Siren au! Instead of meeting in a aquarium like usual, what happens if they meet MC on a stranded boat. Maybe there was a shipwreck and she’s on a life raft, maybe on a piece of wreckage?

ohoOOOOOOO she's trapped in one of those rinky-dink life rafts with nothing but a tarp over the top to protect herself from the sun and rain, and a few day's worth of provisions.

What shall she do...

Sans: He's the first to find her, adrift in the middle of the ocean, with nothing but her raft and rations. Encountering a siren is scary enough on a big boat, let alone in a tiny little raft with nothing to defend herself. She's forced to watch a monster stalking her as she drifts alone in the endless ocean.

... But for some reason... he doesn't eat her. When he finally does approach the boat, he talks to her- despite the frightening look in his eyelights he's strangely approachable. And after that, he starts bringing her supplies. Though she still finds his mannerisms eerie, she's not exactly going to turn down his help... he brings fish, turtles, edible seaweed, birds he snatches off the water's surface, plastic bottles for collecting rainwater. If she can't bring herself to kill something he does it for her. He gives her endless survival tools- and in return, she indulges in his obvious desperation for someone to talk to.

She'd rather the crazy siren wants to help her, after all.

Red: She loves when Red shows up.

Again, at first, she was terrified when a massive shark siren started stalking up to her raft. She very nearly called out for Sans. But then Red popped up, put his arm over the edge of her boat- and he started flirting. She was so shocked that it genuinely made her laugh... something she thought she'd forgotten how to do, considering what she's going through. He regularly appears to just crack jokes, call her cute, and ask her about her life on land- she never would've thought a siren could be so funny. Now, when she hears that familiar "heya, pretty pearl~", she really can't help but light up.

He's clear that he's there to flirt, to play, to have a bit of fun. His easygoing aura keeps her sane... sometimes, it almost feels like he talks to her just to keep her from going mad.

Sans and Red clearly don't like each other. They both want to be her favourite, and they're both territorial. But when they fight, it really frightens her; she retreats into the raft and covers it with the tarp, refusing to come out for hours.

So they behave... just for her.

Skull: He only comes at night, when the darkness is absolute.

She hears the sound of him approaching. His tentacles twisting in the water. She lays flat on her back in the boat, hidden from view under the tarp, terror gripping her entire body. He knows she's there. She hears something brush against the hull, she hears something tapping a repeating rhythm just inches from her face, she feels when he grips the raft and her entire world instantly seems so fragile. She sees light, colourful glows creeping up from the other side of the raft edge... though her curiosity whispers at her to just look once, to see where the light is coming from, her terror keeps her absolutely stone still every night.

She doesn't know why he doesn't just tip the boat, he's clearly capable of it. She doesn't know why he never reaches into the raft, only remaining outside. Maybe he's playing with her. She doesn't know why he seems to like to hum to her, quietly...

... And she doesn't know why he's always gone by sunrise.

Not to be all Old Man Yells At Cloud, but when did it become so widely accepted for people to just. Not wear headphones in public? It's rare now for me to take the train or bus without someone blasting music or broadcasting their TikTok feed to the entire carriage. Is this getting more common or am I just getting grumpier?

[anormalkidingotham]

so i have two bosses and they're currently fighting about if we should keep delivering food to the joker because he never tips and always threatens the drivers (at least two have already gone missing after bringing him food) but he might try to get revenge if we blacklist him

[sysig]

Haha, this Winterkov stuff is fun- where did all these other feelings come from (Patreon)

[songofwizardry]

ok SO I have recently become incredibly obsessed with the game Gubbins (if you have not tried it you SHOULD it’s fun) and I keep making my little postcards (you can make little pictures with the words you make that day) and I think they’re incredibly funny, SO: here you go, my favourites, with titles.

1 this one is called “my friend is a Druid”

2 this one is called “wearing a crop top” (my partner made this one I can’t take credit)

3 this one is called “archive of our own dot org”

4 this one is called “I don’t have daddy issues”

5 this one is called “good sex”

6 and finally, this one is called “a life motto”

i wish i was as social i make myself out to be irl, more social than the average awkward inept tumblr user is still not social enough

[cookinguptales]

aw, I got a piss on the poor addition to that story I told about that dinner with my parents. that's tumblr for you, I guess.

I think my advisor is so neurotypical she cannot even fathom other people not being as neurotypical as her. Because why is she mad at me for doing exactly what I was supposed to do? I just didn’t tell her I had done it because she never asked, I was supposed to just know?? That she wanted me to tell her I did it?? So now I have to do it again and she’s giving the subtle ‘you fucked up’ vibes when I literally did exactly what she told me to do!

living with people who Walk Extremely Fast while needing time alone in the shared house spaces to do your basic selfcare/starting-the-day routines + having Trauma around being seen even fucking existing in shared spaces, including a long-ongoing and hefty dose of it from said people themselves, is a living hell actually. especially when they insist on constantly leaving doors wide open that would normally mitigate the house being a fucking panopticon and also give you like two seconds' warning that they're entering the space so you can brace yourself or leave. Hate

... huh. It's an interesting, if concerning, first impression, I suppose... Hope he's alright?

Nice poem though.

Is the incorrect their intentional?

Miles turn. He gets transformed into a child. 3 maybe 4? Maybe older- oh it's so hard to tell.

He moves to push Kay out of the way. Shield her. He succeeds. She's left terrified that he's disappeared until the bundle of clothes shifts. She grabs the bundle and hauls ass out of there.

He's tiny. Most people are at that age probably. He trails behind her and holds her skirt to avoid getting separated but won't say a word to her. Won't look her in the eye no matter what she says. Just occasionally taps her leg. Tap tap tap. He is super cute though.

