rambton, or idk fucken. puppetsocket if you like those wacky ship names that last drawing isn't their actual standing height difference btw, ramb is sitting

can an email and a power strip find love? yes. i have a lot of thoughts on these two interacting

so my theory for these two is that both of them have come in contact with DEVICE_FRIEND. they both were exposed to forbidden information through FRIEND, and although it affected them to different degrees, they both kinda.. lost it. obviously it's much worse for spamton, but it's still the case for ramb as well. he just tends to hide his issues.

the horror of the information they possess is something that they bond over, and something they feel like only the two of them could understand (maybe jevil can but spamton doesn't get along with him ;;). they also see themselves in each other, having been outcasted by their fellow darkners and kept in solitude. maybe together they could be less lonely?

they also think lowly of tenna, having to deal with the side of him that's not great. when they first met again, spamton got extremely angry when he was brought up, which startled ramb, but he broke down sobbing soon after the anger (which is the context for the first drawing).

that moment was when ramb fully understood that this mailman that tenna's always complaining about had more going on than just a big ego. of course he already figured, but yknow it's different seeing the guy show symptoms right in front of you

it's also just nice to spend time with another guy from the same dark world too. ramb doesn't have to feel like a fish out of water anymore, and even though spamton is scary, he's fun, he cares about him, and he doesn't judge. they kept spending time with each other and began to catch romantic feelings.. and that's how they became a couple

though i haven't figured out in what context they met again. something something the knight really did take ramb after kris gets the shadow mantle and they chuck him into castle town for some reason (maybe so he can do that "work to do" he was talking about after the shadow mantle fight)

istg youve awakened something in me w your jaykon agenda and im so here for it

Jaykon is an interesting pairing to me because if Jason had lived, he absolutely WOULD have been Kon's Robin, which, you know, could've gone either real bad or real WELL or real "oh god I regret ever even BREATHING near Metropolis" for Brucie Wayne, lbr. For one thing, Jason would've been . . . what, seventeen-ish when Kon dropped? Give or take. Which means he would likely NOT have been as "obedient" to his DAD as Tim was to his BOSS at FIFteen-ish, because from Jason's point of view that's his fucking DAD and his dad is just being goddamn paranoid and controlling and a total antisocial ASSHOLE again and ANYWAY he's like six months max from going to college and getting himself his own hero identity a la Dick getting Nightwing so fuck it, what's he care!!

( "I NEVER EVEN GOT TO BE A TITAN, B, YOU DON'T GET TO FUCK UP THIS YOUNG JUSTICE THING FOR ME, FUCK OFF. THEY'RE MINE NOW." )

And also, like, that's a very different Bruce, is the Bruce who didn't ever LOSE Jason. So hell, that version of Bruce literally might not've even TRIED to make Jason keep his name to himself in the same exclusively-just-on-HIS-terms "literally I will fucking NEVER let you tell them your name no matter WHAT" way he was acting with Tim, who he also would not let tell his LITERAL FUCKING GIRLFRIEND his name, but HE was totally fine telling her HIMSELF once it was convenient for him. Not even giving Tim PERMISSION to, just doing it HIMSELF without even telling Tim he was GOING to, Bruce Wayne you are the literal worrrrrst jfc--

ANYWAY OFF-TOPIC. Whatever that Bruce's opinion was, I can't help feeling that if JASON-Robin wasn't telling YJ his name or showing them his face at least after the first suicide pact or two, it'd be because HE didn't want to, and that is what he'd SAY to them. And I kinda think Kon would've taken that better than being told "we've been through all this shit together now and Batman is STILL more important than you" over and over and OVER every single time Tim found another excuse to hide his face or showed up in a new mask/disguise/set of glasses/goggles/whatever. Because like, that would be Jason choosing what he wants for himself, not Tim choosing Batman over literally every single member of Young Justice time and again and AGAIN and actually NEVER willingly telling them, they only found out in the end because of some dumb reality-getting-fucked shit selling his ID out accidentally.

