TFO Actor AU Episode Three

Hobbies

Orion Pax: My hobbies? Well, I'm actually a lot like my character, a huge history nerd. Going to libraries and museums, checking out monuments and memorials... And I may or may not have snuck into places I shouldn't have to get more info...

D-16: Yeah. And just like in the movie, I get you out of trouble.

Orion Pax: I really do owe you... anyways, I also like cooking! Not sweets though, literally anything other than sweets. Not that I don't like sweets, just...

D-16: Any sweets he makes taste like dirt. He tried making cupcakes and almost burned down the kitchen.

Orion Pax: My fiancé won't even allow me to attempt to make sweets.

D-16: No need to talk about me like I'm not right here.

Orion Pax: I know... just wanted an excuse to remind people we're engaged... oh! I also like soccer. Though, sometimes I kick too hard. Like the time I nailed Elita in the face with the ball... didn't end well.

D-16, snickering: Didn't she break your arm?

Orion Pax: She broke my arm, yes.

D-16: Anyways... my hobbies now. I'm a collector of merch... specifically Megatronus merch. Yes, I am still a Megatronus fan in real life. I have a whole spare room for the stuff...

Orion Pax: You're such a dork!

D-16: Takes one to know one.

Orion Pax: Got me there.

The two giggle before D continues

D-16: I also make sweets. I'm the opposite of Orion, sweets are all I can make. Yet, ironically, I'm not much of a sweets person. So usually I just make it for others.

Orion Pax: We really are meant for each other...

D-16: Let's not get too sappy on camera, babe... lastly, and you're not gonna believe this... meditation. I meditate.

Orion Pax: He meditates.

D-16: I can absolutely be an aggressive person at times. So Alpha Trion suggested meditating to calm down. It actually does help, so I do it when angry or stressed or upset... you get the gist.

Orion yawns and leans on D, head on his shoulder.

D-16, chuckling: Looks like it's time to get some rest.

Orion Pax: Noooooo...

D-16: We can cuddle while we curl up together~

Orion Pax: ...fiiiiiine.

D and Orion start walking out. Orion ends up nearly falling over in his tiredness, so D scoops him up to carry him home.

---

Elita-1: My hobbies? I've got a few... gymnastics being one of them. I'm pretty agile, so it's right up my alley, you know?

B-127: I've seen her do some crazy scrap in gymnastics.

Elita-1: Oh yeah. But that stuff is super advanced takes ages of practice.

B-127: How long have you been doing it?

Elita-1: I've lost track... anyways, I also do boxing.

B-127: Anyone could have guessed that one, considering how often she punches people. Good sport for her, huh?

Elita-1: Oh, shut up, you little yellow pest.

B-127: Rude... but yeah, she is good at it, I go to all her matches to show my support, just like how I go to Orion's soccer games to cheer him on and D's conventions to help him carry stuff!

Elita-1: You are still a little pest at times... but you know we appreciate that, we appreciate your support. You're a good friend, B...

Elita pats B and B giggles.

B-127: Awwww, you do like me!!

Elita-1: Shut up before I take it back... anyways, I can't really think of any more off the top of my head... you can go, B.

B-127: Ooooh, okay, my turn! First off, I'm a huge techie! I love working with technology, be it repairing things, building my own inventions, stuff like that!

Elita-1: We rely on him to repair our scrap so much... but he always yaps our audials off as he repairs things.

B-127, giggling: I do talk a lot, huh? Anyways, this isn't limited to regular tech stuff, either. I also love building things in general with whatever I can get my hands on. One of the rooms in my house is an entire advanced Lego city, complete with working stoplights and a remote control train.

Elita-1: Seriously? How long did that take?

B-127: Dunno... anyways, lastly, I like drawing! Mainly just little doodles, nothing much.

Elita-1: You probably draw like a sparkling.

B-127: Hey!

Laying on my couch, thinking about turtles ~ Analysis BWEUH!?!

[Don't question this shot: I just love it, okay?]

Okay, so... I've had this thought on and off my mind for a while now, but actually just made the complete connection now, for some slow-brained reason...

The turtles each have their own mystic abilities they're strongest in and the most skilled at.

Donnie - mechanized tech projections (creating anything techy within a second; whatever he thinks of, becomes real)

Raph - self projections (a way of putting himself into his fights more; whether it be smashing or shielding)

Mikey - self extension (imaginative creativity dialed to 100~ I have no clue how to describe his skills aside from what he calls 'Razzmatazz')

Leo - portal/teleportation (he uses to control layouts and setup: very reminiscent of chess for some reason)

These abilities aren't the only things they can do, but it's their strong suits.

Something this show has liked to try hammering into the characters' heads is that they're strong, yes, but they're stronger together. Each of them is great in their own feats. but with their team at their side, they can push boundaries and break limits.

My point is: the show and movie, alike, show us the others can pull off other stunts with their mystic-ninpo-stoof, but only if they have the support from their team to back them up.

S2 Finale: Part 3

The others immediately run in to save their brother, while Raph is completely unbothered: he's got full trust and faith in them.

(Raph is the one with the ability to project himself; use himself as the shield or catch them when falling.

Which he's done on multiple occasions.

S1: Bug Busters

Rise Movie

Raph knows this ability is his specifically, but that doesn't stop him from knowing his brothers (even without their own powers) would do anything to protect him in return.)

S2 Finale: Part 3

(Kamehameha anyone?)

And the others do save him; not only getting their powers back without any help from mystic weapons, but they pull off something that we've only ever seen Raph do up till now. Of course, it's not completely stable, and is a combined effort of all three of them, but they still manage to do something they're not uniquely able to do on their own with some help from their brothers.

Could they pull something like this off on their own? Maybe? But who's the say the result won't be worse off?

Rise Movie

When Leo ends up trapped in the Prison Dimension trying to stop the Kraang, Mikey refuses to believe that's the end for him.

Arms outstretched, Mikey tries to open a portal just as Casey mentioned his future self had done to send Casey back. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to him, his future self had given his everything in creating that single portal to send Casey back. Except, this time, Mikey has his brothers to back him up, and that's what they do.

