one piece / a what could have been scenario that has been rotting in my brain for a while! Creative notes under!

#artists on tumblr #fanart #one piece #one piece fanart #mint archive ; art #monkey d luffy #luffy #portgas d ace #sabo #revolutionary sabo #asl brothers #seraphims are a concept i like exploring #esp when it comes to asl brothers #the sheer horror of luffy seeing seraphim ace #and then him seeing copies of himself and sabo as seraphims and it whiplashes him back to their childhood when all was still well #and how luffy would be so relieved but also mildly envious that the seraphim versions of themselves get this sort of happy end

Touchy subject

"The 501st was one of the best legions during the war. I've lost a lot of good men over the years - some of them would have given even you Mandos a run for your credits. And my general... My general was a good man too, but that's enough of that, I thought you were too old for bedtime stories by now."

Din just tried to figure out what the colour of the clones' armor paint meant, and why he's never heard Rex mention his CO during all the wartime stories and lectures; whereas he's already got to meet Wolffe and his general and even heard Cody mention his every once in a blue moon. (Special thanks to @witchydom for helping with the "dialogue" :3)

The rest of my Star Wars meets Hades AU project is here

I'll take a bit of your time to give a bit of an explanation why I decided to put Rex in Skelly's spot:

During a playthrough when I was looking for screenshots to use as backgrounds the first thing that greeted me was Zagreus calling Skelly "Captain" upon entering the armoury, or whatever that chamber is called. And that really decided it, let's be honest. Rex is Captain, and that is the Captain's spot. End of story.

Reading "still got it" by qigiined even before I got into watching TCW was such a personality defining experience (seriously, this fic lives forever rent free in my brain), that I really had no other option but to put the few clones that I'm willing to work into this AU somewhere around home base (the covert) - so you can guess where Cody and Wolffe are situated. Or will be, hopefully soon enough. Rex needs to be able to hang out with Cody, that's just how it is. (Rebels and TBB canon who?)

Rex deserves to teach some uppity Mando bounty hunters and other warriors who think too much of themselves a few lessons in humility and some crafty tricks. I think it would be very good for him.

As a throwaway note since we are already under the read more section, I've been thinking about sigils and keepsakes (trinkets) and cthonic companions (I know that over a year ago I inaccurately but very self indulgently designed one for Din, Boba and Cobb, that is not the point now) and while Cody can have one shaped like Boga, and Wolffe can obviously get a stuffed loth wolf (and Bo-Katan a very squishy owl)... I have no idea what shaped companion Rex could have. If anyone has any suggestions and would love to share it with me, I'd be very grateful!

#captain rex #rex #the clone wars #star wars the clone wars #tcw fanart #sw tcw #my art #hades au #star wars fanart #old man rex #star wars rebels #sw rebels #I grew to love his beard so much I cannot believe it #these two gave me so much grief but in the end I think I managed to pull them together #old man rex somewhat even looks like boba too which makes me really relieved I'm not gonna lie #but also boba looks so messy in comparison to these later drawings when I actually know what I'm doing orz #also new pocket rex look at him! #but not too closely please he is a little sketchy

one of my favorite things about zedaph is that on a server full of people that find strange and oft-overlooked minecraft mechanics or rare events and then see just how far they can push them in the name of spectacle or efficiency or world-breaking, zed is over here finding these mechanics in order to do the weirdest things he can think of in as entertaining a manner as possible

like i 100% have faith in zedaph's theoretical ability to be just as efficient or spectacular or world-breaking. if he wanted to do that stuff, i trust that he absolutely could. but thats so far from being his priority. instead, hes going to spend around a week of irl time focused entirely on eventually having the good luck to spawn in something insanely rare so that he can convert it into something even rarer, the result of which being something that 99% of the server reacts with complete and utter shock that it even exists in the first place, just because its zany and funny and he wanted to. and i love that

