#also its NOT a CRACKSHIP I STAND BY THAT ALSO

[sonknuxadow]

okay sorry for having opinions on sonic shipping but . the more popular a ship is the more likely i am to be annoyed by it so its probably for the best that my favorite ship is one of the not as popular ones . but also the way sonknux gets talked about (or not talked about) as a result of it being less popular drives me up the wall . what do you mean it doesnt make sense. hes literally not staring at the moon and thinking about him💔

[ READ ]: sender reads a book aloud to receiver. from joe the axeman. book is of your choosing.

↪ 𝑺𝑪𝑬𝑵𝑨𝑹𝑰𝑶𝑺 . @sanityclaws

"may you not rest, as long as i am living," she drags thoughtfully on the cigarette slotted between her fingers. an ugly habit, she knows, but she had never been one to succumb to only one vice at a time . . . one always became two, then three, on and on until she could no longer count her offenses. one of his hands rests on her knee, chafing absently against her skin, though she doubts he would be anything less than attentive to the sensation, despite appearances. in the other he holds a worn, ragged copy of a novel, from which he reads evenly, filling the room with the rich intonations of his voice which she has come to appreciate and long for as much as any physical touch from the man himself. it's no secret, she thinks, and it is as good as proven to her as he slants his gaze slyly toward her where she lays reclined upon the bed. he withdraws his hand a moment after, turning the page with an unhurried air, letting his wrist settle then against the arm of the chair.

the absence of touch is an offense all its own though he chooses to play oblivious, cleaning her of his gaze in order to cast it back to the page, continuing on unperturbed by the flint of her gaze, accepting the transfer of the filter to his own fingers, only to stub it in the tray with plain disinterest. "you said i killed you -- haunt me, then. the murdered do haunt their murderers. i believe . . . i know, that ghosts have wandered the earth." he pauses, though she is unsure whether he trips upon the words themselves or if her advance has given him pause, as she slides from his bedding to impress herself into his space, settling sideways across his lap, the hand he'd left against the armrest moving automatically to her back to steady her. he glances up at her with the same knowing, burning quality in his gaze, and as he leans toward her, she mirrors him in reverse, the smile taunting as she does; ❝  read. ❞

the command is short, but sufficiently chiding, and he breathes a chuckle into the small space between them, and still obeys her nonetheless as her arms move to drape his shoulders. "be with me always, take any form. drive me mad --- only, do not leave me in this abyss where i cannot find you. oh, god . . . it is unutterable . . .' the structure of his sentence falters as she leans close, an exhale ghosting past his ear, a slight graze of teeth offered at the hinge of his jaw. she hears the book thud to the floor, but he finishes even so, his hand sliding smoothly beneath the hem of her dress. "i cannot live without my life . . . i cannot live without my soul."

Thinking about my thoughts on Inkneedles ship from Magnus Protocol, apologies for followers who saw this already but I decided it needs its own post. I am getting somewhat Magnus Protocol brainrot i admit

Inkneedles dynamic is like imagine a Twitch Streamer and a TikToker who both met as mututals on DeviantArt in 2013 (Needles nuked their DeviantArt years ago when they blew up on Vine; Ink5oul still has their DeviantArt and refuses to get a more professional portfolio of their work), and they lowkey can't stand each other but no one else likes them so they can't get rid of each other. And the reason everyone else hates them is totally the fault of their toxic friendship. Like Needles 100% outed Ink5oul as nonbinary in a Tumblr callout post on one of his alts but blamed another one of their mutuals and convinced Ink5oul to go no contact with that mutual to keep up the lie. And the few TikToker friends Needles ever made all got their accounts mass-reported when Ink5oul got jealous and sent their Twitch audience after them. And they're always sabotaging each other like this. But Needles stays in a spare room on the second floor of Ink5oul's tattoo parlor rent free and stays up until 5AM making DIY piercing tutorials on TikTok (note: these tutorials are all terrible, unclear if he's doing that intentionally for the whole Fear Monster thing or if he's just bad at it naturally), sleeps past noon every day, and gets woken up by Ink5oul blasting the most atrocious dubstep remix of a Lady Gaga track you've ever heard in your life. Needles has 100% doxxed Ink5oul's home address twice over this behavior, refuses to admit it, but all the same Ink5oul won't give him their new address after the last time. Also every time Ink5oul threatens to kick Needles out for not paying rent, Needles just gives Ink5oul a promo on his tiktok and gets the twitch stream like 200 new followers and Ink5oul decides to let it slide. Both of them have huge folders of "receipts" on their phones about the other one in case they ever feel like they need to cancel them. Notably none of these receipts are about either of the other's supernatural crimes, it's all just stuff like them being problematic or petty.

Ink5oul calls Needles a clout-chaser on stream at least once a week. Needles is vague-posting about their bourgeoisie "landlord" every few days. They hate each other. They can't escape each other. Crackship of the century.

Also I rescind my other post about them, i think i do ship it now actually

[the-mcyt-crackships-brackets]

PSA: These Brackets contain multiple Ch!WilburSoot ships, We DO NOT stand with CC!WilburSoot actions, and send all of our support toward shubble, if you are uncomfortable with these ships, please don't interact and/or block the wilbur soot tag. if those ships are too problematic, they can be replaced. anyway his ass got destroyed

Welcome to the MCYT Crackships Bracket!

Here, we will be seing which crackship is the best, and because that statement is vague, you get to make your opinion!

Each crackships was randomly agenced from Characters You chose! (This also sadly means we can't take more submissions, at least yet (mcyt crackships brackets V.2. Confirmed ???))

