Oooo starstruck dee has little stars at the bottom of her feet! Are they just aesthetic or would they make imprints into the ground? (like pawprints)

exactly like that! though she's not the only one...

edit: might need to add some additional dialogue to this to make it more clear, but a clarification in the interim; he knows about his own footprints. he's just surprised to see something similar already there when he knows he's only just landed. he lifts his own shoe to confirm that they're not identical (and also to reveal this to the viewer). seems his stoicism beat off the clarity in this one, sorry 😭

#meta knight #starstruck dee #have had this one sitting around for *months* while i bit my nails on posting it #and then i thought maybe i *shouldn't* during the shipaganza bc it's not a direct prompt; though i do think you can read it that way #and for ~Reasons~ i needed to post this one sooner rather than later so i had to bite the bullet. #though meta knight has understandably been the second most prompted. they do indeed have the Funnest Possible Dynamic for it #stoic guy and the bug eyed little Creature he doesn't really trust as far as he could throw her (long long way) #so just to clarify this one is NOT for the shipaganza but you can read it that way if you want to #this is just a canon scene between them from her storyline. this is just something they canonically share. starry eyed idiots. #also fwiw i think i probably picked up the shoe-patterns for the knights from postitnotes7 #been a headcanon in the back of my mind for a long while but i'm pretty sure i osmosis'd it from their work #especially after drawing post's designs so much for the hnkss. i temporarily forgot how i used to draw their armour ngl #and also btw starstruck deetectives psspsps #i'm planning a much better post about this later (probably in march) but i'm going to start using this tag for Important Posts for y'all #🎀🔍 #<- for the starstruck deetectives when there's something significant in the post. #i worry about making it 'too easy' but also want stuff to be accessible. it's just for fun? the OC lore game! ARG but it's just my oc. #that would be fun right? maybe? is that too indulgent? i could probably pull it off if folks were actually interested enough to participate #anyway!! go to bed starflung #also if you read this far: anon is open again! still open for shipaganza prompts but i'm not gonna be finished them in february 😂

Mihawk’s lips are dry and tempting. The next time he sees him trying to wet them, he kisses him. For a moment he feels the other’s hand tightening around his shoulder, and he sways a bit in Mihawk’s direction—

“Sorry, I’m— sorry”, he says automatically when the other pushes him back.

A cold chill goes up his spine and fights the wave of heat in his cheeks. His mind keeps juggling excuses as to why he could read the situation so wrong, when he was so sure that— 

He wishes he found Mihawk’s unblinking stare as unnerving as people usually do. 

“...What for?”. 

Shanks opens his mouth, closes it. He looks back at Mihawk’s perplexed expression, more or less as confused as him. Then he thinks about the other’s hand on his hair as he massaged him; about his fingers tracing idle patterns on the back of his hand in the underground. About the weight of his hand still on his shoulder. 

He takes a deep breath. 

“I said a lot of stupid shit”, he says as if it was some sort of grand commencement of a speech only to instantly run out of words. Good gods. Somehow Mihawk still makes him feel as if he was about to go on scene for the first time. 

“I didn’t want to fight you”, he tries to explain, feeling rather lame under the other’s scrutiny. 

No, he had wanted to fight off that part of his conscience that questioned what he was going to do when there wasn't any part of his dreams left to sacrifice over. Much like in their duels, Mihawk had the habit to strike and to do it hard. 

Restless and unsure, he tries to get something more out of the haze of ideas he toyed with, when he still used to think about what he’d say to Mihawk if he had the opportunity, only to be surprised by— 

“I wasn’t patient with you. I regret that”. 

Shanks’ head snaps back to meet Mihawk’s gaze. 

There’s a dust of pink on his cheeks and he sounds as if his words had been confessed under torture.  

He snorts. 

#mishanks #akagami no shanks #dracule mihawk #one piece #one piece live action #I feel I must clarify that this is a modern au #and also that while Shanks is wildly thinking about how to ask Mihawk out again after how bad things ended between them when they were youn #Mihawk is mildly worried about him and feeling a bit ashamed for thinking about kissing him bc Shanks is mildly sick #and also bc surely mihawk's being SO OBVIOUS playing nurse (so obvious being: he bullied Shanks into taking a nap and maybe cuddle a little #also at the background of this there's zoro (who suspects a bit what's going on) playing with luffy #who has a pretty good idea of what's going on but also some INSANE lore about shanks zoro's 75% sure is fake

it's easy to think laurent would be defensive towards damen's soft posessiveness bc of his whole Thing. but then i remember that laurent is insane and more specifically i remember that one passage in kings rising where damen sorta spreads his whole palm in what i believe he called a 'proprietary' touch on laurent's chest and laurent is so into it he literally has to break the kiss and close his eyes to fully feel it. first of all pacat was insane for that one. second of all that is such a laurent thing to do i feel like if damen did let a 'you're mine' slip at some point he'd rationalize it as well like ok. if i'm damen's i'm not my uncle's. and if i'm not uncle's i can be damen's instead. and that is. A good thing. anyway i love you insane boy

