do you ever get people misreading your name as “thelostmazegooner.” because I did

yknow in all my years of being on the internet this is, indeed, a new one

Do you think we will see his sweet face again after vol 3?😭

It's always a possibility! I was hoping Marvel would go through with that Nova show because it seemed like our best chance of getting a Guardians cameo but I think it got either delayed or cancelled, I don't really remember. There's so much going on in the MCU right now and so many characters I'm not entirely sure all the writers know what they're doing with all of them.

I'm really conflicted on Rocket appearing again because on the one hand I crave new MCU Rocket content like my lungs crave air. I'd lose my mind if we got new clips to screenshot, and make gifs of, and obsess over and to see how he goes forward as the new Captain of the Guardians. But on the other hand, recently a lot of Marvel's writing has been hit or miss for me and I had to see characters I used to like (Thor and Wanda for example) get done dirty, and I worry with James Gunn gone that Rocket won't get the character writing he deserves.

I'm not under the impression that James Gunn is the only one who could write for Rocket, I've read plenty of fanfictions that prove otherwise, but it seems like a long shot that an actually passionate and dedicated writer will be who's attached to whatever project Rocket appears in. I know there are other fans who weren't entirely happy with Rocket's portrayal in Infinity War and Endgame. I personally thought he was fine there and was actually better off than some other characters, (Rocket is actually the best part of IW/EG and no you can't change my mind) but even so he was still written better in the Guardians trilogy.

I want to think positively but a part of me can't help but worry he'll be character assassinated or literally assassinated in someone else's movie and that would majorly suck. Even though I want to see him again I'd rather his story end on a good note and we imagine what happens next than for him to be ruined on screen.

But who knows, he could appear again and be written just fine and I'm being a pessimist for no reason! 😅 I just love and care about him so much and I want to see him done right especially after the amazing story that the GotG trilogy told.

Katherine: Well, um- uh! Joey: Oh my god, you're blushing! She's blushing! Shrub: I don't think she- Katherine: It was really scary, honestly.. I didn't want anything bad to happen to her. [radio silence for 30 seconds, and then an explosion of squeals and 'THATS SO CUTE'] [click]

@askthehoenngods Kyurem @ Shae:

He had seen it all. Cheaters, liars and manipulators in his long life. It was always the same thing: a quest for power, a quest for wealth, even a quest for personal glorification at the expense of another. He had seen it far too often.

Seeing this Shaymin blathering about being top shit when he was hardly that was rather disgusting. He had familiarised himself on the 'rules' of this Universe and knew that the ornament around the man's head meant he was married to an Arceus.

Kyurem could practically smell the infidelity on him, and while he knew that was something some species cared about, and others didn't, he could tell Galadriel, of whom he had not interacted with but had been watching with some curiosity, obviously took it seriously.

"Spoilt brat," he remarked, putting his hands in his pockets, "you sit on a throne of lies built on the backs of superior beings to you, desperate to climb the ranks because you're so sure you deserve it. And yet…" he eyed the ring, and smirked, "not entirely, have you? You 'won' an Arceus, yes, but not fully. I can see by the half formed pathetic attempt at an 'arc ring' around your head. Your wife clearly has more brains than you not to trust you."

He had no doubt others would be telling said wife the truth about said husband. It would be interesting to see what she was like. Maybe she was the same, or maybe she was the decent sort. He didn't know, and didn't care.

"Either way, you're in a hall with several beings who are quite protective of Galadriel, and you have the spine to show up and act like all that? Don't make me laugh," the rings in his eyes burned white, "you're here because you're hiding behind your bravado because you know that you'll never compare to a TRUE God, because you'll never be one, never reach that height on your own merit and power, and only on the backs of another can you even pretend to have any sort of importance."

"You're absolutely pathetic," the air grew cold. Much colder than it should, around them both, but not much father out. Colder and colder it grew, and Kyurem had a deadly smirk on his face.

"I wonder how a grass and flying type… fares to a master of ICE."

Shae: "Also Protective of Galadriel? Last I checked, she was an adult who could defend herself and didn't need a flock of knights to defend her. Her job is literally to destroy any threat to their universe, so in all honesty, it's her job to defend you all. If you think a huge mess should be made over exes trash-talking, then you are thin-skinned ain't you?" Shae: "Also master of Ice, even though my ring isn't a circle yet, I can still use my Wife's life plates to change my type. I'm happy to turn up the heat if you like~!"

Guess who’s object-sitting for his bf!!

Look at this little dude!! He’s so . perfect!!

