girl (gender neutral) help I'm only an episode or two away from the last couple of Gintama arcs and I'm not ready

Hiii!!!! it's my first time asking something, soo...

I've been thinking about it for a long time. What if, instead of M.C/Firefly…the one who ends up in the middle of the woods is Vida??? like, while searching for Laika. LIKE, WOULD VIDA AND MYCHAEL BE FRIENDS??? WOULD MYCHAEL FALL FOR THEM LIKE HE DID FOR M.C/FIREFLY??

it's so cool to think about it, sorry 😞

(btw, sorry if i wrote something wrong, english is not my first language.)

Ooh, now this is a fun ask! I had someone ask something similar in the past but can't seem to find it, but overall if it was Vida they'd be a bit more cowardly and skeptical towards Mychael, which in turn will cause Mychael to be cautious as well. This matches a previous ask (No. 3) I've answered before.

TLDR; they both would be wary of each other and not interact for long before Mychael sends them home. Long answer below:

Where Firefly was a bit more accepting with Mychael's quirks, Vida is a bit more closed off with strangers (they rarely have good experiences with people approaching them first). They wouldn't accept Mychael's excuses as easily for how he looks and raises his caution to the point he'd use his ability to lower their guard just to make it through the first night.

I highly doubt he'd even reveal his eyes to Vida upon a first meeting.

So it'd be closer to a typical interaction with Mychael and other lost folks where Mychael fixes them up and sends them home, unlike treating them to dinner like they did with Firefly, who he took a liking to.

If they were to be friends, I think they'd really get along though! They just have to overcome that first hurdle of realizing they're safe with each other hahaha.

Norm family lore drop!!

so for Avatar fans who don't already know, Kelutral's "Omaticon" online convention (streamed on their Twitch channel) is going on this weekend, and the kickoff panel earlier this evening featured franchise loremaster Josh Izzo.

Some may remember this little panel in the High Ground, featuring Norm with a Na'vi child addressing him as "Daddy":

In the Visual Dictionary, there's also a very brief mention that Tuk has a best friend named Popiti.

...so here's the fun bit:

Izzo confirmed that this "Popiti" is in fact Norm's kid!!

Apparently Popiti also has a sibling, and her mother/Norm's mate is from the Olangi clan (which makes sense given that the Visual Dictionary mentions Norm having a bunch of Olangi trinkets).

ngl I love this lore drop but now I have so many more questions also!! How old is Popiti (I assume close to Tuk's age since they're best friends but there's still some wiggle room there so)? Is her sibling older or younger and what's his/her name? If they're Norm's biological kids, do either of them have avatar features like Kiri and Lo'ak? What's Norm's wife's name, what's their story? Norm didn't get his consciousness permanently transferred like Jake did, so how does him switching between two bodies affect things? PLZ I NEED TO KNOW

@theoptimistictabby thought you'd be interested in this one ;)

btw let it be known that I speculated all these things like two years ago, my mind is still reeling that what I thought was merely wild wishful-thinking speculation at the time turned out to be CANON lol

Dive to the Heart - Amaurot

[strange-aeons]

hello mr strange i may or may not have hacked youtube and am currently watching an unlisted upload of your tumblr live video. am i gonna get 2000s malware and die?

you have seen the cursed shadow version of that video. beware.

[sewermageboy]

Alright, so. I like the Lucanis romance in general. But there is one major complaint I have, and it's this scene right here.

This is the romance lock-in scene.

Now, you'd be forgiven if you didn't catch that when watching the video, because literally the only indicator that this is the lock-in is the dialogue wheel telling you it is. Nothing happens narratively in this scene that would indicate the beginning of a relationship. If anything, there's gratitude and some light flirting.

The next time I took out Lucanis and Neve with me, Neve congratulated him on his relationship with Rook. Taash told him to take Rook flying on a date. And I'm just there like: "That's very sweet guys, but how the fuck do you know we're even together? Did the dialogue wheel tell you, too?"

