The Tale of Oshin - By Arhat (7.5/10)
Tumblr media
A dragon-blessed queen with two powerful, handsome husbands? It sounds too good to be true, because it is. The King who loves her is a brand new ruler who used to be a barbarian, so he is surrounded by enemies. Her dragon husband is even worse. His godly powers are questionable at best. The magic eyes he gave her as a wedding gift don't even work that well. How will Oshin cope with power, with her meek personality, and two deeply flawed lovers?
Oshin is kind of dumb and pretty. Her mother was the same way. Both of them attracted countless men with their naive sweetness and beauty.
Oshin is a terrible Queen. It really shows. She doesn't command respect. She doesn't even punish people who do disrespect her, because she wants the palace to be peaceful.
Tumblr media
Her first husband, King Naskaya, is always away at war too. The King is also close to a female aide named Suren, who is a genius strategist.
Oshin never speaks out against Suren...even though she currently has way too much sway in the palace.
Tumblr media
Naskaya the former barbarian, who now has to step up and be a King, is madly in love with Oshin. This is very bad. He indulges her. He never forces her to learn. Oshin thinks she's an idiot, because she cannot follow along at war meetings...but that's because Naskaya refuses to teach her. He wants his wife safe, happy, and pretty. I'm not saying Naskaya is a bad person. It's very sweet that he cares deeply for Oshin, and her health and happiness....but he is a new King in a volatile land that doesn't fully accept him.
Oshin has no children yet.
Tumblr media
Oshin gets captured by the Dragon...or the salamander. Oshin nursed a little salamander back to health...and it turns out that the little creature was her stalker.
I'm going to be clear here. Dragon is a very boring character who exists to make Naskaya jealous. I do not see his appeal, BUT he does give Oshin her powers.
Tumblr media
The Dragon's Eye is a great blessing. Having Dragon Eyes can allow you to.
- read minds.
- see hundreds of miles away.
- see glimpses of the future.
It's an extremely OP power to have....if you're smart. Oshin isn't smart. She is am uneducated and spoiled wife with no confidence. Also, using the eyes too much makes you sick....so Naskaya doesn't let her use them much. Even when she wants to...
Tumblr media
Naskaya is a big scary barbarian. He does allow Oshin to take the Dragon as her second husband, but he does it to protect her. He knows more people will bother his wife now that she has special powers. Only the Dragon can be trusted to be her bodyguard, basically.
He's way crueler when Oshin isn't around.
When she reads his mind briefly she sees that.
- Naskaya lusts after her to a scary degree.
- He's willing to kill his own family and friends to keep her as his wife.
The truth is to terrifying Oshin, who believed that Naskaya stayed with her out of obligation after he rose to power. He became King after their marriage, but she lived in fear of being tossed aside...because he was away so often.
It's hard for her to accept the truth.
Tumblr media
Oshin has no children....because Naskaya doesn't want her to get pregnant. His mother suffered horribly over the course of multiple pregnancies. If Naskaya wasn't a King it's likely that he would have kept his marriage childless. He finds pregnancy as a whole disgusting and he doesn’t want to put Oshin at risk....even though she actually wants a child with him very much.
Tumblr media
Suren knows Naskaya is a little crazy. She plans to take revenge on him.
Tumblr media
Naskaya killed her true love while he was busy trying to become King.
So she wants his new country to fail.
The rage of a woman is just like that. A slow poison. She is a formidable enemy.
Tumblr media
The Dragon doesn't even appear for ten chapters its hilarious. Also most of the time when Husband #2 is on screen Naskaya is jealous in the corner. The Dragon did stalk Oshin as a salamander, but he's not very intimidating.
It's neat that Oshin has to grow up and demand her Queenly rights. It's neat that Naskaya is overly doting to the point of insanity but the Dragon is reaaaallllyyy boring and the art isn't great.

a list of Good Omens season 2 things from episodes 1-3 that i haven’t seen mentioned in other posts
how much Aziraphale loves music. the way he sighs when his record is interrupted, how he mopes to the front of the shop because he just wanted to listen to the beautiful human creation
the smile Aziraphale has on his face as Jim/Gabriel says “when you don’t know anything at all, and yet you’re totally certain that everything would be better if you were just near one particular person” because yes! he does know! and Aziraphale is so happy to have that knowledge even if he does almost immediately try to hide it
Aziraphale immediately looking to his left when Crowley walks past him in the coffee shop. Crowley is generally to Aziraphale’s left so, naturally, that’s where he looks as soon as he knows Crowley is approaching. but he’s wrong, isn’t he? Crowley walks to the right.
“Give Me Coffee…” material, human pleasure “Or Give Me Death” immortal, heavenly eternity
“no, I would love you to help me. I am asking you to help me take care of him.” Aziraphale isn’t trying to push Crowley away. not with Jim/Gabriel, not with Heaven. he always wants Crowley with him, helping him. and he tells isn’t pretending otherwise anymore
a fly crawling along the bentley’s windshield even before Crowley gets in the car
the deal Beezlebub gives Crowley is the same as the one the Metatron gives Aziraphale, isn’t it? it’s a choice to go back to Hell/Heaven. the difference is in the way Crowley and Aziraphale think. Crowley sees Beezlebub’s olive branch as a trap, a forfeiture of the contented life he has on earth. the system is too broken to be fixed from a position of power. Aziraphale, though, does see it as an opportunity to fix what’s broken
right after Crowley destroys Job’s goats, cores fly away behind him
Aziraphale loves the romantic aspects of love but doesn’t know how to handle the difficult aspects. Maggie says she’s in love with Nina and Aziraphale smiles. Maggie says Nina has a partner, tells him that the situation is complicated, and he sobers, disappointed
the fact that the walls of Job’s home are the same color as the walls in Aziraphale’s bookshop (aka the color of Crowley’s eyes.) the whole of the Job minisope is to tempt Aziraphale. he tries human food for the first time, he works with Crowley for the first time, he lies to Heaven for the first time! everywhere, Aziraphale is met with temptation
Crowley cares for the innocent and the vulnerable. he humors Jemimah and makes her a blue salamander, he refuses to diminish the importance of the goats. when Aziraphale is worried about being a fallen angel, Crowley’s patient
every time Crowley performs a miracle, he draws his hand from the bottom (Hell) up. Aziraphale, however, draws his hand from top (Heaven) down
Michael, Uriel, and Saraqael (and Gabriel when he’s still the Supreme Archangel) wear a cold white. Muriel and Aziraphale wear a warmer, creamier white. except in the Job minisode. then, all the angels wear the warmer white— before Heaven turns cold and institutionalized. even the lighting of Heaven itself changes
Aziraphale invited Michael, Uriel, and Saraqael into the bookshop. they easily could have walked into the shop before Aziraphale got there, but they didn’t. because Aziraphale really does consider the bookshop partially Crowley’s! for the same reason Shax has to trick Aziraphale to get into the bentley, the angels have to wait for Aziraphale to enter the bookshop
Aziraphale popping up from behind the bentley as Crowley approaches and Crowley immediately offering him a “lift somewhere”
in the opening scene of episode three, the reflection just under Jim/Gabriel is “Give Me Coffee…” Gabriel and Beezlebub do get to choose “coffee.” they get to have their joy together
before Muriel interrupts their conversation, the dialogue between Crowley and Aziraphale in the back of the bookshop is shot from behind and over their shoulders. when Muriel opens the door, the angle shifts to face each of them
Aziraphale is not a good city driver.
