#comedic ish opening to something that isn't comedic at all

[spaceoperetta]

today I learned a new phrase!

tw suicide, long post where I talk about how awful I've been feeling

'passively suicidal.'

of all things, I saw it on a twitter post about kendall roy

and, uh, that's what I'm going through right now I'm having a bad time.

I'll be fine I'm not going to do anything but I have cried every day for the last two weeks. don't give yourself constant jaw pain by letting a new-to-me dentist file down the side of your tooth. (I needed a filling replaced early bc of pain but it was nothing compared to this, I'm so stupid and instantly knew something was wrong after, I legit got home and wanted to hurt myself, but when I called the dentist back they wanted to file more shit down to fix it and, no.)

Ways to fix it run anywhere from 'get the filling adjusted by a different, trusted professional' (done, but they can't build up what was ground down) to 'try a mouth guard' (better but doesn't fix the issue) and I guess I'll need a crown or to cope with unending pain in my jaw for the rest of my life. except they make crowns off your current tooth and it's not right! and I got a filling since then elsewhere! something I am utter shit at because I caused it by saying yes it's not like I was hit by a car

hurts to talk, no singing from me, and I still can't do all that much shit with my wrists and therefore hands because, still recovering from wrist surgery. and my neck's been hurting for two months.

going to see a new therapist next week, at least. unfortunately due to my first hand POV of my siblings extensive health issues I always think my health issues will never go away/get worse. because that's been my past two years and also my past six months

anyway turns out 'passively suicidal' is the correct phrase for what I went through in college due to my whole breakdown and it's back except I'm not in school and it's in my body and even though I know it doesn't matter, they're issues I caused myself, one way or another. (and that's what's driving me crazy with self-loathing amidst the pain)

working on fixing things but I have no energy and mostly just sit around like a lump and crying a lot. I need a routine but that's hard when all I want to do is sleep or do nothing, barely keeping on with 'massage healing surgery site 3x a day' my first one was at 2pm today.

so, uh, I'm feeling up there with said college breakdown for worse consistent feeling in life. I'm not going to do anything I just feel sad and upset and awful most of the time either that or nothing and I have successfully zoned out for a few hours watching streams or internet videos. I have trouble imagining any future for myself, career-wise, personal life-wise, anything. I've never been good at that, and granted, I've spent more of my adult life being depressed than being productive.

anyway, hopefully like the mountain goats say, there will come a day when I will feel better, but when that day's coming, who can say?

I got some prozac from my pcp but haven't started it yet due to imagined, easily resolved barriers

I just feel like if I don't fix things it'll be like this forever and this will never go away. because it's fucking jaw pain and I have to fix the bite issue. my orthodontist said my bite's always been shit and my dentist said my bite is 'perfect' and uh I believe one of the more than the other.

I've just had a lot of health issues this year and half of them were caused by saying 'yes' to something I shouldn't have and now I'm in pain and the other half were 'so you played too many videogames two years ago to distract from the desire to self harm and now you just think about how that harmed you even more than that moment of slapping yourself would have'

yes I know it's all stupid

I've been doin skirt math

Or: how to seriously overthink a piece of cloth.

I have complained repeatedly about how the Venn diagram between goth fashion and fair trade/sustainable fashion mostly(1) being two circles which are not touching. But recently-ish I've gotten into sewing and I decided that I will finally take my destiny into my own hands.

I want to make a handkerchief skirt!

It's litcherally just two squares on top of each other with a round hole in it.

How hard could it be?

(1) = I'm sure there must be some, but they are few and far between. I am exaggerating for comedic effect.

Measuring!

I decide to make my skirt roughly 40-60 cm long, starting from my midriff, meaning the distance between the middle and the sides is 40 cm and from the middle to the corners is 60 cm.

Finished, it might look something like this:

Behold, a rough rendering of the skullchicken's physical form.

Also: did you spot my first logical mistake in planning the cloth? :)

2. Planning

I plan out my pieces on a 150 cm/150 cm square, feeling real clever for dividing the second square like that. The diagonal rectangles are for the opening of the skirt and the long rectangle on the side for the tying band. I even have space for pockets! Amazing!

It's only when I want to draw in where I'll put the pockets in, do I realize that, uh, there isn't any space for them.

Cause you see, if you make a square with a hole in the middle, that means there will be a hole in the middle to subtract from your ultimate skirt length!

