Ok so if the main five ( plus ingram cause I love him) dressed up for holloween, what do you think they would be?

Hm.. Interesting Idea.

I mean we already HAVE seen a lot of them in costumes

(Ill put pictures under the cut)

But for me id says that atleast once they would dress up as

Mary: I can see her dressing up as something like a ghost bride, or something cute yet scary at the same time. Maybe even a witch one year?

Twyla: Definately something boring like a scientist or librarian or historical figure (Im biased cuz I despise Twyla) Maybe something like steampunk or Frankensteins Monster?

Reginald: I feel like something more formal like a fancy dressed up Skeleton (Im thinking of some art of him ive seen I think) with a top hat and cane and tailcoat or a very formal vampire with that same stuff.

Crowven: VAMPIRE! 100%! Though I could also see him dressing up as like a harpy or a demon or something. But vampire for sure fits him

Vasilis: Maybe a witch? They give witchy vibes. But more like magical witch than spooky witch. Like long flowy pretty stuff.

Ingram: hmmm... I can see him dressing up as a zombie maybe. Possibly a skeleton to match his mouth. Or even a Scarecrow like Ryo tehe! Maybe even a Frankensteins Monster?

WAIT AS WRITING THIS I CAME UP WITH THE PERFECT COSTUME FOR MARY! A CREEPY/HAUNTED DOLL!!!! IT FITS HER SO MUCH! AND SHE ALREADY HAS TIGHTS!!!!

OMG ALSO I CAN SEE REGGIE AND MARY WEARING MATCHING COSTUMES

OR CROWVEN AND VASILIS

OR MARY AND VASILIS AS FRIENDS

ALSO (FAKE) BLOOD TW, GORE TW, AND WEAPON TW FOR THE ART

(Though I do hate that outfit on mary)

Rare & Gen Rec Round-Up - September & October 2022

Hi, friends! November was a doozy for your mods, so we apologize for the delay in getting this post out to you. But we're back, and we hope everyone’s nice and cozy (and warm) and ready to read some of our favorite rare & gen SC works from September and October 2022. We know you'll enjoy them!

–

it was just a wednesday by apothecarose, Stevie/Twyla, rated T, 592 words

Summary: I only drink red wine. She remembers saying those words to David years ago, and she had been telling the truth. She'd never been attracted to another woman, which is why her feelings for Twyla slammed into her like a freight train.

Rec [written by samwhambam]: I really enjoyed this fic. It felt like a nice, warm hug of feelings. It was gentle and the whole thing is the equivalent of the ‘oh’ we love so much. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something short and sweet and full of feelings!

Some of the Things Some of the Time by @chronologicalimplosion, Stevie/David, rated G, 11,050 words

Summary: "How, um... How do you feel about... flavored wines?"

"What, like Herb Ertlinger's fruit wines?" Stevie pulls a face, obviously not having caught on yet.

David takes a deep, only-mildly-mortified breath, hoping she will. "No, like. I mean, what really is a red wine, anyways? Like, sure, it's got a different color from white, but different people like them because they taste different. So I was just wondering. Since you're a red drinker. Is it... the label, or the grapes, or... the taste? What if--I mean--you made a wine out of white grapes but you pissed off Dionysus or the scientists worked their magic or whatever and it came out tasting like a red?"

"Okay, David, I think you are vastly overestimating how picky I am about wine--and also how much I, like, know about wine? Because I know this is a metaphor but I have no idea what you're talking about."

--

A reimagining of the events of Carl's Funeral & Honeymoon (where David and Stevie talk sexuality, hook up, and break up) in which David Rose is a trans man.

Rec [written by doingthemost]: I loved the original in this series, and as a sucker for David/Stevie, I was thrilled to see this new installment! I love this reinterpretation of the canon; the characterization and dialogue are so on point, I would absolutely believe that this is canon.

–

Wishing for an Endless Night by jmda4, Alexis Rose, NR, 594 words

Summary: Alexis tries to cope with the idea of leaving her family.

