#what a curious pair!

[miltheperson]

Hiiiiiiiiiii- love the lil quick writes, and actually that howdy part in my request-

Imagine reader, same scenario, but reader is like a spider or a butterfly or a bee and is the size of 10 apples and can like fly too-

Again you did amazing on my request:D

You gave me so much ideas for howdy - all the bugs we could use-

I’m glad I did those requests some justice! Again, another excellent idea! So curious!

Welcome Home mini bit!

Howdy’s all buzzed about the new neighbor!

The talk about the new neighbor had circled all around the neighborhood, it had definitely went round enough that it reached the bodega owning caterpillar’s ears!

He loved new faces and he especially loved welcoming them into the neighborhood.

He waited quite excitedly for the new neighbor to come around and visit his shop, a friendly and happy smile over his face.

When the bells over his door finally jingled, Howdy sprung up with a smile.

“Howdy! Welcome!” He greeted as usual, smiling.

Only to pause.

Wait a second…

Where was the customer?

“What in the world��?” He murmured, scratching the top of his head. “Now, I know I heard those bells ring…” He frowned a little, moving out of the counter and towards the door.

“Ow!”

He felt a something bump against his leg. He flinched, staring down.

“Oh, hello!” He blurted out in surprise, stepping back.

There was the new neighbor! You! With twirly antennas and wings behind your back, as well as what looked to be something protruding from behind you. Why… You must be a bee! Now that explains the black and yellow coloring on your clothing.

“I am so sorry! Didn’t see ya there!” Howdy was startled.

Goodness you were quite short!

Why, even shorter than Wally!

“It’s okay!” You smiled up at him, then you started realized just how tall he was.

How tall was this guy??

Goodness he was quite tall!

“You must be the new neighbor, right?” He asked you with a smile, needing to look down on you.

Heavens, compared to you he was just massive!

“Yep! That’s me! Pleasure to meet you!” You held a hand out towards him, the other leaning down just to reach you properly.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, too! My name is Howdy, Howdy Pillar! What’s yours, neighbor?” He shook hands with you, a bright grin on his face.

“(Name) ! Call me (Name)! Wonderful to meet you, Howdy!” You giggled, letting go of his hand.

“So, ah… Welcome to Howdy’s Place! Seeing as you’re new around these parts, it’s a special discount for you. 100% off!” Howdy smiled.

It was a bit troublesome for both parties to look each other in the eye, so you decided you had enough of the neck pain.

Your wings started to flutter, your feet slowly lifting off the ground.

Howdy watched you in amazement as you started to fly up to his height, finally being able to properly meet his eyes.

“Well, hello, you!” Howdy couldn’t help but laugh, he thought you looked quite cute!

“Hi! How’s the weather up here?” You asked him with a laugh of your own.

Now that really cracked him up! Howdy burst out laughing again, shaking his head.

“You’re funny! I like that!“ He calmed down with a chuckle, sighing a bit. “Go ahead and pick out anything you’d like, neighbor! It’s on the house!” He smiled at you.

“Alrighty, Howdy! Thanks a lot!” You smiled back at him, wings fluttering behind you.

As you looked through the shop, Howdy couldn’t help but watch as you did. He was quite amazed by your wings, you really did move like a bee with how you flew around. He stayed by the counter, arms crossed and the other two placed on the counter surface.

He wondered if he would be able to fly around with you if he ever turned into a butterfly. Would you two race? Would you just fly together?

So wonderful to think about!

Finally you had chosen your item, it was a drink that you liked the most. You flew towards the counter, placing the item down.

“And that’s one (favorite drink)… Would ya like me to bag it for you?” He asked with a friendly smile.

“Nope, no thanks!” You shook your head, politely declining.

“Alrighty, neighbor! Here ya go.” He handed you your drink, chuckling as you stared at it with wonder.

“Thanks a lot, Howdy! I best get going then, wouldn’t wanna buzz around here for too long!” You giggled, holding the cool drink in your hands.

“Don’t worry! You were never a buzz-er!” Howdy laughed, you couldn’t help but join along with him. “But, oh, alright. If you have to go… Just bee safe now!” He chuckled.

“Oh, you just wont stop, huh? Alright, I’ll see you around, Howdy!” You opened the bodega door, then landed on the floor. You didn’t feel like exhausting yourself by flying any longer.

“I’ll see you soon, (Name)! It was lovely meeting you!” He waved at you as you left, leaning over the counter with a hand on his cheek.

He sighed with another chuckle, smiling to himself.

“What a buzz…” He shook his head.

