things to say when trusting the last spy who walked up to your desk saved your life

#i’m so ill #honestly though i think mulder always got on with his partners #he hugs jerry when he sees him #he’s always friendly with diana #despite their rocky romantic history #even his old bosses like reggie he always had a good relationship with #it’s been talked about before but #reclusiveness really isn’t his nature #he tends to fall on the side of trust and compassion #sometimes it doesn’t work out #sometimes you take the keys and are left alone with some cigarette butts and a discontinued phone number #also i want to point out that mulder only ever called his partner by their first name when something was vulnerable and personal #ascension #krycek

Prompt 168

So. Apparently halfas are like phoenixes or something, which Danny would’ve really liked to know. 

See, usually with ghosts if they’re forced to retreat to their cores they reform as was, but apparently, since they’re still partially living, schrodinger's people and all that, halfas have to regrow their body from scratch. At least that’s what he’s understanding from Frostbite. 

But how come he has to deal with it? It’s Dan’s fault for trying to pull such a stunt! Oh, it’s either him or Vlad? Well fuck, he might have calmed down and is going to therapy in both the living realm and the Zone, but he’s waaay not equipped to raise a child except for like, monetarily wise. 

Well dammit, how long will this core incubation thing last, he has his new job in… let him check which offer he accepted again… He has his new job in Coast City that he needs to finish packing for and then all the rest of the stuff to do. 

What do you mean it’ll take months?! He doesn’t have months?! Urgh, fine. At least being a mortician isn’t that exciting, nor dangerous. Just hand him Dan’s core and he’ll figure things out for the living side of things. He’s sure Tucker and Sam wouldn’t be against helping, if only to try and claim favorite aunt or uncle spots. 

#dcxdp #dpxdc #prompts #Coast City is where Hal Jordan lives hilarious enough #I just chose a random city but honestly a green lantern city is hilariously on brand for where Danny would choose to move #He’s just a cheerful space core dude who is glaring down several ghosts & helping others move on while he’s working #He’s also slightly uncanny valley to people outside of Amity & doesn’t realize it #He runs into a reporter Wes at some point & okay the fact he looks like the lady doing math meme when seeing Dan? #Utterly hilarious #Danny holding a newborn with matching slightly pointy ears and claws :) #Wes who is *pretty sure* Danny is cis but is second guessing everything now: #Danny is going to do his best to avoid any hero BS #He’s trying to do his JOB #Who cares if he brings his baby to work he needs to eat and he isn’t going to hire a babysitter #Bby Jordan tried to set the house on fire during his last tantrum do you THINK anyone else can deal with him? That’s what he thought now ou #Ellie visits as well & straight up melts out of the wall sometimes like a horror movie #She has weaponized her goo powers and is also excited to show her dad her new gravity ones #Space Core Danny + Fire Core Vlad = Sun Core Dan #Ellie has a Moon core (something something phases of the moon & travelling across the night sky) #Danny is encountering so many rogues and heroes and just doesn’t acknowledge it because he has a literal BABY who can destroy the entire JL #He’s very tired and would like a nap now

Maybe controversial, but on posts about being dumb where girls are like saying ‘but I’m actually smart.’ Like tbh, I don’t really believe them. Like if you’re smart why does feeling dumb feel so good or hot or whatever to you then? I kinda feel like it’s having an excuse to let go of trying as much as you would be when you’re saying your smart. If you’re like really actually smart, I don’t feel like a break from ‘being smart’ would be such a relief or like as appealing.

#if you’re on my blog much may have noticed I’m just having a lot of feelings about this more lately #like it’s okay to not be smart #you can be happier #and like I feel like I sometimes get people who try to call me smart #like there’s diff skill sets #I think I’m still pretty good at soft skills and like makeup stuff #but like I regularly can’t get left and right right or name all the months and so on for lots of things #idk. I feel like dumb doesn’t mean you’re horrible at everything #like you still have value and can make a positive impact but just in different ways #I’m a soo much happier when at work I’m more focused on being someone others really like to work w than like being efficient at my job #and honestly seems like people prefer that #I have too many thoughts about at this lately #really hoping throughing them into the intenrwbt even if it’s more in tags gets out of my head more #personal #also very much not at a 100 notes but for a text post from me it’s impressive so… #100+ #little thoughts

h-how do you ever finish any of your work? genuine question because you seem to be productive despite your agreste syndrome and I need to learn your ways. but also how do you ever finish any of your work

unclear. last night i stayed up and finished a report worth 25% of my grade at about 5am, arrived on time for my 9am lecture, and spent about half of it zoned out while thinking about seventeen year old emilie agreste. and i was one of the most active participants in the class discussion