... my skirts a mini-skirt :c

Okay, back to the drawing board.

3. Measuring, again.

Alright! So I can fit it tightly on a 150 x 150 without the pockets and if I do some trickery with the opening, I miiiight get it all in - ah fuck, forgot about the tying band.

I could just do a 150 cm x 200 cm, but that would net me 50 euro just for the raw materials and a lot of leftovers.

I mean, I guess, but... yeesh.

4. Panels, maybe?

So I figure, hey, how about I try to take out some of the circumference and just sew it out of panels? Let's do a quick sketch on a paper towel and tape it together:

Lookin mighty cute, saltshaker.

The proof of concept works. Sadly though:

It doesn't save enough cloth to get us back to a 150 cm x 150 cm piece. Darn.

And then it hits me.

5. who needs a hole anyways?

If you think about it, the problem is the hole in the middle. But if you're putting on, say, a cloth with a slit as an opening, it would automatically become a round hole around your hip/midriff.

With a circle skirt, this would be a problem, since the resulting skirt would turn elliptical and crunch up weirdly.

... but a handkerchief-skirt already does that, kinda.

Hmm... not sure if it shakes out.

Pun aside: I'm not sure if I like this, since I can't quite tell if it'll look good when made of cotton instead of a literal handkerchief. It'll probably look symmetrical enough. I'll just have to use rectangles to keep the original measurements of 60 cm at the longest and 40 cm at the shortest.

I will however consult my mom about this, because I have learned that if there seems to be a really neat solution to a problem that no-one uses, that tends to mean there's a good reason not to use it.

... nevermind that I still can't get back to the 150 cm x 150 cm.

I might just have to die one of two deaths (pricey skirt or slightly less pricey shorter skirt *sigh*)

But in any case I feel I have learned a lot, so that's also valuable.

tangentially the seaweed product placement in Bad Buddy, 10 fave product placements disguised as flirting? 10 worst? (the bread scene from Kinnporshe haunts me, I'm too asexual for that to be anything but awkward af lol)

Another tough one, hum. Not sure I can answer this one with a full 10 list so please leave a comment with your picks either way.

My Top Product Placement Moments

Gen Y - the dance performance queen B squeezy-food offerings, they didn’t try to fight the awkward they just took the awkward and pushed it into this crazy chaos arena - but that’s Star Hunter for you. I thought it was a stroke of absolute genius.

UWMA - the lays potato chip, never has a chip been that sexy

Bad Buddy - the seaweed, same as the above only with nori

SOTUS S - the seaweed original (this was opened by a MAN), another comedic take

Ingredients - our emotional support grocery store advertisement

Lovely Writer - the pocky stick hamster of cuteness

ThanType - suki sauce weaponization jealousy

Ones I really don't like

2gether - anything to do with drinks

My School President - the chicken sandwich (sorry, it made me wince)

KP - the white bread in bed, no thank you

anyone, but mostly the pulps, when they do personal hygiene bathroom related (toothbrush, face wash, ski cream etc...)

Ones I'm indifferent to

anything makeup removal or face mask-ish

cars

resorts

That's pretty much all I can pull of the top of my head, there are more I'm forgetting but this isn't something I log in the spreadsheet so...

[opinated-user]

You know, before Lily's Steven Universe video came out, I remember watching a stream of hers where she was editing it together, repeatedly doing takes to sound angrier and angrier about things. But the thing that turned me off of her and her content wasn't that. I never believed her shrieking was genuine, I had always seen it as performance meant to be comedic. What turned me off of her was her shit talking another content creator, SF Debris. Why? Because he has always been open about the fact that while he understands what women are and aren't aesthetically pleasing in traditional senses, the only person he ever felt attraction to in his life is his wife, and he's never had any desire to have romance with anyone else. Also it took him about five years to realize he was attracted to and in love with the woman he then asked out and ended up married to.

Now, to anyone else on Earth, there's nothing offensive about any of that. While SF Debris has never used any labels to describe himself or identified as such, a lot of his viewers think of him as being on the ace spectrum. Lily, though, has one major disagreement with him, which is that her least favorite Star Trek series is his favorite and her favorite series, he calls out for dismissing murder when it's done by the good guys.

