Hiya, do u have a carrd or anything with info on your ocs? I love reading about ocs n all that crap but the tumblr search function is like actually evil. Keir seems super interesting but it’s like killing me trying to find posts to recap his lore 😭

i don’t i’m afraid!! it’s just his enormous mess of a tag as the lore built up... i might make something sometime??? i hadnt thought abt it tbh. in the meantime feel free to ask me any and all questions even if it’s something i’ve probably already said, i love going over this stuff and will do so forever if even slightly prompted. on that note, if it helps, here is a briefly condensed version:

keir is a red personality (aggressive/direct) non-mage hawke. i did his full playthrough as a warrior, i sometimes talk about switching him to rogue, but the only really important thing is that he’s a reaver and will bite you for real

he’s a man of few words, extremely blunt and threatening to the point of being absurdly over-the-top with pretty much all strangers, and much softer but still bluntly earnest with the small group of people he considers his own. he considers himself first and foremost a protector and would do anything to keep those people safe. his father malcolm was a strict man who raised him to do this and he accepted that wholeheartedly. consider him a guard dog. killed his first templar in defence of the family aged 15

he adores and idolises magic and fiercely supports mage freedom, though ultimately he would absolutely sacrifice a wider “cause” if doing so would keep his mages safe. fortunately or unfortunately, he can’t do that because the two are inextricable

he’s a proud fereldan and cares very little for kirkwall (hates kirkwall. hates kirkwall. someone please get him out of here) and its nobility, which tends to show in his appearance and behaviour. long braided hair, the streak across his nose is kaddis, and takes his mabari, silla, absolutely everywhere

he’s elf-blooded via his father, who was the bastard son of a fereldan elven servant girl and an orlesian chevalier who was with the occupation

his playthrough has circle mage bethany. he adores her and he would do anything for her but her acceptance of her fate and disillusionment with his overprotectiveness meant they had an increasingly strained relationship. it was because she was trapped that he couldn’t leave the city. once he was champion, meredith essentially had a knife to his sister’s throat whenever she wanted his compliance, not to mention the looming threat to anders and merrill, making those three years the worst and most terrifying in his life

he romances anders! friendmance and they escape kirkwall together in the end. not always easy but he really loves him, justice half included. there’s a lot of lore here ummm if i mention the “and they were housemates” timeline, that’s my silly mutual pining alternate version of events where anders moves into the amell estate for safekeeping before he and keir actually get together. if i mention aura hawke, that’s the potential daughter i occasionally hc for them

he had previous relationships with morrigan (in lothering as young 20-somethings) and merrill (during act 1). you cannot keep him away from those romanceable mages

he’s still close friends with merrill. isabela is his best friend. he has a complicated, semi-antagonistic friendship with varric, who was really closer with anders but now after the fact doesn’t want to remember that. he deeply respects and is friends with fenris. he did rivalry with sebastian, but in an agree-to-disagree way where they considered each other friends nonetheless until All That happened. he had a more genuine rivalry with aveline though still coloured by their trauma bonding

i THINK those are the main beats of his lore but he’s my most discussed and developed dragon age character so i’m sure i’ve missed some of the assorted junkyard of thoughts

Hii. so i got an ask by @m4ndysk4nkovich but for some reason when i went to reply it disappeared. the ask was what was one of my unpopular opinions on shameless! this was very fun.

v wasnt a great person cause most of the fandom ignores it cause kev and v are more functional than the gallaghers. (are they tho?) i do like veronica but she did some shit.

what i really hate is when she had her BABIES do pageants. and proceeded to pick her "prettier kid". pageants are so horrible and if v counties to do them it would cause so much pain for her kids.

kids doing pageants is insane. pageants in general are kind of sucky but especially kid ones. your kids don't need to be dressed up and judged by grown adults based on their looks.

imagine your mom only wanting your sister to do stuff that is all about getting judged abt how pretty you are? how horrible is that!

so v really needed to back off of Debbie and focus on getting her own kids out of that horrible situation.

she had some trouble bonding with her kids and sometimes got pissy when kev was taking care of them (but that was most likely postpartum. and kev wasn't the best either but that deserves its own post.)

and the whole thing of making kev choose between her and the babies irked me. again, most likely postpartum but just like yeah. i personally don't think they were ready for kids.

on the topic of kids remember when kev wanted more (around s9 i think?) and v hesitantly said yes then made kev get a vasectomy a few days later. like. oh my.

now lets talk about Svetlana. (most popular female manipulator)

yk when svet saved the bar? she wasnt trying to be evil. kev and v would be BROKE broke. lana saved the bar. so v burns all her shit almost gets her deported. SHE CALLED ICE ON HER.

soo did kev and v not realize how horrible ice is, especially to women? or did they just not care? veronica (and kev) willingly separating a mom and kid, a kid they helped raised was insane.

v wanted to be the helpless victim who fell hopelessly in love with the evil Russian with no emotions.

she deff did more stuff i am just lazy.

[ottoslab]

Otto please I have to hear about these ANTAGONISTS PLEASE why are they antags? What threat do they pose to others??? (Warning I'm so sorry but this will be very long)

LIKE CHLOE my gohd it's design is absolutely the bomb I I I my mind explodes. She looks like she's working with some type of dark..matter..thing she may have invented OR MAYBE she specialises in Shield Power I figured cause the super pretty purple swirly stuff u drew in its glove is the same colour as the badge from PN 1

OR MAYBE I'm overthinking it completely BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS SHIELD POWERS cause. Space? Like she can incase herself in a shield cause you need a protective bubble like— it makes sense in my head trust. AND ITS ROBOTIC ARM IN THE LAST PIC?! HELLO??? Is that psitanium in the middle of its palm to make her more of a menace?! I MUST KNOW WHAT HER MOTIVES ARE PLEASE!!!! Chloe seems like the most threatening out of the lineup I'm guessing hrm hrm hrm...

Maloof, Mikhail, and Elka all seem like the big honcho boss men (and lady), Elka Doom being an oracle-like psychic and all that! AND MALOOF AND MIKHAIL! AAH! LOOK AT THEM THEY HAVE SO MUCH SWAGGER NFNDNXE RAAAA!!!! I feeeeeel like they would have a sort of odd "partnership" with the Psychonauts, a sort of aliance, yknow? Like how sometimes batman will team up with catwoman, smth similar? I dunno, I'd love to hear what you have in mind with all these funky little guys 👂👂pls and thank you 🙏 🤲

PIWI i am so sorry for taking so long to respond to this i tried so hard to do some funny art to go along with it bc this ask makes my brain bark and howl (positive) but im trying to save my art fight energy.

CLAPS MY HANDS TOGETHER THOUGH. These are all really good let me get my thoughts in order

Chloe and Benny are a duo! I mentioned it before in my other posts abt her, but Chloe is definitely just sort of doing its own thing, and that just happens to cross paths with the Psychonauts a lot. She’ll work with them when she can, and work against them when they try to shove her into a box with all their “rules” and stuff. Benny is her “guy in the chair” and usually stays back at the lab unless she really needs the extra hands on deck.

i really like the idea of its main power being shield!! I didnt really think about the color coordination but youre so right to be honest, and i think it would work really well for her. Aside from her shield ability, she’s not a very naturally powerful psychic. It uses psitanium to grant itself power-ups during battle, and the big robot arm is basically a super-powered gauntlet that it can harness strong psychic energy into, using it for very powerful psi-blasts and the like..

Maloof and Mikhail are similarly not very for-or-against the Psychonauts, but definitely a lot more antagonistic. But theyre pretty much the lowest threat on the list. Maloof is sort of a goofy b-plot type villain, doing “evil” for the sake of “evil”, and Mikhail is just there to make sure Maloof doesn’t blow himself up.

They’re also the “guys” that Lili knows! Like, whenever Raz and his team need some inside info or resources and Lili mentions that she “knows a guy,” Maloof and Mikhail are said guy. Collectively. Raz greatly disapproves of the fact that Lili hasn’t turned these guys into the psychonauts yet, but she thinks that theyre harmless yet useful enough to let them roam free without it backfiring that much.

