i vote that next year instead of reading Dracula we do a Jeeves & Wooster Book Club. those two never got the rabid tumblr shipping fandom they deserved (disqualified for the sheer technicality of being published a century too soon). we must correct this injustice

Vhnemdkjf purble irep! Can we see more fairy irep and anti-fairy peri?

Yup!! During their schooling, where the most amount of swaps happened, the two would end up swapping in more than just color palettes!

Sometimes Peri would get caught scheming and plotting Irep's demise (Revenge for Ruining his Science Project). Or Irep will get caught doing something very nice and wholesome for another Fairy (Helping a new student find their way around school).

Just as Anti Cosmo and Cosmo has a bit of each other's personalities mixed up, Peri and Irep has a bit of an overlap in behaviors, haha. They both love to monologue, for example. The more swaps a pair does, the more mixed they get!

Thinking of yandere linked universe but the plot twist in all of this is that the real true yandere was always the first link, maybe he had a darling when he was imprisoned, maybe he did fall for hylia, only the goddess know and had see how absolutely terrified link could be so she take him as his chosen one, because she see him almost a monstrous as demise himself so what better than fight fire with fire? Any yandere link come from that part of the heroes spirit that stay still even reborn, and also why Hylia always bless them when they want to protect the darling, bless them taking darling scapes away, because hylia is terrified of his chosen one and prefer him doing his work willingly and what better motivation than a defenceless human darling?.

Hylia don't need to be a scheming bitch, all she have to do is make sure the human is safe and do one or other miracle in from of the links to prove their darling is a 'bless from the goddess'.

I bring a "A non-insignificant portion of Charles' more morally grey moments in old comics i.e. having a crush on Jean is due to ableism and demonisation of wheelchair users, and by extension a part of the X-Men fandom hate of Charles is inevitably demonisation of his disability, and if he had always been walking I doubt we would be sitting here talking about how irredeemable he is nearly as much" vibe that the X-Men bloggers don't really like.

All these years later, 1x05 remains a top tier episode:

NOTE THE GUSTO

Ed standing Like That as Stede "loots" the books

Stede already sulking to his boyfriend that their prisoner doesn't find him scary and Ed immediately stepping in to give him some tips, setting Stede's heart and dick all aflutter

Flashbacks to Ma Teach, the five minutes of screen time that launched a thousand fics

Ed's expression when he holds the red silk!!

The way Ed's eyes get bigger and bigger as Stede tells him all the reasons he'll probably hate the party

Ed immediately inviting Frenchie along fuck yeah

LUPETE REAL

"Actually I think I'm just so-so, but I've decided to carry myself like I'm cute." ICONIC.

Jeff...the accountant.

Also a MOMENT for Ed in all his purple finery and his HAIR and the little bows in his beard!!!

What does a viceroy do? Whatever the fuck he wants, babe!

Ed's expressions throughout all the palpitations talk

THE FIRST PYRAMID SCHEME!!!!!

Fang blushing at being complimented for his stunning cheekbones

The way Stede kind of rolls his eyes when Ed begins showing off his musical abilities aklajdslkadja I love this dynamic so much and I wish we got to see more of it

Lucius and Fang's whole dynamic during the sketching scene

"They are such dicks about spoons."

Ed's adorable angry puppy face and little huffs

STARK REVELATIONS Stede Bonnet you fucking badass I love you

My (first) entry for the Thespius fashion zine (here's the other one :>) organised by @binksart! I had a lot of fun, thank you so much for organising this :D

The problem with making fake covers is that now I wish I could read the articles, haha. But in this particular case there's an entire zine available and it's gorgeous, go check it out!!

Stumbled upon this old gem on twitter while I was looking for something completely different. SPC originally posted this before SWBTS came out. Sadly the picrew link no longer works.

[humming-fly]

I just noticed ur shadow now. When did that happen?

2 days ago! 😜

(I swapped it out for April Fools and you're the first who noticed hahaha, congrats!)

