Arkham Knight Relationship HCS !! <3
Tumblr media
( light nsfw, mostly SFW tho!! )
Tumblr media
literally my wife ( i made this pic idc abt creds i just wanna talk abt it)
Tumblr media
SFW !! <3
dying on this hill when i say basically any red hood would be soo yummy with a civilian or just someone who is extremely balanced.
im a red hood needs more fucking normalcy in his life TRUTHER.
relationship starts off slow, romantic and platonic, you need to be patient with him long enough for him to get over his mental dilemmas to feel ANY-TYPE of way towards you.
more then like 6 months lets be real yall
his way of bonding is quality time. ill die on this hill, especially at the start of the relationship. Nothing huge maybe just spending a couple extra minutes around you before leaving.
next is probably gift giving, esp with early relations, probably just gonna order you food or put fifty bucks on your countertop. you dont even notice until you realize you find a fifty around the last place he was standing. expect deliveries from R.H whenever he feels bad for something.
doesn't like being around for too long, feels like he's messing up something. ruining your day by keeping you up late (he was there for fifteen minutes), ruining your mood, (there was an awkward silence for like 30 seconds.)
not a overly conscious thought process though, he feels physically he isn’t supposed to be there. for whatever subconscious thing he picked up on, a awkward silence, or hes been there 15 minutes too long or something
well sometimes he'll mentally beat himself up.
he spirals a lot, needs someone to pull him out of that.
i think when he needs to be grounded, its not just comfort its making him feel alive in the present moment. he's never gonna truly forget about his traumas but maybe for just an hour or two; running around an arcade, walking around the city. just making him feel normal, yeah you BAGGED his ass quick.
he needs someone patient, really patient, someone whos very attentive and empathetic. (but not a complete push- over def needs someone to set him in line still)
i think if you move to quickly, he'll get super snappy and ghosting you,, ong put ur hands on him too early and he's left hooking you.
yeah you're waking up and the first thing your hearing is "Its been 12 years..."
second thing you hear is "you've been in a coma for.. 12 years."
third thing you're hearing is, " we think a bus hit you...”
obviously not touchy, even when he is settling down. hes just not sure how to .. or where to .. or why he wants too.
please his mental gymnastics get so crazy, just sit down with him and put on some silly ass movie so he stops
when he’s settled he cant pry himself off you though.
a lot of his expressions can definitely be told by his body language, naturally hes tense but theres certain habits he has when he's maybe thinking too much, or fustrated/irritated.
but he does all of the same for you, comfort, love, as much as he can he tries
Very attentive, has a mental list of 'shit you do when somethings wrong' or 'shit you like.'
doesn't consciously make any of these mental list, he just knows.
"didnt they say they liked this?" He pauses "shit ill just leave it at their window."
so he's like canonically smart as shit.
you have too much work from your boss or professor? hand it over its done in less then two hours.
literally buys you groceries and pays your bills (fucking lover boy.)
arkham knight finally figuring out how to ask for a hug (hes been dead silent for 5 minutes) (link) <— insta reel
HES A CHEM/HISTORY NERD FOR SURE
Tumblr media
NSFW !! <3
probably- A FUCKING VIRGIN !! HES A NERD !! GETS AWKARD AS SHIT. WITH RAGING COMMITMENT AND TRUST ISSUES !! (will still die4you tho)
AGAIN, not in a "my soft squishe potato always been scared of sex" way but in a ‘oh my god hes so unsocialized’ way.
yall ever see a big ass dog just..standing.. literally him (hes dissociating)
genuinely dont believe that when he was arkham/training to be, he was sexually or romantically involved with anyone. the last thing that was on his mind was actually pursuing a sexual or romantic relationship.
along with his trauma, he just wasn’t comfortable with any of that.
ghosted so many people..
couldn’t flirt for more then five minutes, just stopped feeling it or got uncomfortable .
I AM ANTI ARKHAM KNIGHT BEING A SEX GOD
not that he’s horribly awkward, but he’s noticeably a bit more quiet for first times.
ofc this man has watched porn n’ shit but hes smart enough to know thats not what its really like.
he’ll still figure it, what makes you tic, what you love, what makes you most comfortable.
kinda shitty at dirty talk, just makes him buffer.
he gets better at it tho, too damn good
gets so snarky and confident about it too uuhgrr
late relationships hes smirking and chatting your ears off cause you know hes gettin you turnt.
he has a love-hate relationship with his scars. 95% they remind him of his past, but 5% hes alright with them because they’ve shown what hes been through.
deep, deep, deep, deep, deep down, he knows hes fine as fuck. TRUST YALL.
again, super observant and attentive. really pays attention to what you enjoy.
I genuinely don’t believe hes into super hardcore/painful kinks or anything.
Sex for him is definitely a way of showing his trust and intimacy with someone!! Let him show you how much he loves you and how much he wants to make you feel good! Do the same to him !!
mmm tell him how good hes doing and hes a absolute mess!!
praise him! PRAISE HIM *im yelling from the hospital bed im strapped down on*
wouldn’t let you ride for awhile, but once he’s comfortable with it ,, he’s actually obsessed.
cant see him bottoming , just wouldn’t be comfortable with it
Tumblr media
my brain is getting messy so im stopping here! feedback and comments would be cool if you wanna drop some!

how i clear "doubts"
before continuing, remember that u make ur own rules and i share what works for me. its all based on ur assumptions so do what works for u ❤️‍🩹
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[ very messy unorganized post, bear with me ]
so as someone who doesn't believe things that easily, and a lot of times thinks logically, i found ways to help myself manifest and deal with negative thoughts.
first off, remember that these thoughts have no power. ZERO. they're just random thoughts so i wouldn't even call the doubts. just random thoughts that are less true than hot pink turtles crawling around ur bathroom ceiling(unless thats actually something true for u sorry lol). but what i'm saying is, don't give the thoughts power. this will help u stop wavering and persist without feeling as stressful. dont identify with these dumb untrue thoughts alright?
oh no !! i got a dOuBt. what do i do? 🥺
i take some deep breaths first. i acknowledge that i dont have to think PoSiTiVeLy all the time. this aint law of attraction. its not about forcing positively and be happy for high vibrations or whatever bullshit. nope. it's about assumptions right? its law of assumption.
with that in mind, i realize oh, so whatever i assume will come true.
so first, i assume those dumb thoughts aint matter anymore. they are just a bunch of bullshit that is not true. i tell myself that only my good thoughts would matter anyway, so give me all the doubts u want and i dont give a fuck.
its like when an annoying kid goes and bugs u. if u respond back they keep bugging u but if u ignore, they get bored and are like oh well whatever. so ur logical brain will be like: well the thoughts im telling her seem to be false. i guess im wrong im gonna stop annoying her.
and whenever u get those thoughts, its gonna be harder to give in and waver. its easier to persist now.
but...what if u cant believe it? if ur logical brain says: "well hell no. i dont believe u got big lips. i dont have proof, its against what i know."
instead of getting all worried like "oh no i wouldnt believe, will it not manifest?" i calm down and say "yeah just dumb thoughts again. they have no power so i dont care." I also say: "well believe it or not, my lips are big af. i know i might not believe it now, but there's nothing to deny that my lips are clearly big. so it doesnt matter what im believing. i have what i want regardless" this statement implies that whatever im believing or thinking, i still have my results. its done.
