Okay with the Mako comic, the cover has a photograph of his parents on the front. Which means the comic could be about his parents deaths in some way

If it is (and seems likely!) then I’m happy. It’s something that needs fleshing out. I do like Legend of Korra and thinking it’s an interesting mess that is flawed and is interesting and is y’know, good and discourse over exaggerated it’s faults and cannot comprehend looking at a story as a whole. But it’s so weird to have a main characters parents butchered by a fire bender and then it’s hardly touched on again. Like they do not really ask the question how that would affect a child firebender’s psyche, or how he could grow from that. Mako’s growth in Book 4 is linked back to his ex-girlfriends, which I’m fine with, but Mako’s other story was always so incomplete and unexplored.

ANYWAY that being said’ the fact that this Mako comic having a family photograph on the cover and being linked to a ‘mystery’ does give me some pause; I’m not that interested in Mako and Bolin’s parents being linked to a mystery or conspiracy. Just because I’m tired of the Avatar franchise linking characters to important parents or them being the most exceptional benders. Mako and Bolin being random nobodies who became great benders as a means to survive is one of the reasons I do like those characters a lot. So there’s a chance that if his parents deaths are part of a mystery, then there’s some elevated importance ‘politically’ and GOD zzzzzz not what I want to see.

Basically I don’t want a story about Mako’s parents death and the lore behind it, what I want is a character study of Mako, his feelings a out his parents deaths, with some dumb adventure plot thrown in. But what I want might not be what I get, and I will still buy this comic. Surprise me, Bryke

genuinely why is there so much misinformation about the guardians of childhood book series?

[kandicon]

Actually I really wanna write a role reversal gerrymichael au and let me be so, so transparent when I say it is literally just bc I wanna fantasize about the tall, gangly blond man beating monsters to death

Everyone else has the same roles. Mary Keay is still Mary Keay in all her abusive and obsessive glory; Gertrude is still the Archivist.

Vaguely spiral aligned Michael who Does Not Like It. Pretends his connection is a hell of a lot looser than it is.

The only benefit (that Michael thinks of the Spiral) is how he can move around the Institute with relatively little interference and watch, after all, it is hard to behold something that is both nothing and everything and never was all at the same time.

Gerry ran away from home really young and actually succeeded. Spent a few years fucking around and learning what kind of benches are best to sleep on before applying to the Magnus Institute because that's what his dad did. He lied to hell and back on the application, but was hired quickly because of how thoroughly touched by the entities he was (thanks Mary) and Gertrude was running low on assistants. Gerry also felt completely justified in faking stuff and that he was perfectly qualified bc he grew up in a bookshop and how much different could it be (very different, as it turns out).

They first meet each other when Michael is prowling through artefact storage like it was a shopping mall, and pocketing everything he saw that didn't immediately mesmerize him. He was nervous and jumpy as all hell, even though this was not the first time he's done something similar and he's fairly certain Gertrude doesn't care, so when Gerry first spotted him from behind, he was immediately suspicious even before he saw Michael try to shove a lamp into his jacket pocket. This led to an altercation that eventually led to the lamp being accidentally turned on, Michael smashing it to pieces with a hammer Gerry had not realized Michael had, and Gerry suddenly being a lot more consciously aware of the supernatural than he was.

Gerry's mother was still obsessive over Lighteners, and she didn't make an effort to hide what she did, but she didn't actively try to educate Gerry on anything to do with the Fears. So he is fairly knowledgeable on the supernatural, but he doesn't know anything concrete about the Fears themselves and their categorization. The role of a stand by sacrifice instead of an errand boy and heir.

Michael still trusts Gertrude, but this time he knows he shouldn't and hates himself for it. Gerry wants to trust Gertrude, and she does hide him from anything Fears related and behaves around him like she did Michael in cannon, but he just feels something off about her and doesn't like it. She's just a bit too much like his mother for him to let his guard down.