the look Crowley gives Aziraphale after he turns Elspeth’s stolen body into bones. Aziraphale is so proud of himself, he even tells Crowley “I did a good things!” but Crowley knows better and he’s waiting for Aziraphale to realize the reality. and then the way Aziraphale hugs the jar with the dead boy’s tumor. he cares so much, he wants so desperately to be good and for the world to be good too
Aziraphale is as proud of his “newspaperman” disguise as Muriel is of their “inspector” disguise. how fond Aziraphale is of Muriel because they remind him of himself. a sweet, kind angel who just wants to do the good thing. an angel who is enamored with the human world. even as he and Muriel have tea together, he look at them so kindly. he knows their hesitancy to try human products but he also knows how thoroughly they would love that cup of tea if they’d just taste it
“it’s a bit different when it’s someone you know, isn’t it?” it’s a bit different when it’s not just some demon, when it’s a demon you know is, deep down and just below the surface, good.
that Aziraphale learns just as much from Crowley as Crowley learns from Aziraphale. episode three is Aziraphale beginning to learn the inequality between the wealthy and the poor. episode three is also Crowley learning balance between “the virtues of poverty” and just setting people up for a good life
Crowley, drunk on laudanum, looking for Aziraphale and not finding him because Aziraphale isn’t to his right like he should be. Aziraphale knows to look for Crowley on his left and Crowley knows to look for Aziraphale on his right

Thinking of Secret Life SMP hybrid headcanons right now...
Grian would be a parrotlet. They're the smallest group of parrots and I feel like with how pathetic he's been this season he deserves to be just a little guy. He's still a pesky bird who, as season 6 proved, can definitely cause some mischief despite his reduced size, but he's a little guy anyway.
Jimmy is not a canary. Because, yes, he may have the canary curse, but that's just a fancy name for the curse, not necessarily his hybrid type. No, my man is a dog. He's a goddamn chihuahua. He's all bark and annoying but you take a single threatening step toward him and he shivers in fear.
On the topic of dogs, Martyn is a pomeranian. I'm specifically making him a small dog too because, despite wanting to act cool at the end of session 6, he is still very much the one who was first on yellow and red. My man is not big dog-coded.
Now, unpopular opinion, but Scar is a raccoon hybrid. He's a mischievous chaotic menace of a man. A little criminal ready to scam, commit arson, kill, and steal. He's a raccoon. He hasn't burrowed under anyone's house yet (that I remember at least) but that wouldn't be out of character either. Honestly, I'm appalled by the fact that this isn't a far more popular headcanon for him.
And, before I move on from dogs, Etho is also dog-coded. Specifically an Akbash (big white golden retriever-looking fuckers used for the protection of livestock). I just feel like the protectiveness and overall vibe fit him very well.
Finally, moving on from dogs. Cleo is obviously a zombie hybrid. There are no two ways around it. Though this does allow for my little headcanon that, having to learn on their own skin how to sew they became really good and really quick and they're the ones making all the new outfits for everyone else.
Gem meanwhile is specifically a sculk hybrid. Though I like to think that that came about when she opened the portal. She was a deer hybrid before (mostly because I like the subversion of expectations with a "prey" hybrid so to speak being arguably the most bloodthirsty person on the server) and then it spread like an infection. I figure by now her infected half straight-up looks something like Belos monster for from TOH:
Tumblr media
Scott is something like a Reakirt’s Blue Butterfly. Both because the colors match him, and because he is kinda The Social Butterfly. My man is always out and about mingling with others. He's so friendly that he literally didn't struggle to pull off the "love you" challenge when everyone admitted that no one else would have been able to. It would be a waste not to make him some kind of butterfly at least.
Now, for Impulse I have something less reasoned, I just think the idea of him being an imp called Impulse is way too funny to resist. And he is way more of a mischievous one than I usually see people talk about. I've seen the phasmophobia stream where he killed everyone with the cursed items several times in a row just because he wanted to try them out. I know what he's capable of.
Meawhile his bestie Skizz is so capibara coded it's unreal. Like, don't get me wrong, he's plenty chaotic. But also you will never find anyone more lawful good in the Life Series than him. I've been thinking this since Love Island was founded. My man is the king of chilling with everyone. (Aside from Jimmy, rip Jimmy).
At the risk of being boring, I also like seeing Tango as a salamander hybrid. Exclusively because of the mythological connection between salamanders and fire. Also, the idea that every time he's flying (though it's funnier if it's also when he's simply jumping) he's nothing but a ball of fire with a lizard tail is very funny to me.
BigB is a hard one because I've only watched a couple of episodes from his POV so I'm not quite as familiar with the lore surrounding him as I am with the others. So I'm not sure. I want to say enderman because of his cryptid vibes this season, but he's not one of the characters with the biggest connection to the end. Those are mostly BDubs, Gem, and Lizzie, so I don't know. I'm open to suggestions.
