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

theres a part in my fern textbook where it talks about fern 'spore banks' in the soil where fern spores land on the ground and instead of germinating get buried and can stay viable for several years and sometimes i think about it bc although they didnt elaborate on why this might be useful, if i was a fern-- a little guy who's survival strategy is notoriously to be the first to colonize any disturbed new places so i dont have to bother with any competition-- this would be a pretty sick deal.

like this is unconfirmed fern lore but like, if im a spore sittin several inches to feet underground and something happens thats bad enough to rip up the soil and expose me to sunlight and water again, its probably also bad enough to rip up all my competition and let me do whatever i want on a clean slate with all the nutrients i could wish for in the ruins of the ecosystem i was buried under. like, via a terrible natural disaster or landslide or something. and im already adapted to the environment because i came from a fern that was there the last time the land was ripped up and recolonized with ferns. rip to the other plants but im different lmaooo

#ferns #theres a photo in that textbook thats some young ferns hanging out in a little rock crevice surrounded by cooled magma #and it was taken like. six months after the local volcanic eruption that led to said magma. another thing i think about #ferns are so wild they really are just like. oh boy a natural disaster just for me ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Volcano Pokemon

My first full-background painting with acrylic inks, featuring two of my current favourite things! I think Typhlosion would do well in the Icelandic environment I based this painting on. Time taken: approx. 9 hours.

#typhlosion #volcano #realistic pokemon #fire type #lava #avanii #Oh this was so much fun to paint but also difficult #I based this volcano on the Fagradasfjall eruption in Iceland #The footage from that eruption is so impressive #Can just imagine fire type Pokemon prowling around on the mossy rocks surrounding the lava flows #Yes very fun next time I may paint one of my own monsters in their natural habitat so to speak hehe #Maybe break out the acrylic gouache too and really go wild #pokemon #fanart #traditional art #avanii's art

*Kakashi in bed*

Kakashi: *groans* I can’t believe this happened to me …

Sakura, sitting at his side: You mean you can’t believe you completely exhausted your chakra during one of your ridiculous competitions with Gai-Sensei? Yeah, me either. *holds up a spoonful of medicine* Say ahh…

Sasuke: You know, you really should just leave him alone. He’s never gonna learn if you keep babying him every time this happens.

Sakura: Sasuke-kun, you’re REALLY not one to talk right now, considering your “patient”.

Naruto, from his pallet on the floor: C’mon Sasuke! More ramen! I can’t get better without more ramen, dattebayo!

Sasuke: Tsk; you idiot! Eating that crap is what got you into this in the first place! You and Kakashi!

Kakashi: In Naruto’s defense …

Sakura: No, there is no defense here, Sensei. You know spicy food upsets your stomach, so you shouldn’t have agreed to Gai’s ultra-hot udon eating contest! I’m no Uchiha but I’m pretty sure the sharingan isn’t supposed to be used for things like that!

Sasuke: And usuratonkachi, if you and Lee had just stuck to ramen you probably would have been fine. But no, you had to add five-alarm hot sauce into it!

Naruto, indignantly: A challenge isn’t a challenge unless it’s super-hard, idiot.

Kakashi: You two, stop fighting. This noise isn’t helping my recovery. I have to get better as soon as possible; there’s a bbq eating competition that Gai asked me to do in three days, so -

Naruto: Oh, hey, bushy-brows challenged ME to that, too! *struggles to sit up* Sensei, let’s train together so that we beat both of ‘em!

Kakashi: Great idea, Naruto! Sakura, Sasuke, can you guys run to that bbq place that Asuma takes his team to? Pick us up some wings with the hottest sauce they have, so Naruto and I can practice —

Sakura: *bonks Kakashi over the head so that he passes out*

Sasuke, to Naruto: Are you going to be a good boy and go to sleep by choice? Or do I need Sakura to persuade you, too?

