#it makes reblogs awkward

[theoldaeroplane]

worried that thing you put in your art or writing or game or music is too self-indulgent, too self-referential, too niche for anyone but yourself? fear not! you can do whatever you want forever. and you should.

(Regarding your AU) If Charlie were to find out, how do you think she would react?

There's definitely a LOT of big feelings there. Some positive, some not so much. Charlie's an emotional person so I think she'd definitely have a pretty big reaction.

There is an element of betrayal, sadly. Lucifer's been so distant for so long, finding out that he actually cheated on her mom (even if while drunk and high out of his mind) is definitely a blow. She does have some sympathy, especially seeing how torn up Lucifer is over it, but she can't help being hurt but the revelation. It takes a fair amount of time for them to reconcile over this. Charlie's still more than slightly worried about what Lilith's reaction will be.

And on the other hand: HOLY SHIT SHE HAS A LITTLE BROTHER!

Alastor doesn't really immediately start acting differently towards Charlie when the truth comes out, but Charlie definitely starts acting differently towards him. A lot more openly affectionate, wanting to share feelings and make up for lost time. Alastor feels like he should be glad for this development; Charlie's lowering her guard over some imagined familial bond. This will make gaining her trust and influencing her so much easier.

BUT!

It's deeply uncomfortable when the only family he's ever really had is his maman (and possibly some of her relatives). Charlie's trying to be better about respecting people's boundaries, but she's enthralled by the idea of having a younger sibling, even if that sibling is Alastor. And she thinks that maybe this could be her way in. The path by which she's going to redeem the Radio Demon. She also starts recontextualizing a lot of his trollish behavior as 'little sibling energy' and Alastor doesn't care for that at all.

dp x dc prompt #26

Danny and Ember end up having a dance competition/battle, all in good fun, which gets spotted by the Justice League studying the new species on earth.

The League, with almost all of its primary intelligence gathering members out on missions, makes the leap in logic that this species may communicate by dance, like bees…

Unfortunately, Danny has started a dance battle fad and now the Justice League is getting responses when they randomly break into dance around ghosts. or the ghosts just laugh at them and leave. Danny just has to keep the confusion from getting worse until the rest of the league gets back planet side. How bad could it be?

Or- the epic saga of misinformation and guesswork on culture that can only go hilariously.

HELLO MIRACULOUS FANDOM

if u are part of the miraculous fandom PLS DO NOT SCROLL PAST THIS.

I'll try to keep this message short enough, but if you don't want to be really confused in season 6, READ THIS. (and yes there will be pictures)

Do you remember the episode Representation? Of course you do. It was probably one of the best episodes imo. We got some feligami, adrien fighting his father (only to end up in solitary confinement afterwards but forget that), and, of course, confirmation to a very popular fan theory.

HOWEVER. that fan theory is something I need to talk about.

Don't worry, yes, I still do believe that adrien, félix and kagami are all sentis, that is not what the purpose of this message is. Please keep reading.

do you remember him? yes. this is félix. impersonating his shitty father, colt. in this scene , 'colt' is using the peacock miraculous to create a son.

in this scene, the amok is very clearly going into the ring félix has on at all times.

But what, in the entire representation play, has not been shown once?

Émelie using the peacock. Émelie putting the amok into Adrien's rings. Émelie creating a son.

This play is Félix's story, not Adrien's.

Yes, adrien is a sentimonster, but that was never shown here once. Yes, there were peacock feathers in the background of Émelie being pregnant, and yes, Gabriel called Adrien a miracle.

But those were just hints for the audience.

In this scene, here is what 'Gabriel' was saying.

After much study, I have discovered a solution for you and your wife.

This is making it sound like he has just now discovered the peacock miraculous. We as the audience, of course, know that he's lying.

But who was this play meant for, other than us as the all-knowing viewers?

Marinette Dupain-Cheng. The only in-universe audience member. And let's not forget that this is her very first exposure to the Agreste and Graham de Vanily family history and the senti lore. She doesn't know what we do.

