Placing her napkin gracefully on the table, Sloane chuckles as she observes her colleagues enthusiastically discussing the delectable nature of their meal. She wholeheartedly concurs, acknowledging the exceptional quality of the cuisine at High Water. It surprises her that she had never come across this establishment before. Glancing around, she notices a familiar style in the decor, which she vaguely recalls having seen elsewhere. However, she dismisses the thought, attributing it to a mere imitation sourced from Pinterest. "Alright, so who among you will be settling the bill?" Sloane inquires, raising an eyebrow as she presents the check to her companions. Kosisk, her former partner, then takes the check and inserts his credit card into it. "I shall take care of it this time. Thank you for treating me, everyone," he declares, patting detective Frost on the back. Laughter and smiles fill the entire table as they beckon the waitress over. Kosisk expresses his gratitude and requests to convey compliments to the chef. The waitress, Gwen, nods sweetly and departs to fetch the cook. "So, any guesses on the identity of the chef? I wager it's an attractive woman," ventures young detective Rizzoli. Sloane rolls her eyes at this remark, while Frost simply nods in agreement. "Indeed, I can envision that. I bet she possesses captivating blue eyes as well," he adds. Kosisk and Sloane exchange a knowing glance, prompting Sloane to roll her eyes once more, while Kosisk chuckles. Engrossed in the camaraderie of her team, Sloane is abruptly interrupted by the unmistakable sound of a familiar voice. No… it couldn't be… @lucasxroden

[andthebubbles]

well, longer post for the wicked soundtrack (spoilers)

defying gravity: wow i nearly started crying lmao skjfngkfg either i'm in a Mood orrrr... nah i think it's cynthia's voice, she really gets all the emotion out somehow with her voice!! amazing. and it made me remember that i did get teary when i saw the stage show back in 2009. jemma rix, btw <3 (she was still the understudy back then i think?) (i had a crush on her for a bit haha)

anyway atm i'm just listening to all the tracks i usually listen to. first i listened to Dancing Through Life, then The Wizard and I, What Is This Feeling, Popular, I'm Not That Girl, One Short Day, Defying Gravity

oooh the high F sounds good in Defying Gravity (i just got to it (i'm listening and liveblogging/writing this lol))

i assume the new bit inserted into DG will make more sense after watching the movie

anyway, other comments:

one short day: i knew they'd be in it bc i saw spoilers, and i'm not bothered about spoilers/it doesn't dampen my excitement/i don't need to be surprised (someone was kinda rude/offended about it on reddit to someone else, as if everyone thinks the same as them skjfgnfg). anyway, One Short Day, the new bit is another of those moments where it'll make sense once i see the movie. so yeah XD nice to have the og there though

the wizard and i: glorioussss

i'm not that girl: reaaaally nice, then i felt like it got a bit overwrought towards the end BUT i'm sure it'll make more sense when i see the movie

defying gravity (again lol, i cbb trying to slot it back in up top somewhere): there's something about the long held un-vibrato(??) notes in the chorus bit which just get me every time. and because i hadn't heard cynthia's version till now/this is the first time, the whole emotional whatever of it hit me again. fun!! (as an aside i also really like jemma rix's voice, i might go watch the stage version i got off yt again after this)

okay so ariana's songs/voice: they're nice, she sounds a lot like chenoweth, but atm i'm not so into how... unpunchy her delivery is? idk. tentative opinion till i see the movie in about 3 weeks (rather than my usual 4-5 weeks for a movie that i want to see lol (look, i'm eager!!))

oooh now listening to the ozdust duet track! i didn't know what it was till i clicked on it and recognised the music. WOW IT'S SO ROMATICALLY GELPHIE PLS THEY'RE SLOW DANCING YOU CAN'T CONVINCE ME THAT THERE WEREN'T ~AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES~ SHENANIGANS like that beat is basically 80s (?) romance (??) slow dance (???) songs, IDK WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, I WAS CLASSICALLY TRAINED, NOT POPULAR-MUSIC TRAINED (// to clarify/further explain, for some fucking reason my dad didn't let me listen to a lot/any popular music growing up, which he now fucking denies...! so now i'm a lil unsure but like I REMEMBER BEING A TEENAGER and him being like 'this is trash music, they can't sing' and so i had to listen in secret. and for someone who can't stand headphones/earphones (the feel of it), it was hard to listen to things lol. i heard more in primary school because primary school was more music-ey with the concerts and stuff)

anyway MUCH later i'll listen to all the other tracks i never listen to LMAO, i'm actually waiting for a better quality version than what yt can give me, so

aaand i'll add to this as i think of more things. gonna listen to all my fave tracks againnnn

ETA: ehehehe it's officially out at midnight my time!

more ETA

dancing through life: man jb's voice just makes me smile haha // I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM BE A SHALLOW LIL SHITHEAD // i like the new transitions in this, better than the other tracks (just from without seeing the movie yet), i think because there's always a lot of room to move with this one, no pun intended lol

ETA2:

forgot to mention yesterday but i LOVE what they did with the start of One Short Day, because it starts a minor 3rd higher than on the OST and i was like, whaaa are we really transposing it that high? and it (the vocals and stuff) was very nice. and then it dropped down into the usual key, and it just sounded GOOD and it fucked with you a bit. very nice

Beneath Veiled Faces pt.1

Disclaimer: Robin's and Alma's views on vore doesn't reflect mine. Robin may come off as a little preachy in that one monolog, but just keep in mind that they have strong opinions formed from their own life experiences, and Alma has (less strong) opinions from her own. It's no way intended to say that one type of vore is inherently better than another- the reason the pred here gets the come uppance is purely plot armor lmao. Also, I've never been to a bar or had alcohol! Can you tell? XD Content: NSF/W vore, alcohol, intoxication, discussion of consent and ethics, panic attack, anxiety, unwilling vore, fatal digestion, hurt/comfort, secret missions, first meetings, secret identities, background murder, past slavery, not too graphic violence, unnamed female pred and unnamed ambiguous prey. Lots of fucking world building.

Robin scans the room once again, ears straining to listen to the wind from inside the mixed bar. The lights are dim this time of night, most patrons having either left or had one too many. The perfect time for most predators to make their move on people too drunk to properly fight back. Or run.

This area of the city has been struck with a string of disappearances, all prey folk. An obvious new hunting ground for an inexperienced pred. No matter. If they do this right, their target won't get the experience to get away with it smoothly.

The bartender gives them a strange look from across the room. Robin had tucked themself into the back booth, back to the wall, ordering only the occasional food. It was, admittedly, good food. They're obsessed with the cheese-stuffed potato skins and the sweet potato fries covered with some sort of sweet glaze. But they hadn't ordered any alcohol in a bar all night, just using a fork to stuff their face with finger food. And they had just been caught looking too closely at the patrons and the exits.

Stars they must look so suspicious. They just know they've got ‘that look’ in their eyes again, as Cedar keeps pointing out, that gives people the impression that they're ‘staring straight into your soul’. Ugh. Guess it's time to go up to the bar and actually order something, or blow their cover.

They hand over their ID and smile without teeth. The bartender eyes them a moment longer, before handing it back. He's a tall pred folk, one that would tower even above other mortal preds. As it is, Robin's palms start sweating in their gloves from having to almost throw their head back to look him in the eyes. They focus instead on the little enameled pin tucked across his collar, a cutesy little ghost saying ‘boo-mbtastic!’. As they start to read the menu for something light to sip, he speaks up. “I saw you looking around a lot tonight.”

“I'm waiting for someone,” they confess. It's not the whole truth, obviously, but they can't lie even if they wanted to. He chuckles. His voice rough enough it makes them shiver. They hope they're not flushing. “Got stood up, huh?”

They move to shake their head, but stop mid-movement. A sweet scent tickles their nose, and they have to swallow thickly against the sudden flood. The stool next to them shifts as someone slides in.

“Heyyyy bestie, no time no seeee,” the stranger says. A young prey woman sits next to them, swinging her feet and leaning her face in her hands. A faery prey woman. What in the world…?

“I saw you yesterday, Alma. Like I see you every night.” The woman - Alma - hands over her ID and smiles with teeth. Her pink nose is flushed red already, her pupils blown so only a ring of spring green can be seen. Has she been bar hopping? “Are they with you tonight, then? You can't keep leaving your dates hanging. This one's been here all night waiting.”

The other faery looks surprised, before turning her face to where he's gesturing. She looks them up and down, and smirks conspiratorially. “They are now! You don't mind, do you?” Robin shrugs. It doesn't matter to them, although now they'd have to find a way to thank her for saving their ass there. The man raises an eyebrow and mutters something fond under his breath about ‘damn kids, had me worried’.

They both order, and the bartender turns to start preparing the drinks. Robin tilts their head at the faint whisper in the wind. It's something to focus on instead of the way their stomach clenches. They've eaten enough food tonight, they don't need more, and they've just met Alma. That's not how it's supposed to go back in the homeland. And they've had enough of the nontraditional way. Never again.

