[oh hey ig what im talking about may still be new. Uh. Maybe slight spoilers for Avery Pokémon’s Sync Pair Story in Pokemon Masters EX?]

Star, I must repent. I think I followed you at the tail end of your Avery obsession. I must admit, I did NOT get it, I did not see The Vision™️

But things changed, you may already know, but I downloaded that mobile Pokémon game, Pokemon Masters EX, bc I’m broke and know no other option; Avery was put in the game…like…yestetday?; I go “OO! Star’s guy!”; I obtain Avery; etcetera etcetera, yada yada

It’s 5am, I’m sitting someone else’s house with little to do bc I was watching a family’s dogs while they were on a weekend trip. I open the app and decide to play the little side story for Avery bc ofc I love the 💖Lore💖 and thought it’d be cool to gain clues on who he is (bc there’s no introductions in the game, really. You just go in and they expect you to already know these guys…I, in fact, know none of these guys).

Avery greets the player and starts briefly talking about his powers, his family, his Slowpoke, gym leading, etc. (probably just referencing what already happened in Shield but-) and I’m like “…omg…he is lovely <3”

and. then I see him “teleport”. For the first time…I…HE DID SAY “oh I was supposed to have all these powers but only got Telekinesis” BUT. I WASNT . I WAS NOT READY. I DON’T KNOW WHAT I WAS EXPECTING!!!! BUT IT WASNT THAT TURN AROUND AND FULL SPRINT AWAY INTO THE NIGHT, LEAVING THREE (3) OF HIS POKEMON JUST SITTING IN FRONT OF ME, VIBING

I don’t remember what noises I made, but whatever it was, I startled awake all four of the dogs I was watching. I was almost SOBBING. That got me so bad. I still look up at the ceiling everytime I think about it.

Tragically, my YouTube search history is rapidly becoming a mess as I try to find every compilation of this guy ever,

bahahahahaha YES!!!!!! WELCOME TO THE AVERY CULT!!!!! oh it's so funny that as roach brainrot takes over my whole being, Avery finally gets you. we really can't control when that little light switches on and makes us insane, can we? 🙈💖

gosh i ought to check this Pokemon Masters EX game out-

MY LOVE!!!!!!! 🙈💖🙈💖🙈💖 OHHH so that's why i've seen so much gorgeous art of Avery over on Twitter over the last week!!! i thought people were just finally waking up to what a handsome and funny guy he is 🥰💖 i'm so, so happy he's become your husband too...you have to be confronted with what an elegant little weirdo he is to truly fall victim to his charm!! (i'm not gonna lie when i read you calling Avery 'Star's guy' i got so giggly 🙈🙈 now he's OUR guy!!!) oh my god. TELEPORT IS WHAT GOT YOU???? i'm in PIECES 😂😂😂 we love our silly fellas with a big slice of pathetic, don't we. bless his heart he's so troubled and has so much familial angst yet is equal parts bishie bully and ready to break down in tears at ANY second!! when did he start doing the teleport thing, do you think? has anyone ever told him how ridiculous(ly pretty) he looks? 😖💖💖💖 that art you've drawn of yourself is making my sides shake that is EXACTLY how i felt when i first saw Avery. just one look at his outfit and i was absolutely gone 😭😭 omg my goddd though Kayleigh McKee, his voice actress in Masters EX, does such an amazing job, i'm gobsmacked!!! i was kicking my legs hearing him laugh so haughtily 🥴💖 hufjgk i would kill to have him in a longer anime episode please good lord...!!! Mr Big Hat over here would be so terribly smug to know he's gotten you all flustered 🥴💖 very much looking forward to the inevitable ship art of yourself and Avery (and of course your other Pokéblorbos, because we can never have just one!! 🥰)...gosh you're making me want to draw him!!this is that time where i promote the hell out of my extremely talented friends who've drawn lovely art of Avery and my OC Nix (AKA Crystelekinesisshipping 😉): art by @/mruuhaha, art by @/MrKlausSelfShip, and art by @theredmists 🥰🥰 and to feed your little Avery fixation, i made this silly little AMV for him when in the throes of my own 🔥 lying down, blood on my face. there are too. many. pretty. characters. in the world. how dare you bring Avery back i am trying to rizz up a French bugman 😂😂 Lorelei, it is a pleasure as always!!! thank you for bearing with me while i've been crushed in fixation hell, you're a champion and i am IMMENSELY looking forward to reading through your Avery brainrot backlog 😉

"Snow White and Rose Red" --Blackbriar

We had a bond that was stronger than they could ever comprehend We are one, we could do anything if you just hold my hand We had a bond that was stronger than they could ever comprehend And you know that people fear what they don't quite understand

[leggerefiore]

Can i request something with Maxie, Archie, Lysandre and Cyrus? Like they had a nasty fight with their s/o but they (s/o) aren't feeling so well so they end up passing out? It can be during or after their fight.

