Spencer Reid x gn!reader

A/N: been gone for a hot minute due to personal circumstances but just wanted to drop a lil something (that anyone who watches Doctor Who will be able to tell I started writing a BIT ago given the references here lol) to let you guys know I’m still kickin it <3

warnings: slight hint at an age gap but nothing specific

A Smile

You can imagine the rest of the team would be floored to hear that Spencer has actually exchanged texts with you on a multitude of occasions, outside of professional settings. Numbers were swapped on your first day, naturally, and to begin with you only dared text Spencer if you had absolutely no other choice (if another member of the team could text him, you’d busy yourself to ensure they would, rather than ask you, to save you the embarrassment). But, ever since the first occasion that you texted Spencer a random question out of hours - regarding trivia you definitely hadn’t spent a concerning amount of time deciding on before you sent it to him - you have formed a bond that’s unspoken beyond typed words.

You: so, are you looking forward to the 60th Anniversary? :P

As you hit send, you roll onto your bed, grinning giddily down at your phone. In no more than a few seconds, your screen tells you that your beloved genius is already typing back to you, and within a minute, you receive the paragraph you’d anticipated.

Spencer: Absolutely. The revival of Russel T. Davies’ era, coupled with the return of Murray Gold’s legendary scores, are sure to ignite the spark of nostalgia that the show has been missing for some time. In particular, I am looking forward to seeing how Russel will format this new regeneration of the Doctor, and how many references to his predecessors will decorate the anniversary episodes, especially. I take it you are excited for the anniversary episodes, too, hence the question?

His formality and enthusiasm being conveyed in a way that is so distinctly Spencer, even over text, is enough to have you giggling. You know by now that if you ask something about one of Spencer’s interests, whether it be facts, statistics, generalized trivia, questions, literature, Star Trek or, in this case, Doctor Who, there is no way he can downplay his excitement.

You: knew it! :D and yeah, I'm super excited!!

Mostly, you are thrilled by the thought of discussing the episodes at great length with Spencer for weeks after they’ve aired, but you keep that safely in the subtext of your conversation.

Spencer: Of course you knew. Perhaps we could share a live commentary on the anniversary episodes, if we’re not otherwise engaged with a case?

Only Spencer Reid can make your heart stop with a suggestion like that. Before you can consider any consequences, you are frantically typing back to him.

You: I’d love that! will the commentary be by text or call?

He is typing the moment your message reaches him, his ability to read at what you consider to be the speed of light making for a wonderfully speedy texting partner in every conversation you have.

Spencer: Either is fine, but if we aren’t away on a case, I must admit the idea of experiencing the episodes together in person would be most preferable. It eradicates the risk of our viewings not being synced up or our call connection potentially spoiling the immersion. What do you think?

And just like that, he’s stopped your heart again. In fact, you truly have to consider whether Spencer Reid has figured out a means of reaching through his phone to yours, to snatch your heart right out of your chest. As though he hadn’t already stolen it on the day you met.

You: I think you’re right, like always, Doctor Reid :P

That’s a rational reply, you think. Not too eager. Not the resounding ‘yes’ that every fiber of your being is screaming. In the chess game that is how-to-text-Spencer-Reid, you have marked yourself as the queen. He’d tell you that’s not how chess works, but he’d probably also agree.

Spencer: I’m far from right “always”, but I very much appreciate that you think so.

You’re about to reply, when another text appears on your screen.

Spencer: (:

Doctor Spencer Reid has double-texted you. And, not only that, he’s sent you a smiley face. This is unprecedented. Your jaw drops.

You: omg you did not just send that

Honestly, your life is flashing before your eyes as you lie on your bed. Is this the power of your influence? Could you truly indoctrinate older men into sending emojis? Could this really be you?

Spencer: I most certainly did. I’ll even do it again.

Spencer: (:

He had to send it as a separate text. He couldn’t just add the smiley face to the end of his original message. No, of course he couldn’t.

You: omg who are you!!

You’re laughing now. Actually, properly laughing at the ridiculousness of this situation. Wait until Penelope hears about this.

Spencer: I don’t think these suit me very much, but they are fun. What about this one - 🙂

This is going too far. You’ve played God. You’ve flown too close to the sun. You’ve created a monster in the form of Spencer Reid using emojis while still being so formal. Still, you can’t deny that this is perhaps the funniest conversation you have ever had, with anyone, specifically because it perfectly demonstrates the unique humor shared between the two of you.

You: woah! careful! don’t push it, genius!!

And, in response to that, Spencer Reid is left with a philosophical question he has never before pondered: how does one convey sincere laughter via text? This reply takes him the longest, because he has to consider it very carefully. He wants it to indicate how funny he did find your message, and does find you, in general. He wants it to be obvious in its intent and impossible to misunderstand. So, after four minutes, you receive a text that has you laughing so hard you very nearly fall off of your bed.

Spencer: Haha.

Sometimes, that’s simply how your text conversations with Spencer end. While he does, generally, prefer a more traditional ending in the form of a goodnight text (that he actually makes the effort to sign off with a “- Spencer x”, like it’s a handwritten letter), he enjoys the nuances of an open end, on the basis it means a conversation with you doesn’t have to end. Only has to pause, temporarily, until one of you picks it back up again. There is something poetic, Spencer thinks, to the notion of you being his constant both in metaphor and literally in a text conversation that isn’t formally closed. That door is left open to you, much like the door to his heart is.

And that night, he closes his eyes with a smile on his face at the thought of you, everything you are, everything you make him feel. Everything that makes you, you, and how that makes you everything to him.

A text could never truly convey the heaven that you bring to him by existing, but just like proposing plans to watch Doctor Who with you, it’s a good place to start.

More yangvik headcanons pls Yangvik mother

using this ask as an excuse to post my weirdly specific birthday headcanons. and some others too i guess

anyway. ✨Yangvik Headcanons✨

Yangchen is a summer baby, her birthday is June 2nd

Kavik is an autumn baby, his birthday is November 23rd

This makes them 5, very nearly 6 months apart

Yangchen was a very quick baby, born after a short labor at 2:49 A.M, because she's always had a weird sleep schedule

Conversely, Kavik took his sweet time being born. His mother was in labor for almost two days, and he was born at 8:17 A.M

Both of them were born in the Year of the Rabbit

Astrology people are not allowed to fight me on this: Yangchen is a gemini and Kavik is a sagittarius

Astrology people are allowed to fight me on this because I don't know much about astrology outside of sun signs: Yangchen is an aquarius moon and capricorn rising, while Kavik is a taurus moon and scorpio rising

okay i'm done with birthday stuff, here's some other random ones:

I've talked about their heights a little bit but I finally settled on what their heights actually are. Yangchen is 5'10 and Kavik is 5'9 and 1/2. The half inch is very important

This is literally your headcanon but I love it and everyone needs to know it -> messy Yangchen and neat freak Kavik

Yangchen lives in organized chaos. She knows where everything is, but nobody else does

Kavik can't focus if a single paper is out of place. It drives him crazy

The only thing they can compromise on is that the bed needs to be made. For Yangchen it's a part of her morning grounding routine, and again, Kavik loses his mind if things are messy

Yangchen's love language is physical touch while Kavik's is words of affirmation. Yangchen gives love through words of affirmation while Kavik gives love by acts of service

Yangchen really loves when Kavik lays his head on her lap, because then she can play with his hair. Half of the time he ends up falling asleep which is also great because she thinks he's really cute when he sleeps

Kavik can't read while moving. Carriage, boat, sky bison, doesn't matter. He reads two sentences while moving and turns bright green. This makes him a very useless navigator because he can't read a map unless he's on solid ground

Yangchen is a midnight snack kind of girl. The kind of person to be up raiding the kitchen at 2am. If bagged shredded cheese was a thing in the ATLA universe she'd be all over that

I keep giving Kavik major Ls but they fit. He has a slight pollen allergy, so whenever the trees bloom in the spring he's kind of miserable for a few weeks; sneezy, congested, red-eyed, the works. He gets in a lot of healing practice during this time - mostly on his own sinuses

Okay one more cringe coupley thing they do because they deserve to be a cringe couple sometimes: Yangchen swaps their pillows every few nights because she likes the way that Kavik's smells

Lastly, my headcanon for Yangchen's training timeline! She received her arrows at 14, then spent a year in the Northern Water Tribe learning to waterbend. This is because she had to learn both normal waterbending and healing, and also because water is the element she struggled with the most. Afterwards, she spent 6 months learning earth and another 6 months learning fire, while receiving regular spiritual instruction on the Avatar State. This adds up to make her a fully realized Avatar by 16, as shown in canon. (The youngest fully realized Avatar ever until Aang comes around!)

