Arcane Fanfic Scenarios
Tumblr media
Fic scenarios that will probs never get written but are fun to imagine:
Bobby Pins and Angel Wings: Five times Jinx and Ekko nearly kissed - and the one time they did. Bittersweet snippets of childhood games and cozy rooftop chats, told in flashback form. All interwoven with Jinx and Ekko going all-out during a shoot-out in the present day.
Category: Angst, Fluff, Violence.
Ships: Jinx x Ekko
Some Like it Hot: Crack oneshot. Silco makes a guest appearance on Hot Ones and dishes out the complexities of revolution and the struggles of running the drug trade and being a single father - all while absolutely devouring the ghost peppers.
Y'all. This is Zaun. You expect them not to have spicy food?
Ends with Sean Evans going utterly non-verbal after trying one of Zaun's own homebrewed concoctions... while Silco chugs a glass of yogurt and smiles slyly for the cameras.
And then gets the hiccups<3
Category: Crack, Humor, Politics.
Ships: Zaun x Spicy cuisine.
Arcane Meets Isekai: Character-x-Reader themed Choose Your Own Adventure where reader is flung into the chaotic and magical world of Runeterra, and ends up simultaneously stealing the hearts of a shyly brilliant scientist (Viktor) and a ruthless Undercity revolutionary (Silco). Shenanigans ensue. Multiple endings and wild scenarios. Heimerdinger's poro was hurt in the making of this story - and will be hurt again.
Category: Angst, Fluff, Crack, Smut.
Ships: Primarily Viktor x Reader and Silco x Reader. But there can be so much more.
Empires Rise and Fall: Silco and Mel and up brokering a marriage pact to keep their cities united. It's an unexpected match made in Heaven - with a dash of Hell. Also a warlord mother-in-law who refuses to keep her nose out of the marital chamber. And a step-daughter creeping like a golem in the rafters...
Drabbles of the angsty, fluffy, smutty and political variety. Plus a honeymoon in Noxus. Complete with near abductions and survived assassination attempts.
"Mawwiage. That bwessed awwangement. That dweam within a dweam..."
Category: Angst, Smut, Fluff.
Ships: Silco x Mel, Silco x Power, Mel x Politics.
Through a Glass Darkly: Extremely dark fic. Silco's life post-drowning. Details everything from his recovery, to his rise as a kingpin-on-the-make, to the development of Shimmer, to his alliance with Singed, and his plans for payback. All while he watches Vander from afar with his new family, and plots to destroy both.
Also features plenty of near run-ins with baby Powder - and a sense of fated inevitability. 
The shark was always lying in wait.
Unbeknownst to him, so was fatherhood.
Category: Angst, Gore.
Ships: Silco x Vander
Snakes and Ladders: A retelling of Forward but Never Forget/XOXO from Mel's PoV. Plenty of MelJay cuteness, flashbacks of her life as a Noxian heiress, the grim legacy of Ambessa's lessons, her childhood games with Kino, and a darkly decadent slice of Mel × Silco, as her elusive arch-ally lures her deeper and deeper into the labyrinth of snakes and ladders that is Zaun...
Category: Angst, Smut, Fluff.
Ships: Mel x Jayce, Mel x Silco.
Redux: Multichapter monstrosity. A time travel AU where Jinx, twenty seven years old, is embroiled in an ongoing battle with Piltover - and with her sister Vi. Tired, disillusioned, and with only her ghosts for company, she reminisces bittersweetly about her girlhood days with Silco. Then she breaks into Ekko's workshop and steals his infamous watch, ready to tamper with it and go back all the way to the beginning, before the Day of Ash.
This time she'll make sure they all live: her parents, Vander, Vi, Silco, Ekko, Benzo, Mylo and Claggor.
Safe together.
Long story short: she miscalculates and ends up at the midway point before Vander drowns Silco in the Pilt. Now Jinx has to keep her wits and hide her secrets, as she struggles to survive in a much deadlier and more volatile Zaun. All while she ingratiates herself into their revolutionary circle, and attempts to heal the rift between its two leaders, before it can widen further.
