Could you possibly make a moodboard themed around McDonald's (like with happy meals, playsets, Ronald-)? Without a pacifier please?

Sure thing!!

i've read your other amazing squid s/o stuff and i decided we don't have enough </3

how about the Octavinelle trio with a mer s/o who is a bigfin squid? i imagine their s/o would be stupidly tall, and since they're deeper sea squids they'd be sensitive to light :) s/o standing in the dark corner ominously

-bigfin anon :D

These creatures have very little known about them. so I did a bit of research to try and figure it out.

Also warning for this story due to some body horror. Also a bigfin squid just under the cut!

Description

You are a rather shy and secluded mer, deep in the depths of the ocean and swilling using your large fins on your sides, your long arms shifting around to catch any small creatures floating in the water to eat. You have pale white skin with black eyes. The few merfolk interactions you didn't really like due to how they made fun of your weird elbows.

When you came to the surface you were still made fun of for your odd human form. You are abnormally tall at 6’9” so our learned the art of slouching and keeping your head down. Your pale white skin and black eyes weren't too unusual it was your arms and sides. Along your sides were little flaps of skin similar to your very large fins that helped you through the water. Your arms had a second elbow just above where the elbow usually would be. you're able to contort your arms into very unsettling and unnatural shapes due to this. It also doesn't help that your elbows are able to bend both ways. Creating even scarier contortions. You were bullied a lot for this and when you discovered how often humans will cover their arms you started to do so. you trained yourself to lock your second elbow and try to pass it off as normal. At NRC you are happy to leave behind the rude mers at the training camp but it's so scary and way to bright on the surface. you just hope no one will find out about your arms...

Octavinelle

Azul: Unfortunately any student trying to keep their head down means they have something to hide, and something that people want to be hidden can be exploited. He had Jade observe you and was told about your mer characteristics. Blackmailed you into working for the lounge, mostly in the back of the kitchen, since you practically begged him to not have you work with the public. You were an ok worker but very shy. Honestly found your arms super weird and disturbing, stopped any bullying against you since he knows what that's like. After his overblott, he released you and apologized for his actions. He even offered some small discount in the lounge for you.

The first time he saw your mer form was by accident. It was very late and azul usually would use his personal tank to be in his merform, but unfortunately, it was being cleaned thanks to a certain eel twins prank. You shrieked when you both made eye contact. He stumbled back from the pool not expecting anyone else to be there. You try and hide your arms and flee but the pool wasn't too big. He assures you that you are fine, but when you say that he doesn't have to lie to you about it. You know that others see you as weird with your weird arms and huge side fins. He shushes you and recognized that you've been through similar things like him. you both connect over being seen as monsters. To him, you're so interesting, being fairly boneless yet having what equates to elbows. You both don't move fast either and become good friends behind closed doors, venting and helping each other heal from your pasts. The twins still tease you both but will happily torture anyone who speaks badly about either of you.

Jade: oya? seems a little fish is trying to keep their head down and stay unseen? what are you trying to hide he wonders. Thanks to permission from azul he observed and watched you carefully. Finding out that you were a merfolk wasn't too big of a surprise, what surprised him was what type of merfolk you were. Not many deep-sea merfolk are ever seen. And your type of merfolk, even the species of squid are rare to see. He continues to watch you for a bit before revealing himself. you were blackmailed and forced to serve in the lounge, but luckily the back kitchens were somewhat dimly lit and you worked well. despite a few accidents here and there from your strangely long arms. He likes teasing you and seeing you squirm from his comments. once served you up some squid and you looked rather sick.

He obviously saw your merform when he was stalking observing you. He honestly thought you were interesting. the large fins along your side were something he has never seen on any mer and the strange elbow-like spots on your arms were interesting. Does experiments with your arms and gets morbidly fascinated at the crazy contortions he is able to push your arms too. may or may not have taken a bit off of one of your tentacles when he decided to swim with you in one of the octavinelle pools.

Floyd: Honestly thought you were so boring since you were always so shy and covered up. Once Jade revealed that you were a mer then he was interested. called you little clam. Likes to poke and prod at you to try and see how you would react. He pestered you a lot when you were forced to work in the kitchen. When he was told about your arms he immediately grabbed them and you freaked out and used an impressive amount of strength to throw him back and run away. He liked that!