Sure, Mikey drove this one, but he would've undoubtedly died if he'd done it solo. Donnie and Raph stepping in to help was the sole reason this didn't either fail, or end with Mikey taking Leo's place in death.

When working together, Donnie, Mikey, and Leo managed to do something only Raph had been able to do. And in a paralleling situation with Leo and his 'waterfall stunt,' Raph, Donnie, and Mikey were able to create a portal to save their brother; something only Leo's been able to do.

They each stand strong in what they do and know, but they can't do everything; they need each other. That's the whole point: they're stronger together.

Even in the bad future timeline, and Mikey's doing all sorts of mystic stuff, he's floating and creating his chains from nothing; basically, not needing his physical weapon anymore, but even with all this, he doesn't do anything that would suggest he's mimicking his brothers' powers and the first moment he does...

it kills him.

Their mystics have always had me curious. What it is they do and how they work. [I've read a very interesting post regarding Leo's mystics here, and I couldn't stop thinking about how each ability might work.] And really thinking about how they'd be able to grow in their powers, but even as Casey had told them their mystics were on a whole other level in the original future, it's clear, even as the greatest mystic warrior, not even Mikey could mimic his brothers' powers without it tearing him apart. Not even Leo, as the world's greatest ninja and leader of the resistance, could do or know everything. They need their team to back them up, even if it's not mystic related.

Even when they're all fully grown and plenty experienced and knowledgeable in what they do, they still need each other in order for things to work. We already know how things would go if they don't. There's a whole other timeline standing as proof.

Thankfully, we don't have to worry about that timeline becoming reality in this one. [They even gained family here! No one can stop them now!]

*I know this seems like a point-blank thing in the show/movie that it really doesn't need mentioned or pointed out, but it took me a bit to really think about the detail of the others being able to use the same abilities as each other as long as they have support. This is purely for anyone who hasn't had that click yet, or for anyone who wishes to share their thoughts as well. It's a neat thing they managed to tie into the series, and I love it!*

HIHIHI 🦐 ANON AGAIN IM SO GLAD YOU LIKED MY HC 🥺 i have so many omg

im assuming that there's not a lot of food sources available for taco so by this point she has gotten used to going about her day with very little emergy/feeling hungry, she would forget to eat a lot (or purposefully not eat to "conserve food" for others/for more difficult times) and mic has to remind her a lot

taco has probably gotten decently good at living in the woods and making do with stuff because assuming she has scavenged for food or whatever in that forest she could be growing her own food or actually hunting

she's probably semi-good at tech stuff, near test tube's level if not just as good (when she first acquires the invisibow it glitches out/breaks after a few tries but then later on it just never breaks once ? which leads me to assume she fixed it up/improved it somehow.) also the other 2 invisibows had to come from somewhere (the one knife broke and mic/mepad's bow)

she probably has a hoarding problem XD

i think i read a post of yours mentioning she has insomnia because of the forest but consider. she has insomnia because she has to stay alert so she doesn't get caught by the other contestants/anyone in general while she was living in the woods (if you already mentioned this before ignore it HAHA i am so forgetful)

ok that's all the hcs i can remember for now 💛💛 i love reading your posts and i love taco

OMG HI AGAIN SHRIMPY!!! 🦐🦐🦐🦐 I am going to call you shrimpy that is your name now. Welcome back and thank you for returning with more headcanons!!!!^^^^^^

TACO ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT EAT MUCH!!!! I've asked Justin about it, I've discussed (and your second hc for that matter!!) with my buddy @based-and-uncouth, I love this hc so so so much!!! Taco does NOT have easily access to good food sources in the woods!!! She has to conserve what little she does have, and combined with how harsh living in the wild is on one's body, and how small she is, she is unhealthily thin and generally unwell!! She would definitely keep those habits post-canon even when food is more plentiful!!! She just can't shake that fear so easily, yeah? Not to mention, after a period of starvation, a person has to up their portion sizes slowly so they don't make themselves sick!! Even if she wants to, she just can't start eating full portions right away!!! Mic would absolutely remind her to eat and help her out with getting her weight up <3.

And she absolutely has a range of survival skills after her years in the woods!!! Post-canon she would be pretty vital to building up their community, even if not everyone really trusts her, because she knows the most about the terrain, where to bathe, where to find food, and most importantly what food is and isn't safe to eat!!!! I'd imagine like, OJ or something trying to go out and make food on his own without consulting Taco, and then vomiting for a few hours because he used something unsafe in his dish. Lesson learned.

I LOVE HER BEING GOOD WITH TECH!!! Definitely not at a test tube level, it doesn't come as naturally to her, but she's a smart cookie (or a smart taco, I suppose) and could figure plenty out I'd bet!!! I believe she steals the other invisibow for Mic at the same time she steals her black one, and the other one we see in the beginning of episode 15 comes from a box of Testy/LB's things, so I think she just made another one after she "lost" the other two. But Taco does mess with Mepad's teleportation, and even if she doesn't manage to disable his own teleporting, she does enable herself to teleport, which I'd argue is more impressive. Techy Taco my beloved!!!

She would have a hoarding problem!!! Not sure if you meant items or food, but either way I'm with you. I made a post about her hoarding food a while back, so I'm just gonna talk about her hoarding stuff!!! Because Taco has pretty much nothing!!! The only possessions of hers that we see are ones she steals!!! Every resource she can get her hands on is important and must be kept!!! And she'd keep this mindset post-canon, even when she's hoarding pretty objectively useless stuff!!! Mic might help her out with this one too, helping Taco remember that she'll have all her needs met now and that she isn't in any danger <3.

I thiiiiiiink I did mention that when I was talking about her insomnia? But maybe I didn't!!!! Either way I will NOT ignore it because you are right!!!! 🎤 shout it louder anon!!!!! Taco is on constant alert in that forest which makes it very hard for her to sleep!!!!! She does NOT want to get caught!!!! I imagine her worst night is the night after Knife finds out about her and Mic's alliance.