She studies them over the edge of her glass of wine. Seemingly sizing them up in turn. After a moment, she comes to a decision, and hisses quietly in their mother tongue, words having a strange accent to them. “Y'know, I thought I was the only one on this side of the Veil.” She smiles toothily, swaying some. They resist the urge to grab her arm to steady her.

“Me too.” They take a sip of the sangria they ordered, trying to wash her scent down with another sweet thing. They need a distraction, so they ask the first thing that comes to mind to keep the conversation going, leaving one ear pricked towards the wind. ��What brings you here?”

She snorts. “To the bar or the jungle? Because if it's the first, buddy that's so cliche to ask What's A Pretty Thing Like You Doing In A Place Like This.” Alma giggles as she downs the rest of her wine. She fully turns to face them, leaning her elbow up on the counter not made for her height. Her upright ears flutter, once, twice.

They roll their eyes. “I'm not hitting on you, obviously. You don’t have to answer that if it's personal.”

Alma rolls her eyes right back. She sobers some as she mulls it over. In a hushed tone, she replies, as if anyone happening to be listening could actually understand them. “I'm not the real Alma Florimell. Well, I am but not. It's a whole deal.”

They hum to themself. “Changeling?” They pretend not to be invested in the answer. Truly, how alone must she feel if she was willing to answer a vulnerable question from a stranger? Or drunk. Probably drunk. They shouldn't ask anymore questions like that, then.

“Yeah. Switched at birth and all. Like in a bad comedy drama. I'm lucky that my hosts wanted me even after they realized I'm not normal,” she rambles. The bartender notices that her drink is empty, and she motions for a refill with a muted smile. She sways again. Maybe she's had enough for tonight… They quietly ask for some water in english and push it towards her. “And, well, the real Alma isn't on speaking terms with hers, so I guess I dodged a bullet.”

“You are normal, Alma. Perfectly healthy and average for someone like you, as far as I can tell. And yeah, the plant thing is a little weird, but you're all just weird to me in general.” 

They decide to look around again, instinct telling them that something was off. Nothing was out of the ordinary at a glance, though. Exactly how it was before they got caught. They frown slightly to themself before turning back. They redouble their split focus towards the hunt at hand.

“Whatever…” she brushes off. There's no reason to believe them, afterall. They don't even know why they said that. Robin glances down to their hands. Half the glass is gone somehow. Oops. “Wait, how did you know about that?”

“It's really common. It would be weird if you didn't feel more at home with plants than people.” 

A momentary silence descends between them. Robin scrambles for something to say. They feel dizzy; from the alcohol or from the sweet treat they're talking to, they can't say. Their stomach rumbles in interest at the thought. They shake their head, realizing they're staring. 

It's Alma that breaks the silence. “So, what about you? How’d a windborne end up here? You're not trooping faeries. It must be hard living in a city, especially with no prey. Unless I don't know anything and I should shut up now. No seriously I won't be offended if you tell me to, I ramble all the time, especially when I've had too many. Like now. Yeah.” She sips her water to illustrate the point. The little preything really could talk, huh? Robin likes the sound of her voice, it's deep and smooth, reminding them of Cedar in a strange way. When he's totally relaxed and not nearly soprano from his anxiety. They take out their phone and shoot off a reminder to take his melatonin gummies while they're thinking about him.

Pocketing it, they finally process her words, and freeze. Well, she might not get it, but maybe they can subtly tell her a partial truth so she can draw her own conclusions… They pull up their left sleeve just enough to reveal the old brand curling possessively up their forearm. Their master’s use-name, written in the faery tongue in bold characters. It's an old and ugly memory, but their master’s attendants made sure it healed cleanly. The only apology they could give them as a child freshly ‘acquired’. They don't acknowledge the gasp to their right as they calmly explain, “I'm a free hound, but I can't ever be sure it would stay that way if I went back.”

They pull down their sleeve and fit it back over their glove snuggly. The leather squeaks as they testingly clench their fingers. Stalling, so they don't have to acknowledge the fear Alma is radiating at their side. Her heart is beating so fast, rushing blood close to the surface, making her scent flood the air. It's soured with terror. So dizzy, and shaky, they get up to leave her alone. It's fine. They get it.

Her fingers shoot out and clutch their sleeve. “It's fine! I'm sorry for reacting like this. Give me a minute, you don't have to go!” 

They rip their arm away, baring their fangs in a snarl. Heart hammering, they can't breathe enough air into their lungs, and their world lurches forward from the rush of adrenaline and oxygen deprivation. The stool rushes up to meet them and they cling onto it like a lifeline. Everything blurs out of their awareness for several long moments.

When they come back to themself, their ears are ringing, and the bartender has come from behind the counter and laid them down flat on the ground so they wouldn't crash and bring glass with them. He's speaking softly to them, and someone next to them is guiding them through a breathing exercise. They vaguely recognize it as the same one they use with Cedar when he has attacks. Their ears ring.

Robin is guided back onto the stool, Alma saying something to the bartender, who after a moment retreats to get them a glass of water. She very carefully doesn't touch them, but she does lean forward into their line of sight, pretty lips softly smiling. It doesn't reach her eyes. 

“Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you…”, she murmurs. “I didn't know.”

“I should be the one apologizing. Just. Don't touch me suddenly. Don't grab my arms like that. And we’re golden.” They gulp down their water in one big swallow. “Thanks for helping me through that. You didn’t have to.”

“Yeah I did, idiot. I messed up. I fix it. Thems’ the rules.” She leans back out of their space. “I think I owe you something now, though. For being frightened unnecessarily, and causing a situation where you'd panic.”

“You don't owe me anything. It's fine. It's over, and it was an understandable reaction to that. It's fine.”

She tilts her head, regarding them thoughtfully. “What about dinner? You don't seem like you've gotten enough to eat recently. Your presence is weaker than I know it should be. Or well, it's late for dinner. I could be dessert?”

Robin bites back the first three answers. They are not going to make decisions with their stomach, thank you very much. “Don't offer me your body out of a perceived obligation. That's weird. I would be weird for saying yes to that.”

She flusters. “Hey, don't talk about it like it's sex! And it's not obligation! I thought, maybe, that you would be tempted if I said it like that. To be honest, I just want to disappear right now. Be far away from everything. I don't know, the chiropractor is too expensive. I need to get factory reset and no one is biting. It's just fulfilling a need for eachother. And yeah, I am sorry for earlier. I know bloodhounds don't get a choice in what the person on the other end of the leash makes you do. It was irrational. You'd have torn my throat out already if you were still under someone's thumb. And I know that I get the munchies after a panic attack, I thought that it would probably be welcome to offer you a meal.”

They hum in thought for a moment, choosing their words carefully. “It's not inherently sex, you're right. But I need to approach it like it is. It's a lot of the same questions about consent and autonomy about our bodies. It's not like here in the mortal realm, they die from this all the time. They can't have a culture around respecting a prey as a person in the same way we can. It's inherently intimate, at least for me. You're both food and a person, but here it's food or a person. It's so strange to think about it like that. It feels wrong.” They shiver in disgust at the mere thought. “So following that logic, I'm pretty sure we're both too intoxicated to be making that decision right now.”

Alma’s voice turns teasing. “You've had literally one drink. You're not that much of a lightweight, are you?”

“Guilty as charged. It's the bird bones. Can't be too heavy to fly and all.” They smirk. “Who knew hollow bones were bad at making blood, too?”

“Oh boy. Let's hope you never have to go to the ER!”

“Yeah. Let's hope.”

They settle once again into a comfortable silence. At some point they relocate to the booth Robin had claimed earlier. Alma ends up ordering 3 more wines, and they show her the magic of the glazed sweet potato fries. She teases them for eating fries with a fork, and they dare her to wrap her hands in napkins and not get any grease or glaze on them. She fails spectacularly, over and over, until Robin can't breathe because they're laughing too hard. She playfully kicks under the table.

While they're having fun in good company, the other preds at the bar watch in curiosity. Some had been concerned earlier, when the short one had keeled over. Some were watching with bated breath, placing bets on when the little pred was going to stop playing with their food and eat the tiny prey. In anticipation or cynical worry.

And one was thinking to herself that the little pred was weak. That together with the tiny preything, they'd make a filling meal. The tiny prey was drunk, it wouldn't put up much fight. Couldn't walk, let alone run, so all she had to do was swallow the other one first. Oh yes. It looked so tasty. She hoped her prey paired well with the margarita she's been nursing the whole night. 

Her stomach burbled in interest at the thought of dinner tonight. Or perhaps, that was last night's prey still processing. Such a pretty thing, so trusting. It filled her up nice and good. She went home with a squirming gut that night, and put her favorite soap operas on. Rubbed her belly as it purred, bubbling and churning in delight as the little thing screamed for help. Slowly being drowned out by her massive gut roaring to life, thrashing getting weaker as her stomach clenched and melted her prey into nothing. Gods, she can't get enough of it. Truly, this was what she's been missing out on?

