Fuck you mean Cars: Lightning Racers. I mean I guess I should've known that the new Cars Land would've been accompanied by SOMETHING but I figured the theme was going to be just some random thing like all the random diecast series that they have. Uhm. WHY WAS ONE OF THE RETURNING CHARACTERS CHICK HICKS I. That sure was a weird way to spell Michael Keaton!!(So sorry Bob Peterson you just don't do him justice for me). Okay I like- no- LOVE the old Cars games of Chick fucking around in Radiator Springs it's really funny to me and everyone letting him be there in the first place as long as he doesn't be too much of an ass is also really funny but now that they've given him this 'redemption' sort of thing with being a show host on RSN I. I wasn't crazy over his characutiziation in Cars 3. I mean it wasn't so awful I can't stand it or anything and I feel like it could've worked but they gave him some loser-character vibes which. DONT GET ME WRONG. I absolutely love some loser characters. Just. Chick wasn't one of them. Now that I think about it I suppose I'm not horrribbllyyy surprised he was picked as the comeback character because he normally is in all of the video games and even dorky mobile ones and he was literally the comeback character of Cars 3 uhm. I am also super super squinting at them you have so much potential for giving them off-road designs you have done wonderfully before in the past if they do off reading.

Uhm. I guess it has been way longer than i realized but I am a little surprised that they are just leaving(?) Cars On The Road? What's up with that? Or are they going to be trying to sprinkle it in occasionally? I'm just a bit surprised cause they teased about giving it several seasons if it did well. Uhm. <- remembers that it flopped okay yeah nevermind.

I am also really surprised that it's gonna be a whole show on Disney Jr. Which now I wonder if they're gonna play with the art style at all. Hrm. I mean it's set for 2027 so i.. got time excluding any other trailers or bits they may release in between. Uhm. Hey whyd you introduce a second character named Miles there should be a big chalkboard with names you cross ou

its that fanciful romanticistic day yet again so JIGZENI HEADCANONS be upon ye (in no particular order of importance or seriousness)💥💥💥

- zenigata is jig’s type. gotta get that outta the way first lmao

- favorite fic tropes: reluctant partners, wound dressing, cigarette lighting, slow burn, frenemies with benefits 

- and ok as much as id love this dark noir grizzled detective/hitman mobguy romance love/hate situationship whatever they're probably on the heathier end of the 10 possible lupin ships. they're both just too fucking honest and awkward about romantic sorta stuff yknow

- they both like really black coffee. like nasty "how tf can you drink this its literal tar" black

- zenigata runs hot, jigen runs cold-- obligatory "opposites attract" dynamic

- they both overthink things and small, awkward, semi-flirty situations haunt them for hours. they've brushed knuckles accidentally at a bar once i stg. worst day of their lives they still can't stop thinking about it

- really stand-offish around each other in public (virtually no pda outside of things people might not notice; nudging feet under a table, lighting each other's cigarettes (which is practically kissing for these people let's be real), hands brushing when theyre cuffed in the back of a prison van together, etc etc. normal guy shit)

- they feel obligated to not acknowledge each other, essentially. they're not SUPPOSED to acknowledge each other, it'd break the status quo, "why does that inspector that's always on the news suddenly care about his rival’s partner so much" -- people would get suspicious. best to simply not

- but when they're in private they NEED to be near each other at the very least. eyeshot/earshot. tbh this basically boils down to jigen lounging on top of zenigata. see temp boyfriends-- jigen uses that cop like a basking rock lmao

- facial hair... jig probably digs the five-o-clock shadow look but it usually means "bad mood" for zeni. real late nights, real big loss, real bad scolding from the higher-ups. lupin's dead for the third time this year and he's at the end of his rope about it. shit like that.

- lupin domesticated the shit outta jigen ok. he's the mother hen now. he knows what it looks like (and feels like) when someone's not taking care of themselves so he does the whole shebang-- cooking, cleaning, making sure everyone's hydrated n fed n not slowly rotting. he scolds lupin (plotting heists spiral) and goemon (training spiral) enough that they know to be more careful, but zenigata doesn't get that sorta constant attention since he's solo most of the time

- what im getting at is that jigen checks in after really rough shit ykno. things that might not hit their side very hard but he knows is devastating for zenigata. makes sure he isnt drinking himself into a gutter, makes sure he's sleeping, makes sure he isnt eating exclusively half-assed cup noodle, makes sure he gets cleaned up/shaved. then when zeni's tentatively grateful and Over It and threatening to arrest him again (in that order) he dips

- I FUCKING LOVE THE PATCHUP TROPE and i blame this fandom exclusively. there's this one jigzeni fic where zenigata admits to practically being the gang's third-pick medic and i really really like that idea. so yeah that mother hen shit goes both ways because thats just how zenigata is innately

- hes super cushy with jigen specifically cause jigen's kinda like when you try to clip a dog's nails when they do NOT want that to happen. theres always the looming threat that shit might get loud. and bitey. aaany moment now. but jigen sucks it up real quick when he sees how big this fuckin guy's hands are and how good he is with them winkwinkwink

- put these two alone together for too long and they'll blurt out shit that they BOTH need to hear but have always been too. idk. nervous? afraid? to say. probably afraid. they hate that it's so easy to talk about what's weighing on them

- mostly intrusive thoughts about lupin, but sometimes it's little stuff. i.e. "i actually don't like black coffee all that much but i can't bring myself to sweeten it up because i feel like i don't deserve it/it doesn't feel like i earned it."

- neither can bring themselves to tell the other that That Doesn't Make Sense and is In(s)ane. they both know it's nonsensical and neurotic but they both feel the same deep deep down, too. they get why. they hate it they HATE that they align on a intuitional level

- but once they break that initial barrier of extremely awkward silence where they just KNOW they're thinking the same thing, they can not and will not shut up about how they're feeling

- don't get me wrong. jigen totally vents to lupin (and to goemon and 10000% to fujiko too) but only zenigata can match that same level of angst he has and that's what makes said venting actually, genuinely, deeply relieving. because fuck, he gets it

- they're a tag team of worry. hype men of worry. there's this one mike birbiglia bit from "old man and the pool" -- can't even enjoy a comedy special without this pairing whacking me upside the head with a two-by-four, smh-- that is apparently jigzeni to me:

- "she's worried, and then because she's worried, i'm worried. we're like an anxious improv group. like... i initiate with a worry. she "yes and..."s the worry with some misgivings. i close out the scene with some neuroses, and then sometimes we have sex, and that's so fun."

- on that note, jigen's Worry is very much internal whereas zenigata's is very much not. this is borderline fascinating to them. "how're you so calm all the time" versus "how're you so hopped up on all this energy all the time". the answer is waiting till 2am to unpack by screaming into a pillow and/or drinking till they zonk out

- they tend to gravitate to certain places for what i guess you would call "noncommittal company"-- ambience, if anything-- and since they tend to be holed up in the same areas random bar encounters happen frequently

- they talk about drinking habits a lot. preferred drinks, cocktails, brands-- they're both big fans of whiskey

- jigen buys them both a bottle of real high-their top-shelf shit after particularly rough yet successful heists (the ones where they team up to take out nazis or whatever the hell) and zenigata (after a lot of convincing) never really turns jigen down when he offers him a glass

- okay so either these two happen slowly over many, many months (with the backdrop of many, many years behind them) or they happen IMMEDIATELY, no unpacking, no real deep thought from either of them. if they don't have that “ah, fuck it” moment then they've got a lot of silent pining to look forward to (which i rant about [here])

- damn i think thats it. im pretty shit at coming up with really cushy slice of life bits lmao, it always devolves into deranged character analysis

- some day i will comprehend the art of cozycomfy 'this is how they like their toast' stuff......some day

Okay my friend has a new obsession with amnesia aus and i think youre the only person who could do this wattpad idea justice so hcs for sodapop (his fav character) getting amnesia?

whyd u sneak diss me like that omg????💔💔💔💔😔😔 /lh

as a disclaimer obviousllyyyyy im not a professional so if i mess up a bit on something just know, hey, i tried, dont kill me💔💔and tell me what i did wrong!! correct me!!!!

