#well rule of rose sort of xD

[thecrimsonvalley-creates]

~ Once upon a time... ~ Crawling into the new year and giving Frank some much needed love in the form of fanart. I've so many projects that I wish to do based around quotes from other video games I adore that just align so well with Rusty Lake characters. This one from Rule of Rose really just embodies poor Frank and his ordeal throughout life. Feel totally justified in giving this man some much needed peace of mind and stability in our Rusty Lake AU T3T

[princess-of-the-corner]

Say, recall that alt butterfly we discussed, IE how the Peacock & Sentimonsters are too akin to Akuma so why not smoosh them together ETC.

So in that idea, Familiars were a thing the Butterfly could make in place of or alongside certain Akuma. That were connected to the Akumatized Item & fed off their makers emotions & energy passively for months until they "Manifest" IE become real creatures as Feast did. Familiars replaced as the source of the Akuma-Kids via Emilie not realizing forcing a Familiar to manifest right away takes a huge chunk of the givers vitality.

With that context re-established, what sort of Familiars do you think characters would get?

I ask as they tend to operate a bit like Akuma in that the Butterfly user can't just whip up whatever he wants, only at best influence the resulting creature. Hence why Fu's Familiar was driven solely by his starvation trauma & eats uncontrollably.

Gabriel's is basically a copy of Emilie's former Familiar, IE a big butterfly that exists to shield, evacuate & when all else fails defend the family with a piercing strike. (Hilariously this means it may not hurt Adrien, ever)

Nathalie's was basically her bending and stretching every rule and the resulting Familiar's creation nearly killing her as a result. IE forcing the Butterfly cosplay as the Creation Miraculous is a bad idea. So she's an outlier, but what do you think others might be?

Some ideas I have would be like:

Reflekta's Familiar is "Hype", that sort of lets her enhance and project herself and her powers over a greater radius in reflection of wanting to be heard and boosted up. It may look like Rose or be a sort of weird combo of camera, mirror & microphone.

Low key could actually see Lollipop Boy's being exactly the same XD

Andre's Familiar I could see being a spin on Mega Leech with Life Leech, basically it latches onto a target and drains them to empower him.

Jagged's Stone's could be a creative spin on Familiar Creation by essentially Akumatizing Fang alongside him. Could fit well with your, "Jagged Stone has magic" stuff to, as he can use aspects of Akumatization in ways others can't.

I keep trying to imagine Marinette's and basically just et a sword wielding hamster from Redwall XD

love the idea of a sword-wielding hamster lmao!

On one hand using that to warp Fang could be nice, but on the other hand I got the image of both 'Fang becomes Dragon because he's already a Familiar' and then Jagged gets another one on top and Fang has beef with it.

❤️✨Their magic is bound to their souls. Their soul power allows them to summon their main weapon and manipulate their element like Thomas being able to lift the dirt and use them as platforms. Or Percy being able to create huge tornados.✨❤️

🧡✨They can also gain more power from objects containing their element, like Oliver being able to suck the electricity out of a lamp, or or Duck using the sun to “recharge”.✨🧡

💛✨When two of the same elemental engines are fighting together, their power increases very much like Donald and Douglas fighting an enemy together. Some engines have a hard time fighting together like Paxton and D10 because D10’s fire will usually burn Paxton’s vines but sometimes it can work like Duck’s light reflecting off of Mavis’ metal and blind an enemy.✨💛

💚✨On Halloween, Friday the 13th, Lunar Eclipse, and full moon the ghost engines, coaches and humans go into their living form and can be touched and actually feel things. All of this also goes for the fan kids too @the-annon-cult-leader XD!✨💚

💙✨The ghost engines and coaches’ powers are weakened and feral because they’re dead and have no flesh or real body to possess and let their power thrive, so, they need a bit more of protection and need to be more cautious so they don’t accidentally hurt others. They also have a hard time summoning their powers and their elemental nails are faded…✨💙

💜✨But speaking of the fan kids, they have both of their parents’ elemental powers like Jewel (Me and Dougie’s kid) having both his plasma powers and my Suit of Card powers. The same rules apply for the kids in having the flowers, teardrop, ring, ect. If the kids have kids with each other, then those kids (The Grandkids) will have all four elements. But only two will overpower the others, they’ll still have all four it’s just that two will be better than the other two like let’s say Jewel and Flynn (Thomas and Percy’s son) have a kid, then they’ll have all four but maybe they’ll be better with Plasma and Air. It’s all random really.✨💜

🩷✨Now with them as engines, they don’t have their drivers or firemen anymore because back in the 80’s Thomas was the first engine to discover that they could turn into humans and spread the word to the others. Then, one of the drivers figured out that the engines could gain full control of themselves, and like before, it was spread to the others and before anyone knew it, the engines were in full control of themselves and one by one, their drivers and firemen retired, leaving the engines to think and do things for themselves. But some engines aren’t capable of doing this, mainly the mentally, physically ill, or engines who are just too rowdy who can’t/don’t want to be left alone.✨🩷

❤️✨The engines are now seen as people who do have rights and are able to marry, vote, go to jail, ect. The engines are able to marry humans but it isn’t as common so me and Dougie being a couple wasn’t too welcomed at first. Even though they may be able to turn into humans, they don't need to eat, drink, sleep. The girls don’t have periods and they don’t go through puberty like us humans. The closest things to engine puberty is like Henry getting his new boiler.✨❤️

🧡✨If the engines laugh really hard, like a wheeze kind of laugh, you might hear their horns/whistles.✨🧡

💛✨Now for having kids, I think the most logical (and somewhat pg) thing they can do is have some sort of magical blood ritual. The engines and coaches don’t have DNA to pass on to the carrier so they have to pray to Lady for her assistance. She'll prick the left ring finger of each lover and let the blood drip into a small glass vial while they’re asleep as to not give her identity away. She'll then sprinkle Gold Dust, an angel's laugh, a ray of the sun, a rose petal, and a slice of a rainbow and shake it up very well. Then, she pours it into the Lake of Life in her Magic Railway, allowing the child to come to life. She picks up the baby, dries them off, and swaddles them in a pink or blue blanket, as she drops them off in a basket in the front door of the parent's home. (The baby is in the house dw) and the next morning, the parents will find their new child, ready to start their life.✨💛

💚✨For being assigned their element, the engines and Fankids will go through a ritual of sorts. Think of Tinkerbell finding her talent, that’s how it goes for them too. One element will call to them most and that will be their's forever.✨💚

💙✨Lady and Gazelle are their Goddesses. They gave life to the first object they saw which was their engine body in 1805. The Magic Railway is Train Heaven TM created by both sisters together. It was only when the humans figured out how her magic worked, did they steal some from her and give life to the coaches, trucks, breakvans, ect.✨💙

💜✨The engines' blood is sparkly and swirls around like mica powder in water. For Steamies, it’s much more watery and drippy than regular human blood and faintly smells of smoke and coal, but for Diesels, it’s more thick and sluggish than human blood and faintly smells of diesel fuel. Here’s a good photo of what their blood would look like. ✨💜

Danganronpa Despair Time Chapter 2: Episodes 3, 4, and 5

Episode 3

-so no teruko traitor reveal? pog 

-monotv’s incompetence makes him my favorite host of any killing game. reminds me a lot of danganronpa: safety’s on, basically DR1 but Monokuma is about as incompetent as MonoTV is. it’s a great read, highly reccommended.

-teruko being bad at caulking a bathroom is so me. also of course monotv isn’t going to reveal the information but him not knowing it himself is interesting.

-hey, nice caulk.

-people changing clothes being this big thing is very funny

-charles’ straight up phobia of blood is uh... there’s clearly something deeper going on here

-teruko, put the fucking knife away. as much as it’s within reason that you’d be this paranoid, this does make you look like you are trying to murder Charles here, at least to him.

-id love to know whose motive Charles had, now that Teruko’s got it.

-loving charles and teruko actually being friends of some sort now that their positions have basically reversed since chapter 1.

-Chiteruko? i actually like the idea of those three as a polycule and want to see more whit/teruko interactions.

-MonoTV jumping on charles XD

-teruko playing with cacti i literally cannot???? best scene in chapter 2 by FAR

-living for the eden jumpscare here

-THE EDEN GREMLIN SPRITE MAKES ITS APPEARANCE. GOD I LOVE HER.

-Eden’s hope speech is also iconic. Her knowing the world is kinda fucked but still being kind anyways is something Teruko clearly needed to hear.

Episode 4

-what is the tea

-the gurlz are fighting

-naur

-teruko sandwich duck face

-ace markey, the ultimate allistic

-by all rules of danganronpa arei should have died here, and i am so grateful monotv isn’t competent enough to actually enforce the rules but at the same time is arei the mastermind? ofc he wouldn’t kill the mastermind.

-veronika living for the fights is also very me

-’you’ve been acting jerkishly as well’ eden she is literally being deadnamed and STALKED are you blind. J is 100% in the right here.

-nico fucking roasting ace is funny, and i get why he’d think its constructive criticism because i too am autistic and would think much the same.

-see, veronika gets it

-when death threats are the only way to properly resolve an argument

-arei lashing out at monotv is iconic tbh

-jesus christ arei yeah that reaction is a sensible one given your circumstances

-”hey, just so you know, failed hanging attempts are pretty painful” teruko wtf, im not entirely sure how that was intended to be helpful?