Smth like angst to comfort

the base four....

cw: arguing, fainting, comfort

characters: Lysandre, Maxie, Archie, Cyrus

The argument had been an intense one. Harsh words were slung around by both sides as emotions ran quite high. The topic was one of contention – His plans. When you learnt of what your boyfriend was actually doing and the possible effects it could have, you naturally decided to confront him. Though, the timing was absolutely awful as the lingering exhaustion from a cold took over your body. As your boyfriend stood defensively, you tried to catch yourself on a table as your balance staggered. Your vision grew blurry before you finally collapsed. The last thing you could definitely make out was your name being called out and rushed footsteps.

🔥Lysandre🍷

☕️ Whatever shock had momentarily consumed Lysandre faded in an instant. He rushed over to catch you before you could sustain any damage from your collapse. Dramatically, he would admit he called your name a few times and tried to shake you awake. When that failed, he laid you out on the couch and debated his next moves. His frustration about your disagreements on his plans faded quickly. No matter what, the most beauty he could possibly find lied with you. A cool pack was pressed to your head as he made a quick call. You seemed well enough aside from a sudden fever and passing out. The fiery man could only sit at your side and stroke your hand. To think that the stress alone of what he was going to do caused this… He felt vindicated in his choice not to tell you. His hand stroked your cheek. He closed his eyes. For now, he would need to find a way to keep you at ease.

☕️ When you woke up, it was to the scent of coffee. Lysandre sat in a nearby lounge chair, silently drinking coffee and looking over something on a tablet. It was quickly put aside when he noticed that you had awoken. Momentary upset at the thought of the argument continuing was quashed when he knelt down and gently comb his fingers through your hair, giving a gentle apology. You let out a shaky breath, the stress fading from you. It had been a lot, and you knew it was far from over with how impassioned Lysandre could be. Yet, you knew working yourself up was a terrible idea, and the gentleness he exuded was enough to let you forget for just a moment. Later, you would probably find yourself at ends with him, but not for right now. It was much better spent letting him offer you anything you could ever possibly want to earn your forgiveness.

☀️Maxie🌋

🪨 He managed to cushion your head before you hit the ground. Maxie felt panic rush through him, his collected demeanour falling away to reveal his evident distress. Your body felt warm – far too warm. He got you to the couch and immediately brought a cool cloth to your forehead. His upset about your inability to understand his plans were gone. They could wait – Everything could wait. You were his priority.  His glasses fogged up from how heavily he was breathing and how flustered he had become. As right as he might have felt about his goals, you being in such a state about it finally hit him. You were upset enough to pass out. He swallowed. There could be a discussion – something to either help you understand or give you peace of mind. He held your hand tightly as you remained unconscious.

🪨 When you finally awoke, bleary and exhausted, you smelled the scent of something pleasant. Raising up carefully, a cool cloth fell down from your forehead. Footsteps rushed to your side as you turned up to see your boyfriend gazing at you with worried eyes. Memories of the fight flooded into your head, but before you could say anything about it, arms wrapped around you. A proper apology left Maxie's lips as you sat in momentary shock. Hugging him back, you supposed the topic was not crucial right now. Instead, you prepared yourself to be interrogated about your health. Whatever harshness you felt about his plans did not apply to his person – No, you knew you loved Maxie, which is why you had become so overwhelmed. But, when he promised to speak with cordially about it later, you felt relieved.

