So Spider-Man AU won!

Red Hearts is the daughter of the head scientist Bridget Hearts at wonderlabs, a lab specializing in genetic mutation. Her mother wants her to follow in her footsteps in the scientific world, but Red has no interest in science. She wants to pursue art but isn’t allowed to, so she sneaks out at night to use spray paints across the city. Bridget isnt an abusive mother, rather just strict and emotionally distant. Red is enrolled at a science specialized high school even though she has no interest in it. There she met her best friend. Chloe Charming. Chloe is the daughter of the NYPD captain charming and Ella charming who was friends with Bridget in high school. Red has been secretly harboring feelings for Chloe for months now and refuses to tell her, convinced they aren’t returned. As of this point Chloe feels nothing but good friendship for Red.

One night while staying late with her mom at her lab, an escaped spider bites Red on her upper left arm. Red smacks it away and doesn’t think anything of it until she gets home and immediately passes out on her bed face first. She wakes up in the morning and notices she can see without her glasses. Then she walks toward her mirror and notices something is different about her appearance. Her arms are much more muscular than before and she has definition in her abdomen. “oh that’s new” she says. She spends much of her morning trying to control her sudden strength and stickiness, weirdly enough. Red makes it to school in one piece, barely, causing Chloe to worry.

Over the next few weeks she creates a suit and starts dealing with small crimes in her area, to captain charming’s dismay. She creates a persona known as “the red spider”

Meanwhile with Bridget, she is trying to genetically engineer ways to enhance brain performance, but she tested it on herself too early and turns her mind into a Jekyll and Hyde like state with “Bridget” and “The Queen of Hearts” the queen of hearts quickly becomes the red spider’s #1 enemy.

One night the red spider saves Chloe from being mugged in an alley. Chloe starts saying how she can’t shake the feeling that she knows her. The spider refuses and says she must be confused. Chloe slowly rolls up the bottom of her mask and the spider let’s her. She stops just above her nose. She leans in and kisses her in the pouring rain. A few moments later she pulls away and stammers a goodbye and runs into the night leaving a confused Red behind.

The kiss stayed on Chloe’s mind for days, why did she do that? Who did she even kiss? Whoever it was her father despises. She also feels strangely guilty. Feeling like she betrayed Red, but she doesn’t like Red like that? Right?

Afte one particularly bad fight with the queen of hearts, Red manages to swing to Chloe’s bedroom, seeking bandaging, knowing she has to reveal her identity to Chloe. She slips in through the window, Chloe staring mouth agape from her bed. Red slowly pulls off her mask and looks up at Chloe. The two stared at each other for what felt like forever, until the moment was broken by red wincing and clutching her torn up stomach. Chloe rushes over and helps red pull down her suit to her waist and sets her down against her bed. She heads to the bathroom and comes back with a cloth, water, and bandages. She starts to clean the blood and grime off. Once a good amount was cleaned Red noticed Chloe looking at her newly there abs.

“Is THE Chloe charming checking me out?”

Chloe turns the color of Red’s hair and goes “WHAT? NO! ….those are just…new, is all”

Once red is all bandaged up, they lay in Chloe’s bed, side by side. Chloe sighs and says “so we have some things to talk about” Red turns to her and goes “okay I’m sorry i didn’t tell you but I didn’t want you to get hurt and about the kiss, I’ve liked you for like ever and I would’ve let you kiss me even if you didn’t know it was me, but you do now, so I don’t really know what that means for us but-“ the blue haired girl cuts her off with a kiss, placing her hand on the side of Red’s face.

“If you couldn’t tell, I like you, too”

“Oh, really? Couldn’t tell after you kissed me twice.”

A few weeks later the red spider and the queen of hearts have another particularly heated battle. In the last move, the queen throws her cards and the spider creates a reinforced web to bounce them back at her, hitting her square in the stomach. As she lay on the ground, her mask slipped off. The spider slowly approaches the figure and realizes the figure looks familiar. As she reaches her, the cold shiver of realization goes down her spine. Her mother is the queen of hearts. She just HURT her mother, possibly fatally. She rips her mask off and kneels next to her.

“Mom, hey, you’re gonna be okay”

“Red? Wha..what are you doing here?”

“Mom I’m the Red spider. I just hurt you, I’m so sorry please hold on I’ll get help-“

“Red, there isn’t time. I’m going, we have to face it”

“No no no no no no no mom you’re gonna make it, just let me get help”

Bridget grips onto her daughters hand with the little strength she has left.

“Red. Listen to me. I’m dying. Right here. There are some things I want you to do.”

Red nods signaling for her mother to continue.

“I’m leaving wonderlabs to Maddox, I know it was never your dream. You still have a share in the company but all of the stuff I do is left to him. I’m sorry I tried to force science on you, I just wanted you to be successful.”

Bridget takes a shakey breath.

“Keep in touch with chloe, she’s a good girl with a promising future. Maybe one day she’ll work at wonderlabs. I’d love to have her brain there.”

Red feels the tears welling up in her eyes start to fall.

“I love you, Red. I know I didn’t say it enough but I do. So please get out of here so you aren’t wanted for my murder. Go, I love you.”

And with that Bridget was gone. The queen of hearts, the head of wonderlabs, her mother. Gone.

Red flees the scene. She cleans up and prepares to face the press that night. Her funeral was the next week. She was asked to say a few words. She got to the podium and started sobbing immediately before she could say anything , she stepped down and let Maddox talk instead.

The city doesn’t see the red spider for a while after that.

After 6 months, the spider comes back, but something in her air was off, it was more reserved, less chatty, less there, but the city was glad to have her back either way.

Behind closed doors the spider cries in the arms of her girlfriend almost every night, plagued with nightmares and guilt she can never share.

On the topic of Mouthwashing though, I really do wish we got more time as Curly's POV to get a better understanding of the rest of the crew and their personalities.

Jimmy's pov he views Anya as weak, constantly fawning, a nervous wreck, incapable of thinking for herself. He views Swansea as this drunken, fat oaf who's never spent a day in his life being successful at anything other than one bottle down the drain away from complete spiral. He views Daisuke as his rich boy who's never had to work a day in his life and has absolutely everything— including the internship, handed to him on a silver platter. And he views Curly as this absolute. A thing to idolise, a thing to destroy, a stepping stone but also a helping hand. He utterly loves hating Curly, and he loves the hate that comes from it.