Marinette, upon hearing Gabriel's lie, had no reason to believe he or émelie used the peacock to create Adrien. Marinette, upon hearing Gabriel's lie, had no reason to believe that after Colt created félix, he stole back the peacock miraculous. Marinette, upon watching this play, had no reason to believe that Adrien is a sentimonster, or that the Graham de Vanily rings are significant in any way.

"But then why did she give them back to Adrien?" It's what would have made him happy. It's what Gabriel wanted. It's the last thing she could find in there that Gabriel owned. It's the last known piece of the Agreste family.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng has no reason to believe that Émelie used the peacock. In fact, Émelie only appears in this play four times, once as the curious princess, once living a bohemian life with the tailor, once being pregnant, and once giving birth.

And the Graham de Vanily rings? Only when her parents attached them to her necklace, and then as she was getting married! Marinette thinks those are just simple wedding bands, like her parents'!

And now, to recap, this is what everyone knows:

Us, the viewers:

Adrien, Félix, and Kagami are sentimonsters. Gabriel found the miraculous while in Tibet, along with the butterfly. Then, he gave it to Émelie, and she used it to create Adrien, putting the amok in the wedding bands. Afterwards, Gabriel gave the miraculous to Colt, who made Félix, as shown in the play. And, somehow, the peacock found its way over to Kagami's family (possibly her father?) who used it to create her, and put the amok in the ring she wears.

Marinette:

Félix is a sentimonster. Gabriel found the miraculous somewhere (probably Tibet, as that's where it was lost, possibly along with the butterfly). Then, he gave it to Colt in an act of sympathy (strange, those must have been nicer times), but of course not without making a trade. Afterwards, Colt used the peacock to create Félix, and then somehow Gabriel got it back and used it to become Shadowmoth.

Marinette doesn't know that Adrien is a sentimonster.

having a speech impediment is so awkward because someone will make fun of it and then somebody else gets angry on your behalf and argues over your head like you’re not capable of defending yourself while you just sit there like

[studyblr-perhaps]

I really want to make a series of posts explaining in simple terms the different maths/physics concepts I struggled with when I first learnt them.

Would anyone be interested in it 👀👀?

[widevibratobitch]

Since we're both as unwell about him as we are I consider you to be someone who knows a fair amount and what do you genuinely think the real James Fitzjames would feel if he saw the Terror's depiction of him? (As in watching the whole show)

HUH good question. first of all i think he'd be a little discombobulated by the very experience of watching a tv show but personally i choose to believe he'd at least be happy he was made into one of the main characters?? and that so many cool and sexy insane people are obsessed with him now <3

having said that. as much as i love show!fitzjames they did nerf him down A LOT. they robbed him of the joyous whimsy that was such a characteristic trait of the real jokester supreme fitzjames (show!fitzjames also has little to no relationship with his irl lieutenant buddies which. sad.)

we also know now that. most probably. he was actually fully english so i can only imagine he'd be Not Pleased about the cairn scene to say it lightly lmao imagine you and your adoptive family making significant efforts throughout your whole life to disguise the fact of your illegitimate birth and then 150 years later some people make a high rating show where they babygirlify you not only spill your secret to the millions of people watching (or secrets, plural, and make you call yourself a fake as a cherry on top lol) but they also get it wrong and make it Even Worse (from a victorian englishman's perspective) like stop guys he's already dead lmfao

having said that. he would have loved the britannia costume and the your nails are a terror line. i know he would.

every day i wish creators didn't have to ask for more than silent interaction on here

[whirling-ghost]

I was at a birthday party last week and someone was like "oh how come you don't drink"

*sighs* multiple reasons, none of which I am going to get in to at a party and that's awkward

so I slapped a smile on my face and said "what level of tragic backstory would you like to unlock?!" he either didn't hear or didn't comprehend so I had to repeat it. which made someone else turn around and explain why we don't ask people that. it was great. 10/10 will do again

[awsok]

there's so much we don't know about baylan and shin it fascinates me! like at all times i am thinking about:

what was baylan's relationship with his own master like (and how has that influenced his relationship with shin)?