OK NOW theres different types of amnesia so for everyones sake, for the need to b different and have a lil fun w this, the ones ill make hcs for is dissociative and post traumatic cause i feel like those r most likely w this guy

dissociative amnesia

•theres different types of dissociative amnesia as well HOWEVER the one i could see soda having is selective, meaning its a loss of SPECIFIC memories related to a particular event/aspect of an event, and u already knowwwww this is the case w the curtis parents’ death, it was just a lot for soda and so he just, forgot it

•selective amnesia can go on from a couple minutes to YEARS, but in sodas case, it was only for a couple days after the fact, maybe almost a week???? it lasted, id say around a week

•the gang kinda knew something was up w soda, cause every morning he would get up all happy and cheerful. the gang thought “hey maybe hes just trying to lift our spirits”, but something would b brought up about their parents and they would have to break it to soda again and again that his parents r dead, theyre not off shopping or going to work early, they died, man. did the gang know it was AMNESIA??? no, nooo they did not, just “simple traumatized forgetfulness” i dont think they know about this type of amnesia😭

•sodas slightly suicidal im ngl to u. its not like he has a plan for it, never got that deep into it, its more of a passing thought “i wish i was with them” type deal. he usually doesnt think like that anymore bc he knows how badly his family needs him but when ponys asleep, it turns into a “what if i did” idea

•idk how to exactly explain this bit but id say the part of what caused such stress for soda that his mind just tried blocking out the whole event was like HOW his parents died. the fact that they died was aready a lot, dont get me wrong, but finding out they were practically mangled by an oncoming train??? yea that’ll do it😭😭he really thought about how messed up theyd b once and that broke him

•he doesnt remember the specific day of finding out his parents died, and everything else around that just feels foggy, he was in a dreamy state for longer than he had the amnesia

post traumatic

•ALRIGHT SO MOST WELL KNOWN TYPE OF AMNESIA!!! how soda got this one??? could b he got hurt at the dx but also getting a head injury during a rumble or while playing football w the gang is COMPLETELY plausible, pick ur posion

•at first everyone thought ��ok well maybe he just hit his head n thats it, just give him ice, hes bounced back from worse” but noticed something was wrong cause he kept asking the same questions, and couldnt answer basic questions about himself when asked

•this would b like the first time they see soda being wholeheartedly annoyed and sick of everyone, the gang would b on him all the time making sure hes safe and i dont think in his current state he would 100% get that. to him theyre just being nosey or dont trust him, so he wants them to back off and have SOME semblance of independence for himself

to give him his space, they could leave lil post it notes for him to follow, everyone can see it so soda doesnt feel as “targeted” or in the spotlight

•hes having a ton of problems trying to fall asleep so thank god he already shares a bedroom w pony, maybe they just stay up together and talk till they both fall asleep. soda also has a tendency to wander so pony helped him yknow, not hurt himself while doing that. really his job was to make sure soda didnt do it at ALL, but pony didnt wanna push soda to do anything he didnt wanna do, if he wanted to wander who is pony to limit him

•having pta can cause ppl to act inappropriately in public/not able to recognize social cues and if theres one thing about soda, he has a VERY specific persona he wants to put on in public, im not saying this bc the gang would b embarrassed of soda, but bc they know soda would just not like to act like this in public, so mainly, hes kept inside till hes at least somewhat better, for HIS sake. at most they let him b outside w the gate closed or somethin so he doesnt run off, BUT this doesnt mean he doesnt act impulsive/inappropriately w the gang tho, its happened here n there for sure

•he does get his memory back eventually, the gang whipped out photo albums, played memory games (it was actually VERY fun for everyone so that came easily), pony gave him a notebook to help jot things down, they even made a solid schedule for soda so he could get back into the groove of everything. this went on for id say few days in total

[lovetogether]

here i will send an ask to inquire because perhaps you would like to share a bit about them on your blog .... what oc's have you been workshopping!!! i would like to know the secrets. what has tumblr user lovetogether been cooking

Hello hello our dear friend allister! Rubs hands together… eheheh, since T:MLs (last big oc story we did) we’ve been mostly working on tiny oc “drabbles”? I guess you could call them. We have bursts of scenes and whatnot but that’s about it. They mostly exist to . Have fun . We’re a writer at heart though so they do have a bit of narrative set up - anyhow! Come with us down here into this wine cellar,

First one is this ^

This is “Humanity”, a man made passion project of sorts. It’s mostly based off glados, portal two in general, and our own alienation from people and tendency for “escape” but not in a manner close to usual “fandomites” (Is that a word..? I just made it up…) Humanity’s deal is it was maybe a “human” (used loosely as you know we draw most people as kemono) at one point but was then wiped and given many mechanical enhancements. Its essentially and a i trained off only human made media like films and tv shows, it’s connected to tons of TVs in its main sorta “lab” (shown in the tiny drawing) nd these screens will reflect snippets of movies and tv shows which coincide with whatever emotion Humanity is mimicking at the moment. Despite the heavy media training though Humanity remains mostly emotionless, only mimicking what it’s been fed. It’s never actually been given field training. And it never will. The lab in a portal two type situation was abandoned for one reason or another, the place only inhabits machines now, including Humanity. The place is overgrown and lonely. We have this idea that a girl ends up there, maybe Chell style (can you tell we like portal lolol) but she’s like, a child. This child is Humanity’s first like experience with a real person and it’s confused by her lack of - what was on the screen. It learns from here, we think at first it rejects the truth of humans, opting to believe what it was trained on, but it eventually learns.

Next is Persimmon :-) !! Or Persi (per-see) for short ! He’s a young chipper business man who died and ended up in the afterlife, he’s kinda comparable to a zombie? His premise is sorta dark humor-ish, apologies to viewers out there-! He was a very upbeat businessman and then one day a slight inconvenience happened at work and so he went home and offed himself in the tub. He resides in the afterlife now and is pretty chill with this. He often greets new comers and whatnot, his excited energy towards everything is sorta welcoming..? He’s extremely open about the fact he ended his life and is very chill about this, when questioned about his life and he goes on to say it was fine which then spawns the question “why’d you do it?” He sorta just smiles and shrugs. Admittedly a very dark humor type concept but we just wanted to make something which made harder topics like that a bit easier to stomach as those kinds of things have always left us numb rather than offended. We’d want people to feel okay with themselves, nd in a weird way his optimism is sorta a..? “It could happen to anyone” type thing, through the dark humor we create something earnest. As always.

Finally here’s Donut! She’s a coworker alongside our other workshopped oc Delilah “Dell” Coordinates . They’re “fbi agents” cause well they’re based off twin peaks characters. We don’t really care about fbi type junk though so they’ll just be defunct detectives or something funny like that. Donut is chill for the most part, bringing the sorta straight man edge to a case but with a kind demeanor. She waves off supernatural but in no way undermines believers. But don’t let her lax attitude fool you! She’s extremely skilled. She doesn’t linger but she also doesn’t rush yknow? She’s maybe a lowkey daydreamer but a realistic one, she enjoys the simpler things…

Oh my god we forgot to say, Persi is a stoat and Donut is a white tailed mongoose. Yus 👍 oh and, Persi + Humanity are sorta “us-based” ocs which means we don’t reeally? Have set pronouns? They’re agender. Yuuup. You can use he or she for them . We defaulted to it for Humanity cause it felt right. And he for Persi cause of the businessman title. But really we don’t care. Thank youu ~!

AFTER SHREDDER AND FOOT CLAN ARE FOREVER GONE.

DONNIE GETS SO HUNG UP ON THEM NEEDING TO STAY TRAINED, PREPARED READY FOR THE FOOT CLAN AND SHREDDER TO COME BACK AGAIN OR WHO KNOWS WHAT POSSIBLY ELSE, EVEN TAKINT LITTLE CRIMES AS BIG THREATS ONE TIME USING A LITTLE TO MUCH BRUTE FORCE WHEN HE GOES TO STOP A CRIME HIMSELF THE OTHER TURTLES FED UP WITH DONNIES CRAZY CONSPIRACIES AND JUST WANTING TO ENJOY BEING TEENS

AND WHEN DONNIE HURTS A FEW PEOPLE WITH TO MUCH BRUTE FORCE and tschnology THAT ONE TIME HE STOPS THE CRIME ALONE.

And he overthinks it a million times thinking he messed up, he hurt people, hurting people was bad even possibly evil, and because he was already delusional conspiracizing and such, donnie starts getting blackouts..

These blackouts is when donnie works on a zombie mutigen type thing to infect and control people like a hive mind of zombies or blood hungry beasts of some kind with mystic power and all controlled by their master who would be donnie.

Soon donnie started trying to stay awake, write things down, track and trace the patterns of the blackouts and even one day getting sifk throwing up feeling sick from no food or sleep as he finds a journal under his desk revealing all the notes he takes blacked out, and when he reads it word bt word he remembers all of the blackouts starting to laugh as he goes to the other turtles holding rhe zombie serum and smashes it on the ground and explaining everything.

