You know who Tall Jazz should train with? Big Barda. Let Scott and Jason simp together

YES

THIS

ALL OF THIS!!!

bro Big Barda is amazing. For those who don’t know: she used to be a Female Fury for Granny Goodness, she’s a fucking badass. Angry, strong, tall, collected, very pretty, master fighter, TALL, and is very gung ho about battle. She’s also Scott Free’s Wife (Mister Miracle), and they’re the cutest canon couple in the MCU.

Let me present to you some big Barda art from DC:

She always chooses fighting before words but will stand her ground in an argument if need be. She is an extremely strong woman emotionally and physically and she could cut me in half and I’d thank her. She’s so hot. (Canonically Scott and herself do bondage because Scott is an escape artist and there’s just something poetic about a man who can escape anything willing himself to be in a situation where he’s trapped but doesn’t want to escape.)

Both Big Barda and Mister Miracle have to fight a never ending war against the armies of Apokolips. They’re so used to blood and gore and killing that it’s simply a part of their life.

On that note:

Big Barda being roughly as tall as Jazz (Barda is 7ft tall btw) and they both relate to the experience of being extremely tall in a world that’s not built for things their height. They go to a specialized meta Gym, mostly cause Scott and Barda can lift FAR more than the average person ever could.

Barda has limitless strength. She can lift 100-1,000 tons but once was recorded to lift nine million tons. That’s fucking insane. They’ll need specialized training equipment. A specialty gym in Metropolis is perfect for their needs. (They can mother box boom tube anywhere they want so it’s not too bad of a journey)

That’s where they meet Jazz and Jason. They zeta tube over to the gym because Jazz can lift far more than the average person as well. Unsure the extent it would be though.

Jazz helps Barda lift some like 1,000lbs plates and instantly they start chatting and become fast friends.

The second Jazz hears about what Scott can do, she asks for him to give her and Jason lessons. Scott can tell that his wife approves of the two so he accepts.

Man tho, Jason and Scott just tipsy as hell waxing on and on to each other about how much they love their significant other really is sweet. Scott talks about how hot it was when Barda single-handedly fought a battalion of parademons. Jason talks about how pretty Jazz is when he teaches her how to cook, all of that fun stuff.

i'm holding this au close to my heart that is adorable shsjdjsjdh zhongrin in a nutshell LMAO now i'm wondering what ayalia's (what is your ship name??????) dynamics is. hmmmmmm..... suave bf x hopelessly-in-love gf? lol

where would ayato be in this hp au.... i'm seeing prefect!ayato helping a junior!reader and a romance blossoming from there hehe maybe you're friends with ayaka and he sees you struggling to write your essay in the library, so he comes over to help, and the rest is history? throw in a dash of "kamisato clan is one of the revered noble purebloods in the wizarding world" for the conflict and a dash of nobleman!au into the mix? :D

🎤 *taps mic* *clears throat* yes i feel very accomplished at the great deed that i have done and i would first and foremost thank my husband for his neverending support- /j the theme is super pretty and calming! matches ayato perfectly with his elegance and all <3

ehehe thanks~ and yea i hope so too hskdjsjf my luck with 50/50 are so bad. itto was the only one who's super kind and came home early sobs

omg...... slow dancing with zhongli.... foreheads touching…. his arms on your waist and yours around his neck….. with jazz music in the background...... i....... i am weAK...........

..... does rex incognito count as liyue music? /is bonked/ gosh that is a HARD choice to make. liyue's music is just *chefs kiss* i adore the battle themes (gallant challenge & rapid as wildfires) bc they're so energetic (the guzheng(?) omgggg) and gets you going "!!! time to be badass !!!".... wangshu inn ost has a special place in my heart bc the first time i came to liyue that's the first area that really made me go "oh my god WHAT????".... but i think my favorite of all has to be "liyue" hahah it's just. idk. there's just something about it. i'm not the type to hum along a song but man. i swear you can put almost any of the liyue ost on and i'll automatically hum along!!

oh oh and i found this orchestral mix of zhongli and raiden's theme and it's soooo gooooooood!!!

