I'm back with my Masters of Universe brain rot so...

What sibling interactions and headcanons do you have for the twins, Adam and Adora?

Thanks for the ask!

Yay for MOTU brain rot!

Okay...hmm....

- Adam steals Adora’s jacket from time to time because he think he looks cool.

- Adora and Adam impersonated each other once (in robes and hoods) and it worked for one minute.

- Adora has ridden Battlecat into battle and Adam has ridden Swift Wind.

- Adam can’t handle Etherian food and Adora can’t handle Eternian food.

- Homosexuality is common on both Etheria and Eternia (a little more so on Eternia).

- When Adam and Adora met, everyone else stopped fighting because the two looked exactly alike. Adora and Adam didn’t notice it and continued to fight until Glimmer and Teela, respectively, pulled them apart and showed them.

- It took another week for them to realize they were related.

- Mermista joked that the Princesses should get the title of Masters of the Universe because they’ve actually been into space.

- (In more recent He Man shows they’ve been making jokes about the 80s pun names and jokes) The MOTU cast would lose their minds when they learned everyone’s name on Etheria.

- Both Adora and Adam can fall asleep anywhere.

- Adora didn’t want to meet Marlena and Randor for a while. She only joined Adam to meet them about a year after finding out he was her brother.

- (She Ra 2018) - Adora was suspicious of the Sorceress when she first met her.

- Adam and Adora have strength and endurance tests.

I’m not sure if it was intentional on Rian Johnson’s part… but I found it so interesting how Knives Out and Glass Onion both illustrated how often white women can and will throw WoC under the bus to further their own self interests. Especially with regards to money and power.

In Knives Out, we watched Meg throw Marta (who she spent the whole movie advocating for) under the bus when she found out that Marta wouldn’t give her the money.

And then in Glass Onion, we watched 2 white women (and a black man) throw a black woman under the bus to further their own respective financial and professional goals. We also watched one of the white female characters treat her Asian female assistant like absolute shit, to the point that she was willing to use her career as collateral damage for money.

This isn’t to say this always happens, but it’s never surprising when it does.

Camlann really does hit all the emotional highest highs and lowest lows of archetype fiction. What if an Arthurian knight liveblogged the final four days of his life. What if there was a dog and he was so so good. What if one of you saw the path forward clear as day but the other was the one who had to muddy their shoes on it. What if Odysseus was a gay yacht pilot. What if you were the most pivotal character in every story you know but also you're just a little guy. What if Morgan le Fay and Queen Guenivere ki-

Vlad did not expect this shit at all what the fuck???

You know those twin/sibling aus with Danny and Damian? That but in Vlad's POV

CMON I feel like it's underutilized, given how Vlad has an obsession with wanting Danny to be his son when he ISNT greedy for power and control.

Like Vlad Masters takes pride in thinking that he knows everything about Danny like the creepy bastard he is.

So imagine when shit hits the fan as always with these AUs; Vlad expects Danny to come crawling to him or at least last a few days until he gives up and finally goes to Vlad for help.

But then Danny disappears, and Vlad doesn't know where the brat is. Time passes by, and no matter what, Daniel hasn't come out of whatever hidey hole he is. That is until PLOT HAPPENS AGAIN- Vlad gets a hint that Daniel is in GOTHAM of all places- so he goes!

And most of the time when Vlad finally shows up in these aus, it's of course at the Gotham Gala–time to start shit up!

There he finds Daniel with Bruce Wayne of all people, hanging out with that Wayne's youngest child. Where Vlad sees the eerie similarities with Daniel and the Wayne Boy, minus the eyes and what-not. He sees Daniel staying close to Brucie and his son, that will not do.

This would give Vlad the opportunity to finally mold the brat into his perfect son, and even get Maddie in the process!

But of course, with these aus, Vlad doesn't get Daniel, so Vlad is pissed because how dare the brat choose Wayne over Vlad Masters???

Why would the boy choose Brucie Wayne over coming with Vlad?! Over coming home?! Over his parents?! Vlad would understand, even be elated since usually in these types of aus, Danny has a falling out with the Fentons or it just isn't safe at home anymore.

But after all, this is Vlad's POV: he'd be pissed and confused on WHY Daniel would dare choose Wayne over him, he could support Daniel just fine, he knows what the boy needs.

But the way that angry brat glared murderously at Vlad; and Daniel doesn't do anything to get the Wayne boy to stop, in fact he seems concerned for the other boy who's glare would kill. Bruce Wayne even seemed smart enough to get Daniel and his son away with a smile, and Daniel is letting them.

These people shouldn't be this protective of the boy, given that somehow Daniel ended up in their care. But the way, Danny Fenton seems to trust them enough to know that he could travel with them willingly...