Talking about BDubs, why are there no ender dragon hybrid headcanons for him around? I think it would be incredibly ironic if the dragon slayer was a dragon himself. Also, his house is under the Earth just like the End portals. Trust me, it makes so much sense. He's small but so full of righteous anger.
Pearl is no hybrid, she's literally just a witch. I've seen the WITCH animatic and that fundamentally changed my view of her forever. Before I would have said a moth hybrid of some kind because I do like moth Pearl, but I love that specific interpretation so much it's unreal. She is a witch with an army of hellhounds at her back and call.
Mumbo is a vampire because I've seen some art of vampire Mumbo at some point in time and it hasn't left my head since. Also, he's one of the players with the highest bloodlust every time he turns red. We're 2 for 2 on that with his appearances in the Life series. And it's usually also what leads to his demise. So I feel like that would be fitting for a vampire.
Meanwhile, my dearly beloved blorbo Joel is a honey-badger. This is a headcanon that is incredibly dear to me and I've never seen around but it's literally SO FITTING. The absolute crackhead energy, the lack of self-preservation, and the surprising sturdiness as time and time again he gets himself in impossible situations and still manages to survive until pretty much the end are all that exact honey-badger vibe. Like, just thinking of him summoning a hoard of zombies to fight off several infected and surviving for quite a while in those conditions just, really proves my point. Enough said.
Lizzie meanwhile is a very sad sopping wet cat. Just absolutely miserable. One of those cats who look like they're constantly grumpy. The frown has deepened ever since no one came to her party and she's still frowning in the void of death.

I have some thoughts about the potential direction of Walpurgisnacht Rising after sitting on it for a while and watching the speculation on the part of Madoka fans.
I have a strong feeling that when Homura changes the universe at the end of Rebellion that my old theory has been confirmed, namely that she's only been able to create a pocket in the universe where things are dictated by her. We see this radius of influence when the corruption from her hostile takeover spreads across multiple star systems until solidifying into a sphere.
Tumblr media
This frame of the "mystery girl" also hides an extra detail which may point in that direction, namely a barrier composed of the lizard sigil that represents devil Homura. We already know that Madoka's arrows pierced the veil of the incubation field. Perhaps she's trying to do the same?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Another odd detail is the presence of 2 Homuras. I don't necessarily think this is literal, though. It's possible that a second Homura does actually exist, but most likely only because much like the incubation field Homura's world is shaped based upon her desires and cognition, and this second Homura may be trying to say something about her. But what, exactly? Well, we know that this decision was really hard for Homura, in fact Rebellion implies that she's bordering on suicidal as a result of it. I posit that the second Homura represents her mental conflicts. She loves Madoka and wants to protect her and knows that what she's doing is selfish and that she's imprisoning someone she loves. It's the war that's being waged in her own mind that I think these 2 versions of her represent. I think that's who she's talking to on the phone, in a metaphorical way that's being represented quite literally. Note the way that the voice on the phone implores her to "bring hope" and "release that girl".
Another point of interest for me is the role of incubators in Homura's world. At the end of Rebellion she very openly states that she still relies on incubators as a system, but she's definitely very resentful towards them and is seen abusing one near the end of the film. One detail about the movie that I think is important is the recurring imagery of Kyubey's eyes. Throughout the majority of the film Kyubey is totally silent and we see repeated shots of his glassy, detailed eye. However, when being tormented at the end of the movie the art style changes into something more cloudy and abstract. I've wondered for a while if this would be the start of an incubators developing emotions and potentially contracting itself. I can't say for certain right now if that's the case, given we don't see incubators in the trailer at all, but given they all seem to be trapped in Homura's world with her, we may see something like that emerge in the plot.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Speaking of the incubators, some have brought up the possibility that the contract system now flows through Homura herself instead of Kyubey. It's hard to really verify this yet, but we do have some evidence pointing in that direction, mostly in the form of parallels. Homura's new world is very similar to the incubation field. It even shares some similar golden clockwork aesthetics with it. Note the way the moon is represented split down the middle with clockwork components apparent in the new trailer. I think that this new world is being run much like the incubators did, with Homura in charge of the "experiment". Has Homura become the monster she once hated as a result of her selfishness, trapping Madoka in the very same prison that she was tormented in?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's also potentially significant to mention what the phone Homura uses in the trailer morphs out of: the same salamander seen in Rebellion that is squashed when she turns into Homulilly, except now instead of the typical purple and black tones, it's a bright red. Does this signal a potential rising frustration and anger, perhaps at herself for the reasons I listed above?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The version of Homura that we see in the trailer has a black hairband. Given she answers the phone and seems very confrontational with the person on the other end of the line, we have to assume that the other Homura has the red hair tie that she wore in Rebellion. This is significant because this hair tie belonged to Madoka and she puts it back in her hair near the end of the movie. The ribbon is her only physical memento from Madoka's existence before she became the law of cycles, and if you've read wraith arc you know that Homura has a significant crisis slowly forming that crescendos in Rebellion where she can't prove that Madoka ever existed. This is exemplified by her new memory manipulation magic rather than time manipulation. Remember, she doesn't have time magic anymore. She only had it in Rebellion because the incubation field caused her to develop a world based upon her memories.
Tumblr media
So, if you didn't want to read any of what I wrote above, here's my primary hypothesis for what this movie is gonna be about.
