Definitely not a new concept but I propose: Sciles dressing up as Captain America and Winter Soldier for Halloween.
also, a more casual option:
#teen wolf#teen wolf fanart#sciles#scott mccall#stiles stilinski#scott x stiles#stiles x scott#fan art#my fan art#can you tell I drew scott first and then had lost the will to live by the time I got to stiles#I am never drawing superhero/villain costumes again#never again#I was going to draw them as spiderman and deadpool but changed my mind#I still might tbf#and then I really will lose the will to live#but they just fit the roles of steve and bucky so well#like scott and steve have very similar morals and logic and kindness#and void stiles = winter soldier brainwashing#and the way that stiles probably had to protect scott pre-bite but then all of a sudden scott’s the one protecting him#like pre-serum steve#I know there are probably a million fics of that au and I need to read them#also if any of the colouring is off it’s because I drew most of them with the nightlight tone on#which was very stupid of me

Insane over the awakening trio again. We fought a war together, saved each other multiple times, and I know for a fact I can trust you with my life. We have never learned to socialize normally so we can't interact in a normal environment for five seconds without dunking on each other. I would follow you through time and space and abandon everything with you. You are the living reminder of every awful thing that have ever happened to me. Our traumas make us hurt each other at every turn. We're the only ones who know what lead to each other becoming Like That. Our jobs are barely in the same area and we don't even hang out that much outside of necessities. You are all I have left. I cannot fucking understand you. I am the only one in this entire world who has the ability to even try to.

thank you so much for posting abt your experience with getting reduction, because it’s made it a lot less scary of a concept to me. i have a lot of paid and discomfort caused by my chest but surgery of any kind is terrifying to me- seeing your joy and honesty about your reduction gives me a lot of hope for my own future. thank you for sharing :)
I'm glad it's relieving some of your anxiety about it!!! tbh I was shot back in time knowing what I know now, I'd go into surgery again feeling a lot more confident. If I knew that the healing would be so manageable, I coulda saved myself a lot of stress LMAO
#it's impossible not to feel scared abt surgery. you're getting into a knife fight on purpose#but I'm wishing you luck and it's good to hear that reading abt my experience is easing *some* of the worry!!#I was so worried about pain and about healing right and the shape and the look and sleeping and meowmehwmewowow#I was a 2-3 on the pain scale by the end of week 1 and footloose and fancy free by the time I hit a month#I can only hope it's the same for you!!!#THE PART THAT SUCKED THE WORST OF ALL. were the two weeks pre-op that I couldn't have ibuprofen or caffeine.#hey! guess what I take for a migraine.#guess what substances.#that was probably worse than my post-op pain.#sergle answers

Top 10 Sexiest Mutants
but I'm gay so it's only the guys
Honorable Mention: Kobak Never-Held
I'm not really into porcupines or whatever he's supposed to be, but he has a nice ass and that's all that really matters.
#10: That one Betsy Braddock variant who has a beard
Okay I know this one's kind of a stretch but I always get excited to see this guy in the background when the Captain Britain corps shows up. If Betsy is a mutant her variants would be too, right? So this counts?
#9: Wolverine (Logan Howlett)
Pretty basic, I know, but he's popular for a reason and that reason is that he's sexy.
#8: Forge
Mustache <3
#7: Sabretooth
I'm pretty sure he was my first crush as a kid lol. And as stupid as it looks the Corsair cosplay here is really doing it for me somehow.
#6: Manifold
I'm usually not into yellow for clothing but he manages to make it look good, and I love a character who has a signature color.
#5: Nightcrawler (with the horns, from Legion of X)
He's a sexy little demon man :)
#3 (tie): Magneto & Fisher King
I'm not the only one who kind of ships them, right? Like, there's something there.
#2: Jon Ironfire (as seen in Sins of Sinister)
It's a shame this version of him is from a timeline that no longer exists, because he's sooooo cool. He's got sick horns and a huge beard and he's missing an eye and he can turn his blood into metal, like come on.
#1: Colossus (in his 2022 Hellfire Gala outfit)
Obviously. I'm still mad they came up with this amazing design and then he was in the background of like 3 panels throughout the entire event and that was it.
#i feel bad for not including sunspot but as you can probably tell i have a very specific type and he isn't it#he is objectively the sexiest mutant though (tied with emma frost obviously)#also this is incredibly biased towards recent stuff because i still haven't gotten around to reading much pre-krakoa stuff#x-men#comic books#marvel#kobak never-held#betsy braddock#(kind of? technically?)#wolverine#logan howlett#forge#sabretooth#manifold#eden fesi#nightcrawler#magneto#fisher king#jon ironfire#colossus#piotr rasputin#x-men red#legion of x