My complaint about Lucanis' romance isn't that it isn't "spicy" enough or whatever, or that it's a slow burn. It's that it genuinely feels like an entire scene - the actual start of their relationship - is straight up missing. And honestly? That kinda sucks.

3.1k words!

warnings: mentions of poor mental health, therapy, and insecurity. If any of these things make you uncomfortable, please don't open.

tags: pining, only small mentions of katsuki being in a band, fluff. (beware if u don't like musicians and mushy endings!)

summary: katsuki has a little secret.

The room was dingy and dim lit, drums thrumming as an intro before the sound of chords tuned in, melding into a sharp pattern before the humming of a sultry voice joined in.

Haunting the ominous room through the tremors of the unstable wooden planks. 

You just watched, completely awestruck at the view before you, lips parted as your eyes sparkled a bit at the view.  Clapping loudly when they finished up, rushing to Jiro with a grin before yanking her into a hug. “That was great!” You compliment her while hopping up and down as she grinned at you, patting your arm with a little blush on her cheeks. 

“Thanks, Bakugo actually helped me with it.” A shrill squeal leaves your lips at that, bursting into a fit of giggles before turning your head to the drummer. 

“Someone’s got you feeling some type of way, huh?” 

The blond just shot you an offended look, huffing when everyone started laughing like crazy at that. But he didn’t shoot you an insult or cuss you out, he just stayed quiet and started packing his stuff up.

 Calling for Denki to clean up his cigarette buds he kept leaving on the ground when he noticed them. Rolling his eyes when his friend just starts teasing him for not yelling at you. Shoving him in the background as you spoke to Jiro happily, until you finally over to them in confusion before grinning. 

Deciding to run over to them the best you could in your cute little platforms you insisted on wearing. “Let me help you clean up!” Your interruption had Bakugo pause, turning his head to you in confusion. 

Still gripping Denki’s shirt collar, having nearly shaken the brains out of the poor man who’s mouth might’ve been foaming a bit, just snapping out of it and smiling at you. “Really? Okay-” 

Nope, poor guy’s getting knocked out by Bakugo, smacking him right at the back of the head. “Lazy people piss me off.” He simply said, settling his friend back onto the floor before dragging you away roughly.

 “Don’t do dumb things like that.” He scolded, nearly tossing you over to Jiro before finally going back to his duffle bag to zip it up without another word. Throwing it over his shoulder and heading out without you all, taking the lead to his car. 

Momo just stood there looking concerned over everything she just witnessed, heading over to Denki to check if he was okay before you all headed out to the parking lot. Seeing Katsuki already seated in his car waiting for you all. 

He was such a pissy brat, sometimes he acted more like a stern mother than your friend. But you didn’t comment on it, noticing earlier your joke didn’t fly well with him you decided to keep quiet, biting back a laugh when you paint the mental image of him being a stern old lady shooting you guys a dirty look as he tapped on the steering wheel.

 Skipping over to the car and sitting shotgun, much to Denki’s dismay, but everyone knows you get shotgun no matter who was driving, you couldn’t sit in the back with these shoes! Being able to bat your lashes at any of your friends and get them to fold in a second made you feel so special. 

Like you were the group baby, which was funny to you since you were the oldest of the group. You were a whole year ahead of them, but transferring to their class you had to take some classes with the year under. 

A sweetheart who won over all their hearts, or at least everyone but Bakugo’s who always seemed so uninterested in whatever you had to say. It made you kind of sad that one person in the group didn’t like you, you wanted to be his friend so bad. 

But you only hung out whenever you were in a group setting and barely got to spend time with him. It didn’t matter much, at least you got to be involved with everyone, plus you probably wouldn’t be good at hiding the big fat crush you had on him alone. 

It didn’t change how upset it made you not being able to be special to him at least in any kind of way… The lingering feeling of loneliness from your past sprung up again, the kind you’d only remember from being a kid curled up in a little ball as you watched all the others play. Growing up with parents who didn’t know how to act around children or how to be there for you emotionally had affected you so much. 

