would y’all be mad at me if I was and have been working on a fankid sth AU project

If anyone has any good post season 4 fics that focus on jancy talking/arguing about all their failed communication and Jonathan’s lies and Nancy flirting with Steve, I would love to read them. I’ve looked but can’t seem to find any that scratch that itch for me and am wondering if they even exist? I think a lot of fics brush past their unresolved season 4 problems and want to see them addressing their issues and either working through them or breaking up because of them. Whether or not jancy stay together at the end doesn’t really matter to me. (I don’t mind bittersweet endings and think there’s lots of potential for jancy to have one)

does anyone ever experience reoccurring dream locations? instead of just the same dream- it’s the same place that you’ve been to multiple times but these places don’t exist in real life

Qoutes from my irl friends as dndads characters cuz its Jan 1st (idk why I’m doing this-) idea from @ike-mcswains-mortician i think!

“What’s murder by yourself?” “That’s called sucicide”-Normal/Scary

“How high are your thighs??” -Henry Oak

It’s that time again where I’m absolutely insane. Just bear with me. 

I can’t stop thinking about how the only person Warren has canonically told “I love you” to is Hypno. He doesn’t say he loves himself, which is funny considering he’s a little self-obsessed and is seen kissing his own reflection. He only says those words to Hypno. And his eyes are sparkling when he says it, and there’s so much feeling and passion in his voice, even as he misinterprets Hypno’s warning for the situation he just crawled into. Warren looks at Hypno as if the magician hung the moon in the sky just for him, that Hypno can do no wrong. He loves him so much, and it’s touching. 

Warren hates his life, hates the turtles, hates everything it seems (including his old co-workers that he was shown to have had good prior relationships with), and even disliked Hypno at one point. But nah, he managed to get over this one thing and let something good in. He fell in love with someone he likely never would’ve met had the circumstances been different, and I think that’s really fucking beautiful. 

taking this international asexual day to say that crowley and aziraphale from good omens are asexual and would never have sex thank you and goodnight

I remember once I complained that there wasn’t enough James/Keith content and someone got really mad because of course there was, there were like 50 fanfics and a comic about it. (There are more fics now but this was quite a while ago)

But guys. They didn’t see that I wrote 7 of the fics and the comic

I feel like I’m the only one who thinks Blake and Yang not having kissed yet is fine. Like Pyrrha kissed Jaune bc she was going off to die. Nora kissed Ren with the built of frustration and mutual pining they both had but it happened at a bad time bc Tyrian and Watts pulled their shit at the rally. They COULD have kissed when they reunited in V8 but idk. Not that a couple needs to kiss on screen to be valid or canon but with Arkos and Renora even tho ppl were around it wasn’t like their entire team coming together it was just the two of them kinda vibes? And of course Blake and Yang could kiss and still have to higher out their issues like Renora did but their dynamic is Different so their special just us two moment will be different. Not to mention Renora had that girl and boy bets fiends who actually like each other vibes the moment we saw them and they didn’t kiss until volume seven. So the bees are just the volume after them and Renora still aren’t together together despite the kiss. So while I understand the frustration and how haters will say it took too long or it was rushed or handled badly I personally think the TACKLE HUG AND CUDDLE was fine for the Very First Episode. Especially since right after Weiss broke down and told them about Penny and Jaune so. There moment in the garden will come and it will be special even if I understand the frustration. Cause I’ve been there and been burned by ships I’ve had in the past but that was my own delusion it’s clear Blake and Yang are in love the world has just been giving them nothing but walls to deal with it will happen. If you have negative thoughts about this those are valid just don’t put them on this post please and thank you it’s why this is here and not Twitter Lmao

I'm gonna ask about AS Four, but more specifically, please tell me about Shadow? I'm so curious how he plays a role in Four's adventure here

I’m happy to elaborate!

Shadow takes the place of several others. He takes on Impa’s role of giving Four help and direction, but acts as a closer companion by traveling with him most of the time. He also acts like the next gen champions in that he helps Four get to the divine beasts.

