#he just doesn’t like needles

Eddie posts a Tiktok of him zooming in on Ozzy as he says in a sing-song voice, “Guess who isn’t happy that they have to get a shot.”

He pans the camera up suddenly and pushes in on Steve’s face. Eddie’s voice is all smiles when he says, “It’s Steve.”

Working through designing not just the non-human forms of different characters, but the older version of them too.

I got the farthest with Benny and Bobby.

I was surprised at how quick I decided on what to do with Benny. He doesn’t become a Psychonaut, just ages out of camp and drops most of the psychic world. He lives a lot like most teenagers for a while. Except, he wasn’t born human. From day one, he’s always been right in the middle of the non-human world. He lived with a lot of his family in the closest non-human sanctum city several hours away from the Psychonauts. Eventually, somewhere around his mid teens, he reunites with Bobby during the latter’s internship. They’ve both mellowed out a lot at that point and manage to put together a pretty solid friendship.

For Bobby, he’s had a harder time with things. He ages out of camp and is kind of bounced around between places, often getting mixed up with older kids that don’t have his best interests in mind. Eventually, he is offered an internship back with the Psychonauts that his family more or less forces him into. Immediately, he’s seen as the organization’s charity case. The rumors, most from his fellow interns, get to him really bad initially, until he gets that one life changing conversation all teens need and decides to put his genuine all into it. He thrives, surprisingly. He even gets invited back to intern the next year. He becomes friends with Benny again…. And then he finds out he’s not human…

It realistically could have gone a lot worse. But Benny had been there, and Benny was like him apparently. Luckily, they had been alone in the questionable area at the time, so they were able to try and fail dramatically at figuring out how to get Bobby walking on his weird new legs. They were found out later that day and ended up in Otto’s lab. It certainly was an experience watching that old man walk around his desk with a near matching set of his own hooves. Very weird day. Otto did get Bobby walking again though. After that, Bobby gets involved with the deeper secret department of the Psychonauts that works directly with the non-human world. A couple years into being an agent he lands himself the role of “official babysitter” to a certain alien enthusiast, just to make sure she doesn’t look too deep into things.

Here’s some fun stuff on their species:

There’s a species of hapries that are all bird except for their human heads, and Benny’s one of them. To get more specific, he’s also part of a subspecies called gamayun harpies. They specifically have magic that can only be used to grant general luck when they sing, pretty restrictive unless you learn how to play it. Benny sounds like a dying whale though so singing tends to be pretty subjective.

Fauns and saytrs are interchangeable terms in the non-human world. A lot of scientific fields will use faun more often, though. Fauns are a very diverse group of species and one of the largest non-human populations on Earth. Bobby is a bó faun (casual term is cow saytr but Bobby hates it). They’re one of the few Earth exclusive subspecies of fauns.

18 + swaymark!!

oooo thank you!!

#18 - pleaser, wallows + swaymark

okay i know they are canonically obsessed with each other but. the song is in some ways about feeling like you’re failing in your relationship and being not quite as obsessed with them as they maybe are with you, and in this video of them talking about being a tandem, there is the slightest pause before swayman answers “do you miss him?” that makes me want to probe a wound. we’re not talking irl reasons of how that’s an absurd question (how do you miss him. you’re coworkers you’re seeing each other all the time) we’re talking that maybe this whole goalies-in-love thing got blown out of proportion and now swayman’s having to buy into the bit too hard. linus loves it & everyone’s asking about their bromance & how they love each other so much and the thing is—linus is safe. he’s got a wife and plausible deniability and jeremy? jeremy is gay. sure, he can crack jokes and people-please but the more people ask the more they're going to find out until maybe they find out something jeremy doesn't want them to know. and the longer this goes on, the more jeremy has to sit at linus' dinner table with linus and his beautiful wife and pretend like he isn't a little bit in love with him. and you know what? the longer it goes on and linus doesn't dial it down jeremy does stop being in love with him, because it just feels cruel, until he finally is done enough that he stops biting his tongue and ruins the moment.

Please dear god let this make sense to someone:

Since Siobhan is a theater-nerd, do you think she picked the name Jaysohn for her character based off of Jason from Falsettos?

[quietwingsinthesky]

im gonna put together a longer post after this for my other reactions but im putting this one here separately because i think it encapsulates my thoughts on this version of simm!master and its. they don’t really capture how he antagonizes the doctor. and what i mean is he simply would not let the doctor monologue at him like he does when twelve’s going off at him and missy. like ten fucking tries So Many Times to talk at the master, and consistently, the master cuts him off, snaps out a joke about whatever serious topic the doctor wants. he just doesn’t let it get that far, you know?

the stand-out moments he does are, from what i remember, the end of last of the time lords, when he literally Can’t stop the doctor from monologuing at him because he’s become jesus through Thought Power or some shit. and then the end of time moment we all love, stone-cold brilliant, which is a complete reversal where the doctor is the one (seemingly) securely powerless. when they’re on equal footing, he simply does not let the doctor talk at him.

and like yeah, the ‘didn’t listen to a word you just said’ thing is funny but. god, i don’t know how to put it. yeah, he would have listened. that’s why he always cuts the doctor off when the doctor tries to connect on the his terms rather than the master’s. that’s why he doesn’t let him monologue at him. that’s why he’s practically shouting over the doctor to be heard first.

if that makes any goddamn sense. do his bastardness properly, moffat. he would not fucking do that.

Evil Polycule AU but-

Tim finding out eventually about the major event that caused Jon to ‘fall from grace’. Jon (indirectly) killing Butler, kidnapping Artemis and holding him at gunpoint, etc.

Of course he’d be upset, enraged even- and Jon’s not really in the best mental state to try to defend himself. He’s terrified, now, as he’s given Tim control over his life in return for safety and suddenly, the reality hits him that it all could be snatched away from him again- or worse…

(but also, perhaps, the third member of the party, in a truly unprecedented move, speaks up on Jon’s behalf…)

there’s nothing worse than being made to feel wimpy and stupid for having A Medical Condition. like ok you’re gonna bitch about me for fainting and needing to be picked up from the lab?? when it’s a half hour walk home and i can barely stand. why don’t you drive yourself home from the next surgery you get you wrinkly asshole

I came across this random picture of a guy using two screwdrivers as knitting needles and my first thought was: Din would do that.

i can churn out thoughts on lan xichen like it’s nothing but for my thoughts on wei wuxian it’s like they have to slowly marinate over a well-tended fire for 48 hours before i go insane on tumblr dot edu at 3am

[fellhellion]

it feels like im reading against the intended tone of the relationship and character but god. if you take dana’s actions purely at face value the kind of person it paints is like. One I have a lot of complicated feelings about.
