cost and benefit
#Fun fact 99% of my comics aren't planned out beforehand so i just go with the vibes#this was originally going to be something like him finding anyas file or seeing thorn princess but that felt a little cliched to me#with some sort of line like 'is the cost worth it?' or 'when did the cost start outweighing the benefit?'#but i dont think i explore repressed twilight as he is in canon a lot#his mind is seriously a maze#we see him gaslight himself so often#thats why softer fanon representation to me doesnt exactly feel in character unless its like post reveal#he's still deep in his own burrow#Anyways!!!!!! ive ranted enough. i did this in two days when i have a million other time intensive things to do instead. decisions!#also nobody look at bond too closely. i still cant draw animals#my art#spy x family#loid forger#sxf#yor forger#twiyor#anya forger

MDZS x Firefly AU: A ragtag crew.
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#mdzs au#firefly#wei wuxian#jiang cheng#lan wangji#jiang yanli#Wen Ning#Wen Qing#nie huaisang#xue yang#A-qing#That's right! this month's flavour of MDZS AU is Space Western!#I recently rewatched the show and forgot that the lore essentially made everyone bilingual in Mandarin and English.#It's fun to hear characters talk in mandarin and now understand a little bit of what they're saying!#A Firefly AU fits them so well and I need to talk about it.#I have strong thoughts about my placement for all of these characters. Let's start with the most likely to be contraversial:#I think a less thought-out AU would pitch Wei Wuxian as the Captain or a Companion.#But there are a several reasons why that would simply not be the case:#Wei Wuxian is smart! He's good at what he finds a passion and interest in! Piloting is a complex skill that grants him a freedom to explore#He wants to kick back and chill! He would hate the responsibility of being the captain! That's JC's job!#In my heart he's also second in command - which does make WWX essentially Zoe and Wash smashed together.#Companions are also persons of high rank in this universe. Something WWX is very...not defined as.#Someone beautiful of higher social rank...someone who yearns for someone they want to explode in their mind...It was no contest.#I think there are a lot if really interesting things to explore with LWJ as a companion. Functionally they are similar to Courtesans -#But it isn't always about the sex - A Lan Wangji who sees himself only through the wants and needs of others -#is a really interesting angle I have been pondering a lot about.#Final thought to close up this long ramble: Yes. It is so essential that every space crew have a 'Weird Teen (girl optional) on board'.#Will I post more of this? Maybe! If people want to see more!

Thinks about the fact that people in the isat universe, or at the very least siffrin and mirabelle (and I wouldn't be surprised if it was others too considering the complete lack of surprise/comment on the ability) can just like . . . literally feel the presence of people they can't see, and can sometimes even pinpoint it as a specific person if they know them.
#I'm back tracking through the gen isat tag on ao3 so it's possible I just haven't encountered it yet but#I've yet to see anyone explore this#it's such a neat little thing I think#isat#isat spoilers#in stars and time#isat siffrin#isat mirabelle#is it craft? is it an inherent extra sense? is it something else?#I don't know but it's fun!#not arting

ik this is out of the blue, but how different would your regular Sun and Moon be if Sun was affected by the virus instead of Moon?
Hi!! Thankies for asking!
I do have an oolddd doodle of something like this! Where Sun would try to keep someone up CONSTANLY, rather than Moon trying to put someone to sleep while virus'd!!
It was honestly made as a joke when I made it, but if anything this would be the closest to a "virus'd Sun" I've ever really thought about. Moon would still be sweet, and soft spoken, probably taking the role of the more anxious one rather than Sun. Given the events of my fic To Understand You, it would be VASTLY different in the way sun/moon interact with you- Although I think similar plot points would still play out normally, just role-reversed. :O
#What a fun thing to think about#Sun standing up tall#Head tilted just a bit and staring blankly.. squinted.. at the door as you watch it too#Someone's out there#Probably a passerby#But somethings ringing in Sun's head#Protocols blasting off signals in all directions so hard for him to ignore#OUUGH VIRUS'D SUN WOULD BE SO WEIRD BUT COOL TO EXPLORE... hm..#moondrop#sundrop#daycare attendant#fnaf moon#fnaf sun#sundropfnaf#moondropfnaf#sunfnaf#moonfnaf#my art#repost tho i think#Wakey wakey#sundrop x reader#moondrop x reader#sundrop x y/n#moondrop x y/n#dca au

