Wait. Wait a dang minute. I have a theory.

So I know one of the discussions I’ve seen floating around is ‘why Theo’. What made the DDs specifically go after this one 9 year old boy, what made him special. And here’s my little take on it.

What made Theo special? Nothing. We know the DDs target kids in bad situations - see; Tracey, Josh, Corey, etc - kids who can disappear for days at a time without anyone raising any red flags, and from that we can assume Theo and Tara’s parents were maybe not great too. We also know they’ve been playing at making chimeras/trying to make The Beast for quite a number of years.

So who’s to say Theo wasn’t just one of another batch like the S5 chimeras? Ten years earlier, starting with younger kids, maybe, and that being The First Chimera is being the first chimera that survived. Why? That’s the fun part. There’s any number of explanations; because he was stubborn, because he’s a survivor, because there was something slightly different in his genetic makeup that unlocked the next puzzle piece in the DD’s jigsaw Frankenstein, because he refuses to die and it adds just another layer to the nuance of parallels between him and Scott. Normal nothing loser kid becomes Something Else and the support system they have in the aftermath structures their entire life.

And the best part is Theo probably doesn’t even remember, just knows that once he was a Success, the First, but that wasn’t quite enough and the Doctors moved on and he’s spent the rest of his life chasing the feeling of being important in the worst way possible.

Something about the idea of Season 2/3 Scott looking at his baby pack at the time with that sweet summer child vibe they had before The Horrors started Happening and going ‘I don’t know what I’d do without you guys’ and then the scene cutting to a sixteen year old Theo murdering some guy because he’s spent seven years being moulded into a weapon to be aimed and fired because he might not have been good enough for The Beast but he was still an excellent tool for furthering the cause.

[lynn-tged-posting]

tged webtoon ep 176 spoilers except its mostly me having a great time bc the panels this week were incredibly fun YAY and thoughts below the cut

.

.

.

oh my god these motherfuckers are up to their scheme again. LMFAOOOOOOOOO LOOK AT THEM HAHAHAHAHAHA

IT'S SO FUCKING FUNNY THAT THEY'VE MASTERED THIS ROUTINE. THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO TAKE TIME TO PREP ANYTHING JAVIER JUST KNEW. THAT'S SO GOOFY LMFAOOOO I LOVE THESE TWO SO DAMN MUCH HAHAHAHAA

also obsessed w javier's expression. whenever he has these moments his expressions are always the BEST because theyre SO MINIMAL. the slightest curl of his lip,,, the menace in his eyes,,, compared to lloyd's expressions, javier's are always technically lowkey, but the artist always gives that lowkeyness an extra edge in the art that completes the entire panel. i love javier's expressions so much WAHAHAHA THEY'RE SO GOOD

LOOK AT THEM BEING MENACES ADLFKJSLDJKF absolute thugs. god it's like when they're together they sync a braincell that tells them to go Scheme mode. they're so ridiculous i love them sm,,, alicia ur gonna have to get used to this LMFAO

ALSO I AM SO SO HAPPY LLOYD IMMEDIATELY WENT TO COMPROMISE W THE SPIRIT KING. I KNEW U WOULD THATS MY BOY ILY BUDDY!! i really like how nice his expressions are here,,, i want to think that there's a part of him in there that's actually genuine abt this. esp w the panels that are upcoming,,,

like he looks so soft here! it's sweet,,, i'm really glad he's doing this,,,

AND THEN THIS. THIS PANEL OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. THIS IS GORGEOUS I HAVE TO SHOW IT

REALLY enjoying all these soft lineart from lighting moments that the artist is putting in. god i love this so much,,, there's a metaphor in here somewhere,,, idk,,, i like this a lot!!! alicia seeing pieces of suho's heart poking thru,,, like sunrays,,,, hehehe sweet,,,, so sweet,,,

i love this panel to pieces but i do think its funny af that in this panel lloyd is crouching like that LOL what a creature ily bud

