#memes that are the same in zombie world

[brushstrokes-art]

last of the kid icarus art dump. this is more of a general dump of one-off designs, memes, and general doodles. most are self-explanatory, but there's a couple i'll comment on a little more under the cut (only a little tho.)

the top pair is the pits in the style of one of my original worlds, where angels have some very specific design specifications. i haven't posted a whole lot about that, but if you're curious there's more information under #original

below that are a pair of aus. on the left is Dragon AU, where everything is the same except replace angels with dragons. i just think they're neat.

on the right is designs for a western au, which i didn't write a whole lot about but i think there were zombies involved. don't worry about it tho, i'm sure that's fine.

[agendergorgon]

I started out in the Worm fandom (superhero webnovel, very long) by writing a stupid fic about Worm's protagonist, bullied teen Taylor Hebert who is most famous for taking the often mocked power of insect control to such ludicrous extents that any other bug controlling villain looks positively , getting the powers of a big dumb monster from Evolve and going rawr and smash. I think it was cos it was the done thing at the time, cos I'd not written any fic before, and cos I liked Evolve. I've gone back and forth over the years but I think just smooshing Worm and another powerset you like or think might be fun to write is an over saturated market but its a market that exists. A bit after that and a few embarassing rewrites or other attempts at the same sort of thing, and one hit that I kinda just kept making after people seemed to like it, and I ended up making DADA, a parody of Worm fics in the style of the usual kind of crack fic where nonsense is substituted for plot and its more about jokes than saying much. There were a couple of jokes about trends in the wider Worm fandom but the main selling point is that Taylor's power is ill defined and never elaborated upon much, and that her costume is a papier mache version of her own face.

Like so. I fuckin love this pic, credit to Pericardium who drew this after I'd sorta given up after one arc, leaving all the notes for future chapters and where to take the story as one ugly ill put together mess of a final chapter. For the longest while, this picture was the last thing left of DADA if you clicked past that ending. And it still sorta is. This is the face of DADA. Most common thing anyone said was "Why does it look like that" or talking about how it startled them scrolling across the banner on r/wormfanfic. Peri got this down perfectly, a portrait not of Taylor Hebert but of the lumpy doll fanfic likes to make of her. I made a stupid mistake a few years down the line. I decided to keep writing DADA. Like a zombie limping back to life, or a Rob Zombie limping a franchise back to life, DADA returned with plans and aspirations and ideas for a new ending and went from a brief read it over a cup of tea fic to something that had to commit to its jokey bits, something trying to be more meta than it ought to have been and barely communicating itself well. So it died again with a new ending written out same way as it was last time, in crumbs and snippets and morsels. DADA is a curse of mine that limps back to life whenever I have a new silly idea for it. Its a world that runs on wordplay and Amelia Bodelia logic and entertains cartoonish misconceptions of how people's superpowers work. (Where notorious villain Jack Slash can project the cuts of his knives to strike from extended distances, the Jack Slash of DADA makes his knives shrink and grow to physically extend as far as he is reaching with them) Its a world where villains from my other fanfics have invaded it as a superfluous additional set of antagonists. So yeah, here's DADA, its a bit impermeable without exposure to fandom memes and it changes its mind on what it is constantly throughout, but my fiance likes it so I'm gonna keep updating it as long as I have ideas on where to take it. Taylor is dead, wormfic above all.

There Are Monsters Nearby [Chapter 38]

🏜 Pairing: Grian/Scar

🧟‍♂️ Tags: zombie AU, zombie apocalypse, lovers to exes, slow burn, eventual reconciliation

📖 Summary: The day after Scar breaks up with Grian, the dead come back to life. Knowing that venturing out alone is a death sentence, the sudden onset of the apocalypse forces them to stick together despite their tensions. In the wreckage of the world, they're forced to survive side-by-side, coming to terms with the fact that—try as they might—there's still no one they trust more than each other.

Chapter 38 - Scar and BigB finally have a chance to talk. Scar also does some target practice. Grian is not invited.

“Let’s not waste time and ammunition,” he continues. “I know I’m a good shot.”

The assurance feels strange but not bad. Like a tailored shirt that still needs the cuffs and buttons put in properly. It clearly catches Cleo’s attention, their eyebrows raising as they exchange a wordless look with Etho.

“That’s not really how we do things here, Scar—” She begins, but their next words are cut off as Scar puts his hand out, reaching towards Etho and his pistol.

Without an argument, Etho hands it over. The pistol feels different in Scar’s hand, though no less familiar than any other firearm he’s used. Without waiting to warm up or check its sights, Scar turns it towards the hanging target, still swinging from when Etho shot it.

The trigger pulls back and another shot echoes through the trees, disturbing a pair of steller’s jays that begin squawking at them from the upper branches.

The target continues its pendulum swing, boosted wildly by the energy of the bullet that collided with it. It takes a second for Cleo to catch it, having to nab it out of the air in order to study the result of his shot.

