honestly it’s so fun seeing the menus and watching the extra stuff and also- getting to listen to Trocadero. That’s the best part man fucking love Trocadero.

DOC MY BELOVED

As yes the beginning of Vic being a little weirdo

The whole “you’re the thing that babies suck on” bit is still one of the funniest jokes in early rvb it cracks me up so much

Caboose only has nine toes

Remember when Doc was a fairly normal dude? Exposure to the reds and blues really does just turn you into a freaky little weirdo 😂

Also Doc’s willingness to distance himself from Grif simply for being unpopular is so funny it’s like they’re fucking high schoolers

I always say that out of everyone Church and Tucker feel the most like actual friends

Tucker character development really does go hard- he starts out as this kinda young seeming idiot who makes a lot of sex jokes and grows into the most competent soldier among them and a leader.

But also he just sounds so young in the early seasons and it’s making me emotional

Remember when Lopez didn’t hate everyone and was genuinely loyal to Sarge? Good times

BISEXUAL SHEILA

Also the beginning of the most insane love triangle ever. Of all time.

Donut actually does call himself pink here

I think it’s funny that Tex tells a story about Church being pantsed in high school even tho Allison and the Director didn’t meet until they were both adults meaning the Director either told Allison that story and Tex had that memory or Tex is counting on Alpha having faulty memories and is just straight up making shit up for the lols

Ahhh Cabooses mind- a very good bit

My personal headcanon is that Donut is 100% aware of all the innuendos and is doing it intentionally to be a little shit cause they kept making fun of him for the pink armor. No I don’t care what s17 said.

CHEX YOU ARE INCREDIBLE GOD I JUST AKDHKAHSKDHKSBD I LOVE THEM

DOC OMALLEY MY BELOVED

Possibly one of my favorite villains in the whole show just for the sheer hilarity he brings

Ah the grimmons cyborg surgery

Okay but Donut trying to jump on top of the base from the inside is so real. I never played all of halo but I did have the demo on the computer as a kid and blood gulch was like the only playable map on the demo and I would spend so long trying to jump on top of the base. I was so annoyed that you couldn’t do that

Grif smokes

“Simmons… I need your ovaries” another one of my most quoted lines

Everyone else: man Donut is so dumb and annoying // me: that is a man who knows exactly what he’s doing

“I will devour their hearts and crap out their souls!” Also one of my most quoted lines.

The fucking mayonnaise bit is so random and funny like where did that even come from

Church’s inability to speak is one of my favorite bits mostly cause me too. He just like me fr.

The brief Caboose-Donut friendship is so good

Church being able to read binary code omg how was the alpha reveal not planned I’m screaming

Tucker the first believer in grimmons

I love how Tucker was the first to realize there was a conspiracy and then everyone proceeded to ignore him and then turned out he was right.

The irony debate is another very quoted moment for me

There’s a bit at the end of the credits where Vic tells you the movies over and now I’m wondering if the bit in the restoration credits with Tucker is a call back to this

And that’s season 2 done- I don’t have a ton to say here other than I love this show and I’m having so much fun rewatching and seeing all the extra stuff on the dvds that I’d never seen before. There’s more than I expected!

[its-no-biggie]

hmm havent been rvb posting much..... time to talk about simmons and caboose! cause a while ago i saw a post saying that simmons and caboose are on "opposite ends of the autism spectrum", which is SO true and i wanna talk about the different ways theyre each autistic coded.

[apparently i am incapable of writing a reasonable length post, sheesh]

bc like. simmons is what people typically think "mild" autism looks like. textbook "aspergers". theres a reason im using terms that arent used by the autistic community, and its because autistic people arent the ones who make these kinds of distinctions. this is autism as seen by neurotypicals: socially awkward, smart in one area of expertise but talks about it a little too much, annoyingly pedantic at times.... you get the idea. and while these are autistic traits that i can relate to, i feel like caboose is a better representation of what it feels like to actually have autism. like, he has an easier time making friends with robots than people, he never understands whats going on except for the time travel in season 17, where hes the ONLY one who understands it. he doesnt understand figurative language, constantly misses obvious social cues or breaks unwritten rules that everyone should know, and has a very hard time lying, deceiving, or keeping information from people.

and i think the reason caboose is more relatable even though simmons is more "textbook" autistic, is because caboose is written as DISABLED. he has a hard time following simple conversations. he cant understand things that should be obvious. everyone around him is constantly frustrated because "why cant he just DO it??" so even if his symptoms dont line up exactly with autism (especially since the way hes written changes over the course of the show), at the end of the day, autism is a disability. so personally, i relate a lot more with him and his struggles than someone like simmons, who is awkward and "weird", but doesnt really seem to struggle with day to day life.

in short: simmons is what masked autism (especially if you have a useful special interest, like computers) looks like from an outside perspective. a little awkward, talks too much, but smart where it counts. generally "useful", and mostly "normal". but caboose is what it feels like to grow up with autism. always confused, everyone treats you like youre different and you cant really do anything about it, cant seem to get along with anyone even though you just want to be friends, and no matter what you do, you screw up everything you touch.

anyway im not saying that simmons isnt autistic, or that hes "less" autistic (bc that isnt a thing lol). simmons just masks a lot better than caboose. thats what an autistic person pretending to be "normal" acts like (its certainly how i act around other people lmao). but because hes not written by an autistic person, they write him like thats all there is to it. which is kind of unfortunate because it feels like theres a whole other side to him that we never really get to see.

now, the fact that the writers set out to write a nerd and wrote an autism stereotype, and set out to write a dumbass and wrote someone who is clearly disabled..... that is a whole separate conversation that im not gonna get into. especially since i dont really know much about rooster teeth, aside from the fact that the fandom seems to have wholly rejected them, and of course what i can see just from watching the show. but i think its clear that its not exactly good representation.

anyway, i still hc them both as autistic, and if/when i write them, i hope my interpretation reflects that while still being true to the characters. it actually works out great for me that theres one autistic person on each team, because whenever im thinking of dialogue and i have an idea thats a little too autistic (like saying something really blunt or picking up on a pattern most people wouldnt notice) i can usually give it to one of them instead of writing it out entirely. which works out really well for caboose especially, because he tends to be quiet during exposition unless hes addressed (bc he cant follow it). so having him make autism commentary can break up all the "blue team problems" nicely. plus having him innocuously call people out when theyre being ambiguous is WAY funnier than "haha caboose doesnt know whats going on" imho

OMG, I haven't seen any blogs doing matchups lately😭 You are a real treasure here!

Would you mind if I request a RvB matchup? I'm a female. I have a very reserved and introverted personality, very shy in public, especially when given attention, but I open up to the people I trust and believe they won't judge me. I'm moody like half of the time I'm awake, but I try to take a hold of my emotions and be self-awared. Indecisive, a little bit of perfectionist when it comes to things I know I can do. I think I have an anxious-avoidant type of attachement to people.

As for my interests, I like to sketch portraits a little bit, study languages and watch cartoons. I like long walks, autumn, cold weather and stars.

I'm not really sure it matters, but I have brown eyes and fair hair. My height is 5'6".

If that is allowed, can you match me up with somebody from the Red or Blue team (or both, I don't mind😄), not Freelancers.

Thank you very much! Have a nice day!

ikr i was looking for some blogs to follow that have similar fandoms/layouts i do but i really couldn't find any especially under the rvb tags :(( but yeah, no worries lol. i'm cool when people have preferences for match-ups and i'll do my best to follow them, so here ya go!

anyways, i think you match well with. . .

[🔧] Lopez !!

♡ Being the most sane and level-headed member of the Red Team, he truly does try to understand & see where you're coming from. Lopez isn't much of a socialite himself and understands when you need to be alone and why you're so shy.

♡ Lopez isn't all that much into PDA, so you're in luck. He won't attempt to make any romantic moves on you or bring attention to you when you're out and about. Unless you verbally ask him for a hug or a kiss- then he'll definitely do it.