the statement i often now repeat when i get doubtful is: "well believe it or not, i clearly have [insert desire] and it's sooo obvious" or something along those lines
or "believe it or not its a fact that i have [desire] and i cant even prove it wrong."
i tell it to myself until i calm down to prevent myself from wavering.
my logical brain gives up and has no choice bc even if it wont believe me, it cant do anything about it because im speaking facts and the fact is that i got my desires
the bottom line: doing all of this ultimately does one important thing-it creates an assumption. specifically, i create an assumption that my "doubts" dont matter. and even if i think they matter they wont. even if im in complete disbelief that i dont have what i want, i still have what i want. there is zero other choice except to have what i want. no need for evidence or perfect thoughts.
i also acknowledge the fact that i wont fully believe or think in the perfect way and it's completely fine. because of the assumption i have created, even if i think shitty thoughts, i will still manifest what i want.
another thing about assumptions: they dont need evidence. like you can assume u have a white tshirt in ur closet even tho u didnt look in there.
for this case, this assumption i made eliminates every other option except to have my desire. no matter how much the logical mind tries, because i created this assumption, i can think whatever i want, have the most doubts and logic ever, and still manifest.
so keep persisting and you'll manifest ur desires without even realizing 💙

Red
Very dark Steve! Mob Steve! Non con! Reader and Steve have a child. Angst!! Lots of grammar and spelling mistakes I’ll edit in the morning or never who knows🤷🏻‍♀️❤️
Tumblr media
Red. the pain, the hurt, the passion, the love, everything was red. He was toxic, he was the obsessive. And you were his feen, his drug, his obsession , his love. But the days blurred, the lines no longer were standing, they had fallen. The fights, the late nights, the guessing and questions that went unanswered by him. It was a house on fire, it was red.
There was no time in the day to plan, with his anger, and yours. It was spontaneous, the fight had started because of steves affairs. The lying, the cheating, he ruined you, tore down all walls, made you just as obsessed with him as he was with you. Just to leave you in the dust, to cheat. To add gasoline to the fire that was you, or what was left of you anyhow.
Peggy was a glossy, classy woman with the perfect bubble of power and wittiness. She was everything you weren’t. You were messy, hazed with trouble, a woman gone mad by a man who drove her there. You were his frankenstein, you were old pieces of yourself glued back together again. The young, innocent, naive, funny, charming, and free girl was now chained to the scars he left.
You ran out of the house in the early morning, he came home late yet again. You had stayed up waiting for him, going to confront him in his act. Thats exactly what you did, but the end was not what you pictured. You hopped that he would hold you, say you were wrong, make love to you like in the beginning.
“Are you cheating on me?’ you asked quietly, you sat on the bed. You couldnt took at him.
“I dont want to have this conversation with you, it’ll only hurt you” steve spoke. That was all the answers you needed. You started to yell, scream, through insult after insult.
“I knew it! You’re scerwing peggy! Huh you’re fucking your secretary!” you yelled in his face crying. He rolled his eyes at you and shoved you to the side going to the bathroom to get ready for bed.
“Im tried of this steve” you sobbed walking to the closet grabbing any bag in sight packing up everything.
Once steve heard you say that so defeated he knew that you were serious about leaving him. You and him had lots a fights because of his actions but everytime he kissed it better. He drew back in promising his love and that it will never happen again. But it always does. Steve now had his suite jacket off, his selves rolled up, strands of his hair in hs face,
“You’re not leaving me” he stated
“Watch me” you said back in anger, masking the sadness.
“y/n i own you, you’re mine! You cant leave me baby” he said getting angry.
“You cheated steve! Again. I-i cant do this i cant sit here and wait for you to love me again. We are not the people we were when we first started dating. I cant and wont be the drunk housewife waiting for her husband whose never gonna come back because his mistress.” you were out of breath from crying and talking so fast while packing.
Steve stepped closer “baby come on its me! Its us! We always get through stuff like this!” he tried to manipulate you with his soft words but this time it wouldn’t work. the naive girl you used died, not even a ghost left of her
“We wouldnt have to “get through this stuff” if you didnt cheat and fuck other women.” you held up air qoutes while talking.
“I love you” steve pulled you in near, kissing the top of your head. You sobbed in his chest, hurt, angry, betrayed. The three year relationship was now smoke, the fire was all burnt out. The engagement ring heavy on your finger, it was a line of whispered lies and i love yous.
Steve drew you to the bed, kissing his way up your neck. His hands sliding down your frame gripping your hips. His false hope whispered in your ear and apologies that didnt have any meaning stuck to you, like a cigarette burn. He took off your clothes and gently laid you on the bed. ‘When was the last time he was gentle with me?’ you thought to yourself as he kissed and licked at you lower lips.
“Say something baby, tell me you wont leave me, that you love me” he begged like he was the victim. You stayed silent, numb.
“prettybaby i love you. Say it back! I need you! I cant live with out you!” both of you now naked on the bed. he pushed himself into your entrance, all you could do was cry.
Steve begged and whined for you back but little did he know the car was running outside waiting to escape him and this burning house.
Steve fell asleep hugging you, his head resting on your tummy his arm wrapped around you. You ran your fingers through his hair, soaking up what was left of the man you used to know, he was burned alive, gone. You slowly pushed him off of you and got dressed, grabbing the bags on clothes and bathroom care you walked out. You looked around the house as you left, the nicknacs and photos of you and steve. The nursery that sat empty. Steve promised children but then came peggy. You kissed your engagement ring and then placed it on the entry table by steves keys.
Getting in the car and speeding off in to what was left of the mess steve made of you.
Tumblr media
One year later-
A wail of a new born was calling out to you in the dead of the night. You never got frustrated being a single mother, reminding yourself when you caught yourself being negative that you could still be with steve. Penny was three months old and her blonde curly hair was sticking in every which way. It made you giggle.
“Hi! Mommys here its okay penny girl” you picked her up rocked her in your arms.
She might be steve daughter but you never let her know what pain she was created from, you would never let her end up like steve nor you.
“Mama loves you” you said as she closed her big eyes again just needing comfort from her mom to make her feel better. Steve didnt know that the night that the two of you had sex before you left was the cause of a beautiful little girl. He had tried to call, and text you put after smaing you phone and leaving to state of New York for Washington you knew he wouldnt find you.
You lived in a little white house with a garden in a small town tucked away from the crazy and hurt.
You sat in the rocking chair in pennys room rocking her, your tiredness was catching up to you. Just as your eyes started to close he spoke from the depths of the darkness that was the closet.
“Oh prettybaby you are such a good little mommy, just like i knew you would be” he walked closer.
You screamed. Getting up with penny in your arms backing away from him trying stumble to the door backwards,
“Get out. Steve get out! I-i cant-” you sobbed your hold on penny grew tighter.
“Baby its okay, i wont hurt you. y/n im so proud of you, look at the life you built for our little girl, now i am mad you didnt tell me you were pregnant. But baby she is gorgeous. Now i need you to decide either you come home or we can live out here. Ya know i kinda love it here. Good thinking babe this is great place to rise kids”
You sobbed harder.
“How did you find us” you asked crying, so scared.
