#Behind the counter

I'm already getting the feeling that he's somehow gonna be even sillier this year 🤔

#I AM SO HOPELESSLY ENDEARED TO HIM #LOOK AT THIS SILLY GUY #the behind the scenes of the microwave tiktok im gonna cry #jimmy feels like his handler in this vid 😭 #'theres Fernando doing his um tiktok' hahahaha #but omg its only january and he already feels deranged #the fucking sitting on the counter clip i am actually dead #fernando alonso #formula 1 #f1 #we do a little bit of f1

Papercraft Ed! I had the sketch for this one finished a while ago, but for whatever reason didn’t feel quite happy with it. Eventually I tried flipping it to face the opposite way - meaning his automail arm was now facing the viewer and could be shown via rips in his clothes and gloves - and then BAM, I liked how it looked after all! Sometimes it’s the simplest things that make all the difference.

You know it’s not going to be trash first of all! It was something like David giving Patrick all the stereotypical young person sneaky BJs he missed out on. That’s why his place of employment and the hot tub at his parents house were among them. And I think the movies?

OH yeah ok it’s coming back to me now. Also ily but. don’t be so sure 🥴

#lately I have not been happy with any of my writing I think it’s just a disease I have #asks #anonymous #slonk anon #anyway. ok. now I’m stuck AGAIN because part 1 was the stock room and now I feel like I can’t also do #behind the counter #bc then that’s two at the store #i need more variety

after some experimentation, i've found that "clean-shaven and hair hidden under a beanie" gets me gendered as male way more reliably than "hair loose, full moustache". no idea why long hair provokes such a strong "that's a girl" reaction, but there we go.

#other observations: binding doesn't affect it one way or another (likely because i wear a lot of baggy layers) #makeup also doesn't make a difference and nor do earrings #i get he himmed when i'm wearing platforms and standing behind the counter because people think i'm taller than i am #so height is obviously a big factor. but i can't do much about that lol #voice is highly variable and can go either way #oh! and long coats for some reason tend to be perceived as Girly (again: no idea why) #wild! #be shh now

Kingdom Hearts - Traverse Town Hotel

#kingdom hearts #kh1 #traverse town #scenery #my gif #the pamphlets at the front counter say the hotel is holding a multicultural art exhibit #which is why each room looks so uniquely designed #the red and green rooms are very detailed and fun to look at which always made me sad that the other doors were locked #was anyone else so curious about what the ocean themed room would have looked like? i wanted to go in there so bad #it would also be cool to see what was through the door behind the front counter since the manager speaks from behind the curtain

i love hermits who are always moving around when they talk but its really funny to imagine in-universe. that its just super normal to like, jump up on tables mid conversation and nobody blinks an eye

#shush slinky #beef who's standing pretty still behind the counter of his shop vs. the giant cyborg creeper hopping up on it a meter from his face #doc gives the vibes of one of those dogs who doesnt know its size at ALL and will try to climb on you #honestly i do this irl. i will scale any surface in sight whilst talking

I won't make any grand, sweeping statements about it, but I do think taking public transit has and continues to make me a better person than I would be otherwise.

#on the bus today a gentleman in front of me gave up his seat so an elderly couple could sit together #the bus driver said ''oh!'' in a decidedly surprised and pleased way when I thanked him for the ride #at one of the stores I stopped in the woman behind the counter almost slipped in some snowmelt #and I was one of three people reaching for her; trying to catch her #I just think it's very easy to get lost in your head; I live alone I work remotely most of the time #it's important sometimes to be reminded that people move through the world gently and well. #celestial emporium of benevolent knowledge

the things rizz does to a man's sense of humor

#howdy has heard that joke five times already #theres no hope for him #my new favorite Thought #is barnaby & howdy doing their thing yk flirting at the counter #while a line steadily forms behind barnaby #the entire town is In The Store waiting & listening to barnabys terrible jokes for an hour straight #while howdy just laughs along and swings his legs like the lovestruck fool he is #one day barnaby comes up to the store and theres a 'no dogs allowed' sign #made by sally & put up via (almost) unanimous vote held by the neighborhood #barnaby was not included in the vote. howdy was the single nay. everyone else enthusiastically voted yay #LaughingStock #scribble salad #welcome home #welcome home puppet show #welcome home fanart

