hiiii haha. hello. exceptionally awkward introduction bc idrk how to start something like this so let's just jump right in. im taking a break from this account for a bit. i know i said i wanted taob out before halloween and currently im fine sticking with that deadline, but if i decide i need longer away then i will take longer away. every time ive reassured people that id never abandon a fic and updates will always come eventually i never once considered that my writing and ability to feel safe and comfortable on this site would be actively taken from me, so im not even going to apologise. i dont want this either and more importantly i dont fucking deserve it. i dont know what it is in the past year, if ive hit a certain amount of followers or 'popularity' that's made it so the natural ratio of positive to negative interactions must in turn go up, but there's been a serious uptick in weird asks for me. the annoying part is that a very small amount of them are actually objectively mean and hateful, the rest are just weird and invasive from people who seemingly dont realise that's what they're being. ive reached a point where i dont care if the intentions are good. it's not my job as a 20 year old tumblr user of all things to defend the morality of someone who couldnt even bother to come off anon. unfortunately, after blocking only one or two anons, the weird asks have decreased substantially, which says all you need to know about the fascinating and exhilarating lives led by these people, but ive also gone on to turn anon asks off entirely. this is something i actively fought against doing and had to be pushed into by my mutuals (who have been the coolest people on planet earth during this entire thing). turning off anon was a big deal to me even if it sounds silly. i felt betrayed and like id been backed into a corner because it was so vehmently something i DIDNT WANT that to feel like i had to do it anyway for my own mental health??? that sucks. so even though ive 'fixed' the problem, im still kind of reeling and uncomfortable every time i come on tumblr. i hope it's just something i need time to ease because i'll truly be devastated if this becomes 'ruined' for me. tumblr exists as the only place in the world where i am honestly every facet of myself without shame or hesitation; losing that would be insanely harmful to me. and to the people who cant appeal to the actual human behind the post, let me put that in words you can understand: we wouldn't get any more writing 😦😦😦 riots and fires and sirens, i know. so yeah. to anyone who has sent me an anon ask and you're now wondering if you were part of the problem, im firmly of the belief that you'll know if you are. when i say 'weird asks' i dont mean 'you sent me a para about your personal life just to vent or ask for advice' or 'you sent me a really deep emotional compliment about the impact me and/or my writing has had on you' - i love asks like that, so much that i put off taking a break and turning off anon solely for the joy they bring me. im sorry that it might feel like you're being punished too bc of the actions of what in reality is a HANDFUL of weird people, but this is what i feel like i have to do to feel safe and not go insane every time i log in. love you guys, hopefully ill see you soon x

How does Ticcimask work in your story? I don't know if you've talked about it before, or if you're tired of this question, I just wanted to ask due to how there are so many conflicting depictions of the ship.
Depends on what you mean? If you're referring to their ages, Origin is about Tim as a teenager. It'd be weird if it was Marble Hornets, Red Flannel Tim dating 15 year old Toby (STARES LOUDLY), but this is a prequel to MH, and they're roughly the same age. The love-hate dynamic that people associate with Ticcimask works better when they're the same age, imho, and that's always been how I've seen the ship. They're rivals to each other, rather than an adult bullying a child because he's Kind Of Annoying (and mentally disabled, which. Yikes).
In Origin, they're both obsessed with each other, but for completely different reasons, and those reasons change over the narrative as their ideologies shift.
In Tim's eyes, Toby is this captivating, all consuming flame. Toby doesn't languish over what's right and wrong, what makes him a "good boy" or a "bad boy"- he does as he pleases, and demands everyone witness it. He spits in The Operator's face and openly questions the nature of their rearing and their orders, even though that hurts his standing. Though that usually pisses him off, he can't help but find it a bit admirable. Toby is very compelling to Tim, in all aspects, and he can't help but want him around even though he finds him so antagonistic. Toby understands Tim's anger at the world, and- most importantly- he validates it through his actions and reactions. At the same time, though, he challenges Tim intellectually, which very few people do. Kate tells him "don't do bad things", but Toby asks him "why?"
When it comes to how Toby sees Tim... I fear saying too much. I kind of want it to be something you interpret yourself. But I'll say that for however intense Tim views Toby, Toby views Tim three times as intensely. Like, don't ever read Toby's mind when he's thinking about Tim, you will feel compelled to Call Someone (therapist, doctor, a priest, or all three). It's very hard to describe how Toby sees Tim without using some very heavy-handed biblical imagery, because from the start, Toby has seen Tim through the lens of believing The Operator is God. You can infer from there how he might see Tim- sometimes as a messiah, sometimes as Satan, and sometimes as both simultaneously. He wants to be close to that light, but he knows in his gut that there's something deeply Wrong about it.
Despite how they are obviously Aware of each other's dangerous faults and how badly things could go, they still choose to rely on each other. Simply because that, despite everything I said above, they get along horrifically well. When they agree on something, that thing is done with brutal efficiency. They are The Operator's Boys, and they're both his Best of The Best. They complete each other in the worst possible way- they're dangerous for each other, but deadly for everyone else. If things go according to The Operator's plan, they will be exactly as Toby fantasizes: Literal Kings, sitting atop a throne of bodies and ruling the humans on Earth like apex predators.
The thing is... is that really what they want? And are they willing to do what it takes to achieve that?

