Remember when Eddie's last words to Buck almost were "Alright cowboy, go get 'em" and he would have had to live with that knowledge.

But it turned out it was the first thing Buck remembered.

Okay guys, hear me out:

Sea Serpent Hobie!!!

Sea Serpent Hobie who sinks any superyachts he comes across!

Sea Serpent Hobie who uses harpoon spears meant to kill him as piercings! And old anchor chains as jewelry!

Sea Serpent Hobie who attacks big commercial fishing boats that are destroying the ecosystem by overfishing

But also benign Sea Serpent Hobie, who aids those lost at sea!

Who helps smaller local fishing buisnesses with sustainable fishing

Who looks out for this small fishing community and in return they warn him whenever hunters show up in the area!

Sea Serpent Hobie who is huge but still manages to hide perfectly in the kelp forests!

Who has bioluminescence and uses it both to terrify enemies and as a way to calm down people in distress, as a way for him to signal goodwill - and to show off when he feels like it!

Who can change his pigmentation similarly to octopi to communicate his mood and feelings! Or just to blend in with his surroundings (also as a nod to the way he changes filters in the movie!)

Sea Serpent Hobie who's frequently seen swimming with whale pods- Orcas being his favourites to hang out with (they sometimes go on yacht sinking trips together)

Sea Serpent Hobie who likes to give people a show and will show off by breaching right next to unsuspecting boats

DO YOU SEE MY VISION?!??

SEA SERPENT HOBIE!!!!!!💙💙💙

What if Deadpool and spider punk met?

(Not like in a romantic way I just picture pure chaos taking place)

aight i’ll give it a go..

something very Important To Me in the spider-man and deadpool relationship (gen) is the theme of voluntary change for the better. deadpool’s morals don’t match up with spidey’s, but spidey matters enough to him to want to be good. redemption arcs my beloved

in 616, deadpool is a mercenary, and that doesn’t jive with peter parker’s no-killing policy. hobie, however, has no such qualms, thus the flavor of 138 dp’s divergence must be altered; i’m thinking he might’ve been a retired/fired police officer, or he took government-sponsored merc jobs without caring who the target was—somethin a little fucked up like that idk

then he meets spider-punk. initially, deadpool is obsessed the way you’re obsessed with your friends’ favorite celebrities—loudly, annoyingly, facetiously. hobie at first dislikes him, but doesn’t consider him a big enough player to hate, and since punk’s core moral of radical kindness allows for second chances, he offers dp the opportunity to turn his back on the State. slowly deadpool acclimates to punk values and community, finds himself upholding core tenets of the revolution even when it means he loses out on big fat wads of fascist blood money, and becomes a scene kid

Have we ever stopped to consider the impact Robin's arrival had on Aaron? Because like I'm almost 100% positive she had a great impact on Andrew (and on Neil as well) because it showed he was ready to open his tight circle to yet another external person, but what was Aaron's reaction to that?

Nora said in the EC the twins were making progress in (re?)building their relationship, albeit almost too slowly to notice. They are becoming proper brothers, through the highs and lows of it, and it's a long process for the two of them. And yet, here is Andrew handpicking someone to replace him after he graduates to everyone's surprise when she has, seemingly, nothing special (I'm paraphrasing Nora a little bit here so don't hate me, I personally love Robin). But it is his choice, imposed to Wymack by a short note and a bottle of whiskey, so no one asks. Perhaps Aaron doesn't notice at first, but the more time she spends at PSU, the closer she seems to Andrew. He encourages her to fight back against the teammates who torment her, he takes her to Columbia and then she moves in with the cousins in the dorm where Andrew gives her his own bed so they have enough room to fit her in.

I mean, don't tell me this wasn't a shock to him. He has been fighting for Andrew's attention almost this entire time and yet, here she waltzes in, and grabs it so easily. I'm sure this must has been a major setback in their relationship because he must have felt so betrayed considering Andrew almost seems to be considering her as some kind of little sister. Of course he probably doesn't know everything about her past, so it must hurt him so bad to see his brother get attached to someone else so easily when he is right there. I bet their therapy sessions are either quite animated or deadly silent.

Nora also says eventually all the cousins end up coaching her after hours so honestly I would absolutely not be surprised if the first time he has to do it he just lashes out because what the hell makes her so special? Eventually, perhaps Robin stops right there and explains to him her entire past, and perhaps Aaron suddenly understands why Andrew would find interest in helping her because sure their past is a bit different, but also it has many similarities and now Aaron can see it. He probably feels dumb as hell for letting his own emotions cloud his judgement. They are all Foxes, all of them have a messy past and it shouldn't have come as a surprise that Robin's would be a bad one too considering Andrew is so keen on offering her his protection. Once Robin is done talking, Aaron definitely finds himself at a loss for words. His anger is gone, now replaced by something else he cannot quite pinpoint so he just goes back to coaching Robin as if nothing happened. It's only after this day that he begins accepting her among his family as well, going so far as introducing her to Katelyn who immediately becomes her friend because Katelyn is awesome and we love her in this house, and perhaps he also has a little talk about this with Andrew, who knows?