Barbenheimer: Twisted Wonderland

Did they see Barbie or Oppenheimer?

Riddle saw neither just because he's not a fan of movies. However, Cater convinced him to see Barbie and he actually enjoyed it a lot.

Trey saw Barbie because both of his siblings wanted to go. He also went to Oppenheimer by himself because it looked somewhat interesting, but he liked Barbie more.

Cater saw Barbie because she's a girls girl of course. He originally just wanted to see it because he thought it would be cute, but he had an absolute breakdown over the ending.

Ace saw Oppenheimer because that's the more "manly" one, but he lowkey understood none of it. He only went to Barbie because some friends (*cough* Yuu *cough*) dragged him along. He'll never admit that he liked it.

Deuce saw Oppenheimer because he was interested in the more technological aspects like the bomb mechanics, but it wasn't his thing. He doesn't go see Barbie just because it's not his prefered genre, but he still respects it for what it is.

Leona sees Barbie because he's chill like that, plus Cheka wanted to go with him. He purposely avoids Oppenheimer because it sounded boring to him and he's not gonna pay for a nap when he can sleep at home.

Ruggie saw both. He was Oppenheimer first with the intent of watching Barbie after as a way to cheer himself up, but he cried more for Barbie and regretted not watching it first instead.

Jack saw neither because he's not the type to watch movies at a theater, but he does plan on watching Barbie with his sister once it comes out on DVD or a streaming service.

Azul claims he watched Oppenheimer to look cool, but he lowkey went and saw Barbie. He cried the most out of anyone and refuses to admit it.

Jade saw both. He admits to liking Oppenheimer more, but he appreciates the message and story of Barbie, and the vibes were much better in his opinion.

Floyd saw Barbie. Jade tried to convince him to watch Oppenheimer as well, but Barbie was more fun than a movie about "some dumb bomb" according to Floyd.

Kalim saw Barbie and started sobbing the moment it got even a little sad. Also, Allen was his favorite character and he refuses to elaborate when asked.

Jamil saw Oppenheimer by himself and Barbie with Kalim. He enjoyed Oppenheimer more, but that might also be because Kalim wasn't there to talk throughout the entire movie.

Vil saw Barbie because of course he did. He was probably attended the premier and had a great time watching. He did contemplate watching Oppenheimer, but decided against it upon hearing reviews.

Rook saw both. He enjoyed the story of Oppenheimer more, but he did like the vibes and messaging from Barbie. He probably liked Ken a little too much and Vil probably needs to stage an intervention of some kind.

Epel saw Oppenheimer for the same reason as Ace. However, Vil forced him to watch Barbie as well, and he did end up liking it more than he thought he would. Unlike Ace, he has no problem admitting this.

Idia saw Oppenheimer for the fun techie stuff like Deuce, and saw Barbie for the fun girlypop vibes like Cater. By saw, I, of course mean he made Ortho bring his tablet to both so that he didn't have to leave his room.

Ortho saw both because of the reasons above. He enjoyed Barbie more, but he thought both were really good and did a great job of achieving what they set out to do.

Malleus saw Barbie because Lilia dragged him along. It wasn't his favorite movie ever, but he appreciate it and learned a lot about human culture because of it.

Lilia saw Barbie because Cater and Kalim told him all about it and he had to see it for himself. Naturally, he drags Malleus, Silver, and Sebek along.

Silver saw both but fell asleep halfway through Oppenheimer because it started getting boring. He almost fell asleep during Barbie, but Lillia kept him awake.

Sebek saw both. Lilia dragged him along to see Barbie, which he liked fine, and he saw Oppenheimer with Silver, which he liked more.

(Had to repost because Tumblr hates me 🫠)

Oooo, now this is different! 👀 Thank you for my final requests of the year! I hope I fulfill them well. I hope you have a wonderful new year, sweetie. ❤️ Now let's see what I can do now...

NSFW down below! (With slight plot cuz why not?)

𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭

Chris has worked hard to get where he is in life, so hard in fact that he never had the time to actually find himself a girl and settle down. His whole world was company which he busted his ass to raise. But then, at a launch party for a new app that his company developed—his latest prized possession—he meets you, a 20-something student who worships anything tech related.

You were filling in for a sick friend, reporting everything that went down before your eyes. Your friend was just going to let it go and accept the bad grade, but you practically begged for this opportunity to meet the man behind the art that his company produced.

It started with a firm shake of a hand, a few smiles here and there as you asked your planned-out list questions that your friend had gave you, though more bashful than said friend intended them to be asked. The chemistry was thick. Not only did Chris see a hint of what he once was (just some little tech nerd with big dreams) but a beautiful young woman with potential to do amazing things... For him.

Ohhh, things move fast in this relationship. Between your worshiping tendencies of all he does and his adoration for your curious nature, you two are inseparable fast. Before you both know it, you are moving into his 4-story home and building your lives around each other.

Ahhhh it is great living with each other, being able to see each other and touch each other 24/7. Practically your relationship is tech talk, video games, and earth-shattering sex. Mmm, the sex of a 30-something year old man. Experienced, but not burnt out. Chris may have not had much time for girlfriends, but he had a few one-nighters with colleagues. He new his stuff.

He loooooves it when you put on his glasses as he fucks you. Sometimes he puts in contacts just so he can see you better when you do it. It's like in a weird way, it makes you more his to see you wearing the one thing he wears every single day for basically his whole life.

He has some strength to him, so he really enjoys lifting you up as he rails you. He takes soooo much pleasure in showing off his strength to you. His absolute favorite is lifting you off your feet and pinning you hard against the wall, all while grazing his teeth against the shell of your ear while he whispers:

"Mmm, little girl. You love the way I hold you, yeah? Good, because I don't intend on letting you go."

He will record you. In fact, the man has probably 50+ hard drives and files on his computer just of pictures and videos of you being oh, so good for him. It's actually impressive how much he has of you. But he is careful. He would never dare let anyone see them. You are his girl, and his girl only.