#zedaph #hermitcraft #genuinely i adore the clucky few project im not even done watching the episode and i had to pause and make this post #i saw impulses video first and went ''that HAS to be some sort of datapack or something-'' #only to immediately go ''no. no it cant be. because this is zed #and its practically a trademark of his to push the limits of the game as far as possible in the direction least expected #not for the purpose of efficiency or spectacle or intimidation or whatever like some players who push limits #but purely for the purpose of making something so funny you cant help but laugh at whats going on #and maybe being a bit impressed that he ever thought of it in the first place'' #at which point i went ''holy shit. since its zed doing this. somehow he ACTUALLY got a villager on a chicken. with no cheats. thats INSANE' #i was relieved when i checked my subscriptions to see what the next video i had to watch was and saw he would be next in line #bc if i had to sit through 19 other hermits videos before i could watch his and find out what the fuck he was doing i would have been so sa #sidenote but i feel like a zed video where he interacts with this many other people all in the same video is so rare #idk i didnt watch season 9 and i know he started collabing a lot more w/ other hermits then #so maybe its not nearly as rare these days #but like the last one that *i* saw where he interacted with this many people at once was towards the end of season 8 #when all the people he experimented on earlier in the season came back to experiment on him #and like i would like zeds videos with or without the collabs. but its a lot of fun to see him interact with people #so its very cool to me when he does it with a lot of people all in the same video

one of my favorite things about hannibal is that they went for it and did not hold back with will’s “villain arc” in season three. i mean just look at this transformation

it always feels like a massive let down when a narrative plays with the idea of letting the good guy go bad before inevitably reverting back to the status quo. let me see a bitch go crazy for once!! show me the character who’s been through hell and back finally snapping. the character who has only suffered as a result of doing the right thing choosing to be selfish for once. will going with hannibal in the end was wonderful for their love story of course, but i was equally thrilled to see will finally finding happiness, even if it was through morally irredeemable means

#and ​the fact that he got one billion times cuntier in the process was just icing on the cake #but yeah i think about this a lot. i remember being so relieved my first watch that his transformation in season three wasn’t temporary #i was afraid it was all a ploy and that he’d leave hannibal in the end. i thank god every day that he stayed morally irredeemable #hannibal #hannibal nbc #hannigram #will graham

Prompt 250

So blame it on me making food-themed dragons, and failing to draw a full-body of the Ennead in the Class Pulls a Tiamat Aus. So Why not combine them- along with a hint of Ghosts are Dragons. 

See, most, if not every, person in Amity Park, and even it’s surrounding areas, know better than to use the W word. It is borderline taboo to use the ‘wish’ word. But somebody got drunk, said a thing they shouldn’t have, and now there’s a bit of an issue. 

Which honestly, they could have dealt with! Easily even! If not for the fact that erm, realms beings can get summoned. Meaning Desiree is well, gone. Gone long enough for the twenty-four hour mark to pass. And they can’t exactly punish a ghost for doing what’s in their nature and part of their very Core. 

So. 

It seems everyone is food themed now. Every ghost and liminal- though at least Amity was already weird and pretty hidden from the Outside nowadays- and even a few undead. 

Honestly, Fright Knight should not look so terrifying with his new coloration and criss-cross patterns across his back. But well, he pulls it off, burnt-looking limbs and all. (Seriously, his flames look more like whip-cream now and he’s still somehow pulling it off- Dash wants to know his secret! 

At least the nine of them haven’t gotten it too bad, probably. And Lunch Lady is pleased, so there’s that, but still. Jazz looks like a dragon sushi roll for Realm’s sake, and- okay that’s kind of funny. Vlad you can’t hide your new fruit-based appearance! 

Hah!

Oh Realms there’ll need to be so much paperwork for th- Oh thank fuck someone is summoning them now. Alright, showtime! Time to be Heir of the Infinite, big scary nine headed dragon! Ignore the food-theme-ish guys! 

#Prompts #The Class Pulls a Tiamat #Food Dragon #Ghosts are Dragons #Feast of Dragons AU #DCxDP #DPxDC #Liminal Amity Park #The Ennead are adults #Ghost King Danny #Sort of they’re technically all nine of them ruler-in-training #The Ennead all have different food-themes for each head that melds onto their back like a tiered cake #Vlad is a fruit crisp dragon ghost #He’s grumbling as ghost Jack & Maddie tease him (not that they’re much better) #Honestly they’re just all relieved it’s not end of the world shit happening #Some have similar vibes to dragons from things like Dragonvale #I think it would be hilarious if someone like Condiment Man spotted the food dragons & went starry-eyed

Always fucking breaks me T^T

And he says it so flatly too, like “Why are we even doing this? Why are you making us go through all this hell? Is it even worth it?”