Hope you enjoy these! Thanks so much for the ask!

[bonny-kookoo]

ahhhhhhh, the fairy dust! it's such a cute idea! Can we please have more of this, Miss Bonny?

He's sorry things went this way- he really is. Things really just got out of hand- some random guy having spotted you and the worldwide-known producer and composer in town, photos quickly spreading, rumors growing out of hand.

And yet, you didn't mind. Not one bit, it seems like.

Yoongi knows that you're probably moving too fast. You've known each other for not even half a year now, before you decided that maybe trying out a relationship might not even be such a bad idea after all. If the public already believes it, why not make it real?

Yoongi has to admit that he had to get used to you at first. You're staying over a lot more, your shimmering fairy dust by now a constant presence wherever he looks- though you were right that its only really a lot during winter. Oh- and your size.

In certain situations, you tend to swap shape- turning into a pixy sized version of yourself without much of your control. Its mostly when you're nervous, or get spooked, or even when sick- and to be fair, sometimes, he even finds it quite convenient.

"So, what about your more personal life?" The interviewer asks, making it more than obvious what he's talking about. You're sitting on one of the cameras after all, having agreed to stay during the whole ordeal despite your shyness turning you tiny.

"Well I believe that's already public knowledge, isn't it?" Yoongi answers dryly, still pretty annoyed by the way his privacy was invaded, even if it was a push into the right direction.

"I mean, a little? People are wondering who the fairy was who seemed to have charmed you." The man sitting across from him asks. The young journalist is visibly intimidated by Yoongi, and not just because of what he is beneath his human appearance.

"She is someone who chose me." The dragon hybrid answers. "And I chose her as well. There's nothing more to say about it." He replies.

"So, it's more of a professional agreement then?" The interviewer asks. "No love involved?"

At that, suddenly, Yoongi changes. Slowly, his normally professional and rather composed nature dissolves into an almost shy smile, as he shakes his head and disagrees.

"I think love is a broad term, no?" Yoongi begins to explain. "Love can be.. a lot of things to me. I've always found love around me, left and right." He offers. "I've stopped looking for love in a person a long time ago. It felt.. too unreliable, you could say." He goes into deeper detail, before his hands move in front of him in gestures underlining his words. "But then, I realized after starting to enjoy more and more new things happening around me, that they're all, connected, you could say." He smiles.

"Connected to that person. And that's all the public needs to know." He answers finally, while you stare him down with wide eyes.

All this time, you thought he just.. kept you around in order to get used to you. To become familiar, due to the fact that he felt obligated to now that the public believed you were a couple. You thought you were annoying him, that your fairy dust was messy, that your random spurts of pixy-form change was a nuisance and most likely weird to him.

But to hear him talk to you in such a way, makes you feel like he actually wants you. Not because of any obligation he feels.

And especially as he makes sure that you're comfortable the moment you change out of your pixy form again in the hotel room, shy but tender kiss shared as he reassures you that you're perfect for him no matter what-

you know that he's your person too.

Review shiny eevee and evolutions?

For sake of ease, we're going to group these by how good their shinies are, starting with:

The "I don't think you tried at all" shame corner (Glaceon, Leafeon, and Flareon): Doing all of these at once because I have the same issue with all of them: they are WAY too similar to the original colors, leading to incredibly boring and underwhelming shinies.

Glaceon: Just ever-so-slightly lighter than the original; the sprites had a tiny bit more contrast but not much. I would recommend making the whole thing white, which is a nice snowy color; sure, it does kind of share shiny Eevee's palette then but Jolteon and Espeon are both green so it probably doesn't matter.

Leafeon: The body is a tad darker, but good luck noticing. You could make the body a light green for something monotone, you could make the leaves brown or red, something autumn-y; literally just anything else would be better.

Flareon: Flareon the least bad of this group and mostly suffers from 3D conversion (its old sprites were more red while the old shiny sprites were more of a brownish gold). Easiest fix would just be to make the shiny a purer yellow like the above edit, or you could swing the opposite and do a deep red instead.

The "fine, but why?" corner (Jolteon and Espeon): Both of these ones are nice and high-contrast, and are very easy to spot compared to the non-shiny versions. The only issue with them is that the greens here feel very... random? They're not bad, but they don't feel natural.

Espeon: I like that it looks a bit like a space alien, but that really has nothing to do with the actual 'mon itself. For a Pokemon associated with the sun, you'd think they'd go for a yellow with a blue gem or something like the above (would tie it into Umbreon's shiny). At the very least, the green they chose feels way too dark for Espeon; a nice light, minty shade would've helped a lot, especially with a yellow gem or something. Also, I dislike that it has three different accent colors (red, purple, and blue).

Jolteon: The shade of green here works a lot better than the one used for Espeon, but it's an odd choice for an electric-type; once again, not bad, just odd. I would've just gone with a cyan-ish blue, which is still high-contrast but much more on theme.

The "actually good shinies" corner (Vaporeon, Eevee, Umbreon, and Sylveon): These ones are all bangers; lots of contrast and with color choices that feel natural for each.

Vaporeon: While this one borders on not having much to do with the theme, purple is at least close to blue hue-wise, so while it's not necessarily very water-y it doesn't feel like it's completely coming out of the left field either.

Eevee: Eevee's whole thing is that it's supposed to be plain and normal, so neutral colors are a must. The very light cream they used here stands out compared to the darker brown originally used but still works with the concept. Using a cream instead of pure white also allows it to keep a tiny bit of color. (I'm not posting an image of the g-max here, but I think it uses the same cream so no issues there.)

Sylveon: Sylveon doesn't actually change its hues; instead, it opts to swap its secondary and tertiary colors. This can be a risky gamble, but it works here because there was so much more pink in the original design compared to blue, so the change still really stands out. Because it uses the original palette in different proportions, it also doesn't run the risk of the colors feeling too random. Also it's trans, so that's a bonus.

Umbreon: Umbreon's shiny is a banger and you don't need me to tell you that. Swapping accent colors can be risky because it's not always that noticeable (see that Lunatone review I did a few days ago), but the yellow was such a prominent and bold part of the design that the blue swap stands out, helped by the fact that it pops really nicely against the black body is a nice "nighttime" color. Swapping the eyes to yellow further helps differentiate it, and it keeps the kind of "eerie" look that the original's red eyes invoked.

Overall: Vaporeon, Eevee, Sylveon, and Umbreon have great shinies. Espeon and Jolteon have okay shinies that are high-contrast but don't feel very natural. Glaceon, Leafeon, and Flareon barely change and are just plain boring.

OUTBOUND AU

Introducing the official Mascots for the Mimimuta YT Channel! Outbound Sans and Papyrus! This is just a mega information post on them to know everything you need to know!

REFERENCE PICS

Sans (Classic and Swap Form)

Papyrus (Classic and Swap Form)

PERSONALITIES

In general, the bros are pretty goofy, silly, mischief makers. They love both puns from the Papyrus slash Underswap Sans mode leaning more on them and both love practical jokes from their Sans slash Underswap Papyrus modes leaning more on those.

They do kind of have a nihilistic view on things knowing that everything that makes up their multiverse is made of a bunch of greater humans that could just decide to erase any of the universes they created. But at the same time, they realise that that doesn’t really matter. What could they do to stop them anyway? They’re made from duplicates of code that’s torn off from universe codes, so the original universes being deleted won’t delete them. (Wait till they realise they were created too but anyway) But they don’t use this new ‘Nothing matters! No one can stop us!!! *blowhorn*’ view to cause bad chaos, just chaotic good to neutral chaos. So when they do eventually interact with the Aus, they’re mostly just goofing around with the characters and lowkey fangirling since they HAD been watching the Aus from a distance from a while so that kind of made them feel parasocially connected to them. But also won’t interfere with actually important events since that’s not their place to do so.

They also experience slight memory issues. Not quite amnesia, just sometimes having random snippets of memories from a random Sanses and Papyri. Like, imagine Outbound Sans talking to Underfell Papyrus after having gone to Underfell a few times with his Papyrus and joking about an event then Underfell Papyrus being confused as hell why this Sans knows about something that happened in private with him and Underfell Sans and having Outbound Papyrus being like, “... BROTHER, I BELIEVE THAT WAS ONE OF THOSE... DEJAVU MEMORIES.”

Sans just blinks blankly for a moment before laughing it off, “... OH! MY BAD! FORGET I SAID THAT, LMAO.” and Underfell Papyrus is just confused.

SANS

Older brother, a bit of a terror of an older brother that loves messing with his younger brother. Lovingly.