Homura knows that this experiment is deeply flawed and as such her psyche has manifested a second version of her, a more sentimental version that wants this whole thing to come crumbling down and let goddess Madoka take her. In this sense it's quite a bit like Homura trying to figure out the truth behind the incubation field and Madoka and the girls trying to rescue her. But now it's Homura fighting against herself. The black hairband Homura is in charge and the red hairband one takes up the challenge of trying to overthrow her. The mystery girl on the trailer could be Homura. The lighting and framing make her appearance a bit ambiguous, but she has a bow. Many point towards Madoka on that front but Homura also had a bow, featured at the end of the original series. We've just gotten so used to her return to scavenged weapons in Rebellion that this detail has been forgotten. I also feel as though the Walpurgisnacht imagery may be literal in the sense that Homura's imagination may conjure up a transformation, but I think it's intended to be more of a metaphor. Homura's world harkens back to a longstanding theme in the shoe of incredibly powerful beings trying to escape despair through false realities. Homura is the stage master now, whose nature is helplessness (trapped by her own selfishness), and has in a way become the monster she faced so many times. And now she has to stop herself. It may even be possible that the other girls with their altered outfits are allying with this renegade Homura to help her stop herself, much like time loops past. I don't think this will manifest as a time loop where Homura becomes Walpurgisnacht because her existence was represented by a gramophone in Rebellion, aka a broken record. And at the end of the movie it literally explodes because she's shattered literally any chance of this loop happening again. This is the end for all of them.
I think this hypothesis is headed in the right direction but ir definitely neglects some details in the trailer, such as the finer points of the girls and their altered designs, the mystery girl, the role of the incubators and the second Homura, as well as if these signs that I've taken as metaphor may be more literal than I assume. I'm hoping that others can help fill in these gaps for me. Maybe by the time the movie releases we'll have predicted the entire meat of it, lol.

Jiraiya Trained Teamed Seven is sticking in my brain in the best way! like would they all eventually get sage mode? do they all end up summoning frogs, but having a secondary summon too? Like Sasuke's hawks, maybe Naruto gets foxes and Sakura gets... Salamanders??? I don't Know! Also Team 7 Flirt-fight where they each try to flirt successfully with as many of the Konoha 12 as Possible, because Jiraiya may have taught those brats a bit TOO well :P
The Jiraya trio might just be my favorite, for how *free* I imagine them. And these questions are perfect actually~
Sakura and Naruto learn senjutsu, Sasuke gets the basics but never goes to far into it and chooses to learn more about sharingan tecniques.
They do all sign the toad summon contract and I like to believe they'd each get a frog who favors them and usually pair ups. Maybe Gamakichi for Naruto and Gamatatsu for Sakura, since Sasuke is the first to start with summonings he'd leave the two with them for communication and stuff... Then he's team up with Gamabunta :9
For other summons I thought exactly the same, for Sasuke to get his other original ones (maybe even snakes? Or sign a contract with lady Katsuyu for emergencies), and then Naruto with foxes!!! Yes!! But Sakura hehehe she goes back to their roots and gets DOG SUMMONS! (bringing back her little pack with Momo, Pumpkin and Umeboshi!)
Sakura flirting around was already a beautiful concept, and Sasuke flirting around is hilarious straight out of road to ninja... All of them flirting around and with the other konoha teams (and suna and anyone really) LOVE IT. Bisexual menace team 7! Add Sai to the mix and the 4 will have amazing tine bonding over trying to teach him to also flirt and put his good looks to use!

Fuck JK Rowling but it makes me so angry to think we could have had a complete Fantastic Beasts series with an autistic lead who isn’t a total stereotype, who is loveable, who has a love interest instead of just being infantilised…and instead we’re getting a seven season Harry Potter reboot/remake that no one asked for or wanted on HBO Max.
Tumblr media
When I was going through the process of my autism diagnosis, feeling anxious and worried about what being diagnosed would mean, knowing that Newt Scamander - a character who is adored by so many in a major franchise - was being played as autistic helped me tremendously. I saw much of myself in Newt, and it made me feel seen that an autistic person like myself could be the hero, that Newt wasn’t a joke or stereotype. It was so important to me coming to terms with my diagnosis that a character I loved was like me and not limited by being autistic.
I’ve mentioned this before but on the opening day of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore in the UK, there was a boy on the row in front of me. When Newt came onscreen, he started bouncing and flapping his hands excitedly - like me, he was autistic and saw himself represented on the big screen.
“But Luna Lovegood” - you know what, controversial but fuck your “but Luna Lovegood”. Her actress sided with the TERF, and Luna is NOT confirmed to be autistic, it’s just a popular fan headcanon. Meanwhile Newt Scamander has been confirmed by Eddie Redmayne (not JKR, fuck her) to be on the spectrum. I’m not saying she definitely isn’t because I can definitely see it, and it’s wonderful autistic people can relate, but I’m talking about a character who is intentionally written and portrayed as autistic instead of just fan headcanons.
Tumblr media
What does having a love interest have to do with this? Believe it or not, this isn’t me just being a shipper: too often are autistic people infantilised, as if we can’t love other people or that people are incapable of loving us. But - as anyone following me most likely knows - Newt Scamander has a love interest, Porpentina “Tina” Goldstein, who he’s canonically married to in the future. They even have a grandson who is called Rolf and marries the aforementioned Luna.
In the three films, we only got a few scenes (and then JK Rowling cut Tina out because Katherine Waterston called her out on multiple occasions for being a transphobe) of Newtina but what we got showed that not only is Newt capable of forming a romantic attachment but also Tina clearly loves Newt as he is, quirks and all. She understood his odd compliment of “salamander eyes” because she knows his special interest is magical creatures and it’s his way of saying he adores her eyes. She read his book and genuinely made an effort to learn because she knew magical creatures were important to him, and we saw her grow from thinking he was writing an “extermination guide” to giving him the name for his book, “Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them”. My girl Tina LOVES Newt for who he is and always has, and that’s beautiful.
Tumblr media
Seeing an autistic person not only fall in love - he spends the whole of the 2nd and 3rd films lamenting on how beautiful she is, talking about her and with her picture in his pocket/suitcase - but also being loved for who they are is something so rarely seen and is so important.
I’ll be the first to hold my hands up and say that the second and third Fantastic Beasts movies weren’t the greatest, by the way. I will agree to that. The first one seems like a damn masterpiece in comparison, even with its problems, but I’m still angry.
The fact that JK Rowling’s bigotry has contributed to losing this rare example of autistic representation in a major mainstream franchise is something no one talks about when discussing her actions, and it hurts that no one seems to care about canon autistic representation.

