Hiii I love your work & Just genuinely Curious. If you got to make a Deadpool movie, Fox backing you up and all. What would it be like or about? Would it be an original story or adapt certain storylines like how Andrew & Tobey did with Spidey? Any specific actor in mind for Wade? Idk just again curious how a Sci made DP film would be

oouugh... my dream deadpool movie is honestly the first deadpool movie but with like. some changes. not even major changes. even ryan can stay. i can't really think of anyone i'd like to replace him – i've always been kind of bad at fan casts - my imagined wade wilson is so specific, i don't think there are any actors that could come close, no sir. i think i'd do the origin - as is - i kind of like the flipping from present to past motif they have – i'd probably keep more scenes they had in the script in the final film that they wound up cutting – i've revolved it in my head, really, how i'd fix that first deadpool movie, and really - first, i'd keep this scene in:

and i'd shift the ending so that wade just... doesn't get the girl at the end. vanessa walks away. because he's become something else. and actually, a guy like deadpool shouldn't get the girl. he saves her, he saves the day, but actually – becoming deadpool, and becoming so wantonly violent and you know, becoming the exact kind of killing machine he did not want to be – 

oy.

i feel like the film wanted to set up this theme that wade needs to be better than this. that he desires to be better. but when he becomes deadpool he spirals back into old violent habits because he deems himself unloveable and does everything in his power to make himself "loveable" (aka attractive) again for vanessa. but what he doesn't realise is that it's not his appearance that does that – it's his actions.

so i think my perfect deadpool movie would be that first deadpool movie, but committing to the theme that actually, just because wade was dealt a shitty hand doesn't mean he has to be a monster. and that his violence isn't something funny or romantic. and that he can change. instead of us seeing this guy who clearly wanted to escape violence... being pushed back into violence and what's worse, being rewarded for it.

it's such a weird, twisted moral attached to the first deadpool movie and i'm constantly thinking about it. i remember the first time i read the leaked script, back in like, 2012, i said: "it's so good, but dear god i hope they change the ending." and they didn't. they just did not. and so when i first saw the deadpool movie i was so thrilled but. when the credits rolled i kind of audibly sighed too. because wade shouldn't get that ending. not yet. not until he does the work.

i also would've given vanessa her powers. or i would've at least teased her powers. i think having it be a surprise that wade didn't know is a delight. save it for the sequel, but tease it. or, honestly – the original script kind of did tease it. like, it's very readable that vanessa could be a shapeshifter, in the original script. she's shapeshifter-coded.

i think i wouldn't do a deadpool movie without first doing it as an origin – the set-up is so important. i don't have any sort of grand plotline i'd do with wade. maybe i'd love to write a cable and deadpool movie – or an x-force movie – god, i want an x-force movie so bad. but honest to god, there's not really any plotlines i'm eager to adapt for the big screen. wade wilson has decidedly less interesting villains and storylines than spider-man has, unfortunately. like, sorry. all his villains kind of are stupid. they've really tried to give him villains but, dear god. the best villain he's ever been up against is his ex-wife. and i don't know, i don't think i particularly want to see shiklah in the movies. i think i'd much rather see grounded, personal stories with wade – ones that don't deal with monsters and supernatural beasts – but, with other mutants, i guess.

if i were to pitch a new fresh deadpool movie in the existing deadpool franchise, save for an x-force movie, i'd love to see wade being recruited as an x-chaperone, and having to look after all these mutant kids but him being completely out of his depth throughout, and they drag him on some huge "world-ending-stakes" adventure but actually, the personal stakes stay very small, and it's almost a ferris buellers day off affair but with more spandex. these kids with their powers run amok and wade's trying to wrangle them but is also whisked away in all the fun of it and is actually worse than they are when it comes to staying well-behaved. they take over the macy's parade... maybe logan swoops in to yank wade by the ear... other x-men cameos abound. that's a deadpool movie i'd love to see. if i were to make a fresh one, that would be it. ferris bueller's day off, but with more spandex.

If Akademi was an American school, realistically, most, if not everyone would be afraid to go to school, depressed at some degree and very tired, richer students get away with anything and bullying is rampant.

If you want some angst idea for a Yandere Simulator American School AU fic, just look up some depressing news about real american schools.

Fun fact: Sylas and Shuvi’s older brother once came out to Pelican Town to spend the holidays with his baby siblings, and basically the whole town swooned over him the whole time.

[prismatic-bell]

*deep breath* This is too much for replies

Okay, @waywren, this is way too fucking funny not to share, so here we go.

@penprp is Zeo's IRL bestie. They went to school together way back in New York.

I grew up in Pennsylvania.

@sailorzeo made a post about five (five?!) years ago, very much like the post I made, basically saying "hi we're almost out of money on the electric meter please look at my Etsy shop."

I went "huh, I've only ever heard of electric like that in Arizona. I wonder where she lives" and clicked on her Etsy. Etsy said she lived in [coughcoughcough], the same city in the Phoenix metro area as me, so I bought something and then shot her a message and was like "hey! If you ever need something, let me know."

Many makers don't know/do this, but if you're a small maker, you're supposed to put your address on your labels. It's the law. Zeo does know and do this. So I spotted her address on the label of my new lip balm, and when I was done laughing my ass off, I sent her another message: "hell, if you ever need anything, just come knock on my door. We're neighbors."

That's right: we're from New York and Pennsylvania and we ended up in the Valley of the Sun only three miles from each other.

BUT WAIT. THAT ISN'T ALL.

So we became mutuals on Tumblr. A couple of days later, she reblogged a post from me about the woes of having a big family in a small town, and made the addendum "Grandpa [COUGHCOUGH] always said it was safe to date once you crossed the river."