Little mischief gremlin, does stuff randomly cause funny, also likes sarcasm

More observant than his silliness let’s on

Laughs slash appreciates at any joke Papyrus does, regardless of if he’s in Swapped or Classic mode cause he finds anything he’s bro does as endearing as a proud big bro

Slightly more unstable than Papyrus since there’s more Aus of Sans exist, especially negative ones. Has moment where the abundance of bad Sans AU codes in him make him either slump into episodes of deep depression or irritation to outright rage. Has learned to block out the worst effects of these codes but can't stop it entirely and hates it

SWAPPED exclusive trait: Hyper little energy ball, whizzes around a lot (Because people kept misinterpreting Blueberry as Canon Swap Sans, blueberry does influence him too)

CLASSIC exclusive traits: Sleepy narcoleptic, though half the time it’s because he’s pretending as a prank. Also drinks condiments because of how prevalent this headcanon is, half because he likes seeing people uncomfortable for funsies like OG Sans does, half because he likes it like everyone headcanons Sans does.

PAPYRUS

Younger brother that is so done with his older brothers antics but still puts up with it cause even he can admit it’s funny sometimes

More friendly and tenderhearted but can be pretty hot headed

Typical younger brother attitude, so it generally more immature and slightly more willing to give the benefit of the doubt to others, not out of naivety but optimism, than Sans is

Don’t let him acting annoyed with his older bro’s antics fool you, he can be just as much of a silly billy as Sans can be

Unlike Sans, he doesn’t experience irritation or depressive moments like he does, since Papyrus in Aus is very rarely depicted as... I guess antagonistically is the best word to use as Sanses are. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t feel some levels of depression ever

Autism haver, tends to fidget, a little bit socially awkward but optimistically and confidently pushes his way through it. Randomly becomes hyper fixated on different things.

SWAPPED exclusive traits: smokes special magic sticks, doesn’t actually do anything to him except make him look cool. Influence from the many swap Papyruses version makes him feel the urge to but has no real need for the effect smoking would actually cause.

CLASSIC exclusive traits: Go getter, pretty cocky even compared to Swapped Sans since he’s been pretty hyped up by Sans

How they switch? Usually it’s just a random thing that happens with a slight glitch but they can make it happen manually, usually if they just feel like relaxing (SwapPapi and UTSans) or go exploring (UTPapi and SwapSans)

BROTHER DYNAMICS

OG Papyrus x OG Sans

Pretty similar to original game

Swap Papyrus x Swap Sans

Similar to canon Swap

Sans is more protective of Papyrus than Papyrus is of Sans, unlike how many people seem to think otherwise, but Papyrus is still pretty protective of his bro

OG Papyrus x Swap Sans

THE ABSOLUTE GREATEST MOST MARVELOUS BROS EVER (as claimed by them

Energetic, always on the go and doing things

Surprisingly, Sans is more hyper and energetic than Papyrus so Papyrus has to keep up with him more than Sans has to keep up with him

Swap Papyrus x OG Sans

They just chillin’

Sans is typically more laidback than Papyrus and sleeps more than him but otherwise, they’re just vibing

Mashblogging (11x05 "Who Knew")

I watched 11x05 "Who Knew" tonight, and I thought "Sons & Bowlers" was my cause of death, but NOPE, just put this episode on my tombstone, GOODBYE.

I love how (while not exactly intentional, and there are obviously a lot of other episodes that are important along the way) there is a clear and explicit throughline across SEVEN SEASONS in how Hawkeye relates to other people, from 4x19 "Hawkeye" through "Where There's a Will" and "Sons & Bowlers" straight into this episode. (No coincidence, I'm sure, that the last three are all by the same set of writers.)

I complained about 4x19 "Hawkeye" over on DW, because he spends the entire episode talking nonstop and yet somehow manages to say absolutely nothing personal - it's mostly just rambling about medical terminology and girls he dated in college. I guess I would've expected talking about his friends, or revealing a little more of his internality, or something?

But the more I saw of him as a character, the easier it was to see it in context: Hawkeye simply doesn't talk about anything personal, even with people he'll never see again; it's a pure reflex even when he's concussed and rambling, as of that point in the show.

Then in "Where There's a Will" several seasons later, Hawkeye, fearing he's going to die at in shelling at the front, keeps himself sane and focused through the hell he's in by thinking about the people he loves, and says goodbye to them by writing out his will. It's an unspoken "I love you" but in a fairly oblique way, though he gets perhaps more personal than he ever has before in the show, praising their individual qualities and telling them what he likes best about them and choosing appropriate gifts (his main personal comfort object goes to Charles, Margaret gets something to remind her to laugh because that's what he loves best about her, Potter gets something sentimental from his childhood that reminds him of his dad, etc).

Of course, they don't even know; he's writing a document to be read after he's dead, and he never actually uses the word "love" even once. They only way they'll ever hear any of this is if he dies, and since he doesn't, they'l never hear it.

"Sons & Bowlers" has Hawkeye as probably the softest and most open that we've ever seen him in the entire show, plus Hawkeye explicitly talking about saying "I love you" and how he can say the words but he doesn't know how to really tell his dad that he loves him (and Charles gives him the nudge for how to do that, and he does do that).

And then we come finally to "Who Knew," where Hawkeye, who has spent eleven seasons deflecting and avoiding emotional conversations, admits openly that he does this and he knows that he does this.

"I'm a lot like Millie. I'm not shy ... I cover up my feelings with jokes. I don't tell the people that I care about the most, the most important thing I can tell them - that I do care."

... and just straight up tells his friends that he loves them in so many words.

"I love every one of you."

And I love how just as in "Where There's a Will" where it's clear that the order of people in the will is non-random, there's a definite progression here in the people he names. It's almost in order of closeness but not quite - Potter is first because of rank and also the specific nature of the relationship they have (in terms of emotions I'd put him right before Margaret, but I agree that he needs to go first), but then it's a steady emotional escalation (though you could easily swap Margaret and Charles, they work equally well in either order).

I also love that it's a sort of escalation of complexity, because Mulcahy and Klinger were always easy, Margaret and Charles were a hard-won love, and BJ is just and has always been BJ.

And the distinct way that he says the last three names!

Margaret is incredibly soft and gentle, the way he just whispers her name.

Charles is soft too, but also just kind of like "You didn't know I loved you? Well, now you do."

(Charles: I CAME OUT TO ATTEND THE FUNERAL OF SOMEONE I DON'T KNOW OR CARE ABOUT, I DIDN'T EXPECT TO BE ATTACKED LIKE THIS.)

and then he just grins at BJ.

And those last three are the ones he finally tears up on.

PROTECT HIM. T___T

[normalaboutjungkook]

jungkook doesn't care about taehyung like that there is the reason why there're so many jkkers

what does taehyung have to do with jkk? 😐😐😐 you wouldn't say "jungkook doesn't care about hobi blah blah that's why so many jkkers" or with any other member. so this proves to me that jkk's realness depends on whether or not tkk is real (in the eyes of jkkers. no wonder they always try to size us up)

there's also tons of ymn shippers as well. does that mean something about how jm treats jk too? (i mean look how close in size they are in the AO3 comparison for example 🤷🏾)