Scar doesn’t mean to brag, but he does feel a burst of pride when he sees it: the slug of his bullet, buried in the exact same niche that Etho’s shot had created.

Etho whistles low, chuckling right after, and Scar grins, beaming wide when Cleo looks his way. To their credit, they’re also smiling, shaking their head in a manner that reads more amused than anything else. Clicking the safety back into place, Scar extends the pistol back out to Etho, who takes it easily and places it back in his holster.

“Am I ready now?” Scar asks. He knows it’s cocky of him, but he can’t help but be a little bold, knowing he’s more than proved himself.

You may not rest now, There Are Monsters Nearby (on ao3!)

[oiblackestsheep]

Hi! I really love your memes. Have you already done MBTI types as video games?

Thank you so much!! Honestly, I probably have at some point in the many years, but if I have, it's been a long time, so let's give it a go. I tried to get a mix of old, new, classic, and modern games in, and tried not to give every one a SUPER OBVIOUS game. Hope you like it! 😸

MBTI Types as Video Games

INTP: Slime Rancher

It took everything in my power to not do Portal 2 for INTP, because it seems like the obvious choice and I wanted something other than that. Maybe not as puzzle-oriented, but Slime Rancher captures a different side of INTPs like their affinity for unique experiences through Ne, comfort Si that allows them to organize all their slimes effectively, and their inferior Fe that lets them take care of cute little creatures with minimal risk.

INFP: Minecraft

An instant classic that lets your imagination run wild and live your life the way you think it should be lived, without the limitations of oppressive reality. Build the comfiest home with as many floors, rooms, walls, etc. as you want. Your house wouldn't be structurally sound and is impossible to create in real life? DOESN'T MATTER, it's what the INFP wants, and it what they can have in their own little world.

ENTP: Among Us

A creative and random environment where you have to either find the killer or be the killer terrorizing the space ship crew, interrupted by segments of ARGUING ~*~discussion~*~ about who the imposter might be, followed by voting to eject them into space via mob-mentality? Is there any game more chaotic and perfect for the ENTP to thrive in that I'm missing, here?

ENFP: Skyrim

You are the nonspecific protagonist with unique dragon powers that let you literally scream somebody to death, and, once again, live your life the way you want to live it, as chaotic or lawful as you might want. Become a criminal werewolf who leads a dark, murderous cult by night, and is the dean of a magical college by day? YOU CAN DO THAT.

INTJ: Satisfactory

Slowly and steadily building the most effecient space colony to mine resources and build interesting and novel alien technology? What could the INTJ want more. It won't happen overnight, but the efforts of the INTJ compound with each and every day, and one day, they'll make use of every square inch of the planet's surface for their factory.

INFJ: Coffee Talk

A lesser known game to some, but just as impactful, nonetheless. You're simply a barista in a coffee shop, but you have the pleasure of meeting and hearing the stories of a diverse cast of characters that let you into their unique inner worlds. You'll get to explore their experiences and choose your own dialogue to interact with their lives and offer your input that is tailored to the individual character.

ENTJ: Left 4 Dead

The goal is simple and well-defined: survive the zombie apocolypse. But the only way to do it in this game is to have all 4 players work together in perfect syncronicity as a well-oiled machine to cover all your bases as you traverse each level. It requires delegation of tasks, foresight of what's to come, and just a little bit of quick, thinking-on-your-feet, a perfect combination to engage their Te, Ni, and Se, respectively.

ENFJ: Mario Kart

Everyone knows Mario Kart, and everyone loves Mario Kart. Much like an ENFJ, themselves. Mario Kart has a very low barrier-to-entry so that the majority of people can learn to play quickly, and enjoy time with their friends! It's fun, it's casual, and it requires a bit of that tertiary Se to make some quick turns to finish in first. The game resembles the ENFJ personality itself, and it is a favorite of an ENFJ I know for those same reasons (as she doesn't play many video games).

ISTP: Assassin's Creed

(Couldn't find any good covers with Altair that fit tumblr's format, so I did Ezio, the fan favorite (and also probably an ENFJ assassins which is p cool?))

The franchise has undergone a lot of change over the years, so I do NOT mean the RPG elements, but rather the original elements of the games that made them so great! ISTPs would rather have a more focused way to engage the game, instead of the endless possibilities of an open-world, anyway. Quick reactions to stay hidden, a good grasp of the terrain around you and how to use it against your enemies, and a solid amount of Ti to calculate the most logical time to strike makes for a great way to engage the ISTP's top functions.