Jimmy rarely talks bad about Curly, only ever swapping the blame off himself but he never once talks badly about him the same way he does to the other crew members. Curly is his paragon, something he spent years and years of chasing, being so far and yet so close to, and when he finally feels like he could finally surpass him, or even simply be equals for once, Curly gets the opportunity of a lifetime at a job he hates. How selfish, how utterly pathetic and selfish for Curly to hate a job that makes Jimmy feel powerful. He likes it there, he is in control. And that resentment starts to truly build when Jimmy realises how selfish Curly is for wanting to escape from something that enables Jimmy so much.

But when we finally see through Curly's eyes, Anya is fun, she is enthusiastic, she loves to make jokes, she loves to draw, read, and even has what seems to be an budding relationship with Curly himself, taking to his comment about being fit to fly in her eyes like it's a common exchange of flirting between the both of them. She is at ease around him, her walls have dropped, and she feels safe to talk to him, and even attempts to try and get him to open up more to her.

Daisuke is capable, he is enthusiastic, a hard working Intern who really enjoys what he does, engineering. Curly is receptive of this, and isn't even the one to reprimanded him when he sets off the sealant foam because he can see the good in him, because he can see that he was genuinely trying to help. He never once comments about him being stupid, or lacking, or in any light that could implicate that he hasn't worked hard to get where he is, even if he did have assistance from his parents, he still met that mark of passing for internship.

And although not much is expressed with Swansea, we know that they're capable of being honest with eachother, and allow themselves to joke between the both of them. And when Curly does have to step in and act like a Captain, he even goes as far to trust the axe directly to Swansea himself. In a ship where absolutely everything has to go through him, everything needs clearance and everything needs to be triple double checked, he trusts Swansea with the axe.

And onto Jimmy, Curly can see his faults, the cracks and the damage Jimmy has on the surface, but insists on seeing something deeper within him too. Constantly reminding him that "They'll figure it out" and just to take "One day at a time" because he is genuinely reaching out to Jimmy and attempting to give him support. Despite the ugliness, he is looking at Jimmy with a lens of the bigger picture, his overall achievement of being his co-pilot, his friend. Curly was genuinely proud of Jimmy for accomplishing what he has, and acknowledges that it wouldn't have been wasted considering he has had it rough back on earth.

We can see both of their stark personalities in also how we see the ship itself. Everytime we are through Jimmy's perspective, the ship is destroyed, blanketed in a red hue constantly, it is crowded, suffocating, rusting and breaking apart at the seams. Even right before the ship is actually crashed, it is not long before his entire senses are overloaded with the red flashing lights of an emergency warning. He lives in that sunset, in that firey essence of destruction and death.

But through Curly's eyes? We see sun, clouds, happiness, warmth, we see the moon, the twinkling stars. The beauty of a lived space, the calmness and the comfort of the Tulpar. Celebrating birthdays, playing board games, reading books, enjoying life to their fullest on the ship. We know he enjoys simple food, trucker food. That caffeine keeps him up, that he refers to Polle with joy, referring to the statue as "Ponyboy", mentioning that he loves Anya's and Swansea's music choices on the radio.

And then suddenly his whole life is utterly consumed by that red, firey inferno. Constantly blaring in his eyes, burning away at his skin and even more constant reminder of the white, hot death that awaits him.

Everything in this game is through the lense of a cynical, self absorbed unreliable narrator who sees kindness as a weakness and lashes out accordingly. I would kill to have seen and experienced more as Curly, but I think the lack thereof is intentional. A nod to just how truly empty and vulnerable he has become, stripped away of all things that made him, him. Both in appearance and personality, all taken from him by the one person he thought he could trust.

Imagine calling Halbrand yours when you get drunk...

Imagine calling Halbrand yours when you get drunk...

It was Thranduil's fault! He knew you didn't handle alcohol well, and instead of worrying about you when you missed your 100-year meeting, he got all mean and sent three bottles of the strongest wine he could find and his favourite and most trusted servant - not that the spoiled brat would would admit it - and made you drink all of it in one sitting.

As you drank you started to complain to the man watching your suffering.

He surely wanted you dead, surely!

Who needs enemies when you have friends like this?

You finally got an answer when you started to plan what you would do in revenge when you met again, to which your "guard" answered that the prince would love to welcome you next time, exactly 99 years later, if you can be in time, his words.

Halbrand, following your rather loud answering curses, wandered into the room just in time to catch you when you tried to stand and immediately lost balance.

Elrond found you a few moment later with your head in the man's lap as you held on the lying sofa despite your insistence that you could stand just fine.

Your brother didn't miss a moment to tease you, claiming that Thranduil has strange ideas of courting. And you did not notice but Halbrand tensed at the comment, Elrond was watching close though, seeing the relieved exhale too after your reaction of disgust at the idea, claiming that the princeling is like a brother to you.

Elrond pretended to be hurt, and you rolled your eyes and said you were just friends. To which came the quick response that you seem to have too many friends lately as he eyed Halbrand with a strange look that you missed too.

You broke the silent staring contest when your brain finally caught up. Looking up to Halbrand with a sad smile, reaching up and finding a strand of his hair to curl around your finger to get his attention, you say that he is not a friend. Not like that, because he doesn't trust you with his secrets.

With your mood quickly changing, you cheerfully continue your conversation with the servant as slowly sit up you drink the remaining wine, telling him that you will go wherever you want, whenever you want but if his prince insist on being mean, you will just spend time with your king. Making Halbrand's heart skip a few beats, not just with your comment but the following deliberately exaggerated kiss on his cheek before you are turning to bicker with your brother once more.

Some miscellaneous trivia about the Hellraisers (my concept for a next-gen party involving Fig and Fabian's baby sister and a couple of theoretical Sandra Lynn-Jawbone kids):

-Despite Faroe's affinity for wild-flavored yogurt with fruit chunks, she is absolutely Hallariel's daughter, right down to the flighty, rich-girl nature, the love of letting loose, and next to no knowledge of basic life skills. This has, in part, come from Hallariel---outside of mandatory sparring lessons, of course---spoiling Faroe rotten, and Gilear has never once attempted to dissuade her. Of course, this treatment of Faroe didn't necessarily help Fabian's opinion of her in the early days, but seeing as she absolutely idolizes both him and Fig, they had to start getting along eventually. They still challenge each other to a duel whenever they see each other, though.

