May 27; Pet Rock

Ship; Pandora x Andromeda (pandromeda/andora)

@marauders-rarepair-fics

It's safe to say that Andromeda really loves her whimsical girlfriend. There isn't a moment that passes where she's not thinking of her, constantly plagued with the brilliant image of her smile, her gorgeous silver hair, the brightness in her eyes.

She only finds herself falling harder when Pandora comes racing over to her, giggling to herself and smiling like the sun, something cradled in hands so soft they had to be made of silk.

"Look, Andy, I've got us a pet." She declares, holding the treasure out between them.

"Is that a... a rock?" Andy asked, completely amused by her antics.

"Not just any rock, Andy!" Pandora says, bouncing on the spot, "A pet rock!"

"How can a rock be a pet, my love?"

"Well, I gave her eyes, and hair, see, made it from gillyweed. Do you think we should make her a dress?" She asked, tucking the green hair back from the rocks lopsided, drawn on eyes.

"Well, for her modesty." Andromeda nods, "I think she'll look lovely in pink."

"You're right." Pandora nodded, "I was thinking of naming her Esmeralda, what do you think?"

"I think Esmeralda is perfect." Andy smiled, no longer looking at their new pet rock, and instead gazing upon the most beautiful woman she'd ever seen, "Perfect."

Pandora looked up with a bright smile, which only turned coy under Andromeda's gaze, lovely full cheeks turning pink immediately, "Shut up, you."

"Never." Andromeda whispered, leaning forward to kiss her girlfriend, finding herself impossibly deeper in love.

Is this a safe space ?

If y'all see me thirsting over a 22 year old maester who puts an end to Daemon Targaryen's reign of terror, I just want us all to agree to not judge others.

[galaxyspark-6e16]

so a bit of an update because i don't think i will post anything viewing the following; university is fine, my pc won't work and my phone got stolen so there's that too, so not a great week soo far

[makiruz]

The fact that gringxs apparently think sticking a chip on an animal normal is disturbing to me; I would never put a microchip on my own body, never mind my cat, who is like a child

[artcorvid]

But seriously, why do we get grown people who believe in the WILDEST conspiracy theories about world control (From Antivaxxers, to Flat Earthers, to microships to evil electromagnetic waves the damn Atlantis and Reptiloids), but the ONE TIME we actually get some dystopian type shit for mass propaganda and controll... they just dont do anything. Like i swear (again), you`d think this would be such a FERTILE ground for the conspiracy fanatics to throw a fit and mass hysteria and DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR ONCE. But nope... they are in fact the ones believing those ai videos and pictures like they are real and reposting them as proof of giants and aliens. If someone started spreading some bullshit like: "The devil is infultrating childrens minds through ai and its evil secret hidden messages boOooOo to put evil spirits in their pineal gland and close their third eye" i would pray for their health honestly... ...Not because i`d think they are insane or anything (they probably are though), but because i`d hope they keep doing whatever they are doing lol...

IT'S RANT TIME

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔:･°❀⋆

The good part about having such a flopped account is that I can take advantage of my own insignificance to avoid the analyzes and rants I promised to do 45 years ago.

Like this one:

That said:

Do you know the difference between a happy family and a broken one? A Max Tennyson.

and thats why Victor and Elena Validus are the most wronged characters in Ben 10!!!!

No shade, but there is a pattern because, not content with being a bad father to Carl and Frank, Max went and removed Victor Validus' right to be a father too!

There are still controversies about what of Alien Swarm is canonical and what isn't, but none of their characterizations have ever been taken seriously, so… 365 so fresh!

OK. Victor Validus is an emblematic character in his own right… A serious symptom of the disease that Ben 10 never really addressed - the complete uselessness of the plumbers and the way corruption has made this institution so dysfunctional and unfair. I like the way the movie acknowledges that Max acted in bad faith - more than once - and how, in the end, he realizes it. What annoys me is that NONE of the serious mistakes made by the plumbers, individually or at an institutional level, have negative repercussions for them in the series. The faith placed in the Plumbers is NEVER shaken, on the contrary, the position of plumber is something to be aspired to even by an ex-offender like Kevin… though the organization is highly deficient, flawed, vulnerable, negligent and inflexible. The protagonists themselves, however generous and “virtuous” they may be, seem oblivious to the recurrence of certain mistakes.

WAIT what does Tennyson have to do with it? For those who have already seen the film, it is self-explanatory, but let's get to the point… Well, the Tennysons are part of the only group in the series that has a level of autonomy in relation to EVERY institution/nation/system/organization/kingdom you can imagine. Often, they even influence them. So much so that from the Poison (Max) Elena saw where she could find the cure (Ben) because if a Tennyson had the freedom to make mistakes, only another Tennyson would fight for the freedom to make it right.

