“It’s weird, I feel like I can’t absorb compliments. I don’t know how to respond to them. I get so… surprised and awkward. Like, today Mr. Stark thought I was a genius for figuring out the bug in his suit so quickly. Tony Stark thought I was a genius. Like? Bananas.”

No one else is listening to this. Just Peter’s phone. And he isn’t sending any voicemail to anyone. He wouldn’t want Happy to listen to this, because then he would tell Tony.

“I just don’t get it. Why would Mr. Stark be proud of me? He thought my homemade suit was stupid. I still keep it, of course, but I look at it and I feel… I dunno. I-It’s not like I hate my current suit, I love it! I love that my… thing is still there, y’know. It’s Spider-Man! And I like that I can rely on Mr. Stark whenever I’m in trouble. It’s just… He’s the genius, not me. Why does he want me around? Why does he think I’m so… great? When I’m not? I’m barely holding it together and it’s like he has no idea. And I guess that’s a good thing? But what if I screw up again and he gets mad? What if he gives up on me again?”

Peter goes silent for a couple minutes, pondering his bedroom.

“I want him to be proud, but…” He sighs. “Maybe I don’t deserve it."

#smth that i also wrote that kind of got out of hand lmao #i'm the kind of person who records my own ramblings #so to me peter does the same thing #lotus speaks #irondad #fics #my fics #drabble

brain is exploding, tumblr box taKE MY THOUGHTS-

Long Shadows LMK au-

Basically, when Wukong got dragged to the Celestial Realm to be executed? Yeah, Macaque- mostly referred to as Liu'er or "Liu"- got dragged with him.

The Celestial Court tried to execute Wukong in many, many ways. They failed.

Liu, however, was not seven times over immortal. They... "succeeded."

Wukong was forced to watch as his best friend was executed right before he was stuffed into the furnace. Due to his weeping eyes as the king had been crying over the body of his friend, the resulting steam inflicted far more damage than in the original story we know.

In fact, instead of gaining his true sight, Wukong was terribly blinded.

Not that that stopped him from going on a rampage through the Celestial Realm, or inevitably being stuffed under a mountain. (Wukong could not see to escape Buddha's hand, and ended up crashing into his fingers.)

So, blinded and grieving, there Wukong laid.

...and then he slowly thought himself becoming mad, as with each passing day he could hear his best friend's voice in more and more clarity.

However, he was not going mad. For you see, Liu, in an act of sheer desperation, stuffed the entirety of himself within his core to survive the murder of his physical body. He became an actual living shadow of himself, and it took some time before he had enough strength to actually speak or interact with things outside himself.

Eventually strong enough to remove the seal keeping the mountain in place, Liu freed Wukong. (Which was the moment Wukong knew he was actually real and not some figment of his grieving mind.)

Together, one a literal shadow of himself and the other a blinded, broken king, they made the very, very long journey home to Flower Fruit Mountain.

Which is where they stayed to heal and recover and just live, until a certain Mercy Goddess came knocking to request Wukong's aid in helping a certain monk. She promised that if he completed this task, she would leave him be.

Reluctant, Wukong agreed. Liu, naturally, tagged along without anyone but Wukong aware of him.

As they travelled, Wukong became rather attached to the group despite his efforts to NOT become attached. Liu had no such problems, and in fact somewhat came to resent them due to how they would treat Wukong.

Due to being blind, Wukong could not make eye contact nor could he read. However, way back when Wukong had initially become blind, Liu and he had crafted a glamor as to lower the chances of getting attacked on the way home. (It also gave Wukong a little bit of a sense of control after having his sight ripped from him. After awhile he kept it more for Liu's own peace of mind so enemies wouldn't target his lack of sight.)

So, unaware of his blindness, there were a lot of not so kind jabs to the lack of eye contact and just generally avoiding reading and the such. (When forced to "read" or "look" at something, Liu would just whisper what it said to him or otherwise describe it for him just as he does to help guide Wukong so it's not very obvious that he's blind. If he needed to write, Wukong would carefully hold the writing utensil in a way that it shadowed so Liu could write for him. No one knows what Wukong's own handwriting looked like- or if they did it's been several hundred years or more now- and so no one ever questioned Liu's own distinct handwriting.)

After Wukong (and Liu, bc Liu functions as Wukong's eyes and is just a great help all around) had saved the group from a certain little girl-who-was-NOT-in-fact-a-little girl, and was ripped into for it, Liu decided he was done. This had gone on long enough, and he was tired of tolerating it. Of watching Wukong tolerate it.

This, of course, eventually devolved into an argument between them. A big one. One that resulted in them separating for the first time since the whole Celestial Realm Incident(tm).

A terrible idea, really.

The "little girl" wasn't so defeated after all, and Liu found himself being hunted without Wukong to give him a boost of energy.

Meanwhile, Wukong himself found himself without any sense of vision at all. His staff subtly functioned as a walking stick, and sure he'd trained blindfolded before-

But being entirely without someone else who could describe the things around him was a different kinda animal from being simply blindfolded.

Then, of course, the group gets attacked. Because they get attacked literally every other day to daily.

Long story short, neither Wukong nor Liu fare well and end up crashing back into each other. They quickly agree to sort things out later and once again become an unstoppable team and defeat the ones attacking them.

One, however, gets away to lick her wounds and attack them again later. (You all can probably guess who.)

After that entire fiasco, the monkies swear to never separate again and, while they are both unhappy about each other's opinions on the group, they put aside their differences and continue to travel with said group.

