Did Michael Jackson defy gravity, or was it due to the shoes? 🕺👞
Archives Specialist Netisha Currie shares the shoe patent invented by Michael Jackson to create an anti-gravity illusion.
The shoes enabled Jackson to execute one of his signature dance moves, allowing him to lean forward to an exaggerated angle while performing the song "Smooth Criminal" on stage.
The patent is digitized and available in the National Archives Catalog.

The Complete History of Computational Physics
1950s Scientists:
"Gentlemen! In our quest to conquer God we want to simulate the atom! But to do it we'd need a computer capable of per-forming in excess of six calculations per second!"
"Impossible! The heat out-put alone would melt the Earth."
"What if we bombarded the computer laboratory with a steady plume of some thermally super-conductive yet safe gas, like a brominated asbestos aerosol?"
"How would we de-liver it to the machinery?"
"We could use super-magnets, nay, hyper-magnets of pure plutonium arsenide, activated by exposed 500 mega-volt leads right next to the intern's desk."
"Extraordinary, Bob! But where would get an intern?"
"You there, shoe shine boy! How would you like to earn 5 cents a year???"
"Golly gee, sir, would I ever!"
"Dick, put in another government grant re-quest for an additional 100 tons of plutonium. Dave, get down to the soda fountain and pick up a couple bricks of arsenic and one of those ice-cream novelties I like."
"Already on it!"
2010s Scientists:
"All right people, our grants are up next year and we need something to show for it."
"What don't we try to simulate an atom?"
"Didn't this laboratory already try something like that in the '50s?"
"Yeah, our predecessors spent a couple decades on it, but they failed. All they managed to do was create a Superfund site and build some kind of anti-gravity superweapon that nobody knows how to operate anymore."
"But! They didn't have the necessary processing power. We have supercomputers now! So let's get to simulating."
"Actually, we probably still don't have enough computing power for it."
"What?!"
"Yeah, um, atoms are tricky, especially the big ones past atomic number, oh, 2 or so."
"Well, can we maybe write a paper about how they're tricky?"
"I bet we could! We could even get our remote German postgraduate intern with the weird hair to make a really nice animation for the PowerPoint presentation."
"Brilliant!"

Haso: Skateboards and other means of transport
Ek'Gaar couldn't help but stare at young humans enjoying the warm weather. He sat on a bench dressed in his clever dusguise consisting of a trenchcoat and a piece of paper with information on it, and holes for his six eyes. (A disguise like this would make him inconspicuous according to various sources such as enchanted forest of Holly Wood, or the net of inter, whatever that may be)
The kids were moving at high velocities by attaching wheels to their legs in many different ways.
For example the bicycle. A weird metal contraption with moving bits and pieces equipped with a tiniest but at the same time most annoyingly sounding trinket. Some of the kids had ribbons or baskets attached to their bikes as well. Who even came up with it... Had he attempted to ride that monstrocity his tentacles would definitely get stuck between some of the gears.
Another uncanny invention were rolkerskates. Those were even crazier. Who in their right mind would even think of adding wheels to the sole of their shoes... How in the galaxy did it pass any safety tests? And apparently you can have different variations? Wheels in a line, in two lines, with hidden wheel or with a knife... No thank you...
But the most impressive contraption and the one that reigned over the skatepark was The Skateboard. That was something else.. .
Ek'Gaar only ever needed to see one human do the tricks on that damned thing to completely abandon any hope of using that project to create some kind of anti-human weaponry/wehicle. Throckmorton the Skateboarder they called him. That man was what finally broke the alien as he seemingly defied gravity attempting flashy and risky stunts. No thank you, He'd rather keep all his appendages...
Earth is off limits for anybody with even an ounce of common sense, those things should not be tampered with and are clearly unstable...

The Punks meet Sunflowers! 2
(Part 1)
Three Miles stood in front of the punks, Miles 1016 chuckles: Come on, boys. Your mouths are hanging a bit too low.
Gwen looks at the three Miles variant: Oh wow, you're a girl. -seeing one Miles being a woman.
