I hope you don’t mind me asking (and please feel free to ignore if it’s too nosy!), but I am so intrigued by your choice to pair Adar with Celebrimbor in your fic (and did you invent SilverScars per chance? I'm not sure of the origin of this ship 🥰). 🖤✨

As they never met or interacted on screen, I'm so curious about what inspired this pair and this dynamic.... Like what made you think of it in the first place🤔💭

Excuse my curiosity getting the better of me, but I'd love to hear what sparked your gorgeous story! 💬🌿🛠️🩸

★·.·´¯·.·★⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆★·.·´¯·.·★

Hiii and hello! Thank you so much for your question (and your kind words about my fic!), @varda-star-queen, and no worries, I am always down for talking about silverscars! :D

Starting with the easiest bit - while I am very flattered by the thought, I didn't invent the ship nor its name! The first fic that I am aware of about these two was written by @plotdesigner and is called 'Hand in Gauntleted Hand'. The shipname itself came after, I got asked this question by someone else before and collected my 'research' in this post. (situations like these are when I am glad for my tagging system! XD)

As to why I ended up thinking of this pairing and began to ship them, and write about them, I think I saw so many parallels and similarities between them that got me; they both died the same season (though of course I still hope they might bring Adar back in the future), both of them through Sauron and rather painfully and tragically. They both don't have partners, they are leaders of their people, manipulated and used for Sauron's means. They both ended up resisting and defying him in some way, too, whether by (seemingly) killing him and freeing the uruk in the past, or by refusing Sauron's demands, and even Adar's decision to turn away from war and violence can be seen as resistance imo.

There are also differences that I found interesting; Celebrimbor likely lived through a sped up version of (some of) what Adar went through in the past under Sauron. One is the sole heir of an influential, famous elven family, the last of his line, the other is a nameless, former elf with no ancestors that we know of, first of his line, with many children, whether literally or figuratively. (To me it almost feels like a 'past and future' presentation.) Celebrimbor was named by his parents, Adar chose his own name. Celebrimbor is held in high esteem and founded his own city, Adar has to fight for the right to survive and have a home for his children, leading him to found Mordor. Adar founds Mordor in s1, Celebrimbor has his home destroyed by the end of s2.

(Also, I wasn't super versed in Silm lore when I started the series, but learning more about Celebrimbor's family history has only added more points to this; both of them must have lived through countless battles in Arda, perhaps even experienced the same ones from different 'sides'? And there are multiple references to Feanor in the series, with Celebrimbor's actions and deeds often being weighed and compared against those of his grandfather. Meanwhile, Adar is held responsible for and associated with Sauron and his cruelties. Influences they, likely, cannot so easily separate from and try to overcome, by besting Feanor and disavowing Sauron respectively.)

It's an intriguing combination of similarities and differences, to me at least.

And on a more personal level, my thought was that, if they met, a post-Sauron Celebrimbor might look at Adar and see the things he himself has just suffered and survived, and might therefore find a level of understanding and empathy for Adar that other elves might not reach; after all, if he has been manipulated and driven to create the Rings of Men despite his better judgement, someone else could have similar (and worse) happen to them as well, couldn't they? (He readily worked with Elrond and the dwarves, didn't have any reservations against Halbrand, showed understanding towards Galadriel.)

Meanwhile, Adar might see (a version of) his own past reflected at him, similar to what he did with Galadriel in the tent, though with Celebrimbor's experiences being different than hers. I imagine Adar might be able to help Celebrimbor move on from and overcome his trauma and guilt due to his own experiences and knowledge, give him guidance, and an understanding other elves may not be able to give Celebrimbor, due to not having endured the same thing.

I suppose that is the main thing that drew me in - in a sense, their individual experiences with Sauron serve as a connection between them, even if the two never meet on screen. (One might even argue that Sauron pits them directly against each other, via the siege.) Therefore, these experiences might work as a base from which they could build mutual understanding, empathy, and perhaps even more.

(Which, I also like the implications of that in general - that people who come from very different walks of life can recognize their similarities, set aside their differences, find comfort and connection in, and empathy for, each other after surviving awful things, help each other heal, and become stronger through this mutual kindness, affection, friendship (and more).)

And, as for what intrigues me about them being in a relationship - I think it is again a mix of similarities and differences. They both have elven roots. They are both leaders to their people and care about them, they have their own realms (though at different states, with Celebrimbor's either being finished or destroyed, and Adar's in its infancy), they are very driven when it comes to what they consider important. Celebrimbor is a craftsman, Adar has mostly known the fight for survival and is a fighter. Celebrimbor is royalty, Adar is not. Adar might be significantly older than Celebrimbor, the two have very different experiences of what happened through the ages.

It provides a lot of potential - for growth, understanding, drama, banter, humor, fluff, angst, healing, character studies, friendship, romance...

(As a sidenote, I also gravitate more towards m/m ships, which likely factors into this. Plus I think the fact that neither of them have canon partners in the series might have made me go "Oh look, wouldn't it be neat if they had someone as well?")

That being said, I could likely ramble even more. There is just a lot about silverscars that speaks to me, both when it comes to the individual characters and their potential as a ship. I hope that answered your question? I'd love to know!

(And, if anyone wants to add onto this post with their own impressions or ideas, I'd enjoy hearing them! <3)

So what’s the main idea for your Nightmare x Blueberror ship? :3

Oh.......... Oh there have been developments (ramblings inside me and my friend's dms)......... FIRST I think the shipname should be called nightshade, after the poisonous berry. It's fitting. The main idea behind it is that Nightmare has his crush on Blue. He meets Blueberror (who in my Multiverse, is Blue from a timeline that went differently. Not a different AU Blue, but diff timeline), and, well, he can't help but still crush on him. He's still the gentleman knight of his dreams. Blueberror knows all too well what it's like to be seen as a villain. To be bullied. He's made his peace in the Omega Timeline- sure. But, he knows how people look at him. He feels the guilt. Nightmare sees what he's been through. He can't help but sympathize. Nightmare is one of the few people who has treated Blueberror with respect and dignity- no pity. Blueberror makes Nightmare feel that there might be some hope for the Multiverse.

