The fic by Rockity Sock is still an unpublished WIP so far, but it's really nice and will hopefully be completed and published later.
It begins at the end of the Ultimate Enemy episode, with Dan getting trapped in the thermos. And... I'm not sure how much I can say without spoiling it, but a lot of really cool stuff happens. It's a psychological type of fic, about different types of prisons and punishments, and has time stuff and pocket dimensions, and redemption stuff. (I was only planning on drawing one illustration for IB, but when I saw the WIP, I wanted to see so many things animated. So many awesome visuals. I wish I could've animated them all.)
This is the part I did animate:
He just walked for now, searching for the tiniest crack. The darkness went on for seemingly forever though, and no matter how far he walked it kept on going
Dan kept moving
He tried his best to break through the walls but every ectoblast he formed fizzled out. Fading into the darkness.
Oh, now it makes sense.
His powers are being limited, it takes him a few more tries to believe it. The fact that he’s trapped with nothing whatsoever. Endless hours spent, and wasted. Powers he has built up from the ground with no mentor, ones he trained endlessly after a decade.
Gone, disappeared, muffled. Limited. Dan let out a laugh, one with no humor. A laugh that turned into a cackle, he couldn’t stop.

“Kingdom Hearts being an epic slow burn gay romance would be incredibly impactful to people both personally and as a landmark in queer representation by extremely popular and established characters. It has decades of legitimate buildup and has the potential to be both incredibly validating to queer fans everywhere and even possibly sway the minds of those who love the characters but may not have much contact or knowledge of queerness.”
and
“The Kingdom Hearts series is honestly kind of unique in its unabashed emotional sincerity. How it treats friendships and non-romantic bonds as being both extremely important and powerful, never giving the impression that friendship is lesser to romance, is depressingly still somewhat of a rarity in media. This is very important and validating to many, particularly aromantics but also most everyone who is just Tired of how friendships and romance are often presented in tiers of importance.”
How do you pick Thee Bias though. Is it the one who is most relatable to you? The one you are most attracted to? The one who sounds the best to your ears and looks the prettiest to your eyes? Is it magic or is it statistics? Like the one who you spend the most time editing and posting about. Or the one who you put the most effort into and go to the greatest lengths for. Or the one who you willingly work on 720p quality material for. Or is it maths. The one with the biggest gifset. Or the one with the most number of posts. Or. Is it Wooyoung with the 1000 frame gifset versus Hyunjin's 70 MB post versus a 12 layer San photoedit.
Or is it the one I would save from a burning building first. Because ok, without hesitation, that's Song Mingi.
apparently when I was playing needy streamer overload drunk last night w my friend I kept deleting every comment on her streams and saying "don't talk to my girlfriend. don't fucking - don't fucking say she's cute. don't ask her to speak up ok listen to women. don't fucking say hey to my girlfriend that's my FCUKING girlfirend-" to the point where all of Kangels streams were just a wall of blank screen from me deleting every comment and then when the stream ended I would pull up her chat log and spam the "idc" emote until she threatened to block me
Seeing as the big high point of Dragonflight is the relationship between Lessa and Mardra, it’s a bit of a shame that the conflict in Dragonquest doesn’t actually center around the collapse of that relationship
me sitting here with my "broyals having a quasi sunfire sibs conflict over the cube" crack theory waiting for ezran to have one (1) line of dialogue or scene with the cube:
series 3 is so frustrating because there is like a shining core of pure diamond underneath the problems . like conceptually it rocks so incredibly hard. but the problems
Look. I'm not saying he snuck back into the place where his best friend got mortally wounded, and he watched some old fuck get murdered, just to use a pool, but also, that would be a very in character thing to do.