Gale's Analysis: Why Gabriel Agreste is the best parent in Miraculous Ladybug
Now the candy cane man has been getting ribbed on the internet since season one. Many people are convinced he is such an awful and unsympathetic individual that they believe jail or even death is a punishment that is too merciful. I know this because I was once one of the people that believed that.
But after doing an extensive deep dive into the series I can say that not only is Gabriel Agreste a fascinating character he is the following:
Sympathetic Antagonist done right
A Genius in Fashion and Scheming
A Loving Father and Husband
The Real hero of the series
These are bold claims I understand but I will be going into detail down below.
(Fair warning, I will be discussing up to the current Season 5 episodes that have aired and if you are not caught up yet, I recommend coming back to this post.)
APRIL FOOLS!
Gabriel Agreste is a piece of s***!
Here are some images of him getting owned

There was a message on La'an's PADD. The sender was Lieutenant James Kirk.
a Lieutenant Kirk/La'an fic~ T. ~4300 words.
---
Ever since the finale of Strange New Worlds season 1, I've been (not so) low-key into Kirk/La'an, so when the trailers for season 2 dropped, I was over the moon that I was getting crumbs. I got more than crumbs~
This fic is my personal wish fulfillment, but I hope you'll enjoy it too! Before anyone brings it up, in this 'verse, Kirk isn't dating Carol Marcus.
The title is from Christina Chong's song Twin Flames. It's got Kirk/La'an vibes~

ok for fun here's some thing i thought about helluva boss before i watched it (i have now watched it):
1. i truly and whole heartedly did not know they killed people. initially i kept seeing it tagged with hazbin hotel and helluva boss so i just assumed they worked at the hotel
2. i thought moxxie and millie were background characters and probably did not speak the full show/only spoke 2-3 lines ever in the whole show max (this assumption comes almost entirely from seeing stolas say "then what's his phone number" and also the character design)
3. i assumed blitzø was like the guy who manned the front desk at the hotel
4. shortly after i watched hazbin and processed that they didn't work at a hotel i heard the imp jingle and somehow concluded that when a living person summons a demon on earth to kill someone, these were the guys that showed up
5. i had heard of loonas human form and assumed that meant that's what she looked like while she was alive, not that she wore it to go to earth
6. i thought blitzø was literally her dad and that the show focused heavily on them repairing their relationship whenever they were on screen
7. i thought fizzarolli was the unhinged clown villain of a completely different, unrelated cartoon (i assumed he was the villain immediately because he's voiced by alex brightman using the beetlejuice voice, and he's clown themed. i continued to assume this after seeing a very brief clip of the "are you ever sick and tired" fast part of fuck you, like wow the clown villain also hate capitalism)
8. i assumed it was on cartoon network and appropriate for kids (idk how i assumed this one that's on me)
9. i thought stolas was just a pompous bird man and that people just shipped him with blitzø as a fun fan thing, and that in the show they must actually dislike each other (in other words, i kinda assumed it was a radioapple situation)
10. i fully and wholeheartedly assumed all of these characters (except moxxie and millie) as a whole were just side characters that were on screen every once in a while and that i just somehow hadn't encountered the main characters of the show yet

Forgive me for waiting too long
For letting your love twist and spoil
With my neglect
Forgive me for courting you
And leaving you to rot
Forgive me for insisting on your love
When I should have given you back
As you extract your filthy vengeance
I ask
Forgive me

9 people you'd like to get to know better!
Tagged by @terribleoldwhitemen, who I think really speaks for all of us - thank you!
three ships: Captain Crozier/ James Fitzjames, the Captain/ Lieutenant Havers, Sam/ Frodo
first ship: I'm afraid it was Harry/ Hermione, back before I even knew what fanfic was. So a good 18 or so years back now 🙃
last song: Andrew in Drag by The Magnetic Fields
last film: STILL Some Like It Hot three months ago. Unless Over the Garden Wall counts as a film since I always watch it as one
currently reading: the High Society script, learning the order of scenes and songs for quick changes
currently watching: nothing really, I've been spending my evenings doing alterations. But at work I've found a guy on YouTube who reads vintage ghost stories and they're bloody excellent: he has the perfect voice for saying things like "mezzotint" and "antiquarian" and "why, that is most curious". Would highly recommend if you like a bit of cosy spookiness.
currently consuming: sad supermarket sandwich and carton of iced coffee
currently craving: half an hour ago I would have said sleep, but I don't know if it is sleep so much as refreshing rest. We start tech on Monday and it's going to be a shitter because they haven't left enough time between entrances and exits for changing lol
tagging: @theiceandbones @littlehen @tattedpetticoats @buriedsecrets @mischieffoal @shimyereh @vinceaddams @fabledquill @beingstacey if you want to!

I’d like to see people try to explain how that Ishy/Rand scene is straight actually.
I’m kidding I’m expecting it to be basically this: “Obviously Ishy knew that was actually Lanfear when he laid down beside dream!Rand and leaned in close and tenderly stroked the side of his face with such gentle sincere affection. Obviously.” Like that makes any sense at all.