"C'mon, Geppie! The ice isn't getting any thicker out here!"

He knew that. Serval knew he knew that. Everyone else at this blasted festival on the lake knew that, but it did not make his knees feel any less shaky as he tried to pull himself up onto his feet.

In all of his time on Belobog--or Jarilo-VI as the outworlders of the Astral Express informed him this planet was called--Gepard had attempted ice skating... maybe three times? Two of which where when he was a child, and the third being right now. And of course the only reason he had even come out to the lake in the first place was because he had been dragged here by his sisters, and one thing led to another and now he was here, trembling from the uncertainty those two flimsy metal blades strapped to his boots instilled in him.

"Coming!" He called, knowing damn well that he was not going anywhere but down once he let go of the fence that had been installed on this end of the frozen lake.

This was probably going to go the same way the last two attempts had gone: Gepard was going to keep a death grip on this fence until Serval skated over, egged him into letting go, skated away, and he would lose his balance and his shoulder would hurt for the rest of the day. He made a mental note to try and not fall for it this time.

"Well, if it isn't Captain Landau!"

Oh, Aeons, no.

Gepard didn't even have to look to confirm who had decided to come over and heckle him. Right there, on the other side of the fence, with his feet planted firmly on solid ground, was Sampo. That smile on his face might fool some, but Gepard could see the mischief dancing in his eyes as he leaned over the section of fence right beside Gepard's trembling hands.

"Finally taking a day off?"

The Captain huffed, his breath billowing like dragon smoke in front of his mouth. "You wish. I may be out with my family, but that does not negate my respons--"

"--'Negate my responsibilities as a Silvermane Guard.' Of course! No one here doubts your dedication!" Sampo clasped his hands together. He must think himself so non-threatening, but Gepard knows that that posturing only means that he's playing docile until he can find some trouble to cause when no one is watching.

"What is it that you want, Mr. Koski?" Gepard asked, inching further along the fence, trying not to think of how he'll have to let go if he wants to get past the rascal accosting him.

Of course, Sampo played hurt right away, actually standing up straight to put a hand on his chest to communicate just how directly the Captain's words had struck him. Gepard took his chance to shuffle across the ice some more.

"'Mr. Koski?' Still? After all this time, my friend?" He followed Gepard with his head, letting him get about a foot or so away before moving to walk alongside him. "Don't you think we're past the formalities by now?"

"Not exactly, no." Gepard turned his head to look back out across the ice. At the other end of the lake, past all the other skaters, was his sister, completely oblivious to his plight as she skated alongside a woman in white with navy hair. He was glad she was having a good time but some help would be appreciated--

Sampo followed Gepard's gaze out onto the ice. He could care less who or what the Captain was actually looking at, and found himself more concerned with how he was looking out at the ice in general. He was looking at it. Not skating on it. And even with his gauntlets on, it was clear that Gepard was white-knuckling it with this wooden fence.

"Do you not know how to skate?"

Gepard's ears turned even redder than they had been from the cold. "I don't need your help."

Sampo waved his hands dismissively, that big smile breaking across his face again. "Oh, please! It would be my honor to teach you!" Before Gepard could protest, Sampo was already high-tailing it over to the little booth offering rental skate attachments. The Captain didn't have the energy to fight this. This was just going to be his fate now--learning to skate thanks to the man he wanted most.

In jail. The man he wanted most in jail. He wanted to put Sampo in cuffs and get him off the street, not--

"I would've used my own, but you know, they're all the way back home." Sampo held the rental skates up by the straps like a prize fish, letting the iron dangle and catch the rare sunlight that cut through the atmosphere.

"And that would be...? Gepard wobbled up into a straighter position, resting his weight on the front teeth of his own skates so he didn't go sliding sideways onto his ass.

Sampo hopped up onto the fence and started to buckle up his shoes, making sure the straps were good in tight before he swung around to get onto the ice. "Well, Captain, that depends on how well you listen to my instruction! Luckily, you're in good hands."

Gepard grimaced, hoping it would distract from the burning feeling in the tips of his ears and the back of his neck.

When Sampo offered his hand to lead Gepard off of the fence, the Captain hesitated, but upon some reflection and the reminder that it was he either tried this or be delegated to The Fence for the rest of the afternoon, he figured he would just bite the bullet and give it a try. No harm in trying, right?

Sampo smiled wide again, and for once it seemed to actually reach his eyes. "You won't regret it, friend! Now off we go!"

He pushed off the ice and took Gepard along with him, clutching tight to his arm so he didn't go tumbling face-first into the solid ground beneath him. Regardless of whatever he said, Gepard knew this was going to be a long afternoon.

Get to Know Me- Tag Game

@jungkoode thank you for tagging me ❤️ Kiks original post

I'll try not to over-overthink my answers. But I don't like choosing favorites, I love duality, I need to have both sides of everything. So there will be multiple answers for each question.

What’s the origin of your blog title?

I have a mug with cat pictures that says 'you've cat to be kitten me right meow'. I say it a lot. I like how it sounds. I don't know. Maybe I'll add a photo.

Koopps is sort of an anagram of how my husband and I sometimes call each other. And I like how it sounds.

Favorite fandoms:

One piece. JJK (tho sometimes I can't match the fandom freak). HxH. I'm not too deep into any fandom, I like to dip my toes in everything. In some, I like fanfic, and in others, I'm there for fan art. Depends.

OTP(s)/shipname:

Sanzo. I love my moss head and my cook.

Ace and I.

Favorite color:

I'm originally a pink girlie, but I like anything pretty, girly, pastel, and aesthetic. I dress mostly in natural colors/black, and my home has a neutral aesthetic with pops of color and colorful art.

Favorite game:

Lately, I've really gotten into Kirby on Switch. And I spent HOURS on Supermarket simulator with my husband. But my all-time favorite is probably Heroes of Might and Magic 3.