This is all meant to be in good fun, so please be respectfull with others and use propaganda the least wisely you can! (propaganda isn't endorsed, it's encouraged!)

We as a community can get inspired by these, make art! fanfics! (and if you do, please tag me) of your favorite Crackship!

Maybe we could even find a name for them, after all, maybe the next "big ship" will be in this, who knows?

WE ARE NOW IN THE SEMIFINALS!

The brackets will not be revealed yet, but when all of the polls will be published! this way, we can still get you surprised!

*Orionsound - Rat SMP version

*LDshadowlady - Empire SMP season 1 version

*Zombiecleo - Pirate SMP version

*Katherine Elizabeth - Empire SMP season 2 version

*Fundy - L'Manberg version

*Fwhip - Empire SMP season 1 version

*Pearlescentmoon - Double life version

*Slimecicle - QSMP version

Our thoughts and observations under the cut!

Round 1:

I clearly thought Ninjaslap would be the biggest sweep, but pixltoile suprisingly fought well, And fish yuri left no shot to Zaypixel and Geminitay

Round 1.1.3 was extremly close, but Shubble x Hypno won by O.8%! (≈4 peoples!)

We already got two piece of "propagandart" (propaganda art) in round 1, and both were for Fish yuri! (by @t4tpolypd and @staringamassivemistakeintheface)

Round 2:

Mogbeans/Swamp boys tried hard but T4T yuri was stronger (My boys 😭 - Admin 1)

Littlesoot got its ass kicked by hotguy/fundy and was crying in a corner when suddendly, out of nowhere, it took itlwblr by storm, broke containment, the poll broke 1k votes, became the most noted of the brackets (yet) and won with a large margin!

FWhilza fought well but Bighills was stronger

Fish Yuri still prevail with the biggest sweep yet (87.3%!!!)

Jojosolos/Jack Manifold vs Tommyinnit/Scott Smajor was the closest yet! (50.1 to 49.9!!!!)

So many art!!!!!!! look at the tag (#propagandart) it's worth it!!!!!

Round 3 and PURGATORY 1 :

Scegg vs Stresstherine was so close it switched side at least 5 times!

i'm genuenely impressed by clownscar comeback they've constantly been close but didn't get ahead during the whole poll and somehow managed to win in the last stretch!

WE MADE MOGBEANS CANON!!!!!!! VIVA LA SOS SMP!!!!

Fish Yuri is unstopable and has killed many great ships now (rip Bighills we loved you so much)

Bdubs Smol Bdubs is tall!

Content SMP fans are sad today, the last two ships they had just sank! (bye bye Evillnox and Skizzlerat)

So much art! and even more as been promised! (you need to check out #propagandart if you haven't already)

Round 4 and PURGATORY 2 :

Fish Wives felt resistence to the first time facing Clownscar, but still they were too powerful

Clownscar you will forever live in our hearts

Wilbur you're a pig, Yuri beat his ass! (and so they did)

Zombiecello/Ivorycleo popped off! >90% sweepage!

3/8 ships still in line are yuri, but none of them are part of the PURGATORY Brackets!

Goodbye Zaypixel, our only Yuri Loss this round :(

You guys seem to love shipping Ethoslab a lot (bunch of ethogirls) as he is in 35% of the remaining ships

even more art, and art trades! (go ceck out #propagandart and #takin' request)

Round 5 and Purgatory 3:

Yuri lost so much, and is now only represented by Fish Wives :(

Half of the ships still in have a wild etho in them (ethogirls rise up!)

The now no-longer-crackship mogbeans is still thriving and bested the fan-favorite fwhilza!

Seapeekarl fought well, but lost to the ethogirls again

this is the first round where they weren't a >40% sweep! but the choice are only getting harder from here!

[eggsploded]

moar you say.. why then gregor and rodya of coarse....

where would i be without rodigor. where would WE be, without rodigor.

first impression: THE fuckin guy. this dude owns. (insert 50 invasive questions about cockroach anatomy and behavior) i was peeved his roach arm resembled more of a beetle horn than a arm

current impression: when chef greg dropped i got so horny i went to bed lightheaded i still love gregor dearly but my love for him has mellowed like the fondness for a favorite pasta dish.

favorite moment: literally every old fart moment he has. when he forgets names when he berated sinclair for not cleaning his plate when he goes uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh in his dialogue because he doesnt know where hes going with this

story idea: despite his deep frying and boiling during hells chicken i think the bus kinda Likes this guy. gregors a bit of a hot commodity. hes just a fella you can Jive with. a real Stand Up guy. now let him be loved, if obliviously through his own self consciousness. a friendly heathcliff rough slap on the back delays his depressive episode by 15 minutes

fav relationship: oh boy where to start!!!! rodigor. enough on that. meurgreg, not really romantic to me but i like the art of it that is. it revolves around a big fella carrying him under his arm so automatic slay. ive seen a little gregcliff action on the TL but its more of a 'work got me friends with people twice my age like whats uncle greg up to' ordeal to me. now lets get insane. gregsang is incredible to me because yi sang is the only mf on that bus EASIER than gregor. gregor got game? that hes aware of? while stuttering the whole journey? its kind of crazy. i dont actually have a reason why they would even like eachother yet but put rodya in there somewhere to toy with them if you want true crackshipping fun

fav headcanon: hes a little chunky

RODYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my favit

first impression: me furiously searching for her height on the wiki + nodding my head sagely deciding woman with sleepy eyes is peak character design (faust included). i trust her wholeheartedly even if she leads me hand in hand into a woodchipper