Elka is. A special case. Probably one of the ones that could be considered the most objectively threatening, but her antagonistic role is much more of an extension of a greater threat to the psychonauts. She’s the “daughter” of a psychic villain, Dorian Doom, who is attempting to use the ability of precognition to make himself some sort of future lord by giving him the ability to manifest potential futures into reality as he seems fit. She’s sort of a henchman/figurehead role, interacting a lot with the Psychonauts as if she were the main brains behind the operation to shield suspicion from him.

She’s definitely given the psychonauts a lot of trouble, but I think as of recently she’s under observation after being taken down during a big fight against the psychonauts. Mayhaps she’s building a trustworthy repertoire by using her foresight to give Raz and his team little helpful hints when they go rush into missions.

She is Definitely building a very trustworthy relationship with Dogen and definitely not trying to get him to let her out of whatever observation chamber/system they have her in. It’s totally cool and normal.

[jihyocentric]

thinking thoughts abt nayeon training puppy!hyo to not come as quickly cause the poor thing gets sooo excited to fuck nayeon that she comes too fast :((

but nayeon makes it literally impossible for jihyo to not come and she always teases her abt it but they keep going at it until jihyo can last pretty long and more than just one round

and once thats done, nayeon moves onto making it so jihyo can only come with her permission and thats HELL for the pup. nayeon makes it even harder for her by letting her touch herself without nayeon but jihyo quickly figures out that she literally cannot come without nayeon's permission

cut to her humping smth at home while nayeon's out of the house, trying so desperately to push herself over the edge, but unable to because she needs to hear nayeon telling her that she should be a good pup and come for her. and it definitely does not help that jihyo doesn't come as easily anymore so she's stuck with an almost painful boner until nayeon comes home and lets her come...IF she's feeling nice that day.

...yeah. i just think that nayeon training pup!hyo.

🥴🥴

that's it that's the ask :)

-🐶

you're onto something 🐶 anon, and i'm glad to indulge it. you know how puppies get trained and when they do something the right way, they get a little reward snack? i feel like to jihyo that would be something like nayeon allowing her to suck on her tits or sleep with her cock inside nayeon, and it's not even in a sexual way. it just relaxes jihyo, and nayeon uses that as a way to reward her pup for doing such a great job.

nayeon can be mean but she's not that evil, so she figures letting jihyo at least touch herself when she's not home would be a great idea, but it happens that jihyo just can't come if nayeon isn't either telling her to on the phone or at home, watching jihyo and giving her the commands she needs... it's adorable!

i can't help myself when i see a nahyo ask so lemme just write a little (maybe not so little) drabble abt this. 🐶 anon thank you for sharing your big brain thoughts!

-

accidents happened sometimes. like when nayeon was sucking jihyo off and the puppy became too excited that as soon as nayeon pulled out, jihyo spilled across her face - it happened more times than nayeon could count. the warm feeling on her cheeks, neck and chest was something she appreciated, but it became a nuisance when jihyo couldn't last more than two minutes inside her. all nayeon wanted was to be fucked properly, which jihyo couldn't give her at the beginning of their relationship.

when it was about jihyo's ruts, nayeon understood why she came that quickly. jihyo was a inexperienced puppy, nayeon was her first and only experience with sex, and whenever jihyo saw her owner, the only thought in her head was to breed, fill nayeon completely, it didn't matter if she came too fast or was too hectic.

with time and a lot of effort from both parts, nayeon was able to train jihyo to receive her touches without blowing her load in shameful seconds. jihyo would whine and shed tears in the process, but nayeon wasn't merciful at all. she had a goal and she'd achieve it. and so she did, feeling slightly guilty in the aftermath when she saw jihyo's flushed face with fresh tears falling down her cheeks. that was part of the process however, jihyo had to handle it if she wanted to please nayeon. besides, her owner was the best with aftercare and jihyo felt giddy with all of the attention. at the end, it was all worth it.

but being such a well behaved puppy had its cons. jihyo had just found out one of them. she looked at her hand wrapping around her shaft with tears in her eyes and a small pout, trying to think about nayeon to get off. but it wasn't working, and the more jihyo thought about nayeon, the harder she got and the more ashamed she felt.

"nayeonie..." jihyo whined, feeling pleasure from her own hand up and down on her length, but it wasn't the same as feeling nayeon and she felt as if she was doing something wrong. "ah!"

jihyo let out a pitiful little scream, getting mad at herself. she had been trying to come for the last half hour, and whenever she was close, she heard nayeon's voice at the back of her head telling her to behave. but nayeon had allowed her to do that, and jihyo couldn't grasp the reason why she just couldn't get off.

it was frustrating and jihyo didn't know how to handle it. she got up from the couch, the big shirt she was wearing enough to cover her thighs but the hard on she had formed a stupid tent in between her legs. closing her fists and gritting her teeth, jihyo grabbed nayeon's pillow, her shaft falling on top of it. nayeon wouldn't be pleased to see her pillow covered in cum, but jihyo couldn't think of any other way she could let it out.

she tried humping it. nayeon's scent still fresh in the room made her tail wag, as if she hadn't left hours ago. jihyo closed her eyes, the pillow surrounding her cock soft and plump, but not enough to make her come. but it couldn't compare to the warmth of nayeon's pussy or the softness of her tongue running down her length, and jihyo cried, throwing the pillow away when she felt her cum at the tip of her shaft, incapable of coming without her owner there encouraging her.

when nayeon arrived, she was met with complete silence. jihyo would be usually waiting for her on the couch, with her stupid little tail wagging, excited to see nayeon, but none of that happened as nayeon stepped inside. the silence made nayeon worry something might have happened while she was out working, but she brushed that thought aside when she entered her room, finding jihyo with her arms crossed, watching something on the TV they had in their room.

"are you okay, baby?" nayeon approached her, sitting on the bed. she touched the puppy's forehead, checking if it was warm, worried that jihyo could be sick. "how are you feeling, hm? did something happen?"

nayeon was absolutely clueless that she was the cause of jihyo's permanent boner. she didn't even notice the bulge under jihyo's shirt.

"no." jihyo whined, jumping on nayeon's lap. her cock brushed against nayeon's clothed tummy, making the older woman hold the puppy's hips and take a look down. "been like this for a while."

nayeon licked her lips, lifting jihyo's shirt. jihyo's cock was big but cute nonetheless, perfectly sized, able to fit in her just right, and the girth was just wide enough to fill her hand. the tip was red, as if jihyo had touched herself, and nayeon wondered why she was still that hard if she had touched herself.

"how long is 'a while'?" nayeon asked, running her hand up and down jihyo's shaft. the puppy squeezed nayeon's shoulder, more than sensitive, and desperate to come.

"don't know..." jihyo pouted. "two... no, three hours."

nayeon's heart dropped when she heard that. jihyo wasn't getting a punishment, no, she had been a good girl, and she deserved to come whenever she wanted when nayeon wasn't home.

"my, my. and why didn't you jerk off? that's allowed, baby."

"tried to! but could't come," jihyo replied, whimpering while humping nayeon's hand. the precum leaking at the tip of her shaft made nayeon bite her lip, wanting to taste it. "needed mommy to tell me to come."

there was a part of nayeon that found it sexy, despite knowing her poor puppy must have suffered while she was away.

"hurts so bad," jihyo told her, holding nayeon's hand in place, stopping her. "need to be inside, nayeonie. can i?"

nayeon cooed at her puppy, finding cute the way jihyo's ears were flat in her head but her tail swished so fast, clearly at the edge, with her cheeks flushed and cock pulsing under her hand. nayeon tapped jihyo's thigh for the puppy to leave her lap and opened a few buttons of her shirt. she was quick doing that, and even more so when she got on her fours, only lifting her skirt and pulling down her panties so that jihyo had access to her dripping core.

wasting no time, jihyo slid inside nayeon, fully sheathed inside her, not even an inch was left. nayeon felt so tight that jihyo almost cried. the tears were probing at the sides of her eyes, mostly from how sensitive she was, and they were threatening to spill out. nayeon's torso fell down on the bed as soon as jihyo took off. still, the puppy was unwavering, driving her cock in and out rough and quick, her hands bruising nayeon's skin from how hard she was holding her hips.