So Lily went off on a tangent when someone (who presumably didn't know Lily hates being recommended things and cannot be rational about someone else liking/disliking a thing she dislikes/likes) recommended she watch his video on the Star Trek Deep Space 9 episode Profit and Lace, in which he tears apart the transphobia of the episode and the grossness of how that episode handles misogyny and feminism, and Lily. lost. her. shit. She went on a rant about how SF Debris isn't really LGBT (he's never claimed to be) and he's lying about his supposed lack of sexual attraction and everyone wants to fuck. That's a phrase she used that really made me uncomfortable. Everyone wants to fuck. He must be lying when he says he's not interested in having sex with anyone other than this one person. It must be virtue signalling, it must be lying, it's manipulation, he's manipulating the audience by playing an unrealistic saintly persona, and the kicker, that he's probably sleeping with underage fans.

I'm not ace, but I know a lot of ace people, and I just found that so uncomfortable, this idea that they're all lying, that they're trying to trick you so they can sleep with you. I'm trans and that's what people in my country say about trans men and trans women and often nonbinary people, too. Queer people (which I count him as, even if he has not used the term for himself) aren't lying to you in order to get into your pants. Queer people aren't secret predators. If you don't like SF Debris' videos, that's fine. I dislike most of his Gundam videos and I don't think his Enterprise analyses were very good or in-depth. That doesn't mean he's lying about his sexuality so he can fuck people and it especially doesn't mean he's suddenly into children! And it's even worse in context because his twin sons are disabled and he's mentioned worrying about protecting them from predators because the stats for abuse from people outside the family are much higher for disabled kids. She saw a queer-ish man and declared him a predator even though fear of predators is something that plagues him to this day due to his kids' disabilities. She saw an ace-ish person and declared them a liar automatically.

I don't like Lily. She's still trans and bi. I don't like Keffals. She's still trans. I don't like my Intro To Buddhism professor, he's still gay. People don't become liars once you dislike them. And while I do believe Lily is a predator, that took years of evidence to make me believe, I didn't go from "I don't like her content" to "she's a pedo" because those two things are not related. Your gender, sexual orientation, romantic orientation or lack of those things are unrelated to your actions, and it is predatory action that shows us who a predator is.

That was the day I quit watching Lily's videos. The way she talked about this guy who is on the ace spectrum was so fucked up that I couldn't excuse it or rationalize it away. Because it wasn't recorded, I'm sure she'd deny it ever happened. But the way she said "everyone wants to fuck" as if it was written in Scripture or an undeniable fact is burned into my memory. It was said with the certainty that queerphobes have when they say "there are two genders" or "you can't change your gender". It was said with the same 'you're ridiculous for suggesting otherwise' dismissiveness and disgust.

Ace people, you are valid. Demi people, you are valid. If you are only very rarely or never attracted to someone and never or rarely feel romantic connections with people, that is not a lie and you are not secretly gross or bad or wrong. There is absolutely nothing wrong with someone not being into sex or romance and it's not a character flaw of any kind.

I've been noticing an uptick in TERFs and radfems saying men can't be ace lately, that that's a trap meant to lure you into sex with them. So maybe that's why this is on my mind lately. It's so much like her take on this guy that when I hear aphobia I think of Lily.

I'm not ace but my heart breaks for ace people. Just for living their lives and being honest they're viewed as predatory liars.

You'd think a trans woman would know better than to treat others that way.

i'm going to go ahead and also assume that person has never interacted with LO or spoke a word to her. that's some serious unhealthy level of projection that LO really needs to work on.

[wack-ashimself]

So, real quick, what the FUCK is 'White Noise' about?

It isn't weird to be weird. It has very detailed and specific purposes and points. What are they? I HAVE NO IDEA. It's so layered, open for interpretation, and satirical abstract that you do not know when it's trying to make a serious point or make a joke about a serious point (that we take too seriously).

It's German. SO fucking German. Sense of humor to timing to writing to fucking Hitler, German, and Germany being all kinds of focal points beyond reasoning. So either this was written by a German, for Germans, or...an american trying to do Germanic work. But it's German. What does that mean? Dry, on the nose humor (to the point if you can't tell if it's trying to be funny or bring a mirror to society). Also it does what every 'smart/witty' movie does: everybody is a fucking (well informed) genius, even the kids and by standers, and NO ONE BREATHS; they all have a cocked and loaded responses for ANYONE saying ANYTHING at anytime. BECAUSE THAT'S HOW NORMAL HUMANS OPERATE. This isn't necessarily German, but def European. And NY times asshole-ish.