. . . . to which I went " . . . . hang on, Grandpa whom? Where are you from? That name sounds familiar."

Guess what.

Her family moved to New York before she was born, but their place of origin was only 100 miles from mine. And she had family from the same town as my grandfather.

I asked my mom, who confirmed that we do, in fact, have relatives with the same last name as Zeo's family. Her brother is into genealogy and while we haven't found a link, there is a non-zero chance we're cousins. If you know that my great-grandmother had sixteen children who lived to adulthood, and that she had two siblings, and you know that the county I'm from has only a quarter of a million people and the town Zeo's family was from has only about 39 000 people, and that her family was big enough for "cross the river before you date" to be necessary advice, and that the county our families shared has only 45 000 people (and all of those numbers are for 2021, not for the 1960s and earlier), you know that the "non-zero chance" is actually pretty fucking hefty. We might only be related through marriage, but there is a decent chance that if we somehow managed to sift through all of our literal hundreds of cousins, we'd find at least one married pair.

MOVING ON!

We became friends. We'd been talking for probably like ten months when things between my mom and I went sour very fast. I called Zeo because I didn't really have any other friends in Arizona and I was like "please help, I don't know what to do, I'm panicking." She and her husband were like "what you're going to do is move in with us, it's going to be okay."

And I've been their roommate ever since.

NOW WHERE THIS GETS MORE FUCKING HILARIOUS STILL

I'm pretty sure I met you through fandom.

I had no idea until yesterday that you and penprp followed each other.

I didn't know until I read your reply that you guys are QPPs.

Somebody put me in mouse ears and call me Walt, because apparently it is a small fucking world after all.

it depresses me that some people don't even try to understand why others act the way they do

[ghosts-and-swords]

Before Romance Dawn

Mihawk has a crew but has been keeping away from them for more than a decade to hide them from the government's radar. 

Each crewmate had their own coffin boat they used for stealthy attacks.

He met Shanks some time before Roger's execution, but their friendly banters began almost right afterwards. Mihawk's goal had always been to become the strongest swordsman in the world, and Shanks became aware of how weak he was when his captain was executed, so he promised himself to become the very best as well.

At some point, the two of them were considered part of the “Supernovas” of their generation. (I compare them to Luffy and Law to some degree).

Shanks does know and is friendly with Mihawk's crew, just as the swordsman is with the Red Hair Pirates. He keeps their secret and supports Mihawk's play pretend to make everyone believe he's a one-man-crew.

Sometime before Shanks stayed for a year at Dawn Island and lost his arm, their fights became so stupidly dangerous their crews helped the locals evacuate the area for safety.

Eventually they both grew desperate there wasn't a clear winner and they decided to call it a truce, only to fight on a daily basis over the dumbest things.

Over the course of a single year, they had dance-offs, sing-offs, food wars, eating competitions and many many other dumb stuff Mihawk would rather not talk about ever again.

Shanks, on the other hand, won’t shut up about them.

Hawks is a very good cook and a terrific dancer because of that, tho.

Mihawk accepted the title as Shichibukai ten years ago, only because he was bored. Shanks had already lost his arm and mostly no one was able to stand against him in battle, so he took the position to be left alone.

The reason his crew managed to stay off the radar was because Mihawk alone became really famous thanks to his rivalry with Shanks. Though the crew was feared, most people never knew their captain was none other than Hawk Eye Mihawk. When they vanished from sight, most people believed they had been either captured or killed.

Before the timeskip

Mihawk is Shanks' son goth-father (lol. And yes, you know what child I'm talking about you cannot take that headcanon away from me). If Mihawk ever got a child, he'd pick Shanks as their godfather too.

He hasn't considered parenthood as a viable option, but if he did, he'd rather have a daughter (*coughcoughcough*).

His attendance ratio to meetings with the government is below 40%. He only attends when absolutely necessary mostly because he doesn't want to lose his privilege of being left alone.

He's not friendly with the other Warlords, specially Doflamingo, Crocodile and Moria, knowing of the abuse they make of their positions.

Mihawk was ok with Kuma, though he's often tired of his religious preaching. He knew of his alliance with the Revolutionaries before turning into a Pacifista, but doesn’t dwell on it. He’s kinda bitter he sent him Zoro and Perona, though, even if he grew to like the two of them.

He'd never met Hancock before Marineford, but had heard many things about the Snake Princess that made him want to fight against her at some point.

He was actually friendly towards Jinbei until he got imprisoned at Impel Down, but he always believed he was kinda foolish for risking too much in defying Big Mom and joining Luffy’s crew.

Law seemed a promising warlord and another interesting rival swordsman, but it was more than obvious he was just using the government as a stepping stone. He wishes he could also fight him at some point.

He doesn’t have Blackbeard in good regards for his underhanded methods. He didn’t like him because of his beef with Shanks, and he likes him even less afterwards what happened in Marineford. He’s intrigued by his Devil Fruits’ powers, but doesn’t wish to fight against him.

Mihawk knows Buggy is Shanks' friend but cannot believe he was appointed as a Shichibukai. He'd fought against him briefly at Marineford and he thinks Buggy is just one very, very lucky idiot with a bothersome Devil Fruit.

The moment Weevil was appointed as a warlord, Mihawk knew the government no longer needed them. 

Living with Zoro & Perona Pt. 1

Mihawk felt he had lost a spark until he met Zoro. When they clashed in East Blue, he took a liking to the young swordsman because he greatly reminded him of himself when he was younger.

We joke a lot about Mihawk’s chronic depression, but I hc that he actually suffers from it. He has a strict training regime and often follows a tight schedule and diet to keep it at bay. 

