Stargazing, at the edge of the unknown.
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#wen qing#wen ning#animation#This was another fun experiment that I learned a lot from B*)#I think that stargazing was something WWX probably took for granted in his first life.#Namely that - despite seeming like the carefree type - he probably didn't have the patience for it.#Why look at the sky when there are so many other things to do at night? It's not like the stars are going anywhere after all.#And when he's in yiling...well he has far to much to do inside his cave or on night hunts to look up at the boring dots.#He's a moon guy - but only so far as 'is the moon phase bright enough to read under tonight? is is dark enough to sneak around?'#It's probably only after the end of untangling the web of secrets and murders in his second life -#-that he realizes the beauty in just...taking a moment and taking in the sky with someone by your side.#Luckily for him the high altitude and cold air of a certain cloud recess makes for excellent start gazing conditions.#Wen Qing would be in the know on what the constellations are. Almost entirely because Wen Ning kept asking her.#As an older sibling you can A) Lie or B) Delve deep into research to claim your throne of 'the knower'.#I have knowledge about many things because I craved being 'the knower' as a youth.

I have moved one of these to season 1...
So now I need to put something in its place to keep my timeline smooth
This is gonna be tricky...
Because I'm juggling, like, four different fics, my Tik Tok, and my actual, literal job—
Here are some season 2 episode titles that I made to beef the season up that I enjoy immensely 🥰
1. The Hamato Clan
2. Little Shelly
3. The Art of Fatherhood
4. Joint Custody
5. Tiny Thoughts, Big Feelings
6. The Return of Roxo
7. The Nexus Champ
8. Hidden Rumors Podcast
9. Stinkbomb
10. Bounty Hunter
11. Lost and Found
12. Toddler Mutant Ninja Turtles
13. Loathsome Bea
14. Big Mama's Assistant
15. Hidden City Heroes
16. Reheated Soup
17. Project Purple
18. Advice
19. The Criminal and The Queen
20. Shelldon goes to the Doctor
21. Strange Magic
22. In-betweening
A few might have been confirmed episode titles, and I might have missed some thinking they were confirmed episode titles.
But I'm really excited for a lot of these
#literally the next three chapters hinge on this decision#i was gonna end Purple Game one way#but decided to do something else#but because it's related#I decided to move the s2 chapter to sit between Putple Game and Mutant Menace#it just fit better imo#but now i need an idea for the spot it was in in s2#something related to the mystic city#and Venus and Jennika#bc yeah#even though i love Frida desrly with my whole heart#im still keeping Venus and Jennika in#rip to the canon#but I'm changing quite a bit#I'm also debating on something different for Draxum#something he would excel at#something that makes him more relevant and accessible#rottmnt

#I know it’s a bit hypocritical of me to post this after my previous post#but it’s a reminder once again what a loss it truly is that Daniel will probably never have anything to do with f1 again#he has so much of knowledge and wisdom to give to young drivers#he would have truly excelled in a mentoring role because he has the right balance of grit and perceptiveness and kindness#that would have been truly beneficial to so many young drivers in the shark infested waters of the feeder series#what a shame truly#and I know Daniel himself probably hasn’t really imagined himself in that role#but he loves being given responsibility#he loves having something to work towards#look all he did at vcarb and all the responsibilities he undertook and how he thrived on that!

if my rewatch has reminded me of anything it’s that I would pay actual genuine money for the s9 opener to be about literally anyone besides athena grant
#this also includes Bobby by extension sorry agshakd#listen I know she’s Angela Bassett I know#and I’m not even saying all of them have been bad!!!!#s8 opener is Excellent#like the best in ages#s7 and s5 openers have some great moments#but it’s been the same shtick now for season 4 season 5 season 7 AND season 8#s6 didn’t have an opening disaster but the first Big Ep was still about athena#and again it was an excellent ep#but for the love of god can we please have something different#i also think chimney should take a break but that’s just bc he’s suffered enough these last few seasons adhsjdl#either make it about everyone a la s2 earthquake or focus on someone else!!!#my preference would be hen buck or eddie but I’ll take anyone at this point#911 rewatch

it is so important to me that you know that not only does batman generally dislike guns, he is terrified of them. like 9 times out of 10 his first thought when someone pulls out a gun is “oh shit that guy has a fucking gun”, his second thought is how disarm the person, and his third thought is the memory of the day his parents were shot in an alley. i don’t think he should resort to using guns for most reasons tbh
#even dick pointed out Bruce’s fear of guns! like idk…it’s not just an ick it’s something that genuinely makes bruce’s mind go blank.#but honestly idk how to really feel on the common “batman trained extensively with all types of guns while training” stories?#i do agree he probably HAS used and trained with guns with much disgust/anxiety (as seen in many stories such as btk)-#but i don’t think he would go as far as to put a whole secret gun cavern in his cave that he regularly trains with.#the whole reason WHY bruce trained to be batman was to excel in combat without using guns! To learn how to be BETTER than that!#so i really don’t think bruce knows or even WANTS to know more than what is absolutely necessary. he is prepared for anything after all <3#batman#bruce wayne#dc comics

Machete and Vasco love child?