Rec [written by petalwrites]: This short-and-sweet fic explores what’s going through Alexis’s head before she leaves for New York, and it’s really touching! It really highlights how much she grew throughout the show, which is one of my favorite parts of Schitt’s Creek.

–

The Witch of Schitt’s Creek by @tyfinn, Gen, NR, 1115 words

Summary: Roland Jr. comes to David and Patrick for help when he thinks he sees a witch.

Rec [written by petalwrites]: Something about this really reads like part of a Halloween episode of a sitcom for me — which I’m a sucker for. D/P makes a brief appearance, but the real star here is Roland Jr. It’s a funny, sweet fic about a misunderstanding so true to how kids think. I could definitely see it happening in a future episode of the show.

–

Happy reading, friends!

A Thoroughly Detailed Headcanon About Imps/Cats

Okay, so in a post on my main blog that was about Twyla Haynes, my energetic Imp, I mentioned a headcanon that I wanted to get around to explaining on here. So, why not do that now? (WARNING: BASICALLY RAMBLING ABOUT HEADCANONS A LOT)

So, I share the headcanon with several people (not sure how many) that Imps live in Nimbus, probably with Scientists too. This makes sense, as Nimbus has technology and is in the clouds, which is a benefit for both parties mentioned above. But that’s not what I wanted to talk about today.

See, I’ve always thought that Imps (both the jobs and the monster) have their own kingdom and village - the kingdom in Nimbus and the village in Peculia. The fact that there’s many different types of Imps makes both of these places diverse, and they (normally) live in harmony together, since they’re surprisingly peaceful towards other groups. In the Imp Kingdom, they have a King/Queen/Ruler/Whatever, and the leader has 5-10 close assistants to help run the kingdom. Then the kingdom also has 3-7 scientists staying in the castle (or whatever it is) to keep their technology advanced. In the village, it’s basically a backwater town but they have half of their military there, the other half in Nimbus. This is because they don’t want to have the village assulted while they’re being attacked in Nimbus, vice versa goes for the opposite.

As for Cats, they also have their own kingdom, but in Peculia. They often get into spats with the Imps and their kingdom is the main reason why the village has have half of their armed forces there. They also have a leader, but they don’t always make the calls on what the kingdom will do.

Now, on the topic of Imps themselves, most of them if not all have a surprising amount of knowledge about romance, sexuality, romantic orientation, and gender identity. This is because in their culture, it is completely normal for topics like that to come up because it’s a daily occurrence because they grow up with this kind of society. Pretty much all Imps are supportive of this system because it’s kind of ingrained into their culture and history.

So there’s some background knowledge on my headcanon for Imps prior to the main part. Now, I also imagine that Imps also have a small form of hypnosis, and can be made stronger with practice. Another thing to keep in mind is that I do imagine that there are such thing as Imps with elemental magic as well, instead of dark magic- for example, an Imp with ice based magic (especially as the Mage class didn’t get any ice based spells cri), fire based magic, electric based magic, etc.

Let’s get into the juicy parts, shall we?

If we remember correctly, the Imp enemy is sided with the Dark Lord. However, you’re also given the option of fighting with the Imp job. I thought about this for awhile, and here’s my take on it, though I’m kind of basing this off of my Miitopia fanfic so be warned:

The Imps lived in Nimbus, peacefully and in harmony. In fact, before the Dark Lord came, clashes with the Cats were less intense, and they even allied before that. That was when the Dark Lord appeared, demanding an alliance with them, ordering it from their ruler. Why? This was because the Imps were, simply put, much better suited for helping the Dark Lord than the Cats. They had advanced technology, elemental magic (though it was rare), dark magic, and had more numbers than the Cats did (a kingdom and a village is a lot). However, their ruler refused, wanting nothing to do with imprinting terror onto the world like their ancestors before them (headcanon that Imps used to be harbingers of terror in decades past, but changed their ways). At first, the Dark Lord left them in peace. And then, the ruler of them starts acting strange- almost as if they were being controlled. As it turns out, the Dark Lord used their own dark magic (which can be considered much more powerful than an Imp’s, considering they can steal faces) to use the ruler of them like a puppet, and eventually all of the Imp Kingdom. So basically that’s part of my headcanon on how the Dark Lord gained more power and could be considered more of a threat to miikind.

