tracked down this clip just because of this post! have jokes from skizz and scar

[books-not-people]

AU where when Danny first got in the portal for the picture jazz being the protective older sister she is and knowing her parents "lab safety" she goes in with Danny and when he trips her immediate thought was to save him from falling in the danger trap she considered the portal and they both become halfas que the canon ghost shenanigans but add protect younger siblings obsessed jazz being a absolute nightmare standing behind Danny the hole time just daring someone to go after team phantom and any time they do they immediately regret as they have angered the older sibling and mercy is not an option.

When pariah dark happens they team up to own him no suit required and jazz and Danny become sibling rulers of the realms.

Somehow their parents find out and go mad scientist on them jazz is 18 in this so says fuck you takes Danny and as the nature secretly petty as shit just calls CPS and takes Danny and sues her parents for child support.

They + Sam & Tucker (because they can convince Tucker's parents it will be good for his future tech career and Sam just tells her parents she's going to stay with her dads side of the family(the drakes)) go to Gotham because no GIW unlike Amity and is ecto rich I also imagine that both are on their way to becoming Ancients of space (Danny) and as odd as it seems older siblings(jazz) they are confused at first until it's explained that the belief of the love and protections that older siblings are some of the most protective and also mischievous towards their younger siblings has built up to for an ancient and jazz just happened to become that ancient.

Que jazz helping college students in the Gotham U library study when they miss their older siblings help like when they where growing up and just being a protection spirit but to siblings in particular. This becomes super annoying when the bats and the birds start setting off her instincts after joker escapes and she can only relax after beating the shit out of him with the anti-creep stick in front of red hood who promptly falls in love with her much to the annoyance of Danny who was already secretly dating tim and meeting at the local coffee shop and ordering their coffee

Feel free to add your own ideas and if anyone writes it please send me a link or title I would love to support your story💖

[wishchip106]

“There are thousands of men on those ships. Good, honest, innocent men! They’re just following orders.”

imagine the betrayal Erik must’ve felt hearing those words come out of Charles’ mouth

coming to the conclusion that maybe Charles doesn’t understand him, maybe he is really just like the people who turn a blind eye to those who are suffering

that probably gave him the push to send those missiles out towards the ships. no more men following orders to ruin the world

and maybe that’s why Erik so desperately tried to convince Charles to join him. Maybe there’s a chance that Charles will understand and will rightfully join him by his side

but he doesn’t. Charles doesn’t love him. So Erik leaves

[eastons-creations]

My ultimate fic recs

Made a poll and a lot of people said they would want this sooo here we are! These are the best fics I’ve read (: The og post

Top 3

1- To Be Alone With You By Shay_Fae

In the summer of their sixth year, Remus Lupin tried to kill himself.

2- Something Just Like This By shadow_prince

a fake dating modern AU where Sirius has been telling Mrs. Potter he's dating someone for 9 months and she demands his "boyfriend" comes on their family vacation. Queue: shenanigans between wolfstar and jily as they lie their asses off.

3- Text Talk By merlywhirls/mssrsmoony on ao3 or @juuuuzou on here.

Sirius is in boarding school, Remus is in hospital, and they don't know each other until Sirius texts the wrong number.

Other recs bellow break (in no order)

Wading in waist high water By @colgatebluemintygel

Remus is a PhD student and hobbyist baker who finds himself adrift following his father’s death. On a whim, he enters the Great British Bake Off and is swept up in a flurry of curdled custard, shrunken souffle, and under-proved dough. Remus expects to be challenged and to embarrass himself on public television. What he doesn’t account for are the friendships he develops with the other contestants and the deep connection he forms with his teenage crush, Sirius Black: charming ex-boy band member and Bake Off host

Beneath a big blue sky by @eyra

The four-by-four heaves its way down long, twisting lanes, little more than dirt tracks scuffed into the surrounding fields and hemmed in by serpentine walls of flat, grey stone. They truly are in the middle of nowhere: the countryside rushes past, all rolling green hills and vast, endless skies, and it's odious. Sirius wants to murder James with his bare hands. Sirius and James accidentally find themselves on a Yorkshire farm during lambing season. The farmer’s son thinks that’s a bit annoying, actually.