#in some ways it IS the move to go to grad school right out of undergrad #because your body can still sort of operate like a college kid #i’m on about 3ish hours of sleep rn and this morning it felt SO over but now i’ve eaten something and we’re so back #i also don’t really do caffeine. except sometimes i’ll go get one of those panera death lemonades #i might be able to snag a short nap before work #but anyway about seventeen year old emilie. i was thinking abt how she was in that movie solitude and adrien said she was seventeen #WAIT. NO. HE SAID SHE WAS SEVENTEEN IN THAT PHOTO ON HIS DESKTOP NOT IN THE MOVIE #well. okay whatever i’m gonna tell you what i was thinking about anyway #OKAY i’m back i just checked the wikipedia page and then i watched the end of gorizilla. to make sure i’m not lying. because i’m normal. #anyway i was thinking about the solitude film and how it’s super rare and old and obscure and whatever. and how apparently #emilie wrote it herself and andre produced it #and i’m thinking about how gabe was discovered by audrey and that’s how he got his start in the fashion industry #so now i’m like?? did gabe and emilie first meet on the set of solitude? because gabe was designing costumes or whatever? #and that’s how audrey found him? have people already thought about this?? #also i just checked and it doesn’t say emilie’s last name in the credits and also it’s ‘graham films’ with the twin rings logo m #so i’m assuming she’s still emilie graham de vanily at that point #anyway it comes back to seventeen year old emilie because i started imagining seventeen year old runaway emilie having her new life in pari #after escaping her british nobility life #and the first thing she does is write and star in an original movie. of course. #and she meets this repressed bisexual punk upstart costume designer who is so the opposite of everyone she’s ever known #and he’s immediately so unhealthily obsessed with her. which she appreciates. #and then they proceed to have the most toxic doomed evil relationship of all time #also she gets cheated because once gabe gets money he represses himself SO hard that he is now exactly like all the people emilie grew up w #but at least he’s still obsessed with her #this is what i was thinking about during class today. i don’t know how i get anything done either. #ml #anna rambles #asks

Stop Asking Neil Gaiman About Fanfiction Challenge 2022

#some of yall just can’t fathom an author who has no wish (nor the ability) to interact with fanfiction of his own works #he’s said multiple times that he’s not allowed to read it nor does he want to #it’s literally none of his business #he supports you writing fics but he literally cannot do anything beyond that #he can’t read it; he can’t interact with it; he can’t reblog it; he can’t do ANYTHING #stop asking #stop askingg #stop askinggg #dear god y’all #i love the fandoms that Neil’s works have created but sometimes y’all drive me CRAZY #Neil Gaiman #please know this isn’t out of hatred or disrespect to anyone in fandom #but it’s disrespectful to Neil to constantly ask him about stuff he’s stated multiple times that he’s not allowed to see #just stick to your own little bubble in the fandom and go hog wild with your fics #and be glad he doesn’t read your stuff #him staying separated from that side of the fandom is as good for you as it is for him #it’s in everyone’s best interest if he keeps that layer of separation #enjoy fics! enjoy writing fics! enjoy reading and sharing fics! but leave Neil out of it #please for the love of god

some traits (physical & not) that i think lian inherited from her parents:

roy: sense of humor, music taste & musical ability, freckles, impeccable aim, favorite color, love of nature, love of sports, and passion for community service.

jade: her entire face, cheshire cat grin, flexibility, fast language acquisition, knack for science, fashion sense, the Stare™️, and favorite foods.

and of course, she gets the athleticism and stubbornness from them both.

#lian harper #jade nguyen #roy harper #i believe in lian looking a LOT like jade but her personality is very similar to roy’s #also #the Stare™️ is just this very specific intimidating look that jade has #so lian has adopted that same look #it doesn’t work the same but it does creep roy out sometimes because #she already looks like her mom but when she tries to do it she REALLY looks like her

Your Potential.

Ok now for the lore, came up with most of this just thinking one night about the arrow:

The Requiem Arrow:

it can be activated just by simply cutting yourself with it or stabbing yourself with it (as we see done with Giorno.). However, there are a couple complications in doing this, it could work, you could get a requiem stand but it may result in your stand rejecting & acting against you, if you're not mentally strong enough to control it (Polnareff, prime example), if it doesn't work depending on how you use the arrow on yourself, like if you stabbed yourself, you could just die & that would be the end. Anyway, I was thinking about fugio & insecurities in their own selves & how that can bleed into their relationship, Giorno becoming mildly obsessed with strength & weakness. GER is like, no doubt, one of the most damn OP stands in Jojo, so it's not like he has to worry too much about himself, but he worries obsessively about his remaining loved ones not being able to protect themselves or he won't be there to protect them. As he believes he failed to do in Golden Wind, and this is especially protected onto fugo... SO i imagined like a big scene where Giorno pulls fugo in close & he's doting on him per usual, he tells Fugo how much he loves him and how much he wants him to be well & all, as he's talking to him he slowly pulls the arrow from his back and then stabs Fugo with the Arrow.

