One Piece Shipping War - Round 2 Side D

MiShanks art by @oz-gauze. Check out the original post here.

Propaganda under the cut.

Propaganda for Iceburg x Paulie:

"I find the 'IcePaulie' ship in the "One Piece" fandom particularly compelling, and there are several reasons for this. Firstly, the two characters involved, Iceburg and Paulie, are wonderfully complex and engaging. Iceburg, as the mayor of Water 7 and president of Galley-La Company, is a serious, highly respected figure whose calm and composed demeanor grounds the duo. On the other hand, Paulie, one of the company's top foremen, is known for his strict moral code and boisterous nature, which provides a perfect contrast to Iceburg's character. What I appreciate most about the 'IcePaulie' ship is the potential for dynamic interactions and growth that arise from these contrasting personalities. The calm, collected Iceburg and the more hot-blooded Paulie provide a balanced character interaction, which can lead to interesting conflicts or heartwarming moments of mutual understanding and respect. Moreover, their shared commitment to their work within the Galley-La Company serves as a common ground that bonds them together, further enriching their relationship. In conclusion, the 'IcePaulie' ship, to me, is about more than just a potential romantic or platonic relationship. It's about the exploration of two distinct characters, their individual quirks, values, and the unique dynamic that forms between them. This interplay of personalities and the potential narrative arc their relationship could follow are what make the 'IcePaulie' ship truly captivating to me."

It's one of my fav ship not including the big 5 so 👉👈 It's really damn adorable and romantic, like just paulie being extremely overprotective and iceburg just loving him more everytime. And how they deal with the others shenanigans (that they love)

Propaganda for Shanks x Mihawk:

They had a massive battle at one point, when mihawk showed up on that island where shanks was relaxing shanks convinced him to get drunk with him very easily, also in the war of the best mihawk just flat out said he refused to fight shanks

Goth swordsmith & Golden retriever

Two of the most badass characters in the whole series, cat/dog energy, the fact that Mihawk specifically sought Shanks out to show him Luffy's bounty??, also Mihawk leaving the fight because he didn't sign up to fight Shanks??, I love two middle aged man who are somehow friends AND MAYBE MORE lmao

They’re so funny to me. Like seriously goth Mihawk and happy chaotic Shanks. I just think they could be so good together

Rivals to lovers -- Powerhouses -- Introvert and extrovert -- Mihawk wears red and has black hair while Shanks wears black and has red hair like ✨Color schemes✨ -- SAME BIRTHDAY YOU CAN'T CONVINCE ME THEY DON'T CELEBRATE IT TOGETHER

They are rivals. They are besties. They are so friggin gay for each other. It's DILF love.

what if we were both swordsmen but you lost your arm to save the future king of the pirates so i have remained SOOO bitter about it but then find out the kid u saved has a promising swordsman so im less bitter so i go drink with you and you force me to ditch my wine for booze but it works because you care about me despite my solitary life so we remained long distance bfs and think about each other constantly. is that something

Mihawk being a recluse but going out of his way to visit his bf regularly is proof enough

a flower & flower protector - p. niran [lifeweaver]

summary; you've heard of a sunshine and sunshine protector, well how about a flower and flower protector?

genre/extra tags; fluff, general headcanons abt being lifeweaver's s/o but with a more set dynamic, me just thinking about a dynamic in my head, reader is an overwatch agent (tank to be specific), very black cat & retriever energy in a way?, lifeweaver is the flower.. heh, get it?? bc his thai nickname is bua? which is lotus,,, anyways i love this man

[gender neutral! reader]

a/n; it's a crime that i haven't written for him yet bc i just wish there was more about him. he's literally my only source of representation as a south asian gay (at least the closest i'll get to a cambodian lgbt figure). and i love him so much for that but i will never forgive people shitting on him bc of blizzard's shit timing for everything

ugh, anyways, representation matters and i love him. i lost my shit when he was first announced, it made me so happy to see another type of south asian (especially one close to my family's home country) in my favorite game and he was gay so it was even more impactful as a gay person myself. and i imagine it was the same for a lot of other people.

niran is too nice sometimes

you love him for it but he seriously needs to pump the breaks on trying to do so much sometimes

especially since he is still technically wanted in several countries for his developments in bio light.

he's not,, super golden retriever energy but he's always so bright and sweet, it's hard to not at least say dog energy. maybe at least... chill dog energy. glad to be here but not being crazy energetic about it.

you.. not so much. you're very "i dont mind being here but i dont like it either" and he finds it entertaining and endearing bc even if you hate it, you're with him and making sure he's having a good time and there's no one there to ruin it

you're kind of intimidating but then you stand next to niran and he's so much taller than you ?! you're like near his chin or lips in height, so you're still kind of tall?? but also he is a very tall man in general

some people find it hard to believe that you're the one in the frontlines in battle and he's the one supporting you but it's really cute though

he likes that you're close to his height. "just means easier access to kiss you!" in his words.

he's always the one initiating pda and you never say no to it. you always grumble abt it but he just smiles so sweetly and you end up letting him do what he wants

but in private, you're the one being attached to him

often being the little spoon bc as much as you love protecting the people of the world, you want to be protected too sometimes and that's okay

but you do like being big spoon too and he loves being cuddled when you're the one initiating it

he's always the one rambling to you about his new discoveries and his plants or just anything in general

and you're always listening intently. and you get him things based on what he's talked about recently or what reminds you of him :')

"did you get this for me, dear?"

".. no." [yes.]

"of course, of course." he nods knowingly, sending you that little smug smirk. he obviously knows. "well, then i'm just gonna go ask the rest of the agents if they- [gifted this to me]"

you're hugging him from behind, face pressed against his back, "i hate you so much niran."

that stupidly cute laugh leaves his lips, "i love you too."

the overwatch crew's opinions really vary

symm doesn't mind your presence when you're around, she doesn't mind when you have silent moments bc she has those moments too. you both are close friends

genji kind of relates to you, when you just feel like being away from people but you don't want to actually feel lonely. he finds solace in that. also you both probably meditate together (with zen on occasion), and he enjoys having a meditation partner

tracer is always nice around you, very cheery and always trying to get a laugh or smile out of you. you only spare a weak laugh or a huff of a laugh and niran has to explain that you probably did find her joke funny and you don't want to admit it (which is true). sometimes it's a bit awkward when he's not around to explain that, so you just come off as really really awkward or unintentionally rude (or maybe intentionally if you didn't like her jokes)

you know that baptiste flirts a lot with niran, and you dont really care bc he does that with mostly everyone. you don't blame him (some of the agents are really pretty and handsome but you love niran the most). you trust niran enough. he's a very honest person with you.

bap also tries to flirt with you too. niran joins in to double team you and get you flustered. and sometimes it works. you're unfortunately really bad at handling and accepting compliments.

bap is very flirty best friend vibes but he never pushes past the limits of course. niran's glad to have a friend who matches his energy and you're just glad he's got another place to put that energy

continuing on...

after missions, he's always patching you up. you're the tank after all (you can only take so many orisa spears to the head-)

during missions, he gives his 110% for you and the team. and he does it well ‼️

during those off times (which can really vary what with null sector and the invasion and etc.), you both just try to relax as much as possible. sometimes niran gets really restless bc he just wants to save the world as soon as possible :(

but you remind him about how it takes time and even heroes need rest.

you tend to take care of him more during those off times because he just gets so anxious and he overthinks a bit.

you're very realistic with your goals, niran can get too optimistic, and it can really hurt him. but you keep him grounded.

mm.. let's move to a lighter topic now,,,,

his love language is physical touch and acts of service. his in game,,, everything just screams that to me idk

when he pulls you in his life grip and saves you 😍 (lowkey, i fall in love with those players who save my ass like that as a support player/j)

nah but real talk, when you come back to him in the grip, he slips a hand around your waist, "let me hold you a bit longer, hm?" I LOVE HIM FR FR ‼️‼️

anyways, he likes doing things for you. and the pda thing as mentioned before applies to the physical touch love language ofc

he has to have like a few seconds to gently guide your close to him with his hand on your lower back or to hold your hand. or just hold you in general.

he's the type of guy to say you have something your hair and goes to fix it but there was nothing, he wanted an excuse to make it a kdrama moment

he's like a bit dramatic but you love him for it you know?

he's a bit cheesy but he's cute so it's okay

he's always telling you how much he loves you. you dont do the same, at least not verbally

it's mostly physically/through actions. handing him things he didn't know he needed, buying him presents that made you think of him

very gift giving and acts of service

man this is longer than i thought it was gonna be... um..

idk if i should go further. someone request it and i'll write in-game interactions that would happen or describe flower protector! reader more. /hj

spar with me

pairing : established chixiao

word count : 1.4k

so you know how you're meant to be writing a fic centered around a certain thing but you get too distracted writing your poor little meow meows being gay to get on with that? yeah

"Xiaooo!"