Miles variant giggles: Yup, well... I'm actually trans. trangirlie! I'm still working on a name for myself, so I still go by Miles. -She smiles at the group- I'm Miles Morales from Earth 1015! -She had on a Magenta and black Spider-woman suit, wearing long braids with pink tips at the end, and have big doe like honey eyes.-
The other variant said: I'm Miles from Earth 43! I'm a transman! -The other Miles stood being the same height as Miles 42, with green eyes and thick box braids hair. His Spider-man suit is more edgy with black and blue with cargo pants, thick shoes, and black sweater over his spider-man suit.-
Gwen gawks: Wow! You guys look freakin' cool! -She saw Miles 43 wearing some space lookin' shoes-
Miles 42: I was checking those shoes out too! They look mad dope!
Miles 43 smirks: These are my anti-gravity kicks! Makes me float in the air -He jumps showing off his kicks- I made them from a special metal called Vibranium.
The group: Whoa, that's so cool!
Miles 1016 looks over at the third Miles: Hey, man. You been quiet. That's pretty weird of you.
Hobie 138b notice the third Miles, who is dressed in all black, with piercings and had a tattoo of sunflowers showing on his neck: Darling, is that a Punk Miles? -The other Punks looks over noticing the other Miles-
Miles variant scowls: Excuse you, man. I don't like labels! I am, ME!
Miles 1016: Technically.... he hates labels. So you don-
Punk Miles: I'm Miles Morales from Earth 1019, I fucking hate the system, the government fucking fascist assholes. I believe in Black Lives Matter, Gay Rights, Fuck the pigs and Free Congo, Free Palestine, Free Yemen, Free all the oppressed countries from greedy hungry pencil dicks white men!
Hobie 138b being awestruck until his boyfriend nudge him in the rib getting jealous: Hobie!
Hobie 138b: Huh, what? No, it's just... -he looks at his Sunflower- Sunflower, please get a tongue piercing.
Miles 1016: Pfft!
Hobie 138e already looming over at Punk Miles: You know, I bashed a DICK-tator's head once... -his voice deep-
Miles 1019 smirks being interested in him: You did? Mmm, I actually blow up the NYPD!
The Punks seem to spread to their Miles, being already interested in them. Hobie 138c flock to Miles 43 and Hobie 138d went with Miles 1015. Gwen saw how bashful the Punks acted around their Miles, which is cute and funny. Seeing cool tough punkers being all shy, casually trying to flirt while their Miles are so sweet, and naive.
Hobie 138d to Miles 1015: So in your world... what do you do for fun?
Miles 1015 smiles brightly at him: I take care of my baby brother! I go skate with my best friend... um... hmmm, I really really love Pickles! I know a bit weird but it's been my favorite snack to eat while reading manga! -She saw the way he nodded, then he got close to him trying to meet his eye- What about you?
Hobie 138d blushes: Me! Oh, you know, starting Mayhem, breaking shit, fighting off CEOS and their unethical practices!
Miles 1015: Ohh sounds fun!
Miles 42 rolled his eyes: Oh brother...
Gwen laughs: This is so fun to watch.
Miles 43 talking with Hobie 138c: Hahaha, yeah. I beat up a few bad cops recently. They really hate me being around.
Hobie 138c: Really? Need help from an expert. I'm always free. I'll take you out in my world. I know a great place that sells the best fish n' chips!
Miles 43 chuckles: I would like that!
Hobie 138b look at his Miles: Darling, did you just hook them up.
Miles 1016 smiles at him: Maybe... I thought The Punks would like their own Sunflower. Besides, I see the way you always held back, my poor baby. -He got his boyfriends face to make him lean over so he can kiss him on the cheek!-
Miles 42 grunts: Gross.
Gwen: Awe, that's cute. You gotta admit, Miles.
Miles 42: Say where's Mariana?
The Hobies left their head up: Who?
A Spider-woman in pastel blue and pink: Hey guys, sorry I'm late and- Whoa so many Spider-punk! -She took off her mask revealing to be woman but with Miles' features. Her long hair tied into two thick long braids-
Miles 1016: This is Mariana! She's the female version of me or I'm the male version of her...
Mariana giggles: Right! Variants is so confusing, because who's is who in the multiverses! -She saw how Spider Punks were close to their Miles- Looks like I missed the match making. Shame, I thought I was gonna get a Spider Punk -she jokes-
Miles 42: I know a Ganke that's single!
Miles 1016: You really want a variant of us dating a Ganke huh?
Miles 1015: Well there was a few Miles that were... you know multi-verses. It never ends!
Mariana nodded: Oh for sure! -then turns to Miles 42- I'm fine just teasing. I'm not into dating.
Miles 43: There's another cute punker walking around.