Easier said than done when both men begin taking an interest in Jinx for their own mercenary agenda. And by the end, will slit each others' throats to see said agenda fulfilled. 
Dammit.
Where is that Boy Savior when you need him?
Written as a darkly comical fic from Jinx's POV. Back-to-the-Future flavored adventures. Full of booms, oopsie-loopsies, and political commentary.
All our girl wants is to undo the jinx before it jinxes everyone. Instead, she ends up getting baby Powder quite literally 'unalived,' causing heaps of destruction, and accidentally becoming a mentor figure to young Vi. Meanwhile, as Silco's peer rather than his beloved daughter, she can't help but be confronted with glaring flaws in her pedestalized Papa's ideology. All while young Silco, convinced she's either a spy in their midst, or his very own Lady of the Lake sent to illuminate the rightness of Zaun's path, finds his extremist tendencies widening by a mile. Much like Vander's violent streak and his determination to nip Silco's plans in the bud...
A fix-it fic gone off the rails. Don't time travel, folks.
Oh, and there's a sweet Timebomb twist by the end<3
Category: Angst, Horror, Fluff, Comedy, Mood Whiplash Galore.
Ships: Ekko x Jinx, Silco x Vander, Silco x Revolution, Jinx x Chaos.

i would love to see more about bb!crowfeather, if you haven’t done a post about him already? (i tried digging but couldn’t find one, dunno if that’s just tumblr search being broken tho)
I'll make him a big summary post once I've settled on a design I like for him, I'm stuck up on if I want him to be smooth or spiky. So here's a little doodle page + some casual notes
Tumblr media
Me: "I'm not a fan of projecting real world culture onto BB redux cats,and if I ever was giving a character an in universe accent it would specifically be to give the smartest character on screen a very thick northern english one to stick it in the face of the way southern english accents are associated with intelligence"
Also me: "but crowfeather is italian"
BB!Crow is pretty different from canon
My Crow is a very passionate guy, it's never lost from his young warrior days. Many of the late Po3/early OotS moments where Leafpool is confessing her love in front of his wife and children are from him to her instead
Mudclaw and Torear are some of the best cooks in WindClan during the late Thistle Period. Crowpaw was super close with his mentor Mudclaw, and picked this up from him
For the Great Journey, Crow mashed up his personal collection of mealworms to make tunnelbun rations for everyone
And SPEAKING of the Great Journey, he was already a warrior at the time. His name was Crowfoot, for his mom and dad
Both Dead and Ash were old friends of Bluestar, members of the forget-me-nots.
Ashfoot shared this with him when he was young, and also that Tigerstar was responsible for killing his dad
This feeds into some changes I'm making to have Crow be slightly less frustrating during the Journey. He's still angry, short tempered, and dramatic, but MUCH less openly antagonistic
Squilf and him are usually involved in food related escapades, youll see when I finish the notes of TNP
Feathertail's death changes everyone. Crow most of all.
Crow is an impulsive young warrior. He throws himself headfirst into things, often forgetting that he isn't the only person in the world who matters. Feathertail felt like cool water, reminding him how to slow down and take a breath
The romantic affection was mutual, but imo I don't think it would have lasted.
But no one will ever know if it will, least of all Crowfoot, who is convinced that they both died that day in the mountain
Tallstar’s final name is Crow's honor title; Crowfeather.
And then Leafpooooooool
When she ultimately isn't willing to, like, throw away everyone she's ever loved and go live in the wildnerness with him, Crowfeather loses his marbles, convinced now that Actually He is Unlovable
And still he gets with Nightcloud, thinking that he can't possibly be hurt any more, he must re-prove his loyalty after he vanished for a week... it really was a pretty knee-jerk choice he didn't think through and rationalized post-hoc
No consideration for Nightcloud here.
This post isn't about Nightcloud btw but she is actually pretty reduxed too. The fact she was involved in the raid to kill Onewhisker is politically relevant to Breezepelt later
And Breezy, poor fucking Breeze
Crow is a garbage dad. Breeze is really not in a good environment with him and Nightcloud.
