#and possibly failing miserably

[whumpshaped]

thinking about whumpee who just wants to engage in freaky funtime. they've gone through the horrors and they never want to go through them ever again- but being afraid is so very fun and they're badgering caretaker for it endlessly. but whenever caretaker demonstrates any willingness, whumpee immediately goes "but it'd just be play, right? it'd be pretend?" making caretaker think that maybe it's just not a good idea. whumpee just seems so anxious. it's like they love the idea of it, but any talk of execution makes them recoil.

still, they eventually work out an arrangement. whumpee is jittery as ever, testing out the safeword a thousand times to see whether caretaker would really stop. they say it before and after caretaker is finished tying them to the chair, they ask "but it's all pretend, yeah? you're not mean for real? it's all bluffs?" another hundred times, then they follow it up with "no, i do want this, i do, i just wanna make sure it's not too scary, or real"

and then caretaker gets into the rhythm, and whumpee is immediately captivated. all that nervous energy that should absolutely be there during play like this just vanishes almost without a trace. whumpee looks the calmest they've looked in a long while, and caretaker can barely believe that someone can be this calm watching them play with a knife and throw out threats

#im trying to convey a very specific mental image here #and possibly failing miserably #i see it so clearly #i feel like a fortune teller staring into a plane of existence no one else can see #while being blind to the real world and just flailing and trying to explain what i see #but everything comes out in vague cryptic messages and riddles #maybe thats why they talk like that #its just hard to convey stuff #whump #whump prompt

Role-reversal AU where Machete opens a library on Florence and slowly becomes a very influencial local political figure, while Vasco's parents become fed-up with his "lifestyle" and send him away to the clergy (he probably has a brother in this AU, to make their decision more believable)

They reconnect in a similar way to the original, but their relationship is much more tragic as Vasco became self-hating and thinks he corrupted/doomed Machete in their youth and meanwhile, this Machete is trying to protect him from the corrupted side of the Church and possible assassination plot, that he's too indoctrinated to see happening around him

A interesting ending for this AU should be that Machete still dies, but results in Vasco finally running away from the clergy/inquisition (not sure if Vasco joins the inquisition or not, you can decide) and hiding in the country-side. Where he grows old dedicating various paintings and poems to Machete and possibly taking care of some noble's horses for a living

.

#that's interesting #Machete could potentially really shine in politics I can see that being a thing #but Vasco would most likely have miserable time in the clergy #the pressure and guilt and expectations would break his spirit #even if he doesn't always get along with his parents his family relatives and social bonds mean a lot to him #he wouldn't take it well if he felt like he had failed his parents #and was subsequently pushed into a profession that forbids personal relationships #Machete would have hard time watching him and comparing the young jovial Vasco he used to know to his current dejected state #but in this situation it might be more possible for them to escape together #Machete can't leave the church because he's been indoctrinated from early childhood and has never had any life outside of it #Vasco's relationship with religion is a lot less intense he might be able to detach mostly in one piece #and look after horses for the rest of his days #answered #anonymous #Vaschete scenarios #Machete the librarian #he'd love that

Nothing will ever rewire my brain like c!Schlatt screaming "Make it hurt!" at c!Tubbo's execution

#+ c!Techno saying hed try and make it as painless as possible (though he failed miserably) #like. how long did cschlatt know. do you think he was nicer to ctubbo in the days leading up to the festival to make it hurt him more #''make it hurt'' from someone who cared about next to nothing. means everything. #like. which is worse for ctubbo. cDrm seeing him as nothing but an object to use to get ctommy to comply? #or cSchlatt wanting to make him hurt! wanting to watch him suffer! eanting to see him yell for help while no one saves him! #and the thing is i dont think cSchlatt ever really wanted that!!!!!! he wanted to make the execution hurt like cTub's betrayal hurt him!! #the way BOTH cSchlatt and cDrm treat him is bc hes so ride or die for Tommy. everything all the time with cTub comes right back to cTommy. #doodle.txt

Sometimes Les Mis being a musical is really funny to me because it leads to these really weird scenes that only make sense in a musical. My favorite of these has got to be near the end of Who Am I when Valjean gets to the trial. Of course Javert has to be there so there doesn’t have to be a separate scene of a messenger telling him about Valjean. But that means that he’s literally just there to observe. He can’t do ANYTHING. While Valjean is singing the really long note at the end of the song, Javert just has to politely wait until the singing is done. Even then, when Valjean runs off, Javert can’t immediately chase after him because then how would Valjean get to Fantine’s death scene with so much time to spare. It’s so silly.

