Am I the only one thinking about when Branch was grey he could only see in black and white?

Like, I thought of this headcanon in the dead of night. Branch only could see in black and white when he turned grey, and the only time he would see colors was when he was experiencing extremely positive emotions. It would go away soon after tho.

One example would be when he realized he was in love with Poppy, or sometimes alone with Poppy when she wasn't annoying him with invitation. He would also see colors when he was thinking of his brothers or grandma, but those times were rare, or non-existing.

When he gets his colors back, he would sometimes have days where he will see in black and white. Which are usually bad days.

I also subscribe to the headcanon that Branch's hair and skin color fluctuates based off of his mood. It would still be dull and never be like it was before he turned grey or in true colors, cause I think that it's a better representation of his depression and trauma.

I think I went to far searching about alastor and vox facts on Google any opinions on this

Has anyone noticed The spikes on the chameleon's tail seemed to change at points?

In the scene where the Chameleon and Zhen fight I noticed The spikes on her tail stuck out for some reason

Before she attacks the spikes on her tail are a normal blunt/small size

But In the next scene the spikes are sharper/bigger for some unknown reason

This is only a few seconds after the first pic and is easy to miss but I would like to know why this happens or if this happens in other scenes

feat: alpha kags and beta hinata and a pro karasuno team

i’ve talked about this like once before but i need everyone to know that i think about this every day and i’m DYINNNGGGGGGG to write it!

Here is a very long preview:

okay so beta hinata is tasked with being the team’s [*googles: what’s a nicer term for “cum dump”*] for all the alpha team members, which encompasses literally all 24 of them. it’s an exclusively alpha team, aside from hinata, and they are one of the top team in their league, right up there with the other exclusive alpha teams. it’s a great honor to be the chosen beta for an alpha team! not only does he get to play with top players, but he gets to be fucked by some of the most gorgeous guys in volleyball! what a deal! in this world, each team has a beta to babysit the alpha players through their ruts, and it’s absolute gospel that the betas are treated well. they are PEOPLE, not fleshlights. if ever a beta is mistreated, the player is immediately ejected from the team. but that being said, it isn’t like the alphas are obligated to care about a beta’s pleasure, and hinata is usually left to jerk himself off once it’s over. not that he minds, really. it’s just a part of the job. he knows what he signed up for.

anyway, hinata is living his best life, except there is ONE team member who refuses to use his services. hinata can’t figure out what kageyama’s problem is. especially since the two of them are the most compatible players on the team when it comes to their playing styles. they’re basically partners on the court! but kageyama will NOT fuck him. and like… none of the players are obligated to use hinata during their ruts - he’s providing a comfort to those in need, and if they do not NEED, then he doesn’t provide. but why is it ONLY kageyama!? hinata tries not to let it hurt his feelings, but it definitely bothers him. in fact, kageyama seems to avoid him when they aren’t playing together. and, okay, maybe it hurts his feelings like a LOT. like A LOT a lot. because MAYBE hinata happens to be in love with him. maybe.

maybe.

But what’s weird is that betas aren’t supposed to be able to fall in love. they aren’t even supposed to feel feelings of love outside of familial and friendship kind of love - like biologically speaking, betas can’t have romantic feelings. it’s even illegal for betas to mate. so not only is hinata in love with someone who apparently hates him, but he has to contend with the fact that there might be something wrong with him.

AND THEN ONE DAY:

kageyama is clearly struggling hard during one of their practices, so hinata asks him if he needs anything, and he’s promptly grabbed and dragged into the equipment room. and hinata is like FINALLY, but kageyama just… holds hinata, hugging him from behind, and hinata can feel how hard he is. he can actually feel his knot through his shorts. but then kageyama just releases him and runs out after a hurried apology, leaving hinata terribly confused and breathless and with a raging hard-on. and then that sort of thing keeps happening. hinata tries to ask kageyama about it, but he’s being even more avoidant than usual.

UNTIL ONE DAY.

kageyama pulls him to their usual spot and hinata just closes his eyes and tries to enjoy the fleeting feeling of being wrapped in kageyama’s arms, all the while knowing that it will be over soon. only this time it… goes on much longer. hinata can feel kageyama’s breath against his ear and he can feel how hard his heart is beating against his back. kageyama even whimpers a few times and starts grinding against hinata’s ass. and then hinata is being bent over a big stack of mats. he gasps and arches his back, sticking his ass out out of habit. but… kageyama doesn’t pull his shorts down like the other alphas do, but he drapes himself over hinata’s back. he’s breathing all roughly and raggedly against hinata’s neck, pressing himself hard into the cleft of hinata’s ass. and then he does something that no alpha has ever done before - kageyama reaches down the front of hinata’s shorts and grabs his swollen, aching cock. and hinata doesn’t know what’s happening. he cries out, arching back into kageyama as kageyama’s big rough hands drags up and down his slick shaft. hinata’s heart hurts despite this being the most amazing moment of his life and his head is spinning. he doesn’t understand why kageyama would choose to make him feel good rather than just fucking him like everyone else. he’s so confused. but when kageyama buries his face in hinata’s hair and whispers his name, hinata comes so hard he thinks his spine is going to snap. kageyama comes right after, rutting against hinata’s backside and drenching both of their shorts.