♡ If you don't open up to Lopez right away, it's fine. He gets it and waits patiently when you're ready to tell him things. But, when that time finally comes, he'll always be there to support you and do his best to comfort you. Though he'd mostly be giving you advice and attempt to fix your problem, unless you specifically ask him not to.

♡ (You can ignore this if you speak/understand Spanish lol!) Even if there's a language barrier between you two, Lopez does his best to communicate his thoughts & feelings toward you. These mostly end up being shoulder rubs, a pat on the back, head tilts, hand motions, ect. If he's feeling a little funny and the situation isn't too serious it's practically a game of charades.

♡ Knows exactly how to deal with moody- given the amount of time he's spent with the reds. You wanna be left alone? Fine by him. You want him to be there, but not comfort or talk to you about it? Fine by him. As long as you're not blatantly ignoring him or being rude, he'll respect your wishes & wants as best as he can.

♡ Lopez doesn't mind giving advice or pointing out things that can use a bit of improvement for ya. Whatever it is you're doing, if you ask him for feedback, he'll give his fully honest opinion and constructive criticism if you specifically request it. Though he takes pride in the fact his partner is such a talented person!

♡ Does his best to accustom you to romantic and physical touch, but only if you'd want to try. Takes things slow with you and there's zero pressure at all. Fully respects you, your boundaries, and your feelings.

♡ Lopez isn't much of a cartoons guy or TV-watcher at all but if you want to sit and relax with him, he'll watch just about anything you put on. Won't necessarily make a lot of comments about the show or hate on it, he'll just sit there and chat with you if you're feelin like it.

♡ Will totally accompany you on walks. If you're not up for talking, he'll just stay by your side admiring the scenery with you. If you choose to sit down and draw some trees and your surroundings he'll gladly watch you do it. Not opposed to being drawn either.

♡ Lopez would do anything to keep you safe, mentally & physically. He's always there for you when you need it and you can rely on him for advice & to keep things confidential. You both have a lot of trust put into the relationship which makes for a very strong future for the two of you.

[whatthefuckisasweep]

Grif

For the character ask! Sorry this took me a while, I can't copy and paste on mobile, so I waited till I got on desktop tumblr! Thank you so much for asking about him, I could go on forever lol so this is gonna be fucking LONG. Please, anyone, feel free to ask about any other character, too. These are fun.

Why I like them: Grif is, for lack of a better word, complex. On one hand, it's like, okay he's just a funny comedy character. But on the other hand, he's like every all of my favorite archetypes of a character. He's crafty but stupid, selfish but selfless, antisocial but friendly, the straight man but the dramatic guy, he's snarky but oddly caring: the reluctant hero. It's kind of paradoxical, and I feel like not only do I relate to him, but I just really enjoy him overall. Whether it's because he's a good brother, being a complete dickbag because he doesn't know how to handle emotions, being a complete cynic on the battlefield, or being hyperactive and snappy, it's just... ah. He. Everything in his life just happens, and he has to deal with it, and yeah he'll kick and pout and probably eat everything but in the end, he's gonna choose his family and he cares deeply... even when he can't really show it.

Why I don’t: I see this a lot in myself too - the fact that he's impulsive and inherently negative when he speaks specifically. his words don't match his actions. He often doesn't hesitate when it comes to making negative comments because they are easier than saying something nice, but what his intentions are are completely different. in other words, he's a jerk, lol. Especially in season 15. I know people felt bad for him because he was partially right and went insane on Iris, but he lowkey deserved it. He said he hated his friends, and even his closest friend. He didn't want to admit that he was a good person just because he didn't want to help. yeah, it was valid, but he needs to learn how to make a case without fucking everyone emotionally and being so clammed up. >:/ sometimes it feels like he regresses in character, as much as he's matured. i guess that's realistic and just the writers making comedy, but also the way he handles Doc specifically irks me. so mean spirited for no reason, as funny as it is.

Favorite episode (scene if movie): OH MY GOD, okay, literally, every single episode with Grif starring as a main is fucking gold. I think for this I'm going to say, uh, This One Goes to Eleven. Even though it's not Grif-centric, it's the episode that's my favorite overall because it introduced me to RvB and made me like Grif right away, simply because he was attacked so much and I felt so bad for him. Another great one that sticks out right now in my sleep deprived state, is Grif does a Rescue. Augh. And the episode where Grif and Simmons get stuck underground in the caves.

Favorite season/movie: Season 8 (shotgun!!!, hyperactive ai grif), Season 11 (hanging in the canyon with simmons), Season 4 (the tank and blue simmons w/ grif), Season 5/6 (kai and rat's nest), Season 12/13 (the recruits, grif building the snowmen), Season 14 (backstory with simmons, Room Zero), Season 15 (you know why)

Favorite line: OK, don't make me choose. There are SO many that are good!!! I think one of my most favorite things that Grif says is "yoink!" It's so adorable! I also really enjoy "BLUEEE TEAAAAM SUCKKKKKS" with his epsilon double, the whole "invisible nap" scene, "what are we, on a date?"/"I can tell you what we weren't doing", "no one made me, I made me", "WERE GONNA FUCKING DIE" when charging at the meta, "that's a figure of speech?" [when carolina says im so hungry i could eat a horse is a figure of speech], "dexta grif he who shall not be messed with!"... I'm sure I'm missing a lot, he has SO many snarky funny lines, but these are some off the top of my head.

Favorite outfit: LOL THIS IS SUCH A FUNNY QUESTION BECAUSE THIS IS RVB. HAHAHA. Uh. Season 6 probably. I just like Halo 3 Graphics. Also s14 Room Zero because THEY DREW HIM FAT CANONICALLY. THANK YOU.

OTP: I'm with the majority of people in the fandom who like Grimmons! I think Grimmons is the only ship that I really vocally ship with my whole heart besides OC ships. I just very much enjoy their dynamic -- it's very angsty, dialogue full, intimate yet so unspoken. It's just a really good pair to write about and see the development of through canon. And, not to mention... season 15... hrk...

Brotp: I really REALLY want grif/tucker, grif/church, grif/locus BROTP. SO SO SO BAD. I've always seen grif and tucker as bros, grif and church are HILARIOUS together and we were ROBBED of more time together, and grif and locus are fucking adorable.

Head Canon: I have a lot of headcanons about Grif, but one of my favorite ones is that he has half-lidded eyes, like he's always sleepy. I also headcanon him as bisexual, though I think that is a popular headcanon!

Unpopular opinion: I dunno if I have super unpopular opinions about Grif... maybe that I think that his labryinth wasn't as bad as it seems at first? A lot of people seemed to think that though, yknow. Like if you look deeply into it, it's actually kinda fucked. But I feel like we should have gotten the Hawaii scene anyways. Hm. I also didn't like how they altered the canon so that Grif wasn't drafted. I think it does add something to his char that he chose to go, but I always really liked the aspect that Grif didn't control that, and yet he still did this on purpose. He was good on purpose.

A wish: A badass Grif carchase scene for the love of FUCK. We need to have him drive more stuff !!!!!!!!

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: Have him betray the reds -- i think every other red has betrayed the team at some point. please god for the love of god dont do this to grif. it really adds and says something about his character that he doesn't ever betray his team.

5 words to best describe them: (eye roll) eh. fuck it.

My nickname for them: this isn't really my nickname, since I mostly just call him grif -- but 'gif'. It's cute, and my QPP came up with it! I also really like dex. augh

[vacation-grif]

What kinda feelings?

A LOT, ACTUALLY. Like I said before, the RTNY group was telling me to skip it because it wasn’t a good season, and I want to express how much I wanted to just form my own opinion, only to end up agreeing with them in the end. Let me break this down as best as I can now that I am on my PC. I mean no disrespect to the director and writer, as well as the cast and crew. Honestly, I’m worried that my opinion makes me feel like a boomer at this point.