Hobie 138b: As long as he stay away from my Sunflower. -he pulls Miles close to him-
Miles 1016: Bae, chill. I'm not going anywhere.
Mariana giggles: So this is your famous bf! He loves you too much! -She turns to Gwen- I've seen the male variant of you. Are you a flirt like him?
Gwen: Oh nonono. I'm not.
Miles 42: Wait, Mariana? -Looking at Miles 1015- Why not names yourself that?
Miles 1015: Me as Mariana? Hmmm... I was thinking of Mila.
Miles 43: Mila? -He did not like that name-
Miles 1019: Ew, sounds too fanfic to me. It's like okay we get it, your boy name is Miles and girl went to Mila!
Miles 1015: When you put it like that... it is fucking weird. huh?
Hobie 138d hugs protectively at his Miles: Shh, darling. Don't listen to them! They are just jealous at your beautiful name!
Miles 1015 giggles: Thanks, Hobie! Maybe Marina? Still thinking about it.
Mariana: Marina is a cute name.
Miles 1016: What about Star? You mention you wanted something with piz-zazzs!
Miles 43: My birth name was Mariana and changed it to Miles, because my dad would've name me, Miles.
Miles 1015: I want a name that's me! Star would be cute but sounds a bit too common too. -She sighs- I'll wait and see.
Hobie 138e: Patience is a skill. Name whatever your comfortable with.
Mariana nodded: Yeah! It will come.
Gwen asked Miles 1016: So are they all like you? Like doing their own thing?
Miles 1016: Umm, not really. 43 and 1019 lost their dad from being shot by a dirty cop. Mariana's and Miles 1015's parents are alive but they lost their friend. I think Mari's was Ganke and 1015 was her Peter Parker... I think.
Gwen: Oh wow.
Miles 42: Mariana' and Miles 1015 have younger sibling too.
Miles 1016: Yeah, it's crazy how multi-verses work. -They watch the Miles and Hobies interacting. Mariana happily taking with them being so bright and bubbly. Then Miles 1016 felt a tap on his shoulder, he looks over to find Punk Miguel!- Oh hey, Miguel!
Punk Miguel, from Earth 970 and younger version of Miguel 2099. He's much nicer and mostly speak Spanish, since he grew and live in Mexico. In his world, Mexico won the American-Spanish War, so states like California didn't exist, but remain part of Mexico. USA Is a small country that leader was taken over by Mexico: Compa, qué le parece esa morra? -His Auburn red eyes on Mariana- Hmm?
Hobie 138b looks at the lad: Oi, I'm watching you.
Miles 1016 said: That's Mariana. Go talk to her.
Miguel 970 shyly didn't want to speak to her by himself: Amigo, please... help me? -having a thick Mexican accent-
Miles 1016 chuckles: Alright. -He turns to Mariana- Hey, Mari. I want you to meet someone.
Mariana head to them after excusing herself with the her variants and the Punks: What's up? -then noticed a tall big guy in front of her- Oh wow, man! You are huge! I feel so small! -she's six foot, too.-
Miguel 970 blushes being shy. Miles chuckles: He wants to meet you but he's shy.
Mariana: Oh I don't bite, unless you want me too! -she jokes and saw Miguel 970 with sharp fangs- Ohh, but I bet you bite! -She got a good look at him, dark hair, piercings and red eyes with fangs! He's like a sexy vampire!-
Miguel 970: I... I don't speak.... English too good...
Mariana: Oh, puedo hablar español! Yo soy Mariana! -she stuck her hand out.
Miguel 970's eyes lit up: Hola, Mariana! Soy Miguel. Es un placer conocerte.
Mariana giggles: So proper.
Miles 1016 laughs too: Yeah, give a Punk a Miles and they suddenly become a gentlemen. -He saw all the other Punks being super nice and well-mannered with his other variants.-
Miles 42 was eyeing Miguel 970: He's low-key fine. Why not him?
Hobie 138b: Oi, back off, mate. Sunflower is mine. I'll never let him go.
Miles 42: Ugh, fine. Whatever, man.
Gwen: I love match making. Too bad, Pav isn't here. He would've fangirl and be doing a whole love show.
Miles 1016: He really did miss out, huh? -His eyes one Miguel 970 happily talking with Mariana-
Hobie 138b: Ain't it a bit weird for a Miguel to date a version of you?
Miles: Not really. She's her own person... just because their a variant of me, doesn't mean they are me, you know?
