Prompt 197

“Guys look, I got us pet rocks!” 

“That’s nice- Danny, why are the rocks moving?” 

“Ectoplasm. Obviously. They eat bad emotions, isn’t that cool?!” 

“They aren’t going to get that big though, right? I mean, we’re moving to the countryside but still.”

“I mean, they shouldn’t? Dang, maybe I should have asked Dora more questions…” 

#Dcxdp #Dpxdc #Prompts #Team Phantom moves to Smallville #With their pet rocks that do in fact grow #There’s a giant stone crab with part of a forest on its back #And a ray-thing buried under their fields napping until lightning storms #And a meteorite whale thing #to name the biggest 3 #Clark LOVES visiting the neighbors whenever he comes back home #He gets swarmed by the pet rocks #He also eventually gets permission to take a couple of tiny ones to give to his friends #Bruce is staring blankly at the Very Tiny gargoyle staring up at him with bits of black ecto lichen mimicking his cowl #Why yes the pet rocks are indeed influenced by the person they’re with and their surroundings

Shoutout to those whose burnout never felt like a controlled bush fire, but felt as a forest fire consuming everything in its path. To those whose burnout didn't blossom into new life on the forest floors, but whose burnout has only left charred bark and silence in its wake. There's nothing wrong with you. Burnout can feel like a wound sometimes, a secret you keep to yourself out of shame. Your forest is not ruined. The fire wasn't your fault. If something will start to blossom in that forest, it will take time. It will be small. But it will be life.

#positivity #encouragement #encouraging words #burnout #i thought of the english class i took where i had to write and i panicked... #...and that just... makes me sad to know i'm still in that burnout. i grieve the time lost #my burnout never felt small or controlled. it was a forest fire that raged through the entire thing. the entire forest is on fire #and that fire drives out all the life - it saps it out like a tapped tree #i don't know if i will ever write again but whatever grows in my forest can be different but still just as good #it will be better but it will be different #i guess i just need to wait and cultivate my forest to be ready for such a case

Kingdom Hearts - Wonderland

#kingdom hearts #kh1 #wonderland #scenery #my gif #i like that there are so many ways to interact with the environment in this world #all of the things to discover in the bizarre room; helping the flowers in the forest; the chairs in the garden; growing big or shrinking #feels very fitting for a place like this #actually i discovered something new just by wandering around to make this gif set #and it left me stunned because i thought i saw all there was to see #it was a treasure chest that appears after defeating all of the enemies in the room you first spawn in (first gif) #but i never stuck around long enough to trigger it i guess?? always thought a room like that was a safe zone. you get a megalixir btw

Embrace the mold. Become one with the mycelium network.

#love to think Poison Mushroom is an orphaned fungal forest creature that Licorice found and adopted #Red Velvet enjoys their company greatly. The process of growing immunity to their poison is quite taxing though #lol #velvet’s art #cookie run #red velvet cookie #poison mushroom cookie #licorice cookie #<- cameo

you see, i don't hate ivypool, but i also think dovewing should be legally allowed to kill her if she ever wants to at this point because come on

#warrior cats #dovewing #ivypool frustrates me because she would be so much more interesting if they actually acknowledged that she was an arsehole in canon #or so much more likeable as a person if she grew out of her weird controlling thing with her sister's love life once they were both adults #but alas and alack we're stuck in a weird limbo where she is Perfect and so much Cooler and Tougher than her sister bc Girlboss #but also never really gets to grow or change as a person beyond being a shitty teenager in oots #i like her best as a weird normal guy stuck in a Situation in dark forest maps bc i did enjoy her oots chapters a lot though #peak wacky warrior cats magic bullshit after the broken code. sick of ivypool yelling at dovewing hashtag girlboss moments tho

To me, Legolas--cheerful, optimistic, courageous, gregarious--comes across as someone who had a happy childhood. And that hits hard, especially knowing that by his birth, the Greenwood was already declining into Mirkwood, the shadow of Sauron’s spirit spreading and poisoning the land. Already Greenwood was far diminished from what it was--Thranduil led home less than a third of the forces Oropher had marched to Mordor in the War of the Last Alliance. Thranduil himself, whether you take for canon the movie interpretation of his injuries in the War of Wrath and the death of his beloved wife, is someone who is almost certainly carrying considerable trauma. He is canonically Doriathrim which suggests that at the least he survived two kinslayings against his people. Given that he lived in Beleriand at the time it feels safe to assume he fought in the WoW. We know he accompanied Oropher to Mordor during WLA and watched his father’s early charge lead to his death--and early in the fight, too. Thranduil was crowned king on the battlefield and had to finish the war before leading the Greenwood’s tattered army home.

And yet.

And yet Legolas seems emotionally healthy, well-adjusted, comfortable in himself and his surroundings, willing and able to make quick friends, admires his father, and speaks only ever with the greatest fondness of his home. Legolas is happy. Despite having grown up in the shadow of Mirkwood, despite his father’s trauma, despite the decline of his home realm--he, to my eye, shouts of someone who was raised in a happy home, by people who loved him. In LotR, Gandalf says of Legolas that he has lived “in joy” in the Woodland Realm.

Which means that Thranduil--and likely many others in Mirkwood--put in real effort to make Legolas’ childhood as safe and happy as they possibly could. I think for Thranduil, having experienced the trauma that he did--and possibly being scarred by the deaths of Elured and Elurin, and the kidnapping of Elrond and Elros--it was of heightened importance that he do everything within his power to raise his own child in as much joy and security as he could.

It just makes me emotional, thinking that despite the despair threatening them and the dangers facing the Woodland Realm and the fact that the time of the Elves in Middle-earth was waning, Legolas was raised in such love that it comes through so clearly in his character, even centuries after he was grown.

