time to nag about my headcanon "Percy has Seer powers" and why that is a great idea

first of all, a little clarification; this isn't common knowledge to the younger siblings. only Arthur, Molly, Bill and Charlie knows. they kept this secret after Fabian and Gideon Prewett died

this implies that they died to protect Percy, who was just this tiny toddler who had absolutely no control over what he could See

the result is to keep his Seer powers secret

some background info; Percy's Seer powers is a rare gift that is apparently passed down from the Black side

Cedrella, aka their paternal grandmother, had it and has taught Percy how to use and control it. that's why Percy had a more closer bond to his granny than the rest of the family.

Arthur did not inherit it, but one of his brothers did. unfortunately, his poor brother is dead (it's not Billius, but someone else cause Arthur had three brothers accourding to the wiki) because he rather die than to let himself being caught by Voldemort and used as a tool.

while he doesn't understand Seer powers too well, Arthur respects it and is trying to be supportive for Percy.

also at a later point, Percy had 1 Bad Incident™ involving his Seer powers and it slightly traumatised him enough to not try to use it again

he takes divination in his third year for two reasons; 1, he also want to achieve 12 NEWTS like Bill. 2, he wants to understand his weird future-seeing power.

Oliver, his roommate (oh my god they were roommates) finds out by accident and keeps nagging him about the future Quidditch match results. Percy refuses cause that's SPOILERS

and now ONTO THE FUN STUFF

Percy can look far into the future, but he settles for the fun stuff

he occassionally makes references to memes and vines

his siblings doesn't understand them at all

at least until they're all adults with families in the future

and they be like "YOU KNEW"

and Percy just smiles innocently even though he absolutely isn't

Harry and Hermione aren't safe from Percy's Seer Shenanigans either

everytime Hermione is working with a crossword, Percy's eyes flashes green for a moment and when he opens his mouth, Hermione hits him with a pillow cause he was about to reveal the answer

Harry asked Percy once if his Seer powers was why Fudge promoted him. Percy simply smiled and said "yes, that was the reason. but the idiot didn't realized that i tricked him all the time and sent him on a wild goose chase."

aaaaand some Ministry shitshow stuff;

HEADCANON TWO; PERCY MADE LIFE SOUR FOR FUDGE AND THE IDIOT NEVER REALIZED IT

ofc Percy would be petty af once he figured out Fudge only wanted him because of his Seer powers. which means the fucker looked at the classified information in his personell file. Percy is obvs mad about that, but it's too late to tell his family about it and he decides to be an absolute menace about it without being caught

"getting caught means that you weren't smart enough to get an escape plan"

Percy takes full offense of being treated like a tool instead of a human with rights

he burns several draft-ups for the "updated law for underage magic" because they're fucking awful and he knows the bastard wants to ruin Harry's education. that also means he would ruin his baby siblings' educations.

he also burnt the suggestion papers about giving Azkaban prisoners the dementor's kiss without trial.

the law suggestions about banning human rights for werewolves, wizard hybrids and squibs also got BURNT INTO ASHES

Percy: I decide the future now. >:)

Scrimgeour makes an early bird appearence cause Fudge can't find the law suggestions anymore and he was the idiot to not keep copies.

after investigating privately, Scrimgeour finds out that Percy burnt them up and this madlad explains why.

suddenly Scrimgeour fully supports Percy and says his late uncles would be proud. bonus: Scrimgeour simply says to Fudge that he can't find things that may be gone forever, it's sadly "lost media" now.

Percy, getting the idea from the twints, orders dragon fertilizer (it's dragon dung lol) subscription from norway's dragon research center and sanctuary and sends it to Umbridge, using her forged signature

he's careful to not get caught, so he looks into the future (a bit at the time, though)

feel free to add some of your own ideas/suggestions/headcanon about Seer!Percy Weasley :)

More Reading Thoughts: A Long-Expected Party

There’s something so incredibly endearing about the slow, meandering beginning of LotR.

Even today—in a day and age when every author tries to grab you by the eyeballs in the first five words—Tolkien’s writing still has that gentle, irresistible draw that takes you by the hand and leads you slowly but surely into adventure. Something about a “birthday party of special magnificence” just appeals to all our inner children, I think; and the tiny mysteries, and the joy of a world of fantastical creatures living in peace and comfort, just adds to that. You want to go to Middle Earth, and you want to get lost in it. It’s like a lazy river at a water park; you wade in, get settled, and relax, and the next thing you know you’re far away from where you started.

All of that to say, Tolkien’s writing is goals and I aspire to be even a fraction of what this man was someday.

Anyway. To the bullet points!

Isn’t it hilarious how quick people are to begrudge one another their good fortune?? If Bilbo had been poor and died in a timely manner his neighbors would probably have liked him just fine, but he gets a lot of wealth and lives a long time and all the hobbits go >:-(

They’re not wrong to be suspicious, of course, but it’s still a biting social commentary. And very funny!

“As Mr. Baggins was generous with his money, most people were willing to forgive him his oddities and his good fortune.” 🤣

“You should come live with me so we can celebrate our birthday parties more comfortably together” belongs in the same category as C. S. Lewis’ “and they got so used to arguing that they married each other to keep doing it more conveniently”

“And suddenly, all the old people found that everyone actually WANTED to hear their rambling stories!”

GAFFER GAMGEE MY BELOVED

Hobbits are all so terribly prejudiced. What endearing morons.

Ooh, confirmation that Bilbo and Frodo look similar!

“There never was much to tell of him! … Till he was drownded.” “DROWNDED??”