ALSO. ALSOO lets talk about what alicia's thoughts are here as she's looking at him,,, she says smth along the lines of "ur interesting to me bc i cant figure u out,,," and i love that a lot,,, maybe im looking too far into this but i read this as her saying "im seeing pieces of who u really are, i want to figure u out / explore ur true and honest self". she's learning more abt the side of lloyd thats empathetic, thats selfless, that brings out a good outcome for everyone,,,, she wants to see more of that side of him methinks,,,,, regardless of what she actually meant by this, it's a very cute moment and i really like it,,,

it again makes me think that alilloyd as a ship has soooo much potential. it could be so so good,,, this moment especially helps give it a little ground to stand on,,, i just wish there was a stronger foundation,,, it could be even greater,,, ohhh,,,, maybe in future eps who knows? we'll have to wait and see,,,

also hi artanis!! this line from her caught my eye i wanted to bring it up

im willing to bet that this belief is also one that was sourced from credos/jang-cheol, just like the rock paper scissors game and just the farming/pacifism schtick as a whole. it probably played a part in how he had to convince the demons to follow him in the first place,,,

this could also indicate that living honestly and working to earn is a principle that jang-cheol followed in korea, and he decided that he would stick with it when he became credos. alternatively, he had the complete opposite principle (he was a gamer after all, with a max level character,,, could imply that he spent all his time on the game) but when he got transmigrated, he realized that he had another shot at making a living honestly and decided to commit to that. there isn't really enough to make a solid conclusion on how jang-cheol lived, but this is an interesting indicator and i think it's worth a bookmark! i hope the prequel gets a manhwa so i can read it,,, manifesting,,,

oh also the railroad! yay!! y'know idk if this is quite the preservation of nature i had thought they would do LOL this,,, could be considered manipulating the ecosystem too much,,, but also i am not a biologist! so i wouldn't know! it looks nature-preserved so i'll take it!

seems like the demons won't be too far from home too, since they'll probably be the ones employed to run the railroad tracks once it's complete. lloyd essentially gave them jobs! yahoo!

AND THEEEN THE SECOND REALLY NICE PANEL FOR THIS WEEK YAYAYAYY WAAAAHHHH LLOYYYD LLOYD

i will be honest the glare is pretty uh. harsh but i dont mind at all bc YAYYY YAYYY NICE MOMENT WITH LLOYD YAHOO YAHOO. he seems and looks super tired here too,,, one of the panels before this was his heart freezing up again and alicia asked if they should stop bc of his heart, but he refuses,,, ghhh,,, stupid fucking martyr i love you stop doing that though please take a break

this panel is again another alicia pov panel and i really really like it,,, he's so Sun character to me idk how to explain that (javier is Moon to me). maybe ill break that down in a different post another time but yeah,,, yeah,,, sun and moon,,, yeah,,,,,,, also alicia is Comet. one day ill elaborate

and then there it is, goofy lloyd panel HAHA there's the greedy front he always puts on, welcome back! alicia's reaction too LMFAOOO she's sick of his antics /lh

like bud u dont have to say anything else,,, we know u care lloyd u dont have to put up the money part at the end anymore,,,,,,, goofy ass

their lil moment here was also rlly cute,,, alicia laughing at lloyd's antics and just. his big ass smile HAHAHAHAH so so cute i love this a lot,,,

and then the railroad got completed YAYY YAYYYY YAYYY ONE STEP CLOSER TO A HAPPY ENDING!!!

lloyd got like a jump ability and according to my mutuals thats not in the novel? so im curious as to what thats for,,, lloyd says it already but yeah he's a swordmaster now and has tons of other skills and summons too. what would a super jump be useful for,,,? so far, most if not all of his skills have had some use in the story,,, skills that are deliberately brought up like this are always used eventually. what in the world will a jump skill do??? what kind of situation will lloyd find himself in?? is this not almost over??? i'm so curious,,,

also this panel lloyd looks really tired, exhausted even,,, his irises look dulled and theres slight bags,,,, the construction plus the effects on his heart is probably doing him in,,,

and then we see him keel over LAKDFJLSDKJF

I GASPED SO LOUD WHEN I SAW THIS AND IM NOT SURE IF ITS OUT OF WORRY OR IF ITS OUT OF GIDDY. bc listen, on the one hand, oh my god im so worried for lloyd please be okay dont DIE. on the other hand,,, on the other, fic-brained character interaction-pilled hand,,, WHUMP WHUMP WHUMP CHARACTER WHUMP WHUMP MOMENT HURT COMFORT. YAHOO FIREWORKS EVERYONE CHEER!!! WHUMP!!! WHUMP IN MY TGED!!! WAOWIE WAOWIE WAOWIE!!!