Through points in Po3, before Breeze becomes the villain who kills Firestar and sees a redemption in AVoS, I am planning several moments to establish that Breezepaw is perfectly capable of being a loving cat if he was in a better life situation
To Crowfeather's benefit, age will do wonders on mellowing him out.
He does tend to struggle with compassion though, and remains a pretty harsh character for most of his life.
Crow wanted to be a Light in the Mist to even begin to apologize to Breeze, but Breeze knocks him out lmao no more Crowf worship thanks erins
Anyway. Onto design stuff
Hollyleaf and Breezepelt look a LOT like grandpa Deadfoot, but I'm not sure if I want Crowfeather to look a lot like him
I'm leaning towards him looking like Ashfoot detail-wise but have Deadfoot’s face.
Btw you can observe, here, the WindClan Tail Tuft.
Most WindClan cats have a lighter-colored tail tuft to help them be seen in tall grass, it's a feature like the ThunderClan Mane you may have noticed in a lot of my TC cats.
Ashfoot and Morningflower have a cloudy swirl on their tails, and a "whispy" sort of vibe. Deadfoot and his dad Chicorynose have a dragon-arrow.
Holly got the dragon arrow because She Deserves It
I'm fond of this redux lmao, let men be dramatic

Demetrius v. Robin Redux
Stardew Hub, < prev, next >
Hello and welcome back! This is not a sequel to the first Demetrius v. Robin/Sebastian abuse oneshot, but it is similar write with a little more intense violence and some much needed Maru and Sebastian angst/bonding time. Read with caution and enjoy!
Word Count: 2124
Chapter TWs: Abusive language/Behavior, Attempted Drowning
--
Sitting alone against a tree by the lake, Sebastian watched his exhale of smoke float up and fade into the slowly dimming evening sky. It was peaceful as he closed his eyes and relaxed, the calm spell not breaking even as quiet footsteps crunched towards his spot from the path behind him.
The footsteps stopped beside where he sat, Sebastian lazing his head to one side and opening his eyes to meet the gaze of his awkward half-sister, who smiled nervously before asking, “Hey… do you mind if I join you?” 
“Nope, as long as you don't mind the smoke.” Sebastian shrugged, scooting a little to one side to make some room against the thick trunk he was leaned up against.
“Truthfully, I prefer the smell of smoke to the smell of antiseptic from the clinic.” Maru admitted with a small laugh, taking the opening beside him and settling in to watch the sun slowly sink towards the horizon. The two settled into the mostly comfortable silence for several minutes, before Maru let out a slow, heavy sigh. “I, uh, I just wanted to say I'm really sorry about my dad.”
Sebastian didn’t turn to look at her, though she could still see the way his eyes widened a fraction in surprise. “You don't need to speak for him.” 
“I'm not trying to. I just don’t want his stupid favoritism to put some kind of wedge between us.” Maru was trying hard to keep looking at Sebastian as she spoke, burning holes into the side of his head as he stared out at the water instead of looking at her back. She cleared her throat, her tone unwaveringly apologetic. “Or, well, I want to get rid of the wedge.”
“Not sure why. My company’s not exactly in high demand.” There was an unspoken tension in Sebastian’s shoulders as he shrugged in a manner he hoped looked dismissive, but Maru softened a little as she noticed.
“I understand if you don't want to be my friend or even my sibling, but it would be nice if we talked a little more.” The offer wasn’t pushy, Sebastian taking a long drag from his cigarette as she quietly continued, “Is that really so much to ask?”
“...I suppose not.” Sebastian took a long moment to answer, but he wasn’t actually thinking through whether or not to agree. Warmth blossomed in his chest from her words, the moment he took used to try and keep any of it from spreading across his face where she could see. “It wouldn’t hurt to get to know each other a little better.”
“That's good. I'd like to make some memories that are a little more recent than that time you carried me to Harvey’s after my brush-bot exploded.” Maru laughed, relaxing back against the tree next to him and lightly punching his arm. “And a little more pleasant.”
“Getting you down the mountain in a timely manner was harder than I expected.” Sebastian defended, chuckling a little himself at the memory of her covered in ash from the mishap. “I'm just glad none of that scarred.”
