efficiency and developments in technology scare me

I love that from the moment Tan kissed Fang on the cheek and Fang looks surprised and then has that super cute nose scrunch smile that he obviously likes him and that Tan brings out something in him no one else does (that we see)

But it’s also like… it’s always there, but it’s also a really lovely slow reveal of the full extent of his feelings? Until there’s no denying that oh, yeah, he’s just as gone as Tan is and just as adorably in love and that they’re perfectly matched

I don't even really interact with Hazbin Hotel beyond just knowing the songs for my friend. But... Alastor is literally so null point for romance/sex that I just can't understand why people want to ship him with... anyone... ever.

for all the dramatics in my meta, i do think shanks could’ve very easily kept buggy satisfied & committing minimal war crimes as a member of his crew. just:

say you can’t go to laugh tale until you’ve met certain reasonable criteria, like “have a strong crew,” “acquire a ship that can handle new world weather,” or “stand toe-to-toe with whitebeard and live”

make a mildly homoerotic promise to meet those criteria… together

do the work to meet those criteria (through recruitment, training, etc.)

while you're level grinding, provide buggy with enrichment by way of Treasure Maps and supervised Treasure Hunts

supervised, ostensibly so the others can acquire any Underwater Treasure he may find, or to help buggy carry All The Treasure back to the ship, but actually to keep him from wandering into naval bases and getting arrested

what’s the 2023 lore?

There's not more lore is more little things that my but mostly other roquez shippers/scholarships perception that Marc got a change in tone when speaking about Valentino... see, if you look back, especially 2021-22, he was very strong in having a consistent narrative about Vale and their rivalry. Examples include saying in an interview that with Joaquín Sánchez, where he spoke a little bit in detail about 2015, how Vale kicked him, how young he was, and how they tried to keep a relationship but after 2018 it became impossible because Valentino didn’t help or want to. So, Marc wanted nothing to do with Vale; it was a divorce. In 2022, the same discourse continued in his documentary and interviews. He wanted nothing to do with Vale in terms of fixing the relationship because Vale had no respect for him. In his documentary, he says the famous phrases, "everything started at the ranch, maybe he got mad because I broke his record," "I wouldn't do that to a 22-year-old." His mom says she took down their posters and minibikes of Vale. So, the discourse was that Marc is finally over that and wants nothing to do with Valentino...

In 2023, the discourse changes (not that he is saying he wants to be friends, fix the relationship, etc., but for sure he has at least stopped answering in such a stone-cold way). I think the biggest proof of that is the DAZN doc-ep where they show him photos, and one of them is with Vale, and he says, "they were some beautiful years." The most important part is when he is asked if he would like to have dinner with him: "I can't answer that because it doesn't depend on me." (Wait, yes, he is still being cautious, and maybe you can interpret that as him making Vale seem like the one who doesn't want to fix things and that he is the bad one. Like, yes, that's an interpretation, but that's the thing—he changed his tone. Now it is no longer a bad time of his life; it is beautiful, and he doesn't mind fixing things. The tone is different.) The biggest question for me is why??? He doesn't need to do that from a PR perspective. He did so well putting a narrative about what happened in 2015 and the young boy from that time, etc. He didn't and doesn't need to appear more calm about Valentino because the people who hate on him because of the incidents with Rossi are going to continue to hate him, and people who like him or don't mind him already have their ears full with his narrative from 2022. So, I don't get the change of tone. But again, maybe I'm delusional and pointing out things that are not there. Also, disclaimer, I was not here before 2023, so all I know are articles and videos from before, so I could be wrong 🙏🏼

Happy 31st anniversary, DS9!

Because 31 is the Sloan number, I hereby challenge the fandom to collectively post at least 31 new fanworks tagged "Luther Sloan" on ao3 this year (2024) to celebrate! >:)

(The original air date of the first DS9 episode was Jan 3, 1993.)

okay so it wouldn't be like a DIRECT au of it, just like a heavily inspired by, but BUDDIE TWISTER/TWISTERS AU:

so. buck is a storm chaser. he's got his team, him and a few others, and then abby, his girlfriend. they're working on trying to find a way to tame a twister — to get it to stop before it can start enough to do it's damage. they think they've finally got it, only when they go to put it into test there is a horrible accident and buck loses the whole team, except abby. the two of them are the only survivors. and it is DEVASTATING, but buck is like at least abby and i can lean on each other in our grief, we can get through this together. only abby quits. she quits stormchasing then and there and she leaves, just disappears, leaving buck alone with his grief. (if we want to be Extra Angsty, perhaps she even leaves with some sort of comment that implies she blames him for what happened).