-Arko's personal hero is Gorgug, purely because of how he completely changed the game of artificing. They don't flip out often, but they did flip out when they first met Faroe and the twins and learned that they knew him, personally.

-Parker and Luna both see Adaine as their super cool older sister, but only Luna really views Aelwyn as her sister, too. It helps that they're both cat people, which Parker absolutely is not. (Luna has a cat familiar named Biscuit. She's a lovely little lady.)

-Luna originally bounced back and forth between gods, knowing that she wanted to be an Arcana Domain cleric but struggling to find a god that really suited her. She initially attempted to worship the more witchy aspect of Cassandra before realizing that she didn't really vibe with the whole "embracing the unknown" thing, gave Osmir (the god of magic and secrets) a shot before realizing that the time she needed to dedicate to him would make it impossible for her to also be a wizard... and then Cassandra and Ankarna ended up having a kid who needed a cleric, and lo and behold, they were perfect for Luna. Borealis is the deity of magic, wonder, discovery, exploration, and mischief, and all that cheerfully wondrous energy means that they’re actually pretty easy to promote—especially amongst rogues. If Cassandra is twilight and Ankarna is dawn, Borealis is the Northern Lights, and the awe that comes when you find something beautiful and extraordinary even in the harshest of conditions. They’ve got similar vibes to The Collector from The Owl House—all-powerful child with whimsy for miles.

-Marsh’s birth circumstances are… strange, to say the least. His father is aroace and proud of it, but he’d always wanted to be a dad, so he asked his hag patron for help—resulting in a child that was, quite literally, made in a cauldron. Marsh does wear his fey heritage with pride (and he’s on great terms with his dad’s patron, seeing her as his grandmother), but he’s still struggling to find ways to connect with his stone giant heritage. That’s partially why he chose to be a City druid—combining structures and tech with nature felt like the best way to honor both parts of himself.

-Marsh’s dad is a lawyer who specializes in negotiating, investigating, and breaking deals between mortals and extraplanar entities. He’s also very tight-laced and enjoys nothing more than a hearty debate, which has left almost all of the Hellraisers confused as to how he was able to have a son as laidback as Marsh. That is, until it's revealed that Marsh is also really good at debating---he's just more relaxed about it.

-To everyone's surprise, Roshini has a family that's literally Elmville's version of the Addamses---which, when you take into account that she's a cross between Cher from Clueless and Megan from But I'm a Cheerleader, is truly mind-boggling. Her mom is a very amoral Efreet who considers herself above the dealings and affairs of mortals (except for her darling husband and children, of course), her dad is an undead mortician and a brilliantly talented Necromancer wizard, her younger sister is a Phantom rogue who regularly communes with ghosts and uses those skills to commit petty crimes, and her younger brother is a Circle of Spores druid who is always either finding or growing incredibly disgusting, poisonous, and/or carnivorous plants. To sum it up, Roshini's house is even more haunted and foreboding than Mordred Manor, and it doubles as Elmville's one and only funeral home. Her parents still absolutely adore and support her despite her being decidedly not creepy and cooky, though her siblings are kind of embarrassed of her in the way that siblings are. Well, her sister is.

-Arko is smack dab in the middle of five siblings---two older brothers and two younger sisters, all with names that start with A (based off of my dad's IRL family dynamic, though he and his siblings all have names that start with J). Their oldest brother is a Thief rogue---specifically, the 2024 version that literally allows you to play a D&D cat burglar---their second-oldest brother is an Eloquence bard, their second-youngest sister is a Wild Magic sorcerer, and their youngest sister is... well, undecided as of yet, but based on how much she gets into fistfights at school, there's a betting pool amongst the Spitz siblings as to whether or not she'll be a barbarian or a monk. Arko's got 200 gold pieces on her multiclassing.

-Roshini, in a hilarious moment of accidentally falling into an old cliche, eventually winds up dating the captain of the Owlbears---Ryoko Dobashi, an amethyst dragonborn Samurai fighter... and the only Aberrant Mind sorcerer in a family of Draconic Bloodlines. Needless to say, they both bonded over being the odd ones out in their families, and they're widely regarded as Aguefort's power couple. Ryoko's also very serious and straight-laced, so Roshini's manic positivity definitely balances her out.

-Faroe does not actually take bard lessons from either Lucilla or Terpsichore---well, she does take some from Lucilla, but it's a once-a-week thing for songwriting purposes. Instead, the vast majority of her bard lessons are from a bard teacher who specializes in the storytelling aspect of bard magic, which is not only recommended, but vital to being a College of Spirits bard. (Fig likely would have signed up for those classes as a Lore bard had she actually attended bard class.) Also, Faroe casts magic using tarot cards. The guitar is for Go-Ghost rehearsals and gigs only.

-Despite absolutely loving being a Beast barbarian, Parker is always a little hesitant to go into a rage---not because he doesn't enjoy going more werewolf, but because he's nervous about fully losing control and accidentally biting someone. He may have a lot of pride about being a werewolf, but he knows that it's not something to be passed on lightly. Combine that with a truly ungodly strength score (like, Parker is the embodiment of that rare and glorious moment when you roll three sixes when you stat out your level one character and know you can easily max out their core stat), and Parker, for all of their wild and rebellious traits, kind of handles themselves with kid gloves, especially around their party. Both of the twins inherited Jawbone's kind nature, and it's very evident in Parker.

-I may have mentioned that the party name came from them performing an exorcism on their first day... and, well, this is basically what went down: Faroe decided that the best way to form a party was to follow in the example of the Bad Kids and get detention, staging a fight with Parker while Luna attempted to break into the Restricted Section (she's still Fig's sister, as sweet as she is). Meanwhile, Arko wanted to use a robot to pants Gilear during the welcome ceremony, but Marsh saw them and attempted to interfere with the robot... causing it to set on fire, and Jawbone had to physically throw it out of the building (also inspired by an IRL experience of mine, except it was a microwave). As they were getting chewed out, Roshini stepped in and claimed that she'd accidentally caused the fire, which just got her detention along with the rest. While they were all in detention, chaos broke out when it was revealed that a demon had been smuggled into school... and it was friendship at first ritual circle.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand that's it!