She follows them out after they split the bill, and the little pred helps the tiny one walk. They stagger a few times, and the two stop for a moment so the tiny one can bend over a bush. She hears them hiss quiet words to eachother in a language she's never heard before. They sound like snakes, but if snakes were Italian. How interesting.

She slips unnoticed past them with a casual walk. An alleyway was only a bit ahead, where they'd have to pass to call a taxi home. Perfect. Now, just to wait.

Robin sighs in relief as nothing ends up coming up. It's been a long night for Alma by the looks of it, and they mentally prepare to get strange looks from the taxi driver as they carry a nearly blackout drunk preygirl home. She'd probably be fine on her own, seeing as faery prey are fighters when they don't like what's happening. Vicious things. But it's rained recently, and if she passes out in a puddle…

The hunt tonight was fruitless so far. Well, maybe they could take Alma home and come back to continue. The predator has been attacking in a circular pattern across the city, Missing Persons last being seen at a bar and disappearing after the establishment closes, or after they leave. So the culprit is choosing the victims inside the building. 

Of course, serial killers or traffickers aren't entirely ruled out. But the broken antler pieces left in alleys suggest an amatuer predator breaking off the natural defenses of their prey, not wise enough yet to remember to clean up afterwards. Or someone clever enough to make it look like a predator attack to throw off investigators. Not that the police have been any kind of useful to a simple case like this so far. That's why they have to step in now.

They curse their circumstances in their head. If only there were more faery prey - willing prey - they wouldn't have heard about this so late. The wind would've carried the screams for help to them from anywhere in the world. But the longer they go without eating, the more the wind fades from their awareness, the harder it is to maintain the glamour that safely hides away their wings in a pocket dimension. They haven't eaten prey since they were a teenager…

They slowly lead Alma away from the bush as she straightens back up. The designated area for the taxi was just ahead, a little alley between them and the waiting bench.

Someone grabs the back of their shirt and yanks. They feel their body be pulled back into the shadows, reflexively letting go of Alma in the process. Adrenaline shoots up their spine. Something wet hits their face - drool - and they instinctively twist around in the grip of their captor. The attacker is over powered, or caught off guard by their strength, and loses some of their hold on them. Robin strikes out where they're guessing the face is of the predator, and tries not to grin when they feel a crack underneath their fist. They've struck true once again.

The person goes flying. They watch as they - she, bounces off the side of a dumpster and lands on her knees. A vindictive, predatory part of themself purrs in satisfaction in seeing their target brought low. She groans. Growls some generic insult. Or threat. They don't really care what she has to say.

“Found you,” Robin breathes, and Alma slurs. The prey woman leaning on the opposite wall wastes no time in reaching into seemingly nowhere and bringing forth five long purple needles. She throws them. One lands in the dirt by the target’s feet, one in the brick wall, two in the metal, and one strikes true into the predator’s engorged gut. They feel sick as they watch the flesh wobble on impact. The woman goes limp almost instantly.

Robin eyes her for a moment before turning their head to stare at Alma. “What do you mean, ‘found you’?!” They once again say in unison. They shake their head. “You first.”

“I ho arouuund,and…*hic* smell nice. It makes them. It makes them want meeee. So I figired, I've got Para. The stiff that makes you jot move. I trick em into eating it along with me if they're gonna just *hic* take meeee.” Alma rambles. “Yooou turn”

“...I go around and find predators that don't take no for an answer. And I make them take no for an answer.”

“Ohhh you're the killlllerrr. Cooooool”

 “And you’re the cause behind preds becoming paralyzed suddenly. Nice.”

“Yeaaah” She slowly sinks down the wall, and Robin moves to help her up. “I wanna go home now.”

The adrenaline is slowly starting to wear off, and the exhaustion setting in. Robin is tired down to their bones after tonight. All in all a successful hunt, with a new ally/friend to boot, but they've done more emotional work tonight than they have since the night they ran. “Yeah. Let's go home.”

Two taxi rides, a deadweight girl on their back up a flight of stairs, and a worried phone call later, Robin is closing their own apartment door behind them. They're asleep in Cedar’s bed before their head hits the pillow.

name : luna

pronouns :  she/her

preference of communication : discord (ask if you want it!)

most active muse : literally i only got the one... but i will say that i am v e r y obsessed with her jjk verse these days!

experience / how many years : welp, i started on neopets when i was 9 or 10 years old... and i'm turning 32 this year in august, so. xD i was on everything man. does anyone remember avidgamers??? that eventually became like... acornsomething and then spleafnet? anyway. i migrated all over the place, wherever i could find that good rp.

best experience : this is definitely my best experience, playing vartouhi. there was a 'sweet spot' rping her a few years back where she got a lot of curious asks all the time... i would love to get more asks so i think that is the absolute 'best' experience i've had.

rp pet peeves : this. it's not as much of a problem anymore THANK GOD but man, that was a really frustrating time of rp. also, when people would use vartouhi for feels to pass the time, and then when they got into a ship they really wanted, they wouldn't bother with her anymore. like not even entertain platonic stuff. it was shitty.

fluff, angst, or smut : i need all three but in order of most rabid for it to least rabid for it (lol): angst, smut, fluff. angst it like leagues ahead of smut and fluff, and then smut and fluff are really close together, like almost neck-and-neck. but yeah man there's nothing more satisfying than that catharsis you get when you're writing and crying while you write 'cause it's so angsty lol.

plots or memes : memes!!!!!!!! PLEASE I BEG send me memes. i may not get to them right away (or quickly......... >_>) but i love having to take a prompt and make something with it!

long or short replies : in-between. altho i will say i tend to ramble about this or that, so my replies do often become longer than i intend.

time to write : in the daytime, which these days translates to "during work" lmao. i'm very blessed in that what i do for work mon-fri is usually so chill and slow that i can write! sundays not so much lol.

are you like your muses : you know, i once made the observation that a lot of vartouhi's struggles mirrored my own. not feeling good enough, trying to cultivate self-love, searching for a place to call 'home'... by no means is she a self-insert because we're very different lol, for example she's infj and i'm estj, but there are some overlapping things, like we're both very honest.

assigning the coffee bean gang (in my au where they start college in 2005) actual phones instead of vaguely describing random phones for 2004-2006 stuff

(also laptops) (unnecessarily in-depth)

considering i'm on 2007 now in terms of plot i prob should have done 2007 instead but peter's going to be using his (prepaid/for emergencies) Nokia until the heat death of the universe probably (or at least until it can no longer connect to networks) (unless... he IS getting a BS in engineering...) (no jk i'm sure the fantastic four will hook him up when they give him a suit in 2016) so that's really nbd.

peter's Nokia is obviously an affordable phone designed to be no-frills, durable, and also designed for use with prepaid cards apparently (at least according to wikipedia) so i figured that would fit. it's not the notoriously indestructible 3310 but it's close enough considering most of their phones, including this one, have a reputation for durability, so, also important for a man like peter lol

i picked flash's cause it looked cute and seemed affordable... Like yeah I can see a jocky little closeted queer in 2004 getting that... I just think it looks nice and i can see him using it for a bit. also cause i wanted him to have a flip phone.

MJ's is FLASHY and when i saw it i was like she HAS to have this—the cover is customizable too so it's like. okay. girl. yes. it seems like it comes in other colors, though it was unclear to me which were available in the US, but the white and blue seems like the most common/popular color option and also the other options were all either black/navy/boring or else... blue and red... and as funny as it would be to give MJ a spider-man colored phone i didn't want to do that XD though the white and blue gives me huge johnny storm/fantastic four vibes.

i didn't mean to give all the poor kids Nokias but it turns out that there were not a whole lot of companies making cellphones in the mid 2000s and nokia has a lot of entry-level/affordable phones lol

harry gets the high end sony phone: a fancy camera phone (k700) that he then replaces with that nifty-looking sony walkman swivel phone in the beginning of 2006. plus the white and orange color scheme suits him imo and he seems like he (and mj) would be the most hip to music.

i also didn't intend to give gwen and harry both the same brand of phone but when i saw the z500a i was like... that's JUST "what if gwen was turned into a phone" lmao like the round shapes... the blue color... there she is. and it seems reasonably priced but not cheapo which seems about right for gwen.

i also decided that in the end of 2005 Norman is either gifted (you know, like corporate networking gifts between CEOs) or buys himself a Samsung, Bang & Olufsen Serene phone, which is a very strange, square, business-oriented fashion phone indeed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serene_(phone)

also it's $1275 which. For a regular clamshell camera phone... IS insane. But it is form over function and he doesn't exactly use it for texting or photos. It's only for calls. Also it's European.

idk if it was ever available in the states but he's norman osborn, he can do whatever the fuck he wants

As far as computers, BOY it was HARD to figure out which laptops were available at what price points in the mid 2000s cause basically everything prior to 2006 on the wayback machine was just not archived all the way or redirected to errors 💀 i spent way too long trying to find a good laptop for flash than is reasonable for something that gets mentioned only every once in a while.