First off, if anyone was going to tell me that I’m going to have headaches over bright flashing lights and colors over a Red vs Blue series, I wouldn’t have believed you. As I said before, they should’ve just called this “Red vs Blue: Epilepsy Warning THE M0VIE”. I understand that they are using the Unreal Engine, because my god the graphics on this is INSANE. But everything is...too bright. TOO. BRIGHT. Everything has a lens flare no matter where the camera turns, and with the high paced action, all the lights and colors, it HURTS.

-

Next, this is a fully CG-animated season. We haven’t had one like that in SUCH a long time, and this is the first in the 20-ish years of Red vs BLue. When I was a kid who didn’t have a cellphone, I could only imagine what Red vs Blue was like when my best friend would play it over our landline on a weeknight before we would go to school the next day. And I would come over and be like, HOLY SHIT. IS THIS FUCKING HALO?! So imagine my excitement when after 8 years of Red vs Blue using Halo 1 to Halo 3 assets, you see a Warthog just crash through the walls of Valhalla, something you’d never see in a Halo game. A fully animated scene of Grif running over Washington (hell yeah), and an angry Washington outside of his game model just climbing onto the hood of the car and shooting at Grif through the windshield at pointblank range. Then cut to episode 10 of the same season, Tex makes her triumphant return, fully animated instead of her Halo 3 game model. And in the last two episodes of the season, you get OUR VERY FIRST FREELANCER VS FREELANCER FIGHT. You find out this was the work of the late Monty Oum (rest in peace), and until Season 10, Red vs Blue was THE HIGHEST POINT OF YOUR FUCKING LIFE.

Then we go to Season 12 where the animation post Oum (he was working on RWBY at this point but iirc this was just before he died) was choppy at best and didn’t feel right until Season 13, where within the one year the animation team REALLY stepped up. And this actually carries over into Season 17, Singularity, where it became more animation and less game effects, or rather it was balanced. It wasn’t extravegant like Oum’s works, but given that these are the Simtroopers, some Freelancers, some Mercs, and time gods, it felt par for the course. It felt right.

We cut now to these upgraded graphics, which felt like when you were playing on your Xbox 360 and you jsut FUCKING SHOT into the Xbox One. It was, as you would say, unreal (lol). But it felt...off. The first two episodes, the entire action didn’t feel like what you spent 16 seasons watching. It felt like a whole another beast entirely. With the use of super powers, you would think oh the Freelancers had that! Yes, but those were all suit enhancements. These...didn’t feel like it. Zero’s and Phase’s teleportation didn’t feel like something that Fragmented AI can control. Shatter Squad’s at least felt more at home. 

The models themselves were a bit off too. Choppy at best, but understandable given that they were using the Unreal Engine. But you notice that they do a lot of hand on hip pushed out to the side type of thing a lot? Everyone does it. Except Raymond, West, and the big dude. Like the SASSY STANCE. Also, there was way too much power stance. Where if your feet were shoulder width apart, it was a bit wider, and also the pelvis was out a little more. A bit weird. Finally, everyone has an ass. Everyone. Even West. West has an ass, it was like, everyone was dummy thicc and the clap of their ass cheeks was alerting Viper.

-

Next, voice acting. I...absoultely could not stand the voice acting. It was completely over the top, overdramatic, over exaggerated. Granted, I’m a singer, a perform, but I’m not exactly a good actor myself in the few shows I’ve actually done. It felt like watching an anime. When you wtach something with dialogue of your own language, you can tell when you feel something is to over the top. If you watch something of a language you don’t speak, it’ll go over your head, unless you start to speak that language, and you speak to people who speak that language, then you start to pick up what is regular speaking and what is acting. When an anime gets dubbed, most times, the voice actors tend to over dramatacize in the same way the Japanese due, and some times it works, most times it doesn’t. This is because the Japanese way of acting comes from kabuki theater. When English dubbers do that with this weird over emphasized emotions, it is extremely offputting.

In some places, the voice acting is poorly done. Jen Brown’s performance from just getting out of a hospital to giving an expositional lecture about the new cast in literally 5 seconds of time was...off. Carolina should’ve had more time to recover, especailly after losing Washington, one of her closest surrogate family, she felt...a little too calm and normal. Not like the Carolina who was hesitant but trying her best to be a whole better person (see the Paradox Arc, S15-17). It was jsut quick shift, and now she’s making snarky remarks in that Jen Brown voice she does (my god step on me please) and also being a mother hen. Also, she really calls Washington David way more this season than she ever did before that.

Fiona’s performance was shaky at best in my opinion, I don’t know her very well outside of what everyone says. All I know is that sometimes, the way she emphasizes some of her lines don’t fit the situation very well. I think East/Phase was a lot better done than One imo. But she was mostly angry and competitive.

Raymond is the textbook definition of what I hate about taking a character’s role and making it their entire personality. Think of it like watching Power Rangers, and all of their roles is just defined by the shit they say. Jason is the jock, Kimberly is the pretty girl, Trini is......I’m not gonna lie, I don’t...know what to classify Trini, Zack was the cool guy, and Billy was the nerd (Tommy was Jock II also the rebel/loner). Raymond reminded me a lot like Billy, where Billy was defined by being so smart, half of his dialogue was just look at me, i’m fucking smart, let me use all of these big words. Half of Raymond’s dialogue was, look at me, i’m the tech guy, I’m nerdy and loveable, it felt like it was too over the top of trying to stand out. By the end of the season, after East’s big reveal, I started to like him a lot more because he knew what was more at stake. I want to say that my initial impression of him was immature at best.

West was too stiff. Just.. Too stiff. I get he’s old. But show some emotion, please.

Why am I emphasizing on this more? When you listen to the dialogue of RvB, and then you listen at this, even with the return cast of Carolina, Washington, and Tucker, the direction was different. I think it’s because of the new medium with Zero being all super animated like an action, where RvB was just a bunch of net videos that you’re gonna laugh at with well timed jokes. It was super casual, but also super real. Geoff and Gus and everyone else aren’t big actors or anything, but that’s what made it feel real. That’s what made RvB feel like its own thing.

-

In terms of writing, I get that this is RvB meets FnF (Fast and Furious). But I honestly feel that it doens’t belong. The story of Shatter Squad vs Viper would have been a lot better if it didn’t have the RvB name tacked on. It’s such a cool concept, but given what RvB was before, the tonal shift is jsut too great, especially when you only have 3 of the previous cast returning.

Speaking of, what happened to Tucker?! What happened to the guy who became a leader? Responsible? Not as arrogant? Maybe playfully arrogant at best, but not stroking his ego? What happened to HIS SWORD? Did they forget how Tucker’s sword works? That it only works IF HE DIES? Tucker didn’t die, and yet Phase was able to use his sword (which by the way is now hers). One of the earliest stories/gags of RvB and they just...retconned it and threw it away! Also, Tucker’s voice acting did NOT match the scene at all. It’s like watching a video game that was localized from Japanese, and the dubbers spoke too fast before the character could finish. Tucker moves outside of his dialogue and there is this weird seconds of silence. That...that was just a BAD return for him.

-

My final thought is that, if RvB Zero is not...the RvB I grew up with. Maybe the jokes are dated, but the memories of what RvB was is still real. This just...doesn’t feel like RvB anymore. This should have just been it’s own show, it’s own story, replace Wash and Carolina and Tucker with new characters, it just wasn’t their place to be in this.

The only thing I liked about this? I’m glad Danielle (I’m assuming this is how you would spell her name) didn’t go AWOL and returned to the team. I actually really liked her the most next to Axel. She was done dirty, but she still held on to that one bond she had as East that Zero didn’t give her as Phase.