and time to info dump because now i have an excuse to 🎉🎉🎉

JK was the only person who knew Tae's TMI during run BTS, brought up multiple times how Tae helped him get out his shell, he made sure Tae sat down properly with his foot injury, he wrote a short letter to Tae because he considers himself close to him, he knows the steps to Tae's Slow Dancing freestyle, he said "where ever V hyung goes I'm happy" (along those lines), he listened to KTH1 first (iirc), he has a V shaped A tattoo 🤔, he considers Tae the most handsome man he's ever seen, he also praises tae as a person & as an artist, he told taehyung to be confident in his voice, he's called Tae a "flirt" at least twice, he told Tae "is this how you feel when you see me cry?" when he saw Tae crying, he made sure Tae doesn't eat food that's too spicy for him, he wrote Tae a message in winter package 2019 that made him emotional, he was the only person (twice) to give Tae a ⭕ (yk the little yes/no card things? idk how to describe it), he sometimes compliments tae without a reason, asked if partners are family too when tae said family is important to him (iirc), he posted a selca with Tae (at atomix iirc) first before with any other member on IG, the only photo he "consented" to having posted online during military service was with Tae, he messed around with Tae in the comments during that one Weverse live too (Tae didn't mention him first either. so let's drop that narrative), he swapped teams with Tae during run BTS (his team was going to go into a sauna & Tae has a skin condition), he has expressed multiple times he would like to share rooms/live with Tae, during rookie king he barely even hit Tae (and didnt give the same mercy to other members) when they were doing whatever that torture thing was (idr 😭), the vminkook live (I won't elaborate), dream premiere (c'mon now...), MAMA 2018 (💔💔), Grammys 2020, Harry Styles concert, wore matching sweetheart shirts with tae on the same day, the hello kitty plushies, he took the prize Tae wanted during Run BTS and actually gave it to him, he recorded footage of their date near Namsan & kept it private, imitated Tae's half/half idol era hair color during bon voyage, made time to be with Tae during enlistment, defended Tae from "fans" who said he should cut his mullet, there was a visible V on the wall of his Golden photoshoot, also according to Tae only he knows how sulky JK can get when someone doesn't give him attention, he referred to Begin as V-gin & said it's a song that'll touch Tae's heart, JK expresses how much he enjoys Tae's cooking, he also typically has no reaction to when Tae does random things to him (the playing with his earrings 😭 the thigh slaps 😭 or that finger in ear thing?? 😭), didn't deny that 1:23 was a reference to Tae's birthday (on a fansign post it tho), ran to catch up with Tae during an award show, pushed his seat closer to Tae during an award show when Tae slightly moved away, oh and he mostly sits/stands next to tae (and very closely too), sometimes he leaves his center position to stand next to Tae in group photos (even at the Grammys), took a duo photo with Tae at the White House, they send ILY signs to each other (exclusively too years before BWL), JK steals glances at Tae, only gave Tae a kiss on the cheek in 5th army zip, plays videogames until past midnight with Tae, he looks at Tae like this, he playfully pulled down Tae's shirt during YTCB rehearsals, uhhh I'm getting bored now but I think u get the idea (more)

sorry that jkk propaganda got to you anon 💔💔 couldn't be me

[numberonetacostan]

The idea of Swap Paco Taco trying to put lemons in OJs juice is so funny to me. Like the image of him just talking with paper or something and a lemon just falls into his head, as Taco is like on a counter or something with a second lemon in her mouth- just- what is the highest amount of lemons she would've been able to put into his glass before he or someone else like stopped her? (Many people talk about how depending on the drink in his head, or lack thereof, it effects his way of like thinking or behaving. What would a large quantity of unpeeled and fresh lemons do to him?)

Also with the way that it was phrased, with the hotel occupant's helping Paco Swap Taco file a case against Mephone4, how would that situation even like work out. I know it's probably since she's the one who own the hotel, but to think instead that she actually outright said "I'm gonna sue you..." As like one of her few sentences spoken since the end of season one is just so silly. Especially thinking about how anyone else would react if she were to actually be direct about this.

Uh, as a way of reconnecting would Pickle and Taco ever like play games together or go on picnics (like they did before, in season one) With like supervision from like Knife or Mic? How would that work out with them?

Erm, since Pickle and Taco know French (Taco moreso) Would the others also know/learn some since they spend so much time with Taco?

-

Also I just lovveee the crossover episode, I missed BFB Taco, BFB Balloony, TPOT Bomby, and Nickel (From BFDI, BFDIA, IDFB, BFB, and TPOT!!!) sooooo much, and to see BFB Taco taco bout her being perceived as a traitor with II Taco aaaaa- they're amazing (⁠･ั⁠ω⁠･ั⁠)

Hi (⁠･ั⁠ω⁠･ั⁠)!!^^ Welcome back, and thank you for sending in an ask!! :)

The most she'd ever gotten in him was 15 lemons, while he was engrossed in doing the taxes for the hotel. It stopped at 15 because his juice starting spilling out of him, so he finally noticed what she was doing. The least she ever got was 0 when she tried to catch him by surprise while he was sleeping. Horizontally. With his cork in. Which she took out to put in the lemons. So anyways Paper spent 10 minutes filling OJ back up, Knife dumped Taco into a bath, and they ended up just getting rid of the mattress, there was no saving it from that much juice.

As for a large quantity of lemons, like if he was entirely filled with lemons and no orange juice? He starts acting just like Taco. He'd end up going around yelling random words just like she does!

With her suing Mephone- she's been watching Bomb playing Ace Attorney. She yells "OBJECTION!!" At Mephone and the others get what she's going for. Bomb probably tried playing Danganronpa at first but once Taco starting watching he switched the game so she didn't get scared.

Yes, absolutely. Plenty of picnics, I think Pickle would try making various lemon dishes for her (as well as he can. he tries) and she'd love it!! Her favourite fruit!! Mic and/or Knife would definitely attend too. They'd help carry more conversation since Taco is still mostly non-verbal and Pickle isn't babbling as much when he isn't acting. As for playing games, yes to that too!! Pickle tried to teach her ringtoss in season 1, yeah? Maybe she's picked up some new games from the others while he's been away, and tries to teach them to him!! He'd probably know how to play them already, but would go along with it to make her happy.

I think a few of them would learn a bit, Knife, OJ, Paper, etc., but I don't think they'd learn that much. It's not as though they're having conversations in French with Taco, yeah? They'd probably learn mostly individual words to help her learn English so she can understand them. Pickle would know the most by far and would keep getting better with online courses or something so he could talk to Taco in her first language. Knife might try to pick up for after that since he's so wary of Pickle being able to communicate with her in a way they don't understand.

Love For Love's Sake - Differences in the Kdrama and Novel: Spoiler Warning (Pt 1)

as the title says, i just wanted to spread information because I love this series and them soo much u cant pull me away from the grasp they have on me

the show is pretty faithful to the original, although there were some parts that were swapped for one reason or another - mostly due to time.

the way i'll do this is, i'll first say what happens in the Kdrama (since more people are familiar with it) and then what happens in the Novel - small changes like added dialogue / continuation of dialogue or simple swapped backgrounds wont be noted (unless I find it interesting, funny or of importance)

OR if the scene wasnt added to the drama at all, I'll note that down (and vice versa if the scene is not in the novel)

if something isnt explained - its because its exactly the same / similar enough to the Kdrama. also keep in mind that myungha has A LOT of internal dialogue in the novel - so some may be reference, some wont.

as usual im reading with a fan translation, so it may not be 100% accurate, but I'm trusting the fan who took the time out their day to translate - thank u to them

here we go <3

[EP1] INTRO ====>

KDRAMA:

The very first scene is of Yeowoon's empty desk with Myungha in the background blurred out -

then shots of Myungha running to Yeowoon and finally reaching his house

he calls for Yeowoon -

then the first title screen and cut to the bar

NOVEL:

the very first thing is actually the scene of Yeowoon crying at his match asking why Myungha is so nice to him

this scene is very short and ends here after this question as Myungha pauses and thinks for an answer.

Myungha then explains mentally (basically providing context for the reader) that he is 29 and has about a year left to live if he cant make his fav happy

then cut to myungha in the bar

[EP 1] WAKING UP IN THE GAME ====>

KDRAMA:

Myungha is asleep at his desk - he wakes up startled

he jumps to his feet and is shocked by his surroundings

he is subsequently scholded and sent outside by the teacher

Myungha then laments for a bit until class is over where he meets Kyunghoon for the first time

myungha asks kyunghoon many questions about the world

myungha gets a flashback to the bar,

myungha then asks about yeowoon

he then rushes to find his fav

NOVEL:

the very first time myungha wakes up in this game world is not written down in the novel - instead it is mentioned he just woke up in the game (it was very casual - Myungha doesnt really panic)

its clear that at least a day had passed since he had come into this world (but that day isnt written)

myungha is in the faculty room - being scolded by a teacher

the teacher shouts at him for cheating on a quiz given previously (one he had done after he entered the game)

some insight over myungha being a 'dumb delinquent' is expressed here for the first time - with the teacher saying this random high score is unbelievable (Myungha usually has one of the lowest scores in the school)

after some shouting and a few slaps with a folder, the teacher lets him go, telling him not to cheat again but he has no real proof to keep him

Myungha bows before going back to his class, noting the strange environment he was thrown into (essentially giving context to his surrounds and the world)

myungha enters his class and gets his first ever message to make Yeowoon happy - he is dumbfounded by it and is scolded by the teacher to sit down.

myungha does as told and does a quiz until the bell rings

after class, Myungha roams the halls - other students avoid him (with even more context on myungha being a delinquent), he then meets Kyunghoon for the first time.

they talk about yeowoon (myungha doesnt get any flashbacks to the bar) he is about to go find his fav...

