Marc watched his younger self celebrate, and arm around Valentino's shoulders. The older man leaned in to whisper something that Marc had forgotten. Valentino watched young Marc reply, his eyes focused on him and him alone.

A rush of emotions hit Marc as he realised what was going on. This was the day he and Vale first kissed. The first time he felt as if he was floating miles above the ground. They both were going to celebrate their podium and then make excuses to everyone. The pair would slip into an alleyway and Marc would lean against a wall, pulling Vale in by his belt loops.

Marc wanted to scream. He wanted to run up to his younger self, and shake him. He wanted to shield his baby-faced self away from the walking heartbreak that was Valentino Rossi.

I think it's a shame that there was never a discworld book involving Moist Von Lipwig facing the elves. Because I would pay so much money to see that. The elves are dangerous and some of them have seriously powerful magic, but for the most part they're creatures of glamour. They entrance, trick, deceive, and intimidate. But the thing is, Moist is even better at it than they are. Moist's primary skills are just his sheer audacity and charisma. The elves are creatures of stories, and Moist knows how to spin a story better than anyone. Plus, it's mentioned elves often try to use their glamour to overwhelm humans with sheer feelings of inadequacy and inferiority. And while Moist doesn't like plenty of things about himself, he's incredibly good at hiding it. As I said, he's a man with audacity. It could also draw an interesting parallel showing how elves aren't much more than he is, just magical con-artists but at least he's trying to be better now. Bonus: Adora Belle Dearheart vs the elves. She has an even more ironclad sense of self-confidence than Moist. Plus she has golems, which would likely be unaffected by both elf glamour and elf swords, and goblins which were formerly enslaved by the elves and are a vengeful people with access to a lot of iron. It would also be funny if they were hyper-sensitive to her cigar smoke or something

"Working" together

Hero: Look, our plans keep getting more and more reckless and also not at all glamorous enough for your usual kind of gig. We´re both clearly not in the right mindset to do this, so can we just move it to tomorrow and go home now? Villain: Oh? Have I been keeping you up all night, Hero? Hero: Yes! And not the fun kind! Villain: …Oh? Hero: Not that! - Oh my god! I meant- fuck. Villian: Well, that... can certainly be arranged.

adora is generally a kind person but she has such an obvious soft spot for catra and it’s so cute… catra will be all grumpy or just nonchalant or something and adora’s just smiling this Specifically For Catra ™️ smile or even with catra’s antics in the horde in their serious training regimens we see that adora still can’t help but still gaze at her fondly like she was whipped!! she would consistently be annoyed with anyone else but she just folds when it comes to catra

Ever After (1998) AU

What makes me sad is that there are very few RWBY crossovers — in general, but in this case specifically — that explore the hilarity of their weapons.

Like. The fandom has gotten so used to it to the point where we’re shocked when the melee weapon isn’t also a gun. We’re desensitized to things like “sniper-rifle-scythe” or “shotgun-gauntlets” or “katana-chain-scythe-handgun.” Non-RWBY characters, even those from an action series, will not be.

Luz Noceda would be alarmed if someone pulled out a seven foot tall sniper-scythe (though she’d fangirl before she’d panic in most circumstances). Percy Jackson will not know how to respond to a gun when he’s been fighting with a sword from antiquity. Adora She-Ra…is probably not gonna react that strongly, actually, but she’s a child soldier who unlocked magical girl powers and is friends with Entrapta, and as such is uniquely suited to cope with the insane bullshittery of RWBY weapons being thrown at her.

Anyway. Missed opportunity for comedy is all.

Someday I will write an essay about how 90% of the bad takes on Season 4 stem from people not understanding that we are predominantly in Adora's POV and she is an unreliable narrator.

It ultimately doesn't matter whether she or Glimmer is right or wrong because Adora thinks she's right and Glimmer's wrong and that's all that matters to the show from a narrative standpoint.

Just because a character believes something to be true, doesn't mean it's objectively fact. Their perception colors how they view events, that's Writing 101. And in this case, it's the key ingredient for effective conflict because both people are not viewing the same event from the same perspective so they can't see eye to eye.

Imagine: catpeople who cant help purring around their favorite people and they fucking hate it.

The first example as to how to apply this to writing was a She-Ra fic where Catra starts purring around Adora and can't stop so she starts avoiding her and there's angst and a tearful confession and shit

after the war the bfs start writing sidequest lists for adora so she can feel useful on her days off. things like "go for a walk in the garden" "remind glimmer to stock up on the minipies in her office" etc. and often adora would just stomp into the middle of catra's work and kiss her. why? well its in the list! adora says as she points at a "quest" unmistakably scribbled in her own handwriting

You have no idea how long this took, but I made some phone case designs! And you can get them as other stuff, but I started this project when I get a new phone. One of these is transparent and designed for stickers specifically. These are available on both Redbubble and Society6. See my post with details/disclaimers about the platform/quality differences here.

Designs: 1) “Promise?” S1 Sword of Protection (Base Version) Inspired by a season 5 promotional poster (near the bottom). Left to right, the First Ones script says “Promise?” and “I promise.” (Note: I chose to curve the final sound on “Promise?” to represent the upward tilt of a question) Colorways: sky blue (RB / S6), navy (RB / S6).

2) “Promise?” Broken S1 Sword of Protection (Variant) The addition at the bottom is an inversion of “She-ra”, a striking point for the sword. Colorways: sky blue (RB / S6), navy (RB / S6).