current impression: waiting for projmoon to drop more lore on her desperately because i know canto 2 wasnt everything. i feel a disconnect with the fanbase about her because i see rodya characterized sooooo differently than how i think of her. the gambling thing and her effortless confidence for example isnt really questioned like how it is with dons bravado. i see her gambling as an outlet for her complicated views on money. she feels as though being financially 'secure' as the lone survivor as a betrayal to all the deaths she caused. gambling not only aligns with her current im the hottest shit attitude but also is a way for her to not be responsible for money. the hoarding of wealth is what caused her community to starve, why would she want to do something that seems to harm others? shes very self destructive, and feigning as slots star is just one of the ways she forces herself to 'stay in the cold'. ummmmmmmmm anyway im really normal about rodya and think about her a normal amount also her love for decadant food really resonates with me as someone who was poor in childhood because the difference between eating to live and living to eat is Astronomical

favorite moment: shes started branching out and calling other people than greg pet names and it is so exciting. faust has now reached babe status!! good for her!!! also when she infantalizes sinclair its terrible for him but REALLY funny for me when he responds back and reminds her oh right this is a 22 year old man. also her random interjections that are socialist ideology are really funny because they always feel so fucking random and like projmoon is remembering why crime and punishment was written and going drop this bomb ass line itll go so hard guys

story idea: i want her to play poker against yi sang because hes weird and also his poker face is like. genuine and dear adoration for being able to play with his companions because deep in his soul is gardens and butterflies. she would be so freaked out not only because this guy agreed to playing poker but also because he is invasively (he didnt mean it) staring into her SOUL to find solutions

fav relationship: my thoughts are half the bus are in love with gregor and the other half with rodya with cases of overlap. rodya is so epic because shes seemingly got it together to the more deranged sinners but to anyone else its like oh my god this paper mache bitch the former being more faustish the latter being more ryoshuish. faustya is cute because faust initially wanted to absorb more Bad Bitch Strategems and then kinda got a crush and is hardcore malfunctioning also kurokumo ryodion got sumn GOING yall crazy love is love though

fav headcanon: shes actually really short for Lobotomy Corp Backstreets Russia and everyone there is just freakishly tall (see: sonya)

SEMIFINALS: Megaman (Megaman)/Pit (Kid Icarus) VS Huey Duck (Ducktales 2017)/Wakko Warner (Animaniacs)

Propaganda for Megaman/Pit:

This ask, which includes the art used in the bracket image!

Oh my god. This one came immediately to mind. Idk how big the ship is now, but I remember like seeing it everywhere back when Super Smash Bros Ultimate was like popular on Tumblr/Twitter. I think it was originally a crackship cause both of them were in Captain N (a cartoon), but it’s like a serious thing now. Literally all it took was one interaction between them (there’s like dialogue you can get if you do some combination when you play as Pit) which is just Pit gushing about Mega Man. It’s cute. And honestly kind of iconic

#MEGAPIT ?? good for them #go back in time and tell kid me the ship he came up with on a whim would be in a tumblr bracket :'3

#megapit sweep!

Propaganda for Huey Duck/Wakko Warner:

Huey and Wakko are classic opposite attrack characters, while also touches of "you're drawn to people who remind you of your family" thrown in. They're both very autistic coded characters (because their shows are cowards and refuse to say the word) but in opposite ways. Wakko is very outside of the norm where as Huey holds himself to a strict set of rules. While Huey adds a bit of routine to Wakko's life, Wakko encourages Huey to cut back, go outside of his comfort zone at his own pace and also relax a little. Wakko reminds Huey of both his siblings, excitable and dramatic like Dewey, and laid back (compared to his siblings) and mischevious like Louie, where as Huey reminds Wakko of his own siblings. A bit more uptight and bratty like Dot, and intelligent and encouraging like Yakko. They also bring out different sides of each other, Wakko can be gross and messy and Huey somehow finds it charming, and Huey can help Wakko see that he's intelligent and creative in his own ways rather than being outshined by his own siblings. They both also have anger issues, and Wakko would be great at helping Huey to feel his anger rather than always keeping it hidden away. He makes Huey feel seen and heard and taken care of because Huey doesn't have to be the Older BrotherTM around Wakko. Basically just opposites attract autistic kids who help each other come into one another.

#yall need to vote for my baby angels #wakko/huey sweep #please #they deserve it #their shows treated them awfully

#MY BABIES VOTE WAKKO/HUEY YOU LEGALLY HAVE TO ITS MY BIRTHDAY

#HUEY WAKKO SWEEP YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO VOTE THE BABIES

steph for the character meme

how i feel about this character

shes my favorite! my dearest! my darlingest!

all romantic ships with this character

stephcass is my fave but i can enjoy timsteph on occasion and my oh so secret crackship with her is stephcassie

non-romantic otp

timsteph!! i love them as exes and i wish dc played into that more

unpopular opinion about this character

i dont think her death should have been memorialized by bruce like jasons was. it doesn’t make sense for their relationship and its much more interesting that he didn’t.

one thing i wish would happen/had happened in canon

god i have so many. in general, i wish that dc would stop aging her down. i want to see her struggling with juggling med-school and the batgirl mantle some more. i also wish we got to see more of her as robin because that dynamic was soooo good. oh! also, i want to see her show up in a series as a permanent member of the cast and not just as a little cameo in the corner and stand her own <3

Thank you for the ask!!

