reasons why raphaellasweep needs to happen:

1. her actress, r. l. hughes, works in creating safe spaces for young lgbtq+ people

2. her job is literally science officer!!! she’s the TRADEMARK mad scientist. she THROWS HERSELF INTO A BLACK HOLE TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. queen shit!!!!!

3. we deserve more mechanisms fans in 2023 - even if the mechs are dead!!!!

4. just look at her!

thinking about the friend of a friend who randomly took my hand and kneaded it and pet my hair and face while talking to others around the table we were sitting at, and also thinking about the random guy at the bar who came up to me and patted my shoulder and the side of my face as if I was an adorable little puppydog

these random moments of others initiating physical contact with me will haunt me forever in a yearning aching longing sort of way

#makes me wanna become a mad scientist to find out what exactly made these people act the way they did.#what was it about me that made them wanna touch and pet me. and how can i reliably recreate it #also shoutout to that one employee at lush who demonstrated a product on my hand in such a gentle way it made me question my entire life #that was the gateway to yearning for gentle physical touch i think. never been handled with such gentleness and care #even tho i know it was part of her job to do so BUT STILL #once again thinking. HOLD ME TOUCH ME MAKE ME FEEL REAL

My father made a joke at dinner about how my "special topic" for Hard Quiz (Australian quiz show that allows contestants to have their questions based on their expert topic) could be "times Kirk lost his shirt" so I told my parents later that it was not in fact Kirk that I took fancy to when watching Trek to which after exhausting their guesses I just told them it was McCoy, which my mother called the "grown up and responsible choice". My father on the other hand called him a "mad ass". Anyway telling my parents that I'm an old man fucker I think Bones is hot was harder than coming out to them.

#he's nOT a mad ass he is however legally a mad scientist #i did mean tos but i'm not forgetting the time he brought an mf back to life #also his chRONIC thing about sacrificing himself bro stop trying to die you're scaring the hoes #not me though #penelope rambles #star trek #leonard mccoy #Shoutout to my mum for her guesses of my trek crushes being Spock and Janice Rand #diversity win

Mad Scientist

Kol Mikaelson x Reader

Masterlist - Join My Taglist!

Written for Fictober 2023!

Fandom: The Vampire Diaries/The Originals

Day 5 Prompt: "You're the smartest person I know."

Summary: Kol's dating a scientist who's buried in college-level work and more than ready for a ridiculous, fun version of science for a break.

Word Count: 1,685

Category: Fluff, Humor

Shoutout/Credit to The Scientific American for the info on how Mentos-Coke reactions work!

Putting work into an AI program without permission is illegal. You do not have my permission. Do not do it.

"Darling? What do you think would happen if I made pancakes with Mountain Dew instead of water?"

I paused, my pen hovering over the page in the middle of summarizing my findings for a lab I'd been working on at my university. I didn't turn around to face my boyfriend, Kol Mikaelson, who stood behind me in the kitchen, instead just staring off in thought for a moment.

"I don't know," I said, finally turning around to look at Kol. "As far as I'm aware, water's not one of the things like baking soda or eggs that's insanely important to the chemistry of baking. As long as you have the same amount of liquid, it should be fine. Maybe a little sweeter than normal, but basically still a pancake."

Kol grinned. "Excellent."

"What exactly brought this on?" I asked, standing from the kitchen table in the Mikaelson compound where I'd been working and wandering towards my boyfriend. "Just out of curiosity."

"Well you see," he said, holding his hands out in a grand presentation gesture and fixing me with a giant grin. "While I was getting the ingredients for making pancakes, I also found Mountain Dew. The rest is history."

"Interesting..."

I trailed off as I finally reached Kol, stopping so I could hold onto his arm and lean around him to look at the ingredients laid out on the counter, Mountain Dew included. My eyes wandered back to my books, still open and waiting for me on the table. I had no desire to go near them again right now, and this was the absolute perfect distraction. I looked back up at the grinning face of my boyfriend.

"Do you need any help?"

Within half an hour, Kol and I's initial experiment had expanded to encompass the entire kitchen and just about every ingredient we had in it. The Mountain Dew pancakes hadn't been much different than the regular pancakes, so we'd gotten progressively more creative in our ingredient substations, snacking on our successes as we went. My books lay long-forgotten on the table, Kol enabling my chaotic science tendencies in the best way possible.