One thing that always low-key bothered him was his stomach. Yes, he has some strength in those arms and legs but that middle area did go a little soft somewhere along the way. Though he is pleasantly surprised when he finds that you love it. He has dozens of recordings of you kissing and dragging your nails along his pudgy little tummy, until you find the waistband of his boxers. You love how it pushes out his happy trail just a little bit, so you can bury your face into it as you suck him off.

My oh my, is he everything you ever wanted in a man. And you are everything he ever wanted in a girl. He will spoil you rotten with all the techy things you want. And eventually, once you are educated enough (don't worry, he helps you along) you will get a job—any job you desire at his company. He secretly just wants to see you all day so he can chat and fuck you any time of the day.

You're his everything, his little tech angel. He adores you to pieces because you appreciates you so much. You will never have to want for anything ever again just as long as your older, rich nerd of a boyfriend is here for you. You're that small little slice of heaven that he always secretly wished for in his busy life.

𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭~𖹭

ZAHRI BIG BRAIN COMIC SUPREME. I HOPE YOU ARE DOING WELL

I am curious here--what would you chose Tim Drake's college major to be? And this assumes he finishes college, and doesn't do a 70s Dick and drop out.

There's two significant questions here: what would Tim be interested in studying, and what would he be bored by?

A general list of things I am aware Tim's interested in:-

Mechanical engineering (hello cars)

Forensics (Tim was the lead on the Wayne Corp forensics lab)

Biology (hello cloning lab)

Social work (Neon Knights, also would be handy adjacent to the Foundation)

Computer Science (He's the next most techy Bat after Barbara)

There's also the possibility that Tim would go for a general Business or Arts degree on the basis they tick the boxes to 'have a degree' and nobody would question why one of the Wayne kids got, in terms of working for the family business, and they'd be far more flexible than the mostly science and engineering list above, which has higher, more structured contact hours. If he's simply getting a degree to say he has a degree to tick that box, he could assemble the most random collection of subjects in say Arts for his own entertainment.

However, one particular science/engineering crossover that pops out at me as both relevant to Tim's superhero interests AND excusable cover in his civilian life: biomedical engineering.

It matches nicely with Drake Industries being in 'medical supplies' in terms of a cover story for why he's interested in it, should anyone ask (tribute to my parents etc etc). Wayne Enterprises/Waynecorp does materials research and biomedical work which is partly Thomas Wayne stuff and partly cover for Batman research stuff. Some of his cloning background could tap in here, equally his computing skills. It would also be a job where the amount of materials engineering involved would spill over into Tim's familiarity with alien and magical materials and metals. And if he gets an undergraduate in it, Tim's got plausible deniability for knowing a whole bunch of extra science stuff on this spectrum, but could equally work as a lab tech, or in administration for a medical business, in that he's got the background to understand the products but nobody really expects him to come back with a PhD.

It just hits a whole bunch of his interest areas pretty well, and it's got a solid civilian cover reason to go into it.

[samobservessonic]

Our first story is brought to us by the guy who’s been writing all the brilliant Knuckles stories in StC so far, Nigel Kitching, with art from Mike White, who we’ve previously seen do the cover of StC issue 5 and one of the stories in the first Summer Special. White sadly passed away in 2012 and this special was his final contribution to the series - but he did do the art for all three of the stories in this special and the main one we’re starting with now is a two-parter. So let’s appreciate the hard work he put in

To open with, we’re given a scene-setting introduction to Knuckles and the Floating Island. And because I’m eating humble pie, I do want to raise my hand and admit that even though I said “Oh yeah, they basically never talk about Knuckles’s lost people after this and forget about it until the Sonic Adventure adaptation” back when Knuckles first appeared, they have mentioned his lost people in pretty much every Knuckles story and it’s been a driving force for his character. So, uhh… my bad

Since this is a Knuckles story, we’re also getting the characters who were considered his support cast at the time… the Chaotix Crew! Given that (other than Mighty) their only appearance in the series thus far is in the Knuckles game, it’s little wonder that Sonic media at the time used them as Knuckles group until they got revamped for Sonic Heroes. The interesting thing about StC is that after this special, they kind of break away from that. The Chaotix do continue to appear prominently in StC, but they end up interacting with Sonic more than Knuckles, which is how it ends up being in modern Sonic, too. That’s yet another penny in the “StC weirdly got a lot of stuff right about how the Chaotix would be written in future by accident” jar

Just in case anyone needs a reminder, Nack is what we called Fang the Hunter back in the olden days

The gang gives us a recap of what Nack’s been up to so that I don’t have to. The Special Zone is considered its own dimension in StC that we’ve seen crop up a few times before and will be seeing more of in future, but most-notably it’s the home zone of the Chaotix, so most (if not all?) of their stories are set in or around it

Anyway, Nack’s out and I guess those maps to secrets in Sandopolis Zone must be a dime and dozen, since Captain Plunder had one a while back, too

I feel like I’ve never seen it worded as Knuckles owning the Floating Island before? Knuckles the Echidna: Land Owner

Anyway, he seems to appreciate how polite Mighty is about asking, so off they go to find out what’s going on with Nack

Ah yes, we do love our callbacks and continuity in our Sonic Comics

Nack is also a sciencey/techie kind of guy in StC. I can’t remember if that’s the case elsewhere, since I’m admittedly not super familiar with his character outside of StC and a bit of Archie. Sonic Superstars is sadly still on my to-play list sob

Also, Knuckles, I mean this in the nicest way possible, but the plot forgets about those force fields half the time as well. I’m not sure when exactly this story is set (evidently before the latest Knuckles story in StC itself), but we’ve even seen a random trooper of the week badnik get past it, so I wouldn’t put a lot of stock in that force field

Also, the ghosts are here!

Oh no, they got Espio!

…But more importantly, that grants us a Mighty/Espio moment - one of the great yaoi ships of StC. See, they might be bickering rivals, but Mighty does care!