Shadow first spawned into existence when Four fell to the guardians, springing up as the calamity’s soldier. He exists to torment and mock an already devastated land, and for the first few years that’s exactly what he did. He’s done horrible things, burned towns to the ground, stalked lone travelers who dared walk alone at night, destroying the crops that people needed to live off of.

The thing is, Shadow wasn’t really a person then. He was merely a puppet on strings, following his task as it was assigned. Dot took it upon herself to try and sever those strings, wanting to stop her people from suffering as much as she could.

Slowly Shadow went from a simple tool to someone who could think, feel, and respond to the world around him. His reign of terror shifted to something more mischievous. Instead of trying to hunt lone travelers at night, he simply tries to scare them.

As his connection to the calamity grew weaker, he became more independent, until there was just a small thread connecting him to his original source. This was something Dot couldn’t sever on her own, so she decided to try and talk with him.

He disliked her at first, furious that she’d dare imply he’d betray his creator, but time passed and he began to see her as a friend. She talked about the beauty of the land and its people, and he spent time traveling and exploring. He fell in love with the world, and fell in love with the idea of being alive, of being a person. He severed that last tie himself, and agreed to help her stop the calamity when the hero woke up.

If he woke up. 100 years was a long time to wait.

When Four did wake up, the first thing Shadow set about doing was finding something to help him get down from the plateau. By the time he found the glider and arrived to say hi to Four, Four had made decent progress and all of them were currently arguing over what color the tower should be. He showed up to see it glowing green, then blue, then red, then green again, then red, then violet, then green (again), then blue, red, blue, red, blue, GREEN, blue, violet-

Shadow gets to the top of the tower to see them all smacking their slates together on the middle pedestal like it’s some sort of angry bumper cars game. There’s lots of hair pulling and shoving involved. All of them are arguing. The only person wearing anything more than underpants is red, who got the warm doublet. Shadow has to process the fact that there’s four of him and also what they’re all currently arguing. He’s half tempted to just float away.

Anyway they eventually notice him and draw their weapons (which consist of two boko bats (Red and Green), a hammer (Blue), and a boko bow (Vio)). The tower was left on blue.

He does manage to explain, and Dot uses some energy to inform them that yes, she trusts him, and he’s there to help. They reluctantly agree, and Shadow joins the party.

After terrorizing the people for a decade, stories have been passed about him, so whenever they go into a town, he hides in their shadow (usually Vio’s, but sometimes someone else’s). He helps them with where to go, and assists in getting them onto the divine beast. He also tries to help them practice when they’re combined, usually by settling little disputes or helping with decisions that could end with him splitting. He can’t help in shrines, though, which is another reason why Four avoids them at first (the other reason being that he’s forced to be combined, which is difficult at first).

Another big thing Shadow does occurs later in the journey. They’ve defeated the first divine beast, but it was a close battle. They freed the spirit of the champion (somebody they hadn’t known well to begin with) and Blue gets the power from Vah Ruta, though it’s something they all have access to as Four.

Anyway, they decide they need more practice being combined, but after that near defeat they’re all stressed and prone to arguing. Shadow suggests they explore a little to relax before they work on teamwork. A break could really do them some good.

Anyway, they end up at Gerudo town.

Being too far apart from one another causes them a lot of emotional distress, but so long as they stay in the same map zone they should be fine, so they agree to stay at the desert for awhile.

Green goes off and kills some moldugas (for fun and for profit). Red and Blue get Gerudo vai clothes (and don’t tell the others how they’re getting into the town). Red does some quests for people in town and impulsively spends all their money on arrows, then sells all their molduga guts and buys more arrows (much to Green’s frustration). Blue meanwhile scams some random guy out of several pairs of boots and immediately gets them dyed blue so nobody else will use them.

Vio? Well, he goes exploring and ends up at the Yiga’s camp. He stays hidden, but Shadow gets caught. The thing is, since he’s a fragment of the calamity, the Yiga are 100% on board with following him. They believe that his words are the words of their master, and Shadow absolutely plays along. He ends up ‘capturing’ Vio, and then claims that he’s “convinced this fragment of the hero to join the side of darkness!” and the two end up ‘ruling’ the Yiga clan together (but in reality are working to take it down from the inside).

