10 years ago, after playing Portal and Portal 2, I came across this incredible piece of fan art by tribute27. To this day I credit it for introducing me to Blue Sky.
It was 10 years ago on this day (at least by my estimation), March 8, 2014 that I began reading Blue Sky. A week later I started posting fan art and the rest is history.

Note, I tried to think of the songs that are actually hated, not just overplayed.
Don't forget to share to widen the reach!
Edit: For the people saying I missed out [popular overplayed Christmas song], this was made in response to another poll with the sort of songs you'll hear on hard rotation throughout December. (If you do have to regularly listen to any of the songs I've listed, I am so sorry.)

Caine
Caine was not originally on board with the first digital circus. After all, he and his estranged brother were the only humans able to blend in with the AI. In this world, humans are the lowest class, seen as inferior freaks in the perfect world of AI. Caine and Able created this world and knew how to blend in with the AI and were able to get away without being scorned by the computers. However, after years of humans going in and going insane, Able decided to start a digital circus in which humans could meet up and interact with each other whilst also working on a way to raise their importance to the AI. This made Able an outcast to the upper "Pure" AI society and Caine had to turn his back on his brother in order to focus on making an exit. After Able got the circus off the ground, he found his brother and convinced him to join. There, Caine let out his true, eccentric personality being a great ringleader for the group. Along with this, he met the female acrobat Pomni, and was immediately infatuated with her. He spends a lot of time trying to find ways to connect with her and eventually, it works. In the end, Able hands the circus off to Caine who eventually comes clean that he is not AI to pomni.

what’s your favorite and least favorite 2011-2013 loki outfits?
which of loki’s outfits would you most like to wear?
I don't think I could possibly pick a least favourite, but I will talk about the details in his costume design I love the most.
And before I get to the tangential rant, to answer your question- I think my favourite is the TDW one and I'd wear his prison outfit (it looks so comfortable!).
Now, let's talk about the details:
I think one of my most favourite is the overall symbolism we see in his outfits.
-I'm sure you already know about this one, but the inspiration behind the shape of his collar being the faux calla lily is a great example. (X) (concept art by Charlie Wen)
-the triquetras! There are so many triquetras seen on Asgard and Loki's got them too. (X)
-the helmet: Apart from the fact Loki and Thor's helmet designs, when combined, make up Odin's helmet design (X), I love the difference between the horns in Thor 1 and The Avengers and how well it goes with the theme of the story.
-then there's the Jörmungandr & Fenrir symbolism in his armour seen in The Avengers (and the overall complexity of it!)
-I really like the layers / the "serpentine like design":
-I find the colour scheme of his costume very fitting (and they're my favourite colours)
-the golden piece on his chestplate is just such a good recurring motif
-(X)
-and what I find interesting is the amount of gold we see in each movie and its meaning:
His Thor 1 armour is very sleek and elegant. Almost appearing untouched.
In The Avengers, it's much darker and worn. The gold we do see is mostly an illusion.
And in TDW, the gold is the most damaged. He still looks just as powerful, but you can tell he's been through something.
-I haven't even touched on the Midgardian outfits yet, but I think they reflect his elegance really well (tumblr only allows 30 images per post sooo X, X).
-about Loki's prison outfit: I would say, this is him at his most vulnerable and the choice of clothing does convey that. I also really like the reference of his sleeve design. (X)

Wait, so to clarify two things:
1. Crossiant had a childhood best friend, but thanks to Hag Shenanigans they’ve not only entirely forgotten said best friend, but aren’t aware they ever had a childhood best friend in the first place?
2. …Did Shadowheart just sacrifice her parents to be freed from Shar? (I’ve never actually seen that cutscene, but I’m pretty sure that’s what just happened there.)
Correct!
2. Correct! (That's the caveat, she can sacrifice her parents to break free of Shar's curse, or she can free them and live with of pain Shar's curse forever. It's a very heartbreaking scene, if you're not playing the game and able to see it yourself I'd recommend looking it up.)