Things were better now though, regardless of the heavy feeling in your light little heart. You’d started going to therapy a couple months back, finally learning to cope with your problems and how to socialize normally. 

Yes you still made the same mistakes sometimes, verbalizing your overthinking or insecurities out of habit. Now you know you can be better, no longer looking at life in the lens of materialized memories. But through the proper scope of longing to be better, even when you mess up you apologize and fix it.

 No longer running from the fear of rejection, accepting it wholeheartedly and smiling in the face of your fears. To have friends like yours was something you never thought would happen to you, after struggling with friendships your whole life. 

But here you were with them, your first friend group at twenty-two years old. Sitting in the passenger seat and waiting for everyone to file it, turning your head to Katsuki with a grin. Giggling when Denki complains about being stuck in the middle with no leg room with Momo apologizing quickly and Jiro telling him to shut up. 

The drive was peaceful, the car filled with music as you sat and listened to your favorite song. 

“How come she always gets to choose?!”

 “Shotgun gets aux.” 

Katsuki simply says, not even flinching at Kaminari’s complaints. You grinning when he reluctantly listened, looking angry about something he did out of his own free will. You’d all made it to the diner with you all following behind Bakugo, you just smiled as you walked.

 Denki came over to you when you were about to sit, tugging on your arm for a second. “Sit next to me?” The question made you grin, nodding quickly at the question before you heard Bakugo huff, yanking you to sit next to him. 

“Stop acting so desperate, you loser.” The insult left Denki sore, looking at him in slight offense. 

“Why do you always sit next to her?”

 “Because you’re a moron?” 

The back and forth just left you laughing, poor Denki conceding and sitting down with Jiro and Momo on the other side of the table, pouting a bit as he murmured along with their conversation. It was a nice day, one that was perfect so you could go to your therapy appointment with a clear mind. 

Talking to your therapist about techniques to properly maintain routines and how to shift conversations properly when you accidentally verbalize unnecessary thoughts. To not apologize for having those thoughts right away, but to give yourself the time to question why you even had them. 

You’d been over the moon, until your car broke down, getting lost on the way home, having to pull over and check over your car. Calling a tow when you realized it wasn’t a small issue, opting to just try and call someone, taking in a deep breath and forcing yourself to smile as you called one of your friends, since your family wasn’t in the country. 

Straight to voicemail, okay, that’s fine. You’ll call someone else, voicemail again. Okay, you were starting to panic. Texting your group chat with Jiro and all her friends from highschool, just letting them know you needed a ride home since your car broke down. This wasn’t the first time you had to call a tow, you knew it’d take forever.

 Being stuck in your car for thirty minutes without any response made you start to panic, tears forming in your eyes.

You’d sobbed your little heart out, looking at the blank group chat as you sat in your car, feeling way too overwhelmed to even do anything. Blinking a bit in confusion when you felt your phone buzzing, looking at the caller I.D. to see Bakugo’s picture-free contact. 

Heart leaping a bit, but you didn’t let yourself get too hopeful, you knew people got sick of you overtime, that maybe they just didn’t care. But you picked up, needing to know if there might’ve been hope. 

“Hello?”

 “Hey, idiot. Where are you?” 

You sniffled a bit on the other side of the line, which made him look at his phone in confusion, fighting the urge to bring up if you were crying. It was obvious you were. “I don’t know, I’m just on some road. It’s in the middle of nowhere I don’t-” “Send me your location, I’ll be there.” He simply said, not bothering to hang up when he knew you needed someone to stay with you. 

You dropped your location for him, not knowing he was already in his car and had been waiting for you to answer. The call was radio silent between you two after that, the only background noise being the soft humming of his car in the background and your sniffles. 

But he stayed on the phone, he’d stayed and you felt like you actually mattered to someone in that moment. It was dumb, you knew Bakugo, you knew he was one of the most genuine people you’d ever meet. He didn’t even bother correcting you when you’d first met and you kept calling him his first name, or telling you that you’d been putting your bag in his cubby and not Jiro’s.

