one of my fav things about the untamed is the seemingly unlimited number of disciples like. there’s the final battle against the wens. dozens of disciples die, literally only the main characters survive. there’s talk of total loss and destruction, everyone is gone. cut to next scene: every sect is shown to have nearly as many disciples as they were depicted as starting with. rinse and repeat after every battle.

I think my fic where Xander accidentally becomes a successful novelist (largely without realizing it) is the funniest idea I’ve ever had. This guy started writing little stories to remember their adventures in Sunnydale (his last line in Chosen about “how will anyone even know about this unless we tell them” burrowed itself into my little archivist brain and won’t let go) and posts them online. He unintentionally goes viral. He thinks someone named Simon N. Schuster is leaving him voicemails. He ends up on the New York Times bestseller list.
He doesn’t even realize that everyone else thinks the stories are fiction. Xander is out here writing autobiographical non-fiction but everyone else thinks he’s a weirdly dedicated author that’s really committed to maintaining a Lemony Snicket style pseudonym/persona for the narrator of his novel. There are “Who Is Xander Harris?” articles. No one can dig up much of anything on him because he lived his whole life in a town that got wiped off the map. He keeps rejecting requests for interviews because of his stage fright. At first this drives his publicist absolutely ballistic but it just adds the the air of mystery that’s drumming up book sales so she lets it go.
He only responds to questions over email and only ever responds “in character” as his “novel’s narrator” and this baffles everyone, only adding to the supposed mystery. It’s literally not even Xander actually writing the emails 95% of the time. It’s Dawn. She has appointed herself as “Xander’s representation” even though she doesn’t really know what being someone’s representation means. She printed business cards.

its kind of crazy how tumblr culture did a complete 180 somewhere between 2018 and 2020 and most of this website has stopped being proud of how miserable they are and instead the general mindset is now all about finding beauty in the smallest things and loving yourself despite it all i hope we all never stop thinking this way

Edit Requests: Roy Harper "with his stinky trucker hat" for Vee <3
"Are we the best team in the world or what?!"
(ID under the cut.)
ID: Five panels of Roy Harper from Red Hood and the Outlaws (2011), with long hair and a trucker hat. Four are animated.
1: Roy in his Arsenal costume, holding his bow. He has a gray hat on. The background is covered in the word "Outlaw," which lights up one letter at a time.
2: A close-up of Roy's face and hat. He's out of costume. The image is desaturated except for the green of his eyes and snake tattoo and some of the red in his hair.
3: Roy, in costume, sitting in a chair and pulling the bill of his cap down over his eyes. The art from his hat floats over his head, a cartoonish mountain range that almost looks like a crown. It hovers up and down as text appears one narration box at a time: "Roy Harper. / Recovering alcoholic, reluctant hero, Arsenal. / Frustrated mad scientist. / Extremely frustrated."
4: Roy, once again in regular clothes, looks up in surprise. He's desaturated except for reds and greens. The background is a collage of his arrow symbol from the Outlaws comics. Various iterations of the arrowhead light up randomly.
5: A close-up and full-color portrait of the left half of Roy's face out of costume. The red background says, "Arsenal Goes To War" in a bold impact font. A text bubble appears: "All right, buddy boy... The cavalry's arrived."
/End ID.

just finished reading @twstyuna's fic blood and bone and heart of stone and felt the need to highlight the fact ace's initial assumption of. yeah this is definite nepotism. was not that much of a jump actually
spoilers for chapter 19 and appropriate levels of gore mentions for it below cut
I typically don't really do fanart for more rural and specific stuff like fanfictions over fandoms because it's like. my art is really. static. not really outstanding or anything. and it's easier to get lost in the crowd of "tons of art for popular game" vs "one of the like twenty total art pieces for super specific fanfiction I like" but the leona scene where golem!yuu rips out their molar and presents it to him as a gift really just stuck out to me. I did make a sketch of that but I was like. you know for someone really bad at gore this somehow ends up the topic of a lot of my art. I should go find something else. so after getting a drawing ref of golem!yuu I was like !!!! oh wow yeah they really do look like crowley huh. so I went for this instead

This was literally in December
[ID: A tumblr text message that reads: I'm preparing myself for the fact that they'll probably take Gogol's thighs away because this studio is called bones for a reason haha but if they mess up Sigma I'll riot. I'm really curious what voice will he have because while reading I walys read it as more of a soft one so if they go with freaking Dio Brando's voice actor or something I'm gonna lose it. Keysmash. End ID]

i’m still not talking about the game i’m playing and obsessing over (sorry, one look at the fandom means it’s typically the type of games i don’t want to connect with people over unless they’re people i already trust) but i’m laughing so hard
because, there’s one chara i was obsessing over so hard that when i found his figurine in the manga store i somewhat bought it right away while i was still very early in the game, and i knew people hates this chara because of something he did later in game (i’m calling, betrayal and murders) and i had vague spoilers about what his deal was about but i couldn’t completely put those spoilers back in context
so there was a moment of fear of, was buying the figurine a good idea? would i finish the game thinking his crimes are too much for me to bear? (i mean i do have figurines for characters i don’t really like so i doubt i would really resent the buy since it’s a pretty figurine, but yaknow?)
But now i’m at a point where, they didn’t reveal what his deal is yet, but i have most of the pieces to know more or less what his crime is, and most of all, he’s currently lying extremely blatantly to everyone while going very 😇 about it (lies i only can totally figure out because of the spoilers i know), and i’m absolutely hysterical because it actually makes him even more my type than he was at the start of the game where he just seemed cheeky yaknow?
i was told everywhere this character’s twist is enough to have people hate him and instead the more i’m building to the twist the more i’m absolutely hysterical because he’s taking all the steps to be an Ultimate Fav Of Mine by checking all the boxes for my dubious fav character type (Sweet Talker, Criminal, and Massive Hypocrite Liar). I’m living.

Both guy and Ted are canonically fans of star trek. What I'm saying is that, if given room to confront their differences and talk honestly with each other, especially with the growth they've gone through (more guy than Ted), they might be able to tentative, if not good frie- [I'm dragged away by a pack of eagles before I can continue]
