<!-- CODESWAP 2025 --> This is for @miracleofdatabase I’ve really been enjoying your Code Lyoko fanfic, Cure Code! It was tough choosing just one scene —there were so many lovely Jerlita moments—, but here’s the one I went with. ☺️ Don’t know if anyone’s interested, but I thought I’d share the line art too!

being on tumblr is like being in a car in a parking lot

like it's technically public, but you're also sorta in your own little bubble, and people have to be Actively trying to listen in order to hear you, if they're even aware that you're speaking at all. and then sometimes you accidentally bonk the horn with ur elbow and suddenly the whole parking lot knows you're a virgin

Then at the end of the third cycle, when most of the humans were sleeping, I noticed it was following me around. I figured that was a sign it wanted to talk. I stopped in an empty corridor, faced the wall, and said, "What?" It stood there for .6 of a second with the standard neutral-blank expression. Our drones went into a holding pattern, circling above our heads. ----

Loved this interaction between Secunit and Three in Network Effect

Very Important Question

It's for Towards the Sun. No further information, because you're choosing your own spoiler. So:

The moon will sing a song for me, I loved you like the sun

Bore the shadows that you made with no light of my own

I shine only with the light you gave me

So, fun fact about the skinned FurReal pony - I got the ID wrong, but only because Smores and Butterscotch's necks are semi-fixed in position, and I didn't think to google if the image I had of Butterscotch was mirrored.

The skinned horse IS Butterscotch, not Smores, but all of that's besides the point.

The reason I'm making this post is that y'all need to know that they skinned Butterscotch to turn her into a flamethrower

What, the forest-dwelling entities with imperfect human mimicry who insinuate themselves into groups of hikers? Yeah, we had one of those. Clocked it immediately, of course. Honestly it kind of fell in that so-inept-it's-kind-of-charming range. We just played along until it'd had it's fill of marshmallows and shambled back into the treeline. We might have been violating some kind of killjoy wildlife contact best practices but what the hell, can't plan around every little thing. Why, what happened to you guys

The problem with writing established relationship fics is that the bastards insist on being cute together and won't let you get to the fucking plot.

like the first rule of cooking is to have fun and be yourself and the first rule of baking is to stay calm because the dough can sense fear

Being on Tumblr and also being into mechanical stuff is so weird sometimes. Like you'll see the word "brembo" and be like yeah that's one of the biggest names in high performance brakes, but also like that's a Tumblr ass nonsense word if I've ever seen one