Timeskip to present day, there are very, very few people who know about Liu. But they've all heard the tales of how Heaven's Equal's shadow dances and doesn't always mimic it's source, and how the darkness thickens around the sage like a living thing, and how the king seems to talk to himself at the most oddest of random times. How the Monkey King never looks someone in the eye, and oh, how the myths and fables run wild with that, spinning false truths of all the things that could happen if he DID for none know the truth.

Sun Wukong is blind.

So begins the Lego Monkie Kid show. Let's see how it goes, shall we? :]

If you received this ask you have permission to ramble about your ocs without bothering anyone. Headcanons, lore, design details etc. Give them to me.

My guy you don't even know what you just did. The fact this was sent to my main blog instead of my art blog is Telling

Mana (left) and Kappi (right)

Kappi is a stone crab inspired by Tambanokano, a giant crab born of the sun and moon from Mandaya folklore. She took on the traits of both her father and mother, and her father, the sun, detests this as he is quarrelsome and toxic, and spent many of her formative years under the sea, only coming out to visit her mother in the Moon Temple.

Mana is, unsurprisingly, a manananggal. She was very much a Normal Lady but was turned into an aswang against her will and has very blurry memories of her life prior. She had stumbled into the Moon City and was made into a god in their eyes, offering blessings and threats, replacing the moon god who had long since disappeared and no one knows where said god went. In return for blessings, they offer their offspring.

When Kappi came out of the sea to see her mother again, she sees how the city has changed and that her mother has disappeared. Only knowing how someone replaced her, she plans to kill whoever's in charge (mana) assuming they did something (she didn't)

After coming to the conclusion there was a misunderstanding, Mana decided to help Kappi go to the Solar Mountain where the sun resides because. if it wasn't this random aswang who did it. it was probably him.

Kappi's design is generally inspired by both ilokano and minandowen elements, her name coming from the word kappi, a freshwater crab. Her chest tattoos depict a temple under a night sky and a crab residing under it, and the obvious crab details like the legs around her torso and her claw pigtails. There's also the sun and moon details on her face, in reference to her ancestry.

The patterns on her clothes include a kappi symbol and a starry sky.

Mana's design is just kind of Sexy Demon Vibes, just. the filipino version. She has a black chick named pip as per aswang rules and lacks tattoos to suggest she's from the Southern Luzon area, but her manananggal nature may imply she's been elsewhere. I feel like her appearance also suggests a false queen energy, since she resembles a concubine but is somewhat adorned as nobility which. that's exactly what she is. Also the waist beads in the first picture serve the purpose of keeping her top and bottom connected because she has mild disabled vibes and her body just falls apart sometimes.

As for how I came up with these characters

I had a dream where I saw some Art of Sexy Demon Lady and Cute Pink Haired Girl doing nsfw and accidentally sent it to my family and I wanted to die, so naturally I had to make ocs from that.

HI I’M CELEBI AND THIS IS MY BLOG! PAY ATTENTION TO ME! AND PELIPPER MAIL ME SNACKS PLEASE!

-⏳

um, hi. my name is lotus harmonia. but you can just call me lottie. i’m celebi’s… chosen, or whatever. i mostly made this account to keep this stupid fairy thing from getting bored but i guess i’ll document my journey here. or my brother will because he enjoys that kind of thing more than me.

-🪷

Hi everyone! I’m Royce Harmonia, aspiring photographer and huge Bug-Type enthusiast! Me and my sister are from a small region called Laeros. Oh, and our Celebi buddy is a Laerosan Celebi, so if you’re wondering why it looks different, that’s why!

I’m fifteen, and Lottie is thirteen. If you’re wondering what a couple of kids are doing running around by themselves then, uh- well, long story short, we’re time travelers! We jump from timeline to timeline with Celebi’s powers, where we explore and document each new version of our world we discover. Don’t worry- we’re super careful not to mess anything up! We can even visit your timeline and hang out, if you’d like!

We each sign off with our own respective emotes. Lotus’ is, well, a lotus, mine is a crown, and Celebi’s is an hourglass. But we all kinda have our distinct typing styles so it’s pretty easy to distinguish who’s who! But just in case we’ll add in the tags whoever’s speaking.

Anyways, that’s all you really gotta know about us! Can’t wait to start sharing our adventures here!!

-👑

(( OOC UNDER CUT ))

(( some of you might recognize these two, and if you don’t basically they’re N and Blake’s future kids! you can view their parents’ blogs here: @pinkhairandpokemon @thunderblessedhero

I like and follow from @flightmare-kid!

Rules:

-ABSOLUTELY NO NSFW. Both characters are minors.

-Pelipper Mail is on!

-Pelliper MALICE is on!

-Any other variant of Pelipper Mail is on too! Like “Musharna Mail” and stuff like that.

-IN CHARACTER hate anons are permitted.

-Magic anons are on, but if it’s something I don’t feel like doing I’ll postpone answering it or just ignore/delete it.

For some reason I can’t link the picrew I used to make the kids’ photos so I’ll try again later hhh ;-; ))

Hi! I was wondering if you’d consider making some posts about Sunset Shimmer’s Time to Shine like how you did with some of the other Equestria Girls books? I find your analyses insightful and am curious what you’ll think of it ^^

I thought that I did but maybe I didn't do as many or didn't tag them properly? Cause when I read these books and commentary/analyze, I usually tell it to a mutual first and then make a Tumblr post so the probability of me not remembering is high (also, they're not quite in chronological order because it's based on when my library tells me I have a book hold ready and I read whatever they give me)

I'll find if I did make any posts talking about Sunset Shimmer's Time To Shine and edit them into this ask, and go through my messages if there's anything interesting I can post

Also, I feel very warm and fuzzy knowing someone likes these posts 🥺😍😍