Song stuck in your head:

I can't choose one, but those are the songs I listened to on repeat in the last days/weeks/months/years.

'Would I Lie To You?' by Charles & Eddie. It's a problem. I listen to it ten times a day lately, or I'm not okay.

'Put Your Records On' by Ritt Momney. It's giving me my tae fic OCs vibe, I listen to it and daydream about them.

'Persuasive' by Doechii & SZA

'Tequila Shots' by Kid Cudi

'Love Really Hurt Without You' by Billy Ocean

Weirdest habit/trait?

I hate fruits. Can throw up only from smelling them. I'm very sensitive to scents and I hate how they smell. I need to hold my breath at the supermarket when I go by the fruit section.

Hobbies:

Cooking, baking, reading, writing, drawing, embroidery, pottery, anything creative basically.

I also love bird watching, hiking, and being in nature. One of my favorite activities is snorkelling. I live by the beach, but there's not much marine life here, so I need to travel for it.

If you work, what’s your profession?

software developer / devops

If you could have any job you wish, what would it be?

I love what I do. It gives me stability and a comfortable life. It also challenges me, requires me to use my brain, and requires me to constantly learn new things. And as much as I hate some days being a woman working in a male-led field, I find a lot of pride in it. I think it's important for women to work in those fields.

But leaving realistic thoughts aside, I'd love to live on a farm on a hill in Tuscany and have lots of animals. Or live in a beach house on a beautiful island. And just bake, and draw, and write my little stories.

Something you’re good at:

Cooking, baking, and being creative.

Problem solving, analytical thinking.

Something you’re bad at:

A lot of things. Like running, singing, having a father figure, finance.

No, but seriously, I try not to focus on what I'm not good at. It's not good for my imposter syndrome (women in stem thing, you know). You don't have to be good at something to enjoy it, and you don't have to do something you're not good at.

Something you love:

My husband. My sisters. My cats.

Something you could talk about for hours off the cuff:

Everything lol. I love to deep-dive into everything, especially if the other person knows what they're talking about.

But I can talk a lot about psychology, neuroscience, everything biology, evolution, art, birds, lizards, anime.

Also, talk with me about my man. I dare you. I won't shut up.

Something you hate:

Stupid people who talk with confidence about things they know nothing about.

Spiders.

Something you collect:

My husband and I have a nice growing anime figures collection (we have like 4 Zoros and zero Sanjis, which is a shame). I love cute kitchen utilities. I try to expand my art collection. I mostly like nature-related illustrations; I already have some birds, flowers, and a blowfish.

Something you forget:

Plot ideas that I swear 'there's no way I'm going to forget because it's so good and genius and fits them perfectly'.

And I forget people's faces and names.

What’s your love language?

giving - acts of service, gift giving, physical touch but only with my husband.

receiving - ACTS OF SERVICE, quality time, words of affirmation.

Favorite movie/show:

My favorite anime are HxH and 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime'. One piece, goes without saying. For Marvel, I really loved Moonknight.

I love the Kill Bill movies and '10 things I hate about you'.

Favorite food:

Anything Italian, chocolate, sweets, carbs, good bread with butter, French pastries. A lot of things.

Favorite animal:

Cats.

But also sharks, whales, turtles, komodo dragons (tho I didn't get the chance to see one irl), iguanas. I won't start to list the birds I like because we won't end this.

Are you musical?

No. I love listening to music. But I can't play any instrument, and I should never sing.

What were you like as a child?

Too good. Too mature. The overlooked one. The kind that 'she's good, she can take care of herself'. Shy, quiet, artistic. I'm healing through doing 'childish' things as an adult and stopping taking life so seriously.

Favorite subject at school?

Math, biology, chemistry, art.

Least favorite subject?

Probably gymnastics because it was lame and boring. I hated being sweaty afterwards, and that people smelled like sweat.

What’s your best character trait?

Sensitive and logical. I think I'm a very sensitive and emotional person, which leads me to care and give a lot of love. But at the same time, I need logic and order; it pushes me to work hard to have a good, comfortable life.

What’s your worst character trait?

Sensitive and logical. I take things personally, I overanalyze every social encounter I have. I overthink whether people around me actually like me. I'm very critical of myself.

If you could change any detail of your day right now what would it be?

Not much. Pretty standard, good day. I'm just a little tired, so maybe a little power nap or better sleep at night. And maybe if by some magic, the shit-tone of work I have to do was already done for me.

But if we're doing fantasy, maybe I want to be on a beach vacation with my husband.

If you could travel in time who would you like to meet?

I don't have a good historical figure in mind right now. But maybe some famous artists? Like Van Gogh? See him in action?

Recommend one of your favorite fanfics (spread the love):

I can't do one obviously, so I'll just drop a few of them.

Fuck Me Up by @jungkoode (AKA writer-wife)

Yes, I'm biased. I don't care. The fact that I know the writer is an amazing, smart, sensitive person just makes reading it even better. The attention to detail, the story, the realism, the smut, all of it, is on another level. And if you haven't already done so, check her other fics as well.

What Was Hidden by @daechwitatamic

I don't know how many times I've read it by now. It's my comfort fic, I can't even explain why. It's so easy to read in the best way possible. The storytelling is so good, the writing is on another level. I HIGHLY recommend. (If it's your first time reading it, I recommend leaving the tae pov parts to the end, as they might give you spoilers.)

Two Point Five by @bratkook

There's something so refreshing about this fic. Something between the fun writing and the change from the usual fic tropes. And this JK is so hot. And the smut.

Chasing Cars by @oddinary4bts

Read it only if you're ready to cry. It's an emotional journey, but it's so worth it. The story itself is really good, and the characters make you fall for them. I still want to hug this JK and tell him everything is going to be okay. The fic handles some very sensitive, emotional topics in a very intelligent and delicate way (check warnings before reading).