sorry. my demons. anyway

alicia catching him is so good,,, sweet,,,, so sweet,,,,, ANOTHER POINT FOR ALILLOYD. again i wish the foundation for alilloyd was stronger, bc if they had established it in a better or more solid/connected way this moment would hit even harder,,, BUT NO,,, its missing impact for me simply bc alicia and lloyd do not talk/share/save each other enough. but it's so cute,,, sweet,,, this moment is nice,,, ghhh,,,, i feel heartbroken over this its bittersweet

and off they go,,, yes,,, a queen, her boyf, and her boyf's boyf. beautiful. alicia is carrying him again hehe,,,

off they go to get the eye of summer!! YAYYY!!! lloyd will stay alive!!! YAHOO!!! we are one step closer to beating fate and getting that happy ending,,, hold on lloyd, hold on everyone,,, it'll be over soon! if they don't get a happy ending i am going to cry and sob for forever and ever!!!! i'm serious!!!!!!!!

i genuinely had a lot of fun reading this ep the moments were all so fun and i'm very glad that things are looking up for them,,,!!! this does also worry me that there's going to be one more final obstacle before we actually get their good ending. bc now that i think abt it, getting the eye of summer does save lloyd but it doesn't stop fate,,, so,,, there might be more trouble ahead. but i'm not gonna worry about that right now!!! i'm coping!!! i'm coping.

that's all from me tho,,, i have to get back to the school grind,,, i'll see y'all next time!!!

[measurelessdreamer]

One of these scogan Post-X-Men: Days of the Future Past fics where Logan changes things so everyone from the original timeline is alive and he’s back at the school and about to find out somehow that he and Scott are a thing in this new timeline, but first, after Logan is done explaining himself to Charles, Scott is charged with showing him the way to his room and they talk sort of but not really and all of a sudden they both hear a very happy “Dad!” screamed through the hallway and they both turn and there is a little girl of age four (or more), smiling and running towards them and Logan doesn’t get it because he hasn’t seen her before and he had no idea a child so young could even be at this school and someone here is her father but who? Cyke himself? And he’s about tu turn to see if someone else is standing behind them when all of a sudden the girl slams herself against his legs with such force that it wavers his stance for a moment and surely she hurt herself just now because there is adamantium on his skeleton and there isn’t any on hers and she is only a child after all but then he looks at her and not only is she completely okay, she is also staring at him and she is smiling and as much as it doesn’t make sense, it slowly dawns on him and just as he is about to accept it, the girl lets him go and then hugs Scott, more gently but with no less amount of affection and Scott is affectionate right back but he is also trying to send her away. Only for a moment, though, so he can talk with Logan, and the little girl frowns and doesn’t like it but caves in when he promises to get her some ice cream and Logan doesn’t get it yet again and as if it wasn’t already bad enough, the girl finally smiles again and nodds and then she says, “Thanks, papa!” and runs back where she came from, leaving Logan so awestruck it feels as if he’s a mere breeze away from losing his balance.

I know this is just a silly bad quality random screencap of a screencap that I found on facebook lol, BUT it's a succinct enough image to easily describe the concept in a quick/accessible way hopefully :

-

(and of course, feel free to elaborate in tags, etc.! (especially elaborating about other senses as well.. can you "hear" in your mind just as well as you can "see"? taste? etc.) It's an interesting topic to me, as someone who's like a 4.5 at MOST lol. I'm curious what option will be the most common :0c )

[thus-spoke-lo]

You kneel before him, hands clasped in prayer, desperate tears staining your cheeks. There is something inside you—something wicked, something voracious, something that makes you radiate a desperate heat—that needs to be purged, or else you fear it may just overtake you, may just consume you whole. Your pleas are rambling, anxious, tinged with guilt; you know not what possesses you, but you must cast it out, for fear of what you may do to satisfy it if you remain beholden to it.

The priest licks his lips as you beseech him, the scent of your most unholy need beginning to fill his lungs. You look so glorious in your frenzied state, your chest heaving with staccato breaths, hands shaking, eyes darting around the room, settling anywhere but on him. His pulse quickens at the sight of the vulnerable creature before him, a fragile lamb led astray, in search of grace that only he knows how to provide.

He bends down and places a hand on your heated cheek, wiping away a stray tear as you hiccup and sob; he gently shushes you, implores you to trust in him, to trust that he can heal you. His thumb traces over your trembling lips before parting them, before sliding inside your warm, wet mouth, and he stifles a groan as you close your lips around it as if on instinct, as if driven by a power greater than yourself. Perhaps, he thinks as you finally meet his gaze, you can both find piety in the profane.

Tonight, you shall find the salvation you seek, and the ravenous hunger that vexes you shall be satiated.