Peter doesn't have a laptop yet, I'm still figuring out when I want him to get one. He's taking some programming classes, but his focus is on materials science and shit like thermodynamics so honestly I think he can scrape by using the school computers and computer labs. I was thinking possibly 2010, especially since he actually has a job then (well, it's part time, but it's more stable than the Bugle stuff on its own) Peter's only source of money from 2005-2009 is like... student loans and Bugle freelance so I'm like, eh.

but for Flash I decided he would have an Acer Aspire, NOT because I have one, because I fucking hate this thing, but because it was the cheapest one I could find scouring the wayback machine mostly fruitlessly. Like. I THINK it's a <$700 laptop. but also. I'm really not sure.

so Flash's dad gets him a 15" Acer Aspire 3000 for his birthday a few months before the gang starts college, so that's the computer Peter is using half of freshman year since Flash lets him borrow it. It's ugly but that's not the point. My main goal for Flash's laptop was "cheap as fuck" cause it may be a birthday present but there's no way his dad paid out the ass for a laptop for his idiot son

Gwen gets a 12" Apple iBook G4 (late 2004). So it's just like. white. The compact size and stuff seems like it would suit her, though the internet says the ibooks had a lot of... problems. I considered giving her a more sciencey laptop but this was a christmas present she got in senior year of high school and her original plan IS a nursing degree so I figure she would just use whatever mid-to-high end computer and she just seems like an apple girlie to me

this was, by the way, apparently Apple's "budget" laptop. But the thing about budget laptops in 2005 was that apparently they were all still $1000. lmao, sorry, "$999."

anyway

Harry gets something EXPENSIVE. And I know what you're thinking—he's a macbook boy right? Well, no, because those didn't exist in 2005. And he's got this GOAL right? He wants to impress his dad, he wants to be Smart like Gwen and Peter, he wants to be the STEM Student with a STEM Student Computer.

So Harry gets a 14" IBM ThinkPad T43.

Which also happened to cost over $2000.

I know that's like, well shouldn't PETER, the ENGINEERING student have that but Peter is poor. Peter is not buying a $2000+ business laptop with a *checks notes* built-in fingerprint reader.

Later on after macbooks are invented (in 2006) and harry is out of college (in 2009) he's definitely going to be the type of person who owns a macbook, and when they introduce rose gold (in 2016) you know he'll be all over that. the ThinkPad is just not very stylish or his speed at all. he's an artist at heart being pushed into a STEM box.

Also at home, he DOES have an iMac. Specifically a PowerMac G5.

Why did I pick that one? Simple: it was the most expensive one i could see on apple's website in the wayback machine.

god apple keyboards are so fucking tiny.

MJ also doesn't have a laptop for similar reasons as Peter (they're fucking expensive and she's poor) but I'm considering giving her one of those compact mini computers in 2006, like, oh you have two phones? No it's actually a PSP—sorry I mean a pocket computer based on PSP technology lmao

talkin about the Sony Mylo COM-1:

LOOK AT IT. It's too groovy not to give her.

also it's cheaper than a laptop by at LEAST $400, and doesn't need a phone plan or anything so it seems like it would be of use to her for instant messaging and stuff. she still has a phone though. she just also has a not-phone-technically-computer that looks exactly like a phone. actually idk if this thing can send calls... did they have wifi calling in 2006? i think so... well either way.

ah, clearly time well spent today.

still don't know when or what kind of computer peter gets. i think i'll just have him build a PC or something later on, when he's in grad school, or maybe a netbook

update: harry is going to buy a macbook air in 2008 and give his thinkpad to peter who will use it until it breaks (and (free?) upgrade it to windows 7 but still be using office 2003 in 2010, as well as having a linux stick cause he's that kind of nerd, and probably openoffice.org) -

BUT I'm still having him build a compact PC in 2010 with hobie's help that should cost <$400 and will run Ubuntu (because he's THAT kind of fucking nerd) (and because Ubuntu is free, otherwise this would not be a <$400 pc) that he mostly uses for homework in his masters program, watching porn—i mean movies, and light stuff, though possibly also may have some kind of CAD software as well... cannot run games but peter isn't a gamer anyway. he's not even much of a programmer or 3d modeler tbh (though he DOES do these things intermittently for spidey stuff)... but being able to do homework at home instead of the library has its upsides (plus he can still use the laptop harry gave him when he's out of the house so he doesn't need to rely on library or computer lab for word processing etc.)

(also he does analog film photography but being able to edit scans of his photos at home is a nice luxury)

i loved training sessions though; we'd run around the track and whoever finishes first would get to skip push-ups. my childish satisfaction leaving everyone else on the field, stretch and cool down as they finished their laps and *then* going back to the training area to start doing push-ups immediately, screaming from exhaustion 💀 it was pure sadistic joy i say. they were all boys too so it was fun crushing their pride LMAO this is way longer than i intended but i just had to share this detail xD

yeah, they kinda lost whatever grayness there was when they turned Belos into Godzilla lol

"huh? what do you mean Belos is the way he is because of his upbringing, with him growing up only around people who were all telling him that witches are pure evil? nahhhhhh bro, he's just always been evil lmao XD! he never cared about anything, certainly not about his brother! it's not like he went to BI in the first place to rescue his brother, who Philip thought got kidnapped by the same witches he was taught to hate since childhood. nahhh, he ain't even got a brother, dude! Caleb who? never heard of him!"

I feel like this line would work better if the Titan said something like "Belos' goal isn't coming from a genuine place, not anymore. Whatever genuineness was there before is gone now (since, y'know, now he's Godzilla) – that man doesn't care about anything but his need to be the hero of his own delusions/warped worldviews". to kinda show that he at least used to do this because he genuinely believed he was saving humanity, since that's what he was taught as a child, that "witches = bad". but over time, the longer he lived in BI, trying to control its people and consuming all those palismen, the more his mind and that original goal started to warp (sorta similar to what was said in your post), and eventually it just turned into him wanting to be "the hero of his own delusion", as Titan put it. hell, when I think of it, the way I described Belos makes him kinda sound like Walter White – someone who started to cook meth to earn money for his financially struggling family, a genuine goal, but the more he spent doing it, the more his pride and ego started to get the better of him, until eventually "I did it for my family" turned into "I did it for me".

I mean, I don't expect a Disney show intended for children to have Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul levels of moral grayness, but I don't expect them to make everything black and white either. I don't think that kids are dumb – they may not understand everything (because, well, they're kids, they're still young), but the whole "black and white" thing isn't needed either – you gotta show them that there's nuance in a lot of things in life, and that it's not as simple as "this person is bad because they were born bad" and "this person is good because they were born good".

The Owl House Critical Post, scroll away now I don't know if I am being too harsh in this post but I wrote it anyway so if you don't wanna read something potentially upsetting this is a warning (to those who decide to read please tell me if I'm being too harsh)

I remember initially hating how the show handled its villains, they all felt like jokes, they never felt like threats or like they provided a meaningful challenges for the main cast, they never had any real depth or complexity. but i bit my tongue, I was told that I was basically a dumbass for complaining that Bump openly breaks a law that's supposed to be punishable by death so that Luz could fulfill her witchy fantasy and that he wasn't arrested. the show could've had him make the multiclass student thing be something underground- boom it lets luz live out her fantasy but doesn't ignore what was established about the setting and creates potential stakes if these underground classes ever got discovered! That already made me angry but the cult thing is what I wanted to complain about- i only had basic ass knowledge about cults and TOH fails at portraying that crap, most people in the EC can just quit and do so in a way that makes it feel like they're just quitting a job, it doesn't feel like they fear losing their friends or sense belonging and community, they don't feel like they're anything but jokes. Leaving a cult is scary, often times cults will send their followers into the real world and set them up to have bad experiences so they'll come running back, they'll hire thugs to scare them into staying or position them in away so that they suffer (sending them out without money or the skills to survive), they humiliate those who begin to ask questions so that they stay in line. guilt tripping, putting members against each other, cutting off contact with the rest of the world! The show only adds the whole 'forced to fight on a mountain' thing for flavor! Everytime it brings up actual stuff cults do it feels like it's more for flavor than actually writing this topic with sensitivity- look at how they treat Lilith! Imo It feels like the show insulting people for ever trusting belos, treating them like they're braindead and could've just realized fairly easily that he was evil. It's the most egregious with hunter who was basically fucking born into the EC. the show is also pretty black and white, which is curious for a show that gets praise for its portrayal of religious trauma. You think the show would be more grey. I did deeper research into cults and just got SO tired of people talking about how good the show was at conveying such a heavy topic. The titan reveal also doesn't help- Luz is told by an all powerful deity that she is the chosen one basically and is told that old man is evil and needs to go down- isn't that the same justification that belos uses for his actions- not saying belos should've gotten redemption or forgiveness but this feels wrong. He deserved to die don't get me wrong but using this justification feels gross. What's even worse is that the titan made Philip's life harder on purpose- ah yeah that brainwashed cult victim would totally change his mind especially if you make his life harder- yeah I would've preferred if belos was depicted in a flashback just having a bad time on the boiling isles and cherry picked those bad experiences to justify his actions. Also I hate that the show just writes belos off as greedy and glory seeking when it could've conveyed a message about how people can get absolutely get warped by religious dogma. I do wonder though if I'm being too harsh because TOH is for kids and I was told it would be hard to portray this stuff in a way kids could understand. I can come up with ways to make the breaking the law openly thing less egregious but I am struggling to think of ways the show could have handled the cult thing, I am aware that maybe I'm accidentally saying stuff that is kind of bad faith but this is my truth. I feel like TOH wasn't good at villains and it sure as hell didn't write cults well

howdy🤠

how about a high-school au? bad boy tony coaxing peter to skip class so they can make out in the back of tony’s car🥰

