#I REALIZED I NEVER POSTED THIS I AM UPSETTI

[jewels-and-medicine]

“Well. This is all so sudden is it not? Your wedding is tomorrow, such a last moment event you have pulled just now.” The demon rose a brow, setting his hand back down upon the table. “Terrible timing.” Cade added, leaning back in his seat.

Dahl chuckled to his friend, shaking his head. “Sorry to ask you so late, I’ve been helping Dasiä and Jamison with the preparations- well- as much as I could. Dasiä seems to have everything under the ropes, she’s barely asked for any help at all, aside from a few color suggestions.” He breathed a sigh, smiling. “She’s so doting...”

Cade brushed his tendrils back, they wove in the air gently. “It seems to me she gave you the role of selecting your solemniser.”

“Yeah, that’s just about right. I figured you’d be perfect for the job, I trust you the most out of everyone else I know, and I thought you would have wanted an up close view of it. You love weddings, don’t you? That’s why you became a solemniser in the first place.” The Fiaclan claimed, eyeing his close friend for a good minute. “You don’t have to if you don’t want to, I can always ask some old human priest to do it-”

Dahl was cut off by a dull hiss, and he grinned. “No no, I can do it, I will do it.” Cade remarked, rolling his shoulders. “Besides, I would be able to chat with your mates, get to know them a little more. It’s been quite some time since your... wife’s passing, so I am happy for you to have them.”

“No funny demon business, Cade.” Candypants winked, earning a blank, expressionless look from his friend.

would love to hear the backstory hcs regardless of them being sad or not :0

SIGH. 

I wrote a lot and it got eaten by tumblr and I'm upsetti so IDK if this is any good. Also this is just Lio's backstory stuff and his parents. I could do Galo but maybe if anyones interested I will?? And not tonight..

Its sad and its LONG. So just be prepared for that. Its also 2 am so no one will read this anyway so...

tw for parental death, kidnapping, stalking, genocide, government abuse, and if i miss something my apologies

Do note this isn't the end all be all for a Lio back story. I honestly love everyones interpretations. Mine tends to be sad and less cool and edgey I guess? Everyone makes it cooler, I just go.. oh heres some sad mixed with reasons for Lio's mental illness. 

DO REALIZE. PLEASE. REAL GENOCIDE IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN THE WORLD AND IS NOT COMPARABLE AT ALL TO ANY FICTIONAL 'RACE' LIKE THE BURNISH.

Okay.

Lio's backstory and his parents.

--

Lio is a powerful burnish. We know that. He has massive control of his flames and a strong connection to the Promare. It is a common theory that he awoken as a Burnish rather young. I share that theory. Lio became burnish around 8-9 years old. Very very young. Most children who become burnish are taken away, hated by the parents or killed/arrested by Freeze Force. Lio was loved very much by his parents.

Like Simon and Nia. Lio's parents were rebels. They grew up in a world where there wasn't any burnish. They witnessed the uprising, the first World Blaze, the oppression of the burnish. They were against it. They were not burnish themselves but they could not just idly sit by and watch people get murdered and kidnapped for something they couldn't control. Lio's parents joined the rebellion quickly.

His father being an inspiring man, friendly, loveable, a leader, and a beacon for the good of all man and Spiral kind. He was fond of pointy glasses, capes and inspirational speeches. His mother was kind, a bad cook but still tried, soft spoken and believes there is good in everyone. Lio got his attitude from his father, his soft spokeness from his mother. And maybe some magical pretty eyes and hair from his mom too.

His parents were anarchists. His father worked in a line of direct action. Fighting and pushing back against the government, rioting, sabotaging government burnish kidnappings, breaking people out of prison, etc. His mother pretended to play 'stay at home mom'. She worked with the community to build unity and strength within. She'd homeschool Lio to make sure he was not fed propaganda that was quickly over taking the education system. She owned a community garden and helped feed everyone. From a young age Lio was surrounded and taught to be kind and help others.

Unfortunately, Lio was an unexpected child in an unexpected time. The activism of his parents cause the young family and the young child to be targets of the government. Considering they werent burnish and no crimes could be found on them, Freeze Force just wanted the annoying pests to be eliminated. But killing a quiet family wouldn't look good on their part. They wanted to scare them out of activism, scare them into obeying the order. Lio became an easy target.

Strange men started to stalk Lio. It was quickly noticed by his parents and caused them to isolate their child from the world. Lio was a lonely kid, he wasn't allowed friends, couldn't go to the park and mostly stayed home with his mother. 

One day while playing in the backyard, Lio wandered off. His mother was keeping an eye on him of course, but kids are kids. And Lio was Lio and a rebellious kid. He wandered off into a stranger who was watching him from afar. Waiting for Lio to get far enough away to be grabbed. The stranger threw a bag over Lio's head and desperately tried to throw him into a van. Lio was young and small and scared. He was suddenly covered in flames. Burning both himself and the stranger. 

His mother who was already frantically looking for her child, suddenly saw flames appear in her backyard. She grabbed a hose and hosed them down. Only to see her child still on fire. She grabbed Lio, ignoring the burns and ran into the house away from the stranger. After placing Lio in the shower and calming him down, telling him he was safe, she quickly packed bags and left with Lio. 

The family moved to a new house quickly. The news never mentioned a man being burned by the burnish, but they couldn't risk anything.