#laurent #damen x laurent #captive prince #to clarify this is probably not. a healthy mindset. but i do think it is a laurent mindset!! #and when damen does let one of those youre mine or goodboy or whatever #and he immediately panics and is goes oh no laurent will never sleep with me again </3 #laurent is like nono dont worry i can work with this #or equally funny maybe he goes like yes its me!!!! im the good boy!!!!!! #it just makes me crazy that he had to break the kiss and close his eyes bc he was so goddamn overwhelmed by it #insaneboy fr

I think “you mistook me for someone who liked you” is one of the most scathing things I’ve ever thought in reference to another human person

#no one here don’t worry about it djdjdjjd it’s real people things #anyways brain does not jive with that guy at all I guess sjsjsjsjsj #also to clarify I did not say it dndndndn because that would be horrible to hear #also also it’s a person who I thankfully don’t have to deal with all too often so that’s a win #they’re a fine person and I can be civil djdjdjdj I just don’t jive with them- luckily they have people they like more so I rarely ever have #to

I gotta say, after watching a bunch of cast interviews, I am so delighted to find these girls are just allowed to be weird goofball kids. Kids in the public eye—especially in the middle to high school range, especially girls—are so often expected to be Mature for their Age, like mini-adults. It’s so satisfying to see these four girls get in front of a camera and poke each other, giggle hysterically, brag about the goofy shit they stole from set, and just generally be kids. I hope that continues, that the weird side of the internet can’t steal that from them—and that they’ve got adults behind the scenes ensuring they’re allowed to just keep being happy doing this job they clearly enjoy.

#paper girls #let kids—especially young women—just be weird and goofy. it’s what they deserve #I’m always so worried about kids who launch into the public eye #but these girls seem to genuinely like being around one another. #and it seems to be building a really wonderful shield around them #it’s really delightful to witness. these interviews are hilarious #the bizarre SDCC coloring one is especially endearing #(to clarify: this doesn’t mean they aren’t mature or smart—they seem to be both—but they aren’t forcing it as a priority. #(they just seem to be having fun riding out this experience and not fixating on how they ‘should’ look or behave)

Okay this one might be a bit of a weird thing to discuss (and will be much less relevant if there’s a time skip on Remnant) but I wanted to talk about Ruby and Oscar’s height difference and how much it means to me in light of this recent episode.

I’d like to start this off by saying that I’m actually (conveniently) Ruby’s height. One source is saying 5’4” and ones saying 5’2” and I’m about 5’3”, and something I’ve been noticing a lot recently as I accept that I’m done growing and this is my permanent height is that there’s always going to be something that intimidates me about the majority of the population. As much as I want to think that I’m a confident, capable person, it really takes away from your confidence when you have to look way up at someone to have a conversation with them. On top of that, I’ve noticed that 1. People tend to get really close to me when having conversations, much closer than I’d like, possibly because they’re trying to make up for the fact that there’s about a foot between us that wouldn’t be there normally, and 2. This is a problem, because a) it’s intimidating to have someone larger than me get in my personal space, and b) it just makes me so much more aware of how much taller they are because I have to really lift my head to look at them, only to see them looking down on me.

My point in saying all this? The last few volumes have been really leaning into that with Ruby. This happened a lot in V 7, where Ironwood would be framed as looking down at her, and it really jumped out at me in this last episode with that one shot after Jaune yells at her and she’s left staring up at him with tears in her eyes as he gets up in her personal space.

This scene to me really highlighted how small Ruby is compared to most of the people around her who are supposed to be equals to her-Jaune, Ironwood, Qrow, Robyn, Clover, any of the ace ops-but not Oscar. Oscar is one of the few characters in the show that Ruby is taller than. And speaking from personal experience? It’s so much more comfortable interacting with people who don’t use their size to physically intimidate you (even if that’s not at all their intention).