-

I know this is probably not a great opinion, and I really hope that Rooster Teeth finds the ground they want this series to go in. Sometimes, you have to try new things, or else staying stagnant will make it go stale. It’s all about trial and error. I don’t know how everyone else feels about Zero, how the new audience and the old audience feels. RvB as a whole wasn’t perfect. They had their down moments. But when you feel that way for an entire season...it’s a problem.

How many works do you have on AO3? 92?? Christ how did that happen???

What's your total AO3 word count? 207,007, apparently. Buckwild.

How many fandoms have you written for and what are they? Sticking with AO3 (and specifically this AO3 account) and discounting fusions/AUs: Star Wars, Red vs. Blue, The Magnificent Seven, The Umbrella Academy, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Stargate SG-1, Game of Thrones, and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, iirc.

What are your top 5 fics by kudos? The Fallacy of Freedom: 2035 Pretension Is Key: 1614 poor reception: 566 Renegade: 473 two can keep a secret: 436

Do you respond to comments, why or why not? Not usually tbqh. When I first started writing I tried to be the sort of person who replies to each comment but honestly it’s pretty exhausting spoon-wise and I rarely have anything to say to most comments that don’t have, like, specific questions/comment to respond to. Plus it artifically inflates the comment count and honestly I get few enough comments that that’s just depressing to me.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending? Ah. Hm. I don’t view myself as much of an angst writer, and honestly angst doesn’t interest me much, but like maybe? philter of the phantom? since it’s got kind of an ambiguous ending?

Do you write crossovers? If so what’s the craziest one you’ve written? I tend to do AUs more than crossovers because crossovers tend to involve, like, actual plot and shit? So I think the only crossover I’ve actually written is Starvb/Haat Verd?

Have you ever received hate on a fic? Not....really? I mean mostly I just get Fucking Stupid comments, or That One Asshole Who Pretty Much Always Leaves Bitchy Tags On Bookmarks. I think there was that one twit fairly recently who bitched that the second chapter of poor reception “should have a noncon tag since cody isn’t in the right mind to consent” as if it didn’t already have a fairly explanatory “Dubiously Consensual Blow Jobs” and “Identity Issues” tags.

Do you write smut? If so what kind? Yes! When it doesn’t drive me fucking crazy! *looks over my pornographic portfolio* It looks like I tend to favor consent issues, mild to moderate kink, possessiveness, and wonky power dynamics. And if it’s tagged “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” I’m probably extremely fond of it lol.

Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not to my knowledge? I think that tends to happen to more plotty writers tbh.

Have you ever had a fic translated? Breaking my “only on this AO3 account” rule because yes! One of my older, on-a-different-account fics, was translated a few years ago! I think it’s in Mandarin...?

What’s your all time favorite ship? Ah. Ahaha. Not really something I can definitively answer, sorry, I’m a multishipper at heart and also have debilitating ADHD.

What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will? Ooh, yikes, again with the debilitating ADHD. Um. Probably that Gravebone fic, the Fright Night fusion with vampire!Graves? Idk maybe one day I’ll get bitten by the Fantastic Beasts bug again but idk I kinda doubt it.

What are your writing strengths? *blinks* Um. Funny rarepairs, maybe?

What are your writing weaknesses? *blinks harder* I definitely can’t do plot to save my life, I know that. And also I assume “the writing part” isn’t an acceptable answer.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? I think it’s fun! But also my first real fandom was RvB so like! I have an extremely lax viewpoint on making sure that the other language is actually accurate! Like I actually tend to try with Mando’a but that’s literally because it’s like a fun little puzzle, trying to make something make some kind of sense in a fake language! Actual languages I tend to just Google Translate because, again, Red vs. Blue was a formative fandom.

What was the first fandom you wrote for? ...........Yu-Gi-Oh, next question.

What’s your favorite fic that you’ve written? Uhhhhhh, that’s a really hard question? “bells sometimes ring for weddings” and “darkness hides and always lies” and “trouble in mind” are things that I wrote purely out of spite that I ended up really really liking, and “peace is a lie” has indirectly made me a shocking number of friends, and “got me all beguiled” was the first thing I wrote for a fandom exchange, and “she wore it wonderfully well” came out pretty decently even if only about three people have read it, and “The Sun, The Moon, And All The Stars” is The Worst AU In The World (affectionate), and “where there’s poison, there’s a remedy” chews on my brain nonstop. So like. It really depends on how you’re measuring that.

Tagging: whoever wants to play because I’m shit at tagging rn

Author Self-Interview

well @rainathorpe put out an open-ended tag so uh. here we go

Fandoms: I’ve published stuff for gossip girl and dc comics (mostly batfamily but I’ve also got a supersons series) and young justice 2010, took brief stops in pjo, rvb, and spn. I’m also working on stuff for btvs and hp (though given… certain things, I have no idea if any of those will ever get published) and I’ve put out some art for rwby

Most popular multi-chapter fic: that’s like a weird, murdery uncle you don’t invite to thanksgiving (batman, batfam&rogues gen) technically, which is a two-shot batfam fic, and also one of two multi chapters I’ve ever published, so… it’s kind of weird to see that given that’s it’s not one I think about much, but then again it’s very much something with wide appeal, so it makes sense

Favorite story you’ve written so far: this question is rude, but also Boy Hostage (supersons, jon&damian, au where damian doesn’t leave the league: jon gets himself kidnapped) which is the kind of “getting to where you can deal with your trauma” fic that I write over and over again, and it’s centered around the growth of a platonic relationship, which always makes me, as an aro, like. Vibe

Fic you were nervous to post: uh. All of them? Posting fics is kind of terrifying in terms of how much I crave validation lol. But in specific, but what good is a quick healing to go (yj, artemis-centric gen set in a soulmate au) because a) it’s the other multi-chapter and it’s actually got a plot, b) it’s a genfic in a soulmate au, and c) it’s one that’s does draw some off of my own experiences and that made posting it pretty uh. Exposing

How do you choose your titles: mostly just track down some songs to listen to that have the right vibe, and wait for a lyric to feel right, but there are a few titled after Shakespeare quotes/mangled versions thereof (see: If music be the food of love, then—shut up, Epsilon!) and a couple that are allusions to motifs or events in the fic (e.g. gorgeous)

Do you outline: not usually, but most of my stuff is pretty short — I do have an outline for the Michaelverse, aka the hp fic of doom, and one for an untitled spn series that I’m still debating about whether to even write, but both of those are rewrites for like. Entire series

Complete: uh. Not sure what I’m being asked, but I will say that I try to complete my fics before posting them — posting something and then abandoning it is a fear of mine

Do you accept prompts: I’d like to, but as contained under the above fear, I wouldn’t want to accept a prompt and then not fill it, and I’ve got the adhd so

Upcoming story you’re most excited to write about: recently started a Henry pov fic set in an au that diverges from canon post-series but pre-epilogue and its a lot of fun

Stories you’re most excited to read: thinking about the future is extremely hard, but I’m always excited to see what @rainathorpe comes out with next, and whenever @strideofpride updates I'm still alive (or, the Pearl Jam trauma series) I get inordinately excited

No pressure tags: anyone and everyone who sees this. Go wild

My personal review and thoughts on RVB Zero

In case anybody wanted to hear my thoughts on RvB Zero

SPOILERS FOR RVB ZERO AND RVB IN GENERAL

There’s so many plot holes that need to be addressed in the next season. Project GLASS, West’s backstory and his wife and other kids, the original Shatter Squad, Zero not wanting to be a puppet again, etc.

There were some ill timed moments, for example One’s speech about saving East because she’s her friend. There was not enough character development to incite that response. I felt that the season was incredibly rushed and that may have been the product of COVID, so I’ll let that slide. I’m super excited to see what the next season has to offer for the characters (hopefully some flowy character development that makes sense) and to the storyline.

