What is your take on Relativity Falls Fiddleford?

SO. UH. i very much still do not have any sort of concrete, finalized take on relativity falls (there are just so many possibilities to do) but i think fiddleford specifically i always like to highlight in that au when im talking about it because to me he can kinda start one of my favourite conversations, which is "just what are the 'swapping' rules when you make a 'swap au'?" when do you break those rules, if there even is the point of making rules in general, and is there swap aus where you only swap one thing and so everything follows that change in tandem?

and i bring this up specifically because a lot of the time, in relativity falls, fiddleford's role i'd specifically classify as just

"isnt he a stand-in for candy/grenda when he's the stan twins' friend?" NOT NECESSARILY. because even when they play it the most straight and have fiddleford swap with, like, candy. right. everybody really likes fiddleford! most of the time, relativity falls fans and old mystery trio fans DIRECTLY overlap. so fiddleford isnt just candy or grenda, because he is implied to have so much more screentime/serious moments than candy and grenda do. because we like fiddleford and want to see more of him!

but that begs the question, do you just pretend really hard that fiddleford is just a direct stand-in for candy & grenda, or do you acknowledge that when one cast of characters swaps ages with another cast, and by extension, swaps stories, it's not going to be an exact even split?

and once you get over THAT, you can REALLY start having fun with aus like this. because if youre like "well fiddleford doesnt necessarily have to be a direct parallel to candy and grenda, it doesnt always have to be an exact 'character swap'"! you end up going from this sort of uphill battle of having to do things like making dipper and candy be portal partners to something like, i dont know, PACIFICA filling in fiddleford's role while she also takes on a bit of a lazy susan role! and fiddleford can just be the kid friend of the stans' since YOU CAN JUST DO THAT!

...but if you asked ME, what i would do with fiddleford? well, i would make him the stans' friend, obviously, but i think i would make him the handyman of the mystery shack. ...yes, taking soos' role.

why? well, soos is the best tritagonist for dipper and mabel, usually! he's also someone who tinkers with stuff, just like fidds! it feels like a natural fit for mystery trio-esque shenanigans, no?

but of course, that begs the question "mothra, fiddleford is 12, mabel couldnt legally HIRE him, right??" great point! fiddleford basically begged mabel to let him work there so he could have access to power tools. you wanna know how they cover up the fact that mabel is kinda letting a kid work at the mystery shack?

yeah. thats what i would do.

so where does that lead soos in "portal incident" story? is he the equivalent to mcgucket? i dont really know. he doesnt necessarily have to be. he could be anything. maybe hes the mayor. i dont know

it is the last 👏 line 👏 tag 👏 gaaame! tagged by @magnusbae @quillingwords and @wordsinhaled

“Yes, Hob,” Dream sighs, the bashfulness from the admission gone and replaced once again by amusement. “I think about you often. Too often, in my opinion. It’s very. Distracting.”

i wasn't gonna post this particular one, but seeing as how much you enjoyed @issylra's "by the minute" (as we all did), N, i figured i'd tease a this little phone sex adjacent smut-shot (aka what i wanted to happen if Matthew hadn't interrupted Hob and Dream in chapter 3 lol).

not following the rules and tagging: @delta-pavonis @arialerendeair @staroftheendless and @littledreamling

#secrets out 👀#if i didn't have work today this would be done i stg #this au has me by the fucking throat #dreamling #phone sex au #there's so many directions i wanna take this #but i'll settle on just PWP pfft #btw beth you're tagged as well #hehe

Something I like about Leo is that he’s honestly really chill? It’s easy to remember the moments where he’s being obnoxious or excitable but I feel like most of the time he’s incredibly “go with the flow” and has an overall affable demeanor.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #Genuinely speaking I feel like said demeanor is incredibly useful for when he has to charm and/or persuade people into listening to him#I have a whole post talking about Leo’s charm and how he consistently gets people to hear him out even if he’s annoyed or upset them #like they’ll still listen to what he has to say in full #his charisma stat is real and utilized quite often in this series I swear he’s not just a loser cringeboy all the time 😭#if he wants to persuade and/or charm then he honestly sooo often does #me listing the 400th reason why Leo grows up to be the worlds best ninja and a good 365 of those reasons are Leo’s various subterfuge skill #Like most episodes where he’s not the main focus (and even many where he is)#he’s a voice of reason who notices things quickly and is often the one taking point to talk down situations #something interesting I found between Leo and Mikey is that #Mikey tells people what they need to hear #Leo tells people what they want to hear #not only out of his own agenda either #when bullhop was wrecking their home leo was the one that negotiated to make the situation go smoother #even if he would have rather bullhop left #meanwhile Mikey is the one who bluntly tells things as it is #small character moment that means a lot to me #Mikey is an honest boy who is upfront about his feelings #Leo prefers to let people make their own decisions he wants them to through steering the convo in that direction #but he is easily cowed by guilt #regardless leo is a people person - he knows how to talk to them and how to manipulate/persuade #and I like that his bros know this and often push him forward to do the talking if they wanna charm someone into doing what they want #I think Leo’s hope speeches are also an example of this - he’s saying what people really want to hear (and often it’s ALSO what they NEED)#the further the series goes on the higher Leo’s inner stress rises and he just keeps that chill aura anyway #there’s a reason!!! he wanted to go to a SPA so badly!!#literally the first thing he does when he gets in is rest #no joke meditation would do him good? like- it’s a Leo thing and I genuinely think rise leo would be no different here