y’all have it all wrong. the moral of amphibia, the overall message, is not “if you love something, you have to let it go.” the case is seemingly quite the opposite, too - it can be argued that sasha, anne and marcy’s “friendship” from the start was really codependent and that they didn’t accept each other in the same way once they showed their true colors and things went back to normal, where they recognized the world outside of their little group.
the moral isn’t even about growing up. though it takes place within the coming-of-age story of anne, the simple fact that it takes place in this time of a child’s life simply puts emphasis on the themes discussed. anne “grows” mentally and emotionally, but the whole coming-of-age thing is only discussed through 3a.
and i know its hard, because we have a largely neurodivergent social media fanbase who dread the idea of growing up, and honestly, as someone who struggles with interests and separating fiction from reality, letting go of the past, and being forced into the adult world when you’re not quite ready, i get it. but it’s not telling you to “grow up.” it’s not even saying that you’ll eventually have to leave everything you love in favor of the new, scary things.
it’s about sprig plantar, whose adventures as a boy cause him to make a difference in his own town and discover his own world, inspired by his big sister to continue the adventures in her name.
it’s about general yunan, scourge of the sand wars, defeater of- well, you get it, and lady olivia, two very solitary salamanders, who are able to recognize... well, each other, thanks to the human girl which they worked together to save, the one who helped save their world... and how the two of them, thanks to her, are able to settle down in a farmtown and share a life together.
it’s about andrias leviathan, who learns to love, yet still exiles himself because of what he’s done and is able to face the consequences of the suffering he’s caused.
it’s about captain grime, who learns to respect himself and the people around him because of some girl who showed him the meaning of friendship, who he nearly sacrificed his life for.
it’s about sasha waybright, who grows to become a child psychologist, being there for other people the way no one was there for her.
it’s about marcy wu, whose journey of a lifetime inspires her to be an artist who creates the sort of things she once enjoyed.
and it’s about anne boonchuy, who takes amphibia with her in every possible way.
above all, amphibia is about how nothing you love ever truly leaves you behind. why? because you’ll always have those experiences. no matter what, they’ll always find their way back to you. they change you, inspire you, and because of that, saying goodbye is never truly a goodbye.

Day 5- Forbidden Love
Tumblr media
Obligatory Tags: @our-newdream @autumn-sundrop @seadrreams @the-writer1988
For today’s prompt I decided to do a small drabble! This takes place in an au where Eugene was pardoned, but isn’t allowed to date Rapunzel or be in the palace. For now at least, Frederic wants to try out a few suitors for Rapunzel. It was inspired by this particular concept art, because it’s really cute and I love it XD
~~~~~
“Let me guess, date with Prince Bradley didn’t go like you hoped?” Cassandra asked as she glanced down at the full cup of tea.
“Oh, nono, it was fine!” Rapunzel quickly reassured, “Well..until he called Pascal a salamander.” Ahhh, so that’s why he’d been red all day.
“Could be worse. Your dad could be setting you up with one of the princes from the Southern Isles.” Cass tried to cheer her up.
“I know, but I don’t want a prince from the southern isles. I don’t want any stuffy old prince.” Rapunzel replied, “They’re nice and all, but I….they just don’t understand me. And they’re WAY too interested in my hair. I keep telling them, it doesn’t heal anymore.”
Cassandra frowned, her heart breaking at her friend’s misery. She didn’t like this any more than Rapunzel did, but neither of them had any choice. Rapunzel had to find a suitable prince to marry, and Cassandra had to act like she was in full support of it.
“I just wish I could be with someone who loved me. Not the princess.” Rapunzel sighed, falling down onto her bed. Without even looking, she reached her hand under her pillow and pulled out a small flag. The flag Eugene bought her for her birthday. He’d given her the kindest smile when he handed it to her, and chuckled when she held it up to the light.
“It’s no lanterns, but any true devil may care rogue makes sure to get the birthday girl a present, Blondie.” She recalled him saying.
“Yeah I know, Raps.” Cassandra responded, “But…sometimes life doesn’t always work that wa-“
“Oh, Rapunzel! Let down your hair!” A familiar voice sang out.
“Lance! I told you not to sing!” They heard Eugene mutter. Cassandra and Rapunzel gave each other a look and headed outside to the balcony. To their surprise, they found a familiar pair of faces scaling the tower to Rapunzel’s room, bickering to each other about a dramatic entrance.
“Eugene! Lance!” Rapunzel cried out happily.
“And there’s the someone, right on cue.” Cassandra snarked, “Looks like he was preening a little extra today.”
“You know what Cassandra?” Eugene started to retort, but his voice died in his throat a little as he laid eyes on Rapunzel.
“Hey..” he whispered.
“Hi!” She chirped, her smile shining brighter than the sun. Eugene couldn’t help but find himself smiling back. She looked So beautiful with the sunset behind her like this, practicality bathing her in a halo of light. From up there she looked like an angel. That stunning dark purple dress that brought out her beautiful eyes. Those gorgeous freckles that perfectly painted her rosy cheeks. Short bubble sleeves like the one on that dress complimented her so well. She should wear them more often.
“What brings you and Lance out her?” Rapunzel asked.
“Damaging stone that’s hundreds of years old…and breaking into the palace…again.” Cassandra added dryly.
“Well a little birdie, or rather frog, told Eugene that you had a bad day.” Lance explained.
“So I brought a picnic!” Eugene announced. He moved his arm to grab the basket so he could show her, but then his arm flew right back to the arrow lodged in the wall as soon as he felt himself falling.
“And I’m here for musical ambience!” Lance announced proudly.
“And I’ve also got some candles too!” Eugene added, “And lanterns in case you wanted those instead of candles. But both are very romantic.”
“Exactly how long have you guys been scaling the wall like this with all this stuff?” Rapunzel asked.
“Uhhh….2 hours?” Eugene answered, “But don’t worry, my arms aren’t tired at all.”
Rapunzel barely stopped herself from giggling, “Do you want to climb my hair?”
