TSATS teasers again :3 last of the year! It's a long one tho

so remember how Loki went poof?

needless to say, Aaravos is worried

and looking for them

Loki is incredibly unconcerned

and somewhat put out

Aaravos is still worried and searching

Terry my beloved <3

Terrance, not Terrestrius

Aaravos learns about the Avengers from a probably underpaid cashier in London

Hi Wanda

she is Romani and Jewish here, as she's meant to be <3

Going from London to New York is easy when you can teleport

Loki wants to know why Tony calls them Reindeer Games, so it's movie night now

until Aary comes in guns blazing and runes ready

oh my goodness poor Avengers XD so panicky

Xadia doesn't have hot cocoa yet

Hawkeye has questions

Loki has answers

Aaravos has kisses

"As am who now?" <- I like this line shfjf

Loki: Thanos can track infinity stones

Aaravos: WE ARE OUT OF HERE RIGHT TF NOW

Loki: please darling relax he's way far away

Aaravos: :( *okay* but at the FIRST SIGN of him...

Twilight Sparkle XD

PETER my beloved

CHEESY *throws pillow at Aaravos* CORNY

*yeets pillow at Loki also* CHEESYYYYY

Natasha decided Loki is not a threat. Aaravos's response: kill murder kill death am I banned from tiktok yet

Chanukiyah :D

Hanukkah x Christmas x Yule equals fun for everyone here and also Aaravos has no idea what any of this is supposed to be like

Happy Janice

mistletoe

is not Loki's favorite tradition

Storytime

Hunting time! *blows horn*

wait whoops not yet first two more partygoers and an explanation

and then threats time

and bragging time

and NOW it's hunting time

Magic fight!

(that was not gonna happen except we got a comment. those matter!)

(and now we have two of them)

Celestiale and what may or may not be underage drinking. Depends on your universe, I suppose

Vis!

Siblings :D

PRESENT TIME

I love present time

for multiple reasons

aieeeeeeeeee *flappy hands from cute*

Do you think that -in the inevitable MK vs. his friends confrontation- Mei will accidentally seriously hurt him with the Samadhi fire? 🤔

Since strong emotions can cause it to run haywire, and there is nothing that would make her more afraid than having to fight her best friend.

There is NO way that they are completely done with the Samadhi fire. (Unless she lost it?? Subodhi did say she 'once' wielded it. So not anymore???)

But yeah- I bet it would come back into play during the MK/Mei battle. Especially if LBD mistook MK‘s destiny for her own. (Since that one vision she showed made it look like MK was burning before the world exploded. And she wanted everything he ended up having; the staff, his own powers, the Samadhi fire -indirectly, and well, a new title that implies destruction on a reality shattering scale.)

My view is that post the Embrace Your Destiny special, they resealed the Samadhi Fire (unsure if Mei still has her piece with her or if they successfully resealed it into 3 rings this time). We at the very least know she doesn't have it in s4 (MK has to save her in 4x01, she's worried about losing her sword in 4x05 which she didn't need with the Samadhi Fire in EYD, the Subodhi quote you mentioned). But, I don't think Mei using the Samadhi Fire again is completely out of the question. There are things that have come back that I never expected to be acknowledged again (The 1x01 seal being the same as the 4x01 and 4x14 flower fruit mountain seal was a huge shocker for me).

So the Samadhi Fire coming back into play with the MK/Mei battle? That would work super well! Especially with the way characters tend to reach for power and endanger their loved ones. It's a huge risk to take again, but if they feel they don't have any other choice it's something we know they're willing to resort to.

#tbh I'm expecting LBD's visions to be recontextualized at some point #as well as like #what she needed MK for and her og plan to ''undo the memories of the world''#Now that the scroll of memory is a thang #And as far as I can tell the scroll is not a thang from jttw #meaning it's an lmk original #also meaning that MK is like. For CERTAIN tied to the scroll being an lmk original himself #Like how many scenes can we have of MK being othered from his friends before I go mad #Like in 3x09 when he doesn't recognize the place where they sealed the rings but everyone else does #Or in 4x02 where the scroll of memory has everyone except MK on there (including LBD and SQ for some reason)#Or at the end of 4x14 where they're like ''this is what real heroes look like'' and MK isn't there #''I wonder when we'll meet my ancestor'' and then we don't meet his ancestor but we meet everyone else's #Come on lmk bring it full circle do it for me #''A simple creature—with no past no family and no name.'' inch resting #a being with no memories and no memories of them eh #I swear it's connected #Which is funny because I had accepted that they had just retconned the erasing memory bit #But now I'm thinking it's cause MK was needed for that part #''You're right MK. Without you none of this would have been possible—a delivery boy to the end'' or. or a harbinger perhaps #Hmm I went a little off the rails in the tags but when don't I #lmk #lego monkie kida #asks #hero mei warrior mk