Leo mikey and raph grab donnie and splinter running out of their base to a rooftop where donnie had more of the serum and was already starting to get infected with it..

The 3 orher turtles take splinter and run scared of what is gonna happen and what their brother was becoming, as donnie opens 3 more tubes of the serum and throwing 2 in the air to rain on people below, while he chugged 1 to himself to theoretically give him the full control of everyone infected and making him the master to these "mystic zombies" or whatever undead mutant creatures donnie made them into...

All the zombies different and unique due to some being human, and some already mutant like rockity and bebop the pig ang rhino becoming much stronger zombies since their mutants.

And so now donnie fully mystic zombie turtle mutant ninja creature, and master of all of the rest hoarding the city.. try and spread this "sickness" or "disease" "infection" "zombie apocalypse" to other places outside the city hoping it spreads world wide and maybe even all of space and who knows what next? (Donnies insane zombie thoughts yknow? All villain now kinda-)

So leo mikey raph, and the other turtles and mutants that join them fight the zombies and try taking back over the city and world from these zombie like beings and Donnatello while splinter is protected bt them getting to old and weak to fight as he secretly was infected but somehow holding off long enough for them to not notice...yet...

(Basically simple explanation)

Donnie goes crazy over

What if? What if ? What if what if what if?

So much that it causes him stress blackouts

And

not knowing they were from stress and not remembering things he was starting to catch on that he was blacking or passing out,

And when he finds the journal of what he writes and does during the blackouts, he remembers them, and his madness swells as he becomes the possible mad, crazy, scientist, mutant, villain that he had warned them of to come sometime after they defeated shredder as he just wanted them to be ready...

but now he was the reason they HAD to be. Needed to be..or the world was gone..or it would be from the zombie infection...)

So its donnie controlling the zombies w some other mystic powers VS everyone!)

And we can say he steals one of shredders old yamato scrolls to teach himself more mystic abilities to mix with his new mutant zombie powers, and controlling them the way he is like a hive mind.....

(Also the roleplay starts ALREADY DURING the apocalypse, far after donnie created the zombies spreading the infection snd starting this all..)

Damn....why all this hate on you? I thought you did made it clear of your characters and stuff. (Or is this not about them-)

Genuinely there's like two or three people out there who have whack ass one-sided beef with me specifically that are trying to make it seem like it's a morality thing and not just fandom pettiness and bigotry lol

like it's very telling that I'm getting weird bouts of anon hate for "reposting underage nsfw" art and not the person who... supposedly made the art i reposted. Or alternatively, people being upset that I've made NSFW of characters that are very clearly adults. I've unironically had people call Druid of all characters minor-coded before. yknow, the 1500 year old man. it's just silly. There are many, many people in this fandom who do the same brand of NSFW I do and no one is being this level of unhinged in their inbox. this is peak petty on full display

(also for the record, no, i havent reposted or made any underage anything. i've been pretty vocal about being squicked by loli/sho. i dont care if other people are into that but it ain't for me. even if i did like that type of content, that's... that's not... what being a pedophile is. if the bar is that low all the weebs of the world are in trouble).

It's not even hard for anyone to check for themselves. my discord server is public, any verified adult can see the 18+ channels and look at the explicit art i've made. spoiler alert, it's real underwhelming as far as internet standards go

For the most part it's just kinda funny to see this hate train crash and burn. Most of it I've been ignoring or giving meme replies to cause anyone who is taking that shit seriously already made up their mind about me, I aint wasting my breath on that lmao

I do wanna talk about this anon hate I got in my strawpage the other day tho:

My first thought was "low effort rage bait? on MY wi-fi?" because I'm hardly just "tolerated" by the fandom. if people didn't like me they would just say that, and plenty of people have before.

Im not here for a popularity contest, im here to be autistic about my blorbos. if i wanted to be popular I'd exclusively make fanart of the canon characters on twitter or do low-effort text posts with screenshots from the show (and i know that works cause I've done it before and WOW look at those notes)

but numbers /= meaningful interaction and I care about THAT much more. People do know what I do, of course they know I'm a freak, I don't keep it a secret, this aint news to anyone who follows me. Secrets imply I've got something I'm ashamed of, and that ship has sailed. I'm out of my people pleasing era and have been for years now. I may hide the specifics because, quite frankly, i dont see a point in flaunting the spicer stuff on main. But as far as my art and interests go, I'm an open book

The other thing is, the creator of this show is a freak. Every few years people find out about the Ed, Edd and Eddy art and lose their shit. That Amethyst and Sadie art? That was her. That Pearl x Greg art I shared on Twitter that was every chronically online lesbian's 9/11? Yeah she made that too. She literally reads my AU. the bar for freakiness in this fandom is on the fucking floor, dawg

But the reason I wanna talk about it is for the sake of other people who are following me, not just to satisfy this guy's weird hate-boner.

I'm sure that some people are seeing the stuff I'm getting sent and are scared to be more open about what they enjoy because they dont wanna deal with this kinda shit themselves. I have pretty thick skin at this point- after being online long enough you just have to- but not everyone is willing to take a pounding like that. I get it.

thing is, pretending to be "one of the good ones" is not gonna make those around you actually like you. They like the fake version of you, not the real you, and those kinda folks are not worth being around. it's best to rip off that band-aid sooner than later. In the moment it'll suck, but in the long run it's more than worth it. It's better to have a few ride-or-die friends than a large group of fair-weather friends. You may also find that there are folks out there who are more accepting and based than you think. I've certainly been surprised by a few!

the only people who send anon hate like this do it because something in their life sucks and they feel the need to take it out on others. ya ever notice that these type of people never show their face? it's cause they're scared. scared that they might actually have to step out on the front lines. scared they might have to get their hands dirty. By just just being out and open you've proven to be braver, bolder, and stronger than they will ever be.

Don't be afraid of losers in sunglasses. They aren't worth your fear.

I was barely awake when we got to @if-you-got-a-heart-at-all 's house last night so here's the concert post

The boat is cool. For once the floor was actually moving when it felt like it, it wasn't just me freaking out

Unusual to me to not be metal detectored at any of these three shows

I had no makeup and I didn't eat enough beforehand cause of train agonies, so I brought skittles to just dump a handful of in my mouth when I got too hungry

They were late getting onstage so Wednesday had to rush the stories

Second show where I had condensation dripping on me from the ceiling 💀

He apologized for forgetting to introduce Ashes on Halloween 😂

He grabbed his dick during I Love To Say Fuck and I kinda missed it cause I had to keep an eye on the moshpit

Moshpit was fun. Definitely bruised. Got one of my fishnet sleeves caught on someone's safety pins so I have a new hole in it. There was a dickhead doing full on trust fall type bullshit into the edges, and he was tall and broad too, not the easiest to catch. And this guy came up and stood at the front edge, holding a beer in a plastic cup, and seemed surprised when it ended up spilled all down the front of him

Chick in front of me for a while was doing the Most Annoying Girl At The Concert dance. Yknow, one arm up, slow swish swish look at my hair going swish. And she was taller than me. Like. I'm not going to spoil my experience by being too Full Of Rage, but I hate you

I missed getting to touch his hand by like two inches at the end. I'm going to start feeling like he hates me personally on purpose at some point, I just know it

Got to see the Thigh Bounce in person once again

I'm so dead, and now that it's all Over, I'm feeling Rough

[cheemken]

Steven being the only one with an okay-ish parent is meannn. Gave the other champions either trauma or daddy/mommy issues that won’t get resolved, but Steven gets to have an actual dad lmao

Also I really like the idea that Iris’ parents were teen parents/very early twenties that didn’t think they could handle the responsibility of a child or didn’t want to put their life on hold for her

The way I see it happening is that Iris gets asked to be in an interview, perhaps 5-7 years after she became champion. It’s one of those interviews where the celeb gets asked about their life, the significant events that have happened, how they got to fame, etc.

