What's your opinion on Miles'personal tastes (his lovely jeep , clothing etc.)
his gay little jeep! i love his gay little jeep. i know red barrels probably didn't intend for it but the jeep wrangler is such a gay icon it amuses me (partially due to queer as folk's one episode, but also... i guess just in general?). also why is his parking so shit. why did he leave his keys in there. i guess all of that is between him and god.
his hairspray is hilarious but also i will bully him for it. i think it's interesting that red barrels said in a tweet that he'd be self-conscious about his missing fingers, and in another message that he has fluffy hair. my conjecture is that he has fluffy hair he's self-conscious about for some reason, hence the heavy duty hairspray.
i love his jacket and i wish i could find a real life version of it. actually i kind of DID because a guy in a very similar jacket walked past me last week but i was too afraid to ask him where he got it. missed connections and opportunities, etc
what else do we know that he likes... i think it's cute this idiot (affectionate) gets drunk and goes on late night internet deep dives. same bestie. i also remember red barrels saying he'd get fussed over the difference between shit like 'carport' and 'garage' and that's also very cute. miles "words have meanings!" upshur.
HIS BUBBLE BATHS. that shit's adorable. man lives in clutter with red string link charts on the walls (from the comics) and takes self-care bubble baths every evening. if a woman wrote this dude in a fanfic people would call him unrealistic. we love him.
i could get into what i think his romantic tastes are but that wasn't the question, so.
Hi! I saw you did these and since I had already rebloged some of your posts I figured I might as well send in an ask ^^
I'm level four, (also you do not have to do the mood board if you don't have the energy I completely understand!) Fandoms: Harry Potter, Stranger things, and Twilight (if you don't do twilight for the ships then DC please!)
Basic info: I am an ENTP, Libra + Slytherin, my pronouns are He/She and I am bi with a preference for masculine people. I am 5'5, i have split dyed orange and black hair, and I tend to wear grunge or dark academia style clothes.
I am a semi-serious person who likes to hangout with people who get me to loosen up and have fun, and I am clingy around those I am close too! I am also pretty spiritual and I love going outside and connecting to nature around me,
My hobbies are drawing, singing songs while I write, reading, and playing games. I love drawing on anything and everything, if my friends allow I will draw all over there arms and hands, if there's a blank space on my schoolwork I will be sure to draw all over it,
I'm a cat person and have 5 cats that are the loves of my life, and I don't really like dogs all that much. I enjoy drinking tea and I dislike the taste of coffee, and I love strawberry or matcha flavored things. I am pretty into DnD and I love drawing my characters or my friends! I also love playing games like Fallout, Skyrim, Minecraft and Jack box, my friends and I used to do game nights all the time and its one of my favorite ways to spend time.
I love all kinds of music, but my favorites have to be indie music, rock from the 60-90's, and specifically Mistki (her music hits hard) But yeah! That's basically me ^^
Want to be shipped? Here be the instructions ๐ฆ
Hello! You actually sound like an awesome person, I too can be serious at times and love being around others that lighten me up ๐ทyou wouldnโt be the eldest sibling of the family, would you?

I ship you with Fred Weasley! Like with all your ships, Iโve chosen people who would put a smile on your face. These people make problems seem meaningless. So I chose Fred for you because he would get you out of your shell
๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
ใปI think that Fred would do pranks on you, and which ever mood you were in, you either prank him back - or you would curse him out
ใปYou and Ginny are really good friends. She loves having another girl in the family. And she helps giving revenge to Fred
ใปDoesnโt matter that youโre in Slytherin either. You would probably have a rivals to lovers type relationshipย
ใปHe would take you on so many adventures - around the castle, in Hogsmeaded, at the Burrow etc
ใปAlways having each otherโs backs; he would defend you no matter what

I ship you with Eddie Munson! I think he would be such a good match for you. The way that Joseph Quinn gave Eddie such complexity. Heโs not just an enigmatic metal head that only cares for his reputation. No, not in the slightest. Heโs sweet, he cares. He knows what itโs like to be alone, to not have anyone to turn to. So thatโs what he wants for you - to have someone to talk to, to be with.ย
๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
ใปKnowing your body language and what you need by it. Sometimes you want cheering up, or you want to be left alone but not by yourself. Sometimes you just want him to be near.
ใปDoesnโt have trouble showing affection AT ALL, and loves randomly kissing you - oh and licking you. And biting you...kinda like a cat does.