They now had a burnish son, who was lonely, scared, paranoid and burning everything all the time. In their activism the parents grew to understand the burnish struggles and needs. Not to the extent of understanding completely as they were not burnish but they tried. They loved Lio and did everything they could to help him. His father would teach him to control is flames to make objects, from toys to animals to swords. His mother had him help with cooking, control the flames to not burn the food. They served many burned dinners either way. One day they walked in on Lio climbing into the oven while it was turned on. Freaking out, but suddenly realized he was fine. Lio's excuse was he wanted to see the fires. 

Lio would talk about how the fire spoke to him. How he needed to burn. It became a common thing of Lio bursting into flames just from laughing too hard or crying or just any emotion being felt a little bit too hard. His father always had a pair of fire proof gloves in his pocket and would pick up Lio and rush him into the shower to cool down. He could burn all he wants in the shower with no water, but if it got too much he was to turn it on and cool off. 

The house furniture had scorch marks in Lio's favorite spots. Lio's favorite books needed multiple copies because he'd get so excited from certain parts in the story he'd set the book aflame. He was to watch his mother garden from afar to not burn the plants. Lio learned to make fire that wasn't hot quickly so he could still burn in excitement or joy and not harm his parents or things.

His parents were still activist. Laying low but committed in making the world a better place for their son. His mother stayed home still to teach Lio as he got older. His father would do more secretive work but it'd cause him to not come home for days. They were still being hunted. And possibly even more so since information about their burnish son may be known.

Lio was 12 when he was home, staring into the fireplace, breathing with the flames. His father was out for work. His mother busy in the garden out front. A Freeze Force van pulled up. His mother quickly ran inside. "Lio, go hide. Now." But it was too late. Large men pounded through the front door and threw a bag over Lio's mother's head. Lio screamed for her and burst into flames. He tried to direct them at the men who now had his mother on the floor. But suddenly everything was cold. Lio was shot frozen. And blacked out.

Freeze Force arrested Lio. They told him his parents were killed for treason. Lio was to be experimented on. He never saw them again.

When he finally broke out of prison, he tried to go home. There was a new family in his house. They quickly called the cops on him and Lio ran. Lio was on the run for years. Joining and leaving groups of burnish, being on his own for some years. 

When he finally found the Mad Burnish, interacting with others was foreign to him. He managed to connect with Meis and Gueira only. They respected Lio's way of communication, no touching, less talking, more actions, more burning. 

Being on the run, with and without the Mad Burnish, made Lio never really have a 'home'. The only one he ever had was taken from him. After the Parnassus events, staying put or settling down wasn't in him. Lio continued to travel with Meis and Gueira to aid other ex burnish around the world. He'd come back to Promepolis every so often to stay in touch with Galo. They'd mostly call and video chat from afar but it was nice to see eachother after all they've been through.

It took Lio over a year to finally discuss his feelings with Galo. And even then, when they finally became romantically involved, Lio requested they 'take it very very slow'. Lio continued to travel and help others but started staying at Galo's apartment more. It took another year for Lio to finally call Galo's apartment... home.

When Lio finally opened up to Galo about what happened when he was younger.. Galo told him how proud Lio's parents would be of him. How he was still so kind, loving and helping others, just like his parents. How proud they'd be knowing Lio saved the world.

Okay! That was sappy and i tried to end it nice??? I didn't proof read this... its 230 am... ive got insomnia so whatever but staring at a screen typing doesnt help nor did tumblr eating this post first and having to rewrite it.

Once again this is just thoughts. I'd love to know what anyone thinks. Ive seen much cooler more actiony backstories of Lios parents being ex mad burnish leaders or something. I just got sad. pft.

Thank you for reading if you got this far!!! Much love!! Hope I didn't make anyone feel horrible. GNIGHT!

[goldenworldsabound]

Okay so this is really random but I actually really love Star Trek (especially the original series) and I know you self ship with Spock so is it okay if I please ask for the background and some details about your insert perhaps? 👉🏻👈🏻🥺

cracks knuckles I LOVE TALKING ABOUT SPOCK AND TREK AND ALSO YES TOS IS SO GREAT!!!!!

I’mma shove the whole thing under a cut cause I wanna go off fhdkjads

Spock was my first fave ever (and he’ll always be very special for it) over a decade ago when I was in high school. I wrote tons and tons of pages about us. And I never told a soul until I got back into self shipping 3 years back or so. The original idea I had for my interest (which is not the current one) was that like. I got teleported into the future randomly (except it wasn’t random and I covered this in a zany time travel plot type episode) and turns out Trek Real. So Kirk and Bones and Spock were all trying to help me adjust and stuff! Kirk and Bones were familial figures for me at that time and Spock 🥺 Spock was like. Very uncertain how to deal with me BUT he respected how much I wanted to adjust to being thrown a thousand years into the future and he taught me SCIENCE things and we fell in LOVE. There were so many plots and twists and turns of this relationship but we bonded and got married and it was great 🥺❤💕 I could go on forever about the various episodes for this SI but I will hold off for the moment because that’s the old SI. The old tag was #love is fascinating hehe

My NEW SI is a childhood friends to lovers with Spock 👀 I have some fics I’ll link at the end actually BUT her family lived on a variety of planets throughout her childhood. One of those was Vulcan! Where she met young Spock who was still learning how to be more Vulcan than human. They became close friends for the time that she lived on Vulcan and accidentally brushed minds enough together that they created a small, weak bond. They didn’t know this!!! they were just two lonely kids messing around you know. She also defended him against bullies once which while it made him happy ultimately made things a little worse for him but ): what can you do

But then her family leaves (and Spock doesn’t go see her off because he knew he’d cry and his dad would be Disappointed ™) and it’s really sad ): eventually her family gets into some sort of space accident which she alone survives by being cryogenically frozen. It takes a few years before she’s found, so the age gap between them has widened since she just. Didn’t age as she’s cryogenically frozen. This means that by the time she’s doing Starfleet training, Spock is already done.