#in-universe explanation: Javert’s brain stopped working for a minute like in the book #“He was stupefied; thought and speech alike failed him; the sum of possible astonishment had been surpassed.” #les mis #les miserables #musicals

Young Masriel au [part 6: the green-eyed monster]: in which Marisa gets jealous over Asriel meeting with certain witches in the North and tries to make him look bad in front of her husband. Unfortunately, and to Marisa's surprise, Asriel has been paying attention and likes to play this game as much as she does. He should've anticipated she'd be angry about this. Completely hypocritical of course, since she's the one that's married here. First she couldn't get rid of him fast enough, and now she's acting as if he put her through the worst betrayal imaginable. If she wants to play dirty though, he's more than willing to participate. He's been watching her when she thinks no one is looking. Her daemon straying uncomfortably far from her at times, testing his boundaries. If there are any, that is. she never even flinches. Anyone else would be appalled by the very idea, but he's just fascinated by the science of it. The Northern witches, their magical abilities and way of life have always intrigued him. Marisa seems to be less impressed. Asriel would be lying if he said he doesn't enjoy the look on her face when she realises he knows about her little secret.

Apparently they did a lot of testing on the snow tracks specifically to make sure people wouldn't draw inappropriate things in the snow? Boy oh boy they must have estimated players' dedication and desire for mischief. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around how anybody came out of that testing thinking confidently that they'd kid-safed the snow.

#be careful though guys because last i saw (today) sso devs were encouraging that you report anybody who draws inappropriate snow patterns #i mean theyre probably more concerned about people WRITING things than drawing dicks but yknow... still #(writing things i can tell you confidently is NOT possible. source: i tried to write 'gay' in the forgotten fields and miserably failed) #(you can't report me for that btw. gay is a good word and I was using it as a compliment <3) #sso #ssoblr #z talks

Having a bunch of Koyama thoughts, particularly about the early part of his and the other Scars' redemption arcs following the disbanding of their division. As fun as it would be to write a fic about it I definitely don't have the time to do so, so! Text post it is.

When I was first watching S2, seeing Koyama among the group of former Scars who were trying to put their lives back together definitely surprised me a little. "The Scars did shitty things" is a given, but when it comes to Koyama I feel like his wrongdoings are more...personal to a lot of the audience, if that makes sense. His fight with Mob--if you could even call it that--had this drawn out, visceral brutality to it that I don't think any of the Scars replicated, except maybe Muto. If Koyama got his ass kicked during the end of S1 and went poof along with said Chin Man and Miyagawa, I wouldn't have been surprised.

Don't get me wrong, I love where his arc ended up, and I think the Scars' stories fall in well with the messages the show was trying to convey. That change in him feels like a big leap to make, though, so it's been fun to try to fill in the gap. I'd imagine that transition period after the fall of the 7th division must've been...pretty messy(gonna ramble more about this under the cut)

The blanket explanation the Scars gave was how being beaten by a bunch of kids snapped them out of their flawed way of viewing the world, which makes sense—for the majority of them, anyway. But Koyama wasn’t around for the Great Reigen Roast of 2012–you could say the same for Terada, Takeuchi and Tsuchiya as well, but while all the Scars have been characterized with a certain immaturity towards society and the like, Koyama’s blaring faults directly clash against any kind of progression.

He’s the school bully that gets in trouble and only resolves to get revenge, that one little kid who’d refuse to ‘lose’ when playing make believe by coming up with all sorts of excuses. Judging by the way he’d lash out at any sign of his strength being questioned…I don’t think his pride would’ve let him have that swift moment of clarity like the others(even after being turned into a human ping pong ball by a middle schooler). Far from it as you could go, in fact—that humiliation would only make him double down. Not that the other Scars aren't drastically affected by the whole thing, of course, but Koyama…Koyama’s a prime candidate for making his frustration everyone else’s problem.