So then this started the major spat between Imps and Miis, which is why Imps generally aren’t liked. Then there’s also the Imp monster- which I’ll be getting to now. Why is there an Imp job and an Imp monster, with one on the side of good and one on the side of evil?

Well, simply put, I’ve began to headcanon that the Imp monsters are corrupted Imps that were altered and experimented on by the Dark Lord; some to enhance their power, others were failed experiments with the mind control at first. Regardless, they are all corrupted and tortured, only to be at the claws of the Dark Lord.

Here’s some more darker stuff: See, after the main hero defeats the Darkest Lord, all the monsters disappear, right? Those corrupted Imps technically are monsters, who were formerly Imps that had nothing to do with the Dark Lord in the first place. All those Imps disappear, and even then, there was hardly that much of a chance for them to be purified in the first place. Most of the corrupted Imps had lost their remaining shreds of sanity and morals, and their status as monsters in the game can prove just that.

Anyways, that’s most of the headcanon regarding Imps, Cats, and the Imp monster. I might make more like this, but that’s for another day. Though if I end up doing more stuff like this I’ll probably get to explaining unexplored places like Powdered Peaks (one of my personal favourites, tbh) and Galados Isle.

#miitopia #miitopia headcanon #headcanon #miitopia imp #miitopia cat #miitopia imp headcanon #miitopia cat headcanon #mii #there's a reason why Imps are one of my favourite classes

Daily Rituals: How Artists Work

Daily Rituals: How Artists Work by Mason Currey

Franz Kafka, frustrated with his living quarters and day job, wrote in a letter to Felice Bauer in 1912, “time is short, my strength is limited, the office is a horror, the apartment is noisy, and if a pleasant, straightforward life is not possible then one must try to wriggle through by subtle maneuvers.” Kafka is one of 161 inspired—and inspiring—minds, among them, novelists, poets, playwrights, painters, philosophers, scientists, and mathematicians, who describe how they subtly maneuver the many (self-inflicted) obstacles and (self-imposed) daily rituals to get done the work they love to do, whether by waking early or staying up late; whether by self-medicating with doughnuts or bathing, drinking vast quantities of coffee, or taking long daily walks. Thomas Wolfe wrote standing up in the kitchen, the top of the refrigerator as his desk, dreamily fondling his “male configurations”. . . Jean-Paul Sartre chewed on Corydrane tablets (a mix of amphetamine and aspirin), ingesting ten times the recommended dose each day . . . Descartes liked to linger in bed, his mind wandering in sleep through woods, gardens, and enchanted palaces where he experienced “every pleasure imaginable.” Here are: Anthony Trollope, who demanded of himself that each morning he write three thousand words (250 words every fifteen minutes for three hours) before going off to his job at the postal service, which he kept for thirty-three years during the writing of more than two dozen books . . . Karl Marx . . . Woody Allen . . . Agatha Christie . . . George Balanchine, who did most of his work while ironing . . . Leo Tolstoy . . . Charles Dickens . . . Pablo Picasso . . . George Gershwin, who, said his brother Ira, worked for twelve hours a day from late morning to midnight, composing at the piano in pajamas, bathrobe, and slippers . . . Here also are the daily rituals of Charles Darwin, Andy Warhol, John Updike, Twyla Tharp, Benjamin Franklin, William Faulkner, Jane Austen, Anne Rice, and Igor Stravinsky (he was never able to compose unless he was sure no one could hear him and, when blocked, stood on his head to “clear the brain”). Brilliantly compiled and edited, and filled with detail and anecdote, Daily Rituals is irresistible, addictive, magically inspiring.