"can i come?" jihyo asked, and nayeon felt as if she was being ripped apart. jihyo had never been that rough, and it even made her blush a little at the effort of taking her. "please, nayeonie!"

nayeon yelped when jihyo started rubbing her clit in time with her thrusts. jihyo was treating her rough like she'd never done before, and nayeon was loving it.

"c-come inside me," nayeon ordered. her voice broke at the beginning of the sentence and jihyo didn't even notice, too busy trying to hit the deepest spot in nayeon's slippery pussy to pay attention to the woman falling apart in her grasp. "now, puppy!"

the command sent jihyo off. jihyo stopped, getting so weak she fell over nayeon, humping against her owner's ass as she emptied herself. the puppy whined, her face hidden in nayeon's shoulder, the rough grip she had on her owner's hips was released. jihyo was sure her cum was leaking off of nayeon and dirtying their bed, it was just too much, but she couldn't feel more satisfied.

"thank you, nayeonie." jihyo kissed nayeon's reddened cheek. "feels better now."

"next time just call me, idiot. and get off me."

jihyo pouted. "calling 's not the same thing."

jihyo pulled out, her cock not even near to soft but clearly less hard than before. nayeon lied with her back facing the bed and pulled jihyo to lay on top of her, bringing jihyo's shaft back inside.

"it's better than having a boner for three hours." nayeon pointed out. jihyo opened her mouth, ready to argue, but nayeon shushed her. "it's an order. call me whenever you're going to mastubate."

"mean." the puppy whined, her fingers playing with nayeon's nipple.

"come on. we can have sex when i get home too, idiot, it's not like i'll refuse to do it just because you jerked off." nayeon moaned at the soft pinch of jihyo's fingers around her bud. "if you keep doing that..."

"your turn to come, nayeonie." jihyo kissed nayeon's jaw, starting to move her hips again.

nayeon wasn't going to let that subject be forgotten, but they could talk about it later. besides, nayeon never lost an argument, and jihyo's mouth sucking her nipples was something she couldn't say no to.

9. Most disliked character(s)? Why?

Don't much care for Encantress, and I'll say she has good appearances but the first comic I ever read for her was the arc in Marvel Comics Presents where she rapes Wonder Man and mindcontrols him and it is uncomfortable as hell! Later in Wonder Man V2 which I read pretty shortly after Presents she attempts the same thing and again, it was uncomfortable and now when I look at her I kinda grimace bc the vibes are off.

17. Instead of XYZ happening, I would have made ABC happen…

Instead of making tasteless jokes about Lyja and Johnny and belittling his experience, I would have Lyja independently come to the realisation that she severely hurt and abused Johnny, and didn't realise this because in skrull society the idea of consent seems pretty loose and fast because of the shapeshifting. I think if you want to redeem Lyja in some way you need to acknowledge what she did, the society she came out of and was defending, and have her own up to that and do some self reflection rather than making bad jokes abt Johnny's skrull wife.

23. Unpopular character you love?

In terms of like, actively gets me hate sometimes for posting about, definitely Hank, he's just a short little guy causing problems and being small and hanging out with bugs. Other than that, Hank McCoy, he's my evil bisexual war criminal and I enjoy him a lot, and in online comic communities a weird amount of people seem to dislike Vision for reasons so I'm putting them down too. Leave my genderweird dyke alone they're doing their best.

Salty Asks.

Ohh! You might be right about Wednesday wearing dark blue in Fam Values but I swear I can only recall her bathing suit, one Morticia dress and Debbie's fits at the moment haha. I'm gonna probably rewatch both movies before Halloween though. Wbu? Are u planning any spooky movie marathon maybe? Also oof I'm so sorry abt your experience with the school for g00d and and evil. I haven't seen it.. yet(?).. but I read the book ages ago and um yeah. 😐😑😒

GOSH THANK U SO MUCH for posting your draft, you made my night!! Like I'm sitting here with a huge, dumb smile on my face cause it's so sweet and wholesome! Enid knew she was gonna miss Wednesday even before parting for the summer so she gave her her number but didn't have much hope she would even keep it. But Wednesday did keep it and bought a phone so just she could text her because she missed her too! OH BE STILL MY HEART 😳 That's also what Enid must have told herself after receiving that msg and realizing that ''Wednesday Addams actually missed me'' 😳

That bit about Enid thinking of Wesnesday and her smile? I SWOONED

And how Wednesday keeps making HER smile effortlessly with just being her weird as shit gothic ass self? The one Enid grew to LO- LIKE so much? OH MY HEART

This is such a fantastic draft you have here and I'm so grateful and honored you shared it with us. 💛 I'm no way asking or bugging you to finish it before the show drops cause I understand you prefer to post canon compliant content. All I'm gonna say is if inspiration strikes and you find your head full of ideas for this fic don't let anything stop you from writing it. You're genuinely amazing in expressing yourself in both writing and drawing so sometimes you can have a little non-canon stuff too as a treat 😄 I for one am gonna love love love it either way among many others. Of course it's up to you and only you, like I said I understood your reasoning perfectly. It's just.. this is waaaay to good to be scrapped. Really. Alright I will shut up now. Thanks again 💛

Ah not really. Whatever time i have when im not working, id rather spend drawing either for fun or my commissions. Although i do love creepy and macabre stuff, im not a big fan of horror movies. A lot of them are more about either shocking viewers and being as gorey and torture porn-y as possible, which isn't really my thing. Tho there are some horror movies out there i quite liked, I prefer to watch compilation videos of ghosts caught on camera and stuff if im in the mood for something spooky.

The SGE movie's pretty good for someone like me who hasn't read the books. My brother and I actually had tons of fun until all the confusing qb(and the whole thing with Rafal and Sophie. Barf). Like, if the filmmakers knew Agatha and Sophie were sisters then why have them kiss on the lips?? Unless they plan on retconning that since i hear that was only revealed at a later book...

Omg thank you! Ive mentioned it before but I'm not as confident with my writing as i am with my art, so compliments regarding my fics are always super appreciated. I'll consider continuing to write it, if there's still more i can squeeze out of me.

I’m provoking you to make barbie movie rant. Poke poke *poke you with a stick*

I love you

One of the first barbie movies i watched as a child was nutcracker and it was so terrifying it traumatized me and i cannot rewatch it to this day

Island princess also somewhat confused and disturbed me as a child like "why cant she understand people what" and the whole POISONING ANIMALS thing but i got over it its not terrible lol

When i was 7 i went to a family event sort of thing and they had prizes for the kids and i got to choose between a doll+dvd set of swan lake or princess and the pauper. Iirc i chose swan lake but later swapped because p+p had Two girls on the cover but i eventually went home with swan lake because her dress was pretty. I ended up hating the movie and my friend beheaded the doll (with my encouragement) when i was 12

I hated nori and nalu from mermaida alike growing up because nori was a bitch and at least nalu had that silly carousel of confusion moment but its only very recently that i discovered that norinis actually. Very pretty. Ahem-

BARBIE IN THE 12 DANCING PRINCESSES WHAT CAN I SAY the evil stepmother was terrifying and this movie taught me the word "attire" (gosh for kids movies they sure use a lot of words no one knows) and shine is an absolute Banger and i just love this movie a lot i remember desperately wishing my room had a magical floor opening up to an alternate dimension and imagining what I would use those wishing flowers for

Barbie mariposa was also slightly traumatic cause of the poisoning plot but i really loved the movie otherwise i related to the mc cause bOOKWORM and she was also so pretty aaa i think i had a book from the movie at one point too