If he feels like his depression is hitting him hard, he stops drinking for a while. He doesn’t take medication.

It was getting really bad until Zoro defied him and later on he and Perona crashed into his home. Ever since the three of them had been living together, he has felt his depressive episodes are shorter and not as hard to overcome.

He has never told anyone about this, though he is sure Shanks and his former crewmates know.

At first he was really annoyed Kuma had sent him two children to take care, but as time went by, he began to enjoy their company a lot. Zoro was a good practice partner and Perona had similar tastes in decor, books and fashion.

He still thinks they are annoying, mostly when they fight, but he gets them to shut up real fast.

Mihawk kills bugs around the castle for Perona, after too much nagging.

He forbid Zoro from drinking while mastering haki because he knows that’s what works for him when he needs to focus.

You’d never hear him say it out loud, but he’s quite attached to the humandrills. When they became a bit more amicable, he’d usually talk to them and pat them.

Contrary to what Perona and Zoro initialy thought, Mihawk is a dog person. He doesn’t dislike cats, but he freaking loves dogs. 

He would never want to have one, since he believes he’d not be able to take care of another living being.

Perona considered giving him one, but decided it was better not to piss him off or she’d end up taking care of the pup.

In some timeline in which they keep living together (andmarryandhaveadaughter) they do adopt a dog and call him Cerberus. Mihawk likes crafting armor for him.

Mihawk is good at remembering important dates and very good at giving gifts. He once gave Zoro a silver flask and Perona a very beautiful sundress. In return, they try to give him cool gifts for his birthday, but they never manage to win against him lol

Mihawk pretends he doesn’t know where a certain cocoa tree came from. Perona knows.

#i never thought i would read ''kneeling in surrender to spare a village#but secretly planing to kill all those soldiers'' I also didn't know I wanted that until I wrote it. Funny, huh? But think about it, werewolves seemed to be uncommon and if Red kills soldiers, who would be left to say something? How long until more people know? That would be fun. There is something, a monster, a beast, then somebody can say it's a wolf, and they have to know about wolfstime and this whole thing of "I once heard a tale of people shifting during the full moon" and realizing these types of attacks only happen on specific nights. Regina has the advantage of getting away by teleportation if need be. But also now she's totally set up for wanting Red in this version. The woman who knelt, but got up in the most brutal way afterwards. What a deception! To lower herself like that. Keeping her will deal a blow to Snow and also, damn, she made a threat that she would suffer, Regina has to honor that now!! Suffer so much she begs for death as mercy. *coughcoughcough*

IT'S SO GOOD, that Red can use the ~mystery~ of her kind to her advantage. Who would suspect a perfetly nice looking woman in a beautiful red cloak? She couldn't hurt anyone! She's not dressed for a fight! She doesn't even have any weapons! Pffft, she'll be easy to subdue, lock up, defeat.

Then, oops. They're all dead now.

I pictured Red kneeling in one occasion, just so the enemy can think they've won and lower their guard, and then, right there, where she's kneeling, she turns. They don't even have the time to register it or back away, she's already jumping up to tear their throats. ✨Adorable!!

BUT MA'AM WHAT KIND SUFFERING DID YOU HAVE IN MIND? I LIKE THAT? SOUNDS VERY REGINA, WHATEVER IT IS

In the Boughs of the Goddess

TW: Battle, blood, injury, collapsed lung

The Golden Deer are fighting for their lives. You are teamed with Ignatz for this fight. You like working with him, he is attentive and great at keeping enemies from sneaking up from behind. Of course, just as you think this you see 3 fighters sneaking up on him! Placing yourself between him and the enemies with lances and swords is your job. You attack with your blade, quickly taking out one, then the other of the enemy. As you engage with the lance fighter, a fourth enemy approaching you from the back screams as Ignatz fires an arrow into their neck. Just a second too late however as his lance goes through your chest and peeks through the top of your chest. You finish the guy in front of you as Ignatz panics a little bit.

“Tell me what to do, I will do whatever you tell me to!” The green haired archer babbles.

“I can’t move with this spear in me. I’m going to lay down face first, put your foot on my back and pull it out!” You order him as you loosen and drop your front of your breast plate, the back stuck to you by the spear.

“Okay. I can do this.” He tries to reassure himself as he watches you lie face down, the lance standing straight up in front of him.

“Foot.” You say waiting for his foot on your back. Finally it is there. “PULL!!”

A sickening sound, ‘Slork’ comes from you as the lance is pulled free. You roll on your back leaving the back panel of your chest plate behind.

“Poison?” You ask him.

“No.” Ignatz says as he studies the tip of the spear. He throws it to the side.

You look around, the battle is still going on. You spy a large evergreen with huge branches hanging out from around its base. “Ignatz, help me get under that evergreen, we won’t be so visible hiding there.”

“Sure thing.” He says, trying to help you stand. The more you move, the harder your heart pumps and the more blood seems to come from your wound. Breathing is very painful, the exertion is making you cough, and you hide the blood you are coughing up from your friend. The large wide evergreen gives you perfect cover.

“See if you can peek through the branches, is anyone near that can help?” You ask.

Ignatz weaves through the branches. He can move a limb here and there and still keep undercover. “I can’t see anyone on our side nearby.” He says after sitting next to you. There are several enemies close. Be quiet.”

You try to breathe quietly, but there is a crackling sound every time you breathe in. You want to cough so badly but you know that it would attract enemies. The pain is barely tolerable. You roll on your side, the injury is towards Ignatz who gasps.

“You’re bleeding pretty bad.” He is on his knees whispering to you.

