#maybe a ploy

[winepresswrath]

sudden yearning for time travelling teen jiang fengmian lands at lotus pier fic that winds up being about a perfectly nice kid having a varying series of "oh no. i don't like that. that's a lot" reactions.

#i think in order for this to be satisfying i have to give grace and interiority to teenmian #i'm picturing an older teen like 18ish? maybe even early 20s? #big crush on csr he's already pretty sure isn't going to work out #but at least he'll always have wei-xiong #anyway this is my ploy to give jfm a chance at an ugly crying meltdown #he's trying so hard to be even keeled and like #maybe take this as an evil vision designed to teach him something #but somewhere in between my crush stole my man and then they died #my whole sect burned #my grown ass son who is older than me making the vibe sooooo weird #and my grandson! child of my dead???? daughter?????? #is just like yeah he never talks about you. no never never #and then wwx blows into town and idk somehow they all end up at dinner together and jfm politely calls lqr a punk ass bitch in front of lwj #because what???? context clues suggest lqr has the fucking nerve to not like wei xiong's baby after All That #only for adult son with the weird vibes #to imply only filial piety is keeping him from naming the real #punk ass bitch #anyway this ends with jfm crying because clearly he marries yuanyuan and she HATES HIM and then his own son ALSO HATES HIM #and would rather stupid Lan-er-gongzi #be his dad. #if you like lqr so much why don't you just join the lan sect then????? #and that's how jc learns he didn't get it all from his mama #jc didn't mean it he was stressed! this isn't his dad it's an a-ling sized kid. but it's still stressful

the way their colour schemes are almost exactly the same

#critical role #the legend of vox machina #tlovm #tlovm s2 #tlovm spoilers #can't wait to see if they make any changes to this particular storyline #she's already hinting about what she heard from her mother #but maybe she pretends to warm up to him as a ploy to get a little stabby-stabby #kaylie shorthalt #scanlan shorthalt

lucy gray is peeta this, sejanus is katniss that, when are we going to talk about how peeta is who SNOW could've been

#manipulative silver-tongued snakes from rough but relatively privileged circumstances #who meet A Girl (from district 12) #but peeta has genuine love and compassion for not just katniss but also the people around him #so he uses his power for good #and katniss admires him a lot for this so i think it's easy to forget #that he's also mister “star-crossed lovers ploy” #mister “maybe we shouldn't quell the districts” #mister “haymitch i'm making you go cold turkey on alcohol” #and mister “if it weren't for the baby” #tho in all seriousness these thg/tbosas parallels posts are great keep 'em coming #the hunger games #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #peeta mellark #words

Thinking about Todoroki actually getting the lucky straw when you realize that he is best friends with Bakugou's longest and most analytical friend. Want to know what his favorite food is? Ask Izuku. What to get him for Christmas? Beg Izuku for help. How to woo the short tempered explody boy? Pester Izuku until he gives up and reluctantly sets the two of you up.

Todoroki literally already has a built in cheat code for his love life yet still failing very badly due to his own dumbassery and obliviousness to social cues. Izuku explaining that "Yes, you've already been boyfriends for a month. Him letting you meet uncle and aunty isn't a best friends forever ritual, Shouto."

Just them two against the very real possibility of getting blown up if they rub Katsuki the wrong way. Izuku is too tired for this shit yet Todoroki's kicked puppy expression is making it very hard for him to deny the poor boy lol.

#Katsuki is not actually oblivious and sees the very obvious ploys the two are doing #Izuku knows that katsuki knows #Katsuki knows that izuku knows that katsuki knows #Shouto is just vibing in the bg and maybe wants to kith and hold hands with the poofy pomeranian #todobaku #bakutodo #todoroki shouto #bakugou katsuki #midoriya izuku #bnha deku #kacchan #mha #bnha #imagines

catching up on slmccl's qsmp shit is so fun bc like. you can tell that he actually enjoys this server.

#stfulee.txt #slimecicle #probably not the best idea to talk in tags but #its v refreshing to see him actually enjoy being in a server even if he's still not the most active #afaik he's been in 5 servers and he's only been ACTIVE active in 2 of them #**6 servers i am dumb. anw. #< 2 being smpl and qsmp #d smp he rlly only came on to fuck around a couple times and then after that he only came on to do lore for q #epicsmp immediately died off bc (as fun as it was for a bit) it was obv just a ploy to try and capitalize off the minecraft hype of d smp #theres technically smp earth but tbh it occupies the same space in my brain that smpl does. #and osmp was already kinda inactive as is so like. didnt expect much from that. #maybe this is parasocial idk

“Oh, this? An unfortunate run-in with a Luxray when I was a boy! It makes me look quite rugged, don’t you think? Of course, a pretty face is good for business!”