ok his so this ask is incredibly self-indulged, but I do wonder: the beasts are ancient, aren't they? like, before PV kinda old essentially, what I am saying is these old geezers would crumble with modern technology it'd be kinda cute, too, actually - I mean, Smilk would have smth knew to learn :]] but honestly I just need these guys to discover technology for the first time. ask them where the app store is and they'll open a map also, in context of the goldenraisen art you made: smilk discovering gay marriage (bro still believes in asking for blessings) (he doesn't know you can act like this before marriage) (he will implode in 5 minutes) /jj
i love the concept of these (no longer) all powerful beings suddenly having to deal with modern tech, its so funny. whos peepaw at barnes and nobles looking at bl right now
anyway i agree thatd be both cute and so fUCKING funny. try to explain the whole thing of streaming to mystic flour or any other beast. what the fuck
and while i think that they would very quickly get familiar with it (not to mention, shadow milk could peep into the outside world when imprisoned, making him even less of a stranger to tech), there surely would be a period of time for every beast where they need to learn what a car is. or computers.
though hm. besides the guy-knows-all, i have a feeling burning spice would also be more or less familiar with tech. he witnessed many civilizations rise and fall, there had to be something?? unless we want to stick to the fantasy setting with the beasts backstories i suppose
also yOU FOOL. YOU FOOL. /j SHADOW MILK INVENTED THE GAY MARRIAGE. THIS COOKIE SWINGS ALL THE WAYS (in the past he considered asking for blessings a very formal and also romantic thing to do. after being imprisoned by witches, he would ridicule this idea)
#ask#anon#dejammed au#shadow milk cookie#my art#fanart#digital art#ive been actually thinking about this concept for a while#i wanna do something more to explore it bc its so fun

after playing COH, i'm a bit sad to see how underrepresented it is in links meet aus (and just in general.) luckily, i am an artist, so i thought i'd try designing what COH link would look like if he was redesigned by various artists!
(aus/artists these are based on, from left to right: @linkeduniverse, @author-main, @sable-skies, @cokoakeostuff, @the-phantom-peach, @linked-maze, @minas-linkverse, and @clowns0up-felix)
#cadence of hyrule#coh#coh link#my art#linked universe#ask lu wild#<- arguably? most of author-main's link designs are for aluw but not all of them. schrodinger's aluw#heartlinked#<- again. arguably. a lot of sable-skies' link designs are technically lu i think?#hero's paradox#linked maze#mina's linkverse#the-phantom-peach and clowns0up-felix's link designs aren't for an au as far as i know#anyway! this was a lot of fun. a very interesting way to both explore coh link's character design and the character design philosophies of#a bunch of artists. author-main and sable-skies were probably the most interesting to do since they were based on the lu one#it was fun to interpret a design through the lens of lu and then to interpret the resulting design through the lens of another artist#i would recommend doing this (or something similar) if you enjoy character design#also please ask me about my thought process for any of these i put a lot of thought into them

