#and with a side of shipping course-

[datattertots]

Hey! Since I really like your AU, I want to ask you a question if you allow me.

What were the reactions of the others when they realized that Smg4 was like this and how did they act towards Smg4?

Of course! I was hoping to get some ask on this au, so I'm glad u did! :)

They all react in a mix of shock, fear, confusion and worry.

Meggy and Smg3 being the most worried about Smg4, while they try not to show it, they are probably also a little fearful and acts a little more cautious around him without meaning to

Luigi and Mario are mostly confused, while also being a mix of fearful and worried, they try not to draw too much attention to it, since smg4 seemed more comfortable that way so unless something happens they just brush it off

Boopkins and Tari being the most shocked and anxious and are the most awkward and noticeably jittery when around Smg4

Bob and Swag were shocked but are already preparing countermeasures, just in case...

Something about the inherent Lest/Maddie parallel that exists in Arcane S2—each of them the honeypot relaying the pillow talk of the clueless aristocrat they're sleeping with back to who they're really loyal to—and the way it reflects how Mel learned more from her mother than she likes admitting to herself (or than Ambessa ever gave her credit for until the very end) because, on the surface, they both use the same tactic to keep an eye on their potential rival.

And yet! Mel's compassionate treatment of Lest (a trans woman sex worker who she considers a genuine friend, is protective of and willing to accept criticism from, and who she refuses to consider expendable) contrasted to Ambessa's contingency plan with Maddie (a radicalized fascist who she converted into an asset by convincing her she was a more effective leader than Caitlyn and who was, in the end, eminently expendable) is one of the starkest illustrations of just how different Mel is, and how much better a leader of the Medarda clan she's going to be.

Neuvillette going from being frustrated and slightly annoyed by Furina, only to end up being down bad for her, and Furina never noticing him due to her anxiety and self loathing is the FUNNIEST way that their relationship could turn out.

These two are the characters of all time

“Oh the age gap was too big I aged one of them up/down so they’re the same age”

YOU HAVE SHOWN YOUR WEAKNESS! YOU ROLL ON YOUR SPINELESS BACK AND EXPOSE YOUR COWARD BELLY IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY! I DONT HAVE A SHIP WITH AN AGE GAP OF LESS THAN A DECADE! GIVE THESE MIDDLE AGED MEN A TWINK AND SOME VIAGRA AND THEYRE READY TO GO!

“oh but intrulogical would be toxic if they dated” “oh but roceit despise each other” “but this ship would be bad” you are talking about the aspects of a 35 y/o man’s personality. the ships are not supposed to make sense. learn to have some joy and whimsy and make those ‘enemies’ kiss

I've had this sitting in my drafts for a few weeks, as I thought it might be poor taste to make a jokey poll about a second (third? fourth??) USAmerican civil war; but my curiosity will not be denied!

"Are you gonna feed Curly his meds? He really suffers without them..."

The irony of Anya's statement and that Curly arguably suffers more with the medication but it gives them, and arguably Anya, the peace of mind that he'll quiet down, easing their emotional suffering.

Thank you.

"RIP to KaiShin shippers" this

"My sincerest condolences to the KaiShin nation" that

FOOLS! You think it will stop us or prevent us from shipping KaiShin?

I won't lie, the revelation hit us badly but we will rise like the phoenix, stronger than ever, and keep shipping them and making and enjoying content about them, no matter what movie 27 revealed.

The KaiShin nation will go on!

Y'all really like the Smokes and Magnus posts!

So obviously you're getting more!!

Due to Smokescreen coming into the picture later than in canon, the last key is kinda... Lost, to both factions. No one know who this guy in the last set of encryptions is. All they know is that this guy is very important and likely knows the location of the last omega key (how on earth does the rest of the omega key/lock plotline go if smokescreen isn't there?? surprisingly close to canon, but i'm still working out all the kinks)

Arcee and Jack get to meet Ultra Magnus, who Arcee knows and respects, and tumbling out behind him is- That's the guy from the omega key stuff!

Magnus is very confused as to how everybody seems to know his little buddy when his little buddy knows exactly none of them personally.

So- Breakdown and the phase shifter are kinda with Optimus at this point in time (no, breakdown does not get to steal the possible next prime position from smokescreen) But!! When Breakdown and Optimus later rejoin the Autobots, Smokescreen will get his preferred relic of choice. (in the meantime, magnus has a whole arsenal he can use as he pleases)

Oh, and, apparently, Wheeljack likes none of the new Autobots. The first is Breakdown, for very obvious reasons, the next are Magnus and Smokey. Ultra Magnus because he already hates him in canon and Smokescreen because Smokescreen is clearly very close to Magnus and respects him. They're besties! These new guys are not fun in his opinion. And he likes reminding all of them about this. (well, he enjoys reminding magus and bd. with smokes, well- smokes will look like a kicked puppy if someone is too mean to him. instead, jackie teaches the kid to gamble. it doesn't end well)

Does Breakdown want to punch Wheeljack? Kind of. Very much so. But he's an Autobot now and besides, some of Wheeljack's ire is deserved, they were enemies for a long time after all.

this might just reveal things about my own personal taste, but I feel like mxtx is at her best when she's writing a relationship that is absolutely fucked. just a real psychosexual freakshow. the love was there and it made things worse. guys falling in love with the person whose demise they're supposed to be orchestrating. that sort of thing.

Virgil: Hey Jan, can I have a Pepsi?

Janus: What did Logan say?

Virgil: He said no.

Janus: Then why are you asking me?

Virgil: ‘Cause he’s not the boss of you.

Janus: *whispering* It’s a trap it’s a trap it’s a trap....

I wonder how Hanma feels about Kisaki's... everything with Hinata and Takemichi. That's supposing he knows of course but after twelve years you can't tell me he doesn't have his doubts. Especially since they seem close, just with the kisaki's bedroom art where hanma is eating chips on his bed. And everything about chapter 205? Hanma's depression after Kisaki dies? The unknown explanation to why he was following Kisaki around? The man screams unrequited gay crush.

And obviously we know nothing about his upbringing or the reasons that made him be the way that he is (headcanons go crazy). But I'm a sucker for tragic love stories and this one is just hilarious: Hanma being in love with Kisaki who's in love with Hinata (and Takemichi) while Hinata loves Takemichi who loves her (and hates Kisaki). Something something the frontier between love and hate. Love square anyone?

Finally watched TADC episode 4 and Zooble was the GOAT of this episode

Doing their job when no one else was, caring for their friends, driving Ragatha home, showing Gangle that she is cared for and welcomed and appreciated, this episode really showed a great side to them!

Also I liked that they were the one to talk to Gangle at the end- since they’re closer to her, it makes more sense for them to be the one Gangle listens to, plus Pomni finally got a break this episode.

I love shows like this where every character interacts, not just Everyone Interacting With The Protagonist.

Also off topic but I am continually amazed by the animation

Patton in that one video: What do you call a fake noodle?

Remus:

Patton and Remus: An impasta! :D

Janus: That’s pretty funny…

Janus: …

Janus, remembering that snakes are associated with noodles and also he frequently steals people’s identities: hey wait a goddamn second