it’s quiet for a few moments aside from the sound of their panting, and then kageyama stands up suddenly, spinning hinata around by the shoulders. and he looks at hinata. he looks at him HARD. his mouth opens like he’s about to say something, but instead he just turns away and stalks towards the door. but before he leaves he looks back and roughly tells hinata’s to stay where he is.

hinata is shaking like a leaf in the wind. his knees are weak. there is cum dripping down the front AND back of his legs. and his heart is about to explode into a thousand pieces of it doesn’t calm the fuck down.

kageyama returns a couple minutes later with a spare pair of his own shorts, a full water bottle, and a towel.

“lie back, dumbass,” he says. and hinata does, eyes wide and confused and glued to kageyama’s face. and it’s now that kageyama peels his ruined shorts down, shimmying them over his hips as hinata reflexively lifts his butt off the mat to facilitate it. but his eyes never leave kageyama’s face. the other man blushes as he squirts water from the water bottle onto the towel. his brow is firmly pinched. he looks angry, but hinata doesn’t feel that anger directed towards him. and when kageyama reaches the towel towards hinata’s smeared, sticky skin, hinata grabs his wrist. kageyama jumps a little, finally looking up at hinata’s face.

“what are you doing?” hinata’s voice feels as sticky as his thighs. the words croak out of him. and kageyama blinks away, shaking his head.

“just hold still,” kageyama mumbles as he starts to wipe hinata down. the water is warm. it feels so good that tears well up in hinata’s eyes as kageyama gently cleans him.

“you don’t have to do this,” hinata rasps.

“i know,” kageyama says back.

hinata goes home wearing kageyama’s shorts. and he’s already decided that he’s not getting them back.

and then things go back to normal. for a while. kageyama goes back to dealing with his ruts by himself and hinata gets used by the other players. but hinata can’t stop thinking about what kageyama did to him. did FOR him. it makes his throat tight and his chest ache horribly. it makes him feel hot. every day he feels hotter and hotter whenever he thinks about it. he starts feeling dizzy when he thinks back to how carefully kageyama cleaned him up, how his furrowed brow would smooth out every once in a while as he dragged the warm towel over hinata’s thighs. he aches in weird places when he remembers the look in kageyama’s dark blue eyes when he spun him around and held him by the shoulders. and he can swear his skin still burns where kageyama’s hands were on him…

and then one day, hinata feels…

different.

..

i seriously cannot wait to start writing this.

jungwon looks so babygirl in this pictures, i am having a lot of thoughts tho. any thoughts?

A work of art...

@daerani

I might have seen this said before, on a different post, but I couldn't find it, so I'm just gonna say a few words on this, partially because of that and partially because it's been ages since I've last read the series, despite it being ingrained into my head.

Almost all of the characters in TUC have moments where they are genuine assholes. Gregor has a few points where he says some genuinely disrespectful shit. Luxa, as well as most of the other humans (including Gregor, although arguably to a lesser extent), are deeply prejudiced against the gnawers. Ripred, is, well, Ripred (look, I love him, we all do, but he's a dick).

Even Vikus, arguably one of the nicest characters in the series, admires Sandwich (I think, been a while), a man who literally used poison to commit genocide in the name of stealing land that didn't belong to him.

The only characters I can think of in TUC that don't have flaws are the ones who also have the least lines: Aurora, Dulcet, Miravet. Oh, and all of those characters? Probably also prejudiced against gnawers, just never explicitly stated (to my knowledge), probably due to their obscene lack of lines. Of course there are characters like Lizzie and Hazard, who are literal fucking children so as nice as they are, I think it's safe to say they can't really be counted up here. (Should probably also mention that Gregor and Luxa are also children, just ones that were forced to grow up faster, sadly).

Then again, all of these characters have redeeming qualities. Gregor can be disrespectful at times, but that's mainly because of the stress placed upon him by the various bullshit situations he has to go through, and he usually apologizes after. Luxa and all the humans are deeply prejudiced (actually, I should probably add the fliers might be in that category too), but they are basically raised from birth to hate and kill gnawers, and vice versa. plus, it's shown that despite what is practically being brainwashed from birth, they can grow and change to overcome their own bigotry and accept gnawers as genuine people, as well as friends.

