[userlaylivia]

@stonerbughead, @maya-matlin

you were made to be kissed, often and well.

[lizardkingeliot]

Know only this, mon cher, you are the only being I trust, and whom I love, above and beyond myself.

Marie Lee-Shifukukan

Marie Lee-Shifukukan, born Eun-mi Lee, is a Korean-Canadian engineer at Toronto Support Labs. She's the one who made a majority of the support equipment for all the Canadian Heroes.

She is married to Cloud Nine (Karly Shifukukan) and has a son named Skylar.

Description

Marie is a short, fat woman with a round face, tanned skin, and dark brown eyes. Her hair is dyed teal and is her natural black at the roots. On her left (or right) eyebrow is a silver piercing. She can commonly be seen with a large pair of black goggles with dark green lenses resting atop her head.

Marie tends to dress in a very stereotypically masculine manner with tank tops/wife beaters, flannels, etc. There are times where she's been mistaken for a man.

Personality

Brash, tough, and loud, Marie is a natural born wild child. With the mouth of a sailor and a big attitude, she makes herself stand out and isn't afraid to speak her mind. Firing back at negative comments, standing her ground during arguments, even not being afraid to fight, she's the poster child for a headstrong rebel. Marie is also not afraid to tease or joke on others, as she does with Soregum (@floof-ghostie).

As an engineer, Marie is one of the best in both her city and Canada. She puts a lot of passion and grit into making support items for the heroes of her home, including her wife. With her works being high demand and highly praised, so much so that there have been talks of promoting her to the head of the support labs.

Despite being a busy bee, she always makes time for her wife Cloud Nine and son Skylar. Marie sometimes brings Skylar to work with her and has a little playpen she built for him to play in.

History

Marie was born in Busan, South Korea. Her parents owned a small convenience store before selling it in preparation to move to Canada. When she was 2 years old, Marie moved to Canada and adopted her name.

Growing up, Marie had a complicated relationship with her femininity. She never really fit in with other girls because gravitated towards more traditionally masculine things and dressed like a boy. Part of her felt like a boy but didn't want to be one. This made her feel disconnected from most girls her age.

Things got worse for her when her father became permanently disabled after getting into a car accident, leaving Marie's mother to be the breadwinner.

Marie discovered she was a lesbian in high school. She had trouble coming to terms with her newfound sexuality as well as telling her parents. To cope with her struggles, Marie would build things with used car parts from the local junkyard. She used engineering as an outlet to her problems both at home and at school.

What started as a way to cope then became something that Marie was genuinely passionate about. It also helped her come to terms with both her gender and her sexuality. After graduating high school, Marie applied for college to major in engineering.

While there, she met her future wife Karly and they started dating before eventually getting married and having their son Skylar.

Relationships

Karly Shifukukan | Cloud Nine

Marie is a Human, therefore she doesn't have powers like Karly and Skylar.

Marie and Karly are very much in love and always have been. They contrast each other in all the right ways.

Abilities

Master Engineer: Marie is one of the best engineers in the world of the Giftedverse. She's built a myriad of devices from any type of material, mostly from car parts.

Mechanical Intellect: Marie is very intelligent when it comes to machines and their elements. She can tell what something is made of and how it works just by examining it.

Strength: While she doesn't have super strength, Marie is considerably strong due to all the work she does in the lab. From lifting heavy objects to screwing in bolts, Marie has some incredible arm, upper body, and leg strength.

Haven't seen this one yet. They're gonna kiss, right? 🫣

Mostly a study of this super cool photo.

Put my own little spin on it and made it gay TM. The usual. :D

The B-plots of "The Galileo Seven" and "The Mark of Gideon" aren't identical, but I do think it's pretty funny that the former hinges on Kirk fighting with some asshole higher-up who won't let him save Spock et al., and the Spock-figuring-out-what's-happening B-plot of "The Mark of Gideon" involves him fighting with various assholes including Starfleet higher-ups who are trying to keep him from saving Kirk.

But for Kirk, "fighting" = well technically according to regulation 347843874 paragraph 24 line 1731 I temporarily retain the authority to exercise my own judgment as commanding officer. So I'm just going to use my extensive knowledge of regulations to ... keep repairs and scans going until time runs out. In the meanwhile, you're free to get the fuck off my bridge

(When time runs out, he does reluctantly obey his directives, for a certain value of "obey"—by commanding the crew to comply as slowly as possible.)

Meanwhile, Spock's reaction to tangling with obnoxious but not unreasonable higher-ups pretty much comes down to "Sir, for posterity, I'd like to register my considered opinion of this decision as fuck you, you fucking idiots" before fighting further obstacles. And by "fighting" I mean:

Thinking about this:

So what I love about this is how completely accurate it is to describe your kink orientation as a "need". Because it's not just something I would like out of a relationship. It's not a want. It's a need. I'm actively unhappy in vanilla relationships(or that one time I spent a year trying to be in a relationship with another sub *shudder*). I need to be able to submit to my partner. And honestly I just need to be able to submit in general. Not having that feels like I'm suffocating. So Louis saying that he and Armand had figured out what they NEEDED from each other, not wanted, but needed, is perfectly accurate.

Also look at the love in their eyes!!!! You'll NEVER convince me that they weren't in love in Dubai.

watched both these episodes today bc i miss my babies, and these two scenes have always given me the same vibes.

