#years after the prank

[puppetmaster13u]

Prompt 71

Klarion is delighted, excited, impatient, and so very happy. He’s found a friend, not the justice league baby-crew who don’t know how to make friends properly or the order-magician who doesn’t play right, but another realm-being his age! They’re even around the same death-date, his is just a couple years earlier! But to beings who aren’t adults until they’re well into the hundreds that’s practically nothing!

His new friend even has a familiar too- even if he has to explain what a familiar is- and, and even shares his two other friends with him!��

He’s been in this world for what feels like so long trying to make friends and he’s made three in just a month! And they even know how to properly play and wrestle without targeting Teekl like a certain order lord who he doesn’t like. 

Oh! Hey it’s the justice league kiddy-crew! Were they feeling neglected or something?

Okay, so my experience with Stranger Things is a weird one.

I didn't care when it first came out, started to watch it out of "might as well" in 2020, wasn't interested in it enough to make it past S2, forgot about it outside of going "oh, hey, cool, there's a lesbian in it now, I guess," in S3, got really annoyed when "Running Up That Hill" got popular from it because it was a song I listened to on fucking loop after one of my best friends died in high school and I fully expected its appearance in the show to ignore the whole survivor's guilt theme of the song (and was very happy to learn later that it did the exact opposite of ignoring the lyrics), saw people drawing Eddie, suddenly got a lot more interested, watched just the fourth season like a fucking psychopath because I was seriously only there for Eddie, then got interested enough to start the show over properly, having mostly forgotten what I did watch of the show before.

And let me tell you something from the perspective of someone who started with the complete fourth season, who wasn't there from the start, who wasn't tainted by ship goggles or this internal battle of hope and despair, who wasn't theorizing about what the painting could be or expecting Mike and Will to kiss when Volume 2 happened or rooting for Mike and Eleven's relationship to go down in flames or whatever the fuck. Just someone who went blind into Season 4.

It's really fucking obvious that Will and Mike are gonna be endgame.

Like holy fuck. It's so fucking blatant I don't even know why people are nervous.

No sane fucking person would shoot this scene this way if they wanted the audience to care about El and Mike as a couple. Despite being all blurry in the background, Will's reaction to what's happening here is smackdab in the fucking middle, clearly showing that the important part is what's going through his head here. What he's feeling. It's like the opposite of that scene from Kingdom Hearts II where Sora and Riku reunite and Kairi just fucking vanishes into the aether while it's happening because, despite the fact that she was standing between them when the scene began, she doesn't matter to the scene, so she's just kind of gone when the camera angle changes. Will could have been behind one of their heads, or so far in the distance he blends in with the background, but he's not. He's so obvious that despite being massively blurred out, he's still the first goddamn thing you look at. What, you think that's an accident? You think he's in the middle of this dramatic fucking scene because of a mistake? He basically has a big flashing neon arrow pointing at him with "THIS IS THE POINT" being screamed through a megaphone.

And then this?

They're paired up like they're taking fucking prom pictures. Each one of these pairs is so fucking close to one another and so fucking far from everyone else. It's not, "Oh, they're standing vaguely near each other in a group shot," it's fucking Noah's Ark out here. Again, there's no way to take this as an accident. It's not just a framing issue. If they wanted to make the shot look balanced while still not hiding anyone else behind El, they would have scattered people around much more naturally. Even if they wanted to keep Nancy with Jonathan and Hopper with Joyce, there's so much room on that hill for three people to stand on El's left and three on her right. But they didn't do that. They put Mike and Will together on purpose in the most obvious way possible.

Like I get that coming up with crackpot theories is fun in and of itself and I'm not blaming anyone for having fun. I totally get the appeal of arguing a point and reaching for every stupid little thing to pull into it because it's like a game, okay? I've done that. But if you're trying to actually convince someone (whether it's someone who wants to believe or someone who's pissed at the very idea that Mike and Will could be in love), stay away from blue and yellow lights, stay away from costume design, stay away from the existence of closets in backgrounds. And don't worry about whether Mike's gay or bi when he's in love with Will either way. I'll give you a little tip about persuasion: You're only as strong as your weakest argument. Even if you've got strong stuff in there, too, the person you're trying to convince is going to dismiss anything you say as complete insanity the second you start going on an entire tangent about the shape of a character's fucking pocket.