ISTJ: Super Smash Bros

Again, the goal is simple, fight your friends and be the last one standing. The rules are simple, in fact, they are completely customizable so you can save your settings to define exactly what kind of experience you want to have, and you know what to expect. You can play it simple with a set number of lives and no items, or you can crank the spawn rate of all items up to the max, if you're in a particularly low-Ne, (low-risk) feeling, kind of mood. Still, the goal is always the same. Hone your strategy, defeat your friends (or foes lmao)

ISFP: The Sims

Introverted by nature, they appreciate being able to spend some time alone without having to give up the things they like about the sensory world, including house and clothing fashion-design. These aesthetics were made to be seen, but sometimes they can only be made in a video game, and sometimes you need a break from real people. It's a realistic enough game that they can connect with it in a more relatable way than more abstract types of games, but they still please the Fi desire to live their personal life the way they wish without the limitations of reality.

ISFJ: Animal Crossing

Again, it's a familiar environment, with just a little flaire to excite that inferior Ne. You've got what seems like endless tasks (in a good way lmao) to keep you busy taking care of your island, and also forming positive relationships with your fellow residents! You get to meet new people, help solve the residents' problems, become a pillar of your community, and at the end of the day, retire to your cozy home.

ESTP: Palworld

It's new, it's weird but somehow familiar, it's Pokemon with guns. It might not be the most "original" game, but it was an inspiration nonetheless for the simple fact that it took all of the known successful elements of gameplay that people enjoy from other games, and put them all into one game that, for lack of better words, "just gives the people what they want". What you see is what you get, and it packs a punch.

ESTJ: Dark Souls

Although it is the more introverted game compared to ISTJ, it requires an incredible amount of strategy in order to champion this game. The medieval themes are familiar, but that's the only comfort the game provides due to its overwhelmingly punishing gameplay style that only the thickest of skin can overcome. What says thick skin like inferior Fi?

ESFP: Rocket League

It's extreme soccor (or football for my friends from across the pond), but instead of playing as people, you play as cars with rockets to propel them. Why, they ask? Because you want to, obviously. Realisitic enough that the concept is still based in a familiar reality, but the mayhem and competetion has been dialed up to 11 simply because it makes it more interesting that way. Again, what you see is what you get, AND IT PACKS A PUNCH.

ESFJ: Tabletop Simulator

It might seem like an odd choice, but hear me out. It's social, it's familiar, it's easy to jump into, and you're not limited to the physical copies of games that your friends have at their houses - you've got, like, any tabletop game you could possibly want to play! It alleviates the limitations we feel in real life when we want to play games with friends, but maintains the integrity of connection and fun you have with them. PLUS, you can flip the table after losing a game for comedic effect without making a mess in someone's IRL home.

Spider-man x Batfam Prompt's

Ok so lately I have seen a lot of "Spidy goes to gotham and gets adopted fics" probably cause of Dark Matter by mysterycyclone cause like, duh, that fic is a goddamn masterpiece. But I feel like a lot of them are sort of the same thing with diffrent fonts ans it feels a bit saturated. Not all of them...but most of them.

Am I saying that there needs to be less of these fics? Hell no! Keep writing them please. I just feel like there could be more variety is all.

I suggest maybe try one of these ideas out

1: Peter going straight to the Batfam or other heros (dosent always have to be Batfam) and they try to work together on how to get him home, while slowly realizing "omg, your life is terrible! We want to help you, we do, but maybe we shouldnt and try to give you a better life here. Then its just a moral delema on what to do as they get to know the spider child.

2: maybe another Spider-man is the one that goes to Hotham like Andrew or Toby. Insted of being sent home at the end of NWH, they where accidentally sent to the DCU. Or maybe one of the Spider verse characters or a cartoon version of the character. Dosent always need to be Toms Spider-man.

3: on that same note. Please give more love to What If...Zombies Peter. You guys have no Idea the amount of angst and "haha, my world ended and im fine" potental there is. And you can have the other surviving member also be there as they look for eachother (characters that "survived* (no one survived that episode) are Peter, King T'challa, Scott Lang+cape, and Ig Bruce Baner/Hulk, and Bucky Barnes since we never saw them get turned or eaten) just think about Spidey and the Batfam investigating a lab or sometbing and all of a sudden they find floating head Scott in a crate. Everyone if scared shitless while Peter is crying tires of joy as he moves to hug the floating head. Think about that and tell me Im not on to something here.

4: Have the fic start our like halfway through. Maybe skip him getting to Gotham and have him be there for a few months already or something. This will help with adding more crack fics.

5: Maybe have the fic be that Peter is there for a while, he knows everyone, they know him, they might or might not know the identitys but they trust eachother. And Peter has been looking for a way home and he finally finds it! But... he accidentally brings some of the Batfam with him. So now its the Batfams turn to learn to live in the MCU with help of Spidy and they finally understand so much about him, how he lived, and vigilanties he knows (team red!) As they learn the history and pubilc opinion or Spider-man and the world.