speaking of al haitham.... i just met him in game and i-uh-i might be simping. hard. i mean. gosh. 😳🫣🙈❤️💗 his eyes….. his voice..... and those….. muscles….. *lays on floor and kicks feet giddily*

the new dendro elemental reactions are so fun!! i tried to switch up some artifacts for zhongli yesterday to bump up his crit + geo dmg, and i tried him as dps along with lumine, xingqiu, and shinobu to do the combat quests of the current event. possible second team mayhaps hehe and when al haitham is released i can replace lumine with him-

i mean he could just rotate it so it goes over his feet & head and that should be good?? zhongli cmon be creative-

invitation to a marriage 🤣 random brainrot when it comes to marriage scenario: imagine ayato in fully decked suits or traditional japanese kimono extending his hand towards you, smile so gentle and his eyes a little (juuuust a little) glassy because of how overjoyed he is to finally be able to marry you <3

t-rex machine bad. gotcha. imma avoid at all cost : )

i can imagine you seeing that coming in and be like "who are you and who hurt you" lol skdjlsdjlsjf i just saw that omg that's adorable wahhhhh i'm so so glad you had fun with that request!!! NO BUT THAT'S THE CHARM SEE they're always so composed and seems unshakeable..... so to see them suffer bc of you? shows how important you are to them <3 cut their last thread of sanity and make them b r e a k hehe <3

AND YES DO IT WITH THE TERRORSHROOM LMAO

ps. ☆ starlight anon, dear, i am watching and waiting :D

THERE'S SM AYATO BRAINROTS IN THIS ASK, OML. rin jie, i think you're trying to assassinate me... so i'm just going to 🕳️🚶 real quick. (/lh)

but you are not wrong !! ayalia is defined by the suave bf x hopelessly-in-love gf + simp who doesn't hide their love x popular and cool who has a soft spot, maybe??? >:)

AND PREFECT!AYATO. how dare you chip in that bit of pureblood nobleman!ayato in this au, i will scream. (/pos)

but he'd totally lean over your shoulder with a smile as you scribble away at your notes in the library — to see what you're working on and partially to see the way you wince so adorably in surprise. killing two birds with one stone is a form of fun a man like ayato can't refute. he'd speak to you with such composed cadence, knowing that each word he says would entice you to fall deeper and deeper for him. but ayato can't say that he doesn't expect it to backfire on him... after all, you're just the cutest little thing, how can he not fall for you in return? ha, perhaps, this would count as killing two birds with one stone too; except he's one of the birds yet also the one throwing the stone, and he doesn't mind.

(if prefect!ayato ever does that to me, i'd dig my own grave by accidentally headbutting him like an idiot from shock LMAODOAO — okay, so maybe, ayalia is also cool and popular who does charming tricks x flustered clumsy simp who accidentally ruins said tricks /j)

is it finally time for us to become the sorting hat for genshin characters??? 🔍 hm, what do you think ayato's and your main trio's hogwarts house would be??? 👀 speaking of, i previously assigned heizou as a slytherin but after some more thought, i think he'd be a gryffindor instead! free spirit, courage, chivalry, some recklessness which sounds a lot like our detective here.

as for ayato, i actually keep getting hufflepuff vibes from him, vv surprisingly??? he may be cunning and a bit of a rascal, but i don't think he is the type to desire getting ahead thru questionable means nor are his ambitions exceptionally grand like a slytherin's; ayato seems to lean more towards being a fair and responsible leader to me, which just screams hufflepuff. gryffindor is out of the question because he lacks recklessness and that free spirit <//3 i'm vv curious abt what you'd think! which house would you assign him, rin jie??? >:)

OFC, IT'D BE REX INCOGNITO, OFC IT WOULD. and to be completely honest??? vv valid. why does the beatdrop go so hard like why am i suddenly floating to celestia (/j) AND OML, THE ORCHESTRAL VER FT. RAIDEN'S THEME, HELLO??? TYSM FOR SHARING <3 atp, i am ascending beyond celestia and i do not complain. orchestral versions are another level of beauty, i sweaaaar 😭

the alhaitham wave is dawning on you... it seems he has reserved a spot in your future pull list! manifesting for us both >:) his voice is super duper calming, helppppp. and i find his character interesting too because he's so serious and frigid like loosening up is a whole crime for him or smth, but we still love him either way! (/j) i hope you're having fun with the bloom and superblooms reactions !! AND THE DPS ZHONGLI !! HOW IS THE OLD MAN FARING !! sorry, xiao, we gotta try smth new so, you are now permitted to get some rest fjkskdke <//3