ใปHe may not have a lot of money, but he always takes you on adventures. But lets be honest, any time spent with Eddie is a good time.ย
ใปYouโre apart of Hellfire club, and he would always hide what heโs creating for the campagins.ย
ย ย โY/N, stop looking! Youโre forbidden!โย
ใปYou two would be such an awesome couple - Dustin would be in awe of you guys. He wishes to have a relationship like that one day

I ship you with Alice Cullen! I was going to ship you with Emmett, but he seems to lack emotional depth. Aliceโs airy personality makes you feel like life has more meaning - she gives you hope.ย
๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
ใปShe knew you were soulmates long before you two met.ย
ใปShe likes reading you to sleep; Shakespeare is great because you fall asleep VERY quickly.ย
ใปAbsolutely adores picking out matching outfits for the two of you
ใปYour wedding would be nothing short of SPECTACULAR. Expect glamour, glitz, oh but everything would be perfect. Alice has perfected style, and she always makes sure youโre in trend.ย
ใปHer showing you everything the world has to offer. Your life would be transformed - it would be full and you would never know sadness again.
Okay, so I can just see you absolutely throwing caution to the wind and becoming the most unhinged, chaotic version of yourself. Harley would adore you - everything about you. And although this newfound freedom from your usual stoic and reserved personality, youโre still much more grounded than she is. And that would be such a positive for her.ย
๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
ใปAbsolutely being a power couple that the people of Gotham are intimidated by.ย
ใปNo one f*cking with either of you because they know the consequences would be too dire
ใปExcitement and spontaneity always being the themes of your relationship.
ใปDying each otherโs hair (and probably matching without realising it)
ใปCausing absolute mayhem that Batman always has to clean up. You guys literally love malarky and although you can be hesitant at times, Harley encourages you to let loose
You guys probably foresaw this one being pretty full and you were right. Potential bingo here because seeing/writing him with a foil (usually Samus) is much more fun than him existing in a vacuum, but idk if that really counts as a "dynamic" bc there's comparatively little direct interaction in canon. In fairness, most of what I like about Adam is my own extended headcanons. I like my morally-grey Adam but that's purely hc/speculative, in actual factual canon the man has never done anything wrong in his life.
god i wish i wouldn't have to explain the intricacies of the neopets economy to you guys to give the full context for this but. the new neopets team that took over from jumpstart pledged that they were going to curb the inflation of rare items, which is great because a lot of rare items are worth literally hundreds of millions of neopoints, they are unbuyable unless you've been playing actively for 20 years. they did this earlier with a site festival that included random loot boxes, some of which had Unbelievably Fucking Rare And Precious items worth 200 million neopoints apiece.
well.
today they have gone a step further. by releasing this year's trick-or-treat bags. and having the trick-or-treat bags be stuffed to the brim with unbelievably fucking rare stamps, weapons, paint brushes, defense magic, and other unbuyables. (all prohibitively expensive and in-high-demand types of items.)
jellyneo, the premier neopets website, has recorded prices of some items plummeting from 2,000,000 neopoints to 4,000 neopoints IN THE LAST THREE HOURS. this is when most people haven't even heard about the event or OPENED THEIR BAGS YET.
and of course. cherry on top. 20-year-old account holders are crytyping on the site events neoboard about how mean and cruel it is to make rare stamps part of the prize pool, because their entire identity hinges on being part of the neopian bourgeoisie, and they are having MELTDOWNS over their assets being devalued until they're part of the lowly proletariat.
if you're interested, what do you think would be miles upshur's opinion of waylon if they ever met, or if he knew waylon was the one who sent the email that brought miles to mount massive? do you think there would be hostility or would they be chill?
(disclaimer: i'm not a camerashipper in any capacity, though i do draw and write it for my friends. also i do believe there's a passing reference of miles and waylon getting in touch in the comics after the events of mount massive, so i'm going to talk about them possibly meeting at mount massive itself instead)
that's another thing i don't really get about the fandom though -- the hostility bit. i know a lot of people think miles is going to be pissed at waylon because waylon got him into the whole mess, but that feels like a reductive reading of miles' character, too -- he chose to go into the asylum, and i'm sure he's aware that the risk was on his own terms. it would have been a wholly different thing if waylon had invited him with zero information. he'd probably be pissed that waylon didn't tell him it was this bad, but... it wasn't that bad when waylon sent him the email. billy hope hadn't laterally ascended yet, the walrider wasn't on the loose. so if waylon does get to explain that, and what whistleblowing cost him, i don't think miles would begrudge him for it too much.
there's a wholly different problem though. i feel like miles is the kind of person who prefers to work alone because he doesn't find others invested enough in his cause, especially after being fired. he'd love allies, but i think he can also be a little hypercritical on that front. but in a way, waylon has already passed that vibe check. emailing miles came at a great price to him too; almost losing his life, his mind, and quite possibly his, uh, family jewels, and other things besides. he's been beat up and broken too, and he did it for the same thing miles broke into this place for, for what miles has wanted for years.