Naruto:

Naruto: *turns over on his side and starts exaggeratedly snoring*

Some of you want your favorite characters to have a happy ending, I want my favorite characters to make questionable choices and face the consequences of their actions. We are not the same

#critical role #for legal reasons this is mostly a joke #I do love watching my favorite characters reap what they sow though #I love when a character makes bad or questionable choices #who needs a happy ending when you have a compelling narrative that may or may not end in tragedy #it’s why I love Ashton so much #love me a rock person who is so convinced he’s subverting destiny only to rush headfirst into it #and possibly make the same mistakes as their father #give me a character who is surrounded by people who care about them and want them to succeed #but is so caught up in their own trauma and misery that they make rash decisions and push people away #and I will love them without question #and simultaneously want them to get better and continue making bad choices that make the narrative more interesting

God the new ultimate guide sucks

It's not JUST the awful art, either. The art's just worth mentioning because even if the book's info had been terrible or contained nothing new, really cute art can make it still worth having.

But, no, it's even full of recycled lines we've been hearing for years like "Bramblestar Can Match Squirrelflight's Fire Not Contain It," and that's when it DOES get everything right. These entries leave out major, important details (making them bad summaries) and are sometimes even straight-up incorrect.

SUMMARY THOUGHTS

Leafpool is said to have watched Brambleclaw kill Hawkfrost to save Firestar-- but for one, no, she was not there because Ashfur was still leading her and Squilf towards the scene. For two, no, Brambleclaw did not kill Hawkfrost just to save Firestar, it was self-defense. Hawkfrost had him pinned and was going to kill him.

They're REAL cute about Leafpool's death, too, neglecting to mention WHY the Sisters needed to be saved at all and just saying Leafpool's "generosity" lead to her death in that cave-in.

I'm not even going to get into everything on Bramble's entry jesus christ.

Sagewhisker's entry is ESPECIALLY fucken' dandy, framing Yellowfang's Secret like she was simply waiting patiently for Yellow to realize her 'destiny' and not actively shoving it on her at every opportunity.

Leopardstar's entry states that romantic interest in Tigerstar was part of her motivation. "Perhaps she'd hoped he would be her mate" please speak to a woman irl for once in your life.

Gray Wing's entry forgot that the reason he "blamed himself" for Bright Stream's death is because he was literally staring at his big strong brother too much and tripped on a root in front of him. It IS his fault she died.

Clear Sky/Skystar's entry is just obscene. "He regretted abandoning his son and after a fire, he encouraged him to live with him" instead of "saw his teenage child was useful now and bullied and belittled the kid and his uncle into letting Thunder come with him." "Retaining his fierceness towards his cats and outsiders which caused his son to leave" instead of "murdering, brutalizing, and abusing everyone around him caused Thunder to leave." I'll just say this tho; "Fierce" is an interesting way to spell "Cruel."

It's interesting that they don't point out that a major part of Jagged Peak's arc was proving he was "Just As Good" as every other cat in spite of his disability, thanks to his introduced-and-pregnant-in-the-same-book wife becoming his life coach, only earning Clear Sky's respect after being allowed to physically lead a patrol in Blazing Star. Instead they frame him finding his place through taking care of kits, which... was something he seemed to resent in the actual series, considering how the books suddenly treat Gray Wing's protective treatment of him as a terrible thing in Blazing Star because he "didn't give him a chance". But at the same time I actually strongly dislike Jagged Peak and his messy, frustrating character arc so I'm not really UPSET with it. Just... noting it. I suppose this is the official direction they're taking away from it?

Shadowstar's entry is barely even 3 paragraphs yikes.

SHORT STORY THOUGHTS

And if you're wondering if the 4 brand new stories they smooshed into the end in a desperate attempt to make the rush job worth buying are good? No. Of course not. They're all slop.

Story 1: Firestar and Graystripe

First one's a marginally cute story about Graystripe and Firestar which is setting up the framing device linking the mini-tales together. They both remember this situation where Firestar fell into a ditch wrong. The punchline is that Thunderstar remembers it perfectly and they're both like, "WOW! Too bad Thunderstar's memory sucks!"

It's not terrible, but it does feel a bit pointless. But, hey, if you want more Firestar and Graystripe in the series that tosses them fanservice at every turn, who am I to judge?

Story 2: Dovewing and Ivypool

The next one is the Dovewing/Ivypool reconciliation passage everyone's talking about. It's... fine, but immensely dissatisfying to me.

Dovewing is apparently having problems adjusting to her Clan, grapples a little bit with the fact she has no friends but is going to be finding meaning in helping tigerHeartstar "bring the new ShadowClan into existence." She ultimately decides that she needs to talk to her sister, and begs for reassurance that Ivypool believes in her, feeling that her support can help her get through this difficult time in her life.