🌧Archie🌊

💧 Archie scrambled to catch you as you fell, his body moving without any hesitation. The Aqua Leader was in shock that you suddenly fainted. Unadulterated Panic rushed through his veins as he carried you to lay on the couch. He moved through quick first aid to make sure you were all right before determining that it was apparently nothing serious. You were running a fever, though. He put a damp cloth on your forehead and sighed. The initial adrenaline wore off, and he let himself sit down. Were his plans that important? He knew they were – He desperately wanted to understand and stop viewing him as unreasonable. But… If it had you that upset, Archie could only wonder. He did not want you getting like this. Seeing you faint snapped him from whatever trance he was in. You two needed a proper talk, not some petty argument full of insults. He already felt awful for what he had said. His hand stroked through your hair. Shame flooded his system.

💧 When you woke up, you found yourself under a blanket in the late evening. Eyes going to the window, you spied Archie hanging outside, watching the waves. You felt distressed suddenly – Both from the argument and from fainting. Before you could fret foo much, Archie noticed you were awake and headed back inside. A crushing hug was the first thing on his agenda when he saw you. A sweet yet simple apology left him. You let yourself fall into the affection, the scent of the ocean wafting from the pirate. For now, you supposed, the argument did not matter. It could be a later thing. Especially when he cupped your face so sweetly. Archie was a reasonable, caring man. You knew he would never do anything with active maliciousness. For now, you would just enjoy the moment.

🌌Cyrus🛰

☄️ Cyrus caught you, his panic springing him into action before he could even process it. His eyes were wide as he felt your body overcome with heat. A fever. Whatever his frustrations were towards your opinion on his plans faded. He brought you to the couch and quickly pressed a damp, cool cloth to your forehead. His breaths were shaky as he watched you lay. Your pulse was checked, and he listened to your breathing to confirm that you were alive. Even after his phone lit up with updates about work – him having come home in the middle of an important task – he ignored it. Nothing mattered. He felt oddly empty. His vile words about you being too foolish to understand and that his plans are truly the only option for this world. Seeing you faint… It felt harder for his thoughts to remain focused. His hand held yours as you laid unconscious.

☄️ When you awoke, you found Cyrus asleep at your side. His head lay on your side, arms crossed under him to support his weight. The sweet scene was interrupted by memories of your fight. You were not backing down from your options, but… The threats of leaving him felt impossible to follow up on. Whatever was going on with the blue-haired man, he needed help, not rejection. Your hand combing through his hair startled him awake, tired blue eyes piercing through you. A sigh left him when he saw you. No words were spoken, but it was clear that the fight was to be put off to the side for now.

Prompt 4 for käsh promise i'll be kind AU 🔥🔥🔥

4: "Stay. Please, stay."

CW for light gore!!

Blood is rushing through Jere's ears. It's an uncomfortably loud noise. Impossible to ignore. He wishes he could reach inside his own head and turn it off. He longs for silence. But as Jere takes a step closer towards the light, yet another noise emerges from within the shed. Even louder than the blood in Jere's ears.

Crying.

The sobs are hoarse and pained, sounding closer to coughing than to crying. Jere already knows what he'll find if he turns around. Knows he shouldn't. But he can't help himself. He turns his head to stare right into eerily pale blue eyes.

Tommy is lying on the floor like a puppet with cut off strings. Jere broke his leg earlier and now the Estonian is trying to find a crawling position that doesn't cause the bone to pierce further through his flesh. His exhausted eyes struggle to even produce tears, only thin tear tracks visible on Tommy's face. Nausea swirls in Jere's empty gut at the sight of the other man in this position.

It should feel vindicating but Jere only feels sick.

"Jere....." Tommy sobs out, pleading, begging for the younger man's attention. "Jere, please.....don't go."

Jere's eyes fleet towards the open doorway. Towards the sunlight. These past days have aged him 40 years. He feels bone aching exhaustion settle in his weak body.

"Stay.....please." The injured man tries again when Jere doesn't respond. His voice cracks as he chokes out more pleas. "Jere, please j-just.....stay."

Jere stares blankly at the man he absolutely adored not so long ago. Tommy looks so.....pathetic like this. Jere doesn't recognize him anymore. Not as the sweet, funny Tommy he fell for. And not even as the sadistic and obsessed Tommy he's grown used to while in captivity.

He's more like a sick animal now. Begging for Jere to save him. But Tommy was a bad dog. He bit too much. The merciful thing for Jere would be to put him down.

"Fuck you, Tommy."