DIAMOND CASTLE I GOT THE LIANA DOLL FOR EID AND SHE ONLY SANG ONE NOTE BUT I LOVED HER EVEN THO MY FAVE WAS ALEXA i actually hated the girl in the mirror i cant remember her name now but i found her annoying and out of tune but otherwise man this movie was probably my semi sapphic awakening like WHO WOULDN'T WANNA LIVE IN A COTTAGE WITH THEIR BEST FRIEND LIVING OFF JAM AND BREAD AND BREAD AND JAM FOREVER man ok but the brainwashed betrayal scene was also kind of traumatic at least the ending was happy and so aesthetic omg i need to rematch it tho its been a hot minute

I actually loved christmas carol when i watched it even tho making barbie the antihero was very unexpected it Worked and it was just a great movie tbh we dont talk abt it enough imo

Hmmm thumbelina was kind of a miss for many reasons but when i was about 5 my mom got me a very pretty backpack of it except that also around this time i got a thumbelina book from school except it was based on the 1994 non barbie version so i would always be so confused comparing ginger thumbelina in my book to dazzling barbie thumbelina on my backpack but yk it be like dat sometimes when ur 5 years old

THREE MUSKETEERS IS THE MOST HYPED I EVER WAS TO WATCH A MOVIE i lived in a small town in the middle of nowhere when it came out and had no means of watching it but i aTE the promo materials i got the step into reading books i daydreamed about it cONSTANTLY till one day we finally went to a family friends house who had the dvd and (they warned my sis there might be some scary scenes with the villain) my mom actually caught my reaction on camera im sure ive posted this here before but its so iconic pls

I need to add that these were both part of group photos and i was the only one Not looking at the camera pls

Mermaid tale 1 and 2 were both kinda meh for me i def enjoyed the first one more but it doesnt stand out in my memory as something id really want to rewatch so yk theyre there i watched em :p

I had the fashion fairytale book for ages before i got around to watching the movie and it was? Ok? I guess? I didn't love the modern day premise or the whole subplot with ken and the animation style was pretty jarring so overall kind of a mid movie and book for me :p

A FAIRY SECRET HAD THE BEST BARBIE/RAQUELLE RECONCILIATION ARC LIKE I DONT REMEMBER JACK ABT THE REST OF THE MOVIE EXCEPT THE MEMORY WIPE WHICH PISSED ME OFF BUT THE BARBIE AND RAQUELLE BONDING kept this one higher than fashion fairytale im still obsessed with them upgrading thru the power of friendship and man i really gotta rewatch this one also i did have a stickerbook of it but barbie looked ugly as sht on the cover which made me sad </3

Princess charm school wasnt one i expected to enjoy so much i think the appeal of the custom uniforms got to me and i just had to watch and ykw it was a fun movie with an enjoyable plot twist and nice antagonist redemption arc i love delancy so much man i actually got a doll of her from my friend one birthday and then swapped her back a few days later for 6 smarties snack packs (we all have our regrets amirite :"3) but i would brush her hair every night before bed and mm yeah i like this movie a lot lol it has its cringy bits but i always rewatch and look back on it fondly

I. Watched princess and the popstar. Before princess and the pauper. Im a terrible barbie heathen i know but i did sort of enjoy it quite a bit and i liked To Be a Princess cause id never heard the superiority of the original and yeahhh i wouldnt rewatch it but its a Thing :"3

SPEAKING OF PRINCESS AND THE PAUPER THIS MOVIE IS SO GOOD AND FOR WHAT like ok anneliese is kind of in a privileged situation and to compare that to poverty is eH BUT PREMINGER AND THE PLOTS AND THE SONGS AND EVERYTHING IS JUST SO PEAK I WISH I GREW UP WITH THIS BUT AT LEAST IVE SEEN IT THREE TIMES NOW and plan to watch again in the future

I dont think ive ever liked the pets in barbie movies and i know bibble from fairytopia is a basebreaking character some ppl adore him some people want him dead im kinda just there lol 😭

[decayaway2007]

god help meeee

srsly idk why this always happens basically my mum came into my room asking for my school dress and i opened the door and gave it to her, and she asked like why do i always have  the lights off i just said i like it when its dark. THENNN she went full on screaming/ranting about how im demonic, and there únclean’’ spirits inside of me and that im letting evil stuff take over me just alot weird crap, this always happens since shes now ‘christian’’ shes says shes chrisitain but she doesnt act like it at all honestly. yeah so since she was screaming rlly loud i just turned on some music so i wouldnt have to hear her and it wsnt that loud.

then she starts saying im listenign to demonic music, it was literally japan by yotclub u can listen to it and see how mental she is for thinking that.  THENNN she full on starts trying to smash the door down to get into my room, i just told her to leave me alone please and she full on started screaming that im disrespectful or smt idk why she says but yeah. then she starts screaming for my dad to come she probably told him so weird crap abt what i did so he starts screaming to open the door then he gets this key to unlock it or smt. yeah i get upset rlly easy so i was pretty screaming/crying to leave me alone, so i just had to sit in the corner of my room. i was honestly getting rlly upset and out of control but honestly i didnt say anything offensive to them at all besides ‘’leave me alone please and stop’’ and they went ballistic. my dad kinda cooled down and left but my mum was still screaming again saying i was ungrateful and complain all the time.

LIKE HONESTT HOW!!!??!?! i literally never said anything to her like ever, i bet if i asked her to give an exmaple she wouldnt have anything to say, since i basically stay in my room, study, play videos, draw, make food and repeat.THEN she was saying i act depressed and crap WHEN I LITERALLY DONT!??!?!?!?! like srsly they think just because im more introverted im acting depressed or smt, honestly ive never been good at expressing emotions either to littel or too extreme so when im happy i dont look that happy, they expect me to act like a cartooon character or smt when im happy i dont get it.

then my dad was complaining abt how i didnt sya goodnight to him last night when dude u didnt say it too me either i dont get why he is complaining its not like i have a meltdown when mum never ever says goodnight to me anymore.

ALSOO this is the worst part and genuinely kinda hurts i just feel like my mum likes my brother way more sometimes like during the midst of that argument like she starts jokingly talking to my brother and then continues screaming at me also just in general everytime she talks to me her tone harsheness and not like i can point it out to anyone cause they wil just defend her. i just srsly as pathetic as this seems wish my mum expressed that she loved me more like how she does with my brother. And honestly she always says its because hes more repesctful and loving to her but he always says crap to her way more than me and gets away with it bcs its fricken him, if i said that she wouldnt talk to me for days properly, i just cant stand it sometimes, like once i begged my brother to call my mum to ask for cookies cause i knew she would probs say yes to him, but he made me talk so asked her for them and she said i had like sugar cravings and eat too much, AND WHEN she answered the call she was like my brothers name very happily and when i said hi she was just like ‘’oh yeah OC what do u want’’ its just things like that, which make it obvious how she feels abt me sometimes.

👪 family, 💥 collision, 👑 crown, 🌌 milky way with rocio?

what is their family like? what is your ocs relationship to them? does your oc have any siblings?

This will contain information about Rocio’s overly edgy and arbitrarily miserable backstory  cause I can’t really talk abt her family without talking abt that at least briefly so :P

When growing up, Rocio lived with her two parents in a remote location. (I’m not sure what they did for a job yet :P but they lived in a very rural area mostly apart from other people, it was on the edge of the woods and I think near some mountains). Her mother strongly preferred to live alone, as, like Rocio, she was easily overwhelmed by being around other people and greatly calmed by nature. Rocio’s dad (these people don’t have names I’m sorry I should come up with some) liked both nature and being with people, so living out in the woods was peaceful, but he did really miss his family (Rocio’s mom’s was like. Pretty shitty). They would visit occasionally but although he did love his family and being out in nature he would miss people he knew and being in like bustling city or whatever he’d feel lonely pretty often. Additionally to this, Rocio’s mom’s mental and physical health would sometimes fail, she would sometimes have feelings of intense anxiety and paranoia + was sensitive to like minor diseases, so she’d sometimes end up bedridden with Rocio and her dad taking care of her + all the work and chores and et cetera. The parents both wanted to have more children, but she probably like couldn’t have handled it physically, so they never did. Her dad also had a bit of a hard time adjusting to how shy Rocio could be and how she would very rarely talk, but eventually he became like fine with it, ofc he loved her a lot.