Needless to say, Howdy looked forward to seeing you again!

good morning sifloop nation

[methoughtsphantom]

Jason “my family doesn’t know im alive” Todd and Danny “my family doesn’t know I’m dead” Fenton going alongside each of their plans my beloved. like Danny will absolutely go head-to-head with all of Gotham to support his new best friend on all his crime lord endeavors while he drags Jason to also attend collage with him. They are roommates and there never seems to a mention of family from either side. It’s an unspoken understanding they have. They met because Crime alley as a ghost lair thrummed with so much loneliness, it was at first the perfect place for Danny to hide his ecto signature in. But then he saw the dumbass whose lair it was lean his motorcycle just a tad too much when making a sharp turn to an alley, he sweeped the floor through a lifted chain link that passed his body but not his helmet. Yep that’s right the red thing got stuck. Danny who at the moment happened to be watching through his window snorted. Much to his horror because if not a ghost that dude could’ve gotten his head flung off.

Still, the scene was ridiculous.

On a whim he irrationally sees the police closing in on the guy and panicked at the thought of the guy using intangibility to free himself so Danny phased them both through his apartment wall and left the guy sprawled in his couch. Jason didn’t freak out but that’s normal when one’s got a concussion, one the guy immediately denied having as Danny laid out the medical supplies. The idiot proceeded to almost flatten four steps to the door with his stubbornness. He also said “I’m asexual” in the most deadpan voice as Danny dropped him back in the couch.

Danny sighed. Clearly though, he’d done so too early in the night because the guy kept trying to go, kept trying to knock Danny out, kept trying to slash him with knifes Danny didn’t know he had stashed. He’d only disarmed the guy from his guns. The visible ones apparently, cause at one point the guy did take out a gun and shoot until the ammo ran out and then teetered the thing like it was an art prop and hit his moon lamp.

Danny "yeah you aren’t officially my friend until you’ve tried to kill me" fenton my guys.

Anyways both keep having the same argument over if Danny technically kidnapped Jason or not. Danny holds the fact that the police at least didn’t see the guy make the ridicule. Jason argued that happened cause he was sporting a concussion. Danny argued he got that after.

Jason at first thinks the guy's a meta, but no. Danny introduces himself, sheepily now that he recognizes this is who the lair he invaded is from. He bandages him and tries to cook for him. If Danny didn’t have ice powers he most certainly would’ve burned the apartment. Jason then proceeds to kick him out of his own kitchen and make them both enchiladas. It’s the most normal both had in a while with another person and the air seems oddly settled. From then on, Jason constantly invited himself over, under the pretense that this was his territory and therefore he could drop in unannounced. Danny who has actual powers says he only allows this because Jason cooks very well.

Danny stays away from the crime fighting business unless his buddy is in deep shit he can’t get himself out. Also it’s Danny’s turn to cover for his vigilante friend which Sam and Tucker give him so much shit for. (but also advice)

And they were roommates. (omg) Danny effectively derails Jason’s big comeback plans by casually dropping ghost lore every two days. Like,

Jason, talking about how he doesn’t want Bats snooping on his territory:

Danny: Just don’t let them in

Jason: ??

Danny: yeah!! Hasn’t Batman died and got revived??? You can totally kick out death touched people you don’t want entering on your lair.

Jason: …I can?

Danny: Yep dude, your lair’s supposed to feel safe.

Jason: wait does that mean I can kick you out?

Danny: First this is my apartment. Second, im dead, not dead touched. Third, it’s too late to get rid of me. bitch.

Anyways Jason is super excited. You mean to tell him he can actually deny people over to his territory haunt?? (Yes it’s only to people who have died and came back but still!! The sample size is exactly the type of people he doesn’t want to see—!)

Joker my beloathed can’t step foot in Crime Alley.

(Jason’d feel a lot safer if the clown was dead but the possibility of his murderer turning into a ghost and their little loophole not applying on the clown is too scary to contemplate.)

Anyways, Jason loves experimenting with the power. It can go from simply making people shudder and not want to enter crime Alley to straight up not letting them enter like there’s an invisible wall blocking the way.

Jason because he’s hurt that Bruce never even patrols Crime Alley and also because he’s petty put B under the category of “invisible wall” blacklist. His reasoning is that the man doesn’t even attempt to enter Crime Alley. To him it’s surely just a place shadowed in tragedy. (anyways that’s it’s the place he met Jason)

Ironically, Jason totally forgets that Batman does venture into Crime Alley one day in the whole year. The day he met Jason.