what was baylan like as a jedi knight? (did he ever question the order before it fell? what was he like as a general during the clone wars?)

did he ever have a padawan when he was part of the order? if so, what was their relationship like (and how did it end)?

how did baylan survive order 66 and the jedi purge?

what caused baylan to see the jedi as "weak" with "no future"?

what was shin's life like before she met baylan? (did she know she was force-sensitive? did she ever have family or a community?)

how did shin and baylan meet? what drew him to her (or her to him)?

what made baylan decide to train shin? (was he looking for an apprentice? or did he just stumble across her, realise she was force-sensitive and — what? decide she could be useful? want to protect her from inquistors?) what made shin agree to be trained?

how old was shin when they met (and as a result, how long has baylan been training shin)?

how did their relationship develop? when we see them in ahsoka there was an unexpected warmth between them: mutual trust, a hint of playfulness. but there is also a significant distance: baylan gives the orders and shin follows, shin asks questions but rarely receives answers. baylan is visibly furious and protective when ahsoka throws shin into that rock in 1x04, yet a few short episodes later he sends shin away and leaves her to fend for herself. did they use to be closer? or is this as close as they've ever been?

how does baylan see shin (both what he consciously tells himself and what does he really feel)?

how does shin see baylan (both what she consciously tells herself and what she really feels)?

baylan said he was training shin to be "more than a jedi": what does that mean exactly? shin clearly draws on her anger for power and both wield sith-esque orange-red lightsabers. yet baylan also criticises anakin and ahsoka's legacy of "death and destruction" and claims to "serve a greater good".

and of course. what the fuck is baylan's mission?

this is absolutely an invitation to put your headcanons and theories in a reblog/the tags/the replies/my askbox/your own post/literally anywhere as long as i can read it. they make me soo crazy and i need to know everyone's headcanons right now immediately. pleak

you ever write up a combination of words you're really proud of at the time bc you think it's vivid but it's actually so atrocious that you remember it eight years later bc it's burned itself into your long-term memory? just me?

The stars have spoken…

@iridescentsunsetwaters , your match is...

Zhongli <3

Zhongli definitely notices you before you notice him. You spend time in similar recreational circles, with you both being enjoyers of art and culture, and even if you noticed him, you’re maybe a little cautious of saying anything to him. But it’s him who speaks to you first, maybe asking you what your opinions are on a certain piece of work, or complimenting your singing voice as you hum a song that he hasn’t heard for years, and the rest is history. After a few chance encounters at museums, he finally asks your name, and when he hears that it’s Aurel, a name he’s been hearing in his mind for years, it’s as if everything clicks into place.

It would be easy to assume that as years go by, you and Zhongli would both tire of the walks around Liyue that often culminated in small picnics, but the years go by, and you both continue to enjoy them. Maybe the way your conversations never seem to run dry is what keeps you both entertained. Or maybe the fact you both spent so long waiting for each other is what makes every second together so precious, regardless of what you’re doing. Sometimes you sit in comfortable silence, and other times you're both focused on the snack laid out before you. Regardless, any passing bystander would be able to easily sense how much the two of you care for each other.

Bonuses :3 

the minute i saw your description of yourself (and mutual pining and soulmates), i thought zhongli. Maybe it’s because i think we’re similar, but i digress. later on,  i thought Thoma, but zhongli won because i think he’d be able to reciprocate more in the things you said you were interested in. Thoma would listen to you talk, and he would try his best to learn and get to know your interests, but at the end of the day, they're not his interests and i think that would cause problems later. Also, when it comes to making impulsive decisions i think Thoma would enable it a little bit. Another pick was Neuvillette, but I think at times his work might become a bit of a priority.

 i can definitely see Zhongli giving you the space to be impulsive without any judgement, and being patient enough to wait for you to be ready to talk about it

also can see you coming out of your cage at home and zhongli just like watching on with mild admiration and amusement

i feel there’d defo be that scenario where a couple goes to a museum and one of them is just staring at the other and when you ask why you’re being stared at, zhongli would probably go “I’m simply admiring the art.”