All that being said, they did all get along very well despite their difficulties. Very loving family very beautiful. Her mom admired how outgoing and kindhearted her husband was, he thought she was really smart and funny as well, and ofc they both loved their child cared for her were proud of her etc etc. They thought it was funny that she was like really serious as a kid.

Unfortunately there’s no nice way to say this both of Rocio’s parents fucking die :( when they were like 10-12 I think. But in the present day the story takes place in, they aren’t totally sure that’s what happened even though that’s what they suspect, they’re afraid to find out the truth. Basically what happened was once the Suns were like ok let’s use her for our evil plan they not only cursed her, but also killed her parents and then possessed them so as to monitor Rocio and also make sure she didn’t have anyone to turn to etc etc it was very sad whatever. So I guess I would say when they think of their family they feel 1) scared 2) regretful 3) sad. 

They do have an extended family on their dad’s side, but they haven’t actually contacted them at all because they’re afraid of finding out the truth of what happened to their parents (they’re kind of holding out hope they’re still alive while also hoping they’re dead, overall they just really don’t want to know), and also just bc it would make them feel uncomfortable in general. They’re hoping they don’t get recognized in like the newspaper (she last saw any of these people when she was like 9). Some of them live in Zeolan but some also live abroad. I’m not gna say what country because I haven’t come up with a good name for it yet :P

Originally, like in terms of development, Rocio was going to have a younger brother, but then I realized that with her backstory the implications would be kind of horrific. Like, that kid would be DEAD. So I retconned him out of existence as a mercy and she is an only child. It makes more sense anyway, since isolation is a core part of her character, and I think her being an only child would make her more likely to be targeted as a candidate for this type of thing in the first place, in addition to living in the middle of nowhere. That being said, I do miss it, because it would be nice to show her having unconditional affection and support towards someone, since all her other relationships are either the other person being nice to her and her feeling guilty about it, or both people being mean to each other. She should get a hamster to take care of or something.

what emotions do they have trouble dealing with?

It’s cliche to say all of them. But all of them. Well, that’s actually not really fair to say. It’s not that they’re unable to deal with a lot of them, it’s more so that the way they deal with emotions is skewed. When uncomfortable, they tend to either press through it for as long as possible to like practice building up their force of will (which is very important for a wizard. Rocio hates eye contact with a passion and yet is undefeated in staring contests) or avoid the situation entirely like just fucking leave. They tend to repress all their emotions as much as they possibly can. If something’s upsetting them they will try to ignore it ever happened/is happening. So it’s not a very good way to deal with negative emotion bc it means the problem never gets addressed, she just channels the frustration or discomfort or regret or whatever else into more motivation for achieving her goal. 

Positive emotions are even worse bc she can’t do that with them. She just has to experience them it’s terrible. Being happy or liking someone makes her miserable. What she does do sometimes is try to channel that into acts of service type things like helping them out in some unemotional way looking like this the whole time 😐 so they can pretend they don’t care. But usually she just is a little freaked out by it. Luckily she doesn’t experience positive emotions very often <3 you know when you’re super hungry and you have a mild headache and everything irritates you that’s how Rocio feels on like an amazing day. 

what does your oc want to be remembered as? why?

Not as a person but as a concept. I think they actually do want to be remembered. Well, not that exactly, but they want to make an impact on the world that will last long into the future. They DEFINITELY don’t want to be remembered personally like through stories from people who knew them, if anything they’d actively dislike any sort of like remembrance of their personality at all. I think they’d rather be remembered as a almost religious icon than a historical figure if that makes sense. If that sounds insane and very hubristic it’s because it is and they are. But yeah they’d like to inspire future generations of magic users to do like insane things + try to fully explore its possibilities. 

They definitely don’t want to be remembered by their real name as opposed to their title, they’d strongly prefer that to be lost to time.

what was the inspiration behind your oc? what was the first thing you decided about them?

Ive said before that when first coming up with them, they were supposed to be a foil/competition to Cirillo so I guess I’d say that was the inspiration, like they were kind of the positive of him being more mean and ambitious and powerful etc etc.

Genuinely unironically a lot of the like current/fully realized character (like. After they started having a motivation) was inspired by this meme

(But later on of course both they and the narrative changed a lot. I thought of her being like the main character bc I was like ok if Cirillo is so nice he probably wouldn’t start a con like this on his own so I switched it to him and Rocio working together, + then since I thought of her as a more dramatic character I made her the main character instead. I actually kind of disagree with this decision now I think for what the premise was at the time pitting them against each other was more fun and gave him more agency.)

ok i saw the post u reblogged please tell me more abt bbc merlin im going insane here. like i study arthurian tropes and this show is out of LEFT FIELD... i know like five things. merlins a rockin twink, magic is illegal, dragons exist?? , gay???????? like so does merlin become arthurs sidekick/magic guardian angel protector/enemy/friend and then arthur fuckin dies via mordred (i assume they cut the incest plot? i hope??) and merlin just has to like.. wait... 1500 years... for him to like.. come back..?????? does he just Sit at the Lake. pls tell me im mistaken

its been a while since i last watched it but yeah basically an inexplicably english colin morgan shows up in camelot and is told Dont Cause Trouble and then saves arthurs life and is assigned as his manservant or something and also he finds a dragon voiced by john hurt locked in the basement and they have five seasons of mild gaying at each other around i think s3 merlin gets a potion that turns him into an old man and he starts doing magic shit out in the open as a wizard called Dragoon the Great who is basically their excuse to have him look like normal merlin. morgana is weird she's just kinda part of the court for Reasons that arent explained until her magic half sister shows up and is like hey you actually have a really convoluted backstory and basically ur arthurs half sister iirc which makes them flirting in the early episodes kinda weird but idk how much they planned out in advance. also morgana's developing powers in the early seasons is a big gay metaphor kinda sometimes but then they contradict that a bunch every so often. uhhhh what else. mordred is a little magic child who merlin helps smuggle out of the city i think ??? at one point. then he comes back in s4/5 i think ? and joins the knights of the round table i think they get a round table eventually anyway. then for Plot Reasons (because hes also secretly magic i think maybe i cant remember) he turns evil and goes to morgana and theres a big dramatic moment where he reveals that the old wizard she keeps fighting is actually merlin and morganas like woah and we the audience are like yeah he looks like merlin with a fake beard. shocking. also anthony head is there as the racist dad but then we're meant to feel sad when he dies for some reason. then again it is anthony head so i was sad that there wouldnt be any more anthony head. theres many plots of episods in the early show thats just "uther experiences consequences for that genocide he did". anyway at the end of the show theres a big battle and mordred stabs arthur and the last episode iirc is arthur and merlin going through the woods and talking as arthur slowly dies meanwhile gwaine and the other knights all probably die i cant really remember but im pretty sure gwaine dies needlessly anyway then arthur finally dies and john hurt dragon (who got freed and was evil in s2 and then still just showed up to give bad advice to merlin every so often through the rest of the show. his advice was usually murder.) gives a speech about how magic is dying SMASH CUT to a truck driving past its the present day and merlin is still chillin and he looks at the lake that he put arthurs body in. credits. also in like s4 theres that weird arc where lancelot gets resurrected as a zombie by morgana and theres mind control nonsense where gwen cheats on arthur with him or something and she maybe gets like banished for a bit ??? also the lady of the lake is merlins girlfriend who was a werewolf thing who then dies and her spirit exists in the pixie lake and then also just in all the water ? its weird. also something about merlin being the incarnation of all magic im pretty sure AND hes the last person who can control dragons by shouting really loud. what else oh yeah theres an episod where anthony head marries a troll

[dykeseinfeld]

u asked someone to remind you to post about your pjo dual protagonist thalia/bianca au and i am SO intrigued by this idea please say more

anon asked: hey queen hope your homework went good yesterday 🌸…now what were you saying about thalia and bianca 😳 ?