(Source)
#yeah actually#that's strikingly close how I'd imagine it as well#if you blended their designs together you might get something like this#the thing is Machete has albinism#if he had actual offspring and they didn't inherit the condition his children would have normal pigmentation#and the colors of his parents and brothers are mostly shades of black dark brown rust and fallow#with a little bit of lighter markings here and there#so the palette you'd be working with would be significantly darker instead of all white#answered#anonymous#absolutely gorgeous dog by the way#excellent ears#and that mask!

Knowing from the Bocular Man's first appearance that he has limited, recorded phrase library, I am sitting here WAITING for the day he says something off-script. Whether it's spliced together from other recorded responses or generated completely fresh, still using Merlin's own voice or constructing his own, I HUNGER for the moment the Bocular Man says something and everyone is like "hm okay cool" and Merlin is (quietly or unquietly) going absolutely bananas because wait, I didn't give him that one.
#tbh even using rote responses but as answers to different questions could be the first sign of evolution#like Merlin asks a question and the answer given is technically in the library but for something else and is being cross-purposed#he could also start nabbing other people's voices in a Kiri situation#i wonder if we will get a Levi transformation somewhere in here or if he will stay fully bocular#either would be excellent#unend#midst cosmos#unend spoilers#(though not for any particular episode except the first)#the bocular man#midst#midst podcast#ariadne unends#op

Julius Grief as a character is so fascinating for me. Like, so much unexplored potential there. Did he know that day that Jack wasn't being killed so it was just a joke to him????
His accent??? Afrikaans-german-ish with french lilt? The fact that he thought that he could gel in with the big bad by drinking.....beer? And it works—
That time in prison where he tried peeling his face off? The heavily implied sexual assault by that one creepy guy in nightshade?
The shoddy welding job on purpose? Beginnings of the escape plan?
Being trained to be a literal genius?
The possibilities were endless
RIP Julius you'd have loved gua Sha and changing your face to have a different jaw than Alex.
#julius grief#alex rider#him mogging alex is so funny to me#also that one time Alex didn't want to save Sabina's father from the flooded car#they are both victims of being put in moral box#i wonder how his rehabilitation would have gone#he was a genius something or other in canon.#alternatively William in nightshade makes also for an excellent character#so did Nile in a way

Day 5 – messages
AU where for some reason they both get stuck in the barn anyone?? I think it would help to highlight some interesting parallels
Happy PL Yuri Week and Flora Friday!
#ive been hcing Flora as aroace more recently but.#I think you can make some great yuri with her too#and the katia flora parallels were too much to resist#I don’t have anything particularly thorough thought out as to how katia gets stuck with Flora#but I imagine it would be something like DP decides to go after katia instead of Flora because he realises she knows more as well and–#and Layton would probably just stop to help her anyway#so the villagers say goodbye to katia on the train then she gets cornered by DP asking her questions–#flora sees and attempt to intervene but fails at which point he just sticks them both in the barn and takes Flora’s place still–#as to not raise suspicion as to where she is to Layton#professor layton#flora reinhold#flora friday#plyuriweek24#katia anderson#katora#art#fanart#whiskers draws#also katia’s whole story works EXCELLENTLY for both of today’s prompts imo

I love this little comment you can get from Emmrich post becoming a lich, because I assume he's talking about knowing what a heart looks like and how big it is due to. Y'know. Seeing his own or something similar during the rites.
But in Amaris's canon, one of the things I decided on that he was like specifically talented in/had a knack for is anatomical diagramming, both skeletal and muscular (which is part of why he has the full body skeletal scarification - he drew the design himself.) So he'd hear Emmrich say this and immediately be like "Let me see that I need to critique it for myself" and they both proceed to hash out the details and corrections together like the huge freaks they are <3
#dragon age the veilguard#emmrich volkarin#rook ingellvar#amaris ingellvar#i think a lot about the art culture of the mourn watch and nevarra so i feel like being particularly good at anatomical diagramming -#- is something that amaris would be encouraged to foster during his schooling. and he actually Enjoys doing it too#i would assume most watchers need to have a basic knowledge of how to note those things but he's like Insanely detailed about it#and just has honed his skills so its kinda stylized to be his own thing while still being scholarly and readable#i know the game assumes that rook wasnt very high in the watcher order but i think giving amaris something he still excels at even if hes -#- not a superior or higher up adds to things#kief.txt

Trigun twinswap AUs are just the most absolutely goddamn terrifying thing to me
Like. Vash is ridiculously powerful. Absolutely op. Knives CANNOT overpower him. The only thing that keeps them on even playing grounds is that Knives knows so much more about their plant powers and Vash deeply fears them (and seems to even resent them at times in certain canons). But if Vash weren't holding back? If he let that absolutely world-crushing power unfurl and did whatever the hell he wanted before his last run caught up with him??? If he learned how to manage them so he didn't burn out??????
Fuck, dude
#Trigun#Like it's hard to wrap my mind around something that would break the foundation of Vash's character like that#(I'm sure there are excellent AUs out there that explore it--it just wrecks me enough I haven't read any yet lmao)#But just the CONCEPT#He could end the universe if he wanted to!!!!!!#Like!!!!!!!!!!!#I think he burns more power CONTROLLING it than he does using it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#Anyway done with my unhinged ramblings for today#I'm very out of it BUT I HAD TO SCREAM

