Daniel for the 'send me a character' thing
Send me a character and I'll do the thing!
Sexuality Headcanon: He’s definitely on the bi side of the scale, but I think he skews a lot closer to gay and probably identifies more as gay, especially in the 70s in the circles that he and Armand traveled in. Although I don’t think Daniel has ever been particularly picky about labels applied to him in that sense, either.
Gender Headcanon: Daniel is the opposite of toxic masculinity. He can be masculine and he has body hair for days, but he’s generally soft-spoken and gentle. Cis, but not worried about being manly enough, you know? 
A ship I have with said character: Armand/Daniel is my OTP of all time. I think he and Armand are just two halves of a whole and they make each other better. I absolutely think they’re soulmates in the deepest sense of the word. There’s the joke that Daniel is sort of Armand-sexual but I think it’s sort of true. Armand is the love of his life and the feeling is mutual. 
And sometimes Daniel/Marius? Please don’t hurt me, but I go back and forth on whether I see him and Marius as romantic. The first time I read PL, it felt very platonic. Marius had spent a long time as Daniel’s caregiver and while they’re obviously close and connected, it didn’t read to me as anything romantic and the asexual in me longs for more platonic ships in this fandom. But I think the vampires can have a lot of intimacy without getting hot and heavy (this is true of humans too btw). I do think as a romantic ship, it's hot as hell and tbh I’ve written it both ways. I can enjoy it both ways! But in my personal fanonverse, it’s something I waiver on a lot. I do think they’re good together either way!
A BROTP I have with said character: Daniel and Lestat (it’s a BroTP with benefits, bonus points if it’s with Armand as an OT3). They just have a fun dynamic. They can get into trouble together and cause chaos, but they also sort of even each other out. Daniel allows Lestat to open up a little more than he usually does because he’s a good listener, non-judgemental, and adept at asking the right questions. Lestat allows Daniel to vent about Armand (in an affectionate way - we all need to get things off our chests!) and he appreciates Daniel’s sense of humor and wit. They both liking having fun and doing random shit.
A NOTP I have with said character: I don’t know that I have any real NOTPs with him. Maybe Santino? I don’t personally see him having any sort of romantic relationship with Louis, I see them as being friends who both have great love for Armand, but I’m not bothered by the idea either. 
A random headcanon: When Daniel was recovering from his madness, Armand sent him an iPod when he heard Daniel sometimes got overwhelmed by noise. Daniel became obsessed with the podcasts at the time, mostly radio shows, things like Radio Lab, This American Life, and Stuff You Should Know. After he moves back into Trinity Gate, he and Armand listen to his favorite episodes of these together and have long discussions about them afterward. 
General Opinion over said character: I think Daniel is neat. He’s affable, he’s friendly, he’s good at making conversation. He’s curious and up for almost anything, which is why he and Armand work so well. He’s funny and has a dark, sardonic sense of humor. He laughs easily, maybe too easily, but he’s pretty easy to get along with. He’s generally pretty agreeable but he isn’t afraid to speak up when necessary. He’s a cool dude. I dig him.

I don’t actually know if this is an “unpopular” opinion tbh but. I’ve seen several posts over my time in mash fandom about teaching Jamie Farr about Klinger’s gender identity/trans and nonbinary identity in general and they always rub me the wrong way.
It’s possible I’m mistaken (I’ve heard it said that Jamie Farr was the one that asked for Klinger to stop cross-dressing, but I’ve not found a source for this, and he’s not ever mentioned it in the multiple interviews he’s given since mash ended, at least to my knowledge).
But yeah basically none of the mash cast members are Unproblematic (they’re!! people!!) and I think Farr has a reputation as like, homophobic or transphobic or something when I think that’s really undeserved.
lol, i agree, that's kind of corny. i'm sure i've rb'd posts like that because i think they're silly and fun and i would never seriously consider explaining to an actor what they 'didn't get' about a character they played unless i was being paid to direct them.
i tend not to seek out the political views of creators unless i feel it could help me understand their work a bit more, and even then it's not something i rely on heavily. if you're saying that his asking to not wear dresses anymore is what people are going on when they say he's transphobic like, that's a huge leap imo.
my discomfort comes more from the idea that we're giving credit where it isn't due by claiming farr 'doesn't get' that klinger is a canonically trans icon (which i don't think i've seen anyone claim but tbh, and i've complained about this a lot recently, i have no fucking clue when people are talking about their headcanons and when they're talking about a narrative read).
the unspoken part of my 'klinger is canonically a rebel' post was that i wanted to point out that that's a real thing, and sometimes i think we're looking very hard for things to project onto our favourite characters that actually already exist, but in a different or less specific way. other times you're simply patting someone on the back who didn't ask for it, and doesn't deserve to be congratulated for whatever is being claimed they've done. i got no problem with gender and sexuality headcanons, but that's just one way to engage with a text, i'm providing alternatives that give me what i want in the realm of canon, which is less work than making up my own stuff and also acknowledges the efforts of the creators :)
i've also read he asked to stop wearing dresses because he didn't want his kids being made fun of - and that's fair. that might even be a legitimate concern for an actor to have today. it's important we still acknowledge that he was the 'man in a dress' - they knew that would get laughs they played into that, even if part of it was about his rebellion against the army. being willing to 'act crazy' by wearing a dress was a bankable character beat, few people were likely saying to themselves at the time 'hey, why is it crazy for a man to wear skirts?' - there's intent, and then there's impact. nowadays here on the insular tumblr dot com, people are calling klinger beautiful and attractive and inspiring because of his dresses, and i'm sure some people did back then too, but that's not what the creators were counting on happening.