“You’ve learned a basic heal, right? Byleth made us all learn.”

He looks at you concerned. “It’s been quite a while.” He frowns.

You grab his shirt and pull him closer. You whisper the steps to him, manipulating your fingers as he nods along. He finally sits up straight. You listen to him quietly whisper the incantation of the spell, the warmth of his touch on your back is proof the healing spell is working. Perhaps it will slow the blood enough that you will live until help comes. You reach for a handkerchief in a pocket, waving at him to get it. You tell him to wad it up and shove it in the hole. Anything to help stop the flow of blood.

You ask him to crawl to the front of you and have his bow ready, the sounds of movement through the woods is coming closer. He can use your body as a shield if anyone investigates your hiding place.

Ignatz brushes your hair out of your face. He can hear the crackling every time you breathe. You’re also making wheezing sounds. It sounds so painful he wants to cry for you.

Someone out there is yelling orders and a person runs past the tree. Your right hand grips tighter on the handle of your sword. It is then quiet for a few minutes.

Ignatz relaxes a bit. “I should go look.”

“No! I can’t back you up. Worst thing we can do is get up too early.”

You are gasping for every breath, so hard to breathe, the pain is coming back. Ignatz is up on his elbow, peeking out the tree as best he can from there.

His face is illuminated by the light peeking in through the tree branches, giving him an ethereal glow. “You look like an angel.” You whisper to him, closing your eyes. “Thank you for healing me.” You cough, and it shakes you as you keep coughing and coughing, blood definitely coming out of your mouth, dripping down your chin.

“No, you’re going to make it!” He declares as he stands up inside the tree checking for enemies. He then leaves the cover of the branches and looks skyward for Claude or anyone on a flying beast.

Ignatz spies someone on a wyvern, luckily it’s Claude. He gives their leader the signal for needing help and Claude acknowledges. The young man quickly checks around him, no signs or sounds of fighting nearby, he knows he needs to get you out in the open for rescue.

He helps pull you out from under the tree, lying you on the grass in the late afternoon sun.

You cough again, it crackles very loudly inside and outside of you.

Ignatz kneels over you, “Anything I can do?”

“No.” You begin, interrupted by a cough. “I need to *wheeze* confess something. *cough*. I might’ve snuck into the room that you paint in and *cough hack *saw your work. It’s so beautiful. *coughcoughcough* The way you paint a meadow I can almost smell the flowers and feel the gentle breeze.” You have a huge coughing fit, glad to confess your sin against him.

“I’m, I’m not mad.” He blushes. “J-just embarrassed.”

“When we get out of this I want to pay you *cough* to paint a picture...of me.*hackcoughbleed* I’m not that beautiful, but if you painted me I know I could be. In the m-morning s-sun, *coughbleedhack* in a yellow dress surrounded by trees and flowers. Feeding a fawn. *coughcracklehacklecough* When the war is over it can remind me of being in the Golden Deer, but especially of you. You are so amazing and talented. *cough gurgle*”

The sounds of a horse approaching redirects Ignatz’ attention. Leonie and Marianne arrive. Marianne finds that your punctured lung has collapsed and you have lost a lot of blood. She heals and cleans the wound dressing it quickly before they put you on the back of Dorte, returning you to camp.

You awaken with the dawn, pillows stuffed in front of and behind you, keeping you from lying on the healing wound and helping with breathing. You cough, alerting a healer that is nearby who runs over, rubbing your back until you are done. Taking your hand away you find little blood. That is a good sign.

Marianne soon comes to see how you are doing. She performs additional healing spells and you feel the pressure in your chest lessen. She advises that you are going to be out of it for a while, you need to strengthen your lungs. You can speak, but not much above a whisper, anything louder hurts too much. The bandage on the front of your chest is itching, a good sign that the healing magic is working. Byleth pokes his head around the corner and Marianne nods at him.

The former Professor comes to the side of the bed and sits in the chair. “You made it. We are all very happy.” You see a tiny bit of a smile on his face.

Reaching out you grab his hand and squeeze it. “Ignatz did a great job protecting me and helping me.”

“I will thank him again. Take care, you have several visitors waiting.” He says as he stands to leave. “Nice flowers. Your favorites, as I recall.” He notes as he brushes his finger against a yellow rose on the table next to you as he leaves.

After a pause, Ignatz steps hesitantly into the room. “Hi.” He says as he walks closer to you, as if he is approaching a wounded animal.

You smile widely at his presence. “Oh! Good to see you again.” You whisper.

“You’re looking much better now.” He smiles gently and nods.

You reach out your hand to take his in yours. It is warm. You place his palm on your cheek. “Thank you. Thank you so much.” You hope it sounds as heartfelt as you feel.

“You’re welcome. You would have done the same for me, the same for anyone. We’re all here together and need to help each other.” He smiles, brushing his hand on your cheek, then putting some loose strands of your hair back behind your ear.

“Did you give me the flowers? They’re beautiful.” You smile.

Ignatz blushes. “Maybe.” He says, looking away for a moment. “I should probably let the others come see you. I’ll be back later, okay?” He smiles as he stands.

You smile back. “I would really like it if you have time, please do visit me.”

He awkwardly bows, then nearly sprints from the room.

Claude marches in next. He smiles genuinely as he announces how happy he is now that one of his best swordsmen is on the mend. He asks for your version of the battle that day, filling you in on what you’ve missed as well as giving you information on the last war council meeting. He pats your head and wishes you well as he sends Raphael into the room.

“Hey! You’re looking great!” The boisterous brawler announces as he enters.

“Hey! I’m feeling pretty good.” You whisper back.

