[saturatedsinset]

word: city!

grrrr >:(

//send me a word and I'll write an index card about it!!

[little-bubble-of-chaos]

Quinn-tessential, Irene I love that with all my heart it's great

thank you! i guess the voices did win the bet after all :D

[ukulelekatie]

I'm probably going to a Tegan and Sara concert this summer, but I'm not too familiar with most of their work so I want to listen to all the albums. I was wondering if maybe you had an album or some songs in particular that you'd recommend as a starting point?

Ooooh I love this question!

Okay so to start off, I would recommend checking out The Con and So Jealous—I’d consider these two to be the golden age of Tegan and Sara, they’re the albums that a lot of their most popular hits come from, and a lot of big fans tend to list these as the albums that first got them hooked.

Then I would listen to Crybaby, since it’s their most recent album and they’re playing quite a few of these songs on this tour.

From there I would go to Hey I’m Just Like You, Heartthrob, Love You To Death, and Sainthood.

The albums I would leave for last are If It Was You, This Business Of Art, and Under Feet Like Ours. They’re from the very early years of Tegan and Sara, and while they’re beloved by many die-hard fans, they’re not quite as palatable to newer listeners and they don’t tend to play many of them live.

Lastly, If you want to speed run this whole process or get a little taste of each era before doing a full listen-through, I made this playlist a while ago to send to all of my friends who ask me this same question ;)

Enjoy!

@iobartach gets a Quinn-tessential starter! (Nope. Not apologizing for that pun.)

--------

She'd been prepared for a night out with her friends. Okay, a night of causing mayhem for her former lover's operations here in Gotham. So when she ran into somebody who had already taken out the goons at the docks?

She wasn't too pleased on having her fun ruined.

"OI!" She snapped. "Do ya always steal a gal's thunder or is it a new habit you've decided to form?!" Her mallet was clenched tightly in her fists and she's already closing in on him. He wasn't one of the Bat-People, clearly. She wouldn't get in trouble if she clobbered him.

..... Right?

for the writer ask game — 🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.

oh gosh given a lot of what i write is smut, i think the most common denominator is putting max on his knees all the damn time 😩

haha i'm not sure if feels refers to feelings i want to elicit or a feeling i want my writing to embody but for the latter, it would probably be the feeling of anticipation a skydiver would feel before jumping out of a plane?

which is a metaphor i used once, but i love the build up to the point more than the point itself even if i'm too impatient and want to get there now dammit!

[bigbrotherlouis]

hi! just wanted to say that i really love your player poems — i am constantly sending screenshotted snippets of them to my friend who doesn’t like hockey. absolutely had an emotion over the one about taylor hall that you just posted. not sure what i’m trying to do with this ask besides tell you that a thing you brought into the world affected me! thanks for that.

this is such a lovely lovely message, thank you so much! it means a lot to me that you would think that and send it to me <33 i’m glad you like them!!

On March 13th of this year, @stephysalcido sent an ask in regarding some details on the ever-skittish plague doctor in-training Quinn, and amidst the selection of facts provided was one that would wind up being relevant in due time...

Today's the day, fellow doctors.

While not the day that I first designed Quinn— which was September 4th, for those keeping track— today is Quinn's in-universe birthday, and I just HAD to draw something commemorating one of my favorite OCs!

Though, it was a little difficult for me to settle on what exactly I wanted to draw at first. My initial plan was to do a simple bust shot of Quinn in a party hat (Rather, with a party hat on his beak... it's still a cute idea I may one day bring to fruition), though I had just drawn Quinn in his entirety a month back, and wasn't really keen on drawing something too identical to it.

But then I remembered that last year on the first of this month, I had drawn a Quinn icon, and while I don't think I ended up using it here on tumblr (Because @breakbeat-solitare had already designed me an icon for October), it was the perfect opportunity to remake it to better fit Quinn's current design iteration while also giving me a chance to use it!

It's the boy! Drawing Quinn is just SO much fun— even if it's a bit challenging to get his beak to look just right (The specific curvature is key), I find that he's one of my more visually appealing OCs and I'm just so excited to finally have him as my icon this October!

