#but it's...deeper somehow
Text
Does anyone else have a favorite character that's become something completely separate from their source material to you? Not like they're divergent from canon necessarily. They are just, to you, not what they are to everyone else.
#did this make any sense#my fave has been in my life for 10+ years so there's that#but it's...deeper somehow#I feel like this is something I can only explain through drawing#but even then perhaps only I can see it in my own art#I better stfu cause I sound so fucking high rn lmaooo#text files#fictional character#fictional characters#f/o#fictional others#f/ovember

Cave boy Danny starts talking about one of the debates Tucker and Sam without mentioning their names when asked who the two are,Danny panics again and says that Sam is Selina since that's not that big of a jump when he starts saying her name
"One of my best friends would agree with you." Brucie suddenly speaks up one night at Dinner when Damian rants about his school not offering enough Vegetarian options. "She is an ultra-recyclo-vegetarian."
Bruce blinks having never heard the term before. A quick glance around the table tells him that neither have the others. Must be slang from his universe then. "What does that mean?"
"She doesn't eat anything with a face," Brucie explains. The curve of his lips has the tiniest amount of bestowed fondness that could only come from infatuation. Oh, Brucie is sweet on the girl. Bruce feels mildly alarmed as all his kids and Alfred sits up in interest when spotting it.
Unaware of what he just unwillingly gave away Brucie continues "Not to be confused with being a vegan because she will eat bread and cheese, but not often. She gets real mad when people mislabel her."
Dick grins, leaning over his forgotten dinner to pin Brucie under an eager stare. "I bet. Mislabeling is the worst."
"It is!" Brucie agrees, seemingly satisfied that someone else feels the same. "Especially when getting her to like you is like trying to get a cat's approval. But it's totes worth it when you do. No one has your back better than her."
A....cat's loyalty? Oh no. Surely it couldn't be-?
"What's your best friend's name?" Steph speaks up asking what's on everyone's mind. They all lean in a little closer as Brucie mindlessly gathers some rice on his fork.
"Her name is Sa-" Brucie takes a bite of his rice before swallowing. It takes everything in him not to quote Alfred and scold him for speaking with his mouth full. How Brucie grew up with such manners, Bruce would never know. "Selina! Her name is Selina."
Oh.
It seemed even in another world Bruce's heart would fall into Selina Kyle's hands.
His kids all but burst into cheers. Even Jason, and that was very hard to accomplish in the last few years.
"I knew it! I knew it!"
"Of course, it's Selina! Who else could it have been?"
"I suppose Kyle is not too horrid a partner for Father."
Duke and Cass high-five while Alfred seems to be glowing in parental pride as the other kids chat about his on-and-off girlfriend again. If a civilian version of himself still fell for her, Bruce could convince his Selina to quit the crime life and be his permanently.
Brucie stares a comprehensive eye around the table, so Bruce takes pity on him.
"I have a Selina as well. My kids....enjoy her company." He says, watching blue eyes swing at him as tiny black bangs fall slightly over them. It's adorable, and he finally understands why he had so many admirers. He bets civilian Brucie breaks just as many, if not more, hearts than he did at that age. "How long have you known Selina for?"
"Um...since she moved to my school when we were ten, so about four years, give or take?" Brucie shrugs, a slight blush overtaking his face. "She's great."
Oh, Bruce bet she is.