Michael gets referred to by "it/its" pronouns once by Gerry as a teasing joke before Gerry fully knows what he is and is absolutely terrified by how happy the pronouns make his feel. (He thinks, maybe, that the Michael of his childhood liked something similar, too, but everything too far back is all twisted and he doesn't know what has been touched by the Spiral and what hasn't, so he doesn't trust any of it). He/it Michael ftw

At one point Michael just started putting black lipstick on himself because some of Gerry's always stuck to him when they kissed anyways n this gave them plausible deniability. Michael will never admit to the little spiral thrill it gives him when people do a double take upon seeing his face, the black lipstick contrasting literally everything else about his style.

Gabriel attempted to track Michael down exactly once, a few years before he joined the institute. He had heard about Michael's unsavory... Hobby... (<- reckless destruction of artefacts and throwing himself at all monsters and avatars he sees with a murderous rage regardless of their affiliation) but spiral avatars capable of holding a conversation are so few and far between and the Great Twisting was almost prepared, so he thought a meeting would be worth it. He showed up at a cafe Michael frequented one day expecting lovely, but tense, conversation, only to promptly lit on fire (mostly) in the back alley behind the cafe after he introduced himself. Gabriel survived, but some of his clay body still hardens unexpectedly or shows signs of firing from time to time.

Occasionally Michael's eyes will change colors and shapes, so he likes to put contacts in (he used to just use tinted glasses, but after one time of Gerry getting lost in his eyes in the far too literal, not at all romantic, sense, he decided to invest in smth a bit harder to take off and forget about). Unfortunately, this sometimes means other, very much not his original eyes will pop up around his body and in his hair as protest when he puts them in. It's not very fun to have to chase off eyes at 6am, but he does it regardless and complains the whole time about how he shouldn't have to deal with eyes when he very clearly isn't of The Eye.

Gerry: Oh hey you were running pretty late. I was starting to get worried.

Michael, not about to admit he spent an extra thirty minutes to get ready yelling and brandishing a lighter at a door that was following him around like a lost puppy: Ummmmmm I forgot my wallet. :((

[larsbarsart]

fucking.....

I might actually be insane

I have made an AU where I just. Slapped Mount Ebott from Undertale into Alabama's Appalachian Region, and Tim, about a year post Entry #87 decides to climb it for reasons I think you can figure out, finds Frisk and thinks "Well, shit, I can't just leave this actual child to die", and then falls into the Underground after Frisk

Anyways, this man is mentally ill, and due to circumstances that I've made up, he is now a father to a very stubborn ten-year-old child.

i am the nosy anon from yesterday and firstly i am so glad that i helped you find something!! how wonderful!! secondly i did some digging (typed morgan frost girlfriend into the tumblr.com search bar which is really what i probably should have done in the first place so. my bad) and the girlfriend is called taylor!

conclusion to the saga, thank you anon!!! sharing this for the sake of anyone else who was curious… they are as of july 7 dating lmao BUT allow me some points for accuracy here because taylor is definitely a different person than who i was thinking of 🤡

Seiroku telling them Tatsuomi is dead before he actually died... heart-wrenching how the only possibilities for this are Seiroku's trust in Soma to win no matter what, and/or Soma letting Seiroku know the fight's verdict moments before Tatsuomi's creature slaughtered the both of them...

I think I need to increase my posting about the locked tomb to compensate for all this wot talk and danmei discourse.

I’m Absolutely gonna work some more on my Gideon reread this week and then finish Harrow so I can finally read Nona before Alecto comes out next month.

[thetwilightroadtonightfall]

maybe this is a bit harsh but I’m just…so bored watching the a:tla live action. I don’t like it, I don’t hate it. I just feel nothing. Actually, scratch that, all I feel is the urge to rewatch the original again. Maybe that’s what I’ll do

[elegyofthemoon]

wait im silly its a gacha game of course they'd reveal the characters within the trailers themselves rather than surprise the players when you play it its how they get you 🤭

[theflyingfeeling]

still sick but alive, unfortunately 🤧

So apparently one of the next Micheline Pitt fandom collections is going to be Labyrinth! They haven't shown any pics of anything yet but I'm intrigued. I haven't seen it in a long time and have no intense nostalgia for it so haven't felt the need to go and watch it again.

But one thing I do know is that costuming in it is really interesting and I'm really excited to see what Micheline does with it.