but he stops when Kyunghoon mentions the next class is about to start

myungha sighs and goes to class first - (he doesn't rush off immediately) this scene is to show Myungha's responsibility and his older 29 age - he's been worn down to be complacent by years of jobs - he's not like his 19 year-old self

he explains his surrounding a bit more and then gets a splinter telling him this isn't a dream - he needs to change yeowoon's 18

after class, myungha rushes to yeowoon's class

[EP 1] FIRST MEETING / SAVING YEOWOON ====>

(TW : Suicide)

KDRAMA:

Myungha is outside yeowoon's class asking a student who has no clue where yeowoon is or lives - just that he never turned up

the student leaves

myungha pieces together the time and date to yeowoon's grandma's death and therefor knows whats next (yeowoon's broken leg)

myungha gets a pop-up and agrees to find yeowoon - following the map

he rushes to yeowoon

myungha complains about not having money and then decides to run

myungha runs to yeowoon and reaches his house

myungha sees him standing ontop the brick fence - about to jump

myungha pulls him off without a word (besides calling out his name)

myungha gets the 'the world has now changed cuz of your actions' message

NOVEL:

the student myungha grabbed actually knows that yeowoon's grandma passed but doesnt know anything else before he leaves becuz he's scared of myungha

Myungha gets the pop-up and the map and begins running to yeowoon, lost in thought.

he thinks about Yeowoon's entire life - about his mother passing when he was young (only mentioned here but more on that in a later chapter) and father being a deadbeat - how his grandma is the only person who he loved before she passed of a chronic illness

and how after the passing, yeowoon got into a car accident (also mentioned later) and broke his leg - making him lose his scholarship and money - making his life as dark as myungha's

myungha jumps over the school gates and rushes to yeowoon's location (once more complaining about having no money and repeating his original age)

myungha reaches his house

yeowoon is standing on the OTHER SIDE of the fence, on the very edge (the fence here is a short, thin iron one so yeowoon doesnt stand ontop of it)

myungha realises that yeowoon's 'car accident' was actually him jumping off the roof

when myungha comes on the roof, he stratles yeowoon and yeowoon loses balance, letting go of the fence and falling off.

myungha rushes over and barely manages to grab yeowoon's hand (yeowoon had actually fallen off the roof)

the fence digs into myungha's stomach as yeowoon hits the side wall with a thud (luckily myungha caught him before he had fallen too far)

myungha sees his reflection in yeowoon's eyes and gets his 'Cha Yeowoon recoginses you' message.

myungha digs his heels into the ground asking yeowoon to 'please not die'

at first it was straining and difficult, but eventually myungha manages to pull yeowoon over the fence.

yeowoon lands ON TOP of myungha - back safely onto the roof

myungha takes a few moments to think about how beautiful yeowoon is

yeowoon gets up -

myungha gets the 'the world has changed cuz of your actions' message

[EP 1] FIRST ICECREAM ====>

KDRAMA:

outside the store

Myungha and yeowoon choosing icecreams

they choose and myungha goes to pay - he doesnt have enough so he borrows some from yeowoon

yeowoon doesn't even question it and hands over 300 won

they get the icecream and leave

they talk about how myungha is 1 year older but acts like he's 11 years older - yeowoon then says myungha is just like the sports club (cuz of his annoyance/ego)

yeowoon tries to leave but myungha gets a debuff and drags yeowoon to his house to stay the night

as they reach the busstop, the bus already arrived so they rush on - myungha makes yeowoon pay for his ticket

myungha sits in the back with yeowoon in the front

myungha searches up 'love supremacy zone'

the bus arrives at their stop and the pair get off.

myungha tellls yeowoon its going to be a walk to his house

NOVEL:

outside the store

Myungha holds out two coins, telling yeowoon to get whatever he wants (within reason)

myungha complains about the prices in his mind - and about inflation

yeowoon says he'll buy his own but myungha stops him.

then yeowoon suggests buying it for each other - but myungha is embarrassed by an 18 year old buying him icecream

yeowoon groans and drags myungha to a store with 50% off. they get their icecream from there (myungha pays for both)

with icreams in hand, yeowoon sighs loudly while he eats - he asks why icecreams, but myungha says kids like it (they talk about age and if myungha is in the sports club just like the Kdrama)

myungha calls yeowoon rude and yeowoon shrugs and says he hears that a lot. myungha realises yeowoon is much ruder than in his friend's novel - all his puppy-dog tailwagging is reserved for the female protagonist. (this part makes me giggle)

myungha asks if this is yeowoon's personality always or if he is just being bitchy right now - yeowoon says all the time. myungha says he isn't shocked yeowoon has no friends - yeowoon then tells myungha to name his own friends then. myungha cant. (i giggle x2)

myungha asks exactly why yeowoon cant make any friends, is it because his personality is so bad? (no joke he actually asks this - i giggle x3)

at this point yeowoon is somewhat annoyed and just agrees, telling myungha to go home. myungha doesn't, and they continue walking while eating icecream

when they reach a near yeowoon's house, yeowoon tells him to go away.

Myungha doesnt leave and asks to stay the night at yeowoon's place - yeowoon is visibly shocked so myungha backtracks and instead takes yeowoon to his house.

myungha gets the debuff and his resolve strengthens - myungha grabs his arm and drags him away

Yeowoon complains on the way to the busstop about getting bruises from myungha's grip while myungha acts like nothing is wrong and shrugs saying he should have given in

they wait at the busstop for a few minutes

yeowoon says he wont go, but myungha jokes and says he has no money to get himself home then - yeowoon says this is extortion.

the bus arrives

myungha drags him to the doors, yeowoon tries to leave but the driver shuts the doors immediatly as they enter

yeowoon swipes his card and tells the driver he's paying for both (myungha really thought yeowoon wouldnt pay for him)

myungha then gushes mentally over how yeowoon is still a good guy inside despite his exterior

myungha jokes "wow you paid for me" - yeowoon tells him not to talk to him.

yeowoon takes a seat at the front, myungha grumbles, telling him to sit together at the back but yeowoon doesnt even pretend to listen

myungha contemplates standing, but doesnt want fondess to low even more - and instead goes to the back

myungha searchs up about 'love supremacy' (same as kdrama)

myungha deosnt even realise when the bus stopped until driver tells him to get off - myungha apologises and does -

Myungha tells yeowoon its going to be a walk to the house

=========================================

i've decided to only do four in this post - i'll do more later - perhaps tommorow or the day after

also Yeowoon is so much more bratty in the novel and i love it

i want to do as many as possible in one post, but not make it overwhelmingly too much for one post

if you have any questions or just wanna talk about LFLS, please do <3

[year2000electronics]

Hi Mothra, random question:

Can you infodump a bit on anything Skylanders? My partner loves it (Especially Stealth Elf) and I wanna understand the pure brainrot he's got going on with it.

Hatefully yours (/silly),

Jayson Gayson

OKAY SURE. so i will tell you a bit about skylanders. the protag of the skylanders games aren't actually the skylanders. since you can swap to any skylander at any time, you can't really give them this unique role. actually, YOU, the player, are the main character. you are a Portal Master who uses the Portal of Power to bring skylanders back to their home dimension of skylands (putting the toy on the portal) after they were banished to earth and turned into statues (toys.) by the villain. so frequently people in the story will refer to The Portal Master. it doesn't actually play a role in the story that much but ive always found it neat that the sort of meta-element in toys to life is there. there's no Infinityster in Disney Infinity, no Amiibo Lord in amiibo, no Dimension Keeper in Lego Dimensions... but for skylanders, the actual act of putting the toy on the portal is incorporated into the story of the game. i think that's such a cool way to do it.