You know... watching a tv show via a streaming service really kinda... makes you realize how much the art of it is constrained by the medium; specifically ad breaks

Like, they actively disrupt the flow of things because they need a chance to insert commercials, and even if you're not watching it with commercials, there's something forever built in to the timing of the show that's specifically for those commercials

The entire pacing of the show is forced to be warped around it and it's not like that can every be changed cause... show's been shot

Just kinda sucks you know? That cause of toyota or pepsi or all the other pricks who gotta run the ads, a whole lot of shows (good and bad) have ended up having to build in this concession

No grand narrative here, it's just a little bit ass

#I know I sometimes talk about this thing that I've picked up with writing which I refuse to infect anyone else with #this secret aesthetic rule that ever since I noticed I can't unnotice it and it's just a pain in the ass extra layer to think about #well I'll say that this post has very nicely conformed to what I'm looking for #I'm over all quite pleased... my one complaint is if only I could find a way to make that last sentance end around 'have'#that's the length I'd want it; but getting the words across always has to come first #...but this is why I don't share what's going on in my head here #cause I don't want anyone else to be sitting their writing and thinking #can I shorten 'There's no grand narrative I have here; I just think it's kinda ass'#down to that first 'have' while still keeping the meaning similar?#cause I'm about to give it a thought because that would make this post so much better...#hmm... yes; I did it and I think I managed to keep a similar meaning and now it's much better... though...#maybe if I lengthen the previous paragraph just a little that would be a smidge better #looks very nice now; what a huge waste of time; this is why I don't tell you what I'm trying to do #once I saw it as important I couldn't unsee it; a post mentioned it #you probably wouldn't get as focused on it; but like... let's just not contaminate you #and it's not like some fun conspiracy forbidden knowledge #it's just a dumb aesthetic choice I've started caring about #mm tag so i can find things later

I’m pretty sure all of us have thought that Steve has seen Eddie perform and it was a positive experience but what if it was the complete opposite of that.

During Steve’s ‘King Steve’ era when people said he was an asshole they weren’t kidding. Him and his friends drunkly stumbling through the crowd that surrounded the stage while drinking a beer as he walked closer to the stage that’s when he really get a good look at Eddie. At the time his hair was short and curly due to him cutting it a few months prior, his guitar hung around his neck while he played it with everything he had, shaking his head to the music letting a smile make its way onto his face. Steve took in the sight of Eddie performing and honestly there wasn’t anything wrong with it for a moment he actually understood why people liked the band but something ticked him off about the way Eddie could have so much control over the crowd and deep down Steve didn’t like that if he’d stay a little longer he would’ve been under his control too. Steve started glaring at the stage letting his anger build up every second. He leaned over to Tommy to say something then he shared with his other friends what Steve said he was going to do. Without thinking about the consequences Steve threw his beer bottle on the stage and it shattered right in front of Eddie’s feet causing him to stable backwards but not falling. Steve’s friends followed his lead and did the same thing with their bottles making the stage become a place with shattered glass. Eddie’s vision was a little fuzzy because of the lights but once he was able to point out where the bottles came from he started fuming. He could see Steve’s face in the crowd laughing and his friends were laughing right along with him. All Eddie saw was red as he darted toward the edge of the stage while his band mates were calling after him.