WEDDING DAY WITH AYATODKORWO. the corners of his eyes dampen a little because he has called you his multiple times before, but why does today feel so different? ah, he sounds a little sappy there; ayato assures you that it's because your beauty just astounds him and that is not a lie. but the existence of today is a confirmation the commissioner never knows he would've needed; that you are his and he is yours. how trivial of him to tear up over something he already knows, especially in front of a crowd... but perhaps, he'll grant himself this brief moment of silliness just for today.

if i open up requests again in the future, idk what sort of pain i should be expecting from you. (/j) NOOOO, as someone who falls for the composed ones, that is my curse. but what do you have to say about yourself, rin jie??? last time i checked, zhongli, kazuha, and xiao are all people with quite the composure, hMMM?? 🤨 why do i have to suffer alone (/j) but those three already had their broken in kiss me with your eyes closed as per your request, you angst consumer. <//3

Viego Rant (villainy and character design and tragedy and all that jazz)

Introduction The more I think about Viego, League of Legends’ newest character, the more enamored I am with him as a villain (unrelated to his general sexiness, though that does tie in with what makes him such a good villain).

I’ve seen a lot of complaints about his design. The Ruined King, one of the greatest threats in Runeterra, the progenitor of the Shadow Isles, the lord of the undead, is finally released as a playable champion and he looks like this:

People were expecting another Mordekaiser (who is similarly an undead king with a ghost army), a lich-tyrant clad in iron, decayed flesh peeling from an aged face. What we got was an angsty anime prettyboy, and it was infinitely better than the alternatives. 

Lore Viego isn’t a conquering king. While his combat abilities are indeed badass, his personality is far from it. He’s a whiny brat and that’s incredible. He isn’t bent on world domination. His character arc revolves around just how human, how fallible he really is. For those unfamiliar with his lore, I’ll paraphrase it here:

Viego was the second son of a great king. Overshadowed by his brother and with no expectations upon him and near-limitless wealth, he wandered around being an idiot fuckboy for the vast majority of his formative years. Disaster struck when his brother died in an accident, and Viego took the throne with no training, no experience, and no desire to be king. He was a shitty king. The worst king. Just all-around apathetic. Gave zero shits. Can you blame him? It’s a lot of responsibility to be thrust upon someone who isn’t much more than a child, and with no preparation. He didn’t care about anything, that is, until he met Isolde. She was a poor seamstress, but he fell in love with her upon their first meeting. Together they ruled the country but it was really just them staring longingly into each others’ eyes. His allies were kinda fucking pissed about that, and one day an assassin came from Viego. The assassin fucked up and stabbed Isolde instead, and the poison on the blade made her fall gravely ill. As she lay in her bed, slowly dying, Viego went mad seeking a cure. He ravaged the land seeking any knowledge that might help, pouring all of his money into finding an antidote. He failed. As a last resort, he brought Isolde’s body to the Blessed Isles, a place rumored to be able to resurrect the dead. It worked, to an extent. Isolde’s wraith, confused, afraid, and angry at being ripped from the peace of death, unthinkingly stabbed Viego in the chest with his own magic sword, creating basically a magic nuke that turned the Blessed Isles into the domain of the undead. Viego resurrected as the king of the Shadow Isles some time later, having totally forgotten that Isolde killed him. He controls a big-ass ghost army, could probably beat up any living thing in a fight, and has evil ghost magic. Now this stupid simp wants his wife back and if he has to kill every living thing on Runeterra, well, anything for his queen. He’s even a tier 3 sub to her Twitch.

Music His musical theme isn’t some heavy metal anthem or intense cinematic piece (unlike the Pentakill song named after his sword, Blade of the Ruined King). It’s mostly sad and slow, almost sinister, with a piano and a music box. It has its loud moments featuring violins and choral bits like any villainous music, but the song is mostly subtle. It is a banger though.

In the comments section of this video, someone pointed out that the music reflects his story from beginning to end:

Everything about this champion is so well done. Riot Games really outdid themselves on this one. Bravo, encore please.