“Me too.” They lapsed back into a comfortable silence, watching the sky slowly fade from a pastel blue to a golden orange, the gray smoke a contrast to the vibrancy of spring around them. Maru waited until the orange had started to turn red for her to turn to Sebastian again, biting at her bottom lip nervously before blurting out, “And for the record, I don't like my dad all that much, anyway.”
“Not words I'd expect to hear from such a golden child.” Sebastian’s words were sharp, but the crooked grin he shot her way betrayed his real feelings.
“It's not like I asked him to do that.” Maru rolled her eyes, before glancing back over her shoulder as they both heard footsteps coming up the path towards them. She paused as Sebastian looked over at her worriedly, noticing her grimace. “Oh, speak of the devil.”
Both siblings fell quiet as Demetrius approached, Sebastian making a point to ignore him and take another long drag from his cigarette.
“What are you two up to?” Demetrius asked, though Maru twitched in annoyance as he only seemed to be addressing her.
“Just talking.” She said flatly, turning away from him and not offering any more information.
“That's not illegal, is it?” Sebastian asked tersely, continuing to stare at the lake.
“I was just asking a question.” Demetrius countered defensively, crossing his arms to glare disapprovingly at Sebastian. “No need for that kind of attitude.”
“We were in the middle of something, Dad, if you don't mind.” Maru tried, gesturing for Demetrius to leave with an expectant look.
“Well I do mind, if he's going to keep smoking like that.” Not budging, Demetrius continued to glare past Maru at her half-brother. “I don’t know what I'll do if you pick up such a nasty habit.”
Sebastian glanced over at Demetrius with just his eyes, sneering, “Can I do anything right in your eyes?”
“Apparently not.” Demetrius shrugged, ignoring Sebastian’s tone. “All you are is a bad influence.”
“Dad, c’mon. Just leave us alone.” Maru could feel the tension rising, standing to her feet and trying to intervene before things escalated.
“Not unless he puts that cigarette out right this instant.”
“I'm outside, and away from the house.” Sebastian complained angrily, intentionally taking a puff and blowing the smoke in Demetrius’ general direction. “What more could you want?”
“You to not do it in front of my daughter, for one.” Waving a hand in front of his face, Demetrius’ voice was getting louder by the word as Maru steeled herself and fully got in between the two.
“I'm an adult, Dad. I can make my own choices.” She interrupted angrily, but her dad wasn’t listening as he leaned over to gesture at where Sebastian was still casually seated against the tree.
“Not with him breathing cigarette smoke down the back of your neck.” He huffed, before fully stepping past Maru to bend down and snatch the cigarette from Sebastian’s hand and throw it into the lake.
“What is your problem?!” Sebastian jumped to his feet to get up in Demetrius’ face, Maru awkwardly pushed off to the side.
“You are!” Demetrius answered hotly, pointing a finger to jab it into Sebastian’s chest. “If I had things my way, you'd be freeloading off of one of your trash friends instead of us!”
“I'm getting Mom.” Maru declared loudly, turning and running back towards the house—neither of the men paying her any mind as they continued to argue.
Sebastian grabbed Demetrius’ outstretched hand, tugging it away from him and shoving him back. “You can say whatever you'd like about me, but you leave Sam and Abby out of this!” 
“They're enablers!” Demetrius stepped back up after stumbling from the shove, fuming. “I bet they say it's alright for you to talk back to me, too!”
“They'd rather I talk back than put up with your toxic shit!” 
“Fine! Have it your way!” Demetrius whirled on his heels to head back inside, but stopped in his tracks as he noticed Sebastian angrily sitting down and reaching to get himself a new cigarette from the pack beside him. He knelt down beside him, smacking the pack away from him with an oddly sinister grin. “Smoking two cigarettes in one night would be wasteful. Why don't I help you find the one I threw away?”
“What—? No!!” Sebastian started to scoff, but it cut off into a concerned shout as Demetrius grabbed the back of his head and pushed him towards the surface of the lake. “Hey, let go!”