Edit: Intro post to them here, Picrews here

Honestly, I need more of Ford being a supportive brother bc there's not enough (that or I'm just not searching well enough?)

For real though, it's so funny to see his reaction to fiddlestan lol

I love your comics, btw! They made my day!

Aww thanks! And I agree at what you said, there's not enough fanarts about Ford supporting Stanley and cheering him on (he was affected by Mabel and probably watch romcoms with her, lol)

It's refreshing to see him being goofy because a lot of people think he's a cold nonchalant person who only cared about himself but that's not true. He loves his family and nothing will ever change that, just had some trouble expressing it. He's slowly opening up with the kids and especially with his brother, he's even catching up with Fiddleford. Making up for the lost time he spent in the dimensions he's in, for 30 years. He must've felt lonely trying to survive, then suddenly thinking of his brother in the middle of the night then crying because he misses him so much, it makes me so sad ☹️

I have a sibling, I would never live without them. My tiredness and fatigue will be gone in an instant when I see my (twin) sister walk out of the door of her classroom and showing me her plates she did. I also have a little brother, we usually bond by play fighting and when I have the time, I join in with him when he's playing basketball.

I love them dearly, they never make me feel lonely.

I have a thought that during Stanford's journey in the other dimensions, he tried building a time portal. He thought it would be easy because he already build something similar to it. So he tried, he wanted to go back in time where his Pa dragged his brother out, throwing his things on the ground while yelling him, he needs to go back. Seeing Stanley on a sidewalk, waiting for Stanford to return the "high six".

If he only went down and joined or defend his brother, he would never feel this hole of guilt piercing his stomach.

He was frustrated for a few times building it, it never worked. He was never a mechanic to begin with, he had some helped, but sadly, the thing they built pushed him away.

charlie

charlie seems like one of those characters who will be secretly quite deep, let's see if he lives up to that

he's funny because he has to be, I think, both for himself and for others

humour is like his coping mechanism but also something he genuinely likes, it's his way of having a strong exterior

he doesn't respect authority, like basically at all, defies them when he can

that's probably part of the reason he's quite mean to cameron, because they're on two different ends of that scale and they judge each other for it

probably why he likes keating too, because keating is authority that doesn't mind that disrespect, which then makes him respect keating

comfortable with his friends and cares about them (again, their difference in priorities is probably why he argues with cameron)

stereotypical school hating funny kid

unafraid to do silly things out of nowhere, quite blunt (towards cameron, anyway)

walks the line between teasing and making fun to the rest of his friends well

pretty comfortable with neil and definitely proud of him for basically defying authority and being more like charlie and its great to watch

the one thing he seems to get really mad about is when someone (cameron) does the exact opposite of what he believes - charlie believes in defying authority and in neil and etc, so when cameron goes against all that he explodes

he will do what he wants to no matter the consequences (also I'm convinced he would try to punch mr perry if he could)

what's really interesting here is that before I did these, I didn't really get why charlie was so hostile to cameron, but now I get its an opposition in beliefs and everything makes sense now ohhhhh (was I stupid for not realising this before like is this something most people realise without having to read the script several times and make character studies)

to me, charlie is closer to one of the protagonists than one of the side characters, mostly because of his conflict with cameron

also his character depth absolutely lived up to my expectations by the way

[kairithemang0]

Thinking about the fact Curt probably spent 4 years thinking about the night Owen fell, ways it could've gone differently. How he couldn't have set the bomb for 3 minutes, how he couldn't have eaten that banana and dropped the peel, hell, couldn't have even gotten caught in the first place. So much time wasted trying to rewrite the ending so that he and Owen could've both made it out in one piece.

Owen, on the other hand, spent those years thinking about that night entirely differently. He saw all the bad parts of it, remembering all the wrong Curt did. He drank on the job, he was overconfident, he didn't even attempt to save him. He thought their relationship was stronger than that. I believe Joey Richter once mentioned Owen's feelings for Curt died the second he saw Curt walk away. Owen didn't even think about the fact that there was no time, he probably believed Curt's recklessness would lead to him thinking he could save Owen, and that even if they didn't make it, they'd die together. So, of course, Owen grew bitter. It was probably even worse after he joined Chimera, I'm sure they knew Owen was sensitive to the topic of Curt, and they used that against him to make his hatred even worse.

They both went on such different paths after the fall. Owen mentions that he probably spent as much time hating Curt as Curt did hating himself. Curt still hates himself for it, he confesses to Tatiana that it still bothers him even 4 years later, he tells us this in Spy Again as well with the fact he's trying to convince himself that killing Owen shouldn't be bothering him so much anymore. Owen, therefore, still hates Curt. Whether he would still hate Curt or not without Chimera's involvement is up to interpretation, however I would say he wouldn't be doing anything like what he does in the show without Chimera around.

It's so fascinating to me the way they both ended up 4 years later, how much they both changed. Curt keeps saying during the show that he wishes he was still "the old Curt". The invincible super spy who used cool gadgets and was confident and didn't have this looming fear of losing people he cared about again, that's the old Curt. This "new Curt" is afraid, he opens up to people, he's less confident and he screws things up and he doesn't know how to fix it. He wants to be his old self, but also, he of course can't forget the fall, the fact that it was his fault Owen fell. And Owen can't forget the fact it was Curt who left him, Curt who led him to be stuck with Chimera, Curt who ruined his life. What's scarier is that Owen still can't shoot Curt, even after all that hatred. Curt still gets into his skin, even though Owen as the DMA was so confident that he could stay focused and be able to kill Curt, and that he'd enjoy doing it. Even then though, Curt's the one who takes the final shot, after Owen egged him on so much. I wonder if Curt could've killed him without Owen's taunting. I think he knew one of them was going to have to die going into the staircase scene, and he knew he needed to stop Chimera at all costs. Still, I don't think he would've been able to kill Owen so easily if Owen hadn't been making it easier. "That secret died the night you left me for dead" is where Curt finally convinced himself that he could kill Owen. He was so hurt by it, but finally came to the conclusion Owen was actually gone. I guess "here's some advice, Curt, it's called moving on, do give it a try" was just Owen's way of really sealing his fate.