Eventually the Enterprise is being set up for it’s 5 year mission and she’s chosen to be a Science Officer onboard to serve under Spock. She’s been through a lot of shit and doesn’t remember why he seems familiar at first (also he’s grown up and is a lot more Vulcan and a lot less human), but upon getting near him the bond kind of tingles at the back of her mind and she’s like OH!!!! OH IT’S YOU!!!! Spock of course does remember her but he’s like we don’t have time for that yet launching a starship is very busy. He also realizes he’s sort of weakly bonded to her and he’s like ah that’s bad because...I am bonded to T’Pring.

SO!!! Spock and I work together on and off the bridge, and on missions, and everyone is like wow those two work together really well! Which most people don’t get along that well with Spock at first. But the first shoreleave we have Spock is like hey...look...we’re sort of bonded and that’s bad so let me undo that. And I’m devastated (he’s also devastated but quietly) because like his presence has been in my mind for most of my life and suddenly it’s gone and also I’d totally fallen for him and he’s bETROTHED and I’m just like. Fuck this. Fuck that. Fuck. Very upsetti. But Kirk and Bones see me being grumpy and alone on shore leave so they hang out with me and that starts up our friendships (and eventual romance with Kirk).

But Spock and I continue to be really close and work together very well and rumors circulate about us having crushes on each other. Which. It does seem to be the case. But I’m like NO he can’t have a crush on me he’s BETROTHED and I’m full of heartache at all times (Spock is too but that’s harder to notice obvs). Actually we’re both very professional about it in general and we ignore the rumors.

EVENTUALLY we get to The Pon Farr Episode fjkhdsaf and I’m super pissed and I yell at everybody (T’Pring, Vulcan elders, you know, lots of folks I shouldn’t yell at) about how I love Spock and this is just!!! Ridiculous and fuck you specifically T’Pring (grrRRRRRR) and Bones gets me to calm down but it’s TOO LATE Spock 300% heard me say I love him. But I’m like I guess it doesn’t matter cause he might die.

Of course he doesn’t and that’s very good but now I am thoroughly embarrassed because I confessed in front of so many people so I avoid Spock to the point that it affects our work and Jim is like Wendy. You have to talk to him. He’s trying to talk to you. I say this as your friend but soon I’m gonna be saying it as your Captain and I’m like okay. Fine. I guess. And then we talk and we start dating hKJFEWHJFKEWHJK it’s tender, I promise.

Also up until Pon Farr Episode shit Kirk and I have been dating on and off too (secretly) but like. I mean we both love each other but we also are both pretty obviously into Spock and it’s hard because Kirk struggles with the fact that the ship has to be his first priority so it’s not really fair to me if he dates me (I insist I don’t mind but I’m also super preoccupied thinking about Spock a lot of the time).

After Spock and I are bonded and married this becomes an OT3 situation as well because um we both love Kirk.

So hopefully some of that was intelligible KHFJFHW here is a link where you can find all the fics I posted sorted by ship!!! The OT3 is #interwoven stars, Spock and I is #across time and space, and Kirk and I is #solar flare love

thanks for coming to my TED Talk

[extreme-technicality]

does talking to an anon help about ninjago help? cuz I'm down

DHDKCKGSC YES IT DOES THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR OFFERING YOUR SERVICES

Okay now that I know I won’t be clogging people’s dashes buckle the fuck in my dude and I should stress that I literally would not be talking about this as much as I will be if I didn’t genuinely enjoy the show. I’m gonna go season by season and just Rant

S1 has the serpentine as the bbeg and like, as far as villains go they’re p lit. They’re early enough that they haven’t been done to hell, things are fresh, the characters and dynamics are being fleshed out, and all in all s1 is a pretty solid season. There’s some fuckery that gets brought up re: how the FUCK aging works and what the actual timeline of Ninjago is and how Wu and Garmadon fit into that timeline, fuckery that LITERALLY NEVER GETS RESOLVED IN A SATISFYING WAY BC ITS REVEALED IN A LATER SEASON (s8, dw we’ll get there lmao) THAT THE ONLY REASON THE FIRST SPINJITSU MASTER, WU, AND GARMADON LIVED AS LONG AS THEY DID IS CUZ THEYRE BASICALLY DEMIGODS AND ITS IMPLIED THAT LLOYD WILL ALSO LIVE FOR A LONG ASS TIME WHICH MEANS ONE DAY HES GONNA OUTLIVE ALL HIS FRIENDS AND EVERYONE HE EVER LOVED WHICH IS A FUN THING TO THINK ABOUT AT NIGHT But anyway I digress, s1 also coincidentally introduces Lloyd (he wasn’t in the pilot episodes that set up the rest of the series) and the existence of Evil Dad Garmadon.