The Yaksha in question appears in a burst of power tinted with teal. A frown pulls at his lips when he sees the lack of danger Childe seems to be in, yet he's not entirely sure what else he'd expected. Of course Childe wanted to waste his time. What else does that dumb Fatui have to do?

"Oh, there you are!" Childe reaches to lay his hand on Xiao's shoulder, but the shorter backs away before he gets to fully raise his hand. Childe, of course, doesn't take it personally and returns his hand back to it's place on his hip. Sure, it's settled now that they're... doing something that can maybe be referred loosely to as 'dating', but Childe knows how sensitive Xiao can be to unexpected contact.

"Are you free, by any chance?" Xiao begins to respond with a resounding "No," but Childe cuts him off before he can do so. "If so, I need to practice with my polearm today! Care to join me?"

The ginger looks at Xiao for a moment, just to study his features. His expression seems uncertain and his arms are drawn tight to his chest, crossed and closing himself off to Childe. He prepares himself for the strong decline he's about to receive and starts thinking about other ways he can persuade Xiao into going along with him.

Mm... He's already made plenty of almond tofu, enough to last Xiao a life-time, but he feels like that approach might be getting old. Sure, bribery is always a good way to get what you want, but Childe wants to do something fun next time. Maybe he could-

"Fine. But I won't stay long."

Childe resists the urge to grab Xiao and twirl him in the air. He thinks this might be the first ever time Xiao's agreed to do something with him without hours of persuasion!

"Ah! Has my charm finally gotten to you, Xiao?"

"Don't push it. Let's go."

... ◇ 》

Childe wipes the sweat off of his brow and drops his polearm.

"Alright, alright! Let's... Hah... Wrap this up for today." He says. He rests with his hands on his knees, panting loud enough to disturb the stray cats in the field into leaving. He falls back, laying on the cool, refreshing grass with an arm over his eyes to block the sun.

But he never hears the 'whoosh' of Xiao teleporting away. Instead, he hears the grass next to him rustle for a moment before it goes quiet.

Cracking an eye open, he sees that Xiao is sitting beside him. Leaning back on his arms, his golden eyes stare into Childe's for a moment before he turns his gaze to the sight in front of him. If Childe didn't know better, he'd say that Xiao is blushing a little bit. If Childe had known all it took to make Xiao blush was eye contact, he would've made use of that a while ago.

"Soo," Childe grins, sitting up as well. "How'd I do, boss?"

Xiao doesn't even turn to look at him. "I continue to tell you that you cannot brute force your way into every fight, but you continue to do so anyway."

"Hey, it works for me-!"

"Did I say I was done talking? You need to think during battle no matter how hard that may be for you. However... You did seem a little distracted this time around, which is idiotic." During those last words, Childe swears Xiao's eyes shine with an almost teasing glint.

He knows what Xiao means by 'distracted.' He knows that Xiao noticed he'd been too distracted admiring the graceful way Xiao moved to focus entirely on fighting, and he's teasing him for it.

"You-! Now who told you you're allowed to do that?" He reaches for Xiao's arm, maybe just to give him a light smack for making fun of him, but his wrist is caught in Xiao's iron grip. He doesn't let go.

"I fail to see what it is you think I'm doing."

What a bastard! Grinning, Childe wrestles his arm out of Xiao's grip and pushes him by the chest into laying down. For a moment, Xiao attempts to shove Childe himself, but he also fails to see that Childe can be just as nimble as himself and is quickly settled between Xiao's legs with both his wrists pinned beside his head.

The Yaksha squints and gives a guttural growl, but Childe doesn't miss the subtle upward twitch of his lips. "What are you trying to prove here?"

Childe chuckles and leans in. He can almost feel Xiao's breath on his own lips. "I just wanted to make sure you know you shouldn't tease me."

The closeness makes the both of them flush, but neither comments on it.

After a beat, Childe is about to pull away, but Xiao, sweet, wonderful, perfect Xiao kisses him. The sudden feeling makes butterflies and what feels like exploding sunshine burst in Childe's stomach and he smiles into the kiss.

He releases Xiao's wrists and drags his hands lower to his waist and he finds that his hands fit his small waist perfectly.

Xiao's lips are dry, but not chapped- He's not even sure of the state of his own, but he can't say he cares. Not when Xiao's arms are snaking around his neck and his lips are parting, yet painfully slowly-

"Ah! D-Don't-"

Suddenly, they've parted. Childe doesn't have time to mourn the loss of the kiss because he's too busy scanning over Xiao's body, trying to understand what could've caused that reaction. "Oh, love, did I hurt you? What happened? I'm so sorry, oh-"

But Xiao's smiling. It's a beautiful thing. His peachy lips are parted in a wide, wobbling grin and unnaturally pointed canines shine at Childe, which, wow. His own smaller, gloved hand rests atop Childe's, idle on his waist.

Wait...

Oh.

"You're ticklish!"

"No, Childe. Do not-"

Childe pins Xiao to the ground again, but with different intentions this time. Before Xiao can protest, Childe's nimble fingers are already gliding up and down his side. The thin shirt he wears does nothing to protect him from the electric sensation, yet he bites his lip and hides his face in his shoulder anyway.

"Oh, come on love, don't do that!" Without warning, Childe digs his fingers into Xiao's poor stomach. He vibrates his fingers just slightly and Xiao squeals.

The dam has broken, and there is no repairing it. Adorable, poorly held back giggles fall from Xiao's lips and oh, Childe thinks he might be in love. His hand falls from it's place pinning Xiao to join his other hand in massaging his fingers into Xiao's stomach.

"A-aha- Stop!! Nnh- I'm... Nohot- Ahh..!!" He really does try to hold it back, but bouncy, high-pitched squeals and giggles fall from his lips like a river. He pushes at Childe's hands with his own, but he finds that he's already been too weakened for that to mean anything.

"Don't tell me... Were you about to say you're not ticklish?" The wolfish grin plastered to the Harbinger's face makes Xiao want to throw him out a window. "You wouldn't lie to me like that, would you Xiao?"

Childe's teasing is punctuated by squeezes to the grooves of Xiao's hips, followed by an unbearable scribbling up his sides to his ribs.

Xiao arches his back, but this just sends him further into Childe's hands and Archons, he needs this to stop. His arms feel like jelly and his face must be flushed and his hips turn and twist with every flutter of Childe's tickling fingers and he just cannot take this, he swears it.

Childe's fingers scribble in the spaces between his ribs and he shrieks. "Noohoho! I-I cahahan't-!! Ah! Stohop, I cahan't take ihit-"

"Oh, really?" Childe leans closer to Xiao and stills his hands. His rests them on his waist, but he makes sure to keep his thumbs lightly gliding over the surface, just to keep him on his toes. "Liyue's all-mighty Yaksha? Tough, resilient Xiao? Darling, you can't take a little tickling?"

Still involuntarily grinning, Xiao tries his very best to block off the remaining giggles while he pushes Childe's stupid face away from him.

He fails, though. Childe's damn hands are still tickling him and he hates this, really. He does.

"I just want to let you know you've had free movement for a while." Childe presses a gentle, soft kiss to Xiao's cheek. It doesn't match his sadistic tone of voice. "You could've moved at any time. You like this, don't you?"

Xiao doesn't move. He just glares. Any effect it might have had dissipates under his precious grin.

"Good to know! Anyways, let's continue-"

"Do not!"

WELCOME EVERYONE TO THE FINALIZED FIRST CHAPTER OF AIN'T THAT A BITE, ARRIVING 4 DAYS EARLY

@standard-human@mjtheartist04@gay-trashcan-cat@littlemissatlas

featuring:the supersonic monster, Gyaos

Chapter 1: “The Pilot”

Mach: a unit of measurement in stating the speed of a moving object in relation to the speed of sound

yoke:the airplane's “steering wheel.”

