Here’s a headcanon I don’t know what to do with:

Once they get together, at the end of nights when Dream visits, Hob will take his hand and say, “Stay?” and Dream without fail will respond, “Yes.”

Now here’s the thing about this little routine. At no point is a full sentence spoken out loud.

So from Hob’s point of view, every night he is asking “Will you please stay?” and Dream is saying “Yes I will stay because you asked me to.” But from Dream’s point of view, Hob is asking “Do you want to stay?” and Dream is saying “Yes, please allow me to stay.”

Both think the other one is doing them a favor. Both think they are the one making a request and the other is the one fulfilling it. They’re both carrying around gratitude towards the other for being kind enough to “indulge” them and spend extra time together.

I don’t know how they would ever find out about this strange ongoing miscommunication or what the reaction would be. I just think it sounds like something that would happen to them. They're both emotionally compromised idiots.

#Hob: Dream is so nice to stay longer when I ask him to even though he's so busy #Dream: Hob is so kind to allow me to stay in his presence longer even though *gestures at all of himself* #the sandman #dreamling #halfbaked headcanons #finally given up on putting this in one of my own fics I just can't find anywhere it fits or makes sense to come up #but if anyone has any ideas to expand on it by all means share with meeee

Random Doctor Who Facts You Might Not Know, Part 24

The Second Doctor took Jamie and Victoria to Traken once. The Keeper at the time was so fond of Victoria he gave her a piece of his mind that would one day become Viola.

The whole idea behind clowns came from the ravenous predators of the Time Lords.

When the Doctor's biodata had been altered by the Faction Paradox, the Eighth Doctor's eyes pulsed between blue and green.

The Herald is a monstrous version of the Thirteenth Doctor from an alternate future where she was absorbed by the chaos while trapped in the Catastrophia, a universe of madness. The Herald exists alongside the original Thirteenth and the Sanity, another counterpart.

Katarina was originally judged to be neither good nor evil and was sentenced to wander for eternity in the fields. The First Doctor refused to accept this from the judges and instead went to the highest authority he could, Hades. (He wanted to talk to their manager.) After being convinced by Persephone, Hades relented and allowed Katarina into the Elysian Fields.

Even before this, it was difficult to even get Katarina across the River Styx anyway. Charon considered her unclean because she had taken her own life. To get her across, the First Doctor originally offered his signet ring as payment, but they instead scattered Charon's coins and stole his boat.

Susan made an archive of all of her adventures on the TARDIS. The Thirteenth Doctor would later find and watch all of them.

The Fifth Doctor, Nyssa, Tegan, and Adric once went to a planet full of statues. These statues were highly intelligent. Adric started turning into a statue after the statues started saying that he belonged with them, but the Doctor saved him (because no, that boy is not allowed to turn himself into a statue), to his shock and horror. Adric was very angry about this for a long time since the Doctor didn't let him choose his destiny.

Liv Chenka has referred to the Eighth Doctor as a "kitten with a ball of string" before.

For Yaz's birthday, the Thirteenth Doctor picked up a Sontaran Frosted Boom Cake from a Sontaran bakery, some Zeppelins from Blitz-era London to function as balloons, and a candelabra from Paris to function as birthday candles. The cake ended up exploding into a mess of pink chocolate, but Yaz was delighted regardless.

Padrac was an old classmate of the Doctor's and a member of the same zero-grav hyperball team. The Eighth Doctor referred to him as "Paddy" several times. Like many old classmates and friends of the Doctor's, however, Padrac was evil and tried to not only kill the Doctor but destroy the vast majority of everything in existence.

Cardinal Zero regenerated into an avian.

The Fifth Doctor and Nyssa landed on Mondas as the Cybermen were being created. Due to his alien biology, the Doctor was used as a template to produce fully functioning Mondasian Cybermen.

The Thirteenth Doctor once served as an undercover assassin to the King. Eventually, she was contracted to kill...the Doctor.

When the Twelfth Doctor caught the common cold, he thought he would have to regenerate.

A little girl named Lizzie once snuck on board the TARDIS while the Thirteenth Doctor was away and dropped a peanut butter sandwich down the console. This broke the navigational systems.

While trying to guess the Ninth Doctor's name, the Grimminy-Grew called him Brother Lungbarrow, Theta Sigma, and the Oncoming Storm.