“Oh baby dont be naive, i will always find you”
“You cant be in our life, your toxic and i wont rase my daughter in the life we used to have. She wont end up like us! You cant be here! You ruined me!’ you sobbed and hyperventilated. He slowly walked closer like approaching an injured animal
“Baby i know i know, i was wrong and mean and cruel to you. I was blind i thought you would always be there for me. I took you for granted. Shes gone y/n, i got rid of peggy, shes taking a long nap and i aint ever gonna hurt you like that again. I need you baby…..and i need to be in my daughters life. I cant live without you nor am i gonna be able to leave her all alone now too” he explained
“I wanna have a good life, nothing like the one we used to have. You scare me steve and you’ve hurt me” you said looking at little penny who had a frown on hef face, she could read the distress from her mother.
“y/n look at me!” steve grabbed your face in his hands and made you look at him. “I will make it up to you i promise. I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you baby. I cant live without you” you shock your head no
“Its okay i get it y/n we need time, but im not going anywhere” steve spoke again.
“Come on lets put penny girl back in ger crib and go to bed” steve guided you to the crib and put penny down. She was right back to being cozy and sleepy. Steve pulled you in a hug while you sobbed into his chest, he was sliding his hand over your hair while shushing you.
“Come one lets go to sleep.” steve took your hand in his and leaded you back to your room. You laid down still crying, steve undressed himself down to his boxers and then joined you. He spooned you.
“I’ve missed you so much baby” was the last thing you heard before falling into slumber because you had cried yourself to sleep in his arms.
The house was burnt but in its ashes something new rose.
Authors note; i know some people will not understand why she didnt fight more, and the reason why was because she was in shock. It been and year and he shows up and shes like oh crap he found me and our now daughter. She is really scared of him and numb. Also steve is a mob boss by the way.

Ticci Toby General Headcanons
(srry its so long i have a lot of thoughts about him... probably will rewrite later
) ---------------------------------------- - toby rogers is a small kid, around 5'6-5'7 with messy, shaggy brown hair and dark brown eyes. his hair is choppy and uneven from having to cut it himself and his eyes lack any true life behind them - to be fair, the guy himself lacks any life in him in general. he lost it all when he destroyed his life and became a proxy - but theres nothing he can do now. he knows this, and he copes hard. in ways that are less than ideal - fighting, outbursts, temper tantrums, drinking, smoking, murder - toby thinks with his fists more than he does his brain. he always has been and always will be a fighter, thats one thing he got from his father for better or for worse - he's just generally an insensitive prick - the kid doesn't care one bit about anybody but himself. its a dog eat dog world, right? every man for himself. - besides the lack of empathy, and the callousness, toby is also a weird kid in all. he crosses lines and disrespects boundaries, and is very vulgar and crude - very loud and immature. just an obnoxious prick - he does what he wants and god forbid anybody tries to assert authority over him - this is why he tends to have issues with tim. he cant stand the thought of some random guy going around acting like he knows him, or telling him what to do - nobody knows toby, not truly. he overshares and he talks a lot, but he doesnt really say much. the kid would rather kick, fight and scream than let anybody close to him - theres not a single soul on earth that toby trusts enough to rely on, in his mind all he has is himself now. especially after everything with his sister. he barely remembers it, but god does it follow him - he was never incredibly close with his sister, they just stuck by each other while dealing with their father. they bonded over the abuse in a subtle, sick way - she would stand up for him while he was being bullied in middle school, not knowing that toby would often instigate the fights. he was a violent kid projecting the violence at home onto kids on the playground - he wasnt just bullied, he was a bully too - to this day, people will often avoid him or feel uncomfortable around him. toby is just an antisocial asshole who pushes people away - despite this, he can be rather friendly at times. he's a very charismatic person when he wants to be and is scarily good at getting people to like him. - its only when they really get to know him that they run for the hills. he's nothing but a wolf in sheeps clothing and he pulls off the "troubled teen" act very well - when it comes to his 'job', he doesn't really follow through in the way he's supposed to - unless of course he's being directly controlled by Him - sometimes toby will wake up in the forest, covered in blood that isnt his and having no recollection of the past week or month - so much time has been taken from him, and so much more - theres not much he can do though. he has a job and He wont let him stop until the boy is useless. then he'll be discarded - until then, toby will continue to destroy himself just like he destroys everything around him. he will continue to be a fighter until he cant anymore. he'll continue to take and ruin lives - because honestly, thats all toby rogers has become and ever will be

heavy spoilers for chapter 23 of Always by your side by @ingo-ingoing-ingone!! this chapter was so fantastic i. didnt have words for it. ended up doing 6 (nearly 7) drawings for it instead. i think this is my record- it took me roughly 7 hours. a fair warning! this is both art and a comment to the fic in one. so its rather long!
Tumblr media
ok i had an Unreasonable amount of fun doing the background on this one. ended up looking up a lot of the celestial bodies mentioned in the fic, man are they cool! it was implied that Emmet didn't really have a body so! stars instead. the colors were fun- i dont often let myself just. color like this haha! this one was... reall amazing. a fantastic opener! i immediately latched onto the visuals and painted a picture in my mind. it was just so... astronomical?
Tumblr media
i actually struggled with how i was going to position these two for a while. at first it was just them coloring in a clearing- then i made them watching pokemon, and then. this! idk- there just something sweet in how Ingo turns around to look at Emmet and... lighting was funky for this one- how a forest shades the things beneath it will always hold a special place in my heart. these two interacting is always so wonderful to read. the gentle ribbing and teasing and... just them chilling and talking was so nice. the fact that it was dragons was even better! dragons are the best. i felt a very sweet and gentle moment needed an equally sweet and gentle drawing. if i could, i might have gone for line less on Ingo and Emmet here as well.
Tumblr media
right- this was the last one i did. i think its the only one that i didn't get specifically from what was written. i just... wanted to give Emmet cuddles alright? /lh i had another sketch exploring exactly what Emmet might look, but i think ill revisit that when i... haven't been drawing for 7 hours straight hgfireohgope. the one in this is more simplified. the horror of having your face show one emotion- not even the one your most known for... your voice is toneless and the only was you can show even a fraction of what you feel is by copying what you (supposedly) dead brother used to do. there is a quiet horror in that- and yet Emmet still goes on. he cant feel texture and yet... he deserves many nice things.
Tumblr media
this one!!! was originally going to be an Entire piece with a more "realistic" drawing of Ingo sitting behind a fire just like this. when i sketched this out (in the middle of reading it) that was the plan. Jedi saved me by making Emmet draw it like this. you saved me probably an hour ghirepoghpeirh. i... still might draw it how i wanted at some point. also the lighting was added last minute! i thought it would look... more messy with the light of the fire shining on it. i think it looks nice. the scene was sweet and, like Emmet mentioned he did, i put emphasis (or uh... thicker more defined lines) around peoples faces to better define their happiness. it made me happy to read them being happy and then draw them being happy <3
Tumblr media
them!!!!!! i do not think it is a secret at All how much i love this au. i was More than happy to draw them again. and!!! being happy!!! perfect. i remembered this was a dream, and decided to blur the background quite a bit of this one- lopsided like its not really being thought about. adored this one. them!! teasing each other!! just!! going through a day!! perfect. amazing. it was really fun the way the small details of their routine was captured. from Ingo just. turning to goop so he doesn't have to pick up his clothes to Emmet just. accepting everything that happened from the mental connection to the shared feelings.