Ask game

[mamadarama]

since that other anon mentioned catching up on the handcrafted funnies I scrolled all the way to the bottom this morning and have spent the rest of the day working my way back up. app refreshed I am somewhere in the one hundreds. your blog is like an orchard to me. foraging. really big fan of kogareis that have koga being something like a fucked up stepdad or mother to the twins. your services are invaluable. also I’d be remiss not to mention the joy and delight I feel every time there’s an ibarinne don’t know that I even ship them I just think there’s . no I lied I do ship them I just think it’s terrible and funny. okay enough This is a weird ask I’m trying to say thank you. so thank you!

yay thank you and youre welcome!!!!

YES despite being Like That koga is a really good authority figure/role model of sorts for mostly the twins but also all his juniors really, and its just so cute cuz he would never admit that and would get mad if it was pointed out cuz he tries so hard to seem heartless and abrasive but when hes in the position to help someone depending on the person he pretty much always takes it. he just doesn't have it in him to go the full 9 yards with his little facade , it goes against everything he stands for . youre not fooling anyone buddy we know you are a lover at heart

i love ibara and rinnes relationship SO much, i dont ship them but i do ship nikibara and rinniki and whichever of those ships it is the one thing that stays the same is that rinne and ibara will cross paths significantly more often because of niki , and they have such a strained relationship but tolerate each other because they both care about niki and don't want to make him sad, despite the urge to have a screaming match on sight every time theyre in the same room . and it's not that they hate each other or anything they just do not get along at ALL . theyre so passive aggressive with each other you could cut the tension with a knife . this is one of my favorite ship dynamics , i also like madakuro and kurokei for this reason (although its way more extreme in their case . keito is so intimidated by madara its actually hilarious) and also watamada and wataei but that one falls a little more into crackship territory for me, i just think theyre so funny . theyre sitcom material.

If you write fic, is there a ship or au you would like to write for, but haven’t yet?- Aegon/Jace with a fix-it au

If you read fic, what’s a trope or interpretation of your fave that you absolutely can’t stand? Which AU/trope will you read every time?- My fav Lucemond; but i cannot stand making them unnecessarily violent, I mean yea, violence is a major part of them, but i like seeing them heal, slowly, steadily. I also do not like the ones which have Luke being WAYY younger than Aemond than he should be (Canonically, there is a 4 yr gap, and in show canon its a 2 yr-WHICH ARE FINE) Like there are these stuff which have Luke being a 14 yr old attracted to a near 30 Aemond. I want to have the og show or book age gaps remain in their current stages or in their 20s. I also do not really like (but smtms read anyway if it has that good vibe) when Luke is shown to be weak and measlier than Aemond, smtms way too girly. Like bruh, the boy took the others godamn EYE, and HE WAS RAISED BY DAEMON FOR THE BETTER HALF OF HIS LIFE like- asasdfevasd. I prefer them to be matching each others fire and constantly towering their badassery over each other. THAT is a pure enemies to lovers trope.

Is there a house would you fit in with based off your own looks? A house you would fit in with based off your personality/ideals/vibes etc?- House Stark (I have dark hair and eyes and pale complexion and an irredeemable love for winter.

Your Drunk History topic (a character/theory/event/etc)- Burning of Summerhall

Be honest, are you still waiting for TWOW?-- *SOBS*

[beevean]

got bored, decided to make a crappy tier list of my ships with Hector lol

Tier S (OTP, there's rot in my head where brain used to be): Isaactor, Hecula, Hectaly

i am unwell and i have no longer the words to explain why they rotate in my head like rotisserie chicken. just. djfdskfhjsdfhkjsdhfjkhk the them 🥺 all the Parallels and foilery and intricacies and complicated feelings and kinkiness yes hectaly included don't @ me 🥺

Tier A (they make me happy :3): Hevor, Mactor

Hevor is highly underrated for how much food the game gives you lol, those two have a peak Defrosting Ice King dynamic if you ask me. Add the Hector/Alucard parallels for Trevor, and you're sold. Mactor is basically just me and @the-crow-binary smacking our fave dolls together, but I swear it makes sense in its own way, they have more Parallels than it seems lol

Tier B (very close to shipping them, but something blocks me): Hectorcard, Helia

Hectorcard is absolutely peak aesthetic and you can imagine them bonding over Dracula being a bastard lol... but I guess the obstacles for me are that 1) Alucard is a little too asocial and I can't ship him romantically with anyone, and 2) the two are a tad too similar, and I prefer ships where different personalities bounce off each other. As for Helia, well.

Tier C (crackships I would like to put more thought into but for now they're just vibes): Heleon, Joactor

Again, mostly going for the aesthetic and the general "wouldn't it be funny af if those two interacted?" lol. I'd need someone to bounce ideas with before deciding where I stand, but I think they have serious potential. (I also swear there was one Hector/Soma fic in the wild, but I guess it was deleted... Soma is not one of my faves, but that one has also some intrigue for the Soma/Dracula parallels)

Tier D (lol): Hectain, Head/Heath

lol

[pen-guin-writez]

remade chapter

okay so i actually REMADE this chapter because i hated it so much,,, have my crackship chat

plot: mew mew finds herself in a world... a dark world, where she meets a certain goopy puzzlemaker.

content warning(s): there's like one instance of swearing i think but other than that its fine.

character(s): mad mew mew, rouxls kaard, asgore (mentioned), kris (mentioned), frisk (mentioned)

full chapter under the cut !!!

Stupid, Stupid, STUPID!!!