Major Themes:

>Germany (in every way).

>Life, rebirth.

>Death and Entropy (GERMAN x 3).

>Programming people's minds.

>Purgatory (is a grocery store. I thought that was witty).

>Pride (and it harming you or your loved ones).

>Hope, faith, and mob mentality.

>Disasters that are impossible to avoid/be influenced by.

>Divorce, marriage, love, betrayal.

What were not major themes in any way:

>Holding the trucking company who caused the accident accountable.

>Holding the train company accountable for transporting unsafe amounts of toxic chemicals (never say to WHERE it was going either).

>Holding the government accountable for letting the above 2 get away with what they did.

Everyone is saying this is predictive programming, but I will tell you: this was an ART project. The accident and spill were more of a motivator to push the characters in the direction they were going, not a main focus of the themes. I felt like this was a movie, knowing it was a movie, seeing what they could get away with. I mean it starts with the entertainment value of car accidents in movies, and how we become numb to the reality of the violence and death of it all. And later, if an event/disaster doesn't harm enough people/the right people, the media (and in turn world) won't care about it.

THEN it ends with a WHOLE DANCE NUMBER thru the credits. That happened no where else in the movie, nor made sense compared to the rest of the movie.

So again: WHAT THE FUCK WAS THE POINT OF 'WHITE NOISE'?

It's not bad. It's good for what it is. But what exactly it is is....up for debate.

White Noise: 7.2/10. Worth the one time watch (and reading all the different background aesthetic choices you missed cuz the movie never stops with its' narratives).

ps-Best part? Probably one of the only undeniable 'that is def for comedic effect' parts of the movie (cuz again: you had no idea when it was funny or so on the nose real). He confronts his wife in the dark room by clicking on the light dramatically. But...it's unexpectedly way too bright, so he clicks it a few more times to adjust the setting, awkwardly. That was such an overdone trope, but done in a wholly new funny manner. Tho I am sure fucking family guy did it too at some point. They have no original ideas...

pps-with how it was written, acted, and overall done? This would have been a better stage play. 1000%. Few times would something be better live (and overacted). Sorry but super deep monologues (from more than one character)....aren't realistic, or regular, in a movie setting. Never feels...authentic. It feels staged. And that's where they should be...

For the OTP ask meme: 5, 6, 11 (ava/deborah)

5. What’s the one personality trait that most attracts them to each other? What’s the one physical trait that most attracts them to each other?

-Oh, it's hella cliche for this show, but their sense of humor! They speak the same language in that realm, generational references aside, and they can make each other laugh (including with jokes that other people would definitely find, at best, not funny). IMO, that combined with the fact that they also know how to get under each other's skin so thoroughly is what keeps drawing them back into one another's orbit....like too-strong magnets that know there's something right about the other one, some connection there to fly to, but that end up flying at each other hard enough to hurt again and again and again

Physically, oh hmm, I feel like for Deborah it's Ava's smile/laughter (gross, cliche, I know) BUT it's indicative of a change in Ava--she's no longer pretending to be all cool and detached and better than the "hacky" comedy she assumed was all Deborah could do; instead, she's opened herself up to seeing what I think Deborah thinks of as the best part of herself. And for Ava, I think it's Deborah's hair (natural, though she's def got some favorite wigs) or eyes because in the "sex-ish dream" she's with a Deborah who's stripped totally bare of the stage persona, much like she is as well in some of their moments of connection (like in New Eyes). (Though I think if asked Ava would say it's the legs, 100%)

6. Is their love blind or accepting? Do they overlook each others flaws and put each other on a pedestal, or are they aware of the flaws each other holds?

-Oh, no overlooking flaws here. They saw each other's worst sides before they ever even got to tolerating each other as people haha! But in all seriousness, I think we see even in the last 2 episodes of the season, the ways they can both wound each other deeply come to the fore again, and yet--AND YET--they still are there for each other in the ways that matter. Deborah wasn't gonna let Ava show up to that funeral feeling utterly forsaken, and Ava isn't about to let Deborah take this new act (and all the vulnerabilities and hurts it dredges up) on tour without her.