Motivation While the Mordekaiser circlejerkers on r/LeagueofLegends won’t shut the fuck up about how powerful Mordekaiser is, Viego is the better villain. Mordekaiser may be a bigger threat to all life on Runeterra, but Viego is a better character. (There’s a guy on my League discord server who won’t shut up about Mordekaiser so forgive me for being pissed at Morde stans).

Mordekaiser is motivated by a desire for control, to rule the world. Viego is motivated by obsession and misplaced love. There aren’t a lot of Mordekaisers on Earth. Supervillains are rare in real life. But Viego’s motivations are a lot closer to home. People in positions of power that they don’t deserve can do a lot of harm (for example: Trump).

He’s a grieving husband who was never prepared to deal with anything more difficult than choosing what wine to drink with dinner, who is trying to get his wife back because the world had always complied to his every whim. He’s a funky mix between a truly hopeless romantic and a spoiled brat throwing a temper tantrum.

Obsession is scary. It’s a real-world emotional state that’s been the cause of a lot of murders over mankind’s history. In contrast, Mordekaiser’s cartoonish Genghis Khan XXL schtick isn’t something that we encounter often. Of course a superpowered ultradictator would be worse for the world, but if you give ultimate power to a random person, you’re more likely to get someone like Tighten from Megamind. Or, more relevantly, Viego.

Design His design is sexy and stupid, just like him. He wears an open shirt into battle and wields his sword like an idiot (I’ve seen all the rants about how that’s not how that sword is meant to be used) because he was never really a warrior. Even at his most violent, right before the end of his mortal life, he didn’t do much combat himself, leaving his military endeavors to his underlings. Even now that he’s essentially a god, he still has a colossal wraith army that causes far more devastation than he ever could personally.

Despite his slim build (by League of Legends standards), he easily wields his colossal sword because of the strength of his state of undeath. Like his political power when he was alive, his posthumous magical and physical powers were never something he sought out, they were just given to him by circumstance.

The big cool-ass triangle hole in his chest where Isolde stabbed him is the source of the Black Mist, which is evil ghost mist that ebbs and flows from the Shadow Isles, bringing with it hordes of the undead. The sadder Viego is, the more Mist he creates. Poetically, his invasion of the world is inspired by his sorrow at his wife’s death and enabled by his wife’s reluctance to return to him. His story is perfectly reflected by his design.

Isolde Isolde’s spirit took up residence inside a young Senna (who’s another League champion, not particularly important here). This led to some Black Mist-related shenanigans and at least for the time being, Senna uses Isolde’s power to fight off the servants of Viego which threaten all life on Runeterra.

It seems pretty clear that whatever love Isolde felt for Viego is gone by now. Whether or not she ever loved him or was just unable to say no to the king is up for debate, but I’d like to believe there was something there. In my opinion, Viego’s story hits harder if they really were a great couple at first, torn apart by circumstance and obsession.

Much like the Maiden of the Woods in that one comic that circulates around here, to whom the knight gave his heart and she was like “yo what the fuck i literally never asked you to do this,” Viego went a little too far in trying to save her. They may have once been happy, but the Ruined King ruined his own life, too.

Unless Isolde is a lot less morally decent than we’ve been led to believe, I doubt she can forgive all the massacring that her husband’s been doing lately. In the recent cinematic, she was shown to be pretty anti-Viego. Maybe she’ll get a bastardization arc, but it certainly seems unlikely.

All of Season 2021 is based around Viego, Isolde, and the Shadow Isles, so we’ll just have to see what comes next. It’s possible that we’ll get Isolde as a playable champion, which should clear a lot of things up.

Final Thoughts Unlike so many villains, he’s not fueled by rage or hatred, but rather by sorrow. He’s stuck in his past, unable to move on. He regrets the actions of his life but is set on his course now. The sunk-cost fallacy comes into play here; he’s put so much time and effort and blood into bringing back Isolde, that turning away from it would feel to him like an insult, not only to her but to the innocent lives he’s taken in her name.

His tale is a tragedy, a love story gone horrifically wrong. Viego has suffered throughout his thousand-year life. Despite this, he’s undoubtedly the villain. His permanent death would be a net positive for the world. In has rage and grief he’s destroyed multiple civilizations, and will burn down the world to get Isolde back.