S2 is where Garmadon starts acting a lot more Evil and a lot less Dad. He’s the main antagonist for that season, and I actually read somewhere that the show was originally slated to end after s2 which high key explains the fuckery of literally every single season after this lmaooooo. Much like s1, I really can’t find much to complain about, the first two seasons are pretty decent as far as I can remember

Season. Fucking. Three. Where the fuck do I start??? I hate season three for entirely personal reasons revolving around the STUPID GODDAMN ROMANCE WRITING. okay lemme back up and explain a thing first so, Jay is dating Nya and they’re fine, they’re going steady, aND THEN????? THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON INTRODUCES BULLSHIT LOVE TRIANGLE FUCKERY FOR ZERO GODDAMN REASON, BITCH I HATE LOVE TRIANGLES AND I HATE THEM EVEN MORE WHEN THEYRE DONE FOR NO GODDAMN REASON!!! AND THEN. AS IF THAT WERENT ENOUGH. THEY SHOEHORNED A ROBOT ROMANCE BETWEEN ZANE AND PIXAL AND I KNOW I RANTED ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT WHEN I WAS ACTUALLY WATCHING BUT I DIDNT GO INTO ENOUGH DETAIL!!!! THEY MADE THE OTHER NINJA OOC IN ORDER TO PROP UP THEIR SHIP!!!!!! AND AT ONE POINT ZANE GOES “its like we were…made for each other” AND I HAD TO FUCUCJDHVE I HAD TO SCREAM INTO A PILLOW BRO, IM SO TIRED!!!! NO THE FUCK YOU WERENT!!!!!! YOU WERE MADE FOR YOU AND PIXAL WAS MADE FOR PIXAL AND IF YALLS WANNA BANG BOLTS THATS FINE BUT DONT IMPLY THAT EITHER OF YOU WERE MADE INCOMPLETE!!!! THATS AN INSULT TO YOUR MAKERS AND YOURSELVES, MOVE ON, PLEASE AND THANK YOU. anyway that season also killed Zane (for the first time, but not the last) (spoiler alert lmao) and like, not to be an emotional little shit but I did cry a bit at his funeral.

S4 is honestly one of my favorites, even though the romance crimes continue (the love triangle bullshit is continuing and honestly I maintain that Cole, Nya, and Jay should all have gotten together and in my personal canon they DID, and also Kai has a forced romance) the VILLAIN makes up for it imo. He’s campy!! He’s funny!! He’s a clown!! He’s serious enough that if he says “I’m gonna kill you” HE MEANS IT and that’s so fucking refreshing!!!! S4 is honestly 8/10 just for the villain alone, don’t like that it retconned the SHIT out of the elemental masters and how many different elements there are TO master but eh, it’s ninjago, shit is stupid.

S5 was…interesting? OH WAIT I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT S3 INTRODUCED A GARMADON WHO WAS A LOT LESS EVIL AND A LOT MORE DAD, HONESTLY I THOUGHT IT TOOK A LOT OF THE FLAVOR OUT BUT THATS JUST ME LMAOOO. anyway s5 killed Garmadon, and I was a little sad cuz I like him okay??? I just think he’s NEAT, he’s got big dad energy, he was teaching Lloyd some shit that just got DROPPED and literally was never brought up again which is honestly a theme in Ninjago. Ninjago drinking game: take a shot every time they introduce a plot point or ability and drop it at or before the end of the season. WHICH THEY ALSO DID IN S5 WITH A DIFFERENT POWER ACTUALLY, so all the ninja are masters of Spinjitsu right, well s5 introduced the concept of Airjitsu which only Spinjitsu masters can learn and it lets them FLY and they used that for seasons 5 and 6 and then they nEVER BROUGHT IT UP AGAIN EVEN THOUGH IT WOULDVE COME IN HANDY FOR S E V E R A L DIFFERENT SITUATIONS ACROSS THE SEASONS, ONE OF THEM WOULD BE FALLING TO THEIR DOOM AND MY ASS WOULD BE YELLING “YOU CAN FLY, DUMBASS” - anyway, they do that again later lmao it’s fine. But what’s low key NOT fine is they made Nya the WATER NINJA!!! Like I’m not mad she has powers, except I kinda am, she was doing just fine as Samurai X and honestly the only reason she has super special ninja powers is for plot reasons. Also Cole got turned into a ghost, but by s7 he’s????? No longer a ghost????????? And that’s NEVER addressed or reasoned away, so like. Cool lmao

S6 didn’t happen. Like, canonically, s6 ends with wish fuckery that undoes the entire season and none of the characters remember anything that happened except Jay and Nya because S6 is the season where they get back together so they remember all those events for???? Feelings reasons?????? Unclear, moving on. The actual bbeg for S6 was a djinn with a vaguely Spanish accent, and to this DAY I don’t know why they made him have a SPANISH accent. Djinn are Arabic, not Spanish!! They’re not central or South American, either!!!! Your villain design makes no sense, do better