-we know what the tea is

-the gurlz are still fighting

-naur

-teruko has 99 problems and these bitchez aren’t about to be number 100

-charles making cucumber flowers is iconic

-DAVID YES YOU STEP IN THERE AND HELP THEM

-yeah people are gonna be... super hesitant about the motive secret thing, and teruko defo needs to talk to the person whose motive was originally charles’ as well as rose, whose she has

-see, j at least has the decency to ask the person before telling their secret

-eden has a dude’s motive secret evidently, maybe levi’s? that would be significant.

-who is the someone they’re inviting

Episode 5

-Arei’s typical ew reaction to everything, unsurprising. Makes sense she’d want to talk about motive though given her position.

-Granted leaving Arei out was before Xander died but nO AREI YOU ARE BECOMING A WORSE TERUKO LIKE AM I THE ONLY ONE NOTICING THE PARALLEL HERE OR AM I SEEING THEM WHERE THERE ARENT ANY?

-Teruko’s reaction being what it is does not surprise me.

-MORE AREI GREMLIN SPRITES WOOT

-oh wow arei actually wasn’t bluffing when she said she had nothing to hide

-is _ illegal nahhhh let arei be a girlboss yall just dont want to see women win

-teruko please stop acting as if you have any moral high ground here 

-i mean unless something like this happened to you then thats another matter entirely

-the true arei trauma dump. contextualizes literally everything about her in a way that actually makes me fascinated with her as a wonderfully complex character. 

-naturally this would develop into a philosophy where kindness is weakness, yeah

-DAVREI??? FUCK YES I SHIP IT!!

-ah, rose time

-yass art therapy, but i can understand why teruko was so freaked out by it

-in all fairness i dont know how you would respond to someone saying the stuff rose was about teruko

-TERUKO THATS LIKE SAYING I HATE YOU TO AN ARTIST?? LIKE CMON TERUKO YOU ARE MAKING IT REALLY HARD FOR ME TO DEFEND YOU THIS CHAPTER

-naturally, rose is fine with the secret coming out. she even has her own trauma dump scene with teruko

-i mean we been knew that teruko didn’t actually mean any of that and now rose maybe does?

-nico was mother for that tbh

-please don’t forget him down there ;-;

-the implication that nico actually likes the teruko gore art is an interesting one

-loving how nico wants rose to teach him painting omg

[shilothewhite]

Finally saw the tag @crazy-fruit (tumblr mobile is weird sometimes, sorry ^^')

RULES: answer the questions, then tag some folx you want to get to know better/catch up with.

Last Song: I'm not sure what the actual last song was, but I've been listening to Doc Holliday a lot lately. I really enjoy that weird Country/Rock Mix.

Last Show: It's been a while since a show really captured me, but I guess the last ones I finished were The Legend of Vox Machina and Harlem? Sometimes I just start watching something and then lose interest within the first two episodes, so it's a bit hard to say xD

Currently Watching: Kinda in between shows right now, so nothing truly..I guess you could count Der Schwarm, which I started watching because I remembered liking the book back then. (And sort of some weird geman soap opera about a Hotel that I watched because I was bored as hell, jokingly/casually started shipping two characters and apparently I'm gonna continue, because I'm old and that's my life now).

Currently Reading: Just finished Menschen, Göttern gleich (Men Like Gods) by H.G. Wells and I'm about to start Der Name der Rose, 'cause I only know the movie so far. And I'm trying to finally finish The Horus Heresy series xD

Current Obsession: Oh god..nothing I would count as an obsession? For some reason Motherland: Fort Salem has been on my mind for a while now, which is why I kind of lost my writing flow (gotta get back to my lovely niche german crime show soon ^^'), but I wouldn't call it an obsession really

Unrelated Obsession: I mean, I didn't even have one, let alone two? :D How about a potential future obsession: my flatmate is trying to get me to start painting miniatures for the Warhammer 40k tabletop game (mostly because he hates painting), and there's a solid 50:50 chance that I will either hate it or become obsessed with it xD

Since I mostly just lurk around, I don't really have anyone to tag, sorry :/ (yay socially inept/shy people ^^)

[power-of-plot]

Iida, Mirio, and Aizawa dating hcs please

Of course! But holy cow apparently this seriously inspired me, i hope this is ok xd

I I D A

Oh yes robot boi. Iida is someone nerdy in every aspect, his language even with close friends like Midoriya is very formal and polite, the same rule would apply when it comes to his significant other. Unlike what some would think, this doesn’t give your conversations a cold touch, on the contrary, it’d make him look chivalrous.

He’s a classic gentleman, he’d be the kind who opens the door and waits for you to walk in first or gives you his jacket when it’s too cold and you don’t have anything to cover yourself with, the second one would happen often in the classroom if you’re sensitive to cold. We are talking about U.A have you seen the measures of the classrooms and the entire area? It’s impossible they don’t have those huge air conditioners.

He highly respects the rules wich means, no PDA, on a certain level, no kisses to be specific. That doesn’t mean he won’t give you any affection, though every gear of his robotic soul is having a bad time working properly inside, he’d hold your hand or put his over your shoulder pulling you close when you’re sitting together. 

He definitely would do that thing of caressing you with his thumb. As you expected it from Tenya, this is a sort of robotic motion, his finger would move like a metronome but that doesn’t make it any less nicer, he is slow and gentle.

Honestly, he’d be nervous most of the time. ALSO! Tenya is very thoughtful, he’d ask (often verbally) if you’re okay with whatever he’d do, as times goes by the questions turn non verbal, for example he’d hold his hand above yours waiting for you to give green light or grasp it. 

“..Can i hold your hand?” “Sure!” “*DEEP INHALE AND BLUSH*” He couldn’t help to blush the first times. Specially on the firsT kiss but how would it be? A clasic scenenario after classes! And after you both have grown comfortable enough to each other’s touch. Seriously, if you like to go slow he's got you.

You two would be walking around in the campus after classes and he feels the tension grow.. he is analyzing every detail, he wants to ask but what if things get extremely awkward, he’s very tall- he’d have to bend down slightly (unless you’re nearly as tall as him) to do it so what if you flinch because it was unexpected.. he stops walking, he simply manages to say your name. You stared into each other's eye and then it happened, a big smile unexplainably forms in his lips complemented by a scarlet color across his whole face, his haircut made his head look like a strawberry.

There are going to be days you don't see him as much as you'd like, Tenya is very comitted to his hero patrols, he certainly would do extra hours from time to time or if the situation called for it. Let him know you like his hero suit! He’s thankful it has a helmet otherwise his flustered face would be exposed. 

Whatever position you cuddle in Iida would wrap his arms around you, not only that, he’d interlock his fingers so he has a nice grip. His cuddles would be the classic spooning or having your head on his shoulder with your arm over his chest and in case you worry about his arm, this guy doesn’t know limb numbness- he literally tenses and holds his arms up every five minutes.

He sends good morning/good night texts often on the weekends since you're practically living together thanks to the dormitory system, they vary depending on the day, some are a reminder to get a proper amount of sleep or! To get done with homework so you can enjoy your free time and maybe ask if he can go over to study *cough spend time together*

He'd send the classic heart emoji, very detailed but easy to comprehend videos explaining any difficult lesson and history related stuff like paint restorations or facts about iconic sculptures. Please don’t send him those videos of people accidentally breaking things on museums, he’s gonna feel like something breaks inside.

M I R I O

This ray of sunshine fell for you? Your luck is so big you’d get jackpot on a slot machine on the first try-. You’re undeniably going to be good friends with Tamaki and Nejire, specially her, expect to get questions one after another without the chance to reply when she finds out you’re Mirio’s significant other, Tamaki would take it way better.

Mirio’s goofyness and confidence combined with his feelings give a unique result: he literally spoke to the boss of mafia himself twice like he was the manager in a store, but, the case is different when you’re around, he’s saying and actually good joke and suddenly.. it goes away, his mind goes blank. “So what happened after Mirio..?” “Ah.. i had practiced a lot, i don’t know what happened haha my bad!”

You’re going to get tons of his jokes and something more “intense” such as the classic “What’s in your shirt?” to make you look down so he can boop your nose with his finger, you should expect some gentle headpats as well. 

If you’re shy he’s cool about it, he knows what do and adaptates to your pace, you’d start off with hand holding or rather pinky holding, he’d interwine his pinky with yours and show a bright smile. His hugs are the warmest, he doesn’t do it half-assesly, when you hug, YOU HUG, he uses both arms and slightly lifts you up! Height or strength are not a problem he’s actually one cm taller than Iida i just found out

He seems like the kind who loses their pen or eraser despite seeing it on their desk just one minute ago, if you happen to be that kind as well you’re both going to lay down your faith on poor Tamaki’s hands, i’m sure he has all his material complete.

He hardly ever gets nervous or scared by anything, things like the first kiss would go pretty smooth, instead of blushing intensely he’d just chuckle with slight disbelief, his mind is racing like “I just did that? woah!”. The biggest trouble for him would be gifts, he wants it to be perfect but asking Nejire for advice is not a good idea, roses are too formal and they don’t last long, going to the movies seems a little cliche.. his first gift would end up being a plushie of your favorite animal and a bamboo.