"It is to laugh, huh Mister J?"

Harley Quinn, created by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm, was once intended to serve as a one-and-done character for an episode of Batman: The Animated Series. However, due to the charm of her voice actress (and real life inspiration) Arleen Sorkin, audiences around the world quickly grew attached to the jester and her antics. Harley would make her first comic appearance in 1993 with The Batman Adventures #12, a series which tied into the beloved cartoon. It wasn’t until 1999 that the Cupid of Crime made her main continuity debut in Batman: Harley Quinn. Since then, Harley has starred in a surplus of comics, television shows, video games, movies, and more. There are also several different interpretations of the character within this collection of media.

Under the cut is an extensive list of recommended content that captures the true essence of Harley Quinn, as your official QUINN-tessential reading and watching guide! For easy navigation, the guide has been divided into six main categories: BTAS Verse, Pre-Flashpoint, Post-Flashpoint, Elseworlds, Television + Film, and Other Media.

The New Batman Adventures

The Batman Adventures: Mad Love (1993)

Batman: Harley Quinn (1999)

Please note that this guide does not contain every appearance of Harley Quinn. Most notably in the Post-Flashpoint, Elseworlds, and Television + Film categories.

from @quinn-tessentially (<33333)

three ships: SETH/PAGE!!! [quinn voice] my BELOVEDS i really do feel it solves so many people's problems. quinn thank u for supporting my rarepairs i adore u. my three (wrestling): moxbry (/regal) but they have GOT to be parents, oc/ac (like ac/dc but with significantly more naps), bucks/repression (as soon as a buck voices his feelings i am simply Out Of There disbelief UNSUSPENDED). CANT BELIEVE I FORGOT ABOUT KETH ROMEGA the ship. (seth rollins/kenneth omega for crankiest omega friend of the young bucks, adam cole u are not invited.)

first ship: very possibly ... house/wilson from house md? alternatively zoisite/kunzite from sailor moon.

last song: bright eyes devil town for fanfictional reasons (all my friends were vampires). maisie peters psycho. a bouncy lil bop!

currently reading: vlad taltos by steven brust, even tho i am not a fantasy girlie i liked to reign in hell and i think he's good on twitter! i have made it through like 3 of 15 books and i am suffering from fantasy disease burnout but it's fine. the body library by jeff noon (thanks @eggshellseas!).

last movie: LOL the forever purge. god i love those movies they're fucking stupid but their politics are so pleasant. yes tell me more about how america is a failed and evil project <3 do it with big flashy shootouts <3 (i also thoroughly enjoyed the short-lived tv series.)

currently watching: just finished peacemaker and cobra kai, both of which are about coming to terms with your own washed-up toxic masculinity to varying degrees of success. snowpiercer is still airing! it's not a good show but again i will watch anything that tries to be about the end of capitalism. (the lesbian is so sweet i forgive her for being a cop, but she does not forgive herself!) wrestling, obviously.

currently consuming: tomatoes! we are oversupplied with homegrown tomatoes! they are good but making me lightly ill.

currently craving: wrestling at the end of the world pleaaase ao3 user ionthesparrow watch wrestlingggggg write about dystopiaaaaaaa.

tagging anyone who feels like this! @kethromega, obviously, cannot live without my url twin.

[albatris]

since Quinn Cooper legally changed their name to Quinn Cooper I have an important question

[leafcabbage]

my first big idea for original fiction was about a nonbinary teenager whose best friend was the Big Superhero and they were the guy in the chair but Superhero Boy ended up not being able to defeat the villain because he was, at the end of the day, just a kid. so main character (named quinn) (i called it quinn-tessential as a nickname) (the story not the character) so the main character quinn had to go face the villain but they also couldnt win but who else was going to go and they had no super powers just their laptop which wasnt gonna do anything. cant remember how it was gonna end, probably with the villain realizing they were basically nearly killing children. or maybe with a gun.