Explorer au meets trolls world tour
This is the current final post since I don't have anything else ready and or queued up XD
Jade finds herself separated from her family and looking for a way back, the world is big and dangerous so she becomes a bounty hunter as a means of assisting her search, she thinks she's getting close when a world shaking tour and an interesting bounty fall on her plate.
Branch (since this is still within the N2 au just shifted a bit) has been living with Floyd so he's changed a bit, he tried to give himself bangs, which didn't work out, and he now wears a brown tunic under his leaf vest, a gift from another person who helped him and floyd out, a secret someone yet to be revealed teehee.
Poppy is mostly unchanged, as most of the N2 au effects Brozone, tho she is a bit closer with Branch than in canon due to circumstances!
#trolls#dreamworks trolls#trolls world tour#broppy#trolls branch#trolls poppy#trolls au#twt#n2 au#n2 explorer au#trolls oc#trolls oc jade#trolls hickory#i realized like forever after i made jades design and stuff#that she resembled Valka in terms of the skull mask and her general story#and i was like damn my httyd hyperfixation is making out with my trolls one#they even have a staff#and a skull mask#tho valkas i think is different#Jades is for blending in#scaring her marks#and is a trophy#its the skull of the bird that took her leg#her staff acts as a perch or a grabber for something teehee#but yeah i didnt notice the similarities until way later#it was unintentional#but its fun#its still dreamworks#the same thing happened when i realized branchs outfit is similar to shreks#leaf vest over brown shirt lmao

something something about Caleb Dume surviving the genocide of his people and divorcing himself from his culture and remaking himself entirely in order to survive
and something something about orphaned Ezra Bridger who loves Lothal but doesn’t quite belong being adopted into a self-made-cobbled-together family of outcasts from multiple cultures
and something something about Kanan choosing to embrace his culture and religion again despite his fear and the risk it brings to him and his family
and something something about Ezra embracing that culture as whole-heartedly as he can when so much of it has been lost
and something something about both of being denied the ability to practice certain aspects of their religion because otherwise they might be killed for it
and something something about Kanan remembering how Master Billaba carefully sheared his hair and oh so reverently plaited his Padawan braid and held it gently between her fingertips and told him she would do right by him and told him not to be afraid and told him she would be there for him until her dying breath and beyond and told him that he was going to be a great Jedi Knight one day and told him “you are our future youngling and I will do everything in my power to protect that future”
and something something about Kanan looking at Ezra’s wild hair with something hollow and aching tucked between his ribs because he longs to show Ezra the devotion his Master showed him and her Master showed before her and his Master before him but it’s not safe to gently plait that Padawan braid behind Ezra’s ear because such a sign of devotion will mean death and Kanan can only hope that Ezra understands how much Kanan loves him and how much Kanan is proud of him and how much hope and life he sees in his Padawan because while that Padawan braid may be the physical link between future and past tying together generations of Masters and Padawans who have lived and loved and passed on because “we are what they grow beyond”—
Kanan knows that every moment has led to this and Ezra is the future his Master and her Master before her never expected but they would be so proud to see Ezra now and Kanan can only hope Ezra knows how proud Kanan is of him too and know when he looks at Ezra he knows everything is going to be okay because “we are what they grow beyond” and despite everything that’s been lost to them Ezra is carrying the heart and soul of thousands of years of legacy and Kanan looks at Ezra knowing he can’t give him that Padawan braid but he’ll be damned if he can’t teach him the things that matter and he’ll be damned if he doesn’t do everything to protect the future he sees in Ezra’s eyes
#yeah im feeling some feels rn#Kanan jarrus#Ezra bridger#Star Wars rebels#Sw:r#rebels#Star Wars#shatterpoint lineage#Sw meta#meta#I guess#cross talks#mace windy#depa billaba#Jedi order#Jedi#listen genocide is So Fucked#and horrific#and the remaking of yourself in order to survive and then trying to reconnect when you realize the risk is now worth the danger#it does something to you#honestly fuck everyone who think the Jedi deserved it#just look at our world now and see what’s happening#bc star wars isn’t just a fun little story where everything is black and white#just like any story it’s a vehicle to explore and convey the human experience#Star Wars meta#anyways im sad Kanan could never give Ezra a Padawan braid#Caleb Dume