so buck quits too — only it's not a permanent quit, of course. his sisters boyfriend, chimney, is a stormchaser, and when bucks home visiting maddie one day, chimney is there and he's talking about his teams plan (maybe his team was also after the same sort of twister tamer thing — maybe even based off of bucks teams initial research) and he's asking buck about it and buck hasn't thought about this stuff in a while (lies; he's thought about that incident every day since it happened.) but like enough time has passed that talking about it with someone else who's enthusiastic about the research rather than just interested in the tragedy of it all, starts to excite him a little too. and chimney tells him he should come with, when he and his team head out in a week. and after some Thinking and some encouragement from maddie, buck agrees and goes with chimney.

and so buck joins the 118 — consisting of chimney and hen and bobby (and maybe ravi too bc i love ravi okay). and it's good. they're a great team, brilliant, and they're all about helping people too. like, yes, their research is important to them, and they're fighting tooth and nail to achieve their goal, but they're put that on pause if there's even a chance for them to go help people evacuate or find shelter or clean up in the aftermath — and that's something buck really loves about the team. bc that's all he wants to do, help people. so buck fits right in with them and it's. it's fun, again. he did miss this.

and, of course, the 118 has a riiiiiival team — another group of stormchasers who are ALSO trying to find a way to stop the twisters before they can do their damage. they're both close, so it's kind of like a competition between them, which team will capture success first? but this team (not really sure who it'll consist of yet) but im undecided on if eddie would be the leader of the group or if he's just a team member, but. eddie dia,z with his sweeeeet texan twang, and his big cowboy hat and his flashy belt buckles and his charm, he's there. and their team is popular in the stormchasing world, and everyone's eyes are on them too.

but like it's always those two — the 118 and eddies team — at the forefront of it all, they're always chasing the same storms.

and both teams are on the cusp of a big storm, but the 118 catch wind that there's a small town in the path of this one, and they decide instead of following the twisters they're going to head to the town to help the people there. and they end up veering off the path and eddie notices and then HE finds out about the town and he tells his team they need to go help too but his team is like dude NO we gotta get to the twister, the 118 are gone so this is our chance to be the ones to test our tornado tamer solution, WE could beat them. and like eddies team has clearly lost the whole point of all of this — to save people. but HE hasn't, so he goes rogue and he heads to the town instead, where he finds the 118 and they're a bit wary of him at first bc it feels out of character for someone from his team to be here doing this rather than chasing the storm, but at this point im thinking buck and eddie have already had some conversations (MAYBE eddie has actually saved buck once already too so like that trust between them is already built) and buck just immediately starts shouting instructions and eddie falls into line with them and the two of them work flawlessly together and the rest of the 118 is like yeah okay he's good people and they welcome him in too.

and maybe eddies team runs into trouble too and eddie catches wind of it (he's still connected to their radios maybe?) and he's like fuck we gotta help them too so he and buck break off to go help that team (bc even if they're the 118's rivals and even if they're on the verge of the breakthrough the 118 has been chasing too, that doesn't matter rn. what matters is saving as many lives as possible) so the two of them break off to go help and they DO but eddies teams solution DOESNT work, but they took the 118's truck that was loaded with THEIR solution so buck and eddie let that loose and THAT DOES end up working and so buck and eddie save eddies team AND the town AND each other.

and, OF COURSE, through all of that buck and eddie fall in love, and in the end eddie ends up joining buck's team, and they chase storms together, and when they have bad days, when they have close calls, they're there for each other and they're not going anywhere, and they ALWAYS have each other's backs <3

ughhh it's just like. ed doesn't love stede because he's an amateur he loves stede because of his whimsy and his fresh outlook on life and he loved stede just as much when he went crazy and lit a whole ship on fire. he doesn't care if stede kills guys he just doesn't want stede to be sad. and stede doesn't mind if ed doesn't want to be blackbeard anymore. he'd support it even! he just wants to be with ed and he's finally become the "bloodthirsty pirate" he wanted to be and that he thinks ed wants him to be and is caught up in the newness of that. and ed is happy for stede genuinely but he never needed stede to be anything but who he is. and now he's worried that stede would rather live the life of an infamous pirate than any life with him. and stede is pursuing this life in part because he wants ed to think he's cool enough. and ed doesn't regret having sex with stede he just thinks he's given it all away only for stede to realize he doesn't want ed and leave again. and they both just want to protect each other from harm and impress each other because they love each other so so much. but they have different ideas about what's harmful and they don't understand that they don't have to fundamentally change themselves in order to be what the other person wants. do u understand