Hobie: And that's why I love you, Sunflower. -He picks up his partner to kiss him-
Miles: I love you, too, baby!

Rise! Donatello x Smart/Nerd! Female! Reader || Part 2 || First Hang Out
Tumblr media
Y/N’s POV:
I could not focus in school for the past day! My mind was on that night. The night I met him, Donnie. I kept looking at our texts from last night through out the day.
Tumblr media
*sigh* Could time go by any faster?! My friend April snapped twice in my face. “GIRL!! What is up with you, you’ve been acting weird ever since yesterday. What happened…?”
I gave her that look that said ‘do I really have to tell you?’. “Yes, you have to tell me!” I have in after she used her ‘magic powers’. “Alright fine. So I met…Someone, well it-was a boy..” She gasped and yelled “A boy??!!?” I covered her mouth, and the whole class was looking at us!! Then went back to do their own thing.
^RIINNNGGG^ I got up from my seat quickly and practically ran out the door! I started walking home. With headphones on blast listening to Odetari. (or your favorite artist) I unlocked the door with my house key, and I soon as I open the door to my apartment-oop what. A surprise. (I said without a hint of sarcasm)
They were fighting—again went immediately into my room. I got my laptop and put on a show I liked so time would pass by quickly. My alarm went off at 7:55 so I could get ready. What I mean by getting ready is putting on my favorite hoodie with some leggings/jeans/skirt that matched.
I went to the rooftop that we agreed to meet at. He got there like 10s after me. “Hi Donnie, how are you?” I asked “I’m doing okay, kinda had a rough day yesterday.” He said “Why was that?” “Oh because we had to deal with some guys with feet on their faces. Yea i don’t know why either but they stole a bunch of paper.” I have a confused look he just said he will explain later.
We started to just get to know each other better. Apparently we are both into Tech/Coding/ inventing. Donnie showed me his battle shell which I thought was really cool. I told him I had some tech-y shoes. They were in my favorite color(s) they were able to keep small tools in them, and the shoes had anti-gravity so I could walk on walls.
He seemed very interested to n my inventions. The only person who really listened to me talk/show about my inventions was my mom. Donnie also told me about his brothers, they are very different from them. Rapheal their leader went In without plans, Michelangelo was prone to getting hurt, and his ‘Twin’ Leo always made jokes(and/or) puns during battles/fights/ missions!
Me and Donnie also had some good laughs. HE LAUGHED AT MY SCIENCE JOKES!! I said “Why did two red blood cells break up?” He tilted his head “Why?” “Because their relationship was in vein!” He said it was cheesy, and yeah it was, but he still chuckled at it.
Eventually we both went home. I entered through my window because I didn’t want to get caught by my Dad. My mom already knows I sneak out. She even said ‘can I even blame you, like I mean me and your dad fight all the time it’s fine by me just text me when you do ,okay?’ So technically it isn’t even sneaking out…!
DONNIE’S POV:
I never knew I would have some much in common with someone. Like she’s smart, good at coding, cooking/baking (she mentioned that) actually listens about my interests when I’m working in ‘Speech mode’ as Leo calls it. Y/n is also beautiful-wait what! Donatello Hamato get ahold of your self you just met her a day ago!
I wish I could have talked longer with her, but good things don’t always last forever. I didn’t even realize I was already at my lab until I stoped at the door. I could barely focus on work! Maybe I could try and go to sleep. I set my alarm for the morning.
I could feel my eyelids getting heavy. I lied down letting my body relax. Maybe we could become better friends. It’s a possibility. Maybe, just maybe…

It would be nice to lay down (maybe on Saeyoung's side of the bed) while wearing his jacket, then hug a pillow while thinking of good things and only good things right now
Saeyoung is guilty when it comes to poor sleeping habits. He spends a lot of time out of bed when he should be in it. That's a part of what you contend with daily as he learns how to cohabitate. He's not used to being around someone like this... his first taste was when you were in the apartment together, and then on the run... he didn't have time to adopt better ways to take care of himself.
He had your arm on his shoulders reminding him when to stop and breathe.
Of course, it's not your job to baby him like that. He knows how to take care of himself even though he's still a work in progress. That's what Vanderwood would say is the "nice way" of describing him as a person. Old habits die hard, and when he can't sleep, he likes to keep his hands as busy as humanly possible. That means going to his desk to tinker with whatever concept he wrote on paper at 3AM.