Eddie jumped down onto the grass continuing to make his way towards Steve. Whatever Steve expected Eddie to do he was already prepared for it and as bad as it was to think, the idea of a fight just made him get this thrill. Steve was met with a hard shove to his chest and Eddie stood right there in front of him with the deadliest glare Steve has ever seen. Steve didn’t know what had gotten into him but every insult that he had vanished when he got a good look at Eddie and he noticed the faint lines of eyeliner around his eyes. Now was the wrong time to observe his features but Steve couldn’t help it, the light from the stage shined on Eddie really highlighting how pretty he looked. Steve stood there stupidly with his mouth open unable to speak while Eddie was yelling at the top of his lungs. Eventually Eddie’s band mates pulled him away from the entire situation leaving Steve still frozen and not one word was said. His friends wondered why he did it and never went all the way like he usually does. Steve didn’t want to tell anybody why he couldn’t finish playing the role of the bully that night because if anybody knew, that would force Steve to realize something about himself.

(And yes I like the idea of Steve figuring out that he’s not perfect and he has demons in his closet, he’s just a little bi boy in a big world 🤭)

I genuinely wonder where J’ihwu falls on the furry scale

#I’ve discovered the existence of kemonomimis which seems right? but all the art I’m seeing is of cute anime girls #with very little animal features besides the ears #which is not exactly where he falls #and I feel like tagging his pictures as that is Wrong and people will errrrm what the scallop me or something #so there’s gotta be something else that he is. hmm.#tagging his art as furry art is ALSO wrong because as you can see he is very human looking besides the obvious bits #urgh. this is haaaard wah.

#so I have officially been to a club/bar now #tag talk #it was a country bar which was actually cool cause they played like. actual old country none of the post-9/11 shit #except everything else about it was ugh awful. music too loud drinks FUCKING EXPENSIVE holy shit stay home and drink instead pleaseeee #it was a work thing but none of my coworkers I'm friends with actually knew what they were doing so while I wasn't actual awkward they were #and the thing about social interaction is that if no one knows what they're doing it's not very fun #I grabbed someone and started a pool game because the table was open and both of us were absolute garbage at the game #but I was laughing about it and they were like... apologetic about being bad?? d #I did have the classic experience though where your friends disappear and you end up alone because you don't know where they went #all in all an interesting experience but not one I'm eager to repeat.#I did get invited to someone's Christmas Eve Party though which is cool and they gave me their number to make sure I have the info #so probably worth going just for that I think. got their phone number so we can communicate so that's like. successful social connection.#we're already friendly at work but easier to talk to someone when you're both not busy on the opposite side of the store with customers #anyway. who tf out going to clubs. awful environment.#I was like.. twenty percent of the way to being comfortable going out and dancing but hard to just swallow your hesitation #and a) alcohol as liquid courage is hmm not ideal and b) it was expensive anyway #oh well. it'll take more time to come out of my shell and I'd literally never been to a bar/club before in my life.#so I'll have some patience with myself and not be annoyed with how I could have done better or been more confident.#literally totally new environment. also... country music was nice but not a group of people I could really be comfortable around yaknow?#Lotta old white straight couples dancing the country two-step so I didn't really feel like I fit in.#anyway. interesting experience. neat to have. if I ever have a reason to go to a bar again I'll know more about what to expect #also... no one carded me. no one asked for ID? aren't they supposed to #oh wait. comment about the yodeling cause it was actual old country but they didn't do the voice register changes for it #I was like WAIT ARE THEY GONNA YODEL FOR REAL??? but then he didn't he just jumped intervals without shifting voice.#was a little disappointing but maybe a lot to expect from a random stage show at a bar.#wait wait I'm also proud of myself because the bartender asked open or closed and my mind scrambled for half a second to figure it out #but then I realized it meant open tab or closed tab like ordering more drinks and then paying at the end and so obviously closed #cause I ain't buying more than the one drink holy fuck it was so expensive also they mix them way stronger than I like #I like my drink weak ass and pathetic. alcohol is like spice I like a little to taste but not a lot. complimentary not overpowering #I drank it and then remembered I never ate lunch so I was like fuck and immediately went and ate something (work party so free food)

one thing I've learned from writing a 300k+ word fanfic is that I am going to be a lot kinder if I ever make a "I just wish they'd done this" or "this had so much potential!" comment. Because while I do think sometimes there are missed opportunities, there are infinite numbers of them and you have to chose one. Maybe the author chose something I wouldn't have, but that's okay; they're not writing for me personally and it's okay that our tastes differ

And this isn't about anything like harmful representation or similar issues that are valid to critique, this is about critiquing the story for being the story it is, I suppose is how I'd phrase it

Every day when I write I'm so conscious of all the potential things I could write and the details I could add, and I have to choose between them all because it is literally impossible to include everything. Not even 300k+ words is enough to do everything. Sometimes I recognize something that would be so fun to explore, and I have to let it go no matter how much I love it because my story isn't the right place, my story needs to focus on something else, my story couldn't do it justice, and because I have to narrow it down.