ANYWAYS. skylands is your typical Fantasy Land brimming with magic. there are other Portal Masters in skylands but theyre mostly gone. as of right now the only ones are you the player, this old guy named Master Eon, and a Dark Portal Master who is the villain of the games named Kaos. basically if invader zim was human. i do mean that literally. the big macguffin centerpiece of the magic in skylands is called the Core of Light so the first game starts with kaos destroying that. and it's up to us the portal master to send skylanders back to skylands temporarily in order to stop this looming threat.

throughout the series you also need people to bounce off and follow in cutscenes, so you do get a trio of deuteragonists as well! flynn, an egotistical pilot, hugo, a nervous scholar, and cali, who's spunky and helps train skylanders. they're pretty cute i grew to love them as time went on

(there they are. Trio)

anyways yeah thats basically the story. the Good Guys try to stop the Bad Guy from whatever New Macguffin pops up, which is typically tied into a brand spanking new line of Collectible Toys. capitalism rejoice.

skylanders giants (game 2)- kaos tries to revive this lost ancient civilization full of EVIL ROBOTS (COOL AS HELL) named the arkeyans. some really big skylanders called the giants got banished by the arkeyans a long time ago. i really like the arkeyans, i think the concept of skylands having this fantasy-robot ancient civilization instead of a future civilization is just. chefs kiss. the arkeyans dont exactly go away in the series either, cos even though they never get a major role again, you still see them in setpieces and stuff. my favourite level in the next game is an ARKEYAN GRAVEYARD. LIKE HELLO!! THATS SO COOL

this is the old arkeyan king, with his Iron Fist of Arkus, but FUN FACT, THERE ARE A FEW ARKEYANS WHO ARE SKYLANDERS!!

that first guy, krypt king, is all the way from game 4. so yeah the arkeyans are always subtly there. love it love it.

skylanders swap force (game 3)- the dev studio switches from toys for bob to vicarious visions, and to reflect that, there ends up being an entirely new Locale and Supporting Cast. flynn takes a vacation to the Cloudbreak Islands and meets some new other furries. these islands have these four Elementals who can do a magic eruption thing at a volcano. very powerful-old-magic of them. the swap force are skylanders who can swap tops and bottoms (the NFC tech on these were actually quite impressive) and kaos' plan ties into the gimmick because this magic volcano blast that banished the swap force way back when is happening again and he wants to use it to Turn Everything Evil with evil crystals. lovely

this dude is straight up a chocobo

skylanders trap team (game 4)- NEW GAME NEW GIMMICK. basically back in the day there were these Really Big Bad Villains called the Doom Raiders who get locked in prison with this nigh-unbreakable material called Traptanium. but kaos is an idiot who breaks them out because he knows no peace. the skylanders this time are called Trap Masters because they all have traptanium weapons (crystal weapons that kinda rocks) and another gimmick is that they sold these little plastic traps in stores and had a new slot in the portal where you could capture villains and play with them and theyd commentate on how you did. toys for bob is also back so they went back to the original supporting cast but they did add some new faces

there the doom raiders are ^ thats kaos in the middle btw. neglected to show you him but there he is. i think their designs are pretty cool. i like them :] this is the game that got me into skylanders but my little brother had been collecting them since spyro's adventure

skylanders superchargers (game 5)- so uh. this game's gimmick is Cars?

yeah. but also for some unexplainable reason, the plot this time is about THE END OF THE WORLD. the literal embodiment of darkness (...creatively just called The Darkness yeah i know.) has Reawakened and is basically using kaos as a pawn to destroy skylands to harvest its Surplus of Magic so he can use it as fuel to CONQUER other worlds. greater-good-of-bad type of thing. but kaos is REALLY hung up on that fact. because he really wants to RULE the world, not destroy it. for some reason. almost like he was an unloved child who finds solace in evil and was always seeking that twisted sort of validation and belonging. who knows. who knows. not me. maybe im looking too deep into this. he fires the only person whos ever stuck by him but when the world is Almost destroyed he realizes his mistakes and turns on the darkness and helps defeat it basically. and that means all his dark powers are gone but he says he'll work as the skylanders' Evil Consultant. basically antihero-redeemed. i kinda love that. and i realize how similar this sounds to a plot of a certain movie to Those Who Know. which may explain why i love this game.

^these divas

i realize how biased this summary is around my favourite character and im sorry. the good guys are off trying to stop the end of the world its very fun.

skylanders imaginators (game 6)- WHY IS THIS SERIES STILL GOING THAT WAS A PERFECT ENDING. anyways the skylanders brand has for a while now been selling us junk that Arent skylanders figures. in trap team there were the traps in superchargers there were cars. and now. These

now YOU can create your OWN SKYLANDER! WOWWWWWW!! idk im over it. imaginators you are nothing to me. they did also have a line of regular figures to pick up called Senseis. those were cool. kaos finally got a proper figure. that was cool. but the plot has kaos going back to his Old Ways and using the magic you use to create your own skylanders to create his own evil doomlanders. and by the end he goes super saiyan. and he becomes tiny and they lock him in a jar. and that's how the series ends now. thanks imaginators.

they also have a core lineup of original skylanders (like the aforementioned stealth elf! and spyro and eruptor and shit) who would tag along with you on levels to get Synergy with the brand-new netflix series Skylanders Academy. yeah sure who even cares anymore. (IM SORRY I DONT LIKE IMAGINATORS. I AM NOT IMMUNE TO MY OWN PROPAGANDA)

look at this though. these are all the elements skylanders can be.

thus ends my rant

[sastielsfandom]

hi hi hi i woke this morning and i couldnt stop thinking about cas, sam and jack and so i've decided to ask the professionals. do you have any family headcanons for them ???

Hi hi hi!! I’ve been promoted to being a professional! I have a few that I haven’t shared before. Been thinking about them a lot recently. 

Ironically, the one who doesn’t sleep is the one who rounds up the ones who do and sends them to bed. Jack only sleeps a few hours so he forgets he needs to sleep at all, and more than once when he’s around Sam, they’ve both fallen asleep slouched over whatever activity had their attention. It’s usually research over something that Jack had asked about and they get absorbed in that subject. Sam always forgets he needs to sleep, a part of him must think he’s still soulless and doesn’t need it. So Castiel around 10 sometimes 11 he’ll suggest for them to turn in for the night. Typically, they agree but when it’s clear they’re too absorbed… It’s time for  the big guns. A movie break. They pile up in Sam’s room. Sam and Castiel take the edges of the bed while Jack is plopped in the middle. Not even a third of the way into the movie Castiel looks over to see them both sleeping. 

Sam found an old polaroid of his and decided to give it to Jack. The first few, like ten or twenty… came out terribly. Once Sam taught him how to use it properly though seeing his frustration, Jack went a little overboard. His wall was plastered with photos of Sam, Castiel, and a few he’d manage to sneak of others like Dean or even Mary. Mary didn’t mind but Jack always caught her off guard. Castiel and Sam were always quickest to notice and would pose for him. However, his wall was mostly filled with pictures of random things that he found interesting. Which varied from the back of a cereal box to a picture of a lake in some woodland forest that Jack doesn’t even remember going to but has a picture of it. Sam and Castiel’s biggest concern with that picture is that Jack definitely wasn’t taking it on the ground and he doesn’t remember it… All he could offer them was a shrug.

More often than not Sam and Castiel end up finding some souvenir or toy that they Jack will like whenever they’re out on a food run, or even coming back from a hunt. It sucks not always being able to take Jack with them, so it’s their middle ground. Although, they still try to find something when Jack is with them. So… They just like Jack knowing they’re always thinking of him. He appreciates the gifts, and even gets really excited about them. But he did have to ask for smaller gifts or more storage at some point. There’s really only so many places he could put things without it taking over his room. So, they’ve decided on smaller items and more storage containers that chill in Sam’s room. 

Castiel feels very lost cooking in a kitchen so whenever he decides to make something for Sam or Jack he makes things that don’t require a stove. Neither notice since their favorite foods don’t require a stove. Most of the things Castiel prepares are salads, sandwiches, or things he can microwave. The main reason they don’t catch on is because Castiel varies everything. Fruit salads are never the same as the last, he’ll swap out at least two or three fruits that seem to work. He has taken note of Sam’s taste in salads and finds recipes for different kinds as well so even those salads are never the same. Jack likes the salads too, and sometimes helps with them. Admittedly, Castiel gets carried away making sandwiches. He found the wiki for sandwiches and there’s just too many that seem like they’d be suitable for Sam and Jack. He doesn’t microwave many things, that’s saved for when they’re on a hunt and he doesn’t have the luxury of a kitchen or time. Sam always insists he can make himself something at that point, but once Castiel hands it to him, he’s confused because when he warms things up, it definitely doesn’t taste like that. It’s a mystery that even Castiel can’t solve. 

Sam actually doesn’t mind Jack eating sugar, in reasonable amounts. Sugary cereal admittedly isn’t the worst thing in the world. However, he just prefers it to be something like they’re at a park, it’s a hot summer day they should get some ice cream. Or they’re watching movies as a family, some candy and junk food is the way to go. It’s cooling down, perhaps they should warm up with some hot chocolate. Later Sam realizes it’s things he wanted on those types of days as a kid but they never got those things unless they were with Bobby or Pastor Jim. So he pretends to not notice Jack eating some cereal that makes Sam’s teeth feel like they’re going to fall out, and still surprises Jack with a sweet treat from time to time. He also pretends to not notice Castiel doing the same thing when they think he can’t see them. 

