Hi! Headcanon that Nimona does this some nights when Ballister's sleeping, and then he wakes up in the morning with more cowlicks than usual

Reference under the cut!

Based the thingy on this video of two cats that I found really cute jdfd especially with the background sound (whose translation could work as: sweet heart, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, heart or something like that sjdf)

Also here it is as a gif! One day of these I'll figure out how to keep the colors and fps correctly pipipi

That's it!

This is my beloved SpyBoy. He is a very sick little dude. He was diagnosed with diabetes recently, which has resulted in half a dozen vet visits, an extended stay at the cat hospital, and seriously devastating vet bills.

My husband was recently laid off, and I'm disabled, so we currently have zero income and zero savings.

The vet has let us make partial payments, but the balance is coming due on the first.

Our gofundme is stalled out at $2700, and we need $5200 by January first, just to catch up with what we currently owe.

So I am going to start selling my treasures.

Starting with my signed script from Star Trek TOS, The Trouble With Tribbles. Today is Saturday, Dec 21, 2024. At midnight ET on Monday the 23rd, whoever has made the largest new donation to our gofundme will own this fabulous signed script, complete with a tribble doodle! Please help my SpyBoy if you can, and score yourself this little piece of Trek history! https://www.gofundme.com/f/save-spy-boy-urgent-medical-funds-needed

I simply think this fandom doesn't give Wei Wuxian enough credit for the various ways in which he saved Lan Wangji

Imagine if Machete was Muslim instead of Catholic. His name would be something like Saif سيف, and Vasco would probably be something like Dhahabi ذَهَبِيّ

(thread i posted on twitter copypaste)

i think musical bj and lydia have the most interesting dynamic of the three…they go toe to toe, seem to be in perfect sync without even trying, she managed to turn his marriage threat on its head by tricking HIM back, and then a mini redemption arc? we love to see it but this also means it's hard for me to think of interesting things for them, because they already said everything that needed to be said in the musical. perfect closure too. what else is there even to tell?

thinking about this again since i've been rewatching the musical over and over. the emotional resolution and closure they had was so satisfying after offering what is probably the best (subjectively) and most balanced (objectively) dynamic of the three iterations

over at tumblr i've been talking about how cartoon bj and lydia's friendship isn't as perfect as it seems, especially in the later episodes. it's so sad to see but i'm also invested in their potential downfall and how that would go down…it's interesting to think about

but hey at least they're not movie bj and lydia lol. what….a mess of a dynamic those two have now with the sequel. it could've been handled so much better. they obviously wanted us to root for bj a little in this one, but the cool things he does amount to nothing, pretty much.

feels weird sympathizing with THIS beetleguy of all three but wow not even a reluctant "thanks i guess" or anything? idk feels like something was missing there. just one of the many things that feel like they're setting up for a third installment

thinking so hard about this because when i write them i gotta think about their motivations, feelings and why they feel that way, etc and bj saving astrid's life and exposing rory as a fraud and abuser (in an incredibly satisfying way) definitely tipped the scales in his favor.

so i'm still figuring out how lydia would feel about all that. i have this scene stuck in my head of her and astrid talking about bj. and astrid, who's really only seen him do good things, goes "…really mom?" and now i'm going "welp she's kinda got a point, lydia" NOW WHAT.

if i were in her shoes, me personally, that would've won me over or at the VERY least i would've forgiven him since he made up for the bad stuff. and i keep seeing people who feel the same way… then again, the ending does show he's still messing with her so idk. mixed feelings

trying my hardest to work with what canon gave us if you couldn't tell lol. sloppy as it was. i will try to make sense of it so i can do my stupid little comics

i guess at least she let him down easy lmao. as sarcastic her "look i'm sorry things didn't work out between us but the 600 year gap is a little much for me" line was. but he's not gonna give up that easily, is he? of course not. he's beetlejuice. he's gonna be annoying forever.

none of this would be such an issue if they had given them more screentime together to let their dynamic cook a bit and actually see how they get along 😑 hmph

anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk im done now

Back to it. My unhinged essays on Evil Morty's connections to various Ricks

3/5 (part 1, part 2)

Rick Prime

So Rick Prime, huh. What a guy. Such an elusive character. So little known about him. But here's a funny thing: for all of Evil Morty's dismissiveness towards the guy in Unmortricken, it's almost impossible that he didn't know of him.

