HEY? HYE THAT SWAGOWENDOONS THING. IM LISTENING SO MUCH PELASE I LOVE THAT IDEA CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE AU??? Sorry I’m a bit feral ignore me uhm

✨ Wanna be friends ✨

SWAGOWENDOONS IS SUCH A BETTER NAME JGKFHDLA I dont know how i didnt think of that, long but to the point and not broken up like how orange swagdoons is hjgrflda in the au, redd and ash are gods, owen is mortal (but technically not because redd intervenes) :3 redd is the god of souls, and ash is the god of universal disruptions (essentially glitching). there's a LOT in the au since it spans so many different mc series (and is formatted in such a way that every smp, every mc player, regular players, fan characters, ccs, people that i know of or dont know of, can all be canon to it- its very very open world and formatted in a way that i can easily implement changes or new interests of mine :3 it sort of stemmed from me trying to keep solid track of headcanons i had, putting them all in one timeline, and then it became more of an au... 'specially with these guys) but, some snipits about these three guys in particular: Redd has been a god as long as he's lived, but Ash was originally mortal! Ash earned his ascension to godhood (which, is not something he's supposed to be able to do btw, hence why he's a glitching mess. he fucked up the universe's code by becoming a god and so it didnt know what to do and just flipped on itself), he was offered to be mentored by one of the older gods (one of the big most powerful ones, actually! guy from "the council", group of four- made the universe), but he decided he didnt want that and so he just does his own thing. (potential cw? owen gets very fucked up but idk what specifcially to say here, injury and extreme injury warning, maybe?) Owen is honestly more machine than he is human, at this point; he drowned in lava and so little of him survived that, that almost no part of him is actually him anymore, almost every bit of him that is human isn't his original flesh, and the mechanical parts certainly arent his original flesh. He has a mechanical heart, most of his bones are mechanical, he has mechanical lungs, a mechanical arm (in the art i made you can just barely see he has it wrapped around Ash, and if i were to show his ref sheet you could very clearly see it! idk if ive showed that on tumblr before or not, tell me if you want me to post that/add that to here), two mechanical legs, and he also has New limbs- he has these mechanical spider-like limbs (that you can see in my art) and a mechanical scorpion tail. In the au, which i call 7au, griefers (the weird kinda scorpion-like monsters from in the maze in outsiders smp, and.. also the book+movie series its based off of) are entirely mechanical beasts, they were used for military operations, the older models being manually-operated tanks essentially, and the newer models being entirely ai driven ^^ (any "out-of-date" model gets shoved into the maze, btw! thats how they get there), they're "the peak of military innovation", seen as essentially super soldiers. so. when owen kinda got burnt to a crisp, people in power saw that as a chance to... make something "better" out of him, persay. they gave him "upgrades". hence, the spider arms and the scorpion tail! he was meant to be a super soldier of sorts, but the only thing it really ended up doing was stripping him of any of his lasting bits of human identity. Also half of his brain is mechanical, and he has a like half-autopilot mode he can switch on!

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

when merlin asks arthur for things, the king is usually inclined to give him what he wants but it is not always guaranteed such as when his emotions cloud his judgement. but merlin’s surefire way of getting arthur to give in? he steps into his space, lays a gentle hand on his arm, and says “arthur, please” and he folds like a house of cards.

(ID in alt) hi sorry for back to back marvel fanart I swear I still have dc stuff lmao. However I did recently read X-Men: first class and got a bit carried away doodling this after Lmao

I understand why things are like this but it's a little sad that fandom, or at least the Star Wars fandom among many others, is so anglocentric that setting AUs anywhere outside the US, Canada, Britain, Australia, NZ and so on feels weird. "Alternate Universe - Modern Setting" is almost synonymous with "oh yeah this takes place in New York/LA/London, maybe Sydney if you're really freaky"

Clicking on a modern setting fic could be like opening a mystery box. Oh yeah this is set in Finland. Or Brazil. Or Indonesia. Or the Canary Islands. Or wherever else the author might be from. And some, maybe even all of the characters should get to be locals and it shouldn't be weird. If I have to accept that everyone is suddenly a born-and-raised American with no further explanation we can do the same thing for settings in Chile or Russia or Bangladesh or Egypt. I think it would be cool

it’s actually so wild to me that this fairly quirky YA type show gave both of its main characters deaths that can, in one way or another, solidly be considered hate crimes. they were both flat out murdered as a result of being A) gay and effeminate or B) brown (south asian, specifically) and you could argue whether or not those kids thought of it that way in the moment or whatever but the bottom line is that they would not have been in the situations that killed them if they weren’t of their respective minorities. like legitimately that is a ballsy choice for this kind of netflix show, let alone for the two Main Characters, and i respect it big time

Offshoot of my "team Ro time travels to the founders era" post because @prinzgnomeovonchaos infected me with brain rot in the notes

So buckle in baby it's time for

Sakumo and babyKashi time traveling to the warring states ✨️

So first thing to get out of the way; Modern Hatake's and warring states era Hatake's do not hold up to the same standards.

The Hatake's during the states were a very small clan with a very big reputation. Hailing from Iron, they were an almost famous wild clan even all the way in fire country. Distantly related to the Inuzuka's but leaning more towards wolves than dogs.

They had a proper kekkei genkai and everything, unnaturally fast and strong, often born with some form of enhanced senses— be it smell, sight, taste, or even touch. Their white chakra fed into it, and they'd feed their chakra with diets of raw meat and the occasional light cannibalism during some special clan celebrations and rituals.

