#really I was more about comics and cartoons

Could you please do "Jealousy isn't a good look on you" and "You're right it looks much better on you" for our silly little teenage wizards?

from this prompt list

She hears his heavy, unbalanced footsteps before she hears his voice. “There you are.” He comes to a stumbling stop on the step below her, the toes of his trainers coming into her view.

“Here I am,” she says, then forces herself to look up at him.

“Why’d you leave?” James asks, sounding even more earnest than usual, thanks to the copious amounts of alcohol she knows he’s had tonight.

“Just wanted some fresh air,” she says, offering a shrug.

He crouches down and sits on the step next to her, his arm brushing against hers. She shifts away slightly, trying to be discreet. “Not very…fresh,” he says, glancing around the small stairwell she’s chosen as her refuge.

How did he even find her here at all?

“I don’t mean to be rude,” she says slowly, “but I’d really rather be alone right now.”

He frowns, turning to face her. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. I just…” She shakes her head. “You’re really pissed, Potter.”

He shrugs, like this is a complete non-issue. “I can still tell you’re upset.”

“I’m fine. I just don’t feel like talking right now, okay?”

His eyebrows knit together. “Did I…do something?”

It’s a frustrating question, made more frustrating by the fact that he seems genuinely concerned about her. She’s not angry at him, per se; she’s aware that she doesn’t have the courage to turn the tables and find clarity. It takes a bravery Lily hasn’t felt entitled to lately. And every time she considers being honest with him, something like tonight happens.

Sometimes, it feels like James Potter is the exact right person, at exactly the wrong time. 

“Why are you out here?” she asks, sidestepping his question.

His frown deepens. “Because you…Sirius said you—”

“Let me ask a different way,” Lily cuts in sharply. “Why are you out here with me, instead of back at your victory party, snogging Hestia Jones?”

His eyebrows shoot up, and he recoils almost comically, like one of the cartoons she used to watch with Petunia on Saturday mornings. “What?”

Lily turns away, folding her arms around her knees, hands disappearing into the sleeves of her jumper. “Never mind.”

“No, you—” He makes a sound of irritation, somewhere deep in his throat. “Don’t do that, Evans.”

“Forget I said anything.”

“I can’t just—Lily, look at me.”

She stubbornly keeps her gaze fixed on the wall of the stairwell. She knows she’s being childish, but she doesn’t care because he just—does things to her. Makes her hate herself a bit and the person she becomes in moments like this.

“Evans.”

“Go away, Potter,” she snaps. “I don’t have anything to say to you.”

There’s a moment of heavy silence before he speaks, voice low, “Jealousy doesn’t look good on you.”

“You’re right,” she hisses, her head whipping back around to meet his gaze, “it does suit you much more than me.”

His mouth drops open. “What? I—”

“Oh, please, Potter. I know you talked to Benjy. I know you’re the reason—”

“What? That he dumped you? You don’t think maybe it’s just because you’re sort of a bitch?”

The accusation hangs between them, heavy and spilling over like an inkwell knocked across a parchment. Too late to cap and make upright, too late to save the contents of the parchment.

“I’m sorry,” he says miserably, his head dropping into his hands. “I didn't mean—”

“Go back to your party, James."

“Lily, I—”

She stands up, abruptly. “Fine. I’ll go, then.”

James moves to stand, awkward and unsteady. “Hang on. Evans, just—”

She pauses in her retreat, but doesn’t turn to give him the satisfaction of seeing exactly how much he’s hurt her. “Don’t follow me,” she bites off, then disappears.

Unpopular opinions:

I don't know about you, but I'm sick of the stupid jokes about the Quack Pack being locked away in a vault of oblivion, like they're some black sheep of Disney or something. That's just stupid to me, and Quack Pack deserves better, and even if that series had some mistakes, it's definitely an ok series. Let me just say that the Ducktales reboot wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for the OG Ducktales or Darkwing Duck or the Quack Pack (especially if you look at Donald's nephews). And yes, it is an unpopular opinion, but I prefer the Quack Pack version of Donald's nephews to the Ducktales reboot version. And I don't mean the Ducktales episode "Quack Pack" which I still dislike to this day, but the original Quack Pack series. Sorry!

I would also point out the displeasure with Disney's decisions that ignores the canon from the Disney comics as well as the fact that it is still not in the US itself to this day, featured series The Legend of The Three Caballeros. Okay, there are mistakes in there, but the series itself is ok (for me its great) and it's really stupid that they didn't show it so it wouldn't be like a competitor to Ducktales in 2017. That's it for now.

And these are just my opinions, if you mind, your problem. Sorry!

Omg, do you love transformers too? What TV shows have you watched or read comics? Which is your favorite generation?

