had a(nother) nightmare

[rainy-day-revelry]

I love how well Legend works as a plot device for fics because of his veteran status. Got an item you need to work in? Legend probably has something that’s close enough, or you could just say he bought it for his stockpile. Need someone to be able to relate to a specific experience? Legend has 6 games worth of content for you to pull or extrapolate from. Need some background characters to help inform the heroes? Legend has 5 kingdoms worth of citizens he’s saved to choose from. Need romantic drama? He’s got that in spades no matter which partner you give him. So much content packed into one angry little man and I love that for him! :)

Worm Arc 21 thoughts:

Well that was sure a turn around from last arc's "I'm going to rally the students so I don't get captured."

I know my daughter has made some . . . mistakes, but I'm not a fan of her turning herself into the openly corrupted and also bad at their job parahuman cops.

(Parahuman cops as in "cops who police parahumans" not "cops who are parahumans")

Like look, I get it. A precog told her to cut ties. I can't say it's wrong to follow that advice. But she could do that in a lot of ways that don't involve the PRT.

The second not from Dinah just being "I'm sorry" is brutal.

But before she can turn herself in she has to absolutely fucking crush the PRT/Protectorate for outing her civilian identity.

I love how fucking simple taking out the entire PRT headquarters was for Skitter and her girlfriends!

Who needs anyone else? Bitch brings muscle, Tattletale brings information, Skitter brings battlefield control. Lesbian polycule power activate!

Was it an overboard response? Maybe. Was it badass how she just took out so many heroes and PRT troops with ease? Yes.

Poor Dovetail has one of the most embarrassing introductions ever. First time we see her and Skitter is wiping the floor with her and thinking about her "crummy power".

God I hate Tagg so much that he makes me miss Piggot. Like she was absolutely terrible, but he's worse! And making me miss Piggot makes me hate Tagg even more!

Kindly old cemetery groundskeeper who doesn't pay much attention to the news! Never a bad trope.

They gave Butcher 15 to Cherish???!? Like sure they give all the reasoning for it but like ... it just seems like a really high risk situation. If she ever gets out it's going to suck. A lot.

THE SCENE AT RACHEL'S PLACE OH MY GOD!

SHE IS BUILDING A COMMUNITY! I LOVE HER SO MUCH!

Rachel just over here finding everyone like her and giving them a place. Legit crying. Look at that fucking growth!

(Also shout-out to my wife for having basically done the same thing. It's how I met her. It's how I met one of my girlfriends. And so many other important people. So ya. I fucking love this.)

Also you ever like a girl so much you try to give her an entire planet? Cause Taylor sure has.

"Rachel I don't want you to be sad when I'm gone so you can basically have this whole other planet we found."

GGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

Imp let Regent take control of her . . . welp. Like, I'm not really surprised by this. And in a different situation I wouldn't even really find it that weird. I'd do it with the right person. But combination of age and the situation they are in and Regent being Regent annnnnd ya. Welp.

I did love how much of the interactions between Skitter and Regent/Imp really was just her struggling with parenting two teenage supervillains.

IT'S NOT SO EASY, IS IT CHILD?!? MAYBE YOU'LL CUT ME SOME SLACK AND LISTEN TO MY ADVICE IN THE FUTURE!

(She won't)

I fucking LOVE that she made the bible themed hero kneel. Absolutely fucking amazing.

Oh shiiit, Skitter just flat dropped that guy multiple stories. Is she going to far?

. . . wellll, these guys do literally worship the Endbringers so I guess a little aggression is ok.

Damn, Valefor sure has some fucked up powers, I wonder what they're gonna do abou-

. . .

. . .

. . . . . .

. . . wellll, these guys do literally worship the Endbringers so I guess a little aggression is ok.

. . .

Yep.

. . .

. . . I think I preferred when she just used a knife.

So anyway

Not a fan of Taylor having more alone time with Brian (not because I have any issue with the idea, but because I think she needs to be focusing on her girlfriends), but I am a fan of her using bugs to clean her dress and fix her hair afterwords while Brian just kinda sits there and has to contemplate what he has gotten himself into. Queen shit.

Flechette was SO mad that Parian wasn't "cute" anymore, I couldn't stop laughing. Sure, she said "You had to take the playfulness away? The joy?" but we all know what she meant. Of course, it's won't take very long for the new costume to get Flechette's attention. (I have to mention that this is basically exactly what I said when reading the scene, and the interlude a few chapters later just proved me right.)

Flechette is just so hopelessly gay

Miss Militia is actually getting very mild respect from me right now. Like, she's still working for the cops but she is actually agreeing to silently push against some things. Now, she says she doesn't have more power then that but she is a very well known hero and if she would publicly speak out about certain things there is a decent chance she could do more. That would of course be putting her position at risk though. Which is why she only gets very mild respect right now.