Tumblr media
DRAMATIC FORESHORTENING!!!! i almost wanted to play it up More but then i might lose Ingo's expression. the background for this was fun to do- emphasis! strong colors!! looks like something broke. like something was torn away. this whole bit is just. exactly what Emmet fears and its just. ough. Ingo would never do this- we know this, Emmet knows this two- he knows how ridiculous Ingo was being here. and then the climax with Emmet just... falling off... amazing. Ingo's horrified expression is what caught my attention here, though i had a few more ideas depicting Ingo leaning over Emmet. i figured a dramatic drawing here would fit.
so! there ya go. i had. so much fun doing this and! thank you so much for writing this and sharing with us Jedi. if you keep this up, ill just have to keep making more drawings!! i don't think words are enough- not even sure if these can properly express how i felt reading it all (i actual had to get up and pace around bc i got so excited) but! i think that your art inspired my own art is a very beautiful thing.
lets all keep making art with one another forever.

“what do you believe in Felix?” “Creation.”
[Analysis below]
I really hope 1. the sentimonster theory is true, so that way we would finally get an interesting side plot line than the “i want my wife back, better beat up kids that are in love” “”plot”” but also 2. Felix is the only sentimonster. I would really prefer only him than Adrien to be one. Not just because it would make more sense to give such a tragic deposition to a side character than main character, but it’ll be a main component to finally separate him from Adrien.
I guess I dont mind if both of them are. I mean the ring rubbing for adrien (which is ‘evidence’ I dont really like to rely on too much because the ring theory is too messy, but its definitely something to not ignore) wishmaker episode only knowing to obey parents since birth pretty much, and the biggest and most sus evidence is ‘evolution’ episode where adrien’s parents are clearly going to make something. So it could be both of them, but this is why I’d prefer it to be felix.
Felix and Adrien are so similar in almost every part of their life. They are both from rich families, both dont have the best social skills making friends (but obviously adrien more so than felix), they both lost a parent also around the same time, they’re very exceptional with everything they try at, and literally similar arcs (as we know so far) with wanting to be independent. But they’re different how? Felix is the mean one? That’s just not enough to have 2 distinguishing characters. They can have similar arcs but clearly need their own crutch or stic ya know to be different. Clearly adrien already has his cat noir arc plus papa being baddie going on. So it would be so interesting to not just stack another awful thing onto adrien and instead give it to felix where he finaly has his own thing going on.
At the moment, the theory is not yet 100% confirmed (not counting just ‘tweets’ its gotta be said in the show, finding out through twitter doesnt count and if we needed to find out through twitter then that isnt good writing....but...its miraculous soo lolll) The audience however is now more conscious about the idea of sentimonster rights lol. So who better to explore that avenue than someone who is one. 
Adrien has a lot on his plate already to be a sentimonster lol. Even though I find it hard to see how adrien isnt in the mix of all this, especially with the evidence that supports adrien being one...evolution episode being the biggest one.
crazy theory: Gabriel and Emelie made a child (felix) using the peacock miraculous because Emelie couldn't bear one (painting of emilie reference)...but then later she actually miraculously did get pregnant, and thats adrien. 
Emilie: “soo what are we going to do with this child that we created?”
Gab: “eh..just give it to your sister”
(LOL) The alternative is adriens and felix parents back and forth passing each other the peacock miraculous to make their own children, which is tooo messy. Ya my theory falls a lil towards the end lol, but everything is pointing to both or one of them being sentis but we just know how it all happened.
Conclusion, give felix the sentimonster arc, it’ll be cool, and he would be able to handle it more than adrien who already has a lot on his plate. Wether some of us believe in the theory or not, cant lie and say the destruction of sentimonsters is not in our conscious now after Risk. Everytime we see one get snapped out, thats a sentient being losing its life. Gosh what an interesting avenue to explore uhgh if it ever happens, if not a much more interesting side plot better replace it. And I mean a really goood motive for felix. It must be good since they have been hiding it for so long no??

im laughing at this fanfic rough-draft i wrote almost a year ago. I wrote it for fun just to get my ideas out and its thus very messy. Heres the last page of it. It takes place when they are in middle school
Tumblr media
im sorry but wayne calling tony "b**** boy" "PLUS IM BORED" will never not be the funniest thing to me,. The story takes place when they are both in middle school and u cant tell me wayne wouldnt be swearing by that point and just being very insufferable, always ready to fight, lolol.
The context for the dialogue is: Tony goes to middle school and Lucien has a new friend group. They are a grade apart and don't share many classes as is. Tony slowly stops talking to Lucien, but its because of struggles he is having at home, not because of Lucien himself. But hey, its middle school and miscommunications and misunderstandings happen a lot during that time with friends. Lucien doesn't know Tony is struggling and assumes Tony is just mad at him for avoiding him the way he does.
Also theres this (not a fanfic, just rambles)
Tumblr media
Maybe i should draw agent X and Walter shaking hands like past-me wanted. Im not as crazy hyperfixated anymore where it consumes my brain 24/7, but I still do enjoy this cartoon. I always headcanoned that Walter Winkle had a rag to riches story line and that Seth feels abandoned by Mr. Winkle for leaving the Swamp to pursue a better life.
No wonder I had so many fanfic/AU ideas for this cartoon. It had a lot of interesting characters and mini subplots that I wish were explored more

Hey its me who left a comments on your Quora, and bc im a negative hater of Hermione that will make her worshippers cry, i wanna just copy and repeat my unpopular opinions here to yours in order to spread my negativity :p
I think its kinda funny how Rowling self inserted into Hermione but forgot herself is a adult woman, and Hermione is a teenager sometimes, but like only sometimes.
A lot of Hermiones rule bendings and actions just sounds like what an 20s or 30s something would want to do, and would have full conviction as well as planning ability to carry it out. Sorta like the way you cant file a lawsuit and WIN if you are 10 but can if you are 21. Rowling wishes she could do what Hermione can do but forgot she was writing a teenager, then went "oh its ok. She settled it all in the end off pages."
Rowling will be like "Hermione is me and so mature and i wanted to do that to people i hate all my life" when it comes to time traveling - to take more classes than her peers because its fair where? - and "punishing" a bad journalist who spread stupid rumors and "punishing" the students and teachers she hated, or erasing her parents out of her records. Because only adults could break big rules like that and maybe deal with consequences. But then in the same books same chapters she will be like "Hermione is forever 13 year old and hates defying rules" when it come to the characters emotional development. And worse, after that couldnt write all the messy logical backlashes and consequences that this teenagers actions left.