She mostly talks about her life with Drayden, how she trained under him and learnt what she knows from him. Even sharing some of her version about the events in BW and BW2. But when she gets asked about her REAL parents (which she was annoyed about, cause Drayden was her parent figure and they’re disregarding him with that question) she only mentions how they abandoned her in Blackthorn city when she wasn’t even a year old, and that nobody knew who her parents were. But she ended the question by saying she’s grateful it happened because she wouldn’t have got to meet Drayden if they never did

I say her parents only found out because let’s be real, the champions are celebrities and celebs always have bat shit crazy fans who invade personal business. And now they just got a bunch of info about Iris’ life. So a group of her fans on Discord, or whatever the Pokémon equivalent of it is, probably found her biological parents and got in touch with them, cause this type of stuff always happens on a discord server 💀

Imagine the drama that occurs after this, titles and headlines are something like “Champion Iris of Unova gets in contact with her bio parents!! 😱😱😱 (NOT FAKE!!!)”

Very last thing I want to add, but Iris has definitely listened to Leon rant about his ‘dad’ trying to reconnect with him after he became famous. So now she has that fear that her own bio parents are trying to do the same thing with her

Real quick but does that really happen in discord servers😭😭

Ah but anyways cbdmdn hahaha

O U G H

No but cjmxnx before the interview, that's where Leon and Iris talked abt stuff tho, and god she doesn't want that, she's already overthinking abt all the different things happening if she ever meets her bio parents

And then the interview happened, the question has been asked, and suddenly a few days later the Champions are messaging her, saying how they've been seeing a lot of news articles abt her parents, how there's a ton of posts going online how these two specific peeps were so adamant and so insistent that they're Iris' parents, and they sent a pic to the group chat and god the fucking resemblance is uncanny and she fucking hated it

There's like a million thoughts running in her head. Maybe those are just edits, maybe they just dyed their hair purple to get clout that they're related to her, or maybe it's just coincidence like how it was coincidence she and Leon looks related to each other. But then these two people wanted to talk to her, they were so insistent she's honestly annoyed by it. She asked for the other Champions to be there for her at least, in case smth actually happens, she doesn't trust these two ofc, and she knows her grandpa will be there for her and the Unova League and her friends too, but it's best to have more people to intimidate them yknow

And in a more secluded part of Opelucid, or maybe even at their own home, Iris invited the two. Drayden, the rest of the Unova kids, and even the Champions were there. But the two knows there's more people there, more Pokémon than they can see. They could see the Mistralton Gym Leader flying w her Vullaby around Opelucid for a while now. Sees the Nimbasa Gym Leader heading towards the mall, but she gave them a side eye as she went. They saw the Elite Four roaming around Opelucid as well. And while they had no plans to fight (ofc, they only have two Pokémon between them, they aren't even trained, and they wanna fight literal champions?), it still made them uneasy

And just chmdnd

Ough yo pls Iris is there just glaring at them, and the two are so uncomfortable yknow, bc for one, Drayden was also glaring at them. At Iris' right was Diantha also looking at them w a bored expression, but it's the one where the champions know it's best not to cross her. Behind her were Leon, Hilbert, and Cynthia, w Hilbert having his arms crossed, glaring at them, he honestly looks terrifying. And Iris just sighs, she'd rather get this over w than to prolong it even more.

She asks them if it's real, that they are her parents, they have no proof ofc, but shit man they're just so goddamn insistent. And they told her ofc, told her everything, why they left her at Blackthorn, how they were young and stupid when they had her, and that kinda set Iris off, "so I was an accident?" God that shut them up. Technically. She was. They didn't want her. That's why they left her, because they were so young when they had her, and they were terrified, and in a spur of the moment, they decided to leave her in Blackthorn, hoping someone would take care of her there.

Iris didn't even want to hear the rest of it. Now they're back? After everything, now they're back? Why? Because she's suddenly a strong and famous Champion? Is this what Leon meant? Of course, how could she be stupid too, ofc this was what he meant. And even tho she already knows, she asked them, asked them why they suddenly wanna see her again, why just now?

Her "mother" hesitated, but her "father" was quick w his response, "we just wanted to see if you're alright!"

Liar.

Iris smiled. The one Diantha always taught her and Hau when they're finally done with the conversation, but didn't want to be rude. But she did want to be rude. God she wanted to scream and yell and lash out. "Well. That's sweet of you. But I'm doing great. Better than I could've been, honestly." She said through her teeth, "you two are free to leave now."

But idk,,, imagine,,, imagine if her father got low-key pissed bc they really thought Iris would accept them, and they can finally live the life they wanted, the life of wealth and fame together w their daughter. "Iris, listen—"

Tho as he stood up, both Lance and Drayden stood up as well, block his view of Iris, the Dragon specialists having looks that are downright homicidal, and they'd rather not cross them, as they know how Lance could actually get.

They finally relented, as Iris' mother tugged on her husband's shirt, telling him that's enough, they're powerless against the Champions. They know that. And just imagine her looking at Iris, smiling sadly at her, tears in her eyes, and tells her how she doesn't fault her for being like this, as they probably deserve this, and told her that despite it all, she's happy she found a family for herself, a family that really loves her, and before they left, she told Iris she was proud of her. Smth her so called father never said, as he left without another word.

And just jcmxnxmx after that tho, they watch them leave, hopefully they won't return again, and Iris is there crying, being held in Drayden's arms as she sobs in his chest, god that was smth yknow, that really was smth hahah she never wanted to relive that, never wanted to see them again, never wanted to hear word of them again, she doesn't want them, not like they wanted her too, and she already has a family. And her family, despite them not being related to each other, is so much better than her so called parents.

What happened in your dream?

putting my explanation under readmore, its not that long just touchy subject matter..;

so i dont remember the rest of the dream that lead up to this moment. but i was holding an arby's turkey sandwich. i took a bite of it & as i was chewing my own voice said to me: "every bite i take, the cancer cells inside me multiply." my voice was accompanied by an image of these rancid looking yellow cells rapidly spawning out of each other, like the way it wld look under a microscope. it horrified me so much that it woke me up but the image was still in my vision & i didnt realize i had woken up for a sec..

it was gruesome and idk how its meant to b taken. never had a dream like this before. the book im reading mentions often that the deeper u get into the study of dreams, the more ur psychic muscle is trained & u will start having new types of dreams. its also been happening to me lately w these 3rd person perspective dreams i never remember having before but anyways..

a large part of the book talks about how ur dreams will try to offer u health advice. & bring certain things to light. however idk if i can put full stock in it being a premonition since cancer is one of my biggest fears due to the untimely deaths caused by cancer in my immediate family. like it cld just be a stress dream yknow but regardless it rly put me in a fucked up mood.. cldnt get back to sleep for hours n the image wldnt leave my mind, thats what rly felt odd about it, the imagery, & hearing the words in my own voice, i dunno.

also ive never eaten arby's before cus the look of it always repulsed me. ?

yeah idk if anything its probly just a message trying to get me to eat a little healthier, physically i been feeling rough lately n already been consciously considering i need to eat less fast food, so maybe next time i can receive this message w a lil less ptsd inducing imagery pls -_-

Part 4! Of rereading Lore Olympus. Ep 31-40

Gotta be real I keep forgetting to post these even tho I'm reading them but it's fine. Obviously I won't finish before the end of the 2 week break (this Saturday) but after this I may start reviewing episodes as they come out, who knows. Last part:

Ep 31

Theres so many other reasons you shouldnt work together but ok

Also shes literally so smart right like thats canon

Artemis is cool hera,,,sometimes

Which two sons i wish i knew the lo family tree as opposed to the real one yknow

How do heras powers work she felt her pain but doesnt know who??

I would kill for a comprehensive list of family tree and powers, dont even have to spoil powers just please i get so confused

Ep 32

Train ur fuckin dogs hades i think ive said that before

He changed skin color again but like not just light vs dark thats a whole diff shade of blue

Hehe threaten low class workers so cute and quirky hades

Why is uh psyche/whatever her nymph name is wearing more traditional clothes while not in the mortal realm

Love the dog

Hades has a point, even tho it makes no sense for him to have said that

Ok also point out in the like future episode he wants persephone to call him Aidoneus but doesnt like when others do it why

Thats my same thing with him calling her Kore like i know in the future its like explained or whatever but idk

Aphrodite has a point it was a favor in a way

A dumb way but yknow

I remember everyone losing it over the “im only interested in the dead ones” panel but looking at it its so lame LMAO changed his entire face shape for a panel

Ep 33

HECATE HECATE WOOOO

Im but a simple man

Hades texts like an old man i know he is one but

Also i am dying to know how his business works including as the god of the underworld like. Give me something

Then again, maybe i am a lil dumb when it comes to this

I always thought he was giving the little elevator friend a sugarcube lmao

I like how minthes ears react to her emotions

Stop fighting at work omg this would be the worst place to work at

“Hey can u do ur job”

Ep 34

Why this subplot ugh

The crown floats yet is sideways after she hits him

Also haha hitting

Also their relationship does confuse me just a tad bit yknow

All the clues were there hades you dumbass

“Cancel all my meetings” DO YOUR JOB

“This doesnt affect you in the same way” cause hes a man or a king or both but also kings seemed to get treated the same by their subjects until they are dicks and excute their power

From what ive seen

Then again we havent seen poseidon do that but that brings me to the point of I wanna see poseidon realm

thats . so creepy hades ew

“Smth must be done about this” like fair legal action right?....right?