OH MY GOD I DIDN'T JUST GET TO SEE TATTLETALE'S MURDER WALL, I GOT TO SEE HER ENTIRE MURDER ROOM!

Fucking multiple bulletin boards with threads connecting them. Everything color coded. Reference numbers to files with more details. Multiple TV screens, computer with constant information dump. God. It's like a literal representation of the inside of my mind while I read Worm. SO MANY THINGS TO FIGURE OUT!

I love a lot of characters, but Tattletale always stays near the top. She gets me.

And from the fucking joy of getting to see that setup I come crashing the fuck down.

Like, I have completely figured out at this point that Skitter is turning herself in. I know what is coming. She's had her moment with everyone else and Tattletale is the last one.

And then. Then just . .

No goodbyes.

😭😭😭😭😭

HOW DARE THIS BOOK MAKE ME FEEL MY OWN FEELINGS!! I'M TOO GAY FOR THIS!

I do find it hysterical that the PRT officers working the front lobby don't all recognize Skitter on sight. Fucking gas station employees will manage to keep track of people with pictures on the "bad check" board, you'd think the PRT could manage to have their officers keep track of the face of one of the most well know villains in the country, if not the world, who also controls their city. PRT is forever bad at their job.

That one guy did notice her eventually though, so I guess he gets to be employee of the month.

The Number Man interlude thoughts:

The inside of this mans mind is one of the sexiest things I have ever seen and the constant reminder of the horrible things he is helping Cauldron do to all their prisoners was very helpful because it was the only thing keeping me from deciding that The Number Man is a perfect soul that can do no wrong.

I have no illusions here. I am weak. This man is a monster and I should not have any trouble remembering that.

But fuck shit fuck oh god fuck I don't even need him to touch me. I just need him to TALK to me. I just need him to get high with me and let me pick apart how his mind works!

He understood numbers, and through them, he understood everything.

That line. Absolute killer. Fucking take me.

. . . anyway yes it's a very interesting interlude!

Loved seeing more of the inner workings of Cauldron

I very much want to see the final level of their basement that only the Doctor goes into because I said that I thought Cauldron had a dead (for values of dead that are non-definable) higher dimensional being in their basement back during arc 15 and now I know for sure that there is something down there. I wanna know if I was right!

Oh my god he was friends with Jack

"Friends"

Look I make everything gay ok? It's not my choice! Sure it means I get to enjoy every tiny bit of Wolfspider and Chatterbug cause I see all of it. But it also means I see the ships I don't want to think about!

I men what was I supposed to think when Jack said “We can live this. Together. Every waking second…”?

Gay

Parian interlude thoughts:

And speaking of gay!

Fucking Flechette just full blown "Fuck all of this I want you to tell me what to do for the rest of my life!"

Full U-Haul lesbian.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

This is Parian's new costume having an effect.

Just so gay. I love it.

Also Bitch just so fucking ready to break Skitter out. So fucking gay.

And the incredible loyalty, which is gonna hurt if she ends up feeling betrayed by Skitter.

Still gay though.

Tattletale, basically without powers, just completely giving Accord the "fuck off, we're in charge" was amazing. All she had to do was promise to consider his binders and he was all in. This poor man just wants somebody to read his ideas! He's like a aspiring screenwriter just begging people to read his script.

Shuada does hit a lot of the power imbalance issues that come with huge age gaps like that: one is bigger and stronger, one is more forceful and actively instigates the relationship whereas the other just awkwardly complies, one could easily manipulate the other with blackmail including potential for “I’ll tell everyone you’re dating someone like me,” etc

The funny part is it’s the underage teen that has all this power lmfao

[lynxxjay]

guys here me out on Ronald and Steve Staleburger,,

[my-thoughts-and-junk]

the thing about chilshi is that i see it as super one-sided on chilchuck's part and that's some shit he's bringing to the grave with him

[celestialrealms]

ALSO NOOO THEY SHOULD HAVE PUT THIRTEEN IN BARBATOS'S PREMIUM PICTURE INSTEAD OF BELPHIE

[vivitalks]

It doesn't make much sense that he and Hardison understand each other this well. On paper, they couldn't be less alike. Give Eliot a face to punch over a code to crack any day. He likes things simple: if you're stronger than the other guy, he goes down and you don't. In Eliot's line of work, the hard way is the only way to learn. Nothing about this bizarre triangular dynamic of theirs is simple. And yet, in spite of that, Hardison just…gets it. Even when Eliot kind of doesn't really get it, Hardison gets it. Parker gets it. They don't ask him to change. They just show that he fits, exactly as he is. (Or: a morning with Eliot, Hardison, and Parker.)

some more leverage ot3 :)

[spam-monster]

FINALLY watched the rest of Good Omens s2 (if you couldn't tell by my massive reblogging spree) and I have to pontificate on Aziraphale's decision in the end and how it's not as simple as "herp derp he still thinks heaven is good".