 It was the quiet kindness that made him so attractive to you, but the fact that he barely talked to you told you that you probably didn’t have a chance with him. Maybe you shouldn’t be thinking about that when you’re on the side of the road having a panic attack though.

 He’d made it to your location after thirty minutes, the same time as your tow truck. You’d just rushed over to him, sobbing your eyes out and tugging at your bag, barely lifting it up until he just hoisted the bag up from your grasp, throwing it over his shoulder and taking your little make up pouch out of your car, simply muttering out his explanation as he walks ahead of you to his car. 

“Shouldn’t leave your things in the car, just in case.” He says gruffly, opening up the passenger door for you before handing you the little pouch and putting your bag in the back seat. Sighing a bit as he got back into the driver’s seat, looking at you for a second before looking over to the road and merging into traffic.

 “What do you want to eat?” Your eyes widen a bit at his words, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion, feeling embarrassed when he just huffed at your reaction. “I’m getting food, tell me what you want before I choose.”

 With that you scramble to grab your phone, searching up whatever restaurants were nearby. Looking at him nervously before sniffling a little bit, wiping your tears away before gently tugging your clothes back into place. “I trust you, where would you wanna go?”

 That’s how you both ended up in another little diner, with Katsuki casually slouched in his seat, watching you fix your makeup.  Fighting back a little smile, huffing in amusement at how cute he found the action, looking away the minute he noticed you might’ve caught him looking.

 Fiddling with his shirt as he waited for a waitress to come over, only sitting up when one showed up. It went by faster than he thought it would, even if it started off awkward. You’d sit there, feeling uncomfortable with the silence between the two of you, looking down to your lap and playing with a loose thread on your clothes.

 Katsuki finally got sick of the silence, huffing as he sat up, looking at you in frustration. “Would you quit moping? It’s making me depressed.”

 Your eyes flew wide open at that, mouth falling into a little oh shape before you covered it, looking at him shyly. “Sorry, I just… Have no clue how to talk to you.” You admitted, feeling a little flustered at having to be alone with him when the situation finally sank in.

 Looking back over to him with furrowed eyebrows, noticing the slight change up in his attire. Actually, it was a big switch up, why was he dressed so nice? He was wearing a simple white button up with some dress pants and a vest to match, even with that he found a way for it to be more laid back, like he needed to always be comfortable.

 But still, it looked really nice on him. You had to cut your ogling short when he narrowed his eyes at you a little, completely missing the roseyness reaching his cheeks. “Were you supposed to be somewhere?”

 “Nothing important, just dinner with my family.” He sarcastically told you, earning a sad look from your end as you sat across from him with a frown on your face. Which made him instantly regret his words, looking away as he slouched back into his seat and crossed his arms. 

“Don’t make that face, they wanted to have dinner with me, because of this shit misunderstanding… They thought I had a girlfriend…”

 The statement made you choke on your water, coughing as you forcefully swallowed down the water. “Why would they think that?” The question earned an offended glare from him.

 Glancing down to his feet awkwardly as he started tugging on that damn tie he was wearing, his expression forced neutral. “Just… Izuku being a loudmouth…” Oh yeah, Izuku, the cute green haired guy he was friends with. If you weren’t already in love with Katsuki, Izuku would have for sure caught your eye. 

Then again, you liked any guy that gave you basic respect and looked pretty. What you didn’t know about Izuku is that his social cues could be way off, especially when he started talking to Katsuki about you without knowing he was on the phone with his mom. 

Safe to say he almost strangled him when his mom suggested dinner before having to hang up right away thanks to her having to go to the doctors. Katsuki definitely wasn’t a pushover, no way would anyone think that, but when it came to his mom… 

She’d whoop him to oblivion with no hesitation. 

So he just bit his tongue after trying to tell her over and over again there was no girl but missing the chance. Knowing he’d just have to wait till their dinner to just go by himself and explain everything. Thankfully, he didn’t have to be in one of those stuffy restaurants filled with old couples or annoying little kids with their parents trying to get them to behave. This was better, even if you still looked like you were about to burst into tears again.