His heart may be in the wrong place, but it’s in a very human place. I don’t think he’ll get the ending he’s looking for, but I hope he finds some closure in the end.

slam dunks this in here🎰 also lmk if u need a list of my muses, cries, i know there's a lot

this randomized ships meme. / not accepting. | @gildedscripture

lowkey this took two days, i’m not going to do this again adgjdfgfd. anygays, here are the candidates:

gildedscripture:

lisa

nemesis

ai

misa

howl

khrysophos:

Alice Longbottom.

Rheanys III Targaryen.

Harshaw.

Nikolai Lantsov.

Theodore Nott.

lisa & alice: gryffindor kids. alice is, as a matter of fact, from germany, so all i’m saying is exactly what i’m saying here. she was born in germany, went to durmstrang for a short period of time, but after her father died, her mother moved back to england and she was sorted into gryffindor belatedly. they could at the very least be friends based on having that in common, OR, you know, be a powercouple, where alice is that badass auror, and lisa… well i don’t know what she does in hp context, but we can talk about it :)))

lisa & rhaenys: honestly dunno where to start. rhaenys is my dornish dragon daughter with a determination to get back her father’s throne from the usurper. she survived the sacking of king’s landing because she was whisked away by someone. she grew up in dorne, raised by her uncles. we can totally talk about other verses! i think the two of them would totally get along because they’re both kind, easy to befriend, readily smiling, that kinda vibe? rhaenys can be ambitious and driven but she would never be unkind for no reason --- she’s much too smart to make enemies like that, anyway.

lisa & harshaw: oh man. harshaw is a silly one. he’s an etherealki, basically he controls fire. bit of a pyromaniac, but he won’t burn anyone. he just really likes fire. has a pet cat. don’t think he’d like all the dogs she has. i don’t know how well she’d handle his unusual actions? he’s not a bad guy, though. can be relied on. does she need a firemaker of sorts? he’s a simper. he’d probably simp for her, easily. powerful women make his dick inflate a little. i dunno what else to tell you.

lisa & nikolai: so? honestly? it could be either/or. nikolai OOZES confidence, like. you haven’t seen a man ooze confidence the way nik does. he’s prince-hiding-as-privateer in his own world, and in hp he is a ravenclaw who leads a guerilla movement against death eaters that’s a little different than the order. he’ll do anything for his people, really. he’d try to get into her good books, especially if she could help him in his endeavors, but he’s not cunning or underhanded about it. i think his attitude could amuse her? business partners?

lisa & theo: see. theo is… he’s a loner. when you get on his turf and he doesn’t want you there, be prepared for a volley of sarcasm or just plain closed-offness. he struggles with his asexuality and how to put it into words, and as a result is hard to befriend. his type of kindness is a sort of aloof kind. it’s simple and without comment. making sure you drink by placing a waterbottle in front of you, reminding you to take your meds, that kind of stuff. he likes kind people, so lisa would probably at the very least not bother him. friendship-wise, something sibling-y could definitely bloom if given the time and energy.

nemesis & alice: unlikely gryff/slytherin friendships? nemesis is technically older than alice, so there’s that. gosh idk where to go with them. pls help me out.

nemesis & rhaenys: uhm….. slytherin friendships! or wink-wonk-yness. they would probably get along? rhaenys is very outspoken, but to the people she thinks she can trust. nemesis would probably be one of them? could prove interesting.

nemesis & harshaw: he wants to know if she wants to pet his cat. her name is oncat. the cat is cute. maybe next up they can advance to her petting him? on his head!!!! i have no idea. he’s a bit of an oddball, say luna but with a… love for fire. 

nemesis & nikolai: nik will be sweet to her, esp if she isn’t too deeply stuck in pureblood ideals. he’s the type of person that tolerates the “nobility” bc he needs them, being prince in his own verse, but he’s very much a forger of his own path, a man of the people, and yeah… 

nemesis & theo: i mean, does she want a silent but solid presence at her side? theo’s her man. he wouldn’t bother her i suppose. also nemesis being way older i suppose would mean a different dynamic, unless we’re talking aus here? i dunno. god i’m shit at this.