Giorno thinks he’s helping fugo "realize his potential", they're becoming "stronger together", Polpo with his test awakened Purple Haze in Fugo; and now Giorno wants to bring out something better.

The great thing about giving your hero an insane powerup is that you can make them addicted & dependant on them.

Some more food for thought:

Everything Giorno does is because it's what HE thinks is just & right, it's repeated over and over again that he fights for the dream he believes is just. But this, to him, is the first time he's done something out of love' he loves fugo, doesn't really care if what he's doing is the most 'just' way, he loves him and he wants him to be strong with him, even at the cost of what he thinks will be just a little pain, a little inconvenience. It’s for the overall good.

TLDR; giorno stabs fugo with the arrow in the name of love, whether Fugo survives it or not is…. Up to you?

Also, the fact that fugo was being held by Giorno, somewhere he feels safe & comforted, he feels loved in his arms. And when you get stabbed with the arrow, what manifests is what you desire most in that moment and… Heh hehe hehe.

#was gonna vamp fugio post but I promised sad #so this is what we get #all I have to offer to the fugio community is um #Giorno is a good person with good intents #but he has some deep rooted issues & unsolved trauma that manifests as toxic behaviors #he’s deluded himself though #thinking that what he’s doing is genuinely good #and it affects their relationship cus fugo got problems too #sometimes it works out others it doesn’t #this time it did NOT #and if I continued writing this… #I’d give fugo a req. stand and now they both gotta figure out what the fuck is what #fugo MAD #I’ve spammed the tags enough but I have a lot of thoughts #art #creations #pannacotta fugo #fugio #golden wind #giorno giovanna #jjba #jjba fanart

BoulGram Angst Idea.:

So holoforms are some form of physical projections/holograms with the user’s consciousness transferred into it.

One day while the bots were using their holoforms during a rescue (or some other freak accident happened), Boulder was gravely injured.

Everyone else is either panicking or trying to stay calm, after all, the only thing which needs to be done is to transfer the consciousness back into the unharmed/original body.

There’s the chance the consciousness doesn’t make it back into the body in time, but it’s really slim. Unfortunately he happened to fall under that minority.

His vehicle mode still works, but that’s it. He’s only a vehicle.

Every time Graham goes on patrol, it would only be him. The screen, other than when he receives calls from his family, would remain turned off/black.

Boulder is there, yet not.

And he feels the void. He misses the chatters and numerous nerdy conversations, he misses when Boulder rambled to him about his newest art ideas or what he learnt about nature. He misses when they would discuss plans and finish each other’s sentences off. He misses being called and calling the gentle soul buddy. He misses the gentle voice. Needless to say, even if he eventually got used to the silence, it would never be the same and he would stay so heartbroken.

#rescue bots #transformers rescue bots #transformers #maccadam #graham burns #rb graham #rb boulder #tfrb boulder #boulgram #human x alien #couple #frosty babbles #tbh this could work with any human x cybertronian relationships #I imagine Kade never thought he would miss bickering with the hot-head #and Dani hearing whines about flying to high altitudes #then Chief with terrible attempts at jokes his partner would sometimes say out of the blue #I’m aware they only said the consciousness is likely ‘heavily damaged’ if it doesn’t return to the body in time #but hey let’s twist the angst knob up a notch

[mxtxfanatic]

You know what? I can see the argument that Yue Qingyuan doesn’t receive real closure with Shen Yuan replacing Shen Jiu as Shen Qingqiu and thinking that it’s just a qi deviation that wiped sqq’s memories and personality, but honestly after reading all this history, it makes me read the main story ending in a different light.

Like, all yqy wanted was for shen jiu to be able to let go of the resentment built from his abuse and (assumed) abandonment. And maybe he didn’t want that by means of sqq “losing his memories” and couldn’t accept this at first, but I feel like at the end, he truly has come to the realization that he enjoys sqq happy and free more—even without his memories—than a sqq perpetually tortured by shen jiu’s past and as unwilling to let go of that hatred as his memories were unwilling to let go of him. This is his closure.

#svsss #human reads svsss #human metas mxtx #also good argument to make about how your closure cannot depend on the other person #sometimes talking things out works #and something it doesn’t #and sometimes you lose the chance and have to figure it out on your end #yqy was stuck in the last one and was forced to put his priorities in order because of it #and his priority was sqq’s happiness

tbh sanji really does dress like a high end restaurant worker. by which I mean he’s got a large collection of nice, stylistically coherent restaurant blacks, and then he’s got a whole collection of random ass clothes that he seems to wear by just blindly grabbing whatever looks like it’ll fit the weather that day and walking out the door. and honestly I respect it keep them on their toes king!!