#thranduil #legolas #lotr #the hobbit #tolkien tag #I've reached the Third Age section of Unfinished Tales #and tbh the more I read about the past of Mirkwood the more astounding it is that Legolas was raised so well #I think Thranduil would have killed himself to give this kid a happy childhood #he may not be able to stop sauron or heal the forest by BY ERU he is going to make sure Legolas grows up resilient and joyful #thranduil defense

Getting emotional about the salmon run again…

#solarpunk #no but seriously the way the indigenous people light fires to welcome the salmon home #and then wait to harvest them till enough have passed by #and the bears eat the salmon and their bodies rot to feed the soil #and that grows new trees that nourish the indigenous people and transpire rain #that keeps the water cycle in motion and feeds the sea #like nooooo I can’t my heart #hopepunk #environmentalism #social justice #cottagepunk #community #optimism #bright future #climate justice #tidalpunk #ecosystem #salmon #bears #forests

Elladan, elrohir, and legolas are exploring in a forest:

Elladan: hey legolas! Look what we found!

Eleohir: *pulls out a small figurine* who would loose something like this?

Legolas, knowing damn well not to fuck around and find out: Put. It. Back. Put it back. Put it back, or so help me god- i don’t wanna know where you found it, i don’t wanna know how you found it. I want a nice relaxing 2075. I do not want nor need whatever hocus spokus pilatus pas eldritch being bullshit, and you don’t want that either.

Legolas: so put the damn thing back right now or i’ll leave your fate to whatever demonic being you pissed off.

Elrohir and elladan: 🥺😢 ok

#legolas did not grow up in the deep forest without developing a healthy dose of respect for all that goes bump in the night #elladan and elrohir are good marshmellows #but they’re a little city folkish at times #lord of the rings #lotr #lotr elves #the hobbit #legolas #silvans #mirkwood #incorrect tolkien quotes #incorrect lotr quotes #incorrect hobbit quotes #elladan #elrohir

do you think you’ll keep the part about Needle ultimately sacrificing her life to save Violet? it was one of the few deaths in the series that actually tugged at my heartstrings, and it sucked that nothing ever internally came of it for Violet

ABSOLUTELY 100%, I wouldn't dream of axxing that part. What I want to do with it, in particular, is deeply reframe it.

Needletail gives her life for Violet, dies trying to atone for a massive mistake she made in supporting Darktail from the beginning and keeping Mistfeather's murder to herself, but... that doesn't make up for what she's done.

They were all young and mislead. Needletail never should have been responsible for another child; but she'll demand for Rowanstar to back up her claim out of entitlement. She realizes that she's done something awful by separating the sisters, and lands them all in trouble by having them meet secretly. She loves Darktail's capricious rules and how they can control others together-- until the rules apply to her too.

And Violetshine deals with that, forever. She's actually ending up in a polycule in BB; with Tree and with Dragonfly. She has a hard time trusting anyone outside of her mateships. Her adopted siblings adore her and miss her, but she can't handle ever going home because of what ShadowClan and The Kin did to her.

Needletail died for her, after living a selfish life. She was her best friend and the reason why her life was a living hell. A grand gesture can't make up for all that.

What I like about them is how painful and complicated that is... and how little time it takes for Violetshine to suddenly be the same age as Needletail was when she died. They were both just kids. And Needletail never truly became an adult.

#BB!AVOS #Better bones au #BB!Needletail also ends up in the Dark Forest... though that's a sort of mixed bag because the DF isn't as bad as canon #But it will make BB!Violetshine upset. #Because she's never really gonna be able to let that anger go but Needletail was a teenager at the worst points of her life #And it feels so ferociously unfair that she's never going to be allowed to grow past that #Tbh Needle should have been in the DF all along because these books have ALWAYS been too lenient with placement #LET STARCLAN BE UNFAIR ON PURPOSE

Can't remember if I've made this post before, but eh, why not repeat.

The Accidental Warlord AU needs a daycare/nursery at Kaer Morhen, SPECIFICALLY so that Geralt can go play with all the babies, toddlers, small children, etc and hide from his responsibilities.

Just IMAGINE how adorable he'd be, buried in little tykes, play-wrestling with them, or reading to them, or cuddling them to sleep.

Their parents come to pick them up, and are immediately like "....uh, I need to have FIVE DOZEN MORE CHILDREN NOW, just so I can hang them off the horribly terrifying Warlord of the North, who can be completely disarmed with exactly ONE (1) small child."

After about the fifth time that various members of the council have to pry Geralt away from the nursery, the children start hiding him.

Well. Attempting to hide him.

Please imagine:

Eskel has been sent to fetch both Geralt and Jaskier, who had previously been sent to fetch the runaway lord. He walks in to find

- 1 suspiciously Warlord sized lump, covered in a truly hideous afghan (it was an early project of Ciri's, Geralt adores it but made the mistake of taking it to the nursery ONCE and has never been able to able to reclaim it since)

- 3 gleefully giggling children sitting atop said suspiciously-sized blanket-covered lump

- one missing Consort instructing said children - and several stuffed animals - on proper tea party etiquette (he may or may not be playing his lute - I bet one of his spares has made its way down there after how many times Geralt has hidden among the children)

- one Consort's bodyguard (Aubry) with two toddlers in his lap and three more cuddled close, all listening to a story about birds (illustrated by Aleksander, obviously)

And if you think that Eskel escapes the tea party ding dong you're wrong

#the witcher #accidental warlord au #inexplicifics #eventually the entire council just joins the tea party #they discuss the dandelions growing in the forest #and how foxes are hunting too many butterflies #very important news in the nursery #lambert owes the cookie jar approx ten dozen cookies for swearing