Maybe a few more cameos from the original RVB characters (but please don’t Donutify them like they did with Tucker lol)

I do think that Lina should have kept up calling Wash, Wash. Maybe not avoid the “David” until the end, but I think that she should have gotten some development (and this is my personal opinion) but I really do find her taking the role of den-mother and I think that her dynamic with Wash is *chef’s kiss*. I could just imagine Wash and Lina being the ultimate den-parents.

I did very much enjoy the comedic aspect of it, Ray is one of my favourite characters. His dynamic with every character is just perfect.

One could have been my other favourite had she just had some better character development. I do love the fact that their armour is based off of the University of Michigan colours. 10/10 love the armour designs in general.

 Also glad that Fiona is getting some positive recognition in the community now. Ever since she joined, I’ve loved her, even during her complete cluelessness in GTA. If I see one more discouraging message about my Lesbian Knight (as knighted by Lesbian queen Mariel Salcado) I will throw hands. 

I say 7/10 for the entire season, mostly because I loved the introduced characters but because they didn’t get any decent character development they get 1 point off. The fact that they messed up the rules with the energy sword because Tucker didn’t die but Phase was able to access the temple and the fact that they messed up Tucker and inconsistencies all around -2. However, the comedy was stellar, I loved the voice acting and I did like the animation although it had its bad moments as well. I loved the action scenes but I didn’t like the West vs East/Phase fight. I found the lines cringy as hell.

[coffeeastronaut]

@sharkface​ as a warning this is mostly rambling and kind of incoherent and very very long  bc i didnt make an outline and it's not really an essay but also heres my essay. essays. tex (rvb) makes me insane because:

1. misogyny -the way she's portrayed is crazy misogynistic but also not -textually, the director, alpha, and epsilon treat texas the way that they do because of grief. metatextually, tho, a lot of it is just straight misogyny. -the misogyny is coming from the writer HOWEVER -the misogyny is coming from inside the house

put those two things TOGETHER though... -she's got that classic not-like-other-girls 2000s butchness in the blood gulch era. clearly an artifact of the writer. BUT it can also read as some serious internalized misogyny!

- she's got no friends who are woman. again, metatextually it's just that woman cant be friends ever, everyone knows this, and also just there's not that many woman in rvb, and the ones who do exist, esp in the era that tex is alive in, they're all bitches. textually it's also the bitches thing.

-she's constantly pit against other woman, all the way from kai to carolina. and early on, with kai, it's basically just what i've said about not-like-other-girls-ness. later on, in freelancer, it's a bit more nuanced in that she's semi-explicitly being pit against carolina by the director and the counselor. more accurately, carolina is being pit against her (and everyone else...), in an effort to perfect both carolina and texas. metatextually it's because woman can never be friends ever, everyone knows this.

-she has a lack of agency. especially in that she's literally a memory of herself, and this is really like genuinly insane during epsilon's time with her- she's not even getting to decide whether she lives or dies, for fucks sake. and like, it's written that way to make some points about grief, and it's done to great success in that sense, but that doesn't change the fact that she's quite genuinly just there to drive epsilon's character development and make him sad.

And all of this is created almost wholly by misogyny from whoever the current writer is. but like, with all of this, if taken with the in-world context that she's not an 'actual' woman, but is a man's memory of one, it takes on this sinister twist of like, is she like this because that's how she is, or is she like this because of residual misogyny from the director? and that's way more interesting to me then a simple write off of misogynistic writing. not that it shouldn't be criticized or anything, just, it's also interesting from this angle. If you read the director as a misogynist, his memory creating tex as someone who can't ever win, can only fail, ties into both his grief and his outlook on woman- allison's death isn't just sad because she died, it's sad because it was inevitable that a woman who goes to war would die or whatever. i paraphrasing. I'm skipping over alpha!church bc. well. textually he is misogynist and so you really dont have to stretch lol. anyway. with epsilon!church his decision to bring tex back from the dead (beta... 2!), and her later death in the memory unit is like. okay. like. textually, 'i forget you' makes me wail and cry and sob because it's a great portrayal of grief and moving on from grief and how it's an active decision (one that the director never makes!). but metatextually. like. at best her death is assisted suicide and at worst epsilon's complete control in the memory unit means that he straight up just killed her. It really is like.. everything tied into what church says about tex not being able to win, she can get really close but she's always doomed to fail. is so. again, it's a great commentary on how grief can twist our memory of people into something that they never were, but it's also just.. jesus christ the complete lack of agency is SO insane. at the end of the day i don't think that misogyny made the show better but also i do stay up at night thinking abt the intersection of the writer's misogyny and the character's misogyny and in a sick and twisted way it does enhance the story. kind of. it also makes me really really mad but that's neither here nor there.

also unrelated to all that but tex is so blatantly misogynist but in a sick twisted joke of fate she’s incidentally more feminist then like, any #girlboss #feminism #badasswoman character of the last few years purely by the virtue of having a fucking personality with more facets then just ‘badass’ or ‘badass... but girly!’ and also she’s funny as hell.

2. ough memory. -tex is the memory of allison, but like, not even the director's memory of allison. it's the memory (that an ai *shouldn't have!*) of an ai copy of the director. she's a copy of a copy! and then when you get further along, to when epsilon shows up and re-remembers her (which is done through caboose!!!), she's the copy of a copy of a copy! and then when they go into the memory unit, if you go with the reading that e!beta died when the meta stabbed her in the face, she's a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy! like JESUS CHRIST! -but the WHOLE TIME. she is SO sure of herself. the only time we see her show doubt about her sense of self is when she first finds out that she's an ai in the message from ct, and even then that's arguably not doubt of her sense of self but doubt of what she's done for freelancer and for the director (specifically connie's death). she's sure of herself in the same way that alpha was sure of himself when he said 'boo, motherfucker.' -memory as in the AUDIENCE'S memory. we meet her as a goofball in the blood gulch era- we're told she's a badass, but mostly she's subject to the same slapstick nonsense humor as everyone else. over time, she takes on a more serious air with out of mind, and then her death at the end of season 5 is completely driven by her own goals of ending the war at all costs. but even then she's still somewhat goofy, as is the whole show. but then..! freelancer! and there's barely a TRACE of that goofiness! she's a total hardass, and a cunt, and she's only in it for herself (except she isnt, except she's saving york's other eye, except she's asking after carolina's health, except she doesn't seem to take her 'rivalry' with carolina very seriously most of the time, except she's trying to save the alpha, except she's trying to end freelancer, except except except except). and she really is a badass now. both in the flashbacks and in the present she's doing shit like punching through metal walls and beating like twenty guys single-handedly. and when people talk about tex, it's like people view that second characterization as the end-all for her, like it's the end of her development. and in a way it is- she comes back with epsilon and that's how she acts. but she acts like that through the lens of epsilon's 'memories' of her which i would argue come partially from freelancer and partially from... caboose. she's the description of tex, not the actual texas. but the thing is, tex actually did the opposite! and sure yeah whatever it's cuz the writing style changed, but it's so much more fun to take it at face value and say she started cold and as time went on, and after she escaped from under freelancer's shadow, she gets to finally, finally, finally relax. she lets her guard down, she gets more goofy, and just.. hangs out with the crew in the canyon. it's like retirement, or a break from everything in freelancer. and i mean, all too soon that time in her life comes to a close with the arrival of wyoming and the reminder that there very much is a real war raging on outside this little canyon, but. still. i like to think it was the best part of her life. not to mention that her choice to stay in the canyon after completing her freelancer mission reads as 'lol they're paying me and this is funny as hell' on first pass but later, with the context that she had tried to save the alpha and failed, it's a lot more like. oh my god she found him and he's basically free of course she's not going to leave.

3. good god my cat just took the fattest shit ever this REAKS. hang on i need to clean the litterbox.