I love that the only things we know about Drogo Baggins are that he was unremarkable and fat and married a strange woman

The Gaffer: “Thank goodness Mr. Bilbo saved young Mr. Frodo from those strange, dastardly Bucklanders…”

Meanwhile, Merry feels his eye Twitch and doesn’t know why 🤣

The spelling of jewels as “jools” is adorable for reasons I can’t describe

Tiny Gaffer Gamgee saw Bilbo come home from his Adventure!!

The Gaffer’s words are strangely prophetic. Sam did indeed land in trouble that was bigger than him—and thank goodness he did.

The Gaffer basically says here “if generosity is being strange, we could do with a lot more strangeness!” and honestly that’s a motto I want to live by

I love that Sam is most likely the one who started the rumor about the fireworks X-D

I wish we’d gotten to see the Dwarves visiting Bag End in the movies. It’s a shame they were cut. Imagine what cool costumes they could have had!

“G for grand!” and Gandalf’s smile. Ugh, my heart 🥹

Pity that September 22nd fell on a Friday this year. We were so close to it being a Thursday, like in the book! Oh well. Try again another year, I guess X-D

Are small business owners grumbling about your purchases from foreign parts?? Here’s an easy solution! Just BUY OUT THE STOCK OF EVERYONE FOR MILES AROUND IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS

Also the fact that the post offices are absolutely flooded 🤣 Bilbo, you madlad

“Old Gaffer Gamgee stopped even pretending to work on his garden” LOL

The brief paragraph of NOOO BAD WEATHER THE DAY BEFORE THE PARTY is honestly spectacular. It’s so nerve-wracking for just a second there—which is hilarious in light of the war and death and GIANT SPIDERS we’re going to read about. I think it has a flavor of Tolkien’s beliefs on eucatastrophe hidden in there—it’s not out of Bilbo’s own effort that the weather cleared up just in time for his party, it was just happy providence—but I’m too tired to write an essay about it right now.

“Half the Shire’s been invited…and the rest of them are turning up anyway!”

The hobbits who came through the gate again to get a second present 🤣🤣🤣

“The hobbit-children were so excited that for a while they almost forgot about eating.” That’s impressive!!

I love that some of the toys are dwarven-made. That’s such a cool detail that makes the world seem both fantastical (because dwarves!) and real (because you can Amazon order toys from them!) at the same time.

The names of the fireworks!! Especially the ones that are onomatopoeia, like “backarappers”! It just makes brain go ✨✨✨

Pfffft, yellow rain

There’s the express train reference!

Notable difference here: in the movies, the big dragon firework was set off ahead of schedule by Merry and Pippin, and all the hobbits freak out. In the book, the big dragon firework is set off right on time to signal supper, and all the hobbits freak out (but are immediately pacified by food).

Small detail I’d like to see in more fanfics: “Bilbo had been specializing in food for many years, and his table had a high reputation.” Yes, the idea of Bilbo and Frodo eating like the bachelors they are is hilarious, BUT! We have textual evidence to the contrary! I don’t know if this line means that Bilbo was a magnificent cook himself or simply hired magnificent cooks, but either way, it’s canon that the Bag End bachelors ate like kings!

“The feast was so incredible that everyone was incredibly full and took home leftovers and no one bought any new groceries for weeks. The good news is that Bilbo had bought out all the grocery stores anyway, so it was fine.”

Why is the detail about the golden buttons on Bilbo’s waistcoat so enchanting to me?? I really think this chapter just activates the Inner Child Mode in my brain, and suddenly even something as simple as shiny buttons becomes beautiful and magical. Also it’s just a lovely way to paint a vivid picture in my mind.

I’m so glad they kept so many of the jokes in Bilbo’s speech for the movies 🤣 “PROUDFEET!!”

And now here we see Tolkien, author of the fantasy epic that has defined the genre for a century and counting, unironically using caps lock. Folks, you can’t make this crap up.

The sneaky way Tolkien says Bilbo vanished before he mentions the flash of light is Very Good and hints at the fact that there’s something else at work here

Rory Brandybuck is the G.O.A.T.

“But at the same time he felt deeply troubled: he realized suddenly that he loved the old hobbit dearly.” Aww, Frodo…

Incredible that the debate between Bilbo and Gandalf over the Ring takes up almost four pages, but it doesn’t feel like it. Excellent suspense.

I wonder where Gandalf is going “to bed”. It doesn’t look like he’s staying in Bag End, so did he get a room at an inn somewhere? Is he sleeping in his cart??

Also it’s implied later in the book that Gandalf the White doesn’t sleep. Inconsistency?? A slight untruth?? Secret powerup to Gandalf the White that we’ve overlooked??

“The sun rose. The hobbits rose rather later.” Pffft

The SHADE in all the presents oh my WORD

Except for the ones for the poorer hobbits. Bilbo’s gift for the Gaffer is so simple in its contents, and yet so generous and thoughtful 🥹

MERRY MY LAD

MY FAVORITE HOBBIT (don’t tell the others)

How old would Merry have been here?? Like nineteen?? Incredible that he was already such a logistics guy that Frodo trusted him to keep an eye on the house while all the chaos is happening.