To his credit, he always amazes you. You just wish he would get some more sleep... or at least, lay in bed until his brain carries him away to somewhere more comfortable than his desk. But, as many gripes as you might have with that, being with Saeyoung is perfect. You love to be with him as much as you can, and he loves to be with you as much as he can manage when he's not piecing together his next job.
Life is better than it ever was.
That's what he told you when you bickered with him over the meal he made earlier that day. He loved being able to have a normal moment where he felt like an average man. You, scolding him because he had to eat more greens, and him, laughing because you always make the cutest face when you're annoyed. Those moments are what he could only dream of before he met you.
The fact that you could give him that...
Well, you certainly forgot about being annoyed with him when his cheesy grin stole your heart for the seventh time.
With a dreamy sigh, you rolled over in your shared bed, relishing in the faint smell of cinnamon and honey that never left his jacket. It was yours until the scent faded, of course. He might've been trying another scheme to add parts to Meowy in the other room, but you didn't miss him.
He was right there with you whether you saw him or not. That was the beauty of your love. Together or apart, your heart remained just as connected as the constellations in the sky.
Even if he was only one wall away, he knew you were awake. "...Hey, honey, do you think Meowy needs Moon Shoes?"
"The commercial said 'Kid-Powered Anti-Gravity Shoes', Saeyoung. Not 'Cat-Powered Anti-Gravity Boots'."
"You're right! I'm so dumb! There's a better option and it's been right in front of me this entire time! Meowy needs Rocket Launchers to speed around!"
"...Just don't wake up Saeran in the other room before you come to bed, okay?"

Into, Across and Beyond! Scripting: MtOU Ending Scene
Tumblr media
After the whole ordeal in More than One Universe and My Last Trauma, OMT!Tails landed by a street looking over the city, watching out over it.
"Okay. Let's do this one last time. For real, though. This is it! My name is Tails. I was given the mantle of the hero of Mobius by my best buddy, Sonic, and I've been protecting my home for about a year and a bit. I think you know the rest."
Tumblr media
"I met a whole bunch of interdimensional friends, I cured beings with their own problems, got caught in a lot of trouble, did some singing with my girlfriend, Mina, graduated for science class with her, Cream and Max…"
"Likewise, I finished my essay in full, saved some more people, got hit by some drones, did a custom mural for Sonic and Sally with Knuckles and Amy, fully bonded with my roommate, Danny... and I even slapped a sticker at a place the SIGU are never gonna find it, haha!"
Tumblr media
"And when I feel alone, like nobody understands me, I remember my friends, near AND far, who get it."
A montage is shown of the other multiversal characters back at their homes;
Mini Sonic (and his Tails) admiring the Rubik's Cube together,
Mr. NM eating a chilli dog while on the move (this time with no villain to interrupt),
EX!Alice working on some new tech with her new Chao companion,
Nitro admiring a photo he took of his friends,
D-Sides Mighty and Hefty looking out over the view of their world,
Black Knight Amy enjoying tea with Merlina,
CU!Sonic and CU!Sonia playing together,
CR!Sonic reuniting with his kids in his Super form,
Nine reminiscing on the community he made in the Blur Gang,
Antho looking out over his home (whilst using anti-gravity shoes to stick to a ledged ceiling),
Ex-Prince Brian doing some writing to pass the time,
Devy preparing his engagement ring for his Vanilla with Smol Devy by his side,
MFF!Sonic hanging with the cured/redeemed Sonath on a beach,
Hog looking out over the city himself with a smile,
and finally Wacky looking back at the closing portal, eager to go back to the adventures again.
Tumblr media
"I never thought I'd be able to do any of this stuff. But I can! Anyone can wear the shoes of a hero! YOU could wear those shoes, too. If you didn't know that before, I hope you do now. 'Cause I'm Miles 'Tails' Prower! And I'm not the only hero out there, not by a long shot!"
Tumblr media
"And if I need help from any friends I made during my last mission, I can easily go between dimensions now, or it could even work to interact with them more and enjoy time with them as people. It's all at the tip of my fingers."
"For now, though..."
Tumblr media
"It's time to go save the world once more!"
And so, Tails leapt forth, fully at peace with himself and truly ready to be the hero his world needed.
At another ledge with OMT!Mina...
"As for me... I've never been able to find the right band... So I started my own!"
She looked forward with the Blur Gang next to her.