3. okay im back. sorry it's the romance of all time that isn't a romance. i know that it's literally like they are a couple but they never seem to actually like.. be a couple or be in love or have anything remotely romantic. they just Are Together. and it's mostly bc church rmbrd her as his gf and she just never disputed that. but they both care oh-so much abt each other in this like crazy way where tex is trying to save alpha, church later tring to save beta, that whole ai room thing of like 'who are you, im so tired, do we know each other' shit like it's so. i feel crayyyzayyyy. it's not a romance but it also is. i dont know. i feel sick. they are quite literally pieces of a whole. but they also aren't because neither is incomplete.

4. Let's Get Into Motherhood. A series of true statement that make me feel sick: -allison was carolina's mother -allison is not texas -texas is not allison -texas is not carolina's mother -carolina does not want a replacement for her mother -texas does not want to be carolina's mother -the director does not want texas to be carolina's mother -the director wants texas to be allison -the director wants carolina to be allison -the director wants allison to be the best -carolina wants to be the best -texas is the best -texas cannot win -carolina cannot beat tex -carolina cannot beat allison -allison is dead -carolina will never be her mother -carolina will never meet the director's expectations -carolina is the director's greatest creation -the director did not create carolina -the director did not create tex -carolina does not know that texas is allison -the director does not know that texas is not allison -the director knows that carolina is not allison -tex is not allison -carolina does not have a mother -texas does not have a daughter -allison had a daughter -allison is dead -texas is not dead -texas cares about carolina anyway -carolina hates texas anyway

in conclusion i think it's good that the director killed himself

5. im getting borderline incoherent here and i think i started borderline incoherent so ill just say she's my best friend ever and she should punch grif in the balls again, i miss her so fucking bad every day. if i was the director... i get it, but i would not do all of that.

just know that i could write like multiple essays on tex ALONE but no one wants to see that so im restraining myself to idle chatter about carolina instead. bc once i start i wont stop

[meanderfall]

one thing i've always wanted to know, since you have good taste, is if you were gonna be stranded on an island what are the fics, music, video games, etc (doesn't have to be all of those things, just whatever you can think of) that you'd bring with you to be read/played/watched/listened to over and over again because they're just That Good?

JKDHFFJGH i cant believe you think i have good taste!! oh man, i hope you’re ready to be disappointed lmao Thank you though, you’re so sweet!

Anyway, this question is always really tough for me because like, my interests change so easily and so quickly that the answer changes like all the time.

Let’s see, i don’t think there are any movies in particular that I would want to re-watch over and over again. Oh! Maybe the LotR trilogy? And Star Trek Beyond.TV show-wise, the only ones I can think of would be the episodes of Supernatural that Gabriel was in because holy fuck i love Gabriel so much and he’s such a fascinating character and his storyline is slkfjdhf. I’d probably end up bringing Friends with me too, but that’s mostly a comfort thing lol I grew up on it and it was pretty much the one show my older siblings and I could all watch together in peace and enjoy.

Book-wise, I’d probably bring the entire series of John Dies at the End because the humour is right up my alley and it’s pretty deep. There’s so much character!! I love it!!! Weirdly enough, I think I’d want to bring Of Mice and Men because that ending makes me cry like a little baby. Oh! Genesis by Bernard Beckett! I actually only read it once quite a few years ago so i don’t remember much, but it left quite the impression on me! It’s best left read without knowing anything about it, but it’s very philosophical and interesting. And Happiness by Will Ferguson! In this one, basically an editor who’s behind on finding a script finds a script for a book that will help you find happiness. It gets published and guess what! it works! everyone’s happy! Except for the editor who finds the entire thing unsettling and goes off to find the author and try to get him to fix what happened.The Forbidden Game by L.J. Smith is also solid. I love Julian. What an interesting character.

Manga/anime-wise, I’m bringing One-Punch Man, Mob Psycho 100, Bakuman, Assassination Classroom, Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, Fruits Basket and Dame na Watashi ni Koishite Kudasai. (I’ve re-read all of them so many times like oh my god)

I’d probably bring RvB with me because Yes. Game-wise, I’m hauling Folklore (or FolkSouls), Spyro the Year of the Dragon, Assassin’s Creed 2, Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Rune Factory 3, and the Star-Stealing Prince and no one can stop me.

Let’s see, music-wise, I’d bring Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Moon, You Are Enough, Son, and One, all by Sleeping at Last. In a Big Country by Big Country. Riptide by Vance Joy. Which Witch by Florence + The Machine. Go To War by Nothing More. Kitchen Sink by Twenty One Pilots. Brian Wilson by Barenaked Ladies. Carry Your Throne by Jon Bellion. Wait For It from the Hamilton OST. Pompeii from Bastille. A Chance of Rain from Bedouin Soundclash. Exorcism by Clairity.

Oh boy, are you ready for the fics? These are the ones I swear by and that I’ve read and re-read and adore with all of my soul.

The Long Road Back to Good (rvb fic)

Wolf in the House (a sterek fic)

Ask Me No Questions (a loki becomes good fic)

Clarity of Vision (a thilbo fic)

Old Dogs and New Tricks (a sabriel fic)

Before the Legends… (a gen TOS star trek fic, focused on how Kirk, Spock and McCoy first met on the Enterprise) 

Between Truth and Absolution (a klavier-centric fic, focused on what happened after Apollo Justice and the trauma Klavier went through, and if i had i had to pick any one piece of media between every single last thing i’ve mentioned in this post, it’s this one okay, i love it so much, i would give my life for it, you don’t understand, it means so much to me.)

Some Things Shouldn’t Be a Chore (a stony fic)

and Winter’s End (a winteriron fic)

Phew, I think I covered everything? lmao anon, you probably weren’t expecting this to be so in-depth, im so sorry for the amount of reading here rip

[cerealmonster15]

Do you have any advice on drawing halo spartan armour?

hwell,

wwell,

well..,

yes and no. mostly no, because i am a coward who always Avoids Drawing Armor bc i am afraid of it, so i dont have much experience results to show there.

BUT, as far as learning to draw things in general, and general advice that i plan on eventually following when i stop bein lazy, is lots of reference photos. drawing things from “life” and sort of copying what you see, then comparing what you’re doing with the source, then fixing or redrawing where you made mistakes can help you with learning where you’re consistently messing up and help you notice details you often forget. 

maybe start with a simple and very basic sketch out of just the essentials and basic shapes youre going for, then slowly add more details, but trying to stick with adding detail gradually all over, bc if you try and focus on lots of details on like, just one portion, you could end up with really wonky proportions [thats a mix of my advice + stuff my drawing teacher taught my class WOO]. but maybe taking it one section at a time might help you learn it better [like, if youre drawing a full body, youd wanna do the all over/gradual adding detail, but if you wanna learn bit by bit maybe you’d just practice drawing a bunch of chest pieces?? i dunno, that one’s just an idea lol]

but as far as specific armor stuff, i cant be much help there as i dont have the Experience. 

THIS IS A VERY GOOD LOOKIN GUIDE ON DRAWIN RVB/HALO ARMOR THAT I’VE HAD SAVED! i havent tried it out but i really love that artist and theyre very good with drawing armor. this guide also mentions having them good ol’ reference photos. a good rule of thumb for drawing anything is having some nice references nearby ;p

SPEAKIN OF REFS, THIS POST HAS SOME GOOD HALO ARMOR PIECES TO TAKE A GANDER AT SOLO,  so u can get some good angles there 

i think once you get the general idea you could probs do some simplified versions of it too. ive seen some real basic designs that still look Really Great

you could also creep thru some art tags of cool rvb fanartists and get some inspiration there [as long as ur not like, copying or tracing anyone’s work, it can help ya get over some blocks to see different approaches that various people will take to different tasks]. my cool hip radical mutuals @gdipalomo @amvial @mercuryblacksleg and @scribbleboxfox have some pretty sweet takes on how they do armor if u creep thru their art tags enough c;

EDIT: im also a fan of how @fandomescapades and other artists do the underarmor thing c; so that’s a fun alternative

Grimmons (I know this is not normally a grimmons blog, but there is some in the archives, and I figured you'd get 80 tuckingtons lol)

You would be correct lol

001 | send me a ship and I will tell you:

when I started shipping it if I did:Before I even started watching RvB, actually, and this ship is also the reason I DID start watching! I saw that gifset of sidewinder where Grif almost falls off the cliff and I just really wanted to see what that scene was about....now here I am.

my thoughts:Good ship, literally husbands, really wish one or both voice actors would take classes on voice acting. Unpopular opinion where I think.....they’re not an awesome power couple or anything and their relationship is kinda weird and dysfunctional....but they’re the only ones for each other. No seriously no other person would work in a relationship with either of them.