The gang out-run the ghosts into the light, where the lore from S3&K kicks in and the ghosts disappear. There’s sadly no more hand-holding from Mighty & Espio (back in my day, us slash shippers could survive on a single comic panel for years), but they do find Nack, even if Charmy thought they were looking for some other guy

The second half of this story continues on page 14, we’re told. But since I want to give this blog as authentic as experience of reading StC as I can, we’re gonna take a break here to include the other bonus in the special and catch up with this story in a couple of posts

[cornleypolytechnicgoeswrong]

ik this is a big ask but could you explain the stuff on the iceberg [https://www.tumblr.com/cornleypolytechnicgoeswrong/687078174822137858/my-proposal-for-a-mischief-iceberg-theres-so] because i'm very new to this fandom and i have no idea what most of it is referring to or any way of finding out.

Hi! Yes of course I'd love to explain this post!!!

It's a very long post so I'll put the full explanation under this cut. I've tried to provide the clips where possible and actually had a really great time going back through my blog to find all these fandom memes haha! Lmk if there's anything else you want explaining + welcome to the fandom!!! :))

Thank you to everyone who's videos/posts/compilations I've included in this post!!! And if anyone has any more context or clips they'd like to add please add them :))

1-

Winston - a dog that is supposed to be in their play Murder at Haversham Manor (The Play That Goes Wrong) but they lose the dog and run around the audience asking if anyone has seen him .

Bunk beds - In Peter Pan goes wrong there is a triple bunk bed that collapses into the actors (bbc recording of it)

Max + Sandra - one of the biggest ships in the fandom which is actually canon. They get together in Peter Pan goes wrong and their relationship develops across the 'goes wrong extended universe' (BBC ppgw video)

Snap snap guy - Dave Hearn originated the role of Max who plays the crocodile in ppgw. He said that people would recognise him in public and call him the 'snap snap guy'

2-

[Corpses corpsing] - In one of their mischief movie night in improvised films, actors that were playing dead bodies started laughing at Harry Kershaw attempting to make something that rhymed with 'amygdala' and saying 'you have the feeling like the tightening of a sphincter' which was posted by mischief on their socials with the caption 'corpses corpsing'

Doors - mischief shows always have plenty of door gags where doors won't open, break, actors get stuck in them etc etc another source

Old neighbour Joe - a character in '90 degrees' an episode of the goes wrong show where half of the set is built sideways so they see 'old neighbour joe' falling past the window outside their house

Tattoos - a fandom hunt to try and work out what Dave and Shields' tattoos are of one two three

Doctor frog - in 'harpers locket' (TGWS) max has a piece of paper on which he's written his idea for a play about 'doctor frog'

If Alchemist (guy? organization?) makes drugs and stuff could he make hrt?

Alchemist is both a guy, and the defacto head of an organization called Alchemist. Prior to starting the group with Fab and Plasm, he made his money selling designer drugs and balanced drug mixes for specific mental effects. His big break was designing a drug that amplifies techie powers. Anyone with a techie power can get some from him through purchase or trade, take it, and their powers get sharper. Techie powers are my version of tinker powers from Worm. Basically, your brain is attuned to the way certain things work, and you make tech that enables you to do things. Think Iron Man, Mr. Freeze, Doc Siesmic, etc.

Alchemist, Fab, and Plasm knew eachother prior to the creation of the group. They weren't friends or anything, but definitely aware of eachother's existence and had mutual respect going. Fab made her money with a machine shop to make car mods, fix things, produce unregistered firearms, etc. Plasm was working on cloning organs, and was getting most of his money through grants and stuff. When Alchemist finally made his first (very imbalanced) formula, he took it and it kinda blew his mind. Where before he had basic ideas about how to synthesize stuff and how it might work, he immediately knew exactly how a chemical might be made and what it would do in the body. He reached out to Fab first to ask her to make some machines so he could expand production and raise the purity. Then he hit up Plasm to see about getting some tissue samples made to test things on. The two of them dropped by his place to check in on him (he hadn't even tried to haggle them down on the price of what he was asking for) and found he had gone full mad scientist mode. Hadn't eaten in a day and a half, hadn't slept in longer, high off nearly every supply he had. When they finally calmed him down, he explained that he'd made a drug that amplified powers, and then passed out. They later helped him synthesize a more balanced version, and then all took it together and collectively freaked out.

I imagine the three of them high out of their minds on formula 2, Alchemist and Plasm absolutely jabbering away about designing custom organ/bioreactors to produce chemicals they need in large quantities, while Fab is nearly completely nonverbal, breathing heavily, and sketching a new design for a machine every minute and a half. Occasionally the two of them look over at her and ask if she can make such and such device and after a quick pause she nods and starts a new sketch. That's when Alchemist as a group really started. Three idiots getting high and realizing they're all stronger with eachother's help.

Okay so I just checked the ask again and realized I got majorly side tracked about the history of Alchemist.

Yeah, Alchemist sells HRT. Because powers are linked to high stress situations, the kind of people who have it harder tend to get more powers. So the superhuman community is disproportionately queer and thus trans. Alchemist (the guy) saw this as an opportunity to make money, as not ever mask can just go to a pharmacy for HRT. I imagine Sabrina/Mutt would get her HRT from him. But he's also very dissatisfied with the effects. There are things that certain hormones do that are not undone by the inverse hormone. T lowers your voice, but E does not then raise it. Alchemist wants to make BETTER HRT. HDG Class-G type shit. But it's a really finicky field of medicine, so it's still something he's working on with Plasm.

Thanks for the ask btw, I love talking about II. Sorry I ranted about Alchemist, they're one of my favorite things about Intrepid Independents rn. I reeeaaaally like them.

Tech Person™️ titles explained for writers

Nobody would write a plumber who fixes people’s washing machine, or an architect who checks for termites. Just because a plumber works on pipes doesn’t mean they know about every machine that uses water, and just because an architect builds buildings doesn’t mean they know the intricacies of maintaining them. That’s not their job.

Yet often times, I see TV shows and books that portray anyone who works on computers as someone who knows everything there is to know about anything that has a circuit board. Sadly, as much as most of us wish that was the case (we tend to be naturally curious), techies are often highly specialized.