Sometimes, clothes are just clothes. Sometimes, there's a closet in the background because it helps establish that a character is in a bedroom. Sometimes, blue and yellow are just a couple of colors that look nice together. And sure, it might be set designers and costume designers and cinematographers smirking and winking at the audience from behind the camera. But if the show was just those things, instead of those things in the context of everything else, they wouldn't be saying anything of note.

But this?

This tells a story all on its own. Someone with no context can look at this and automatically assume that each paired person is standing with someone they care about deeply, seeking comfort as they watch some sort of disaster unfold. And yeah, romantic couples usually come in twos, and we live in an amatonormative society, so that's going to be the first association anyone makes seeing a bunch of people paired off.

It's the same reason you look at this

And go, "Oh..."

"Those two are probably a couple."

And I genuinely don't understand how people could have watched S4 Vol. 2 and gotten scared. Because as someone who went in with no investment whatsoever, I just looked at these two--

--and went, "Oh, those two are a couple. Good for them." And I moved on. Shut up about the trees for five seconds and just see the forest for what it is.

Oh, and if you're still nervous? Little thing from a storyteller here: You don't leave a hanging thread like "Will confessed his romantic feelings for Mike by projecting them onto El, but Mike either didn't understand or at least didn't say he understood," without coming back to that later. That's Chekov's gun hanging on the wall, babes. It's gonna fire at some point. If Mike was going to reject Will's feelings, if they weren't relevant, they would have had that discussion in Argyle's van. There'd be no reason to leave you in suspense.

dabi, who had a one night stand with his best-friend-turned-semi-lover before he left to become a villain. (he left when he was a little older, about 17-18 years old, when he started becoming disenchanted with hero society).

he sees you like 5 years later with a little kid that he thinks is another of his younger siblings that he never knew about because it looks so much like him.

but then he hears the kid call you mom and his heart shatters. he probably thinks you left him for natsuo or something and then he gets angry and jealous and bitter. and his thoughts keep progressing and he thinks, oh god, what if you left him for his dad?! and he thinks about approaching you to explain how you could move on just like that, but thinks better of it because what would you think about how different he looks? he doesn't think he'll be able to handle your reaction.

but then the kid sees him and his eyes widen, but he's not crying or screaming, which is a first for dabi? and dabi is kind of too shocked to move and he hears the kid say, "mama, look at that man! he looks funny." and dabi's heart kind of skips a beat, but then he hears your voice, which has barely changed, tell the kid, "what have i told you about staring at other people, baby?" and the kid mutters a response and you reply, "that's right, it's rude. now go find that cereal you like-" and at that moment you decide to take a peek at the man your son was talking about, because you're nothing if not nosy. BUT when you look up at dabi, he's still standing there, distracted by your pretty eyes and a look of realization crosses your face and it takes dabi a moment to even react.

"touya?" you say, and it takes dabi another moment to realise she's talking to him. and dabi realises he's still fucked because he's obviously still In Love with this person.

I DID IT😭

Thank you to everyone who booped me back. It was fun :D

[grievedifferent]

she's here, just like her text said she'd be. he isn't sure why he's surprised. it's been a rough year, arguably for everyone. no surprise he's taken what he's called "leaves of absence" from the group. i can't tell them where i've really been. they wouldn't get it.

josh coughs into the back of his wrist, idling awkwardly at the door of the main residence of the washington estate, waiting to let @quietlyblooms in. they haven't really ... talked in a while. he wants to apologize for that.

besides, he's invited her over for a reason. she's not the type to accept the sort of offer he has to lay out for her via text like jess, em, or even mike. no, this is one to do in person. she won't hear him out any other way.

❝ hey, uh, yeah. yeah. come in, come in. ❞

I just realized that Dean puts the whoopee cushion under Cas's butt on the chair to prank him in episode 5x06. The little human pranks an Angel of the Lord with a fucking cushion that makes fart noises after having known him for just over a year.