truly what a guy

#malevolent #malevolent podcast #arthur lester #arthur malevolent #john doe #john malevolent #my art #ahfdgfghsdd i have so many important things to do but these two have overtaken all of my waking thoughts so i'm fucked to say the least #adgfd i just wanna talk about them with someone but no one i know has the energy for that 12h long infodump #straight up today was my first truly no work day in a few weeks and what did i do? spent half the day figuring out how i want to draw arthur #still not sure if this the direction i wanna take his design in but somehow along the process he ended up as like my ideal look on masc days #tbh i don't have the time to unpack whatever that says about me ywy #john's design is very much still a first draft but i can't think about it too much or i might just actually go insane #this podcast makes me unwell(affectionate)#the universe is so evil for not letting me just draw them all day long ywy #in an ideal world it would be no diploma no uni applications only malevolent #.....i'm gonna stop with the rambling now #so yeah go listen to malevolent

another request from cohost! my friend asked for traditional inuk hairstyle like qilliqti, which is what i ended up going with! looking up the hairstyles sent me on a sidequest of looking at a bunch of fashion designers with modern takes on traditional clothes, so i also used some of those! so credits for that under the cut vv

jacket- https://www.instagram.com/p/C3QiKIdO0Jp/?img_index=5 jacket 2 (full fashion show with more angles, and a lot of super cool designs, also really cool music)- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp_eAzDu8xU patch- https://www.bradorfabrics.com/products/inukchic-iron-on-patches-celestial-narwhal hair originally from the film atanarjuat the fast runner, but the specific screenshot is here https://www.pinterest.com/pin/53480314313400875/

#originally i was going to give her specific earrings too but they were covered by her hair so i couldnt get it to look quite right #of course for the hair specifically it was hard to find a reference that didnt link back to avatar somehow #but the pictures themselves are real so thats fine #i honestly dont think i fully did the hairstyle justice because braids are not my strong suit #even though i gave her braids in her regular design too #anyway i also was like if im putting her in modern clothes lets make it the modern au. and im signifying that by having her play geoguesser #its actually openguesser tho bc geoguesser makes you pay now???#i wanted to play a round to use for the screenshot but i wasnt about to pay money for it so i played openguesser instead lol #also i kinda just wanted to play it too. not gonna lie #but yeah i really hope i portrayed everything well esp since im taking direct inspo from real designers #i wanna make sure everything is credited. so many of those designs are gorgeous and you guys should go look #and while i went with a more casual everyday look here i would love to draw her in something more intricate sometime too #so yeah i hope it all came out well enough 👍 and that i did the req justice even if im not great at braids #its good practice right?#finn's art #finn's ocs

thank you to everyone who has been patient with me the last few days! i know there hasn't been a whole lot of ic activity & a few back-to-back ooc posts. which it is my blog & i know i can post about anything & everything i feel like, but i still appreciate the people who are waiting on ic & ooc replies & understanding that i have a lot going on in my life right now. most of it is positive! i feel so, so, so fortunate for the way this year has gone it has been so full of old & new friends, family & good memories. but that's left a little less room for online activities.

not that i treasure any of the bonds i've made online any less, it's just difficult to find the right balance between online & offline relationship maintenance. i usually focus on one or the other but i am trying to change that because my online bonds are so important to me as well. which is where i think i am especially thankful for the people who have been patient with me? i know i am often hard to get ahold of / talk to in general just because of fluctuating energy levels i just appreciate the people who stick around so so much.

tomorrow i'm hoping to set some time aside to check in with friends & pursue creative outlets, though i can't promise anything! i will probably continue being pretty low activity until august second bcs my brothers will be here until them & every moment i can steal with them is so, so, so important for reasons i don't want to get into on the dash. i am so thankful to have the opportunity to connect with them this year like i have & i just feel so lucky for every bond i've been able to make & grow with others .

anyways, i am rambling. i just wanted to make a little bit of an update because i haven't done much ic stuff lately, which is definitely ok, but i have enough friends & relationships forged via tumblr i want to do a little ' things are good, they're just busy ' post since i've shifted from being chronically online to almost always outside in the span of a few days.