February 21,1952

Crisp gripped the controls of his small airplane with a mix of determination and apprehension. The Stelwick sea stretched below him, invisible in the swirling chaos of the storm. Lightning flashed intermittently, illuminating the churning clouds with brief, stark clarity. Yet, amidst these hellish conditions, He was flying out into the depths of these turbulent skies to fight a nightmare. A nightmare that was responsible for taking out several military aircraft.

Armed only with the standard equipment of his bushmaster aircraft, modified by a man who he considered certifiably insane, Crisp knew he faced an uphill battle. He recalled reading how the creature had an estimated 172-meter wingspan, had been reported flying at speeds exceeding Mach 3, and with just a simple scream It could slice through military-grade steel. The only way he could describe it was a dragon, although he could not wrap his head around the screaming. To him it made no sense, but whatever. He had a job to do and it wasn’t to question, especially when he saw the wreckage caused by it. As Crisp strained to maintain vigilance in the darkness, exhaustion gnawed at him. The flashing of the lightning made it so that his mind played tricks on him and figures appeared in the fog where in actuality, there was nothing but cloud cover.As a hellhound there was no problem seeing in the dark, however, the repetitive flashes of lightning caused a struggle for his hell-born eyes as they failed to adjust, alongside the heavy rain that jabbed at the cockpit window. Although it also bugged him that the bolts of lighting held a strange golden hue, nothing near the usual static white, Crisp shakily tuned into the squadron’s radio frequency. And with his gravelly voice, he spoke.

Crisp: hello, this is Oracle one to Jackal squadron come in, over.

amidst the storm's fierce whiplash a response trickled through, a pilot's voice tinged with urgency.

He said this with a barely noticeable tremble in his voice.

Pilot: Go ahead Oracle one, this is Jackal one, over..

Crisp let out an exhausted sigh,it took every last bit of strength to keep his composure.

Crisp: I was called in to take care of the situation you guys are in, over.

Pilot: uhh, well thank you, sir, I suppose we are in a bit of a mess right now, over.

An uncomfortable silence was left between the 2 for a brief second

Crisp:...and, how long have you been in the force? over..

Pilot: Since about ‘49 sir, over..

Crisp: So you didn’t see that much action? over..

Pilot: no not really, is that a bad thing sir? over..

Crisp: not at all actually, I wouldn't want anyone to see a lot of action, over.

He chuckled, followed by a rugged cough. He hadn’t been able to do a proper chuckle in a while, but it didn’t hurt to at least try to ease the young pilot’s distress. Crisp felt that he was out of his depth, the pit in his stomach enforced that. Another span of agonizing silence passed as the storm interfered with the clarity of their communication, he glanced down at his worn dog tags and sighed. They were a painful reminder of what he was there for. Suddenly, a frantic transmission pierced the airwaves, the pilot’s voice screamed through the cockpit’s radio.

Pilot: what exactly have they assigned you to hunt down sir? Sorry they didn’t disclose that to me, over.

Crisp: something I’m not exactly paid enough to deal with,kid, over.

Pilot: THIS IS JACKAL ONE TO ORACLE ONE, DO YOU READ ME?!?!

Crisp sprang into action, with an inhuman screech signaling that the creature was out there, Crisp’s exhaustion vacated.

The sounds of metal groaning under immense stress, the anguish cries of the pilot, and the otherworldly shrieks of whatever adversary lurked on the other line echoed through the cockpit, leading Crisp’s mind to the dreadful conclusion that the young, terrified pilot had been killed by this creature. Only silence followed the transmission, a chilling reminder of the danger that lurked in the storm's depths.

Crisp: I’m here, over!

Pilot: It's after me sir, I don’t- I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO!

Crisp: I’m on my way, just stay on the line ok?

Crisp reassured the young pilot.

Pilot: oh my god- It’s like a bat sir, it's huge, I KEEP SHOOTING THE DAMN THING SIR NOTHING IS WORKI-

He looked up and saw the form of the creature responsible for the young man’s demise. No amount of briefings could adequately describe its horrific visage.

The creature was as big as his plane, and Its eyes were feral and bloodshot, like looking into a rabid animal. There was a primal sense of unease Crisp felt just looking at it. It was like he was a small prey animal being confronted by an apex predator. There was something that seemed wrong about this thing simply being there. It looked like a bat, but that's where his sense of familiarity with it ended. The skin looked like charred meat. Its wings didn't even look like they belonged to a living thing. It was like the skin was just loosely placed onto a carcass, rips in the membrane of the wing showed the sky behind it.

Crisp wasn't sure if this thing was supposed to look like this, or if it died long ago and it was reanimated in some gross mockery of nature. Regardless, nothing about it obeyed any sort of natural law he was used to. it opened its mouth and let out a wailing screech. It was difficult for Crisp to decipher if it was in pain or if it was enraged. It didn't matter very much as Crisp could tell one thing from it. It did not want him there.

It cut through the air as it chased him, Crisp could guess that it was probably able to maneuver so quickly due to its arrow-shaped head(at least that was the only thing that made sense to him given everything else about the monster). He paid no time waiting for anything, taking evasive action to both retreat from and to get a good angle for a potential attack. Sweat coated his palms as he nosedived, the pit in his stomach growing as he watched with dreadful anticipation as the large blip on his radar didn't cease to grow in size, not daring to look behind him.

He got to a point where he felt comfortable enough to shake off his anxiety to where he could open fire. He charged towards it as it opened its unholy maw “Yeah that’s right, come get some you son of a bitch!”.

His adrenaline rush rapidly faded as he noticed that a light was beginning to emanate in the back of Gyaos’ throat. Its scream got louder and louder, shaking the very cockpit of the plane he was in.

Then before Crisp realized it, every sound cut out, not even the rain was heard pattering on the window of the cockpit.

Quickly, Crisp banked his plane sharply to the right. Almost immediately following, a bright, thin white beam shot out of the creature’s mouth, slicing through the clouds like a sword into flesh.all the sound returned to a deafening degree. Gyaos changed the beam's direction towards Crisp and he raced through the clouds, desperate to lose it. When Gyaos closed its mouth, he breathed a sigh of relief, before quickly activating the homing sigil to guide the missiles of the plane directly to their target(which in this case was the colossal head of Gyaos). The plane(along with the missiles)was enhanced by an artificer back at HQ both for some extra punch to the blast and for ensuring a direct hit. Crisp didn't trust the Artificer but It’s not like he had a better option. He tapped the yoke twice, activating the homing sigil which locked onto the creature. Gyaos opened its gaping maw again, preparing another sonic blast. Its roar was so powerful that bits of drool and saliva were blasted onto the cockpit window, even from the far distance between the 2 of them. He opened fire, launching his entire arsenal at the creature. The rockets dashed toward the creature's mouth, and after about 15 seconds they made an impact. The blast tears open the monster's head, and its blood splatters in all directions, with bits of flesh, blood and skin painting Crisp’s plane. The corpse plummets down towards the ground below and Crisp gives chase, not wanting any unnecessary collateral damage(he would never hear the end of it if there was). As they fly closer and closer to the ground, Crisp notices that he is in an area where it would be impossible for him to be, based on the location where they were supposed to fly. He sees the jagged desert landscape of Dustmire.

Round of 32: Battle #10

Propaganda:

Sana Bakkoush and Isak Valterson (Skam): These two have such a beautiful growth in their friendship. Their friendship was unexpeced because they are very different people. They start out as adversaries but come to an understanding about each other that helps them become better, more open minded people. "Who would've guessed? The Muslim and the gay guy, best buds." They own my heart!!

Kronk and Yzma (The Emperor’s New Groove): Okay, I know that the movie basically states that they are sleeping together (“her new boy toy”) but honestly they fit the platonic soulmates dynamic so much better! Golden retriever of goodness and grumpy cat!

Fav ship: FireSandRaven.

Fire is with both Sand and Raven while they are just friends.

Raven went to twolegplace instead of the barn (he’s with Princess)

It’s mostly canon complicit but with Fire falling in love with Ravenpaw alongside Sandstorm although a little quicker.

Firestar names Raven Ravenflight.

Fire calls Raven his little birdie and makes flower crowns for him and Sandstorm.