Demetrius’ other hand pinned Sebastian’s nearest arm to the bank of the lake as he toppled him forward into the cold water, only able to gasp in a half-breath and flail his free hand wildly.
Sebastian couldn’t breathe.
He was entirely unprepared to be shoved into the water, his awkward attempt to get in a breath to hold before being pushed in earning him the harsh sting of water surging up his nose and filling up his mouth as his body panicked from the submersion. The water tasted like grass and rocks, a similar smell lingering in his mind even as his nose and throat burned from the forced intrusion, eyes bleary and rapidly blinking to clear his vision of swimming black spots to no avail. His free hand found no purchase on the bank or on Demetrius’ hand holding his fast under the way, bangs swirling wildly in the water from every jerking movement he made to try and break free and fucking breathe.
Water rushed in and out of ears in time with the audible blood pounding in his head, vision dimming with every passing second. He was frantic to get away, instinct taking over the last few rational thoughts as he felt his chest constricting from the lack of air and the water sloshing around inside his lungs that burned with the certainty that he could die if this went on any longer.
Suddenly several hands were grabbing at him, pulling him upwards and out of the water fast enough he barely registered the change as his lungs sputtered, unable to take in any air. He saw stars as his head landed on solid ground, feeling himself coughing hard and heaving to take in what little air he could manage around the water he was trying to eject.
Sebastian’s mind was fuzzy. Everything was blurry and dulled, hearing nothing more than a loud ringing and seeing only the darkening blue sky. He tried to tell himself that he was safe and out of the water, but he couldn’t shake the instinct that wanted him to believe he was still on the verge of death. It left him exhausted, taking a brief moment to close his eyes and rest before prying them back open as unconsciousness tried to pull him under.
“Sebastian? Can you hear me?” He heard Maru ask, her voice distant as she appeared in front of his slowly clearing vision, blinking as he realized the light blue above him had entirely turned to the muted twilight of night. The only answer he could muster was a sputtering cough, trying to keep his eyes from sliding closed again—not wanting to lose anymore time.
“Oh god… I can't believe this…” His mom was somewhere nearby, feeling himself being picked up off of the grass and carried as he let his eyes slip closed again.
“He’s breathing, so that’s a good sign…”
I’ll just rest for a minute…
The next time he opened his eyes it was because of yelling, not quite catching much of it except for Robin’s loud shriek of, “If you ever set foot in this house again, I'll kill you myself!” 
The yelling was loud and hurt his ears, so he tried to shift to get more comfortable and go back to the comforting warmth of sleep, only for his arms to barely twitch and his mind to slip from his grasp again.
Sebastian finally properly pulled himself out of the darkness what felt like an eternity later, forcing his eyes open and his breathing to even out. “Ow…” He mumbled, hearing two sets of footsteps rush over to the couch he belatedly realized he was laying on, Robin and Maru looking down at him with a mix of panic and relief.
“Sebby! Are you okay?!” Robin demanded as Maru seemed to be checking his pulse, his mom worriedly grabbing his face with both of her hands.
“Yeah, I'm…” Sebastian started to answer, before a wet cough racked his body. He managed a sheepish smile as he got himself under control, wincing as he corrected, “Actually, I don't think I could make it sound convincing. I’ve been better.”
“I'm so glad Maru came and got me when she did.” Robin let go of him to slump to the floor beside the couch, sighing loudly in relief. “You were barely breathing when we got you out of the lake.”
Sebastian frowned, unable to grasp anything that had happened after he'd gone under. “What exactly happened?”
“She beat Dad bloody while I tried to get the water out of your lungs.” Maru chimed in with a satisfied smirk, Robin quickly going red in embarrassment.
“I may have gotten a little heated…”
Maru patted Robin’s shoulder, before turning to Sebastian with a hand on her hip. “Now that you're awake, we should get you to the clinic. Just to be sure you're okay now.”
“Your turn to carry me down the mountain.” Sebastian grinned up at her, Maru trying to keep the fondly annoyed amusement off her face.
“Oh, shut up.”

Everknight Redux
Since I sacrifice. Since I shall.