But WHY would he???

I'm trying to decode some of the cryptograms on the website (I never really cracked any of the codes before, so I am very slow + relying on help from others in the hunt for some of them, haha), and here is what I have so far (each answer is to be typed into the computer):

The Candle (rune cipher): "CURSED"

Blind Eye Poster (color cipher): "EUCLYDIAN DEPT OF VISION SUPERVISION"

Someone on Reddit said that the letters translated to "THEY'LL ALL SEE" but I haven't confirmed that myself. Also, you get the poster by typing "Blind Eye" into the computer.

Soul Contract (theraprism cipher): "YOU ARE NOW TWENTY ONE GRAMS LIGHTER"

This one is a bit complicated. First you have to type "FAUSTIAN" backwards into the computer, which brings up a flyer from Bill. If you decide to go through what he wants, on the final page you'll find the theraprism cipher (translated above), and then a huuuuge paragraph of Bill's code that I haven't tried to translate yet. On the first page, by the way, is the name of his lawyer, which is the answer to a huge string of questions in the computer. So jot that down, too.

Bros Doodle (bros secret code): "WANNA KEEP NOTES FROM PARENTS AND COPS? HERE'S A HINT: KINGS OF NEW JERSEY!"

You can get the bros doodle by typing "love ya bro" into the computer.

Jheselbraum Photo (theraprism cipher): "SET COORDS TO DIMENSION: R34LITY"

Really, Alex? R34 in that code? You're not slick, pal. You get her photo by typing "SEVENEYES" into the computer.

There are two things that I'm still stuck on. One is a sort of trivia hunt that is on the website that starts with the book and continues through the website. Essentially, it starts with asking you one question that you can find the answer for in the book. You put that into the computer, and are presented with another question. Find that answer in the book, get a new question, so on and so forth. It was going fine until I got to the question about Bill's lawyer (referenced above). The only mention of him having a lawyer was one of his henchmaniacs in the book . . . but that failed no matter how I entered it in, because the answer wasn't in the book. (At least, not the standard edition; not sure about the B&N edition.) It was on the website. So I found the answer finally and put it in, but now the question is, "What defeated Silas Birchtree?" I know that Silas Birchtree's page is in the B&N edition, but none of the answers from that page have worked in the computer so far, and as far as I can tell no one else has figured out the answer, either. I'm stumped.

The second thing is the code on the bottom of Ford's page to Dipper in the book on the website. It looks very similar to the author's code / Bill's code, but several of the characters are backwards or missing, meaning that neither of those ciphers work. Again, I haven't found anyone else who has cracked those, either. And I feel like this is a code that will reveal something big. (Or it won't and I'm just a fool in a man's shoes.) Solved! Turns out the code was just flipped and it's: "AD ASTRA PER ASPERA." Very cool but not the earth-shaking revelation I was hoping for, haha. (But I did still love it so much.)

I've discovered a lot of other things, too, but these are the main puzzles so far. All the other stuff is just delicious material to hoard / others have already shared, haha. I'll keep working on any ciphers I find. Good luck, fellow mystery hunters!

Dazai and Chuuya both have PTSD stemming from childhood abuse

"I think in the PM they're the only one who can calm the other during an episode. They don't know how to handle their emotions and probably try to push the other away so they don't have to face the reality that what happened to them happened to someone else. They hate eachother because they cope in different ways, they hate that the other had to suffer. Regardless they always come back to eachother because they're the only people who underatand."

Image ID: A colored manga transparent of Dazai infront of the PTSD flag by themogaidragon.

The second image is of a 15 manga transparent of Chuuya infront of the same flag.

The divider is of the flag used in both images but turned into a gradient.

some ghost duke ideas. i like to think his spooky presence can ward off some mutants sometimes

I was gonna wait till the official chapter to screenshot this quote but I don't really like how Shonen Jump translated this quote...

SJ officially translated it as "Your death is a nuisance to every person who's ever known and loved you" which just makes it sound so... negative.

But in all seriousness, it's moments like this that truly remind me just how much one piece means to me.

Even if Oda doesn't intentionally write these morals into his story, it's moments like these that truly feel as if the characters are speaking to us.

Even if you think you're nothing but trouble to those around you, there will always be people who grieve for your loss.

"Im worried what people would think of you then, that you're just a personal whore or something- i don't want to ruin your reputation.."

"Are you kidding? 'My dick was so good i got promoted-' Thats the biggest flex i can think of!"

"Well, you're certaintly enthusiastic about this."

storytelling secrets

Thank you for the tag @simvanie ! The next "arc" for SLATE is still a wip so these are tentative to change!