Who reads newspapers these days anyways wait a second

Ep 35

See the laptop having news makes more sense like sure we make newspapers but ppl dont use em as often

“Biochemistry Theory” fun fact I switched majors to specifically avoid taking chemistry

What are they typing he just started speaking

What type of nymph is thetis bc i know minthe is a river nymph but thetis has fancy ears

They are so mean to each other lmao

The financial situation and the fact that they both are like sleeping with the kings confuse me why do both of them do it.

Like retrospectively i understand it but when i first read it i was like “are nymphs supposed to be like hookers??” so i was lost for a bit

“Hades micromanages computer usage” oh what a shit boss

Also the meal ticket she has a job sure hades gave it to her but

Idk maybe im slow

What an awful way to do a heart shape i just tried it wtf

“Crying is for wives” damn

Yes body issues that dont get brought up again right? Like she all of a sudden gets bigger boobs and i dont think hades pays ppl enough for cosmetic surgery

You guys know this is a work setting

Has rachel ever had a job bc this feels like a comical trope seen on tv the workplace drama yknow

LMAO IN THE LAST PANEL RACHEL FORGOT TO GIVE HER NYMPH EARS

Like fully normal ears i know its a mistake but its funny

Ep 36

“Not my circus not my monkeys” queen

Hades is it not your circus how dont involve hecate in this

“Stop starin at me with them big ol eyes”

Oof that does not look good on you, i mean why didnt you give her the coat

“I thought you didnt get jealous” ok she may have said that but literally everything about her contradicts that

And i love this part bc he doesnt call her crazy and they talk, i mean he hides some of the truth which like fuck him, and then they try to talk about the party and

Ugh i know minthe is supposed to be an antagonist but rachel does this weird thing where she tries to flesh her out, then realizes it would be an easy set up for a redemption arc and screws her over again

I know the ppl in the mortal realm are generally frightened of hades but why are ppl in olympus

“I wouldnt expect anything less from a goddess” so we are going to bring in the racism/speciesism that occurs in this story right

Its the middle of the day isnt he supposed to be in the mortal realm moving the sun or some shit

Ep 37

“Last night” Rachel its ok to space things out sweetie

Ok ok so one thing i hate about her characterization of apollo is he goes from being delusional to knowing what he did was at least slightly wrong and i hate both are fine stories but pick one he either is so infatuated with persephone that he thinks that they had a great time or he wants her for her power

And! A transition from one to the other would be fine, but she goes back in forth in his characterization

Little red vines look cool

Hehe cerberus

How did he escape tho

I love that dog

Ep 38

Oh its the greenhouse again

But this time it represents the evil feeling?

Idk but i like eye symbolism im lame lol

Why was she sleeping in the chair

When did she get those clothes i dunno if eros would buy her business casual

Artemis really sees all the signs and then goes “meh”

Like points out the possible crush on persephone just connect the dots they are so close

Why is there not more than one door

Why is no one getting off

How does rachel think train stops work

Ep 39

Also not thatanos with an undercut lmao

Ope its thanatos i mixed it up

Also minthe you just actively arent doing a good job like lmao how are you not getting fired

Hades smoking a cigar is so old and gross tbh

What an awful boss

That man has a point dont stand infront of the door

She gave her a little flower nice

Minthe i know ur being spiteful, weird bc hades explained shes just the daughter of a friend( i know its a lie but still) but just do your job

“It says restricted access but that lady says it was fine” i would just wait until someone came out theres no reason to go inside

Ep 40

Why would they not have a lock on this place actually

Why wouldnt she just leave the way she came

When did hades put on his glasses

How is it hades fault what

So many questions yknow for such a short episode

Also does this place not have security cameras in places that are tartarus

[alex-loves-cat-pokemon]

Info:

Hey! I'm Alex, I'm a 15-year-old Galarian pokemon trainer living in Paldea (don't worry, not on my own, my parents are here too.) I go by any pronouns though I prefer they/them, so, yknow. Do with that info what you will. My team currently consists of: Sparks the Luxray, my first pokemon. Caught her on Challenge Beach as a Shinx on the Isle of Armour with my dad. (It's spelt ARMOUR, by the way. I hate that other regions miss out the 'u'.) Flame the Pyroar. I caught him in Kalos as a Litleo when visiting with my parents. He was my second pokemon :) Lyra the Liepard. A stranger at the daycare in Kalos didn't want the egg the nursery staff gave him, so he asked if anyone nearby wanted it and I took it. She hatched into a Purrloin after I'd walked with her a bit. Fishlegs the Perrserker. Caught him as a Meowth when we went back to Galar to visit the family. I love him. He's named after a viking Berserk character called Fishlegs from a book series I like called How to Train Your Dragon-Type, set way back when people were just learning how to live alongside pokemon rather than against them. The vikings in the books don't know how to train pokemon properly, so they just yell at them a lot. Poor pokemon. UPDATE: Sprout the Sprigatito. I literally JUST got her, so she's still really weak. I'm gonna train her some more and hopefully get her to fully evolve. She's the cutest thing ever. This girl I met - Nemona, she's a champion rank and SO COOL - gave me a Sprigatito egg when I told her I wanted to be the first ever champion-rank with an all-cat team. I also have Mettaton the Glameow and Tulip the Skitty, but I don't use either of them for battling because they're both very delicate and neither of them really enjoy it, either. Likewise, I have Goober the Goomy, whom I love with all my heart, but Goomy are also rather delicate and need specific care cause of their slimy nature, so I don't use him for battling either. Update: JUST CAUGHT POOPER THE PALDEAN WOOPER AND I LOVE HIM WITH ALL MY HEART. Also, yes, Mettaton is named after the Undertale character.

If you couldn't tell, I'm a cat person. My current goal is to become the first ever Champion-rank with an all-cat team. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OOC - Here is info about the person behind this account: Hi! I was inspired to make this blog by @realpokemon. I'm a minor, so, yknow, keep that in mind. they/them pronouns. The character featured in this blog is an OC. I'm sort of new-ish to tumblr? I've been here on my main (which I'd rather keep separate from this blog) for a few months now, so I'm still kind of adjusting. The premise of this blog is basically that I'll be posting as if Tumblr existed in the pokemon world, from the perspective of a teenager living in it. All posts will be in-character as Alex unless stated otherwise. That's all I have to say, really. Cheerio!

[herrmitton]

my oc Flynn!! i did a redesign of him and the other two from that little,, trio,, so i thought i’d make headshots to go with them!!

more info about him under the cut!!

he’s basically the uhh,, secret enemy but we feel sorry for him <33

his character motivations are basically to gain respect, power, avenge his family and uhhh find a place to belong !! he sucks!! stinky guy!! rotten!!

honestly i’m just gonna drop his story here because tumblr is freeing

SO, he was the youngest born into a kinda big family! he had a couple brothers and sisters and they were generally a chill family. When he was around 5 years old his family home was broken into by this kind of,, underground branch of the government?? the type that keeps things hidden from the public like yknow, magic and shit. During this break in he was quite literally in the middle of hide and seek with his sister and he was very much hiding already. Essentially he watched his entire family be killed and their home set on fire to hide any evidence and yknow,, he was only 5,, scared,, and barely had any training in sorcery yet so he couldn’t do anything :((

after he eventually crawls out of his house since it is. on fire. an extremely powerful outlawed sorcerer just takes him?? just straight up picks him up and leaves,, now this dude,, he is not a good guy,, he practically tried to induce a mass genocide years prior and as punishment got his sorcery abilities forcibly ripped from him and hes been in hiding ever since

so he takes flynn, and raises/grooms him into becoming an extremely powerful sorcerer to essentially live through and control. Flynn is powered by revenge and hate for the people that did this to his family and well he only really knows what this guy tells him so he was kinda extremely easy to manipulate…he goes through a lot of brutal and abusive training (although he doesnt know any different) which results in most of the scars on his arms. he uses a specific technique that wears away at his skin on his hands and will eventually move to his arms if he is using it for too long. It makes his hands bleed a lot so basically his hands are a mess but he is still extremely dexterous