Mew Mew had been stumbling around the Dark Word, looking for hunk-of-a-former-king's kid, what was their name again? Whatever. Whatever! WHATEVER!!! In any case, she was JUST supposed to deliver this weird box he gave her, and now she's HERE??? HOW DID THIS HAPPEN???

In any case, Mew Mew was MAD. Not that- she's ever not mad, but now she's ESPECIALLY mad. She'd been resisting the urge to NOT kill everyone here! She doesn't know how that other slightly smaller kid does it. All these monsters look so PUNCHABLE now.

As she stomps forth, she suddenly hears a thud. Her tail whips upward and she gets into a fighting stance. Then she sees a... white glow? Then she sees...

A navy blue, goopy man in some sort of royal uniform wearing a pirate hat and holding a cutlass???

"Huh? Huh?? HUH??? WHO ARE YOU?!?" She pierces a glare as the man points his cutlass at her.

"Thoust really thought thou could--- wait..." The goopy man speaks in what seems to be a mix of a pirate accent and a Shakespearean accent, "...thou are not the lightners from before! Who are thou??"

Mew Mew, filled with CONFUSION and ANGER, whips the cutlass from out of the man's hand using only her tail, "Excuse ME, I asked you FIRST."

The goopy man seems to be taken slightly off-balance, but he swiftly grabs his cutlass once more, pointing it towards Mew Mew, "I am Rouxls Kaard, Duke of Puzzles! And also Prince Lancer's Lesser Father." He says the last part with a gleam in his eyes, "Now, I have answered thou's question! Who are thou? And what is thou's business here--- wait..."

He unsheathes his cutlass and grabs Mew Mew by her shoulders with what can only be described as stars in his eyes, "Art thou here to try mine ULTIMATE PUZZLE???"

He's practically shaking her by now. But Mew Mew is quick to push him off.

"Hey! Hey!! HEY!!! Don't you know NOT to touch people you BARELY know???", Mew Mew contradicts herself by tapping her finger on his chest judgingly.

And despite that, he seems to look at her, almost apologetically.

"I... apologize, Lady Lightner, miss... I suppose it's just, no one has ever been so PASSIONATE about mine puzzles."

Admittedly, Mew Mew didn't care about this guy, or his puzzles. She wanted to be out of this weird place as fast as she could. But something about not feeling wanted was... oh-so-familiar to her. And it's not too often Mew Mew shows empathy.

"...Well? Well?? WELL??? Are you just gonna STAND THERE, or are you gonna SHOW ME your STUPID PUZZLES?"

And he just stares at her, those same stars in his eyes from before, "Ah... Aha! Ahahaha! AHAHAHAHA!!! YES, MINE LADYE LIGHTNER!!! BEHOLDETH!!!"

Rouxls snaps his fingers, and with that same while glow, a block puzzle (if you can even CALL it a puzzle) appears from thin air.

"HAVE AT THEE!!!"

It was literally just a block and a button. No japes. No high jinks. No low jinks. No danger, capers, or japers. And definitely no form of fun activities to be seen here. Just... a block and a button.

"What... is... THIS?!"

Mew Mew circles the block "puzzle". Rouxls seems to be nervous.

"Ah...- why it is mine ultimate puzzle! As thou requested-"

"THIS ISN'T A PUZZLE!!!" Mew Mew snaps. This'll be so easy! Easy!! EASY!!! There's NO WAY any DUMMY could mess this up! Mew Mew cracks her knuckles, "OHOHOHO!!! Watch this, DUMMY."

She stomps over to the other side of the puzzle and firmly stomps her foot on the button.

...but nothing happens.

"What?"

Mew Mew tries a second time. But nothing happens.

"What??"

Mew Mew tries a THIRD time. But no-

"WHAT???"

She repeatedly jams her foot on the button, only for it to respond with absolutely nothing. Rouxls has that same cheeky grin on his face.

"Is mine ultimate puzzle stumping you, Lady Lightner?" He steps forward with a taunting look on his face.

"JUST SHUT UP!!! I GOT THIS JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE."

After many attempts to defeat the enemy that is this stupid, stupid, STUPID block puzzle, in a fit of anger, Mew Mew stomps away from the puzzle.

"Ah-ha~! It seems mine ULTIMATE PUZZLE has bested thou, ey? GOOD!!! AHAHAHAHAHA-"

...But to Rouxls' surprise, the cat doll runs back, summoning what seems to be some sort of pink-and-white striped wand with a glowing cat head tied to a pink bow at the end. She jams her wand on the button with as much force as she can manage.

"GOD. DAMNIT!!!!!!!"

...do I even need to say it anymore?

Mew Mew grits her teeth, her frail body itching with anger. But Rouxls continues staring at Mew Mew, those same stars in his eyes as he twirls a stand of his silken white hair. His smile became small, but he seemed to be staring at her with such... admiration.

"What are ya STARIN' AT, you DUMMY??????? YOU DUMMY!!!!!!!! YOU--- you..."

Mew Mew let out a drowsy yawn, "SH-SHUT UP!!! I'M NOT TIRED!!! I'M ECASTATIC!!! ENERGIZED!!! CHIPPER!!!" She argues to no one in particular. Mew Mew suddenly steps on her tail, accidentally falling to the ground, somehow already all curled up into a little ball.

"DON'T LOOK AT ME... like... that..." Her eyes slowly trap themselves close and...

Mew Mew is asleep. A confused yet intruiged Rouxls can't help but let out a chuckle.

"Ah... aha... ahahaha... Lady Lightner-" He crouches down, taking Mew Mew's hand into his own, "Let the Duke of Puzzles assist thou..."