which VC is your favorite !!!
It's got to be IWTV! I do love many of the others of course, but nothing compares to Interview for me. I love the way it explores so many themes, like grief, guilt and in a way, self discovery.
I love the darkness and the rawness of the overall vibe, how it was written from a place of grief and pain, and how that shows through quite prominently. After Interview it's almost like getting whiplash going into the rest of the series with the tonal change. Now I don't personally mind that, I adore most of the books that follow, but to me there's something special about IWTV because of it's gothic vibes and its personal origins.
It's a very character driven story, as opposed to a plot driven one, and I get that that doesn't always do it for some people. Not to mention it's quite slow in pace, but I love that because it gives us the opportunity to really get to know that character. I have a clear understanding as to what they're like, especially Louis as the titular character. I feel like that's maybe at least part of the reason why he's my favourite. Because he's the first character you meet in the whole series, and I had this chance to really connect with him, and get to know him as a character.
There are honestly so many reasons why IWTV is my favourite, but I feel like this sums it up quite nicely for me, without me going on a mile long ramble 😅

There is one headcanon that I came up with and that I forgot and just found again.
I believe that Waffles is Belos. Hunter made Waffles from palistrom tree that grew at the place of Belos' death, and when he finished carving the bird, Belos woke up from a deep sleep. No one even suspects that he's back, and Hunter just likes that his uncle is somehow still with him. He doesn't suspect anything either.
WOAH, OKAY, BIG BRAIN HEADCANON RIGHT HERE! 🧠 👀
SORRY TO WRITE IN ALL CAPS, BUT I LIKE IT! 👀
I LIKE IT ALOT! 👀
I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT! 👀
THAT WOULD BE SO COOL AND SO DARK AND SO SAD AND SO CREEPY AND SO INTERESTING IF THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED! 👀
That would make for a good 'what if' fic. ✏️

for the ask game: dickjay in reincarnated character + immortal au pls!!
hi waffle!! you literally gave me an au i've never thought about writing in my entire life lmaoooo
so *cracks knuckles* let's get into itttttttt
Dick is the immortal of the two. But like, not in a very voluntary way? For this AU, I would imagine Dick is the original Talon for the Court in the 1600s. Obviously his body would deteriorate over time or just be too butchered in fights to be salvageable, so they stick him on ice and switch his “mind and soul” over to another (a blood relative and maybe later on clones when the technology is established, but he always refers to himself as Dick or Talon). We’ll say the Court can do this via magical god shenanigans. Jason is the reincarnation. So, every third generation the Gunn family somehow gives birth to a boy (aka Jason) but otherwise only have girls. (Short note: we’re going to make Catherine the Gunn relative instead of Willis for this AU).
Jason and Dick grew up together, either same age or close in age. Played together as kids, caused trouble together as teenagers, and fell in love as young adults. And then Dick disappears, forcibly becoming the court’s Talon because it’s his “familial duty.” Jason tears Gotham apart looking for his lost love, uncovering corruption and capturing criminals in the process of digging up evidence of the Court, and he becomes somewhat of a folk hero as time passes.
Unfortunately, the Court knows Dick is too attached to Jason and Jason’s on a mission, he won’t stop until he finds Dick and stops them. Not sure how we’d get to the next point but basically, Dick is forced to kill Jason for the Court and Jason vows on his dying breath he’ll free Dick from them because Dick was the only one who cared about Jason, who loved Jason despite his flaws and his bad blood. I imagine the Court had captured Jason and brought him to their secret lair or wherever they keep their god, and because Jason made that vow with his last breath, his blood and Dick's tears staining the stone entombing a god, an entity of magic and promises, it gave Jason (and Dick's unspoken hope) his wish. But with a twist.
Henceforth, every three generations the Gunn family has a son. A son who is almost always baptized as Jason. The Court tries often to kill him as a child, especially once they realize Jason as an adult always digs his claws into the Court and tries to drag them into the light. What the Court doesn’t realize, is that Jason only reincarnates if Dick, if Talon, kills him. This could go either way: only Jason knows Dick has to kill him to be reincarnated and try again, and has to orchestrate his plans and strategies around either winning or having Dick kill him OR only Dick knows and he has to make sure the Court sends him to kill Jason, knowing Jason will only come back if Dick’s the one who does the deed, Dick who can never truly help the man he loves free him from the Court.
The Court often gets what they want over the centuries, however, and Jason dies before he can truly stop them or save Dick. Over and over again, throughout the centuries and the bodies, Dick kills Jason and Jason comes back to save him. I think eventually it would end when Jason is adopted by Bruce Wayne aka Batman and together (maybe alongside Commish and a Batgirl), Jason is finally able to stop the Court and save Dick. And Jason and Dick can finally live, love, and grow old together :)