He’d sneak a kiss or two, specially before the class is begginning a training session, he’d send you a text telling you to go outside the changing rooms and oop! He phases through the wall poking out his head to give you a kiss kiss. If you don’t mind a prank from time to time he’d give a little scare using his quirk.

This guy is the big spoon during cuddles, no arguing! He could switch but as time goes by he’d slowly shift into the big spoon, that’s just the way he is, the most usual position would be where you’re facing each other with your limbs wrapping around the other’s body. Waking up with him would be adorable and attractive, morning and night are the only times of the day when his hair isn’t gelled into his All Might-like hairstyle, those blonde locks would frame his face, a heavenly sight.

Would send you a pic of stray animals he rescued with a “:D!” and Sir. Nighteye 'torturing' Bubble girl (half of his head visibly on a corner of the image). If you longed for a pet badly he would bring a nice dog/cat he finds around! In his hero suit to make the moment more special. 

He uses the smiling emojis and emoticons! And shares videos of animals he finds adorable, if you sent him fails videos he'd laugh as long as the falls don't seem extreme or too severe, small trips on the beach or slips on the snow are fine. Mirio sends gifs i just know.

A I Z A W A

Have you taken a look at him? You must be a big The Walking Dead fan to like him lmao. Aizawa gives me an unexplainable gut feeling that he'd prefer a civilian (perhaps quirkless?) significant other over a hero, he wouldn't want his partner to go into the same dangerous situations he does.

His affection is tired, let me explain, he'd hug you and all that physical stuff but it'd kinda feel like his arms fall limply around you, still, even with his minuscule clingyness he loves you with all his might! He doesn't fall for anyone.

Not very fond of PDA, in public he'd preferr temple/forehead kisses and having your hand on the crook of his arm instead of hand holding (thinking about it Iida would do that too), seems more discret and! you don't let go when his hands are busy. He'd initiates it by gently resting your hand on his arm and sinking his hand into his pocket.

Surprise! He does smile, not that maniactic-looking grin he has sometimes during his shifts at U.A when a student impresses him, this one is less wide but somehow more tender and sweet, he tilts his head and for once his eyes seem relaxed, a relationship would make his cheeks hurt.. either for he's not used to smile so much or he smiles more than he thought he would.

If you give him a cat.. that's a strong blow straight to one of his weakest spots, he'd stare both at you and the kitten with a dumbfounded look before picking it up in his arm like a baby, his hand gravitates towards his it's head giving some nice pets before he shows a rare and somewhat bright smile "Thank you very much." Next time have a camera ready damnit! That smile rarely shows up.

He's practical, he wants his gifts to be nice but useful as well. He’d get you those mugs with candies inside, you get the candy and you can use the mug later for your coffee or tea; a power bank with a nice color or design and in case he choses something smaller: a bamboo, those one don’t wither away. Aizawa is fine with whatever you get for him, big or small he appreciates it. Sweaters, scarfs and blankets would be his favorite thing to get though, he likes to stay warm while working late at night

He’s sneaky, as an underground hero he’s used to work at times when the streets look disolated and the dark crime has more freedom to do as it pleases, he wouldn’t want to wake you up unless you asked him to. He’d leave a note on is pillow with the time he wrote it at and a short loving phrase like “i love you, i’ll be back soon, good morning”, before he leaves he’d always lift the sheet up to your neck or drag it away if you seem to be kicking it off you and give you a small kiss.

You’d find him passed out in his sleeping bag with his laptop besides him at random spots of his appartment, if it wasn’t because of the unatura position he adopts to fit in his sleeping bag he’d give you a death scare ‘cause let’s be honest he doesn’t look one hundred percent alive even when he’s awake. “Shota..? Shota can you hear me?!” “I’m not dead.”

Hibrid of big-small spoon. Most of the times you cuddle he’s asleep and you go snuggle him, his hair is a mess so better prepare to get tickled all night. He pull you close the best way he can when you’re behind him, not very comfortable for his arm but it’s worth it. He’d have you like a pillow over him, his chin over your head and both arms around you.

This man doesn’t bother typing when he can use his voice, the only situations he uses regular text messages are when he’s on shift or with you sleeping next to him. Send him gifs of kittens and a ‘i love you’ it instanstly gives him a good mood! He’d send pics of cats he sees around and gifts he bought you, doesn’t use emojis.

*COLLAPSES ON THE GROUND* Big oof- requests are open.

[toujoursmiraculous]

Thoughts and Reaction to ROCKETEAR!

It's a long post, but when are these ever really short? xD Seeing Carapace first made me so excited. I've been sad we haven't had much of him in the show. And then I saw that it seemed like Ladynoir was doing pretty good as they only had Carapace helping them this time. More S2 & S3 like. So I was like cool, cool, this is great. But what the heck scientist WHY ARE YOU BRINGING TYRANNOSAURUS REX'S BACK! Obviously she's going to be something big later on, she's too nicely animated not to be back. Not to mention Bob Roth's plans. Anyone else both intrigued but also scared at what that could do later? Big upcoming plot point, I think.

I screamed awwww because this is everything. I've wanted a LB/Carapace and Marinette/Nino friendship bond in this show since season 1. This scene made me incredibly happy! I'm a huge Nino fan, for those that don't know, so you can imagine how much I love this episode. Even though sad Nino.

"Alya, everyone has to believe that you will never use the Miraculous again!" End of episode: So anyway... So what I'm seeing here is, Alya's not fond of the idea of being just a spy, not being in on the action. Even though it's Ladybug's plan. Chat Noir isn't fond of what's going on right now either, where he thinks what's going on is all Ladybug's plans. Alya makes the decision to not do what Ladybug wants and tells Nino she's still Rena Rouge. So what's Chat Noir going to do to go against her? Because that's coming up on the horizon. Despite everything being easier for Marinette since everything's not just on her shoulders now, she's still been unable to play video games with her dad, and we know how much she loves doing that. :c That's really sad she doesn't even have time for her family anymore. DJWifi over here being all adorable. "You don't love me anymore!" Me: *Chat Blanc flashbacks* Alya suggests her new content could be Chat Noir edits and Marinette's like YES DO THOSE. Then those edits helped push Nino into thinking she was into Chat. Big oops. Not gonna lie, the rewind freaked me out for a moment. Last time I saw that was Chat Blanc so I thought something big was up. But nope, it's just like that scene in Puppeteer 2. Ugh poor Nino! He knows something's bothering Alya, but she won't say what it is and her behavior's too off from how she normally is. Poor guy. x.x Grumpy Nino that Carapace doesn't get attention and then they wrote his girlfriend with Chat Noir. I remember when Alya was grumpy for a bit about Rena Rouge not getting a party to celebrate her. Movie Ladybug telling Movie Chat Noir that he's better with Movie Rena Rouge. Is this a reference to the episode in Avatar, The Ember Island Players? Getting strong vibes when Play Aang and Play Katara were like, we're just friends nothing more and it's great! Play Katara was extremely into Play Zuko. I can see why Ladybug dismissed the movie (or was it the previous one since it's been awhile? Maybe?) because Rena Rouge and Chat Noir???? The writers (of the movie) just wanted to be different because everyone can see Ladynoir, unless they're blind. Alya and Nino are Andre's favorite couple. YES THANK YOU. I mean they're not my favorite because Love Square. BUT they're my second favorite next to them. Those kids are super adorable but definitely that kid playing Chat wasn't doing Nino any favors. First picture Alya shows. Chat with a heart tail. Yeah that's not doing her any favors lol. Nino: UGH CHAT NOIR'S COMING IN BETWEEN ME AND MY GIRLFRIEND. I KNOW, I'LL CALL MY BEST FRIEND TO VENT TO ABOUT IT. Best Friend Chat Noir: Best Friend Chat Noir: Welp maybe I should see what's up. Maybe I went a little to hard on the cat charm and she's fallen in love with me. Me: Oh oof here we go. Also can I ask, if anyone knows, who animated this episode? The fluidity is great and it looks really pretty. But it doesn't quite look like SAMG's work either. Whoever did it, I love it. S2 Chat Noir: You're not replacing me with a turtle, are you? :c S4 Nino: Who would want a reckless turtle as a partner? BOYS STOP. But yeah this whole scene had me laughing so hard XD Very dramatic and I love it. Nino's hilarious even when he's worried and sad! I would've absolutely loved to have heard this in English with the old English voice of Nino, but the new one worries me on whether or not he'll do a good job sounding like Nino and less high-pitched and whiny. :/ New York Nino was great but S4 Nino....x.x THE TRANSITION BETWEEN HIS INNER MONOLOGUE AND SPEAKING REGULARLY AGAIN 😂😂😂😂 Brilliant! It doesn't really feel like Miraculous Ladybug this episode, and I love it. Not that I don't love the show as usual but wow this is great. Okay, I want to point out that Chat Noir

probably was more worried about it than he would've been otherwise because of what happened with Marinette in Weredad. It probably made him more cautious about this sort of thing.