6: Just a react to fic. Yk, those fics where they're stuffed in a room and forced to watch something? Yeah. Have the Dark Matter cast stuffed in a room and watch some MCU clips. It dosent even have to be some magic forth wall bull shit if you dont like that. In chapter 44, Peter and co. are said to be going back to the cave, and Peter still have is suit. Canonically, Karen records everything. Maybe Peter ends up so tired he dosent even want to try to explain everything. So he just hooks up Karen to the computer and and has her show them everything from the suits recordings to security cameras and news reports, to the memes and videos spiderman fans have made.

7: have the Justice League get involed cause "Hes to bright to be one of yours Bruce!" And have him be a honorary member of the league of have them put him on Young Justice. Peter gets adopted by Batfam? Yes. Peter becomeing Bffs with the Young Justice kids and actually forming normal relationships with kids his age? Also yes.

Do I have more? Probably but Im too lazy for it rn

If you for some reason use one of my ideas, pls tag me and maybe credit me for the original idea (but I mostly want to be able to find the fic if you do make it ( o_o) )

Who knows, I might just write some of these myself if I ever get the motivation lol

[spanishskulduggery]

Is there a Spanish equivalent to "keep your cool" or of remaining calm under pressure? Cool as a cucumber 🥒?

The general expression for "keep your cool" is mantener la calma literally "to keep one's calm"

As far as cool as a cucumber, it's a bit difficult to say if there's an exact expression. The closest 1:1 expression is como si tal cosa which is more literally like "as if it were nothing", or "as if it were any (old) thing" - talking as if someone can do something while being unbothered and as if it's the easiest thing in the world; the tal cosa is sort of like "a thing of no importance", though it's literally "such a thing" it comes off as "any old thing" like not important or exciting

The very literal dictionary word for it would be despreocupado/a which is "unworried" - it's half "carefree" and half "unconcerned"; it can be "happy-go-lucky" or just someone who doesn't care what other people think

-

There are some other options but they're a bit all over the place

First I have to say if you look it up you'll see fresco/a como una lechuga "fresh as lettuce", which is not generally what that expression means; it CAN mean that, but not always

While it can be "unbothered" it usually means "well-rested" - so it's more like "fresh as a daisy", it's like you slept well and you're doing great [if you look up memes of fresco/a como una lechuga a lot of them are like zombies or people half asleep so it's like "yeah I'm doing great"]

...

The second word that might show up is campante and that one is not exactly that... it usually means "carefree" or it means "smug", like it's literally "unbothered" in a good way, and in the negative smug way. Using campante can imply that someone is acting in a way that is full of confidence maybe even shamelessly, as if they don't care or as if it doesn't worry them even if maybe it should, so it can imply arrogance

...

I think the only other one that can be maybe used is ser un témpano (de hielo) or frío/a como un témpano (de hielo)

That has sort of the same thing but it comes out more like calling someone "cold" or "emotionless"

Literally it's "to be an iceberg" or "to be cold as an iceberg"

[note: el témpano can be "iceberg" or "a floe", the full thing is el témpano de hielo but it's sometimes shortened because it almost always refers to ice anyway so the hielo "ice" can sometimes feel redundant]

You can use this to say "it's really cold out" or something is "ice cold", but it can be used with people to be "they're cold as ice" as in emotionless, practical, maybe cruel, so it's not always "cool as a cucumber"

[kineticpenguin]

It may not be your thing, but I'm interested to know your thoughts on World War Z & the work of Max Brooks in general. Especially given how hard you came down on stuff like GATE, and the arguably equally if-not-more ridiculous shit in WWZ ('Katanas are the perfect zombie killing weapon etc.')

I think it's a good narrative, but it suffers year upon year from the fact it has so many early-2000s tropes and misinformed views about everything from disease control to military equipment.

There was a whole year after the Zombie Survival Guide came out where you couldn't go online without seeing dipshits going on about smashing your staircase to survive the zombies, and I don't think I'll ever forgive him for that.

Max Brooks is an extremely frustrating author for me, and I sometimes wonder if I've been too hard on him in the past, and then I see some article about him and decide that if anything, I was too nice.

But as for the actual books themselves... I think the Zombie Survival Guide wasn't that great to begin with, and it hasn't aged well. Everything it tries to do has been done better by others over the last 20 years, for free, on the internet. It's kind of like one big reddit post from a Well Ackshually guy two years before the creation of Reddit. It is very, very, very silly, but takes itself completely seriously. So to me, it comes off as watching someone be extremely wrong with a really smug look on their face.

Which kinda gets me to my main problem with WWZ. Max Brooks' ideas about guns, military ordnance and the military in general are pretty goofy, and Brooks hits Peak Smug with the chapter with the secretary of... I forget what, but it's where Brooks is trying to make his point about the fragility of the military-industrial complex and the global economy, and he goes off on how expensive the Abrams is and that it runs on jet fuel, can you believe it? Can you believe how stupidly high tech our idiot military is? Where are you gonna get jet fuel in a zombie apocalypse?