3) “Promise?” S5 Sword of Protection (Variant) Updated for season five, colorways are shifted to accommodate the new sword’s color palate, but otherwise it’s the same as the first version. Colorways: sky blue (RB / S6), pink (RB / S6), navy (RB / S6), maroon (RB / S6), lilac (RB only — I ran out of design slots on S6). Can you tell which design is my favorite child (which is funny because this is the last idea I had)?

4) Swords of Protection Decal Meant more for stickers and the like, this is a variant includes both the season 1 and season 5 sword design. (RB / S6)

I hate this so much, but here you go. Celin x Y/N where he leaves you in a field pretending he didn't forget you to go biking with the academy. @horribletasteinanything @anitalianfrie

Y/N knew that when she started dating a moto2 rider, that he would be attached to the hip with his bike. But she made time for the both of them. 

Y/N had woken up early and packed a picnic for the two of them. Celin woke up to see her dressed in a short sundress and a pair of matching heels. Y/N ran up to her boyfriend, pecking him on the lips as she excitedly told him her idea. He grabbed his car keys and pulled on the first pair of shoes he found, not bothering with changing out of his pyjamas (a VR46 merch shirt and pair of cargo shorts).

They drove out to a large field about an hours distance from their apartment. Y/N set up the picnic, laughing as he boyfriend lay down, head on the blanket and his lanky legs spilling onto the grass. They ate the food, gossiping about the latest new from her workplace and the newest farm machines he discovered. The Sunlight danced on their skin, Y/N admiring her boyfriend's beautiful face. She leaned forward to kiss his nose, groaning as his phone rang. 'The other woman' she thought, 'his career.' He brushed the hair out of her eyes, giving her a quick kiss on the forehead before answering his phone, walking back to his car.

"We're having a small competition, come quick or you'll be at the bottom." Luca told him, arguing with someone in the background. Celin laughed, getting into the car, focused on how he was going to beat Bez, completely forgetting about his girlfriend who lay on the picnic blanket.

He got to the ranch at the same time as Bez. He greeted his friend with a hug, the pair entering the main house to change. Bez stripped and Celin did too, looking for his leathers. He stood naked except for his boxers cursing. Bez looked at him, not realising his predicament. "Y/N got lost again?" Celin shrugged, "I don't know where Y/N is, but I forgot my leathers." Bez let out a laugh, passing him a spare pair of his. "it's not going to fit properly but here you go." Cele pulled the borrowed leathers on, running out to the track.

Y/N stood in the field, waiting for Cele to come back and get her, giving up when the sun had set, walking all the way home in her heels. Her feet were blistered by the time she got back to the apartment they shared. She found him sitting on the sofa, the tv on in the background as he held an ice pack to his shoulder. "You forgot me!" Y/N exclaimed, pouting as she sat down on the sofa. Celin shrugged, grimacing. "I didn't forget you, I was dirtbiking." She tried to shuffle closer but he turned, taking up most of the space to face the TV. "It's like you prefer biking over me!" she paused, waiting for him to correct her. He stayed silent. "Fine!" he turned to look at her. "It's me or the bikes!" He looked away from her, more interested in the detective show he was watching, "Okay. We're over!" Y/N looked at him gobsmacked, she couldn't believe him!

Y/N stomped outside the apartment, a small bag of her personal items. It had started to rain and she opened her phone to call a friend only to see an instagram notification from her ex. The singual picture was of him with an arm around his friend Marco. The caption made Y/N scream.

_Celin13_: 🌊 Good Practice with the Academy, also broke up with my girlfriend. P4! 🌊

Cendrillion Reader: *checks time and it shows 11:50* hey, what do you say if we retreat to the bedroom to do some deed?

Yan! Prince: for real? You are one full of surprise, being so straightforward~ I'd be damned if I say no, let's go!

-- 00:00

Cendrillion Reader: Surprise surprise, now choose whether you want to die clothed or not *points knife*

Yan! Prince: *panting beneath reader* Well, I must say, that's one of another hot surprise.

Cendrillion Reader: ...what? No no, so what will it be?

Yan! Prince: Can you do it while you ride me? I don't care if I die naked.

Cendrillion Reader: Right off to hell you go *plunges knife*

Yan! Prince: *grunts* I must say, maybe I really do have a knife kink all along...

Cendrillion Reader: No, you just want to die while getting fucked, maybe I should convince my fairy godmother to let you become my fucktoy instead.

Yan! Prince: Cool.

one thing that bothered me about s4 was glimmer complaining about how adora and bow gets to go out and fight the bad guys, while she's stuck in the castle with queen duties.

it's such a tonal whiplash because she just lost her mother to the war and the world was almost entirely destroyed, and she's here like “aw man, you guys get to do all the fun stuff like battling the ruthless war criminals and risk getting killed!”

do y’all think that, in a situation where adora remained in the horde and catra joined the rebellion, would scorpia develop a crush on adora? or perhaps STILL on catra? or neither?

Catra being anxious and having panic attacks over the bad things she did is actually counter productive to any hypothetical scenario where she is self reflecting and/or receiving constructive criticism.

Her potentially having crippling anxiety over being an asshole in the past PREVENTS and/or DELAYS any changes she might potentially make.

Making this character spiral over moral dilemmas does not inherently mean she’s actively working to change her ways. Her being afraid of facing her badness does not make her good; it simply means she has anxieties toward constructive criticism/dialogue.

Everyone's always saying "be creative! be yourself!" but second I bring up my Catradora First Crimean War AU with Russian!Catra and British!Adora then all of a sudden its a "Bad idea" and "What are you smoking