He chased after you to where you ran away and saw you out the octavinelle windows into the water around the dorm, followed you and you elbowed him back. He laughed at your elbows and noted how he's never seen a bigfin squid! he likes to poke at your big fins and laugh at your elbowed tentacles. He's mean but he will defend you if anyone decides to mess with you, only he's allowed to mess with big fin squiddy! Otherwise, he gets rather bored with you and even just ignores your presence, you like those days.

Topsy!

Suppose you're beyond satisfied with your life, all is well until everything you're familiar with is stripped away: a new life that you don't care for.

Now, do you succumb to bitterness over what's been lost? Or do you pick up the remnants of what once was, joining them to create something greater than before?

(Dying doesn’t count, and no you aren’t a bug nor are you an animal in this scenario. Unfortunately.)

What an interesting prompt!

Of course I'd rebuild and regrow. I don't think I'd ever succumb to bitterness. Not to quote my own story, but there's a line I gave Teldryn in "Finding Mara" that goes: “Satisfaction isn’t some kind of beast to be hunted down. It’s something that is cultivated.”

I try to live my life knowing that my contentment could be ripped away at any moment. There is no guarantee that tomorrow will come. The only guarantee in life is that things will change, and that one day we'll all die. That's about it. So, in the meantime, I'll cultivate each day to be exactly as I want it to be! Within limitations. Find the small joys.

Do you think Scout has a skincare routine? He's one of the youngest and looks it, despite living with desert sun hitting him in the face constantly, which leads to my inquiry. Bonus question: if he does, what does Spy think of it?

You have a good point there, but I cant really picture scout having a skincare routine. He seems like the type to never learn about skin care or think it falls under the "girly makeup" category (moronic). I think the most he does is wash his face every morning and put on sunblock. However, if he were to have one, spy would despise it and think it's pathetic. Not because scout has one, but because it's inevitably less fancy than the 3 and a half hours spy sits in front of his mirror applying the most expensive creams and scrubs known to man

Heyy 🐝 "Secrets can't be kept"

He had a whole plan. Return to Starling city, be a billionaire party boy by day and a vigilante at night. That plan did not take getting injured into account, much less being found by his best friend after the fact-- and of course Oliver's hood just had to fall down beforehand because; secrets can't be kept for long.

as a zenos aficionado what kind of experiments do you think emet did to him that fandaniel just sort of mentioned in passing other than making a nine foot tall dd blond bombshell a la rocky horror picture show?

Okay hear me out! I got at least one theory.

I think that Emet tried to transfer his memories to another soul that might be compatible because of his heritage.

As we know the ascians use the memory stone to reawaken their memories of the days before the final days and while they happened. But they didn't chose just some person, Emet-Selch had to find the shard of the soul the memory stone belonged to.

So what if he tried to recreate a soul that was closer to his being than just reawaken someone. Specially if they run out of shards?

What if that is the reason Zenos is the Dreamer? What if that is also the reason why he absorbed knowledge like a sponge? Because if you already have the knowledge of something that you might have forgotten over the years, you just need to respark that knowledge and it's easier to re learn and remember.

I would really love to have an official answer to why Zenos has dreams of the final days. Tho I fear that was cut content and we might never know. as well as if that was part of the experiments or not. And if that wasn't part of it, what the hell did Emet do? I want answers. Honestly I don't care if they have finished his story line or not . I want answers.

for @isaf-larper

i have never ever drawn old men so thi awas interesting xD

[softquietsteadylove]

What about 'You doesn't believe in love not until you met someone' trope? I'd love to see Gilgamesh as that someone who doesn't believe in love and Thena being the someone that made him believe in love (I've read the mob boss x secretary au and I loved it, I just loved the idea of everything turning around this time).

Gil doesn't really believe in love. Not that he doesn't believe it exists at all--that would be ridiculous. But he's not sure he really believes it's for him.

He might have considered himself a romantic at some point in his life. He's always liked cooking, some other kind of artsy things. He might have once imagined he'd be a great cook, maybe have someone special with whom to share his talents and ideas.

But, well...life. It happens, it stretches out, it gets in the way of things and ideas once imagined. Like when he learns that his father is actually a piece of garbage who only thinks of his wife and own children as tokens in his business pursuits. Or when his sister's husband up and leaves without a word to any of them.

Things like that might have led Gil to believe that love isn't what he once he thought.

But Gil is fine with the idea that he's going to be alone. He likes people just fine, he still gets out enough, still talks to people at his job with the bakery. And the early mornings are soothing, just him and the bread and the ovens. Sometimes he makes himself some eggs.