"Wait." Tim suddenly speaks up, eyes narrow in mistrust. Bruce had noticed before that the second youngest was suspicious of their dimensional visitor. He had been meaning to pull him aside to talk about it. "You said one of your best friends. Who is the other?"
"...Ethan. My other best friend is Ethan," Brucie says after a moment. He must mean Ethan Bennett. Bruce thinks wistfully of the old days when he would play basketball with his dear friend before he was lost in Clayface.
But why did Brucie pause on Ethan's name like that? It almost seemed like he was very carefully selecting that name or was trying to control his facial reaction to it.
A familiar blush bloomed over Brucie's checks and- oh. The boy had spoken about wishing he was from a world where bisexuality was more common, didn't he?
It would make sense. It's not like Ethan hadn't crossed his mind once or twice when Bruce was a teenager, either.
Tim's eyes narrow further. "I don't believe you."
"And I believe you can't stand the sight of your reflection because you're convinced no one will ever want it either." Brucie cheerfully chirps back before closing his eyes and sighing as if tired. He slumps in his chair, leaning his head against the headrest. "Sorry, that was mean. I'm trying to be less mean."
Bruce frowns at him, aware of Tim's eyes going glossy to his right but his son doesn't seem to want to step away. All conversation stops as they glare daggers at Brucie. Dick especially seems the most upset. "That was uncool Brucie"
"Yeah, sorry force of habit. My older sister and I-"
"Your what?" Bruce cuts him off, wondering if he heard right.
"My older sister?"
"You have a sister?"
"Yeah, don't you?"
"No," Bruce whispers. "No, I don't. I'm an only child."
"Oh. I'm the second youngest. I have an older sister, an older brother, and a younger sister." Brucie turns over to Tim to offer a sincere apology that the other gracious takes, but Bruce can't hear him over the sound of blood rushing between his ears.
"Mother and Father had more children?"
"Kind of." Brucie's face twists slightly in consideration. "Tommy and Harley are adopted. They are technically cousins since they were made by my uncle Vlad. Kate.....my older sister Kate, is my aunt Alicia's bio-kid but she was raised by my parents since she was one since Aunt Alicia wasn't...in the best mental state to care for her. No hard feelings are between them."
"Tommy, as in Tommy Elliot?!" Dick gasps, springing to his feet. "He is your adoptive older brother!?"
Brucie appears startled by his reaction, but he nods all the same. Bruce feels dread sink into his stomach.
"He's evil!" Dick shouts.
"I know." Brucie shrugs, uncaring. "Tommy has some issues, and he had them since he was...fourteen, but he's not dangerous.."
"Did you all miss that he said Harley is his younger sister? Harley as in Harleen Quinzel?" Jason cuts in, twisting to pin Brucie with a hard stare. "That's her real name, isn't it?"
"Well, her real name is Harleen Wayne, but she prefers Harley," Bruice says carefully. "Why? Do you know her?"
"She's evil too!" Dick gasps. "Brucie, you're in terrible danger with those two around!"
"Nah, Kate will stop them." Brucie waves his hand. "Sides Tommy and Harley are always traveling. Neither are home much these days."
Bruce feels a headache growing behind his eyes as Dick desperately tries to explain what happens to Brucie's adoptive siblings in their world. At the same time, his counterpart argues on his sibling's behalf.
(No one knows about the electric candles disappearing from the dinner table as the house descends into madness, trying to make the dimension travel realize his danger. Even fewer are aware of Danny's silent apology to Sam, Tucker, Jazz, Dan, or Dani for butchering their names and somehow still connecting them to someone in this world.)