If you see this and you want to play as well, see yourself as invited ❤️

COCOA HELLO! I REQUIRE UR INPUT SHJSHJSHJ

i'm so severely attached to these two (catnap and dogday) and i just wanted to know which ship name you usually use or just refer to them as? i've seen: catday (the one usually used) and catdog? though i'm not there might be others:p

idk if it's just yk ship drama from the fandom but noone really ship tags it so i don't know what the shipname being used is:'D?

feel free to disregard this question if you see fit or it makes u uncomfy btw! have a nice day and ty for sharing ur pretty art with us<3 very omonom/pos

HELLOHELLOHELLOHELLO - oh dear, ship name for these two, mhhh. I have been posting my stuffs on twitter mostly atm and ive not seen any shipname in tags tbh, i always see them tagging #dogday #catnap and thats all :0 I see some people using dognap/catday on this profiles but idk, i think we dont have an official one at all I call them "catdog/dogcat" jokingly asfds

ahyesshipdrama, its actually kinda going around but us artists are kicking those people away

glad you like my dummies sketchys <3

[starrycloak]

you know how platonic m¡leven is called elmike? idk i feel like we should have alternative platonic shipnames for other popular pairings that some folks might enjoy only as friends

some of these might already exist but i think they haven't caught on-

Lucas and Max could be madclair

Nancy and Jonathan could be jonance

Dustin and Suzie could be henderham??? know where besties?

if you see this and come up with a groundbreaking, catchy name for platonic!byler, you're a star.

[tanketorskk]

Sorry if youve explained b4 but why did you name your shipes those names? :0

I don't think I've covered that so far? Not all of them were made up by me tbf, most of them came from @literallysleepy but I'd be happy to explain them! I've not mentioned them all on here I think, but I'll cover what I've got. Obviously there are some we didn't come up with you I figured I'd just include them all

Cosmiccreation/Xenophilius x Pandora: A reference to their hippie-ish attitudes (a common headcanon for them in general but especially in aus) and the creation is based off of Pandora's occupation as an inventor. I have seen quillseer for this two as well, the quill from Xenophilius's occupation as an editor for The Quibbler and seer because it's a popular headcanon that Pandora is one, but since I don't follow that headcanon it doesn't make sense for me to use that shipname. If I see a shipname with seer in it, I'll likely think it's for Sybill

Crownest/Severus x Igor: It originally started as Crow's Nest but obviously it doesn't fit with the way a shipname is usually written. A crow is a dark bird (obviously) and then a crow's nest is also a structure in the upper part of the main cast of a ship, so there's the dark bird for Severus and then there's the bird in reference to Igor as well and then the ship is a reference to Igor and him being from Durmstrang and the fact that they travel by ship and all that

Flowerpot/James x Lily: Just a fun name for jily, really, I know it's not used as much but yeah,,, Lily=flower, James=Pot(ter)

Ratseer/Peter x Sybill: Peter's animagus is a rat, Sybill is a seer.

Rosekiller/Barty x Evan: Rose comes from Rosier and killer is just,, well it's Barty and he's a murderer so like,, yeah rosekiller

Seabunny/Charity x Igor: Similar like how a crow's nest is a thing on a ship, the sea comes from Igor's connection to Durmstrang and their chosen mode of transportation aka a ship sailing the sea. The bunny part comes from Igor calling Charity "Bunny" as a nickname because she's bunny-like in his head. She scrunches her nose when she smiles and laughs (like a bunny nose twitching), she's very bouncy in general, and during sex she'll thump her foot in the air like a bunny

Starchaser/Sunseeker/James x Regulus: Regulus is a star, James is the sun, chaser and seeker are common headcanons for their quidditch positions. James is chasing the star aka Regulus and Regulus is searching for the sun aka James

Starrynight/Aurora x Severus: It feels a little self-explanatory, but the starry comes from Aurora and her fascination with the stars and night comes from Severus and him generally

Whitecastle/Lucius x Narcissa: It's a reference to their light palettes and their high status

Wiseprince/Edmund Jr x Severus: The Avery family is represented by Barn Owls and owls commonly symbolize wisdom, hence the wise and Severus's mother's name is Prince and it's been used for his half of a ship name in other ships. These two were also called emofaggot for a while lmaoooo cause,,, Edmund's a faggot and have you looked at Severus?

Wolfstar/Remus x Sirius: Wolf=Remus, star=Sirius

This was super fun to go through, I'm honestly surprised no one asked before! Cause like in my head they obviously make sense but yeah they might not to everyone else vfnbjgnbjg

getting to know your mutuals 💁🏽‍♀️

thank you to @stelly38 for tagging me 🥰 i am very slow 🧍🏽‍♀️

what is the origin of your blog title: my blog title is "that's a beautiful thing to do" and it comes from the line, "you waited for me...that's a beautiful thing to do." which is in a movie called "a crime" from 2006, starring norman reedus. my blog is whatever i'm obsessed with in the moment (obvi lolol) and for a long while there i was mostly a walking dead blog and me and all my friends on here were obsessed with watching norman's absolutely bonkers filmography. anyway his character is a man called vincent, who's wife is murdered by a taxi driver (??) (it's been awhile idklol) and his neighbor is in love with him. and she waits for him ect ect. apparently i made gifs of the scene. (and good god, look at those old gifs 💀💀)

why is this my blog title? i literally couldn't say. i liked the line and whenever i went to change it, it looked weird with it gone. it's the same thing as my icon. i can't change it from ariel, it looks wrong 😂

otp(s) + shipnames: good god, buckle up 😩 (all of my main ones are probably on my ship edit list in my navigation, so people can look there.) but, for a general breakdown, i guess i'll start with the ones people know this blog for best:

jon snow x sansa stark (jonsa): my great loves.

the best fic, the best vibes. the complimentary arcs. the longing gazes and heavy breathing in full view other people? when they absolutely shouldn't be longingly gazing and heavily breathing in full view of other people?? because, um, they think they're siblings?? like...these two gotta calm down, it's borderline indecent.