What makes me happy about them:I’m glad the most #confirmed #canon ship in all of RvB is an overweight hawaiian man and a an anxious cyborg, who share each other’s organs and various body parts. That’s already a great descriptor right there. They seem like....the kind of couple that really does not need to pretend around one another. I think they’re both super honest (except for about their feelings for each other probably, so far) and like, it’s all cards on the table for them. And I think that’s good for them? Like, Grif is an asshole to Simmons who in turn needs to stand up for himself and be confrontational, and Simmons is an asshole to Grif who honestly needs someone who isn’t a huge pushover bc Grif REALLY is an asshole. They somewhat complete each other.

What makes me sad about them:“They’re so in love. Why can’t they see it?”, let Simmons confess his love Grif you idiot, I wish they’d have more scenes where they’re being at least relatively nice to each other :( (at someone else’s expense maybe, probably)

things done in fanfic that annoys me:Uuuuuuuuuuuuh I can’t think of anything...oh wait yeah. When people make Grif lose his weight or get buff. No let the hawaiian fatcat be a fat cat

things I look for in fanfic:Two unemotional jerks who are dicks to everyone are forced to confront their own feelings when one or both are in peril, asshole #1 surprised himself and his soon-to-be boyfriend by putting said boyfriend first, basically just like, they pretend not to care about each other but NOW THEY HAVE NO CHOICE

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Fucking no one.

My happily ever after for them:They get married and NOTHING CHANGES. They’re literally just the same except there’s rings on their fingers. They keep in contact with Sarge, Donut and the Blues, and regularly meet up for some kind of game night or something. In my world, Grif punches Simmon’s dad, and they both live together in Hawaii, getting sunburns and sand in awkward places.

who is the big spoon/little spoon:Hm. I feel like they don’t cuddle like that too much, their preferred sleeping settings are vastly different. I guess Simmons would mostly be the big spoon bc he’s a bigger sap who wants to do things like spoon, and Grif is more like *grunts in tone of ‘I dunno’* and just sleeps however he falls down. If he falls down on top of Simmons he will stay like that until moved.

what is their favorite non-sexual activity:Judging other people together, either while watching movies or people-watching. I think they’d drive together a lot, like aimlessly, like if either is feeling bad or they just want a little time together they get in a car and drive around for a while, either in silence or with the radio on. It can either be relaxing or fun depending on their moods. Sometimes they park somewhere remote and make out, sometimes it’s not so remote.

Tag you’re it! ^_^

Umm.....I’m pretty sure I’ve already done this survey/questionnaire before; ah well, I’ll try to make my answers vary a bit from last time, but I’m pretty sure that I’ll probably just copy and paste my answers from the last one (feeling sorta lazy atm, sorry). lol ^^;

But anyways, yeah, I don’t mind doing this a second time around, they’re actually pretty damn fun, so let’s get started! :D

Rules: Answer these questions, and tag 20 amazing followers that you would like to get to know better.

Tagged by: @blueteamproblem​ (Cool - Thanks for the Tag). ^_^

Name: *sigh* I’m hesitant/reluctant when it comes to revealing my name, cuz I’m paranoid/anxious, that people I knew from my past will end up finding me again......and tbh, I’m not quite ready for that reunion/confrontation just yet.....But here’s a hint: (My name means Soul in Spanish). ^-^

Nickname: Ama (by my dad, my little cousins, and one of my fave Aunties), hmmm....A few of my old-friends back in my high school days used to refer to me as: “Almy, Almita, Soulzzz, etc”. Do these count? lol ^^;

Zodiac sign: Leo (Western Zodiac) and Sheep/Ram (Chinese Zodiac).

Hogwarts House: When Pottermore first started becoming a “thing” around 2010-2011 (I remember cuz I was one of the beta-testers), I was sorted and placed in Slytherin. .....But I believe that, that was due to the fact that I was in a really really really depressed, bitter and dark place at the time (those who have read my first entry of my “therapy blog”, and will end up reading more in greater detail later down the line, will know why); but as of right now: I’m happy to say that I’m a Proud Pottermore Ravenclaw. ^_^

Height: 5′3” (yeah, I know i’m pretty smol). heh ^^;

Orientation: Bisexual (I know that I’m attracted to women at the very least, as well as men....but it’s sorta on a 70/30 sometimes 60/40 on the spectrum/scale), but as of late, I feel like I could also very possibly be ace, maybe even possibly demisexual (Let’s just say that It’s safe to say I’m still questioning/trying to figure myself out, and leave it at that). ^^;

Manga wise: Rurouni Kenshin by Nobuhiro Watsuki His and Her Circumstances aka Kare Kano Yu Yu Hakusho, Hunter x Hunter, Level E, and Ookami nante Kowakunai all by my all-time fave mangaka (infamous for his long-ass Hiatuses, but damn it I still think they're worth it): Yoshihiro Togashi.

Favorite fictional characters:  Waaaaay too many for me to list here, but currently as of right now, as I’m sure some of you may have noticed, I’m crushing/fangirling rather hard over Soi Fon at the moment. lol xD

Favorite flower: I love most flowers (like for example: a classic single stem Rose) but I do have a soft spot for Small flowers, like: Morning Glories and White Clovers.

Favorite scents: Petrichor aka the smell of the earth/soil after it rains, though the smell of coffee, the smoky scent of firewood during a cold night, the crisp cold scent of an early morning/early evening/late night, the smell of freshly mowed or cut grass, the fresh smell of laundry, and the scent of sandalwood are all pretty damn nice too. ^_^

Favorite color:  Purple, Lavender, Orchid Purple, Wine Red/Red-Violet, Magenta, Sapphire Blue, Cerulean Blue, Light Blue, Red, Maroon, Teal, Emerald Green, Turquoise Green, Seafoam green, Gray, Black, Silver, Gold, Neon Colors, basically any type of bright / vibrant colors, though pastels colors are pretty nice too....I find most hues/shades of colors beautiful in their own right.....So let’s just say everything! lol ^^;

Favorite animal:  I’m real fond of the whole Trickster-archetype when it comes to animals, so it’s safe to say that I really do have a soft spot for Corvids (Crows and Ravens), and Foxes; though I also really like Wolves, and Owls. But above all else, I really really really fucking love felines/cats (big and small); ie Grey Tabby Cats, Maine Coons, Norwegian Forest Cats, Lions, Leopards, Jaguars, but especially Snow Leopards! =^.^=

But music-wise: Just like with anime, books, and tv-shows I tend to be a pretty open-minded and am into several types of genres (from J-pop/J-rock/anime theme and ending songs, anything by Megumi Ogata, punk rock, alternative rock, 80's and 90's pop/rock music, electronic, pop, hip-hop, r&b, jazz, anime jazz covers, classical music, modern classical music with a modern twist aka pop/rock covers via a classical musical sense, scores in anime and in some of my fave nerdy fandoms, basically anything and everything even country....all except for like "pure rap or purely screamo heavy metal".... like, I don't mind if there's a little bit in like r&b/pop or rock respectfully, but yeah, just no). ^^; My Fave bands/musicians: - Green Day - Death Cab For Cutie - Daft Punk - Owl City - Etc.