"What if we put pop rocks in it?" asked Kol as he riffled through a drawer of sweet treats in one corner of the kitchen. I hummed to myself as I mixed our latest version, with orange juice instead of water.

"I don't know," I said. "I think we'll just get little pieces of candy in it without the pop, since the liquid in the batter would probably dissolve the candies enough to trigger the reaction before anything else. We won't know for sure unless we test it, though."

I finished stirring, then wandered over to join Kol. He'd set the pop rocks on the table along with a few other types of candies, and now stood in the open door of the fridge. I rested my head on his arm and hummed thoughtfully, until my eyes landed on something else interesting in the fridge.

"Since you've been back in the modern world... has anyone introduced you to the marvel of Coke and Mentos?"

Kol turned to face me, eyebrows furrowed but a smile on his face.

"No love, I can't say they have."

I grinned. "Then I can't wait to be the one to show you."

I snatched the bottle of Coke out of the fridge, snagging the Mentos and a piece of paper with tape too before plopping them both down on the table where we'd been mixing our batter. Excitedly, Kol joined me, wrapping his arms around my waist and resting his chin on my shoulder.

"Okay, so first we need to make the tube to hold the Mentos, to make sure they all drop in at the same time when we want them to," I explained while I worked. I rolled the paper into a tube, covering one end with my thumb and then holding it out for Kol. "Put seven Mentos in there, please."

He complied, sneaking one for himself and then passing one to me. I looked over my shoulder at him, smiling, and he leaned in to give me a soft kiss.

"What's next, darling?" he asked, his voice low. I leaned back into him a little more, but returned my attention to the Mentos.

"Now, it's time for the reaction. Unscrew the lid of the soda, please." Kol took care of it, shifting a little behind me in anticipation. "Good. Now, I'm gonna dump these in, and after I do we're gonna step all the way back, okay?"

"Okay. And what happens after that?"

I shot him a grin over my shoulder. "Science."

With that, I put the tube of Mentos to the neck of the bottle, then quickly moved my thumb and let them drop all at once into the soda.

Kol's grip tightened on my waist as he used his vampire speed to get me to the far edge of the kitchen, hopefully out of the splash zone. A moment later, the reaction started, and the soda quickly bubbled and fizzed until it became a geyser, exploding out of the bottle. Kol gasped from behind me as it hit the ceiling, and I smiled.

The reaction didn't last very long, but once it fizzled down, it took Kol a minute to let me go and move to meet my eyes. He had a ridiculous grin on his face that I quickly mirrored.

"That was amazing, darling," he said. I practically glowed at the compliment.

"Thanks! It's really cool how it all works, actually. See, carbonated beverages are full of dissolved carbon dioxide gas, which wants to form bubbles and escape the pressure of the liquid. But to do that, it has to break its bonds with the water and interact with itself. Because the Mentos candies are actually covered in a bunch of tiny grooves, it makes it easier for the bonds between the carbon dioxide and the water to break, making the reaction of bubbles escaping the soda happen at a much, much faster rate!"

I'd started pacing a little, gesturing with my hands as I explained, but froze when I realized I'd been rambling for more than a little. I turned back to Kol with a grimace.

"Sorry. I know you probably don't care about how it works-"

"What? No! That was excellent, the way you explained everything!" He grabbed my hands in his as he pointedly met my eyes. "Darling, you're the smartest person I know. And it's absolutely incredible. Please don't ever apologize for the way your eyes light up and your voice gets all excited when you talk about something you love. It's one of my favorite things in the world to see."

I started tearing up a little bit at Kol's words, and as soon as he finished speaking I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him to me, kissing him, hard. He smiled into the kiss and wasted no time wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me tighter to him. Finally, after a few long moments, I pulled gently away.

"As much fun as I'm having... I do need to finish the lab writeup for my actual science class."

Kol sighed and ran a hand through his hair, then fixed me with a devilish grin.

"Fine. As long as you promise to let me know anytime you have an experiment to do that I can sit in on."

I beamed back at him. "I promise."

Kol gave me a sweet smile, then leaned in and kissed me one last time. Despite the homework hovering in the other corner of the kitchen, I could feel Kol sucking me in and distracting me to the point that I didn't care about my work. I was just about to give in, too, when someone coughed loudly from behind us.