I actually think Jason and Kon would have gotten along STUPID-well if they had met under those circumstances and it is SO rich an AU concept that I have literally never seen a single person even touch before. Though also in more canon-accurate land frankly the only understandable reason that I think Jason has Bizarro for his Super-buddy system is because Young Justice is just too insane about each other for Kon to have ever gotten put on a book like Outlaws, hah. Also, like, Kon is obviously not very murder-happy and Superboy has very different moral standards than Red Hood does, also that. But you absolutely COULD do some real interesting shit with Kon's character on a team like that, that's all imma say.

Like Kon is a dude who HAS and KNOWS that he has been convinced to be murder-happy a couple times/timelines before, is all--knows he's psychologically SUSPECTIBLE to being convinced of that--and THAT I think would be a much more interesting moral/ethical dilemma for his character development than "oh god I have Westfield/Luthor DNA so am I genetically DOOMED to be a bad guy??" No, you're not, and you are a grown-ass clone who KNOWS that!! But you are also a grown-ass clone who knows you have the CAPACITY to be a bad guy, and to actively CHOOSE to be a bad guy, to actively JUSTIFY being a bad guy to yourself, and who does NOT necessarily think Jason is wrong about dudes like the Joker never changing and the balance of that and the concept of fucking HARM reduction, if it comes down to it! Black Zero and future!Superman BOTH started out as good guys; that Superman in fact started out as HIS VERSION OF HIM EXACTLY, even! And then the two of them saw enough shit out in the world doing their superhero thing that they changed their minds ABOUT what being "good" even meant or entailed or if it was even possible at all, so if he's here and doing this, and doing this with someone like JASON who keeps KILLING people every time he takes his eyes off him, whether those people are unforgiveable bastards or not, is he gonna change his mind too? Is he gonna start thinking he's figured out what they "figured out"? Is this how "figuring out" that STARTS??

And Knockout saw SOMETHING in him, he knows, and he knows she wasn't wrong because he almost killed her. Because he WOULD'VE killed her, if she'd kept fighting when he'd held her under.

God I could do so, so much with Kon on the Outlaws and with JAYKON on the Outlaws. So, SO much.

But like, Tim Drake exists and I just cannot divorce Kon from his ride-or-die loyalty for his ride-or-die bestie so basically any time I wanna JayKon it up I gotta somehow make it Weird, hahaha.

. . . anyway, someone had something awakened in them or something??

[zarla-s]

I imagine you'll get a couple of asks about this but why do you think it's the knight that speaks to Spamton? I thought it was well accepted that the character corrupting the bosses was Gaster since Seam comments on jevil's world view becoming "yet darker" and the addisons talk about Spamton hearing garbage noise through the phone (which seems like a direct reference to the garbage noise you hear through Kris's cellhpone which is just gaster sfx edited).

[Some Deltarune Chapter 3-4 spoilers]

Not well accepted by MEEEE lol, personally I don't like attributing much of anything to Gaster in Deltarune, it feels a bit boring to me. I tend to think of him (if he's there, it'd be extremely funny to me if he just never showed up) just kind of sitting back as an uninvolved observer to see what happens. But mostly it's this that makes me think it's the knight (ignore the weird colors, Fraps does this to my Deltarune screencaps for some reason).

Also the strings that held Spamton up in the Puppetscarf feel like guitar strings according to Noelle (pull the strings and make them ring!), and guitars are associated with Dess, who is the most likely candidate for the knight in my opinion.

I don't think Ralsei is evil! I think he's hiding something that's going to be terrible for Kris and Susie and maybe everyone, although not for any malicious purposes or anything. He hides things so they don't hurt the people he cares about, which is understandable, but I feel like that's going to backfire hugely in the future, even more so than it already has. He knows more than he says and he won't tell anyone! Maybe it's bad and maybe it's good, but I don't trust him, haha.

[callingofstars]

for anybody who is a bit lost with the new myriad celestia trailer i gotchu !!

(elaborations below the cut)

in a recent special program the developers said they would be touching on aeon and faction lore more heavily in the main story, and this is what we’re seeing now!

this war of aeons hasn’t just been foretold by one prophecy - since the beginning of the universe, there have been divine forces in preparation for some large-scale calamity that mortals can’t seem to understand yet.

followers of the preservation, namely, try to prepare for this without even knowing what’s going to happen. some pathstriders worship the calamity itself, waiting for all life to end with anticipation. i’m not sure if this event specifically is what they’re talking about here, but it could be.