Raven is just nervous dad with Squirrelkit and Leafkit “pls come get them Sand”

Firestar lives up to his name and is the middle spoon. No debate since neither Raven or Sand radiate heat that well. However, when Ravenflight gets nightmares about Tigerstar, he’s immediately put in the middle.

Firestar names Squirrelpaw Squirrelflight and Ravenflight is just in tears while Squif calms him down.

All three of them go on night hunts. Just time away from the clan and responsibilities.

Okay I love FireRaven a lot but add Sand in there? Even better. All their designs I just made up on the spot lol (well Raven I have a concept for but not a finished ref).

Let me get the ID out then I’ll put all my au thoughts on how’d this work under a cut bc I have A LOT of ideas.

(ID- Sandstorm is a long pale brown cat with golden brown down her back, ears, under her eye in a tear like stripe, and on her paws in stripes. She has darker brown on her tail, stripes across her back, hair tuft, paws, and under her eye. Cream is on the back of her legs, belly and muzzle. She is laying across the top around Firestar and Ravenflight. Firestar is on the left and is a fluffy round orange cat with red on his back end, ears, ear tufts, face in stripes and freckles, and paws. Darker orange is on his tail end, hair floof, and nose. Yellow on his belly, ear tips, inner ear fur, chin, and paws. He is laying against Raven, holding him with a smile and his tail wrapping around them. Ravenflight is on the right and is small, curling into Firestar with a small tear in their eye and tail end curling around his back. They are dark gray, purple tinted, with light lavender across the right side of their face in a wing like marking, back of his front leg, paw, on their back in a wing like marking, and in a smaller wing marking under their left eye. A darker black is on his back end, under their right eye in a matching wing pattern and ears. They have large round ears. The faint signature “Nightly Ruse” is in the top right. End ID)

Okay onto the au of how this would work. Instead of Raven running to the twoleg place (tho I think that’s cute esp if he’s who raises Cloud as a parting thing for them as he goes back to the clans) he still goes to the barn. There they are taken in by Barley who helps them discover themselves, help deal with his anxiety, work through his trauma, and discover themselves. This is where they find that they are not only non-binary using he/they but gay and ace. Both him and Barley go back to TC just before the battle where they fight. I like the idea of Raven actually helping a lot of cats from other clans bc he’s gotten out of the clans mindset of hate against everyone else.

When the battle is happening their who sees Firestar crumple to Scourge and they launch out to defend his body, hoping Fire didn’t get the same fate as Tigerstar. I kinda like the idea of instead of Scourge being some half brother of Firestar he’s instead Raven’s brother? Like as a young kit Raven got lost and was found by a kinder cat, taken in by TC but when Tiny tried to find its brother they were instead attacked by Tigerclaw (I’d push back the timeline a bit so Tiger is now a warrior when this happens and instead Blue sees Thistleclaw inside the warriors since Thistle might’ve just died around this time.)

Scourge cracks slightly as it sees their sibling again. Like a reflection of themselves. And Raven stares forward confused as he feels the slightest connection to the blood stained cat before them. “Tiny?” They whisper in a voice barley hearable over the screeches around them. Scourge feels a chill run down it’s body as they remember the whole it felt after their sibling was gone, then to be attacked when it went to find them. Both just stare at each other as they try to process what to do, they can’t attack the other, and so much is happening. Firestar then would pull himself from the floor as his wound seals back together, a new passion in his eyes to defeat the opponent. Just to stop. He’s looking between his best friend and the cat who just murdered him and he can barley tell the difference from just their coats.

I think the battle would end and instead of Fire defeating Scourge they’d call peace. I always loved Bloodclan/Skyclan au’s so I think maybe Bloodclan would either merge with them or take their spot. (Also the idea of Scourge and Squilf resembling each other while Leafstar and Leafpool resemble eachother could be interesting. Like mirrors of the new way as Skyclan comes back. Idk haven’t thought that far)

As the clans are reforming and recovering Firestar, Ravenflight, Sandstorm, and Scourge are sent on a quest to find the missing group of cats. They find the remains of Skyclan though they’d be a actual clan who’s adapted over time to live in their environment, daylight warriors still apart of them. The leader there is cruel though, slowly pushing Skyclan to its breaking point. The group saves them and Scourge would take out the leaders last life, dying there as well at the top of the gorge bathed in the sun’s fiery first light. Leafstar takes up the mantle of Skyclan’s leader and decides they just honor the new time that is before them and rejoin the clans. Fire has his kits at the gorge before they leave and names them Squirrelkit and Leafkit, noticing the markings on his fluffy kit. Her fur as red as the rock and sunrise where she was born but with a paw white like lightning, a paw he knew would bring a new time just as the cat before her had.

This would make it so during PO3 Skyclan would be there. I think Fire, Raven and Sand left before Skyclan did so that Skyclan would be found during TNP by the traveling crew. They’d come over the crest of the rolling hills as the sky turns scarlet when the sun sets, as if the sun marked each great event in their journey.

Onto the actual SandFireRaven relationship tho they are t4t4t as they are all trans, Sand using she/her, Fire using he/him, and Raven using he/they. Sand is demiromantic and bi, Fire is bi poly, and Raven is gay ace. I love Raven and Sand loving Fire and then just being super close friends with one another.

Actually I always liked the idea of Sand and Raven being friends before Fire joined. But as both each other’s situations worsened, and Raven fled they grew apart. When he came back they apologized to each other and become close again. Both are early wakers and always go on Dawn patrol together, Fire is a heavy sleeper and only wakes up when he has to. Sand and Raven conspired together to both ask out Fire and he accepted both!

Ravenflight definitely became a sappy mess when Squirrel was named Squirrelflight. They just started sobbing out of a overload of happiness and shock. The whole family cuddling them as he hugged their daughters. Having learned from Barley I think Raven also helped Sand through a lot of her mental health crises. I hc her as being RunningRed kit so both her parents dying to a cat she looked up to, her best friend leaving her, the whole great battle trauma, and then losing Graystripe to two legs. Like girls been through a lot. I always think of she as a very emotional character to but where she shoves it down until she just explodes and blames herself for everything. Raven and Fire help her learn to talk through her problems and emotions.

Of their cuddling situation I disagree slightly. Sand to me is not a cat who likes to be touched very much unless she touches another first, and i could see her naturally running hotter then her partners so she curls on the outside, often rolling away when she gets a little too hot. Fire is a big fluffy guy so he loves to both cuddle and be cuddled. Raven either curls around him or on particularly hard days they have Fire hold them. They def love to be cuddled especially by Fire bc he’s so freaking fluffy and soft so I think most often Fire holds him, and Sand curls around Fire. When the kits were little Raven and Fire would make a wall around the two munchkins and Sand would sleep right near the entrance to both protect her kits but also since she’s not a particular fan of lots of touching.

So long sorry I just have so many ideas about all three characters especially when paired together. Raven and Scourge as siblings is my favorite tho I had to include it (always disliked Fire and Scourge being related it made so impact and was unimportant to me)

you know that trend on youtube where an artist generates a random clan and then draws them? yeah i did something like that but made it more complicated for myself bc i am a Sadist.

so i went through a bunch of warrior cat name generators here on tumblr (you know the ones; a - apple, b - badger, etc) and got one name from each of them. then i made myself a generator on perchance (you can find it here ) so i could randomly generate a description, gender, sexuality, and personality and match it up to a cat's name.

did i make it needlessly complicated? also yes.

Warrior Cats OCs Part One

I wanted to draw some characters from my Warriors inspired world.

This work doesn’t take place in the same one as canon Warriors, and all characters and places from Warriors don’t exist here.

There are five Prides; Rushing River, Weeping Willow, Hidden Lake, Valley Place and Tidal Cove.

I drew (and colored using water colors) the leader, captain, two medics and den molly of Rushing River.

Leaders don’t have a special name in this world, captains are the equivalent of deputies and a ‘molly’ is a female cat for those who don’t know and I made the word ‘enclaw’ for non-binary cats.

Cometfur, Leader of the Rushing River Pride

A small, black tom with tawny and golden tabby splotches, stripes on tail, paws and tips of ears, with a white jaw and yellow eyes.

He uses he/him pronouns, is pansexual, and mated with his captain, Pineleaper. He has no family inside of the Pride.

He’s considered disabled in the Prides, as he is unable to truly fight, hunt, climb or dig due to being de-clawed by his old human owners, who kept him as a show cat because of his unique pelt.