i've never in my life read more meta for a ship and most are just brilliant. the way that these two echo each other throughout the story (both show and book) is just stunning and, because we don't actually have them in the books, yet (george, george please) just the imagined potentials of how they might interact and grow together in the original format is just so fun. (well, tragic and trauma, but fun.)

there's more elegant and substance built things to say, but for this i'll just say: perfection. y'all know how i feel about jon and sansa.

daryl dixon x beth greene (bethyl): the foundation.

again, the walking dead was my first legit fandom hold, here on tumblr dot com. like, all of my followers came from this era lmaoo. when i say daryl and beth are the foundation, i mean, like, at one point there were six of us in this fandom. people probably existed outside of tumblr, but on this hellsite there started with six of us and i actively remember us choosing what name to go with for their ship name andfdklsgkdfljghfdk. (i did have a soft spot for deth 😂😂)

i've never been a member of team d. (but, hey, shoutout to team d! 👋🏽) but, i legitimately sobbed during her last episode. it was so out of nowhere and so poorly done and i was absolutely miserable lmaoo. and i still solidly believe that these two are soulmates and should have been the next couple on the show. and that bitch ass robert kirkman destroyed everything 😀

buffy summers x spike (spuffy): don't even get me started.

legitimately, do not get me started. these are a foundation of my soul, to be quite honest. like... i think almost my whole life? has been spent loving spike and buffy??

this dynamic is so wild and complex. buffy summers and spike, individually, are two of my favorite characters of all time. (actually all of these ships are top characters, for me, which probably shows why i've loved them for so long). i feel like spike and buffy is not a ship for the weak, like, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. there is a lot of rain. but the journey they go on from enemies, to reluctant allies, to friends, to enemies, to friends, to lovers, to enemies, to friends, to soulmates. it's a ride. it's a long ride.

and very few ships could go through this arc, especially the low points of their relationship, and come out on the other side still being evvvvvvvverything. and they are. everything.

klaus mikaelson and caroline forbes (klaroline): don't piss me off.

the vampire diaries (and the originals following right along behind it) piss me right off 😂😂😂😂

this is another perfect example of literal gold in the writers hands that was absolutely squandered. a girl who no one ever puts first and is desperate for a boy to see her and choose her -- to pick her first -- meets an over a thousand year vampire who sees her and instantly falls at her feet. gold. perfection. absolutely thrown to the side for (coughs) mediocre replacements. (i love stefan, but boy, get someone elSE!)

i'll never forget that forest scene. to both win and lose in one fell swoop 😩😩 insanity.

jess mariano and rory gilmore (literati): okay, now this? this c-sand origin story.

i could scream. i could cry. rory and jess are simultaneously the greatest thing in the world and the absolute worst. my greatest love and my greatest trauma 😭😭 they're another lifer ship, for me. but, they also suffer from one of my most hated writers paths: incredible build up and subsequent back burner.

watching the build up of their feelings for each other; from his introduction in season two, to early mid season three -- it's so well done. they're obsessed with each other!! i'm obsessed with them!!!! dean gets to suffer!!!! and then they finally get together (in an absolutely iconic episode) and the writers then regulate their entire relationship to primarily off screen interactions 🧍🏽‍♀️🧍🏽‍♀️ we are simply told they're really great together and spend all of their time together, being a good relationship. before it's decided that "actually, jess could probably lead a spin off show" and they tank the whole relationship by making him essentially stop talking to her. and they do it on screen.

when you tell us they're great for their whole relationship, but don't show us them actually dating, and then SHOW US it falling apart -- it gives the impression it was a terrible relationship the whole time and it waSN'T.

(and it's so sad, because it's her only relationship where they decide to not actually...show the....relationship, once they together. hate asp for that.)

frank castle and karen page (kastle): i swear to god, if these two don't ever get together, i'm gonna jump.

first off, i run the @kastlenetwork, so that should probably give you an idea and what's going down with me. so.

daredevil: born again is about to drop and if these two. don't. interact. i need more longing looks. i need matt to hear their hearts racing. i need frank castle to stop being a punk and pushing my girl away. i'll keep this short. love them. i run a network 😂😂😂

ross poldark and demelza poldark (romelza): welcome to the club!

a new addition to my addictions. shout out to this beautiful walking perfection, that is demelza poldark and her husband ross, who i often want to punch in the face, but still love despite that. god, he pisses me off, but, he always brings me back in. the power of a dumbo man, i guess 😩 i barreled through this entire show in an embarrassingly short time.

if only this man could realize he has literally ZERO chemistry with a woman named elizabeth, the ship would have a lot smoother of a sail.

aragorn x eowyn (arawyn): i'll fight someone, i do not care.

i do not care. love arwen. love faramir. lovely. love those relationships. swell. aragorn and eowyn? this is it. i live in a whole other world where this is what thrives and i can be happy 🥰

💗there's so many more, like sookie and eric, jackie and hyde, lucy and flynn, zuko and katara, declan o'hara and me. but, i am rambling oh my god.💗

favorite color: my favorite colors and green, pink, purple, and brown probably.

song stuck in your head: the other day, i remembered that i like mumford and sons.

and also:

weirdest habit/trait: ummm, this is the kind of question that i have no clue how to answer. i feel like nothing i do is weird, even if it is to other people. anything i do feels normal, to me idk.

hobbies: trying to read and not take eighty months to finish my book. fluffing around in photoshop making sets. watching movies/tv -- my sister bought me a projector screen for christmas, so i watch everything huge. trying and failing to paint nail art onto myself.

something you're good at: maybe baking. sort of painting, i guess. not talking to people. pretending to laugh when members at my job think they're being hilarious.

something you collect: good pens, physical media of movies and shows that i love. apparently game of thrones funko pops, as long as they're jon or sansa. one sided enemies and rivals.

something you forget: the sentence i was about to say. the thing i was about to google, two seconds prior. the one thing i reminded myself that i needed, at the grocery store.