Ooooo that's wholesome I love it! <3 We love some high-school au's! <3 Also if you all understand why I chose the type of car Tony has, I love you xD <3 ALSO pt 2. It turned out longer than I had intended and I am sorry lmao --------------------------------------------------------- "I gotta go to class." Peter smiled some as he closed his locker and hugged his books to his chest. His eyes fell on the boy he'd been chatting with. Tony Stark was new to Midtown High this year and he's already made a huge impression with his personality. Some loved it, some hated it. Peter? He thought it was... charming. "Class? Really?" Tony groaned, shoving his hands into the pockets of his black leather jacket that he wore over his Black Sabbath T-shirt. "Pete, we're the smarted guys in this place. I think skipping one class will be fine." He encouraged, tongue tracing along his bottom lip as his eyes scanned Peter's body language. It was easy to tell he was anxious about skipping. "I know, Tony, but If I skip won't the school call my aunt?" The doe-eyed boy was worried about disappointing his aunt by receiving a call like that... "So what? Just tell her the teacher didn't see you raise your hand or something. You think she's gonna believe the school over her perfect little nephew?" Tony grinned and pulled his arm around Peter's shoulders as they walked. "I'm an awful liar! You know that. I'll get nervous and say the wrong thing..." He pouted and worried at his bottom lip, fingers drumming the back of his textbooks. But Peter did want to spend time with Tony! Maybe skipping one class couldn't hurt... "Actually... o-okay... Yeah... Let's do it... But where do we go?" Peter asked, raising a brow. Tony was one step ahead of Peter, keeping his arm draped around the other boy's shoulder as he guided him to the cafeteria so they could go out the back door to the student parking lot. "We can go to my car." He insisted, bringing his newfound friend to his old black 1967 Chevy Impala. Tony might come from money, but he loved classic cars more than new cars. As the two got into the car Peter set his books in the back and turned to Tony, admiring how good he looked. He didn't know what came over him, or what warranted it, but soon their lips were locked in a slow kiss. Tony hummed softly and brought a hand up to cup Peter's cheek in his hand, pulling his bottom lip between his teeth. "You have no idea how long I've been waiting for you to skip with me.." He chuckled softly, thumb skating across Peter's blushing cheek before he closed the space between them again. Peter had never really kissed anyone before, so he followed Tony's lead since he seemed to really know what he was doing. His lips parted some when he felt the other boy's tongue seeking entrance and followed his lead. It was slow, deep, and Peter didn't even care how much time had passed as he was slowly guided onto the other's lap to be closer. "You're a real good kisser, Peter Parker," Tony said with a fond chuckle before closing the space once more. He had Peter Parker, and he wasn't ready to let him go yet. Not even when he heard the bell ring faintly in the distance.

[shtern-and-art]

I have more questions because it's no longer 4am lmao.

Does Skeppy fear any animals? I just wanna know if there's any sweet moments of Skeppy clinging to Bad whilst he tries to calm him down.

I'm guessing Bad still hates things like littering and woodcutters but would he ever act particularly strongly about it or would he have more control?

I like how Rat seems to tolerate Skeppy because Bad likes him but would she ever get jealous if Skeppy started pettting another dog?

I have a horrifying image of Bad just spider climbing up a tree to fetch Skeppy. I don't know why but I feel like dude wouldn't even need branches lmao.

What other supernatural creatures/people do they come across? Were there any that were especially dangerous and did they befriend any?

Is Bad much physically stronger than Skeppy? I keep thinking of Skeppy being a little shaz and Bad just one-arm picking him up and slinging him over his shoulder XD.

Does Bad ever get nightmares of the day he became the forest spirit?

How far would Skeppy take stealing? Would he steal something he knows the owner has genuine attachment to? Would he do everything in his power to steal something for Bad even if it means getting hurt?

Who's more likely to protect the other?

Skeppy just minding his business looking at one of Bad's textbooks, turns his head and Bad's just having a tea party with a freaking bear. Surprised the man hasn't had a heart attack yet XD.

What's your favourite thing to imagine them doing?

Is Bsd an adrenaline junky? Or is he scared of more dangerous things like bungee jumping and mountain climbing.

What would their reactions be to rollercoasters?

Do they have a favourite date-night activity?

Everytime I think of this au it brightens my mood!! Thank you for making something so heartwarming!! <3

Glad to see you again :D And yaay, questions!

My pen pressure broke again, I can't finish any sketches for this ask rn, but here's a couple of old messy designs.

1) Comforting and nightmares

Skeppy has a normal, I’d even say adequate level of fear towards wild animals, whilst Bad has it in negative numbers. And, yes, this fun juxtaposition leads to a lot of unfortunate moments of Skeppy nearly dying from heart attack when some of Bad’s animal friends show up unexpectedly, or Bad goes all out for his tea-parties with wild bears or smth.

So, yes, sometimes the comforting hugs are necessary! And no, none of them ever play up the dramaticness of the situation just to drag out the nice comforting moment They do n o t. That’d be very silly and unnecessary, and will deserve a lot of teasing. So, it’s all serious. Not only for the first couple minutes. Yes.

But If you’re looking for comfort-after-actual-hurt – Bad does have to hold and comfort Skeppy, when the stress of trying to not fuck up the good stuff around him gets too strong. And after the nightmares where they are hated and chased by people. Those dreams do not come often, but when they do, Bad is there to hold Skeppy, whisper in his hair that he is alright, that they’re both alright, and that they can handle everything that’s going on right now.

And Bad himself, well. After leaving the town, his nightmares about the night of the ritual stopped almost completely. They come rarely, only when the anxiety gets really bad. Before, in the forest, Bad had them pretty often. It’s one of the reasons he mostly slept not as himself, but in the minds of the animals.

2) Littering

Bad will not maim someone for not getting a candy wrapper in a trashcan, especially if there are people around. But if someone leaves a big mess in the nature, or even (*gasp*) does it regularly, Bad can and will try and teach them a lesson. As in: pull a cautionary (and probably slightly terrifying) prank on the misbehaving person.

It doesn’t always work out as Bad intended, and may even scare some people off anything relating to nature for good, but, according to Bad, it’s still “a fun and useful little hobby to have :3”.

3) Rat

Rat takes a looong time to warm up to any other animals that infringe on her territory. And Skeppy might be a little shit (and his own rights for Bad are debatable) but he is Rat’s territory still (by approximation from Bad). So, she can gatekeep Skeppy a little bit. Not as much as she does Bad, but the man gotta know his place – Rat comes before other dogs for him too.

4) Tree climbing and strength

Oh, Bad can an will climb down a tree like a full-on creepy creature he is: head down, using only his claws, with Skeppy tucked under one arm. Maybe not even upside down, if Skeppy is lucky, and wasn’t too annoying about wanting to stay up on the tree for the night :D

5) Meeting other spn creatures

Oh, that’s a big question (: Yes, they do meet other cryptids, befriend some, and get in trouble with some, and deal with a handful of new and old spn troubles :D

I always thought that Bad and Skeppy’s life after the main story can make a series of short stories (or one big episodic one) dealing with exactly that: the guys traveling around, meeting other cryptids, learning more about themselves and the world, trying to build a life between human and supernatural crisis going on. Just like In The Dark it can based on the mix between the real life and the minecraft-verse events.

I wanted to focus more on finishing the main story first, though, so these stories are not as sought through, I didn’t even write down any of them yet :D

But if you have more concrete questions, ideas, or suggestions (about a specific person, or a specific thing happening) – write me, I’ll think about it, and how it can work with the theme and worldbuilding I have in mind.

6) Stealing + Protectiveness

Skeppy can sometimes forget about, ahem, moral principles, or human decency… emphasis oh “human”. He’s nature and different worldview it gives, it seeps through in his life and actions even more with age. Especially after he’s been away from actual people for a long while. So, I guess, he might at times steal something that is very important to someone, or do something that could be considered weird or rude in general.