So after Flynn is old enough the guy hits up some old friends and basically gets Flynn a position as a superior in the sorcerer government type deal,, he joins the circle of the 7 strongest sorcerers who call all the shots n keeps an eye on things etcetc. essentially working as a spy but Flynn doesn’t realise fully thats why he wanted him there? he just thinks he’s done really well and earned it. The other superiors absolutely hate him because some random kid just?? got a position here?? from recommendations only?? he sucks fr!! basically its just a bunch of old dudes bullying a 20 yr old just cause <3. Flynn kinda just takes it on the chin because honestly he’s just really desperate to be recognised for his talents and such

SO uh around the time he joins this is when the ex sorcerer begins to move forward with his new plan which is to have Flynn open a bunch of portal gates from the underworld to the overworld,, specifically from these “badlands” areas in the underworld that are home to thousands of just grotesque monsters. So he basically is trying to wipe out a bunch of people without anything leading back to him. Flynn is very aware about what he’s doing but he’s so warped that he thinks its fine. People killed his family so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

After some time, he is called into an emergency meeting with the 7 and our friends Damon and Beau are there are prisoners! Long story short they have been breaking the law by using magic and fighting monsters in front of the public and also believe they are responsible for this recent outbreak of monsters,, all the 7 give their thoughts on suitable punishment but when it gets to Flynn he volunteers to travel with them and keep and eye on them. Making sure anything that must be concealed is done so etcetc. They agree since they kinda want rid of Flynn and there will be great punishments if he allows them to step out of line at all

SO AWAY THEY GO!!! Damon is instantly head over heels for Flynn and he does not engage (lie) And Beau likes to pester him because “he’s too quiet” and “i’m gonna make him come out of his shell!!”

and from there!! strong bonds are formed!! chaos ensues!! maybe someone dies!! who knows<33

if u read all of that ur insane

[m88n]

[7.01 pm] - when a night spent together with mark lee makes you question his motives

►listen to boyfriend - ariana grande

You recall the events of yesterday night as you make your way to the upscale burger joint that’s been designated as the meeting point for a group of friends. Lingering touches, soft breaths. Whispers of sweet nothings from a boy with clear eyes and unspoken thoughts. You don’t know what happened there—one thing led to another, and before you knew it, you were cuddling with him under his cold covers, the touches of his skin and lips becoming all too familiar to you. 

Lost in your thoughts, you realize that you’ve finally reached the diner. You reach for the door handle to enter the vicinity.

Images of his slender fingertips on his game controller flashing through your mind, you two were supposed to just spend time playing games as new friends with similar hobbies. But before you knew it, you were exchanging gazes in the silence of his studio apartment, and suddenly, you were kissing each other.

You’ve been thinking about this since last night.

“y/n, come over here! Happy you made it,” A friend calls out to you from a booth.

You don’t know what to make of it, because the way he asked for 10 more minutes of your cuddles that night, yet tearing his eyes away from you all too quickly the morning after, avoiding any lingering touches as he takes you to your cab, makes you question his motives.

You sigh your thoughts out as you sit next to Sarah, the girl who everyone generally dislikes due to her disposition and behavior, but honestly, you prefer to focus on her good parts, like her bubbliness, and her ability to bring people together.

“Hey, what’s up guys?” You greet everyone, and they greet you back in unison, all smiles.

“So, everyone here?” Jeno asks Sarah.

She giggles coyly, then says in a lowered volume, “No, I invited this guy, he’s so cute. I’ve been trying to get to him since last month ever since I saw him in my stats class. Finally got his number last week,” She finishes, playing with her hair.

“Oh, alright. That’s taking awfully long, knowing how you play,” Jisung jokes backhandedly, and you shoot him a warning look, albeit with a smile threatening to break out.

Jisung smiles back at you and looks down at his cup, trying to contain himself from bursting out in laughter.

“Yeah, I know right? Guy’s got a real tight defense, what gives,” She continues, “Usually guys would’ve been all over me at this point. I wonder what’s his problem.”

Sarah turns at you, to your surprise, “Hey, y/n, what do you think? I need to get him for me.”

Not knowing how to respond, you shrug at her question. “I honestly don’t know Sarah, you’d know better than I do.”

“Yeah, thought I’d ask you cause you do these things unreasonably slow, it’s so weird, honestly y/n, you could do so much better,” She responds. You nod at her as she keeps on talking, your eyes lingering at Jisung, who gives you a look full of condolences, slowly shaking his head at you.

“—Oh hey, over here!” Sarah suddenly stops her train of endless lecturing in order to greet someone at the entrance with complete haste.

You breathed out in relief, that is, before your eyes hover over the direction of the entrance.

Mark.

It’s Mark.

“Hey everyone, this is Mark Lee, guy from my stats class, the one I’ve told you about,” Sarah announces to the rest of the table.

“Hey guys,” Mark greets, waving at your group, before his eyes meet yours.

You swear you could’ve seen a millisecond of him slightly raising his brows, but he continues as if nothing’s happened, taking the only vacant seat next to you.

“Hey man,” Mark leans in to greet someone on the table.

“Hey, doing alright?” Jisung responds.

“Not bad,” Mark says as he sits back down.

Even though you don’t mean to, your eyes are definitely shooting daggers at Jisung at this point. He looks back at you and flashes a small reserved smile that’s hard to decipher. Park Jisung, I swear.

“I didn’t know you guys knew each other! Jiji, you never told me!” Sarah bellows from beside you, snapping you out of your train of thought. Though, you proceed to look at Jisung with the same questionable look.

“First off, Sarah, don’t call me that,” Jisung says, “Second, how am I supposed to know Mark’s the guy you have in stats? I’m not an oracle,”

“Oh Ji, always so cute,” Sarah responds as she looks over you to lock eyes with Mark, “That being said, Mark, do you want to switch seats with my friend here? She doesn’t talk too much to people she just meets so you’re probably better off—”

“I’m good here, thanks Sarah,” Mark responds with a polite smile, “I can go in and out easy to get water and go to the bathroom here, so I’m good really.”

“Oh well, whatever you say Mark,” Sarah says, giggling to herself, “Before we order, let’s introduce you to everyone, you already know Jiji,” She proceeds to give out a brief introduction of each of the people on the table starting from Jisung, Mark greeting each one with attentiveness.

“… And this is y/n. She’s a psych major,” Sarah finally gets to you, “She loves stuff like anime, but don’t get me wrong, she’s cool, kinda unexpected, she’s got around like 7 tattoos hidden on her body and stuff yknow,”

“Yeah, I know.” Mark says simply as he pulls the slightest of smiles, shifting his gaze from Sarah to you.

You see Jisung struggle to stifle a look in his face from the corner of your eyes, his hand gingerly coming up to cover his mouth, quickly picking up the restaurant menu before mindlessly looking through it.

“Oh yeah, I guess you would, you could see one peeking out on her wrist,” Sarah says as laughter bubbles out of her chest, taking the menu in one hand, “Alright now that that’s over with, let’s order everybody,”

Everyone talks about their orders with each other, while Mark and you sit in silence for a few minutes as you both browse the menu by yourselves.

Mark finally looks at you from the corners of his eyes.

“….Having trouble deciding?”

You chuckle, “Yeah.”

“Number 3 has beetroot in it,” Mark says.

“...Yeah, I know, but it’s so big. I won’t be able to finish it.” You reply.

“We can share.” He says.

You look at Mark, trying to figure this boy out, but decide upon yourself that it’d probably be the best outcome anyway since both of you love beetroot in burgers.

“Yeah, sounds like a good idea.” You respond.

“Cool.” Mark says.

“—What about you y/n? Have you decided yet? You always take ages to decide,” Sarah suddenly turns to you to ask in the midst of all the chatter.

“Oh, uh—”

“Yeah, she’ll be sharing with me, we’re getting number 3,” Mark chimes in.

“Oh. Okay, well, too bad I don’t like beetroot. Good thing Mark’s nice y/n,” Sarah says in response.

“Yeah, I guess,” You say.

Not too long after everyone finishes ordering, the orders arrive, and you’re greeted by the large burger you’re thankful to be sharing with someone else. You pick up your fork and knife to halve the burger.

“Let me.” Mark says, and before you knew it, he’s already in the middle of cutting your burger in half.

“Thanks, Mark.” You say to him, smiling. He just smiles back at you in response.

