spitfire forgets that unfortunately she is still part of the family

[vaguely-concerned]

powerful mental image of lucanis expounding passionately about any given one of his limited but extremely deep areas of interest (the wyvern/knives/coffee/cooking/murder continuum of lucanis dellamorte special interests if you will) while rye lounges around and Beholds him with palpable twink boutta pounce energy

Me on Friday going to pick up my husband from the airport:

[thesealantern]

Cube and Lythorus were definitely the “straight but my god I don’t think I’ve seen a couple do some of this shit before” kind of friends in like middle school. You literally cannot tell me Lythorus hasn’t grabbed Cube by the waist as a joke before.

Anytime Cube remembers any of the stuff they did at that time he loses like 5 years from his lifetime.

Lythorus likes to randomly mention and or reference it and Cube always immediately bashes his head into the nearest wall, it’s a reflex by now.

Zuko and Sokka?

Alright alright alright this timing is phenomenal I was literally on Discord earlier with my "Sokka has two hands" agenda. Little known (not-so-little) fact is ATLA is just... that fandom for me. You'll be hard-pressed to find anything I don't ship because my opinions range from "huh this could be fun" to "heck yes." So, yeah, I'm a Zukka shipper. (Specifically if you add Suki to the mix because that trio means everything to me)

What made you ship it?

I mean, the Boiling Rock episodes personally fueled my Sokka/Suki/Zuko poly agenda. Not to detract from the Zuko/Sokka dynamic whatsoever. But I think these three together have such a fun dynamic. Zuko and Sokka legitimately make a great team, they have excellent chemistry. They work well together. The Boiling Rock arc is crucial to me for peaking my interest. I didn't get into it until the 2020 resurgence (I got COVID and I was bored so I rewatched ATLA). This was also post-Voltron hell. So it informed my shipping decisions impeccably.

What are your favourite things about the ship?

There's an aspect to how Zuko and Sokka speak with each other I quite enjoy? I think Sokka is quick to approach Zuko casually, and doesn't hesitate to poke fun at him even in light of their dynamic with him at that moment. Which is not to say Sokka doesn't take any aspect of Zuko seriously, but I think a character like Zuko is fun to pair up with someone who doesn't take his more melodramatic flair seriously or even to heart. Also, along with Suki (will not drop this agenda I'm not even sorry) they really have such a fun and well-rounded team? I think it's one of those "we fill in where the other's are not able to". Also Sokka has two hands. Also, I think couples that scheme together stay together. Once again, going to Sokka being quick to just acclimate to Zuko's presence in the group. I think he had reservations, but he ribs and picks at Zuko in a way that brings Zuko into the fold. I enjoy that. And Sokka has two hands.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Hm. I don't know. I think I definitely prefer it with Suki in the mix? That's just the nature of how I ship Sokka with people, to be honest. I think I'm going to ruffle some feathers when I say the popularity of Zukka was primarily because of Klance from Voltron. I just remember those two ships skyrocketing around the same time. And while I don't necessarily dislike Klance, sometimes the factors that I enjoy about Zukka get rewritten as Klance 2.0 and I find it mildly frustrating. (Not to bore you with Voltron drama! I just think the rise of Zukka is inherently tied to the popularity of Klance, though it was definitely a ship beforehand. Just interesting correlations.)

send me a ship

Had to do a sketch based on Sugar, sugar for @gogodollie 🖤

[jounosparticles]

cant decide who i'd rather be here

[soysaucevictim]

... I just had the silly image of the Gymrat!Twins calling eachother a gd weirdo.

And among the MANY many considered jabs/receipts... is Remus thinking Ro being allosexual is a bit weird. And Roman thinks his brother's alloromantic shit is a bit weird.

And mutually, These Dorks Just Don't Get It.

(I do be loving Aro!Ro + Ace!Mus shit v much over here. I just like these versions not being entirely repulsed/averse abt their respective axes... just very, very confused about the topic. Though Remus figuring that shit out sooner than Roman did... is especially hilarious given the gremlin's alexithymia.)

[allthemurders]

can i propose “maglennzie” for mackenzie & glenn’s ship name

[midnight--capricorn]

ok now they're ready

[ssruis]

Very miette of him. You make Rui wake up and come to school at a reasonable time?? You bribe Rui with the show talk and then don’t show up?? Oh! Explosions for Tsukasa-kun! Explosions for a million years!!

Squid Memes Squidbeak Splatoon (part 2)

Part 1 Here

More Harbor because he gave me Brain Worms

Born and Raised in Littol Beeg Bluff (yes the same Littol Beeg Bluff from "The Ballad of Dusty Grumpton" in the Factory Reset AU. I'm allowed to re-use my own ideas if I damn well please)

Comes from a blended family, and his stepmom and younger siblings (twin boy and girl around eight) are actually Koopa Troopas of all things.