Unfortunatley Sakumo knows very little about the above because he was very young when his clan was pretty much all wiped out. He was raised by the only other survivor, his grandmother, who was pretty young herself when the clan got wiped, and unfortunatley was never all too concious of many of the rituals and traditions of her clan until it was too late.

Sakumo grew up to village standards and was mostly declawed because of it, and Kakashi is only doubly so. And with that dulling of all the different traditions and specific diets also came the slow fading of their bloodline limit, which was already pretty subtle if you didn't know what you're looking for.

Anyways moving on, and if you want more details for my headcanons ab warring states Hatake's vs modern standard Hatake's look at my other time travel post bc I talk ab it more there.

So Kakashi is like 6 (holy shit he's a BABY baby)

Google keeps giving me conflicting numbers for Sakumo's age at his death so we're just gonna shrug and say he's in his early 30's.

Then for the founders;

Madara (23)

Hashirama (23)

Izuna (19)

Tobirama (18)

Sakumo is staring at these guys going through it bc they are BABIES to him. And like look, he's used to working with or even occasionally under people much younger than him, but like. Oh man that's the shodai hokage. And he's like a toddler.

(He's a 23 year old man but Sakumo is kind of having a crisis so he can't register that)

So like. All the founders have major daddy issues, right? Like we can all agree that's plausible? I'm so sorry I just think it'd be *really fucking funny* if they look at Sakumo and just kinda. Yeah.

You know what I mean.

Anyways;

No idea how they got there!! This is set maybe a week before Sakumo offed himself but now he can't kill himself bc that'd mean abandoning Kakashi to the fucking warring states.

Kakashi fits the warring states standards alarmingly well actually. Honestly I think even for that time period he's still scarily young to be on the field. People are giving Sakumo looks like 'it's so hard what we've been forced to do to our children, the battles we've pushed them into, the things they've seen and done all too young'

Sakumo is going *hrrg.* and having a good long look in the mirror actually. Proper crisis, lots of guilt, Kakashi should not be out in the field this young and at least before he was mostly getting baby missions but now they're stranded in time and keep running head first into trouble.

I want Izuna and Kakashi to fight and even though Kakashi absoloutley should NOT win that battle I want him to win just so that Madara and Tobirama can make fun of him for losing to an actual child

Izuna is mortified he wants that brat DEAD

Uhh I have some more but I'm at work and actually hit post too early on this post so I had to come back to rush add all these edits bc I meant for it to stay a draft I could keep adding too later. So I'll just come add more later fr

top ten drawings that will kill me when I try to color it

[marzipanandminutiae]

when early female dress historians (1930s-1950s) talk about how their interest started with looking at older clothing and wishing they could dress that way, too

I am taking your hand. I am helping you into an appropriately-sized corset with lacy combinations underneath. forget you ever heard of synthetic fabric or skirts shorter than instep-length. I am kissing you with tongue homosexually do you understand

[ghostface-knight]

hey guys just found out that people on tiktok are getting mad at anybody who headcannons any of the characters from the outsiders as gay because "it was the 60s"????

i hate it here

Thought posed:

Danny does the college stuff and interning for stuff at Wayne Enterprises while living in Gotham, but he doesn’t catch the Bats attention because he simultaneously is both Just Normal Enough while the Bats are Slightly Out Of Step of normal long enough that things with Danny don’t catch their attention. (Gotham as a whole is a huge ‘well this might as well happen’ place and after however many years…the threshold is a bit off for weirdness. Pair that up with normal Batdrama and role-code-switching and minor things are likely going to be subconsciously overlooked if not clocked as Dangerous.)

(Does Danny know the Bats’ IDs? … He would deny it if asked. Not his circus business though. He does think it’s smart that they at least try to cover their faces, unlike when he played the hero. He meets Clark before Superman and feels like he’s on the Office or something.)

Danny moves on with the astro-stuff (whether an astronaut, an astrophysicist, or whatever else) in another city and catches the attention of another hero as Not Normal, What’s Up With That Guy?? (two parts coincidence, one part Danny’s willingness to trust for the better, one part Uncanny) and they track his history to Gotham/WE and decide to ask the Batclan if they knew anything.

They find out nothing really is wrong with Danny (…the JLD was not called or conferred with, unfortunately for all) but it does spark the reeducation refresher of the Gotham Clan for Human Weirdness (that also educated the rest in just how messed up Gotham can be).

i'm not blaming anyone because there's literally no way you could know but whenever people say "i'm shocked you aren't already a fan of/aware of this pop culture thing" it always makes me a bit sad because. yeah i guess i probably would have been if i'd been allowed to have interests and casual hobbies that weren't constantly scrutinized and only deemed acceptable if they contributed towards my future academic development as a kid. maybe if i'd been allowed to use a computer or phone without my parents constantly breathing down my neck about what i was using them for and punishing me and further restricting my access to the internet if they caught me seeking out any kind of social or recreational interaction there that wasn't pre-approved and regularly checked to ensure i wasn't saying or doing anything that didn't suit their traditional conservative nuclear family sensibilities (or just, like, having fun in a way they couldn't understand tbh). maybe i would have been able to just like. enjoy things. maybe i would have had friends.

I drew Peach and Mario first then I was like y'know Luigi would probably want a fancy ball gown too then I got distracted and drew Peach as a flapper and never finished the first drawing