Suddenly Raphael’s shoulders drop a bit and he sits down. He whispers as softly as he can (which is not very soft but he’s trying) “I hope they’re treating you good in here. Let me know if I can bring you food or something.” He smiles widely.

“I’ll let you know. It is great to see you. Did you get hurt? I don’t see anyone else in here so I hope everyone is good.” You whisper, starting to feel tired.

“Aww, we’re great. You’ve been out for four days. Ignatz was in here every day until the kicked him out so he would sleep in his own bed. I’ve been keeping him eating regularly, can’t let your body suffer just because you’re worried. But I bet he’s back to himself now that you’re doing good.” The smile on his face is enough to cheer anyone, and it works very well on you.

“I’m glad you’re there to take care of him. I’ll be out and sparring with you as soon as Marianne says I can.” You answer, reaching out and squeezing his hand.

The rest of the Golden Deer filter in throughout the morning, all wanting to make sure they can see you alive and kicking after being out of commission for so many days. You doze between visits. The healers let you have some broth for lunch, then make you take an afternoon nap that you don’t argue about at all. Dinner is light and soft foods.

Once it is dark, Ignatz comes for another visit. You talk together for a while about what is going on, what everyone is doing. Then he finally pulls out his sketchbook. He wants to show you a drawing that came to him.

“It isn’t finished, this is just the raw base of it, but I wanted to know what you thought.” He shyly turns the page then hands the book to you.

There is a figure that resembles his image of the goddess. From the chest up, she is in her glorious, beautiful form. She has a peaceful look on her face. Then the dress flows out from her, becoming the boughs of an evergreen tree, opening up to provide sanctuary, her hands pull the front open like a curtain. There on the ground at her feet are two figures lying face to face huddled closely together.

“Oh. This is beautiful. I understand your thoughts completely about this work. I love the progression and change as she becomes the tree. I wish I had better words to describe it.” You smile back at him as a tear falls from your eye as you sigh.

“Thank you. I felt it really captured the moment.” He says softly as you hand his book back to him.

You talk a little longer then say good night.

After a few days you are finally released from the infirmary. Leonie helps you out for a few days, walking takes your breath away fairly quickly and you have to make frequent stops. She helps carrying things for you or just making sure you’re not overworking yourself. Finally you are strong enough to be on your own.

After dining with the rest of the Deer, Ignatz says he is headed off to do some painting. You ask if you can join him and he says yes.

He asks how you are feeling and your recovery progress. Marianne said that you can work on sword forms, but once you feel winded you have to sit and rest until your body completely calms and your breathing is normal. You’ve promised to follow her instructions to the letter.

Ignatz sets up his easel, getting his paints ready and the both of you become quiet. You bring a book to read with you and you settle yourself on the soft grass of the hill. Occasionally one of you will say something, but mostly just enjoy the time being quiet in each other’s company. Once the sun starts to set, you ask him to sit next to you so you can watch it together. Your shoulders brush up against each other occasionally making one of you blush. You sneak peeks at each other, somehow never quite getting caught by the other.

You can’t take this anymore, so you place your hand on top of his. When he doesn’t take his away, you weave your fingers through his as the last light of the sun flees from the horizon.

You sit there for a few minutes longer, until a bit of a breeze reminds you it’s going to get cold quickly now that the sun’s warmth is no longer there.

“We should get back while we have a little light.” You quietly murmer.

Ignatz packs up his things, you take the easel, which is fairly lightweight, so he can better hold his still wet painting. You walk side by side to the storage room turned painting workshop for him. He places the painting on a stand as you put the tripod on the wall next to another one, you start to turn but then notice it was not secure, so you turn back and rearrange it. You didn’t see Ignatz step up behind you to see if you needed help.

You turn around, bumping into his chest with yours. “Oh” you gasp.

“Oops.” he smiles.

The two of you stand there for a moment chest to chest, then you both lean in towards each other until your lips gently touch. You reach around his shoulders to gently pull him closer, his hands gripping you tightly at your waist.

Your face turns pink as you smile widely and look away.

“You’re so beautiful.” he whispers, his hand reaching under your chin to gently pull your lips back into his.

Pulling back to get a fresh breath of air, you whisper into his lips, “I find you handsome as well, my angel.”

when you feel you absolutely have to participate in an argument on tumblr:

- consider why you are doing this. what should the end result be? are you ranting about people who disagree with you to gain heightened support from the people who agree with you? are you trying to change your opponent’s view on something? it is highly likely that if you attempt to do the former, the latter thing will almost definitely not happen at your hands. it’ll probably just make them hate you and others like you instead

- don’t just assume you’re going to be right. sometimes, overconfidence can help strengthen your points, but it can also make them inaccessible and sound pretentious. consider why the other side could be justifiable and use that to cater your argument to them and/or debunk their claims, and let your mind be open to change.

- own up to things you’ve done wrong. refusing to will give your opposition a strong case against you, so if you think admitting mistakes will be unproductive, chances are not doing it will also be unproductive. just do it

- don’t let your argument be too visceral. is it okay to be motivated by your emotions? absolutely. however, chances are people won’t understand them, so they won’t get what you’re saying if you don’t help them understand it. it sometimes helps to justify emotions with logic/common sense/any form of reasoning even if you don’t like the idea of it (i.e. i have been through x thing that has caused me to behave how i do; this is why i will have an emotional reaction to x thing and other related things)

- don’t expect people to understand what you mean immediately. if they don’t, NEVER insult their intelligence. it is a very low blow and it won’t get you anywhere; on top of that, it will weaken your argument and make people who disagree with you less likely to respect you and trust your opinions

- it is not a bad thing to get in arguments, but if you don’t think yours will be productive, avoid them. if you would really like to be able to change this, work on it. we believe in you 🙌🏽

TL;DR if you must fight with words over the internet, do it wisely

TCW Rewatch: “Dooku Captured” (S1, E10)

HERE. WE. GO.