what's your love language: i guess acts of service, idk 😂😂

favorite movie/show: legitimately impossible.

avatar the last airbender

gilmore girls

bleach

lord of the rings/the hobbit

poldark

buffy the vampire slayer

smallville

that 70's show

friday night lights

the walking dead (seasons 1-4)

greek

game of thrones

house

moulin rouge

on and on and on

favorite animal:

cats. house cats. big cats.

giraffes

monkeys

bears

what were you like as a child: probably more talkative, i'm sure.

favorite subjects in school: art and english.

least favorite subjects in school: all math classes.

best character trait: ummmmmmmmmmmmmm

worst character trait: probably my disinterest in other people's liveskjdhfjkaldhfkdshfkjh like, if my coworkers keep going on and on about the same things, every day, all day -- i just totally zone out. couldn't be bothered.

if you could change any detail of your life right now, what would it be?: the list is endless.

if you could travel in time, who would you like to meet?: the idea of having to expel energy for time travel, at this precise moment, makes me want to go to die.

(this is the part where i say i have no clue who to tag, umm @esther-dot @riahchan @carry-the-sky @onhersleeve @consultingviking idk, you can do it or not 😂💗)

[urautismdiagnosis-wistie]

Guide/Masterpost and introduction

Figured I should make one of these so here we go, I'm Wisteria but u can just call me Wisty or Wistie! ^v^

btw if I dont follow u back its because this is a side blog and not my main blog, and I dont wanna share my main 👍also just to clarify reblogs are cool but reposts arent

Idc about pronouns just don't call me he/him lol

I joined the octonauts Fandom like right at the start of 2025, and im just into making art and au's for the octonauts but ill occasionally reblog stuff about animal facts or character tropes lol

My main au is going to be tagged "Misty Memories au" for now

Some other tags u can use for my blog include:

Misty memories comic (for the official comic itself)

My art (anything that I've drawn, from mini comics, main comic updates, etc)

Character design (my character design art for the octonauts characters+ ocs that often include lore about the character)

My comic (parts of my main comic for misty memories)

Yap post (any post that I either made or added onto and talked alot, these may have lore for Misty Memories)

Octo headcanons (these are usually silly posts that might contain some art, but 100% has different (usually) lighthearted headcanons about character dynamics, habits, past, and etc)

Wistie responds<3 ( anything that i respond to from my ask box, so if u asked me a question anonymously and haven't seen a response u can check that tag! Also I might just take 1-2 business days to respond cuz I'm a slow processor or might be making art for an ask that just happened to inspire me:> )

Cryptid Kwazii AU (an au ill probably post about later in the future lol there's nothing under that tag)

Octo lore: specifically lore posts

Not my character (art and etc that contains other peoples ocs)

I'll add more tags if needed

Also feel free to send me asks! You can ask me anything about octonauts or my au! U can also request art but I cant promise ill make it, at least not right away anyways lol

I guess DNI and general rules under the tags?

Also if ur the type to hate on minorities or people with mental disorders and disabilities please don't bring that energy to my blog. I will also not tolerate anyone who isn't supportive of Palestine.

I also don't want people arguing over ships or whatever under my posts, if yall have beef please do it someplace else. Please do not involve me in any Fandom drama that may occur I do not need the anxiety or stress.

This blog isn't for drama, hate, political issues, or anything else. This is meant to be a safe space for me (and anyone else who happens to like my art) to enjoy octonauts and maybe the occasional animal fact post.

If there are irl issues that I dont post about its because as mentioned before, this isn't what the blog is for and also because I have anxiety about posting/reblogging about certain topics.

Don't approach me with the intent of a romantic relationship.

I am an adult but I dont feel comfortable with sexual comments towards myself or my artwork. Saying u think a character is hot or wtv is fine but no weird comments.

Do NOT repost my artwork even if you credit me. If anyone sees that happen please let me know.

Some of my art will contain trigger warnings, any artworks that I feel are more likely to be triggering (such as those containing blood) will be put under a tag such as "tw blood". If you see that any of my artwork of posts contain triggering topics I haven't tagged please let me know.

Idk if it'll ever happen but if anyone wants to draw their own art for my au that's fine, just make sure of ur drawing art that is associated with my comic (aka using my character designs or plot points) to give me credit 👍

I dont wanna sound egotistical or assume but like ig I should mention that cuz I've seen other artists talk about it lol

also IN MY AU MANY CHARACTERS ARE ARO OR ACE ASPEC

This includes captain barnacles and kwazii! I ship them as a queer platonic relationship or QPR. So its fine if u tag my posts with their shipname-

But please understand i don't feel comfortable with their relationship being seen in a sexual/highly romantic way, at least not for MY AU.

I dont care about what other people ship but please don't force social norms about romance and etc onto my aro ace depictions specifically, thank you.

My au is very important and personal to me, so purposefully twisting it to something else just because u don't like mental health depictions or aro ace experiences is kinda yuck yk?

If u wanna share ur own thoughts and etc in comments then thats fine, I love that stuff, but I just DONT WANT TO SEE

"LOL hes not even autistic though" or " they are so into eachother just make them kiss already" or ANYTHING of that sort

Okay sorry if this bit sounded aggressive or whatever hrjrhdnsbskdnf I love to hear different interpretations but I just can't stand ablism and etc

Tagged by @johnmarston

(it got long sorry, hence the cut)

What's the origin of your blog title?

VIOLA O'BANION MY SPIRIT ANIMAL AND SASSY NO CHILL PROHIBITION ERA MOB WIFE. i love her.

my partner in crime @deanobanion made a few posts about her back in the day. check 'em out if you want to know more: [x] [x]

and here's a headline that needs no further explanation:

OTP(s) + shipname:

because i just spent the last 5 minutes looking for my favorite Viola posts i'm gonna say Diola (Dean/Viola) even tho it haven't really been active for like forever.

Favorite color:

GREEN 💚

Song stuck in your head:

Lately it's been "Girls" by The Dare, but it changes all the time. My taste in music is pretty eclectic.