Not a request, but I wanted to ask if you have any advice for running a blog like this? I have an agere moodboard/stimboard blog and have had it for a while now but still don't have any requests, I don't know if there's a way I can make myself more known in the community? I really enjoy making this stuff but it's kind of sad to see nobody see my content or request stuff for me

Hey friend, this is an interesting question!! I've answered a similar one before, which I recommend checking out! I've tried to make my answers here different from that post, but all I can really tell you is what seems to work for me, so I hope this helps!

1. Consistent posting!! I'm talking at least a post a day. I have posts already queued up for the next five days, because consistent posting helps people see my new stuff and helps me keep a consistent posting schedule!!

2. In that same vein, the more you post in general, as long as you use the agere tags, the more likely people are to see it! My posts had the highest general visibility when I was posting three new moodboards a day!!

3. I've said it before and I'll say it again, a good way to get requests is to post self indulgently about things that inspire you!! Not only because chances are someone else likes the same things you do, but because it allows people to see the style of boards you're offering! I started my blog by making a bunch of posts about bluey, after all!!

4. It always helps to engage with others in the community! Reblog stuff with nice tags, comment on posts, request stuff from others, play people's games, and be an active and friendly person!! Even if it doesn't boost engagement on your account (it probably will), you can make friends this way!

5. I've also said this before, but I firmly believe that focusing on notes is not a good way to run a Tumblr blog. This is the post into the void, post for yourself first, yell about cool things with your friends site!! I understand that not getting new requests or lots of engagement is frustrating, but not everything needs to get hundreds of notes, just try your best!

6. I want you to remember that sometimes it's all about luck. In my case, I got a lot of my followers before making moodboards was common on agere Tumblr at all, which was lucky. Just try your best, you never know when something you make will end up being popular! Finally, try to have fun, because that's what we're all here for!!

[anhonest-puck]

what's your opinion on lotf being taught in schools? because it's great that teachers encouraged reading it, and let students explore, but bad teaching can ruin a book, and no one enjoys something as much if it's forced :/

i can never decide if compulsory reading is good or not, what do you think?? :)

this is a great question!!

i think it’s great that we’re being exposed to this book because of the lessons it can teach, but you’re absolutely right; bad teaching is what kills this book. there’s so much mischaracterization of the characters (roger especially,) and that, in my opinion, is one of the main things that’s one of the main killers i believe. and again you’re totally right with that!! it’s INSANELY difficult to really listen in and pay attention to a book that you’re forced to read, even if you really do enjoy it. being forced to read books is what completely killed my interest in reading, and i wouldn’t pick up a book on my own for a solid three or four years. but, like to everything, there’s pros and cons to compulsory reading. i’d say some of the pros to c reading are: it can expose you to books you could have never read, and it can possibly lead you to want to discover more and find a deeper meaning! however, and like i said before, it can absolutely kill the interest to read. i’ve found that when middle schoolers and high schoolers are able to free read and then write an essay or complete project, that it’s way easier for them to talk about something they truly enjoy. but yes, i 100% think that lord of the flies is an essential book to read for freshman/sophomores, specifically. i feel like if students were given the opportunity to do projects on books they got to choose themselves and really enjoyed, it would encourage more to get into reading and helping them discover books they truly like instead of overlooking them because they avoid reading. it really is a great book once you’re given the opportunity to look into it and dig deeper into it! it’s such a well written book, and it’s such a shame that it’s been ruined for so many people due to awful teachers and teaching styles.

again, thank you so much for this question i had fun speaking my mind and answering it! :) (so sorry for the long response, i had a few points to make BABA!!)

I need your thoughts in a Gilbert who didn't meet Anne until later in life- let's say at redmond

For the sake of historical accuracy, PLEASE PICTURE ME DOING THE RASPUTIN DANCE as I read this. I love this ask, and I stan the asker. 🫡❤️

I think we’ve briefly talked about this before, in a superficial sort of way, but I’m obviously thrilled to get a little (read: okay, a lot) more detailed.

What would Gilbert be like, if he hadn’t met Anne until Redmond?

Anytime anyone takes this approach in fanfiction… I admit; I cower in a corner and try to look away. Of all the Anne multiverses, this is my least favourite. Like, easily. This notion makes my head and my heart say OW OW OW. For me, a big part of why Anne and Gilbert went in so deep was the heft and weight of the history between them. Their story is a slow burn that lasts well over a decade, these two idiots-in-love have known each other since they were 11 and ‘nearly 14’ respectively. We have all the good stuff, right? Their initial meet-cute-to-end-all-other-meet-cutes, the frenemies, the one-then-two-sided pining, the grand gestures that give way to an honest friendship (no one makes Anne laugh like Gilbert does, and he’s the SOLE fellow she feels comfortable enough with to share her honest feelings with, also see: Rollings Reliable)… it just means so much to me. When we take that away, we take away so much of what makes them… them.

But of course, you can rely on Gilbert himself to articulate these thoughts, too.

“Yes, it’s beautiful,” said Gilbert, looking steadily down into Anne’s uplifted face, “but wouldn’t it have been more beautiful still, Anne, if there had been NO separation or misunderstanding . . . if they had come hand in hand all the way through life, with no memories behind them but those which belonged to each other?” — Gilbert ‘the absolute sweetest and most poignant peach’ Blythe, Anne of Avonlea

But hey. Let’s go there anyway, because it v interesting and natural to wonder and speculate about.

To make it make sense, we must first subtract Anne from Green Gables, and Avonlea.

And 🥴… there’s a lot of collateral there. Minnie May Berry would’ve suffered the most and pays for the Anne-void discrepancy with her actual life. Lavendar Lewis? She would’ve never reconnected with Stephen Irving… and Mister Harrison would have stayed estranged from his wife. There’d be no A.V.I.S., although that seems like teeny-tiny in the wake of the rest. On the flip side, would Matthew have lived longer had the boy meant for Green Gables actually been sent? A solid maybe. And Gilbert? He would’ve never had any sense knocked (cracked, slated) into him.

Before Anne arrives in Avonlea we have a couple canon descriptions of Gilbert, thanks to Diana. We learn that he ‘torments the life’ out of the girls (and further, that they like it), and that he’s “aw’fly” handsome. We first see him pinning Ruby Gillis’ hair unto the back of her desk chair. A hot minute later, he’s all but desperate for Anne to look at him. Moreover, he thinks Anne should look at him.