Let my sheen Unsheath its light.
Swordless, this, My soul strikes
Through the ethering Abyss. You will never
Contain me The way I whisper
In majesty of prayer.  My word is my all. 
My word. My word, The depths to which
I will fall. If eternities Dare call
Nobilities of spirit Exhumed, for you
I will after-life. For You I will master
Strife, in its insidious Lows. Are mine to quell. 
In visions I swell with Ecstasies sincere
The heart is a shield Inscribed ornate, golden,
Its language untongued. Expressions of always.
Shadow-song delirium, Through dark-along, hum.
Mysterium, my guide, My ethereal stone-end-time. Prophecies of apocalypse, Us professors of doom. The armour will fail as The sky perfects to ash. To you I am, here. Dead on survival. You got a hell you need Mastering, follow me.

The (Re)Adventures of Marzel Amell
Sooooooo ok I ended up binge playing DA:O for the last two weeks. And it might as well have been a blind playthrough because I forgot almost everything ^_^;; Below are Carrinth's Random Observations or Things That Have Happened to Marzel (Redux):
DA armor is still ugly as sin. I'm sorry. Robes 4 lyfe.
Man I tell you, a single Heal spell makes ALL the difference. Especially early on when you don't have money or potions or skillz. Dying less apparently makes game moar fun! SHOCKING.
I have recruited Sten.
I have also recruited Shale for the first time. I love Shale. Shale is best rock. Squish me. (Not really pls don't Shale) DLC ftw!
Sten really, really, REALLY likes my warden this time wtf. His affection is the HIGHEST of everyone, second only to dog. I have no idea how that happened. O_O I just RP-ed Marzel as being very indifferent to Sten. "I'm not here to impress you, bruh." Sten is a tsundere confirmed.
I did the FADE quest. Again. I told myself it wasn't as bad this round and that I'm fine but obviously I'm not fine but you just have to hold it in and my bags are full of junk and I need to sell them bcos I needs the money but I can't leave pls pls let me out LET ME OUT!2111
Wynne talking about what makes an abomination made me have Anders/Justice feels. "If one retains one's humanity, one is not an abomination." 😥
Still bff with Jowan. We bros for life. Alistair didn't like that.
"Teagan! Who iZ dis mAN?" Idk but the second round I really enjoyed her voice-acting. She's a distraught mother close to hysterics. It's amazingly hilarious and compelling! <3
Wait. Wait. I totally forgot about Connor. So wait. We CAN CURE demonic possession??? I thought it was permanent?! No way of saving but death via a pokey sword yadda yadda?? Omg is this one of those 'we could cure you but it's too expensive and you can't afford it' scenarios? IT IS. Poor farmer's kid can't afford a pile of lyrium but if you're the son of an arl? No problem! Whole Circle bending over just to help you. Wow. Goddamn. Chantry/Circle seriously just kill mages because it's the cheaper alternative! >:O
MMmmmm. People say I should save Orzammar for last because it is harder. But. Oghren. But. Difficult. But OGHREN. But BROODMOTHER. DO YOU NOT REMEMBER THE SUFFERING OF DEEP ROADS?! .......... OGHREN. Marzel and friends died a lot. Mostly because I stubbornly wanted my party to consist of Oghren and Shale. That's like, two warriors ugh. We got by. Shale extra conversations were worth it ;)
Got Flemeth's grimoire for Morrigan. Formed a team made only of dude-bros to help Marzel get laid. Which meant they had to make do without any healing or bard song. I named them... the Snu Snu Squad (affectionate). Zevran died almost immediately. (Note: Dragon bum be dangerous position) Marzel stupidly killed his own self with blood magic while throwing his single Heal spell >_> MVP goes to Alistair for keeping alive long enough to whittle away Flemeth's health and died just exact moment Sten landed a killing blow. Grimoire was given and snu snu was had!
Marzel is in weird love triangle where all romancable persons love him. This cannot end well.
Why are there so many Desire demons? Holy crap, with the DLCs I have encountered no less than 4. Were there always this many?? Are Fereldans so horny?