Coupling with Emma Watsons casting and all the Mary Sue script changes influencing later books, the result is the worse, most self entitled, inconsistent, sloppily written female character ever created among all the real, logical teenage characters. Some like Harry is Mary Sue-ish, but hes at least consistent and logical to a teenager. Hermione is a Sue and couldnt even be a decent one that makes a lick of sense.
we like to dunk on Movie Hermione, and her looks and the Ron bashing can make us dislike her because thats not book Hermione, but in terms of being a Mary Sue , movie Hermione is actually a much better written character than book Hermione. One is at least consistent and is a character despite "perfect". Movie Hermiones lines and moments are still things a , very perfect, schoolgirl can know and do. Book Hermione cant decide if shes a teenager character with emotional flaws or a 30 something 4th wall goddess with super meta powers that can solve every characters romance problems. Like you cant choose both of these, Rowling.
its so frustrating bc this is actually why its so hard to convince Hermione lovers and criticizers on points from either side on her personality and her relationships with others. Because a very blazen competent girl that could "punish" teachers and students and new reporters alike on the basis of very adult, very real LAW and ORDER can not act like an jealous, immature 15 year old that also cries all the time with no handle on her emotions, is "book smart" and stick for rules, and vice versa. Which is she?
i now dont really care for Hermione and Ron. She ruined the couple for me. its not that she could be an asshole to him, but because shes not a character. Shes a vessel.
_____
Vivi's commentary: Well darn that is a brutal assessment! I do believe that what the things that make Hermione feel so disconnected is the lack of consequences. I mean, the way she "punishes" Rita and Marietta is totally the way a teenager fantasizes about punishing the people who hurt them, but the fact that Hermione manages to do it without ever having it bite her in the ass is the part that's really making her a Mary Sue for me.

Columbia Pictures Month : Bye Bye Birdie
Tumblr media
Next film on my Columbia film reviews is the musical Bye Bye Birdie .Now I have no familiarity with the musical ,so will view this as a stand alone thing
Now the plot of this 1963 film is that singing superstar Conrad Birdie (Jesse Pearson ) has just been drafted ,and Rosie (Janet Leigh ) secretsary and fiance to song writer Albert Peterson (Dick Van Dyke) ,has set up a final performance on the Ed Sullivan show ,with a publicity stunt of him kissing a girl from his fan club ,Kim MacAfee(Ann Margeret ) and shennaigans ensue
Soooooo thats the basic plot but um,mm.......Yeah this plot is somehow very complicated and paper thin ,so it makes no damn bit of sense .The story would make more sense if Albert was the agent of Conrad and not a struggling song writer ,I didnt even bring up the fact Albert is also a biochemist ,or Kims jealous boyfriend hugo ,or Alberts overbearing mother .From what I understand the story is supposed to be about Albert and Rosie......But the movie is more about Kim,and while I am thankful made a star out of Ann Margret who does her all with the role ,Kim shouldnt be the focus
Also tangent a big focus on the movie is Ed Sulivan ,he plays himself and his show is a big plot point .Now I was born way after his time,but his TV show was one of the biggest shows in America.....Soley because the guy had connections and paid well cause the guy has NO CHARISMA and by GOD ,HE CANT ACT .And yes I KNOW ,his show was popular cause he got amazing guests like Elvis,The Beatles ,Jim Henson,etc and his job was just to introduce but I am still baffled cause he is one of the most uncharismatic show business people I have ever seen .Sorry to get sidetracked,this has very little to do with the film,I know that but I honestly dont get the appeal of Ed Sullivan and theres a whole damn subplot about Paul Lynde being in love with him basically ,so I had to bring him up
OK so it might seem like I dont like the movie.....But I was entertained ,despite how messy it is.....Most of the songs are good ,not all timers for me but they are fun ,I think the most fun song for me was Kids performed by Paul Lynde ,I think that is the best song in the movie and I was surprised to find Put On A Happy Face came from this .Honestly its just fun to witness the dancing talents of Dick Van Dyke in anything ,and the musical talents of Ann-Margret ,Paul Lynde and surprisingly Janet Leigh .In fact the cast in general is very good,Dick Van Dyke is fun as this mamas boy song writer (Nowhere near as good as his performance in the next years Mary Poppins but hes good ),Janet Leigh is really good and she impressed me in the musical sequences like I said ,Ann Margret while I dont think her character shouldve been the lead COMMANDS the camera and is very good (Her opening song had me concearned but the later songs showed me how good she was ),Maureen Stapleton is frankly hilarious as the overbearing mother,and Paul Lynde is the scene stealer as Kims father ,a lot of his lines made me laugh .The film is also very funny every time I was unsure about the film thered be a really funny joke .I also think George Sidney directs the film well the film going into often surreal and somewhat cartoony vibes
I dunno I dont LOVE the movie.....But I enjoy it .I do reccomend it if you want something kind of silly

Welcome to the Garden (Sanctuary AU)
The Garden. A pocket dimension that sits on the line between life and death. This little world is designed to house and heal broken souls. Those who have died under tragic circumstances, or have many regrets are called to this realm. Once they let go of their trauma and regrets, the soul can pass on to its next life. That is the role of The Garden.
Ajax (Chapter 9)
“Creators, no!!! No!!! Hey!!! Wake up!!! Open your eyes!!! Please!!!” The stick heard a voice. It sounded so familiar, yet he could not remember who the voice belonged to.
“Who are you?” He asked in his head, unable to make a sound with his voice. He wasn't even able to open his eyes and face the person who cried out for him.
“Who are you?” He repeated as he felt himself become weightless. The stick felt as if he were floating. It was strange at first, but it was also quite comforting. He then heard the voice again. But it seemed to be much farther away than before.
“Please!! Don't leave!!! I’m sorry!! You're my only friend!! I cant live without you!!!” The stick began to feel guilty. Whoever was with them sounded so heart broken. He wished he could remember who the other stick was.
“I'm sorry dear stranger. But I hope you know that whatever happened was not your fault.” The stick suddenly felt himself being placed down on a soft surface.
“What a strange feeling.” He thought as he got comfortable. The voice from before was now nothing but a soft whisper.
“I'm sorry, mysterious person, but I can't hear you anymore. I guess that means goodbye.” The stick suddenly felt his consciousness fade.
“Maybe I should just… rest my eyes….”
**********
When the stick came to, his whole body ached. He groaned as he slowly opened his eyes. He came to regret that decision when he was blinded by a bright light. The stick turned his head away from the light and groaned.
“Where am I?” He wondered aloud. He then heard some footsteps coming his way. The stick squinted and looked up with his eyes. Through his partially blurry vision, he could see a hot pink stick make her way to him.
“Hey! You're awake! Are you feeling better?”  They asked as they kneeled next to the disoriented stick.
“Where.. Am I…?” He asked before coughing.
“Ah, careful, you took a lot of damage.” The hot pink stick suddenly grabbed something and stood. They suddenly lifted the stick’s head and pressed something to his lips.
“Here, drink this. It should help you.” She said as she began tiling the container. The stick did as he was told and drank the sweet substance. Once he drank it all, he was feeling a lot better. As he opened his eyes wider, he could see clearly again. He could finally make out features of the stick that held him closely. The hot pink stick wore a white beanie and a green bandana around her neck. Their short hair hung just over her shoulders. The injured stick blinked in confusion.
“Who are you?” He asked. The hot pink stick placed the bottle on the nightstand next to the bed and carefully laid him back down.
“My name’s Razzberry. But everyone calls me Razz. Now what about you? What’s your name?” Razz asked, crouching black down next to the stick. He stared at Razz blankly. A name, he needed to tell her his name. But… He couldn't remember  his name.