Jack kept asking to spar with Sam, but Sam was hesitant. He hated sparring with his Dad, and didn’t want the same thing to be true for Jack. But after a hunt where Jack got injured from not being able to hold his own in hand to hand combat he agreed. It was awkward for both at first, not wanting to hurt each other. But Castiel offered to spar with Sam for demonstration and for Jack to pick up different methods from both of them. It worked better to spar with Castiel first, knowing he can handle a few harsher punches and kicks, and Jack ended up finding ways to combine both of their fighting styles. More than once Sam has been knocked back hard, unexpecting Jack’s combos, and everytime he’s proud. While they thought originally it would only help Jack, it made hunting easier being familiar with each other’s cues. Sam understood a little better why his Dad had them spar so much, but he still sees the flaws in how he went about it. But rather than hating his Dad for it, he tries to learn from it. It’s good to know that even though they train together, when Sam goes in for a hug, Jack never flinches; he just embraces him. 

Sam and Castiel work really well together when it comes to spellwork. With all of Castiel’s knowledge and all the tricks Sam’s learned from Rowena they can tackle coming up with now components to help them on the field. It came to their attention that Jack’s not the most familiar with spellwork, he’s around to see incantations and all. But he’s never the one doing them. He picked up really quickly, and to help with the tricker ones, they’d practice tongue twisters. They know it’s very unlikely for Jack to need them, since he has his own natural magic… They know at any point their lives can change drastically and they’d rather teach Jack while they can. And when Jack lost his grace, they were more than grateful at the fact that he’d have some spellwork under his belt. 

[sweetcloverheart]

You know sweetcloverheart,

I am wondering about this,

But if Deku form My Hero Academia and Marinette swap places (Like an AU where Deku's born in the Miraculous Universe and Marinette's born in the MHA Universe) where they take the Other's Role (EG: Deku getting the Ladybug Miraculous and dealing with Chloe for a bully while Marinette becomes All Might's Successor but forced to deal with Bakugo as her Bully)

How different do you think they'll be in the other's Position?

(Deku looks up to superheroes so even in a Universe where Super Heroes aren't the Norm, He should be more willing to be a Hero unlike Marinette (Though I'm not sure if Deku can tolerate Chloe like Bakugo however) but the latter I don't think would even want to accept being All Might Successor yet alone able to handle Bakugo as well but what do you think?)

Thanks, Take Care and See Ya! ;)

While I don't personally like how this question is worded (Izuku and Marinette both have their virtues and vices that both help and hinder them in their respective roles), it's interesting enough to actually make me want to answer

Now for starters, it has to to acknowledged these two shows are from different cultures (France and Japan respectively), and as such, how the protags handled their respective bully character is reflective of that, as well as how they act and how their universes operate. However, for the sake of this question, I'm going to treat this as if both worlds are culture blind.

On Izuku's end, I'm going to be frank and say that he probably would not have handled Chloe situation better nor worse than Marinette did. Despite everything Bakugou did to him (including the infamous "Swandive" scene), Izuku never hated/resented him (had complicated feelings, yes, but none of them were resentful as far as I remember) and still held a lot of admiration for him at the end of the day - but that's mostly because Bakugou is also his rival and they're childhood friends, as well as being highly empathetic and stubborn. He'd likely try his damnedest to understand while Chloe hates him, and he would have tried like Marinette to help Chloe reconcile with Audrey because has no clue what's going on behind the scene (though I think once it was clear Audrey obviously held no love for her own child, he'd probably do similar as with Todoroki during the sports festival and try getting Chloe to be her own person/stop focusing on her mom). How effective all this would be really depends on how close the two are and how strong a rebar bar was used to keep TA locked in whatever closet you stuff him in for this AU because Izuku and Chloe really don't have any crossover in terms of interests/hobbies (outside of maybe heroes). I think he'd probably be okay with the Miraclass, but only have like, two or three people he was close to (Likely Juleka and Nathaniel due to having similar temperaments), and he and Adrien could be good friends if effort was put forth and they talked (I imagine he wouldn't have jumped to conclusions about the gum thing), and might have some success in turning Lila because he'd be smarter about confronting her on the lying. He and Alya would be such good nerd buddies. I can genuinely see them sitting in each others rooms trading comics and having "who's stronger" debates

As for the Ladybug...Yeah, no. Izuku would do poorly with Tikki. Kid's smart as they come and adaptive, but he lack the functional creativity that the Ladybug Miraculous needs from its holders regarding the Lucky Charms (though he'd be a lot better at interpreting the more abstract ones), especially if it works similarly to Marinette in that they're seemingly random (maybe if it was like Mister Bug in that he could whichever one he wants, it'd be a different story). In addition, Tikki would not mesh well with him, (particularly if we're talking pre-character development!Izuku) because the kid needs someone willing to be harsh/upfront with him like All Might was during the beach training, and Tikki I think would just be much too willing to baby him. Izuku is also a pretty direct person when it comes to combat and the Ladybug requires being more indirect/handsoff. While he wouldn't end up returning it on that first day/trading it off to Alya like Marinette did, he'd likely have a horrible time of it. Honestly, if I was going to give Izuku a Miraculous, I'd go for either the Ox (very direct/powerhouse and would stop the canon bone-breaking), Tiger (Similar reasoning as Ox+Roarr would be very similar to AM for him), or Dragon (requires actually considering what element works best with battle, and I think he'd be pretty strategic with it).

On Marinette's end...I actually think she'd do better in the BNHA world, but also poorer.

In regards to Bakugou, I think any bullying would get cut off at the knee because unlike with "Derision" and because we've reinforced the rebar, Tom and Sabine would be able actually go to Mitsuki and Masaru after hearing about stuff like the playground and remove Marinette from his presence if things didn't improve. I imagine unlike with Izuku, Marinette would take all of Bakugou's behavior/threats at face value and just...stop talking to him. No reconciling or understanding, just bitter/petty remarks and open mockery like she does with Chloe in canon (She'd also likely air-out their dirtylaundry first day of class, would would have consequences™ for both of them she isn't considering). She'd get along well with the 1A girls, but not enough to say they'd be a girl squad. I think she and Mina would be similar to her and Alya in canon because the latter would notice how withdraw she is and immediately work her magic to help her out. I also think she and Yuuga would be good friends since he knows french and they'd likely share interests in fashion (would make his betrayal hurt a lot too). She'd likely develop a celebrity crush on Todoroki like she did with Adrien, but he'd be less nicer about it since this is EarlyRoki and the subsequent fallout would both end the crush outright and make her reevaluate her behavior.

I also doubt her parents would care that much that Mari is quirkless (Headcanon that Tom would have a wolf-body quirk and Sabine would be able to temporarily turn her skin metal, or quirks that help with baking), but Marinette herself would likely be self-conscious about it, especially when she spent her childhood mocked for it by someone she considered a friend. It'd likely make her more willing to take OFA TBH, especially since unlike MLB, Marinette not only would be given time to adjust and actually learn about what she's getting into, she'd also have her mentor readily available to actually ask things of (and who would admit when he's lacking in resources/information for her and direct her to ore experience people). Also, unlike with the LB miraculous, Marinette misusing OFA would have actual physical consequences on her, so she'd learn that lesson a lot quicker.

OKAY THIS NEEDS EXPLAINING

so i had an idea for an...interesting epic au

a spinner decides which character is which. i inputted every epic character in a spinner, and rolled for two characters. i removed those characters from the spinner, and swapped their roles

for example, if the spinner landed on odysseus and then athena, their roles in the story would be swapped (this happened lol)

i made a couple of rules that make this easier. the goal is to make a story that at least kinda makes sense. some might change/more might be added

-each character should mostly be consistent with their original version. for example, i probably won't randomly make a character a god. i say 'probably' because for the gods that swapped with mortals, i made them mortals because there was literally no other way that made sense. for me, at least

-the character swapped only swaps the role, not relationships or connections. so my hera swapped with apollo, but that doesn't mean apollo is now with zeus

okay, so the story so far-

(ig this is pre-story info)

in this au, odysseus's trick to act insane to avoid going to the war works, and he does not go to the war. because of this, the ithacan forces (eurylochus, polites, crew, etc.) do not go either

the trojan horse does not exist in this au. it is the trojan horses, as in this au, they do it ares's way, and break into troy and kill and shit with blessed horses, who pull their chariots (rethinking this[i wanted to keep something of the trojan horse])

also, athena and odysseus do not meet prior. odysseus does still have a leg scar, but from a random boar, because i think that's cool

for reasons that will later be determined, some gods were turned to mortals, likely as a punishment. the gods turned to mortals lose their powers and skills.

athena was one of them. odysseus, by this point, is forty (five?), like he is at the end of the original. telemachus is twenty.

athena, despite being mortal, seems young, and odysseus mistakes her as a girl about telemachus's age (but older) and mentors her.

