It's Angsting About Cole Hours again, folks. This is non-negotiable

Am I devastated that the moment they found Zane's face in the snow, confirming his death, Cole's first reaction was to comfort Nya? Am I suggesting that this reaction in some way relates to Cole's tendency to take on responsibility in times of crisis?

Am I also suggesting that there is a running trend of him taking on too much responsibility, getting overwhelmed, and then running away when he can't handle all the pressure anymore (first with his mother's death, and then with Zane's)? Am I suggesting that this might be why Cole broke off from the team after season 3 - he tried so hard to hold everyone together but it became too much and he fled? Like, with Cole commenting to Lloyd that he became a lumberjack because out in the woods no one expects anything from you? Because even if he's everyone's tough and solid foundation for emotional support, even the strongest of rocks break under enough pressure?

Psh, nonsense, this is just a silly lego show where nothing is ever painful and no one is ever traumatized. That's ridiculous.

i have this silly little undeveloped au in my brain that's just like. tedependent but it's the sarah jane adventures. sort of. not literally in the doctor who universe necessarily but like. local intrepid reporter trent crimm investigating weird shit except the local neighborhood kids will not leave him alone.

i have so many thoughts about this but none of them are coherent enough for a proper fic i think:

i just think trent being good with kids, generally. go mentor figure trent! (what this has nothing to do with my thesis what do you mean)

trent, like sarah jane pre-series, having a sort of reputation in the neighborhood (or in general, since i'm also incorporating his actual canon vibes/story) as to being standoffish, aloof, cold, etc., and generally anti-social, keeping to himself. and as the kids keep dragging him into things kicking and screaming he might also be dragged kicking and screaming into a community <3

if his daughter is essentially luke does that mean he adopted her under Strange Alien-Related Circumstances? absolutely it does, yes.

see i've got two great ideas for ted/tedependent. on one hand, although in the context of SJA/nuwho i'm not so much one for sarah jane and the doctor as a Thing, ted playing the role of like. someone from trent's Mysterious Past who he won't talk about who set him on this path? someone who was kind and wonderful and changed his life but then--at least it feels like to him--abandoned him? someone who made him a better person--from doing whatever journalism he used to do to this--someone who he's still kinda in love with... but trent can no longer even really talk to......until he shows up again? that's some good shit, not gonna lie. although i'm jimmying that into a happy ending somehow, goddamn it.

ALTERNATIVELY. henry being one of the Neighborhood Kids (as if we're using "canon" kids, we've got limited options) and ted being an oblivious parent. trent is trying to get these kids to STOP POKING INTO DANGEROUS ALIEN NONSENSE PLEASE THIS IS HIS JOB PLEASE STOP BREAKING INTO HIS HOUSE but they're stubborn and smart and they may or may not have saved his life once or twice and oh GOD THIS IS SO IRRESPONSIBLE but he can't just TELL THESE RANDOM NEIGHBORS about ALIENS. but like anyway this just painful secret identity-esque nonsense where ted knows henry's taken a shine to that nice journalist down the street and his daughter but does NOT know that henry is getting into Shenanigans(TM). this could lead into all sorts of drama about, you know, his kid being in danger... or, alternatively, ted has worked with some unit/torchwood-esque place before and is like OHH you know what? this explains that time i thought i heard you speaking an alien language. cool, cool. and trents like. .....WHAT

etc. i'm not wording this well but i think you get the idea.

if you really really wanted to make it complicated you could do both, considering the doctor's whole thing--either a fob watch or a regeneration--but honestly, i don't want to do that, so i won't

some of the adults do definitely get involved though. keeley either clocks that shit right away or thinks she's clocked it but she's actually clocked something entirely different. she's like i know you're mi6 babe ;) and he. is not. meanwhile roy having ten freakouts in a row and then being like nvm i'm fine with this. (is not fine with this, but will be eventually). jamies like yeah aliens. everyone knows about those. and they're like what?? no they dont?? and so on.

is beard an alien? genuinely no one's sure. he's not telling.

HOLD ON can i give trent k-9???? can trent crimm get a robot dog?????? yes please i think he deserves a robot dog

also see the trickster episodes? bet you could do something real fucked up with those.

i feel like i had more when i started this post but i don't remember

this not well thought out at all and i have no idea where everyone would fit in

anyway my point is. trent crimm, intrepid journalist, running around trying to stop alien shenanigans while Those Meddling Kids keep following him around. trent crimm doin a little Breaking And Entering. scooby doo shit. and he has such an interesting mix of seeming suave and badass and then immediately doing something embarrassing. trent crimm--via shenanigans and also Those Meddling Kids dragging him into their lives (aka he tries to keep his distance SO badly and only is involved when dangerous shit is going down but like then it's all. child knocking on his door like IT'S AN EMERGENCY OPEN UP and hes like WHAT WHAT IS IT and theyre like can you help me with my homework :( and hes like. fuck. yeah fine what do you want help with. (some subjects he's very helpful on others he's VERY not) until they're like okay but you're coming to this bbq right. and he's like? no? and they're like you're coming to this bbq right. and so on) ANYWAY the point is they keep dragging him into their lives and now oops! trent actually knows his neighbors and has to go through the mortifying ordeal of being known. but that also means that when he gets badly hurt or sick he's used to the empty hospital room but now he actually gets people showing up and forcing baked goods on him and shit and i'm just feeling a lot of things about this extremely hypothetical au based on my already existing feelings about trent gaining a community in s3/post-canon,

wait does this mean trent gets sonic lipstick? HELL YEAH IT DOES

they are in arizona :)

didnt expexct thoughtful discussion on what was just a shouting at a wall post. but im a guy who loves talking and engaging everyone can say hi always and forever

his attitude so silly. his vibes so whimsical. all the boys want to kiss him

"...I'm locking Freddy's charging station at night now."