“M-My name… uh, my name is….” The stick looked up at the ceiling and furrowed his brow. What was his name? Did he ever have one? Why couldn't he remember his name? Heck, he couldn't even remember what he looked like!
“Do you not remember your name?” Razz suddenly asked. The stick looked over at Razz with a terrified look. His eyes were glossy from forming tears.
“I-I… I don't remember my name! I-I don't even know what I look like! Who am I?!” He cried as his hands flew up to his head, hands gripping his messy hair. He felt like his mind was going crazy. The poor stick was trying to figure anything out about himself. But he was only drawing blanks.
“Hey, hey, calm down. It’s ok.” Razz said as she carefully removed his hands from his hair.
“It’s ok dude. Calm down.” The confused stick looked over at Razz, tears falling from his eyes.
“What happened to me? Why can't I remember anything?” He cried. Razz sat on their knees and wiped away the stick’s tears.
“Hey, it’s gonna be ok. You’ll remember it eventually. Everyone does.” She said with a comforting smile.
“If it makes you feel better, we can give you a temporary name till you remember your old one.” Razz suggested. The new stick sniffled and looked back up at the ceiling. He thought about it. It was something that he would have to get used to, but it was better than him being nameless.
“What names do you have in mind?” Razz hummed as she rested her chin on the back of her hand.
“We already have a crimson here…. And red is too basic…” Razz muttered to themself. The stick sniffled as he waited in anticipation. Razz then snapped her fingers.
“I got it! How’s the name Ajax? Does that sound good to you?” Razz asked him. The stick thought about the name.
“Ajax. That has a nice ring to it. Yeah, I like that! My name is Ajax!” Ajax said excitedly, a smile growing on his lips. Razz smiled back.
“Welcome to the garden Ajax!”
**********
Once Ajax had the strength to walk around on his own, Razz led him out of the med bay.
“And you're absolutely sure that you’ll be fine?” Razz asked. The red stick nodded a bit.
“Yeah. That drink you gave me really helped me out! I feel quite energetic!” Ajax said as he placed his hands on his hips. “I feel much better than I did earlier.”
“Well that’s a good sign.” Razz said as she walked by an open door. As Ajax followed, he caught a glimpse of something moving in the bathroom. Curious, he paused and turned back to see who or what was in the bathroom.
“Hello?” He said as he opened the door wider. As he did, he found that the room was completely empty.
“Huh. That’s weird.” Razz then came up behind Ajax.
“What is it?” They asked as they looked into the bathroom as well.
“I thought I saw something moving around in here.” Ajax mentioned as he glanced up. He then saw another stick behind a window.
“Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to intrude on you.” As Ajax said this, he noticed that the stick on the other side of the window was mimicking his every movement and every word.
“Why are you copying me?”
“Stop copying me!”
“I said it first!”
Ajax suddenly heard laughing behind him. Turning around, He could see Razz fall to the floor, her whole body quaking.
“A-are you ok?! You're not hurt are you?!” Ajax asked as he kneeled to help Razz up. As Ajax helped Razz up, he realized that she was laughing hysterically. The red stick figure furrowed his brow as he helped her stand.
“Why are you laughing? What’s so funny?” Ajax half demanded. Once razz caught her breath, she looked up at the very confused stick.
“A-ajax-Haha!! D-do you r-remember what a mirror is?” Razz giggled to themself. Ajax paused as he thought about her question. He then looked back at what he thought was the window. It was in fact a mirror. He blushed as he realized he had made a fool of himself.
“Haha, yeah keep laughing.” Ajax huffed as he shoved Razz, who was still giggling. As Razz was busy struggling to collect themself, Ajax turned back to the mirror and studied themself. His hair really was quite messy. He also noticed that his face didn't look quite like Razz’s. Instead of the solid circle, he had a ring. He wondered why his head was shaped so differently from Razz’s. Razz then caught their breath and rested a hand on Ajax’s shoulder.
“A-alright buddy. Let's get you fixed up to meet everyone else.”  Razz said as she led Ajax out of the bathroom and took him to his room.
**********
As Razz finished fixing Ajax up, there was a knock at the door.
“Come in!” Razz called as she brushed out the last bits of Ajax’s hair. As the door opened, Ajax looked over with his eyes. He saw a pastel yellow stick walk into the room.
“Is he ready?” She asked as she walked up to the duo.
“Just about.” Razz said as they placed the brush down. “What do you think Ajax?”
Ajax looked at himself in the mirror. Razz had cut his hair short and styled it into a sort of fade. Ajax couldn't help but to smile at his new look.
“Wow, you did really good Razz.” Ajax said as he turned his head to see the back of his head. Razz smirked and twirled the scissors on her finger,
“Hell yeah I did.” Razz said. The yellow stick chuckled, gaining Ajax’s attention once more.
“Well Ajax, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dandi. And I am the master of the garden. I wanted to welcome you here personally before you went to introduce yourself to everyone else here.” Dandi said with a bow. Ajax smiled and bowed his head as well.
“It’s nice to meet you Dandi. Um, thank you for welcoming me.” Ajax said as he stood. Dandi nodded.
“Come now, everyone’s been quite curious about you.”

Hello!! I love love love your arts. I feel like a lot of them have a sense of 'movement' which contrasts a lot of very polished artworks.
I love works with meticulously planned composition, layers, highlights, etc. I love works with a certain kind of loose yet purposeful application of value and colors. (The Two Cakes thing in the fandom). And I noticed that your arts belong to the latter category which I can rarely find!
If you don't mind me asking, do you have any artists or artworks that you're heavily inspired from? Do you draw on a pen-tablet, IPad, or other media? What application are you using? I feel like three questions are already too much for one ask so you don't need to answer them if you don't want to. I enjoy scrolling through your blog either way!
Hiiiiiiiiii dear anon!!! thank you soo much for sending this message! it made my day 🧡🧡🧡 Loose but thoughtful art is what im striving for so its really make me happy to hear that i have some success in that Answering your question i draw using some cheap old model of genius pen-tablet. Bought it 10 years ago as my first device. Still running. Heard a lot of shitty comments about quality of genius tablets at that time, but even more only about Wacom in recent years i think (fuck them. Wtf with pen's tips that are constanty erasing. For who this product is made for. Ew). as for the apps, i use clip paint studio, for studies - heavypaint (great thing). There are AMAZING artists on tumblr who inspire me heavily with their works. like. i follow ~400 ppl here. because i like to stare at art. so. im gonna talk about my favorites! @crowthis - king. queen. i dont know the pronounces sorry. they draw magnificent things i love their style SO much, its such an inspiration. sometimes i just visit their blog to go through art tag and experience all that beauty. (half of their wrks i have downloaded on my desktop) It's loose, quite 'chaotic', but SO atmospheric. The mood, composition, texture, everything. Themes. I like black and white drawings as much as the ones with colours, it so bright and blatant\bold in a way, but it works perfectly, it gives your the right sense of the work. Even tho usually i prefer more calm colours, it makes me go 'wow!' And their works looks really simple and intuitive but as an artist you know that haha no its fcking hard to do things like that. it takes skill and knowledge. loose work is tricky
@frozensoba - idk how much time i could stare at their recent fish drawings like jesus christ. i wish i could do that. i want to be able to do that. my ass is ready to work every time i see it and drawings like these really inspire me to draw simple things and non-humans bc i feel like you can draw beautifully everything that exists. you just need to know how. Colours, texture, rhytm, lines... everything on its place. I love colours especially. Its very gentle kind of harmony going on there, and the palette is huge, intricate.