It has been just a few episodes since Cas rebelled for him and he already treats him like his brother, like he is family.

I'm totally normal about it, I'm totally normal about them.

i think part of what makes so many people just flock to dungeon meshi as well is that it's also a story involving an autistic main character, who actually IS the main character

Because many stories will have an autistic character in them and then the story is more about how all the neurotypical people AROUND the autistic character deal with the characters autism, and the autistic character ends up as a side-character in a story that's supposed to be ABOUT them.

But in dungeon meshi, Laios especially is so much the main character! And i know he's not the only one, and not the only autistic character obv, and i know the story isn't about just him alone OR his autism...

But we get Laios' perspective. On just about everything. The story is, in the roughest terms, about the party venturing into the dungeon in order to save Falin, who got eaten by the red dragon. They're on a time constraint and have no money or equipment except what they literally have on their backs. That's the story.

Another author, a worse author, probably wouldn't have made Laios the party leader. A worse author would've relegated Laios to the "weird, awkward newbie who's excited about monsters but doesn't have the slightest clue or experience with them" who's job would've been to cite fun facts about whatever monster they encounter from some book he carries around, and the main interactions between him and the party would've been them yelling at him or calling him weird, to the point where you're wondering what this characters purpose even is in the story beyond comic relief.

And I'm so glad we didn't get this.

Instead of a story that emphasizes how "weird and unlikable" this weird character is, we get Laios being the partys leader, who, yes, is weird, but also competent and knowledgable and skilled and also is still a full character, with thoughts and feelings of his own, who actually speaks his mind and interacts with others on equal footing, who defends himself when he KNOWS he isn't in the wrong.

Laios and Shuros confrontation is both shocking, and also a huge breath of fresh air.

(Also, i know that "Shuro" isn't his real name but i can't remember his real name and I can't be bothered to look it up rn)

Shuro tells Laios to learn to read the room. A worse author would've had Laios apologize to Shuro for his own incompetence, but instead of meekly accepting that accusation, Laios throws it back in Shuros own face. That Shuro should've just been direct and honest with Laios when he KNEW that Laios wasn't getting it, instead of just playing along and letting that resentment fester.

And Laios is not only shouting it out, speaking his mind, and refusing to be treated as lesser than anyone else just because he can't "read the room", but he's also portrayed as RIGHT! Shuro would've have had to put up with Laios, whom he didn't like, but whom he let believe that they were friends, if he had just TOLD Laios he didn't like him DIRECTLY.

and look, i know that there's some hints or pages or whatever you wanna call them, that Shuro is also autistic, but comes with a different background, which basically just makes him and Laios incompatible in a certain sense.

But even with all that, Shuro still had no right to fault Laios for his shortcomings, when his own shortcomings played just as much of a role in their eventual confrontation. And the difference? Shuro KNEW how he himself AND Laios felt, but Laios only knew how he himself felt. Shuro was at an advantage in their situation, and he still faulted Laios and made him out to be this villain, who was purposely trying to make Shuro miserable, when Shuro himself NEVER opened his mouth to correct Laios!

And the thing is, Shuro isn't in the wrong for not liking Laios. Shuro is in the wrong for blowing up at Laios without EVER even giving him the chance to correct his behaviour!

And Laios KNOWS this, and he REFUSES to just apologize for something that wasn't even his fault! How could he possibly have known Shuro didn't like him, when Shuro never gave him any kind of indication of that fact?

And that's just it, isn't it?

Because I know I've experienced this kind of situation, even if exact memories don't come to mind, and I know other autistic or otherwise neurodivergent people have experienced this kind of thing. Of someone whom they were just having a normal conversation with or whom they considered a friend, just randomly blowing up at them for no conceivable reason. From our perspective, the other person just randomly decided they didn't like us anymore, didn't care about us anymore and wanted to be rid of us, or decided we were suddenly just evil, and they got mad at us, yelled at us, called us names, and then just left. And we're left confused and sad and, having no other information to go off of, because none was given to us, are bound to come to the conclusion that there's something wrong with us. We're just not likeable and any kindness from other people coming our way is just them being too polite to say anything until they've decided they had enough of us and abandon us. Because they never liked us. They were just too polite to say anything until they couldn't take us anymore.