He’s calculating, smart and calm, but tends to be very nervous during conflicts or arguments. While nearly everyone in his Pride likes him or see’s him as a good member, his rating as a leader is less positive, and it’s not a secret that many cats in his Pride would prefer his mate and captain to be leader instead.

—

Pineleaper, captain of the Rushing River Pride

A long legged, medium furred medium brown tabby molly with sharp stripes, beige chest, jaw, tips of ears, tip of tail, underbelly and paws, with blue eyes.

She uses she/her pronouns, is bisexual and mates with Cometfur. She has no kittens. Her parents are Lightoak and Sunny, and her brother is Hawkstone.

She’s confident and temperamental, and tends to get into arguments, especially with other leaders and captains. Most cats believe that she likes arguing, and she’s quite good at it.

She likes showing off, and her few hobbies include games of chase and tag, battle training and testing her own physical limits. She is the third fastest cat in her Pride, and holds second place in jump distance, which she likes to tell any new cat she meets.

—

Redfur, one of Rushing River’s medics

An average height, short furred tom with medium reddish brown tabby fur, white jaw, belly, chest, paws, tips of ears and tip of tail, with green eyes.

He uses he/him pronouns and is gay. He’s mates with Flowerleaf and adopted father of Lilytail and Juniperpelt. He has no parents in the Pride.

He’s very strict and stern, and unlike his mate, doesn’t like to be out and about, socializing and getting hot in the sun or wet from the rain. He takes himself very seriously and doesn’t like partaking in conversation. His social circle is limited to his mates and children, leader, captain, Tealpebble (the other medic) and his very limited list of friends, who also tend to be serious and stern.

He doesn’t particularly like Tealpebble, but doesn’t let that affect how he well he works with the other medic. He tries to comfort Tealpebble during their emotional breaks, and constantly tries to get them to take a break working, despite knowing that he couldn’t handle being the sole medic.

—

Tealpebble, one of Rushing Rivers medics

An average height, medium furred, medium grey enclaw with a dark grey jaw, neck, chest, underbelly, two paws, two socks and under side of tail, with a few small spots, with teal eyes. (Yes I know one of his ears is backwards. That’s a mistake)

He uses he/they pronouns, is ftm, non-binary, boyflux and pansexual. He’s not mates with anyone, and is the adopted sole parent of Stellarflight and Hollyheart. His parents are Sleeksilver and Skybreeze, and sibling of Longstep and Dewspirit.

He has pretty severe depression, and tends to be very defensive and argumentative due to it. It’s a coping mechanism when he feels particularly bad; it’s a way for him to defend themself against any critique or negativity, and would rather spend his time being angry, then being depressed.

They are single, despite having crushes on many, many different cats within his Pride and the other Prides. They are also the sole parent of his two children, both of which he is very proud of. While he won’t admit it, they’re more proud of their daughter and the Prides den molly, Stellarflight, and finds it amusing, that his son, Hollyheart, acts similar to Redfur. He likes Redfur, despite knowing the (much) older cat doesn’t like them very much.

—

Stellarflight, den molly of the Rushing River

A short, medium furred molly with medium orange fur on her head, chest, belly and front leg, lighter orange on her back, butt, tail and thighs, very light orange socks on her back legs and stipe above nose, and three white paws, with yellow eyes. She is missing her front right leg and tail.

She uses she/her pronouns and is polysexual. She is not mates with anyone. She is the adopted kitten of Tealpebble and sibling of Hollyheart.

She really loves kittens and wants her own litter one day, but she doesn’t feel like settling down quite so soon. She loves her role in her Pride, but also feels a bit bored and trapped, sometimes feeling like she was meant to do more with her life, and she fears that having her own kittens might prevent her from adventuring if she ever wanted to

She has a large friend group, and is one of the prime cats in the five Prides for secret telling, as she never tells anyone what someone else has said, and refuses to partake in gossip. Though she never intends to do anything with other cats secrets and confessions, she would admit that it gives her a teeny sense of power.

—

Please feel free to ask questions!!

I’m really sorry any anyone else has OCs with these names; it’s not my intention to steal or copy /srs

One Piece Shipping War - Round 3 Side D

MiShanks art by @oz-gauze. Check out the original post here.

Propaganda under the cut.

Propaganda for Shanks x Buggy:

What if we were childhood friends who gave up our drama for each other then never saw each other again for years

What can I say, I'm a fellow shuggy truther too 🤝

Shanks obviously adores Buggy, and Buggy is so tsundure~! Mr 'I hate Shanks'-but-will-take-every-opportunity-to-talk-about-him-and-be-with-him.

Oden says in his journal that he can't tell if they're friends of enemies, and I just love that. Plus when you add in the revelation about Shanks and Buggy in the recent chapters.

They're childhood friends. They're exes. They've been married for 20 years. They're opposites. They're the same. They're silly goofy guys who make me want to cry my heart out. Red/Blue is always meant to be.

Buggy """""HATES""""" Shanks. This hate is so strong that he WILL yell at this red-haired bastard despite the fact that he is a coward, who is terrified of all the Emperors. Everyone thinks this is strange. However, when you grow up with said Emperor on the same boat, watching him stumble over his feet as he's trying to learn to use a sword, stuck scrubbing the whole deck because he was stupid enough to prank "Dark King" Rayleigh, and make that same stupid pouty face every time his Conqueror's Haki doesn't do anything because he is an itty bitty child, most of that fear gets pretty quelled. Also, that same fucker lost an arm because he's a DUMBASS and he deserves to be made fun of for it (not because Buggy is worried and missed him not at all no no Shanks is just DUMB and needs to be TOLD he is dumb more. But just by Buggy. Because Buggy has known his idiocy forever. He has earned the right to yell at this stupid, stupid Emperor for being a self-sacrificing fool and for giving away that stupid hat and... Wait, hang on, when did this bastard get hot!? WHAT THE FUC-) And Shanks just keeps smiling at Buggy and his antics because he has 100% been in love with him since they were children (his actions while they were on the Roger pirates are the DEFINITION of pigtail-pulling as flirting) and he is just happy to see that he's safe while being exactly the same larger-than-life clown he always knew. He would gladly give up his life of sluttery (that I am convinced this man has. Just look at how he exists) if Buggy would just agree to join his crew, but will not push him if he doesn't want to. He just loves his pretty clown from a distance and waits. TLDR: Buggy is mad that he's in love with Shanks and Shanks just likes existing with and/or annoying Buggy (they come as a pair). GOD I just love childhood friends to lovers bro. Just let the cabin boys kiss.

[Spoiler Warning] Red and Blue gays! Emperor husbands! Childhood friends to enemies to lovers!

Propaganda for Shanks x Mihawk:

Goth swordsmith & Golden retriever

They’re so funny to me. Like seriously goth Mihawk and happy chaotic Shanks. I just think they could be so good together

They are rivals. They are besties. They are so friggin gay for each other. It's DILF love.

Mihawk being a recluse but going out of his way to visit his bf regularly is proof enough

#one piece #shuggy #shaggy #mishanks #akataka #op shipping war #round 3 #side D #I wonder if this poll will become a bloodbath or if it will go down quietly like shuggy vs shanksbenn #it has potential to become a bloodbath 😂#tournament poll

Chaotic Stranger Things Headcanons because why the fuck not?