S7 had MORE time fuckery, and retconned what happened to Kai and Nya’s parents and hmmmhmhmhmhmhm that makes me Upsetti Spaghetti :3 not just the retconning, but the fact that they LITERALLY brought them back oNLY TO NEVER MENTION THEM AGAIN!!!!!! LITERALLY!!!!!!!! Okay so at the VERY very beginning, like pilot episodes beginning, Kai talks about their dad like he died/left fairly recently, BUT s7 contradicts that and claims that both of their parents were essentially abducted when Kai and Nya were little kids, which makes me question what in the fresh fuck two little kids were doing for all those years alone. SETTING THAT ASIDE FOR A HOT SECOND, their parents were also apparently good friends of Wu’s and old war buddies (from the Serpentine wars, which is YET ANOTHER bit of the timeline that doesn’t quite add up but honestly I could make a whole other post about that shit). But if they were such good fucking friends, why didn’t Wu check in every now and again??? What the fuck was Wu doing that was so fucking important that he couldn’t have been assed to visit his friends ONCE in like TEN MOTHERFUCKING YEARS and realize “oh shit, they’re not here and there are two tiny children running around unsupervised…My Kids Now : )” LIKE????? WU YOU LOW KEY SHOULDA LOOKED OUT FOR YOUR FRIENDS’ KIDS BETTER, THEY COULDA DIED BRO!!! Uhhhh the time fuckery also results in Wu getting yeeted ahead in time a bit and the ninja gotta find him

Season. Eight. I have…mixed feelings about this one. The beginning absolutely SLAUGHTERED me, and not in a “this is so fucking funny” way. No, the beginning made me feel like I was being flayed alive with just about every episode because Ninjago was back on its forced romance bullshit and this time it was Lloyd’s turn on the chopping block. That hurt my soul cuz like, look at that mans color scheme, he’s CLEARLY alloaro, why are you forcing romance on my aro man, why would you hurt me like that, BUT ALSO BECAUSE HE AND THE GIRL HE WAS BEING SET UP WITH HAD A LITTLE HEART TO HEART REALLY EARLY ON AND IT WAS THE MOST QUEER CODED SHIT!!!! IT DEADASS READ AS A CONVERSATION BETWEEN AN OUT AND PROUD QUEER AND A CLOSETED QUEER AND THEY MADE!!! IT!!!!! STRAIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! The only thing that kept me watching at first was wanting to find Wu, and then I started enjoying myself once Cole found a plot-relevant baby and had fatherhood thrust upon him. Everything went from “ehhhhh” to “holy shit this FUCKS” once it was revealed that Rumi (Lloyd’s love interest) wAS PLAYING HIM THE WHOLE TIME AND WAS EVIL AND HAD AN EVIL GIRLFRIEND!!!!!! LITERALLY IMPROVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THE SEASON FOR ME, I COULD EVEN FORGIVE THE WHOLE “let’s resurrect Garmadon, but as evil as possible” BULLSHIT!!!!!!

S9 is a continuation of s8, Garmadon is back and 1000% Evil, 10% Dad, but none of the Dad energies is directed at Lloyd - it’s all directed at Rumi, and honestly I could write a whole ass post on just RUMI cuz that’s honestly my DAUGHTER and I LOVE HER and I’m MAD SHE DIES AT THE END OF THIS SEASON!!!! SHE DESERVED THERAPY AND TO LIVE WITH HER GF AND MAYBE SOME CRIME. AS A TREAT. RUMI DESERVED BETTER AND LOW KEY IM GONNA WRITE A FIC ABOUT IT, BUT ANYWAY WHERE WAS I

Ah right, so s9 has the four major Ninja stuck in the original dimension with no way home, while Lloyd has no powers (cuz he almost died last season) and has to somehow lead a resistance against Garmadon (who has taken control of Ninjago City and is working on the rest of Ninjago). Actually, s9 is pretty cool. Like, the end of s8 and into s9 are low key my favorite episodes, and I kinda wanna rewatch them now -

S10 is a FUN one. Garmadon got got last season, but he didn’t DIE, so he’s in cold storage and now there’s Another Threat and he’s the only one who knows wtf they’re up against so they let him out and he works with them. The funny part is, he is still Very Much Evil and doesn’t quite Get emotions like he did when he was, uh, human lmao, sO HE WOKE UP EVERY DAY DURING THAT SEASON AND DECIDED TO CAUSE PROBLEMS ON PURPOSE. IT WAS THE FUNNIEST FUCKING SHIT. 1000000/10 MY FAVORITE GARMADON, he ended that season by literally fucking off into Ninjago and they never decided to track him down 😭😭😭😭😭and I’m so SAD about it dude

S11 has another Serpentine as the bbeg, though in the setup to that they retconned how the fucking Serpentine tribes and history work??? I think???? Also Wu was a good 150% angrier and generally Done with the ninja’s shit, which was honestly refreshing tho I’m not quite sure I liked what the refreshed view was, but whatever lmao. S11 also had the ninja get yeeted to the dimension farthest from Ninjago, and honestly - okay, so they didn’t all go at the same TIME, Zane left about a week or two before the others did but there was time dilation fuckery afoot which I’m not too mad about cuz low key it makes sense. What I AM mad about is that they didn’t play the angst up to its full POTENTIAL!!!!!! Zane was EVIL in the other dimension!!!! Okay so I’m Ninjago he was only gone for maybe a week or two, but DECADES had passed in the other one, and all that time Zane was alone and disconnected from everyone he knew and loved, with a staff that boosted his power while slowly corrupting him and Turning Him Evil to help him, and like???? The thought of Zane trying to find a way home, trying to get SOME sort of message back, while he has to use the staff more and more to help him survive the long, lonely decades, so that by the time his family DOES show up its too late??? BRO. B R O. THAT JUST HITS DIFFERENT, BUT NINJAGO DIDNT DO THAT!!! THEY MADE HIM EVIL DUE TO MEMORY WIPE!!!!!! MEMORY WIPE IS BABY SHIT COMPARED TO A LONG, SLOW CORRUPTION!!!!!!