the idea of playable zelda in itself is really cool, but then i think of how her 'type' of character typically gets animated/sounds/treated and i just shrivel up inside
the only way id accept if it was like fromsofts way of doing it, which is there is literally little to no difference no matter who you play as, but we all know nintendo would never lol
#ganondoodles talks#zelda#and if totk is anything to go by oh boi#what could it be#dress up game? stand beside link and look sad and pretty?#like im not against the concept at all#but like ... id rather have none than like -that-#the bar is 6 feet below the ground and i still think theyd somehow bury it deeper#i know sheik and whatever existed but it cant be just me that feels like zelda as a franchise has been regressing in terms of writing#especially with their newfound ultimate fantasy of “freedom”#and i just dont see them doing anything radical with her#even though she deserves it#...could you imagine how the average gamer bro of today would react if zelda wasnt a perfect uwu waifu?

Astarion x Halsin is such an easy ship in a way.
Astarion: gets drunk while feasting on a bear('s blood).
Halsin: Offers to feed Astarion (for whatever reason, hehe).
Astarion: Drinks Halsin's blood once and feels very giddy and joyful.
Halsin: Doesn't mind, feeds him again and again.
Astarion: Becomes addicted.
Halsin is literally a mix of rich elf blood that probably makes Astarion feel way fuller than when drinking animal's blood and a bear's blood because his natural druid/animal form is a bear. I mean, come on. They're meant for each other.
And sure, I mean it as romance & Halsin's reason is "I like you. By Gods, I like you so much."
But also, this is kinda funny in a platonic way? "Yeah, my friend here gets drunk on my blood, but I don't mind. No animals or nature are harmed in the process. Yeah, don't mind us if you see him biting me, it's all good."
(But then there's their shared trauma and you're like, Oh. But that's another topic.)
#astarion x halsin#astarion#halsin#bg3#halsin x astarion#baldur's gate 3#i'm finishing the first part of my fic#somehow i'm sure i'm gonna write a second one#the more time passes the deeper i am into the ship#halstarion

if they do senior year brennan should make the bad kids deal with freshmen. a pass-the-torch plus leave-this-place-better-than-we-found-it thing will be cute but more importantly making these specific weirdos babysit will be a hoot
#fhjy#not art#the ones in the team going to college will be staring at a fresh face like wow. I'M gonna be like that in a year#actually. bonus if a freshman party mistake them for plotting some deeper conspiracy and#follow them around being annoying. bonus if that does actually tie back to the main villain somehow#this season we got PC Party But Evil what if next one we get Party But Small And Annoying. thats all thank u#in my heart I believe we can pull off a baby peanut move. cmon team

i also have unaddressed therian feelings… sometimes i feel like a creature looking out from a human’s body yk
i get what u mean..!! im still trying to understand it too, but im happy to finally have a word that describes the feeling. i cant say for sure what will help u come to terms with your feelings, but i think its good to find people who will listen and take it seriously ^_^
#thank u for sharing your thoughts btw!! youre definitely not alone. a lot of things are starting to make sense for me now lol#i appreciate furry art and i think the community is fascinating but i dont see myself connected to it and i think this is probably why#i think.. there is definitely an overlap between therianthropy and the furry community and thats why they seem to go hand in hand#and im sure there are therians who also identify as furries. but the difference i think is somewhere in the approach#furries are more involved with costumes and characters but with therianthropy its like seeing an animal as part of you innately#like whenever i shake my foot i always somehow imagine it as a dog tail wagging.. and sometimes for a small moment my#mouth feels wider and full of sharp teeth when i yawn. its hard to describe but for me its like an out of body experience#i thought this just meant i have a doglike personality which. isnt wrong but well. i guess it runs a little deeper than that lol#this might also explain why ive been drawing the same dog creature for weeks and couldnt explain why#yapping#therian#art#doodles

update, Volo's quote for maxing out his level is "I can see a whole new world" and now I cannot stop imagining him singing that song, hair flowing majestically in the wind like princess jasmine
#pokemonmastersex#I love how they designed this unit to keep up the innocent act the entire time including all the quotes#and yet still make subtle nods to the deeper truths about him#when they release a second volo for this game it's gonna be very entertaining#hoping for sygna suit giratina of course#but a sygna suit arceus would be fascinating if he actually managed to sync with arceus...somehow#volo

rolling cookie dough I made a few days ago into balls so I can freeze them for later, and all I really want, what I want in my soul, is to conjure some human beings I can feed cookies to.
....my apartment has a severe shortage of people to feed cookies to.
#this week I have felt the lack of intimacy in my life very profoundly.#it turns out that getting more socialization and interacting with more people does not - as I had previously thought#simply exhaust you. if you keep interacting with people in the context of informal social gatherings#you build up an endurance and appetite for it! and then your stupid brain WANTS TO MEANINGFULLY CONNECT WITH THEM ON A DEEPER LEVEL#as though having chill acquaintances and coworkers is somehow not enough? as though you want to be Known???#what incredible bullshit is this????#celestial emporium of benevolent knowledge#tw food