One time while posing as a museum curator, the Thirteenth Doctor met Missy. Missy wanted to know the location of several items that had been stolen from her but never actually realized she was talking to the Doctor.

Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28

Hi! I don't know if you check your notes on here, but I added some information about visceral body fat to your tutorial zine that I think would be really helpful for people. It's a factor that's always left out of the conversation when people talk about the appearance of body fat and I think that's just because nobody knows about it!

hi! i appreciate your input! just wanted to clarify something in what your tags mentioned. i understand that my tutorial wasn’t very inclusive towards amab body types (and that fatpos tutorials usually lean toward afab representation, which i agree) but that’s mainly because i was 17 when i made that post and didn’t have as wide a lens artistically or observationally as i do now. i’m working on creating a sequel tutorial including the difference between visceral/sebaceous fat, and i loved your addition on it. i definitely didn’t intend to exclude fat amab folks from my post, that just wasn’t something i felt knowledgeable enough to speak on, drawing from my lived experience. obviously to improve my work i’ve studied more extensively since then, and i hope my next tutorial will be full of more updated info and new contexts. <3 but of course thanks for adding it on, all of the additions (except for fatphobic people) on that post are wonderful! i’ll make sure to include this in the next one ^^/

#maybe i completely misread your tone though i have a tendency to do that #that post has aged poorly in several regards (mostly stylistically) n i want to add to it with my next tutorial #there’s some invalid information on there and things i’d wished i’d expanded on ie visceral fat that i learned through people- #-commenting after the fact #so i definetly want to work to make it better! i have several pages on it already #but i’m covering some heavier topics like fetishization and seteriotypes that are taking a bit longer to write because of the subject #i hope to get it out before next year? but i’ll be busy with thesis as well so we can only really hope ^^; #anywhoo i hope this clears that part up #i definetly didn’t want to intentionally neglect a whole faction of fat bodies i just didn’t have the context to make something i thought- #-as correct or substantial #asks #shut up lind #(that’s my non art tag lol i should prolly change it)

hope u guys know that when i talk about the matrix i am not meaning it in an alt-right, conspiracy theorist, andrew t*te enjoyer way. i am meaning it in an i-genuinely-have-a-hyperfixation-on-this-movie, trans allegory, capitalism-is-destroying-the-world-and-we’re-being-forced-to-participate way

#in the words of a fantastic review i read #‘god is a black grandma jesus is but an ambassador while women and black people do all the dirty work #the worst threat humanity has faced is the ever-expanding army of white men in business suits #love and hope are still the most powerful things in the universe. a miracle that this even exists.’ #the matrix #jay said

"Naturally, I am more than willing to offer services to anyone willing to pay...or to trade me something worthwhile, at the very least. Discretion is something I take very seriously, so even the most illustrious of clientele need not worry about a thing when in my care. I should also mention that teleportation is hardly the only service available-- in fact, I feel confident in saying that I have such a wide range of offerings that I have no doubt that anyone could find something that catches their interest."

Helai was, after all, considered a king of the underground and black markets for a reason. Fast and reliable transportation was a must for someone like that, and so he'd made sure that multiple methods fulfilling that need were made available to him.

The only real issue was dealing with competition, and those that might attempt to steal said methods...but that wasn't too terribly difficult.

#[Helai -commentary-] #[royalty verse] #He just had to speak up and advertise orz #I did my best to hold him down but he wouldn't have it #really though a startling number of the 'social elite' either /are/ or /have/ been clients of his at one point or another #not necessarily knowingly #but because he has such wide reach it was-- in some cases-- unavoidable #I guess every dragon has their hoard and Helai's is his ever expanding 'business' apparently

i feel like i’ve been WAITING for the other shoe to drop wrt people’s opinions about watcher for this very reason. not that i think the reaction is completely not understandable but the greater the parasocial relationship, the greater the fallout as soon as public opinion shifts. you don’t have a relationship with these people they’re just content creators, chill