Coffee, tea, or hot cocoa?: Tea; I used to be quite the coffee drinker, but not anymore mostly due to my anxiety (trust me I still really miss it, especially the taste & the smell of coffee.....Hmmm, I’ve been thinking that maybe I should try decaf), but anyways, yeah, over the years I’ve stuck and grew to really love tea....tho cocoa is nice every once in awhile (especially during the colder seasons). ^^;

Average sleep hours: *sigh* I have insomnia, so my sleep cycle is pretty much wack and all over the place; I’m lucky if I get 5-6 hours of sleep. -___-;

Number of blankets you sleep with: As of right now: one; I really really really hate humid/warm/hot weather....makes it soo damn uncomfortable to get a good night’s sleep (but that’s what I get for living in California, I suppose). ugh. >_<;

Tainted Love (part 1)

Summary: Soulmates are supposed to be a wonderful thing, that is until you find out who your soulmate is. You guessed it, Lance “The Fucker” Tucker.

Pairing: Lance x Reader

Warnings: probably swearing

A/N: Don’t hate me but I deleted ‘Long Way To Go’. I’m sosososososososososososososososo sorry BUT here’s this new Lance AU. I really hope you guys like it :) Also, I know I say this every time but if there are any mistakes, I shall fix it when I wake up (I really need to stop staying up late lol).

Growing up, you always wondered who your soulmate was and when you’d meet him. You wondered if he was brunette or blonde; a red head maybe? If he had blue eyes or brown eyes; maybe gray or hazel?

Was he tall or short? Did he have the most perfect smile ever? Was he nice?

So many questions ran through your head as a kid. Either way, you couldn’t wait until the day you got to meet your soulmate. Your parents always wondered when you‘d meet him. Your older sister already had, they’re married now. Your friend since college, Hope, had recently (finally) got together with her soulmate, Ben. Even your youngest sister had already met her soulmate. Now they were waiting on you and at age 28, you still held onto the little hope that you’d meet him.

It was a long 28 years of your life and your soulmate had put you through hell and back. From bruises and scrapes here and there to breaking your arm and leg.

And let’s not forget the most painful thing you’ve ever experienced because of him; that god forsaken tattoo just above your lady parts.

It was a quiet Saturday afternoon. Everyone was off doing their own thing which left you at home by yourself. You were just watching some movie, relaxing on your couch when you felt a horrible sensation on your lower abdomen and it was getting worse by the second. It felt like someone was stabbing you, more like carving you and you wondered if your soulmate was alright.

Going into the bathroom, you pull down your sweatpants and remove your shirt, leaving you in only your bra and underwear. You hold onto the wall for support, the pain increasing as it got closer to your womanhood. You look into the mirror and see what seems to be a drawing?

Then it dawned on you; that motherfucker is getting a tattoo.

It was the worst 3 to 4 hours of your life.

The idiot tattooed fucking gold medal on him. Why the fuck would he get a tattoo of a gold medal? And somewhere so painful? Needless to say you hated getting undressed. Sex too. And forget about bikini’s.

God, how you wished you knew who your soulmate was so that you could properly kick his ass.

You tried contacting him a couple of times when you were 17. You wrote on your hand with pen, knowing it would also appear on his hand as well. You wrote a simple ‘hello, this is your soulmate.’ followed by a little smiley face. He responded with a ‘fuck off’.

You also knew that he was very sexually active. You loathed the mornings you’d wake up and find several hickeys on your neck. Oh, how you wanted to pummel him to the ground.

Even though you wanted to give him a piece of your mind, you always found yourself caring a bit too much for your soulmate, despite all the shit he’s put you through.

“Get your cock sucking ass in the car, you’re coming with me.” Hope placed her hands on her hips as she glared at you.

“No thank you, I’m fine staying home.” you respond, leaning against the doorframe.

Hope groans. “Can you stop being an asshole for two seconds and come with me to the gym? The new team coordinator is coming by and you’re really fucking nice so you’ll make me look good.”

You let out a sigh. “Fine. But only because you’re shit on your own.”

Hope smiles and you quickly put on your shoes, slipping your phone into your back pocket. The two of you retreat back to her car and you slide into the backseat, being met with some teen.

He smirks at you. “Hey.”

You turn to Hope. “Who’s this asshole?”

“Oh that’s just Maggie’s fling for the week. ” she brushes it aside and you roll your eyes.

“I really like him.” Maggie turns to you with a sweet smile from the passenger seat.

“He’s got to go.” you say, looking at the guy.

“What?”

“Go, get out.” you nod your head but he doesn’t move. “Don’t make me get out of this car and drag you out.”

The teen’s eyes widen and he grabs his backpack before getting out of the car at which time, Hope starts driving.

“What the fuck was that for?” she glanced at you through the rearview mirror.

“She needs to be on her A game and that little shit would’ve distracted her.”

Hope pursed her lips but didn’t say anything more on the matter.

“Oh shit, I almost forgot.” she spoke, grabbing a cup from the cup holder. “I want that down the hatch before we get to the gym.”

You watch Maggie take the cup from her, noticing it held a greenish liquid and snatched it from her.

“Y/N, what the fuck.” Hope let out a frustrated sigh.

“What’s in here Hope?” you shake the cup around.

“Healthy shit.”

“Like what?”

“Like orange juice and bananas and.. Weed.” her voice got lower towards the end, hoping you wouldn’t hear her.

“Weed?! Are you fucking kidding me Hope? The new team coordinator is coming over and you want Maggie stoned?” you scoff.

“She needs to live a little.” Hope waves her hand at you.

You roll your eyes and roll down the window, throwing the cup.

“What’s wrong with you!” Hope nearly screeched.

“She’s not going to that gym stoned, Hope.”

Hope groans loudly. “Ugh, you’re no fun.”

The three of you walk into the gym upon Ben telling you that the new team coordinator was already there and once Hope sees him, she becomes tense.

The tall man rips his earphone out of his ear and turn around, a smirk playing at his lips. “Well, well, well. Hope Ann Greggory. You’re an hour and three minutes late.”

“What the fuck are you doing here, Lance Tucker?” she barely looked him in the eyes but it was clear that she was annoyed to see him.

Lance Tucker? Hope told you about Lance, mostly about how much of an asshole he was and how much she hated him. Lance was a gymnast as well but you didn’t care for gymnastics much so when Hope would rant about him or gymnastics, you wouldn’t pay attention. You didn’t know a thing about Lance Tucker, only that he was, as Hope says, an asshat.

“Team coordinator.” he responds, holding out what looked to be an I.D.

Hope scoffs. “They offered me that job. I said fuck no.”

Lance lets out a laugh. “That’s bullshit.”

“Your face is bullshit.”

“Something looks different about you. Oh,” he then chuckles. “I know, you got old.”

“Your limp dick disease must be affecting your eye vision.” she snapped but before their insults could go any further, Ben stopped it, asking what Maggie’s first set was to which Hope said bars, still glaring at Lance.

Lance on the other hand took this time to glance around the room before his eyes landed on you. “Oh hi, I’m Lance Tucker.” and suddenly he wasn’t the asshole from ten seconds ago.

“Y/N Y/L/N.” you respond. Lance stretches his hand out to you and you shake it, the both of you immediately pulling away when you feel a shock.

“Don’t fall for his nice guy image he’s putting on Y/N. The guys’ still a dick brain.” Hope rolled her eyes at Lance but he was too busy staring at the hand you had touched.

It was as if time had stopped and all Lance could do was look at you. Why had he felt a shock when the two of you shook hands? Did you feel it too? All too soon, Lance was snapped out of his trance.

“Asshole, you gonna watch Maggie or are you gonna keep staring at my friend with your hand in your pants?” Hope questioned, still slightly annoyed.

“Uh, yeah.” he cleared his throat, looking at you once more before turning to Maggie.

A/N: Just go with the flow, alright? I’m so excited for this one. I’ve been writing this for 3 hours, tell me what ya think!