“....Yeah, he’s holding a birthday party next Saturday, at Scarlett Saturdays. I have an engineering essay due on the next Monday, but I’ll be going since he’s my bro and all,” You notice Jeno in the midst of his conversation with the others.

“Jaemin? You mean the Jaemin guy that went after y/n for the longest time?” Sarah asks in between bites. You notice Mark halts for a split second before he finishes cutting the burger.

“Is going after. He asked me to ask her to come. But knowing her, I didn’t even try,” He says, chuckling.

“Why don’t you go for it already, y/n? Even though he’s not really my type, I think he’s mad cute. Do you not think so?” Sarah says, turning to you.

“…I mean, yeah, he’s cute I guess. I don’t know.” You reply concisely, not really feeling like talking about that right now. You proceed to cut a small bite sized piece of the beetroot burger you’ve instead been thinking about for the past 10 minutes.

“Maybe think about it though. Just one night. Jaemin does seem like a bit of a flirt and a player, but I think he really does like you,” Jeno continues, munching on his burger.

“It’s about time you get some action don’t you think,” Sarah follows up on him.

You cough on your burger, startled by Sarah’s remark.

“Water,” Jisung readily hands you a new glass of water, as if on cue.

“Thanks, Ji,” You say, taking it from him, before gulping on it to ease your choking. God, it really seems like you’re not taking any breaks tonight. Not even to eat the beetroot burger you’ve come here to eat in the first place.

“Right? I think you really should go for it y/n,” Sarah insists, “You’re in uni, live your life instead of being inside all the time, watching anime and playing games or something,”

You sigh out, trying to ease the slight annoyance that’s starting to creep onto you. Would people just let you eat your goddamn beetroot burger already that’s starting to turn colder by the minute.

“Say, Jeno was it?” Mark suddenly says out of the blue, cutting his share of the burger, “You take chemical engineering? How far along are you in that report?”

“....Maybe 40 percent or something, probably not good enough.” Jeno muses, “You take the same class as I do, dude? Maybe we could shoot ideas to each other. Jaemin doesn’t take his studies too seriously.”

“Yeah, I’d be open to that.” Mark says, wiping his mouth with a napkin.

With that simple interruption, everyone finally drops the topic and goes back to eating. You sigh out in relief, finally revelling in the relative quietness.

You gently elbow Mark’s arm while smiling, “Thanks.”

He smiles back at you with those clear eyes that became overly familiar to you after yesterday night’s events. But before you get too deep in thought, and your burger gets even colder, you shake it off and continue eating.

That is, before you feel Mark’s thigh brush against yours, and continues eating while he lets your thighs touch, as if… He meant to do that in the first place. You figure that mulling over on these budding thoughts wouldn’t serve you well at the moment, it would only cloud your head even more, and so you finally choose to just ignore it.

“….Hey dude, what’s up? I’m eating right now,” Jeno says, after finally picking up his phone that’s been vibrating on the table for the past minute while the others continue eating.

“Yeah, I got Ben to join, probably a good idea to book 3 tables,” He says, “Can we call later? I’m with the others right now, it’s kinda rude—“

“Yeah, y/n’s here,”

You sigh out, knowing exactly who’s on the other side of the phone. Tired of dealing with the whole topic, you continue eating anyway.

“Yeah, yeah, I asked her dude. It’s a no go,” He continues, “Look, if we’re gonna be talking about this can we—”

“Dude we’re literally eating right now, I’m telling you that’s what she said,”

Jisung glances at you, knowing full well that you’re incredibly annoyed at this point but still keeping it under wraps.

“Fine but if you stuff up I’m not gonna do anything about it alright, I’m just the messenger,” He says, before putting the phone in front of you, prompting you to look up from your plate.

“It’s Jaemin. He wants to talk about the party.”

“Can’t he just call her phone directly instead of asking you to?” Jisung asks Jeno.

“He keeps on telling me she won’t pick up. Persistent, that guy.” Jeno replies.

You stare at Jeno in disbelief. Jeno’s actually a good guy, academically smart, but sometimes he could really be a blockhead, and it always surprises you how that part of him could annoy you to no end.

“What you waiting for y/n? Talk to him!” Sarah says excitedly.

To your complete surprise, Mark snatches the phone off of Jeno’s hand faster than everyone on the table could even register it in their minds.

“Hey dude, y/n’s not coming. Based on what I’m hearing, she’s really not into you. You don’t know me, my name’s Mark, and I’m really into her. Only difference is, she’s reciprocated in some ways. I wanted to do things in order with her, but I’m discovering it really doesn’t matter anyway. If she doesn’t like it, she won’t go for it. And she’s not going for it dude, at least not with you.”

[vergess]

God imagine if we called it '3-year STITCH', Gender is for catgirls and rabbits AND Untitled Mina Game (I almost typed Goose. ALMOST)

Oh I fully forgot I re queued that post and was VERY confused as to why you were asking about Exocolonist fic lololol

3 year stitch is a terrible name but titles are for the end of the work not the beginning ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's about psychosis and badly negotiated polyamory!

It's in early drafting, but I think only 3 chapters left to draft, and then how long could edits possibly take yknow?

“Personally,” she says, as acerbic as ever. “I don’t see how any of it could be real.” You know she’s not trying to get a rise out of you; it’s still unpleasant. “I don’t have to understand it to acknowledge the effects it’s having on the rest of an otherwise balanced system.” She shrugs. “Besides, your telepathic alien said so.”

You can’t help startling at that, abruptly snapped into your senses for just a moment by the confusion. “You trust him about that?”

“Shouldn’t I?” She asks. “He trusted me.”

Ah, that explained the clockwork catering.

Gender is for catgirls and rabbits is an FFXIV wol-fic, as in, it's fic about my wol, who is an oc. I continue to feel the long trained humiliation of even saying 'oc' in the context of fanfiction. However! We live in a bright new world and the decades of OC hate ultimately culminating in the violent rejections of Rey (star wars) and Tauriel (the hobbit) cannot harm me any longer.

Kill not that which is cringe; rather, kill that which cringes.

So it's about my WoL marrying another WoL to get sweet in-game teleport rings and cheat at a jumping puzzle.

It's still in rough notes.

Aislinn notes that ever since the use of self destruct started causing overdose symptoms jumping puzzles are harder

Mye suggests getting married to get a set of aetherlinked rings

Aislinn is like oh right you do have extra fantasia potions ever since you stopped being a viera

This response raises several questions

Mye asks what fantasia has to do with getting married

Aislinn responds that she may need to get divorced first and is unclear on uldahn divorce law

This clarifies nothing

Mye tries again

What do you mean 'may need a divorce'

'Oh well I am not sure if I am married or not since he abandoned me in vylbrand'

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE AND WHAT DOES FANTASIA HAVE TO DO WITH IT?????"

Notes continue for several pages at this point.

Untitled Mina Game is just a collection of links at this Most Natal Stage but I'm slowly learning how amateur radio works so we'll get there one day.

GOOODDDD MORRNNNNIINNNGGGGG SUU 💛

I am here for your essay. Or yknow, just any dunebaby facts that you can spare.

*heavy breathing* oh no, she's come for my OCs exactly like she said she would.

lolol Ok, I've got bios on 9 out of 10 of my kids so far, but I wrote a quick blurb about them so hopefully you can't figure out who I didn't start until now lol. The older 4 (which 3/4 are legit characters in LOK, but tweaked to my liking) are grown-ass adults while the other 6 are probably between 14-21. So, our beloved Taang parents have been popping kids out from when they were 18 or 19 to 39 or 40 years old.

At some point I'll make a family tree for you, since most of the older dunebabies have their own families and that can be confusing. Some have more information than others, but more will be added on each of them as time goes on. I just haven't figured them out yet.

Also, gonna put a cut here, because it's a long post and I know not everyone wants to see my OCs lol.

Ok Onto the Dunebabies from oldest to youngest:

Gyatso (M) Airbender, 35: Named after Aang’s father figure, Gyatso is Toph and Aang’s first born and first of several airbending children. He has a knack for the art and excelled quickly with mastering it, narrowly falling short of beating Aang’s record of mastering airbending at 13. As he got older and his parents continued having children, he became like a father figure to the younger ones. That’s the best part about having tons of kids, right? At some point the older ones raise the younger ones and the parents can just have fun. Once Tiao Wu turned 13, Gyatso and his own wife, boyfriend, and kids moved away from home and resided in the Western Air Temple with some Air Acolytes.