Oh ok. I get now why a lot of people didn't vibe with the ending.
All and all: excellent manga, overall very good final act, too rushed final 2-3 chapters but weak and honestly mediocre epilogue, which makes the high of the ending kind of leave a bitter taste. I think Noda had a good steed and suddenly he had to finish and had to rush all. So the ending in the sense of the final arc was good but the ending proper (final couple chapters) + epilogue......... Not so much
#i liked rhe ending (though made the mistake to read comments so now I'm like 'yeah you are right that did not make sense' when on my own i#probably would not have noticed. but ok. I'll work my suspension of disbelief. HOWEVER the epilogue WAS indeed very lackluster#i get it's an epilogue but it was so rushed. we barely get a closure for ume and saichi and tanigaki did not get to#take asirpa back to uci as he should have (though he was instrumental for that). overall it was super rushed#like we did not even see how Sugimoto was rescued. the epilogue was faaaar too rushed tbh and also too vague in parts#siraishi not really saying goodbye.... also sugimoto and asirpa living together that's cute idc and i think the line into nastyness was not#crossed but oh boy is it a thin thread... i still choose to believe they are platonic soulmates lol but i want to see an official#translation of the volume that's all i say. what else... oh yes. the way the gold never got to actually be distributed doesn't sit right#with me at all but the worst part was definitely the sugimoto/ume thing oh god that was BAD#we did get to see osoma which was cute#OH AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON VASILY??? We didn't even see him. the epoligue for him in particular was great though but his ending was not#like he just hanged around ogata gor chapters and chapters on end and we don't even get a glimpse of him during the final showdown??#tbh i think noda wanted to do something more with him but realized he did not quite fit into the story and in the end got#caught up with all the main lines he did have to close and he obviously had planned and probably combined with his own exhaustion well#did not go nice for vasily! i also would have liked a more proper epilogue for tsukishima and koito. they deserved it#I don't like how pre-epilogue the tsukishima-tsurumi-koito tension seems to reach a breaking point only to kind of not get resolved because#they have to keep fighting lol.#laura reads#also i get the sentiment of the ending regarding the ainu and i think noda did his best but it seems like a rather soft thing for asirpa to#do like... sure. museums and stuff. i GET it but it goes a little too soft in the actual colonialism that went on from the japanese. i feel#noda starts off fairly critical of that but in the end softens his stance which is a shame but ok. the bar is in hell so this is actually#much better than average from what i can personally gather of my little knowledge#golden kamuy#gk spoilers

Still turning Wicked around in my head.
Rotating it in the tumbler.
Debating writing something with it but like. Not quite there.
There's a couple of moments that scream to me.
Not sure my grasp of the characters is strong enough and like it....
It's Wicked, with its huge fandom, and it's....
I want to make sure I have the grasp on the characters I want before getting into it.
#musings#bandit#bandit brainstorms#wicked as a fandom in terms of posting is not as intimidating as posting in danganronpa was#the first time with oh worm and again when i started posting oaei#wicked isn't intimidating but like#i feel like there is a very set way people expect the characters to be written#with regards to the musical#(i don't think i'm expected to have read the book which is nice)#but i'm contemplating it#alongside#scapegoat fic#because junko in scapegoat is glinda#and i think junko pre-tragedy in terms of how she portrays herself will probably take from glinda#if she hasn't already been#i think they have a LOT alike#glinda's an airhead and petty and she is THAT GIRL#but she's also...smarter than she lets on i think#she's crafted a persona that makes her popular because life is a popularity contest#and if you can charm the shit out of people they'll do what you want#and she can pull it off#glinda is INCREDIBLY smart when it comes to CONTROLLING PEOPLE#and elphie just reached and said 'here i'm going to give you a heart and now you're going to have to live with that'#glinda is tempered by elphaba#WILLINGLY tempered - that's the point of the dance scene#glinda couldn't manipulate or bitch or petty elphaba into helping her#elphaba helped because glinda literally did 1 nice thing for her and her sister#and glinda didn't even mean to be nice!#and she could have continued to use that to her advantage and she DIDN'T#she CHOSE not to