“Gilbert Blythe wasn’t used to putting himself out to make a girl look at him and meeting with failure.” — Anne of Green Gables

Without Anne? Gilbert Blythe is probably a bit of cad (need that gif of Josie Pye saying, “Gilbert Blythe is rake” right here). Just kind of a regular hoe. BUT. We have a canon quote to support this, too.

‘Even in quiet Avonlea there were temptations to be met and faced. White Sands youth were a rather “fast” set, and Gilbert was popular wherever he went. But he meant to keep himself worthy of Anne’s friendship and perhaps some distant day her love; and he watched over word and thought and deed as jealously as if her clear eyes were to pass in judgment on it.’ — Anne of Avonlea

I feel in terms of just straight-up facts, we can reduce Anneless Gilbert to :

1. a smarty pants in an academic sense,

2. a smarty pants in the jokey non-academic sense

3. popular

4. cute, and aware he’s cute; that ‘teasing smile’ never really quits and he carries on winking ‘with inexpressible drollery’ just whenever he sees fit

This list looks a lot like the Gilbert we canonly know, until we arrive at…

5. egotistical on a degree level of… eh, medium-rare?

Without Anne to ego-check him; Gilberts pride remains fully intact, and what’s more, it’s grown and developed into a mature and self-assured vanity by the time he lands in Kingsport. Without Anne, by the time he’s 17, I think he’s probably walked home and/or kissed every pretty or exceptional girl in a good fifteen-mile radius. I would alsooo guess that Avonlea folks imagined he’d eventually settle down with Ruby. But what they don’t know is that he’s gone kissed every last one of the fine Gillis sisters. Even the oldest ones, Myra and Sara. I would also confidently speculate that this boy’s rather cavalier with his Romeo-ing ways, too, and that he’s inadvertently hurt some very real feelings… without even fully realising it. He just doesn’t take anything… seriously. Which Gillis sister did he kiss first? Oh, don’t ask him. He doesn’t remember.

And let’s support this guess with another semi-related and semi-justifying canon quote?

"Did I ever correspond with Ruby Gillis? I'd forgotten. Poor Ruby!” — Gilbert ‘dashing out heart hopes everywhere’ Blythe, Anne of Ingleside

But awoooo, settle down? No, Sir, not Gilbert. Gilbert wanders into Redmond a bachelor, free and clear of any responsibilities or ties, back home. ‘Excellent creatures though they are,’ there’s not been a single girl that he’s crossed paths with that has yet been able to stir his deeps… or even his shallows.

ADDITIONALLY… he walks into Redmond maybe two or three years earlier than he did in the books. Because without Anne, Gilbert has no reason to give up the Avonlea school – he saves his would-be room and board expenses by living at the Blythe homestead, and very simply and economically gets to college all the quicker for it. He does still want to be a Doctor. He has a great-uncle that’s a Doctor over in Four Winds, and Gilbert still believes…

“It’s a splendid profession,” he said enthusiastically. “A fellow has to fight something all through life . . . didn’t somebody once define man as a fighting animal? . . . and I want to fight disease and pain and ignorance . . . which are all members one of another. I want to do my share of honest, real work in the world, Anne . . . add a little to the sum of human knowledge that all the good men have been accumulating since it began. The folks who lived before me have done so much for me that I want to show my gratitude by doing something for the folks who will live after me. It seems to me that is the only way a fellow can get square with his obligations to the race.” — Gilbert ‘getting rather sentimental now’ Blythe, Anne of Avonlea

Now here’s where I fall off and digress again. I believe this is the end of educated guessing and reasonable fact-inventing about what an Anneless Gilbert probably looks like.

But for bonus points, what happens with this version of Gilbert collides with a version of Anne that never made it to Avonlea? Do they still get together? Likely. But HOW?

If someone put a gun to my head (lollll) and made me write (as previously denounced, I realise) a fanfiction about it (warning, it’s definitely gonna be giving… sensationalist and 🤌🏻 fanfictiony, but really if you’re gonna go AU… go AU; all this fully recognising that this would never be a LMM setting), here’s how I’d try to pull it off:

Anne, by the time she’s fourteen, has run away from the Hopetown Assylum. It’s nothing but hunger (Anne of Ingleside), verbal abuse, maybe worse abuse, and (despite the name) hopelessness there. Anne’s resourceful, we know she has a special knack for making things happen, and she decides to strike out on her own. But not without a plan. There’s not a lot of jobs for kids out there that also come with a safe place to lay their heads at night (though she might make up her mind to sleep under a nice obliging tree, should the need arise; “I had made up my mind that if you didn’t come for me to-night I’d go down the track to that big wild cherry-tree at the bend, and climb up into it to stay all night. I wouldn’t be a bit afraid, and it would be lovely to sleep in a wild cherry-tree all white with bloom in the moonshine, don’t you think?” ), so she, playing to her strengths and daring to dream, thinks of drama and being a stage actress. She gives a spectacularly good reading of Tennyson’s “the Lady of Shalott” to a Hopetown Theatre manager who not only pities her but also finds her wildly entertaining. Alas… he cannot offer her a job. He tells her, though, that he has contacts with W.W. Cole Circus (they toured Nova Scotia in the 1880’s, I checked this out too; I have whatever unimaginative disability it is that requires even fantasies to have bearings in reality), that W.W. Cole is always looking for cheap labour while they tour. Only!! They really just hire/have use for boys. (We can circle back to déjà vu-ish Green Gables problems here.) Anne, however, doesn’t care. She’s got a lead. She knows she can work just as hard as any boy, and means to prove it. She’s given a job (mucking elephant stalls, for starters) on a trial basis (circling Avonlea again), and does such a bang-up job that she’s kept on for a week. She becomes an instant friend with “Nova Scotian Giantess” Anna Swan. (Also a real person, from a real W.W. Cole circus circuit, pls see above regarding fantasies borne from reality. She was 7 feet, 11 inches tall, 400 pounds, and eventually married another ‘giant’ from Kentucky). Anna advocates for Anne to be kept on permanently (trying to @ Aunt Josephine almost, here). Anna, who is emphatically religious (irl when she retired, she went on to teach Sunday School at her church) and ladylike and kind, sees to Anne’s studies and upbringing when they aren’t performing. She recognises Anne’s academic abilities and leverages her own position to see that Anne is promoted, as the years carry on. Anna, duh, encourages Anne to save her wages—enough to get herself through four years at Redmond college… that she might go on to have a career outside the instability of circus acts. By the time Anne is 20, she’s far more widely recognised as Lady Cordelia Fitzgerald, and she’s a terribly accomplished trapeze artist and a very elegant acrobat (let’s throw in one minor incident where she fell off a tightrope and broke her ankle here, as we circle back to Avonlea ridgepoles), as well as especial homies with every tiger and elephant and cigar-smoking-chimp that graces the ring. She woefully wears the assigned pink tights and costume, despite often still lamenting that “red haired people should never wear pink.” She also has finally saved enough of her wages to get herself a B.A.