[valerieofavonlea]

There is no doubt that Bones kind of fumbled actually getting Booth and Brennan together, but y'know, six seasons and over 100 episodes of them being together and in love, buying a house, having a baby, getting married, having another baby, and being all cute and domestic goes a long way in making up for it

The desire to draw these two again but without the motivation to make something more than one of these little charts (oops)

Thank you Valc0 for making the sheet!

no one:

absolutely no one:

Guess who it is?

If you had to pick one character from Naruto to completly rewrite and/or redesign: who would it be? Can be a major/minor character.

By this I mean: change their lore, their design, their character relations, their outcome in Boruto, their village affliation, their death, siblings, etc.

Ok this question has been plaguing me for days cause I just couldn't decide,,,

But over all probably Kaguya. There's so much potential for a great backstory there *cough* toxic yuri *cough* but it was wasted bc Kishimoto randomly decided he wanted to write about aliens but couldn't be bothered to make a new story. Like whaaat bsfr rn

Shes pretty but :/ I could make her prettier. Kishi shoulda called me up fr

Honourable mentions that I kept thinking of but I'm OK enough with them that I wouldn't rewrite their whole story:

Konohamaru: I feel like he does virtually nothing for the story, also he's ugly asf. So I would change like,,, most of him.

Naruto: his hair makes me so fucking angry the MAIN CHARACTER should not be so difficult to draw I'm gonna beat someone up

Sakura: I just really want to give her that axe. Also what if we swapped that superstrength for genjutsu. What then. Genjutsu is SO underutilised it makes me insane. It could do so much in the medical field too. Also I just like drawing uneven hair so that's like. All I would change design wise. She's actually got a very solid design. W for Kishi and his team.

Mikoto: I just want her to have a more main role in Sasukes story :( I hc that Sasuke was a direct descendent of Madara so that could have been a really interesting thing for Mikoto. Like what if she could beat up Fugaku. What then. Also she's so pretty for no reason. Like Kishimoto really just made the prettiest gal ever and made her irrelevant. Also I'd give her a better outfit, I'd spoil her with the most gorgeous gowns in the Land of fire.

Neji: what if he and Sasuke held hands. What if they had an arc together where they bonded over their destiny's. Bonded over having the need to prove one's existence. What if they kissed. Kishimoto would never because he's too scared of the potential of them.

Zetsu: i have genuinely no problem with him being a physical being of Kaguyas will. But like. Theres no way out of every person ever no one's had as much will as she. Like. Bsffr rn there should be like. At least a few more come on man :(

Indra: Istg I will bite you Indra not being made head of the clan was such bullshit. And also!!! One person to lead an entire clan is a little!!! Flawed!!! Asura and Indra should have ruled together like 😒

random guy who threw the mask at Naruto: Kill him. Castrate him. Burn him on the stake.

*casts unhinged moodboard be upon you* BEHOLD! Unhinged Jiraak Moodboard <3 I took some pins from their respective pinterest boards as well as some of my own ideas. Including the "I'm telling Akatosh" one which I made <3 Also I chose the cats because as you say they are very wet cat coded so I found cats that look like them (orange for Jia and White for Miraak) but made them cute instead :) I hope you enjoy friend!

UNHINGED JIRAAK MOODBOARD Y'ALL, UNHINGED JIRAAK MOODBOARD, I'M SO SCREAMING RIGHT NOW—

OKAY YOU HAD ME ROLLING ON THE FLOOR WITH THIS BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE PINS IS JUST SO THEM™. I'M SOBBING.

"Tell your tits to stop staring at my eyes" and the vicious cycle of "Depressed -> Numb -> Horny" is especially Signed and TedTalk-ed by Miraak. Jia has a big heart and a bigger chest to fit it. SORRY.

"I'M TELLING AKATOSH" IS BOTH JIA AND MIRAAK WHEN HERMAEUS MORA. SCREAMS VIOLENTLY.

And the cats............ OUGH they even shape a lil heart with their tails...🥺 this is so jiraak, they're so cute and kittens... so miserable and pathetic...🤲

[anghraine]

It's honestly kind of funny to me that catapulting into Kirk/Spock shipping has launched my usual "meh, not into jealousy as a metric of romantic love" shipping tendency out the window and instead I'm genuinely charmed by the extent to which they reflect the same unhealthy seething jealousy.

This is most obvious with Spock, but you'll get McCoy joking about Spock falling in love with a computer (not an android, a stationary computer) and McCoy being A Normal Guy Joking About His Friend Having a Hobby is immediately contrasted with Kirk's barely repressed jealousy (you can all but see him thinking "time to talk another computer to death" while McCoy just laughs at his own joke about it). Kirk gets more and more generally insecure until Spock publicly declares that, while he does like an efficient computer, Kirk is irreplaceable and he doesn't want to serve anyone or anything else, and Kirk looks like he's about to kiss him on the bridge.

(Kirk still talks the computer to death, btw, for plot reasons. But big "Edith Keeler must die" energy.)

I also enjoy Kirk's horror/outrage at Leila Kalomi and her obvious gloating over "taking" Spock from him in the docility sex pollen episode and Kirk's willingness to do or say anything to get Spock back vs Spock bleeding intensity throughout "Requiem for Methuselah" as Kirk falls in love with Rayna, then Spock numbly listening to McCoy's speech about how he can never understand the glories or agonies of romantic love triangles or passionate love before waiting for him to leave and then wiping Rayna from Kirk's mind. Just two bros who are totally normal about each other!