Will is the BIGGEST little shit

If Jonathan were to get glasses, Will and Argyle would call him a nerd because they’re mean like that (despite Will being a nerd)

Will stretches like a cat (and Mike may or may not enjoy it because his shirt rides up enough to see his belly)

Animals love Will (he thinks it’s because he smells like Chester but no, he’s just an animal magnet)

Will is super non-threatening however, he could blow up a building if he wanted to (canon)

Brenner throws those bouncy yoga balls at children when they don’t do what he asks (totally not canon, I just find it fucking hilarious)

Will brags about getting more women then Lucas and Dustin despite being gay

Mike and Lucas are type of bros to go into a mall bathroom to make out but like- “no homo”

And Will and Dustin are the type of bros to act like an actual couple “full homo bro”

Lucas is the type of bestie to joke about those “I fucked your mom jokes” and just overall flirt with the rest of the party’s moms

Lucas and Will are like mean girls from the movie “Mean Girls”

Dustin is sick of everyone’s bullshit 24/7

Will is fluent in a few languages and he just yells at homophobes in non-English languages because “wtf could he be saying??!” And they’re scared shitless and Will just- chases them and the party watches from a far

Will “dies” again, but he was really on a vay-cay with a cousin of his and he forgets to tell his mom but he comes back in the middle of the school day, his mom at work and Jonathan at school and there’s this assembly, he goes there dressed up like a damn cowboy and knocks down the door with his boot and yells out “howdy bitches” and hopper is trying not to laugh is ass off

Lonnie falls off a roof while drunk one time and he’s on the news because someone fucking records it and Will and Jonathan see it and almost die of laughter

Lesbian el ❤️💕♥️💗💕💗

Max and Will braid each other’s hair (because I think Will having long hair is amazing)

Mike and Max draw on each other with sharpies whenever the other is asleep

Lonnie being the new and improved “Florida man” (me and Izzy were cracking up too hard with this one)

Max would yell and make fun of her students if she were a teacher

Dustin is a turtle collector, he goes to stores with his friends and he somehow buys a turtle

Max’s favorite word is No

Mike somehow manages to be a golden retriever and a gremlin at the same time

Will, El, and Max make this big cuddle pile

Will and Max have roasting battles (because Will roasts everyone.)

Will is hella fucking sassy

Will enjoys watching horror movies DESPITE living through a literal hell

Will and El give the best hugs and cuddles

Mike gets super fucking whiny when he’s sick

If the party were to all move in together, Dustin would make everyone coffee because he likes pushing the buttons

El hates coffee because it’s too bitter for her, so she just drinks apple juice instead

El steals Jonathan’s camera a lot so she can take pictures of the people she loves most whenever they aren’t looking

Lucas dances weirdly and everyone else just judges him from afar

Everyone (besides el) had a crush on Will at some point because he’s not only cute but he’s also just amazing

Max finds out that Will kissed Mike, Dustin, and Lucas at some point and was just like “yeah! go kiss them losers!”

El LOVES to watch Will do something art related, it’s just so peaceful

Mike gets really good at flirting and really just loses his awkwardness as he grows older

Dustin jokes that he’s gonna say “fuck science, I’ll just be a dumpster driver” a lot when he’s younger but then it actually happens when he’s in college

Steve calls Will “mini byers”

Steve and Will are the best of besties (same with Steve and Dustin but hey, that’s canon)

Steve has the absolute FATTEST crush on Jonathan and rants to Robin, Dustin, and Will because he’s a chaotic bisexual that rants

Nancy is really just a lesbian with internalized homophobia from her stupid ass useless piece of shit dad and tells Steve and Jonathan and they’re both super supportive but they’re both also like “well. that was pointless.”

Robin is in denial with her crush on Nancy

Everyone is gay. No one is straight.

Steve tries using a gun at a monster at some point and he misses every time but he then just throws it at its head like it’ll actually give damage

Steve probably has a daddy kink, whether it’s being called daddy or calling someone (Jonathan) daddy (most likely the second option)

Steve the bisexual king

Will gives everyone rocks and Steve treasures those rocks

Will makes fun of Stonathan but in an affectionate way

Robin laughs like a dying whale, it’s so loud

Mike and Robin are little gremlins together and they annoy Nancy A LOT

Karen adores Will, always has and always will

Steve and Robin make fun of Will for being clumsy

Will makes fun of his trauma and has dark humor

Every time robin walks into the room, someone makes a joke about the Red Robin thing “Red Robin, Yummm”

Robin is the chill lesbian while Nancy is the sassy lesbian

Nancy is unbelievably supportive

After getting to know Robin, Nancy actually starts to open up quite a bit, like she starts to joke more often, she starts getting less serious about things, and she really starts to get out of her shell (she just needed that little push to let her know that it’s ok to not be normal)

Mike makes Nancy get all the spider in the house because he’s too much of a cry baby to do it himself

Mike and Nancy make fun of each other’s crushes on Will and Robin but in a sweet sibling way

Mike popped his nutsack when he was 12 years old and had to go to the hospital (no one lets him live it down)

Mike made cheese as fuck pick up lines towards Will when they were freshmen in high school

Jonathan may be good at cooking but he’s a terrible baker

Jonathan care so much about his family; Joyce and Will, and Steve just adores him for it

Holly loves Will to death

Will and Jonathan being sweet protective siblings and caring for each other to the ends of earth but that doesn’t mean that they don’t make fun of each other

Hopper has the biggest soft spot for Joyce omg

And Joyce sees everyone as her children; Will, Mike, Dustin, Max, Lucas, El, Steve, Robin, Nancy, Jonathan, and Argyle

Argyle loves nothing more than weed

Argyle is just one high bitch 24/7

Dustin is Argyles favorite because he just finds Dustin funky but in the cool type of way

Will is confident as fuck

Elmax are the chillest couple of them all, they just cuddle and make fun of everyone

Hello Bad Children I am Too Gay™️ for Erina Pendleton-Joestar and You Can’t Fucking Stop Me.

Erina Pendleton x Fem!Reader: Just Gals Being Gays

“Lady Erina and her friend are inseparable, the bond they share is that of sisters!”

Oh.

Oh you sweet summer child...

Both of you weren’t really high class growing up, but you went to the same school and grew up close together in the countryside.

Love began when you were children. You always played together, you would have tea together and run off to the fields to play house. Without missing a beat you told her you could be her wife and take care of the “babies” (your dolls).

Once when you were playing house with your dolls, Erina asked innocently if she could kiss you. That wasn’t so strange since in the game you were her “wife” after all. Quickly you obliged her, the love you shared coming so naturally that neither of you questioned it even once.

You loved her because the sun sparkled in her golden locks and brought out the indigo in her eyes, and because when she looked at you life was worth living all the more. She loved the way the moonlight made your eyes bewitching, calling her like siren song to lay against your chest, and because she could not imagine living life without sharing it with you.

That love never wavered, not even when Jonathan came along and you and Erina discovered you could love him as easily as you loved each other.

You and Erina have been hiding your relationship so well for so many years, no one questions if you both disappear at a party or if you share a room together.

If they see you hanging on her arm? Just gals being pals.

Holding hands in church? Good and pure young girls who believe in the Lord™️.

One time you kissed her goodbye in front of her parents and Jonathan, and nobody batted an eyelash.

You and Erina once disappeared at a ball for nearly four hours, returned with no makeup, and wearing each other’s clothes.

“Oh isn’t Erina such a darling? Her dear friend had an unsightly stain on her gown, so she gave up hers! How generous!”

heLP LORDT.

Robert E. O. Speedwagon is the only chap who knew immediately what the fuck was up.

Became your unofficial big gay brother.

You are his precious bisexual childe and he will die for you and your girlfriend.

When Erina and Jonathan were married they brought you along and no one said a word, after all they planned to be gone on honeymoon for quite some time and needed “a governess”. According to Erina’s father not hell or high water could separate your “sisterly bond”.

It really creeps you both out when you hear those comments and you both scream about it in horror when you’re in bed at night.

You’re the one everyone flocks to like cats to a warm patch of sunlight. If Joseph got in trouble with Granny he ran to you first, crying into your lap and begging to be left off the hook. George II was your Georgie Porgie for the entirety of his life and didn’t sit in his own chair until he was seven, having to do battle with Lisa Lisa over a spot in your lap.

Unfortunately the same tragedy that left Erina a widow and Lisa Lisa an orphan left you paralyzed from the waist down.

Badass that you were, you helped Erina raise two children and a babey Jojo. It was exhausting with two children when you both were younger, it was a common sight to see you fast asleep by the cradles while George and Lisa Lisa crawled all over your lap.

Erina will never divulge the full secret of your injuries, but she knows you have such a devotion to your babies because of what would have been your own little “Jojo”.

Sometimes, if one listens closely, they can hear Erina soothing you with soft words.

“Joanna would have been so proud of Joseph.” You murmur. “Wouldn’t she dearest?”

“Yes darling. She would have been overjoyed to see him married.” Erina whispers back.

Even at the age of 70, Erina will kneel on the ground and lay her head in your lap as you stroke her hair. It’s something you both often did together when you were young. It’s a bit hard for her to get up after nowadays, but you’ll steady her.