Weirdest habit/trait:

How dafuq would i know what's weird about me?? To me it's not weird?? Fuck off 🥰

Hobbies:

Gifmaking, crochet/knitting, daydreaming, checking out grocery stores I've never been to aaaaand I'm planning on getting back into playing piano again but I my slow ass hasn't gotten that far yet.

If you work, what's your profession?

I'm an archivist, but I used to be a florist.

If you could have any job you wish, what would it be?

Idk man making gifs fulltime on tumblr dot com perhaps? Altho I hate the idea of turning your hobbies into something profitable, as the pressure that comes with it kinda ruins the fun for me.

Also, I enjoy judging people's lives and companies' actions on a daily basis at work, through the information I get file on them. Not to mention having first hand access to all the goss! So maybe I would just stay on as an archivist (but I wouldn't mind a higher pay and less annoying colleagues).

Something you're good at:

I might be biased here but I think I'm pretty funny. I'm good company. And I'm good at baking. And making basic gifs.

Something you hate:

This one is gonna be niche, but for those of you following my wee Anthony Boyle sideblog you already know.

Anthony Boyle's mustache and/or beard. It's a no from me 🙅🏻‍♀️🤢

Something you collect:

It seems I collect mugs???? I have a lot of them and I often buy one when I'm at a new place.

Something you forget:

The end of my sentence when I'm halfway in. Makes me feel like I have early dementia 🤡

What's your love language:

Getting angry on your behalf. Or ranting together (I guess someone would categorize that as "quality time"). On a more serious note I love physical touch, even tho I'm not very cuddly myself 🤡

Favorite movie/show:

SHREK 👩🏻‍⚖️

and Pride & Prejudice 2005, Boardwalk Empire, Succession, Atonement, Three Wishes for Cinderella, Derry Girls, Poirot, Mindhunter, The Knick, Catch Me If You Can, The Terror, The White Lotus, Marie Antoinette, The Substance to mention a few others...

Favorite food:

I'm gonna be a basic bitch and say pizza. Pizza is never wrong💖

Favorite animal: Cats.

What were you like as a child:

Shy, socially awkward and impatient/angry 😘

Favorite subject at school:

Math, arts & crafts, Norwegian, history

Least favorite subject:

P.E. or whatever doing various sports while the teacher were grading you based on your mediocre efforts and skills is called in English.

What's your best character trait?

Time to brag again, issit? Aight 🫡 I'm pretty chill. I like that about myself. I'm also pretty good at having conversations floating from one idea to another without ever really maknig any conclusions. I love exploring ideas.

What's your worst character trait?

People will say it's my low levels of empathy. I don't think so 🤡

If you could change any detail of your life right now, what would it be?

Now, some of y'all are gonna find this provoking. Consider yourself warned. Materially and mentally I feel pretty ok, but... I wouldn't mind being a little (a lot) skinnier. I don't think people who's never been my size or bigger understands what it could do to my life. And to anyone wanting to convince me I don't need to lose weight based on some principle they stand by: Kindly fuck off 🥰

If you could travel in time, who would you like to meet?

I have absolutely no fucking idea. It's like asking me what celebrity I would like to meet. I don't want to meet any. I'm an observer. I don't interact with people. Next question.

--------------

Tagging: @springsteens, @cutebottledspider, @aneurins-barnard, @jamesfrain, @redbelles, @greengableslover, @zablife

[songsformonkeys]

Get to know your moots!

I didn't actually get tagged but I saw @fromthedeskoftheraven had done this and it looked like fun so I wanted to answer these questions too 💖

What's the origin of your blog title? I don't fully remember the exact reasoning behind it. But I used to have an old writing blog that was called wordsforbananas so maybe it was just a twist on that?

OTP(s) + Shipname: Jayvik is my latest OTP crush. I'm also very fond of Steddie and Stavier. For some reason, I can't think of any ship OTPs that are actually canon atm. It might be because the slow burn fan in me often loses interest a bit once the characters actually get together unless the creator has a clear plan how to keep their relationship interesting beyond the pining.

Favourite colour: Orange and green

Favourite game: I adore the Unlocked! games. It's like a fun escape room in a box.

Song stuck in your head: Messy - Lola Young. I saw a video of a cartoon cat singing it and the lyrics of the chorus fit surprisingly well. So now I've been singing it all week.

Weirdest habit/trait? I'm trying to think of something but every weird habit that comes to mind is just very mild on the weird scale. Like sometimes eating carrots like a corn on the cob or preferring fake plants to real ones in my home. I like for my friends and loved ones to pick out my perfumes so I can think of them every time I wear them, but I don't think that counts as weird.

Hobbies: Reading, writing, sewing, daydreaming, secondhand shopping for cool clothes, building lego, and a bunch of other stuff that catch my attention for a week or two before I move on.

If you work, what's your profession? I work at a hospital. Mostly with pain management and gastrointestinal issues.

If you could have any job you wish, what would it be? I'm quite happy where I am now. But if I were to switch, I would probably want to work with Doctors Without Borders.

Something you're good at: I used to be quite good at archery but I haven't done it in a bit so not sure if I still am. I think I'm pretty funny, and I tend to stay calm in a crisis.

Something you're bad at: Cooking. Horribly bad at that. And I have no patience when it comes to waiting for things that excite me. I am also a world-class procrastinator.

Something you love: My family and friends.

Something you could talk about for hours off the cuff: This might make me sound like a bit of a gossip, but I love talking about people. Not in a mean-spirited way. Just catching up or talking about cool stuff they've done. For example, I love listening to my mother tell me about what the people back home have been up to (even the ones that I barely know) and telling her about what's new in my friend's lives. It makes me feel connected to people even if they're not physically close.

Something you hate: small-mindedness and when people get judgemental over things that are harmless.

Something you collect: Fandom trinkets, cosplay outfits that I rarely have an occasion to use, clothes, pretty stationery, and anything that'll make my home cozy.