(athena looks bad focus on odysseus)

athena also goes by a different name, which i haven't decided on yet

+ doodle of what athena would probably look around at the beginning of the journey of this au

i wanna show the whole list i ended up with but i think i might not. if you guys want i will :]

i actually got pretty lucky with some results. i don't have a name for this au, so if you have ideas, tell me :>

(also, some of this info might change since my style in writing is 'ah fuck it' so yeah)

[firestorm09890]

I've been trying to think of the best Organization XIII Limbus Company au... the Nobodies as LCB sinners would hypothetically be fun, but doesn't really work because the LCB relies on having a group of people of vastly different backgrounds, while the Organization has the majority of them coming from the same place (plus they parallel the Sephirot from LobCorp more than the sinners anyway). the Sinners in an Organization XIII situation might be interesting, though. and then there's Dante. their role in the story is most similar to Roxas's (woke up one day with no memories, was told that they were super important and given a job, everyone is so mean to them) except Dante is the manager so like. au where Dante has a keyblade? au where Dante is leading the Organization members? can't go the other way around because they would Not put a fucking 15-year-old in a manager position in the city. Xemnas leading the sinners though? random character swaps so there's a blend of 'em because the numbers match? but which ones are most interesting? anyway in lieu of actually coming up with anything here's a game I call "I can connect anything in my mind"

#1: Xemnas and Yi Sang - they talk like that… such is all I have to say - miss their friends a lot. Yi Sang got over it thankfully and managed to love his new companions. Xemnas did not

#2: Xigbar and Faust - won't stop hinting about stuff they know that you don't - this is secretly because they've lived several more lifetimes than anyone else

#3: Xaldin and Don Quixote - lances. though Don's lance is actually a lance meant for horseback and Xaldin's... aren't

#4: Vexen and Ryōshū - somewhat disturbing fervor for their craft (science and art respectively) - despite this, is somehow a parent - very bad things happen to the children

#5: Lexaeus and Meursault - the biggest one in the group - very intelligent, but usually defaults to following orders - what if I hit you very hard and you died

#6: Zexion and Hong Lu - um uh uhm Land of Illusion ooooo - raised in a very high-class family but the situation is fucking dire - what are you hiding…

#7: Saïx and Heathcliff - comparable to a wolf but secretly also comparable to a bunny - making envy their entire personality

#8: Axel and Ishmael - their hair being the color of sunset is a significant plot device; at dusk, I think of you - homosexual relations!!!!! - relationship to #7 is. uh. it’s

#9: Demyx and Rodion - act silly but I’m convinced it is only partially genuine and mostly to take attention of their problems (canon for Rodya, speculation for Demyx)

#10: Luxord and Dante - time and gambling go hand in hand babey!! - who the fuck are you. who did you used to be. tell me

#11: Marluxia and Sinclair - imagery that belongs in a stained glass window - this is moreso about Lauriam than Marluxia but: very pleasant but hoo BOY do not make them mad - broooo your gender - ...dare I say something about Cain

#12: Larxene and Outis - WILL say something terribly mean to you and call you a weak little baby - would kill all her teammates for one corn chip. except for one of them

#13: Roxas and Gregor - merely treated as the weapon they wield, both idolized and reviled for it - age 15 forced to kill

opened my old art/comic ideas note for inspiration and wow there's so much in here

gil galad delayed his choice because he was already king when mandos asked (maybe dior did the same thing) so most people didnt even know he was peredhel until he died and his fea just completely vanished e&e, cirdan, galadriel, and tyelpe are the only ones who know, and none of them know what choice he made

peredhel galad!

just realized that bilbo's knowledge of 'how to talk to dragons' in conversation w smaug is probably bc of turin's famously disastrous conversation with a dragon

headcanon: TA galadriel actually doesn't like having particularly long hair but it would literally cause an entire International Diplomatic Conflict and probably start a minor war if she cut it. the moment she gets to valinor and is no longer a major world leader she immediately does a full Luthien Haircut.

celegorm reembodiment blood necklace

this is inspired by this one necklace i saw that looks like a stylistic blood slash

at this rate we're going to have more gils than oncelers

(from when we had about half as many gils as we do now)

between arwen's goth phase (why should I fear the gift of Death) and elrohir's feanorian phase (I will punch Death in the face and set myself on fire before I let Pauron walk free), plus elladan being dramatically along for the ride, 200-300SA was one of the most terrifying centuries of sauron's life

maglor has all the sewing skills expected of any artistically inclined grandchild of miriel daeron is actually miriel-level particularly with weaving together they can probably make depression maglor a new wardrobe in like a week also maglor spent the past four-ish Ages (he got out of his depression hole somewhere close to the fall of rome)perfecting Every Craft

this is from maglorath i think

'red enough to start a war' as a common SA/early-mid TA saying sometimes used literally for hair color (particularly suspiciously copper brunettes) mostly used metaphorically re: feanorian actions (often regarding elrond, ie "nearly red enough to start a war, what with all the kinslayers he's been sheltering"

maglor: crying screaming throwing up (continuing to murder small children)

regarding maglor being the one to openly acknowledge the tragedies while continuing to perpetuate them

from the mae dracula au

the high king regent/noldolante era music must have been incredible (obviously the noldolante would naturally overshadow literally anything else) but like. his grandfather died, his parents divorced, his mom left, his family invented several new crimes, he swore the Oath, he possibly got divorced himself, his dad died, his brother (presumably) died, and he got stuck with the kingship all within like. ten years thats like an entire album worth of lament

please don't fistfight morgoth

i have no clue who this is about but this is incredible and probably applies to any of the finweans

elrond preferred nouns

regarding the nature of peredhel as their own secret third thing

legolas: AAAAAAA gimli: aaaaa aragorn: i'm gonna fight it!! boromir: ok i'll help! gandalf: youre all idiots :/

(gandalfs-eye-view of khazad dum)

so you know the whole numenorean law about only marrying in the line of elros (btw its super funny that the whole law was explicitly because of aldarion and erendis' disastrous marriage). did anyone then even consider the possibility of marrying in the line of elrond. are all the ancient numenorean politicians hanging around the Halls watching aragorn and arwens wedding like !!!!!

pippin's son Faramir I must have been so incredibly tall (for a hobbit) like. he's a took obviously, and also like 4'6"+ and then his wife Diamond is diamond of long cleeve aka at least some part north-took. which makes her a descendant of Bandobras

imagine ringbearer-bilbo going on the Quest. like for all that he complains he is actually very good at the whole adventuring thing. he literally killed/fought off the spiders descended from spawns of ungoliant, rescued thirteen dwarves from thranduil oropherion who has no doubt been dealing with political prisoners for actual milennia, and managed to escape fully intact and only mildly disturbed from a conversation with a dragon. he'd get to mordor and finrod his way to barad dur with the power of limericks and rock-throwing.

ringbearer-bilbo in mordor, holding the phial of galadriel: earendil was a mariner that tarried in arvenien! he built a boat of silver felled in nimbrethil to sail in! sounds of violence ringbearer-bilbo meeting shelob: insert the attercop song

because the thing is, bilbo spends a great deal of his adventure terrified. but he is also incredibly skilled at, despite the fear, walking up to gigantic evil creatures and subtly challenging their manners into letting him go. he also knows a lot of history to draw from, hence the whole smaug convo.

glorfindel, gil, and elrond all travel east. the fellowship goes unnoticed when sandwiched between the armies of Lindon and Imladris.

prince elrond @ ar-pharazon: If thou wouldst deny the Gift of Men that Eru has granted upon thee, if thou wouldst truly seek to dismantle all that your forefathers have built, then thou art no nephew of mine. Tar-Miriel shall be Queen as is her right, and thou traitorous creature of Morgoth, I bid thee find a new home, if a single city shall accept thee after thy reign of cruelty and tyranny. Depart now from the land of my brother!

prince elrond @ castamir : we are all hybrids. that's literally our thing. peredhel? remember?

Lomion was an elven-king of him the harpers sadly sing the last whose realm was fair and free between the Mountains and the Sea His bow was strong, his sword was keen his shining Ring afar was seen; the countless stars of heaven's skies were mirrored in his silver eyes.

regarding a post about how a shared injuries soulmate au doesn't really work in silm-context because everybody would just be dead

okay but like. what did celegorm think was going to happen when he kidnapped luthien. the options are either a) she beats them up and escapes by herself b) melian beats them up and rescues her or c) thingol declares war, beats them up, and rescues her like. given who she is and who her family is there is zero way celegorm is getting out of that intact.

these are all so good what