So I find it interesting that with the exception of “Destroy Malevolence,” Obi-wan and Anakin are not seen on-screen having missions together until this episode arc. Did the Council separate them on purpose after Ahsoka was assigned to Anakin? Was Obi-wan just too busy running the majority of the GAR? Anyway, it’s good to see them together again. (But it also begs the question, just what has Kenobi been doing this entire time, inquiring minds want to know.)

I love this man.

Also, narrator guy, “last known location” of Anakin??? COME ON, KENOBI PLANNED THIS HE *KNOWS* WHERE ANAKIN IS.

OBI-WAN, YOU JERK

One of the things we never really learned about this plan was why Anakin’s capture had to be “convincing.” Obi-wan infiltrated the ship easily, I’m not sure what throwing Anakin in jail accomplished aside from annoying him which, knowing Obi-wan, may have been the point.

Ah, Dooku! First of all, I love that he’s meditating when Obes and Anakin show up. One could interpret this as a) he sat down to meditate two seconds before the Jedi showed up just to look important or b) he’s still clinging to some of his Jedi-hood. Probably both are correct.

I also love that the writers are SO consistent with how Dooku reacts to Obi-wan versus Anakin, in that Dooku always only addresses Obi-wan and Anakin is a mere afterthought to him. AGHHH, I really, REALLY wish we had more Kenobi-Dooku content because Dooku obviously respects Obes’s abilities, despite his alignment with the Jedi. (LIIIIIINEAAAGGGE).

This time? What happened the last time, Ahsoka??? (Also, poor Rex is so done with all of this and it’s only Season 1.)

Now here’s an interesting shot:

Yes, yes, Anakin is chasing Dooku, oh no, where did he go, but more importantly, the way this shot is framed, Anakin is choosing between one side and another side. As in, Light or Dark, Jedi or Padmé and I think it’s an excellent, subtle piece of foreshadowing (and one we never discover what the ultimate choice was, because at this point, Anakin hasn’t chosen either, but sits continuously, for 7 Seasons and most of a movie, on the threshold as he does right here.)

Obi-wan: “I thought you were following him.” Anakin: “I followed him here.”

KENOBI’S LOOK OF DOUBT HAHAHAHAA

I also love how Dooku is in the middle of a space battle looking like he’s thinking about how he is so not tipping this Uber driver at the end of this trip

So Obes and Anakin crash-land, of course. (”I’ve had better landings” HONESTLY, KENOBI). Interestingly, when Dooku causes the mini-avalanche, Obi-wan runs while Anakin brute-strengths his way out with the Force.

HONDO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

First of all, how did Hondo of all people pickpocket Dooku for his saber? Also, why doesn’t Dooku just annihilate all the pirates? He’s a Sith Lord, ffs, it’s not beyond his capabilities. Which lends further credence to my personal theory that Dooku wasn’t all that far down the Dark Side at this point (which is why he didn’t immediately kill Anakin in the next episode) but as TCW wore on, Dooku fell further down into the Dark.

*COUGHCOUGHCOUGHLINEAGECOUGHCOUGHCOUGH* WHY ARE THEY SO SIMILAR??????? WE WERE ROBBED OF THESE TWO TOGETHER, DAMNIT.

The scene with Obi-wan, Anakin, and the gundark has been giffed to death so I won’t add to it. But Obi-wan futzing with his saber while the gundark gives Anakin the run-around will never *not* be funny. Also, on a deeper level, it shows how much Obi-wan trusts Anakin’s abilities that he is able to tease through this entire scene. If Anakin were truly in mortal peril, Obi-wan wouldn’t be playing like this. Obi-wan is a right bastard when he wants to be and I am HERE for it.

Although I do love how annoyed Ahsoka is with the both of them. 

Okay, but when Hondo is trying to extort the Republic - he knows that Dooku is a Sith Lord? How??? And how does Hondo know about the Sith? I mean, we know that despite his eccentricities, Hondo is smart, but with the Sith being hidden so many years, I find it very revealing Hondo had no doubts as to what Dooku is. 

Palpatine must be so pissed at Dooku. Also, we never found out how Hondo got to Dooku and that’s something I truly need to know. And it seems a little out of character for him? Why is Dooku so off his game in these episodes?

THAT’S MY QUESTION, TOO, ANAKIN

THIS IS IT, RIGHT HERE. THIS IS CLONE WARS. THIS SHOT. HAHAHAHA.

I will always love this episode for gracing us with the best aggrieved Obi-wan Kenobi scene of all time:

I will laugh FOREVER at this.

Ah, and of course, this is the beginning of the illustrious Ohnaka/Kenobi friendship, a bond that lasted the test of time. I do so love Hondo. 

Ah, next episode is the quality Dooku-Obi-wan content I am always here for! Plus! New Clone Wars later tonight! Maybe we’ll get an Obi-wan sighting! :D

KNOWING YOUR PARTNER WELL CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE WRITING TOGETHER A LOT EASIER. REPOST DO NOT REBLOG !!

NAME:  kaliya (kuh-lee-yah)

PRONOUNS: she/her

PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION: i primarily use tumblr to communicate with my rp partners, but if i really trust you or we’ve been interacting for a while... you may totally ask me for my discord !

NAME OF MUSE(s): i’ll be kinder and just say how many muses i have, okay? otherwise this will be very long and tedious for you to read ! i have 56 muses as of writing this!