“…Yes please, this is killing me.” Eugene finally whimpered, looking up at her like a kicked puppy. Rapunzel let the giggle out this time, and let her hair fall down from the balcony. Eugene quickly abandoned the arrows and grabbed on, now climbing much quicker. Rapunzel couldn’t help herself from leaning over the railing as Eugene finally made it to the balcony. Her heart soared as their eyes met and they smiled at each other. He must’ve gotten closer without her realizing, because before she knew it his lips were on hers. She giggled once more and happily kissed him back, her hands rising up to hold his face.
“Hey.” He purred when she pulled away.
“Hi…” she whispered, her cheeks flushing.
Lance chuckled to himself as he saw the scene, walking over to Cassandra as the two love birds pulled their picnic out.
“I doubt the King will ever approve of this.” Cassandra warned him quietly, “He’ll never allow them to be together.”
“Are you gonna say anything, goody two shoes?” Lance teased, but the twinkle in his eyes gave him away that he already knew the answer.
“I won’t say anything if you won’t.” Cassandra said anyway, “Besides, what they do when the king isn’t looking is their business.”

Call me a narc, but I generally feel as if the Twitter Takeovers have gotten increasingly more unfunny the more we got? I haven't even watched the last one, but it's the fact that the fandom takes everything they like and runs with it as if it's canon that bothers me... because "everything they like" ranges from dumb quips (Sonic liking Mongolian throat singing or hating Amy's shortcake despite neither having been shown in the games before ever, for example) to statements immediately seen as shipping (hi, Sonadow), to blatant mischaracterizations (I know we got the one ShTH advertisement with Shadow dancing but do you truly think he's gonna be singing and dancing at a concert?), to IDW being canon (Starline mention...), and everything inbetween. And now Amy's cards suddenly being her "hyperfixation", even though there's a million posts on Tumblr alone why a hyperfixation is not just a quirky synonym to "being deeply invested in a hobby". I don't know, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Of course they're just meant to be funny (unfortunately not forgotten in the grand scheme of things, because TMOSTH mentioned Shadow and his coffee bean thing, alas), but it feels as if the creators of the sketches think they are funny by mangling the characters and coming up only with the stupidest out-of-this-world nonsense that the fandom runs with it because it is stupid and out-of-this-world, you know? I want to like them, but... not like this, so to say. Not when the characters are not getting actual respect and the fandom becomes insufferable through it on top, if I may be blunt.
Real talk: Eggman gushing about Sage, literally saying that she is the reason he keeps existing, plus fans "booing" Sonic for laughing at such sappiness, makes me want to drink concrete.
bro. bro really. I thought Flynn confirmed that Eggman's appreciation for Sage is purely self-masturbatory? That he's only proud of her because she's such a big accomplishment and a testament of his genius? That Frontiers showing Eggman getting choked up at the thought of losing her, calling her "dear daughter" in a somber tone, and the DLC's new ending showing them holding hands, didn't mean that Eggman in that game had been warped to develop genuine fondness for Sage, and it was actually all as self-centered as Eggman should be? :^)
(also I don't get why he would love the Egg Salamander, of all things. Didn't he build it together with Nega? As much as I like Rush, it feels like a shoehorned reference for the sake of being semi-obscure.)
And even if, even if I accept that this is completely non-canon and for the sake of a joke... other fans won't. Because "everything is canon". Shadow canonically likes to eat raw beans. Amy is canonically neurodivergent (or she canonically misuses medical terms). Sonic canonically has nightmares about not being appreciated, which might I add was a scene deadass stole from Boom, the show that had no pretenses of being canon whatsoever. Eggman canonically adores Sage as his own darling daughter. Starline canonically exists in the gameverse. I canonically am done with this.
Honestly, from what little I've seen, this Takeover was so OOC and just unfunny that the concept has completely lost his charm. What's the appeal of asking question to the game cast, if the game cast simply doesn't behave like they would and they are twisted for the sake of memes and "how do you do fellow kids"?
oh and the shiptease is out of control. at one point amy talks about going at a concert with shadow which makes sonic jealous, in that "NO EVERYTHING IS FINE" way. this is literally 2000s-tier shadamy and the reason i to this day am sour about that ship. save me, save me, save me, can't face this life alone.

Dcfdtl headcannons, I love them very much
Bruce
Bruce loves comics, those super hero action comics that all the boys read he loves them.

She likes martial arts but father doesn’t let her do it.
The bow she wears is from her baby toy that father threw away, saying it was to childish for her so she now wears the ribbon.

She stims by clapping her hands and fist shaking.
She had to sleep with the door closed she has a sort of fear that someone will watch her sleep otherwise.
When she sleeps she likes to be smushed in the middle and all snug and cozy.
She loves loves loves Christmas because the cozy feeling and lights she loves them.
She’s very neat and tidy and likes things to be organised.
Lenny
His helmet is a sensory thing, not only does it hide scars from father but it blocks out noise and light and he likes the gentle pressure on his head.
His favourite texture is minky he adores it and has a blanket made of it that he often curls in when having a meltdown.
He’s the most prone to meltdowns out of them all, the next is Bruce.
He loves to play in the mud and find bugs with Bruce.
He’s closest with David often seeking him out when he’s upset or in the middle of a meltdown.

He loves to sing and finds music soothing.
Has a fascination with newts and salamanders, he thinks their funny lil things that are awesome in so many ways.
He sucks his thumb when he sleeps hence his need for braces and headgear.
David
Davids bangs cover his eyes so he doesn’t have to make eye contact, father says it’s rude not to when you talk but he can’t do it so he grew his hair out so no one can tell.
He loves faux fur like faux fur coats and such finding the weight and feeling amazing.
He has a weighted blanket.
He stims by fiddling with his hands and repeating words someone’s said, like if someone says Tuesday, he’ll repeat it to himself quietly. Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday.
He loves to play piano and often plays for Lenny.
He doesn’t like bright lights in his eyes which his bangs also help out with but bright flashy lights give him sensory overload.
He’s prone to going nonverbal when meltdowns occur.
He likes to do Alexandra’s hair for her and Constance too.
He loves rainy days and gloomy weather finding it most peaceful that way.
All
They all love to draw and doodle, coming up with drawings of weapons and them destroying the knd.
They all like the smell of lavender and use a mist on their pillow at night.