To remedy this, I’m going to make a brief, broad, and slightly over-generalized list of common tech positions you might encounter. This is not conclusive, it’s just to help loosely guide you to the type of tech person who can best fit your niche. This also should come in handy if you need tech help in real life too - rather than getting bounced around between “tech people”, you can ask for the specific person/role that handles your problem. To illustrate, I’m going to use the concept of saving a document and how each role would be involved.

IT Technician / Helpdesk

The front lines of tech. Often just starting to learn the ropes, these folks often don’t know much yet beyond a preset list of requests. Even if they’re more experienced and actually DO know the answer, they probably aren’t allowed to fix any unusual problems themselves, either due to regulations or their own access to systems being limited.

If you can’t even get to the save button, because you forgot your login password and need it reset, you should talk to an IT technician.

Network Engineer

These folks handle more than the title suggests. It has less to do with connecting you to the internet (IT technicians can probably help if you can’t get online) and more to do with securing the network you’re on. They regulate access control, making sure you can get to what you need, and others can’t snoop on your private stuff. These are the people TV shows put in rooms full of rack-mounted equipment with a monstrous amount of cables.

If you need to save a file to a folder you don’t have access to(in a business/corporate setting), you should probably submit a ticket to a network engineer.

Front-End Developer

Front-end devs are the ones who write the pretty user interfaces for the programs you use. They’re the ones who put the buttons where they need to go, make them colorful and pretty, and then wire them up to the code bits that do the things you want. They often also work with a graphic designer (possibly called a front-end designer) who does the actual artistic things that then get wired up.

If you can’t click the save button because it disappeared, or because it’s half-way hanging off the screen, or you can’t tell what button is the save button because the buttons lost their icons, that’s a front-end developer thing.

Back-end Developer

These guys write all the weird, esoteric code spells that make stuff Just Work ™️. When you see people in movies with screens full of green text and they’re typing furiously, then they walk out 2 days later with a Monster in one hand and declare that they just created sentient software, that’s a back-end dev.

If you clicked the save button and nothing happened, or the file you saved yesterday opened as garbage today, that’s a back-end dev’s problem.

(Do be aware, you probably won’t interact with developers directly very often - usually the help desk people direct your issue to whomever they think can solve the problem. But, if you wonder why your back-end dev gets annoyed when people call him asking to change the color of a button…this is why)

BONUS 1: Hacker (derogatory)

This is what Hollywood loves to portray all techies as - guys wearing fedoras sitting in dark rooms with 14 monitors being asked to hack the CIA, typing furiously and then ominously declaring “I’m in” after about 5 minutes of screen time.

These people exist, sort of, but the term “hacker” is a stupid name for them. That term within tech circles, is usually reserved for something else. A better term would be “cybersecurity specialist” if they’re a good guy, or “cyber criminal” if they’re a bad guy.

Also, it doesn’t take 5 minutes. It NEVER takes 5 minutes. 5 days, maybe. 5 weeks more likely. The only thing a “hacker” is gonna do in 5 minutes is fetch data from a system they were already sitting in.

These guys, when they occasionally actually exist, are the ones who will steal your data as soon as you click the save button and then sell it online, causing you to get endless spam calls and ruining your credit score.

BONUS 2: Hacker (complimentary)

Real “hackers” are what in a fantasy setting might be known as an tinker, or maybe an artificer - someone who likes to fiddle with things, break them and put them together into something new, someone who loves the craft in all its forms. These folks are often interdisciplinary and defy the specializations I just listed above - they probably know a little bit about everything. Not necessarily enough to fix your problem, but enough to get curious about why the save button gets so many complaints, disappear for a month, and come back with an overblown solution that fixes the problem you listed, the three problems they found other people talking about online, and the dozen or so issues they found on their own as they were working.

Hope this helps!

The Clockwork Muddler

(another fanfic idea/concept/AU by me that other people can use, just please @ me and stuff I would love to know if you do)

Summary

Stumbling upon the aftermath of an accident never meant to be seen by anyone, a young Moomin(pappa) finds out that the Muddler is some sort of... Mechanical being. Moomin is completely horrified by this discovery, but before he could do anything the Muddler grabs him by the arm and tearfully begs him not to tell anyone, and that he'll do anything he pleases if it keeps him silent about the whole thing. Moomin, not being one to pass up an opportunity, agrees to this on the condition that the Muddler follows his every whim.

Tensions rise as Moomin sees him as far less of a person and Muddler tries to please him as best he could, and although they don't say a suspicious word of the incident, everyone else notices the strange change in their dynamic. It's only a matter of time before tensions rise to their heights; and that Moomin discovers another devastating truth.

Concept explanation

So basically this whole thing is an allegory that can apply to many things and it has alot of literal metaphors but if one were make too much of a detailed lore/explanation of the central concept then the need for logic would supersede the central message of the story.

To simply describe Muddler I would say he's basically a steampunk/clockwork android but not in a super literal techy way. It's kinda like the gems in Steven Universe, they are technically light robots but they still have bodily fluids and human emotions and the ability to digest food and stuff, you know?

Muddler's been adopted by Hodgkins since ages ago, they're not biologically related, but Muddler and Hodgkins still call the people who took care of him previously his "parents" and "uncle/nephew" are like petnames for eachother because they grew such a close bond.

Muddler is really janky on the inside, alot of loose ends and problems that cause him to be clumsy and overemotional and fixated on his collection. He also lost the lid for his chest a long time ago (probably back when he was still with his parents) and so his insides are constantly exposed but hidden under the layers of clothes he always wears.

The story takes place like... some time after Muddler's wedding. Moomin(pappa) is a very dumb and naive kid with a huge ego (I'd say he's around 16-17 while Muddler is atleast perceivably 21), and Moomin has alot of inexperience with the concept of sympathy or empathy due to his upbringing and what little he does have is relegated to Hodgkins, because Hodgkins is Moomin's favorite and most important person in the world while everyone else is just, whatever.

So when he finds out about Muddler with his gut gears spilled and trying to fix himself up quickly he freaks the heck out because holy crap did his reality just shatter right that moment. When Muddler begs him not to tell anybody he's still trying to process but gives into his offer because he's an egotistical brat with an unstable, warped self-image and who doesn't care about anybody but himself and Hodgkins.

