what I'm learning is that MXTX series really have ☆*: .｡The Range｡.:*☆ and that my first impressions often don't survive for very long...

MDZS, initial impression: ooh revived necromancer that everyone fears, this is going to be dark and revenge-fuelled

MDZS, subsequent impression: these are Silly Lil Guys off on a romcom murder mystery

SVSSS first impression: nerd who got isekai'd into a shitty novel, crybaby puppy dog imprints on him

SVSSS subsequent impression: how many times now has the love interest tortured the main character? should I start a tally?

(i've only just finished SVSSS bk2, please no spoilers!!)

i like to think that aos bones has an interesting relationship with parenthood...

especially pertaining to his relationship with jim. not that he sees jim as his son, necessarily (i don't think they're deliberately portrayed that way in canon, nor do i headcanon them like that, but honestly fandom is fun because we all have fun in our sandbox, so if anyone happens to see them that way, neat!)

but when you're a parent, and at the same time a parent friend, it's easy to take the path of least resistance when it comes to defining the undefinable relationship you have with this guy you can't seem to live without.

is he your captain? your best friend? your patient? a command prodigy and a tactical genius? a sight for sore eyes? your personal nuisance? the one and only person you can't seem to get rid of, who drags you places you hate and points out everything beautiful to you and beams like he won the lottery when you can't help but grin just a little, who brings the light back into places you forgot could be lit up like the dawn, who saw you at your worst while actively at his own worst, and plopped his fool ass down and decided you were worth fighting for?

and that's a lot of things. especially many when you're fighting tooth and nail to keep his scrap-happy ass intact and also keep an eye on a whole starshipful of people. it's a lot easier to stick to what you know-- whatever is the least risky, the safest option, one that could never possibly backfire and bite you in the ass. sometimes you forget he could see you as anything other than a parent (give or take the friend.) but parenthood goes hand in hand with grief. parenthood has its own set of burdens. but it's easy to put yourself in that box and pretend to forget about all the other boxes, collecting dust in the closet, and sometimes he prods at the closet door with something pleading in his eyes. you pretend not to see that, either.

...you don't take it well, when he dies.

A twist to the original 'meme' where Percy calls Rachel a good girl for saving him with that dam blue plastic hairbrush.

Does this even qualify as an entry for the Hairbrush prompt tho😅?

I don't know if I should be disappointed in you for what's in cosmos blurred out speech bubbles or disappointed in myself for recognising what they say

the concept of barton having this inside joke with mister freeze where every other time he sees him, he goes ' hey, go on!! DO THE THING ' to him. and it seems victor immediately knows what he's talking about, because he just begrudgingly shoots his freeze ray at something (which causes barton to whistle and hype him up and stuff JSJSJ) is SO funny to me for no reason 💀 like he would put someone who's trying to just save his wife on a pedestal. and he would also say hi to him every time he passes by like victor is the bees-knees or something, but then proceed to say 'fuck off' right after to joker or something LMAOO

Me yesterday reading comments from the unsuspecting people:

[raapija]

Any guesses as to why nando went to the red bull house yesterday?

He has a lot of friends there (from Honda etc.) and drivers pop into other team's motorhomes all the time, it's not that strange 😅

Valtteri was in Williams last weekend and he just went to get coffee from there while everyone was going crazy speculating he is signing a contract or something 😭

[pardonmydelays]

not swifties saying "stay away from her" because mr. hamilton got the album that taylor sent him? i'm a semi-retired swiftie and just saw a bunch of us talking about it. i'm sorry but we are in nooo position to be telling other people to be staying away from girlie 😭. i'm tired of the fandom and idc anymore, i'm saying all the things in my head - if i was a diehard lin manuel miranda fan, i'd be saying the same thing to her given her recent track record with both song quality and personal actions.

you know what? even from a relatively neutral attitude towards mr. hamilton, he seems to be doing great professionally and personally, so hats off to you sir. the person who sent you that album and her fans are all fucking messes rn don't even worry about it. so disappointed in us for being rude to other artists like olivia rodrigo or even miranda (he's a broadway guy right? he's not even direct competition) when it's all punching down.

honestly swifties being rude towards other celebrities is nothing new. i saw a lot of really nasty comments about beyonce & her new album, don't even get me started on olivia... you don't have to like their music, that's fine, but is it really that hard to at least be respectful?

as for lin, i know he has a lot of haters. but swifties calling him cringe may be the funniest thing ever... cringe is what i would call some of taylor's lyrics on her new album, but then swifties would say that "i don't understand her". or, better, "you hate a successful woman", well then, why do you hate on beyonce & olivia? do you also hate a successful woman?

i feel like everyday is getting worse & worse in this fandom. i'm really tired, you know. as someone who's been a swiftie for 15 years, i'm fucking done with all of this.