AWW!! he's very polite looking :)

[shrub-a-dub]

sorry you call them jandles over there? I know here we call them thongs and that's bad but you call them jandles and that's worse. (sending this ask in a playful manner ofc)

wait you call them thongs?! Like the slutty underwear🤨. A jandal sounds like a talking beaver who'll give me a sidequest, thongs are damn bad >:] /lh

Fuse with me (minty and shrub)

SEND “FUSE WITH ME!” AND I’LL TELL YOU | Accepting

What type of gem we’d make:  Minty (Mint Green Diamond) + Shrub (Rose Quartz) = Watermelon Tourmaline

Personality: Watermelon Tourmaline is a bundle of questions. Easily persuaded as Minty doesn't have the same leadership status as the Diamonds once had due to being created in Era 3, and Shrub was never in a leadership role only ever taking orders. Their emotions are frazzled a good majority of the time, and it's hard to calm them down when they are in a panic. Watermelon Tourmaline is much like Steven Squared, in that she will use singular and plural pronouns regularly at first because her components are still getting used to being a fusion.

Stability of Fusion: Relationship wise, Minty and Shrub have a pretty positive relationship. Minty enjoys Shrub's company and Shrub is grateful to be free from being imprisoned longer than the other Rose Quartzes. However, fusions aren't just based of relationships themselves it's also a mixture of the individuals feelings and thoughts that sometimes they share or keep to themselves... and due to that.

Minty's expectations as a Diamond in Era 3, and Shrub's era 1 mentality of being made to serve or face the consequences and the fact she is still adjusting to Era 3's way of life after being bubbled for thousands and thousands of years play into Watermelon Tourmaline's stability as a fusion despite how well Minty and Shrub get along together.

The first time that Shrub and Minty had fused was a rollercoaster of emotions... scary, wonderful and overwhelming emotions. Resulting in a cotton candy fusion, much like how Ruby rushed in to Sapphire shaking her entire world view of how fate was meant to play out.

Shrub had expected fully to be punished for fusing with another gem, and thought it would be much more severe, due to Minty being a Diamond of all the gems to fuse with, while Minty was doing her best to reassure her that she wouldn't get in trouble for fusing, regardless of if their fusing was an accident or not.

Watermelon Tourmaline has two sets of arms due to their different approach to things. Shrub is still opening up to new things in Era 3 and Minty is just going with the flow since that's all she's ever known.

Height of the fusion (in comparison to other characters):

How do I mentally deal with the fact that Rocket is fictional😭

I love him so much

Awww I feel you, Anon! 😔

I just immerse myself in all the Rocket related media I can find: the GotG trilogy, the animated series, video games, and I plan to tackle the comics sometime soon. And of course there's all the amazing fanart and fanfiction! As an artist I feel closer to Rocket when I draw him, and I feel like each art piece is a tribute of my love for him, plus it's fun to create mini-comics and write headcanons about different scenarios with him. I also have pictures of Rocket as the wallpaper on all my tech devices, which is a quick and simple way to always see him in your daily life!

Getting a Rocket plushie to hug and hold is great too!

While unfortunately Rocket isn't real, the comfort and joy he brings you very much is, and that's still really special ❤️

[ask-the-esmp-emperors]

OHHHH SHRUBBBBBBB~!

I saw you staring at Katherine when they came to save youuu you silly lil gay gnome.

Shrub: Sh-shut up! I don't know what you're talking about! I wasn't blushing! Joey: Oh, you definitely were! You are ALWAYS blushing around Katherine! [giggles, presumably from Joey.] Katherine: Joey! Don't tease her! I'm sure she means it like, platonically! Jimmy: How oblivious can someone be? Scott: How long did it take you to realize I love you, again? Dummy. Jimmy: SHUT UP!

[ghostsessioned]

How does she react to that (I'm guessing either like: mmm I can overlook it, or is it just how dare you)

anna's is "i can overlook it" while elijah's is a wholehearted "how dare you"

[harleyshahas]

WHAT DOES BISHIE MEAN--???

LMAO I'M SORRY, I DIDNT KNOW YOU DIDNT KNOW!!!

It's short for bishounen (bishonen?), which is like a really pretty/handsome anime man

[skaxerfbush]

back when me and my friends got into +R forever ago, aba was one of the characters I was immediately drawn to. I didn't main her immediately cuz she was hard to play but over time I learned to play her and she was super fun. Something about an all-or-nothing character felt great

iirc the order of my mains was uhhh.. may aba axl and then finally baiken

anyway super happy she's back and won't hurt my hands this time trying to play her