LOL Chat's sulking because Alya's laughing at the idea of being interested in him. 😂😂 I know that's a blow to one's ego and all, and he's dealt with this kind of thing a lot so I do feel bad for him, but that is his best friend's girlfriend and he definitely doesn't want her to like him. Alya: With him it's not just ❤️it's *makes massive hand gesture indicating she loves him deeply* SO SO SO CUTE OKAY ALL THIS DJWIFI 😭 Alya: And I don't even know your secret identity! I would never fall in love with someone I don't know. Chat Noir, literally fell in love with Ladybug, whose identity he doesn't know. Well Alya, I wonder if you saying that matters for later somehow.... o.O Nino running away crying is honestly one of the things that hurts me most in the entire show. Ugh. Adrien over here being all, I'm having a good day. I'm happy and smiling and it's great. And then it wasn't. Adrien, if Nino let him and didn't interrupt, would've told him about how Alya really doesn't love Chat Noir, and that would've seriously led up to his identity being exposed since Nino was watching and filmed them. o.o Did you notice how he was going to tell him about it? S4, the basement is where it's at. Adrien: Uhh, when did you arrange all this? Nino: *pounds fist on desk* I ASK THE QUESTIONS! 😂 So like. Why is Nino interrogating Adrien when he's after Chat Noir? He doesn't know they're the same person. XD He's looking at him like Adrien has info he's keeping or something omg.

Also again this animation is so nice. Adrien, feeling uncomfortable and so turns the music off. Nino, wanting his dramatic music on while he interrogates Adrien, turns it back on. Adrien, feeling even more irritated and uncomfortable, wants the music OFF and turns it off. Nino, turns the music back on. This may be a reference to something, I don't know, but lolol it's so funny. This episode is both super hilarious and super angsty! Honestly they've done such a good job in my opinion. Nino: I'm talking about something that I shouldn't tell you! ...but I'm going to tell you anyway! Alya's Rena Rouge and I'm Carapace! Okay but the way Adrien went from shock to utter anger, knocked his chair back and grabbed Nino's shoulders like "Tell me the truth. You two know about each other?" Aw man, my poor sunshine boy. A lot of the stuff bothering Adrien is all circumstantial, none of it is to purposefully keep him in the dark. And yet from his perspective, that's how it looks. "I thought secret identities must be protected at all times! If that was the truth, you would never tell me this!" Alright so three things. If he's referring to him saying that Nino and Alya know about each other, that was situational and important info for him to know now that this is out. It wasn't important to know before this. The time it happened was dire and was really no time to get around it. If he's talking about Nino telling him the secrets, well yeah that's not supposed to happen and Nino broke that trust. But also, I get the feeling pretty strongly at this point Adrien's going to be breaking some rules too and one of which is he's going to tell Nino who he is. Adrien's being too emotional in this scene to not be involved in it all, I'm wondering if that's going to be questioned later by Nino. He's acting like he knows too much to be a random viewer of the heroes like the rest of Paris. Also Adrien's best friend just totally dissed Chat Noir and went off about how he throws himself at Ladybug whenever he sees her with roses and love confessions. 😂😂😂 This is just too funny! "But he's always rejected because Ladybug finds him annoying! And she's completely right!" Omg Nino, that's not the reason anymore, shush! "And then Rena Rouge appears and he goes *tickles under Adrien's chin* hey pretty lady! You look elegant and you have great perfume." OMG does Chat Noir actually say and do stuff like that to Rena Rouge or is he just exaggerating here XD "If I could I would shut his mouth forever!" Yeah Nino, say what you really think about your best friend in the entire world. Yikes poor Adrien though. I never imagined he'd hear all these bad things about himself from his best friend directly like that. :/ That's a major misunderstanding of him. Which kind of pushes me more towards the "he's going to tell Nino" theory. Sad Adrien transformation DDDX Alya: *explained everything about why Chat Noir went over to her house in the middle of the night* Marinette *facepalm* Ugh that Chat Noir... Well at least there will be no misunderstandings there! xD "Chat Noir, you stole Alya from me! I will steal your life from you." Good lord man calm down. You can't just kill a man! Fanon: Chat Noir gets attacked by a guy over Marinette. Canon: Chat Noir gets attacked by a guy over Alya. Time to go back to the basement! lol Nino's music's still playing xD And the video is left with it paused on Chat Noir hugging Alya. Marinette looked a bit sad, but it was probably more about the situation being a mess rather than being sad he'd hug her. Meanwhile, Chat Noir's fighting Nino and would rather get beaten up by him than fight. x.x "I can't believe that I doubted you." "I can't believe I chose to do anything but be with you!" She wiped away akumatized Nino's tear just like how Ladybug wiped away akumatized Chat Noir's. ALL THE PARALLELS 😭😭😭 But that hug is so sweet!! Nino broke off the akumatization just like Alya did :o Dang, I wonder if that means something later too. "Love and secrets do not go well together, Ladybug. And I'm sure you have a lot of

them!" Secrets = from Chat Noir. Love = for Chat Noir. Yeah even Shadow Moth knows at this point. xP Thanks for that foreshadowing. Nino's charm is my favorite charm so far! It's my favorite shade of blue. Chat Noir: Everybody has doubts sometimes...even me." Ladybug: Is everything okay, Chat Noir? Chat: Oh yes...pound it!

So um. The placemet of Adrien's poster in between Chat Noir, Ladybug, and just with this entire situation feels very strange. Very intentional. But no clue exactly what that could mean..... Nino and Alya are happy over there watching those two, like they're waiting for them to figure things out or something. But really, Adrien should've talked to Ladybug when he could still do so calmly and be reasonable. I doubt that's going to be the case later on. And honestly Ladybug doesn't even know what's going on. Every episode we've seen really either has them working together or she's unable to be Ladybug when he's unable to be Chat Noir most of the time. I've said it before but these two really need to communicate. Nino and Alya are like a less adorably romantic version of what they'd be. "But they're a couple and they know their secret identities, so why does that rule exist for us but they can know?" Very simple. Because they were temporary holders and the Miraculous they had, Hawk Moth hasn't made it his life's mission to obtain, unlike them, who are permanent holders and Hawk Moth's been after them fiercely to make a Wish that could destroy everything. But. The fact he's asking this, and Marinette's Chat Blanc nightmare, really points in the direction that he's going to eventually find out that while she's thought about telling him all along, Chat Blanc's kept her from doing so.

Okay, so while it looks like he's staring up at the moon, if you notice, it really is just one of the pink bubbles.

Now, they could be making it seem like it's the moon though to give it a double meaning. But poor Kitty, he's feeling so awful right now over in that dark corner Dx Nino felt bad for only two episodes? and it got resolved, so hopefully this all won't last too much longer for him! Marinette had a few shaky episodes so hopefully he'll have a few before it gets resolved. But somehow I think that may be wishful thinking. This episode was so amazing, honestly. Wonderful writing, made me laugh a lot, aw a lot, and hurt a lot. It focused on the core 4 characters which I've wanted more of for a long time. The animation was beautiful. And it just felt so different in such a good way. Chat Noir's having a hard time right now, and I know there's a lot of anger and hate about it going around. But please, think of this as him hitting a rough spot in the road to a much better and brighter future. He's going to end up okay, he'll understand it all someday. And that day's honestly not that far for him if you think about it.

[lunapwrites]

ohhh may i have LTL 17 take 3, or 9 crimes (more exerpts), orrrr untitled document 8 please?

Ooooh lemme see what I can grab here :D

OHHHH. LTL 17 take 3 was when I tried to rewrite the transformation scene from Sirius' POV to see if I could get through it any easier, so this doc picks up right where the other ended haha. Lemme just look through the others rq...

9 crimes (more excerpts) was me comparing before and after paragraphs for... I think this is chapter 12? The quidditch one.

Untitled document 8 is ANOTHER LTL 17 attempt, also from Sirius' POV... I think I'll actually give you a bit of this, and then the other, if that's ok. XD (9 crimes didn't have anything new lol)

Dropping both under the break for length-purposes. <3

-

Some of the senior Order members showed up to coordinate some massive intelligence briefing they were supposed to have soon (sensitive information, very hush-hush) and they’d wanted to schedule it for Wednesday — only Remus couldn’t make it, obviously, owing to the fact that he’d be in a bit of a hairy situation that night. And that by itself wasn’t a dealbreaker — Sirius was more than up to the task of briefing him afterwards — only Arthur, of all people, had asked if Remus would be making himself scarce for the evening. Which, well, he couldn’t, owing to the whole unofficial house-arrest bit. They had the option between holding the meeting with Remus locked safely in the cellar, or relying on secret missives and word of mouth and hoping they weren't overheard or intercepted. They chose the latter. Remus, saint that he was, kept a stiff upper lip about it. (“Right. Excuse me for a moment.” “Oi, where you going?” “Oh, I dunno Dung. Thought I’d nip over to the shops for a bite — I’m going for a piss, is that allowed? Or do I need a minder now? Make sure I don’t eat anyone on the way there, like.” “Now, now, we’re all friends here, Lupin—” “Shut the fuck up Doge.”) …Sort of. Arthur had pulled Sirius aside afterwards and insisted he hadn’t meant anything by it — he’d only been curious, not uncomfortable — but the damage was done. And it was Remus he’d needed to apologise to, only Remus hadn't returned to the meeting after he'd stormed off. Sirius found him holed up in the study, nursing the remnants of the last bottle of whisky and taking apart the old grandfather clock again with a harsh set to his shoulders and an aura like hazard tape: danger, do not cross. So he hadn't. Anyway, that had been Sunday.

And then...