#one piece #sometimes this tactic works out for him! he looks very cute in the skypeia arc!!! but just as often it Absolutely Doesn’t lmao #vinsmoke sanji

need an age regression/de-aging fic where a post-KH4 riku has to take care of a younger sora, and bb sora is just completely awestruck over how strong and kind and pretty (and tall!!) his best friend riku got… and is so transparently smitten that riku, who is actually dating present-day sora, is just like: wow we really were oblivious how did either of us miss sora’s glaring crush on me??

#soriku #i’m picturing like… sora right before kh1 or post-kh2 #old enough to have butterflies over this other riku but not quite old enough to know what it means yet #just a puppy crush #there’s angst potential too if it’s kh2 sora before he found his riku #so he throws himself sobbing at older riku #but a BBS sora bouncing around teen riku would be very cute also #anyway i would write it myself but i don’t have the time #also am not confident about writing children #i just want riku getting to see firsthand that he wasn’t the only one pining for years and years #and that sora always loved him even at his worst #8yo sora doesn’t care that his riku teased him sometimes he still wants to play games with big riku #10yo sora doesn’t understand why his riku said they’re too old to hold hands #and is thrilled that big riku is happy to give him hugs and ruffle his hair #kh1 sora doesn’t care about their old ‘rivalry’ or that his riku was working with maleficent #he is just overjoyed to learn that riku came back to the side of light and that they get to be friends again #kh2 sora is loud about how much he missed him and very impressed by how far riku has come as a keyblade master #(also blushes when he sees him working out and then is confused as to why) #(i am thinking of that one manga panel where sora talks about riku’s “big arms” and how he can carry big logs by himself lmfao) #any of these soras would follow a cool older riku around like a duckling and be wowed by everything he does i am convinced

Kiss Me in Komorebi+ 🌸

[Episode Five] One Last Push!

Ohh, baby Nolan 😔 He is so eternally sweet, and he means every word of this! “Your Dad’s Garage” was important for Nolan in his formative years, and that does mean a lot to Daniel. In-game, Nolan will act like a straight-up Fan NPC and giggle excitedly over Daniel, even asking for selfies and doing “positive” Mischief interactions.

It’s ceaselessly charming to watch, but Daniel is notorious for drawing a fine line between his career and his personal life 🥲 It’s hard to live up to the expectations of being someone’s childhood hero!

Peye notes on my way to the store

Since a he’s getting more loves 🥰

Peye is about half a head or so shorter than Fumes and in general is kinda more squat than average. He wasn’t a horror bitty on initial creation. It’s likely he was a classic sansy but he just as well could have been some other close variant.

He’s got a massive hole In the center top of his skull (slightly forward from the crown).

It’s assumed he fell off a train somehow in his initial transport. He was found wielding a railspike bigger than he is that is approximately the same shape as the hole in his head. The interior bottom of his jaw also has some scuffing and gouges.

He’s extremely attached to his old rusty spine. When he was picked up off the streets and taken to a shelter they tried to take it away a few times since it’s a giant rusty spike (in comparison to him). It would inevitably show up in his area again.

He didn’t have it when Kelek picked him up. But then it was there that evening.

Peye doesn’t speak but he does laugh and make other sorts of noises. He also has a tendency to drool but it’s getting better. He’s also got a few other issues but-

Peye is best buds with Fumes who he’s bonded to. Kinda like siblings / extremely close friends and completely platonic. Fumes enjoys helping people and is extremely good at reading them. He very quickly could hold conversations with Peye just using body language and maybe some light magic.

And that’s Peeeeye! :3

#and he IS open to friends #just know Fumesll either be there or close by #like a protective older sibling lmao #(least until Peye shoos him away /lh) #bittybones #Bitty Peye #Peyes railspike #his history before he was picked up won’t be worked out too much #I like it being kind of assumed + he doesn’t have the clearest memory of it #skelekins speaks #edit: sorry some of these are half thoughts #sometimes I forget to finish the rest of the thought instead of moving to it’s connection

It still does not compute in my head that they killed off Tech

#look here he is riot racing! here’s a potential love interest! look at him pushing for them to rescue crosshair! nevermind he’s dead #i still don’t know how i feel about it #i’m rewatching the season rn and i think there’s a decent amount of evidence that he’s going to live #but at the same time. the riot racing epsiode and the moments with phee just make me feel a bit 😕 now #like really. really!! #they ended it on such a weird note it’s so..especially the stuff with phee #they clearly have some communication issues they’re in an awkward place where they don’t quite understand each other yet #and then it’s just…not going to go anywhere #iirc dbb mentioned something about negotiating relationships but sometimes it just doesn’t work out. he’s dead though #idk i do like techphee but having them not work out and just be friends would be a much more satisfying resolution #than ‘oops he’s dead lol’ #this is very rambly and i haven’t had coffee yet so i don’t know if this makes any sense i apologise