ok y’all i’m here...the moment almost none of y’all have been waiting for....bianca/thalia protagonists with alternating pov’s au

warning it’s kind of super long and may or may not read like a 2nd grader’s semi-coherent game of pretend so under the cut it goes!

so the main things you need to know about this au are 1. thalia survives and 2. annabeth’s + luke’s ages are a lil diff bc canon is my sandbox 3. i can’t decide if percy exists in this au or not (maybe y’all can help me decide?)

so the first book:

would start a few months after grover brought thalia (12), luke (13), and annabeth (10, not 7)  to camp half blood. they were chased by monsters sent by hades on the way, and thalia almost didn’t survive, but ultimately she got lucky and managed to send a bolt of lightning through her spear for the first time and they made it into camp

it’s been some time so annabeth is happy as a clam in the athena cabin doing her 10-year-old-with-severe-mommy-issues thing and luke is actually pretty popular with the hermes cabin bc he actually Met Their Dad Holy Shit and also he’s getting pretty good with a sword

at the same time, thalia is alone in the zeus cabin. everyone has been freaking out bc they all saw the huge bolt of lightning that incinerated a couple hellhounds as they made their grand entrance and What The Fuck Child Of The Big Three???

she’s also further isolated because chiron will take her for private training sessions sometimes, since she is clearly really powerful already and also Hades Himself was trying to kill her (chiron told her the reason was the big three’s pledge not to have kids, and maybe about the great prophecy? if he tells her that then she’s sworn to secrecy)

once grover leaves on another protector assignment, thalia mostly hangs out with luke, and annabeth. luke + annabeth both will try to eat meals with her at the zeus table but annabeth doesn’t want to get in trouble and luke is genuinely making friends in the hermes cabin so thalia will feel bad sometimes and send him back

kronos, seeing this bitter isolated child of the big three’s dreams: it’s free real estate

MEANWHILE

hades is Pissed that thalia survived and zeus got to break their oath And get the glory of a prophecy child

so he sends someone to take bianca (12) and nico (10) out of the lotus hotel and casino a little early.

grover is still their protector, but since the Stirring hasn’t begun in earnest yet and hades is lowkey determined to keep them safe, they make it back to camp half blood with no escort/incident

bianca + nico are put into the hermes cabin, and luke kinda takes them under his wing bc while he’s not bitter he still needs therapy bc this 14 year old has never met a pre-teen he couldn’t try to parent

luke introduces nico and annabeth since they’re the same age and they become really good friends!! she Loves mythomagic and he thinks her dagger is super cool and they’re both just really excited about camp <3

bianca is more reserved and resistant to the whole thing, and she wanders around alone exploring and runs into thalia in the zeus cabin

at this first meeting they get into a bit of a fight bc bianca is still in shock/denial about the gods being real, but thalia at this point has zero patience for this

anyway after that and maybe another scuffle during capture the flag or something they hit it off and become best friends in the way girls can, especially bonding over how they’ve both had to take on raising annabeth and nico basically on their own at the age of 12

~QUEST TIME~

thalia is given a quest for [unspecific reason] and chooses bianca and luke, they go off leaving annabeth and nico frustrated at home

quest hijinks etc, bianca is trying to figure out her parentage + her weird mysterious powers? and thalia is arguing with luke because he’s settling into camp/hero life really well actually but she’s getting progressively angrier with the gods for trying to kill her and also keeps getting dreams from kronos and doesn’t get why he doesn’t seem to remember all of the shit that the gods have put him through

bianca + thalia have las-vegas-style-heart-to-hearts where thalia shares her tragic backstory about her mother and her brother and how hades tried to kill her and even about the great prophecy and how she’s trying on this quest bc of that and her dad but at the same time these dreams are making her suspicious that he might’ve been responsible for her mom’s death.

bianca then shares her own stuff, about how terrified she was being on her own with nico having to protect him but also not remembering most of her childhood and not remembering her parents or how she ended up in the care of this lawyer and just the absolute mindfuckery that her memories/past are

luke is asleep in those scenes i guess lol 🧍‍♂️

anyway eventually they finish their quest in this massive climactic battle where bianca discovers her powers in a huge-showy-”i’m the ghost prince”-way and is formally claimed by hades which thalia sees as this Massive Betrayal obviously and bianca is horrified too because she knows what hades did to thalia but at the same time she’s just so happy to finally understand at least part of her past

thalia just reaches a breaking point though because everyone around her just doesn’t understand her anger and just when she thought she had found another sympathetic person who understood what she was going through she joins hades??? no. no fucking way. kronos reveals that he’s the one who has been sending her dreams, prob by sending some messenger who he possesses or smthing and when he offers thalia the chance to join him? she does (dun dun dun)

main beats of the rest of the series:

thalia and bianca on opposite sides of the war training to be the prophecy child, they come together a Lot and have like melodramatic fight scenes where they talk out their anger and try to get the other to join them bc they don’t want to kill each other

luke is extremely conflicted/betrayed and there’s a titan’s curse moment prob towards the end of the third book where they’re fighting and thalia is trying to get her to go with him but here he actually does go to join her (gasp!!) and is evil for at least one book but his heart’s not in it and he goes back to the good side eventually

by the point of luke’s betrayal, annabeth and nico are growing and developing and old enough to go on quests w bianca and by the last book they’re a main trio of sorts and their hypothetical character development is already making me emotional

there’s just a lot of general sexiness with foils and inner conflicts and bianca doesn’t even want to be the prophecy child but she needs to for the fate of the world and bianca is so angry at thalia bc thalia is a daughter of zeus and could control her powers and is perfect and just meant to be the prophecy kid, not some daughter of hades who they didn’t even have a cabin for before

hm maybe by either the last or second-to-last book thalia + bianca are close to reconciling or at least their interests are aligned for the moment and they read the text of the prophecy together and things go Wild bc they both think “single choice shall end his days” either is about luke or nico and it turns up the gas to their fighting both of them care about both of them and yeah

and then i can’t decide if there’s romantic arcs at all but if there were it would go like this:

just a dash of thaluke where at first it was luke having a one-sided crush but thalia misses him a Lot after she goes to kronos and wonders if it’s that she misses him or if it’s something More until to get him to defect there’s like a melodramatic moment in the fight where thalia kisses him and they go off to be Evil Together but it ends bc luke doesn’t believe in the cause and only joined her in hopes of getting thalia back to his side

once luke leaves/is kicked out thalia realizes that she didn’t love luke she just wanted a family and also in the second half of the series she realizes she’s a lesbian as a parallel to her redemption arc

bianca meanwhile is unconcerned w romance until she has her botl-hoe-moment where within one book she 1. runs into the hunters on a quest and has a thing with zoe nightshade who tries to get her to join plus tells her about that time she met thalia, 2. she goes to calypso’s island and falls in love w her in the moonlight or w/e and has her what-if moment, and 3. when they meet up that book thalia somehow knew abt zoe + calypso and seems almost angrier abt them  than the war?? weird bc bianca knows that thalia is Totally Straight right??

my main point is that bianca/thalia is our friends-to-enemies-to-lovers endgame thank you i will take my pulitzer now

[copperpieceharlot]

Bud I’m sorry to swing into your inbox uninvited like this but my soul is having an OOTS renaissance thanks to your content in the tag and did you say Leverage AU

haha holy SHIT this got Long. but yes. i’ve been. Thinking. (also literally Never feel like you have to apologize for sending me messages. i was Hoping someone would ask me about this. now i have an Excuse to share EVERYTHING ive written abt it :3)

Obviously, Roy is the leader/brains of the outfit. He grew up having some Strong Opinions abt what’s Legal versus what’s Right due to tragic backstory involving the death of his little brother which was definitely SOMEONE’S fault for negligence but since there technically wasn’t any illegal behavior, there were no consequences for it. Also he’s still angry at his dad bc he thinks his dad is also partly culpable (and also also just a dick). He’s the Moral Backbone of the team (alongside Durkon, more on that later) in basically the same way Nate was in og Leverage. He’s actually not the best at figuring out what people want (that’s Haley and, shockingly, occasionally Elan), but once he has that info, he is the absolute best at figuring out the ideal plan of attack to use in any given case.