“Do you hear that, Merry? That was an insult, if you like.” “It was a compliment, and so, of course, not true.” HAHAHAHA DRAG HIM MERRY

“IF YOU DON’T LET ME IN, FRODO, I SHALL BLOW YOUR DOOR RIGHT DOWN YOUR HOLE AND OUT THROUGH THE HILL” 🤣🤣🤣

Frodo: “I’m so sorry, I thought you were Lobelia!” Gandalf: “Understandable, have a nice day”

“I would give them Bag End and everything else, if I could get Bilbo back and go off tramping in the country with him.” N’aww, Frodoooo 😭

“Look out for me, especially at unlikely times!” Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.…

“Frodo did not see him again for a long time.” Ooh, ominous.

absolutely love remembering that daniel sloss and his madlad philosophy on relationships exist when im knee deep in angst

youtube

brilliant takeaways include:

the concept of "the one" is bullshit, there are eight billion ppl on earth, you will probably find ten people you like within a 100 mile radius

are you in a relationship to be in a relationship or do you genuinely fucking like them??

falling in love should be an inconvenience which is a fucking fantastic take that i think tumblr would be in love with bc what else is more fitting than hating the idea that you're happy living in your moment and then being bamboozled by the desire to share it with this other person??

in that same vein, if falling in love is all cheery and makes you giddy, then are you in love with them or the idea of falling in love??

"IF THEY MAKE YOU FEEL BAD THEN GET RID OF THEM"

DO YOU WANT A RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE YOU THINK IT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL WHOLE???

anyways im feeling better about being single and ready to mingle with ppl who fit my standards😌

#gonna improve myself!! going to get a full-time job!! going to be so happy that i exist first before i get a bf!!#and if i genuinely fall in love during these things then fine!!#brandy rambles #sorry this was long #but also watch him it's so life changing #daniel sloss #life advice #relationships #video #Youtube

Formalwear anon here: thanks for answering first of all, that was a feast for the mind and soul 😍. Read HMUTD and YAH... 🤯, chef's kiss.

(the Damocles sword with Oliver somehow convinced Felix knows and forgave him, Felix completely oblivious, it's going to hurrrt)

Please do write your version of "Oliver's home life is what he described and Felix finds himself seeing real struggle (way less romantic when not an abstract concept) and facing real consequences for once in his life".

I wonder how 20 y.o. Felix is (probably way worse than dad!Felix) at taking a long hard look at himself and realizing where he falls on the whole intent vs result equation.

You also spawned in my mind an Oliver that was truthful but still knows Felix and is still devious, so he may have suspected the situation unfolding (how close do you have to be to your neighborhood to realize where you are, really? Also, digressing but a good ole tear-filled panic attack might have stopped the whole thing in its tracks, so more proof for the canon!Oliver is not quick on his feet camp) but will swallow the bitter pill for the opportunity to emotionally blackmail Felix for however long.

Well now I HAVE to, my friend 🥰 stop putting ideas in my lil brain, I can only type so hard!

I honestly think part of why Oliver didn't pick it up sooner is that... well. Wishful thinking, first.

Secondly, as someone who has driven a loooot on British motorways... We know Ollie probably can't drive. He doesn't have a car, anyway, and motorways are all the same. You don't get those lil signs with smaller town names for ages... and if they didn't go on the motorways, then it'd probably be even HARDER to know where they were heading. Just North; and he might have been suspicious but there's a LOT of stuff up north.

The sign for Prescot was confirmation of the worst kind- and he was too deep in denial to adapt.

Honestly, I think he knew that their dynamic always ended up with Felix Doing What He Wanted. That the lie wasn't sustainable and would grow stale eventually. He only has so many parents to kill off, after all. A panic attack wouldn't have stopped it- and also... maybe Oliver kinda wanted Felix to find out.

He probably hoped Felix would see it as a grand gesture somehow, write it off as absolute madlad banter. "Whoa Ollie you're fuckin insane mate wow"

That the connection he wanted was stronger than that.

So... I finally got around to read Sweet and Sour Dipplin (currently just finished reading Chapter 4) and I must say (this is going to be quite long):

1. I love the overall pacing you put in the story. The story flows really smoothly

2. You really put Ribombee's pokedex entry into good use and went all out with incorporating that into the fic and put a bit of your own twists into it (it really is astounding. I am now starting to understand the Ribombee lore hype)

3. The way you write Drayton. Sometimes I am tempted to give him a knuckle sandwich (so far it's delivered with love). Other times, I can't help but laugh at how funny some of his scenes are. Him x iconic slaps.

4. Kieran. You absolute MaDLaD of a SIMP. Hopefully he can get a good rest he so righfully deserved (in Juliana's arms).

5. I am so looking forward to the moment when the Area Zero crew makes their official appearance in BB Academy.

I would like to say more but I'll save it for another ask. And based on everyone's reactions on the latest chapters so far, I guess I'll have to prepare myself for one hell of a rollercoaster as I continue reading 😅

- ☕️

I'm sorry but when I get really chunky reviews like this, no matter where it is, I just feel so incredibly fuzzy & it really motivates me to keep writing.

Thank you SO much for taking the level of interest you have in my story, and for letting me know exactly what it's been like to read it. It's one perspective I'll never quite have myself. 🥹💕

#i also like knowing audience reactions for #...reasons #(both good and bad)#LOL #you are all too wonderful #dipplinshipping #kieran pokemon #my fics #kieran x juliana pokemon #juliana pokemon #juliana x kieran pokemon #kieran x juliana #juliana x kieran

typing up character sheets for my minor kinnporsche faves/OCs, and currently i have:

cash

the in-house accountant

yes, he’s aware his name means money. you’re not that funny, and he promises he’s already heard whatever joke you’re about to say

(his mother believed in being very direct and upfront with Fate about her expectations for her son, and unfortunately he’s useless at anything but figures)

became an accountant for the mafia partially so he could threaten people with a gun after one (1) too many jokes about his name

he’s never owned a gun. accountants aren’t allowed to keep guns in the mansion. this is the universe laughing at him for his hubris, he’d like it to stop now please

he makes his debut when kinn goes to order thirty new fish for tankhun (as an apology for his crush being a total walnut). he makes the mistake of crying over how the cost of this purchase is 3x his annual salary, then goes thru the very stressful process of begging kinn not to give him a raise. his life is a fucking trial

vegas’s muder-sex dungeon cleaners/maintainers

there’s two of them. absolutely no one knows their names, just the way they like it

as gross as the clean up is, they prefer that job to stocking. they are utmost professionals on and off the job and don’t judge, but sourcing half this shit is a trial. seriously, bubble gum flavored lube? do people even sell that still? please stop desecrating these top of the line hand wrenches sir, the hardware stores are starting to know them by face. they still haven’t found the right leather sex swing for mr. vegas and they’re running out of stores to shop in, he’s not really expecting them to custom make it, right? right?