#ready to see all the people coming out of the woodwork to say how they’ve never liked watcher/unsolved/etc #and act like it’s ‘cringe’ now that their fanbase feels ‘betrayed’ #it’s great to have a fanbase but parasocial relationships will bite you in the ass every single time #it’s interesting too though because i’ve seen watcher have a LOT of support as they’ve tried to build something separate from buzzfeed #so this is the first time they’re getting real pushback about a decision they’ve made wrt shifting their platform/expanding their brand #so ig we’ll have to see how they react moving forward #but it’s soooo interesting to see how enthusiastically people dump on buzzfeed #AND how many people dump on youtube and how over the years so much of its functionality has been stripped away #how many ads you have to sit through. how much sponsored content there is now. etc #but when they try to do the same thing with youtube that they did with buzzfeed it’s like how dare you not lick their boots #because if you lick their boots and we lick their boots we can watch stuff for free #anyway. #even if you don’t any to say it’s a bad business decision. it’s not like there’s not precedent for it #1) the move away from buzzfeed was successful and 2) what about the dnd shows or whatever #don’t you guys watch those dnd shows that are ‘behind a paywall’ #don’t you guys have netflix hulu disney hbo amazon etc ad nauseum that are actually owned by billion dollar corporations #don’t you guys get on your high horses about supporting independent artists all the time #it’s interesting that people will profess to be such big fans!!! and feel like they’re friends!!!! #but how dare they think their work might be worth paying for #idk. idk. it’s entitlement though #sorry for the rant i’m ALSO not trying to blindly defend a bunch of people i don’t know #but you guys are being soooo fucking annoying about it lol #anyway i’m still waiting to see what their response is going to be from here before jumping to conclusions #also to be fair i am biased to be lenient about decisions made by independent filmmakers vs big studios etc #like everybody freaking out about the ai art used in late night with the devil. who cares honestly #‘they should’ve paid a real artist!!’ idk maybe their budget didn’t cover that #i don’t want it to become the industry norm but at the end of the day i would rather see indie shit getting made then only seeing #the big studios (who don’t have equitable practices anyway!!) making shit #but that’s another conversation. just to be transparent about my viewpoint on this kind of thing #maybe controversial but also can’t we have nuance. for once.

Your cat cafe au is so much fun and so soft I adore it but hearing that Malleus and Leona's cats are friends is so funny to me and spawned the worst idea XD Prefect: Leona, Nebula is pregnant Leona: ...By who? Prefect gestures to Oatmeal and Nebula cuddling.

we share the same brain!! actually working on the cat au ask right now, but have a few irl emergencies that prevented my writing, and here’s a little bit of it! but first let me just say this is 100% my thought process if you and rook have yet to neuter the kitties. oatmeal and nebula have a romeo and juliet love story! \(//∇//)\ more under cut! this isn’t canon in the au or anything but a fun concept!!

“Nebula has never looked better, he scooped her up in one arm and held her firmly against his bicep, smug as she meowed up at him and purred loudly. He had zero hesitation to hold her while walking to his fated rival, looking him and his cat up and down before scoffing. The two proceeded to argue over who’s cat looked better wearing their dorm uniform for a bit, as the two cats seemed content in their arms without hostility to one another. - Leona Kingscholar

Malleus Draconia - As Leona argues with him half his brain has melted to this is the greatest cat. Cat precious. My firstborn is the best in this world. The other half of him smugly picks up his son in his own arm, the cat against his own bicep as he begins talking about how regal he is. Honestly, his cat is just happy to spend time with him and begins playfully nipping at him after not getting enough attention.”

anyways back to the ask!! I’d like to imagine if that actually happened then leona would freak out at malleus, while malleus is shocked he is getting his first grandchild with you already as you reiterate that is a cat, and you both are not married. he’s not listening, to you or leona. they end up being that in law family that despise one another thoroughly like my child is too good for your child but i don’t want to lose custody of my grandchild. cats tend to have multiple kitties at once so im thinking depending on the amount the may definitely mean the boys now live ay Ramshackle with the kittens, with Nebula nipping at her dad proudly showing him her babies and Oatmeal showing his dad his babies too, forcing the two men to bond despite their prominent scowls, but they avoid being too loud because you remind them kittens are sensitive to noises. (。-∀-)

they’d definitely end up trying to adopt the kittens when you graduate.. but that custody battle is a talk for a different day. on the bright side Oatmeal and Nebula finally get to stay with each other openly as they raise the kitties.

for anyone curious ( ^ω^ ) been busy these past few weeks with art fight, and my cat needed a vet emergency, still have to return to the vet later this week, but i’m also working on a r-18 birthday leona fic! friendly reminder my navigation does say mdni and you are responsible for the content on my profile that you view!♪

Σ('◉⌓◉’) actually haven’t written r-18 works for social media in a bit, but i will try my best to make the fic! if anyone does not want to view the content, please block the tag “shrouded in desire.” which i will be tagging the fic, and all r-18+ fics on my profile for those who do not want to see the content!