11. What’s the biggest sacrifice they’ve made for each other?

-Thinking canonically here (because holy shit an OTP that actually has SO MUCH already there in is just wild): Ava turned down what was once her dream job, which definitely would have come with more money, prestige, and future opportunities, because she knew she'd have to betray Deborah over it. Even with absolutely zero assurances of future employment with Deborah, she was willing to stake it all on the line to defend Deborah's honor and comedic integrity. [Insert the 'and i just think that's neat' gif]

I think the fact that Deborah broke all of her rules (never forgive, never forget, no funerals, etc.) for Ava is big, but doesn't feel like a sacrifice so much as a willingness to change. What does feel like a sacrifice, though, is her choice to put her legacy on the line for a show that Ava helped create as inspiration, co-writer, and the final push at the end. I adore Jean Smart's performance for the full final episode of S1, but there was something so raw in the way the hurt and anger mingle during their final big fight when Deborah points out that it's all a job for Ava, but it's her life. And even with all that, she opens Ava's gift and decides to sacrifice the easiness that comes with a sure thing for the uncertainty of this new act.

20 Questions: Writing Edition!

Copied from @neutronstarchild 's open tag 💙

1. how many works do you have on AO3?

31 and 1 draft

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

132,796

3. How many fandoms have you written for, and what are they?

Published? Just Inuyasha. BUT I am working on my first ever HP (Dramione) piece for Sins Week in September

4. What are your Top Five Fics by Kudos?

Puppy Kisses

Key to My Heart

An Education

Everything

Trust Fall

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to! If people take the time to comment I want to take the time to read them and reply, even if it's just a thank you and a heart.

6. What fic have you written with the angstiest ending?

Technically it isn't published yet, but How It All Started is sticking to canon "everyone dies" ending which...sucks... but even that one the reason I haven't published it yet is because I refuse to leave it at that and walk away AND I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE IT A HAPPY-ISH ENDING. Suck it, canon.

7. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

I think maybe Night Watch? Inuyasha finding safety and community makes my soul happy.

8. Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you’ve written?

I don't write true crossovers, but I do write a fair amount of AU's inspired by other IPs like my plot-of-the-Aristocat's fic Everyone Wants To Be An Inuyoukai.

9. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Thankfully no. I am a tiny nobody writing small one-and-done pieces so I don't attract the crazies.

10. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Why yes, yes I do. And mostly comedic smut, apparently XD

Sex is weird and I think keeping it weird and silly and honest both makes it magical and helps it feel grounded. I also really enjoying writing married/long term relationship smut because there's just something lovely about having a partner who you know and who knows you and you have enough experience together under the sheets to just make it work, ya know?

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but if anyone wants to please please please feel free to DM me about it.

13. Have you ever co written a fic before?

Yes! I've done a few collaborations with artists which I LOVE doing, but @kirrtash and I did my first ever true co-writing/co-plotting project together with Princess of Pies and it was SO MUCH FUN.

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

At this point it feels sacrilegious to say anything other than InuKag. They’ve been my OTP for so many years and have brought me a lot of good times over the years.

15. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

Ajisai. At this point, I’m more and more happy with it just as a one shot

I do really feel attached to the concept I had for Pt2, I’m just not sure it’s what I want to focus on and I’m not sure it jives with the published first half anymore and so IF I do go back to that plot, it may be as a separate stand alone fic.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I like to think I’m funny and produce organic sounding dialogue.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Lord have mercy transitional scenes are the worst. Getting from point A to point B takes forever and keeping the momentum going is haaaaaaaaaard.

18. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I apologize in my tags for my horrible culture mashing in my fics. I don’t think I even use the right words for clothes sometimes and I am so sorry. If other people can do it and do it well, more power to them.

19. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Inuyasha

20. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

Ahhhhh, fuck. I write things for myself first and foremost so I like all of my fics but for different reasons. Either because I like the trope or because it’s jam-packed with my own head canons or because it makes me laugh or fixes a canon issue I have… not to mention ones I’m proud of from a technical/writing standpoint…

I’m gonna say Mistakes Made At Midnight. I am really proud of that fic but it doesn’t hit a lot of the big categories so it gets overlooked a lot but I really like it. An InuParent’s fix-it where I really pushed myself out of my writing comfort zone and challenged myself and I am very pleased with the result.