And if Bad really needs something, or is in danger – all rules are down. If there is no one to reality check Skeppy, he might proceed to walk on heads, and commit risky and reckless crimes just to help or save Bad.

They both are quite bad with that, the protecting each other thing. Bad, tho, can be more fiscally violent in his protectiveness.

7) Adrenaline and rollercoasters

Well, it’s not that Bad likes adrenaline specifically, he’s just very curious, likes to try new things, and is almost unkillable. So he can just- just go for everything that’s interesting for him with reckless abandon, and if it goes wrong – welp. Bones can heal limbs can regrow, and the cool abandoned caves will not explore themselves. He’ll have to learn to ease up with lack of selfcare though. Because Bad can’t always leave Skeppy to fend for himself, while he heals, and Skeppy does NOT like seeing Bad getting hurt so much, and not caring about himself at all.

This probably comes back to Bad dealing with his spn nature and learning to make peace between it and himself. And to his anxiety, and unhealthy coping mechanisms.

And hey, it’s the same for Skeppy and his lack of adequate moral compass at times :D

There will be a lot of tension and growing they’d have to do in regards to all this.

Also Skeppy is the one who’s really into chasing the thrills :D Man spent nearly half a year annoying probably-murderous-forest-spirit just for little not-boring fun, jeez :DD

Rollercoasters are a no go, tho. They go up in the air, real high, and, once again, Skeppy and highs do not mix, they do not mingle, they will not have tea parties (with or without bears). Unless, of course, Skeppy really needs to prove something. Then he’ll go on a ride, and die an honorable death, and will never admit he screamed all the way through it.

8) Dates

(*insert an innuendo from Skeppy here*) But, ahm, actually I’d say they love going on picnics: getting food, and hanging around in the nature for a while.

And I honestly donno what I like to think about the most… I just really enjoy the vibe and the atmosphere of the whole story, and how Bad and Skeppy interact in general.

It all is a real delight to write about :D

Fuck this man got more hot okay

I didn't even think it was possible lol

Yeah so you both go to Toronto for his work because you don't wanna be separated from each other 🥺

Literally all you do is sleep and eat and read

You cook new things everyday

You have to make the best of the time you have anyway

It's mostly him cooking cuz god knows if this man can cook or not lmao

Daily routine may include but not necessarily limited to :

Waking up late

He wakes up early to workout

Sometimes you pretend to sleep just to see him workout ;)

Then you both shower together

And read while cuddling on the couch

When the sunlight shows up you both move to the sofa and continue reading

Running your hands through his hair which is now a lil longer than the buzz cut tg

Giving each other massages

Mainly you giving him massages

Napping together

Tracing his biceps

Cuz he has never had them and you just wanna appreciate the effort he put in to make them bigger

Making his protein shake much more consumable than what ever the hell he does

You try and bake stuff for the cast and crew to take once the quarantine is over

How well it turns out is all you and your baking skills sis

You try to make boba

Doesn't come out great cuz it's difficult to make

You try and distract him from his zoom table reads lol

And you fail 💀

Cuz he ignores you :(

But as soon as he closes his laptop he runs to you and kisses your face all over till you start to giggle cuz this man's is a simp for you

See. You are young people with needs

NSFW

He has more needs 😉

So he tries to get his freak on as many times as he can

Before going to bed

On the sofa

The couch

The kitchen table

The shower

The fucking floor (pun intended)

Whenever he gets bored from reading or wants to take a break,

Make out sessions

sO MANY of em

Even if all you want is a kiss, he's like no, no you don't

And BAM

Y'all make out till you can't breathe anymore

Biting his lip

Biting his ear

Chewing on his gold chain

Pulling his gold chain

Are a few highlights 🤤

And just imagine him running his hands up and down you

Like your waist and hips and butt and back and boobs and stuff uk

That freaky shit XD

He just can't get enough of you

Watching movies before falling asleep

Well trying to

Because he can't keep his hands to himself

Lingering touches that seem innocent but are not

I feel like his fave cuddle positions are when either you or him are laying in the other's lap

Or when your back is pressed to his chest

That's mainly when he gets handsy

Runs his fingertips through your hair and shoulders and down your hand till he reaches you palm

Pulls it back and kisses the back of it and intertwines his fingers with yours brb crying

Kisses and licks your neck when you are sitting like that

You can literally feel those fangs scarping your skin

It's just plain hot

NSFW over

Tries to put his face in the crook of your neck often

You whine cuz his non existent beard is prickly

But he does it anyway cuz it's cute and he knows it

Taking tons and tons and TONS of selfies

Sending them to his fam

Them being oh so adorable and loving your relationship

You kiss his jaw a lot

Cuz it's sharper now and that's also probably the height you can reach anyway (Calling all short ones out here ✌🏽)

Having deep talks too if you have time left after all of this lol

And everyday falling in love all over and over

If you've been dating for a while, he probably decides to propose as soon as he finds a ring worthy of you 🥺

Since he wakes up before you, he will definitely stare at you while you sleep

Baby boy might even tear up thinking that he can never love anyone as much as you 😭

And you feel the same way

Honestly all this is that goddamn insta story's fault.

Look at him 🥵

Update: He can't cook even if his life depended on it 😂😭 It's okay babe I can cook for you XD.

about hobbies and passion

Sometimes I feel really dumb. I mean, I know I'm not. But I feel as if I am not really... good? Like, hobbies. I tried so many different activities during the years. Painting, sewing, drawing, writing, playing the guitar, dancing, editing. I even tried cosplaying once. And I'm just not good at anything. You know that rush you get when you feel like something is right for you? I don't have that. I don't know if I ever will. I want it. I am just tired of feeling unsufficient and stupid.

I am finishing grad school and I have no idea what my passion is. I just wanted to feel good doing things for me and not to attend a purpose (such as making money). I am sick of trying and trying and trying and just feeling bad all the time. Believe me, I tried. I don't quit when things get hard. I just get sick of spending months, even years, doing things that I don't connect to, and that makes me feel like a potato.

Hobbies are hobbies because doing them brings you joy. If you go into a hobby thinking that you need to be good at it in order to enjoy it, you won't maintain your interest in it for very long because you're not going into it not for the hobby itself, but to find a passion. Did you try all those activities because you had an interest in them and were happy doing them? Or did you do it so you could have something to call your passion, to find your "thing"?

When I enjoy my hobbies, it is a feeling of desire. I want to do it. It is how I want to spend my time. Some might find it not "productive" or "useful", but for me hobbies are for fun. Even if I am frustrated or annoyed (maybe if something isn't turning out as intended), I simply put it down and move onto something else for the day. It's unrealistic to think that every time you will enjoy every single second of your hobby. Some days you won't enjoy it and that is okay. You can always change it up and try a different variation of said hobby. You can stop at any time and leave a hobby for any length of time if it no longer feels like it brings you happiness.

What does it mean to be good at things? Is it when others tell you that you are good at it? Is it when you feel that you are better than others at doing that thing? Or is it when you feel satisfied in what you have done, because of the end product or because the process you went through was efficient? Or is it something else?

And

Why do we feel any need at all to be "good" at something?

The things that are "right" for me, I picked them to be the "right" things. I was shit at writing when I started. Absolute hot garbage. I'm glad I lost all those files so I never have to be ashamed rereading them LMAO I had years when I wrote a lot, years where I didn't write at all. The first couple years I had sex? In comparision to now, probably trash. XD I always had a high sex drive (lol) but I didn't always have the chance or right partner to improve with. Been gaming for years. I'm not a "pro" at any of the games I'm interested in.

In all three things, people would say I'm "good". I would say I have things to improve on in every one of them. I invest a lot of time (and in some cases money) into them. I like doing them. I don't always "succeed" but that's okay with me. Life isn't about success, achievements, milestones.

Life is about getting there, about living, to focus on...

(enjoying every moment. XD)

A passion in life... It's strange, this word has been used by companies for many years now to create an "ideal lifestyle" that one must have passion for something in order to be fulfilled in life. But passion does not necessarily mean being good at your passion. And that's okay. Perhaps the best way to look at it is to have passion for life itself rather than in anything in particular. After all, the person you should be good to, no, the best to is yourself.

You are ending a chapter in your life and entering a new one. Life is changing rather dramatically for you. It can be exciting and frightening at the same time. Search for the small happinesses in your everyday life. Focus on activities you enjoy doing just because. The connection you are looking for is memories of happily doing something you like, doing simply for the sake of doing it.

Potatoes can become a lot of things, fries, chips, hashbrowns, croquettes, baked, masshed, etc. All delicious. I have never met a potato I did not like. :)

[inkdemonapologist]

XD I appreciate all this theorizing, y'all are great. I guess my question is why would Sammy be a good candidate to be Boris? Because he plays instruments? -suspiciously eyes the banjo in the safehouse- I'm not sure if that's enough for me. That's my thing with the toons, some of the choices for who turns into what are weird, like why would Tom be Boris, other than to annoy him? What does Joey see there that could possibly guarantee him a desirable Boris? The angels I get, that makes sense, but if you really want a perfect Boris, besides Buddy, we'd need Henry to fill that void.

