BRAIN BLAST

knuckles comes down with an ancient disease that he'll recover from but it'll be a while, and he doesn't want anyone to catch and spread it because it would be devastating to the unprepared immune systems of the average person. the only candidates that can come up to take care of him are robots (he hates that) or shadow (hates that too but less) because of his immunity to disease.

knuckles expects shadow to be mean to him or lord newfound power over him in this state, but he's surprised to find that shadow just... does his job and does it well. he brings a bunch of supplies and respects knuckles' wishes with how he wants the illness to be treated (he prefers traditional echidna medicine, he knows the medicines work and he wants to keep those traditions alive).

the first day, shadow is fucking around on his phone to pass the time and knuckles gets paranoid and demands to know what he's doing. he's just watching youtube videos comparing how motorcycles sound. knuckles continues to be paranoid about shadow being there because he brought tech and is close to rouge. the whole time, shadow has to be within line of sight for knuckles in order for him to feel safe

it's annoying for both of them but also a bonding experience and trust exercise and they both come out of it knowing each other better and respecting each other a little more =)

probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.

we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."

at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.

the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.

the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.

what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.

here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.

#this is true #writeblr #warm up #relatedly for some reason one of our Favorite Jokes #amongst the Siblings #is like - ''this is so good u will love it'' #while we are reacting to something we OBVIOUSLY find viscerally disgusting #like we will be actively retching and be like ''nooooo it's so good'' #to the point that i sometimes get nervous if someone outside my family is like oh u should try it its good #(obvi we never force each other to eat anything. we are all just curious birds and #like. we're GONNA try the new thing.) #edit to answer why we had so much vanilla: #my mom is a very good cook and we LOVE to bake. so she just had a lot of staples in the house. #it's one of those things that's like. have u ever continuously thought ''ah i should get butter im probably out'' #even tho u are not out of butter. so u end up with like 5 years of butter. #my mom would do that in a costco but like with vanilla extract #to be fair we WERE always using WAY TOO MUCH bc we were kids #so like she was right to stock up #ps. yes we were VERY sick after this lol i just didn't want to include it in the post in case ppl had an ick about that #u can tell it's real bc we knew "oh no we fucked up that's too much vanilla to waste'' but our reaction was to just. keep drinking it #> sibling understanding that vanilla extract isn't free > knowledge mother doesnt mind if we use it for milkshakes #> sibling choice to maybe get in a loophole of ''not wasting it'' if we drink it bc that's the same as using it (not throwing it out) #listen bud i was like 13 and my sister was like 9 #when my mom discovered this we. got in. A LOT. of trouble. a lot of it. a LOT of it. #3rd edit bc i guess it isn't clear - i am 1 of my brother's 2 little sisters #i am the middle child #out of all the ways i have had to explain a post before being like ''did u forget a middle child can happen'' is my favorite

Somebody mentioned in a tag on one of my posts the scene where Marco Animorphs is showering after antmageddon and he finds an ant stuck to his hip by the pincers where it presumably was trying to bite him in half when he was an ant and then it died from him becoming very big very fast and I feel like that scene, and the scene where Cassie finds a sliver of a sentient person’s flesh between her teeth while she’s flossing and then flosses until her gums bleed, really deserve recognition in the literary canon. Applegate deserves an award. There should be a TV Trope named after whatever the fuck that is. Like fridge horror but diegetic. Bathroom horror. Your bedtime bathroom routine as an opportunity for personal confrontation with the violent detritus of the dead which lingers in and on your body even after you have ostensibly stripped yourself of weapons and healed over all your wounds.

#animorphs #applegate said what if you could transform your body entirely and literally rewrite your genetic code #but it was not enough to get away from the evidence of the terrible things you have asked your body to do #what then. wouldn't that be fucked up. #and the answer AS ALWAYS is yes katherine it would thank you for asking #if you screenshot my tags transcribe them so help me god

Please intentionally attempt to see the magic in everything. Everything is magic, even if you understand the "boring" reasons why things happen. Look at the magic in growing plants, the magic of your muscles flexing and retracting, the magic of your eyes and skull, the magic of a cat's purr.

It's all magic. Understanding the "why" is just understanding what makes things magical, it doesn't change that it's all significant and magic.

#positivity #this has helped with my sense of aimlessness personally. it isn't even about belief in religion or gd or anything like that #it's about genuine appreciation and enthusiasm for the world and universe you live in #i personally always disliked the 'why feel awe about [thing] when [long technical answer about how it works]' #yes a plant grows through chemical reactions. but that's still magic. why deny yourself awe and wonder? #i can tell you the chemical reactions which make your arm flex. but that doesn't mean it isn't magic💛💛💛

I really want to draw fan art of Crowley in streamer au but afraid I’m not that great at art yet

Is that alright?? 😭😭

Also btw is there anything specific features that go with? I’m not a great reader so I probably missed a lot, and don’t want to make mistakes

omg of course it’s alright! if my thing inspires you to be creative and practise your art, i’ll always be happy for you to draw it / for me to get to see it

his design is pretty simple/close to canon, so there isn’t much to miss 💛 any dark casual clothing will do. he does have the same fashion sense as show!crowley, but because he spends more time at home in front of a computer, we see him dressed down more often. henleys and raglans etc.

he has the snake tattoo on his cheek, he wears yellow tinted eyeglasses or his main set from the show, and his hair is manbun!crowley length. i draw it crimson, but that’s just for the extra pop of colour. draw whatever you like best✨

#the answer is always yes 🥺 #brings me much joy to think that my art or fics or hc could inspire someone else #ineffable streamers #ask a rat

I will headcanon every fictional woman EVER as a lesbian. every single one. except max mayfield. she is THE most bisexual to ever bisexual. congratulations to the brothers duffer for making me fully, completely, and actively believe in her attraction to men

#“you hc EVERY woman as a lesbian? but what about-” yes. the answer is always yes. max is the only exception #it may not always be my most FREQUENT headcanon for the character but it's NEVER an idea that I wouldn't actively fight for. except max #“but what if you like their canon m/f relationship?” her bf is a lesbian too then. #he/him butch that's just how it is I don't make the rules #stranger things #max mayfield #no but it's so funny bc I like lumax MORE than elmax #(JUST BARELY THOUGH I SWEAR I SWEAR IT'S ONLY BARELY THIS IS WHY I LIKE ELUMAX. BEST OF BOTH WORLDS) #like what FUCKING drugs did they put in lucas and max I am snorting it