I mean, the answer is pretty much "same place you get your diesel fuel, idiot." Jet fuel's not hard to make. Then there's also the fact that the Abrams' turbine engine will also run on just about anything you care to put in it, and running your turbine-powered vehicles and diesel-powered vehicles on the same fuel actually simplifies logistics.

It's like a zombie apocalypse envisioned by a liberal whose mindset was firmly set in the 1990s, with The End of History and The Last Man, Pentagon Wars, and boomer memes about M16s being unreliable shit.

Triple Dose Timeline (canon is puddy in my hands)

here's an explanation on how exactly Meggy got fucked over by the universe 3 times

note: The following events replace the anime arc because everyone was to busy searching for Meggy that the anime challenge never happened

Meggy was kidnapped by a group of octarians (who were ordered to do so because DJ Octavia discovered Agent 3 had a sister and had a big brained idea to not only brainwash Callie but also her as well) and got brainwashed by a second pair of hypnoshades that Octavia made (though she didn't quite go down without a fight, Octavia can attest to that)

Agent 3 (Paige) was too busy on a separate mission to go looking for Meggy much to their frustration so Marie recruiting Harbor as Agent 4 came in clutch and also Mario coming along because of course he does which both makes things easier but also more complicated

However during the final battle around the time Marie and Sheldon came barging in the platform Meggy was on ended up collapsing and she fell into the abyss below much to Mario's and everyone else's horror

Fast forward a couple weeks and after hundreds of dead ends and countless sleepless nights, the NSS were finally able to find a lead to where Meggy ended up (and also got confirmation that she still lives thank god, Paige cried a lot at the news out of relief) and so Cuttlefish and Agent 3 are off without hesitation to search for Agent 3's sister in the Metro

Meanwhile Meggy has been Sanitised by Commander Tartar who found her unconscious in the subway, and is currently accompanying Cuttlefish, 8, Desti and The Octoposse who are all stuck in this medical nightmare hell hole because of course and all (well except cuttlefish) of them are missing their memories

Cuttlefish is really worried how 3 will react to their sister being well, green now and zombie like

However despite being sanitised, partially emotionless and amnesiac she is still technically Meggy so sparks still fly between her and Desti much to the others chagrin

At least it makes solving the puzzles easier (especially the 8 ball thank GOD)

The plot of octo expansion stays relatively the same albeit with more people and a more chaotic group chat

They all end up having to team up against a partially sanitised Paige who is somehow stronger than in canon which is terrifying, and it took everything to knock them out

When the boss fight with the giant statue and Tartar happens (who wants to blow up the world because it's gone insane and so has he from the meme energy) Meggy, Desti and the Octoposse jump in the assist 8 in inking the statue to high heaven

Sanitised Meggy is basically a watered down version of canon Meggy having her emotions and memories stripped from her, she still has the desire to win splatfest ofc but she doesn't quite have the drive that made her want her to, and this deeply scares Paige and Mario

A couple years have passed since the incident and Meggy is MOSTLY back to her old self, still a bit amnesiac and lacks the reaction speed for certain emotions but better now

Then she gets fuzzified by Mr. Grizz

Meggy started to work at Grizzco. Via the suggestion of Harbor because she felt self conscious about how she looks during turf wars now cause well she looks like a zombie and it went pretty well for about 3 years

Harbor did a total fuck up and Meggy not wanting him to get fired ended up taking the fall for him

unfortunately this ended up with Mr. Grizz fucking up her back a bit, kidnapping her and then getting fuzzified which FINE

and somewhere during that struggle Meggy ends up in the Splatlands an FAR from Grizzco. and ends up running into Andi and being found thankfully by Cuttlefish

unfortunately they all soon end up falling into Alterna but hey at least she reunited with the others!

splatoon 3 remains relatively the same albiet they know mr. grizz's plan to rid he world of sea life MUCH sooner

[boredserenity385]

now we have parallel timeline events.

so they all start around the same time but sir ano ends last.

sir emony ceremony.

sir ano is basically a meatshield now since he does piss poor damage most of the time and is basically the load.

mushroom puns.

some kinda witch shows up? Probably takes place around same time as yaga stone circle.

comic relief punching bag.

man this guy is the wizard of oz parody.

and a marvel reference??? idk. He gives villain pep talks.

dorothy's house of tornado strikes again.

Westley and the idiot trio of the princess bride nods.

VOUG. rats.

princess bride confirmed with this.

hey rolith.

Robina...really.

sirvice service.

willowshire burns and other things take place before Victorias secret (def princess bride meme)

second war huh?

man this guy totally looks non sus or smth.

Thursday, Wednesday,Frydae the XIII (13th) definitely all references.

Get in mah belly is a reference too.

The art of war by Sun Tzu.

thursday and Lon and Chaney. this hints to thursday being important somehow.