Kol and I turned around to find Elijah standing in the kitchen doorway, his eyes scanning the disaster zone the kitchen had turned into. Soda still dripped from the ceiling, and horrifying pancake mutations were spread on almost every surface.

Elijah sighed heavily, his exhausted stare turning back to me and Kol.

"I trust that this will all be cleaned up before the two of you run off to other activities? Preferably sooner than later?" he deadpanned. Kol scoffed, and I tried and failed to fight a guilty grin.

"Yes, Elijah. We'll take care of it," I said. He nodded once, pausing to stare at everything for an extra moment before shaking his head.

"Good."

With that, he turned and walked out of the kitchen. Even without vampire hearing, I heard his heavy, long-suffering sigh from the other room. I turned to Kol and giggled.

"Oops."

"He loves it," Kol said confidently, waving me off. "We keep his life interesting."

"Well, that second part is definitely true. Come on, let's clean up at least a little bit of the mess. We need to do it at some point anyway, and I really do need to go back to my homework."

Kol booed and rolled his eyes, but moved to start helping me deal with the mess anyway. He picked up the now mostly-empty bottle of soda and held it thoughtfully, then turned to me with a glimmer in his eye that I loved.

"You know darling, if we pointed these in a specific direction for the reaction... we could probably shoot the soda at Elijah and the rest of my siblings."

I grinned. "We absolutely could do that."

We stared at each other for a few beats, nodding slowly, communicating without words.

"I'll superspeed cleanup," Kol finally said. I nodded.

"I'll finish my lab writeup as fast as possible."

"And I'll go get more soda and Mentos while you do."

I high-fived Kol as I crossed the room to retake my seat at the kitchen table and he turned into a vampire-tornado of cleaning. We had evil masterplans to enact, after all, and with the two of us working like a well-oiled machine, the rest of Kol's family and anyone else in this house didn't stand a chance.

Next with the redesigns we get to the WarioWare cast! which oh god there's so many people here what the fuck! anyways! Here we have basically the cast of the og with two from later games. The Warioware cast designs are peak so not a lot is changed, but hey, I still changed some things, so let's get to them! (shoutout to the official WarioWare website it was so useful!)

Mona and Joe are the easiest since they keep themselves more or less the same - still the deliverywoman extraordinaire and her lovable boss. Mona here like everyone else is a bit older - a college student, majoring in archaeology, and has upgraded from a scooter to a motorcycle (quite literally upgraded, Crygor took her scooter and turned it into a bike). Joe keeps himself more or less the same, except a bit afraid of losing the best employee he ever had.

The man with the beat Jimmy T and the silly lil alien, Orbulon! With the former I just added some stars on his pants and also gave him melanin, because frankly the bright colors work better with darker skintones and the Mario cast is pale as milk, some variety is nice. for Orbulon I just put him in his human disguise's cute little minidress, because we stan a gender-non-conforming king. Fun trivia: Jimmy has beef with Waluigi over who has the better dance moves. They get along otherwise but if there's dancing happening it is ON. SIGHT.

Diamond Taxi's speed demons, Dribble and Spitz! I similarly didn't change much, just more detail on shoes, Dribble wearing his coveralls differently, and their earrings, which are actually their wedding rings, because look at me in the eyes and tell me these two aren't fucking. that's right you can't. Spitz finally got to publish his novel! It's doing better than Dribble expected.

Mad Scientist and Beleaguered Karaoke Robot Assistant Duo, Crygor and Mike! The levels at which Crygor is a cyborg vary SO OFTEN I just gave him the full helmet, a robotic left hand and a robotic foot. Mike I only changed up a smidge and changing his face to an LED display for better emoting. Still Penny's loving grandfather, he's gently trying to steer her towards a focus on the mechanics rather than chemistry, believing that she can achiever her idol dreams without having to rely on questionable homemade beverages. Mike on the other hand encourages to focus more on chemistry out of the selfish desire she can make a drink that will give HIM a perfect singing voice lol.

Nintendo Fanatics 9-Volt and 18-Volt! For fun I gave them the real names of Nikola and Edison. Now middle schoolers, they still enjoy skating and Nintendo games. I did the same with 18-Volt as what I did with Jimmy T. 9-Volt's helmet is more clearly a firefighter helmet - it's his dad's old model that he gifted to him.

And to finish it off, Kat and Ana! I wanted both of them to have more unique color palletes, and as a further distinction Kat has freckles. Like the rest they're a bit older, now elementary-school kids, and while he's not in this post they also get along a LITTLE better with Leo.