I think its biggest problem is that Dovewing was not the right choice for the POV here.

Dove was never the one responsible for the rift in their relationship. Ivypool is. Ivypool is the one who was jealous, willing to sabotage anything that would put Dovewing closer to Tigerheart, and continues to be generally aggressive towards her. So when Dovewing is reaching out to Ivypool in hopes of them reconciling, it feels wrong because Ivypool is the one that should be reaching out to Dovewing. SHE is the one who has some things to apologize for, and to show how much she loves and misses her.

It's even kind of frustrating, because Dovewing can never catch a break. She has to have these problems to force her to reach out, Ivypool even ends up suggesting that she leave and come home and take her kids with her, but in the end even a LITTLE bit of assurance from her aggressive sister helps.

I feel super bad for Dovewing, man. She deserves better than this cheap writing. What was the point of such an unsatisfying, rushed reconciliation, shoved into a crummy field guide, when we KNOW from the newest book that they're just going to use tension between them as part of the drama anyway?

shouldn't have even been written, imo. Even ends off with, "They'll always have each other :)" which is so... cliche. It's TIRED. Are any of you really happy with just getting a retconned platitude in a good-for-nothing field guide, instead of seeing complicated, INTERESTING feelings in a main book?

Story 3: Alderheart and Twigbranch

A tale of Cherryfall getting sick during TBC and Alderheart sneaks back into the territory to treat her. Also Crowfeather has a scene where he yells at him. Charming.

Twigbranch comes up with a diversion while Alderheart does his work, which is cute. It's a fine story.

Story 4: Clear Sky

Trash. Three dogs spawn in the middle of a gathering so that Skystar can have an uwu big boy sendoff saving his grandkit. Then he goes to StarClan and throws a fit because they can't give him ANOTHER life, becoming so upset that he attacks the nearest woman. Naturally, Shadowstar brushes it off because it's not the first time Clear Sky has pummeled her in the midst of an adult tantrum and this book series thinks violence is fine if their favorite sadboy does it.

Then Gray Wing brings him to the magic mirror pool where you can see the living, to confirm that Star Flower is ok and that makes him feel better.

Then it launches into Firestar saying "ouuuugh yum I LOVE the taste of his butthole. Clear Sky is so misunderstood, He Just Loved Too Much."

to which Graystripe responds, "Yes, he was a good and amazing person and his farts smells SO good, and can you believe that some people think StarClan punished his Clan for his arrogance? As if he ever did anything wrong, ever?"

Firestar, indignant, refutes it with, "Ugh!! StarClan would NEVER be interesting, we don't punish living cats we just float around and make vague, frustrating prophecies that do nothing but pad the word count. Why cant ppl understand that, gosh."

who wrote this? Gray Wing??

#The amount of passive voice Clear Sky has to be surrounded with in order to look like a redeemable character is dizzying #I feel like I'm reading a headline about cops who blew up an orphanage every time I read anything official about him #oh wait im sorry. A ''high-pressure accident which occurred at a government institution with 3 officers present'' lmaooooo #ultimate field guide #bone babble #im actually REALLY glad actually they havent been making these #This was garbage #There were a few good things in this but overall? Absolute slop. I wouldn't even feed this to a pig. #I think this is actually down there with Cats of the Clans (with Rock) for worst field guide #This is abysmal #You would be better with the wiki summaries and the 4 stories are mid at best #What a shame that they re-pivoted so hard from Riverstar's SE which I was JUST praising for tossing out that shitty ''redemption arc'' #Nope. We're right back to square one. #How much do you guys wanna bet it's ONE writer who's OBSESSED with Clear Sky and every time he writes anything he does this #I'm not sure who wrote this one but let's see if my hunch is right lmao

im cringe but im free!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤪

uniquely in the First Splinter Timeline (book canon), i think kathryn would regain all of her lost/hazy memories from all that happens to her in the Q Continuum when she's brought back from death. which, GOOD OR BAD, would allow her to remember those three hyperevolved glory days. :)

(multiple timelines allows me to enjoy playing in both sandboxes of kathryn can/can't remember how the triplets came about haha)

also i think everyone just assumes she'd be fine and well-versed in having a baby but she actually isn't and she's terrified of the whole ordeal and it's way harder than laying eggs haha.