All of them are on the spectrum and help one another with all their meltdowns and listen to each others rambles.

katipō: joel miller and spidey!thena hcs.
summary: just some cute and fun headcanons about spidey!thena and joel's relationship + some hcs regarding athena herself within the katipō-verse, hope y'all enjoy!
pairing: joel miller and athena kallis (OC).
warnings: FLUFF! some suggestive material if you squint but mostly fluff. mentions of death. age gap mention.
tlou-verse: a masterlist.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
first thing's first: there is an age gap between these two with athena being around 24/25 and joel being 47, almost pushing his 50s.
athena is māori 
athena has an arm tattoo that represents her culture and where she's from. she also has a scar under her eye she got from a past enemy.
she's demisexual!
athena's favorite animal is the wrybill, a bird that's native within new zealand, where she was born. her spidey suit's colors actually represent the wrybill: white, black and gray.
the spiderling is 5'5, a short queen!
athena's spiderling name is "The Katipō".
she keeps a dagger with her at all times too, the handle carved in honor of her heritage. the dagger was her mother's before she died, one gifted to her by athena's uncle ari. the dagger, itself, has katipō venom laced into it as well
she also has a blind salamander named palo, she sometimes calls him matty too
speaking of animals, joel has a calico cat named franklin! athena ADORES franklin.
when joel comes to terms with athena being 'The Katipō", he steps up as her "medic" in sense. he'll stitch her up from time to time or clean any wounds she has, he's gentle with her too, all he wants is for her to be okay.
when she's not swinging around the city and saving the day, athena's is wildlife biologist, staying late if she needs to. as their relationship develops further, joel will usually be the one to pick her up. sometimes he'll even bring in late lunch/dinner for her, staying to eat with her as well. they'll talk about their day and just enjoy being in each other's presence.
their love language for one another is physical touch, sometimes words don't even need to be said between them, just touch.
speaking of touch, joel will pat or soothe athena's shoulder as a way of reassurance, basically saying "everything will be okay" without even having to say it.
athena does eventually move in with joel (when he finds himself a place within seattle) and when she does, she brings some goodies with her, more specifically a record player and polaroid camera. when joel isn't looking, athena will snap some pictures of him, she adores them! and when the record player is on, they'll sometimes dance in the middle of the living room, holding onto each other as the sounds of music fills in the room.
joel likes to press multiple neck kisses against athena, she loves it and sometimes those neck kisses result in something more within the bedroom....🤭
anxiety likes to creep up on joel at times so, there are moments where athena's hand will be pressed against his chest to calm him. feeling her soft hands against him makes him feel a lot better.
athena likes wearing joel's flannels and sweaters a lot, joel teases her about wearing them at times but he doesn't mind, they look good on her!
athena absolutely loves running her hands through joel's hair, she does it so much that she manages to make it all messy at times. she likes the fluffy hair look on him.
joel def gets touchy in bed, he lovesssss worshipping athena's body while also still being gentle with her. he'll whisper sweet affirmations in her ear as she clings on to him, feeling her up softly.
joel never thought he'd find love again. after sarah's mother left him behind to take care of sarah himself, he figured love wouldn't come back into his life again. plus, after sarah's death, everything was bleak for a while but, athena came into his life and he felt at peace. athena was his everything and he was hers.
Tumblr media
notes: there you have it, some headcanons on these two that I had fun making! I really hope y'all enjoyed reading these if you did, please let me know, I'd love to know your thoughts! 💜

I love Dungeon Meshi so much because Laios is just a monster fan and he legitimately gets mad when someone says something untrue about his precious scrunglies like "NO!!! A SALAMANDER WOULD MOVE THIS WAY ACTUALLY *FUCKING DOES IT HIMSELF, PERFECTLY ACCURATE ALSO*" and then Marcille just looks like she's going to blow him up with magic any second.

I'm just eating my burrito here, and scrolling at some stuff, when I just had the cutest au for a rottmnt x reader.
COFFEE SHOP AU / MOTORCYCLE AU
Tumblr media
Now, I know what you're thinking, Motorcycle and coffee shop!? How does that work? Well my fellow friends I shall tell you how.
This post will mainly be about how you guys meet. If you want, you may ask specifically about a turtle and y/n's relationship or for a part 2 but otherwise this is focused on how you and the turtles meet.
So let's set the setting, now that we got that covered. Shall we?
So let's say you work at this little dinner downtown New York. It's nice and quaint, and you've worked there for a while now.
You honestly loved the dinner, it had a beautiful view of the sun setting along the bay, and you have become well acquainted with your more common customers.
You just had finished taking some dirty dishes to the back, now writing down a customer's order when they walked in.
Now, you knew about the Krang attack, heck everyone in New York knew about it. Yokias finally emerged from the Hidden City to help the people of New York, rebuilding the city faster than imagined. And after putting a few misteps aside, New York was grateful, and only some bystanders to voice their disgust about the creatures.
And what about heroes that saved the earth from an alien attack?
Fucking Famous.
The turtles couldn't even walk out of a store without a horde of reporters up their tails, heck even Leo was tired with all the attention.
It took a while for everyone to cool down, only most citizens asking for an autograph or selfie from the hero's. (And yes, they have their own paparazzi, what kind of person do you take me for?)
The boys were busier than ever before, chasing yokias and humans down who think they can easily overpower the new open city. Was it so hard to get a break once in awhile?
Apparently it was.
So, a simple ride around town after a long fight seemed like a good way to cool off. Just hop into a little dinner, grab some grub and hop out. Easy.
At least that's what they told themselves.
You stared wide eyed at the figures rolling in. The customer who you were taking the order of choked at seeing the fourth figure file into the small dinner, having to duck down to not hit the ceiling.
They were wearing smooth black leather jackets, a different color of their choice for highlights.
You looked toward the cashier register, hoping to have someone to help you out-
..and your coworker silently darts into the kitchen because Fuck No They Look Scary You're On Your Own Bitch.
You were sure to get them back for that later.
It was obvious that they were Yokias, even at their feeble attempt to cover it up. You side eyed them as they settled in one of the back booths, taking note of a spiky tail where the larger one sat.