In North Blue, they call it heartshine - two hearts meant for each other, lighting up when skin touches skin. Once upon a time, Law had wondered who the bearer of the heart with a perfect match to his own was.
His curiosity is left in the ashes of Flevance, shot alongside Cora-san and buried in the cold, snowy soil of Minion Island.
Until, at the ripe old age of 24, Law sits in an auction house and Monkey D. Luffy bursts through the wall like an avalanche.
#lawlu#one piece#monkey d. luffy#trafalgar law#one piece fanfiction#idk man i just fell back into this fandom headfirst#or more like i never left but somehow i'm also deeper than ever#2/3 chapters done so far#i never thought you'd see me writing fics again and here we are#my stuff

It tugs, sometimes. Curious and foolish.
That traitorous heart mana of his, reaching out, drawing in, seeking connection in the way that's in their blood, their soul, their nature. Synchronicity.
Rei's not known it, before.
Where other demons might be attuned to family, Rei has no one to claim the spot. So, his heart mana sings, unblemished, its lonely little sonata, the song of his homeland. All there is to him, granted by air and earth and starlight.
He has so much to give, and yet, it isn't good enough. Discordant, they say. Human, they snarl, disgust evident in their tones.
Thus, growing up Rei learns to compose himself. Pushes himself to the brink in order to rewrite his heartbeat's melody. Puts himself out there, gets stronger, richer in experience, whenever he draws back. Over and over and over again.
Until one day, pushing himself past reason, he almost doesn't return.
But while he hasn't been looking, a new melody has taken residence by his side. Soft and steady high notes, barely perceptible.
Morofushi Hiromitsu, faded, yet giving himself so generously.
Rei hears him, takes him in and amplifies the notes he's given, until others may do so, too. Until Hiro may do it himself.
Their hearts mana, separate but inseparable, resonating in response.
And Rei's called back home.
.
Rye is low notes, a deep bass, slow and steady.
He could enrich their harmony, if only he wasn't so gratingly offbeat.
Rye's unrefined and ever-contradicting himself. Cold and uncaring, yet bleeding red like the rest of them. A long-ranged combatant, always too close. The smartest fool Rei ever has had the displeasure of meeting.
He takes Rei's heart mana greedily, gives it back tenfold.
Then he takes Scotch's, and their tentative song, not yet given voice, dissolves into dissonant whispers.
.
When they meet again, Rei doesn't want to feel Akai's heart mana for the longest time.
It's too painfully familiar, echoes of the past still trapped reverberating within. Misery-in-resonance almost dusts Rei.
It's his duty to be here, and so he stays, but there's others to preoccupy himself with.
So, he remains a careful distance away from Akai. Doesn't see the muted melancholy wrapped around him until it's too late, until Akai's almost gone dark and quiet.
When he heals Akai, he pours all of his heart mana into him. Their hearts still sing the same tune, after all these years, discordant notes and all.
.
The journey is too perilous to allow them senseless grudges. Their lives are one. If either falls, the story ends.
They rely on each other's mana like air, sharing desperate breaths like drowning men in a land that wants to drag them under.
What even is left of their individual songs? It doesn't matter, anymore. They've shared so much it really is one and the same, disjointed notes smoothed out through time and touch and trial, into an elegy for Scotch.
.
As they finally reach tentative harmony, they rip themselves apart.
.
There is dissonance in Demon Lord Furuya’s heart. A furious ache that even Hiro's return can't soothe.
But he has a duty, to his land and his people. He can't stop to rest. Besides, the one to replenish his heart mana, he who's grown so good at it over the years, has left, exiled by Rei's own hand.
Akai is a fool, but so is Rei.
He clings to the thrum of Akai's low warm notes, barely an echo within himself.
.
Da capo al coda, the cyclical rhythm of life remains the same.
Rei's still not good enough.
He's bested their best. He's saved the realms. And all that matters, in the end, is that they see his heart mana, and find it lacking.
But he's no longer the lonely manaspawn he once was. His song no longer just his own.
He's holding the position through skill and strategy, through force of personality. With the help of friends and allies gathered on his journey.
They'll have to listen to his tune, this time.
.
The key, of course, is an argument.
Their feverish crescendo crashes into mellow adagio - along with their lips.
Rei knows, then: if no one else accepted him, the boundless love in Akai's heart would be enough to supply his heart mana for as long as he lives.
It's exhilarating, to share every last bit of himself, to accept all of Shuuichi in turn. Synchronized in full, for now and as long as they live.
Pulsating, between them, the potential to compose a new melody, together. Point and counterpoint. Bright and warm and vibrant and home.
.
When he takes Akai's hand, leads him to the dancefloor, the festive joy of friends and family soaking the ambient mana with joyous ringing, it's enough to put pressure even on Rei's heart mana.
He can't help thinking that this should've been so much easier. But theirs has never been the easy way.
And it's not the conclusion, but the overture to their new life, together.
The waltz of their future, a thunderous symphony.
.
@floofiestboy's Demon King Furuya AkAm AU is giving me too many feelings. Go read it here.
#and may the gods have mercy on anyone standing in their way#if they are lucky they get to pick whether they want to be shot or fried#so. uh. floof I hope this is okay. because I have feelings about this AU. mana and hearts and their interchangability#if you couldn't tell#this is what possessed me at 5 a.m. this morning and I want it out#floof you are insane for this AU#they have to take in mana to survive#they're always shaped by their surroundings#and when that's not enough they have to depend on their connections#altering the receiver through said connection. potentially permanently. see exhibit A(kai)#as the connection becomes deeper their mana. their hearts output. literally flows more efficiently#the heart wants what it wants. literally in this universe#floof. floof I am shaking. you. me. it doesn't matter at this point#akam#iris writes things#long post#somehow I went from mana wavelengths to soul frequencies. I think. whoops#fic recs