GASP! Could it really be? The lost season 4 of Xiaolin Showdown is finally being released to the public! OH I am SEATED 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

Kicking off the season with another 🤝👫team-building exercise👥🧑‍🤝‍🧑 from Master Fung, how classic! A lot of those in the show itself, so the opening slots right into the roster! Feels so real!

The different is that this time it's a team-building exercise that's meant to emphasize the team that's no longer composed of equals, since one of them is apparently their better and their superior now... Shaking up the team dynamic after all that talk about them working together as one by promoting one to manage the others, I can see why it's already going to Raimundo's head and he's trying to pull rank. He was sort of doing that already in season 3 before it was even official, so now that it's official, that 🤴"as your leader"🤴 talk is so so him, LOL... Mixing pulling rank in with one of the kids' usual bouts and adding Kimiko's hair-trigger temper into the mix too! 😡 And Master Fung comes in just in time to break up the fight and use it to segue into today's lesson! I can only imagine how many rewatches you've have of the series because that whole set up in the opening plays out exactly like it does in the episodes itself! That's so cool!

And I didn't expect a cameo from Megan again after all this time! 👧🎀 She's still the cutest! And the age-typical brattiness makes her even cuter! And Jack is cute looking after her! The Spicer cousins are being so cuuuute! 🎀🍥 And Megan even gets a part in the showdown a little like Dojo does sometimes! The powers that be gave Megan a better role than they usually give Dojo though.

I never even imagined that mochi-making could be a showdown challenge! 🔨🐇 Kimiko had some ANGER put behind those blows! Cute having her bring in something from her culture for the playing field today too! That's how you stack the odds! And it finally gave Kimiko a chance to show her expertise and show a situation where she gets to take charge and has the knowledge they need. Even in season 3's own Kimiko episode, they made her sit out the solution solving so Raimundo could have an A-HA! moment and tell her how to fix her mistake for her and that was so frustrating. This feels like it really fixed that!

Raimundo learned his lesson, Kimiko has been vindicated, Jack has been defeated, lunch has been caught and cooked, Megan had her fun time, all's well that end's well-- OH NO OMI?!

🥺😢 Poor Omi, I totally forgot he doesn't even eat meat! And so did the other monks! 😭😭😭😭😭 OMIII! At least Dojo is looking out for him. Best dragon right there, true MVP of the episode 🐉🔥🐉🔥

‘Championship Strikes’ feels like it's supposed to be a reference to something.... But I don't know a lot about video game franchises. (I don't even know what Goo Zombies is supposed to be a parody of in the show even though I'm sure it's probably something) 🎮🕹️👾 Can I ask what Championship Strikes is riffing off of? What kind of game is it? Is it sport stuff?

Those are super cute outfits for Kimiko and Megan in the title card! Their braids and hats and ribbons are super duper cute! Megan looks like a little adventurer and Kimiko is rocking that sporty look! Boys in the back all being kinda huffy or sad, meanwhile right up front are my GIRLIES! 👗👢👒🎀👚👟

If this episode was on a streaming service I could rate it 5/5 stars like it deserves, so here you go: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’m so honored by this review 😭! I did my best to emulate an actual episode when I wrote this so I’m really glad that I succeeded!!

Honestly it was so much fun to bring Megan back! It felt like a good low-stakes episode to bring her back~ it was also fun to let her judge the showdown! Poor Jack though, he didn’t manage to win even with his cousin deciding the outcome.

The motchi making showdown came from me getting able to participate in a motchi making class allll the way back in February and going ‘this would make a really fun showdown!’ And it just fit so perfectly into this episode~ letting Kimiko show off while at the same time getting a chance to terrify Raimundo and teach him a lesson really was so much fun to write!

And Omi….oh Omi. He isn’t doing too hot after everything that happened in the other universe and in the hypothetical future he saw with Jack and now his needs are being forgotten too…At least he has Dojo looking out for him. Always.

And the ‘ championship strikes’ game is just meant to be a reference to a soccer game like the FIFA games! So you were definitely right that it was a sports game!

Thank you again for the fun review! And I’m glad you liked the first ‘episode’!

There's a semi-popular/notorious fanartist on another platform. I LOVED their art of Simeon. One of the best fanartists I've ever seen draw him. Literally when all is good, they depict Simeon perfectly.