I WOULD RECOMMEND TURNING ON SUBTITLES BECAUSE OF THIS. absolutely insane lore drop on hoyo’s part, for a couple reasons: the event of the Erudtion’s fall is going to create a chain reaction all throughout the cosmos.

the trailer has also hinted on how Nous falls, mentioning their “end of yearning.” for those unaware, there are three ways an aeon can be killed: in a war between larger aeons, if they stop believing in the path they represent, and a secret third way we are unaware of.

this likely means Nous loses faith or is assimilated into a different path. which in turn is going to mess up some other paths and factions, namely the Masked Fools.

“the fools flounder in tears after the wise have been burned” - this implies the path of Elation is going to suffer after Erudition’s fall, since their abilities are quite literally designed to break logical thinking. the mentions of tears and mourning makes me think that the Mourning Actors are going to play a part in this.

(context: Mourning Actors, though they follow Elation, act as complete opposites to the Fools and remain constantly solemn to act against Aha’s path of laughter)

Jingliu wants to take advantage of this war between aeons to kill even more aeons. the abundance and the hunt have been at war on the Luofu forever, and she implies that the Xianzhou Alliance has the ability to KILL AN AEON. if either Lan or Yaoshi fell, their endless battles would cease and only one would reign over the planet.

do i think this is the “secret third way”? not particularly. but it is extremely interesting for another reason.

ARE WE SEEING THIS????? THE XIANZHOU LUOFU HAS NANOOK’S BLOOD. this is important because, in legend, the aeon of destruction’s golden blood is extremely powerful, and if someone were to drink it, they would undergo some sort of “transformation”.

we don’t know what this means exactly, because as far as my knowledge is concerned nobody has done it. i have a speculation that the trailblazer is very connected to this, but am not sure how yet.

silly mention to the imaginary tree lore :3

also is this implying the fact that some factions believe paths and the imaginary are bad? are people trying to destroy it????? because if so that would be a disaster i think

ALSO THIS. THIS IS EXTREMELY INTERESTING. they’re referring to Phainon, surely, but Amphoreus is the “end of time”? i had always thought of it being a looped memory of the past, but what if it’s the future?

this has ties to other aeons, namely the finality, who exists at the end of time and whispers prophecies of the end to everyone else. basically every divine force agrees that there is a calamity that will kill every god, and it lives at the end of time.

what if this prophecy isn’t referring to an event, but a person who embodies calamity? if the end of time isn’t anything to do with the silver rail or even the universe, but it’s a place where time has no end? LIKE AMPHOREUS?

i’m just thinking. the Erudition seems closest to where Phainon is undergoing his trial right. if Lygus really was an emanator of erudition (might’ve missed a page there but that’s what i gathered). if the “end” has something to do with Phainon.

and we’re gonna have to clean up the cosmos after all of this goes down. sigh

ANYWAYS I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[hahaharumi]

coming back on here in my school induced hiatus to crashout (once again) about llorumi and how almost everyone dismisses their relationship as abusive without looking deeper into it,, sure she’s certainly not the most mentally stable character and she has her own plethora of issues, and i’m not saying everyone has to love the ship!!!!! i just wish majority of the fandom didn’t outright hate on them as much as they do.

most don’t realize the gravity of the fact that she was very young with no support system to healthily recover from her parents’ death and no way of working through/understanding her emotions. she pushes everyone away-- you can see that w/ hutchins and maybe even the higher ranking s.o.g. members. she grew to resent the image of the ninja she had in her head, and throughout the series, she spirals and comes up with ways to keep that image consistent to herself, despite their actions (mainly lloyd’s) proving her totally wrong!! part of this is probably due to some envy towards lloyd, someone who has a family to run back to when things get tough. someone who gets praise while she gets forgotten. in conclusion; she really is like a jade--one of the hardest, toughest stones, formed in conditions of high pressure.