I might leave it up for a bit till I can tidy up a new icon, I usually change em out with a bit more frequency than I have been 🤔 but in the meantime here's the full rez of that icon as a reward for noticing it! (and the og icon it replaced so ya'll can appreciate my commitment to keeping the pose the same lol)

i was sort of wondering why exactly i've been sympathising with Eva so much, apart from, admittedly, bias- i did start considering that due to that, maybe i'd been internally exaggerating how Wolfgang & Co had been treating her. but i replayed some of Chapter 1, and honestly? now i'm of the opinion that Eva was justified to be afraid of Wolfgang, even if what she did in response was inexcusable.

because it wasn't just that Wolfgang told the others to be wary of Eva (and Damon) which caused them to feel othered. consciously or not, he literally attempted to control their movement on at least two occasions- when he attempted to stop them joining in on the exploration of the pharmacy, and then when he demanded to know where they were when they reached the dining hall last.

in his defence, i don't think Wolfgang was being malicious in doing so, i reckon he did genuinely believe he was protecting the others. but in doing so, for the two members of the group he disagreed with, he actively attempted to further restrict their freedom- in a situation where they're all already trapped!! i'm not surprised that Eva, with frustration, mentioned during the trial how much she'd been watched and suspected- multiple times, if i recall correctly. of course it got to her.

but that probably wasn't even the scariest part for her. it was probably just how easily Wolfgang had taken a leadership role within the group and how willing they were to listen to him without question. only Diana really spoke up against him on one occasion and got him to begrudgingly "allow" Eva and Damon to tag along. i mean, on that note, the fact that Wolfgang even casually commented that he wanted group decisions to be allowed by him, following the minor incident of Desmond taking initiative and checking the room locks, was extremely alarming!! like i mentioned, i don't want to villainise Wolfgang, but it does seem like he has the tendency to be rather controlling, whether or not he realises it. i would be willing to bet that the herd mentality implication was done completely on purpose, considering that Wolfgang's animal motif is a sheep and the writing team have done the symbolism in the game so well.

for all this, i can understand Eva's point of view. i know that, as Wenona had mentioned, there's a chance that Eva didn't actually feel threatened by Wolfgang, but i personally am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. because if she was honest about being on edge, that would be a rather reasonable emotional response, in my opinion.

what else are you to feel when you're at odds with an honoured individual who effortlessly holds the power to turn so many others against you too and potentially put your safety at risk, if not terror?

Celebrimbor: (after about three too many wine glasses) I think Eru himself slipped me a kind soul

Celebrimbor: Because with the wit, intelligence and ability to scheme that i inherited from my father i would have been so much better at being evil

Annatar: (nodding and passing him another bottle)

Celebrimbor: Sometimes I begin to feel the evil bubble up from the depths of my soul

Celebrimbor: but Alas I'm a lover at heart :)

jerejean fake dating au where someone wont leave jean alone and cat is like “wait! i have the perfect solution” and sets them up to date fake date.

she knows from laila and her own observations that jeremy needs to stop hooking up with those fuck ass guys because he deserves someone who doesn’t treat him like shit. and knows that jeremy is kind enough to help a friend of her’s out if she says it’s dire (which in her defense, it is) without looking too hard at her reasoning.

even in a fake relationship, jeremy won’t cheat, never mind that they have to keep up appearances, which means no more self-harm hookups. add on that jeremy’s demeanor will fight off jean’s harasser bc he acts as a trojan does and pulls shit like “oh! that’s rude, considering your current roster. i hope you apologize to them later” so cat is assured that they will be the perfect match for helping their current problems.

but while she mainly wants to help out two people she cares about, she secretly thinks they would be good together and for each other. (it’s not so secret, laila has heard her talk it up for hours)

and then, of course, they fall in love

Bit of an older animation but I still think it’s funny lol

This whole time my dumbass thought that the ring (currency) Shadow was looking at in the comic where he hands over Sonic, was a ring (engagement).

So with the Amy-Trauma reveal I was like SHADAMY??? And now I feel big stupid.

I mean to be fair, that could still be the case. I dunno what you‘ve got cooked up in your (presumably) evil mind.

Is Shadows backstory still the same otherwise? With Maria? Was Amy Shadows 'new sister'?

I mean- they definitely weren’t just co-workers???

Platonic? Familial?? Past Romance???

…

also! Totally agree that your Amy design is absolutely adorable!!!! 🥰

Yes, the rings are like currency in this au since Sonic Prime had them for like two seconds in the first season and never used it again lmaooo! They're kinda like batteries in a way? They can store energy as well as give it in some cases, which is why Sonic just straight up wears rings on his gloves in this au to balance out the Prism energy in his body (he's twinning with Shadow fr).

As for Amy and Shadow's relationship, I'm planning on leaving it up to the readers interpretation on what they had. If you wanna see Shadamy, go ahead, if not, you don't have to in order to enjoy their dynamic!

The whole point of Shadow's little character arc in this au was for him to learn how to define different relationships and what certain people mean to him. At least that's what I'm going for 😅

Does this Shadow have a Maria? I'm not sure myself since Sonic Prime didn't really mention it. It most likely will not be addressed in this au specifically but if ya'll want a Maria design for Fragmented, I can probably cook something up 😈