Her very last performance sees her signing off at W.W. Cole’s Kingsport show. Who do you bet’s in the audience? Gilbert Blythe. The football captain, Lamba Theta inductee, incumbent class president… who also, as it happens, is there escorting one Philippa Gordon.

“I saw only one really handsome fellow among them. He went away before you came. I heard his chum call him Gilbert.” — Phil Gordon, Anne of the Island

Gilbert’s taken with ‘Lady Cordelia’ at first glance. Phil’s also taken with her. The two spend the rest of the show trying to spot Lady Cordelia in her support roles of the other acts. Is that Lady Cordelia lighting the fiery rings? At any rate, for Gilbert, the deeps? Shaken, stirred, invariably earthquaked, when he and Phil get to make actual introductions at the end of the evening production, as they and the rest of the crowd walk out, stage-door style. Anne, on the other hand, is unimpressed at best.That boy was “awfully bold to wink at a strange girl” (he’s not even the first fellow to wink at her in the last thirty minutes)… all while another girl was on his arm, no less. Rather a splendid chin, though. 👀 Maybe one could say he was equally as handsome as he was bold.

“But, of course, the one I like best I can’t get. Gilbert Blythe won’t take any notice of me, except to look at me as if I were a nice little kitten he’d like to pat. Too well I know the reason. I owe you a grudge, Queen Anne.” — Philippa Gordon, Anne of the Island

That small matter aside, who else might be in attendance? I mean, Roy Gardner, of course. (This could easily substitute his, “And you are the Miss Shirley who read the Tennyson paper at the Philomathic the other evening, aren’t you?”)

Days later, and still wanting to know exactly who she was, Phil catches sight of ‘Lady Cordelia’ (wearing Redmond colors, at that!) reading epitaphs at Old St. John’s cemetery, and we slip back into canon here. Almost. Phil and Anne become fast friends, as is natural and fitting, but far less can be said for poor Gilbert, who now has a very awkward time trying to gently cast off Phil while simultaneously wanting to cosy up to her new freshette friend. After all, Anne is Gilbert’s ideal woman.

If Gilbert had been asked to describe his ideal woman the description would have answered point for point to Anne, even to those seven tiny freckles whose obnoxious presence still continued to vex her soul. Gilbert was as yet little more than a boy; but a boy has his dreams as have others, and in Gilbert’s future there was always a girl with big, limpid gray eyes, and a face as fine and delicate as a flower. — Gilbert Blythe, Anne of Avonlea

For Gilbert to finally win over that ‘Queen Anne, my Queen Anne, queen of my heart’ we’ll need to see academic rivalry, a relationship-mending grand gesture (these two starting off on the wrong foot is a canon event, and I cannot interfere), Gilbert Saves a Life or Two (lots of congenital health problems for people of Anna’s size, her hand is shooting right up as a volunteer for this incident, and by now Gilbert is nearly white coat qualified), one rejected proposal after two years of genuine friendship, Anne and Roy fully courting, and Gilbert Blythe’s to ego finally give way to the purity of his dreams and aspirations.

“He had made up his mind, also, that his future must be worthy of its goddess. She held over him the unconscious influence that every girl, whose ideals are high and pure, wields over her friends; an influence which would endure as long as she was faithful to those ideals and which she would as certainly lose if she were ever false to them. In Gilbert’s eyes Anne’s greatest charm was the fact that she never stooped to the petty practices of so many of the Avonlea girls—the small jealousies, the little deceits and rivalries, the palpable bids for favor. Anne held herself apart from all this, not consciously or of design, but simply because anything of the sort was utterly foreign to her transparent, impulsive nature, crystal clear in its motives and aspirations.” -- Anne of Avonlea

And ultimately, this seems like a good place for that old case of typhoid for Gilbert and for Anne to realise her feelings, too. It would take Gilbert a full four years and nearly dying trying, to put a ring on it. For my last trick (read: in conclusion), here's a cute lil’ attempt at more canon justification for this utter nonsense (if you just squint):

"Mother dearwums," said Jem, "can I have those old ostrich feathers in the garret to sew in the back of my pants for a tail? We're going to have a circus tomorrow and I'm to be the ostrich. And we're going to get an elephant." "Do you know that it costs six hundred dollars a year to feed an elephant?" said Gilbert solemnly. "An imaginary elephant doesn't cost anything," explained Jem patiently. Anne laughed. "We never need to be economical in our imaginations, thank heaven." — Anne of Ingleside

SO FRIENDS. ROMANS. @batrachised.

What would yooooour take on an Anneless Gilbert be? An Avonlealess Anne? I’m sooo curious.