my opinion is. with all the trauma, pain-induced endorphins, and sheer terror singing through miles' blood when he meets waylon, a man finally dedicated enough to risk everything to bring murkoff's empire down, there's gonna be some cracks in miles' sense of self, in what he's built over the years because what is he if not devout to the cause.
my opinion is, miles is gonna kinda be like. oh shit.
this dude's hot.
woke up and someone spilled vanilla extract all over my dash, so as punishment you strange little beasties are getting all the VANILLA FACTS i know:
vanilla is the 2nd most expensive spice in the world (2nd to saffron)
which is why more than 99% of what we call "vanilla extract" is actually vanillin (vanilla's dominant flavor compound) and is not extracted from real vanilla.
luckily, even professionals struggle to tell the difference when it comes to things like baked goods. but there is a distinct difference in non-heat treated products like vanilla ice cream. real vanilla has a more complex, individualized flavor profile.
why is vanilla so expensive? because it is a ridiculously delicate & demanding crop. complete primadonna.
vanilla beans come from vanilla orchids. these crazy flowers bloom for A SINGLE DAY and have to be HAND-POLLINATED in a process that is exhausting, delicate, and requires specialist knowledge passed down over generations.
then, if you're lucky, you get vanilla beans.
which then require months of further specialized treatment.
the entire process takes about a year and can go wrong at any stage
vanilla has been cultivated for over 800 years (possibly much longer). the first known cultivators are the Totonac, an indigenous people of Mexico.
the Aztecs used it as a sweetener to balance out the bitter taste of cocoa. it was popular in a drink called xocolatl--the precursor to modern hot chocolate!
it is only pollinated by a very specific orchid bee!!!
which is why no fruit could be grown outside of Mexico until the 1800s
Edmond Albius, born into slavery, invented the pollination method we still use today--launching a global industry when he was just 12 years old.
today, the majority of the world's vanilla is grown in Madagascar
if you want real vanilla, read the labels carefully--it's harder to find than you think!
in conclusion, those tiny black specks you see in fancy vanilla ice cream? those are vanilla bean seeds! itty bitty orchid seeds!!! they are delicious and also a PRISSY BITCH!
Thank you for doing ships! I've always wanted to have one done for me, so I'm truly greatful for the opportunity.
Level: Four (if you have the time and energy to do three ships that would be fantastic, but if not don't worry about it)
Basic things: I'm 5'1. I use she/they pronouns. I'm bisexual. I'm a capricorn sun, pisces moon, and cancer rising. Last but not least I am an INTP. Last minute addition I am Ravenclaw.
My three randoms are: Peaky Blinders, Stranger Things, and The Umbrella Academy.
In depth info:
I can be described as independent, stubborn, intelligent, eccentric, and coldโhearted (as I have been given the nickname Ice Queen).
I get anxious and stressed pretty easily but I hide it well and try to move on if it's not too severe. I am very family oriented even if they get on my nerves. I find it very funny because I am one of my parents youngest kids, but have lived as the oldest in the house, and I'm the middle child of the youngest three. Essentially I have oldest, middle, and youngest child vibes.
I mimic others easily especially if I'm around them for a while. I have a fantastic sense of humor and am in love with puns and dad jokes.
My taste in everything is very all over the place. I like all music and will watch or read almost anything you put in front of me. I love to sing, read, play piano, learn, watch crime shows, and write.
I tend to be very quiet until I have known the people I'm around for a bit then I don't know when to stop.
I love animals and most often get along well with them. Pitbulls are my favorite dog breed and I will absolutely die on that hill.
I dress how I want when I want. For example one day I'll be in a very pretty dress and look fabulous then the next I'll be a disco girl and after that I'll look like the handsomest little guy there is.
I have a very keen sense for observation and try to be three steps ahead. I love to be prepared as it makes me nervous when I am not. I tend to predict how things will turn out and am very good at sniffing out who likes who (including myself).
I did a bit of a ramble, but I know the more information the better. So I really appreciate you reading my ramble and all. Thank you!
Want to be shipped? Here be the instructions ๐ฆ
Hello, my darling! You sound like such a lovely person <3
What each ship has in common:
โ Headstrong
โ Independent
โ Notableย
โย โMan in chargeโ
โ Admirable
I ship you with Thomas Shelby. I think he would connect with your traits such as your keen observational sense, intelligence and the fact that your nicknamed the Ice Queen. By this I mean he isnโt one to show emotions, and I think he would go well with someone who can overcome their stress/anxiety to focus on the task at hand!
๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
ใปI think you would meet because he needed something (from your family shop, the place you work etc.)ย
ใปHe has a keen observation as well, and is able to sniff out people who have useful aspects. I definitely think he would see this in you, and therefore want your intelligence and knowledge to help with the business
ใปSitting at his desk when he gets back late, you doing some of the paperwork. Heโll just lean against the doorway, light up a cigarette and smirk at you
ใปCalling each other by your last names
ใปHaving the respect of his brothers
ใปGetting to know Polly and actually really liking each other
ใปHaving insightful discussions with Ada about politics, literaure and just ... life
ใปHe would always make sure youโre safe. Once you have the Shelby name than you will be protected even by title. No one would fck with you. Like ever.ย
Your ability to see more than others around you do. Youโre able to acclimatize into groups and situations, which he finds impressive. Also, the fact that you like to be prepared. He doesnโt like spontaneity, or rather, he doesnโt appreciate it.ย
I think Ada would be your best friend. She would love having you in the family, more girls to outweigh the guys. She loves your intelligence and likes to pick your brain. You would have such great conversation!
I SHIP YOU WITH EDDIE MCBEAUTIFULFACE MUNSON <3 <3 <3 THE MAN OF EVERYONEโS DREAMS. THE METAL HEAD THAT CHANGED A UNIV- okay sorry Iโm going too far. But honestly this man right here, this one, yeah heโs amazing. Enthusiastic, charming, kind-hearted!!!!!!!! His heart <3 is SO SOFT, He loves loves loves to make people feel comfortable. Literally you would suit each other so well!
๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
ใปBRAIDING HIS HAIR, if you donโt know how to braid then just playing with it. He will literally moan at how nice your fingers feel on his scalp.ย
ใปHe would follow you around like a lost puppy unless heโs focusing on DnD, then his whole concentration would be on that. I think he would love your input too
ใปSinging along to both of your favourite songs, like full air guitar, jumping around, making so much noise!!!! It would be such a blast!!!!
ใปDustin would absolutely love you, anyone that Eddie adores, Dustin would too
ใปSitting in between in his legs reading while he watches a movie or reading to him. He would absolutely adore your voice
ใปKissing each otherโs knuckles
ใปHaving so many inside jokes
ใปUncle Wayne thinks youโre such a good influence on Eddie and he has hope for his nephewโs futureย
Your smile. Your brain. He just loves the way you work. He finds you so interesting. Like heโs so stumped that someone like you would ever want someone like him. I definitely think Eddie is a tad insecure and hides it with his loud personality.
I think you would have such a fun time having Robin as your best friend. I was going to say Nancy, but I think with friendships, you deserve someone who is out of the box, who has great enthusiasm and can make you feel at ease.ย
I ship you with Diego! I think he would absolutely suit you so fricken well. You would bond over being so hypervigilant and feel at ease around each other. Thereโs a hidden piece that Diego realises you fill inside of him.ย
๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
ใปYou guys would definitely start off as enemies. Like even if youโre just an ordinary person working at a cash register, he would come in and be likeย โoh ... itโs you...โย
ย ย And youโd just roll your eyes.ย
ใปIt would evolve because somehow he either needed your help or you were thrown into some sort of apocopyptic catastrophe and needed to be rescued. And Diego came as your knight in shining armour.ย
ใปI can see there being such witty banter, like the sarcastic comments never stop once you get together
ใปLearning about Diegoโs past and feeling really upset about it. You hate it when people having a horrible upbringing and to see someone who is still carrying that weight of that ... it breaks your heart
ใปHe would be such a good cuddler - like imagine him wrapping his arms around you, holding you tight against your chest
ใปSO PROTECTIVE, YOU ARE HIS BABY AND HE WILL DIE FOR YOU.
ใปHand holding <3 he doesnโt want to at first and tries to deny all the lovey dovey stuff but you donโt take it personally. But he is just teasing and as soon as you start to walk away, heโll grab you and pull you back
That youโre stable within his life. He didnโt grow up with love, he didnโt grow up with a proper family. There was so much consistency around traumatic behaviour from his father that having a loving partner, who is stable - is such a change. Diego absolutely loves that he can count on you.ย
I honestly think you and Viktor would get along so well. He would understand your sensitive side (especially that pisces moon and cancer rising!!!) I can definitely see Viktor having pisces and/or cancer in their big 3.ย
You would bring a lot of love to the Hargreeves family as a whole. And they all cherish your friendship!
Egypt participates in this siege!