It was quicker now than it used to be, for a mercy, but Padfoot still stood between Moony — now sprawled across the floor with his chest heaving like he’d run a marathon — and Dora, who stood at his right flank with her hand hovering over the wand strapped to her thigh. Remus would appreciate the caution, if the potion worked (and even more if it didn’t.) Moony rose to his feet slowly, shaking himself from head to tail — it fluffed his fur up adorably, though Sirius would never tell him that to his face — and sat back on his haunches, regarding them with a curious, amber-eyed stare. Padfoot met his gaze unblinkingly, a low growl sounding through his chest.  You know the rules, Remus. You set them. Moony yawned and lay down flat on the floor, head on his paws, tail wagging slowly behind him. Padfoot approached cautiously, sticking his nose directly against Moony’s cheek.  No reaction. A good sign — a good start — but he had to be sure. Remus would never forgive him otherwise. Padfoot started forward as if he were about to pounce, claws digging into the floor. Moony’s ears pinned back, but he didn’t so much as flinch. Padfoot did it again. Twice, three times — and on the third jump, Moony moved with him, teeth grazing gently (playfully) against his jaw before he backed off and bowed down, eyes bright and tail flopping lazily over his back. Padfoot leapt forward, bowling Moony over and pinning him onto the floor, earning himself a series of bunny kicks to the belly for his trouble. Wolfsbane did nothing for the pain, but as selfish as it was, Sirius would be lying if he said this wasn’t worth it.

So that worked out nicely!

Thanks for the ask! <3 <3

[bloodied-thorns]

The nether was hot- Stifling so. Its heat rushed over her in waves, sweat seeping through the fabric of her gloves and sticking to her skin as she mined into the netherack, causing her to lose her grip on her pickaxe more times than she would like to admit.

The journey there had been a quick one; She had stuck to dimly lit areas when possible and kept her head down, trying to blend in as much as she could (which, y'know, was incredibly difficult for a six-foot-something… person but she managed). 

"For fucks sake!" She hissed, scrambling back as lava began gushing from the hole she'd just made and made the wise descision to quickly change directions," Fucking stupid hellscape!"

 Wanna know what else was stupid? HD, the fucking bitch.

Part of Rose wished for another war would occur, for both the misery and destruction factor (the lands would be ripped apart once again, leaving the bastard bloodied and bruised). While the other part wished for no such thing, foolishly craving happier times. Times where she was held in a higher regard, viewed in a brighter light.

She hoped that part of her suffocated and died. She hoped weeds would snuff the guilt-ridden thoughts. She hoped that- that she could make them hurt. Hurt as much as she was and-

Kchrrr!! 

Rose stared at her empty hands in momentary shock. Was iron that fucking useless now? 

No matter. She sighed, pulling her satchel closer to her body- if this all went wrong because of one, silly mistake, she doubted her ego would ever be able to heal itself- and flipped it open.

The contents of the bag were few, primarily consisting of a powdery, black substance, yet a small smile crawled onto her face.

Why? Well, for her own sake (and for the eyes that may be watching), she could not say. But maybe… just maybe… this holiday would end off with a bang. 

Although she would say otherwise, her hands shook slightly as she got to work, adrenaline pumping in her veins. 

It didn't matter if the gods would hate her and it didn't fucking matter if- if someone else got hurt ('Blaze deserves it.' She would repeat to herself, a mantra against the sick-feeling building up in her stomach. 'H3 didn't help you. H3 deserves it.' ). What mattered is that she got her fucking revenge.

 If she couldn't hit the enemy directly, she'd aim for his horse. And then watch, gleefully, as he lost his grip and was trampled on by his own steed.

What a painful way to go!

Perhaps, XD would suffer in a similar fashion? Yes, that would be ideal. Except, in his case, his mare would be named Pride.

    The surface of her crafting table was stained with a mixture of sand and gunpowder by the time she had finished, The cave she had dug out filled with more TNT then she could count (As it should be, anyway. Anything less and it wouldn't have the same effect).

Rose stretched, wincing at the sounds of her bones cracking when she did. As soon as she got back to the overworld, back to her bunker, she was going to take a nice, long nap!

And hide. 

Shit, yeah. Hiding from an angry god would be a really good idea.

 Nap and hide then! Preferably at the same time, but beggars can't be choosers! 

(Unless they were named after a flower and had a goddess wrapped around their finger, of course, giving them practically all the choices in the world. Then yeah. That statement still applies.)

"Cool! Glad that's sorted then!" She grinned. Oh this was going to be great! Absolutely wonderful! 

Oh! If she hid in the holy land… wait. Were gods exempted from other god's rules? She never quite understood how that whole thing worked.

    A nearby explosion (paired with the sound of angered squeals- maybe it would be best for her to take a different route back?) reminded her of the task at hand," Right! Thank you, random ghast!" 

She spun slowly on her feet, her eyes glowing almost brighter than lava itself," Oh, this is going to be great!" At this point of time, it was a statement of fact. Not fiction. Fact!

But if this was to go perfectly, she needed to calm the fuck down. A shaky hand could ruin everything in the blink of an eye.

Right. Calm. She could do calm.

  Closing her eyes, Rose took some deep breaths, feeling herself relax immediately. Cool! Good! Huzzah! Or, or whatever.

She pulled the satchel towards her front once more and blindly searched it for the most important item at-

Her hands met the smooth surface of steel and her grin widened, practically splitting her face in half. 

Now where the fuck was the flint hiding?

It took a couple more seconds to locate the sedimentary rock, but once she did, had it not been for how serious the situation was, she would have cheered.

Rose handled the items with utmost care, letting them rest in her palms as one would to.. perhaps a friend? They were familiar, something that grounded her in such a high-stakes moment.

Everything she'd done so far came to this. Kind of. Well, not really. To be honest, she hasn't expected XD to get so mad over having a little bit of fun. It was just playful banter. Gods! He was such a debbie-downer.

She felt around her pockets for a bottle, sighing in relief when she saw the potion sat at the bottom of her bag (Ask no questions and you shall receive no lies). That could come in handy later. Just In case things do go to shit.

Anyway, she was getting distracted.

Crouching next to the nearest explosive, Rose raised the flint and steel just above it, prepared to just ignite the piece of TNT and run when--

Stop. 

Oh gods, what if she hadn't thought this through? What if it didn't work? Oh Fuck. What was she doing? What was she fucking doing? This was a mess. A fucking mess. It wasn't going to end well. It's not going to end well. Not for her. Not for her at all! 

Why the fuck did she think this was a good idea? She needs to go.

Leave.

Quick! Before he found her. Before it was worse , she didn't want it to be worse! The pain would be bad. Very bad! She needed to go!

Bile rose in her throat as she suppressed a sob. She needed to leave! Now! Go, go back to the overworld an-and go!

    The trip back was a haze, panic gripping onto her senses and refusing to let go. Her eyes flickering around as the urge to go! Increased by a tenfold.

It was, for the most part, uneventful (besides a few near-mishaps with a few mobs, none of which were able to catch up with her). Though, had she been able to pay more attention, she would have registered the trail of booms! left behind her.

Thank you, random ghast.

MLQC headcanon-Meeting their daughter’s boyfriend

Oh look. More random headcanon crap XD

Victor

Victor’s daughter’s boyfriend will have to go through an intense background check and screening process

And that is before ultimately meeting Victor in person.

MC will have to constantly remind Victor to not use that stare.

The one where he uses when trying to coerce a business partner into doing what he wants.

Will ask many questions about the boyfriend’s plans for the future and whatnot.

AKA typical overprotective dad looking out for their daughter, but “with power and connections” edition.

But ultimately, unless Victor has a glaring objection to the man or his behavior, he’ll trust his daughter to make a good choice.

“Dad, you taught me two things. How to read people, and that time is money. I won’t bring over anyone who I don’t think is worth my precious time.”

Yes, he raised her well.

She’s careful with who she gives her heart to. Which ultimately happens to be a male version of MC.

Victor pretends to lament over where he went wrong when, in reality, he thinks his daughter chose well.

 Lucien

Lucien has two daughters, and the younger one will 100% observe what her father does to the older sister’s boyfriend and catalogue it for future reference.

Lucien won’t do the whole background check thing.

He’ll just treat any boyfriend brought over like a subject in his experiments. After all, he loves people watching.

And if he doesn’t hear about them again after that first dinner? “What happened to that nice boy you brought over for dinner last week, sweetie?”

“He got squeamish over being observed. He’s a handsome specimen but weak-willed.”

“That’s my girl.”

To both girls, dating is a highly controlled human experiment.

Really, only the strong-willed stick around.

“That was our goal from the beginning. It worked quite efficiently, if we say so ourselves.”

Lucien finds the men his daughters ultimately chose quite intriguing.

 Kiro

Out of all the boys, Kiro should be the most worried about his daughter.

She’s definitely a “follow your heart over your head” sort of person.

And sometimes an “act before you think” person.

So Kiro has to be on guard for any boys she talks to (which is a lot of pretty/rich boys since she ends up a singer/actor in her teens like her daddy.)

However, after getting her heart broken the first time…“You want me to hack his accounts and end him?”

Kiro, dang it, you are the parent. Set a good example!

“It’s okay, dad. I’ll do it.”

“I taught you so well.”

After hacking the accounts of five separate guys (she only ruined the career of one! He deserved it. The others, she just caused general mischief), ends up befriending a programming nerd at a geek convention who constantly puts a smile on her face by sending her memes and virtual roses (and then roses made of candy when he can sneak onto set)

Eventually becomes a little more than just a friend.