ai & alice: do i think alice would contact ai for some vengeance, the cost being her own soul? hell yeah! send voldemort to hell, ai, the world will be better off. alice would be a little intimidated, but she’s a lioness so she wouldn’t let it show afgfdgd. 

ai & rhaenys: rhaenys would try to figure out a way to have ai’s type of vengeance without it costing her soul. wouldn’t work, i assume, but not for lack of her trying. they’d get along, i think? rhaenys would be kind to her.

ai & harshaw: harshaw saw she can throw fireballs and they’re instantly best friends. that’s just the way it is now. they’re pals, besties, a team. she throws the fireballs, he’ll help them along. oh hey, ai, did you know he has a cat? lmao.

ai & nikolai: first of, that rhymes. i think nikolai would find her very interesting, but wouldn’t be too interested in her services, mostly bc he’s got more than one person in his way in his verse and to sell his soul for just one when he can figure out other means to thwart them… seems useless to him.

ai & theo: they’re both closed-off people. i suppose they could get along in silent companionship. he’d be scared of her, tbh, if he knew what she was/what she does, but still, silent solidarity is a strong motivator? 

misa & alice: gryffindors! GRYFFS! alice wants to protect her tbh. she’s so sweet! i wonder if alice knows better than to see her as just dumb. that it’s an act of sorts. in any case, alice can be the butch-esque girlfriend misa is looking for, is all i’m saying.

misa & rhaenys: rhaenys would… tolerate misa, but the dumb act is lowkey getting on her nerves. still, so long as she’s not opposing rhaenys in any way, shape or form, all is good! so… so yeah, that’s the tea here. sip sip.

misa & harshaw: they’re both edgy. a little oddball-ish. does she want to see his cat? god i need to stop with that joke. anyway! uhm. they can get up to some shenanigans. he thinks she’s sweet, and cute. not his type but that sentiment goes both ways so there’s that. 

misa & nikolai: nik doesn’t have it in him to be mean to her. he’s observant enough to have a guess that she might not be so airheaded as she pretends to be, and he admires her for that. i don’t know how well they’d get along, nikolai is always busy, learning, helping. could prove to be interesting, i suppose? 

misa & theo: theo probably thinks misa is a little annoying, he doesn’t really know how to talk to her without feeling like it’s kind of empty. this could change, though, they could learn to get along. i feel like it’d take a lot of time and a lot of patience, perhaps an incident that would help them understand each other a little better, that kind of jazz. 

howl & alice: see i feel like this could either be the greatest success or the biggest disaster. howl being flamboyant versus alice who is straightforward and sassy, either they hit it off immediately or they are arguing the entire time. alice definitely wouldn’t put up with some bs, being upfront with him, but maybe he needs that?

howl & rhaenys: she’s fascinated by his magic, thinks he’s a little extra but it makes her laugh? so in a sense, that couldn’t be bad. since she’s a targ, she’s fireproof? that’s her trick. hope he likes it. oh and she has a special bond with dragons, maybe he thinks that cool, too. teach her some magic, she wants to know. for innocent reasons, no like… overthrowing usurpers, no no!

howl & harshaw: a wizard with a fire-demon versus an etherealki with a fire-obsession? what could go wrong tbh. howl will have to put up with the cat but i’m sure he’ll manage. i think they’d get along? harshaw is odd enough to catch howl off guard every now and again. maybe do keep an eye on him, though. wouldn’t want him to accidentally set a fire.

howl & nikolai: they’re both flamboyant and blonde, i feel like they might as well be the same person, except one is a wizard and the other is a prince. nik isn’t as dramatic, but he’s still kind of extra. thinks very highly of himself, always has a comeback, a backup plan. i have no idea what kind of relationship can come from this, but i feel like they’d get along, somehow. just bc they’re so similar. they could potentially trip over the fact that nik is very duty-oriented and howl avoids active duty? or the draft, rather.

howl & theo: if howl can drag theo out from behind his walls, all the power to howl tbh. either i imagine howl will be frustrated at the lack of response to his antics, or he’ll try harder? hope howl likes getting dragged fgdgd. maybe they’ll drag each other. i’d pay money for this tbh.