the monk

u know which monk

personally i like to think he originally started this whole thing as a con (u know those people that charge money for free parking? like that). some dumb tourist handed him free food and money one day in mistake and he went “o heck, this could be a gig” but then he legitimately became a part of the temple

basically: came for the free food, stayed for the spiritual awakening

ultimate fake it til you make it icon

a much beloved part of the community. he’s especially in demand for baby blessings

maybe a little too quick to pass out those blessed dildos

Kim’s ex-bodyguard

when kim first moved out, there were some...ahem, disagreements between him and korn about how much protection he still needed, and kim took it out on the bodyguards assigned to him

this guy went “hahaha no” after a day of that and quit. except there was a mix up in the paperwork which resulted in him being taken off the guard rosters, but he’s still on the payroll accounts and this guy just...went with it

absolute madlad and world’s ballsiest gambler

the way he sees it, this is still safer than finding true bodyguard employment and he can just ride it out. if kim finds out, there’s an 83% chance he’ll just use this to get rid of more bodyguards. if the payroll accountant finds out, it’s 50/50 on whether the mistake is quietly fixed or made an example of. if chan finds out, 99.8% chance he’ll get a bullet to the head, but at least it’ll be quick

he likes pressing flowers

a select handful of deutsche bank employees who happen to work in a certain set of offices

their contact is cash. he’s been ignoring their calls for years, but when they called to complain about the sex pool shenanigans, he made the mistake of being sympathetic and now he can’t get rid of them

one monday night call: “i have a bullet hole in my office right now and im blaming you” / “we’re not even one of your clients!” / “which is exactly why i can complain to you” / “ugh”

kinn’s cleaning staff

THE TRUE MVPS OF THE SHOW U KNOW IM RIGHT

there’s five of them, each one of them armed with a cleaning weapon tool of choice. i’m still picking out names for them, but vegas would take notes if he ever saw meen and her broom in action

threatens the kitchens any time they try to make a meal with high stain potential. the bodyguards might think they’re hot shit, but they have nothing on these guys. the only fruits kinn’s had in years are bananas and boys and it’s all because of them

are not utmost professionals on and off the job. they have a secret groupchat that’s passcode protected with three kill switches jic where they complain about the kinky shit kinn gets up to. kinn’s tailor has wanted to be a part of it for years, but no outsiders allowed

all of them meet up for coffee at least once a month, but no more than twice

honorary mention to arm, who would be a part of this group if he had less of a role. he’s the most absolute unit of a bodyguard and apparently the only IT guy in the theerapanyakul‘s employ and i love him. chan is the only other one who seems to know how to operate an ipad, but he outsources that kind of thing

#kinnporsche #i want to write a series about these guys but first i dont have enough of me or time TTwTT #cash is my favorite he's not even a cleaner but he's still the most long-suffering of the lot #wimp (affectionate)#porsche should visit the monk more often tho i think they'd have a lot to bond over #arm accidentally became second in command to chan bc he made the mistake of telling chan things they could improve #and chan was like ''oh finally someone i can delegate too''#its so unfair arm does not want to have to think this much #he deserves more chances to get wasted and strip considering he couldn't take a vacation without everything falling apart #...............idk how to tag this to find it again uhhh #mine: kinnporsche

imrahil for character asks >:)

gonna be unhinged about this not gonna lie

one aspect about them i love

his extremely unique dad vibes- not that he's unique in Dad TM but the specific way he manifests it. staunchly Being There For You howsoever he can. in trouble? riding to your rescue. grieving? seeing to the dignity of you and your loved ones. vulnerable? ensuring some provision for your safety. extremely loosely prophesied to marry your cousin? gonna buck that one with everything short of treason

one aspect i wish more people understood about them

he's Aragorn's Gondorian Yes-man NOT because he's a yes-man but because it needed to be done. he's law abiding but not unthinkingly. By Golly is the king going to fix him some problems when he gets back, and this here Kingly Dude is already a-fixin' them. FINALLY, someone with hope for Gondor and a plan. slim hope but not none.

one (or more) headcanon(s) i have about this character

were he not some sort of authority figure with Duties he would Dad unlimited. when not busy governing, he's deeply invested in the orphaned of Belfalas.

as well as

one character i love seeing them interact with

the way he and Gandalf interact is like. hysterical to me. the nonsense cancels out. idk if it's just because they interact in the most tense siege of the war, or if that's just how they operate, but they act like they are the sanest two people alive all of the sudden

one character i wish they would interact with/interact with more

Faramir his sweet babey nephew what does he think of the absolute madlad what are family dinners like now

one (or more) headcanon(s) i have that involve them and one other character

Imrahil and Lothiriel are just alike in so many ways except their sense of humor. he takes GREAT delight in leading her down a path to the worst dad joke you've ever heard

#lotro #HJSFHJKDSHFKJSJDKFNSJKDFN #imrahil #my beLOVED #he's so much #easily one of the guys ever #he and lothiriel are also probably hot temper vs cold temper #takes for EVER for them to get that angry but different vibe

What are your thoughts on the return of the Lion?