1. An ex joins the story to stir things up 2. A new home for an unexpected new beginning 3. Something so small will end up breaking the camels back 4. Elephant in the work place 5. A second chance could be good for the heart

I'll tag... @duusheen, @lexaverse, @bakersimmer, @acuar-io, and @plumdale!! (feel free to ignore!)

Get to Know Me and My Obsession with KISS 🎸

Thanks for the tag @starry-eyed-never-satisfied

1. Who is your favourite member?

Okay. Paul is my first love but sexy Ace is competing with him but god I have to say Paul.

2. Who is your least favourite member?

Everyone saying Mark. I know nothing bout him

3. Best album?

RARO ...I'm assuming studio albums and live albums don't count???

4. Worst album?

I didn't listen to their last two albums and have no intention to do so ATM

5. Favourite song?

THIS IS TOO HARD TO CHOOSE. Guess I gotta say Love Gun Though But I love C'mon and Love Me!

6. Say one nice thing about each member.

Paul- He's the STAR of KISS. I probably wouldn't have gotten into KISS if it weren't for him. Everything I adore and want to be

Gene- I wanna listen to him talk while we share milk and chocolate chip cookies together

Peter- I have a soft spot for him. I think he can be really sweet and cute

Ace- Sexy, trashy, baby girl, sexy girl in hooker boots. Wanna bend over and smack that ass. He and Paul are my bisexual fantasies. BUT SERIOUSLY, The first guitar player that made me go WOW. Never got the hype about lead guitarists before but then I was thinking of 80s rock and 80's rock solos never resonated with me. His solos are iconic, not just shredding/mindless noodling. As someone who never learned how to read music, I think it's amazing he influenced many to learn. I'd love to learn how to play. Not to be in a band but I've always wanted to play a guitar. Also, I'd love to hang out with him. He's funny and bright. I think there's softness to him and I'd like to believe (coming from a fan, of course) that he's a good person. He also reminds me of my ex early 90s era....so I guess I have a soft spot for him

Eric C- I wish I could meet him. If I had to pick one member I could meet it would be him because I know he'd be super sweet

Vinnie- talented songwriter and amazing voice. Gorgeous

Mark- He did his job on Animalize

Bruce- Super sweet. He was the cutie of the group during revenge era ngl. Paul had competition.

Eric S- Seems really funny. got a nice tight body. seems every KISS drummer has a nice bod.

Tommy- Loyal and hard working. I can see why KISS kept him. Honestly he'd the kind of guy you want in your group.

7. What do you dislike about each member?

Gene- Condescending. I can see he has some views on things that I'd butt heads with him on

Paul- Overly critical of others, may come across cold. He scares me. y'all see his posts for new years???? He can come across very hurtful in his choice of words

Peter- Bitter (in the past it seems) and tbh some of the shit I read and heard that unfortunately was allowed to slide (sometimes even passed off as "funny" stories). It's a sensitive topic for me.

Ace- like Peter, awful things said and done that cannot be solely blamed on addiction which I'm very glad he recovered from btw. I'm honestly glad I never put this man on a pedestal and it's not just because "he's human like the rest of us". lol I love him but I'm glad I've been exposed to the bad early on this obsession so I don't have any unrealistic ideas about ppl, you know? I think I need to sleep with him to sort out these feelings lol

Eric C- I don't know that much to comment and feels almost unfair because he was taken away from us much too soon

Vinnie- stop scamming people omg. the insanity and charging ppl for memberships and you haven't released shit???

Mark- don't know about him. can't comment

Bruce- Maybe too nice for his own good.

Eric S- I don't know. Should have created a sex tape with Gene

Tommy- Kinda weird seeing him try to mimic Ace's facial expressions. One thing to imitate solos and his space persona but his mannerisms? I dunno just weird to see someone mimic what Ace's face naturally does? Kissy pouty lips only work for Ace

8. How did you get into KISS?

years ago, just bombarded with their imagery and sound on TV shows

9. Have you been to a concert?

Their last show. Crushing, I know

10. Do you have any merch?

I have a shirt

11. Unique thing you have related to KISS?

None, sadly. Like I have nothing solid if that's what you mean. anything that may have in common? sure but feels too personal to share here

12. Who is/are your favourite lineup?

This is hard because early 90s KISS was TIGHT. but I'll always love the original 4, but sweet Foxy and Brucie is so precious

13. What's your favourite era?

FUCCKKK....see this is hard. I have a big soft spot for Dynasty/Unmasked but I also love DTK and HTH

14. What are your opinions on Tommy and Eric?

They did their job. If they hadn't stepped in I wouldn't have seen KISS final show and for that I am grateful. I enjoyed their participation.