I know realistically, Oscar is probably going to get taller than her (and when that happens I will find it cute) but right now it’s just so incredibly important to me and really serves to (once again) emphasize how good Oscar is for Ruby and how much his very existence supports her and takes stresses away. In a world where ticking time bombs like Ironwood, Jaune, and the ace ops can turn on her and use their size as a weapon, Oscar can’t (and wouldn’t) do that. Oscar has Ruby’s back, and she trusts him in a way that I don’t think she trusts anyone else in the show.

#rwby #rwby spoilers #its weird how the volume with literally no canon Rosegarden stuff is doing so much to back it up #at least for me #rosegarden #ruby rose #oscar pine #to clarify I tried to word the post in a way that got this across but I’ll say it down here too #im not talking about *everyone* when I say Ruby is small compared to people #obviously we have weiss and nora and even blakes not that much taller #im specifically referring to the people who are supposed to be on the same level as her power wise but in that one small way are higher up #hehe puns #and not to worry my fellow Rosegarden shippers I’m not advocating against the Ruby realizes that Oscar is taller than her scene we all want #im just saying I like the way it is right now #mine

YUNMENG TRIO PROPAGANDA!!!!!

I promise as the moderator of this competition I won’t campaign for any specific sibling sets after this but I cannot let my faves Jiang Yanli, Wei Wuxian, and Jiang Cheng lose in the first round when they were seeded pretty high.

For context, here is who I’m talking about:

Look at those babies!

The Yunmeng Trio are three siblings from the book Mo Dao Zu Shi or the TV show The Untamed.  They consist of oldest sister Jiang Yanli, middle adopted brother Wei Wuxian, and youngest brother Jiang Cheng.  Their relationship is crucial to the story, as it follows Wei Wuxian and his dynamic with both siblings (but especially Jiang Cheng) influences a lot of his decisions, which in turn influences a lot of the state of the world they live in as a whole.

Could these siblings win a physical fight against other sibling sets? YES.  Jiang Cheng is a very skill swordsman and has a magic lightning whip.  Wei Wuxian invented a new kind of magic and by and large is super overpowered (can take on hundreds of people at a time due to his ability to control ghosts/corpses/harness resentful energy).  Yanli, while not much of a physical fighter, can easily win over anyone’s heart with the power of soup.  (Seriously, in the book it lists her weapons as “love and soup”)  Everyone loves her, especially her brothers, which lowkey makes her an extremely powerful character because they’d do anything for her.

Do these siblings have sibling swag? YES.  They bicker! Especially WWX and JC.  Yanli loves to make her brothers soup and they always argue over who has the bigger portion!  They have inside jokes!  JC and WWX are always nitpicking at each other but will not allow anyone else to do so!  They’re all traumatized by their parents in different ways and therefore lean on each other and are unhealthily codependent because of it!  Whenever one of the brothers goes off by himself Yanli always asks the other one to go bring him back, and when she couldn’t do that she waded out into an active battlefield to try to find them!

Do they love each other? YES.  “We are the closest three in the world.”  Jiang Cheng sacrificing himself so Wei Wuxian doesn’t get taken hostage.  Wei Wuxian convincing his friend to perform ethically dubious and extremely dangerous surgery on him to try to get Jiang Cheng back to 100%.  The sole time Yanli loses her temper in the show, it’s because people are yelling at Wei Wuxian and not showing him respect!  She wore her wedding outfit when she and Jiang Cheng went to visit Wei Wuxian in exile because he wouldn’t be able to be at her actual wedding and she wanted him to see it!  Jiang Cheng suggested that Yanli let Wei name her son!  That scene made me cry no joke!

Are they interesting? YES.  I just described how much they love each other but the show actually begins with us seeing Jiang Cheng supposedly kill Wei before we jump back in time, so you know they have some intense emotional arcs going on!  Wei Wuxian was adopted when he and JC were around 6, and his status as an insanely talented and amazing cultivator plays really interestingly with the fact that his younger brother will be clan leader because WWX isn’t in the bloodline, and that influences JC immensely because in a way he has to deal with some of the worst parts of being a younger sibling while also having to deal with things an older sibling would otherwise have to.  Once Wei starts doing big plot things and becomes Public Enemy Number 1, JC and Yanli have to be careful with how they navigate the political world while trying to rebuild their clan and navigate an engagement that could unite their clan with a much more powerful one, but they still try to protect their brother.  Bodies start dropping.  They’re all traumatized over various events that occur before they’re even fully adults.  They make me feel so many emotions it’s not even funny.

tldr: I love them. please don’t let them lose in the first round please just give them this they’ve suffered enough.