so i do think it's very interesting how, at least from what i've observed, people see/depict worst logan as kind of different from the x men logan in terms of their propensity for violence, or rather how this violence is released. i think it has to do with a couple of things:
as many have pointed out, wade is the only one who has ever been able to match him in a fight. so it makes sense that people would headcanon their relationship as involving fights on the regular. but also;
most of what we see from him in the movie is him fighting, and so we assume that he has a tendency towards it, especially since the past he's trying to escape from is exactly that: him being violent towards others, including those who don't deserve it. i think this has definitely subconsciously shaped some people's perception of him in some way.
but i think it's good to remember that what we are shown isn't proportionate to who he is, because the movie necessarily can't develop his character much outside of the plot. i don't think worst logan and x-men logan are different at all in the sense of x-men logan being "gentler", because not only have we just not had the chance to see worst logan act otherwise, but x-men logan also has this same animalistic violence in him. we can see how quickly he unleashes himself in the movies when the situation calls for it, and even when he's doing it to protect, there's still that rage underneath it all.
worst logan is violent towards wade because 1. he's projecting, and 2. wade can take it. but also it's a symptom of something else that he hasn't worked through, possibly decades of trauma he hasn't worked through. i'm working on a fic that explores this rn, but my headcanon is that his post-x-men rampage was a sort of addiction for him because of the release it gave him, which he then replaced with getting shitfaced, and finding someone who could take him in a fight (wade) could be a reversion to the former addiction if he doesn't work on it. (i think that especially with superhero movies, it's so easy to brush off violence as just another normal thing, but realistically, a failure to unpack all that baggage could escalate his problems into something way worse.)
so imo i think worst logan is practically the same, if not very similar, to x-men logan, just that he's a variant that was dealt the worst card, but we interpret his character differently because all we're shown is what he became because of it. we all know logan is gentle with his lovers, and i think that unless wade shows that he enjoys it, logan would not be violent towards him just because wade can take it. just because you can doesn't mean you should, and i think he of all people would understand that
#user: gossippool 😝#gossippool metas#wow i've been thinking about this for a LONG time but that post i reblogged prompted me to write this finally#i've always been so interested in exploring the concept of violence and how it manifests#and the devastating consequences of leaving it unchecked#so. yeah#i don't think there is really a point to this lmao it's just something i want to say#and again. disclaimer that i still love reading fics where they fuck and fight and where logan just stabs wade for no reason#but it should be all in good fun and not because of an underlying problem left untreated#deadpool and wolverine#deadpool & wolverine#poolverine#wolverine#logan howlett#deadpool

Doorkeay shippers I’m curious… how do you imagine their relationship came to be? Did Gerry meet Michael back when he was still Gertrude’s assistant, and then reunited with him post-Distortion? Did Gerry encounter Distortion Michael and was lucky enough to win its favor? Was Gerry hunting Michael, or was it vice versa? Did they team up at some point? Did Michael have it out for Gerry but gradually changed his mind? Had Gertrude placed protections on Gerry, leading to an entertaining “I-can’t-harm-you-but-I-really-want-to” dynamic until they became friends? Or do you simply just rotate them in your mind and not care about the “lore” details of this fun little crack ship? I haven’t read much Doorkeay fan fiction yet, so I really haven’t delved into any interpretations of them story-wise, just fun fanart existing in limbo. They don’t need a story of course, but I’d love to hear what people have come up with! Doorkeay is a wonderland of possibilities, after all :)
#see what I did there?#ofc there are troubles concerning the canonical timeline but i think we’ve all agreed to ignore that in terms of doorkeay#idk im just curious to see how people are exploring their relationship :D it’s so much fun playing with something that isn’t canon#and interpreting it your own way#the magnus archives#tma#tma podcast#doorkeay#gerrymichael#michael shelley#michael the distortion#tma michael#gerry keay#gerard keay#tma gerry