People who challenge MAGES to duels deserve to die... from stupidity. I don't make the rules. You sir, have a pointy stick. Marzel can conjure blizzards and crushing barriers with his fingertips. We are not the same.
MANA CLASH IS OP.
Ok I just read codex that those Wild Sylvan trees are possessed by Rage demons?? Omg. They are Angry Trees. Low-key wanna see Justice fight Angry Trees while yelling about demons.
Haha I missed this game. Now onward to Sacred Ashes and moar stuff I can't remember!

Pgs. 271 - 308
There are some dark forces you just don't want to mess around with. You understand this better than most.
Tumblr media
I think it’s kinda funny how people will be all over the meta parts of Homestuck but act like it didn’t start until like halfway through the comic when you have the Exiles who literally make use of the medium of the comic’s command system in-universe.
Tumblr media
I gotta bring up this GameFAQ section, I haven’t been talking about it much because it’s mostly just Rose in her prosey words describing what’s been going on, but here we have uh
a choice of words???
Removing the lid signals the moment your life becomes a great whirling batshit pandemonium, somewhat resembling the chaos of an especially ethnic wedding. Somewhere, a soused uncle deliberately shatters china on the floor. Muddy livestock is decorated, and then lost track of. The question "Who's mule is this?" at times can be heard over the din. This is now your reality.
I just... what???? huh???? excuse me????? Rose???? Hussie???? what did you mean by this???? what the fuck are you talking about??? bro????
Tumblr media Tumblr media
things are looking FUCKED.
Tumblr media
Homestuck except John’s sprite is the side-side-side-villain of the entire story.
Tumblr media
Homestuck except John’s sprite is a racist.

EB: no, i have to go! bye! TG: wait wait TG: armageddon's gettin waged on us TG: but im-a gettin armed and dangerous TG: sending men in space for savin us TG: see which playa's more couragerous TG: ben or bruce? dudes reach a truce TG: put their blowchutes to use and up-suck it TG: afflecks saclifice, i mean -crifice, would have to sufflice. aw fluck it TG: bro be a stained-glass saint, up on a cross gettin hella christ-plagiarous TG: bruce's like offa that cruciflix, nuff a this fuckin savior-fuss TG: restrained his ass per mclane-redux while buscemi remained derangerous TG: when a plan gone astray pays off a wasted craterous TG: ash tray caterin to layers of matt maconnaheys vague remainder-dust TG: wait TG: uh TG: macconahey wasnt even in any of those meteor movies was he TG: ill have to make a rap about TG: i dont know TG: morgan freeman or something TG: being the president TG: itll be called TG: "obama made it so that no one gives a shit about black presidents in movies anymore" TG: see youve got to fill me in on whats going on TG: so i have something to rap about besides all your dumbshit movies
I very much like the visual of Dave being completely alone without anyone to talk to and simply resorting to making up a shitty rap called "obama made it so that no one gives a shit about black presidents in movies anymore" which is such a CinemaSins-style film critic thing to say might I add.
I have to give partial credit to Homestuck for the inevitable modern day memeification of Barack Obama, it was ahead of its time.

SHOCK.

Tumblr media
and then Dave is still fucking going.
TG: when the film crew zooms where the presidents at TG: im like if that dudes black ill eat my hat TG: turns out he is, so we're all "damn, director's got gumption" TG: like we'll all flip our shit he aint shining shoes or somethin TG: its called freemancipation. if its not pres-election its god-ascension TG: in bruce almighty. whoops, different bruce from the one i just mentioned EB: aaaaaarrrgh! TG: cant explain to me why this aint condescension to think ill shit a brick TG: not even he can convey the intention with his quickspun wit TG: rather defray all this tension, sit on his lap while he whittles a splint TG: and some guy eyes what he does and patronizes: i guess negrocity's the mother of invention

Buffy is pouring cream in a huge cup of coffee. BUFFY: It's all Faith's fault. She's like poison. No worse, she's like acid that eats through everything. Buffy switches to pouring sugar. BUFFY: Maybe she's a bomb. Buffy stirs.