The goopy guy drags Mew Mew along, trying to be as gentle as possible as he makes his way towards...

A hip shop.

One thing that has always annoyed me about the fandom is this whole.. standby lesbians thing with rosemary. This has been said so many times before but I'm saying it again cause it's STILL annoying and people still do it so like. . Often they're just sort of. Being there. In the background of other(mostly MLM) ships, serving as this prop. Like when people draw davekat/dirkjake/pepsicola/etc they're always doing something like talking or cuddling or shopping or it's like a shitpost about divorce or something or whatever. But very often when i see rosemary it's like. They're just eerily standing next to one another and smiling. Like almost the entire fandom agrees that it's a good ship, but literally no one actually wishes to understand their personalities or their bond beyond that. It's just. Prim and proper lesbian rep to fill in the gaps. Much of their tags on social media are filled with this very bland fanon version of them, and very often it's accompanied by a different, more characterized ship as the main focus of the post. They're just kinda there to sit still and look pretty. Like I've seen people crackship yaoi just for the sake of yaoi and call it the ship of the century but the same group would tell you that rosemary is boring because uhhhhh smart words and uhh girl read book. The ao3 tag is also atrocious. I need to break my neck to find good content for one of the only canon pairings in HS 💀

sadly this doesn’t just happen in homestuck, this happens in almost every fandom. and then ppl ask why sapphic creators are so LOUD???. someone has to provide the actually accurate awesome stuff… it’s so funny because whenever i read a wlw fic with an mlm side pairing they still do them justice… i feel like a wlw fic author will drop the best interpretations of mlm couples and then an mlm fic writer will just like make the background wlw characters sit there and do nothing most of the time.

but that might just be me tbh idk i don’t keep track of every thing i read. i dont really understand why every single fandom has this weird imbedded mysogeny its like i can’t find any content of ships i like without them being either objectified or simplified yk. i also have beef with the fact that there is NOT!! ENOUGH!! well written PLATONIC dynamics ever like that’s the most fun thing to me like i actually need dave and kanaya duo content desperately.

i feel like a lot of authors lack the crucial understanding that everyone is always going through something. when characters aren’t in a certain scene they’re still doing something in the story. like where is the background tea. where is the nasty deets. things dont always happen in a linear clear perfect way like i think while dave is figuring out what touches are in which quadrants we should have rose and kanaya start gaslighting karkat into believing he is made of earth crab. let rose fake her own death with kanaya and have terezi conduct a case while davekat suck face yk. we’re all a little silly

Rants!

Nightmare Polycule: The cirsed creation of like. 4 people on a niche fandom discord. Polycule consisting of pretty much every adult character in the series. It's awful and somehow the best thing ever. The potential for both crack and angst is unmatched. The divorced parents energy is OFF THE CHARTS. Marcia realizes she is a morosexual and has a crisis about it. Gringe confronts his prejudices by falling for a no-good wizard. Jillie Djinn is Marcia's ex and also dead and also GHOSTING ON HER COUCH which makes it very hard to bring her boyfriends over. Marcellus tries to be dramatic about the fleetingness of human life (except his) and gets made fun of until he confronts his trauma instead. Sarah and Mrs Gringe are having tea and getting a break from the drama.

Nokia/Ami: (spoilers for the game) all the fan stuff ive seen for the game is painfully straight unless its focusing on the two ships where one character is canonically gay n in love with the other (protag of the sequel game with his gay bestie i forgot the name of n yuuko/fei) n ami is usually just drawn on her own BUT theres a lot of canon subtext between nokia n ami mostly as a result of not much actually changing based on if u play as a boy or a girl regardless nokia to some extent likes ami she flirts with her talks about their relationship as if theyre already dating theres a scene that parallels a m/f couple in the game that plays exactly the same between ami n nokia with two other characters saying something along the lines of ah young love during a mandatory side quest ami gets offered an implied sex doll that looks exactly like nokia (weird story there the quest ends with it being heavily implied that the people that take the dolls end up having their organs harvested while their minds are stuck in a digital space called eden unaware that theyre not in the real world) n she has to think about it before declining the offer nokia's character arc is working to become a strong leader n reliable friend cause she wants to stand next to ami instead of relying on her theyre childhood friends but forgot about it ok i need to explain a bit more of the story so like as kids ami n nokia along with three other characters met beta testing for eden n one of them ended up getting eden syndrome to make sure theyre all able to leave safely (theres a thing called eaters that if u get eaten by put u in a coma cause theyre storing the contents of ur brain in them) n a guy who wants to use the eaters to get to the next stage of evolution removes their memories of the incident so years later as teenagers ami nokia n arata (one of the childhood friends important to the story but not to the ship) become friends again n reunite on eden where ami ends up getting eden syndrome but in a funky way cause she was logging out as she got eaten so she has a cyber body that over the course of the game deteriorates n at the end of the game ami basically dies right as everything is being fixed all the victims of eden syndrome are no longer comatose but ami is cause yknow kind of deteriorated too much n it happened right in front of nokia's eyes as she reached out for her hand so they could go home together n nokia cries for the only time in the game cause of that but ive genuinely never seen any fan stuff of them interacting so despite them being teased romantically n built up as being really important to eachother theres nothing not even like nokia with takumi (boy protagonist) im submitting it specifically as nokia/ami just cause i like wlw ships more if u want to do it neutrally protag's surname regardless of gender is aiba sorry if this is incoherent its been like 6 months since ive played the game

13, 16, and 23 for the Triangle Strategy ask game?