Moomin gets progressively bitter towards Muddler because Muddler has this really cool uncle who's really nice to him and Joxter is also really nice to him and he already has a wife while Moomin doesn't get anywhere near the affection Muddler receives, even though he thinks Muddler isn't a real person but he himself is the realest person he's known his whole life. He is slowly inching closer to telling on Muddler anyway, and he doesn't even know that Hodgkins already knows. He even starts calling him a clock in his head to further dehumanize him.

During the height of this tension, Muddler and Moomin have a private conversation/argument which culminates into the reveal that Hodgkins knew, Moomin asks why in the world because he's already built up this bigotry towards Muddler in his head and Muddler starts getting all sentimental talking about his backstory. And then he looks at Moomin sadly;

The Muddler reached out for the Moomin's chest.

A click rung out in his head.

"Hodgkins always had a fondness for machines, you know. He seems to have this sixth sense for finding one," the Muddler said kindly. "The broken ones, most usually, we seem to be easier to spot with those ears of his."

No no no this can't be, the Moomin thought, he can't be like him!

The Muddler continued softly and sadly, "You told the Hemulen Aunt you were found in a seashell padded with velvet, yes? Excuse me, it must've been nice to be treated so gently and elegantly as a small one."

A shopping bag padded with newspaper...

The Muddler opened the Moomin's chest to reveal the dusty and rusty clockwork in him, "Oh dear," the Muddler covered his mouth, "I thought since you were so clean... Perhaps your Hemulen didn't bother..."

A thousand 'no's repeated themselves in the Moomin's thoughts, this cannot be true, he has to be a real person himself. He has to be! Because if he wasn't, then...

They locked eyes. Sincerity and concern met with earth-shattering terror. A pause.

"Oh," said the Muddler finally, "I'm sorry."

-

Moomin himself is made of clockwork, that's why he was different from the other Moomins and had those clicks in his head when he got ideas. His old Principal didn't even bother figuring out what he even is, let alone take care of him properly, his insides are all rusted and somewhat malfunctioning.

Moomin spirals and thinks that all the things he thought about Muddler applies to him aswell, that everything he tried to do since his escape are rendered null because he's not a real person and fake people can't become Famous Adventurers, they can't be liked or belong anywhere if people knew.

Moomin starts denying everything but he knows it won't do anything and he breaks down crying.

The Muddler looks down at him, feeling pity wash over him. Despite the cruelty and bitterness Moomin treated him with he can't help but feel bad for this child who had his whole world crash down on him. Muddler pats his head, and then Moomin receives the first hug he's ever had in his life.

Is Kailo the Game Changer for Pain Relief? Let's Discuss It!

So, you must have seen the ads by now for Kailo, the pain-relieving patch that works as if it were magic. And before you even ask, yes, this does look like some kind of sci-fi thing but trust me, it's not a trick!

Break it down: Kailo is a small, wearable patch. It uses nano capacitors to reduce pain. Just slap the thing on an aching spot, and voila – less pain. Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? So, was what I thinking. But hell, I'm not going to pass on a "magic patch" that is supposed to help alleviate my back pain so I don't have to pop dozens of pills in a day. ### How Does Kailo Work?

All right, things get a little bit sciency, so bear with me here. Kailo is supposed to interface with the electrical signals in your body, smooth them out, and redirect them to help mitigate pain. Think of it like having that traffic cop on your body directing those pain signals to get in the back lane. No medicine, no crazy side effects, just this teeny-tiny little patch doing its thing. Pretty cool, huh?

Why People Are Obsessed With Kailo

For starters, it's non-invasive, meaning no needles, creams, or any of that other stuff. It is just a small patch you wear on your skin. Second, it's drug-free, always a plus if you're looking to shun medication and all that popping of pills. Third, if you tend to forget to take pain medication (um, guilty), Kailo just sits there silently doing its thing.

And by the way, has anyone mentioned it is reusable? You will wear this more than once, so is it one-time wonder, no.

But Wait, Is Kailo Really Worth It?

Okay, okay. $100+ per patch is completely insane. But think about it: how much money do we throw at painkillers, muscle rubs, and those high-dollar massage chairs that never actually do the trick? If Kailo actually works-and the reviews are good enough-it's gotta be worth it. Besides, it's a heck of a lot cheaper than those crazy-expensive treatments or chiropractor visits.

Final Words: Give It a Shot.

If you are living in persistent pain and are tired of the status quo that seems to do nothing for you, give Kailo a go. It doesn't exactly feel like attaching a cloud to your body, but it just might surprise you and work a lot better than expected, at least you will have a pretty cool anecdote if it does not work out.

Kailo isn't a magic wand, but little bits of modernity really can take the edge off of the aggravation in day-to-day pain issues. Don't expect it to replace your yoga class or that good night's sleep you've been dreaming about, though.

Verdict: Kailo may not be the best solution for everybody, but for $100, it's worth testing out. If nothing else, it may be the closest thing to "pain relief" that's more techy than medicinal.

@imma-write-stuff has a blind date with...

Bianca the Ghost

Bianca is a petite and very femme ghost who appears as a monochromatic, translucent woman wearing a sundress. The hem of her dress flutters in a wind that the living cannot feel, and the edges of her form flicker very gently. She has long, curly hair and kind eyes.

Bianca isn’t sad about the fact that she’s dead, and is a very cheerful soul who always has a message of support and comfort ready. She’s your number one cheerleader and is always proud of your accomplishments and anything you create. 

She’s a techie! Although she’s a ghost and can’t access most things in the physical world, Bianca has a way of getting computer code of various kinds to listen to her desires, and likes modding video games and finding ways around paywalls. You never have to pay for a streaming service with Bianca’s help.

Bianca likes to hang out with you while you crochet or do art, and is always happy to model for your artwork. She loves seeing how your skill grows over time as you get more and more practice with your chosen crafts.

Bianca is rather shy around new people, and tends to turn invisible whenever she gets flustered and nervous. She is trying to be more gregarious and meet new friends, however, and wants to travel the world with you one day.