With how many Ricks' brains Evil Morty had scanned, he must have stumbled upon information about Rick Prime somewhere. He saw C-137's memories, for goodness sake! His disregard for Prime seems intentional, in light of this. The Big Bad? Nah, just another shitty grandpa. The only thing that briefly managed to make him care was the Omega Device. And once that was secured he didn't even bother killing Prime personally.

Was it Prime's (presumed) lack of crimes against Mortykind that allowed Evil Morty to brush him aside so easily? The worst that guy ever did to Morty Prime was abandon him. And for all of C-137 assurances that Prime really, truly does not give a shit about his own grandson, Evil Morty bet on him hesitating to kill Morty Prime in cold blood. And won.

Before Rick Prime met his end he had a brief interaction with Evil Morty and then Rick C-137. In both he was on the ropes, thoroughly deafeated, rambling on with barely any acknowledgement from his opponents. But i would argue that the interaction with Evil Morty had him more out of his element than getting literally beaten to death.

And why wouldn't it! Prime is used to being hunted, to people wanting him dead. His way of dealing with that could imply "passively suicidal" just as much as "reckless overconfidence". He is a Rick, after all. Hell, it seemed like he had a whole speech for C-137 prepared for the occasion that his luck finally ran out.

What he's not used to is being dismissed, to being a means to an end.

It's funny that, even after figuring out Evil Morty was not your regular old Morty, Rick Prime was still so damn far from seeing the whole picture. His warning to C-137 makes it obvious that Prime still thought that Evil Morty was his Morty in some way. Still thought that the kid was yet to "get mad at grandpa".

Rick Prime died knowing his downfall was underestimating a Morty, but he had no clue by just how much. And maybe that's a cosmically appropriate punishment. The man who valued intellect above everything else goes out a sucker. But i can't help but wish he'd found out.

And just imagine what could've happened had the two met earlier. What if they were forced by circumstances to communicate, or, god forbid, even collaborate? Would they notice they both have a flare for dramatics, a love of sci-fi aesthetics, and a shared hobby of doing everything in their power to be left alone, collateral damage be damned, only to then eagerly jump at the first opportunity to interact with people who disturb their solitude? And if they did notice the similarities, i wonder which one would be disturbed by them more.

…i want Prime back from the dead for this teamup alone.

Tidings From Our Fading Sun (1/7)

I. And I'm Ready to Go

Rating: Explicit Pairing: General Polyghouls Featuring: Prequel to Born Under a Troubled Sign (if you see plot holes/inconsistencies no you don't, I'm working on it). Angst. Hurt/No Comfort. Nothing major happens in this chapter--but this fic doesn't go anywhere fun or nice for anyone. That's your warning. What really happened before Dew's elemental transition. Word Count: 3.5k

Ifrit reconciles with life after Terzo's fall--and makes some damning choices.

Terzo was calling for Omega–who wasn’t even there and Dew was spitting and snarling in the direction of the Abbey goons, mask gone, glamour flickering. Mountain was corralling him back while Aether tried to talk some sense into someone–anyone. And Ifrit?

He froze.

He’ll never forgive himself for it. 

Read it on AO3.

stan: how can you be polyamorous and aroace, or…whatever mabel called it?

ford: in my case, i have my family and i have my platonic polycule. i would prefer to never have to interact with anyone outside these two groups

stan: what about soos and wendy? they’re not in either of those groups

ford: first of all, i am soos’ uncle, second of all, are you saying you don’t believe i would both die and kill for wendy?

stan: you’ve got a weird way of defining family, six

ford: it’s my favorite way

I think we're missing out on the comedic potential of nene getting unwillingly dragged into the wxs school dramas by always being the one emu goes to at school and therefore having to hide her and help her get around unseen

Nene just wants to spend her lunch break in peace but now she's not only immediately attacked by a pink beast, but now being ALSO chased by disciplinary committee tsukasa seeing emu with her and going all "YOU'RE HELPING HER TRESSPASS THEREFORE YOU ARE AN ACCOMPLICE". Then rui sees this and thinks its funny so he joins emunene in the chase and it ends up being a whole clown show with explosions and screaming and confetti that nobody knows where it came from