S12 was alright. It went into Cole’s mom, touched on some of the adventures she had had, threatened another forced romance (this time on poor Cole, just leave my mans ALONE) but thankfully didn’t follow through this time, introduced cool new powers that honestly hasn’t been elaborated on since that’s the most recent season I think lmao

Anyway thanks for reading and letting me rant!!!! I have,,So Much More I could talk about, PLEASE ask me about Rumi, some of my headcanons re: Garmadon and Wu’s dynamic, the Serpentine, my top five times they butchered Kai’s character for Plot Reasons, or anything else I brought up here that you want me to elaborate on!!!

[burnedbyshoto]

this is a bit of a large rant about my mental state and an anon issue that was happening awhile ago because it made me upsetti spaghetti :)

please ignore if you dont want to see me as depressed or bitter mad

i’m tired.

i feel like crying. I want to scream.

I want to stop this fucking headache that seems to be everpresent in my head right now.

im scared, im worried, im exhausted.

I havent done my laundry in weeks because im too tired to fucking do it. im exhausted with my friends and im a fucking extrovert and it makes me dizzy.

I don’t pay that much attention to tumblr tbh, my only notifications I have is for when people message me because getting notifications on how my posts do gives me anxiety that I dont need.

I had to fucking read many posts about my friends not deserving the followers they had, not deserving the fucking notes they get on a thirst post. do you realize how fucking fucked up that is???? first of all, smut is always going to be more popular than any fluff or angst piece you can drop. the nature of tumblr is horny. the nature of tumblr is to be 17+ in order to fucking sign up. write a goddamn smut piece and I bet you that you’ll get the notes youre fucking craving. shut up about how long you’ve been on here in correlation to the number of followers you have. the first person I saw with it was jo. jo has been writing since fucking may. M A Y. that means she has been writing for six months. and just barely hit 5k followers. sky who has been writing for 3 months has around 3k now. do you fucking see how crazy you’re being??? I hAVE BEEN WRITING SINCE AUGUST AND I HAVE ALMOST 3.5K FOLLOWERS?! 

im not trying to say you’re a bad writer, nor am I trying to not validate you as a writer, but you’re being a fucking cunt to people who are putting in the same amount of effort you are. people like what they like and sometimes you just gotta shrug it off and continue. I write and post every single fucking day. do you even realize that? jo wrote fucking 31 different and entertaining pieces surrounding sex. sky fucking writes the fluffiest and cutest shit ever. they are my goddamn friends because I made an effort. I fucking met sky because I was just trying to see if I wrote bakugou as his canon character. I didnt know who the hell she was or that she was a writer until after the fact. that was well before I even hit 1k and probbaly wasn’t even at 500. I met jo because she commented on my fic and I hopped right into her dm’s because I noticed and she is a smut god in my eyes. 

and then about reblogging and liking. if you havent noticed I dont do any of that. why? because I dont read anything.

reading stresses me out because guess what, it doesnt matter if I have 20k followers or 1, I will always compare my work. I think everyone is a better writer than I am, and im not afraid to admit that. everyone has their talent and im still trying to find mine. when I comment, like, or reblog you need to know how goddamn difficult it is for me to read that shit. I have never read anything I havent liked, but good god I can not for the life of me go through the shouto tag anymore because it hurts me seeing other people write things I wish I had thought of, or write something so beautifully it invalidates my own things.

im tired and im exhausted.

oh yeah, just because writers have a lot of followers doesn’t mean shit.

I still struggle to get past 200 notes.

I still struggle getting my things reblogged, commented on, or liked.

I have 3k followers and my most successful post only has 1.4k notes. yeah, do the fucking math, thats not even 50% of the people who follow me, so guess what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nothing fucking changes.

your problems dont fucking magically go away just because you have enough fucking followers to make your own state. just find your fucking mutuals if thats whats concerning to you. but if you’re here for the damn notes and the followers I suggest you leave because guess what, shit isn’t ever going to be easy.

I'm Asexual!! 💜🖤

Hey, so I'm kinda frustrated, only because I spent like an half an hour typing out this message only for tumblr to delete it and it didn't get saved so yeah I'm upsetti spaghetti, so this time I'm gonna try and cut it down. I will keep this free of spoilers for season 3, I promise.

I thought I'd try and get a good solid chunk of an episode worth of planning done for season 3 and I already got stuck on the first scene with the gang. At least on how to write Will and Readers dynamic and how their relationship will have developed over the past year since season 2. And it kinda hit me that I don't think I ever told you guys.

Anyways, I'm asexual!

In case you aren't familiar or you aren't 100% clear on what that means, the general definition is a person who does not necessarily experience sexual and/or physical attraction towards another person.

Don't quote me, it can mean many different things to many different people, there isn't just one type of asexual person.

Anyways that might make a lot of sense to some of you who may or may not have noticed a severe lack of pda and physical affection between reader and Will. [Aside from the fact that he's missing most of season one and like, more or less half there season 2 seeing as he gets possessed] but the most important thing to me that I kept in mind was that in season one and two they are literally 12/13 so they are still awkward and shy and not ridiculously or actually in love with one another.