The dog bed and children books in professor's lab seem to suggest that Arven probably spent lots of time in the lab when he was small. From the journals in the research labs we learnt that the professor only started working underground when their research reached certain progress. They even took the picture of young Arven from lab down with them to Area Zero and pinned it in one of the most obvious spot.

Anyway what i am trying to say is the professor definitely loved Arven a lot but Arven was too young to remember the time he spent with his parent and now I feel even more sad for him 😭

#Pokemon #Pokemon scarlet and violet #Arven #Pokemon spoilers #Pokemon scarlet and violet spoilers #Although there is a part that when we inspect the kitchen counter top #It says that it has sign of being recently used #Although everything around is all dusty and old and not functioning #Is that just that Arven still goes in there sometimes? #Or does it have other story behind it? #The journal also stated that one of the parents walk out after arven was born #Does it have anything to do with them? #Ahhh I need answer

I’m rereading Po3 and despite its flaws I really enjoyed the introduction to the three. Jaykit isn’t mentioned to be blind in the first few chapters and instead they chose to show how much MORE capable he is compared to his littermates; until at the end of chapter 3, he brings up his blindness on his own. It makes forcing him to be a medicine cat SO much more frustrating because it really feels like they’re setting him up to be a warrior and choose his own fate (note i haven’t finished the reread this is just my first impression)

I like how you seem to take that path in BB regardless! It makes his arc so much more enjoyable

His arc in canon is super frustrating because he's such an independent character who clearly wants to make his own decisions in life, but then he just gets shoved into the medcat den. I LIKE that he ultimately goes there and that he enjoys it; but it was still really fucked up that they stripped away his autonomy in the process.

Re: they are not real, they are writing choices. Taking away the choices a disabled character can make over their own life, forcing them into a celibate nun role, and then going "awwwww dont worry see? he likes it! This was the best thing for him :)" was fucked up.

And imo it didn't have to be that way! You wouldn't have to go the FULL route I did with big changes, he could just be more involved in the descision to stop being a warrior apprentice and it would be fine. Minor change that would make a world of difference.

I do also have to interject to say though... blindness should really not be an extremely severe impairment for a ThunderClan cat.

I'm dead serious.

Whiskers are built-in sensors that tell you the exact position of everything within several inches of your head, ears swerve to pick up sound, and the jacobson's organ provides a sense of smell so keen that I have an entire Clanmew expansion draft because I needed to make WORDS describing the power of this sense that humans do not have. I cannot stress enough how delicate their other senses are, felines do not rely on their sight like primates do

ThunderClan lives in a mixed-oak woodland, where sight is already often obscured by foliage, objects are close together (for whiskers to feel), and nearly every movement makes noise against the leaf litter. RiverClan and (moor-running) WindClan cats would have a harder time with this disability than Thunder or Shadow.

Cat sight SUCKS to begin with. It sucks BADDD. They don't have color vision, they're significantly nearsighted, and they can't track up-and-down movements well. WC doesn't write realistic cats (more like small fuzzy people really) and I also work with more humanesque eyesight, but the only thing Jay should really lose is an ability to rapidly track a small animal swerving fast. Blind cats are often still excellent hunters in spite of that!

So it's an extra big waste that they railroaded him into a position he didn't choose, saying he couldn't be a warrior. This is the perfect disability to write, if you want to explore how ableism can impact the characters in this society who ARE legitimately still capable of nearly full independence, but still need to find accommodations for what they can't do.

In the same arc they're doing the dumb Cinder Reincarnation Plotline, no less!! Where SHE is also feeling like she has no choice over her "destiny," and gets a conflict over a potentially disabling injury

"Oh nooo if cinderpaw breaks her leg she wont be a warrior!"