Lin (F) Earthbender, 32: Lin is a straight arrow, always following the rules. Sometimes Toph’s jokes that her first born daughter is actually Katara’s because wasn’t as goofy as Gyatso and Tenzin. As kids, Lin and Tenzin butted heads like no other. They may have had a year or two when they got along, but that was when Lin was training to be a police officer and Tenzin was always out because he was dating Pema. They constantly bicker at family gatherings, but make a mean team when they spar against the other next gen kids. Their twin telepathy (yes, they are twins in my universe) comes into play and they are undefeatable. That is until the triplets becomes masters in their own right. While Lin is a talented earthbender and metalbender, she struggled with picking it up (perhaps because of Toph’s hardcore teaching style). She responded to a “more gentle approach” as Katara would say, and Aang helped her learn the basics until she was ready to take on Toph’s more intense lessons. Lin is definitely closer with Aang than she is with Toph, but goes to mom if something needs to be done quickly and under wraps. Lin works long hours as chief of the police force in republic city, so she doesn’t have much time for romance. When she finds a spare moment for intimacy, she frequents a bar that accepts everyone. She brought Songa with her before her little sis fell in love with (insert steambaby daughter name here).

Tenzin (M) Airbender, 32: Tbh Tenzin still marries Pema and has his four kids, like in LOK. Lol. Unlike the show, with the weight of the whole air nation not on his shoulders, Tenzin was not a serious kid. He played pai sho with the white lotus members and roughed it up with Lin. Tenzin had a difficult time mastering airbending, though. He lacked the spiritual connection that his father and brother easily had. He blamed being stuck with an earthbender in the womb for 9 months at his lack of skill with airbending. His masters airbending at 21 and is pumped to finally get his tattoos. Since Pema is an air acolyte, I'm saying that her parents were also acolytes, and she and Tenzin met as kids and got along really well. They started dating at 16. Tenzin wanted to wait to get his arrows before proposing to her, so they date for 5 long years as Pema cheered him on in the grueling training. Tenzin and Pema eventually move to the Northern Air Temple and kept Teo company.

Suyin (F) Earthbender, 26: Suyin was a troublemaker when she was a kid, always pranking her siblings. She spent way too much time with Sokka. At least that’s what Toph says. Her teenage years, that’s when things became dicey. With Lin on the streets as a cop and Su committing petty crimes, the two were bound to cross paths. After Lin brought her in for whay must have been the thousandth time and Toph had to bail her out, Toph sent her to the her old stomping ground: the Earth Rumble 6. Toph still had her ear in the stadium and stayed in touch with The Boulder, and she thought it’d do her some good to get beat up by other earthbenders. Su stayed with her grandparents and got the structure she needed and got her act together. She got pounded by her opponents the first few years, but she slowly moved her way up the food chain and eventually held her mother’s old title as champion. Once she turned 18, she left to travel the world, meeting up with Kya (can't decide if Kya will be a steambaby or a Sukka baby. Is there a cut name for Sukka babies?). Along the way she met Bataar and fell in love with him and together build zaofu and have all their kids from LOK.

Songa (F) Airbender, 21: The oldest of the triplets to be born. Songa is a calm spirit, she reminds Aang of Yangchen with her way of keeping the peace in their large family. She’s a true romantic like her father and catches the attention of a lot of men, but alas, her heart is won over by one of Katara and Zuko’s daughters, (insert steambaby name here lol). She sees the best in everyone and trusts a little too easily. Watch out though, if you get on her bad side or betray her trust one too many times, her mother’s sass and tongue come out and no one wants to be hit by her earthbending styled airbending. Songa is a talented bender and has a tendency to use her airbending like an earthbender, facing things head on. She can seemlessly switch between styles, but she'd prefer to take her opponents on directly.

Kera (F) Nonbender, 21: Kera is the heart of the triplets. She’s passionate like a firebender and meets conflict head-on like her mom. Being the first non-bender didn’t feel great coming from the lineage of the Avatar and Toph Beifond, strongest earthbender in the world and metalbender originator, but she found peace in being a non-bender when hearing all the stories of Sokka, Suki, Mai, Ty Lee, Teo, and their many other friends taking down bender and non-benders alike. Kera begged her parents to live in the Fire Nation to study under Mai and Ty Lee. Aang and Toph didn’t have any problems with her going, but Zuko and Katara did, fearing she (being a dunebaby) would cause mayhem in the palace. Only after swearing to Zuko that she wouldn’t make a mess did the Fire Lord allow her stay with them. During her time there, she mastered Mai and Ty Lee’s techniques and trained under the Yuyan archers. When she came home, she could beat the other two thirds of her triplets easily. Only when she teams up with the other two, can they take down Lin and Tenzin.

Choekyi (M) Airbender, 21: The last of the triplets to come be birthed. Choekyi is a free spirit, much like his father. He enjoys traveling and meeting new people. As a child (and an adult) he is easily excited and is a very charismatic guy, which gets him far with the ladies in his teens and early twenties. He’s never scared of trying new things, sometimes to his detriment, as he gets hurt a lot for someone light on his toes. His preferred method of transportation is air scooter. Choekyi gets along with Uncle Sokka the most, with his never ending jokes and letting him learn how to throw a boomerang even though he’s a bender. Choekyi spends some time in the swamp with the swamp benders just because he finds them to be hilarious and interesting. This is where he connects with his spirituality and returns to excel in airbending, and earns his tattoos.

Songa and Kera are idenitcal twins, so no one (beside Toph and Choekyi) can tell them apart until Songa earns her arrows. Choekyi looks similar to them, as he is their triplet, but since he came from a different egg, he turns out to be much taller than his sisters. Just imagine Toph's face when she feels three freakin' heartbeats along with hers. Idk if that's scientifically sound, but it's my universe, so I can say what I want lol.

Gyun (M) Nonbender, 18: He's a very musical guy. Gyun means music, but it can also mean germ or bacteria. So his older siblings make fun of him when he’s young. While his bending siblings practice and spar, he masters most musical instruments and even becomes a skilled singer. He’s a favorite of Uncle Iroh’s and spends time with him playing music and perfecting his tea making when he’s not training with Master Piandao and mastering different types of sword fighting styles. Gyun is a lover, not a fighter, and is recruited as the youngest member of the national opera company. He rises in fame, without having to reveal his high ranking connections to his family members. Gyun is a true renaissance man (you know if the renaissance existed back then). He looks up to all of his siblings and soaks in all the stories and advice his can get to perfect the art of storytelling and acting.

MeiLin (F) Nonbender, 17: MeiLin may be one of the youngest, but she’s definitely the sassiest of the bunch. With the personality like her mother, it’s no wonder she’s a bosslady even from a young age. She doesn’t take shit from anyone. While she’s the beauty of the dunebabies (but who really isn’t attractive in this family?) and can hold her poise better than any royal, from the tender age of three, she’s wanted to become the fiercest fighter in the world. After a lot of convincing, Toph and Aang let her train with Aunt Suki and learn how to fight like a Kyoshi Warrior. After she masters that, She begs her parents to send her to the Fire Nation to study under Mai and Ty Lee. By the time she’s 14, she’s already mastered the art of dagger throwing, chi blocking, and the Kyoshi warriors fighting style. Aang isn’t too pleased that she fights in tournaments like Toph did, but Toph watches every match she can get! MeiLin asks her to bet on her and they split the wealth at the end. Lin wants her youngest sister to join the police force when she turns 18, but MeiLin isn't sure she wants to enforce the law like Lin.

Tiao Wu (M) Earthbender, 14: The baby of the family, and loves it. Unlike MeiLin, Tiao Wu is a homebody and a huge mama’s boy, though really isn’t a mama’s boy in the Beifong Family? Like his name suggests, he’s a great dancer and for an earthbender, he sure is light on his toes. While Gyatso is called Twinkletoes Jr, Tiao Wu is known as the Fancy Dancer. Literally. That’s the stage name he chose for his bending dance competitions. When he’s not dancing or hanging out with Toph, he’s studying his cousin’s bending forms, wanting to incorporate it into his repertoire. Tiao Wu is also close to Aang, as he showed an early talent to be one with the spirits. As a six year old, he would meditate next to Aang and beat the freakin’ Avatar, master of all four elements and bridge between the physical and spiritual world, to the Spirit World. He’s also known to be the only human who is allowed to visit Wong Si Tong’s library there.

ALRIGHT Joy, here are some basic facts about my dunebabies universe. If you or anyone else wants to send me asks so I can more deeply construct their personalities, feel free!