Freddy Jason Micheal Chucky all pop culture horror movie villains.

zorbak too in surewould and he thinks doom weapons are a stretch.

Artix Von Krieger or Adam Bohm. The creator avatar of Artix Entertainment. Such passion... Adventure Quest Mechquest Dragonfable so on. no typos and zombie jokes all around.

Yaga stone circle. Politically correct term for witches huh? They also are a ref to dorothy and oz. Since they weak to water and turn to dust?

Guffer is just a mood. He is so polite and just is compelled by being summoned to destroy the world and all.

[ariadnasdiary]

¡Hola, Ari! Ha pasado mucho tiempo desde la última vez que me pasé por tu blog 🫣 me alegra saber que aún sigues activa en el fandom 🫂🩷 Espero que todavía esté bien enviarte algunas preguntas del weird oc ask meme!

8, 9, 11, 13, 18, 27, 28 y 30

Translation: Hello, Ari! It's been a while since I last came by your blog! I'm glad to hear you're still active in the fandom!! I hope it's ok to send you some asks of the weird oc ask me set!

Mun Ari: Awww hello anon-chan! Likewise, it's been a while since I received I lovely anon like you sending some asks! I'm very much active on instagram, there the OC fandom is very active! That's why I migrated there, but I'm still here! ^^ I'm currently working on Ari's new route, so you'll see me more active here soon! Feel free to send as many asks as you like and anytime! Just please remind me from which set and I'll be more than happy to answer!

From here~

(08) What does your OC think about ghosts?

Ariadna: Ghosts? Hmmmm…

Ariadna: I've heard that ghosts are people that died with sorrows so strong that are unable to rest or were so evil they are condemned to stay in between worlds until who-knows-when AND then I heard that no human soul remains in this world and are in fact demons trying to confuse or torment mortals. ALL theories are equally scary if you ask me *shrugs*. In any case, I prefer believing they don't actually exist~

(09) Has your OC ever seen a ghost?

Ariadna: No, I've never seen one to be honest. Well, it's not like I want to see one though! *giggles nervously*.

(11) What does your OC think about magic? Is your OC generally for or against magic?

Ariadna: I do believe in magic, ironic right? Well, the explanation is actually very simple: I've seen Kino himself using magic, therefore I know for a fact that magic exists.

Ariadna: Kino used to use magic for bad purposes, so I was really scared of it since it was more like a weapon. Yet, now that Kino has understood that a weapon so powerful can be used for good of evil, I do see it with others eyes myself.

Ariadna: Kino's magic has been useful for the ghouls' cause and to protect me personally from harm. He doesn't use it unnecessarily anymore. So, I believe that it'll depend as for which purpose magic is used that I may agree or be against it.

(13) What would your OC say would be their favorite use for magic?

Ariadna: When Kino uses his magic to protect or defend others is my favorite thing. And… *blushes* I do find him really attactive when he's in combat and protective mode.

(18) Has your OC ever had a prophetic vision or dream? If so, what did they see?

Ariadna: Hmm… I do have ocassional premonitory dreams, I don't know if they are the same with prophetic dreams. I usually dream with places that later on I visit. It can be days, months or even years later of having my dreams. The situation in which I visit the place doesn't necessarly have to be the same as that of the dream though.

Ariadna: For example, I could dream of a cafeteria and in the dream I could have dreamt of me with a dog and zombies, while later on visiting that same cafeteria but on a date with Kino. So, yeah they don't predict what would happen there or under which circunstances I'll be there, just the place.

Ariadna: The weird thing is that the places are exaclty as I dream them: every single detail is exact or pretty much similar of that of my dreams. But other than that, they are uncommon and nothing like predicting my or our futures really *shrugs*

(27) Would your OC allow a vampire into their home?

Ariadna: I mean… I live with one~ pffff

Ariadna: *with a dramatic tone* Turns out the vampire was very convincing~ He seduced me and stole my heart! I'm under a powerful spell called "love", allowing him to enter into heart no less and he has now become my home *giggles*. Not only that! We live with a ghoul as well~ what a bold lady I am, right~? *laughs*

(28) Has your OC ever witnessed a werewolf transformation?

Ariadna: No, but I heard the members of the Wolf clan can change into wolfs. I would like to see that… with a safe distance though.

(30) What supernatural creature would your OC most prefer to be?

Ariadna: I think I'm more than content with being a half founder ^^'. I do wish I had their characteristics. Kino told me that he found out that some could control magic and they could transform into snakes, wolf, eagles and bats! Not to mention they were very stong, inmortal and could heal fast. After all, it makes sense since from them derivated the rest of the clans. Such a shame I only have their blood but none of the benefits for me, unlike my blood that does provide Kino with some benefits apparently… *sighs disappointed*

Mun Ari: Thank you so much for your asks dear!!

🍺+ [Question meme!]