He’s so tired and worn out. If the Tower is us giving up on Hero—our agency—then The Moment of Clarity is us wearing him so thin that there’s simply no more choices to make anymore.

Wait, actually–

This might just literally be Hero blocking our choices. After all–

#and when everything’s over. FINALLY over. he’s just so RELIEVED #every other time he’s panicked and confused. there’s still so many questions and so many loose ends #but here? after already doing everything he could? he’s just GLAD he can finally rest. as are all the others #I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS ABOUT HERO OK? #he’s my specialist little guy.

Every part of HtN is the best part to reread With Context. But that moment at the very beginning of the book when she almost gets smothered, Gideon's "Good. Good." when she gets her attacker off of her has me curling into a ball on the floor. It just feels weighty to me. She's so fucking worried about her and she's not even trying to to mask it anymore.

#Even at the end of GtN we don't get that many moments of unmitigated concern because she's busy Doing Something About It yk? #I love the fight scenes in HtN so much because they're incredibly written and you get a helpless Gideon fussing over her and admiring her #She's so scared and she's so angry and she's so proud of what she can do at rock bottom and she's so relieved when she comes out on top #Gideon coming back and trying to keep her thumbs on in person is just the icing on the cake.

#it's extremely bittersweet that juan was the only one in the family who felt cesare's constant pain #it's why he was glad to found something to relate to with his brother and even smiling with relief #the idea that juan finding solace in the fact that he could empathize with cesare as he endured pain all the time as well hits so hard #but of course for different reasons but if only juan knew that cesare lusted over being a soldier badly that he'd even kill for it #david: “juan’s attempt at relieving pain is through closeness and hugging and love... #...while cesare’s attempt to relieve his pain is through murder and fratricide... #...when he forgives cesare at the end saying how they’re brothers and wants to be together. i think that’s genuine.” #juan borgia #cesare borgia #the borgias #theborgiasedit #david oakes #juan and cesare #perioddramaedit #dailyworldcinema #userperioddrama #tvarchive #cinemapix #filmgifs #by jen

thinking about how q!bad, upon hearing q!forever was sad, backtracked on his jealousy and told richarlyson that q!max was actually single. thinking about how q!bad understands the feeling of loneliness, yet no one seems to support him in bringing skeppy. and in doing so, q!bad, despite having the trust of so much of the island, is isolated in a very interesting way. 

bad’s relationship with forever is hard to analyze, but i think what bad really just wants is to be someone’s number one, especially as a single dad since the beginning. and this doesn’t need to be platonic or romantic, but it does imply some type of exclusivity. he seems continuously envious of vegetta and foolish’s relationship and he likes/wants forever to be jealous about him. but the thing is -- i can’t see forever reciprocating this in the way bad wants. forever has so much love to share for his friends and his co-parents, and if i remember correctly, he’s gotten jealous of people other than bad. meanwhile, bad seems fine with sharing his own love (“i have two hands”) but he doesn’t seem to like it if the other person does the same. that’s where the 4halo clash comes from. q!bad has revealed he’s been extremely insecure about being replaced as dapper's parent, and i wouldn’t be surprised if that extends to friends. 

tl;dr: from a q!bad analysis perspective, he wants that one special person who he knows will 100% have his back. from a cc!bad rp perspective, he loves bouncing off of jealousy and i think he wants a man obsessed over him deserve <3

#badboyhalo #qsmp #idk if i should maintag this lmao #but anyways the thing w skeppy is that hes very possessive and hates when bad has more than one best friend (going off of cskeppy) and that #relieves bads insecurities in a way #so it ends up somehow working out for them in a toxic way 😭😭

The thing that really gets me about Wyll and Karlach is just how their bond is allowed to have the importance in their narratives that it has

I mean, in games like these the cast is always going to be centered around the pc. Sure, the relationships between other companions can be developed through party banter, commentary, or even cinematics, but at the end of the day everyone's most significant relationship is always going to be the player. That's the person who most affects them and where their story is going