Think about it, Boris' portrayal in the cartoons shows him as being kind of careless in how he treats Bendy, a good parallel for Joey feeling betrayed since Henry left. When we get to the comics, Boris is always doing the right thing, be it becoming super or mentoring the triplets, and the big thing I noticed is that he goes along with Bendy's plans without question in the beginning, but he shifts the longer they go on to doing his own thing. That sounds like Henry to me, and given how Joey called Buddy "Henry" "by accident," I wouldn't be surprised if they have a lot in common that equates to being good Boris traits. At the very least, Henry gets along with Boris, and it's logical that he designed him given TIOL and his secret tape.

Either way, Joey really sucks at shape puzzles. You can't fit a square in the circle spot Drew!

“why would sammy be a good candidate for Boris?” I mean, I think you kinda have the answer in bringing up Tom -- he isn’t. Sammy has almost nothing in common with Boris, but… neither does Thomas*, yet Thomas turned out pRETTY SUCCESSFUL as far as looks go (better than Susie did her first time through!). Are we... completely sure that the souls have to be a good match, personality-wise? Is Joey sure of that, has Joey always been sure of that? Or does Joey just figure that as long as the transformation takes, the cartoon personality will take over and they’ll eventually behave correctly?

[some rambling about souls and Joey's intentions for henry and buddy under the cut]

It seems, from the way Joey starts talking to Buddy, that he expects Boris’ personality to be more dominant once he’s squared away in his new body, like that’s the way Joey thinks it’ll work, that he can just tempt him with food and he’ll chill out. So it’s not hard to imagine Sammy turning into this raving bendy-worshipping fool, and Joey deciding he’s useless in that form and they might as well overwrite him with something useful. IIRC, Joey even mentions that he was hoping to be able to use some of the souls from Sammy’s victims -- prior to Buddy, I don’t know if Joey was really looking for a Personality Match so much as Free Souls?

Joey also tells Buddy that he didn’t actually know what Buddy’s true purpose was until the very end. Take with a grain of salt since Joey said it, but like, that checks out with the way he describes his mindset in TIOL -- that he’s kind of following his instincts but he’s waiting for that spark when things click, and he doesn’t really have a plan until he finds what he’s Meant To Do, when he sees an opportunity and attributes it retroactively to being the reason he was here all along. I don’t get the impression that Buddy was initially intended to be Boris or chosen for it (After reading TIOL, I’m not even sure Buddy was meant to be like Henry…), I just think that moment where Buddy was gonna die, Joey saw his opportunity and just went for it.

The idea of Henry putting some of himself in Boris is cute, (thinks about “Boris was special, Alice was complicated” again) but, I dunno, I’m torn! Boris is still portrayed, like, positively after Henry leaves, so I think Joey would’ve HAD to have divorced Boris from Henry in his mind on some level in order to still feel really positive about Boris, even if it’s just “Boris is a better version who is loyal.” I’d believe that Henry would like, be a good Boris candidate, but looking around at Alice’s Big Lake O’ Borises, (or the fact that the hard-working Buddy was apparently a "perfect" match for the sorta lackadaisical wolf...) I’m not sure that’s a very high bar, lmao. And, like, in canon it’s sorta a moot point -- I’d find it hard to believe that Joey called Henry back just to run him through the machine and make a perfect toon. Like??? Why???? At this point??? And why go through all the BatIM rigamarole if he just wanted Another Boris? The studio is closed, what would he even DO with an additional perfect Boris???

* though I have also pondered the idea that Tom being a Boris when nothing about him seems like a good fit for a Boris is potentially evidence that Turning Them Into Cartoons wasn't Joey Drew's goal there, so, LOTS OF POSSIBLE DIRECTIONS TO GO, REALLY,

[calicoconstellation]

if you're comfy answering, what does headspace look like? is it a room? house? whole town?

we have a house that i've only seen a few rooms of, but some systems we know have entire universes!

This took a long time to answer because I like to ramble lmao.

We have a few different areas in headspace, and we’re likely going to continue to add on! However we do have some trouble getting into headspace (we can communicate fine without it though) so that’s more of a priority right now than adjusting what’s already there.

The front room is simple, a circular white room that can fit all of us without a whole lot of extra space. The front is a huge glass window, and the windowsill is big enough to sit on. I really want to add something there, since that’s where I spend most of my time and it’s boring AF. Maybe a comfy fluffy rug and cat toys? Idk, we’ll see. Opposite to the front window is a doorway, which leads to the front door of our shared headspace.

Our shared part of headspace is a little cottage. We mostly only use the living room which has a fireplace, comfy chairs, a table by a big window, a piano, and some floor space for dancing (Saffy and I love to dance). Jace and Saffy each have a little room on the first floor, and the entire loft is mine. Saffy’s room has a lot of pastels and flowers, it’s very decorative and aesthetic. Jace’s is simpler and has darker shades of red and purple. I’m very childish, so my room has quite a lot of pink and it’s filled with stuffies (mostly alpaca stuffies), a fluffy white rug, both cat and human child toys, a rocking horse, and more. I haven’t gotten the chance to go in it much, once we get better at this whole switching and accessing headspace thing I intend to spend a lot of time there. Catra doesn’t have his own bedroom in the cottage (but could have one if she wanted one). The cottage also has a kitchen that none of us have gone into yet so we have no idea how it actually looks, and a back door which leads to… somewhere. I don’t know where.

Jace and Saffy and Cat also have their own spaces outside the cottage. Jace’s is literally just void. Like, he just spends most of the day running around in the void. I’m not sure what the appeal is but good for him. Saffy’s right now is a tiny patch of flowers, it’s more common to find her in the cottage or in the front room with me so hers hasn’t been expanded on much. Cat has the most expansive, which is a combination of Bright Moon and the Horde from Etheria. The Horde’s section is no longer run down, it looks as if someone fixed it up and started using that space for another purpose. Cat has some memories of this but isn’t sure what that new purpose was. The brightmoon part is Catra’s room with Adora, which includes that gorgeous waterfall from the future scene from season 5. No one but Cat is allowed in his part of headspace.

Saffy and I also recently discovered we’re really good at creating stuff together. We half accidentally created a huge pavilion surrounded by trees. The pavilion’s got a few tables, and is decorated with fairy lights and flowers. It’s the ideal place to dance together and pretend we’re at some fancy party. It has a very enchanting vibe, though I’m not sure how to capture it in writing.

So yeah, that’s headspace so far! Sorry for the walls of text XD

[popatochisssp]

sweet treats has a chapter limit of 100?! are you really planning to write 100 drabbles??? i thought this was an inktober thing????????? (i'm not even in the slightest complaining if that is what you do though lmao!)

I definitely intend to write 100 drabbles in total! I just thought it’d be fun and a -tober adjacent sort of thing to do to post daily for the month. Got a bit of a late start, but hey, I caught up eventually! XD

I almost definitely won’t be keeping up the daily posts much longer beyond October, I ran out of my buffer chapters--the one I posted today was the last one I had already written, so tomorrow’s chapter currently exists in concept only, hope I make it!!!--but I’m not done with Sweet Treats overall by a longshot.

I might stick with it as the main project through Chapter 40 (to round out the next cycle of 20, so every skele gets 2 chapters) before I switch priorities, or just bounce straight to something else that’s badly in need of updates, like Tangles or The Hamper, but I’m not sure about that yet, gonna see how I feel, inspiration-wise, and go from there.

But hey, do you want to hear a really silly anecdote about Sweet Treats’ intended 100 chapters...?

I found a prompt list that was 100 prompts long that looked interesting... but at the time, I only had 14 (public) skeles, and 14 didn’t divide evenly into 100. :(

.........But 20 would, I thought ever so slyly to myself, and if I cleaned up/fleshed out/released those partial concepts I had been stewing on for Horrorswap and Horrorswapfell...maybe dusted off and tweaked the G!bros... that would be 6 more right there, a perfectly even 20, everybody would get 5 chapters...��🤔

Surely, you think, Poppy couldn’t possibly be that stupid to release three new AU takes just to get a series of drabble prompts to divide out evenly...but you see, nobody stopped me, so that is exactly what I did and it probably explains a lot about who I am as a person somehow lol

[positivityforlesbians]

(1) There's nothing worse for me than stumbling across a piece of lesbian/gay history that has long been abandoned.About a year or two ago I was doing a project on Russian lgb history for my Uni (still shocked I was allowed to do it), and while reading up sources I found a link to an old website called "the pink island" (in Russian pink is used to refer to lesbians, and blue to gay men). They used to have articles there, discussions, and, what struck me the most, a column with poetry...