Do you have Diomedes eventually being immortalized by Athena in your hcs like he is in some versions of his mythology?

Honestly, I don't really know? 😅 He kind of only "exists" in my writing until he meets once with Penelope at like, 13-14 years of Odysseus being gone. Sthenelus is, ofc, with him. :D And he tells some stories to Penelope and kind of hangs out with Telemachus before they're off again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

After that, I don't think much or plan much for him 😅 "You played your narrative purpose, now you are free to do what you please, little dude."

Maybe I'll have it mentioned or something? but I don't know for sure :'D

hi hi hi can you tell me more about the fairy simon au please also your baz is so pretty i love him so much

hOLY SHIT thank you—both for coming here to let me talk about this silly AU and for the compliment, drawing Baz is good for my mental health, honestly. he is just... so lovely. 😭💞

about Bazza in the AU: the story (kinda) takes place post-Watford for Baz, so he's in his early 20s; he's an art student, he's a magician, and he is still a vampire, but, Natasha is actually alive in this AU because Baz wasn't turned in the nursery as a kid, he was turned a bit later in life. Baz plays the violin still, too, but not as well as he does in canon because he stopped his lessons cold around 12-13, which was also right around when he started taking art pretty seriously. without the Mage's cuts and reforms and shit happening, the school still offered a plethora of creative arts courses to the students, and of course they're not quite like Normal classes 'cause pretty much everything ties back to magic in some way at Watford, etc., but he liked them well enough and they were enough to get him into a good program after he graduated!

about Simon in the AU: so, this is funny. i was actually editing my one fanfic, and i have this section in it that goes: "It is impossible to search the entire Wavering Wood. The environment is too thick with magic, the old and unpredictable kind that used to belong to faeries and fable creatures and all other manner of strange, lost things. Penelope says there are even parts of the Wood rumoured to be untouched by magicians. Hidden meadows and ancient groves and brooks that babble of the future, sequestered away because they never stop moving and changing, because they do not want to be found." and it planted this funny seed in my brain. in the books, fairies are like a lost magical people. Simon tells us that they wandered into the woods for a few centuries and then couldn't find their way back. and i just had this silly thought: "imagine a fairy does the opposite. wandered out, but then didn't know how to find its way back in."

the whole idea of the AU is like... this total whimsy-ass summer Simon and Baz get to spend together.

Baz comes home from school on holidays to visit his family: in winter and spring, that means he stays with his father. but in the summer, he goes to Watford to spend time with his mother (Natasha doesn't actually leave the school very often, she drowns herself in work; Malcolm sees her very rarely these days) but "spending time with his mother" is actually just six weeks of quiet lunches in her office together before Baz goes off to find a good place on the grounds to sit with his sketchbook and his Spotify until he has to go back for an equally quiet supper in her office together. and so it goes: less than a week into break, he decides to spend the afternoon in the Wavering Wood, and by chance, happens to meet Simon. a fairy that walked a little too far for a little too long, and can't seem to remember his way back to where he came from anymore.

and Simon is a fucking pest. but—he's harmless.

and he's pretty.

and Baz actually happens to like the Wavering Wood quite a lot, thank you very much, going back there every afternoon has absolutely nothing to do with anything else, lost fairies or otherwise! 😉😂

Good to know there’s someone else who sees Lautaro and Thuram’s incredible potential because it’s insane how there are only like two (2) people who ship them,,, as an Inter fan I can guarantee that Lautaro has never looked and smiled at any other teammate the way he looks and smiles at Marcus (not even Luk4ku), shipping aside you can tell he genuinely likes him and enjoys his company and playing with him

Where are the two people? Where are they? I need to talk 😂. No, but I love them. They're incredible both as a ship and as a striker duo. They're such a joy to watch.

I think the lack of shippers might come from the fact that there's also a lack of RPF fandom-type Inter fans. Which I think is really bad for the Serie A tumblr ecosystem. Where are you?