Someone did suggest to me that Kennedy is a parallel to Kristine, as a character who gets into a relationship with a Denoga at the end of their debut… Of course, this means Becker and Kennedy might break up, which also makes Kristine a parallel to Kiley too? I hope we still see more of Kennedy, and Kristine for that matter.
U are so right!
Scott and Kristine are such different characters. She's smart whereas our boy Scott is... less so. She's from a rich background whereas Scott is from a more humble background. He's into video games, and sports, and she doesn't understand either. He definitely doesn't get her thing for hats. Even their birthdays, as Hailey points out, are almost as far apart as possible.
And then you have Kennedy and Becker. Kennedy is immediately established as this super straight-laced rule follower. The only interaction they have until Kennedy confesses her crush is getting Becker busted for rule breaking. Until we know more about them, they pretty much have zero things in common as it stands. Becker might even eventually find her overpreparedness for chaos to take the fun out of it!
It's too early to say with any confidence, so it's pretty much just wild speculation seen through shipping goggles, but I feel like Scott and Kennedy are both a good opportunity to show their love interests, Hailey and Becker respectively, that the things that make them less compatible, they can actually find within each other. Hailey and Becker are both smart but impulsive, they're both willing to break the rules-- albeit Hailey is newer at it, no one on EARTH could convince me that Becker wouldn't be THRILLED to find out about the crimes Hailey regularly commits. She broke into a government facility! Becker would love that so much! Scott is much more of a yes man to Hailey, her almost taking advantage of this willingness at time, whereas Becker wouldn't hesitate to tell Hailey what's on her mind.
Their biggest difference is actually something rather poetic, Becker being a destroyer while Hailey is a creator. And as seen from their birdhouse, both are willing to accommodate the other.
Until the misunderstanding with the twins, they got along well. They were both amicable to one another, and Hailey never showed any aversion to her destructive tendencies apart from the incident with the pumas, which it turned out Becker had nothing to so with because as wild as Becker is, she doesn't actually want to put anyone in danger (handing Hailey the safety goggles before she exploded their birdhouse was adorable).
Again, just speculation, but it almost feels like they wanted to establish the idea of Becker and Hailey potentially having a relationship, but putting it on ice while both girls have more character development.
I mean, come on. Even the way Hailey puts Becker off-- or more specifically, the way the twins put her off-- was by seeing like she was TOO into Becker. The exact opposite reason that Kristine split from Scott.

Does the mall still receive orders somehow? Like for the candy or for bird food, etc?
It does not! All products currently inside the mall were already there at the point it was abandoned. Only a handful of the candy y/n took home in the first chapter was still edible lol
Phoenix hasn't had actual bird pellet in a few decades and instead lives off a healthy diet of fresh fruits and vegetables - with the occasional treat of dandelion greens.
You'll have to wait for chapter 2 to find out how they've got any of that though

((hope it's not too late to send these in)) #4, 14, and 32!
hiii, you're not too late at all! <3
4. a set that flopped but deserved better def this and this
14. how long does it usually take you to make a set oh, that really depends tbh! a "plain" gifset (like just a scene or something) i'd say take me around 30-40 mins. but the more edited ones can take up a whole evening (sometimes days if i don't know what i want to do with the gifset). to me what takes the most time is finding what scenes to gif bc i have such a hard time deciding 💀
32. what is your favorite tool/adjustment layer in photoshop selective color adjustment is my bestie <3 but also curves and hue/saturation!
send me an ask about gif-making <3

A DIY Blorbo of mine I’m overdue talking about is Cora Vérany! Cora is a young university student, half French half English based in London. She was a Mod back when it was fashionable and still clings to the remnants of that subculture. She’s exceptionally bright, academia wise, but often naive. She expects the best of people and unfortunately the other characters often prove her wrong. I don’t know how much sense I’m making but the gist is she deserves better and that’s all my fault 🥲
You make sense, no worries!! And she deserves better and that’s all my fault is such A MOOD.
She reminds of my own OC, Leta and I feel like they’d get along well! Leta is a very soft soul that always sees the best in people and like Cora, that often comes around to bite her. She definitely deserves better and it’s definitely all my fault XD
Leta is one of those sensitive artistic types, with her head in the clouds. She’s intelligent but not a genius. All her talent is through hard work and dedication. She prefers paintbrush and canvas and charcoal to parties and crowds. She’s sweet and kind and I just love her to bits. Ugh I actually love the idea of these two being friends because they deserve a friend that won’t prove them wrong. 😭
Aerdassa wouldn’t think too highly of Cora’s naïveté. She’s extremely perceptive and has a rather…not necessarily pessimistic view of the world, but she’s definitely a realist. And it serves her well growing up at court and then being married off to the enemy as part of a peace deal. Suspicious by nature and gifted at deception, she excels at court politics. And though she might see Cora’s naïveté as a weakness and something to be exploited, there’s also a possibility she’d also be protective of her, fucking up anyone that dared to fuck with Cora.
Gush about an OC in my inbox!