A comprehensive list of all my Ghost au's

this post will be talking about all of the ghost au's ive created or co-created including talking about ghost au's from old fandom's that i am no longer in. if you want to ask about any of my au's my ask box and dm's are always open this includes the hermitcraft au but keep it to a minimum please also if any of the creator's of the characters have said that they arent comfortable with what im making ( with proof ofc) i will edit or delete what is needed to fit in the boundaries also another thing this is a long post if you just want the art go under the cut! this post will discuss how each au works and basic plot stuff about them the fandoms in this post are hermitcraft, epithet erased, and dsmp okay first things first-

my hermitcraft au (what a pity)-

On my old tumblr account I made a few posts about it along with a fanfic which never got finished due to me not wanting to interact with the fandom any more due to personal reasons and also I'm not very good at writing imo but I think I'm ready to talk about it again. Just keep in mind i will most likely not talk about this fandom ever again at least not on here again for personal preference : -) it was about season 6 Grian since he was who i was hyperfixating on at the time, being haunted by the ghosts of Sam and Taurtis, both of them from the old roleplay series' Yandere High School, and Tokyo Soul, and taurtis from Grians old-ish smp Evo. Since I never finished the fanfiction nobody but me and close friends ever got to hear the full story i had planned but now you will i guess. It was mainly just grian stressing about Sam and Taurtis being ghosts and him worrying about being crazy, though he would still join the hippies during the area 77 war he would be significantly more stressed especially when finding out that Sam and Taurtis have been possessing his body during the night, he’s more worried about Sam though because of his track record back in the other servers( yhs and ts) it was going to be that Sam (although death isn't permanent) would go on a killing spree in Grians body which would cause the area 77 guys to put him in the facility to see what's going on with him, and it didn't get further then that. My favorite part of this au much like all of my au’s were the design elements i had for it which i'll have under the cut with the other designs. Now for a rundown of how the ghost physics work in this world, in typical ghost fashion Sam and Taurtis were not able to touch or move anything, but they were able to interact with Grian, him being the only person who could see/hear/or touch them. Their only super natural abilities is being able to possess Grian.

Okay! Time for my Epithet Erased au!: Unlike what a pity this one doesn't have a name or a fanfic to go with it as said before i'm not exactly a writer but i have talked about it a bit before on this account along with posting the designs and general concept but i'll go more in depth here! As said in my original post this au was a co-creation with my best friend and sibling @brocolibean so go check bun out ^^ Unlike ‘What a Pity’ it was more lighthearted and comedy centric because it dealt with a bit more and also the original show is a comedy. This au didn't include the character’s epithets so they are all humans. This will also include talking about house each ghost died so if your uncomfortable hearing about that you might want to skip the ghosts portion Just like the original post I'll separate the story summary into 3 parts with intervals in between to talk about the ghosts. First we have the Banzai boys part of the story. Giovanni, Spike, Dark Star, Crusher, Flame Thrower, Car Crash, and Ben all decide to move into a house together so they could all easily split the rent since its close to their collage, the house, which they get for cheap, is aa very old house with sketchy history. But it's a huge house for cheap so they don't complain they encounter the ghosts very early on living in the house and they swear to figure out how they died so they can get their memory back! The ghosts, Molly, Sylvie, Trixie, and Pheonica have no memory! All they know is that there are ghosts! They are connected to the property of this house but if you where to get something- like perhaps a stone from the property the ghost is still technically attached to it therefore the ghost can go with you anywhere Speaking of- -Phoenicia Fleecity is one of the last ghosts to show herself, her body is found in the overgrown garden flowers growing over her skeleton, she is from the victorian era making her the oldest out of the ghosts though he death is the most mysterious -Molly Blindeff is the first ghost the group meets her decomposed body is found buried in the floorboards of the living room, found when gio decided that the house needed renovation and taking matters into his own hands, she died via blunt force trauma i will not be going into detail here because i'm still thinking of doing something with this au she died in the early 2000’s -Sylvester Ashling is the second ghost to show himself though he didn't want to, his body was found in the bottom of the pond in the backyard of the house in the garden. His body while it was decomposing and falling apart was still intact, bloated from drowning. Again i wont go into detail but this wasn't an accident time of death is unknown -Trixie Roughhouse is the third person to show themselves to the Banzai Blasters she is found in the bushes in the backyard her face disfigured from some sort of explosion unlike the others it seems like it was purely an accident, like sylvie their time of death is unknown Mera Salamin is the collages part time librarian nicknamed “the library witch” she started seeing her ghost after obtaining a neck bow with a blue pendant from a pawnshop she got it cause it was pretty and didn't expect a himbo to come along with it -Indus Tarbella is a ghost who is attached to the pendant and bow Mera wear it used to be his own until he was decapitated wearing it through he was properly buried he has no troublesome memories about what happened even after seeing his body he’s just happy to be with Mera Percival King is a security guard at the college and one of the best at that, she wields a story she got from a pawn shop as its her preferred weapon she takes her job very seriously -Ramsey and Zora both died by the same sword while fighting neither remember who wielded the sword, even after death they hate each other and hate being bound together even more Everyone ends up meeting and finding out they all have ghost hijinks ensue. The way ghosts work in this world is a bit strange I'll admit but it's one of my favorites. The ghosts can interact with the human world(menma style) but