(side mention of @silverjetsystm! )

She's playing with fire. No, it's more like taking a trip to the moon without any training, hoping she doesn't "fall" off into gravity or somehow wind up wasting away in a moon crater. Hubris. Even so, she watches Khonshu (Khon?), progressively drunk, knowing she's not clever enough to take that... bad metaphor into space, play games with gods, whatever, that she's going to do it anyway.

After all, she has a System to think about.

"I hear things from Marc." Tess' voice is level, but carries that same note of wariness it always does. All very normal for them. "About the afterlife and how the Fists serve you when they die." Her finger taps her knee, eyes heavy-lidded. They don't quite meet the dark, hollow sockets of his own eyes. "I saw them, once." All Khonshu's old Fists stuck to him forever, losing everything that made them people. "It was like a damn zombie movie."

Oh, she hates the idea of Marc, Steven, and Jake damned to that. Fucking hates it.

🍺+ "Does it have to be that way? What happens to your Fists?"

Send 🍺+ a question and my muse will answer drunk!

He's lounging up on top of a shelf out of some desire to be up high-- historically the gods had always made a point to stand taller than humanity. They were not friends, of their people. They were pharaohs to be prayed to for mercy. Khonshu had always been a bit too close.

In the glory days he would stand in temples with his faithful, provide blessings of safety to those willing to stay the night, with his priests-- his avatars-- given the highest of his honors. As he remembers every night, he remembers every priest. Ceremonial robes evolving into ceremonial suits of armor, and still there was never any protection from death. Always replacing the fallen, either to sudden tragedy or to the inevitable erosion of time. He didn't often allow himself to reminisce, but at her words it was all too easy.

"How nice..."

To think he could have all of them in some way, even their decaying corpses, pledge their service to him for the same eternity that he would live.

He was distantly aware he didn't owe her an answer, but ale loosened his tongue. "The Ennead sets laws across the boundaries of life and death. The gods are not to interfere with the natural cycle. Immortality... Necromancy... Defiling the cycle of life and death that the gods set up so carefully in the beginning..." He made a swiping motion with his hand-- worthless. That was all within his power as a healing god, kneecapped by checks and balances. Whether Marc's soul could be pulled out of the Duat was in Osiris' hands, not his. Not fair. That body and soul belonged to him. The rules shouldn't apply to his property.

They have completed their service. They have done enough for you, Khonshu. You have to let them go. We're not speaking on this again.

"If such 'laws' exist in your world, my counterpart is ignoring them." No punishments. No ushabtis. He clenched his fists at the thought. "The things... the things I'd do with that. An army of Fists... Harrow would not have stood a chance. A fighting force without scales, without hearts, immune to judgement...!"

He laughed, brief and cruel. Maybe this is why it was frowned upon to visit other worlds, to glimpse what might've been. It just made him want to do something about the Ennead, like maybe Ammit killing all their avatars in one fell swoop was a rebellion he should've taken ages ago, rather than accept being banished. Oh, but that's the ale talking...

... Eyeless sockets met hers. "Here? They die," he answered straightforward yet not, like so many things with him. "Pity, isn't it."

That what the other wanted was in each other's world, never to be grasped.

PINNED POST!

Oh hey, I should make a pinned post. Might be a good idea.

Hi, I'm Smokey.

ABOUT ME

I'm a dragon. I used to write a hell of a lot and I'm trying to get my mojo back. Burnout is a serious ass bitch.

I don't identify as trans offline, but to quote Thought Slime: "I'm not fancy, I'll use whatever pronouns ya got lyin' around."

So, you can use: He/She/Any/All

My favorite pronoun joke, since I live in a particular state, is: "My pronouns are yee/haw."

I do however stan all my trans brothers, sisters, and non-binary siblings. You better respect trans folks or your pronouns are gonna be was/were.

👴👵HOW OLD AM I👵👴

A lotta of folks put "AGE IN BIO OR YOU'RE BLOCKED" or "MINORS DO NOT INTERACT" or something like that.

Here's my answer. I'm an elder millennial.

If that's not good enough, here. I'm older than this:

No, I'm not going to put my actual age in my bio. No, I'm not going to put my birth year in my bio. If "Elder Millennial" or the "I'm older than $Movie" isn't good enough, well, sounds like a 'you' problem. Sorry.

"yOu cOuLd bE lYiNg aBoUt aLl oF tHat!" So could someone who put a number in their bio.

🪄✨🌈POLITICS🌈✨🪄

I live in the United States (for my sins) and I'm a frothing, foaming, shrieking, screaming leftist.

Being an elder millennial that lived through: A) 9/11 (I was in high school at the time) B) 3 consecutive, once-in-a-lifetime, economic disasters (2000's oil price bubble, 2007-2010 subprime mortgage crisis, 2020 stock market crash) C) The pandemic (and seeing people lose their fucking shit and prove that zombie movies are ENTIRELY plausible) D) Just... well... everything that's happened with my country's government at various levels ...You could say I've been radicalized.