The idea that people will take the cringy lyrics or singing as a point against Lost Records is just... baffling to me. These are TEENAGERS. Making things they enjoy. Of course adults will look at those things and think they're not good. That's the point! They're doing things for themselves, and getting carried away with their passion for it. They make a shoddy music video and it's the coolest thing to them because it's something they made. They're loud and obnoxious and chaotic because that's what being a teenager is about. They don't have proper technique or whatever, they're just making music to scream all the confusing feelings and frustrations they hold inside them. The music being "bad" or "cringy" IS the point.
#billie's rambling again#lost records bloom and rage#like watching swann's tapes makes me think about the crummy let's plays I used to make when I was a teenager#and it also makes me think of everything else I did as a teen#that stuff is obviously beneath me now but like... I still made it.#I wouldn't for a million years go back in time and tell my past self 'actually don't do this. it will end up being cringe'#like NO! it was me exploring something I was passionate about!! and that is important!! even if it sucks!!!!#and honestly it's an art that adults really should relearn tbh because some of you mfs really have lost the love of just doing shit#if you're reading these tags go do something fun and creative or whatever right now!#let yourself be cringe

Kingdom Hearts 3 - Rage Form
#kingdom hearts 3#kh3#sora#rage form#arendelle#formchange#my gif#rage form is so intriguing#sora still behaves in a wild animalistic fashion similar to his anti form but it's different#anti form felt as if he relinquished all self control and acted strictly on instinct just like a heartless#he used to run around hunched over on all fours and fight tooth and claw with reckless abandon#but here you can at least see SOME semblance of who he is. he's able to wield his keyblade while in this form which is pretty major#he still fights in an absolutely chaotic and primal manner but it feels evolved#the big difference is you call upon rage form at will. he channels his rage and darkness in a desperate last resort to stay alive#which is very significant but he still loses some control like the ability to use of magic; items; shotlocks; etc#it's cool to see darkness used in this way but i really want sora to able to explore themes of darkness within himself in future games#i want these to be more than cool forms with fun gameplay. i want them to have implications that something dark is brewing and needs to be-#brought to the surface and tackled head on because we've never seen anyone capable of cloaking themselves in darkness in such a way#take riku's dark form for example. he's in control and he's very much still himself. it's entirely different#on another note i'm now thinking about how hp is fully restored when activating rage form but you have the choice to give it up again-#when using risk charge. it'll increase attack damage but you're still walking a dangerous line in the pursuit of power

I've decided
The mercurioverse is a universe where, no matter what, for whatever reason, nothing fully bad, evil or seriously world threatening happens
It all stopped one day and everyone from Team Sonic or otherwise is like ?????
Eggman, try as he might, can't get his plans to work as well as they used to anymore. Something always happens and it's weird and it sucks (he just keeps trying cuz he's bored)
So without anything world threatening happening anymore... what will our heroes do? What happens now?
I'll tell you what
SLICE OF LIFE -gets run over-
#the bad stuff will begin to pick up again.#slowly#something is happening right under their noses. they just dont know it yet#💥#mercurio talks#mercurioverse#i just think putting characters that thrive under heavy action focused situations#in a narrative where nothing ever fucking happens#makes for incredibly fun shit#they can explore themselves in ways that are not directly tied to the fate of the world#the agony!!!!

Sometimes I think about Cal being an explorer/archaeologist for the Order if it had never fallen and I cry
#him being friends with master Cordova#doing expeditions together#Cordova giving bd-1 to Cal because he gets sent out to explore more often#and he would be just as important to the Order as Quinlan being a shadow#not in a political way but for their history and knowledge which is just as if not more important to the Jedi#Cal being able to do something he clearly loves in the games without crushing time limits or pressure to find/protect things from the empire#Cal being able to just exist and have fun exploring old force wielder ruins with Bd for the Jedi Archives#without worrying about the empire breathing down his neck#literally just solving puzzles and collecting seeds for his garden on his own ship#no war not being hunted or in hiding#god#I think about the kind of Jedi he could have been without the purge constantly#and it always crushes me#he could’ve been a temple guard…#a creche master…#he could have worked in the archives…#;~;#i’m inconsolable#cal kestis#jedi fallen order#jedi survivor