As a teenager I discovered pirated sites (I often miss the older internet haha) that uploaded comics, as well as comics that were uploaded as videos on YouTube. I'd go to the library and read and watch other people read comics. It's how I got in the OG TMNT comics and got to learn more about Transformers. I didn't have the money to get into it until I was older (I have a thing for 80s cartoons, I have all of He-Man on DVD ❤️) so the comics were ingested out of order, as were the movies. I'm not up to date on all the cartoons, just the older ones, and a few episodes of a CG animated series.

So, the first gen, comics throughout the years, and a lot of video essays (I also enjoy having a range of useless trivia).

I love the OG cartoon, it's ridiculous and wonderful, but the comics I've read are a close second, because I really enjoy how the writers explore them as a species and a society, "fleshing out" (haha) the characters and turning them into something more than "hero robots" and "villain robots".

So Reylos are now freaking out over episode 4 of Ahsoka cause Anakin showed up in what appears to be the wbw. I have not watched Ahsoka and don't plan to. I personally think that nothing will come out of this in regards to Ben Solos return. People think Leia sacrificed herself to send Ben there? If she sacrificed herself to save him then he wouldn't have gone anywhere he would have been alive.

Anyone who thinks there was planning or thought behind anything in tros is delusional.

Thinking they're setting up Ben's resurrection is almost as removed from reality.

Rewatched Moon Girl season 1. This show is so good. Now, I recommend just watching the show linearly BUT if you want specific episode recs I got you covered.

My personal favorites are Like Mother, Like Moon Girl, Roller Jam!, Skip Ad...olescence, and both of the season finales (keep in mind season 1s is a 2-parter). All of these are just really cool, beautiful, and have my personal favorite third-act song numbers.

Some others I'd recommend are Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow, Suit Up!, In the Heist, and The Great Beyond-er! all for pretty much the same reasons.

And if you haven't watched the show, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU GO DO THAT NOWWWW!!!

Hm ok what's your favorite or a really cool worlbuilding thing you've done? For any fandom or original or even an unimplemented idea

Hmm well at least in the past decade, my big worldbuilding projects have mostly come down to three-ish stories: Other Side of the Gun, Adventures of Gæilo and Ethon, and Just Desserts

OSG was an Invader ZiM fancomic concept I started around 2013 to justify every single Irken headcanon I ever came up with lol - I never finished it, or even really started it, but I put a lot of time and energy into its roughs back in the day :)

^A stick figure recap of Ch. 1, inspired by - what else - the Vargas stick figure recaps lol

One that you can see over here is all the work I did for my DnD campaign, AGE! (Though its sideblog hasn't been updated in a while haha - the AGE tag over here works just as well) I basically homebrewed a pantheon and had an absolute blast designing all the gods and their forms before they became gods and even things like architectural differences in their churches and the BBEG and his motivations and just ah <3 Such a fun project :D

It also laid the groundwork for things like Pokemon Homestyle, specifically all my papercrafts! You can really see how I leveled up haha

And my latest has been Just Desserts! Even with less time under its belt, it's still pretty expansive, as evidenced by my icon and theme and the backlog lol, and it's the one I have the most AUs of! (Though OSG does come close actually haha) There are still some thorny details I'm trying to iron out, especially to do with the magic system, but all the characters and creatures and the fact that I made my own fighting minigame, ah, pleased! I've never been so happy with a sona before Charm! ♥ From the very beginning it's been so fun to work on and I still want to improve!

i wish i could telepathically transmit the knowledge of how the alien costume arc actually played out in the comics into the brain of everyone on earth so that i never again have to hear anyone say that the symbiote made peter evil

Ahhh. I’m hearing old industry friend talking about how the reason there’s no projected X-Men MCU projects before 2025, even though they’ve started going ahead with using the term mutant in universe, is NOT because they can’t use the characters yet per the old Fox contracts OR because they’d have to reuse the same actors per the actors still being attached thanks to the old Fox projects....

Rather, its because the PRODUCERS of the Fox X-Men films are still attached until 2025, and any MCU projects that use material already established in the Fox movies would mean Kinberg, Singer, etc, would be guaranteed a seat at the producer table and that specifically is what MCU producers are trying to avoid.

Interesting.

i love how following the media, who is close friends to who change

For exemple, with Smurfette, in the comics she's bestie with Vanity. In the first cartoon, she's good friend with Great Smurf, and in the new cartoon, she seems to be good friend with Glasses Smurf (that last one is quite funny, knowing that in the first cartoon it kinda feels like she despises him). The new cartoon seems to push a 'besties Prankster and Vanity' that other medias don't, in the same way the 80s cartoon had 'Glasses and Clumsy(mixed with Dumb) have some kind of friendship' that the other medias don't really have.

Another thing that's very cool is the change in how characters act

Prankster Smurf in the new cartoon is basically a kid, in the first cartoon he seems to only care about pranks and jokes to the point of showing a lack of empathy, and the one in the comics, while still loving pranks, feels more mature in a way. And let's not forget Smurfette who, as 'the girl', will be very different in her character following when the media is from.