speaaaking of lloyd:: he has a raging savior complex. he's trusting to a fault, someone who sees the good and potential in everyone before all else. the harumi he knew was so delicate and nurturing, so different from the quiet one persona that he wrongfully assumes they can't coexist. we see this in crystallized as well as her appearance in prime empire, he tries to convince himself that the "good harumi" is the real one. he's been weaned on the idea of perfect villains and heroes, so when someone who's in the gray area comes his way, he hopes for the latter.

that's (parts of) their individual characters, but how do they work as a couple?? from the outside, it doesn't seem possible. one deceives while the other believes-- except not really. theyre not just their archetypes. harumi isn't just the vengeful bitch with a heart of stone who acts without reason. all she does is (subconciously) protect herself, a defense mechanism to keep her from realizing the fact that the ninja weren't at fault for her trauma. nobody directly wanted this-- and that is what scares her. lloyd isn't just the golden boy whose all-forgiving nature rivals that of Jesus Himself. like harumi, he can be a piece of shit to those who warrant it, and at one point, she really did.

their similarities, in not only their personalities but also lives, make them understand eachother-- which is ultimately what makes me love them so much. under all the anger and built-up hate is understanding. harumi understands what lloyd can take, and always stays there. lloyd understands the rough conditions in which her walls were built. they both have grown to know the parts of themselves they conceal from others, the ugly sides nobody else can see. for harumi, it's her soft side. for lloyd, it's the opposite. the side that's like his father.

tldr; theyre the perfect example of enemies AND lovers, a shining beacon of hope for the girls who feel like a liability, and also peak fiction. (plus i like how they, as a ship, really reflect one of the first morals of ninjago-- "the best way to defeat your enemy is to make them your friend.")

6ft Nothing

ex!Rafe Cameron x ex!Topper Thorten x ex!John B Routledge (for the start, but you get back together at the end) x Fem!Reader

Summary: 3 guys. 3 relationship. Always ending up with 6ft Nothing. Or so you thought.

Author's Note: Based on the song 6ft Nothing by Jenna Davis. Also, this is mainly a John B fic, but if you want two other fics where you end up with Topper and Rafe, let me know. Y/N = Your Name, Y/L/N = Your Last Name, and Y/E/C = Your Eye Colour.

Rafe Cameron. You're first boyfriend. You thought the two of you were gonna be together forever. But no. That was not the case at all. He was toxic. Abusive even. Yeah, not a great situation to be in. He'd yell, he'd hit you. But he wasn't like that all the time. He was worse when he was drunk and high. Which was most times. Rafe was violent. Manipulative. Cocky. Controlling. Possessive. Obsessive. And you, you were innocent. Kind. Naive. You trusted people too much. Loyal. And forgive way too easily. And when Rafe hit you or yelled at you, you thought that was normal. Well, he made you believe that, actually. Oh, and he also cheated on you. When you brought up the topic at a party one night, he hit you and yelled at you, and after that, you guys broke up.

Topper Thorten. Your second boyfriend. You met through Rafe. 2 weeks before you started dating, he witnessed Rafe hit you and yell at you during an argument. Did he step in? Yeah, he did, and he broke up with Rafe for you. Rafe was pissed, obviously, saying stuff like, "You'll come crawling back to me! Just like you always do, Y/n!" You ended up staying the night at Topper's house, and he comforted you all night as you cried on his chest while he held you in his arms. When you were dating, he wasn't like Rafe. At all. Well, maybe the partying, but that was it. He was kind, he let you have your space if you wanted it, and he wouldn't yell or hit you. He wasn't controlling. Wasn't manipulative. Wasn't toxic. But, there were times when he would ditch you for his friends. And you brought it up one day, he got angry and said things that he regretted as soon as they came out of his mouth. But, you and Topper didn't last either. He dumped you for Sarah Cameron. Your ex's sister. Yeah, that's a shame.