Eventually as you both get older she too must rely on a wheelchair to get by, and you both make a very picturesque couple snuggling together in your minks and pearls.

You’re both far more open as you age, but the best part is no one seems to care. It is a rare thing to share such a passionate, humbling love.

rewatching 6x11 for podcast prep so let’s have some fun this beat is sick

no really, the score for this magic battle is great i love it

we had originally planned to do an episode about all the series references to harry potter over the hiatus and now i’m so very sad we didn’t bECAUSE,,,,,,

mxy is laying out this ye olde folktale like we’re about to get deathly hallow’d

anyway then we get some speedy setup for the main question of the season, which is: what ultimately gives us power— our abilities or what we choose to do with them?

fun fact this concept was also relevant to kara’s arc in season 3 when she was stuck in her mind palace and that was also a harry potter nod [x]

you all have no idea how many unprompted musical interludes we cut from our show but mxy attempting to sing his exposition here truly sparked joy

Every time they mention that Nyxly’s brother is named “Jared,” my brain immediately cuts to this SNL sketch:

youtube

who are you, nyxly?

ANYWAY,

we’re also going to search for horcruxes i guess because there are seven totems but apparently they can be anything so i really hope they go for a visual gag like the pieces of eight from pirates of the caribbean world’s end because those were literal pocket litter

hey neat mxy explaining this whole blood requirement for magic that will definitely not be relevant again later in this episode 😈🧙🏻

and then, what’s this? a golden child and a scapegoat? surely that’s not a thing that happens in families with narcissistic parents and we are in no way being set up for more foil character stuff 👀

oh nia, your mom was right about the level of screw-up you did, but also your hair looks amazing

also the show has been going hard on Into the Woods motifs since 6x09 and here we have a cool subversion of Your Fault in which everyone feels overly responsible for what’s happened instead of trying to deflect the blame onto each other

a song that is, delightfully, interrupted by the Witch so she can gloat about how they’re all going to be squashed flat by a giant so i mean. giant cat works?

awww, this whole storyline with brainy and nia was so good we love healthy communication

also, the scene with nia and kara??? HEART EYES

hey look it’s those two friends who thought that using the most romantic line in "titanic" to seal their bond was somehow not even a little bit gay but this episode written by queer people knows exactly how gay it was and i just think that’s beautiful

i have been joking for literally three years about how they’ve been using elements of Wicked in this series and it’s always been tied to lena, so i am fucking rolling with laughter at this having a sudden and unexpected payoff

okay so that scene with kara jumping back afraid @ the phantom zone projector was was such a good reveal of how very Not Okay she is (and how not okay alex is either), and then her determination to Fix Everything even though she can’t is another part of that :(

really loving nyxly being like SOCIAL DISTANCING! with every zap of magic at her minion pal

was a cat the cheapest render they could get??? like. don’t get me wrong it’s so damn chaotic and weird and a way nyxly would get under kara’s skin but also it screams "i am conserving my budget"

nia has such fun mix of both kara and alex’s worst self-sacrificing qualities; also we love brainy using his unfortunate family legacy powers for good

nyxly is out here looking like a female jack sparrow and i so want this now

andrea like "the unknown is always scarier than the truth" tHIS IS ALSO RELEVANT TO INTO THE WOODS so i’m glad we’re leaning into all the witch stories all at once

speaking of which, they have held out for so long on doing a typically dramatic adoption-oriented storyline about birth parents and i’m frankly so glad they just went all in on making it as ridiculously campy as silver banshee’s origin story in season one i am hERE FOR IT

bonus points for the super 90s Practical Magic vibe to all the "lena’s mom" images and also for you have your mother’s eyes but to the extreme

nyxly @ mxy like

i really loved the conclusion to mxy’s arc that they put in this episode??? he’s so touched that they all want to help him and then he decides to help them in return even though it comes at great personal cost we love to see this continued depiction of kara’s legacy as a hero and that it’s really her compassion and willingness to Hope that are the winning factors

also, nia. my beautiful daughter. please hire me to interpret your dreams because i’m pretty sure you’re seeing a hint that you need lena to destroy that orb

#i just have a lot of feelings #season six

X-Men Abridged: 1977

The X-Men, those starjammin' mutants that have sworn to protect a world that hates and fears them, are a cultural juggernaut with a long, tangled history. Want to unravel this tapestry? Then read the Abridged X-Men!

(X-Men 103 - 108) - written by Chris Claremont and art by Dave Cockrum, Bob Brown and John Byrne

The fabled M’Kraan Crystal, a.k.a. Everything’s a butt plug if you’re brave enough. (X-Men 107)

When we last left our X-Men, they were being pummelled into a paste by Black Tom and the Juggernaut at the ancestral Cassidy Keep. Only Nightcrawler was out of their clutches, because he was saved by elves. (All Irish keeps have elves, plz don’t question it.) Apparently, Juggernaut and Black Tom have been holding the inhabitants of the castle hostage under the orders of Eric the Red. Black Tom plans to mindrape the X-Men to lure Charles to Ireland to kill him, which… er… Wouldn’t it be easier to go back to the USA now that Charles is mostly unprotected? Most of the the X-Men are in Oire right now!

Nightcrawler incidentally discovers he turns invisible in the shadows, and it makes total sense that he only realizes this now, because they have no shadows in Germany. Eh, nobody remembers he has this power these days anyway, so! Moving briskly on!

Kurt surprises the gay villainous duo by pretending to be a surprisingly spry Xavier. (Image inducer ftw.) While trying to turn Nightcrawler into a smear of blue fuzz, Juggernaut punches through a wall, exposing Storm to the sky and releasing her from the tight grip of her claustrophobia.

Very few things fill me with more delight than seeing Storm doing loop-de-loops. (X-Men 103)

Storm frees the rest of the X-Men. In the final battle, Banshee tussles with Tom, tossing him off the ramparts and straight into the choppy ocean. Even though tossing a villain into the water is an absolutely sure-fire way to guarantee they'll survive, Juggernaut jumps in after him, desperate to save his boyfriend. Friend. Whatever.

Hilariously, the people at marvel.fandom hate this issue and plotline, saying it’s more riddled with plot holes than Swiss cheese. For example, the elves reveal Wolverine’s real name - Logan - which… “This issue implies that the leprechauns have some prior knowledge of, and even a connection to Wolverine. This plot point, however, was completely dropped and never referenced again (which is probably for the best, considering how goofy it is.)”

I mean, they’re not wrong.

So. Hey. You ready for things to get weird?

Moira has received a VAGUE BUT DISTRESSING call for help from Muir Isle. Off-screen she got upgraded to being an associate at Edinburgh University who owns a lab in Scotland. She left some dude named Jamie Madrox in charge, which - Moira, you have a Phd, you should be able to tell that Madrox is an absolute (entertaining) mess of a person.

Also super surprised that Jamie Madrox was conceived in the seventies, but whatever.

In order to check out the lab, the X-Men rent a hovercraft, which explodes just off the shore of Muir Isle.

Get a bucket and a mop for this wet-ass fuzzy. (X-Men 104)

They are beset on all sides, before being pulled into the laboratory by… MAGNETO?

Magneto accusing anybody other than Dr. Doom or Namor of all-consuming arrogance shows us that self-awareness can’t be taught. (X-Men 104)

Cyclops arrives by airplane, reuniting with the team, while also talking to Moira and Madrox. Absolutely bonkers revelations are made in the space of three pages:

Moira’s lab is a secret Mutant Research Centre. (uh…)

In the Defenders-comic, Magneto was de-aged into a baby. (...what?!)

‘Research Centre’ is a Scottish synonym for a penal colony for all kinds of dangerous mutants, like baby Magneto, Dragonfly, Unus and the mysterious Mutant-X. (...what?!)

Moira quite cavalierly experiments on prisoners and babies. She also has a machine that can manipulate age. Xavier knows and is fine with all of this. (wtf!?!?)

This is such a bonkers, messy way to rewrite both Moira and Magneto. Like, I can’t.

Eric the Red freed Magneto and then used the aging machine to turn Magneto back into an adult man at the peak of his powers. This Magneto is understandably upset at having been turned into a science lab experiment/baby and he mops the floor with the X-Men.

Cyclops makes the executive decision to flee Muir Isle, because they have no chance against Magneto and he now realizes Professor X is unprotected and probably at the mercy of Eric the Red. Wolverine calls him a big fat sissy to his face.