A brief history of dragons by @eyra

It's lovely up here; all meadows dotted with wildflowers, wind-beaten tracks criss-crossing this way and that through the fields, weaving inland to the pinewoods. The sun's hot on his back as he passes ramshackle stone walls, long since crumbled to piles of ancient rubble and scree, and then the path winds downwards, still following the line of the coast until Sirius finds himself outside an old white cottage, tucked away behind the hill with a rose garden that faces out to the sea. Sirius moves to Cornwall for the summer and meets a rude, beautiful boy who is writing a book that may or may not be about dragons

Let’s play pretend by MsAlexWP on ao3 but @languagelessonswolfstar on here

After James and Lily died, Sirius Black's therapist told him not to date for a year. And that's just as well. He's got a 13-month-old baby now and quite enough to deal with, thanks. But the nosy neighbors in his building keep trying to set him up and won't take no for an answer. Enter Remus Lupin, another single dad who pretends to be Sirius's boyfriend, just to get the old lady brigade off his back and nothing more. Nothing more at all.

Forever in a state of mind by orphan_account

Deaf Dance Choreographer, Remus Lupin, has a simple life. Working, taking care of his son, and running his YouTube sign channel. When he unwittingly becomes involved with Deaf Pride Activist, Fleamont Potter, he doesn't realise how much his life will change. Especially after he meets YouTube star and makeup artist, Sirius Black.

Sugar rush by Stricklymarauders

James, Sirius, Peter, and Dorcas have been best friends for years and are starting their senior year of highschool. To Sirius' dismay he doesn't have any friends in his history class, but after eventually showing up, he finds he sits next to a tall curly hair boy who takes his breath away, Remus Lupin. He decided right then and there that he must make this boy fall in love with him and recruits James to be his wingman, until James is distracted by Remus' best friend with a personality as fiery has her hair, Lily Evans.

Dating Remus lupin by Children_of_the_Shadow

Remus Lupin is a mystery to the whole school; the boy who's quiet, aloof, and cold. He also happens to be queer, which is enough to gain Sirius's interest. What Sirius never realised that dating Remus Lupin wasn't quite as easy as it looked.

Blends by rvltn909

Words got in the way sometimes, but Remus got the sense Sirius knew what he was trying to say. Another coffee shop au.

Camp Casanova by Farquad on ao3 but I believe @lord-levi on here.

All lonely 11 years old Remus Lupin wants is a friend. But when he arrives at Slughorn's summer camp for teenage boys his world turns upside down since he finds himself sharing a cabin with three other boys; James Potter, Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black. As the years pass by Remus finds himself birthing friendships, fighting bullies, but above all battling his own feelings which soon gets out of control. He struggles to keep his biggest secret, and he wonders how he could've fallen so deeply in love.

Turn on my charm by Bethanlovescoffee on ao3 but @bethansfandoms on here ❤️ (all of their fics are worth the read honestly)

Sirius Black is a YouTube phenomenon. A YouTube phenomenon who develops a crush on his video editor.

[zeldalizzy]

You know what time it is?

(Yes, I did post this at exactly 4:00 P.M.)

But that's not the point!! It's time for another poll! This time, it's Four's turn. I actually... yeah, I've got no ideas for the poor guy. Please send help 😂 Obviously it will be a while before I get started on this one, but I want to send the poll out now so by the time I finish Hyrule, I can get started on Four!!

Thank you to everyone who has helped me brainstorm, voted, liked, reblogged, commented, and overall just supported this fun crossover series! It has been so helpful in helping me grow in both my artistic skills and confidence! Happy Holidays!! 🎄✨

[totallynottinsel]

I'd like to proudly announce The Hobbit Real-Time Fandub is here!

[damfangirl08]

I'm writing something right now and I wanted Warriors and Legend to argue for extra drama but it became very personal and I accidentally made them both go too far so extra angst it is ( @blueskybehindtheclouds help me)

[angeart]

---- HMTB CHAPTER 55----

HMTB chapter 55: A Boatem We

is now posted on AO3!!