"What the f-- Im Jaypaw and im reporting live from the scene where a Category 1 Idiot Moment is taking place. Woman breaks leg, suddenly everyone believes she is a horse, more at 11."

One of these days I should really make "herb guides" just covering how various sensory disabilities impact the lives of Clan cats and some tips for writing them as warriors, especially between Clans. Stuff you wouldn't usually consider, like how much noise deaf cats tend to make, how RiverClan would get a ton of sinus infections and lose their sense of smell, being blind in Sky vs Thunder, etc.

#I once saw someone say offhandedly 'well what if someone snuck up on jay from behind and attacked him. No whiskers there' #NEWSFLASH! YOU ALSO DONT HAVE EYES IN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD #He doesn't have short whiskers either they're normally sized #Something like 4 - 5 inches on a cat like him. About double the size of the head foward and sideways #Once you're talking about close combat like the cats usually do there's no way that you can stay back far enough to avoid them #I want to rewrite owl and jay's fight or make a rematch where jay realizes owl is being a coward #Hanging just out of his range and jabbing at him #But once he realizes it's just a coward's strategy it clicks that the counter is to be aggressive #And not let his opponent out of his 'range' #Also give him a neat little scene where they're grappling next to Black's dam project where it's super muddy #And Jay is like 'YOU WANT TO PLAY DIRTY? LETS GET FILTHY' and dunks Owl's face down into the mud #Because Jay can fight without his sight but Owl doesn't know how to continue while there's stinging gunk in his eyes and nose #I like thinking about what I'm going to do for BB!Jay's matches because his fighting style is really fun to write #1. Be aggressive and proactive 2. Don't let them out of range 3. SCARE THEM #From the Mud Match he learns that the best way to end a fight quickly is to absolutely terrify them #Because they're usually not expecting the fight to be difficult nor are they expecting to feel like theyre in danger #So if you surprise them it breaks their willpower real fast #And as he gains a reputation for brutality he faces less opponents until he's practically known as the Cleric Without Mercy #Bone babble

You couldn't fucking PAY me to write a coffeeshop AU. Love might be able to bloom on the battlefield, but it withers and rots in the foodservice industry.

#people who do food service are stronger than any warrior and tremendously sexy #but a starbucks is a desolate place of Modern Marketable Minimalism and profoundly unsexy labor exploitation #Nothing hot happens behind the counter of a coffee bar #Except Osha-violation related steam burns

So, if small enough, a speedster can hide inside someone else like a ghost.

I just think that’s funny bc imagine Bart gets in trouble with his grandpa or some shit and so he just goes over to Kon like “Hide me.” and Conner’s just like “What?” And than he vibrates at that frequency where he can pass through solid objects and backs into kon where he just completely disappears and Conner is freaking out bc where the fuck did he go? Than some member of the Flash Family arives and is like “Conner! Great, have you seen Bart? Do you know where he went?” And he’s just like “Um… no…” because he honest to God has no idea what just happened. Than once they leave, Bart just walks out of his chest like, “thanks!” And in shock Kon just has no fucking clue what to say besides, “Yeah no problem!” Because what the fuck just happened???

#I just realized that this wouldn’t entirely work bc Bart has big ass feet #Conner would have to ba standing behind a counter or som shit #also there would be a little bit of Bart that would have to stick out so he doesn’t fall through the floor. #bart allen #kon el #conner kent #young justice comics #young justice #young just us

"Yuma... When people grow up, they usually end up throwing away something that matters to them... But... don't you go and throw away... that power to believe in people, and that heart that never gives up... Don't you dare throw 'em away."

"Sh-Shark..."

"See, I would've liked to see the future you guys get going myself... but it doesn't look like I'll get to."

"Hey!"

"Kotori... Don't take your eyes off this idiot. Thanks, Yuma... Astral... My friends for life... I'm glad I got to have one last great duel with you two. Later..."