(2) They were so melancholic.When I found it, I felt like stumbled upon a sacred treasure, but there was a catch. It was on the way back machine, and the site was long abandoned. No activity, no one left. Things like this make me feel so lonely, when I remember it and what I felt when I saw it. We used to have a street gay culture, back in the 00', secret language, meeting places. Now it's all gone. And back then I was only a baby anyway, I couldn't have known anyway. Not it's all gone. (3) I guess what I wanted to say, blogs like yours make me feel less isolated, even if only a tiny bit. Thank you. (4) Sorry, haha, me again. I checked that website once more. Apparently it worked up until 2012, which is longer than I initially thought. But it seems that now the domain is used by some weird cat website?... So yeah, it does seem to be lost. Sorry for the rant on your inbox I was tired and read a sad post about two historic lesbians lmao and I was crying xD Счастливо <З

----

There’s so much of our history that we don’t know about, so much that is to discover and so much that will be forgotten forever because no one documented it, it’s indeed something very sad. It’s not exclusive to lgb history but minorities in general have our history erased and/or forgotten easier than with everyone else. This is why it’s important to keep a trace of that, even when we didn’t live it ourselves, for example I intend to never delete this blog even when I won’t use it anymore, or at least I want to find a way to archive what is being said here. There’s a lot of blogs even just on Tumblr who are witnesses or even actors of their time (even some crap that is ultimately homophobic) but shifted the lgb(t) community into what it is today. Literature, essays and fiction, films, tv shows, podcasts, music and art in general can also immortalize our history, it’s all important. Stumbling on a forgotten piece of our history can be an emotional moment, one that feels a little bit like a privilege because we get to find this piece of lgb history/culture, to have it printed in our mind. There’s a few times where I saw now mostly unvisited websites of lesbian archives, with audio of testimonies, it’s all so precious and it’s a work (keeping it visible/heard) that we can all participate in at our little scale. I’m glad positivityforlesbians make you feel less isolated, it means I’m not failing at my task here ! Xx

[littencloud9]

a (long) rant on why i love promare

warning: contains spoilers

| the animation/art style

BROOO THE ANIMATION IS FREAKING FIRE I’M NOT EVEN KIDDING. ik it’s an action movie, but everytime a fighting scene comes on it just,, blows my mind. there’s so many things going on but somehow you know where and what to focus on and i think that’s really cool. also the colours?? the vibrancy and everything. i love love LOVE how the fire looks, or when there’s a sad scene and everything turns white and black and grey, or even the fact that everyone has colourful hair XD. even those scenes where the burnish are being used for fuel or when they’re dying/turning to ash/whatever you wanna call it, it all feels so magical. there’s a really special vibe in this movie which is amazing imo

| the storyline

as if this wasn’t obvious, but the storyline!! the plot!!! the characters!!!! everything is PERFECT. the part where galo realised that kray isn’t the hero he always thought he was, or when galo watches the lives of the burnish and realised through lio how terrible their fate is (ik lio said it’s a blessing but it’s kinda sad?? to just be burned up by the fire within yourself), or when aina learns about what heris is really working for.... gosh. this also brings me to my next point

| aina and heris’s relationship

okay i’m a SUCKER for interesting sibling relationships and promare DEFINITELY delivered. even though aina feels like she’s living in the shadow of her sister, she still loves her and it makes me 🥺. also, everything heris does, even if she knows it’s wrong, is all for protecting her sister. you can really see her conflict bc she knows what she’s doing is terrible but it gives aina a chance to be one of the 10,000 people to be on the spaceship, and she struggles between her morals and her sister’s safety. there’s also that badass scene where heris jumps off the building and reappears with aina in the helicopter like ???? okay queens??? go off LMAO. but yes their relationship was wonderfully shown and it’s fantastic

| kray’s character

honestly, kray reminds me of lysandre from pokémon xyz lol. he has this mentality that if someone doesn’t do something, the earth is gonna explode or whatever and everyone will die and he takes it upon himself to do it. ig he kinda sees himself as the hero?? (which we al know is wrong but whatever). and when he was revealed to be a burnish and he tries getting lio to join him by saying how he understands the feeling of wanting to burn the world down? or that he only saved galo as an excuse to build up his reputation? and then sent galo to be a firefighter bc it had the highest mortality rate?? he’s a terrible guy BUT he makes for a perfect villain and i’m here for it

| the soundtrack

OKAY COME ON I COULDN’T NOT INCLUDE THIS. THE SOUNDTRACK FREAKING  S L A P S. also you can’t listen to the lyrics of inferno and tell me that it isn’t just a romance song for lio and galo LOL

| the characters

okay tbh i really wish we could’ve gotten more of the burning rescue team. esp lucia!! she’s probably one of my favourites out of the team, alongside varys. she’s got this crazy science kid vibe and vinny (the lil mouse that’s always with her) makes it twenty times better. but anyway, i love how each of the characters have their own quirks and personalities and i really wish we could’ve gotten more of them

| the burnish 

as tragic as their lives were, i think it’s super cool how they all lent their power to make the core explode LOL that’s probably one of my favourite scenes in the movie. also lio’s generals? when they held back the ice just to send lio to the volcano in an attempt to protect him... 🥺 and the line ‘forget about us! the burnish's flame won't fade as long as you live!’ oh my GOD. RIGHT IN THE FEELS

| the humour

when lio captures galo and galo witnesses the life of the burnish and galo’s like ‘y’all eat???’ i have never laughed harder. lio’s FACE omg. or anytime someone jabs and insults the other,,, lio’s just like ‘you’re an idiot’ half the time and galo’s like ‘:((‘ LMAO. or the names of all the inventions and robots? it’s so silly but it really gives a breath of fresh air to the movie!! even if you don’t like romance/action, i’d 100% recommend it simply for the comedy

| galo and lio’s relationship 

alright, saving the best for last XD. there’s just,, so much i love about them? pushing the romance aside first, the way they work together is FANTASTIC. they’re both kinda reckless, but their fighting styles complement each other so much!! and when galo stuck their names together LMAO he’s so silly and lio knows it. they’ve got the same beliefs despite being on opposite sides (at first) and oh my god even the fist bump at the end was so CUTE what a bunch of dorks. 

romance wise, you’re lying if you say you don’t ship these two even just a little bit. throughout the WHOLE movie, even their first interaction where they’re just heavily glaring at each other,, the TENSION these two have omfg. lio figures out that galo really doesn’t know anything about kray and so he’s just like ‘i’m about to ruin your life sorry bro’ and galo is SHOOK but straight after that he’s like ‘the burnish. aren’t bad people?’ he’s seen the tragedy of them, even when lio attempts the burnish cpr thing and it fails and he just watched while the ash... fades. AND THEN HE DOES IT TO LIO AHAHAHAHA. but also, the way they work together is fan-freaking-tastic i said it already but i’ll say it again they COMPLEMENT each other so WELL. 

there’s also the part where lio’s flames protected galo and MY HEART... i think i uwued on the spot. to put in simple terms:

kray: attempts to kill galo

galo: doesn’t die

galo: lol actually my boyfriend gave me his flames to protect me so i won’t scorch to death and he’s also being burned from the inside so brb while i eat the flame he gave me and give it back to him through cpr kissing. yeah bye

KSHSKDHSLSJS

lio wakes up/resurrects/whatever you call it, RIPS OFF HIS SHIRT, JOINS GALO IN THE ROBOT HALF NAKED. this is especially funny to me bc lio at first dissed galo for being naked and now he joined??? LMAO THAT’S GAY YOU CAN’T CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE. and then the robot flew off and THE SMOKE THING TOOK THE SHAPE OF A HEART DHSKDHSK I SCREAMED. CAN THEY GET ANY MORE OBVIOUS???? 😭😭😭😭😭

i haven’t talked much about it yet but the kiss. the KISS. say what you want about it being cpr but that scene SCREAMED ‘ily pls wake up i will kiss you like there’s no tomorrow bc this is my last chance WAKE UP’ to me. and when lio wakes up he’s like ‘...galo? you saved me?’ MY HEART PLEASE 😭😭😭. these two DORKS. and the little fist bump at the end oh god. it’s okay y'all can kiss we all know you want to. the smirks/smiles they send to each other.......... 

AND AND AND NOT TO MENTION THEIR DYNAMIC. listen lio can call galo an idiot however many times he wants BUT we all know lio admires galo and is totally willing to go on with his plans. ‘what’s your strategy?’ ‘grinning and bearing it!’ PLEASE that’s such a galo thing to do and lio’s like: are you serious i have to work with YOU 

and even at the end he’s like ‘you really are an idiot’ LMAO I COULDN’T HELP MYSELF I LITERALLY BLURTED OUT ‘but he’s your idiot’ AND ALMOST STARTED CRYING RIGHT THERE AND THEN

um this is WAY longer than i intended it to be but yeah here. this is me screeching over promare :)