She brings him to Gumshoe who Immediately is like CHILD!!!! A PROSECUTOR EDGEWORTH CHILD! Collapses in a pool of tears when Miles Actively moves away and hides from him.

Shields! He'll know what to do. They track him down while continuing to collect clues. Miles is dragged along (as Prosecutor Edgeworth would want!) And his unique perspective (so short) helps them track down the bad guys.

When they find Shields Miles beelines Right for him. Hides his face in his pantleg. Tapping on it. Motions for his hat, and promptly sticks his entire face in it.

"... Got a headache there Miles?" A nod. "I bet we can fix that. But first do you want a hug?"

Shields is reduced to investigating one handed. Even once the kids Advil kicks in he still has to hold Miles hand.

Miles doodles dino feet on a photograph and Everything comes together all at once. They praise him So much for it. He mostly looks confused and uncomfortable.

At the end of the night they run into Wright having just sacrificed his wallet to the Fey stomachs. Shields is so grateful to have his hand back he doesn't even notice for a hot minute.

Miles is a barnacle on Phoenix. Tap tap taps his leg. Phoenix looks So confused until the weirdness snaps into place.

"Oh. Sure Miles. We can go home now."

When Phoenix holds Miles proper from in his arms that night he thanks him. Tap tap tap. For teaching him one of his family signs.

I would like to go home now. I would like to leave.

Thanks him for trusting him with that.

God okay I don't normally complain about petty fandom problems or whatever but I just got a poll from a tag on my dash on if two characters are dating that literally one of them canonically HATES and is outright extremely rude to the other who did nothing and it overwhelmingly voted they were. This is not a cutesy baby and a tsundere one of them is just fucking awful to them for no reason YOU GUYS HAVE TO STOP CARING ABOUT CHARACTERS JUST BECAUSE YOU DECIDED THEY SHOULD BE SHIPPED TOGETHER

CARE ABOUT CHARACTERS OUTSIDE OF BEING A SHIP THEY ALREADY HAVE THEIR OWN STORY AND EVERYTHING STOP CONTRIBUTING TO THE EXTREMELY REDUCTIVE PRACTICE OF TAKING AWAY ALL CHARACTER DEPTH AND STORY BECAUSE TWO CHARACTERS STAND NEXT TO EACH OTHER

trying to look for a job relating to writing on handshake but its all AI training bullshit *family guy death pose*

[ananas-pineapple-thing]

u know i’m not sure if it’s because i read the series pretty young but i never got into percabeth even though i like their characters and enjoyed the narrative of them growing up and getting together !🫣 i think it works for the story but i don’t have any strong feelings abt it

[that-was-anticlimactic]

actually, no. you know what? i am so sick of this “marinette is just a friend” bs. okay. cool. adrien said she was just a friend a few times. whatever. it’s not that big of a deal and everyone in the mlb fandom like. hyperfixates on that??? idc if it’s a “just a joke” because it’s utterly ridiculous at this point. i have literally seen people go on heated rants about how stupid or clueless adrien was during the umbrella scene because he called mari just a friend. are you kidding me??? y’all are really going to take away that moment for him? he just made like his first ever friend in nino and when he called her a friend, he looked so excited because this boy has only ever had one friend before. of course he’s going to call mari just a friend because he just met her and the only time she’s actually spoken to him outside of the suit at this point is to yell at him like... y’all...

and this is not me hating on mari because i love her so so so much. i just hate how passionate and heated fans get about this. i mean... y’all... adrien didn’t even think mari liked him??? like, in puppeteer two, he is literally upset because he came to the conclusion that mari hates him. also, of course he’s not like in love with or crushing on her when she’s barely spoken actual sentences to him! again, not me hating on mari and her nerves because like i get it, it’s hard. and also this is like adrien’s first time interacting with people as peers, so 1. of course romance is not his main priority 2. he doesn’t understand social cues or situations very well At All which is made abundantly clear in the show 3. i don’t... i don’t think adrien knows what affection is??? i mean, he’s definitely learned some over the course of the show, but he’s used to a neglectful / abusive father, his stoic assistant, his bodyguard who doesn’t really talk like at all, chloé being chloé, and hoards of fans declaring that they’re in love with him, hanging all over him, acting like he’s a shiny thing rather than a person, etc... so like. how is adrien supposed to actually comprehend that mari likes him???

and okay no my last point: so so so sick of the double standard. i have seen countless people rant and rave and scream and shout about how stupid adrien is for not returning mari’s feelings or knowing he has a crush on her and then these same people will turn around and berate chat noir and say things like “gosh ladybug isn’t obligated to return his feelings:/” like... hELLO??? why is ladybug not obligated while adrien is??? it’s ridiculous and disgusting and i’m so so so tired of “just a friend” jokes on tumblr, in art, in fics, in youtube compilations... like... can’t we be normal about this? and i don’t mean normal as in “casually enjoy” i mean normal as in can we stop being so aggressive and harsh and hostile towards literal fourteen year olds my God they’re children they’re allowed to make mistakes and mess up and my God the way y’all talk about lila is disgusting, too like i hate her but i don’t want her tortured and killed??? and the way people characterize the classmates as physically and verbally assaulting mari because of lila??? like... my God they would never??? they would all honestly side with mari chameleon is a bad episode and is poorly written and everyone is out of character please use your critical thinking skills and understand that chat noir is not harassing ladybug anymore than mari may be harassing adrien (aka they are not harassing each other at all my God) and stop insulting and demonizing fourteen year olds so your otp can get together thanks