@nerdyhideoutphilosopher-2 - going crazy over their works. honesty dont know what to say. go look and see. unique voice Artists id like to mention as well: @dynasoar5 - i mean. just go and look at that. i love how loose and messy kind of rendering is but it looks amazing. and overall. simply amazing drawings fuck yes @jadenvargen - just go and look at his works. i see no point in talking. simply beautiful. looks easy but also hard as fuck. the colours are so bright and rich and very bold but somehow everything is right on its place. it leads you where it should. just wow. the skill i respect @snippit-crickit - once again. beautiful. i really love their studies and how they render things, the colours. @sen-art-acc - LINE WORK. LINE WORK. go check it out. LINE WORK!!!! and i simply like how tidy and clean the drawings look like with colours. i cant do stuff like this. i have zero patience to be this accurate and precise. Also if you love loose artwork i should recommend you those artists for sure @shican, @dude-standin i love as well @wuntrum and @cordspaghetti works a lot. I followed both of them because mcr fanart i guess? tho never was into mcr and stayed for the drawings alone Also, if we're speaking about more "pro" (dont like this term either, forgive me) kind of artists i have some huge inspirations as well (tho my art not in any way reminds of them im afraid lmao. but i hope maybe in ten or ok 30 years or more ill be somewhere). There are a ton of artists i like, but its for another post i guess. To much talk. So here we go Sergio Toppi - he's an amazing at working with lines and composition. I have his comic books on my bookshelf. I open it everytime i want to get energy to draw. You cant look at his drawings and NOT to get inspired. He's incredible. The rhytm, the shapes... damn. i can look at his drawings for hours. And he was the main inspiration to work with lines and composition more, to play with it more. I dont have a lot of line-work on this acc (last quiobi drawing, some year\two-old dghda drawings, eugene one) but i actually exercise it a lot. Lines are extremely powerful tool. And as for composition... The shapes, negative spaces, love it. And he's extremely good at working with colour too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Francis Vallejo - he's illustrations are so good... he's incredible with composition and rhytm his drawings have. Negative spaces, one again.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anders Zorn - i adore his black and white graphic drawings. Angles, framing, line work. Spent a lot of time looking at his works. Cant get enough of it. The way he draws people, the plot, themes. What he chooses to portray, the way people look, what they do. There is such a special mood to his drawings, there is something extremely psychological about it, isn't there? he's a master im mesmerized by
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bernie Fuchs - composition, rhytm, once again. I love it when you want to look at something for more then 2 seconds, because the rhytm of the drawings leads you into different places and opens its plot in parts. No matter where you look u'll find something interesting and even though there is lot of going on its still not a mess and looks and feels fucking awesome. And i love his colour palettes too. He's very good at setting the mood (check out his less commercial works)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As for the colour here's a few i love. (Though they're still extremely good with everything else)
Hovsep Pushman - the man is a mystery. His work with colours, light and texture is beyond me. Also it has disco elysium vibe to it. I dream of being capable of something like this when im sixty or so (im not gonna be)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mead Schaeffer - simple but powerful. Looking at his works like eating a tasty ice cream.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
same goes to Dean Cornwell - though its a bit more complex, his composing. You need to pay more attention
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'd like to mention one other artist - Jamie Wyeth. his works are something else entirely, i dream of drawing like this one day. Loosiness, themes, mood. Ill probably cry if i see those ones in real life one day, somehow special to my heart, relates
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He has these series - "Seven deadly sins". Ive been in love for some time
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As for the inspiration drawings on itself - thinking about it im coming back to dragon age tarot cards. Not all of them, but i still go 'jesus i want to draw like this' at some, through years. This one especially.
Tumblr media
Soooo Thats it i guess! I mean. I love to talk and talk about art especially. I probably could write ten more posts like this no problem. I actually heavily into landscape painters since... Well. Nature. Ice, oceans, sky. I sadly havent really tried to get into the genre myself, i do not draw lots of backgrounds as you can see. Should work on this probably, life's short. But im always happy to share my fav artists! So hit me up whenever. dm or send an ask! And a beautiful work for the ending

i had a post typed up about it but apparently it just did not save to drafts buttt. in terms of a reboot i cant really be. too harsh about the idea itself though thats definitely because well. techno died. its hard for people to work on a collaborative story when a member dies, especially one so important to many characters stories.
i completely understand wanting a reboot out of grief, even though i dont really think itll be the most beneficial (after all, itd.. wipe the fact that techno was involved at all from the server. we will always remember, certainly, but.. its hard to deny how impactful techno was to the story, and to simply move on isnt going to be the right answer for many)
however i think the idea of rebooting the idea because the ccs decided they stopped liking the fandom is, just a touch, ridiculous. especially because recently, with things like dteam releasing shroud that calls back to how much sapnap and george fucking with michael fucked up the story for quite a few characters (if they didnt attack him, the kidnapping plot would be.. a LOT more direct and wayyyy less messy and would help with the communication issues that arised), its.. notable that its the ccs fault in quite a few cases?
the ccs often get so focused on fucking with lore frogs, baiting fans, making fans of other ccs angry or distressed because they personally dont give a shit about what their friends made and worked on, that they forget that. this Encourages the fandom to be worse. it encourages people to be cynical, to never believe that the dsmp will get out of drought, to constantly hold ccs to the belief that "soon" means nothing. and notably.. theres been many ccs who talked about dropping things because of a lack of interest
and huh.. i wonder whose job it is to encourage their fellow writers and be aware of the story theyre taking part in, and to show compassion and respect to each others ideas. i wonder if having active engagement and having enough respect to know when its just griefing and when its actively stepping out of line to mess with people could help with ccs like eryn and ranboo and whoever else act on the ideas that their fans are often extremely excited about
i think one of the big problems is that these ccs are forgetting that theyre supposed to collaborate, that yes, even for an improv based story, you have to schedule correctly and not step on each others toes. i sincerely, truly, doubt that it is the fandoms fault that there have been so many times where ccs said "i wanted to do this but i was never able to get a hold of the people i needed to do it with/there was no interest". that is on the ccs to actually give a shit about this story, all of it, not just what theyre working on.
the solution isnt a reboot, it isnt to veer straight into nothing but casual getting on and doing whatever in an attempt to recreate the good times, its to look at the story in its entirety and figure out how to work together to complete the story in a satisfying way. i completely get that ccs are burnt out on dsmp, that quite a few of them are grieving, that the fandom can be toxic and throw fits to the point of making the ccs unable to discern whether theyre doing Enough. but theyre shooting themselves in both feet by not taking any accountability for the fact that the actual big enemy here is the fact that theyre disorganized and wont engage in each others stories in a respectful way anymore
what worked about season one and two was that the ccs made time for each other and that they engaged in each others stories. the ccs wouldnt Have to separate into little groups and solo lore if they would just.. work together to give a big thing or two to work around while paying attention to each others stories
first there was lmanberg vs the greater smp. then manberg vs pogtopia (and from there branched off the badlands and the stories associated with them). then new lmanburg and exile and the beginnings of the egg arc sprouted up and that gave things to do. then there was the egg as a main plot and las nevadas as another thing to work against and what worked there (to an extent) was that ccs engaged in this. even in s3 you can see how many smaller plots ended up arching into the bigger plots of the egg and las nevadas. but s4 is disconnected, even though they had jailbreak to work off of, and thats the issue with it.