Reasons To Be Beautiful - Hole

Love hangs herself With the bedsheets in her cell Threw myself on fires for you 10 good reasons to stay alive 10 good reasons that I can't find Oh, give me a reason to be beautiful So sick in his body so sick in his soul Oh, give me one reason to be beautiful Oh, and everything I am

☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ ୨⎯ (divider by : @natsusaki ) ⎯୧

[thefloatingwriter]

hello!! i’m curious about your playlist post since you said they were songs from your beetee playlist. i was wondering if you could elaborate on why the songs fit him? particularly foreigners god bc i love hozier

i just love reading your takes on beetee!

i’m so so so glad you asked this!! and i’m so happy to hear that you enjoy my take on beetee’s character!! 💗💗 i love hearing that people like to hear my insanity about this one random guy.

okay. i’m going to go in order with the poll so foreigner’s god will be last but i have a Lot of thoughts about that one so it might be the longest rant lol!

allies or enemies — the crane wives:

this song definitely fits my interpretation of his inner conflict in his arena, which will be explored much more in second chapter of the beetee fic, but in short, he had an ally during his games who died in front of him. before that, he had the misfortune of having a relationship similar to rue and katniss’ with her. the ally was a dead ringer for his younger sister adeline; black hair, dark eyes, they were even the same age. watching her die was for obvious reasons insanely traumatic, and it made him question exactly who his ally had been to him.

devil’s advocate — the neighborhood:

this entire song is about the voice inside your head telling you you’re not good enough or that you’re a lost cause, which is basically exactly what beetee thinks of himself, mainly because of other people’s perceptions of him. he get better later on at changing his own opinion of himself, but it takes a lot of personal growth so.

also he is plays the devil advocate A Lot because he loves provoking arguments (and pissing people off. that too.)

nobody — mitski:

this relates a lot to how beetee tries so hard to be what his mother wants but never fitting it because (as he later figures out) he will never be her sister. it doesn’t help that he looks so much like her either.

it also touches on the feeling of alienation (which i will talk about way more in the foreigner’s god section) that beetee feels commonly.

2Econd 2Ight 2Eer - will wood:

this is the easiest song to explain: it makes no sense and beetee doesn’t either. he’s also kinda crazy so the song really does fit insanely well.

foreigner’s god — hozier:

foreigner’s god is all about colonialism and the alienation and isolation people feel towards one’s own culture that results from it. beetee is latino on his mom’s side, french on his dad’s. his parents never made him feel different for it, and he learned both spanish and french at home, or at least the snippets that still exist in Panem. the problem was that he learned the hard way that you didn’t speak another language traditionally of an oppressed group outside of your own home. french was okay; the peacekeepers from One thought it was fun since they had to learn french at the Academy. spanish… not so much. he was treated with his first experience with the whipping post because of it. he was eight.

but it’s also about isolation, in many forms. he’s the oldest of his siblings, doesn’t have many friends due to going to a school outside of the Stills, doesn’t even really feel connected to his parents. he's a child of mixed ethnicity who has darker skin than most of his siblings (and most people in Three, for that matter), whose so smart it’s commonly isolating, whose the only kid from the Stills who went to a school in Stepanov, who was the first person from the Stills to earn a full ride scholarship to Three’s college (or an offer to go to college at all). the constant feeling of being separate from who would be his peers under normal circumstances has made him feel isolated and constantly “other”.

thank you so much for the ask!! i love absolutely any excuse to talk about beetee (in case you couldn’t tell lol) 💗

[whimsical67009]

ok guys so here's my abnormality dancing girl analysis,,, so like (tw for mentions of sewer. Sliding)

tame mene, a girl who thinks she's "mediocre" and "average" and stuff, and probably gets bad or average grades is the main character of this song, wanting to be "abnormal" to others, and "breaking out of the chrysalis and becoming a butterfly", and all that and the song uses dancing too

i feel like, mene wants to be seen by others, and i think the line "dressed up in all transparent clothes" represents this as she wants people to see her for what she can do. im also sure purple butterflies mean something like wanting to be free from the chains of the real world and stuff. though im not sure about that. but im sure guchiry made the tame mene and the butterfly purple.

rhis is common knowledge but, you know how butterflies used to be caterpillars, slow, ugly, unoticable. but butterflies are able to capture anyone's attention, they're pretty, they're appealing, they're abnormal. mene has a mentality where she believes she'll become a butterfly in the future, if she tries hard enough.

also the song has 3 sections i believe. but theres a very small section before the 3rd one. first caterpillar the start of the song, chrysalis, and then butterfly. also to mention her clothes change per section. the first section, meant to represent a caterpillar is just mene in her uniform, like the other students. the next section, a stage representing a caterpillar in a chrysalis, soon becoming a butterfly, her clothes are rather, different, and she's infront of the class now. and there's lyric saying she's "locked the door" and that might relate to a chrysalis, but maybe im just overanalyzing that. the last part, the butterfly section. the back of her clothes represent a butterflys wings. also her hair and eyes have gotten more purple and brighter, garnering more attention to her. and her clothes now show more of her body, probably an attempt to get people to see her. and the patterns in her outfit being quite abnormal. and her hair being much more different, and in this part she's now on a stage, and you know how in the last two parts the chorus repeats? "Look at me now, touch me right now, I’ll throw away my ordinary clothes Now, from my chrysalis, I’ll become a butterfly. I’ll show off everything as it is There are no performers on this cooled-off stage, so I'll beat out the steps, 1, 2, 3 I'm not being manipulated, I'm dancing! Yeah, I'm going crazy!" now its Look at me now, touch me right now, dressed up in transparent clothes, Now, from my chrysalis, I’ll become a butterfly. I’ll show off everything as it is There are no performers on this impassioned stage, so I'll beat out the steps, 1, 2, 3 I'm not being manipulated, I'm dancing! Yeah, I'm going crazy!" it changed. now it's impassioned stage, and now it's "dressed up in all transparent clothes" she's abnormal now. but at what cost? as at that part she realizes she'll never get seen.

also in the mini section in between the chrysalis section and the butterfly section, in the instrumental, she was praising and adoring namimiya miya, a honor student who garners a lot of attention in school. and falling in love with her "is this love?" in a diary entry talking about her. possibly falling in love with her, or maybe not her. maybe she was falling in love with her abnormality. because she achieved something she couldn't. and in the lart where mene was singing, she was in an empty room. with a mirror. "where am i? who are you?" and then after that, mene mentions " going crazy" and then a clip of her eyes becoming more bright plays.

so here i have some mini details. red flowers on a desk of someone or whatever i forgot, signifies the person is dead. tame mene, probably after her realization committed sewerslide. and also she has a diary sayinf things about her life in school. also in the first section, there's a scene with an honor student getting something. which probably pushed menes mentality even more. and her name, mene means mene blue morpho butterfly, and tame referring the back of a morpho butterfly. also another thing is that she's introverted, and not social. as she thinks her classmates are the same as the others.

anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk, also uh im probably projecting and some things here may be wrong dont believe all this.