Haley is still a thief. I mean she maps to Parker almost PERFECTLY. Her dad was a thief & a conman, her mom wasn’t but knew about it and mostly accepted it, but she died tragically in a mugging gone wrong or smth, which made Ian crank the paranoia WAY up and taught Haley to do the same in the name of “safety”. Let’s keep the “Ian is in Trouble and Haley needs money, Fast” which is why she signs on to the first job in the first place. She’s less acrobatic than Parker, tending towards finding (or making) weak spots in security, but she can still make a tumble check when she needs to.

Elan is the grifter who is somehow an Idiot but also not???? It baffles everyone. When he’s playing a part for a con, he’s FLAWLESS, but then the rest of the time he’s just. No Thoughts Head Empty. He probably gets lured in initially because he’s decided to try his hand at being part of a full team, rather than the two-man cons he’s been running that invariably end w his partner conning him as well and stealing half of his take. Also he likes the idea of being Crime Friends. He’s that tweet where it’s like, Roy: “after the heist is over, we split up and never communicate again” / Elan: [about to unveil his Crime Buddies Forever Friendship Quilt Puppets]: “never?”

Vaarsuvius is the hacker/gadget person. They have a Vaguely Snobby Yet Unidentifiable accent, dyed(?) purple hair (nobody has ever seen their roots) and nobody knows who they “really” are or where they came from, but they’re good at what they do so everyone just accepts the mystery. They probably got suckered into the team by their initial employer (who I’ll get to Eventually, lol) framing it as a challenge to their intellect, like, “oh, I see, you’re not smart enough to make this team work for you...” to which they were like Fucking Watch Me and also melted his computer. Anyways. They are joined (digitally) by their Intrepid Friend And Co-Conspirator (his words, not theirs), a fellow hacker known only as Blackwing, or, on certain forums, Blackwing_Bird. (In the first season, V only occasionally references him when saying they’re “calling in extra help” or smth for a particularly complex hack job. He starts showing up a little more in s2 and eventually by the start of s4 is a regular & established presence, but only appears as actions in a computer interface or output.) Elan is convinced he’s an AI, Belkar doesn’t think he actually exists, Haley pretends she doesn’t think he exists, and Durkon and Roy try not to think about it too hard, as long as B and V still get the job done.

Belkar is the hitter. He is on the team bc their initial employer got him out of jail for it. He doesn’t have a tragic backstory, he just likes doing violent crimes. As the series progresses, he grows some empathy & stuff, but really only for people who actually deserve it. Assholes still get decked. It’s all very touching. (Also he has dwarfism caused by achondroplasia. It doesn’t actually bother him and is useful in fights bc his opponents frequently have no fucking clue how to approach him, but he likes Pretending to take offense at stupid things just to see how far he can go with it.)

Aaaand last but not least, Durkon is the least involved member of the team. He’s actually a career criminal and Roy’s mentor, and wasn’t a member of the initial team that [redacted, I’ll tell you later, PROMISE] put together for a couple of reasons, the main one being that he’s Officially retired in order to spend more time with his family, which consists of his mom, his friend (not girlfriend) Hilgya, baby Kudzu, and a truly stunning number of aunts, uncles, and cousins. Roy frequently calls or visits him for advice and he Occasionally shows up to help out on local jobs, but generally he avoids doing crime if he can (as part of a deal with Hilgya, who is also a career criminal; basically, they’ve both cut back on the crime in order to provide a more stable home environment for Kudzu. But sometimes, you gotta do a little crime, and in those cases, Sigdi enjoys spending time w her grandson.)

NOW. THE BIG REVEAL YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR. Who got the team together in the first place?!

The answer: Lord Shojo (or whatever Normal Person Name you want to assign him). Now this is where it gets tricky: he had them do a thing that they thought was good, THEN they thought it was BAD, but then when they confronted him he revealed that it Appearing to be bad was actually a test of character and would they consider working as basically internal investigators for him? But then he had a heart attack, so, rip. But THEN it turned out that he’d left them a bunch of money anyway and they were all feeling kind of Inspired so they formed the Order of the Stick, LLC (which, no, i am not coming up with a new name, actually, because I just don’t care. someone else can come up w a justification for that name, tho, i’m sure it’s possible). Also Miko was there and was unhappy abt their actions, and also their general existence.

Moving on. Villains!

Redcloak is the Sterling replacement, because that DEEPLY amuses me.

Xykon is a season-long main villain, probably one that Redcloak finds himself working for but then “teams up with” (read: blackmails) the Order to bring him down bc even Redcloak finds Xykon distasteful. That’s season 3, let’s say.

Tarquin is another season villain, say season 2. Nale probably shows up pretty early in s1, actually, as another recurring antagonist like Sterling but uh. Less good at it. Anyways the s2 final 3 eps deal with them (accidentally) discovering that Tarquin runs some Evil Empire Company, then trying to outplay him and take him down. Idk if Nale still dies in this version tbh.

Tsukiko is a one-off s1 villain who returns briefly in s4 alongside Miko, who has gone well and truly off the rails.

Season 1 finale has to do w Roy finally getting Vengeance for his little brother.

The vampire squad is the s4 finale villain who do smth terrible to Durkon and then get the Mother Of All Revenge served up to them by the Order.

I envision the show as being 5 seasons (like og Leverage) but I’m not going to sketch out s5 because I think it should be based off whatever happens in the current story arc, possibly involving some legacy of the OotSquiggle.

Other stuff!

The Order of the Squiggle is a legendary criminal team from the 60s who stole a BUNCH of famous shit & then proceeded to legendarily implode. This has no bearing on the plot I’ve sketched out, I just think it’s fun.

The Sapphire Guard members should probably be reworked as FBI. I don’t care about most of them but I do think that Lien and O-Chul could be like, FBI agents who Choose to look the other way while the Order does their very-much-not-legal-but-still-fair Justice Crime, and maybe even help them out on occasion.

So, the Final season-by-season outline, based on everything I’ve written so far:

s1 e1: getting the team together, doing a con for Shojo, then at the end he dies and the gang is like “dang what now?" and intend to split up except then they Don’t.

mid-s1: Nale shows up and tries to trick the Order, but then gets beat like a drum.

late s1: Tsukiko is an underling of the Villain Of The Week, winds up in police custody. But She’ll Be Back.

s1 finale: Roy’s Vengeance: The Vengeaning. also we meet Redcloak as an antagonist.

s2 e1: the truth abt Haley’s father comes out

early s2: The Two Live Crews Job but it’s the Order vs the Linear Guild and the Linear Guild ARE all bad guys.

mid-s2: Redcloak returns. ugh.

late s2: the sapphire guard FBI makes its first appearance, hello O-Chul and Lien.

s2 pre-finale: once again they’re in conflict w Nale over smth, he spends the whole episodes making Cryptic Remarks, they basically beat him (like a drum!) but then the stinger at the end is that Tarquin reveals himself and Elan is like “Dad?!”, roll credits.

s2 finale, part 1: Elan is hanging out w Tarquin bc he’s DEEP in Denial, the Rest of the team tries to take Tarquin down, but it doesn’t work.

s2 finale, part 2: Elan finally gets a clue and they manage to beat Tarquin. still haven’t decided if Nale dies or not, but I’m leaning towards yes. also they rescue Haley’s dad.

s3 e1: fuck dude idk.

early s3: Redcloak shows up, AGAIN, everyone groans. he has blackmail on them, he wants them to take Xykon down.

mid s3: The Rashomon Job but it’s about stealing the Talisman of Dorukan and it turns out that Nale was there too (“oh!” Elan says. “I was wondering why I looked so weird in all those mirrors! But it wasn’t my reflection, it was Nale’s!” “Sweetie, that wasn’t Nale’s reflection,” says Haley. “Huh,” says Elan, “so the mirrors were broken?”, cue eye rolling from everyone else.), and the Successful thief was Hilgya, who’d nabbed it from the owner before it even went on display.