i can't get rocky horror picture show. i feel like for it to have appeal to you, it needed to have been formative media and a sexual awakening of sorts. watched it a couple years ago coming from 1. already being out of the closet for years, 2, knowing the reputation rhps has both with the transmisogyny and theater nerds. i was gonna approach it for what it was, and i hoped to at least find some appreciation as a pulp sci fi enjoyer. but what made the most disappointed in the end is that for its reputation, it was not nearly as weird or transgressive or as queer as other 70s movies i know of or have seen. i had already seen phantom of the paradise by that point so my expectations for weird rock operas were set much higher, and i expected more of the pulpiness that it promised. i can appreciate the acting, art direction, some of the music, and i can understand what it meant to people, but there are way better and more entertaining and weirder 70s movies out there. i watched it in a double feature with shock treatment and i liked shock better. if you want a better pulp sci fi sex comedy with questionable elements, watch flesh gordon (1974)

the amount of people who point out Steven as some kind of money hungry villain manipulating Shane and Ryan in the whole Watcher debacle is so annoying. clearly they just liked Shane and Ryan a lot better and want to take culpability away from them. but all 3 of them made this decision, as far as we know they're all equally accountable. stop making conspiracies based off people's lives you don't know so you can continue to justify your parasocial relationship jfc

I'm walking. Fast. The world is tilted. There's green peaking up from flat gray. Short, stubby moss. Like an ooze. Like the sidewalk is compressing it sideways. Persistent even in a concrete jungle. This little thing. This tiny thing. Reaching up toward the sun from under trampling feet. Toward a distant star. And I'm walking, but I'm light through a prism. Splitting seven different directions. A billion and a billion and a billion years brought this tiny crumpled organism to the crushing weight of my foot. And I want to scream and I want to run and I want to cry. Because it's beautiful and I'm worried I'm the only one who sees it. I'm worried it'll burn through me. I'm worried that when I walk this path for my hundred thousandth time, I won't see it like I did this first time. That my world will fall to ash again and I won't see the moss growing up between the seams in the sidewalk.

14: A song that you would love played at your wedding.

28: A song by an artist with a voice that you love.

14: A song that you would love played at your wedding.

Idk if i'll have like a wedding wedding but this song is very romantic in a morbid way which is good vibes imo

28: A song by an artist with a voice that you love.

The lead singer's voice is so hot to me,,,,and this song in particular I didn't like the song itself too much but the way his voice sounds in it is so good it ended up in my liked songs anyway and I've grown to love it all around

[kithj]

your writing never disappoints its always so toothsome (i am gnawing on it like some beast). always a pleasure to read. there’s a sort of rhythm to the words and the weave of more literary versus matter of fact writing,,, you have a v distinctive voice as well. feel like i could read an excerpt and be like i know that guy!! BIG love as always 🫶

also a question bc im curious, feel free to not answer. does this current version of siren’s call have a lot of similarities w the IF version? plot wise i meant, beside all the narsty tasty bits

hehehe thank you!!! and i'd definitely be lying if i said the jibaro didn't give me a little bit of inspiration with the golden siren, i was definitely picturing all the jewelry that she wears when i was writing her description in the water, and the similar vibes of a dangerous "romance" between them. i also really wanted her appearance to contrast dramatically with Rome's completely unadorned snake siren.

as for your question, a little bit of yes and no. while i did want to play with sirens a little bit in the original story, it wasn't something i had planned to be as big of a narrative piece as it ended up being in the short story.

obviously Swaine isn't present in the short story, nor any of the other characters aside from Rome & the mention of Reed. i'm honestly not sure if i'm going to do more with siren's call just yet, so i don't want to share too much.... but the mc was always intended to have the scarred map from their father, though originally it was on their back. Rome & Alessa both knew about it, but Swaine was the only one that could potentially read it, since he knew the mc's father & was familiar with his code. it was what he was originally looking for when he killed their father and ransacked their house, but he failed to find it since... the mc was the map.

i did have similar themes planned for the longer story, the idea of a "cycle" and the mc being trapped inside it (and dragging Rome along with them) and i imagine this short story being one of the various outcomes of a more vengeful mc that perhaps killed Swaine on sight, unknowingly trapping themselves in the cycle without ever learning about the scars on their arm and thus never finding real closure with the loss of their father. of course this context is missing from the short story; it's all meant to be very... speculative.

i like keeping things vague and unexplained and letting the reader interpret what it could mean. were the scars ever even a map at all or was it meaningless? does the siren know what the scars really are? is she trapping the mc or is the mc trapping her? is the mc really reliving this experience over and over again? is that really Rome in bed with them in the end? are they really going to do it differently this time...? we just don't know, and that's the fun of it ;-)