Kiro gets along with him swimmingly and happily approves.

 Gavin

Gavin is Mr. Overprotective.

He won’t force his daughter, but if she’s open, will teach her self-defense.

She’s a bit of a daddy’s girl, so she’ll do anything to spend time with her dad.

Her self-defense abilities are good, but what Gavin’s really proud of is har ability to handle a gun.

New rule: any boyfriend she brings over must watch her disassemble, reassemble, then shoot said gun.

Gavin figured this would scare any potential boyfriend a lot more than if he threatens them.

Only had one guy come over once before not hearing from him again.

“Oh, we broke up. I just don’t think any guy who nearly pisses his pants watching me handle a gun is worth it.”

So. Dang. PROUD.

Eventually, she finds a police officer (like her)

Gavin happened to personally train him, so he knows enough about him to approve.

[pokemonswshbutionlyplayedsword]

What is the one thing that is forbidden in each gym leader or child's house hold. Can totally see Leon not allowing hop not wearing a Raihan cosplay or something XD. (Sadly referencing how mom won't let me get a Raihan outfit . Just cause I'm going into highschool, even though I saved the money!)

I’m sorry. I really want Raihan’s hoodie, too.

This is a similar post here. Not exactly, but maybe a little context?

Milo doesn’t really “forbid” anything in his home, but he definitely tries to keep junk food out as much as possible. His brother has to follow that rule, too. Milo lives separately from his family, so his brother doesn’t live with him

Milo’s brother’s household forbids tech and video games, sort of. They allow it to an extent, but they don’t want a gaming system in their house, really. They think it’s a waste of time. Milo’s bro is a little sad, but he follows that rule. He plays games at his friends’ houses.

Nessa doesn’t really forbid anything. She lives alone and just does what she wants. As a personal rule, though, she tries her best to keep chips and cookies out. She has a bad habit of eating an entire pack in one sitting.

Kabu keeps things he thinks are a “scam” out of his house. Energy drinks? No. “Sports Drinks” like Gatorade? Nope. He thinks they’re a waste and he’s not going to spend his time and money on something that will do nothing.

Bea keeps snacks and junk food out of her house. It’ll waste all her training. She asks that Allister follow that rule, too.

She’s a little lenient with Allister, though. He’s allowed some snack foods, but not many. Still, he sneaks some in. Bea might know about some of it. She allows it.

Opal doesn’t ban anything. She’s cool with whatever. Who cares? She’s old, she does what she wants.

Bede is allowed pretty much what he wants. As long as he works hard and isn’t distracted from training, it’s fine.

Gordie doesn’t really ban anything. He has a sort of “no rules policy” at his place because there were so many rules when he lived with his mom. He does not want, however, any sort of ice type stuff. It makes him nervous. He’s lenient with it, but he doesn’t want too much of it around.

Melony, as well as her kids (other than Gordie since he moved out), follow an “alcohol ban” and things like that. They’re not able to drink at all at home. Melony’s daughter will be able to when she’s older, and when she’s tempted to sneak around and try it, Marnie and Piers let her have just a little at their place. Remind her it’s really nothing to get worked out about.

Piers doesn’t really ban anything. He wants Marnie to not be too sheltered so she’s ready for the real world. He doesn’t want her to go haywire, of course, but a little bit very few times isn’t going to kill her and will remove the “thrill” of doing it.

Marnie personally tries to keep their place quiet and private. She doesn’t have friends over all the time like she could. She also doesn’t like big groups of friends. She knows Piers secretly appreciates it.

Raihan lives alone and makes sure his place is clean when he streams or has visitors. So he really doesn’t need to ban anything. He restricts junk food, though.

Well, Rose wants Leon to ban junk food in his house (and anything that might distract him from training), but that only led Leon to hide it. He tries to keep it down personally, though.

Hop is allowed whatever he wants at Leon’s place. Nothing wrong with letting Hop have a nice time while visiting. At home, he doesn’t really have any bans. Alcohol and drugs and the like, really. He’s not that interested in trying those anyway. Marnie once told him it’s not that big a deal, so he took her word for it.

[ladylynse]

askmeanjudge replied to your post “Imagine Randy having to explain to Danny and Jake how he is going to...”

Ah man, no. I just like to hear your ideas. Not musing. XD

Well, perhaps not something to muse on on your part, but it can be on mine. *grins* 

I don’t think Randy would tell them any time soon. He’s not the sort of person to throw something like that out there and ruin a good mood. Sometimes, he’d genuinely forget about it, just because he’s having so much fun.

But then his final year would approach, and suddenly the end of all of this would feel like it’s looming. He’d know he has to say something, but he’s not sure how, or when.

There are mere months left by the time the others notice that Randy hasn’t shaken this mood and confront him about it. Something must be up, despite discretely checking with Howard and confirming that nothing major has changed for Randy at either school or home. And these guys are his friends, so Randy doesn’t want to lie; he’s spent too much of these past few years lying to people, just to keep his secret about being the Ninja, and this is one they’d find out soon enough, anyway.

Besides. He has to tell them. They need to know that one day soon he won’t be there for them.

Neither Danny nor Jake are strangers to the ideas of a mind wipe. They’ve both seen it done. They know the consequences. Danny used it to his advantage, keeping his secret and having more time to figure out a better way to tell his parents--and the other people he chooses to tell, as opposed to just being exposed. But Jake? This was how Jake lost Rose.

Jake knows exactly what it’s like to look an old friend in the face and have them not know you at all. Not remember any of the things you’ve done together. Because it’s somehow deemed better for them not to know all that, to remember living an edited version of the truth instead and carrying on as if it’s always been that way--since, as far as they know, it has been.

Rose had to forget everything for her own safety, too. And for theirs, in case retaining her memories came at a cost. (Rewriting time and reality is tricky business, and they’ve all dabbled far too much in that.) 

But Jake never gave up on her, and that paid off. She remembered, and the world didn’t end. She helped them prevent something really bad, and the Huntsclan didn’t return. Things got a lot better for both of them.

Really, can he be blamed for not believing that Randy--and everyone else--will be better if Randy just forgets everything?

He’s the one to make the rash promise that he won’t let that happen, that he won’t let Randy be mind-wiped and have everything lost. And then he heads home, because he needs to talk to Fu and Gramps and their contacts in the magical community, because there has to be something that can be done. Trixie and Spud avoiding being mind-wiped, and no one went back and demanded Jake do that to them even after it became painfully clear that they still knew everything, and no one’s questioned Rose’s knowledge, either. And if the dragons are okay with this, some old book should be.

Maybe Fu knows of a loophole, too. He’s good with those. Would just making Randy not be able to talk about being the Ninja outside of the presence of certain people be enough?

After Jake’s gone, Danny clears his throat rather awkwardly. “I’m sorry,” he says, because he doesn’t know what else to say. He knows better than to wish things were different when he doesn’t have Desiree in a thermos. 

And he knows that sometimes, you have to let people go.

He’s sure Dani will turn up some day, but he doesn’t know when. She hasn’t written or called or emailed or sent letters via Cujo or anything. But he also knows that telling too many people about her, about who and frankly what she really is, will just make things so much harder. She’s better off if people don’t know. If they just think she’s his cousin.

And with Randy, well.... Danny isn’t happy about this, but he doesn’t know how to change it. Even if he went into the Nomicon, what would arguing for Randy’s sake do? Would First Ninja even listen to him? The idea of compiling the knowledge of the previous Ninjas makes sense, and it’s helped Randy. He’s used that resource. If he has to move on, it kinda is selfish to refuse to give back and add to that resource. And it might be dangerous, if Randy knows something that could prevent a future Ninja from making a deadly mistake.

Danny’s not great at arguing logistics or anything like that. He relies on Jazz and Sam and, to a lesser extent, Tucker. And he knows Randy’s situation is different from his and Jake’s--not just in how he got his powers but in what he protects. Jake is supposed to protect all of the United States, and feasibly, any magical creature within them can call on him for aid. Danny’s taken on the role of protector of Amity Park, but most of the ghosts don’t bother him nearly as much as he used to, and his parents will still be there even if he and Valerie move on. He’s not tied there.

But the Ninja is meant to protect Norrisville. Technically, he’s meant to protect Norrisville alone. But isn’t that only because the Sorcerer used to be trapped there? With him gone, doesn’t that mean the rules have changed? Doesn’t it mean the rules could be changed?

It’s a hope that Danny clings to, but he doesn’t want to say anything yet. He doesn’t want to promise Randy that he can fix this if he can’t. He needs to look into this. If no one else, Clockwork will know. He might not tell, but he’d know, and Danny can get enough of an answer in the way that Clockwork dodges his question--or if he even decides to be around to allow Danny to ask it. (For all that he claims that he can’t interfere, he’s painfully transparent, and Danny suspects that’s deliberate. A way to get around the Observants who try to constrain Clockwork when he’s not meant to be constrained.) 

“We’ll figure something out,” Danny says instead, not even sure what Randy had mumbled before. That’s the safest answer he has to all this at the moment. They might not be able to figure out a solution. They might not be able to stop this. But they can try, and they can make plans to reintroduce themselves to Randy if they have to. Or try to make him remember--photographic evidence and video and all that--or just rebuild their friendship from scratch if they have to. It’s worth trying, even if it doesn’t work.