Anyway, when the other three go looking for Vio they end up uncovering this, and the whole scheme is blown. They do manage to take down the leader of the Yiga though, and end up blowing the entire place up. It’ll be awhile before the Yiga are able to retaliate, which is good for them! With that all done, they proceed to the next divine beast (Vah Naboris).

At the end of the quest the four split up, teleporting to the divine beasts. They fire upon the calamity, and then teleport to the castle to regroup, combine, and fight it once and for all. Shadow tries to help, but is near useless in the fight. It’s up to Four and Dot now.

In the end, they win. Exhausted and battered, but victorious. Shadow knew that the end of the calamity would mean his source of power dwindled, but he expected to vanish completely. Shadow made sure to say goodbye as the calamity fell.

But he didn’t vanish, not completely. His energy was drained, but he did not die.

Nowadays he spends most of his time resting in Four’s shadow, only partially conscious but able to use his powers to speak with him mentally (much like the colors do when they’re combined as Four). Exiting Four’s shadow and using his physical form is exhausting, but he does it when he has the energy. Blood moons still occur despite the calamity’s defeat, and Shadow gets a burst of power from it. He always utilizes it to spend time with Four, and it’s become something they both look forward to.

Shadow tags along during Four’s next adventure with the chain, but Four hasn’t mentioned him to the others yet.

question: if we find like a spelling or grammar or continuation or etc mistake in your fics, do you want us to let you know or?

if it is somehow actively impeding your reading of the story (as in, you cannot understand what the sentence is saying), you may point it out. But if it’s a small spelling error or something, I would say no don’t point it out because fanfic is a fun little thing I do in my free time that I write and edit entirely by myself and it is not meant to be perfect nor am I holding myself to a standard where I believe it should be. Making fanfic is just supposed to be fun and silly so correcting errors in one is kind of like inspecting the structural integrity of a sand castle.

You know, you’d think tumblr staff would be too busy with the literal hundreds of spam bots I reported yesterday (and the other hundred a few days before that, and the other couple hundred last week, and the literal thousands I haven’t had the time/spoons to go through and report) to ban random trans people or censor screenshots of tweets about trans rights. And Yet guess which blogs are still up posting stolen pictures of random peoples breasts and genitals and which blogs are just straight up gone

Spotify Wrapped BL Couples Edition

Put your top 100 (101) songs on shuffle and assign the first ten random songs you get to a specific BL couple, doesn’t have to make complete sense to anyone but you. This is harder than it sounds, trust me.

No need to tag anyone, just have fun trying to match random songs to your favourite (or least favourite) couples, and yes, not entirely canon couples count too ;)

It’s Father’s Day 💙

So I’ve been doing my chores like I do most Sundays, and I was thinking back on a conversation I had with a friend the other night when we discussed the details of our yearly Friendsgivesmas. (For those new here, my friends and I created a holiday in 2021 that combines all the holidays into one day.) I’m hosting, cooking, drink acquiring, which I enjoy doing, and she was giving me the money to do it. All good. And it hit me today that the only solid plans I have with my friends is four months from now.

And I know life happens and all of my friends are married and have kids and other obligations. It’s fine. Mostly I’m just mad that all I ever heard growing up, about being an adult, is that you have a partner and kids and a house and a job, etc. No one tells you how to navigate adulthood when you only have the house and the job when everyone else you spend time with has all those other things. And for the record, I’m absolutely fine with the lack of crotch goblins. That’s not a regret I’ll ever have. But it does get lonely sometimes when it’s just you and the dog. No one prepares you for how hard it is to meet new people as an adult. Especially when you’re painfully awkward around new people.

And that really suck.

Miraculous is such a frustrating show.

The concept is fucking great, it’s something I’d definitely get into, but the only real produced media that adapts this concept is garbage, why haven’t any of the characters or villains progressed in the span of 5 seasons? I’ve watched 12 episode anime with more development.