With these two, it's not even that Tav isn't vitally important to them both, but it's meeting Karlach that changes Wyll's life one way or another. It's Wyll that's the first person to stick out his neck for Karlach, and sends her reeling. Their bond alone is enough to convince Karlach to go to Avernus and stay alive

It's a very bold choice to risk limiting the player's importance in order to drive home the connection between two characters, and I really appreciate Larian for going there

#and that bond is significant whether you see it as platonic or romantic #but this is very much why I do find myself shipping it despite not really caring about originxorigin ships as a whole #wyll ravengard #karlach cliffgate #wyllach #bg3 #gonna get a lil gushy about my own pt here but #it's fully Wyll who saved Karlach's life there #my Tav's character arc in large part about accepting death #she went from being unable to cope with the loss of her family to processing it and accepting it #she convinced Mayrina to let go of her husband #she didn't argue when Shadowheart let go of her parents and was even relieved at her choice #she was not going to stop Karlach from nlowing up in the end #she and I both accepted that Karlach was going to die #and then at the last moment Wyll comes in and he doesn't accept it #he offers to go to Avernus with her and protect her #and I just realized this wasn't about my Tav #this was about them #*chefs kiss*

In my opinion, the reason the reunion scene was skipped was because the author couldn’t figure out a way to write it non-romantically and gave up after a while

honestly. i kinda agree with you nonnie.

it just. the set up to the scene is sooooo romantic. you have lloyd being absolutely devastated at the thought he's not going to see any of his loved ones ever again and that he's been dropped back into his terrible life, to the place he admitted he'd rather die than go back to,,, and then someone knocks at the door and when he opens it this is the sight that greets him:

his best friend, the person he's closest to, the one he's spent years with, the one he promised a peaceful life at his side, the one he wanted to grow old with, the one he sacrificed everything for, the one he effectively gave his life to save, the one he thought he'd never see again, standing at his door, having crossed literal dimensional barriers to get to him, a soft and teary smile on his face as he tells him "i missed you"

like. c'mon.

i'm all for platonic interpretations, i'm aroace, i love me a good best friendship as much as the next guy, but,,,, isn't this,,, like,,, really fucking romantic??? extremely so??? am i??? reading too much into it?? because it feels really, really romantic to me.

and like you say. where do you go from there. what response could lloyd give that doesn't involve throwing himself at javier and clinging to him with all of his strength. what conversation could these two have that doesn't involve them seeing how truly devoted they are to each other. what resolution does their arc together have that isn't them spending the rest of their lives together, at each other's side, like they so dearly wanted to.

but. alas. that wasn't the story bk moon wanted to tell. and that's very much his right. i just think that if he didn't want me to assume there's no in-character and narratively satisfying version of that conversation that doesn't end with them kissing he should've at least tried to give us something. and not completely skipped it lol

but that's just my opinion too :]

#hey i got an ask #Anonymous #tged #the greatest estate developer #tged spoilers #lloyd frontera #javier asrahan #llojavi #ch 401 #and like. god. this really was his favorite scene to write uh. #i just. i don't get it. what was going through his head. what was he thinking. what was the point of all of This. #i just need ten minutes locked in a room with him. preferably with a translator but i am willing to compromise. just gimme ten minutes. #i can make him spill the soup i know this #fuck if i think too long about how this is the. second last chapter we get. before we officially end the novel with the two of them sharing #a relieved smile at the fact they can finally live their lives together without worries. i do go a little crazy. #this would probably be a hot take if there were enough opinions about tged for it to be considered spicy in the first place. but. i don't #love the extra chapters. the one with javier making a wish to a shooting star is acceptable tho it does create more questions than answers. #but the others are. meh. i would've much preferred if tged had ended in ch 401 with an open ending. maybe ch 402 if only because i did want #to see lloyd interact with arcos and marbella as suho. but there would be no last minute shoehorned wedding in my ideal ending. #i just!! i don't like forced romance!!!! i don't like compulsory amato/heteronormativity!!!!!! #i want my fictional relationships to have proper build up and chemistry and to be narratively satisfying!!!!!!! fuck!!!!!!! #i'm good. i'm okay. this is fine. we're all fine. #anyway. yeah