Okay. He didn’t forget at first. The first year Jason remembers cause it was only a few months till then but then the next— Jason forgets that today’s the anniversary of the day’s Bruce’s parents died. He forgets to allow B in when he feels a slight tug and dismiss the feeling that prompts Bruce to investigate because he literally can’t enter Crime Alley. He starts the trialsTM, he scouts on the very edge and sees people the whole day enter and get out and cross with no problem but Bruce can’t.

It’s literally just Bruce.

Time to call Constantine, i guess.

scribbled down a quick thought about modern au hiccup in all his small-fishing-town-off-the-coast-of-iceland glory. it must be hard to connect to your heritage if all you have to go off of is your mom’s belongings which don’t really fit you…

What’s everyone’s favourite rarepairs and underrated/side character ships??

Can be any fandom (I’m in marauders and pjo mainly)

[dutchs-paisley-vest]

Been thinking about Hosea a lot as I write this analysis on Dutch and Micah.

Maybe I’ll eventually whip something up about him, but for now I’m left with thoughts about knowing that not only is Hosea just as guilty as Dutch when it comes to how their boys were brought up (and continued to be treated through adulthood and ultimately up to their deaths), but also the way the two irreparably damaged John and Arthur’s entire lives beyond even their own comprehension. FURTHERMORE, they set forth a viscous cycle of familial violence and neglect that maintained momentum into the next generation. (See: John and Jack.)

The way Hosea’s action, but more importantly his inaction had in part led to… well, [gestures vaguely to RDR1 + RDR2].

Hosea might have been gentler than Dutch on the surface, but he saw it all, and at times both implicitly and explicitly encouraged it through the meticulous timing of his decisions to remain a “silent watcher.”

Yes, refusal to mitigate the violence makes him complicit, but the matter of the fact is… Hosea can’t even feign partial innocence as a third-party bystander because of how calculated he is in nature.

Additionally, there is no “third party.” Dutch and Hosea are a single unit. They occupy the same space even as two separate individuals in John and Arthur’s lives.

The deliberate nature of Hosea’s inaction puts him in the same position as the “perpetrator” because he isn’t just a watcher, he corroborates directly with Dutch and agrees with what he is doing on principle. He reenforces it in perhaps more subtle ways, but that doesn’t make him any less responsible for the outcome.

The only difference between the two is that while they’re dealing different cards, they are playing the exact same game.

Honest question cuz some posts I saw are making me wonder:

If I write a pairing, in this case ZoSan/SanZo, and I never write smut, how would I tag it? I've been tagging it as ZoSan mostly because that's how I've known the ship tagged as. Feel free to respond, I'm curious what the opinions on this are

[oifaaa]

hey! sorry if this is weird but i'm a fanbinder (basically i print out fanfics and bind them in book form) & i like to include some fanart of characters that appear in the fic. i was wondering if you'd be ok with me including some of your art? obviously just for personal use and with full credit given.

Of course if it's just for personal use I'm fine with people using my art it's just when it's reuploaded without credit or my knowledge that I get antsy

[claitea]

i was working on something else and out of nowhere i thought about zero, got Really annoyed about his outfit which i've always disliked, and couldnt work on the first thing without doing this alteration first. pay no attention to the top right side nothing is there its just infi

[shima-draws]

Is there a One Piece rarepair ships week. Is that a thing. It should be a thing I think

[cnl0400]

Lesson 49-A

... Yeah, It sounds like someone might snap in the next lessons....

(Or at least I hope so. Please Solmare do something, ANYTHING with Raphael I'm begging you)

[skeletalheartattack]

hi I like gelato a lot

[nostalgia-tblr]

it's a great boost for the ego when you post a fic and someone reads it who doesn't usually read that pairing, or if you know they specifically hate the trope the fic is based on yet here they are on the "left kudos on this work" list anyway. oh wow this person trusts me! that's so unfortunate!

[dawdlecentric]

Yeag...

[slightlytoastedbagel]

trying to make sense of why haruan bloomfes seems so different to kanade and rui... makes me wonder if they are going to do something with them being childhood friends in the card stories.

[ratatatastic]

He looks so different with glasses 😂 did not recognize him at first

terribly funny how much more generic he can get with a thick frame of raybans like ive always believed the whole glasses as a disguise would never work irl but i got punked so hard that when i first saw him in glasses i was like "oh another man" glossed over him then felt the same sensation as when i forget to buy milk at the store, swiped back, scrutinised this for far longer than im comfortable admitting publicly and went "oh my god THATS MY MAN GIRL WHAT ARE YOU DOING"