"With a few friends I made along the way!"
She looked to the screen as she prepared to take the leap.
"You want in?"
Finally, after one more exciting day, OMT!Tails returned to his school dorm, just as a portal opened with a familiar silhouette on the other side.
MV!Tails: Hey, young me! You got a minute or two?

saying that adults can't find any analytical value in children's television is probably one of the worst things to come out of the anti anti-intellectualism movement. I understand the argument that only consuming content for children doesn't allow you to analyze something on a deeper level, but I don't believe that's true.
children's television covers a very wide range of content, each with different goals and each made for different age groups. it's hard to say that ALL of it is not analyzable because it's a broad label. but even when you get into the specifics, the claim doesn't stand. preschoolers television is made to be simple, which is where I think people believe that it's not analyzable. maybe it isn't story wise, but it IS analyzable on a deeper level. you could analyze what teaching methods are used, the colors, animation, the specific lessons taught, use of models and real world examples, songs, etc. a lot of work goes into making preschool television as educational as possible. if you want an easy example, look into sesame street. there's plenty to analyze there.
children's television for older kids usually has more to analyze when it comes to their stories. shows like my little pony and gravity falls, for example have their own universes to follow and look into. both shows display different relationships: friendships, family, mentor and student, etc. relationship analysis is possible, as is individual character analysis. you could analyze the setting the characters are in, what they wear, literally anything you could analyze in shows for adults, and these are only two examples of the many shows out there for children. the relationships may not be romantic or as complex in comparison to shows for adults, but it's not as if they can't be analyzed at all.
to be completely fair, I think the reason why this argument comes up is because of shows like spongebob, icarly, etc that are generally more over-the-top and stupid. not to say that these shows aren't good; spongebob is popular for a reason. however I do understand why these shoes can be labeled not analyzable. the issue, though, is that these shows do not represent children's television as a whole. they're there for fun, and there's nothing wrong with watching something just for fun anyway.
basically, children's television covers a wide range of content, and to act as if all of it is not analyzable is quite silly and reductive. there's plenty to look at, plenty to dig into. children's television is magical in that way, as all art is. so yeah, watch the kids show. someone put time and effort into it, so enjoy it. who cares. have fun

may we have some inside job headcanons for Ron with a coworker who’s a half-blood vampire? And since they’re a half blood, he didn’t realize for a while until he saw them turn into a bat or walk up a wall, and then they a little crash course on their vampiric traits 🦇
Ron Is So... Babygirl. Underrated Character For Real! I Also Have A Different Definition Of Vampire Than Most, So Be Aware That Mine May Not Align With Your Definition! I Can Add Or Change Things If Needed!
Tumblr media
ᴠᴀᴍᴘʏ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ꜱᴛᴏʀʏ…
✦ Ron is a simple guy when it comes to work. Go in, get the job done, come back. He doesn't really hold much regard to his coworkers, until he met you, that is. ✦ You were just another regular person. Someone he should be able to count on should things go awry. Normally, he doesn't like working with other people, but something about you seemed off. He can't quite figure it out... ✦ But one day he accidentally walks in on you ranting to yourself. He rolls his eyes and is about to walk out to leave, but then he sees you walk up a wall. Defying gravity right before his eyes! Then you walk on the ceiling like you would on the ground. ⤷"How the hell are you doing that?!" "RON!" You stop mid-rant, and glide down, your feet reuniting with the floor below. ✦ Now he's ultimately confused. Do you have anti-gravity shoes or something?? What kind of technology are you using? Were you always able to do that? Why are you able to do that?? ✦ You sit him down to explain. You're what's considered a "half blood," meaning you get the best of both worlds. Whatever questions he has, you answer. ✦ Whether you were born like this, or were bit is completely up to you. You say you can do all sorts of stuff like turn into a bat, levitate a couple of feet off the ground, walk up walls, see clearly in the dark, all the good stuff. Sunlight doesn't really have an effect on you either, but you do sunburn easier than most people. Your nocturnal ability goes in and out, turns out still being human causes you to still get tired. ✦ He's fascinated. But there's one thing he's still confused on. And that's why you decided to hide this from him. He would've loved to work with you more! ✦ And that's the thing. You don't like bringing it up not because it's a touchy subject or anything, but because it usually scare people away. Everyone thinks you're out to get them and their blood, but that's not true. Being half allows you to enjoy human food. And while you can drink blood, you consume stuff like animal blood. ✦ He nods as he takes in your concern. He never thought of it like that. You're out here trying to be friendly and when you show your fangs (metaphorically, unless you did show them) they back away from you. ✦ From now on, he's going to put in so much effort to show his appreciation for you. Some of his gifts are really cheesy. One time, he got you a stuffed bat plush and had the words "Batty for You!" embroidered on one of the wings. You still have it to this day.