---

It’s up to Grian to reel Scar in. It’s up to Grian to make sure everyone remains unharmed. It’s up to Grian to disentangle this and defuse the explosives they’re all stubbornly setting up—himself included.

But nobody’s listening to him, because Impulse isn’t stopping, and Scar is ready and willing to deliberately step over that tripwire, uncaring for the collateral, and Mumbo doesn’t understand that what he’s holding fire to is just another TNT, and Grian is tired, he’s so very tired. His hands aren’t made for defusing. He’s made of flint and steel, wax knots and gunpowder core. Not this.

[guy-with-the-sleeping-princess]

Hero of the Historia *:･ﾟ✧

I may have been crafting my own Link build behind the scenes with the help of @r4vioandrupees, @serysem, and others within discord so hopefully you enjoy him! I'll place him under a cut so everything doesn't make your dash too overcrowded

(Original build/concept art)

He also has glasses he is supposed to wear which i wouldn't have thought to add till later thanks to @hyruledwarriorr

(Glasses art + doodle of him in them)

The hero of the Historia takes place as the Link, known here as Link Dotour, after the Hero of Twilight and thus firmly places him on the child timeline. Despite being needed in Hyrule he originated from Termina as a relative, or descendant, of both Kafei and Anju thanks to "The Grasshopper" as our Link knows him. Seeing as he grew up in Termina and not Hyrule (until the age of 7 or so for reasons) he moreso heard of The Hero of Time by the nickname his great aunt Romani called him by.

Despite the triforce of courage being drop shipped to Termina he eventually moved to Hyrule along with his godmother,she spoke of the Hero of Twilight as the Rancher she once knew. With that he was gifted a cat, Seraphina, to keep him company despite moving farther away from any family he knew besides her.

But in doing so he was gifted with the catalyst to his first quest at 7 years old as she would eventually run and get lost within the same woods the rancher once explored and find a mansion built over the temple of time. Within it he would find a decayed form of the Master sword he kept calling "Miss Fi" as she could talk to him in glitchy spurts, a key instrument, the Temporal Trumpet, and the corrupted forms of Twinrova. (this adventure's style is supposed to be JRPGMaker horror a-la Mad Father or The Witch's House) The Master Sword would end up decayed thanks to time. Keep this in mind as this will be a running theme.

(The Temporal Trumpet + A list of features and notes, the rifts only happen in his 3rd adventure)

His second adventure did not happen till he was 14, giving him time to rest and hope he was done with all the revivals and visions, as you would have seen on the last adventure, every continue was canon as he died but never stayed dead as to make sure he would not fail. As for the visions, Hylia sent him clips of the past, and future, heroes of every branch to catalog and let him learn from their mistakes.

(The Swords of his adventures + misc daggers he keeps hidden on him)

The Second adventure would catch him off guard at a carnival when Vaati decided to come back to play around, letting him fall into were the Magic Sword of the Hero of Hyrule was kept. In doing so it led him to a maze of underground caverns controlled by the wind and hidden safes of the last two pieces of the triforce. With them down there it led the two on a mad chase to get to get to each piece first which resulted in Link eating the pieces right in front of Vaati so he could not swipe them. Alongside his escapades this is also where his Zelda comes in (as designed by @individualperson8756), searching for him as to make sure the king couldn't due to a useless war with a nation not even on any heroes radar. The King wanted him as a trophy piece, to bolster their bark in a way, but Zelda knew the kind was out of his mind and Link was needed elsewhere, albeit not eating ancient relics, Despite that she was an enemy at the start until she could get it through his head that she was trying to save him from a common one. He also acquired two key items, the Loft Wing to glide with the cavern's winds and the Breeze Baton, which should look familiar, to control them for himself (This adventure's style is supposed to be a more classical LoZ game in the vein of Minish Cap)

(Loft Wings + Breeze Baton concepts and notes)

His Third adventure happens a close while after at 15, but he turns 16 during it, seeing as it is his latest it is still a work in progress with the item still being unnamed but i do still have some information laid out. It would be more of a D&D inspired party system adventure including a friend he picked up in his second adventure and his Zelda. They would also be going up against a broken down Ghirahim alongside him switching out the sword + Shield style for a dual-wielding sped up style of combat, that would remain his style for the rest of his time as an adventurer. Seeing as it is more of a party game he would be bringing many of his past items with the Temporal Trumpet causing them to chase Ghirahim throughout the timeline and through the battles Demise's curse brought onto the Hero's Spirit until finally getting to end him with Miss Fi.