Anonymous asked: Thoughts on the Lion returning? What are you expecting or hoping for from his character in the 42M galaxy?

It really depends on the story that they tell with the Lion. If Guilliman has to stand in as the Emperor's Regent, this might turn the Lion into the Warmaster of the Imperium. This would give him something he wanted in a fashion that he never wanted, and that's a good place for a character to be in.

I would love it if he cleaned house on the Dark Angels and told them to stop acting as they do, and conversely, if the Dark Angels fear that they've failed the Lion's example, what sort of stories would that inspire them to do? How would that change the character arcs of say, Asmodai? There could be a lot of growth for Dark Angels characters, not just Lion itself. Similarly, what does it mean for say, the Space Wolves, if the Lion goes to Grimnar to tell him of the day that Russ and he foreswore their rivalry? And of course, if the Lion returns in the Empire's greatest need, does that mean Russ is far behind to return for the Wolf Age?

However, I worry that it will cause a diminishment in the role of Azrael, who is actually a pretty cool character. Likewise what does it mean for Wolf Santa if Russ returns? While the Primarchs returning makes sense when it comes to the return of the Daemon Primarchs to make some crazy 1v1, being outmatched did force some creativity that might have also been cool in its own right. Sanguinius is gone, but we have Dante who is an absolute madlad. I'd like to see some love shown to some of the less-famous First Founding chapters, like the Raven Guard, or give us some stuff with Kardan Stronos and maybe have him take the Iron Hands in a newer direction. Sometimes the Imperium is overmatched - let's see the Salamanders and Iron Hand Techmarines have to use solid craftsmanship to overcome Perturabo's latest Obliterator shenanigans and their Heretek backup.

So, in short, give me the stories, and we shall see what the Lion shall bring.

Thanks for the question, both Anons.

From My CuriousCat

"What would each member of La Squadra's ideal pet be?"

Risotto: It would have to be something large, since he has huge hands and might feel nervous trying to grab or hold something small. I could see him as the sort of person who is gifted a "kitten" or "puppy" and the kitten grows up to be a lynx or the puppy turns out to be a bear and Risotto is like, I made a commitment, I will handle this. And then he does.

Formaggio: His ideal is no pets, really; I feel like he's the sort of person who would rather have a flock of stray cats being perfectly alright on the streets without his help than keep a single pet he'd have to personally look out for. That said, he'd be a good foster dad for cats because he would have experience and is the type who's able to let go.

Prosciutto: I just really badly want him to have a Sphynx cat that he can bathe and massage and buy matching collars for. Just a hairless breed that won't shed on his clothes and is therefore safe to have around and cuddle with, and Prosciutto of all people would be able to put in the effort and attention required by this breed. He'd even make videos to educate others.

Pesci: Goldfish are the easy answer, but I'm a bit more ambitious than that, so how about something like a betta? He tries to look cool and tough by owning a betta, but quickly realizes that he's in way over his head and has to learn how to make the betta feel comfortable and happy, resulting in a surprisingly impressive aquarium display.

Ghiaccio: Whatever pet he gets, it has to be able to keep up with him, so either a very active dog breed or if we want to stretch the concept, a very active cat breed that can be walked on a leash. He'd love getting exercise with his pets, it would do him a world of good; for his sake though, they would have to be sort of quiet, because imagine him yelling back and forth with a husky…

Melone: He'd probably love stuff like bearded dragons, iguanas, spiders, etc. simply because they are fascinating. The team would hate having to buy or see him bring home the pet food, but Melone would love to watch his creatures eat and crawl about and chill in warm spots. Ironically, I could also see him having a snake, because again, cool animals.

Illuso: A good friend once joked that his cluttered abode eventually attracts mice and he keeps one, and honestly I find the idea hilarious. It's just this perfectly ordinary mouse that lives somewhere in his clutter and comes out if Illuso makes a certain noise. He feeds it scraps of his own food and the mouse will curl up on his palm to sleep. Everyone hates this.

Sorbet: He would have a parrot, and he would train it to be rude and sassy to everybody. At first it would seem like a calm bird, just sitting on a perch seemingly minding its own business, but then it sees someone come around, takes one long look at them (practiced that so much it's now a master of passive aggressive looks) and goes "rat" or "clown" or whatever else it can think of.

Gelato: His dream pet would be a goat that was socialized to behave like a dog. Goats are absolute madlads and Gelato thinks the way they can scale walls is hilarious, so he really wants a horned little boy that skips about and fetches stuff and lets Gelato wrestle and hug and manhandle it. The fact that it can also give delicious milk is a huge bonus and a source of pride.

Hey! It’s CureDeity (sorry tumblr makes me ask from my main). I am here, in your inbox today, to rattle my little empty coin can and ask you to list some of your favorite beyblade fanfics! I’m going around asking a lot of people this, so feel free to ignore it if you want, but I thought this might be a good way for people to shout out some of the fanfic they really enjoy! Btw, if you can, I thought it would be helpful to list which site this fic was on so others could find it easier if they wanted to. Also, if you’ve written any fic (or have fic ideas, as we all know, imagining the same scene over and over again is the bread and butter of a writer), please also take this chance to have a massive, amazing ego and tell us which of your fics you're most proud of/is your favorite/etc.

WOOO LETS GO

I don’t read a ton of fics, mostly because I just don’t like reading as a whole and usually don’t have the energy for it, so I apologize if I skip over anyone

All of these are going to be on ao3 because I’ll die before I seriously venture into the wastelands (wattpad and ffnet)

So, starting with my own fics, tbh I tend to hate most of them immediately after I post them, but the two I’m most proud of still are A Confrontation and Hyoma’s Experience in Perpetual Loneliness. Both focus on characters with a lot of angst potential and I still really like how they came out. Confrontation made me genuinely upset while writing it so I was pretty dang confident in it, while Perpetual Loneliness explored a more bittersweet kind of feeling and the complexities of Hyoma’s attachment issues and ways of coping with loneliness in his life that i really like to develop. Also a shameless excuse to write soft domestic kyohyotsu, which is always a plus.