Besides, being the Ninja isn’t Randy’s entire identity. He’ll still have the heart of a hero even without the mask, If it has to be an end, that doesn’t mean it can’t also be a new beginning.

Scrapped Story Challenge

I got tagged by @skyburned​, thank you! <3

The Rules:

Post a few screenshots from a scrapped scene / edit / story!

Share why you scrapped this specific thing

Tag five friends, and watch the fun play out!

As for the Vampire Academy comic, I don’t actually have many scrapped scenes/edits, I actually only found one XD I tend to plan everything as to avoid wasting time on things I’ll not use, so I guess this was an exception.

This is the full panel that got cut to only focus on Rose’s face, back in chapter I - page 7 (top right). After the wasted time editing the whole thing to just use a bit of it made me rethink how I was doing things, so I plan better now. As for scrapped stories.... oh boy, sit down and have some popcorn XD Since it’s not VA related, I’ll put it under a cut. It’s trying to keep the comic going that is hindering alternate projects, but it’s nothing too new if you fallow my other Tumblr... unless you read to the end.

I don’t want to say these are scrapped stories.... more like, Temporarily In Limbo Projects:

The NaNo-born HP thing.

Before I started the VA comic, I nearly started a comic about an original story that was born in a NaNoWriMo over 10 years ago. It was a sort of alternate future of OCs I had in a Roleplay in back in the day, set in the Harry Potter universe. I never finished the story - 250 pages in English and 3 chapters away from finishing it to this day =’). Once a year I go back to read it just to feel the cringe.

What stopped me was all the extras I’d have to edit in, mainly cloaks and robes - because everyone had cloaks/robes, dragons (even if only for a chapter... 6 years ago no one had converted the dragons to sims 2 yet) and the hair of the protagonist. So I started VA instead, because it felt easier.

The AU Slice of Life thing.

From time to time, on my reblogs tumblr, I post images from the most “recent” OCs from the last roleplay I was in - I like to roleplay, ok? Once on FB a friend had posted a link to one of those online generators, there was one about generating demons and I tried it out. Funny enough, the very first result I got remembered about me about my character Thea. So I jumped to Sims and tried to make her as a demon, based on what the generator gave me and this was the result:

This was the first pass at the idea, but I wanted a tail and different feet...

And so came the no.2 pass, that I’m still sort of working on in the background. I liked this idea, placing my characters and the characters or my friend in a different setting. I wanted to write that story, but I needed the input of my friend and she doesn’t seem very interested, so I dunno if I’d be able to write a full story, I need her to bounce ideas with. Then I thought to just make slice of life images, the cool parts I have in my head, without having to layout a whole story. Again, problem would be having to edit things in, mainly tails (all tails would have to be hand painted in), feet aaand in the case of one of my friend’s girls, wings would have to be edited in. Oh and clothes. I don’t think finding decent harem style clothes is easy even today.

The I-Was-14-and-Wrote-Detective-Stories thing.

I got my first PC in 1996/7, no internet those days. And after I finished watching the last episode of a Brazilian soap opera about a female detective (A Justiceira), I decided create my own female detective and write stories. I wrote the 1st story in one hour and it only had 7 pages (in which I believed that American female detectives sporting midriff tops and high heel shoes to active work was completely normal). I still have those printed 7 pages XD And the cover I made for the book lol Only one friend of mine has ever lay eyes on those stories. It started all good and well, robberies and murders and stuff, but fast I branched out to human cloning, space travel, time travel, genetically altered wolves, alien abductions, religious/alien cults in Mexico, plane crashes, ghosts and an incident during the Paris-Dakar event... I was a huge X-Files fan at that time and got hugely influenced u_u I had 22 books planed, I wrote from 1997 to like 2003-ish if memory serves. Only finished 11 while the others stand in various degrees of scattered notes. As mentioned before, from time to time I go back to read it all and feel the ultimate cringe and wonder what I was on back in the day. It’s completely insane at times, but maybe with a bit (A LOT) of polish I could make something out of it. If nothing else, maybe remake the book covers in the Sims because back in the day it was only MS Paint and some cartoons on Powerpoint that I stripped and drew over on paint with a mouse to draw the covers and other scenes. It’s hilarious looking back at how dedicated I was, hot damn! I made wallpapers, Win95 desktop themes, Winamp skins, you name it XD That female Detective was the very first of my OCs and I never made her in the Sims correctly, maybe I should look into that because all I have to show for her is this XD Covers ranging from 1998 to 2003 (I only learned about Photoshop in 2005).

So these are my dirty little secrets that I might or might not one day act upon. Here, have a cookie if you made it this far. As for tags, people who have stories going probably have stuff to show so, @grecadeasimsstudios​, @esotheria-sims​, @veninorchid​, @quiddity-jones​, @cindysimblr, @grisdidthis​​ :P Again, if it is not your cup of tea, it’s ok :)

📌 🎥 🎶💢🍀💕 Almost the same questions as in your ask for me :D for the three Fallen London games, and Mask of the Rose if you want to! (To answer the question from your ask in short, I am very excited about it - what are you thinking of it so far?)

Initial Introduction: Nicktosaurus (on tumblr) started ranting about Fallen London way back when we first met. I think I disregarded the first few times? And then I saw Sunless Seas and Skies had a sale going on Steam, so I bought them, and started playing Seas. xD Understood fucking NOTHING because I didn’t play FL first, but I loved the atmosphere so much I just kept learning. In way too deep at this point.

Favorite Scenes: I absolutely adore the imagery when completing the cavern in Godfall, and I loved the imagery from Varchas’ storylines. I really don’t play a lot in the South of the Neath and I should. Completing all of Varchas’ storylines is on my list of things to do the next go-around. I love a lot of the imagery from the Zubmariner ports too, even though they’re also more terrifying than the surface ports? Finishing that stupid cigar plot turned my stomach lol.

Favorite songs: I have a pavlovial response to Wolfstack Lights, haha. My favorite in general is when going to Port Carnelian, then maybe Sunless Skies’ intro music. That’s another pavlovial response because we play it as background music for DnD and now anything that sounds remotely like it sends me into Westlie-mode.

Raar, Anger: I CAN ONLY HAVE LIKE TWO GUNS? Drives me up the fucking wall every time I start over before I get the Cladery Heart, omg. I think everyone would just tell me to play Skies, but I love the challenge of Seas, even though GOD I just want more guns are you fucking with me. I also wish infiltrating spies and getting knowledge to sway those storylines was easier early game. I think I need to wait until I have a few more legacies under my belt. I’ve spent a lot of time on the game and I’ve only finished the Father legacy, lol.

Comfort Char: This varies. x’D For Skies/FL/Seas, the Captivating Princess. For Seas, the Pirate Poet and Deviless from Mt. Palmerston, lmao. For Skyfarer, obviously Westlie.

I really just wish I knew more about the Deviless from Palmerston, lmao. I keep trying to sneak in, but my Veils aren’t high enough. And her storyline ends so abruptly! I wish Seas were a bit more like Fallen London where you could interact with the characters who just disappear.

Oh! And there’s that one storyline where the woman from the tomb colonies wants you to help her find her disappeared lover and eventually she sinks under the sea and never returns. I REALLY wish I knew what happened to her. Which... maybe that’s a zubmariner thing! I don’t think I’ve played long enough with the Zub to grab that. 

I’m an absolute sucker for the characters who just disappear lmfao. I guess that’s the moral of that story. I want to know how they’re doing. There was that one kid in Varchas who starts the whole revolution too. He was dope. 

Favorite Character: Impossible to pick. xD Maybe the Pirate Poet. I’d REALLY like to see more of her somehow. I want to know more about her background, about the clay men - you fucking have a brief trist with her! and engrave poetry - and then you never really see her again, except to save her. At one point, end game, maybe I’ll let her drown and see what happens then - but ahhh, it would be really cool just to be friends, or have some sort of Fallen-London-esque social interaction beyond what we see in game.

I really wish I’d played more of Zubmariner before this because a lot of the characters underneath seem amazing but I haven’t finished their storylines and I don’t know them well enough. ;~; 

.

.

Misc note because I just remembered this and it fucked me over: The fucking tomb colonist curator who goes and dies after you give him the colors and he turns into that stupid moth. I took the moth because I wanted to see the stats and holy shit I should have taken the money. Now I might not get Aestival because I baaarely have enough change saved up to buy the shitload of supplies it requires, AND I need to get the judgement’s egg to save the Presbyterate Adventuress so she can rule the colony because I did the Doctor’s storyline this time, for some stupid reason and now he won’t talk to me unless I fix him up in London. 

I really fucked up this round, lmfao. And this is why I haven’t played Seas in 6 months, because I’m still trying to figure out the best way to get out of this one.

.

Second Misc Note: I’m fucking convinced that one of the writers on the team is a geologist or mineral nerd. I know because they keep using geology-specific terms like schorl when anyone else would just say onyx and move on with their life. They also have a love affair with basalt and serpentine. I cannot prove this other than straight up asking them, but it HAS TO BE a thing. Nobody in their right mind who doesn’t have mineral knowledge is going to compare the color black to a tourmaline and call it schorl, not black tourmaline- who also knows the difference in the first place. I just- mmm. Their word choices fascinate me.