Sobbing uncontrollably reading through a dissertation about the college experience of students with ADHD. It is like reading a report about my life that just says over and over "My experiences are real. My hardships are real. I am not lazy, I am not dumb. My struggles were not my fault, and they were not a moral failing. The failure was with the system, not with me."
Here's a line that got me in particular:
"Hotez et al.(2022) compared the health, academic, and non-academic capacities of a nationally representative sample of U.S. first-year college students with ADHD and without ADHD. Students with ADHD self-reported lower academic aspirations and more feelings of depression and overwhelm, ranking themselves lower in their general emotional health. The fact that students with ADHD scored in the highest 10th percentile for many non-academic traits, such as artistic ability, computer skills, creativity, public speaking, social confidence, self-understanding and understanding of others, compassion, and risk-tasking, suggests that this population has strengths that are frequently underappreciated in academia."
(the paper is a thesis called "Understanding the Collegiate Experience for Students With ADHD" by Gia Long, 2022)

Hello, I really like your art, and I assume you’ve likely already made a fire dragon, but a picture I took reminded me of your dragon art. So I thought I’d send it anyway and see if you could make a dragon from it or link towards the post of the fire dragon if you’d already made one.

i can see the trio dangerously driving to or from a party. they’re speeding down the empty road, the new future album blasting from the speakers of topper’s jeep. kelce is up front, and reader and rafe are in the back. reader is a bit drunk and rafe is high out of his mind and can’t control his feelings for reader so he starts getting touchy with her, maybe trying to kiss her. since you’re just starting this au out, i’m curious to know how do you think reader would react and if she did kiss him back, how would topper and kelce react?
Tumblr media
the last line of coke was a mistake—it made him lose the last bits of his self control. it was clear that he was way too high to drive, even though it seemed like rafe always drove clear-headed or not, so you were assigned babysitting duty in the back.
top was on a rager today, even worse than his usual ones. whenever him and sarah started fighting, he got like this, currently blasting some future song at the highest volume possible, speeding through the streets of kildare. you would be a little scared, except kelce is driving while topper nurses yet another beer in the passenger seat. you're deliciously drunk, still gone from the drinks you had at the party, not a care in the world except making sure rafe doesn't keel over in the back.
you mumble along the words to the song, pretty much engraved in your memory from how often it was played. you don't know how it happens, your fingers just find rafe's hair, brushing it out of his face while he talks to top and kelce in the front, amped up and loud, acting as crazy as you've ever seen him. you giggle, continuing your motions.
topper begins some rant about his girlfriend, or rather, his ex, while rafe locks eyes with you. it's hard to keep eye contact, looking away the second rafe shuts up and focuses on you completely. you're never shy around them but this might be the closest you've gotten.
you feel rafe's hands on your exposed thighs, your tiny skirt ridden up in the seat. his touch feels good, in your drunken state you don't think there's anything wrong with it. he's just being friendly, being touchy, being rafe. he strokes the soft skin of your legs, running his hands down to your ankles, while you shift around in the back. all it would take is one look from the boys in the front to see that something's going on back here.
"rafe, listen to top he's talkin-"
"shh," rafe says, noise completely overlooked by the others, nothing audible except the thump of the bass. he takes your face into his hand, leaning in close. "shut up for a second." he kisses you, briefly, barely, lips touching together and your eyes fluttering shut, when kelce slams on the brakes. the two of you fly apart, your heart thudding for an entirely different reason now.
"what the fuck, kelce, my brakes-" top starts.
"it was a deer, you idiot. you guys okay?" he turns to look at you and rafe in the back, your face flushed and rafe's hands still on your legs.
"fine," rafe mumbles. the four of you head back to tannyhill, you crashing on rafe's bed like always while top and kelce take the guest room down the ball. the two of you are out before you can bring it up, but rafe doesn't forget about it.
in the morning, you stretch, the oversized shirt of his you'd put on for the night riding up. rafe doesn't wait another minute.
"so, about last night. in the car." he looks at you, waiting for your response.
"oh, rafe, don't apologize. it's okay. we were both pretty gone."
"m'not apologizin', i-"
"and i mean, who hasn't been there once or twice-"
"once or twice?"
"and i kissed kelce that one time, so i guess-"
"you kissed kelce?" rafe looks at you like you've committed a crime.
"what? it was new years."
"where the hell was i?"
"i don't know, probably sucking some girl's face off. i was busy making out with kelce, remember?" you laugh, getting up and looking for your clothes. rafe lays back down on the bed, deciding he's never leaving you alone with kelce ever again.