Because the thing is: he hesitated. He looked back at Crowley. He was absolutely considering telling heaven that he had changed his mind up until the point that Mettatron said something about planning "the Second Coming".

Because he realized at that point that, if left unchecked, heaven was never going to stop trying to force armageddon.

And yes we all know Azi is "looks soft but is actually scary" and Crowley is "looks scary but is actually soft", but the thing is Aziraphale is still Very Soft and does Care Deeply about Earth and all the people on it. And he also apparently adores a good love story. If heaven gets their way, everything ends. Nina and Maggie will never eventually get together, Adam will never get to grow up and have a normal life, even Gabriel and Beelz won't be safe out in their little corner of space.

So he could, at this point, go back to Crowley, run off with him, be "us"...but there's no guarantee that whatever heaven's planning won't catch up to them. Aziraphale, in that moment, decides that going up there and figuring out for himself what's really going on is the best chance they have of finally stopping all this mess for good and ensuring that everyone and everything he loves will be safe. Even if the person he loves will never forgive him, at least he'll be safe.

In short; Aziraphale knowingly messed up the happy ending to his own love story to ensure everyone else's happy endings.

this bitch

but now that we've opened up the boys/male-presenting entities kissing-on-screen door, i expect a nice happy proper one next season Mr. Gaiman.

or maybe several

[siriusfelis]

Tbh I do enjoy some ships. They’ve grown on me, but only in specific ways. ​I simply don’t feel like posting my doodles of them usually cause I don’t want attention for ship art anymore.

[yudrein-aile]

what if I write a sequel to my Katchian/Yuder/Kishiar fic. what if—

[riddlerosehearts]

i have a fandom blacklisted because i hate the lead actor. my mutual reblogs a post that's apparently tagged with said fandom. i open it out of curiosity. it's some generic yet slightly funny text post that OP just decided to tag with every fandom under the sun!

[exileorexodus]

appreciation post for professional amateurs i am processing yet again how. special the dynamic is. (throws up in my mouth)

i have known both of them since we were children, but only ever online. two of us are the sole reason why the third can even work towards a free future at ALL. we have legitimately undoomed the narrative through our combined efforts. we have all been through our separate journeys and hurdles, only occasionally crossing but always ever present on the outskirts of each other's lives, like a passive supporting brick wall to lean on to catch your breath. we have the same easy discussion and relegation of people who can only find solace in forbidden literary groups, and the same camaraderie as men who have lived and fought in wars together. we do not consider each other like family, or partners at all, but our solidarity as a group excels all of our other relationships without unhealthily drowning out any of them.

we lack co dependency,, but provide eachother with much of the same "safe place to land" as a partner would. we can have freeflow and socially damnable discussions while maintaining being different people with differing worldviews and morals and patterns of thought. we are the living embodiment of "without condoning, nor condemning, i understand."

i would not give these two up for anything in the world, because it simply wouldn;t be worth it.

it boggles my mind that most other people do not have active friendships like this

[microwave-prince]

I dunno. YAPPING HEADS UP YALL. In the whole post and tags and everything.

Hope everyone enjoys the potential influx of drawings that will be hitting this blog once school starts back up for me(in like four days, nearly technically three since this one is almost over with!). I can't promise I'll post everyy little drawing and doodle, but do expect a lot of traditional stuff!!

Perhaps an influx in drabbles or stories too👀

Truthfully, I'm kinda extra excited for it! Something about traditional drawing just feels extra in-control to me with how my lines are gonna turn out and stuff, probably cause I spent so long doing it! Not that I won't miss some perks of digital, haha! Maybe I'll do one of those things sometimes where you draw it traditionally, and then transfer it over to digital for like finalizing it and stuff?🤔 that could be very interesting..

But I haven't gotten to draw my boys a lot, and so I'm quite excited to get to really work out on drawing them and getting them stylized to my art style! Especially to where I can just crank out doodles of them without lookin up images or anything, hehe!! Will I be a complete mess trying to do it? Yes absolutely. Especially with Octavius. Good sir I mean this in the most respectful way possible but REMOVE YOUR CHESTPLATE before it KILLS ME. You are getting de-soldiered treatment, you can keep your red tunic that's all your getting

[hickeygender]

some recent pictures i bought online. i've found quite a lot of pictures of straight couples exchanging clothes, but none of them were posing on a kickass motorcycle with grins on their faces. the poses in the second one were unique and really conveys joy and closeness to me. and the last one of trumpeters napping in a pile in a cemetary is just stunning and so interesting. nothing better than catching some zzz's with your buddies on some graves i guess