#to clarify they were seeded high because they got one of the highest number of nominations #so for the race to be so close...... i KNOW there's time for the tides to change but i'm WORRIED #propaganda

[258punkweight]

my mom was trying to warn me about people on the internet trying to get me to meet up with them or send pics of myself, and i was just like "yah mom i know not to do that. i've known this for years"

...even though i've sent pics of myself to at least 8 girls, and about 6 girls have threatened to kidnap me at some point

#no i haven't sent *those* types of pics. i'm not stupid. it's just pics of my outfits and shit #(with the occasional selfie for the girls i trust the most) #and no one's going to actually kidnap me. that would be a horrible idea. (just clarifying so no one gets worried)

[cringefaecompilation]

i could probably get mooooore behind dorym if it was explored in the same way i ship imogearne, that is where orym sees dorian as safety, as hope, as the only thing keeping him from losing everything solely by being there, by being himself. and dorian cares for and trusts him but not quite enough to feel the same but there is still love and respect there rather than "aww the cute lil guy is sad and shy! he needs dorian to insta-fix him!" vibes that everyone else is pushing. like sure its cute but i've made my opinions on "they can fix them/each other" ships very clear lmaooooo

#🍃 #critical role #critrole #orym of the air ashari #not really spoilers #i have seen people i follow worry that dorian will come back and 'fix' orym but i genuinely doubt that shit #too much has changed in the months dorian has been gone for everything to go back to normal #so once dorian comes back and they actually interact and come into conflict i probably will like the ship tbfh #to clarify i do not like any popular orym ships as of current so i'm not trying to tear down one ship with him to prop up another

As much as I love any life series content, ngl this whole real life thing has me just a little bit anxious for its discourse potential

I reeaallly want people to have fun with it and move on, and not turn people not taking it seriously into A Thing because it is objectively not at the same scale as any other seasons

#and to clarify this isn't me saying “don't make angst out of the joke smp!111!!!!!11!" or anything of the sort #making drama and angst and serious stories out of jokes is the core spirit of mcrp fandom imo so go wild with that #discourse #I'm just worried ;-; #people in this fandom can turn *anything* into an issue #and it's just not worth it becaue this IS a goofy silly thing and now one HAS to take it seriously #but I've seen at least one person implying that not taking cleo's win as seriously as other wins is sexist BUT ITS A JOKE SEASON #gender isn't the only factor here ! correlation does not equal causation ! #please don't start discourse abt the joke smp I will cry ;-; #vent #just complaining about stuff #anyways. i don't think anything will actually happen. I've just been here long enough to have trust issues with y'all #a lot of you are. touchy. at best #me too btw that's just how humans work when they care about things #but it still leads to silly discourse and that stresses me out so. yknow. annoying #life series fandom crit #life series fandom critical #idk how to tag that is there an official tag? #ask to tag #<- that tag means “please ask me to add tags idk what needs to be tagged” btw #took me ages to figure that out

i’ve seen far too many tiktoks made purely with the intention of making fun of other people at tour (for their outfits, for how excited they got, for what songs they did or didn’t know…i could go on) and i just want to say i wish every single person who feels the need to not only make fun of someone but to do it on the internet a very fuck you. leave your mean girl energy at home idc

#i’ve seen so many and they all make my skin crawl why do people think it’s cute to unabashedly make fun of others for no reason #the most recent one i saw was someone making fun of a person a row or two ahead of them for shazaming illicit affairs #and yknow what??? who fucking cares. i don’t blame them. if folklore/evermore isn’t your vibe you might NOT know it #and yknow what????? i’m SURE there are songs the strictly folkmore girlies don’t know so well #illicit affairs is Not a song so widespread and well known and it’s on the setlist anyway. you enjoy yourself and stop worrying abt others #makes my blood BOIL #i thought we were way past the whole. only xyz people who know xyz songs get to go to tour. stop it #people paid money to go just like you did and good for them if they got tickets and wanted to have a good time #for some people that’s all this is!!! a concert!!!! a fun time!!!!! let them live!!!!!!!! #my sister is trying to learn the songs on the setlist and she’ll absolutely ask me to clarify if she doesn’t remember. that’s okay #doesn’t make her any less excited to be there or entitled to be there or any less of a fan vs anyone else #grow the fuck up #sorry i’m mad now #this has been a rant #taylor swift #eras tour