He just looked at you for a second, doing his best to force a smile when he couldn't even do it for his mom. Mouth crooked as his teeth peaked out, with his eyes scrunching up in discomfort, doing his best to crack a joke. "So... did you hear the one about the chicken and it getting run over?... Wait, I mean- Fuck nevermind." The joke wasn’t even funny, at least he didn’t think so since he couldn't even crack it. His cheeks reddening when you laughed so hard you started snorting a bit as you cackled loudly, hugging your stomach as you tried to subdue it.

Maybe you’d never know this, but this moment was when he knew he was in love with you, head over heels. If only he knew how to express that outside of being a jerk. Hours had passed with you both in the diner, the silence between you two being less tense than before. Sometimes talking between bites as you ate. The car ride back to your place was going to be two hours long thanks to traffic, he just handed his phone off to you with spotify open. “You can choose the music.” He simply said, not admitting that he was worried about you, but wanting you to feel more comfortable. 

Rolling his eyes the minute he recognised the song, looking over to you for a second before bringing his eyes back to the road. “Why was this the most expected outcome?”  A little giggle leaves your lips as you clap your hands a bit, singing along and trying to get him to join. 

Gently tugging at his shirt before gasping in shock, looking over the car hood, hands going to the dashboard as you stare off at the sky in awe. “I didn’t realize how late it was…” Your awe-struck words left him hesitant, nearly choking from how pretty you looked in this moment. The sun was setting, shining brightly, illuminating your skin, allowing all the things that made you look so alive glow. 

A beautiful soul filled with love in their heart, but you were so unbelievably breathtaking. Something in him switched, realizing that maybe this was his chance to do something dumb, looking around before taking an opening and driving off the road to the clear park after finally moving. 

Ignoring you when you asked what he was doing, looking around with furrowed eyebrows, falling off your seat with a squeal when he slammed the brakes. “I told you to wear a seatbelt, you moron… Come on.” You finally processed where you were, watching him get out of his seat after putting the car in park.

 Thinking he’d just leave you behind to do what he wanted until he opened the door up. Turning your head to him with wide eyes, letting him help you out, hands shaking as you peak up at him through your lashes. 

Letting him guide you over to the hood of the car, blinking in confusion when his hands find your hips. Squealing a bit when he starts lifting you up without a word to settle you onto the hood, settling beside you to watch the view. “I read about this in a book once… Thought you’d like it.” He mutters out, not looking at you as he lets his eyes fall to the floor.

 Unable to look you in the eyes, as if he confessed something crazy. The moment made you realize a few things, looking over at the view with a smile on your lips, sighing a bit as you gently reached for his arm.

 Resting your cheek to his shoulder as you watched the sunset together. “Maybe, but maybe I just like doing this with you.” 

It was at that moment that you realized things weren’t going to be the same after this and that it was going to be okay.

  The End

Sonic Forces AU Comic

[NEXT]

(Rambling below cut)

I started on this a couple days ago, but finished it today. Sorry if it's hard to follow!

After Shadow ripped the Phantom Ruby out of Infinite's chest, he dropped it, and Sonic caught it, explaining why Sonic has it.

Shadow isn't in this comic due to him currently being incapacitated and with Rouge. They're on the sidelines.

Infinite is doing all in his power to get the Phantom Ruby back. He went from begging to manipulating, trying to buy time for him to grab it from Sonic. He wanted Sonic to be so wrapped up in his own thoughts that he wouldn't be able to defend himself. It was Infinite's best plan.

Infinite needs the Phantom Ruby because that is what's keeping him "alive". He should be dead though. Infinite's still moving because of the left over power he has from the Phantom Ruby, it's essentially a grace period.

Sonic crushing the Phantom Ruby (Or Silver with Sonic's hands) unleashed all the energy inside the Ruby into Sonic at once.

I also want to make more comics about what happened prior.