Something you forget: ...is it ironic that I can't think of anything atm. I think I usually have an okay memory.

What's your love language? I never know if this means how I show love or if it's how I want to receive it so I'll answer both. I show love through Touch (but don't always like it when others touch me) and words of affirmation. And I feel the most loved when others give me words of affirmation (hello praise kink) or acts of service. It makes me feel taken care of and loved.

Favourite movie/show: Favorite movie: The Fall. Favorite show: too many to count. Currently, I really like Arcane.

Favourite food: Sushi

Favourite animal: Cats

What were you like as a child? A bit of a loner sometimes. Not very shy but just introverted. I loved reading and spent a lot of time doing that. I was very responsible and looked out for my little sister and her friends a lot of the time. I had one close friend that I hung out with. We watched Disney movies and baked cookies.

Favourite subject at school? Any language subject. I also really enjoyed PE because then I could run around and play sports with my classmates and I was decent enough at most sports. Hated long-distance running though. Found it boring and pointless. Still do.

Least favorite subject? Math probably. I did not like that there was a definitive answer to things and that I couldn't talk and bullshit my way to the right answer.

What's your best character trait? I think I'm a good listener and a loyal friend. And I like that I can usually make people laugh.

What's your worst character trait? I think I can get a bit distant sometimes. Especially when people message me. There's something about being available at all times through my phone that just rubs me the wrong way and I think the messages sometimes become a reminder of that (even if there's rarely any pressure from the person messaging me that I have to reply right away). And I know that sometimes I take that too far and wait too long to reply.

If you could change any detail of your day right now what would it be? I'd like to find a way to procrastinate less. I find it sometimes keeps me from doing stuff I would really enjoy.

If you could travel in time who would you like to meet? My great-grandparents on my mother's side. They seemed like such badass and fun people, and I've heard so many stories about them.

Recommend one of your favourite fanfics (spread the love!): I am absolutely in love with the Sweet Series by @oonajaeadira. It has excellent writing, Javi G, an amazing reader character, and all kinds of softness. Anyone who loves Javi will LOVE this series.

I have seen plenty of these post floating about on my dash so many of you have probably already done this but if you see this and haven't, think of this as me taggging you :)

GET TO KNOW YOUR MUTUALS 💋

Tagged by my beloved @violaobanion ❤️‍🔥 Thank you my boubou.

What's the origin of your blog title?

I’m a Richard III (the Shakespeare psycho boy) girlie. I love antagonists and anti-heroes as a general rule and well, he’s my boy, my blorbo, as the youth say. Richard is referred to as a bottled spider and my favorite interpretation of Dick (so far) was by Arthur Hughes *shocked gasp* and he’s very cute, so... Here we are, cutebottledspider. 🕷️

OTP(s) + shipname:

I don’t often ship characters but when I do, I do it hard. The hardest is Shardlake/Barak, from the Shardlake book series and cruelly cancelled TV show. Also, Richard with anyone.

Favorite color:

Black 🖤🕷️🐈‍⬛ ⚫️ (it is a color, I will die on that hill.)

Song stuck in your head:

I don’t have one rn but if I had it would probably be something by the Chemical Brothers or some Vladimir Cauchemar flute filled track. Also love me some Charli XCX and a ton of other stuff.

Weirdest habit/trait:

Not suuuuure. I guess wearing sun glasses inside sometimes when I’m alone and no one’s here to call me a weirdo lol. Also, I vomit quite often.

Hobbies:

Rather recently started making gifs and it’s addictive. Otherwise, reading, keeping a common place book, messing about on my computer (I love notion, obsidian and keeping up to date with front end dev in general). I used to love writing but I’m having a hard time doing it recently.

If you work, what's your profession?

Graphic designer and occasional front end dev (self employed).

If you could have any job you wish, what would it be?

Beach bum. I’m just glad I get to work in my pyjamas.

Something you're good at:

I don’t know. I’m not brilliant at anything imo but maybe I’m wrong.

Something you collect:

Nothing. I don’t like to have a lot of anything.

Something you forget:

Lol, everything, all the time, especially words.

What's your love language:

Feeling like people know you and knowing people in return, as in noticing and remembering little things and trying to understand even when it isn’t easy. When someone says « I know you » and I feel like it’s true, I feel all fuzzy. Paying attention and seeing the little things. It matters to me. Also I'll stuff you with waffles until you puke. I’m toxic like that.

Favorite movie/show:

There are way too many but I guess the most timeless things for me are Succession, It’s always Sunny in Philadelphia, Curb your enthusiasm, Back to the Future, Fight Club, Twin Peaks, LoTR trilogy, All about Lily Chou Chou, and I love anything with fucking Leslie Nielsen. There’s probably some stuff I’m forgetting because it also depends on my mood.

As for more recent stuff, I loved the Substance, quite enjoyed Nosferatu, looooved Ripley (Andrey Scott my beloved) and well, I thought Shardlake was an okay adaptation and deserved more that one season. It was an extra special treat to have an actor I adore play two of my favorite characters ever. And Antony Boyle (phroar) was a perfect Barak. The casting was the best thing about this show.

Favorite food:

Favorite animal:

Cats and Dogs. Also rabbits.

What were you like as a child:

Quiet and shy.

Favorite subject at school:

None, hated school. Being done with school was like being born a second time.

Least favorite subject:

Above all, I hated P.E.

What's your best character trait?

I’m rather generous I think. Maybe. I tend to be a glass half full person most of the time (don’t count PMS lol)

What's your worst character trait?

When I hate, I hate hard. Also I might be quick to judge sometimes. Also it’s only bad for me bu I eat my feelings andI get easily addicted to various things.

If you could change any detail of your life right now, what would it be?

I’d want to be skinnier and more athletic. In better physical condition as a general rule. Also can someone pay for permanent hair removal for me? It’s okay, you can PayPal me.

If you could travel in time, who would you like to meet?

Shakespeare I guess. Also I’d want to see what my parents were like when they were young. I feel like my wee mom would have been adorable.