#ooc.#tbd.#this being said i do have some things in the queue #mostly musings posts & little things #nothing major #i am hoping to write tomorrow #i was going to try tonight but honestly i just wanna take a big sleep so i can make my brain work #but i am sending love in so many different directions rn & am thankful for the opportunity to do so

What do you guys want from Tails's characterization/character arc in the next games?

Not in a general "Tails should be this and that" way, but specifically taking into account the events of the previous games and especially Frontiers?

#tails #sonic #sonic the hedgehog #tails the fox #miles tails prower #reply to this post or send me an ask! whatever you want. i wanna see everyone's opinions/ideas #personally I don't know... I haven't finished watching the translation of the japanese cutscenes for frontiers. but.#it feels like they could be potentially setting up a tails&sage conflict in the future and you could take it in so many directions...#project.txt

why the fuck do i miss pigeons

#don't ask me i am going thru it today #ebhehbbehbhebhabh #i miss pigeons dude #oooh the poor little domesticed cuties #kate rambles from here #this is a small detail of the feeling i am feeling #like post leaving nyc is wrecking havoc on my psyche #i don't want to be in the fucking great plains #a few irls don't understand my want for city life- and i didn't know it was this bad until staying there for 4 days-#but my mom's whole family is from the city- i just feel so at home there- and everything i've inherited that way is in my blood #and i just wanna bawl my eyes out #i have been quite a bit but like ik i have a goal now- to move into the city- i've always had that goal to at least move to the city near m #but like nyc was like being somewhere i felt i wanted- it's not that i'm looking to make it big- i miss the noise the water and pigeons #around here you'll hear the occasional car go by- and crickets- i miss the city lights- i keep crying about it for so many reasons but #i just don't know how to actually express it?#because it's such an odd feeling for me to feel? because if yknow me well- i love being at home- i hate sleeping somewhere else-#taking a trip down south this last christmas- i couldn't stand the quiet- it's quieter the more south you go and i can't do this #i've always wanted to leave my small town but ?? like actually being somewhere that has felt home has been unattainable bc every #where in oh hasn't been home... and for once i felt like i could do this- and having to return here- just made me break down and cry #maybe it's the person i live with- that makes me wish to leave- but that's not the full truth- idk maybe a good nap will help #kate rambles #i have a life goal now but i wish i could do it now- i hope sooner rather than later i'll at least live in the city #i've been happily living but now i have a direction i wish to run towards- and i'm gonna chase after it #sure i miss seeing tbz i loved seeing them- but it's not even post concert depression- if that makes sense?#which it doesn't make sense- because for mx it was only pcd- but for nyc it's missing the city... and it feels awful #pls ignore this i just needed to be frustrated somewhere #ig knowing what i'm missing- i can finally work on filling that spot huh? i guess that's what i'll be doing #(also vv small point but the fact that one of the people i live with- refuses to ever visit nyc again- is so comforting to me)#pls don't send me an ask about this i just needed to ramble and i haven't caught up on my daily journal yet to do so- so this is here

love how studio orange made vash go super saiyan mode to explain him getting the trimax hairstyle lmao

#when i saw that i'm like #YOO THAT'S THE TONGARI WE ALL KNOW!#the trimax fan in me screamed bro #so embarrassing #anyway that final episode is just... chokeful of references i keep having to pause and do the leonardo dicaprio pointing thing at my screen #twin wings too... damn those twin wings...#and ofc MILLY THOMPSON? CHRONICA?#oh god my heart is beating so fasts all of the main players... they're mentioned so early on #anyway i really REALLY hope s2 gonna take more direct inspirations from trimax when it comes to character designs #i wanna see them adapt nightow's cool yet impractical costumes in their own ways #probably make it more scifi than steampunk #so many things to say #but yeah... i think the ending is okay #2 volumes crammed into 12 episodes is... a pretty risky move but i think they managed to do something with it #but i do hope people go read the manga after this #because there's so much things tristamp aren't t able to show in the manga #especially rem's and tesla's subplot those are so important to knives and vash's motivations #tmi tag #trigun

one of my favorite flavors of harukyon is the idea that once they finally get over themselves and get together kyon becomes a lot less tsundere (maybe not openly but when they're alone/not in public) and haruhi very specifically does not

#ruby.txt #granted you can take their relationship in SO MANY directions and it will still make sense #but based on canon evidence i think this one is hilarious #tanigawa. tanigawa you wanna give me the remote island syndrome rundown SO BAD. NAGARU TANIGAWA YOU WANT TO GIVE ME THE REMOTE ISLAND SYNDR #until and unless we get a full explanation from SOMEONE that isn't koizumi being vague i'm choosing to believe he was just #very blatantly flirting with her the whole time #saying all the shit he thinks about her but is (presumably) actively stopping himself from saying #i say presumably because THE SHIT HE SAYS OUT LOUD ABOUT MIKURU SURE IS SOMETHING #harukyon