But the biggest thing is, writing that kinda stuff like kissing, is weird and unnatural to me. I'm not going to go into it but I've only ever been in one relationship before and when I had a boyfriend, and I thought I was expected to all this normal pda stuff and found myself dreading being around him even though I liked him, that's when I realized I was asexual.

You might be wondering why I started writing an x reader series if I'm asexual. Easy. I didn't know I was when I decided I wanted to write the story.

And no worries, I'm not giving up on this this series, but I'm also not going to write anything I'm not comfortable with.

This is still an x reader series, I just am not going to be writing a whole bunch of kissing or anything more than that. I'm just not comfortable with it and even if I did it would be terrible, I assure you 😂

Of course there will still be fluff! Of course there will be hand holding and cute awkward moments, and shy messes and sure I'll try to write an occasional peck here and there later on as the story progresses but I'm just not going to write anything more intense than that. The thought of even having to do anything beyond that terrifies me and that's not what writing this series should make me feel.

Being asexual is not something I am ashamed of. And it is not something I have tried to hide from any of you. I still feel deeply. I love deeply, and I still feel attraction, just not physically. And that's okay! While we are on the subject, I'm also bi! As I like to put it, I like to window shop but I never want to buy anything 😂

Anyways, I realize that not everyone like me gets to live as openly as I do and my heart goes out to them. Anyone who is the same and maybe is in a place where they can't or maybe aren't ready to share who they are and THAT'S OKAY!!!! Or maybe they have shared who they are people aren't ready to accept them, I accept you. The point is, as long as we can accept ourselves, then even that is okay. It gets better. If anyone needs someone to talk to I'm always here! Who knows maybe, you read this and it felt all too familiar and you might be realizing some things about yourself, again you can always talk to me, even if this post is like a million years old.

Anyways. That's all I wanted to say. Thank you taking the time to read this and feel free to ask me questions although if you do I prefer you do it through DM seeing as I can't reply directly on comments. And thank you for understanding, and if you can't seem to wrap your head around this then I'm truly sorry. And come back anytime when you are ready.

Thank you 🖤💜🖤

also i would like to introduce to the voltron fandom some new and exciting ships featuring Matthew James Holt:

Matt and Keith:

there are approx. 2 art works for this and one conspiracy theory-esque post (i mean that in the best way tbh) about them

but think about it

shiro introduced them

they bond over conspiracy theories and what a dork shiro is

they also both love space

matt runs on the treadmill while keith does some combat practice

them snuggling together, looking up at the stars, and talking about what aliens could be looking back at them

reunion that shocks everyone, as mentioned in post above. 

“my life would have been a lot different if i hadn’t met you shiro”

because he introduced him to his boyfriend matt

if other shippers are allowed to reach then so am i dang it

Shiro x Matt x Keith:

i like to call them the Original Garrison Trio

all of them are gay for each other

shiro and matt probably got together first tbh leaving keith to Pine

shiro and matt were super into keith though, so a lot of their conversations were about how lovely and strong and pretty and amazing he was

eventually shiro and matt are just like “we wanna date u do you wanna date us”

keith says yes as awkwardly as they asked him

the three of them are super happy together and are grossly affectionate

ALSO ANGST-

no one likes keith

he’s put on a pedestal, never studies, aces the flight simulator

he also comes off as arrogant and rude

he’s really just Mr. Darcy it’s chill i love you keith

when the three of them start dating people accuse keith of trying to break them up or smth

matt and shiro are Ready to Fight and quickly dismantle these rumors by showering keith in love and affection publicly while keith blushes

ALSO FLUFF-

pushing beds together for sleep overs

stargazing

making plans for when matt and shiro get back from kerberos

too bad they never come back wHOOPS MORE ANGST

Matt x Lance x Shiro:

you’ve heard of shance, you’ve heard of latte, now get ready for: shlatte

basically add matt to a ship and it gets better

note: this also works with hunk, as will be demonstrated shortly

matt and shiro being A Thing pre-galra

then during Voltron Times Shiro and Lance have a little unrequited mutual pining going on there

then shiro disappears and matt appears

boom, matt and lance bond while they look for shiro and more mutual crushing

then matt and shiro Reunite TM and lance is upsetti

and there isn’t even spaghetti smh

lance draws back while matt and shiro are in their love bubble

but matt and shiro both quickly realize they both love lance too

so eventually, with a lot of convincing that yes lance, they are serious and yes lance, we’re both in love with you- why wouldn’t we be they all get together

matt and lance are super affectionate all the time and drag shiro into snuggle piles at every available moment

Matt x Hunk:

MECHANIC BOYS

bonding over being the Team Mechanics TM

they’re both so soft and sweet

matt will eat anything hunk cooks

matt eats a lot and hunk cooks a lot so it’s perf

Casual Affection TM

Soft but Strong Boys

‘you’re my whole world bro’

legit, this doesn’t even have to be romantic, i just love them both sm

SOFT!!! FACE!!! KISSES!!! 

matt steals hunks clothes and then denies that he did, despite drowning in hunks clothes

matt will 1000% try to be the big spoon when they cuddle

he succeeds

they are just the cuddliest boys and deserve so much happiness

now there are a few other combinations you could go with like, Matt x Hunk x Keith, Matt x Keith x Lance (klatte, a classic), Matt x Shunk, but I want to get to sort of the main event here:

SHUNKLATTE:

