#why am I laughing at this lol

[wasteland-wrecker]

Have you ever considered a

Porter Gage Romance? 🥺

Green Flags ✅✅✅

- 99% honest with you (1% if you truly piss him off)

- will laugh at your jokes (black humor lover, also will giggle at the most stupid ones)

- actually hates raiders

- can read and is secretly interested in reading more books n stuff

- smart (yet silly sometimes)

- touch starved (will rather die than admit it)

- mature man

- loyal partner

- would never eat stuff cooked by someone else (except you), too afraid to get poisoned

- falls in love very easily (if you’re his type, he’ll be at your feet in few seconds, but will always play it cool)

- is aware of his shitty life (<3)

- good fighter and strategist

- will try to help you in anything (once you’re his partner)

- always concerned about how you feel (will ask 10 times a day)

- hates chems and alchool (always sober)

- his voice and accent

- his smile (rare, cutest thing ever)

- knows stuff about fiki fiki but never practiced it at all (or at least not in a positive way, we don’t know much)

- is a bottom (yes, he is. With girls too. He’ll let you do the job)

- ugly (nobody will steal him from you) jk he beautiful sunshine

Red Flags 🚩🚩🚩

- can’t discern his private life to his “job life” (his relationship is based on how well you do your job, wtf)

- would kill people for fun

- if you stay with him you CAN’T have any other friend but him

- jealous af

- rotten teeth (has somebody ever seen his teeth? I didn’t, he hides them well)

- only cares about himself (uses people for his own advantage, you are the exception)

- sleeps with his weapon (and yeah, weapon stays under the pillow even during fiki fiki, you never know what could go wrong)

- won’t change his mind over things

- wears a construction site

- wears an “eyepatch” to look badass

- doesn’t trust people

- gets scared by his own shadow

- is convinced everyone wants to kill him (that’s actually true lol)

- stinky (hates baths, you have to threaten him everytime)

Ok, I don’t want this to be an official guide, this is just my depiction of Gage, my pov based on what I know about him. Some stuff is canon, other is not.

He might not be your type but… give this pathetic man a chance! 🥺

I've been reading detco for like 2 years and the unhealthy obsession fanart motivation finally caught up

(no reposts; reblogs appreciated)

i think sonic would actually really like the phrase "live laugh love" but not bc he likes the aesthetic that it usually belongs to, or is anything like the people who would hang those signs in their house. he would just see it somewhere w no context and think wow live laugh love? that's what i do!! and he would unironically say it bc it DOES fit him. like he would graffiti tag it around the city

so a thing this fandom does that remains FASCINATING to me, as a function of the fact a lot of this fandom is people's first fandom or only current fandom, is just... assume a lot of things it does is a scourge that this fandom has invented or doesn't exist outside of it? or like, is uniquely bad here? and i won't deny that sometimes mcyt fandom is a bit more intense by virtue of numbers, but like...

duo names: confusing fandom-injokes to describe duos and groups tend to be an anime fandom thing specifically for many historical reasons, but they're not uncommon. hey quick--if you haven't been in KHR fandom, can you guess what 1827 is? no? i'll give you a hint: that's actually a ship name. or, ygo fans, tell me the difference between puppyshipping, prideshipping, violetshipping, and rivalshipping. my hint is that they're all kaiba ships and two of them are actually the same ship. good luck!

reducing characters to a specific trait: have you read fic in another fandom before? i would recommend you go do so and come back to me. my example here is "sasuke likes tomatoes", for the record.

common au fanon that's confusing to outsiders: my deep cut here is "when i got into certain tv fandoms i was baffled by the existence of sentinel/guide fics", which is a slightly older tv fandom thing so many of you probably don't know what i'm on about. but trust me: in certain fandoms it's ubiquitous and unless you've watched a completely different tv show you're gonna have to entirely pick it up from reading fic. oh hey, hybrid aus and watcher!grian, nice to see your relative here,

fanon being treated as canon: did you know there's this whole bnha character, naomasa, who is treated as canonically having a lie detector quirk? did you know that, best i can tell, that's not in canon anywhere, it just got echoed through fanon enough that everyone treated it as canon? 'fanon trait becomes so ubiquitous everyone assumes it has to be there' is not a new thing. also, batfamily fans, i have been lead to understand the tim and coffee thing is also this.