RP EXPERIENCE/HOW LONG (MONTHS / YEARS?): oh, geez. it’s gotta be at least adjacent to ten years now, huh? i believe i started roleplaying in...2011. holy shit. why does time-?

PLATFORMS YOU’VE USED: okay so, most of this is embarrassing, but i’ll go chronologically! it all started when a friend introduced me to what it was over TEXT, then ask.fm became popular, and then i finally settled on FaceBook for a while (where i had 3 accounts: tohru honda, koriand’r, and toshiko sato... although i may have also written harley and molly in that era as well.) before moving to Discord and finally Tumblr. i still actually still roleplay on discord every once in a while because i have a quiet love of making servers.)

BEST EXPERIENCE: what i love most is seeing how excitedly everyone talks about the muses they write, and how passionate people are for the beautiful threads they contribute to. it makes my heart happy to see people come chat ooc, or get hyped about replies. :’)

RP PET PEEVES/DEALBREAKERS: i personally really despise vagues and hateful posts about other writers. it bums me out and makes me really anxious. callouts about people who are endangering people in the rpc are absolutely an exception to this as safety comes first and i’d rather know everyone is comfortable and safe in the corner of the internet that i've made myself a home in. otherwise . . . stay kind and classy, y’know?

MUSE PREFERENCES

FLUFF, ANGST OR SMUT: i love fluff and angst a whole lot, i’ll be real. the complexities of the softer emotions are fun to write, and what comes before and after the storm of a painful event can also be so interesting to dive into! smut, for me, is like rain. if i had it all the time, it wouldn’t be as thrilling to exit my home/comfort zone and experience! i very rarely write it, but i’m not opposed to it. however, i’m quite picky about who i’d write it with. (tl;dr all angst all the time, forever a fluff writer, and rarely a smut stan)

PLOTS OR MEMES: i enjoy both very much!! it’s really hard to choose. i’d really say it depends on the day, but since i sometimes use my meme account, i have a soft spot for when memes are sent in. (but when i feel comfortable dropping in to plot with someone, i get really hyped to start a thread!) i guess... memes are a super easy way to start writing with me, even if we aren’t mutuals! same with open starters... coughcoughcough ;)

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: i tend to end up going overboard and writing a long response, but i really love both. as long as there is something to build upon or react to, it’s long enough to reply with! ...but yes i’m aware that sometimes my replies are quite lengthy... oops ?

BEST TIME TO WRITE: 🎶in the velvet darkness of the blackest night🎶 as a self-proclaimed nocturnal being, i write mostly at night to early morning. sometimes in the afternoons!

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S): i don’t know!! i’m not very self aware! but my tinder profile some sort of short decription i’ve written about myself somewhere at some point describes me as a less organized annie edison with a pinch of max caulfield... so perhaps some? and i think tohru honda invented my personality when i was 9 or 10 years old. lol! overall, i think no. but i think there are little speckles of me in any muse i write because all the words are from my brain LOL. and i think there are speckles of them in my current decision making because i learn things about myself through writing... so its a give and take i suppose? (tl;dr: yes and no?)

[sugarandspice-games]

I guess this is becoming a trend... I’m popping in before the actual intro to clarify-- if the text is in italic, it is me (Sugar) talking and regular is Spice. Alright? Cool. And so--

So, one night I’m going through youtube and I come upon this one shitposty video about some random anime that I’ve never even heard of. After doing some research, I discover that it’s actually based on a dating sim that I’ve also never heard of. As a joke I was like “Hey Sugar wanna watch this as a joke, it might be funny” and so we did. And uhm. Well.

Today we’re gonna be reviewing Brothers Conflict, aka Sweet Home Alabama 2: Electric Anime Boogaloo aka the anime that ruined our lives. [Again, disclaimer: neither Sugar nor I condone incest and/or pedophilia, two themes which are uh, very rampant in this anime which is why I cannot recommend it in good faith. It’s not good, don’t get me wrong. I can’t really say that I liked it even if watching it and ragging on it was kind of enjoyable, and I did get attached to some of the characters because that’s the kind of idiot I am. Also, we’re not shirking our duties to write I swear please don’t kill me--] Anyway, an obligatory SPOILER WARNING though this probably isn’t going in the main tag bc I do not want the fans to publicly stone me. Why are we reviewing this? Bc we need to talk about it somewhere. Though I say review lightly bc this... is really more of a critique.

ALSO we only watched the anime, idk if things are different in the game. There is no full english translation for the games and most of the LP channels have been copyright striked, so please don’t come at us for not knowing anything. I also know that otome games and dating sims don’t tend to translate well to anime, and I will be addressing this later.

So, dear god, where do I begin.

Where do we begin indeed? How about the fact that her name is Ema and I had to google to remember the heroine’s name? Also, she is seventeen.

Our plot, or well... what you COULD call a plot, I guess, if you REALLY wanted to give this anime that much credit, focuses on the aforementioned seventeen year old Hinata Ema, who has an absent father who apparently FOUND THE TIME TO FALL IN LOVE AND GET MARRIED BUT NEVER HAS A SECOND TO SPARE FOR HIS ONLY CHILD, RINTARO I SWEAR TO GOD I AM TAKING CUSTODY OF YOUR CHILD. HAND HER OVER-- Anyway. He’s getting married to a woman who has 13 sons (jesus christ ma’am have you ever heard of a condom?) and he decides to move her in with them because... I guess he has less braincells than I have balls, which is to say, zero. Hi, I’m trans.