And the further you get into a story, the more it narrows, and the more you lose some people, but that's unavoidable. Odds are, authors have recognized numerous moments where they wished they could've done something. I certainly have. There are some we as readers might never be aware they let go

So while I'm not saying I'll never--or that no one should ever--make a comment like that again, because there are definitely moments in stories where I really wanted something and think it would genuinely add something worth the effort, at the end of the day the author had to make a choice. That's how writing works. And I don't think lamenting every single missed opportunities is fair because they are infinite.

And if what you want doesn't match what the author wants and does? That doesn't make it a bad story. That just makes it a story that wasn't for you. Which is fine.

Just something I've been thinking about

#writing #reading #fandom #how do I tag this what does this fall under #to be very clear I am not trying to tell anyone else what to do here #these are my thoughts and something I've become more aware of #the possibilities of a story are infinite. it could be anything you want #sometimes I wonder why people are even in fandoms when they complain about what could've been #there's being critical and then there's just being mean #but that's something else #it's not that you're not allowed to have negative thoughts #it's more like...if that's /all/ you have and /all/ you talk about. why not find something that makes you happy?#why stay here when clearly something isn't what you like or want?#there are things and content and stories you can find to be happy about! find them! be happy! I want you to be!#making posts like these makes me nervous sometimes but. hmm. thoughts.#long post #i didn't want this to be that long but felt the need to clarify things #though I suppose for me it's not very long

WIP Whenever

Oooooh tagged by @ejunkiet and @andr0leda this time, but I didn't really have anything yesterday.

Some writing. Most things I fiddle with are very directionless but this one might have an end-goal? Darlin', of course, because even if my apathy is numbing my interests down, they're still there v_v

You feel like home, Darlin' They almost didn't hear the rest, and Sam seemed to take it as fear. Fear of what, they aren't sure, but they weren't scared, no, and at the time they rushed to reassure him, pushing down the thoughts that had frozen them. feel like home It echoes in their head later as they lay curled against Sam's side, swirling through a confusing cocktail of emotions. At the forefront of those feelings is a dizzying giddiness, and they revel in the unfamiliar feeling in between trying to pin down what had stunned them earlier.

Let's see, tagging tagging... Um, I'll go ahead and tag @starrypawz @mihqorio and @elemenepee and tag back to EJ and Andy o3o Only if you'd like of course, and don't stress if you don't have anything right now pls <3<3

#want to write more but brain like 'hmm snapshots with absolutely no way to end them that's what you get'#cause I have something else that I shared a wip of and like uhhhh I have no idea what to do with it #I like it but it literally has no direction to it #but this I think I know where it's going sort of #anyway mmmm hi y'all #can feel myself pulling back into a shell and I don't want to do that #redacted asmr #redacted darlin #wip wednesday #kirehn writes #I uhhh forgot if I have a writing tag again oopssss

I’m in quarantine and didn’t feel like focusing on my chemistry class which I will likely regret later, so I made a game! If it’s been done before, then I made a new template for that game lol

1. Pick a color (you can use a specific shade like I did, or you can just say “blue” to give you more options. If you want to do something special like “rainbow,” go for it! If you can’t decide, use a random color generator) 2. Find 9 UTAUs who match your selected color

I labeled it “UTAU Palette,” but you can do it with other vocal synths... I was just in a rush. If you’re thinking “but I can’t think of 9 UTAUs,” that’s the point! Show off some that you like, then go searching for more! You might find a new character or voice to love ^^

Of course, you’re welcome to modify the rules to your liking. It’s just a little game to pass the time. I made it for myself, but I’d be happy if others enjoyed it.

#utau #utauloid #utau palette #utau game #color game #vocal synth #hmm what else can i tag this with?

Because I’m trying to read something and am constantly getting distracted about my internal thoughts, I wanna talk about petrosapien diets and also about the Alien Force inspired human petrosapien hybrid character that I finally have a design for and how she factors into that... vaguely.