I also do have an idea for a section where Chronicle, his Zelda, gets the party thrown in jail for starting a fight but of course it is still in the starting idea/concepts phase.

Seeing as there are Party Mechanics and Link doesn't use as many magic items as he does melee, he would instead use an item that boosts others' magic and their abilities as seen here for the 3rd adventure's new Key Item.

(Unnamed item concept + notes, the other eye color in the lower gem belongs to @r4vioandrupees' Link Legacy)

That is all the Information/concepts i have on him for now! if you need any more or would like to ask anything please let me know! He is still very much a work in progress as you can see so please excuse any of the gaps in the stories or data ^^' and thank you for reading to the end!

Pour Molten Into My Soul (And Help Me Learn to Shine like Gold)- Chapter 2

Where steps backwards are taken, a movie is watched and fists are thrown, and some small steps forward. (But will it ever be enough?)

[maspers]

If someone were to make an Undertale Fandom Polka, what songs would be in it?

What I got so far:

Oh! One True Love and/or Oh! Dungeon from the original game.

Laura Shigihara's Don't Forget from the end of Deltarune Ch. 1.

Wrong Number Song from the original game.

UNDERTALE THE MUSICAL by LHUGUENY

Undertale the Musical by Man on the Internet (I'm thinking specifically Hopes and Dreams and Megalovania but there's so many that could easily be squeezed in there)

Honestly at the end would probably be a rapid-fire chorus of just about every Megalovania cover out there, including the one from Undertale Genocide: The Musical, Undertale the Narrator's Musical, Ori Eta's cover, Juno Songs's cover, Hailey Lain's acapella cover, and a bajillion other ones all in one go. Keep them in their own little section. Bonus points to Aria Rose's Megalomaniac since that's also getting a Glitchtale reference in there.

The Stupendium's Way Deeper Down and Ad Infinitum

TryHardNinja's Judgement

JT Music's To The Bone

djsmell's Determination

All three "Stronger Than You" parodies (Sans, Chara, Frisk)

Chi-Chi's Battle Against a True Hero cover

Griffinilla/Fandroid Music's Hard Drive

Something from one of OR30's Undertale Medleys

RecD's The World Revolving cover

DramaJosh's Best Friends Forever + AFTERLIFE cover

Random Encounters's The Fates of Undertale

Undertale - Drop Pop Candy (I genuinely am not sure who or what to credit here)

My Chemical Romance's Planetary Go, due to its usage in this video)

Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, due to being turned into Weird Al's Bohemian Polka, which was used in this video

Neither of them really have lyrics but I feel like you could include a musical motif reference to GAMER MOVE and Your Soulmate.

DomFera's Skeletons which you probably know better as Hot Dog French Fries

Annnnd that's all I've got so far, but I know I'm missing stuff. There's a distinct lack of Alphys and Undyne content! And a definite need for more Deltarune (and Undertale Yellow probably). And no AU stuff here either??? Despite this being one of my main fandoms I feel like there's a lot I just don't know about the iconic fan songs, and I feel like a Weird Al-style Polka medley would have to have EVERYTHING.

[arolesbianism]

Everyday I see another youtube video or whatever say smth along the lines of "this character is badly written because they're unlikable/annoying/insert negative description here" and everyday I end up massively disappointed because I came here for analysis on the actual writing of a character not just a description of the feelings they made you experience

[swearphil]

hi renee, do you still read schitts creek fanfic? do you have any recs? :)

A pride & prejudice AU

Red White and Blue Jays by @grapehyasynth

The Rosebud Diamond by @vivianblakesunrisebay

Patrick is a detective. David is his mysterious client. There’s a priceless diamond, a masquerade ball, murder, thievery, blackmail, secrets, betrayal, gangsters, smoking, whiskey, and angst galore. (And a happy ending.) It’s a film noir AU.