speaking of the horrors brian goosebumpsphantomoftheauditorium is still So funny for being like yeah i'm a ghost i know i'm a ghost. & he's befriended the horror fan menace duo who are giggling clutching each other like omg omg okay. we're fine. we're breaking into the school at night to investigate the horrors aaaa what if there's a ghost eek ok ok!!! & brian ghost who knows he's a ghost is like omg guys aaaa stopppp ;;m;; suffering thee Most but he's not putting on an act to conceal his phantomly destiny. he's just like that

"There are two ways to get on Michael's good side. The first is to indulge his pyromania." She actually doesn't have a second way. That's it.

I miss luocha :(

Years ago I came up with an ATLA fic idea for the earth avatar after korra and it was kinda good but I stopped caring about it. as I developed the plot and transformed my initial (flawed) idea, I got less interested in it because it was no longer the same idea. I basically wanted to write Trope A, didn't like that it was such a bad rendition of Trope A, fixed it, and got bored cause it wasn't Trope A anymore. I absolutely don't have the time (or desire) to go write it now (especially with avatar studios coming in hot with a new avatar), but damn I hope an alternate universe-me wrote it.

Apropos of absolutely nothing, like, I'm happy with creating a new Legends: Arceus protagonist instead of binding myself to any of my many previously created characters, but I definitely missed out on an opportunity by not forcing my Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time protagonist, Crystal, across dimensions and back into a human body to save another world.

She's perfect for the job. She's dedicated her life to helping others and exploring the unknown. She has an intimate understanding of Pokemon and their behaviors. She's been up close and personal with space-time weirdness. Her wilderness survival skills are top tier. She'll help calm the nobles. She'll help build Jubilife from the ground up.

She's so goddamn weird. She can still talk to Pokemon. She cannot actually remember have ever seen a human being before. She has visions of the future spurred by the power of friendship. She's surprised to have thumbs again. She doesn't know what a Pokeball or an apricorn is. She will personally participate in battles by throwing rocks and twigs at the opposing Pokemon. She keeps referring to strange things like "wonder orbs" and "time gears". She hears from Professor Laventon about a mysterious Pokemon he saw in the waters off the coast and she says "oh, that sounds like my son" and does not elaborate.

She's driven by love and righteous rage. She wants to help. She wants to go home. She writes a Pokedex entry for Mudkip in the first person. The first time she spot a Turtwig in the wild, a suffocating wave of homesickness crashes over her.

She blasphemes directly to Adaman and Iridia by claiming to know the nature of the Almighty Sinnoh and that they're both right and both wrong. She tells Kamado that her best friends have always been Pokemon. She sympathizes with Ingo about what it's like to not know yourself; they've both forgotten too much to even know what else they have in common.

Is she a prophet? A witch? A harbinger of the end? The sky turns red and casts the land in its shadow and all she can think is that at least it isn't gray, at least she can still feel the wind on her face. She's been here before. Dialga's form is different but its mad rage is familiar and the light of the sky glints orange off of the lightest colors on its body. She's done this before.

i’ve concluded i’ll visit philadelphia if i ever go to america simply because i’m fascinated by your posts about it and want to see what it’s like. also, a genuine non-judgemental question, what do you find interesting about baseball? i gave it a go a few times and i found it so boring i fell asleep every time….

ball go boom

I returned to FEH in time for the Fomortiis/Gotoh double banner and can I just say...dear artist who drew Fomortiis, you deserve a raise. My unhinged simp thoughts below:

So I am a lover of all things Lyon. Normal Lyon, Possessed!Lyon, Fomortiis himself...I love it all. And they did the Demon King JUSTICE with this art. He looks intimidating and impressive, and they gave him a massive stature as one would expect of the Demon King himself! The art is polished, and so fucking massive that to see the entirety of his character art you’d need to visit the FEH twitter just to see it! The Lv 40 confession feels like the most evil marriage proposal I have ever fucking heard, and I love it. But that might just be my monsterfucker ass interpreting it entirely differently to how it’s supposed to be presented. And that is FINE by me lol. I’m a big simp for both Lyon and Fomortiis, and I make NO secret of that. So all of this just feels like a very early birthday present from FEH as a whole because oh my GOD did they hit every one of the notes I like with Morti! And I love the added detail of the sprite of Lyon’s body slumping forward before righting itself almost unnaturally - a staple of any cheesy possession scene in movies and tv shows! It’s such a neat detail for anyone actually LOOKING.

⚠️ got ate by a robot / being a bad listener lol

send me a ⚠️ with a reason my muse should be shamed

"instructions unclear, was told the robot was for me."

the ones not filled out she’s pretty 50/50 on jolene obviously

well, it's probably fine that jolene isn't okay with being a little haunted considering jolene's usually one of the ones doing the haunting-

💬 + got vanessa to draw on mike's face when he was asleep >:(

Send 💬 + a rumor and my muse will react to it. / accepting

"I might have talked someone into drawing on your face. Who my assistant was is strictly confidential." As if she's not the only other person who was around last night. "This wouldn't happen if you didn't fall asleep on the job, y'know."