I've been obsessed with this idea since 2 years ago but never went ahead with it, so ❤️ this for a starter meant for a back-and-forth Q&A thread! (Specify muse/s too if you have a preference)
#* ooc. / posts.#I had this kind of thread exactly Once w Naotora and Naoe and it was SOOO much fun I haven't stopped thinking about it since#So here's the possibility for one for all of my muses <3 it'll basically be them having a convo meant to make them know each other better!#It could remain lighthearted all the while or it could take on a darker aspect (i.e talking about fears; backstory; traumas etc)#I just feel like so many of my muses have Great dynamics but don't actually know?? basic things like what their bestie's favorite color is#which is ridiculous and clearly I need to fix that somehow ADHSAJDSAKJ plus I love doing chill threads like these#they feel so natural? and I think it'll help my muses form much deeper/more realistic dynamics#We don't even need to worry about the setting either bc it could be at home. at a bar. at a park at night. It doesn't matter

Okay idk if this has been covered it’s a gen q/ pls point me to any analysis 💜
When Sara says this:
“Malin’s projecting everything onto Siv. Maybe that’s exactly why she’s in love with her, because she can be exactly the person that Malin wants her to be.”
Is this representative of her “relationship” with august? Or some reflection of how she sees things with august? Like the same way when Wilmon is sharing their perspective but its about them, when Sara is sharing her perspective is it kind of her interpreting it thru the lens of her experience? Ie. She is in love with august bc she can be who august wants her to be? Or is this some message about Wilmon? bc I don’t necessarily see how it relates to Wilmon, i think they both tend to take each other as they are, not project who they want the other person to be
#maybe im misunderstanding what sara said tho and somehow it is about wilmon?#is there something im missing#what does the quote mean in relation to any of them#or i guess maybe it doesnt have a deeper meaning#thoughts?!#wilmon#young royals#simon eriksson#sara eriksson#adding the poll to make it easier but feel free to reply in quotes or ask etc if u prefer