15. A question you would ask the band if you could?

I'd ask if I could suck their dick. That's tough. What haven't they've been asked before? Honestly I got some questions for Ace that's been bugging me and I know I'd never get them answered unless I knew him personally and had a real heart-to-heart conversion. I dunno I can only go off from a fan's perspective about how that'll go

16. What other bands/artists are you into?

Led Zeppelin, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Lady Gaga, Stromae, used to really like Adam Ant, The Sweet, OLP, Franz Ferdinand, Daft Punk. I listen to all kinds of genres and artists so I like what I like

17. Do you have a KISSona?

Don't have one. I'm assuming like a fursona? lol

18. Who are some of your favourite blogs?

@ladyshandioftheendless @elrohare @silverstarfoxx (thank you for tolerating all my pestering! never hesitate to reach out to me for more Ace goodies!) @notpaulsguitar @ohblackdiamond (though tbh I swear you have answered this lol) @space-frehley-22 @spacefoxy (resident eric carr connoisseur) @speckster (you have crazy ass edits) and same goes for @bangbangyou love your funny memes. the IP address as a response always gets me lol @starry-eyed-never-satisfied (you already did this but adding you here anyway fellow Paulie enjoyer!) There's many more I wish I could just mass tag KISS blogs lol. There are blogs that are no longer active but I am glad they are still around

19. If you could spend a day with one member who would it be?

Hard because I love Paul but he scares me. I think I'd need more than a day to get comfortable with him. I'd love to spend a day with Eric C or Bruce because they seem the nicest. Maybe I'd love to hang with Peter now. Gene, may be fun. He's a good talker. Though it be fun to get one-on-one time with Ace. I'd love a tour of all his tech and then we can compare and just geek out on technology.

20. How would you explain the band to someone who isn't familiar with KISS?

I don't know. Honestly the other people who answered this already gave greats explanations. So many pass judgment on them without giving them a chance. They're a one-of-a-kind experience. There will never be a band like them.

Spoilers for the Hulk annual that came out today (I just wanted to board out a couple of moments from it!)

Also non-spoilery frames I like

[neriyon]

How about... Claudien and Yulan for the shipping ask!

Ooooh, did not see that one coming!

Biggest hurdle for them is that Yulan is not the WoL so they didn't really meet during MSQ events. But Yulan is a goldsmith with an intense fascination towards mammets, and Claudien is a scholar, so they could theoretically meet due to their jobs. Either with Yulan being contracted to work on mammets in Labyrinthos, or with Yulan being asked about the crystal from pandae questline 🤔

Other than that, I don't really see too many problems for them~ Claudien is a good looking lad, and Yulan would be attracted to both his forward way of speaking his thoughts out loud and his dedication to his work. I can imagine Claudien blurting out his budding crush on Yulan, and the viera lad just going beet red and running off all angry looking, haha. I feel like he'd be forward enough to work it through Yulan's little bursts, and manage to calm the skittish goldsmith down enough to get him to open up about his own feelings.

Or, failing that, they'd be good buddies I think. Just like, chatting about their work, cool rocks found in Aitiascape or something.

[t0t411y-n0t-hum4n]

My 2023 Wrapped: (late because after an all nighter, i am realizing things and im fucking angry and also confused but it all makes sense now)

You spent 897 hours worrying about things that didn't really matter to you, but other people made a big deal about it (that's 37 days!)

You said "I'm going to fucking lose it" exactly 9,421 times while keeping it together, and maybe it would have been better if you lost it!

You made 4 characters to inflict with the very troubles you were going through, but didn't know it until you had the time and energy to think critically!

You sent 967 messages in the venting channel of your sad empty discord server! (That's 892 more messages than last year!)

You avoided contact for a month even though you could have messaged at any time! And then proceeded to make excuses as to why you couldn't, because you were exhausted!

You developed 3 new fucked up coping mechanisms! (You're in the top 0.5% of insufferable fuckers!)

You spent 10,875 minutes playing video games to distract yourself from reality!

You dissociated for more than a day or two 12 times, that's an all time high!

You drank about 20 Monster Energy drinks! 8 of those were just to make you feel decent instead of irritable and rude! To please people around you!

You nearly punched a wall 12 times! All in 4 months! (That poor wall, it didn't do anything.)

In the month of August, you apologized to one person on an average of 6.4 times a day! That's a fucking lot, you pushover!

4 people now hate your guts! Congratulations on trying to be likeable but failing so hard! Why do you even care? (/gen)

You made 762 ocean wildlife puns. So that's something cool.

It looks like you had a really shitty year! I guess there's always another, until there isn't. At least you made it through this one! Had me guessing for a while there!