G, L, Y, U for the asks!
Thanks!
G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?
Lol, boy, and how! I live and breathe otp’s. My very first otp was probably Seto Kaiba x Serenity Wheeler, from YuGiOh. They were the first fanfic I ever read on fanfiction.net, lol. First otp ship I ever contributed to fandom for was Sesshomaru x Kagome from Inuyasha, where I wrote my very first fics and did fanart.
Though if we want to get really cheeky, I could argue that my very first ship was the knife and the spoon, from cutlery and making them kiss as a tiny kiddo, lol.
L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)
Hmmm, this is weirdly tough for me, not the complimenting part, but because I have a weird metric of how I view characters. Hm, let’s go with… Mizora. I’m overall neutral on her but I appreciate her petty bitch energy. If I were a cambion, I’d like to be as ambitious as Raphael but in reality I’d be like Mizora and I do appreciate a good petty play. It’s the Gemini in me, lol.
U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.
I have many favorites but I’ll go with Harley Quinn from Batman, Grunkle Stan from Gravity Falls, and since brainrot be real, Raphael from BG3.
Harley Quinn has been a favorite character of mine since I was a kid watching Batman the Animated Series. I’ve always been a fan of theatrical aesthetics (circus, theatre, commedia dell’arte, etc) and she’s just such a fun character. I’ve really liked over the years how she’s waffled between villain and anti-hero and how she’s not a perfect victim. Also Harley Quinn x Poison Ivy is a top tier ship.
Grunkle Stan because one of my biggest weaknesses in fiction is a sad morally grey older man but who is also protective of his family. He’s fucked up in his life so many times but he keeps trying. I’m a sucker for that. But also he’s just a great character. He’s made me laugh and cry and honestly that’s just a good criteria for any character. I’ve 100% played the fanmade Grunkle dating simulator and no regrets or shame.
And speaking of morally grey, or in this case, completely terrible older men. Raphael, my beloved. I played BG3 in its EA days and the very first time he appeared I was smitten. His voice obviously but also he had my favorite introduction into the game (and still does). The fact that his devil transformation involved a snazzy belt and different shoes is what really sold him to me. He’s so stupidly extra and it calls to my theatre kid nature, lol. I do miss the EA days of him roasting our camp 5 sec after inviting himself.
All that being said, I just enjoy his character within the game too. I like that he’s obviously a villain but he’s chill with us. In part because he wants something from us but I like that it kinda transforms for him into a double obsession. Obviously, crown comes first but there’s something just so delightfully fun about him writing about our character in his journal (entry number 2 is the stuff ships are made of). That he’s a cringefail theatre kid with daddy issues while being thousands of years old is partly what makes him endearing. I loved finding his fanfiction in his house and I love how stupidly bad his hell domination plan is (you’re doing amazing sweetie).
And one other bonus to liking his character is I got to make new friends and moots in particular in his corner of the fandom. 💖
Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?
Hm, I’d say currently, Helluva Boss, I’ve got a couple friends into that show. It’s certainly on my list of things to eventually sit down and watch but for now I see it through what my friends show me. Looks good though!

J. G. Venables’ Exercising Device, patented on April 19, 1938. 
Record Group 241: Records of the Patent and Trademark Office
Series: Selected Patent Files
File Unit: 5255452 - Method and Means for Creating Anti-Gravity Illusion - Michael Jackson
Image description: Drawing of a device that looks like a thick sole of a shoe that gets strapped to a shod foot. On the underside of the sole there is a large notch. You slip the handle of a barbell into the notch, and secure it by twisting a screw, so you have what looks like a roller skate with only two wheels. It looks unsafe in so many ways. There is also an illustration of a man with this device strapped to one foot, raising that leg out to the side.

i forgot to post this in here >.<
point is…
i drew my boruto faves, deciding to give them a more high-end look to them since for some reason their time skip designs seems to look more like modern outfits compared to the outfits in naruto
HAUNT COUTURE CODE AND SARADA !!!!