Thanks for the ask!!! <3

13. Were there any npcs you wish were recruitable?

Yes!!! Honestly I think any of the npcs would have made for really cool recruitable units, but the main one I always think about is Lyla. I think she would have made for a really cool late-game recruit, and I would have loved to learn more about her backstory and how she came to be a minister in the first place. I also think she'd have a really cool moveset/skillset, similar to Quahaug's but more focused on offensive magic, which I would have loved to play around with

16. Any headcanons you enjoy?

I have so many headcanons!!!! One in particular I'm really attached to is the idea that Maxwell has some degree of dissociative identity disorder. Given his whole thing with putting on the mask when his wife dies, and then the way he completely loses his memory after Avlora almost kills him, my theory is that he genuinely felt like a completely different person after both events, with no memory of who he'd been before. He eventually snaps out of it and returns to being "him," but it still messes with his head a fair amount, and he has the occasional relapse if he's particularly tired or stressed. I don't think he necessarily would have a concept of DID, so he probably would understand it more as "I'm unusually forgetful and I'm occasionally told I act strangely at different moments, but I am sure this is something that happens to every veteran and I simply will not think about it further"

23. Any unpopular opinions?

I think shipping Avlora and Maxwell is probably my most unpopular opinion haha. I do actually really love Avlora/Cordelia as a concept (enemy knight and a princess attempting to retake her kingdom??? sign me UP), but I tend to imagine Avlora as significantly older than Cordelia and not really interested in her that way. I also kinda think Cordelia's main focus would be on Glenbrook and its people for a long time after the war, which would prevent her from getting too invested in a romantic relationship. I do think they'd have a super close platonic/familial relationship though, and I really enjoy thinking about what that'd look like.

And as far as Avlora/Maxwell itself, that was definitely one of those "this was supposed to be a crackship but I am 30k into a slowburn and. I'm not sure it's a crackship anymore" type of ships. The thing that actually got me started on them was that I thought it was really really funny that they stand next to each other in the encampment. Like. Do they talk??? Do they ever mention "oh hey yeah uh. sorry about. you know. trying to kill you" when they're passing by each other??????? And then that snowballed into thinking "if they could get past the initial awkwardness I think they might be good friends" and then THAT snowballed into "hm. actually I think they'd be completely obsessed with each other" as I replayed the game and went through that very first tourney duel + their Whiteholm Bridge duel. Like seriously genuinely what is UP with those duels. why do they talk like that. why are they like that!!!!! there is something deeply wrong with both of them and I love them so much

GOD. THIS IS SO MUCH LONGER THAN TWO FACE. i typed too much and theres too many qs so under the cut it goes

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?

books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or....... i guess comics, these days, but i HATE READING COMICS they juST HAVE MORE COMPELLING FANDOMS. book fandoms are PUNY nad everyone is STUPID. youd think actual literary fandoms would have reading comprehension and understanding of literary critique but no!!!!!!!!!!!!! its literally my eternal fuckign struggle. somehow comic fandoms hit the perfect medium between compelling, readable content and the enthusiasm of cartoon fans without the childishness of cartoon fans

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?

this isnt really a thing i do. the only time i associate characters w songs is my own ocs. barbies theme is miltons tower from the what remains of edith finch soundtrack!

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

i have also never really been one to project myself into stories. its just not how i consume media. i think sollux and rose already closely resemble the kinds of friends i make, so maybe them?

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?

(freddy fazbear vc) vanessa.... ive done things, im not proud of.

i dont even know if i want to answer this question bc its so fucking humiliating LKJSNDLFSDNFSDF the truth is yes. i am solely responsible for. a lot. particularly in the pjo fandom. i created several crackships ground up all on my own way back in 2014 and developed a following for them and i. dont wantto tell you what those ships were. LSKJDFNSLDJNSDFSDDF ive also pioneered many ship tags for other fandoms and i ship a lot of rarepairs and stuff but i dont think im RESPONSIBLE for them?? in that some ppl already were into them/talking abotu them or tht theyre still not popular (augh. to the ones that became popular) but i AM liTERALLY responsible for some crack shit in the pjo fandom and its. it haunts me sometimes. i dont want to talk about it. IF YOU REMEMBER WHAT I DID NO YOU DONT

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

this is so vague. my headcanons are shifting and nebulous and aus are my constant companion in everything, but uhhhhhhghhusjkdjnsdg i think. roxy writes the same way dave draws comics. its extremely memey and meta and self aware and largely just for the personal lolz, and were all doing her a disservice by pretending her writing looks like roses, when in reality dirk is probably the one whod make comics the way rose makes books (which is probably why he doesnt make comics). its more of that thing where roxy and dave are the same and rose and dirk are the same ykwim. well YOU dont corvus but im sure someone else does

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?

jason takes after bruce in terms of like. adopting entirely too many kids. he broods

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

harvey is a heartwrenching character when written well, with a complicated view of morality, heartbreaking ties to our main hero, and a lot of internal conflict. something about such a hopeful character deadset on making a different in the system becoming a victim of it, and the potential he has as a vehicle for critiquing the law.

percy is my favorite character from pjo bc it was the very first time in my life i ever read a book and saw myself in it. hes aggressive, impulsive, and rebellious, he fidgets and has a hard time standing still, he acts on emotion without always thinking it through, he gets in trouble in school and hands his mom a murder weapon to kill his stepdad, hes just... hes a lot of the things ive always gotten in trouble for, things i couldnt help being, and hes a hero. he means everything to me.