they can only talk to the others who can see them (the Banzai Blasters, mera and percy) and the ghosts can interact with each other ghosts in this au attach themselves to an item or property that has someway to do with their death, the kids in the property, Indus it's the bow, and the sword duo is well, the sword Percy carries. As alluded to from before Gio and the rest of the boys end up carrying a bit of the property with them in the form of friendship bracelets four for each of them which makes 28 different bracelets so the kids can decide who to follow around for the day.i talked about how percy and Mera’s items work enough but i would like to mention that Indus does most of the heavy lifting around the library but becaus enoone else can see indus they assume she’s magical, the glowing pendant doesn't help.

The last two au’s i want to talk about are both dream smp au’s

though i've never talked about them online until now, again thanks to @brocolibean for letting me brain vomit my way through these au’s and helping me out with things i love them please check him out I'll be honest i'm so scared of this fandom so i'm afraid to talk about my au’s please be nice to me Also this is all roleplay and fiction!<3 The first one i'll talking about is the dsmp ghost hunters au Sam runs a company where groups of people hunt ghosts for money! Those groups being Phil, Technoblade, Wilbur,Tommy, Tubbo, and Ranboo Dream, George, Sapnap, Quackity, Karl Bad, ant, Skeppy, and Puffy There’s most likely more but there the only people i can think of at this moment The only canonical ghost being Schlatt This au doesn't have a proper story perse it's more about gags and stuff about the different character fighting over ghosts for money but the story stuff i do have- Sbi family dynamic is real here you can rejoice, Phil adopts Tubbo after his dad (Schlatt) kicks the bucket and fucking dies , Tubbo befriend’s Ranboo some mysterious teen who just desperately needs a job so he- and the rest of the Minecraft family help him get one- though they find out Ranboo isnt as human as he was made out to be and he finds out he’s this worlds version of angels called ender’s and he’s there to protect Tubbo and Tommy which explains why the more violent ghosts start being less violent at the arrival of Ranboo joining their team. Bad isn't human either being a demon his entire group know’s plus quackity. Quackity found out but squirting him with holy water through a water gun but don't worry he promised not to tell anyone; -) Bad and Ranboo know about each other because they see each other as their true forms The minecraft fam found out about Schlatt being a ghost through Tommy- despite Tubbo telling him not to- telling them from calling up and paying for them to investigate their own house saying “technically i didn't tell them” they ended up not getting rid of Schlatt though I'm not going to talk about how the ghosts here work because it's not super important to the plot

The second au is another ghost au where the main characters are ghosts themselves,

like the others its mainly lighthearted and comedic with dark attributes The plot surrounds the sbi family moving into a new house and Tommy finding out it's being haunted by two ghost’s. Those ghosts being Tubbo and Ranboo This au isn't fully figured out but I know that he found out he was haunted by sending a selfie to someone(possibly Drista and Purpled? Since there are only other minors who were part of the dsmp lore? But ultimately idk) and them being like “yo i didn't know you had friends” and him being like “?????” Tubbo died from a boiler exploding and Ranboo died from drowning (which are apparently my two favorite deaths) this also doesn't have an official story? It was just an excuse to make ghost designs with a bit of a story without the commitment As said before it's a sbi au but also a Dadschlatt au cuz I like Dadschlatt au’s. The main story bits i have are background stuff for Tubbo and Ranboo which ill elaborate now The house was originally meant to be just a summer home because it had a large lake in the backyard Ranboo’s family would go there often but that doesn't mean his family liked him very much because of his heterochromia, Vitiligo, and his height his family thought he was strayed from god and drowned him Tubbo died during sleep while Schlatt wasn't home either out drinking or just at work he came home to the house being partially blown up and his son nowhere to be seen he calls Puffy out of fear and she calls the cops. He moves away and most likely starts drinking a bit more. The house gets rebuilt and now the sbi live there hijinks ensue! The ghosts in this au work in a simpler manor only Tommy can see them unless a photo is taken but even then they are blurred, they can float and go through walls and their ability to touch things is limited Ranboo’s memory is worse then Tubbo’s but Tubbo’s isn’t much better.