The series has always oscillated between the values attributed to the plumbers and they have always been good at reminding us that appearances can be deceiving, which means that, yes, there is diversity between the perspectives presented, the problem is that impunity has always prevailed.

How many plumbers teamed up to immobilize the Validus? Countless, I bet. How many were censured for failing to investigate, prevent or contain the swarm? Probably none.

“It's a kids' show, that sort of thing doesn't fit the story.” hmmmm… That's an excuse that doesn't stick with me because the franchise took itself seriously enough to explore a series of delicate discussions that reverberate in society to this day. Racism, illegal immigration, deficiencies in the prison system, ethnic cleansing, slavery, the existence of militias within the nullifier, even stockholm syndrome!!!!! In fact, the franchise is constantly celebrated for its “sensitivity”. Please! Some things are just plain incoherent.

Now, isn't it funny how Max destroying an innocent man's life, condemning his daughter to a life of contempt, helplessness, loneliness and stigma, trying to discredit her pleas for help, being the real culprit for the advance of microships through his own omission and negligence, has never been cause for judgment or made him less loved by the fanbase? When I say that the crimes committed by plumbers are ignored by the series… It's because they ARE. Literally. And by extension, by the fanbase. Female characters are judged more for looking down on Ben than Max is for being incompetent.

So let's talk about Elena. Because what they did to her was a massacre.

Yes, it's going to get hazy because UAF inserted a plot twist that shattered the Elena of the movie, but everything about her was more interesting than the series used to allow. At least in the beginning. It's very subtle, but if you think about it carefully, you can see that she was one of the best parallels they made with Ben. Like, seriously, apart from being the only female character who played soccer, she was the plumber's daughter crossing heaven and earth to rescue the parental figure who was supposed to be her protector, she was obstinate enough to face Gwen and Kevin without backing down, intelligent enough to decode the nature of the chips, to know how to attract the only person who could stand up to the queen and conduct an investigation independently. SHE WAS A TEENAGER. WITHOUT ANY SUPPORT. No omnitrix or mana to help.

However, the writers of UAF decided to make two or three episodes about the events of the movie as a form of marketing. And, for some reason, the two episodes revolve around the hormones of a teenager who is highly inclined to commit infidelity after a kidnapping and about how crazy the two characters who are his love interests (including the one who was kidnapped) are.

I DO give it the benefit of the doubt because i was able to extract some very interesting things from Revenge of the Swarm and The Perfect Girlfriend. In both we witness a level of desperation that rarely any character reaches. Also: 1 - We discovered that a lot of Elena actions were the result of devastating, self-destructive grief. 2 - We had the reintroduction of a REALLY dangerous (?) villain. 3 - And I liked her design. 4 - We saw a very strange demonstration of her hunger for connection - and attempts of control that weren't exclusively tied to the old imperialist agenda that always concerned villains like Vilgax or the Incursians etc. 5 - There was self-sabotage. 6 - And to MY delight *though very briefly* Ben and Julie synchronized on one thing: both tried to reach the consciousness of the old Elena at critical moments and both showed genuine concern for her, despite being her biggest targets. So far, these two have been the only ones to do so. How ironic… ⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊

by the way, i have a predilection for some of the elements inserted into the plot of The Perfect Girlfriend, you know, the sounds of Persona (1966) and The Stepford Wives (2004) echoed there, but we don't need to talk about it now. ⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚

but like ... NONE of that mattered in the end. Elena turned to DUST before our eyes. She ends The Perfect Girlfriend saying that they would see her again and then SHE WAS NEVER SEEN AGAIN (does THAT appearance in omniverse count? I don't think it should).

There is very little emphasis on the fact that father and daughter - probably the only family they had - were abandoned by everyone because of the crimes of which THEY WERE victims. Elena had her life stolen from her and was reduced to a Yandere. The queen was never defeated. Those who expelled Victor for a smuggling operation that never happened subsequently showed very little interest in taking any action against the queen or in locating the microships in any way (in UAF, when they resurface) The plumbers? They never really helped with anything. But, for heaven's sake, the end of the MOVIE suggested that things had been resolved. Why untie the knots made in the movie and why, in two episodes dedicated to exploring a love triangle that wasn't a triangle, wasn't love, wasn't anything? The plot twist isn't even the crux of my criticism, but what blossomed from it. Girl, nothing came of it. What was OKAY became UNNECESSARY. For what? Not even God knows.

Well, anyway…

Victor and Elena suffered and died alone, far from those they once trusted. That's what was left for them.

And it's a shame, honestly!

-chinhands- Reeve / Genesis, any age(s)

soulmate au prompts bc I'm trouble: the one where when you dream you’re seeing whatever your soulmate is currently experiencing.