#Drops's Art #Drops's Super Mario #WarioWare #Mona #Joe #Jimmy T #Orbulon #Dribble #Spitz #Dr. Crygor #Mike (WarioWare)#9-Volt #18-Volt #Kat (WarioWare)#Ana (WarioWare)

Here's how Hilda/Johanna and Phinium/Lydia can still talk to each other!

With the last fairy mound dissolved, how is this possible?

It begins with the watchtower crystals.

They allow the users to glimpse into the human world and observe specific individuals. They appear as silhoutted shadows to the targets. The observers can be seen, as shown in the ending.

Now, Victoria Van Gale has used these crystals in order to send out radio broadcasts back home. It's how Hilda knew about her father's stowaway state in the first place. Victoria has decided to stay in Fairy Country and there's no doubt she'll interact and get friendly with the locals, and that could include Phinium and Lydia.

See where I'm going with this?

Imagine...

Hilda remembered her promise to listen for Victoria Van Gale on the radio. As she set up the radio and listened, she heard about Van Gale's efforts to fix Fairy Country (and weather reports, of course). She thought, it was nice to do this without cracking ciphers for her disappeared dad or something.

One day, Phinium and Lydia used the crystals to check on their grandchild, and they saw her listening to Victoria's broadcasts. Getting an idea, they approached the former mad scientist and asked for a "special segment."

Hilda was sitting by the radio again when she heard a message.

"Before I sign off, a special shoutout to a dedicated listener: Hilda! If you're listening, as I know you are, I've been asked to invite YOU and your family to inspect your room for peculiar shadows. Your grandparents have a message for you."

Hilda turned on the lights and saw her grandparents' shadows. Overjoyed, she brought Johanna over and didn't give much context (it's a surprise!). As Johanna sat confused, they hovered by the radio as one final dialogue from Victoria came out before they'd hear very familiar voices:

"Thanks to these watchtower crystals, we can hear your replies—it's like a phone call! I'll see myself out, as I pass this over to Phinium and Lydia!"

The radio crackled as Hilda and Johanna looked at the shadows of their family that came before them, while Phiniun and Lydia looked at the illuminations of their family that came after.

You can imagine the conversation that transpired :)

A/N: So much happened in this chapter, I don't even know where to start. At the very least, I will say that I have an art comm in the works right now of Finn's brutal death scene and I cannot wait for y'all to see it. I will likely link it in the notes at the beginning of 27! Remind me if I forget to!

Speaking of Finn's death scene. I didn't realize this until a funny series of events, but there is a very good chance that I may have subconsciously been inspired by @sweatandwoe's fic "Secret Ingredient" (which, if you haven't read it yet, wtf are you doing?). So shoutout to Sweaty for being understanding of my subconscious inadvertent vague plagiarizing. Oop.

Also, yes, Thalia is vaguely kind of sort of AU Tailor-made reader (who is an AU to TMSA reader lmao) I just can't help myself. I love borrowing from myself.

Shoutout to that shy gay little scientist in the outbreak episode that laughed at Shawn’s Back to the Future reference because he developed a mad crush on him in like 60 seconds. Not only do I feel that on a spiritual level, but I would die for you

WELCOME MORTALS.....

TO THE 2023 DIVNE SWAG SUMMIT!!!!!

I’ve been following a lot of other tournament accounts lately and noticed that I haven’t seen anyone make one for fictional deities, so I decided to make one myself! Shoutout to @mad-scientist-showdown @autismswagsummit @gotalittletoosilly and @falseprophetpoll specifically for inspiring me to make this tournament! Now then, my knowledge of fictional gods is.... severely limited, so I’m opening up submissions!

Before you submit, here are some rules to follow:

You can submit multiple characters, but please dont submit one character multiple times!

No gods from real life! Sorry Hades fans :(

The character does not have to specifically be referred to as a god in canon, demons, cosmic beings and other entities powerful enough to either have a significant effect on reality and/or be worshipped/feared by a group of people count as well! Examples of non-god beings that would count:

Bill Cipher(Gravity Falls)

The Collector(The Owl House)

The Lich(Adventure Time)

The Krang(Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)

Jade Harley(Homestuck)

I’ll be closing submissions on March 11th at Noon EST, so get your all-powerful blorbos in!