#questions of styx. #more on the topic of this ask!! it’s ALWAYS fine to send asks like this— and to want to talk or expand on my concepts!! #absolutely love kitty aus and my reqs. are open!! (´・ω・｀) #im happy to receive asks like this!! despite my recent business these motivate my writing \(//∇//)\ #my kitty is fine but the medical emergency has just exhausted me from writing and ive been trying to adjust them to new foods and things #that aside i maybe deleted my rollo draft three times because im self conscious ( ´Д`) however will be rewriting! #im working on a leona birthday fic that should hopefully turn out good #im not too sure how good my writing for those kind of fics could be but id be happy to try my best to reward people patiently waiting for #more content!! was surprised despite my unannounced hiatus i still retained a steady follower increase- thank you!! #( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ quick reminder my nav says you’re responsible for what you read and ill try to give another warning before posting the fic and #try my best to tag the fic appropriately. thank you for understanding!! #i also had the idea to sketch and create oc siblings of like each dorm leader so also got distracted #rather than writing had this genuine thought and got possessed with the headcanon that azul should have a brother #don’t ask whether that’s a pos or neg thing but he just needs one.

a few weeks back I read through the entire KUSWK tag from the beginning and now I’ve gone and done it again for the smithsonian AU 😍 a) you’re so good I’m addicted and not complaining and b) I’m *dying* to know who obiwan turned up with for that double date (and as I’m typing this my mind screamed VOS??!!) I don’t know if you plan on returning to this at some point no pressure at all but if you do, please I’d be grateful for that double date! 🥹🥹🥹

- 🦊

i actually just opened this fic's document today (i have spent so much time at the smithsonian museums lately tbh) so it's definitely forever on my mind!! currently, i'm planning to post it a la kuwsk where every chapter is an unconnected ficlet in the same universe, and the first chapter for the smithsonian au (aka "independence ave and madison drive" on ao3 eventually) will be obi-wan realizing his feelings for anakin.....after a whole chapter of being a lil bit of a bitch lmao

#asks #smithsonian au #obikin #to expand it's like. obi-wan goes to see anakin and anakin is bogged down in budget and busy work #and obi-wan feels something about that and for him #and so instead of making anakin buy him fancy lunch he asks him to take him around the air and space museum #and watches anakin fall in love with the simplicities of his life's passion #cutting through all the busy tape like a hot knife cuts through butter #and obi-wan realizes afterwards that he did all that for anakin because #holy shit he has feelings. for anakin. skywalker. this is the worst thing in the world.

They have an excuse to be lazy and not make use of her assassin skill set again, I just realized. Once the memories come back, she may be written as never wanting to have a part in that life ever again. Therefore she may never kill Jin mu, Jang Uk may do it in her place. I feel this way because I just realized that the Hong sisters don't actually give a shit about their female characters to a noticeable extent in comparison to their male characters.

STOP GIVING US COMPLEX FEMALE CHARACTERS IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA SOLIDIFY THEIR ARC, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE JUST GONNA FRIDGE THEM.

Hope they make use of the trope of the student (Naksu) surpassing and thereby killing their villainous Master (Jinmu), especially if they're gonna do typical tropes this season. At least do that. The worst they could do, at this rate after prolonging her powerlessness since S1, is make the almighty powerful Jang Uk take HER kill for her. But then again sexism lmao.