#so Ik that if you really angle the camera #you CAN see that Volo’s model has 2 eyes #but b/c we never intentionally see the covered eye in-game or in his concept art I lowkey HC it's missing #(or otherwise visually significant? magicla/corrupted/possessed could be cool) #given his comments abt pain and heartbreak I also think it’s a safe assumption that he has some scars #I hope the lil flavor text sounds okay/adds context too!! #I almost left it out/always feel iffy abt my char voice but I think it needs it #and maybe this is too woobish lmao but I also like the idea that scars are more common in Hisui? #alt you could read it as a ploy for sympathy/manipulation #(man I'm used to being cringe in the t/ts fandom but I feel so 🧍🤡 posting pkmn art LMFAO) #(I'm a simple fan ok I have simple needs) #volo #pokemon volo #pokemon legends arceus #pla #my art #pokemon #cw injury #cw scars

did not know i needed akk grinding on aye while dancing until this chapter

Happy to be of service 🫡

Speaking of that scene, I originally had Wat and his grad assistant crush there as well, and I need y'all to know that the crush is Sani. I doubt it'll ever come up again, but I really do like the idea of them together in a world where they didn't meet while she was his high school teacher.

#or maybe they just grew on me since aj and ploy are actually dating now #but regardless! #i thought y'all might like to know #asks #best laid plans fic

guys this is a really important question, of the two:

(On Christmas Day 1119, the king of Jerusalem, Baldwin II, persuaded a group of French knights led by Hugh de Payne II to save their souls by protecting pilgrims traveling the Holy Land. And so the Order of the Knights Templar was formed)

#maybe founded wasn’t the best word to use but you guys get my point anyway #i just need to know if they’re festive or not #i could also see them being anti-santa bc they believe he was a marketing ploy for Coke products #christmas is HUGE with catholicism #more specifically Christmas eve #idk i feel like one of them has to be absolutely insufferable about the holiday #like minds #nigel colbie #alex forbes

#hi sorry. please read executioner and her way of life #ive been rereading it lately my bad #volume 7 come out in like two months and im more excited about that than i should be #sorry rejuv people but this has all been a ploy to get maybe at least one person to give it a shot #thisll end soon though im sure and ill go back to melia posting probably #actually id probably still been posting about executioner things but. well. rejuv #im not gonna tag this cause theres nothing to it but im still posting it on its own #mostly because i dont really wanna draw rn and i hate sitting on things and not posting them #. even though i. dont really post things on their own here very much anymore. my bad ill do that more with not rejuv things

Mine is not SUBTLE. He probably wears rainbow underwear that says I love Daigo Dojima written on them. Like I identified his character in Ishin purely based of off the gay vibes he was giving me. Mine is the gay disaster rep we deserve.

mine's a distinguished homosexual who relatively functions like a semi-normal human being until the second daigo takes a nap for two weeks THEN he's a category 4 disaster

#snap chats #i gotta add fifty subtle disclaimers that mine's not normal but in the grand scheme of things. and others. he is p tame #like yes he's insane yes he buys entire stocks to find daigo yes he participates in large real estate ploys just for daigo #yes he has relationship issues and just doesnt understand how they work and has trust issues #but could he mask as a normal person for five minutes and you could have a semi-adequate conversation with him absolutely #you would never know he's demented until you spent like a month with him #maybe two weeks

I genuinely like Cazador's outfit and what if I cosplayed him so I could go around conventions letting BG3 cosplayers pose like they're absolutely wailing on me

#is this a ploy to get dozens of astarions to step on my throat maybe #but its been a while since i did a Gimmick Cosplay #bg3

shea whigham's mission: impossible haircut being inspired by chris mcquarrie's hair is sooo hyperspecifically catering towards ME

[x]

#i've been saying this for YEARS #but to get it confirmed?? incredible. INCREDIBLE #they're my guys!!!! #🥰🥰🥰 #is this a ploy to get my shea friends into chris and vice versa?? maybe! #shea whigham #christopher mcquarrie #mission: impossible

Good morning the role swap is immediately on my brain what are we thinking for grogu's morak equivalent

#because. ooh boy #he prolly wont get thru to the terminal tbh just bc the empires like. speciest? and grogu's very visibly non-human #im tryna figure out an equivalent where he sneaks into the refinery. maybe providing silent and sneaky back up to mayfeld when he needs it #or maybe hes the distraction. maybe the ploy is that mayfeld's captured him and is abt to throw him in the cell but they get intercepted by #valin hess. and maybe. maybe hess is the one who takes his helmet off

Hear me out: the whole 118 fam at the bar hang out spot and Buck is dancing with Natalia and Eddie is dancing with Marisol to Everybody Plays the Fool by the Main Ingredient and it’s shot in such a way that Buck and Eddie keep sneaking pining glances at each other but never catching the other looking.

#buddie #eddie diaz #evan buckley #911 #is this a ploy to get one of my favorite songs on the show? maybe

[lux-scriptum]

#polls #is this also a ploy to find that other poll so i can make that edit for yall #maybe #but im also curious #please lmk #i wanna know how bad/good i am at describing my oc's

I feel like Ozai wouldn’t be fine with just hearing the words “the avatar is dead” from Azula and Zuko like he doesn’t trust anyone, even his own children. He would have wanted the body

#fucked up thing to post I’m sorry but do u know what I mean? #like he would have wanted concrete proof #maybe he doesn’t trust zuko still and this is all part of his elaborate ploy to royally fuck him over idk