Hell I could even see him getting it into his dumbass head that he could find a place in Claw again if he just took down the ones that put an end to the 7th division. His fellow Scars who failed—well they just didn’t have the grit to fight their way past this setback, lost their teeth, but not him. He thinks he could succeed where they failed, and rise back to the top. Shallow as hell plan, painfully desperate, but it’s all he has now. I’m sure that would go sooooo well for him, especially when the rest of the Scars find out what he’s up to while they’ve been trying to fix their lives. Lmao.

#i just think he should try to put his life back together in the worst possible way and fail miserably to noones surprise #i think it would be fun! for me. #mob psycho 100 #koyama megumu #koyama #casper chatter #long post/ #scarposting

i’m so intrigued by the idea of nickistat during the french revolution and the way they may tackle it in the show

#iwtv #lestat de lioncourt #nicolas de lenfent #nickistat #mostly because i can't imagine lestat staying on the sidelines during that #especially his early tvl self #the /i beieve in goodness above everything/ self #the /i hate the lifestyle of my aristocratic family because they are content with rotting away instead of changing for better/ self #the /imagine the beauty of secular world where no one is burned on stake/ self #and it would add another interesting layer to the story because then the death of lestat's mortal family #(including his baby nieces and nephews) #would be indirect consequence of his actions #and thematically it's so in line with book!lestat tragedy of wanting to do good and failing miserably #and nicki..... what would nicki who doesn't believe in anything do?? #so many interesting possibilities

Nick: (Kicking down the door of a smoking house) “What the hell happened here?!?!”

Jasmine: (Holding a fire extinguisher over a ruined stove) “You don’t use water on a oil fire.” (Glares across the crispy kitchen at a certain ghoul)

Hancock: (Puts up his hands)

Danse: (Staring at Deacon) “I thought you were supposedly keeping an eye on the timer.”

Deacon: (Leaning on a counter) “I did, but I’m not the one who set it to high instead of medium low.”

Danse: (Holding a handmade recipe book) “The instructions given were very vague, and everyone knows you should smother an oil fire.” (Now glaring at Hancock)

Nick: (Pinches the bridge of his nose)

Jasmine: (Watching it play out like a dramatic reality tv show)

Hancock: “Hey now. Clearly I heard Danse yell “put water on it” so I did.”

Danse: “I do not recall saying such a thing!”

Deacon: “Eh…. I dunno Danse.”

Hancock, Deacon, Danse: (Burst into a loud argument)

Nick: (Sighs deeply and tugs on his teen daughters arm) “C’mon Jazzy, It ain’t good to breathe this stuff.”

Jasmine: (Drops the extinguisher to follow him out)

Nick: (Points at the bickering men with a Dad glare) “You three boys are responsible for cleaning this muck up, you’re damn lucky the entire house didn’t burn down.”

Hancock, Deacon, Danse: (Collectively) “Yes sir…”

(Now everybody must get certified by Codsworth to use the kitchen)

finally found a way to listen to tma w/o getting super lost or distracted and gotta say ep 34 is so much funnier than it should be

#like ofc ive got an anatomy hyperfix so i knew i was gonna love this one but god i think this is my favorite so far #anatomy professor gets stuck w/ 7 things trying to figure out what human insides look like! they gave him a fucking tooth apple as a gift! #i had to pause the ep bc i was laughing at jon and the dudes reaction to said apple #bone apple teeth motherfucker! #i love this! #this is my shit i love this particular brand of body horror and also '7 things try their hardest to be human and fail miserably' is like #the best possible avenue to go for w/ things trying to be human? its so funny #'oh hey professor who just showed up at my house for some fucking reason! how do human livers work?' i love these weird fuckers genuinely #shut up virgil #like the worms plot is cool as hell and all but i wanna know more about these dudes #also like i said i finally realized if i put the playback speed on the eps to like. 1.72 and have the transcript open to read along #i can actually pay attention! i am far to impatient and tho i like how the show is narrated i cannot sit down for that long #and listen to that slow of talking and actually register anything being said #im rly enjoying this so far the only downside has been i am too impatient for slowburn stories like this one is apparently #so if theres not an obvious plot thread i get distracted a LOT easier #now i that i remembered youtube has a playback speed option tho i am getting through these a LOT easier lmao