s3 finale: they beat Xykon, actually factually, because he deserves to get his ass Thoroughly kicked, even if only in AU form. Lien and O-Chul are there, so are some other less helpful FBI people. There’s a bit where O-Chul Exact Wordses his way out of telling his superiors about the Order’s less legal activities without technically lying. King shit.

s4 e1: doesn’t really matter. maybe smth to do w some legacy of Tarquin’s company to set up the drama w Malack & Durkon later.

early s4: Durkon gets SENT TO PRISON. Malack approaches the Order abt this because sure they have Different Ethics but they’re still Friends. (Roy is surprised and a little hurt that he’s never heard of Malack, but he ignores that in favor of Let’s Get Whatever Fuckers Did This To Our Friend.)

immediately after that: Miko and Tsukiko return as a Team, preventing the Order from working on the Durkon situation

mid s4: Redcloak makes another unexpected & unwelcome appearance but he’s maybe a little less of a dick? the Order collaborates with Malack & his Crime Buddies (hello, Vector Legion) to pull one over on him tho, because “less of a dick” does not mean “a pleasant or decent person”, and also he was mean abt Durkon being in jail, so he totally deserved it. he still gets whatever he wanted tho, just takes a blow to his pride. also prevents the Order from helping Durkon. they’re having a LOT of setbacks wonder why that could be, not to make sure the season fills its whole length or anything, no sirree

s4 finale: something something taking down the organization, headed by Hel (yes that’s her real name), which framed Durkon for their Big Crime. Durkon goes free and Extra Firmly retires, For Good, He Swears, but says he “met someone new” who might be an asset.

s5 e1: minrah joins the team! and the episode is set in like, somewhere really snowy. that’s all i got.

the rest of s5: don’t know, don’t care, it’s open-ended until the comic finishes up.

pls tell me bout ur spider man bbys spare no details

hello! gladly, thank you!! (also i made 2 more so i’m gonna add them at the end! i hope that’s okay!)

so jade, she’s kinda our protag, i love her. she’s the granddaughter (sometimes daughter) of j. jonah jameson, and she’s a reporter like him! she’s a crusader, and she thinks everyone should the same level of information. she’s also peter parker’s bestie and always figures out he’s spider-man, and waits for him to tell her! Jade's not too close with her family outside of J Jonah, so she spends a lot of time with the parkers, and also sees aunt may as an aunt. she and harry Osborn always fight over who is Peters best friend (he has 2 hands). uhh, I think thats it, jade my beloved. Peter takes the photos and jade provides the words! oh, and jade is often the only person who can get a quote from Spidey!

John Jameson iiii, he goes by four! hes jades twin, and has zero interest in the family business. hes very undecided in life. he gets along with jade, and is pretty close to his mom! his relationship with j Jonah is a little strained, but they love each other. he has a big crush on mr. Peter Parker. science is his worst subject (its also jades. this fam can't do science). he and mj are very close! much like every spider-man character, he has a villain arc, as werewolf!

karis stark. ill be honest, she's kinda screwed up a bit by her parents. her mom kinda just dumped her with her dad, who doesn't have time for her. he changes a bit once she older, but its a little too late at that point. she's super smart and makes her own iron man-type suit, calling herself charis, trying to get the attention she never really got as a kid. this obviously isn't the right motivation for a hero, and it causes her to mess up and loose sight .. a lot. Spidey often has to clean up after. Jade is kinda mean tbh, but she almost let her die once, so.

riven thevar. I love she! okay so, she gets taken over by an alien (a symbioe maybe?) previous, she's a nice girl, kinda shy, and casually friends with the Spidey squad. she gets left out a bit sometimes, but their busy. till she gets taken over and wreaks absolute havoc for months as her new alter ego. we pick up with riven after, and we get to explore her in the wake of how she is/isnt responsible as she re-builds her life! (she isn responsible, but she feels like she is)

opal refre - okay! she's like, the evil jade. in the raimi trilogy, she has a talkshow, in TASM she has a radio show, in the mcu (my MCU) she's a tik Tok star with a podcast (this is hilarious to me!). she is determined to find out who Spidey is at any cost, and often helps ruin lives in the process (has gotten smaller criminals caught and accidentally doxxes ppl type stuff). all in the name of "journalistic integrity". jade absolutely hates her and its mutual.

new kids!

Daisy (?) Von Doom Harkness

she's the kid of Victor Von doom, doesn't know, and the adoptive daughter of Agatha harkness. she is very smart, and excels at every subject, her fave being science. getting her powers is weird but she feels compelled to help ppl, so she makes a costume and immediately starts bothering spider-man. i also think she has a storyline abt trying to take the throne of latveria from her dad.

henry harkness

her adopted older brother! he doesn’t have powers, bur he is the son of amora the enchantress, so that puts a target on his back. he’s also really into science. he’s in college when they start in the mcu, and he often helps out! and keeps its a secret from daisy originally.

[agent-cupcake]

(1) hey Cupcake I'm a big fan of your writing, a while ago you and an anon talked abt 'mickey mouse shit' fics where an abuser turns out to be a sweetheart and as someone who sometimes enjoys that kind of story let me explain why some people like it. as someone who actually kind of was in that type of relationship it can be conforting to fantasize that even the worst people can still care for you deep down, and even if your relationship is 'corrupted' or 'filthy' you can still get a happy end.

It's not that I don't know why people like this sort of thing. This is pretty much the mainstream take on romance and the plot of a majority of romance/otome games, it's a basic structure with a lot more drama (which can and often means unhealthy and abusive dynamics) to keep it interesting and maintain tension which, like you said, makes the happy ending feel earned. In a wider sense, this is the plot landscape of basically all wattpad to Netflix movies and people went wild for those. Cheritz's business model is throwing increasingly unstable men with trauma at the player to heal with their love and they're the only studio I sought out and played all of their games so, yeah I get it.

But there's levels of this. Back in my yesteryears of fanfic reading I stumbled upon a story where the reader was kidnapped by two evil dudes, suffered repeated sexual, emotional, and mental abuse, and she was just cool with it and the three of them had a lighthearted cute relationship. It wasn't a case of overcoming adversity or "earning" any sort of happiness, it was an author who wanted to play with heavy topics without having to deal with any of the uncomfy baggage of kidnap and rape. Another one also had kidnap and rape (which absolutely have no impact on long term trauma or how you interpret future relationships, right?) and she was confessing her love and deciding to stay with him by the third day. Someone told me that they read a story where a girl was in the middle of getting choked out by her love interest and decided right then and there that he was the man for her. Love, in this form, is the dissatisfying deus ex machina of fanfiction, the cure all for when the author doesn't really like the implications of the subject matter they still decided to write about and want to move on because it's inconvenient to focus on the implications of severe emotional trauma. I can't say for sure, but I think the reason these topics are used so casually to the point they're nothing more than a set up for a relationship is because the oversaturation and trivialization of kidnap and abuse in the fanfic community. The mental gymnastics of this amaze me, like people saying they want their yandere bf to kidnap them but god forbid you write about noncon 'cause that's just too far... but I digress (just to note, this isn't any sort of justification for purposefully violating somebody's established limits, I think it's strange but everybody has their own reasons and a right to like and dislike what they want).

But, okay, the thing is, I still understand why people like these types of fics. The MC isn't a character who is affected or hurt by the horrific things done to them because the author is the MC and these are their favorite hot guys and, most importantly, it's their fantasy so they already know that it will never go too far, they already know that MC loves these sexy bastards and they love MC, all of this exists in a vacuum without consequence and I get it. I'm not better for attempting "realism" it's just another form of self expression and a different type of wish fulfillment. I wholeheartedly support people's right to write and enjoy whatever they want, it has no impact on me and policing people's creative outlets when they're just doing their own thing is far more harmful than people having fun writing on the internet.

Anyway yeah it is mickey mouse shit but I'm a depraved gremlin writing gremlin shit