I kind of dig that the X-Men don't win a lot of their fights yet. They’re still treated as relatively unseasoned, especially as a team, and they don’t automatically win at the end of every story. It also gives Magneto more oomph as a villain.

Anyway, when the X-Men arrive at the mansion, they’re defeated by Firelord, Galactus’ former herald. He’s been duped into attacking them by Eric the Red. Firelord is convinced the X-Men are the villains, because Eric went with the Wounded Gazelle Gambit: he even knocked out Havok and Polaris to pretend he was attacked by our merry mutants. (Next time we see them, they’re back to their normal, non-brainwashed selves.)

In her new apartment, Jean is introducing her parents and Professor X to her new girlfriend roommate Misty Knight when princess Neramani (of, uh, space) teleports into the room. And then Firelord attacks Charles! Jean has absolutely zero chill for all of this.

I know very little about Misty Knight, but every time she appears, she responds to anything remotely surprising by drawing her gun. I assume she shoots her paper boy every morning. (X-Men 105)

The entire point of this issue is to show how big a threat Phoenix is. Claremont originally wanted to use a big name like Thor or the Silver Surfer, but editorial nixed that: they feared that it would be emasculating for a popular character to be beaten by a girl. Once again, this proves how badly the Phoenix storyline was needed. Did Jean single-handedly introduce feminism to superhero comics? I’mma say yes.

With Jean distracted and Charles teaching Lilandra English telepathically so he can woo the pretty space-lady and/or get an explanation as to why the universe is ending, Eric the Red strikes, revealing himself to be: SHAKARI.

Yeah, no, I don’t recognize the name either, but the dude’s been working on this reveal for a while, so just let him have it.

He absconds with Lilandra through the Stargate and switches it off, just as the X-Men arrive. Jean casually turns it back on and because the Professor is all, “we’ve got to save her! I mean the universe!”, the X-Men jump through the gate.

Jean’s parents are all out of wtfs to give.

We take a break from Shi´Ar shenanigans with an inconsequential filler issue, where we flashback to Xavier while he was being driven crazy by his Space Trek dreams. It’s established that Moira and Xavier are ex-lovers and that Xavier’s melodramatic subconscious wants to kill the new X-Men. (Probably not for real, but who knows.) Next!

Still a better villain than Onslaught. (X-Men 106)

Anyway, the X-Men find themselves surrounded by aliens in front of the ginormous M’Kraan Crystal. The Shi’Ar are all: ‘dafuq you’re doing here’, Cyclops is all: ‘We’re here for Lilandra’, and the Shi’Ar are all: ‘You mean our prisoner and rogue princess?’ Scott decides that gathering more information is for losers and starts blasting, triggering a fight with the Imperial Guard.

Lilandra, meanwhile, is in the hands of Shakari and her big brother, Emperor D’Ken. He releases some nebulously defined monster - a Soul Drinker - to kill Lilandra. Nightcrawler saves her from its murderous clutches by teleporting two people for the very first time. Lilandra doesn’t barf up her insides, which is apparently a test of character, and proceeds to explain what’s what.

First, she tells the X-Men that she felt Professor Xavier when he was doing the telepathic care bear attack against the Z’Nox way back in the sixties and that she felt instantly drawn to him. She also explains that she’s D’Ken’s younger sister and leading a rebellion against her mad, power hungry brother. Why is he mad? Well...

The X-Men vs. Astrology! Riveting. (Still a better villain than Onslaught.) Although, “I’m a Pisces” sounds a lot lamer than “I was born under the Nine Death Stars. (X-Men 107)

The guy in the mohawk is Gladiator, he is consistently the worst. Even when Lilandra reveals that opening that gate triggers the End of All That Is, he’s still all: “Juuust following orders.”

The Imperial Guard goes in for a smackdown, but the X-Men are fortunately saved by the Starjammers. (Space pirates, not an 80’s rock group.) They are:

Corsair, a debonair dude with one golden earring. Pretty obviously a human.

Raza, cyborg with a temper and somehow bald whilst rocking a ponytail.

Ch’od, lizard creature. Has a white fluffy spider monkey-thing that I don’t recognize and but is apparently called Waldo Ch'ee. (I pray it just got lost in Marvel history and that it doesn’t get squashed at some point. It’s adorable.)

Hepzibah, cute cat girl with a gun. Involved with Corsair, except he can’t pronounce her name so he just gave her the completely unrelated nickname Hepzibah? Dude!

Jean, having learned psychic etiquette from Charles Xavier, immediately violates their privacy and scans their minds, figuring out that Corsair is Scott’s dad. Superficial telepathic read, my ass.

Meanwhile, power builds up in the M’Kraan Crystal and the universe briefly blinks out of existence, threatening to tear open the fabric of the universe if this keeps up. To emphasize that this is a Big Honking Deal, we cut to Earth where the Avengers, Fantastic Four and Peter Corbeau (rumored to have an IQ over 200) are all: oy, did the universe just stop existing?

That’s Hank McCoy for “we’re fucked’”. Hi Jimmy Carter! (X-Men 108)

Apparently, this is the year the X-Men can’t catch a break, because after being beaten by the Juggernaut, Magneto and the Imperial Guard, they are soundly trashed by Jahf, the Guardian of the Crystal. That is, until Phoenix drops a small meteor on him. In a story beat that I really like, Jahf isn’t fazed at all: the Phoenix, despite her immeasurable power, isn’t omnipotent. Sometimes, you need a scalpel instead of a sledge hammer: it’s Banshee whose sonic scream can scramble the guardian’s circuitry.

Unfortunately, defeating the first guardian only awakens a second, stronger one, so…

Raza decides he’s had enough of this nonsense and, displaying admirable proactive problem solving skills, simply tosses D’Ken into the M’Kraan crystal. Presumably, the Crystal is annoyed at being attacked by someone who also has an unnecessary apostrophe in their name, and it lashes out, trapping everyone involved in their own personal hell. For Jean, this is apparently death, but she’s all: “Um, I was recently deceased, no big deal,” and snaps out of it.

The Phoenix reaches out the crystal, which is slowly cracking under the weight of the universe. (Same.) If it shatters, it will destroy the universe, devouring all . Think of it as a cosmic reset button. The Phoenix is its opposite, a bringer of energy and life, so it might be able to fix the crystal. Problem is, Jean has trouble remaining anchored in this reality, because she’s being absorbed by the crystal.

OKAY. SO MANY THINGS TO LOVE. Even when allied with a cosmic force, Storm proves she’s our queen. Furthermore, other than Jean/Scott, Ororo/Jean might the most fleshed out relationship among these new X-Men at this point. Their friendship is consistently a highlight.

Also, rough, rough day for Corsair. (X-Men 108)

Phoenix mends the crystal with a lot of mystical space mumbo jumbo and… er, that’s it. Cosmic balance restored, she poofs the X-Men home.

Lilandra tags along with them, explaining that D’Ken’s tinkering with the Crystal left him catatonic and unfit to rule. As his sister, she’s the rightful heir, but since she also led a rebellion, she kind of cancelled by her empire. She announces she will stay on Earth with Charles while the Shi´Ar iron out the details of the succession. So, instead of consolidating her power base and claim to the throne, she peaces out to explore her feelings for the hairless pink alien who can peek into her brain. Solid.

And with that final bit of space opera, we say goodbye to Dave Cockrum and welcome artist John Byrne. The Claremont/Byrne-run is widely seen as the definitive X-Men run, so hold onto your butts and let’s see where the Phoenix takes us, shall we?

Didn’t you take Art History? I stand by my space mumbo jumbo comment from earlier, but check out these Byrne-pages:

Chef’s kiss. (X-Men 108)

Ugliest Costume: I have a fierce hatred for the Shi'ar's weird wispy triangular hair/feather/thingies, but those are technically not costumes. So: Lilandra, why is your boob window a bug?

Best new character: I’m not much of a fan of space operas or the Shi’Ar and their extended court, but I do have a soft spot for the Starjammers, Hepzibah in particular. I fondly remember her being a part of the X-Men at some point in the future, although I don't think her actual unpronounceable name ever gets revealed.

Most audacious retcon: Moira the housekeeper is actually an evil morally complicated mad scientist.

What to read: Issue 105, 107 and 108, for all your Phoenix Saga needs.