Shiro x Hunk x Keith x Lance x Matt (+ an e from the Latte ship name )

also known as pidge, screaming, YOU CAN’T DATE ALL MY FRIENDS MATT and Matt screaming back WATCH ME

they’re all soft and gay and affectionate towards each other

literally look at all the adorable dynamics above

you don’t have to choose between any of them because everyone is in love

The Ultimate Slowburn and Mutual Pining

biggest, cuddliest piles

they take turns having sleep overs with each other

when they inevitably lose track everyone just piles up in shiro’s room

Pidge is overall fine with this but will glare at matt on occasion

“it’s one thing for all my friends to date each other, it’s another for my brother to date all my friends” pidge probably

“you’re just jealous that i have four beautiful boyfriends and you have none” matt back at her, with varying reaction 

this is all, really, but i love them all so much

Episode #10: “DENNIS TRIED GOING FOR ME. TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME.” -Sammy

Uhh..... What the fuck? Who played an idol on me? How am I alive? What's going on? How did I not get more votes? Who what when where why how????

Well Zach, sorry for inadvertently sending you home, but thank you for the legacy advantage. Hopefully I can make it far enough to avenge your death.

JG I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE MAD AT ME I LOVE YOU MORE THAN MY LIFE BECAUSE THE HINT YOU GAVE ME JUST GOT ME THE IDOL. THANK YOU JESUS.

Me, before the vote: wow look at me I’ve got allies and immunity and a vote blocker and it’s a blind week so no one can yell at me wow sis Me, after the vote: hi I’m a trash goblin and I’m going home next week because I have only one ally

Oof. I've screwed up big time. Should've let roxy vote for sammy in the off-chance. Haha SCREW ME AND MY CHANCES AT THE JURY. Johnny: Why did you vote me over dylan Me: I thought Dylan would give more inside and help into the other side. ^ WELL THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT JG: Will prolly vote for his friends over me Zach: who are you even dennis me: shrug - I wish I knew Sammy - NO WAY ON EARTH WILL HE GIVE ME HIS VOTE.

Ok so I have completely processed, that?? Well, I realized that maybe Sammy isn't the best choice to target. I really don't trust Jay. I know Jay is gonna go to me like "I was with Zach the whole time" blah blah blah. Jay never sticks to the plan for that reason. We get it, you want jury votes. Not gonna happen on my watch.

OKAY SO CATCH UP TIME!! SO WE GOT IMMUNITY RESULTS(Kinda) and like we found out it was a dark round. HMM INTERESTING...so some crazy stuff happened and i heard three names- Eric,Dennis, Zach. This sucks cause i like them all but then I HEARD ERIC WAS COMING FOR ME AND STARTED FREAKING OUT. He was my closest ally and now he’s trying to betray me??? WTF. Okay anyway, I’d say my closest ally now is Crow...he’s so funny and loves to make things crazy. Also love working with jay I just hope she doesnt snake me NDNFMD. OH AND AND AND GUESS WHAT? I USED MY LIGHT ROUND ADVANTAGE TO MAKE VOTES PUBLIC AND SURPRISED EVERYONE CAUSE THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A DARK ROUND. AND GUESS WHAT. DENNIS TRIED GOING FOR ME. TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME. The sad thing is like he wouldn’t of even told me bc he thought he wouldn’t get caught and i would’ve went hope if Zach had immunity and idol was played on Eric. Poor Zach.....he just got to see his mom(t Swift) and then got sent home:( i hope i play with him again soon!! Okay that’s all for now PEACE YO

I really miss Zach and JG. It sucks a lot when your friends are the people who need to go home. Because now I like my position in the game, but I don't like who I'm left with. Outside of Dylan R, I don't really feel like there's anyone I can talk to about non-game stuff. I think JG is mad for me like for real and I just hope we can work things out post-game because I love him so much and I don't want our relationship ruined over this game. Tonight is definitely a low for me in this game emotionally. I just don't know what to do.

SO YOU KNOW HOW THE IDOL HUNT HAS A MESSAGE WHEN YOU GET AN IDOL, WELL YA GIRL FORGOT TO DELETE IT, SO YAY, DYLAN GETS AN IDOL. BUT WE FIXED IT, KINDA, HE ONLY GETS IT FOR THIS ROUND, SO I BASICALLY GAVE HIM A FREE IMMUNITY, NOW EXCUSE ME WHILE I GO DELETE THE THING SO WE DON'T HAVE TWENTY IDOLS FLOATING AROUND.

I'm so tired of this damn game!!!!!!! I really went out here and did some beautiful ass artwork and lost!!!!!! it's okay tho I don't wanna be seen as a comp threat anyway sis. This tribal is gonna be another annoying one, I just feel it in Me Bones. Wouldn't it be nice if we could just vote out Dennis and move on with our lives?

alright this 2nd Idol somehow seems like a curse to me.. because usually u keep things like this secret and I have been keeping it secret but for some reason I have a feeling that people like CROW will be very HURT if I play the idol without telling them I had one he already seemed pretty upsetti spaghetti after last tc, where I put 1 vote on Sammy like WTF especially after he send me this after the stephen vote rip stephen btw.. S - Crow: yea, same here. so if you gotta do what you gotta do in the future, I 100% understand S - Crow: i mean like if the roles are reversed in a future voting scenario and you decide who goes and its against my wishes, then by all means, do it!