But that unfortunately rarely happens because they are SOOOO self-righteous that it cancels out any and all joy I could get from seeing their Simeon art. It's an OM fanblog in name alone. The stuff that they REALLY get up to on that blog is genuinely so concerning.

Now, they're a "good person" as in they have solid morals that they "live by"... but they remind me of the sort of mentality that brought about the Salem witch trials--

A "good person" thinking they need to publicly vindicate someone that's apparently suspect, or else they're not actually a good person. They might end up burning at the stake next if they're not careful! 🔥🔥🔥 Them and their "friends" got anxious mob mentality fr fr.

Monthly, they'd call someone out with the "proof" that their "friend" got them and it's just the most vague screenshot(s) of a non-english speaker saying something in broken english and they're vaguely PO'd about some beef they have with someone. It would never count as decisive proof in any court of law, but that's all this person and co. needs to spin some sort of insanely twisted narrative!

Truly, if you follow their blog, you're there watching a reinactment of the Salem witch trials, some poor soul and their "friends" desperately trying to convince themselves that they're in the right about everything they're doing wrong.

I also tried to believe that their hearts were in the right place, just poorly POORLY executed. But I finally decided to block them when I I saw someone get dog piled by the "friends" for commenting some criticism EVEN THOUGH THE OP ASKED FOR THE CRITICISM! The person wasn't even rude about it, too. The literal projecting I saw them do there was the last straw of my patience. That blog is just too much of cesspool.

Why did the best Simeon fanartist I've ever seen have to turn out like that? 😩😩😩

Thanks for the vent space. Sorry it's kinda long. I hope that cult circle breaks up and gets all the therapy they need.

I'm sorry but if you convince yourself a) e.g. wow, sure is weird how all the cringe fandom blogs you dislike are coincidentally all zionists! (to pick the most recent example I've seen) and b) this is something to feel smug and vindicated about, then you're the one embarrassing yourself here.

Idk if you had watched Meg’s documentary already but it was everythingggg 10/10, too good!! It was definitely a roller coaster of emotions. I’m so glad she was able to triumph through everything despite the bs that she had to endure. The fact she kept going through so many traumatic experiences when she was catapulting into stardom. Her mom who was not only close to her but her manager passed, then her grandma passed, then the Tory situation and everyone bullying and vilinizing her for it, that could make anyone break. You can tell her mom’s passing really messed her up, I will always feel for her. She was so raw and so vulnerable about it all. And watching it will continuously make me think about Michael. He was the only high profile male celebrity to not only take up for her but defend and speak up on her behalf when all the others were blaming her for it and that just proves he’s just an all around genuine stand up guy. A real man’s man. If BDE was a person it’s Michael. But anyways love Meg, so happy she was vindicated and it’s only up from here for her 🥰

🔥🔥🔥

I love the documentary and I ugly cried with her in the end. I’m so freaking proud of her! I feel like those that support her and love her down have been on that rollercoaster with her! I’ll always support Meg. & Michael was so real for that and it was amazing that he did that. Meg will never forget that and it was so sweet and thoughtful ❤️❤️❤️

Not Rhaenys finding a way to flip her punishment around in her favor and still overstimulating Ali while being roughly claimed by Corlys, and then getting them to a point where it is her and Alicent working together to work over Corlys 😆 I have no choice but to stan the queen who should have been, that was so hot 🔥 the guards outside have an earful all night... and they do notice when the Dowager Queens mewls melt away into the Princess'... and they notice still when those melt away to their Lord (?) groaning and gasping loud enough to outway his wives' sounds... his moaning of her name like a prayer... pleading for reprieve.. the guards hearing but not seeing that those sounds are coming from him as Rhaenys is not getting off him until she's made him cream and coat her insides twice more.. only then has she had her fill of them both.. for now.... hhmmm... it would appear the mighty Sea Snake does in fact fold under his wives' combined.... attention.. eventually... if whispers of that night get around between the guards and staff and eventually other people in the keep like their family... half of whom spend breakfast pointedly avoiding the topic while the rest are outright talking to them about it.. well... he is too old and pussydrunk to care too greatly, really... he does feel vindicated when Ali flushes brighter than her hair at that, though... Rhaenys even less bothered by it than the two of them. So what if her family is now aware that she edged and defiled Ali in the Sept and then got ravaged by Corlys until she flipped it around and ended up overstimulating them both through the night... and? They are hers, she can do with them as she pleases...