When Stevie Budd took on the role of Sally Bowles she could never have known how much she would gain from it. From the prompt: An alternate universe where Ted does not choose Alexis at the end of Season Four and Stevie and Alexis get close during Cabaret rehearsals

You Happened by @lilythesilly

David Rose is many things: talented, creative, fashion-forward, well read—the list can go on, but at the very top of that list is Extremely Rich. So he doesn’t understand why his father is making him work at Rose Video—or why Patrick Brewer, a boy he's had virtually no interaction with since they were twelve, is suddenly always around. An enemies-to-coworkers-to-friends-to-lovers high school au.

Pull The Shot. Steam The Milk. Repeat. by @treluna4

Right at the beginning of David’s junior year of college, his dad’s business partner literally took the money and ran, and the Roses were left with nothing...He moved in with his friend Stevie and got a job at the Schitt Family Coffee Roasters south campus location. David was less than thrilled by this job prospect, but no one else was hiring and rent was a thing now, so he gathered what little self-respect he had left and prepared to meet his new manager, Patrick. But as it turned out, David had met him once before. Under very, very different circumstances. Or; the hookup-to-friends-to-lovers college coffee shop AU that no one asked for.

“Look what I got Stevie!” Twyla calls as she runs through the waist-high grass towards the line of trees where Stevie’s waiting for her. By the time Twyla reaches her, her cheeks pink and her breath labored, her french braids are coming undone and there’s a twig stuck in one of them. Or, Stevie and Twyla were childhood best friends.

falling into place like dominos by @petalwritesx

David and Patrick hold a second housewarming party, this time at their newly-renovated cottage. For old times' sake, they decide to play spin the bottle. Meanwhile, Stevie has been wrestling with her feelings for Alexis since she left for New York... and it never occurred to her that those feelings could flow both ways.

you light me up like starlight by @stereopticons

Patrick and his indie band head back to their hometown to perform for the annual holiday charity concert, and David tags along, even though they are still keeping their relationship a secret.

Live By Love Though The Stars Walk Backwards by @chelle-68

Stevie returns from a work trip to discover an exhausted Patrick who has trouble sleeping without David, who has been in LA visiting his family. Stevie's offer to spend the night to keep Patrick company, hoping it will help him sleep, turns into a night of heartfelt conversation about love, friendship, fate, and taking chances.

One Single Thread of Gold by @swiftlythebest

Patrick has a baseball viewing party, and David has a lot of feelings.

as we dream by the fire by @blackandwhiteandrose

The fire is just the right amount of warm -- enough to keep David toasty but not sweaty -- so he can enjoy lying against his husband’s chest, happy and content in his embrace. Patrick brings a hand up, slipping his fingers through David’s hair. “This is a great way to spend an evening,” he says, his voice soft. “We should do this more often.”

OKAY SO

Little nervous since this is off anon, but how can I know for certain that I'm aromantic?

Like I have so many questions, but there isn't anyone I can really ask irl unfortunately

Already determined that I'm ace though, so YIPPIEE :D

Heyyy, congrats on the self discovery! :D 🎉🎉🎉

As far as knowing for certain you’re aromantic is concerned, I’d say focus on what resonates with you! Aromanticism covers a broad spectrum and no two peoples experiences are completely identical but there’s plenty of room for common ground and I think a lot of people start off by questioning once they hear or read about experiences that resonate with them. If you want to learn more about aromanticism in general then here are a couple of general resources:

AUREA (has an FAQ on aromantic experiences as well as a ton of resources - check the menu for more)

Aro wiki

Asexual and Aromantic Community and Education Club (expand the menu for more info on experiences, misconceptions, allonormativity and amatonormativity, and more resources)

You may be aromantic if … (a post containing a list of things, some of which may resonate or click with you to some degree)

Also just know you’re not taking anything from anyone by using a label you’re not 100% sure of, and if it feels right to you then go for it!