“That’s very pretty,” a feminine voice says by your elbow. “You’re an amazing artist.”

You look up from your sketchbook and glance around the café, but don’t see anyone nearby. You take a sip of your drink and nibble the pastry you bought, still looking around, but the speaker doesn’t present herself.

“Oh, wait, you can’t see me. I’m so sorry, let me just…”

Your eyes widen as an attractive, translucent woman appears in front of you. She grins mischievously and holds up a finger to her lips to signal for quiet. “Nobody can see or hear me right now except you,” she promises. “I don’t want to cause a panic, after all.”

A child carrying a glass of lemonade moves through the translucent woman in front of your table, and the woman sniffs in annoyance at the intrusion. 

“Anyway, I’m Bianca,” she says. 

Not wanting to be seen talking to seemingly empty air, you write your name in a corner of your sketchbook and add a little smiley face next to it. The ghost smiles at the cute gesture. 

“It’s been a long time since I’ve appeared before a living person,” Bianca says. “Is it okay if I watch you draw?”

Sure! you write next to your name, and Bianca smiles and moves to peer over your shoulder. As she does so, the song playing in your earbuds grinds to a halt as an ad begins to play. Bianca rolls her eyes and taps your phone with a translucent finger. The screen doesn’t change at all, but the music immediately resumes.

“I despise the audacity of these streaming services,” Bianca says. “Anyway, I upgraded your subscription to the premium plan without charging you. I hope you enjoy it.”

Thank you so much, you write.

“Don’t worry about it,” BIanca says with a grin. “I love being a patron of the arts. Can you tell me what inspired you to make this piece?”

You happily begin writing about your latest sketch, and Bianca eagerly reads every word.

see here to get your own blind date with a monster!

[lesbianardoo]

I just looked at ur Twitter and I love ur designs so far for the Utah suburbs thing but I wanted to ask about Mikey and Donnie, u said they're twins? Also what are their personalities like

omg hii thank you this is my first ask!! so i havent been able to draw mikey and donnie yet but yes they are twins, both common snapping turtles which are found in utah. splinter adopted them from a lady in slc and both of them fight a lottt about who's the oldest. they're the middle children of the hamato family, both being older than raph by a few months, however they're both still 13

they're very close and have always understood each other more then anyone else. mikey (they/them) loves to crack jokes and is a bit chronically online in fandom spaces and is pretry extroverted while donnie (he/him) has a very dry and sarcastic sense of humor and is chronically online more in techy spaces, like forums about latest technology advances and stuff (unfortunately this probably includes reddit but i swear donnie isn't a reddit guy) and likes to keep to himself.

mikey is very outwardly emotional and very empathetic to a fault meanwhile donnie doesnt express his emotions outwardly as much as mikey does and has trouble seeing himself in other people's shoes.

they bring out the best in each other and have a very yapper and listener dynamic. donnie is pretty emotionally intelligent, at least when it comes to other people and loves listening to mikey and giving them advice and mikey loves to help donnie come out of his shell and talk about his own feelings. they're each other's favorite person even though they get into little fights almost daily over really stupid things

this was a lot longer than i meant it to be haha

My stupid guide to getting the stupid list of people YOU FOLLOW on tumblr

if tumblr has some way fo getting a list of usernames and urls of blogs you follow i don't know of it, if theres some script i don't know it, if theres anything. LET ME KNOW. but since i dont think there is welcome to my bruteforce method of getting a list of people you follow.

I am not a coder, i don't know how to do this with a program, and i dont know of any program that does it, no programmer thats going to or anything so im bruteforcing this in perhaps a stupid way but it works

go to your https://www.tumblr.com/following page

its just this same link, it takes you to the list of everyone you follow Then you need to load EVERY FOLLOWER by scrolling ALLL THE WAY DOWN the list, i have 2000 blogs i follow but ti doesnt take long for me to get to the end, yes you have to do this.

rightclick and select inspect

a box will come up, this might be scary for non techy people, don't worry were just looking at the code underneath the site, nothing you change will be permanent. dont mess around here unless you know kinda what youre doing, but dont be scared for what were gonna do.

there are several tabs to this new window, we want to be in the inspector tab, and when you mouse over the text in here you can notice that it flashes certain parts of tumblr. these different lines all pertain to certain spots of the webpage so you can see what tumblr wants you to see.

we want to find where they put the followers

so were gonna hover over:

and notice that the very center and only the center where you're followers are shown is lit up, that means inside this line somewhere is your follower list ((its not gonna be pretty)) use the little arrow on the side of this line and click it to expand the underlying code (this is really called nesting i think im not a coder, basically when there an arrow, theres stuff in there)

open the next arrow too (main something something)

keep hovering over the lines within this one and see which one lights up the center and only open that one, next one is "section something something" next class something something

now this might start to look familliar to you if you read all these "data-cell-id=" lines these are all the people you follows usernames,

I'm sure someone who knows how to code would be able to grab this in a neat way and put it in a text document for us, but i dont know how to do that i just know i want it.

so what i do is:

right click the line whose arrow we just opened to be able to see this and select "copy, inner html" this line to be clear

and i make a new notepad document(txt) on my computer, and i paste all that shit in there. and yes it looks like complete nonsense because everything is going everywhere with text you dont need or understand. dont worry about it. you still have all your list of following usernames in there.

now i used vs code(or visual studio code) (its a free program you can just get it if you want use google) and you dont even need to know any coding for this cleaning step. to clean this up, i open the document i created with all this shit in it in vs code and it has the capability to select every instance of a word or symbol or whatever and delete every single one, or replace it. it can also write with multiple cursors at the end of every line of text at the same time. so this way i can get rid of all this nonsense stuff to line up everyones usernames the way i'd like.

you can use google to figure out how to do this, or fuff about in vs code, but selecting a chunk and right clicking and choosing "change all occurrences" is what i used the most.

now if someone who actually codes could… help.. help me please.. dont let anyone else have to use this guide, there has to be a better way. thank you i love you