He just doesn't think love is for him.

"Y'ever considered givin' it a chance, though?" Druig asks him one day during his apprenticeship. He's ready to start baking himself any day now, but he's dragging his feet about it. Gil thinks it's because there's some girl he likes who comes in close to closing time everyday, and if he has to start getting up at 3 or 4 in the morning then he'll be done before she comes in.

"Not you too," Gil grumbles, slipping the croissants away to proof before he throws them in the ovens for tomorrow.

"What can I say?" Druig shrugs in his own measly defense. "It's that time'a year."

Yes, and Gil does not need reminding of it. It's already awful that the bakery walls have little heart decorations and all the icing on the cakes is pink and there are sprinkles and it all makes him sick.

"Brighten up, mate," Druig nudges him a little more gently on his way to the walk-in. "You'll scare away the public at this rate."

Gil sighs. Maybe he has a point. Maybe he's starting to become a real prick about it. Maybe he's let it be such a part of him for so long that he's just stubbornly making it a part of his life at this point.

He just doesn't think love is for him.

"Hello?"

Gil goes out to the front, surprised to see not just Druig's 'beautiful, beautiful Makkari' but another woman as well. He raises his brows at both of them. The taller one - with hair like powdered sugar - just stares right back at him. He looks at Makkari. Druig?

She blushes but nods. Gil holds up the counter for her to go back and visit with him, but she looks at her friend.

"I'll wait," Blondie says, although she doesn't sound entirely enthused about it. Maybe she's also had to suffer their insipid sweet talk and canoodling.

Makkari elbows her and tugs at her beige trench coat. She looks between them before giving Blondie a pointed look. Talk.

Bondie sighs but nods, letting Makkari scurry behind the counter and to go giggle with Druig in the back.

"You, uh," Gil closes the counter again and tugs at his apron, "want something?"

She meets his eye. She isn't even actively glaring, she just has eyes so intense he feels like the air pressure around him has changed. They're a beautiful colour, he has to admit. "Do you have anything not valentine's day themed?"

"Mm," Gil purses his lips and rubs at the hair on his chin. He knows for a fact that all of the pastries on display are specifically valentine's themed. He looks up at the shelves behind him. "You like brown bread?"

She smiles, and he has to admit it's a nice smile. "Thanks for trying."

"I'm not really the one responsible for," he gestures to the pastry case full to the brim with white and pink and red and sprinkles, "this. I don't blame you."

"I suppose it's unavoidable," she concedes, unfolding her stiff posture and drifting closer to the brightly lit case. Her eyes travel over the display. "Is it so much to ask it be confined to the day itself? I might even be able to tolerate it if it were one day instead of two solid weeks."

"Hey, I agree," Gil snorts, leaning on the top of the counter lazily. It's not exactly a shining example of customer service, but he has a feeling she won't complain. "But you know what people are like about this stuff."

"Indeed." She finishes her examination of the sweets and looks up again. Her eyes dash to the back hall, but Makkari is still back there with her own sweet. She looks at Gil again, "Thena, by the way."

"What, like the goddess of war?" he asks, and is met with only the most serious of nods. It kind of suits her, though, he thinks. His eyes travel over her.

"Exactly so," she raises a brow, as if to ask him if he has a problem with her name being what it is.

"It's quite a name," he comments neutrally. "But mine's Gilgamesh, so I can't really talk any shit."

"I suppose not," she tilts her head at him. "You're not how I imagined."

"And how's that?" he asks, slumping against the counter again. He might as well talk to her while Druig and Makkari are having their little moment.

"Kari described her little gremlin back there," Thena nods her head in their general direction. "And his coworker--a big guy, she said. Thinks he's intimidating but has a heart of gold?"

"Well, I could still have a heart of gold, you don't know."

"Do you?"

"No, but you don't know that."

Thena lets out a laugh, and it's a nice laugh, he has to admit. "You know, I bet it's pretty golden."

"You think?" he frowns. He certainly doesn't think he presents as some gentle giant. If anything, maybe he goes out of his way to be as unfriendly as his job with allow. It keeps him from having to talk to people more than necessary.

Thena keeps smiling at him, though, and it does something to him. He likes it. "I think you make a good show of having a tough outside. But I'm willing to bet that you're quite the softie."

That's rich, coming from a woman who looks like a sunbeam in human form. He turns his frown into a scowl, "what makes you say that?"