THE WHO QUEEN WHO NEVER WAS !!

Imagine time travel version and ali meeting their younger versions ooppsie

They adore when Alicent blushes like her hair and she does not get up in the morning until late. Rhaenys is up nearly with the dawn with Corlys dozing for another or two

The maids coming in with the breakfast as the Princess has her head held high as her husband and lover sleep in

🔥 deaths in the terror?

I'm so sorry but I don't think I have anything for you Anon :(

They're all sad and pitiful and I can't say that one stuck with me more than another.

I don't particularly think that any was more deserved or undeserved than the other... I am not vindicated by any of the Mutineers' death nor do I feel unmoved by Jopson's or Fitzjames's.

It was just all super sad and a tragedy.

So yeah, kinda super neutral about this topic! Sorry!

I am now super curious about other people's opinions on deaths in The Terror! I didn't realise it was a topic Terrorbytes were opiniated about! 😯

[aroaceacacia]

every time i think abt vitalazam i feel soooooo vindicated for writing eclipse as a poly v with subz at the center. they just did not Click with each other and they tried to make it work between the two of them and it made everything worse actually. they had "we have the same boyfriend so i feel kind of obligated to hang out with you because i think he would be sad if we hated each other" swag. and now vitalasy is weird and fucked up in the head about zam 🔥🔥🔥

[xenomorphee3]

Will you consider writing a new Quartich story about a new OC from a different clan or will this really be the end 🥲😭

Wow okay this question made me so sad when posed like that! So bear 🐻 with my emotional reply.

Almost a year ago, I finished A New Mission: Ash to Fire having started it in January 2023 and completing it in June. It took about 5.5 months to finish that nearly 400,000 word longfic. But I loved this world and the characters and felt there was more story to tell. And so I started A New Mission: Happiness is Simple in August 2023 having posted the first chapter on September 1st and proceeded at a much slower pace than its predecessor. But it too is coming to a close. I anticipate late June, not too far from a year after ANMAF finished which is a funny coincidence.

I love my story and my OCs so much. My life has been dedicated to them for a fascinatingly long time considering the random urge to just start this massive saga in the wake of my many Avatar 2 theater viewings and borderline obsession. I was a sleeper Avatar fan since the first came out and boy did the vindication of the second's success feel sweet. I was ready to ride the Avatar wave and I certainly did 🌊 But writing these longfics was an unexpected way to ride it.

To be honest, I don't know if I'd write more stories. A big part of me—and I'll be sincere in saying this—wishes I didn't start A New Mission at all. Not because I don't love it, but because I do. Too much. When all is said and done, my series will be about 740,000 words. All written in about a year and a half. That is... a remarkable feat, shocking even to myself. It was a result of the longest actively cultivated dedication and hyperfocus I've ever had. To keep this up, I have been purposefully strained from all my hobbies and even other movies and shows to not get in the way of my "Avatar high". My stories together are over 10 times bigger than my dissertation which I finished while writing the sequel. Geez.

My sadness over starting these stories primarily stems from how as soon as Avatar 3 comes out, the void that these 740,000 words fill for myself, Avatar readers, Quaritch, and recom fans is officially filled. And I hate, despite the frothing at the mouth excitement I have for Avatar 3, how sad that makes me. Sure some people here and there will still find my stories, but I don't see how there will be much interest and demand given the third film and new canon. I accept that, even for my own mind, but it still saddens me deeply. At least my stories will be able to breathe on their own for about a year and a half before Avatar 3 releases.

I just wish to close this interesting, complex, and fulfilling chapter of my life. So happy to have done it with such a dedicated cabal of amazing readers. Everyone has been so kind and supportive and your enjoyment has kept the fire going 🔥. As a thank you, I hope you can all tell that I've been desperate to keep up the quality of each chapter. I never want to give the impression of losing interesting or untidily wrapping it up. I am as dedicated to the closing of this fic as you all are to read it.

I won't say I'll *never* write again. There will be a four year gap between Avatar 3 and 4 and I think Quaritch is going to do some cool stuff in A3. Maybe I'll be inspired again. But damn I really do love Zu and her and Quaritch’s little made-up family. It would be hard to let them go.