Fandom: Steven Universe Rating: General Audiences Words: 1100~ Summary: Garnet helps remind Rose of what she’s fighting for. (set during the Gem War)

Another friend prompt fic! This time, the prompt was “egg.” These so-called flash fics just keep getting longer and longer... XD

If you read this and enjoy, I’d greatly appreciate your support through reblogs here, or kudos/comments on AO3 as well. Thank you! <3

Despite her powers of farsight, despite the seemingly insurmountable strength of the Crystal Gems’ common enemy, it is a sound fact of the universe that certain elements of the future will always be vulnerable to change.

Certain elements. This is the nuance most other Gems can’t seem to grasp without experiencing some form of prophecy for themselves, that there exists a delicate boundary between elements in flux and foregone consequences. Laying just beyond every unique junction of free will and possibility is a tipping point where that precise junction can never be revisited, can shift no longer. After all, when a heavy stone begins to fall from a cliff side there is no force of nature that can hope to reverse it. It will fall, and the world at large will be forever transformed, no matter how small the ramifications.

For this reason, Garnet finds navigating the rivers of possibility less of a disorientating force while surrounded by nature. From her observations over the past few years, much of the life of this planet seems to be driven by base instinct. Plants seek water, sunlight, the sentient organisms seek food and shelter. Choices are made, and consequences stick. While she’s stumbled upon the occasional exception to this rule, the wildlife of planet Earth largely adheres to predictable outcomes. She could trace every last potential path within the lifespan of a butterfly and be reasonably certain its ultimate future would follow one of those she foresaw.

Gems, on the other hand... Gems are complicated. Sapphire didn’t think they were, once. She used to believe futures were set in stone, that only the will of fate pushed individuals together and tore empires apart. When she still read the future for the Diamonds, all she could see was a single stream. But when Garnet considers Gems now, she’s met with an infinity of tributaries, offshoots, turns, and waterfalls, each careening down paths unique from all others. She can sense realities beyond realities. All are possible. And all are vulnerable to changes even she cannot foresee. Rubies can break protocol to push their charges out of danger. Pearls can win victory over quartz soldiers on the battlefield. Rose Quartzes can bravely rise to lead an entire rebellion.

So many segments of the future are in constant flux, and on many occasions that can prove overwhelming.

But sometimes, the path is simple.

Sometimes, that simplicity can remind one of what they’re fighting for.

The bird egg she’s currently watching with intrigue, for instance. The mother is away— most likely retrieving food. The thin shell is speckled brown, a completely unique pattern compared with the other two sharing the nest. She smiles as she gently removes the egg out of the nest, cradles it in her hands nestled between her gems. A few steps away, Rose sits down on a fallen tree, her untamable curls shifting around her face as she allows her head to sink into her hands.

“I know you said leaving base might help me think, but I can’t fathom how a nature walk is supposed to improve morale at a time like this,” she says, muffled through her fingers. As she looks up, shards of anger shoot through her dark eyes, the fringe of her hair casting a shadow over her features as she continues to expound her frustrations. “Over five hundred of us, mercilessly shattered on the battlefield, and it’s all my fault. I gave the orders, I sent them to ground the landers in facet 4! They’re gone because of me.”

She sighs, heavy and despondent, her eyelids fluttering shut.

“There’s days I genuinely wonder why I’m even fighting anymore.”

Garnet’s gaze flickers downwards, towards the life she holds between the sum of her very being. (Its warmth is comforting, in a grounding sort of manner.) There’s definitely been cycles— dark, daunting excursions into terrifying possibility— where she emerged with the same doubt. She knows it can’t be easy, leading so many frightened, angry Gems in revolution against such a daunting power while carrying the expectation of constant poise, strength, and grace. What she also knows is that her friend shouldn’t let that expectation weigh her down so heavily that she feels unable to express vulnerability around the others, to take care of her own needs. And in this moment, when she peers into Rose’s future, there are so many paths where she collapses under this strain. Where she eventually buckles to the Diamonds’ will, where the rebellion is crippled at its knees. None of these paths are certain yet— the present is still in flux, decisions still lie at their junctions— but in number, they are many.

(There’s still time, though. There’s still a chance for change.)

Garnet joins her on the mossy trunk, still cradling the spotted bird egg. “Rose, I’m going to tell you something I’ve never told anyone else before.”

While still visibly sullen, the quartz lifts her chin to listen with intent.  

“Sometimes,” she begins, peering amongst the tree canopy to admire all the wildlife flying and scampering throughout the boughs, “when I’m using my future vision in private, I become so overwrought with inner instability over what I see that I almost fall apart. When that happens, I find myself turning towards Earth. I immerse myself in nature, in all the life of this world I’ve sworn to protect.” A serene smile crossing her lips, she lets the ambiance of her surroundings wash over her, briefly quieting that instinctual drive to continuously peer into the future. “It’s calming. I hoped it might be calming to you, too.”

Rose bites at her bottom lip, her fists grinding into the thick layers of her dress as she considers. “I suppose... I can give it a try?”

The egg in her hand vibrates, a small, yet irrevocably important thread of the future just beginning to slot into place. Suddenly catching wind of an opportunity to nudge her friend towards a happier dawn on her journey through leadership, Garnet offers the still-intact shell to her.

“Here. You’ll like this.”

Confusion flooding her face, Rose extends her hands to accept the gift. The moment her fingers wrap around the egg, however, her face glows in wonder. The chick inside begins to peck at the thin shell, cracks spiderwebbing from the center as it emerges.

By the time the bird has finally shed its old home, the look of pure awe on that Gem’s face is all Garnet needs to be certain that— no matter what else transpires— the future they create together won’t be one where they allow this breathtaking planet to die.

Notes:

A note on the portrayal of Garnet's future vision... I imagine she is still young, and that this takes place around the first half of the war, long belong Rose fake shatters herself. With this in mind, she hasn't lived amongst the creatures of Earth long enough to fully grow to appreciate just how complex life is for them as well. I think there's a point to be made in that conscious, self-aware creatures have a far greater capacity for both more potential choices and unexpected choices, (in comparison to, say... plants), but I also think she underestimates the animals of this world. She probably still underestimates humans, too.

As the years move on, I believe her understanding of her own future vision will evolve to account for this added complexity- just as her realization of Steven's emotional growth opened her vision up to a world of new possibilities.

Hi and Hello! Congratulation on getting over 90 followers dear! You are doing great and you deserve all the attention. That aside, I decided to go through the submission route cuz of the character limits as I have a few special ideas that I'd like to propose to you:

1. Love letters/Creepy notes - You could always go the good old classic way of doing things and go with the love letters or more so obsessively creepy notes more so in this case XD

2. A sort of reverse AU - I was thinking as a special is supposed to be a thing you are not usually doing we could maybe go with "Yandere!Reader" and ship them with either canon or yandere version of the characters. It'll allow you to play with diffrent dynamics and would offer something unusual.

3. Music Shuffle - We compile a list of music (songs may have yandere/dark vibes or not) and send a character and a number and you'd write headcanons/drabble/stroy based on any idea/vibes you get of the song you'd got. (You can either keep the playlist hidden so we don't know what song is what number or we can offer a number of shuffles and you'd shuffle the playlist that many times around.) [Also I have a playlist of yandere-vibes songs if you'd like some idea for that.

4.A one word prompt drabbles. We'd send a character's name and one word for example "rose" or "music" and you'd have to write a short story/headcanons around any idea such word inspires.

5. An specific AU the ones that come to forefront of my mind:

a) Soulmate AU - A classic. Headcanons/Drabbles placed in a Soulmate AU I have seen some really nice lists of such AUs if you'd like to look at them. Either we could sent a specific Soulmate type AU or you could choose one.

b) Fantasy AU - We could set the character in a position they are not usually in making some of the characters folklore/magical creatures and the like or switch around what they are. Like Angel!Sebastian or Nymph!Sakura kind of thing.

c) Hanahaki disease AU or the unrequired love disease AU - Hanahaki is a fictional disease that makes flowers grow around people's heart and lungs making them spit out flowers/petals untill the roots of the plant crushes the heart/lungs or suffocates the victim. It's born out of unrequired love and can be cured only by getting one's feelings returned or having it surgically removed loosing all feelings (for the person). It could be a interesting thing to play around within a yandere universe.

d) We could always make it a AU kind of event and send characters and a AU we'd like them in for the event as well.

Alright that's all I have atm but I may or may not send additional ideas at a later date as well.

Love you :)

animeyanderelover: Okay, let’s go through each of this individually.

The first idea sounds definitely very appealing to me and this is definitely something I would like to try.

The second one on the other hand is a bit risky for me since I like to keep it clean. Yandere!Reader and letting the s/o die are points where I’m very unsure if I want to write this.

The third idea seems like fun as well, but the problem here is that I only listen to K-pop, Anime music and Disney songs and I’m not very experienced with anything different so I would need some other songs as well. I think songs with Yandere or dark vibes would fit the best in here and I think if I’ll do this then I’ll do two separate playlists. One for K-pop and one for all the others.

The fourth might be a bit hard since it’s only one word, but as long as the word isn’t something too ridiculous I’m confident that I can do it.

The fifth point is something I already want to do. I even wrote in the rules for the Yandere Prompt List that if someone wishes for a Soulmate AU they just have to mention it in the request. The only point where I’m unsure about is c). I need to think about this point a bit more until I’m sure that I can imagine it well enough.

Thank you for this🥰🥰. It must have taken some time to think about this and write it❤️❤️❤️.