As for you deity, obviously you have a lot of bangers and carry the fanfic side of this fandom on your back, but a couple of my personal favorites from you are the one you made for me with a title too long for me to want to type it out and Ursa Minor. I love the gift fic for the super interesting story, wonderful interactions between starbreaker, emotional scenes that made me sob, and investment I felt in Faust and Zeo’s relationship, AND OBVS YOURE A FUCKING MADLAD FOR WRITING ME A 27K FIC WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU (I still have fanart I need to make of that btw I will get to it eventually I prommy). And Ursa Minor was one that I read early on getting into the fandom and it’s just really gentle and sweet and I liked it a lot. Obviously all your fics are bangers but those are my personal favs.

@lady-lazagna has so many bangers too it’s also hard to choose just a few. The first one that came to mind for me was her mayblade collection, which is just full of absolute bangers all the way through, and then I also remembered Warm Welcome Home because it was cute and made me laugh and I am indeed a sucker for tsujack content

OBVIOUSLY I can’t go without mentioning @heybeyby ‘s fdwdbg because as soon as shekel pitched the idea to me we talked about it for genuinely like 6 hours straight. Every time she brings up a new idea for it I start spinning around at rapid speeds and I am so excited to see how it takes the story in the future because it is gonna be so goddamn good.

One of my favorite fics ever of all time without a doubt is Irisviel101’s Chrysanthemum , which is probably obvious coming from me because it’s a takanosuke and sakyo centric fic, BUT IT IS SO GODDAMN GOOD AND CUTE AND FUNNY AND IT MAKES MY HEART EXPLODE EVERY TIME I READ IT AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH GOD ITS SO GOOD PLS READ IT IF YOU HAVENT

I also can’t go without mentioning Gesso by Arcylic because I absolutely adore how they wrote jack and Zeo together and it’s what made me absolutely fall in love with their friendship dynamic, and what originally inspired me to write Zeo’s Experience in Team Starbreaker

This one. This one goes without saying anything. I just totally adore it and I love the dynamics explored between the characters here.

There’s probably definitely some I’m forgetting here but these are a good couple I wanted to highlight

BUT ALSO.

I FORGOT ABOUT THIS UNTIL RECENTLY. I CANNOT REMEMBER WHEN THIS KYOYA/TSUBASA FIC WAS POSTED BUT I READ IT AGES AGO AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT BUT I CANNOT FIND IT NOW. I HAVE NO IDEA WHO POSTED IT OR WHAT IT WAS CALLED AND ALL I HAVE OF IT IS THIS SCREENSHOT

I fucking loved this fic and I have no idea what happened to it

#praying I got all those links right #i was gonna add something else in the tags but I completely forgot what I was gonna say

If you get this, answer with 3 random facts about yourself and send it to the last 7 blogs in your notifications, anonymously or not! Let's get to know the person behind the blog!

Hmmmmmmmmmmm three things.

Aight

1. I'm from a small ass village with technically other villages nearby, but we have absolutely nothing to do in any of them except learn how to drink. Also, when I say small village, I mean 500 people. Dont talk to me with this several-thousand-people bullshit that some call a village. That's a city, thanks. So yeah, I can drink like a madlad, despite my comparably low tolerance. We're very bored and it's ingrained in the culture.

2. I tend to end up in weird and highly unlikely situations, mostly because of my friends. I'm introverted as fuck with an absolutely abysmal amount of social energy that has only gotten worse with se virus. So its rare that I'd land in a situation of my own accord, but my frens n family take care of that. Highlight would be somehow being invited to a rooftop jacuzzi party of some very rich lad in Berlin. I won't go into the details, but it was a very funky day and I only ended up there because of my best friend, who tends to know everyone, everywhere she goes.

3. I've had quite a few near death moments, where, looking back, had I been a bit to the left, I'd definitely be a goner. And I'm talking car accidents, broken appendix, broken skull kinda stuff, not 'I almost slipped and fell hahaha'. The last one was last year. Went skiing for the first time since I was like 13 and promptly decided to try the second most difficult ski run on the whole mountain cause I'm gonna fall anyway, what's the worst that can happen. I'm very proud to say that I actually managed to go down the first time, without crashing even! The second time I basically faceplanted and had to be flown to the hospital, kindaaaa traumatizing my poor bebe cousins along the way. I got away with a concussion and a few scratches, not even a broken nose or anything. Considering that I was pulling a straight run, because I'm an idiot, and going at least 70 kmh, that's pretty impressive. So yeah, I jokingly say I'm unkillable a lot, but I've proven it quite a few times by now. Got it from my papi.

#other weird fact would be that my family is weird as shit #but tgats for anlther time #anyway #ajekyllsask #tadaaaaaaaaaaaaa #have some funky info bout meeee #thx for the ask this was fun!

The subtle but undying urge to write a 4*town rock climbing au...

Robaire? He works at the local gym, usually climbs top rope or lead. Loves the social aspect of climbing, and will climb with literally anyone who asks. He is the glue of this little climbing friend group.

Taeyoung? Absolute bouldering MACHINE. He prefers climbing indoors, competes in high level tournaments, and his technique is beautiful. Definitely the most well known of the five, especially among other climbers.