- a stylish take to code’s vampiric fashion and a ghastly look for sarada’s haunting beauty
Tumblr media
do not repost !!
it was really fun drawing and designing them !!
under the cut i included the details for each of their outfits in case anyone is curious :3
꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷
Code
- dress shirt - a sheer (see through) dress shirt with one sleeve since he’s always covered up, thought we could have something different for a change
- sleeveless crop top - covering his chest so not everything is shown due to the sheer shirt but cropped so it’s still seen
- tie - tied into a large bow for a more dressy look
- belt - around his torso to replicate a corset [was gonna give him a corset but thought it’d be too similar to Sarada] and ties at the back
- metal chains - herringbone chains hanging off his belt loops. his original triangle earrings are used as charms to decorate
- pants - a unique take to men’s pants by incorporating lace in a pattern of spiderwebs to keep the gothic elements
- shoes - anti gravity (heel-less) dress shoes inspired by his claw marks
- earrings - mismatched earrings. his left earring has a skull hanging to represent his goal in carrying out Isshiki’s will resulting in the worst possible future, his right earring was inspired by the claw-like shape his hands take during battle
- glove - gave him a short glove on his left hand to add an extra accessory
- metal armor with cape - the armor’s chain has a diamond shape to represent his karma. a lot of code’s canon look appears to be heavily inspired by Dracula so i took it for a more modern take. the armor has a shape inspired by a bat’s wings. it wraps around his back and covers the left side of his chest to protect the heart (vampire’s are killed with a stake through the heart). a cape was added since Dracula is depicted with one and for a more regal appearance as Isshiki’s heir, giving the impression of being the “Kara Prince”
Sarada
- dress - long sheer dress to replicate a ghastly appearance
- bodysuit - worn under her dress to preserve her modesty
- corset - added to accessorize and accentuate her slim waist
- cape - a sheer cape with laced trimming. the lace pattern replicates the Sharingan. as the Uchiha Princess, it was added to give her a more princess-y look and feel
- choker with chain necklace - a choker to keep an element of her original time skip design and the herringbone chains that go down her are done in a way to replicate a skeleton’s torso
- garter - a thorn garter to hold her kunai knife. in the shape of thorns to keep the spooky factor
- shoes - heeled boots with skull platforms. a skeletal forearm and hand act as the heel. the Uchiha Clan are dead, so this is done to show that. has chains for decor and hanging off each are her original earrings from her time skip design
- earrings - heart shaped spiderwebbed earrings since Uchihas are the clan who treasure love the most
- handbag - in the shape of a tombstone with the Uchiha crest on it to pay homage to the Uchiha Clan Massacre
- headpiece - is around her head and veil hangs over her face in place of her glasses. Sarada is often seen accessorized with a camellia flower, so it was included to add a touch of cuteness to her gothic look

Grief as a Love Language
transcript under the cut
Here's you before the world ever hurt you. Look at you go!
Look at the ground rising up to meet you.
Look at all the venom and danger and pain out there arching
away from you like the dog from the whip. Look at you
not believing the sky could fall on you for no reason,
and not yet knowing how to push it back up.
Chin up, kid.
You'll learn.
I keep little biographies of people I know. Like: “Here's another vessel for sadness.
    Doing what she can. Doing her best.
    Nothing is more beautiful.”
I don't know what makes her happy at all – but the butterfly
may soar, whether I know its wingspan or not.
Sometimes I wonder if the glacier ever told anyone
where all his friends went. I wonder if he lied.
And sometimes I wonder if those two ever got married in the end,
or if the other shoe ever dropped. I hope it didn't.
    I hope for anti-gravity.
    I hope for a way for us to fling things into the air
    and never cover our heads. Maybe we can do it
just as long as
we don't look up.
Anyway: biographies, done before their time,
shelved somewhere I can haunt, unsure which of us is gone.
And running my fingers over the spines, I remember
bedroom floors and a bottle of rum to share, I remember
how I tried to hide the shaking and they felt it anyway, I remember
someone crying in my arms and the feeling
of existing tangibly only if someone would miss me when I was gone, and
I grieve, like the wolf grieves for the sun at dusk,
because the morning is never promised.
I grieve, because the venom is bitten in deep,
and it must come out. It must.
“Sometimes things go away, and they don't come back.”
“Not this though. Not this though.”
Chin up, kid.
We're all still here,
living with our dead.