Modern au
One major point of difference between Aelin and Manon is how how they deal with success.
Aelin loves it and loves the sense of accomplishment that she gets every time she does something that gets her a lot of praise. She’s cocky and loves for that kind of joy. She picks these things because she knows the end result and she just loves being the center of attention because she’s Aelin.
Manon is also very successful but she doesn’t deal with it the same way. She doesn’t feel any sense of accomplishment, it’s just one thing that’s causing her a lot of anxiety off of her shoulders and she’s relieved that it’s over more than anything else. She certainly doesn’t await anyone’s praise. She’s also lowkey competitive so anything less than perfect results is a fluke in her eyes. (For example in school or in any competition she’s either at the number one spot or she’s has brought shame and disgrace to both herself and her name). So to Manon, there is no joy in these things; there is only stress and pressure and nothing else matters.
#booklr#manon blackbeak#throne of glass#tog#dorian havilliard#manon x dorian#manorian#aelin ashryver galathynius#I was just thinking about how they’re similar and different#both are awesome but one loves the theatrics and glory while the other is just tired and doesn’t derive any joy from it#and like Manon knows that failure has a price so she is really focused on not failing#growing up it really sucked but she LIVED for that nod of approval from her grandmother it was all she could think of#she didn’t only want to excel but she wanted to outdo everyone else#because that got her SEEN and not in a bad way#because when she was in boarding school they had those days where parents would come for a day or two#but no one ever showed up for Manon and she internalized that it’s because of her#she’s just so used to not having anyone she just doesn’t think about it anymore#so later on in adulthood she’s not used to Dorian being a whole cheering squad like that#it’s just that with Manon there are many expectations and it’s all very stifling she doesn’t enjoy it one bit#which is why Dorian is focused on lettering her try and enjoy things that are very chill and relaxing because ‘u can do something and not#expect any results from it’ but Manon is hardwired like that and by that point she was still thinking that which one of her actions would#be the last straw that will make him run for the hills#her abandonment issues were all out and she was either waiting for the inevitable to happen or unconsciously pushing those limits to see#when he’s going to finally snap#it was A LOT for her to take on and she only understood that she was self-sabotaging when she actually started therapy#and that alone was another hurdle because if she does then she’s a) badmouthing her grandmother and calling her bad or b) there IS#something fundamentally wrong with her and her grandmother is right all along#first few months with Dorian were a RIDE and then when Glennis was in the picture she was back to that limbo again#she really struggled a lot with having people who genuinely love her that was something she didn’t know how to deal with and she just#she revolted and fought them every step of the way because all her trauma was out but they STAYED

a thought: jiang cheng = caranthir with different brother problems
yesss I do agree especially in the context of which Feanorian is Jiang Cheng (clear and obvious answer) BUT I think there are some clear distinctions as well- I don't think Caranthir gets as attached as Jiang Cheng to people identified by Angry Parent as outsiders and interlopers, and I think Jiang Cheng would be initially way less into the oath, like he would hear the plan and immediately develop a stomach ache, but he'd go along with it and then the second one little brother got barbecued he'd instantly be resigned to murdering every single person in Beleriand to fulfill it.
#jiang cheng would semi-accidentally invent commerce I know it#but caranthir would not love wei wuxian like that he'd be even more of a yanli boy#probably! it's possible that he just didn't happen to click with the cousins available to him and he'd really have liked wei wuxian#also possible that jiang cheng would say something jiang cheng flavoured to angrod and angrod wouldn't take it well#like does caranthir simply lack for a wei wuxian is a valid question#but jiang cheng#loving where he's not supposed to is so key idk i think he'd be in the tank for at least one forbidden cousin regardless#chengqing enjoyers and caranthir/haleth enjoyers share the same excellent taste

followup to this crossover doodle that I've been thinking about since the first one, lol. tfw the person whose house you accidentally broke into turned out to be so chill that you almost forgot she's got other party members you're still gonna have to explain yourself to :Ic
#dnd#dungeons and dragons#character art#dragonborn#gnome#rogue#wizard#a smoothie#here is the trouble with having adhd and trying to do art:#I opened csp to EITHER do new felix art OR draw something from the last session of mel's campaign (which was excellent)#and what I ended up doing was finishing this meme I started months ago. naturally. lmao#anyway I don't really have any solid thoughts about this crossover or where it would possibly go from here#the idea of the rest of the party waking up the next morning and there's A Guy there for ??? reasons was just funny to me#melliwyk-- noticing dawn breaking while they were talking: tsk. I'm going to get yelled at 🙄#correct but for the wrong reasons (this time). who is this GUY.