So not keeping you for long, everything now continues under the cut.

A lot of my headcanons around petrosapiens and Petropia centre around the idea that most of this silicone-based planet and the lifeforms it produces spawns from the existence of crystalovores, however is best to spell a word that doesn’t exist. Crystalovorous lifeforms are either plants that grow into many of the crystals and subsequently derive nutrients from the significantly harder to eat rock to soils and sands, or lifeforms that derive some form defense mechanism associated with crystals or otherwise in need of a way to get more crystals.

Petrosapiens, being largely crystalline (a step up from having a crystal exoskeleton even if by technicality that’s what they generally are) are an example of the latter group and get their nutrients and energy from eating and digesting very specifically crystals, rocks being the cheaper and technically ‘unhealthy’ equivalent (think fast food or otherwise not-entirely-good-for-you foods) and metals, what little there is in easy access on Petropia inedible. Maybe you might have metal be the equivalent for gum, but one can’t dissolve it in large quantities so it’s best not eaten at all if not just spat out after.

That being said, a lot of crystalovore species - including that of petrosapiens, of course - have evolved to specifically digest crystals and sneak away what little nutrients it would have, also having to adapt to find, need and desire the nutrients specific to crystals that other species would not and never will benefit from otherwise. This digestive acid - stomach acid for closed system lifeforms like petrosapiens, an acidic poison-like secretion from roots or skin for plants and otherwise open system lifeforms like bugs and certain tunneling creatures in and out of water - is strong enough to break crystals into nutrients to enervate the body and leave dust behind. Open system creatures and life leave the dust behind for non-crystalovorous plants to take root, for fungus wanting to finish things off or for other purposes, but petrosapiens take that remainder crystal waste and use it to grow more crystals.

I suppose the human equivalent may render that idea as being kind of gross, taking the useless parts of your digested food and turn it essentially to skin; were it a shelled creature, waste product shells, but to be fair that’s how snails work on Earth anyway. And that’s mostly how I see it, it’s not a system that can be perfectly paired with a human function, and now (well technically not now, I already had made the connection before) I add snails to my pool of ‘what the fuck is a petrosapien’ biology headcanons- lemme just...

Hahah, you cannot escape my weird inspirations!

But, as a little something something, though that acid is not strong enough (nor built right) to digest metal - no literal bismuth petrosapiens walking around with technicolour crystals - it is more than enough to dissolve what would typically constitute for food, biological plants or meat typical to a diet of herbivores, carnivores or omnivores (hmm that’s a lot of ‘i’s, maybe crystalovore should be crystalivore?). Looking at like, specifically if herbivores can eat meat or if carnivores can eat plants for like... a sliding scale of what can happen or not, there are generally no strict herbivores whereas carnivores cannot digest - and thus cannot be sustained - by plant matter (so feel free to slap a furparent for giving their dog a vegan diet).

With this in mind, this made me think that crystalovores are to omnivores what herbivores are to carnivores, there’s a level of disconnect between the food and the individual that leads to a disconnect of what you can digest. But, though the acid is capable of dissolving plant and animal matter no sweat, unlike herbivores who can eat some form of meat (typically being that of insects rather than a full body, but can in moderation eat carrion and bird chicks) and derive sustenance, it is the difference between organic and inorganic food that simply means that petrosapiens (and other exclusively crystalovorous species) just simply do not have the same nutritional needs that organic food provides.

So, with all that mumbo jumbo out of the way, petrosapiens can and - for those trying what is dubbed ‘human food’ ie, not crystals and named after the introduced idea of humans who eat anything and everything regardless if it will harm them - do eat meats and fruits for all the nutritional value of a garnish. Having a diet of only meats and fruits and whatever other non-crystal based thing will do absolutely nothing for a petrosapien, even if it’s rich in minerals or whatever, because that’s a lot of garbage to sort through to even get to minerals, and by that point the salts and whatever other relatively inorganic part of the food does nothing for sustenance. In fact, speaking of minerals, mineral water does more good than a full course meal of ‘human food’ because even if the minerals are floating around in actual water, there’s no need to sort through any junk to get to those minerals.