set aside times to work on the story, work on intertwining smaller arcs (such as eryns knighting or aimseys connection with death and ghosts and to an extent the past) into the Big Arc of.. what do they want to do about dream? give a chance for every member to learn about what he did and about the history of the server, and youve got yourself a way to make a cohesive story. add in the fact that the badlands and co still have the egg to finish up and youve successfully got yourself two main plots for people to choose between. no reboot necessary just.. communication. thats all

ive been rewatching avatar the last airbender recently and its real good and theres this tiny little action scene in book 3 episode 5 that i think is pretty amazing considering its like 30 seconds long. so i made some gifs and did some breakdown stuff because theres a lot going on i think
Tumblr media
so here it is, starts around 15 minutes into The Beach, the team’s first encounter with combustion man. definitely part of the reason i love this sequence is because its so out of place with what the fire aristocrat teens are doing.
first just the sleeping arrangements. sokka and katara still sleep on mats, tho i think they lost their water tribe sleeping bags when appa was taken. aang always sleeps on the ground, i think because hes a monk. toph sleeps on the ground too, since she feels so at home with the earth.
Tumblr media
extremely cute note: momo cuddled up with toph. smth interesting to think about is that whenever toph is on the ground her “eyes are open,” even when shes asleep. does she mind? clearly its helpful here.
anyway im skipping a few shots. the team perceives combustion man.
Tumblr media
sokka keeps his sword right next to him, goes for it immediately. sokka loves stuff. but not in like a shallow way, he forms genuine connections with objects. he identifies with them a little! “boomerang guy”
Tumblr media
i just think the tone and stakes this sequence communicates is so fucking cool. like aang has to react before anything has actually happened, and even then he only just barely blocks it. like seconds matter in this fight. and how efficiently that idea is communicated!
Tumblr media
and then the last shot of that sequence, its hard to tell exactly what aang does here, he throws up this messy earth wall that explodes immediately. it fits well with how toph taught aang to treat earth as an element: if something is coming at you, you need to stay in its way and stop it. everyone is blown back, sort of. keep an eye on toph…
Tumblr media
yeah, actually she was just going into a combat roll so she could do this. you can catch her start to somersault at the very end of the last shot. kind of an airbender move to go with the flow like that, right? or maybe thats more water. you can just catch her push off the ground and rotate in the air so she can land in her WIDE STANCE. the ground cracks a little where she digs her feet in. god damn toph is cool. check this too: her eyes are closed. they dont need to be open for her to know where the dude is. finally she makes two big motions at the end there.
Tumblr media
the first one pops up a line of sand to give them cover, the second sends a current of earth towards combustion man. neutral jing! early in book 2 king bumi tells aang about neutral jing, the idea that sometimes its useful to do nothing because it gives you time to figure out a plan and act at the right moment. here, despite perceiving the dude first, shes not the first one to attack--but she does do something effective while everyone else is tumbling away.
side note: does that passiveness follow her around a little? like would she maybe tell sokka about her crush on him if she werent so prone to biding her time? i dunno, i cant think of other examples.
Tumblr media
feel like there are a lot of moments when toph and aang have sorta this wordless communication. i guess the reason i even notice is toph is all grumpy and sarcastic, so theres tension between the verbal sparring and the seemless physical communication. anyway you can barely see it here, its aang rushing up to take toph’s place and block the explosion with an air current as she rolls away. katara and sokka are still prone! would love to see an aang-toph solo episode thats mostly silent, just the two of them being extremely effective benders together. can you tell i like toph? do i clearly have a fascination w aggressive weird girl characters
Tumblr media
speaking of unspoken communication. this is smth i think is cool about avatar and other stories where martial arts are a focus, characters can express their personalities very physically. the way katara creates momentum with her sprint and then stops dead, transferring it to the water, is so fukken cool. i maintain that katara is the most consistently offensive bender on the team at this point--toph is about neutral jing, aang can be evasive, but kataras always got a water whip. side note, they really did give her lower back dimples huh.
Tumblr media
i also maintain that katara is the most creative bender on the team given that shes not the avatar. obvs here shes not making octopus arms or ice rafts, but she is iterating on tophs move: she strikes at the guy and she creates a lot of cover, which in this case lasts longer than the sand.
want to acknowledge briefly other stuff going on with avatar, like how it borrows so much from asian cultures but involves so few asian creators or performers, and then how the design of combustion man tries to create an alien/threatening aesthetic with a third eye tattoo…
i think all these things can exist together. concluding tha breakdown, i think the scene is really well-choreographed and clear. i havent said anything about the sound design, theres no music, just peoples footsteps and the extremely good combustion man foley. p impressive imo to stuff all this meaning into such a small amount of time.

super random idea: 141 dead poets society
super messy post, i was sending these as messages to my good friend and he speaks Martin, so sorry if its illegible
what made me think of it was the "oh captain my captain" line, i randomly remembered of it, probably because of prices title, or maybe soaps title in the 2009 game.
them meeting up in the conference room at night and locking the door to talk about the fine things they see in the world and poetry
id like to say i thought price would be a good society captain but im so unsure. he can be very clinical and calm and collected in the way he sees the world but at the same time we know from the time laswell was kidnapped and also from the 2019 game that he can both be spurred by emotion to do something and also does have deep thoughts that hes willing to share once he deems it needed
at first i thought gaz would be the one to start it tho, like be the society captain. i just feel like he would
soap would be an enthusiastic follower i think. hes already into drawing, and does journal. i think hed like talking about things he likes and trying to work on ways he can make words sound prettier, it can be like drawing when he cant draw for him. he writes poetry in his head when he needs/wants to draw but cant
i think that after seeing so many horrible things, a humans brain will need some form of outlet. thats why i love so much that soap draws, he was a football jock and joined the military at 16 but hes also passionate about drawing and journaling and he keeps doing it in military too
human brains needing an outlet thing: soap draws, price smokes, gaz and ghost arent very detailed characters in the sense we know what they like, but i like thinking ghost comes up with little melodies in his head that he never shares with anyone but does hum into a voice recorder, for no reason other than to keep it. he knows he wont make a song out of it, he knows he doesnt want to show it to anyone, yet he records it in a human way to keep things
and i geniunely think gaz reads. i have no proof other than his speaking style but hear me out. he sounds and speaks like someone who read a lot and also liked socialising enough (i know gaz personally guys trust me he likes reading) (also zero proof for ghosts hobby/thing but its just a silly idea for him) (also i think maybe ghost might like dancing too, he can be a silly little guy from what we see from the campaign ads and stuff hes my blorbingo im going to squish him)
gaz sitting on the floor in the dark conference room with only a desklamp on, reading a book out loud for the rest of the team for them to discuss later; soap drawing mindlessly, price finally relaxing and fully enjoying a cigar, ghost leaning against a desk leg and watching how words form on gazs lips as he reads, fully immersed in the story