Guau, ella es bisexual, i didn’t know that!

Vico and Fátima being little disasters, as usual. In ENG and SPA of course, tho imho the dialogue is always a little funnier in Spanish B^]

Imagine Fatima’s surprise when seeing that the captain of the baseball team from her old high school, is now being cunty at the supermarket???? The nerve. The audacity.

In reverse, imagine the horror of being openly queer but NOT knowing if the girl you’re interested in is Aware or even remotely Okay with your

💖gender thing.💖 How to even begin to explain???

dream & george; falling in love

Dream: 'Have either of you talked about liking each other in the past?' George: *Scoffs* Dream: ... Well— George: *Giggles* Dream: Well, none of the answers fit. But I'd say, like, we've talked about 'whether' ... George: The weather? Dream: Yeah.

Dream: The realisation that, once again, I met someone that's not going to be my friend, but something more. They were never meant to be my friend in the first place. I can't avoid it. If I'm going to fall in love, I'm going to fall in love. So this song is a cry to please be gentle, please don't make me even more paranoid.

Dream: I want that part of my life to be private, you know? Regardless of who that person is ... Once the cameras are off, once we're not doing anything, it's our time. It's me and you. There's no one else. No one else exists in the world, regardless of the fact that there's thirty-million people that are looming over.

Dream: Because I'm famous and because I have all this attention on me—when I'm in my normal life it's like, I want to put the people in my life in the spotlight and make sure they feel that way. But then there's lyrics like 'the celebrity in my bed' and 'close the curtains now you're all mine' ... It's about, you know, that special someone in your life, and how in my mind, because I feel so special, I want them to feel that same specialness. So, yeah, it's about relationships and how I want that person to feel special like I do.

dream @/dreamwastaken: .@/GeorgeNotFound you've had such a big impact on my life I don't even know where to start. helping me code my videos sometimes, helping with random ideas within videos, encouraging me and always being the light in the room to make things even just a little bit brighter. you took a chance on me out of university, making thumbnails and coding for scraps because we wanted to make it big and I’m proud to say that we did it and I’ll have an appreciation for you for the rest of my life because of your friendship, kindness, and love you’ve shown me. love you man. idc if you’re never serious or if we joke around a lot, you have a place in my heart and I’m looking forward to finally meeting you and taking our next step in content creation and friendship. LOVE U

Dream: 'Spotlight' is a song I wrote about making that special someone in my life feel as special as they truly are ... I want to be there to support them through the ups and downs, and make them feel like they have a million fans screaming cheering them on, even if it's just my voice echoing a million times. They are the most important person in the world and the only one in that spotlight of love and admiration, and I want them to know that.

a lot of my future is your future

Huh, I didn't even realize it'd been a year since BG3 came out until I opened tumblr this morning. Kinda wild. I didn't think much of the game's release: I like Larian's games, and I like the BG series. I wasn't ever going to skip the game, but I didn't think I'd play it at launch because I was busy working on a novel in 2023 and not doing well financially.

Thankfully, circumstances left me with a little bit of extra money last year just before launch and it meant I could spend on a video game. I needed a pick-me-up after said 2023 novel failed to go anywhere, and BG3 was right there. Like most CRPGs, I played it in basically every moment of free time that I had and did as much as I possibly could in one playthrough.

It's so odd how these small happenstances can snowball into coming back to fandom, finding some friends I might've never met otherwise, and writing a lot of fanfiction along the way. I'll probably have something more interesting to say/share when it's the 14th, AKA when I sat down and wrote my first fic for this fandom.

Anyways, it's been a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to more years to come 💜

WIP Wednesday

Tagged by @hanseelie and tagging @yloiseconeillants @lilbittymonster @airis-ray @accidentaloracle (with absolutely no pressure if you don't want to)

It's my birthday month so happy Muireann and Hien being Completely Useless (they literally get their shit mostly together approximately half an hour after this but there must be one more Misunderstanding first. for my health) It's something I've been picking at for forever but hasn't made its way on here yet

--

Every small movement he made to avoid her was a needle prick on her heart and she held fast to them. All the better to put these feelings to rest. It was clear that they were not a good fit despite the ache in her chest. Even if they were, duty had them bound to opposite sides of the star.