Omg.  Look you. You know how I feel about this ship.  This is not even a rarepair; this is a MICROSHIP.  This is a dinghy that you and I are both sitting in, flailing at each other about.  That's exactly why you prompted this. T_T  

I wanted this to be fluffy so bad. I'm so bad at fluff. Anyway. This is the first part of three. I'll be posting the next bit in about a week. <3

[Prompted from this post.]

Take Me from the Dark (I ain't gonna make it myself) Part 1/3: Dreaming

Word count: 1979 words. Content Notes: Soulmate AU. Characters: Reeve Tuesti/Genesis Rhapsodos. Soundtrack: "Take Me With You," by alixe. & LucidDream. Summary: Soulmates see through one another's eyes when they dream. Reeve and Genesis come of age to have their first dreams.

The dreams started when Reeve was sixteen.  At first, they were brief— just flashes really— glimpses into a life that wasn't his own.  One with grass and trees and people that Reeve had never met.  He knew, of course, that it meant his match was out there somewhere, and that if he was dreaming of apples glinting in the daylight (and he could smell them, crisp and sharp and sweet), it meant his soulmate was probably on the other side of the world somewhere.

It was the only way the time zones lined up, after all.

He supposed it was luckier than most because all too often if soulmates were in the same time zone, they only saw each other's dreams.  At least with the difference, he got to see something more.

Dutifully, every time he woke up, no matter where he was, he wrote down the details that he could remember.  So he wrote notes to himself about parents who shouted over breakfast (and on those nights, he woke with anger so hot in his chest that it nearly burned) and about dark purple apples that shone like diamonds in the morning light and about a boy with black hair who whispered about leaving and going to Midgar.

And he wondered what his soulmate dreamed about.

This munday you're all getting "intro to brodies cats"

First up is the baby of the bunch Elsie (or Greybie, short for grey baby, or Greybus, bc. Well. Size). Chronic food thief, absolute menace, office chair stealer. We had to get $200 each microship reading bowls bc of this bitch. She is my baby where the other two are my husbands.

Next is Shakira, the middle child (or Kira, or Puss Puss). Will not leave u alone for even two seconds. Always getting bullied. My husband got her when he was with a previous partner but didn't consult them so they came home one day to a whole ass extra cat in their house one day. Classic.

And finally is Philippa (or darling, or "Oi you cunt!") who is our eldest. She is the instigator for every snafu and will often bail Shakira into a corner bc she groomed S but S didn't groom back. Will leave the room and then start screaming bc she can't see u anymore

Plus a bonus photo of my husband doing the "3 cat scoop" (spoiler, they hated it). It has only ever been successfully completed & photographed once.

Hi ! I know it's been a while since The Aegis Project has been out but I just discovered it and it was truly amazing ! I finished Angel's route and now I'm trying to get Hex's, but for some reasons I can't gather enough evidences for them to trust me when I try to tell them the truth and get them to help me, would you mind sharing a guide for that ? I searched everywhere online and couldn't find anything, I restarted at least 4 times and the only evidences I found was the receptionist's memory lost and the microship found in the shoulder of the employee that was in a coma (I also told Hex's about how my fiancee died in the Arkwright Tower incident idk if that count) 😭 Thank you !

Ok, so to get Hex to believe you, you need to score 7 or more points in your conversation with them.

You get:

1 point for finding out about the receptionist going missing 1 point if you asked Vicki to investigate stuff for you and she told you the story about a former employee in a coma. 2 points for getting Sandra, the other receptionist, to tell you about her memory problems (either talking to her yourself or getting Vicki to do it) 3 points from getting Atkinson's harddrive, if you managed to get the password (2 points from the 'look at these schematics' option, 1 from the 'Dr Atkinson's death' option) 1 point for the 'explain the DIABLO link' IF you have Suave 60+ (if you don't this will take a point away, so be careful!) 1 point for if you found blood at Atkinson's apartment (from the 'Dr Atkinson's death' option) 1 point for 'make a moral appeal' if you have Justice or Principled more than 75 1 point for 'make a moral appeal' if you found out about what happened to the security guards 1 point for 'just trust me' if your Hex rel is 60+ 1 point for if you've previously been picking a lot of flirt options with Hex

I hope that helps! It's a little convoluted, I know. I wanted chapter 7 to have a lot of payoff moments for things you'd been investigating throughout the game.

Can we all agree ultrons comment about adamantium was pretty dumb in hindsight.

First of all "the greatest worlds scientists" were working in the atom bomb, the shield was made by tony starks lackies in the 40s, hardly a robotics era and it was mostly cus thats All they had. Like if they jad a few decades to experimemt with it they maybe could have made like... a vibranium microship or something.

Also other scientist literally turned a lower tier mutant into one of the deadliest and resilient warriors in existence