#alchemy of souls light and shadow #alchemy of souls #that would be the ultimate middle finger #like they're many sides to naksu but her shadow assassin side hasn't been expanded on #the side that is dark and cruel #and she'll have to have the courage to face all of it when she remembers #and not just face and accept it but also FINISH her unfinished business #for her father and for HERSELF she has to kill Jin mu and ALL HIS MINIONS #MAKE HER GO WILD

when I give up on fully drawing Strive so my boy despawns for a solid 6 frames

(don’t mind the animation rant in the tags that I may continue on a later date)

#twrp #starlight brigade #almost there >:D #What I have so far is straight ahead so the hair isn’t as flowy as it should be but hey surprisingly everything else is #I’ve been eyeballing everything frame by frame but the later frames take their time so I’ll be keyframing it #And then inbetween like a normal person. Struggling on drawing 20 unfortunately T~T #Trivia nugget to my fellow animators if your out there: The frame rate varies from being on 2s 3s and the occasional 4s #Only one frame stays on 1s so this whole shot most closely resembles 8fps. The original shot #(When including the blank start and end frames) lasts 5-7 seconds but there are only 29 unique frames #WHICH BREAKS MY WESTERN (disney) ANIMATION BRAIN BECAUSE HOW TF IS IT THAT SMOOTH?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? #Usually what’s expected of a smooth shot is a lot of frames but mother flipping India Swift has such an understanding of timing and spacing #That with the power of a measly 29 frames created ONE OF THE BEST 5-7 seconds of animation I have ever seen‼️‼️ #Am now considering to expand on my “:0” moment but I’m to far in the tags and still haven’t finished animating #Oh one last thing. Ghosta-r if ye are reading. Give me a week of recovering from school and I’ll animate some panels from your slb comics>: #I’ve been wanting to do it for like a year now but was either tired or busy. But now the universe has given me time and I choose to abuse i

I'm eating up all of your HS hcs its so fun to read! Just wondering since you mentioned about Minako, Shinji and Aki's living condition, I wondered about other's home situation as well. Is everyone doomed by the narrative or at least one will have the privilege of living in a stable family????

Sir, this is a Persona 3 00s American Cartoon inspired High School Alternate Universe. Everyone is doomed by the narrative.

Okay first of all, I'm so glad that you liked my cringe AU enough to read it like again, it's crazy that people actually indulged on whatever I made 😭😭😭😭 thank you for even taking the time to read whatever I wrote in this blog it means the world to me 🥲💗💗 Now back to the topic, like I always say I want them kids to be happy but I also want them to go through unnecessary teen angst and drama and be dead inside instead of...y'know...whatever ahem ANYWAYSS, despite this being an AU, I kinda keep at least some elements from canon like how everyone in the dorm has no healthy relationship with any of their parents (or basically orphans) so I'm afraid that everyone is kinda doomed by the narrative here lol.

Anyway just a summary of how everyone's living condition in this AU:

Kotone: Orphan. Lives with her cool but promiscuous aunt (Elizabeth)

Shinji: Orphan. Lives in a foster home with Ken. Foster parents provides only the bare bare minimum which left him to take various part time jobs just for money.

Aki: Orphan initially but somehow gets adopted by an upper middle class family.

Makoto: Surprisingly alive. Middle class family, supportive parents. Parents tried to be involved but he's in his teenage angst phase lol.

Mitsuru: Both parents alive. I have an idea in mind that both of their parents kind of despise each other and used Mitsuru to get back at each other, although Mitsu's dad is much more doting towards her. Her parents' relationship is complicated.

Yukari: Just like canon. Dad's dead. Mom dates various men just to fill in the empty gap in her heart.

Aigis: Parents alive and try their best to be involved in her life. Hippy nerdy parents, think of it like a Cady Heron situation.

Junpei: Shitty parents, deadbeat dad. Rather stay outside of his house and crash other's couches than bring at home. He doesn't deserve his parents :((

Fuuka: Asian tiger parents omg literally takes piano lesson and attends kumon as a child. They have high expectation towards her.

#i love the arisato twins trope but idk I just prefer seeing them as opposite unrelated people #but also like i am reconsidering the idea of them actually being distant relatives and they only found out recently #kotone rarely interacts with makoto but after the reveal she kinda has to talk to him #also for mitsu's parents I was tinkering with the idea that their relationship is kind of the emotionally manipulative one #like both of them are so bad for each other actually but their love language is pushing each other's button to the extreme #love language so volatile you are begging for them to actually just take the L and file for divorce #anyway again thank you so much for actually entertaining what I wrote here like i honestly dont expect ppl to enjoy- #my silly au lmao i still want to expand more and draw this au more but im just so so busy rn #i actually only sleep like an hour today zzzz #asukaspeaker #anon #ask #00s highschool au