characters being treated badly to make a different dynamic look better: the fact we have the term 'character bashing' tells you all you need to know, here. if anything my one complaint on this front isn't even that it's happening--it's that i wish bashing and/or "not [character] friendly" was tagged a little more frequently, haha.

characters being reduced to their family dynamics: tale as old as time. "even the family dynamic thing" yes even that. just because this fandom tended to be particularly ship-adverse in the past didn't mean it didn't do basically the same behaviors as any fandom with shipping did with those dynamics, just gen. and other gen fandoms also do that. yes, down to the "and shipping reduces them to a ship, unlike my gen dynamic, which is very in-character; why can't people just be friends?" thing. some of you have to have been marvel fans right.

characters being reduced to their ships: some of you have to have been marvel fans right.

The Discourse: yeah this is an "actively running show" fandom thing, but also a hiatus fandom thing. ask a homestuck about vriskourse sometime. as much as i hate to say it, it probably made doomsday discourse look cute.

and those are just like... some things i've seen people complain about on my dash recently. idk it just hit me there are probably fans in mcyt fandoms who are assuming that some things (like hybrid aus or duo names) are the kind of things that only happen here, so i thought i'd offer some examples of other places they happen! i also have even more examples if you'd like.

to be clear: this isn't shaming anyone for complaining about any of these things. lord knows i go complain to my friends about it all the time, just the other day i was complaining in the category of 'they keep bashing my guy'. it's more of just... a gentle reminder that maybe we're big, maybe we're loud, maybe we have problems... but these problems aren't always unique.

so uh. we're all suffering together i guess...?

Shout out to @creeps-and-pasta for this template!!

Just gotta get the juices flowing for more characters but until then enjoy!!

They are all my silliest creatures <3

And I’m their silliest god :3

[ganondoodle]

me: finally im able to cope with how much i hate totk and can fuel that energy into other things :)

nintendy: the shiekah tech just dissappeared and no one knows why or cares enough to investigate it lol. lmao. its gone bc the calamity is gone or something even tho it literally isnt bc ganondorf is right there haha lol, stop asking, why do you care. just forget it existed and look at that sexy goatman and glue instead!! glue! isnt that wild?? also its totally a direct, 100% same universe and exact same characters, despite them act totally out of character, sequel to botw-

[burningfunobject]

Am I the only one worried for act III??

Like they have SO much to get through in just 3 episodes and with the way the other two acts have gone (leaving certain characters for just one big segment in one episode instead of spreading their scenes out) makes me kinda worried

Like how are we going to get through all the stuff with viktor and jayce, get mel back, find ekko and the rat, caitvi, vi becoming an enforcer proper, jinxs everything AND noxus in just THREE episodes

Maybe they'll be longer??? I kinda doubt that tho

Remember when Eddie's last words to Buck almost were "Alright cowboy, go get 'em" and he would have had to live with that knowledge.

But it turned out it was the first thing Buck remembered.

[cobaltfluff]

happy april fools' from your big brothers, dumbass (affectionate)

[mischiefbuckley]

someone in that writers room is all up on ao3 tags because what do you mean we had alpha eddie, big titties buck, mpreg buck, eddie waits for buck at the hospital, injured buck/caretaker eddie, buck hands eddie lube (not in the bedroom on a call), eddie pays buck back from a bet, eddie sucks on a ring pop while staring at buck all happen in the same episode like so freaking crazy

The research notes on distilling dunamancy found in Brenattos apothecary are so interesting actually. It’s not outright stated who’s notes they are, but with a retrospective lens it’s quite clear that they’re Ludinus’. There are fragments there about his musings on some of Trent’s protégées showing proficiency with early dunamancy, that he is planning to incorporate it into his own skill sets to aid him in his pursuits, and he records how it seems the Kryn have been quote unquote “learning to bend and break the threads of destiny for hundreds of years. Be this truth, I cannot imagine the Raven Queen looks down upon them favorably either, though the thought brings a laugh to my lips.”

[morphestic]

about the recent Asagiri interview, i've just got one question.. why is everyone freaking (and I use this term lightly) over him saying that dazai hates chuuya? like yeah... I thought we've been knew...

[bigkickguy]

fear and hunger? more like - kiss and hug her <3 I just wanted to draw olivia and abella about to enter the smooch zone :,)