Jesse? He top ropes, not super competitive, but enjoys the puzzle of working out a problem. Prefers climbing indoors but will climb outdoors when there is good weather. He also can lead climb, but only does so outdoors (or if he's getting ready to climb outdoors and wants to practice)

Aaron Z? Outdoor lead climber, 100%. Ideally, he'd be on the wall for days at a time. Travels to climb, and takes on huge projects. Lowkey kinda famous, but cannot climb in front of a camera, so there aren't really videos of him.

Aaron T? Absolute free soloing madlad. Freaks everybody out, but he loves it and could never stop. Never tells anyone when he plans to do a big climb, so he kinda just rolls up to the gym and goes "yeah, I did [insert route] this morning, it was pretty cool" and everyone just stands there like 🧍.

I just love the idea of five completely different climbers all hanging out at the local climbing gym and talking about their different escapades. It honestly came to mind because I imagined T and Z both rolling up to the same problem one morning completely by accident, and proceeding to gawk at how the other is planning to tackle it.

"You're climbing [insert route]? Mad respect man, that's difficult."

"That's difficult? You're doing [insert different route] without gear."

"It's the easiest one on the face-"

"WITHOUT GEAR."

I also imagine Robaire and Jesse being kinda the,, gym crushes, if that makes sense. They often climb together, and are absolute eye candy to the other people using the gym.

Like, since Robaire works there, he sometimes teaches the beginner lesson, and offers beta to anyone who asks (he will remind you not to give beta unless asked 💅), and it leads to the teenage regulars swooning for him all the time.

And Jesse just has this cool demeanour to him. Since he climbs slowly and methodically, it kinda creates a bit of a spectacle. (I also imagine him to have a little ponytail and a full sleeve of tattoos, so that definitely adds to it LMAO).

Taeyoung is a completely different beast. He's regularly in sports magazines, he's got brand deals, hell, he probably has a documentary made about him, he's that impressive. He brings a lot of prestige to the gym that the five of them hang out at. He doesn't count as a gym crush, because most people know him as "the guy who won an international bouldering tournament last year," not "that guy from the gym" bahaha.

Anyways, thanks for humouring me on this. Will I ever actually write it? Probably not, but it lives rent free in my mind so I thought I would bestow it upon y'all 🧘

OHHHH MY GOD JUST WATCHED AN ARCHIVED VERSION OF FREEMAN’S (-ISH) MIND 2 I AM SO PILLED NOW OHHHHHH

I need my thoughts out NOW so if you want to see terrible takes and bad ramblings then my thoughts are below the cut. WOAH

FIRST THING that grabbed my attention by its puny weak neck was his Voice. Before I’d even THOUGHT there might be an archive somewhere I watched the public episode 8.5, and I was like,, WOW DAMN YEAH HE SOUNDS LIKE ROSS SCOTT. YEAH. Even when he dropped the voice he kind of sounded like Corky but I digress??!! UHH UM ANYWAYS….

Yeah the voice only got BETTER as it went on. It wasn’t Ross’s voice exactly, which I mean I kind of liked, but honestly Jared fella sounded maybe like a construction worker from New York in a cartoon. Fuckin loved it, oh yeah 100%

SECOND GOD DAMN!!! THING THAT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD-

Listen. Listen I KNEW there were a lot of voices- like Ian Robin and Cyh- but I had NO idea when they’d show up. So you can imagine my SURPRISE when Cyh’s lines were used as Gordon’s subconscious?! And he openly wonders why his subconscious is a girl??!! And apparently that his.. sanity is strawberry flavored BUT HIS SUBCONSCIOUS IS A WOMAN I MEAN.. #FEMINISM or uh… eherm…. Or .. you know…

That’s just my hot take and my itchy trigger finger for my transgenderfication beam though. I mean hey if Felix is the biggest transgender I’ve ever seen then maybe it’s genetic. PERFECT SEGWAY INTO MY NEXT TOPIC

He actually discusses LORE //and in the process mocks his mother and uses a feminine voice that caught me so off guard I thought someone else was voicing it which also just further proves my previous point\\ ANYWAYS YEAH JARED COOL MAN discussed actual lore within the freemind universe. Talked about building cardboard add-ons to the house and how Felix would always fuck everything up as per usual, the absolute madlad. My god ohhhhhhhhhhhkggghh

The continuity and the crossovers ooiuyhhhhj it’s so amazing and cool and good . And yet that’s the problem with being into such old media. Like. Twelve year old media oh my god no it was twelve years ago are you kidding me

But yeah being into media around the time where making fun of minorities KIND OF SUCKS when they’re mostly just ableist. And you’re nd and queer. But I’m soooo past the point of canceling them. Because dude they’ve stopped creating content altogether it was so damn long ago. Even if they did it was such a small niche community?!! And even if it wasn’t????!!! I don’t care?!?!? Gah I don’t know I just find it waaaay easier to enjoy the content while it’s good, then turn around, crack my knuckles and open Picsart to slap a trans flag on the logo of the series that said like two different slurs. Hey it’s better than Robin’s 85 Slur count /s.

Gah

I love the minds

#chribs talkshow #I NEED TO GET MY ENERGY OUT #IT’S EVERYTHING I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE #AND MORE!#I wouldn’t dare tag this

"Yea those pillows. My friend sells them. Absolute madlad for doing it."

"Hm— Yea! I know him! He's quite the character and it shows both in his appearance, personality and oddly enough his living quarters. At first you walk into his RV and you think to yourself: glitch, you live like this? Pink and green and not the kind of pastel green that complements pink, no. Olive green? Pretty much. Yea."

"But the more time you spend in his RV taking it all, the more I respect the mech. His taste is consistently tacky, he would probably buy more contrasting stuff out of spite if I were to told him how much of a mess his living aesthetics are. He just does what he wants."