When she had exhausted all other avenues of delaying the inevitable task of tending to his face her hands shook while folding the cloth to be more manageable. She felt ridiculous. She had flirted with countless people and cleaned the face of many that she cared about. And this, this was not flirting. She was not flirting with Lord Hien crown prince soon to be king of Doma. She was wiping the less heroic parts of battle from his face so that the people looking to him for confidence and hope saw just that. As she had done many a time for her fellow adventurers and Scions alike. She knew he had the strength he was grasping for, twas just a matter of making sure he felt that same strength.

And in this instance, it required touching his face.

Twelve preserve her foolish heart.

She tilted his face up towards her, her right thumb brushing over the beard on his chin a fraction of an ilm before she stopped it.

She felt his breath catch as he finally met her gaze. She couldn’t say how long they stayed like that. Locked in place with a great big invisible something between them. Unsure whether it was tempered desire or discomfort, she was content to live in the charged uncertainty. To indulge the hope, if even for a moment.

The happy yells of a family reunited across the Enclave broke her bubble of hope as Hien adverted his eyes again, though his head stayed in place – chin resting on her curled fingers. A dangerous memory that would haunt her she was sure.

“…I’ve run out of places that aren’t your face.”

“I – ahem – it is very much in your capable hands.”

Screw it I'm curious, would your normal family au have like it's own story compared to the base game like "oh instead of this, this happens" (you don't have to infodump all that if you don't wanna, I'm just curious if that's the case)

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!, again sorry it took me so long to answer this

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR INTEREST, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT <3

I'll try to summarize this as best I can, because if you give me free rein, I'm capable of doing 5 whole bibles in here.

Basically, A Normal Family AU is a divergence from canon, which is set years long after the final of the original game.

The plot revolves around Bow, (who in this au is a 15 year old teenager), who upon finishing middle school where it was mostly cats in cookie's (the name by which the people refer to cooking cat in my au) hometown, sees how out of place she felt there, even though there were not only cats there.

Then, seeing that her eldest daughter, Hat, (with the help of her mustached wife wink wink), will open her own business in our earth (because AHiT's earth and ours are different) in which the dominant population are humans, she decides that the best thing for Bow is for her to go to high school there, and that's basically what the au is about.

Bow trying to have a "normal" life in our earth while her family is.... not the most normal /silly

This au has this ummm slice of life(?), sitcom(?), found family(?) vibes or similar like that lol

I'm still working in the lore because i want to adapt it to comic, so i still have a lot to do

Sorry if my writing or the plot is confusing augh, I tried to summarize it as best as I could, if you have any questions, want to know more or even suggestions, you can ask me‼️

[bobbinfire]

Sorry I didn't post any art this last weekend. So instead have a short story I wrote during that time

(Totally wasn't originally supposed to be a comic. Totally haven't been sitting on this idea for a month. Totally is not a 13,000 word one shot I wrote in-between homework in a little over a week for my first ever fanfic)

Anyways thought this would be fun to post on Dias De Los Muertos

Summary:

What do you think happens when a spark breaks? What happens to the bot that houses it? Do they cease to exist? Or do they continue on, shedding whatever emotions go with the parts of the spark that falls away.

Perhaps the broken halves fight for dominance in the frame. The winner shutting the other out. The host left unaware.

But this story isn’t about the winning half of the spark. The one that won the war. No.

This is about the half that lost.

[theofreakingbell]

great piece on the work the LA Mask Bloc and others have been doing (in a city threatening mask bans!) and the ways ignoring COVID in the present is tied to wider government neglect in disaster and not, by someone who has been following the 'post COVID' policies here for years:

also. my local group in north california had organised sending thousands of donated masks via a volunteer driver and they arrived in LA the day before the mayor, who tried to BAN MASKS like six months ago, even recommended citizens wear them. I am terrified for the many people who will get permamently and even deathly sick from air they weren't even informed they needed to protect themselves from, let alone supplied with timely protection from if they couldn't afford it themselves. an aquaintence in COVID safety organising in LA who brought donated air purifiers to a displaced people shelter who had none had to beg them to even use it. I've lived in wildfire zones all my life and NEVER have I seen this level of ridiculous resistance to common smoke protection we have used my entire life from government and individuals until COVID was declared over and they were determined to put on the face of an invulnerable normal that does not exist. I am so angry for LA + surrounding areas right now y'all deserve so much better

You can donate to Mask Bloc LA and Clean Air LA through the linked options on their linktrees if you are able to. they have passed out over 43,000 masks so far! (here is an article about them in Mother Jones)

if you're in the area they have also been co ordinating volunteer air purifier builds and mask distribution on their instagrams so check those out as well ❤️