Finally, there's John Booker Routledge. A Pogue. A very very handsome Pogue. You met the night Topper dumped you for Sarah. Oh, and it was at the bonfire too, so, yeah. Great way to end the night. When you and John B started talking and hanging out, you practically became a Pogue pretty quickly. Kaira, JJ, and Pope all welcomed you from the very start. You were the only Kook they liked. And you were practically one of them since you acted like more of a Pogue than a Kook. John B started falling for you, well, actually, he fell for the very night he met you. So, one day, when looking for clues of where the gold was, he asked you out, and that's how you and John B became a couple. He was so different to both Rafe and Topper. He was basically Topper, but without the anger when you confronted him about ditching you for his friend. He was kind. Gentle. Sweet. Caring. Funny. He'd do anything for you, within reason. Sure, he was protective, and got into a fight or two. Three? But that was only ever with Topper. John B gave you space when you needed it. When you needed him, he was there. He always made sure you were okay. You were safe and happy.

So, why'd you break up if you were going so good? Well, when he kissed Sarah. Yeah. Topper and Sarah broke up, and John B accidentally kissed Sarah. Well, she kissed him, but he didn't stop her. You saw the kiss, and John B ran up to you to tell you that it meant nothing. And you knew he wasn't lying, but you still said, "I think we should take a break.' and he, being the most understanding guy he was, respected that. However, he was in hell on earth without being with you. He wanted you back in his arms. But, he knew he had to give you time.

Now, back to the present. You were sitting at the dock, thinking about everything you've been through. You wanted John B, but you were scared of getting hurt again.

"Y/N. Hey." A soft voice says as the person sits beside you.

You knew it was John B. Your John B.

"Hi." You mumbled as a reply.

You missed him, and he missed you. John B ran his fingers through his shaggy, messy hair as he sighed.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't do anything to stop Sarah from kissing me. It meant nothing. I love you, Y/N Y/L/N. I love you so much that I haven't stopped thinking about you for the past 2 weeks. It's been hell for me without you in my arms. I'm an idiot Pogue. But I'm an idiot Pogue in love with a beautiful, sweet Kook girl."

John B legit ranted the life out of him. All you could do was look at him.

"You won't hurt me again?" You asked shyly. Your sparkly Y/E/C eyes locking with his gorgeous brown ones.

"Never. Never again." The Pogue boy replied before leaning his head down a little to kiss you.

Well, at least you've now ended up with 6ft something.

[fungusrice]

What are your thoughts on the idea of Stu/Sidney as a couple? Did you know that the actors that played them dated for 3 years in real life?

I'm sure this is something that would possibly trigger those who ship Stu and Billy, but I genuinely don't care about "shipping" or offended people, so I won't have issue sharing down on earth observations, so let's dive into it.

Whether people like it or not, Stu had a thing for women and for the female body. It is more than obvious, as we've received a lot of proofs -not just subtle hints- that he has been consuming girls, and had a very high sex-drive which he even joked about. Do we remember how he wanted to see breasts, and how it has been a returning subject? How proud he was when he said he was with Tatum last night? Or when Randy said that having sex is a big no-no in a horror movie, and Stu literally said that "then he'd be a dead man" with this expression?

Yes, this guy loves sex, and loves fucking women.

Now, about him and Sidney, this is not something I've been exploring that deep yet, however, I'd definitely want to dive deeper into this, because I think he might have been telling the truth and then we can try to figure out what Stu ways of "love" truly means.

You could see him making constantly mocking Randy whenever he tried to approach Sidney or talked about his chances, almost as if he'd try to disencourage him from even trying. He also called Sidney "baby" a couple of times (if my memory serves, but I'll double check those scenes that I certainly remember him addressing her in a sweet way). Of course, he is a highly energetic, very "clingy" person who is all about over exaggerated self-expression to get some attention -an another sad sign of how neglected and looked over he has been-, so it could mean anything.

However, let's be real, Stu was emotionally very unstable, and the lack of genuine love and attention he received (or should I straight up say he did NOT receive) definitely made him have a troublesome way of understanding relationships and "love" or "bonding".

It makes me feel like he used sex and invading others space as a form of "connection", because that was the only way he could "express himself", which was not much. Through the body.