So I've been watching Assassination Classroom

Dear fuck I need to stop my exams are like 2 days from now

anyway y'all know how it is. Long post so buckle up

-I was pretty skeptical to watch it but my sister convinced me

-I love it so much

-I've just finished season 1 and I have opinions

-The whole series really hinges of Korosensei just deciding to teach a class for no reason huh. Like I feel like if they tried to logically answer "why does an octopus intent on destroying Earth want to spend the last year dutifully teaching middle schoolers?" the whole show would fall apart

-and I love it

-The opening scene of them firing on him as soon as he entered was iconic

-Really didn't like Karma at first. Kinda unhinged, even for this class. Especially when he tried to jump off a fuckin cliff what the FUCK Karma. I know the saying is "Karma's a bitch" but I didn't mean it like this.

-Nagisa. My son. Please protect him. I love him so much. The only one with a brain cell to record weaknesses.

-Damn I kinda...really don't like Irina. Like idk if that'll be a hot take in this fandom but what the fuck. Why would you try to seduce a middle schooler. Why kiss his brain out. What the fuck lady. I don't give a shit about you being a trained assassin part of that is reading a room and this room certainly wasn't spelling out "seduce the nearest child for information"

-Like I know she isn't a bad person and is a professional when she needs to be but I can't get over that initial thing. I might be biased but whatever.

-Also, Karasuma. 10/10 character. No flaws. Absolutely perfect. He's their dad. He gave them all a number to call in case they needed anything. They've al individually, without any input from anyone else, made the ringtone "You are my daAD, BOOGIE WOOGIE WOOGIE" This is canon because I said so.

-I headcanon both Karasuma and Irina as aroace just in different directions. Karasuma does not want a relationship, romantic or sexual, and just wants to live life as simply a tired dad to his assassin children. Irina also doesn't want a relationship, she just uses that to seduce everyone and she doesn't have to worry about catching feelings.

-The vibe I get from Irina trying to seduce Kurasama is the vibe I get from Teruhashi and Saiki. Only obsessed because he won't pay attention when everyone else pays too much attention, then develops feelings for who they are.

-I think my favorite part is how much almost everyone's heart is in the right place. And how everyone comes in with this clear-cut mission and goal and Korosensei just kind of...teachers them into being compassionate and letting loose. Karma. Ritsu. Karasuma, Irina. Almost anyone.

-Have I mentioned how batshit insane it is for the government to be like yes. We can't kill this unkillable creature that blew up the moon. How about we let him teach a class of middle schoolers, since he's gonna kill us all anyway. Absolute madlads.

-Yes I know the reason, no it doesn't stop it from being insane. And the government just has anti-sensei material to just provide for whoever the fuck wants it.

-Takaoka. Fuck that guy. Mostly because he reminds me uncomfortably of my father. Don't like that, not one bit. This man woke up and chose unbridled rage. Sir this is a Wendy's. Please chill.

-Oooooh Nagisa shaping up to be a whole ass assassin and everyone being like holy fuck lil dude dangerous as all fuck

-Karma not knowing since he skipped out

-I love their continued casual attempts at murder. "Hey no murder in the classroom till break time" students: *sigh* fine you're no fun

-I also love how hyped Korosensei is about being assassinated. Like whole ass giving them pointers.

-Plus his little quirks. Is he going to blow up the Earth and kill everyone? Oh yeah definitely. But infect his darling student's minds with the knowledge that he reads porn mags? are you insane? what kind of teacher-

-Really hating principal bitchface. Like I know that's his character but WOW setting up a class to fail with poor facilities and then making the laughing stock of the school on PURPOSE? That's messed up.

-I mentioned this earlier but Karasuma and Irina coming to be assassins and then just worrying about the kids and their future is everything. Is them being parental figures a tag? it should be

-I have FEELINGS about the howmany-part season finale (i lost count I actually have been studying in between letting this show consume me)

-Their plan was fuckin genius it should've worked and it WOULD'VE if Korosensei wasn't a little shit

-When they got sick I was like oh shit

-*sheds tear* my murder children have come so far

-Hey nice to see Irina in her element that's really cool

-Fuck Karasuma kicked ass so hard

-The whole interaction with the guy after Smog. "Hey why you doing that with your voice?" "because it makes me sound badass" sir what. It was so weirdly wholesome and then Karma was so sadistic with the wasabi and shit after

-Nagisa having to cross dress oh my god my poor son

-That shuffling maneuver was so good wow

-TAKAOKA YOU SON OF A BITCH

-Wow this dude is really off his rocker ain't he

-Local man tries to get revenge on babey that kicked his ass, more at 8.

-Oh shit I really thought Nagisa would straight up kill him I would've helped hide the body

-"Wouldn't someone like me be better?" You're fooling exactly no one with the nonchalance, Karma. You're scared for Nagisa

-Karma really saw Nagisa kick ass. It was at that moment he knew. He was WHIPPED for Nagisa I will take no criticism. There is NOTHING more amazing than a smol bean that can kick your ass 10 ways

-"Will you be my guinea pig?" chills. Literal chills.

-The assassins have morals that's so pure. "Well it was either kill children or take a hit to our reputations it wasn't a hard choice"

-Put also they really said their employer's a nutjob but that's fucked up even for us and then they just. Went behind his back to not do that.

-But can you imagine if they never had the showdown and Takaoka got away? The hired assassins tell them the poison was fake and they all go back and regroup against Takaoka later. He's expecting 14 and instead it's the whole class that would've been so funny

9/10 show, I'm on board the Karmagisa train, 100% and I want more

#so i've been watching #assassination classroom #rem rambles #nagisa shiota #karma akabane #korosensei #karasuma #irina jelavic #karmagisa
