#i think it'd be comforting to think so

Do you think, when telling the Hobbit to his children, Tolkien did the voices?

More AU doodles. I dont think the kids fully understand what's happened

[sketchy-tour]

Okay listen I got distracted while working on my ask doodles. BUT LISTEN THIS IS SO SELF INDULGENT cause I was listening to an early 2000s playlist on spotify and realized... Reboot Wally would so be a blink 182 fan. And you SO know he would sing that mess at karaoke. A dork. I love him.

Reboot AU belongs to @/bloodrediscream (Man I do not need to tag them for just my silly doodles.

I WILL HOWEVER tag @kawaiialeisha because I feel like you'd appreciate this

i'm painted in colors here and there and you, too, are painted in colors everywhere

i'd like to personally thank @brofightiscancelled & @awittlebabbyboy for giving us the most glorious yanaichi feast they've been giving us with their postgrad plan au, ( also for just giving us the au in general, it's so freaking interesting and i love so much about it oh my god?? )

anyways, fellas, is it gay to happily wear the color you associate with your totally platonic roommate?

my thoughts are so scattered right now, honestly. i'm just pacing around and around thinking about them... shen jiu who hoards all he can and abuses his power vs. yue qi who refuses to cling onto anything precious or substantial so he doesn't lose/break it...

What you said about Grian keeping his modesty even after leaving the Watchers.... Hmmmm.... Grian in Hijab.... Yes that's the shit...

i think hijabs are just for women ! i'm unsure what the male equivalent is

But ! The Watchers i write are inspired by Catholicism, his mum is a nun who veils. This is also just for women, but if he wereeee to veil then it'd be something like that--i mean not the full extent of a nun, but there are head scarves that allow hair and neck to be shown

headscarves are very pretty regardless tho <3

so ever since I found out that buffy's stint in the mental hospital was actually canon and not just very common fanon I've had this idea about a killed by death au

they should've made it about buffy's trauma from the pysch ward!! can you imagine how much more fun that would be instead of inventing a random cousin that never matters before or after? a bit of more relevant backstory mixed in with some wonderful dramatics

like buffy is still sick, and she still cries about having to slay vampires before being sedated, but afterwards joyce is all like oh not this again. and the scoobies are like ?? so joyce goes on to explain like sighing she used to talk about vampires before we moved to sunnydale, but I thought we'd moved past that or whatever. then the gang are all eyeing each other like so why did buffy stop? and why didn't/doesn't joyce believe her if buffy's talked about all of this before?

I don't think joyce would actually fully open up to why buffy hates hospitals. a vague she's had some bad experiences with them would probably suffice or smth like that. I doubt she's proud to have had her daughter in a mental ward y'know wouldn't wanna share that around both for her and buffy's sakes

and instead of seeing that weird ass gross monster she sees. well. okay this is pretty much normal again but in s2. admittedly I hadn't seen that episode before I had this idea, so... oops?

but okay for like the main conflict of the episode, instead of the monster, there's all these kids that have been put away being called crazy for the stuff they've seen that's messed them up. and then for the falling action, it can have buffy realize or prove or whatever that none of the kids are crazy, it's that they've seen the dark side of sunnydale and no one is believing them. just like what she went through originally. give her some catharsis helping other people

honestly I think it'd just be more interesting if we're going to have a hospital episode like that! and more impactful as we get to learn a bit more buffy's time before sunnydale, as well as why buffy is so much more cautious with the slaying stuff around her mom when otherwise she usually has a good relationship with her. plus, the coming out scene where her identity is finally revealed would I think be extra tense with that added context of how her mom took it the first time

Seen a meme goin' round Al Gore's internets the past few days talking about average income if you exclude the top 1000 or whatever Americans, and its math sucks and is bad and is also wrong. You should not take it as fact just because it's in a meme format, it uses data that simply does not seem to meaningfully exist and to the extent that it does, relies on mixing up means and medians repeatedly and interchangeably.

one day i'll post my fic and you can finally witness this monster of a playlist that fuels my insanity

[bumblingbabooshka]

B'Elanna, Neelix, Tuvok and Chakotay needed to star in an episode where they just talked about their different beliefs and approaches to spirituality/religion. Paired off and all together. I need to gain more insight. I need characterization and I need it to be messy.

I've always felt that it'd be Killua who initiates the first hug we see between him and Gon

Outing myself as a Genshin rarepair lover just to say that what I love best about Diluven isn't the "boy and his god" dynamic (though that is very good, chef's kiss yes yes)--what I love most is that both Diluc and Venti (literally, in Venti's case) are characters shaped by their grief, characters who have responded to loss in different and yet equally unhealthy ways.

Venti hides his grief behind a light-hearted veneer, using laughter and antics to dissuade people from taking him--and the things he's experienced--too seriously. He asserts a carefree (sometimes careless) exterior while internally hiding away the pain of his personal losses and the immense pressure of being an archon.

Diluc is the complete opposite. By all accounts, he used to be a happy child, but he's allowed his grief to completely reshape his external self, from a boy who smiled all the time to a quiet, brooding young man who feels best fit for the dark of night. Diluc carries his loss and his deep sense of atonement outside himself for everyone who knows his past to see. It's a weight he can't let go of and doesn't even try to hide.

But who better to help you heal than the person who has faced the same kind of suffering and chosen a different path?

Through Venti, Diluc can learn that a legacy of loss does not have to mean sacrificing joy and companionship in the present; that letting yourself freely express happiness here-and-now isn't a betrayal to the memory of those who are gone.

Through Diluc, Venti can learn that there's no shame to showing one's sadness nor selfishness in sorrow; that you aren't ignoring what was gained by mourning what was lost--that no one will begrudge their god for the times he doesn't feel like singing.

Until until, one day:

A Diluc with reasons to smile unreservedly.

A Venti with someone to sit beside his silence.

So yes, it's about a boy and his god. But also: it's about two people who have experienced the same profound grief and who both, in their own ways, are the exact type to soldier on under the burden of their duties to Mondstadt at deep cost to themselves.

It's about healing your mirror in order to heal yourself, and it doesn't get any better than that.

Like goddamn, what a dynamic.

I do believe I am fully fucked for the next like 4-6 years because even if someone does find me attractive in any way (which is, quite frankly, crazy enough already) there's a 99% chance it'd be under Girl Standards and just thinking about it makes me want to throw up I'm not even kidding it's disgusting