So, let's get the obvious political talking points out of the way and watch my follower count shrink a bit!

✊🏿Black Lives Matter✊🏿

🏳️‍⚧️Trans rights are human rights🏳️‍⚧️

🏳️‍🌈Stonewall was a riot🏳️‍🌈

Sex work is real work

Forced birth is a form of torture

Cars suck Give us public transport, walkable cities, & high speed rail

N@zis can fuck right the hell off into a god damned volcano Same with t3rfs, biological essentialists, crypto douchebags, "AI" techbro fucksticks, and libertarians who think age of consent means "mental maturity"

Palestine will be free This doesn't make it okay to be an antisemite Supporting Palestine does not mean "Eradicate the Jews" Protesting antisemitism does not mean protesting Palestine The Israeli State does not equal The Israeli People Hamas does not equal The Palestinian People

Trumpists and MAGA are fascists and white supremacists Same with Qanon Same with all the far right schmucks like the oath keepers, the 3 percenters, the proud boys, the KKK, and other similar groups

Capitalism is just feudalism with extra steps When forced to choose between money and a sustainable world, Capitalists will always choose money and let the rest of us burn Eat the fucking rich

I believe in pursuing the maximum amount of freedom for the maximum number of people

This is, of course, not a complete list.

Heh, I'm sure that'll piss of a LOT of people. And I'm totally down with that. If you're offended by any of this, please, cry some more. And feel free to leave nasty comments or mean asks or whatever. Just lets me know who to block! Thank you for outing yourself!

If you wanna show solidarity with any of this, just reblog with a 🐉or a 🐲. Why a dragon? Because dragons are cool. No I'm not biased.

⭐WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT ON THIS BLOG⭐

I'm probably going to include a broad mix of things. Some of it will be suitable for all audiences, but a lot of it VERY MUCH NOT.

Things I will likely reblog:

Funny memes

Important news/posts/political updates

Wholesome stuff

Plenty of generally queer affirming stuff This includes aro/ace folks, ya'll are valid too

Plenty of explicitly trans affirming stuff

Art that I like (cute)

Art that I like (impressive)

Art that I like (adult/kink related)

Adult/kink related posts in general

Furry stuff I would say "LOTS AND LOTS OF FURRY STUFF" but it feels like Tumblr isn't all that prime a spot for furries, but I stan what I can when I find it

🫷You said adult/kink--is this a PORN blog!?!🫸

Not explicitly, because Tumblr is a coward. I'm old enough to remember when this place used to allow straight up porn. Then the great puritanical purge happened. Still, this blog stans sexytimes and those who create stuff in that vein.

Kinks/fetishes you'll see me reblog (if I find it and I like it):

Vore (Soft, safe, endo, almost exclusively consenting) Various forms that can fall under this, like unbirthing

Pregnancy (fpreg, mpreg, nbpreg, tpreg, it's all good)

Transformation

Gender transformation I honestly don't know if this is the right term for this Someone's sex/gender changing through sciencey or magical means

Big strong dudes/ladies/enbies

Twinkish dudes/ladies/enbies

Size difference

CONSENT. I HAVE A HUGE CONSENSUAL KINK. ENTHUSIASTIC CONSENT IS HOT. NOT EVEN REALLY AS A KINK BUT JUST KNOWING & UNDERSTANDING THAT THE INVOLVED PARTIES ARE INTO WHAT'S HAPPENING IS SUPER FUCKING IMPORTANT.

Other weird things that I can't think to include here

All of this is stuff that I've written smutty stories about in the past (and I'm trying to get back into the swing of writing, again, burnout is a bitch). If you wanna know more about that, feel free to ask about it.

Things I am NOT into and will almost assuredly avoid:

Vore (Hard, cruel, fatal)

Pregnancy, specifically birthing

Non-consensual stuff

Piss, scat, vomit, blood

Omegaverse

Macro/Micro aka Giant/Giantess (nothing wrong with this, it's just not my thing)

Underage characters (minimum age: 18)

"Aged Up" characters that are clearly just an excuse to get around the underage problem (if you slap a pair of tits on a cartoon of an 8 year old girl... you're sexualizing a cartoon child. Fuck you.)

This is, of course, not a complete list.

DNI ACCOUNTS

Minors

Porn bots

Fascists, racists, t3rfs, zionists, ✨CHRISTIANS™✨ (yes there is a difference between christians and ✨CHRISTIANS™✨, and I think you know what I'm talking about)

Crypto assholes

"AI Art" and ChatGPT assholes

This is, of course, not a complete list.

I think that's plenty to put in a pinned post... probably too much, very TL;DR I'm sure. But whatever. If someone complains to me about something that they could have learned by just reading it here, well... it's their own damn fault.

Anyway, be kind and stay weird.