GRE today…..
#456 words#it’s optional for most things I’m applying to but. my grades are not amazing for the level I’m applying#so in my case taking the gre is a good idea if I can do really well#which#¯\_(ツ)_/¯#we will see#I did a practice test and sone practice problems and such and I do fine#but I would like a higher percentile in quantitative than my practices have projected#hopefully having practiced and being in a proper test environment will help push it up a few more points#also it’s like. 50/50 rn on whether I can finish the essay in 30 mins#ive gotten it closer each time I practice but#woof. hard to cleanly articulate a point you don’t know ahead of time in 30 mins#but yeah ideally I do well enough that I can send scores and they will help rather than harm#that’s all I ask. I could maybe take it again but would rather not have to spend another 250#we shall see#at least it’s not the time I took the mcat w only 2 weeks prep#and its also not the mcat#mcat has No fucking reason to be that long#that’s not a cognitive test or a content test it is an endurance test#I know gre used to be longer (like 4 hours?????) but. still#mcat was like 7 iirc#GRE is 2 hours which is a normal fucking amount of time for a test methinks#though ngl it’s a bitch that the hardest sections are at the end#well I guess that’s. a good sign actually????#bc iirc it modulates what you get on the last two sections based on your earlier performance#so the fact it gets harder means I’m doing well early on#but still………..#anyway I’m rambling#pre test thoughts I guess#don’t expect anyone to read this really and if you did sorry this is. probably entirely uninteresting