So, Ema moves in with them... along with her talking grey squirrel, Juli. Juli is... interesting and by interesting, I mean-- ABSOLUTELY PUZZLING. He, apparently, has seen the majority of Ema’s life from babyhood to teenagerhood and can talk but is only understood by Ema (who he calls Chii) and Louis, the eighth son in the Asahina family. It is never explained why, or how Chii came across him or how in an episode, a single episode, he becomes human because why the hell not, I guess??? (Also, he is pretty. YES. I said it. Fight me.) [Quick Spice intervention, this squirrel can talk to people, transform into a human, enter dreams, and live way longer than a squirrel should since the average lifespan of a squirrel is like 6 years in the wild. Juli is apparently a god as none of this is EVER explained.]

And when she meets the Asahina family, it’s pretty much immediately chaos because these heterosexual (I guess? They look like a bunch of twinks to me but there goes anime trying to convince me that straight people are real and not a lie made up by Trump) men have NEVER and I mean NEVER known a woman in their entire lives, since they seem to want to bang their stepsister immediately. And most of them are GROWN ASS ADULTS. Only three of them are actually minors (though Iori is 18 and only one year older so I guess??? It’s okay??? But still weird) and one of them is a 13 year old who looks and acts like he’s 8.

Oh, and did I mention that out of these boys, only the adult triplets and the abusive asshole 16 year old get any kind of characterization AND character development? I mean, Subaru gets an “arc” if you can call it that, but really, they don’t give him much... personality. You could replace him with a cardboard cutout and it’d be the same. I feel bad for him (but not really because dude you are 20 and she is your sister, what the fuck--)

But if there’s anything good about this anime, it is the characters themselves. Several of the boys have redeeming qualities and interesting personalities and quirks, as well as interesting relationships and dynamics with each other. Yes, some of them are lacking in the plotline department while others may have decent plotlines and lack personality, and then some of them are just given absolutely nothing (COUGH Masaomi COUGH Ukyo COUGHCOUGHCOUGH Iori, and by the way, what the fuck is that game plotline bc I read the wiki since I wanted to know more about him. We don’t have time to unpack the mento illness luv. But you’re telling me they had all this meat to work with and they threw it in the trash and gave him nothing? What the hell?) And if anything, I feel as if the characters themselves are crippled by the plotline. If given a different story, perhaps, they may have room to shine, because a lot of them are compelling if not lovable (though some may not be... lovable. COUGHFuuto, at least not for me.) If you want to see our review on the characters, we’ll put out another post.

Iori... Iori has a hell of a plot in the game, according to the Wiki but I can’t blame the writers for not exploring all of it because whoa. It is dark and not in a good way. But back to the subject at hand... I agree with Spice. I do/did like quite a lot of the characters... provided the entire romantic plot is taken away but we will go into more of why the plot is problematic below. All I can really add is: There is a baby in this dumpster and canon has been taken out back to be shot like a lame horse.

This brings me to a point in which I would like to pause the character discussion and bring up a glaring flaw with this anime in general (aside from the... plot. Look, I’m not a huge fan of weird stepsibling stuff but I think that if you want to do something like that, there are ways to do it and ways not to do it. This was the way not to do it, which I’m getting to). The biggest thing that made this anime so uncomfortable was the imbalance of power dynamics. Why is the protagonist 17 when most of the love interests are 18 and older, and I mean much, much older? And she’s not any 17 year old... she’s a lonely, neglected girl who is starved for the love of a family. This makes her easily manipulated by the brothers, who clearly desire her for less than wholesome reasons, and that makes it skeevy. I’m not sure why there’s such a fetishization of nonconsent in media, as if it’s fine for as many men to lust after female protagonists as the writer desires BUT the woman can’t want a single one of them in return. It’s creepy, and quite frankly, I am very much over it. I also get that the age thing is probably a product of the protagonist of a teenager oriented dating sim not translating well to an anime (because really, all otome game MCs are meant to be a neat little pair of shoes for the player to imagine themselves in), but why are we fetishizing a teenager being groomed by adults anyway? Especially adults who have this much power over her to begin with? The power dynamics bring this plot from “Oh, this might be kinda trashy but it could be entertaining” to “This is extremely creepy and rapey and kind of a dumpster fire.”

This is also true. If we were to take age into consideration, Fuuto, Yusuke, and Iori would be the three candidates left for Chii. This is taking out the youngest as well, who is... thirteen, I think? But anyway, (I know I am probably going to get some hate for this but go for it), I am into stories that explore the stepsibling thing and it can make a good narrative-- but before everyone gets uppity: There is a line between FICTION and REALITY and I do not condone real life incest but a story is a story and there are ways to frame it that make it clear that it is not a romantic thing, or acceptable. This anime does not do that in it’s dynamics because some of the brothers do start off in that very firm caregiving, family role and it is a sharp turn into romance that makes you go, “?” or in Fuuto case, a blending that does lean into fetishization.

All in all I think the plot maybe could have been okay? I’m not saying it isn’t problematic, because we all know it is, who are we kidding? But I don’t think it’s wrong per se to explore family dynamics with romance and to understand where the line should be drawn, and maybe exploring the definition of family itself. I have seen fanfictions with similar tropes ask those questions and explore the concept beautifully without romanticizing or fetishizing incest and unhealthy power dynamics. It could have been good, and I get that perhaps I’m barking up the wrong tree by expecting mature themes in an anime based on an otome game, but it also could have been a lot less... creepy (I have used that word so much that it looks wrong now) even if it wasn’t the greatest thing ever. But again, what was I expecting? I watched this whole thing as a joke and ended up attached to the characters like a fool... That tends to be a trend here, and this is why we are so salty all the time. So anyway, stay tuned for our review of the characters! We may not cover all of them since some of them don’t really get anything, but we’ll cover what we found interesting.