She raises a brow at him again, and his stupid little heart starts arguing with his big dumb brain. "You've been letting Makkari come in for weeks now, always close to when you're trying to close, always letting her distract Druig while you shut things down by yourself?"

Gil is shocked. Sure, everything she's said is technically correct. But...well, just because he doesn't think love is for him, doesn't mean he would get in the way of Druig's chance at happiness.

Thena leans against the counter, getting up on her toes to lean closer to him. "She's going to ask him out today. I'm here for moral support."

Gil is still shocked. What feels like a lifetime of declaring that romance is overrated, and this woman sees right through him after knowing him for ten minutes.

"I'm not sure why I agreed to it," Thena sighs, although her smile still hasn't left. If anything, it grows wider and brighter. It's one hell of a smile. "Maybe I have some romanticism left in me."

Maybe love is for him.

can you do a frog moodboard more fem themed? (I have a trans woman friend that is agere) You can do with paci, but without the jewels if you can ><

Yes!!

[fanficwriter284]

So I heard Chucky's fear was being forgotten/non-existent, so I gotta ask, Chuck what triggered that fear?

Good question!!! Thanks Roz!

Ok, well this fear originates to back when he was younger when he still lived with his tyrant of a father. And in my AU's it stems from different reasons. Like the AU with Carolus.

In the Carolus AU (where he actually lived till he was about 13) this fear is built upon how easily his father disregarded his twin when he died at Lukas' Ray's hands. How his memory was completely erased and anytime Chucky mentioned his late brother he was beaten within every inch of his being. It haunted him how his very own twin was just forgotten about and how everyone moved on without a second thought and his death never received any questioning.

In the AU where Carolus never got the chance to live, Chucky's fear stems from, when he was younger, and he ran away for a short period of time. And nobody seemed to care. In fact, it was the exact opposite. The only one who seemed to care was Tiffany, but besides that he had nothing. No family, no home, and no one to share his pain. He'd just be tossed aside like an old sock into the darkness and forgotten.

I can’t even ask this without laughing. But how would Felix and Demetri handle a mate that enjoys dancing all up on them 👀👀👀? I just feel like theyd get lost in the sauce at a latin club

Oh anon thank you for the mental image and I have to say I believe you are partly right 😂

Demetri

Absolutely fucking loves it and probably gets crazier than you

Embarrasses everyone in the guard when they just want to blend in

Why are they there? Everyone probably finished the actual mission and you and Demetri said that you might as well enjoy the nightlife

I bet Carnival is something Demetri enjoys going to every once in awhile

Felix

Don’t do this please

He used to be a flirt but homeboy was all talk

Any kind of body on body movement is in the bedroom pls

Seriously probably won’t even step into a nightclub because he would stick out and they can’t be drawing attention to themselves

[obi-wkenobi]

ahsoka! (ask meme) <3

ooof okay, this will be interesting skskk

First impression:

not much to be honest. i was first introduced to her three years ago via the clone wars film and really didn't think much of her. at that point, i had only seen the films so was only interested in the characters i knew and didn't give much thought to the new ones being introduced.

Impression now:

she's cool and i like her, but im not as invested in her character or story as i am with other characters. sometimes i think i might have been more into her if i had grown up with her, alas that wasn't the case.

Favourite moment:

hmm, i enjoyed seeing her compassion and strength for the captured Jedi younglings during the 'padawan lost' episode. her kindness was lovely to see after so much action during the previous episodes.

Idea for a story:

ahsoka is reunited with obi-wan before a new hope, maybe only days before? and its just a very emotional and wrenching moment. i really want to see them dealing with anakin's betrayal together, and i hope that this could possibly even happen in canon. don't ask my how though haha.

Unpopular opinion:

the content that we're given showing her and anakin's relationship doesn't align with the depth and strength of their bond that we're told they have. that's not to say that they don't care for or love each other, because i can see that they do, but sometimes i feel that the importance of their relationship is exaggerated.

Favourite relationship:

despite what i said above, her relationship with anakin is my favourite. it's fun and its adaptive and its interesting, i can clearly see why she was introduced to develop anakin's character in the period between aotc and rots and i'm grateful that their relationship added depth to the overall story.

Favourite headcanon:

ahsoka is known for being the fastest Jedi in the temple when using force assisted speed. she just likes to go zoom zoom zoom everywhere.

Send me a character.