Script time

In a script, Sidney actually asked Tatum about sex with Stu, to which she responded the following:

Sid pushes the cart out of the glass door with Tatum riding it. The GHOST MASKED FIGURE is nowhere to be found. Sidney: What do you think about when you're having sex? Tatum: With Stu, there's little time to stop and reflect. But sometimes before, to relax and get in the mood, I think about Grant Goodeve.

What could this indicate?

"There's little time to stop and reflect" This might hint that sex with Stu is intense, impulsive and rather physical than emotional. It's possibly fast-paced, perhaps even a bit wild. He likely jumps right into things with high energy (which'd be very fitting for Stu’s personality) without much cuddly foreplay or slow build-up, which Tatum has been missing.

But remember, Stu likely did not love Tatum.

There are multiple reasons why he possibly started to date her right after he got dumped (which he lied about to his friends and Tatum, acting as if he was the one dumping Casey, possibly to preserve himself from taunts and the humiliation that comes from getting replaced by someone "better"). Dating Tatum helped him get closer to Sidney.

idk it sounds reasonable to me for a teenager to run away bc they didn't want to eat their veggies!

one hopes that by the later stages of childhood a parent will have figured out which veggies and preparation styles work for the kid, and the kid will have resigned themself to what they do and don't have to eat according to their parents, and it's all settled into an equilibrium instead of a daily fight. and hopefully as a teen your palette is expanding and you're even willing to eat more veggies then you did as a child.

however, if the kid is extra picky and stubborn, and the parent is extra determined to make sure they eat a good variety (or just eat whatever the parent prepared no matter what it is), it could absolutely continue to be a regularly-repeated fight. and if something is a continued point of contention throughout childhood then it absolutely makes sense for a teen to go FUCK this, i am nearly an ADULT i am done being told to eat my veggies i am gonna prove my independence and make them realize i don't have to just sit there and let them boss me around!!

like, the childishness of the fight is exactly why a teen would run away about it.

I know you said the steed's a flamingo-ISH thing, but the idea of him just having a straight up flamingo's funny

YEAH That's pretty much how it goes. He shows up riding in on the thing and the first question asked is pretty much Where Did You Get That

And to be fair, it is basically just a straight up flamingo (just with a few extra decorative feathers slapped on in some places bc I like drawing those) And also it's. Very big

Like very, very big

[britneyshakespeare]

i'm very interested what ppl find to be the harder shakespeare plays and which they found to be easier. bc i was googling out of curiosity and i found a sparknotes article (link if you're curious) that ranked ten of the most commonly-read plays on difficulty and it put king lear kinda down low whereas it put julius caesar pretty high because of the politics/complicated conflicts. that kind of baffled me because julius caesar was the first tragedy i read outside of the classroom and i found it very approachable; it's one i often recommend to people trying to get into shakespeare because the plot is already familiar to most ppl and you can just enjoy the poetry and how shakespeare chooses to characterize these figures. on the other hand i read king lear a few years later in my shakespeare journey, and to be honest i still kind of have a hard time with lear. maybe i just don't connect with it on some level; i'm not sure. it's not a very tightly-organized play where the action is as centered as in the other tragedies like hamlet or macbeth. that's certainly a me thing and maybe that'll change with age. but i'm always a little surprised when i find someone's experience with the plays so much different than mine.

anyway if you're reading this feel free to reblog and tag or comment which shakespeare plays you found yourself falling into most naturally and which worlds you felt like you had to force yourself into. i'm interested in what ppl feel on this subject

Dysprosium, Mary Soon Lee

dysprosium, AN 66, is a silvery-white rare earth metal. its name is derived from the greek dysprositos, meaning “hard to get at”, owing to the difficulty in separating and isolating this rare earth element. dysprosium is used to measure neutron flux, to fuel reactors, and to activate phosphors. terfenol-d is a magnetorestrictive alloy, meaning that it changes shape when a magnetic field is applied, and is used to manufacture underwater acoustic systems.

The huge irony in The Little Mermaid (1989) essentially being about a teenage girl who desired to be understood by those around her, so she went to a drastically different society in order to achieve that, and it's one of the most misunderstood movies that Disney has ever released. Disney Princess movies already get a bad rap, but this movie, in particular, gets the worst of it. It's truly amazing.