below the cut will be designs and stuff be safe pal's- there will be minor/cartoony blood-

Hey 👋 just wanna talk about last night eps (warning: it's a long one)

Med: that scene where the cardiac surgeon headbutts Crockett, it just made me laugh so hard, it was so sudden and unexpected 😂

Fire: Kidd with her lieutenant jacket and her lieutenant shirt 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 that's all i ever wanted. I'm sad Brett is leaving (tho i saw it coming) and I'm really gonna miss Kara, for however long her break is. I hope we get some scenes with the team missing Sylvie cuz she didn't have a lot of screen time lately (just want them to show Kara some love, even if it's just a goodbye scene). Also, I'm simply bored of the OFI storyline, i didn't even cared about the case last night; they need to let it rest for a while

PD: i was on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. The way they showed Kim's feelings, how overwhelmed she was, with that camera work, the blurred vision, the muffled conversation of the team - amazing! -. Kev having Kim and Adam's back, so supportive and reassuring them they'll find Mak, that's the friendship we love and I'm glad they made sure to show it to us. Kim saying "where's my daughter?" with so much self-confidence, and Mak calling Kim "Mom" 😢😢. The moment Platt arrived to the building and went straight to Kim i almost cried cuz her first priority was to make sure she was okay. And the fact that Kim told Adam Mak was her daughter, how hurt Ruz looked, i just know that conversation isn't over.

To put it in a few words: loved PDs episode last night, it was exciting, full of adrenaline, so emotional!! And Marina and Paddy delivered really powerful performances 👏🏻👏🏻

Sorry for the long rant 🙈🙈 a lot happened last night 😆

Hi!!! I literally never get long asks ever so this is fun:

Med: I caught the last 20 ish minutes of Med and it was so worth seeing Crockett get head-butted because it was weirdly so funny. The guy thought he did something with that but overall it was just hilarious.

Fire: I didn't know how much I needed to see Stella Kidd with a Lieutenant Jacket until I did, and it was literally glorious. Our girl is running her own team now and it feels so right for her.

We saw how much being away from Casey is really affecting Brett even though she's put up a good front; it was naturally going to come crashing down at some point. I hope going to spend real quality time with him is what she needs because the woman looked so sad. I loved that Violet and Stella were so supportive and were there for her because that trio is so amazing. Women supporting women is something so important to me so I was really glad to see it.

I think the OFI case was fine, I don't really have any strong feelings on it either way other than I don't really mind it all that much?? Other than the fact that Seager just annoys me because they've taken her character which had real potential into just fawning over Kelly Severide every chance she gets. I want to like her, but the writers need to give her something new and different, enough of this already.

Also, Squad 3 trying to get a boot on Cap's bald ass head??? The comedic highlight of the season right there, and honestly one of my favorites ever. I have watched it no less than 15 more times and I die laughing without fail.

PD: Oh where do I start with this... That episode was a doozy, even though we kind of knew this I wasn't prepared to feel every emotion Kim and Adam were feeling for a solid hour. The crew really did a fantastic job on this one by making the camera work mimic the feelings they were going through and it 100% made us the viewers feel more connected. That Burgwater moment made me cry because those two have such a tight bond that it hurt so much. When Mak called her "Mom" I seriously had my mouth hanging open and I could not believe it. The look when Kim realizes what she just said???? Priceless.

I'm positive that Burzek is in some real trouble. The way that their relationship ebbed and flowed within one hour was kind of astounding. To being each other's rock, to screaming at each other in frustration and fear, and then sitting on Makayla's bed silently communicating everything they couldn't say out loud. By the end, you could see the guilt seeping out of Adam, and I think that's why he walks away. He lead with his heart instead of his head, it could have ended badly, and now he feels like he's not good enough for both of them. Kim and Adam have a lot of talking to get through this because there is no way this isn't going to be an uphill battle.