#i just think it'd be funny if all this time shes been distraught like 'i dont remember what happened' regarding Threshold #and then all of a sudden she's like 'of course i remember. tom made me a little nest surrounded by moss and rocks.' with vivid memory lol #this also selfishly just serves my String Theory agenda of her regaining THOSE memories #o'donnell looks unamused but i bet hed be sooooooooo fascinated by her and ask lots of questions and be super intrusive in a nerd way <3 #helps her deliver baby hehe she reminds him of his wife #My Art #Star Trek: Voyager #Threshold #AU #Liam O'Donnell #Kathryn Janeway #First Splinter Timeline #Atonement #Human #i did a background please clap lmao #idc if this post flops bc its embarrassing to me HAHAHA

[science-lings]

i just think that Wild should come back to the chain with a magic rock, I mean it's not like he would be the only one with a magic rock, Look at Twi's shadow crystal or Wind's walkie-talkie necklace, and what would we call all of Legends rings if not wearable magic rocks? The ocarina of time? MAGIC ROCK with some holes in it. You know what Hyrule's magic sword is made of? THAT'S RIGHT! MAGIC ROCKS

And guess what was left behind with no explanation in totk, that had a whole quest attached to it that stood in parallel with a bunch of other versions of the same scene where someone gets a magic rock? MINERU'S secret stone, SPIRIT SAGE LU WILD LETS GO

#too many projects but i wanna write a post-totk lu fic where Wild has no arm and a magic rock #and he's really trying his best to learn how to fight with his left arm but it's hard #but he refuses to give up and the other's kinda have to make him stop overworking himself #and it gets to the point where Wild doesn't know what he is except for a swordsman #at least he has a light dragon light bow that he can shoot with his teeth who's arrows just appear out of the air #but being the swordsman and the hero is such a major part of his identity #and hes having to be surrounded by more of the best swordsmen ever to exist and how does he deal with that #i want to give him spirit powers and have him struggle to control them and it's all in the view of the heroes #i just love giving characters new powers that are in fact powerful and forcing them to learn how to deal with them #its so fun #ramblin #lu wild #linked universe #linked universe wild

the mysterious ze'mer.

my design of ze'mer! (or grey mourner) i think shes quick and spooky tbh, she'll appear randomly and jumpscare everyone, & she holds her blade like it's nothing hehehe. and she no doubt brushes her hair plenty.

#my pile of rocks #hollow knight #hollow knight art #my rosy doodles #hk ze'mer #hollow knight ze'mer #hollow knight grey mourner #she so tall #nearly as tall as my wl design #poor pk hes so short compared to everyone but hes above average he promises you #hes surrounded by so many tall ppl

[bitchapalooza]

I can’t get the idea of hard rock trolls being immune to lava out of my head. Trollstopia seems to debunk this idea while in World Tour there’s a background gag where a hard rock trolls dives in(or falls?) and is completely okay, but the movies are more canon to me so I’m ignoring the show. Anyway, the mental image of Barb inviting Poppy for like a cultural exchange tour to strengthen the pop and rock tribes’ relationship and Barb diving into a pool of lava thinking Poppy can come in too is making me lose it. Her intentions are so pure and here Poppy is mentally screaming because this shit is so unhinged, LIKE IT WAS TOTALLY WITHOUT WARNING, SHE DOESN’T MEAN TO JUDGE OR ANYTHING SHES HERE WITH AN OPEN MIND AND IS READY TO LEARN BUT HOLY SHIT ALL ROCK TROLLS CAN DO THIS WTH WHAT IS THEIR DEAL THIS IS SO COOL YET SO TERRIFYING, and then Barb climbs out and shakes her entire body of excess lava like a dog after a bath 😂

#and since I hc branch as half rock troll imagine BOTH his and poppy’s surprise #when he too can swim in fucking lava without issue #like honestly tho if rock trolls settled in an area surrounded by intense heat and pools of molten rock you’d think the species would adapt #pop trolls are probably REALLY GOOD at climbing things as a parallel idk #trolls #trolls dreamworks #trolls headcanons #trolls queen barb #trolls queen poppy