Flipping Legacies, middle/end part of Chapter 8, yes this is out of order shush
Snacks are churros grabbed from a street vendor, mostly because they smelled divine while passing by. Natasha grabs enough for six, plus a few extra. Between the super soldiers, the immortals, and the growing children, someone will eat them, she’s sure.
Arms full of churros, she lets herself into the apartment and holds the door open for Nightwing. Drakov’s head pops up from the breakfast nook at the second set of footsteps.
“Drakov, Nightwing,” Natasha introduces shortly. “Nightwing, one of my first trainers and the only one left alive, Drakov, also known as the Winter Soldier or Bucky Barnes.”
Nightwing slows for a second and visibly winces. “...how is Captain America taking that?”
“Mm,” Natasha hums with a mouthful of churro, passing a bag to Drakov.
“Badly,” Drakov says dryly.
“He doesn’t know Drakov is here right now,” Natasha says.
Clint exits the bathroom and works his way down the hall. About halfway down the hall, he registers the vigilante that doesn’t live there and starts grinning.
Natasha raises an eyebrow.
Nightwing catches the look and turns around. Natasha edges her way around because she desperately wants to catch this entire interaction.
Sue her. She’s a spy. Nosy is literally her job description.
Nightwing beams. It’s the only proper word for it.
Clint launches himself at the vigilante, and what follows can only be described as a casual roughhouse. It’d be deadly for most anyone else facing either of them. It’s fast, full strength, and utterly silent.
They break apart as fast as they started, grinning, neither out of breath. They’re both grinning like loons.
“Churro?” Nightwing offers.
“Fuck yes,” Clint says.
This is a normal interaction. Alright. Natasha is not asking.
“I gotta know,” Drakov says, amused. “How long have you two known each other?”
Clint smirks, a bit. Oh. Oh no. Bozhe moy.
“Your call, my dude,” Clint says. “I’m not the one with a secret identity.”
Natasha honestly forgot that no one but her and JARVIS had put everything together to then threaten Batman in the daytime.
“I’ve known him,” Nightwing says, with a deliberateness that speaks volumes, “for longer than Batman’s had Robin.”
Natasha very carefully does not choke. Clint does.
She pounds him on the back while watching Drakov, whose eyebrows have nearly hit his hairline.
“You do realize that you can’t be saying that to just anyone, right?” Drakov says.
“He was trained by Batman,” Natasha says dryly. “I’m pretty sure that’s a challenge to say, come discover my secret identity, I dare you.”
Nightwing laughs. “If Clint reported my involvement with his mission, I’ll eat Batman’s cowl after a bad night.”
“Of course I fucking didn’t,” Clint coughed out. “I would have been laughed right back into jail if I reported a fucking nine year old doing anything but flips on a trampoline.”
Natasha exchanges a look of resigned horror with Drakov. Her own words from the previous morning haunt her: Imagine if Clint couldn’t turn off the assassin like us. So lethal, so graceful, so talented, so obvious. So ripe for HYDRA’s picking, way back in 1996. Imagine if Clint didn’t have Coulson as a handler, who was notorious for going back for his agents no matter what and had the Director of SHIELD’s ear.
Coulson would have believed Clint. Which meant Coulson was not his handler.
Oops. Agent Barton had a tragic accident on a mission. We have to bury an empty casket, her own words echo back at her again.
“Where was your handler.” The words basically fall out of her mouth without permission.
Clint does a double take at her. She doesn’t know what she looks like, but based on the fact that she’s swiftly relieved of everything she might drop, she must look like she’s about to pass out.
“I ditched him,” Clint admits, grabbing her by the shoulders and shoving her into a chair. “Considering I later wound up killing the guy they sent me to protect, I’m okay with that mark on my record. Unfortunate failure is better than intentional sabotage.”
That old Winter Soldier has had his fun, but he’s a little too feisty.
Nightwing quirks a smile at her. It looks rueful. “However bad you think it is, I can guarantee it was worse.”
“Dick,” Clint hisses. Natasha knows it’s his name. It’s said as an insult.
Natasha buries her head in her arms. “How close did you come to being serumed up and brainwashed into doing some shadowy underground totalitarian government’s bidding?”
Nightwing rocks back on his heels. “Actually, you’re right on the money. How did you do that?”
Natasha pops her head up so fast her eyesight can’t compensate. “You. Don’t talk.”
She grabs Clint. “Where the fuck was Coulson, and why didn’t you refuse a handler that would deliberately fail to catch you?”
Clint looks like he’s doing complicated math in his head and he’s losing track of the numbers. “I’m definitely missing something,” he finally says.
“She’s talking about the fact that if the Black Widow was willing to run with a normal human, and have the normal human not be dead weight, then the normal human would be utterly spectacular as a super soldier,” Drakov says levelly.
He’s just. Like. Us. But he’d be better if he was serumed up and had all five senses fully working.
Clint and Nightwing exchange a glance. She knows that glance. That’s a, wow, shit was even more fucked than I originally thought it was glance.
“Oh my god,” she says faintly.
“It’s a long story,” Clint admits. “And not one we really have time for, or, uh. Patience. On the plus side, we killed them, their undead serumed monsters, their bosses, and like ninety-five percent of the underlings, too, so unless they reinvent the wheel--”
“They did,” Nightwing says.
“—we’ll be—I’m sorry, what was that?”
“They did.”
“What?”
“They revived the Court of Owls,” Nightwing says patiently. “And Batman and I took care of them. Again.”
“Oh, well--”
“And so did Robin, again.”
Natasha looks at Drakov despairingly.
Clint opens his mouth and shuts it. He looks at the ceiling and mutters something Natasha doesn’t quite catch, but makes Drakov snort.
Nightwing has a smile on his face that’s a threat. It lingers in the corners of his mouth, around the edges of his domino. It’s a smile that Coulson would be envious of. “Gotham’s a little...much for the Mainlanders. But Clint’s welcome to run with the Bats anytime. Birds of a feather flock together, right? Especially the ones that get stalked to be brainwashed assassins.”
Natasha puts her head back onto the table and gives quiet thanks that even Hydra wasn’t willing to fuck around with Gotham’s brand of crazy.
She pushes back from the table and stands up. “You crazy kids have fun. Drakov, don’t enable them. I’m going for a run.”
“Bye!” Nightwing calls after her. “Don’t forget a rebreather!”
She shakes one as she escapes out the door in response. Get her out of here. Now.
#flipping legacies#natasha romanoff#jason todd#bucky barnes#clint barton#trying to nail down nightwing's voice right now#it's hard tbqh#like he's right up there with damian#i can do bruce and alfred and jason and tim#but dick? damian? like i know that they're more than cheerful and cranky respectively but i just don't have a proper voice for them yet#working on it though#ik damian has a SAVAGE sense of humor but that was also AFTER he started being Robin and we are currently. pre-Robin by a substantial amoun#also I am working on reading some of the first batman comics that introduce robin and shits wild man#i'm going to have so much fun writing that story#please if you're reading this and you have Important Nightwing Characterization please tag me in posts because uhh#there are a LOT of comics and I can't read them all at once unfortunately so I'll probably miss a lot