The only playable Agent to both know and like his parents

Seriously Habor's moms are fucking awesome. Everybody in the NSS loves Harbor's moms

About 80% Humboldt Squid (aka Jumbo Flying Squid), which is why he's so fucking tall. It also means that he's really fast in swim form, to the point that he could probably outswim someone who'd filled all the slots on a piece of gear with Swim Speed Up without any Swim Speed Up investment of his own. (this is inspired by Lucky, another, very different version of Agent 4 made by EikaPrime on Ao3)

Eight

Yes she just goes by Eight. She was a little self-conscious about it at first but then she found out about SMG4 and the other SM64 Blooper Youtubers and no longer gives a shit

If she remembers her old name yet she's not mentioned it

Obviously doesn't remember her parents, but given the Domes are the kind of place where you can Start Training to Become an Advanced Military Hardware Engineer and Elite Soldier at Fucking Nine Years Old, I imagine she wouldn't have many memories of them even without the Amnesia

Contrary to popular fanon, my version of Eight doesn't have a scar from the Test Failed Bomb. This is because Respawn Pads (as long as they're fully functional) completely erase whatever the fatal injury was, leaving no trace apart from maybe some phantom pains if it was particularly nasty

She does, however, have plenty of scars from all the other shit she went through in that hellhole

Managed to complete every single test before she escaped

My version of Eight is a single year younger than Marina canonically is when they meet so I'm not going the Off the Hook Adoption route for this one (maybe in another AU with a more lose interpretation of Canon, but given this AU is specifically meant to adhere to Splatoon Canon as much as possible we're out'a luck this time), though she does still become very close friends with them

She's got Craig literally right there for any potential adoption attempts anyway

Very rarely speaks, but is expressive enough that most people can tell what she means anyway (you know Ferb? It's the exact same thing as what Ferb does)

Doesn't have a weapon preference. She's comfortable with any weapon she gets her hands on

Except Splatanas

She fucking hates Splatanas and everything they stand for

Configuring Frye's Palette in the Memverse was legitimately harder than dealing with her own Palette's stupid "Hacks or Chips, you can't have both" Gimmick Bullshit

Andi Finn

Has no fucking idea who her parents were and does not care

Actual supergenius who could probably build a functioning replica of Grizz's rocket out of scrap metal from just her memory of fighting on top of it. Never learned how to read before the NSS got ahold of her because she lived alone in the desert

Swears more than Bob

Can't remember where she learned Salmonid from

Somehow even the homeless kid has better hygiene than Paige

Made up her last name on the spot when she was signing up for a Turfing License (if you're wondering how she managed to sign up for a Turfing License when she couldn't read; With Great Difficulty)

Figures she probably isn't a full Inkling given her weird beartrap beak but doesn't give enough of a shit to take a DNA test about it

Yet

Paige dragged her home to their apartment almost immediately after the final battle against Mr. Grizz and she never left. It's not an official adoption but that's only because Paige is a bit oblivious to their own feelings on the matter and Andi doesn't know that paperwork is supposed to be involved

Almost exclusively calls Paige "Cap" even when they're out of uniform. I mean, she can't very well call them "Mom" or "Dad" since they're nonbinary, now can she? Paige has no idea that's what she means by it and just thinks it's a nickname because Andi gives everybody nicknames. Usually as insults

It took her 333 tries to get through "Splitting Crosshairs" (I legitimately Cannot beat that stupid kettle no matter how hard I try and want her to share my frustration but also want all four agents to have 100%ed their respective adventures so I'm just having it take her a comically long time to do)

Mains Explosher because it's the closest she can get to a Turf-Legal grenade launcher (for now...)

The Eternal Hunger, Devourer of the Bear

Is fine with people using Crabcake instead

Uses It/Its exclusively

Officially designated Agent 5 I will die on that hill

Was "The Eternal Hunger, Stabber of Ankles" before going through Return of the Mammalians

Will stab anyone who points out that it didn't actually eat Mr. Gizz, he just exploded

Extremely eloquent, but most people can't speak Salmonid so it just sounds like it's making the same gurgley noises as every other Smallfry

Once looked Marie dead in the eyes and said "No one will ever believe you" in perfect Inklish while they were alone. Has never said anything else in anything other than Salmonid where someone can hear it

Andi and Crabcake fucking hated each-other for the first third of their adventure before bonding over kicking Frye's ass and now they're inseparable

Actually gets its own uniform after everything's said and done. It consists of a little high-rez safety vest (like the one on Paige's field uniform), an earpiece (suction-cupped in place since it doesn't have external ears) in the same style as Andi's headset, and a clean black-with-thin-yellow-racing-stripes-on-the-sides pants...wrap...thing

It also got a new switchblade from Sheldon (the old one got lost in the space battle after it turned into Hugefry) with the same kind of black-with-blue-LEDs aesthetic as Paige's gear and a blade made of Sardinium

Also thinks that it and Andi are already adopted by Paige but that's for Salmonid Culture Reasons instead of Not Having an Education Reasons

Got separated from its swarm during a Run a few months before Return of the Mammalians. It wasn't too fussed about it and figured it could handle itself in the desert for a while and then either reunite with that swarm if it ran into them or join a new one if it happened to come across one. Because Salmonid Culture

Considers the NSS its current swarm

[caramelmochacrow]

esora as things totally not said by me (they are)

[captainmullin]

Their hands shook as they steadily regained their balance, their nerves on fire and oh, Bahamut, please don't tell me my face is red. Mullin glanced back at Rackam, who was fixing his jacket.

"That's, what, the second time I've saved you from falling over?" He laughed, but it was gentle. Reassuring. Mullin looked away, then, in an attempt to calm their racing heart.

When had things changed between them? Since the start of it all? They couldn't tell, nor would they admit that anything had changed - not out loud, at least. Yes, it'd be better for me not to tell him...

a little sneak peak of something... 👀

[bucksangel]

okay but. sambucky with the “there was only one bed” trope during a mission and they’re arguing abt who gets it until eventually they both cave and decide to share it but THEN obviously sexy times ensue bc of the clear tension bc they’re idiots in love and the next morning it turns out bucky specifically chose that motel who “conveniently” only had one room with one bed bc he was tired of waiting around and wanted to shoot his shot

[thisispoggers]

@soda-gremlin gay fish ftw

Bonus: fish Kornelius lmao