And so, sure, have a journey with textures one can’t even begin to make with crystals and try out ‘human food’, petrosapiens eat crystals and maybe cheaper rocks with like pockets of crystals within them if you can’t afford better, because they just built like that.

But I have a petrosapien character who is not built like that, and saying that she’s petrosapien is only half right.

Say hello to the finally drawn concept of a nameless human petrosapien hybrid, a character I’ve been referring to as Abuelita de los Crystales after the Mexican Cave of Crystals because guess what, she’s lived for 180ish years ever since the Victorian era and, if it weren’t for her significantly more human (but still half petrosapien twin) she would have been far more alone than she is and is coping with the loss of a lot of people by being great at Dia de los Muertos.

Because I cannot be trusted with keeping a hybrid character free from angst, I have forced myself to keep her angst be of the typical ‘i live for a long fucking time and the people around me are god damn human’ angst and slightly just ‘i’m very visibly not human’ (this is why i made the mutants and magic au, this great great great great grandaunt of her slightly more human compatible twin’s lineage deals a lot better where non-human beings are a little more common place), I’ve given her more of the human-ish materials part of her genetics as opposed to her twin.

By that I mean, abuelita (genuinely I don’t have a name for her) has crystals made of bone - or at least calcite (crystalised calcium) and bone cells - whereas her fraternal twin had her nails, hair and bones replaced with their mother’s crystals (not to be confused with their human mum, look this has been a whole year of thought and it’s coming out because these thoughts are now impacting reading). This individual right here does not derive sustenance from meat or fruit like full-blooded humans, but because she is made from bone/calcite with bone cells whatever I’m deciding, the simple solution is drinking a lot of milk and straight up eating bones and sucking out the marrow like a grandfather who finds the marrow of an ossobuco is the best part.

Now, from the angst ridden bowels of my mind, this tatara tatara tatara tararabuelita (tía, abuelita or bisabuelita for generally not bullshit long titles) can now be essentially one of the founders or perhaps only member of the family that has, in 180 years of free time, has picked up a hobby to cattle farm. Aside from overseeing something that can have intergenerational workers, she has a very stable source of calcium that can also directly feed the people that she cares about with so much fucking cow products it’s like ‘Tía! I’m tired of having so much beef, can we get more variety?’.

Okay this has turned into Abuelita de los Crystales propaganda (I should REALLY FUCKING decide on a name now that I have a drawing of her) instead of ‘oh petrosapiens eat rocks for breakfast’ bullshit but excuse me for giving my technically not even an adult petrosapien human hybrid a little farming hobby with little pieces of ‘wait what do you mean her sister ‘had’ crystals replace her bones’ insight of what a year of sitting around and doing nothing about it did to this character :)

So, petrosapiens (maybe even Chio my petrosapien therapist that I shove into every circumstance that needs some therapy even if location wise it doesn’t make sense) are confounded that my nameless hybrid sustains herself off of very organic bone and milk to live and humans are thinking how bizarre it is that Abuelita de los Crystales only ever drinks milk and eats bones when her very human looking family eats significantly more meat than she does. My baby’s therapy is cattle farming and Dia de los Muertos ofrendas being full stocked with memories and offering like you wouldn’t fucking believe.

And I believe that is all, for now at least. Now let me get back to what I was reading and hopefully I won’t look anywhere other than the screen and suddenly think of something else to write.

#petrosapien #xenobiology #ben 10 #ben 10 oc #genuinely though i've been thinking about this abuelita de los crystales since september 2021 and have not come up with a single fucking nam #wow too long anyway #i mentioned it here a little bit and it's slightly more relevant to the mental health of my character if this exists in the #mutants and magic #ben 10 au #look at that tag flow you'd think i'd write embedded quotes with the same ease #(i do not)#anywho that's what got me thinking and otherwise distracted with reading someone else's content #i do not control the rate at which i think about petrosapiens #and i more importantly do not control the rate at which i want to draw or talk about my ideas #but ultimately i wanted to put this down- with an introduction to another bloody petrosapien oc of mine #so that i can get my mind to settle to the point that i can read a post someone made without going 'hmm- the texture of bone marrow is weird #so here we go- another petrosapien xenobiology headcanon and a fully formed hybrid character with design #try as i might i suck the fuck with names so please excuse me while my no pronoun having ass dicks around noncreative names