So I may or may not have spent a good chunk of my day trying to learn how to look into onis code and while I may not have yet succeeded I will likely keep fucking around with shit tomorrow and if I manage to succeed it'll spell great doom for my sanity as oni becomes the interest I've officially poured the most effort into analyzing
#rat rambles#oni posting#for now I must sleep but hopefully tomorrow Ill figure out how to decompile files#the real question is going to be if Ill be able to do this on my shitty ass laptop or if Ill need to figure smth else out#I just want to be able to view stuff so ideally it won't make my laptop chug too bad but rly Im more worried abt space#I might have to try to do some cleanup and delete some shit maybe Ill go scan through the shit that came pre installed#and hey maybe if I can get this to work I can go mega hacker mode and tweak some stuff for funsies#probably wont since I don't wanna break my game and I dont trust myself but yknow#itd probably help if I actually retained any information from the Two programing classes I took when I was younger but alas#one of them was even specifically a video game programming class and lemme tell you I remember absolutely nothing#also from what little I was able to view without fancy applications I have no new info but I can finally fully put jean in the we 100% know#their last name zone cause while we definitely already 100% did Technically we only got jea- for first name confirmation#but theyre referred to as jean in a note in a bio bot story traits file ty whoever added the notes there#god I hope theres other notes in the files I want to read those so bad#btw this was all spurred by that one nails log that disappeared cause I have found a file that looks like it but I cant fully view it#and I desperately need to view it I need to view it#also if I can look in the code then in theory itll make copying down all the lore logs easier#also the datamining thread of the forums hasnt been particularly active so who knows maybe I can become a proper dataminer#(<- will not do that probably unless it turns out to be easier than I thought)#but admittedly I am interested in hunting for potential future update content even if I probably won't hunt too hard for it#again Im mostly just hunting for lore#hey maybe if Im lucky Ill find some genuinely new and usable information in that department#maybe the secrets of b363 and dr. holland lie in the files ooooo (they probably dont)#man it'd be nice if I had a proper pc itd make my life so much easier and my desk feel less enpty lol#in a world where I get to play videogames at a higher framerate than 10fps#I mean we do have some older computers laying around the house although theyre probably also crusty pieces of shit#idk maybe I can see if I can salvage one itd be nice to have a proper computer to fuck about with#Im sure my mom wouldn't mind as long as its one that hasnt been touched in years#which tbf I dont know how many options thatd leave me but we at least have one computer that could theoretically be usable#albiet its definitely packed with viruses from me and my siblings being dumb kids

another tgcf book comes out soon so it's once again time to send in a suggestion to the collection development department, who work in my building and know me, like hiiiii time for you to order gay chinese smut for me again thanks :)
#librarianposting#they pre-ordered the special edition of book 8 when i sent for book 7 i feel loved#also for non library followers you can probably suggest a purchase for a book your library doesn't have if you want to read it#very handy for when they forget to order your silly little danmei books

nellie the biologist and keiko oh i’m there with u…. now i have to read sourdough
sourdough is a very good book but i will warn you that lois is a much more likable and mentally stable character than nellie, the biologist, and keiko! still i cannot recommend the book enough, let me know what you think when you read it!
#<3#the book is all about food culture & where it intersects with community identity history myth art technology etc#it also launched my sourdough baking phase in high school (pre-covid btw i was ahead of the curve on that one)#& my fascination with the science behind fermentation & microbiomes#idk if anyone remembers what i said about the movie the menu but i thought the commentary on modern food culture#was out of touch & contrived - this is the exact opposite imo#it's very in touch with innovation within the world of culinary arts & directly alludes to historical movements within that field#as well as other significant movements in food history/innovation while being a forward thinking piece of speculative fiction#about the future of food technology !#it's an apt & grounded commentary that balances the possibilities of the future with the importance of the past#& necessary caution about the human ego when it comes to interfering with natural processes etc#but on a character level i think it's a very joyful optimistic exploratory book! & i love that about lois#anyway i've probably read it at least 8 times lol & i think it's time for a reread#it's a perfect summer book to me#something about robin sloan is that you can tell he had fun writing his books & that makes them fun to read

Childhood. which i remember but also it's spotty. comes largely in assorted memories & me being like 'wow thats fucked up'#Teenage Time. bad relationship etc etc yea it fucked me UP. doing a lot better nowadays but it still permanently altered my brain. like ok#... cat thing. which is probably the most classic sense of ptsd if you consider how i reacted to tally having a bloody poop lmaooo#plus Sudden Death is a stated semi-common ptsd cause. so it. makes sense.#& honestly id probably count covid as a source too. a bit more iffy since it's less personalized. but Man#im definitely somehow even more neurotic now than i was pre-covid so like. that sure says smth.#am i oversharing rn? probably. but it's vague enough so whateverrr#ur following me on the Trauma Sharing Website so if youve read this far that's on u#anyways yea i guess i probably do have ptsd. whoooopssss#still not gonna do anything about it. i dont got time for taking care of my mental health lmaoo