Taking a deep breath, you straighten yourself.
It's fine
You started to walk over.
Not all they say on the news is true. What about that old salamander the other day? She was sweet.
You bit your lip anxiously as you pulled out your notepad. Time seemed so fast seconds ago, now it felt like every step you took was echoing though the dinner.
Yeah, but she wasn't ten feet taller than you!
One of the smaller masked figures seemed to notice you walking towards them, hushing the others.
They all seemed to get the sign as they quickly shrunk deeper into their jackets, you couldn't help but suppress a smile.
It was fine, they are just shy. Stop getting so worked up Y/N..
You scowled yourself, finally you stood before them . Whipping out your special pen, you smiled.
"And what can I get you, kind gentleman this evening?"

Salamander’s girlfriend -Natsu Dragneel
Tumblr media
You are a Wizard from a not so well known guild. Your Boyfriend, Natsu Dragneel was a higher classed wizard in the famous guild in magnolia, Fairy Tail. Some people see that it is not suitable for a Powerful Dragon Slayer to date a lower ranked wizard like you which causes you to have insecurities. So for once in your life, you decided a change would be nice.
You carries the bag of goods in your arms as you walked on your back home. You hummed a tune as you took in the breeze. A group of girls who looked not much older than you walked by whispering as they saw you.
“Hey.. That’s apparently Salamander’s girlfriend”
“Really? Her?”
“Man I thought she’d look better than that”
“Same.. Salamander is way out of her league”
“For real”
Laughter filled the air as they were soon out of ear. Your chest felt heavy and soon you started doubting yourself once again. They were right. Natsu was way out of your league and you had no idea why he was still with you at this point. You don’t have nice clothes, you usually wear a crop top hoodie and high waist shorts along with ankle boots.
You don’t style your hair. You don’t wear much make-up, only lip gloss and some eyeliner if you feel like it. You don’t have a flashy type of magic either. You’re not in a strong and famous guild. You didn’t know what was good about you for Natsu’s image. 
You didn’t even realize when you had reached your house. Your house was one thing you were proud of. It used to be plain and average but you managed to decorate it and now everyone in the neighborhood was jealous.
You didn’t wait a single second before unlocking the door and letting yourself in. You kicked your shoes off and placed the bag of goods on the kitchen table before making your way into the bathroom. You took a nice and refreshing shower before drying yourself off and stepping out of the bathroom.
You opened your closet and dug through the piles of clothes that you never seem to be able to keep organized. You pulled out a white tank top, an orange button up shirt, a pair of white high waist shorts and last but not least a red headscarf.
You put the tank top on and slip on the button up, you kept it unbuttoned but you tied the hem of the shirt together. You put on the shorts and walked over to your shoe cupboard, pulling out a pair of white knee high boots with red details and designs on it. You walked over to your dressing table and tied the headscarf on your head whilst in front of the mirror.
Once you were finished you turned on your heel and looked at yourself in the full length mirror which stood across from your dressing table. You looked stunning and you were proud of yourself. I am gonna make sure all of them choke on their words.. I will make sure I am worthy of being Natsu’s girlfriend.
To add some finishing touches you put some light make-up on before praying yourself with you and Natsu’s favorite perfume. Obviously, Natsu doesn’t wear female perfume but he likes this scent on you. He says that it suits you.
You looked at yourself in the mirror one last time before heading out the door. Natsu was gonna be back from his job today and you wanted to see his reaction to your glow-up. People stopped to look and stare as you passed by. They weren’t used to seeing you dressed up.
You opened the double doors to Fairy Tail guild with excitement bubbling inside you. A few of the Fairy tail members also stopped to look before looking away when they remembered that you were a taken lady by none other than their own star wizard. Mirajane approached you with a big smile on her face.
“Y/n! I love your new look, you look gorgeous!” She said. “Thank you Mirajane! I couldn’t take everyone downgrading me all the time” You said with a small, shy smile. It happens when a gorgeous lady calls you gorgeous. You looked around the guild for a certain pink haired boy.
“Looking for Natsu?” She questioned. You nod and look at her for answers.
“He’ll be here soon, want something to drink?” She asked. “Sure” you said and followed her to the bar. She doesn’t even ask what you want. You’ve been here enough times to know what you would order. She make your cool drink and slid it over to you. You thanked her and sipped on it.
You spent the next few minutes talking to her and gray who joined you two later on. That was until the doors burst open and a certain someone stomped in happily singing. “WE ARE BACKK!!” 
Natsu, Happy and Lucy entered the guild. Natsu looking as energetic as always. Happy munching on a fish whilst Lucy was looking exhausted. Natsu was quick to smell the all too familiar fragrance of your perfume. His eyes darted around the place before his eyes locked with yours.
He blinked in disbelief for a second before his lips formed a massive grin. He ran over to you and you stood up from the stool. His body crashed into yours as he pulled your into a tight embrace. “Y/N! You’re here! I missed you- and woah you look hot” Natsu said as he pulled away to take in your appearance.
“The Pirate Bandana looks cool!” Happy said as he flew over and sat on the bar counter. “Thanks! I decided to finally not let anyone talk bad about me again, and ya know.. look the part” You said and winked at them. “Who has been talking bad about you? I’ll beat them up!” Natsu suddenly burst. 
Mirajane glared at him which made him shut up. “What do you mean look the part?” Natsu asked as he sat on top of a stool and pulled you closer. “People have expectations for me ever since I got the title ‘Salamander’s girlfriend’ I wanted to look exceptional..” You trailed off upon realizing that it sounds stupid.
“Man who cares about what they think anyways, I don’t like you for your looks or anything, I like you for you and that’s all I care about. And that’s all you should care about as well” Natsu said.
You couldn’t stop yourself from smiling widely at his words. “Curse you babe, You’re making me cry! I worked hard on my make-up ya know!” You laughed and blinked away your tears, mumbling a small “I love you”
“I love you more” He grinned and kissed your cheek before grabbing your hand and pulling you towards the door. “Where are we going?” You asked. “I am going to show my Beautiful girlfriend off to the world” He said and exited the guild with you, making the others ‘awe’