vriska, i will maintain until the day i die, is one of the best homestuck characters- maybe just characters?- ever written. shes dramatic, shes impulsive, shes manipulative and mean and creative, and shes just so messy about it. shes a mean girl in a way that feels real, where her trauma impacts and shapes her as a person, and shes complex, with warring wants, and people she cares about, and dreams, and shes so messy. shes rough and rude and shes doing what SHE wants to, being a version of herself that feels right to HER, rather than some caricature of the hot badass evil lady. shes thirteen!! and she FEELS thirteen. shes a thirteen year old weird girl who is kind of an asshole, and she means literally fucking everything to me. shes a pirate!!!!! shes a swashbuckling badass dressing up in her larping outfit and yelling at her friends on the playground to swab the deck and she is the bestest ever, the end.

i didnt mean for each one of these to be longer than the last but here we are.

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

i hate jdedave peace and love it just feels weird as hell to me. dave, for the most part, is hyper respectful of other peoples choices and boundaries but when it comes to jade hes always trying to mke choices for her, to protect her, and it gets to the point where even jade points out how much it bugs her. jades crush on dave also seems to come from a place of misunderstanding to me, admiring a lot of the parts of himself that he exaggerates and pretends to care about as a result of trauma. it always felt like a kid crush that they shouldve grown out of with time. dave also just sort of seems to... go along with whatever romantic relationships people push him into at that age, rolling with whoever flirts with him jsut bc hes trying to maintain the image of a player, so its really hard to take him seriously any time he hits on someone?

that is just my interpretation of it tho

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

well. i havent finished my reread of homestuck, so that feels difficult to comment on just yet, bc im sure ill have a different opinion when i do finish it. no one in dc gets character arc bc theyre all just undone immediately, so thats like. yeah. and in pjo the arcs are pretty weak bc 1) kids books and 2) RICK UNDOES THEM ALL. AUGH. regardless of all of this, i am going to say jason grace. he had a lot of development in like the last two hoo books, or maybe just like.... hints of how he couldve developed? promise? which rick immediately set fire to in toa when he killed him, but fUCKING WHATEVER. UGH.

anyway actually tho eleanor from the good place. bisexual icon. queen. probably one of the best character arcs of all time. the episode w her mom has some of the most powerful fucking dialogue ever and i think about it. all the time. i should rewatch the good place.....

[tramon81]

OK my Deltarune Theory for Chapter 3. My prediction is that it is wrong lol.

My crackship theory that totally there's no way to happen is this. The main theme of the 3rd Dark world is "something to hide" and "admitting to one's mistakes".

There's several things here, let's start with the theme, the aesthetic one, I think it's safe to assume that it's going to be "different channels you can find on TV", it's not necessarily room specific since most of Cyberworld was computer based even if there were things such as tables books and stuff, altough there will be areas that will be similar to rooms in the house that fit within the theme, Kitchen Cooking show, Bathroom Soap Opera... But thanks to the sweepstakes we know that some sort of mafia theme will also be present.

Mafia are a form of criminal activity, they commit morally questionable acts that go against the law. Now need I remind you what legal force has been called over to the Dremurr Residence that is on its way to possibly enter it? The Police. Wether it's Undyne, Napstablook or potentially Both, we have a main point of conflict, the cops will be against whatever these goobers and the main showrunner of this place have going on.

But also, Undyne knows Susie and has a track record of not a very good view on her (also she is desperate for actual crminals to bring to justice). Seeig as the evidence she has knowledge of, the tyres, the open door and now Susie is here on what was first the Dremurr residence? Undyne will give chase, however there will come a point when someone comes to defend her...

Toriel, seeing this adult antagonizing Susie steps in, creating the main conflict of ideals, Toriel believes Susie is innocent and Undyne believes her to be Guilty of everything going on, all the while the main showrunner is using this to their advantage to so SOMETHING that idk will be.

The main "BAD GUY" is not something i'd venture much to say off of, but I think there's a strong case to be made for them to be a News Reporter. The news are the channel most tied to REALITY, and for a DARKNER, that means a stronger connection to the LIGHT WORLD as in, knowing the most of WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE WORLD. Idk what the deal or motivation will be, but i think they will be making a whole like, media manipulation of the conflict between these three, making it all really hard for them to talk things out. Also, blackmail for Kris, dunno what the Boss wants in the grand scheme of things, the TV was PLUGGED IN when KRIS MADE THE FOUNTAIN, so I think they may just KNOW for sure.

But the most important aspect of all this I think Susie will think the Boss dude is talking about her BULLYING OF KRIS, this will be a Susie development chapter again, she will be antagonized like in the Card Kingdom but this time after having BECOME GOOD. Not only that but, Toriel standing up for her will have Susie feel guilty, the mother of the kid she basically attempted to bully is standing up for her, not even knowing of what she said to Kris on the Apple dialogue or the locker scene.

Eventually, it will be revealed to Toriel and things will go awry since it is known that she has a strong sense of right and wrong, justice and a powerful maternal instinct, and idk from this point really...

Altough an addendum here, we have talked about guilt and doing something wrong but, there is one character that is related to this family that has it in a way darker tone, a darker tone fiting of a Secret Boss. Yes, one way or the other, the next in line in the Dark Crystal saga is related to Asgore and the reason that he was kicked from the force, his marriage and most of his happiness. A guilt derived from something big. The flowers are a good contender for this but I dunno, maybe a sheriff since crime, police, and guilt go hand in hand.

That's all, I'm wrong as all hell tho lol