And yes, Ripred, the glorious bastard himself, is a dick. But he's also a war veteran who's lost his family, and most of the respect from his people, meaning he mainly works with humans, who tend to treat him with suspicion, if not outright hostility (until they get to know him). And he makes up for it by letting his guard down at times to be a father to the traumatized pups that dragged him into their pack.

Point is, flawed characters are one of the things that make TUC so great. They're not few and hid away either, they're everywhere, with visible flaws. If you want to make a good character, TUC is a great series to use as an example. Everything casts a shadow, just like every character has a flaw. If they don't, you probably just can't see them from your angle. And if they don't? Like, at all? Give them some, just make sure the shadow they cast matches up with the object itself.

FUCK IT FRIDAY🔮🔮

ok then , here’s something to do with shifter fic but not necessarily what it might look like 😏

“Hello? Hello?”

He strains his ears and then he hears it. An answering shout quiet but there. He keeps shouting and follows the echo off to the side a little.

“Down here!”

It’s enough of a warning to stop himself from falling into the same hole that’s hiding the children. He manages to catch his balance in time.

Stable again he looks down, it’s dark so he pulls the small ball of light that’s been following him forward and lower. It illuminates the deep pit and at the bottom is a white dirty face. Streaked with tears and next to the boy another child lying on the floor, leg wrapped up in a make shift bandage made of a t shirt by the look of it.

“Can you help us?”

“That’s why I’m here kid. Are you ok?” The little face nods.

“We’re cold but ok. I think. Is my dad there?

Ravi nods, “He’s close by, everyones been looking for you. He’s really worried.”

A strange look crosses the boy’s face. He looks embarrassed.

“Is he annoyed? We’re supposed to rescue people not get rescued.”

Ravi doesn’t know Robert Nash so he doesn’t know what to tell the kid stuck at what looks like the bottom of an old well. So he says what he thinks should be true about such things.

“I think he’ll just be happy you’re both safe. And everyone needs help sometimes kid. You should remember that.

Thoughts about Annabeth's dad?

Canonically, Athena's children come from her mind, embodying the respect she has for the intellectual capacities of the mortals she gifts them to. We know gods can show up in multiple forms, but there's usually some features that are similar across their children (in the books at least--Hermes' cabin having mischievous upturned noses, Athena's cabin having blonde hair and grey eyes), leading us to believe they have preferred appearances or features that come across in their "DNA" that overwrite those of their human partners, etc.

My question is, is Annabeth Black (in the show) because of her had or in spite of him??? Did Athena fall in love with a Black man and give him a child that looks like him, or hope that his intelligence would be enough to help him navigate having a daughter of a different race, who would have different struggles even before you consider her immortal heritage?

AND: does it add to her family situation/struggles, or detract from them, if the conflict stems in part from her skin color as well as the whole "monsters are after me" thing??? Especially if her stepmother isn't Black (in the book I think she's Asian?), and like if Baby Annabeth thinks she's unloved at home for more than just her godly blood???

should I cut my hair?

I had a little theory about OFA and AFO, but it's been disproven so I'm gonna make it an AU now. The concept was that after AFO died, OFA would get a huge power boost (power doubled ?) because it was fighting against AFO's will just by existing, and so once he's dead it stops that and all it's power gets channeled into it's fighting business and all that.

So, Midoriya would go from already being pretty overpowered to extremely overpowered. It's just a fun idea I had ! I'll probably write a fanfiction and some point but I have somethinf else in the works right now >:)

what if... by opening a portal between dimensions or being in another dimension themselves, they are calling their dimensions to them?? and that's what makes the worlds disappear?

like, miguel spent so long in this other dimension that he just obliterated it, right?

when miles glitches in the stairs from his fam's apt 1. you can see this moment of him and the cakes from when he was going to see his fam and 2. his shoes get "mixed up" so they are not the same anymore...

different dimensions related to him are coming to earth 42 because he's there...

hey writers, how do you personally like to stylistically emphasize a word that’s already in italics? There aren’t many points in this story that I use stylistic choices like italics but when I do it’s because it’s a direct and prominent thought and usually a repetition of something that was said by one of the characters previously, sometimes I use this to allow the character in question to have a realization of sorts about something, to connect some dots. Sometimes though, that means one of the words needs more emphasis than it did in the original sentence but is now already italicized. bolding it seems obnoxious. underlining it seems iffy. dropping that single word out of the italics looks awkward. Asterisks being used like that in fiction just feels wrong. It’s hard to decide what the right choice would be Ex: “Haven’t you figured that out yet?” Haven’t you figured it out yet? Is how I would change it in, like, a text post. But in fiction it just looks odd to me because it’s not a style choice I typically make Bold it? underline it? Ignore it and leave it up to the reader?