I love Komi-san can't communicate but so much, that I would like to make an OC for this anime(manga), But, this Oc will be the son of two Koreans who moved to Japan... And these two Koreans are... Yeonwoo and Kang Haesol from Yeonwoo's innocence!! 😄😄 I love them Very much! And I thought, about them moving to Japan, to have a peaceful life. (And my Oc, he has an older sister and he also got his appearance from his father but with eyes and hair color from his mother :3. They (the children) have a godfather and godmother, who are Im Nari and Nam Junhyuk (they are married in this AU :D), and also a aunt and uncle(Jinwoo with Yeseul :3). I don't know how to draw unfortunately, if I knew I would draw my Oc and his older sister :(.

Oh yes, and I also forgot to mention, Yeonwoo will be 170cm tall when he grows up, while Haesol will be 180cm tall(yes She is taller YEEES).

But... For those who know about Komi San and Yeonwoo's innocence, could you help me with the children's names, it would be fantastic!

@yeonsols-garden @miityun @lauvyeonwoo

I know you're all busy right now, but I'd love help from you and more people from the Yeonwoo's Innocence Fandom :D

what if westchester was also a part of weirdmageddon (idk if i spelled that right but idc u know what i'm talking about)

[petricorah]

It's pretty early in the morning but I have no one to talk to about it, so I hope you don't mind it, but I just have to get this idea out.

The gaang have a prank war, but Zuko and Sokka make a truce. Sokka thinks the other three have already made truces amongst each other (and they have) so he offers Zuko a truce; Zuko doesn't trust the shifty looks Toph and Katara send him, so he accepts the truce.

Suki joins in as well, and finds out about the truce. Sokka is cautious but open to including her into the truce, Zuko is less so. But Suki accepts and already has a whole plan, they had one too, but hers goes so freaking hard.

I'm in between 'Toph be a menace and would make truces with everyone' and 'Toph is a scourge upon the land all on her own.'

Aw indon't mind at all! I love hearing fun ideas

I think Toph would make truces just to break them like Prank War Crimes

[justaz]

wait. i was just thinking about it and throwback to chapter 13 of the lightning thief. it really didn’t make sense to me that zeus would send echidna after percy while percy was on a quest to retrieve his master bolt but i had just brushed it off on zeus being Like That. but now that i’m thinking back on it, percy never specified who medusas head was supposed to go to, he just wrote “the gods” and given that zeus is king of the gods it makes sense for the package to go to him yknow? so if the package did go to zeus and he pulled out medusas head and saw “with best wishes, percy jackson” obviously he’s gonna be miffed. since he can’t kill percy directly as he’s on a quest and his brothers child, it makes sense that he would just nudge one of the worst monsters in his direction.

anyways, my headcanon/theory:

zeus sent echidna after percy because percy sent medusas head to olympus and zeus opened it

[dark-elf-writes]

so magical world is gonna get a really rude ghost Phoenix who throw middle finger at people huh

No one is entirely sure how a bird manages to flip the bird but somehow Harry’s patronus manages

Back in high school, a teacher once told us about a past senior prank. A group of students took a Frisch's big boy statue from a restaurant down the street and put it in the school courtyard.

Well, my senior peers wouldn't let us be beat. So for our senior pranks, everyone just stopped showing up for the last couple months of school.

Truly, no one can beat the class of 2020's senior prank

[kellyscowboy]

Ok so like, the newsies one day a year have an annual prank battle. Whoever has the dirtiest prank out of them all is the victor, and is crowned king of pranks.

I rest my case.

omg im so sorry im just responding to this, i've been so busy :')

i 100% agree except i feel like it starts as 'a day' & slowly like... gets worse. like no way they just let it stay as a day. it usually lasts a week or two (and lets NOT mention the time it last a month and a half)

also they definitely don't tell david, and he is definitely very confused for a couple of days until someone finally explains whats going on to him
